[16:22] <Pici> Esteth: It may take a long time, It took me 4 hours to resize a bunch of paritions on my 80gb 5400rpm drive.
[16:22] <iresprite> ugh. now when I try to connect to the printer via windows, I get "Access denied, unable to connect".
[16:23] <Esteth> Pici: Ok, thanks. It would be faster to move my home partition to a new hard drive then, i assume.
[16:23] <neverblue> xplatinum, how are you changing the file, whats the command ?
[16:23] <Niteye> i assume the partitioner moves files if theyre physical locations make it a problem to repartition?
[16:23] <Pici> Esteth: It might indeed.
[16:23] <JonkoPa> How do I configure my timezone?
[16:23] <xplatinum> neverblue: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:23] <JonkoPa> from console?
[16:23] <Bonste1> frostwire is not working for any1?
[16:23] <Esteth> Pici: Thanks again for all your help :)
[16:23] <neverblue> xplatinum, do you have an nividia, or an ait ?
[16:23] <Niekk> when will the new Ubuntu (Linux) kernel be released ?
[16:23] <iresprite> oh, here we go:

[16:24] <xplatinum> neverblue: If I edit the file and restart it works, but on the second restart it resets
[16:24] <iresprite> What's that?
[16:24] <Hex_101> Bonste1, try on the frostwire irc, go to their linux channel
[16:24] <Niekk> when will the new Ubuntu (Linux) kernel be released ? (The one that will fix the random freezes :P )
[16:24] <Caleb_Estartes> Help!  I need to configure an IP to a DNS server for my FTP - but I'm not sure what conf file those options are in.

