[15:52] <peepsalot> bazhang, aldarsior i get put into some safe graphics mode, and when i try to run nvidia settings it tells me "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X river PLease edit your X configuration file (just run nvidia-xconfig as root), and restart the X server."
[15:52] <poopuser> fde: tu
[15:52] <erUSUL> k0rnz: but you did not fromated it yet... what filesystem you want to use in the parition?
[15:52] <oskar-> poopuser:  look for an option like "usb legacy support" in the bios setup
[15:52] <peepsalot> bazhang, aldarsior i ran nvidia-xconfig and restarted X, but still same issue
[15:52] <loller> erUSUL how should i reinstall the vmware kernel ?
[15:52] <bazhang> peepsalot, did you install the driver from hardware drivers? what card is this
[15:52] <erUSUL> k0rnz: you can use gparted to easily format it
[15:52] <poopuser> fde / oskar thx for help
[15:52] <k0rnz> erUSUL thanks
[15:53] <peepsalot> bazhang, i can't remember the exact card name, it's a quadro something
[15:53] <hmw> a system beep would be enough *sigh* did your last command, without much success... ibtw i ended up in aptitude's ui
[15:53] <bazhang> peepsalot, check lspci
[15:53] <erUSUL> loller: not sure.. maybe they have a helpper script to recompile/reinstall modules? never used vmware
[15:53] <Maximander> Anyone know how to get 802.11 N rates with intrepid iwlagn / intel 4965 using 2.6.27-7 x64 ?
[15:53] <peepsalot> bazhang, the restricted drivers manager says that the nviida drvier is in use
[15:53] <bazhang> peepsalot, this is intrepid?
[15:53] <fde> hmw: you certainly shouldn't have
[15:53] <peepsalot> bazhang, quadro nvs 140M
[15:53] <erUSUL> Maximander: i think that N spec is not supported in linux yet
[15:53] <lorenzosu> I installed ubuntu 8.10 on a hp laptop with wubi. It has an ATI graphics card and every time I reboot/shutdown/log out it freezes
[15:53] <peepsalot> bazhang, yes
[15:53] <bazhang> peepsalot, does it list more than one and say which is recommended?
[15:54] <Stalker72> How do I resize a picture in GIMP?
[15:54]  * Maximander grumbles "Ready for the desktop my a**..."
[15:54] <bazhang> Stalker72, with the resize tool
[15:54] <peepsalot> bazhang, i am running the recommended version (177) there is also a version 173
[15:54] <erUSUL> Stalker72: image>resize??? this is not really a gimp channel you know
[15:54] <bazhang> Stalker72, check the gimp user docs at their site
[15:54] <lorenzosu> Stalker72, the whole picture or just a layer?
[15:54] <loller> the only problem is that if reinstall the vmware my virtual machine won`t work i afraid so ....
[15:54] <Rainarrow> Hello, how do I reinstall the stock kernel modules using apt-get after screwing up in compiling modules?
[15:55] <peepsalot> bazhang, should I try 173?
[15:55] <hmw> fde: in firefox' settings, wav can be set to "Totem Web Browser Plugin" or "Movie Player (default)" and "Ask", "Save"... it neither asks nor asks me to save!
[15:55] <Dr_willis> Stalker72,  'scale image' perhaps
[15:55] <bazhang> peepsalot, once you enabled did you reboot?
[15:55] <Stalker72> lorenzosu: I want to remove some of the background completely..
[15:55] <Maximander> even vista supports 802.11n, and I see several tickets related to 802.11n and iwlagn. Is there a flag I can throw to test N support?
[15:55] <hmw> fde: i pasted your command badly... retrying
[15:55] <peepsalot> bazhang, it has been enabled the whole time since the upgrade.  i have rebooted a few timne
[15:55] <NEWK> Just a quick question...
[15:55] <NEWK> What file system does Ubuntu use?
[15:56] <bazhang> newk largely ext3
[15:56] <Dr_willis> NEWK,  ext3 by default
[15:56] <NEWK> OK, thank you
[15:56] <Maximander> NEWK:  but you can pick whatever you want in the installer
[15:56] <Stalker72> How do I remove parts of a picture in GIMP?
[15:56] <NEWK> I need to install an ext3 driver on my Windows partition so Windows can see the Ubuntu FS
[15:56] <Dr_willis> Stalker72,  you really should go track down a GIMP tutorial or 3
[15:56] <NEWK> any tips? because I've never done this before
[15:56] <Dr_willis> Stalker72,  use the Selexct tool and  'select/cut' out whatyou dont want..
[15:57] <hasni> salut tt le monde
[15:57] <Rainarrow> How to reinstall the stock kernel modules?
[15:57] <oskar-> NEWK:  yes, or an ext2 driver. i heard, that there is no stable solution out there. correct me, if i'm wrong
[15:57] <fde> NEWK: you want an ext2 driver ... ext3 is ext2 with a journel... you don't need that journel to just mount the partition
[15:57] <Stalker72> Dr_willis: That only clears it.. It doesn't remove it from the picture
[15:57] <NEWK> oh, ok, cool
[15:57] <Maximander> NEWK: You have three options: a real FS driver for ext2, an explorer extension, or a standalone app
[15:57] <fde> http://www.fs-driver.org/
[15:58] <NEWK> thank you. :)
[15:58] <lorenzosu> Stalker72, type "/join #gimp" (without quotes) to join the GIMP-related channel
[15:58] <Dr_willis> Stalker72,  depends on whatyou mean by clear vs remove..     add a transparency layer if you want to totally 'clear' an area
[15:58] <peepsalot> bazhang, any suggestions?
[15:58] <Maximander> NEWK: with the fs-driver and ext2 support, some things won't work, including hibernating in one OS and then booting the other
[15:58] <lorenzosu> Stalker72, type "/join #gimp" (without quotes) to join the GIMP-related channel
[15:58] <lorenzosu> I installed ubuntu 8.10 on a hp laptop with wubi. It has an ATI graphics card and every time I reboot/shutdown/log out it freezes
[15:59] <Dr_willis> NEWK,  the fs-driver tool under windows.. can cause some issues.. use it with care.. and i always 'unmount' the linux drives from their drive letters under windows - when Im not using them in windows..
[15:59] <thebishop> hello.  I'm trying to disable the media buttons on my Toshiba laptop, but this toshset utility says my kernel doesn't have Toshiba support.  How can I do this with the Ubuntu stock kernel?
[15:59] <Maximander> NEWK: the advantage to using a userland program on windows to browse ext2/3 partitions is that they don't keep it mounted
[16:00] <NEWK> unmounting it won't be too much of a problem
[16:00] <NEWK> I'll just use the driver
[16:00] <Maximander> and this the whole hibernate, corruption, or unclean dismount issues become non-issues
[16:00] <Maximander> k, good luck
[16:00] <NEWK> thanks
[16:00] <shoat> I have an ipw2200 wireless adapter.  Since the upgrade to intrepid, my wireless keeps dropping/reconnecting.  Any workarounds until the fix is released?  I have associate=0 set already
[16:01] <hmw> fde: in FF: Edit/Preferences/Applications/WAV there is still those 4 options: Always Ask/Save/Movie Player(default)/Totem Webbroser Plugin and CHOOSE. Could I choose something? And: I thought i just purged the Totem plugin!?
[16:01] <fde> hmw: no, you switched backend
[16:02] <mikevankuik> Hi how do I retrive a fresh list of packages for apt-get ? I've tried apt-get update but it doesn't give me back lighttpd as an option ( I threw a bit to much away (A))
[16:02] <tavis> is there a current package for cli that shows file copy speed/progress like the old vcp?
[16:02] <hmw> fde: either i have become a normal user this night, or someting is wrong with my ubuntu. i dont have had much luck with it *g* only my 800MHz machine is doing really fine with ubuntu
[16:02] <histo> mikevankuik: apt-get update will retrieve a list of whats availible
[16:02] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> mikevankuik: applications -> Add/Remove
[16:03] <histo> !info lighttpd
[16:03] <erUSUL> shoat: maybe linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-7-generic contains a more stable driver
[16:03] <hmw> REALLY fine! even compiz is very fast
[16:03] <histo> mikevankuik: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[16:03] <fde> mikevankuik: lighttpd is in intrepid...
[16:03] <erUSUL> !backports | shoat
[16:03] <rhsanborn> Is there any harm in using apt-get install in ubuntu? I want to make sure that synaptic doesn't have it's own independent database that won't get updated if I use the command line
[16:03] <hmw> but i want my sound *sniff*
[16:03] <hmw> ANY
[16:03] <histo> mikevankuik: you have to have the universe repo enabled
[16:03] <hmw> system beep
[16:03] <Pici> !enter
[16:04] <mikevankuik> Try_Hard_Go_Pro: I'm in a terminal nog in a GUI ^_^ (server package)
[16:04] <loller> someone having experience with vmware ?
[16:04] <fde> hmw: idk what is wrong at this point.... it should be working as your setup matches mine  :/
[16:04] <mikevankuik> fde: ? what do you mean? how do I get it back in the list?
[16:04] <hmw> fde: thanks for trying anyways
[16:04] <fde> mikevankuik: enable universe in system > administration > software sources
[16:05] <fde> mikevankuik: you probably want multiverse too
[16:05] <mikevankuik> fde: I'm not in a gui I'm ssh-ing my server
[16:05] <Skky> does anyone know the CLI command to change desktop background image?
[16:05] <fde> mikevankuik: then edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the lines related to universe (and multiverse)
[16:06] <NEWK> hhhmmm,
[16:06] <NEWK> I installed the driver in Windows
[16:07] <NEWK> but it says it's not formatted
[16:07] <NEWK> and it just says the filesystem is "Linux"
[16:07] <fde> Skky: look in ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/background/
[16:07] <peepsalot> bazhang, i tried version 173 and it works now
[16:07] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> mikevankuik: what package do you want
[16:07] <bazhang> peepsalot good news
[16:08] <hmw> NEWK: windows cant read the linux fs natively
[16:08] <ikonia> last NEWFAQ
[16:08] <oskar-> hmw:  he installed a ext2 driver ;)
[16:08] <ikonia> oops
[16:08] <Mimi> Question: Is there a media player that can, or has a plugin, to let me change pitch and/or tempo of my songs? (No, not like audacity)
[16:08] <NEWK> Yeah, I installed the driver
[16:08] <philippe_> Hi. I am tring some ascii code (alt+..) but it is not working. Is it normal? What can I do to make them working?
[16:08] <oskar-> NEWK: is it perhaps an encrypted file system?
[16:08] <NEWK> I don't think so
[16:09] <NEWK> I'll try one of the other programs
[16:09] <hmw> NEWK: i used Ext2IFS_1_10c.exe successfully, what did you use?
[16:09] <cdavis_> I have never used a docking station with Ubuntu before, what should I be looking at to configure it to display correctly to my external monitor when docked?
[16:10] <NEWK> That's the file I used
[16:10] <hmw> you need to assign a drive letter in the control panel, did you do that?
[16:10] <NEWK> yes
[16:10] <NEWK> when I try to click on that drive in my computer, it says it's not formatted
[16:10] <NEWK> then it asks me to format it
[16:10] <oskar-> i want to run windows in a virtual machine under linux. which virtualization solution for linux can you recommend?
[16:11] <NEWK> it's almost as if it's not an ext2 partition!
