[03:41] <abhilashm86> is it possible to connect my friends computer using ssh? he gave his username and password to try, i did this on terminal, ssh -b <IP_ADDRESS> 0l rahul, but i can't login even with correct password , help please
[03:41] <Gnea> jplbulls: well, I just confirmed it, they stopped building usb as modules and have started building it directly into the kernel
[03:41] <master_> Curly that is great to no...but how do i get to connect i cant through my browsers or my emails etc?
[03:42] <Curly_Q> Permissions Master and PORT BLOCKS.
[03:42] <jplbulls> Gnea: meaning?? did you check out the last link?
[03:42] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  do you have a user account? or are you using his?
[03:42] <abhilashm86> can anyone give a tutorial to use ssh in remote logins? i searched and found some scripts, so
[03:42] <Gnea> jplbulls: the problem isn't with the load order, since they're built into the kernel now. the solution is to find a way to tell the kernel to prefer one host type over the other - or to disable ehci and only use ohci
[03:42] <Anub|s> hi all, I've been having some trouble with ubuntu ibex, my screen keeps going black and I am in windows right now and was wondering if I should write anything down before I enter back into ubuntu
[03:42] <abhilashm86> smil3y: who's user account?
[03:42] <Biovore> abhilashm86: in a shell/console     ssh username@remoteIP
[03:42] <Gnea> jplbulls: yeah
[03:42] <master_> All: when i do a traceroute i get stacks of ip adresses
[03:42] <abhilashm86> smil3y: i'm using his user account.........
[03:43] <Gnea> jplbulls: but I also looked at the current and previous kernel configs in my /boot
[03:43] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  ssh username@ipaddress  no need for the b
[03:43] <jplbulls> Gnea: alright, any idea how to disable one?
[03:43] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  then enter the password for the user account your trying to login as
[03:43] <Gnea> jplbulls: not yet :/
[03:43] <abhilashm86> smil3y:ok i'l try now and reply, should he enable remote login for this?
[03:43] <FiReSTaRT> ben_: use my nickname when you answer my questions because otherwise i just won't notice your message... now just in case, open the terminal and type sudo apt-get install w32codecs if you're running a 32bit machine or w64codecs if you're running a 64bit machine
[03:43] <switchgirlEEE> Fraxtil: true, I was assuming you wanted to see he numbers on your cpu or something
[03:43] <Gnea> jplbulls: gonna see if the kernel team has a clue
[03:43] <jplbulls> Gnea: no worries, i'm getting better using this keyboard thing
[03:43] <FiReSTaRT> ben_: worst case scenario, it will tell you it's already installed :P
[03:44] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  no need for remote login as far as i know as long as he has openssh running
[03:44] <ben_> FiReSTaRT, i know its installed i installed it 6 months ago when i installed ubuntu
[03:44] <Gnea> jplbulls: cool
[03:44] <abhilashm86> smil3y: should i do this as root or normal user, the ssh should be run under root, which is good?
[03:44] <hank1> i'm trying to find a modem that will work under jaunty.  i had a lucent installed with the dell drivers but it kept dropping the connection.   so now i'm using a lucent winmodem with agere chipset.  lspci finds it, under hardware drivers it says "Agere 164x dsp driver"  it's activated but not in use?
[03:44] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  dont ever do anythig as root
[03:45] <master_> When i do a port scan on my site i get no reply can anyone help
[03:45] <hank1> when I go to gnome ppp and try to dial it says cannot open modem /dev/modem: no such file or directory
[03:45] <ben_> later
[03:45] <abhilashm86> smil3y: ha ha, i've disabled my root account!! just asked, fine thanks:)
[03:45] <hank1> how do i get /dev/modem to point to my modem?
[03:45] <FiReSTaRT> ben_: ok, open synaptic and search for gstreamer.. that should allow you to play mp3's in rhythmbox (GIYF) :)
[03:45] <ben_> its installed also
[03:45] <ben_> ROFL
[03:46] <gralco> help, I'm trying to build virtualbox-so 3.0.6 but its telling me I need to update kbuild but apt is telling me I'm on the latest build from the repos, what should I do?
[03:46] <jplbulls> Gnea: be right back restarting
[03:46] <master_> #ubuntu-uk
[03:46] <FiReSTaRT> ben_: gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3?
[03:47] <master_> hi guys how do i connect to uk chat? or can some one assist me?
[03:47] <scunizi>  gralco are you on kde?
[03:47] <lstarnes> master_: /join #ubuntu-uk
[03:47] <lstarnes> master_: this channel is the primary support channel for ubuntu
[03:47] <gralco> scunizi no, should I be?
[03:47] <ben_> idk what version but i know its installed i remember doing it and have updated it since i installed it
[03:47] <scunizi> gralco: no.. try installing build-essential.. that should do it.
[03:48] <Bruc> hey all
[03:48] <Anub|s> my hp2159m monitor displays 1920 X 1080 in Vista ok, but in ubuntu it seems to eventually degrade to a screen of black with a few multicolored lines streaking it
[03:48] <master_> lstarnes: hi I am having issues with my port and ping of my site maybe you could assist?
[03:48] <abhilashm86> smil3y: how to check what all ports are open? should i use nmap? i know to check my ports, how to do others?
[03:48] <gralco> scunizi good idea I didnt think of that, thanks, I'm sure it'll work
[03:48] <FiReSTaRT> ben_: just out of morbid curiosity install the gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 package
[03:48] <lstarnes> master_: I am seeing everything that you send here, you do not need to repeat
[03:48] <lstarnes> master_: I'm sorry but I do not know how to help with your problem
[03:48] <ben_> i think im switching to archlinux <_< there shit works
[03:48] <Bruc> hey all
[03:48] <Bruc> wsup
[03:48] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  yours? or someone else?
[03:48] <ben_> later
[03:49] <lstarnes> master_: the only thing I can think of is contacting the admins of the site's host
[03:49] <PCTeacher012> What is the best looking window manager, in your opinion?
[03:49] <abhilashm86> smil3y: someone else.........
[03:49] <PCTeacher012> Tried fluxbox, dont like it
[03:49] <PCTeacher012> and E16 keeps screwing up, so that is out of the question :(
[03:49] <Bruc> anyone like this operating system
[03:49] <PCTeacher012> I'm trying XFCE right now
[03:49] <Gnea> !poll | PCTeacher012
[03:49] <PCTeacher012> And  i love ubuntu'
[03:49] <Anub|s> bruc, I used to, lol
[03:49] <master_> lstarnes: its seems everyone else can oing my site see it on google etc...but something is restricting me?
[03:49] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  if you want a gui try zenmap, its nice
[03:50] <Bruc> is it good
[03:50] <PCTeacher012> #ubuntu-bots
[03:50] <abhilashm86> simil3y: ip adress <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:50] <lstarnes> master_: what is the site's IP?
[03:50] <abhilashm86> smil3y: any command line tools>?
[03:50] <Bruc> is it better then Windows.
[03:50] <master_> <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:50] <dsnyders> Anyone familiar with upstart?
[03:50] <Gnea> PCTeacher012: E16 is usually okay, but E17 is a massive improvement - I like it, but I can also get by with gnome, kde, xfce or openbox if I have to
[03:50] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  thats not someone else, thats an internal address..... and nmap is for command line use
[03:50] <lstarnes> master_: I can access it
[03:50] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  zenmap is the gui
[03:50] <lstarnes> master_: I suspect a firewall issue
[03:50] <lstarnes> \/22
[03:50] <lstarnes> oops.
[03:51] <PCTeacher012> Gnea: I cant find out how to install E17 lol
[03:51] <abhilashm86> smil3y: hmm its internal, but with login name and paswrd, still its good for ssh right??
[03:52] <Bruc> what do use now Anub
[03:52] <master_> lstarnes: I dont know what to do I am going to a meeting on monday for linux in london and want to talk to IBM...etc about my site ..would you know what i could do ...i run a port scan and nothing happens?
[03:52] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  you can do a scan of anything, anywhere
[03:52] <gralco> scunizi: build-essential is installed but its still telling me the same thing
[03:52] <lstarnes> master_: it's likely a firewall issue on your system, not the server
[03:53] <abhilashm86> smil3y: thanks a lot for the info!!, i'l try and be back
[03:53] <lstarnes> master_: or the server might be firewalling your IP from connecting
[03:53] <master_> lstarnes: i just did a new install of ubuntu as I thought that would help...but nothing
[03:53] <smil3y> master_>  sounds like you have dns or firewall  problems maybe?
[03:53] <scunizi> gralco: what's it actually saying
[03:54] <master_> dns problems possibly? what would I need to do
[03:54] <gralco> scunizi: after I run kmk all
[03:54] <gralco> /home/eric/Desktop/VirtualBox-3.0.6_OSE
[03:54] <gralco> oops
[03:54] <gralco> it says
[03:54] <gralco> Config.kmk:128: *** You must update kBuild! KMK_REVISION=1777 KBUILD_KMK_REVISION=1779 KBUILD_PATH=/usr/share/kBuild.  Stop.
[03:54] <GamingX> Hey, I just finished installing Ubuntu server, and I am a newbie at it. How would I check what ethernet cards I've got installed ?
[03:54] <FloodBot3> gralco: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:54] <scunizi> gralco: are you building from source?
[03:54] <scunizi> gralco: are you building from source?
[03:54] <gralco> scunizi: yeah
[03:55] <smil3y> master_>  how are you connected to the net? disable all firewalls, routers, etc, and connect directly to modem
[03:55] <hank1> how do i find out where my modem is "mounted" ?  /dev/ttyS...  i ran scanModem and it doesn't say in there.  here is my ModemData.txt http://pastebin.ca/1591640
[03:55] <smil3y> master_>  does it work from another ip address? local cafe? etc?
[03:55] <master_> smily3y: connect to my modem? i dont have firewall installed unless ubuntu installs it okay ill try
[03:55] <scunizi> gralco: there's no need to do that.. go to the vbox site and get the repo info for ubuntu and list it.. then just look in synaptic and install.. you can also just download the .deb for ubuntu .. works great for me.. :)
[03:55] <master_> smily3y: it does
[03:57] <smil3y> master_>  contact your isp, youve got dns issues then
[03:57] <llua> gralco, eric is the best name :}
[03:57] <gralco> llua, lol why's that
[03:58] <buzzomatic> Hi everyone
[03:58] <llua> gralco,  its my name >:}
[03:58] <dsnyders> hank1, It looks like /dev/ttySL0
[03:58] <master__> smily3: you there
[03:58] <downstar1> anyone have HDA INTEL sound with driver ALC662
 /home/eric/Desktop/VirtualBox-3.0.6_OSE
[03:58] <llua> :x
[03:58] <gralco> scunizi: how do I add the ppa
[03:58] <smil3y> master_>  yeah
[03:59] <scunizi> gralco: it's not a ppa.. let me get the link for you.
[03:59] <gralco> llua, haha yeah I pasted the wrong thing
[03:59] <gralco> thanks scunizi
[03:59] <master__> hi okay i have connected to my modem and now my ip is <IP_ADDRESS>...but i cant port scan my site
[03:59] <buzzomatic> I'm having some odd keyboard issues, while typing in gedit my keypresses often get ignored, or duplicated. For example, I'll press CTRL+Z to undo, and nothing will happen, so then I press backspace, and it suddenly deletes half of the line.
[04:00] <hank1> dsnyders: when I put that into gnome ppp it says "-> Cannot open /dev/ttySL0: No such file or directory"
[04:00] <master__> smily3: now i can ping it so would it be a dns problem?
[04:00] <hank1> i've tried a few different modems and i've tried to remove the drivers the best i can
[04:00] <scunizi> gralco: here's the download .deb link.. further down the page I believe are instruction for doing the repos if you want. http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[04:00] <smil3y> master_>  can you browse  to it?
[04:01] <master__> smily3: Ill try
[04:01] <gralco> scunizi: I'm looking for the ose build
[04:01] <dsnyders> hank1, try minicom.  Connect to each ttyS? in turn and type in ATI
[04:01] <scunizi> gralco: why?  it doesn't have usb support
[04:01] <master__> smily3; i can now
[04:01] <abhilashm86> i can do nmap stealth scan for web servers like this-sudo nmap -sS abhilash.co.nr
[04:01] <dsnyders> hank1, you may need to sudo.
[04:02] <abhilashm86> but how to do on local hosts
[04:02] <gralco> scunizi: that's fine
[04:02] <scunizi> gralco: ose is already in the repos.. you should be able to find it in Synaptic Package Manager
[04:02] <hank1> dsnyders installing minicom.  it says it's irq 11, doesn't that translate into ttySX ?
[04:02] <gralco> scunizi: I know but not 3.0.6
