[15:48] <mrtimdog> flona: http://www.ubuntu.com/support
[15:48] <jimqode> flona, when you call microsoft they tell you to reinstall it. and reinstalling ubuntu will surely fix this problem. but that's not the kind of fix you're looking for is it?
[15:48] <flona> mrtimdog: as if i can start firefox or gnone to visit that website
[15:48] <flona> it was working just fine last night
[15:48] <jpds> flona: Go and contact Canonical or another commerical support line as mrtimdog suggested.

[15:52] <flona> spider: np
[15:52] <geminidomino> flona: try this:    sudo dpkg --configure xorg-server   Should let you reset your resolutions
[15:52] <jimqode> flona, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg should get x working at least with vesa driver

[15:57] <C0p3rn1c> spider: the latest firefox ask you to install it when needed
[15:57] <Zelbinian> Is the package manager different from the Add/Remove applications dialog?
[15:57] <flona> is there global setting for gnome ?
[15:57] <jimqode> Zelbinian, yes. it is Synaptic Package Manager.
[15:57] <C0p3rn1c> I need a good mp3 manager to delete//move my music
[15:57] <nickrud> flona and make sure you delete any ~/.gnome2/monitor.xml file

[15:57] <C0p3rn1c> any idea's?
[15:58] <kindofabuzz> C0p3rn1c: you have rm and mv
[15:58] <roch09> geirha is this what I should put: http://paste.ubuntu.com/35561/
[15:58] <geirha> Zelbinian: Yes, synaptic shows all packages, Add/Remove only shows applications that will add a menu-entry (i.e. it doesn't list libraries)
[15:58] <j800r> can anyone help me with installing/setting up my printer please. i'm setting it up for my dad and i don't know anything about printers on ubuntu

[15:58] <geirha> roch09: Yes. I don't think the order has anything to say really, but that's the order my entry has.
[15:58] <kindofabuzz> C0p3rn1c: huh? very productive
[15:58] <kindofabuzz> dwarrel: np
[15:59] <C0p3rn1c> kindofabuzz: I mean efficient
[15:59] <j800r> jimqode: no, it's parallel port
[15:59] <jimqode> C0p3rn1c, try mc. it's very efficient imho.

[16:00] <roch09> geirha > thanks I am trying supergrub, if it fails, I will change the entries as u said
[16:01] <monostone> platius: well i followed the instructions indicated, but i still can't see any usb from vb
[16:01] <C0p3rn1c> jimqode: flash based?
[16:01] <ikonia> roch09: you've been told the method you are using will not work
[16:01] <jimqode> j800r, use this as a guide. there will be no autodetected printers. just choose another printer by specifying port, then lp0. choose the printer driver closest to your printer model.
[16:01] <ikonia> roch09: you've been also told this is NOTHING to do with ubuntu
[16:02] <ikonia> roch09: using the vista boot loader to load grub is not supported, using the vista boot loader to load ubuntu will not work - please please please, get support from the guy who wrote the doc your reading
[16:02] <C0p3rn1c> kindofabuzz: to be more exact I want a good music player with a nice library that allows you to easally move/delete/rate/catogerize your music
[16:02] <geirha> ikonia: It's the vista entry in grub that is the problem ...
[16:02] <mrtimdog> C0p3rn1c: Amarok?
[16:03] <ikonia> geirha: not from what I'm reading
[16:03] <ikonia> geirha: or if I have it wrong I apologise
[16:03] <j800r> jimqode: i actually have drivers for my printer, but they're in source, and gzip format. I'm not sure how to compile/install from source
[16:03] <monostone> another issue i have is making vfat partition available to virtualbox. I configured the share via the devices->share menu, but the folder does not appear, any ideas?
[16:03] <kindofabuzz> banshee, amarok, exaile, alot of choices
[16:03]  * C0p3rn1c is checking out amarok
[16:03] <jimqode> j800r, you probably won't need them.
[16:03] <jimqode> j800r, try the standard method first

[16:06] <monostone> alilo: please provide detailed error messages to understand what your problem is
[16:06] <roch09> Ikonia> firstly the method I was trying works, through NEOgrub, so stop telling me it doesn't, then I made a mistake of changing the entries in EASYBCD, thats when vista stopped working, so I decided to get back GRUB to MBR, now Vista doesn't work, so I am here trying to figure that out. you don't want to help, don't but if you dont know something please stay away.
[16:06] <alilo> monostone, okay
[16:07] <C0p3rn1c> mrtimdog: thanks amarok was exactly what i was looking for!
[16:07] <flona> include_pr: what do you mean ? you can't see the menus and top/buttom bars ?

[16:08] <Zelbinian> Hmm. I added libflashsupport libflash-swfplayer and libflash-mozplugin, restarted Firefox, and I still can't get flash videos to work.
[16:08] <geirha> alilo: have you installed the virtualbox-ose-modules package?
[16:08] <monostone> alilo: do this -> sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-`uname -r`

[16:08] <alilo> monostone, hardy
[16:09] <monostone> alilo:  fine , it will work
[16:09] <flona> include_pr: maybe there are key combination that takes off the full mode
[16:09] <alilo> monostone, a big thanks:)
[16:09] <monostone> alilo: reboot after successfully executing that command
[16:09] <include_pr> flona: I just reffered to the problem as full screen mode but is the same problem you have MInimize or Maximize as well as taskbar doent show
[16:09] <alilo> monostone, okay it's done ;)
[16:10] <monostone> alilo: excellent :)
[16:10] <flona> include_pr: even after restarting you can't see the menus only the icons right ?
[16:10] <include_pr> flona: I cant understand why Ubuntu/Firefox/Compiz dont fix problem
[16:10] <flona> include_pr: did you reboot and still having the same problem ?

[16:25] <ay^> Qiler: if you fire up ubuntu livecd and you gparted first
[16:25] <tosate> Qiler: why do you need 5 primary partitions?
[16:25] <flona> i need to get into office to get it
[16:25] <soundray> Qiler: you can set up four primary partitions max, or three primaries plus one extended. The extended one can contain multiple logical partitions.
[16:25] <flona> i doubt fsck would fix the problem
[16:25] <soundray> Qiler: it's a limitation from DOS times, not at all Ubuntu-specific
[16:25] <flona> is a settings issue in gnome and/or display
[16:25] <ay^> Qiler: what soundray said is what I meant
[16:26] <flona> something global, because even new users can't see the menus
[16:26] <monostone> i have enabled a shared vfat partition in the devices->shares for virtualbox-1.5.6_OSE but it isnt becoming available, how should i proceed??
[16:26] <Qiler> 50gb ntfs partition for windows, 400gb ntfs partition for windows files/games and 3 linux partitions
[16:26] <SpeCon> hello all: I bought myself a brand new HP pavillion D6000 new from the store today. I want to install ubuntu on it but when i put the CD IN you can see ubuntu loading but then i get a black screen with => Busy box v1.1.3 build in shell (ash) Enter help for a list of build in commands. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs)
[16:27] <flona> .xsessions-errors says cant add monitor
[16:27] <flona> last night it was working just fine
[16:27] <soundray> SpeCon: above that, do you see any message indicating why it goes into busybox mode?
[16:28] <Arnos> I just accidentally overwrote my ~/.profile, is that bad?
[16:28] <geirha> flona: Try a different wm perhaps. Try installing the fluxbox package and log in with fluxbox as session.
[16:28] <bobertdos> Qiler: It is not necessary, nor does it make much sense to have your home on a separate partition. Mounting one Ext3 partition to / gives you everything you need.
[16:28] <SpeCon> soundray no i don't see any msg
[16:28] <nmcbride> geirha: is fluxbox even under development anymore?  I've been wandering that.
[16:28] <flona> geirha: apt-get install fluxbox ?
[16:28] <flona> what about KDE
[16:29] <geirha> flona: aye, possibly with sudo infront if you're not root
[16:29] <Qiler> hmmm so should i make only swap and root?
[16:29] <bobertdos> Qiler: As for your other partitions, they should not be a problem. Yes, only swap and root as far as Ubuntu is concerned.
[16:29] <geirha> flona: If compiz is the issue, then fluxbox is better, because it's not compatible with compiz.
[16:29] <flona> geirha: k
[16:29] <soundray> SpeCon: how much RAM do you have?
[16:30] <Qiler> ok, thanks
[16:30] <SpeCon> soundray: 4GB
[16:31] <Qiler> well. thanks for help. cya.
[16:31] <mashugac> hi
[16:31] <soundray> SpeCon: try this: boot the CD, at the boot menu, hit F6 to edit the kernel parameters, add to the end of the line   all_generic_ide
[16:31] <geirha> nmcbride: I have no idea, but it's still a good wm :)
[16:31] <mashugac> does someone know how to emulate windows without virtualbox?
[16:32] <SpeCon> soundray: and that should help ?
[16:32] <bobertdos> mashugac: Wine?
[16:32] <mashugac> ehm, wine is not an emulator ;)
[16:32] <Miesco> Hey, ZynAddSubFX letters are too big: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=883864

