[02:58] <Falstius> con-man: no problem.  Oh, and that's just for dapper (and I think edgy)
[02:58] <h0ndaracer2> i got another question can i login remotly into my computer from a windows os
[02:58] <poppyer> yes, zspada15, I am getting crazy with the compiling, try it for a whole night
[02:58] <campbch> anyone here familiar with battle for wesnoth?
[02:58] <diskus> Shaezsche: read some tests about filesystem by googleing
[02:58] <con-man> Falstius: i hope edgy, thats what im using
[02:58] <zspada15> poppyer, oh..
[02:58] <Shaezsche> i forgot to set a mount point for my ntfs windows partition during install, is it too late to adjust that?
[02:58] <cornell> Can anybody recommend DVD authoring software for Ubuntu?
[02:59] <jrib> factboy818181: ls /usr/lib/orbit-2.0
[02:59] <un_operateur1> Shaezsche, reiserFS is a journalling file system -- that means if an unexpected shutdown happens -- data is recovered by replaying the journal
[02:59] <campbch> i'm trying to play online, but the official server's running version 1.1.12, which is two versions old and not distributed anymore
[02:59] <campbch> and i don't know what to do?
[02:59] <swanfl> cornell, use qdvdauthor
[02:59] <nofxx> where I need to put my dns servers in xubuntu besides resolv.conf, wich gets erased every boot? 6.10
[02:59] <campbch> did they just not want it to be an option? was it an oversight? or what?
[02:59] <un_operateur1> Shaezsche, you can always mount your windows partition at anytime
[02:59] <swanfl> it's a littel unstable here and there but it works well once you get the hang of it
[02:59] <Shaezsche> then why is it almost universally accepted that ext3 is more reliable? most distros use it by default
[02:59] <Shaezsche> how can i set it to auto mount at /windows?
[03:00] <diskus> un_operateur1: except I've heard that reiserfs and xfs if I remember also, have some strange situations when it breaks
[03:00] <Aar0n444> FFS.
[03:00] <h0ndaracer2> is ubuntu distributing their newest version free yet to ship to you or is it still their older versions on the disk
[03:00] <swanfl> be prepared to compile it yourself, as the official ubuntu package is out of date
[03:00] <dabaR> h0ndaracer2: dapper
[03:00] <cornell> swanfl: I tried it, It keeps crashing on me...  Finally got to where I could make the dvd, and it threw errors about no .ifo file.  But if that's the one to use, I'll keep trying.
[03:00] <h0ndaracer2> ok
[03:00] <Falstius> Shaezsche: ext3 is a journaling file system too.  And it is more mature than Reiser so most distros stick with it.  There was a move to reiser for a while because it has some speed gains, but those have mostly disapeared except in very specific and unusual cases.
[03:00] <dabaR> h0ndaracer2: shipit.ubuntu.com
[03:00] <un_operateur1> diskus, well, there are no guarantees with any FS -- EXtx, Jfs, Xfs or ntfs
[03:01] <Shaezsche> i see
[03:01] <Shaezsche> i forgot to set a mount point for my ntfs windows partition during install, is it too late to adjust that?
[03:01] <triplah_> can anyone tell me the name of xchat's packages? i can only find xchat-gnome
[03:01] <Shaezsche> how can i set it to auto mount at /windows?
[03:01] <swanfl> cornell, are you using the official package?
[03:01] <zspada15> Shaezsche, also ext3 wasnt created by a murderer
[03:01] <Shaezsche> LOLOLOL
[03:01] <jrib> !ntfs | Shaezsche
[03:01] <ubotu> Shaezsche: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[03:01] <dabaR> triplah_: that is its name
[03:01] <cornell> swanfl, I guess... got it from synaptic
[03:01] <n2diy> triplah, that is what I'm using now.
[03:01] <dabaR> !universe > triplah_
[03:02] <kingace> is a swap partition necessary for a computer with 512 mb ram?
[03:02] <triplah_> dabaR, E: Couldn't find package xchat
[03:02] <swanfl> ditch it and build it yourself, cornell: qdvdauthor.sf.net
[03:02] <PriceChild> kingace, best safe than sorry
[03:02] <triplah_> i have universe
[03:02] <triplah_> well i thought i did
[03:02] <dabaR> !xchat
[03:02] <ubotu> xchat: IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.6.6-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 275 kB, installed size 760 kB
[03:02] <PriceChild> kingace, i have one with 768 just incase, although i rarely go over
[03:02] <swanfl> my wife had the same exact problem. she uses it as well
[03:02] <jbroome> good to see ubotu back.
[03:02] <Aar0n444> FFS
[03:02] <PriceChild> kingace, if you run out of ram, things will get zapped randomly
[03:02] <cornell> swanfl.... oooh.... I hate "build it yourself",  But I'll try
[03:03] <jrib> Aar0n444: FFS?
[03:03] <swanfl> good luck :
[03:03] <swanfl> :)
[03:03] <kingace> Pricechild: if i finish the install, and then later on add a swap type partition, will it automatically become my swap partition?
[03:03] <n2diy> cornell, it is part of the learning curve.
[03:03] <cafuego> jrib: fast file system (bsd) or for fuck's sake
[03:03] <cornell> I hope there's a good script, or step by step howto
[03:03] <PriceChild> kingace, if you add it to /etc/fstab , yes
[03:03] <swanfl> I just compiled a kde game, what didn't it want me to install through adept :)
[03:03] <PriceChild> !language cafuego
[03:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about language cafuego - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[03:03] <ubotu> cafuego: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:03] <kingace> PriceChild: ill just do that then
[03:03] <kingace> thanks
[03:03] <PriceChild> kingace, good luck :)
[03:03] <Aar0n444> I'm  in GRUB, and I'm trying to edit the boot commands for Ubuntu, and I remove acpi=off to try something, I press enter, then escape to go back to the boot selection. I hit enter on Ubuntu and then I boot. Doesn't work. Return to editor, and the acpi=off is still there
[03:03] <Aar0n444> Any ideas?
[03:04] <cornell> Yeah, but I've got enough stuff to learn... can't do it all at one time ;-)
[03:04] <Shan1> anyone here using compiz or beryl with a metacity or kwin theme?
[03:04] <jrib> cafuego: didn't know about the first one, but I was wondering what the reason for it was
[03:04] <jrib> !anyone | Shan1
[03:04] <ubotu> Shan1: 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?
[03:04] <cafuego> jrib: Dunno, maybe Aar0n444 ran out of patience with someone/something
[03:04] <n2diy> Aar0n444:  You don't have permission to write to the file. Did you back it up?
[03:05] <Aar0n444> No I didn't back it up
[03:05] <Shan1> sure thing..new to irc...i'm wanting to use kubuntu's default theme with the new install of compiz. i click themes and it never loads
[03:05] <Aar0n444> I just hit Escape before it booted to go into the editor
[03:05] <zspada15> !deb
[03:05] <ubotu> deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click on them (Ubuntu) or right-click and select Kubuntu Package Menu->install (Kubuntu)
[03:05] <kitche> Aar0n444 what does the error that grub outputs
[03:05] <Aar0n444> There isn't an error.
[03:06] <n2diy> Aar0n444: ah your at the boot prompt, I thought you were using gedit.
[03:06] <Aar0n444> Just that my PCMCIA WiFi card doesn't work, and I'm sure it's one of the options I've specified
[03:06] <jrib> factboy818181: *poke*
[03:07] <kitche> Aar0n444 well you said it doesn't work figuring grub
[03:07] <Shan1> how can i use kubuntu's default theme with my new compiz install?
[03:07] <h0ndaracer2> what exactly is shell programing?
[03:08] <dabaR> h0ndaracer2: ask wikipedia
[03:08] <h0ndaracer2> lol i fogot about google
[03:08] <h0ndaracer2> google is my friend
[03:08] <lupine_85> Shan1: you'd need a KDE-compatible window decorator for that
[03:08] <Aar0n444> I once had Ubuntu on my laptop before. I had to use an option (something LIKE "linux nolapic" or acpi or apic) else it wouldn't boot. I'm now booting fine using "linux noapic nolapic acpi=off" and it does boot, just that my PCMCIA WiFi card doesn't work
[03:08] <LjL> h0ndaracer2: well, you know when you type commands in a terminal? well, normally it's just simple one-line commands, but it could be much more complicated things, eventually what's normally called a "shell script"
[03:08] <lupine_85> Beryl has one, and I believe it's been ported to compiz.. not out just yet though
[03:09] <lupine_85> (beryl "aquamarine")
[03:09] <h0ndaracer2> i c is this a good topic to learn
[03:09] <Riyonuk> does ubuntu have a vmware image?
[03:09] <Aar0n444> And the WiFi card worked before. I know it's one of the options I've used
[03:09] <cornell> How about another tack...  I used acidrip to create mpg and avi.  Both of which I can view on ubuntu, but not in windows.  Are there particular settings I need to use in acidrip to get a windows readable mpg?
[03:09] <h0ndaracer2> or should i learn something else first
[03:09] <Shan1> ohh ok. i knew with ubuntu compiz was able to do gnome's themes..i see, thanks!!
[03:09] <lupine_85> shan1: that's gnome-window-decorator
[03:09] <Shan1> yeah
[03:09] <lupine_85> you're just a bit ahead of the source code, that's all :)
[03:10] <Shan1> no problem, i'll get beryl going then! thanks lupine_85!
[03:10] <lupine_85> np. aquamarine is in the repos so easy to install
[03:10] <LjL> h0ndaracer2, it really depends... if this steams from some previous discussion, then well, i didn't follow it. are you interested in learning a programming language? or what?
[03:10] <lupine_85> erm, beryl repos I should say
[03:11] <mariano> can someone help me get sound on flash player videos. I have tried three browsers and still no sound. This is the only thing that I need to fully move over to linux.
[03:11] <Shan1> cool. yeah, i'm new to kde..been a gnome guy for a looong time