[04:02] <smil3y> master_>  what were you connected to before?  a router, then the modem?
[04:02] <master__> www.linuxossolutions.com . opens through my modem
[04:02] <dsnyders> hank1, irqs are dynamically assigned these days.
[04:03] <abhilashm86> smil3y:i can do nmap stealth scan for web servers like this-sudo nmap -sS abhilash.co.nr, if i want to scan ports on <IP_ADDRESS> and login name is abcd, what are my options??
[04:03] <gralco> scunizi: I found the ppa http://ppa.launchpad.net/debfx/virtualbox/ubuntu/
[04:03] <scunizi> gralco: will it really matter with the ose version?
[04:03] <master__> smily3: i was wifi to virgin wirelss router connected to a modem
[04:03] <horuxen> hey... i'm having issues with getting my wifi up and running on my desktop... neither the PCI card nor the USB "stick" are working with ndiswrapper...any ideas?
[04:03] <gralco> scunizi: of course it does, its been update, >=3.0.0 is amazing
[04:04] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  that sounds like a router ip, you dont need to login to do a port scan, not sure what your asking here
[04:04] <gralco> scunizi: I'm still on interpid waiting for karmic
[04:04] <webbb821> i need a hand getdeb wont install a file so i need to install a deb file threw the terminal  whats the command to install it from therminal
[04:04] <lstarnes> webbb821: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[04:04] <master__> smily3: router to modem
[04:04] <webbb821> the file is in my downloads file
[04:04] <scunizi> gralco: I'm on Hardy running the latest vbox but not ose.. I need usb occationally
[04:04] <abhilashm86> smil3y: i want to scan a user on internet..........
[04:05] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  thats not an internet address
[04:05] <constantine> hi all, can someone help me with a display issue in ubuntu?
[04:05] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  thats a local network address, most likely a router
[04:05] <webbb821> lstarnes:  do i need to cd into the directory
[04:06] <shawn_> If Im looking for my Glest game folder where does it defaultly install if I did it from Add/Remove
[04:06] <abhilashm86> smil3y: how? like that ip is same for most, i think NAT shares it.......
[04:06] <lstarnes> webbb821: try sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb
[04:06] <master__> any ideas what the problem is with my router?
[04:06] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  any ip that starts with 192.168 is a local network
[04:06] <hank1> dsnyders:  found my answer, but the modem's not responding
[04:06] <hank1> /dev/tty8
[04:06] <hank1> minicom detected it
[04:07] <Bruc> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnjb8Hx76u8&NR=1
[04:07] <abhilashm86> so u say, each has other ip address, like most webservers..........
[04:07] <hank1> might be a bad modem though i bought a pile of them for cheap.  thanks for the help.  gonna try a few others
[04:07] <dsnyders> hank1, is this an internal or external modem
[04:07] <hank1> internal
[04:07] <smil3y> abhilashm86> http://www.duxcw.com/faq/network/privip.htm  read it , know it
[04:08] <dsnyders> hank1, before you shut down, dmesg|grep modem
[04:08] <courpse> Each computer tha is connected to a router, or connects to the internet/network via a switch/hub/router has a local ip, they start in 192.168.* or 10.1.* most of the time.
[04:08] <master__> smily3: was it my router?
[04:08] <courpse> This is INTERNAL LAN IP.
[04:08] <hank1> nothing shows up
[04:08] <abhilashm86> smil3y: ok fine,but using this <IP_ADDRESS> and username, i did a remote login using vncserver, now seeing ssh, ok i'l read and get back!!
[04:08] <dsnyders> hank1, what about lspci?
[04:08] <webbb821> lstarnes: im getting a command not found
[04:09] <hank1> 02:0a.0 Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem
[04:09] <courpse> abhilashm86, I suggest you go learn some basics of networking.
[04:09] <lstarnes> webbb821: check spelling
[04:09] <hank1> it says the driver is activated but not in use
[04:09] <hank1> not there.. but in the hardware drivers
[04:09] <hank1> so it sees it, just not communicating
[04:09] <dsnyders> hank1, Winmodem?  I don't know if they ever got those fixed.
[04:09] <abhilashm86> smil3y: ifconfig returns a ip address, that is local machine's right
[04:09] <smil3y> master_>  sounds like maybe the gateway address isnt what your isp is? you using a proxy?
[04:09] <abhilashm86> courpse: ifconfig returns a ip address, that is local machine's right
[04:09] <webbb821> sudo dpkg-i /home/brian/Downloads/telepathy-butterfly_0.5.1-1_all.deb
[04:09] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  thats your internal ip
[04:10] <lstarnes> webbb821: no
[04:10] <master__> hi smily3: that is the case with my gateway
[04:10] <lstarnes> webbb821: you missed a space
[04:10] <courpse> abhilashm86, ifconfig, returns your IP address, your default gateway, and your submask.
[04:10] <hank1> i read in another forum some guy had this modem working in several flavors of linux that's why i went with it
[04:10] <lstarnes> webbb821: dpkg -i, not dpkg-i
[04:10] <hank1> but that was awhile ago
[04:10] <smil3y> master_>  souds like it
[04:10] <master__> how would i fix?
[04:11] <hank1> this is frustrating because i'm setting this up for a friend and this is the last thing i need to get figured out before i give the system to him
[04:11] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  google for "myip" to get your external i[p
[04:11] <hank1> i should've worked on this first
[04:11] <dsnyders> hank1, Okay, I personally lean towards external USRobotics myself.  I don't think I can help much.
[04:11] <abhilashm86> courpse: ifconfig, yes and thats what i used all this time, http://www.whatismyip.com/ what is this? the router ip right??
[04:11] <mdkess> Has anyone using Karmic had the problem that Gdk mouse motion events (ie. BUTTON1_MOTION_MASK) aren't registering?
[04:11] <abhilashm86> smil3y:yes and thats what i used all this time, http://www.whatismyip.com/ what is this? the router ip right??
[04:11] <hank1> dsnyders thanks anyway gonna try some others
[04:12] <constantine> someone plz pm me re:ubuntu display problem
[04:12] <smil3y> master_>  whats your gateway now ?   type route in a terminal and the last # will be your gateway
[04:13] <thiagocrepaldi> which tools is used on ubuntu docuemntation ? (http://help.ubuntu.com)
[04:13] <thiagocrepaldi> mediawiki ?
[04:13] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  yeah thats your external ip
[04:13] <dsnyders> HI all!   Can I re-run a file in /etc/event.d without rebooting the whole system?
[04:13] <master__> gateway shows * smily3
[04:14] <abhilashm86> smil3y: can i call that as router ip?? when i traced its location, it was router?
[04:14] <optimizer> is there a good program to do "ftp diff" ? i.e. there is a FTP site I want to monitor, and I want to know when files on it changes
[04:14] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  huh?
[04:14] <abhilashm86> smil3y: but in command line we cannot get external ip??:))
[04:15] <smil3y> master_>  what does last line say? after default
[04:15] <smil3y> master_>  should be a number there
[04:15] <abhilashm86> smil3y: ??? was that very bad i asked?
[04:15] <shawn_> How can I get Glest to play in a window
[04:15] <Prohibited> How do you get it so when you install Packages the files go onto my external hard drive?
[04:15] <master__> smily3: its my log in again my default shows cpc2-hers3-0-0 etc
[04:16] <Exodus> optimizer, ftp is the file transfer protocol, you can't really diff files on an ftp server, you should use version control, or hash your files and ssh access.
[04:16] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  i just had no idea what you said, ask a question that is decipherable
[04:16] <master__> smily3: <IP_ADDRESS>     *               <IP_ADDRESS>   U     1      0        0 eth0
[04:16] <master__> default         cpc2-hers3-0-0- <IP_ADDRESS>         UG    0      0        0 eth0
[04:16] <master__> sorry all
[04:16] <abhilashm86> smil3y:that external ip, how to get via command line? any command
[04:17] <smil3y> master__>  that ip address you just gave <IP_ADDRESS> should be your gateway on your router
[04:17] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  no way
[04:18] <gralco> scunizi: I think I got it
[04:18] <scunizi> gralco: good
[04:18] <master__> So i need to chnge my gateway to that ip once i connect again to my router?
[04:18] <abhilashm86> smil3y: please see this thread in ubuntuforums, i asked there, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8030318#post8030318
[04:18] <smil3y> master__>  yes
[04:18] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  i dont use forums
[04:19] <master__> okay ill read....thankyou i shall attempt...I would love you to join the site i am creating if you dont mind me asking
[04:19] <scunizi> smil3y: master__ that looks like an external ip assigned by the ISP.. not the gateway address.. that's typically in the same subnet at the lan IP's.. ie. 192.168.###.###
[04:19] <durt> smil3y, there is no way an IP address with 0 at the end is a valid address on a class C subnet, it's probably .1 or .254
[04:20] <master__> ???? should i not scunizi...durt
[04:20] <Dhuski> whats better shiretoko or ubufox?
[04:20] <Exodus> Dhuski, they're different things
[04:20] <smil3y> scunizi>  yeah i asked him to give me the output of route, the default should be his gateway, i have no way of knowing if he gave me the right one or not
[04:20] <Dhuski> Exodus, which one do you recommend i use?
[04:21] <abhilashm86> smil3y: ok fine!! so i need to use external ip address that website gave to locate and login for other users!!
[04:21] <Exodus> Dhuski, shiretoko is firefox 3.5, ubufox is something that is added to firefox to make it more compatible with ubuntu
[04:21] <scunizi> smil3y: did you get his subnet?.. if so it's probably just <IP_ADDRESS> for the gateway
[04:21] <Exodus> Dhuski, every firefox release has a codename. "shiretoko" is firefox 3.5's codename.
[04:22] <Exodus> Dhuski, you should have both installed
[04:22] <master__> scunizi...smily3: I ran route in terminal and got...Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
[04:22] <master__> <IP_ADDRESS>     *               <IP_ADDRESS>   U     1      0        0 eth0
[04:22] <master__> default         cpc2-hers3-0-0- <IP_ADDRESS>         UG    0      0        0 eth0
[04:22] <smil3y> scunizi>  nope, i had hime disconnect his router and connect to modem directly
[04:22] <Dhuski> Exodus, thanks...
[04:22] <Exodus> Dhuski, np
[04:22] <scunizi> smil3y: ah.. then the modem gateway will be similar
[04:23] <smil3y> scunizi>  now hes not getting an ip for default hes just getting his isp name
[04:23] <smil3y> scunizi>  but he can connect to his website now
[04:23] <scunizi> smil3y: is this dsl? pppoe?
[04:23] <Dhuski> !flood > master__
[04:24] <durt> master__, why do you have <IP_ADDRESS> as a netmask?
[04:24] <smil3y> scunizi>  no idea, didnt ask, hes got router problems, most likelt screwed with settings and now has dns issues
[04:24] <master__> www.linuxossolutions.com    can connect through my modem...but not through my router with my wireless..
[04:24] <Exodus> durt, a lot of isp's configure your netmask that way
[04:24] <scunizi> smil3y: easily fixed with a hard reset of the router
[04:25] <abhilashm86> smil3y: can you give link for network basics in linux? ssh and tools.....
[04:25] <smil3y> master__>  i would reset to default all your router settings, turn everything off, connect router, and retry to connet to your site
[04:25] <master__> all: i have done a hard reset twice
[04:25] <smil3y> abhilashm86>  just google, its easier that way
[04:25] <master__> smily3: it works for a hour then bang gone again
[04:26] <master__> durt: I didnt understand
[04:26] <durt> Exodus, yes, that's my point, if it is set by the ISP no prob, if he set it manually then there's a prob.
[04:26] <smil3y> master__>  does that bring router back to factory default?
[04:26] <abhilashm86> smil3y:it can give lots, thought u would give what u refereed:) fine i'l do that, thanks a lot.........
[04:26] <smil3y> master__>  have you messed with *any* settings on it? prior to having problems?
[04:27] <Exodus> durt, probably. Although i'm not following his problem, too far in the chat history so i wouldn't know really :)
[04:27] <master__> smily3: it does but i cant run the virgin exe file through wine and struggle to get it set up
[04:27] <durt> Exodus, ditto
[04:27] <smil3y> master__>  what router is it? ?
[04:27] <Chazz> Help, I just updated to Karmic, and now my synaptic touchpad doesn't work. Anyone know how to fix it?
[04:27] <master__> smily3: give me a sec
[04:27] <smil3y> master__>  you need a windows program to set it up?  thats nonsense
[04:28] <fearful> !karmic | Chazz

