[12:34] <datta> thank you jrib i will try this right now
[12:36] <quibbler> flackfizer, you could try K3B or if you want to spend $20 nero for linux
[12:37] <dr_willis> If you allready have the dvd video/vob files made.. you can use k3b or brassero or about any other cd/dvd burning app to make the actual disk.. thats the easy part.. generating the dvd video/menus is the hard part

[12:39] <nitin> sky_1: Isn't RAR proprietary?

[12:40] <JC_Denton_> How can I find out the default gateway for my wire(less)connection?
[12:42] <rnk> JC_Denton_, it's probably <IP_ADDRESS>, but you can check your router configuration
[12:42] <rnk> it's usually a web interface
[12:42] <rnk> JC_Denton_, or you could use DHCP, wich configures the interface automagically
[12:43] <rnk> oh, and i brainfarted on the earlyer ip. it should be <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:43] <syntax\> http://www.davisononline.org/images/stories/darker-theme/dark-large.png <-- how can those panels in the left side of this screenshot? can anyone help? the conky thing.
[12:43] <kristian_> jrib : this is what i get when i "sudo umount /dev/sdb1" - http://paste.ubuntu.com/103121/ - the directory/partition is only used by rtorrent, which is not running, so i don't understand why it refuses this. any thoughts?
[12:44] <JC_Denton_> rnk dhcp would sent this info to my pc wouldn't? i'm thinking it's incorrect though so I would like to have a look at the info dhcp is sending
[12:44] <jrib> kristian_: do you have a terminal open inside the partition?
[12:45] <rnk> JC_Denton_, well, the IP of the gateway is the same as the IP of the router, mostly because the router *is* the gateway
[12:46] <kristian_> jrib : no. currently i am sshing to the machine. (same lan) so then it should be on ubuntu partition.
[12:46] <jrib> kristian_: see if fuser or lsof will tell you then
[12:47] <marmuta> Question: How can I stop "ps -Ao comm:40" from truncating at 15 characters?
[12:47] <ali1234> my gamepad is now controlling the mouse cursor, and not working as a gamepad in games. how do i fix it?
[12:47] <JC_Denton_> rnk yes but where can I view these settings in ubuntu?
[12:48] <kristian_> jrib : i've checked can't find anything, but i will try removing it from fstab and update fstab.
[12:48] <kristian_> brb
[12:48] <rnk> JC_Denton_, wait, do you want to configure your network interface or your router?
[12:49] <simplenewb> how do I implement libpam-opie as part of my ssh challengeresponse login?
[12:49] <rnk> JC_Denton_, if it's the interface, just look around in the settings
[12:49] <marmuta> Is that a bug in ps?  "ps -Ao comm:40" never prints more than 15 characters, anyone?
[12:49] <rnk> JC_Denton_, if it's the router, the manual should tell you what to do.
[12:49] <sky_1> how to install this theme ? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Moomex-Ultimatum?content=77747
[12:50] <raevol> i still can't figure out what's going on with my sound
[12:50] <JC_Denton_> rnk no, it's the interface. I think my wlan and lan interface are receiving different settings
[12:50] <JC_Denton_> rnk but an ifconfig doesnt show gateway ip...
[12:50] <raevol> there's only master, pcm, and capture channels, and sound seems to be coming out of the black "rear" port, instead of the green "front" one
[12:50] <adam7> JC_Denton_: route shows you gateway ip
[12:50] <Icemagic> hi there
[12:51] <JC_Denton_> adam7 thanks
[12:51] <Icemagic> anyone can help me? I just installed ubuntu and can't install java :(
[12:51] <adam7> Icemagic: what version of Ubuntu did you install?
[12:51] <rainycloud> Icemagic
[12:51] <Icemagic> 64x one I think
[12:52] <adam7> Icemagic: 8.10?
[12:52] <Icemagic> yep
[12:52] <adam7> Icemagic: all you have to do is go to a website with a Java applet, and it will install automatically
[12:52] <raevol> anyone know why my audio is coming out of the wrong port
[12:52] <Icemagic> :o
[12:53] <Icemagic> mmm
[12:53] <daredevilthere> any article about ubuntu ppp cell phone configuration?
[12:54] <Icemagic> nope all sites are saying install java here :http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp
[12:54] <Xintruder> does ubuntu come with a default firewall?
[12:54] <adam7> Xintruder: no, but it comes with all ports are closed
[12:54] <Icemagic> any ideas how I install java :( ?
[12:54] <adam7> Icemagic: Firefox should pop down a little bar that says you need more plugins
[12:54] <Icemagic> nope
[12:55] <adam7> Icemagic: try a different Java website
[12:55] <Xintruder> so there is no fire wall developed by ubuntu at all?
[12:55] <quibbler> Xintruder, yes IPTables
[12:55] <adam7> Xintruder: no, but you don't need one by default
[12:55] <Icemagic> I did :|

[12:56] <dns53> Icemagic sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[12:56] <dns53> ver 5 is also there as well as icetea
[12:56] <kristian_> jrib : i was able to umount after closing screen. and now i have mounted partition to ~/x. is the best way of moving a lot of data by mv? about 40-50gb. from ~/x to ~/x/rtorrent.
[12:56] <adam7> dns53: he's on 64 so he needs icedtea for firefox plugin I think
[12:56] <Icemagic> sun-java6-jre is already the newest version.
[12:56] <jrib> kristian_: yes, it should be almost instant since it's no the same partition
[12:57] <kristian_> jrib : ah! stupid me! :-P thanks! :-)
[12:57] <dns53> i think that package also installs the plugin if not install sun-java6-plugin
[12:59] <Icemagic> so any Ideas how I get java ?
[12:59] <adam7> Icemagic: try installing icedtea6-plugin
[12:59] <adam7> !java
[12:59] <Melio1> icedtea works pretty good
[12:59] <Icemagic> mmm I was there didn't work
[12:59] <Melio1> but real java tends to work places icedtea doesnt
[12:59] <adam7> Icemagic: run sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin
[13:00] <Icemagic> ok
[13:00] <adam7> Melio1: but does real java have an x64 plugin?
[13:00] <Melio1> adam7 i was under the impression it did
[13:00] <Melio1> but i can't verify that
[13:00] <Melio1> i don't run 64
[13:00] <adam7> Melio1: you know, actually I was thinking it might too
[13:00] <adam7> and I'm on 64
[13:00] <adam7> but I can't find it if it does
[13:00] <Icemagic> so  got icedtea now
[13:00] <Melio1> i was considering it recently
[13:00] <adam7> Icemagic: ok, restart firefox
[13:01] <Icemagic> doing...
[13:01] <Melio1> running all 64bit
[13:01] <Melio1> because i realized i don't really run a lot of apps
[13:01] <Icemagic> YAAAAY works!
[13:01] <Melio1> and they're probably all ported to 64bit
[13:01] <adam7> 64bit works perfectly for me
[13:01] <Melio1> how much performance diff is it
[13:01] <adam7> most (all?) OSS apps run on 64
[13:01] <adam7> the only ones I have trouble with are closed source apps that are only made for 32
[13:02] <Melio1> adam7 not all of them did before
[13:02] <adam7> but there aren't very many of them, and most of them can run
[13:02] <Melio1> it's kinda a new statement :)
[13:02] <adam7> Melio1: I haven't met any that aren't
[13:02] <Besogon> Hi! How can I mount ISO file (from DVD) with gvfs-mount? I added to FUSE group himself, but haven't result.
[13:02] <Icemagic> thanks for the help :)
[13:02] <adam7> Icemagic: no problem :)
[13:02] <Melio1> but like i said. is there peformance differnces
[13:02] <rainycloud> how much performance difference is there between a 64 and 32? I dont know but sometimes the startup of the 8.10 tend to be a bit on the slower side after passing login screen that is.
[13:02] <Melio1> is it worth the effort of reisntalling for 64bit
[13:03] <adam7> Besogon: dunno how to do it with gvfs-mount, but you can do it with sudo mount -o loop /iso/file /mount/point
[13:03] <Melio1> i wouldnt mind seeing comparisons on the web
[13:03] <adam7> rainycloud: Melio1: not much, almost none
[13:03] <Melio1> i don't see much of the point
[13:03] <adam7> it's the new thing :)
[13:03] <Melio1> 32bit apps are fully compatable with 32bit os's
[13:03] <Melio1> and there's tons of it
[13:03] <Melio1> yay cutting edge
[13:03] <Melio1> 10 points for cutting edge
[13:03] <adam7> the thing is, x64 is also capable of running x32
[13:04] <tom_eats_lives> anyone know if uplink and defcon serials work with linux versions ?
[13:04] <Besogon> adam7: I know it. But I need mount ISO with nautilus script and without ROOT
[13:04] <adam7> Besogon: I don't know then, sorry :(
[13:04] <kristian_> jrib : thanks a lot! :-) done now, just heading over to fstab to make it stay. :-)

[13:09] <Some_ux> hi, When I create a dialup connection to my ISP using PPTP or L2TP, am i supposed to see a new PPP0 interface ?
[13:09] <quibbler> Besogon, why is an iso file on a dvd?
[13:09] <Anarhist> hi, i need to remove +x from all the files which aren't directories after the move of some directories from FAT. how do i do that, if i just do it recursively it messes up the directories
[13:10] <tom_eats_lives> sky_1, Ok else always wine but thats quite "ugly"
[13:10] <jrib> Anarhist: use find with -type and -exec
[13:11] <Anarhist> jrib, thanks
[13:11] <theunixgeek> It's success story time! I got a friend to switch her office computer over to Ubuntu. I spent about 7 minutes setting it up to have a more familiar Windows-like look with only one panel, with only the relevant applications in the application menu.  Switching over from Vista, she says the interface looks much brighter, cleaner, and easier to use! Thank you, developers! :D
[13:12] <theunixgeek> and she finds it to be more stable as well
[13:12] <jrib> Anarhist: another way would be to remove it recursively and then use chmod a+X recursively to give it back to only the directories
[13:13] <quibbler> theunixgeek, good man congrads!
[13:13] <theunixgeek> :)
[13:13] <theunixgeek> a few of her co-workers were sort of scared about it. they were especially scared about the office 2007 compatibility
[13:13] <theunixgeek> but OOo 2.4 in Ubuntu opens the *x documents just fine
[13:15] <Titan8999> 3.0 will handle all 2k7 docs
[13:15] <Besogon> quibbler: no. I did iso with dd command. And now want mount it with right click on mouse
[13:16] <kristian_> when i type "cd lost+found" in /, then i get permission denied, so i try with sudo infront, and that is invalid command, how can i navigate to /lost+found then?
[13:16] <Titan8999> why not just mount it in the terminal since you are already there
[13:17] <Titan8999> kristian, you can do sudo ls /lost+found
[13:17] <Titan8999> and if you need to do something with a file there just use the absolute path
[13:17] <quibbler> Besogon, you have nautilus scripts....it should mount
[13:17] <Titan8999> there is another way but it typically isn't "supported"
[13:17] <troythetechguy> I updated my desktop (8.04) yesterday, and now my graphics are all messed up.  Usually, I can select "hardware drivers" from the system/admin menu, and check the box next to envidia driver for my graphics card, but that option is no there.  I look in synaptics and I see linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-22-generic is installed, but there is also an option for <IP_ADDRESS>.  How do I know if I need the .23 one?
[13:18] <Besogon> quibbler: Where can I find it? I realy can do this script.
[13:18] <DaViDe87> ciao a tutti

[13:19] <McScruff> hi all, how do i change my computer name
[13:20] <kristian_> Titan8999 : thanks. :-) strange that you can't navigate the directory though, at least i think so. ;-) sudo ls /lost+found, showed nothing, so i guess that means the dir is empty! ?