[03:12] <xu_zhu> as a new user who finally got his wireless working with ndiswrapper (woo!) i have to say that this Add / Remove Programs thing is awesome.
[03:12] <xu_zhu> rather than having to buy CDRoms when you need to do tasks.
[03:13] <h0ndaracer2> is that a easy one to learn compared to c and perl
[03:13] <xu_zhu> python instead of java?
[03:13] <factboy818181> jrib: oops
[03:13] <factboy818181> hi
[03:13] <h0ndaracer2> i know some java myselff but not much and i know html fairly well
[03:13] <jrib> h0ndaracer2: try python, docs.python.org tutorial and diveintopython.org are a good start
[03:13] <jrib> factboy818181: hi
[03:13] <h0ndaracer2> ok thanks
[03:14] <Zoss> Ok..I installed linux first then windows. How do I boot to linux? Note: I'm new to linux...
[03:14] <jrib> Zoss: when you start your computer is it jsut going straight to windows now?
[03:14] <Zoss> jrib: Yes.

[03:15] <jrib> factboy818181: ah ha! you are missing Bonobo_module.so
[03:16] <factboy818181> atut: apt-get install ntfs-3g
[03:16] <jrib> factboy818181: sudo aptitude reinstall libbonobo2-common
[03:16] <factboy818181> atut: then: sudo ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -o force
[03:16] <factboy818181> that's assuming your windows partition is on /dev/hda1
[03:16] <CaBlGuY> ok, before I go bidding on a printer on Ebay, what brand woks the best with Ubuntu...  IE, no problems installing and printing etc..?

[03:17] <CaBlGuY> what BRANDS work best...?
[03:17] <atut> i understand factboy818181, but where can i get ntfs-3g?
[03:17] <CaBlGuY> IE, HP, Lexmark.. etc..
[03:17] <aztracker1> What's funny is my printer has a driver (gpl) from the mfg, but doesn't seem to work right under ubuntu for me.. :(  (brother)
[03:17] <jbroome> i like older HP laser printers
[03:17] <factboy818181> atut: apt-get?  enable universe repos
[03:17] <Aar0n444> Epson are pretty cheap to get carts for
[03:17] <atut> factboy818181, can I just mount it using mount command, dont use ntfs-3g command
[03:18] <aztracker1> older HP's are well supported  Laserjet 5.. if you can find em..
[03:18] <factboy818181> atut: do you need read write, or just read?
[03:18] <atut> read & write
[03:18] <Zoss> Someone help me? ^ If you ever looked at my question?
[03:18] <CaBlGuY> Aar0n444:  do they work on Linux though..  THAT'S what Im askin...
[03:18] <factboy818181> atut: ntfs-3g is what you need for accessing NTFS in ubuntu
[03:18] <h0ndaracer2> ok i got those 2 things from those sites about python
[03:18] <h0ndaracer2> now read them
[03:18] <eegore> I installed 4 gigs of ram in this box and the os only sees 3
[03:18] <factboy818181> atut: try googling for main site, download the .deb, then dpkg -i the deb
[03:18] <Aar0n444> CaBlGuY there's a list.
[03:18] <mariano> I installed the flash plugins and still no sound from flash player
[03:18] <Aar0n444> Go through it.
[03:18] <mariano> can anyone help
[03:19] <atut> factboy818181: ok, what if i just need "read" access? without using ntfs-3g, how to mount it?
[03:19] <jbroome> eegore: then you have to send me the extra GB stick
[03:19] <n2diy> Zoss, I missed the question.
[03:19] <eegore> running dapper
[03:19] <Zoss> I install linux(Ubuntu) first then windows. How do I boot to linux? (Retyped question)
[03:19] <factboy818181> atut: not sure, i just use ntfs-3g because it's really stable
[03:19] <Aar0n444> Or find a good printer, then check the list.
[03:19] <Zoss> installed*
[03:19] <aztracker1> CaBlGuY, honestly, pick out 2-3 that you are interested in, and look at the mfg website, or the cups site (previously mentioned)
[03:19] <mariano> it plays the picture of the video but not the sound
[03:19] <factboy818181> Zoss: GRUB on boot-up?
[03:19] <Gun_Smoke> DBO: home?
[03:19] <aztracker1> CaBlGuY, there is no good brand perse...
[03:19] <factboy818181> Zoss: oops.. you overwrote GRUB
[03:19] <Zoss> I'm a newbie to linux factboy
[03:19] <factboy818181> Zoss: with the windows install...
[03:19] <Zoss> I don't know if i did that lol
[03:19] <n2diy> Zoss, you did it backwards, Windows doesn't play with linux, install windows, and then Ubuntu.
[03:19] <factboy818181> exactly :D
[03:19] <Zoss> I don't want to reformat again!
[03:19] <PriceChild> factboy818181, ntfs-3g _may_ still cause data loss
[03:19] <Zoss> =.= crap.
[03:20] <h0ndaracer2> get rid of windows
[03:20] <atut> there is someway to boot into ubunto without installing
[03:20] <Zoss> -.- damnit..is there anyother way?
[03:20] <mariano> i'm trying to get rid of windows
[03:20] <atut> there is someway to boot into ubunto without re-installing/re-formatting
[03:20] <LjL> atut: sure, the Desktop CD.
[03:20] <jbroome> atut: use a live cd
[03:20] <kitche> Zoss: you can always use a live cd to boot into ubuntu when you want to use it, or a grub cd
[03:20] <mariano> I dont want to pay that 400 bucks for the vista update
[03:20] <eegore> Is there something in the kernel that will not go beyond 3 gigs?
[03:20] <factboy818181> jrib: you saved me!
[03:20] <factboy818181> jrib: it works now!  awesome :D thankies
[03:20] <Zoss> I am on my live cd atm
[03:20] <aztracker1> I blew up my first two installs of ubuntu... had to use live cd to get my data off.. :)
[03:21] <w30> ! repair grub after windows install
[03:21] <Zoss> How do I do that?
[03:21] <jrib> factboy818181: np, give vimdiff a try if you like vim.  It's pretty similar
[03:21] <Zoss> @w30
[03:21] <cafuego>  mariano Well, there is no law that says you have to.