[16:24] <xplatinum> neverblue: Nvidia propriatery(sp?) drivers
[16:24] <toxicfume> can someone help me
[16:24] <jrib> Ax-Ax: basically, you are going to have to dist-upgrade again and resolve any errors that come up
[16:24] <sjovan>                    program called NVTV, but the colors go all grey on the TV.
[16:24] <Ax-Ax> jrib: ok lol
[16:24] <Hex_101> Bonste1 awww, get on the IRC for them, and go to the linux channel,i'll meet you there
[16:24] <toxicfume> i just installed ubuntu on my computer, and upon logging into it for the first time, i had my data partition mounted on the desktop with a really nice hard drive icon, but after i installed my video card drivers and some updates and then restarted the system, that same icon became an ugly old fat drive icon...why did this happen?
[16:24] <neverblue> xplatinum, there is an nvidia app, nvidia-xorg and nvidia-settings used to the the xorg.conf
[16:24] <Bonste1> Hex_101: #frostwire?
[16:24] <Niekk> when will the new Ubuntu (Linux) kernel be released ? (The one that will fix the random freezes :P )
[16:25] <Hex_101> Bonste1: i'llmessage it you
[16:25] <xplatinum> neverblue: I will try that right now, thanks for the tip
[16:25] <keegan> any one using a vaio fz 140 e, i cant use the advanced visual effects
[16:25] <ader10> I installed XFCE on top of ubuntu, and I want to switch to that. Gnome's bunched apps are replacing xfce's stuff, like metacity vs xfwm4. How do I stop GNOME from overriding XFCE?
[16:25] <neverblue> xplatinum, but you reallly need to see whats causing your file to not save or why its becoming rewritten to
[16:26] <jeffrey> is this a ubuntu channel
[16:26] <jeffrey> im a noob to linux!
[16:26] <rsk> it is
[16:26] <jeffrey> hey all noobie to linux here
[16:26] <jamili> fine, i reinstall this one last time
[16:26] <jeffrey> is anyone here
[16:27] <rsk> jeffrey: more than 1000 people is here
[16:27] <xplatinum> neverblue: I can I check that ? I just saved the xorg.conf file through nvidia-settings (w/ merging option)
[16:27] <jamili> more than 1271
[16:27] <zombie_monkey> how do I fix it myself when it starts failing to connect to repositories
[16:27] <zombie_monkey> it's annoying
[16:27] <xplatinum> how*
[16:27] <zombie_monkey> why does it alwasy do that anyway?
[16:27] <neverblue> xplatinum, did you use gksudo or sudo ?
[16:27] <zombie_monkey> I mean it usually eventually fixes itself...
[16:27] <xplatinum> neverblue: sudo
[16:28] <jeffrey> 1271 users and not 1 response ?
[16:28] <julius> Ive tried to recompile my dsdt tables and the intel asl compiler has said "Segmentation fault ( core dumped )" I would really benefit from reading the error information, how do i access it?
[16:28] <keegan> when i installed ubuntu and visited a site that used java it gave me an option to intall gcj or a closed source software. how do i get that option again cause gcj dosnt seem to work fine on a site i visit. and now if i install java from java site it dosnt work either . i have java enabled in my browser
[16:28] <Niekk> when will the new Ubuntu (Linux) kernel be released ? (The one that will fix the random freezes :P )
[16:29] <julius> Niekk: unless its a massive issue not for a long while
[16:29] <jeffrey> ?
[16:29] <neverblue> !patience
[16:29] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[16:29] <julius> i havent had one crash yet due to the kernel
[16:29] <rsk> jeffrey: response about what?
[16:29] <Niekk> julius: I think freezes ARE a massive issue ? :O
[16:29] <julius> jeffrey: what is your question?
[16:29] <xplatinum> neverblue: I should have used gksudo ?
[16:29] <Alyxander> hey anyone still have an active modem?
[16:29] <julius> Niekk: massive as in you are not the only one :P
[16:29] <toxicfume> can someone please help me
[16:29] <Alyxander> toxicfume whats up
[16:30] <Niekk> julius: I am not the only one :P Some guys I know have it too, and they say it is in the kernel ..
[16:30] <Mitch_> What will happen if I completly remove my Ubuntu partiton, and expand my Windows? Since Grub is on it
[16:30] <julius> Niekk: if its a single uncommon piece of hardware that doesnt like a newer kernel driver you will just have to patch or work around it yourself :P
[16:30] <julius> ah ic
[16:30] <neverblue> xplatinum, as long as you use either, the file will be saved...
[16:30] <Hex_101> Bonste1: you still there?
[16:30] <julius> Mitch_: you will need to reinstall the winxp mbr bootloader
[16:30] <hendrixski> hey.  you know how mplayer will play one file after another if you pass it a file that is one file per line?  Is there any way to generate that kind of a file for multiple directories with ls?
[16:30] <xplatinum> neverblue: any idea how to check why a file gets replaced on reboot ?
[16:30] <Bonste1> Hex_101: yea
[16:30] <toxicfume> Alyxander: i just installed ubuntu on my computer, and upon logging into it for the first time, i had my data partition mounted on the desktop with a really nice hard drive icon, but after i installed my video card drivers and some updates and then restarted the system, that same icon became an ugly old fat drive icon...why did this happen?
[16:30] <Niekk> julius: I am not the only one :P Some guys I know have it too, and they say it is in the kernel ..
[16:30] <Bonste1> im in the ##linux channel
[16:30] <Mitch_> julius, ty
[16:30] <julius> Mitch_: launch XP cd, go to recovery console and type in fixmbr
[16:31] <Hex_101> Am i okay to post a link to another IRC server for support on a other issue?
[16:31] <Mitch_> eek, I don't exactly have it :\
[16:31] <neverblue> xplatinum, read the verbose output (but I think your imaging things :)
[16:31] <spin_> ciao
[16:31] <Alyxander> toxicfume ati graphics driver?
[16:31] <julius> Mitch_: well
[16:31] <jeffrey> hi guys
[16:31] <keegan> when i installed ubuntu and visited a site that used java it gave me an option to intall gcj or a closed source software. how do i get that option again cause gcj dosnt seem to work fine on a site i visit. and now if i install java from java site it dosnt work either . i have java enabled in my browser
[16:31] <jeffrey> im a newb to linux
[16:31] <toxicfume> Alyxander: no, nvidia
[16:31] <julius> Mitch_: expand the windows partition and then installl grub to the MBR from a live cd
[16:31] <adelie> Is there a way to check total traffic since uptime?
[16:31] <rsk> jeffrey: you told that already
[16:31] <Alyxander> toxicfume remove the driver and see if it bings it back
[16:31] <jeffrey> i wasnt sure i was in the channel before
[16:31] <jeffrey> sorry
[16:31] <julius> Mitch_: come back to us on IRC to get instructions to install grub, it isnt as easy as it should be on the live cd
[16:32] <Mitch_> k thanks
[16:32] <toxicfume> Alyxander: but i remove the driver then my video performance will decrease
[16:32] <Mitch_> I think i will just wait, to borrow the XP cd from a friend.
[16:32] <Alyxander> keegan sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[16:32] <keegan> Alyxander:  thanks
[16:32] <Alyxander> yup
[16:33] <xplatinum> neverblue: 1) edit the xorg.conf - save 2) restart 3) 1360x768 is there 4) restart again - back to 1024x768 with a replaced xorg.conf file. -------- I set the refresh rate in nvidia-settings to 60 but the screens/res panel in administration says i'm in 76hz :S
[16:33] <Alyxander> toxicfume ok then change the icon manually
[16:33] <julius> Mitch_: either way will work
[16:33] <julius> just means it will go grub->xp
[16:33] <toxicfume> Alyxander: can you instruct me on how to do that
[16:33] <neverblue> xplatinum, you dont have to explain it to me 3-4 times, I got it the first, tahts why I am helping....
[16:33] <jeffrey> Is this channel mainly for support ?
[16:33] <Pici> jeffrey: Yes.
[16:33] <spamoom> Hi there guys, I'm in desperate need of help.  And I've noticed that my sound card isn't detected. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToSetupSoundCards didnt do anything for me
[16:33] <julius> jeffrey:yes
[16:33] <Mitch_> julius, ty
[16:33] <Pici> jeffrey: Mainly/Only.  Chatter in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:33] <julius> spamoon: what soundcard do you have
[16:33] <Alyxander> toxicfume its easy right clicnt on the icon you want to change and hit properties
[16:34] <xplatinum> neverblue: lol ok cuz with "(but I think your imaging things" i though you were saying I was imaginating things :P
[16:34] <julius> lspci | grep AC
[16:34] <jeffrey> Thanks Pici
[16:34] <spamoom> julius: Creative Soundblaster Xfi Platinum
[16:34] <julius> ouch
[16:34] <julius> creative have their own closed source drivers
[16:34] <neverblue> xplatinum, but just to let you know something that I know, you are imaging things, there is no way something is just going to change your xorg.conf, you had to have setup something to do it, a computer doesnt think/perform actions that itself deems necessary
[16:34] <toxicfume> Alyxander: okay, and which location is the place where all the icons are kept in ubuntu?
[16:34] <adelie> how do I check total traffic since uptime? I am trying to setup apt-mirror, and it has been downloading for 3 days. gnome-system-monitor only tracks traffic over a limited period of time. How do I see all of it?
[16:34] <Bonste1> is frostwire not loading up for any1 else?
[16:34] <Alyxander> toxicfume the click on the icon in the properties menu
[16:34] <julius> you will have to download them yourself, they are installable but most people dont use em since linux is meant to be open :) + closed drivers arent that great
[16:34] <julius> then again the nvidia ones arent too bad
[16:34] <Alyxander> toxicfume it will default to that location
[16:35] <toxicfume> Alyxander: it doesn't :/
[16:35] <xplatinum> neverblue: a bug in ubuntu could do it (maybe)... a conflict between nvidia driver and the way ubuntu is setup
[16:35] <thyx> Dedibox livrée ;) merci bien. Bonne soirée
[16:35] <orionr> is there a way to get the nvidia-settings to detect what kind of monitor you have?
[16:35] <aglet> I've got a problem with Gnome startup -- panel encountered a problem while loading a bunch of things: http://pastie.caboo.se/114220 -- I've tried resetting gnome config & indeed starting with a completely fresh home dir, nothing seems to help
[16:35] <MTecknology> what's it mean if I can log into failsafe gnome and everything is perfect, but logging into normal gnome makes the windows manager royally screwed? i see the windows split in half w/ each half being filled separately...
[16:35] <toxicfume> Alyxander: it just takes me to the desktop when i browse for the icon
[16:35] <julius> spamoon: and if you missed all of the above just head up to www.creative.com and grab the latest binary drivers
[16:35] <spamoom> julius: hmm, I'm not too bothered about open source aslong as it works =/. Lack of sound is really bad
[16:35] <neverblue> xplatinum, I havent seen anyone else have you imaginary issue yet :)
[16:35] <julius> spamoon: i hear that! i use the nvidia closed source since they are great
[16:36] <orionr> I swaped the cables on my monitors because i was running dual and something was messed up with one of the vga cables. THen i reconfigured my display with nvidia-settings but for some reason one of my monitors is not taking up the hole screen
[16:36] <spamoom> julius:I've looked at their site but they only give out the 64bit edition, which is kinda bad cause I need the 32 bit
[16:37] <orionr> Ah i just fixed it i hit the auto button on the monitor lol nvm woot
[16:37] <jeffrey> Can anyone recommend a application launcher for the 64 bit ubuntu, I come from XP and used RK Launcher.  Is there anything similar ?
[16:37] <julius> spamoon: are you sure? that sounds very very wierd
[16:37] <Alyxander> toxicfume either /usr/share/pixmaps or /usr/share/icons/
[16:38] <toxicfume> Alyxander: thanks so much :)
[16:38] <spamoom> julius: Positive, I would have at least though they would do the 32-bit first as it is the most popular, but alas they didnt.
[16:38] <julius> spamoon: use google
[16:38] <Niteye> i think for the next release they should include more photographs of young women's posteriors
[16:38] <spamoom> julius: Google has failed me this time
[16:38] <Pici> !ohmy | Niteye
[16:38] <ubotu> Niteye: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[16:38] <Alyxander> toxicfume np
[16:38] <adelie> xplatinum neverblue - one great thing though is that when setups do change your xorg.conf, your old file becomes xorg.conf.backup. just delete the broken one, and "cp xorg.conf.backup xorg.conf". Or, if there were no special custom setup options, debconf xorg will make a new file the way the live CD would have done it, basically. OR if you like the simple GUI way, copy the xorg.conf file off a live CD after boot. it had to make one on startup anyway
[16:38] <IdleOne> !offtopic | Niteye
[16:38] <ubotu> Niteye: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[16:38] <sanguisdex> does any one know of a chanel where I could get meld support?
[16:38] <IdleOne> #meld
[16:39] <neverblue> adelie but why is it being re-written on just his second reboot....
[16:39] <spamoom> julius: sudo modprobe snd-sb16    I got that off the ubuntu site, but didnt do anything =/
[16:39] <sanguisdex> IdleOne: that is not an active chanel
[16:39] <adelie> neverblue every boot?
[16:39] <jeffrey> Can anyone recommend a application launcher for the 64 bit ubuntu, I come from XP and used RK Launcher.  Is there anything similar ?
[16:39] <IdleOne> sanguisdex: it was a wild guess
[16:39] <neverblue> adelie, that is not what i said :)
[16:40] <julius> spamoom: is that module for your card or for the older soundblaster's
[16:40] <l> #ubuntu-it
[16:40] <Pici> jeffrey: kiba-dock or awn.  Both are beta I believe.
[16:40] <PuppiesAtWork> How do I make X.org work on Fluxbuntu?  I gave it a screen resolution when I was first installing that doesn't work, and so I changed it to "1024x768" in xorg.conf, but it still won't work
[16:40] <spamoom> julius: thats the thing, im not too sure
[16:40] <PuppiesAtWork> THis is on a macbook pro, widescreen
[16:40] <sanguisdex> IdleOne: that was the first thing I checked
[16:40] <PuppiesAtWork> don't have any drivers installed yet
[16:40] <jeffrey> you the man pici
[16:40] <adelie> mteknology try installing restricted drivers. I had the same problem with a grForceFX 5900
[16:40] <PuppiesAtWork> does anyone know something i can try to make X show up?
[16:40] <Dr_Willis> !fixres
[16:40] <adelie> puppiesatwork startx
[16:40] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[16:41] <julius> PuppiesAtWork: what is the error X gives you
[16:41] <NNTB> hi all the new 7.10 is out nad i have a small few questions.
[16:41] <julius> open up a CLI console and type startx
[16:41] <julius> then tell us what it cries about
[16:41] <Hex_101> NNTB: go ahead
[16:41] <Alyxander> NNTB whaats up
[16:41] <spamoom> julius: after I have put in that command though, do I need to reboot?
[16:41] <NNTB> has linux reached the point where a GUI has compleate functionality over the text based UI?
[16:41] <spamoom> julius: <-- bit of a linux noob
[16:41] <Alyxander> NNTB yeah!
[16:41] <kjcole> I'm having a problem with third-party print drivers, cups and apparmor (I think).  First I was getting errors that appear in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133818
[16:41] <julius> spamoom: no
[16:42] <NNTB> so i can do EVORYTHING in the GUI without text input into a console of sorts?
[16:42] <Alyxander> yes
[16:42] <f0rgeIf`> how do I get 4 as  Cu(SO"4")2
[16:42] <Alyxander> you just haveto know where to look
[16:42] <f0rgeIf`> my keyboard is weird:x
[16:42] <NNTB> ok so even setting a static ip for a network setup?
[16:42] <Alyxander> yup
[16:42] <NNTB> or installing hardware!
[16:42] <Alyxander> yup
[16:42] <NNTB> this is excyting ^^
[16:42] <kjcole> Now I get jobs that say they're submitted, but then disappear into a black hole.  The print queue clears, and the printer state returns to "Ready" but no output.
[16:43] <Alyxander> yes it is i need to load all my wine stuff so i can drop windows like a bad habbit
[16:43] <NNTB> i used to try out ubuntu and sabayon (2 diffrent distros of linux) i found both rather not working well with my laptop...
[16:43] <kjcole> (The printer -- a Canon imageRunner 8500 -- worked fine under Breezy, Dapper, Edgy and Feisty.  Gutsy broke it.)
[16:43] <NNTB> aparntly they dont like my network card
[16:43] <respuesta> Can anyone help me migrate from Thunderbird to Evolution?
[16:44] <NNTB> is hardware drivers in linux better then 6.10?
[16:44] <MasterShrek> NNTB, what network card is it?
[16:44] <cube> what do i use to share files between 2 of my computers both running 7.10? i want to set it up like a home network where you can enable folders as shared
[16:44] <iresprite> okay...
[16:44] <aglet> does anyone run Ubuntu with their home directory as something other than /home/username?  It seems GNOME objects to this
[16:44] <MasterShrek> NNTB, definately better than 6.10
[16:44] <alain> how do i set up two sound devices through console? i have VIA RHINE, and a USB headset that doesn't work (but its properly installed and the modules are too), how do i switch between them? "Multimedia System selector" doesn't do it.
[16:44] <NNTB> its a brodcom. let me find the make
[16:44] <Alyxander> NNTB yup what kind of laptop?
[16:44] <kl4m> I have a quick one: is the Ubuntu samba package syslog-enabled?
[16:44] <bulmer> kjcole-> did you look around /var/spool/cups ?
[16:44] <Alyxander> NNTB mine is a brodcom and 7.10 works out of the box with no tweak
[16:44] <MasterShrek> NNTB, my broadcom works jsut fine in gutsy (7.10) but u need to install the firmware to use it
[16:44] <NNTB> HP ze2308wm
[16:44] <spamoom> julius: Actually now that I think about it, the sound worked on an older version of ubuntu I think. Could 7.10 have anything to do with it?
[16:44] <kjcole> bulmer: empty
[16:45] <julius> cube: use samba
[16:45] <cube> ty
[16:45] <NNTB> i am told it works with a wrapper on most distro's but i had so many issues trying to get it to work.
[16:45] <julius> cube: that is the windows networking protocol, while NFS would be faster wouldnt make much diff and samba has better permissions + compatability
[16:45] <iresprite> okay
[16:45] <iresprite> E [05/Nov/2007:11:43:02 -0500] PID 8388 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertoz600) stopped with status 127!
[16:45] <MasterShrek> NNTB, there is a bcm43xx driver in the mainline linux kernel now
[16:45] <NNTB> oh
[16:45] <iresprite> I got this after doing # lpr test.txt
[16:45] <julius> spamoom: find the name of the module used for your card then type dmesg | grep *modulename*
[16:45] <Alyxander> NNTB after i installed 7.10 i didnt use ndiswrapper it just worked
[16:45] <bulmer> kjcole-> well locate the cups config file and see if thats where it puts things  /var/spool/cups
[16:45] <cube> julius: so i could enable sharing with the windows computers the other users have?
[16:45] <Alyxander> and is working right now
[16:46] <NNTB> wow... ok
[16:46] <julius> spamoom: that checks the log for any outputs from that module
[16:46] <respuesta> Does anyone know how I can migrate Thunderbird profiles to Evolution?
[16:46] <julius> cube: yes
[16:46] <MasterShrek> NNTB, its still a bit sketchy in 7.04, 7.10 works good, and 8.04 will work even better when the b43 driver is out
[16:46] <cube> niffty
[16:46] <Hex_101> NNTB: in a short time, linux has become a proper rival to windows :)
[16:46] <julius> cube: i use samba for sharing files between nix and windows pc's, you can set up a server with logins and other stuff easily too
[16:46] <NNTB> i dont know about that...
[16:46] <iresprite> Now I'm seeing "Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds..."
[16:46] <Alyxander> MasterShrek when is 8.04 due?
[16:46] <NNTB> i have yet to see a distro that runs wine on its live cd
[16:46] <MasterShrek> 8.04 = april 2004
[16:46] <NNTB> >.<
[16:46] <iresprite> Device URI: usb:/dev/usblp0
[16:47] <iresprite> Can anyone help me
[16:47] <julius> cube: www.ubuntuguide.org should be of some help
[16:47] <Alyxander> MasterShrek ok now im confused your talking build versions of ubuntu ?
[16:47] <kjcole> bulmer: When printing, the printer goes to a busy state for a while and returns to a ready state (expected behavior).  This is with tools that watch the printer rather than CUPS queue.
[16:47] <cube> ok, thanks
[16:47] <kjcole> bulmer: Will double check...
[16:47] <Alyxander> iresprite whats up
[16:47] <MasterShrek> Alyxander, hardy heron, ubuntu 8.04 is going to be released in april of 2008, as 8.04 suggests year.month
[16:47] <NNTB> is baryl-compez or whatever comparible to DWM in vista?
[16:48] <xplatinum> neverblue: ok problem solved. the file was indeed being reset by nvidia drivers because I did not save the xorg.conf through their settings panel. After merging settings to xorg.conf file and # the old screen section, everything is fine after every single reboot.
[16:48] <MasterShrek> NNTB, it blows whatever vista is using out of the water
[16:48] <spamoom> julius: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43424/
[16:48] <Alyxander> MasterShrek oh you have typed 04 the first time
[16:48] <spamoom> julius: only the sb gave me some output
[16:48] <keegan> any one using a vaio fz 140 e, i cant use the advanced visual effects
[16:49] <MasterShrek> keegan, installed your graphics driver?
[16:49] <neverblue> nice xplatinum :)
[16:49] <spamoom> problem is though    sudo modprobs sb     returns FATAL : Module sb not found.
[16:49] <xplatinum> How do I fine tune the special effects in Ubuntu when using the "extra" setting ? I suppose it's some sort of compiz panel ? I like the extras but i'd prefer not having the wobbly windows
[16:49] <respuesta> Does anyone know anything about switching from Thunderbird to Evolution??
[16:50] <NNTB> is there a way to see a FPS counter in kde?
[16:50] <NNTB> or a way to render in directX rather then openGL?
[16:50] <Lawke> Hi, I think I just installed ndiswrapper with success, but how do I install the windows wifi driver to use it??
[16:50] <MasterShrek> xplatinum, i believe if you apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager you can mess with that kinda stuff
[16:50] <NNTB> my card works better for dx
[16:50] <rsk> NNTB: not possible
[16:50] <NNTB> ?
[16:50] <cube> xplatinum: if you don't have advance desktop settings install the configuration part of compiz-fusion
[16:50] <NNTB> isnt there directX suport in linux?
[16:50] <rsk> ?
[16:50] <rsk> no
[16:50] <cube> xplatinum: then you will have all the options
[16:50] <keegan> MasterShrek:  yes but i dont know if its the right one
[16:51] <NNTB> why?
[16:51] <no_mind> any doc which specifies how to compile ubuntu from sources ?
[16:51] <xplatinum> cube: MasterShrek: thanks will try that
[16:51] <rsk> NNTB: cause windows dosen't want it that way
[16:51] <MasterShrek> no_mind, why would you want to?
[16:51] <NNTB> cant dx run in wine?
[16:51] <julius> spamoom: i havent had much experience with the cards myself, maybe make a post in the ubuntu forums, under hardware or whatever not in gen help or abs beginners
[16:51] <rsk> yep
[16:51] <MasterShrek> NNTB, i believe so
[16:51] <no_mind> MasterShrek, for fun. Also want to mess around
[16:51] <Lawke> Hi, I think I just installed ndiswrapper with success, but how do I install the windows wifi driver to use it??
[16:51] <keegan> MasterShrek:  its some VESA generic
[16:52] <spamoom> julius: thanks will do that. Cheers for you help
[16:52] <NNTB> so couldnt ubuntu's gui run in dx in wine?
[16:52] <no_mind> MasterShrek, maybe i will replace the kernel
[16:52] <MasterShrek> keegan, then you havent installed it
[16:52] <rsk> NNTB: nope
[16:52] <NNTB> -.-;;
[16:52] <rsk> NNTB: gnome is not a windows app
[16:52] <keegan> MasterShrek:  how do i find the right driver
[16:52] <MasterShrek> no_mind, you wouldnt compile ubuntu from source to do that
[16:52] <rsk> therefore it can't run in wine
[16:52] <NNTB> gnome?
[16:52] <rsk> yes
[16:52] <NNTB> isnt ubuntu kde?
[16:52] <iresprite> Is there an easy way to check if a printer is correctly connected?
[16:52] <MasterShrek> NNTB, kubuntu is
[16:52] <rsk> ubuntu uses gnome by default
[16:52] <rsk> you mut be thinking of kubuntu
[16:52] <Pici> NNTB: Kubuntu uses KDE, Ubuntu uses Gnome (by defaults)
[16:53] <keegan> MasterShrek:  there are two drivers showing on my graphics card tab
[16:53] <iresprite> Using lsusb, I can confirm that the printer is there:
[16:53] <iresprite> Bus 002 Device 002: ID 043d:0057 Lexmark International, Inc. Z35 Printer
[16:53] <no_mind> MasterShrek, but what makes you think i will use linux kernel if i have to compile ubuntu from source
[16:53] <NNTB> is kubuntu far beind ubuntu?
[16:53] <rsk> NNTB: nope not behind
[16:53] <Nixoninnes> Hey, im having problems with videos displaying on my tv, which is connected through VGA, any suggestions
[16:53] <NNTB> oh does ubuntu suport ppc core pc's?
[16:53] <RichW> Is there a GUI tool to mount and unmount drives?
[16:53] <rsk> yes NNTB
[16:54] <NNTB> like a pc that uses the cell brodband engine?
[16:54] <MasterShrek> no_mind, i dont think u have any idea what you are talking about, but there is a way to install the source packages of software, although if you want to do a lot of compiling and stuff, i would use a distro like gentoo or slackware
[16:54] <no_mind> NNTB, yup ubuntu supports ppc
[16:54] <IdleOne> !ppc | NNTB
[16:54] <ubotu> NNTB: PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[16:54] <NNTB> thanks
[16:54] <NNTB> is there going to be a ps3 compatable distro of ubuntu?
[16:54] <xplatinum> cube: MasterShrek: worked very well ty
[16:54] <NNTB> or playstation 3
[16:54] <MasterShrek> NNTB, there already is
[16:54] <NNTB> oh
[16:54] <RichW> NNTB: ppc ubuntu works on ps3
[16:55] <keegan> MasterShrek:  00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) this is the out put from lspci
[16:55] <asymptote> #hak5
[16:55] <NNTB> there isnt any optimisation needed to make use of the 7 spu's?
[16:55] <MasterShrek> there is a specially designed iso for ps3, that includes ps3 patches that sony released for the kernel
[16:55] <Hex_101> hmm, well i have a HP iPAQ hx2190b..can i put linux on it in anyway?
[16:55] <NNTB> ah
[16:55] <NNTB> is it 7.10?
[16:55] <hellboy195> Hex_101: you always can try it ;)
[16:55] <MasterShrek> keegan, not sure exactly how to set that card up, but it shouldnt be very hard as intel gfx cards are generally pretty easy i believe
[16:55] <Hex_101> lool, i want it on ti rather than the windows thingy
[16:56] <MasterShrek> NNTB, yes, yes
[16:56] <keegan> MasterShrek:  where do i read up ?
[16:56] <hellboy195> Hex_101: try it and hope it's working. otherwise you have to wait a few months
[16:56] <no_mind> Hex_101, can you boot from sd card in ipaq ?
[16:56] <MasterShrek> !forums | keegan
[16:56] <ubotu> keegan: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums.
[16:56] <keegan> thanks
[16:56] <NNTB> can ubuntu run on moble phones?
[16:56] <NNTB> like ones that would use windows moble?
[16:57] <RichW> NNTB: No, but nokia has linux phones
[16:57] <Hex_101> no_mind: im not sure..it jsut came across my mind now that i mgiht ..somehow be able to get it on
[16:57] <MasterShrek> NNTB, apparently, ive never tried, but i think its probably still developmental
[16:57] <Jeffry> Hi, does someone know the problem when run a java applet which uses sound, then no other apps can play sound anymore
[16:57] <no_mind> NNTB, there is a ubuntu mobile edition

