[06:33] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[06:33] <cmweb> aha
[06:33] <cwillu> uniball: hmm;  there's a live-expert mode you can boot the live cd in, might be a better approach (setting vesa when it asks there;  there might be something weird that makes this not work how I expect after the livecd has booted otherwise)
[06:33] <Byan> noiesmo: what exactly do you want me to do...
[06:34] <Byan> still failed..
[06:34] <BackPacker> wylde: it's too large to copy and paste. I'll put it somewhere else and give you the URL
[06:34] <Byan> should I just use your config?
[06:34] <wylde> ok
[06:34] <Byan> and take out those lines I don't need?
[06:34] <noiesmo> Byan, one sec I post my full xorg.conf for you
[06:35] <ArwynH> cmweb: if you are on edgy that information is out of date, there is no System -> Administration -> Disks anymore.
[06:35] <Byan> noiesmo: ok..
[06:36] <BackPacker> wylde: having problems reaching my webspace. ISP's FTP server must be on the blink. Do you have an email address I could post it to?
[06:36] <zlack> hey guys - how can i disable my ath0 wireless and keep it disabled each time i reboot? i know i can do ifconfig ath0 down, but somehow it gets up again it seems...
[06:36] <noiesmo> Byan, here it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35712/
[06:36] <BackPacker> wylde: or I could try DCCing it to you
[06:36] <wylde><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:36] <cmweb> im not on edgy i cant use edgy
[06:36] <cmweb> How do i create a symbolic like...
[06:36] <uniball> cwillu: I've tried toggling a few settings, but the result is the same: fails to start.
[06:36] <cmweb> i know i should know this but im not sure on my commands
[06:36] <peerless_> after installing ubuntu, after I reboot, it starts to boot, and then hangs at the screen with the loading bar filling up... what can cause this?
[06:37] <cwillu> uniball try the live-expert boot option on the live cd, and pick vesa from there
[06:37] <noiesmo> byan use mine as a guide the monior section is set up for my monitor please be carefull with HorizSync and Vertrefresh rates
[06:37] <ArwynH> cmweb: ln -s location linkname
[06:37] <TGPO> peerless you need to get it to be verbose
[06:37] <peerless_> how
[06:37] <wylde> backpacker: so just to make sure, in the exports on the 1st machine, i have /home/kevin/music <IP_ADDRESS>/24(ro,and some other stuff) and i have it's ip set to what (perhaps is it <IP_ADDRESS>)? and i get the gateway address from the routers manual, and i set the exports on the 2nd machine to /home/kevin/music <IP_ADDRESS>(ro,sync,no_root_sxpoquash), and it's ip is <IP_ADDRESS>? (same subnet) and what about the other 2 t
[06:37] <wylde> ypes of files that you said I had to modify hosts and somthing else.
[06:37] <noiesmo> Byan, monior/monitor
[06:37] <cwillu> can anybody help uniball?  I'm rapidly coming up to the boundaries of my knowledge :)
[06:37] <BackPacker> wylde: log is winging on its way
[06:37] <wylde> thakns
[06:37] <wylde> thanks
[06:37] <TGPO> peerless_, 'escape' into the bootloader then 'e' to edit
[06:38] <peerless_> when do I press escape
[06:38] <uniball> cwillu: I will
[06:38] <noiesmo> Byan, once you have adjusted the xorg.conf you need to restart X
[06:38] <TGPO> peerless_, after the memory and device detection
[06:38] <BackPacker> wylde: you can set the exports on the 2nd machine to /home/kevin/music, but only if that directory exists on the 2nd machine
[06:38] <peerless_> ok ill try
[06:38] <TGPO> peerless_, WAIT
[06:38] <BackPacker> wylde: /etc/exports on that machine is for defining what *that* machine is exporting
[06:38] <cmweb> is this correct? sudo ln -s /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1
[06:38] <_JECKEL_> well I just found out that my wireless network extends all the way to the front porch across the street
[06:39] <noiesmo> Byan, I dont know if the this sudo nvidia-glx-config enable works but I don't use it
[06:39] <_JECKEL_> I also found out that my friends all have secure networks..which make this late night experiment a crapola
[06:39] <ArwynH> cmweb: yes, but you don't want to do that.
[06:39] <TGPO> peerless_, you want to remove the splash and quite lines from the kernel options
[06:39] <kalm> the /list command  is crazy :D
[06:39] <ArwynH> cmweb: the /dev/hdb1 is a device file, but /media contains mounted directories.
[06:39] <cmweb> ive just dont it. If not then how do i mount it
[06:40] <burepe> I installed drupal with synaptic, but I don't know where it installed to. Anyone know?
[06:40] <dsnyders> Hi all. I cannot read certain directories on one of my drives.  They all are owned as dsnyders:dsnyders, and I am logged in as dsnyders.  They are all drw-rw-rw-
[06:40] <wylde> backpacker: oh
[06:40] <ArwynH> cmweb: is /dev/hdb1 in /etc/fstab
[06:40] <BackPacker> wylde: hold on while I type up what you should have, and I'll pastebin it...
[06:40] <cmweb> no
[06:40] <wylde> thanks
[06:41] <noiesmo> Byan, the other option is pastebin your current xorg.conf and I can adjust it for you
[06:41] <ArwynH> right, do you know what filesystem it contains?
[06:41] <cmweb> ArwynH: was your last post for me?
[06:41] <ArwynH> cmweb: yes, sorry
[06:41] <Byan> noiesmo: seems to be working
[06:42] <cmweb> it has a EXT3 and FAT32
[06:42] <cmweb> its half and half
[06:42] <_JECKEL_> hmmm
[06:42] <Byan> noiesmo: not sure if the fact that it has 6600GT stuff in there is good though.. I have a 7600GT
[06:42] <Byan> but, for now, I am happy
[06:42] <_JECKEL_> ok..well without a doubt I can connect to my comp from my network
[06:42] <noiesmo> Byan, doesnt really matter you could put anything there
[06:42] <Byan> oh
[06:42] <Byan> ok
[06:42] <ArwynH> cmweb: er.. do you know which half is what? eg 1st half ext3, 2nd fat or the other way around?
[06:43] <noiesmo> Byan, well for the discription that is
[06:43] <cmweb> hdb1 is ext3 and hdb2 is Fat3
[06:43] <BackPacker> wylde: I think this is correct: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35714/
[06:43] <cmweb> fat32*
[06:43] <ArwynH> cmweb: and do you want it mounted at every boot?
[06:43] <cmweb> ArwynH: i would like it to bee
[06:43] <wylde> backpacker: do I need to change the ip adresses?
[06:43] <BackPacker> wylde: that configuration lets you share /home/kevin/music on machine 1, and mount it onto /mnt/music on machine 2, with static IPs
[06:44] <BackPacker> wylde: yes, if you're going to use static IPs, you need to set them in the Networking tool on the System menu
[06:44] <ArwynH> cmweb: then we should add it to the fstab.
[06:44] <wylde> and that means i need the gateway thing
[06:44] <cmweb> ArwynH: ok so gksudo gedit /ect/fstab ?
[06:45] <ArwynH> yep
[06:45] <ArwynH> er
[06:45] <ArwynH> cmweb: /etc/fstab
[06:45] <BackPacker> wylde: yes
[06:45] <BackPacker> wylde: so you might want to put off going that route until you find out what it is
[06:45] <ArwynH> cmweb: do you understand the format?
[06:45] <jwise> hello boys, are you feisty now?
[06:45] <wylde> backpacker: ah
[06:46] <cmweb> ArwynH, ij just do as it is above
[06:46] <wylde> backpacker: good idea
[06:46] <BackPacker> wylde: I'd say so :-)
[06:46] <ubun> is there a faster gui SCP client than nautilus? (faster in the sense of when you click on remote folders it moves faster)
[06:46] <wickedly_cool> hey could i possibly get some help with a dual monitor setup?
[06:46] <BackPacker> wylde: oh, I just did! :-)
[06:46] <wylde> lol
[06:46] <_JECKEL_> hey uhm...so how would I know if my ubuntu is configured to allow connections from outside of my network or not? also..how would I find that out about sshd?
[06:46] <BackPacker> wylde: anything else, for now?
[06:46] <Byan> is there something I can install/run to test opengl?
[06:46] <wickedly_cool> goolge about sshd
[06:46] <wickedly_cool> google
[06:47] <_JECKEL_> -.-
[06:47] <ArwynH> cmweb: do that. the options section should be 'default'.
[06:47] <wylde> backpacker: are you a 19 year old college girl, cause that would make my life!
[06:47] <mista> trying to install berly but getting some errors about not apply to download some things
[06:47] <cmweb> I have done the following
[06:47] <cmweb> "/dev/hdb1	/media/hdb1	ext3	defaults	0	0"
[06:47] <wylde> backpacker: but i'm thinking not
[06:47] <wylde> backpacker: darn
[06:47] <BackPacker> wylde: HOW DID YOU KNOW???? no, of course I'm not...
[06:47] <peerless_> ok I tried booting, and i found out it hangs at "Waiting for root file system ... ..."
[06:47] <wickedly_cool> Here is my problem... I have a Gefore fx 5200 with svideo running to a svid switching it to a yellow rca running to a 20
[06:47] <BackPacker> wylde: not even close :-)
[06:47] <wickedly_cool> inch tv
[06:48] <ArwynH> cmweb: the last 0 should be a 2, but that isn't very important
[06:48] <wylde> backpacker: that's ok, no one is perfect
[06:48] <BackPacker> wylde: thanks! :-)
[06:48] <cmweb> why does it need a pass?
[06:48] <uniball> cwillu: it doesn't want to boot "live-expert"
[06:48] <BackPacker> wylde: if that's all, I think we're done for now. Catch you on here another time, maybe
[06:48] <cmweb> ArwynH, im mounting my second hard drive here, why does it need a pass?
[06:48] <luismipe> hi
[06:48] <wylde> backpacker: i'll be on here lots, trust me
[06:49] <bimberi> _JECKEL_: 'sudo netstat -plunt' shows you ports being listened on.  Anything other than <IP_ADDRESS>:<port> is external (including <IP_ADDRESS>)
[06:49] <uniball> says "kernel-image not found"
[06:49] <BackPacker> wylde: I look forward to it
[06:49] <wylde> moi aussi
[06:49] <BackPacker> wylde: (now to go and look up "challenge" in my dictionary) :-)
[06:49] <wylde> lol
[06:49] <dsnyders> cmweb, all drives are checked periodicall when they are mounted.
[06:49] <wickedly_cool> Here is my problem... I have a Gefore fx 5200 with svideo running to a svid switching it to a yellow rca running to a 20 inch tv, i have xorg.conf configured and everything but i am having trouble finding the perfect resoulution... i have the monitor so i can work on the desktop and the tv is next to it so we can watch movies at the same time.
[06:49] <BackPacker> wylde: see you around
[06:49] <wylde> thanks
[06:49] <momal> anyone have any ideas on how i can disable all my usb ports? So people can't come and plug there ipod in and charge it from the computer ?
[06:49] <BackPacker> wylde: you're welcome :-)
[06:49] <ArwynH> cmweb: tbh. I'm not sure, but my system has a pass of 2 and it was st-up automaticaly. So I'm basing it on that. 0 for pass should work fine.
[06:50] <wickedly_cool> disable your usb in your bios
[06:50] <momal> without having to reboot to renable
[06:50] <cmweb> OK i just did sudo mount /dev/hdb1 and it didnt work
[06:50] <wickedly_cool> hit del/f2/f10/f12 when starting computer
[06:50] <ArwynH> cmweb: try creating /media/hdb1 1st.
[06:50] <ArwynH> cmweb: mkdir /media/hdb1
[06:50] <LightShadow> luismipe need help to install grub
[06:50] <wickedly_cool> sudo mount -t fstype /dev/hdb1
[06:51] <luismipe> yeah
[06:51] <cmweb> oh i did a symbolic link
[06:51] <cmweb> let me delete the one i created
[06:51] <ArwynH> cmweb: rm the symbolic link
[06:51] <wickedly_cool> Here is my problem... I have a Gefore fx 5200 with svideo running to a svid switching it to a yellow rca running to a 20 inch tv, i have xorg.conf configured and everything but i am having trouble finding the perfect resoulution... i have the monitor so i can work on the desktop and the tv is next to it so we can watch movies at the same time.
[06:51] <luismipe> said me ligthshadow
[06:51] <wickedly_cool> does anyone know what resoulution might be good
[06:52] <tritium> wickedly_cool: please don't repeat very often
[06:52] <wickedly_cool> join #dualmonitors
[06:52] <wickedly_cool> i just helped like 2 ppl and i asked my q twice
[06:52] <cmweb> shi** i just did sudo rm /dev/hdb1 on accident is it going to kill?
[06:52] <wickedly_cool> i just want to know how to get my dual display working
[06:52] <ArwynH> cmweb: as for the 'pass' I think it refers to the priority with which it is mounted. 0 for proc, 1 for the rootfs, 2 for everything else.
[06:53] <ArwynH> cmweb: er... no, you should be fine.
[06:53] <peerless_> ok I tried booting, and i found out it hangs at "Waiting for root file system ... ..."  what could cause this?
[06:53] <LightShadow> luismipe ask so u can get help
[06:53] <luismipe> i need help for install grub
[06:53] <wickedly_cool> anyone know about dual monitoring?
[06:53] <cmweb> whats the make dir command, MK?
[06:53] <mista> wickedly_cool, i know some i could and try to help
[06:53] <ArwynH> cmweb: it's just removed the link to device.
[06:54] <wickedly_cool> can i message you?
[06:54] <ArwynH> cmweb: mkdir /media/hdb1
[06:54] <mista> sweet
[06:54] <luismipe> how can i install the grub
[06:54] <_JECKEL_> lol
[06:54] <ski-worklap> hmm
[06:54] <_JECKEL_> did ssh connection from the host computer to the host computer
[06:54] <aksuvari> luismipe,  sudo aptitude install grub
[06:54] <cmweb> ArwynH: Thanks its mounted now
[06:54] <luismipe> ok
[06:54] <ski-worklap> my ubuntu machine seems tohang for about 3-5 minutes before becoming usable again after the fscks in the boot sequence... anyone know why this might be the case, what might be going on here
[06:54] <ski-worklap> ?
[06:55] <ArwynH> cmweb: good. should mount automaticly on boot aswel.
[06:55] <luismipe> but i dont have ubuntu now
[06:55] <luismipe> only the partition
[06:55] <peerless_> how can I check my GRUB settings from a live cd
[06:55] <luismipe> i use windows now
[06:55] <wickedly_cool> i use windows at my work so much i have to use ubuntu here
[06:56] <luismipe> yeah
[06:56] <arrenlex> peerless_: "sudo mkdir /target && sudo mount /dev/<root> /target && cat /target/boot/grub/menu.lst" where <root> is the partition on which Ubuntu is installed.
[06:56] <luismipe> but i dont have acces at ubuntu now
[06:57] <luismipe> arrenlex, what can i do?
[06:57] <TGPO> peerless_, had you not bailed out so quick you would have seen the rest of what I was trying to tell you
[06:57] <cmweb> It wouldent be safe to add myself to the root "club" Would it?
[06:57] <LightShadow> luismipe do u have livecd?
[06:57] <peerless_> ah damn
[06:57] <peerless_> what were you trying to tell me
[06:57] <arrenlex> luismipe: ...?
[06:57] <luismipe> no
[06:57] <damageDOn1> Can anyone tell me what the 4th column displays when you use ls -al?
[06:57] <TGPO> peerless_, after you escape into the loader you can edit it by hitting 'e'
[06:58] <peerless_> yeah i did that,
[06:58] <peerless_> but it just left me at a GRUB> prompt
[06:58] <TGPO> peerless_, ok that will give you your whole grub entry to look at
[06:58] <Bakefy> Can anyone help me figure out how to get quadroforic sound... not just stereo?
[06:58] <cmweb> Who knows the member command?
[06:59] <luismipe> i need install grub for in at ubuntu men
[06:59] <peerless_> where can I find commands to use at the GRUB prompt
[06:59] <TGPO> peerless_, if you remove the quite and splash lines from the kernel options you can see all the little odd bits as they flash by
[06:59] <Bakefy> Is there a setting I can just change in the computer that tells the sound card I have four speakers
[06:59] <justin_> What is the sweetspot in VH/sync for 75mhz or even 72hz refresh?
