[03:49] <ShackJack> psychok8 - I have latest kernel, and Feisty on a siz year old computer running wonderfully...
[03:49] <Slart> is there a repository for pidgin available?
[03:50] <Slart> !pidgin
[03:50] <ubotu> pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It wasn't released in time for Feisty. Expect it in gutsy. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info.
[03:50] <psychok8> ShackJack - this is my first time on irc, just came to try to solve this issue...
[03:50] <brianski> anyone else have a problem with the terminal ignoring user input for about 20 seconds at a time, during which time the keyboard is responsive in all other apps (and then it recovers) ?
[03:50] <wols> Stormx2: if you want to be sure you never ever install a buggy package: do your own distro
[03:50] <brianski> it's seriously getting on my nerves...
[03:50] <ryanbot> hello
[03:50] <ShackJack> psychok8 - K - did you solve it?
[03:50] <perlmonkey> wols: what brings you to ubuntu, I'm surprised to see you here
[03:50] <ryanbot> i get this message when i apt-get update
[03:50] <Stormx2> wols: Wow, that's a viable alternative. Thanks.
[03:50] <psychok8> ShackJack - the forums arent helping a lot, ppl are only complaining... but no solutions
[03:50] <ryanbot> Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz  Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[03:50] <ryanbot> Reading package lists... Done
[03:50] <ryanbot> E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[03:50] <wols> perlmonkey: people like you
[03:50] <ryanbot> can anyone help?
[03:50] <oriez> how do i make the alt+shift commend to switch between languages
[03:51] <perlmonkey> wols: you like helping people?
[03:51] <wols> Stormx2: you get ubuntu for free and it's a lot of work. so unless you are prepared to do the work yourself...
[03:51] <Stormx2> ryanbot: Try again. Looks like the package list didn't download correctly
[03:51] <Slart> ryanbot: try another server.. might just be a corrupt file
[03:51] <ShackJack> psychok8 - Well if things are going right, you'll rarely hear it... Newest Feisty and kernel are fine for more ppl...
[03:51] <ryanbot> i tried
[03:51] <ryanbot> change my sources.list?
[03:51] <Slart> ryanbot: or just system, administration, software sources.. your choice
[03:51] <ryanbot> thank you
[03:51] <berent> hi nikita
[03:52] <berent> hi all
[03:52] <psychok8> ShackJack - yeah...i actually the problem was with my girls pc, im gonna update mine know and see what happens
[03:52] <m1ce> i set aggressive power management for my harddrive using hdparm, but it still never goes into idle
[03:52] <oriez> how do i make the alt+shift commend to switch between languages
[03:52] <psychok8> ShackJack - any problems ill be back
[03:52] <ShackJack> psychok8 - gotcha - be sure to partition home in seprate
[03:52] <psychok8> ShackJack - cheers
[03:52] <carstenpo> kann noone help?
[03:52] <bambam_> is there anything compared to gentoo's multilib + linux32-emul-libs for ubuntu in order to get flash, java, or other 32-bit application to run on amd64?
[03:53] <carstenpo> *can
[03:53] <psychok8> ShackJack - and thanks for the help
[03:53] <Slart> bambam_: there are some 32 bit libraries, yes
[03:53] <wols> carstenpo: what do you use to enable NAT?
[03:54] <carstenpo> wols, sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s <IP_ADDRESS>/16 -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
[03:54] <Slart> bambam_: do an apt-cache search lib32, that will give you some names.. I can't remember the name myself
[03:54] <oriez> how do i make the alt+shift commend to switch between languages
[03:54] <ryanbot> oohh, i skipped the language packages when i was installing ubuntu
[03:54] <ryanbot> i think that may be causing a problem
[03:54] <ryanbot> because the ones that fail seem to be 'translation' packages
[03:55] <bambam_> Slart: yes, i allready found those, but  i only found like alsa, gcc, .. libs in there none for X
[03:55] <wols> carstenpo: that is bad
[03:55] <wols> carstenpo: use ipmasq
[03:55] <bambam_> Slart: so i bet it won't work
[03:55] <Slart> bambam_: hmm.. hang on.. I installed them for firefox32.. let me check
[03:55] <carstenpo> wols, why is that bad, i got that from the ubuntu documentation?
[03:56] <Slart> bambam_: here they are ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk
[03:56] <Slart> those were the ones I installed
[03:56] <Slart> and linux32
[03:56] <Slart> !linux32
[03:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linux32 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:56] <Slart> !info linux32
[03:56] <alex___> hey
[03:56] <ubotu> linux32: Wrapper to set the execution domain. In component main, is extra. Version 1-3 (feisty), package size 5 kB, installed size 56 kB
[03:56] <wols> carstenpo: cause it needs a bit more than just that to work
[03:57] <Slart> !info ia32-libs
[03:57] <ubotu> Package ia32-libs does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[03:57] <wols> carstenpo: and ipmasq does it all for you automatically
[03:57] <wols> !info ipmasq
[03:57] <ubotu> ipmasq: securely initializes IP Masquerade forwarding/firewalling. In component universe, is extra. Version 4.0.8-2ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 76 kB, installed size 616 kB
[03:57] <carstenpo> wols, thank you i will give it a try
[03:57] <wols> carstenpo: and depending if you want to use dhcp on the windows clients, dnsmasq is a good idea too
[03:57] <bambam_> Slart: thanks i found a link in the forums
[03:57] <alexIdoia> it looks like my dist is broken, apt-get.... returns unknowne command, how can I fix it ? I thought about using dpkg to reinstall apt but I can't find the package on the net, please that is an urgency
[03:58] <wols> dnsmasq is always a good idea for the DNS cache alone
[03:58] <wols> alexIdoia: locate apt-get
[03:58] <Slart> alexIdoia: tried with a sudo in front?
[03:58] <wols> alexIdoia: dpkg -l apt
[03:58] <carstenpo> wols, can i install both simply via apt-get install ipmasq and dnsmasq?
[03:59] <wols> carstenpo: yes
[03:59] <alexIdoia> wols: only in /usr/share/man four instances
[03:59] <perlmonkey> hi guys
[03:59] <carstenpo> wols, thank you i will try that, cu!
[03:59] <wols> perlmonkey: reinstall apt then
[03:59] <perlmonkey> how do I exit gnome and get to the shell
[03:59] <simo1> Hi. i i have problems with firefox. it suddenly only starts loading then crashes before the window opens. Please help
[03:59] <perlmonkey> wols: ?
[03:59] <johnficca2> wols: what port # did you say to forward if they are using a router?
[03:59] <nix> perlmonkey: press ctrl-alt-F1 to get to a login shell
[04:00] <wols> perlmonkey: ctrl+alt+f1, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

[04:00] <nix> do the thing wols suggest after that tp quit the gdm session
[04:00] <alexIdoia> wols: can you please stay with me for a sec, I can't find apt-get
[04:00] <alexIdoia> wols:
[04:00] <alexIdoia> No packages found matching apt-get.
[04:01] <simo1> Hi. i i have problems with firefox. it suddenly only starts loading then crashes before the window opens. Please help It may have happened after i installed the "allpeers" addon
[04:01] <wols> alexIdoia: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/base/apt  download it and install with sudo dpkg -i
[04:01] <nix> simo1: try starting firefox in the safe mode. You know how to do that?
[04:01] <wols> simo1: try starting it in an xterm. check if it displays any messages before it crashes
[04:02] <kbrosnan> simo1: from a command prompt type firefox -safe-mode
[04:02] <nix> I'm not on firefox right now
[04:02] <oriez> how do i make the alt+shift commend to switch between languages
[04:03] <bulmer> wols isnt ipmasq for older ipfadm and not for the newer netfilters iptables?
[04:03] <AWOSLappy> All I need in to know where in Ubuntu I can find the stage2_eltorito file.
[04:03] <sudeep> i have recently installed ubuntu 7.04 on my system via CD.. i also have kubuntu CD, i would also like to add KDE in my system .. how do i do it ?
[04:03] <AWOSLappy> According to the grub manual it should be in /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2_eltorito
[04:03] <ryanbot> tried to use synaptic instead for a manual install but i get
[04:03] <ryanbot> amsn:
[04:03] <ryanbot>  Depends: tcl8.4  but it is not installable
[04:03] <ryanbot>  Depends: sox but it is not going to be installed
[04:03] <ryanbot>  Depends: tk8.4  but it is not installable
[04:03] <ryanbot>  Depends: tcltls but it is not going to be installed
[04:03] <AWOSLappy> or /usr/sahre/grub/i386-pc/stage2_eltorito
[04:03] <nix> AWOSLappy: /lib/grub/i386 maybe
[04:03] <AWOSLappy> *share
[04:03] <ryanbot> any idea?
[04:03] <AWOSLappy> ACK, /lib
[04:04] <AWOSLappy> I looked in /usr/lib
[04:04] <AWOSLappy> Thank you SO much nix!
[04:04] <simo1> thx
[04:04] <nix> AWOSLappy: enter "locate stage2_eltorito" in the command line -- that should give the exact path
[04:04] <AWOSLappy> $ locate stage2_eltorito
[04:04] <AWOSLappy> locate: warning: Could not find the group: slocate in the /etc/group file.
[04:04] <AWOSLappy> locate: fatal error: This is a result of the group missing or a corrupted group file.
[04:04] <sudeep> i have recently installed ubuntu 7.04 on my system via CD.. i also have kubuntu CD, i would also like to add KDE in my system .. how do i do it ?
[04:04] <wols> bulmer: ipmasq works with both. it dynamically checks what kernel you run
[04:05] <AWOSLappy> Um, ack?
[04:05] <wols> bulmer: and it always worked for both since krenel 2.4 was out
[04:05] <nix> sudeep: sudo apt-get install kde-desktop
[04:05] <AWOSLappy> sudeep: kubuntu-desktop, actually
[04:05] <AWOSLappy> nix: It is kubuntu-desktop as it was in Dapper/Edgy, still, correct?
[04:05] <nix> AWOSLappy: boy are you having locate broken or something? try sudo slocate -u
[04:05] <nix> righto
[04:05] <cwgannon> when i've used a man x command in terminal and have reached the end, how can i get rid of the thing and get back to the prompt?
[04:06] <AWOSLappy> nix: It's just sitting there.
[04:06] <sudeep> nix: does apt-get look for the CD as source
[04:06] <AWOSLappy> (sudo slocate -u)
[04:06] <nix> AWOSLappy: yup its making a new index. try locate after that
[04:06] <Paradoxx> cwgannon: Esc
[04:06] <AWOSLappy> sudeep: No, it downloads from the Internet.  I am very inexperience in doing it from CD, I will let someone more knowledgable take over if you would like to install from CD
[04:06] <AWOSLappy> nix: Oh okay.
[04:07] <AWOSLappy> $ sudo slocate -u
[04:07] <AWOSLappy> awilcox@NAMERICA1:/lib/grub/i386-pc$ locate stage2_eltorite