[13:33] <simplenewb> can I make openssh require an rsa key and my password and not just one or the other?
[13:33] <ugyelet> Does not work mean it does not pop up terminal window, I see only a flash.

[13:36] <SiDi> sky_1, under Ubuntu or Kubuntu ?

[13:36] <Guest81112> hi
[13:37] <sky_1> i am new on Gnome -_-
[13:37] <SiDi> sky_1, open System > Preferences > Appearence, and go to the tab named "Themes"
[13:37] <jauntyjoe> hi, could someone tell me how to permanently stop the creation of core files?
[13:37] <Brecio> hi, good morning 4 every one
[13:38] <SiDi> sky_1, then you can either drag 'n' drop the .tar.gz theme file to this window, or click the "Install" button and search for it manually. You can also put the folder contained in the theme directly inside the .themes/ folder in your home
[13:38] <adaptr> jauntyjoe: man ulimit, set it to 0 to disable
[13:38] <nzfaginoz> ok
[13:38] <SiDi> Brecio, thanks, you too (at 2 PM though)
[13:38] <adaptr> jauntyjoe: of course, you could also stop running software that crashes
[13:38] <Brecio> :P

[13:38] <vigo> I have a Itronix, older laptop type thing and wanted to test a min of 8,04 befire I loaded it onto the box, so can I test it on this one that has 8.10 installed?
[13:39] <Chiliblack> I have a book shelf pc based on a Sahara 3810 motherboard by FIC, it has a intel 810 chipset. Ubuntu server 8.10 installs but just won't boot, seems to be an issue with the ide driver built in to the kernel. Should I just try an older version of ubuntu?
[13:40] <srdgame> which channel I should join if I have question about pan (pan news reader)
[13:40] <sky_1> SiDi: Can you help me with installing icons ? :)
[13:40] <vigo> Chiliblack: There are some minimal installs for older hardware, Xubuntu is one
[13:41] <Chiliblack> vigo are they based on the same kernel
[13:41] <vigo> Chiliblack: yes
[13:41] <jauntyjoe> adaptr: did "man ulimit" and got "No manual entry for ulimit"
[13:41] <sky_1> SiDi hm ? :ň
[13:41]  * Icemagic wonders what the difference between windows xp and ubuntu are
[13:41] <Icemagic> :/
[13:41] <Chiliblack> I think I might end up with the same problem then
[13:41] <ugyelet> quit
[13:42] <Brecio> hum, sorry about the question out of place, but is urgent, someone here is a veterinarian? plz pvt-me
[13:42] <adaptr> jauntyjoe: I know, but that's still what you need to set... check out /etc/security/limits.conf
[13:42] <vigo> Chiliblack: some are can be reverted or somesuch thing, is a minamalist thing
[13:42] <cntk> hai
[13:43] <SiDi> sky_1, sorry was gone
[13:43] <ardaking> hi
[13:43] <SiDi> sky_1, you can drag 'n' drop the same way, or put the icon folders to .icons :)

[13:48] <craigbass1976> I get errors when a php script runs a query that returns no results.  On my CentOS box, this doesn't happen.  Is this just an apache/php config?
[13:48] <craigbass1976> Errors supressed or something?
[13:48] <dns53> ardaking look at what your phone allows, it may allow you to change that or perhaps your phone can be plugged in and used as a card reader (my old one did)
[13:49] <KenBW2> is there a way to make ubuntu go to sleep after 2 hrs of inactivity (Power Management only goes up to 1 hour)
[13:49] <SiDi> sky_1, where you using KDE before ?
[13:49] <ardaking> dns53 great idea thanks ;) but i would that all works...not find "diversivi"
[13:50] <KenBW2> is there a way to make ubuntu go to sleep after 2 hrs of inactivity (Power Management only goes up to 1 hour)

[13:50] <sky_1> SiDi: Kubuntu,Debian, Fedora, Mandriva
[13:51] <dns53> ardaking a sd card reader is also quite cheap if nothing else works

[13:52] <joerack> Hello. Can you help me? I don't have mic working
[13:52] <SiDi> sky_1, when i was using amarok under gnome i couldnt find a way to change themes :x
[13:53] <craigbass1976> KDE was always for me a "how the balzes to you do such and such.... Oh, duh; there it is" type of thing
[13:53] <sky_1> i use gnome because my internet under Kubuntu doesnt work
[13:53] <craigbass1976> sky_1: eh?  you on dialup?
[13:53] <sky_1> ADSL
[13:53] <dns53> ardaking you could try updating your phone if possible
[13:54] <sky_1> i set ip,netmast,gateway and dns but then nothing happend
[13:54] <ardaking> dns53 it's at latest update...the problem is the obex server not the phone
[13:54] <herra> I've changed my default username from admin to herra by "usermo -l herra admin" however, the user herra still points to /home/admin and I can't change it on the GUI - it's greyed out.. how do I remedy this on the commandline please?
[13:54] <herra> *usermod
[13:55] <craigbass1976> sky_1: never messed with that.  How does it work?  Cat5 coming into your box?

[13:55] <MarkusderKiller> weeeeeeeeeeeeee
[13:56] <craigbass1976> sky_1: that's weird.  Wonder if you can get on without even logging into the GUI (Ctrl+Alt+F1) by messing with ifconfig
[13:56] <sky_1> craigbass1976: i must learn how gnome works :)))
[13:57] <ottoshmidt> how do I switch to default guest session in intrepid?

[13:57] <sky_1> hmm how to change wallpaper ? i am confused
[13:57] <craigbass1976> ANYONE:  sky_1's issue makes no sense to me.  Why would networking work in GNOME and not KDE?
[13:58] <craigbass1976> This isn't Windows...
[13:58] <sky_1> craigbass: different network manager ?
[13:58] <craigbass1976> sky_1: under the hodd is the same stuff

[14:09] <sotiris001> hello everyone is it possible to install ubuntu from an external usb disk?
[14:09] <_Ben> im having some trouble installing ubuntu server edition. comes up with an error on boot saying that it can't load '0:6' and that I should choose a kernel appropriate to my cpu. if i take the disk out and put it in a machine with a compatible cpu is there any way i can configure it to make it work? its for an amd gx1 cpu
[14:09] <tyfoo> how to check which module is used atm as grapgic card driver?
[14:10] <tux91> Is anybody on jaunty here? If so, does your sound work after recent updates?
[14:10] <horstle> hi
[14:10] <_Ben> tyfoo it will be in xorg.conf
[14:10] <Boohbah> _Ben: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geode_(processor)#Linux_on_Geode
[14:10] <sotiris001> the problem is that usb disk is partitioned
[14:10] <tyfoo> _Ben: the xorg.conf is empty. there are only som Identifiers defined
[14:10] <_Ben> tyfoo thats weird then...
[14:10] <Jockeo> In OO spreasheet, I have two long lists with students grades for two different exams. Each list have two columns with "Student ID" and "Grade". How can I organise the data in a format with the three columns: "Student ID", "Grade 1", "Grade 2"? (All students didn't take both exams, so I can't just sort based on student ID)
[14:10] <tyfoo> yeah
[14:10] <_Ben> thanks boohbah
[14:11] <sotiris001> if i select boot from usb what's the order partitions will be checked?