[16:11] <philippe_> oskar-, VirtualBox work great for me
[16:11] <hmw> oskar: i just installed virtual box and i am happy
[16:11] <bazhang> oskar-, vbox or vmware
[16:11] <fde> oskar-: depends, does your CPU have virtualization extensions?
[16:11] <aremax> hello..
[16:11] <andre_pl> rvsjoen: i tried changing that setting, still got the same error, i'm trying the "normal" way to compile/install a kernel
[16:11] <hmw> oskar: google "ubunto virtualbox" first and find a good tutorial
[16:11] <Pici> !vbox | oskar-
[16:11] <hmw> oskar: ubuntu of course
[16:11] <oskar-> fde:  no, none i know of. it is a quite old athlon xp
[16:11] <fde> VirtualBox doesn't use virtualization extensions
[16:12] <aremax> hai..I'm linux's newbie... from Indonesia...
[16:12] <bazhang> hmw, dont need to recommend google here
[16:12] <oskar-> ok, thank you
[16:12] <fde> oskar-: then probably VirtualBox yes
[16:12] <bazhang> hmw, we can answer those questions
[16:12] <bazhang> hmw, either here or in #vbox
[16:12] <aremax> may I ask all linux master hre..?
[16:12] <hmw> bazhang: simply installing it just consumes time, until you find out, that it isnt that straight forward
[16:12] <yunustj> hi, what is the name of cli program that I can use to verify burned ubuntu 8.10 cd?
[16:13] <fde> !ask > aremax
[16:13] <bazhang> hmw, you are discussing windows drivers? please take to ##windows
[16:13] <hmw> bazhang: no??
[16:13] <fde> bazhang: its a driver for ext2
[16:13] <aremax> thx ubottu
[16:13] <oobe> i would just like to say i often see people ask questions that they really should be using google for
[16:13] <oobe> so go use google you retards
[16:13] <NEWK> I'm trying a different program now
[16:13] <HeisSpiter|Lap> Hi
[16:13] <bazhang> oobe, please keep it civil
[16:14] <UnknownUser56> !language | oobe
[16:14] <oobe> that was civil trust me
[16:14] <NEWK> This other program doesn't recognize it either!
[16:14] <NEWK> It just says that the filesystem is "Linux native"
[16:14] <hmw> NEWK: if youre sure, that your drive is sane, and that the partition is, too, then it is really, really strange
[16:14] <bazhang> NEWK, this is from windows or from ubuntu
[16:14] <ksbalaji> Mine Hardy. Installed firestarter. Now, Firefox does not have history and the bookmarks are gone.
[16:15] <lorenzosu> I installed ubuntu 8.10 on a hp laptop with wubi. It has an ATI graphics card and every time I reboot/shutdown/log out it freezes
[16:15] <NEWK> This is in Windows
[16:15] <sin> ???
[16:15] <NEWK> trying to access my Ubuntu partition
[16:15] <benoka> I'm trying to install gnokii but it seems to be extremely complicated - isn't there a way to click once on install and then it does the whole thing? do I really have to install all little components one by one?
[16:15] <NEWK> and it's 8.10, by the way
[16:15] <NEWK> if that matters
[16:15] <mithraic> I can't seem to restore my ubuntu splash at startup :(
[16:15] <mithraic> Problem: My shutdown splash is ubuntu. My startup splash is still kubuntu.
[16:15] <bazhang> NEWK, you are trying to share files and folders between ubuntu and windows?
[16:16] <ekrres> ?
[16:16] <mithraic> Attempted: I ran sudo update-alternatives --config uplash-artwork.so
[16:16] <NEWK> No, I'm trying yo access my ubuntu partition
[16:16] <mithraic> Result: As above. Boo-hoo.
[16:16] <NEWK> *to
[16:16] <mithraic> Any other suggestions?
[16:16] <hmw> NEWK: boot into ubuntu and access your windows
[16:16] <NEWK> why?
[16:16] <Pici> NEWK: If you're using windows currently and trying to install a driver to access your ext3 paritions, then this is a topic for ##windows, not #ubuntu
[16:17] <fde> mithraic: remove kubuntu-usplash-theme (aptitude search kubuntu if that's the wrong name) and reinstall ubuntu-usplash-theme (again check package name, I'm not 100%)
[16:17] <NEWK> That's not what I want to do
[16:17] <Fougner> hey, is there a way to display realtime network activity in terminal?
[16:17] <bazhang> mithraic, you seem to have missed the last part of the command
[16:17] <hmw> NEWK: because its more reliable
[16:17] <fde> Pici: you really think ##windows will assist him?  :/
[16:17] <Pici> fde: Yes.
[16:17] <mithraic> fde, thanks
[16:17] <NEWK> But, that's not what I want to do
[16:17] <Pici> fde: Its offtopic here anyway.
[16:17] <NEWK> alright, I give up
[16:17] <NEWK> thanks for your help
[16:17] <fde> Pici: they will laugh at him
[16:17] <ksbalaji>  Installed firestarter firewall. Now, Firefox does not show history and the bookmarks are gone! Also I am unable to restore bookmarks.
[16:17] <Pici> fde: Why?
[16:17] <bazhang> fde its offtopic here.
[16:18] <fde> Pici: he is trying to figure out why Ubuntu won't let him access its partition from Windows... how is it offtopic?
[16:18] <hmw> NEWK: is the partition still good? can you boot it?
[16:19] <oskar-> ksbalaji:  this seems unrelated to me...
[16:19] <benoka> when I download a packed file, how do I start the commands in that file? do I have to extract first somewhere? and after?
[16:19] <bazhang> !usplash | mithraic
[16:19] <ompaul> fde, is it not obvious, the software he wants to run is on windows to access ....... ext3 .... you would not expect a windows channel to support something like reading ntfs from a gnu/linux system
[16:20] <hmw> benoka: always extract the stuff before running it
[16:20] <bazhang> mithraic, you seem to only have done the first part of that command
[16:20] <mithraic> I see, thanks bazhang
[16:20] <bazhang> benoka, what file and what are you trying to do
[16:21] <mithraic> While I'm kvetching: In gnome save panels, when I begin typing it seems to change the filetype filter, rather than the filename.
[16:21] <mithraic> Is that just the way it is, or am I misconfigured someplace?
[16:21] <bazhang> mithraic, the highlighted section?
[16:22] <fde> ompaul: try getting help from ##windows sometime, and you'll see my issue with that response... people in here are more likely to be experienced with it anyways
[16:22] <ksbalaji> oskar-, pardon? - I said that after installing firestarter firewall in Hardy, my firefox does not show my bookmarks. Nor does it show the history. Can you help?
[16:22] <ompaul> fde, not our problem
 fde, is it not obvious, the software he wants to run is on windows to access ....... ext3 .... you would not expect a windows channel to support something like reading ntfs from a gnu/linux system <-- Actually, we do.
[16:23] <mithraic> ok, suddenly i can't reproduce. ain't that the way. i'll go back to my corner.
[16:23] <DarkKnight> hey wats the best distro
[16:23] <fde> ompaul: I thought Ubuntu cared about support, no matter the issue, provided it is related to Ubuntu?
[16:23] <ompaul> MacGyverNL, ehh read my comment again - ntfs reading using ubuntu is in factoids here
[16:23] <bazhang> benoka, please keep it in channel
[16:23] <benoka> bazhang, ok
[16:23] <benoka> it's just too many things at a time
[16:24] <oskar-> ksbalaji: yes, i understand. but i see no relation between installing a firewall configuration tool and disappeared bookmarks... maybe a random coincidence?
[16:24] <fde> DarkKnight: you're asking #ubuntu so that is a flawed question... people in ##linux would likely recommend Ubuntu too though if you're a beginner
[16:24] <bazhang> benoka, just type my name and me yours and itll be fine
[16:24] <ompaul> fde, not windows support and it is not related to that, if that were the case using a mainframe and SAS software to export cvs files to your ubuntu platter would be of concern here, and it is not
[16:24] <dlew> Has anyone else failed to get the most recent updates, because of a "size mismatch"?  http://pastie.org/319713
[16:24] <benoka> bazhang, I'm trying to install gnokii from downloaded from here: http://gnokii.org/download/gnokii/
[16:24] <bazhang> benoka, what does gnokii do
[16:24] <regeya> oh yikes
[16:24] <regeya> what's the best car DarkKnight?
[16:24] <ompaul> fde, if you want to discuss this further I suggest we do so in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:25] <ompaul> !offtopic | regeya
[16:25] <benoka> bazhang, it's an application for communication with mobile phones, mainly nokia
[16:25] <oskar-> DarkKnight: of course, gentoo is the best distribution ;-) *duck*
[16:25] <fde> ompaul: its cool... I guess I got the wrong idea about Ubuntu... guess I should direct Wubi issues to ##windows too, my mistake
[16:25] <bazhang> benoka, install from repos
[16:25] <hmw> oskar: ever tried linux from scratch? *g*
[16:25] <ksbalaji> oskar-, I feel that it is because of firestarter. Can I restore the  bookmarks?
[16:25] <bazhang> !info gnokii | benoka
[16:25] <benoka> bazhang, what is repos?
[16:25] <DarkKnight> fde, oskar-; i m using ubuntu; but my peers have installed debian on college systems and people were dissatisfied. I am given the task to install the whole lab with the best OS not necessarily ubuntu...
[16:25] <ompaul> fde, not the same issue and I think you know that
[16:26] <regeya> plus, the point I'm getting at DarkKnight, is that "best" is dependent upon what you need.  For some people, Ubuntu is the best...oh c'mon, ompaul, let's not educate people by example...
[16:26] <bazhang> benoka, sudo apt-get install gnokii
[16:26] <fde> ompaul: I think its very related... its a Windows application. He wants to access Ubuntu from his Linux partition.
[16:26] <oskar-> hmw: i wanted to, had started, but then had not enough time
[16:26] <Neconide> Sigh.....................
[16:26] <bazhang> fde, please stop.
[16:26] <Neconide> Can anyone help me out with getting ndiswrapper installed on 8.04?
[16:26] <ompaul> fde, not the same thing - please talk in -ot about this, I promise to be entertaining
[16:26] <DarkKnight> regaya; read my above statement
[16:27] <Neconide> $ sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common, ndiswrapper-modules-1.9, ndisgtk doesn't work
[16:27] <MacGyverNL> ompaul: Yes, but if you ask that question in ##Windows, we do answer. That's what I meant. It was also directed at fde's "they will laugh at him."
[16:27] <MacGyverNL> ompaul: Apologies for the confusion.
[16:27] <regeya> ...for some people, while for others no form of *n?x will work.  Come up with a list of your needs, and start looking up various distributions to see what their strengths/weaknesses are DarkKnight...and based on ompaul's response, no need to scroll back, the conversation is over.
[16:27] <dmsuperman> We're a bit off the topic of support...
[16:27] <oskar-> DarkKnight:  you have to know what you want, and then look, which fits best. there is no single scale like goodness
[16:28] <ksbalaji> oskar-, I believe because this happened immediately after installing firestarter. FF3 behaves strangely.
[16:28] <arpi> Hi, I`ve installed 8.10 on a vaio laptop with wupi, strangly DVD playback and rhythmbox and Totem visualisation with skype picture is all jerky while flash movies play all right. Can you help me please?