[03:22] <zspada15> Zoss, what error?
[03:22] <orville> has anyone gotten the trackpad to work on a macbook pro?
[03:22] <jbroome> reiatzu: don't be a douche
[03:22] <aztracker1> mariano, I use a vmware xp setup for the 2-3 programs I have to have in windows.
[03:22] <mariano> so, I might have to use windows at work
[03:22] <Zoss> I TOLD YOU IN PM
[03:22] <reiatzu> jbroome: silence
[03:22] <mariano> do   you use vmware for flash player?
[03:22] <orville> lol
[03:22] <orville> has anyone gotten the trackpad to work on a macbook pro?
[03:22] <mariano> I watch a lot of flash player  videos at work
[03:23] <Zoss> At zspada15: I told you before- kernerl panic
[03:23] <kitche> Zoss: the kerenl panic is not specific enough since a panic can be anything
[03:23] <Zoss> Well it sat there for like 1 minute at least.
[03:23] <Zoss> So I rebooted it..
[03:23] <kitche> kernel/kerenl
[03:24] <zspada15> you should get the verbose option in your kernel, i dont know how to do it
[03:24] <moab_> anyone here know the status of the acpi suspend bug?
[03:24] <Zoss> So..Where can I get grub?
[03:24] <h0ndaracer2> go to the pantry
[03:24] <h0ndaracer2> jj
[03:24] <zspada15> Zoss, it should have been installed on your system
[03:25] <kitche> Zoss: it's on the ubuntu install you have to chroot in and mount /proc to be able to run grub-install again
[03:25] <Zoss> zspada15: What should have? Grub? I hardly know about it
[03:25] <kitche> Zoss: did you read the how-to that ubotu told you about?
[03:25] <Zoss> kitche: I'm new to linux, explain more thoughrly.
[03:25] <Zoss> Yes.
[03:25] <h0ndaracer2> im new2
[03:25] <Zoss> I tryed rescue, it um froze.
[03:26] <h0ndaracer2> ok im gona take a break i need to get away from the computer for a little bit
[03:27] <kitche> Zoss: try this one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#head-bf3232f10ddf1b078de064622ccbb25225cdb3c0 this one uses the livecd instead of the rescue mode
[03:27] <Zoss> Ah...
[03:27] <Zoss> Good cuz i'm using my live cd atm
[03:27] <Zoss> Ok
[03:27] <Zoss> I'll try it
[03:27] <Zoss> And i'll be back
[03:27] <moab_> anyone here know the status of the acpi suspend bug?
[03:28] <jbroome> moab_: proabbly not, check launchpad
[03:28] <reiatzu> frogs
[03:28] <reiatzu> hi friend jbroome
[03:29] <SmoothOp> is ubuntu using x.org?
[03:29] <kitche> SmoothOp: yes
[03:30] <mariano> ok, I am completely lost. I have tried installing flash player manually and via adapt manager and I still get no sound from the flash player
[03:30] <mariano> I just get picture
[03:30] <moab_> jbroome_: I am looking for info newer than what this link provides<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:30] <jrib> mariano: what version?
[03:30] <mariano> flash 9 it says
[03:30] <LjL> reiatzu: please avoid flooding the channel like you did before
[03:31] <jrib> mariano: strange, do you have anything else playing sound before you start it?
[03:31] <mariano> well, I have tried both now
[03:31] <mariano> Version:  	7,0,69,0 this is the last one I installed
[03:31] <nothlit> adept manager? check your aRts settings
[03:32] <nothlit> try turning aRTs off even
[03:32] <mariano> nope
[03:32] <mariano> I turned off amarok
[03:32] <adaminla> Can anyone give me some advice re: what printer to buy. Don't want to go over $125 (US).
[03:32] <mariano> I mean, i closed amarok
[03:32] <nothlit> aRts, not amaroK
[03:33] <nothlit> man kde has some funny capitalisations
[03:33] <mariano> how do I turn off arts
[03:33] <arrenlex> adaminla: HP printers work well with Linux.
[03:33] <nothlit> mariano, kcontrol
[03:33] <arrenlex> mariano: kcontrol > Sound & Multimedia > Sound System > uncheck "enable the sound system"
[03:33] <adaminla> All the loess expensive ones?
[03:34] <arrenlex> adaminla: HP printers generally work with Linux. All of them. Be sure to check linuxprinting.com first, though.
[03:34] <mariano> ok, I have unchecked it
[03:34] <mariano> let me try to play a flash video now
[03:34] <nothlit> mariano, make sure its off
[03:34] <adaminla> OK. Thanx Arrenlex.
[03:34] <arrenlex> mariano: Make sure you are using flash 9.
[03:34] <bradley_> is there a way to check specifically the amount of video memory usage?
[03:35] <mariano> I unchecked it and press okay
[03:35] <nothlit> mariano, i don't know how kde manages sounds anymore, you might have to log out/ or restart
[03:35] <w3ccv> linuxprining.com - not found - got a better (more correct) site
[03:35] <mariano> ok
[03:35] <mariano> I will be right back then
[03:35] <nothlit> mariano, but see if it works first
[03:35] <arrenlex> w3ccv: Printing, not prining.
[03:36] <Zoss> Kitie: Can I have that link again if your still here?
[03:36] <w3ccv> arrenlex, my typo but site "not found" now.
[03:36] <mariano> ok
[03:36] <Zoss> kitche: Can I have that link again?
[03:36] <arrenlex> w3ccv: Oh. Hey. It changed recently, I didn't even know. http://www.freestandards.org/en/OpenPrinting
[03:36] <aztracker1> anyone know how to set the default browser for kde and xchat?  when I open a link in xchat it fires up konqueror, despite firefox being my default in ubuntu

[03:37] <jrib> w3ccv: it's .org, it will redirect to whatever the new site is
[03:37] <Zoss> Lol ty

[03:38] <aztracker1> nothlit, I have konqueror installed for testing..
[03:38] <Zoss> kitche: After installation of grub what do I do next?
[03:38] <kitche> Zoss: rebppt
[03:38] <kitche> reboot even :)
[03:38] <Crescendo> I have a bunch of MP3s that aren't labeled properly or not at all - what can I use to label them?  Perhaps according to filename?

[03:40] <nothlit> aztracker1, theres a command line app for it but i don't know the all the listings... it might be update-alternatives x-www-browser
[03:40] <mariano> I have flash player 9 plugin
[03:40] <jughead> Megalodon, you can ctl+alt+f1 to get to a terminal
[03:40] <aztracker1> I have kcontrol up..
[03:40] <cjlowe> Megalodon,control + alt + f1
[03:40] <mariano> I unchecked enable sound system
[03:40] <arrenlex> cjlowe: Yes, but it won't give you a command line.
[03:40] <cjlowe> arrenlex, true.
[03:40] <mariano> and logged off
[03:41] <Zoss> kitche: For my root (hd X,X) command. What do I type if my partition is sda2?
[03:41] <aztracker1> arrenlex, where in kcontrol?  I don't see a component chooser
[03:42] <kitche> Zoss: think it will be root (sd1,1) think that's how grub does SATA drives
[03:42] <jvai__> hey ppl.. ty so much.. gn
[03:42] <nothlit> mariano, did you get a dialog box saying aRts is disabled?
[03:42] <Zoss> Hm
[03:42] <aztracker1> found it.. kcontrol->kde components->file associations->text->html
[03:42] <Zoss> OK..
[03:42] <aztracker1> guessing that will do it..
[03:42] <aztracker1> *shrug*
[03:42] <mariano> no, no diolog box saying that
[03:42] <Zoss> Kitche: What about for the setup command? sd1?

[03:42] <arrenlex> Guys, what's that command which lists what libraries a binary depends on?
[03:43] <kitche> zoss: hang on it would be root (sd0, 1)
[03:43] <arrenlex> "depends on" -> "links to"?
[03:43] <Zoss> And the setup command?
[03:43] <jrib> arrenlex: ldd

[03:44] <Zoss> Hmm ok..
[03:44] <arrenlex> mariano: What happens if you install libasound2-dev?
[03:44] <Zoss> So i guess i should try it?
[03:44] <mariano> let me check it out
[03:44] <mariano> let me install it
[03:45] <arrenlex> !ask | ubuntu___
[03:45] <ubotu> ubuntu___: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:45] <Zoss> arrenlex: He did twice
[03:45] <briguyd> the drives can open and close jsut fine using the button, so they have power, but i can no longer mount and read data from them
[03:45] <jb1> hey, all. a PPRacer problem here. As soon as Tux starts liding down the hill, the background rotates 180 degress and I see where I came from rather than where I am going. Makes play difficult. Anybody see this?

