[07:19] <marabout> DesEi: just to clarify I will be using the xorg.conf in hardy since Intrepid does not have the drivers for my card within itself right?
[07:20] <raylu> asim: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.passthru.php
[07:20] <m1nd> Is anyone aware of a fix for the mouse click issues in 8.10? My mouse loses the ability to click every so often and I have to restart X to get it's functionality back.
[07:20] <raylu> asim: see the first comment
[07:20] <rccu> m1nd: 8.10.?
[07:20] <nsadmin> tmurder: somehow get a list of package files with their paths on the mirror
[07:21] <jim_p> what does "apt-cache rdepends package" do?
[07:21] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo aptitude update
[07:21] <m1nd> rccu: yes, release 8.10; ubuntu 8.10
[07:21] <rccu> m1nd: that's way too cool
[07:21] <nsadmin> then download those to a dir, then install everything in that dir
[07:21] <raylu> jim_p: apt-cache --help. i believe rdepends = reverse dependencies
[07:21] <DasEi> marabout: 87% right: hardy and ibex differ in graphics-solution, but ibex still accepts manual config via xorg.conf ( a file), located /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:21] <asim> raylu: I didn't get it exactly what exactly it means, plz describe if you can
[07:21] <Don_Miguel> raylu, Thank you
[07:21] <tmurder> nsadmin: bah. aptitude did it. i thought apt-get was the backend for aptitude... whatever.
[07:21] <Stevethepirate> Hey, soz. Internet died. :/ Um, the thing is, I wish to fix my MBR, but I can't download a ubuntu live cd [I have a backtrack live cd tho' (which I'm running off atm)]
[07:21] <m1nd> rccu: not really. it's an issue with xinerama though, but I'm using two video cards and 3 monitors so I have no choice but to use xinerama.
[07:21] <raylu> asim: apache has no access to /bin/sh, so it can't run anything
[07:22] <nsadmin> apt-get was originally a test of the libs
[07:22] <Foncy> Stevethepirate, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[07:22] <jinja-sheep> Is there a command that'll make a list of all packages I have installed?
[07:22] <rww> !clone | jinja-sheep
[07:22] <raylu> asim: because apache is running in a chrooted environment to prevent access to files outside it's directories
[07:22] <Foncy> Stevethepirate, I happen to have to solve the same issue later, so that's what I found :)
[07:22] <jim_p> raylu, which means in plain words? if i set "apt-cache rdepends firefox" i get a ton of packages. does it mean they depend on ff?
[07:22] <asim> raylu: I think it has because when i use exec("whoami") it returns with some results
[07:22] <HellFire-Au> I have my linux box setup as a nat, gets internet connectivity through a wireless usb dongle ra0 (connected to a router) and has a single xbox 360 connected via ethernet eth0. Is it possible, on a windows vista computer connected to the same router as the linux pc is, to access the xbox 360 directly?
[07:22] <Stevethepirate> Foncy: Um, I still don't have an ubuntu live cd
[07:22] <raylu> jinja-sheep: or, just dpkg -l
[07:22] <Stevethepirate> Only a backtrack 3 disck
[07:22] <raylu> jim_p: i think, i'm not sure. again, apt-cache --help
[07:23] <Foncy> Stevethepirate, there's more ways described.
[07:23] <nownot> so if i have two network devices say eth0 and eth1 how can i make all traffic go through eth0 except for bittorent which i want to feed through eth1
[07:23] <nsadmin> you can lead a pirate to a ship, but you can make it pillage :)
[07:23] <DasEi> jinja-sheep: dpkg-query -W
[07:23] <jim_p> raylu,    rdepends - Show reverse dependency information for a package               very helpful :P
[07:23] <Hemebond> Hello. I'm trying to bind new keys to the Run Application dialog and can't remember the command. Some info says it's in gnome-panel-control but that doesn't exist on my machine. Any ideas?
[07:23] <raylu> asim: try shell_exec, then
[07:23] <Foncy> nsadmin, you didn't answer my question :)
[07:23] <konzept> Need Some Help: I installed ubuntu 8.10 on my second computer and im getting an error after install is complete, it goes thru the install fine and when i reboot the computer and remove the CD it restarts which is fine then when it starts back up it goes right into Busybox it says /dev/disk/by-uuid/(insert random numbers here) does not exist. Dropping to a shell! So while i was installing i used the manual partitioner to set 400 gigs to be
[07:23] <konzept> used for ubuntu and i have a 100 gb backup of files i need to keep, im not sure where the problem started or how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[07:23] <rww> Hemebond: the Run Application dialog's command, you mean?
[07:23] <nsadmin> Foncy: oh, I didn't?
[07:24] <konzept> The file backup typ[e is NTFS
[07:24] <Hemebond> rww: Yeah.
[07:24] <Stevethepirate> My experience of super grub disk isn't sooo good :/
[07:24] <Foncy> nsadmin, nope. I wanted to know how often you're here :)
[07:24] <Stevethepirate> Isn't there a way to chroot into my ubuntu partition?
[07:24] <Stevethepirate> Or something akin to that.
[07:24] <jinja-sheep> raylu + DasEi + rww:  Thanks.
[07:24] <DasEi> marabout: so try to get on the live-surface of hardy and then ask again here how to copy the xorg.conf
[07:24] <m1nd> konzept: I had this issue when I built my new machine, 8.10 worked fine and 8.04 got busybox. My issue turned out to be lack of support for my raid controller.
[07:25] <nsadmin> Foncy: not hardly at all... I'm usually playing muh bass
[07:25] <Foncy> Aw, that's too bad...
[07:25] <Hemebond> rww: Nevermind, I found something.
[07:25] <Don_Miguel> raylu, I did    sudo aptitude update   as you suggested  ... do I need to repeat with   sudo aptitude clean   and then AGAIN download the update package files ??
[07:25] <jinja-sheep> rww:  If you have the authorization, correct the !clone message.  The --disable-columns is incorrect. :>
[07:25] <Hemebond> rww: I didn't realise I could rebind it in gconf-editor.
[07:25] <konzept> m1nd Aye this is a new box, ive tried using 8.10 live cd so far and the alternate aswell
[07:25] <raylu> Don_Miguel: no, you can try just removing that one file
[07:25] <nsadmin> Foncy: is not :P I like playing bass :P
[07:25] <Foncy> Stevethepirate, the link from ubottu didn't work for you either?
[07:26] <Foncy> nsadmin, if you see it from that point of view you're right, for sure.
[07:26] <rww> jinja-sheep: The command to submit a factoid correction is "!no, factoidname is <reply> new factoid text". Or wander into #ubuntu-ops and let them know.
[07:26] <nsadmin> Foncy: how do you see it?
[07:26] <konzept> m1nd i think it has something to do with the partitioner
[07:26] <asim> raylu:I used shell_exec, blank screen
[07:26] <Stevethepirate> !fixgrub
[07:26] <marabout> DasEi: okay i'm d/l hardy now but it looks like it will be bigger than 699mb is that correct as my cd's are 700mb max
[07:26] <Sa[i]nT> Is awn the only dock app worth anything? Or is there some other good ones?
[07:26] <Stevethepirate> Let me check that out
[07:26] <m1nd> konzept: try 8.04; you may have better luck. Or, if you know whats missing you could try custom patching the kernel; but things get ugly when you play with ubuntu's kernel.
[07:26] <Foncy> nsadmin, I was just hoping to reach you here when I'm attending to the mic issue :)
[07:26] <m1nd> konzept: why do you say the partitioner.
[07:27] <itai-michaelson> guys quick question to change permission for folders to 777, the syntax is chmod -R 777 /path/to/dir , correct? do i need sudo if it's in my /home?
[07:27] <nsadmin> oh, well... that depends on when that's gonna be... you could always try /msging me I suppose
[07:27] <konzept> m1nd, because i set 400 gbs to use ubuntu on the drive i mounted it as root and ext3, then the 2nd part is sha5 and ntfs
[07:27] <m1nd> itai-michaelson: no.
[07:27] <Stevethepirate> I'll give super grub disk a bash (no pun intended)
[07:28] <raylu> itai-michaelson: -R is recursive
[07:28] <konzept> m1nd ive ubuntu installed on this computer before just fine
[07:28] <Stevethepirate> and then take it from there
[07:28] <Don_Miguel> raylu, how best to remove the file ??    { E: /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-modules_5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3_all.deb: files list file for package `xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support' is missing final newline }      with the terminal ? or ??
[07:28] <Foncy> nsadmin, I will, thanks :)
[07:28] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo rm /var/...
[07:28] <rww> itai-michaelson: yes, if you also want everything in the directory to be changed. If you own everything in your home directory, you don't need sudo, otherwise you will.
[07:28] <itai-michaelson> m1nd, no as in my syntax is incorrect or bo as in i don't need sudo?
[07:28] <itai-michaelson> rww, raylu thanks
[07:28] <Hemebond> I just remembered my other question: if "/srv contains site-specific data which is served by this system." why is the default Apache root /var/www/?
[07:29] <m1nd> itai-michaelson: chmod 777 /pathtofyle
[07:29] <konzept> m1nd i guess my question would be can i use that extra 100 gbs as a ubuntu filesystem without formatting the data on it? i think that may work
[07:29] <m1nd> konzept: what is your boot parittion? what fstype?
[07:29] <Don_Miguel> raylu, Thank you ... going to try that  ( getting some much needed  cli  practice this morning )
[07:29] <konzept> m1nd the filesystem is freshly formatted to ext3
[07:29] <m1nd> konzept: yes of course; you would edit /etc/fstab
[07:30] <Foncy> I think you can't use NTFS with Ubuntu
[07:30] <itai-michaelson> raylu, i'm following this guid: http://www.phpbb.com/support/documents.php?mode=install&version=3#require , in quick installation step 4 , it asks for changing dir permissions to 777, will i need to add -R here?
[07:30] <Foncy> Or I just got the question wrong :)
[07:30] <rww> !ntfs | Foncy
[07:30] <raylu> itai-michaelson: ew, phpbb. no
[07:30] <Foncy> So it does work... okay okay.
[07:30] <konzept> Question is if i can conver ntfs to ubuntu filesystem without losing data
[07:30] <Xully> Hello everybody, I got a quick question, I am looking to buy a laptop/notebook, I would love to buy one that has ubuntu operating-system build-in, any recommendation about a certian laptop brand, or website, I would appreciate it. I want a real good one.
[07:30] <itai-michaelson> raylu, :-) thanks
[07:31] <m1nd> konzept: i really dbout that...
[07:31] <m1nd> konzept: i would backup; format and restore
[07:31] <itai-michaelson> raylu, you familiar with phpbb?
[07:31] <rww> konzept: no, you can't. Backup your data somewhere else, reformat the partition, then move your data back.
[07:31] <konzept> m1nd Anyway using busybox to transfer the files to another computer?
[07:31] <Foncy> konzept, you want to change the filesystem from NTFS to ext3 for exampke, without using data?
[07:31] <raylu> itai-michaelson: unfortunately, yes. would you consider SMF?
[07:31] <Foncy> *losing
[07:31] <konzept> foncy correct
[07:32] <Foncy> If they say there's no way...
[07:32] <jinja-sheep> Is it possible to autojoin all the said channels in XChat?
[07:32] <Xully> any advice?
[07:32] <raylu> Xully: thinkpads are always nice (though they don't come with ubuntu)
[07:32] <m1nd> konzept: i have no idea... but there is no reason why you cant boot livecd and copy that way..
[07:32] <itai-michaelson> raylu, i want to host a very simple basic discussion forum on my home server, is SMF a better choice?
[07:32] <Foncy> I would trust them I think :)
[07:32] <asim> raylu: u there?
[07:32] <m1nd> konzept: just mount your partition.
[07:32] <nsadmin> Foncy: so what do you want to use your mic for?
[07:32] <konzept> m1nd i wasnt aware if live cd would let me access the network
[07:32] <raylu> itai-michaelson: if your users are more familiar with phpbb, go for it. or, if you're already partway through the install. otherwise, i prefer SMF
[07:32] <raylu> asim: hi
[07:32] <m1nd> konzept: should s'long as your network card is fairly generic
[07:32] <Foncy> nsadmin, VoIP in the first place.
[07:33] <konzept> m1nd killer nic
[07:33] <nsadmin> oh, you like to talk :)
[07:33] <asim> raylu: I used shell_exec, not working , giving blank screen only
[07:33] <konzept> m1nd gonna give it a shot i will update when im done, can i ide in here?
[07:33] <konzept> idle
[07:33] <rww> konzept: yes
[07:33] <konzept> rww thx
[07:33] <Foncy> In fact I do! In that case I'm a stereotype of woman ;)
[07:33] <m1nd> konzept: lol thats what irc is all about.
[07:33] <itai-michaelson> raylu, my users are not familiar with anything! i'll have a look at smf
[07:33] <Sa[i]nT> Is awn the only dock app worth anything? Or is there some other good ones?
[07:33] <raylu> asim: doesn't that mean it worked? or should ffmpeg produce some output?
[07:34] <m1nd> konzept: won't be around later; but good luck.
[07:34] <jinja-sheep> Is it possible to autojoin all the said channels in XChat upon the initiation?
[07:34] <rww> m1nd: there are certain Ubuntu channels that aren't supposed to be idled in. #ubuntu-ops comes to mind.
[07:34] <nsadmin> Foncy: why do you suppose that is?
[07:34] <nsadmin> for most women that is
[07:34] <HermanDE> Foncy: ....  I'm Quadraphonic.....
[07:34] <m1nd> rww: I was being sarcastic.
[07:34] <asim> raylu: no its not working I have checked many times
[07:34] <jinja-sheep> rww:  I have done my part with !clone in #ops.  FYI. :O
[07:34] <Foncy> nsadmin, I don't know... people say women like to talk, don't they?
[07:34] <saler> :)
[07:35] <raylu> asim: then i'm out of ideas. you could try #php
[07:35] <nsadmin> yeah but that's just people talking about talking...\
[07:35] <asim> raylu: hmm oki thank for your help
[07:35] <Foncy> Heh, true... I really don't know... I guess I'm just a very social type.
[07:35] <itai-michaelson> raylu, smf runs on lamp as well, right?
[07:35] <raylu> itai-michaelson: of course. what doesn't? :P
[07:36] <Foncy> And for the other women: Maybe they like to talk to talk about others, or something..
[07:36] <nsadmin> Foncy, mm, the plot thickens :)
[07:36] <Foncy> I just don't know, let's keep it to that..
[07:36] <marabout> DesEi: falling asleep waiting/ for the CD to doanload - Thanks for your help
[07:36] <marabout> Desei: **download
[07:37] <raylu> marabout: it's more interesting watching a torrent download :D
[07:37] <Foncy> nsadmin, the plot thickens? Is that some kind of weird saying I don't know, or did I find another word I didn't know yet? :)
[07:37] <nsadmin> sometimes I wonder who is enjoying themselves more, the gossip columists or the people who read them :)
[07:38] <nsadmin> Foncy: which word?
[07:38] <Foncy> The more important question is: If there's people who are happy without gossip at all, why does it exist? Just for fun?  I didn't really get what you meant, but I guess it wasn't really important.
[07:39] <raylu> Foncy: and i'll give you the nobel peace prize for the answer
[07:39] <kaiser10123> im using xfce and did something it just made both panels disappear how do i get them back
[07:39] <Foncy> raylu, naa... it's dumb to say that only dumb people like gossip :)
[07:39] <rww> Foncy, nsadmin: Entertaining as your conversation is, consider taking it to #ubuntu-offtopic. #ubuntu is supposed to stick to actual support topics ;)
[07:39] <raylu> Foncy: gossip is dumb, no?
[07:39] <raylu> :
[07:39] <raylu> *:(, rww is a party pooper
[07:39] <rww> raylu: yeah, I feel bad. It really was fun to read.
[07:39] <Xully> excuse me
[07:39] <roccity_> kaiser10123, try typing alt+f2
[07:39] <Foncy> raylu, just because something people like is dumb, doesn't make them dumb.
[07:40] <SlimG> Does Ubuntu and Firefox take advantage of a proxy.pak file served by "wpad-url" from a ISC dhcp-server?
[07:40] <roccity_> and then type xfce-panel
[07:40] <Foncy> rww, sorry, you're right ofc :)
[07:40] <nsadmin> raylu, sometimes I get the feeling that women use talking to go through feeling states
[07:40] <blah569> Is there like a "wxWidgets" method for GCC to write applications for Ubuntu?
[07:40] <Don_Miguel> raylu, did   sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-modules_5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3_all.deb   and   rechecked for updates, then went to  [install]  and AGAIN got  that same error message of:    E: /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-modules_5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3_all.deb: files list file for package `xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support' is missing final newline  ... so I have cleaned and updated and removed what SEEMS to be the offending file ... and I am back at square one ...
[07:40] <raylu> SlimG: Did you mean: proxy.pac iis wpad-url
[07:40] <Don_Miguel>  but I am still game if you have more such good ideas ... ??
[07:40] <marabout> exit
[07:41] <Xully> could somebody check this for me, and tell me is this Euro? I can't tell which currency country is it. http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsnb_m1330?c=uk&l=en&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1&~oid=uk~en~20211~janu_xpsnb_m1330_n01x3301~~
[07:41] <Foncy> rww, philosophy isn't something for this time of the day anyway, so never mind :P
[07:41] <b1n42y> hi all, i have random wireless dropouts unassocaiated with signal strenght, last time it happened was when I locked my laptop ctr+L, can only get connection back when i restart router is there anything i can try next time ?
[07:41] <kaiser10123> roccity_: thats not right command for panel
[07:41] <marabout> leavin good night
[07:41] <Foncy> So, nsadmin, to stay ontopic... are your plugs ready for my ports, or do we have to install some packages first?
[07:41] <raylu> Don_Miguel: well, apparently, they weren't very good ideas :P. let me look into xulrunner for a moment
[07:41] <Foncy> Just kidding...
[07:42] <HellFire-Au> I have my linux box setup as a nat, gets internet connectivity through a wireless usb dongle ra0 (connected to a router) and has a single xbox 360 connected via ethernet eth0. Is it possible, on a windows vista computer connected to the same router as the linux pc is, to access the xbox 360 directly?
[07:42] <nsadmin> Foncy: oh my god :) my eyes are up HERE (points)
[07:42] <Foncy> Heh.
[07:42] <raylu> Don_Miguel: aptitude -s remove xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support
[07:43] <raylu> Don_Miguel: could you pastebin the output of that?
[07:43] <Don_Miguel> raylu, thank you .. I thought they were GREAT ,,, just maybe not yet getting to the culprit
[07:43] <dragon33> silly question: how do i add the "places" home folder to the desktop as a shortcut? thanks'
[07:43] <roccity_> kaiser10123, sorry it should be xfce4-panel
[07:43] <Don_Miguel> raylu, will do
[07:43] <nsadmin> Foncy: don't you think your mic will work better when it's warmed up slowly?
[07:44] <kaiser10123> roccity_: thank dont know what i did for it to disappear
[07:44] <jinja-sheep> I tried to make a USB startup disk using ubuntu-hardy-heron-x86-mini.iso -- It didn't success.  Any idea how I can do this?
[07:44] <raylu> b1n42y: name of your wireless device? eth1? wlan0?
[07:44] <raylu> jinja-sheep: startup disk = ?
[07:44] <Foncy> *grins* Maybe... didn't try yet.
[07:44] <raylu> dragon33: places home folder?
[07:44] <Barridus> jinja-sheep, I also had that issue.  I believe I rectified it by deleting and recreating the partition on the USB drive with Gparted
[07:45] <nsadmin> Foncy: how far did you get in your install?
[07:45] <jinja-sheep> raylu:  It's there under Admin / Pref.  Good to start Ubuntu from USB
[07:45] <b1n42y> raylu: eth1
[07:45] <Foncy> nsadmin, the windows-install you mean?
[07:45] <raylu> HellFire-Au: it may be possible using iptables/iproute, but i have no experience with that
[07:45] <jinja-sheep> Barridus:  What do you mean?  How do you place ISO on it afterward?
[07:45] <nsadmin> yeah
[07:45] <raylu> b1n42y: you could try sudo dhclient eth1, or disabling and reenabling wireless in the NetworkManager applet
[07:46] <raylu> jinja-sheep: huh...?
[07:46] <HellFire-Au> raylu: Cheers, i'll check that out
[07:46] <Foncy> If I started already I wouldn't be here anymore, but installing, you know?  Uh... Eh... ?  I was referring to... "Create a USB Startup Disk"
[07:47] <dragon33> running v8.04 ubuntu.. how can i add to my desktop the shortcut for "Places/home folder" thanks
[07:47] <nickrud> jinja-sheep, were you looking for a working clone?
[07:47] <jim_p> can you guys enter ubuntuforums? i get a 503 error
[07:48] <raylu> Don_Miguel: oh... you're halfway through an install
[07:48] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo aptitude install
[07:48] <jinja-sheep> nickrud:  I'm trying to install Ubuntu using Minimal Disk.  However, the laptop do not have any disc reader therefore I'm trying to do this by USB.
[07:49] <raylu> Don_Miguel: that should get you back to the stuff about newlines, perl module, xulrunner, but i'd like to see the rest of the output regardless
[07:49] <rww> !usb | jinja-sheep: have you read this already?
[07:49] <raylu> !unetbootin | jinja-sheep