[06:59] <ArwynH> cmweb: root club?
[06:59] <peerless_> ok, then I can see where it hangs
[06:59] <cmweb> Perferably
[06:59] <TGPO> peerless_, that will let you pin in exactly where its hanging
[06:59] <peerless_> yeah
[06:59] <borg> !dual
[06:59] <peerless_> what do I type once im at the GRUB prompt thing
[06:59] <cmweb> ArwynH: perferably
[06:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dual - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:59] <dabaR> damageDOn1: group that owns the file.
[06:59] <borg> !dualhead
[06:59] <ubotu> Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead
[07:00] <ArwynH> cmweb: if you mean to the root  group there is usually no point.
[07:00] <ArwynH> cmweb: what did you want it for?
[07:00] <TGPO> peerless_, to edit it? e then select the line you want and hit enter
[07:00] <peerless_> uh
[07:00] <damageDOn1> dabaR: cheers...
[07:00] <peerless_> after I hit e, it just shows GRUB> and thats it
[07:00] <cmweb> ArwynH: i have no wright access on the hard disk
[07:00] <peerless_> kinda like a c: prompt in windows
[07:00] <peerless_> where I can type stuff
[07:00] <dabaR> !fixres > justin_
[07:00] <luismipe> i need help for install grub but not in ubuntu
[07:00] <ArwynH> cmweb: aah. I rememeber that problem
[07:01] <ismail> hi all
[07:01] <cmweb> ArwynH: then you must also remember the solution, Right?
[07:01] <BluR> can anyone link me to a tutorial on setting up spamassassin
[07:01] <zlack> hey guys - how can i disable my ath0 wireless and keep it disabled each time i reboot? i know i can do ifconfig ath0 down, but somehow it gets up again it seems...
[07:01] <ArwynH> cmweb: in fstab, add user=username,group=groupname to the options section
[07:01] <TGPO> peerless_, once you hit e and then select the line you want to edit you will be at a command promt, worse comes to worse, read the instructions at the bottom of the screen
[07:01] <Bakefy> can anyone help me configure my sound?
[07:01] <cmweb> ArwynH: k
[07:01] <peerless_> na man, once I hit e..nothing shows up but a grub command prompt type thing
[07:01] <peerless_> no text
[07:02] <dabaR> BluR: google can likely do that.
[07:02] <luismipe> i understand
[07:02] <BluR> I can't find a decent one, very surprisingly, dabar
[07:02] <dabaR> zlack: does cat /etc/network/interfaces | grep ath0 show output?
[07:02] <luismipe> i speak spanish and no
[07:02] <TGPO> peerless_, you have to use the arrow keys to select the line you want to edit and then hit enter
[07:02] <cmweb> ArwynH: what would be the group name?
[07:02] <ArwynH> cmweb: then unmount, remount and it should mount them under your username. This is usualy only needed for fat32.
[07:02] <wickedly_cool> does anyone happen to know a good resolution config for dual monitors?
[07:02] <peerless_> i dont see any lines though
[07:02] <ArwynH> cmweb: in a default install it's the same as your username
[07:02] <protocol2> is there a reason why I am not getting any sound...I am plugged in correctly and yeah my sound card is detected...voluyme settings are ok?
[07:03] <peerless_> its just a black screen with the word GRUB > on it
[07:03] <ArwynH> cmweb: or 'users' will be good enough.
[07:03] <protocol2> I think it stopped after trying out democracy TV
[07:03] <dabaR> wickedly_cool: you looked at the wiki?
[07:03] <zlack> dabaR: yes it does, and i commented it all out - but somehow it still adds a gateway for that interface
[07:03] <luismipe> no
[07:03] <protocol2> can anyonje please help?
[07:03] <tritium> !sound > protocol2
[07:03] <luismipe> i dont have grub
[07:03] <grndslm> protocol2:  have you restarted, or is it still acting up?
[07:03] <TGPO> peerless_, hang tight, let me reboot real quick and look at mine
[07:03] <luismipe> and in at windows and not in at ubuntu
[07:03] <protocol2> yeah did that
[07:03] <dabaR> zlack: show me the interfaces file on paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[07:04] <peerless_> ok
[07:04] <luismipe> peerless_, what i do now?
[07:04] <dabaR> protocol2: likely some sound is muted, double click the sound icon in the top right and check
[07:04] <cmweb> ArwynH: whats the command, i cant use unmount /dev/hdb1 since the link got blown away
[07:04] <zlack> dabaR: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35716/
[07:05] <ArwynH> cmweb: hehe. umount /media/hdb1 will work
[07:05] <protocol2> no
[07:05] <protocol2> I can hear through my mic when I unmute it
[07:05] <dabaR> zlack: you sure you did not add ifconfig ath0 up to any startup script like /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh?
[07:05] <protocol2> but no sound for some reason?
[07:06] <_JECKEL_> hmmm
[07:06] <zlack> dabaR: 100% sure
[07:06] <_JECKEL_> what exactly is the init.d?
[07:06] <TGPO> peerless_, I found your problem
[07:06] <peerless_> yeah?
[07:06] <dabaR> protocol2: run lsof /dev/dsp
[07:06] <TGPO> peerless_, hit 'e' NOT 'c' .. c drops you to command line you want to e to edit
[07:06] <ArwynH> cmweb: i seem to have mixed up my options. it's uid=username,gid=groupname
[07:06] <zlack> dabaR: it seems that every now and then my ath0 if ifconfig up'ed - which is quite frustrating
[07:06] <peerless_> heh, Im almost positve I hit e
[07:07] <peerless_> but ill try again
[07:07] <peerless_> brb
[07:07] <protocol2> dabaR, in console?
[07:07] <cmweb> ArwynH http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35718/
[07:08] <dabaR> protocol2: in a terminal of some sort, ya
[07:08] <protocol2> then what?
[07:08] <dabaR> protocol2: does it give any output?
[07:08] <luismipe> dabaR, i need help
[07:08] <protocol2> no
[07:08] <dabaR> luismipe: ya, you want to install grub, but you are not in ubuntu?
[07:08] <luismipe> yeah
[07:08] <protocol2> I typed lsof /dev/dsp
[07:08] <dabaR> protocol2: show me output of amixer on paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[07:09] <dsnyders> Hi all. I cannot read certain directories on one of my drives.  They all are owned as dsnyders:dsnyders, and I am logged in as dsnyders.  They are all drw-rw-rw-  What's wrong?
[07:09] <zlack> dabaR: is there a daemon which checks and ups the interfaces if they are down?
[07:09] <luismipe> what i do?
[07:09] <protocol2> dabaR, how do I do that...get the output?
[07:09] <noiesmo> dsnyders, no execute
[07:09] <cmweb> ArwynH, unmount does not work
[07:09] <dabaR> luismipe: it is impossible to install it from windows. You will need a live CD. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows shows more info.
[07:09] <dabaR> protocol2: run it in a terminal
[07:09] <ArwynH> cmweb: there is a way to return a broken device node, but unfortunately I can't remember it. Rebooting should return it for you.
[07:10] <ArwynH> cmweb: wait.
[07:10] <luismipe> dabaR, ok
[07:10] <dabaR> zlack: ya, networking, but I thought it only looks in the interfaces file.
[07:10] <dsnyders> noiesmo, Everything was fine in dapper, why is execute necessary in edgy?
[07:10] <noiesmo> dsnyders,  should be drwxr-x-r-x
[07:10] <luismipe> thanks
[07:10] <ArwynH> cmweb: 1 sec. I've remembered something.
[07:10] <dabaR> luismipe: good luck, you are welcome.
[07:10] <cmweb> k
[07:10] <zlack> dabaR: :(
[07:10] <noiesmo> dsnyders, not sure I just know all mine are
[07:11] <dabaR> protocol2: run amixer in a terminal, then copy and paste the text it spits out onto the pastebin site.
[07:11] <protocol2> dabaR, done
[07:12] <protocol2> dabaR, take a look at it...thx
[07:12] <cmweb> ArwynH, ok so after iv's reboot i do "sudo unmount /media/hdb1" then "sudo mount /dev/hda1" ?
[07:12] <dabaR> protocol2: show me the URL, please.
[07:12] <ArwynH> cmweb: after a reboot it should have mounted it.
[07:12] <protocol2> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35719/
[07:13] <cmweb> well only one way to find out
[07:13] <ArwynH> cmweb: on some systems /dev/hd* are just links as well, but not on ubuntu it seems. rebooting should fix the /dev problem though.
[07:15] <RodimusPrime> does azureus work ?
[07:15] <Bakefy> anyone here using google earth?
[07:15] <FANTASMA> hi
[07:15] <RodimusPrime> on amd64 ?
[07:15] <ArwynH> Bakefy: not atm, but i have used it.
[07:15] <FANTASMA> help..... there is an italian help channel ?
[07:15] <Bakefy> my video card displays it very slowly
[07:15] <dabaR> protocol2: looks fine. GO through the process ubotu sent you a message about.
[07:16] <dabaR> !it > FANTASMA
[07:16] <ArwynH> Bakefy: what is your video card?
[07:16] <Bakefy> ArwynH, do you have any ideas... it says that if I get out of opengl mode it will run faster
[07:16] <Bakefy> its crappy
[07:16] <mista> wht does this mean? The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[07:16] <mista>   xserver-xgl: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4-1) but 2.3.6-0ubuntu20 is to be installed
[07:16] <mista> E: Broken packages
[07:16] <peerless_> TGPO, okay it scrolled for a while and then said Done.  and then Begin: Waiting for root file system... ...
[07:16] <Bakefy> nvidia geforce 400
[07:16] <Bakefy> 32 MB
[07:16] <peerless_> and just sat there
[07:17] <FANTASMA> thx
[07:17] <FANTASMA> <<<<<
[07:17] <dabaR> mista: it means you have an older version of some package installed than you need. Show your sources.list on a pastebin, please.
[07:17] <ismail> guys how do u enter the bluetooth setup in ubuntu?
[07:17] <Bakefy> ArwynH, my card may be old, but google earth works on windows just fine
[07:17] <mista> so how can i update it!
[07:17] <ArwynH> Bakefy: hmm a it dated, but I'm not sure of the specs of google earth. What drivers are you running?
[07:18] <Lovloss> How come when i try to install ubuntu it says "no file system was specified for SDA1" when SDA1 is marked EXT3?
[07:18] <ArwynH> Bakefy: the defaults?
[07:18] <x-r00t-x> ismail,  apt-get install gnome-bluetooth
[07:18] <dabaR> show your /etc/apt/sources.list in a pastebin
[07:18] <Bakefy> ArwynH, yes... i havent changed anything
[07:18] <ArwynH> Bakefy: then changing drivers will probably help.
[07:18] <mista> um how?
[07:18] <Bakefy> does nvida offer drivers?
[07:18] <ArwynH> Bakefy: i havn't done this myself, but there is a howto. one minute and i'll look up the link.
[07:19] <dabaR> mista: run cat /etc/apt/sources.list in a terminal, and paste the output to paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[07:19] <damageDOn1> Help with permissions please! I've managed to use chown and chgrp on a tar file that I've copied across from an old computer using scp but when I click on the properties of the file it still says root is the owner. Any ideas?
[07:19] <ArwynH> Bakefy: yes. but it's easier to get them through ubuntu, i'll look up the link.
[07:19] <protocol2> dabaR, how do I unmute sounds in alsamixer via console?
[07:19] <dabaR> damageDOn1: sudo chown user:user file is the syntax
[07:19] <ismail> x-r00t-x: then what
[07:19] <dabaR> protocol2: m is the button
[07:19] <protocol2> ok
[07:20] <Lovloss> And why wont this live cd see my internal HD? it only sees my external except in patritioning mode. The internal is ext3 format !
[07:20] <dabaR> protocol2: the little m on the bottom becomes a 0.
[07:20] <damageDOn1> dabaR: That's what I used... well except for the :user bit
[07:20] <mista> sweet http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35727/
[07:20] <Lovloss> I mean the internal is in ext3 format. thats whats odd
[07:20] <dabaR> damageDOn1: and ls -l still shows root as the owner?
[07:20] <ArwynH> Bakefy: what ubuntu version are you running?
[07:20] <ismail> i dont see a menue for editing bluetooth services
[07:20] <mista> found it
[07:21] <Bakefy> the newest
[07:21] <damageDOn1> dabaR: no it shows me as the user and group is correct too.
[07:21] <dabaR> mista: your beryl package is made for edgy, and your system is dapper.
[07:21] <mista> i have something in there for edge and im using drapper
[07:21] <dabaR> mista: right. For help with beryl/xgl, there is often someone on #ubuntu-xgl
[07:21] <dabaR> damageDOn1: then it is fine, maybe nautilus is slow or something, you running ubuntu gnome?
[07:22] <Lovloss> Im on a live cd. I should be able to get into an ext3 internal drive shouldnt i? i dont get it
[07:22] <justin_> Can anyone tell me how I can get a 75hz refresh.... -- It tells me 60HZ or 87hz -- but 87 just kills the monitor
[07:22] <dabaR> !bluetooth | ismail
[07:22] <ubotu> ismail: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[07:22] <damageDOn1> dabaR: yep... should I log out and back in again? or is there a way to restart the desktop?
[07:22] <dabaR> Lovloss: sudo fdisk -l
[07:22] <samiam> how can I add the "burn" option to the right-click menu in nautilus under edgy?
[07:22] <Bakefy> ArwynH: 6.10 Edgy
[07:22] <protocol2> dabaR, why is it I can hear myself over the mic...but cant hear sounds....weird?
[07:22] <dabaR> damageDOn1: killall nautilus should do it.
[07:22] <ArwynH> Bakefy: 6.10? then the following link should help: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Graphics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29
[07:22] <wavefunction> !window manager
[07:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about window manager - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:23] <Lovloss> dabaR - they're listed :D But how do i access them?
[07:23] <Bakefy> ArwynH: do you know how I can get all of my speakers to work too>
[07:23] <dabaR> protocol2: did you check that your apps are using the same mixer that gnome has set up?
[07:23] <dabaR> protocol2: the message ubotu sent you shows how.
[07:23] <wavefunction> In what file do I have the default window manager defined ?
[07:23] <damageDOn1> dabaR: thanks buddy!
[07:23] <peerless_> anyone know what could cause this during booting: said Done.  and then Begin: Waiting for root file system... ...
[07:23] <dabaR> Lovloss: run mount by itself, to see whether they are mounted. if not, mount them...
[07:23] <Lovloss> I tried. mount /dev/hda fails
[07:24] <BHSPitLappy> hey
[07:24] <dabaR> samiam: for .iso files?
[07:24] <Lovloss> dabaR: it says it cant find them in fstab
[07:24] <ArwynH> Bakefy: by all I'm assuming you have more than 2. I've heard it is possible, but I've never tried or heard how to do it. Sorry.
[07:24] <dabaR> Lovloss: that is not how you mount a partition, that would be mounting a drive.
[07:24] <BHSPitLappy> how hard is it to get the slideshow screensaver (or the OpenGL slideshow one) to use /home/xxx/Pictures, for instance?
[07:24] <Lovloss> dabaR: what should i type?
[07:24] <dabaR> Lovloss: plus if they are not in fstab, you have to specify a mount point, a dir to which to mount it.
[07:24] <Lovloss> ohhh right!
[07:24] <dabaR> Lovloss: this depends on the partition name and the mount point you want.
[07:24] <Bakefy> okay, well thanks! I will look it up.  in the mean time!!!  the graphics!
[07:25] <samiam> dabaR: yes for iso's
[07:25] <justin_> Can anyone tell me how I can get a 75hz refresh.... -- It tells me 60HZ or 87hz -- but 87 just kills the monitor
[07:25] <dabaR> wavefunction: .dmrc
[07:25] <samiam> it used to be there, but just realized it has disappeared
[07:25] <dabaR> samiam: for .iso files?
[07:25] <astroboy> ?join #slug
[07:25] <samiam> dabaR: yes for .iso files
[07:26] <dabaR> justin_: what I do is I enter the refresh rates into the conf file manually, and the fixres page ubotu told you about explains that, did you read?