[03:45] <bobbie__4> should I run Symantec defragger on my Linux ext3 partition?
[03:46] <arrenlex> ubuntu___: I'm not sure what all those options are for. This works for me: /dev/sda5       /media/sda5               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1

[03:49] <bruenig> !alien
[03:49] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[03:49] <darkroast> stupid question: I'm using Ubuntu on a remote machine; how do I tell what version of Ubuntu is installed
[03:49] <Zoss> I see you briguyd but I can't answer your question.
[03:49] <briguyd> SmoothOp, install the package "alien"
[03:49] <bruenig> !version
[03:49] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type 'lsb_release -a' in the Terminal.
[03:49] <darkroast> awesome thanks

[04:03] <sanityx> tor b0
[04:03] <Megalodon> yes, however with this X700 it wouldnt boot, so I had to change the driver to radeon
[04:03] <h0ndaracer2> (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla) it shows me this and i tpye it in and it says its not a valid directory how do i do it
[04:03] <coz_> Megalodon, ah oh, I can't help you with ati stuff sorry guy
[04:03] <Megalodon> np
[04:03] <h0ndaracer2> how do i set the directory to it
[04:03] <nephish> hello all
[04:04] <vstefan> idlemind: wanted to install fluxbox from repo but the version numbers were very weird in the repo, i installed it and started it with -v and the correct version num is 1.0rc2
[04:04] <h0ndaracer2> what goes in the i.e. part
[04:04] <nephish> hey there, if i wanted to use ssh, but wanted to use a different port than 22, how would i do that ?
[04:04] <idlemind> megalodon: i'm very unfamiliar with the newer high end radeon cards as well but have you tried: "rpm -qa | grep xorg" and then looking on ati.com for linux drivers (they're closed source so if you don't mnind)
[04:05] <sanityx> nephish, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[04:05] <ablyss> nephish /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[04:05] <caminomaster> hello
[04:05] <arrenlex> !hi
[04:05] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:06] <eilker> linux cant see hda6 which is ext3 , i just created it in xp via partition magic
[04:06] <eilker> arrenlex: i passed grub error :D
[04:06] <nephish> well the computer i am trying to get to has the router set up to where port 23 from the outside is routed to port 22 to a certain machine on the inside. Port 22 goes to a different machine, that i also need to access
[04:06] <caminomaster> Please suggest me a cd catalogator -not gtktalog nor gwhere-
[04:06] <Svenstaro> Welcome to the world of toomooorroow!
[04:07] <RxDx> alguem pode me falar por favor um gerenciador de downloads (sem ser d4x) que seja possivel dividir o download em partes?
[04:07] <brussel> with gvim, how do you get the current line to be hi-lited?
[04:08] <ablyss> nephish: you should be able to just ssh hostname and leave all the ports on 22
[04:08] <mister_roboto> nephish: i think you would change /etc/ssh/ssh_config and put the new port in there.
[04:09] <ablyss> all machines in the internal network are reachable via their hostnames.. via the outside ( external network ) the hostnames wont work, generally
[04:09] <mister_roboto> ablyss: he can't forward the same port to two different machines
[04:09] <nephish> well, all the machines look like the same host name from the internet, i need to use unison to sync a folder on two different computers behind the company LAN with my home computer.
[04:09] <Zoss> kitche: Ok..It's almost installed. Now what? I know i'm kinda noob but i'm new
[04:10] <Madduc1> Can someone please help me with an Adept installer problem
[04:10] <ablyss> no need to forward the ports if he uses the private route
[04:10] <mister_roboto> ablyss: he's not coming in from outside the network? that's what i thought he was saying
[04:10] <idlemind> madduc1: not very familiar but i can try, shoot
[04:10] <nephish> right, i am comming from outside the network
[04:10] <Madduc1> I was downloading sun-java and when it went to install Adept locked up. i can't get it to restart, "some other process is using the package database".
[04:10] <mister_roboto> ablyss: in fact, that's exactly what he's saying
[04:10] <Zoss> kitche: You there?
[04:11] <kitche> yes
[04:11] <mister_roboto> nephish: see /etc/ssh/ssh_config
[04:11] <kitche> jsut reboot into ubuntu when it's done without the live cd Zoss
[04:11] <nephish> ok.
[04:11] <Zoss> kitche: And if it doesn't boot to ubuntu but windows?
[04:11] <ablyss> mister_roboto: once he's ssh into a machine he is now in the private network side
[04:11] <ablyss> go figure
[04:12] <idlemind> madduc1: oo ok, use this command: ps -x to find the adept process or 'rpm' similar process
[04:12] <mister_roboto> ablyss: you didn't listen to his problem
[04:12] <ablyss> mister_roboto: i listen well enough to provide a solution
[04:12] <idlemind> madduc1: then use: kill -9 <proc#> command to terminate it (hint for the the obvious just the number not the braces when you type command)
[04:13] <mister_roboto> ablyss: he wants to ssh directly to both machines.   yes, he could just make a tunnel from one machine to the other but you didn't say jack about doing that
[04:14] <ablyss> mister_roboto: obviously
[04:14] <mister_roboto> ablyss: he would STILL have to open 2 ports if he wants to unison between both inner boxes
[04:14] <mister_roboto> ablyss: from the outside, i mean
[04:15] <factboy818181> any news on when OpenOffice 2.1 will be in the repos?
[04:15] <Madduc1> idlemind: i can't tell what process is using the adept process,, sun-java was about 25% installed when it crashed
[04:16] <idlemind> madduc1: hmm i'm not exactly sure either as i've never used kubuntu and i just recently (2 days ago) transferred to ubuntu from a long time suse user, look for anything adept, rpm, dpgk (i assume)
[04:17] <lance_> Anyone know how to get apache2 to run as a different user on a per-vhost basis? Do you need perchild module, which apparently is broken, and unmaintained?
[04:17] <Gorillasmalls> who know how to run were i can get the tutorial for compiz
[04:18] <ablyss> Madduc #kbuntu channels handles adept problems.
[04:18] <ablyss> er #kubuntu
[04:18] <arrenlex> Madduc1: sudo fuser -mk /var/lib/dpkg/lock && rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[04:18] <arrenlex> Madduc1: Or just restart.
[04:18] <Gorillasmalls> for compiz
[04:18] <nephish> ok, well i changed 22 to 23 under the port, does this mean i will have to change it every time i change which machine i sync ? or should it be able to take two ports if i disable strict checking ( because they will have the same domain name)
[04:18] <idlemind> thanx ablyss and arrenlex
[04:18] <idlemind> afk while i get my chinesse food from the door
[04:18] <mister_roboto> Gorillasmalls: http://www.google.com/search?q=tutorial+compiz&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official
[04:18] <Gorillasmalls> thanks
[04:19] <realitychx> anyone using easyubuntu?
[04:19] <darkroast> realitychx: no, I use automatix2
[04:19] <ablyss> nephish: exactly how do you sync a machine with ssh ?
[04:19] <realitychx> never heard of it?
[04:19] <realitychx> is it as simple?
[04:19] <darkroast> yes
[04:19] <darkroast> google it
[04:20] <realitychx> thanks will do
[04:20] <darkroast> are you using edgy
[04:20] <darkroast> not sure if it works on dapper
[04:20] <darkroast> but it definitely works on edgy
[04:20] <arrenlex> Hey, guys. I want to be able to make a file by redirecting the output, a la echo "foo" > /tmp/bar. Where would I put the sudo if I want to make it as root? sudo echo doesn't work.
[04:20] <realitychx> oooo
[04:20] <realitychx> using dapper
[04:20] <darkroast> k
[04:20] <darkroast> easyubuntu works well on dapper
[04:20] <realitychx> it did...
[04:21] <darkroast> did you break it?
[04:21] <darkroast> ;-)_
[04:21] <realitychx> all of a sudden its having repos issues
[04:21] <racarr> arrenlex: you could do 'sudo -s; echo "foo" > /tmp/bar; exit'
[04:21] <darkroast> hmm
[04:21] <darkroast> not sure 'bout that
[04:21] <peeps> if I add a user to a group by editing /etc/group then do I have to reboot to get the changes to take affect?
[04:21] <realitychx> not me ... i hope :-(
[04:21] <ablyss> peeps, no
[04:21] <arrenlex> racarr: Well yeah, but that's kind of hacky. Is there a bona fide way to do it?
[04:21] <nephish> ablyss_: with unison
[04:21] <crowley1027> how do i view .bin movies on linux
[04:21] <idlemind> arrenlex: just use 'su' ... still afk
[04:21] <arrenlex> crowley1027: What are bin movies?
[04:21] <ThePub> peeps: that user has to relogin to get the new group settings.
[04:21] <crowley1027> movie.bin
[04:21] <arrenlex> idlemind: That would work if the root account existed.
[04:22] <crowley1027> cue and bin
[04:22] <crowley1027> .cue .bin
[04:22] <arrenlex> crowley1027: I mean, what format? Run the command "file movie.bin"
[04:22] <arrenlex> crowley1027: Oh! That's a disc image.
[04:22] <peeps> ThePub: so if I want to run something in gnome, and I am logged in, I will need to Ctrl-Alt-Backspace?
[04:22] <arrenlex> crowley1027: like .iso. You burn them.
[04:22] <crowley1027> how do i view it on linux
[04:22] <ThePub> peeps: just log out and back in.  yes.
[04:22] <peeps> ok thx
[04:22] <nothlit> mplayer and vlc can do it
[04:22] <arrenlex> crowley1027: I'm assuming DVD. You can mount it as a loop device to get at the files, I guess.
[04:22] <nothlit> with vlc you have to pass it a command
[04:23] <arrenlex> crowley1027: Listen to nothlit. He knows what he's talking about.
[04:23] <nothlit> arrenlex, nah .bins and cues can't get mounted on loop without a compiled module thats not in the repos
[04:23] <arrenlex> nothlit: Really. I didn't know that. Weird.
[04:24] <nothlit> theres a convertor prog in the repos tho
[04:25] <crowley1027> hahaha