[16:57] <NNTB> those are nice quick refrence text IdleOne
[16:57] <RichW> Is there a GUI tool to mount and unmount drives?
[16:57] <no_mind> Hex_101, i dont know the native way to flash ipaq

[16:59] <ivana> amza
[16:59] <Sou1> is there a way to re-map the "places" links?
[16:59] <Hex_101> no_mind: i dropped my ipaq into a lake, now it no longer loads proprly [loads but never stops loading] so ..its rendered useless
[17:00] <no_mind> Hex_101, may be contact some local ubuntu hacker. he might help you
[17:00] <stroyan> RichW:  The /usr/bin/disks-admin executable is a GUI for manipulating mounting of partitions.
[17:00] <kung_buntu_fu> was the lake muddy at all?
[17:00]  * Hex_101 looks in the yellow pages..
[17:01] <Esteth> Sou1: Dragging a file/folder to the sidebar in nautilus creates it in the places menu
[17:01] <Hex_101> kung_buntu_fu: well..okay i dropped my camera in, then jumpoed in to get it, the pda was in my pocket, it wasnt muddy, was by a err waterfall
[17:01] <Lawke> Hi, I installed ndiswrapper and I have the windows driver for my Wireless card, now how do I install this?

[17:02] <Lawke> MasterShrek, it is a broadcom card in a Dell Inspiron 1501, but i'm changing because the default drivers only get 24mbit
[17:02] <kung_buntu_fu> Lawke u will need the inf from a windows intsallation save it to your desktop then use ndis front end
[17:02] <JManGt> Lawke... you need to copy you windows driver to a writeable folder in your user
[17:02] <piero> do you speak english? (manu_)
[17:02] <Lawke> I don't have that :'(
[17:02] <MasterShrek> Lawke, ndiswrapper --help shold give you useful information
[17:02] <PuppiesAtWork> how can i install ubuntu so it takes up less than a gig?
[17:02] <kung_buntu_fu> if it is broadcom i reccomend u use fwcutter
[17:03] <Lawke> whats that?
[17:03] <kung_buntu_fu> fwcutter extracts the firmware from your broadcom card...look on synaptics for it
[17:03] <piero> I sorry. who speak italian?

[17:05] <PuppiesAtWork> joejaxx: what should I do it with ?
[17:05] <Lawke> kung_buntu_fu, so not the default driver that ubuntu already uses?
[17:05] <princess^> rince
[17:05] <joejaxx> PuppiesAtWork: install a command line system then apt-get what you need
[17:05] <IdleOne> PuppiesAtWork: what is it you are looking to do with your <1gig OS?
[17:06] <kung_buntu_fu> Lawke u will need a file called wl_apsta.o u can google it, then install fwcutter from package manager it will ask u for wl_apsta.o

[17:06] <hery> mm
[17:06] <Hex_101> i tried installing the alternate CD on ubuntu 7.10 and for some reason it cant get the IP off the DHCP..but in windows i can
[17:07] <IdleOne> PuppiesAtWork: take a look at !dualboot and I suggest you adding some space to that partition 10gig should do it
[17:07] <PuppiesAtWork> IdleOne: I can't add to the partition size
[17:07] <PuppiesAtWork> without deleting my primary partition
[17:07] <PuppiesAtWork> that's the problem
[17:07] <kung_buntu_fu> resize it
[17:07] <PuppiesAtWork> I cannot
[17:07] <PuppiesAtWork> Bootcamp Utility won't let you
[17:07] <chazco> Hi... just after a general consensus... is anyone running Ubuntu 7.10 on a laptop... if so how does it compare to XP in terms of power consumption?
[17:08] <alexmic> I've a slight wifi problem (driver rt2x00pci), losing connect as anyone I compiled the legacy driver, rmmofded lthe rt2x00pci/libs and rt2500, and inserted sucessfully rt2500... Yet I cannot chang e my essid, or get a connexion afterwards... any idea?
[17:08] <IdleOne> PuppiesAtWork: use gparted
[17:08] <MasterShrek> chazco, depends on the laptop
[17:08] <PuppiesAtWork> IdleOne: Is that a LiveCD?
[17:08] <NixonInnes> When i play videos in Totem, they don't display on my LCD TV, which is connected vis a VGA cable, any suggestions on how to fix it?
[17:08] <JManGt> chazco... you get 30+ more time
[17:08] <IdleOne> PuppiesAtWork: they have a live cd yes
[17:08] <PuppiesAtWork> will that work for me?
[17:08] <JManGt> but it depends on what are you running
[17:08] <IdleOne> PuppiesAtWork: it should
[17:08] <kung_buntu_fu> Windows make my notebook get very hot and stuff
[17:09] <Hex_101> good in the winter time..
[17:09] <chazco> hmm... I suspected it might have a slight improvement over Windows, given that Linux in general seems more efficent so wont use the CPU as internsively etc... thanks :)
[17:09] <silviu> anyone has a definitive solution for Hibernate in 7.10 desktop
[17:09] <silviu> ?
[17:10] <kung_buntu_fu> mine doesnt hibernate well :P
[17:10] <JManGt> chazco... it also
[17:10] <Hex_101> hmm can i upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 without having to wipe the partition?
[17:10] <kakoonia> if im using a laptop what kind of screen should i choose? PnP?
[17:10] <JManGt> depends on your running services
[17:10] <MasterShrek> Hex_101, yes
[17:10] <MasterShrek> !upgrade | Hex_101
[17:10] <ubotu> Hex_101: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[17:10] <Hex_101> danke :)
[17:10] <chazco> hmm... I can hibernate my desktop with no issues...
[17:10] <PuppiesAtWork> i hope gparted has a gui
[17:10] <chazco> JManGt - yep, would expect so... mostly it'd be a similar clean install
[17:10] <silviu> i cant, it remains at a blinking screen
[17:10] <MasterShrek> PuppiesAtWork, gparted is a gui program
[17:11] <IdleOne> PuppiesAtWork: google gparted live cd
[17:11] <PuppiesAtWork> sweet
[17:11] <PuppiesAtWork> that's what i need
[17:11] <PuppiesAtWork> i did
[17:11] <alexmic> anyone on my rt2500 matter?
[17:11] <kakoonia> if im using a laptop what kind of screen should is set in the "screen resulution"? PnP?
[17:11] <PuppiesAtWork> my coworker (who has a CD burner) is downloading it for me
[17:11] <Detox_at_Work> anyone doa duel boot with vista?  and does it work ok?
[17:12] <Edoreld> Hello, can somebody answer me a simple question :)?
[17:12] <silviu> any advice/solution for my Hibernate problem?
[17:12] <MasterShrek> !ask | Edoreld
[17:12] <ubotu> Edoreld: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[17:12] <IdleOne> Edoreld: yes?!
[17:12] <Wisteso> of course you can dual boot with vista
[17:12] <Detox_at_Work> no problems with grub?
[17:12] <Detox_at_Work> jsut let the isntall run?
[17:12] <Achoth> But why would you want to dual boot with Vista? :p
[17:12] <MasterShrek> Detox_at_Work, you may need to add a grub entry after the install
[17:12] <Achoth> It does work
[17:12] <Hex_101> lol Achoth
[17:12] <Edoreld> If I install Ubuntu in my main harddrive, can I later make a partition to install windows XP on it, or do I have to make the partitions first thing?
[17:12] <Detox_at_Work> cause i ahve to use vista,, is work laptop
[17:13] <Wisteso> usually you have to install the M$ product first since it installs it's own boot crap
[17:13] <Detox_at_Work> Master.. grub endry to point to ovista?
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> Edoreld its best to partion, install windows on the first part of the HD. and Linux on the 2nd part
[17:13] <gnomefreak> Edoreld, if possible you want to install windows first and ubuntu 2nd
[17:13] <Edoreld> why windows 1st?
[17:13] <MasterShrek> Edoreld, i would suggest if you plan on installing windows, do it first, otherwise you have to go through a workaround to get grub back
[17:13] <kakoonia> Edoreld: you better instal windows before you install ubuntu, that way the grub(boot menu list wont disapear)
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> !grub
[17:13] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[17:13] <Hex_101> windows doesnt play well with others..
[17:13] <MasterShrek> Edoreld, windows will take over your mbr
[17:13] <Edoreld> ooh
[17:13] <Edoreld> that sucks
[17:13] <Edoreld> what's mbr?
[17:13] <Edoreld> y:P
[17:13]  * MasterShrek ---- back in a flash....
[17:13] <kakoonia> Edoreld: though you can install the grub menu after, but just why would you?
[17:14] <silviu> master boot record
[17:14] <Edoreld> right
[17:14] <Edoreld> aah i see
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> of course no one Complains about that.. but if  Ubuntu did that.. thee would be all sorts of people ranting about it.
[17:14] <Hex_101> mbr..like what your computer looks at to boot from
[17:14] <Sou1> does anyone know how to remap the "music" folder?
[17:14] <Edoreld> so if i wanted both O.S i'd be better to install xp first, right?
[17:14] <gnomefreak> Edoreld, yes
[17:14] <Edoreld> Gnomefreak, thx :P
[17:14] <gnomefreak> Edoreld, windows will wipe mbr and not care if another os is installed
[17:14] <gnomefreak> Edoreld, np
[17:14] <Edoreld> Hmm this raises another question
[17:15] <illusion-1> hello
[17:15] <Edoreld> If i install Ubuntu first, and then i wanna install xp, can i just uninstall ubuntu, and install windows xp then reinstall ubuntu ?
[17:15] <Edoreld> would that work?
[17:15] <Hex_101> yea..
[17:15] <Detox_at_Work> yup
[17:15] <kakoonia> Edoreld: hehehehe ye.. but that looks a bit messy
[17:15] <Edoreld> hehe yeah i knmow :P
[17:15] <Hex_101> there are applications you can get for windows, so you make your own mbr
[17:15] <gnomefreak> Edoreld, if you wish but ther eis a guide on how to recover mbr after win install
[17:15] <IdleOne> Edoreld: if you do it ubuntu the windows you will need to fix Grub after words
[17:15] <Hex_101> that what i have on this laptop
[17:16] <Edoreld> ahrgh
[17:16] <gnomefreak> !grub | Edoreld

[17:16] <Edoreld> ill just install ubuntu i think hehe
[17:16] <Achoth> Actually, you CAN install Ubuntu before Windows, you just have to run a few commands in the Ubuntu LiveCD. Of course, it's way smoother to install Windows first, but it is possible to install Ubuntu if you must
[17:16] <Edoreld> no im just a beginner
[17:16] <Edoreld> ill do install xp first if i want :P
[17:16] <gnomefreak> Edoreld, its just easier to install win first ubuntu 2nd but in what ubotu gave you is a way to recover mbr
[17:16] <IdleOne> Edoreld: that is why they are telling you to install windows first then install ubuntu. to save you the aggrevation
[17:16] <Edoreld> hehe k thx :)
[17:17] <Edoreld> Hmm btw, i just downloaded the Ubuntu.iso from home page, do i need to burn a cd for it or something?
[17:17] <Hex_101> yea
[17:17] <illusion-1> hi i have problem in ubuntu 7.10 the command arch not found
[17:17] <Edoreld> aah k thx