[07:26] <Bakefy> anyone have a bit torrent app they like to use?  bittorrent seems slow to me and it only lets me download one at a time
[07:27] <ismail> is there no gui for bt setup like in kde?
[07:27] <dabaR> Bakefy: gnome-btdownload is what comes default with ubuntu
[07:27] <Bakefy> dabaR: does it let you download more than one?
[07:28] <dabaR> Bakefy: yes.
[07:28] <Bakefy> thanks!
[07:28] <Byan> my sound doesn't work, I suspect it's using the wrong device, seeing as my motherboard as an integrated one
[07:28] <Byan> what do I do?
[07:29] <wavefunction> dabaR: Thanks ! But is there a global way to do this. I mean for every user, a system wide configuration ?
[07:29] <dabaR> samiam: do you see an i on the first column of the nautilus-cd-burner line when you run aptitude search nautilus?
[07:29] <Bakefy> dabaR, wait thats what I have been using
[07:29] <dabaR> wavefunction: I do not know.
[07:29] <Bakefy> it doenst let me downlaod more than one torrent at a time
[07:29] <dabaR> Bakefy: you are then downloading from a site that does not allow it.
[07:29] <Bakefy> it says address already in use
[07:29] <protocol2> dabaR, I am going to get the alsa drivers from a fresh kernel... :)
[07:29] <protocol2> thx for the help though
[07:29] <wavefunction> dabaR: Anyway, thanks for the help ! :)
[07:29] <dabaR> I had that with <insertHere> sites...
[07:30] <samiam> dabaR: yes I do see an "i", I just realize that the file I wanted to burn wasn't a .iso sorry about
[07:30] <sivik> i'm having some issues trying to set up my tvtuner card to work, its hauppauge pvr150
[07:30] <samiam> I guess it only shows if its an iso file
[07:31] <dabaR> samiam: go>cd/dvd creator
[07:31] <Bakefy> dabaR, there has to be a torrent app that looks like utorrent (for windows)
[07:31] <floating_> Hi. What options should I set to a new ext3 partitionI made ? mount point to where ? what about the other options
[07:31] <samiam> dabaR: yep, thanks... I missed this one thanks for the help
[07:32] <ArwynH> Byan: system -> admin -> sounds
[07:32] <ArwynH> Byan: er system -> prefs -> sounds. sorry
[07:32] <necrodrako> i need help with playing a dvd
[07:33] <omoore> ok.. here is an oddity.. i'm running ubuntu.. i mount a usb external drive.. access is is fine.. issuing a du --max-depht=1 -h . returns valid information...
[07:33] <omoore> but.. issuing df -h  shows only 6.9G used when in reality.. more like 47GB is used
[07:33] <dabaR> floating_: usual mount point is /media/hdXY same as the device node hdXY. defaults is a good set of options. "defaults". what do you want to be able to do the partition when you mount it?
[07:34] <necrodrako> can any one help me with playing a dvd
[07:34] <Lovloss> Does anyone think they can walk me through an installation so i dont mess it up this time ? :(
[07:34] <dabaR> necrodrako: read your private message from ubotu
[07:34] <Lovloss> my setup is somewhat complicated
[07:34] <necrodrako> thank you
[07:34] <felixfoertsch> Good morning. Does anyone know why my notebook shows funny coloured lines on pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 for switching to console?
[07:34] <corevette> why can't i see this xhtml file:  why can't i see this: http://micahman.50webs.com/enzon/xhtml.xhtml
[07:34] <felixfoertsch> And simply does not switch INTO the console.
[07:35] <peerless> what irc client do you guys suggest for linux?
Oi*Pc#|h89+f
[07:35] <wavefunction> peerless: irssi
[07:35] <Cyber_Stalker> %*(&#$4
[07:35] <Cyber_Stalker> #()*#$#&$^
[07:35] <corevette> peerless, i use xchat, which i think is pretty solid
[07:35] <Cyber_Stalker> WRAR!
[07:35] <Cyber_Stalker> damit
[07:35] <floating_> dabaR: I formatted a ntfs partition, and it has ntfs options by default. at least I have to change the ntfs to ext3, and mount point. then there is following defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1 ,is that ok to leave?
[07:35] <Cyber_Stalker> this thing irratates me!
[07:35] <peerless> yeah..im using xchat now
[07:35] <peerless> its alright
[07:35] <Cyber_Stalker> ok
[07:35] <Cyber_Stalker> i feel better now
[07:35] <corevette> peerless, are you using the xchat-gnome or the xchat
[07:35] <peerless> xchat-gnome
[07:35] <dabaR> felixfoertsch: perhaps the resolution is wrong, do you see the usplash screen on startup?
[07:36] <corevette> peerless, try xchat regular, i like it better than gnome, i recently switched
[07:36] <peerless> okay, this is my first time using linux
[07:36] <peerless> now sure how to get it
[07:36] <Lovloss> Okay so anywayy... i have an external and internal drive. HDA1 is swap, HDA2 is root, SDA2 is home. SDA1 should mount on /media/sda1  and my other internal, HDB1, should mount on /media/hdb1. Is there anythingw rong with this logic?
[07:36] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: usplash is the "ubuntu" thingy with the loading bar?
[07:36] <dabaR> corevette: what do you mean you can not see it?
[07:36] <peerless> can i just do it through the package manager thing
[07:36] <dabaR> felixfoertsch: yes
[07:36] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: Jep, I do see it. But it has strang colours, too.
[07:36] <felixfoertsch> *strange
[07:37] <felixfoertsch> But X works fine. Set up the resolution to 1680x1050 yesterday - and X works.
[07:37] <corevette> dabar, it doesn't show up as a webpage
[07:37] <dabaR> felixfoertsch: I will find you a link, and you will have to play with setting a different resolution for the usplash.
[07:37] <dabaR> corevette: cause it has a .xhtml extension and your browser displays those as not-web-pages.
[07:38] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: Thanks. Is the console (CTRL+ALT+F1) depending on the usplash settings?
[07:38] <Lovloss> oh, and hd0 is the same as hda right?
[07:38] <corevette> dabaR, i've tried firefox/knoqueror/opera
[07:38] <dabaR> felixfoertsch: well, I am not sure of this whole thing, but I had a similar issue, you can try this./
[07:39] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: Will do. Thanks.
[07:39] <nothlit> FeistyFawn, no, you can increase the resolution of the virtual consoles with vga=xxx...you'll need the proper code for your res/color settings
[07:39] <dabaR> corevette: is this your file?
[07:39] <corevette> dabar yes
[07:39] <nothlit> They both use the framebuffer though
[07:39] <Lovloss> no one can help me? i always emss up installations :'(
[07:40] <dabaR> corevette: rename it to .html
[07:40] <floating_> if I want to change the mount point to like simply /a ,how bad is that ?
[07:40] <corevette> dabar, but i want xhtml
[07:40] <floating_> it would be faster to write in cmd line
[07:40] <floating_> than /media/hda5
[07:40] <dabaR> Lovloss: Lovloss seems like fine logic
[07:41] <LoneShadow> anyone using a livecd on a usb stick drive ?
[07:41] <dabaR> corevette: you want what xhtml? xhtml files have html extensions.
[07:41] <Lovloss> dabaR: and if i allow it to put GRUB on "hd0" thatll probably go to hda2 ownt it (hda1 is swap)
[07:41] <corevette> dabar but some do have the xhtml extension
[07:41] <dabaR> Lovloss: it will go in the master boot record, which is not a partition like hda1 hda2 or anything like that, afaik.
[07:41] <felixfoertsch> Lovloss: Let me give you a suggestion. Just set up those harddrives in the installation process which your really do need. Mount the other ones afterwards.
[07:42] <Lovloss> Thats a good idea. :)
[07:42] <felixfoertsch> ;)
[07:42] <dabaR> corevette: why would you want that extension rather than html? your server likely sends a header to the browser that makes the browser interpret it as xml rather than html...
[07:42] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: Did I miss the link?
[07:42] <dabaR> felixfoertsch: not yet:)
[07:42] <peerless> how do I get my x-chat to show the user list in a channel?
[07:42] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: *puh*
[07:42] <felixfoertsch> :D
[07:43] <felixfoertsch> peerless: XChat or Gnome-Xchat?
[07:43] <peerless> regular XChat
[07:43] <dabaR> felixfoertsch: open /boot/grub/menu.lst for editing
[07:43] <necrodrako> Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because you do not have the appropriate plugins to handle i
[07:43] <necrodrako> what plugin do i need
[07:43] <felixfoertsch> peerless: Just click at the right side of your screen, hold down mouse1 and move it to the left.
[07:43] <felixfoertsch> ;)
[07:43] <Lovloss> Actually, maybe I should put my /home on another partition of the internal... and use the external as data
[07:44] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: Done.
[07:44] <peerless> felixfoertsch, doh.
[07:44] <dabaR> necrodrako: try totem-xine
[07:44] <Darksair> corevette verify you page @ w3.org
[07:44] <Darksair> corevette: verify you page @ w3.org
[07:44] <felixfoertsch> peerless: Worked? ^^
[07:44] <peerless> how about getting it to show @, + at the top of the list
[07:44] <peerless> yes worked
[07:45] <mista> is there a way to add lines of text into a file just from command line
[07:45] <dabaR> felixfoertsch: read the last part, "B. Manual (kernel-specific) GRUB configuration" of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto and add a vga setting, then reboot, see whether that helps any. Try all the settings, starting with the smaller ones. I hope this does not waste your time.
[07:45] <felixfoertsch> Now I did a good deed - so I'm the day off ;D
[07:45] <necrodrako> im unsing totem xine
[07:45] <dabaR> mista: yes. what is the absolute path of the file, and what do you want to add to it?
[07:45] <peerless> felixfoertsch, wait a sec?
[07:46] <peerless> felixfoertsch, how can I see who is @ and +
[07:46] <dabaR> necrodrako: and you installed the dvd packages?
[07:46] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: Well, I surely did not choose linux because I want everything to go fast, but better :)
[07:46] <felixfoertsch> *faster
[07:46] <mista> i dont know just like something like a line into the sources.list file
[07:46] <Darksair> corevette: Commonly, web servers will have a mapping of filename extensions (such as ".html") to MIME  Content-Type values (such as text/html).
[07:47] <nothlit> dabaR, rofl try all the settings?
[07:47] <dabaR> nothlit: there are 4
[07:47] <Cyber_Stalker> i have an issue, i created a launcher on my desktop with "sudo /home/cyber/Desktop/pure-ftpd-1.0.21/src/./pure-ftpd" as the command, but when i double click the launcher it doesnt start the ftpd, what am i doing wrong? or is there another way i should be doing this?
[07:47] <felixfoertsch> peerless: Uh, don't know, don't care. In the freenode channels channel ops just set their permission if they want to change something. They usually don't idle as ops :D
[07:47] <nothlit> felixfoertsch, if you have 1024 use 791 not 792 because 792 doesn't support vesa
[07:47] <dabaR> mista: echo "I add this line" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list is the command you could use. Make sure you have the tee -a, cause just tee will overwrite the file.
[07:47] <necrodrako> which ones
[07:48] <necrodrako> gstreamer stuff?
[07:48] <dabaR> !pureftpd
[07:48] <felixfoertsch> nothlit: Uh? Do I have to be able to follow this? ^^
[07:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pureftpd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:48] <mista> so where abouts do i had in the text?
[07:48] <dabaR> !pure-ftpd
[07:48] <ubotu> pure-ftpd: Pure-FTPd FTP server. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.21-5ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 150 kB, installed size 460 kB
[07:48] <dabaR> Cyber_Stalker: you should install that package.
[07:48] <nothlit> felixfoertsch, no just follow what what number i said if your res is 1024x768
[07:48] <Cyber_Stalker> dabaR, its installe, isnt it?
[07:49] <dabaR> felixfoertsch: yes, after you read the wiki page it should be clear what he said.
[07:49] <nothlit> !ftp
[07:49] <ubotu> FTP clients: gftp, konqueror, kbear, nautilus.  Thx dabaR, thx nothlit!
[07:49] <Darksair> !help
[07:49] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[07:49] <dabaR> Cyber_Stalker: you compiled it from source?
[07:49] <anandanbu> hi the update feature on the FireFox is disabled in my Ubuntu Dapper Drake how do i correct it
[07:49] <Cyber_Stalker> dabaR, yes i did, how will i go about removing it now =D
[07:49] <nothlit> anandanbu, its supposed to be disabled
[07:50] <nothlit> anandanbu, you're supposed to update through ubuntu
[07:50] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: The screen of the notebook is 1680x1050 - it's not listed there. What to do? :D
[07:50] <dabaR> Cyber_Stalker: did you use sudo make install to install?
[07:50] <dabaR> felixfoertsch: like I said, try all of the values.
[07:50] <Cyber_Stalker> afaik yes
[07:50] <anandanbu> is it with the help of synaptic or somethin else
[07:50] <nothlit> I wonder how many people would ask about iceweasel/where firefox went if ubuntu had the same issue as debian
[07:50] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: Oh, okay.
[07:51] <nie> hello
[07:51] <nothlit> felixfoertsch, theres tables that include more resolutions if you google for them
[07:51] <Cyber_Stalker> lol dabaR  i think i did, woudlnt i have to?
[07:51] <nothlit> felixfoertsch, but 1680x1050 isn't something that would be supported, you'll have to go for whatevers closest but still below your res
[07:52] <Cyber_Stalker> dabaR,  if i cd to that dir and type ./pure-ftpd it runs
[07:52] <mista> nice thanks
[07:52] <dabaR> Cyber_Stalker: there is no convenient way that I know of to uninstall it. You should from now on use checkinstall to install software from source, as it creates a .deb package and installs it. That way it is easy to remove. checkinstall is not installed on ubuntu by default but is in the repos.
[07:52] <felixfoertsch> nothlit: Okay.
[07:52] <Darksair> ubotu, ati > me
[07:52] <Cyber_Stalker> ok
[07:52] <Willa> Morning gang.
[07:53] <Willa> How do I get a wireless connection setup? The only connections are *WIRED* and *MODEM*. I swapped my ubuntu HD into a new computer. it used to have a wireless option setup.   The ODD part is the net WAS working for a bit.
[07:53] <dabaR> Cyber_Stalker: if you install pure-ftpd from the repos, it will start at boot, I think.
[07:53] <nothlit> !wireless | Willa
[07:53] <ubotu> Willa: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[07:53] <Cyber_Stalker> i dont want it to start at boot tho :/
[07:54] <nothlit> ubotu is the greatest thing ever
[07:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is the greatest thing ever - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:54] <Cyber_Stalker> i want it when i need it kinda thing :/ i dont awnt it running all the time, altho i know it is secure
[07:54] <Willa> nothlit: will that really help...
[07:54] <nothlit> Willa, it should, I haven't installed ubuntu on any computers with wireless so I couldn't tell you for sure
[07:54] <dabaR>  Cyber_Stalker not sure what to tell you then. what is the error you get with the launcher?
[07:54] <necrodrako> how do i install libdvdcss
[07:55] <Cyber_Stalker> no error
[07:55] <Cyber_Stalker> it doesnt launch

