[04:02] <brujo> how to set baud rate for serial port
[04:02] <snuitje> ohes
[04:02] <brujo> in C++
[04:02] <hell_fire> dmsuperman, you go to OSU?
[04:03] <Flannel> brujo: ##C++
[04:03] <Trevkor> And the only person I know that has any skill with Linux wants me to learn how to do it myself, which makes sense, but I'm really just stuck here.
[04:03] <dmsuperman> hell_fire: Eh, no...
[04:03] <kevin_> anyone know how i can hide the join/part messages in irssi?
[04:03] <dmsuperman> hell_fire: #ubuntu-offtopic for that sort of question though
[04:03] <hell_fire> k
[04:03] <hell_fire> dmsuperman, but my real question was about custom host IP names?
[04:04] <dmsuperman> hell_fire: See #freenode
[04:04] <hell_fire> cool
[04:04] <dmsuperman> !alias | hell_fire
[04:04] <ardchoille> kevin_: it's possible, but I forget how, try #irssi
[04:04] <dmsuperman> Gah
[04:04] <Flannel> kevin_: /ignore -channels #chan * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS
[04:04] <dmsuperman> hell_fire: You want to ask them about hostmask
[04:04] <Trevkor> snuitje: So, any idea besides just doing a clean install of 8.04?
[04:04] <snuitje> Trevkor: ok lets start from the beginnng
[04:04] <hell_fire> okay
[04:04] <snuitje> Trevkor: under X, in a terminal (xterm/gnome-terminal/whatever), run glxinfo|grep direct
[04:06] <Trevkor> snuitje: Quite a few "extension 'GLX' missing on display ':0.0' " messages, with an "Error: couldn't find RGB GLXX visual or fbconfig" message
[04:06] <Trevkor> * GLX
[04:07] <snuitje> hm, just to check if glx is explicitly disabled, try cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep glx
[04:07] <ott0> if [ -z "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS" ]; then         what does -z do?
[04:07] <Trevkor> snuitje:  Nothing happened.
[04:07] <snuitje> ok thats good
[04:08] <ott0> check for variable existence?

[04:09] <LinuxJunke> -BAZHANG ITS Ralink 2573 chipseT
[04:09] <HxC_> any solutiom
[04:09] <snuitje> Trevkor: sorry, was meant for ott0
[04:10] <Trevkor> snuitje:  Ah, sorry. It's all good.

[04:12] <hypyrbole> wyrd (calendar package) tells me to configure an editor in ~/.wyrdc. That file uses the $EDITOR variable. I have set that variable to nano, and echo $EDITOR returns nano. What am I doing wrong? Any help appreciated.
[04:12] <snuitje> where do those numbers come from?
[04:12] <Trevkor> snuitje: Are you talking to me?
[04:12] <corky`> Distro: Ubuntu 8.04; Problem: my nvidia drivers (nvidia-glx) are a bit ffed up, I can't play openGL games anymore, (doom3, quake4, armagetron advanced, etc.)... Output (of the games) all end in something like "BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
[04:13] <corky`> Sys_Error: Unable to initialize OpenGL" (without qoutes), So, Can anybody halp me?
[04:13] <corky`> Oh, Vid Card: NVidia GeForce Go 6100
[04:13] <sudobash> so anyone know how to force background to show?
[04:13] <snuitje> Trevkor: just thinking "out loud", are you running 8.10?
[04:13] <ott0> thanks snuitje
[04:13] <Trevkor> snuitje: Yeah. I used the init 2 to get to a low res GUI. I'm trying to get 8.10 to work. Worse case scenario I'll go back to 8.04, but I'd rather learn how to get this to work
[04:14] <snuitje> yw ott0, Trevkor: np, lemme unfold my eee
[04:15] <Trevkor> snuitje: I really appreciate it. I'm in the IT field, but I'm just getting started, so I'm trying to learn Linux as I go. I just had to get like 10 SunBlade150s running Solaris 10, and that was interesting, but this is a different type of problem.
[04:15] <snuitje> i have a box with a geforce 2 under my desk but it's running ubuntu-server atm -_-'

[04:16] <corky`> System > Preferences > Network proxy?
[04:16] <fired> SICK0: you mean like a socks proxy ?
[04:16] <corky`> SICK0,
[04:16] <SICK0> like a transparent proxy
[04:16] <SICK0> tha will bounce every piece of network traffic
[04:17] <fired> what application provides a transparent proxy ?
[04:17] <SICK0> every application that requests internet will be bounced
[04:17] <SICK0> i dont know
[04:17] <fired> SICK0: oh you just want to travre through one you're behind.
[04:18] <SICK0> huh?
[04:18] <SICK0> i just want my entire connection to bounce thats it

[04:20] <SICK0> umm >=| PROXY
[04:20] <snuitje> btw, m-a isn't needed anymore in 8.10, modules can be built automatically... come to think of it

[04:20] <SICK0> i tried that
[04:20] <snuitje> Trevkor: lsmod|grep nvidia
[04:20] <SICK0> but it only sets up my browser

[04:23] <Trevkor> snuitje: Alright.
[04:24] <LinuxJunke> its a broadcom
[04:24] <havoque> jameso1, could you be more specific?
[04:24] <snuitje> Trevkor: i'm wondering if x.org autodetects the right device driver
[04:24] <snuitje> maybe you could pastebin your xorg log and config file?
[04:24] <SICK0> i just tried it
[04:24] <SICK0> i went to network proxy and put for http proxy
[04:24] <Trevkor> snuitje: Will do. Want me to just use the paste.ubuntu thing, yes?
[04:24] <SICK0> a server
[04:24] <snuitje>  /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:24] <SICK0> and it still shows my ip

[04:26] <grendal_prime> ok sooo i got this laptop, its an inspiron 1100 right, now i had debian etch runnign on it flawlessly,  It has an odd video card in it where it robs memory from the system memory.  I could not got it working with anything past 7.10
[04:26] <jameso1> havoque: when i try to update with the package manager it says an error occoured please run apt-get to see whats wrong the error message was 'error: brokencount>0 this usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies
[04:26] <c0re_> i need help with http://paste.ubuntu.com/76239/
[04:26] <SICK0> c0re

[04:26] <Trevkor> snuitfe:  My log    http://paste.ubuntu.com/76238/
[04:26] <SICK0> dnt flood paste it in paste.ubuntu
[04:26] <SICK0> havoque i dont want to configure just the web browser to use a proxy
[04:26] <c0re_> SICK0, wtf? so you want me to flood here?
[04:26] <SICK0> i want my entire system to use it
[04:27] <grendal_prime> then all of the sudden even with 7.10 it decides..it just wants to boot into a black screen,  just...well for a couple of hours, then if i shut it off for some time...sometimes it comes up the way its supposed to.. so now the interesting part.    I found a howto on fixing this on this particular laptop, and i get the screen back up but none of the compiz stuff works..i can make changes to it...but none of them have any effect.
[04:28] <grendal_prime> Any ideas?
[04:28] <snuitje> Trevkor: looks like it uses "nv" from x.org instead of "nvidia"
[04:28] <SICK0> c0re
[04:28] <SICK0> your mothers a dfumbass
[04:28] <SICK0> u didnt even understand what i told u dimwit

[04:29] <c0re_> SICK0, YOU ARE A SICKEST gay
[04:29] <Trevkor> snuitje: I had heard of that being an issue, but in the conf file, Im not sure how to actually change it since its all "generic" stuff
[04:29] <snuitje> Trevkor: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf under "Section "Device"", add a line
[04:29] <Trevkor> Guys, please, just calm down.
[04:29] <bazhang> c0re_, stop
[04:29] <Trevkor> snuitje: Alright.
[04:29] <snuitje>     Driver "nvidia"

[04:30] <z0man> Curious is upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 fairly safe?
[04:30] <Trevkor> snuitje: Should I just log out, or restart?
[04:30] <LinuxJunke> ]nooooooooooooooooo
[04:30] <snuitje> no need to restart
[04:31] <snuitje> killing X should be enough -_-

[04:35] <Flannel> !ask | adrenergic
[04:35] <bdizzle> could I get some help getting GRUB back working again so that I can attempt to get my computer running again?
[04:35] <adrenergic> hi bdizzle
[04:35] <bdizzle> I need to work on it for my research
[04:36] <xorlim> how dangerous was the "disk not found" I got once when booting this system initially? I run 8.10 and if the problem persists and doesn't go away I might downgrade to 8.04.
[04:36] <[a1]> snuitje: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS292&q=%2Fset+cg_drawgibs+%220&btnG=Search give me lots of options am lost :(
[04:37] <jameso1> flannel: here ya go and also to anyone else whocan help http://paste.ubuntu.com/76241/
[04:37] <snuitje> http://rocketland.planetquake.gamespy.com/haqsau/wickedq3.shtml
[04:37] <Flannel> jameso1: Alright, Please close whatever other package managers (synaptic, aptitude, etc) and then do it again
[04:38] <snuitje> you can put it on the commandline as well: ./ioquake3 +set cg_drawgibs 0 +map whatever
[04:38] <adrenergic> i have installed 8.04LTS... my graphics-card & monitor supports 1024x768x32bits... & it worked in 6.06LTS / 6.10 even 7.04 but i don't know how-to get back it's resolution... it has got 800x600

[04:38] <Vinceman> hi, how do you change your menu-links?
[04:38] <bdizzle> grr
[04:38] <bdizzle> too many people in here, is there an alternate room?
[04:39] <ardchoille> Vinceman: the gnome menu? right click the menu and choose "edit menus"
[04:39] <nvti> bdizzle: for what?
[04:39] <bouma> i wonder how good solaris is these days
[04:39] <bazhang> Vinceman, which ones?
[04:39] <bouma> should i switch from linux to solaris just for zfs ?
[04:39] <bdizzle> nvti: I need to figure out how to get my computer to recover from an Error 25 on GRUB
[04:39] <jameso1> flannel : ok   http://paste.ubuntu.com/76245/
[04:39] <snuitje> [a1]: does glxgears run allright?
[04:39] <Vinceman> hey, was it always that simple?
[04:39] <Trevkor> snuitje: Didnt work, and now even if I init2, it goes to the black login screen
[04:40] <ardchoille> Vinceman: yep :)
[04:40] <Trevkor> Sorry for the delay, had to get an irc client on my laptop
[04:40] <bdizzle> right now I'm reburning an .iso disk and trying to boot through command line
[04:40] <snuitje> hm
[04:40] <bdizzle> the only think I can think of is to boot into windows from there, then run /fixmbr, then reinstall grub somehow
[04:40] <adrenergic> bdizzle u have that disk-not-found problem?
[04:40] <snuitje> before you init 2, you can get a good xorg.conf again by running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:40] <adrenergic> where did you installed the grub...?
[04:40] <nvti> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=117271&highlight=grub+error+25
[04:40] <snuitje> try dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg for a bit more questions
[04:41] <Trevkor> snuitje: Alright. Ill do that now, since Im on the lappy as well
[04:41] <bdizzle> adrenergic: I'm not sure what GRUB Error 25 is to begin with
[04:41] <nvti> that's for bdizzle
[04:41] <DavidCraft> since xorg doesnt store teh possible screen rezzes any more, where are they stored?
[04:41] <Flannel> jameso1: Please pastebin the output of apt-cache policy sun-java6-jre
[04:41] <[a1]> snuitje: yes blue red green gears ok.
[04:41] <bdizzle> nvti: this will work?
[04:42] <nvti> bdizzle: it explains how to re-install GRUB
[04:42] <bdizzle> ok
[04:42] <Trevkor> snuitje: I used the dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg
[04:42] <snuitje> [a1]: try downloading ioquake3 from the icculus site
[04:43] <JoeTheMac> Hey all!
[04:43] <[a1]> snuitje: URIc?
[04:43] <[a1]> snuitje: **URI?
[04:43] <snuitje> Trevkor: and if you run X (just running "X" should work, useful for testing, kill it off with ctrl+alt+bs) does it "work"?
[04:43] <bonhoffer> is there a way to suspend from the command line?
[04:43] <snuitje> icculus.org
[04:43] <[a1]> snuitje: alright.
[04:44] <JoeTheMac> Got a problem here. Have ubuntu installed on my Mac Mini, trying to get it working with my widescreen HD tv, using DVI -> HDMI. Works fine with my old monitor, but is always out of range whenever I try to use it with my HD TV.
[04:44] <jameso1> flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/76249/
[04:44] <Trevkor> snuitje: What do you mean?
[04:44] <m_> How I can chat msn
[04:44] <bonhoffer> my log-out button won't let me suspend -- want to suspend the computer from the command line . . .
[04:44] <Trevkor> snuitje:  Any time I've used Ctrl+alt+bcksp, all it does it flicker a bit, and stay black.
[04:45] <snuitje> after you've overwritten xorg.conf, try running 'X' from the commandline to see if it gives you the old-skool mesh
[04:45] <snuitje> hm that's odd
[04:45] <Trevkor> snuitje: Indeed it does. Mesh background, x cursor.
[04:45] <snuitje> ah
[04:45] <Flannel> jameso1: Alright.  Got it.  Your issue is that you've somehow disabled hardy-updates, which is where this version comes from.  You'll want to re-enable them.
[04:45] <snuitje> then X works
[04:45] <Trevkor> Running just X
[04:45] <Trevkor> Yes.
[04:45] <snuitje> although it may not have glx enabled
[04:45] <Trevkor> Granted, nothings coming up but the mesh and the cursor
[04:45] <jameso1> flannel : how?
[04:46] <snuitje> yes, killing it now should bring you back to where you came from
[04:46] <Trevkor> snuitje: I hit Ctrl+alt+Bksp, and nothing happens
[04:46] <snuitje> try ctrl+alt+f1
[04:46] <Flannel> jameso1: Um, you can do it through software preferences, or we can do it by editing your sources.list file (/etc/apt/sources.list).  The latter is the easiest through IRC (pastebin that file, I'll modify it, and you can copy/paste it back).  But the GUI method is easy for you to do (just check a button)
[04:46] <PowhatanBob> I've got a web server running that I can access fine by <IP_ADDRESS> but when I try and access it using WAN address, no luck.  I have forwarded port 80.  Any ideas?
[04:47] <Trevkor> snuitje: Takes me to the terminal, with what looks like the log file open
[04:47] <snuitje> powertool08: sudo netstat -plant
[04:47] <macjason0607> anyone know why menu.lst changes ?
[04:47] <snuitje> that's X.org dumping its messages
[04:47] <Trevkor> snuitje: Gives the (EE) Failed to initialized GLX (compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
[04:47] <JoeTheMac> Having problems with my HD TV. I have all the specifications for a resolution that I know works, but I'm not sure how to configure it. Ubuntu works fine with my old monitor, but always out of range with my HD widescreen.
[04:47] <nickrud> macjason0607, whenever a new kernel is installed, it automatically rebuilds menu.lst
[04:47] <jameso1> flannel : doesnt matter witchever you wanna do
[04:47] <snuitje> Trevkor: right, shows it's using nv
[04:48] <Trevkor> snuitje: Yeah, thats what I thought. Though Im unsure how to change it
[04:48] <snuitje> with ^C it'll die off (eventually)
[04:48] <nickrud> PowhatanBob, is your isp blocking 80?
[04:48] <Flannel> jameso1: If you open up software sources, you should see a checkbox for some sort of official "updates" repository
[04:48] <Trevkor> snuitje: Ok, Im back at the terminal
[04:48] <Trevkor> snuitje:  Well....at the prompt, you know.
[04:49] <snuitje> i know -_-
[04:49] <JoeTheMac> I've seen a few things about modifying the xorg.conf file, but, not sure where to start
[04:49] <Flannel> jameso1: if you can't find it, go ahead and pastebin your sources.list and we'll do it that way
[04:49] <bonhoffer> snuitje, any way to suspend from the terminal (command prompt)?
[04:49] <Trevkor> snuitje: I was just saying, sorry. ><
[04:49] <PowhatanBob> i wouldn't know how to check.  Initially I was running the server on port 8000 but that didn't work either so I tried 80.  How can I check if ISP is the problem?
[04:49] <snuitje> to be sure, run apt-cache show nvidia-glx-177|less and make sure your chipset is listed (run lspci to see)
[04:49] <snuitje> oh certainly
[04:49] <jameso1> flannel : i see it im checking them all  let me see what happens
[04:49] <macjason0607> nickrud if i have a backup of it will it over write teh backup or just the menu.lst
[04:49] <nickrud> PowhatanBob, you can use some really odd high number.
[04:50] <snuitje> just type "suspend"
[04:50] <Flannel> jameso1: you don't want -proposed, if that's in there.
[04:50] <bonhoffer> cool
[04:50] <nickrud> macjason0607, only the menu.lst. But the way menu.lst is written, you can have the automatic update include your preferences. What's getting overwritten?
[04:50] <bonhoffer>  suspend: cannot suspend a login shell
[04:50] <snuitje> uhm...
[04:50] <jameso1> flannel : when i checked em it said i had 2 broken packages and to use the broken package filter
[04:51] <bonhoffer> hold on
[04:51] <Trevkor> snuitje: It says it's supported
[04:51] <snuitje> pm-suspend
[04:51] <nickrud> PowhatanBob, it's really going to depend on your isp and how restrictive they are about incoming connections
[04:51] <DasEi> if I do a ps aux, the % memory given for an app are related to the systems (hardware) ram or the whole amount the syste uses atm ?
[04:51] <snuitje> failing that, sudo apt-get install pm-tools
[04:51] <snuitje> Trevkor: good
[04:51] <deat1> hey guys  how to install yahoo messenger in ubuntu wat shd i download