[04:07] <AWOSLappy> locate: fatal error: This is a result of the group missing or a corrupted group file.
[04:07] <AWOSLappy> (Yes, I know I spelled torito wrong, that is the least of my worries right now)
[04:07] <erUSUL> AWOSLappy: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2_eltorito (i386 ubuntu install)
[04:07] <karapuz1> just noticed this site: http://irc-archive.com/read/FreeNode/ubuntu/2007-05-28/14/page/2
[04:07] <sudeep> ya .. internet connection is very slow here.. that is not an option.. i need to do it via CD else.. give up the idea..
[04:07] <karapuz1> its logging this channel online
[04:07] <karapuz1> wierd :/
[04:07] <nix> AWOSLappy: boy you do have locate broken in there..
[04:07] <AWOSLappy> erUSUL: No, nix was right, it was in /lib/grub not /usr/lib/grub
[04:08] <cwgannon> Paradoxx:  i hit Esc, and then it replaces the final line with "Esc" but my next keystroke returns it to the final line ... what am i missing?
[04:08] <sudeep> nix:  ya .. internet connection is very slow here.. that is not an option.. i need to do it via CD else.. give up the idea..
[04:08] <AWOSLappy> nix: It's just the group, though
[04:08] <AWOSLappy> I think I may have locked down /etc/group too hard
[04:08] <AWOSLappy> $ cat /etc/group
[04:08] <AWOSLappy> cat: /etc/group: Permission denied
[04:08] <nix> AWOSLappy: does it really bother ya? I mean you can create a group for it.
[04:08] <sagotis> cwgannon, do :q
[04:08] <wols> AWOSLappy: root only. sudo
[04:08] <cwgannon> sagotis: thanks so much
[04:09] <nix> AWOSLappy cat: /etc/group: Permission denied: hey that wasn't supposed to happen. Are you on 7.04?
[04:09] <wols> tho yes, group should be world readable
[04:09] <AWOSLappy> nix: No, 06.06 LTS
[04:09] <AWOSLappy> wols: I was told it wasn't, and ensured it wasn't :S
[04:09] <AWOSLappy> $ ls -al /etc/group
[04:09] <AWOSLappy> -rw------- 1 root 0 953 2007-03-26 03:43 /etc/group
[04:09] <nix> AWOSLappy: enter sudo chmod 644 /etc/group
[04:09] <nix> that should fix it
[04:10] <cast> AWOSLappy: was there a reason you decided to do that? :\
[04:10] <AWOSLappy> cast: Public terminal, tbh.
[04:10] <AWOSLappy> $ locate stage2_eltorito
[04:10] <AWOSLappy> /lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2_eltorito
[04:10] <AWOSLappy> \o/
[04:10] <cast> AWOSLappy: you mean you are administrating a public terminal?
[04:10] <AWOSLappy> thanks again, nix!  I appricate that!
[04:10] <nix> anytime..
[04:10] <AWOSLappy> cast: Semi-public in the fact that people besides me ssh into it
[04:10] <cast> AWOSLappy: ahh.
[04:11] <AWOSLappy> cast: I don't really trust anyone, even though it's just some friends.
[04:11] <wips> Hey, I just installed Ubuntu, and I'm quite new to it. I have one more hard drive on the pc that I want to use. It contains all my songs and videos e.g. How do I use that in Ubuntu?
[04:11] <cast> AWOSLappy: openbsd or xen might be worth looking into, or vserver if you want to stick with the ubuntu theme
[04:11] <nix> wips: do you have that attached already?
[04:11] <wols> wips: man mount
[04:11] <wips> attached?
[04:11] <wips> man mount?
[04:12] <AWOSLappy> cast: I'm happy with Ubuntu, I use it as a workstation too.
[04:12] <nix> wips: I mean, is that other hdd connnected to the system?
[04:12] <wips> yep
[04:12] <AWOSLappy> Again, thank you all for your help.  You people do *not* get thanked enough :)
[04:12] <oriez> how do i make the alt+shift commend to switch between languages
[04:12] <nix> wips: is it an IDE drive? the one thats attached using a WIDE cable.
[04:13] <wips> if you mean, like hardware.. it is connected with cables.
[04:13] <wips> yep, it's IDE
[04:13] <nix> ok entering sudo mount /dev/hdXy /mnt/ will mount the yth partition on the Xth drive on /mnt/
[04:13] <ahmed> guys plz help,, i hear alot abt cvs cedega and cvs wine ,, what is cvs ???
[04:14] <nix> ahmed: concurrent versioning system I think
[04:14] <wols> ahmed: cvs is where programmers keep the source code
[04:14] <ShackJack> ahmed - sort of the "work in progress" version - frequent updates, but potential for unstablilty
[04:14] <wols> with cvs software you get it from a cvs server and compile the software on your own
[04:14] <joe1983> join #harley
[04:14] <vbabiy> hey is there any here that can help me with swat
[04:14] <ahmed> :S whats the difference between the normal wine , cedega and the cvs wine version ??
[04:14] <rockbasil> I am trying to install powertop-1.3 on my laptop can someone give me a hand?
[04:15] <wips> nix, I dont remember which partition. And what do you mean Drive? It's my second drive I suppose
[04:15] <wols> ahmed: the cvs versions are newer. so might have newer and more features but also not so tested so might have more bugs
[04:15] <nix> wips: just a sec..
[04:15] <ahmed> nix, wols, shackjack, :S whats the difference between the normal wine , cedega and the cvs wine version ?? ?
[04:15] <wips> okey
[04:15] <wols> wips: is it already connected? if yes: sudo cat /proc/partitions
[04:15] <frandavid100> hiya
[04:15] <nix> wips: ok wols with ya on this one
[04:16] <wips> yep, it is wols
[04:16] <sirex> ahmed, cvs wine version is most up to date.
[04:16] <wols> wips: so what's in /proc/partitions? paste in a pastebin
[04:16] <nix> ahmed: cadega is the commercial gaming platform on unix. while cvs wine would be _the_ latest wine
[04:16] <frandavid100> I'm trying to translate a .po file in gtranslator, but the fuzzy button is greyed out and I get an error when I hit the update button, telling me that potfiles.in was not found

[04:17] <candyman> im having a really wierd issue where i have to boot to recovery mode and init 5 in order for ubuntu to be stable, can anyone help me out?
[04:17] <robdeman> folks I installed ndiswrapper and then removed it.. but my Gnome Network GUI config window still shows Wireless Connection.. how do I remove this?
[04:18] <wols> robdeman: have you rebooted in between?
[04:18] <Stormx2> I'd like to do a backup of my /home. How might I do this? Ideally I'd like a .tar.gz or similar
[04:18] <robdeman> wols: no
[04:18] <wols> if not "sudo ifconfig down <device name>"
[04:18] <robdeman> wols: are you telling me I need to 8reboot* a Linux box? :)

[04:18] <rockbasil> I am trying to install powertop-1.3 on my laptop can someone give me a hand?

[04:19] <j13jjs> hey anyone want to answer some really questions?
[04:19] <j13jjs> easy
[04:19] <j13jjs> really easy questions
[04:19] <muriu> yes
[04:19] <candyman> fire away, j13jjs
[04:19] <ShackJack> Stormx2 tar -cvf /home filename.tar?
[04:19] <robdeman> wols: I did shutdown the complete network and restarted it, but it said 'WLAN0 no such device' or something similar
[04:19] <wips> wols,  the drive as ca. 120gb space
[04:19] <robdeman> wols: so the system still seems to think WLAN0 exists
[04:19] <Mikeh> !ask | j13jjs
[04:19] <wols> wips:  I guess it's 120GB?  sudo mount /dev/hdd1 /mountpoint. whatever you want to use as a mountpoint (that directory needs to exist)
[04:20] <ubotu> j13jjs: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:20] <wols> robdeman: ifconfig. if it's not showing up then only stupid network manager does still think it exists
[04:20] <wips> wols, so I write /mountpoint "name" or just /name ?
[04:20] <Stormx2> ShackJack: Okay
[04:20] <wols> wips: what filesystem on that drive?
[04:20] <rockbasil_> I am trying to install powernow can someone give me a hand?
[04:20] <wips> fat32
[04:20] <wols> wips: just /name. /name being a directory
[04:20] <robdeman> wols: I think this is the case indeed
[04:21] <naadde> doc|: it says: Identifier: nVidia Corporation NV34 [Geforce FX 5200]

[04:21] <naadde> doc|: it says also Driver nvidia
[04:21] <ShackJack> Stormx2 - filename.tar being the name of the TAR'd file you are creating (I think my syntax is correct;))
[04:21] <rockbasil> Can someone help me install a package in ubuntu?
[04:21] <Stormx2> Looks it :)
[04:21] <wols> wips: To get write access to a vfat partition when mounting it with fstab, use the line "/dev/partition /mount/point vfat defaults,uid=USERID,gid=GROUPID,umask=002 0 0" in /etc/fstab. umask=002 will make the partition rwxrwxr-x, while umask=022 will make it rwxr-xr-x. Get your user/group ids with the command "id"

[04:24] <ShackJack> jin - what nvidia card?
[04:24] <mlk> hi
[04:24] <lorenz> can aonyone recommend me a good calender for ubuntu feisty?
[04:24] <candyman> i can fix it temporarially by bootying to SU mode and manually init 5-ing
[04:24] <j13jjs> how do i reset the add/remove process, it crashed in the middle of a big add and now everytime i try to open it it seems like its still locked up somewhere
[04:24] <candyman> but next boot,itll start again
[04:24] <jin> ShackJack: 7300 GS
[04:24] <j13jjs> so i can't add anything
[04:24] <sagotis> rockbasil, that can be a little funky because you have to compile it - however the basic way is to right click on the package and hit extract here then upen up a terminal and cd to the dir then do ./configure then make then sudo make install
[04:24] <j13jjs> it says another application is using it
[04:24] <candyman> and by lock, i mean cannot switch to terminal, cannot use system calls, cannot use capslock
[04:24] <muriu> nix, where do i find these extra codec packages
[04:24] <wols> candyman: what "splash"?
[04:25] <ShackJack> jin - hmm.. that should work ggod I would thing... I trust you're using the nvidia driver (vs. nv)
[04:25] <candyman> wols: the gnome login splash screen
[04:25] <jin> ShackJack: I am using the nvidia driver
[04:25] <wols> candyman: you mean gdm?
[04:25] <wips> wols, K, when I try to mount it says the mount point /myname doesnt exist.. I tried making a folder somewhere.. but didnt help >.<
[04:25] <candyman> where it shows the gnome panel and restricted driver manager loading
[04:25] <candyman> wols: correct
[04:25] <lorenz> hi - does anyone know a good calender for ubuntu feisty, please?
[04:25] <candyman> wols: ive run fsck, and removed/reinstalled gdm
[04:25] <muriu> nix, come on
[04:25] <jin> windows leaves traces behind when I move them around... :(
[04:25] <candyman> only time i make progress is init 5
[04:25] <wols> wips: "somewhere"? either you have a directory /myname or you don't
[04:26] <nix> muriu: just a sec..
[04:26] <oriez> how do i make the alt+shift commend to switch between languages?
[04:26] <wols> candyman: that's not what I asked. is your "gnome login splash screen" gdm?
[04:26] <rockbasil> sagotis: can you walk me through it step by step, I am good at following directions, but I am still a linux newby.
[04:26] <wips> well, I dont know.. Where does it have to be?
[04:26] <candyman> wols: yes, i believe so--its that narrow image that comes up and shows stuff loading, right before the desktop fully appears
[04:26] <sagotis> rockbasil, are you using gnome?
[04:26] <naadde> doc|: where is it
[04:26] <wols> wips: /myname is one clearly defined place in Unix filesystem hierarchy
[04:26] <nix> muriu: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras libxine-extracodecs gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-pitfdll
[04:27] <rockbasil> sagotis yup
[04:27] <wips> wait, I figured now
[04:27] <rockbasil> I have powertop on my latptop sagotis
[04:27] <wols> candyman: after you logged in?
[04:27] <nix> muriu: remove the lixine one if you're not having KDE
[04:27] <sagotis> rockbasil, ok goto places menu and then home
[04:27] <candyman> yes, although on subsequent boots it locks up earlier and earlier
[04:27] <candyman> until its as soon as gdm loads
[04:27] <wols> candyman: always locking at the same place or different ones?
[04:27] <candyman> (ie, it autoswitches to tty7, and locks)
[04:27] <j13jjs>  how do i reset the add/remove process, it crashed in the middle of a big add and now everytime i try to open it it seems like its still locked up somewhere
[04:27] <sagotis> rockbasil, in the final manager go to the place where u have the file
[04:27] <rockbasil> sagotis: ok
[04:27] <trenq> hi fellas
[04:28] <trenq> im looking for a light nice browser
[04:28] <j13jjs> and I can't add anything!
[04:28] <trenq> for my feisty
[04:28] <wips> wols, uh nevermind.. I didnt figure. I dont get this, sorry..
[04:28] <sagotis> rockbasil, ierr manager
[04:28] <rockbasil> sagotis it is on my desktop
[04:28] <rockbasil> where do you want me to go?
[04:28] <rockbasil> home?
[04:28] <nix> trenq: how lite? like dillo
[04:28] <trenq> firefox hogs mem so much
[04:28] <sagotis> rockbasil, err file manager - sorry
[04:28] <wips> wols, As I said earlier. I'm very new to Ubuntu and unix