[07:49] <nickrud> jinja-sheep, a well I can't help with that :) but   dpkg --get-selections >mypackages , move mypackages, dpkg --set-selections && apt-get dselect upgrade to clone the packages afterwards ;)
[07:50] <Don_Miguel> raylu, should I discard the previous ? the terminal is asking "Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]"
[07:50] <nickrud> jinja-sheep, erm, dpkg --set-selections < mypackages that is
[07:50] <jinja-sheep> nickrud:  Oh I don't want to clone the packages.   Default Ubuntu came with several packages that I don't want. >_>
[07:50] <nickrud> jinja-sheep, heresy.
[07:51] <Foncy> lol
[07:51] <Robbie_Crash> is there a way to alias a hostname to another hostname, not its IP address? IE: I have a 25 character dynamic host that I ssh to, and I would rather be able to type "ssh home" than the full thing, but since it's a dynamic IP I can't add it by IP to /etc/hosts
[07:51] <hellhound> does anyone know why i get the error "Could not laugh menu item  Failed to execute child process LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4lcompat.so (No such files or directory)" but typing in the terminal "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4lcompat.so kopete" it works perfectly

[07:56] <redduck666> can i make gnome cycle only through certain windows?
[07:56] <raylu> Don_Miguel: (sorry about the wait, went to get a snack)
[07:56] <yoyit2> rww: have any other sugestions?
[07:56] <yoyit2> raylu: wow your on allot!!
[07:56] <redduck666> (i have two monitors, i'd like windows on one to be fixed while working on the other one)
[07:57] <raylu> yoyit2: only around this time everyday
[07:57] <Don_Miguel> raylu, if this EVER works ALL is forgiven !!
[07:57] <yoyit2> raylu:  haha, ok.. just u seem to always be on.. r u an admin?
[07:57] <raylu> yoyit2: admin of what? no
[07:58] <yoyit2> raylu: k, nvrmind
[07:58]  * nsadmin is admin of his own box!
[07:58] <eseven73> lol
[07:58]  * rww is also admin of nsadmin's box
[07:58] <nickrud> rflol
[07:58]  * raylu is the admin of nsadmin's box too
[07:58] <yoyit2> raylu:  can u help me with my SD card... its read only, how can i write to it (its not the switch on it)
[07:58] <nsadmin> only if eye let u
[07:58] <raylu> yoyit2: how is it mounted?
[07:59] <nickrud> two points for nsadmin
[07:59]  * nsadmin needs the points too
[07:59] <yoyit2> raylu ??? im new to ubuntu, i just plugged it in (via card reader on my lpatop)
[08:00] <raylu> yoyit2: run "mount" in a terminal and find the relevant line. how are you accessing it?
[08:00] <lwizardl> how do i rename all files in a directory ending with _1.jpg to something else?
[08:00] <lwizardl> looking to do it inside terminal
[08:00] <nsadmin> lwizardl there's a perl script called rename
[08:00] <Don_Miguel> raylu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100135/
[08:01] <nsadmin> or you can get a list of all files ending with that and iterate over that list
[08:01] <yoyit2> raylu:  just thru the desktop icon
[08:01] <Tukang> hi
[08:01] <raylu> lwizardl: find -name "*_1.jpg" -exec "mv {} {}somethingelse \;"
[08:02] <nsadmin> that would keep the _1.jpg and make it _1.jpgsomethingelse
[08:02] <raylu> Don_Miguel: what the...?
[08:02] <nsadmin> you have to cut that off the end first
[08:02] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
[08:03] <raylu> nsadmin: true, but he never specified how he wanted them renamed :P
[08:03] <nsadmin> so there's a sudo aptitude reallydangerous-upgrade?
[08:03] <raylu> nsadmin: dist-upgrade
[08:03] <nsadmin> oh :)
[08:03] <rww> nsadmin: safe-upgrade is the snazzy new term for upgrade in aptitude.
[08:03] <raylu> nsadmin: there's also semi-dangerous-but-usually-safe-upgrade
[08:04] <yoyit2> raylu: its already mounted.. i can put files on it, just not delete them
[08:04] <LawnGnome_> Now you tell me
[08:04] <jinja-sheep> rww + raylu:  Cheers.  UNetbooting are a nifty tool. :>
[08:04] <raylu> yoyit2: that's strange. have you found the relevant output from "mount" yet?
[08:04] <LawnGnome_> 'back in a bit