[14:19] <joaboaconstrctr> anyone know how I can import mac address book to evolution in ubuntu?
[14:19] <Umeaboy> Boohbah: I am running it from Terminal now and nothing like that happens.
[14:19] <Umeaboy> Oooooooh. Now it did.
[14:19] <Umeaboy> opera: X Shared memory extension is not available. ZPixmap not supported. Segmentationerror.
[14:20] <_Ben> hey boohbah, apparently i need to change the kernel from an i686 to an i586. i don't actually know how to do this.... can it be done via aptitude?
[14:20] <Umeaboy> _Ben: Ver old computer?
[14:20] <Umeaboy> Very
[14:20] <_Ben> Umeaboy - amd gx1 based thin client
[14:21] <joaboaconstrctr> I import to a file on usb, and then when I use import in evolution, it doesnt regognize it
[14:21] <_Ben> want to use it for a simple mysql server. there will only be a very small load on it so slow doesnt matter
[14:21] <nsadmin> _Ben you can do it with aptitude if there are available kernels... you might end up having to either: get an available kernel which is not quite i586, maybe i486
[14:21] <nsadmin> or compile your own
[14:21] <Umeaboy> _Ben: I thought i686 was for very very very old computers.
[14:22] <nsadmin> no, that's i386 :)
[14:22] <_Ben> :D
[14:22] <nsadmin> if by "very very very old" you mean 32-bit...
[14:22] <_Ben> at work there's an informix server with 8 xeon cpus thats running on i386... sco is really crap :D
[14:23] <nsadmin> linux would really make that machine fly
[14:23] <_Ben> can anyone point me in the direction of some reference material on how to swap a kernel?nsadmin, tell me about it. its running a legacy system.
[14:24] <Chiliblack> right got a bit further. I get dropped into busybox when grub tries to boot unbuntu server 8.10, if I press exit at busybox console it boots. How to I get the thing to just boot
[14:24] <Boohbah> Umeaboy: http://www.google.com/search?q=opera+zpixmap
[14:24] <nsadmin> swap a kernel?
[14:24] <nsadmin> you mean install another and boot it?
[14:24] <_Ben> nsadmin, yea
[14:25] <nsadmin> there are available kernels
[14:25] <_Ben> 2.4.36 i486 maybe??
[14:25] <nsadmin> that's way wayyy early
[14:25] <synthi> Anybody got a good How to for Updating an Kernel? :)
[14:25] <nsadmin> is that what you're running now?
[14:26] <_Ben> i know :) i have another thin client running tat for an http server
[14:26] <nsadmin> synthi: updating? you could apt-get the new kernel
[14:26] <_Ben> unfortunately that distro is uclibc not glibc and i cant get mysql on it
[14:26] <synthi> yeah but i need to configure it ?
[14:26] <synthi> or not?
[14:27] <nsadmin> what is your goal?
[14:27] <Titan8999> synthi: ubuntu isn't the best distro for custom kernels
[14:27] <Titan8999> synthi: it works decent "out of the box" and thats what it does best
[14:27] <nsadmin> it should be fine... but maybe there exists a kernel he can use
[14:28] <benzss> does anyone know if it's possibly to backup ktorrent?
[14:28] <Titan8999> nsadmin: yes, but something to keep in mind is that Ubuntu kernel config is much different than other distros and the learning experience won't really cary overy
[14:28] <Titan8999> err over
[14:28] <synthi> so i only need to type apt-get kernel2xxxx and i update my kernel?
[14:29] <nsadmin> synthi: why do you want to upgrade? what is your goal?
[14:29] <synthi> i just want to learn how it works
[14:29] <estan> hm. how can i turn off preview thumbnails on the desktop?
[14:29] <nsadmin> ok, so what specifically do you want to learn?
[14:29] <estan> i can't find it in the appearance settings..
[14:30] <KB3RWV> hey
[14:30] <nsadmin> hay's for horses!
[14:30] <w3wsrmn> moo
[14:30] <Boohbah> synthi: if you really want to learn about the kernel, get some source and compile it
[14:30] <nsadmin> or... cows...
[14:30] <swissman> hi all ;-)
[14:30] <w3wsrmn> :3
[14:30] <Titan8999> synthi: gentoo is the place to learn kernel compilation IMO
[14:31] <KB3RWV> Anyone try running itunes in wine?
[14:31] <nsadmin> under ubuntu there are some things you can use that would add a bit of convenience
[14:31] <synthi> mh..
[14:31] <synthi> nn
[14:31] <NiobeDb> Can anyone recomend a good small BBS like phpBB?
[14:32] <Titan8999> NiobeDb: you could use drupal
[14:32] <estan> (nevermind i found it)
[14:32] <_Ben> if i want to install a new kernel, i in theory can do it via aptitude privided their exists a compatible one available right? what about actually making that kernel boot: i need to muck about with grub for that don't i?
[14:32] <nsadmin> synthi: first, there's a script called make-kpkg which does two main things
[14:32] <Boohbah> NiobeDb: vbulletin maybe? i don't know if it's small
[14:32] <Titan8999> NiobeDB: drupal will have other uses as well
[14:32] <jrib> _Ben: you should be getting kernel upgrades from APT automatically with update-manager and they will automatically be setup for you
[14:32] <Titan8999> Boohbah: vbulletin is commercial
[14:33] <nsadmin> (once you have a kernel config...) it builds your kernel, and second, it packages it into a debian package
[14:33] <NiobeDb> Titan8999, I have wordpress atm, is drupal a CMS as well?
[14:33] <_Ben> jrib, i need to downgrade kernel as it currently refuses to boot on i686 (amd geode cpu)
[14:33] <Boohbah> Titan8999: oh i see
[14:33] <Boohbah> NiobeDb: drupal is full of holes...
[14:33] <NiobeDb> Boohbah, I'll see what size vbulletin is
[14:33] <nsadmin> you could try openacs, but that's big
[14:33] <jrib> _Ben: have you found the relevant bug report?
[14:34] <Titan8999> Boohbah: what sort of holes?
[14:34] <_Ben> jrib: uhm no....
[14:34] <KB3RWV> Anyone try running Itunes in wine?
[14:34] <Titan8999> KB3RWV: check the wine appdb
[14:34] <jrib> _Ben: you need to provide more details.  Did ubuntu boot with an older kernel and then update-manager gave a new one and this one now fails?
[14:34] <NiobeDb> I think openacs is too big for me but it looks good
[14:34] <_Ben> jrib.... its a long story...
[14:34] <KB3RWV> It gave me an error and wouldnt finish installing titan
[14:35] <jrib> _Ben: summarize it
[14:35] <Titan8999> Boohbah: there are hundrends of additional security modules that can be added to it
[14:36] <NiobeDb> I might just see how much phpBB3 needs and make room lol
[14:36] <NiobeDb> I might be able to get something to make wp + phpBB to work together
[14:37] <cikki> hi all!
[14:37] <NiobeDb> hello
[14:38] <_Ben> jrib: I have a thin client running on an AMD GX1 cpu with a 4.6gb laptop harddisk in it. it has no cd drive or spare id controller and cannot boot off of usb. the only option was for me to put the laptop disk into a laptop (the one im using now) and install ubuntu server edition from there. unfortunately the laptop has a modern pentium m cpu which works an i686 kernel. so after installing and putting the harddisk back into the thin client, the thin client refu
[14:38] <_Ben> ses to boot. i need to somehow revert the kernel on that hdd to an earlier one or just one that is configured for i586 or older
[14:38] <cikki> Is it possible to have IDL installed for free on my ubuntu? Gdl won't work. Is there any free version of the real IDL, ore someway to meke it work anyway?
[14:38] <jrib> _Ben: uname -r
[14:38] <Titan8999> cikki: IDL stands for?
[14:39] <_Ben> jrib ???
[14:39] <nsadmin> I Don't Lie?
[14:39] <jrib> _Ben: what does 'uname -r' return?
[14:39] <cikki> Titan8999: it's a programming language and toolkit
[14:39] <cikki> mosly used by astrophysicists
[14:39] <NiobeDb> jrib, ther kernel thingy
[14:39] <_Ben> dunno. im using that laptop but not booting from that disk
[14:39] <Titan8999> cikki: look purely commercial to me
[14:40] <NiobeDb> jrib, something like this 2.6.27-9-generic the kernel version
[14:40] <blackegde> hello
[14:40] <jrib> NiobeDb: I understand, I'm trying to help _Ben
[14:40] <jrib> _Ben: boot it on the laptop and come back here
[14:40] <NiobeDb> jrib, lol sorry I thought you where asking hahah >_<
[14:40] <cikki> Titan8999: it is. I wonder if anyone here knows it and even also a free version of it...
[14:40] <sky_1> anyone can me help with isntalling Opera ?
[14:40] <_Ben> jrib, oh the kernel version is 2.6.26 i think
[14:41] <jrib> _Ben: my guess is it's using -generic.  That works on most cpu
[14:41] <cikki> Titan8999: probably i'm off topic, i know. But I tried...
[14:41] <cikki> bye so.
[14:41] <Titan8999> sky_1: should work with: sudo apt-get install opera
[14:41] <vigo> cikki: like matlab?
[14:41] <sky_1> ah i found it now
[14:41] <cikki> vigo: no... not really...
[14:42] <sky_1> Titan: no Opera is not GNU project cant be in repo
[14:42] <_Ben> jrib, if it is on generic is there any way i can change it to a i586,486 or 386??
[14:42] <vigo> cikki: there is a free-open source matlab doohicky
[14:42] <Titan8999> sky_1: you may have to enable an extra repository
[14:42] <cikki> vigo: i have octavia and maxima, but i nedd something like idl for image issues and other things...
[14:42] <Titan8999> sky_1: it does exist in a ubuntu repository, i have installed it via aptitude before
[14:43] <cikki> vigo: never mind!
[14:43] <sky_1> i downloaded it from theis site...befofore i can saw x64  version -_-
[14:43] <vigo> cikki{ I saw a few interesting ones in the Synaptic package manager
[14:43] <jrib> _Ben: /msg ubottu info linux-image-i386

[14:44] <ronny> hi
[14:44] <Titan8999> ubuntu: what board do you have?
[14:44] <jrib> _Ben: there are -386 kernels in APT.  Let me check what the documentation says about your processor though
[14:44] <vigo> cikki" Yes, multiverse stuff, or whatever, I am just getting back , went sailing with Fiesty on the laptop
[14:44] <_Ben> ok thanks

[14:48] <_Ben> ronny, can you succesfully use your wireless elsewhere ??
[14:48] <ronny> _Ben: yeah
[14:48] <Titan8999> ljsoftnet: if enable WPA
[14:48] <ronny> _Ben: it even worked in the a nets of the 25c3

[14:49] <[vr]>  Is it possible, while within X, to unload snd modules and re-load them? (My audio quit while playing mp3's) Or will these modules remain 'in use' indefinitely?

