[05:15] <kenneho> Concord_Dawn: I have 1.4 GB of free space on / but Synaptic says I'm short of about 200 MB. I'm intending to upgrade to Ubuntu 6.06. Is it correct that the update require about 1.5 GB of extra space, or are my doing something wrong?
[05:15] <danilo_> there is a chanel in portuguese language?
[05:15] <kdingo> GaiaX11 no problem
[05:15] <hoss> anyone know how to get WMA working for beep on amd64?
[05:15] <Bassetts> how can i view all files in nautilus, like ls -a in nautilus
[05:15] <tenco> Subhuman: thanks, that was the missing bit :-)
[05:16] <kdingo> Bassetts: ctrl+H toggles display hidden files
[05:16] <Subhuman> anytime :)
[05:16] <Bassetts> thanks kdingo
[05:16] <Bassetts> kdingo, you just saved me soo much time, if only i knew this earlier
[05:17] <uduogah> ubuntu just works!!!
[05:17] <uduogah> hate to leave Gentoo and Slackware :-)
[05:17] <pidey> Ok, I am having a problem with getting a specific app to run in wine (other apps run just fine, and other people have reported that this app works fine in wine)
[05:18] <Malikith> uduogah: yeah Ubuntu is a fun little distro, I love it, i'd have to say the three favorite things I like about it is the look of it, the package system and the community
[05:18] <kenneho> I have 1.4 GB of free space on / but Synaptic says I'm short of about 200 MB. I'm intending to upgrade to Ubuntu 6.06. Is it correct that the update require about 1.5 GB of extra space, or are my doing something wrong?
[05:18] <richiefrich> uduogah so does gentoo and all the others
[05:19] <Sphygmos> hey.. what's the best way to install the JRE in ubuntu?
[05:19] <kdingo> pidey you searched for it in here: http://appdb.winehq.org/ ?
[05:19] <pidey> yes.
[05:19] <uduogah> yes with a bit of pain and intelligence !!
[05:19] <pidey> Its a "bronze" app
[05:19] <richiefrich> uduogah personal preference
[05:19] <pidey> More specifically, PartyPoker.
[05:19] <tenco> ok, next issue. i installed "open in terminal" extension for nautilus, but when i use it, i always get a terminal with cwd $HOME instead of the displayed directory in nautilus
[05:20] <uduogah> i love gentoo. won't leave it. ubuntu is great as a desktop
[05:20] <gostview> Hi all, I've updated my Breezy to Dapper, all goes fine, but my printer HP1020 Laserjet now cannot be detected, although it was before and work fine.
[05:20] <pidey> kdingo so any ideas? Partypoker is a "bronze" application.
[05:20] <gostview> well, actually, it was detect, but it didn't print anything!
[05:21] <gostview> any suggest?
[05:21] <NoUse> gostview have you tried removing it and reinstalling it?
[05:21] <kdingo> pidey, some other people have posted comments about their problems http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=2133
[05:21] <gostview> NoUse> of course I try, nothing happend
[05:22] <kdingo> the bronze rating also seems to be for gentoo and suse, so i guess there's not much testing done for it on ubuntu
[05:22] <pidey> kdingo  it says "PartyPoker 1.2 installes without error."  when I try to wine the installer, NOTHING happens.
[05:22] <richiefrich> gostview is it usb
[05:22] <jrattner1> pidey, party poked sucks through crossover
[05:22] <mystamax_> Malikith: I don't have to map to /media/ right? I can map anywhere I have created a folder?
[05:22] <jrattner1> pidey, ahh through wine... nevermind : )
[05:22] <richiefrich> gostview can u see it  throught --> lsusb
[05:22] <gostview> NoUse>yes, hp1020 usb,  I try to install over foo2zjs, compile it and so on... still nothing.
[05:23] <richiefrich> is it still there.. usb is flaky
[05:23] <kdingo> pidey scroll down, it says it was tested in gentoo and suse
[05:23] <gostview> richiefrich> yes lsusb prompt it
[05:23] <kdingo> i don't know what to suggest.. cross fingers and hope the next update helps?
[05:23] <mystamax_> Malikith: Also, in fstab the type of one of the drives is NTFS, but in gparted it states its a FAT32
[05:23] <richiefrich> so it;s there ?
[05:23] <gavagai> How can I make my ubuntu box limit itself to a certain amount of bandwidth?  I can't do this with my router and i need a way for the ubuntu system to give itself a HARD bandwidth ceiling.
[05:23] <richiefrich> try another cable
[05:24] <pidey> kdingo hmm.  Well thats a bit of a problem if it only works in gentoo and suse.  Could you test it for me, to see if its my computer or ubuntu?
[05:24] <NoUse> gostview have you run through this guide? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HpPrinterInstallationAndMaintenanceDapper
[05:24] <kdingo> pidey, if it doesn't install on ubuntu, maybe you could install it on windows, copy it's reg keys and program files to linux and then try it?
[05:24] <acid2> Hey, anyone using PostgreSQL, I have apt-got it, but I can't work out how to create a new db. Createdb and createuser fails for both root and acid2 (my user) with "role "x" does not exist"
[05:24] <gostview> I try although to re-install dapper and it show me the printer, it made just one and ... stopped again
[05:24] <pitti> acid2: I'm the maintainer :)
[05:25] <pitti> acid2: did you already create a new user for you?
[05:25] <kdingo> pidey, k i will test the install
[05:25] <acid2> pitti: Hmm?
[05:25] <acid2> pitti: I can't create any users
[05:25] <pitti> acid2: /usr/share/doc/postgresql-common/README.Debian.gz
[05:25] <acid2> pitti: thank you :)
[05:25] <harry> how do i install the xmms in dapper drake????
[05:25] <pidey> kdingo aright, I'll try that, how do I tell what regisry keys it used in windows, and how do I open wine's artificial registry?
[05:25] <LjL> sudo aptitude install xmms
[05:25] <pitti> acid2: you should, working as the superuser 'postgres' is dangerous
[05:25] <gnomefreak> harry: sudo apt-get install xmms
[05:25] <dionysos_> sudo apt-get isntall xmms ;)
[05:26] <pidey> kdingo and thank you, my father is a bit on my case about this.
[05:26] <gostview> NoUse> no, I read many tutorial, try many way... always the same old story, it doesn't work
[05:26] <NoUse> gostview have you read this one?
[05:26] <Sphygmos> what's the best way to install the JRE in ubuntu?
[05:26] <harry> gnomefreak: not sudo apt-get install XMMS????
[05:26] <LjL> !javadeb
[05:26] <ubotu> In Breezy: j2re1.4 is in multiverse. In Dapper: sun-java5-jre is in multiverse
[05:26] <gnomefreak> harry: sudo apt-get install xmms
[05:27] <erikh> hi folks
[05:27] <acid2> Perfect, thanks pitti !
[05:27] <NoUse> gostview I have an HP printer and this guide worked for me, so its all I can recommend
[05:27] <acid2> pitti: yea, I wanted to make a new user, but couldn't work out how :/
[05:27] <Sphygmos> what is the multiverse repo? i don't think it's in my pkg mgr
[05:27] <erikh> I have a windows machine and don't have a copy of partition magic, but would like to keep both without reinstalling
[05:27] <erikh> can I use parted to accomplish that these days?
[05:27] <Bassetts> could someone help me with newton? i created the shell script to launch it and put it in ~/.newton but when i try and launch it from the launcher i made i get "newton.sh permission denied"
[05:27] <LjL> erikh: yes, probably
[05:27] <wastrel> gparted should work
[05:27] <kdingo> pidey, if you open a terminal, do `wine PartyPokerSetup.exe' what do you see?
[05:27] <Sphygmos> i have universe repos.. but not multiverse
[05:27] <gostview> NoUse> ok, I'll read it... tnx for now
[05:27] <Neilrobau> gday folks. Trying to install 6.06, the install hangs at "installing the base system', 6%, 'retrieving alsa-utils. Any ideas pls?
[05:27] <erikh> LjL: is that a part of the installation?
[05:27] <kdingo> i get a load of permission denieds
[05:28] <kdingo> ah
[05:28] <Dybber> The network isnt working when i start ubuntu, I need to go to System -> Administration -> Network and disable it and enable it again. Thats just weird, right?
[05:28] <kdingo> my fault
[05:28] <LjL> erikh: during the installation you can modify/resize/etc partitions i think, yes. otherwise just run gparted before installing
[05:28] <pitti> acid2: so you got along with the short howto? I wrote it once for 'the impatient' :) but I don't get much feedback on it
[05:28] <erikh> LjL: awesome. thank you very much!
[05:28] <jrattner1> Anyone have experience setting up an LDAP server?
[05:28] <LjL> Neilrobau: could your CD be corrupted?
[05:28] <pidey> kdingo: no windows pop up, and I am given a new line on the terminal thingy
[05:29] <Lorroya> dsfjifdjajsf
[05:29] <Lorroya> hi helie how are you doing
[05:29] <Neilrobau> I ran the checksum check. That was ok. Shouldnt that eliminate CD probs?
[05:29] <LjL> Neilrobau: yes
[05:30] <Spy> hey whats the easiest way of installign wine?
[05:30] <LjL> sudo aptitude install wine
[05:30] <a_l_e> after an emergency shutdown i'm fsck'ing the disk... it asks "Clone multiply-claimed blocks<y>?" ... yes or no? what's the issue?
[05:30] <LjL> Neilrobau: i don't know, perhaps try with the alternate CD?
[05:30] <acid2> pitti: yup, did exactly what it said, worked a charm
[05:30] <Neilrobau> Could run it again i guess. I tried putting DEBUG=5 on, but no more detail
[05:30] <orbin> Spy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wine
[05:31] <megaman123> hi all .. if i chmod -R a direcorty..how can i reverse it ??
[05:31] <kdingo> pidey mmy wine setup is fucked
[05:31] <wastrel> megaman123:  manually for each individual file
[05:31] <Neilrobau> ty LjL, i'll try that
[05:31] <pidey> kdingo: so it didn't work for you either?
[05:31] <gostview> richiefrich> you makes me grow a doubt, the only thing I didn't try is try another cable!!
[05:31] <visham> hi ppl!!
[05:32] <orbin> megaman123: with great difficulty
[05:32] <visham> lots of nicks in dis channel ha!!
[05:32] <richiefrich> gostview the cables are poorly made
[05:32] <LjL> Neilrobau: it's quite a weak suggestion, though. but i just can't think of a better one
[05:32] <megaman123> wastrel: no other way :(
[05:32] <megaman123> its easier to reinstall :)
[05:32] <Neilrobau> no worries LjL
[05:32] <jrattner1> megaman123, why dont you chmod -R it back to what it was?
[05:32] <orbin> visham: only two: incos and nickrud :P
[05:32] <wastrel> megaman123:  depending on the directory, yes it would be easier to reinstall
[05:33] <orbin> s/incos/nicos
[05:33] <Malikith> mystamax_: Yeah you can mount any drive anywhere as long as there is a directory there in place for it to put all its contents into
[05:33] <gostview> richiefrich> in effect, last time it works and after a while it stopped.... mmmhh!!
[05:33] <kdingo> pidey, i think i just installed wine wrong.. i get perm denied errors just using regedit
[05:33] <megaman123> its the var dir :(
[05:33] <Bassetts> could someone help me with newton? i created the shell script to launch it and put it in ~/.newton but when i try and launch it from the launcher i made i get "newton.sh permission denied"
[05:33] <pidey> kdingo: well thank you for trying to help, I'll figure out something...
[05:33] <Dreamglider> how can i see what ip adress eth0 has ?
[05:34] <mooey> hi, can someone recommend a tool that i can use to search for a string of text in a bunch of files (gui)?
[05:34] <pwuertz> Dreamglider, ifconfig
[05:34] <knight488> am I the only one haing problems connecting to the wine repository?
[05:34] <richiefrich> gostview i'd try to things
[05:34] <richiefrich> gostview  new port and a new cable
[05:34] <pwuertz> mooey, grep is best for that job
[05:35] <Dreamglider> pwuertz,  that does not show the ip
[05:35] <tobberoth> I'm sitting here on Kubuntu (downloaded kubuntu-desktop for ubuntu) and noticed, mp3 is the only working sound!
[05:35] <LjL> mooey: apt-cache show sagasu
[05:35] <gostview> richiefrich> new port yet tried, new cable ... go to buy one new right now
[05:35] <mooey> pwuertz: its for dumb users :) dosen't matter, gnome find does it
[05:35] <mooey> LjL: thanks
[05:35] <tobberoth> For example Kopete doesn't sound
[05:35] <pwuertz> Dreamglider, then eth0 is not active or does not have an ip
[05:36] <richiefrich> gostview  ok... but what new port ?
[05:36] <Dreamglider> pwuertz,  it's set to DHCP
[05:36] <gavagai> Is there a friendly way to setup htb/traffic shaping on ubuntu?  i need my ubuntu box to control its outgoing bandwidth
[05:36] <pwuertz> Dreamglider, then your nic did not recieve an ip by dhcp
[05:36] <richiefrich> gostview  not the same...  port u tried another port as well...  like i menan there's 2 slots to a usb port
[05:37] <harry_> Where does all the upgrade packages go when perfrom an upgrades or updates???
[05:37] <LjL> hey... while dist-upgrading my dapper, i'm getting a lot of messages like this:     tar: ./postinst: time stamp 2006-06-15 13:07:16 is 70223 s in the future
[05:37] <knight488> can someone help me with getting my WLAN working on my laptop? I tried ndiswrapper but it's not working out
[05:37] <LjL> oh wow
[05:37] <wastrel> harry_:  /var/cache/apt/archives
[05:37] <LjL> my computer thinks it's 14/6 rather than 15/6, wonderful
[05:38] <LjL> now why it would think that is beyond me
[05:38] <harry_> wastrel: is it possible to perform an upgrades using only CD's
[05:38] <gostview> richiefrich> yes, I tried with a new PCI slot which I bought for the test
[05:38] <richiefrich> ok
[05:38] <richiefrich> some ppl dont know that
[05:39] <richiefrich> 2 to a usb port
[05:39] <wastrel> harry_:  i don't know
[05:39] <harry_> wastrel: coz i was planning to burn it on a CD. i dont want to always use the net everytime i have to reformat my computer
[05:40] <gostview> richiefrich> so, what port have I try? maybe those motherboard integrated?
[05:40] <knight488> does anyone have some experiance setting up WLAN on laptops?
[05:41] <harry_> when using dapper i dont need to change the sources.list right????
[05:41] <Bassetts> woops, helps if i make the .sh executable
[05:41] <qmf> hey guys, is there a package of the ubuntu logo's avaiable for download?
[05:41] <ubuntu> #orsitaliani
[05:42] <LjL> harry_: you don't *need* to change it, but you might *want* to
[05:42] <harry_> LjL: why is that???
[05:42] <LjL> harry_: uh, to add new repositories.
[05:42] <LjL> !universe
[05:42] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource.
[05:42] <mooey> qmf: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official
[05:44] <harry_> ubotu: but this one is for 6.04?
[05:44] <ubotu> I think you lost me on that one, harry_
[05:44] <LjL> harry_: ubotu is a bot
[05:44] <colin2ireland> Ignite
[05:44] <Ignite> ?
[05:44] <colin2ireland> im scared
[05:44] <Ignite> why?
[05:44] <colin2ireland> just joking
[05:44] <colin2ireland> XD
[05:44] <LjL> harry_: the instruction might be for Breezy, but they work perfectly for Dapper if you just change "breezy" into "dapper" in the files you edit
[05:44] <jrattner> Anyone ever seen this: http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/
[05:45] <Ignite> jrattner, yeah i played with that
[05:45] <rigonatti> Does anyone how to recever the Taks Manager (besides the clock) on Panel ? =(
[05:45] <jrattner> haha thats neat
[05:45] <colin2ireland> as a linux virgin myself, what would you recommend?
[05:45] <colin2ireland> ubuntu?
[05:45] <Ignite> <3 ubuntu
[05:45] <Ignite> colin2ireland, yes
[05:45] <Ignite> :P
[05:45] <harry_> LjL: i dont get it if you just change "breezy" into "dapper" in the files you edit
[05:46] <jrattner> Anyone ever set up an LDAP server before?
[05:46] <Ignite> harry_, if you mean /etc/apt/sources.list then after you do that you have to do "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[05:46] <gavagai> i give up... time to just blow $125 on a router that can do what i need
[05:46] <Ignite> colin2ireland, http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/
[05:47] <LjL> harry_: those links that Ubotu give tell you how to add the Universe and Multiverse repositories to your sources.list. Some of those links might be for Breezy, so they probably mention "breezy" somewhere in the sources.list. If you change instances of "breezy" into "dapper" in the sources.list, it will work for Dapper too
[05:47] <rigonatti> Does anyone how to recever the Taks Manager (besides the clock) on Panel ? =(