[04:25] <crowley1027> i saw "ctrl + alt + backspace" so i  tried it.
[04:25] <crowley1027> logs me out i see.
[04:25] <crowley1027> is there a codec to view .bin files on linux like i would a .mpg file
[04:25] <arrenlex> crowley1027: ctrl+alt+bksp restarts the X server.
[04:25] <crowley1027> heh
[04:25] <idlemind> back
[04:25] <jbroome> .bin isn't an encoding like mpeg, so no
[04:25] <ablyss> nephish: ty.  I'm still not sure why you can't ssh into machine 1 on port 22, ( from the outside ) then do it again i.e., ssh into machine 1 on port 22 then connect to machine 2 on port 23 while in machine 1.. thus having two ssh connections to do the unison
[04:25] <crowley1027> jbroome is there a way to view it on linux?
[04:26] <ablyss> logically, you can even leaven machine 2 on port 22
[04:27] <ablyss> oh ty for the unison .. i didn't know such a program existed and i really need to check it out
[04:27] <jbroome> crowley1027: 22:23 < nothlit> arrenlex, nah .bins and cues can't get mounted on loop without a compiled module thats not in the repos
[04:28] <ahattar> hi, anyone from new york knows about user group forum for Linux in general?
[04:28] <nephish> ablyss_: yeah, i was just wondering if there was an easier way, like specifying the port in the actual unison command., but thats ok, i can make this work. THanks for your help
[04:28] <Rupie> Does there exist such a beast as a java -> c\c++ translator? I think I read something about it somewhere once. Was I just asleep or...?
[04:28] <crowley1027> can i convert it?
[04:29] <dilch> i think ubuntu broked my internets
[04:29] <jbroome> it might be easier to just buy the movie
[04:29] <arrenlex> crowley1027: You could try burning it. It converting it to .iso and loopback-mouting it.
[04:29] <arrenlex> mounting*
[04:29] <ablyss> nephish: unison /home/username ssh://192.168.2.xx//home/username \  once you are in the internal network.. ports dont really matter :)
[04:29] <crowley1027> i would love to burn it if i had the capabilities.
[04:30] <crowley1027> with this POS i don't
[04:30] <nothlit> mplayer and vlc can do it
[04:30] <ablyss> theortically
[04:30] <nothlit> with vlc you have to pass it a command
[04:30] <dilch> i'll be needing help please, ubuntu broke my internets
[04:30] <nothlit> you should be able to use gmplayer and play it
[04:30] <ablyss> theoretically :P
[04:30] <arrenlex> dilch: Could you please be more specific?
[04:30] <nephish> yep, its working right now, thanks!
[04:30] <bobbie__4> arrenlex the tubes are all pluged up and the internets are clogged
[04:31] <nothlit> use vlc vcd://path/to/file.bin
[04:31] <arrenlex> bobbie__4: Oh. Tell your staff to stop sending you the internet.
[04:31] <nothlit> that should work
[04:31] <dilch> arrenlex, i plugged into my adsl modem like with windows but firefox or whatever didn't work
[04:31] <idlemind> crowley1027: what kind of data is on the .bin
[04:31] <arrenlex> !adsl | dilch
[04:31] <ubotu> dilch: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[04:31] <bobbie__4> dilch, do you live under a bridge with a billy goat?
[04:32] <ajmitch> bobbie__4: please stop it with such comments
[04:32] <dilch> bobbie__4, what?
[04:32] <darked_> I seem to be having a problem with my nvidia driver
[04:32] <dilch> ubotu, ok i will look at that
[04:33] <nothlit> you can use the same thing with mplayer: gmplayer vcd://path/to/file.bin
[04:33] <dilch> bobbie__4, what did you mean?
[04:33] <DarkED> I installed the nvidia driver and i get an nvidia screen at boot, but im still not getting any 3D
[04:33] <arrenlex> dilch: bobbie__4 was !kidding but it ended up just as the factoid warns.
[04:34] <dilch> ok, i made one mistake when i did pppoe
[04:34] <dilch> i will try to connect it now
[04:35] <Red-Sox> How do I resume a wget download?
[04:35] <arrenlex> Red-Sox: wget -c <sameurl>
[04:35] <dilch> Red-Sox, -c
[04:35] <Red-Sox> sweet
[04:35] <Red-Sox> thanks
[04:35] <arrenlex> the -c switch = continue
[04:36] <dilch> hot diggity dawg! it worked
[04:36] <dilch> all the internets are fixed up
[04:36] <arrenlex> !botsnack
[04:36] <ubotu> Yum!
[04:36] <dilch> or whatever
[04:36] <Red-Sox> what does wget -r do?
[04:36] <ThePub> dilch: I doubt all the internets were borked :)
[04:36] <dilch> Red-Sox, find out what 'man wget' does
[04:37] <Red-Sox> Okay...
[04:37] <dilch> ThePub, i know, it just felt nice to say it
[04:37] <arrenlex> Red-Sox: wget --help says it means "recursive".
[04:37] <Red-Sox> dilch: brings up the README
[04:38] <bobbie__4> dilch> you seem to be a very rude young man
 and you seem to be a windows troll
 well, i'm a bsd troll
 but hey, it's all the same ... mock ubuntu users
[04:38] <ThePub> Red-Sox: what it means is that if you give it, say an index or page of some sort with other links on it.  You'll get a recursive download of everything.
[04:38] <Red-Sox> oh ThePub
[04:38] <arrenlex> bobbie__4: What are you doing and why?
[04:38] <dilch> bobbie__4, what?
[04:38] <ThePub> Red-Sox: iirc.. it may only crawl directory structures.  it's been awhile since I used wget :)
[04:39] <crowley1027> so what do i do to watch a .bin file?
[04:39] <dilch> bobbie__4, why do you keep sending me private messages?
[04:39] <bobbie__4> arrenlex dilch is a troll, sorry to break it to you
[04:39] <arrenlex> bobbie__4: Please don't be a jerk.
[04:39] <bobbie__4> dilch you initated the pm
[04:39] <zspada15> bobbie__4, christ stop making trouble in here
[04:39] <tonyyarusso> bobbie__4, arrenlex, dilch : regardless, don't discuss it here.
[04:40] <dilch> bobbie__4, i am going to put you on ignore.   All of you.  last warning.
[04:41] <nothlit> crowley1027, please scroll up and read all my messages
[04:41] <syte> can someone help me configure sshd please
[04:41] <nothlit> !ssh
[04:41] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[04:41] <crowley1027> is that for me?
[04:41] <crowley1027> oh
[04:41] <crowley1027> nvm
[04:41] <crowley1027> :-P
[04:42] <nothlit> theres also an advanced howto
[04:42] <syte> ty
[04:42] <crowley1027> nothlit if it's on my desktop what's the path
[04:42] <arrenlex> !who | nothlit
[04:42] <ubotu> nothlit: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say, or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[04:42] <syte> but i've tried all that but i still get the problem i'm having
[04:42] <dilch> synchk, what in particular are you trying to configure?
[04:42] <nothlit> arrenlex, i'm lazy
[04:42] <tonyyarusso> syte: Which is?
[04:42] <nothlit> crowley1027, /home/crowley/Desktop/file.bin
[04:42] <syte> i can't connect using my public ip address but can connect using private
[04:42] <arrenlex> syte: Do you have a router, then?
[04:42] <nothlit> crowley1027, replace crowley with whatever your username is
[04:42] <syte> no router
[04:43] <DarkED> okay im having some major problems here
[04:43] <syte> i would've port forwarded if that were the case but no router
[04:43] <bruenig> or just do ~/Desktop/file.bin
[04:43] <arrenlex> syte: How do you have a private IP but not a public one without a router?
[04:43] <arrenlex> I mean, have both of those things without a router?
[04:43] <syte> whoops....localhost*
[04:43] <arrenlex> Oh!
[04:43] <DarkED> I dont have an option for pcm in my mixer
[04:43] <arrenlex> That's different. xD
[04:43] <nothlit> bruenig, i don't think it'll work for the uris vlc and mplayer are expecting
[04:43] <DarkED> when i try to add it, i get like 100 different PCM entries
[04:43] <syte> sorry...i forgot i disconnected my router
[04:43] <dilch> syte, what? so you want to change the listening address?   Perhaps according to filename?
[04:44] <synchk> Hi, who mentioned my name?
[04:44] <DarkED> I'm trying to use xfmedia to play music and it just crashes when i start a song
[04:44] <synchk> dilch: Why did you mention my name?
[04:44] <tonyyarusso> synchk: Probably a bad tab-complete.  There's a similar nick.
[04:44] <synchk> Oh.
[04:44] <dilch> synchk, bad tab
[04:44] <nothlit> DarkED, and pcm1 and 2 don't work?
[04:44] <syte> want to make it to where people can use my public address to log into my ssh server
[04:44] <crowley1027> !paste | crowley1027
[04:44] <ubotu> crowley1027: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:44] <synchk> dilch: Don't let it happen again.
[04:44] <crowley1027> !thank you
[04:44] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[04:44] <syte> i've looked at the port and it works
[04:44] <syte> i dont see what the problem could be besides that
[04:45] <DarkED> nothlit, nope, if i add them they dont do anything
[04:45] <syte> port as in open*
[04:45] <crowley1027> nothlit: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37861/
[04:45] <DarkED> but see i have like PCM's 1 - 38
[04:45] <DarkED> I don't get that
[04:45] <crowley1027> I have Mission To Mars.bin and Mission To mars.cue
[04:45] <nothlit> woah rofl
[04:45] <DarkED> i also have PCM Chorus 1 -38
[04:45] <crowley1027> why the rofl
[04:45] <nothlit> thats a lot of sliders for alsa
[04:45] <DarkED> never ever seen that before, on ANY computer I've installed ubuntu on
[04:46] <crowley1027> ?
[04:46] <DarkED> also, the mixer crashes alot
[04:46] <nothlit> crowley1027, oh its a dvd
[04:46] <crowley1027> yes.
[04:46] <ThePub> DarkED: pci slots full of professional sound cards ?_?
[04:46] <DarkED> and the stupid bug buddy wants me to send a bug report
[04:46] <dilch> syte, well it could just be firewalled ... how did you try to connect to the ssh server?
[04:46] <nothlit> crowley1027, then replace vcd with dvd, and you'll need libdvdcss from the penguin front liberation
[04:46] <dilch> synchk,
[04:46] <crowley1027> how do i get libdvdcss
[04:46] <nothlit> !plf
[04:46] <ubotu> PLF is the Penguin Liberation Front. For more info see: http://wiki.ubuntu-fr.org/doc/plf. PLF is down indefinitely pending a new maintainer; see http://plf.zarb.org/. see also !seveas