[04:30] <scunizi> master__: smil3y I use to have a netgear 624 something.. when it started to flak out it did pretty much the same thing.. might be time to invest in another.. I went with linksys.
[04:30] <master__> smily3: you rock if you could can you join my site im looking for engineers etc thank you
[04:31] <Umeaboy1> Chazz: (05.30.35) NickServ: (notice) Insufficient parameters for GHOST.

[04:32] <master__> smily3: at moment im still building but having people just email me with ideas ...i want to make a site for linux but have input from all of us...can we link..please email if we can linux is the platform
[04:32] <smil3y> scunizi>  a big +1

[04:35] <prappl93> Anyone know how to make Rhythmbox reshuffle the list? Sort of like what iTunes does when you go all the way back then hit play again?
[04:35] <master__> thankyou smily3: i shall be in touch
[04:35] <delt> even bigger channel than #linux... hehe
[04:35]  * leaf-sheep add an email address to spam later
[04:35] <PCTeacher012> thanks scunizi
[04:35] <master__> steve: rory
[04:35] <delt> so, is there a live-cd (test run) for this hairy-hardon or whatever?
[04:36] <magikid> prappl93: Have you tried just unclicking and reclicking the shuffle button?
[04:36] <scunizi> PCTeacher012: np :)
[04:36] <prappl93> magikid, that doesn't work
[04:36] <PCTeacher012> There we go :D:D
[04:36] <PCTeacher012> The smilies are so scary on pidgin.. imma install irssi >:)
[04:36] <Maxwell_> Yes, I do know that I should probably pastebin this, BUT....My system is not  booting, when I try to fsck it I get the following error: "The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
[04:36] <Maxwell_> filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
[04:36] <Maxwell_> filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else),"
[04:36] <PCTeacher012> much beter
[04:36] <prappl93> magikid, that does work actually.. maybe
[04:36] <shawn_> delt Do you mean for Ubuntu or for the old version?
[04:36] <scunizi> PCTeacher012: screen and irssi rocks..
[04:37] <Maxwell_> Any ideas? :'(
[04:37] <Maxwell_> I haven't done anything odd and it oughtn't to be buttfucking up like this.
[04:37] <delt> shawn_: what do you recommend?
[04:37] <magikid> prappl93: I'm not sure if it does what you want, but that'd be my first thing to try
[04:37] <Maxwell_> HALP!
[04:37] <shawn_> delt The most recent version is Jaunty so I recommend downloading that from the Ubuntu site and you can burn yourself a Live CD yes
[04:37] <master__> All: I would love to open a chat focussed around the site I am creating and would love people to get interactive with me is that possible?
[04:37] <thiebaude> !language | Maxwell_
[04:37] <prappl93> magikid, that does not do it. I want it to play a different set of randomized music instead of the same set
[04:38] <delt> kthx
[04:38] <PCTeacher012> how do i set irssi to this server?
[04:38] <magikid> prappl93: I'm not sure what you're trying to do then
[04:38] <Maxwell_> What language?
[04:38] <Maxwell_> What kind of crack are you smoking, thiebaude?
[04:38] <Maxwell_> Seriously.
[04:38] <fearful> Maxwell_, yelling
[04:39] <thiebaude> !offtopic | Maxwell_
[04:39] <bastid_raZor> PCTeacher012: all the irssi help you need in #irssi
[04:39] <edlang> I'm trying to disable my synaptic trackpad. Does anyone know how to do that?
[04:39] <Maxwell_> That has to be one of the most pathetic things I have seen someone use a bot to do in a long time :)
[04:39] <Maxwell_> Either way, any ideas as to a solution?
[04:39] <scunizi> Maxwell_: there are kid in here occationally.. so the language needs to stop
[04:39] <magikid> edlang: gsynaptics is a configuration tool for Synaptics touchpad driver of X server
[04:39] <PCTeacher012> what is this network...
[04:39] <master__> www.linuxossolutions.com can i start a chat around that?
[04:40] <smil3y> Maxwell_>  err  first time to IRC?
[04:40] <Umeaboy1> Chazz: In #freenode I've got just ONE nickname.
[04:40] <magikid> edlang: You should be able to find it in add/remove programs or apt-get
[04:40] <prappl93> edlang, System > Preferences > Mouse then select the Touchpad tab and disable it in there.
[04:40] <Maxwell_> smil3y: No, millionth.
[04:40] <edlang> prappl93: In Karmic, there's only the option to disable it while typing. I want to disable it completely.
[04:40] <edlang> magikid: Cool, thanks. I'll try that.
[04:40] <Maxwell_> smil3y: I am just not used to people acting in such a ridiculous manner, more concerned about whining than helping people, but I guess it does happen.
[04:41] <master__> i cant wwait for karmic
[04:41] <nossralsuva> hi, what is the deal with Firefox quitting unexpectedly? My firefox quits like freaking crazy, any help would be greatly appreciated.
[04:41] <durt> Maxwell_, if no one has an answer for you, I suggest googling 'superblock fsck'
[04:41] <Umeaboy1> master__: Use the beta then. :)
[04:41] <prappl93> edlang, for future reference, #ubuntu+1 is the channel for all beta's
[04:41]  * lolcats
[04:41] <flippo> nossralsuva, make sure it is up to date.  It had a few bugs that caused it to crash more than usual.
[04:41] <Maxwell_> durt: doing that, but I prefer the interactiveness of channels.
[04:42] <edlang> prappl93: OK.
[04:42] <master__> umeaboy1: sorry
[04:42] <edlang> magikid: Is that setting persistent?
[04:42] <master__> oh yes the KARMIC is it good
[04:42] <edlang> magikid: or do I need to restart synclient in some way each session?
[04:42] <nossralsuva> okay, so i guess this 3.04 version needs to be updated to 3.5 or greater?
[04:42] <durt> Maxwell_, well if you get more info maybe that will jog someones memory, but for now nobody knows, ask again in 5
[04:42] <master__> ive been on ubuntu for a year and a half ..love the problems and people that help
[04:42] <Bluey> nosra - yes
[04:43] <prappl93> edlang, what company manufactured your computer? It doesn't help you some how that I know this, but I have a Dell and it uses Synaptic... they aren't bad touchpads but they are annoying
[04:43] <nossralsuva> now, my next question is how do i do that? i've apt-get update & upgrade and it never seems to upgrade the firefox?
[04:43] <meoblast001> hi, i accidently broke my sources.list and i can't seem to remember where it's at
[04:43] <magikid> edlang: What setting? Maybe I didn't make myself clear, that is an app that will allow you to customize your mousepad.
[04:43] <master__> so i need to get a new router...damn..this one was given to me by my provider for free...will i be safe straight to the modem
[04:43] <durt> meoblast001, /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:43] <prappl93> nossralsuva, what version of Ubuntu do you have?
[04:43] <edlang> prappl93: it's a Lenovo T61
[04:44] <nossralsuva> prappl93: i am using 8.04.3
[04:44] <meoblast001> durt: ok, thanks, i was very tired and couldn't remember where it was
[04:44] <durt> np
[04:44] <Umeaboy1> master__: Sorry for what?
[04:44] <prappl93> nossralsuva, is that an extended version?
[04:44] <Bluey> nossralsuva - try this:  sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
[04:44] <edlang> magikid: the one that's equivalent to synclient TouchpadOff=1
[04:44] <master__> im going to upgrade to KARMIC now what were the keys again
[04:44] <edlang> magikid: however, about thirty seconds after I exit gsynaptics, the trackpad is enabled again
[04:45] <master__> Umeaboy1: i forgot what I was asked so is Karmic fun...
[04:45] <prappl93> nossralsuva, are you using 8.04.3 as a limited support? Because if you are I think that maybe be the factor...
[04:45] <nossralsuva> Bluey: it could not find the packager, error
[04:45] <magikid> edlang: For me, it's always been persistent.
[04:45] <Bluey> hmmm
[04:46] <Umeaboy1> master__: Define fun, please.
[04:46] <nossralsuva> prappl93: it is the 8.0.4LTS
[04:46] <master__> uMEABOY
[04:46] <prappl93> nossralsuva, it won't update it then if it is LTS I believe
[04:46] <nossralsuva> prappl93: should i move and go to 9.04 then?
[04:46] <Ali_nz> anyone know why Gparted Live CD, wont let me me resize /dev/sda1 (linux boot) to full size of disk
[04:47] <prappl93> nossralsuva, If you want to. I would probably do that. Your call
[04:47] <PCTeacher012> Finally :D:D On irssi :D:D
[04:47] <nutterpc> I suppose you could say I'm one of the lucky ones who has everything working on their ubuntu install hey :P
[04:47] <master__> Umeaboy1: i did a clean install of 9.04 as I have been having problems connecting to linuxossolutions.com through my router...smily3 helped but i am now connected to my modem and seems like my router is playing up...so i might as well go to the beta of Karmic now as my pc is fresh again
[04:47] <nossralsuva> prappl93: can do, i'd receive the 8.04LTS from the ubuntu unleased book
[04:49] <paipimenta> anybody know how to resize the actual /dev/sda2 partition that my LVM is on?
[04:49] <master__> does anyone know how i can set up a chat and have this community help me in building my site or linking systems we need to take over the world lol...
[04:49] <Bluey> gosh I am not sure what repo I used for ff 3.5..
[04:49] <Bluey> let me look
[04:49] <paipimenta> volume group, physical volume, everything fits in 25Gig, partition is 58 Gig
[04:49] <TNA5000> does anyone know why when I mount an esata ext3 drive it shows up with the name 'MEDIA #drivesize#' rahter than its label?
[04:49] <Bluey> !firefox-3.5
[04:49] <Bluey> okay there you go.
[04:50] <Umeaboy1> master__: Do so. :)
[04:51] <Umeaboy1> You remember the command?
[04:51] <master__> no not currently
[04:51] <paipimenta> how do I resize my /dev/sda2?  currently a Linux LVM partition
[04:51] <Umeaboy1> sudo update-manager -d
[04:51] <paipimenta> #lvm is DEAD
[04:51] <prappl93> harisund, did you ever find anything to fix that issue? I just ended up uninstalling gnome-pilot
[04:51] <nossralsuva> prappl93, Bluey: thanks alot guys
[04:51] <TNA5000> paipimenta: use gparted
[04:51] <Bluey> welcome - hope that helps...
[04:51] <prappl93> nossralsuva, no problem
[04:52] <master__> here we go
[04:52] <leaf-sheep> master__: Do the command first --> takeover --city "London"
[04:52] <harisund> prappl93: no man, I couldn't replicate it so I am not sure what I am trying to fix :( Did you like file a bug report or something somewhere?
[04:52] <gsevil> after update to ubuntu 9.10, my screen resolution is only 1024x768, can you help me?
[04:52] <nossralsuva> prappl93, Bluey: I have 9.04 but was hesistant, wanted to wait a bit before i moved from it, since i started off w/ ubuntu from 6.06
[04:52] <leaf-sheep> !karmic | gsevil
[04:52] <Ali_nz> is there any reason I cant resize my ext3 Ubunutu partition from Gparted live???
[04:53] <Umeaboy1> master__: Did it work?
[04:53] <prappl93> harisund, no, not yet. I once had "Automatically remember running applications when logging out" checked and I unchecked that, but it still had gnome-pilot pop up
[04:53] <TNA5000> Ali_nz: I would download the gparted live CD and do it from there
[04:53] <master__> leaf-sheep: my site im starting is for linux and i would love all of you to be part of building it...i bought all the domains so we can ...assist the creator linus
[04:53] <Bluey> nossralsuva -- you're more experienced then me - I started with ubuntu 8.04, but I have 2 years SuSE experience prior to that...
[04:53] <master__> Umeaboy1 im going
[04:53] <Ali_nz> TNA5000: I am using the live CD
[04:54] <master__> nervous i have been waiting
[04:54] <Ali_nz> I just cloned from a 40gb to a 250gb
[04:54] <TNA5000> Ali_nz: then you should be fine
[04:54] <Ali_nz> It boots ok
[04:54] <Maxwell_> How do I repair a bad superblock, or at least get all my files off of that drive before formatting.
[04:54] <nossralsuva> Bluey: I too started w/ suse 9.3 a few years ago, then recently switched to the .deb world
[04:54] <Maxwell_> ?
[04:54] <leaf-sheep> master__: Good luck. You may gather more followers in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:54] <Ali_nz> but i need to resize partions
[04:54] <Ali_nz> to make use of slack space on bigger disk
[04:54] <tobi> Hi all
[04:54] <TNA5000> Ali_nz: you can do it with gparted
[04:54] <nossralsuva> Bluey: i've been running virtual versions in suse and fedora
[04:54] <Umeaboy1> Maxwell: Unmount your system and do fsck.
[04:54] <Ali_nz> it wont let me make the 40gb partion any bigger
[04:54] <Bluey> nossralsuva -- only bad thing about SuSE -- zypper  == otherwise really like it - still on a couple of my systems
[04:54] <master__> Leaf its not folllowers i want its a site dedicated to linux....it for myself even but thanks for the link
[04:54] <nossralsuva> Bluey: i like the debian world it is nice
[04:55] <tobi> just plugged a router in and I am unable to talk to it on address http//:<IP_ADDRESS>
[04:55] <Ali_nz> TNA5000: when you open the rsize window the maximum size is the same as the partion size (even tho I have 150Gb in unallocated)
[04:55] <Bluey> nossralsuva -- mixed -- ubuntu makes me install a lot of programmes, that SuSE didn't
[04:55] <tobi> Ican talk through it and ping another computer and get on to the internet ok
[04:55] <paipimenta> Ali_nz: what's the question again?
[04:55] <TNA5000> Ali_nz: you have to make sure the extra space is there and not partitioned and it is also beside the partition you want to expand
[04:56] <Ali_nz> ok, its not next to the partion
[04:56] <Ali_nz> how would i fix that
[04:56] <Bluey> nossralsuva -- most frustrating thing about ubuntu -- I spent 6 months off and on, trying to get my scanner working -- worked fine first time in SuSE -- not so with ubuntu
[04:57] <nossralsuva> Bluey: yeah this firefox thing just drove me a bit batty
[04:57] <nossralsuva> Bluey: so far i've stuck w/ HP products because of their compatibility w/ linux
[04:57] <nossralsuva> Bluey: so i avoided those problems early on
[04:57] <master__> im upgrading ...so my router cant be changed then as smily3 was saying
[04:58] <Bluey> mossralsuva -- It's an HP printer, with an HP computer...
[04:58] <Ali_nz> there was some other small unknwon partition in between
[04:58] <TNA5000> Ali_nz: you should be able to choose to move the partition
[04:58] <Bluey> worked in mmmVista, and SuSE but not ubuntu --
[04:58] <nossralsuva> Bluey: but we, as linux users are getting there slowly, we are being recognized and those other OS's will have to look over their shoulders b/c the underdogs aren't to far behind
[04:58] <Ali_nz> I deleted it and now I can reszie (i couldnt move it) - will see what happens :-)
[04:58] <Ali_nz> i suppose then i need to edit grub because partition size changed?
[04:59] <TNA5000> Ali_nz: not sure bout needing to edit grub after the resize
[04:59] <IC3> to the general public they dont no about linux so when they hear oit they just go wtf
[05:00] <Ali_nz> guess we will find out soon enough :-)
[05:00] <prappl93> How do I log in as root in the terminal?
[05:00] <TNA5000> good luck
[05:00] <IC3> sudo
[05:00] <Umeaboy1> prappl93: sudo or su -
[05:00] <lstarnes> prappl93: sudo -i
[05:00] <prappl93> Umeaboy1, thanks
[05:00] <doug9_> hello, Looking for a how to to access a hard drive from my past computer. It's on usb.
[05:00] <lstarnes> prappl93: or run a command preceded with sudo
[05:00] <TNA5000> does anyone know how to mount an external drive with a name that is not 'Media #drivesize#'?
[05:01] <nossralsuva> prappl93: i recommend not to log in as root but use sudo or su for those powers
[05:01] <paipimenta> TNA5000: !Warning: Logical Volume Management is not yet supported
[05:01] <tobi> anyone know why i can't ping my router?
[05:01] <tobi> can talk through it
[05:01] <johnni> I have a Nvidia 8400 GS graphics card...any help how to get it installed?
[05:01] <paipimenta> that's what GParted had to say, so don't tell anyone else asking about resizing an LVM partition to use GParted again
[05:01] <Bluey> tobi - prolly becuase ping is turned off by default in the router - mine came that way
[05:02] <lstarnes> tobi: are you able to access the internet through that router?
[05:02] <tobi> I can ping it with a windows machine
[05:02] <thiebaude> johnni, i have the same card
[05:02] <tobi> yes doing so now
[05:02] <johnni> thiebaude, did you get yours installed where you can run like 3d and compiz and that?
[05:02] <TNA5000> paipimenta: I had a USB drive that when mounted it showed up on the desktop as BACKUP (what I labeld the drive), then reformated it and now it shows up as 'Media #drivesize#'. How can I get it to show up with a name of my likeing?
[05:02] <Maxwell_> Umeaboy1: I unmounted, I ran fsck.
[05:02] <thiebaude> johnni, yes
[05:03] <johnni> thiebaude, can you tell me how? please
[05:03] <constantine> I have ibex, should I upgrade ?
[05:03] <harisund> Why is it that if I select "no theme" for my GDM login screen I am not allowed to auto-login myself but if I use the Ubuntu -human theme I can auto login?
[05:03] <thiebaude> johnni did you goto Syetem-admistration-Hardware drivers
[05:03] <doug9_> can super grub disk help me get access to a drive on a usb?
[05:03] <thiebaude> ?
[05:03] <paipimenta> what did you format it with?
[05:03] <lstarnes> constantine: intrepid will be supported until april
[05:03] <paipimenta> TNA5000: ?
[05:03] <johnni> doug9_, yes and it just sit on installing driver then finally installed it and still says I can't enable 3d effects so that doesn't work
[05:03] <TNA5000> paipimenta: gparted as ext3
[05:03] <johnni> I mean thiebaude sorry
[05:04] <constantine> istames, can I then upgrade without losing all of my info?
[05:04] <xangua> yes
[05:04] <thiebaude> johnni, let ubuntu search for the driver its 180
[05:04] <lstarnes> constantine: you can upgrade through the package manager
[05:04] <Celroc> Hi all. I think something went wrong with my software update manager; it's stuck when trying to install the updates. How do I set it to re-download and start over with the updates?

[05:05] <mo0nykit> Hi! I have a problem with my Ubuntu 9.04 fresh install on an Acer Aspire 4520. When I press Ctrl-Alt-F1, (or switch to any virtual console for that matter), the screen goes black around the center with some white regions around the edges. The same thing happens when I shut it down (and requires a press of the Enter key to fully shutdown). What could be the problem?
[05:05] <xangua> wont continue to install or downlaod ¿ Celroc
[05:05] <TNA5000> paipimenta: I thought there is a way to mount a drive and give it a meaningfull name, no?

[05:07] <Sparkie> and i select boot from onboard or usb cd-rom drive
[05:07] <theblue> Hi all.
[05:07] <PCTeacher012> xangua: I hate pidgin haha. I use it for yahoo messenger only. For MSN i use aMSN, for IRC i use irssi :P

[05:08] <theblue> I'm running jaunty UNR, and i'm having trouble burning a video DVD using AVI files; I can't find an obvious way to convert and burn them.
[05:08] <Guest70226> where do i find an old linux kernel?
[05:08] <theblue> Could someone walk me through the process?
[05:08] <Biovore> Guest70226: kernel.org
[05:08] <harisund> Why is it that if I select "no theme" for my GDM login screen I am not allowed to auto-login myself but if I use the Ubuntu -human theme I can auto login?
[05:08] <Bluey> sparkie did you check the md5sums?
[05:09] <Sparkie> no, what are they?
[05:09] <Ali_nz> if you have a lot of disk spaced used, and want to see where its all been gobbeled up, how would you do it?
[05:09] <Celroc> Hey all, I think something went wrong when my update manager tried to update; it appeared to download the updates, but at the part where it installs it hangs. Is there anyway I can reset it and have it re-download the updates?
[05:09] <Bluey> sparkie  - they are like a checksum - to make sure what you got matches what was sent....
[05:09] <Guest70226> which version of the linux kernel does not have stack buffer overflow protection?
[05:09] <Bluey> sparkie private message ok?
[05:09] <constantine> xangua: thanks!

