[08:21] <taks> @jscinoz, so it means that , once I use sudo command i can work for default timeout of the password

[08:21] <slacker> Hi everyone
[08:21] <jscinoz> taks, the reason you have to use sudo/gksu to run something as root means that something can't royally bork your system (to the point it fails to boot) without you specifically giving it root. If you ran your session as root it'd be like windows where you are administrator by default (and thus why viruses propgate so easily and do so much damage)
[08:21] <lancerocke> Can anyone help me?
[08:21] <jscinoz> taks, yes, you still need sudo before each command, but it shouldnt ask for password again if its only a short time after the last sudo use
[08:21] <jscinoz> taks, the same applies for gksu
[08:22] <glick> hmm everyone in ubuntu+1 seems asleep
[08:22] <taks> @jscinoz, thank bro, got a good help from you. thanks for your patients
[08:22] <vsftpd> how to translate in that traslation project
[08:22] <bazhang> glick it will pick up later
[08:22] <glick> speaking sleep
[08:22] <slacker> I've set up printing via lpr and recently I'm getting extra summary pages printed after each job listing user,host,class,job. Does anyone know where they come from?
[08:22] <asymptote> it's patience
[08:22] <glick> i should probably go to bed too
[08:23] <asymptote> not patients
[08:23] <jscinoz> taks, not a problem :)
[08:23] <asymptote> you aren't in a doctor's office
[08:23] <jscinoz> asymptote, don't be harsh, english may not be taks' first language.
[08:23] <vsftpd> bazhang, how to translate in that translation project
[08:23] <lancerocke> I need help. im trying to follow this tutorial http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:XFCE/Openbox and when i type killall xfwm4 it says danny@danny-desktop:~$ killall xfwm4
[08:23] <lancerocke>  xfwm4: no process killed
[08:23] <bazhang> vsftpd: which project?
[08:23] <asymptote> jscinoz don't tell me what to do

[08:24] <bazhang> asymptote: ease up
[08:24] <glick> thanks legend2440
[08:24] <asymptote> jscinoz, for all you know taks could be al kaida

[08:24] <asymptote> so jscinoz you said you maintain the game urbanteror
[08:24] <jscinoz> yes, it's currently waiting for sponsership in debian
[08:24] <bazhang> asymptote: name-calling is out of bounds here
[08:25] <jscinoz> i was aiming for hardy but missed the feature freeze, so if i get it in debian it'll be in Ubuntu intrepid by default
[08:25] <asymptote> jscinoz, i'm having an issue w/ the game
[08:25] <jscinoz> asymptote, what seems to be the problem?
[08:25] <asymptote> jscinoz, i downloaded the zip file and made the .i386 file executable and ran it
[08:25] <bazhang> vsftpd: do they have some contacts listed? you might want to talk to them
[08:25] <asymptote> jscinoz, however the graphics are messed up
[08:26] <vsftpd> bazhang, ohh,i am sorry
[08:26] <asymptote> jscinoz, there are a bunch of polygons - trianlges and boxes
[08:26] <asymptote> jscinoz, it's difficult to describe
[08:26] <jscinoz> asymptote, i assume you have your proper graphic card drivers?
[08:26] <Nubae> hey anyone know if firefox-3.0 is beta 3 or 4 in the gutsy repos?
[08:26] <asymptote> jscinoz, I am using a ThinkPad T60 which has an ATI x1300 video card and I have the restricted drivers installed
[08:26] <snewp> high-freq, is it possible to exclude openoffice's appearance to the gtk them that i'll be using ?
[08:26] <bazhang> Nubae: a quick peek in synaptic will tell you ;]
[08:27] <asymptote> jscinoz, so I believe that is taken care of
[08:27] <asymptote> hey jscinoz I was kidding about the N-drivers before
[08:27] <jscinoz> asymptote, what colour depth are you using in game, and what colour depth is your desktop
[08:27] <jscinoz> :P
[08:27] <Nubae> I'm on a terminal, have to update, etc, I hoped someone would just know
[08:27] <asymptote> jscinoz, is colour depth the same as resolution ?
[08:28] <slacker> ok, solved. thanks ;)
[08:28] <asymptote> jscinoz, I've been messaging you using /m jscinoz - did you get any private messages from me ?
[08:28] <jscinoz> asymptote nope not getting any from you >_<

[08:32] <Relaed> Anyone know why my speaker and headset are both letting out sound at the same time ?
[08:32] <carrera> tmadsen, libncurses5 wasn't the problem, my system was actually missing libncurses5-dev
[08:32] <jscinoz> alright sure, also if you are interested, latest builds of my urbanterror packages can be gotten off a torrent i'm running magnet:?xt=urn:btih:LAO5G3HZE353DQS5WVO7LDFM2HAKLNRU
[08:32]  * sap is back (gone 02:03:38)
[08:32] <bazhang> nice thanks jscinoz
[08:33] <jscinoz> :P
[08:33] <jscinoz> that torrent is DHT only, so if your client doesnt have DHT then you wont be able to download it :(
[08:33] <bazhang> haha
[08:34] <bazhang> cpk1: like ntfs drives? should do
[08:34] <alanbshepard70> I'm trying to catalog the file names on a few data DVDs I have and the LS command works great for it but I'm having some trouble. Sometimes when I insert the DVD the OS doesn't cache the whole file structure of the disc and so LS provides an incomplete file list. Is there a way to force a full read and catalog?
[08:34] <jscinoz> well i'm off to dinner, should be back in 30mins or so, asymptote send me an email or add me on one of the IM platforms i said above and i can help you :)
[08:34] <Nubae> updated
[08:34] <Nubae> anyway, thanks
[08:34] <Relaed> Anyone know why my speaker and headset are both letting out sound at the same time ?
[08:35] <cpk1> bazhang: like I have a hard drive that I just unmounted and want to physically unplug it from my computer while it is still running (this is an ide drive)
[08:35] <bazhang> cpk1: be sure to safely remove it ;]
[08:35] <Lap_Top> Flannel are uthere
[08:35] <alanbshepard70> Relaed: it's probably due to a faulty switch. I'm having the same problem and it's because my headset jack doesn't disconnect the rear jack as it's supposed to.
[08:36] <alanbshepard70> Relaed: If you know how to solder you can simply buy a new switch and swap out the two.
[08:37] <Relaed> alanbsheppard70, isn't it a software problem ? It was ok like moments ago, and I have never enountered such problem before.
[08:37] <FFEMTcJ> My computer has rebooted it's self twice (last night and the night before) while I was alseep. I can't think of any reason why it would. Is there somewhere that I can look that might tell me why it's rebooting itself?
[08:37] <alanbshepard70> Relaed: Make sure the headset plug hasn't slipped out ever so slightly
[08:37] <legend2440> are the updates from pre-released updates (gutsy proposed) ok to use or can there be problems with them?
[08:37] <bazhang> FFEMTcJ: how much ram you have? any process running?
[08:38] <alanbshepard70> Relaed: push on the jack and see if that fixes it. I've never in my life seen a headset and line out jack switched by software on a home computer.
[08:38] <FFEMTcJ> bazhang: 2gb.. I'm sure I do but I don't know what.. I just started using Ubuntu last week.. Were can I look to see about processes?
[08:38] <bazhang> legend2440: like from backports or where? what packages are you referring to?
[08:39] <Relaed> alanbsheppard70, OK, thanks
[08:39] <bazhang> FFEMTcJ: that would be top in the terminal
[08:39] <asymptote> does anyone know a channel for battle.net
[08:39] <thejamjam_> vais installer autre chose parsqu'apperament Xchat ca tourne pas terrible

[08:39] <bazhang> asymptote: you need a list of channels?
[08:39] <alanbshepard70> asymptote: have you tried google?
[08:40] <asymptote> alanbshepard70, watch it

[08:40] <asymptote> bazhang, i was just wondering if there was a way to connect to battle.net IRC servers
[08:40] <FFEMTcJ> bazhang: there are processes running. It's showing 704000k mem used and 16652k of swap
[08:40] <bazhang> asymptote: sure just add them to your irc client
[08:41] <asymptote> bazhang, I really don't appreciate your berating remarks
[08:41] <legend2440> bazhang: in synaptic>settings>repositories>updates id i check box for pre-released updates and reload a bunch of upgrades show up. are those upgrades ok to use?
[08:41] <loa> FFEMTcJ, you have UPS?
[08:41] <Relaed> alanbsheppard70, it's not fixing it
[08:41] <traf25> Aim2Game.TX.US.GameSurge.net
[08:41] <traf25> sorry
[08:41] <FFEMTcJ> loa: yes. power hasnt been out either.. I walked away this time for about 30 minutes..
[08:42] <lancerocke> Im trying to run OpenBox and im getting the error message "Openbox-Message: A window manager is already running on screen 0
[08:42] <lancerocke> " Can anyone help me please?
[08:42] <bazhang> lancerocke: did you choose openbox from session in the login window?
[08:43] <lancerocke> bazhang: no because I want to run openbox/xfce and im following this tutorial http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:XFCE/Openbox
[08:43] <bazhang> legend2440: ok to use? likely okay but again if this is a backport or such there is some risk imo
[08:43] <alanbshepard70> Relaed: try pulling the plug and re-inserting. Are you using a stereo plug in a stereo jack? (<--- Silly ? but sometimes little things cause probs)
[08:43] <legend2440> bazhang:  ok ty
[08:43] <lancerocke> bazhang: there is currently no xfce/openbox option
[08:43] <FFEMTcJ> bazhang: or loa any other thoughs?
[08:44] <lancerocke> bazhang: can u help me?
[08:44] <Relaed> alanbsheppard70, I am switching to windows to confirm that it is a hardware problem. If is, I gotta go and fix it...
[08:44] <bazhang> lancerocke: aha a custom type job? sounds fun--never tried it so really no idea how that would work--let me check the link
[08:44] <Relaed> Thanks for helping me
[08:44] <alanbshepard70> Relaed: You're welcome.
[08:44] <lancerocke> bazhang: thank u so very much
 check out logs.
[08:45] <FFEMTcJ> loa: which ones/where.. I'm sorry, but like I said, I'm really new to ubuntu/linux
[08:46] <vsftpd> hmm
[08:46] <dgjones> Relaed, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/speakers-and-headphone-both-play-together-592807/ there's supposed to be a setting for Headphone Jack Sense, that may solve it
[08:46] <bazhang> lancerocke: did you try that with a sudo in front of it?
[08:47] <loa> FFEMTcJ, vim /var/log/messages
[08:47] <dgjones> ah, never mind, they've disconnected