[04:47] <nothlit> crowley1027, don't lecture me
[04:47] <crowley1027> :-P
[04:47] <crowley1027> how do i get libdvdcss
[04:47] <nothlit> the channel is going slow, i can be lazy
[04:47] <nothlit> crowley1027, then replace vcd with dvd, and you'll need libdvdcss from the penguin front liberation
[04:47] <crowley1027> how do i get it from the penguin front liberation
[04:47] <crowley1027> !new
[04:47] <nothlit> !plf
[04:47] <tonyyarusso> nothlit: plf is down, as stated.
[04:47] <synchk> dilch: You will pay the price of one Internet for your mistaken tab-complete.
[04:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about new - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[04:47] <tonyyarusso> !libdvdcss | crowley1027
[04:47] <DarkED> Hmm, PCM DOES appear as a checkbox
[04:47] <ubotu> crowley1027: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[04:47] <DarkED> wtf, WHY a checkbox? it should be a slider, no?
[04:47] <mister_roboto> nephish: still there?
[04:47] <dilch> synchk, but i just fixed my internets
[04:47] <crowley1027> can i get it via terminal?
[04:48] <msak007> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_add_extra_repositories
[04:48] <tonyyarusso> crowley1027: Yes
[04:48] <crowley1027> what's the command?
[04:48] <msak007> has some new repos in there for PLF
[04:48] <syte> if there was a firewall, it wouldnt show up as "port: w/e LISTEN" so i dunno :(
[04:48] <tonyyarusso> crowley1027: Check the page
[04:48] <crowley1027> what am i looking for
[04:48] <tonyyarusso> crowley1027: the one ubotu just gave you.
[04:48] <nothlit> tonyyarusso, *shrug* i think i d/led something from the plf while that factoid said that, could be wrong though
[04:48] <crowley1027> it's all so confusing
[04:48] <crowley1027> :'(
[04:48] <crowley1027> i'm on the page .
[04:49] <crowley1027> it's gibberish because i'm so used to windows.
[04:49] <sanityx> I can't seem to get fglrx working. I've installed it, and enabled it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but I still have no 3D acceleration
[04:49] <tonyyarusso> nothlit: Maybe.  I wouldn't count on it though.  (Haven't checked too thoroughly myself)
[04:49] <crowley1027> can you just make our lives easier instead of having me go through all this and tell me the command(s) to get libdvdcss
[04:49] <tonyyarusso> crowley1027: If you can say which parts confuse you and why, people will know where to start.
[04:49] <DarkED> man wtf is up with this distro
[04:49] <idlemind> excuse me this might be slightly off-topic and old news but if any of you have lightscribe drives or are looking to buy one: http://www.lacie.com/company/news/news.htm?id=10293
[04:49] <DarkED> okay, im gonna try rebooting
[04:49] <DarkED> ill be back
[04:50] <crowley1027> tonyyarusso: tell me where i should start when i'm on this page.
[04:50] <nothlit> crowley1027, then you won't be able to do anything on your own
[04:50] <synchk> dilch: Goodbye. :)
[04:50] <ThePub> DarkED: I ask myself that every time I install it :p
[04:50] <tonyyarusso> crowley1027: We try to subscribe to the "teach a man to fish" idea when possible, that way you'll know more in the future and things will get easier.  (It's a learning curve, sure, but it's worth it.)
[04:50] <dilch> synchk, ciao :)
[04:50] <crowley1027> yeup
[04:50] <nothlit> you can either add seveas' repository to your sources.list or download the libdvdcss .deb and double click on that to install it
[04:50] <crowley1027> i see a couple command lines and server lists.
[04:50] <crowley1027> sources.ist
[04:51] <nothlit> yes if you choose the repo, you will have to choose a mirror, and add the key
[04:51] <crowley1027> which is easier?
[04:51] <syte> i tried to connect like the tutorial said "ssh (my public ip addr)"
[04:51] <M1> ok my friends...
[04:51] <M1> I think this warrants a victory song
[04:51] <jgedeon> crowely1027, what page are you looking at if you don't mind me asking.