[04:54] <snuitje> Trevkor: uhm... panic?
[04:54] <nickrud> PowhatanBob, the last was for you, sorry powertool08

[05:03] <jameso1> flannel : ok give me a sec
[05:03] <snuitje> this is useful for anyone who has problems with nvidia drivers: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/common-problems-and-solutions-for-nvidia-restricted-drivers-after-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex-upgrade.html
[05:04] <kindofabuzz> i have a bunch of files that have .xml.html what's a command to delete the .html after all them?

[05:05] <kindofabuzz> Jordan_U, ahh! lol
[05:05] <jameso1> flannel : http://paste.ubuntu.com/76258/
[05:06] <Flannel> jameso1: right, do this: alt-f2 then type: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:06] <DasEi> kindofabuzz: cd to the dir , first copy : cp *.xml.htl    *.xml , look again, then rm *.xml.html
[05:06] <tilkster> can anyone help me make a simple command line macro
[05:06] <tilkster> i need something
[05:07] <tilkster> to run a program when it crashes
[05:07] <jameso1> flannel : pastebin that?
[05:07] <tilkster> this should be simple
[05:07] <kindofabuzz> DasEi, rename 's/\.html$//' *.html worked
[05:07] <FloodBot1> tilkster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:07] <tilkster> but i need helpzzpzpzpz
[05:07] <Flannel> jameso1: pastebin the contents of the file that opens up
[05:07] <DasEi> kindofabuzz: even simpler, I#m up for now, nice
[05:07] <jameso1> flannel : http://paste.ubuntu.com/76259/
[05:08] <Flannel> jameso1: Alright, delete the last line there (has "hardy-proposed" in it), then save the file, close the editor, and pastebin the output of this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:09] <onats> i need to set some environment variables. what is the file that i should put them in? .profile?
[05:10] <tilkster> anyone? lol i mean it hsould be easy but idk how to do macros
[05:10] <grendal_prime> there is no way to install 8.10 in text mode unless i download the alternate cd right?
[05:10] <xorlim> tilkster: can you explain the problem again?
[05:11] <[a1]> snuitje: wget http://ioquake3.org/files/ioquake3-1.34-rc3.run && chmod +x ioquake3-1.34-rc3.run && sh ioquake3-1.34-rc3.run did not work
[05:11] <tilkster> ok basically i have a program that times out after 2 hours
[05:11] <Flannel> grendal_prime: the desktop CD can't do it, yes.
[05:11] <tilkster> and i want to have a macro that auto runs it
[05:11] <tilkster> its basically
[05:11] <grendal_prime> mthrfkr
[05:11] <tilkster> ./run1
[05:11] <tilkster> then it runs for 2 hours
[05:11] <tilkster> then its done
[05:11] <tilkster> then when it crashes
[05:11] <jameso1> flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/76260/
[05:11] <FloodBot1> tilkster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:11] <xorlim> tilkster: let me think...
[05:11] <tilkster> i want ./run1
[05:11] <tilkster> to auto put int he command line and rerun..
[05:11] <Flannel> !enter | tilkster
[05:11] <jameso1> flannel: doesnt look like it helped
[05:11] <xorlim> tilkster: man at
[05:12] <grendal_prime> i got the inspiron 1100 that crashes on install but im pretty sure that it has something to do with compiz crashing the system.
[05:12] <xorlim> tilkster: man cron
[05:12] <Sniper606x> what does this mean... adduser: Only one or two names allowed.
[05:12] <tilkster> man cron?
[05:12] <Flannel> jameso1: It did.  Now run sudo apt-get -f install
[05:12] <tilkster> macro
[05:12] <grendal_prime> well crashing the x system anyway.  well i have a 7.10 alternate
[05:12] <grendal_prime> i could set it all up with that and upgrade.
[05:12] <xorlim> tilkster: cron would let you run programs at certain times on certain dates
[05:12] <grendal_prime> hmmm
[05:12] <xorlim> tilkster: at would do the same
[05:13] <Flannel> Sniper606x: it means your syntax is wrong, what command were you using, and what are you trying to accomplish?
[05:13] <xorlim> tilkster: you want to use command line commands probably
[05:13] <Sniper606x> i need to add another user account...
[05:13] <xorlim> tilkster: "macro" makes me think about the graphical environment
[05:13] <Sniper606x> how is the syntax wrong on every other system ive typed adduser and i get prompted for a name and so on
[05:13] <tilkster> yea
[05:13] <tilkster> only ocmmand line
[05:13] <[a1]> snuitje: you suggest earlyier <snuitje> [a1]: disable gibs how can i do that?
[05:14] <xorlim> tilkster: let me check "man at" and "man cron"
[05:14] <Flannel> Sniper606x: Try useradd instead.
[05:14] <tilkster> ok thanks
[05:14] <jameso1> falnnel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/76261/
[05:14] <xorlim> tilkster: do you know how to use the "man" manual page command?
[05:14] <tilkster> not really.
[05:15] <xorlim> tilkster: it reads a lot about at in "man at". I will try to give you an example.
[05:15] <jameso1> flannel: how can i send you a screenshot?? it came up in the terminal witha bluescreen
[05:16] <Flannel> jameso1: what does the blue screen say?
[05:16] <shadowwulf> i have an atheros card that was not detected by ubuntu 8.10 ... how do i install it ?
[05:16] <jameso1> falnnel: configuring sun java 6
[05:16] <Flannel> jameso1: yeah, answer whatever questions it has.
[05:16] <drakz> how do i see the users in the channel using xchat?
[05:16] <xorlim> tilkster: try using "batch ./run1"
[05:16] <jameso1> flannel: it has ok at the bottom but i can click
[05:16] <tilkster> ok?
[05:16] <Flannel> jameso1: use the keyboard to navigate
[05:17] <[a1]> hey folks i got problems trying tp play openarena in intrepid with a laptop w i945 driver, the display after 5 seconds come "bluiry", can anybody point me to the right direction?

[05:18] <Skky> Hey all when I "sudo apt-get install vmware-player" it says I have the most recent version but when I type "vmplayer" or "vmware-player" it says unrecognized command - how can I start vmplayer?
[05:18] <jmk2> ls | grep *.zip | tar xvf -C data $FILE ?
[05:18] <jameso1> falnnel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/76263/
[05:18] <[a1]> ./vmplayer ??
[05:18] <drakz> why can i not see users in xchat in a channel on the right hand side
[05:18] <tilkster> says batch accepts no parameters
[05:18] <tilkster> when i do that command
[05:19] <tilkster> xorlim
[05:19] <Skky> [a1] that doesn't work either :(
[05:19] <xorlim> tilkster: it said the same to me...
[05:19] <[a1]> Skky:  whereis vmplayer
[05:19] <tilkster> kkz
[05:20] <jameso1> flannel: hah i think you fixed it !!!!!
[05:20] <jameso1> thanx
[05:20] <Skky> i don't know, how can I find out? it just says it is already installed
[05:20] <bdizzle> okay, the issue is worse than I Thought
[05:20] <xorlim> tilkster: so you have to press enter after just using the command "at" or "batch" and then you type in the commands separated by carriage returns (enter presses) and ctrl+d in the end
[05:20] <bdizzle> burned a rescue disk
[05:20] <[a1]> Skky:  type that on terminal whereis vmplayer
[05:20] <bdizzle> it will load the CD, but claims I/O error, error reading boot CD, with the only option as being Reboot
[05:21] <tilkster> example?
[05:21] <tilkster> so like batch
[05:21] <Skky> [a1] it says: "vmplayer: "
[05:21] <Skky> that's all
[05:21] <tilkster> enter
[05:21] <tilkster> type command then enter again>??
[05:21] <xorlim> tilkster: batch<enter>
[05:21] <xorlim> tilkster: command<enter again><ctrl+d>
[05:21] <[a1]> Skky:  then its not installed, i guess yet
[05:21] <bdizzle> um, serious help please?
[05:21] <tilkster> ok i did that
[05:21] <Skky> [a1] then how come sudo apt-get install vmware-player says it is the most recent version?
[05:22] <xorlim> tilkster: hmm...
[05:22] <xorlim> tilkster: once I had it send text to tty's... now it doesn't show output.
[05:22] <bdizzle> *sigh*
[05:22] <tilkster> kk

[05:22] <bdizzle> who was helping me earlier, maybe they will know
[05:23] <Skky> how do I unpack a RPM?
[05:23] <bdizzle> Skky, use alien to convert it to .deb then go from there as usual
[05:23] <tilkster> okk
[05:23] <tilkster> i didnt run
[05:23] <drakz> Hello, can someone please help me out i can not see any users in xchat on the right hand side of my program.
[05:23] <bdizzle> I can't get into my system anymore. I booted it up as usual and it is giving me a GRUB Error 25. I tried to burn a Kubuntu 8.04 ISO and install it. The disk was loaded, then gave me an I/O error, saying it could not read the disk
[05:23] <Skky> sudo alien -i VM....rpm  ?
[05:24] <[a1]> Skky:  vmplayer ... try apt-cache search vmplayer ...????
[05:24] <xorlim> tilkster: hmm
[05:24] <Skky> [a1] no results
[05:24] <SkinnYPuPp_> bdizzle: google reinstalling grub
[05:25] <bdizzle> with what CD?
[05:25] <[a1]> Skky:  vmplayer there is no such package, yoyu mean mplayer?
[05:25] <bdizzle> SkinnYPuPp_: it won't run the Kubuntu CD
[05:26] <Skky> vmware-vmplayer
[05:26] <Skky> virtual machine
[05:26] <SkinnYPuPp_> ooh... you may need to burn a new cd then misunderstood
[05:26] <bdizzle> yeah, I tried
[05:26] <bdizzle> it won't read the CD, citing I/O errors
[05:26] <tilkster> yea not sure.
[05:27] <SkinnYPuPp_> i have noticed a few knock off cdrom drives do this trying to boot using linux but were fine with windows cd. Do you have another cdrom to try?
[05:28] <[a1]> Skky:  never heard off it
[05:29] <bdizzle> SkinnYPuPp_: yeah, I have a second CD drive, let me try that one
[05:30] <egosintrick> Skky if it is installed it should appear in your applications menu
[05:30] <bdizzle> its still giving me error of I/O error
[05:30] <egosintrick> Skyy try applications > System Tools
[05:31] <SkinnYPuPp_> Have you swapped any drives around? Reading a few threads on grub25 were from swapping drive from controller to controller or master slave backwards
[05:31] <jack|ass> Anyone have an issue in 64-bit Intrepid flash where full-screen video gets horrific tearing.  I'm using the nvidia driver.
[05:31] <bdizzle> hold on, something happened
[05:32] <bdizzle> I think I got it up, but I'm not sure how
[05:32] <bdizzle> something about eXpress recovery on the BIOS?
[05:32] <cached> how do i set it up so i can have sound from multiple sources at once?
[05:32] <bdizzle> alright, so how do i do a fix of GRUB and a full check of the system?
[05:33] <KNY> is there any easy way to rip out pulseaudio completely?
[05:33] <Jordan_U> jack|ass: Using compiz?
[05:34] <jack|ass> Jordan_U: I turned it off.  Didn't seem to make a difference.
[05:34] <SkinnYPuPp_> bdizzle: is it booting now?
[05:34] <bdizzle> I got it this one time somehow
[05:34] <jack|ass> Jordan_U: Some googling suggested that it might help, but... nope.
[05:34] <bdizzle> but I want to run a full check on GRUB and the system
[05:34] <bdizzle> any ideas on how?
[05:35] <bdizzle> I might use linux, but by no means know how to debug it
[05:35] <SkinnYPuPp_> if it boots grub is doing its job just fine
[05:35] <Vinceman> why is the standard browser of ubuntu firefox?
[05:35] <bdizzle> so why did I get the error 25 then?
[05:35] <n8tuser> Vinceman-> you can use w3m if you wish
[05:35] <Flannel> Vinceman: Its more popular than Epiphany
[05:35] <Vinceman> all apps have it as standard/default
[05:36] <SkinnYPuPp_> sounds like drie config was turned off or changed in you bios
[05:36] <SkinnYPuPp_> if you didn't swap any drive cables around
[05:36] <bdizzle> no, I didn't
[05:36] <bdizzle> I turned it off for the weekend, that's all
[05:37] <kaankanat> hello
[05:37] <bdizzle> is there a way to check to make sure GRUB is working properly so that I won't get that Error 25 again?
[05:37] <kaankanat> monkey
[05:37] <somethingclever> I am running ubuntu hardy on a compaq c301nr1 and i need help getting my wireless to work
[05:37]  * HackBuntu says Hi
[05:37] <HackBuntu> Ah... I've got a question
[05:38] <HackBuntu> How do I recreate the tmp directory, with the correct chmod?
[05:38] <HackBuntu> for 8.04
[05:38] <HackBuntu> on 8.10 it's 12 (or 380... I think 380)
[05:38] <Scunizi> Alright already! Trackerd has been taking 50% of my cpu for 3 solid days now.. what's up with that? any solutions?
[05:39] <somethingclever> It says that it is enabled, but not in use, how do I make the wireless be used? its a broadcom sta wifi
[05:39] <somethingclever> please help me
[05:39] <tux9778> hi where do u get the alternate cd for 8.10?
[05:39] <n8tuser> Scunizi-> you can turn of trackerd ?
[05:39] <somethingclever> tux9778, www.ubuntu.com
[05:39] <SkinnYPuPp_> bdizzle: no tellin but if it boots fine now its doing its job and the experess recovery in the bios is bios related and not grub related.
[05:39] <[a1]> HackBuntu: chmod -R 5777 /temp
[05:39] <tux9778> ok im there already looking
[05:39] <HackBuntu> What's the chmod command to change the tmp directory from 5-4096 to 16-380
[05:40] <Scunizi> n8tuser: using the right mouse click on the icon and telling it to stop does nothing.
[05:40] <bdizzle> ok
[05:40] <HackBuntu> Thanks al, I'll give it a go
[05:40] <SkinnYPuPp_> bdizzle: though it will cause grub problems if drive config gets altered in bios
[05:40] <bdizzle> joy
[05:40] <somethingclever> on the get page, check the check box for alternate disc, tux9778
[05:40] <HackBuntu> al: Am I right in thinking it's the same for the logs folder?