[04:28] <ubotu> wisp: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[04:28] <candyman> wols: first boot, after desktop shows, second boot, it locks after login, 3rd and subsequent boots it locks as SOON as it switches to tty7

[04:28] <candyman> using  recovery mode resets it back to normal for 1 boot
[04:28] <robdeman> what does it mean when nidwrapper says (alternate driver zd1211rw) etc ?
[04:28] <wols> wips: what is the line you use to mount the partition? paste it here
[04:29] <trenq> nix is dillo good?
[04:29] <wips> the one you gave me..
[04:29] <wips> sudo mount /dev/hdd1 /Lager
[04:29] <sagotis> rockbasil, ok well in your home dir make a temp dir and put the file oin there
[04:29] <wols> candyman: I guess either you have a heat problem or the wrong X driver
[04:29] <wols> wips: I want the exact line you type in. I need to see it
[04:29] <wips> yep, thats the exact line
[04:29] <Stormx2> Yo. I need to install an ubuntu-minimal system. How might I do this? I see it's a package in the repos...
[04:29] <wols> ah. thanks
[04:30] <candyman> wols: heat is a possibility, although im confused as to why that would occur differently on different boots, and reset when i use init 5
[04:30] <Taurus-> someone name an application to stress my cpu !
[04:30] <sagotis> rockbasil,  once you have the file in the temp dir right click on it and hit extract here
[04:30] <rockbasil> sagotis, ok I made a temp file in the home director and moved powertop there
[04:30] <IgorSobreira> hi all...i've just downloaded the kernel 2.6.20-16-generic...in 2.6.20-16-generic my sound didnt work, but i saw that the module snd_hda_codec wasnt there in *-15-generic....but now i can see it on the kernel *-16-generic in lsmod...but no sound yet...anybody knows????
[04:30] <candyman> as for the driver, im using nvidia-glx
[04:30] <wols> wips: sudo mkdir /Lager
[04:30] <wols> then try again
[04:30] <candyman> wols: my mistake, nvidia-glx-new
[04:30] <rockbasil> ok
[04:30] <rockbasil> sagotis ok
[04:30] <wols> candyman: try nv drivers, try vesa
[04:30] <candyman> alright
[04:30] <ryanbot> thanks for recommending to change my sources for software
[04:30] <wips> perfect wols, works great.. :)
[04:31] <ryanbot> changed my most optimal and it works perfect now
[04:31] <wols> candyman: no one can really help you with your error unless you reproduce it (or fix it) with a Free driver: everyone will always suspect the nvidia POS driver :)
[04:31] <wols> wips: it doesn't.
[04:31] <xerophyte_> if i modify the pam configuration files do i have to reboot the server or is there anyway i can reboot the pam ?
[04:31] <wols> wips: only root can access it
[04:31] <wols> at least write to it
[04:31] <rockbasil> how do you control fan speed on ubuntu?
[04:31] <sagotis> rockbasil,  ok then open up a terminal and do cd /home/<username>temp/<idir that was created>
[04:32] <wips> wols, oh.. I dunno, just noticed I'm browsing.. So in order to edit it, I paste the other command you gave me?
[04:32] <gwosdzth> hi everyone
[04:32] <wols> wips: that's why I pasted that thing earlier. also, you'd have to run that mount command after every boot
[04:32] <gwosdzth> i have a small linux server problem
[04:32] <dodi> hello
[04:32] <gwosdzth> i hope someone could help
[04:32] <wols> wips: that earlier one is for your /etc/fstab
[04:32] <gwosdzth> i have a perl script running on my ubuntu server
[04:32] <gwosdzth> and i access it throuhg a web interfece
[04:32] <gwosdzth> however,
[04:32] <wips> wols,  but what do you mean with mye /etc/fstab?
[04:32] <gwosdzth> when i run it from the web (on another comptuer
[04:33] <mc44> !enter | gwosdzth
[04:33] <sagotis> rockbasil,  in the <> feilds put your user name (i assume its rockbasil) and then whatever the dir name whtat was created when u extrected the file
[04:33] <ubotu> gwosdzth: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:33] <wols> wips: the file that controls what partitions are mounted on bootup
[04:33] <gwosdzth> it does not wirite to a file
[04:33] <wols> !fstab
[04:33] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[04:33] <gwosdzth> *sry
[04:33] <dodi> after updating the kernel, grub shows 2 bootable kernels, the old one works as usuall, the new one drops an error that the panel applet for the trash wasn't found.. how to fix that?
[04:33] <rockbasil> sagotis...I am sorry
[04:33] <wips> wols: ok, So I have to open that file and paste your code there? or just in the terminal?
[04:34] <wols> wips: edit the file. and you have to do more than just paste. change it for your circumstances
[04:34] <sagotis> rockbasil, hehe ok was a new dir created when did right click extract now?
[04:34] <rockbasil> sagotis: ok
[04:34] <ryanbot> anyone recommend a nice mp3 player? i don't like xmms that much
[04:34] <rockbasil> sagotis: I got it
[04:34] <gwosdzth> if i run the actual perl script, it writes to the file, but when i acces the perl script from the web on another comptuer, it no longer writes to the file, but displays it (what its ment to do) i have both a print and print data (which is the file
[04:34] <Death_Sargent> Please help as I can't install anything
[04:34] <sagotis> rockbasil, ok good now do ./configure

[04:35] <wips> wols: Damn, the code dissapeard in the logg. :(
[04:35] <Death_Sargent> please help
[04:36] <wols> To get write access to a vfat partition when mounting it with fstab, use the line "/dev/partition /mount/point vfat defaults,uid=USERID,gid=GROUPID,umask=002 0 0" in /etc/fstab. umask=002 will make the partition rwxrwxr-x, while umask=022 will make it rwxr-xr-x. Get your user/group ids with the command "id"
[04:36] <rockbasil> sagotis: sagotis: can you walk me through it step by step, I am good at following directions, but I am still a linux newby.

[04:40] <sagotis> rockbasil, does it say to just issue make and then sudo make install?
[04:40] <gordonjcp> mc44: which, since it was running a lowlatency kernel with some pretty specific boot-time settings has left me with six hosed systems
[04:40] <lazka> i have a domain and it has to link to an existing domain with subdomain

[04:47] <LjL> wips: then as i said,  gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[04:47] <wols> wips: gksudo then
[04:47] <Xsylotte> *for .deb packages
[04:47] <rockbasil> sagotis: what is that?
[04:47] <wips> Okey
[04:47] <sagotis> rockbasil, hmmm some errors can be fixed by installing the item the error points to - others it takes more - in your case im not really sure need someone more advanced then my little knowledge
[04:47] <Death_Sargent> wols: its from http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Environment/Tools/Suse-Kickoff-for-Kubuntu-20919.shtml
[04:47] <LjL> Xsylotte: what do yo umean?
[04:47] <Lilacor> LjL: actually, I use vim so I wasn't aware of gksudo.
[04:47] <Xsylotte> LjL: there is some url with deb database packages...
[04:47] <j13jjs> what is the preferred audio player for playing most formats? and ipod support would be nice as well
[04:47] <rockbasil> sagotis: what do you recomend?
[04:47] <wols> Death_Sargent: there is a way, tho it's dangerous
[04:47] <LjL> Lilacor: it's not something restricted to text editors. sudo should not be used for an GUI applications
[04:47] <wips> What's the difference between gksudo and sudo?
[04:47] <IdleOne> Xsylotte, packages.ubuntu.com
[04:47] <candyman> Xsylotte: there are many of those

[04:48] <Death_Sargent> wols: save the mission imposible stuff I need help
[04:48] <s_pirate> Does anyone know how to make ubuntu detect an external PnP PS/2 mouse on a laptop?  At the moment it will only detect the Touchpad.  I cannot find anything in the forums or wiki

[04:48] <Xsylotte> i am looking for specific one :( after formatting disk ... lost url
[04:48] <mro1> j3jjs:  for ipod i've found amarok works very well

[04:48] <candyman> Xsylotte: what specific software do you need
[04:48] <wols> if that doesn't work: edit /var/lib/dpkg/status directly
[04:48] <wips> LjL, Ok.. so the file is supposed to look empty?

[04:51] <oriez> no
[04:51] <Bertos> alguem a falar portugues?
[04:51] <sagotis> rockbasil, nope sorry just ask that you need help with the compiling the power program and hopefully somneone will be able to help

[04:52] <novato_br> hi, Berto, i'm speak portuguese
[04:52] <Lilacor> orentet: first of all you must have SCIM setup available

[04:54] <IdleOne> eddzzz, I am not certain if a file can be hidden. but the directory the file is in can be hidden

[04:55] <oriez> Lilacor: ok
[04:55] <wols> eddzzz: you cannot hide really. you can put a . as first letter of the file but doesn't relaly hide
[04:55] <Lilacor> xyverz: ask that question in #openoffice
[04:55] <JakReloaded> Hey Everyone- on my ubuntu install the only time sound works is on Rythmbox - any other time i get nothing (amarok - logging in and out, etc) any ideas why?

[04:57] <wols> IdleOne: no

[04:57] <LjL> IdleOne: not in Unix
[04:57] <IdleOne> guess that would be redundant hehe
[04:57] <eddzzz> thx cya
[04:57] <LjL> IdleOne, well Windows NT actually has a System user with more powers than Administrator users. that's not the Unix model though.
[04:58] <Lilacor> LjL: ok
[04:58] <stefg> MattGeri: have you chosen to resize a ntfs partition?
[04:58] <wips> wols, I'm running ubuntu 5.04. It's old isnt it? Am I able to just upgrade it from the web? or does that require reinstalling and all that jazz?
[04:59] <IdleOne> !upgrade | wips
[04:59] <ubotu> wips: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:59] <Skiff> anyone was able to make the nvidia drivers work here?
[04:59] <LjL> wips: you can upgrade, but it's difficult, because upgrading requires going through all the intermediate versions
[04:59] <wips> ok :) thx
[04:59] <Xsylotte> anyone ?
[04:59] <Skiff> I need hlp
[04:59] <oriez> Lilacor: ok and then
[04:59] <wols> wips:  you need to upgrade from one ubuntu version to the next. you can't just upgrade to 7.04 feisty directly
[04:59] <psst> I left an ubuntu box on a DHCP connection in the 9.20.187.* subnet - how can I find out its IP address?
[04:59] <JakReloaded> Hey Everyone- on my ubuntu install the only time sound works is on Rythmbox - any other time i get nothing (amarok - logging in and out, etc) any ideas why?
[04:59] <stefg> wips, hoary is history.... forget about upgrading, reinstall a current version
[04:59] <LjL> wips: if you've got a separate /home partition, it'll certainly be easier to reinstall. and if you don't... well, it'll probably still be
[04:59] <MattGeri> I formatted the hard drive and the install starts up, it load ubuntu off the cd and I double click "install" on the desk top, but it takes forever to run through the steps

[05:00] <LjL> LinTux: it's "kubuntu-desktop"
[05:00] <LjL> !kde > LinTux    (LinTux, see the private message from Ubotu)

[05:00] <Lilacor> LinTux: hmm.. I think it was supposed to be kubuntu-dekstop, sorry
[05:00] <wips> and if I just leave it and live with version 5.04?
[05:00] <LjL> wips: bad idea. no security updates anymore for 5.04, for a start.
[05:00] <cerealkiller219> !grub
[05:00] <IdleOne> wips, it isnt supported anymore and you really should upgrade
[05:01] <LjL> wips: if you want an operating system that's supported for longer, go with the LTS version of Ubuntu (currently Dapper).
[05:01] <LjL> !lts > wips    (wips, see the private message from Ubotu)
[05:01] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:01] <IdleOne> wips, atleast up to 6.10
[05:01] <wols> Lr5_: remount harddisk ro and fsck. then remount it rw again
[05:01] <LjL> IdleOne: 6.06?
[05:01] <IdleOne> 6.06 yeah
[05:01] <wols> Lr5_: no need for single user mode
[05:01] <Lilacor> oriez: or setup vncserver on your machine so I can see what's going on