[16:28] <benoka> bazhang, ok, thank you, I'll try - on the other hand, I started to install some components already upon installation instructions manually, what do I do to them? how do I find them back...? :( or I should just forget about them...
[16:28] <bazhang> benoka, the ubuntu software repositories; always look there first
[16:28] <muhamad> muhamad
[16:28] <paule_> arpi, what are you using to play dvds?
[16:28] <bazhang> muhamad, this is ubuntu support do you have a support question

[16:30] <crweb> what package owns the default ubuntu background and how does it set it to default?
[16:30] <oskar-> ksbalaji: i suggest to make a backup copy of your firefox profile directory (~/.mozilla/firefox). then you can try to look into it and see, if you can repair it. i do not know enough about it, sorry...
[16:30] <bazhang> benoka, how far along did you get with the installation
[16:30] <DarkKnight> oskar, regaya; well th the tools we might as well use are UML , C, C++, DBMS, flash, java  and the systems are client server......so the client-server which we setup must also not give problems.....the thing is dat everybody is a newbie to linux at my college, so I am supposed to easy to use, learn and implement OS
[16:30] <Neconide> Anyone? :\
[16:31] <bazhang> DarkKnight, please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:31] <benoka> bazhang, so I should actually not download stuff from the internet but try and get them from the ubuntu software repositories? how do i find that?
[16:31] <squarebracket> where are the kernel drivers kept?
[16:31] <ksbalaji> oskar-, anyway thanks for your interest. I shall try repairing.
[16:31] <bazhang> benoka, from synaptic package manager, add/remove, or the command line apt-get (apt-cache search to search)
[16:31] <vinnie> ...
[16:31] <paule_> arpi, are you using proprietary video card drivers?
[16:32] <DarkKnight> benoka; system--->Administration---> Synaptic Package Managaer
[16:32] <benoka> bazhang, the command finished
[16:32] <peleg> Do you have any idea what can block my C-something key-bindings from working in LyX? It's an old-old problem here, but I can't find any clue on the net
[16:32] <bazhang> benoka, was it installed successfully?
[16:32] <arpi> yes I use proprietary drives.
[16:32] <vinnie> what does HAL failed to initialized actually mean??
[16:32] <peleg> M-something works great (M = Alt key, C = Ctrl key)
[16:32] <Neconide> Can someone help me install ndiswrapper on 8.04 I'm having a lot of trouble, I'm not sure if I'm using the right command ($ sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common, ndiswrapper-modules-1.9, ndisgtk) but it doesn't recognize the packages.
[16:33] <hmw> peleg: your lynx as it came, or did you tweak it?
[16:33] <alex|xela> is it possible it in anyway to create softare raid 0 on ubuntu 8.04 while the server is online? ive just noticed my 2 x 320 gb drives are not raided - using mdadm?
[16:33] <benoka> bazhang, seems to be the case, but I don't know where can I find it
[16:33] <peleg> hmw: LyX, not lynx
[16:33] <paule_> arpi, maybe try using xbmc, which used 3d accel, also you might try disabling that driver and seeing if it fixes vlc
[16:33] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> Neconide: try typing the same just ithout ,
[16:33] <peleg> hmw: and I did not tweak it
[16:33] <hmw> peleg: oops. sorry *g*
[16:33] <alex|xela> #
[16:33] <alex|xela> all the data is being stored on sda1, anyway i can just attach sdb1 onto it easily?
[16:33] <paule_> arpi, have you searched the forums to see if other people had problems with your laptop?
[16:34] <peleg> hmw: does that mean you don't have an idea?
[16:34] <hmw> peleg: sorry, no. i dont even know LyX :(
[16:34] <benoka> bazhang, ok i found it az xgnokii
[16:34] <peleg> thanks!
[16:34] <bazhang> benoka, nice
[16:34] <benoka> bazhang, as far as I know that's an extension to gnokii
[16:35] <bazhang> benoka, yep
[16:35] <OxDeadC0de> anyone know of a nice ui designer app for pytcl/tk ?
[16:35] <OxDeadC0de> I know it's better to code them but I'm on a deadline
[16:35] <Neconide> Try_Hard_Go_Pro: it still recognizes it as a seperation point because it doesnt say "cannot find package ndiswrapper-common,"
[16:35] <Neconide> I've tried to install them all seperately but it can't find them.
[16:36] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> do you type $ infront of sudo
[16:36] <arpi> Yes I didn`t find anybody with similar problems.
[16:36] <Neconide> I might want to note I'm dual booting vista and ubuntu, and the fact that WUSB600N isn't ubuntu-friendly is the only reason I can talk to you right now from vista.
[16:36] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> cause you shouldn't
[16:36] <benoka> bazhang, connecting but not really doing anything...
[16:36] <Neconide> Try_Hard_Go_Pro: no, I didn't.
[16:36] <paule_> !who | arpi
[16:36] <emilien> need help making a video of my desktop under ubuntu any suggestions on programs?
[16:37] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> why don't you just try finding the packages in add/remove
[16:37] <bazhang> !screencast | emilien
[16:37] <fde> emilien: istanbul
[16:37] <arpi> Ok I was addressing paule_
[16:37] <emilien> ok thanks
[16:38] <paule_> arpi, does vlc play any video files without lagging?
[16:38] <Neconide> Try_Hard_Go_Pro they're not there.
[16:38] <progex> who am I?
[16:38] <Neconide> I think I just got a bummed ass ubuntu install.
[16:38] <alex|xela> is it possible it in anyway to create softare raid 0 on ubuntu 8.04 while the server is online? ive just noticed my 2 x 320 gb drives are not raided - using mdadm? all the data is being stored on sda1, anyway i can just attach sdb1 onto it easily?
[16:38] <alex|xela> sorry raid 1
[16:38] <hmw> Neconide: maybe switching to the main servers might help?
[16:39] <arpi> paule_ Vlc is not lagging system resources are not used extensively
[16:39] <hmw> arpi: did you try another DVD?
[16:39] <Neconide> hmw: I can't connect to the internet because of my god damn WUSB600N and I need to install ndiswrapper to get it to work... I know usually WUSB600N isn't very friendly with ndiswrapper but I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
[16:40] <benoka> bazhang, it's not doing anything... :(
[16:40] <arpi> paule_Yes it is the same with all
[16:40] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> neconide: well i installed it succesfully
[16:40] <hmw> propain: frank?
[16:40] <paule_> arpi, so the the problem is only with dvds?
[16:41] <Neconide> Try_Hard_Go_Pro: That doesn't really help me :\
[16:41] <trinhvantu> hiiiii
[16:41] <Neconide> hi.
[16:41] <benoka> ubuntu only recognizes my laptop's built-in wireless card, not the external wireless USB adapter, what can I do?
[16:41] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> neconide: hmm what does it says you exactly
[16:42] <arpi> Paule_No ,I get similar jerky visualisations in music players and my skype picture is also jerky.
[16:42] <Neconide> Try_Hard_Go_Pro: "Could Not Find Package ndiswrapper-common" or ndiswrapper-modules-1.9 or anything else
[16:43] <hmw> arpi: exlpain jerke a little more detailed, please
[16:43] <Neconide> Try_Hard_Go_Pro: and yes I've tried to install them all seperately.
[16:43] <angel> Hi just wondering is there anyone here knows how to use avidemux2?

[16:44] <user01> is there user friendly pdf splitter/merger for people who arent very technical (eg end users)?
[16:44] <user01> user01, for a gui
[16:45] <arpi> Paule_ OK, I get the movie, visualisation, skype playing but in approx. every 2 seconds the picture turns black for a flash then it comes back.
[16:45] <Buster_Hymen> what's the status of office2007 under wine? I'm getting conflicting reports all over google.  Can i just run the installer under wine with no tweaking?
[16:45] <benoka> hello all, ubuntu only recognizes my laptop's built-in wireless card, not the external wireless USB adapter, what can I do?
[16:45] <paule_> arpi, sounds video card related, try disabling the proprietary driver and see if that fixes the problem
[16:46] <alex|xela> is it possible it in anyway to create softare raid 1 while the server is booted, without using the livecd etc? ive just noticed my 2 x 320 gb drives are not raided .. should i use mdadm? all the data is being stored on sda1, anyway i can just attach sdb1 onto it easily? and raid 1 it?
[16:46] <arpi> Paule_ Idid that, without good results.
[16:46] <Rainarrow> Hello, what's the difference between acpi-cpufreq and speedstep-centrino? is it true that the latter one is now obsolete? I googled with the two names but seems can't reach a clear conclusion.
[16:46] <vinnie> hi why does my dvdrw unable to read all dvd .it happen soon after akernek upgrade
[16:46] <paule_> arpi, was it the same problem or different then
[16:47] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> neconide: try addind these lines int /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:47] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> neconide: deb http://bg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid universe
[16:47] <Try_Hard_Go_Pro> deb http://bg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-updates universe
[16:47] <arpi> Paule_ It was exactly the same.
[16:47] <oskar-> vinnie: is it unable to read the dvd at all or only unable to play movies?
[16:47] <phrostbite> I have a samsung mp3 player and it for some reason does not wanna show up like other mp3 players. Does anybody have a suggestion as to why this might be happening?
[16:48] <Buster_Hymen> benoka:  did you check to see if that adapter was supported?
[16:48] <drindt> i freshly installed ubuntu server edition 8.0.4 lts and want now installing syscp via apt-get install syscp but it doesnt install no output is given what can i do?
[16:48] <paule_> arpi, hmm weird not sure then, try posting details on the forum, probably someone else with the same hardware has run into the issue before, and keep asking here
[16:48] <vinnie> oskar; its unable to read all but i was ablw to write dvds
[16:48] <fXsTar> hy all!i have a problem with my ubuntu connection!i have a server
[16:48] <fXsTar>           behind a router ..and the maxim speed trough is 1 MB/s upload and
[16:48] <fXsTar>           download!
[16:48] <benoka> Buster_Hymen, where can I check that?
[16:48] <arpi> Thanks, Paule_
[16:48] <vinnie> oskar : i even tried with dmesg|tail
[16:49] <Buster_Hymen> it's on the ubuntu help pages somewhere. give me a second, i'll try to locate it for you
[16:49] <Pici> drindt: Because syscp is not a valid package name
[16:49] <drindt> Pici: in the previous install this is working, iam confused
[16:49] <oskar-> vinnie:  is it recognized at boot time?  try to mount dvds manually
[16:49] <fXsTar> anyone?
[16:49] <Buster_Hymen> benoka:  you'll have to find the chipset make of your adapter... the list is not by brand name
[16:49] <progex> alex I installed pclinuxos gnome on two drives in raid0 software raid that is its easy after you have done it once its a matter of make both drives Lvm then partitioning them
[16:49] <oskar-> vinnie:  maybe then you get error messages that help further
[16:49] <Buster_Hymen> so look carefully on the box and on the adapter
[16:50] <greg_> anyone know about setting my ubuntu box up as a PPTP server?
[16:50] <vinnie> oskar : i tried ,it do recognise som but unable to mount neither dvd nor csd
[16:50] <Pici> drindt: I don't see it listed as a valid package name in any supported release.

