[18:59] <in1> fde: i purged the VirtualBox installation, and it didnt remove two directories.. should i rm them manualy..
[18:59] <Assemblage> ok
[18:59] <anolis> lartza_, good luck setting it up.. support for it is seemingly next to none
[18:59] <in1> ?
[18:59] <Assemblage> bazhang
[18:59] <Assemblage> i type gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0x0C5A2783 ; gpg --export -a 0x0C5A2783 | sudo apt-key add -
[18:59] <i-hope-this-name> negge: alright, any particular reasoning there? not made by a convicted murderer? =P
[18:59] <Assemblage> and after apt-get update
[18:59] <Assemblage> and it solve the problem
[18:59] <syk> i installed emerald but when i open emerald and manager and click the themes nothing happens and ive done tried emerald --replace
[18:59] <Assemblage> =)
[18:59] <fde> in1: Yes, there should be no traces when you install the new package, else it won't install probably.
[19:00] <lartza_> anolis: I'm on desktop pc, I asked could I remove all info about it form xorg.conf (lol)
[19:00] <in1> fde: and what did you mean that i should check that virtualbox-ose was intalled in deps?
[19:00] <bazhang> Assemblage, that was it nice going
[19:00] <syk> nm i got it
[19:00] <i-hope-this-name> in the 8.04 installer, how can i define a mountpoint for a partition without formatting the drive?
[19:00] <negge> i-hope-this-nam1 I don't really know of any advantages/disadvantages of different filesystems, I use ext3 myself and atleast I don't see any reason why someone WOULDN'T use ext3
[19:00] <Dawson> Devilsadvocate, the hardware is pretty standard. I know Ubuntu runs on this machine because I had it going previously. It crashed with me, so I formatted the drive and am now trying to install
[19:00] <il_bonsai> someone can tell me how to install mailserver on ubuntu server 7.10?
[19:00] <Dawson> Also tried reburning the iso, no luck
[19:00] <i-hope-this-name> negge: alright then, sounds good.
[19:01] <negge> i-hope-this-nam1 if you have an empty partition then why don't let it format it?
[19:01] <fde> in1: It will be if you do the command I said (aptitude vs apt-get) ... the modules recommend the binaries, but don't depend... so you'd have to install the GUI and modules seperately via synaptic or apt-get
[19:01] <negge> if it's already formatted and empty you should just add / to "Mount point"
[19:01] <i-hope-this-name> negge: it's not empty, all my movies are on there
[19:01] <negge> i-hope-this-nam1 aah
[19:01] <anolis> anyone know why firefox won't load pages anymore?
[19:01] <negge> what exactly are you trying to do i-hope-this-nam1 ?
[19:01] <Twigathy> ]/w 16
[19:01] <Assemblage> bazhang a tip .. in xchat what is the command to open a new server i know that in irc is /server -m (name of the server)
[19:01] <Twigathy> bad.
[19:01] <babolat> !server | il_bonsai
[19:01] <negge> anolis problem with internet connection?
[19:01] <Assemblage> but in xchat don't work
[19:01] <Assemblage> you know?
[19:01] <fde> Assemblage: /newserver server
[19:01] <anolis> negge,  thats definately not the problem lol
[19:02] <Assemblage> fde thanks
[19:02] <Assemblage> :)
[19:02] <devilsadvocate> Dawson, could you run a media check once, just to make sure the cd is fine. and some things did break in hardy. my resolution is terribly messed up right now, and i dont know what else changed. maybe you had an older version running previously (which would make this something that needs to be fixed in hardy)
[19:02] <i-hope-this-name> negge: the part that gets me is that when i try to define a mount point (this is with 8.04's GUI installer), i have to choose some filesystem from the "use as" dropdown list in order to un-grey out the mount point option
[19:02] <Dawson> Devilsadvocate, what's the best way to run a media check?
[19:02] <negge> Assemblage press Ctrl + T then connect to the new server with /server
[19:02] <erlend_> hey guys...
[19:02] <joe__> .
[19:02] <i-hope-this-name> !ext3
[19:02] <joe__> #marilia
[19:02] <in1> fde: cool.. im gonna run this command: 'sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose-modules-generic', whats aptitude though?
[19:03] <i-hope-this-name> !reiser
[19:03] <devilsadvocate> Dawson, its one of the boot options
[19:03] <negge> i-hope-this-nam1 are you simply trying to mount a partition or what?
[19:03] <i-hope-this-name> !thanks
[19:03] <fde> in1: aptitude is basically apt-get-ng  :)
[19:03] <il_bonsai> ubottu i tried to install the ddovecot but theres a little problem couase its package is no longer available
[19:03] <joe__> what a hell ?!?!?!
[19:03] <negge> or do you want to install Ubuntu on the same partition as your movie files?
[19:03] <fde> !attitude | joe__
[19:03] <i-hope-this-name> negge: nah, simply trying to mount it
[19:03] <il_bonsai> 10x ubottu
[19:04] <il_bonsai> i apriciate that you triedto help me
[19:04] <joe__> módafocker on the rocks!
[19:04] <negge> i-hope-this-nam1 then you're not supposed to use the installer
[19:04] <douglas> Where do you change the system fonts on ubuntu?
[19:04] <erlend_> I have a cd and a usb-stick with the exact same system files on them...now when I start up with the cd, everything starts correct, but when I put in the usb-stick, it says remove the disk or insert a system disk... Any ideas why? They are 100% the same files...
[19:04] <i-hope-this-name> negge: i fully realize that i could do this after install, but fstab isnt my friend
[19:04] <Dawson> Devilsadvocate, am I looking under F4 or F6?
[19:04] <in1> fde: ok.. im gonna look in 'man' for more info about the command.. Thanks alot fde, you've been a grrrrreat help for me!
[19:04] <douglas> and where can i put a gdm theme/
[19:04] <i-hope-this-name> negge: why's that?
[19:04] <Assemblage> ok
[19:04] <fde> joe__: Instead of cursing and adding noise to the channel, why don't you explain what's wrong, and we'll see if we can assist you?
[19:04] <i-hope-this-name> douglas: ~/.themes ?
[19:04] <negge> i-hope-this-nam1 you have to do it after install, the installers partitioner is only for partitioning the partitions you want to install Ubuntu to (the root partition and swap)
[19:04] <fde> in1: more than welcome  :)
[19:04] <devilsadvocate> Dawson, in the main menu. there should be start or install ubuntu, safe graphics mode, and somewhere down there check media for defects
[19:04] <negge> i-hope-this-nam1 if you don't like manually editing /etc/fstab you can download pysdm, it's a GUI for editing fstab
[19:04] <i-hope-this-name> negge: ah-so. so... just define my / and /home?
[19:05] <test3r> Hello! I am having a problem with an application after using the "Upgrade Distro" button inside the upgrades. Can someone help? I can't get PAN to load up- it says it's trying to construct some thing that does not exist obviously and fails. I have tried re-install, too.
[19:05] <i-hope-this-name> negge: pysdm, ill jot that down. thanks
[19:05] <negge> i-hope-this-nam1 yeah
[19:05] <negge> just make sure the partition you're installing is empty 'cause the installer will reformat the one you choose to install Ubuntu to
[19:06] <Virtue> fde, in order to backup system with duplicity, I need to type source as "/" ?
[19:06] <i-hope-this-name> negge: it will write over / ONLY, correct?
[19:06] <Virtue> fde, or /dev/sda1 ? :]
[19:06] <Dawson> Devilsadvocate, I run into the same problem. Entering "Check CD for defects", it gives me a Starting Linux Kernel box, goes up to 67%, and then hanges again
[19:06] <Dawson> *hangs
[19:06] <i-hope-this-name> negge: i have my /home on another partition... i'd like to define that one right now, so i can log in like usual, but i dont want to lose any data therein
[19:07] <negge> i-hope-this-nam1 I don't know if that's possible with the GUI installer
[19:07] <fde> Virtue: I think either, I always use the former though.
[19:07] <keito_> is there anyone in here running the 64-bit version of ubuntu 8.04?
[19:07] <phoenix5002> is it ok to ask wine questions here?
[19:07] <danbhfive> i-hope-this-name: your home wont loose anything, unless you choose to have it formatted
[19:07] <bullgard4> How to install Mini-Commander?
[19:07] <Virtue> fde, okay thankee! :]
[19:07] <i-hope-this-name> negge: crap. so just install like normal, then use pysdm or gedit fstab to use my old home folder?
[19:07] <i-hope-this-name> keito_: on the livecd right now, planning to install
[19:08] <devilsadvocate> Dawson, i afraid im out of possible solutions :(
[19:08] <Dawson> Devilsadvocate, I was afraid of that. :( Any idea where to go next?
[19:08] <i-hope-this-name> danbhfive: alright
[19:08] <negge> i-hope-this-nam1 yes install normally
[19:08] <fde> test3r: I think it's a sign that you need to try liferea ... so much cleaner... although your needs might be too much for it?
[19:08] <danbhfive> i-hope-this-name: if you set the mount point as /home during installation, you wont need to set it up later in fstab
[19:08] <keito_> i-hope-this-name: can you check if this gets kinda corrupted? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/229002
[19:08] <negge> then you just symlink your /home partition to your /home folder
[19:08] <Assemblage> one question is possible to change the display of the hd inside ubuntu
[19:09] <negge> keith80403 I'm running it
[19:09] <Assemblage> instade apear
[19:09] <Assemblage> home..etc...
[19:09] <fde> test3r: Failing that, only answer I have is rm -r .pan an start from scratch again.
[19:09] <i-hope-this-name> is there a pastebin for images, or should i just use mediafire or something?
[19:09] <negge> oops wrong nick
[19:09] <Assemblage> apear like in mac
[19:09] <Assemblage> applications...
[19:09] <Assemblage> system
[19:09] <negge> keito_ I'm running 64-bit hardy
[19:09] <pac1> model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E8400  @ 3.00GHz but proc/cpuinfo shows cpu MHz		: 2000.000 why would that be?
[19:09] <Assemblage> ?
[19:09] <devilsadvocate> Dawson, you could try another CD, or maybe even with another version. see if its an 8.10 specific issue. you could also try the alternate cd, although im doubful that will solve it
[19:09] <danbhfive> !enter > Assemblage
[19:09] <Dawson> Devilsadvocate, the alternate CD install is off the Ubuntu website?
[19:09] <phoenix5002> I have a wine question.  Some games run just find in wine, and all the graphics run at a good speed, except the mouse moves slow.  Particularly in menus, all the buttons and effects run smoothly but the mouse is choppy.
[19:09] <Assemblage> !enter
[19:10] <devilsadvocate> Dawson, no. it has packages instead of the live cd
[19:10] <sparky01> im having a wierd problem with X
[19:10] <devilsadvocate> the old style install
[19:10] <i-hope-this-name> keito_: that page glitches out completely for me.
[19:10] <danbhfive> phoenix5002: try #wine
[19:10] <phoenix5002> danbhfive: thanx
[19:10] <imaginativeone> how do I make Sunday the first day of the week in korganizer?
[19:11] <pac1> sparky01, all x problems are wierd, what's your's...
[19:11] <Dawson> Devilsadvocate, where do I get it from / what do I do in terms of the Alernate CD?
[19:11] <Dawson> *Alternate
[19:11] <danbhfive> imaginativeone: try #kde or #kubuntu
[19:11] <sparky01> pac1, I have the nvidia geforce 8800gt with the Nvidia proprietary driver.
[19:11] <erlend_> how do I congigure my bios so it recongizes usb-sticks as a valid boot unit?
[19:12] <sparky01> pac1, and like around ever 10 reboots it doesn't boot normally and goes to Low Graphics mode
[19:12] <pac1> sparky01, I have the nvidia geforce 8400GS with the nvidia propietary drive.
[19:12] <sparky01> pac1, it then overwrites my original xorg.conf
[19:12] <devilsadvocate> Dawson, you can get it from the website. it should be right next to the one you downloaded last time. again, i very highly doubt it will solve your issue
[19:13] <BluR> I'm doing a do-release-upgrade and there are new configuration files provided by the package maintainers.  I have the option to accept theirs or keep mine.  Is there any way to merge the two instead?
[19:13] <Dawson> Devilsadvocate, thank you so much anyways. What would you do, in this situation?
[19:13] <Amonxz> join #ubuntu-es
[19:13] <i-hope-this-name> danbhfive negge: here's what i'm worried about: http://www.mediafire.com/?zdbkmeneb3w
[19:13] <i-hope-this-name> why is it asking me about a "new partition size" and "use as"? (the partition in question is my old /home, sdc3, which i want to keep.)
[19:13] <devilsadvocate> Dawson, bug someone on irc :P
[19:13] <sparky01> pac1, then I try to set it back to the basic X config by going to recovery mode and it works, but when I try to turn on the Nvidia driver again it never works.  Keeps puttin gme in low graphics mode where the screen is all blurry and jibberish
[19:13] <il_bonsai> someone can help to install a web server pls
[19:13] <pac1> sparky01, that is weird.  when it does it, grab Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old and compare them.
[19:13] <who_> my display is really messed up and when i try to change the screen resolution it says
[19:14] <Dawson> Devilsadvocate, any suggestions on who to talk to?
[19:14] <SeaPhor> sparky01, i have the 8600 and tried at first to use the nvidia linux drvs, same issue you're having , i removed them and just use the restricted drvrs and all is well
[19:14] <sparky01> pac1, my question is WHY Its doing it at all
[19:14] <negge> i-hope-this-nam1 what filesystem does the partition use?
[19:14] <i-hope-this-name> ext3
[19:14] <babolat> il_bonsai: you can just ask your question. and server support there -->#ubuntu-server
[19:14] <danbhfive> i-hope-this-name: because you can change it if you want to.  Just procede
[19:14] <connor> hi everyone
[19:14] <connor> #conky
[19:14] <pac1> sparky01, I don't know. but that's where i'd start.
[19:14] <i-hope-this-name> negge: ext3.
[19:14] <negge> i-hope-this-nam1 just click Ok then
[19:14] <who_> The X Server does not support the XRandR extension.  Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available.
[19:14] <devilsadvocate> Dawson, not really. usualy someone here can atleast point you to the source of the problem. which version of ubuntu did you have previously?
[19:14] <i-hope-this-name> danbhfive: alright... this is more of me confirming that it's ext3 than setting up a format, correct?
[19:14] <sparky01> SeaPhor, I am using those and its giving me the same problem
[19:14] <phuz> hello, does anybody here speak gentoo? what is the util that performs rc-update?
[19:14] <sidewalk> what is the new bittorrent client in ubuntu called?
[19:15] <babolat> sidewalk: hardy defaults to transmission
[19:15] <i-hope-this-name> sidewalk: transmission, but i like deluge better myself
[19:15] <Dawson> Devilsadvocate, the same version I was running prior, Hardy Heron (8)....
[19:16] <sidewalk> babolat: thanks
[19:16] <tonymath> phuz try asking your question on the #gentoo channel. It's on this IRC too.
[19:16] <BluR> How do I merge a new configuration file that's being updated through do-release-upgrade rather than having to choose between mine or the new one?
[19:16] <keito_> i-hope-this-name: thanks for testing
[19:16] <esperegu> any howto for post-install install tips :-)
[19:16] <esperegu> ?
[19:17] <sidewalk> i-hope-this-name: why do you prefer deluge?
[19:17] <erlend_> do I have to configure my usb-stick in some special way in order for it to be regarded as a bootable unit?
[19:17] <Azenis> I kinda have a problem with imagemagick's mogrify : "mogrify: no decode delegate for this image format `ScreenShot0000.jpg'."
[19:17] <keito_> negge: could you also please check if the page gets corrupted on your install? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/229002
[19:17] <danbhfive> BluR: does it give you the option to?  maybe you should just backup your config file, and let the updater replace,    for now,   then worry about merging later
[19:17] <opop> hai
[19:17] <i-hope-this-name> sidewalk: it's just like it better. it's a nice mix between the sparse layout of transmission and the clusterfcsk of things like azereus
[19:18] <BluR> danbhfive: no it isn't giving me that option.  The only issue with that is, the conf file is ssh_config and I'm worrying I won't be able to ssh back in after the changes
[19:18] <i-hope-this-name> keito_: is it corrupted for you, too? have you tried looking at it in epiphany or konqueror?
[19:18] <bazhang> language please i-hope-this-name
[19:18] <phuz> tonymath: i did :) i want to control initscripts. which runlevel which app runs at etc
[19:18]  * i-hope-this-name nods. sorry
[19:18] <connor> #compiz
[19:18] <phuz> in gentoo it is `rc-update add foo default`