[07:58] <Cyber_Stalker> thanks
[07:58] <Ilovemypuppy> is ubuntu a good choice for a mission critical server?
[07:58] <kleinlappies> ahoy everyone
[07:58] <bernhard> witch repo must i enable to get skype?
[07:59] <tomasz> hey all
[07:59] <kleinlappies> does anyone know of a vob (dvd) to avi or mpeg converter
[07:59] <Joe_CoT> bernhard: multiverse i believe
[07:59] <bernhard> Joe_CoT: thx :)
[07:59] <nothlit> Ilovemypuppy, I would rather install debian stable or openbsd
[07:59] <tomasz> acidrip?
[07:59] <nothlit> !info pure-ftpd
[07:59] <ubotu> pure-ftpd: Pure-FTPd FTP server. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.21-5ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 150 kB, installed size 460 kB
[07:59] <Ilovemypuppy> yeah im having issues with debian stable
[08:00] <dsnyders> How do I list only the directories, like dir /a:d in DOS?
[08:00] <felixfoertsch> dabaR, nothlit: Just found a tutorial for exact this problem - it uses "hwinfo" to get the right code.
[08:00] <nothlit> Cyber_Stalker, you need to enable the extra repos
[08:00] <Joe_CoT> Ilovemypuppy: define mission critical. I use Dapper for all my servers, and I've never had any problems
[08:00] <nothlit> !repos | Cyber_Stalker
[08:00] <ubotu> Cyber_Stalker: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[08:00] <Ilovemypuppy> Joe_CoT, how long have you been using dapper on your servers?
[08:00] <nothlit> felipe, congrats
[08:00] <noiesmo> dsnyders, man ls maybe ls -al /path/to/directory
[08:01] <blaa> !gpg | blaa
[08:01] <ubotu> blaa: gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto
[08:01] <Ilovemypuppy> Joe_CoT, by mission critical i mean not needing constant updates, or at least the updates wont require constant maintenance
[08:01] <CientificoLoco> where do I download news skins for my amsn?
[08:01] <Serial> !gpg | r0cks
[08:01] <ubotu> r0cks: gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto
[08:01] <Joe_CoT> Ilovemypuppy: Since it came out. before that I was using breezy. We use Dapper for all our development work. There's two servers: ubuntu Dapper and freebsd. The Dapper one is far less of a pain
[08:02] <Joe_CoT> Ilovemypuppy: the only real updates are security updates, which you'll want to do. It's true for any linux server.
[08:02] <dsnyders> noiesmo, no, that lists all the files in /path/to/directory, be they files or directories.
[08:02] <Ilovemypuppy> Joe_CoT, thank you :) now lets hope libaa output in mplayer works
[08:02] <Joe_CoT> ilovemypuppy: libaa output? i think i answered your forum question about this
[08:02] <Doow> Anyone know what's up with the major upgrade/renaming of X today?
[08:02] <Ilovemypuppy> Joe_CoT, wasnt me, i havent been posting in any forums
[08:03] <dabaR> felixfoertsch: but it was related to this same thing I linked you to?
[08:03] <Doow> in edgy that is
[08:03] <Catshrimp> Any idea as to why the repository team goes to so much length as to describe how the security team will not audit the universe repository, but then adds dapper-security universe lines to the bottom of the sources.list file? =P
[08:03] <Joe_CoT> ilovemypuppy: ah, ok. yeah, i've had no issues with mplayer on the dapper server, which is good, since it's critical to our cms
[08:03] <noiesmo> dsnyders, you can do like ls /path/directory | grep thisname that will only show files or folders with thisname in it
[08:04] <Ilovemypuppy> Joe_CoT, its critical to me to make sure i can keep an eye on things
[08:04] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: It's about setting the VGA mode, yes. But it does not use the number with three characters, but a combination like 0x0307. The tutorial sas that this is used for Dapper Drake and later Ubuntu versions.
[08:04] <felixfoertsch> *sais
[08:04] <Catshrimp> Though on a less silly tone, anyone know what issues may be causing the respository team from including dnsmasq from the main respository?
[08:04] <felixfoertsch> *says -.-
[08:04] <dabaR> felixfoertsch: cool, thanks for the follow up.
[08:04] <mneptok> Catshrimp: CYA
[08:04] <Ilovemypuppy> i can get mplayer working with aalib output sort of in debian, but I just end up getting the status line and only a frame or two
[08:05] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: Well thanks for your help :D
[08:05] <x-r00t-x> hey guys. is there any way to see command on terminal from remote pc?
[08:05] <Catshrimp> mneptok: huh?
[08:05] <dabaR> felixfoertsch: :D
[08:05] <nothlit> Ilovemypuppy, just make it so updating is automatic? and choose dapper because its LTS, so you won't have to replace/upgrade it as often... should have 5 years for servers i think
[08:05] <bernhard> thx dabaR
[08:05] <mneptok> Catshrimp: that was re: the first question.
[08:05] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: Did I mention how cool the ubuntu community is? ;D
[08:05] <x-r00t-x> i just mean to say spy on remote pc without password
[08:05] <Ilovemypuppy> nothlit, LTS?
[08:05] <dabaR> felixfoertsch: hehe...
[08:05] <Ilovemypuppy> Ubuntu with Long Term Support
[08:05] <Ilovemypuppy> i hope thats a good thing
[08:05] <Catshrimp> mneptok: is CYA supposed to be an acronym that I should know?
[08:06] <Doow> x-r00t-x: yes, there are ways, but I dunno what's the policy on teaching such stuff.. =)
[08:06] <Ilovemypuppy> Catshrimp, its from the military, it means cover your rear end
[08:06] <nothlit> Ilovemypuppy, updates can be logged and whatnot for you to check on
[08:07] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: I added the settings at the "defoptions"; do I have to add them to the kernel line, too?
[08:07] <Catshrimp> Ilovemypuppy: thanks, just google and found out the same :)
[08:07] <Ilovemypuppy> nothlit, this is looking good, a definite improvement from 2 years ago
[08:07] <Catshrimp> mneptok: it was a /somewhat/ valid question ;)
[08:07] <necrodrako> it wont let me install libdvdcss
[08:07] <dsnyders> noisemo, I think I may not have explained what I'm after very well.  I want a command that gives me a list of just the folders within a directory.
[08:07] <Ilovemypuppy> i love my fast access, it takes a couple of minutes to download a whole iso
[08:08] <dabaR> felixfoertsch: well, no, it seems one or the other, but you have to run grub-update or so, follow the wiki to make sure.
[08:08] <Ilovemypuppy> it was only a year or two ago where an iso would take hours
[08:08] <Doow> dsnyders: man ls ^^
[08:08] <Catshrimp> And now it takes minutes :D
[08:08] <Catshrimp> Thank god for broadband!
[08:09] <SchalaBrandford> Im having trouble mounting a hard drive. i tried using the FAQ, but it failed me.  :( ive used sudo mount and the diskmounter script, but got nothin. :?
[08:09] <Catshrimp> In regards to the dnsmasq question, I'm just wondering if it's license oriented or bug oriented
[08:09] <dabaR> Catshrimp: how about... http://ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components
[08:09] <dabaR> Catshrimp: it talks about what goes where.
[08:10] <Catshrimp> dabaR: thanks, I'll give it a lookover :)
[08:10] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: to mount something, you need to know the device node, and the mount point. Do you know those for sure already?
[08:10] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: Hm. Set it to 640x400 (to keep my aspect ratio 16:10). Now the console works fine, but the usplash has stil the old size - how to get the thing smaller? ^^
[08:11] <SchalaBrandford> dabaR: i know its /dev/hdc1/ and /home/schala/desktop/documents
[08:11] <SchalaBrandford> are those what you mean?
[08:11] <felixfoertsch> Well the usplash shows only the upper left quarter ^^
[08:11] <dabaR> shnee: yes, good. And the file system type?
[08:11] <SchalaBrandford> XFS
[08:11] <dabaR> felixfoertsch: hm...should have gotten changed, try adding the vga line to the usplash kernel line :-/
[08:12] <dsnyders> Doow, I can't seem to find anything within man ls.  It doesn't seem to have the capability to list only the directories.
[08:12] <SchalaBrandford> i noticed diskmounter assumed it was NTFS, so i made that change already. im gonna reboot and come back. :)
[08:12] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: Well - can't I just remove it?
[08:12] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: reboot why?
[08:12] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: Don't need it anyway.
[08:12] <dabaR> felixfoertsch: the usplash? then just ignore it...
[08:12] <dabaR> or remove.
[08:12] <SchalaBrandford> Daba: so my fstab can run again? unless theres a better way
[08:13] <felixfoertsch> dabaR: Well, will find a tutorial about that. Don't want to waste any more of your time :) BIG THX!
[08:13] <Doow> dsnyders: hmm.. was sure there was something, you can use "ls -l | grep ^d" though I guess
[08:13] <felixfoertsch> Also to you nothlit! BIG THX.
[08:13] <peerless> just installed ubuntu, do I need to setup my video card drivers? cause resizing windows is laggy right now
[08:13] <nothlit> SchalaBrandford, ubuntuguide.org
[08:13] <Doow> dsnyders: although that might be a bit too verbose
[08:13] <Doow> dsnyders: depending on what you're doing
[08:14] <dsnyders> Doow, the ^d means "starting with d"?
[08:14] <nothlit> peerless, if you want faster resizing probably
[08:14] <Doow> dsnyders: yup
[08:14] <nothlit> !video | peerless
[08:14] <ubotu> peerless: For multimedia codecs see: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html and for applications see this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications
[08:14] <nothlit> oops
[08:14] <nothlit> !graphics
[08:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about graphics - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:14] <SchalaBrandford> Nothlit: ooh, thanks!
[08:14] <necrodrako> why can i install libdvdcss?
[08:15] <dsnyders> Doow, that might work.  Odd that ls doesn't have the capability.  It seems to be able to do everything else.
[08:15] <SchalaBrandford> fark. -.-
[08:15] <Doow> dsnyders: yeah, I was surprised too
[08:15] <Catshrimp> dabaR: very helpful.  much obliged!
[08:15] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: you want to rerun fstab mountings?
[08:15] <nothlit> sudo mount -a
[08:16] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: ya, ^
[08:16] <nothlit> or sudo umount -a ; sudo mount -a     ignore the warnings
[08:16] <SchalaBrandford> Nothlit: i wasnt thanking you sarcastically. i actually found the command.
[08:16] <Doow> dsnyders: ls -F is pretty good to have as default too, makes it easier to see what's directories (maybe that's enabled by default in ubuntu though)
[08:16] <nothlit> SchalaBrandford, oh lol congrats
[08:16] <SchalaBrandford> Nothlit: that was a legitimate thanks
[08:16] <nothlit> SchalaBrandford, i don't doubt it lol
[08:16] <dabaR> necrodrako: you are supposed to tell us that, and we are supposed to tell you how to fix that error.
[08:17] <ubun> how come when i try to copy text from Gnome Terminal it's not showing up when I paste (whatever was last in my 'clipboard' still pastes)?
[08:17] <SchalaBrandford> dabaR: well, now the problem is that i reran the fstab and it STILL dosent work, lol
[08:17] <dabaR> ubun: how do you copy text from the terminal?
[08:18] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: you should post fstab, and output of sudo fdisk -l to paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[08:18] <ubun> i tried ctrl+shift+c and right clicking and selecting 'copy' from the menu
[08:18] <mneptok> ubun: is the terminal still open when you try?
[08:18] <ubun> after highlighting the text with my mouse
[08:18] <ubun> yes
[08:18] <dsnyders> Doow, I use the colors (ls --color) to distinguish files from folders.
[08:18] <noiesmo> ubun, you should select it then use edit copy fom menu
[08:18] <ubun> i did that
[08:18] <mneptok> ubun: WFM
[08:18] <dabaR> ubun: wfm2
[08:18] <ubun> wfm?
[08:18] <dabaR> works for nme