[17:19] <toxicfume> hi all
[17:20] <toxicfume> i downloaded an xvid video and totem asked to update some package, which i did, but after that it only played the sound and there was no video, which package am i supposed to download to get this to work?
[17:20] <jonasj> toxicfume: try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:20] <Laser88> Hi!
[17:21] <toxicfume> jonasj: how do i do that?
[17:21] <jonasj> toxicfume: but... if you close the video player and open it again, does it just start playing, or does it prompt you again to install codecs?
[17:21] <Hex_101> toxicfume: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:21] <Hex_101> i think
[17:21] <jonasj> and by open it again i mean redoubleclick your video file
[17:21] <jonasj> that's right, hex_101... or you can get it from add/remove
[17:22] <Edoreld> I'm looking for a good video/audio player for ubuntu, can u recommend one?
[17:22] <Radio1> vlc
[17:22] <jonasj> Edoreld: totem or vlc are good for video
[17:22] <Edoreld> aah works on ubuntu nice
[17:22] <gnomefreak> Edoreld, totem, mplayer, vlc
[17:22] <Edoreld> all of those got playlist?
[17:22] <CHaiNS> vlc
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> i use vlc under windows even. :)
[17:22] <Dauerbaustelle> Hi, is there anyone out who knows about abiword? I've got a little confusing problem: the scrolling is very, very slow, and the whole abiword-application is much slower than OpenOffice.org. People from the official Abiword-IRC couldn't help me yet, so maybe there's someone out who knows about this problem.
[17:22] <Edoreld> vlc has playlist?
[17:22] <jonasj> Edoreld: yeah, it does
[17:23] <Edoreld> jonasj: nice ;)
[17:23] <jonasj> Edoreld: but it's easier to get to the playlist in totem
[17:23]  * Edoreld slaps jonasj around a bit with a large trout
[17:23] <Edoreld> ok
[17:23] <jonasj> hey, don't do that, i'm allergic to fish
[17:23] <Radio1> Works good for mozilla plugins too.
[17:23] <Edoreld> :P
[17:23] <jonasj> *cough*
[17:23] <IdleOne> Edoreld: enough with the fish
[17:23] <Edoreld> how u do that thing
[17:23] <Edoreld> Edoreld:
[17:24] <Hex_101> start to type the name, nd press tab
[17:24] <Edoreld> aah kwl thx
[17:24] <DrChirs> I'm using a Zonet ZEW2500P wireless modem on a recently installed ubuntu box.  It's detected, but unable to connect to my wireless network.  A toshiba satellite running ubuntu works fine.  Can anybody suggest what my problem might be?
[17:24] <Edoreld> Hex_101
[17:24] <Hex_101> =]
[17:24] <Edoreld> DrChirs no idea :P
[17:24] <DrChirs> Edoreld: can you tell me how to diagnose the problem then?
[17:25] <Edoreld> DrChirs i bet someone can, but im a beginner :P
[17:25] <kakoonia> what screen type should i choose if im on a laptop(lenovo) PnP?
[17:25] <IdleOne> Edoreld: better to not respond when you dont know the answer or you will be spending alot of time telling people you have no idea
[17:25] <Hex_101> lol
[17:25] <Edoreld> IdleOne was just trying targetting thing sorry :P
[17:25] <IdleOne> Edoreld: np
[17:25] <Dauerbaustelle> Sorry! Is there anyone out who knows about Abiword?!
[17:25] <PriceChild> !anyone | Dauerbaustelle
[17:25] <ubotu> Dauerbaustelle: 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?
[17:26] <toxicfume> jonasj: it just starts playing and it says that an MPEG4 decoder is not installed, doesn't ask me to download it though...what do i do??
[17:26] <UltraMagnus> #abiword?
[17:26] <IdleOne> Edoreld: we try to keep this channel focused on support if you wish to test things you can /join #ubuntu-bots or /join #edoreld
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> Abiword - whats to know.  :) its a nice light Word Processor.
[17:26] <Edoreld> IdleOne k
[17:26] <bullgard4> English help wanted. What does 'on the fly' mean in "Clock scaling allows you to change the clock speed of the CPUs on the fly.
[17:26] <jonasj> toxicfume: open applications | add/remove and search for and install ubuntu restricted extras
[17:26] <Hex_101> while its in use
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4 ' as it runs, in real time, while its in use'
[17:27] <kakoonia> someone who uses laptop(lenovo maybe) can help me out by telling me what screen type should i choose at the screen options? (my screen doesnt stop flickering)
[17:27] <Hex_101> doing website upgrades 'on the fly' means you can upgrade, while its still in use
[17:27] <Dauerbaustelle> UltraMagus: They didn't know either at #Abiword so I thought here could be someone who knows bout the scrolling problem
[17:27] <PriceChild> bullgard4, it means that your processor clocks down in speed to save power... then when you do a cpu heavy task it increases speed.
[17:27] <PriceChild> bullgard4, and this happens constantly.
[17:27] <Laser88> bullgard4: Während das Programm läuft

[17:28] <Laser88> PriceChild: Sry, bullgard4 wanted a translation and I know he's German
[17:28] <jonasj> PriceChild, i think bullgard was just translating "on the fly" for someone
[17:28] <kakoonia> ohh my..
[17:28] <kakoonia> guess not.
[17:28] <Edoreld> I have an ADSL connection set up in my home. 2 PCs connected to a hub, and the hub to a router. What would I have to do in order to get my portatil MAC to share this connection? (Wirelessly)
[17:28] <PuppiesAtWork> How long should resizing a partition take in gPartition?
[17:28] <jonasj> PuppiesAtWork: it can take from a few seconds to several hours
[17:29] <gnomefreak> PuppiesAtWork, depends on alot of things
[17:29] <web_knows> does anyone know an enhanced notes applet for gnome? that sticky notes is too 'poor'
[17:29] <Dauerbaustelle> Sorry, I didnt use IRC that often...so my whole abiword-application is that slow! Even much slower than OpenOffice.org. Scrolling is horrible!
[17:29] <mindframe-> how do i configure apt to use a socks5 proxy?
[17:29] <PuppiesAtWork> It's relatively small
[17:29] <jonasj> web_knows: tomboy ?
[17:29] <PuppiesAtWork> It's a HFS+ partition, resizing from 69GB to 59
[17:29] <jonasj> web_knows: it's preinstalled... applications|accessories|tomboy
[17:29] <web_knows> jonasj, will take a look
[17:29] <t3318> hi
[17:29] <bullgard4> Dr_Willis, PriceChild, Laser88: Thank you very much.
[17:29] <toxicfume> jonasj: okay thanks :)
[17:29] <t3318> i have a large scale network
[17:29] <web_knows> jonasj, cool, thanks
[17:29] <Edoreld> I have an ADSL connection set up in my home. 2 PCs connected to a hub, and the hub to a router. What would I have to do in order to get my portatil MAC to share this connection? (Wirelessly)
[17:29] <jonasj> toxicfume: did it help? does your video play now?
[17:29] <Dauerbaustelle> web_knows: why don't you use the real tomboy application?
[17:29] <t3318> about 700 users
[17:29] <PuppiesAtWork> I just wish there was some sort of status bar
[17:30] <t3318> can i use ubuntu server for large scale network?
[17:30] <rsk> yes
[17:30] <gnomefreak> t3yee
[17:30] <Dralid> I have two computers each behind a NAT trying to establish a connection with each other, both have dynamic addresses (DCHP). I know that there are some site that act as a middleman for establishing these types of connections, but cannot remember their names. Anyone here know?
[17:30] <jonasj> t3318: what specifically do you want to use it for? but yes, you can
[17:30] <toxicfume> jonasj: i'm still downloading it, i'll try again and let u know as soon as it's done
[17:30] <gnomefreak> t3318, yes
[17:30] <t3318> ubuntu server and red hat /cent os, what's different?
[17:30] <t3318> about 700 users
[17:30] <PuppiesAtWork> is there any way I can see what gParted's partition resizing is doing in verbose mode?
[17:30] <web_knows> Dauerbaustelle, will take a look, thx
[17:31] <Pici> Dralid: Try #networking if you dont get a reponse here.
[17:31] <PriceChild> !ot | t3318
[17:31] <ubotu> t3318: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[17:31] <jonasj> PuppiesAtWork: at least, once you've started the resizing process, DO NOT INTERRUPT IT before it's done or you might lose your data
[17:31] <Dauerbaustelle> join #ubuntu-de
[17:31] <jonasj> t3318: too many differences to explain quickly here
[17:31] <PuppiesAtWork> jonasj: I just wish there was a way to see if this was stuck
[17:32] <Edoreld> do i have to leave this channel to join another?
[17:32] <t3318> i think this is a support problem
[17:32] <xplatinum> Is there a way to stop mounted drives to automatically appear on desktop ? I use the mount applet and I'd like to just use that.
[17:32] <DShepherd> Edoreld, no
[17:32] <jonasj> PuppiesAtWork: can you hear any disk activity or something?
[17:32] <Hex_101> Edoreld: no
[17:32] <Edoreld> DShepherd how do i join another then without leaving?
[17:32] <t3318> i'm confused choosing servers for my network
[17:32] <jonasj> PuppiesAtWork: i've been in that situaton... best thing to do is to wait and wait
[17:32] <hacked_kernel> Whats is the hard disk load cycle? and why ubuntu is doing it frequently?
[17:32] <Hex_101> Edoreld: /join #roomname
[17:32] <Edoreld> Hex_101 thx
[17:32] <jonasj> t3318: what purpose are the servers for?
[17:32] <t3318> i'm afraid that with large scale network, ubuntu may have problems
[17:33] <Hex_101> t3318: what do you want the servers to do
[17:33] <PuppiesAtWork> I am getting kind of nervous
[17:33] <t3318> servers are for all common purposes
[17:33] <toxicfume> jonasj: thanks a lot man, it worked right away! :D that package should be suggested to installed right at the first login of ubuntu after restarting ;)
[17:33] <t3318> dhcp, dns, mail, firewall, file servers ...
[17:33] <t3318> domain controllers ...
[17:33] <jonasj> toxicfume: yeah, it also installs flash, java and other stuff.
[17:33] <PriceChild> !best | t3318
[17:33] <ubotu> t3318: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[17:33] <RoNeXt> woah i
[17:34] <t3318> ubotu: yes, i mean the OS
[17:34] <rpj8> Hey guys. I have to manually set my line type to autonegotiation: off and full duplex everytime I start up my computer (which is annoying) via ethtool. Is there anyway to expodite this process?