[16:32] <Takmadeus> Hi
[16:33] <norber> hello i have a problem with ndiswrapper
[16:33] <Takmadeus> Does anyone know how to put randopm signatures in evolution mail?
[16:33] <soundray> SpeCon: this is assuming that the Ubuntu kernel has trouble with your drive controller
[16:33] <Takmadeus> *random
[16:33] <norber> http://paste.ubuntu.com/35563/
[16:33] <SpeCon> soundray: okay i realy hope i can run ubuntu cause i payed lots off money for this HP laptop
[16:33] <flona> geirha: ok i'm in, i don't know if it has menus on top or not because i dont see any menus at all except a right click mouse
[16:34] <soundray> SpeCon: take it easy, it's just a little hurdle to get over
[16:34] <geirha> flona: there should only be a bar at the bottom. And you get to the menus with clicking on the background like you did.
[16:34] <SpeCon> soundray: so when i put that command you told me. it will work the
[16:34] <SpeCon> nn
[16:34] <Takmadeus> I have this problem that I want random quotes to appear in my mail, but the editor preferences only allow me to choose one at a time instead of adding a random one from the signature editor
[16:34] <Takmadeus> so
[16:35] <flona> geirha: i checked .xsessions-errors there are tons of errors saying unable to set value setting to default
[16:35] <Takmadeus> Has anyone managed to do what I am saying?
[16:35] <bobertdos> norber: So, your card works, but it's not detecting your network?
[16:35] <flona> geirha: failed to read $$VARIABLE$$ then sets it to default
[16:35] <flona> lots of variables
[16:35] <norber> bobertdos: yes, its not detecting nothing
[16:36] <SpeCon> soundray: is that the only command to do ? to make it work. cause i'm gonna reboot my computer now and going to try itp
[16:36] <Takmadeus> I have this problem that I want random quotes to appear in my mail, but the editor preferences only allow me to choose one at a time instead of adding a random one
[16:36] <soundray> SpeCon: I don't know. I've been trying to explain: there are many possible reasons why this error could be happening. One of them is drive controller trouble, if it's that, this kernel parameter may fix it.
[16:36] <geirha> flona: hm I have some error messages in my .xsession-errors too, but no one that matches your description
[16:36] <norber> i have ubuntu 8.04 lts and the version of ndiswrapper 1.51
[16:37] <soundray> SpeCon: it's actually the most frequent reason for this error.
[16:37] <SpeCon> soundray: okay i'm going to try that
[16:37] <flona> geirha: where i can set the resolution for global to re-login on gnome ?
[16:37] <SpeCon> i be back in some minutes so please stand by here
[16:37] <SpeCon> brb
[16:37] <geirha> flona: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:37] <Takmadeus> I have this problem that I want random quotes to appear in my mail, but the editor preferences only allow me to choose one at a time instead of adding a random one
[16:37] <bobertdos> norber: What card are you using and what driver did you use for it?
[16:37] <Takmadeus> i am using evolution btw
[16:38] <geirha> flona: open a terminal and run gnome-appearance-properties. Try to disable compiz from the visual effects tab there.
[16:38] <norber> bobertdos: card wmp300N driver net5416 from Xp
[16:39] <norber> the card have chip atheros
[16:39] <dmi3on> what is normal swap portition size ?>
[16:39] <bobertdos> dmi3on: A general rule is twice your RAM.
[16:39] <dmi3on> ok, thx
[16:40] <dmi3on> bobertdos, type of protition logical or promery ?
[16:40] <kane77> can anyone help me with libraries.. I need to export the /usr/local/lib so that it would be recognized in my Java IDE.. I have put into my .bashrc something like export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib but it does not find the libraries.. if I put that to run configuration inside the IDE it works.. how can I make it recognize it?
[16:40] <simotempler> is vmware server for ubuntu free
[16:41] <mw44118> hi -- Got a question about the less pager.  Is there a way to reload a file?  Right now, I quit and restart.
[16:41] <kane77> simotempler, what do you mean by free? as in beer or as in speech?
[16:41] <bobertdos> dmi3on: Well, if your talking about Ubuntu swaps, they are not primary nor are they extended.
[16:41] <flona> geirha: did it, same issue
[16:41] <dmi3on> can i run compiz on intel 965
[16:41] <norber> bobertdos: the file .inf used in ndiswrapper is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/35572/
[16:41] <simotempler> no cost
[16:42] <paolo_> this is my question: I want to know if a package has been installed using apt-get install or if it has been installed with apt-get source (how do i distinguish these two)
[16:42] <kane77> dmi3on, yes, although for example blur does not work with the drivers (I'm not sure about 965, but on my 955 it runs OK apart from blur)
[16:42] <soundray> dmi3on: yes, you can. If you have more than 512MB RAM, don't make your swap bigger than RAM+10%
[16:42] <simotempler> if i have xp on a dual boot can i run that in ubuntu using vmware server for free
[16:43] <bobertdos> norber: and you know for a fact that there are broadcasting ssid's around you?
[16:43] <sunru> hi
[16:43] <Takmadeus> I have this problem that I want random quotes to appear in my mail, but the editor preferences only allow me to choose one at a time instead of adding a random one. I am using evolution
[16:43] <soundray> simotempler: can you rephrase that question?
[16:43] <sunru> i just installed ubuntu desktop, I admit I wasn't paying too much attention, but I don't recall it asking for a root password? did I miss something?
[16:43] <dmi3on> bobertdos,  in ubuntu install, creat new portition when i select swap i can make selection of "type of new portiotion" you saying it doesnt matter what i selcet ?
[16:43] <norber> bobertdos: yes
[16:43] <sunru> er ubuntu server sorry.
[16:43] <geirha> flona: Ok, so the problem is not with compiz then. I've never heard of such a problem with gnome before though ... not sure how to proceed.
[16:43] <Pici> !root | sunru
[16:44] <bobertdos> dmi3on: Well, I suppose primary would be the best choice in most cases.
[16:44] <simotempler> if i have xp on a dual boot can i run that within ubuntu using vmware server by downloading vmware for ubuntu from the respos free of charge
[16:44] <dmi3on> ook
[16:45] <norber> bobertdos: you speak spanish?
[16:45] <flona> geirha: whats the command that fires the menu ? it seems i have something curropted from last night's shutdown
[16:45] <simotempler> or do i have to pay for vmware server
[16:45] <sunru> ubottu: sorry, I did try sudo, but it prompted for root password.
[16:45] <soundray> dmi3on: I disagree. Make logical partitions whenever you can
[16:45] <flona> geirha: is there any command to update everything ?
[16:45] <sunru> eh
[16:45] <geirha> flona: which files?
[16:45] <soundray> sunru: no, sudo prompts for your user password
[16:46] <flona> geirha: all gnome/system files or something. because i did export DISPLAY=:0 from one of the tty's and i'm able to launch things there
[16:46] <dmi3on> soundray, are you saying that both ext3 and swap i have to make logical ?
[16:46] <bobertdos> norber: Si quieres hablar, venga a #ubuntu-es
[16:46] <kenkku> how do I show files installed by some package with commandline tools (apt-*, aptitude)?
[16:46]  * dmi3on i lost :(
[16:46] <geirha> flona: Ok, try "sudo aptitude reinstall gnome-panel" perhaps
[16:46] <soundray> dmi3on: you don't have to, but it's fine if you do, and logical partitions are more flexible.
[16:46] <eross> after I set up and run an ubuntu filserver, should I shut anything down like gnome or kde to improve efficiency
[16:46] <dmi3on> ok
[16:46] <soundray> kenkku: dpkg -L packagename
[16:47] <kenkku> soundray: thanks. didn't think of using dpkg
[16:47] <simotempler> also can vmware sever run an xp installation already installed on a different partition or do i have to install it within vmware
[16:47] <soundray> eross: you can 'sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove' to prevent X from starting at boot.
[16:47] <Doska> hello all i get this error on installing GIT sudo: ./compiz-git: command not found
[16:47] <mgolisch> simotempler: mostlikely, windows will mostlikely bsod if booted in vmware
[16:48] <mrtimdog> simotempler: You can with virtualbox, so I'd assume there's a way with vmware although I've never used it.
[16:48] <geirha> flona: Also, it would be nice to get to run an fsck ... do you have a burner? You could try the gparted live CD which is just 50-60Mb, it should have fsck on it.
[16:48] <mgolisch> simotempler: you can however use vmware server to create a virtualmachine from a running windows instalaltrion
[16:48] <dmi3on> soundray, what is defference between lacation for new portition: Beginning or End ?
[16:48] <mgolisch> simotempler: or better said use vmware-converter to do so
[16:48] <eross> if i use samba, can any windows box see my harddrive or does it need to be formatted fat32/ntfs ?
[16:48] <dmi3on> soundray, what should i set for swap and ext3 ?
[16:48] <flona> geirha: i'm getting gnome-panel is not currently install so it iwll not be reinstalled message
[16:49] <simotempler> is virtualbox free of charge
[16:49] <eross> any windows box as in my internal network windows box
[16:49] <mgolisch> simotempler: yeah
[16:49] <flona> geirha: yes i have a burner, whats the URL to download the image?
[16:49] <Doska> am installing GIT for the lastest compiz verion
[16:49] <Doska> *version
[16:49] <romain_> bonjour a tous
[16:49] <simotempler> mgolisch - will it take up much space
[16:49] <eross> halo romain_
[16:49] <simotempler> to install
[16:49] <geirha> ubottu: tell flona about gparted
[16:49] <SpeCon> soundray: I did what you said. Actually there happend something different with that command. I saw the linux kernel loading screen. i mean the window were you can see .... Ok .... Ok etc but after that my screen was black again and the cd stoped
[16:49] <soundray> dmi3on: always start at the beginning of the disk and build it up towards the end. That's a rule of thumb -- there can be exceptions.
[16:50] <mgolisch> simotempler: what? virtualbox?
[16:50] <SpeCon> soundray: is this only with the linux ubuntu version ?
[16:50] <SpeCon> that problem that you told me
[16:50] <geirha> flona: gnome-panel should be installed ... Have you uninstalled something recently ?
[16:50] <flona> geirha: i tried to enable compiz i got a nerror saying i don't have a driver for my 3D grapgics card
[16:50] <romain_> quelqu'un parle francais ?
[16:50] <soundray> SpeCon: I don't know
[16:50] <Pici> !fr | romain_
[16:50] <simotempler> mgolisch - ya virtualbox
[16:50] <flona> geirha: yes i uninstalled evolution and few other evolution-* stuff
[16:50] <mgolisch> simotempler: no the installtion doesnt take much space
[16:50] <flona> geirha: i could removed by bby mistake?
[16:50] <mgolisch> flona: thats bad
[16:50] <eross> je regrette romain_, nous nes pas parles la fracais ici.
[16:50] <simotempler> cool cheers
[16:51] <geirha> flona: It might have had dependancies that eventuall uninstalled gnome-panel. Try "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop"
[16:51] <mgolisch> flona: that rips out gnome-control-center gnome-panel and a lot of other gnome stuff as those depend on evolution-data-server
[16:51] <dmi3on> soundray, i have 40Gb hard drive 2 GB ram, swap is 4G Beginning, rest is ext3 End, like this or backward
[16:51] <romain_> #ubuntu-fr
[16:51] <soundray> SpeCon: but I'm glad that all_generic_ide helped. Now you should boot again and select 'Safe Graphics mode' from the boot options. Remember, you still have to hit F6 and enter the boot option.
[16:51] <geirha> flona: It will probably reinstall evolution as well as everything needed to run gnome properly
[16:51] <simotempler> mgolisch - is it virtualbox-ose on the respos
[16:51] <soundray> dmi3on: I prefer to put the important things at the beginning, so I would reverse it
[16:51] <mrtimdog> flona: Try a: sudo apt-get install -f ubuntu-desktop
[16:52] <dmi3on> ook thx
[16:52] <flona> geirha: shouldn't i do apt-get install gnome first ?
[16:52] <mgolisch> simotempler: thats the opensource edition i think it doesnt have usb support or something
[16:53] <geirha> flona: ubuntu-desktop depends on alot of gnome-packages, so it will be installed along with it if it isn't installed.
[16:53] <simotempler> mgolisch - so that will let me run xp in ubuntu from my current dual boot and also still allow my dual boot to work as normal if i want
[16:53] <gnumm> does any one know if i can hear any song i want with the last.fm plugin in banshee?
[16:53] <ph8> hi guys, i'm looking to install a RAID5 array (4 disks (1 spare)) - can i configure this in the installer?
[16:54] <flona> i removed evolution because i wanted ubuntu to detect that my default email client is thunderbird, is there a way to make it understand that thunderbird is the default email client ?
[16:54] <soundray> ph8: you will need the alternate CD
[16:54] <soundray> !alternate | ph8
[16:54] <mgolisch> simotempler:i dont think so, windows is quite pricky about hardware chnges and in the vm you usualy have different hardware than your real host, so it might mess tsuff up
[16:54] <Saladin> legend2440, My upgrade went fine, by the way
[16:54] <Neophos> How do I install a multiple-CD game from ISO's within Wine? It won't let me unmount the CD and change it or reselect place to install from. Googling around has only led me to similar questions but no real answers. Any help?
[16:54] <Saladin> legend2440, I just finished it
[16:55] <ph8> soundray: I have it
[16:55] <ph8> at the prompt now!
[16:55] <ph8> can't see any obvious options though?
[16:55] <geirha> flona: System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications
[16:55] <legend2440> Saladin: very good. glad to hear it. so you got the permissions problem sorted out?
[16:55] <simotempler> mgolisch - better leave it so incase it screws my xp install up then
[16:55] <soundray> !raid > ph8
[16:56] <eross> I guess smbfs would be better than samba to use for my intranet, right?
[16:56] <Omar87> How do I install svn?
[16:56] <soundray> ph8: dang, doesn't exist yet
[16:56] <ph8> indeed :s
[16:56] <ph8> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto is the link that doesn't work
[16:56] <ph8> it is possible right?
[16:56] <flona> wooho my menus are back :D
[16:57] <soundray> ph8: have you considered doing a basic installation on a non-RAID volume and setup the RAID from within that?
[16:57] <flona> and this is why people should keep loving linux
[16:57] <flona> and its friendly community ;)
[16:57] <mgolisch> eross: ?
[16:57] <S4nD3r> DCOPClient::attachInternal.  How can I save a cookie in a file (using links, w3m, whatever)?
[16:58] <flona> :P
[16:58] <soundray> flona: okay, good to know, glad it works again. Well done to you and geirha
[16:58] <RageMachine> I need some help deciding between 64bit and 32bit, on a 1.9ghz dual core, with 768MB of ram (laptop)
[16:59] <soundray> RageMachine: are you going to run numbercrunching, videoencoding or other CPU-intensive apps?
[17:00] <RageMachine> not that I know of.
[17:00] <RageMachine> watching videos may be an option
[17:00] <jeek> Oh come on, I was poking fun at the friendly community. :)
[17:00] <kwtm>  /join #kubuntu
[17:00] <soundray> RageMachine: does it make you mad when you don't get the last drop of performance from your machine?
[17:00] <eross> oh nevermind, samba is not needed on client pcs if you use smbfs
[17:00] <EvilDennisR> !clone
[17:00] <RageMachine> soundray, not my machine. I know 64 has more overhead then 32. hence I wanted to know if it was still wise to go with 64 even with only 768 of ram
[17:00] <mgolisch> eross: smbfs is a kernel module to mount smb shares, wheras samba is a daemon which allows you to share folders on your linux box using the smb protocol
[17:01] <mgolisch> eross: yeah
[17:01] <RageMachine> soundray, the faster the better though.
[17:01] <soundray> RageMachine: how do you mean overhead -- that the binaries are slightly larger?
[17:01] <eross> can windows use those same drives or do the drives need to be in ntfs format
[17:01] <eross> thru samba
[17:01] <eross> oops did it agaijn, while looking at the samba server
[17:02] <RageMachine> soundray: overhead as in it uses more room because of 64bit addresses instead of 32
[17:02] <RageMachine> soundray on high-ram machines this is negligible, but I am not so sure for 768 of ram
[17:02] <Omar87> How do I install svn?
[17:02] <mgolisch> there are some advantages of 64bit but the main thing might be that it can address more memory which isnt needed at all with under 1gb of ram
[17:02] <mgolisch> Omar87: apt-get install subversion
[17:02] <soundray> RageMachine: I don't think that's significant, but I haven't thought or heard/read about this issue
[17:02] <EvilDennisR> Omar87: apt-get install subversion
[17:03] <RageMachine> soundray it was brought up alot with vista on laptops under 1gb of ram
[17:03] <soundray> RageMachine: anyways, one more question: are you going to need java in the browser?
[17:03] <RageMachine> soundray yep, though java works in 64 and 32
[17:03] <soundray> RageMachine: brought up with Vista? You must be young ;)
[17:03] <RageMachine> soundray says who?
[17:04] <Omar87> Thanks mgolisch, EvilDennisR
[17:04] <soundray> RageMachine: java does, but the browser plugins don't
[17:04] <RageMachine> soundray following tech trends and news shouldn't define my asge
[17:04] <RageMachine> soundray true
[17:04] <soundray> RageMachine: anyway, even that issue will go away in intrepid.
[17:04] <RageMachine> soundray yea i know
[17:05] <RageMachine> soundray but I need to figure out if the extra overhead is worth it for 64bit just to get more out of the processor
[17:05] <RageMachine> soundray is there any difference in boot times between 64 and 32?
[17:05] <soundray> RageMachine: here's the deal: I choose 64bit for every machine that supports it, and I've never had a problem since hardy, even with proprietary software like Adobe Reader, Google Earth and Skype
[17:05] <Hunter_> !aMSN not booting
[17:05] <RageMachine> soundray on how low-end hardware?
[17:05] <eross> as setting up samba on ubuntu to be a fileserver, i know what the hostname is but what is the domain name? This is for System->Administration->Network / General tab
[17:05] <ph8> soundray:  Just found the raid5 option in the installer o/
[17:06] <Hunter_> why aMSN not working^
[17:06] <soundray> RageMachine: I haven't compared boot times side-by-side -- it's difficult to do fairly
[17:06] <soundray> RageMachine: guess I could do it in VMware
[17:06] <mgolisch> eross: its the name of the local domain you are in
[17:06] <wols_> !doesn't work | Hunter_
[17:06] <RageMachine> soundray whats the low-end for hardware you've installed 64 on?
[17:07] <soundray> RageMachine: Turion single-core 1.6GHz with 1GB RAM
[17:07] <Hunter_> ahahah
[17:07] <RageMachine> soundray how exactly is that 64 capable?
[17:07] <eross> mgolisch - how do i find that out?
[17:07] <soundray> RageMachine: what do you mean?
[17:07] <RageMachine> soundray nevermind, how did it run?
[17:08] <mgolisch> eross: do you run a local dns server or something?
[17:08] <soundray> RageMachine: fine. It's my wife's laptop, she's happy
[17:08] <eross> this machine i'm setting it up as a fileserver and possible game server, apache is running
[17:08] <RageMachine> soundray well this is my sisters laptop, she's only letting my put xubuntu on it because it is supposed to be faster, lol. so i want as fast as I can get, thats why I was worrying
[17:08] <mgolisch> eross: just make up something then, like local or so
[17:08] <mgolisch> tahts what i use usualy
[17:08] <eross> ok
[17:09] <luciobrucio> join #ubuntu-it
[17:09] <atha> hello, im running ubuntu from virtualbox in vista, my lap has 3gb, 1.73 dual, and virtualbox is running with 1204 ram ,but ubuntu is still a bit slow.. how can i improve it?
[17:09] <Hunter_> !aMSN doesn't work
[17:09] <RageMachine> soundray think i'll go with 64 then if it seems sluggish once I cut the crap, try out 32
[17:09] <cerbianguard> hey question:  Is it possible for a linux distro (ie ubuntu) to force a local IP address of its own?  Because that seems to be happening on a server and i don't know how to disable it
[17:10] <soundray> RageMachine: I've stated my case. I don't think in this particular situation, it doesn't matter either way... Unless she wants to play Yahoo java games
[17:10] <pjvandehaar> atha: turn off things like widgits and panels.