[08:18] <ubun> i creaetd my own profile i dont know if thats' why

[08:19] <wsjunior> when i try to run it from a terminal this is the error message i get: http://rafb.net/paste/results/cJLFYO44.html
[08:19] <Ilovemypuppy> ok- ive been informed that ubuntu 6.10 has no "long term support" ?
[08:19] <mneptok> wsjunior: you'll need Sun's JRE, update the default JRE, and then install the latest Azureus
[08:19] <necrodrako> i get this error

[08:19] <SchalaBrandford> dabaR: did that, but i dont think i fully understand the purpose.

[08:19] <mneptok> Ilovemypuppy: correct
[08:19] <dabaR> necrodrako: then his repository is down, and you have to wait til he is avail to ask him to enable it.
[08:20] <dabaR> Seveas: ping
[08:20] <wsjunior> mneptok: azureus is installed just doesnt work here.. this is the error message: http://rafb.net/paste/results/cJLFYO44.html
[08:20] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: show me the URL, please.
[08:20] <nickb_lll> hey, I'm having some problems with my hosts file - some entries just arent forwarding, this prob isnt the best channel to ask on, but any suggestions where to look
[08:20] <Ilovemypuppy> so 6.10 is the "development" branch and 6.06 is "stable"?
[08:20] <necrodrako> how am i saposed to contact him
[08:20] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: it helps me see information about the issue
[08:20] <dabaR> necrodrako: here is fine, or just try in a few hours.
[08:20] <mneptok> wsjunior: did you install Sun's Java and set it as default?
[08:20] <necrodrako> ill try tomarrow, i gotta go to bed now
[08:21] <wsjunior> mneptok: i dont think so, how could i?
[08:21] <FatherLavaGuard> I'd like to copy some avi TV episodes to a DVD (to play on a DVD player) what is the best Ubuntu program to use to do this?
[08:21] <SchalaBrandford> DabaR: Okay, heres sudo fdisk -l : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35732/
[08:21] <CorpseFeeder> I dont' think my DVD drive is mounted entirely correctly. Totem keeps telling me "Failed to mount /dev/hdc" And no disc icon appears when I insert a DVD in the drive. What have I got set up wrong?
[08:21] <bernhard> thx Community, Skype runs
[08:21] <wsjunior> mneptok: is there any tutorial for do this?
[08:21] <mneptok> Ilovemypuppy: no, both Edgy and Dapper are released. one is current, one is not. Dapper has a 3 year support cycle on the desktop, 5 years in the server closet. Edgy has 18 months.
[08:21] <ubun> paste works in gnome terminal but it wont let me copy text from it at all. i can copy fine from firefox but not from xchat either
[08:22] <dabaR> necrodrako:  http://seveas.imbrandon.com/pool/edgy-seveas/extras/libdvdcss2_1.2.9-0.0ubuntu4_i386.deb
[08:22] <SchalaBrandford> DabaR: and the fstab line: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35733/
[08:22] <CorpseFeeder> gxine will play DVDs no problem, but totem - I can't even get it to find the DVD drive? What's going on?
[08:22] <nothlit> ubun, have you tried restarting X?
[08:22] <ubun> no
[08:22] <mneptok> wsjunior: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install sun-java5-plugin
[08:22] <noiesmo> FatherLavaGuard, if your dvd player supports avi which i doubt then you will first need to convert them from avi to mpeg and then dvdauthor them so you can then burn them with a burner
[08:22] <Ilovemypuppy> mneptok, whats the reason for this?
[08:22] <mneptok> wsjunior: ping when that's done
[08:22] <ubun> my downloads would be hosed
[08:23] <mneptok> Ilovemypuppy: so that institutions can plan a long term cycle
[08:23] <peerless> how do i figure out what version of XFree86 I have installed?
[08:23] <necrodrako> thank you
[08:23] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: your kernel thinks it is ntfs, I do not want to contest it nor you. try http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35735/ as your fstab line, save, close the file then sudo mount -a/
[08:23] <Ilovemypuppy> mneptok, damn fine stuff. Confusing. but fine.
[08:23] <Catshrimp> Okay guys, time to shut the eyes for a bit.  I'll see you all later :)!
[08:24] <nothlit> peerless, ubuntu doesn't run on xfree, it runs on x.org apt-cache show xserver-xorg
[08:24] <Ilovemypuppy> ubuntu uses debians basic system tools right? apt-get and the such?
[08:24] <nothlit> Ilovemypuppy, that is correct
[08:24] <SchalaBrandford> DabaR: okay, but how do you know?
[08:24] <peerless> ah okay, well im trying to install these video card drivers..and its a .run file
[08:24] <FatherLavaGuard> thx noiesmo any good  avi -> mpg converters?
[08:24] <peerless> i dont know how to run it
[08:24] <Doow> peerless: or X -version
[08:24] <Akuma_> how can i play realplayer files in firefox? its using the MPlayer plugin, but doesn't seem to be able to run them
[08:24] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: by sudo fdisk -l output
[08:25] <mneptok> peerless: chmod +x filename.run && sudo ./filename.run
[08:25] <peerless> whats chmod +x do
[08:25] <dabaR> realplayer > Akuma_
[08:25] <noiesmo> FatherLavaGuard, I use mencoder its part of mplayer  http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html its in multiverse repos
[08:26] <mneptok> peerless: gives the file the executable flag
[08:26] <necrodrako> one more question
[08:26] <nothlit> peerless, it makes it executable
[08:26] <FatherLavaGuard> noiesmo, thx again
[08:27] <necrodrako> i have another hdd in my computer but it doesent show in places or anything
[08:27] <dabaR> necrodrako: did you get the file?
[08:27] <necrodrako> how can i access it
[08:27] <protocol2> Im still having issues with my sound
[08:27] <noiesmo> FatherLavaGuard, np
[08:27] <nothlit> peerless, linux has file permissions to make it more safe, and that includes preventing things from executing
[08:27] <necrodrako> yes, it works now too thank you
[08:27] <CorpseFeeder> should my dvd drive be mounted as /dev/hdc? is that normal or have I screwed something up?
[08:27] <nothlit> necrodrako, ubuntuguide.org
[08:27] <protocol2> I can make sounds into my mic and hear them on the speakers.,....but can't hear sounds from ubuntu?
[08:27] <protocol2> can anyonme help?
[08:28] <dabaR> necrodrako: sweet, run sudo fdisk -l in a terminal to see whether the hdd is recognized by your computer.
[08:28] <nothlit> CorpseFeeder, if its in the third slot then that is correct
[08:28] <dsnyders> Doow, I just came across a solution elsewhere:  ls -d */
[08:28] <protocol2> my sound card is detected...and I am plugged in correctly
[08:28] <SchalaBrandford> Dabar: same error: wrong FS, bad option, bad superblock, etc..
[08:28] <Akuma_> dabaR: so i've got to install realplayer? i can't get some codecs that will allow the other players to play them?
[08:29] <dabaR> Akuma_: is that what the wiki page says?
[08:29] <Doow> dsnyders: still not all clean, but better =)
[08:29] <necrodrako> it shows up
[08:29] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: oh, oh, you have " at the end of the fstab line?
[08:29] <necrodrako> as "/dev/hdb:
[08:29] <necrodrako> "/dev/hdb"
[08:30] <dabaR> necrodrako: show us on paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[08:30] <SchalaBrandford> i did not. should i?
[08:30] <dsnyders> Doow, I still can't fathom ls not being able to do it properly, though.  After all MS-DOS can do it.
[08:30] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: no, but it had that in your pastebin post.
[08:30] <nothlit> Akuma_, mplayer or vlc should be able to play real media files

[08:31] <SchalaBrandford> dabar: oh, thats because i was gonna paste it directly into the channel
[08:31] <necrodrako> pasted
[08:31] <necrodrako> the hdd in question is the 400 GB one
[08:31] <dabaR> necrodrako: give us the URL
[08:31] <Doow> dsnyders: me neither, but I won't go through the roof until I talk with some real guru, for all I know there's an obscure command that does only this
[08:31] <necrodrako> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35736/
[08:31] <nothlit> SchalaBrandford, you definitely shouldn't and especially if you haven't registered your nick... you would have been kicked for flooding
[08:32] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: show output of mount on pastebin, please.
[08:32] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: just mount
[08:32] <Byan> how do I fix this? http://rafb.net/paste/results/QnQGdk89.html
[08:32] <Akuma_> nothlit: noiesmo: thanks, apreciate
[08:32] <Byan> I am getting