[05:52] <orbin> rigonatti: right-click on an empty space on the top panel > add to panel
[05:52] <richiefrich> gostview if u tried other ones then try a cable
[05:52] <Sivik> harry_: not that i know of
[05:53] <richiefrich> gostview  sorry i was yelling at someone
[05:53] <rigonatti> orbin: sorry ..i found it =/
[05:53] <Crescendo> I've installed Ubuntu on an iMac, but since it uses EFI, I can't figure out how to make it automatically restore power after an outage.  How would I go about doing this?
[05:53] <orbin> rigonatti: you can filter the applets. e.g type not and it makes it easier to find it
[05:53] <Crescendo> Second question:  How do I install VMware Server or Workstation on Ubuntu?  Player doesn't have the options I need.
[05:53] <orbin> Sphygmos: w/ wine maybe

[05:57] <orbin> Some_Person: sure it hangs?  maybe it's just authenticating
[05:57] <Some_Person> orbin: but i didn't install wvdial thru repos (i used dpkg and a deb file because i had no internet in ubuntu)
[05:57] <nerdzyboy> thanks
[05:58] <Some_Person> i let it go for an hour
[05:58] <orbin> Some_Person: wvdial's actually on the install cd.
[05:58] <Some_Person> i didnt know that
[05:58] <orbin> Some_Person: heh, that's long enough...try running it in terminal to see for errors
[05:58] <Some_Person> running gnome-ppp?
[05:58] <orbin> yep
[05:58] <Some_Person> ok
[05:58] <Some_Person> i'll have to disconnet first
[05:58] <rigonatti> orbin: I need to restart the system to make efects

[06:01] <mjr> a swap partition, by default
[06:01] <knight488> anyone have experiance with setting up WLAN on a laptop?
[06:01] <ron_o> why do I have a file called: hts-nohup.out
[06:01] <ron_o> in vim it says it's a swap file.

[06:04] <redskull> how can update time
[06:04] <orbin> stupid question: it's just a frontend to iptables right?  does that mean we're no less protected w/ it closed than w/ it open?
[06:04] <NoUse> ron_o probably a dump of a crashed progrma or something
[06:04] <redskull> how can update time
[06:04] <redskull> ????
[06:04] <Crescendo> I've installed Ubuntu on an iMac, but since it uses EFI, I can't figure out how to make it automatically restore power after an outage.  How would I go about doing this?
[06:04] <Some_Person> There were no errors
[06:05] <Cin> orbin, there's not much to protect, Ubuntu is a tight system as it is.
[06:05] <Some_Person> I did see my password pop up in the terminal
[06:05] <knight488> has anyone sucessfuly used ndiswrapper?
[06:05] <Some_Person> it was on a line
[06:05] <ron_o_> I hope I didn't miss an answer to my question..
[06:05] <NoUse> redskull via the clock in the upper right corner
[06:05] <ron_o_> I don't know how I lost xchat.
[06:05] <Some_Person> i tried pressing enter in the terminal to enter that line
[06:05] <Some_Person> but that also failed
[06:05] <jag_> hi! is there anyway to get rid of all settings in ubuntu? like a after a fresh install of ubuntu but without having to install with the cd?
[06:06] <Some_Person> any ideas?
[06:06] <NoUse> ron_o_ its probably just a dump from a crashed program or something
[06:06] <redskull> HOW CAN I APDATE TIME
[06:06] <redskull> ???
[06:06] <ron_o_> it shows many URLs..
[06:06] <NoUse> redskull I just told you, via the clock in the upper right ronder

[06:06] <ubotu> FYI, typing in ALL CAPS is considered to be 'yelling', and therefore rude behaviour.

[06:10] <[NP] Tangent> will Ubuntu work with my US Robotics 56K external modem?
[06:10] <orbin> harry_: packages.ubuntu.com has a file search feature...in any case, looks liek you need python-dev

[06:10] <harry_> orbin : i just installed it using the command sudo apt-get install python-dev
[06:11] <orbin> [NP] Tangent: depends if it's a winmodem, but i have a usr external isn't, and it works great
[06:11] <Inf3ctedFx> Hello everyone
[06:11] <Inf3ctedFx> someone yesterday told me how to use a simbolic link to my root so I can see my gnome themes as a root also anyone knows?
[06:11] <NoUse> jtj no any vnc client shoudl work
[06:11] <tony_> Hi all!
[06:11] <orbin> harry_: k, try that command they give
[06:11] <mheath> [NP] Tangent, does it have a serial like connection?
[06:11] <Dreamglider> so i cant view a ubuntu desktop from another ubuntu desktop without some, anyways ?!="#"@
[06:12] <mheath> *serial line
[06:12] <[NP] Tangent> USR Faxmodem
[06:12] <faracha> Does anyone in ehre have a good dolution for Win/Ubuntu network?
[06:12] <[NP] Tangent> yes, it's a serial connection
[06:12] <faracha> solution*
[06:12] <[NP] Tangent> uses the same cables a printer would
[06:12] <jtj> NoUse ok thanks any reason you could think of why it wont work? or what i could check?
[06:12] <LjL> faracha: ethernet :)
[06:12] <faracha> lol
[06:13] <orbin> [NP] Tangent: should be fine...i think i have the same one..black w/ red writing right?
[06:13] <NoUse> jtj by default it prompts you to allow the incoming connection, that might be one thing, just make sure it has port 5900 open
[06:13] <harry_> orbin:: what command. i dont see anything
[06:13] <mheath> [NP] Tangent, Then yes, it will almost definately work. (BTW, not the same cable as a printer, which uses parallel. One variant of serial uses a parallel like cable)
[06:13] <Crescendo> I've installed Ubuntu on an iMac, but since it uses EFI, I can't figure out how to make it automatically restore power after an outage.   We try to be nice and help but some of us don't like to see such things on our screen.
[06:13] <tony_> Hi all! I need  some clarification: why do i need xgl/compiz beside eyecandy - does it increase performance of x?
[06:13] <faracha> I mean, what do you use? Samba?
[06:14] <orbin> tony_: i'd say decrease :)
[06:14] <faracha> I told vbefore
[06:14] <NoUse> faracha samba is pretty much your only option as its the only protocol windows supports easily out of the box
[06:14] <faracha> Want conection between windows and Ubuntu system, but I get many problems using samba
[06:14] <tony_> orbin, do i need it for 3ddesktop?
[06:14] <ping> hi, I'm having problems with ubuntu since the update yesterday now on my laptop
[06:14] <cherwin> faracha: linux/windows networking == samba
[06:14] <faracha> ok then its clear
[06:14] <faracha> Windows just sucks...
[06:14] <tony_> orbin, why do i need it?
[06:14] <Concord_Dawn> faracha: Samba is pretty much the ONLY option you have to get Windows and Linux to share.
[06:14] <orbin> tony_: eyecandy
[06:14] <Concord_Dawn> faracha: So very try.
[06:15] <ping> its nvidia based, but the update was something about gd yesterday
[06:15] <orbin> tony_: not really a need issue, it's a want issue
[06:15] <ping> what update yesterday decided to break my ubuntu?
[06:15] <Crescendo> How do I install VMWare Server?
[06:15] <acoca> hola
[06:15] <ping> it starts 2 Xorg instances
[06:15] <faracha> thx, I'll just try kicking my windows pc
[06:15] <faracha> ::)
[06:15] <ping> tries running one, and crashes the other
[06:15] <[NP] Tangent> hey mheath, with my modem, that's going to be on /dev/ttyS0, right?
[06:15] <ping> and gets stuck to where its the ugly white/black mesh screen
[06:15] <NoUse> !tell faracha about samba
[06:16] <tony_> orbin, thanx! ill spen my cpu time on other stuff :) ever since i installed k7-smb it has been more fun to use the computer :)
[06:16] <Some_Person> Its no use
[06:16] <Songster52> hello...newbie for ubuntu here.. Have a question.. I am a real novice and have loaded ubuntu server on a computer and it is at the command prompt. How can I get the server started? and how can I get either KDE or Gnome running??
[06:16] <mheath> [NP] Tangent, Yes, assuming its plugged into the first serial port.
[06:16] <harry_> orbin: still nothing i just get this error error: /usr/include/python2.4/pyconfig.h: No such file or directory
[06:16] <Some_Person> I cant get gnome ppp to work
[06:16] <ping> is there a channel for help on ubuntu breakage?
[06:16] <harry_> orbin: still nothing i just get this error error: /usr/include/python2.4/pyconfig.h: No such file or directory if im using the easyinstall process
[06:16] <Crescendo> Songster51: sudo apt-get install xorg
[06:16] <McNutella> whats the help chanel on this server ?
[06:16] <orbin> harry_: which dev package did you install?
[06:16] <cherwin> faracha: you can also use ftp :)
[06:16] <gavagai> Songster52, server has no GUI.  do you want kde or gnome?
[06:16] <orbin> McNutella: you're in it
[06:16] <pernambuco> 7j kubuntu-es
[06:17] <Crescendo> Songster52:  Server doesn't have GUI...
[06:17] <[NP] Tangent> it's plugged into my parallel port, mheath
[06:17] <LjL> Songster52: you're a newbie and you run the server edition? perhaps that's not the best choice. what do you mean "get the server started"? to get kde or gnome, you might want to install ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop
[06:17] <harry_> orbin: python-dev
[06:17] <McNutella> orbin,  I mean the help channel for the server.. as in freenode help stuff ?
[06:17] <harry_> orbin: i just used the command sudo apt-get install python-dev
[06:17] <orbin> harry_: see if grabbin python2.4-dev does anything
[06:17] <ping> lol, what kind of idiot uses a gui for a server ? :P
[06:17] <faracha> yeah, if its the only thing left...
[06:17] <Songster52> either, I guess.. I have no experience wit KDE.. and limited in gnome
[06:17] <orbin> McNutella: #freenode :P
[06:17] <faracha> ftp is to slow for 1 gb
[06:17] <Some_Person> I cant get gnome ppp to work
[06:17] <gavagai> nobody said he was going to use it as an actual server so please don't call him an idiot
[06:17] <McNutella> orbin,  I shoudl hope so :
[06:17] <McNutella> :P
[06:17] <Crescendo> I've installed Ubuntu on an iMac, but since it uses EFI, I can't figure out how to make it automatically restore power after an outage.  How would I go about doing this?
[06:18] <harry_> orbin: nope they say its already the newest version
[06:18] <gavagai> Songster52, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:18] <orbin> McNutella: i think they kick you to freenode-social though and you get muted
[06:18] <Songster52> this one is at work... we are wanting to get it up as a NFS
[06:18] <Crescendo> What is the APT package name for VMware server?
[06:18] <Some_Person> I cant get gnome ppp to work
[06:18] <cherwin> faracha: no it's not...
[06:18] <McNutella> orbin,  that makes sense aye
[06:18] <LjL> Crescendo: there is none
[06:18] <orbin> McNutella: type: /stats p in your irc client and you get the "oncall staff"
[06:18] <Ng> Crescendo: the only vmware packages provided by ubuntu relate to vmware-player
[06:18] <chab7> hi
[06:19] <rigonatti> anyone knows well the Wine ?
[06:19] <Crescendo> Yarrrr.
[06:19] <LjL> !anyone
[06:19] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? </hint>
[06:19] <Crescendo> That's quite annoying.
[06:19] <orbin> harry_: try the ez_setup method: http://www.turbogears.org/download/nix.html#ezsetup
[06:19] <bartman_> Hi! I'm having problems accessing my USB flash disk / MP3 player. Up until i upgraded to dapper the system automatically mounted it and I could see a link to it on the desktop and in the places bar. Now I can't find these links anywhere!
[06:19] <ping> Dpes anyone know why updates break ubuntu? ;)
[06:19] <NoUse> Crescendo its not that hard to install
[06:19] <NoUse> !tell Crescendo about vmware
[06:19] <LjL> Crescendo: ubuntu generally doesn't provide packages for closed-source programs, even though it does in some cases
[06:19] <Songster52> Thanks for the info... I will try the desktop one and then possibly DL the gnome and try and install
[06:19] <Some_Person> Does anyone know how to get gnome ppp to work on breezy?
[06:20] <ProN00b> anyone got a clue why i always have this iptables rule set after reboot ?