[05:02] <JakReloaded> Hey Everyone- on my ubuntu install the only time sound works is on Rythmbox - any other time i get nothing (amarok - logging in and out, etc) any ideas why?
[05:02] <alexIdoia> wols: I can't find the library that bugs rhythmbox: libmusicbrainz.so.4
[05:02] <Lr5_> wols: I guess I'll try that if I manage to get it to boot at all
[05:02] <IdleOne> !sound > JakReloaded
[05:02] <LjL> JakReloaded: for amarok, install "libxine1-ffmpeg"
[05:02] <LjL> if that's MP3s
[05:02] <Lilacor> oriez: go to Global Setup underneath "Front End"
[05:02] <Lilacor> oriez: not under IMEngine
[05:02] <JakReloaded> IdleOne - its not just amarok i have the problem with - all system sounds are non existent, all games, menues, etc
[05:03] <JakReloaded> idleone - the only sound that ever works is in Rythmbox
[05:03] <alexIdoia> wols: anyother adivised ?
[05:03] <paroxysm> i just updated the linux kernel system updates (i don't know if this has anything to do with it), but when i make an application launcher in terminal, with the single command "cd /var/www/rails/apps" when it loads up i get "there was an error creating the child process for this terminal"
[05:03] <oriez> Lilacor: ok and then
[05:03] <Trubbis> how do i open ports in ubuntu??
[05:03] <wols> Lr5_: kernel parameter: init=/bin/busybox
[05:03] <alexIdoia> adivse ?
[05:03] <IdleOne> JakReloaded, you just received a priv msg from ubotu check out the link
[05:03] <LjL> Trubbis: ports?
[05:03] <Lilacor> oriez: it should be obvious from there
[05:03] <wips> Ok.. So what should I do? download 7.04? and reinstall?
[05:03] <doc|> any comand tool for correct vga on mode console , I have a Table http://<IP_ADDRESS>/wordpress/?p=4 ,and work whit vga=791 ang =792, but some times crash, my display is 1440x900
[05:03] <Lr5_> wols: normal boot or recovery one?
[05:03] <oriez> no its no obvious at all
[05:04] <redcard> Anyone have problems with the kernel upgrade?  I lost device recognition, and now X doesn't work, even with reverting the kernel
[05:04] <Trubbis> LjL, jupp, trying to open port 60001 for ftp, can only connect via lo, not via eth0!
[05:04] <Anguis> I have a few questions - I've installed ubuntu 7.04 AMD64 and am having trouble booting using the standard method. In order to use ubuntu, I have to boot in Recovery mode and then type in "exit" at the command line. I then log in normally.
[05:04] <LjL> wips: yes. or 6.06 if you want something that's supported for longer. that !cloning factoid might be useful
[05:04] <LjL> Trubbis: there are no TCP/UDP ports blocked by default in Ubuntu, so there's nothing to open.
[05:04] <Lilacor> oriez: it lists Next Input Method
[05:04] <LjL> Trubbis: it's probably something in your FTP server configuration
[05:04] <Lilacor> oriez: change the key bindings underneath that and you'll get what you want
[05:04] <Trubbis> LjL, according to nmap there is!
[05:05] <Anguis> I've been told I need to make adjustments in GRUB, regarding nosplash and another term (argument/switch?)
[05:05] <Voodoonix> anyone good with ati vid cards?
[05:05] <IdleOne> LjL, used !cloning last night/ this morning . did a fresh install of 7.04 system is back up with all my packages and running a little smoother also
[05:05] <Lilacor> redcard: I'm about to find out
[05:05] <LjL> Trubbis, not unless you've installed firewall apps yourself, or set up iptables.

[05:06] <IdleOne> errr well 3 lines isnt a big deal
[05:06] <Anguis> Anyone know what I need to adjust in GRUB inorder to boot normally in Ubuntu 64 (I didn't have this problem with 32 bit ubuntu). Thanks for the help.
[05:06] <wols> Lr5_: recovery alone should work
[05:06] <Taxman> I have a borken cdrom drive so I'm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WithFloppies. But I have a slow net connection. Is it possible to set up another local computer with an Ubuntu cd and use that as my network install source?
[05:06] <cycom> I've got an bluetooth interlink keyboard, and every time I suspend or shutdown or restart bluetooth, it gets lost.
[05:06] <LjL> Trubbis, that simply means that your FTP server isn't *running* on that port.
[05:06] <wols> Lr5_: and what I told you works isn't on the boot menu, youd have to edit it
[05:07] <Trubbis> LjL, when trying on my lan-ip it works like a sharm!
[05:07] <wols> Anguis: unless you tell us what the error is when you boot normally. no
[05:07] <kritzstapf> whats the easy way to share the apt cache between two pcs in a lan?
[05:07] <wols> Trubbis: then it's only listening on that interface
[05:07] <mro1> looking for help with non-working USB ports.  anyone here able to help?  (i can wait in line, just wondering if waiting will get me any help)
[05:07] <LjL> Trubbis, and how's that surprising? i would look for the FTP server's configuration file, and grep for "localhost" or "127". i'm pretty sure there's some clause telling it not to accept connection from outside the local loop.
[05:07] <wols> kritzstapf: apt-proxy for example
[05:07] <wips> So updating one and one version takes most time? but what's easiest?
[05:08] <spyked> hi, need help here - after the latest updates i restarted my computer and it will only start in text mode - MAYBE graphics driver, running proprietary ATI driver installed with Envy here... help!!
[05:08] <wols> mro1: not until you explain us the error(s) you get
[05:08] <alexIdoia> wols: I would appreciate your help a little longer please
[05:08] <Taxman> I think I've read about setting that up but I can't recall where
[05:08] <wols> alexIdoia: paste the full xterm output
[05:08] <stefg> Anguis: when the 32 bit edititon works then use it, you won't lose much (on a desktop) and gain a lot of convinience.
[05:08] <LjL> Trubbis, i assume more FTP servers come with config files that reject non-local connections by default, as FTP is intrinsically very insecure.
[05:08] <erUSUL> spyked: you have to reinstall the driver when the kernel is updated
[05:08] <Trubbis> LjL, there is nothing saying anything about either localhost or <IP_ADDRESS> in the config
[05:08] <wols> wips: reinstalling feisty would be easiest I'd say
[05:09] <cp> hey whats the package to get   adobe  reader?
[05:09] <spyked> erUSUL: didn't envy just reinstall the driver? Or, how should i do that?
[05:09] <Lilacor> oriez: you bring up the language input bar, then you use the keybindings you set
[05:09] <Xsylotte> question: most of math formulas from microsoft word cant' be recognised by open.office, is there any solution for that problem ?
[05:09] <erUSUL> spyked: nuisances of using non pckages software...
[05:09] <wols> Trubbis: netstat -anp |grep LIST
[05:09] <stefg> http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html
[05:09] <sluimers> hello?
[05:09] <spyked> erUSUL: ok... but what should I do now?
[05:09] <alexIdoia> wols: rhythmbox: error while loading shared libraries: libmusicbrainz.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[05:09] <erUSUL> spyked: i haven't used envy but i supose that a re-runshould reinstall it
[05:09] <cp> ?
[05:09] <alexIdoia> wols: that is what I get when starting rhythmbox
[05:09] <LjL> !find libmusicbrainz.so.4
[05:09] <wols> alexIdoia: is that ALL?
[05:09] <spyked> erUSUL: re-run?
[05:09] <erUSUL> spyked: run envy again?
[05:09] <cp> anyone know what the adobe reader package is named?
[05:09] <ubotu> File libmusicbrainz.so.4 found in libmusicbrainz4c2a
[05:09] <alexIdoia> yes
[05:09] <Trubbis> wols, what am i looking for in that?
[05:10] <spyked> erUSUL: just did that
[05:10] <Lilacor> Xsylotte: I'd ask that question in #openoffice.org
[05:10] <erUSUL> spyked: and it didn't worked?
[05:10] <spyked> no - it rebooted in txt agagin
[05:10] <wols> Trubbis: the line which displays on what port your ftpd is listening. paste it
[05:10] <spyked> again
[05:10] <LjL> alexIdoia: try "sudo apt-get -reinstall install libmusicbrainz4c2a"
[05:10] <ttrygve> can anybody recommend a good live cd for recovering lost files
[05:10] <LjL> cp: there's none in the official repositories.
[05:10] <Lilacor> cp: did you search for it underneath your package manager?
[05:10] <stefg> Xsylotte: try #openoffice ?
[05:10] <wols> ttrygve: "lost" how
[05:10] <LjL> !medibuntu > cp    (cp, see the private message from Ubotu) i think there's one here
[05:10] <carstenpo> after I did "apt-get install ddclient" when will my ip address be uptdated?
[05:10] <spyked> erUSUL: maybe I should uninstall before i install again?
[05:10] <Trubbis> wols, not there....
[05:10] <Lilacor> ttrygve: what kind of files?
[05:11] <Trubbis> wols, how do i get it there?
[05:11] <wols> Trubbis: then yout ftpd is not running
[05:11] <LjL> cp: but why not just use the GNOME PDF reader? it's faster to load too.
[05:11] <Xsylotte> Lilacor: asking
[05:11] <cp> gnome pdf ?
[05:11] <mro1> wols:  ok.  i'm getting "device descriptor read/64,  error -71" and  "device not accepting address" messages from dmesg | grep usb
[05:11] <Trubbis> wols, but i can connect to it via lan-ip
[05:11] <wols> Trubbis: it displays ALL programs listening (if you are root)
[05:11] <wols> so use sudo for it
[05:11] <erUSUL> spyked: dunno as i said never used envy i run the nvidia instalr manually...
[05:11] <cp> yea that will just work
[05:11] <cp> i just need one
[05:11] <cp> heh
[05:11] <ttrygve> a friend formatted what she thought was the new drive she added to a system, and it turned out to be the physical volume that all of her logical volumes were on
[05:11] <spyked> k...
[05:11] <AlexanderM> can someone help me? I tried to isntall Ubuntu on my external harddisk. The installation worked fine, but Grub doesn't load?
[05:11] <LjL> cp: then just click on a PDF. that reader is installed by default.
[05:11] <rob_> hi folks.. mystery sovled I think... 'eth1' is a wireless device.. how do I rename it to 'wlan0' ?
[05:12] <erUSUL> !envy
[05:12] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[05:12] <Lilacor> ttrygve: Ooohh... :-/
[05:12] <ttrygve> yeah
[05:12] <cp> o
[05:12] <ttrygve> she's freaking out right now
[05:12] <wols> AlexanderM: how would you boot from your external harddisk?
[05:12] <cp> well its not workin on firefox
[05:12] <ttrygve> (it was her work server)
[05:12] <cp> for some reason
[05:12] <Lilacor> ttrygve: did she follow the golden rule of backups?
[05:12] <redcard> ttrygve: I hope she has backups
[05:12] <stefg> AlexanderM: doesn't load?
[05:12] <Lilacor> ttrygve: I'm going to guess no since you're asking how to recover.
[05:12] <ttrygve> she has backups of some of her stuff, but not all
[05:12] <AlexanderM> i have windows xp installed on my internal disk (my first linux experience, now on live cd)
[05:13] <redcard> ttrygve: Then this is a lesson
[05:13] <paroxysm> i just updated the linux kernel system updates (i don't know if this has anything to do with it), but when i make an application launcher in terminal, with the single command "cd /var/www/rails/apps" when it loads up i get "there was an error creating the child process for this terminal" - i also get the same error when i try to make it do that command when loading the default profile
[05:13] <AlexanderM> it freezes? i stared 30 mins at a "Loading grub" screen or sth
[05:13] <wols> AlexanderM: doesn't answer my question. do you know your BIOS can boot from a USB disk (many cannot)
[05:13] <ttrygve> I know it's a lesson, but I'm still trying to help her recover as much as she can, while she can
[05:13] <AlexanderM> yes it can
[05:13] <AlexanderM> first device: cd, second: usb-hdd, third: hd0
[05:13] <Lilacor> ttrygve: has she already written over the old partition?
[05:13] <rob_> folsk how can I renemae eth1 into wlan0 ?
[05:14] <AlexanderM> at least that is what my bios tells me :$
[05:14] <Lilacor> ttrygve: okay.. hmm..formatted
[05:14] <Lilacor> ttrygve: Ouch.
[05:14] <wols> AlexanderM: how far do you get?
[05:14] <redcard> ttrygve: What was the format of the old partition and what is the format of the new partition?
[05:14] <AlexanderM> grub loading stage 1.5.
[05:14] <ttrygve> she thought it was her new blank drive, so she fdisk'ed it to add a partition, and then mkfs'ed the partition
[05:14] <AlexanderM> loading grub..
[05:14] <redcard> ttrygve: It's most likely all gone.
[05:14] <ttrygve> I know
[05:14] <pppoe_dud1> hi. any way to boot from a specific partition using the grub on the ubuntu live CD?
[05:14] <manurespreader> hi maybe someone know name off program with automatically  installs drivers of nvidia graphic drivers ?
[05:14] <redcard> ttrygve: Only thing really to suggest is a HD recovery company.
[05:14] <stefg> AlexanderM: but when you unplug the usb-drive windows starts normal?
[05:15] <ttrygve> but a format doesn't overwrite every bit of the disk, so I'm looking for a good tool to recover what wasn't overwritten
[05:15] <wols> pppoe_dud1: if it's really grub, press "e"
[05:15] <AlexanderM> nope, then it also tries to load grub
[05:15] <Lilacor> ttrygve:     *  Provides Linux partition recovery from a deleted logical partition.
[05:15] <pppoe_dud1> wols: i managed to get to the "boot:" prompt, but that's it
[05:15] <stefg> AlexanderM: i see
[05:15] <AlexanderM> that was what i was trying to do