[08:48] <ameznaric> ?
[08:49] <FFEMTcJ> loa: All it has is a bunch of things that say -- MARK --
[08:49] <bazhang> lancerocke: is that the name of the process?
[08:49] <dgjones> !fixres | ameznaric
[08:49] <ubot3> ameznaric: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:49] <bazhang> ameznaric: what card and waht driver and how installed please
[08:50] <lancerocke> bazhang: i dont know if its the name of the process because im just following the  tutorial. How do I find out what window manager is running and shut it off?
[08:50] <ameznaric> ati 8100... so far it worked on the default driver, so i downloaded the updated driver from ati...
[08:50] <ameznaric> sfter restarting, gnome said it cant start the driver
[08:50] <lancerocke> bazhang: so i can run openbox
[08:50] <ameznaric> and that it will use the low graphics mode
[08:50] <ameznaric> so it was ok, but 256 colors
[08:51] <bazhang> lancerocke: aye; I see the tutorial let me check something
[08:51] <ameznaric> after a few more attempts, it accepted the graphics card
[08:51] <ameznaric> but the screen is garbled
[08:51] <ameznaric> so id like to reset it back
[08:51] <ameznaric> or at least start it in low graphics mode
[08:51] <lancerocke> bazhang: ok
[08:52] <ameznaric> so my question is just how to start gnome in low graphcs mode
[08:52] <ameznaric> or x...
[08:54] <Relaed> Finally it turned out to be a software-hardware problem
[08:54] <bazhang> killall xfdesktop what about that lancerocke
[08:54] <Relaed> headphone and speaker output are separate on this chipset...
[08:54] <lancerocke> k brb
[08:54] <ArthurArchnix> ameznaric: Why did gnome say it can't start the driver? Switch to antoher terminal, like Ctrl+Alt+F1 and do: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf  and make sure the correct driver is listed.
[08:54] <FFEMTcJ> loa: any thoughts on that?
[08:55] <lancerocke> bazhang: danny@danny-desktop:~$ killall xfdesktop
[08:55] <lancerocke> danny@danny-desktop:~$
[08:55] <ArthurArchnix> ameznaric: If it is, you can try replacing it with the old driver name
[08:55] <lancerocke> bazhang: danny@danny-desktop:~$ killall xfdesktop
[08:55] <lancerocke> danny@danny-desktop:~$ openbox
[08:55] <lancerocke> Openbox-Message: A window manager is already running on screen 0
[08:55] <lancerocke> danny@danny-desktop:~$
[08:55] <bazhang> lancerocke: then openbox & exit
[08:55] <_[Shadow_Angel]_> Âñåì ïðèâåä
[08:56] <ArthurArchnix> ameznaric: But first, find what driver is list, let's say it's called ATI, switch to yet another terminal Ctrl+Alt+F2 and type: sudo modprobe ATI  or whatever the name of the driver is. Do this only if you haven't restarted your computer since installing the new driver
[08:56] <bazhang> lancerocke: I have to head out for a bit; certainly the other fine folks here can help you (when they wake up ;] ) I will try to help later if you need
[08:57] <lancerocke> bazhang: ok

[08:57] <alanbshepard70> Relaed:  Haven't seen that before, Did the problem occur within windows also? It it occurred in both OSes it may still be hardware, even if the outs are separate something tells the PC to switch the active port and that part may be broken, it does seem unlikely that it just happened out of no where though.

[09:11] <osfameron> I've never really got samba filesharing to do anything much useful at all on my ubuntu installs
[09:11] <sCOTTo> osfameron: to a degree yes - i could browse other machines on my network before...
[09:11] <mmmiiikkkeee> lancerocke: you can run  "ps -e " and the "kill -9 <PID of prosses you want to kill>"
[09:11] <LSD|Ninja> osfameron: define 'useful'
[09:11] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: i dont know HOW to restore the system
[09:13] <Relaed> ArthurArchnix, Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller
[09:13] <mmmiiikkkeee> yea I had  a lot of trouble with samba also...
[09:13] <Relaed> ArthurArchnix, that's my audio device.
[09:13]  * sCOTTo liked this article.... http://potchery.blogspot.com/
[09:14] <LSD|Ninja> The big problem with samba on Ubuntu is that it doesn't share your ~ by default and that you have to manually smbpasswd -a your account
[09:14] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: If it is that bad then I advise that you save your /home directory's contents and set up Ubuntu anew.
[09:14] <ArthurArchnix> hmm... well, I've got an ICH7, so this may not work for you. The good news is if it doesn't work it simply doesn't work. It's easy to revert changes.
[09:14] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: I JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW I GOT about RESETTING THE NETWORK CONFIG TO THE ORIGINAL STATE - IS there a program that can help me / GUI :) ??
[09:14] <lancerocke> oh sorry
[09:14] <lancerocke> i was afk
[09:15] <lancerocke> ArthurArchnix: danny@danny-desktop:~/Desktop/openbox-<IP_ADDRESS>$ killall xfwm4
[09:15] <lancerocke> xfwm4: no process killed
[09:15] <lancerocke> danny@danny-desktop:~/Desktop/openbox-<IP_ADDRESS>$
[09:15] <ArthurArchnix> Relaed: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[09:15] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: Did you use the network manager before?
[09:15] <heym1> can I use gtkrc to use different iconsets for certain application? e.g. evolution use tango and thunar use mac
[09:15] <heym1> ?
[09:15] <sCOTTo> hmmmnot sure i dont think so
[09:15] <ArthurArchnix> Relaed: Add this at the bottom:  options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
[09:15] <lancerocke> mmmiiikkkeee: what do you mean.
[09:15] <ArthurArchnix> Relaed: Save, reboot, cross fingers
[09:15] <lancerocke> mmmiiikkkeee: thank you for ur response
[09:16] <lancerocke> ArthurArchnix: Thank you for your response
[09:16] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: Dis you use Synaptic before?
[09:16] <Relaed> ArthurArchnix, rebooting... thanks
[09:16] <ArthurArchnix> Relaed: It should be possible to restart the sound without rebooting, but I've never shined to it.
[09:16] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: Did you use Synaptic before?
[09:16] <sCOTTo> yup
[09:16] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: yu
[09:16] <sCOTTo> yup
[09:16] <lancerocke> ArthurArchnix: It say that xfwm4: no process killed
[09:17] <sou1> Hello, I just reformatted using a new version of guty's cd; however i can not get my compiz preferences updated... i dont have the preferences options under apperance.. what do i need to do?
[09:17] <ArthurArchnix> lancerocke: what does ps | grep xfwm show?
[09:17] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: yes network manager is on my system
[09:17] <sCOTTo> i dont know if i used it
[09:17] <mmmiiikkkeee> lancerocke: I mean first you run "ps -e" to find the PID(the left most number) of the program you want to kill
[09:17] <lancerocke> ArthurArchnix: Nothing - danny@danny-desktop:~/Desktop/openbox-<IP_ADDRESS>$ ps | grep xfwm
[09:17] <lancerocke> danny@danny-desktop:~/Desktop/openbox-<IP_ADDRESS>$
[09:18] <ArthurArchnix> are you sure its running then?  Have you checked to see if openbox is already running?
[09:19] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: You could try to de-install network manager and then re-install Network Manager. If after reinstalling Network Manager you network access is still broken, then you will see error messages in either a Gnome terminal or in dmesg. Please report these error messages here.
[09:19] <bullgard4> your
[09:19] <lancerocke> ArthurArchnix: I i dont know how to do that
[09:20] <ArthurArchnix> lancerocke: compiz is your window manager
[09:20] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: how do i uninstall networ manager
[09:20] <sCOTTo> ?
[09:20] <ArthurArchnix> replace xfwm4 with compiz
[09:20] <sou1>  Hello, I just reformatted using a new version of guty's cd; however i can not get my compiz preferences updated... i dont have the preferences options under apperance.. what do i need to do?
[09:20] <lancerocke> ArthurArchnix: so i cant run compiz with openbox?
[09:20] <ArthurArchnix> compiz is a window manager. openbox is a window manager.
[09:20] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: Look it up in Synaptic.
[09:21] <heym1> can I use gtkrc to use different iconsets for certain application? e.g. evolution use tango and thunar use mac iconset. will include work?
[09:21] <Relaed> ArthurArchnix, it didn't work.
[09:21] <ArthurArchnix> Relaed: Bummer. You remember that bug report lnk you pasted
[09:21] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: do i do a REINSTALL or uninstall and then reinstall ?
[09:21] <Relaed> ArthurArchnix, yes
[09:22] <ArthurArchnix> Relaed: If you scroll down you'll see what options other people have tried. Try those as well. Even though they didn't work for them, they might work for you. This is where knowing what command restarts alsa is useful, since without that command restarts are required after each change to alsa-base
[09:22] <heym1> any ideas?
[09:22] <lancerocke> ArthurArchnix: ok i did killall compiz ; openbox & exit and now - http://pastebin.com/m48206aa0
[09:23] <Relaed> ArthurArchnix, thanks for helping me, and it's time for dinner now. Have a nice day.
[09:23] <lancerocke> mmmiiikkkeee: ok i did killall compiz ; openbox & exit and now - http://pastebin.com/m48206aa0
[09:23] <ArthurArchnix> lancerocke: Well, I don't see compiz, but I don't see openbox either. You desktop must look messed up.
[09:24] <Relaed> ArthurArchnix, I'll keep on looking for the solution.
[09:24] <lancerocke> ArthurArchnix: my desktop looks normal
[09:24] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: i.) Look up 'network-manager' in Synaptic. ii.) Highlight it. iii.) Click on it. iv.) Choose: "Fully remove" After you fully removed it: v.) Install network-manager.
[09:24] <sCOTTo> thanks
[09:24] <life2atreus> i fixed my sound prob!!!!
[09:24] <ArthurArchnix> Is there a border around your irc client?
[09:25] <lancerocke> ArthurArchnix: might emerald be my window manager?
[09:25] <ArthurArchnix> lancerocke: Dunno, anyway know the instructions say "Now you must log out and log back in. When you go to log out, make sure you check the box that says "Save session for future login" or something like that. When you log back in, XFCE will use Openbox."
[09:25] <ArthurArchnix> now*
[09:26] <mmmiiikkkeee> lancerocke: if you kill 'X' it shoudl kill what ever window manager you are running also..: "kill -9 26150", but i think killing gdm should also work; do you want to kill just the window manager or all of 'X'
[09:26] <ArthurArchnix> mmmiiikkkeee: This is what he's doing http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:XFCE/Openbox
[09:26] <heym1> can I use gtkrc to use different iconsets for certain application? e.g. evolution use tango and thunar use mac iconset. will include work?