[05:42] <HackBuntu> with someone chinese
[05:42] <Jordan_U> somethingclever: Are you using 8.10 or 8.04 and if 8.10 did restricted manager offer to download firmware or was it simply enabling a driver?
[05:42] <HackBuntu> LOL
[05:42] <tux9778> ok the one i have somethingclever wont play videos in firefox
[05:42] <Scunizi> n8tuser: on reboot it starts up all over again.. is there a hidden directory/file in my ~ that might have been left from Hardy that would be interfearing?  I fresh installed but used my old ~ partition
[05:42] <[a1]> yes
[05:42] <HackBuntu> have you installed the proper codecs?
[05:42] <AndCat> im chinese
[05:42] <zesu> 晕死
[05:42] <AndCat> 呵呵
[05:42] <HackBuntu> nee how
[05:42] <HackBuntu> ma
[05:42] <somethingclever> Jordan_U, im using 8.04, got it to say it was enabled (FINALLY) but it says not in use, i want it to be in us
[05:43] <tux9778> i installed flashplayer 10 and nothing
[05:43] <zzznn> make love
[05:43] <Flannel> HackBuntu: Please keep it on topic and family friendly.
[05:43] <LoveGuru> im trying to install come programe and the programs want to know the location of " C header files that match your running kernel? i checked my "/usr/src/linux/include" for C header but didn't find anything there any suggestion ?
[05:43] <HackBuntu> lol, sorry
[05:43] <HackBuntu> couldn't help myself
[05:43] <somethingclever> and tux9778 try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted=extras
[05:43] <[a1]> HackBuntu: styke bit? yes
[05:43] <tux9778> ok ty bud
[05:43] <LoveGuru> *some
[05:43] <n8tuser> Scunizi-> it uses the config file at $HOME/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg
[05:43] <somethingclever> * tux9778 i mean sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[05:43] <HackBuntu> What's the chmod command to change the log directory to what it's meant to be?
[05:43] <tux9778> ty somethingclever
[05:44] <tux9778> ill try it when i switch back over
[05:44] <somethingclever> so Jordan_U any ideas?
[05:44] <jmk2> how do i unzip a file "file.zip" with tar ?
[05:44] <Scunizi> n8tuser: if I delete that will it auto recreate and maybe eliminate the problem
[05:44] <n8tuser> Scunizi-> you can save a copy and then delete to see how it goes?
[05:45] <HackBuntu> al: what does styke mean?
[05:45] <[a1]> HackBuntu: sticky byte
[05:45] <Scunizi> n8tuser: good idea..  weird that highlighting has stopped for me in xchat when you use my nick..
[05:45] <HackBuntu> al: ?
[05:45] <n8tuser> Scunizi-> and set EnableWatching=false
[05:45] <Jordan_U> somethingclever: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter, if it is already installed make sure that it has downloaded and extracted the firmware by doing "sudo dpkg-reconfigure b43-fwcutter"
[05:45] <Scunizi> n8tuser: k
[05:45] <jmk2> how do i unzip a file "file.zip" with tar ?
[05:46] <HackBuntu> al: what do you mean by sticky byte?
[05:46] <n8tuser> jmk2-> use  jar instead
[05:46] <LoveGuru> im trying to install ssome programe and the programs want to know the location of " C header files that match your running kernel? i checked my "/usr/src/linux/include" for C header but didn't find anything there any suggestion ?
[05:46] <HackBuntu> al: WOW THANKS A HEAP al! You just allowed me to boot into Ubuntu for the first time in (at least) 2 months!
[05:46] <n8tuser> jmk2-> jar xvf  file.zip  to extract
[05:46] <Jordan_U> somethingclever: You need to be connected to the internet for it to download the firmware ( it's not in the .deb file for legal reasons )
[05:47] <jmk2> n8tuser: problem is i'm using cygwin, no jar nor unzip in there.
[05:47] <[a1]> HackBuntu: stick byte means only the user of file can modify the 7xx ...soo 17xx its sticky byte
[05:47] <pinPoint> hey
[05:47] <pinPoint> Warning: the GD imaging library was not found on this server or it is an old version that does not support jpeg images
[05:47] <n8tuser> jmk2-> do you have java? thats a java tool
[05:47] <HackBuntu> al: WOW THANKS A HEAP al! You just allowed me to boot into Ubuntu for the first time in (at least) 2 months!
[05:47] <HackBuntu> al: WOW THANKS A HEAP al! You just allowed me to boot into Ubuntu for the first time in (at least) 2 months!
[05:47] <HackBuntu> al: WOW THANKS A HEAP al! You just allowed me to boot into Ubuntu for the first time in (at least) 2 months!
[05:47] <pinPoint> what does that mean? ^^
[05:47] <FloodBot1> HackBuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:47] <[a1]> lol
[05:48] <jmk2> n8tuser: java, yes sir.
[05:48] <LoveGuru> can someone Please help?
[05:48] <n8tuser> jmk2-> so try to use java's  jar tool
[05:48] <HackBuntu> What progam?
[05:48] <somethingclever> cool, Jordan_U i forgot to fetch and extract firmware during the install
[05:49] <Scunizi> Scunizi: highlight test
[05:49] <HackBuntu> LoveGuru: What program?
[05:49] <somethingclever> Jordan_U, TY!!!
[05:50] <Jordan_U> somethingclever: np :)
[05:50]  * HackBuntu has another question!
[05:51] <Flannel> !ask | HackBuntu
[05:51] <HackBuntu> To upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10, is there any middle step
[05:51] <Flannel> !upgrade | HackBuntu
[05:51] <HackBuntu> by that, if I put in a custom ubuntu 8.10 DVD, will it install
[05:51] <Flannel> HackBuntu: that page will walk you through it, but no you upgrade straight from 8.04 to 810
[05:51] <HackBuntu> without any hassles?
[05:52] <drh___> how do i add the repositories required to install epic / bitchx?
[05:52] <[a1]> drh___:  dont fuck
[05:52] <HackBuntu> Where's gparted in the GNOME 'menubar' again?
[05:52] <Flannel> drh___: bitchX isn't in the repositories because of security concerns.  epic is in universe, which is likely already enabled.
[05:52] <Flannel> [a1]: Please watch your language
[05:52] <LinuxJunke> linksys WUSB54GSC running 8.04 have the driver which is a Broadcom 4320 working but encryption on the wirless will not connect any help for this?
[05:52] <ubuntu_> kljkl
[05:53] <[a1]> Flannel: k
[05:53] <drh___> Flannel ; i just installed Ubuntu like an hour again and under the Synaptic Package Manager when i quick searc for irc all i find is xchat and irsii ; when i type epic nothing comes in.
[05:53] <HackBuntu> xchat is pretty good
[05:53] <sacamano> hey, so i go to college and my IP address got blacklisted. how can i change IPs? even if i plug my laptop in a different port in my room it still pulls the same IP, even though my roommate has a different one
[05:53] <somethingclever> Jordan_U, it says Broadcom STA Wireless driver , enabled, but OT in use
[05:53] <HackBuntu> but try sudo apt-get update
[05:53] <Flannel> drh___: Push the "reload" button to connect to the internet and download package lists
[05:54] <Anza> on hotmail, people on windows have the option to attach: file or photo. So, it sends it as an attached file or as a photo that does part of the message, on ubuntu when I open my hotmail account and try to send a photo it only gives me the option to attach it as a file. Is there anyway to fix it?
[05:54] <HackBuntu> (type this into terminal) sudo apt-get update
[05:54] <drh___> Flannel ; i did.
[05:54] <drakz> where do downloads go to by default on a fresh install of ubuntu?
[05:54] <HackBuntu> (type this into terminal) sudo apt-get install irc
[05:54] <Flannel> drh___: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[05:54] <Bangers> I have set my PATH in ~/.bash_proflile - however, when I "ssh user@server commandX" - it says commandX isnt found
[05:54] <HackBuntu> wiat
[05:54] <HackBuntu> wait
[05:54] <Bangers> and isnt parsing my .bash_profile file
[05:54] <Jordan_U> somethingclever: Try running "sudo modprobe b43"
[05:54] <Anza> I have tried with opera and firefox
[05:54] <HackBuntu> somewhere... lol
[05:54] <[a1]> HackBuntu: soo you only play?
[05:54] <drh___> 8.10
[05:54] <Jordan_U> drakz: Desktop
[05:55] <n8tuser> Bangers-> at remote end, is that commandX in the $PATH ?
[05:55] <juncong> OK
[05:55] <drh___> ok i got it now
[05:55] <somethingclever> Jordan_U, that did nothing
[05:55] <drh___> sorry :>
[05:55] <drakz> jordan_u: i downloaded limewire and i do not see it on the desktop
[05:55] <Flannel> drh___: Alright, the package name is "epic4".  You need universe enabled, and it should already be, but we can double check.  Either go to system > admin > software sources, or view your /etc/apt/sources.list file
[05:55] <HackBuntu> al: Nope, I'm just starting to learn!
[05:55] <Flannel> drh___: Alright, good to hear.
[05:55] <Jordan_U> Bangers: Try in .profile rather than .bash_profile
[05:55] <Bangers> n8tuser: err, why else would I be updating the PATH if i wasnt include the correct PATH of commandX
[05:56] <Jordan_U> drakz: Try gtk-gnutella
[05:56] <somethingclever> ok
[05:56] <HackBuntu> Where's gparted in the GNOME 'menubar'?
[05:56] <somethingclever> now the wifi light is on Jordan_U
[05:56] <n8tuser> Bangers-> you never mentioned which end you were changing
[05:56] <[a1]> HackBuntu: i ngot 2 weeks in ubuntu so far :)
[05:56] <somethingclever> SWEET!, Jordan_U thank you so much it sworking now no problem!
[05:56] <drh___> Flannel but how do i make sure universe is enabled
[05:56] <somethingclever> you rock thank you so much Jordan_U
[05:56] <Flannel> drh___: If you can see epic4 in the repos (in synaptic) then you have universe enabled.
[05:57] <jimmacdonald> Who does management of the mailing lists?
[05:57] <HackBuntu> al: as of 3am this morning, I have a working distribution of my own built on ubuntu 8.10
[05:57] <Flannel> jimmacdonald: Depends on the mailing list.
[05:57] <drakz> jordan_u i am new to linux whats gtk-gnutella?
[05:57] <Bangers> n8tuser: have a guess which end you THINK I would want to change *if* I was SSH from a client to a dest then complaining the PATH wasnt available in the *destination* server?
[05:57] <Jordan_U> somethingclever: np, it will probably work without manually running modprobe from now on, if not then add "b43" to /etc/modules
[05:57] <n8tuser> Bangers-> its up to you, am not here to guess
[05:58] <Flannel> jimmacdonald: If you mean running the servers, etc.  That'd be canonical
[05:58] <somethingclever> Jordan_U, should i add it to be safe?
[05:58] <n8tuser> !attitude | Bangers
[05:58] <jimmacdonald> Flannel: I am looking for who manages the server. I need to reset my admin password
[05:58] <drh___> ok flannel. thank you
[05:58] <Jordan_U> somethingclever: I wouldn't
[05:58] <[a1]> HackBuntu: intrepid? i download that 3 weeks ego ...i got 8.10 Kernel linux here now :) rocks
[05:58] <HackBuntu> yeah, interpid ibex
[05:59] <entwine> hey
[05:59] <[a1]> HackBuntu: yoi hacker?
[05:59] <entwine> somebody know if this card is supported by ubuntu Dell Wireless 1370 LAN Mini-PCI Card
[05:59] <HackBuntu> al: Yes and no
[06:00] <[a1]> HackBuntu: how is that?
[06:00] <HackBuntu> lol
[06:00] <HackBuntu> al: Well, I have hacked successfully in the past
[06:00] <HackBuntu> al: but I still have a HELL OF A LOT TO LEARN
[06:00] <drakz> I'm new to linux i tried installing limewire, the install froze. 1. how do i close the frozen install, 2. I can't find where the file downloaded to on a fresh copy of ubuntu 8.10 please help
[06:01] <HackBuntu> ^go to the menubar (at the top) go System->System Monitor
[06:01] <r00tlinux> xkill from terminal
[06:01] <[a1]> how many webs you had?
[06:01] <r00tlinux> then click
[06:01] <r00tlinux> how do i shot web?
[06:01] <Jordan_U> drakz: gtk-gnutella is a client that uses the gnutella network, which is the network limewire uses
[06:01] <HackBuntu> I think that for someone new to linux, a GUI would be the best place to start when something fails
[06:01] <Jordan_U> drakz: It's available in the repositories
[06:02] <LinuxJunke> i need help with broadcom 4320 WPA Encryption
[06:02] <harveyd1> having a nightmare with locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
[06:02] <entwine> :S
[06:02] <harveyd1> installed language-pack-en
[06:02] <r00tlinux> eh, it'll help them learn faster, the backgrounds of it....
 I think that for someone new to linux, a GUI would be the best place to start when something fails whats that mean?
[06:03] <r00tlinux> aimed at me saying for him to xkill from term.
[06:03] <HackBuntu> al, I was merely saying that my suggestion would be more helpful the r00tlinux
[06:03] <HackBuntu> 's
[06:03] <harveyd1> localconf doesnt seem to exist, dpkg-reconfigure files, export LC_ALL="en_GB" doesnt do anything
[06:03] <harveyd1> any ideas?
[06:03] <HackBuntu> al: for this particular user
[06:03] <Abe> hello all
[06:03] <HackBuntu> hi
[06:03] <Abe> i need help about this
[06:03] <Abe> Linux
[06:04] <Abe> could someone please help me out?
[06:04] <[a1]>  the r00tlinux
[06:04] <[a1]>  's?
[06:04] <HackBuntu> Abe
[06:04] <HackBuntu> What would you like to know?
[06:04] <Abe> like for example i downloaded the Ubuntu package
[06:04] <LinuxJunke> Hackbuntu can u help me out
[06:04] <HackBuntu> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
[06:05] <Abe> or CD
[06:05] <[a1]> whatever am only 14
[06:05] <LinuxJunke> need help with broadcom 4320 wireless WPA encryption
[06:05] <Abe> and how do i installed it?
[06:05] <HackBuntu> al, what does age have to do with anything?
[06:05] <Abe> there's like two versions, one is Desktop and the other Server
[06:05] <[a1]> don'nt know
[06:05] <HackBuntu> lol, tut tut alex
[06:06] <HackBuntu> Abe: You will probably want the Desktop one
[06:06] <Jordan_U> Abe: You need to burn the .iso file to a CD, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[06:06] <Abe> wait can i use like Alcohol?
[06:07] <HackBuntu> Abe: What you need is
[06:07] <r00tlinux> yeah.
[06:07] <Abe> to mount the ISO img file?
[06:07] <HackBuntu> two things
[06:07] <HackBuntu> 1. ImgBurn
[06:07] <HackBuntu> 2. A CD Burner
[06:07] <HackBuntu> (make that 3)
[06:07] <Abe> oh ok
[06:07] <FloodBot1> HackBuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:07] <HackBuntu> 3. a CD
[06:07] <HackBuntu> so Abe, do you understand now?
[06:08] <Abe> i guess
[06:08] <HackBuntu> (By suggesting ImgBurn I am guessing that you're using Windows. If you're using another OS, tell me!)
[06:08] <Abe> and how do i install?
[06:08] <Abe> like making a partition?
[06:08] <HackBuntu> Once you've booted into the LiveCD
[06:08] <Abe> yes i am using Windows Vista
[06:08] <HackBuntu> (just don't click anything and wait for the timeout)
[06:08] <HackBuntu> Double click install
[06:08] <HackBuntu> (an icon on the Desktop
[06:08] <HackBuntu> )
[06:08] <Abe> oh so is it just like when you reformat the pc?
[06:08] <HackBuntu> yeah
[06:09] <l3d> ok My qt 4 settings are not changing my kde apps colors/themes for those apps and in version 8.10 I dont see kcontrol in synaptic so how would I go about makeing everything use one theme everything but the kde apps are using the one I have now.
[06:09] <HackBuntu> except, if you like (and have enough hard-disk space) you can have both Windows Vista and Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex
[06:09] <Jordan_U> Abe: You can either make a new partition or you can install to a file on your windows partition
[06:09] <Abe> oh ok, so it is that simple i guess, so i just insert the cd and wait and then click the icon and install, but how do i make a new partition?
[06:09] <Abe> sorry i'm still n00b
[06:09] <Static--> no need for a partition, you can install directly to a windows folder
[06:10] <Jordan_U> Abe: The installer will walk you through resizing your windows partition to make room for Ubuntu ( if you choose to repartition )
[06:10] <HackBuntu> wish me luck everyone, I'm going to attempt to upgrade Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 (Super Ubuntu, modified once more by me to make HackBuntu)
[06:10] <nemo> Why is it I'm unable to get ubuntu to poke me about upgrading my mom's computer? I've tried update-manager -p and update-manager -c
[06:10] <HackBuntu> Abe: Be very careful in this process
[06:10] <HackBuntu> try typing this into terminal
[06:10] <Abe> ?
[06:10] <Jordan_U> !upgrade | nemo
[06:11] <HackBuntu> sudo apt-get update
[06:11] <HackBuntu> sudo apt-get upgrade
[06:11] <BusterHymen> is concurrent booting enabled by default in 8.10?
[06:11] <Abe> wait i don't understand why you said to be careful HackBuntu
 i dont understand hacking
[06:11] <drakz> argh im having a hard time finding where my downloads are going into on a fresh install of 8.10
[06:11] <HackBuntu> al, talk about this on private chat
[06:11] <HackBuntu> or on this channel
[06:11] <HackBuntu> #hackbuntu
[06:12] <Jordan_U> drakz: What does firefox's download manager say?
[06:12] <HackBuntu> try install the DownThemAll addon for firefox
[06:12] <HackBuntu> should get at least 5x better speeds
[06:12] <nemo> ah. normal releases vs LTS. gotcha
[06:12] <drakz> im not sure, i didnt look sorry im new to linux all confusing to me atm
[06:12] <drakz> ok ill try that
[06:13] <Jordan_U> drakz: Firefox is pretty much the same on Linux as it is on windows
[06:13] <HackBuntu> k
[06:13] <nemo> something about Ibex - the upgrade tool prompted me to try the new fast-user-switch-applet - I turned it down at the time, is there a way to rerun that?
[06:13] <harveyd1> holy hell this is doing my head in
[06:13] <nemo> including creating the guest account and whatnot?
[06:13] <dcider> nemo: check your software sources and under updates / release upgrade choose the normal release
[06:13] <HackBuntu> yeah, linux will do that
[06:13] <Jordan_U> drakz: Tools > Downloads to see the download manager
[06:13] <nemo> dcider: yeah, I'm straight on the difference now
[06:13] <[a1]> HackBuntu: how can do you private?
[06:14] <Jordan_U> nemo: Yes, let me find the command
[06:14] <harveyd1>  locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
[06:14] <nemo> Jordan_U: cool. thnx
[06:14] <harveyd1> installed ever -en package, done everthing ever google result has said
[06:14] <harveyd1> nothing
[06:14] <harveyd1> *every
[06:14] <nemo> harveyd1: my instinct on a "no such file or directory" is to run strace
[06:15] <Abe> hey anyone here programs in Java?
[06:15] <nemo> and see what file it didn't find :)
[06:15] <nemo> Abe: me
[06:15] <[a1]> HackBuntu ?
[06:15] <skenmon> hi
[06:15] <drakz> jordan_U what was the name of that addon u refered to me?
[06:15] <Abe> are you good at nemo?
[06:15] <guest_0> hey so i just did a clean install of intrepid... have a dual-head setup (1920x1200, and a 1600x1200). compiz fails to run, claiming that "comparing resolution 3520x1200 to maximum 3d texture size (2048) failed". if i force compiz on with SKIP_CHECKS, it starts, but all of the screen to the right of 1024 pixels is garbled. anything y'all can suggest?
[06:15] <nemo> Abe: lamenting the fact that debian/ubuntu seems to be the only distro out there that doesn't update eclipse?
[06:15] <Jordan_U> drakz: I didn't, I just suggested looking at firefox's built in download window
[06:15] <nemo> Abe: I 'spose. why?
[06:16] <Abe> no , it is just that i'm learning Java right now at school
[06:16] <Abe> ehhe,
[06:16] <acidicbase> why dont u just download eclispe
[06:16] <[a1]> HackBuntu ?
[06:16] <Abe> and i was curious
[06:16] <drakz> ok thought u said something about some type of addon to tell my downloads where to go manually
[06:16] <nemo> acidicbase: yes, and I could do that for every other piece of software on my system
[06:16] <nemo> acidicbase: but for some silly reason, I prefer to use package management to keep things organised
[06:17] <n8tuser> harveyd1-> what is the contents of your /etc/default/locale
[06:17] <acidicbase> the package manager doesn't use the newest
[06:17] <nemo> acidicbase: but, yeah, no choice now, I have to do that.  3.2 is so out of date it is becoming unusable
[06:17] <HackBuntu> al
[06:17] <nemo> acidicbase: no kidding?
[06:17] <HackBuntu> sorry, was helping entwine
[06:17] <HackBuntu> al, what IRC client are you using?
[06:17] <harveyd1> I dont have one
[06:17] <[a1]> HackBuntu: ok
[06:17] <Conexion> Hey there, I just did an 'update' on my nvidia card ... and now I seem to be stuck in 800x600... when I should be 1680 x 1050...  how might I go about fixing this?
[06:18] <Peddy1> Does anyone know of a dock that doesn't require a compositor or 3d graphics?
[06:18] <acidicbase> check your xorg file
[06:18] <[a1]> HackBuntu: xchat
[06:18] <HackBuntu> al: same
[06:18] <Jordan_U> nemo: "python /usr/share/gnome-panel/migrate-fusa-config.py"
[06:18] <drakz> jordan_U that gtk-gnutella prgram u suggested to me i found it the name of the file is  	gtk-gnutella-snapshot.tar.bz2 how do i install this exactly
[06:18] <nemo> Jordan_U: thanks again.