[19:18] <Oddrose> Hi! I just got a new HP-laptop and I installed Ubuntu on it and eveything works fine except that I can't use the built-in wireless network card. The card is: Intel Pro/Wireless 802.11 a/b/g, Broadcom 802.11 b/g
[19:19] <danage> how do i add my user to a certain group
[19:19] <kei-clone>  i'm having trouble mounting external devices after upgrading to hardy, like usbs, ipods, and external HDs, can anyone help me out?
[19:19] <keito_> i-hope-this-name: i was the one that pasted the characters that corrupted the page, it's been a problem for me since hardy was still in development. it seems to affect all applications, not only gtk
[19:19] <Oddrose> Do you think I can make it work?
[19:19] <danbhfive> BluR: i dont think it will kill any running processes, maybe you should just keep yours
[19:19] <Amonxz> how can i install a .bin in ubuntu hardy
[19:19] <babolat> !wireless | kei-clone
[19:19] <marcel_> hi. i've upgraded from hardy to gutsy and now my routed xen domUs  can't access the net. are there any known bugs?
[19:19] <Dawson> Devilsadvocate; those acpi commands you suggested be put in, do they need to be all at once, or should I try them one at a time?
[19:19] <danbhfive> BluR: but I know nothing more, sorry
[19:19] <i-hope-this-name> keito_: very strange. does it affect any other webpages?
[19:19] <BluR> no prob, thanks
[19:20] <keito_> yeah, it affects anything if those characters are written
[19:20] <devilsadvocate> Dawson, what is usually done when you dont know whats wrong is thrwo them all in. if it works, then remove them one at a time
[19:20] <kei-clone> babolat: eh, i wasn't asking about wireless
[19:20] <i-hope-this-name> keito_: wow. what characters are these, and is there a workaround?
[19:20] <imaginativeone> how do I make an icon on my desktop for korganizer?
[19:21] <DeFirence> does anyone know of a web gui that can control multiple ppp connections for linux?
[19:21] <Dawson> Devilsadvocate; alright, I'll keep tinkering with it in the hopes that something will give. Thank you so much for your help though.
[19:21] <i-hope-this-name> danbhfive negge: alright, installing now. thanks for your help!
[19:21] <keito_> i-hope-this-name: it seems to be some japanese characters mostly, but i have seen it happen on english websites too, so i think there's more to it
[19:21] <JewStyleKungFu> I'm new to linux, but I could swear in the past that I had typed "sudo apt-get install" followed by an application and it worked, but now it's giving me a syntax error
[19:21] <babolat> kei-clone: sorry.. wrong nick.. was intended for Oddrose.. have u edited your fstab, kei-clone?
[19:21] <devilsadvocate> Dawson, sorry i couldnt be of more help
[19:21] <bazhang> JewStyleKungFu, what error
[19:21] <imaginativeone> how do I make an icon on my desktop for korganizer?
[19:21] <negge> i-hope-this-nam1 np
[19:22] <i-hope-this-name> danbhfive negge: also, switching over from i386 7.04 to x86_64 8.04 isnt going to give me too much trouble if i keep my /home around and reinstall all my apps, correct?
[19:22] <negge> keito_ I'm not going to install anything so I can't check
[19:22] <node357> imaginativeone, drag and drop the menu entry and select copy here
[19:22] <Dawson> Devilsadvocate, no worries. I'll keep pestering the room. :-P
[19:22] <JewStyleKungFu> it says SyntaxError: invalid syntax and points to the first "t" in apt-get
[19:22] <i-hope-this-name> keito_: weird. a font glitch?
[19:22] <blackvd> what's the package I need to install to have mp3 playback in exaile? can't find it to save my life.
[19:22] <negge> i-hope-this-nam1 I'm not sure but I don't see why problems would arise
[19:22] <keito_> negge: you don't need to install anything. if you visit the page and it looks corrupted, that's it
[19:22] <bazhang> blackvd, ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:22] <in1> fde: hey... im trying to use the VirtualBox.. now i have an unused partition that i want to use for this installation of xp.. but its not located on the list given to me...
[19:23] <danbhfive> i-hope-this-name: I don't know, but amd64 is very buggy, I suggest against it
[19:23] <sparky01> pac1, that makes no sense.  It seems to be right on the old one but it doesnt work.  and the weirder think is that it changed it after working for 10 boots.  seems like a bug
[19:23] <keito_> i-hope-this-name: it might be something about the fonts, i've seen them behave differently from what they used to
[19:23] <kei-clone> babolat: no i have not edited my fstab recently
[19:23] <i-hope-this-name> danbhfive: oh. it is?
[19:23] <Dawson> Can anyone help out; having trouble installing Ubuntu 8, I run off the CD and it loads the Linux Kernel up to about 67% and then hangs on me?
[19:23] <negge> keito_ it's all messed up
[19:23] <Amonxz> can some one tell me how to install a .bin file?
[19:23] <bazhang> Dawson, did you md5sum the iso
[19:23] <danbhfive> i-hope-this-name: yes
[19:23] <babolat> kei-clone: you are trying to automount a partition, right?
[19:24] <i-hope-this-name> Dawson: are you booting with any usb devices plugged in? if so, try unplugging them and rebooting
[19:24] <JewStyleKungFu> Dawson, last time I had that problem is a bad CD
[19:24] <keito_> negge: ok, thanks. then it should be properly confirmed now.
[19:24] <kei-clone> no i'm trying to mount external devices
[19:24] <LtCmdrWrf> Hello!
[19:24] <LtCmdrWrf> Any INdians around?
[19:24] <kei-clone> babolat: including external partitions, but also usb drives and ipods
[19:24] <EspenBe> Amonxz: if you're not able to run the file, change permissions so that it is executable for you.  Then just run it as "./filename.bin"
[19:24] <Dawson> i-hope-this name; all usb's are unplugged. Bazhang, I ran md5sum over the iso, it verified
[19:24] <in1> fde: you here budd?
[19:24] <DeFirence> does anyone know of a web gui that can control multiple ppp connections for linux?

[19:24] <kei-clone> babolat: none of those mount anymore when i connect the usb
[19:25] <bazhang> Dawson, what about checking disk integrity
[19:25] <Virtue> fde, I got "gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/hagane/.gnupg/gpg.conf'
[19:25] <Virtue> " when making a backup... is it bad ? :]
[19:25] <Dawson> Bazhang, haven't done that yet - can I do that throughmd5sum?
[19:25] <Amonxz> yeah i did that but it says its not supported
[19:25] <Mohammad[B]> Hi all
[19:25] <JewStyleKungFu> does anyone know where I can find the usage for bcm43xx-fwcutter?
[19:25] <bazhang> Dawson, at the boot options
[19:25] <babolat> kei-clone: as far as i know, manually mounting them would mean mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 but i dunno why flashdrives won't mount by themselves
[19:25] <in1> fde: hey... im trying to use the VirtualBox.. now i have an unused partition that i want to use for this installation of xp.. but its not located on the list given to me...
[19:26] <sparky01> pac1, have you seen any related bugs on this?
[19:26] <Mohammad[B]> im install gnome-vfs-obexftp package and then i cant open it with gnome-vfs-obexftp command how do can i open this software please help me :)
[19:26] <in1> my question is directed to everyone knows something about VBOx.. not only fde..
[19:26] <Dawson> Bazhang, I ran into the same error when I ran in through boot options. The dialogue pops up saying Loading Lunix Kernel, and it gets up to 67% and stalls again
[19:26] <evilbug> does anyone know of a good tutorial on installing/upgrading to the latest Pidgin from source? (i'm running 7.10)
[19:27] <fde> Virtue: Do you have a GPG key?
[19:27] <Izinucs> How do I make sure my dpi resolution is set for 96dpi when rendering fonts?  xdpyinfo | grep resolution reports 85x86 dpi and System/Pref/Appearance/Fonts/Advanced reports 96..
[19:27] <cWrite> Hi Everybody
[19:27] <fde> in1: You should be able to browse fine to another directory...
[19:27] <bazhang> Dawson, what about removing quiet and splash from boot parameters to let you see what errors there are
[19:27] <Virtue> fde, no what's that ? :D
[19:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Dawson can we assume you tried removing splash and quiet from the command line and or burning the cd at a very low speed, (expecially on dells and hps)
[19:27] <fde> !gpg | Virtue
[19:27] <Virtue> fde, it asked smth, I wrote some pass, and retyped it.