[06:20] <Crescendo> VMware server is now open source, though.
[06:20] <Crescendo> Has been for about three months.
[06:20] <jorgp> is there a way to find out what repos a package is in, like sun-java5-jdk
[06:20] <Crescendo> Thanks, NoUse
[06:20] <ping> Crescendo: its not opensource
[06:20] <LjL> Crescendo: it's free, but it was most definitely not open source last i heard
[06:20] <zenit> Hmm.. is it? Thought it was just free but not open source.
[06:20] <jorgp> universe, multiverse, etc..
[06:20] <ping> and btw, only the BETA is free
[06:20] <Some_Person> Does anyone know how to get gnome ppp to work on breezy?
[06:20] <ping> once it becomes release, it won't be free anymore ;)
[06:20] <LjL> ping: though they do state that the server edition will keep being free
[06:21] <zenit> ping: not what I've heard.
[06:21] <Bazzi> VMware *did* open up some of the formats used at least (virtual HD format)
[06:21] <ping> zenit: what page are you looking at, I was reading the server beta product
[06:21] <ping> Bazzi: a good thing. However qemu does very wel already :) for free
[06:21] <Some_Person> Does anyone know how to get gnome ppp to work on breezy?
[06:21] <jtj> ok i found some netstat instruction which i typed and it says tht 5900 as a local address LISTEn so does that mean it should be found by ultravnc on my windows machine
[06:22] <zenit> ping: they stated it quite clearly that it will remain free. Don't have the link though, might have been in the forums.
[06:22] <ping> There was an update yesterday, what was it?
[06:22] <NoUse> Bazzi yeah but you can't redistribute the software so Ubuntu can't put it in apt
[06:22] <Bazzi> ping: I'm using VMWare now because it's the most sophisticated crossplatform vm solution atm :)
[06:22] <ping> Bazzi: qemu works on windows, linux, mac, and BSD.
[06:23] <jae686> is VMware viable for games?
[06:23] <hollowlife1987> no
[06:23] <Bazzi> NoUse: no biggie, vmware works pretty well even unpackaged for me
[06:23] <ping> with the kqemu working on all as well ;)
[06:23] <[NP] Tangent> mheath? you there? It won't autodetect the modem. What port should it be set to? The modem is plugged into the parallel (printer) port.
[06:23] <LjL> jae686: no 3d acceleration (well, a very experimental one) ,so no
[06:23] <Some_Person> there is always the *cough*unofficial*cough*non-free*cough*repos*cough
[06:23] <Ng> jtj: if the Local address is listed as *:5900 then yes, other machines should be able to connect to it
[06:23] <harry_> orbin: its still the same error
[06:23] <Bazzi> ping: yeah true, and pretty good as well, but I still like VMware over it.
[06:23] <harry_> orbin: their method doesnt work
[06:23] <ping> Bazzi: :)
[06:23] <jtj> yeah it is, wonder what else i could try
[06:24] <jae686> i see. i was looking forward do play wipeout 2097 on my ubuntu box, but i dont see it hapening
[06:24] <Ng> jtj: can you ping your ubuntu box from the other machine?
[06:24] <Some_Person> Does anyone know how to get gnome ppp to work on breezy?

[06:27] <hollowlife1987> Crescendo: it would have to do with the hardware it self not Ubuntu
[06:27] <knight488> now if I could only fix my graphicsproblem by installing WoW...
[06:27] <LordSigurd> have the same problem whit my BlueThoot Keyboard n mouse

And as well as that I want to know is anyone knows to make my laptop turn off properly at the moment when i shutdown i get a black screen and i need to pull the battery out (the hardware is all intel)
[06:31] <Blissex> knight488: you should remove the original ATI drivers and use the Ubuntu packaged ones as LjL indicated...
[06:31] <LjL> charles: edit /etc/motd i suppose
[06:32] <jtj> anyone got any ideas i could try to get ultravnc to see a "remote desktop" enabled ubuntu
[06:32] <knight488> hm alright, will try it out... thanks...
[06:32] <Blissex> charles: or '/etc/issue' and check out if any '/etc/init.d/' script generates their content
[06:32] <ping> holy crap
[06:32] <ping> what was the update from yesterday :( *grr*
[06:32] <LjL> knight488: and please remeber that you should *always* try official packages if there are any, first, before installing stuff from external sites
[06:32] <ping> it broke all my computers from booting
[06:32] <ping> all nvidia based
[06:33] <ping> and dual screen
[06:33] <Blissex> ping: don't mention GNOME by its description!
[06:33] <charles> thanks i have not had time to check them out but that lokos like it will work nice do you guys know about my laptop power issue?
[06:33] <LjL> charles: don't have a laptop, sorry
[06:33] <ping> Blissex: it was a update for GNOME, yes :)
[06:33] <ping> well
[06:33] <ping> it was used by gnome
[06:33] <Blissex> charles: it is all about luck. Powering off requires a lot of complicated things...
[06:33] <samuel> nickrud, ubuntu does not have a mail delivery daemon installed by default does it? i just installed exim... is that the recommended mailer?
[06:33] <ping> but its used by many other programs as well
[06:34] <wastrel> postfix is the default i think samuel
[06:34] <jrattner> samuel, doesnt it come with procmail
[06:34] <ping> hmm
[06:34] <nickrud> samuel, I like that one, because there's almost no config needed. Others like postfix
[06:34] <ping> maybe it was gdm :)
[06:34] <Blissex> samuel: but 'exim' is pretty good/flexible, so keep it.
[06:34] <ping> I don't see why its broken now
[06:34] <wastrel> exceem
[06:34] <ping> it starts 2 Xorg servers
[06:34] <Blissex> ping: GDM is more like ''unholy crap'' :-)
[06:34] <Seveas> Blissex, quit it or leave.
[06:35] <Seveas> this is not the place for desktop wars
[06:35] <aero> hi...how can i install xfce without internet?
[06:35] <TrioTorus> What is the policy on setting $PATH? Where to set it?
[06:35] <Blissex> ping: GDM is an X display manager -- it starts as many X servers as you tell it...
[06:35] <Seveas> aero, convince someone to download and burn the ubuntu iso for you
[06:35] <ping> Blissex: it just happens to crash before the second instance ;)(
[06:35] <Blissex> aero: you register your install CD with 'apt-cdrom' and then onwards.
[06:36] <LjL> Seveas, aero: i suppose you mean the *x*ubuntu iso
[06:36] <Seveas> TrioTorus, global setting: /etc/environment, per-user setting ~/.bashrc (or ~/.cshrc or whatevre)
[06:36] <Blissex> ping: then it is buggy and you wait for a fix...
[06:36] <aero> can i instal from a tarball?
[06:36] <Seveas> LjL, my x is failing sometimes (honest!)
[06:36] <TrioTorus> Seveas: I tried /etc/environment, but I'm loosing the setting when I log into X
[06:36] <Blissex> ping: also, it is usually helpful to say exactly how it fails...
[06:37] <Blissex> aero: yes, if you unpack the tarball.
[06:37] <TrioTorus> Seveas: I want true global PATH settings
[06:37] <Seveas> TrioTorus, are you on breezy?
[06:37] <TrioTorus> Seveas: Dapper
[06:37] <ping> Blissex: i'm not sure how its failing :) I see 2 instances of Xorg in ps aux ;) and top says one of them is taking 99% CPU
[06:37] <aero> or i need a special package for Ubuntu Breezy?
[06:37] <LjL> Seveas: perhaps you type "xxx" too many times on google
[06:37] <elephanthunter> What's the command to change the sound device?
[06:37] <Blissex> TrioTorus: there is only one way to do true global PATH settings and you don't want to know how.
[06:37] <harry_> how do you unzip this file setuptools-0.6a11-py2.4.egg
[06:37] <Seveas> TrioTorus, and did you restart X after editing /etc/environment?
[06:37] <TrioTorus> Seveas: I did
[06:37] <Blissex> elephanthunter: you cannot.
[06:37] <harry_> how do you unzip this file setuptools-0.6a11-py2.4.egg
[06:37] <ping> thank the gods my other machines sync to a central repos :) I trust nobody for a good reason
[06:37] <jtj> no? no ideas re vnc? Ok i have a weird screen: on right hand side there is a 1" black border and a half inch one along the bottom. it's as thoguh i need to centre the working screen, any ideas?
[06:37] <Seveas> Blissex, nonsense
[06:38] <harry_> how do you unzip this file "setuptools-0.6a11-py2.4.egg"
[06:38] <elephanthunter> ??
[06:38] <Seveas> elephanthunter, alsaconf or look in the system  preferences menu
[06:38] <LjL> .egg?
[06:38] <Seveas> harry_, you throw it away
[06:38] <aero> ok, thankyou
[06:38] <TrioTorus> Seveas: do I reallo don't want to know how? I survived gentoo. Is that a mark?
[06:38] <tsume__> Blissex: I'm actually converting the company I work for to ubuntu ;) its great.
[06:38] <harry_> Seveas: throw it away???
[06:38] <Seveas> harry_, and you install the python-dev package from synaptic
[06:38] <magenet> does anyone know where to obtain " What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[06:38] <magenet> kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
[06:38] <magenet>  " this? im trying to install vmware player
[06:38] <Blissex> aero: you need to unpack the tarball, and then set up the resulting directory as an APT repository and then register it with APT by adding a suitable path to 'sources.list'
[06:38] <LjL> aero: i don't think you can install from a tarball easily. perhaps you could try debian rather than ubuntu, since it can be installed from floppies (or at least it could last time i tried). with ubuntu, you really do need a CD
[06:39] <Locke_> tsume__: i'm converting my boss and roommate too it
[06:39] <Locke_> to it even
[06:39] <Seveas> magenet, throw out whatever you downloaded
[06:39] <Blissex> tsume__: it is pretty well done indeed.
[06:39] <nickrud> magenet, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[06:39] <Seveas> magenet, and install vmware-player from the ubuntu repos
[06:39] <magenet> ok
[06:39] <Sivik> tsume__, good job
[06:39] <aero> ok, thanyou
[06:39] <Blissex> tsume__: I don't like a few details, but they are a bit technical.
[06:39] <elephanthunter> aplay -l shows me two nvidia devices
[06:39] <nickrud> Seveas, you're right on top of things, again :)
[06:39] <bartmon> Hi!
[06:39] <CountDown> How can I find out in which repository a package is located?  In particular, I'm interested in doxygen.
[06:40] <Seveas> !info doxygen dapper
[06:40] <Locke_> alright well i gotta put on a tie and get to work
[06:40] <ubotu> doxygen: (Documentation system for C, C++, Java, Python and other languages), section devel, is optional. Version: 1.4.6-2ubuntu1 (dapper), Packaged size: 1221 kB, Installed size: 3484 kB
[06:40] <LjL> CountDown: apt-cache show <packagename>
[06:40] <Blissex> aero: having a local directory as an APT repo is a good idea anyhow to put in it stay '.deb's and those you build yourself.
[06:40] <tsume__> Blissex: we have a couple proprietary programs, but we bought 50 "open" licenses of XP. its a non profit, so anything which won't run on linux, they use qemu :)
[06:40] <Seveas> CountDown, it's in main
[06:40] <Blissex> tsume__: ahhhhh clever trick. Also consider Wine of course, it works surprisingly well after 10 years of devel...
[06:40] <Seveas> CountDown, for future reference: apt-cache policy $packagename
[06:41] <bartmon> I'm having problems with Dapper not automounting my usb flash disk. In breezy even a link to the device appeared on the desktop but now it's a no show.
[06:41] <tsume__> suspend/resume in qemu works nicely
[06:41] <Blissex> tsume__: you are too fussy :-).
[06:41] <tsume__> Blissex: yeah, I tried. but it can't run Access 2002 runtime based apps ;)
[06:41] <ubuntu> iemand die nederlands klapt?
[06:41] <jtj> anyone got any suggestions for a black border on the right and bottom of a screen, please?
[06:41] <Seveas> !nl
[06:41] <ubotu> Op #ubuntu-nl staat de koffie al voor je klaar.
[06:41] <LjL> !nl
[06:41] <CountDown> Thanks all... seems I need to look more carefully at my repositories.
[06:41] <Sivik> tsume__, have you tried crossover office?
[06:42] <nickrud> jtj, use the monitor controls to stretch the screen
[06:42] <tsume__> Sivik: tried, didn't work ;)
[06:42] <Sivik> tsume__, ok
[06:42] <jtj> nickrud thanks ill try to find them
[06:43] <gostview> Hi, is there a method for clear desktop from the icons of mounted hard disk partition?
[06:43] <nickrud> jtj, usually buttons on the front of the screen ;)
[06:43] <bartmon> !vmware
[06:43] <ubotu> Please check this out, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingVMWare adjusting kernel versions to your own, to get the number replace the numbers with " `uname -r" The ` is a Backtic
[06:43] <aero> my crossover office worke good
[06:43] <nickrud> gostview, a method is to change /etc/fstab to change the mount points out of /media
[06:44] <CountDown> On a separate note, what's up with GTK buttons and how they don't recognize focus if the mouse is already in its rect when the window regains focus?
[06:44] <larry> I installed ubuntu server, I'm trying to setup samba, but when I run  smbpasswd -a <username /> I don't get a prompt for a password.
[06:44] <magenet> cant find vmware on synaptic
[06:44] <gostview> nickrud> but if I change /etc/fstab from media to /mnt/ they always display on my desktop
[06:45] <e-head> Anyone know if htaccess files are disabled by default for apache2 ?
[06:45] <LjL> magenet: that's because it isn't there (well, the player is)
[06:45] <Sivik> magenet, go to www.vmware.com, theres a .deb package, and install the vmware-server that way
[06:45] <magenet> i went to the site only got
[06:45] <magenet> rpm or tar
[06:45] <nickrud> gostview, sorry, forgot to mention that user or users can't be in the options section in /etc/fstab
[06:45] <magenet> i tried using alien
[06:45] <magenet> to change rpm to deb
[06:45] <LjL> !alien
[06:45] <ubotu> well, alien is [rpm]  the Redhat Package Management file. Very similar to Debian's DEB files, but require alien to install. ask me about !alien. But first, look for a native ubutu deb.
[06:45] <Sivik> magenet, download the tar, there is a .deb inside
[06:45] <magenet> ddint install well
[06:45] <magenet> ok
[06:46] <gostview> nickrud> ok, try that then.
[06:46] <LjL> though the bot gave some further important information about alien. anyway: alien is evil
[06:46] <mirem> helo
[06:46] <jtj> nickrud hehe never used those before, worked a treat hehe, ive always been on laptops b4 never had to do tht thts great, thanks
[06:46] <Bazzi> magenet: use the tar and build it yourself.
[06:47] <Sivik> Bazzi: when you untar it, there is a .deb inside, if i remember correctly
[06:47] <bartmon> Hi!
[06:47] <Sivik> Bazzi: thats how i was trying to install it
[06:47] <nickrud> jtj, I always seem to get caught up on the obvious stuff myself ;)
[06:47] <gostview> nickrud> no users in fstab, the line is this: vfat    defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
[06:47] <Bazzi> uuh
[06:47] <bartmon>  I'm having problems with Dapper not automounting my usb flash disk. In breezy even a link to the device appeared on the desktop but now it's a no show.
[06:47] <Bazzi> I just got the *.pl
[06:47] <Sivik> Bazzi: unless i'm thinking of something else
[06:47] <Bazzi> and ran it
[06:47] <fogos> someone knows  where i can find the xlibs and xlibg6 for opera?
[06:47] <jtj> hehe thanks again
[06:48] <Sivik> Bazzi: the .deb package is in the zip
[06:48] <CountDown> bartmon: USB flash devices seem to work better for me on Dapper.  I haven't had any problems.  What kind of device are you using?
[06:48] <Sivik> magenet, go download the .zip, there is a .deb inside that