[16:51] <Nhorning> I've got a genius slip 1320
[16:52] <egoflux> how can i change how long it takes for the display to dim?
[16:52] <phrostbite> Grr this is aggravating. Do I need drivers or something if a mp3 player does not wanna connect?
[16:52] <flaco> non ubuntu question... when I install a program from the source... (make install) how can uninstall the program?
[16:52] <egoflux> in the power management tools there's only an option to dim when idle but u can't control how long that is...
[16:53] <greg_> phrostbits - does it show up when you type lsusb into terminal?
[16:53] <sedi-d> hey guys i was wondering if anyone can help me install automatix2
[16:53] <c369> hey, what is the gnome tool called to conifgure networkmanager? the gui thingy
[16:53] <temppy> !checkinstall > flaco
[16:53] <Neconide> No dice.
[16:53] <phrostbite> Let me check Greg
[16:53] <temppy> flaco: also, sometimes, there is a make uninstall command
[16:53] <Neconide> Apparently I need an internet connection to install ndiswrapper.....,
[16:53] <hmw> flaco: if youre lucky, the package provides uninstall... try make uninstall or make --help
[16:53] <sedi-d> i looked up a few ways of doing it an i just cant seem to get it to work
[16:53] <linuxcrypt> System > preferences > Power Management
[16:53] <temppy> Neconide: ndiswrapper is usually on the install cd
[16:53] <vinnie> oskar:HAL failed to intialise exactly mean ,som times i get it som times i dont after loggin into Gnome
[16:54] <egoflux> linuxcrypt: i know, but it doesn't allow me to change how long it takes for the dispaly to be considered idle...
[16:54] <sedi-d> lol anyone?:D
[16:54] <Neconide> temppy: Well I don't know, it isn't.
[16:54] <phrostbite> Greg_ Yes it shows up in there
[16:54] <egoflux> it just has a little check
[16:54] <linuxcrypt> yes
[16:54] <flaco> temppy, hmw: thks, that works
[16:54] <linuxcrypt> click on the "On Battery Tab"
[16:54] <bazhang> sedi-d, dont use automatix
[16:54] <linuxcrypt> uncheck the box for "reduce backlight brightness"
[16:54] <temppy> Neconide: are you sure? I have always found it there
[16:54] <paul68> hi I have been running through this howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Configuration%20on%20startup  however when I try to launch it then nothing is happening no error message nothing
[16:54] <sedi-d> ok then what should i use?
[16:54] <Neconide> temppy: yes I am sure
[16:55] <bazhang> sedi-d, it will require a full reinstall and you will not be supported here
[16:55] <paul68> how do I solve this
[16:55] <hmw> flaco: next time you could use chroot
[16:55] <temppy> Neconide: what cd are you using?
[16:55] <bazhang> sedi-d, ubuntu-restricted-extras
[16:55] <sedi-d> okkk then
[16:55] <sedi-d> thanks
[16:55] <Neconide> temppy: one I burned myself (obviously) ubuntu 8.04
[16:55] <phrostbite> When I type that lsusb it shows up in the list. so what should i do from there
[16:56] <temppy> Neconide: live cd? or alternate?
[16:56] <greg_> phrostbite: what kind of mp3 player?
[16:56] <phrostbite> samsung
[16:56] <Neconide> temppy: live cd meaning?
[16:56] <histo> !msg ubottu resolution
[16:57] <temppy> Neconide: well, regardless, if you have some other media, you can just get the packages straight from repositories.  You need ndiswrapper-utils and ndiswrapper-common
[16:57] <ohubuntu> where could i change the power settings, like disabling standby and the monitor turning off?
[16:57] <Neconide> temppy: what about ndiswrapper-modules-1.9?
[16:58] <paul68> hi I have been running through this howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Configuration%20on%20startup  however when I try to launch it then nothing is happening no error message nothing   how do I solve this   I also don't get any visual indications on the server that the script is running or being applied
[16:58] <macpo3> arggh I'm going mad .... what do I need to add to ~/.bashrc to create the HTML_TIDY environment variable and set it to /home/fred/tidy.conf
[16:58] <sambagirl> join #linux
[16:58] <sambagirl> morning
[16:58] <sambagirl> i received my erack server
[16:58] <sambagirl> my plan was to put ubuntu on it
[16:58] <Dr_willis> macpo3,  '   export VARIABLENAME='whatever'            '
[16:58] <sambagirl> brb
[16:59] <Dr_willis> macpo3,  of course that will only affect new shells...
[16:59] <egoflux> linuxcrypt: thanx...
[16:59] <greg_> anyone help m set up PPTP to allow me to vpn into my ubuntu box?
[16:59] <temppy> Neconide: I don't know.  Never heard of that package. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=hardy&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=ndiswrapper
[17:00] <hagna> how do I find out what is locking up the sound dev on ubuntu ibex I get this error audio_alsa_sink[hw:0,0]: Device or resource busy
[17:00] <sambagirl> from what i can gather, if you have an erack server, you have to remove the hdd and install on another system and then replace the drive back into the rack server?
[17:00] <macpo3> yes, so I do that and open a new terminal window, and it processes the ~/.bashrc (echo '~/.bashrc') but when I type env in the new terminal window, the variable isn't there
[17:00] <Neconide> temppy: Can't I just go to ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net o_o
[17:01] <mithraic> Has anyone else encountered this error when saving, from gedit, to a samba mount?
[17:01] <eventi> how can I allow a normal user to ping without sudo
[17:01] <mithraic> Problem: Saving within gedit to an existing file on a samba mount yields error "text file busy"
[17:02] <Dr_willis> eventi,  a normal user can ping here without sudi
[17:02] <mithraic> Details: Saving a new file doesn't have the problem. Saving with other editors (kate, gvim, etc.) doesn't have the problem.
[17:02] <shubbar> which drivers do i need for Nvidia Geforce 6200 ?
[17:02] <Neconide> temppy: alright now I think I can manage to install it, if I have any trouble I'll come bother you some more. :)
[17:02] <temppy> Neconide: that way, I would expect to be much harder.  If you have the know how to go that route, then why ask here?  Getting it from the repos is much simpler
[17:02] <fosco__> shubbar, 177
[17:02] <mithraic> Can anyone reproduce? Anybody out there got a samba mount up, and mind trying to save a text file?
[17:02] <temppy> Neconide: sure thing : )
[17:02] <eventi> ubuntu 8.10 gets ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted
[17:03] <eventi> Dr_willis: ubuntu 8.10 gets ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted
[17:03] <shubbar> fosco__, "This driver is activated but not in use" why do i get this message for 177?
[17:03] <paul68> hi I have been running through this howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Configuration%20on%20startup  however when I try to launch it then nothing is happening no error message nothing   how do I solve this   I also don't get any visual indications on the server that the script is running or being rejected
[17:03] <Dr_willis> eventi,  using ubuntu 8.10 64bit here.. and it works.
[17:03] <eventi> hmmm
[17:03] <eventi> actually using ubuntu-eee
[17:04] <Dr_willis> eventi,  try    ls -l /bin/ping
[17:04] <Dr_willis> -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 33168 2007-12-10 14:03 /bin/ping
[17:04] <fosco__> shubbar, not sure, make a backup of your xorg.conf and run sudo nvidia-xconfig
[17:04] <maple1> YES WE CAN
[17:04] <Dr_willis> eventi,  note the 's' - it seems ping is set 'suid' here
[17:04] <eventi> not for me
[17:04] <LjjjL> eventi: Ubuntu-Eee is not a supported version of Ubuntu
[17:04] <eventi> ok - I can fix that
[17:04] <c369> when I have changed my xorg.conf do I have to reboot or does it suffice to log out in order for the changes to take place?
[17:04] <LjjjL> eventi: anyway, i know that the problem is due to a bug that makes /bin/ping not suid root
[17:04] <LjjjL> eventi: so it can be fixed by making it suid root.
[17:04] <sambagirl> i received my erack server and i am perplexed with it. i actually did not realize that you have almost an ignorant bios for these things. so if i understand stuff correctly, i have to first remove the hdd and then put the removed hdd into another system and then install what i want on that hdd via the other system and then remove the hdd and then put it back into the erack server bay and then i can work with what i want then?
[17:05] <Dr_willis> I though the ping not being suid - was not a 'bug' but a 'security feature' :)
[17:05] <eventi> thanks guys - worked perfectly
[17:05] <LjjjL> Dr_willis: well, it's not that way in standard Ubuntu at any arte
[17:05] <Dr_willis> LjjjL,  yep..  seen other disrtos with ping not being suid

[17:12] <Marfi> Dr_willis, most SD cards are in fat32
[17:12] <mithraic> Is anyone aware of a utility giving keyboard shortcuts to resize a window? Not maximize/minimize, but resize (e.g. tile to left half of screen, etc.)
[17:12] <mithraic> This under compiz/gtk
[17:13] <oskar-> mithraic:  alt+f8 for me... (?)
[17:13] <ne2k__> mithraic: there was a wm I used to use that did all of that sort of stuff with the keyboard, can't remember what it was called, though
[17:13] <lucax> big issues with compix and xserver-intel... any other drivers i can use instead of this ones?
[17:13] <sivaji> Dr_willis, actually it was working file i copied some file from hd to mobile card after that its locked not accessible
[17:13] <paule_> Marfi, the password is user-set
[17:13] <c369> LjjjL, Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?
[17:14] <pronoy> how do i solve the sound input problem ??
[17:14] <sivaji> paule_, i didnt set any password
[17:14] <Marfi> is it "user-set" or the user sets the pass paule_ ?
[17:14] <LjjjL> c369: oh, then i recommend you put Option "SHMConfig" "on" in your Synaptics InputDevice section
[17:14] <Dr_willis> sivaji,  from what i see in the pastebin - theres some sort of read/write error...
[17:15] <c369> aight, thanks, LjjjL :)
[17:15] <Dr_willis> sivaji,  thats proberly not a good sign. :(
[17:15] <sivaji> Dr_willis, is there any way to fix it ?
[17:15] <paule_> sivaji, did it let you use a blank password?
[17:16] <LjjjL> c369: that will likely not solve the problem, but will allow you to use synclient to change and look at the settings on the fly, which is nice
[17:16] <alex_> hi
[17:16] <paule_> Marfi, the user sets the password during installation
[17:16] <phrostbite> I have a samsung mp3 player and it does not want to show up as connected. I was told to download gparted. Now what do i need to do?
[17:16] <Shish_> keyboard deactivates when i change brightness level on desktop... how can i fix this? besides not changing brightness level! lol...
[17:16] <alex_> ??
[17:16] <Dr_willis> sivaji,  no idea..  perhaps backup all data.. (some how?) and reformat the card..
[17:16] <Q-FUNK> howdy!  since a couple of days, Firefox started to open into full-screen mode by default, on both intrepid and jaunty.  is there any known cure?
[17:16] <alex_> wahts this?
[17:16] <OceanX> lead injection
[17:16] <alex_> whats this?
[17:16] <Marfi> paule_, i know that. i use a live disk for data recovery whenever i have to pull data off of a bum hard drive. i was gone for 15 minutes (past the sudo time) and tried to sudo -i, and i couldn't get in
[17:17] <Neconide> temppy: I'm back to annoy you :D.... could you give me that link again, haha.
[17:17] <vasy> hi
[17:17] <Neconide> hi, vasy.
[17:17] <paule_> Marfi, oh thought you meant an a hard disk install, not the live disk
[17:18] <Marfi> paule_, hehe, np
[17:18] <temppy> Neconide: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=hardy&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=ndiswrapper
[17:18] <Neconide> temppy: Thanks <3
[17:19] <pronoy> hey !! little help with the sound input please ......really appreciate it ?
[17:19] <reqqit> is it a known issue that when a laptop powersaves the screen in a fullscreen app it sometimes doesn't come back?
[17:19] <Marfi> whats the problem pronoy ?
[17:20] <reqqit> I am running something fullscreen, and the powersaving kicked in (stupid &*&&*$& &$*&$) ok it is back now... cool
[17:20] <reqqit> it paused for like 4 minutes, but kicked in on next screen refresh
[17:20] <Neconide> Peaceeeeee.
[17:20] <egoflux> are there any generic type sound equalizers or are they specific to certain sound cards?
[17:20] <reqqit> but damn slow now
[17:20] <histo> reqqit, what are you running fullscreen?
[17:21] <LjjjL> egoflux, generally it's the audio playing programs which (may) come with an equalizer function
[17:21] <vallhalla81> hi there can some one help me connect to my pc using ssh i have it setup but cant connect and am unsure if it is my pc or the one i am trying to connect from
[17:21] <gammy> egoflux: Basically you're out of luck.
[17:21] <hololight> reqqit: nvidia drivers?
[17:21] <paule_> Marfi, hmm this is an interesting question if you have not set the password yet with the live cd
[17:22] <lysium> vallhalla81: what happens if you try to connect with ssh?
[17:22] <histo> vallhalla81, are you trying to connect on the local network or through a router
[17:22] <c369> LjjjL, the line you posted still gives me a VertEdgeScroll of 60, despite the value in my xconf.org; when invoking <synclient VertEdgeScroll=0> I get the result I wanted though - any clue why that could be?
[17:22] <gammy> egoflux: No soundsystem has a program-specific equalizer. Pulseaudio supports a system-wide equalized but it isn't graphical and is somewhat complex to set up
[17:22] <lucax> how can i find out what driver is xorg using?
[17:22] <Marfi> paule_, i've never had to set a password. i just thought that it was interesting in the fact that it wouldn't let me sudo -i from the live disk. =)
[17:22] <gammy> egoflux: Basically, either find a program that has a builtin equalizer, or buy a hardware equalizer. It's sad, pathetic, annoying but that's basically how it is.
[17:22] <limecat> hi, really quick question--im using a USB to Serial converter, how do i find out what device it is in /dev?
[17:23] <pronoy> HELLO !!
[17:23] <LjjjL> c369: err but it's VertScrollDelta not VertEdgeScroll
[17:23] <limecat> it shows up in lsusb and everything...
[17:23] <egoflux> that sux man...
[17:23] <Marfi> hi pronoy
[17:23] <vallhalla81> histo: thrue a router but port is forwarded
[17:23] <paule_> Marfi, it should let you do that after boot, although it might stop working if you logout first
[17:23] <egoflux> anyways...amarok has one so i'm good
[17:23] <gammy> egoflux: On the flipside, no other os has system-wide equalization as far as I know.
[17:23] <histo> vallhalla81, are you getting an error or anything?
[17:23] <mulle> mulle
[17:23] <Marfi> paule_, thats what i was figuring. ah well, must just be a glitch. =)
[17:23] <loller> can somebody tell me iif in case i now update vmware from 1.0.6 to 1.0.7 will my already installed virtual machine run ?
[17:23] <paule_> Marfi, or set a password for the default ubuntu account
[17:23] <vallhalla81> histo: no just nothing at all
[17:23] <limecat> nvm ^_^
[17:23] <pronoy> Marfi: i meant HELLO !! CAN ANYONE HELP ME types....but anyways.....hi marfi :)
[17:24] <lucax> i need to know what driver is xorg using... how do i do that?
[17:24] <darkhamm> hey people, i share my partition with samba with XBMC, every time i'm try to open some avi new in partition with XBMC, i can't open , i must type a chmod to the file to open it. how can i build an ext3 partition for share everything everytime in everymode?
[17:24] <paule_> Marfi, does sudo -i not work at all with the livecd?
[17:24] <Marfi> pronoy, whats the problem? working on a computer atm
[17:24] <arpi> Paule_ It was proprietary driver problem I just forgot to restart my computer disabling it. Ok so can I make this proprietary driver work properly?
[17:24] <reqqit> histo, urban terror :p hololight : erm, I am running this on an Acer Aspire ONE :p (ubuntu 8.10, 1.5gb ram)
[17:24] <Marfi> paule_, it does, but after 15 minutes it doesn't
[17:24] <histo> vallhalla81, can you ping the machine and also on the machine try running netstat -ta and see if the port is listening
[17:24] <c369> LjjjL, oh funny, so I should have put VertEdgeScroll in my xorg.conf :) so I just confused the variables - thanks!
[17:24] <JFactor> Hello, I am using Hardy with an Hp Pavillion dv9000, I have just recently obtained the new VLC and was wondering if there is a way to get the remote control of the laptop to work with this program.
[17:25] <Marfi> paule_, but as long as i have a rootshell, it can sit forever like that
[17:25] <paule_> Marfi, one way to do that is by setting a password for default account
[17:25] <reqqit> loading the app was LIGHTENING fast, and the menus... but after the screen blackout, everything is dog slow. hrm.
[17:25] <Dr_willis> JFactor,  i got a similer remote.. not tried to use it yet. :)  its possible it works with  that remote software.. but ive not  had time to researchit. (i forget the name of the remote software)
[17:25] <Marfi> paule_, ah, ok. gotcha
[17:25] <harvey> Hi all, I recently upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and now VLC and movieplayer doesnt work even though it worked before. I've added every codec there is, been in every tutorial there is and still nothing? What is going on does anyone know ?   And more importantly can anyone point me in the right direction?
[17:26] <pronoy> lucax: you need to do this in your terminal /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:26] <paule_> arpi, aha, interesting, well look and see if there are tweaks needed for the proprietary driver, or alternate versions
[17:26] <gammy> harvey: What is the error?
[17:26] <Marfi> harvey, go through synaptic and do a complete remove of both of them, then reinstall. its probably a config file for them somewhere
[17:26] <aoupi> harvey: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[17:26] <harvey> yes aoupi
[17:26] <gammy> harvey: WHAT is the error.
[17:26] <hololight> reqqit: I was having a similar problem with nvidia prop. drivers... does switching to a virtual console and then back again help?
[17:26] <harvey> ok marfi thats what i thought, i'll try that
[17:27] <Fende> posible bug on ubuntu-8-10
[17:27] <vallhalla81> histo: yes it is listerning
[17:27] <Fende> start eclipse
[17:27] <Fende> stop eclipse
[17:27] <Fende> run top
[17:27] <Fende> eclipse si runing?
[17:27] <FloodBot1> Fende: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:27] <paule_> Marfi, yeah its a bit strange the way the sudo is disabled, but at least it won't log you out of a root shell ;)
[17:27] <Daejeo> hello guys :)
[17:27] <gammy> Solving problems by not learning anything on the way..great.
[17:27] <arpi> Paule_OK thanks again for the help.
[17:27] <harvey> the error is that vlc just shuts down straight away with any file i try to play...
[17:27] <histo> vallhalla81, then it should be answering. just ssh <ip of machine thats listening>  .
[17:27] <aoupi> harvey: try deleting your vlc config files, they are in ~/.config/vlc
[17:27] <paule_> arpi, sure good luck, if you don't care about 3d you could ignore it :)
[17:27] <Marfi> paule_, agreed. and im usually sitting at the computer when im working on it, and start before the 15 min thing
[17:28] <harvey> ok thanks i'll do that
[17:28] <histo> vallhalla81, you can try sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart on the server to reload ssh daemon perhaps its hung.
[17:28] <JFactor> is that program lirc?
[17:28] <aoupi> harvey: if that doesn't work, run vlc from the terminal, you should get some output that might tell what's wrong
[17:28] <harvey> thanks for this help by the way, would never have thought of that...
[17:28] <paule_> Marfi, if it is not convenient maybe it will be changed in the future
[17:29] <Marfi> paule_, meh, ah well. CD is working fine for me now. =)
[17:29] <nikitis> Hey i need some help installing grub and mapping harddrives.  I have a pretty complex setup.
[17:29] <nikitis> Anyone?
[17:29] <Daejeo> some people are trying to get in box on ssh. http://pastebin.com/m484bf2e4  how can keep them of? can i allow login from certain ips?
[17:29] <Marfi> paule_, or not
[17:29] <Marfi> hmmz
[17:29] <ljuwaidah> hi
[17:29] <ljuwaidah> i did something stupid today
[17:29] <aoupi> Daejeo: an easy way is to change the port you run ssh on
[17:29] <ljuwaidah> i purged some package and it removed like 20 packages in the process
[17:29] <aoupi> Daejeo: most automated attacks just try port 22
[17:29] <Marfi> Ljungmann, sudo rm -r /*?
[17:30] <ljuwaidah> luckily, i got to install them back
[17:30] <ljuwaidah> but now blueman has no services other than file transfere
[17:30] <Daejeo> aoupi: :) thank you for your advise.  what port number should i use?
[17:30] <aoupi> Daejeo: whichever you like :) 222 is easy to remember
[17:31] <Daejeo> is it hard to find with namap?
[17:31] <erUSUL> !ops | Marfi
[17:31] <MnkD> ola
[17:31] <Daejeo> nmap*?
[17:31] <plutarcus> hi all
[17:31] <MnkD> 1on1cb cod2
[17:31] <Daejeo> port scanning ?
[17:31] <ace808> Hi all.  I have a major issue with my newly instaled 8.10 machine.  I was using 7.04 for a long time here in the office, but now that I upgraded, all of the switches are 'attacked' whenever I log in.  I'm configured for a static IP.  They're going to shut down my connection if this keeps happening
[17:31] <ljuwaidah> i think i have an idea for the "ubuntu brainstorm" thing
[17:31] <MnkD> 1on1 cbcod2
[17:31] <Marfi> erUSUL, ?
[17:32] <plutarcus> i have a trouble with ati driver, can someone help me_
[17:32] <aoupi> Daejeo: it'd be found if someone actualy scanned you and connected to all open ports to see what's running
[17:32] <Flannel> !danger | Marfi
[17:32] <MnkD> 1on1 cb cod2
[17:32] <Marfi> Flannel, lol, i know. i was asking him if thats what he did
[17:32] <aoupi> Daejeo: but since I changed port I havn't gotten any weird connections
[17:32] <erUSUL> Marfi: that command is really dangerous and someone may just copy paste it from here
[17:32] <ace808> What service can I disable to prevent it from happening
[17:32] <Flannel> Marfi: Yes.  And thats why you shouldn't say it.
[17:32] <reqqit> w00t lol, I was running urban terror, thinking, ok performance, and I realised I was running a 36mb system update in the background, and it was configuring everything
[17:33] <LF|Irssi> whois ruler
[17:33] <Marfi> aight, my bad yall. =)
[17:33] <MnkD> hi all
[17:33] <LF|Irssi> oops