[14:49] <Titan8999> ljsoftnet: or truly secure I should say
[14:49] <_Ben> ronny, do the other networks use wep?
[14:49] <NiobeDb> how much is 195,555 Bytes?
[14:49] <nsadmin> about ten dollare!
[14:49] <ronny> _Ben: my home stuff uses wpa, also the wpa in the b/g networks works fine
[14:49] <Titan8999> ubuntu: sorry, I am not familar with the nvidia chipsets
[14:49] <ronny> _Ben: we have only one building with a nets, thats where my laptop crashes
[14:50] <jrib> _Ben: hmm, I can't find the documentation that would tell me what the right kernel for your processor is.  I guess you can just try the -386 one and see what happens
[14:50] <_Ben> ronny, in that case i have no idea...
[14:50] <NiobeDb> lol
[14:50] <_Ben> jrib, do u know what apt-get install * i need?
[14:50] <ronny> i think all i need to do is idsable a support
[14:50] <ronny> _Ben: can you sugest a support channel about linux wlan?
[14:50] <nsadmin> or today, just for you, $9.99!
[14:51] <_Ben> ronny, sorry no. i avoid wireless like the plague
[14:51] <jrib> _Ben: the metapackage is linux-386.  You probably still need to choose the -386 kernel from the grub boot menu when you boot
[14:52] <DonnieDarko> hi, i am trying to search for *.tar and *.rar in the desktop search
[14:52] <spsneo> how to install restricted drivers like driver for ati radeon card
[14:52] <sky_1> which name will be after Inrepid Ibex ?
[14:52] <_Ben> thanks jrib. im gonna try that now.
[14:52] <slayer^_^> jaunty jackalope
[14:52] <IdleOne> jaunty jackalope
[14:52] <sky_1> lol :D
[14:52] <sky_1> still funny names
[14:52] <slayer^_^> ehm simply asking a question is the right way to ask something, or have i got to input a specific command?
[14:53] <DonnieDarko> but it doesn't work - the help says to use *.[ch] but it doesn't work with more than one character as a filetype
[14:53] <jrib> slayer^_^: just ask a specific, detailed question on a single line
[14:53] <slayer^_^> ok, i did then...
[14:53] <Boohbah> all the previous versions were named after real animals, but the jackalope is fake! is this a bad omen?
[14:54] <spsneo> how to install restricted drivers like driver for ati radeon card
[14:54] <IdleOne> !ati
[14:55] <spsneo> ubottu: thanks
[14:55] <slayer^_^> Hi, i cannot get working a laser printer CANON LBP 2900i on ubuntu intrepid ibex 32 bit 8.10 . I tried following the guide on the official website, but with no luck... any ideas?
[14:55] <IdleOne> Boohbah: the jackalope is not fake! just not seen very often sorta like the yeti :)
[14:55] <NiobeDb> ubottu, help
[14:55] <nsadmin> promo seafood grotto mister ubotto
[14:55] <spsneo> ubottu: yeah i do know that
[14:56] <sky_1> dont chat with ubottu :D
[14:56] <NiobeDb> I want to open your brain ubottu and make you better ^_^ *hugs ubottu*
[14:56] <jrib> slayer^_^: you should probably tell us what guide you used and what exactly happened/didn't happen
[14:56] <Boohbah> IdleOne: ahh yes the jackalope has a wikipedia entry, it MUST be real :)
[14:56] <IdleOne> Boohbah: :)
[14:56] <jrib> google images has pictures too :)
[14:56] <slayer^_^> i used this guide and it didn't work for me : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/CanonPrinters/Canon_LBP_2900#Compiling%20the%20driver%20(amd64)%20Steps:
[14:57] <jrib> slayer^_^: again, "didn't work" is vague
[14:57] <slayer^_^> everything seems to be ok, no major error messages, the printer simply doesn't print
[14:57] <DonnieDarko> nobody has a clue?
[14:57] <slayer^_^> everything i try to print goes in queue... but it never prints
[14:58] <vigo> Who was looking for scientific ?
[14:58] <jrib> slayer^_^: uname -m
[14:58] <slayer^_^> uname -m = i686
[14:59] <vigo> Science repos : >>>>http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Linux_software_equivalent_to_Windows_software#Scientific
[14:59] <slayer^_^> the only strange thing is that my printer is lbp 2900i , but i cannot find absolutely anything on the net... thus i thought it was the same driver of lbp 2900
[14:59] <jrib> slayer^_^: this guide seems to be for amd64
[15:00] <zeroRooter> i finally fixed my laggy mouse problem!
[15:00] <slayer^_^> no, the guide is not for amd64... only the last section is for amd64
[15:00] <jrib> slayer^_^: and the 1st step...
[15:01] <slayer^_^> yes, the 1st step works... but i cannot find anything for lbp 2900i , just for 2900
[15:01] <jrib> slayer^_^: why aren't you using the top of the guide?
[15:02] <slayer^_^> the top of the guide? sorry?
[15:02] <slayer^_^> again, this is the guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/CanonPrinters/Canon_LBP_2900#Compiling%20the%20driver%20(amd64)%20Steps:
[15:02] <jrib> slayer^_^: yes, you're linking me to the middle of the page that is entitled "Compiling the driver (amd64) Steps"
[15:02] <slayer^_^> sorry
[15:02] <slayer^_^> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/CanonPrinters/Canon_LBP_2900#Introduction
[15:03] <jrib> slayer^_^: so you are following subesctions 1-10?
[15:03] <slayer^_^> so, actually i am not a newbie... thus i don't do such mistakes :) just to be clear
[15:03] <sky_1> how i can set my WoW.exe icon ?
[15:03] <slayer^_^> yes, the only thing is that i didn't "alienize" rpm packages because the driver contains .deb packages
[15:03] <korogiannos> Hi.  what should I google to route my cousins PC (sharing the same adsl) through my pc, and subsequently limit his badwidth? (he's a torrent fiend and I can't even browse, let alone stream)
[15:03] <jrib> sky_1: right click -> properties -> icon maybe
[15:04] <sky_1> no
[15:04] <sky_1> fail
[15:04] <Boohbah> sky_1: right click on the desktop to make a new icon, then the path should be 'wine /path/to/exe'
[15:04] <slayer^_^> if you try to download the canon driver you'll see that there are debian and rpm packages... i installed the deb (even if the guide tells to alienize the rpm)
[15:04] <slayer^_^> i found on the net that people actually is installing hte debs
[15:05] <spsneo> i am not able to use restricted driver manager to install ati grpahics driver in ubuntu . i am behind a http proxy. it seems restricted driver manager does not work behind proxy. what to do?
[15:05] <ART> 你好
[15:05] <jrib> sky_1: wfm.  What exactly did you try?
[15:05] <slayer^_^> sorry, i am looking now that the guide has been updated and tells that we can use the debs
[15:06] <Paddy_EIRE> spsneo, let me google that one a sec
[15:06] <ahmed> ciscawy
[15:06] <spsneo> Paddy_EIRE: i am waiting for your reply :)
[15:06] <jrib> !who | slayer^_^
[15:06] <Boohbah> spsneo: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2005-October/012613.html
[15:07] <jrib> slayer^_^: one sec as I download...
[15:07] <slayer^_^> ok
[15:07] <slayer^_^> !jrib if you wish we can speak in private
[15:08] <Cheery> fuck, must break my wine install to get wine install. :(
[15:08] <twiadpaws> hey guys someone up for helping solving a problem? ;)
[15:08] <Cheery> because getting debian packages is so hard
[15:08] <jrib> twiadpaws: just ask your question
[15:08] <Paddy_EIRE> spsneo, have a look here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/111675
[15:08] <twiadpaws> oh cool
[15:08] <jrib> Cheery: please watch your language and be more specific about your issue
[15:08] <Cation_H`> Cheery: is this true?
[15:08] <spsneo> Paddy_EIRE: one sec
[15:09] <Paddy_EIRE> spsneo, it seems that bug report needs to be reopened.. could you possibly help provide the missing information that they require
[15:09] <twiadpaws> i've written a little script and put it into init.d. made a static link over to rc2.d. should mount samba folders automatically, it just doesnt work. if i run it manually it works just fine. if i boot i just get the message that the network wasn't reachable
[15:09] <Cheery> Cation_H`, jrib: it's not really an issue
[15:09] <korogiannos> How can I use my desktop as a gateway for my LAN, and limit other PCs badwidth to a certain % of our connection speed?
[15:09] <jrib> Cheery: ok, well this channel is for issues...
[15:10] <jrib> twiadpaws: are you making it run after networking comes up?
[15:10] <Cheery> just making debian packages is so ridiculously hard
[15:10] <spsneo> Paddy_EIRE: what can I do?
[15:10] <Paddy_EIRE> spsneo, and to clear something up.. are you currently using ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex?
[15:10] <jrib> slayer^_^: what version are you using?
[15:10] <twiadpaws> well it's at S99 so the network should be working by then
[15:10] <spsneo> Paddy_EIRE: yeah
[15:11] <slayer^_^> !jrib : i am using 1.60
[15:11] <Cation_H`> Cheery: using or making??
[15:11] <Paddy_EIRE> spsneo, ok.. I am terribly sorry for starting what I cannot finish as I must run of to a small job for a friend.. if you are willing to continue to try for help here and possibly wait or come back in about 1-2 hours I will do what I can
[15:12] <FloridaGuy33> Hey, I am trying to install 8.10, Intrepid IBEX on my Intel motherboard, and for the life of me, it's not working.  I got it to install once, but had to wipe my harddrive afterward - and now It won't reinstall.  I get to about 50% and I get a CD drive speed error.  Is this a common error, or could something actually be wrong with my system here?
[15:12] <jrib> Cheery: not really, but wine is already packaged
[15:12] <spsneo> Paddy_EIRE: thanks
[15:12] <Paddy_EIRE> spsneo, sorry man.. and no problems
[15:13] <korogiannos> Can I use my desktop as a router (with some kind of bandwidth limiting to each pc on my LAN) or do I need a separate server box?
[15:13] <Hodapp> Is there any way to tell NetworkManager what DNS to use? I have edited resolv.conf but it just keeps changing it back.
[15:13] <slayer^_^> !jrib : i am seeing that i got the error root@user-desktop capstatusui -P LBP2900 = *** captstatusui Socket Error *** even if i do the command sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd restart... wtf!!!
[15:13] <jrib> slayer^_^: no need for the !
[15:13] <twiadpaws> how can i be sure the network is ready by then? ;)
[15:13] <slayer^_^> jrib : ok
[15:14] <sky_1> Why i have on my keyboard button with Microsoft logo ????
[15:14] <aheckler> Hodapp: follow the directions here: https://www.opendns.com/homenetwork/start/device/ubuntu, substituting your preferred DNS servers in for the OpenDNS ones of course
[15:14] <FloridaGuy33> My kingdom for some install assistance if anyone is able to help
[15:15] <jrib> FloridaGuy33: just ask your qusetion
[15:15] <test> sky_1: in linux that is know as "super" or <mod4>
[15:15] <Guest47090> hi
[15:15] <sky_1> i must buy keyoboard with tux logo
[15:15] <synthi> lol
[15:16] <FloridaGuy33> I did: but I will repost.  I get to about 50% and get a 'your drive may be spinning too slow, your hard drive may be old, blah blah'' error. - but I -have- had Ubuntu 8.10 installed on the drive before, like a week previous.
[15:16] <|neon|> i am trying to connect a second monitor to my laptop running ubuntu, i am able to connected using "separate X screen" however i only see a portion of the desktop on the external monitor. my laptop is 1440x900 the external is 1600x1200 and it is configured that way under nvidia settins, however i can not see the entire scree any suggestions?
[15:16] <FloridaGuy33> I just.. messed up with my partitions and accidently deleted it >.>
[15:16] <korogiannos> can I use my hardy desktop to limit another PCs use of bandwidth (torrents) on a shared adsl connection?
[15:16] <Lantay77> sky_1: where can you get a keyboard with tux?
[15:16] <Hodapp> korogiannos: Why can't you just tell the other PC to limit its torrent bandwidth?
[15:17] <test> korogiannos: if your hardy desktop functions as the router between the other computer and the internet
[15:18] <FloridaGuy33> I guess I want to know, is this a known bug?  Or is there a workaround?  Or could there be an actual problem with my drive in the two days it was not installed on my system.
[15:18] <korogiannos> test: I could set that up, but don't know where to start looking
[15:18] <korogiannos> test: or rather, what to google
[15:18] <jrib> slayer^_^: checked the google results for "capstatusui socket error"?  There are some hits including a forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=161255&page=4
[15:18] <mas2> Could someone recommend a good NFO Viewer application?
[15:19] <slayer^_^> jrib : i am looking for it and i'll let you know
[15:19] <nihilitas> Does anybody have any experience with making the onboard digital coax work with Ubuntu 8.10 and a Gigabyte EX58-UD5 motherboard?  The analog/stereo jack outputs sound, but I can't get the coax to give me anything.  I've tested all of the options that show up in the "Sounds" preference window.  The ALSA, OSS, PulseAudio, and HDA Intel ALC885 Digital (ALSA) options are what give me the stereo output.
[15:19] <Hodapp> hmmm... no wonder Ubuntu doesn't work with my wireless, lspci isn't showing either of the 2 devices that are plugged into PCI ports
[15:19] <sky_1> Lantay77: I think it will be GNU ..and some guy give me this keyboard for free :P
[15:19] <test> korogiannos: do you have two nics?
[15:19] <mas2> !nfo
[15:20] <korogiannos> test:Not at present, but can install one
[15:20] <test> korogiannos: I would start by looking in to IP masquerading
[15:20] <jrib> slayer^_^: the wiki also has: Note: Turn on the printer before starting your computer to avoid socket error: (*** captstatusui Socket Error ***).
[15:20] <korogiannos> test: will do. thankyou : )
[15:21] <slayer^_^> jrib : i know... i am trying to do everything back from the beginning now that i've installed libgtk 1.2 ... even if i don't know why should it work now...