[08:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dualmode - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:33] <dsnyders> Doow. True.  This has bugged me for a while, though.  Many a time it would have been handy.  There are lots of kludge workarounds but nothing satisfying.
[08:33] <Byan> dual mode?
[08:33] <protocol2> I can make sounds into my mic and hear them on the speakers.,....but can't hear sounds from ubuntu?
[08:34] <dabaR> necrodrako: you need to mount it. read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions for a start
[08:34] <protocol2> should try kmix
[08:34] <necrodrako> ok
[08:34] <CorpseFeeder> There is no entry in my fstab file for my DVD drive... is that normal????
[08:34] <borg> !dualhead
[08:34] <ubotu> Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead
[08:34] <SchalaBrandford> dabar: here it ishttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35737/
[08:34] <SchalaBrandford> nothlit: flooding? for one line?
[08:35] <nothlit> SchalaBrandford, oh
[08:35] <Doow> dsnyders: yeah, I thought about it a long time ago, but haven't really needed it since, I don't do any shell scriptingt, so ls -l | grep ^d has worked for me when I really needed it
[08:35] <nothlit> SchalaBrandford, rofl then why does he want you to paste it into a pastebin
[08:35] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: he did not get it.
[08:35] <dsnyders> Doow, ls -d */ will not list hidden directories, such as .mozilla in your home directory :-(
[08:36] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: I am not sure why it will not mount, but the file system seems to be ntfs, sorry, it is not something I know what to do about.
[08:36] <SchalaBrandford> dabar: thanks for the help, though. i think i'll just rip the drive out and USB it to my windows laptop in that case.
[08:37] <Doow> dsnyders: that's weird, -a don't seem to work together with -d
[08:37] <SchalaBrandford> i wish all computer problems could be solved with a screwdriver.
[08:37] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: ya, or ask again later maybe someone will know.
[08:37] <necrodrako> awsome
[08:37] <necrodrako> mounted
[08:37] <necrodrako> and accesible
[08:38] <necrodrako> i must say i LOVE UBUNTU
[08:38] <CorpseFeeder> There is no entry in my fstab file for my DVD drive... is that normal? Should I add it? how? What do I type in the line for a DVD drive?
[08:38] <dabaR> necrodrako: I must say I am impressed. Did you run a script or something?
[08:38] <dsnyders> It seems to have it's own subtle magic, Doow
[08:38] <SchalaBrandford> Well, im off to put screwdriver to compie. thank you, dabar and nothlit!
[08:38] <Doow> dsnyders: yeah, really =(
[08:39] <dabaR> CorpseFeeder: no /dev/hdc line? and you are sure it is at that node?
[08:39] <necrodrako> yes
[08:39] <dabaR> SchalaBrandford: welcome.
[08:39] <dsnyders> SchalaBrandford, Hey, I'll have a screwdriver!
[08:39] <nothlit> SchalaBrandford, tell me what you want to do? I haven't been paying complete attention
[08:39] <dabaR> necrodrako: OK, not so impressed then, I thouhgt you entered it all in by hand already.
[08:39] <CorpseFeeder> there is a line for the CD-rom drive, but no line for the DVD drive
[08:39] <Willa> how do I kow the name of my wireless module?
[08:39] <Willa> im trying to do modprobe...
[08:40] <SchalaBrandford> nothlit: dabar says my drive is NTFS, so im gonna plug it into my laptop with a ide-->usb adapter
[08:40] <nothlit> CorpseFeeder, try putting a disc in and see if it automounts first
[08:40] <ba5e> CorpseFeeder: its the same thing /mdeia/cdrom is normally DVD too (if its a DVD drive
[08:40] <SchalaBrandford> dsnyders: sorry, i only have enough vodka for one.
[08:41] <LeanCalPer> join #ubuntu-co
[08:41] <nothlit> SchalaBrandford, so you want to mount said usb drive?
[08:41] <nothlit> SchalaBrandford, read only or with writing too
[08:41] <SchalaBrandford> nolith: mount it in windows. o.o; so i dont think i'll have a problem
[08:41] <necrodrako> well dabar, ill be back tomarrow for some more learning
[08:41] <SchalaBrandford> nothlit*
[08:42] <dabaR> necrodrako: maybe we will meet again:)
[08:42] <nothlit> SchalaBrandford, lol #windows if you do
[08:42] <SchalaBrandford> Nothlit: that said, is there a way to get windows to read xfs and other linux-common filesystems in windows?
[08:43] <nothlit> SchalaBrandford, only ext2/ext3, and ext3 only as ext2
[08:43] <nothlit> SchalaBrandford, also a unrecommended reiserfs way, and I seriously don't recommend it
[08:43] <CorpseFeeder> ahh.. I made an error. My DVD drive IS in the fstab file, the CD drive is NOT listed. /dev/hdc is in there (my DVD) but /dev/hda is not in there (my CD)
[08:43] <nothlit> SchalaBrandford, you can use FAT
[08:43] <cmt^^> awake
[08:43] <nothlit> SchalaBrandford, fat is readable by both linux and windows pretty well
[08:44] <SchalaBrandford> but that involves formatting, and i dont have a space 100gb anywhere.
[08:44] <SchalaBrandford> spare*
[08:44] <zeeble> hi. I installed Ubuntu proper, then i apt-getted the xubuntu-desktop meta package, but i use the normal Gnome session. I would like gdm to start, and take me to the normal GDM splash screen, and not the one that shows the xubuntu mouse.. how do i do that?
[08:44] <SchalaBrandford> ah well, no biggie. im gonna go do it now, so i gotta /quit. :)
[08:44] <CorpseFeeder> so, I will rephrase... is it normal to have my DVD drive listed in fstab and not the CD drive?
[08:44] <nothlit> SchalaBrandford, if you haven't used encryption or compression linux can use ntfs filesystems for writing too... ubuntuguide.org
[08:44] <Akuma_> i installed realplayer, but i cant have it play files within firefox. mplayer tried to play them and chokes. file file assotiation actions don't seem too helpfull
[08:45] <loca|host> i want to remove openoffice, when i do apt-get remove open-office.org, it says that it will remove ubuntu-desktop* with it
[08:45] <loca|host> is there anyway to remove it alone ?
[08:45] <ixplore> hi. i just downloaded xampp   but i tried to install using the command "tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.5.5a.tar.gz -c /opt". it failedhow i can install. i am just beginner
[08:45] <zeeble> loca|host: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta package.
[08:45] <zeeble> loca|host: it wont remove "gnome" or all that.
[08:45] <nothlit> zeeble, gksudo gdmsetup
[08:46] <zeeble> loca|host: you can go ahead and remove that monster of a openoffice package
[08:46] <zeeble> nothlit: ty
[08:46] <|thunder> how big is OO ?
[08:46] <nysosym> hi all
[08:46] <nysosym>  is is "normal" that a process like totem with goom has the same cpu usage in minimized form as in maximized form?
[08:47] <protocol1> its not the sound card
[08:47] <nothlit> nysosym, i think so
[08:47] <protocol1> it worked great in my other OS
[08:48] <protocol1> something is configured wrong
[08:48] <dabaR> of course

[08:52] <Lovloss> Its okay. I just want to know if i have one or not... i suppose if its AMD and has 64 k cache its an AMD64 architecture... i hope im write
[08:52] <CorpseFeeder> I don't know what I'm doing.
[08:52] <Lovloss> *right
[08:53] <Byan> Lovloss: uhm.. 64k cache is really low...
[08:53] <wsjunior> any java guy around? http://rafb.net/paste/results/cJLFYO44.html
[08:53] <Akuma_> i installed realplayer, but it wont kick in when i try to view a ra file from within firefox. everything i google says it usually gets used automatically. instead MPlayer tries to play the file (and fails horribly)
[08:53] <Lovloss> Byan  and im really poor. It works.

[08:56] <CorpseFeeder> erm... okay.... If I click the "play DVD" button in System>Administration>Disk Manager, totem launches and plays the DVD in the drive, BUT if I start totem first then select the play dvd disc it tells me "failed to mount /dev/hdc" wtf is going on?
[08:56] <Arafangion> Why are various services suddenly restarting, such as cups, and now the logging service?
[08:56] <Lovloss> Byan: Model 8

[08:56] <wsjunior> could anybody help me to solve this problem? http://rafb.net/paste/results/cJLFYO44.html
[08:56] <Byan> Lovloss: then thats not even close to an AMD64
[08:56] <Akuma_> tonyyarusso: de nada
[08:57] <Lovloss> Byan: just an old AMD?
[08:57] <nothlit> CorpseFeeder, either totem shouldn't be trying to mount it or it isnt using pmount properly
[08:57] <Byan> Lovloss: yes
[08:57] <Lovloss> Byan: its cpu speed is only 1.5 ghz
[08:57] <CorpseFeeder> what is pmount? is it something I can fix?
[08:57] <Byan> well, yeah, if it's a duron, the cache could be that low
[08:57] <rebelfallen> Guys I need to search for a string in * files on my machine, then replace that string in every file in a specific dir. Any ideas?
[08:57] <Byan> but no AMD64 has cache that low
[08:58] <Arafangion> 1.5GHz is so damn fast these days.
[08:58] <Lovloss> I wish i was getting more than 300$ a month.

[09:06] <_JECKEL_> i'm beginning to think that maybe bellsouth just doesn't allow such connections
[09:06] <_JECKEL_> because...
[09:07] <_JECKEL_> or something is really screwy in my routher
[09:07] <_JECKEL_> router*
[09:07] <_JECKEL_> my router settings say a different DNS than the DNS I receive from doing /dns here
[09:07] <Arafangion> nothlit: Why would I be joking?

[09:10] <gotit> how do i do that i need help
[09:10] <Arafangion> gotit: Probably be easier to get yourself a router or setup an old box to do it.

[09:11] <hyakuhei> hi, I've installed php5 and libapache2-mod-php5, I have checked the permissions on php files (755 o=www-data) and done a few other checks, but still I cant get php to work, From a browser I just get raw php files downloaded, no server side magic:(
[09:11] <Byan> what is the package with all the building tools?
[09:11] <timhaughton> hyakuhei: I seem to remember having to run a few magic commands to get PHP to 'register' with Apache.

[09:12] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[09:13] <gotit> how do i manually route to use the uplink on windows machine
[09:14] <Arafangi1n> gotit: Ironically, the manual you want is often offline :( (And it's hairy to boot)
[09:14] <Arafangi1n> gotit: If you're very lucky, you'll be able to find a good reference on the ubuntu forums, give them a go.

[09:20] <Rebuitiseder> When I do it with VMware it goes crazy

[09:24] <tundejeg> pls
[09:24] <tundejeg> i have a problem
[09:24] <KronoKane> is it easy enough to find comparable apps to replace the ones you had in windows?
[09:24] <sushi_> tundejeg:; is that your question?
[09:24] <tundejeg> no
[09:24] <tundejeg> i login
[09:24] <sushi_> the answer would be yes
[09:25] <tundejeg> as a super user
[09:25] <tundejeg> with su -
[09:25] <tundejeg> and i entered
[09:25] <tundejeg> the password
[09:25] <sushi_> stop
[09:25] <zeeble> tundejeg: type longer sentences.
[09:25] <tundejeg> but it gave me the error

[09:26] <tundejeg> ok
[09:27] <Rebuitiseder> Anybody runs 64bit?
[09:27] <zeeble> tundejeg: you do not need to be root explicitly on ubuntu.
[09:27] <cmt^^> Rebuitiseder - I do, but 32-bit ubuntu
[09:27] <Byan> anyone know which package to install for opengl libs?

[09:34] <Willa> It seems like its not working.
[09:34] <SoftIce> so i need it started before /etc/init.d/asterisk is started
[09:34] <bledy> Robocop: How can i do that?
[09:34] <Robokop> bledy: open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install gvlc
[09:34] <aksuvari> SoftIce,  I see.. sorry I don't know how to start it before that
[09:35] <bledy> Robokop: Ok!

[09:41] <rc-1> if i install feisty fawn will i still be able to use edgy repository?
[09:41] <nothlit> aksuvari, gparted makes swap <files>?
[09:41] <aksuvari> nothlit,  no, it can make a swap partition
[09:42] <bledy> Not only DIVX, i want a universal player
[09:42] <bledy> is OK vlc player?
[09:42] <nothlit> aksuvari, hc asked about swap files

[09:43] <unimatrix9> my xserver is running on 75 hz, how do i set it to 60 hz?
[09:43] <SeyToN> bledy> is OK vlc player?<--- best player man
[09:43] <aksuvari> oh, sorry hc. I misunderstood your question
[09:43] <bledy> OK! How can i get vlc player?
[09:44] <nothlit> bledy, system -> administration -> synaptic, install vlc
[09:45] <nothlit> oh yeah gnome-app-install prolly has a lot of things people are asking for
[09:45] <x-r00t-x> the easiest way is apt-get install vlc
[09:45] <cmt^^> really? cool, I didn't know vlc worked in linux
[09:45] <nothlit> too bad i don't know whats on it
[09:46] <bledy> nothlit: shold i search?
[09:46] <bledy> i dont find install
[09:46] <nothlit> bledy, yeah sure
[09:46] <Unknown404> im back
[09:46] <Unknown404> =D
[09:46] <Unknown404> hmm what now
[09:47] <Unknown404> got ftp & apache running
[09:47] <Unknown404> dont know what else to set up on this machine :/
[09:47] <bledy> it gave to me a list, which of them should i get?
[09:47] <nothlit> Unknown404, install mysql
[09:47] <nothlit> Unknown404, and php
[09:47] <nothlit> !lamp | Unknown404
[09:47] <ubotu> Unknown404: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[09:47] <nothlit> bledy, the one thats just plain vlc
[09:48] <bledy> OK
[09:48] <Lovloss> Shou7ld i install Beryl with xgl or axgl? Im running a geforce 5500. I havent installed video drivers yet...
[09:48] <Unknown404> lol nothlit i dont need php and mysql
[09:48] <Unknown404> the site im hosting is very simple :P
[09:48] <nothlit> aixgl is faster
[09:49] <nothlit> Unknown404, if you don't get those, then you can't install ubuntu center :P

[09:49] <nothlit> darn
[09:49] <Lovloss> nothlit: Should i install a new nvidia driver or legacy? I think i might need legacy since its a 5500.
[09:49] <Lovloss> nothlit: or will getting aixgl take care of that
[09:49] <nothlit> Lovloss, you'll need to consult nvidia's website
[09:50] <Unknown404> nothlit, whats ubuntu centre?
[09:50] <nothlit> Unknown404, https://ubuntucenter.bountysource.com/screenshots
[09:50] <Lovloss> oy... alright thanks
[09:54] <Trist_an> just before updating, I wanted to know : no pb reported with the upgrade of xorg and so on?
[09:55] <Unknown404> im running ubuntu on vmware, is there any way i could make it boot faster?

[10:01] <Tmob> how do i forward X session in ubuntu shell?
[10:01] <Tmob> i sshed into a remote machine, and it wont open a gtk app
[10:01] <rausb0> Tmob: ssh -Y user@hostname
[10:01] <Tmob> asks for DISPLAY.. and i set it to myip:0
[10:01] <Tmob> oh lemme try
[10:01] <lyy> jsut installed ubuntu Linux ubuntu 2.6.15-26-386 how do i install mplayer?
[10:01] <Tmob> Please set the DISPLAY variable
[10:01] <cmt^^> How do I filter out quits/joins/parts in irssi?
[10:01] <cmt^^> !mplayer | lyy
[10:01] <ubotu> lyy: mplayer is a media player. Enable multiverse repo and type sudo apt-get install mplayer for more info please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer  To compile it from source see:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer/Compile