[17:33] <Fende> posible bug on ubuntu-8-10, start eclipse, stop eclipse, run top, eclipse is runing. This is a bug. (

[17:33] <Fende> I'm sorry is not English
[17:33] <aboSamoor> I can not get any audio file playing using mplayer, totem, or rhythmbox ? any idea. They were working the last time I used the desktop !!!
[17:33] <Marfi> loller, is it a tar.gz?
[17:34] <gammy> Fende: No that's just java being lame as usual! :)
[17:34] <loller> Marfi deb
[17:34] <leandro_> Alguem fala portugues?
[17:34] <aoupi> Fende: report it on launchpad
[17:34] <sako> i am having a problem with document viewer, the side panel on the left is not resizing, i accidentally made it huge and it wont go back to normal
[17:34] <Marfi> loller, just double click it then. .deb is to ubuntu as .exe is to windows
[17:34] <aoupi> Fende: search to see it isn't reported first :)
[17:34] <sdfsd> aboSamoor: try restart

[17:34] <darkhamm> hey people, i share my partition with samba with XBMC, every time i'm try to open some avi new in partition with XBMC, i can't open , i must type a chmod to the file to open it. how can i build an ext3 partition for share everything everytime in everymode?
[17:34] <x2o> hi i my ubuntu often doesnt recognize new cds and shows the old names
[17:35] <Daejeo> Daejeo: is there any kind of parameters in ssh that can be used to keep the trafic off?
[17:35] <aoupi> !bug | Fende
[17:35] <loller> Marfi yes i already done this but it doesn`t apply to view
[17:35] <Fende> thanks aoupi
[17:35] <Daejeo> aoupi:  is there any kind of parameters in ssh that can be used to keep the trafic off?
[17:35] <x2o> you can "mount /dev/scd0" for data discs but dont know how to treat music discs
[17:35] <loller> Marfi it remains the old theme
[17:35] <sachael> can anyone here ( *box users) recommend a volume control program for the system tray?
[17:35] <aboSamoor> sdfsd: any idea to how find the problem. Because it happens many times
[17:35] <keyhack_afk> off topic question but I have a new case and mobo, and the mobo came with a custom backplate, how do you usually remove the one that is atached to the case?
[17:35] <aoupi> Daejeo: you can whitelist users, with iptables you can also whitelist ips
[17:35] <DasEi> does a restart of gdm/kdm also restart hal or is there another way then rebooting
[17:36] <aoupi> DasEi: sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart
[17:36] <Daejeo> ah iptables, but i need to read first before i use
[17:36] <DasEi> aoupi:thx
[17:36] <temppy> keyhack_afk: (on mine, it just popped out)
[17:36] <Zzeiss> keyhack: just push it inward into the case.
[17:36] <Daejeo> i want to do that i couls do quickly
[17:36] <Neconide> temppy: :( I can't figure this out, the instructions I have are telling me to do something entirely different. I have a modded driver, but that won't work. The real driver is just an .exe that installs it, and it doesn't tell you where it installs the files.
[17:36] <Daejeo> could*
[17:36] <keyhack_afk> temppy: yeah, i can wiggle it a tiny bit, looks like it'll take some work to pry it off
[17:36] <nikitis> Question:  When grub is installed onto a disk hd0 How do you tell it to look for /boot on hd1?
[17:36] <fosco__> DasEi, sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart
[17:37] <Zzeiss> keyhack_afk:  Generally speaking, they aren't screwed in or anything.  Just pop it inward.
[17:37] <aoupi> Daejeo: yea, changing port is quick and effective, but not as bulletproof as whitelisting ip
[17:37] <loller> i`ve installed this theme http://ubuntu.hamdi.web.id/uncategorized/gnomenu-14.html *deb package but i can`t run it any suggestions?
[17:37] <Daejeo> aoupi:  let me change the port
[17:37] <ruler> What is good resouce monitoring program for ubuntu, I need voltage + temperature, thanks
[17:37] <Daejeo> how can i change the port quickly?
[17:37] <aoupi> Daejeo: it's in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[17:38] <temppy> Neconide: can you give me a link to where you got the driver?  maybe I can figure something out...
[17:38] <aoupi> Daejeo: then you restart ssh, sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[17:38] <Neconide> temppy: hold on, I'm using the original disk, I'll try to find it on linksys.com
[17:39] <Neconide> temppy: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_CASupport_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1175239737731&packedargs=sku%3D1175239525540&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=3773156159B03&displaypage=download#versiondetail
[17:40] <Neconide> temppy: and obviously it's version 1.0 because that's the only one available :p
[17:40] <sako> what is the package that has document viewer?
[17:40] <temppy> Neconide: yeah, im d/l'in now
[17:40] <nikitis> Question: When grub is installed onto a disk hd0 How do you tell it to look for /boot on hd1?  What are the commands from a live disk?
[17:41] <Neconide> temppy: thanks for the help :D
[17:41] <OceanX> when where what who why how
[17:41] <OceanX> the answer is
[17:41] <aboSamoor> I can not get any audio file playing using mplayer, totem, or rhythmbox ? any idea. They were working the last time I used the desktop !!!
[17:41] <OceanX> 42
[17:41] <Neconide> I'll be right back.
[17:42] <Daejeo> aoupi:  default port 22?
[17:42] <JDStone> are there any limitations with the 64bit version of Ubuntu server?
[17:42] <JDStone> that I should know about?
[17:42] <Daejeo> thats why it is commented
[17:42] <Daejeo> i took off # and changed 2222
[17:42] <hotdog003> Hello. NetworkManager sets my hostname to localhost.localdomain when I start my computer. That's dumb. How do I get it to stop doing that? (It is NM because if I disable it, then it works as usual)
[17:42] <cyberfin> Hiya, I have a problem with my wallpaper... it's disappeared and not coming back. I accessed by vnc and selected disable wallpaper while connected. After deselecting that option nothing happens, it does not come back, just the background color. Any suggestions? Ubuntu 8.10 64b
[17:42] <aoupi> OceanX: now here this us because like this
[17:42] <temppy> Neconide: look under the Drivers folder
[17:43] <jonathanr> hi guys, I've just upgraded to intrepid and when I try to activate the proprietary nvidia drivers a progress bar pops up briefly and then nothing happens, anyone have any ideas why?
[17:43] <Marfi> question, whats the password for the ubuntu user on the live disk?
[17:43] <zenwryly> anyone know where I can get a 8.10 server vmware image>
[17:43] <zenwryly> anyone know where I can get a 8.10 server vmware image?
[17:43] <jimcooncat> JDStone: limitations? not that are imposed by the software, far as I know
[17:43] <aoupi> Marfi: nothing or ubuntu or password or something equaly simple :)
[17:44] <JDStone> okay, cool
[17:44] <JDStone> didn't think so
[17:44] <Marfi> aoupi, thats what i thought. trying to run the live disk and it wants a password, lol
[17:44] <histo> zen_Karoshi, google
[17:44] <jimcooncat> JDStone: what did you mean, really? number of users, connections, etc?
[17:44] <histo> zenwryly, google
[17:45] <Marfi> aoupi, i have honestly never run into this problem
[17:45] <Neconide> temppy: the original disk just has a solid exe, I'll go download it from the site now.
[17:45] <Daejeo> aoupi: i have sshd in init.d
[17:45] <Flannel> Marfi: There is no password.  If enter doesn't work, your disk could be a bad burn (or its not an official Ubuntu one, some of the third party spinoffs have passwords)
[17:45] <temppy> Neconide: yeah, I dunno about that disk.  But the download from the site seems uncompressed, so you shouldn't have a problem, I think
[17:45] <zenwryly> histo: I did do that first, of course
[17:45] <Neconide> temppy: thanks.
[17:46] <Marfi> Flannel, disks should be fine. got the .iso's from canonical via torrent when they first came out. i've also used them for recovery, and this hasn't been a problem
[17:46] <zenwryly> histo: I've found a couple, but don't know if they can be trusted
[17:46] <torito> 149256