[08:08] <jason> hello peeps
[08:08] <nsadmin> more tips #ubuntu+1
[08:09] <nsadmin> sleeves and rings too
[08:09] <jason> anybody up to help a 1st time user
[08:09] <hellhound> are you able to pass "LD_PRELOAD" options one the command line of a menu item under applications?
[08:09] <rww> !anyone | jason
[08:09] <Maggie> Plz help .... I am not able to open Computer in places on my Hardy!
[08:09] <yoyit2> raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/100150/
[08:10] <nsadmin> Maggie: you have a hardy?!
[08:10] <raylu> hellhound: what application?
[08:10] <rww> Maggie: what happens when you try? Do you get an error message or anything?
[08:10] <jason> how to I copy the .so file in firefox plugin directory says "permission denied" but im the only user
[08:10] <hellhound> raylu kopete (yes i am running it in gnome
[08:10] <Maggie> nsadmin, yes I use ubuntu 8.04
[08:11] <raylu> yoyit2: so when you click the icon on your desktop, i'm guessing it takes you to /media/disk?
[08:11] <raylu> hellhound: you could just do "LD_PRELOAD=... kopete" in a terminal
[08:11] <jason> sorry the .so file is flashplayer x64 that came from th TARBALL
[08:12] <hellhound> raylu:  yes i know but i want to create a menu shortcut and also put it in the startup sessions
[08:12] <raylu> jason: the permission denied is because of where you want to copy it to, not where you're copying fro
[08:12] <Maggie> @rww "Nautilus could not handle location:computer"
[08:12] <raylu> hellhound: no idea; i don't use the menu :P
[08:12] <jason> I know but what do i need to do to be able to copy it there
[08:12] <Seveas> good morning
[08:12] <rww> hellhound: right-click your gnome menu and select "Edit Menus". Navigate to where the kopete entry is (probably Internet?) select it, and press "Properties". In the "Command" field in the window that appears, put the following: LDPRELOAD="stuffgoeshere" commandname goes here (i.e., the LDPRELOAD variable declaration, then a space, then the command that's already there).
[08:12] <raylu> jason: where are you copying it? and why?
[08:13] <Maggie> @rww "Nautilus could not handle computer:locations."
[08:13] <jason> Im trying to install the flashplayer 10 plugin for x64 firefox which is in user/firefox 3.0
[08:13] <raylu> Seveas: you have a screwy irc client
[08:13] <rww> Maggie: do you mean `` Could not display "computer:///". Nautilus cannot handle "computer" locations.`?
[08:13] <Seveas> raylu, 9:13 and xchat/znc. You could just ask :)
[08:13] <jason> and its in the plugin folder
[08:13] <raylu> Seveas: that's not as fun
[08:14] <yoyit2> raylu: yes it does
[08:14] <Don_Miguel> raylu,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/100153/
[08:14] <Maggie> rww, yes
[08:14] <raylu> yoyit2: in a terminal, "touch /media/disk/test && rm /media/disk/test"
[08:14] <JaZ969> umm
[08:14] <Seveas> raylu, my CTCP VERSION response is known to cause reboots ;)
[08:14] <Lars> New Question: I am trying to set up dual displays. I have updated my system, installed nvidia-settings, currently my GPU-0 is detected both displays (an Acer LCD registering as DFP-1 - (DFP-1) and an HP LCD as CRT-0 - (HP vs17) ), I currently have TwinView enabled, both screens positioned correctly, and all of that. The Acer however is not getting a signal, period.
[08:15] <JaZ969> I'm trying to install musictracker (a plugin for pidgin), and it compiles, but when I type make, it says there isn't a makefile
[08:15] <hellhound> rww:  thank you.  when i do that i get "Could not launch menu item  Failed to execute child process LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4lcompat.so (no such file or directory)" and i copied the command straight out my terminal after successfully running it there
[08:15] <walt> I am running some KDE apps under Gnome, and inside them my cursor is very large. How do I set this up? I have the QT3 and QT4 settings applications,  but I see no entry for setting the cursor size
[08:15] <raylu> Don_Miguel: like i said, -s won't do anything, it just tells you what would happen if you did it without -s
[08:15] <raylu> Don_Miguel: i guess i didn't quite make that clear
[08:15] <jason> lars u have to enable x something
[08:15] <jason> Hold on ill see what its called again
[08:15] <Lars> jason: I don't see an x something /sarcasm
[08:15] <Lars> :D
[08:15] <miranda_psi> Jaz969: can tou put up a copy of the contents of the main directory in past.ubuntu.com?
[08:15] <Lars> jason, thanks
[08:16] <rww> Maggie: are you running nautilus or GNOME as root (using gksudo or some other weird method) or as a normal user?
[08:16] <raylu> !twinview
[08:16] <yoyit2> raylu:  its says cannot touch /media/disk/test && rm /media/disk/test read-only file system
[08:16] <raylu> wow, that was surprisingly not useful.
[08:16] <miranda_psi> paste.ubuntu.com*
[08:16] <kerry_> hi people
[08:16] <raylu> yoyit2: strange. you said you could create files, though?
[08:16] <Maggie> rww, I use as a normal user
[08:16] <JaZ969> yeah
[08:16] <JaZ969> hold on
[08:16] <Seveas> raylu, feel free to improve the factoid :)
[08:17] <Don_Miguel> raylu, in UpdateManager I still show 25 packages waiting to upgrade after the previous ... OH  so I need to re-do that withOUT the -s  ??    sudo aptitude safe-upgrade   ??
[08:17] <raylu> jason: what do you mean it compiles? make compiles it so...
[08:17] <raylu> Don_Miguel: yes
[08:17] <raylu> Seveas: i was hoping for information myself :P
[08:17] <Seveas> :)
[08:17] <kerry_> i need some help with synaptic package manager. it works fine under gnome but when i try to install software under kde, the install progress dialog just sits there at 100%, and the close button is disabled
[08:17] <jason> Lars: did u get it
[08:17] <Lars> no
[08:17] <Seveas> kerry_, use adept under kde :)
[08:17] <JaZ969> miranda_psi  how do i get the contents into text form
[08:17] <kerry_> can someone help? i'm new to linux (ubuntu)
[08:17] <fosco_> kerry_: use adept under kde
[08:18] <Lars> jason, nope...did you PM it to me?
[08:18] <yoyit2> raylu: yep.. just not delete
[08:18] <cmkAus> The bugs are so complicated is there any simple bugs ican solve first
[08:18] <kerry_> ah, ok i've found adept. is it better than synaptic?
[08:18] <raylu> yoyit2: but touch would create the file...
[08:18] <jason> Im using Konversation and don't see PM option
[08:18] <raylu> yoyit2: how did you manage to create a file?
[08:18] <Lars> Jason, what is it called?
[08:18] <yoyit2> raylu:  just drag and drop music (its for my phone)
[08:18] <hellhound> rww:  thank you.  when i do that i get "Could not launch menu item  Failed to execute child process LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4lcompat.so (no such file or directory)" and i copied the command straight out my terminal after successfully running it there
[08:19] <raylu> yoyit2: in nautilus?
[08:19] <cmkAus> Whats the web site to join a team?
[08:19] <miranda_psi> Jaz969: just go into a terminal (applications, accessories, terminal) ans then use: cd /path/to/program and then run: ls -l and copy the output
[08:19] <jason> Its right below the layout section in xserver display config
[08:19] <yoyit2> raylu: nope, just files, and folders using coy and paste
[08:19] <raylu> !launchpad | cmkAus
[08:19] <Seveas> hellhound, use this: sh -c "LD_PRELOAD=foo appname"
[08:19] <raylu> yoyit2: er, nautilus is the file browser
[08:20] <yoyit2> raylu: haha.. right, my bad
[08:20] <eseven73> Seveas: how do I edit a factoid? I think !Tab is rather vague for example It would be more helpful if it had something appended to the end like 'Example: Type the first two letters of the persons nick THEN press TAB'
[08:20] <JaZ969> http://paste.ubuntu.com/100156/
[08:20] <cmkAus> ubottu: thanks
[08:20] <JaZ969> miranda_psi
[08:20] <jason> this is what i have, click the xserver display config
[08:20] <Lars> Jason, there's a lot of stuff there
[08:20] <Seveas> eseven73, /msg ubotu tab is <text here>
[08:20] <Lars> Jason, kk keep going
[08:20] <Seveas> eseven73, the edit will be forwarded to the ops for review
[08:20] <eseven73> Seveas: ok ty
[08:20] <cmkAus> is ubottu really a bot ?
[08:20] <jason> do yo have flatscreens digital
[08:20] <Seveas> cmkAus, yes
[08:20] <rww> cmkAus: yes
[08:20] <jason> no crts right
[08:20] <cmkAus> wow
[08:21] <cmkAus> what a newbie i am
[08:21] <Mayank> eseven73, my other pc is not connecting to internet
[08:21] <eseven73> Seveas: thats /msg ubotu and not ubottu right?
[08:21] <jason>  do you have both enabled
[08:21] <Lars> jason, one is coming up as a crt even though it isn't
[08:21] <Seveas> eseven73, /msg ubottu
[08:21] <rww> Maggie: hmm. I see a bunch of people saying they have this problem, but no solution to be found except for "Does this still happen in intrepid?" "No." =/
[08:21] <raylu> yoyit2: i have no idea :P
[08:21] <Don_Miguel> raylu,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/100155/   what next ? ( I did not get to have a snack ! the cupboard is bare !! so my brain is energy deprived ... pls spell it ALL out for me ! )
[08:21] <jason> cuz you have a vga output in vid card right
[08:21] <eseven73> k you said ubotu earlier Seveas kinda confused me :)
[08:21] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: to install that you will have to first: "./configure" then "make" and finally "sudo make install"
[08:21] <yoyit2> raylu:  arg .. :(
[08:21] <kerry_> i'm back.... i've got adept open, now is there any way i can view available packages by category? (ie office, graphics, etc)
[08:21] <JaZ969> i did configure
[08:21] <Lars> jason, they're both DVI
[08:22] <JaZ969> but after i configure, and i type make it does this
[08:22] <hellhound> Seveas:  the application launched with command but it did not do the preload
[08:22] <Seveas> eseven73, apologies. Ubotu was the previous bot in here, which died.
[08:22] <JaZ969> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[08:22] <Maggie> rww, i am having this problem since 3 days.before it was alreght
[08:22] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: get any errors from the configure?
[08:22] <JaZ969> no
[08:22] <jason> k i don't know why that is but it recognizes it so lets move on
[08:22] <JaZ969> would you lik eme to paste
[08:22] <JaZ969> a ./configure
[08:23] <Seveas> hellhound, do you see the LD_PRELOAD variable in the contents of /proc/pid-of-application/environ ?
[08:23] <jason> in the model drop down box select your dvi moniter
[08:23] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: no makefile has been made and thats usually the cause is a configure finding an error
[08:23] <yoyit2> anyone know why i cant delte fiiles from my SD card?? but i can write them??
[08:23] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: paste it up an ill take a look
[08:23] <JaZ969> ok
[08:23] <jason> select twinview and resolution to your choice with your hurts
[08:23] <Bikeguy> I was wondering, do any of you know of any Usenet Clients that are similar to Grabit for Windows? Server Searching, all that. Any clients you would recommend?
[08:23] <Seveas> hellhound, also make sure you didn't have a ; in the command between the variable and the app
[08:24] <Mayank> my other pc is not connecting to internet (ubuntu)
[08:24] <JaZ969> miranda_psi  http://paste.ubuntu.com/100158/
[08:24] <Seveas> Bikeguy, apt-cache search nzb gives you some decent clients
[08:24] <jason> select left of then make this the primary display
[08:24] <JaZ969> oh wow
[08:24] <JaZ969> IM SO BLIND
[08:24] <cmkAus> I joined a bugsquad team can I join another team?
[08:24] <JaZ969> lol!
[08:24] <FloodBot2> JaZ969: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:25] <raylu> Don_Miguel: that's... strange.
[08:25] <cmkAus> i am in the wrong chat room
[08:25] <cmkAus> wheres the beginner room
[08:25] <Mayank> my other pc is not connecting to internet (ubuntu)
[08:25] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo aptitude -s remove perl-modules
[08:25] <jason>  then apply and you should get a message saying somethings can't be done but apply what can be applied and it should work
[08:25] <Bikeguy> Seveas: hey, sorry i'm not to familiar with linux, trying to get better, how would i do what you said?
[08:25] <Don_Miguel> raylu, Update manager still shows those 25 waiting to upgrade
[08:25] <Robbie_Crash> I'm still having a problem when I disconnect a secondar, non mounted harddrive. When I do, I can't boot. More info here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1028757 . I've looked through the syslog, but I don't know enough about Linux to determine where it's checking something, and what it's missing, and I don't think that the failed boots would log anything to syslog, so I don't know how I'll really be able to figure out where the problem actua
[08:25] <Bikeguy> Seveas: is it anything like apt-get? or what is it exactly
[08:26] <ziroday> cmkAus: beginner room for what?
[08:26] <Maggie> I am not able to upgrade from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 using CD ........ can any1 help me
[08:26] <cmkAus> ubuntu
[08:26] <Seveas> Bikeguy, yes, you tun that command in a terminal
[08:26] <jason> Lars: u still with me
[08:26] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: there was an error in configure (look at line 111) saying that you don't have the pidgin development files instaled, so go into synaptic and search for pidgin and look for files related to pidgin with "-dev" at the end
[08:26] <raylu> Don_Miguel: that's not strange; those 25 have not upgraded yet
[08:26] <Bikeguy> Seveas: thanks, will try that out
[08:26] <inet>  hi. how installhplaserjet
[08:26] <inet> 1020
[08:26] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OK will    sudo aptitude -s remove perl-modules
[08:26] <Lars> Jason...yeah
[08:26] <JaZ969> miranda_psi  I'm installing the pidgin dev files atm
[08:26] <cmkAus> Is there a channel called unbuntu beginner?
[08:26] <eseven73> Maggie: 8.04 is a LTS are you sure you want to upgrade? What's in 8.10 that you need so badly?
[08:26] <Seveas> inet, pluginlaserjet gotosystemadministrationprining selectaddprinter
[08:26] <raylu> cmkAus: no
[08:27] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: ok
[08:27] <cwillu> but 99508
[08:27] <Seveas> cmkAus, what are you beginning with? :)
[08:27] <cwillu> bug 99508
[08:27] <eseven73> !LTS | Maggie
[08:27] <Bikeguy> Seveas: so what that did was spit out things that are in the repository? interesting
[08:27] <raylu> !ru | inet
[08:27] <Mayank> my other pc is not connecting to internet (ubuntu)
[08:27] <Seveas> Bikeguy, yes, apt-cache searches the local cache of repository info. Very useful
[08:27] <Maggie> eseven73, I am not able to use USB flash drives in my hardy
[08:27] <hellhound> Seveas:  there is nothing in /proc/12368/environ.  The file is blank.  Should i add LD_PRELOAD ?
[08:27] <b1gbawx> what folder do i need to put a program in to make it a universal file accessed by everyone
[08:28] <Seveas> hellhound, you can't edit things in /proc ;)
[08:28] <raylu> b1gbawx: why?
[08:28] <JaZ969> configure: error:

[08:28] <FloodBot2> JaZ969: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:28] <Seveas> hellhound, but this means something screwy is happening
[08:28] <Bikeguy> Seveas: yeah, definitely seems awesome
[08:28] <b1gbawx> what do you mean why
[08:28] <b1gbawx> just what folder is it
[08:28] <raylu> b1gbawx: what are you trying to make accessible, and why?
[08:28] <Seveas> JaZ969, what are you compiling?
[08:28] <JaZ969> musictracker
[08:29] <Seveas> isn't it in the repos?
[08:29] <raylu> b1gbawx: because your question makes no sense. there are many directories that are world-readable
[08:29] <JaZ969> plugin for pidgin
[08:29] <Seveas> !search musictracker
[08:29] <b1gbawx> is it /usr/bin or somethin
[08:29] <Seveas> !find musictracker
[08:29] <b1gbawx> just a regular program iw rote
[08:29] <b1gbawx> i wrote
[08:29] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: try searching for PCRE in synaptic and install the dev files as well
[08:29] <vasyok> hi!!
[08:29] <Seveas> JaZ969, install the pidgin-musictracker package :)
[08:29] <raylu> b1gbawx: the best place for something like that is /usr/local/bin
[08:29] <b1gbawx> thanks
[08:29] <Bikeguy> raylu: thanks for the help a couple of days ago, i ended up doing a full system reinstall, and while i was doing that decided on doing a raid 5 setup
[08:29] <Wicked> !flash
[08:29] <JaZ969> wheres that
[08:29] <Seveas> JaZ969, no need to compile it
[08:29] <Don_Miguel> raylu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100160/   for  sudo aptitude -s remove perl-modules
[08:30] <Mayank> my other pc is not connecting to internet (ubuntu)

[08:30] <Maggie> eseven73, see my pm
[08:30] <hellhound> Seveas:  hummm any ideas ti fix the proc file or whatever i need to enable "LD_PRELOAD"
[08:30] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: if its in the package manager thats definitely a better way to go (and much easier as well :D)
[08:30] <raylu> Don_Miguel: now, i am very very confused
[08:30] <inet> ok
[08:30] <ziroday> CoUrPsE|DeAd: does totem audio play?

[08:31] <Mayank> my other pc is not connecting to internet (ubuntu)
[08:31] <JaZ969> yeah lmao
[08:31] <raylu> Don_Miguel: aptitude suggests upgrading a package when you tell it to remove it
[08:31] <Bikeguy> raylu: yeah, it's pretty sweet. Raid 5 3 750's. So my primary is a 1.3x tb drive...pretty fun
[08:31] <Seveas> afk
[08:31] <vasyok> Is somebody Russian?
[08:31] <Hemebond> Is permission inheritance broken in Ubuntu?
[08:31] <Maggie>  I am not able to use mount any USB flash drive on my PC
[08:31] <Robbie_Crash> !ru
[08:32] <raylu> Don_Miguel: my best suggestion at this point is to remove xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support and then upgrade
[08:32] <vasyok> #ubuntu-ru
[08:32] <Lars> New Question: I am trying to set up dual displays. I have updated my system, installed nvidia-settings, currently my GPU-0 is detected both displays (an Acer LCD registering as DFP-1 - (DFP-1) and an HP LCD as CRT-0 - (HP vs17) ), I currently have TwinView enabled, both screens positioned correctly, and all of that. The Acer however is not getting a signal, period.

[08:33] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: no probelm
[08:33] <Maggie> nothing
[08:33] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> ziroday, Progress bar moves, but no audio.
[08:33] <R1cochet> !virtual machine
[08:33] <Wicked> hmm...sound in flash videos seems to skip after i leave firefox open for a while. any ideas how to fix this?
[08:34] <robin0800> send test
[08:34] <Don_Miguel> raylu, that one was  NEEDING an upgrade so removing the OLD is part of the UPGRADE ??  I thought we DID remove that   xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support    one !  what is that command ??
[08:34] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, nothing happens
[08:34] <ziroday> CoUrPsE|DeAd: okay, are there any errors printed in the terminal?
[08:34] <R1cochet> !VMWare
[08:34] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> ziroday,  nope.
[08:34] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie absolutely nothing? Does the flash drive have a light on it?
[08:34] <raylu> Don_Miguel: no, we didn't. you ran it with -s. "sudo aptitude remove xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support
[08:35] <ziroday> CoUrPsE|DeAd: okay, is your PCM level on your mixer set to max?
[08:35] <jason> I need some help installing x64 flashplayer 10 plugin for firefox 3.05

[08:35] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie does it light up when you plug it into the USB port on your Ubuntu box?
[08:35] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OH ! yep ... OK, this time w/o the  -s      aptitude remove xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support

[08:35] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, yes
[08:35] <ziroday> CoUrPsE|DeAd: well then I'm out of ideas :(
[08:35] <miranda_psi> jason: just uninstall any flash alternatives you have, then go to a site using flash and use firefox to install it
[08:36] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie can you open a terminal and type mount and pastebin the output please?
[08:36] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Sound prefences, sound playback returns:

[08:36] <raylu> CoUrPsE|DeAd: a long shot, but: killall artsd
[08:36] <miranda_psi> jason: only if you are using the 32bit firefox, 64bit firefox can't use the 32bit plugin
[08:37] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> ziroday, :(
[08:37] <jason> it is 64 bit firefox
[08:37] <ziroday> CoUrPsE|DeAd: this happens as soon as you login?
[08:37] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> artsd no such process.
[08:37] <miranda_psi> jason: i'm using 64bit firefox in ubuntu 8.10 64bit and it works fine
[08:37] <joeb3_> jason, get the 64 bit flash plugin from adobe.com
[08:37] <raylu> CoUrPsE|DeAd: have you tried speaker-test?
[08:37] <Sa[i]nT> Is awn the only dock app worth anything? Or is there some other good ones?
[08:37] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> ziroday, Yeah, i get boot audio, login audio, and then nothing else.
[08:37] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, this was my output http://paste.ubuntu.com/100164/
[08:37] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> raylu, Whats speaker test? i try the sound playback test.
[08:37] <raylu> !dock

[08:38] <Don_Miguel> Remove the following packages:

[08:38] <Don_Miguel> firefox-gnome-support
[08:38] <Don_Miguel> ubuntu-desktop

[08:38] <Don_Miguel>          do I REALLY want to REMOVE those ???  I am USING them !!
[08:38] <Kartagis> i tried to create a keybinding in gconf-editor. is there a was to toggle it? Ctrl+Alt+d works find toggling
[08:38] <jason> thats the command?
[08:39] <Kartagis> s/was/way

[08:39] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie can you go to places>computer>file system>mnt
[08:39] <Kartagis> jason, you asked me?
[08:39] <Robbie_Crash> and tell me if that's got your USB drive in it?
[08:39] <joeb3_> jason, that's the command to uncompress the file you downloaded.
[08:39] <raylu> Don_Miguel: ubuntu-desktp is a virtual package, so it's not a big deal
[08:39] <Igramul> I am switching to Fluxbox. How can I open the audio mixer from command line?
[08:40] <jason> and just uncompress where?
[08:40] <raylu> Don_Miguel: and you can live without firefox-gnome-support for now.
[08:40] <raylu> !info firefox-3.0-gnome-support
[08:40] <Don_Miguel> raylu, so I just CLOSE firefox  ?
[08:40] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, when I open places>Computer .... I get err msg "Nautilus cannot handle computer: locations."
[08:40] <raylu> Don_Miguel: you don't even have to do that, though it can't hurt
[08:40] <raylu> Don_Miguel: the only downside is that if packages are added to ubuntu-desktop, you won't be notified of them
[08:40] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie hold on one second
[08:41] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Its like the sound device is owned by root and not letting me run audio.
[08:41] <miranda_psi> jason: just uncompress it anywhere really, though somewhere like /usr/lib/ would be a good place
[08:41] <Don_Miguel> raylu, it is a BIG PAIN to close out FF ... as I have LOTS of tabs active !  do I need to close it for safety ?
[08:41] <Kartagis> i tried to create a keybinding in gconf-editor. is there a way to toggle it? Ctrl+Alt+d works fine toggling
[08:42] <miranda_psi> jason: the you just create a symbolic link to the .so object thats in there in the firefox plugins directory
[08:42] <jason> ok and then what
[08:42] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie from the system panel, you click on Places, then Computer, and that Nautilus error comes up?
[08:42] <robin0800> send% test
[08:42] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, yes
[08:42] <rww> !test | robin0800
[08:42] <miranda_psi> jason: once the symbolic link is in place, simply restart firefox and it should all be set
[08:43] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie when did you install Ubuntu, and how did you do it?
[08:43] <jason> ok i have to say can i not just but the .so in /usr/firefox 3.05/plugins directory
[08:43] <raylu> Don_Miguel: like i said, no
[08:43] <raylu> Don_Miguel: but firefox 3 should remember your tabs anyway
[08:44] <jason> I tried that and it gave me a permission error

[08:44] <Lars> Rewording: my HP LCD is detecting in nvidia-settings as a CRT...it displays, but when I try to enable twin mode with my Acer (which detects as a DFP), the Acer doesn't get a signal
[08:44] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, I installed Ubuntu 8.04 on November 19 from ubuntu CD that was shipped by cannonical
[08:44] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie are you still using 8.04?
[08:44] <Robbie_Crash> or have you done the dist_upgrade?
[08:44] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, yes
[08:45] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie which?
[08:45] <Mayank> my ubuntu is not getting internet connection
[08:45] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, Ubuntu 8.04
[08:45] <Don_Miguel> raylu, so I say  Y   and accept the solution ? OK
[08:45] <raylu> Robbie_Crash: why would his/her usb drive be mounted at /mnt...?
[08:45] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie thanks, one second. You may have the GVFS issue. Let me research a second here.
[08:45] <raylu> Don_Miguel: yes
[08:45] <miranda_psi> jason: doesn't work like that - the .so may require other files and if they are not there then it won't work so just use the symbolic link (ln -s /file/to/link/to /path/to/link)
[08:46] <Mayank> my ubuntu is not getting internet connection
[08:47] <Don_Miguel> raylu, DONE .. would you like the paste ?
[08:47] <alex_sleiborg> How do i start a program from the terminal, and when i close my terminal. Then the app should still run?
[08:47] <Robbie_Crash> raylu that's the only thing I saw that looked like a USB drive in the mount output
[08:47] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sure
[08:47] <raylu> Robbie_Crash: i know, but i'm wondering why it's mounted there in the first place
[08:47] <Lars> HELP! my HP LCD is detecting in nvidia-settings as a CRT...it displays, but when I try to enable twin mode with my Acer (which detects as a DFP), the Acer doesn't get a signal