[17:34] <Vincent_> Hello, I'm a linux newbie, can anyone help me install a certain wifi package?
[17:34] <t3318> PriceChild: yes
[17:34] <PriceChild> t3318, make your own decision.
[17:35] <Hex_101> urg 7.04 to 7.10 upgrade did not work, failed to get a load of the files
[17:35] <PriceChild> Hex_101, try again
[17:35] <t3318> PriceChild: yes, but I want to know have anyone use ubuntu server for large scale network?
[17:35] <Hex_101> ..
[17:35] <gnomefreak> Hex_101, start it again
[17:35] <Hex_101> lol fine
[17:35] <PriceChild> t3318, make your own decision.
[17:35] <jonasj> t3318: yes, it is being used for networks bigger than yours...
[17:35] <t3318> I can't find anywhere
[17:35] <hacked_kernel> Whats is the hard disk load cycle? and why ubuntu is doing it frequently?
[17:35] <Seeker`> Does anyone have any idea why my pidign plugin settings are lost every time i restart it
[17:35] <t3318> jonasj: yup, really
[17:35] <jonasj> t3318: and commercial support is available from canonical ltd. if you need it
[17:36] <t3318> jonasj: can you give me some details?
[17:36] <Edoreld> Somebody know how can i make my Macintosh share the ADSL connection my 2 other PCs have?
[17:36] <t3318> jonasj: I want to make some references
[17:36] <jonasj> t3318: i don't have any, sorry, just what i heard
[17:36] <PriceChild> Edoreld, ask in a mac support channel
[17:37] <jonasj> can't help you
[17:37] <t3318> hic
[17:37] <t3318> thanks you, anyway
[17:37] <Edoreld> where's mac channels -.-?
[17:37] <xplatinum> How do I automatically mount my 4 NTFS drives on startup ?
[17:37] <Vincent_> is there a special ubuntu wifi channel?
[17:37] <zobf> Edoreld: How are your other two PCs connected?
[17:37] <TKay> Anyone know how to mount Bin-files without the Cue file? is it possible to use the "Mount"-command, with some options ti mount the file? anyone?
[17:37] <Laser88> xplatinum: u have to write them to the fstab
[17:37] <zobf> TKay: VLC plays .bin files.
[17:38] <blizzkid> Hi people, I installed vmware-server in Ubuntu Gutsy. Everytime is start my pc, I have to remove /etc/vmware/not_configured. I can reconfigure it as much as I want, but that file keeps coming back. Any solution?
[17:38] <xplatinum> Laser88: can you tell where to go to edit the fstab please ?
[17:38] <TKay> my bin-files is cd-image..
[17:38] <TKay> instead of ISO
[17:38] <zobf> Ah.
[17:38] <kakoonia> how do i switch through installed languages? (shortcut key)
[17:38] <jonasj> xplatinum: the file is /etc/fstab
[17:39] <Laser88> xplatinum: sudo texteditor /etc/fstab
[17:39] <kakoonia> on gutsy
[17:39] <jonasj> xplatinum: press alt-f2 and run: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[17:39] <jonasj> (if you're in gnome)
[17:39] <PuppiesAtWork> this si so retarded
[17:39] <TALNTID> hi all :)
[17:39] <PuppiesAtWork> i'm going to be waiting here forever
[17:39] <chazco> hi... anyone here able to help me fix a problem with the internet following installing 7.10? One page doesnt work (it starts to load, then goes very slowly and stalls, but no errors)... the page works on 7.04, on another PC with the same Firefox + Settings. All other webpages appear to work. Its not ipv6 (disabled it, no change)... :)
[17:39] <jonasj> kakoonia: you mean interface translations or keyboard layouts?
[17:40] <Vincent_> "Couldn't find package"........What am I doing wrong?
[17:40] <PuppiesAtWork> Is there any way I can see what this process is doing right now?
[17:40] <jonasj> Vincent_: what are you trying to do?
[17:40] <stroyan> PuppiesAtWork:  the strace command can show system calls made by an already running process.
[17:41] <kakoonia> jonasj: is there a shortcut key to switch through languages, by switching, i mean changing the language im writing in..
[17:41] <Vincent_> I'm trying to install an pcmcia wifi card
[17:41] <jonasj> kakoonia: both alt keys
[17:41] <jonasj> kakoonia: if you mean keyboard layout
[17:41] <kakoonia> k
[17:41] <PuppiesAtWork> stroyan: will not work
[17:41] <PuppiesAtWork> gparted does not have strace
[17:42] <stroyan> PuppiesAtWork:  strace is a separate command.  It is not part of gparted.
[17:42] <Vincent_> jonasj: the bcm43xx-fwcutter to be exact
[17:42] <jonasj> PuppiesAtWork: it's normal for resizing to take ages, but if you interrupt it you risk corrupting your filesystem
[17:42] <kakoonia> jonasj: i think so, but i doesnt work.. (like Alt+Shift in windows)
[17:42] <kakoonia> it
[17:42] <PuppiesAtWork> man, i have class in 45 minutes
[17:42] <PuppiesAtWork> this = bad
[17:43] <TALNTID> lame :)
[17:43] <jonasj> kakoonia: system>preferences>keyboard>layout options
[17:44] <kakoonia> jonasj: ok ok...  working fine!
[17:44] <jonasj> kakoonia: great!
[17:44] <kakoonia> jonasj: thanks again! (the 10000 time)
[17:44] <jonasj> kakoonia: again? did i help you with something yesterday?
[17:44] <SecondFloorStuff> Hello this is my first time here
[17:44] <kakoonia> lets make it 10001, i got ubuntu on a laptop(lenovo) what screen type should i use?
[17:44] <bruenig> !hi | SecondFloorStuff
[17:45] <ubotu> SecondFloorStuff: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[17:45] <gnomefreak> SecondFloorStuff, hi what can we do for you
[17:45] <Scunizi> VMWare server won't install because of a missing inetd or xinetd. Which one should I install on the Gutsy version?
[17:45] <jonasj> what do you mean by screen type?
[17:45] <kakoonia> jonasj: ye.. with third-party-sources... and some other things i dont remember now...
[17:45] <kakoonia> :)
[17:45] <jonasj> aah yeah
[17:45] <jomppa> hey, i just upgraded to gutsy, now my restricted-manager won't start, it fails like this: http://pastebin.com/d53b94400
[17:45] <mwest> Scunizi: either one's fine - so install whichever you prefer
[17:45] <TKay> How do I mount my cd-image-file, BIN, without the CUE-file...? bchunk needs the CUE..
[17:45] <SecondFloorStuff> I am brand new to ubuntu, and i have never used internet messenger or Pidgin. I am taking an online course and we are supposed to learn about this feature
[17:46] <jonasj> what do you mean by screen type, kakoonia?
[17:46] <mwest> Scunizi: I uased inetd, works fine on Gutsy with VMware
[17:46] <Scunizi> mwest  thanks.. is there any conflict or performance difference between the two?
[17:46] <Brun_male> hi
[17:46] <blizzkid> Hi people, I installed vmware-server in Ubuntu Gutsy. Everytime is start my pc, I have to remove /etc/vmware/not_configured. I can reconfigure it as much as I want, but that file keeps coming back. Any solution?
[17:46] <jonasj> SecondFloorStuff: do you have an account on any sort of messenging network? jabber/msn/aim...?
[17:46] <mwest> Scunizi: not that I'm aware of - and certainly nothing noticable if all you're using them for is the vmware console
[17:47] <kakoonia> jonasj: theres an option at "screen resulution" to define what kind of screen do i use, and the option it detects is PnP, but my monitor wont stop flickering...
[17:47] <jonasj> SecondFloorStuff: if you don't, create a jabber account
[17:47] <Scunizi> mwest.. cool.. I appriciate it.
[17:47] <jonasj> SecondFloorStuff: if you have a gmail account, you also have a jabber account
[17:47] <hery>  anyone know who decides on ubuntu code names?
[17:47] <NNTB> i do
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> hery bill gates. :)
[17:47] <Brun_male> hi every1....i know that this is not the right canal to ask....But is any1 of u able to tell me where can i find a chat server for joomla?
[17:47] <SecondFloorStuff> I just opened an account at yahoo where I have several egroups and use my yahoo for a web portal
[17:47] <hery> i just don't feel right letting my kids use something named "Hardy Heron"
[17:48] <hiberi> hi, i just upgraded to Gutsy and now my usb keyboard doesn't work anymore. It does work however in recovery mode. Anyone knows what to do?
[17:48] <jonasj> kakoonia: i don't know
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> hery and why is that? 'a sturdy bird'  is dirty?
[17:48] <hery> it could make them kinda... off...
[17:48] <kakoonia> ל
[17:48] <kakoonia> k
[17:48] <NNTB> there needs to be more SEX in ubuntu... sex sells
[17:48] <Scunizi> mwest, is the program/deamon actually called inetutils-inetd?
[17:48] <NNTB> >.>
[17:48] <hery> Hery Hardon is just too much...
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> Vs the Breezy Badger, or Warty warthog, or  Edgy Eft.
[17:48] <hery> i mean c'mon guys... at least try to be subtle
[17:49] <zobf> NNTB: And Ubuntu is free. Go figure.
[17:49] <jonasj> hery: it's not called hardy heron, but ubuntu 8.04
[17:49] <NNTB> ideas
[17:49] <Dr_Willis> subtle about what? I dont see anything sexual in the term Hardy Heron.
[17:49] <NNTB> not figertivly
[17:49] <PuppiesAtWork> SWEET!!!
[17:49] <PuppiesAtWork> It moved!
[17:49] <jonasj> hery: Hardy Heron is just a code name -- like how Windows Vista is codenamed "Longhorn"... is that really better?
[17:49] <DShepherd> PuppiesAtWork, lol
[17:49] <jonasj> would you rather your kids use that? :)
[17:49] <DShepherd> PuppiesAtWork, how big is your drive?
[17:49] <MattJ> hery: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames
[17:49] <sisplau> new ati driver 8.42.3 for linux works great!
[17:49] <hery> longhorn is a little phallic...
[17:49]  * zobf has a Longhorn.
[17:49] <NNTB> i would rather play with a vista then turn on a long horn
[17:50] <spiderfire> is totem the best for videos?
[17:50] <DShepherd> !best
[17:50] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[17:50] <zobf> spiderfire: mplayer is generally considered the weapon of choice, but it depends what you want to play.
[17:50] <jomppa> hey, i just upgraded to gutsy, now my restricted-manager won't start, it fails like this: http://pastebin.com/d53b94400
[17:50] <MattJ> spiderfire: I prefer VLC, everyone has their own preference :)
[17:50] <xplatinum> jonasj: I just opened the fstab but it looks mighty complicated... there's no GUI to automount ? I don't understand anything from whats written in there :S
[17:51] <spiderfire> i mean for web videos and streams as well
[17:51] <NNTB> ill have to repartition my hdd again lol
[17:51] <NNTB> make room for 7.10
[17:51] <zobf> spiderfire: Just try them out and pick your favourite.
[17:51] <NNTB> right now i have 3 boots
[17:51] <NNTB> xp sp2
[17:51] <NNTB> vista
[17:51] <NNTB> and mac osx tiger
[17:51] <zobf> NNTB: Have you got three feet to put them on? ;-)
[17:51] <Vincent_> Oh wise ones, I salute you, Is there anyone of you who can help me install a wifi-nic?

[17:54] <jacob> hi u'all . just a quick question if anyone knows. - i have a TEW-424UB wireless card. I got it running with ndiswrapper. But all i wuold like to ask is if i have to install "WPA supplicant" to get it running on a WPA encypted network?! It says it supports WPA network on the box ... But i hav'nt testet it yet... any one knows?
[17:54] <xplatinum> jonasj: i give the link in private ?
[17:54] <jonasj> jacob: wpa should work out of the box...
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> xplatinum the fstab file is read at boot time. and it defines what gets mounted where. Theres also a 'auto mounting' system that takes care of removeable media
[17:55] <ropiku> Anybody knows if TimeVault works on a samba share ?

[17:55] <Dralid> My friend is trying to access my VNC server from over the internet. Both of us are behind a NAT, and the routers get a DCHP addr. What's the easiest way to connect to my computer weekly?
[17:55] <wraund> #gentoo-chat is on about women and linux ^-^
[17:55] <zeroflag> how can I make sure that the headers in /usr/src/linux match my kernel's version?

[17:56] <mrsno> Dralid forward the port for vnc to the local ip, on each machine (if you require vnc both ways)
[17:56] <mrsno> i might suggest using some form of encryption if you plan to access vnc over the internet
[17:56] <mrsno> the ubuntu wiki has steps on how to achieve this
[17:56] <Dr_Willis> a SSH tunnle for vnc - would be a good idea

[18:01] <onexused> I'm using OpenOffice 2.3.  I open the master slide view and change to master slide to look how I want it to.  I create a second master slide (I want half my slides to look one way, half the other), and attempt to change the color of the text.  The title changes fine, but selecting the other text and trying to change it, changes the first slide's text instead!  How can I get the second slide's text to change instead?

[18:02] <profanephobia> Dr_Willis, I'm trying to restore ubuntu after a superblock went corrupt... I copied all the files from the / partition and formatted the partition as ext3, then i pasted the files back in. this didnt work so i reinstalled grub and the kernel... it still doesnt work do you think you can help me fix ubuntu without having to reinstall?
[18:02] <Laser88> dragon33: unrar :-)
[18:02] <ptn107> zeroflag: doesnt installing linux-headers-generic automatically install the headers for your version?
[18:02] <xplatinum> Is there a program that can work with RAR volumes ? can file-roller do it with the proper "plugin" ?
[18:02] <dragon33> hehe thanks :-)
[18:02] <onexused> dragon33: there should be one on rarlabs.com for linux
[18:03] <F00GY> when i select start the installation show me black screen and nothing else
[18:03] <dragon33> thanks guys
[18:03] <xplatinum> one with a GUI hehe
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> protonchris 'pasted?' what files eere you pasting?  if you copied / wrongly, you messed up all sorts of links and stuff
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> protonchris you dident use some GUI drag/drop filemanager did you?
[18:03] <Laser88> xplatinum: get unrar and fileroller can
[18:03] <leo_away> dragon33: in the repos there's unrar free and non free. pick the one you like
[18:03] <profanephobia> Dr_Willis, no i used gparted to copy the filesystem
[18:03] <xplatinum> Laser88: both combined ? just install unrar and file roller will do the rest ?
[18:04] <xplatinum> jonasj: got the fixed mount output ?
[18:04] <Gnea> I'm about to take this WinTV 350 card and throw it out the window :)

[18:04] <profanephobia> Dr_Willis, im typing out the error i get at boot into pastebin right now if youd like to see
[18:04] <toxicfume> hi all
[18:04] <jonasj> xplatinum: just install the "unrar" package, and you can work with rars graphically
[18:05] <xplatinum> just searched for unrar in synaptic -- will unrar-free work the same as unrar ?
[18:05] <toxicfume> hi all again
[18:05] <leo_away> xplatinum: i'm using the free one and didn't see any difference yet
[18:05] <toxicfume> how do i configure compiz? i dont seea control panel for compiz anywhere..
[18:05] <xplatinum> unrar will use its own GUI or will it work in conjunction with file-roller or archive manager
[18:05] <jonasj> xplatinum, leo_away: unrar-free doesn't support newer format rar archives
[18:05] <Laser88> unrar-free ain't able to handle rar-files 3rd generation or something like that
[18:06] <Gnea> it doesn't work at all on this system... anytime i try to tune a radio channel i get no sound... anytime i try to get video from /dev/video*, there's nothing... i've made sure the ivtv stuff is installed and that permissions are set right... it's fiesty so it should work by default...
[18:06] <ochosi> hi, for some reason emerald doesn't show up in my package manager, i'm running gutsy with all repos (incl. multiverse, universe, restricted) enabled. shouldn't it be there?
[18:06] <xplatinum> with the nonfree will i get registration messages and the likes ? or i wont notice anything
[18:06] <leo_away> jonasj: thank you, i barely use rar files. it worked with all the files i threw at it so far, tho. hehe
[18:06] <Gnea> so nobody here has experience using a wintv card in ubuntu.... that's funny
[18:07] <Laser88> xplatinum: nonfree just means closed source
[18:07] <xplatinum> kk thx
[18:07] <jonasj> xplatinum: just install "unrar", it won't bug you, it's free-as-in-cost to use and redistribute, the unfree refers to software freedom
[18:07] <jonasj> xplatinum:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43429/
[18:07] <profanephobia> Dr_Willis, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43430/
[18:07] <jonasj> xplatinum: try replacing your fstab with what is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43429/
[18:08] <jonasj> xplatinum: then reboot and see if your ntfs volumes are mounted automatically
[18:08] <Gnea> !wintv

[18:08] <Laser88> xplatinum: what version of Ubuntu? Just to know if you have to mount with ntfs-3g
[18:08] <ochosi> stroyan: hm. strange. i didn't do any manual changes to my software sources. it's the same since i upgraded
[18:09] <jonasj> toxicfume: install "advanced desktop effects settings" from add/remove
[18:09] <ochosi> stroyan: anyway, how could i check whether it's "complete"?
[18:09] <jonasj> toxicfume: or package compizconfig-settings-manager
[18:10] <xplatinum> Laser88: 7.10
[18:10] <stroyan> ochosi:  You could browse the http URL listed in /etc/apt/sources.list.
[18:10] <xplatinum> jonasj: will try that. and in the future if I want to temp-remove the automount I just put # in front of the extra lines you gave me right ?
[18:10] <Laser88> ok, then it fits, xplatinum
[18:10] <markrian> Can evo 2.12 search through custom headers? I don't see an option do so in the drop-down in Advanced Search

[18:10] <Laser88> xplatinum: right
[18:11] <jonasj> xplatinum: yeah
[18:11] <xplatinum> ok ty brb

[18:20] <ochosi> stroyan:Package emerald is not available, but is referred to by another package.