[06:19] <HackBuntu> al: is it working?
[06:19] <Peddy1> Jordan_U: Does the built-in Metacity compositor require 3D acceleration?
[06:19] <brut-> so has there been a fix to the ubuntu 8.10 "network connection manager" not remembering a static ip address?
[06:19] <HackBuntu> I tried sending you a message
[06:19] <[a1]> HackBuntu: yes
[06:19] <brut-> I found it in the bugreports, but it didn't seem like there was a bugfix yet
[06:20] <harveyd1> ran that strace, theres quite a lot of files it didnt fine, most of them in /usr/lib/locale and /usr/share/locale-langpack
[06:20] <[a1]> HackBuntu: msg?
[06:20] <Jordan_U> drakz: Installing programs in Ubuntu is not like in windows, you don't generally google for a program's page and download it, there is a central repository that will download and install applications for you which you use by going to Applications > Add / Remove or System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager

[06:21] <srx2002> I have Ubuntu installed on my pc. is it possible to install windows XP as well?
[06:21] <acidicbase> yes
[06:21] <mjuad> Is there a good resource for information about compiling Ubuntu from source....everything from the ground up...kernel, userland tools, etc.
[06:21] <acidicbase> although its much easier the other way around
[06:21] <guest_0> hey so i just did a clean install of ubuntu intrepid... have a dual-head setup (1920x1200, and a 1600x1200). compiz fails to run, claiming that "comparing resolution 3520x1200 to maximum 3d texture size (2048) failed". if i force compiz on with SKIP_CHECKS, it starts, but all of the screen to the right of 1024 pixels is garbled. video card is ati mobility radeon 9000 64mb. anything y'all can suggest?
[06:21] <Peddy1> Jordan_U: It doesn't. Thanks for your help
[06:21] <srx2002> acidbase: was that for me
[06:22] <drh___> grr when i try to install epic 5 it says the following packages have unment dependencies epic5: depends : libperl5.8 ... but i have libperl 5.10 installed allready
[06:22] <drakz> Jordan_U thx, sry bout all the dumbas* questions
[06:22] <[a1]> HackBuntu: what you going to do with me?
[06:22] <HackBuntu> al: join #hackbuntu
[06:22] <srx2002> how would I go about installing XP ?
[06:22] <shad0w0fsin> srx2002: you can, but you'll need to reinstall grub after installing xp
[06:22] <[a1]> HackBuntu: dont hsckme plis
[06:23] <Jordan_U> drakz: np :)
[06:23] <dethdol> what is the best video card for gaming in ubuntu?
[06:23] <harveyd1> n8tuser: any idea how to fix? I have literally done everything found on google
[06:24] <HackBuntu> al: I have no reason to
[06:24] <HackBuntu> just go on this channel
[06:24] <arooni-mobile> i appreantly have a 200kb tif file that efax claims is multi-page....HOWEVER i've opened it with gpicview, evince, and the gimp and all of them claim that i don't have a multi page doc.  how can i know for sure?
[06:24] <HackBuntu> #hackbuntu
[06:25] <srx2002> certain programs I need for XP that will not run in ubuntu
[06:25] <HackBuntu> install wine
[06:25] <HackBuntu> type this into terminal
[06:25] <HackBuntu> sudo apt-get install wine
[06:25] <ikonia> HackBuntu: stop that now
[06:25] <ikonia> HackBuntu: stop advertising your channel here
[06:25] <HackBuntu> and you'll be able to run XP programs on ubuntu
[06:25] <ikonia> HackBuntu: this channel is for ubuntu support only
[06:25] <ikonia> HackBuntu: do you understand
[06:25] <srx2002> what is wine?
[06:26] <minime283> If I add a user to an nis server the changes aren't reflected in the client
[06:26] <HackBuntu> WINE: Wine Is Not an Emulator
[06:26] <acp_> !wine | srx2002
[06:26] <HackBuntu> links the windows API to the linux API (or something)
[06:26] <mjuad> Is there a good resource for information about compiling Ubuntu from source....everything from the ground up...kernel, userland tools, etc.
[06:26] <mjuad> it emulates the windows api
[06:26] <drakz> jordan_U: i tried using thesynaptic package manager and got this msg
[06:26] <drakz> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[06:26] <mjuad> it's just not an emulator in the traditional sense
[06:26] <drakz> E: _cache->open() failed, please report
[06:27] <HackBuntu> Which allows you to run windows programs on linux
[06:27] <Jordan_U> harveyd1: Have you tried making /etc/default/locale yourself? ( it's there by default on my 8.10 box btw )
[06:27] <mjuad> as in emulators which emulate the actual instructions of the architecture they're emulating
[06:27] <srx2002> I can try it, but my programs that I wanna run arn't very popular
[06:27] <[a1]> ese pemdejillo juanquer se la  creyo, ok a\pongamos esta madre en los logs ...quien se apunta ..quizas sean de debiab ,,,;)
[06:27] <HackBuntu> ikonia, what's the command to initiate a private chat?
[06:27] <sauvin> I have just enabled virtual something or other in the BIOS on my laptop, but /proc/cpuinfo does not reflect that fact under hardy heron (flag I think I'm looking for is VT). What gives?
[06:28] <HackBuntu> srx2002, nothing to lose by trying
[06:28] <mjuad> it's /part <usertochatwith>
[06:28] <Jordan_U> drakz: run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" in a terminal ( the package manager was interrupted while installing / updating something, this will let it continue )
[06:28] <dethdol> y cant i install anything based on dotnet in wine/
[06:28] <HackBuntu> srx2002, basically the only windows programs that don't work well with WINE are games (which they're working on) and
[06:28] <HackBuntu> things that need drivers
[06:29] <HackBuntu> like wireless tools
[06:29] <mjuad> you have to install dotnet
[06:29] <mjuad> or check out mono
[06:29] <nighthawk08> how do I configure a network card in the system
[06:29] <mjuad> it's an OSS implementation of dotnet
[06:29] <nighthawk08> ?
[06:29] <srx2002> flashedit, cemu, n2 edit, jkeys....etc.....
[06:30] <drh___> grr when i try to install epic 5 it says the following packages have unment dependencies epic5: depends : libperl5.8 ... but i have libperl 5.10 installed allready
[06:30] <mavsman4457> I upgraded to 8.10 and it messed up my skype, i tried uninstalling pulse and reinstalling it and it wouldn't work, I also tried changing the sound devices on skype and it didn't do anything either, what can I do?
[06:30] <mjuad> reinstall skype?
[06:31] <drh___> Does ubuntu have a console font that draws proper ascii art? like for use with epic?
[06:31] <mjuad> did you try that yet?
[06:31] <darkbishop> hai all.i keep getting "unable to resolve host me-irs" everytime i issue a sudo.think i read it somewhere how to solve it before but cant find it back.any help
[06:31] <Jordan_U> drh___: If you are sure that it will run with a newer version try forcing ignoring dependency problems
[06:31] <mjuad> drh___, there is a font i don't know what it's called...the only thing i use those fonts for is .nfo files
[06:31] <mjuad> and there is a program called nfoviewer i use for that
[06:31] <drh___> Jordan_U:  how do i do that?
[06:31] <drh___> mjuad hmm , could you guess?
[06:31] <mjuad> well
[06:32] <mjuad> it's not a font really...it's an encoding
[06:32] <drh___> i just want ascii graphics to show up properly in console.,., like lice themes etc...
[06:32] <drh___> those broken lines are ugly :>
[06:32] <mjuad> yeah they are...
[06:32] <guest_0> drh___: so you basically need a fixed-width font?
[06:32] <mjuad> monospace has the proper characters in it
[06:32] <mjuad> you'd just need to change your encoding
[06:32] <HackBuntu> al are you still around
[06:32] <dethdol> ne1 know how to fix the font in wine when play wow?
[06:33] <drh___> i have no idea ; i remember years ago the font default8x16 worked with redhat..
[06:33] <srx2002> is there anyway I can get my ubuntu desktop to display more clear and crisp text??
[06:33] <harveyd1> I fixed it
[06:33] <mjuad> guest_0, no, he's talking about making the characters up in the 200+ ascii range show up as the little boxes
[06:33] <drh___> but it may be different by now
[06:33] <harveyd1> logged out then in :|
[06:33] <mjuad> instead of the broken lines
[06:33] <SpAc> I about to set up my server with LVM but wanted to know if I have to keep /boot outside the LVM partition?
[06:33] <mjuad> or accented characters
[06:33] <Flannel> SpAc: yeah.  Well, you don't have to.  But its not fun.    And you can technically do the RAMDISK thing and stuff, but I don't see how itd be worth it
[06:34] <mjuad> just a little more technical
[06:34] <drh___> this is frustrating im gonna go grab a drink
[06:34] <drh___> brb.
[06:35] <mjuad> this channel moves so fast with so many people...
[06:35] <mjuad> Is there a good resource for information about compiling Ubuntu from source....everything from the ground up...kernel, userland tools, etc.
[06:35] <HackBuntu> for anyone that wants non ubuntu support, or custom distro of ubuntu support, please have a look at #hackbuntu
[06:35] <SpAc> Flannel: ok. I found info that said you should keep it separate, but nothing telling me why.
[06:35] <Flannel> mjuad: Why on earth would you want to do that?
[06:36] <mjuad> why not?
[06:36] <Flannel> HackBuntu: Please don't advertise non-officia channels here.
[06:36] <mjuad> performance optimization is one reason
[06:36] <mjuad> not having all of the crap that comes on the desktop installation but still having the support & compatibility that is implied when running ubuntu
[06:37] <SpAc> I installed the 64-bit version of Ubuntu a while back, but it wasn't was too much trouble at the time. Is it becoming more common place now?
[06:37] <guest_0> mjuad: ah i see ok.... in that case, i don't know of a good font. :)
[06:37] <drh___> back.
[06:37] <Flannel> mjuad: You won't see a big increase.  And by compiling it yourself, you wont get the support.  You should look for a distro that's designed to be compiled if you're interested in something like that.
[06:37] <root__> a
[06:37] <mjuad> i messed with gentoo today
[06:37] <mjuad> and considering that i write ajax/php web apps for a living
[06:37] <mjuad> only having support for firefox <IP_ADDRESS> doesn't cut it
[06:37] <Flannel> SpAc: flash is really the last holdout for non-64 (and perhaps some wine things), and adobe is working on that.
[06:37] <drh___> mjuad:  do you have any suggestions on how to google search for that font?
[06:38] <SpAc> flannel: thanks again :)
[06:38] <BillHarris> Does the `on` command come in some Ubuntu package (as in `on thatmachine command`)?
[06:38] <guest_0> mjuad: don't know about compiling ubuntu from scratch... but there is a general "linux from scratch" which is reputed to be a really good learning experience, if you are up for the time expenditure.
[06:38] <guest_0> mjuad: look that up on the web if you are curious.
[06:38] <mjuad> yes i did it already with ubuntu
[06:38] <mjuad> err
[06:38] <mjuad> gentoo
[06:38] <mjuad> and i've compiled many bsd systems from scratch
[06:39] <SpAc> finally, the minimal CD image is no better than the server CD when it comes to installing a 'bare essentials' server is it?
[06:39] <jasonbc> sure you have
[06:39] <Flannel> SpAc: minimal CD is an alternate/server CD with no packages on it.  It instead gets the packages from the internet.
[06:39] <SpAc> Flannel: will it still install with the server kernel?
[06:40] <mjuad> is there a problem, jasonbc ?
[06:40] <Flannel> SpAc: Depends on whether you choose server or not.  You can also always just switch later
[06:41] <jasonbc> what are you , some kind of unix genious..?
[06:41] <SpAc> Flannel: Would that be during bootup or in the installer. I had a quick look at the only boot option that seemed relevant was 'cli'. I didn't venture too far in to the installer