[05:16] <manurespreader> hi maybe someone know name of program with automatically  installs drivers of nvidia graphic drivers ?
[05:16] <pppoe_dud1> erUSUL: i tried that

[05:16] <AlexanderM> but now i'm stuck, i think grub is on the mbr of my internal hd, not on my usb hd
[05:17] <stefg> AlexanderM: grub got installed on your internal hd's MBR... that's not good. First restore the win MBR there by using the windows recovery CD in console mode and issue fixmbr
[05:17] <LjL> pppoe_dud1: it's just a floppy disk to supposedly let you boot anything easily
[05:17] <LjL> pppoe_dud1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[05:17] <pppoe_dud1> LjL: ah i see
[05:17] <pppoe_dud1> can i put it on CD?

[05:17] <AlexanderM> don't have a floppy drive of recovery disk, any recommendations? :$
[05:17] <Anguis> Oh, ok, thanks: When I boot normally, the computer hangs after I make the "start Ubuntu" selection - this happens with any selection I make in the initial graphical start screen (media check, etc. . .).
[05:17] <mro1> looking for USB help -   "device descriptor read/64, error -71"   and "device not accepting address"   from dmesg | grep usb          anyone?
[05:18] <LjL> pppoe_dud1: floppy only i'm afraid (at least without jumping through hoops)
[05:18] <ttrygve> would a device being used as a PV for LVM throw off a file system level recovery tool?  or would it just not recognize the LVM parts and still see the unreferenced files?
[05:18] <pppoe_dud1> :(
[05:18] <stefg> AlexanderM: are you on live CD now?
[05:18] <pppoe_dud1> LjL: any ideas if i can install a boot manager on the harddisk?

[05:18] <AlexanderM> jup, on Feisty's live cd
[05:18] <pppoe_dud1> LjL: without having a linux partition and only having one windows partition
[05:19] <LjL> pppoe_dud1: oh... well, no, not really, perhaps LILO
[05:19] <claesson9> Hi, i think i messed something up in my kernel. I recompiled/installed some sound driver thing because my sound where dead. Now when i starts Ubuntu, it's like MS-DOS. Where has my GUI went?
[05:19] <redcard> Is there a way I can reinstall all my packages or something to refresh my system?
[05:19] <pppoe_dud1> LjL: i want to boot from a recovery partition on my harddisk... i deleted linux and now grub wont give me the menu
[05:19] <LjL> pppoe_dud1: if you just have Windows, i think you should use the Windows CD to restore your MBR, if it's broken
[05:19] <At0mic_P1> Anyone know of a text to speach site? Like you can input text and output would be a mp3 or wav file that said what you typed?
[05:19] <wols> pppoe_dud1: grub is gone. it has files in /boot/grub/
[05:19] <IdleOne> !cloning > redcard
[05:19] <LjL> pppoe_dud1: "recovery partition" = "you have no Windows CD"?
[05:19] <wols> and without those files, no workie
[05:19] <pppoe_dud1> LjL: hmm... interesting point.. i dont think i have a windows cd tho, only recovery cds
[05:19] <manurespreader> thanks
[05:20] <pppoe_dud1> LjL: yep... laptop getting ready to be returned
[05:20] <LjL> pppoe_dud1: hold on a second
[05:20] <stefg> AlexanderM: you need some form of bootable windows media to restore the windows mbr. you might use a bootable Freedos CD and restore your internal hds MBR by fdsik /mbr from there

[05:21] <LjL> pppoe_dud1: if it works, it'll be very much easier (as easy as typing the command), yes
[05:21] <AlexanderM> stefg: i'll download freedos.org, burn it on a cd and use that to fixmbr?
[05:21] <pppoe_dud1> ok lemme try this, thanks LjL
[05:22] <AlexanderM> stefg: fdisk /mbr :)
[05:22] <doru> how do i install ubuntu from inside suse only using a mounted iso image?
[05:22] <XBehave> recovery CDs generally have the standerd windowxp install stuff in it and so you can recover the mbr with a dell,etc restore disk
[05:22] <stefg> AlexanderM: yeah along that lines (i'm no freedos expert and don't know how to get a bootable freedos CD)
[05:22] <LjL> doru: you don't, unless you're willing to use a virtual machine