[17:46] <cyberfin> *bump Hiya, I have a problem with my wallpaper... it's disappeared and not coming back. I accessed by vnc and selected disable wallpaper while connected. After deselecting that option nothing happens, it does not come back, just the background color. Any suggestions? Ubuntu 8.10 64b
[17:46] <Flannel> Marfi: Have you checked them for defects?
[17:46] <Marfi> Flannel, checksum <pathtoiso>.iso?
[17:47] <JDStone> jimcooncat: got the answer I needed in #ubuntu-server
[17:47] <JDStone> thanks
[17:47] <histo> zenwryly, well I found it http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/ using google
[17:47] <Marfi> Flannel, or just when it boots to run that check?
[17:47] <Fende> aoupi:  eclise works well in kubuto. This is a ubuntu bug.
[17:47] <kopo> Hi! Is there any way to configure Alt+F2-6 buttons in shell?

[17:47] <jonathanr> oh, I've found the solution to my problem, if anyone is interested.. I had "restricted" disabled in software sources
[17:47] <jimcooncat> JDStone: cool. only limitation I got was that I installed on a 4GB machine, and learned I could only use the 64-bit version if I wanted to see all of the ram.
[17:47] <lucax> if i want to use xserver-xorg-i810 i have to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-i810? will that apply changes on xorg?
[17:47] <Flannel> Marfi: yes
[17:47] <kishni> how install driver for vimicro usb pc cam on ubuntu 8.10?
[17:48] <kopo> I'd like to run some commands under function keys
[17:48] <Flannel> Marfi: that is, from the boot thing.
[17:48] <kopo> ö
[17:48] <Marfi> Flannel, running now. will give an update shortly
[17:49] <jimcooncat> kishni: just try it with camorama or cheese without installing a driver -- it might just work
[17:49] <dvyjones> I'm trying to extract a dmg file. file foo.dmg says "VAX COFF executable not stripped - version 376". Any idea how to extract / mount it?
[17:49] <Marfi> dvyjones, why do you need a .dmg? thats a mac file
[17:49] <OceanX> i fallen
[17:49] <OceanX> and i cant get up
[17:50] <OceanX> send help
[17:50] <kishni> thanks jimcooncat
[17:50] <jimcooncat> OceanX: and you have an IRC client on your necklace.
[17:50] <dvyjones> Marfi: Going to burn it for a friend... She has no idea how to burn them :P
[17:50] <Marfi> dvyjones, is it for her mac?
[17:50] <lucax> i was using xserver-xorg-intel wanted to change to xserver-xorg-i810 i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-i810 is that enough for changing drivers??
[17:51] <OceanX> i mindtalk to internet
[17:51] <dvyjones> Marfi: It is indeed...
[17:51] <anubis> would someone mind telling me how to change my default display manager?  For some reason this system boots up with a box that says Debian and won't allow me to change the default display manager.
[17:51] <Marfi> Flannel, did the scan and it said there was an error in 1 file. i've used the image before...any ideas?
[17:51] <OceanX> via my neighbors aircracked
[17:51] <Guest15888> does sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ubuntu version 8.04 to 8.10 or does it just update 8.04? (do i need to change sources.list and then do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade to 8.10)?
[17:51] <OceanX> ah screw it
[17:51] <Marfi> dvyjones, just burn the .dmg to a disk as is. on the mac, she will be able to double click it and it will auto mount in the mac
[17:51] <OceanX> it's almost lunch time
[17:52] <Flannel> !upgrade | Guest15888

[17:53] <nikitis> Question: When grub is installed onto a disk hd0 How do you tell it to look for /boot on hd1?
[17:53] <Flannel> Marfi: Try burning another CD at a low speed, 4x or whatnot.  A better burn should fix that problem ( as far as usage prior, I have no idea.  The file with the error obviously only affects the stuff using that file, apparently the liveCD's password stuff)
[17:53] <Guest15888> lucax, ubottu, actually i dont wanna upgrade, i just wanna update and i dont want to upgrade accidentally which is why I am asking if doing sudo apt-get dist-upgrade without changing sources.list or anything only updates and not upgrades
[17:53] <Marfi> Flannel, happened with the ubuntu and xubuntu disk
[17:53] <aoupi> Daejeo: that's it
[17:54] <lucax> Guest15888, ok if dont want to upgrade to 8.10 just do sudo apt-get update (that will update sources) then sudo apt-get upgrade will apply updates for packages on installed version of ubuntu...

[17:55] <fosco__> atmosfer, sudo apt-get install rar unrar
[17:56] <lucax> Guest15888, is that what u were asking?
[17:56] <cexpert1> All, added PostGres to my Server but restart blows.  Anyone know how to diagnose this?
[17:56] <oomph> what do people consider the main advantage of using Ubuntu over Debian?
[17:56] <savage2> where can I find the open office irc chat?
[17:56] <Guest15888> lucax, o so apt-get dist-upgrade isnt a valid command because thats what you do in debian
[17:56] <aoupi> Daejeo: can you ssh -p 2222 localhost?
[17:56] <lucax> atmosfer, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and dont worry about anything else!
[17:56] <oomph> I'm trying to decide between the two
[17:56] <Daejeo> let me try
[17:56] <magnetron> oomph→ the main advantage is all the lovely questions we get in this channel
[17:56] <Flannel> Guest15888: It is a valid command.  And that'll give you up-to-date packages.  But without other actions, it wont move you from 8.04 to 8.10.
[17:56] <Daejeo> i have another trminal open
[17:56] <TBotNik> Oh server version is 7.10
[17:57] <lucax> Guest15888, update and upgrade after sudo apt-get upgrade or update thats all
[17:57] <Flannel> Guest15888: And, in regards to those other actions, there are better ways to do it.
[17:57] <dvyjones> oomph: Ubuntu has newer software in the respositories
[17:57] <SpriteSODA> is there any chance my problem wont be in Fedora?

[17:57] <peerlessdeepak> Hi
[17:57] <anubis> Would someone mind telling me how to reset my default display manager?  The F6 option no longer appears.
[17:57] <oomph> dvyjones, is that pretty much it?
[17:57] <peerlessdeepak> this is deepak.. I got a problem with my rootfs
[17:58] <raven> magnetron, i have an ntfs that i shrunk from 215 to 170GB, and it errors, but the free space is present, if i ntfsfix that partition the space is tacked back onto the partition - ideas?
[17:58] <dvyjones> oomph: I would say ubuntu for desktops, debian for servers.
[17:58] <peerlessdeepak> My rootfs is 96% full now .. i got free space in other partitions
[17:58] <peerlessdeepak> can i merge those free partitions with the rootfs?
[17:58] <oomph> dvyjones, that's kind of the impression that I got
[17:58] <dvyjones> oomph: That's about what I know. There might be some differences in look etc...
[17:58] <aoupi> peerlessdeepak: ouch... you can resize partitions
[17:59] <kishni> camorama not working(could not connect to video device "/dev/video0"  what now?
[17:59] <peerlessdeepak> aoupi how to do it?
[17:59] <aoupi> peerlessdeepak: in the mean time you cat run sudo apt-get clean, that might give you a few hundred megs
[17:59] <anubis> Would someone mind telling me how to reset my default display manager?  The F6 option no longer appears.
[17:59] <aoupi> peerlessdeepak: start the livecd and somewhere in the system menu you'll have partition editor

My /boot on /dev/sdb already has the information needed to boot the ubuntu and windows install.  But I need grub to be installed on /dev/sda mbr and point to /boot on /dev/sdb.  How do I go about doing this?

[18:02] <metho> anyone
[18:02] <supercom32> raven: I don't think I would know how to compile from source, let alone get all the dependancys to do so.
[18:03] <lorsstudio> i am trying to copy some files via rsync, but some files can't be copied because of characters in the filenames. i think it has to do with the text character encoding. how i can resolve this issue?
[18:03] <nikitis> Nobody smart enough to answer that?
[18:04] <raven> supercom32, compiling from source is easy, but if u haave debs, run "sudo apt-get build-dep vlc", then "dpkg -i your-deb.deb"
[18:04] <Neconide> raven, supercom32, or you can just use a package manager?
[18:04] <aoupi> lorsstudio: check the --iconv option for rsync
[18:04] <metho> can anyone answer my question please, is xfi sound card supported under linux??
[18:05] <raven> Neconide, package managers r for the terminal challenged :(
[18:05] <Neconide> raven, package managers are easymode. and easymode = less work. and less work = neconide is happy. and neconide is happy = win.
[18:05] <raven> terminals = hax, hax = leet, leet = raven happy, raven happy = more win

[18:06] <raven> it works
[18:06] <aoupi> peerlessdeepak: no, resizing a partition you use isn't very good :)
[18:06] <Neconide> supercom32: so install a package manager, go look in the apps section on ubuntu.com, or I'll go fetch it if you're lazy.
[18:06] <supercom32> raven: will this get the latest dependancys or those that were needed at the time of 0.8.6?

[18:23] <beege> DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/74876/
[18:24] <ikonia> unitedpotsmokers: you need a machine that has access to those services to act a as a proxy, do you have such a machine ?
[18:24] <amikrop> talntid: Miro is not for live streaming anymore?

[18:25] <beege> DasEi: sda1, the NTFS partition. should be about 80GB, right?