[15:25] <spsneo> is there any way to find the package to be installed from restricted driver manager?
[15:25] <jrib> sky_1: we like to keep this channel dedicated to ubuntu support only since it is so busy.  Mind moving your discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic?
[15:26] <sky_1> sorry
[15:26] <joshua24> can someone tell me why pidgin is using old icon theme?
[15:26] <Hodapp> Does anyone have any hints for how I might figure out why neither of my current PCI cards are shown in lspci?
[15:27] <nsadmin> Hodapp: a line does not appear for them?
[15:27] <Hodapp> nsadmin: Yes.
[15:27] <nsadmin> or you get "unkinown device"
[15:27] <Hodapp> nsadmin: No line appears.
[15:28] <Hodapp> nsadmin: And I know both pieces of hardware work in Linux because I've used them on other configurations.

[15:30] <ShackJack> General Flash 10 question for Ubuntu users... Is it just me or does Flash 10 use a bit more resources than it ought to... I have a Core Duo and video pegs it at 50% or more sometimes and my poor old P4 plays most vids kinda choppy... Anything I can do to improve it?
[15:30] <Hodapp> I seem to recall that Flash on Linux always uses way more resources than it should.

[15:32] <ShackJack> Hodapp: Yeah, though this time around doesn't seem to work as efficiently as past versions...
[15:32] <Hodapp> ShackJack: Adobe is known for that.
[15:32] <ShackJack> :)
[15:32] <ShackJack> Any suggestions on how I can improve my Flash experience... System tweaks, alternate plugins?

[15:42] <jrib> !defaultapp | estan
[15:42] <estan> as it is now when i doubleclick an .mp3, totem starts..
[15:42] <estan> jrib: ah.

[15:44] <RonPaul> I'm having problems with Flash websites.  in fact I can't get to my favorite pr0n site cuz i don't have the version of flash required.  could anyone help thanks
[15:44] <bthornton> I know it can read without problems...
[15:44] <slayer^_^> jrib : yes, i did
[15:44] <jrib> bthornton: it works.  But keep in mind it's reverse-engineered
[15:44] <jrib> slayer^_^: and you get the same error?
[15:44] <bthornton> jrib: That doesn't bother me as long as it doesn't break things. :)
[15:44] <slayer^_^> now i got the captstatusui socket error that i hadn't before
[15:44] <slayer^_^> i simply hadn't this before : This will launch a window that after a bit should say "ready to print".
[15:45] <bthornton> or, is "unlikely to break things"
[15:45] <jrib> bthornton: it never has for me, but it's possible of course
[15:45] <slayer^_^> jrib : now i got this new error... however i didn't print a single page now
[15:45] <jrib> slayer^_^: what new error?
[15:45] <bthornton> jrib: Good to know. Do you mount with any special options?
[15:45] <johnzorn> how can I get modprobe to see a driver?

[15:46] <estan> i have a folder with images, and i'd like to see thumbnails.. but i don't want thumbnails on e.g. my desktop.
[15:46] <jrib> estan: no, I don't think so
[15:46] <estan> hm. ok :(
[15:46] <jrib> slayer^_^: "i am seeing that i got the error root@user-desktop capstatusui -P LBP2900 = *** captstatusui Socket Error *** even if i do the command sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd restart"

[15:54] <silfer> hi
[15:54] <partitoman> hi
[15:54] <venport> Can anyone recommend a tut for ubuntu, I installed it yesterday and would like to learn more about the terminal and basic commands. (I’ve been looking things up on google but i thought i would ask you guys).
[15:55] <venport> This is also my first time with any linux distro
[15:55] <silfer> try googling around for some guides
[15:55] <JMS32> I m hide menubar in Kopete. How to restore it?
[15:55] <partitoman> Is anyone here familiar with the partitioning? I lost my main OS due to installation error and am now trying to restore it...
[15:56] <venport> thanks silfer, i've been doing that, and found a few, i'm going to start reading soon, Just thought i would ask those who know first...
[15:56] <FireFox||> partitoman: start with the ubuntu setup and create a partition for your other os in the supploed partitio manager
[15:58] <Boohbah> partitoman: you've probably overwritten the bootloader which may be solved using the installation disk for your previous OS
[15:59] <silfer> just wondering does anyone know if its easier to port apps from mac than porting them from windows?
[15:59] <partitoman> well here's the thing: I never meant to start the installation, and aborted it before anything actually happened. Or so I thought -- now I can't boot into my Mac OSX anymore! I described the problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1035765
[15:59] <partitoman> As no one's replied there so far I thought I'd come here...
[15:59] <xdr> hello, is there a "sysinstall-3" pkg for gentoo?
[15:59] <xdr> ubuntu
[15:59] <xdr> bah
[16:00] <Boohbah> xdr: huh, like FreeBSD?
[16:01] <xdr> Boohbah: to create a liveusb system
[16:02] <Boohbah> xdr: there is a nice tool called unetbootin for that sort of thing
[16:02] <ntndo> any links on running gtk apps in windows?
[16:02] <MenZa> ...you can get gtk for windows.
[16:02] <silfer> yea unetbootin is good
[16:03] <silfer> but you can only copy cd iso onto it i think...
[16:03] <rraj_be> info
[16:03] <Boohbah> ntndo: the windows installer for pidgin installs gtk automatically.
[16:03] <ntndo> I think I asked that wrong, actually
[16:03] <MenZa> ntndo: Most GTK applications for Windows installs it automatically, like Boohbah said. :)
[16:03] <xdr> silfer: I will need to install gentoo on my aspire one
[16:04] <ntndo> http://comix.sourceforge.net/  I'd VERY much like to use this on my windows box, what'd be a way to compile it or emulate it for use on a windows machinee?
[16:04] <mirak> hi
[16:04] <ntndo> Once I get gtk installed that is.
[16:04] <rraj_be> hello . . .could any one help me in installing Google gears for any website to speed up my browsing as my net speed is very very slow
[16:04] <jrib> ntndo: ask ##windows
[16:04] <Boohbah> xdr: yes just grab an iso and pop it in unetbootin
[16:04] <mirak> is there a way to remove totally ubuntu-desktop

[16:05] <sybux> hi all. I'd like to know how to change the expiration date of my own certificate. Someone can help me ?
[16:06] <estan> hm. anyone know of a good remote desktop control solution? after getting sick of having to purge my familys computer of viruses every 6 months i've set up ubuntu + virtualbox/winxp that they're happy with, but it would be nice if i could show them stuff from home over the net.
[16:06] <einarmagnus> hello everybody, I am setting up a server running ubuntu, mainly for sharing files and printer, i.e. samba. I'd like to be able to disconnect the screen and just just vinagre to control it but I find that I have to starx as root to be able to run it or change any settings at all. I must be doing something wrong, right? even windows allows you to do some administrative things as user after asking for password. So. What am I missing?
[16:06] <estan> can NX do that? i mean remote control, not just a new session.
[16:06] <estan> would be nice if they could just click something to give me access.
[16:07] <aquei> FloodBot1, hello
[16:07] <RonPaul> Does anyone know that if I enable UPNP on my router if that is the same as Port Fowarding?

[16:08] <_Ben> hi guys
[16:09] <user___> rraj_be: i am not sure, if ggears is for that, i recommend looking into wikipedia : proxy, squid to get a bit more input.
[16:09] <einarmagnus> ok, so my user lacked some permissions it needed. estan: check out VNC or vinagre

[16:19] <chandru> can anyone guide me in setting internet connection in ubuntu using rerliance data card ?
[16:19] <yeus> hi guys... I know that this is not particularly an ubuntu problem, but since I think most of the poeple are realtivly tech-savy, maybe they could still help me out.. i got a canon ip4000 printer which does not work anymore...  when i turn it on, the printhead first moves a little bit forth and back and than crahes immidiatly into the left wall of the printer-case
[16:19] <Delvien> I am having an issue with this Hard drive. I format the drive, and its a 196gb partition, Gparted reports 182.54gb, and after format, its 170.4 gb. How am I loosing 26gb ??
[16:20] <armornick> chandru, what kind of connection is that?
[16:20] <_Ben> Delvien, it has to do with the 'size' of a kilobyte
[16:20] <Lantay77> amornick: try /join ##gnome
[16:20] <chandru> armornick:  its wireless data card of reliance network
[16:20] <thomas__> Hello everyone
[16:20] <Delvien> _Ben ?
[16:21] <thomas__> I want to browse a shared drive that I have on my windows XP computer through the network, does anyone know how to do this?
[16:21] <_Ben> Delvien, the disk is 196 billion bytes, however, when you format, instead of treating a kilobyte as 1000 bytes, it is 1024
[16:21] <_Ben> a megabyte is 1024 kilobytes etc
[16:22] <_Ben> basically they lie when they say the disk is 196gb
[16:22] <Delvien> _Ben: I always knew they were lying, but even so...
[16:22] <Xpistos> Can anyone tell me where Ubuntu puts applications. Like windows has them in C:/Program Files but default. Where does Ubuntu put them? Thanks
[16:22] <_Ben> also after format the OS (ubuntu) reserves 5% of the disk aswell for lost+found
[16:22] <Delvien> Xpistos: all over, the "start" commands are run from /usr/bin
[16:23] <armornick> Xpistos, apps are put in /usr/bin, /bin and /sbin
[16:23] <Delvien> _Ben I see, thanks for the info
[16:23] <RoyK> hi all. I gave an old laptop with ubuntu to my mom for christmas, and she doesn't seem to have any problems with it, except "how can I install itunes?". Does anyone know a good player that may resemble itunes for linux?
[16:23] <_Ben> np.
[16:23] <yeus> RoyK: how about amarok?
[16:23] <RoyK> yeus: will check
[16:23] <armornick> RoyK, amarok has an iTunes mode
[16:23] <roland_> hallo
[16:23] <daredevilthere> jrib: Hey sry my pc hanged. well whn i bot ubuntu i c reveladation failed and my Harddisk clicks ?
[16:23] <RoyK> armornick: ok
[16:24] <_Ben> guys, how do i change my network drive from 8139rc to 8139too
[16:24] <_Ben> *driver
[16:24] <armornick> RoyK, however, I don't think you can download music from the itunes network via linux
[16:25] <RoyK> _Ben: disable 8139rc in /etc/modules
[16:25] <phaidros> once with fresh install i had local mail dalivery to my linux username, this is not anymore .. and i want it back again. whats the usally installed mta doing the local delivery?
[16:25] <RoyK> armornick: I don't think that's important
[16:25] <Xpistos> Maybe a better question would be where does gpodder put it? I can find it but I see most of the other stuff
[16:25] <armornick> Xpistos, if you've installed via apt, try /usr/gpodder
[16:25] <nsadmin> _Ben take the networking down that uses that card... remove the module... modprobe the desired module... ifconfig etcSomething should work now... put the networking back up
[16:26] <MOUD> I installed cedega yesterday but I get an error when running it in terminal "   CRITICAL Unable to load GTK2 Python bindings: No module named gtk " , can anyone help me?
[16:26] <roland_> jemand auf deutsch da
[16:26] <court> Hello all - I'd like to pop in with a network adapter curiosity. I just built a little machine and put Hardy on it. When I check ifconfig, the "RX packets" section says "dropped:4505970450" and that huge number grows by millions every second. The network interface still works just fine, but that "dropped" value sounds like a driver problem? Any ideas?
[16:26] <_Ben> RoyK 8139rc is not in /etc/modules
[16:26] <_Ben> nsadmin, err, how?
[16:26] <RoyK> _Ben: sec