[08:49] <Don_Miguel> raylu,     http://paste.ubuntu.com/100170/    for results of      sudo aptitude remove xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support
[08:50] <homy> Hello, I have a problem with the "Create USB Startup disk". I used the programm to create a intrepid 32bit startup disk (but I'm using a 64bit intrepid os). It did that successfully (at least it said that), but I can't boot from it. I know my bios can do that, as a also tried selecting the boot device manually (using F9), selecting "Removable". But then it just says sth like No bootable medium found.
[08:50] <kaps1> Igramul:probably my mbr got messed up ?
[08:50] <Robbie_Crash> raylu I have no idea. She's not done anything abnormal from what she's said, it just mounted there. And she's got an old GVFS error it sounds like, and short of a dist upgrade I'm not sure how to fix that, so I'm reading up on that.
[08:50] <Mayank> my ubuntu is not getting internet connection
[08:50] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie sit tight, I'm still looking
[08:50] <Slart> kaps1: how does it say unallocated? an error message from grub? in gparted? fdisk?
[08:50] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, OK
[08:50] <Igramul> kaps1, try booting from the live system and fix the grub installation from there.
[08:50] <kaps1> Slart: in gparted
[08:51] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie does your USB disk have any files on it?
[08:51] <Mayank> anybody  plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz?
[08:51] <Mayank> my ubuntu is not getting internet connection
[08:51] <Lars> raylu: I'll need a little guidance here
[08:51] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, yes
[08:51] <Slart> !details | Mayank
[08:51] <Igramul> kaps1, ouch... did You remove the partition dirung the installation of Windows?
[08:51] <kaps1> Igramul:I did the same but gparted itself is not able to detect linux partition
[08:51] <raylu> Don_Miguel: what... the...
[08:51] <Mayank> my ubuntu is not getting internet connection, 8.10
[08:51] <raylu> Don_Miguel: might want to add that paste to your bug report
[08:52] <Slart> kaps1: hmm... and you're sure you're looking at the right disk, at the right place?
[08:52] <chris_> hi
[08:52] <chris_> i have an annoying problem with compiz-fusion. everytime i open a window it will stop for a split second before continuing. otherwise it runs absolutely smoothly. i couldn't find anything useful in google. any suggestions?
[08:52] <Slart> kaps1: are there any ext partitions at all anywhere?
[08:52] <raylu> Lars: just try some of the commands/options
[08:52] <kaps1> Igramul:I didnt removed the linux partition but others and reformatted them with new size
[08:52] <Lars> raylu, I wouldn't know where to begin...
[08:52] <cwillu> chris_, what kind of card, and lots of windows open?
[08:52] <kaps1>  Slart:yes there is one swap and another ext3
[08:53] <raylu> Lars: xrandr --help is where to begin :D
[08:53] <homy> Can anybody help me with my usb-creator problem?
[08:53] <Slart> kaps1: you're sure you didn't install it to the wrong partition?
[08:53] <chris_> cwillu: nvidia gforce 8600gt. no, it happens with any number of windows
[08:53] <Igramul> kaps1, what's the "another ext3"? /boot ?
[08:53] <Lars> raylu, I have it up, but I don't know which command is the one I want, mainly because I don't know what the problem is to begin with
[08:53] <raylu> Lars: i think if you just run "xrandr", it should give you the status of your displays
[08:53] <kaps1>  Slart: I tried testdevice it shows me ext3 is there but filesystem corrupted
[08:53] <Lars> raylu, I have no idea WHY my acer isn't getting a signal
[08:53] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> raylu, Not much help sadly, :(
[08:54] <kaps1> Igramul: didnt got your question ?
[08:54] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie can you open a terminal, and cd to /mount
[08:54] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, OK
[08:54] <raylu> Robbie_Crash: /mnt? /media?
[08:54] <Igramul> kaps1, try mounting that ext3 from a live CD. If mount fails, You can try ext3.fsck
[08:55] <kaps1> Igramul: mount fails
[08:55] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, this is what I got bash: cd: /mount: No such file or directory
[08:55] <Robbie_Crash> Sorry,  raylu is right, /mnt, not /mount.
[08:55] <Slart> kaps1: hmm.. I haven't done enough partition recoveries to feel that I can give advice at this point.. I might just as well make things worse
[08:55] <Mayank> my ubuntu is not getting internet connection, 8.10
[08:55] <raylu> kaps1, Slar, Igramul: sudo fdisk -l
[08:55] <Slart> Mayank: more details..
[08:56] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Whats the sound device called in /dev?
[08:56] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie it's /mnt, pardon me, after that, type 'ls' and tell me if you're seeing any of the files and folders you should be seeing?
[08:56] <rww> Mayank: how is it supposed to be connected to the internet? Ethernet? Wireless? Pastebin the output of lspci and lsusb...
[08:56] <Lars> raylu, this is all german to me, with my configuration, I need to know WHY the second output isn't working
[08:56] <Mayank> Slart, i have 2 pc's, first has ubuntu 8.10, p-4, 1gb ram, airtel internet (delhi)
[08:56] <Kartagis> i tried to create a keybinding in gconf-editor. is there a way to toggle it? Ctrl+Alt+d works fine toggling
[08:57] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, No
[08:57] <Slart> Mayank: and airtel internet means?
[08:57] <kaps1> raylu:  Slar, Igramul: sudo fdisk -l shows as /dev/sda6            4742        7492    20797528+   4  FAT16 <32M ?
[08:57] <Mayank> first has internet without problem, but another is not connection, its says connection is disconnected
[08:57] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie does anything show up after that command?
[08:57] <Slart> Mayank: wired connection? ppp? 3g? wireless?
[08:57] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, No
[08:57] <Robbie_Crash> Hmm, ok.
[08:57] <Mayank> i am in india, new delhi, both have wired connection
[08:57] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie, one second please

[09:01] <raylu> kaps1: ...then why do you say it's a ext3 partition?
[09:01] <Mayank> slart, the only difference is i have working internet connection pc have clean ubuntu installed (means no wubi), and other one has wubi with xp which is not connection to internet..
[09:02] <rww> Mayank: Does the PC connect to the internet okay in XP?
[09:02] <Pabix> Hello, do you know whether it is possible to make Synaptics faster when sorting packages by whether or not they are supported by the Ubuntu developers?
[09:02] <kaps1> raylu: I never formatted it as FAT16 , it was originally ext3 and I only changed other partitions for sure
[09:02] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie were USB drives showing up properly before the update?
[09:02] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, yes
[09:02] <Lars> raylu, I'm on a different computer
[09:02] <Mayank> rww, yes.. perfect...
[09:02] <kaps1> raylu: how can I recover my ubuntu data from there ?
[09:03] <Slart> Mayank: on the pc that is directly connect to internet, run this in a terminal "sudo cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
[09:03] <raylu> kaps1: you said earlier that mounting failed; what happened?
[09:03] <Slart> Mayank: does it say "0" or "1"
[09:03] <homy> Any help with my usb-creator problem? Medium won't boot.
[09:03] <rww> Mayank: okay. Open up a terminal and issue the command "lspci;lsusb", copy the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, and provide here a link to the created pastebin page.
[09:04] <kaps1> raylu: it says, mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda6,
[09:04] <jason> Who has 64bit firefox 3 and flashplayer 10 working?
[09:04] <Slart> jason: I do

[09:04] <Mayank> rww, ok
[09:04] <b1gbawx> is there something special i need to do to get my external usb harddrive to work

[09:04] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie Do you know how to install a package from source?
[09:04] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> uh huh.
[09:04] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, yes
[09:04] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> as i suspected, my user is not allowed to use the device.
[09:05] <jason> I need your help Slart
[09:05] <raylu> homy: try unetbootin
[09:05] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> how do i open users and groups dialog with sudo?
[09:05] <kaps1> raylu : mount /dev/sda6 /media/disk-1/mnt/
[09:05] <kaps1> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[09:05] <fjae> hi all
[09:05] <kaps1> raylu: it asks to specify filesystem ?
[09:05] <rww> CoUrPsE|DeAd: you shouldn't need to. The "Unlock" button at the bottom of the Users and Groups window will authenticate you and allow you to do administrator stuff.
[09:05] <raylu> kaps1: o.0. try -t vfat
[09:06] <homy> but I used the "Create usb startup disk" utitlity that is pre-installed in Ubuntu 8.10! So I don't need Unetbootin? The problem is only that the medium doesn't boot, even though usb-creator said it would.
[09:06] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> rww, Sorry, didnt even see the unlock button.
[09:06] <raylu> CoUrPsE|DeAd: and of course, there's always usermod

[09:08] <raylu> Don_Miguel: not that i mind, but why does it take so long to run these commands and pastebin the results?
[09:08] <homy> raylu: could the problem be that I started usb-creator in a 64bit intrepid os but installed 32bit to the usb drive?

[09:21] <chrislees> xfm_: The killall command is only temporary; rebooting will restart pulseaudio. In any case, it looks like Pulseaudio is running even though you are getting error messages