[05:18] <ryguy> is there a way to install 9.10 on a separate partition from a running ubuntu partition
[05:19] <Umeaboy> ryguy: Yes.
[05:19] <Umeaboy> Use gparted.
[05:19] <owen1> any reccommendation for a DVB-T USB dongle (for watching tv)?
[05:19] <ryguy> Umeaboy: I have gparted, so do I just resize the main partiton to make unallocated space?
[05:19] <Dr_Willis> You can use that debootstrap tool/feature i recall.  to install ubuntu to another place from within a rnning linux disrto also.
[05:20] <Umeaboy> ryguy: Yes. Not the home-partition.
[05:20] <ryguy> I have no spare cds and this thing cant boot from usb
[05:20] <Dr_Willis> using debootstrap can be a bit complex. But its doable.. good luck with it.

[05:32] <scunizi> Celroc: stuck doing the update?
[05:33] <Celroc> scunizi: Yeah
[05:33] <scunizi> Celroc: update or upgrade to the latest version?
[05:33] <Celroc> scunizi: The packages are supposedly downloaded, but won't install
[05:33] <scunizi> you didn't answer the question
[05:34] <Celroc> scunizi: Not sure about whether it is an upgrade or an update... I tried getting them through the normal update maanger at first, but same issue
[05:34] <scunizi> !dpkg
[05:35] <saliak> anyone had luck running ubuntu on a eeepc900?
[05:35] <screaminbeman> can someone plz tell me how do i increase my vbox size
[05:35] <Celroc> scunizi: Thanks... How do I tell it to re-download the packages and try the install again?
[05:36] <scunizi> Celroc: I'm stuck then.. with either you're issue might require a reconfiguration of dpkg .. It's a fairly easy command to initiate but I'm afraid I've forgotten what it is..
[05:36] <O___o> does ubuntu have software that is similar to math input panel in windows 7?
[05:37] <screaminbeman> can someone plz help me

[05:39] <screaminbeman> i need to download some windows software for school.  but i need to resize my vbox.
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> screaminbeman:   if you mean rezise the virutal hard drive of a installed os. I belive thats doable.  Check the virtualbox docs yet?
[05:39] <saliak> voss: the issue i'm having is with the lid switch.  it seems to always change the power state for me
[05:39] <saliak> voss: so if i turn the machine off with the power button, closing the lid turns it back on
[05:40] <saliak> voss : is there a way to disable any behavior based on the lid switch?  i changed all the "power preferences" to ignore the lid switch but that didn't make a difference
[05:40] <O___o> the math input panel is so tempting for me switch back to use windows again after like 3 years of using ubuntu

[05:44] <albertxiaoyu> I want to see the source code of  program :echo . In my ubuntu system , how can I do that?
[05:44] <Dr_Willis> screaminbeman:  and be more concise. You with to resize the virtual hard drive of a virtualbox session correct?
[05:44] <albertxiaoyu> Anyone can help ?
[05:44] <albertxiaoyu> I want to see the source code of  program :echo . In my ubuntu system , how can I do that?

[05:45] <Biovore> albertxiaoyu: I belive echo is part of coreutils package..
[05:45] <Gnea> albertxiaoyu: find out what package it's installed in, then install the source package of it
[05:46] <albertxiaoyu> let me see .....
[05:47] <Dr_Willis> screaminbeman:  for a quick fix. you could add a 2nd virtual hard drive to the vbox session/os and move stuff over to it.
[05:47] <miyako> 'lo
[05:47] <Biovore> albertxiaoyu: I think what your looking for is: sudo apt-get source coreutils
[05:47] <Biovore> os something like that

[05:48] <Celroc> Hey guys, I found an error message with the update manager: "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." I tried it and it hasn't fixed it, though. What else should I try?
[05:49] <Biovore> albertxiaoyu: echo part of a bigger thing.

[05:55] <jasonmchristos> Celroc: just cut and paste the command into terminal. did it ask for the password?
[05:55] <_MattB> Dr_Willis, thx, checking now
[05:55] <Celroc> jasonmchristos: Yeah, but when I tried to update it It would still get stuck again
[05:56] <jasonmchristos> Celroc: hmmm. always try restarting. then run the fix
[05:56] <Celroc> jasonmchristos: I think I'm getting it, though. I ran "sudo dpkg --remove (package name) and that may have helped

[05:57] <Celroc> jasonmchristos: .... or not. I'll try restarting
[05:57] <jasonmchristos> Celroc: what repo is it from?
[05:58] <Celroc> jasonmchristos: Not sure. It's a OpenOffice update
[05:58] <jasonmchristos> Celroc: is it from the standard sources?
[05:58] <paipimenta> how do I resize /dev/sda2 with an LVM partition on it?
[05:58] <Celroc> jasonmchristos: Yeah
[05:58] <paipimenta> is that possible?
[05:59] <jasonmchristos> Celroc: well restart and run that command, otherwise do a Complete removal of the package first then add it back
[06:00] <Celroc> jasonmchristos: Ok. brb
[06:00] <jasonmchristos> Celroc: but this will remove any settings you may have set
[06:00] <Celroc> jasonmchristos: Oh. Well, that's ok.
[06:00] <Shadow121> Anyone know where i can get a STABLE skype?
[06:01] <lstarnes> Shadow121: I thought skype made .deb packages for skype
[06:01] <Shadow121> lstarnes:  Yes but its a BETA package.  Stable is gone.
[06:02] <jamieleshaw> there beta is pretty stable
[06:03] <Shadow121> But they got rid of the Stable package all together.  I dont understand why.
[06:03] <_MattB> my raid rebuild is only going at 150k/sec, at this rate it's going to take a couple months to complete, anyone have an idea of what may be wrong?
[06:04] <jamieleshaw> Shadow121, I think i know where to get them

[06:06] <lstarnes> stlsaint: once you have it, run commandname | pastebinit
[06:06] <lstarnes> stlsaint: replace commandname with the command that you want to take the output from
[06:06] <Celroc> jasonmchristos: Back. Tried running the command again and I don't think it worked...
[06:06] <edgar> hola

[06:10] <jasonmchristos> Celroc: i would suggest doing the Complete removal optild have fixed iton on all six and putting them back in, but the command should have fixed it

[06:12] <jamieleshaw> Does the Asus eee pc 1005HA-H work with ubuntu?
[06:13] <audigy6x> why yes it does
[06:13] <jamieleshaw> audigy6x, What works and what doesn't Is it a out of the box?
[06:13] <stooj> Might be a daft question: I have a USB disk formatted as ext3. When it mounts, it mounts with root ownership permissions so I can't write to the disk. Can I change this on the drive so a)I don't have to edit fstab and b)it mounts as writable on any machine (not just mine)
[06:14] <tkmr> stooj: yes
[06:14] <audigy6x> I have that same Asus pc ....Moblin works to on it
[06:14] <jamieleshaw> audigy6x, So will everything work on a fresh install of ubuntu, with no tweaking?
[06:15] <tkmr> stooj: Probably not the most efficient method, but how I do it is I open nautilus as root, navigate to /media, right click on the device, and edit my permissions.
[06:15] <audigy6x> http://www.moblinzone.com/
[06:15] <audigy6x> yes with no tweaking
[06:15] <louis__> Okay I finally managed to setup VNC Via                  DYNDNS
[06:16] <stooj> tkmr: edit them to 777?
[06:16] <audigy6x> do you have an eternal cd drive Jamie
[06:16] <stooj> tkmr: uhh, or 666
[06:16] <jamieleshaw> audigy6x, Cause i'm going to buy one and put UNR Koala on there
[06:16] <paipimenta> how do I resize /dev/sda2 that currently has an LVM on it?
[06:16] <jamieleshaw> audigy6x, no,
[06:16] <tkmr> stooj: usually I just set it so I am the owner.
[06:16] <Prohibited> back
[06:17] <tkmr> stooj: That has made it so that I can access it on my Linux systems, and on my Windows systems with EXT2FSD
[06:17] <audigy6x> I suggest you get one for it
[06:17] <stooj> tkmr: Will give that a whirl. Many thanks :)
[06:17] <audigy6x> that way you can try different ver of Linux as well
[06:17] <tkmr> stooj: no problem. Hopefully that works for you too. =)
[06:17] <screaminbeman> i m trying 2 expand my vbox & have no success.  can someone plz walk me thu it????