[06:41] <mjuad> no
[06:41] <mjuad> compiling kernels & tools isn't rocket science
[06:41] <mjuad> but having some sort of reference for the distribution in question is generally a good idea
[06:42] <RAdams> How can I exclude a particular app from the current GTK theme? I want it to use the defaults set in the program...
[06:42] <jasonbc> it's not everyday that you here tell of someone claiming to have compiled whole systems , thats all
[06:42] <Flannel> SpAc: itd be in ... mmm, I haven't looked at the minimal CD in a while.  I believe it'd be in the installer.  But again, if you can't find it, you cna always just install the server kernel later.
[06:42] <Slart> jasonbc: eh.. what's with the attitude?.. there's really no need for it
[06:42] <mjuad> jason
[06:42] <mjuad> it's compiling
[06:42] <mjuad> you edit a fucking makefile
[06:42] <FloodBot1> mjuad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:42] <Flannel> mjuad: Please watch your language
[06:43] <jasonbc> nevermind then
[06:43] <mjuad> i didn't say i was writing a system from scratch or creating a distribution, compiling kernels & tools is a fairly common practice if you've ever used anything but desktop linux
[06:43] <Flannel> !offtopic | mjuad
[06:43] <SpAc> Flannel: ok. it would be handy because I'm installing remotely.
[06:43] <guest_0> mjuad: i never got the urge to compile a whole distro from scratch (at least not a strong enough urge to actually do it). but i have compiled quite a few things back in my day...
[06:44] <jasonbc> @mjuad "and i've compiled many bsd systems from scratch"
[06:44] <HackBuntu> fun?
[06:44] <HackBuntu> .clear
[06:44] <mjuad> COMPILED
[06:44] <Slart> mjuad: I haven't seen that kind of technical information for ubuntu.. I guess it should be somewhere.. at least at canonical.. but perhaps they haven't made it available in a nice wiki-like format
[06:45] <mjuad> you are dense
[06:45] <brut-> does anyone have any information regarding the "connection manager" static IP bug?
[06:45] <RAdams> !manners | mjuad
[06:45] <mjuad> wow
[06:45] <jasonbc> you said that up there dude
[06:45] <Flannel> Guys, please take it elsewhere.  This channel is for support.
[06:45] <brut-> my only solution is go work around the glitch with a static reservation in my dhcp server
[06:45] <mjuad> yes, i did...and?
[06:45] <mjuad> Flannel, i was asking for support
[06:46] <jasonbc> just pointing that out
[06:46] <mjuad> and mr. smart guy here decided to pick a fight
[06:46] <Slart> jasonbc: why does this seem strange to you? take a look at gentoo.. or "linux from scratch"... it's not like he's claiming to be able to fly or something
[06:46] <mjuad> Slart, thank you
[06:46] <jasonbc> uh huh
[06:46] <Flannel> mjuad: Don't compile Ubuntu from scratch.  There's better distros out there to accomplish what you're looking to do.
[06:47] <RAdams> How can I exclude a particular app from the current GTK theme? I want it to use the defaults set in the program...
[06:47] <mjuad> Can you point me in the direction of one which actually has support for recent versions of common software?
[06:47] <altay> Does anyone know how to get apmsleep to work in Ubuntu?
[06:47] <Flannel> mjuad: I believe arch is popular right now.
[06:47] <mjuad> I'll check it out
[06:47] <kddi> hi, how can i project my acer extensa 4620 laptop to projector?
[06:47] <mjuad> Gentoo was a disappointment
[06:47] <guest_0> mjuad: well, gentoo is pretty current. arch linux is also presumably very current.
[06:47] <brut-> I'm guessing not... >8(
[06:48] <Slart> mjuad: nah.. I would say gentoo.. but I haven't tried it myself.. and I don't know how to fix the firefox problem.. sorry
[06:48] <mjuad> well it's just masked
[06:48] <mjuad> you can unmask it and compile it just fine
[06:48] <mjuad> but the fact that it's masked is just unimpressive to me
[06:48] <jasonbc> ubuntu 8.10 is a disappointment
[06:48] <RAdams> mjuad: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[06:48] <mjuad> considering that it's probably the single most common piece of software that someone looking to use a linux machine as a workstation would install
[06:48] <RAdams> jasonbc: make it better then.
[06:48] <brut-> I'm thinking so as well, with such a horrid glitch with network connectivity
[06:48] <guest_0> mjuad: what's the firefox problem?
[06:49] <Slart> jasonbc: do you have some kind of ubuntu question? if not, there are better channels for rants.. #ubuntu-offtopic is one
[06:49] <Ohmu> How do I find out which version of Ubuntu I have?  For most applications it is easy to find this.  I suggest that Ubuntu provides this information in system -> about Ubuntu.   Or even create an entry System -> about my system, which would contain hardware details, Ubuntu & Linux kernel version numbers and network connectivities...
[06:49] <guest_0> jasonbc: in what sense: what doesn't work for you? it seems to work just fine for me... (though admittedly, i did just install it today... :) )
[06:49] <mjuad> RAdams, thank you
[06:49] <jasonbc> yes i do , why the h*ll do i have to keep on restarting this thing
[06:49] <Flannel> Ohmu: lsb_release -a
[06:50] <RAdams> !doesntwork | jasonbc
[06:50] <RAdams> mjuad: no problem
[06:50] <jasonbc> and why does my ram get all used up
[06:50] <SpAc> Flannel: Does the guided LVM install separate /boot outside of the LVM partition?
[06:50] <navetz> is there a good p2p client in the repos? I am looking to download soem songs.
[06:50] <RAdams> navetz: frostwire
[06:50] <Naddiseo> jasonbc, it's probably cached, not used.
[06:50] <kddi> hi, how can i project my acer extensa 4620 laptop screen to projector?
[06:50] <Slart> jasonbc: you seem to have things to unlearn.. linux is not windows
[06:50] <navetz> RAdams: its not in the repos anymore :( I use to use it
[06:50] <Flannel> SpAc: I believe it does.  But I haven't installed in forever, so it may have changed/my memory could be bad/etc
[06:51] <jasonbc> i know that smarty pants
[06:51] <Slart> jasonbc: unused memory is wasted memory.. linux uses all the memory it can find for buffers/cache
[06:51] <Andmat09> Is there anyone here that is familiar with setting up Dual Monitors (with Desktop effects) in Ubuntu 8.10.........WITH ATI CARD?
[06:51] <brut-_> thats cute, xchat takes you to #ubuntu on a fresh install... :)
[06:51] <RAdams> !twinview | andmat09
[06:51] <RAdams> bah, wrong name
[06:51] <RAdams> what's ati using?
[06:52] <RAdams> there's a good wiki article on it
[06:52] <guest_0> Andmat09: i am, as of today. :) though i have failed to set up the desktop effects, because my gfx card is not powerful enough to do compiz on my combined 3520x1200 resolution. tell me what you want to know.
[06:52] <jasonbc> Slart - so to the point that the system becomes so slow that it is un-useable...?
[06:52] <RAdams> let me go look, Andmat09
[06:52] <altay> Anyone here know how to get apmsleep to work in Ubuntu?
[06:52] <theplastikjesus> ok, i cant play.mp3s with a fresh install of linux?
[06:52] <Flannel> !dualhead | Andmat09, RAdams
[06:52] <mjuad> theplastikjesus, there are licensing issues with the mp3 format
[06:52] <srx2002> Is there a way I can do a complete backup of my system, I have everything just the way I like it and I'd like to make a " recovery dvd " or my entire system in the rare event that I get a system crash. All i would have to do is to insert that dvd/cd and push my system would be recovered to the state it's at right now?
[06:52] <guest_0> theplastikjesus: look up the medibuntu repository. you can get the codecs and stuff.
[06:52] <mjuad> you'll have to find the codec & install it
[06:52] <RAdams> yes, that's it
[06:53] <Slart> jasonbc: that's probably something else.. how much memory do you have?
[06:53] <Ohmu> How do I install a real-time kernel?  I'm using hardy.
[06:53] <RAdams> theplastikjesus: if you try to play one in rhythmbox, it ought to offer a codec for install
[06:53] <Flannel> Ohmu: why do you want to use the realtime kernel?
[06:53] <jasonbc> Slart - 512 mb's
[06:53] <kddi> hi, how can i project my acer extensa 4620 laptop screen onto the projector?
[06:53] <visof> hello
[06:53] <theplastikjesus> RAdams: yeh it did then nothing happened
[06:54] <RAdams> theplastikjesus: did the codec install successfully? did you restart rhythmbox afterwards?
[06:54] <visof> the sound is stopped suddenly and i don't know what should i do ?
[06:54] <Slart> jasonbc: shouldn't really be a problem as long as you don't run several big memory hungry apps at the same time..
[06:54] <guest_0> kddi: what version of ubuntu are you running? it should be pretty easy to do with intrepid, with the fancy gui screen setup panel.
[06:54] <srx2002> anyone?
[06:54] <kddi> hardy
[06:54] <theplastikjesus> radams: no ill try that
[06:54] <jasonbc> @ Slart - wich i don't
[06:54] <Slart> jasonbc: you might want to try out xubuntu just to see if it feels any snappier... it's supposed to be a little bit leaner
[06:55] <RAdams> How can I exclude a particular app from the current GTK theme? I want it to use the defaults set in the program...
[06:55] <kddi> guest_0: 8.04
[06:55] <Naddiseo> srx2002, I believe there are a few in the repos
[06:55] <Ohmu> Flannel, http://appdb.winehq.org/commentview.php?iAppId=2077&iVersionId=13563&iThreadId=42727
[06:55] <altay> Anyone know how to make apmsleep work in 8.10?
[06:55] <theplastikjesus> RAdams: did not work
[06:55] <jasonbc> @ Slart - i've tried xubuntu but couldn't get by with it , it just wouldn't boot again after being restarted
[06:55] <theplastikjesus> and im not finding anything on medibuntu
[06:55] <Flannel> Ohmu: Alright.  install linux-rt
[06:56] <visof> is there any help ?
[06:56] <theplastikjesus> is there some kind of mp3 codec i can install in theadd/remove deal under applications?
[06:56] <RAdams> theplastikjesus: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[06:56] <Slart> jasonbc: you can also try shutting off the file indexer.. shut down unneeded services.. ie don't run cups if you don't print etc
[06:56] <jasonbc> @ Slart - how do you shut off the file indexer...?
[06:57] <theplastikjesus> RAadams: I am new to linux, i need to do that in terminal?
[06:57] <guest_0> kddi: well, afaik, hardy also has the fancy gui screen setup panel. in system -> preferences -> screen resolution
[06:57] <Slart> jasonbc: that's about all the advice I have.. you'll have to ask the channel for further help since I have to run now
[06:57] <RAdams> theplastikjesus: that, or synaptic. you can search that package in synaptic, or sudo aptitude install package-name
[06:57] <jasonbc> thanks
[06:57] <RAdams> in terminal
[06:58] <theplastikjesus> RAdams ok ill give that a try
[06:58] <altay> Does anyone here know anything about apmsleep?
[06:59] <SpAc> Flannel: I take it the swap partition can be inside the LVM?
[06:59] <visof> altay %man apmsleep
[06:59] <RAdams> altay: is this your issue? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227404
[06:59] <altay> I know what apmsleep does
[06:59] <Flannel> SpAc: It can be, yes
[06:59] <RAdams> visof: that's extremely unhelpful
[06:59] <altay> I just need to recompile my kernel with support for it
[07:00] <altay> and I don't know which options I need to enable
[07:00] <gbear14275> anyone around that knows how to reset apache?
[07:00] <SpAc> Flannel: is the rule still twice the ram size?
[07:01] <Flannel> SpAc: For some values of RAM size.  How much do you have?
[07:01] <visof> is there anyone can help me ?
[07:01] <theplastikjesus> RAdams: TY got it workin now
[07:01] <gbear14275> SpAc, more depends on your needs... I went time and a half because I had 4 gigs already
[07:01] <RAdams> theplastikjesus: good deal :)