[07:05] <anto9us> kidr, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToSetupSoundCards your module is snd-cs46xx
[07:06] <kidr> anto9us: k, will do, ty
[07:07] <nosklo> waterglass, sudo dumpkeys
[07:07] <bartmon>  I'm having problems with Dapper not automounting my usb flash disk. In breezy even a link to the device appeared on the desktop but now it's a no show.
[07:07] <hadi57> any body can help me to copy files to a removable hardisk connected via usb, it gives me message access denied
[07:08] <joebush> Where is the configuration that firefox uses to start applications based on filetype?
[07:08] <rambo> let me know if you find out
[07:08] <joebush> specifically bittorrent
[07:08] <bert_> h
[07:08] <rambo> oh
[07:08] <rambo> well windows handles that
[07:09] <joebush> but where? I am used to file/mimetypes in firefox
[07:09] <rambo> yeah
[07:09] <rambo> haha
[07:09] <edulix> hey!
[07:09] <rambo> i'm trying to remember
[07:09] <edulix> I have prelink installed
[07:09] <edulix> yesterday I did an aptitude update
[07:10] <edulix> and *today* when I restarted the pc, now I'm getting this with gtk/gnome apps (including gdm):
[07:10] <edulix>  error while loading shared libraries: libcairo.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:10] <rambo> ew
[07:10] <rambo> prelink is overrated imo
[07:10] <edulix> I've re-run /etc/cron.daily/prelink but didn't fix a thing
[07:10] <gnomefreak> edulix: sudo apt-get install libcairo-dev
[07:10] <edulix> rambo: kde apps, opera and amsn work perfectly
[07:11] <mattwestm> how do I get the laptop/battery monitor back in the upper right corner?
[07:11] <gnomefreak> mattwestm: right click and add it to panel
[07:11] <gast> hallo
[07:11] <edulix> gnomefreak: the state of libcairo2-dev in my system according to aptitude is:
[07:11] <edulix> iB  libcairo2-dev                             - Development files for the Cairo 2D graphics library
[07:11] <erikh> does gparted normally take > 10 minutes for a 120G drive?
[07:11] <rambo> edulix: probably a localized problem then.... still though, prelink can mess up the libraries pretty bad
[07:11] <edulix> which I belive means "installed"
[07:12] <mattwestm> gnomefreak: I don't see it. I had options for closing the lid and such
[07:12] <mattwestm> it was more than the battery monitor
[07:12] <edulix> rambo: whem starting firefox the error is the same but about libplds4.so
[07:12] <gnomefreak> mattwestm: nmot sure unless it was something that you added from apt/synaptic
[07:13] <gnuaha7> yglez: what's upppppppppppp
[07:13] <gnomefreak> edulix: sudo apt-get build-dep firefox
[07:13] <erikh> heh, this is freaking me out a little. I backed up, but still..
[07:13] <rambo> edulix: :(
[07:13] <mattwestm> gnomefreak: it was there from the start. It was like the power management thing and a battery manager all in one
[07:13] <gnomefreak> edulix: that should take care of any errors you are getting
[07:13] <yglez> gnuaha7, hello!
[07:14] <gnomefreak> mattwestm: i dont see anything like that in mine try killall gnome-panel see if it comes back
[07:14] <edulix> gnomefreak: good :)
[07:15] <erikh> does anyone know roughly how long gparted should take for a 120G drive?
[07:15] <axisys> how do I access to a windows network drive?
[07:15] <LjL> erikh: for doing what?
[07:15] <erikh> resizing ntfs
[07:15] <gnuaha7> axisys: samba
[07:15] <LjL> erikh: i think it depends how full the partition is, and how fragmented the files are
[07:15] <wastrel> i think ubuntu works ok
[07:15] <erikh> I kind of figured that. still, no progress indicator, heh.
[07:16] <axisys> gnuaha7: i figured that much but unlike breeze I cannot just connect to the server using my domain account
[07:16] <mattwestm> gnomefreak: my fault, it was set to only display when charging or discharging
[07:16] <LjL> erikh: i would figure from 15 minutes to half an hour, but just a guess
[07:16] <mattwestm> gnomefreak: it was under power management
[07:16] <rambo> axisys: mount -t smbfs -u username=name,password=pass \\my\great\windows\share mydir/
[07:16] <gnomefreak> mattwestm: ok
[07:16] <edulix> gnomefreak: I've done that, still fails
[07:16] <erikh> LjL: ok, that's at least something a little more reassuring. Thanks so much.
[07:16] <axisys> rambo: cool let me try that
[07:16] <rambo> go for it
[07:16] <rambo> oops
[07:16] <rambo> -o
[07:16] <rambo> not -u
[07:16] <gnomefreak> edulix: restart firefox and than give me the exact command
[07:17] <larry> so I'm connecting to a newly installed ubuntu server and something isn't working right.  When I'm running sudo commands, I'm not getting back prompts for some stuff,  sudo shutdown -r  only works sporadically.  I'm not sure where to start to look for whats going on.
[07:17] <rambo> larry: do "sudo passwd"
[07:17] <rambo> larry: then you can login to yor root account from a login place
[07:18] <erikh> still though, sudo shouldn't muffle the std file descriptors
[07:18] <edulix> gnomefreak: I've found something interesting, see (I'll paste in pastebin)
[07:19] <KuLover> When a hard drive is mounted and I copy files to the mount point on which it is mounted, am I copying filed to the hard drive? or do I need to say.. system:/media/sd1?
[07:19] <larry> heh, sudo passwd doesn't return anything, just drops me back on a shell prompt
[07:19] <joebush> I'd like to change how firefox opens an application when I click on a link. Does anyone know where I should look?
[07:19] <edulix> gnomfreak: http://pastebin.com/711109
[07:20] <rambo> joebush: firefox documentation
[07:20] <joebush> rambo: id you don't know, please don't respond
[07:20] <gnuaha7> axisys: usually the domain name and password of windows is not right... try changing it
[07:20] <gnuaha7> axisys: off course if doesnt work the rambo's idea
[07:20] <joebush> fi
[07:20] <joebush> if
[07:20] <mattwestm> how can I tell if my clock is on UTC?
[07:20] <gnuaha7> KuLover: the mount point and /media/sd1 is the same one doesn't??
[07:20] <rambo> sorry joebush
[07:20] <gnomefreak> edulix: sudo aptitude
[07:20] <gnomefreak> edulix: you need to run aptitude with sudo
[07:21] <edulix> gnomefreak: I'm in root...
[07:21] <edulix> gnomefreak: sudo su -
[07:21] <Nightwish1986> Hello! Anyone who can help me with sound problems (ALSA) ?
[07:21] <kidr> alsamixer doesn't work for me. When I try to run it it says alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[07:22] <gnomefreak> edulix: well get out of it and try sudo aptitude   the error your getting is a permissions error
[07:22] <edulix> oks
[07:22] <gnuaha7> Nightwish1986: what kind of problem???
[07:22] <edulix> gnomefreak: I get the same
[07:22] <larry> rambo: any advice since sudo passwd also muffles the prompt or whatever?
[07:23] <Nightwish1986> gnuaha7: The sound is working but with an awful beep in it. It is on a HDA Intel (AD1986A)
[07:23] <gnomefreak> edulix: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall <packagename>
[07:23] <edulix> gnomefreak: I promise didn't halt my system badly :P
[07:23] <edulix> ok
[07:23] <rambo> larry: what shell are you using?
[07:23] <edulix> the same
[07:24] <gnomefreak> edulix: give me a min
[07:24] <larry> bash I think?  I powercycled the machine a second ago, give me a sec.
[07:24] <rambo> sure
[07:24] <wastrel> bash eh
[07:24] <edulix> gnomefreak: ok. just see this: http://pastebin.com/711117
[07:25] <edulix> something seems messed up in there
[07:25] <ic56> mattwestm: cat /etc/default/rcS
[07:25] <MusicEatingPanda> how do i get the newest Gxine on 5.10?
[07:25] <gnomefreak> edulix: remove the libcairo2 package
[07:25] <gnomefreak> edulix: thats what i was thinking
[07:25] <edulix> gnomfreak: impossible, too many things depends on them
[07:26] <gnuaha7> Nightwish1986: and awfull beep??? i don't understand what are you saying... when you play... your internal beep sound also???
[07:26] <edulix> did you see the libspeex IO error? really strange
[07:26] <gnomefreak> edulix: you need to change the file permissions
[07:27] <gnomefreak> edulix: are you on dapper?
[07:27] <edulix> yes
[07:27] <Nightwish1986> gnuaha7: The internal beep is working fine, It's just whenever a sound is played, you hear a terrible scratchy noise trough the speakers.
[07:27] <jenda> Anyone using an "ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300"? Does it work OK?
[07:27] <edulix> maybe I should do a reiserfsfsck ? because to me the FS seems broken
[07:28] <larry> rambo: yeah, it's bash
[07:28] <Nightwish1986> gnuaha7: I checked the speakers, they are working (in Windows XP for example). I already tried unmuting some channels in alsamixer, but no luck
[07:28] <gnuaha7> Nightwish1986: and you are shure that is the alsa your driver... do you try setting your sound output OSS or others... it's work for me
[07:28] <gnomefreak> edulix: take a look at the file permissions 0of the file (or symlink) and i think you will find issue also make sure the symlink ubuntu made is not broken
[07:28] <B0FH> is the dlink dwl-520 supported in ubuntu?
[07:28] <rambo> larry: try SSH'ing into your machine or making a new user and then trying sudo
[07:28] <B0FH> !hardware
[07:28] <ubotu> well, hardware is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[07:28] <gnomefreak> edulix: its not the fs its the file or link
[07:29] <Nightwish1986> gnuaha7: Same problem if I change the card to AD1896A OSS Mixer
[07:30] <kidr> alsamixer doesn't work for me. When I try to run it it says alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[07:30] <larry> rambo: I think I may know what happened.  I copied an old home directory into my current one, is it possible the old .bash* files could be doing this? (didn't mean to move them over)
[07:30] <edulix> gnomfreak: too many libraries are failing
[07:31] <untwisted> mornin all
[07:31] <someothernick> gm
[07:31] <untwisted> well, I guess afternoon is more like it haha
[07:32] <edulix> gnomfreak: you saw the libspeex problem right? trying to reinstall give the same error: "cannot stat to file. permission denied"
[07:32] <edulix> so i did a mv file file2
[07:32] <edulix> and then retried
[07:32] <edulix> and I got this:
[07:32] <edulix> http://pastebin.com/711129
[07:33] <edulix> but the speex error is already gone :P
[07:33] <kidr> i was following the tutorial at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToSetupSoundCards to manually load snd-cs46xx, but when I tried to run alsamixer I got: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[07:33] <MusicEatingPanda> how do i get the newest Gxine on 5.10?
[07:34] <garryfre> kidr: Do you have a sb live card? I had this issue when somehow my login had lost sound priveleges. Check your privileges if you haven't already
[07:34] <gnomefreak> edulix: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[07:35] <edulix> yeah that's what I was already doing ;) will take some time
[07:35] <kidr> garryfre: device manager says i have CS 4610/11 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator]
[07:35] <edulix> I think it's a prelink problem
[07:35] <avis> hi garryfre :)
[07:35] <garryfre> kidr So how's your priveleges?
[07:36] <garryfre> avis HIya. :)
[07:36] <kidr> brb
[07:36] <larry> rambo:  nope, I can't shell and run adduser, it doesn't print anything, just drops me back to the prompt
[07:37] <garryfre> Try sudo adduser?
[07:37] <Nightwish1986> Anybody know how to fix scratchy beeps when playing sounds with ALSA? (AD1986A)
[07:37] <xenalise> Nightwish!!!
[07:37] <MusicEatingPanda> how do i delete to my rightclick menu
[07:37] <xenalise> great band :D
[07:37] <larry> garryfre: yeah, that's what I did
[07:37] <larry> sudo adduser
[07:37] <xenalise> understatement infact
[07:37] <Nightwish1986> thanx, nice to hear some fans! =D
[07:37] <xenalise> whats your fav song? :P
[07:38] <xenalise> mines gotta be Sleeping Sun or Sleepwalker hehe
[07:38] <wastrel> sudo adduser eh
[07:38] <Nightwish1986> at the moment?? dead boy's poem, all time?? sleeping sun
[07:38] <garryfre> I don't know but I've had that scratchiness myself. I got rid of it by messign with alsamixer I don't know what I did to get it to stop but it did. Just love them bugs that take so long to fix that by the time its fixed ye don't know how ye did it.
[07:38] <xenalise> dead boy's poem makes me cry :(
[07:38] <Nightwish1986> I'm so glad I've seen them playing live...
[07:38] <xenalise> really amazing piece
[07:38] <xenalise> I saw them live too
[07:38] <xenalise> Feb 04, Brixton
[07:38] <xenalise> :P
[07:38] <Nightwish1986> It is a nice song if you have nice memories to it...