[04:51] <crowley1027> oh haha
[04:51] <crowley1027> hold on
[04:51] <dilch> syte, well you aren't going to be able to connect to your external ip address from your own machine
[04:51] <crowley1027> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[04:51] <tonyyarusso> !repos | crowley1027
[04:51] <ubotu> crowley1027: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[04:51] <M1> I JUST INSTALLED UBUNTU AND I AM USING LINUX FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE
[04:51] <nothlit> installing the deb, but then you can't update easily, and if you ever want to do something like sudo aptitude install ~i it won't work
[04:52] <tonyyarusso> crowley1027: That will give you some background on what those lines mean I think.
[04:52] <msak007> congrats M1
[04:52] <msak007> welcome
[04:52] <dilch> syte, so you'll have to either get someone else to check for connectivity, or use an external shell etc
[04:52] <nothlit> reinstall ~i i mean
[04:52] <synchk> M1: What is your problem then?
[04:52] <M1> I'm computer savvy, but all work I did was with M$ oss
[04:52] <SilentDis> 'lo :)
[04:52] <syte> totally did not know that...lol...i feel retarded...but well...i decided it might work because i can usually check connectivity with apache through my own machine
[04:52] <M1> synch
[04:52] <syte> but o well...sorry
[04:52] <M1> I don't really have a problem, but I do have two questions
[04:52] <syte> and ty
[04:52] <synchk> M1: Oh.
[04:53] <M1> is there a way to launch gparted from within running os, or does it have to be from a live cd
[04:53] <SilentDis> M1:  ask away :)
[04:53] <M1> you guys freakin' rock
[04:53] <synchk> M1: You don't want to repartition a mounted disk.
[04:53] <nothlit> !gparted | MI
[04:53] <ubotu> MI: gparted is a GUI partitioning program, "apt-get install gparted", also available as a live cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[04:53] <Crescendo> I have a bunch of MP3s that aren't labeled properly or not at all - what can I use to label them?  Perhaps according to filename?
[04:53] <syte> dilch, u mind checking my connection
[04:53] <crowley1027> m1: same here
[04:53] <syte> just to see if the login pops up
[04:53] <carutsu> hello
[04:54] <dilch> syte, yeah ... the ip you are on now?
[04:54] <syte> yes
[04:54] <ThePub> M1:  just install it (I don't think it's installed by default) and it'll show up under system -> administration
[04:54] <M1> seriously, i'm so happy
[04:54] <SilentDis> Crescendo:  you can edit labels in xmms... but there's gotta be an 'easy to use' script for it... i haven't found it either :P
[04:54] <carutsu> hello
[04:54] <carutsu> i'm having sound problems
[04:54] <Crescendo> SilentDis, yeah, exactly.  I'm using Rhythmbox, and looking for the same thing. ;)
[04:55] <tonyyarusso> Crescendo: Crud.  I'm absolutely blanking on the name.  I can tell you it exists, which is something.  Search for "mp3 tag editor" if noone else comes up with it.  Preferably with "apt-cache search keyword".
[04:55] <M1> cool, thanks ThePub
[04:55] <crowley1027> Ok...so someone has to help me.
[04:55] <M1> so it is possible to run it from hard-drive-installed Ubuntu then?
[04:55] <crowley1027> where do i download the libdvdcss
[04:55] <Crescendo> tonyyarusso, thanks. :)
[04:55] <ThePub> M1: of course.  gparted running from the CD is just running from an Ubuntu partition ;)
[04:55] <DarkED> okay, that didnt help
[04:55] <M1> sweet
[04:55] <dilch> syte, no dice ... i'll just run a quick nmap for port 22 on you
[04:56] <DarkED> X crashed at startup, i had to reconfigure it to use vesa
[04:56] <syte> kk
[04:56] <ThePub> M1: like *all* partition editors though, you cannot edit mounted partitions.
[04:56] <nothlit> tonyyarusso, cowbell?
[04:56] <crowley1027> i want to DOWNLOAD the actual file.
[04:56] <SilentDis> I'm actually looking for a 'conversion utility' that'll preserve ID3 tagging.  I have tons of hq MP3s, but my car/work CD MP3 players have a lot of trouble with MP3s that aren't 128CBR files :P
[04:56] <crowley1027> !cowbell
[04:56] <ubotu> cowbell: An easy-to-use tag editor for your music files. In component universe, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>-1 (edgy), package size 94 kB, installed size 548 kB
[04:56] <dilch> syte, yeah, you've got port 22 firewalled
[04:56] <syte> damn...i turned off the default firewall...
[04:56] <SilentDis> lol cowbell!
[04:56] <M1> .
[04:56] <tonyyarusso> Crescendo: Yeah, 'apt-cache search tag editor' has 36 results, maybe a dozen or so are useful.
[04:56] <syte> well firestarter
[04:56] <dilch> syte, are you using a front end for iptables?
[04:56] <syte> no
[04:57] <Crescendo> tonyyarusso, see, most of these are manual editors, though.
[04:57] <dilch> syte, well use firestarter to open port 22
[04:57] <carutsu> i have 2 problems: the sound embeded in flash is not sync with the video (neither in firefox nor in konqueror) and SuperKaramba crashes a lot!
[04:57] <tonyyarusso> Crescendo: Never tried it myself
[04:57] <syte> kk
[04:57] <Crescendo> I've got over 30,000 mp3s, any number of which are mislabeled... :/
[04:57] <DarkED> man what is goin on here...
[04:57] <M1> hey Pub
[04:57] <ThePub> CrescendoI think amarok does automatic naming, but don't quote me on that.
[04:57] <bjorner> What would I do if I'm a complete novice and my Synaptic Package Manager won't start?
[04:57] <M1> I looked in the add/remove, but I can't see gparted
[04:57] <crowley1027> tonyyarusso: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37864/
[04:58] <crowley1027> which one
[04:58] <carutsu> bjorner go to the terminal
[04:58] <carutsu> and u can instal any application by apt-get
[04:58] <jgedeon> crowely1027, have you read the wiki or the ubuntuguide?
[04:58] <_goofy_> in what order do i put te option's when mounting a hdd normaly when i mount a hdd i would do: type, dev, mount point  but where would i put a option
[04:58] <bjorner> with what? :-)
[04:58] <crowley1027> nope :)
[04:58] <tonyyarusso> crowley1027: libdvdcss2_1.2.9-0.0ubuntu4_i386.deb
[04:58] <carutsu> i dont know, what do you want to instal?
[04:58] <ThePub> M1: probably need to use synaptic :)
[04:59] <SilentDis> _goofy_:  anywhere.  I usually use the convention of mount /something /somewhere -t type -o options personally
[04:59] <Crescendo> ThePub, so do most other players, by the CDDB database - which isn't the best at figuring out what song it is.  Maybe I'm looking for some sort of MP3 signature comparison application?  It fingerprints the MP3, and compares it to a database somewhere?
[04:59] <syte> could u try once more please
[04:59] <bjorner> The updater says I have 175 updates pending
[04:59] <carutsu> nobody has any ideas for my problem/
[04:59] <nothlit> carutsu, please tell people to use aptitude, if not its a nightmare when they want to remove all of kde or xfce that they just happened to install
[04:59] <carutsu> ?
[04:59] <SilentDis> Crescendo:  there's a website with a tool that does it.  let me google a bit...
[04:59] <dilch> syte, ok
[04:59] <Parabola> hey guys, having a small issue with samba
[04:59] <syte> thx, i appreciate greatly :D
[04:59] <carutsu> nothlit im in ubuntu so i think they have apt-get otherwise would be kubuntu no?
[04:59] <Parabola> denied.)
[04:59] <Parabola> SMB connection failed
[04:59] <tonyyarusso> SilentDis: easyubuntu.freecontrib.org
[04:59] <Parabola> shit
[04:59] <nothlit> Crescendo, cowbell
[05:00] <M1> ok, I went to add/remove and under all I am not able to find gparted:(
[05:00] <jgedeon> crowley1027, your answer is in the those places in a step by step writing
[05:00] <_goofy_> silent dis.....thanks
[05:00] <nothlit> !aptitude | carutsu
[05:00] <ubotu> carutsu: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[05:00] <dilch> syte, you still have port 22 filtered
[05:00] <carutsu> but ok
[05:00] <Parabola> 12188: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed
[05:00] <ThePub> Crescendo: I gave you as much of a hint as I can give :)  IDK, I tend to label all my music as I add it, if it doesn't already come with a good label.
[05:00] <carutsu> i knew that
[05:00] <Parabola> everyone is set to have access, any ideas?
[05:00] <M1> seriously guys, you have NO idea how psyched I am
[05:00] <syte> kk
[05:00] <carutsu> relax it'll be solved
[05:00] <carutsu> i have 2 problems: the sound embeded in flash is not sync with the video (neither in firefox nor in konqueror) and SuperKaramba crashes a lot!
[05:00] <nothlit> carutsu, all ubuntu desktop installs, probably even server installs should have aptitude and apt-get
[05:00] <M1> I mean, I've been using windows for YEARS
[05:00] <Crescendo> ThePub, yeah, so do I, but in a data transfer it seems they all got FUBARed, one way or another. :/
[05:01] <M1> hey ThePub
[05:01] <dilch> syte, hey join #syte
[05:01] <nothlit> !synaptic | MI
[05:01] <ubotu> MI: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[05:01] <carutsu> nothlit: i didnt knew that, i though it was kde only
[05:01] <arrenlex> carutsu: Apropos the first problem, are you using flash 7 or 9?
[05:01] <M1> I can't find gpparted in the list for the life of me
[05:01] <carutsu> *didnt know sorry
[05:01] <carutsu> 7
[05:01] <dilch> syte, so i can tell you things that the kiddies won't latch on to
[05:01] <tonyyarusso> carutsu: For flash sound sync, blame flash.  The flash 9 beta 2 fixes that for some people.
[05:01] <M1> sorry, I'm a novice
[05:01] <carutsu> arrenlex: flash 7
[05:01] <ThePub> M1:  *points to what ubotu told you*
[05:01] <arrenlex> carutsu: Upgrade to 9.
[05:01] <nothlit> carutsu, no thats adept, and you can use synaptic in kde and adept in gnome
[05:01] <bjorner> I am reading this: http://www.pcmech.com/show/os/917/2/ about Synaptic but it won't work..
[05:01] <SilentDis> aargh, bbiab
[05:01] <carutsu> nothlit sorry! i confused them!
[05:01] <carutsu> arrenlex isnt too risky in a beta?
[05:02] <arrenlex> carutsu: ..."risky"? A multimedia plugin?
[05:02] <nothlit> flash9 is worth it, unless you have significant problems, but its been updated lately
[05:02] <carutsu> carutsu: i dont know anything with beta on it might be risky
[05:02] <karakara> anyone know how to test if your open gl is workin?
[05:02] <arrenlex> carutsu: You have significant demands of dependability from Flash?
[05:02] <M1> all right
[05:02] <nothlit> carutsu, most it can do is crash firefox
[05:02] <DigitalNinja> Can you do beryl on Dapper? I got it working on Edgy
[05:03] <M1> here's the dumbest question of the day
[05:03] <arrenlex> arrenlex: carutsu is talking to himself.
[05:03] <arrenlex> arrenlex: Yes he is. He's weird.
[05:03] <M1> (perhaps week)
[05:03] <arrenlex> arrenlex: Quite.
[05:03] <bjorner> If I go to System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager nothing happends (and yes I am Windowized with GUI)
[05:03] <M1> where do I type "(11:01:03 PM) nothlit: !synaptic | MI"
[05:03] <nothlit> DigitalNinja, yes, but you need to use xgl
[05:03] <carutsu> arrenlex no significant
[05:03] <M1> !synaptic
[05:03] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[05:03] <M1> i'm not that illiterate
[05:03] <DigitalNinja> nothlit: How do I get xgl
[05:03] <arrenlex> carutsu: Install flash 9. It's far better than 7.
[05:03] <ThePub> M1: system -> administration -> synaptic
[05:03] <carutsu> arrenglerx nothlit thank you
[05:03] <nothlit> DigitalNinja, wiki.beryl-project.com, they have good guides and explanations
[05:04] <ThePub> M1: administration is where many of the system-related software is listed in the gnome menu.
[05:04] <carutsu> arrenlex is it on adept pakages?
[05:04] <arrenlex> "arrenglerx" sounds like someone started saying my name and then choked on something.
[05:04] <ThePub> M1: preferences is for session/user specific stuff, for the most part.
[05:04] <DarkED> Okay, well... i'm getting 3D now, so thats fixed
[05:04] <arrenlex> !flash 9 | carutsu
[05:04] <ubotu> carutsu: flash9 is available from dapper-backports and edgy-backports now, see !backports
[05:04] <DigitalNinja> nothlit: Do you think it's better to switch to Edgy? I was going to stick with Dapper because of the long term support
[05:04] <carutsu> arrenlex sorry i just tried to type fast
[05:04] <jjazz> I haven't installed Ubuntu in a while.  A friend of mine somehow ended up in Dependency Hell while going from Dapper to Edgy.  He wants to reinstall but not lose the data in one of his partitions.  Does the current Dapper upgrade CD accomodate him?
[05:04] <arrenlex> DigitalNinja: Why do you need LTS?
[05:04] <jjazz> s/upgrade/install/
[05:05] <DigitalNinja> arrenlex: Just trying to be on the safe side. I use Linux for my business
[05:05] <carutsu> !backports
[05:05] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[05:05] <arrenlex> jjazz: He should come here and we can help him sort out his dependencies. :)
[05:05] <ThePub> jjazz: when you're installing, you'll only lose data on a partition you tell the installer to format.  iirc.
[05:05] <arrenlex> DigitalNinja: Ah. Okay.
[05:05] <M1> it's working!!!
[05:05] <M1> you guys ROCK
[05:05] <nothlit> DigitalNinja, if you want something particular from edgy, then switch (like if xgl is too slow and you need aiglx or nvidia, though you could install aiglx in dapper if you really wanted) otherwise stick to dapper, its more 'together'
[05:05] <jjazz> arrenlex: I'll recommend it.
[05:05] <nothlit> DigitalNinja, business? stick to dapper.
[05:05] <carutsu> M1 what your problem was?
[05:05] <jjazz> thanks
[05:05] <M1> you may not understand what I said 10 times already
[05:06] <M1> I'm rocking the linux box dudes!!!
[05:06] <carutsu> lol
[05:06] <nothlit> rofl
[05:06] <arrenlex> Gnarly.
[05:06] <M1> I almost feel like I'm cheating on my girlfriend
[05:06] <DigitalNinja> nothlit: OK! I've got an nvidia card. Should I use the nvidia stuff. I'm not sure what that is but I see it as an option in Edgy
[05:06] <DarkED> Okay, I get it now
[05:06] <DarkED> My master also doubles as my PCM now
[05:06] <DarkED> So as long as it stays at 50, I'm okay
[05:07] <mohlertm> Hello, how do i get some help....
[05:07] <nothlit> jjazz, your friend can remove all the apps and run apt-get with -f until he gets rid of everything (as long as you keep ubuntu-minimal, then just install ubuntu-desktop)
[05:07] <carutsu> nothlit i'm sorry i cant find it, would you mind giving me a hand?
[05:07] <arrenlex> !ask | mohlertm
[05:07] <ubotu> mohlertm: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:07] <M1> running my fingers gently accross my "linux box"
[05:07] <_goofy_> what option would i use to mount a filesystem so that anyone can read/write to the filesystem
[05:07] <M1> haha
[05:07] <ThePub> DarkED: I used to have a card like that, it was the card driver.
[05:07] <nothlit> carutsu, finding what?
[05:07] <jjazz> nothlit: That's an idea.
[05:07] <M1> ok, one more quick thing
[05:07] <bjorner> In access to not being able to start synaptics, I can't launch network config either
[05:07] <M1> I have a wireless modem
[05:07] <M1> with WPA protection
[05:07] <DarkED> ThePub: this is an older card, its an onboard SiS7018
[05:08] <nothlit> jjazz, the metapackage should handle everything
[05:08] <mohlertm> I am running Edgy (just installed)..how do i connect to my Windows XP Home computer on my network?
[05:08] <M1> does Ubuntu support wireless WPA protocol
[05:08] <nothlit> jjazz, you just need to get rid of all the dependency nonsense
[05:08] <carutsu> nothlit flash 9 i see i see libflash-mozplugin -swfplayer flashplayer-mozilla! too many choices but none of them says 9
[05:08] <M1> I have a Dell Laptop with wireless miniPCI card
[05:08] <bjorner> Machine loads "as if about to start program" then nothin'....
[05:08] <nothlit> !flash9 | carutsu
[05:08] <ubotu> carutsu: flash9 is available from dapper-backports and edgy-backports now, see !backports
[05:08] <arrenlex> !samba | mohlertm
[05:08] <ubotu> mohlertm: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[05:08] <M1> obviously I'm ok using wired connection
[05:08] <Hobbsee> M1: yes, with the network-manager-gnome
[05:09] <Hobbsee> M1: install network-manager-gnome, then type in your passphrase
[05:09] <Hobbsee> !network > M1
[05:09] <carutsu> !bakports
[05:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bakports - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:09] <carutsu> !backporte
[05:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about backporte - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:09] <carutsu> lol!!