[18:25] <leo_away> PuppiesAtWork: you mean the live cd?
[18:25] <Pici> PuppiesAtWork: The LiveCD? Because its intended as a sort of test drive. There should be an icon on the desktop to Install.
[18:25] <Norrel> PuppiesAtWork: you have the regural installer, it's also live-cd. You can install the system by clickin the Install icon

[18:25] <darkspirit> PuppiesAtWork: Beacuse it's a Live CD, to install you have a icon in the desktop.
[18:25] <Jimb> Bcause it is livecd
[18:25] <PuppiesAtWork> I know, but isn't that kind of misleading?
[18:26] <Pici> PuppiesAtWork: Er, No.
[18:26] <PuppiesAtWork> Is there just a standard, graphical Install CD?

[18:26] <sethk> PuppiesAtWork, no, it's a dual purpose cd

[18:34] <xplatinum> jonasj: yup it worked very well thank you !
[18:34] <gnomefreak> hd420: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:34] <jonasj> xplatinum, they're all mounted on startup and everything works?
[18:34] <hd420> what am I looking for?
[18:35] <jonasj> xplatinum: just check to see that you can still write to the ntfs volumes still
[18:35] <jonasj> can you?
[18:35] <xplatinum> jonasj: kk hang on
[18:35] <gnomefreak> hd420: what are you trying to do?
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> albech that is how you set the path. Now for the current shell and any spawned processes
[18:35] <sethk> hd420, the kernel command line
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> albech that does not permenetly change your PATH however.
[18:35] <hd420> gnomefreak: redefine the root partition
[18:35] <sethk> hd420, with either a missing root= or an incorrect root=
[18:35] <hd420> what should it be?
[18:36] <gnomefreak> hd420: kernel line for partition near the bottom 50 lines of file (give or take)
[18:36] <sethk> hd420, you said either /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1.  I can't look at your hardware.  :)
[18:36] <sethk> hd420, you can change the root specification at the grub prompt
[18:36] <hd420> how?
[18:36] <sethk> hd420, which might be more productive, because when it works, you'll know you have the right parameter
[18:36] <xplatinum> jonasj: yup works very well
[18:37] <jonasj> xplatinum: excellent
[18:37] <sethk> hd420, type help at the grub prompt.  that will show you and also stop the timer for the automatic boot
[18:37] <xplatinum> gotta go get ready for work now. Thanks alot for your help and patience
[18:37] <Goosemoose> can anyone tell me why my ubuntu machine can ping others on the domain using 'ping computer' but not 'ping computer.domain.local' ?
[18:37] <Goosemoose> usually it's the other way around
[18:37] <jonasj> im glad it worked
[18:37] <hd420> root (hd0.0) is what I have right now
[18:37] <sethk> hd420, dot, not comma?
[18:38] <hd420> sethk: sorry, comma
[18:38] <hd420> if i change it to sd0,0 it says "number parse error"
[18:38] <sethk> hd420, ok.  do you know which partition (0, 1, 2, 3, or an extended partition) is the root?
[18:38] <hd420> yes, it's 0
[18:39] <sethk> hd420, hold on a moment, I'll look at mine.
[18:39] <hd420> the kernel is /boot/memtest86+.bin is that right?
[18:39] <junior_> .
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> memtest is a special memory testing program/kernel thing. :)
[18:39] <macaco> Hello
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> not a normal kernel
[18:39] <sethk> hd420, no, not unless you want to run memtest86 instead of linux
[18:39] <macaco> dumb question
[18:39] <SpikePT> hi
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> macaco our faveorite kind! :)
[18:39] <sethk> macaco, so far, I have to agree  :)
[18:39] <macaco> how i know if my ubuntu have firewall activate
[18:39] <leo_away> macaco: expect a dumb answer... ;-)
[18:39] <hd420> that's what I figured
[18:40] <Dr_Willis> macaco there is none active by default
[18:40] <Dr_Willis> !firewall
[18:40] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[18:40] <sethk> hd420, it's normal to find memtest, but there should be other entries as well
[18:40] <`Cube> hey, while upgrading to 7.10 I get this error: "Failed to fetch http://falcon.landure.fr/dists/feisty/Release Unable to find expected entry  pidgin/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)" what should I do?
[18:40] <Dr_Willis> macaco if you think there is one enabled the command 'sudo iptables --list'   should show some 'rules'
[18:40] <hd420> there's "Ubuntu 7.10, memtest86+"
[18:40] <hd420> that's all
[18:40] <`Cube> hey, while upgrading to 7.10 I get this error: "Failed to fetch http://falcon.landure.fr/dists/feisty/Release Unable to find expected entry  pidgin/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)" what should I do?
[18:40] <macaco> then why i can'r receive filre from my piding?
[18:41] <Pici> `Cube: Remove that entry from System>Administraion>Software Sources.
[18:41] <sethk> hd420, do you have any idea why this happened?
[18:41] <hd420> sethk: no,
[18:41] <Pici> `Cube: Its a third party repo that probably doesnt have gutsy packages.
[18:41] <gnomefreak> `Cube: falcon isnt in repos
[18:41] <`Cube> ok, thanks, I love your fast support
[18:41] <leo_away> macaco: what protocol?
[18:41] <gnomefreak> `Cube: thats seveas package from his repo
[18:41] <junior_> le.mlç,fg
[18:42] <junior_> fd
[18:42] <junior_> fd
[18:42] <junior_> fucjfd
[18:42] <junior_> f
[18:42] <sethk> hd420, you are going to have to construct a proper grub.conf, or enter the appropriate commands at the grub prompt, to get your system to boot.
[18:42] <me8myself> question, pretend for somereason the partioning of a harddrive using gpartion was closed down and now everything but gpartion says there is no partion (gpartion says it wont touch it with a 40 foot stick) but you are clearly missing 20 gigs.. . how would one fix this?
[18:42] <hd420> sethk: If I did, I'd bloody fix it myself
[18:42] <junior_> aff mano
[18:42] <hd420> wtf are the "proper grub commands"?
[18:42] <macaco> my friend yahoo account send me files but i can't receive
[18:42] <hd420> sethk: you get me?
[18:43] <sethk> hd420, yes, but calm down, sometimes people may have seen something during the install that they didn't mention.
[18:43] <devilsadvocate> can someone help me get lm-sensors (or any hardware temp monitoring stuff) working? i've got an intel 975xbx2 and an e6600, as well as a nvidia 8500 gt, running ubuntu gutsy 64bit
[18:43] <hd420> I am calm
[18:43] <Creeco> Whats wrong with ubuntustudio.. it's just not the same anymore..
[18:43] <`Cube> what should I install first: normal updates (security updates) or the 7.10?????
[18:43] <hd420> if I weren't calm, I'd be typing in uppercase, mate
[18:43] <me8myself> lol
[18:43] <Laser88> devilsadvocate: first type sensors-detect
[18:43] <softwork> i have a problem, i have a pinnacle 110i and in gutsy i have picture but dont sound
[18:43] <Creeco> I tried it and it were awfully unstable, even gnome had major problems
[18:44] <me8myself> dont make me upercase you wont like me when i do!
[18:44] <devilsadvocate> `Cube, normal updates. Dont upgrade to the next version without being fully  updated
[18:44] <sethk> hd420, I can post my grub.conf for you on the paste site.  I'm running an earlier version, though, so my kernel name won't be exactly the same as yours, and of course you'll have to adjust the root and path and such
[18:44] <leo_away> macaco: i usually use senduit.com sometimes there are problems sending files through the messengers (they won't release the specs for that)
[18:44] <`Cube> ok, thanks a lot, almost made the other think
[18:44] <`Cube> *g
[18:44] <hd420> sure
[18:44] <hd420> sethk: that would be helpful, many thanks
[18:44] <me8myself> how can i fix an exstremly broken partion
[18:44] <devilsadvocate> thanks Laser88 , will try
[18:44] <Creeco> what's the best OS ubuntu or windows?
[18:44] <`Cube> where can I get pidgin 2.2.2 with MSN?
[18:44] <SpikePT> Is there any way I can make like... mp3 files open with a user defined program?
[18:45] <sethk> hd420, ok, I'll post mine, but if anyone here can post one for gutsy it will be easier to deal with.
[18:45] <`Cube> what answer do you expect on that chat, Creeco :P
[18:45] <`Cube> !sound
[18:45] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[18:45] <macaco> ok thanks xd
[18:45] <me8myself> cube: pigion normaly has msn
[18:45] <windyh> can someone tell me what command starts the networking utility that is found in the menu under System --> Administration --> Networking?
[18:45] <leo_away> Creeco: go troll somewhere else, please
[18:45] <sandaru1> Cube: you have to compile it with SSL
[18:45] <`Cube> ye but doesn't work forme
[18:45] <Creeco> I just wanted to check if you were serious or not..
[18:45] <`Cube> exactly, that SSL thing
[18:45] <jonasj> windyh: network-admin
[18:45] <`Cube> is there any pre-compiled version?
[18:46] <sandaru1> Cube: not atm
[18:46] <Creeco> That's enough answer for me..
[18:46] <SpikyPT> Hi, Is there any way I can define a program to ope a certain file when i click on that file? Like, mp3 files to open with a defined program.
[18:46] <`Cube> ok thanks
[18:46] <windyh> thanks, jonasj
[18:46] <`Cube> where can I read how to exactly compile it with SSL?
[18:46] <Chriswaterguy> how do I burn a data CD in 7.04 and its not working. I'm in Xubuntu, and xfburn is making coasters. So i installed gcdmaster, and turns out it doesn't do data CDs. I have nautilus and installed nautilus-cd-burner, but how do I run it? (command line doesn't work)
[18:46] <Pici> SpikyPT: Right click on file, Properties, I believe its the last tab.
[18:46] <sethk> hd420, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43436/
[18:46] <jonasj> windyh: and you know how i know that? when i did system->adminisrtiation->networking, the password prompt said "network-admin will let you modify essential parts of your system" :)
[18:46] <SpikyPT> Pici: Thanks
[18:47] <Jupp2> how can I create a launcher that will prompt me for root access? I want to run a program as root...
[18:47] <me8myself> hi i have really $%^&ed up my hardrive with a partion that whent horbly wrong, can i get some help?
[18:47] <PriceChild> Jupp2, what program? :/
[18:48] <sethk> me8myself, we can try, but we'll need more information than that
[18:48] <sandaru1> `Cube: install these two packages libnss-dev libnspr-dev
[18:48] <jonasj> Jupp2: but gksudo in front of the command
[18:48] <new2Ubuntu> How can I see what all programs are downloading data in Ubuntu. My modem seems to be receving alot of data but the web pages are barely moving . I dont have any installs running either or downloads
[18:48] <`Cube> thanks sandaru1
[18:48] <sethk> new2Ubuntu, netstat will show you active connections.  with sudo and -p, it will show you which programs own those connections
[18:48] <Jupp2> jonasj, thanks!
[18:48] <devilsadvocate> Laser88, once i do that do i need to reboot to get the modules to load, or is there some way to do it directly?
[18:49] <hd420> hda1 should be (hd0,1)?
[18:49] <new2Ubuntu> ty sethk
[18:49] <sandaru1> `Cube: you can also use libgnutls13-dev with ./configure --enable-gnutls
[18:49] <Laser88> devilsadvocate: mom
[18:49] <hd420> or rather sda1
[18:49] <`Cube> what's the difference?
[18:49] <sethk> hd420, grub is 0 based, so hda1 is (hd0,0), hda2 is (hd0,1), etc.
[18:49] <windyh> sda1 would be hd0,0 assuming you don't have any ide hard drives
[18:49] <me8myself> sethk: i used gpartion to make a partion but i for one reason or another closed it down and did a hard reboot while it was partioning, now nothing in windows says its there but i am missing 22 gigs of storag space. also gpartion says there is something horbly wrong with the hardrive and will not do anything to help
[18:49] <sethk> hd420, same for sda, sda1 is (sda0,0), sda2 is (sda0,1)
[18:50] <sandaru1> `Cube: difference libraries for SSL handling
[18:50] <`Cube> sorry for logging off
[18:50] <`Cube> ah ok
[18:50] <`Cube> next question, where can I check the exact name of my sound card?
[18:50] <sandaru1> `Cube: i guess it's lspci
[18:50] <sethk> me8myself, if you know the starting and ending cylinders and the partition type, you can use a simpler partitioning program to restore the partition
[18:51] <hd420> sethk: sd0 and sda0 give me an error while parsing number
[18:51] <`Cube> ok, and what to do if my sound card is not supported because it's too new?
[18:51] <`Cube> *to
[18:51] <sethk> me8myself, if the entire disk was used, and one partition was deleted, then you can figure out those numbers by looking at the other partitions
[18:51] <sethk> hd420, sda0 isn't supposed to work.  (sd0,0) should work.  If not, then sd0 may not be in the translation file
[18:51] <sethk> hd420, that file is /boot/grub/device.map
[18:52] <sandaru1> You'll have to wait :).. but generally ALSA supports almost everything
[18:52] <sethk> me8myself, boot the ubuntu cd.  use fdisk -l /dev/hda to print the partition table (that's assuming of course that we are talking about hda, ide primary master, adjust if necessary).
[18:53] <sethk> me8myself, then post the partition table on the paste site, and we'll see if we can recover the partition.
[18:53] <me8myself> sethk: k il try
[18:53] <sethk> hd420, dumb question, probably, but you are using zero, not upper case O?  sometimes mysterious errors turn out to be typos.
[18:54] <hd420> aye, it's figure 0 not letter O
[18:54] <`Cube> is there something better then TELLICO
[18:55] <Laser88> devilsadvocate: sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools
[18:55] <Laser88> tokk a while...
[18:55] <sethk> hd420, do you find sda in device.map?
[18:55] <Laser88> -k+o
[18:55] <Venut> How can I run ubuntu from my hardrive instead of a cd. Currently got XP installed, and I want to keep as my main os, but I want to run ubuntu without using the cd.
[18:55] <Lunar_Lamp> Hmm, I have disabled "right + left click emulates button3" so I can use button3 for other things, but that now means that I can't use R+L click to paste things - is it possible to still do this?
[18:55] <`Cube> is there something better than TELLICO, is there something more gnome-like like TELLICO and is there something like TELLICO for windows?
[18:55] <hd420> sethk: how do I look at device.map from the grub command line
[18:56] <sethk> hd420, I've seen this:    (hd1)   /dev/sda     which would mean that sda is referred to as hd1
[18:56] <devilsadvocate> hmm
[18:56] <sethk> hd420, I'm not sure that you can look at it from the grub prompt.  Probably but I've never done it.
[18:56] <sandaru1> Venut: run the live CD, click install on the desktop
[18:56] <sethk> hd420, try (hd1,0)   which can't hurt anything
[18:56] <devilsadvocate> awesome
[18:56] <devilsadvocate> thanks
[18:56] <devilsadvocate> :)
[18:56] <sts> hello folks!
[18:56] <Laser88> devilsadvocate: Sry forgot to say, you have to run sensors-detect as root
[18:56] <sts> i need help on downgrading my gutsy kernel to 2.6.20.
[18:57] <leo_away> hello sts
[18:57] <devilsadvocate> Laser88, the script told me that. :)
[18:57] <raybdbomb> anyone know how to setup thunderbird 2 with a local mail spool?