[16:26] <giganto> hi all, is there a to do list that is able to blend into your desktop area?
[16:27] <giganto> something like those fancy system monitors
[16:27] <RoyK> _Ben: blacklist it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and autoprobe should use the other one
[16:27] <the_squircle> giganto: i think there's one you can add to the GNOME panel.
[16:27] <micro01> hey what is a good burning program for ubuntu for DVDs
[16:27] <_Ben> Royk, jus type autoprobe??
[16:27] <Grab> hello, does ubuntu close all running apps if cpu goes 100% ?? i was running a terminal when suddenly it disappeared??!!
[16:27] <Painkiller> hello, I have a little problem. I just connected my ext3 USB hard drive and it gave mean error, "mount: Stale NFS file handle". Can someone please help?
[16:27] <the_squircle> Grab: it shouldn't...
[16:27] <Xpistos> armornick: Thanks for the help, but still no luck. I have installed gpodder with apt-get, but I can find the app anywhere. gnucash and other show up and gpodder is working,but but I am at a loss. THanks for trying
[16:28] <Grab> the_squircle, it seems it crashed
[16:28] <Grab> what can i do ?
[16:28] <Grab> to diagnose
[16:28] <giganto> the_squircle, i see, so there isn't any that floats above the background image?
[16:28] <RoyK> _Ben: I guess so - if not, add 8139too to /etc/modules - but I'd guess blacklisting 8339rc first would be good
[16:28] <thomas__> I'm trying to access a shared windows drive on a networked computer, how do I go about doing this?
[16:28] <micro01> what is a good burning program for ubuntu
[16:28] <armornick> Xpistos, why do you need to know where it is installed?
[16:28] <Grab> !burn
[16:28] <the_squircle> giganto: i'm sure there are.... I just don't know of them. try looking in synaptic
[16:28] <Grab> !burn micro01
[16:28] <Grab> !burn>micro01
[16:28] <giganto> the_squircle, yeah im looking at the moment.
[16:28] <daredevilthere> !nautilus
[16:28] <the_squircle> Grab: open up a new terminal?
[16:29] <_Ben> royk, ta will try that
[16:29] <daredevilthere> !gnome
[16:29] <the_squircle> Grab: maybe a program passed an exit to bash, so the terminal quit.
[16:29] <the_squircle> Grab: i dunno.
[16:29] <daredevilthere> 1desktop

[16:29] <Meho_> hey guys i was wondering is there a way to install nvidia drivers version 173 trough the terminal
[16:29] <Delvien> For some reason i keep getting pinged when someone says "armornick"
[16:29] <Grab> !slow
[16:30] <the_squircle> Meho_: Yep. the packages can be retrieved through apt-get.. but it's a lot easier to use the restricted drivers menu.
[16:30] <meermanr> I want a script of mine to create a notification balloon, where should I start?
[16:30] <Grab> ubottu crashed ?
[16:30] <jussi01> nope
[16:30] <the_squircle> Meho_: sudo apt-get install nvidia-drvers-something-something-173 i think
[16:30] <Ienorand> I'm looking for a vmware (player) Ubuntu machine, preferably ibex or jaunty, desktop version, that is downloadable without torrrenting, anyone know of a source?
[16:31] <the_squircle> Grab: Ubottu *never* crashes :P
[16:31] <Grab> ;P
[16:31] <armornick> Xpistos, is there anything in your /opt directory
[16:31] <Meho_> the_sequircle: i tried and the problem is that the restricted drivers option goes on a frits so can u tell me how i can get it trough apt-get on the terminal
[16:31] <the_squircle> lenorand: hypervisor i think would work.

[16:32] <armornick> Xpistos, then I don't know, and I don't have time to install it right now

[16:32] <G470> Hello all. I'm about to install Intrepid in an intel iMac (core duo) from the early 2006. The live-cd seems to recognize everything fine, but I have one doubt. Should I let the installer install the boot loader (and where?)? Keep in mind that this machine uses EFI.

[16:37] <_Ben> delvien, not sure i can help any further then.... it might be a problem with 2 partitions overlapping tho
[16:37] <Grab> * ubottu has quit (Excess Flood)  <= lol
[16:37] <the_squircle> I think i killed ubottu.
[16:37] <_Ben> royk, it says that my network card is not compatible with 8139rc and tat i should try using 8139too
[16:38] <Delvien> _Ben ext2 is a decent format to use for data drive ?
[16:38] <_Ben> royk, comes up t boot
[16:38] <RoyK> yeus, armornick: where can I find this itunes mode?
[16:38] <_Ben> delvien, no idea really... i just hit buttons and see what happens :D
[16:38] <RoyK> _Ben: does the networking work?
[16:38] <_Ben> royk, no
[16:38] <Xpistos> armornick: Thanks for trying. I will keep checking.
[16:38] <RoyK> _Ben: lsmod | grep 8139
[16:38] <thomas__> is ubottu coming bat? :(
[16:38] <the_squircle> Delvien: You might want to consider XFS and other higher-performance filesystems for solely-data drives.
[16:38] <thomas__> back*
[16:38] <armornick> RoyK, click on 'collection' and you should see a little ipod icon
[16:39] <the_squircle> thomas__: it'll reboot eventually

[16:39] <micro01> im trying to burn a movie on to DVD with brasero and it says that the file im trying does not have a suitable type for video projects....... how do i fix this so that i can burn this movie?
[16:39] <_Ben> royk, it lists both 8139too and 8139rc
[16:39] <gehel__> Delvien: FAT is still a decent solution for data only partitions if you need portability !
[16:39] <_Ben> royk, cp sorry, not rc
[16:39] <jokkaa> Is there anykind of netsend to use in ubuntu? i need to send messages to window computers on my network...
[16:39] <_Ben> ah!
[16:39] <thomas__> uhh, does anyone here know the irssi command to stop the client from printing information about people entering / leaving the room?
[16:40] <the_squircle> Delvien: XFS is great if you need really high performance
[16:40] <_Ben> that must mean i typed it into balcklist wrong
[16:40] <_Ben> brb
[16:40] <gehel__> jokkaa: have a look at smbclient
[16:40] <micro01> anyoneee?
[16:40] <RoyK> _Ben: ah
[16:40] <Delvien> the_squircle: kk gonna reboot really quick
[16:40] <Ienorand> micro01: Might need to recode, try VLC?
[16:40] <the_squircle> micro01: It has to be VOB to be burned
[16:40] <RoyK> _Ben: try rmmod both and then modprobe 8139too
[16:40] <jrib> thomas__: http://www.irssi.org/documentation/tips
[16:40] <RoyK> it should't load 8139rc if you blacklisted it, though
[16:40] <sam__> "Delvien: XFS is great if you need really high performance" What's XFS?
[16:41] <william> I am making incremental backups of a remote server using rsync. Everything is working fine but I would like to automate the process
[16:41] <Lantay77> !gnome
[16:41] <william>  currently I run a command 'sudo backup_remote_server.sh'
[16:41] <william>  the problem is I can't put this as a cron job because sudo prompts for a password
[16:41] <_Ben> royk, thanks ill do that
[16:41] <the_squircle> sam__: XFS is a journalling filesystem with wicked performance
[16:41] <RoyK> _Ben: blacklist the ones you don't want and try again
[16:41] <william> should I just enable the root account?
[16:41] <micro01> hey im trying to burn a movie onto DVD  wuth Brasero
[16:41] <micro01> but it wont let me
[16:41] <micro01> burn the avi file
[16:42] <micro01> can someone help me
[16:42] <MOUD> How can I access the files of my nokia phone? I've already added it to the Bluetooth devices
[16:42] <jrib> william: put it in root's crontab
[16:42] <micro01> ??
[16:42] <Somethief> micro01 it probably wants you to insert files converted into dvd format already with the foders like VIDEO_TS etc
[16:43] <Somethief> folders*
[16:43] <micro01> well then whats a good program i can use that automatically does that, cuz all it is is an AVI
[16:43] <william> jrib, ok, so I don't need to enable the root password for that?
[16:43] <jrib> william: no.  'sudo -i' will get you a root prompt, then you can 'crontab -e'
[16:44] <jrib> william: or just use /etc/crontab
[16:44] <william> jrib, the other problem will then be ssh-agent or rather keychains for authentication with remote host
[16:44] <kantlivelong> hey all.. im not sure if this an nvidia problem or not.. i used 177.x drivers fine with my 9800GTX but the 180.22 doesnt detect the device(even though its supposed to be supported inthis version)
[16:44] <maverick> Does anyone know how to let ubuntu automatically mount my ntfs drives and without asking for password?? it mounts them but when i click them
[16:44] <micro01> WHATS a good burning program then?
[16:44] <chris78v> i am hooking up wi-fi i need help installing
[16:44] <Ziber> Does .gz compress more than .tar.gz?
[16:44] <dustrial> hi, i got a desktop W-LAN-card... its ePCI,  if i run $lspci , i should see it right?
[16:45] <Hodapp> Ziber: What does .gz do?
[16:45] <Somethief> micro01 why dont you try googling
[16:45] <micro01> cuz  i want an answer from u guys
[16:45] <micro01> with first hand experience
[16:45] <Ziber> Hodapp: ... gzip.
[16:45] <thomas__> micro01: you should learn to be more patient...
[16:45] <Lukasz> A quick console way to copy samba shares?
[16:46] <MOUD> kantlivelong: 180.xx is buggy, use 177.xx instead, for older cards try 173.xx
[16:46] <Hodapp> Ziber: Keep going.
[16:46] <Ziber> Hodapp: ?
[16:46] <jrib> william: http://arctic.org/~dean/rdiff-backup/unattended.html what I have used in the past
[16:46] <chris78v> i need help installing my wi-fi