[17:10] <atha> how?
[17:10] <mgolisch> or dont use vista...
[17:10] <pjvandehaar> atha: and desktop effects
[17:10] <mgolisch> :)
[17:10] <soundray> RageMachine: what are the specs?
[17:10] <RageMachine> soundray, the people over at #xubuntu seem to think 32.... dun dun dun! lol.
[17:10] <RageMachine> soundray i told you!
[17:10] <RageMachine> soundray 768 of ram, 1.9ghz dual core
[17:11] <maszlo> im looking for a some software to clean up my music collection.. searching google I have only ran into a couple apps for removing duplicate files.. can anyone recommend some software for fixing id3 tags, duplicate files, album art in a mass scale?
[17:11] <kane1> Hi the network manager is not connecting me to a connection What can i do
[17:11] <mgolisch> vmware didnt run on vista , vista toool far too much ram for itself, no idea about virtualbox
[17:11] <mgolisch> took
[17:11] <kane1> Hi the network manager is not connecting me to a connection What can i do
[17:11] <pjvandehaar> atha: in xubuntu i was able to set up the applications menu from right click. not sure how in ubuntu
[17:11] <soundray> RageMachine: it will be far from sluggish with Xubuntu. It would actually be fine with gnome.
[17:11] <RageMachine> pjvanderhaar: thats not available in gnome, its xfce only
[17:11] <pjvandehaar> oh
[17:11] <kane1> Hi the network manager is not connecting me to a connection What can i do
[17:12] <RageMachine> soundray, yes, but I just wanted to know if it would be more efficient as 32 or 64.
[17:12] <RageMachine> soundray also i prefer xfce to gnome in most cases anywyas
[17:12] <kane1> Is there a command to connect to a wireless connection
[17:12] <mgolisch> i like fluxbox better
[17:12] <pjvandehaar> atha: you could try just smaller applications- i use thunar in gnome and its great
[17:12] <hateball> maszlo: EasyTag
[17:12] <mgolisch> kane1: yeah you can setup the wlan connection using iwconfig/wpa_supplicant manualy
[17:12] <RageMachine> not a big fan of flux, to minimalist. though fluxbuntu isnt bad
[17:13] <soundray> RageMachine: well, in this case, it'll be your sister's preference that matters most
[17:13] <mgolisch> kane1: but using the networkmanager is much easier
[17:13] <kane1> it does not connect me
[17:13] <RageMachine> soundray xp will be on dual boot, so its more of finding which would be faster. guess I can only test it.
[17:13] <foobar1> okay I just set up a hard drive on another computer to replace a broken HD on a computer. When I swapt the HD out it can't connect to the internet. This is an exact copy. I'm thinking the networking isn't working. restarting the networking isn't helping. maybe the mac is different?
[17:13] <mgolisch> kane1: why?
[17:13] <dvoid_> ello :) anyone tried to setup a 3g connectin trough bluetooth
[17:13] <kane1> IDK it did before
[17:13] <soundray> RageMachine: and again, I don't think there will be a noticeable performance difference between 64 and 32 in this situation, except when she starts to encode video.
[17:13] <kane1> not i put my card in monitar mode and it stop doing it
[17:14] <mgolisch> kane1: sure your key is right? and that you selected the right otions?
[17:14] <RageMachine> soundray define encode
[17:14] <soundray> RageMachine: or calculate prime quadruplets
[17:14] <soundray> RageMachine: what's there to define?
[17:14] <mgolisch> kane1: ? you putyour card in monitor mode?
[17:14] <RageMachine> soundray Man! she does that like all the time! lol.
[17:14] <kane1> yes
[17:14] <mgolisch> kane1: why?
[17:14] <kane1> How can i disable that
[17:14] <linduxed> hey guys
[17:14] <kane1> IDK someone told me
[17:14] <nmcbride> mgolisch: to break wep/wpa why else? ;)
[17:14] <mgolisch> kane1: thats used for wardriving/sniffing
[17:15] <mgolisch> kane1: thats mostlikely why it doesnt work
[17:15] <kane1> oh i didn't know that
[17:15] <atha> sorry but how do i trun those widgits off (what are they?) and panels?
[17:15] <kane1> Can i disable it
[17:15] <AmberWillow> hi.. anyone here know any good programs to analyse problems with a harddisk under ubuntu? its reacting slow as hell
[17:15] <visf> hi just want to find out what is the common software for file sharing with mac?
[17:16] <kane1> Magolisch can you tell me how to disable it
[17:16] <kane1> Please
[17:16] <rainwalker> is it possible to specify different default printers when connected to different wireless networks?
[17:16] <linduxed> i get "problem with audio playback" from skype and i wonder if its pulseaudio again (which blocks sound cuz pidgin is on)?
[17:16] <mgolisch> kane1: yeah do sudo iwconfig interface mode managed
[17:16] <rainwalker> linduxed: pulseaudio should /allow/ sound from both, not block it
[17:17] <mgolisch> kane1: it should be back to the normal operation mode after that
[17:17] <kane1> So this si the command sudo iwconfig interface mode managed
[17:17] <pjvandehaar> atha: if you had widgits i think you would probably know.
[17:17] <linduxed> rainwalker: well ive had blocked sound because of pulse before
[17:17] <mgolisch> kane1: replace interface with the actual interface name
[17:17] <carrie> If im taring a lot of stuff, can i start sending the file via ftp, even if it hasnt finished taring (itll finish taring long before the ftp stops sending)
[17:17] <kane1> How
[17:18] <pablo_o0o> hi, is there any way to change mounted drive names in GOME? for example a have partition (NTFS) mouted to /media/D and the drive name on desktop or in computer:/// is "Volume 80 GB", i want to  rename it to just "D" or "Drive D"
[17:18] <linduxed> rainwalker: last time pulse couldnt handle pidgin and amarok simultaneously
[17:18] <kane1> How i can do that
[17:18] <pablo_o0o> in GOME*
[17:18] <mgolisch> carrie: i dont think so
[17:18] <mgolisch> kane1: what?
[17:18] <deever> re
[17:18] <AmberWillow> pablo: make sure the folder you want exists and edit /etc/fstab.. find the old moundpoint and change it to the new one most probably
[17:18] <rainwalker> linduxed: hmm...are you using the default pulseaudio setup? I had to follow a guide on the forums before it worked properly for me
[17:19] <deever> which package do i have to install to run a NX server?
[17:19] <kane1> How to change the interface to actual one
[17:19] <atha> how can i turn widgits off and panels? what are they?
[17:19] <Saladin> legend2440, yeah, I fixed it by adding a new user with the -m flag. Then added to the root group, and everything is now fine
[17:19] <pjvandehaar> atha: in sys>admin>appearance>desktop effects turn off effects
[17:19] <mgolisch> kane1: in the command replace interface with eth1 or whatever  your wlan interface is named
[17:19] <pablo_o0o> yes it exists in fstab at its mounted in fstab to /media/D
[17:19] <atha> its done alredy
[17:19] <pjvandehaar> atha: and turn off compiz if you use it
[17:19] <legend2440> Saladin: very good
[17:19] <kane1> So what is the command to replace it
[17:20] <atha> i dont know what is compiz..
[17:20] <pablo_o0o> i just wat to change display name of the drive
[17:20] <pjvandehaar> atha: then you dont have it
[17:20] <rainwalker> atha: compiz = desktop effects
[17:20] <mgolisch> kane1: in a terminal do sudo iwconfig, and note the name of the interface where it shows it has the wireless extension
[17:20] <linduxed> rainwalker: did that guide
[17:20] <pjvandehaar> atha: its advanced effects like mac has
[17:20] <kane1> its wlan0
[17:20] <atha> no i dont think i do
[17:20] <atha> ic
[17:20] <mgolisch> kane1: then type sudo iwconfig whatever_the_name_was mode managed
[17:21] <kane1> oh thank you
[17:21] <Saladin> legend2440: At least now I'm ready to get set up. And the upgrade only took about a half hour. Would have been better is my hosting company didn't take 12 hours to reinstall 6.06 after I screwed it up yesterday
[17:21] <rainwalker> atha: you know you're running compiz if there are shadows around your windows
[17:21] <Saladin> *if
[17:21] <AmberWillow> pablo: make the new folder first, then change it in fstab.. sothat it says /mnt/newlocation
[17:21] <soundray> mgolisch: difficult customer? :)
[17:21] <atha> any ohter tips on how to improve ubuntu "speed" running virtualbox(vista)?
[17:21] <AmberWillow> pablo: be sure that the /mnt/newfolder exists or it wont mount
[17:21] <caution> bonjour à tous
[17:21] <mgolisch> soundray: seems so
[17:22] <mgolisch> :)
[17:22] <Saladin> atha: to turn all effects off just type 'metacity --restart' into a terminal
[17:23] <asdf1> if I do lsof, and a software is using pcm, how can I free pcm from it without killing it?
[17:23] <atha> gives me unknown command
[17:24] <rraj_be> is there any application that i can use to vie web pages offline. . . That is. . .i have to download  an entire web page. . . When ever i click on a link of downloaded page it should open as its opening in internet.. . . . Is there any appplication like this
[17:24] <soundray> asdf1: you can't, unless that software has a facility for giving up the sound device
[17:24] <asdf1> soundray: :(
[17:25] <AmberWillow> anyone know of a good harddisk repair/analysation tool for ubuntu?
[17:25] <Kopfgeldjaeger> somebody familar with httrack here?
[17:25] <atha> saladin metacity --restart returns unknown command
[17:25] <soundray> !info smartmontools | AmberWillow
[17:25] <soundray> atha: it's metacity --replace
[17:26] <PaymentRequired> Anyone know where dlsym is in ubuntu's header files?
[17:26] <pablo_o0o> AmberWillow, ok i understand i've mount this partition to new folder at its mounted OK but on my desktop is still "Volume 80 GB" i just wat to change this name :/
[17:26] <Saladin> Ooops. Sorry, atha
[17:26] <AmberWillow> thanks ubottu
[17:26] <Saladin> And thanks for catching the error, soundray.
[17:26] <atha> do i have to do it each time i start ubuntu?
[17:26] <soundray> Saladin: always a pleasure ;)
[17:27] <justin_> ok, I know how to add different usplashed to my boot up, but when it come to the login splash, Im not sure how I change it. Can anyone help out or point me in the right direction?
[17:27] <mgolisch> does anyone know somekind of cmdline ssh connection manager? something in which i could predefine ssh connections(mostlikely only tunneling without actualy alocating a pseudo terminal from the server) and then start and stop those predefined connections?
[17:27] <soundray> AmberWillow: the bot appreciates your gratitude
[17:27] <pjvandehaar> atha: you dhouldnt need to- i think it restarts everytime
[17:27] <AmberWillow> lol
[17:27] <soundray> mgolisch: I think that functionality is already in ssh
[17:28] <atha> ive given virtualbox 1024 ram if i give it more will it help to run ubuntu smoothly...?
[17:28] <mgolisch> maybe thats allready too much
[17:29] <pjvandehaar> atha: depending on how much you care about speed and how much you know about computers you could try installing xubuntu-desktop in synaptic
[17:29] <mgolisch> maybe start perfmon and look if its swaping much
[17:29] <mgolisch> actualy that might be the cause of it running that slow
[17:29] <AmberWillow> pablo: on your desktop, is that a symbolic link?
[17:29] <atha> ill give it a try at 512
[17:30] <atha> and about xubntu i dont much only that is another version of ubuntu..
[17:30] <atha> i think..
[17:30] <pjvandehaar> it runs great with ubuntu
[17:31] <mgolisch> yeah its just ubuntu with xfce instead of gnome
[17:31] <mgolisch> its more lightweight
[17:31] <pjvandehaar> atha: i ditched it because of trouble with ff addons
[17:31] <pjvandehaar> gnome programs work fine from the moment you install i though
[17:31] <atha> pjvandeharr : you ditch ubuntu or xubuntu?
[17:32] <pjvandehaar> xubuntu
[17:32] <pjvandehaar> for ubuntu
[17:32] <otacon22_laptop> hi
[17:32] <pablo_o0o> AmberWillow, no it's native gnome volumes display, i turned it on in gcof-editor apps/nautilus/desktop/'volumes_visible'
[17:32] <PiRANiA> hi, does anyone know if turbo memory is supported bu ubuntu 8.04?
[17:32] <mgolisch> PiRANiA: whats turbo memory?
[17:33] <PiRANiA> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Turbo_Memory
[17:33] <PaymentRequired> Anyone know where dlsym is in ubuntu's header files?
[17:33] <pablo_o0o> AmberWillow, for example when i mount truecrypt volume to /media/E it just display E on desktop, and its OK
[17:34] <AmberWillow> pablo: no experience with that part yet pablo, trying to see what i can find.
[17:34] <porpoise> one of my windows is translucent for some unknown reason - how do i increase its opacity?
[17:34] <Guest83405> hello
[17:34] <otacon22_laptop> i've a problem with my pc. I'm come back from holidays and now it don't boot properly, on error messages i read that the ext3 root partition has problems and mount in read-only
[17:34] <otacon22_laptop> so i need to make a check of the root partition, with wich command?
[17:34] <otacon22_laptop> *witch
[17:34] <yaiba> hello everybody
[17:34] <LemonGhost> Saluit
[17:35] <raskolnikov1866> in which directory do I install flashplayer9 for epiphany?
[17:35] <Guest83405> I would like some help in configuring incoming email on my home desktop
[17:35] <ikonia> otacon22_laptop: what is the exact error
[17:35] <pjvandehaar> porpoise: are you using compiz? it has that
[17:35] <pablo_o0o> AmberWillow, thanks :)
[17:35] <deever> which package do i have to install to run a NX server?
[17:35] <ikonia> Guest83405: what client ?
[17:35] <mgolisch> deever: i think its freenx
[17:35] <Guest83405> ikonia: actually I would like email delivered to my puter
[17:35] <porpoise> pjvandehaar: yeah i probably do - i have hardy which i think has compiz. I don't really know how to deal with compiz though. I imagine there are new hotkeys to learn
[17:35] <Guest83405> so I have postfix setup
[17:35] <soundray> otacon22_laptop: can you boot from a live CD?
[17:35] <ikonia> Guest83405: yes, which client
[17:35] <mgolisch> deever: or use the packages from the nomachine website
[17:35] <spider> do you know if am i able to run MU ONLINE on ubuntu?
[17:35] <ikonia> Guest83405: oh you mean a mail server
[17:35] <raskolnikov1866> how to install flashplayer9 for  epiphani?
[17:36] <ikonia> Guest83405: are you on a DSL/cable connection ?
[17:36] <Guest83405> and I can send mail using mutt
[17:36] <Guest83405> yeah
[17:36] <ikonia> Guest83405: it's not advisable to run mail on a broadband host
[17:36] <Guest83405> I hear you
[17:36] <deever> mgolisch: E: Couldn't find package freenx
[17:36] <ikonia> Guest83405: cool
[17:36] <otacon22_laptop> soundray, yes
[17:36] <AmberWillow> pablo: uhmm.. this may sound silly, but have you tried rightclick, rename?
[17:36] <Guest83405> but its for like one or 2 emails that I send to myself
[17:36] <Gnea> !nx | deever
[17:36] <otacon22_laptop> i can't paste the complete error
[17:36] <pjvandehaar> porpoise: sys>preferences>advanced desktop settings
[17:36] <Marco> How does Terminal decide which shell to use.  I want to use zsh instead of bash (I have it configured and all, I just want to make it default)
[17:36] <ikonia> Guest83405: doesn't matter, more so if it's dynamic IP range
[17:36] <mgolisch> deever: hm its not in the repos then i guess
[17:36] <ikonia> Marco: its in /etc/passwd
[17:36] <Guest83405> its been static for about 2 years
[17:37] <Guest83405> :(
[17:37] <Guest83405> lol
[17:37] <ikonia> Marco: defualt shel
[17:37] <Gnea> Marco: chsh
[17:37] <soundray> otacon22_laptop: do you know the name of your root partition? like /dev/sdxY
[17:37] <ikonia> Guest83405: but its not static
[17:37] <Guest83405> yes you are right
[17:37] <porpoise> pjvandehaar: thanks
[17:37] <spider> do you know if am i able to run MU ONLINE on ubuntu?
[17:37] <Guest83405> but anyways just for theoritical purposes
[17:37] <otacon22_laptop> yes, soundray it is /dev/sda1 the ext3 root partition
[17:37] <Marco> Gnea, ikonia, I did that, and it works for tty1/2/... but not in Terminal sessions
[17:37] <pablo_o0o> AmberWillow, this option is inactive :/
[17:37] <Marco> do I have to restart X?
[17:37] <mgolisch> deever: i allways used the packages from nomachine.com it allways worked well for me
[17:37] <pjvandehaar> porpoise: theres loads of stuff in there to mess with. except for me, because i have a crap graphics card
[17:37] <Pici> Guest83405: Most Residential ISPs block the ports needed to run mail and http servers.
[17:37] <Guest83405> suppose I would like to set it up, i have postfix, do i necessarilly need a POP3 server?
[17:37] <Gnea> Marco: did you logout/login to X?
[17:37] <ikonia> Guest83405: your not going to do it so it doesn't matter
[17:38] <Marco> I'll do that now
[17:38] <Guest83405> i see
[17:38] <Guest83405> so port 993 is blocked?
[17:38] <atha> okay, ive changed the ram to 512 its looks like is runnig better... thx
[17:38] <ikonia> Guest83405: talk to your ISP
[17:38] <porpoise> pjvandehaar: it does look interesting, though i don't know how much use i have for eye candy. i don't really like jiggly windows, for instance
[17:38] <soundray> otacon22_laptop: the command from the live CD is 'sudo e2fsck -y /dev/sda1'. Make sure it's not mounted before you launch that.
[17:38] <Guest83405> but what if I forward port 25 can postfix receive email?
[17:38] <ikonia> Guest83405: talk to your ISP
[17:38] <AmberWillow> pablo: hehe.. it was worth a shot.. its weird though.. i have a volume mounted as well, but it doesnt show up here.. so cant test it, sorry
[17:38] <Guest83405> ok
[17:39] <deever> Gnea: ok, but there are no packages for 8.04?
[17:39] <pjvandehaar> porpoise: well, then theres loads of stuff to get rid of and speed up your computer
[17:39] <soundray> raskolnikov1866: 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree', then restart epiphany
[17:39] <atha> now to install xubuntu , i only need to go to synaptic?
[17:39] <porpoise> pjvandehaar: haha, i suppose :)
[17:39] <raskolnikov1866> thanks
[17:39] <pjvandehaar> atha: i think so. you'll want to install other stuff too
[17:39] <deever> mgolisch: may be i'll try these out, when i have no other option! ;)
[17:40] <porpoise> pjvandehaar: i think i will play with it just out of curiosity. It looks fun, and maybe there may be one or two effects that are actually useful...?
[17:40] <pjvandehaar> atha: go to xubuntu.com i think
[17:40] <pablo_o0o> AmberWillow, the same volumes are in computer:///
[17:40] <pjvandehaar> porpoise: try expose
[17:40] <Pici> atha: Its the xubuntu-desktop package, specific xfce support in #xubuntu
[17:40] <pjvandehaar> porpoise: i started using it on mac and really like it
[17:41] <Gnea> deever: it looks like not - you could try the 7.10 packages
[17:42] <atha> ok, lets see do i install it on top of ubuntu that is running in virtualbox or i install xubuntu in virtualbox..?
[17:42] <orgthingy> Hi!
[17:42] <orgthingy> how do I get linux mint menu in ubuntu?
[17:42] <porpoise> pjvandehaar: you mean expo? there's no expose
[17:43] <orgthingy> i like the "search" thing in linux mint menu
[17:43] <pjvandehaar> porpoise: ill look for it real quick
[17:43] <Pici> orgthingy: The gnome-main-menu package is similar
[17:43] <Pici> orgthingy: Its a panel applet.
[17:44] <orgthingy> so, what should i type in terminal exactly, Pici :D ?
[17:44] <pjvandehaar> porpoise: i think so. it seperates all the windows so you can see them all. like on mac osx
[17:44] <atha> ok, lets see do i install xubuntu on top of ubuntu that is running in virtualbox or i install xubuntu in virtualbox..?
[17:44] <Pici> orgthingy: sudo apt-get install gnome-main-menu
[17:44] <deever> Gnea: i have taken the ones from nomachine.com...;)
[17:45] <Ab3L> hello
[17:45] <orgthingy> Pici : then?
[17:45] <Gnea> deever: good luck ;)
[17:45] <Pici> orgthingy: right click your panel and add the applet.
[17:45] <orgthingy> ok :D
[17:46] <Schmackels> hello! :)
[17:46] <porpoise> pjvandehaar: i googled for it - i guess it's called "scale"? It's the one that shrinks all the windows and unstacks them so you can see them all at once?
[17:46] <pjvandehaar> how would i get thunar to be my default manager?
[17:46] <Schmackels> woops... fixing nick
[17:46] <porpoise> pjvandehaar: pretty nice
[17:47] <pjvandehaar> porpoise: if you're not worried about speed it fun to mess around with stuff like the cubes
[17:47] <schmackels> I need a little help with mplayer and it's win32codecs... is this the place?
[17:47] <raskolnikov1866> soundray: thank you... it works
[17:47] <soundray> raskolnikov1866: I'm glad
[17:48] <Saladin> Does anyone know if the Ubuntu knowledgebase (there must be one) has any info on the fact that 6.06 remote system isn't compatible with 8.04?
[17:48] <pjvandehaar> www.ubuntuforums.org