[19:27] <DEadPuNk> hi here !! i was installing the ATi proprietary driver on my ubuntu box ! but i run ./ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run  ! i got this error : " X server: unable to detect " !
[19:28] <BBishop> grrr .. I'm getting tired of it .. graphics won't work .. ndiswrapper won't work .. damn upgrade ..
[19:28]  * BBishop goes mad
[19:28] <Jack_Sparrow> HI bazhang
[19:28] <bazhang> hi Jack_Sparrow  :)
[19:28] <pist0l-fish> hi there I am currently using the ubuntu LiveCD installer to install ubuntu. I would like to create a separate home partition. Is this supported
[19:28] <pist0l-fish> ?
[19:29] <bazhang> pist0l-fish, yes
[19:29] <Jack_Sparrow> pist0l-fish yes
[19:29] <fde> pist0l-fish: yes... when it fires up the partitioner, simply choose "custom" rather than the "guided" options...
[19:29] <Dawson> Jack_sparrow, I knocked off splash and quite, no change; reburned the CD at 4x, no change.Bazhang, when I remove splash and quiet from the command line, it doesn't show up with any errors. It just loads up to 67% and stalls
[19:29] <JoY`Away> HellOo
[19:29] <hockeymachine> is there a way to reduce how much text (number of characters) under an icon on the desktop?
[19:29] <DEadPuNk> can anyone tell me why i got this error : " X server: unable to detect "  when installing the ATi driver
[19:30] <pist0l-fish> this might be a more abstract question, but where should I put my swap partition to allow for maximum speed?
[19:30] <bazhang> Dawson, you can read the scrolling text then?
[19:30] <fde> hockeymachine: Other than renaming it... no
[19:30] <pist0l-fish> somewhere in the middle I'm guessing
[19:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Dawson add ... noapic and acpi=off               where you removed quiet and splash
[19:30] <Izinucs> pist0l-fish: it's not really used much.. but technically speaking.. I don't know.
[19:30] <bazhang> pist0l-fish, swap wont make that much of a difference tbh
[19:30] <pist0l-fish> okay
[19:30] <pist0l-fish> thanks
[19:30] <fde> pist0l-fish: heh... yes... it would have popped up 'Loading Partitioner... Please wait' ... if you know it's coming it's hard to miss.
[19:31] <andresj> anybody know where the wiki page for remixing a cd is?
[19:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Dawson and please note... if you have huge drives the partitioner is very slow, so dont think it locked up
[19:31] <pist0l-fish> all I have to say is that I hope ubuntu is better than openSuSE. SuSE killed me inside
[19:31] <bazhang> !uck | andresj
[19:31] <SeaPhor> fde, a question... on one of my installs i tried the setting /home in manual but after install i still had to edit fstab, i basically had 2 /home dir,,, what did i do wrong?
[19:31] <vallhalla81> how do you find out what kernel you have?
[19:31] <Dawson> Bazhang, when I plug the CD in and hit F6, I can see the scrolling text. I take out splash and quiet, hit enter, and then press install. it still hangs. Jack_sparrow, I've experimented with all variations of noapci, including throwing them all in together
[19:31] <fde> pist0l-fish: It is for things like Package Management... most other things are similar, although Ubuntu is kinder about non-free drivers and codecs.
[19:31] <andresj> thnks bazhang
[19:32] <bazhang> vallhalla81, uname -r
[19:32] <i-hope-this-name> this is probably the wrong channel, but for encoding x264, does anyone have a preference between ffmpeg and mencoder? IIRC they're both multithreaded and 64bit.
[19:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Dawson what hardware are you running
[19:32] <belial_> sf
[19:32] <belial_> w
[19:32] <in1> fde: im not sure... yikes.. dont wanna mess my ubuntu! untouchable!! is the image file name+ location is where the vbox will be stored?
[19:32] <fde> SeaPhor: You created a new /home instead of just telling it to use the old one probably.
[19:32] <kei-clone> so can anyone help me get my external devices to mount? right now doing an ls -l in /media shows up only my internal hard drives and nothing else
[19:33] <fde> in1: yes... I believe so... wherever you tell it to but the virtual drive...
[19:33] <kei-clone> i can't connect ipods/usb drives/external drives
[19:33] <SeaPhor> fde, i set it to a separate hard drive... hmm
[19:33] <pist0l-fish> alright so here's my setup: /dev/sda1 is mounted at /, /dev/sda2 is swap and /dev/sda3 is mounted at /home... am I missing anything?
[19:33] <i-hope-this-name> kei-clone: ls /dev | grep sd
[19:33] <douglas> Hey
[19:33] <douglas> Where's the place I can go to set an app to open when I boot
[19:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Dawson gotta run... hope you get it going.
[19:33] <in1> fde: ok... :))))
[19:33] <Dawson> Jack_sparrow; I'm running an Hp, Intel Centrino Duo 2 Core, 2 GB Ram. I know it's not a hardware issue because I was running this exact same version of Ubuntu until it crash
[19:33] <douglas> and log into gnome
[19:33] <fde> SeaPhor: You should have just clicked on the old /home and chose a mount point, but not tell it to format.
[19:33] <i-hope-this-name> kei-clone: compare that with the output from mount|grep sd
[19:33] <Dawson> Jack_sparrow, ok, thanks anyways
[19:33] <Aalvarez> Hello, I've just recently installed Hardy on my home system (new user transitioning from XP). All is going well, but my wife doesn't like the built in media players. She's very used to Windows Media Player and likes the way it integrates all the playlists and such..... what is my best option under Ubuntu for something that is going to mimic media player and it's functionality?
[19:33] <bazhang> pist0l-fish, looks fine
[19:33] <pist0l-fish> thanks
[19:34] <bazhang> audacious Aalvarez
[19:34] <i-hope-this-name> alvarezp: MPD might be close, or perhaps rhythmbox or amarok
[19:34] <Squa7ch> how can I setup shared folders like in 7.10 in 8.04?
[19:34] <xikarrousx> damn... anyone able to help with PPC wifi issues?
[19:34] <SeaPhor> fde, i was doing a fresh install on new hard drives
[19:34] <StevenTyler> Any idea how I might install this: flexbuilder_linux_install_a3_033108.bin ?
[19:34] <fde> Aalvarez: VLC has a Windows Media Player theme.
[19:34] <bazhang> xikarrousx, what chipset
[19:34] <xikarrousx> bcm 4318
[19:35] <bazhang> !broadcom | xikarrousx
[19:35] <Izinucs> How do I make sure my dpi resolution is set for 96dpi when rendering fonts?  xdpyinfo | grep resolution reports 85x86 dpi and System/Pref/Appearance/Fonts/Advanced reports 96..
[19:35] <xikarrousx> thanks
[19:36] <Jezu> Bonjour!
[19:36] <fde> !windows | Aalvarez You should have your wife read:
[19:36] <Dawson> Looking for help; trying to install Ubuntu 8 off the CD, but the Loading Linux Kernel keeps hanging with me...anyone?
[19:36] <bazhang> !fr | Jezu
[19:36] <JewStyleKungFu> I'm working on my bcm43xx right now, I'll let you know if I have any luck
[19:36] <Squa7ch> shared files, samba, how do I set it up like it was in 7.10 in 8.04?
[19:36] <kei-clone> i-hope-this-name, this is what i got: http://pastebin.com/d2112ef9c
[19:36] <sparky01> Anyone know what happened to screens and graphics in 8.04?  It is gone =(
[19:36] <Squa7ch> mainly the workgroup name for example
[19:36] <Jezu> thx ;)
[19:36] <fde> Aalvarez: Actually, I think I meant 'equivalents' ... sorry
[19:37] <void^> Izinucs: gnome applications should use 96 dpi then. to be safe with all applications it might be a good idea to set a correct DisplaySize in xorg.conf
[19:37] <Aalvarez> Thank you for tehe suggestions everyone... I'll take a look at those packages and see if something looks like its up our alley
[19:37] <starcannon> sparky it got moved to system-->preferences
[19:37] <sparky01> starcannon, only screen resolution is there
[19:37] <Dawson> Running into an install error where the Loading Linux Kernel screen hangs with me. Help, anyone?
[19:37] <Aalvarez> !equivalents
[19:37] <sparky01> starcannon, not screens and graphics
[19:38] <fde> Aalvarez: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm sorry... but yeah... set up vlc with the windows media player theme, and she won't know it's not WMP
[19:38] <starcannon> ah right, guess they whittled it down because of bulletproofX
[19:38] <Izinucs> void^: do you know what the "option" line should read like? and under what section.. "Screen"?
[19:38] <bazhang> Dawson, this is livecd correct? dual boot or no; tried the alt cd, if dual boot you might consider unetbootin
[19:39] <nikolam> Does anyone have problems with sound not working after coming back from Hibernation on 8.04/Hardy 64-bit?
[19:39] <sparky01> Anyone know what happened to screens and graphics, that Xorg config tool in 804?  Its only got System >> Screens and it has no real options
[19:39] <Squa7ch> no, but I do have a problem with getting help in this channel
[19:39] <Dawson> Bazhang, it is the live CD, no dual boot. You figure the alternate CD will work?
[19:39] <void^> Izinucs: monitor section, DisplaySize x y, with x,y being size in mm. see man xorg.conf
[19:39] <Reaby> we got some reports at finnish loco forum on GDM facebrowser stopped working / shows blank after ysterdays update. /etc/gmd/gmd.conf --> browser=true crashes gdm / gives only blank screen, what to do?
[19:40] <Izinucs> void^: wouldn't that just be the standard screen resoution like 1280x1024 in mm? as opposed to dpi?
[19:40] <bazhang> Dawson, its worth a shot; some systems choke on the live cd--there is also the minimal installer as well (9mb iso)
[19:40] <Virtue> fde, as I understand this is for web servers and etc, but can I save image on my hard ? I don't have any http or local network PC or anything
[19:40] <Nostahl> what do i add to fstab  if i want to get this effect sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/C
[19:40] <Gizmo_the_Great1> Hi. I have Heron installed my laptop. Boot up time from hibernation is very slow - takes about the same time as a fresh boot. Is there any way to speed it up?
[19:40]  * Lothlorien kalispera k pali! :P
[19:40] <Dawson> Bazhang, I'll give that a try. Thanks so much. :-)
[19:40] <Squa7ch> don't hibernate?
[19:40] <mikeg3> Hi...I am dual booting Ubuntu and Windows....I think my Windows partition is compromised (as in rootkit virus).
[19:40] <fde> Virtue: rsync can use the local system as destination too.
[19:41] <Baby_Shambl3s> OMG OMG need help x died and doesnt start, why i have no clue, soemone pls help
[19:41] <fde> mikeg3: #windows
[19:41] <Gizmo_the_Great1> Squa7ch: not an ideal solution but thanks anyway ;-)
[19:41] <Virtue> Nostahl, mount /dev/sda2 filesystem /media/C default 0 2 (2 - means boot order)
[19:41] <void^> Izinucs: well, just calculate how large your screen has to be for your desired dpi.
[19:41] <Squa7ch> you said it take around the same time as a fresh boot, why not?
[19:41] <Nostahl> ty
[19:41] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | tail 20 <-- return anything enlightening?
[19:41] <Izinucs> void^: thanks
[19:42] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | tail -n20  sorry
[19:42] <StevenTyler> Looks like Java VM doen't come pre-installed with Hardy Heron?
[19:42] <Gizmo_the_Great1> Squa7ch: because often I have to shut the lid amidst a load of things so I don't always want to close everything down and then re-opne it all - it's not always practical
[19:42] <Dawson> Bazhang, quick question - the alternate CD will install Ubuntu the same as LiveCD? As in, will there be any difference in Ubuntu itself? (Presuming I can get it working?)
[19:42] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: Also, you probably want to install putty on Windows or whatever so you can SSH in and do this stuff easier  :)
[19:42] <Virtue> Nostahl, mount /dev/sda2 /media/C default filesystem 0 2 (2 - means boot order)
[19:42] <Virtue> that is :]
[19:42] <Reaby> we got some reports at finnish loco forum on GDM facebrowser stopped working / shows blank after ysterdays update. /etc/gmd/gmd.conf --> browser=true crashes gdm / gives only blank screen, what to do?
[19:42] <guy_> can anyone tell me where I can modify my debian-based system's startup scripts? I don't want x-window-system starting by default on my server
[19:42] <sparky01> Anyone know what happened to screens and graphics, that Xorg config tool in 804?  Its only got System >> Screens and it has no real options
[19:42] <bazhang> Dawson, it is a text-based install only cd but should do yes
[19:43] <dC`Arsenic> Hello everyone, i'm trying to find out how to get rid of all trace of Ubuntu on my system. I tried installing it from the disc and dual booting. Now it's screwed up so i want to do a completely fresh install.
[19:43] <Squa7ch> k, so have it go to a blank screen instead of hibernating
[19:43] <moveax> I currently play WoW via WINE @ 1680x1050 and I get decent FPS. However, do you think I'll see an improvement if I use Cedega or CrossOver Office?
[19:43] <Virtue> shit wrong again x.x
[19:43] <mikeg3> I am getting notification from my Ubuntu Update manager that there are 63 important security updates, but there is a warning that the files cannot be authenticated.  Is there any way to check that my *Ubuntu* software sources are pure?
[19:43] <bazhang> Squa7ch, that is not helpful
[19:43] <bazhang> virtue language please
[19:43] <Virtue> Nostahl, mount /dev/sda2 /media/C filesystem default 0 2 (2 - means boot order) da
[19:43] <fde> dC`Arsenic: Just reinstall, the partitioner will reformat those partitions for you.
[19:43] <dC`Arsenic> But i used Wubi Installer.
[19:43] <Virtue> bazhang, k sorry mate
[19:44] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: got it showing but dont know what to look for it seems ok
[19:44] <fde> dC`Arsenic: then go to Add/Remove Programs in Windows and uninstall
[19:44] <mr_boo> does pixel dot clock and video timings apply at all when it comes to lcd screens?
[19:44] <dC`Arsenic> Inside windows. I have a 10GB partition i want to use for ubuntu.
[19:44] <dC`Arsenic> Ok
[19:44] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: Says nothing about an error?
[19:44] <void^> Izinucs: normally your screen tells your system about its size.. since most monitors don't have the "perfect" size for the resolution you want you often get things like 86dpi (which normally isn't an issue)
[19:45] <fde> dC`Arsenic: Also, the Desktop CD has gparted ... you can use that to shrink your NTFS partition.
[19:45] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: Were you trying to install graphics drivers per chance?
[19:45] <JewStyleKungFu> Iwhere's the kernel folder on 8.04?
[19:45] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: nope unless you mean this - SIS(0): Restoring by setting old mode 0x03
[19:45] <fde> JewStyleKungFu: same place as always... depends what you mean though, the location of drivers, or the kernel image?
[19:46] <JewStyleKungFu> drivers
[19:46] <LogicalDash> What's a good Amarok alternative for GNOME?
[19:46] <Izinucs> void^: yea.. screen resolution is ok.. I was just hoping to tweek in the hopes of creating better clarity. Although it's acceptable now.
[19:46] <bazhang> !players | LogicalDash

[19:46] <fde> JewStyleKungFu: /lib/modules/
[19:46] <JewStyleKungFu> thanks
[19:46] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: /etc/init.d/gdm restart doesn't bring it back?
[19:47] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: ahh... flux doesn't have a dm...
[19:47] <fde> Actually, Ubuntu users generally use GDM anyways huh?
[19:48] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: it gave no such file or folder?
[19:48] <bazhang> kdm here ;]
[19:48] <Gizmo_the_Great1> sorry - i got disconnected so not sure if anyone replied? I am trying to speed up recovery from hibernation? Any thoughts?