[16:47] <smartguyz> how do I delete xp from Ubuntu dual boot, how do I remove/delete XP totaly from my Ubutu
[16:47] <smartguyz> ???
[16:47] <MOUD> kantlivelong: Many cards are but the driver is not good
[16:47] <kantlivelong> MOUD: anythings is better then this.. im forced to 200mhz on a 700mhz gpu..
[16:48] <Hodapp> MOUD: What's the problem with 180?
[16:48] <thomas__> is ubottu back? :S
[16:48] <maverick> OMG it's so hard to get an answer in all this huge flood of questions...
[16:48] <william> jrib, that example uses a passphrase free private key which is REALLY BAD!
[16:48] <smartguyz> seeking UBUNTU HELP...
[16:48] <Somethief> smartguyz sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[16:48] <chris78v> i need to change security info on my wi-fi. how do i do that? does anyone know?
[16:48] <jrib> william: why is it bad?  How else would you expect to automate a backup?
[16:49] <Somethief> smartguyz just be carefull with that file or you might end up with nonbooting system
[16:49] <bullgard4> System > Help and Support opens Ubuntu Help Center > Search: I  type in 'gnome-access-guide' and obtain: 'No results for "gnome-access-guide",' although 'Search for Files' finnds 14 hits. What is the reason for thei failure?
[16:49] <Hodapp> Ziber: Do you know what gzip does, vs. what tar does, even in conjunction with gzip?
[16:49] <MOUD> Hodapp: It has a bug that it doesn't recognice the nvidia card, even if it's supported
[16:49] <william> jrib, you use keychains
[16:50] <Hodapp> MOUD: What card?
[16:50] <william> jrib, so you only need to provide the keyphrase once on system startup
[16:50] <smartguyz> need to get rid of XP i will use it via Virtual box latter need a strait UBUNTU system....
[16:50] <chris78v> can anyone help me with my wi fi security issue
[16:50] <chris78v> ???
[16:50] <MOUD> Hodapp: 9800, some geforece 8 series too
[16:50] <smartguyz> 100% Ubnuntu system...
[16:50] <presdec> martguyz, sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst remove the vista/xp part and then just format the xp partition
[16:50] <william> jrib, otherwise, if someone where to hack into your system you would essentially just be giving them the keys to your other server accounts
[16:50] <perillux> I'm trying to host a game server.  However I think i need to open the port with firestarter and I don't know what type it is, in the list it has DHCP, DNS, FTP, HTTP...SSH, Telnet, ect...   which do I pick?
[16:51] <Somethief> smartguyz then just use partition editor to destroy winxp partition
[16:51] <Hodapp> MOUD: hmm. I have 9800 GT, I should probably make a note of this
[16:51] <MOUD> I found a list on a forum but I don''t have the ling
[16:51] <Somethief> and convert it to etx3
[16:51] <DefineByte> How do you change the default CPU governor from the command-line? I know you'd use gconf-editor under gnome but I'm not running X.
[16:51] <MOUD> Hodapp: what version r u using now?
[16:51] <Hodapp> MOUD: 177
[16:51] <kafaen> is there any light weight email apps that work great?
[16:51] <Hodapp> MOUD: but I want to get a version that supports CUDA 2.0
[16:51] <thomas__> !samba
[16:51] <MOUD> is it giving you any glitch?
[16:51] <Hodapp> MOUD: I've only had it a matter of hours but I don't think so
[16:51] <jrib> william: iirc, that guide creates a new user who can only run the backup command, so that key would only allow the hacker to create more backups for me
[16:52] <A[D]minS> how i can delete line contain a word from file....ex: i want to delete all lines which contain a word "test" from a file
[16:52] <presdec> anyone on here have an epson printer working on i686?
[16:52] <MOUD> Hodapp: I see, well, I can't help you with that, I'm sorry
[16:52] <smartguyz> how do I wipe out the partision in ubuntu....
[16:52] <Hodapp> MOUD: what what?
[16:52] <smartguyz> ???
[16:52] <Hodapp> MOUD: with what*
[16:52] <Somethief> smartguyz find partition editor in your administration menu
[16:52] <thomas__> A[D]minS: You might want to ask about that in #vim  :)
[16:52] <MOUD> Hodapp: with making the 180.xx driver to recognize you card
[16:53] <A[D]minS> thomas__ thx
[16:53] <Hodapp> MOUD: That's not what I care about. I just want CUDA 2.0
[16:53] <yoolao> sed '/test/d' test.txt
[16:53] <william> jrib, yes but if they know your non passphrase protected private key they can access your remote computer (the one you are backing up)
[16:54] <maverick> join /bash
[16:54] <valros> why wont brasero burn this cue file, the only image type it allows me too select is iso and that gives an error
[16:54] <jrib> william: right, but they can only run the backup command :/
[16:54] <maverick> A[D]minS: or in #bash
[16:54] <opera> sudo si what command
[16:55] <lasivian> does anyone know if there is an easy way to setup the madwifi drivers in 8.10?
[16:55] <opera> sudo is what command--download?
[16:55] <jrib> william: I don't know how to do what you ask though.  I guess you would have to run ssh-agent for the user?
[16:55] <chris78v> can someone help me set up my wi-fi?
[16:55] <william> jrib, no, the configuration limiting the user to only run the backup command is on the backup server... not the server being backed up
[16:55] <presdec> kanenas ellinas? sry for greek
[16:55] <A[D]minS> maverick using vim  ":g/test/d"
[16:55] <valros> sudo stands for superuser do, it runs the command as root
[16:55] <A[D]minS> i got the answer :)
[16:55] <saera> opera, sudo apt-get to down load stuff or wget to get a web page
[16:56] <valros> doesnt wget work with any file accessible?
[16:56] <MOUD> Hodapp: I just found this link, I hope it helps:  http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?s=88978281626dda6959d24064926e930a&showtopic=85855
[16:56] <opera> apt-get is what command?
[16:56] <jrib> william: yes, but you wouldn't allow the backup user to ssh to the server being backed up at all
[16:56] <valros> aptitude package manager, apt-get install [package name]
[16:57] <smartguyz> do not see partision editor in the menu, system, administration....?
[16:57] <MOUD> Hodapp: or you can try this forum exclusively for CUDA on Linux:  http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showforum=68
[16:57] <valros> or apt-get remove [package name]
[16:57] <saera> opera, what do you want to do?
[16:57] <william> jrib, then how would he backup?
[16:57] <valros> smartguyz, sudo apt-get isntall gparted

[16:59] <william> jrib, thank you for your help. I think I will just bite the bullet right not and use passphrase free ssh

[17:01] <ameed> Hello All , am using Ubuntu and suddenly the PC freezes and am unable to do anything - i noticed that the keyboard keeps blinking when it freezes
[17:01] <gizmo> i need help in eggdrop of my terminal in ubuntu?
[17:01] <smartguyz> thank you....
[17:02] <ameed> Anyone Can help?
[17:02] <william> jrib, oh yes. You are quite right. Thank you. I think I will do what that guide suggests but I will do it with the root user (I need to preserve file permissions)
[17:03] <jrib> william: I was wrong before, it uses the root user it seems
[17:03] <saera> ok in a terminal opera if you say go get me that application please the terminal will refuse to do it so you have to say sudo before it (hence thats why you must type sudo apt-get) if you wish to install a package you must type install after sudo apt-get (so it would look like this      sudo apt-get install   ) you must also know the package name so to install firefox 3 say sudo apt-get install firefox
[17:03] <thomas__> !samba
[17:03] <smartguyz> Somethief thank you....
[17:03] <presdec> ameed, does it do so while ur not using it? i.e during screensaver mode?
[17:03] <Somethief> yw
[17:03] <saera> opera, is that useful?
[17:04] <ameed> sometimes when am not using it and sometimes when am using it
[17:04] <ameed> presdec: mostly when am not using it
[17:04] <jtaji> extor: those are not errors, they are in your access log... there's nothing you can do about web browsers requesting favicon.ico and it wouldn't help anything using an empty file
[17:05] <william> jrib, yes it logs in as root on the target server that it is backing up. but it backs up as a local 'backup' user... so as far as I can tell it does not preserver file ownership. The only way do to that would be to actually backup as root too
[17:05] <jrib> william: oh, I see
[17:05] <_Ben> royk, u still about/
[17:05] <presdec> ameed: if it happens while ur using it check ur processor temperature that's the most common reason for a frozen pc like that. It could also be a known opengl problem with ur screensaver. check both
[17:05] <phrostbite> Where can I go to get more themes for ubuntu?
[17:06] <saera> !ununtu

[17:06] <DefineByte> anyone know how to make the powersave governor the default?
[17:06] <jtaji> william: I do that at work and do use root for the backup.... however you could use sudo with an appropriate entry in sudoers
[17:06] <presdec> phrostbite: get the art program, lets u browse themes etc. check synaptic 4 it
[17:06] <opera> saera,YES, VERY useful,i  have copy what you said into my note

[17:08] <smartguyz> from 13 gig to 60???
[17:09] <saera> lukasz__, press the up arrow
[17:09] <Somethief> smartguyz i would instead format the second one and mount it as /home/ orso
[17:09] <steve3000> Anyone run into grub not detecting their WindowsXP partitions? fdisk shows they're still there but grub doesn't seem to recognize them...

[17:09] <lukasz__> I need to do that in sudo terminal
[17:09] <gizmo> anyone know how to wget eggdrop using terminal?

[17:11] <steve3000> hd(1,0)
[17:11] <saera> phrostbite, www.google.com   have you attempted to use that?
[17:11] <Somethief> its another physical disk?
[17:11] <angelo> opnsuse

[17:12] <bkillerBR> is there any chat room for having OpenOffice 3 in Hardy?
[17:12] <Somethief> steve3000 sudo gparted
[17:12] <smartguyz> would like to exspand the ubuntu patition...
[17:12] <Somethief> steve3000 and check whats in your first hd
[17:12] <ameed> presdec: how can i trouble shoot both cases any tools i can use?
[17:12] <phrostbite> I used google to get to gnome-look and it has so many different types of themes do they all work for ubuntu?
[17:12] <steve3000> Somethief: will have to install it... thanks...
[17:13] <presdec> phrostbite: missed ur msg, check the add remove programs for Art manager, it downloads the themes and lets u browse them and also lets u click install them :)
[17:13] <asiatico66> ciao a tutti!!
[17:13] <phrostbite> ok sweet thank you
[17:13] <phrostbite> Do you have any themes you recommend?
[17:13] <Stormx2> phrostbite: xine doesn't have a GUI, it's a backend.
[17:13] <Somethief> steve3000 its probably either not flagged as bootable or has some manifacturer files in the first partition, in that case you could also try increasing the second number like hd(0,1) until you find bootable partition
[17:13] <Stormx2> I think..

[17:16] <saera> Stormx2, true im not a carp so should behave

[17:17] <phrostbite> I downloaded art manager and I am not seeing it anywhere in the applications list. Did I miss something?
[17:17] <saera> Stormx2, it was an attempt at a joke, sorry
[17:17] <Lukasz> phrostbite, Did you try to start it from the console?
[17:18] <phrostbite> I was not aware I could do that. I used the archive download thing and figured it would put something in the applications so its easy to start it.
[17:19] <dirkheine> I installed Ubuntu 8.10 at my HP mini-note, I completed the ubuntu wiki and all works fine, except for one thing, I can't set the resolution while, according to the Howto I should.