[18:44] <bauer_> guys, when i try to install a new version of firefox it keeps telling me i am on version 3 beta 5, im assuming there is a full release for ubtunu by now.... any ideas as to why its not getting the proper one?
[18:44] <unitedpotsmokers> i forgot.. what the command to get update , and do the update
[18:44] <unitedpotsmokers> pls help
[18:44] <Flannel> bauer_: You're using Gutsy?
[18:44] <Flannel> unitedpotsmokers: Use update-manager
[18:44] <bauer_> erm, think so, im kinda new to this
[18:45] <Flannel> unitedpotsmokers: Or synaptic package manager.
[18:45] <ikonia> bauer_ how did you install firefox in the first place
[18:45] <DasEi> unitedpotsmokers:sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[18:45] <unitedpotsmokers> i using hardy
[18:45] <Flannel> bauer_: did you recently install your system?
[18:45] <Neconide> !firefox | bauer_
[18:45] <bauer_> nah its quite old now, a few months ive just started using it
[18:45] <dvyjones> Is there an easy way to automatically click the button named "Foo" in every dialog box popping up on a software?
[18:45] <unitedpotsmokers> thanks DasEi
[18:45] <Flannel> Neconide: That's not necessary.
[18:45] <ikonia> bauer_ how did you install firefox in the first place
[18:45] <Flannel> bauer_: Ah.  Well, you'd likely appreciate an upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04 then.  It'll have Firefox 3
[18:45] <temppy> Neconide: I don't think I can
[18:46] <bauer_> i installed it by doing
[18:46] <bauer_> sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0
[18:46] <ikonia> bauer_: what version of ubuntu are you on ?
[18:46] <bauer_> and im sure there is a command to tell me what version i am on isnt there?
[18:46] <bauer_> of ubuntu i mean
[18:46] <ikonia> bauer_: lsb_release -a
[18:46] <Flannel> bauer_: lsb_release -a
[18:47] <bauer_> im on hardy 8.04
[18:47] <Neconide> temppy: I just don't really get what I'm supposed to do/where I'm supposed to go to set it up.
[18:47] <ikonia> bauer_: something is wrong then, as hardy has 8.04 installed fine firefox 3
[18:47] <ikonia> bauer_: you wouldn't have to do apt-get install firefox-3 on 8.04
[18:47] <bauer_> well it has firefox 3, but its telling me its the beta 5 version
[18:47] <Neconide> temppy: mostly because I've read countless articles for help with this shitty WUSB600N and they all tell me to do different things.
[18:47] <Flannel> bauer_: Do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[18:48] <temppy> Neconide: well, are you sure its not a wifi card?  I mean, you have a wire running from the card to your router?  usually those cards are supported OOTB
[18:48] <skb0> Has anyone a working config which allows to unmount a usb stick mounted by ivman ? I remove gnome-volume-manager, so it can cause any trouble anymore. When I insert my key, it's perfectly auto-mounted but I can't unmount it later, except using sudo.
[18:48] <Flannel> bauer_: Then you'll be completely up to date.  And if you still have the old firefox, come back and ask about it.
[18:48] <mircmac> using hardy, have wireless, iwconfig show ssid and mac of ap, but can't ping the ap or anything on the other side of ap, wadimiss?
[18:48] <bauer_> will give it a go thanks guys
[18:48] <Neconide> temppy: it's a wireless-n USB adapter
[18:48] <Flannel> bauer_: Actually, we can verify you'll have the new firefox if you do this: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy firefox
[18:48] <Seven_Six_Two> skb0, why can't you unmount it? what is the error?
[18:48] <DShepherd> hi
[18:49] <Chaostos> k guys sorry..i repost my question II my friend need Soundblaster drivers installed...He got them downloaded..as archive XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00.tar.gz HOw to install them from archive ? o_O
[18:49] <dvyjones> A program I have to extract something asks me for each file in a folder if it want me to rename the folder, because it already exists, which is kinda annoying. It would be OK if I could select "Continue All", but there's no button like that. And it also slides off screen sometimes, so I have to drag the window on screen again. Any ways to avoid this? I need either an app to click the button with the label "Continue", or an app to force the box to
[18:49] <bauer_> wierd
[18:49] <ikonia> Chaostos: get your friend to come in so we can work it through with him
[18:49] <bauer_> it didnt download anything or install anything, i must be up to date
[18:49] <ikonia> bauer_: please show me dpkg -l | grep -i firefox
[18:50] <Flannel> bauer_: Alright, pastebin the output of this command please: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy firefox
[18:50] <temppy> Neconide: ah, thats what I thought.  Sorry, I use wifi as short for wireless.  iwconfig is the main command to control a wifi card.  iwconfig alone will list all wifi connections.  You can also use iwlist scan to search for networks
[18:50] <Seven_Six_Two> Chaostos, you need to extract the archive first
[18:50] <FiloSottile> hi, have a live usb pen in persistent mode and in the root of this pen there is "casper-rw", i want to resize it, how can i do?
[18:50] <Chaostos> Seven_Six_Two: k then... ?
[18:50] <FiloSottile> i think that it is an ext3 partition
[18:51] <Neconide> temppy: thank you, I will try that now.
[18:51] <FiloSottile> but it appear as a file
[18:51] <ikonia> Chaostos: get your friend to come in and we can walk him through it
[18:51] <ikonia> Chaostos: it's not a "set" procedure, we need to see results
[18:51] <Seven_Six_Two> there should be instructions in the INSTALL or README, and we can help too of course.
  i would try gpartd
[18:52] <bauer_> never used pastebin before, i just posted it on that pastebin site
[18:52] <bauer_> not sure how or where though :_)

 I've never had a usb pen with lin on it before, can you give me a little detail? Is it like (or is it exactly) a .iso type image stored on the pen?
[18:54] <FiloSottile> OxDeadC0de: no, no, on the pen there are syslinux, the kernel and this file, where the persistent configs are saved
[18:55] <mircmac> using hardy, have wireless, iwconfig show ssid and mac of ap, but can't ping the ap or anything on the other side of ap
[18:55] <FiloSottile> it is 1gb big, because when creating pen i specified this size
 do you know what type of "file" it is? a gziped archive or what?
[18:56] <FiloSottile> hmmm moment
[18:57] <FiloSottile> it is a file containing an ext3 file system

[18:58] <phoenixz> I printed a document yesterday, and halfway during printing I pulled the network cable. and then shutdown the computer. Now that I rebooted, I keep having 2 processes called "socket" running as user lp which both take some 99% CPU, When I kill -9 then (kill normal wont do anythihg) they return a few seconds later. I think this is related to the print action (user lp?) how can I fix this?!
[18:59] <c0re_> wos,  what is conduit?
[18:59] <Neconide> wos: please explain your problem with a little more detail.
[18:59] <Flannel> !anyone | wos
[19:00] <Neconide> temppy: got any ideas?
[19:00] <temppy> Neconide: eth0 is probably a built in wired connection.  It sounds like the drivers aren't modprobing properly or something.  I really don't know.  Maybe its because you are using 64bit ubuntu?  Other than that, I'm out of ideas.  Sorry, and good luck
[19:00] <wos> Neconide: Flannel: i dont know how to synchronize with conduit. i dont know how to find a provider that will let me synchronize data with them.
[19:01] <wos> i dont know how to synchronize with conduit. i dont know how to find a provider that will let me synchronize data with them. could someone help me with this?
[19:02] <ikonia> wos: what are you trying to syncronize
[19:02] <Neconide> wos: I was just suggesting you explain your question with a little more detail as FLannel noted, I don't know what Conduit it, sorry. There's got to be someone out there who had the same problem.