[10:01] <slimm5> hello ! sorry, im spech english very bad, but im have one questions ;-) im have TV-tuner Fly2000 with base chip Philips 7134. in ubuntu this tnot support ?
[10:02] <Tmob> lyy, apt-cache search mplayer
[10:02] <Tmob> lyy, then pick the package u want
[10:02] <rausb0> Tmob: no, the DISPLAY must be set from ssh itself
[10:02] <floating_> how to remove all files inside a dir ? rm -r just ?
[10:02] <Tmob> rausb0, hmm i used -Y
[10:02] <slimm5> thot=thinks
[10:02] <floating_> rmdir -r ?
[10:02] <rausb0> Tmob: then the ssh server may be disallowing X forwarding
[10:02] <floating_> I am scared of -r in rm command
[10:02] <rausb0> Tmob: look into /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the remote machine
[10:02] <Tmob> rausb0, ooh
[10:03] <UHU1> HELP, is there a way to autodetect hardware each time ubuntu is rebooted ?
[10:03] <Tmob> X11Forwarding no
[10:03] <bledy> nothlit, thank you, I installed it and is working correctly.
[10:03] <Tmob> rausb0, you are right.. thanks
[10:03] <nothlit> bledy, i'm glad :)
[10:03] <sushi_> floating to remove all the files in a directory its: rm *
[10:03] <sushi_> floating or: rm /nameofdir/*
[10:04] <floating_> how about removing a dir, that has files in it
[10:04] <floating_> and subdirs
[10:04] <Willa> is nvidia-glx the videocard driver?
[10:04] <sushi_> floating then its rm -rf /directory
[10:04] <Willa> Im getting staggering playback with dvds.
[10:04] <UHU1> HELP, is is possible to autodetect hardware each time ubuntu is rebooted (as if running a Live CD mode) ?
[10:04] <floating_> thanks
[10:05] <rausb0> Tmob: setting the DISPLAY variable manually to your ip address only works if you are not behind a nat gateway. and you give the remote host permission to display on your local X server.
[10:05] <nothlit> do not do not ever use rm *
[10:05] <floating_> why not ? I use it alot
[10:05] <Tmob> rausb0, the permission giving is done how?
[10:05] <rausb0> Tmob: xhost +remote_hostname
[10:05] <Tmob> as root?
[10:05] <rausb0> Tmob: no, as user
[10:06] <Tmob> oh ok
[10:06] <Tmob> well i changed the sshd_config and its working now :)
[10:06] <rausb0> Tmob: ah okay
[10:06] <Tmob> why not use -X ?
[10:06] <SeyToN> how do i know if ndiswrapper is running or not?
[10:06] <Tmob> instead of -Y ?
[10:06] <rausb0> Tmob: -Y is more secure
[10:06] <Tmob> yea i see "trusted" in man page but not much explanation
[10:07] <Tmob> is it secure because X communication is also encrypted?
[10:07] <rausb0> Tmob: otherwise users from on the remote machine could gaindisplay permission on your X server
[10:07] <Tmob> oh really!?
[10:07] <Tmob> how so?
[10:07] <nothlit> floating_, cause depending on how you use it it could delete far more than you intended
[10:07] <rausb0> Tmob: forwarded X in ssh is always encrypted, with -X and -Y
[10:08] <floating_> I have a strange problem :( I formatted ntfs to ext3. tried to fstab it, but on the boot there was an error about the UI=1341421something, and said to look at fcsk in /var/log. I checked there afterwards and didnt see anything. Now the fstab doesnt mount the ext3 partition, but instead mounted something from other ext3 to the mount point
[10:08] <rausb0> Tmob: but there was some bug in the way -X works. i dont know exactly.
[10:08] <Tmob> rausb0, ok gotcha.. thanks for the explanation
[10:09] <Arafangi1n> floating_: Sounds like your /etc/fstab is mixed up.,
[10:09] <nothlit> rausb0, -Y      Enables trusted X11 forwarding.  Trusted X11 forwardings are not subjected to the X11 SECURITY extension controls.
[10:09] <nothlit> seems less safe
[10:09] <floating_> I dont know if I entered right values in fstab, just removed the values that were for ntfs, and wrote just "defaults" 0 0 for the new ext3
[10:10] <rausb0> nothlit: maybe the X11 SECURITY extension introduced the problem
[10:11] <SeyToN> hi
[10:11] <UHU1> ppl, is it possible to autodetect hardware each time ubuntu is rebooted (as if running a Live CD mode) ?
[10:11] <floating_> Arafangi1n: any suggestions ?
[10:11] <rausb0> UHU1: actually, the hardware _is_ detected on every reboot
[10:11] <nothlit> UHU1, what sort of hardware and are you using hard drive trays or something?
[10:11] <nothlit> rausb0, not things like partitions and drives
[10:11] <Arafangi1n> floating_: No, it's after 5pm, so my brain's switched off :(
[10:12] <rausb0> nothlit: okay. but thats reasonable. i dont want my fstab changed automatically.
[10:12] <floating_> hehe, ok
[10:13] <Arafangi1n> floating_: For all I know, ubuntu does a whole lot of wierd autodetection stuff.
[10:13] <UHU1> rausb0 & nothlit: I installed ubuntu on portable HDD so I can use on 2 laptops. It works find on 1 laptop, but failed to recognise driver on 2nd laptop
[10:13] <Arafangi1n> floating_: Maybe it's confused by your partition not being marked as ext3, for all I know.
[10:14] <nothlit> UHU1, why not install ubuntu on both laptops and use your portable HDD to store your home folder?
[10:14] <nothlit> failed to recognise what hardware?
[10:14] <floating_> I marked it as ext3 also.. forgot to mention that^^
[10:14] <rausb0> UHU1: maybe that hardware is not supported at all
[10:14] <UHU1> nothlit: actually I'm planning to use it on several PCs (2 laptop & 1 office PC), installing on all would be too much & I'd like to keep consistent settings.
[10:15] <UHU1> rausb0: it's supported, it runs of if use Live CD
[10:15] <rausb0> UHU1: okay
[10:15] <UHU1> rausb0: i mean runs ok
[10:15] <rausb0> UHU1: and which particular hardware is it?
[10:16] <nothlit> UHU1, keeping consistent settings is easy with a consistent home folder
[10:16] <UHU1> rausbo: so far, it's the video driver
[10:16] <RememberPOL> What's the point of having a non-root account on a single-user system?
[10:16] <SeyToN> hi, how do i know if ndiswrapper is running or not?
[10:16] <Arafangi1n> RememberPOL: What's the point of using root?
[10:17] <Matthew> RememberPOL, security
[10:17] <Arafangi1n> RememberPOL: Root != administrator
[10:17] <RememberPOL> Arafangi1n: To make unrestricted system changes..
[10:17] <rausb0> UHU1: okay, so the xorg.conf file is not changed automatically
[10:17] <UHU1> nothlit: but I'm not allowed to install Linux on my office PC, so running from portable HDD would be good
[10:17] <Matthew> RememberPOL, just use sudo
[10:17] <Matthew> RememberPOL, or if you must, sudo -s
[10:17] <RememberPOL> Matthew: I know what to do but I'm asking about the philosophy..
[10:17] <UHU1> rausb0: I guess so.. (I dunno much about linux & xorg.conf stuff)
[10:17] <RememberPOL> In fact I just added NOPASSWD to my admin group in /etc/sudoers...
[10:17] <Arafangi1n> RememberPOL: With root, you have full access to *everything*, including the system memory and process heaps.
[10:17] <nothlit> I think livecd+unionfs would make the most sense
[10:17] <Matthew> ah, I think it is explained on the ubuntu website
[10:18] <Arafangi1n> RememberPOL: Far more than mere administrator.
[10:18] <UHU1> nothlit: unionfs ?? what's that.. wait I'll google it
[10:18] <RememberPOL> As if i'm just coming off windows
[10:18] <RememberPOL> Arafangi1n: I know.
[10:18] <rausb0> UHU1: i guess you'd have to build you own initscript to choose the right xorg.conf depending on which machine the system is booted
[10:18] <nothlit> RemoteViewer, but don't run sudo -s with graphical apps... you need gksudo or sudo -i
[10:18] <Arafangi1n> RememberPOL: Consider that even Mac OS X forces the users to go the sudo route.
[10:19] <nothlit> RememberPOL, but don't run sudo -s with graphical apps... you need gksudo or sudo -i
[10:19] <rausb0> UHU1: but if you have little knowledge about commandline and shell scripting, it will be hard
[10:19] <nothlit> !sudo | RememberPOL
[10:19] <ubotu> RememberPOL: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:19] <UHU1> rausb0: err.. oh well.... maybe the sys admin @ my office can help
[10:19] <Arafangi1n> RememberPOL: So, what is your previous system?
[10:19] <nothlit> RememberPOL, the point of not using root so a user compromise doesn't compromise the whole system
[10:19] <RememberPOL> Matthew: When you say security... exactly who is one's system susceptible to with only a root account..?
[10:20] <UHU1> rausb0 & nothlit: thanks for your help.. & i'll do more research on google
[10:20] <Matthew> RememberPOL, outside forces...ie. crackers, scriptkiddies, etc
[10:20] <Matthew> w/o a root account, outside forces must use sudo, which leaves a nice little trail
[10:20] <RememberPOL> nothlit: I get that but if there is only one user with privileges to critical information (single user system) and it gets compromised... that's basically a whole-system hack.
[10:21] <sindrum> any ideas on how i can have startup programs start minimized in notification area?
[10:21] <Arafangi1n> RememberPOL: Not really, they still need to figure out how to get root.
[10:21] <nothlit> RememberPOL, only if they can grab the pw for sudo
[10:22] <RememberPOL> Matthew: I really think it has more to do with potential pitfalls in software installation.. but that's hardly merited either.
[10:22] <Arafangi1n> RememberPOL: With root, not even the deteted files can be considered safe.
[10:22] <Arafangi1n> RememberPOL: Just grep the entire HDD, and you got passwords :)
[10:22] <dirge> Hello everyone.
[10:22] <Arafangi1n> Though, why would they bother, once they already have root...)
[10:22] <RememberPOL> Anything I install will be packaged for my system so there's hardly no chance of a poor coder using some command intended for a different system setup, resulting in negative things.
[10:22] <RememberPOL> Heh
[10:23] <Matthew> oh man, I downloaded the ubuntu edgy, not the kubuntu edgy...and I don't like doing the sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop thing either...oh well, here we go again
[10:23] <Unknown404> hmm
[10:23] <RememberPOL> lol
[10:23] <Unknown404> tux-racer, do i have to compile it from source?
[10:23] <Arafangi1n> RememberPOL: I would like a OpenBSD "variant" on linux - ie, one that is essentially exactly OpenBSD, except for the kernel itself.
[10:24] <Unknown404> i have tried sudo apt-get install tuxracer but it doesnt kow what packeage it is
[10:24] <Unknown404> :/
[10:24] <Unknown404> so i dont think its in the repositorys
[10:24] <tonyyarusso> Unknown404: planetpenguin-racer
[10:24] <Catshrimp> Arafangi1n: you would take the linux kernel over the BSD kernel? Bwahahaha
[10:24] <nothlit> Unknown404, tux racer is deprecated
[10:24] <dirge> Anyone got a good recommendation on a uber-fast linux tutorial book? I don't like the ones that drag on.
[10:25] <Arafangi1n> Catshrimp: Over the OpenBSD kernel, sure.
[10:25] <nothlit> Arafangi1n, err... openbsd kernel is much more secure
[10:25] <Arafangi1n> nothlit: That it is, but it's also much slower.
[10:25] <Catshrimp> dirge: I've heard that the Ubuntu Book is pretty good, though never looked through it.
[10:25] <Catshrimp> Arafangi1n: why? (now I'm curious) :)
[10:25] <nothlit> theres also a famous book for mepis
[10:25] <Arafangi1n> Catshrimp: Speed and portability :)
[10:26] <Arafangi1n> Catshrimp: imho, OpenBSD doesn't scale as high as linux does anymore :(
[10:26] <Unknown404> tonyyarusso, that the one i should use? nothlit, deprecated?
[10:26] <dirge> Catshrimp: I'm pretty much a linux n00b. I'm in an intermediate programming class and want to start programming for linux primarily.
[10:26] <Arafangi1n> dirge: What language are they using?
[10:26] <tonyyarusso> Unknown404: Changed name, yep
[10:26] <Catshrimp> dirge: you'll want to learn c,perl,python
[10:26] <dirge> Arafangi1n: Well, everyone seems to like C++, but I'm messing around with Java just to be diffrent.
[10:27] <dirge> Arafangi1n: I can do most any language.
[10:27] <Catshrimp> dirge: c++ is good too
[10:27] <Unknown404> all this downloading im doing :/
[10:27] <Arafangi1n> dirge: Are you joking?
[10:27] <nothlit> Unknown404, nm just install planetpenguin
[10:27] <Arafangi1n> dirge: Usually people say quite the reverse :)
[10:27] <dirge> Arafangi1n: No, I do realize Java works cross platforms, but I'd like to learn the Linux system so I can do C as well.
[10:27] <Catshrimp> No doubt about that
[10:27] <Lovloss> Is a GForce FX 5500 a legacy driver or a regular one?
[10:27] <Catshrimp> dirge: if you want a quick reference, check out oreilly's unix in a nutshell
[10:27] <Unknown404> nothlit,  i have a feeling this is going to lag
[10:28] <Unknown404> !!
[10:28] <sindrum> reg
[10:28] <dirge> Arafangi1n: Java is just so much easier. I spend 1-2 hours programming when the rest of the class takes days.
[10:28] <Arafangi1n> dirge: Realise that Java _is_ a platform.
[10:28] <Catshrimp> dirge: it covers gnu/linux unix solaris
[10:28] <Arafangi1n> dirge: They are probably taking days because they have yet to learn the STL.
[10:28] <zeeble> Hi. Which is the channel for the next planned Ubuntu release? Feisty Fawn?
[10:28] <Catshrimp> yep
[10:28] <dirge> Arafangi1n: the VM is a platform, but the apps I make I'd like to specialize in Linux.
[10:28] <nothlit> theres a reason why people don't use java, its slow
[10:28] <Arafangi1n> dirge: I suggest you move away from Java then.
[10:28] <Catshrimp> dirge: in order to run java you need the VM :)
[10:29] <Catshrimp> Java's nice to begin with
[10:29] <dirge> Arafangi1n: I'm using Java because the class is talking about simple stuff I already understand. (Linked Lists, Hashtables, etc)
[10:29] <Arafangi1n> dirge: Consider learning Python :)
[10:29] <Catshrimp> =D
[10:30] <Arafangi1n> dirge: Those things are part of the core syntax.
[10:30] <Catshrimp> dirge: http://docs.python.org/tut/
[10:30] <dirge> Arafangi1n: Yeah, taking all the core classes. Last class was Structures. The one I'm taking now is discrete structures. (No programming, all math.)
[10:31] <Arafangi1n> dirge: python is nice for math too :)
[10:31] <dirge> Catshrimp: Thanks. I'll read up on Python. It's mostly used for databases and such right? I've never really heard much about it for creating apps and such.
[10:31] <zeeble> heh
[10:31] <nothlit> err
[10:31] <nothlit> bittorrent was written in python
[10:31] <Catshrimp> dirge: I don't do python yet.  I've just had that handy for a while.  I used to know another really good one also.
[10:31] <Unknown404> lol planet penguyin LAGS
[10:32] <Unknown404> virtual machine ftl
[10:32] <dirge> nothlit: I'm using Azureus because I like the plugins (ie. RSS, Updater)
[10:32] <Arafangi1n> Unknown404: It's a pretty heafty OpenGL application.
[10:33] <floating_> http://up.k10x.net/hpkhnhysrfxpv/fstabi.txt hda5 is not mounting. in /media/hda5 exists hda7 data:(
[10:33] <SeyToN> so anybody knows how to know if ndiswrapper is running or not?
[10:33] <Catshrimp> dirge: also, if you are looking for a higher level language, you could always go the mono path
[10:33] <Unknown404> Arafangi1n, and im running buntu on VMware
[10:33] <dirge> Well, almost time for me to reinstall everything... Windows partition is corrupted, and I want to install Edgy Eft. May as well just wipe and reload everything.
[10:34] <dirge> Mono path?
[10:34] <Unknown404> would be fine if buntu was my normal OS
[10:34] <floating_> is that fstab messed up, as in # shuld exists on the lines with UUID and not /dev/hdaxy ?
[10:34] <Catshrimp> dirge: http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page
[10:34] <Arafangi1n> dirge: The opensource implementation of .NET
[10:34] <frogzoo> Unknown404: what's stopping you?
[10:34] <dirge> Catshrimp: Um, I'm in command line right now. I'll write it down and check it out in a bit.
[10:35] <Catshrimp> dirge: links is your friend :D
[10:35] <Unknown404> frogzoo, my need of space, if i get a nice big hard drive that i can back up all of my picstures & music on i will change over, will dual boot tho cause i will still need blows to play some games
[10:35] <dirge> Nautilus likes to crash whenever there's a swf file that it tries to create an icon for. So I'm in Term1.
[10:35] <SeyToN> how do i know if ndiswrapper is running or not?
[10:35] <zeeble> you will need windows to play some games
[10:35] <nothlit> dirge, ktorrent might have those features, i'm running utorrent+wine though
[10:36] <Arafangion> Unknown404: Just get a server, find some old crappy system, stick a nice drive into it, install debian onto it, and hey presto, a damn fine server :)
[10:36] <dirge> nothlit: It has an RSS feed with a regex search?
[10:36] <Unknown404> i dont need a server
[10:36] <Unknown404> i need a workstation
[10:36] <Catshrimp> Unknown404: you need a server for those files :D
[10:36] <nothlit> dirge, ubuntu does the updating of it, and there are apps to do rss autoloading
[10:36] <Unknown404> oh lol thats what u ment
[10:37] <Catshrimp> =)
[10:37] <dirge> nothlit: I'd like it all in package rather than apps running all over the place.
[10:37] <Catshrimp> Unknown404: then you can just use it to store whatever so that you can use the workstation for work
[10:37] <dirge> nothlit: Although, if I can get the programming for Linux down, I can easily create an RSS feed plugin for some of the torrent applications.
[10:37] <CyberMad> do you know software like acronis true image workstation (backup & imaging software) in linux?
[10:37] <nothlit> dirge, it has include exclude filters save in directory by feed by type by episode smart ep filter minimum interval matching, a lot
[10:37] <CyberMad> so if there is problem with the OS, i can restore to last backup state
[10:38] <Catshrimp> CyberMad: tar
[10:38] <`> where is the default directory where a package is installed after i make installed it
[10:38] <nothlit> dirge, utorrent
[10:38] <ArwynH> dirge: most ubuntu high level stuff is done in python nowadays, just so that you know. :)
[10:38] <dirge> ArwynH: Thanks.
[10:38] <ArwynH> a little piece that people forgot to mention. :)
[10:39] <Catshrimp> CyberMad: or you could read http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Backup
[10:39] <frogzoo> ArwynH: is there any way to compile python?
[10:39] <Arafangion> dirge: Most high level _anything_ :)
[10:39] <CyberMad> Catshrimp tar? looks like a compression
[10:39] <SeyToN> how do i know if ndiswrapper is running or not? i typed "modprobe ndiswrapper" but nothing shows ......
[10:39] <Arafangion> frogzoo: Why do you want to?
[10:39] <ArwynH> frogzoo: it compiles at runtime.
[10:39] <frogzoo> Arafangion: cos then gnome would be 10x faster
[10:39] <Catshrimp> CyberMad: you compress the system and then when you fux up you uncompress the image and voila :)
[10:39] <ArwynH> frogzoo: no it wouldn't
[10:39] <Arafangion> frogzoo: No it wouldn't, it'd be 10x *slower*.
[10:40] <CyberMad> Catshrimp you give me gentoo url, is that will works with ubuntu?
[10:40] <dirge> Are more people switching to the KDE environment?
[10:40] <Arafangion> frogzoo: If it impacted speed at all, that is :)
[10:40] <Catshrimp> CyberMad: but you should check out the gentoo-wiki above.  It has a differential backup that I'm sure you're looking for
[10:40] <frogzoo> Arafangion: I think I'll need some convincing on that proposition
[10:40] <ArwynH> python compiles at runtime and keeps the binaries. recompiles if there is a change. there will be no speed improvements.
[10:40] <Catshrimp> CyberMad: it's not word for word, no.  Substitute where needed
[10:40] <kraut> moin
[10:40] <frogzoo> ArwynH: ah, thx
[10:40] <Arafangion> frogzoo: Ask the #java guys why they don't compile their Java code.
[10:40] <ArwynH> dirge: er. not really. I like GNOME.
[10:40] <Catshrimp> CyberMad: if nothing else, it's a baseline.  You could also query wiki.ubuntu.com
[10:40] <ArwynH> Arafangion: bs. it will not be slower or faster.
[10:41] <kleinlappies> does anyone know of a vob (dvd) to avi or mpeg converter
[10:41] <frogzoo> Arafangion: why don't the java guys compile their java code?
[10:41] <dirge> frogzoo: Well, it semi-compiles.. It's Bitcode. Not machine level,
[10:41] <CyberMad> catisonh_ ahh.. thanks :)
[10:41] <Arafangion> *bytecode
[10:41] <dirge> Arafangion: Yeah. lol
[10:41] <ArwynH> frogzoo: they do. to java byte-code. it will run on any platform.
[10:42] <nothlit> dirge, i think kde is still the leading DE
[10:42] <ArwynH> frogzoo: you can compile to native code using gcj, but the speed improvement is not worth it.
[10:42] <Arafangion> frogzoo: The python VM is actually remarkably similar to the Java VM, apparently.
[10:42] <ArwynH> java is not slow.
[10:42] <dirge> nothlit: I've been thinking about using it more myself as well.
[10:42] <frogzoo> Arafangion: I know that - but you can compile java to machine code, with some performance gains
[10:42] <Arafangion> ArwynH: Actually, I was told that there is _no_ speed improvement, though gcj apps do often start faster.
[10:42] <CyberMad> i have ubuntu iso in my laptop.. is it possible to install ubuntu in my desktop PC without burn the iso to CD? maybe via LAN ?
[10:43] <Arafangion> frogzoo: If you have slow code, you make it faster, as simple as that. :)
[10:43] <dirge> CyberMad: Yes, it's possible, but it's not very fast. Just burn it.
[10:43] <nothlit> dirge, oh I wasn't thinking about it, I don't even use a DE
[10:43] <ArwynH> CyberMad: techniqualy, yes, but i wouldn't bother.
[10:43] <noiesmo> kleinlappies, I'm on kde so I use konqkonv is a KDE service menu which allows quick and easy conversion of video files (I've tried .avi, .mov and .mpg with it) into DVD or VCD compliant mpg files.
[10:43] <frogzoo> CyberMad: dude, burning the cd will be the easiest way
[10:43] <CyberMad> nothlit what DE ?
[10:43] <nothlit> CyberMad, I just said I don't use one rofl
[10:43] <Arafangion> Desktop Environment.
[10:44] <dirge> CyberMad: It's faster to burn, and then you have a CD that you can use as a live CD.
[10:44] <CyberMad> nothlit sorry.. hehe i don't understand your english joke... my english too worst! ;P
[10:44] <nothlit> CyberMad, no joke here
[10:44] <dirge> CyberMad: What's your language?
[10:44] <xpbbruno> OLA GALERA]
[10:45] <rausb0> nothlit: what do you use? fluxbox?
[10:45] <nothlit> rausb0, yupyupyup
[10:45] <xpbbruno> brasil/;] ?
[10:45] <nothlit> rausb0, and of course conky (and adesklets for user interaction stuff)
[10:46] <dirge> CyberMas: nihingo o hanashi masuka?
[10:46] <rausb0> nothlit: i've been using xfce 3.8 for some years. and xfce 4 on xubuntu.
[10:47] <rausb0> Catshrimp: yes, but only when running screen(1) :))
[10:47] <crazy_bus> I really like how in amarok you can pause a song with Windows key+C.  Do any gnome based players have the same functions?
[10:47] <rausb0> Arafangion: me too
[10:47] <nothlit> Catshrimp, just a volume desklet!!!
[10:47] <dirge> Well, test tomorrow. see ya everyone. Thanks for the help.
[10:47] <Catshrimp> ;) =P
[10:47] <nothlit> Catshrimp, id rather not use a dockapp or wait for a prog to launch... anyways theyre all incredibly lightweight
[10:48] <nothlit> would you rather I blow out my ears when theres an app with no volume control?
[10:48] <Catshrimp> nothlit: perhaps? =P
[10:48] <Lovloss> How do you turn X off in ubuntu? init 3 doesnt work :(