[17:52] <kane> Is there a command to connect to wireless network
[17:52] <kane> Is there a command to connect to wireless network
[17:52] <Scorp_> kane, do u want a terminal based comand ???
[17:52] <soundray> schmackels: sorry, I take it back
[17:52] <Twile> geirha: I don't know, probaqbly the newest one
[17:52] <schmackels> whoa
[17:52] <geirha> Saladin: VNC? I can't think of any reasons why that wouldn't work.
[17:52] <Saladin> Also, can you run a Filezilla server on Ubuntu?
[17:53] <geirha> Twile: try an older kernel from the grub boot menu
[17:53] <sarobat> at
[17:53] <zh> #ubuntn-cn
[17:53] <soundray> schmackels: I don't know how to fix this. Have you tried vlc instead of mplayer
[17:53] <Gnea> !repeat | kane
[17:53] <Twile> coz_ I see the Ubuntu loading screen right before the message
[17:53] <soundray> ?
[17:53] <coz_> Twile,  are you booting with any usb drives attached?
[17:53] <Vi5in> Hello
[17:53] <kane> Scorp yes
[17:53] <Vi5in> I have a perl script that I'd like to run on startup. How does one do that on ubuntu?
[17:53] <Twile> coz_ I had one but I removed it
[17:53] <kane> i am sorry guys
[17:53] <Twile> I'll try again
[17:53] <schmackels> yeah, I must use the win32codec for mplayer to get audio to work. vlc and totem play the file perfectly, without sound.
[17:53] <soundray> Vi5in: really on startup, or when you login?
[17:53] <Twile> See if I have the same problem
[17:53] <coz_> Twile, that usually is the cause of this
[17:54] <Gnea> Twile: can you omit quiet splash from the bootup sequence?
[17:54] <kane> Scorp are you there
[17:54] <redleer> how to check nvidia driver version on linux?
[17:54] <Vi5in> soundray: oops, my bad. on login! :)
[17:54] <Dillizar> dudes my mozilla isnt working what should i do
[17:54] <kane> Is there a command to connect to wireless network
[17:54] <Scorp_> kane, u need to be a bit more patient...
[17:54] <Twile> Gnea: I don't think so
[17:54] <kane> ok
[17:54] <soundray> Vi5in: System-Preferences-Session-Startup programs
[17:54] <Otacon22> Thanks soundray
[17:54] <coz_> Twile, and I would not boot up with that drive in the usb port and connect after reboot
[17:54] <soundray> Vi5in: make sure it's executable
[17:54] <soundray> otacon22: working?
[17:55] <Gnea> redleer: redleer dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep nvidia-glx | awk '{print $3}'
[17:55] <Twile> coz_: okay
[17:55] <Vi5in> soundray: yep, it's executable. i was just wondering where i'd put it
[17:55] <Otacon22> yes soundray
[17:55] <jvandehaar256> hey guys
[17:55] <Twile> I'll be back if I get the same problem
[17:55] <soundray> Vi5in: System-Preferences-Session-Startup programs
[17:55] <coz_> Twile, ok
[17:55] <pjvandehaar> aaaaaaaaand jvandehaar256 is stupid
[17:55] <kane> Scorp you got it :)
[17:55] <soundray> Vi5in: oh, you mean in the filesystem? /usr/local/bin for system-wide use
[17:55] <ph8> hey guys, i've read a little bit about not being able to boot to a raid5 array - any idea if that's true and i should create a little 'sys' raid1 array?
[17:55] <schmackels> let me double check the error i am getting and everything. brb
[17:55] <Scorp_> kane, iwconfig eth1 essid <ssid> key s:<key>
[17:55] <breakz> Yo, Ive got Ubuntu server installed on my amd 1600+ XP box, and everytime the uptime passes 20 days / 30 days, it gets "kernel panic - Not syncing - fatal exception is interrupt", whats wrong and what can I do about it ?
[17:55] <Scorp_> kane, i guess this sould work for you
[17:55] <Gnea> !abuse | pjvandehaar
[17:55] <soundray> Vi5in: for personal scripts, you could create a $HOME/bin
[17:56] <mandark> Dillizar; mozilla 3.0 is having a bug
[17:56] <jvandehaar256> pjvandehaar: you're not too straight yourself!
[17:56] <kane> What if it doesn't have key do this iwconfig eth1 essid <ssid>
[17:56] <Vi5in> soundray: ahh ok.thanks! but basically you go put it in system prefs->session->startup programs?
[17:56] <kane> But my network interdace in wlan0 i think
[17:56] <soundray> Vi5in: that's where you add it to make it launch on login
[17:56] <Scorp_> kane, try man iwconfig for more idea buot it
[17:57] <Vi5in> soundray: sweet, thanks a bunch!
[17:57] <lakis1982> hello .. i updated my kubuntu 8.04 kernel <IP_ADDRESS> to kubuntu 8.04.1 kernel <IP_ADDRESS> .... when i boot up my pc i select ubuntu 8.04.1 kernel <IP_ADDRESS> in the start menu and then it prompts me to login in dos enviroment ... and after the login it stays in dos enviroment .... what happened ???
[17:57] <deever> Gnea: works perfectly! ;)
[17:57] <Dillizar> mandark:  no my mozilla2 i dont use 3 and my ubuntu is fucked up i cant ooen some programs like amsn cuz of that
[17:58] <Gnea> deever: cool ;)
[17:58] <soundray> lakis1982: there is no 'dos environment'. How did you update the kernel?
[17:58] <Gnea> !language | Dillizar
[17:58] <lakis1982> from adept manager
[17:58] <nmcbride> soundray: I'd assume he means the command line.
[17:58] <lakis1982> i installed the generic <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:58] <soundray> lakis1982: can you boot to the old kernel?
[17:58] <SAngeli> hippu, I run Ubuntu Linux and use Mozilla Firefox. I have couple of websites where to accesses I have installed a certificate. Now I am migrating to Windows Vista. How to transfer those certificate so that I can connect via SSL?
[17:58] <lakis1982> yes i can
[17:58] <mandark> dillizar; u using which version of ubuntu
[17:58] <lakis1982> now i am with the old <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:59] <Dillizar> mandark: 8.04
[17:59] <nmcbride> lakis1982: dos environment = command line or cli for short :D
[17:59] <Dillizar> Gnea: ok :P
[17:59] <lakis1982> ok whatever
[17:59] <schmackels> Too many packets in the video buffer... and then the audio and video loose sync. This is a 1080p wmv file using mplayer and a ubu32 install with win32codecs
[17:59] <mandark> i suppose..the hardy is giving a problem wid firefox
[17:59] <mandark> i had the same problm
[17:59] <soundray> lakis1982: okay, something is missing from the new kernel that prevents X from starting. What video driver do you have?
[17:59] <lakis1982> the problem is that wehen i select the kernel <IP_ADDRESS> it does not show graphic enviroment
[17:59] <_Mario_Da_Penner> hello can anybody give me the german ubuntu server
[17:59] <jburd> What is Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1?
[17:59] <lakis1982> nvidia
[18:00] <soundray> !de | _Mario_Da_Penner
[18:00] <geirha> lakis1982: how did you install the nvidia driver?
[18:00] <schmackels> jburd: the latest release
[18:00] <lakis1982> it was installed automatically
[18:00] <jburd> Doesn't Ubuntu release every 6 months?
[18:00] <jburd> @ schmackels
[18:00] <mandark> dillizar; hardy is giving problems wid firefox..so me using epiphany
[18:00] <jburd> mandark: Try using Swiftweasel.
[18:00] <lakis1982> i went to hardware drivers and i checked a box and i enabled the latest nvidia driver
[18:01] <schmackels> jburd: major releases 6 months or so, it just went from 8.04 to 8.04.1 so no biggie, eh? :)
[18:01] <soundray> lakis1982: okay, here's what to do: log in at the command line and do a 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup'
[18:01] <mandark> jburd; is it better than epiphany
[18:01] <jburd> mandark: It's an optimized version of Firefox
[18:01] <soundray> lakis1982: when you've done that, 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start'
[18:01] <lakis1982> should i type exatly what you wrote?
[18:01] <jburd> mandark: And it does not use your current Firefox profile, so there should be no collision.
[18:01] <soundray> lakis1982: everything between the quotes
[18:01] <lakis1982> ok let me try
[18:02] <mandark> jburd; thanx buddy..i'll try it out
[18:02] <Dillizar> mandark: but some of the programs are set to use firefox and they cant work now and btw i cant remove firefox how can i fix my problem
[18:02] <jburd> Dillizar: what problem?
[18:02] <nmcbride> lakis1982: from the command if you do 'X -probeonly' and look for EE that will be your error.  so you know exactly what is wrong.
[18:02] <lakis1982> invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/gdm not found
[18:02] <Dillizar> jburd: like i cant open amsn
[18:02] <mandark> dillizar;  jburd has given me an advice 2 use swiftwease
[18:03] <geirha> soundray: lakis1982 specified kubuntu earlier
[18:03] <jburd> Dillizar: Does Pidgin not do what aMSN does for you?
[18:03] <lakis1982> what you mean ?
[18:03] <lakis1982> how to specify ?
[18:03] <soundray> geirha: ah, thanks
[18:03] <soundray> lakis1982: where are you right now?
[18:03] <jburd> Dillizar: And how does Firefox affect aMSN?
[18:03] <Dillizar> yes jburd
[18:03] <lakis1982> i typed the two commands you wrote
[18:04] <nmcbride> lakis1982: kubuntu uses kde, he gave u a command to use if you were running gdm which is usually found with gnome
[18:04] <soundray> lakis1982: KDE with the old kernel?
[18:04] <lakis1982> i did the first one
[18:04] <jburd> Dillizar: "yes"?
[18:04] <lakis1982> and when i type the seond and gave me the error i wrote you
[18:04] <jburd> Dillizar: You'll need to be more specific than that.
[18:04] <Dillizar> lol
[18:04] <nmcbride> lakis1982: because ur not using gdm :D
[18:04] <Dillizar> jburd: like i cant use offline msg
[18:04] <jburd> Dillizar: I can use offline messages with Pidgin.  I think the Pidgin plugin pack comes with that feature.
[18:04] <lakis1982> now i am in with kubuntu 8.04 kde 3.5.9
[18:04] <bry3n_> #ubuntu-fr
[18:04] <soundray> lakis1982: never mind the second command. Try booting to the new kernel now.
[18:05] <jburd> I don't use MSN, so I cannot say anything about the MSN protocol.
[18:05] <bry3n_> #ubuntu-fr
[18:05] <lakis1982> should i restart the pc nopw ?
[18:05] <soundray> bry3n_: /join #ubuntu-fr
[18:05] <soundray> lakis1982: yes
[18:05] <will00> i know on some laptops there is a way to log on using a built in webcam and face recognition, is there something like this for ubuntu?
[18:05] <lakis1982> hold on
[18:07] <mandark> jburd; isearched swiftweasel in my package manager...i didnt find it
[18:07] <Dillizar> 10x i will try
[18:07] <jburd> mandark: Google.
[18:07] <mandark> kk