[19:05] <wiehan> does anyone know of a good linux distro which could as a caching server for http, etc, and offer some "auditing" as to monitor which user uses more ADSL cap?
[19:05] <wos> ikonia i dont know how to  find a service provider
[19:05] <metbsd> i installed kubuntu but it shows ubuntu?
[19:05] <ikonia> wos: we can't help with that
[19:05] <ikonia> wos: you have to find your provider
[19:05] <supercom32> If I  have debs all in the same folder, how do I install them at the same time so if dependancys are required they can find each other?
[19:05] <mircmac> wifi radar says my laptop is connected to an access point, ssid & MAC shown is correct, but no access to local or internet what am I missing?
[19:05] <Pici> metbsd: They are one in the same
[19:05] <LjL> wiehan, this is the *Ubuntu* support channel, not the "recommend a Linux distribution" channel... try asking ##linux perhaps
[19:05] <supercom32> can I use a wild card like  * to install?
[19:05] <ikonia> supercom32: no
[19:06] <wos> ikonia what KIND of provider am i looking for though, can you help me answer that question?
[19:06] <LjL> ikonia: why not?
[19:06] <ikonia> ljl apt-get install * ?
[19:06] <yariii> Hi. I have a problem. I first installed Ununtu, and then Windows. Now I do not have GRUB as bootloader and I wish to install it again. I tried 'grub-install /dev/sda5' (which is the Ubuntu partition) but that gives a error. What shall I do/
[19:06] <supercom32> ikonia: so how does it work?
[19:06] <Neconide> ikonia: My WUSB600N wireless-n USB adapter works with vista (I'm dual booting). I installed the XP64bit version and it didn't work, so I installed the vista32 bit version and the drivers installed fine. It doesn't display eth0 or whatever under ifconfig or iwconfig. iwlist scan doesn't work because it's not listed. The light for the USB device does not ever go on when I'm in Ubuntu.
[19:06] <LjL> ikonia: no, but he's got *.debs* in a folder, so dpkg -i *
[19:06] <RenacNes> hi
[19:06] <ikonia> LjL ahh I missed that part
[19:06] <LjL> ikonia: (well, dpkg -i *.deb would be a much better idea of course)
[19:07] <supercom32> LjL: in that case would all debs see each other for dependacy related issues?
[19:07] <mckulja_> Hello all... Please help me... I have problem with my sound driver... i cant install them. the file format is tar.gz
[19:07] <Neconide> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/74880/ - that's where it installed fine, but it isn't displayed under ifconfig.
[19:07] <Chaostos> yee..atlast mcK )
[19:07] <bluedragonpiper> General question: what should I do if aptitude fails to fetch a package (404)?
[19:07] <yariii> anyone_
[19:07] <yariii> ?
[19:07] <LjL> supercom32: i think they do, but if they don't, you just need to repeat the command a couple of times until it stops complaining
[19:08] <wos> ikonia what *kind* of provider am i looking for though, can you help me answer that question?
[19:08] <ikonia> wos: depends what data you want to sync and what program is needed to sync it
[19:08] <LjL> bluedragonpiper: that depends. 404 means the file is just not there. show us your /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:08] <Neconide> ikonia: any ideas?
[19:08] <JediMaster> is there a prefered way of adding a second (or more) ip to an interface?
[19:08] <Xx> Hey!  I just  installed arch on hda and I have gutsy on hdb,  I edited the grub menu.lst file to include arch and gutsy but now when I try to boot up ubuntu it just hangs at the loading bar and puts me into the "BusyBox v1.1.3 shell"  does anyone know whats wrong?
[19:08] <ikonia> Neconide: that card comes up as unsupported
[19:08] <wos> ikonia i just want to sync my tomboy notes for a start
[19:08] <mckulja_>  Please help me... I have problem with my sound driver... i cant install them. the file format is tar.gz
[19:08] <JediMaster> I've added another entry in /etc/network/interfaces (on a sever) as eth0:1
[19:08] <ikonia> JediMaster: ifconfig eth0:0
[19:08] <ikonia> wos: sync against what program
[19:09] <JediMaster> or 0:0 I guess =)
[19:09] <JediMaster> ta
[19:09] <wos> ikonia tomboy notes
[19:09] <Neconide> ikonia: I know, but I've heard that plenty of people got it to work in ndiswrapper after a bit of tweaking.
[19:09] <aewfa> So, there's a package I want to install from gutsy-backports, but I don't want any other packages from backports to be suggested as replacements for other packages I have installed. How can I do this?
[19:09] <LjL> mckulja_: what soundcard?
[19:09] <ldiamond2> Is there a way I can shutdown my computer without having access to it? (SSH and Telnet failed, anything is enabled by default in ubuntu?)
[19:09] <ay^> mckulja_: probably that is a source tar-ball! you need to unpack it and then compile it
[19:09] <ikonia> wos: what backend program is needed to sync tomboy notes ?
[19:09] <LjL> !backports > aewfa    (aewfa, see the private message from ubottu)
[19:09] <ikonia> wos: I've never heard of anyone syncing tomboy notes
[19:09] <mckulja_> Ljl Soundblaster
[19:09] <angelo> Does anyone know how i can block an ip for xx minutes/hours through iptables?
[19:09] <wos> ikonia i dont know what  a backend program is
[19:10] <LjL> mckulja_: soundblaster what?
[19:10] <aewfa> thanks LjL
[19:10] <ikonia> wos: you need a "server" at the other end that knows how to sync the application you want
[19:10] <Xx> Hey!  I just  installed arch on hda and I have gutsy on hdb,  I edited the grub menu.lst file to include arch and gutsy but now when I try to boot up ubuntu it just hangs at the loading bar and puts me into the "BusyBox v1.1.3 shell"  does anyone know whats wrong?
[19:10] <Pici> wos: You could try asking in the official conduit channel: #conduit on irc.gimp.org
[19:10] <Neconide> ikonia: is the linksys WUSB11 v2.0 supported?
[19:10] <LjL> ldiamond2: no
[19:10] <mckulja_> LjL: SoundBlaster X-Fi XtremeGamer
[19:10] <ldiamond2> :(
[19:10] <ikonia> Neconide no idea, my advice is stay clear of usb wirless cards
[19:10] <wos> ikonia yes im aware, but what kind of server? what exactly is it im looking for?
[19:10] <Neconide> ikonia: they're all I can use :[
[19:11] <ikonia> wos: http://boyd.musipal.com/2007/06/tomboy-note-sync-demo.html
[19:11] <metbsd> so i can't access windows share
[19:11] <Xx> you might have to use ndiswrapper ikonia,  do you have the driver cd?
[19:11] <mckulja_> ay^ i have extracted the file... but dont know what to do after
[19:11] <wos> thanks
[19:11] <ikonia> wos: I have no idea I've never heard of anyone syncing tomboy notes
[19:11] <Pici> wos: You can only use things that conduit has connectors for.
[19:11] <ikonia> Xx: I never advise ndiswrapper,
[19:11] <metbsd> i can see work group, but when i connect to it, i get time out
[19:11] <Pici> ikonia: conduit has the ability to sync those.
[19:11] <wos> pici what do you mean
[19:11] <skb0> Seven_Six_Two : the error is "cannot open /media/.hal-matb". Moreover, If i create a new empty document with Nautlius, I can't delete it (it's owned by ivman, but the perms should allow me to). In a terminal, no trouble (without sudo !)
[19:11] <Gnea> welp, so far this ubuntustudio box has taken a distinct liking to the gutsy->hardy upgrade... now to see how it does with the hardy->ibex upgrade
[19:11] <mckulja_> LjL SoundBlaster X-Fi XtremeGamer
[19:11] <ikonia> Pici: check the link I've just sent him
[19:11] <Pici> wos: Have you actually installed conduit yet?
[19:11] <JediMaster> I'm trying to run ventrilo server on my ubuntu server, it was working fine until I put my second IP, it now binds itself to that, even though the manual clearly states that it binds to all IPs and there's no way of changing it, anyone have any ideas?
[19:11] <Xx> well for some cards thats your only option
[19:11] <ay^> !compile | mckulja_
[19:11] <wos> pici yes
[19:12] <danielm_mc> anyone know how to disable the f1 key from displaying the help menu in a terminal?
[19:13] <mau> Hello. I have a computer with ubuntu installed and would like to shrink its partition to make space for Windows. How can I do it?
[19:13] <LjL> mckulja_: it will be pretty complicated to install those drivers, as the x-fi is as of yet unsupported
[19:13] <Xx> so when i try to load up ubuntu now it hangs for a while at the loading bar and drops my into the BusyBox shell,  how do I get it working again?
[19:13] <gpled> will their be an update option for going to 8.10 ?
[19:13] <mau> Is there any spacial cd to boot from?
[19:13] <mau> special
[19:13] <Pici> wos: Each node can sent to some other node, I don't think theres the ability to add custom nodes.  So look at the providers that it can talk to and sign up with them.
[19:13] <ikonia> !upgrade > gpled
[19:13] <LjL> !upgrade | gpled
[19:13] <DasEi> mau: use gparted from live
[19:13] <Pici> wos: http://lifehacker.com/398775/sync-and-back-up-your-data-with-conduit-for-linux
[19:14] <mckulja_> LjL but i have downloaded already an official driver... but its opens like archive... ;(
[19:14] <wos> thanks pici, what search terms did you use to find that?
[19:14] <Pici> wos: conduit sync
[19:14] <danielm_mc> anyone know how to disable the f1 key from displaying the help menu in a terminal?
[19:14] <LjL> mckulja_: that's because it *is* an archive. it probably contains install instructions, you need to follow those.
[19:14] <wos> ok
[19:14] <wos> thanks
[19:16] <keyhack> The Live USB creator is going extremely slow, is there a way I can make a bootable USB drive that will let me do a net install of Ubuntu 7.10?
[19:16] <danielm_mc> anyone know how to disable the f1 key from displaying the help menu in a terminal?
[19:16] <mckulja_> LjL instruction that tottaly suck ;) there is writen - 1) Goto source directory 2) Execute make command as root  make  make install.... But i'm new on ubuntu and dont know how to do it
[19:17] <vlitzer> anyone knows why sometimes keys dont work in flash on firefox?
[19:17] <ikonia> mckulja_: you dont know how to type "make" ?
[19:17] <danielm_mc> oh brilliance
[19:17] <danielm_mc> you guys are about zero help
[19:17] <ikonia> danielm_mc: whats up ?
[19:17] <gpled> thanks
[19:17] <Khisanth> hrm a bunch of stuff seems to have been broken in 8.04 after the last bunch of updates
[19:17] <Neconide> danielm_mc: What seems to be the problem?
[19:18] <danielm_mc> anyone know how to disable the f1 key from displaying the help menu in a terminal?
[19:18] <crweb> Khisanth: really?  I haven't noticed anything
[19:18] <crweb> Khisanth: any examples?
[19:18] <mckulja_> ikonia i typed make... gush... what after
[19:18] <ikonia> danielm_mc: modmap
[19:18] <Khisanth> crweb: shares-admin, no way to Unlock
[19:18] <ikonia> danielm_mc: xmodmap
[19:18] <danielm_mc> yeah i figured it out
[19:18] <jcmages> where can I download the nvidia-fglrx (the older version ?)
[19:18] <danielm_mc> it's actually easier than that
[19:18] <ikonia> danielm_mc: ok, so why are you asking ?
[19:19] <Neconide> ikonia, danielm_mc: I think he wants to know how to change f1 with modmap
[19:19] <danielm_mc> coz i couldn't figure it out, and the someone in a different room hooked it up
[19:19] <mckulja_> fuck... big help i get
[19:19] <elmnas>  hi guys can someone help me please.  Feel free to ask around, there are some very smart people in here.
[19:22] <BlehTM> Hi, I've been having trouble with Ubuntu and my graphics card, and I was wondering if there was any hope.
[19:22] <elmnas> ok ok
[19:22] <chrizzz> im looking for a good java editor...are there any recommondations ?
[19:22] <tobiassjosten> Can anyone tell me what font is used as default on gnome-terminal? All it say is "monospace" but that's no font. At least none I can access from any other program.
[19:22] <elmnas> thanx anyway
[19:22] <Neconide> BlehTM: what graphics card do you have?
[19:22] <BlehTM> Radeon 3850 512MB
[19:22] <Khisanth> crweb: also the Users and Groups, of course you can still configure things through the config files but that is besides the point
[19:23] <jcmages> blehTM : I have the same problem. I'm searching a place to download the nvidia-flrx drivers.
[19:23] <Neconide> BlehTM: Hold on I'll go check if that's supported.
[19:23] <jackgall> is there any im client for ubuntu that can share files with google talk on windows ?
[19:23] <_Ire> any1 know where boost_1_37_0 installs to?
[19:23] <BlehTM> Ok, thanks.
[19:24] <Neconide> BlehTM: please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/graphics-cards.html
[19:24] <gogaz_> hi
[19:24] <paul678> ikonia: can you kick my other nick so that I can change back to it thanks
[19:24] <BlehTM> Ok, thanks I'll check it out.
[19:24] <Neconide> BlehTM: if I'm correct radeon is a subcatagory of ATIs
[19:24] <BlehTM> Yes
[19:24] <jcmages> It works nice in Xubuntu, since it let te possibility to install the oldest version of nvidia-fglrx (the 96) But in Ubuntu 8.04, the Proprietary driver pannel doesnt open
[19:24] <lorsstudio> when I try to view the contents of a directory in the terminal, or through nautilus, some special characters like letters with accent marks on them are not displaying properly
[19:25] <paul678> ikonia:  other nick is paul68
[19:25] <dvyjones> Is there a way to run either OSX or OSX Applications on Linux?
[19:25] <Neconide> BlehTM: alright let me know if that helps you. (and please say Neconide: or neconide, or whatever you wish in front of my name to address it to me. It makes it a lot easier to notice&read)
[19:26] <BlehTM> Neconide:  Ok.  I haven't even installed Ubuntu yet, it's just nothing would even be displayed running from the installation disk until I ran it in safe gfx mode.  I'll install ubuntu and see if I can get it working.
[19:27] <Neconide> BlehTM: Are you planning to dual boot or overwrite whatever OS you currently have?
[19:27] <BlehTM> Dual boot.
[19:27] <Cypress> Greetings all. im looking for a person with a high amount of linux knowledge in general ? ( i need some basic info about linux because im quite new tbh )
[19:27] <Neconide> BlehTM: You have partioned your hard disk accordingly, correct?
[19:28] <dvyjones> Cypress: Just ask for what you want to know...
[19:28] <BlehTM> Neconide:  Sort of.  It will be a bit messy because I made a mistake partitioning Windows.  But it should work.
[19:28] <simond> when building a kernel+modules using make-kpkg, how do I enable stripping? the resulting bundle right now is huuuuge
[19:28] <Cypress> okay well, im looking for a linux that can run on a memory stick, does that exist?
[19:29] <DJones> !usb | Cypress
[19:29] <Neconide> BlehTM: At the install, don't select the "Automatic Partion" Option. That is for people who haven't already partioned their hard disk.
[19:29] <DJones> Cypress: See the part about a persisent live usb install, that should help you
[19:29] <Neconide> BlehTM: Select "Guided - Use most available space" or something along the lines of that.
[19:30] <EugenMayer`aw> anybody has his intrepid 8.10 running with the current ati 8.11 drivers on the 27-generic kernel?
[19:30] <mrpockets> Is there an image editor in Ubuntu or for Ubuntu thats a little easier to use than Gimp?
[19:30] <aoupi> mrpockets: gpaint :)
[19:30] <Cypress> okay thanks alot :)... and the dual boot is also possible to set up from the ubunto install disk ?
[19:30] <mthorn> would anyone know why on 8.10 when I plug in my external hard drive (/dev/sdc), the kernel does NOT automatically create /dev/sdc1 as well? the drive works perfectly on 8.04
[19:31] <jcmages> Hi everybody. looking for download the nvidia-fglrx (the oldest one.) I've tried in Synaptic, the Legacy one, but nothing happend.
[19:31] <mrpockets> aoupi, great :)
[19:31] <aoupi> mrpockets: tell me if you figure out how to "Undo" in it :)
[19:31] <loller> theme-manager in ubuntu?
[19:31] <aoupi> mthorn: have you tried mountiing sdc?
[19:31] <BlehTM> Neconide:  I'm actually trying to see if I can fix my mess ups partitioning.  I somehow ended up with my Windows boot sector on the partition I was to be using for Ubuntu.  Should I find a way to move the boot sector?
[19:32] <aoupi> mthorn: my old mp3-player didn't show up as sdc1 but I could mount /dev/sdc
[19:32] <DJones> Cypress: I'm not sure about dualbooting with a usb install
[19:32] <Neconide> BlehTM: Did you devide your HD in half, or did you give ubuntu a larger/smaller partion?
[19:32] <mthorn> aoupi: http://pastebin.com/m6ddc1d0e
[19:33] <BlehTM> Yeah, I only gave Ubuntu a 1GB partition and was thinking to use the other 249GB for storage, etc.  Will that work?
[19:33] <aoupi> mthorn: ah
[19:33] <rioch> Anyone know how I can setup ubuntu to work on a hdtv?
[19:33] <aoupi> rioch: what do you mean?
[19:33] <BlehTM> Neconide:  (Sorry, I keep forgetting to type your name >_>)
[19:33] <kenshin_> rioch,  an hd tv is like any other monitor ...
[19:33] <mthorn> aoupi: I updated it with the result of fdisk -l : http://pastebin.com/m4da40593
[19:34] <Neconide> BlehTM: Ubuntu is still a rather large OS and would probably require more than 1GB storage if you were planning on having a lot of data on it.
[19:34] <aoupi> mthorn: there you have sdc1
[19:34] <mthorn> it's very strange. fdisk can see the partition, but /dev/sdc1 never gets created