[18:58] <sandaru1> sts: or better to use synaptic
[18:58] <devilsadvocate> Laser88, yep. Im looking at my core tmep as we speak :)
[18:58] <sts> sandaru1: gutsy dosn't have 2.6.20 in its repositories.
[18:58] <leo_away> B4S3M: do you have java installed?
[18:58] <Laser88> devilsadvocate: excellent
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> B4S3M Clarify that question a bit.
[18:58] <DShepherd> B4S3M, javac to compile. java file.java to run. make sure you have java installed
[18:58] <leo_away> B4S3M: java -jar file.jar
[18:59] <B4S3M> leo_away: No :S
[18:59] <devilsadvocate> it loaded my nvidia moudle but the widget doesnt seem to find that sensor. I'll have to figure that out
[18:59] <DShepherd> B4S3M, oops. javac file.java to compile. java file to run
[18:59] <Pici> !java | B4S3M
[18:59] <ubotu> B4S3M: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[18:59] <raybdbomb> anyone know how to setup thunderbird 2 with a local mail spool?
[18:59] <theredmonkey> hi.
[18:59] <sts> sandaru1: actually i need to compile it on my own, since i want to apply openvz patches.
[19:00] <DShepherd> Pici, should that factoid about java say sun-java6?
[19:00] <sts> sandaru1: but patching failes on 2.6.22.
[19:00] <sts> s/failes/fails/
[19:00] <new2Ubuntu> has anyone here had isues with their onboard sound Realtek sound. I have a realtek 662 and cant get the Line in to work :( . Ran the process for installing alsa1.0.15 but it totally removed sound and  I had to reinstall.
[19:00] <leo_away> DShepherd: it is talking about community java and sun java
[19:00] <sandaru1> sts: ah.. i was looking at the repos.. btw, it's there
[19:00] <DShepherd> leo_away, yeah i noticed that :-)
[19:00] <sts> sandaru1: what?
[19:01] <sts> sandaru1: the kernel or the openvz patch for 2.6.22?
[19:01] <theredmonkey> @staff: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/CommunitySupport  you shoud replace GAIM with PIDGIN
[19:01] <leo_away> DShepherd: oh, you meant the version...
[19:01] <sandaru1> sts: the kernel
[19:01] <DShepherd> leo_away, yes
[19:01] <leo_away> DShepherd: nvm then, haha
[19:01] <theredmonkey> bye
[19:01] <DShepherd> leo_away, no problem

[19:02] <chetnick> does anyone got vmware bridged networking work in Gutsy????
[19:02] <sts> hm
[19:03] <sts> thanks, anyways guys.
[19:03] <sandaru1> sts: might be.. it's in my packages list :)
[19:03] <Chriswaterguy> when I try to run a cd burner i get an error message. e.g. nautilus-cd-burner from the command line gives: "Unable to prepare tracks for burning". any ideas? xfburn doesn't worth either - what can I use?
[19:03] <n33ku> Hi everybody
[19:03] <chetnick> does anyone got vmware bridged networking work in Gutsy????
[19:03] <n33ku> could I ask a question here?
[19:03] <leo_away> !repeat | chetnick
[19:03] <ubotu> chetnick: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[19:04] <leo_away> n33ku: this is a support channel, so yes
[19:04] <n33ku> leo_away thanks, but actually my question is a bit different!
[19:04] <n33ku> i need some statistics
[19:04] <iresprite> I'm getting "Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds...", even though my printer does appear to be connected and I can see it when I do lsusb.
[19:04] <n33ku> i want to know where people in this room are from
[19:04] <n33ku> and how many ladies are here
[19:04] <Pici> !offtopic | n33ku
[19:04] <ubotu> n33ku: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[19:05] <n33ku> for open source...
[19:05] <JasonOz> Hi Guys... anybody got experience with DTV drivers? I'm in Australia
[19:05] <Pici> n33ku: This is a support channel, not for doing surveys.
[19:05] <n33ku> Pici not off topic actually!
[19:05] <iresprite> I'm using the Z600 driver for the Lexmark printer (as recommended in the Ubuntu thread).
[19:05] <PriceChild> n33ku, ubuntu support only.
[19:05] <__hase> Is there a way to restore back to edgy after upgrading to 7.04?
[19:05] <n33ku> pici its not a survey
[19:05] <iresprite> And I'm seeing this in the error log: /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertoz600) stopped with status 127!
[19:05] <PriceChild> !downgrade | __hase
[19:05] <jonasj> n33ku: how about, all those willing to answer n33kus survey questions, join #n33ku ?
[19:06] <jodi2> hi guys
[19:06] <__hase> !downgrade
[19:06] <ubotu> __hase: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.
[19:06] <iresprite> Has anyone seen this?
[19:06] <__hase> Well, it won't work on 7.04 I can boot the computer up unless I manually select an older kernel
[19:06] <__hase> can't*
[19:07] <JasonOz> I'd love to switch to ubuntu full time but I can't get my USB tv tuner recognised, can anybody help?
[19:07] <ssugrim> hi
[19:07] <JasonOz> hi
[19:07] <soundray> JasonOz: which ubuntu version do you have?
[19:07] <ssugrim> Hows it going?
[19:08] <JasonOz> Hi Soundray, I've just installed Gutsy
[19:08] <jodi2> can anybody advise a list of implications that would happen if  i change the ip address of my server
[19:08] <ssugrim> oh me, I'm now running 7.10 :)
[19:08] <ssugrim> it makes me happy :)
[19:08] <SliMM> hello, how can i save a file as UTF 8 in gedit?
[19:08] <superpigs> i do -> nohup torify firefox > /dev/null &. but firefox wont start
[19:08] <soundray> JasonOz: and what chipset is built into your USB tuner?
[19:09] <jonasj> SliMM: in the save as box, you can choose encoding
[19:09] <maek> whats the max ram I can have/see in a 32 bit box?
[19:09] <SliMM> jonasj: no other way?
[19:09] <JasonOz> aha... its a videomate u300 - i'll google
[19:09] <soundray> maek: effectively about 3GB
[19:10] <superpigs> is there any1 in here that is not a total idiot n00b?
[19:10] <superpigs> sheesus
[19:10] <jonasj> SliMM: what do you want an other way for???
[19:10] <me8myself> sethk: i tried fdisk -1 /dev/hda but nothing showed up
[19:10] <sethk> me8myself, -l (lower case L)
[19:10] <SliMM> jonasj: to switch between encodings while still using ctrl+s
[19:11] <soundray> JasonOz: I've googled it, too. It seems to have a DiB chipset, which linuxtv supports reasonably well.
[19:11] <me8myself> sethk: ok lower case l gives me nothing eather
[19:11] <jonasj> SliMM: ctrl-shift-s
[19:11] <jonasj> SliMM: once its utf8 it remembers
[19:11] <sethk> me8myself, literally nothing?  No output, no errors?
[19:11] <mnemo> how do I install the "compiz benchmark" app which can be seen in this screenshot? --> http://www.phoronix.net/image.php?id=900&image=ati_radeon_desktop_lrg
[19:11] <me8myself> sethk: just the next cumand line thing
[19:11] <kothz> Stupid question of the day: I've got ubuntu 7.10 + compiz spinning a cube around, but is there a way to control the angle of the cube (like you see in all those happy compiz videos)?
[19:11] <maek> soundray: thanks. so Id need to go 64 bit to see 4gb ram?
[19:11] <JasonOz> that sounds great - thanks. I'm used to running an exe to get things installed. I'm new to ubuntu... do you know what I do to get it working?
[19:12] <chetnick> which package i need to install to have the custom option under system- preferences-appearance
[19:12] <sethk> me8myself, are your drives possibly not IDE?  SCSI or SATA, perhaps?
[19:12] <SliMM> jonasj: yes, yes, nevermind, thank you :-)
[19:12] <me8myself> il try
[19:12] <soundray> maek: ideally, yes
[19:13] <sethk> me8myself, try /dev/sda, see if anything good happens.  Also try hdb, hdc, and hdd
[19:13] <sethk> me8myself, /dev/hdb, /dev/hdc, /dev/hdd that is
[19:14] <raybdbomb> anyone know how to setup movemail with thunderbird 2
[19:14] <me8myself> sethk: /sda was the only one that cane back with any responce and it was that it cant open it
[19:14] <soundray> JasonOz: generally, if you want to seriously watch TV under Linux, it's best to use a dedicated distribution. But I've heard that it does work with Ubuntu reasonably well. You probably want to look into MythTV (user-friendly) and vdr (very powerful and extensible)
[19:15] <gran> is there any reason why compiz only works for me when im using just 1 monitor?
[19:15] <adelie> is there some weird trick to getting new fonts to show up in openoffice after they have been copied to /user/share/fonts?
[19:15] <maek> soundray: thanks. so then I get kind of "screwed" with firefox and such?
[19:15] <maek> is it feasible to run a 64bit desktop?
[19:15] <souped> thoughts on using ubuntu on a mac mini?
[19:15] <soundray> maek: no, it's not nearly as bad as it used to be now that gutsy is out.
[19:15] <adelie> maek havn't tried it in a log time, but the i386-32 distros have more supported applications in my experience
[19:16] <me8myself> sethk: /sda was the only one that cane back with any responce and it was that it cant open it
[19:16] <adelie> and work just as well
[19:16] <mr_marvin> i have lots of dirs on ntsf mounted folder in /media/win. the problem is how to set permissions for different users on pc, so that only some of them have access to particular files in /media/win?
[19:16] <maek> soundray: thanks for the hand holding.
[19:16] <maek> adelie: thats what I was thinking but I went and ordered 4gb of ram not thinking about 32/64
[19:16] <soundray> maek: my wife works on a 64bit laptop -- flash and java work with nspluginwrapper, only realplayer is a pain when rm files are embedded
[19:16] <sethk> me8myself, if you aren't root, then do:    sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
[19:16] <adelie> soundray really? I may need to switch then. I did notice it was a lot faster, just buggy / lack of application support before
[19:17] <josh_> zomg
[19:17] <maek> soundray: ill take a look at nspluginwrapper. thanks.
[19:17] <soundray> maek: take a look at the ubotu factoid -- I don't know how up to date it is, but it may give you an indication:
[19:17] <josh_> i just experienced a grub error 21
[19:17] <adelie> is there anything special that needs to be done to get new fonts in openiffice after they have been installed to /usr/share/fonts?
[19:17] <josh_> it was most excellent
[19:17] <soundray> !flash64 | maek, adelie
[19:17] <ubotu> maek, adelie: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[19:18] <soundray> adelie: a restart should do it.
[19:18] <JasonOz> soundray: thank you... I will check these out... but my ideal would be to get the tuner recognised on ubuntu as I would like to use the computer for other things. Do you know how I can install v4l?
[19:18] <BlkGhost> whats the command in the terminal to find out what dev name is on the newley formated HD ??
[19:19] <mnemo> how can I enabled the compiz "benchmark" plugin that shows FPS ??
[19:19] <adelie> soundray I thought only windows machines had to be restarted... :( I don't even reboot for kernel updates anymore
[19:19] <soundray> JasonOz: I don't think you have to. Can you run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and plug the stick in, then pastebin the output (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org)
[19:20] <me8myself> sethk: disk /dev/sda: 120.0 gb,<PHONE_NUMBER>76 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/tracks, 135953 cylinders units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes disk identifyer: 0x862c862c
[19:20] <soundray> adelie: I meant OpenOffice.org
[19:20] <mr_marvin> is it possible to set up permission on ntfs-founted folders?
[19:20] <adelie> i'll give it a try though...
[19:20] <adelie> oh, already tried that
[19:20] <sethk> me8myself, ok, that's the summary information.  Did it list any partitions?
[19:20] <soundray> adelie: how do you boot a new kernel without rebooting the machine? Virtualization?
[19:20] <soundray> adelie: did you follow the howto?
[19:21] <Cyrus25801> jrib: hi i am having trouble editing my grub could you help me
[19:21] <soundray> !fonts > adelie
[19:21] <adelie> no, there is some tool you can use I forget the name of
[19:21] <stroyan> mr_marvin:  I don't know if there is a really good way.  NTFS permissions control seems really limited.  You might be able to use mount with the bind option to make certain files or directories accessible under directories that particular users have access through.
[19:21] <JasonOz> soundray - will do - but what is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org??
[19:21] <me8myself> sethK: /dev/sda start 1 end 14592 blocks 117210208+ id 7 system hpfs/ntfs
[19:21] <me8myself> sethk: and thats all she wrote
[19:21] <soundray> !pastebin | JasonOz
[19:21] <ubotu> JasonOz: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[19:21] <JasonOz> (this is my first visit to this room, and irc for that matter!)
[19:22] <JasonOz> aha, understood
[19:22] <sethk> me8myself, has to be sda1, sda2, sda3, or sda4
[19:22] <me8myself> sda1
[19:22] <Super_Cat_Frog_> hi - im having problems with XV with nvidia (green screen) in gutsy - ive found things on google about it, but no solution
[19:22] <raybdbomb> thunderbird, movemail, anyone?
[19:23] <jamiejackson> i'm vpn'ed into work through networkmanager's cisco vpn plugin
[19:23] <mr_marvin> stroyan: so, i have to do it while mounting... thank you. off to google for mount & bind.
[19:23] <Whitor> Is anyone running their existing installation of vista in a vmware player window?
[19:23] <jamiejackson> but i'm not resolving my work's (private) machines
[19:23] <Whitor> on a sata hd?
[19:23] <BlkGhost> whats the command in the terminal to find out what dev name is on the newley formated HD ??
[19:24] <Cyrus25801> can someone help me with editing my grub
[19:24] <jamiejackson> how do i troubleshoot to use work's dns or wins, or whatever that is
[19:24] <me8myself> sethk: sda1
[19:24] <soundray> Cyrus25801: what are you trying to do?
[19:24] <stroyan> mr_marvin:  I see a posting at http://forum.ntfs-3g.org where "jpl" says he is working on file permissions for ntfs-3g.  He thinks it is a few months out.
[19:25] <sethk> me8myself, were there two partitions before you had the problem, or more than two?
[19:25] <axisys> how do I find the exact part number of my memory chip for hp nc6220 laptop?
[19:25] <me8myself> sethk: there where no partions on the harddrive, this was the first one
[19:25] <stroyan> mr_marvin:  That was "jpa", not "jpl".   http://forum.ntfs-3g.org/viewtopic.php?p=2269&sid=0a202407fe822fa8dfe6d8f9dc63e210
[19:26] <Cyrus25801> soundray: i have a ide drive that i run ubuntu from and i have installed windows onto my sata drive on the second partition and i am having trouble inserting the windows "option" on the grub menu
[19:26] <soundray> axisys: you don't. Go to a reputable memory site, like crucial or kingston, and use their tools to find compatible memory.
[19:26] <sethk> me8myself, you aren't trying to recover an old partition, just create new ones?
[19:26] <axisys> soundray: cool.. thnx
[19:26] <Tarkus> hey, anyone know of a good lightweight editor (good for Python/C). that has good syntax highlighting and auto-indentation helpers?
[19:27] <Cyrus25801> soundray: http://pastebin.com/m11d1c57b
[19:27]  * kothz cheers for vi. :)
[19:27] <UltraMagnus> meh, those crucial memory finders never work for me... atleast they couldn't find my dell vostro
[19:27] <Mattia1> Tarcus: Scite?
[19:27] <marcel> hhey i got a question
[19:27] <Pici> !ask
[19:27] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[19:27] <me8myself> sethk: im trying to fix what i have done, windows is showing that i have lost 20 gigs (what i partioned) and gpared is saying "cluster accounteing failed at such and such"
[19:27] <marcel> is it possible to use the fancy 3d cube thingie in livecd mode?
[19:27] <mr_marvin> stroyan: thanks!
[19:27] <marcel> havent found an option to enable that
[19:27] <marcel> :/
[19:27] <sethk> me8myself, ok, as long as there was never any data on the disk, we can easily fix that by simply deleting the partition.
[19:28] <maek> marcel: try super+e, if that works that means compiz is on, then you can install ccsm to the live env
[19:28] <maek> marcel: you have to have the compiz config settings manager to turn on the cube
[19:28] <soundray> Cyrus25801: if the SATA is the second drive (ie. you're booting from the IDE one), then you should chainload (hd1,1)
[19:28] <affan> hi all... i am having trouble connecting to the internet thru my router.... altho if i connect my DSL modem directly i can connect fine... i just install Gutsy Kubuntu
[19:28] <me8myself> sethk: well the disk is used as my main hardrive the part i partioned was clean and had nothing on it
[19:28] <axisys> soundray: crucial does not have HP nc series.. hmm
[19:28] <soundray> Cyrus25801: but I doubt that Windows will be happy on a second drive.
[19:28] <marcel> what is ccsm?
[19:28] <marcel> super+e works
[19:28] <astra-x> I need to buy a wireless card, which usb one would I find the best support for in your opinion?
[19:28] <maek> compiz config settings manager
[19:28] <F0x1n> does anyone know if such as world of warcraft can be played under ubuntu? what program should I use as an emulator incase?
[19:28] <marcel> where can i get it?
[19:29] <marcel> couldnt find it in synaptic
[19:29] <maek> marcel:  you might have to enable different repos
[19:29] <kothz> F0x1n: i play it with wine under ubuntu all the time.
[19:29] <PriceChild> F0x1n, have you tried? Have you searched google? There's a guide on the ubuntu wiki if you'd like me to point you to it?
[19:29] <sethk> me8myself, I think what I would do is carefully write down the numbers printed by fdisk -l (or, better, capture them to a file), and delete the partition.  If that isn't successful we can use fdisk to restore the partition table to its current state.
[19:29] <Whitor> maek marcel it should be in the default repos
[19:29] <axisys> soundray: kingston does not have it either
[19:29] <marcel> it isnt :/
[19:30] <bulmer> affan your router and dsl are one and the same?
[19:30] <Whitor> marcel: ask q's about compiz in #compiz-fusion
[19:30] <me8myself> sethk: so which numbers would i whant
[19:30] <marcel> i enabled all other repositories, going to check for the config manager there
[19:30] <rd> canal de ubuntu en spanish???
[19:30] <Azzkikr> #ubuntu-es?
[19:30] <sethk> me8myself, the ones for the partition.  The others are simply read from the drive information.
[19:30] <rd> ok
[19:30] <soundray> axisys: you should be okay with any DDR2 SO-DIMM for laptops. Do get a second opinion on ##hardware, though
[19:30] <stroyan> Cyrus25801:  You probably need to use the "map" grub command to map the windows drive to be (hd1).  I manage to get "map" commands to work, but never feel confident to get it right on the first try. :)
[19:30] <sethk> me8myself, so the sda1 line
[19:30] <marcel> hm what about gaming under ubuntu? is it possible to play world of warcraft just like under windoze?
[19:31] <jonasj> marcel: wow runs great under wine
[19:31] <me8myself> sethk: ok and how do i delete that partion
[19:31] <Scunizi> Got Gutsy installed and all the effects. I opened VMWare server on Desktop #2 and the taskbar lists it on Desktop #2 and #1 at the same time but not on #3 or #4.  If I open something on 3 it doesn't show up on #1 but items in #4 WILL show up on #1.  How do I prevent this behavior?
[19:31] <sethk> me8myself, you run fdisk, without the -l, so,    fdisk /dev/sda
[19:31] <marcel> jonasj: with addons and stuff?
[19:31] <Whitor> marcel: I am running WoW in Wine
[19:31] <orangey> hey all!
[19:31] <jonasj> marcel: i don't see how they should make any difference
[19:31] <marcel> would it be possible to check the performance with the livecd?
[19:31] <Azzkikr> ello