[18:20] <schmackels> swiftweasel is noticably faster then firefox
[18:20] <lakis1982> soundaray ?
[18:20] <evariste> How do I configure OpenSSH so that when somebody attempts to connect to my computer, it prompts to ask for username and passowrd. Because at the moment, if one types ssh my.ip, then it automatically asks for the password of my root account.
[18:20] <schmackels> thx for that tip
[18:21] <soundray> lakis1982: when you did the 'sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup', did it give you an error message?
[18:21] <Gnea> evariste: that's just how ssh works. it assumes the username of the account in use.
[18:21] <lakis1982> no
[18:22] <soundray> evariste: use 'ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[18:22] <evariste> Hmm, but for example. My friend set up an SSH account on his computer for me, but it always prompts me for my username first.
[18:22] <soundray> lakis1982: did you install any other updates with adept?
[18:23] <Gnea> evariste: depends on the client you're using. putty will always ask for it.
[18:23] <FiZZiK> hmm ok guys i try to go to root using the command su in console but is there a default password i didn't set a password for it in installer, just a password for my current user
[18:23] <lakis1982> no
[18:23] <soundray> dmi3on: has it ever worked?
[18:23] <lakis1982> is there a ubuntu 8.04.1 kernel <IP_ADDRESS>   and  ubuntu 8.04 kernel <IP_ADDRESS>  ..   are there differences between the two ???
[18:23] <atha> can i stop pidgin from logging fro example "... left the room" (quit..)" "entered the room" server messages..?
[18:23] <Pici> evariste: it will 'forward' the username of the current local user to the remote server and use that as the login name. So if you are sshing as root, it thinks you want to login as root on the foreign machine.
[18:23] <Gnea> lakis1982: no, just 8.04.1
[18:23] <infinitycircuit> lakis1982, no they are the same
[18:23] <soundray> lakis1982: open adept and install all available updates. Then try booting to the new kernel again.
[18:24] <Pici> !root | FiZZiK
[18:24] <FiZZiK> oh sorry lol
[18:24] <evariste> Thanks.
[18:24] <lakis1982> what are the available updates?
[18:24] <toni> amsn  done sos
[18:24] <Bob_Dole> Got a question, how do I change boot order for OS's? such as if I want to boot windows before Ubuntu?
[18:24] <lakis1982> which ones?
[18:24] <ph8> Bob_Dole:  alt+f2 and run gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:24] <FiZZiK> well i had typed a command Pici, that said i had to be root in order to use it
[18:25] <kane> Why is connection so slow on linux ubuntu?
[18:25] <soundray> lakis1982: adept should tell you. Alternatively, close adept and run on the command line: 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
[18:25] <Gnea> Bob_Dole: edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and put windows as the first os
[18:25] <Bob_Dole> There used to be a GUI for it :(
[18:25] <ph8> Bob_Dole:  it's a bit technical but there's things like the default boot partition, so if you check towards the bottom where it's like windows (hd1,0) - then set your default boot partition to that (it could be hd2,1 1,3 etc.) - you should be away
[18:25] <lakis1982> ok i write now the command you gave me  :  sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[18:25] <ph8> make sure you know where your linux partition is though (e.g. hd0,0) in case you get into trouble
[18:25] <Gnea> there was? never seen/heard of it.
[18:25] <kane> Why is connection so slow on linux ubuntu?
[18:26] <bazhang> kane, its not
[18:26] <Gnea> !repeat | kane
[18:26] <Bob_Dole> Kane, your connection should be exactly the same
[18:26] <Gnea> kane: that's the third time i've had to remind you of that.
[18:26] <kane> its not
[18:26] <FiZZiK> kane: it is probablly because of a driver issue
[18:26] <Gnea> kane: once more and it won't be as pretty.
[18:26] <kane> sorry
[18:26] <lakis1982> Calculating upgrade... Done
[18:26] <lakis1982> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded
[18:26] <kane> But its slow on ubuntu
[18:26] <Bob_Dole> Then don't use ubuntu. or get a better ethernet card.
[18:26] <FiZZiK> kane: probablly a driver conflict
[18:26] <bazhang> kane, then there is a configuration issue; it is not inherently slower
[18:26] <lakis1982> so?
[18:27] <kane> So what i do to resolce
[18:27] <soundray> lakis1982: I don't know how to fix your problem
[18:27] <bazhang> kane, we need tons more info
[18:27] <lakis1982> ok
[18:27] <kane> It worked fine before
[18:27] <nmcbride> lakis1982: whats wrong now?
[18:27] <fyrestrtr> kane: change your dns servers and disable ipv6
[18:28] <kane> ok
[18:28] <lakis1982> is there a ubuntu 8.04.1 kernel <IP_ADDRESS>   and  ubuntu 8.04 kernel <IP_ADDRESS>  ..   are there differences between the two ???
[18:28] <lakis1982> which one should i prefer?
[18:28] <ikonia> lakis1982: 2.6
[18:28] <ikonia> lakis1982: there shouldn't be a 2.4 kernel used any more
[18:28] <lakis1982> i have kubuntu
[18:29] <lakis1982> sorry]
[18:29] <ikonia> lakis1982: no need to say sorry
[18:29] <lakis1982> is there a ubuntu 8.04.1 kernel <IP_ADDRESS>   and  ubuntu 8.04 kernel <IP_ADDRESS>  ..   are there differences between the two ???
[18:29] <ikonia> lakis1982: yes, I've told you 2.6
[18:29] <ikonia> lakis1982: one is exceptionally old
[18:29] <lakis1982> 2.6  ..  not <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[18:29] <wcchandler> Is it wrong that I refuse to update weekly because I have to recompile the my wireless driver :(
[18:30] <ikonia> lakis1982:  <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:30] <nmcbride> both kernel versions u wrote up there are the same the last time?
[18:30] <ikonia> lakis1982: the latest 2.6 kernel available in the repo
[18:30] <atha> can i stop pidgin from showing "...entered the room?" "left the room" and so...?
[18:30] <fyrestrtr> wcchandler: no one is forcing you to upgrade.
[18:30] <lakis1982> its more stable than 18 ?
[18:30] <ikonia> lakis1982: the latest ubuntu provides is the most stable
[18:31] <nmcbride>  is there a ubuntu 8.04.1 kernel <IP_ADDRESS>   and  ubuntu 8.04 kernel <IP_ADDRESS>  ..   are there differences between the two ??? <--- both kernels are the same from what ur writing?
[18:31] <soundray> ikonia: X won't launch when lakis1982 boots to the latest kernel
[18:31] <ikonia> soundray: ooh really, ati drivers ?
[18:31] <soundray> lakis1982: stick to the actual problem
[18:32] <soundray> ikonia: nvidia
[18:32] <rigga> ein deutscher hier?
[18:32] <brian_> My amarok deletes my podcasts each time I restart it. Anyone know how to fix that?
[18:32] <soundray> !de | rigga
[18:32] <ikonia> soundray: stock ubuntu - or 3rd party
[18:32] <nmcbride> like i already suggested do a 'X -probeonly' and find the reason
[18:32] <xeno99> Hi. If I do a sudo blkid, I see that two partitions /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda7 have identical UUIDs. Is this normal? I thought the UUID was supposed to be unique?
[18:32] <soundray> ikonia: he's on kubuntu and can't work out which drivers he got and how
[18:33] <ikonia> soundray: hmmmmm fishy
[18:33] <soundray> ikonia: sorry, *I* can't work out...
[18:33] <ikonia> ahh
[18:33] <ikonia> xeno99: have you cloned a partition ?
[18:33] <xeno99> ikonia, not that I know of
[18:33] <ikonia> xeno99: thats most odd then
[18:33] <macd> The save as dialog in firefox takes forever to show, or just flat out hangs FF, Ive purged and reinstalled FF, no luck.
[18:34] <xeno99> ikonia. If I had wouldn't the LABEL be the same ?
[18:34] <nmcbride> lakis1982: dude, do an 'X -probeonly' and get the error its giving you.  The error is after 'EE'.  tell me what that is.
[18:34] <ikonia> xeno99: I'd suspect so
[18:34] <mandark> jburd; i have downloaded..but i sont know how 2 strt the installation
[18:35] <jburd> mandark: Ah, well.  You could have added the swiftweasel repository to your software sources.
[18:35] <jburd> mandark: Anyway, you can still do that.  http://swiftweasel.tuxfamily.org/wiki/index.php5?title=Apt
[18:35] <fizzik> any of you use gdesklets?
[18:35] <xeno99> ikonia, I have one ext3 and 4 FAT32 partitions on the drive in question.  If I do a sudo blkid, I see that two partitions /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda7 have identical UUIDs. I have one ext3 and 4 FAT32 partitions on the drive in question. The FAT partitions are labelled DISK1_1, DISK1_2 etc. Partitions labelled DISK1_1 (/dev/sda6) and DISK1_3 (/dev/sda7) have the same UUID Is this normal? I thought the UUID was supposed to be unique?
[18:37] <mlLK> whats a good app for configuring mouse button short-cuts?
[18:37] <Gnea> tpmserver: it's silly to have a GUI on a server, but yes, it can be done.