[09:34] <fuctfly> in theory that is
[09:35] <b1gbawx> ever since i selected x windows to not load on startup my usb external harddrive wont load while in x. is there a way to fix this
[09:35] <raylu> Don_Miguel: and yes, you're right. it seems we've gotten nowhere. try "sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.0-gnome-support" first, then sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support
[09:35] <Lo_> rww: also if I try to do wine anyprogram.exe from a terminal I get the error: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000004 at address 0x455410 (thread 0014), starting debugger...
[09:35] <Lo_> wineserver crashed, please enable coredumps (ulimit -c unlimited) and restart.
[09:35] <rww> fuctfly: you could ask the ekiga people if there is one. Their channel is #ekiga on irc.gnome.org.
[09:36] <CarlFK> what package do I install to satisfy: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.07-pkg1.run    http://dpaste.com/105511/ "the kernel source files in  '/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.28' have not been configured."
[09:36] <rww> Lo_: I'm looking for solutions. Give me a sec :)
[09:36] <Lo_> rww: Thanks a lot!! :)
[09:36] <fosco_> CarlFK: nvidia-glx-96
[09:38] <CarlFK> fosco_: im trying to build it on jaunty, which currently doesn't support -96
[09:38] <ChrisDavaz> I tried setting various kernel options (disable acpi for example) and I am still having trouble with getting the Ubuntu 8.10 LiveCD to boot on my Lenovo Thinkpad T500. The X server failed to start after 60 seconds.
[09:38] <fosco_> CarlFK: jaunty does not support nvidia acceleration at all
[09:38] <rww> Lo_: what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[09:39] <Don_Miguel> raylu, "slow" is probably tired operator being very very careful to follow instructions correctly  :-)    will now attempt to     try "sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.0-gnome-support" first, then sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support
[09:39] <jessie> hey guys I need help getting my Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) to work
[09:39] <Lo_> rww: 8.10
[09:39] <rww> fosco_: support for Jaunty is in #ubuntu+1, not here.
[09:39] <fosco_> ok
[09:39] <raylu> CarlFK: if you can't find a configured kernel source, you could always build your own kernel :D
[09:39] <Lo_> rww: Unfortunately it seems to be a quite widespread problem in wine 1.1.12: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=17490&sid=590335c11cd63963d620b072678d5c30
[09:39] <jessie> just installed Ubuntu on a friends laptop and I'm having problems, i heard madwifi works with these cards?
[09:39] <Lo_> drat!
[09:39] <raylu> Don_Miguel: there is such a thing as too careful
[09:39] <LurkerInTheWebs> HELP -- Trying to enable twinview, one input is a DFP, the other is a CRT. How do I get both to work?
[09:40] <rww> Lo_: Intrepid's only up to 1.0.1 right now, though, unless you installed it manually.
[09:40] <fuctfly> trying their chan now
[09:40] <CarlFK> raylu: swelll :)
[09:40] <raylu> jessie: "works" may be an overstatement
[09:40] <fuctfly> theres somebody awake surprisingly at this hour..  =)
[09:40] <jessie> raylu ahh i see, does ndiswrapper work okay?
[09:40] <Lo_> rww: no... I mean it was installed automatically..
[09:40] <Tekno> its 11:40 AM
[09:40] <fosco_> fuctfly: not everyone has your timezone :-)
[09:40] <rww> Lo_: try "mv ~/.wine ~/.wine_old". That'll move your wine configuration out of the way and make a new one. Try running winecfg again after that.
[09:40] <raylu> jessie: using "works" in the same sentence as something about wifi is often an overstatement :P. madwifi works, sometimes
[09:41] <Don_Miguel> raylu, see PM
[09:41] <jessie> raylu I think i was talking to you the other night (other username; mattycoze) :p
[09:41] <raylu> jessie: just like ndiswrapper. and networkmanager, for that matter
[09:41] <jason> Just thought I would tell everyone that Slart ROCKS he helped me drastically so Props to Slart
[09:41] <CarlFK> fosco_: actually i just want to be able to use the cards svideo port.  any idea if that will work?
[09:41] <xfm_> chrislees: found how to desactivate for alsa here: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2008/10/29/alsa-instead-of-pulseaudio-for-ubuntu-810-intrepid-a-non-destructive-way/. Thanks for your help
[09:41] <raylu> Don_Miguel: oh, the second part isn't worth trying, then
[09:41] <fosco_> CarlFK: sorry, they don not want we talk about jaunty here
[09:41] <LurkerInTheWebs> HELP -- Trying to enable twinview, one input is a DFP, the other is a CRT. How do I get both to work?
[09:41] <jessie> ahh i have faith in it lol; they've all done alright with all the computers I've installed Ubuntu upon
[09:41] <raylu> Don_Miguel: so, back to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6198889
[09:42] <rww> Lo_: that'll tell us whether something's wrong with your copy of wine, or with your wine configuration; and you can move it back again with "rm -r ~/.wine; mv ~/.wine_old ~/.wine"
[09:42] <raylu> Don_Miguel: the person had trouble with ussp-push. in the last post, he mentions removing references to that package in /var/lib/dpkg
[09:42] <raylu> Don_Miguel: perhaps you can do something similar to xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support
[09:43] <Lo_> rww: Ok, now winecfg and wine seem to work..
[09:43] <Lo_> rww: but how to "restore" my programs?
[09:43] <rww> Lo_: okay, so something is screwy with your .wine directory... hmm.
[09:43] <Don_Miguel> raylu, still reading that one ... so far it seems we have tried all those that apply and I am unclear on how to DO some of those ... and my mind is not so clear at almost 0600 AM ...
[09:44] <Lo_> rww: Yes. definitly
[09:44] <rww> Lo_: I'd recommend going into #winehq and telling them about it. They know way more about this than me...
[09:45] <jessie> dam acer laptops have serious problems with their wifi on ubuntu
[09:45] <MartinN00b> join #Ubuntu:
[09:45] <rww> Lo_: like I said, though, to restore your old configuration, remove the new one: "rm -r ~/.wine" and move the old one back: "mv ~/.wine_old ~/.wine"
[09:45] <Lo_> rww: Thank you so much.
[09:45] <b1gbawx> ever since i selected x windows to not load on startup my usb external harddrive wont load while in x. is there a way to fix this it worked before
[09:45] <Lo_> rww: I'll check that out.. anyway thanks for putting me on the right track ;)
[09:46] <raylu> Don_Miguel: "ls -F /var/lib/dpkg", find /var/lib/dpkg -name "*xulrunner*", grep -r xulrunner /var/lib/dpkg
[09:46] <raylu> Don_Miguel: could you run those three and show me what they produced?
[09:47] <jason> Hey guys I have both my moniters working but all my windows open in the middle and maximize thur both screens
[09:47] <KJ4HZW> jason: that sounds awesome
[09:48] <travisivart> In this recent install of 8.10 on a laptop, I've had some problems with sound. It sounds really jarbled. Any ideas?
[09:48] <bottiger> How is ubuntus partitioning tool? If you have a whole harddrive formatted in ntfs, can you then resize it and create a new partition?
[09:49] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OK ....   (1) ls -F /var/lib/dpkg   (2) find /var/lib/dpkg -name "*xulrunner*"  (3)  grep -r xulrunner /var/lib/dpkg        uhh, Is (2) a terminal command ??
[09:49] <KJ4HZW> bottiger: it works fine for that, just make sure you shut down windows cleanly first
[09:49] <raylu> Don_Miguel: yes
[09:49] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OK
[09:50] <ghaleb> hello, I notice a high disk activity .. how can I know which is the process asking for disk i/o ?
[09:50] <allsystemsarego> ghaleb, iotop
[09:51] <ghaleb> allsystemsarego: thank you
[09:51] <bottiger> KJ4HZW: thank you
[09:51] <rww> bottiger: yes. You can do that easily during install, or with gparted from the Live CD>
[09:52] <blkdomini> hello
[09:53] <jason> KJ4Hzw what sounds awesome the fact that all my windows maximize covering both screens
[09:54] <Don_Miguel> raylu, wow, #3 is huge  ... and I lost #1 & #2  and part of #3   how can I include it if I do not see it in the terminal ???
[09:55] <raylu> Don_Miguel: you can just give me the first two, then. (pressing up in terminal will give you the last few commands you ran
[09:55] <raylu> Don_Miguel: as for getting the third, "grep -r xulrunner /var/lib/dpkg | head"
[09:56] <raylu> Don_Miguel: will give only the first 10 lines, which may be of use
[09:59] <pogztimz> hello veryone. wat package should i download for converting *.avi files into *.mp4 format?
[09:59] <Don_Miguel> raylu, I do not seem to be able to scroll back ... there are hundreds of lines for #3 (grep) so i will repeat the first two and paste them, then repeat #3
[09:59] <Tekno> pogztimz: avidemux
[10:00] <pogztimz> Tekno: ty and happy new yeeeear.. :)
[10:00] <Tekno> :)
[10:00] <faileas> pogztimz: i think ffmpeg would do it
[10:01] <Tulga> I cannot install 8.04 on the raid1 server. ubuntu found 2 disks. how to solve it?
[10:02] <GbigG> hi - can somebody help me to get my raid5 with mdadm after reboot working?
[10:03] <Slart> ehm.. when did ubuntu start playing mp3s just because I hoover my mouse pointer over them? is there someone I can send a "kick-in-the-groin"'o'gram to?
[10:03] <Lo_> bbl
[10:03] <faileas> lol
[10:04] <Slart> Tulga: what kind of raid? hardware? software? on board raid?
[10:04] <rww> Slart: Edit > Preferences > Preview > Previw Sound Files: Never, maybe?
[10:05] <Tulga> board raid configured HDD for raid1
[10:05] <Tulga> another OS found 1 HDD, but ubuntu found 2 HDDs :(
[10:05] <rww> Slart: looks like that's it. /me turns it off too
[10:05] <Slart> nautilus.. I should have known.. =)
[10:05] <Slart> thanks rww
[10:06] <rww> Slart: you're welcome :)
[10:06] <Slart> Tulga: fakeraid (as they are called in linux) can be tricky ...
[10:07] <Slart> !fakeraid | Tulga
[10:07] <colton_> what does the tilde ~ before a directory mean ?
[10:07] <GbigG> home directory
[10:07] <Slart> colton_: your home folder.. /home/colton_ or similar
[10:07] <colton_> ~/data,
[10:07] <colton_> It means that it is a home directory?
[10:07] <colton_> How many home directories can there be?
[10:08] <Slart> colton_: one
[10:08] <Tekno> as many as users
[10:08] <Slart> colton_: one per user =)
[10:08] <colton_> When I tilde a directory it becomes invisible for some reason why is this?
[10:08] <raylu> tilde a directory?
[10:08] <rww> colton_, what do you mean by "tilde a directory"? put a ~ at the end of it?
[10:08] <Slart> colton_: hmm.. how do you "tilde a directory"?
[10:08] <colton_> ~/
[10:09] <Tekno> ~/data is short for /home/colton/data
[10:09] <bazyl> hi everyone !
[10:09] <colton_> ~/data
[10:09] <t94xr_laptop> hey, i have a Sony Ericsson, im having trouble with Ubuntu recognising my phone in either usb mode or phone mode connected via usb - this isnt a bluetooth issue, just a usb device issue
[10:09] <Slart> instead of writing ~/data you can write /home/<yourusername>/data.. it's the same thing..
[10:09] <archman> hello
[10:10] <Don_Miguel> raylu, sorry for the delay   http://paste.ubuntu.com/100200/
[10:10] <EvilMonki> hello
[10:11] <archman> i have wine 0.9.59 installed from repos, and now i'm building new release. can i run it from the source folder without 'make install' ? how to run it properly?
[10:11] <archman> i wanna have two of them...
[10:11] <raylu> Don_Miguel: this is long shot...
[10:11] <raylu> Don_Miguel: cd /var/lib
[10:11] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo mv dpkg dpkg-b
[10:11] <Slart> archman: I'm not sure if you can.. but perhaps.. ask in #winehq instead.. they are the real wine experts
[10:12] <rww> archman, ask in #winehq
[10:12] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
[10:12] <SiDi> I think it's just "make", archman
[10:12] <archman> ok
[10:12]  * SiDi didn't know about winehq channel :o
[10:12] <rww> archman, it'll probably end up involving passing an option to ./configure, though, if wine is anything like most other programs.
[10:12] <puff> so, I have several USB drive enclosures.  I have had a variety of problems with the drives that came  with the enclosures, because they were preformatted to NTFS, making them difficult to use on certain versionsof linux and macosx.
[10:12] <t94xr_laptop> hey, i have a Sony Ericsson, im having trouble with Ubuntu recognising my phone in either usb mode or phone mode connected via usb - this isnt a bluetooth issue, just a usb device issue
[10:13] <puff> However, because people started putting data on the preformatted NTFS partitions, it was not feasibleto reformat them.
[10:13] <puff> I am about to start usinga 500GB drive.  Before Put data on it and make it unfeasible to reformat it, what format should I put on it?
[10:13] <archman> rww: i did configure --prefix to another location...
[10:13] <rww> archman, then make install should install it to that other location.
[10:13] <nsadmin> puff: consider an lvm PV
[10:13] <rww> puff, which operating systems need to be able to read the drive?
[10:13] <puff> rww: All of them.
[10:13] <nsadmin> then a PV woudlnt' work
[10:14] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OK   (1)  cd /var/lib  (2) sudo mv dpkg dpkg-b  (3)  sudo aptitude safe-upgrade       is there spozed to be a SPACE in #2  -b ??
[10:14] <t94xr_laptop> rww: lol fat32 should read ok
[10:14] <rww> puff, do you need the ability to create files larger than 4GB?
[10:14] <puff> t94xr_laptop: I cannot help you directly, but I can point out bitpim, which is a python-based PIM that has support for a great many phones.
[10:14] <raylu> Don_Miguel: no
[10:15] <puff> rww: Not generally, though it is likely I will be sneakernetting around multimedia files (e.g. movies, etc) with this drive.
[10:15] <raylu> Don_Miguel: i wonder what happens when you run apt/dpkg without /var/lib/dpkg. i don't want to remove it, of course, so we're renaming it to dpkg-b
[10:15] <archman> rww: they answered me to just run the shortcut in the root of the source (the one that points to /tools/winewrapper
[10:15] <nsadmin> puff: why not use the drive to temporarily hold the files on the ntfs drives so you can put a different fs on them?
[10:15] <t94xr_laptop> puff: its not the program, i can do that, ubuntu doesnt recognising my phone - when its usb mode (flash stick mode) or in phone mode
[10:15] <nsadmin> then when you're done, use the drive for whatever
[10:15] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OK .. as a #4 ? in this list ?
[10:15] <rww> puff, because the only filesystem supported out-of-the-box by Ubuntu, OS X, and Windows is FAT32, which has a 4GB-per-file size limit.
[10:15] <puff> rww:  however, to date most of those files are under 4GB.
[10:16] <raylu> Don_Miguel: er? you've already given me 1, 2, and 3. what would it mean if it were 4?