[07:01] <theplastikjesus> =)
[07:01] <theplastikjesus> i like music lol
[07:01] <jeb1> is there a way to install the AIM client on Ubuntu 8.10?
[07:02] <SpAc> Flannel: ok, I have 4 gigs already too and I thought an 8 gig swap might be a bit excessive... although it is a server
[07:02] <RAdams> jeb1: pidgin
[07:02] <RAdams> jeb1: the official aim client does not support linux
[07:02] <ardchoille> jeb1: pidgin does aim nicely
[07:02] <jeb1> i saw one on the AIM website, older than all heck, but it's on there
[07:02] <Flannel> SpAc: Yeah.  That's excessive.  Unless you think you'll need the 8G.  Since you wont be hibernating, you could get by with less too.  (To hibernate, you need your RAM size in swap at least)
[07:02] <jeb1> and i can't figure out how to install it
[07:03] <ardchoille> jeb1: is there a reason you don't want to use pidgin?
[07:03] <siebo> I'm trying to install a dedicated python for my buildout on ubuntu 8.10, but I get the following error
[07:03] <siebo> checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
[07:03] <siebo> I installed everything I could think dependency wise:
[07:04] <siebo> build-essentials, gcc, g++, python2.4-dev
[07:04] <jasonbc> thank you dcider
[07:04] <siebo> this is the output from my config.log http://pastie.org/322385
[07:04] <Flannel> siebo: it's build-essential,
[07:04] <RAdams> jeb1: AIM for linux is no longer maintained. Try Pidgin, you'll come to like it, I think
[07:04] <jasonbc> it's the same thing anyway
[07:05] <altay> RAdams: Yes, that's my issue, but that solution won't work. I never had a compatible kernel. I'd like to recompile my kernel with support for APM and /dev/rtc/ , and I've gotten to the point where I choose the kernel options, but I don't know where I can select APM and /dev/rtc support
[07:05] <jeb1> is there any way to do file transfers, etc. with AIM on Ubuntu?
[07:05] <RAdams> altay: hmm. This may actually be a good question for #linux
[07:05] <RAdams> jeb1: Pidgin. Pidgin Pidgin Pidgin
[07:05] <jeb1> you cannot do a file transfer on Pidgin
[07:05] <brut-> does anyone have any input at all regarding the ubuntu 8.10 network manager not remembering static settings...? I've seen the bug report, but that didn't contain any useful information for fixing it...
[07:06] <jeb1> AFAIK
[07:06] <altay> RAdams: I'm new to IRC. How do I got to #linux?
[07:06] <jasonbc> yes you can
[07:06] <jeb1> how?
[07:06] <RAdams> altay: /j #linux
[07:06] <siebo> why can't it can't see my g++ for example
[07:06] <srx2002> Is there a way I can do a complete backup of my system, I have everything just the way I like it and I'd like to make a " recovery dvd " or my entire system in the rare event that I get a system crash. All i would have to do is to insert that dvd/cd and push my system would be recovered to the state it's at right now?
[07:06] <altay> RAdams: thanks
[07:06] <jeb1> lol...nvm
[07:06] <jasonbc> long explanation
[07:06] <jeb1> stuff is buried in the menus :-P
[07:06] <RAdams> !backup | srx2002
[07:07] <RAdams> jeb1: create an aim account, start a chat with a buddy, Conversation menu --> Send File
[07:08] <jeb1> is there a way to start a group chat on Pidgin?
[07:08] <RAdams> jeb1: From the Buddy List, Buddies --> Join a Chat
[07:09] <jeb1> does the exchange matter?
[07:09] <gbear14275> my server is crawling on ssh
[07:09] <gbear14275> whats the best way to figure out whats eating up the cpu
[07:09] <werdnum> Hello :)
[07:10] <dcider> system monitor
[07:10] <gbear14275> how do i open that up in an ssh session... I'm a beginner by far :-/
[07:10] <guest_0> gbear14275: top
[07:10] <gbear14275> there it is... thank you guest_0
[07:11] <DrUnKnMuNkY> hey everyone. i can't connect to any encrypted wireless networks anymore in 8.10. Anyone else had this problem?
[07:11] <guest_0> gbear14275: enjoy. :) you might also like "htop" (it's in the repos). more features, just as console-friendly.
[07:11] <werdnum> My kate crashes every time I try to click 'open'. It appears to die with a SIGSEGV (segmentation fault). I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 (with GDM), and Kate from KDE 4.1.2.
[07:11] <RAdams> jeb1: yes, but leave it at default
[07:11] <jeb1> ok
[07:12] <RAdams> alright, sleeptime. jeb1, there's a pidgin support channel as well: #pidgin. Night all
[07:13] <jeb1> is there an applet like MMC in Ubuntu?
[07:14] <koshari> srx2002 use partimage
[07:14] <gbear14275> guest_0 thanks for the tip but this is production and my buddy who knows what he is doing would not like me messing around with new installs
[07:14] <gbear14275> top says nothing is running yet ssh is crawling
[07:14] <SeeWhy>  echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches >>> what does this conmmand do ?
[07:15] <gbear14275> anyone have any ideas on why that might happen

[07:26] <ikonia> Guest22181: then ask th question
[07:26] <Guest22181> i am using ubuntu and im trying to connect to my internet using the wireless card now when i set things up it goes internet is disconnected
[07:27] <ikonia> Guest22181:  you can't have the wirless and wired lan on the same network at the same time
[07:27] <ikonia> (well not without a lot of hassle)
[07:28] <Guest22181> um but i wasnt using my cord
[07:28] <LoveGuru> Hi, Need Some help with squid/apache i m running website at my linux box now im trying to open my website but its *not working now gave me error in return can someoone help with " http://paste.ubuntu.com/76266/ " thanks.
[07:28] <Guest22181> i am now because i cant connect any other way
[07:28] <Guest22181> !wireless
[07:28] <gbear14275> guest_0 mine is great
[07:28] <Guest22181> dont worry....
[07:28] <ikonia> Guest22181: I'm not sure what your saying, when you enable your wirless card, the router has connection problems, or do you mean just the machine with the wirless card
[07:29] <gbear14275> guest_0, the other server we have with the same host seems ok too
[07:29] <gbear14275> but this one is really slow
[07:29] <mola_mola> hi all
[07:29] <paul68> how do I export the display from my server to my laptop?
[07:30] <Jordan_U> paul68: ssh -X
[07:30] <Andmat09> Okay here is my issue.......
[07:30] <Andmat09> I have dual monitors, both are identical, 1440x900. I can get 2880x900 resolution no prolbem but with that resolution i am unable to enable visual effects to Normal, If i go to enable it it askes to enable a "the ATI/AMD driver, which will Kill my dual monitors after a restart and they will be mirrored back to 1440x900, any ideas on how to get 2880x900 WITH Visual Effects enabled??
[07:30] <Andmat09> I can get the Desktop Visual Effects to work with a resolution of 1400x1800
[07:30] <Andmat09> (monitors stacked)
[07:31] <Andmat09> byt not 2880x900
[07:31] <Andmat09> any ideas?
[07:31] <ikonia> Andmat09: the dual headed config with the closed source ati drivers is limited
[07:31] <paul68> Jordan_U: ssh -X username@myip my port is that correct?
[07:31] <Boohbah> i got dual 12-year-old video cards
[07:31] <ikonia> Andmat09: I suggest you move to #ati and ask for the correct driver  / xorg options as I don't even beliebve the ati dual headed config will support compiz style effects
[07:32] <acidicbase> ssh -Y or -X will work
[07:32] <Jordan_U> Andmat09: Probably that the maximum texture size of your GPU is somewhere between 1800 and 2880
[07:32] <paul68> Jordan_U: does this also work while rebooting or is that to much to ask
[07:32] <paul68> Jordan_U: rebooting the server that is
[07:33] <Jordan_U> paul68: What do you mean "while rebooting", I think I may have misunderstood your question, I thought you were talking about the $DISPLAY environment variable
[07:33] <D3LTA> can someone give me some good hint or help installing Ffmpeg Ffmpeg Php Mplayer Mencoder Flv2tool Lame Mp3 Encoder
[07:33] <Andmat09> Ya, i think im screwed, I guess i just may have to upgrade to Nvida...
[07:33] <D3LTA> i can't get it to work
[07:33] <defrysk> D3LTA, get the medibuntu repo
[07:33] <D3LTA> so frustrating!
[07:33] <D3LTA> defrysk does is work out of the box ?
[07:34] <defrysk> D3LTA, likely yes
[07:34] <D3LTA> defrysk did you try it ?
[07:34] <paul68> Jordan_U: there is a way to export your display from the server towards the laptop right? the question is does this also goes when you reboot your server or does it close the connection in the progress
[07:34] <defrysk> ffmpeg did
[07:34] <D3LTA> lol :)
[07:34] <D3LTA> need all of it to work
[07:35] <D3LTA> for like PHPmotion or vidiscript or vshare
[07:35] <defrysk> D3LTA, not sure about those
[07:35] <cordor> I have problem with java plugins for firefox. do i need to renice it? i have an applet that redraw it's tables and buttons extremely slow.
[07:35] <D3LTA> thanks anyway i will try!
[07:36] <D3LTA> damm 4 days of trying 20 installation and still not working
[07:36] <cordor> actually, it doesn't redraw most of the component unless mouse over it.
[07:37] <gbear14275> what command will tell me my system specs... is there one?
[07:37] <someone> hi
[07:37] <ikonia> gbear14275: what item do you wnt to check ?
[07:37] <gbear14275> cpu
[07:38] <gbear14275> what kind
[07:38] <adantan_alex> i need help
[07:38] <adantan_alex> my wireless card wont find net works on ubuntu....
[07:38] <Jordan_U> gbear14275: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[07:39] <Jordan_U> adantan_alex: What chipset?
[07:39] <adantan_alex> 1 sec
[07:39] <mannytu> I had to load a driver...
[07:39] <maveas> Hi guys. What is the fastest way to remove old kernel version for a newb?
[07:39] <ikonia> maveas: why do you want to remove an old verison
[07:40] <adantan_alex> dell wireless 1350
[07:40] <ikonia> maveas: I asssume not the one your running
[07:40] <maveas> ikonia: yes, it's an old one.. why should I have it?
[07:41] <gbear14275> anyway other than ping to check connectivity?
[07:41] <ikonia>  maveas no problem then, just open synaptic, search for linux-kernel and remove the kernel you don't wwant
[07:41] <Boohbah> adantan_alex: lspci -v |grep Net
[07:41] <ikonia> gbear14275: connectivity to what ?
[07:41] <adantan_alex> im going to come back on ubuntu
[07:41] <cregy> Hi All just joined the channel
[07:41] <adantan_alex> could u plz pm me the command?
[07:42] <dcider> maveas: or you can use startup manager and set the number of kernels to save
[07:42] <ikonia> cregy: we saw
[07:42] <Boohbah> cregy: hi. i am here too
[07:42] <adantan_alex> boohbah: hey can u plz pm me when i get back? the command?
[07:42] <Boohbah> adantan_alex: ok
[07:42] <adantan_alex> thanks
[07:43] <cregy> Thanks sorry if that was a funny thing to do - never used an irc client or chat room before but have a few questions to ask
[07:43] <maveas> dcider: that sound difficult?
[07:43] <ikonia> cregy: don't worry, just ask away
[07:43] <Boohbah> cregy: you're doing a great job so far!
[07:43] <ikonia> maveas: just remove the kernel you don't want from synaptic - it's just a package
[07:44] <maveas> ikonia: I'll do that. Thanks :)
[07:44] <dcider> nottha_k, just install it from applications and pick a number of old kernels to keep
[07:45] <cregy> I need to set up a server and want to use ubuntu. I have a nas box and also a mac serving Sage. I want to use ubuntu to control the network and protect the network.
[07:45] <ikonia> cregy: seems reasonab,e and no problem
[07:45] <Andmat09> Since it seems impossible to have a Dual monitor set up with Desktop Effects, running an ATI X800 Pro, what would be reasonable to go with when upgrading video cards?
[07:46] <cregy> I am going to add three network cards. 1. To serve client. 2. to serve the nas and mac and 3. to handle wireless
[07:46] <theplastikjesus> How can i get a toolbar looking thing for ubuntu 8.10 like this theme has at the bottom of the picture here?   http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=2&id=55440&file1=55440-1.jpg&file2=55440-2.jpg&file3=55440-3.jpg&name=Vortigo+++(+3D%2BVU%2BBeryl%2BDock+)
[07:46] <cregy> Does this sound sensible and am I in the right place to ask these questions please?
[07:47] <ikonia> cregy: seems over the top to put a client and nas card in , but it's your call
[07:48] <cregy> I am learning. You would just have two cards then?
[07:48] <Boohbah> ikonia: the disk can probably saturate the network
[07:48] <ikonia> Boohbah: which is why I said "it's his call" it depends on his network size
[07:48] <gbear14275> ikonia, i'm trying to diagnose a down server... and don't know how..., my pings were returning quite high it seemed and so wasn't sure the best way to check connectivity
[07:48] <ikonia> cregy: depends on the speed of the cards/network/switches
[07:48] <ikonia> cregy: and how many people your going to serve
[07:48] <Boohbah> gbear14275: traceroute, nmap,  nc
[07:49] <zeno> is there a gnome terminal like yakuake (drop down on button push, tabs)?  Its buggy in compiz
[07:49] <J2000_ca> Does anyone know why samba would seem to lag when applying permissions e.g. ~$ mkdir .wine; mkdir .wine/test mkdir: cannot create directory `.wine/test': Permission denied ~$ mkdir .wine/test
[07:49] <ikonia> gbear14275: traceroute is quite valid, you may want to try telneting to open ports on the network
[07:49] <cregy> I am running a network of 15 machines and 6 remote. Probably around 8/10 users at any one time but it could be the full 21! but rarely
[07:49] <cypherdelic> does anyone else have ubuntu that can confirm that (no libopenal.so.0)? it would really suck if old packages linked against libopenal.so.0 are blocked from being used with openal soft just because they can't be relinke
[07:49] <Boohbah> J2000_ca: probably an authentication timeout
[07:50] <ikonia> cregy: 1 nic and 1 wirless seems fine
[07:50] <J2000_ca> Boohbah: would it do it 100% of the time?
[07:50] <cregy> I have two switches - netgear 16 ports running a mixture of 100/1000 depending on the computers (which are xp)
[07:50] <Boohbah> J2000_ca: if you are querying some other server for samba authentication... not sure about your setup
[07:50] <gbear14275> trying traceroute now... just gotta google the commands
[07:50] <ikonia> gbear14275: the command is traceroute
[07:50] <Boohbah> traceroute <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:51] <cregy> Yes the network will query the nas box and also the mac for samba
[07:51] <Boohbah> cregy: not a bad idea to have a dedicated nic for a nas box
[07:51] <J2000_ca> Boohbah: ubuntu libpam-mount, openbsd samba (I just created the smb account locally)
[07:51] <laszo> #help
[07:51] <someone1> my wireless card doesnt connect to the internet
[07:52] <someone1> and im using a dell wireless 1350
[07:52] <Boohbah> J2000_ca: check samba logs for clues?
[07:52] <Boohbah> someone1: lspci -v |grep Net
[07:52] <someone1> thanks
[07:52] <panas55s> on ubuntu 8.10, trying to make a logitech 9000 pro quickcam work does any body know how ? please..
[07:52] <cypherdelic> I have a problem installing FreeSpace2-Open via Tureys installer. I installed OpenAL via Synaptic but the installer keeps saying:Post-Installation Notes for FreeSpace Open 3.6.9 Linux Executables (64-bit) You'll need OpenAL to play the game. - Pleasse help me!.
[07:52] <Boohbah> someone1: to find out the actual chipset manufacturer... Dell doesn't make wireless chips
[07:53] <cregy> If I have dedicated cards for the clients and a dedicated card for the nas/mac will it be more secure/slow things down please? Will it help in terms of security when remote access?
[07:53] <someone1> its got the wireless card?
[07:53] <someone1> wireless card*
[07:53] <laszo> ##net
[07:53] <someone1> it sais my wireless card