[07:39] <xenalise> I listen to those 3 before bed every evening
[07:39] <larry> wastrel: sudo adduser <name/> just drops me back to a prompt as well.
[07:39] <xenalise> always have a tear in my eye heh
[07:39] <garryfre> kidr yeah, most of the boxes should be checked except things for stuff you might not have like tape drives.
[07:39] <wastrel> larry:  what groups are you in
[07:40] <Nightwish1986> hehe, I know that myself too...
[07:40] <garryfre> There is a command to reconfigure sound. lemme see if the bot knows about sound ...
[07:40] <garryfre> !sound

[07:40] <larry> wastrel: gah!!!!   I forgot, I changed my groups!! and I'm not used to ubuntu and didn't keep all those old groups.
[07:41] <wastrel> you need to be in admin to use sudo
[07:41] <wastrel> adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin
[07:41] <wastrel> ^^ that's my list
[07:41] <wastrel> from my defaultish dapper install
[07:41] <xenalise> :D
[07:41] <xenalise> anyone have any idea about keyboard probs btw?
[07:41] <larry> wastrel wins.  thank you very much
[07:41] <xenalise> for some reason my lappy wont output GBP key
[07:41] <jeld> anyone here used ocfs2?
[07:41] <garryfre> wireless keyboards?
[07:42] <xenalise> everytime I press shift + 3 it puts "3"
[07:42] <xenalise> not the pound sign

[07:44] <dor> hello guys. when i log into ubuntu, it mounts my NTFS partitions, which is cool. the problem is that it puts icons on my desktop for all the mounted devices, and i don't want it to be like that. can someone help me?
[07:44] <wastrel> larry:  boot to recovery mode and add yourself back to admin
[07:45] <wastrel> or boot from a rescue cd
[07:45] <ic56> dor: are those icons symbolic links?
[07:45] <garryfre> I'm thinking the noauto is what you want in the fstab lines for those devices so it don't auto boot them
[07:45] <salva> hola
[07:45] <larry> bah:  the box is headless, now I have to move it.  Thank you very much for your help.
[07:45] <dor> ic56, yes
[07:45] <ic56> dor: then just remove them.
[07:46] <LjL> !desktop-icons
[07:46] <ubotu> To have icons for drives and the trashcan on your Gnome desktop, run the GConf Editor (run 'gconf-editor' in Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and edit the keys in /apps/nautilus/desktop and/or /apps/nautilus/general)
[07:46] <garryfre> Commenting them out with # works too. That way you can put them back if you should wnat to mount them.
[07:46] <dor> ic56, it says that i can't move this volume to trash
[07:47] <ic56> dor: one minute, let me check something.
[07:47] <wilerson> Hi all, I'm having some issues with my sound driver. My sound was working fine before, but when I installed some libraries for restricted formats, the sound got scrambled
[07:47] <LjL> i wouldn't remove the symlinks. i bet they get recreated at every mount
[07:47] <garryfre> The lines in /etc/fstab where it specifies your mount stuff.
[07:47] <edulix> gnomfreak: btw see this: http://pastebin.com/711148
[07:48] <dor> LjL, thanks! a key in /apps/nautilus/desktop fixed it!
[07:48] <dor> ic56, ^
[07:48] <dor> thank you guys
[07:48] <dor> good bye
[07:49] <garryfre> welcome
[07:49] <and1> Hey
[07:49] <edulix> I think I will solve it by moving thos file elsewhere (anyway they're noty working right?) and reinstalling all the packages related as I did with libspeex
[07:49] <and1> i need to install nvidia drivers
[07:49] <dust_> hi folks. does anyone know if there are two apps that control monitor settings? my screen will go black after a period of time even though it is not set to in the powersave options.
[07:49] <garryfre> !nvidia
[07:49] <ubotu> well, nvidia is a graphics card manufacturer. For help about installing the nVidia drivers on Ubuntu, you can visit the Ubuntu Wiki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/NVidia
[07:49] <and1> but it cant find LD
[07:49] <and1> thnx
[07:49] <LjL> LD?
[07:50] <edulix> is there a command to see which installed package does a concrete file belong to?
[07:50] <edulix> that would be very useful to me right now
[07:50] <ic56> dor: ah. so they weren't symlinks then?
[07:50] <and1> This page does not exist yet. You can create a new empty page, or use one of the page templates. Before creating the page, please check if a similar page already exists
[07:50] <LjL> edulix: auto-apt will do that for both installed and not installed packages
[07:50] <kidr> ty for the help, i got my sound working with sudo modprobe snd-cs4236  :)
[07:50] <garryfre> kidr:  excellent.
[07:50] <LjL> edulix: otherwise, dpkg -S filename
[07:50] <edulix> LJL: what's that? remember, I'm getting "cannot stat file X, permission denied"
[07:51] <LjL> !auto-apt
[07:51] <edulix> so it needs to remove those files
[07:51] <ubotu> I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, LjL
[07:51] <wastrel> edulix:  apt-file
[07:52] <LjL> auto-apt allows you to type "auto-apt search filename" to know what package a file (even a file you don't have) belongs to. also allows to "auto-apt run programname", which pauses the program everytime a file isn't found, and asks you whether you want to install the relevant package
[07:52] <LjL> edulix: at any rate, dpkg -S is probably good enough for what you need to do
[07:52] <LjL> wastrel: auto-apt is usually faster than apt-file
[07:52] <edulix> ok
[07:52] <carlosj> carlosj
[07:52] <carlosj> ola
[07:52] <wastrel> okey dokey
[07:53] <garryfre> ld sounds like it might be a linker. One no longer compile video drivers generally in dapper, instead, the package manager provides pre-compiled drivers for the kernels they put out. So unless you are using a custom kernel, you would not need to recompile a video driver.
[07:54] <erikh> is there a way to change the resolution list in ubuntu's GNOME?
[07:54] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell erikh -about fixres
[07:54] <erikh> thank you sir