[09:27] <helohalo> without loss of data

[09:27] <helohalo> so only /bin, etc binaries get replaced, but not all data erased
[09:28] <SupaFly> anyone got any links to security for lamp servers for ubuntu, because i cant really find anything relevant, all the tutorials i find are talking about settings which stragely i dont have
[09:28] <ArthurArchnix> lancerocke: Why are you still here? You did step one of the instructions and it seemed to work. Now do step two. Log out, save session for future login. Log back in. We'll still be here
[09:28] <lancerocke> ArthurArchnix: ok brb
[09:28] <heym1> dual iconsets? howto?
[09:28] <mmmiiikkkeee> lancerocke: what was wrong with "killall compiz ; openbox & "
[09:29] <heym1> I'm waiting and asking my q every 10 minutes it seems...
[09:29] <heym1> : /
[09:29] <ArthurArchnix> SupaFly: Look for debian docs on the subject. They're probably better and 99% of them will be applicable to Ubuntu. You'll just have to adapt them with sudo instead of su and stuff. Also look up bastille

[09:57] <Linux_Fresher> techt0nix:  oh .. then its not for me yet .. i cant yet make anything for me unless i learn some basic things in linux like installing a pre-given program .. editing/making/customizing would come after 1 week depending on how good i understand the OS

[09:58] <walla> can anyone help me set up apache in ubuntu? i have php5 working fine, but when i try and access "http://myip/apache2-default/" i get the forbidden page

[09:58] <unbelieve> hello! my hard drive is getting smaller every second by *mb .... logging something and I cant find where and what .... any help??
[09:58] <Linux_Fresher> techt0nix:  did u see the weblink i pasted ?
[09:58] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: ?
[09:59] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: Ah, yes I see. (But I did not understand your topology fully.) Did you install Samba on your laptop?
[10:00] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: no... was i meant to - i thought it would have been standard.... i played with it a bit... and couldnt get it working.... so i killed it - then talked to you and then i uninstalled what you told me to
[10:00] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: You have got 3 computers in a LAN. One is 'faithtop'. One is 'kristop'. What is the name of the third?
[10:00] <Linux_Fresher> techt0nix:  here it goes --->  http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/GNUtoon%2BUbuntoon?content=70206    at the bottom, i downloaded the second file .. not the gnu one, the ubuntoon one i got
[10:00] <venome> walla: and what about http://myip/
[10:00] <venome> ?
[10:00] <mmmiiikkkeee> Linux_Fresher: from the readme file it says you can just copy the Ubuntoon dir to the ~/.icons directory
[10:00] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: the other is 'SERVER'
[10:00] <sCOTTo> and it is a server 2003 install
[10:00] <venome> walla: or respectively http://localhost
[10:00] <ArthurArchnix> unbelieve: Logs can't be generated that quick, plus a default ubuntu install has something called logrotate that prevents logs from growing beyond a certain size. It's more likely something is being copied onto your system.
[10:00] <venome> ?
[10:00] <Bhadresh> any one know to setup dual wan router using ubuntu?
[10:01] <Linux_Fresher> mmmiiikkkeee:  ya but it also says OR i can go to system-->appearance  and click install .. i want to do it that way .. right now i cant seem to find the icon folder it talks about
[10:01] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: sCOTTo All three are in one LAN. Is this correct?
[10:01] <sCOTTo> yes
[10:01] <xav> nerim.fr
[10:01] <sCOTTo> all in workgroup called FAITHCOM
[10:01] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: all in workgroup called FAITHCOM
[10:01] <techt0nix> can someone please help me with my video card
[10:02] <techt0nix> ubuntu tells me it has the driver
[10:02] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: 'SERVER' uses an Windows operating system?
[10:02] <techt0nix> but i still cant boot ubuntu up with it
[10:02] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: ys it uses windows server 2003
[10:02] <zod_> is it any mediacenter for Ubuntu 7.10?
[10:02] <mmmiiikkkeee> Linux_Fresher: the icon foldre is hidden; all folder starting with a '.' are hidden.  i think "control h" will show you the hidden folders
[10:02] <Linux_Fresher> quakky:  did it work ?
[10:03] <quakky> Linux_Fresher: nope...
[10:03] <quakky> Linux_Fresher: I tried a command which redid and redetected everything
[10:03] <quakky> Linux_Fresher: however that didnt seem to work..
[10:03] <Linux_Fresher> mmmiiikkkeee:  yes, but please .. rather than moving stuff without understanding, i am trying to figure out the basic gui methods in linux .. so i really want to try it the second way
[10:04] <quakky> Linux_Fresher: i cant believe it only took me an hour to mess up linux
[10:04] <pcormack> sureshot then just type :wq!
[10:04] <Linux_Fresher> quakky:  well, it will surely be solved in here when some pro turns up here .. right now its a bit too early .. from my time, i will say 2 hrs from now
[10:04] <Linux_Fresher> quakky:  did it get messed up after u installed the restricted driver ?
[10:04] <axz> Guys how to add new wigets to my desktop like net stats or hd usage
[10:05] <quakky> Linux_Fresher: well I downloaded the drivers from Nvidia's website
[10:05] <Linux_Fresher> quakky:  btw dont give up .. i had given up on linux 3 times before because i could not drop the 'windows mentality' .. this time i am giving it a go as if it was my first OS of life
[10:05] <quakky> Linux_Fresher: but it was working before
[10:05] <unbelieve> ArthurArchnix: probably the iptables.. but I did check all logs thay seems to be fine.. How can grep out files by size? then I`ll see wich files are growing.. the speed is unbelieveble.... 300mb left of...
[10:05] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: I understand that your Ubuntu laptop computer 'faithtop' does not have the Samba server and client packages installed. You will need to install them.
[10:05] <Linux_Fresher> quakky:  hmm .. there must be something that you have told the system or downloaded  before and after .. it cant auto mess up
[10:06] <venome> hi, once again could someone advice me on setting up suspend2ram / suspend2disk?
[10:06] <mmmiiikkkeee> Linux_Fresher: sorry, I don't use gnome; but from what i read i thin you need to unzip the file(and not untar it) then specify the the .tar file for the gui program?
[10:06] <Linux_Fresher> quakky:  u downloaded directly through nvidia site or used some ubuntu update button and ubuntu got it from nvidia site ?
[10:06] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: how do i do that quick?
[10:06] <Linux_Fresher> mmmiiikkkeee:  okies, now thats a good info , so basically unzip and untar are different things in linux ?  i thought it was just decompressing ..
[10:07] <quakky> Linux_Fresher:this is wat i did..installed ubuntu, installed updates, downloaded nvidia stuff from repo, enabled restricted drivers, downloaded and installed the drivers from nvidia's website...
[10:07] <quakky> i guess i installed 2 sets of drivers?
[10:07] <Linux_Fresher> quakky:  and it got messed up  after the reboot right ?
[10:07] <jumeaux> slt a tous
[10:07] <quakky> well it got messed up whne i tried the 'gdm' start command
[10:08] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: can you list any EXTRA packages i would or would NOT install from samba - there are a lot there in synaptics
[10:08] <zod_> so when ppls use ubuntu ure dual boot or ust use Linux as main os?
[10:08] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: is there a good gui i would use for control ?
[10:08] <mmmiiikkkeee> Linux_Fresher: they are seperate things; tar take a group of folders and files and puts them all together as one file(but does NOT compress them); the .bz2 mean the the 'tar-ed' file was then compressed
[10:08] <sureshot> it worked now ty pcormack
[10:09] <acee1234> i keep getting issues from alot of my programs saying something is already listening on the port they need tor....azureus, ktorrent etc whats going on here. any ideas?
[10:09] <smokeyd> Hi people. I did a "dd if=/dev/hda of=disk.img"  from my hard disk. This disk contains one primary partition and one logical parititon. I can repartition this file with fdisk. But is there also a way to mkfs.etx3 one of the parititions in the image file?
[10:09] <Linux_Fresher> quakky:  hmm .. never heard about gdm command , but mine was messed up after the restricted driver reboot .. then was fixed using some command that was told to me here .. but i think u r not too far off from the solution
[10:09] <Linux_Fresher> mmmiiikkkeee:   ooooh .. ok ..
[10:09] <quakky> Linux_Fresher: i think i should just uninstall everything (gotta figure out how) and try reinstalling stuff
[10:09] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: ok now i go to install it... its already there - my apologise
[10:09] <mmmiiikkkeee> Linux_Fresher: I was thinking you might need to just unzip, but not untar the file; the README file says to use the tar file
[10:10] <mmmiiikkkeee> Linux_Fresher: its just a guess, I am not sure
[10:10] <zod_> is it any major problems to use Linux as main os?
[10:10] <Linux_Fresher> quakky:  naw, i would hold on .. lets face it , we know nothing of linux yet .. not even the dir command [ which is ls in linux ] .. we cant yet poke around in here like we did in windows without atleast some basic knowledge
[10:10] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: According to my experiences you will need the packages samba, samba-common, samba-dbg, samba-doc, samba-doc-pdf.
[10:11] <unbelieve> anybody knows howto grep files out by size?
[10:11] <quakky> Linux_Fresher: hehe ya i guess...alright then ..im off to sleep ...6 am and gotta work in 4 hours ..
[10:11] <acee1234> no one knows how to see what clogging my ports?
[10:11] <Linux_Fresher> mmmiiikkkeee:  ok when i double click on the tar.bz3 archive, it opens up like winzip .. so how to extract the content as a tar file and not as a full folder with subfolders in it ?
[10:11] <Linux_Fresher> quakky:  dont worry at all and have a nice sleep .. usually all issues get solved in here for sure
[10:11] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: I do not understand your question: "is there a good gui i would use for control ?" Please say it in other words.
[10:12] <bod_> hey guys, i klnow you can change the GDM login screen theme throuh the gui manager but can you do it through terminal,. if so how?
[10:12] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: disregard GUI question..... can you tell me the settings i need to get this thing working ?
[10:12] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: This is tricky.
[10:12] <unbelieve> hello! my hard drive is getting smaller every second by *mb .... logging something and I cant find where and what .... any help??
[10:12] <Linux_Fresher> mmmiiikkkeee:  right clicking on the folder in the archive doesnt have untar option,  only extract option
[10:13] <ArthurArchnix> unbelieve I'd reboot, unplug from the net, then use disk usage analyer to locate big files and folders.
[10:13] <beltran> hello, im new here  but in short is there any way to undo all the updates ive gotten?
[10:13] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: Do you understand German?
[10:13] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: not enough to get me by no...
[10:14] <ArthurArchnix> unbelieve: Chances are though that you accidentally copied and pasted something in the background. do ps ax and see what's running
[10:14] <sebrock> I have an issue with upgrading my server to Gutsy, I use the "do-release-upgrade" and everything is fine until it will restart the nfs-kernel-server... then it just stalls and nothing happens???
[10:14] <bod_> ps aux
[10:14] <acee1234> i keep getting issues from alot of my programs saying something is already listening on the port they need tor....azureus, ktorrent etc whats going on here. any ideas? if you have none where might i ask ive asked #kubuntu and #tor
[10:14] <smith> hoola
[10:14] <Linux_Fresher> Q how to untar a file ? without extracting it ?    eg. ubuntoon-2Feb2008.tar.bz2   .. i dont want to extract the containts .. only want to untar it .. eventually it has to look something like  Ubuntoon-2Feb2008.tar   [ i think ]
[10:14] <techt0nix> i have a easy ? what does Hotplug mean in ubuntu lol
[10:14] <smith> hay algien
[10:14] <mmmiiikkkeee> Linux_Fresher: I don't know how to do that in a gui; I don't use gnome, so you might want to ask some one else "how to unzip, but not untar" a file in gnome
[10:15] <Linux_Fresher> mmmiiikkkeee:   umm .. wait .. u mean  "how to untar but not unzip"  right ?
[10:15] <doff> Linux_Fresher, bunzip2 filename
[10:15] <unbelieve> ArthurArchnix; thanks dude! will try
[10:16] <Linux_Fresher> doff: would this work ?  i pull the folder out of the archive manager --> so this is decompressing [unzipping] .. may be i can re-pack it to .tar somehow ?
[10:16] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, why not extract then tar?
[10:16] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:   DID IT !! :)
[10:17] <doff> Linux_Fresher, this should unpack to .tar file
[10:17] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  but why i have a feeling that i took the longer way around ?
[10:17] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-ByExample/index.html is the best introduction to your problem. I do not know an English shortcut for that.
[10:17] <mmmiiikkkeee> Linux_Fresher: no; I think you want to just unzip it.... its common in linux to see a group of files the were "tared" then "ziped(compressed)".  if you just unzip the file you get the "file.tar" part back...
[10:18] <mmmiiikkkeee> Linux_Fresher: most gui programs will do both for you to make it easyer on you; they will fisrt unzip then untar the fle
[10:18] <Linux_Fresher> mmmiiikkkeee:  i think i am understanding it now , but can i send u the archive file please so that u can have a look at it ?  its very small
[10:18] <acee1234> how do you see who is blocking/listing on what port
[10:18] <beltran> is there a reasonably easy way to undo all the updates ive gotten or am i stuck with them?
[10:18] <Linux_Fresher> mmmiiikkkeee:  and trust me please, its not a virus or worm or anything .. i think
[10:18] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, i dont understand,.,. so you have solved the prob? an easy solution would be to right click --> extract here (removing the .tar.bz2) --> then right-click --> archive --> .tar   finished
[10:18] <acee1234> or just reformat and be done with it?
[10:18] <Linux_Fresher> mmmiiikkkeee:  or i can give u a weblink for it
[10:19] <beltran> or do i need to do a fresh install
[10:19] <mmmiiikkkeee> Linux_Fresher: i think you could do what bod_ said...
[10:19] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  yes, i did it that way .. now i have ubuntoon.tar  ,   ubuntoon folder and Ubuntuoon-2Feb228.tar.bz2  on desktop
[10:20] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: thanks
[10:20] <mmmiiikkkeee> Linux_Fresher: now can you install the .tar file in the gui?
[10:20] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  now next problem ... now when i try to install it through "appearance"  the .tar file doesnt show up .. only the Ubuntoon folder and the tar.bz2 show up
[10:20] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, thats fine, the longer filename is just the name of the tarball whereas the tar you made only has the name of the Parent file,. you could rename the new .tar file if you really wanted to
[10:21] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, is this a GTK theme?
[10:21] <Linux_Fresher> mmmiiikkkeee:  i tried to forcefully give it the .tar file by clicking "all files" and choosing it .. now it says invalid format
[10:21] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, why didnt you want it in .tar.bz2 format?
[10:21] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  i think so .. not very sure  .. here is the link to it -->  http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/GNUtoon%2BUbuntoon?content=70206
[10:22] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  umm .. i dont know .. if i show the .tar.bz2 format to theme installer, it just says installation failed
[10:22] <beltran> does anyone know how to undo updates? is it possible? is there an easy way? should i just re-install?
[10:22] <mmmiiikkkeee> bod_: the directions says to install the "tar" file...
[10:22] <smokeyd> hey people. Is there a way to boot the ubuntu live cd into a text-only version? No gdm/gnome/Xorg/etc?
[10:22] <Linux_Fresher> ya .. website says GTK 2.x  .. is that what u ment ?
[10:23] <Frogzoo> beltran: reinstall
[10:23] <Linux_Fresher> lol linux is difficult :(
[10:23] <ArthurArchnix> beltran: Depends what updates
[10:23] <sureshot> can i share files from my xp to ubuntu in some way?
[10:23] <beltran> i want to wipe them all
[10:23] <bod_> Linux yer, its a theme,.,. if it says install failed, did it say why?
[10:23] <ArthurArchnix> beltran: reinstall
[10:23] <benpicco> sureshot: you should be able to read and write ntfs
[10:24] <beltran> ok thanks
[10:24] <smokeyd> sureshot: yes. ou can access your windows XP parttions directly from ubuntu
[10:24] <Linux_Fresher> no other message .. just a window which says installation failed
[10:24] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, you moved the tarball to /usr/themes    ??
[10:24] <sureshot> benpicco: i have fat32 on this computer  i think?
[10:24] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  nope, its on my desktop
[10:24] <bod_> it can read fat aswell
[10:24] <bod_> ;|)
[10:25] <benpicco> sureshot: should be possible too (why would you like to install xp on a fat32 partitio?)
[10:25] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, lemme give it a try on my system then il walk yu through it
[10:25] <beltran> is this the only linux help id like a second opinion
[10:25] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  thanks .. its some cartoon theme, should go really well with wobbly windows .. so i really want it :)
[10:25] <sureshot> penpicco: im not sure if it its fat 32 where can i see that?
[10:26] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, it says it will be default for Edubuntu soon ,.,. ;-)
[10:26] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  umm.. ok.. i dont have edubuntu i think
[10:26] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: I GOT IT WOOO HOOOO!!
[10:27] <bullgard4> sCOTTo: Congratulations!
[10:27] <Linux_Fresher> sCOTT grtz
[10:27] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, hhhmm,. im getting error,.,. il be a few mins
[10:27] <sCOTTo> bullgard4: i used GSAMBAD awesome as well as the thing in the docs you gave me... i changed the security from USER to SHARE
[10:27] <sCOTTo> thanks Linux_Fresher
[10:28] <legend2440> Linux_Fresher: did you get that theme to install yet?
[10:28] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  sure m8 take your time, i will hang back
[10:28] <sCOTTo> ok
[10:28]  * sCOTTo better go
[10:28] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  naw bro, bod_ is giving it a try at his end
[10:28] <bod_> ;-)
[10:28] <sCOTTo> catchayh all!
[10:28] <sCOTTo> THANKYOU ALL SOOO MUCH!!
[10:29] <sureshot> benpicco: when i look in workgroup the ubunto doesnt show up..how do i find and transfer files between xp and ubuntu?
[10:29] <sCOTTo> ;)
[10:29] <FloodBot3> sCOTTo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:29] <sCOTTo> o-kay...
[10:29] <benpicco> sureshot: aah,you are taking about network shares?
[10:30] <sureshot> yes..im controlling ubuntu with vnc and want to transfer files to the computer that has ubuntu
[10:30] <legend2440> Linux_Fresher: go to your home directory and hit ctrl+h
[10:30] <benpicco> sureshot: if so, samba is what you are searching for
[10:30] <adyre> HOW CAN I easily change the default 25 port for Postfix to 80, for example...?
[10:30] <adyre> PS: Newbie Linux
[10:30] <sureshot> oki whay is that?
[10:30] <unbelieve> what does folder /home/user/.cache/tracker    anybody?
[10:31] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, works like a charm,.,.,. ok, remove everything to do with gnutoon/ubuntoon from your comp then download the ubuntoon tarball to your desktop and tell me when your at that stage ;-)
[10:31] <legend2440> Linux_Fresher: do you see folder called .icons?
[10:31] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  yup .. i see many folders starting with . now, someone said they are hidden
[10:31] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  yes .. its there
[10:31] <benpicco> sureshot: its an open implemantation of windows smb file share service, you you can share files with windows pcs and the other way round
[10:31] <benpicco> sureshot: there should be a howto in the wiki
[10:31] <benpicco> !samba
[10:31] <ubot3> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[10:31] <legend2440> Linux_Fresher: is ubutoon folder inside ?
[10:31] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  basically i can move files there but i want to learn the gui things first before i start moving stuff without understanding what i am doing
[10:32] <bod_> legend2440, my way is easier trust me
[10:32] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  yes there is ubuntoon folder there
[10:32] <sureshot> benpicco. oki ty will look into that
[10:32] <legend2440> Linux_Fresher: delete it
[10:32] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  0.o
[10:32] <bod_> oh, lol,.,.
[10:33] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  it didnt ask for confirmation .. it just got .. well .. deleted
[10:33] <unbelieve> what`s for folder /home/user/.cache/tracker    anybody?
[10:33] <legend2440> Linux_Fresher: then open sysrem >preferences>appearance
[10:33] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  ok now retry to install through theme manager ?
[10:33] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  ok appearance running
[10:33] <legend2440> Linux_Fresher: now point it at the tar.bz2 file
[10:34] <huiii> hello
[10:34] <ks3> unbelieve: It stores information for searching your files
[10:34] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:   IT WORKED  !! "The theme Ubuntoon has been installed"   :)
[10:34] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, he means, press the install button ,.,.then point to the tar.bz
[10:34] <bod_> oh
[10:34] <bod_> to late
[10:34] <Linux_Fresher> weeee !! sweeeet !!   thanks bod_ thanks legend2440 .. :) :)
[10:35] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, HAVE FUN,.,.
[10:35] <legend2440> Linux_Fresher: the reason it was failing was because you already had ubutoon in .icons folder
[10:35] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  can u explain what was going wrong ?
[10:35] <bod_> legend2440, ah,.,. cool,.,.
[10:35] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  but in windows it would ask me something like "there is already a folder called xyz .. overwrite / cancel "  etc .. no such thing in linux ?
[10:35] <bullgard4> 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices' outputs a line 'N: Name="Sleep Button (CM)"' I take 'CM' as 'Control Method'. My computer does not have a 'Sleep Button'. Can you explain why the kernel still recognizes a 'Sleep button control method' device?
[10:35]  * bod_ gotta do coursework now ;-( ..........
[10:35] <unbelieve> ks3: it`s nearly 10gb big? O_o can i delete something from it?
[10:36] <sylphe> irc.indymedia.org
[10:36] <ks3> unbelieve: you can delete everything from it if you want, but you'll probably also want to disable tracker from running or else it will get recreated
[10:37] <unbelieve> ks3: how to desable?
[10:37] <legend2440> Linux_Fresher: no i guess theme manager does'nt
[10:37] <huiii> each time i plug in an USB-HDD Lacie 500gb, the HDD spins up and does not appear on Gnome-desktop. fdisk -l tells me that the HDD is there. when i unplug and plug it back again, its recognizzed and the icon appears on the Gnome-desktop: my question: HOW CAN I LET SYSTEM LOAD HDD WITHOUT UNPLUG/PLUG, IS THERE A COMMAND-LINE PROCEDURE?
[10:37] <ks3> unbelieve: System / Preferences / Sessions - uncheck the Tracker item
[10:37] <unbelieve> ks3: ok thanks!
[10:38] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  ah .. but i bet linux could use more of information messages .. i couldnt have figured out why it was not working without your help :)
[10:38] <benpicco> huiii: is dmesg telling you that something went wrong?
[10:38] <huiii> benpicco: i'll check
[10:38] <legend2440> Linux_Fresher: how do those icons look?
[10:38] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  cute and cartoonish
[10:38] <legend2440> Linux_Fresher: lol have fun
[10:39] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  atm finding some good cartoon wall paper to go well with it :D  .. the icons match the wobbly windows ..
[10:39] <beltran> ok last question, i have not found anything on the forums or other linux help places so is there an irc channel for noobs like me to find help?