[06:19] <IC3> what is your vbox i mean?
[06:19] <IC3> lol
[06:19] <screaminbeman> i m using vbox for windows xp
[06:20] <stooj> tkmr: Simple as that... it worked a treat. I had assumed that would change ownership of the folder in /media, not the drive itself.
[06:20] <audigy6x> yes indeed....as long as you have Linux on it .....Windows sucks.....but hey I was using windows when they had 95 out ...man ....those where the days
[06:20] <IC3> virtual box?
[06:20] <audigy6x> Vbox Rocks
[06:20] <IC3> have u installed the guest additions?
[06:21] <screaminbeman> ic3: i have installed the guest additions
[06:21] <tkmr> stooj: glad to hear it. =)
[06:21] <screaminbeman> ic3: like i said tho, not real familiar w/ the os yet
[06:21] <bullgard4> How does GNOME call a modification (addition) of an applet symbol (for example in the form of a tilted white cross in a small red square) at the lower right?
[06:22] <IC3> ok so when you have your virtual box running should be a tab that sez machine click it
[06:22] <IC3> or push rite ctrl and g at the same time while your in your virtual box
[06:22] <audigy6x> sorry have to go be back soon Linux world
[06:23] <screaminbeman> ic3: should i have my windows xp running as well
[06:23] <IC3> so your host os is win xp?
[06:24] <xwin_> I installed Ubuntu 9.04 less than a week ago but I can't even update it.  I'm about to say bye-bye Ubuntu 9.04, cuz I'm gonna whack it and just about to install Fedora core 11.
[06:24] <screaminbeman> ic3: host os is linux & vbox is for windows xp
[06:24] <IC3> ohhhhh
[06:24] <IC3> lol
[06:24] <edbian> xwin_: You can't update it?
[06:24] <xwin_> yes
[06:24] <IC3> well it should be that same as what i said b4 enyways
[06:24] <bullgard4> xwin_: Do that and do not pollute this channel.
[06:24] <edbian> xwin_:  What are you doing that isn't working?  Do you wanna try and fix it?
[06:24] <xwin_> it says server unreachable
[06:25] <screaminbeman> ic3: should i have win xp running also
[06:25] <edbian> xwin_: System -> Admin -> Software Sources
[06:25] <xwin_> okay, kaboom Ubuntu 9.04 I'll try it again some day.... :-)
[06:25] <IC3> install guest additions and if u have done that push rite ctrl and g at the same time that should enable the resize
[06:25] <edbian> xwin_: o: alright.  Bye then!
[06:25] <IC3> if thats the vm's window your trying to resize
[06:26] <IC3> then yes
[06:26] <IC3> hope that made scence lol
[06:27] <Celroc> Thanks all for all your help... I'm gonna log out for now. Bye, and have a great evening!
[06:27] <screaminbeman> ic3: i m trying to increase vbox's storage size not screen size
[06:27] <IC3> oh the storage size lol
[06:27] <IC3> well i dont no
[06:28] <screaminbeman> does anyone know how to increase storage size of vbox?
[06:28] <IC3> well i think you can create another vhd and atach that to your virtual machine as another hdd
[06:29] <IC3> or get rid of your current vm and create the new hdd of your size and reinstall xp on that
[06:29] <dg1> is there like a force cd eject
[06:30] <screaminbeman> ic3: i tried that but windows didn't reconize the 2nd drive
[06:30] <IC3> ah ok
[06:30] <dg1> force cd eject?
[06:31] <Bluey> dg1 -- yes it's called a paper clip
[06:31] <IC3> do you no how to get into xp's partition manager?
[06:32] <screaminbeman> ic3: no
[06:32] <liquidrid> im on 9.04, clean install. i have a XFS volume using LVM on 3 new sata drives. My CPU use for smbd seems high and the system is a bit sluggish, is this normal when copying at ~40mb/s over gigabit ethernet (pci card)?
[06:32] <Bluey> not of the top of my head -- I'd try start/control panel
[06:32] <Bluey> i think it's in administrative functions of something like that
[06:33] <IC3> rite click my computer and click manage
[06:33] <dg1> sob
[06:33] <paipimenta> how do I resize /dev/sda2 that currently has an LVM on it?
[06:33] <Bluey> thanks ic3 -- I know there had to be an easier way...
[06:33] <IC3> then when that comes up click Disk Management on the left
[06:33] <dg1> ah, sudo umount -l /dev/scd0
[06:34] <harisund> Why is it that if I select "no theme" for my GDM login screen I am not allowed to auto-login myself but if I use the Ubuntu -human theme I can auto login?
[06:34] <IC3> that that shows what disks there are
[06:34] <chrissy_> hello i have a question with yahoo email
[06:34] <Gnea> chrissy_: please, just ask it
[06:34] <sim-value> /msg nickserv identify k.s.g.123
[06:34] <dg1> installing halflife 2, couldnt get the cd to open for the second disc
[06:34] <IC3> u may need to format the disk u attached to the vm thats why xp may not see it it in my computer
[06:34] <liquidrid> paipimenta http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_lvm_p2
[06:34] <Gnea> sim-value: nice password choice
[06:35] <Bluey> gnea - been there, done that!
[06:35] <paipimenta> liquidrid: promising... howtoforge is generally good stuff, I've been through a lot of sites on this, let me tell you
[06:35] <dannnn> hello
[06:35] <sim-value> LOL
[06:35] <Gnea> Bluey: you.. used the same password? ;)
[06:35] <Bobarrik> HELP!!!!!
[06:35] <Bluey> no
[06:35] <Gnea> !helpme | Bobarrik
[06:35] <switchgirl> anyone want to train me with ubuntu?
[06:35] <Bluey> but I've had my id show up in channel
[06:35] <sim-value> but rather bad.  client
[06:35] <screaminbeman> ic3: found the new drive but not sure how 2 format it
[06:35] <edbian> switchgirl: Train you?
[06:35] <Gnea> switchgirl: just install it and use it.
[06:35] <edbian> Bobarrik: What's wrong?
[06:35] <Bobarrik> wow, that hurt
[06:35] <Gnea> switchgirl: there, training done.
[06:35] <bullgard4> How does GNOME call a modification (addition) of an applet symbol (for example in the form of a tilted white cross in a small red square) at the lower right?
[06:36] <dannnn> guys i just downloaded 64bit iso of ubuntu server, it says amd64, is it ok to install on intel xeon?
[06:36] <Bobarrik> anyway
[06:36] <Gnea> !ask | Bobarrik
[06:36] <Bobarrik> why are bots yelling at me
[06:36] <chrissy_> ok i can recieve email but when i check my the ones i have sent to my home computer it does not go through
[06:36] <switchgirl> anyone want to train me with ubuntu? so i can get a job tech support and help myself out of my joblessness
[06:36] <Gnea> Bobarrik: please, follow channel guidelines to get help.
[06:36] <Bluey> switchgirl - best way - RTFM
[06:36] <IC3> should just be able to rite click it and click format
[06:37] <Gnea> switchgirl: that's not what we do here. however, if you'd like to stick around, we can help answer your questions, and perhaps you can help answer other people's questions.
[06:37] <howitzer`> How do I apt-get install a local package?
[06:37] <Gnea> howitzer`: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[06:37] <Bobarrik> I have a Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop and a wireless g WPC54G. Using the Windows Wireless Drivers Application, I was able to install what I believe are the correct drivers, but I'm still unable to make a connection to my local wireless. What am I doing wrong?
[06:37] <switchgirl> Gnea: i know just thought i'd ask....
[06:38] <Nachturnal> sure, Switchgirl. Lets start with getting a webcam to work in Ubuntu.
[06:38] <Gnea> switchgirl: if you know, why ask?
[06:38] <howitzer`> Gnea: But that doesn't resolve dependencies?
[06:38] <chrissy_> so can anybody tell what i am doing wrong
[06:38] <dg1> wine eject d:
[06:38] <Gnea> howitzer`: no, but it tells you what dependencies it needs, which you can easily search for and install
[06:38] <switchgirl> Gnea: if you dont ask you shall never know
[06:38] <edbian> dannnn: Did you ask about amd64 ?
[06:39] <Gnea> chrissy_: have no idea what your email setup consists of, so not sure what email you're referring to
[06:39] <Gnea> switchgirl: good point
[06:39] <chrissy_> i have yahoo
[06:39] <howitzer`> Gnea: Is there no way to have that done automatically somehow with apt-get or something?
[06:39] <paipimenta> liquidrid: didn't find that on page 2..... I want to resize the disk partition on which the LVM is contained
[06:40] <doug9_> Hi, I'm looking for how-to help to access my old 2.5" drive that is now in an external case and is connected via usb
[06:40] <paipimenta> I already resized the logical volumes, volume group, and physical volume, but the fdisk partition /dev/sda2 still reads at ~59G, which I need to be 25G
[06:40] <screaminbeman> ic3: thx 4 the help it's formatting now
[06:40] <Gnea> chrissy_: okay, so it's a web-based email, that anyone on any operating system can use - how is this ubuntu-related, other than you're using ubuntu as your os?
[06:40] <IC3> no probs glad to help
[06:41] <ArkoldThos> how I can know what mobo I have easily :O?
[06:41] <dg1> what do you take when your constapated
[06:41] <doug9_> If this is the wrong place to ask, can you tell me where to go?
[06:41] <IC3> well im off ppl mite be back later
[06:41] <IC3> byeeeeeeeee
[06:41] <liquidrid> Now let's enlarge media from 1GB to 1.5GB:
[06:41] <liquidrid> lvextend -L1.5G /dev/fileserver/media
[06:41] <chrissy_> i would compose a email in yahoo and send itough it said it did
[06:41] <Gnea> switchgirl: I guess it depends what your current level of knowledge of computers, in general, is, and what you already know about Ubuntu
[06:42] <liquidrid> paipimenta did you see the part about `lvextend`
[06:42] <Gnea> chrissy_: so are you trying to send/recieve via thunderbird or something?
[06:42] <edbian> doug9_: Good luck getting help with that!  This isn't a bad place unless you're using an OS other than ubuntu
[06:43] <switchgirl> i can group commands and do basic things but dont understand why the commands work or how
[06:43] <liquidrid> paipimenta this page has more details http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_lvm_p4
[06:43] <harisund> Why is it that if I select "no theme" for my GDM login screen I am not allowed to auto-login myself but if I use the Ubuntu -human theme I can auto login?
[06:43] <Gnea> switchgirl: have you ever used any other distribution other than Ubuntu?
[06:43] <chrissy_> no through yahoo i am trying to send through
[06:43] <paipimenta> lvreduce won't affect what I see when I run fdisk
[06:43] <doug9_> edbian: yes this is 9.04
[06:43] <chrissy_> i couldnt get thunderbird setup
[06:43] <switchgirl> not knowingly Gnea
[06:44] <Gran_Ger> Hi there! I have a huge problem!!!! Accidentally I start formating my hard disk ntfs as fat32
[06:44] <edbian> doug9_: Then you're in the right place.    I don't know if you can find anybody to help you :/
[06:44] <paipimenta> Partition: { /dev/sda1}   Partition: { /dev/sda2 [VG (LV)(LV)(LV) ]   e m p t y  s p a c e  }
[06:44] <Gran_Ger> I cancel almost inmediatly, but now I can't start this one
[06:44] <harisund> doug9_: what did you want again?
[06:44] <Gnea> switchgirl: I suggest installing other distros and playing around with those, get a feel for how the source code compiles and is linked through the system shared libraries
[06:45] <liquidrid> paipimenta im sorry, that's about the extent of what i know about lvm
[06:45] <edbian> Gnea: switchgirl: No offense but I think sending a complete novice into the linux world is a terrible idea.
[06:45] <doug9_> Old medium?  It's 2.5" hard drive from a laptop.  Have I been hit on the head and been asleep ?
[06:45] <edbian> switchgirl: I'd just stick with ubuntu for a while and mess with that.
[06:45] <paipimenta> found a link to this though  http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions
[06:45] <U2> switchgirl: use Slackware for a month and you'll gain a lot of Linux knowledge...
[06:45] <Gnea> edbian: why?
[06:45] <harisund> doug9_: when you plug into your machine Ubuntu doesn't automatically recognize it? You said you were using an USB converter for it?
[06:45] <switchgirl> edbian: better than starving
[06:45] <edbian> doug9_: OOO!  I thought you meant those old big floppy disks lol
[06:46] <Gnea> edbian: it's perfect. worked for me.
[06:46] <edbian> switchgirl: Good luck then! :)  As long as you're up to it.  Many people think Linux has a steep learning curve
[06:47] <edbian> doug9_: PM me the output of "sudo fdisk -l" with the drive plugged in
[06:47] <switchgirl> edbian: i really need basics so i can get into college
[06:47] <edbian> switchgirl: What college requires you know the basics of linux?  Can I attend?
[06:48] <doug9_> The laptop is using 80GB.  The one I can't see into (but was working before the mother board died) is a 120GB, now in an external case with a USB connection to the ThinkPad
[06:49] <edbian> doug9_: PM me the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[06:49] <ArkoldThos> how I can know what mobo I have easily :O?
[06:50] <doug9_> edbain:  what does fdisk -l do?
[06:50] <edbian> doug9_: Shows all of the storage media connected to your computer right now
[06:51] <U2> even those that are not mounted yet
[06:51] <Bobarrik> I have a Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop and a wireless g WPC54G. Using the Windows Wireless Drivers Application, I was able to install what I believe are the correct drivers, but I'm still unable to make a connection to my local wireless. What am I doing wrong?
[06:52] <edbian> doug9_: Are you there?
[06:53] <doug9_> I'm here.  I'm reading about what fdisk does
[06:53] <edbian> o ok
[06:53] <edbian> :)
[06:53] <edbian> doug9_: It's mostly used for partitioning but "fdisk -l" simply "lists all partitions"
[06:54] <Gnea> Bobarrik: have you checked the linux laptop page to see if a solution exists already?
[06:55] <Bobarrik> no, I have not. Can I have a link to there?

[06:56] <Hilariousity> hey guize! Is there a program that I can use in bash to merge two directories?
[06:56] <Hilariousity> recursively I mean
[06:57] <doug9_> edbain
[06:58] <Hilariousity> doug9_: is that the name of a program?
[06:58] <Enkidu> I've been trying to use a USBasp programmer with little success. When using AVRdude, it fails saying that it cannot find USB device USBasp. Using lsusb, the device is also not listed, is there something I'm missing to get it to work? I'm a complete noob, so sorry if the question is stupid.
[06:58] <doug9_> looking for edbain
[06:58] <Gran_Ger> So, Need help, How can I recover my hard disk that start formating as fat32 and is ntfs?
[06:58] <harisund> Hilariousity: what do you mean "merge two directories recursively?"
[06:58] <switchgirl> edbian http://www.stevenson.ac.uk/courses/course/hnc-computing/?fs=1
[06:58] <harisund> Why is it that if I select "no theme" for my GDM login screen I am not allowed to auto-login myself but if I use the Ubuntu -human theme I can auto login?
[06:59] <doug9_> thanks swithchgirl
[06:59] <heavybrow> hey man
[06:59] <heavybrow> i got a doubt
[07:00] <Hilariousity> harisund I mean put all the files and subdirectories of two directories and move them into one directory
[07:00] <heavybrow> how do i desinstall ubuntu and install linux?
[07:00] <Hilariousity> I can't copy and paste because some subdirectories within the two directories have the same name
[07:00] <harisund> Hilariousity: can't you just use a bunch of mv commands?
[07:00] <guoxiaolong> 你们能说中文吗
[07:01] <DigitalKiwi> Hilariousity: do you want every file in one directory ?
[07:01] <Hilariousity> yes sur
[07:01] <DigitalKiwi> one sec
[07:01] <guoxiaolong> fuck you
[07:01] <Hilariousity> !DigitalKiwi
[07:02] <DigitalKiwi> find $source -type f -exec cp \{\} $dest/ \;
[07:02] <lstarnes> heavybrow: ubuntu is a variant of linux
[07:02] <guoxiaolong> how can i use linux meke kernel more new
[07:03] <guoxiaolong> I am listeing
[07:03] <Hilariousity> wow the find command has alot more functions then I ever thought
[07:04] <GreyGhost> heavybrow, linux is the kernel .. ubuntu is a distro based on it .. more like based on debian which is based on linux anyway ..
[07:04] <guoxiaolong> where are you come from?
[07:04] <Bobarrik> None of the pages given about laptops helped with my wireless problem... they all were about compatability and from what I have read, Jaunty works quite well with an Inspiron 1100. Can I have help with making my wireless work?
[07:04] <doug9_> how to get into a hard drive that is jumpered as slave and is as an external usb?
[07:05] <guoxiaolong> so you can pull the hard drive
[07:05] <heavybrow> GreyGhost: humm
[07:05] <heavybrow> GreyGhost: and how do i install distro ubuntu on the windows xp kernel?
[07:05] <lstarnes> heavybrow: ubuntu can only use the linux kernel
[07:06] <GreyGhost> heavybrow, err .. whtat do u mean by "on" ?
[07:06] <lstarnes> heavybrow: and the windows xp kernel only works with xp
[07:06] <DigitalKiwi> giggle
[07:06] <DigitalKiwi> that has to be the best question ever
[07:06] <heavybrow> lstarnes GreyGhost it's bad
[07:07] <heavybrow> lstarnes GreyGhost and how do i install xp distro on linux kernel?
[07:07] <guoxiaolong> oh no
[07:07] <lstarnes> heavybrow: windows xp is not a distribution
[07:07] <lstarnes> heavybrow: it is a full OS
[07:07] <lstarnes> heavybrow: the term "distrubution" only applies to different variants of linux
[07:07] <guoxiaolong> yes you are right that's full os
[07:07] <GreyGhost> heavybrow, wt exactly are ur intentions of doing somethng like that? u can use XP in a vm in ubuntu (check virtualbox qemu vmwae) .. and vice versa
[07:08] <heavybrow> lstarnes: is there a way to install ubuntu on freebsd kernel?
[07:08] <Nachturnal> trolling...
[07:08] <lstarnes> heavybrow: no
[07:08] <heavybrow> GreyGhost:  i wanna try to use linux
[07:08] <GreyGhost> heavybrow, err.. if u mean the GUI by saying "install ubuntu" .. i think u can get GNOME for FreeBSD
[07:08] <lstarnes> heavybrow: it only works on the linux kernel
[07:08] <DigitalKiwi> actually...
[07:08] <heavybrow> GreyGhost:  but i know xp is better than that
[07:08] <GreyGhost> heavybrow, then start using ubuntu .. it IS linux ..
[07:08] <banisterfiend> hey guys, i just apt-get zsh, how do i make zsh my default shell now? so that everytime i login it uses it instead of bash?
[07:09] <lstarnes> GreyGhost: most applications that work on linux work on other unix-like operating systems
[07:09] <DigitalKiwi> you could theoretically take the freebsd kernel and substituted an ubuntu like userland for it
[07:09] <GreyGhost> lstarnes, i knw :)
[07:09] <DigitalKiwi> there is an arch linux project to do that for arch/freebsd
[07:09] <heavybrow> GreyGhost: is ubuntu better than xp?
[07:09] <Nachturnal> I'm pretty sure Heavybrow is just trolling you guys.
[07:09] <lstarnes> banisterfiend: try chsh -s $(which zsh)
[07:09] <paipimenta> alright, let's try this with a non-LVM partition.... I want to resize /dev/sda1 from 194M to 50M
[07:09] <heavybrow> Nachturnal: ??
[07:09] <DigitalKiwi> err netbsd, sorry
[07:09] <guoxiaolong> xp is xp linux is linux that they are different concepts, ideas, do you understand?
[07:09] <GreyGhost> heavybrow, depends on what u do .. n wt u find "better"