[10:16] <rww> puff, Windows and Ubuntu can read and write ntfs out of the box, but OS X can only read. Only Ubuntu can read ext2/3 out of the box (OS X and Windows require plugins). HFS+ is a pain in the ass on anything that isn't OS X...
[10:16] <Don_Miguel> I have just done  1 & 2 about to do 3 ...
[10:16] <puff> nsadmin: Well yes, that's a possibility, but if there's a better format to put on this drive sarting out, I'd prefer to do so
[10:17] <raylu> Don_Miguel: hm? you've already shown me grep -r xulrunner /var/lib/dpkg | head
[10:17] <puff> rww: Okay, so are there any major drawbacks to fat32?
[10:17] <rww> puff, 4GB-per-file size limit and no file permissions.
[10:17] <puff> rww: I suspect I can live with that.
[10:17] <rww> puff, if you don't have any >4GB files, and you don't need file permissions, use FAT32.
[10:18] <nsadmin> puff: if you're going to use the drive for temporary purposes, the filesystem you pick should be for the temporary purpose... after that, you can format to whatever you want for the more permanent purpose
[10:18] <Don_Miguel> raylu, in current list you gave me, I am about to do    sudo aptitude safe-upgrade     and then you said: [06:15] <raylu> Don_Miguel: i wonder what happens when you run apt/dpkg without /var/lib/dpkg. i don't want to remove it, of course, so we're renaming it to dpkg-b
[10:19] <puff> nsadmin: I'm going to use the drive in an external USB enclosure as a combination of backup device and sneakernet
[10:19] <puff> The latter purpose most likely for movies, etc.
[10:19] <raylu> Don_Miguel: ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[10:19] <puff> Which makes macosx a priority, win32 a lesser priority.
[10:19] <nsadmin> what about the other drives? do you want to reformat them and rewrite the data to them?
[10:19] <raylu> Don_Miguel: "mv dpkg dpkg-b" renames dpkg to dpkg-b
[10:19] <puff> So, I can live with <4GB and no user permissions.
[10:19] <raylu> Don_Miguel: i was just explaining what those 3 commands do
[10:20] <puff> nsadmin: Eventually I'd like ot reformat them.  I have about 5-6 drives in the 160GB to 250GB range, and one terabyte drive.  All formatted ntfs.
[10:20] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OH, OK ... I did mention TIRED I think !  <grin>
[10:20] <puff> nsadmin: However, for now I just want to get this new drive set up "right".
[10:20] <t94xr_laptop> puff: may i suggest a NAS (Network Attached Storage)
[10:21] <nsadmin> puff: you could do those now, before you put the 500g drive into permanent service... you have that opportunity until you do so
[10:21] <puff> nsadmin: Then I can contemplate shuffling data around and reformatting drives.   Two ofthe drives (250GB each) don't seem to work proeperly.
[10:21] <puff> nsadmin: Getting the new drive working is a higher priority than shuffling, etc.
[10:22] <Trenter> I'm a migrating windows user and I am trying to find the Linux equivilant of Task Manager, mainly because I am trying to force stop a program in wine
[10:22] <nsadmin> I'm just saying you can shuffle more easily now than you would be able to if you put the drive into permanent service now
[10:22] <puff> t94xr_laptop: I'm considering that, but more likely before that happens, I'll get another terabyte drive (or two) and stickthem in a spare ubuntu box as a fileserver.
[10:22] <PolitikerALT> Trenter: Try CTRL+ESC
[10:22] <nsadmin> other than the tb drive
[10:22] <PolitikerALT> Trenter: or start the gnome-system-monitor
[10:22] <puff> nsadmin: Yes, and if I wanted to spend a week copying data back and forth, I'd consider that.
[10:22] <rww> puff, you could also stick with ntfs and use the ntfs-3g FUSE driver on Ubuntu and OS X, now that I think of it.
[10:22] <rww> !ntfs-3g | puff
[10:23] <puff> rww: Yeah, but then I'd have to worry about upgrading the macosx boxen and that gets political.
[10:23] <rww> puff, ah. Nevermind that idea, then.
[10:23] <puff> rww: I'm just looking for the "right" format to moveto, at this point.
[10:23] <Don_Miguel> raylu,  here is paste #12 !   http://paste.ubuntu.com/100206/
[10:23] <PolitikerALT> Trenter: you could also run xkill to kill a window
[10:23] <nsadmin> you can still use ntfs-3g to access the drives which already are ntfs
[10:24] <puff> rww: Most likely,what will happen is I'll get this 500GB working in an enclosure, and then at some point in the not-imediate but not too distant future, stick all the 160GB-250GB drives in a spare ubuntu box and back them up to a fresh terabyte drive.
[10:24] <Trenter> I have a window titled "Untitled Window" but it does not show up in the list of processes
[10:24] <PolitikerALT> run xkill and klick on the window
[10:24] <puff> rww: Baby steps, man  :-).
[10:24] <puff> rww: Thanks for the advice
[10:24] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo mkdir dpkg
[10:25] <PolitikerALT> (alt+f2) and then enter xkill
[10:25]  * nsadmin notes in passing that backing up a drive to another drive is not the safest choice
[10:25] <raylu> Don_Miguel: and then safe-upgrade again
[10:25] <nsadmin> if you have that much storage and you're supporting people for work, then you need tape drives
[10:26] <raylu> Trenter: the equivalent of task manager is the command line tool "top". otherwise, ctrl+esc may give you a gui version. "ps -e" is useful too.
[10:26] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OK  sudo mkdir dpkg    and then    safe-upgrade again
[10:26] <puff> nsadmin: Yeah, that's a whole 'nuther issue. Tape drives are kinda pricey.  This is an odd situation, not quite "work" but not personal either.
[10:26] <raylu> Trenter: but what you probably want is wineserver -k
[10:26] <Trenter> That did it, many thanks
[10:26] <nsadmin> then does money change hands in exchange for use of the storage?
[10:27] <marcin_ant> hello all
[10:28] <puff> nsadmin: Not really.  It's a small coalition of cash-poor freelancers and 3D guys trying to get a toehold.
[10:28] <PolitikerALT> Hello, is there some thing like "RAID over Lan"? I mean like synchronisation, but syncronizing all the time when a file has changed.
[10:28] <marcin_ant> how can I change datetemporary just to run some application with specific system date and time?
[10:29] <raylu> !rsync
[10:29] <raylu> o.0
[10:29] <kaneda__> unusual
[10:29] <raylu> PolitikerALT: you want rsync
[10:30] <puff> nsadmin: there are days (many) when I want to just go do another financial corp consulting gig and throw a lot of money at the infrastructure, and maybe someday I will, but meanwhile I'm just trying to make it work.
[10:30] <Don_Miguel> raylu, do we need to rename/move   dpkg-b   back to   dpkg  ??
[10:31] <puff> what a cool quote:  "A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed. ~ Archbishop Desmond Tutu, 1999"
[10:31] <raylu> Don_Miguel: no, making dpkg should be enough. why?
[10:31] <PolitikerALT> raylu: rsync has a daemon? mom, I'll have a look
[10:31] <raylu> mom?
[10:31] <Don_Miguel> raylu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100214/
[10:31] <GbigG> hi - somebody know how to get mdadm raid after reboot?
[10:31] <GbigG> to work
[10:31] <PolitikerALT> moment, I'm reading the manual
[10:32] <raylu> PolitikerALT: oh. i should mention that i have no experience with it
[10:32] <puff> PolitikerALT: It can, depends on how you're using it.
[10:32] <puff> PolitikerALT: I have only brushed the surface with rsync, but one mode of using it is you run rsync locally and it pushes deltas (changed data) to a daemon on the remote system.
[10:32] <nils> -de
[10:32] <nils> #ubuntu-de
[10:33] <rww> nils, /join #ubuntu-de
[10:33] <PolitikerALT> puff: Ah, that would be exactly what I need, thanks
[10:33] <nils> Sorry
[10:33] <Ruudi> greetings
[10:33] <Ruudi> HNY
[10:33] <Gabbsmo> Is it possible to make a ALTERNATE install USB with UNetbootin?
[10:34] <Ruudi> anyone speaks russian? could use some help to translate "IT support" to russian
[10:34] <puff> PolitikerALT: Just a heads up, in my expereince rysnc is very finicky about file specifications, specifically it seems most straightforward thing to do is to specify *both* the source and destination paths with a trailing slash, e.g. rsynch /source/path/ /dest/path/
[10:34] <rww> !ru | Ruudi
[10:35] <Ruudi> thnx rww
[10:35] <PolitikerALT> puff: thanks
[10:36] <puff> PolitikerALT: The trailing slash tells rsync that you want "path" to be a directory at both locations, and you want th econtents of "path" to be synchronized.  Beyond that it gets iffy, but the safest thing seems to be to have the final element in the file spec be a directory name with a trailing slash.
[10:36] <puff> PolitikerALT: I suspect this is rsync's achilles heel, and if they ever fix it rsync will become far more widespread.
[10:36] <rww> trailing slashes in rsync irritate the heck out of me :(
[10:37] <johny> Helloo
[10:37]  * johny says hello
[10:37] <puff> rww: Tell me about it :-).
[10:38] <puff> rww: Tip:  if you ever have to clean up the results of such, kdiff-3 is invaluable.  Also incredibly handy for when you drift off source control and are trying to merge changes back in.
[10:38] <wj32> how do I disable middle-click pasting?
[10:40] <puff> rww: However, kdiff-3 can easily bog down on some common use cases.  For example, when I was using kdiff3 to merge a couple different backups of my user directory, I found it *much* easier after I first a) cleaned up mozilla and beagle .files, b) moved four or five jdk hierarhies out of all versions of my user directory .
[10:40] <johny> I'm on ATI radeon 9700 card, can't use fglrx with Intrepid, therefore, I got back to the "ati open-source" driver, but my xorg.cong isn't still configured, which is weird. Can anyone of you have a look http://paste2.org/p/124870
[10:41] <rww> johny, Intrepid's version of Xorg does extensive autodetection, so many users have the default xorg.conf file. I have an ATI card too, and when I used to use radeon, the file looked like that.
[10:42] <Don_Miguel> raylu, did you see my last ? [06:31] <Don_Miguel> raylu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100214/
[10:43] <johny> rww: Thanks, it's good to know. I was thinking about adding "radeon" line to it. Do you experience problems with CPu use going higher when scrolling any pages, even with dillo?
[10:43] <Lars> Help, HELP - trying to get two monitors to work in twinview...one is a DFP, the other a CRT. The CRT works fine, DFP comes up black and not detecting...help!
[10:44] <rww> johny, the Xorg process's CPU usage tends to spike when I scroll or move windows around or do anything... it's only momentary, though, so I never really bothered with it.
[10:44] <rww> johny, adding the radeon line won't hurt, but it won't change anything either.
[10:46] <johny> rww: Say what, I just typed "glxgears", and it eats the whole 100% of my CPU, is it usual behavior?
[10:46] <Lars> Help, HELP - trying to get two monitors to work in twinview...one is a DFP, the other a CRT. The CRT works fine, DFP comes up black and not detecting...help!
[10:47] <rww> johny, not sure; I'm running fglrx right now, so I can't check.
[10:47] <rww> johny, but radeon isn't very efficient at running OpenGL stuff, so it wouldn't surprise me.
[10:48] <AdvoWork> anyone had any problems with saving settings in about:config of firefox under ubuntu yet when you restart firefox or log out, it resets them?
[10:48] <puff> hm, some digging around brings up XFS, woulod that work?
[10:49] <johny> rww: If I wanted to test it out a bit going back to "vesa", for a while what should I do: Is removing "xorg-driver-video-ati" enough?
[10:49] <rww> puff: that's not well supported, if I remember correctly.
[10:50] <Lars> Help, HELP - trying to get two monitors to work in twinview...one is a DFP, the other a CRT. The CRT works fine, DFP comes up black and not detecting...help!
[10:50] <Slart> rww, puff: XFS as in the file system?
[10:50] <nonix4> Lars: Using the prog for choosing display outputs runtime?
[10:50] <raylu> Don_Miguel: oops
[10:50] <Mayank> which version of fedora should i download for my pentium-4, 1gb of ram?
[10:51] <Slart> Mayank: ubuntu 8.10, 32 bit
[10:51] <rww> johny: probably xserver-xorg-video-radeon, xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd, xserver-xorg-video-ati, depending on exactly which driver you're using
[10:51] <raylu> Don_Miguel: i suppose you do need to move it back, then
[10:51] <rww> !fedora | Mayank
[10:51] <nonix4> Lars: xrandr that is?
[10:51] <Mayank> slart, no, fedora, there is no i386 for fedora?
[10:51] <rww> Mayank: oops, sorry, that was useless. Fedora support in #fedora, not here. #ubuntu is, unsurprisingly, only for Ubuntu support.
[10:51] <Slart> Mayank: what channel are you in?
[10:52] <raylu> Don_Miguel: i'd still recommend trying to follow the last suggestion in that post. removing references ot xulrunner in the available and status files may help
[10:52] <Don_Miguel> raylu, remind me ,,, what is the command for that ?
[10:52] <raylu> *to
[10:52] <raylu> Don_Miguel: rm -r dpkg
[10:52] <johny> rww: By the way: How can I check which one is used by the OS if my xorg doesn't put any entries in the config file?
[10:52] <HomingHamster> hi
[10:52] <raylu> Don_Miguel: mv dpkg-b dpkb
[10:52] <raylu> Don_Miguel: both with sudo
[10:52] <nonix4> Lars: try "xrandr --prop" to view currently detected screens
[10:53] <puff> rww: Good 'nuff, that recommendation is probably outdated.
[10:53] <HomingHamster> can anyone explain to me hoe i would use IP routes on my ubuntu machine to channel different ports down a different connection.
[10:53] <rww> johny: I usually read the Xorg logfile at /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I know radeon and fglrx both put lines in there when they're in use.
[10:53] <puff> Ah, crap, plugged the 500GB into a USB enclosure and it's not coming up at all.
[10:54] <Lars> nonix4: you'll get a PM from LurkerInTheWebs in a sec
[10:54] <puff> and not showing up in "df -h" output. Hm.
[10:55] <nonix4> puff: nor dmesg?
[10:55] <PokerFacePenguin> is there a change in the way memory shows up in intrepid?  I just noticed i am down from 4 to 3 GB RAM.  I recently did the upgrade to 8.10.
[10:56] <PokerFacePenguin> 64 bit that is
[10:56] <rww> PokerFacePenguin: what's the output of uname -a ?
[10:56] <Slart> PokerFacePenguin: I haven't noticed any difference.. I have 3.9 GB available.. can't really remember if it was different in hardy
[10:56] <PokerFacePenguin> Linux heirloom 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 22:15:32 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[10:56] <LurkerInTheWebs> nonix4...check your PM
[10:57] <nils__> Hello
[10:57] <rww> PokerFacePenguin: hrm. Can you copy the output of "free" to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, then say the link here?
[10:57] <puff> nonix4: No signs in dmesg.
[10:58] <puff> nonix4:  nor in /var/log/messages