[19:58] <mikeg3> how do I verify the md5 of an iso image of ubuntu within ubuntu?
[19:59] <Baby_Shambl3s> reverseblade: huh? what do you mean? I have no option at all only bash
[19:59] <xikarrousx> okay, still need help.. "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9" pulls ups :E: couldn't find package"
[19:59] <bazhang> !md5 | mikeg3
[19:59] <reverseblade> Babacom, are you using nvidia drivers ?
[19:59] <reverseblade> Baby_Shambl3s,  are you using nvidia drivers ?
[19:59] <Konam> If I have a router that acts as a DHCP (as any router would) why would I want/need a DHCP server? (maybe this is a dumb question. I just want to know)
[19:59] <xikarrousx> im having a hard time allowing ubuntu to recognize wireless internet while using my ppc
[19:59] <erUSUL> mikeg3: md5sum -c file.md5
[19:59] <reverseblade> Konam, for fine tunning your dhcp server via custom policies
[20:00] <reverseblade> Konam, for example start giving ip's from <IP_ADDRESS>+
[20:00] <BBishop> or binding specified macs to specified ips ...
[20:00] <reverseblade> yes that would be a reason too
[20:00] <BBishop> allowing some ips to boot off network ( providing boot files via tftpd )
[20:01] <reverseblade> or failover redundancy
[20:01] <BBishop> yup
[20:01] <Konam> BBishop the binding you can do it in mostly any router, I can do it on my wireless router at least
[20:02] <sparky01> where did displayconfig-gtk go in t 804?
[20:02] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: you can try 'sudo pkill -9 Xorg' ... then start X again if it doesn't automatically respawn... else I'm sort of lost if there are no errors in the log file.
[20:02] <Baby_Shambl3s> reverseblade: nope i have a plain SiS card that doesnt need propietary driver but now x is dead and i have no clue why
[20:02] <mr_boo> simply
[20:02] <DeFirence> does anyone know of a web gui that can control multiple ppp connections for linux?
[20:02] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: btw, sorry, had a phone call.
[20:02] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: ur back nice will try that in f5
[20:02] <sparky01> my machine keeps booting every 10th time into low graphics and overwriting my xorg.conf.  Its a super annoying bug
[20:02] <reverseblade> Baby_Shambl3s, one good way to tweak out to check log files in /var/log for X.log.0 or something like that
[20:03] <danbhfive> sparky01: do you want to stop the overwrite by brute force?
[20:03] <reverseblade> Baby_Shambl3s, or try re installing your drivers
[20:03] <fde> reverseblade: I already told her that, but apparently there is no error...
[20:03] <Konam> BBishop but reading the ubuntu guide I won't get to know most of the advanced features of the DHCP server :/
[20:03] <sparky01> neither my vid card or my monitor is listed =(
[20:03] <reverseblade> Baby_Shambl3s, what error do you get when you type, sudo gdm start, or sudo startx
[20:03] <chaqu1> how come some installes are .bin, while some are .rpm and others are .dev
[20:04] <chaqu1> and how do i install one thats .bin?
[20:04] <sparky01> danbhfive, huh?
[20:04] <BBishop> well, because dhcpd isn't made by ubuntu !
[20:04] <reverseblade> BBishop, use google
[20:04] <BBishop> read the dhcp guide !
[20:04] <reverseblade> sorru
[20:04] <fde> chaqu1: You should never mess with that stuff... just use Synaptic to install things... everything worth having is there  :)
[20:04] <reverseblade> Konam, use google
[20:04] <BBishop> reverseblade, don't tell me, tell Konam
[20:04] <reverseblade> BBishop, sorry
[20:04] <BBishop> :) No probloem.
[20:05] <ghostlines> i'm trying to install a printer on a cups server, but it hangs at the Model/Driver page, can anyone help me with this?
[20:05] <danbhfive> sparky01: do you want me to repeat?  nvm...   sudo chattr +i /etc/X11/xorg.conf      that will stop it from being overwritten
[20:05] <reverseblade> chaqu1, you run the bin file. the problem is bin files are excluded from your package manager. You have to maintain the installation manually (forexample you won't be able to uninstall from synaptic)
[20:05] <Baby_Shambl3s> reverseblade, fde: startx gives unknow how and some files that are readonly, server error, error in locking authority  file /home/user/.Xauthority
[20:05] <xikarrousx> looking for ubuntu 8.04 bcm4318 help!
[20:06] <Andycas> When i use GTK 2 themes, i cant use the "color" option in appearance menu. This results ugly panels in some apps, like synaptic
[20:06] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: Can you remove that file and try again please?
[20:06]  * moro thanks for those who helped him get into his BIOS... Ive reinstalled a clean Hardy. Muchos gracias!!
[20:06] <sparky01> danbhfive, have you seen this bug before?
[20:06] <chaqu1> FDE its planeshift its not on snaptyc
[20:06] <reverseblade> !broadcom | xikarrousx
[20:06] <fde> chaqu1: what doesit do?
[20:06] <xikarrousx> ubottu, that doesnt help
[20:06] <chaqu1> fde the game planeshift
[20:06] <reverseblade> !ubottu | xikarrousx
[20:06] <Dainai> sometimes ctrl and shift stop working, Ubuntu 8.04 on dell inspiron 1520
[20:06] <in1> is it possible im using two Swap partitions on my latest installation of ubuntu? and how do i make sure about it?
[20:06] <chillance> damnit, xmms is gone in 804
[20:07] <fde> chaqu1: eh... chmod +x planshit.bin ... then ./planshift.bin
[20:07] <reverseblade> in1, I don't think it would be possible. Why would you want it anyway ?
[20:07] <danbhfive> sparky01: no
[20:07] <chaqu1> it said the id wasnt valid
[20:07] <chaqu1> fde when i did that
[20:07] <chillance> what should I use now which supports Drag & Drop in nautilus
[20:07] <xikarrousx> any PPC users here?
[20:07] <moro> Can I alter the way I boot up...Ive always got to go into a setup screen asking me which I want to boot up?
[20:07] <reverseblade> Baby_Shambl3s, try googleing that error
[20:07] <fde> chaqu1: Then please read its docs for how to add a valid one...
[20:07] <alSMT> is there a easy way to tell my W2K partition I installed Harty Heron and now W2K wont boot I think its my boot.ini file
[20:07] <o0Chris0o> is there a java addon for firefox?
[20:08] <crdlb> chillance: audacious is a clone of xmms
[20:08] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: you want me to rm -rf that file? will try
[20:08] <fde> o0Chris0o: sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin
[20:08] <reverseblade> o0Chris0o, java applets are dead long time ago
[20:08] <ompaul> !java > o0Chris0o
[20:08] <styles> Hey my computers being stupid. I just installed EvE. I tried to boot it up and it froze the computer.
[20:08] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: -r isn't necessary, but yea.
[20:08] <chaqu1> fde theres nothing to read on the website, nor anything in the download
[20:08] <RyanPrior> xikarrousx: Ubuntu is not supported on PPC, so I doubt there will be many PPC users.
[20:08] <Baby_Shambl3s> reverseblade: i have bash dont have any terminal browser installed
[20:08] <xikarrousx> word... but it exists lol
[20:08] <fde> chaqu1: If you own the game, call the manufacturer...
[20:08] <o0Chris0o> reverseblade: actually you are wrong, I didn't say java applets...java is still around and being used
[20:09] <in1> reverseblade: i dont want it... i just want to make sure i dont use two swap's becuase i have two installations.. and when i installed the latest one.. i marked a partition as swap.. and there was another partition marked as swap so i was wondering wether its possible it used them both.. i want to make sure it doesnt because im deleting the older installation of ubuntu + its swap space..
[20:09] <chaqu1> fde i thought maybe the download was corrupt, so i am redownloading it now through dirrect download
[20:09] <JewStyleKungFu> java seems to be a very popular open-source language
[20:09] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: unable to resolve host, what does that mean?
[20:09] <chaqu1> fde: i got it via torrent the first time
[20:09] <reverseblade> Baby_Shambl3s, I see, you can try lynx
[20:09] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: does 'echo $DISPLAY' return anything?
[20:09] <reverseblade> Baby_Shambl3s, or try booting with live CD
[20:10] <alSMT> quit
[20:10] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: If not... try 'export DISPLAY=':0.0' then startx again
[20:10] <Lynet> in1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#head-75ffcb00cefe143fc380f84d7ea9203f16a596d0
[20:12] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: Also, for kicks, remove ~/.ICEauthority too while you're at it, both tend to give the same symptoms and are recreated without harm.
[20:12] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde : even knowing I get that there is no such file as .Xauthority jsut tried ls -a in home and cant find it but did find xsession-errors but cat ignore the output as it is too many
[20:13] <Glover> Is there any reason I would do "$ make" and then "$ make install"? Why not just directly do "$ make install"?
[20:13] <catphish> make and make install do different things
[20:13] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: tail -n15 it to see recent errors.
[20:13] <matthew> how do I find the WAN ip address of a specific computer?
[20:13] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: or less <file>
[20:13] <RyanPrior> Glover: read a tutorial on make to understand why those steps are required.
[20:13] <Loky> helo
[20:13] <RyanPrior> Glover: often, make clean is required before make as well.
[20:13] <Andycas> My themes seem to be all broken, if i try to change icons to nuoveXT, it switches to default gnome ones..
[20:13] <helix> #php
[20:13] <Glover> Mhmm.
[20:14] <Loky> ehlo ?
[20:14] <Glover> Guess I'll have to read up on it, ty.
[20:14] <Andycas> Also the color scheme doesnt work, synaptic looks so ugly like win 95
[20:14] <fde> matthew: Care to provide more info about the network? How are the hosts defined etc?
[20:14] <bazhang> !hi | Loky
[20:14] <Virtue> fde, so I made this gnu key, what does it have to do with duplicity anyway ? no matter what I write when it asks to enter (and confirm) the outcome i that error..
[20:14] <crdlb> Andycas: that happens if you install a theme to ~/.themes
[20:14] <matthew> fde:  don't know what you're talking about, sorry
[20:14] <Loky> may i ask for some help ?
[20:14] <matthew> fde:  regular old home set up
[20:14] <bazhang> Loky, sure
[20:14] <crdlb> Andycas: synaptic is running as root, so it can't see that directory
[20:14] <dalcio> aqui pode falar portugues? to precisando de ajuda com conexao wireless
[20:15] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: tail -n15 gave me nothing but now i cnat type my keys gone funny
[20:15] <catphish> matthew: simplest way is to send an http request to a website like whatismyip.com
[20:15] <aaroncampbell> I used a command like this to sync a couple dirs on my system: "rsync --progress -av test testing/"  It seems to be working, but I was worried because it's continually saying stuff like: "(xfer#7500, to-check=8088/16823)" and I don't remember it doing that before.   Is the to-check part of the --progress switch, or is it a warning?
[20:15] <pist0l-fish> hi there, I have just installed ubuntu and I need to get to runlevel 3. It did not ask me for a root password, so I cannot take root. What do I do?
[20:15] <fde> Virtue: You wanted to encrypt your files... you need a way to decrypt it... else it'd be like a safe without a lock  ;)
[20:15] <bazhang> !pt | dalcio
[20:15] <Andycas> crdlb: I didnt, as far as i know...
[20:15] <matthew> catphish:  tried that.  has the same IP address for each computer in my house.
[20:15] <catphish> yes
[20:15] <crdlb> Andycas: you're using the stock human theme?
[20:15] <andronicus> how can you login to the ubuntu gui as root?
[20:15] <catphish> they will all have the same external IP
[20:15] <matthew> catphish:  i want the one for a specific computer.
[20:15] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: I meant to pipe it through that... so 'cat .xsession-errors | tail -n15'
[20:15] <RyanPrior> andronicus: You don't.
[20:15] <dalcio> [bazhang]: ola..posso falar no reservado?
[20:15] <catphish> matthew: most ISPs only give 1 WAN IP
[20:15] <RyanPrior> !sudo | andronicus
[20:15] <andronicus> that's disappointing
[20:16] <catphish> matthew: they have to share
[20:16] <Loky> bazhang im new in ubuntu, so i just setted up ubuntu server and confused that where are no /etc/init.d/iptables script or something seems like
[20:16] <matthew> catphish:  hmm, then how do you identify a specific computer?
[20:16] <bazhang> dalcio, /join #ubuntu-pt or -br
[20:16] <catphish> matthew: google NAT
[20:16] <Andycas> crdlb: no, i tried using this: http://www.cimitan.com/murrine/node/92
[20:16] <Virtue> fde, I just wanted to make a backup on another drive, and I ended up totally confused making some key I don't even fully understand what for..
[20:16] <dalcio> é que meu erro...nao to conseguindo ajuda..la
[20:16] <andronicus> i know about sudo, but is there anyway i can delete protected files without going through the hassle of terminal?
[20:16] <catphish> matthew: internally they're identified by a LAN IP address
[20:16] <Odd-rationale> !es | dalcio
[20:16] <dalcio> ok..tank´s
[20:16] <crdlb> andronicus: logging into a GUI as root is always a bad idea on any distro
[20:16] <matthew> catphish:  i want externally though
[20:16] <dalcio> gracias amigo
[20:16] <catphish> matthew: deliberately impossible
[20:16] <RyanPrior> andronicus: gksudo nautilus (I don't suggest it, but if you absolutely want a GUI...)
[20:16] <fde> Virtue: I distinctly recall you said you wanted to encrypt a tar.gz .... about 5 hours ago  :P
[20:17] <matthew> catphish:  then you can't do RDP over the internet?
[20:17] <eyemean> quick question pls, would it be easier to setup dual screen with nvidea rather than with ati?
[20:17] <catphish> if you have NAT, you can't make any connections in
[20:17] <andronicus> it doesn't matter if it's a bad idea, i am willing to take those risks
[20:17] <catphish> matthew: only out
[20:17] <Virtue> fde, lol no wai, I asked what prog is good for backing up - and you said duplicity...
[20:17] <RyanPrior> eyemean: They should both be possible without a lot of hassle, unless you happen to hit at at time when the driver for one or the other is broken.
[20:17] <erUSUL> !backup | Virtue
[20:17] <bazhang> Loky, iptables? hardy now has ufw to set that up if you wish
[20:18] <catphish> matthew: you might be able to configure your router to forward the wan ip to 1 specific computer inside
[20:18] <andronicus> gksudo nautilus is what i needed, thanks
[20:18] <crdlb> Andycas: if you installed it with the theme manager, then ~/.themes is where it went
[20:18] <Virtue> erUSUL, ubottu thanks ^^
[20:18] <fde> Virtue: ahh... well duplicity is about the best tool for backups too... you just get some security added in so no one tampers with them... it's really easy once you create a key... you should be signing e-mails and stuff with it anyways, to ensure it's really you etc...
[20:18] <Andycas> crdlb: oh, ok then it went there, where should i install it?
[20:18] <eyemean> to be honest ryanprior, i've been trying to get dual screen to work since gutsy came on with my radeon 9550, then gave up
[20:18] <Andycas> crdlb: /usr/shared/themes?
[20:18] <crdlb> Andycas: if you want all users to see it, it must go in /usr/share/themes
[20:18] <crdlb> yes
[20:19] <Andycas> crdlb: ok, what about the icons tho?
[20:19] <jinzo> hello, I'm wondering - can I install ubuntu on a separate partition with wubi ? ( basicly, the same as if I would boot the cd ? )
[20:19] <RyanPrior> eyemean: That sucks. None of the documentation or how-to guides help?
[20:19] <CountDown> My MBR was corrupted when I installed Hardy (known issue with Intel MacBook Pro).  I've told it where the root partition is and that works fine.  How do I tell it to use another partition as /home?
[20:19] <fde> Virtue: Once you get the key set up, you get many benefits from it... seems complicated, but it's really not
[20:19] <RyanPrior> jinzo: You don't use Wubi for that, you use the LiveCD.
[20:19] <crdlb> Andycas: /usr/share/icons instead of ~/.icons
[20:19] <bazhang> jinzo, after install you can move it to an lvm
[20:19] <jinzo> RyanPrior, I know - but I'm lacking spare CD
[20:19] <RyanPrior> jinzo: Wubi is only for installing within the Windows filesystem.
[20:20] <erUSUL> CountDown: /etc/fstab
[20:20] <Virtue> fde, well I got it
[20:20] <Zaiden> Is it normal for Pidgin to take up 1.8GB of memory?
[20:20] <catphish> can anyone here help me with installing ubuntu without a bootloader or kernel
[20:20] <jinzo> blah, then it looks like I'll need to get a CD :)
[20:20] <eyemean> not that i've seen ryanprior, probably dosent help seeing as im new to linux, and dont really know much about it
[20:20] <eyemean> hahaha
[20:20] <RyanPrior> jinzo: Install using Wubi for now, then migrate using LVPM later on.
[20:20] <jinzo> hoped wubi can help me :D
[20:20] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: just read that file with nano only thing there to do with hos was getinfadrr: host not found or soemthing close but nothing about x
[20:20] <DeFirence> :/
[20:20] <DeFirence> does anyone know of a web gui that can control multiple ppp connections for linux?
[20:20] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: dont tell me ill have to install ubuntu again?
[20:20] <CountDown> erUSUL: Thanks.  Edit by hand?
[20:21] <catphish> webmin is good with ppp i think
[20:21] <bazhang> catphish, unetbootin?
[20:21] <salvo> RLD|XDCC|024 xdcc send #17
[20:21] <fifthrune> VLC Error: I can't play .mkv files that have dashes or spaces in the filename.  Anybody know anything about this?
[20:21] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: Shouldn't have to... did you remove ~/.ICEauthority ? You said you had no ~/.Xauthority ?
[20:21] <Loky> bazhang thanx, i'll try to use ufw :)
[20:21] <bazhang> salvo, dont do that
[20:21] <erUSUL> CountDown: if you have your home already on a separate partiton just edit the file and add a line by hand
[20:21] <jinzo> ok cool, tnx RyanPrior :)
[20:21] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: didnt remove that will do now
[20:22] <catphish> unetbootin looks interesting, i dnt have windows tho
[20:22] <RyanPrior> jinzo: LVPM doesn't work with Hardy Heron yet, but it will soon hopefully.
[20:22] <catphish> bazhang: unetbootin looks interesting, i dnt have windows tho
[20:22] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: Worst case scenario, you might have to remove config files for flux etc... trying to avoid that though, there is no reason this should have happened based on what you described.
[20:22] <RyanPrior> catphish: Do you have a CD drive and BIOS?
[20:22] <bazhang> catphish, there is also the minimal installer (9mb iso)
[20:22] <CountDown> erUSUL: OK, thanks.
[20:22] <catphish> i want a full install, i just dont want it to install the kernel or bootloader
[20:23] <catphish> i plan to boot it with xen later
[20:23] <RyanPrior> catphish: You can't use Linux without the Linux kernel, sorry.
[20:23] <bazhang> no kernel?
[20:23] <Flannel> catphish: You dont want it to install a kernel?
[20:23] <catphish> Flannel, bazhang: kernel will be outside the installatio
[20:23] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: Once both of those are gone... 'startx -- :0.0' (should show up on alt+f8)
[20:23] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: i cnat remove anything, it doesnt recognise me o_0 sudo wont work :/
[20:24] <fde> f7 even
[20:24] <Flannel> catphish: Well, you'll just have to overwrite it then.  as for the bootloader, any non-desktop CD installation method will allow you to install no bootloader
[20:24] <in1> how do i delete a partition sda5+6 when i use currently sda7+8?
[20:24] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde:  i ahve no clue where .Xauthority comes from since its not in home and ice i cant remove since sudo doesnt recognise host which is me