[07:10] <banisterfiend> DigitalKiwi: do i need to sudo that?
[07:10] <kiran_> i am not able to hear sound from my laptop speakers
[07:10] <DigitalKiwi> probably
[07:10] <allanmelsen> Anyone here who ever toyed with openqrm?
[07:10] <kiran_> anyone
[07:10] <GreyGhost> heavybrow, u can play that in WINE under linux i think .. bt mind u linux is not gaming centered OS ..
[07:10] <heavybrow> GreyGhost:  then, linux is bad
[07:11] <DigitalKiwi> :/
[07:11] <sanchiro> I have a dvd that my wife wants me to copy.. it's a few short videos.. she uses for training.. the disc reads JUST FINE in her MacBook, but in my linux box, the disc appears EMPTY.. why?
[07:11] <allanmelsen> lol heavybrow
[07:11] <lstarnes> heavybrow: that's just your opinion
[07:11] <banisterfiend> lstarnes, DigitalKiwi: thx
[07:11] <DigitalKiwi> there are tons of games for linux, and a ton of games work in wine
[07:11] <flippo> I hear XBox is popular for PowerPoint
[07:11] <heavybrow> hummm
[07:11] <heavybrow> thanks, men
[07:11] <DigitalKiwi> flippo: giggle
[07:11] <heavybrow> bye
[07:11] <sanchiro> GreyGhost, but isn't gaming improving on linux?
[07:11] <allanmelsen> heavybrow: Windows isn't a gaming centered OS either.. it just happen to be there DirectX is and which developers mainly make games for.
[07:11] <GreyGhost> heavybrow, err saying that infront of 1279 ppl in a linux channel proves that u should stick to xp and NOT say linux is bad
[07:11] <banisterfiend> DigitalKiwi, lstarnes: it didn't work though :( when i exited and created a new shell, it went back to using bash :(
[07:12] <stlsaint> sanchiro, is the dvd encrypted
[07:12] <DigitalKiwi> did you login and out?
[07:12] <johnni> Question I have is went back to Alsa in Ubuntu Jaunty and my microphone is really low, but I have capture, microphone boost..and microphone all turned up full blast yet it sounds like i am whispering into the microphone..any ideas?
[07:12] <allanmelsen> Besides.. I've run both WoW and EVE with higher FPS under Linux than it did in Windows, or the exact same machine.
[07:12] <banisterfiend> DigitalKiwi: i closed the terminal and then loaded a new terminal
[07:12] <DigitalKiwi> err logout and back in
[07:12] <GreyGhost> sanchiro, it is improving .. if the commercial game devs created native apps for linux and stuck to OpenGL it wld be on par to windows
[07:12] <Nachturnal> Seriously, you guys are being trolled. Heavybrow is playing you, and probably getting great enjoyment from it.
[07:12] <sanchiro> stlsaint, I don't think it is.. it's not a commercially produced dvd.. just one personally recorded..
[07:12] <lstarnes> banisterfiend: log out then log in again
[07:12] <allanmelsen> OpenGL unfortunately lacks quite a bit to match DirectX 10/11 :(
[07:12] <guoxiaolong> wine is the interface between linux and windows xp
[07:13] <banisterfiend> lstarnes: ok ill try, thanks
[07:13] <Prohibited> emulator *\
[07:13] <lstarnes> guoxiaolong: it doesn't interface with windows at all
[07:13] <stlsaint> sanchiro, what distro you using?
[07:13] <sanchiro> GreyGhost, Are you familiar with www.supergamer.org? I just downloaded their big .iso file.. which supposedly has all natively coded linux games..
[07:13] <sanchiro> stlsaint, ubuntu 9.04
[07:13] <guoxiaolong> Pipeline
[07:13] <lstarnes> guoxiaolong: it implements windows interfaces for windows applications running on linux
[07:13] <allanmelsen> I think whats needed to be able to compete with Windows is a whole new replacement for DirectX and OpenGL and so on.. something that enables simulatanious compatibility on both Windows, Linux and Mac, without making the development process much harder
[07:13] <GreyGhost> sanchiro, nope .. i dnt rly lay too many games ..
[07:13] <heavybrow> i got problems with apache on my windows xp
[07:14] <stlsaint> do you have mediubuntu enabled
[07:14] <stlsaint> sanchiro, ^^
[07:14] <heavybrow> buguntu
[07:14] <sebsebseb> !wine |  guoxiaolong
[07:14] <guoxiaolong> yes i know
[07:14] <idleone> !windows | heavybrow
[07:15] <sanchiro> stlsaint, what is mediubuntu?
[07:15] <DigitalKiwi> allanmelsen: isn'g opengl pretty well cross platform compliant?
[07:15] <allanmelsen> !cedega
[07:15] <guoxiaolong> but i think Not all can find in the linux into a simulated
[07:15] <stlsaint> !medibuntu > sanchiro
[07:15] <Bruc> hey all
[07:16] <areay> why are chinese ip's bruteforcing my ssh port?
[07:16] <allanmelsen> DigitalKiwi: Yes.. but the problem still is that it doesn't match DirectX in regards of features/functionality + as far as I know.. Microsoft have fairly heavy SDK support for game development companies
[07:16] <guoxiaolong> your private message is dust
[07:16] <DigitalKiwi> areay: are you on default port 22?
[07:17] <areay> DigitalKiwi, yea
[07:17] <allanmelsen> DigitalKiwi: So basically.. if it requires less to make a game in DirectX that provides better functionality/features for the developers... then they stick to DirectX... why use OpenGL if it complicates the development process and also doesn't make it as good a product.
[07:17] <banisterfiend> :) thanks guys
[07:17] <eepberries> I'm trying to change the resolution of my ubuntu computer because it is hooked up to a monitor with a lower max resolution than what it's currently set to. I know how to access the command line (ctl+alt+f2) and i've tried using xrandr, but it says "can't open the display". what should i do?
[07:17] <banisterfiend> one more q, how do i change the name of my system?
[07:17] <DigitalKiwi> do a few things...not really a problem on ubuntu but don't allow root login if you use something other than that ever, change port, set up something like denyhosts
[07:17] <lstarnes> !hostname | banisterfiend
[07:18] <areay> DigitalKiwi, can't i get them back in some way... i feel violated
[07:18] <eepberries> you can use sudo su i think
[07:18] <eepberries> sort of similar
[07:18] <lstarnes> eepberries: sudo -i, not sudo su
[07:18] <allanmelsen> '~@‘π±≠][¡“§£∞¶[]≠≠±~‘ö@–·‚µµµµ≤≤≤/=*-
[07:18] <allanmelsen> Oops
[07:18] <eepberries> o
[07:18] <allanmelsen> wrong window
[07:18] <FloodBot3> allanmelsen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:19] <allanmelsen> was looking for the pipe key on my mac keyboard.. can't find it.. heh
[07:19] <DigitalKiwi> can't really think of anything you could do to them
[07:19] <eepberries> so do any of you know how to fix my resolution problem?
[07:19] <allanmelsen> !openqrm
[07:19] <allanmelsen> darn
[07:19] <sanchiro> stlsaint, so installing mediubuntu will allow , or may allow me to read that disc?
[07:19] <allanmelsen> Anyone here who have experimented/used OpenQRM on Ubuntu?
[07:20] <Slart> eepberries: when you're using the tty (Alt+F1 etc) you have to specify for x programs which display you want to work with
[07:20] <guoxiaolong> On one occasion, I did not compile successfully compile time, suggesting a lack of GCC
[07:20] <lstarnes> guoxiaolong: make sure that you had build-essential
[07:20] <stlsaint> sanchiro, yes...see here for help.... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[07:20] <areay> DigitalKiwi, it's probably windows malware of some kind anyway... i doubt a random chinese person decided to randomly type my ip address in, and i don't have any enemies in china (that i know of)
[07:20] <eepberries> i tried using "xrandr --screen 0" but that didn't work. it still said it couldn't find the screen
[07:20] <DigitalKiwi> it's pretty common, areay
[07:21] <Slart> eepberries: so if you just run, for example, gedit it will fail to start because it doesn't know where to run.. you'll have to do something like "DISPLAY=.0.0 gedit" that will tell gedit to use the display numbered .0.0 (which should be the default display
[07:21] <DigitalKiwi> I had that problem a while ago, changing port stopped most of them since they usually don't bother port scanning, I also setup denyhosts which is nice
[07:21] <Slart> eepberries: sorry.. it's "DISPLAY=:0.0 gedit" ...  semicolon instead of a dot
[07:22] <eepberries> slart: it says "Can't open display :0.0". i had tried that before
[07:22] <areay> damn chinese...
[07:22] <Elone> question~ any fsck for ntfs ? i got boot msg saying fsck.ntsf not found ~ how to fix that?
[07:22] <eepberries> actually, it says "Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE~1 keyCan't open display :0.0" specifically
[07:23] <Slart> areay: can you vent this anger of an entire (pretty large) country in the ot-channel instead? it's not really appropriate there either but it's better than doing it here
[07:23] <Slart> Elone: nope.. there is ntfsfix but that's not really a fsck
[07:24] <eepberries> those blasted israelites
[07:24] <Bluey> woo hoo  just talked sparkie (australia) through a ubuntu install - success!
[07:24] <areay> lol
[07:24] <Slart> eepberries: hmm.. then I don't really know what is wrong, sorry
[07:24] <eepberries> :(
[07:24] <DigitalKiwi> you put the disk in, it installs, this needs walkthrough why?
[07:25] <eepberries> is there anyway to have the x serv or whatever revert to a safe mode
[07:25] <eepberries> so i can fix it somehow
[07:25] <areay> sorry Slart, and any other chinese people that were offended by my comments
[07:25] <areay> ;)
[07:25] <banisterfiend> hey cuties, the 'time' displayed in my zsh is wrong, how do i fix it?
[07:25] <eepberries> i just need to get ubuntu working in a lower resolution. i can work my way up from there
[07:26] <DigitalKiwi> banisterfiend: how do you mean it is wrong?
[07:26] <banisterfiend> DigitalKiwi: it's saying that it's 2:24pm but it's 7:24pm (where i live)
[07:26] <banisterfiend> DigitalKiwi: my desktop clock is correct, but the zsh one is wrong
[07:27] <DigitalKiwi> oh, probably some timezone setting in your .zshrc?
[07:27] <banisterfiend> DigitalKiwi: ok thx bb
[07:27] <eepberries> so is there any sort of xserver low res safe mode i can run?
[07:27] <guoxiaolong> I often use linux to visit pornographic sites, but is not toxic
[07:27] <dg1> im doing a multy disc install of halflife and i cant get the first disc unmounted even though its out of my cd drive!
[07:28] <banisterfiend> DigitalKiwi: so zsh doesn't have the multi-tude of config files like bash does? it just has .zshrc it doesnt' have .zsh_profile etc?
[07:28] <eepberries> yeah i'm pretty fond of the man on man sites
[07:28] <idleone> !ot > guoxiaolong
[07:28] <benjamin31> yo
[07:28] <benjamin31> perrrrrrsone ?
[07:28] <benjamin31> nul
[07:28] <idleone> !fr | benjamin31
[07:29] <Ipsilon> Hey guys, I'm not a Linux user. But I wanted to know some info on the advantages of using linux. Not for the sake of argument.. but for my information to make certain choices
[07:29] <Ipsilon> Beyond the fact that it's free of course
[07:29] <idleone> Ipsilon: /join #ubuntu-offtopic . better place to ask
[07:29] <DigitalKiwi> it probably has a .zshrc and a .zhistory or something (depends on your config file iirc)
[07:29] <Ipsilon> k thanx
[07:29] <banisterfiend> Ipsilon: it's a nicer environement for a programmer, all the tools are free, they're high quality, and they're very easy to setup and use (with apt-get etc)
[07:30] <eepberries> some things are very, very easy to do on linux if there is a premade package for what you're looking for
[07:30] <eepberries> other things in linux make it a somewhat horrific experience
[07:30] <eepberries> it's extremely hit or miss
[07:30] <Ipsilon> I was mostly wondering about advantages in terms of media playing and more user-oriented stuff
[07:30] <Ipsilon> i'm not a programmer :P
[07:30] <eepberries> that isn't really the point of linux, sorry
[07:30] <eepberries> the "year of linux on the desktop" will probably never come
[07:31] <mgmuscari> hey room
[07:31] <Guest65016> anyone know why software available in the alternate installer compared to the normal DVD install disc would be reduced?
[07:31] <banisterfiend> Ipsilon: maybe if you use linux you'd become a programmer!!!!!!! :P
[07:31] <Guest65016> i.e. all repositories seem there, added mediabuntu
[07:31] <Ipsilon> maybe :/
[07:31] <banisterfiend> Ipsilon: if you do become a programmer, choose ruby, python's overrated ;)
[07:31] <Guest65016> but can't find apps such as vlc in synaptic, just turns up blank although other more basic stuff is there
[07:31] <avishek> Ipsilon: I agree, Linux can be difficult for new users, but even non-programmers find it useful
[07:31] <eepberries> Guest58270: make sure you're typing the right package name
[07:31] <mgmuscari> banisterfiend: sed s/programmer/web\ developer FTFY
[07:32] <eepberries> sometimes you'll have to google for the actual name (it's probably something like vlc-player or vlc56.29.3397u459;.l2u35roiyh)
[07:32] <eepberries> who in the hell knows
[07:32] <avishek> Ipsilon: At office, I'm the only programmer, but everyone else who uses Ubuntu loves it
[07:32] <DigitalKiwi> the one other person is everyone else ;)
[07:32] <mgmuscari> does anybody here know how to tell my X server which volume controller to bind my volume keys to?
[07:32] <Ipsilon> yeah, but my query would be mostly oriented towards whether or not have a dual-boot thing going
[07:33] <guoxiaolong> I does not go into hell, who is hell
[07:33] <mgmuscari> i can't get it to control pulseaudio master for the life of me...
[07:33] <banisterfiend> mgmuscari: ruby is for more than just web dev :) though unfortunately the web kiddies have slightly polluted ppl's opinion of ruby
[07:33] <stlsaint> sanchiro, any success?
[07:33] <Guest65016> how do you get all available software showing in synaptic?
[07:33] <DigitalKiwi> yuck ruby
[07:33] <avishek> Ipsilon: keep the dual boot. most machines at my workplace have only about 30GB harddisk space. I've made a small Windows partition (5GB) and the rest for Ubuntu
[07:33] <mgmuscari> java is pretty much as high-level as i go when it comes to programming languages
[07:33] <Guest65016> my software sources has all the repositories ticked
[07:34] <eepberries> Guest58270: are you trying to add programs through the GUI or command line
[07:34] <banisterfiend> DigitalKiwi: exactly :) you wouldn't say 'yuck ruby' if it wasn't for hipster ruby fanboys sitting in starbucks writing their web apps on mac book pros :/
[07:34] <Ipsilon> I don't have ubuntu. The decision was wether or not to create a linux partition.
[07:34] <guoxiaolong> command line
[07:34] <eepberries> i find that the gui seems to be missing alot of things for some reason. that or they're impossible to find
[07:34] <mgmuscari> although, i'll concede that i haven't looked very hard at ruby. its reputation precedes it though
[07:34] <mgmuscari> i find it hard to believe that i'd find ruby suitable for research purposes
[07:35] <eepberries> Guest58270: what package are you looking for specifically