[18:37] <fizzik> Gnea: remove the gui :P
[18:37] <Gnea> fizzik: install server :P
[18:37] <talcite> hey guys, if I wanted to specify custom bash behaviour, what file would I write to?
[18:38] <talcite> for my account only, not globally
[18:38] <Gnea> it's just as easy to configure. you can still run GUI apps remotely.
[18:38] <fizzik> Gnea: sudo apt-get install server :P
[18:38] <mandark> jburd..ya i opeend it...now how do i dd it
[18:38] <fizzik> omg 70mbs of stuff just to isntall azureus
[18:38] <Gnea> fizzik: let me know when you have a real solution :)
[18:39] <soundray> talcite: probably ~/.bashrc (see also the useful links in the topic to #bash)
[18:39] <fizzik> Gnea: it was just a joke, little humour?
[18:39] <talcite> soundray: thanks
[18:39] <jburd> mandark: Add the APT line on the link I posted for Hardy (if you are using Hardy)
[18:39] <Gnea> talcite: ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc
[18:39] <nmcbride> talcite: .bash_profile in ur home
[18:39] <nick200xp> ??
[18:39] <Gnea> fizzik: oh, i understood it. you didn't catch my humor in response? :)
[18:39] <tritecode> Is there a standalone application that displays audio/video file properties like container, codecs, bitrates, etc?
[18:39] <fizzik> Gnea: i get it now :P
[18:40] <anachoret> how do i restore to a fresh ubuntu install while preserving some of my files?
[18:40] <mandark> jburd..i got the apt line...now which tab 2 add
[18:40] <bmarley13> is there a way to set a default opacity for newly opened windows?
[18:40] <erUSUL> tritecode: file?
[18:40] <jburd> Third-party applications @ mandark
[18:40] <Gnea> anachoret: put /home on its own partition and don't reformat it
[18:40] <erUSUL> anachoret: back uop home?
[18:41] <tritecode> erUSUL: yeah like a .mkv or .avi
[18:41] <anachoret> Gnea: already got that going on, but what about GNOME settings, etc... that i would like to have reset?