[10:55] <_JECKEL_> I wanna make sure a certian port stays open and listened for...how would I do that in ubuntu?
[10:58] <floating_> anyone familiar with uuid here ?
[10:58] <gavintu> simple question: Is there any difference between a full ubuntu install and ubuntu-server + ubuntu-desktop? i.e. does ubuntu-desktop just install gnome and the required libraries or will it install all of the apps that weren't included in ubuntu-server as well?
[10:58] <wijnand> does anyone know when adobe reader 8 will be in the ubuntu repositories?
[10:59] <Matthew> _JECKEL_, check out firestarter...it's a firewall.
[10:59] <Matthew> _JECKEL_, sudo apt-get install firestarter
[10:59] <ArwynH> gavintu: there are different options during the install, but you can get from a to b without re-installing.
[11:00] <gavintu> ArwynH: I'm mainly concerned about the filesize/excess libraries. I'm planning on reinstalling from scratch anyways.
[11:00] <y0ni> gavintu: these apps will be installed if u install ubuntu-desktop: http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/metapackages/ubuntu-desktop
[11:00] <gavintu> y0ni: Thanks.

[11:03] <_JECKEL_> so ubuntu by default lets all trafic in and out right?
[11:03] <poningru> klerfayt: hmm
[11:04] <poningru> klerfayt: are you sure you were super user?
[11:04] <poningru> as in sudo
[11:04] <klerfayt> poningru: yes; master boot record was overwritten then I installed feisty, now I can't figure out how to rewrite it in edgy
[11:05] <ArwynH> _JECKEL_: yes, but it also doesn't have anything listening by default either.
[11:05] <[Nige] > hi all
[11:05] <poningru> klerfayt: do you still have the live cd?
[11:05] <poningru> the install cd I mean
[11:05] <klerfayt> poningru: y
[11:05] <jengc0il> hi ppl
[11:05] <poningru> you can install it from there
[11:05] <poningru> really easily
[11:05] <[Nige] > does anyone know if its possible to use offline files in ubuntu?
[11:06] <poningru> [Nige] : what do you mean?
[11:06] <poningru> offline files?
[11:06] <SoftIce> hi /etc/init.d/ s read how
[11:06] <SoftIce> alphabetical
[11:06] <SoftIce> how can i get 1 service to start before another?
[11:06] <klerfayt> poningru: why should I? is there really no way to write on master boot record in ubuntu?
[11:06] <poningru> klerfayt: there is but apperantly you cant
[11:07] <[Nige] > poningru, I want to add a folder called photos, with all my photos but when I log on I want the newer photos to be synchronised with the server so I have a complete set both offline and on
[11:07] <klerfayt> poningru: what does "grub-install" do?
[11:07] <poningru> SoftIce: you have to mess around with rc
[11:07] <poningru> klerfayt: grub-install /dev/hda
[11:07] <SoftIce> thanks
[11:08] <poningru> that installs it to your hard drive mbr but read that wiki
[11:08] <poningru> seems like you didnt
[11:08] <cherubiel> SoftIce: the services are numbered with SXX , XX defines the order IMHO
[11:08] <poningru> SoftIce: its kinda complicated you have different run levels etc.
[11:08] <[Nige] > poningru, do you understand
[11:09] <poningru> [Nige] : what kinda server is it?
[11:09] <[Nige] > nt
[11:09] <[Nige] > :
[11:09] <[Nige] > :)
[11:09] <capashen> Please can someone tell me what this message mean: "Tomcat 5 servlet engine is not running, but pid file exists.". ?
[11:10] <noiesmo> [Nige] , have you got install rights on nt box
[11:10] <[Nige] > noiesmo, I do.
[11:10] <poningru> [Nige] : also what do you mean by synch? like if someone deleted a photo from the server should it delete from the box as well?
[11:10] <poningru> nt?
[11:10] <poningru> what does that mean?
[11:10] <noiesmo> [Nige] , rsync is a program that allows files to be copied to and from remote
[11:10] <poningru> sorry dont know all protocols
[11:10] <noiesmo>  machines in much the same way as rcp

[11:11] <ubotu> rsync: fast remote file copy program (like rcp). In component main, is standard. Version 2.6.8-2ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 237 kB, installed size 472 kB
[11:11] <gavintu> anybody know a howto for installing from an unrelated LiveCD (like ultimate boot or something) ?
[11:11] <[Nige] > sounds like a lot of messing around with cron
[11:11] <Arafangion> noiesmo: Come on, you're not doing tridge justice!
[11:11] <noiesmo> Arafangion, ??
[11:12] <Arafangion> rsync's more than just a mere utility to copy files :)
[11:12] <Arafangion> It copies the _changes_, without knowing what the other files might look like!

[11:12] <noiesmo> Arafangion, :)
[11:12] <Arafangion> noiesmo: And Tridge wrote it, pretty sure :)
[11:13] <gavintu> ... is it even possible to install the base from a non ubuntu liveCD?