[05:25] <LjL> XBehave: yes

[05:26] <manurespreader> ok i used  restricted manager and installed NVIDIA accelerated graphics drivers everything fine but Refresh rate is only 50 Hz but my monitor can support 80Hz how i can increase it ?
[05:26] <spyked> ok - my machine REFUSES to boot in graphics mode anymore- ATI card here installed using envy
[05:26] <spyked> help!
[05:26] <XBehave> nope i just want to break the file system because crytpo is refusing to write over it
[05:27] <LjL> spyked: restore your backup xorg.conf.
[05:27] <Seveas> spyked, that's what envy does: render your system unusable after the next kernel update
[05:27] <spyked> Seveas: didn't know - poop
[05:27] <carstenpo> stefg, it is an linux partition (ID 83) and it is /dev/hdb1
[05:27] <Seveas> LjL, I'm afraid that's not enough -- he'll need to back out the envy-installed drivrs
[05:27] <spyked> Seveas: can you walk me through this?
[05:27] <manurespreader> ok i used  restricted manager and installed NVIDIA accelerated graphics drivers everything fine but Refresh rate is only 50 Hz but my monitor can support 80Hz how i can increase it ?
[05:28] <LjL> Seveas: i'm assuming their backup xorg.conf uses the open source driver :)
[05:28] <stefg> carstenpo: so you need to make an entry in /etc/fstab for it
[05:28] <Seveas> LjL, heh :)
[05:28] <carstenpo> stefg ist that complicated?
[05:28] <stefg> !fstab | carstenpo
[05:28] <ubotu> carstenpo: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[05:28] <LjL> manurespreader: are you sure the refresh rate actually *is* 50Hz, and not just *reported* as 50Hz? there is/was a bug in the proprietary driver with that.
[05:28] <homanj> manurespreader: you can change the refresh rate in System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution
[05:29] <manurespreader> homanj: but in System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution max is 56Hz
[05:29] <LjL> manurespreader, what does your *monitor* say that your refresh rate is?
[05:29] <doru> i just found this http://valid.tjp.hu/tjpzoom/ thanks anyway
[05:30] <homanj> manurespreader: then you might need to edit the settings manually.
[05:30] <manurespreader> homanj: how?
[05:30] <homanj> manurespreader: but i am not sure how to do that.
[05:30] <homanj> manurespreader: listen to LjL
[05:30] <manurespreader> LjL: how i can check it ?
[05:31] <LjL> manurespreader: CRT monitors usually have a button you can press to show an on-screen information dialog and menu.
[05:31] <ootm> im having problems installing ubuntu. It's hanging when it gets to "unpacking coreutils" when installing the base system
[05:31] <carstenpo> stefg, the fstab link doesnt work
[05:31] <manurespreader> LjL: I have lcd and there is no buttons :)
[05:31] <LjL> manurespreader: then i'm not sure you should be worrying about refresh rate at all
[05:32] <stefg> carstenpo: i'm looking at it right now :O
[05:32] <cwillu> any recommendations for usb wireless that works out of the box with fiesty?
[05:32] <LjL> manurespreader: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refresh_rate#LCD_displays
[05:34] <stefg> carstenpo: was this partition already present when you installed ubuntu?
[05:34] <ootm> im having problems installing ubuntu. It's hanging when it gets to "unpacking coreutils" when installing the base system - anyone have any ideas??
[05:34] <XBehave> while dding is there any indication of progress
[05:34] <manurespreader> LjL: maybe there is possibility to have nvidia panel for control resolution and refresh rate ?
[05:34] <stefg> ootm: very much looks like corrupt CD/broken drive
[05:34] <carstenpo> stefg, yeah it is an old harddisc with mp3s on it
[05:35] <mro1> trying to be patient, but is anyone able to help with non-working USB ports?  ( dmesg | grep usb gives device descriptor read error and device not accepting address error )
[05:35] <XBehave> and how long would it take to dd if=dev/urandom a 5GB partiton
[05:35] <carstenpo> stefg, it has only one partition
[05:35] <sluimers> I'm having problem detecting my printer. Does anyone know how I can detect an USB printer?
[05:35] <stefg> carstenpo: does it appear on the desktop?
[05:35] <cwillu> sluimers: what type of printer?
[05:35] <Seveas> XBehave, very long if you dont say bs=4096
[05:36] <ootm> stefg, i've used the same drive and disc to install to a different machine earlier today :S
[05:36] <Lilacor> Seveas: were you the one having trouble with your ntfs partition?
[05:36] <Seveas> Lilacor, no
[05:36] <manurespreader> LjL: pls help :)
[05:36] <LjL> manurespreader, maybe, and maybe you'll break your working X in the process. which seems quite gratuitous given that 56Hz is a perfectly good refresh rate on an LCD
[05:36] <stefg> ootm: how much ram does the machine have ?
[05:36] <ootm> 1gb
[05:36] <Lilacor> Seveas: ok
[05:36] <LjL> manurespreader, i help when there is a problem. when there isn't, i can't. do you have a problem? 56Hz refresh on an LCD is not one.
[05:37] <stefg> ootm: that's enough ram. however i'd perform a cd selftest
[05:37] <sluimers> MP360 Canon
[05:37] <manurespreader> LjL: but i want 80hz :D
[05:37] <ootm> stefg, ok will do now
[05:37] <doc|> any comand tool for correct vga on mode console , I have a Table http://<IP_ADDRESS>/wordpress/?p=4 ,and work whit vga=791 ang =792, but some times crash, my display is 1440x900
[05:37] <sluimers> cwillu, Canon MP360 Smartbase
[05:37] <yarddog> i  would not do 80
[05:37] <ootm> stefg, thanks
[05:37] <Seveas> manurespreader, lcd's can't do that
[05:37] <AlexanderM> so download a bootable cd with fdisk
[05:37] <carstenpo> stefg, my ubuntu box has no x-server installed
[05:38] <AlexanderM> but what can i do when i fixed my internal MBR?
[05:38] <carstenpo> stefg, it is an 6.06.1 server
[05:38] <robert_> anyone have any experience with dosemu?
[05:38] <Lilacor> robert_: what are you trying to use dosemu for?
[05:38] <und3ad> what shell ubuntu uses?
[05:38] <SlimeyPete> und3ad: bash
[05:38] <AlexanderM> stefg: thanks for the support so far, downloading ultimate boot cd right now :)
[05:38] <robert_> Lilacor: old dos games, and poking freedos with a stick, heh
[05:38] <SlimeyPete> und3ad: well. dash, which is like bash
[05:38] <cwillu> and dash for some stuff
[05:39] <manurespreader> Seveas: why? my monitors rate may be 80hh
[05:39] <Lilacor> robert_: old dos games will work underneath dosbox quite well.
[05:39] <und3ad> ok.. tnx...
[05:39] <ootm> und3ad, i'll also add that as well as bash you can use any shell you want
[05:39] <stefg> carstenpo: ok... so no automounting. Can you paste the /etc/fstab from to !pastebin mentioned in /topic ?
[05:39] <Tigger> hi
[05:39] <robert_> Lilacor: I know this, but I'm stubborn, and want to get dosemu working :P
[05:39] <sluimers> cwillu, Can you help me out?
[05:39] <manurespreader> Seveas: when i was used windows there was 80hz
[05:39] <cwillu> sluimers: one sec
[05:39] <LjL> manurespreader: and i want a gas lighter for my microwave oven
[05:39] <sluimers> cwillu, okay
[05:39] <Lilacor> robert_: is there a channel for #dosemu?
[05:40] <robert_> I tried #dosemu, but t'is empty
[05:40] <cwillu> Lilacor: what do you need?
[05:40] <LjL> manurespreader: there was, where? Windows reported that? and not Ubuntu is reporting 56Hz? does your *monitor* report anything? do you notice a picture difference?
[05:40] <LjL> s/not/now/
[05:40] <cwillu> bah, nvm
[05:40] <cyzie> anybody have setup vpn before?
[05:40] <Lilacor> cwillu: I need to eat.
[05:40] <cwillu> heh
[05:40] <Toma-> Does anyone know how/when the default user is setup on the live cd?
[05:40] <cwillu> I've got pizza, if you're in saskatoon :p
[05:40] <Lilacor> cyzie: yes
[05:40] <LjL> !xconfig > manurespreader    (manurespreader, see the private message from Ubotu) feel free to break your X if you really want to
[05:40] <cwillu> robert_:  what do you need?
[05:40] <Lilacor> cwillu: Is that next to Albuquerque, NM?
[05:40] <cwillu> not even close :p
[05:40] <Lilacor> cwillu: I'm kidding.
[05:41] <yarddog> Lilacor: are you in NM?
[05:41] <robert_> cwillu: I'm having issues getting it to recognize my files
[05:41] <Lilacor> yarddog: yah
[05:41] <cyzie> Lilacor, is there a good howto ?
[05:41] <carstenpo> stefg -> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22907/
[05:41] <yarddog> Lilacor: #ubuntu-newmexico :)
[05:41] <cyzie> Lilacor, i got pptpconfig installed, but somehow it cant connect to the vpn server
[05:41] <stefg> carstenpo: k, 1 sec
[05:41] <Lilacor> yarddog: :D
[05:41] <cwillu> robert_: k, give me a sec, I just need to look a printer driver up for sluimers
[05:41] <Lilacor> cyzie: I'm using the cisco VPN client
[05:42] <Tigger_> what's happened to the desktop install on the latest version of ubuntu ? it won't work of 4 different computers i've tried but the alternate CD works fine on all 4
[05:42] <robert_> cwillu: heh, k
[05:42] <sluimers> cwillu, I can't even detect the printer
[05:42] <ootm> stefg, seems to have been the onboard lan causing the hang (nvidia chips in the mobo) - I disabled it and now it works. weird.
[05:42] <cyzie> Lilacor, what's the different? cisco vpn client  only for cisco vpn server ?
[05:42] <tapas> hmm, where does the grub-update script take the UUID from.. a buddy of mine ghas transferred his system to another disk and adjusted the UUID..
[05:42] <Lilacor> cyzie: I think the cisco vpn client uses IPSec, not PPTP
[05:43] <sluimers> cwillu, I have Canon-S600-bj8pa06n.upp.pdd as printer driver, if that is one, I'm quite a n00b
[05:43] <tapas> but whenever he installs a new kernel it takes the old UUID
[05:43] <cyzie> Lilacor, ok, my vpn server use mschap-v2
[05:43] <stefg> carstenpo: what's the external disks device?
[05:43] <cwillu> sluimers: printer's on when you plug in the usb, right?
[05:43] <cwillu> assuming it's usb
[05:43] <sluimers> yup
[05:43] <Lilacor> cyzie: sorry, can't help you with that
[05:43] <sluimers> cwillu, yup
[05:43] <cyzie> ok
[05:44] <carstenpo> stefg, it is not external .. it is built in  its /dev/hdb1
[05:44] <IdleOne> canon does not provide linux drivers you will need to use something like Turboprint ( not free but free trial available ) or buy a Ubuntu supported printer :/
[05:44] <stefg> carstenpo: ok
[05:44] <sluimers> IdleOne, turbopoint also can't find it correctly
[05:45] <stefg> carstenpo: where should it be mounted?
[05:45] <guillem101> Planning to buy a UPS (Yukai/Mustek 400 usb) ... which software would you recommend me to shutdown the machine in poweroffs?
[05:45] <cwillu> sluimers:  apparently the MultiPass2500 driver works to print with
[05:45] <manurespreader> thanks for all :)
[05:45] <mro1> USB help please --- dmesg | grep usb gives me device descriptor read errors and device not accepting address errors.       is anyone able to help?
[05:45] <Lastinus> is there any shortcut to switch keyboard layouts
[05:45] <cwillu> sluimers: when you plug it in, it do anything at all, or it just doesn't figure out the driver?
[05:45] <rob_> folks.. .modprobe recognizes my wifi as 'eth1' not wlan0 -- how can I fix this?
[05:45] <carstenpo> stefg, if i read everything correctly /media/hdd would be nice. do I have to create that directory?
[05:45] <sluimers> cwillu, it doesn't do anything at all
[05:45] <cwillu> robert_:  so dosemu itself works, you just can't see the file system?
[05:46] <guillem101> Lastinus, you mean key-shortcut? or the keyboard applet does the trick?
[05:46] <cwillu> sluimers: you've tried different usb ports / tried other usb devices in the first port, right?
[05:46] <Lastinus> guillem101: any one of them
[05:46] <robert_> cwillu: correct. I can't see the files that I stick there
[05:46] <stefg> carstenpo: /media/hdb, you mean... but you could also take a descriptive name like /media/music or /media/mp3
[05:46] <sluimers> cwillu, different ports, not different cable.. now checking
[05:46] <cwillu> robert_: just c:\, or for every drive letter/  (d:\ is /home/<you>)
[05:47] <guillem101> Lastinus, if you are using gnome, the keyboard applet would suffice.
[05:47] <rmd_> when kubuntu upgraded the kernel package, the installation process over-wrote my menu.lst, erasing a couple of my entries, forcing me to enter them in by hand.  has anyone mentioned this to the maintainers and thought about perhaps coming up with a better way for the package to act?
[05:47] <Anguis> Ok, I'm back with more detail about my error - thanks for the help. Using AMD64 Feisty, in GRUB, I select the normal linux boot option and then the computer flashes a message on the monitor including something about the kernal being "kept alive" before shutting off. Computer then hangs up and I have to hit the 'reset' button to get things going again. I'm able to start up in Recovery mode - I type 'exit' at the resultant root command pro
[05:47] <Anguis> able to login normally (at the GUI prompts).
[05:47] <quangle> hey guys. I'd like to do a network install of ubuntu. I did it with fedora before (using an http server). can you point me to unstructions for doing the same with ubuntu?
[05:47] <cwillu> rmd_: which entries?
[05:47] <stefg> !traffic
[05:47] <ubotu> NOTICE - There is a lot of traffic in this channel at the moment. Please try to keep your sentences into a single message, avoid repeating the same question multiple times, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org for pasting, remember to mention the nickname of the person you're addressing, and join #ubuntu-offtopic for anything that is not Ubuntu support. Thank you for understanding!
[05:47] <robert_> also
[05:47] <cwillu> ?
[05:48] <rmd_> cwillu: it erased everything and replaced it with auto-generated, generic ubuntu entries pointing to the two installed kernel images
[05:48] <robert_> it complains about version differences
[05:48] <rmd_> cwillu: it didnt even automatically add an entry for windows xp home, as it did during the initial installation
[05:48] <sluimers> cwillu, I tried testpaging using turboprinter...nothing happens.
[05:48] <carstenpo> stefg, okay, but there are not only mp3s on that disk, there are some video files too. i think /media/hdb is okay. do i have to create that folder?
[05:48] <robert_> ERROR: builtins plugin version mismatch: found 0, required 2
[05:48] <robert_> ERROR: You should upgrade your generic.com, isemu.com and other utilities
[05:48] <robert_> from the latest dosemu package!
[05:48] <cwillu> robert_: did you have a manually compiled or installed version ever?
[05:48] <robert_> ooh
[05:49] <robert_> manual compile
[05:49] <ZeZu> rmd_, yes and it replaces w/ UUID crap
[05:49] <cwillu> robert_: k
[05:49] <AlexanderM> brb
[05:49] <AlexanderM> i hope
[05:49] <AlexanderM> ^^'
[05:49] <stefg> carstenpo: yes, sudo mkdir /media/hdb
[05:49] <sluimers> cwillu, so it's not h ecable either
[05:49] <robert_> I have a feeling that has something to do with it
[05:49] <ZeZu> pissed me off as well, i have other entries for OS's as wel
[05:49] <cwillu> robert_: which install are you trying to use?
[05:49] <robert_> install of what?
[05:49] <elyase> Hello, how can you make a conf with gmail account
[05:49] <robert_> dosemu?
[05:49] <cwillu> robert_: gonna go private chat
[05:49] <robert_> k
[05:50] <rmd_> ZeZu: yeah.  it's a ridiculous way to do things.
[05:50] <Anguis> the difference I notice is that the screen that indicates boot progress with the bar under the Ubuntu logo is skipped in the recovery mode process I use to boot into Ubuntu.
[05:50] <jcs> is there any way to install non-UTF-8 locales?
[05:50] <elyase> Hello, how can you make a conf with gmail account
[05:50] <elyase> ?
[05:50] <elyase> Hello, how can you make a conf with gmail account using gaim?
[05:51] <stefg> carstenpo: and for good measure i'd 'sudo chmod 775 /media/hdb'
[05:52] <carstenpo> stefg, okay, both done
[05:52] <Broccoly> is there a place where the ubuntu updates that are being pushed out explained? Like the new kernel revision this morning, what was changed?
[05:52] <stefg> carstenpo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22908/
[05:52] <Toma-> Does anyone know how/when the default user is setup on the live cd?
[05:52] <feistel> hi
[05:52] <LjL> Broccoly: install apt-listchanges... though the changelogs are not always very verbose
[05:52] <feistel> I have a problem with OOo 2 in Ubuntu
[05:52] <feistel> when I clic in "Slide Transition" option of "Slide Show" menu, the window don't show
[05:52] <Broccoly> LjL: is there something online somewhere?
[05:53] <LjL> Broccoly: i don't know
[05:53] <madsporkmurderer> I am trying to remove un-needed packages; is there a way to list packages which are not depended on by any other
[05:53] <LjL> !info deborphan > madsporkmurderer
[05:53] <LjL> !info debfoster > madsporkmurderer
[05:54] <Toma-> !casper
[05:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about casper - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:54] <kritzstapf> madsporkmurderer: packages that have been installed automatically and arent needed anymore will be removed by apt-get autoremove
[05:54] <LjL> madsporkmurderer: also, since Edgy, APT has had a feature whereby packages can be "autoremoved" if they were installed automatically (i.e. as dependencies of something else) and are not depended by anything anymore.
[05:54] <ootm> madsporkmurderer, have u tried man apt-get?
[05:54] <carstenpo> stefg, thanks vor that, i changed the file. do i have to reboot to get the effects?
[05:54] <stefg> carstenpo: so you can just take the /dev/hdb1-line from that (and get the tabs straight). the sudo mount -a , done
[05:54] <TwigEther> Hey all - I just installed teamspeak but it's channelling all sounds (Including music) as well as microphone input to TS. How do I fix this? :)
[05:54] <carstenpo> stefg, ah, okay, thanks again
[05:55] <kintaro0e> hi guys..how will make my httpd to redirect if i go to: crm.foo.com --> crm.foo.com/blank
[05:55] <madsporkmurderer> Thanks for that Ill give it a go
[05:56] <Broccoly> so uhm none of 1200 users here care about what changes are being pushed out?;-)
[05:57] <Lilacor> Broccoly: you can look at the kernel changes online
[05:57] <XBehave> LjL can that feature be reset?#
[05:57] <Broccoly> Lilacor: I'm sure I can, that's what i'm asking for, where?:)
[05:57] <sldkfj> Broccoly, we're pretty much 'mind numbed robots'
[05:57] <PriceChild> Broccoly, they should also be explained in the update-manager?
[05:57] <Lilacor> kintaro0e: you probably want to ask that under #apache
[05:58] <LjL> XBehave: what?
[05:58] <Lilacor> Broccoly: look under www.kernel.org
[05:58] <PriceChild> c/s d
[05:59] <XBehave> can u remove files from the list of auto-removed files? i removed kde-desktop because i didnt want a few of its packages and now theyre all listed as autoremoveable
[05:59] <Lilacor> Broccoly: actually, nevermind
[05:59] <Anguis> stefg: I read the forum posts about using 64 bit ubuntu and was persuaded to install it instead of 32 bit on my new computer - I looked at the potential problems as oportunities to learn (i'd be pretty much learning on 32 bit, as well, b/c I'm pretty new to all this).
[05:59] <LjL> XBehave, just type "sudo apt-get install names-of-packages" and they'll become marked as manually installed.
[05:59] <PriceChild> XBehave, doing "sudo apt-get install package" will stop it being autoremoved afaik
[06:00] <Broccoly> like they pushed kernels several days ago and now again, i'm curious why
[06:00] <backtick> hi all, i'm running feisty, after I run updates yesterday (adept_updater,) I can't play any sound files any more (xine), my card is an intel builtin one, any ideas?
[06:00] <shadow2k> wenas a todos