[10:39] <bod_> Hey guys, i know you can change GDM login screen theme through the gui manager but can you do it from the terminal?
[10:40] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  so now ok to delete these experimental files on desktop ?  Ubuntoon-2Feb2008.tar.bz2, Ubuntoon folder and the Ubuntoon.tar that i made ?
[10:40] <benpicco> huiii: any errors?
[10:41] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, yes
[10:41] <huiii> benpicco: no, it looks just fine,
[10:41] <huiii> benpicco: it sees the HDD correctly
[10:41] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  and 2nd Q,  one more error i think, the Appearance Preferences window wont close .. clicked the lower close button, upper right close X, and upper left menu --> close .. the window wont close
[10:41] <legend2440> Linux_Fresher: yes
[10:42] <legend2440> Linux_Fresher: it won't close?
[10:42] <benpicco> huiii: and canyou mount it manually?
[10:42] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  ah figured it out  !!  the old failed installation window was still there in background ..
[10:42] <mmmiiikkkeee> Linux_Fresher: did you try "alt-f4"; and that sounds weird why woudl it not close
[10:43] <faileas> is there any way to check what specific driver a device is using? i'm having problems getting a ralink RT73 card using the linux compat drivers to connect to a WPA/WPA2 access point. Its detecting it, so i figure the card works
[10:43] <titon> hi anyone know how i can reset my laptop battery?
[10:43] <Linux_Fresher> recommend me some good linux for dummies and dunce book  !!
[10:43] <legend2440> Linux_Fresher: ok and yes you can delete the ones on desktop if u want
[10:43] <Smegzor> How soon is Ubuntu upgrading to Gnome 2.20?
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> titon, how do you mean "reset"
[10:43] <titon> or is there an application that can reset my laptop battery
[10:44] <bastid_raZor> Smegzor; 7.10 Gutsy is using Gnome 2.20
[10:44] <huiii> benpicco: manual mount works fine, but than its not seen as external HDD. i get some permission issues. is there a command-line that lets the system recheck the USB-port and do the same automatic procedure as when we plug in a ext HDD ??
[10:45] <Smegzor> Sorry I meant Gnome 2.22
[10:45] <titon> well the battery is getting very bad....only got like 30 miin of time out of it.... and while using it on battery ubuntu warns and goes down to 0 % but i can still use it for like 20 min.... i just need the battery to know when its really empty and realy full
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> huiii, check /etc/fstab ;)
[10:45] <faileas> titon: what do you mean by reset?
[10:45] <huiii> ok
[10:45] <faileas> ahhh
[10:45] <Juhaz> Smegzor, never. when hardy comes out, it'll have 2.22, but older versions aren't updated.
[10:45] <faileas> titon: is it a old battery?
[10:45] <titon> i tried running it till it dies and then recharge but doesnt work
[10:46] <Smegzor> will it appear in backports?
[10:46] <prince_jammys> bod_: apparently in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom  where it says GraphicalTheme=.   The theme directory names are in /usr/share/gdm/themes
[10:46] <titon> design capacity:         4000 mAh
[10:46] <titon> last full capacity:      368 mAh
[10:46] <titon> its well 2-3 years old
[10:46] <Linux_Fresher> did it  :)
[10:46] <zerboxx> titon: how'd you find that?
[10:46] <faileas> titon: i'm sorry but its a result of memory effect. you can't do anything about it
[10:46] <huiii> ActionParsnip: fstab just lists internal HDDs
[10:46] <titon> ./proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info
[10:46] <zerboxx> titon: thanks! I was wondering how to find that stuff out
[10:46] <titon> no biggy hehe
[10:47] <bolder> hallo @all
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> lo bolder
[10:47] <titon> i just thought there was a way to teach the battery when its empty and when its full....
[10:47] <bolder> its just english here?
[10:47] <titon> cuz its not empty when the battery thinks it is....there for i thought maybe it says its full when it isnt
[10:47] <zerboxx> titon: umm for me is says command not found, but I see the info thing right there? any suggestion?
[10:48] <bolder> or dual lang=de
[10:48] <faileas> bolder: english. there's a seperate german chan
[10:48] <ks3> titon: sometimes there's a battery drain option in the bios