[20:24] <catphish> can i install it with a kernel the just "apt-get remove" it?
[20:24] <RyanPrior> catphish: I suggest just using the alternate install CD and installing the kernel along with all the other packages, then removing the kernel afterwards.
[20:25] <RyanPrior> catphish: Yes, we're on the same brainwave now. :-)
[20:25] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: reboot and add a '1' to grub when it says Starting OS 3 ... 2...1  'e' to edit ... 'b' to boot with changes.
[20:25] <catphish> RyanPrior: thanks, i just dont want the automatic updates wasting bandwidth updating it
[20:25] <salvo> can you help me ???
[20:25] <bazhang> that sounds very dangerous and mildly offtopic here
[20:25] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: That'll get you root back, make sure /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname match please.
[20:25] <RyanPrior> catphish: The kernel isn't a very large package, actually. Don't worry about it.
[20:25] <catphish> RyanPrior: once its installed it i can boot it with an existing xen kernel, then remove the default one
[20:25] <salvo> contact me
[20:25] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: wat line do i add 1 and what if it doesnt match
[20:25] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: kernel line
[20:26] <RyanPrior> catphish: Have you used xen before?
[20:26] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: in /etc/hosts ... <this>.whatever has to be the same as what /etc/hostname returns, else sudo hates you.
[20:26] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: what if it doesnt match do i delete it or change it?
[20:27] <catphish> RyanPrior: i use xen heavily, i've written a deployment gui for it, but the ubuntu i use on it currently was downloaded from jailtime.org
[20:27] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: yah that last art might be true, will try right now brb
[20:27] <Virtue> fde, it's written FTP and stuff, but how to save backup on my hdd ? I tried this and that, but don't understand how... and don't see it written anywhere
[20:27] <Andycas> crdlb: hey? It didnt work, i still get the default gnome themed icons...
[20:27] <fde> Babacom: Localhost is fine... don't change that... you'll understand what I'm talking about when you look at the files... you can cat them without root access to see
[20:28] <fde> !backup | Virtue
[20:28] <bazhang> fde he quit
[20:28] <SchneeSchwarz> !sbackup > me
[20:28] <fde> bazhang: ahhh
[20:28] <Johnny_Bits> hi
[20:28] <RyanPrior> catphish: Well, good luck upgrading to Hardy then. Don't sweat the bandwidth for the Linux kernel - it's coming off the CD in the first place, and you don't have to let auto-updates download anything new for it.
[20:28] <fde> Babacom: sorry
[20:28] <RyanPrior> !hi | Johnny_Bits
[20:28] <Johnny_Bits> what exactly does it mean when a windows greys out when compiz is enabled?
[20:28] <DefineByte> I can't get the open source ati drivers to run and I'm not sure what to try. Any ideas?
[20:29] <crdlb> Johnny_Bits: that it is not responding
[20:29] <o0Chris0o> anyone know how I can get magic jack to work with ubuntu
[20:29] <fde> o0Chris0o: what is it?
[20:29] <catphish> RyanPrior: i have it working with hardy for dom0 and domu, upgraded from the 7.04 from jailtime ;)
[20:29] <RyanPrior> Johnny_Bits: That means the GUI is unresponsive. The program may have crashed, or it may just be working hard on something.
[20:29] <o0Chris0o> http://www.magicjack.com
[20:29] <Johnny_Bits> oh i see
[20:29] <fifthrune> so can someone help me with my VLC problem?
[20:29] <o0Chris0o> its a phone jack
[20:29] <Andycas> crdlb: nvm, i got it sorted, i redownloaded it
[20:29] <Johnny_Bits> they usually come back after a while in my experience
[20:29] <RyanPrior> !anyone | fifthrune
[20:30] <o0Chris0o> its not compatible with linux, but I'm sure there has to be away through wine or some other configuration
[20:30]  * fde doesn't feel enlightened
[20:30] <fde> o0Chris0o: try running it with wine, else it won't work.
[20:30] <Tu13es> what's the best way to search through files for a given string?
[20:30] <Exteris> Tu13es, grep
[20:30] <RyanPrior> Tu13es: grep
[20:30] <Exteris> RyanPrior, beat you to it :P
[20:30] <Johnny_Bits> grep "string" *
[20:31] <fifthrune> er, ok here's a re-phrase: my VLC player cannot play .mkv and some .mpg files if they have dashes or spaces in their filenames.  I am running latest version on Hardy 32-bit.
[20:31] <RyanPrior> Exteris: You have fast fingers and are worthy of much praise.
[20:31] <Tu13es> Johnny_Bits: ah, that was my next question
[20:31] <Exteris> RyanPrior, thank you :D
[20:31] <Johnny_Bits> do 'man grep' for more info
[20:31] <catphish> RyanPrior, thank you :D
[20:32] <pinguino> hello
[20:32] <pinguino> :D
[20:32] <Myrtti> !hi
[20:32] <fifthrune> did I not phrase my question correctly?
[20:33] <bazhang> fifthrune, what about when you change their names
[20:33] <Lynet> fifthrune: Could be several reasons, depending on how you launch vlc, which file system the files are stored on, which language setings you have.
[20:33] <fifthrune> launch as default media player for those file types, storage system is Ext3, default english language settings
[20:33] <fifthrune> when I change the names it works
[20:34] <fifthrune> but it's a real pain to do that for all the vids in my library
[20:34] <in1> i need some help guys/gals .. how do i delete a partition sda5+6 when i use currently sda7+8
[20:34] <fifthrune> in1: have you tried Gparted/Partition editor?
[20:34] <RyanPrior> in1: you can use GParted to selectively delete any partitions you don't like.
[20:34] <Lynet> in1: GUI tool: gparted. Command-line tool: fdisk
[20:35] <DefineByte> I'm stuck in 'low graphics mode' trying to get the open source ati drivers working on a Radeon X800 XT PE. Where should I be looking to fix this?
[20:35] <in1> whew!!
[20:35] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: nothung no such file as /etc/hostnames and etc/hosts had info on IPV6
[20:35] <RyanPrior> DefineByte: Is there an error or anything you can share with us?
[20:35] <chillance> phu
[20:35] <chillance> thank god for Audacious
[20:35] <hawkeyex> *sigh*
[20:35] <L0N350LDI3R> how would I get age of empires III working on my PC?
[20:36] <hawkeyex> still can't get my movie player to play right.
[20:36] <fifthrune> more info on VLC issue: when I try to launch file with improper naming conventions, it says "no suitable access module found" in VLC error messages
[20:36] <RyanPrior> L0N350LDI3R: install it using Wine.
[20:36] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: hostname singular
[20:36] <DefineByte> RyanPrior: where should I look for an error message?
[20:36] <RyanPrior> !wine | L0N350LDI3R
[20:36] <hawkeyex> !dvd
[20:36] <L0N350LDI3R> ok, thx
[20:36] <L0N350LDI3R> I will try
[20:36] <Lynet> fifthrune: Can you do a pastebin of the output from a failed launch of vlc?
[20:36] <RyanPrior> DefineByte: well, you asked how to fix something, but I'm asking what it is specifically that you want to fix.
[20:37] <erUSUL> DefineByte: «gksudo displayconfig-gtk» choose radeon driver and desired resolution
[20:37] <fifthrune> sure, how do I do that? just copy over what it says in error messages?
[20:37] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: that file with cat only has ubuntu which i guess its the host it recognises :/
[20:37] <Lynet> !pastebin | fifthrune
[20:37] <Myrtti> !paste | fifthrune
[20:37] <fde> fifthrune: rename 's/ //' *  to get rid of spaces... rename 's/-//' *  to get rid of dashes
[20:37] <STSX> I wrote a really short bash script that uses the "free" command to find the available memory. I added the script to System > Pref > Sessions, but when it runs it ALWAYS returns the used memory as 192.4 MB, no matter what. I can run the script from the command line, and it works fine. What am I missing?
[20:37] <fifthrune> fde: I know I CAN rename them to solve the issue, but the thing is I don't want to
[20:37] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: does hosts have the same computer name?
[20:38] <Tobias92> Hey. On my pc, I can push apostrophe (') and then e, to get an e accent aigu (é) but my father can't. I've checked our keyboard properties, but with the same configuration he still can't use this style of typing accents. How can I enable this? (Hardy)
[20:38] <in1> fifthrune,RyanPrior,Lynet, ill adress my question to the three of you: im trying to delete sda5=swap + sda6=ext3 (both of an older installation of ubuntu) my current installation is on sda7+8 swap+ext3, when i tried to delete one of the sda5+6, it msged me: "Unable to delete /dev/sda6! Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 6
[20:38] <hawkeyex> so I'm still trying to play dvd's with xine, but it's still not working properly
[20:38] <DefineByte> erUSUL: Okay, I'll try that. I thought ati was meant to be used. :)
[20:38]  * hawkeyex scratches his head puzzedly
[20:39] <hawkeyex> The source can't be read.
[20:39] <hawkeyex> Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: no disc in drive). (/dev/dvd)
[20:39] <erUSUL> DefineByte: ati is a dummy driver that just should load radeon for your card (man ati)
[20:39] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: it has localhost than underneath ubuntu.lan ubuntu - so what do you make of that?
[20:39] <DefineByte> thanks. :)
[20:39] <fde> !medibuntu | hawkeyex Set this up and install libdvdcss2
[20:39] <fifthrune> here's my pastebin URL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11304/ (hope I did that right)
[20:39] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: That looks correct.
[20:40] <fifthrune> in1: use GParted, unmount both partitions, then delete
[20:40] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: yay :D than why cnat I get x or even gnome session?
[20:40] <graham> graham:
[20:40] <Lynet> in1: Ah. When deleting partitions, any "higher" partitions will change names. So you'd have to boot from CD before you can delete those partitions.
[20:41] <andresj> hello. what sound system does flash use?
[20:41] <Dawson> Hey, encountering an error when I try to install Ubuntu 8.04, the Loading Linux Kernel dialogue appears and runs up to 67%, then hangs. Help, anyone?
[20:41] <fifthrune> crap, did I miss anything?
[20:41] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: X is why you can't get gnome-session going... currently I'm baffled as to why X isn't working.
[20:41] <erUSUL> andresj: install libflashsupport to get sound on flash in hardy
[20:41] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: can you please paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log to paste.ubuntu.com ... maybe you overlooked something.
[20:41] <erUSUL> !flashsound
[20:42] <andresj> erUSUL: I alreay have sound in flash :D
[20:42] <in1> lynet: would it affect my current installation? and how do i use this GParted through installation Desktop cd? (just gparted in a run box?)
[20:42] <andresj> erUSUL: but i dont know what sound system does it use
[20:42] <erUSUL> andresj: alsa i guess
[20:42] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: my last session in flux i used trans.. might have added a script to start conky even knowing flux startup file also call out conky could that be the problem
[20:42] <fde> andresj: That's the point of that package... it's for the sound system hardy uses.
[20:42] <hawkeyex> xine extra plugins is greyed out
[20:42] <hawkeyex> why?
[20:42] <xyberpix> hey all
[20:42] <DefineByte> Selecting the radeon driver has made no difference. I'm still stuck in low graphics mode. :'(
[20:42] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: how do i copy and paste in bash especially in nano:
[20:43] <Lynet> in1: gparted is on installation cd (at least on 8.04). You might have to edit /etc/fstab.
[20:43] <amenado> anyone uses the abi.* kernel included on the liveCd ? how does one boot it? what menu.lst entry you put?
[20:43] <andresj> erUSUL, fde: is there a way to configure the sound of a specific flash instance? (mainly left-right channels)
[20:43] <xyberpix> can anyone point me to any resources in regard to my THRM temp always being 40 C?
[20:43] <RyanPrior> xyberpix: 40C is a good temperature, don't worry about it.
[20:43] <fifthrune> how exactly does VLC interpret files based on filename anyway?  shouldn't it depend on the .extension?
[20:43] <arno-t> anyone have experience on building their own gnome? I'd like to make gnome accept bluetooth object pushes from whatever sender...
[20:43] <xyberpix> Ryan it never changes though?
[20:44] <DefineByte> Is there a command to use to show what graphics card X has detected?
[20:44] <RyanPrior> xyberpix: You mean, the sensors are malfunctioning or something?
[20:44] <Dawson> Running into an installation error when loading through the LiveCD of Ubuntu 8.04; the Loading Linux Kernel Dialogue hangs on me. Any ideas?
[20:44] <Lynet> fifthrune: Hmm.. file:// url looks ok as far as I can see. I am guessing this is an issue with vlc not properly handling %xx in file urls.
[20:44] <RyanPrior> DefineByte: lspci
[20:44] <amenado> fifthrune-> in linux the extensions are not normally used
[20:44] <eyemean> hi, got unusual problem, i installed fresh version of ubuntu 8.04, and installed tvtime, but wen i start it nothing happen, the program dosent even start
[20:44] <in1> lynet : that looks a bit dangy.. yikes, dont want to corrupt my current installation..
[20:44] <RyanPrior> DefineByte: and glxinfo
[20:44] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: you there?
[20:44] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: Sounds like that'd start 2 conky's ... I don't actually recall how to paste in screen, maybe someone would be kind enough to tell you?
[20:45] <fifthrune> Lynet: so you think there's anything I can do about it?
[20:45] <amenado> eyemean-> ps aux|grep tvtime  and see if its running
[20:45] <fde> andresj: I don't think so no... that is just so it doesn't try to bypass pulse
[20:45] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: yeah but no one hasnt so im guessing they dont know or maybe i should ask in general, will try that
[20:45] <andresj> :( :D
[20:45] <Lynet> in1: You could use gparted to resize sda5/6, make them really tiny. Then enlarge sda7/8 to use the extra space.
[20:45] <DefineByte> RyanPrior: glxinfo says 'direct rendering: no'. Is that significant?
[20:46] <xyberpix> Ryan, not too sure, thought that it would at least change occasionally, but it's constant 40C?
[20:46] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: sudo aptitude install screen .. man screen ... /paste
[20:46] <Baby_Shambl3s> how do i copy & past text in bash and does ubuntu have a default text browser?
[20:46] <vega--> after gutsy->hardy upgrade firefox says "site not found" for ALL websites, why? (other browsers work, offline mode is not on, there is no proxy set)
[20:46] <Cpudan80> DefineByte: Yes - it means your 3D accell is disabled
[20:46] <fifthrune> vega: do you have an active connection?
[20:46] <Lynet> fifthrune: Complain/ask/bugreport/pester the vlc devs, I guess. ;-)
[20:46] <fifthrune> Lynet: great :)  Oh well.  Thanks though.
[20:46] <in1> lynet: hmm... that looks mighty lazy.. i think ill grab on to this one..
[20:46] <vega--> fifthrune: active as in my network works? yes, i can use links, lynx, thunderbird etc. just ok
[20:46] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: I cnat use sudo im unrecognised unknown host bo sudo commands will wrok its puzziling
[20:46] <eyemean> nah its not running amenado
[20:46] <RyanPrior> DefineByte: That simply means you don't have direct rendering set up yet. When your driver is working that should say "yes" probably.
[20:46] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: c^  == ctrl
[20:47] <vega--> fifthrune: firefox is the only one having problems, it doesn
[20:47] <vega--> t seem to realise dns settings
[20:47] <fifthrune> are you using 3.0 or downgraded to 2.0?
[20:47] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: huh? ctrl & ....?
[20:47] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: I'm starting to thnk you should just reinstall... you hosed that system pretty bad it seems like
[20:47] <vega--> fifthrune: 3.0, hardy default
[20:47] <DefineByte> RyanPrior: well something's definitely wrong as I can't get out of 800x600 >.<
[20:47] <fifthrune> try 2.0 (it's in the repo, won't override 3.0) and see if that works
[20:48] <fifthrune> just to make sure there's nothing wrong with the whole mozilla system
[20:48] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: emacs terminology... c^ in any cli app = hit ctrl and type <whatever>
[20:48] <Dawson> Hey, I'm running into an error when I try to install Ubuntu 8.04 off the LiveCD; the Loading Linux Kernel Dialogue starts and then hangs on me...any ideas?
[20:48] <zerodamage> Someone help me, if I try to use any propetary restricted driver for my geforce 8400, the gui will not load (it blanks after the ubuntu logo has loaded). Ive tried the packet manager, and envy, same result
[20:48] <Myrtti> Baby_Shambl3s: how you copy and paste is totally dependant on which terminal emulator you're using
[20:48] <in1> Thanks Lynet..
[20:48] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: yup i seem to be breaking 8.04 without knowing how gutsy was freaking awsome this one i have a lot of doubts about it, Vista might be more stable than this
[20:48] <in1> .quit
[20:48] <vega--> fifthrune: hmm, little suspicious if i've already run 3.0b5, how much stuff has it converted in .firefox ? settings etc.
[20:48] <RyanPrior> Dawson: perhaps you have faulty memory?
[20:48] <vega--> will they work with 2.0
[20:48] <Dawson> RyanPrior; how could I tell?
[20:48] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: Install Hardy fresh... I haven't had any issues with it!
[20:48] <RyanPrior> Dawson: try running memtest86
[20:48] <Myrtti> Baby_Shambl3s: gnome-terminal?
[20:48] <antic> zerodamage: me too :) failsafe gnome works, but still its not loaded properly
[20:48] <Lynet> fifthrune: Anyway, special characters in file names (don't get me started on silly non-US-ASCII bugs) is an issue that unfortunately rears its ugly head now and again. Only way to fix them all is to make sure bug reports get filed when they show up.
[20:48] <fifthrune> 2.0 should have all the settings it had when you were in Gutsy
[20:49] <Baby_Shambl3s> Myrtti: x died, sudo wont work cause it dont recognise the host, im newb can you try and help us out
[20:49] <Baby_Shambl3s> Myrtti: nope pure bash
[20:49] <Dawson> RyanPrior; is that off the LiveCD, or a 3rd Party App? Currently I have no OS on my machine...
[20:49] <fifthrune> Lynet: should I go to VLC forums to report it then cuz I didn't see a bug report link in program
[20:49] <Myrtti> Baby_Shambl3s: eygh.
[20:49] <RyanPrior> Dawson: that's on the LiveCD. :-)
[20:49] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: Her X is broken... her sudo access is gone... etc... she'll need to reinstall cuz the normal fix to get sudo back appears to not be applicable.
[20:49] <Konflikt> Anyone help me im trying to duel boot Vista and Ubuntu64. During installation ubuntu sees my raid 0 drives as 2 separate hard drives.
[20:50] <fde> Myrtti: ^^
[20:50] <Dawson> RyanPrior; awesome, would you happen to know where?
[20:50] <zerodamage> No, so Ive tried 8 times now, manual and automatic install, and each time it blanks, and I have to reset xorg.conf
[20:50] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: sorry
[20:50] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: you have been fortunate but if i install it fresh it will be my forth time or fifth
[20:50] <jrib> fde: what's the "normal fix"?
[20:50] <agro1986> help: anyone knows where mozilla stores its cache?
[20:50] <Myrtti> Baby_Shambl3s: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?