[06:00] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[06:00] <XBehave> but the list is huge! is that the only way
[06:00] <_snajper_> does anyone know why ubuntu 7.04 would only report 256MB on a 3GB RAM DELL server?
[06:00] <Broccoly> like the last kernel had broken my laptop, numlock was stuck and could not be turned off, rendered laptop useless
[06:00] <sven-tek> does ubuntu check the hashsum or signature or pakets to be installed?
[06:00] <VincentMX> anybody who has any xperience with Ekiga?
[06:00] <aa^way> how i can see a Serial? by serial i mean im trying to get off a data by serial cable
[06:01] <PriceChild> Broccoly, one second
[06:01] <aa^way> from videocamera, what i need to use for it=
[06:01] <VincentMX> is it possible to make free pc2phone calls?
[06:01] <callidusfox> Anyone has any experience with a WebCam ? I have a laptop built in camera, is it not possible at all to use it ?
[06:01] <wols> VincentMX: wrong channel
[06:01] <PriceChild> Broccoly, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2007-May/000536.html
[06:01] <LjL> XBehave: if you want to mark *all* currently installed packages as manually installed... i don't know, maybe there is a correct way. but you could do something such as  dpkg --get-selections | awk ' { print $1 } ' | xargs -n 20 apt-get install
[06:02] <LjL> add a "grep ^ii"
[06:02] <stefg> Anguis: you are suffering from a hard to track bug / incompatibility with your hardware (Acpi or IRQ related). Since you'll need flash and win-codecs sooner or later anyway, and it that would require tricks like setting up a 32bit environment on a 64bit system. it's just not worth the effort to go through this.
[06:02] <georgy28> callidusfox : wich laptop ?
[06:02] <callidusfox> georgy28: Asus G1
[06:02] <wols> aa^way: minicom os screen ttyS0

[06:02] <callidusfox> georgy28: http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3403
[06:02] <mceGEEK> anyone have a server rack at home
[06:03] <PriceChild> Broccoly, that good enough? :)
[06:03] <georgy28> callidusfox : wait a moment, I try to find thewebpage about asus webcam
[06:03] <LjL> !anyone
[06:03] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:03] <VincentMX> wols, but Ekiga comes by default on Ubuntu
[06:03] <callidusfox> georgy28: Please.
[06:03] <aa^way> wols: but wor a minidv? (firewire?)
[06:03] <aa^way> for*
[06:03] <Broccoly> PriceChild: yeah lists.ubuntu.com should have it looks like, thanks
[06:03] <mceGEEK> i need some advice on what kinda of rack to get considering there are so many available
[06:03] <_snajper_> why would ubuntu 7.04 would only report 256MB on a 3GB RAM DELL server? what do i need to change?
[06:03] <mceGEEK> first the rack and then i need servers
[06:04] <LjL> seems a bit offtopic
[06:04] <mceGEEK> i know
[06:04] <mceGEEK> but i've to install linux on those servers
[06:04] <bengali3> Heya, when i run "apt-get install supertux" i get denied: "are you root?"  how do i change to root??
[06:04] <callidusfox> georgy28: just one more note, I think the camera I have is Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd
[06:04] <ompaul> mceGEEK, that is not a ubuntu question, perhaps talking to a seller or two might help you with options you have locally,
[06:04] <LjL> bengali3: "sudo apt-get install supertux"
[06:04] <d4vidin0> hi all guys
[06:04] <LjL> !root > bengali3    (bengali3, see the private message from Ubotu)
[06:04] <tapas> !sudo
[06:04] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[06:05] <Tb0n3> I seem to be having no luck changing themes with beryl and emerald-themes, is there some hidden method?
[06:05] <mceGEEK> i just wanted to know what other people may have for server/rack
[06:05] <bengali3> thx!
[06:05] <LjL> !beryl > Tb0n3    (Tb0n3, see the private message from Ubotu)
[06:05] <sldkfj> mceGEEK, a server rack?   yeah, but I've converted it into a shiferobe
[06:05] <tapas> Tb0n3: make sure you have the right window decorator enabled
[06:05] <wols> aa^way: firewire is not a "serial port" even if it is a protocol over a serial wire. do you call SATA a "serial port" too?
[06:05] <tapas> !sudo > bengali3
[06:05] <aa^way> wols, i asked if i use firewire
[06:05] <tapas> hah, ok :)
[06:05] <LjL> wols: why not? well, SATA is not supposed to be an external "port" AFAIK
[06:05] <bengali3> thanks all!
[06:05] <LjL> if firewire is serisl, though, it's serial
[06:05] <wols> VincentMX: but not the service to use it
[06:06] <stefg> _snajper_: try to pass mem=3072 to the kernel at boot
[06:06] <wols> LjL: a serial port is RS232C or 485
[06:06] <LjL> wols: the fact that RS232 ports are normally called "the serial port" by many doesn't prevent other ports from being serial ports
[06:06] <wols> other wise USB, firewire, i2c, SATA, all are "seria ports"
[06:06] <mceGEEK> sldkfj: any ideas will be appreciated .. just want something well organized
[06:06] <georgy28> callidusfox, : here is the site where you can load the driver for your webcam http://sourceforge.net/projects/syntekdriver/
[06:06] <mceGEEK> without spending a whole lot of money
[06:07] <VincentMX> wols ok
[06:07] <LjL> wols: and what is wrong with that? USB is serial, it quite is.
[06:07] <callidusfox> georgy28:Thank you. I hope it comes with instruction on how to isntall it.
[06:07] <wols> LjL: then you tell him what to use
[06:08] <georgy28> callidusfox : yes, go to the web page, and there are instruction.
[06:09] <frandavid100> hi, is there someone who's used to using poedit and can give me a hand?
[06:10] <Jestre> Is there a cpan2rpm-like tool for Ubuntu?
[06:10] <callidusfox> georgy28: is it under Documentation ?
[06:11] <bruenig> Jester, I doubt that there is a tool to convert packages to rpm in a deb distro
[06:11] <LjL> !info debaux | Jestre
[06:11] <ubotu> jestre: debaux: Debian Auxiliary Programs. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.9-1 (feisty), package size 29 kB, installed size 148 kB
[06:11] <_snajper_> stefg: will try.
[06:11] <georgy28> callidusfox : here is the side : http://syntekdriver.sourceforge.net/
[06:11] <Pelo> what were today's updates about ?
[06:11] <SlimeyPete> Jestre: try alien
[06:12] <LjL> or maybe not
[06:12] <callidusfox> georgy28: but on that site, there is only download, no idea how to isntall it
[06:12] <callidusfox> georgy28: How baout this? http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html
[06:12] <LjL> it's not even worth using for packages that actually were RPM to start with
[06:12] <LjL> i don't see why anyone would use it for CPAN packages
[06:12] <georgy28> callidusfox : don't work ! The module comes already with the kernel
[06:13] <pai> how do i upgrade my Gail 2.0.0 beta 6 to pidgin? i'm using feisty... pls help
[06:13] <Jestre> LjL: I'll check it out, thanks
[06:13] <stefg> _snajper_: mem=3072M , btw.... to indicate Megabyte, not byte ;-)
[06:13] <Freddie5> is there a way to just download the ubuntu live cd, or do i have to download the entire ubuntu install?
[06:13] <callidusfox> georgy28: the link I gave you is what does not work
[06:13] <callidusfox> georgy28: ?
[06:13] <mc44> Freddie5: the live cd is the install cd
[06:13] <Freddie5> mc44 alrightie, thanks

[06:20] <Paradoxx> How do I add a user via the command line?
[06:20] <wols> z3r0ph3wl: did you install pidgin via synaptic?
[06:21] <callidusfox> georgy28: before we go on, maybe look at this and it makes more sense for you? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=410792&highlight=asus+webcam