[18:41] <mandark> jburd; is the apt line:     http://swiftweasel.tuxfamily.org/wiki/index.php5?title=Apt
[18:41] <erUSUL> tritecode: «file» is a command line app .... try « file your_file.avi »
[18:41] <jburd> mandark: No

[18:42] <xeno99> Hi. If I do a sudo blkid, I see that two partitions /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda7 have identical UUIDs. I have one ext3 and 4 FAT32 partitions on the drive in question. The FAT partitions are labelled DISK1_1, DISK1_2 etc. Partitions labelled DISK1_1 (/dev/sda6) and DISK1_3 (/dev/sda7) have the same UUID Is this normal? I thought the UUID was supposed to be unique?
[18:43] <soundray> nahoj: dmidecode might give you some information
[18:43] <parudus> i think pardus is the best distro
[18:43] <talcite> nmcbride: and if I write a custom bash_profile, will it overwrite the /etc/profile behaviour?
[18:43] <soundray> nahoj: run it with sudo
[18:43] <bazhang> parudus, then join their channel
[18:43] <anachoret> Gnea: if i nuke ~/.*, and reinstall ubuntu with a separate /home partition, do i get default ubuntu settings for gnome (for example) back, or .bashrc?
[18:44] <parudus> yes they have channel #pardus
[18:44] <parudus> try it
[18:44] <Gnea> anachoret: if you nuke your dotfiles, yes, they will be recreated from scratch
[18:44] <bazhang> that is offtopic here though parudus
[18:44] <parudus> ok but i really recommend people to try it
[18:44] <parudus> once
[18:45] <Gnea> parudus: seriously, your opinion on the matter does not count here.
[18:45] <bazhang> parudus, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[18:45] <parudus> ok
[18:45] <nahoj> soundray, nice, gave me a lot of information... =) think I will have to grep something to find what I am looking for... thx
[18:45] <animal> hi jemand da der sich mit knoppix auskennt ?
[18:45] <nmcbride> talcite: it should for ur user
[18:45] <anachoret> Gnea: when exactly?  i was under the impression that if you left /home/user/ on a partition, then reinstalled ubuntu using "user" as the login name, it wouldn't touch anything in that directory?
[18:46] <soundray> nahoj: what you're looking for is probably at the top of the outpu

[18:46] <Brucee> how can i play movie in .avi format in ubuntu hardy?
[18:46] <talcite> nmcbride: hmm... is it possible to append the behaviour onto the default /etc/profile behaviour?