[08:01] <webwolf_27> oshani, damn what does totem use again, try xmms with xmms-mad installed
[08:01] <garryfre> jang_:  I suspect a syntax errror there.
[08:01] <judah> totem uses gstreamer just like rhythmbox.
[08:01] <judah> oh right.. i was in hiding.
[08:01] <garryfre> but I like that font.
[08:01] <jrib> ubotu: tell oshani about mp3
[08:02] <RancidLM> hey all.. does any one know of a application to record what im doing on the desktop.. iv seen vnc to swf but im looking to record my xsession to a mpg .. any suggestions?
[08:03] <garryfre> If all else fails there is a package for taking and saving screenshots
[08:03] <dust_> are there are two apps that control monitor settings? my screen will go black after a while even though it is not set to in the powersave options but if i adjust the power save options i can effect how long it takes.
[08:03] <axisys> rambo: i get this
[08:03] <axisys> rambo: i get this mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbs'
[08:03] <garryfre> Hmm some bios have power saving stuff.
[08:03] <dust_> or is there an acpi setting that would do that?
[08:03] <axisys> !samba
[08:03] <ubotu> well, samba is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SettingUpSamba or http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba2/book/toc.html
[08:03] <rambo> axisys: should be smbfs not smbs
[08:04] <oshani> dust_, Hi, just tried playing an mp3 with rhythm box... but I got an error saying "The file is not an audio stream"
[08:04] <webwolf_27> oshani, and with xmms
[08:04] <NoUse> axisys probably would help to spell it correctly :-) smbfs
[08:04] <axisys> NoUse: u r right on money :-)
[08:04] <Snowfairy> Is there a way to screenshot a virtual desktop in Gnome?  (EX: I'm looking at Workspace 1, I want to take a screenshot of workspace 4 though.)
[08:05] <Sphygmos> hey.. is there a way to probe the AGP port? i have this AGP video card that doesn't seem to show up on lspci
[08:05] <Sphygmos> and i need to figure out what device it is so i can put it in xorg.conf
[08:06] <garryfre> Sphygmos: try seeing what dmesg gives you.
[08:07] <dust_> oshani, i'm sorry i can't offer much advice. i would go back and make sure that you did everything right in the wiki (i often mispell things or miss small steps) and make sure that your mp3 files aren't corrupt. but other than that you'll have to find someone more experienced. sorry.
[08:07] <usuario> UIOHUI
[08:07] <asabil> Snowfairy, sleep 5 && import screeny.png
[08:07] <Sphygmos> just says AGP aperture is 256M
[08:07] <asabil> Snowfairy, sleep 5 && import --root screeny.png
[08:07] <axisys> rambo: i get this now http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/aUNa2623.html
[08:07] <Snowfairy> asabil,  Won;t that just delay the screenshot?
[08:07] <BearKnuckle> I tried to install jahshaka and found this thread: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=188145. Like mentioned in the thread, the repo seems to be malformed, because if you want to install something, apt tries to download for example: Failed to fetch http://repo.jahshaka.org/ubuntu/dapper/binary-i386/binary-i386//jahshaka_2.0rc3_i386.deb  404 Not Found. For sure it failes, because the "binary-i386" is doubled and the
[08:07] <Snowfairy> Ideally, I'd like to make this a cron job that doesn't interrupt what I'm doing (IE: I don't have to switch to that desktop)
[08:07] <asabil> Snowfairy, it will give you time to switch to workspace :)
[08:07] <wonbond> i need help ,help help
[08:08] <BearKnuckle> The line I added in sources.list is: deb http://repo.jahshaka.org/ubuntu/dapper/binary-i386 ./
[08:08] <dust_> garryfre, strangely i don't have a BIOS. sorry i can't change anything there. all my settings a ACPI.
[08:08] <webwolf_27> wonbond, with what, what what
[08:08] <rambo> axisys: hmm...
[08:08] <Snowfairy> asabil, -nods- import also has a delay function,  not really what I'm looking for... I'd hoped that each desktop had a window id... but unfortunately, they don't.
[08:08] <gostview> nickrud> here I am
[08:08] <rambo> axisys: make sure you have done a sudo apt-get install samba
[08:08] <nickrud> hey, gostview I had to reboot to get the proper desktop action ;(
[08:09] <asabil> Snowfairy, sorry i don't know how to achieve this
[08:09] <Snowfairy> I think Ubuntu manages virtual desktops in an odd fashion.... each desktop is indeed the one original root desktop... but it keeps properties on whether to display a window or not depending on something.
[08:09] <wonbond> webwolf_27: i installed fglrx as root and i cant login to x as a user but i can start x as root
[08:09] <RQ> what's a name for the developer channel?
[08:09] <Snowfairy> asabil, thanks anyways, I'll keep looking :)
[08:09] <adolson> how can I add a menu entry for the Run Application dialog box? I know how to add it to the panel, and I know I can use Alt+F2, but I want it in the Applications menu.
[08:09] <Snowfairy> perhaps if I Were to use a different window manager other than metacity I could accomplish what I Want :)
[08:09] <wastrel> bye now
[08:09] <larry> what is the proper way to boot into rescue mode?
[08:09] <webwolf_27> wonbond, who owns gdm
[08:10] <gostview> nickrud> why did you reboot?
[08:10] <garryfre> dust hmm, only computer I saw that din't have a bios was an etch a sketch. hehe, Just kidding. It could be so, or it could be some proprietary way to get into the bios. You know how engineers are, they love to change/mess up/hide things.
[08:10] <nickrud> gostview, as a test.
[08:10] <gostview> nickrud> ohh ok
[08:10] <axisys> rambo: installing it now
[08:10] <wonbond> webwolf_27:i what do u mean?
[08:10] <gostview> nickrud> did you remember my last question? :)
[08:10] <rambo> axisys: probably a good idea :)
[08:11] <axisys> rambo: it also started the samba daemon.. i do not think i need that to connect to windows server.. correct?
[08:11] <Cin> Snowfairy, some window managers have weird settings with the taskbar... confusing.
[08:11] <dust_> garryfre, i am pretty certain, but how would i double check?
[08:11] <webwolf_27> wonbond, does your system bootup into a gui or console?
[08:11] <nickrud> gostview, last one I saw was about getting volumes off of the desktop
[08:11] <rambo> axisys: probably not
[08:11] <gostview> nickrud> so, did you obtain any result?
[08:11] <Snowfairy> Cin, how so?
[08:11] <nickrud> gostview, a step in the right direction
[08:11] <axisys> rambo: still same error
[08:11] <RQ>  hi. Could anyone have any idea why alsa-sources from debian/testing won't compile on ubuntu/dapper? it seems to fail with "include/linux/pci.h:424: error: syntax error before numeric constant"
[08:12] <nostalg1c> somewhat offtopic, but does anyone here read chinese?
[08:12] <garryfre> Google for your computer brand, or something should appear on screen tot ell yo the type of chipset you got. in terminal lspci might tell you something. Also try dmesg
[08:12] <gostview> nickrud> I try to change many lines in fstab without any success
[08:12] <axisys> rambo: let me check wiki and i may bug u again
[08:12] <larry> I hit F6 at the DVD boot prompt menu and added "rescue" as an option and now it's going through some pretty long memory test
[08:12] <wonbond> webwolf_27: it boots to the x login screen, i eneter passwords and it tries to log in and kicks me out, second time i lose video , i can start x as root from command and it runs well
[08:12] <Snowfairy> and doesn't appear it matters.... I just tested kwin, it still doesn't seem to affect how virtual desktops are rendered... perhaps I misunderstood how they work and what I Want simply isn't possible :( is a shame :/
[08:13] <gostview> nickrud> what step? tell me.
[08:13] <nickrud> gostview, after you do the rearranging, if you reboot it won't show on the desktop. I'm looking at the scripts in rcS.d at the moment to see what's going on there
[08:13] <Snowfairy> kwin still sees each 'desktop' as the same.... so that means virtual desktops are handled only by a property of 'display if workspace =' kind of thing...
[08:13] <Cin> Snowfairy, well, like, how each desktop can display a different taskbar, which seems logical to me. Some display one taskbar for all windows and desktops.
[08:13] <rambo> axisys: good idea... also, try doing the same command but with all of the \ slashes turned into / slashes
[08:13] <webwolf_27> wonbond, is it and xlogin screen or gnome login screen
[08:13] <axisys> rambo: guess what i did not have smbfs installed.. duh !
[08:13] <garryfre> dust_ simetimes it booting up while holding down f2, sometimes its ctrl-alt-s or F8 or Alt or even a special disk that allows bios access.
[08:14] <adolson> how can I add a menu entry for the Run Application dialog box? I know how to add it to the panel, and I know I can use Alt+F2, but I want it in the Applications menu.
[08:14] <Snowfairy> so, using that logic, it's impossible to view or reference a workspace that you're not really looking at :/
[08:14] <rambo> axisys: oh haha i assumed apt-get install samba would cover that
[08:14] <Snowfairy> CIn, oh right..  like blackbox and such.
[08:14] <Cin> Snowfairy, aye.
[08:14] <Cin> XFCE does it, but I forgive it.
[08:14] <wonbond> webwolf_27: i have kde , so its kde login screen ,
[08:14] <Snowfairy> Cin those support the theory I have of how virtual desktops work (since they keep displaying loaded applications just display them or not by what desktop your on.)
[08:15] <Snowfairy> It's frustrating... I'd really like to be able to cron shots of just my desktop (kind of a geek vanity thing :P)
[08:15] <Snowfairy> and I don't want to capture applications I have open as well :P
[08:15] <Cin> Snowfairy, depends how you want to visualise your desktops I guess.
[08:15] <webwolf_27> wonbond, ok so who owns kdm
[08:15] <spikeb> Snowfairy: you can use import for that
[08:15] <gostview> nickrud> rearrange... how did you rearrange, maybe I lost a pieces of your test
[08:15] <Snowfairy> spikeb, it won't do just the desktop
[08:15] <Snowfairy> it'll grab all open windows.
[08:15] <spikeb> every SS thing will.
[08:16] <Snowfairy> spikeb, if you read up, my question was whether I could screenshot a virtual desktop I wasn't looking at.
[08:16] <wonbond> webwolf_27: i dont know how to check
[08:16] <spikeb> oh
[08:16] <Snowfairy> I think the best way to get what I want is just start another x server, log in, and run the cron job on there and never run any apps on that xserver :P
[08:16] <spikeb> yeah
[08:17] <and1> Hey when trying to install the nvidia driver i get this error Error: your X configuration has been altered.
[08:17] <and1> This script cannot proceed automatically. If you believe that this
[08:17] <and1> not correct, you can update the md5sum entry executing the following
[08:17] <and1> command:
[08:17] <and1> md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum
[08:17] <and1> otherwise edit manually /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the Driver section
[08:17] <and1> from nv to nvidia.
[08:17] <Alecsutzu_89> join #bucuresti
[08:17] <edulix> uh
[08:17] <edulix> I have a problem
[08:17] <axisys> rambo: i am in.. i had to do this -o username=xxxx,workgroup=activedirname and it prompts for password
[08:17] <edulix> what can I do with a file whose state is
[08:17] <nickrud> gostview, simply moved my hda1 from /media/hda1 to /windows. I did the change to /etc/fstab right after intial install. I probably changed my kernel at the same time, and didn't see this issue because I rebooted
[08:17] <edulix> ?---------   ? ?      ?          ?            ? /usr/lib/evolution
[08:17] <webwolf_27> wonbond, ls -l /SBIN/KDM
[08:17] <and1> and /etc/x11/xorg.conf doesnt exist
[08:17] <edulix> because anything I try I get permission denied
[08:17] <axisys> rambo: would be nice if i could do it as a user and not root
[08:17] <webwolf_27> without the caps
[08:18] <gostview> nickrud> I do the same, but nothing changed
[08:18] <NoUse> and1 linux is case senstive
[08:18] <NoUse> and1 /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:18] <adolson> how can I add a menu entry for the Run Application dialog box? I know how to add it to the panel, and I know I can use Alt+F2, but I want it in the Applications menu.
[08:18] <and1> hehe ok:P
[08:18] <and1> forgot
[08:18] <garryfre> try sudo it is your friend and gateway to freedom to control and configure your system. If you tried sudo ignore this message.
[08:19] <nickrud> gostview, you need the reboot. hotplug is gone, plugdev handles this now. I generally understood hotplug, but obviously not plugdev
[08:19] <eXistenZ> Something happened to my ftp server, it doesn't log in fast. it takes some time when logging, this thing happened newly
[08:19] <rambo> axisys: there's a way to let non-root users mount drives... lemme look it up
[08:20] <eXistenZ> Where can I check my ftp logs?
[08:20] <jrattner1> rambo, add them to the group it belongs too
[08:20] <jrib> rambo: the 'user' option I believe
[08:20] <rambo> jrattner1: that's what i thought... just can't recall the group name
[08:20] <rambo> right
[08:20] <jrattner1> rambo, is it mount?
[08:21] <gostview> nickrud> sound too difficolt for my kwnoledge, really can't help you, ... did you try make install-hotplug?
[08:21] <rambo> jrattner1: might be... looking it up now
[08:21] <dust_> garryfre, i looking on the toshiba website then i'm going to restart. i'll let in a while. thanks.
[08:21] <Snowfairy> Here's an extenuation of the last question... how do I know what XServer I'm on?  it doesn't appear that they're number 0 1 2 :P
[08:22] <edulix> please someone? :/
[08:22] <edulix> maybe remounting the partition or similar?
[08:23] <Sphygmos> hey.. is there an application for ubuntu that would display a Mac OS X like launch bar?
[08:23] <Cin> eXistenZ, /var/log?
[08:24] <NoUse> edulix sudo apt-get --reinstall install evolution
[08:24] <eXistenZ> Cin, There is something weird that happened. After I ssh, and type my username, it takes time for the password request to appear.
[08:24] <Cin> Sphygmos, I think there's one for superkaramba.
[08:24] <eXistenZ> Cin, very weird indeed!
[08:24] <edulix> NoUse: that doesn't work