[06:21] <linuxnub> hey after the kernel update this morning my virtual box wont work anymore help plz
[06:21] <CarlFK> Paradoxx: adduser
[06:21] <callidusfox> georgy28: and this too, webcam section http://www.rothlaender.net/a8js.html
[06:21] <IdleOne> sldkfj, plastic changes the flavor of champagne
[06:21] <gonzaloaf_work> hi, I tried to  install the flash plugin in opera but I receive this error: ERROR: Opera is not supported., why?
[06:21] <z3r0ph3wl> wols, via deb
[06:21] <wols> z3r0ph3wl: via dpkg? you can check if something is installed with dpkg -l <packagename>
[06:21] <g0ow> i have Feisty installed and Dapper, along with windows XP...i have no need for dapper anymore...so can i just delete the dapper partition and leave it like that, or will i still need to mess with the MBR?
[06:21] <wols> gonzaloaf_work: is opera in any shape or form in ubuntu?
[06:22] <vbabiy> i am tring to convert my windows server to linux and i have about 6 harddrive and i need to convert them to ext but not sure what is the best way to do this
[06:22] <wols> g0ow: you will need to mess with the mbr. fixmbr in a windows recovery console for example
[06:22] <georgy28> callidusfox,: yes, you can follow this how-to, it's the same driver ;)
[06:22] <IdleOne> g0ow, you can use gparted to format it and then join the empty partition to one you are using to add space
[06:22] <gonzaloaf_work> wols, I installed it with automatix2
[06:22] <callidusfox> georgy28: the first or the 2nd link ?
[06:23] <wols> !automatix2
[06:23] <wols> !automatix
[06:23] <g0ow> idleone, will i need to mess with the MBR if i do that?
[06:23] <wols> gonzaloaf_work: is automatix in ubuntu?
[06:23] <callidusfox> georgy28: And this is no good ? http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html
[06:23] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[06:23] <IdleOne> g0ow, you shouldnt nope
[06:23] <gonzaloaf_work> wols, not by default
[06:23] <g0ow> thank you, ill let you know how it goes =]
[06:23] <wols> gonzaloaf_work: where did you download automatix from?
[06:23] <z3r0ph3wl> wols, yes it still there. how should i remove it?
[06:23] <gonzaloaf_work> wols, well so the same for opera? so there's no support for opera?
[06:23] <wols> z3r0ph3wl: same way as you installed it
[06:24] <IdleOne> wols, if you use automatix and it breaks your system you might as well do a fresh install
[06:24] <gonzaloaf_work> wols, from their site
[06:24] <wols> gonzaloaf_work: bingo
[06:24] <wols> gonzaloaf_work: unless their site is ubuntu.com: no luck for you
[06:24] <georgy28> callidusfox : wait, the how-to say to compile a kernel, but it's not necssary, and gspac driver will not work with you cam
[06:24] <gonzaloaf_work> well maybe somebody could give me some help anyway?
[06:24] <sldkfj> wols, they have a webpage
[06:24] <IdleOne> wols, #ubuntu does not support automatix breakage btwe
[06:24] <g0ow> idleone, is gparted LiveCD only?
[06:24] <KJW> how can I cd to another users directory if cd doesn't work with sudo?
[06:24] <wols> gonzaloaf_work: put the flash shared lib(s) into the directory where opera expects its plugins. wherever that woul dbe
[06:24] <callidusfox> georgy28: strangem as this guide says it does http://www.rothlaender.net/a8js.html
[06:24] <IdleOne> g0ow, no it is in repos
[06:25] <sldkfj> kjw, cd without sudo
[06:25] <Paradoxx> How do I change the password of a user that is already there?
[06:25] <wols> Paradoxx: man passwd
[06:25] <callidusfox> georgy28: ok, then maybe you can guide me, as compiling kernel looks scary, I jsut want to get the driver going
[06:25] <vbabiy> hey guys how can i get more information about setting up more then one hardrive in linux
[06:25] <vbabiy> like would i mnt the dirve to a folder
[06:25] <callidusfox> vbabiy: you jsut plugin the hard drive and that is it
[06:25] <KJW> sldkfj: um, user directories have permissions on them that can't be accessed by a regular user
[06:25] <sldkfj> cd doesn't demand sudo privileges
[06:25] <Baalial> Does anyone know how to use a .out file after compiled from a .cpp file?
[06:25] <linuxnub> hey after the kernel update this morning my virtual box wont work anymore help plz
[06:25] <wols> vbabiy: is tha harddisk partitioned and formatted already?
[06:26] <georgy28> callidusfox : you try that ?
[06:26] <gonzaloaf_work> wols, this is called the manual installation right?
[06:26] <vbabiy> wols, no
[06:26] <wols> gonzaloaf_work: yes
[06:26] <callidusfox> georgy28: no, I have not done anything yet, I am wating for your instructions
[06:26] <wols> vbabiy: those are tzhe first steps
[06:26] <graveson1> i manage a small network (consisting of ADSL routers) .what tools can i use to monitor this network, block popular p2p apps and performance monitoring
[06:26] <wols> partition, then format then either mount manually or edit your /etc/fstab
[06:26] <vbabiy> wols, will the ubuntu notice install drive on its own
[06:27] <vbabiy> wols, or will i have to configure them my self
[06:27] <wols> vbabiy: if they are partitioned and formatted it usually will yes
[06:27] <georgy28> callidusfox, : do lsmod in a console and look if the module gpcsa is loaded
[06:27] <wols> if not: you have to configure
[06:27] <AlexanderM> so, got my windows up and running
[06:27] <AlexanderM> thanks for that one stefg
[06:27] <fedeloooort> hi
[06:27] <AlexanderM> but now i want grub installed on my external harddisk:o
[06:28] <KJW> sldkfj: how can I cd to a user directory, when I try it, I get permission denied
[06:28] <vbabiy> wols, ok well it was nfts but theni had delete the partion and convert it to ext3 with gparted but then grub crashed on boot
[06:28] <stefg> AlexanderM: now to the interesting part: getting grub installed to the MBR of your USB disk :-)
[06:29] <graveson1> i manage a small network (consisting of ADSL routers) .what tools can i use to monitor this network, block popular p2p apps and performance monitoring
[06:29] <stefg> AlexanderM: so boot the Desktop CD and plug the USB drive in
[06:29] <AlexanderM> stefg: any suggestions on that one? 0=)
[06:29] <stefg> AlexanderM: so boot the Desktop CD and plug the USB drive in
[06:29] <callidusfox> georgy28: gpcsa is not there
[06:29] <HiroViro> hey
[06:29] <AlexanderM> stefg: ill be right back then ^^
[06:29] <KJW> ok, what is the best way to login as a root user then?
[06:29] <HiroViro> I just installed apache2 a couple of weeks ago, is there a way to see if i have the latest version?
[06:30] <Baalial> Does anyone here know how to use a .out file compiled from a .cpp file?
[06:30] <pescador> what is ubuntu?
[06:30] <mjr> Baalial, by running it. ./a.out

[06:30] <cherva> anyone using wine-doors ?
[06:30] <_snajper_> HiroViro: use "-v" to view apache version
[06:30] <georgy28> callidusfox : ok, now do : sudo modprobe spca5xx
[06:31] <BlackChaos_> im trying to install ubuntu on my moms old laptop cause its has a more friendly user interface and its way more stable than winxp but when i started the live cd i get this error there was an error starting the gnome settings daemon. some things such as themes, sound, or background settings maynot work correctly.
[06:31] <BlackChaos_> and there is an error message but its pretty long
[06:31] <fuzzy> quit
[06:31] <sldkfj> KJW, you don't have a user account that was setup?
[06:31] <pescador> ahh thx heikki
[06:31] <HiroViro> _snajper_: how do i see if it need to be upgraded?
[06:31] <callidusfox> georgy28: FATAL: Module spca5xx not found.
[06:31] <Bigcheese> ya, so a quick kinda funny story. My brother is running Fedora on his computer and has been trying to install VLC for about 2 months. He finaly got it to work and just told me. So then I replyed with "sodo apt-get install vlc". He then responds with "Just one command? Ubuntu's not linux then" :P
[06:31] <lockd> this is really a GRUB issue, but my USB drive interferes with GRUB because it shifts the disk numbers
[06:32] <lockd> is there a way to avoid this?
[06:32] <bullgard4> kern.log reports: "hash matches device ttyd7." What is 'ttyd7'?
[06:32] <CheshireViking> BlackChaos_, i had a similar error when i was installing on my wifes toshiba laptop and I had to use the alternate cd to get it installed
[06:32] <BlackChaos_> oh u mran the cd that u can order 4 free?
[06:32] <BlackChaos_> mean
[06:32] <cherva> anyone using wine-doors ? and successfully installed DirectX 9c ?
[06:32] <georgy28> callidusfox : strange, this module come with the kernel :(
[06:32] <KJW> sldkfj, yes, I have an adminstrator account that I can use sudo in, and a couple other user accounts. I need to be able to get into one of the users home directories, but cd gives me permission denied, and sudo cd does not work
[06:33] <HiroViro> I have apache2 2.23 is there an easy way to upgrade to 2.2.4?
[06:33] <KJW> sldkfj: so if you or someone else can tell me how to log in as root, that would help :)
[06:33] <phillywhitetrash> try sudo su
[06:33] <CheshireViking> BlackChaos_, there's 2 ways of installing ubuntu, one which uses the live cd which you've downloaded, the other uses a text based installer, but you still download it via the internet
[06:33] <BlackChaos_> wat do u by alternate CD i only have the one which i burned
[06:33] <callidusfox> georgy28: so what is going on? I cannot simply isntall the driver ?
[06:33] <Baalial> ??
[06:33] <Baalial> So wait. mjr, what's the proper command to run it?
[06:33] <CheshireViking> !alternate | BlackChaos_
[06:33] <BlackChaos_> oh ok
[06:33] <ubotu> BlackChaos_: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal

[06:33] <IdleOne> !fixgrub > g0ow this is in case you need to fix the bootloader after merging the partitions
[06:34] <lockd> anyone use LILO, it seems like it may be my only option
[06:34] <BehindY0u> lilo is good :)
[06:34] <Bogaurd> I've just installed the nvidia beta drivers... now if I play a video in vlc, it has no sound, and says it's not responding :S

[06:34] <cwgannon> yes
[06:34] <NikoC> jamster545_, yes it is
[06:34] <jamster545_> it is?
[06:34] <jamster545_> ty
[06:34] <phillywhitetrash> yes debian based
[06:35] <lockd> well, i try to install LILO but all it does is tear away the old MBR
[06:35] <cwgannon> that's the first time i've ever answered a question!
[06:35] <jamster545_> i am downloading a program and it has it for different dist.
[06:35] <lockd> it just loads windows the next time it powers on
[06:35] <BlackChaos_> k thx alot guys ill do that
[06:35] <IdleOne> cwgannon, congrats :)
[06:35] <cwgannon> :)
[06:35] <BehindY0u> wait you install lilo and then it still boots on windows, thats what youre saying?
[06:35] <HiroViro> I have apache2 2.23 is there an easy way to upgrade to 2.2.4?
[06:35] <linuxnub> hey why did that last kernel update break so much stuff for everyone?
[06:35] <lockd> BehindY0u: yes
[06:36] <jamster545_> i have another question... will a file with the ext .deb open in konsole/terminal?
[06:36] <BehindY0u> do you have more than 1 hd?
[06:36] <linuxnub> my virtual box wont work now with kernel source errors now
 I get Fatal error running install comamand from nvidia
 nvidia(0): failed to load the nvidia kernel module
 nvidia(0): ***aborting
 screens found, but none have a usable configuration
 doc does that mean my monitor is not configured properly?
[06:36] <lockd> BehindY0u: yes, and USB adds another
 hmm just went into sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
 didnt help
[06:36] <Skiff> any1 can help?
[06:36] <cwgannon> quick Q: i have a bunch of truetype fonts ... where do i put them and then what do i do with them to get them ready for use?
[06:36] <lockd> BehindY0u: grub balks when it's plugged in
[06:36] <phillywhitetrash> double click on the deb file and it will open in synaptic
[06:36] <Skiff> nividia driver was compiled and should be working with my video card
[06:36] <georgy28> callidusfox : I'm under edgy, so wait I'm gonna to my other computer under feisty
[06:36] <BehindY0u> well that means that lilo doesnt install on the MBR

[06:36] <lockd> BehindY0u: how can I force it to?
[06:36] <jamster545_> so just save it then open?
[06:36] <linuxnub> isnt there some kinda coordination with the package managers for these updates?
[06:36] <callidusfox> georgy28: ok
[06:37] <Skiff> elkbuntu, gotcha
[06:37] <callidusfox> georgy28: do you have an msn or yahoo or whatever where we can talk ?
[06:37] <lockd> BehindY0u: I need the loader on the MBR, all of it.. unlike grub
[06:37] <boenki> hi marcin ;)
[06:37] <phillywhitetrash> firestarter
[06:37] <unimatrix12> go to system and fonts
[06:37] <Ropechoborra> firestarter?
[06:37] <linuxnub> at least it didnt break my nvidia settings dunno if im lucky or not on that tho
[06:37] <NikoC> jamster545_, easiest way (at least I think) for installing .deb files is opening a terminal and typing 'sudo dpkg -i name_of_the file'
[06:37] <bruenig> linuxnub, from what I have seen, the stuff in main and restricted tend to have some measure of coordination, stuff in universe not really
[06:37] <unimatrix12> drag and drop the new fonts, log out and log in to use them...
[06:37] <phillywhitetrash> gui firewall
[06:37] <jamster545_> does anyone have AVG free edition for linux on their comps?
[06:37] <Freddie5> when i boot from the live cd, am i able to write to the hard drive? if not, is there a way that i can set it up so i can?
[06:37] <unimatrix12> or go to location font:///