[20:50] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: so im hosed than AHHHH stupid 8.04
[20:50] <fifthrune> Thanks
[20:50] <fde> jrib: single user, ensure /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname matches
[20:50] <zerodamage> And everywhere I try to find som info, it just says to reset to NV drivers, instead of nvidia
[20:51] <jrib> fde: why isn't that applicable?
[20:51] <fde> !fixsudo
[20:51] <Baby_Shambl3s> Myrtti: cant use any sudo commands it returns unknown host
[20:51] <agro1986> help: anyone knows where mozilla firefox stores its internet browsing cache files?
[20:51] <erUSUL> Baby_Shambl3s: you have to edit your /etc/hosts and make the first line read "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost «yourhostname»"
[20:51] <RyanPrior> Dawson: It used to come up as an option in the main menu. Does it not anymore?
[20:51] <Myrtti> Baby_Shambl3s: boot to single user (hit esc when grub loads)
[20:51] <Myrtti> Baby_Shambl3s: then check what erUSUL said
[20:51] <fde> How do you make ubottu list more matches when it says "and 6 more"?
[20:52] <Konflikt> help: Anyone help me im trying to duel boot Vista and Ubuntu64. During installation ubuntu sees my raid 0 drives as 2 separate hard drives.

[20:52] <zerodamage> antic: Have you figured out anything, even a remotely possible fix?
[20:52] <jrib> ^Tech-Help^: gvim
[20:52] <^Tech-Help^> thanks
[20:52] <Dawson> RyanPrior; running Memtest, is there anything specific I should be looking for?
[20:52] <erUSUL> Baby_Shambl3s: also make sure the second is "<IP_ADDRESS> «yourhostname»"
[20:53] <RyanPrior> Dawson: failed tests.
[20:53] <Dawson> RyanPrior; that would make sense. :-P Will let you know how it turns out.

[20:53] <Gohalien> arf
[20:53] <jokoon> hello I have a "static" sound when playing a movie with vlc, with my powerpc laptop
[20:53] <fde> erUSUL: although mine defines <IP_ADDRESS> as hostname and <IP_ADDRESS> as localhost ... which is weird.
[20:53] <RyanPrior> Dawson: note that it runs for as long as you'll let it - the longer you run it, the more sure you are that you don't have memory defects.
[20:54] <RoAkSoAx> fde, that is because you have two network cards, right?
[20:54] <ttmontoya> Can anybody tell me why I cant watch anime streaming
[20:54] <Baby_Shambl3s> erUSUL: I need sudo access for that no sudo no fail safe wait let me check on that wil restart see if failsafe in grub works *croses fingers*
[20:54] <erUSUL> fde: mine works without hotname on the first line (it is like yours) but i have see other people fix it with the steps i gave
[20:54] <fde> jokoon: your mic is muted?
[20:54] <fde> RoAkSoAx: no
[20:54] <Dawson> RyanPrior; ah, ok. Test % went from 1-100, then back to 1 again. How long would you recommend waiting?
[20:55] <ttmontoya> Can anybody tell me why I cant watch anime streaming
[20:55] <RyanPrior> Dawson: I usually give it at least 10 minutes, or if I'm testing new RAM, an hour or so.
[20:55] <DefineByte> What package is the open source ati driver located in? I might as well try reinstalling it.
[20:55] <SimplySeth> what is the default runlevel for ubuntu ?
[20:55] <RyanPrior> ttmontoya: No, we cannot tell you why that is.
[20:55] <jrib> SimplySeth: 2
[20:55] <fde> erUSUL: The fact that hostname and localhost are different IP's makes me wonder whether it was sound advice... there has to be some reason that they are different.
[20:56] <Dawson> RyanPrior; thanks so much. I'll let you know how it turns out - if it is a memory issue; does that require a hardware fix, or is there a workaround?
[20:56] <DefineByte> (having said that, the restricted binary doesn't work either. >.>)
[20:56] <ttmontoya> can you help me fix it
[20:56] <RyanPrior> Dawson: if it's a memory issue, you'll need to buy new memory.