[08:24] <Cntryboy> Does anyone know how to set linux up where I can have caller id while connected so I can screen calls with dialup??
[08:25] <Cin> eXistenZ, aye that is weird.
[08:25] <Scorpmoon> i start ubuntu and get X failed to start.. No devices detected
[08:25] <NoUse> edulix be more specific
[08:25] <gostview> nickrud> I can't more follow you: you modify fstab change /media in /mnt and after that you reboot the system, as a result of this you lost hotplug, is that right?
[08:25] <eXistenZ> Cin, How can I see whether there is some error or something?
[08:25] <ScatterBrain> Anyone using Amavisd-new on Dapper?
[08:25] <jps_> seits ihr alle englnder ?
[08:25] <nickrud> gostview, the problem is that hotplug doesn't work the same way anymore,
[08:25] <keithhhhh> Anyone using  	Avidemux??  What is the newest version that can be run in Breezy??
[08:25] <wonbond> webwolf_27: sorry , im slow,  i have 6 kdm folders , which one should i check
[08:25] <pally> where does these 'ae_ALHor, ae_Hor,..' fonts come from?
[08:25] <jrattner1> QUESTION: Anyone configue LDAP on Dapper yet?
[08:25] <edulix> NoUSe: I cannot do nothing with the file, neither can any program I can execute. dpkg gives me permission denied when executing stat
[08:25] <rambo> axisys: ok you're going to need to open up your /etc/group file(make a backup first) and add your username to the line disk. should look something like disk:x:6:root,yourusername
[08:25] <rambo> then do a reboot
[08:25] <Cntryboy> Anyone?
[08:26] <NoUse> edulix can you remove it?
[08:26] <gostview> nickrud> did you try with re-install hotplug? (launch make install-hotplug)
[08:26] <edulix> NoUse: of course no :)
[08:26] <Cntryboy> anyone here use dialup?
[08:26] <jps_> channel #kacken
[08:26] <edulix> I think I'll try reiserfsck
[08:27] <Cntryboy> No dialup users?
[08:27] <NoUse> edulix you can alter other files on that parition?
[08:27] <Cntryboy> I need to figure this out grr
[08:27] <edulix> yes
[08:27] <Cin> eXistenZ, is there an ftp log in /var/log/?
[08:27] <tvlooy> hello
[08:27] <eXistenZ> Cin, nope
[08:27] <Cntryboy> Does anyone know how to set linux up where I can have caller id while connected so I can screen calls with dialup??
[08:27] <pally> where does these 'ae_ALHor, ae_Hor,..' fonts come from?
[08:27] <eXistenZ> Cin, I checked tha auth.log, nothing wrong
[08:27] <tvlooy> I have just destroyed my partition table
[08:28] <NoUse> edulix have you tried using 'sudo rm -f /usr/bin/evolution'
[08:28] <tvlooy> the partitions still exist and I have a backup of /etc and /boot
[08:28] <gostview> nickrud> well, it's really a nonsense, there is no leading beetween hotplug and fstab? it's a lot strange, didn't it?
[08:28] <Cin> eXistenZ, I'm quite new to Linux services, mate. I have seen that before though, it takes like... 5 seconds for it to login? Always wondered what that is.
[08:28] <higen> is there any game like masters of orion for linux?
[08:28] <tvlooy> someone knows any tools that can fix the partion table?
[08:28] <edulix> NoUse: that's what I was doing
[08:28] <tvlooy> I booted the ubuntu live cd now
[08:28] <gnomefreak> tvlooy: gparted
[08:29] <Cntryboy> Does anyone know how to set linux up where I can have caller id while connected so I can screen calls with dialup??
[08:29] <eXistenZ> Cin, Although I'm logging on a lan. It worked well, until once I had a router crash
[08:29] <gostview> nickrud> however ... do you reach to hide the icon on desktop?
[08:29] <loanwolf> ? anyone what package to i need fore mpeg playback in xine
[08:29] <MusicEatingPanda> HELLO how would i install dappers Xine in breezy?
[08:29] <xcoyote> hello question: where does tomcat/webapps is located after installing it with apt-get ?
[08:29] <Cin> eXistenZ, maybe it needs a restart? (The service)
 need help with my dual monitor setup
 now i have 2 seperate desktops (one on each moitor)
 but i want ONE big desktop
 so that i can move windows from one to another
 someone knwos how to configue this?
[08:29] <gnomefreak> icefeldt: dont paste
[08:30] <gostview> nickrud> * have you got success in that?
[08:30] <eXistenZ> Cin, what command restarts the system? shutdown -a ?
[08:30] <wonbond> cd
[08:30] <xcoyote> question: where does tomcat/webapps is located after installing it with apt-get ?
[08:30] <Cin> eXistenZ, well, 'reboot'. But you should just be able to type a command to restart the ftp service.
[08:30] <MusicEatingPanda> HELLO how would i install dappers Xine in breezy?
[08:30] <Cntryboy> why won't anyone help me?
[08:30] <NoUse> edulix sounds like you need to run fsck on that parition
[08:30] <finger> Can anyone think of a reason why this wouldn't work  in a crontab ... ?
[08:30] <nickrud> gostview, what I did, was alter the /etc/fstab and rebooted. As I said, I'm reading over the rcS.d scripts to see if I can discover why the reboot was needed.
[08:30] <finger> 29 13,22 * * * cd /usr/local/bin/job/ && ./posting_script
[08:30] <NoUse> edulix boot off a live cd
[08:30] <Cntryboy> is what i'm asking to hard for most of you?
[08:30] <edulix> NoUse: suppose I have no CD (nor live nor the installator)
[08:30] <Cin> /etc/init.d/ftp restart ?
[08:31] <Cin> eXistenZ, /etc/init.d/ftp restart -- does that work?
[08:31] <xcoyote> question: where does tomcat/webapps is located after installing it with apt-get ?
[08:31] <nickrud> gostview, or, was successful, since it shouldn't be needed
[08:31] <NoUse> edulix try the recovery mode
[08:31] <eXistenZ> Cin, I restarted the system. That's okay.
[08:31] <edulix> oks
[08:31] <gnomefreak> MusicEatingPanda: bad idea
[08:31] <Cin> eXistenZ, I don't have an FTP server installed, so I can't test it.
[08:31] <edulix> thanks I'll try!
[08:31] <Cin> eXistenZ, hehe.
[08:31] <MusicEatingPanda> gnomefreak its just Xine TT_TT
[08:31] <eXistenZ> Cin, even the ssh
[08:31] <xcoyote> question: where does tomcat/webapps is located after installing it with apt-get ?
[08:31] <larry> NoUse: how do you get into recovery mode from the DVD, there's not menu option for it
[08:32] <NoUse> larry recovery mode is for an installed system
[08:32] <loanwolf> ? where can i find mpeg codecs fore xine
[08:32] <Cntryboy> Does anyone know how to set linux up where I can have caller id while connected so I can screen calls with dialup??
[08:32] <gnomefreak> MusicEatingPanda: its a bad idea mixing packages/repos can give you major issues
[08:32] <MusicEatingPanda> gnomefreak but i just want the Xine from dapper nothing else TT_TT
[08:32] <Cin> loanwolf, try this out? http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Breezy#How_to_install_Multimedia_Codecs
[08:32] <gnomefreak> MusicEatingPanda: packages.ubuntu.com but its still a bad idea
[08:32] <wonbond> larry: press escape when grub starts to load , youll get an option to boot in recovery mode
[08:32] <NoUse> !ubuntuguide
[08:32] <ubotu> ubuntuguide is, like, totally, a bad outdated resource. Please use help.ubuntu.com
[08:32] <gostview> nickrud> well, ... let me know if you find something strange in rcS.d
[08:33] <MusicEatingPanda> gnomefreak but it is still just Xine no?
[08:33] <gnomefreak> MusicEatingPanda: no nothing is just one package
[08:33] <Cin> NoUse, hehe. "This page was last modified 12:55, 13 June 2006." Seems up to date to me.
[08:33] <gnomefreak> MusicEatingPanda: everything depends on other things
[08:33] <Snowfairy_> Ok... so in my quest of getting the proper screenshot via cron-job, I've started another xserver (:20)  I try import -display :20 -window root and get... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15772
[08:33] <Snowfairy_> So, how do I enable communicating to my xservers like that?  or how do I set 'protocol' that it needs?
[08:33] <NoUse> Cin use help.ubuntu.com
[08:33] <MusicEatingPanda> gnomefreak then how do i update Xine cuz 1.4.4 is unstable on 5.10
[08:34] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell MusicEatingPanda -about upgrade
[08:34] <Cin> NoUse, nice, thanks.
[08:35] <Cntryboy> Does anyone know how to set linux up where I can have caller id while connected so I can screen calls with dialup??
[08:35] <MusicEatingPanda> gnomefreak does that mean updateing to dapper? cuz dapper doesnt like me and im not going to it nor explaining why i wont
[08:35] <pdc> Cntryboy: I think nobody does... try google
[08:35] <Cntryboy> I have been
[08:35] <gnomefreak> MusicEatingPanda: yes
[08:35] <Cntryboy> I can't find anything
[08:35] <loanwolf> Cin, thats fore Breezy...im in dapper drake
[08:35] <Snowfairy_> Ok... so in my quest of getting the proper screenshot via cron-job, I've started another xserver (:20)  I try import -display :20 -window root and get... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15772
[08:35] <gnomefreak> MusicEatingPanda: do as you wish but im warning you its unsafe and unstable to mix packages
[08:36] <Cntryboy> can linux have two programs using both pppd processes?
[08:36] <Cntryboy> like windows..
[08:36] <Snowfairy_> How do I fix that so that I can connect to a different local x server?
[08:36] <icefeldt> my sound is totally oversteered. someone knows how to fix this? (even when its not lound it doesnt sound clear)
[08:36] <Cin> loanwolf, same applies. I'm in Dapper.
[08:36] <bcc_> can i install the latest server release using debootstrap?
[08:36] <loanwolf> k
[08:36] <Cin> loanwolf, http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/codecs.html -- Seems to be irrespective of Ubuntu version.
[08:37] <Blissex> icefeldt: http://WWW.sabi.co.UK/Notes/linuxSoundALSA.html the troubleshooting and sound quality sections...
[08:37] <BearKnuckle> I added this line to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://repo.jahshaka.org/ubuntu/dapper/binary-i386 ./ and if I want to install something this happens: Failed to fetch http://repo.jahshaka.org/ubuntu/dapper/binary-i386/binary-i386//jahshaka_2.0rc3_i386.deb  404 Not Found
[08:37] <BearKnuckle> Is there a way to correct this error?
[08:37] <Snowfairy_> Ok... so in my quest of getting the proper screenshot via cron-job, I've started another xserver (:20)  I try import -display :20 -window root and get... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15772   : How do I make this work correctly?
[08:37] <Blissex> BearKnuckle: probably.
[08:37] <Cin> BearKnuckle, did you do 'sudo apt-get update' first?
[08:38] <BearKnuckle> Cin: Yes.
[08:38] <Cin> Hehe, looks to me like it's a dud.
[08:38] <BearKnuckle> Is there something wrong in packages.gz? Because this I couldn't change...
[08:38] <JDM> anybody from Romania, pls prv
[08:38] <Blissex> BearKnuckle: look again carefully the URLs...
[08:38] <NoUse> BearKnuckle remove binary-i386 from the line
[08:39] <BearKnuckle> NoUse: But then packages.gz is not found, I already tried that...
[08:39] <BearKnuckle> Failed to fetch http://repo.jahshaka.org/ubuntu/dapper/./Packages.gz  404 Not Found
[08:40] <rshd301> Anyone using Dapper on an Apple Powerbook G4 ?
[08:40] <BearKnuckle> So where is the second "binary-i386" and the second slash coming from?
[08:40] <Blissex> BearKnuckle: perhaps reread more carefully the specs for a 'sources.list' URL/
[08:40] <NoUse> BearKnuckle the repo is malformed
[08:41] <titan_> so dapper is officially out?
[08:41] <Blissex> BearKnuckle: you need to understand what the first bit and the second bit point to.
[08:41] <Cntryboy> Any dialup users here that actually has caller id available while online? Minicom shows the caller id, but I need to figure out what and how to use a ppp program to see caller id while connected.
[08:41] <NoUse> titan_ for almost a month
[08:41] <gnomefreak> titan_: yes for a few weeks already
[08:41] <titan_> NoUse, wow,, I am behind
[08:41] <BearKnuckle> Ok, I will take a look at man sources.list
[08:41] <JDM> is anybody here using TV tuner on Ubuntu? I have a Winfast TV USB II Deluxe, and i would like to know how can I use it on ubuntu
[08:41] <Blissex> BearKnuckle: consider for example what would be different if the second bit were not './'
[08:41] <gnomefreak> 14 days
[08:42] <Blissex> BearKnuckle: the logic on how 'sources.list' URLs work is not totally obvious to see.
[08:42] <titan_> Guess I am a bit behind... anyone running it now?
[08:42] <Snowfairy_> I've started another xserver (:20)  I try import -display :20 -window root and get... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15772   : How do I make this work correctly so I can have programs connect to a different local x server than the one I'm staring at?
[08:42] <gnomefreak> titan_: most people
[08:43] <titan_> gomefreak lol, guess I am behind the curve. How easy is it to upgrade to Dapper?
[08:43] <apokryphos> titan_: very easy; check the FAQ for instructions.
[08:43] <SiliconViper_> Trivial.
[08:44] <titan_> apokryphos, ok thanks alot
[08:44] <gnomefreak> titan_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist upgrade and than once thats done gksudo "update-manager"
[08:44] <darkyoshi> Hi all, how can I make this shell script not wait for Firefox to quit before it tries to kill Firefox?: firefox gamefaqs.com && sleep 2 && pkill firefox
[08:44] <Mitja> I've used "update-rc.d <name> defaults" to set a startup script from /etc/init.d. The script was copied to many rc levels. Does it get executed as many times as the levels at booting or just once?
[08:44] <apokryphos> darkyoshi: don't use &&, use & the first time round
[08:46] <apokryphos> darkyoshi: && means "after X is done, if it finishes without an error, do..."
[08:46] <taz> heelo
[08:46] <bcc_> is there a downside in using dapper now and not breezy?
[08:46] <darkyoshi> apokryphos: Thanks!
[08:46] <apokryphos> hello
[08:46] <eXistenZ> what is the evms engine used for?
[08:46] <Snowfairy_> So... I've figured -that- out.   But, the screen capture commands don't actually capture proper data... just a jumbled mess :(
[08:46] <apokryphos> bcc_: not really.
[08:46] <bcc_> apokryphos: i see. can i use debootstrap to build a server?
[08:46] <bcc_> apokryphos: or am i stuck with the regular releases?
[08:46] <leafw> hi all. The gnome Disks Manager is listing partitions incorrectly, although through the install they were shown fine. What's up? Is there a recommended partition manager (I don't mind command line) ?