[07:54] <someone1> damn cya guys
[07:54] <ikonia> laszo: stop saying channel names
[07:54] <ikonia> laszo: do you want help
[07:54] <tsrk> Hey, I just felt like I should come in to thank the Ubuntu devs, cause I swear I got my homework done 10 times as fast as I would have on Windows (which would barely run the last time I tried it).  Apart from a few minor problems, Ubuntu 8.10 has been great!
[07:54] <jameson> hey i lost my shut down on my quit button any suggestions??
[07:55] <Slart> jameson: might be a permissions problem.. have you messed with groups or users lately?
[07:55] <Boohbah> jameson: sudo shutdown -h now
[07:55] <jameson> what will that do ?
[07:56] <Boohbah> jameson: exactly what it sounds like ;)
[07:56] <jameson> but i need to get the button bck
[07:56] <Boohbah> jameson: what did you do to lose the button?
[07:56] <jameson> i dont need to shut down... my prob is when i click my quit button  all the  log off.switch user... buttons are there but no shut down
[07:57] <zeno> where do you set the gnome mount options?
[07:57] <jameson> and i dont see any settings to put it back
[07:57] <DrUnKnMuNkY> hey everyone. i can't connect to any encrypted wireless networks anymore in 8.10. Anyone else had this problem?
[07:57] <ikonia> DrUnKnMuNkY: no
[07:57] <jameson> i think i lost it somehow when i assigned a new login page
[07:58] <jameson> but when i set it back its still not htere
[07:58] <zeno> DrUnKnMuNkY: its a new network monitor, its in top right
[07:59] <nomingzi> instead of using VMware Server 2.0 - what other way i can run Windows Vista as a Guest and Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop as host ?
[07:59] <jameson> understand ?
[07:59] <Boohbah> DrUnKnMuNkY: what's your wireless chipset? is the driver module loaded?
[07:59] <DrUnKnMuNkY> zeno: the problem's that i can connect to unencrypted wireless networks but i can't connect to anything encrypted (wep,wpa,wpa2). i've tried searching the forums and haven't found anything yet
[07:59] <Boohbah> nomingzi: virtualbox
[07:59] <DrUnKnMuNkY> Boohbah: it's the intel ipw2200 chipset.. the module's loaded (tried rmmod ipw2200 then modprobe 2200
[08:00] <zeno> DrUnKnMuNkY: hmmm im connected to encrypted, is the right key type and right key entered?
[08:00] <nomingzi> can virtualbox add wireless adapter as my virtual network connection ?
[08:00] <zeno> nomingzi: i think so but y
[08:00] <Boohbah> nomingzi: yes as long as your host OS supports it
[08:01] <zeno> is there a gnome terminal like yakuake (drop down on button push, tabs)?  Its buggy in compiz
[08:01] <DrUnKnMuNkY> zeno: the right key's entered.. i know that the network's working as it should. the strange thing though is that if i enter the key, when it pops up asking for it the second time it shows a different key. i'm pretty confused by this
[08:01] <nomingzi> VMware Server cannot add wireless connection as my virtual network connection :(
[08:01] <DrUnKnMuNkY> zeno: the gnome terminal has tabs (file -> new tab). you might also wanna check out terminator
[08:02] <Slart> zeno: have you tried yeahconsole?
[08:02] <arooni-mobile> i've got a samsung laserjet connected to BigArooni (<IP_ADDRESS>) on my network running ubuntu hardy.   i want to print from it from LilArooni (<IP_ADDRESS>), my laptop, also running hardy.  i went to admin => printers, added the printer, and could see the printer on my desktop.  when i go to print however print queue shows status as "Held" ... when i try to release it, it goes back to held...ideas?
[08:02] <zeno> DrUnKnMuNkY: try editing the network in the edit connections wireless then the one u want
[08:02] <maveas> What does rmmod do?
[08:02] <zeno> Slart: nope will thx
[08:02] <Boohbah> nomingzi: why don't you use a wired virtual connection in the guest? it can still be sent to your wired physical connection
[08:03] <Boohbah> err your wireless physical device...
[08:03] <krupa^> hello all! anyone have idea how i write a rewrite_rules for apache server inside sites-enabled dir instad of htaccess ? ... thanks!
[08:04] <DrUnKnMuNkY> zeno: i've tried doing that.. everytime i save the key and hit save.. when i open it up again there's a different key. same for all encrypted networks, not just the one i'm trying to use now
[08:04] <ikonia> krupa^: #apache would be the best palce to ask
[08:04] <ikonia> place even
[08:04] <nomingzi> Boohbah: VMware Server cannot recognize that my host PC has a wireless connection :(
[08:05] <Boohbah> DrUnKnMuNkY: have you checked launchpad for a bug?
[08:05] <J2000_ca> Boohbah: nothing shows up in the logs or dmesg. It's seems to be working just really slowly for some reason.
[08:05] <theplastikjesus> does 8.10 come with compiz installed?
[08:05] <DrUnKnMuNkY> Boohbah: i'm trying to find one now. haven't found one yet. found similar problems in the forums and the problems either weren't fixed or the solutions didn't work for me
[08:06] <Slart> theplastikjesus: yes
[08:06] <theplastikjesus> ok im not finding it on this installation
[08:06] <Slart> theplastikjesus: it's called "desktop effects" .. but it's compiz alright
[08:06] <Slart> theplastikjesus: system, preferences, appearance
[08:06] <cypherdelic> I have a problem installing FreeSpace2-Open via Tureys installer. I installed OpenAL via Synaptic but the installer keeps saying:Post-Installation Notes for FreeSpace Open 3.6.9 Linux Executables (64-bit) You'll need OpenAL to play the game. - Pleasse help me!.
[08:07] <Slart> theplastikjesus: the "visual effects" tab
[08:07] <theplastikjesus> slart: how do i get the 3d cube thing from compiz
[08:07] <Slart> !ccsm | theplastikjesus
[08:07] <Slart> !cube | theplastikjesus
[08:07] <zeno> Slart: hmm yeahconsole didnt appear to do anything
[08:07] <Slart> zeno: have you started it?
[08:07] <Boohbah> nomingzi: have you tried using a NAT interface instead of a bridged interface?
[08:07] <zeno> Slart: entered yeahconsole and .... nothing happens
[08:07] <DrUnKnMuNkY> Boohbah: i think i may have narrowed the problem down to wpa_supplicant. either that or the way the passwords are being stored. there's a lot going on for a wireless connection so it's hard to pin down
[08:07] <Slart> zeno: last time I used it it remained hidden until you pressed a button.. you might have to configure which button to use first
[08:08] <Slart> zeno: but you've read the man page.. haven't you? sure you have ;)
[08:09] <nomingzi> Boohbah: hmm... nope... I will try it later - i m currently not at the host PC - anyway many thanks
[08:09] <zeno> Slart: yes but i dont see which button to show it
[08:10] <Slart> zeno:  "key combo that toggles yeahconsole. Default is ControlAlt+y"
[08:10] <zeno> Slart: ah yeah a more thoughough reading got that right as u said thx
[08:10] <Ayabara> I want to use the Consolas font for emacs. How can I install that one on my system?
[08:11] <LinuxJunke> raedon 7000 having troubles getting the 3d too work etc
[08:11] <Slart> zeno: you're welcome
[08:11] <oxdot> hi guys ... is there a way to change HD driver on 8.10 at boot time ? i can not acces some partition with ubuntu (... special device not exist), but i can acces it on my ipcop box ??? (2.4)
[08:11] <gbear14275> what is an EOF?
[08:11] <Boohbah> gbear14275: end of file
[08:11] <gbear14275> I'm trying to write to a user on this machine and it says a messages is ended with an EOF
[08:12] <Boohbah> oxdot: what sort of partition is it?
[08:12] <gbear14275> that a specific string? or symbol?
[08:12] <zeno> gbear14275: end of file
[08:12] <Boohbah> gbear14275: usually ctrl-d
[08:12] <oxdot> Boohbah, ext3
[08:12] <maveas_> damm
[08:12] <Slart> oxdot: what kind of devices is it that you can't access?
[08:12] <Boohbah> oxdot: do you have an old hd controller?
[08:13] <oxdot> Boohbah, ide (WD 400GB)
[08:13] <maveas_> I've just installed some new drivers for my Ralink - but now I cannot connect to my AP :S
[08:13] <Viking667> hey there.
[08:13] <oxdot> Bobuido_, PCI ? ... no
[08:13] <Boohbah> oxdot: yeah what kind of ide controller do you have? lspci -v
[08:13] <Viking667> Any reason why a hardy->intrepid upgrade should stop the machine dead on libhal?
[08:13] <zeno> is there a way to open manpages with another program than less? openman yeahconsole gedit or w/e
[08:14] <Viking667> zeno: yeah. export PAGER=more
[08:14] <zeno> thx
[08:14] <maveas_> I did as written in this guide http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=rt61 but I cannot connect to my AP now.. wtf?
[08:14] <oxdot> Boohbah,  nforce2 ide rev a2
[08:14] <matthew_> Does anyone have any knoledge of Adding an Ubuntu Machine to A Windows Domain?
[08:14] <maveas_> I'm sure the card is using the new drivers..
[08:15] <ikonia> matthew_: it doesn't actually get "added" but participates
[08:15] <zeno> hmmm yeahconsole doesnt really work for me, i need tabs and bigger font
[08:15] <ikonia> matthew_: you need to use samba and winbind
[08:16] <uffo> i lost wifi connection from network manager after i installed and uninstalled ndiswrapper because i did not find matching driver, why i did it because default ubuntu wifi connection was so poor (sametime others on longer distance was maxed 95)
[08:16] <matthew_> Hmmm, more or less, im intrested in monitoring the ubuntu system via a program like Vision from the Windows admin system...
[08:16] <maveas_> Does anyone now if these drivers only support "monitor mode"?
[08:16] <uffo> is there gui option to restore wif
[08:16] <uffo> or i reinstall ubuntu
[08:17] <Boohbah> oxdot: is the amd74xx kernel module loaded?
[08:17] <damia> hi there
[08:17] <nvti> hi
[08:18] <zeno> anyone have konsole working in ubuntu 8.10? kde4 version. for me when the status of the text in konsole changes it doenst appear on screen, have to do another command for it to.
[08:18] <ikonia> matthew_: well I don't know you use programs like vision on ubuntu as I doubt it will work, however look into things like linux plugins for "mom" or nagios
[08:18] <oxdot> Boohbah, nope (lsmod | grep '*amd*')
[08:18] <zeno> uffo: just reinstall ndis and the driver
[08:20] <damia> quick question. im having trouble connecting to my vista ad-hoc wireless network in ubuntu 8.10 . the network shows up but it never accepts my password. it tries for a while then the password box comes up again but with the password in hex
[08:20] <uffo> zeno: ubuntu has driver itself but maybe it is bad driver but atleast there is something, no matching ndis driver so i want old back
[08:21] <zeno> uffo: where did you get the ndis one from in the first place? get it again
[08:21] <zeno> is there a way to revert to kde3 apps? kde4 ones are so buggy
[08:21] <damia> its really confusing everything seems correct
[08:21] <oxdot> Boohbah, the drive worked a while but it seems to 'die' :( ... anyway on the ipcop box i can copy around(/dev/_h_dx), but on ubuntu (nor even on sysrescue /dev/_s_dx) i can not acces it anymore
[08:22] <thanhson> I have a problem that I can't find a 'netop shool' such as Windows on Linux
[08:22] <uffo> zeno: from cd i got ndiswrapper, but i want restore ubuntu integrated driver but with GUI way not terminal
[08:23] <damia> quick question. im having trouble connecting to my vista ad-hoc wireless network in ubuntu 8.10 . the network shows up but it never accepts my password. it tries for a while then the password box comes up again but with the password in hex
[08:23] <Tyrath> if I were to set up /etc/network/interface to allow me to connect to the internet on wireless on boot how would this be done?
[08:24] <zeno> uffo: ndis isnt the ubuntu integrated driver.... and why h8 for the term?
[08:24] <Tyrath> - i can see tutes on the net but they don't help because obviously their settings are different
[08:24] <zeno> very efficient
[08:24] <matthew_> Anyone know any cool Programs for Music with a nice interface such as Winamp or something?
[08:24] <zeno> Tyrath: on top right right click on network dongle, edit connections wireless
[08:25] <niufox_> I can't load lgs8gl5.o module under ubuntu 8.10, I can't find it also.
[08:25] <Slart> thanhson: there might not be one.. I guess you could set something up using vnc and some related tools.. but it won't be as slick and polished
[08:25] <mtozses_> matthew_, audacious
[08:25] <damia> hmmm
[08:25] <zeno> matthew_: depends what u want.  xmms2 is similar to winamp, but rythmbox or amarok are better
[08:25] <uffo> zeno: i told that i have integrated driver too but i tried to test ndis but now i want ubuntu default wifi back, i uninstalled ndis already
[08:25] <Tyrath> zeno: looking at it now thanks
[08:25] <mtozses_> matthew_, get rhythmbox though
[08:26] <damia> hmmm
[08:26] <damia> quick question. im having trouble connecting to my vista ad-hoc wireless network in ubuntu 8.10 . the network shows up but it never accepts my password. it tries for a while then the password box comes up again but with the password in hex
[08:26] <zeno> uffo: read the ubuntu page on ndiswrapper
[08:26] <zeno> !ndiswrapper > uffo
[08:26] <matthew_> Is there any cool interfaces for rhythombox?
[08:26] <zeno> matthew_: what you mean? skins?
[08:26] <mtozses_> matthew_, it is a program, it has an interface
[08:26] <matthew_> yes, sorry
[08:27] <zeno> matthew_: i think amarok has skins
[08:27] <zeno> but honestly skinning is useless =p
[08:27] <ardchoille> !compiz > me
[08:27] <matthew_> Alrighty, thanks, gonna try now.
[08:28] <zeno> ardchoille: /msg ubottu !compiz