[20:58] <fde> tim167: it is a library updater... type 'whatis ld' in a terminal, and man ld for more info

[21:01] <WiglyWorm> Question: If i install Ubuntu using Wubi from inside windows.. isn't it supposed to change the boot manager and let me select to boot directly in to ubuntu?
[21:01] <graham> sorry, the question is quite complex because i do not know the extent of the problem but,
[21:01] <tim167> fde, ok i cancelled it after 20 minutes, ill reinstall the package and leave it even longer...
[21:01] <fde> jokoon: "Front Mic" ... does it have an X and all the way down?
[21:01] <agro1986> help: i can't seem to find the graphical partition editor? where is it on the menu and what is it named?
[21:01] <graham> i need to reconfigure my 1.5 grub bootloader to recognize my windows raid0 ntfs partitions
[21:01] <fde> tim167: what kind of system you have?
[21:01] <Bodsda> graham, just give us all the info you have in 1 post so everyone has the oppertunity to help
[21:01] <SimplySeth> agro1986: gparted or kparted
[21:01] <cmdbbq> so, quick query, anyone know how risky it would be to resize a reiserfs partition
[21:02] <cmdbbq> ???
[21:02] <Zaiden> SimplySeth: Yep :>
[21:02] <Bodsda> graham, you can edit menu.lst and add it manually
[21:02] <RyanPrior> cmdbbq: Risky enough that you'll want to have backups of any mission-critical data.
[21:02] <usser> fde, yes i believe it does
[21:02] <tim167> fde ubuntustudio Gutsy on a thinkpad g40
[21:02] <Zaiden> Is it normal for Pidgin to take up 1.8Gb of memory?
[21:02] <fde> graham: There is an Examples section in /boot/grub/menu.lst ... uncomment it (remove the #'s) reboot and see if it'll boot.
[21:02] <vega--> after gutsy->hardy upgrade firefox says "site not found" for ALL websites, why? (other browsers work, offline mode is not on, there is no proxy set), 2.0 experiences the same
[21:02] <cmdbbq> RyanPrior thanks that is what i figured
[21:02] <agro1986> weird, is gparted not installed by default? because it's on the live CD, right?
[21:02] <SimplySeth> cmdbbq: very dangerous .. there is a good chance you might succeed .. and slight chance you might destroy your data :)
[21:02] <vega--> seems it as probems with dns
[21:02] <graham> the problem is i cant access the drives becuase i think their ntfs
[21:02] <alecs> hey there
[21:03] <graham> and they are raid0
[21:03] <Bodsda> graham, ubuntu can access ntfs file systems no problem
[21:03] <SimplySeth> graham: install ntfsconfig :)
[21:03] <fde> usser: I only ask cuz apt-cache show flashplugin-nonfree-pulse doesn't return anything... the package is there, but that info isn't... it'll be handy if it does.
[21:03] <graham> but they are the kind of raid that needs windows XP to be running, i think
[21:03] <usser> fde, oh yea hm it wasnt installed on my comp so i guess advice is to apt-get libflashsupport thanks for noticing that
[21:03] <ijusten> hi, any idea why gnome stops working on midnight?
[21:03] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde, erUSUL: ahve no clue what happened when I went to failsafe in grub tried option fix xorg which failed and rm -rf xorg.conf which also failed but some how on restart ive gotten back to flux, everythign is the same as I left it o_0 what is going on?
[21:03] <graham> when i open up disk manager it says they are 2 seperate unallocated drives
[21:03] <jokoon> fde : it didn't, I put those and it doesn't chance anything
[21:04] <alecs> hey there
[21:04] <ijusten> Sounds stop working, firefox crashes and refuses to start again (shows up in the system process, though=
[21:04] <ijusten> and generally the computer needs a reboot
[21:04] <Bodsda> graham, you need a raid compatible pice of software (not necessarilywindows)
[21:04] <fde> jokoon: Then I'm not sure, that is the usual reason for hearing static.
[21:04] <SimplySeth> ijusten: prolly somethin' goofy with powersave mode .. just an idea
[21:04] <RyanPrior> graham: As far as I know, it's difficult for Windows software RAID to be usable by Linux. If you want a cross-compatible RAID array, you'll probably need to use a hardware RAID controller.
[21:04] <WiglyWorm> So after installing Ubuntu while inside windows... how do I actually get in to ubuntu?
[21:04] <ijusten> SimplySeth, I'm usually at computer at that time.
[21:04] <alecs> i want to upgrade my server from ubuntu 5.04 to 7.10
[21:04] <alecs> ?
[21:04] <ijusten> How would I disable this?
[21:05] <jokoon> fde : it some very loud static like a big shhhhhhhhhh
[21:05] <graham> well is there anyway i can only reconfig my grub, so it will recognize my windows XP upon boot
[21:05] <alecs> ** it wasn't a question ... the real one is how can i do it
[21:05] <ijusten> WiglyWorm, just boot up the computer, there should be a preference menu up about five second that should let you switch to ubuntu
[21:05] <bandyo> hi all
[21:05] <SimplySeth> ijusten: .. system menu .. preference .. power save .. mebbe .. dunno
[21:05] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde, erUSUL: ahve no clue what happened when I went to failsafe in grub tried option fix xorg which failed and rm -rf xorg.conf which also failed but some how on restart ive gotten back to flux, everythign is the same as I left it o_0 what is going on? any ideas how i cna check what the heck previously happened?
[21:05] <WiglyWorm> That's what I thought.
[21:05] <crimsun> fde: flashplugin-nonfree-pulse is the name of the Debian unstable package.
[21:05] <WiglyWorm> That is not coming up.
[21:05] <ijusten> WiglyWorm, inside windows, theres also a window where you can set the ubuntu boot option as number uno
[21:05] <RyanPrior> WiglyWorm: When you install Ubuntu using Wubi, it adds an "Ubuntu" item to your Windows boot loader, which will show for about 3 seconds when you're booting up the computer. During that time, choose which one you want to load - Windows or Ubuntu - and the bootloader will take you to your login screen.
[21:06] <fde> alecs: Go with Hardy, it's an LTS... but you have to upgrade to 5.10 and 6.04 first... then you can skip to 8.04
[21:06] <crimsun> fde: libflashsupport is the name of the Ubuntu package providing a superset of the Debian unstable package's functionality.
[21:06] <usser> fde, wow now that i look thru repos it is indeed not there, but i've seen it a couple of days ago
[21:06] <WiglyWorm> The boot loader doesn't show.
[21:06] <jokoon> fde : it some very loud static like a big shhhhhhhhhh, like when you decode some random file as an mp3
[21:06] <ijusten> SimplySeth, didn't see anything there that would tie to midnight or clock in general
[21:06] <RyanPrior> WiglyWorm: Have you completed the Wubi installation yet?
[21:06] <SimplySeth> ijusten: .. then I have no idear :-/
[21:06] <alecs> fde. but how do i update ... because 5.04 is not supported anymore
[21:06] <slaxaxe> hi guys... I need some help in installation of hardy... I have got the repository of hardy heron on my hard disk 21+ GB ... I just have to update using " apt-get dist-upgrade " .. I am a bit worried about few things [need to backup drivers ? etc etc ].. if anyone can help me on that...
[21:07] <soto> Did linux-igd or upnpd stop working for anyone on upgrade to Hardy?
[21:07] <WiglyWorm> I think so? apparently not.
[21:07] <fde> crimsun: Hmm, thanks for clarifying...
[21:07] <graham> i think when i tried to install ubuntu, i messed up and it put grub bootloader on my NTFS silimage windows raid0 drives
[21:07] <RyanPrior> WiglyWorm: Try uninstalling it and installing it again.
[21:07] <WiglyWorm> Do I have to do something after it prompts me to reboot?
[21:07] <SimplySeth> slaxaxe: what are you runnin' now ?
[21:07] <graham> so i think i need to reconfigure grub to recognize the windows XP upon boot
[21:07] <RyanPrior> WiglyWorm: No, at that point it should be ready for you to reboot, and the boot loader should show right as the computer starts up.
[21:07] <WiglyWorm> Hm...
[21:07] <slaxaxe> SimplySeth: right now I am on gutsy
[21:07] <Bodsda>  graham, insert your xp cd, go to recovery mode and type     fixmbr        then reboot
[21:07] <WiglyWorm> Any known issues with Wubi and Windows Vista? <.<
[21:08] <graham> xp doesnt see the raid hardrives
[21:08] <jokoon> it is more like vlc is decodinh the sound inproperly
[21:08] <Dawson> RyanPrior; Memtest Walltime is reading 16 minutes; no errors....any other ideas?
[21:08] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: any opinion/suggestion? its working now but why and whay wasnt it working before?
[21:08] <graham> although, ill try that anyway thank you, but you could be hearing from me in 30 minutes
[21:08] <icecube76766> hello ,how can i add i/o serial port
[21:09] <ToxicSoul2> Hey I'm having an issue, I rebooted my box and now every time it boots it loads BusyBox.. The only thing on the system in Ubuntu and I booted a live cd and could mount all the partitions fine..
[21:09] <Dennis> hello all, i have a problem with virtualbox. when i try to instal windows, i get this error
[21:09] <Dennis> VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic..

[21:09] <bandyo> I went installed Ubuntu using Wubi. It did not prompt me to transfer user data from XP. Is it normal?
[21:09] <fde> alecs: You could still probably do it, but it wouldn't be supported, and you'd have to look into anything that changed... In the future you should really stick to LTS releases.
[21:10] <SimplySeth> slaxaxe: google is my friend :) http://www.ubuntugeek.com/upgrade-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-to-ubuntu-804-lts-hardy-heron.html
[21:10] <WiglyWorm> Eh... I want to do the real install anyway. Ubuntu just won't recognize my fakeRAID
[21:10] <CountDown> How can I determine the size of the various /dev/sda disks?
[21:10] <ToxicSoul2> CountDown, fdisk -l
[21:10] <icecube76766> wich i/o pci serial compateble with ubuntu?
[21:10] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: Not really... I'm not sure what the fix X function would have done... dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I don't think would have unless you skipped what I said about DISPLAY
[21:10] <fde> Baby_Shambl3s: You have sudo access back?
[21:11] <ToxicSoul2> Anyone have any ideas why when I boot the system loads busybox?
[21:11] <eLuminx> is anyone having any problems trying to open gstreamer-properties on hardy 64bit?
[21:11] <SimplySeth> ToxicSoul2: nvidia card ?
[21:11] <alecs> fde ... for the moement i am an ubuntu 7.10 user ... and i wnat toi install a machine and i don't have my CD... just this old ubuntu
[21:11] <ToxicSoul2> SimplySeth, yes
[21:11] <Dawson> Ryan Prior; the Memtest walltime is reading 19 min; no errors....is there anything else I could do?
[21:11] <WiglyWorm> The RAID setup tutorial I saw says to do this:
[21:12] <SimplySeth> ToxicSoul2: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/173418
[21:12] <WiglyWorm> "fdisk -u -l /dev/sda" (if sda is not your disk, change it)". I tried that command and got no output like it seemed I was supposed to. How do I know what my disk?
[21:13] <fde> alecs: Ahh, then yes, 7.10 -> 8.04 upgrade is supported... sudo update-manager -c
[21:13] <CountDown> To answer my own question, gparted will work.
[21:13] <ToxicSoul2> SimplySeth, LiveCD works fine though, ... I'
[21:13] <WiglyWorm> Erm.. what my disk is?  I just followed the instruction in the last post and I'm up and running
[21:13] <lunchbox2> I'm looking for some help transfering files between HDDs - everytime I try and move to a backup disk it tells me /media/dis...filename cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to read it. - any ideas?
[21:14] <alecs> fde... i know that ... i am intrested how i do a 5.04 upgrade to something more newer ...
[21:14] <Dawson> Enountering an error when installing Ubuntu 8.04 from the LiveCD, the Loading Linux Kernel dialogue hangs at 67%...can anyone help?
[21:14] <fde> WiglyWorm: df -h tells device.
[21:14] <Flannel> alecs: You'll need to upgrade to 5.10, then to 6.06, from there you can jump straight to 8.04 if you'd like.
[21:14] <WiglyWorm> Thank you.
[21:14] <earthsound> i recently upgraded from kubuntu 7.10 > 8.04 & and see that firefox 3 was installed on top of 2.x.  flash isn't working, although libflashplayer.so is in the plugins folder. any ideas on how I can get this working again?
[21:14] <iceman84x> #ubuntu-it
[21:14] <ToxicSoul2> SimplySeth, the link you gave me has to do with low resolution and the liveCD .. nothing to do with what I'm talking about
[21:15] <Flannel> alecs: However, you may be interested in just reinstalling, just due to the multiple steps.  But we can help you either way
[21:15] <SimplySeth> ToxicSoul2: ahh .. ma bad :-/
[21:15] <earthsound> konqueror says that it has flash 9.0.115, though 9.0.124 is in firefox's plugins folder
[21:15] <slaxaxe> SimplySeth: thanks for the link... I already know that, but the thing which is different here is 1. the repository is on my Hard disk unlike on internet 2. I need to know how to change the files sources.list and mirror.list, since I even have gutsy repository on my hard disk, I need to know when to run 'apt-get dist-upgrade' before adding hardy repository or after adding the repository.... 3. I want to understand if my video drivers and other drivers has to be
[21:15] <WiglyWorm> Does Ubuntu live CD have an IRC client on it so I can actually try this out and ask for help inside the installer? I'm runing in Windows right now, which doesn't help me much at all.
[21:15] <fde> alecs: Not supported... you can change instances of 'breezy' (I think was 5.04?)  to hardy and try to sudo apt-get dist-upgrade... but it likely will likely cause a lot of issues for you.
[21:15] <andresj> WiglyWorm: yes
[21:15] <Flannel> WiglyWorm: It only has GAIM, which is functional
[21:16] <Ashfire> Ok, when i was running gusty i had a lot less problems. Right now i have: 1. The gdm login screen is for 1280x1024 but the screen res is at 1024x768, so the login screen gets clipped. 2. The PulseAudio server detects none of the different volume controls (i have only a master volume) (using alsa instead so i can control sound) 3. My computer just locked up and the kernel froze (numlock stoped changeing and magic sysrq did nothing) and i had this
[21:16] <Ashfire> once before
[21:16] <alecs> Flannel: as i said before ... i do not have the CD ... (is 11:16 PM here )
[21:16] <Flannel> fde, alecs, that upgrade is supported, and there's more steps than just that.
[21:16] <WiglyWorm> That should work, if I can get in here and pester you guys if needed. ~_^
[21:16] <doobe01> WiglyWorm: You can either use Gaim or install XChat.
[21:16] <Dawson> Having trouble installing Ubuntu 8.04 from the LiveCD; the Loading Linux Kernel Dialogue hangs at 67%...any ideas, anyone?
[21:16] <miroslav> česky?
[21:16] <fde> Flannel: not from 5.04 -> anything as 5.10 is dead, and you can't skip releases to be supported.
[21:16] <Flannel> alecs: Well, you can either download the CD, or do it all from the internet, which will be multiple GB of downloads
[21:17] <WiglyWorm> Ok, then I'll very likely be seeing you people shortly. :)
[21:17] <fde> Flannel: Unless it's LTS -> LTS
[21:17] <shadowdude77> Could anyone help me with this problem I'm having during installation of 8.04? I get up to step 4 where it asks how I want to partition the disk. Before I booted from this LiveCD, I used a partition manager in Windows XP to leave 56.4GB of space unformatted, because I was planning on using it for Ubuntu. But when I pressed Forward, I got a message saying "too small size." What gives? Does anyone know? Thanks in advance.