[10:49] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  there is one pm for you which is off-topic here .. please reply in there .. thank you :)
[10:49] <ks3> titon: Not that I've seen. I've had to replace my battery twice in the past year and a half...

[10:50] <titon> half an hour is crapp
[10:50] <titon> not very portable then hehe
[10:50] <zerboxx> titon: hey, better than my 15 minutes ;)

[10:50] <huiii> titon: i got 45min on ubuntu and 1.45h on windows xp, uh
[10:52] <titon> u use powernod?
[10:52] <huiii> what is hotplug and coldplug?
[10:52] <Linux_Fresher> who right now in here is VERY GOOD at linux ?  i have an off-topic Q
[10:52] <faileas> is there any way to check what specific driver a device is using? i'm having problems getting a ralink RT73 card using the linux compat drivers to connect to a WPA/WPA2 access point. Its detecting it, so i figure the card works, but i can't get it connected even with what i am sure is the right password
[10:52] <beltran> so much for linux standing a chance at competing with windows, or mac for that matter, i guess i know the answer tomy problemas, go back to windows, it works, and updates dont usualy wreck the comp, oh well, good luck you opensource warriors
[10:53] <keiserr> hi
[10:53] <heyjoe`> hello, how can  aregular user create a file that can only be rm'd by root?
[10:53] <benpicco> heyjoe`: chmod 600 file and chown root file should work
[10:54] <huiii> heyjoe`: create that file as root
[10:54] <keiserr> i have been downloading a torrent, and reached around 47%, now i just got the same file as a direct link, is it possible to use wget -c to resume that partially downloaded torrent file?
[10:54] <benpicco> keiserr: yes, but are torrent files normaly not just around a few kb?
[10:55] <keiserr> benpicco: i meant i use torrent to download a file. and now want to resume that file but using another source
[10:56] <benpicco> keiserr:so you want to use another torrent for the same file?
[10:56] <atlantide> i want to install a new machine and i have this message "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (inittramfs)" can you help ?
[10:56] <keiserr> benpicco: naa, i got a direct link for that file now
[10:56] <legend2440> Linux_Fresher: i pm'd you back did you see it?
[10:56] <heyjoe`> benpicco: it doesnt let me chown root
[10:56] <huiii> anybody knows how to detect and let system mount automatically external HDD without unplugging/plugging in???
[10:56] <patogen> What do you do with processes that can't be killed, not even with "kill -9"?
[10:57] <Linux_Fresher> legend2440:  yup .. sorry was on other side of the cube :)
[10:57] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  wb
[10:57] <huiii> patogen: u could do killall <processname>
[10:57] <patogen> huiii: It doesn't work
[10:57] <prince_jammys> heyjoe`: it's not possible, unless the user is an admin user, in which case: sudo chown root filename, and sudo chmod 600 filename
[10:57] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, wb?
[10:58] <huiii> patogen: u could also do $sudo kill SIGTERM <processID>
[10:58] <Linux_Fresher> bod_:  welcome back :)
[10:58] <bod_> Can you change the selected theme from terminal ?
[10:58] <bod_> Linux_Fresher, ty ;~)
[10:58] <heyjoe`> how do i do a filesystem wide search for a file?
[10:58] <patogen> huiii: ERROR: garbage process ID "SIGTERM".
[10:59] <ks3> heyjoe`: What's the goal? As long as you have rwx permissions to the directory containing the file, you'll be able to delete it.
[10:59] <prince_jammys> heyjoe`: sudo find / -name filename
[10:59] <bod_> heyjoe`, terminal --> locate nautilus
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> heyjoe`, find / -name "<name of file>"
[10:59] <heyjoe`> i tried find filename but that only looks in the current working directory
[10:59] <huiii> patogen: sorry, here correct command: kill -SIGKILL <id-nr>
[10:59] <prince_jammys> heyjoe`: find /starting/path -name filename
[10:59] <bod_> heyjoe`, locate command is good
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> heyjoe`, yeah you need to use / after the find command so it serches from / and below
[11:00] <prince_jammys> heyjoe`: locate is fine also, but it doesn't directly search the drive. it searches a stored index
[11:00] <huiii> patogen: and?
[11:00] <patogen> huiii: Still does not kill it
[11:00] <bod_> can you change selected GDM login screen from terminal?
[11:00] <Rudin__> hello, I want to see a java applet in a web page but I can not see it.  I have Ubuntu 64, can I see java applets in Ubuntu 64?
[11:00] <huiii> patogen: do u know the process id?
[11:00] <ubot3> Rudin__: Error: Could not parse XML returned by Ubuntu: not well-formed (invalid token): line 384, column 84
[11:00] <prince_jammys> bod_: did you get my earlier message?
[11:00] <huiii> patogen: what do u want to kill?
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> !java " Rudin_
[11:01] <ubot3> Factoid java " rudin_ not found
[11:01] <bod_> huiii, you could use    killall processName
[11:01] <mad_max02> Rudin_, u need to install sun java. It worked for me
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> !jave | Rubin
[11:01] <ubot3> Factoid jave not found
[11:01] <bod_> prince_jammys, no sorry
[11:01] <prince_jammys> bod_: apparently in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom  where it says GraphicalTheme=.   The theme directory names are in /usr/share/gdm/themes
[11:01] <Rudin__> !java
[11:01] <ubot3> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[11:01] <patogen> huiii: Multiple instances of "eject" and I know the process id ... I cannot use "eject" to eject my cd-rom now
[11:01] <huiii> bod_: it seems not to work on his
[11:01] <heyjoe`> thanks all for your help, that is all for today ;)
[11:01] <heyjoe`> bye
[11:01] <prince_jammys> bod_: just a guess, but it seems to be stored in that variable in the configuration file
[11:01] <mad_max02> Rudin_, just go to synaptics and search for java and install sun java
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> patogen, press the button on your drive
[11:01] <prince_jammys> bod_: the login theme, right?
[11:01] <mad_max02> Rudin_, I have 64bit too and it worked for me
[11:02] <patogen> ActionParsnip: That does not solve the problem, I like being able to use eject.
[11:02] <huiii> patogen: uups, thats something else, i think u should rather reload that instance than kill it,
[11:02] <patogen> huiii: Hmm how do you do that?
[11:02] <Rudin__> mad_max02: did you install java from Applications --> Add/Remove?
[11:03] <bod_> prince_jammys, yer,  know where you can select which login theme with the System--> Admin-> Login Window      gui,.,. i need to change the theme with a script, so gui isnt n option
[11:03] <patogen> Hmm sorry lunch ... will check back later
[11:03] <huiii> patogen: i dont know exactly, modprobe? i dont know this, perhaps u have to re-formulate the question and post it here again....
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> patogen, try killing all the eject processes then run another
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> patogen, its not something ive used so I'm guessing

[11:04] <prince_jammys> bod_: then that configuration file is *probably* it. you would have to replace GraphicalTheme=This  with the directory name of you login theme (which is in /usr/share/gdm/themes). again, just a guess, but it seems right