[18:46] <bazhang> Brucee, turn off compiz
[18:46] <PupUser-0608a0> Hi,  I want to have a Glucose Monitoring download and print report program for a Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter.  Anyone know how?  or program name?
[18:46] <nparafe> i am new to ubintu and i would like to know the command to install a .deb file i have on my hard drive. Please pm Thank you for your time
[18:46] <kane> Scorp nothing shows up
[18:47] <Gnea> anachoret: it won't. you would have to explicitly remove the dotfiles before reinstallation.
[18:47] <bazhang> nparafe, what file
[18:47] <kane> how can i pm someone
[18:47] <nahoj> soundray, well, to many lines... the first 14 sections "disappears" ^ ^
[18:47] <nmcbride> talcite: what are u trying to do exactly?
[18:47] <bazhang> kane ask them first
[18:47] <kane> Scorph are you there
[18:47] <Gnea> nparafe: we don't pm, but: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[18:47] <soundray> nahoj: 'sudo dmidecode | less'
[18:47] <nparafe> thank you
[18:47] <Brucee> bazhang do i need to restart computer?
[18:47] <hemanth> how to slove  I wasn't able to locate file for the <name>package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package
[18:48] <talcite> nmcbride: add a few aliases, but not lose default colouring behaviour
[18:48] <nahoj> soundray, nice trick there... ;-)
[18:48] <wcchandler> My setup right now is 3 partitions - 1 60GB partition for Vista, 1 60GB partition for ubuntu and a 2 GB partition for swap.  I'm wanting to redo my setup to be 2 partitions of 30GB (for 2 different distros) and one of 90GB for my /home for both distros to use and a swap of 2GB.  What's the best way to maintain my data?  Use an external drive and copy/pasta?
[18:48] <bazhang> Brucee, no just alt f2 metacity --replace
[18:48] <fizzik> how do i mount my windows drive?
[18:48] <kane> Is it because i am using my wireless card for windows and ubuntu thats why i can't connect to a wireless network in ubuntu
[18:48] <acrousey> howdy all! I am trying to switch my system from an older low res screen to a newer (but not too new) screen. I am not having too much luck in the forums with resetting the screen res. I fixed the resolution so that it would work with the old monitor a few weeks ago, but i kind of forgot how to get in there. What are the commands again?
[18:49] <hemanth>  how to slove  I wasn't able to locate file for the <name>package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package
[18:49] <nahoj> soundray, got everything I needed there. thx m8
[18:49] <nmcbride> talcite: you could put them in the /etc/profile if you wanted and the change would be system wide.
[18:49] <anachoret> Gnea: then when are the dotfiles recreated?  i believe that when a new user is created, .profile for example is created for them.  but if i delete my .profile and reinstall ubuntu with a /home partition using the same user name, when does that .profile get recreated?  i thought it doesn't.
[18:49] <wolfsblut> hi, does anyone of you use awesome as your wm?

[18:50] <soundray> wcchandler: do a proper backup. It's good practice anyway, and if you do a drag-and-drop sort of thing, you'll never know if you've really copied everything.
[18:50] <afallenhope> bummer.. anyone know how to open chm files? Windows help files...

[19:00] <CURIOUS> hi
[19:01] <soundray> venkat_partha: you will have to reboot to recovery mode (hit Esc to see the grub menu, pick the second option), then run 'visudo' as root and undo your changes.
[19:01] <bazhang> kane set the ssid to broadcast on the router
[19:01] <CURIOUS> i'm new here
[19:01] <mbrigdan> anyone here know where ubuntu stores the programs it uses for the screen savers?
[19:01] <venkat_partha> soundray: ok.
[19:01] <kane> I am using neighbors wireless
[19:01] <bazhang> kane, then ask them to set it
[19:01] <venkat_partha> soundray: let me try
[19:01] <CURIOUS> hi
[19:01] <soundray> venkat_partha: when you reboot, it should be okay. Don't edit sudoers, it is never necessary.
[19:01] <rrmm> venkat_partha: or just type in shutdown now, that brings it to single user mode
[19:01] <afallenhope> anyone know another method of looking at chm files because xchm sucs lol.

[19:09] <HunterRequiem> hello, I have a compaq presario C700 that I just got wireless working when I installed ndiswrapper. now, the computer freezes randomly when the wireless is enabled.  can someone help?
[19:09] <CURIOUS> i just installed xchat-gnome 0.18 recently and i want to test it ;)
[19:09] <soundray> rrmm: don't know then, sorry
[19:09] <afallenhope> thanks legend2440 worked like a charm
[19:09] <bazhang> kane, go to the website paste.ubuntu.com
[19:09] <node357> CURIOUS, if you just want to chat, /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:09] <rrmm> soundray: the menu shows fine just when it starts playing it gets garbled and the sound cuts in/out
[19:09] <mlLK> rrmm, what distro?
[19:09] <legend2440> afallenhope: your welcome
[19:10] <rrmm> mlLK: ubuntu 8.04
[19:10] <redheat> kenkku, can I ask now?
[19:10] <kane> ok then what to fo
[19:10] <soundray> saxin: Ubuntu picks the best driver automatically. It doesn't have 3D support, bad luck. Things may get better at VIA now that Harald Welte is working there.
[19:10] <CURIOUS> سلام
[19:10] <kane> Do i do this on windows or linux
[19:10] <mlLK> rrmm, what are you trying to do?
[19:10] <soundray> rrmm: same with mplayer?
[19:10] <afallenhope> legend2440, although I'm running gnome so I used gnochm
[19:10] <saxin> soundray: OK. So I won't get any better drive? It's a bit laggy you see :-)
[19:10] <bazhang> kane then in terminal type ifconfig and paste that to paste.ubuntu.com   not in this channel but to that website
[19:10] <fizzik> man first time using ubuntu and i love how easy it is to isntall packages and love how it goes out and gets stuff for me
[19:11] <rrmm> mlLK: get my dvds to play so i can watch them, not all the fuzz and dots and garbled
[19:11] <rrmm> soundray: will install right now and check
[19:11] <d3miurge> Can anyone recommend a good unix system admin guide for begin, and intermediate?

[19:11] <mlLK> rrmm, execute that entire section
[19:11] <bazhang> kane then give us the link from that paste.ubuntu.com website
[19:11] <soundray> saxin: oh, 2D should be fine. Perhaps you should have a look, then, whether it's unichrome and whether the driver is active. First, what do you get from 'lspci | grep VGA'?
[19:11] <CURIOUS> کسی فارسی بلده اینجا؟
[19:11] <redheat> ok, since no one is answering me..can someone help me? my wireless network adapter won't connect to my wireless network everytime I restart my machine..

[19:15] <soundray> !repeat | fograven
[19:15] <bazhang> redheat, paste output of lsusb to paste.ubuntu.com (NOT here)
[19:16] <venkat_partha> soundray: for me it does not. I have to enable it ever time. Howerver, I am not sure. Is there any way that I can check if Firestarter is started when I logon ?
[19:16] <redheat> atha how do I do that?
[19:16] <mlLK> rrmm, try executing this script
[19:16] <redheat> the drivers are already downloaded..just don't know how to use windows wrapper?
[19:16] <atha> give me the exact model of your belkin
[19:16] <mlLK> rrmm, http://www.hildoersystems.com/index.php/home/62
[19:16] <soundray> saxin: no unichrome, then.
[19:16] <redheat> I already have the driver
[19:16] <redheat> it's this one
[19:16] <saxin> soundray: is that a good thing, or a bad thing?
[19:16] <bazhang> redheat, try ndisgtk
[19:17] <atha> yeap thats the one ndisgtk
[19:17] <rrmm> mlLK: I have done all those steps
[19:17] <redheat> where? in the termina right now? I'm not connected to the internet, I"m typing from my laptop which is running windows vista
[19:17] <soundray> saxin: neither. Do a 'grep -ci s3 /var/log/Xorg.0.log' and tell me the number
[19:17] <venkat_partha> soundray: I was trying to achieve that when I screwed up my SUDOERS file.
[19:17] <fograven> type in the terminal?
[19:17] <redheat> atha, baz are you with me guys
[19:18] <monostone> not connected to the internet??
[19:18] <atha> i have a belkin external usb and had to install ndisgtk with the drivers that came with the cd , its easy..
[19:18] <monostone> :O
[19:18] <mlLK> rrmm, read a book instead...?
[19:18] <bazhang> redheat, type baz then hit tab
[19:18] <rrmm> mlLK: well icould try and reboot
[19:18] <saxin> soundray: 6
[19:18] <rrmm> since it suggested that
[19:18] <atha> think so..
[19:18] <redheat> bazhang ok thanks
[19:18] <soundray> venkat_partha: well, screwing up sudoers is not the way to achieve it ;)
[19:18] <mlLK> rrmm, nah. maybe run all those commands again w/ aptitude's reinstall opt]
[19:18] <venkat_partha> soundray: :D
[19:18] <soundray> saxin: how about 'grep -ci vesa /var/log/Xorg.0.log'
[19:18] <bazhang> redheat, ndisgtk is the way to go here it seems

[19:22] <Kaushal> I have connecting to openvpn on ubuntu 8.04 through gui
[19:22] <Kaushal> where can i find the configs
[19:22] <dmi3on> i can fidn what to do there
[19:22] <dmi3on> i try to change menu.lst doesnt help
[19:22] <Kaushal> on the client side
[19:22] <atha> redheat go to synaptic and try to install ndisgtk
[19:23] <redheat> I have a wireless connection problem, but it has nothing to do with encryption, and usually move to WPA to stay on the safe side
[19:23] <soundray> dmi3on: you didn't answer my question earlier
[19:23] <sudobash> so whats up with 8.04 and automatix?
[19:23] <MermaidMan> How can i reclaim my 8GB of space from ext3?

[19:23] <redheat> ndisgtk..
[19:23] <soundray> sudobash: it's unnecessary
[19:23] <dmi3on> soundray, sorry what question ?
[19:23] <bazhang> sudobash, it does not exist
[19:23] <sudobash> sudo apt-get remove program
[19:23] <redheat> from synaptic got it..atha one more question what does it do?
[19:23] <ypopto_mpifteki> any known problems with ubuntu and wep key taking connection from a windows PC?
[19:23] <sudobash> i didnt think so
[19:23] <venkat_partha> exit
[19:24] <bazhang> redheat, it allows you to load windows drivers with a nice gui
[19:24] <venkat_partha> quit
[19:24] <soundray> dmi3on: has it ever booted successfully? What did you change?
[19:24] <sudobash> so WMA codec for 8.04 dont exist either I suppose?
[19:24] <atha> then put your belkin driver cd if u have one and use the xp drivers , else download the drivers from the web
[19:24] <venkat_partha> soundray/rrmm: Thanks for the help
[19:24] <redheat> atha, bazhang I already have teh drivers on my harddisk
[19:24] <soundray> sudobash: best place to get codecs is medibuntu