[10:59] <Don_Miguel> raylu, still a problem     http://paste.ubuntu.com/100240/
[10:59] <puff> Bah, humbug... it's 4am here, time to sleep and come at it with a fresh approach in the morning.
[10:59] <jinja-sheep> Hmm.  I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on mobile laptop.  However, I faced an issue when it comes to detect + mount CD-ROM.  The problem?  There is no CD/DVD reader so the CD-ROM drivers won't be needed.
[10:59] <puff> G'night all.  Thank you much for your help and support.
[10:59] <rww> puff: 'night! Good luck :)
[10:59] <PokerFacePenguin> rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/100241/
[11:00] <johny> rww: Checked! It's certainly radeon (= ati Open-Source driver, right?) DRI is enabled, compiz launches on OS start too, but this scrolling is just horrible. As I've mentioned before: I installed Dillo to test it out, the browser itself is fast as hell, but when i scroll a page it just eats all the CPU. Yes, that's a momentary behavior, but it affect the entire system.
[11:00] <puff> rww: Thanks. Ciao, baby.
[11:00] <nils__> Goog Morning :D
[11:00] <Slart> PokerFacePenguin: I don't know if memory can break without the computer crashing.. but perhaps it's possible
[11:00] <nils__> Shut Up!!!!!!!!
[11:00] <DawnLight> hello. is it reasonable to use gnome without a mouse?
[11:00] <Don_Miguel> raylu, see my PM
[11:01] <rww> johny: hmm. I think there's a radeon driver channel at #radeon on this server. Try asking there maybe?
[11:01] <Slart> DawnLight: there are some accessability options for controlling the pointer with the numeric keyboard.. but I don't think gnome was meant for keyboard only operation
[11:01] <johny> rww: Thanks, I will.
[11:03] <Slart> DawnLight: but that would of course depend on how you use it.. what programs you run and so on..
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[11:04] <alexb92> gday guys, i have ubuntu installed inside a windows partition using wubi and now when i boot into ubuntu it comes up with alot of errors saying read only file system then x sevrer comes up in a big blue screen saying that due to internal erros, xserver can not be started please contact your namufacturer
[11:04] <Slart> good morning, ActionParsnip
[11:04] <alexb92> theres a big ok button
[11:04] <rww> Geh, it's 3am already? 'night, all...
[11:04] <Miguel_2009> Hey dudes, whick Linux (Deb based) distribution do you recommend for a PC with only 256Mb of DDR ?
[11:04] <HomingHamster> can anyone explain to me hoe i would use IP routes on my ubuntu machine to channel different ports down a different connection?
[11:04] <alexb92> and when i press the enter key, i get lead back up to the booting processes screen and it jus stays black
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> Slart: I just got a weird message from you
[11:04] <Slart> Miguel_2009: xubuntu
[11:05] <DIFH-iceroot> Miguel_2009: xubuntu
[11:05] <asea168> i coming
[11:05] <Slart> ActionParsnip: just wondering what time you had there =)
[11:05] <DIFH-iceroot> Miguel_2009: or dsl, but i dont know if it is debian-based
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> Slart: haha 11:00am GMT
[11:05] <Miguel_2009> DSL¿
[11:05] <HomingHamster> is xubuntu ubuntu but with XFCE window manager?
[11:05] <alexb92> 10:05 pm sydney time :P
[11:05] <Miguel_2009> I'll look for it xD
[11:05] <DIFH-iceroot> Miguel_2009: damn small linux
[11:05] <Miguel_2009> Yep homing
[11:05] <DIFH-iceroot> HomingHamster: yes
[11:05] <Slart> ActionParsnip: if your irc-client hadn't been so paranoid it would have answered me =) "/ctcp Slart time" will tell you what time it is here
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Miguel_2009: puppylinux, xubuntu, DSL (damnsmalllinux)
[11:06] <Miguel_2009> damn samll linux.. i've heared about it
[11:06] <HomingHamster> can i "turn" ubuntu into xubuntu using synaptic?
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Slart: its pidgin, i have no idea what settings :)
[11:06] <tuchha12> how can i change my boot from 9 sec to 3
[11:06] <Miguel_2009> ahm dsl = damn small linux :P
[11:06] <tuchha12> ?
[11:06] <DIFH-iceroot> Miguel_2009: its a 50mb linux
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> HomingHamster: yes, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[11:06] <Miguel_2009> tucha12
[11:06] <Miguel_2009> tipe in a terminal:
[11:06] <Slart> HomingHamster: I'm not sure if it will be the same but you can try installing xubuntu-desktop or whatever it's called
[11:06] <HomingHamster> neat, thanks ActionParsnip
[11:06] <Miguel_2009> sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:06] <DIFH-iceroot> Slart: it is the same
[11:06] <Slart> ActionParsnip: ah.. pidgin.. destroyer of irc =)
[11:07] <Miguel_2009> then go to the part it says timeout
[11:07] <Miguel_2009> and change 9 for 3
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> Miguel_2009: gksudo gedit dude, sudo gedit is incorrect
[11:07] <HomingHamster> thanks Slart that sounds about right
[11:07] <Miguel_2009> xD
[11:07] <Slart> ah, thanks DIFH-iceroot
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> Slart: it does irc, cant say fairer than that
[11:07] <Miguel_2009> y use always sudo gedit xDDDDDD
[11:07] <alexb92> does any one have any ideas?
[11:08] <Slart> Miguel_2009: gksudo gedit.. never sudo with a gui
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> Miguel_2009: so it sets up the environment and doesnt break permissions and ownerships on files
[11:08] <Slart> !gksudo | Miguel_2009
[11:08] <zhaozhou> Slart, Great tip, thanks for that!
[11:08] <zhaozhou> Slart, the ctcp time-one
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> Miguel_2009: sudo is for cli apps like nano apt-get cp etc
[11:08] <Miguel_2009> ah great xD
[11:08] <Slart> zhaozhou: yes, it's nice.. there are other ctcp commands too.. I just use version and time
[11:08] <Miguel_2009> i always do from the other way now i'll make it as you say xD
[11:09] <stix_> I have this constant annoying sound on my system.  How do i get wine-dev installed via sources? I want programs to see that i have wine development files on the dependency check.
[11:10] <Miguel_2009> Well i'll take a look to DSM then
[11:10] <alexb92> is there a way to repair ubuntu with the live cd?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: define "repair"
[11:11] <Slart> archman: I think wine-dev is sources... or at least headers
[11:11] <alexb92> well as in my ubuntu wont boot up due to a read only file system as its installed under wubu\
[11:11] <alexb92> wubi*
[11:11] <alexb92> but it was working fine before though
[11:11] <archman> Slart: and how can i point a program when he needs wine-dev files on installtion?
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: i dont think you can fix wubi with live cd, you could maybe mount the hdd imag and work on it from windows
[11:13] <alexb92> lol sorry but im a complete noob when it comes to ubuntu so how do you do that?
[11:13] <alexb92> i tried going into where the ubuntu directory was stored in my C: drive and making it read only there
[11:13] <alexb92> but upon reboot it still didnt recognise it
[11:13] <alexb92> and i tried defragging and disk check
[11:13] <Slart> archman: oh.. I don't really know.. I don't even know where whatever wine-dev installs is located
[11:14] <Slart> archman: /usr/src is a common place.. take a look and see... or check in synaptic what it installs
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: its a windows question really, you need something like magicdisk or some other virtual drive system
[11:14] <alexb92> does windows and ubuntu even get along together? or do they try and fight for the partition and the filesystem
[11:14] <alexb92> i have vmware available?
[11:14] <alexb92> or should i just completely remove it and start fresh?
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: no they dont fight, they can sit side by side and with some config can read each others files
[11:15] <Slart> alexb92: ubuntu is a nice os.. windows not so much
[11:15] <alexb92> i know and i really like ubuntu\
[11:15] <archman> Slart: /usr/include/ , and /usr/share, and libwine.so in /usr/lib/
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: if you are happy to start fresh, its an option
[11:15] <alexb92> its just a pity that there isnt easy ways to fix things unlike windows
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: personally i despise wubi
[11:15] <alexb92> but the annoying thing is that i have files in ubuntu which i cant access though
[11:16] <alexb92> and i did a hell of alot of downloading with synaptic
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: its because its a half ass install of ubuntu from within windows, if you had a proper install you could boot to livecd and repair easily
[11:16] <Slart> alexb92: I meant as in getting along with other os's too.. ubuntu is pretty considerate when it comes to overwriting stuff.. windows is more of a ignorant crybaby =)
[11:16] <alexb92> yeah i know lol
[11:16] <Slart> alexb92: ahhh.. using wubi.. then I can't really say.. haven't used it myself
[11:17] <alexb92> i just did wubi at the time becoz i didnt have the space but now i have an external hdd so yeah i dont mind using that
[11:17] <alexb92> but the hdd is only usb 2.0 not sata or anything
[11:17] <Mass[UB]> Why do I always get time-out when I try to ping an ip from ubuntu?
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: you are also comparing badly due to experience, im sure yuor windows exposure is colossol compared to your linux exposure
[11:17] <Slart> Mass[UB]: uhm.. you're pinging something that isn't answering?
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: you can install to usb in the live cd
[11:18] <alexb92> yeah i know
[11:18] <Mass[UB]> Slart: uhm, no when i do it from Windows it's answering, I'm using ubuntu on virtualhost
[11:18] <AdvoWork> anyone recommend another terminal server client for ubuntu other than the "Terminal Server Client"?
[11:18] <Slart> Mass[UB]: try pinging <IP_ADDRESS>, that's a google machine.. it answers to my pings
[11:18] <Mass[UB]> Trust me it's not the ip not answering
[11:18] <alexb92> i mean my experience with ubuntu is a really positive one i love using ubuntu but its just when it crashes and your a new comer to the OS, its kind of hard to do things if you know what i mean
[11:18] <Slart> Mass[UB]: then you probably don't have networking setup properly.. it's not a ubuntu feature
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: apt-cache search remote desktop
[11:19] <Mass[UB]> --- <IP_ADDRESS> ping statistics ---, 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 2000ms
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: thats when you learn most
[11:19] <alexb92> like in windows if something screws up u can repair with the cd or use software which does the things for u
[11:19] <alexb92> exactly
[11:19] <alexb92> and i want to learn linux becoz its the future OS
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: its one of them
[11:20] <Mayank> is there any windows channel for xp or vista?
[11:20] <Slart> !windows | Mayank
[11:20] <saera> hi im trying to use rythem box with my ipod so i need to convert my ogg files to a format ipod understands
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> saera: i'd rerip your files, converting from one lossy format to another will degrade quality
[11:21] <alexb92> oh is it possible to install ubuntu on a mac?
[11:21] <alexb92> i have a friend who owns a mac and really liked ubuntu when he saw it on my comp
[11:21] <Slart> alexb92: I think so, yes.. a newer intel-cpu mac, that is
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: yes
[11:22] <Snupt> alexb92, why not? ;)
[11:22] <Slart> alexb92: I don't think there's a wubi for os X though
[11:22] <alexb92> how though?
[11:22] <alexb92> i know that mac uses a feature called bootcamp
[11:22] <Slart> !mac
[11:22] <chipt4> alexb92: some models are better supported than others
[11:22] <Slart> bah..
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: you can use standard installs on intel based macs, or get the ppc iso for Gx cpus (theres no flash plugin for ppc)
[11:22] <saera> ActionParsnip, i'd really want to be able not, mp3 is simply compressed music files is it not? where would it loose quality?
[11:23] <chipt4> alexb92: rEFIt is the bootloader, i believe
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> saera: converting to ogg reduces quality of the original, like bmp is to jpeg
[11:23] <chipt4> if it's an intel mac
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> saera: if you convert from ogg to mp3 you will loose even more quality
[11:23] <alexb92> saera: aac is a really good format for music
[11:23] <chipt4> google around for a tutorial on the specific model of mac
[11:23] <Snupt> alexb92, flac better
[11:23] <alexb92> 96kbs of aac = 128 kbs of mp3
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> saera: ogg is an awesome format but not so many players like it (I always buy cowon players due to this fact)
[11:24] <Nothingman> siemanko jakies polaki :> tak  z ciekawości
[11:24] <Nothingman> ;)
[11:24] <alexb92> and it uses half the space
[11:24] <Slart> !mp3
[11:24] <saera> alexb92, i sm uding an ipod, rather i want to use my ipod and cant
[11:24] <redduck666> can i make gnome cycle only through certain windows? (i have two monitors, i'd like windows on one to be fixed while working on the other one)
[11:24] <alexb92> oh right
[11:25] <alexb92> well i know that if you are willing to get custom firmware for your mac, you can play ogg files through it as well
[11:25] <quinn`> hi
[11:25] <alexb92> you can also add more themes and other things too
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: put rockbox on ipod and you have a winner
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> !rockbox
[11:25] <alexb92> yep
[11:25] <alexb92> exactly
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> !ot
[11:25] <alexb92> good choice
[11:25] <alexb92> just the thing
[11:25] <FloodBot2> alexb92: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:26] <nillerz> Hello! How do I mount a windows partition?
[11:26] <Snupt> hm. What happened with  FlodBoot_1_? :)
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> !ntfs-3g | nillerz
[11:27] <Slart> !ntfs | nillerz
[11:27] <vasyok> mount /dev/sdaX /media/windows_partition
[11:27] <vega> a windows partition is not automatically ntfs..
[11:27] <vasyok> mount -t FILESYSTEM_TYPE /dev/sdaX /media/windows_partition
[11:28] <vega> "-t auto" also works quite well
[11:28] <vega> if you are not sure
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> if you install ntfs-3g you can write to plain permissioned files
[11:33] <alexb92> oh another question
[11:33] <alexb92> whats going to be changed in 9.04?