[11:04] <benpicco> why is mono so seldomly updated?  1.2.6 is out there for 3 month now :/
[11:05] <bod_> prince_jammys, cool, cheers,.,. im guessing its something similiar but what about changing GTK theme?
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> Rubin, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall icedtea-java7-plugin
[11:05] <prince_jammys> bod_: i'll look around :)
[11:06] <Slart> benpicco: seldomly updated? you want a new version every week?
[11:06] <Rudin__> ok, I'll try Act
[11:06] <Rudin__> ok, I'll try ActionParsnip
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Rubin, http://www.futuredesktop.com/java-plugin-64-bits-ubuntu.html
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Rubin, got it from there
[11:06] <bod_> prince_jammys, ty,,. where are you looking? on your system or asking other people on irc?
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> Rubin, dont run sudo gedit like it says though, use kdesu gedit
[11:07] <hwolff> Does anyone know a decent program to automatically manage IMAP emails? (filter spam, move emails into subfolders, forward others to another email)
[11:07] <prince_jammys> bod_: the gtk theme  appears to be somewhere stored in .gconf folder in you home dir
[11:07] <prince_jammys> bod_: i'm looking in my comp
[11:07] <bod_> ActionParsnip, is that a kubuntu variation on gksudo?
[11:07] <prince_jammys> bod_: the gtk theme has to be in the user's dir
[11:07] <Slart> benpicco: or you meant why the repository version of mono isn't keeping up with all the mono releases?
[11:08] <benpicco> Slart: no,but i want a new version in ubuntu -it still uses 1.2.4
[11:08] <prince_jammys> bod_: maybe there's a default somewhere in /etc
[11:08] <benpicco> Slart: yes, i mean, mior releaes of firefox, etc are updatet,too
[11:08] <Slart> benpicco: the whole idea is to decide on one version and use that until the next version of ubuntu comes out.. unless there is something seriously wrong with the version in there..
[11:09] <bod_> prince_jammys, there seems to be alot of %gconf.xml files in .gconf
[11:09] <Slart> benpicco: makes for a more stable operating system... you know what is in there.. today, tomorrow and next week..
[11:09] <Sergo> hello
[11:09] <prince_jammys> bod_: search for the string of your current theme
[11:09] <Sergo> how should i create the swap? As a logical partition or primary?
[11:10] <bod_> prince_what like      locate slickness             ?
[11:10] <Slart> benpicco: there are other distro's that update continously.. debian does that.. I'm not familiar with the others
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> bod_, that too :)
[11:10] <bod_> ??
[11:10] <prince_jammys> bod_: grep -ri themename .   (dot on the end, recursive case insensitive grep)
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> bod_, really annoys me when people bandy sudo around.
[11:11] <benpicco> Slart: but i wonderwhy some apps ar updated (firefox,kde, etc) and some not
[11:11] <prince_jammys> bod_: you
[11:11]  * bod_ is sooo confused
[11:12] <prince_jammys> bod_: you're not looking for the theme as filename, but as a string inside of a conf file
[11:12] <bod_> ActionParsnip, i dont fully understand why sudo isnt as good as gksudo for gui apps but owell
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> bod_, was just continuing on from the sudo/kdesu etc
[11:12] <Slart> benpicco: someone made a decision to update those.. security reasons might be one thing.. or enough people just scream about it, I guess =)
[11:12] <prince_jammys> bod_: the bot has an article on that
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> bod_, its not that its "not as good" its just  that it can damage permissions and ownerships very badly and eventually it can make the system not boot
[11:13] <prince_jammys> !gksudo | bod_
[11:13] <ubot3> bod_: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[11:13] <bod_> prince_jammys, ok, im a bit confused,. my theme is called 'SlicknesS'       could you complete the command for me plz ;~) (sorry bout the noobishness)
[11:13] <Slart> hwolff: take a look at procmail.. I've never used it.. but it's been around for a long time
[11:13] <Slart> hwolff: not sure if it handles imap mail on a remote host though
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> bod_, to make it easier you can actually use gksudo for everything. job sorted
[11:14] <hwolff> well, thanks. I'll try
[11:14] <bod_> prince_jammys, ActionParsnip, ty for the gk info
[11:14] <prince_jammys> bod_: grep -ri slickness ~    (will search for the text "slickness" case-insensitively in every file in your homedir)
[11:14] <prince_jammys> bod_: that'll give you a clue as to what file keeps your theme info
[11:16] <prince_jammys> bod_: seems to be this file::  .gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/%gconf.xml  -- open it and see
[11:16] <aurehman> hi..I have a problem
[11:16] <bod_> ActionParsnip, you could do that easily by creating an alias,. so sudo is an alias for gksudo then whenever sudo is typed gksudo will be incurred
[11:16] <aurehman> i installed ffmpeg from ..... svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
[11:17] <bod_> prince_jammys, that command filled my terminal with what looks like html code
[11:17] <aurehman> but it is not converting mov files...can anyone help me in converting mov files through ffmpeg
[11:17] <prince_jammys> bod_: it's all the matches :)  it means you have many files with "slickness"
[11:17] <prince_jammys> bod_: open the file i mentioned, i think that's it
[11:17] <zod_> any one here who can help me with stuff in ubuntu? please wisp, tell
[11:18] <magnetron> !anyone | zod_
[11:18] <ubot3> zod_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[11:18] <bod_> prince_jammys, ok in the file there is parameters set for the GTK theme and the icon set,.,. if i change one, will it change the theme do you reckon? lets try
[11:19] <Slart> zod_: just ask your question in the channel
[11:19] <zod_> is it poseble to use Linux as main os and do what ever u want, + all the stuff the windows does?
[11:19] <bod_> yes
[11:19] <bod_> apart fromtip top gaming
[11:19] <Slart> zod_: well.. you won't be playing halo and crysis in linux..
[11:19] <wers> where do I get themes for my slideshow presentations made by oo.o impress? :)
[11:19] <prince_jammys> bod_: you'll have to do some kind of "reset" of gnome, so that the conf file is reread - backup  the file first, too.  and remeber case sensitivity when it comes to themes
[11:20] <aurehman> help me in converting mov files from ffmpeg...as i m unable to convert mov files...anyone suggest me codecs for mov files
[11:20] <Slart> zod_: and running Microsoft Word might be a problem.. but there are alternatives
[11:20] <zod_> ah so i can play windows games in Linux, like oblivion, wow and css and cs 1.6?
[11:20] <benpicco> with wine yes zod_
[11:20] <benpicco> well,oblivion maybe not
[11:20] <Slart> zod_: older games might be playable using wine.. oblivion does work.. but it's slow.. really slow
[11:20] <benpicco> but the rest should be possble (don#t know about css)
[11:21] <Slart> zod_: wow and cs 1.6 works, afaik
[11:21] <bod_> prince_jammys, il do it in a wee bit then,.,. cant be asked atm,.,. cheers though,.,.
[11:21] <prince_jammys> zod_: you can look in wine's appdb (application database) to see which windows programs run well under wine.
[11:21] <ere4si> should maybe explain "wine" there benpicco
[11:21] <chainedchaos> ok, i have a really n00by problem. I accidently changed my wireless connection settings, and now i cannot connect
[11:21] <benpicco> zod_: there is also a comercial version,called cedega, makes more games work
[11:21] <magnetron> aurehman: use ffmpeg version provided in ubuntu or in the extra medibuntu repository, otherwise we cannot help you
[11:21] <bod_> prince_jammys, ever heard of 'gdmsetup'   ??
[11:21] <zod_> i got wine in tip tip top install, all i have to do is dubble tap an .exe file and it start the install or run auto in Wine
[11:21] <magnetron> benpicco: incorrect.
[11:21] <Slart> zod_: you can have a look at http://appdb.winehq.org .. they have gathered info on all games that work in wine
[11:21] <prince_jammys> bod_: isn't that the gui app?
[11:21] <zod_> cool
[11:22] <benpicco> magnetron: well,yes,it´s not relatet to the wine project, but they used to use the souced before wine switched to gpl
[11:22] <sureshot> can i use rar files on ubuntu?
[11:22] <bod_> dunno,.,. its in the text file you told me about for gdm theme changing
[11:22] <zod_> so as an normal pc user i can still use Linux, and never go back to Win?
[11:22] <bod_> it mentions it
[11:22] <Slart> sureshot: yes.. there is an unrar package
[11:22] <Slart> !rar
[11:22] <ubot3> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[11:22] <aurehman> magnetron: plz help me... as i already installed ffmpeg from aptitude..it was converting but audio was not present in converted file
[11:22] <prince_jammys> zod_: yes sir
[11:22] <prince_jammys> zod_: i haven't booted windows in about a year
[11:22] <Slart> zod_: depends on your definition of a "normal PC user"
[11:22] <magnetron> aurehman: didn't you say you compiled the SVN version?
[11:22] <Skaag> how do I upgrade edgy to the latest?
[11:22] <aurehman> magnetron: so I installed from svn
[11:23] <Timsen> hi all, I use ubuntu server and want to add an additional partition, but if I use cfdisk I have to restart the machine to see the new generated UUID after the reboot, is there a way without a reboot?
[11:23] <Slart> zod_: I dual boot once a week or so.. to play crysis.. or oblivion
[11:23] <Slart> !upgrade | Skaag
[11:23] <ubot3> Skaag: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[11:23] <zod_> that is ust super great, i will never go back to the Windows world, like the Linux World
[11:23] <aurehman> magnetron: yes i did it now... but before it was from aptitude
[11:23] <Skaag> thanks Slart
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> bod_, if you are mofifying in gedit etc, that is a gui app. sudo is used for commands like apt-get, cp, mv etc
[11:24] <magnetron> aurehman: uninstall the svn version and use the version from aptitude.
[11:24] <Slart> Timsen: can't you use gparted? or parted? I don't think a reboot is needed for that
[11:24] <zod_> so how can i get new programs in Linux (i run the Ubuntu 7.10)
[11:24] <aurehman> magnetron: but it is not converting audio... my movies don't have audio after conversion
[11:24] <benpicco> zod_: using aptidude
[11:24] <Slart> zod_: use synaptic, apt-get or the "Add/Remove" thingy in the applications menu
[11:24] <Se1> Hi everyone !
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> zod_, you can use aptitude or if you find out the name you can use sudo apt-get install <program name>
[11:24] <magnetron> aurehman: after you have installed the svn version, i can help you with that.
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> hi Se1
[11:24] <zod_> ah great
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> !hi | Se1
[11:25] <ubot3> Se1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[11:25] <Timsen> I have no X server running on this installation
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> zod_, eg. sudo apt-get install firefox
[11:25] <magnetron> aurehman: you need to listen if i will be able to help you!
[11:25] <prince_jammys> bod_: yep, do gksudo gdmsetup.  it's the gui app that you access from the menu
[11:25] <Se1> This morning, my external HD is not automaticaly mounted. What can I do ?
[11:25] <Timsen> Slart: i will try parted now on a virtual box first :) thanks for that tip
[11:26] <Slart> Timsen: you're welcome
[11:26] <Slart> !uuid | Timsen
[11:26] <ubot3> Timsen: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[11:26] <Gnomaton> )
[11:27] <bod_> prince_jammys, i think i found the part of the text file to edit, does this look like the thing to you? -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59366/
[11:28] <prince_jammys> bod_: yes. you probably can just change GraphicalTheme=NameofDirectoryofTheme      (the dirs are in /usr/share/gdm/themes/)
[11:29] <prince_jammys> bod_: tell you what, i'll try it right now just for kicks
[11:29] <magnetron> aurehman: after you uninstall the svn version, you'll have no install the medibuntu repositories
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> why does medibuntu exist. You can install exactly the same stuff on a standard Ubuntu install.
[11:31] <aurehman> magnetron: after i uninstall the svn version.. how can i install the medibuntu repositories.. guide me
[11:31] <mad_max02> is there any way to undelete file ??
[11:31] <magnetron> !medibuntu > aurehman
[11:31] <mad_max02> I just deleted 4gb file by mistake
[11:31] <bod_> prince_jammys, yer, heres what im doing (incase your interested) i downloaded a theme from gnome-look cause i dont like orange,.heh,.,. and they listed three or four commands then a trip through the gui app to get the damn thing, then it doesnt feel right because the log in screen is just horrible,. so i thought, if i make a script which uses all there commands plus, enables the theme and changes the background picture of GDM it woul
[11:31] <bod_> d be so much easier and better,.,. so im writing my scripts but wasnt sure of how to do it,.,. so thanks alot,. oh and did it work?
[11:32] <magnetron> mad_max02: did you delete in gnome, the graphical interface? in that case, it's in the trashbin
[11:32] <simon> hey can someone explain to me how to install something that's on subversion (trying to install bleeding edge version of dia)
[11:32] <julz> i have a psp wit 1GB memory stick m,ounted, the stick is basically empty but ubuntu says i only have 260 MB free space. Anyone have ideas?
[11:32] <benpicco> simon: thee should be a onfigure cript
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> magnetron, what file system are you using?
[11:32] <benpicco> +onfigure
[11:33] <simon> benpicco... how can i download the folder?
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> julz,   check the device from the terminal, I bet theres a .Trash-USERNAME directory withs tuff in it.
[11:33] <simon> i can browse the folder online, but i can't get it
[11:33] <benpicco> julz: i there a hidden .trash folder?
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> julz,   when using gnomes filemanager, and removeable media be sure to DELETE, not move to trash.
[11:33] <magnetron> ActionParsnip: i use ext3, but don't you want to ask that to mad_max02
[11:33] <benpicco> simon: do a svn checkout svn://url-to-whatever bleding_edgge-folder
[11:34] <simon> thanks
[11:34] <bod_> mad_max02, look for this folder    home/mad_max02/.Trash
[11:34] <julz> benpicco Dr_Willis : i have a .trash-1000 folder, but that is empty, i havent seen a suername one
[11:34] <Skaag> I'm positively surprised at how good the between-major-versions upgrade process is in ubuntu ;-)
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> magnetron, sorry. im tired
[11:34] <benpicco> julz: what does df -h tellyou?
[11:34] <sureshot> how do i get permission to extract the zip-file in a directory?
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> mad_max02, what file system do you use?
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> julz,   1000 is the first users USER ID.  odd that its giveing a #.
[11:34] <quakky> Linux_Fresher: are you there?
[11:34] <magnetron> sureshot: extract it in your home dir
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> julz,  delete the dir, look for other stuff on the device I guess.
[11:35] <lee___> How can I install any and all codecs in one easy command?
[11:35] <sureshot> oki..but i want it to be under var/www ?
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> mad_max02, ext3 recovery http://ubuntumagnet.com/2007/09/recovering-deleted-files-ext3-filesystem
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> mad_max02, could just restore from backup. much easier
[11:36] <sami> Could XEN be any slower on a ubuntu system.
[11:36] <lee___> How can I install any and all codecs in one easy command?
[11:36] <sureshot> magnetron: do i have to move the files, cant i extract them to whre i want?
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> !w32codecs | lee
[11:36] <ubot3> lee: The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[11:37] <lee___> Dr_Willis: Fail. I meant all codes. Any available on Linus.
[11:37] <kalkan> does anybody have experience with new ati driver? 8.3
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> lee___,  there no such thing as ALL codecs..
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> lee___, depends what you need to decode
[11:37] <magnetron> sureshot: normal users can only create and change stuff in their home directory and the other folders the admin have given the write acces too
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> lee___,  theres always new ones comming out.. and some just cant work on linux.
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> lee___, there are literally millions of codecs
[11:37] <aurehman> magnetron: I am waiting...how can i install the medibuntu repositories.. guide me
[11:37] <benpicco> kalkan: I have quiet good experience with it -work fine
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> lee___,  plus not all programs/players can handle all the codecs. it depends on how they are compiled.
[11:38] <lee___> How can I install all codecs needed to play a .ogg on my computer
[11:38] <magnetron> aurehman: read the private message ubotu gave you
[11:38] <prince_jammys> bod_: just tried it. it worked
[11:38] <Timsen> Slart: I found the solution, I can create a new partition and partprobe will check without a reboot and informs the kernel about the changes
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> lee___, the win32 ones are ok
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> lee___,  a .ogg can be any of several different codecs.
[11:38] <julz> Benpicco: df -h says it has 679 megs used up, with 270 free and 948mb total, but the psp says i have around 530 megs free
[11:38] <kalkan> benpicco i found it slower than 7.2
[11:38] <lee___> Dr_Willis: I've installed assloads of them, and I still cant play .oggs that I record
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> the w32codec pack will get you to play  90% of all the video files ive ever found.
[11:38] <lee___> And yet, others can
[11:38] <sureshot> magnetron: is it possible to get the same adminrights as root?
[11:39] <bod_> prince_jammys, gdm and gtk?
[11:39] <quakky> Guys I actually think i got my video drivers working, however i cant turn on visual effects..
[11:39] <magnetron> sureshot: yes, using the sudo command
[11:39] <magnetron> !sudo | sureshot
[11:39] <ubot3> sureshot: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> lee___,  thats interesting.
[11:39] <benpicco> julz: have you heked every folder on the drive? konqueror has a nice mode to show how much spacce what takes
[11:39] <faileas> is there any way to check what specific driver a device is using? i'm having problems getting a ralink RT73 card using the linux compat drivers to connect to a WPA/WPA2 access point. Its detecting it, so i figure the card works, but i can't get it connected even with what i am sure is the right password
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> lee___, Amarok uses xine so you need plugins for xine. try installing libxine1-plugins and libxine1-ffmpeg and it should then be able to play everything
[11:39] <prince_jammys> bod_: just gdm. i changed the value of "GraphicalTheme=" and "GraphicalThemes=" (for some reason i have two)  and restarted gdm
[11:39] <lee___> Dr_Willis: I recorded it, no player would play it, put it on-line, I can't play it but others can.
[11:40] <magnetron> faileas: is it wpa or wpa2?
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> lee___,  thats.. really interesting.  what did you record it with?
[11:40] <sureshot> magnetron. so if i want to have the files under the server katalogue how do i do?
[11:40] <RameEz> from where can i download irc client for ubuntu 7.04 ? and which is the best?
[11:40] <prince_jammys> bod_: i had it on something else and i changed to "Human"
[11:40] <julz> benpicco: yeah i have, i think it must be ubuntu though, cos the psp is telling me there's lots of space
[11:40] <kalkan> firefow zoom is slow, i dont know why, maybe i sould change a CPU?
[11:40] <lee___> Dr_Willis: I've used both Istanbul and recordmydesktop
[11:40] <faileas> magnetron: my router is fine with either. both don't work
[11:40] <magnetron> sureshot: did you read the link about sudo?
[11:40] <kalkan> or the ati driver?
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> lee___,  got a link to one of the ogg's ?
[11:41] <bod_> prince_jammys, wow, cheers dude,.,. thanks alot,.,.so in my script i will make a backup of Human then change the picture in the originall Human then set as Human,.,. how do i edit a text file with a script?
[11:41] <faileas> magnetron: its a RT73 based adaptor
[11:41] <sureshot> magnetron: yes i saw that but not sure how it works though
[11:41] <lee___> Dr_Willis: http://fractal.cluenet.org/~lee/out.ogg
[11:41] <magnetron> sureshot: it's well explained there.
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> lee___, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/multimedia/libogg.html (install with sudo apt-get install libogg)
[11:42] <prince_jammys> bod_: you know the background gdm image is stored in the theme folder itself.  look around in /usr/share/gdm/themes
[11:42] <unicum> anyone here who is using a laptop with a synaptics touchpad and hacked it via syndaemon?
[11:42] <magnetron> !anyone | unicum
[11:42] <sureshot> magnetron:oki ty i will look more then
[11:42] <ubot3> unicum: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[11:42] <Ramiz> from where can i download irc client for ubuntu 7.04 ? and which is the best?
[11:42] <lee___> ActionParsnip: E: Couldn't find package libogg
[11:43] <bod_> prince_jammys, im not really sure what you mean?
[11:43] <magnetron> Ramiz: use applications > add/remove . look in the internet category
[11:43] <benpicco> Ramiz: xchat, konversation and irssi are very got imo - yust use apt-get
[11:43] <prince_jammys> bod_: you want to change the background image for gdm, right?
[11:43] <bod_> yes
[11:43] <unicum> okay.. i just hacked my touchpad using "shm config > on" and session-option "syndaemon -t -d" now the pad is automatically off while typing. this is cool, though i'd like this option to handle "strg" and "alt" and stuff as different keys for use in shortcuts...
[11:43] <sami> lee___: apt-cache search ogg | grep -i codec
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> lee___,  Hmm . It plays here. :) goofy.
[11:43] <sami> == speex
[11:43] <julz> benpicco: yeah it's ubuntu alright, ps says the disc is clean, 978 megs free. can you reccoment something else to transfer stuff to it, cos i can't pput on more than 270 megs with gnome
[11:44] <bod_> prince_jammys, but i dont know what theme there gonna be using ?
[11:44] <bod_> so i have to decide
[11:44] <benpicco> julz: hmm, maybe format it?