[17:22] <mas2> If my ubuntu system for some reason hangs/crashes what keyboard combonation do I use to see my task and kill the process. Like ctrl+alt+del in windows.
[17:22] <Lukasz> opera, Another, most recent mode of 2d acceleration for the X, enhances something in LibGL
[17:22] <ChrisBookwood> My ad-hoc goes down about a minut from start up. If I look in iwconfig, my wifi card has ssid 'CBnet', and when it is down, it has none set. Any ideas to what is deleting the ssid?
[17:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Lukasz, Feel free to walk him through but wont that kill 3d dames
[17:23] <Lukasz> opera, What exactly is your problem with?
[17:23] <dirkheine> according to xrandr my screen is called 'Screen 0, but I can't use it in a command, because of the space in it
[17:23] <FireFox||> mas2 : ctrl+alt + (<---) key twice
[17:23] <mas2> FireFox||: thanks!
[17:24] <mas2> FireFox||: didn't work tho
[17:24] <FireFox||> not the p^lus key
[17:24] <Lukasz> mas2, It's quite different than in Windows on Ubuntu.
[17:24] <FireFox||> it's the key to remove the letter last typed
[17:24] <opera> LUKSZ,vedio is bad quality
[17:25] <FireFox||> ctrl+alt+backspace and pres the backspace twive
[17:25] <Somethief> FireFox|| it's also called backspace, just btw :P
[17:25] <FireFox||> Thanks Somethief I lost the word in my head:d
[17:25] <dirkheine> how can I write spaces in a name needed for a console command?
[17:25] <Somethief> haha yw ^^
[17:25] <Lukasz> mas2, I would reccomend you to type "ctrl+alt+F1" which will get you to the full terminal mode where you can check any process or, when needed kill it
[17:26] <FireFox||> Lukasz: also tell how to get back in X :)
[17:26] <Somethief> dirkheine put it in quotes
[17:26] <bkillerBR> is it possible to increase resolution in terminal screen mode?
[17:26] <unop> dirkheine,  command  "argument with spaces"
[17:26] <dirkheine> ok, thanks
[17:26] <mas2> FireFox||: that did work =) but it reloaded my hole system. If I was doing something that would not be saved. If there was an application that caused the crash it would be better to just kill that process.
[17:26] <Lukasz> opera, Can you please explain me more clearly your issue?
[17:26] <[biabia]> recent upgrade prompted me with a choice whether to accept their suggested changes to menu.lst or not. i modified it previously to password protect. will their suggested changes remove my lock?
[17:27] <FireFox||> mas2 an other way is to open a console, type xkill and klick on the window you want to shutdown
[17:27] <Lukasz> FireFox||, The X session you find under "F7" usually.
[17:27] <Jack_Sparrow> FireFox||, whtat about tab complete for spaces in commands
[17:27] <vigo> This might help: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/
[17:27] <Jack_Sparrow> FireFox||, filenames etc.. it is quite helpful
[17:28] <dirkheine> here Screen 0 is my output, right? http://www.pastebin.be/15971
[17:28] <smartguyz> how do I setup multiple monitors
[17:28] <opera> Lukasz, can't play movie smoothly, say often stop several seconds
[17:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !dualhead
[17:28] <FireFox||> Jack_Sparrow: I wouldn't have a clue , I'm quite a beginner my self, so I do not really get what your talking about
[17:28] <smartguyz> does Ubuntu recognize extended monitors
[17:28] <Lukasz> mas2, Right, but wouldn't it kill only a program instance communicating with the X. i'm not sure if the process itself would get killed too
[17:28] <dirkheine> yes
[17:28] <opera> I am using a open source driver downloaded from office website
[17:28] <mas2> Lukasz: how do i return to to X after I went into the full terminal?
[17:29] <smartguyz> I see the same screen
[17:29] <Somethief> smartguyz it does, just plug one in and press the external screen button in your keyboard (if on laptop)
[17:29] <smartguyz> need 2 independent screens
[17:29] <mas2> FireFox||: thanks
[17:29] <Lukasz> mas2, Typing "ctrl+alt+F7"
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> FireFox||, In a terminal and you are trying to get to a folder etc with a space in the name you can type the first few letter and hit tab
[17:29] <mas2> Lukasz: thanks
[17:29] <Somethief> open screen resolution in your administration menu
[17:29] <dirkheine> check the howto you got by !dualhead, smartguyz
[17:30] <Lukasz> mas2, You could read a bit about the process managment in linux through console, it's really handy and useful
[17:30] <MOUD> Is it possible to have a RSS feed on the right side of my desktop?
[17:30] <Lukasz> !process
[17:30] <bkillerBR> Somethief, I don't mean the graphical interface
[17:30] <FireFox||> ah Yes indeed Jack_Sparrow I knew that, why are you tleling?
[17:30] <vigo> Is Tux any good?
[17:31] <Lukasz> vigo, Of course :D
[17:31] <_Ben> guys im loosing my mind here! ubuntu is refusing to load my network driver :( it says every time i boot up it says "this (blahblahblah) is not an 8139C+ compatible chip."  and "try the "8139too" driver instead "

[17:35] <savman> do you know how to fix it?
[17:35] <smartguyz> Ubuntu will not let me extend monitors...?
[17:35] <Somethief> savman is it an error issued by the screen or some warning by X server?
[17:35] <Jack_Sparrow> savman, I had to run it with a command line modifier to give it res. I found that answer on their wiki
[17:35] <TheFunkbomb> I'm sorry.  I'm back
[17:36] <smartguyz> I placed them side by side....
[17:36] <savman> by the screen
[17:36] <Somethief> smartguyz use that screen resulution thingy
[17:36] <bkillerBR> _Ben try googling with ndiswrapper
[17:36] <savman> because me screen goes black
[17:36] <Jack_Sparrow> smartguyz, yes it will.. see also twinview and xinerama
[17:36] <bkillerBR> _Ben, ndiswrapper + your NIC
[17:36] <_Ben> ndiswrapper? what is that?
[17:36] <lasivian> is there such a thing as an ubuntu-friendly smartphone yet?
[17:36] <TheFunkbomb> New question.  How can I get the headphone ports to work with ubuntu?
[17:36] <dirkheine> xrandr gave this output: http://www.pastebin.be/15971 so I used "Screen 0" as output screen, but it responded "output not found"
[17:37] <Lukasz> opera, can you pastebin the output of " sudo grep \(EE\)  /var/log/Xorg.0.log" please ?
[17:37] <smartguyz>  twinview and xinerama...?

[17:38] <opera> oK LUKASZ, I am a new starter on ubuntu, still lots of things to learn. anyway, thanks for your help.
[17:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !pm > dustrial

[17:39] <Lukasz> opera, It's fine, I'm a beginner too.
[17:39] <dustrial> Jack_Sparrow:  how to check if my Ubuntu also soupports ePCI-cards?
[17:39] <TheFunkbomb> yes, I have 8.10

[17:40] <Jack_Sparrow> !it
[17:40] <dios2> i loves ubuntu
[17:40] <william> and use the command line instead
[17:40] <aeonoris> savman, try fiddling with the resolution.  Also, haven't like five people answered you now?
[17:40] <_Ben> lukasz???
[17:40] <Somethief> TheFunkbomb try lspci | grep Audio
[17:40] <Guest50403> I've recently installed Ubuntu and it seems to have created an extended partition - is there any way I can convert this partition to a primary partition whilst keeping the installed system?
[17:40] <TheFunkbomb> okay
[17:41] <opera> i love ubuntu too
[17:41] <Lukasz> _Ben, Briefly, Ndiswrapper is a windows network driver, suited to work on Ubuntu
[17:41] <grobda24> Can someone see if this article turns up in a search ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mobile%20Broadband%20Internet%20USB%20Adapters
[17:41] <TheFunkbomb> can I post two lines of reports here or should I use pastebin?
[17:41] <Somethief> TheFunkbomb you can pm em
[17:41] <Lukasz> grobda24, Wait
[17:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest50403, there is limit of 4 physical partitions which is why there are extedned to hold logical partitions
[17:42] <Guest50403> Lukazs: Actually, as the name suggests, it is a _wrapper_ that allows Windows network drivers to be used on Linux.
[17:42] <bkillerBR> just found out about the term text mode
[17:42] <_Ben> ok. i'll look into it. I know that my lan card does work with 8139too as it was absolutely fine in delilinux
[17:42] <bkillerBR> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer
[17:42] <Jack_Sparrow> TheFunkbomb, two short lines no wrapping
[17:42] <Guest50403> Jack_Sparrow: My system has only two partitions.
[17:42] <bkillerBR> thanks guys
[17:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest50403, why is this an issue?
[17:42] <joejc_> where does firefox save the bookmarks to?
[17:42] <dustrial> Jack_Sparrow: so why is my W-LAN (PCIe) card not presented in $lspci output?
[17:42] <Guest50403> Jack_Sparrow: sda -> sda1 (swap), sda2 (extended) -> sda5 (install)
[17:43] <d0netsFN> hey is there a good open source burning app for burning wmv's to dvd?
[17:43] <Guest50403> Jack_Sparrow: It's just non-ideal - I'd rather not have extended partitions at all.
[17:43] <kbrosnan> joejc_: ~/.mozilla/firefox/.../places.sqlite
[17:43] <mobarmeg> #linuxac
[17:43] <jtaji> d0netsFN: devede
[17:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest50403, I would suggest a fresh install, manually partition, create two ext3 and one swap and reinstall, it is a much better setup all the way around
[17:44] <Guest50403> Jack_Sparrow: That was my backup plan in case there was no solution.
[17:45] <Lukasz> grobda24, It seems still not to
[17:45] <Guest50403> I'll probably start again with one / and one /home partition.
[17:45] <Guest50403> (and swap of course)
[17:45] <Guest50403> Shame there's no solution, but thanks anyway :)
[17:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest50403, YOu can move everything over, but if this is a fresh install..  backup /var/cache/apt/archives.. that is where all of those downloaded updated went.. it will cut your install time way down.
[17:46] <Guest50403> Jack_Sparrow: cheers
[17:46] <grobda24> Lukasz, odd isn't it ?
[17:46] <Jack_Sparrow> cheers
[17:46] <d0netsFN> thanks jtaji im installing now
[17:47] <dustrial> any-help pls: $lspci doesnt show my PCIe-card ... so how to see if it is there?
[17:47] <Jack_Sparrow> dustrial, give more info with your question.. like make model and chipset of the card.
[17:49] <dustrial> Jack_Sparrow:  $lspci should yield: Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[17:49] <mordof> ok.. so i hit something, and accidentally made firefox go fullscreen (not F11 fullscreen.. ) it overlaps my top and bottom bars, and i have no idea how to disable it, is this something with ubuntu or firefox? and does anyone know how to turn it off?

[17:52] <_Ben> guys i've just looked into the ndiswrapper stuff. im pretty sure its going to be of no use. a different linux distro i was playin with used the lan card with the driver 8139too without any issues. ubuntu is trying to load another driver, 8139cp. it loads both that driver AND 8139too. ive tried mucking with rmmod, lsmod, modprobe etc etc and still cannot get anywhere. how can i manually configure ubuntu to not try to load the 8139cp driver at all?
[17:52] <mordof> jtaji: : that's messed up.... but it worked, lol. ty. took pressing it fast like 4 times in a row
[17:52] <Lukasz> mirak, Don't know the exact answer to your question, but, have you ever tried "wajig"? It has a whole bunch of options for managing packages