[19:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tablet - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:32] <sethk> me8myself, that will give you a command line of sorts.  I believe delete is d.  there's a help command which is I believe ?
[19:32] <jburd> =\
[19:32] <orangey> what is that OSX-like bar I see in screenshots sometimes?
[19:32] <orangey> like this: http://bp3.blogger.com/_koRD62dNd64/Ruhk1synnlI/AAAAAAAACSM/5T0EIvrECzM/s1600-h/Screenshot.png
[19:32] <soundray> stroyan: wouldn't grub see the SATA drive as hd1 automatically, if the system boots from an IDE drive?
[19:32] <Azzkikr> orangey: you mean Avant Window Navigator i guess
[19:32] <F0x1n> is it faster to run world of warcraft from xp/vista?
[19:32] <jburd> How does one get a Wacom tablet working with Gutys?
[19:32] <Scunizi> jburd, check www.ubuntuformus.org for wacom stuff.. There's tons.

[19:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about watcom - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:32] <orangey> Azzkikr: I'll check it out. Thank you.
[19:32] <jburd> Scunizi: Ok.
[19:32] <jonasj> marcel: performance under the live cd is always far worse than under the installed system. such is the nature of the live cd.
[19:32] <stroyan> soundray:  Perhaps to hd0 then...  I stand by my claim to not be very good with "map". ;-)
[19:33] <TPABKA> hi
[19:33] <sethk> me8myself, sorry, the help command is m
[19:33] <TPABKA> is there anyway to enable installations of -multilib packages by default?
[19:33] <gnuskool> g'day
[19:33] <sethk> me8myself, but it prints that when you run it, so I'm not _that_ sorry   :)
[19:33] <soundray> stroyan: you're better than me if you've tried it... I've been fortunate enough not to need it so far.
[19:33] <rbs-tito> Can anyone give me a hand? My 3D screensavers in Gutsy are pretty messed up.
[19:34] <F0x1n> is it faster to run a windows application (such as world of warcraft) from ubuntu (using Wine) or window (xp/vista) ?
[19:34] <marcel> jonasj:  no thats not what i have meant :P i mean can i check the graphics performance by using the livecd?

[19:34] <Scunizi> F0x1n, just depends.. not all winX apps will run in wine
[19:34] <sethk> F0x1n, emulators have overhead.  running the native o/s is always faster
[19:34] <jonasj> marcel: no, as i just said: performance under the live cd is always far worse than under the installed system. such is the nature of the live cd.
[19:35] <jamiejackson> is there a better place to ask my vpn/dns question?
[19:35] <marcel> mhm oka
[19:35] <hd420> kewl... it worked!
[19:35] <Scunizi> jamiejackson, you might try #ubuntu-server
[19:35] <hd420> thanks sethk
[19:35] <kothz> F0x1n: True, emulators have overhead, but sometimes during raids or in Org my framerate is actually better with wine :)
[19:35] <sethk> hd420, np, as the old joke goes, even a stopped clock is right twice a day
[19:35] <jamiejackson> k, i'll try
[19:35] <mikedep333> after installing the nvidia driver on gutsy my monitor turns off when I try to use the X session.  What's the command to run the screen & graphics config program?
[19:35] <Whitor> is there any good file recovery software for sector by sector recovery for NTFS partition types in Linux / Ubuntu?
[19:36] <orgy`> hi, whats the easiest way to view a *svgz file?
[19:36] <me8myself> sethk: so i whant to type (fdisk /dev/sda)
[19:36] <mikedep333> orgy: I think firefox can view them
[19:36] <sethk> mikedep333, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[19:36] <Cyrus25801> soundray: i will swop the 2 drives but then where do i put the grub menu and how do i set it up??
[19:36] <sethk> me8myself, correct, as root
[19:36] <mikedep333> sethk: no, the new graphical program
[19:36] <Artemis3> help with laser printer hp laserjet5m in a lan: it works perfectly but everything is printed too light. Same printer from other workstation using debian etch or windows prints dark as it should, tried all available options this only happens with ubuntu and derivates like linux mint, 7.04 and now 7.10 still the same
[19:37] <jonasj> mikedep333: displayconfig-gtk ?
[19:37] <sethk> mikedep333, don't know, when something works I feel no great need to use something else
[19:37] <mikedep333> there we go, thanks
[19:37] <me8myself> sethk: bash: sudu: command not found
[19:37] <sethk> me8myself, sudo, sorry if I mistyped
[19:37] <soundray> Cyrus25801: don't swap them yet -- try the chainloading suggestion first. It might work.
[19:38] <capiira> hi does ubuntu comes with final gimp or still rc3?
[19:38] <orgy`> mikedep333 *svgz seem to be compressed svg, firefox just asks for another application when i try to open the file with it
[19:38] <mediabuntu> any one please tell me what the ssh log /var/log/* ?
[19:38] <bulmer> Artemis3-> wasnt it part of printcap to determine darkness of print?
[19:38] <taz> hello anybody
[19:38] <soundray> orgy`: try a 'zcat file.svgz >file.svg' and open file.svg
[19:38] <Artemis3> bulmer, how to change that?
[19:39] <bulmer> Artemis3-> i cant remember..we may have to google :(
[19:39] <axisys> soundray: that is what I got.. let me visit that chnl.. thnx