[21:20] <miroslav> jak na česky ubuntu?

[21:21] <suwro> does anyone know if it is possible for an application to go over the gnome pannel? - ex: gimp is not covering gnome pannel - so I have like 1cm of my wide screen unused.

[21:23] <shadowdude77> Sorry, I have another question. What do I put into the mount point section of the manual partition option? Also, I should use ext3, right?

[21:24] <Kir> hi
[21:24] <fde> !hi | Kir

[21:24] <Rampage> Whenever I insert a blank DVD into the Drive I get a segmentation fault error in linuxdc++. Any ideas as to why that may be?
[21:24] <wakka-wakka> is there a way to get a higher resolution? i knoy my video card is capable of more then 800x600, but it's not showing up..
[21:25] <biouser> This particular error is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk
[21:25] <biouser> that is hard to believe

[21:25] <smallfoot-> but fix my calendar
[21:25] <Rampage> Umm its not a faulty DVD, as I burnt it and its not causing any trouble now.
[21:25]  * Bodsda knows the feeling, and symapthises with fde
[21:25] <Baby_Shambl3s> fde: how did you figure out it would take less when I have no clue what happened?
[21:25] <usser> Ashfire908, oh nvm then, add this to turn off the logo after line 76  Option "NoLogo" "1"
[21:25] <biouser> shadowdude77: yes ext3

[21:26] <fouad> hi , I can't find the file /etc/inittab in Hardy , is that normal ??
[21:26] <thiebaude> smallfoot:are you in 2008?
[21:26] <Bodsda> shadowdude77, depends what you made the partition for?
[21:26] <biouser> shadowdude77:       '/' if you want it to be the partition that has the installation... you will need to make a swap too
[21:26] <Ashfire908> usser, ok, thanks
[21:26] <usser> Ashfire908, that should take care of it, restart your xserver if anything goes wrong in the command line sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.back /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:26] <Ashfire908> usser, yeah i know
[21:27] <usser> Ashfire908, oh ok :P

[21:27] <jamic> Hello guys and girls
[21:27] <shadowdude77> biouser: if I want it to be the partition with the installation? What else would it be? I'm so confused right now >.<
[21:27] <Dawson> jquest; I formatted the entire drive earlier on in trying to install Ubuntu. I was previously using a faulty CD, that let me format but stalled on the Ubuntu install. I replaced the CD, but now I can't install. :(
[21:27] <Ashfire908> Two issues left: 1. The PulseAudio server detects none of the different volume controls (i have only a master volume) (using alsa instead so i can control sound) 3. My computer just locked up and the kernel froze (numlock stoped changeing and magic sysrq did nothing) and i had this once before
[21:27] <jamic> hey i was wondering if someone know how to install an atherros AR5700EG
[21:27] <jamic> ?
[21:27] <Ashfire908> er yes i know it's 1. then 3.
[21:27] <jquest> i have a quick proftpd question, no one in #proftpd is answering: i'm running mythbuntu and i want to set it up so that my roommates can connect and put stuff on the server. problem is that the hard drive is pretty small and i want to set it up so that i can manually move files onto an external drive. i want to be able to log in to the server and do this, but i cant set my default path as / . anyone know of a way i can work around this?
[21:27] <ToxicSoul2> Man you would think by now I would of learned to remove the proposed package repository from my system.. If anyone has issues of booting recently with BusyBoy loading.. just pop in a live cd, mount your hdd, dev, and proc, then chroot in apt-get update, apt-get ugprade and reboot and it goes away =p
[21:27] <Kir>  tell me please how to change keyboard layout?
[21:28] <Puppy_fam> Hey! Can someone help me with mounting a usb hard-drive? When I try and access it on my computer it gives me an error.
[21:28] <jquest> Dawson: have you tried using the partitioner on the livecd to repartition the drive? how are you going about doing the partitioning?
[21:28] <ToxicSoul2> Puppy_fam, helps if you say what the error is.

[21:29] <jamic> OON UBUNTU 8
[21:29] <Rampage> jquest, you can configure proftpd to lock people in their home directories. Then link/set the home directory of the user you want to give access to accordingly by editing /etc/passwd.
[21:29] <bandyo> hi thiebaude
[21:29] <Ashfire908> usser, jquest need to move files across drives

[21:30] <mr_boo> such as triple buffering and threaded optimize
[21:30] <Puppy_fam> ToxicSoul2, Cannot mount volume. Unable to mount volume '450G Harddrive'. and then there is a bunch of details.
[21:30] <usser> mr_boo, you mean compiz?
[21:30] <Dawson> Jquest; on the faulty CD I set the entire drive to format, I'm single-booting so I didn't need to partition. I haven't been able to reach the partition screen on the proper LiveCD install yet, the Linux Kernel load hangs on me before I can reach there.
[21:30] <usser> mr_boo, nvm
[21:30] <DFM> Need help adding multiple workstations to the task bar at the bottom. I have forgotten everything.

[21:30] <tadzhikaz> jamic, i have a same problem...

[21:30] <Ashfire908> jquest, you might be able to trick proftpd and make a symlink... though i don't know an actual way to start from the root (but that's unsecure to give full file root access, even if unprivledged
[21:31] <pierfrag> does anyone know how upgrade the firmware of a liteon dvd-burner using ubuntu hardy heron? I tried using wine but it doesn't work....
[21:31] <jquest> izak: quick answer... try going into synaptic (Applications->System->Synaptic package manager) and try searching for 'login'

[21:31] <mr_boo> in windows there is a program called "nvidia config" or something like that
[21:32] <Puppy_fam> Hey, can someone help me mount a usb hard-drive. When I try and access it on my computer it says: Cannot mount volume. Unable to mount volume '450G Harddrive'. and then there are a bunch of details.
[21:32] <mr_boo> one can for example enable triple buffering
[21:32] <jquest> Ashfire908: i realize its pretty insecure. how do you make a symlink?
[21:32] <bardyr> mr_boo, install nvidia-settings
[21:32] <Flannel> MystaMax: You sure you installed xubuntu-desktop and not ubuntu-desktop?
[21:32] <Lynet> Are UUIDs preserved when resizing partitions? (Pr more specifically, where are uuids stored?)
[21:32] <mr_boo> bardyr: i've got that installed
[21:32] <Ashfire908> jquest, the comand program is ln. if you use ln, make sure to use the option -s
[21:32] <mr_boo> bardyr: but i can't find where to enable triple buffering
[21:32] <bardyr> mr_boo, it should provide you with most configuration options
[21:33] <Ashfire908> jquest, natulis has a context menu option for links i think
[21:33] <DFM> thiebaude:Thanks I can't believe I forgot that. Guess that happens when you don't tun Ubuntu all the time.
[21:33] <izak> my login window is not displayed when i start ubuntu ...i have to blind type my username and password...i have gdm installed...does any1 know hpow to fix this?
[21:33] <wakka-wakka> bardyr: do you know the line of code to install nvidia drivers?
[21:33] <hilary> hiya, I can't get any java applets to work in firefox, I just get a blank screen, the plugin reports installed and enabled in about:plugins, but it's new plugin for HH -GCJ Web Browser Plugin 0.96-pre, does anyone know if it's buggy?
[21:33] <jquest> Ashfire908: thanks. ill try using ln.
[21:33] <thiebaude> dfm:your welcome
[21:33] <bardyr> wakka-wakka, what card?
[21:33] <jquest> Dawson: what liveCD are you using?
[21:33] <Andycas> How to edit emerald themes?
[21:33] <MystaMax> Flannel: I'm positive. I'm using hardy in a Virtual machine, and verified it twice
[21:33] <thiebaude> dfm:i know i forgot alot of windows things since i dont have it on my computer:lol
[21:34] <wakka-wakka> bardyr: generic nvidia card which came with a compaq presario a while back, i had a line on gutsy that ran it perfectly (gave me options of all drivers) however, that line isn't working now.
[21:34] <Flannel> MystaMax: Is ubuntu-desktop also installed?
[21:34] <in1> im trying to recover grub, how do i do that from the DesktopCD?
[21:34] <bardyr> wakka-wakka, sudo jockey-gtk

[21:34] <jamic> OON UBUNTU 8
[21:34] <DFM> thiebaude: I was able to add it but it is only giving me 2 spaces. I select properties and choose 4 then close. Still only 2 show
[21:34] <jamic> hey i was wondering if someone know how to install an atherros AR5700EG
[21:34] <in1> Thank u...
[21:34] <bardyr> MBDL-Inc, use ndiswrapper
[21:34] <thiebaude> dfm:1 sec and i'll check
[21:35] <wakka-wakka> bardyr: that just opens the hardward drivers section of administration, that driver wouldn't work.
[21:35] <MBDL-Inc> bardyr: tryed it it will display the device but the device doesnt enable
[21:35] <MystaMax> Flannel: I didn't check to see that. Right after I installed xubuntu desktop and restarted, it looked just like my gnome desktop, and not xfce4
[21:35] <bardyr> wakka-wakka, it should work
[21:35] <zvacet> Lynet : if not run sudo blkid to see UUIDs and gksudo gedit /etc/fstab to compare if they are not same replce one from blkid to fstab
[21:35] <izak> i have gnome display manager installed but my login window is not displayed when i start ubuntu ...i have to blind type my username and password....does any1 know how to fix this?
[21:35] <thiebaude> dfm:choose # of workspaces
[21:35] <bardyr> MBDL-Inc, what broadcom model?
[21:35] <MBDL-Inc> bardyr: i dont know anymore... how would i find it out in windows
[21:36] <wakka-wakka> bardyr: nah it doesn't work.. maybe this might help, when i was on gutsy, i used this code 'dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' and it gave me selections
[21:36] <bardyr> MBDL-Inc, lspci
[21:36] <Dawson> J-quest; the latest LiveCD availible - 8.04 for an Intel Processor.
[21:36] <thiebaude> dfm:right click on the work space and then preferences
[21:36] <thiebaude> dfm:set it to 4
[21:36] <bardyr> wakka-wakka, the cmd will only reset X to default values
[21:36] <bardyr> wakka-wakka, lspci
[21:36] <DFM> thiebaude: I have but it doesn't change.
[21:36] <bardyr> !paste | wakka-wakka
[21:36] <izak> i have gnome display manager installed but my login window is not displayed when i start ubuntu ...i have to blind type my username and password....does any1 know how to fix this?
[21:36] <MBDL-Inc> bardyr: ?
[21:37] <bardyr> MBDL-Inc, type lspci in the terminal and paste it to a pastebin
[21:37] <wakka-wakka> bardyr: lspci?
[21:37] <Flannel> MystaMax: Xubuntu looks an awful lot like Ubuntu at a glance, At the bottom of the application menu, is there a "About xfce" button?
[21:37] <bardyr> wakka-wakka, type it in the terminal and paste it to pastebin
[21:37] <MBDL-Inc>  bardyr: im in windows right now...
[21:37] <thiebaude> dfm:did you click the up-down arrows next to number of workspaces
[21:38] <DFM> thiebaude: When I go back it shows 4 but I still only get 2. Yes I did and it shows 4.
[21:38] <bardyr> MBDL-Inc, btw this should make it work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=734003
[21:38] <Lynet> zvacet: I know how to check and set uuids, and how to edit fstab. My question is how peristent they are, i.e. where they are stored and what operations might erase/change uuids.