[08:47] <apokryphos> bcc_: I'm pretty sure you could, it'd be a lot easier to use the releases though.
[08:47] <gnomefreak> bcc_: dapper is a regular release
[08:47] <apokryphos> leafw: gparted is.
[08:47] <bcc_> if i use a server release, what do i specify in the apt sources?
[08:47] <larry> does rescue mode include a program called memtest?
[08:47] <leafw> apokryphos : thanks
[08:47] <apokryphos> bcc_: nothing different.
[08:47] <jubuntul> hello ,
[08:47] <bcc_> apokryphos: hmm, how does it keep them different then?
[08:47] <rshd301> Anyone using Dapper on an Apple Powerbook G4 ?
[08:47] <apokryphos> hi
[08:48] <leafw> rshd301 : me
[08:48] <jubuntul> do you know the irc.epiknet.org ??
[08:48] <apokryphos> bcc_: just installs different packages, they're all in the same archives though.
[08:48] <apokryphos> jubuntul: huh?
[08:48] <wilerson> hey people, I can't figure out why, but if I try to use sound with xmms, it works fine, but in any other application the sound gets distorted and, if I try to use xmms after another application, the sound gets distorted on xmms too
[08:48] <finger> arrrggh ... I want to kill cron ...
[08:48] <rshd301> leafw - any probs with the touchpad being too slow
[08:48] <bcc_> apokryphos: i see. so it's the same thing, but for the server release it only installs the server packages?
[08:48] <apokryphos> bcc_: exactly.
[08:48] <jubuntul> apokryphos, yeap, you see, it's a irc server, and i can't connect it
[08:48] <leafw> rshd301 : powerbook Ti 3.5 1GHz here, touchpad very nice thank you
[08:48] <apokryphos> bcc_: it uses the ubuntu-server metapackage.
[08:48] <jubuntul> do might krnow why
[08:49] <apokryphos> jubuntul: no, I don't know about it and dont' have an idea.
[08:49] <bcc_> apokryphos: ok, that makes sense. i don't really want to use debootstrap, but i don't see any other way to install on a separate drive of an existing rh installation
[08:49] <rshd301> Any ideas how to configure it's sensitivity ?
[08:49] <jubuntul> ok thank you apokryphos
[08:49] <jubuntul> bye bye
[08:49] <bcc_> apokryphos: actually, i need a completely basic sistem. no apache or anything else.
[08:49] <bcc_> apokryphos: only ssh and the base
[08:50] <leafw> rshd301 : for kubuntu, in the System Settings, go to Mouse. Don't know about ubuntu
[08:50] <apokryphos> bcc_: you can just chroot.
[08:50] <rshd301> Thanks anyway
[08:50] <apokryphos> bcc_: then install exactly what you want.
[08:50] <jubuntul> oh finaly i'll staying a little short
[08:50] <gnomefreak> rshd301: system>prefferences>mouse
[08:50] <apokryphos> argh, which would basically be debootstrap, sorry. Yes, it shouldn't be too hard.
[08:50] <bcc_> apokryphos: nah, i got a box with three drives, and i want to install ubuntu on the third drive, and then reboot into it and then re-install onto the first two drives under sofrware raid
[08:51] <brew-no> Can I run linux applications and windows applications from the same partition on an external hdd?
[08:51] <bcc_> apokryphos: is there a way i could do that with a release and not debootstrap?
[08:51] <icefeldt> brw-no: sure if iot is fat32
[08:51] <Mitja> Anyone on startup scripts ^^ ?
[08:51] <leafw> apokryphos : gparted lists the big slice that freebsd did as a single partition, but df lists the logical partitions and I can mount each one individually ... how come I can't edit each one?
[08:52] <brew-no> Can I partition a hdd from inside ubuntu?
[08:52] <brew-no> What would I use?
[08:52] <apokryphos> bcc_: I'm not really familiar with how raid works. I don't see why you couldn't do that with chroot/debootstrap though
[08:52] <apokryphos> leafw: that's very curious, I don't know why I'm afraid.
[08:52] <apokryphos> brew-no: gparted
[08:52] <apokryphos> leafw: file a bug
[08:53] <bcc_> apokryphos: that's why i'm going with debootstrap and not a release image
[08:53] <leafw> apokryphos : xD ok
[08:53] <Sphygmos> hey... what's the default documents folder on ubuntu? is it just my home directory?
[08:53] <bcc_> apokryphos: i don't think you can use a release to install on an existing box, even if onto an empty drive
[08:53] <eclypse> hey all
[08:53] <scifi> hi guys, does anyone use opera and is it performance wise better than firefox ?
[08:53] <apokryphos> bcc_: if you get the release image then you could possibly get it done with an "expert install", but not any standard way no.
[08:53] <gostview> nickrud> did you reach any ?
[08:53] <gnomefreak> Sphygmos: home dir
[08:53] <eclypse> I got a problem, guys
[08:53] <nickrud> gostview, it's something about pmount
[08:53] <bcc_> apokryphos: is there any downside in using debootstrap to do that?
[08:54] <eclypse> I have the infamous unable to mount root prior to restarting the computer
[08:54] <eclypse> after installation. fresh installation
[08:54] <apokryphos> bcc_: not really, should be more-or-less straightforward.
[08:54] <gnomefreak> eclypse: lets here it
[08:54] <apokryphos> bcc_: /msg ubotu chroot for instructions
[08:54] <eclypse> well, I tried editing my menu.lst and fstab files but they seemed to be
[08:54] <eclypse> directed to the correct hard drive
[08:54] <gostview> nickrud> so strange, ...really strange, I do the same and nothing happend to me.
[08:54] <bcc_> thanks
[08:54] <eclypse> and therese still an error.
[08:54] <leafw> took me 5 pages to find the bug reporting page for ubuntu .. .1 page for kubuntu. Ehem!
[08:54] <eclypse> and it brings up this busybox prompt
[08:54] <eclypse> is there anything I can do within this prompt?
[08:55] <nickrud> gostview, if I boot with a partition in /media , it never leaves the desktop, no matter where I mount it afterwards. If I boot with it mounted outside of /media, mounting it media doesn't put it back on the desktop. That's the behavior I've found so far.
[08:55] <Centaur5> How can I get the speaker out on an Intel 82801G sound card to work for headphones?
[08:55] <gordon1986> is there a command line app which will read 2 txt files t1 & t2, and remove all lines in t1 which are also in t2? (t2 would be left alone)
[08:55] <moquist_> Centaur5: plug them in?
[08:55] <nickrud> s/mounting it media /mounting it in media/
[08:55] <kallei> im having problems with my ipod and amararok. i can transfer tracks to the ipod and play the from the ipod in amarok. But i cannot play the songs on the ipod itself, as if the ipod "track register" doesnt get updated? any ideas?
[08:55] <Centaur5> moquist_: It doesn't work
[08:55] <rata> Centaur5, rmmod pcspkr ?
[08:56] <Centaur5> rata: Okay, so would I lsmod pcspkr if I wanted to use the laptops speakers afterwards?
[08:56] <scifi> noone ?
[08:56] <Sphygmos> is there a good tool in ubuntu for synchronizing folders? i want to periodically sync my documents folder on my windows PC
[08:56] <apokryphos> gordon1986: hm, you could use a diff to list all the differences, then, hm
[08:56] <gostview> nickrud> well, not for me, wherever I mount it, they appears where it always are, ...on my desktop.
[08:57] <SurfnKid> guys how can i mount my ntfs drive
[08:57] <SurfnKid> I try with Disk Manager or whatever that is
[08:57] <SurfnKid> and it doesnt allow
[08:57] <eclypse> guys
[08:57] <gnomefreak> ubotu forget hippies
[08:57] <ubotu> gnomefreak: i didn't have anything called 'hippies'
[08:57] <eclypse> I'm still getting that error.
[08:57] <nickrud> gostview, oh, forgot: I removed the gid=46
[08:57] <eclypse> nobody really has attempted to help lol
[08:57] <rata> Centaur5, no, modprobe instead of lsmod. lsmod is to list modules loaded, modprobe is to load modules
[08:57] <rata> Centaur5, and rmmod is to unload modules
[08:57] <eclypse> I get an error, unable to mount root file system, and it brings up a
[08:57] <eclypse> busybox prompt
[08:57] <SurfnKid> whats the normal command to mount an NTFS part.
[08:57] <Centaur5> rata: haha, yeah...that's what I meant  :)  I typed it wrong
[08:58] <rata> Centaur5, :)
[08:58] <dust> how do you alter ACPI power settings?
[08:58] <Centaur5> rata: That module doesn't exist
[08:58] <rata> dust, in /etc/acpi ?
[08:58] <scifi> hi guys, does anyone use opera and is it performance wise better than firefox ?
[08:59] <MusicEatingPanda> alsa doesnt work
[08:59] <MusicEatingPanda> v/v
[08:59] <LjL> scifi: no, and yes
[08:59] <asabil> eclypse, could you show me your menu.lst ?
[08:59] <eclypse> no, because it wont boot up lol
[08:59] <larry> so I'm trying to get to rescue mode from the DVD, I hit escape to get to the text menu, type rescue, and it just says could not find kernal image rescue
[08:59] <rata> Centaur5, "pcspkr" ?
[08:59] <eclypse> I'm gonna have to re-install ubuntu again just to get it to boot up
[08:59] <scifi> LjL: so worth me trying ?
[08:59] <Ayabara> what do you guys use to monitor cpuload, ram usage and such?
[08:59] <eclypse> unless you can figure something out that I can do within this busy box
[08:59] <eclypse> prompt
[08:59] <s|k> whenever they have a new kernel update I have to reinstall my nvidia driver, I wish they would stop updating the kernel, it's not a beta anymore
[08:59] <MusicEatingPanda> would anyone know why alsa doesnt work on a fresh ubuntu install?
[09:00] <dust> rata, i'm going to check that out thanks.
[09:00] <LjL> scifi: it's a nice browser. i don't like its being proprietary, but it's still nice
[09:00] <MusicEatingPanda> ailed to construct test pipeline for 'ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture'
[09:00] <Centaur5> rata: No, lsmod | grep pcspkr doesn't show anything
[09:00] <rata> dust, in is very common for configuration files tu be in /etc
[09:00] <gostview> nickrud>going to eliminate gid=46... however another strange think is the partition of /winxp (hda1) it appear with a name that it as given by itself (/mnt/winxp instead "WINXP")
[09:00] <asabil> eclypse, reboot
[09:00] <scifi> LjL: what u mean by proprietary ?
[09:00] <asabil> and in grub
[09:00] <LjL> scifi: closed source.
[09:00] <eclypse> k...
[09:00] <asabil> type e
[09:00] <bcc_> i'm getting an error about locales, but i can't even run gpkg-reconfigure locales. what else can i try?
[09:01] <asabil> this will give you the possibility to edit the menu.lst
[09:01] <eclypse> ok
[09:01] <rata> Centaur5, mmm, perhaps yo dont compile it as a module and you put it inside the kernel ?
[09:01] <eclypse> it looks liek its showing the menu.lst
[09:01] <asabil> check that a correct root=... param is give to the kernel
[09:01] <dust> rata, yeah i guess i should know that. the one draw back of a fully GUI computer is that i don't know what is where and what it is doing.
[09:02] <rata> Centaur5, i dont know the defaults of ubuntu kernels. I use debian, an now it is compiled as a module, but before it was insede the kernel... perhaps it is that
[09:02] <jtj> i have something odd happening with my software update. One will not install. I am new but i chatted with someone yesterday in another room and he gave me a fix but now its back again. the update is nvidia kernel common. yestterday this guy said it was sthing to do with sources getting stuck in packages or something. is thisa bug? is it sthing i need to fix?
[09:03] <scifi> LjL: the download page only seems to have the shared Qt version, but apprently the static version is faster and stable, any idea where i can get hold of it ?
[09:03] <eclypse> ok
[09:03] <Centaur5> rata: Well I tried finding out what other people have done to fix it but they had the problem that the laptop speakers didn't work, only their headphones.  They had a simple way of fixing it but nobody had my problem.
[09:03] <asabil> eclypse, if you fix it
[09:03] <NoUse> jtj just run 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common' and it should pull it down
[09:03] <asabil> you have to edit the menu.lst
[09:03] <jtj> no i tried that yesterday
[09:03] <NoUse> jtj if not, pastebin the error
[09:03] <eclypse> I did
[09:03] <eclypse> just now
[09:03] <asabil> changes in this grib boot are not permanent
[09:03] <jtj> he made me edit a pkg file or sthing
[09:03] <eclypse> heres the mounting errors...
[09:03] <NoUse> jtj link
[09:04] <rata> Centaur5, wait, what is speaker ? (sorry, i do not speak english native :)
[09:04] <jtj> nouse sorry link?
[09:04] <LjL> scifi: no. are you sure that's true? using shared libraries is generally better than static libraries
[09:04] <eclypse> 'mount: Mounting /dev/sda on /root failed: no such device'
[09:04] <NoUse> jtj the link to your pastebin posting
[09:04] <asabil> eclypse, are you sure it's /dev/sda
[09:04] <jtj> i cant recall
[09:04] <eclypse> 'mount: Mounting on /root/dev on /dev/.static/dev failed: no such file or
[09:04] <eclypse> directory
[09:04] <jtj> what do you want me to post?
[09:04] <eclypse> yes
[09:04] <jtj> paste rather
[09:04] <asabil> i'd say it's /dev/sda2
[09:04] <eclypse> I'll try now
[09:04] <rata> Centaur5, the "beep" ? or "common" sound where you hear music, for example ?
[09:05] <nickrud> gostview, it also uses the mountpoint here for the label.
[09:05] <NoUse> jtj the error you are getting
[09:05] <finger> my user crontab isn't running ... wtf ???
[09:05] <NoUse> jtj also, please put my nick in messages intended for me
[09:05] <scifi> LjL: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OperaBrowser?highlight=%28opera%29 , in the "installing..." paragraph he says "Static may be faster and more stable, at least it is in one long time Opera fan's experience"
[09:05] <eclypse> nopet
[09:05] <eclypse> hat wasen't it either
[09:05] <eclypse> that*
[09:06] <asabil> hmmm
[09:06] <asabil> in the busybox
[09:06] <jtj> oh i can type tht e: the package index files are corrupted. no file name: field for pc=ackage nvidia....    E: unnable to lock the download directroy
[09:06] <asabil> could you try to mount the root partition ?
[09:06] <gordon1986> is there a command line app which will read 2 txt files t1 & t2, and remove all lines in t1 which are also in t2? (t2 would be left alone)
[09:06] <eclypse> with what commands?
[09:06] <gostview> nickrud> I've yet tried to modify the label in mountpoint (you mean fstab?)