[08:28] <zetheroo> when i leave my machine alone for a long period of time and then move the mouse all I see is the wallpaper and the mouse pointer which I can move .... but everything else is gone and CTRL+ALT+Backspace does not work ... have to do a hard reset which I don't like doing .... please help ...
[08:28] <uffo> zeno: i readed that already but it wont let restore native wireless mode forget ndis because i uninstalled it and i want to use ubuntu default integrated kernel driver - looks like i just reinstall ubuntu that solves problem
[08:29] <damia> quick question. im having trouble connecting to my vista ad-hoc wireless network in ubuntu 8.10 . the network shows up but it never accepts my password. it tries for a while then the password box comes up again but with the password in hex
[08:29] <zeno> uffo: tried system admin hardware drivers, ahve it search?
[08:29] <arooni-mobile> i've got a samsung laserjet connected to BigArooni (<IP_ADDRESS>) on my network running ubuntu hardy.   i want to print from it from LilArooni (<IP_ADDRESS>), my laptop, also running hardy.  i went to admin => printers, added the printer, and could see the printer on my laptop.  when i go to print from my laptop however however print queue shows status as "Held" ... when i try to release it, it goes back to held...ideas?
[08:29] <ardchoille> zeno: same result ;)
[08:29] <thanhson> Slart : Thank you, I have used VNC for my Network, but it is not comfortable, It's no have many functions such as Netop
[08:30] <zeno> damia: edit the connection and make sure you ahve correct password type selectedc
[08:30] <Viking667> Right. Time I left.
[08:30] <zeno> ardchoille: sure but doesnt clutter chan! =p
[08:30] <Slart> thanhson: I have to agree on that one...
[08:30] <candykiller_> evening peeps
[08:30] <shajnin> hey
[08:31] <uffo> zeno: hardware drivers wont show anything, ubuntu had driver but poor quality wifi was so i tested ndis and did not find matching driver so now i want ubuntu default driver back
[08:31] <damia> i have tried both wep128bitpassphrase and 40/128 bit key
[08:31] <candykiller_> I was wondering how you added fonts, and how you would set them as your default?
[08:31] <damia> i ahve also tried making it unsecured and nothing happens
[08:31] <shajnin> hi I'm lookin' fo nvidia drivers fo ubuntu 8.04
[08:32] <panas55s> bbbye
[08:32] <damia> it acts as though it is connecting but stops after a minute
[08:32] <skenmon> hi
[08:32] <zeno> uffo: get the propper driver from the wireless network card makers site
[08:32] <candykiller_> shajnin: Have you went to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers?
[08:32] <zeno> uffo: windows version, xp 32 bit
[08:33] <zeno> damia: find out what the right one is then try.  maybe its wpa
[08:33] <uffo> zeno: i tried windows version driver but network manager do not show wifi
[08:33] <damia> i have tried the correct one
[08:34] <damia> i have also tried switching between wep and wpa
[08:34] <skenmon> hi
[08:34] <damia> (in vista)
[08:34] <zeno> uffo: when you have it installed and runnign what does dmesg and ifconfig say?
[08:34] <xicl> it's the ubuntu8.10 still has the bug to kill notebook disk?
[08:34] <damia> and connecting in ubuntu but same problem
[08:35] <candykiller_> anyone got any ideas on my fonts inquiry?
[08:35] <uffo> zeno: network manager do not have these options
[08:35] <theplastikjesus> how do i go about moving my Awn ?
[08:35] <Mechdave> candykiller_, can you re state your problem please
[08:35] <zetheroo> is there a way to test/benchmark the CPU in Ubuntu?
[08:36] <candykiller_> Mechdave: First I need to know what folder to drop new fonts in, then I'd like to set the new fonts to my default
[08:37] <damia> how do i check if a lan card is working in ubuntu i couldnt get that working either and the lights on it and the router don't come on
[08:38] <damia> inbuilt laN in an asus f3f laptop shouldnt it be working?
[08:38] <Ayabara> If I change the font rendering settings, should the effects be seen immediately, or do I have to restart the X-server?
[08:38] <linuxnoop> how du i juse the ./ to compile
[08:38] <Mechdave> candykiller_, the standard folder is /usr/share/fonts
[08:38] <zetheroo> anyone?
[08:38] <Slart> !compile | linuxnoop
[08:39] <Slart> zetheroo: there are several benchmarking applications in the repos.. search for benchmark
[08:39] <linuxnoop> thx
[08:39] <damia> how do i check if a lan card is working in ubuntu i couldnt get that working either and the lights on it and the router don't come on
[08:39] <Mechdave> zetheroo, A google search revealed this --> http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=benchmark+cpu+Ubuntu&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
[08:39] <Mechdave> zetheroo, Google is your friend :)
[08:40] <candykiller_> Mechdave: Does it matter what folder in /usr/share/fonts I put it in? it's the Zekton font
[08:40] <zetheroo> Mechdave: I have been trying Google ... :) there was nothing very definite in my search ...
[08:40] <Mechdave> zetheroo, did you try the search page I did?
[08:41] <zetheroo> Mechdave: looking now ... thanks
[08:41] <dubi> can anyone tell me pls how i fix this: i have xubuntu 8.10 but before that i used gnome. now whenever i log in i have to run nautilus to mount my other hdb
[08:41] <zetheroo> Slart: looking
[08:41] <Mechdave> candykiller_, what kind of fonts are they?
[08:41] <damia> how do i check if a lan card is working in ubuntu i couldnt get that working either and the lights on it and the router don't come on
[08:41] <syslq> I want to change background color of evince is that possible?
[08:41] <candykiller_> Mechdave: it shows zekton_.ttf, zektonbi.ttf, etc...I'm guessing TTF is a type of font?
[08:42] <Slart> damia: lspci should have a line for your card if it's talking to the computer.. you might still need a driver though
[08:42] <Mechdave> candykiller_, probably stick them in truetype (are they windows fonts?)
[08:42] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  Does anyone have a gnome-do mpd plugin that can play the songs you search/browse for?  If so, where did you get it?
[08:42] <candykiller_> Mechdave: I'm not really sure, I found the download link through a desktop thread on ubuntuforums
[08:43] <Mechdave> candykiller_, Although I think the system should find the fonts in zekton directory
[08:43] <candykiller_> Mechdave: How do you set the font type as a default? and I'll see if it works
[08:43] <gamla_kossan> hi guys & dolls.. easy question I guess: how do I chcek what version of ubuntu I'm running?
[08:43] <Slart> gamla_kossan: lsb_release -a
[08:44] <gamla_kossan> thanks
[08:44] <Buntai> anyone help me..my movie player hang when i play movie..hang for 3 or 4 second then continue..why?anyone know?
[08:44] <Mechdave> candykiller_, You should be able to access them through Open Office with them in the /usr/share/fonts/zekton directory
[08:44] <gamla_kossan> Buntai: tried disabling composited desktop?
[08:44] <jonaskoelker> Buntai: which movie player are you using?
[08:45] <Buntai> gamla_kossan: what is composited desktop?
[08:45] <Buntai> any player got the same result jonaskoelker
[08:45] <candykiller_> Mechdave: Alright, sorry I'm a little new to this.  It's asking for admin rights to edit the folder, what do I need to type in the console to edit it?
[08:45] <damia> ok the ethernet controller is installed correctly it erhe a place it may be disabled?
[08:45] <Mechdave> zetheroo, How did you go?
[08:45] <Buntai> it will hang 3 or 4 second then continue
[08:45] <damia> ok the ethernet controller is installed correctly is there a place it may be disabled?
[08:46] <Mechdave> candykiller_, That is ok, type in your password you used when you set up Ubuntu
[08:46] <Buntai> anyone..
[08:46] <Buntai> help me
[08:46] <gamla_kossan> Buntai: desktop eye candy. if you go into System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual effects
[08:46] <jonaskoelker> Buntai: let me clarify.  I search for "jtbr", select "JT Bruce" [artist], "The Dreamer's Paradox" [album], "A skeptic's hypothesis" [title], then hit tab.  All I can do is Copy to clipboard and Assign alias.
[08:46] <candykiller_> Mechdave: Yeah, but how do I get to that point to type it in?  Like do I need to do a gedit? or something in the console
[08:46] <Buntai> i cant solve this problem by my own
[08:46] <jonaskoelker> Buntai: are you saying that all the other players are limited in the same way?
[08:46] <jonaskoelker> duh
[08:47] <jonaskoelker> Buntai: I has read fail
[08:47] <cypherdelic> I have a problem installing FreeSpace2-Open via Tureys installer. I installed OpenAL via Synaptic but the installer keeps saying:Post-Installation Notes for FreeSpace Open 3.6.9 Linux Executables (64-bit) You'll need OpenAL to play the game. - Pleasse help me!.
[08:47] <gamla_kossan> Buntai: and then select "None".
[08:47]  * Mechdave scratches his head
[08:47] <cypherdelic> cypher@HaeckFlaisch:~/FreeSpace$ ./fs2_open
[08:47] <cypherdelic> ERROR: " Web cursor bitmap not found.  This is most likely due to one of three reasons: 	1) You're running FreeSpace Open from somewhere other than your FreeSpace 2 folder; 	2) You've somehow corrupted your FreeSpace 2 installation; 	3) You haven" at graphics/2d.cpp:1526
[08:47] <cypherdelic> cypher@HaeckFlaisch:~/FreeSpace$
[08:47] <Buntai> none?
[08:47] <jonaskoelker> Buntai: I thought you were answering my question
[08:47] <Buntai> ok ok
[08:47] <damia> ok the ethernet controller is installed correctly is there a place it may be disabled?
[08:47] <gamla_kossan> Buntai: and then try running the movie again.
[08:47] <jonaskoelker> Buntai: which players have you tried?
[08:47] <uffo> what is wrong with ndiswrapper i installed driver but network manager still wont show wifi
[08:47] <Buntai> jonaskoelker: im using all the player type like vlx,mplayer,totem ..its all get the same reult..hang
[08:48] <Buntai> soryy not vlx..but vlc
[08:48] <candykiller_> Mechdave: And is there anyway to remove all the security when editing files?  I'm the only one that uses this account and I'm guessing there should be like an Administration account where you can bypass this?
[08:48] <jonaskoelker> Buntai: any others besides those three?
[08:48] <Buntai> thats only three i know
[08:48] <Slart> damia: check the file /etc/network/interfaces .. there should be a line or two there for the card.. for more info check "man interfaces"
[08:48] <chilli0> does anyone know what the Darter Ultra or the Pangolin Performance laptops are like from system76?
[08:49] <Mechdave> candykiller_, I would not recommend working in the root account as it can destroy your machine REALLY quickly :( I found out the hard way once...
[08:49] <candykiller_> Mechdave: Do you know what I need to type in the terminal then to access the folder?
[08:49] <jonaskoelker> Buntai: how if you disable visual effects?  Does it change anything?
[08:49] <dcider> Buntai: are the videos streamed or are they on your harddrive?
[08:49] <Mechdave> candykiller_, Ok the easiest way to copy some files that you need admin rights for use sudo
[08:50] <Buntai> inside my harddrive
[08:50] <uffo> hat is wrong with ndiswrapper i installed driver but network manager still wont show wifi. when i press configure button it shows could not find a network configuration tool
[08:50] <Buntai> i've disabled visual effect
[08:50] <Mechdave> eg: sudo cp /files/orig/location /destination
[08:50] <candykiller_> Mechdave: So it would be sudo gedit /etc/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts?
[08:50] <Buntai> its work
[08:50] <Buntai> thanks
[08:50] <Buntai> i not hang anymore
[08:50] <Mechdave> candykiller_, No use cp for copy
[08:50] <candykiller_> Mechdave: ?
[08:51] <jonaskoelker> Buntai: congrats
[08:51] <Mechdave> candykiller_, Ok you have never used cp before?
[08:51] <Buntai> if i want to watch movie..i must disabled it rite?
[08:51] <jonaskoelker> Buntai: if you like mplayer, try running it with a few different values of -vo
[08:51] <candykiller_> Mechdave: Can't say I have, been using linux for about 5 days...lol
[08:51] <jonaskoelker> Buntai: it appears so...
[08:51] <Buntai> jonaskoelker: how?
[08:51] <damia> Slart: there is no mention of it in /etc/network/interfaces only loopback (useless)
[08:52] <jonaskoelker> Buntai: open an xterm, type "mplayer -vo sdl /home/buntai/path/to/file.avi"
[08:52] <arooni-mobile> chasetoys is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported. ;;; how do i add that user to the sudoers
[08:52] <uffo> hat is wrong with ndiswrapper i installed driver but network manager still wont show wifi. when i press configure button it shows could not find a network configuration tool.
[08:52] <Buntai> owh
[08:52] <Buntai> ok ok
[08:52] <Buntai> got it
[08:52] <Mechdave> candykiller_, Ok I will show you a really good command to use as well as google... if you type man cp it will give you a manual page about cp
[08:52] <damia> i can find it with lspci but am unsure what to add to interfaces
[08:52] <Buntai> anyway thanks for helping
[08:52] <Buntai> :)
[08:52] <jonaskoelker> Buntai: next, replace sdl by x11, xv, gl, mga, 3dfx and a few others one at a time
[08:52] <Buntai> brb
[08:52] <Buntai> watch movie
[08:52] <Mechdave> candykiller_, in a terminal
[08:52] <FloodBot1> Buntai: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:53] <barry_> hello room