[07:35] <avishek> My advice Ipsilon, try it out. If you give yourself time with Linux, I think you'll begin to enjoy it. And if you're new to Linux, start with Ubuntu - it's one of the easiest distros to use
[07:35] <guoxiaolong> ruby is dust
[07:35] <banisterfiend> mgmuscari: you probably wouldn't. it's not for that kind of application
[07:35] <DigitalKiwi> banisterfiend: it's slow, bloated, I don't like it's syntax, the fanboys are only part of it
[07:35] <banisterfiend> guoxiaolong: haha why's that?
[07:35]  * mgmuscari is thinking about writing a perl script to do nightly incremental backups of /home and various config files after this past week's filesystem meltdown. who votes yes?
[07:35] <Guest65016> hmmm I can install software at the command line e.g. install vlc but it doesn't show in Synaptic
[07:36] <eepberries> Guest58270: that's just kind of the way it is, i think
[07:36] <guoxiaolong> yes you are ok
[07:36] <eepberries> the GUI synaptic is dumb
[07:36] <mgmuscari> i should add that i'm referring to my own personal filesystem meltdown
[07:36] <Ipsilon> Is the CD boot really going to show me the OS.. or should I keep my opinion until I have it in a harddrive?
[07:36] <eepberries> i don't even look at the package manager gui anymore because i've never actually found what i was looking for in it
[07:36] <mgmuscari> Ipsilon: it will probably run slower from cd
[07:36] <Guest65016> so how else do you search for software if you don't know the name
[07:36] <eepberries> google :)
[07:36] <guoxiaolong> i can make filesystem in it
[07:36] <DigitalKiwi> banisterfiend: I don't like python either if that's any consolation
[07:36] <avishek> Ipsilon, yes it does. A Live Demo works very well if you have at least 512 MB RAM.
[07:36] <banisterfiend> DigitalKiwi: (1) 1.9.1 is not slow (it's comparable to python in benchmarks). (2) The syntax some people like, other people do not. personally i prefer it to python's syntax that i find littered with underscores and 'self'.
[07:36] <eepberries> actually you can search the ubuntu man pages i think
[07:36] <p1ckLe> Ipsilon: I just ran it from the cd, and it does show the whole OS.. but it doesnt save any of ur options obviously, and just runs a tid slower from CD
[07:37] <eepberries> the ubuntu page should list all available packages
[07:37] <eepberries> somewhere anyway
[07:37] <banisterfiend> DigitalKiwi: so which language do you use?
[07:37] <guoxiaolong> Affair is not never asked Baidu, foreign affairs is not never ask Google
[07:37] <DigitalKiwi> Lua/C/C++
[07:37] <mgmuscari> avishek: Ipsilon will probably find that running certain commands for the first time on a live demo will cause the cd drive to spin up as it loads it into mem
[07:37] <DigitalKiwi> mostly Lua
[07:37] <mgmuscari> c/c++/java/perl here
[07:38] <avishek> Ipsilon, take mgmuscari's advice
[07:38] <sanchiro> stlsaint, thanks a bunch.. that's what I needed...;)
[07:38] <mgmuscari> but once they're in ram, things should work normally :)
[07:38] <sanchiro> stlsaint, this is why I LOVE linux.. ;)
[07:38] <banisterfiend> DigitalKiwi: lua is nice and clean, but a bit *too* simple imo. I like the functional programming and sophisticated OO of ruby. It's a very expressive language. But it's true, if i were to choose a language for embedding in a c++/c app, i'd probably choose Lua
[07:38] <guoxiaolong> who can use chinese lugguess
[07:38] <andry> help!! FB application chat rooms Audio&video Ubuntu remix aspireone ZG5 !!! Dont work !!!
[07:38] <avishek> Ipsilon, but I would say try out a Wubi install - install Ubuntu into Windows just like any application. what do you think mgmuscari?
[07:38] <banisterfiend> mgmuscari: c/c++/ruby/clojure here
[07:38] <eepberries> is there any way to see if xserver is working at all without having logged in graphically? i'm just trying to figure out if anything graphical is working.
[07:38] <mgmuscari> Ipsilon: you also won't be able to install all kinds of neato packages using a live cd
[07:38] <guoxiaolong> which come from china
[07:39] <guoxiaolong> except me
[07:39] <eepberries> the problem is that my ubuntu computer is only hooked up to a tv via s-video, and i'm wondering if ubuntu is recognizing that at all and thinks there aren't any graphical displays
[07:39] <stlsaint> sanchiro, np..glad to be of help
[07:39] <Ipsilon> Well, first I need to check out the core OS.
[07:39] <Slart> !cn | guoxiaolong
[07:39] <mgmuscari> avishek: if Ipsilon is running a newish machine that has hardware support for virtualization, it should run pretty quickly
[07:39] <kiran_> how to know my ip address in terminal
[07:39] <Slart> kiran_: ifconfig
[07:39] <kiran_> please
[07:39] <lstarnes> kiran_: ifconfig
[07:39] <Ipsilon> my machine is fine
[07:39] <eepberries> kiran_: local ip address or external?
[07:39] <mgmuscari> eepberries: if you want to configure displays manually, you need to go into /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:40] <guoxiaolong> ok i know but i know English
[07:40] <kiran_> external
[07:40] <banisterfiend> mgmuscari: umm...the arguments you were using against ruby possibly apply even stronger against perl. Ruby has alot of perl's spirit, but with a nicer syntax. alot of ex-perlers really like ruby
[07:40] <mgmuscari> Ipsilon: running it in a virtual machine would be a good way to try it out
[07:40] <auk> i've been searching around online but can't find a clear explanation of the difference between the proposed and the backports repositories
[07:40] <Ipsilon> q6600, 8800gt, 4gb ram, 7200rpm harddrive
[07:40] <eepberries> mgmuscari: i'm looked in there but i don't see anything relating to monitors or displays. it's actually strange
[07:40] <Ipsilon> vmware?
[07:40] <avishek> mgmuscari: true, but since most of my machines are antiquated rustbuckets with less than 256 MB RAM, I get into the habit of downsizing
[07:40] <avishek> :)
[07:40] <mgmuscari> banisterfiend: i only use perl for trivial scripting, but yeah, i mostly just haven't looked at ruby
[07:40] <auk> is one generall better tested, more stable; is one generally more recent versions?
[07:40] <kiran_> how to get information about my network in terminal
[07:40] <guoxiaolong> i just look for some one that as me
[07:40] <mgmuscari> banisterfiend: i think my conception of ruby is based on pages about ruby on rails that stumbleupon always throws up at me
[07:41] <andry> Help facebook application Chat rooms Mix&webcam dont work aspireone ZG5 !!!
[07:41] <eepberries> meh i prefer cobol on rails
[07:41] <avishek> Ipsilon, a Live Session looks very plain and dull, so don't get the incorrect impression.
[07:41] <paipimenta> what's a superblock?
[07:41] <lstarnes> paipimenta: it's like a master file table or MFT
[07:41] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: uh oh, filesystem trouble?
[07:41] <banisterfiend> mgmuscari: here's just a taste, this is how you iterate over a list over numbers 0..10 in ruby: (0..10).each { |v| puts v } (outputs numbers 0 through 10)
[07:41] <Bluey> if detected early, cobol can be cured.  give to the american cobol society.
[07:41] <Ipsilon> so should I go for wubi?
[07:41] <avishek> You can "dress" up ubuntu very nicely by installing the relevant packages
[07:42] <avishek> Ipsilon, yes, I think so
[07:42] <mgmuscari> the superblock stores metadata about the partition
[07:42] <banisterfiend> mgmuscari: it has an incredibly light-weight lambda syntax that is used almost everywhere for really really concise code
[07:42] <banisterfiend> (anyway bbl)
[07:42] <paipimenta> no.... trying to resize a partition that an LVM is on
[07:42] <mgmuscari> banisterfiend: i might be persuaded to look at it some time... for now i'll stick to jsp when i do webapps
[07:42] <paipimenta> I've given up, I'm using http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions
[07:42] <avishek> Ipsilon: it'll run slightly slower, but not noticeably so if you have about 512 MB RAM
[07:42] <mgmuscari> and c++ or java when i do anything else, basically
[07:42] <Ipsilon> 4gb
[07:43] <guoxiaolong> Who watched the National Day parade
[07:43] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: i resized an ext4 partition the other day, which was an extended partition
[07:43] <paipimenta> i tried e2fsck /dev/sda2 from BusyBox, and it gave me a resource busy error
[07:43] <kiran_> pleese
[07:43] <eepberries> better question: who watched the moon last night?
[07:43] <avishek> No worries then Ipsilon. I run on 256 MB RAM
[07:43] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: i think it totally blew away everything else on the logical partition that it was a part of...
[07:43] <kramer3d> does document viewer allow multiple instances of same file?
[07:43] <Ipsilon> does installation size mean the size it will have to install other stuff into it?
[07:43] <kramer3d> if so, how?
[07:43] <eepberries> why would you use a logical partition anyway
[07:44] <paipimenta> tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sda2 gave error about a superblock not being found
[07:44] <avishek> kiran_ ask your question
[07:44] <DigitalKiwi> eepberries: because you can only have 4 primary partitions
[07:44] <paipimenta> so I haven't done anything
[07:44] <kramer3d> never mind! just found out
[07:44] <kramer3d> :)
[07:44] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: i ended up running through fsck for about 2 days fixing things... then i had to back up the data that i could recover, blast away all my linux partitions, and start from scratch. so, be careful
[07:44] <guoxiaolong> >	Who watched the National Day parade
[07:44] <lstarnes> paipimenta: /dev/sda2 might not use ext2/ext3
[07:44] <paipimenta> yeah, it's Linux LVM2
[07:44] <avishek> Sorry Ipsilon, I don't quite follow what you mean? could you please reframe your question?
[07:44] <DigitalKiwi> guoxiaolong: that is majorly offtopic for this channel
[07:44] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: yeah never run fsck or anything like it on a mounted partition, asking for trouble
[07:44] <paipimenta> not mounted??
[07:45] <paipimenta> i said Busy Box, booted from media
[07:45] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: sure it didn't automount it or something?
[07:45] <paipimenta> umount /dev/sda2 gave me an error
[07:45] <Ipsilon> In the installer it says "installation size".. and you can choose from a couple gb to a lot more.. I don't unserstand what the difference between 3gb and 17gb would be
[07:45] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: what error
[07:46] <guoxiaolong> DigitalKiwi：so what
[07:46] <paipimenta> umount /dev/sda2
[07:46] <mgmuscari> Ipsilon: that's how much space you'd leave available for storing files. you're basically picking the size of its partition
[07:46] <DigitalKiwi> so find a different channel to ask it in, guoxiaolong
[07:46] <paipimenta> cannot umount /dev/sda2: Invalid argument
[07:46] <DigitalKiwi> and stop trolling
[07:46] <Ipsilon> that's what i thought
[07:46] <Ipsilon> thnx
[07:46] <mgmuscari> wtf
[07:46] <guoxiaolong> oh no no
[07:46] <avishek> Ipsilon, it refers to the amount of hard size that will be allocated for Ubuntu
[07:46] <guoxiaolong> i like here
[07:46] <Bluey> nite gang - see you tomorrow....
[07:46] <paipimenta> nite
[07:46] <Ipsilon> well 50 min to finish :/ so I guess it's waiting time :P
[07:47] <ooypp> hi guoxiaolong
[07:47] <guoxiaolong> hi
[07:47] <avishek> Ipsilon: enjoy yourself!
[07:47] <Ipsilon> :P thnx for the responses
[07:47] <avishek> Ipsilon: welcome
[07:47] <ooypp> you're  chinese
[07:48] <guoxiaolong> yes i am
[07:48] <paipimenta> if I have LVM, can't I use the whole disk space with it? then my /boot and swap could just be on logical volumes?
[07:48] <eepberries> kiran_ wants to know how to find his/her external ip address via command line. how would you do this, short of going to a site like whatismyip.com in a terminal web browser?
[07:48] <paipimenta> swap is already lvswap
[07:48] <guoxiaolong> and where are you in
[07:48] <ooypp> 222
[07:48] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: i have all of my linux partitions on extended volumes
[07:48] <mgmuscari> !pastebin
[07:48] <guoxiaolong> what is 222
[07:49] <ooypp> in #ubuntu-cn i saw you
[07:49] <paipimenta> well but I want to install windows server 2003 on a partition
[07:49] <kiran_> terminal web browser ?
[07:49] <banisterfiend> guoxiaolong: ching chong china man tried to milk a cow
[07:49] <paipimenta> or a logical volume?
[07:49] <jrivera> hello, i have a running server with 80GB used as harddrive containing samba file server,, i want to upgrade the drive to a 500GB or higher drive how do i do it?
[07:49] <eepberries> yes. a non-graphical web browser
[07:49] <paipimenta> I still need to get the .iso from this MacBook hard drive to my desktop somehow
[07:49] <eepberries> obviously that would work, but is there anything simpler?
[07:49] <Slart> !ot | guoxiaolong,ooypp
[07:49] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: http://paste.ubuntu.com/285201/
[07:49] <rsk> jrivera: buy the drive, insert the drive, format the drive, mount it, and done.
[07:49] <Slart> !coc | banisterfiend
[07:49] <paipimenta> otherwise I might have already tried making lvwindows already
[07:49] <mgmuscari> 5-10 are all logical volumes
[07:49] <DigitalKiwi> http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/04/07/how-to-find-your-public-ip-address-with-the-linux-command-line/ eepberries
[07:49] <guoxiaolong> oh no
[07:50] <jrivera> rsk: how do i just extend the volume to the new drive?
[07:50] <guoxiaolong> I do not go out, killing not out
[07:50] <rsk> jrivera: use LVM for that
[07:50] <brnbock> does anyone know how to find the statys of a routers NAT from command line?
[07:50] <jrivera> rsk: ok, do i have to power down the server for that?
[07:51] <brnbock> status of a NAT from command line
[07:51] <rsk> jrivera: if you have to power down the server to plug in a hard-drive? Yes.
[07:51] <Madpilot> banisterfiend, racism has absolutely no place here. None.
[07:51] <DigitalKiwi> aren't SATA hot pluggable?
[07:51] <guoxiaolong> I do not go out, killing not out
[07:51] <Slart> guoxiaolong: then stay on topic.. or use #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat
[07:51] <andry> help facebook apllic chatrooms mix&webcam dont work ubuntu remix aspireone zg5
[07:51] <rsk> DigitalKiwi: in theory =)
[07:51] <eepberries> DigitalKiwi: they're supposed to be, yes
[07:51] <guoxiaolong> I do not go out, killing not out
[07:51] <Madpilot> guoxiaolong, if you just want to chat, please join #ubuntu-offtopic - thanks
[07:52] <eepberries> don't go touching your motherboard though
[07:52] <mgmuscari> andry: install java
[07:52] <naruto> gf
[07:52] <andry> i haved
[07:52] <banisterfiend> Madpilot: it's not racist, it's just a kid's nursery rhyme :D
[07:52] <Slart> andry: does the webcam work in anything else? try "cheese"