[11:45] <lee___> sami: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59367/
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> I wonder how a Linux tool can record the desktop, but not play it.. recorder may be using its own lib/code i guess?
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis, surely instead of outputting to the screen it can output to a file
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis, check recordmydesktop
[11:46] <prince_jammys> bod_: i'll  be back, coffee break
[11:46] <bod_> prince_jammys, you download a gtk theme, you run my script -> that enables the gtk theme and sets a gdm login picture of my choice as default,.,. so it changes there theme and login screen
[11:46] <sami> lee___: apt-get install libtheora0
[11:46] <lee___> ActionParsnip: I used recordmydesktop, it records but not plays

[11:52] <Ramiz> ActionParsnip yeah that was the point thanks***
[11:52] <Ramiz> sorry
[11:53] <keiserr> btw, since torrent download files in arbitrary order and it preallocates space to the file, how i can resume such a file from wget, since it is not http or ftp, so... can i somewhat repair the file download with my torrent client so as i can shift to another http source?

[11:59] <bod_> onikitsune, ask away,. someone may be able to help

[12:00] <kate_mins> hello, I need help please, does it possible to extract specsific specific lines range from file  ? (for example let say i would like to extract lines 700-800 to new file) ?

[12:01] <endo602> I switched from Kubuntu to ubuntu and now my glftpd doesnt work, can someone help me?
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> quakky,  why did you install that package then? as far as i know thats only needed for the ATI video cards and compiz.
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> endo602, tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall glftpd
[12:02] <prince_jammys> bod_: i'm back. yeah, what you want to do is doable, but the gdm background change is a bit tricky. you'd have to temporarily move their current background file and replace it with yours.  then you would need an undo script, should they want the pic to be the way it was
[12:02] <quakky> Dr_Willis: I installed it because I was trying to fix my visual effects not working
[12:02] <faileas> i need to install a driver (which needs compiling) on a ubuntu system with neither net or a cd rom drive. would it work to compile it on another system with the same kernel, and use checkinstall to make it a package?

[12:02] <ActionParsnip> endo602, it'll reinstall the binarys but your config should be untouched
[12:02] <bod_> prince_jammys, i wrote the gdm login script a few months ago for a personal challenge, and it ha a revert script and everything works
[12:03] <onikitsune> so anyone got an idea?
[12:03] <prince_jammys> bod_: another way would be to copy their existing gdm theme, replacing the background and save it as a new gdm theme. then change the theme to yours
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> endo602, what errors do you get with it?
[12:03] <endo602> FN'ActionParsnip no such pkg
[12:03] <endo602> the errors I am getting is I cant login via pftp localhost

[12:05] <endo602> FN'ActionParsnip how do i get glftpd as a package?
[12:05] <prince_jammys> bod_: sed, ed , vi , awk ...
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> quakky,  You m ay just need to reconfigure your X server to use the nvidia driver again.   not sure about the effects issue. I always disable that eyecandy
[12:05] <bod_> prince_jammys, its a script, no user intervention if possible
[12:05] <prince_jammys> bod_: sed -i 's/GraphicalTheme=.*/GraphicalTheme=MyTheme/'

[12:06] <prince_jammys> alienbrain: can't be just anything with an = sign
[12:06] <quakky> Dr_Willis: i see..so i gotta reinstall all the nvidia drivers i guess right?
[12:07] <prince_jammys> alienbrain: there's other vars in the config file that have to stay the way they are
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> quakky,  not really.  they are proberly still isntalled you just need to reconfoigure yoru X server.
[12:07] <bod_> prince_jammys, whats with the slashes?