[07:52] <Madpilot> banisterfiend, it's a racist kid's nursery rhyme. With no place here.
[07:52] <andry> yes all work mix @web cam
[07:52] <mgmuscari> andry: get rid of openjdk and install sun java. also, it's not likely that most webcam apps will work under linux...
[07:52] <Ali_nz11> anyone here ever installed archlinux?
[07:53] <rsk> Ali_nz11: #archlinux
[07:53] <Guest15806> uuuu
[07:53] <banisterfiend> Madpilot: ok ok
[07:53] <Guest15806> ii
[07:53] <Guest15806> yiyi
[07:53] <DigitalKiwi> Ali_nz11: yes,
[07:53] <Ali_nz11> rsk: been there - nobody talking
[07:53] <paipimenta> well, I think I've given up the not-backup-and-reinstall attempt, time to backup and start over... I've got a 60G hard drive... how should I get an Ubuntu server and Windows Server 2003 on my desktop with dual-boot starting from scratch?
[07:53] <DigitalKiwi> well ask a question there Ali_nz11
[07:54] <Ali_nz11> rsk: I have asked - nobody reply
[07:54] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: install windows first
[07:54] <andry> i have sun java but open open jdk dont iwill try install open jdk  txs guy :)
[07:54] <Ali_nz11> i want to know what to select when I boot off the cd to install
[07:54] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: then install ubuntu and point grub to the windows partition
[07:54] <paipimenta> Ali_nz11: DigitalKiwi said yes
[07:54] <Slart> Ali_nz11: just because the archlinux channel is sleeping doesn't make it ok to start asking about it in here
[07:54] <DigitalKiwi> Ali_nz11: you have to register/identify to talk there
[07:54] <mgmuscari> andry: don't install openjdk, it sucks
[07:54] <andry> why?
[07:55] <Guest15806> ]ytyty
[07:55] <kiran_> what is portscan
[07:55] <Madpilot> Guest15806, please stop
[07:55] <Guest15806> ththty
[07:55] <paipimenta> if I've got a flash drive with WindowsServer2003.iso on it, can't I write that image to a formatted disk dive for it to boot and install?
[07:55] <rsk> !ops | Guest15806
[07:55] <mgmuscari> andry: it's not as well implemented as sun java. nobody ever uses openjdk in production environments, afaik
[07:55] <paipimenta> drive
[07:55] <guoxiaolong> 一般来说，在IDE或较新型的SCSI硬盘上装Linux是不会遇到什么困难的，但在较旧的SCSI硬盘上装较新版Linux的话就可能会出现找不到硬盘的问题。
[07:56] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: you need a bootloader to load that iso if you're not going to put it on a cd
[07:56] <paipimenta> do tell.....
[07:56] <paipimenta> GRUB?
[07:56] <x140l1n> guoxiaolong: ..he
[07:56] <Madpilot> andry, the various Free/Open versions of Java are far less usable than the official SunJava. Best to stick with Sun Java, even though it's non-Free.
[07:56] <paipimenta> couldn't I set up the bootloader and the partitions, then copy the file in Knoppix?
[07:56] <jamieleshaw> madpilot, Are you the operator?
[07:56] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: i don't think that grub will do it, but i think you can use isolinux or syslinux...
[07:57] <Madpilot> jamieleshaw, I'm one of many, yes
[07:57] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: i'm not 100% sure about that
[07:57] <andry> ok thank 4 infomation
[07:57] <jamieleshaw> Madpilot, Cool
[07:57] <mgmuscari> andry: madpilot speaks truth, although i should also point out that you can download sun java and install it for free...
[07:57] <x140l1n> 凑热闹来了
[07:57] <DigitalKiwi> Ali_nz11: did you see my PM?
[07:57] <mgmuscari> andry: it's not open source and it's not distributed under the GPL
[07:57] <Madpilot> ubottu, cn
[07:58] <avishek> i need some advice, though it's a bit off topic. I have an Ubuntu desktop box as an application server on the office LAN. I need to give the LAN at the office in another city access to this server. Would this be possible through the Net without having a dedicated line?
[07:58] <tty> Question:  I have 9.04 and Compiz enabled, but trying to edit the advanced settings such as which effects are enabled.  What software will allow me to do this?  All tutorial online seem to reference older versions and the information does not seem to apply.
[07:58] <mgmuscari> avishek: VPN
[07:58] <x140l1n> Madpilot: ho
[07:58] <Slart> !ccsm | tty
[07:58] <rsk> avishek: a internet connection is required.
[07:58] <rsk> avishek: on both ends.
[07:59] <andry> bye thx alott
[07:59] <mgmuscari> avishek: it doesn't have to be a dedicated, closed line office-to-office, though
[07:59] <avishek> thanks mgmuscari and rsk. Internet is available. What Ubuntu tools are there to set up VPN?
[07:59] <tty> !compiz
[07:59] <Madpilot> avishek, start @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN
[07:59] <DigitalKiwi> avishek: look into dyndns and ddclient
[08:00] <kiran_> iam not able to hear sound on my laptop speakers but in earphone how to resolve this
[08:00] <avishek> thank you everyone. I'll check it out
[08:00] <Slart> kiran_: try running "alsamixer" in a terminal and see if there isn't a separate volume slider for the speakers
[08:00] <mgmuscari> gl avishek
[08:01] <mgmuscari> hmm, so, does anyone know how to change which volume control my volume keys are bound to?
[08:01] <DigitalKiwi> dyndns is a website which helps keep keep track of dyanmic IPs which you may or may not have, ddclient is a tool to update it
[08:01] <avishek> thank you mgmuscari; I'll need all the luck! I know very little about networking :)
[08:01] <prospire> I use this command -> tar -xf backup.tar to extract all my files present in backup.tar
[08:01] <prospire> now how can I access those files?
[08:02] <prospire> I have 2 files in bakup.tar -> 1- backup.sql and 2-backup.xls
[08:02] <DanaG> I'm trying to wipe and restore-from-backup a system with ext4 partitions, but all I have is an Intrepid CD.
[08:02] <mgmuscari> er, they should be in your working directory
[08:02] <mgmuscari> just type ls... you should see what you extracted in there...
[08:02] <DanaG> How would I go about creating the desired partitions on the target disk?  gparted on intrepid doesn't do ext4.
[08:03] <mgmuscari> DanaG: you need something that supports ext4 to create the ext4 partitions
[08:03] <Circs> How does one change their DNS server?
[08:04] <dg1> how do i unmount a cd thats being used by wine
[08:04] <eepberries> DanaG: you can apparently mount ext4 partitions as ext3 partitions in intrepid, you just won't get the extra features of ext4
[08:04] <eepberries> DanaG: i'm not quite sure if this helps you, or what exactly you're trying to do
[08:04] <mgmuscari> circs: system->preferences->network connections
[08:05] <mgmuscari> eepberries: considering my experience with ext4 the other day, scary
[08:05] <mgmuscari> also, i won't be using ext4 again for a while
[08:05] <Circs> mgmuscari: Yeah the last update appears to have changed that
[08:05] <Slart> DanaG, eepberries: you *might* be able to mount ext4 as ext3 .. if you're not using all the features of ext4. Ext4 is not designed to be fully backwards compatible with ext3 afaik
[08:05] <prospire> mgmuscari: isn't there any way to access each file according to there index?
[08:05] <mgmuscari> prospire: what do you mean?
[08:05] <eepberries> DanaG: are you trying to keep your ext4 partitions intact? i don't think that would be possible if you're downgrading
[08:05] <prospire> mgmuscari: if you know php....then I want something equivalent to $zip->getNameIndex(0) for tar
[08:06] <phpgunner> Can someone tell me how to get svideo working?
[08:06] <eepberries> DanaG: i'm guessing you'll have to backup all the data from the ext4 partitions and recreate them as ext3
[08:06] <prospire> where 0 refers to the first file present in the archive
[08:06] <mgmuscari> prospire: sorry, i'm not fluent in phpo
[08:06] <prospire> and 1 refers to the second....and so on
[08:06] <Berzerker> Hi, I'm on 9.10 and I'm trying to change power options for the notebook, but I can't change any options (they're all grayed out)
[08:06] <eepberries> DanaG: which is waht you ultimately want, right?
[08:06] <Slart> !karmic | Berzerker
[08:06] <guoxiaolong> what is svideo
[08:06] <DanaG> hmm, I have a secondary drive that's got karmic on it, and the target drive to recreate has karmic.... all I need to do is get the secondary drive bootable.
[08:06] <guoxiaolong> ?
[08:07] <guoxiaolong> who can tell me what is svideo
[08:07] <DanaG> I was trying to chain to the thing from grub2, but it wasn't working.  Perhaps the secondary just needed grub-legacy reinstalled.
[08:07] <mgmuscari> prospire: i'm not really sure what you're looking for
[08:07] <DanaG> But.... does Intrepid grub do ext4?
[08:07] <phpgunner> guoxiaolong, its video output...which is on my laptop
[08:07] <eepberries> !s-video
[08:07] <DanaG> =
[08:07] <eepberries> !svideo
[08:07] <guoxiaolong> oh ah
[08:07] <kiran_> how to download compiz.deb
[08:07] <mgmuscari> DanaG: afaik, ext4 was introduced with jaunty
[08:07] <Slart> guoxiaolong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-Video
[08:07] <kiran_> without installing
[08:07] <prospire> mgmuscari: what do I do to extract just one file from the tar archive?
[08:07] <mgmuscari> kiran_: don't do that, just do sudo apt-get install compiz
[08:07] <mgmuscari> prospire: ah, ok
[08:07] <mgmuscari> hmm
[08:08] <guoxiaolong> thanks
[08:08] <eepberries> so i can force a monitor to use a certain resolution in the xorg.conf file, right?
[08:08] <Slart> eepberries: yes
[08:08] <sebsebseb> DanaG: 8.10 CD  or  8.10 Grub  afik  no good with Ext4 at all
[08:08] <DanaG> okay, then perhaps plan B:  go get a danged CD, and burn Jaunty.  =P
[08:08] <B|ackPanther> Is there a program in ubuntu that can enable me to record streaming radio ?
[08:08] <sebsebseb> mgmuscari:   DanaG  yes Ext4 was introduced with 9.04
[08:09] <DanaG> Yeah, I was trying to "make it simple" by not having to burn a CD... but it turns out, it's not simple.
[08:09] <Dayofswords> question, when you upgrade to the next version like 9.10 when it comes out
[08:09] <mgmuscari> prospire: try.... tar -xzvf foo.tar path/to/bar
[08:09] <DanaG> Cool, thanks for helping me not go on a wild goose chase, so to speak.
[08:09] <Dayofswords> would it be the same as if you just installed it normally from disc, other than the programs you had
[08:09] <sebsebseb> mgmuscari:   DanaG   and  Ext4 in 9.04 is pretty good really, but not perfectly stable, for example people might get a lock up issue if deleting big files  from Ext4 partitions
[08:09] <guoxiaolong> tar -vzxf is in use .gz tar-jvxf is in use .bz2
[08:09] <sebsebseb> mgmuscari:   DanaG  since the kernel they  in 9.04 and that
[08:09] <mgmuscari> sebsebseb: i had a wicked filesystem crash the other day using ext4
[08:10] <sebsebseb> they have in
[08:10] <sebsebseb> mgmuscari: with 9.04?
[08:10] <mgmuscari> sebsebseb: all 5 linux partitions are logical volumes on the same lvm
[08:10] <mgmuscari> sebsebseb: yes
[08:10] <sebsebseb> mgmuscari: oh right well  I didn't use lvm in 9.04, just normal partitioning :)  when doing Ext4
[08:10] <prospire> mgmuscari: whats path/to/bar ?
[08:10] <mgmuscari> sebsebseb: all 5 of them started barfing all over the place... multiply owned inodes, orphaned stuff everywhere, bad journals...
[08:11] <mgmuscari> prospire: zippedfolder/somefile.xls
[08:11] <mgmuscari> sebsebseb: yeah i was barely able to recover my /home and /etc before the thing was totally unusable
[08:11] <DanaG> hmm, while I'm at it, I might as well just burn karmic.  anyway, thanks.  going to bed now; will burn the CD tomorrow -- since grabbing a CD requires me to go somewhere and risk waking somebody.  =P
[08:11] <sebsebseb> DanaG:  ok np
[08:12] <DanaG> er wait, unetbootin may be the answer.
[08:12] <DanaG> HOpefully, unetbootin on intrepid can create a bootable newer-version.
[08:13] <mgmuscari> DanaG: you could also put karmic on a thumbdrive and install from that. goes faster, too
[08:14] <DanaG> well, I lost my 8 gig flash drive, and all I have now is a 32-gig music player that I can't empty (not enough room to offload stuff that's been modified only on the player).
[08:15] <DanaG> so, unetbootin.
[08:17] <pallepirat> Anyone here??
[08:17] <rsk> No.
[08:17] <pallepirat> Ha ha
[08:18] <DanaG> oh yeah, does unetbootin demand a format of the drive it's being put on?
[08:18] <DanaG> usb-creator does, even if the drive is already fat32.
[08:18] <pallepirat> I've just updated my Ubuntu system and now the pulseaudio sound server won't recognize my sound card
[08:18] <pallepirat> Anyone who had had the same problem?
[08:19] <pw-toxic> can someone tell me, why my software raids (raid1 and raid5) rebuildes sometimes(i think every month)?
[08:19] <rsk> what does update mean there
[08:19] <pw-toxic> both software raides are beeing rebuild at the same time..
[08:19] <pw-toxic> why?
[08:19] <pallepirat> Synaptics update
[08:19] <rsk> that can mean a bunch of things
[08:19] <pw-toxic> i dont think, that both raid drives have an error at the same time
[08:19]  * DanaG sees Synaptics and thinks touchpad.
[08:20] <eepberries> how do you copy output from the commandline using the commandline? note that i have no access to a mouse
[08:20] <DigitalKiwi> screen
[08:21] <eepberries> ...screen?
[08:21] <pallepirat> Sorry... The system sometimes updates itself, right? And yesterday after an update the sound card disappeared
[08:21] <DigitalKiwi> it lets you copy sections of it
[08:21] <DanaG> aah, looks like the answer is "no" on "does it format?"
[08:21] <DanaG> eepberries: where are you trying to copy to and from?  And is this under X, or bare console?
[08:22] <oroz> does anyone know how to fix mouse scroll lag in openGl games?
[08:22] <eepberries> i'm trying to copy a cvt modeline ouput in bare console
[08:22] <eepberries> i'm trying to get my tv to work with my ubuntu machine
[08:22] <njr> Hello.... just installed ubuntu on an archlinux/windowsXP setup.... should I use the same /boot partition for all linux installs?
[08:23] <pallepirat> Anyone who has the answer for this problem (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1228388)?
[08:26] <oroz> i have mouse buffer overflow type of lag can anyone help?
[08:26] <draconis> eepberries: you can always use "cat" to output it to a file. for instance append it to xorg.conf and then cut/paste it in nano
[08:27] <Curly_Q> Have you tried a different mouse Oroz?
[08:27] <oroz> yes
[08:27] <oroz> the thing is, i had this before and fixed it googling and such, but i forgot how i did it
[08:27] <draconis> eepberries: err, I mean redirect it to a file. cvt {parameters} >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:28] <draconis> eepberries: then it will be at the bottom of xorg.conf
[08:29] <Curly_Q> Try another Google.
[08:29] <oroz> just to give a lil info on what it does now, if i press left button and right button together, that action registers as middle button (scroll)
[08:29] <eepberries> ok