[12:09] <prince_jammys> bod_: the slashes separate what to search for, and what to substitute : 's/this/withthis/'
[12:09] <bod_> prince_jammys, ok, whats the 's for?
[12:09] <prince_jammys> bod_: substitute
[12:09] <bod_> prince_jammys, and the ' at the end?
[12:09] <bod_> oh
[12:10] <bod_> dont worry
[12:10] <prince_jammys> bod_: quotes around the whole thing, so the shell doesn't expand the *
[12:10] <onikitsune> when someone gets a chance, i need help with my sound...
[12:10] <cool^tom> Hi.
[12:10] <prince_jammys> bod_: actually the quotes may not be necessary here, but either way
[12:10] <cool^tom> I am not able to create a launcher on my desktop.  If i run the script from the terminal it works. But I cannot get it to run from the launcher.
[12:11] <endo602> FN'ActionParsnip thanks man
[12:11] <clarity> hey, the graphical console (vga=791 in /boot/grub/menu.lst) is causing ttys1-6 not to work
[12:11] <zod_> any one know of some must have progzs for Ubuntu 7.10?

[12:11] <Dr_Willis> zod_,  cowsay
[12:11] <clarity> is there a way i can either get that working or make my font smaller in the ttys1-6
[12:11] <bod_> prince_jammys, ok im still a little unsure about the command, there is no spaces in it? so when you get to the first / after the * will it not think thats part of the original name? wont it think its called .*/whatever
[12:11] <quakky> Dr_Willis: K so i reconfigured it..do i restart or just log out?
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> quakky,  either way.. or try testing with 'startx'
[12:12] <magnetron> zod_: look in apps > add/remove, you'll find a lot of stuff
[12:12] <zod_> kk tnx all
[12:12] <cool^tom> Is there any way to know what the problem is?  There are no errors in log/messages
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> zod_,  fortune | cowsay    -> hours of fun.

[12:12] <srikar>  DEsktop effects coudnt be enabled?????????I get this when my friend enables the extra option.Why is this??????
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> srikar,  first guess.. you dont have the proper video card drivers installed.
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> !info rocksndiamonds | zod_
[12:13] <srikar> nope its intel recent chipset
[12:13] <cool^tom> Which would be a the best forum to put my query to?
[12:13] <magnetron> zod_: planet penguin racer, nexuiz... check the games category in add&remove
[12:13] <bod_> hardware accelerator card not present or drivers srikar
[12:13] <zod_> ah oki i do that
[12:13] <cool^tom> Launcher not working in ubuntu.
[12:13] <zod_> but what is that cowsay?
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> zod_,  it draws a cow in ascii art.  that says stuff. :)
[12:14] <srikar> my friend has intel graphics onboad acceletator card , 256 mb
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> zod_,  great for in your .bashrc file.
[12:14] <endo602> I switched from Kubuntu to ubuntu and now my glftpd doesnt work, can someone help me?
[12:14] <zod_> how to get that cowsay? please in command line txt
[12:14] <Xamusk> is there any equivalent to MS Groove that also runs in Ubuntu?
[12:14] <crackhead25> hey all, i desperately need help trying to get my bluetooth to work through gutsy -- trying to get my motorola phone to connect so that i can access it, and use some program to import the contacts off of it.. who can help? I'm part way there, but i am having some issues...
[12:14] <Pici> zod_: sudo apt-get install cowsay
[12:14] <bod_> prince_jammys, eg when you move a file with sudo mv    sudo mv /a/file /new/home      theres a space to indicate the next part,,.but il trust you and try the comand when i get back from school,.,. gotta go in about 10 mins
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> zod_,  you never learned 'sudo apt-get install WHATEVER' yet? time to read the apt-get guides. :)
[12:14] <prince_jammys> bod_:the command would be this: sudo sed -i 's/GraphicalTheme=.*/GraphicalTheme=MyTheme/' /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom
[12:14] <srikar> my friend has intel graphics onboad acceletator card , 256 mb BOD
[12:15] <prince_jammys> bod_: try it with some tests
[12:15] <prince_jammys> bod_: paste this whole thing in your terminal and see:  sed 's/little/bit/' <<< 'ok im still a little unsure'
[12:15] <bod_> should read still a bit unsure?
[12:15] <prince_jammys> bod_: yes
[12:15] <cool^tom> I tried googling but the only one ig get is someting to the effect that ORACLE_HOME was not set.  I'm not sure what variables to set.
[12:16] <cool^tom> Launchers work fine in Fedora.
[12:16] <zod_> no i cant the sudo apt-get install whatever yet, where to get that apt-get guides?
[12:16] <prince_jammys> bod_: but you won't use the <<< because you're reading off a file.  you use sed -i and put the file name at the end
[12:16] <crackhead25> !bluetooth | crackhead25
[12:17] <Pici> zod_: Do you have an internet connection on your Ubuntu computer?
[12:17] <zod_> well this is my ubuntu computer
[12:17] <crackhead25> Anybody familiar and using some bluetooth stuff??
[12:17] <bod_> prince_jammys,     sed 's/still a little unsure/sure/' <<<'ok im still a little unsure'
[12:17] <aurehman> how can i check the duration of my movie in ffmpeg... is there any parameter to check the duration of file
[12:17] <bod_> is that right?
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> !apt | zod_
[12:17] <ubot3> zod_: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[12:17] <zod_> and im only using the ubuntu not win anymore
[12:17] <prince_jammys> bod_: ha
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> zod_,  learning the ins and outs of the apt-get stuff.. is a must do. :)

[12:18] <zod_> ah i do that mate, tnx for great tips
[12:18] <quakky> Dr_Willis: Hey, I think everything seems to be working correctly...what "session" is the one that should be working properly?
[12:18] <keiserr> hi how can i add a direct link as source to a partially completed torrent download, is there any client for that in ubuntu?
[12:18] <cool^tom> Anybody knows why a perticular program works on the terminal and not with a launcher?
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> zod_,  im still learning the more interesting parts of it. check out the 'apt-file'  command also.
[12:18] <prince_jammys> bod_: becomes "ok im sure"
[12:18] <zod_> ah i do
[12:18] <quakky> Dr_Willis: actually from what i can tell, the fan on my videocard is spinning at max, so im pretty sure something is wrong
[12:18] <Jack_Sparrow> This is gonna be a great day..  I finally took the time to figure out how to kill off the caps-lock...
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> quakky,  Huh?  sessions are normally made for each diffrent widow manager you got going.
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> quakky,  with my nvidia cards, the fan goes real fast, Unless im using the actual 'nvidia' driver,  the nv driver will make it  spin fast.
[12:19] <bod_> cool,.,. oh yer,. for me two,., cool, ok i trust your command now prince_jammys,.,. but i cant write the script yet, g2g to school in a min,.,. lol,.,. cheers for your help (and patience) ;~)
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> quakky,  check the restricted-manager driver tool see what it says its using.
[12:19] <quakky> Dr_Willis: ok let me try reconfiguring this thing again lol
[12:19] <onikitsune> alright, i have a tosheba satellite x205, jsut got gusty on here and am looking for s way to fix my sound, i can hear sound but low and it will not rec my headphones... i have spent 9 hours on the forums today alone...

[12:21] <bod_> zod_, man apt-get       (run that in terminal)
[12:21] <zod_> any one know where to get free Linux training books on the web? (eBooks)
[12:21] <prince_jammys> bod_: regular expressions ... the dot means anycharacter. the * means zero or more of whatever came before the * (so .* means zero or more of anything, or just "anything")
[12:21] <bod_> zod_, google for ubuntu community docs
[12:22] <Dr_Willis> zod_,  the samba-doc packatge has several books on samba. the abs-guide is a must get and read.. then theres the HOWTO docs.

[12:22] <BuFF> empty ...
[12:22] <Dr_Willis> zod_,  and the ubuntu training wiki   page has a 300+ page on ubuntu book in PDF format, for like a class on ubuntu
[12:23] <prince_jammys> bod_: it's different from the * you use in your shell (that's called a glob)

[12:29] <Dr_Willis> daniel_lv,  :) oops....
[12:29] <AndrewB> daniel_lv: I would advise changing your password now
[12:29] <daniel_lv> oops :)
[12:29] <crackhead25> scorpian: there's no difference between synaptic gui and apt-get installs of things..
[12:29] <crackhead25> scorpian: that's def. not the issue
[12:30] <prince_jammys> kate_mins: sed -n '700,800 p' source_file >newfile
[12:30] <lunaphyte_> why might volume groups disappear when upgrading from 6.1 to 7.0.4 using do-release-upgrade?
[12:30] <scorpian> yea
[12:30] <bod_> crackhead25, not quite true,.,. u can specify more options in apt-get then you can in synaptic but essentially synaptic is just a frontend for apt-get
[12:30] <scorpian> dude i know tat i am searching for the location of package
[12:30] <bod_> oh and crackhead25 could you change your nick please,. this is a family room
[12:30] <scorpian> bod_ is presise
[12:31] <bod_> *nod*
[12:31] <kate_mins> prince_jammys: thanks
[12:31] <crackhead25> bod_: why is my nickname not family oriented? it means many things. humpty dumpty had a crack in his head.
[12:31] <kate_mins> Dr_Willis: thanks also
[12:31] <bod_> lunaphyte_, try not skipping 6.6
[12:31] <CoSinecure> Hey all
[12:32] <scorpian> sudo apt-get install gnome-vfs-obexftp
[12:32] <scorpian> tye tat
[12:32] <crackhead25> scorpian: i've already got that installed.
[12:32] <bod_> crackhead25, im only trying to keep the peace ,. it could be seen as offensive,. (and i no humpty dumpty is not what you are insinuating by that nick)
[12:32] <scorpian> make sure u uninstall all previous packages
[12:32] <crackhead25> bod_: you should know that humpty dumpty and the philosophical was what i was insinuating, then. i dont and have never done drugs. thanks.
[12:33] <crackhead25> scorpian: which "previous" packages?
[12:33] <steve176> Hi, I have a Samsung 225BW, but am having trouble getting it working at 1680x1050 on Gutsy. All I get is a screen with grey fuzzy lines
[12:33] <bod_> crackhead25, then shouldnt it be crackedhead25?
[12:33] <scorpian> the ones u might have done by snaptic
[12:33] <elbermungsterses> hi people, i have a problem with update manager. could any of you help please?
[12:33] <bod_> !anyone | elbermungsterses
[12:33] <ubot3> elbermungsterses: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[12:33] <bazhang> elbermungsterses: could you elaborate please
[12:34] <crackhead25> bod_: you're the first person to make any comment in more than 8 mos. of my using the nick, and no, it could be crackhead = a head with a crack in it.
[12:34] <faileas> elbermungsterses: whats the specific problem?
[12:34] <LadyNikon> heh
[12:34] <sebe> moin
[12:34]  * scorpian crackhead n bod_ are in a brawl
[12:34] <crackhead25> scorpian: i dont get it. which previous packages by synaptic? you're just asking me to sudo apt-get install with no special conditions,w hich is the same thing the synaptic call did..