[05:09] <nothlit> !backports > carutsu
[05:09] <carutsu> tahnk you
[05:09] <_goofy_> how do i mount a drive so anyone can read/write to it?
[05:09] <carutsu> i'm having problems
[05:10] <nothlit> !fstab | _goofy_
[05:10] <ubotu> _goofy_: 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
[05:10] <karakara> o rly
[05:10] <cardanto1> hey -- anyone know how to complete a command in bash? i.e. i know i used . . . fill in the rest for me
[05:10] <carutsu> try sudo mount what-to-mount where-to-mount
[05:10] <arrenlex> cardanto1: Tab.
[05:10] <carutsu> or the other way not sure
[05:10] <crowley1027> how do i open the sources.list file in terminal?
[05:10] <crowley1027> !sources
[05:10] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[05:10] <arrenlex> crowley1027: To read, or to edit?
[05:10] <crowley1027> edit
[05:10] <arrenlex> crowley1027: Using nano.
[05:10] <crowley1027> what command
[05:11] <arrenlex> crowley1027: "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list"
[05:11] <arrenlex> crowley1027: Arrow keys to move around. ctrl+x to save and quit.
[05:11] <cardanto1> arrenlex -- no that fills in all commands -- i want a command i just typed (i.e. in my history file) -- i don't want to use grep -- i think i remember ! command from csh days
[05:11] <talbain> is there a boot command to specify the refresh rate?
[05:11] <arrenlex> cardanto1: ctrl+r
[05:11] <arrenlex> cardanto1: Or just history | grep <whatever>
[05:11] <arrenlex> cardanto1: Or the up key.
[05:11] <carutsu> nothlit finally after all this time in flash 7 we are going to flash 9, we are finally catching them up viva linux!
[05:11] <cardanto1> reverse-i-search?
[05:12] <arrenlex> cardanto1: Yes. It searches through your history. Start typing.
[05:12] <nothlit> carutsu,  :)
[05:12] <talbain> live cd gives me lines as if resolution or refresh rates are too high but changed resolutions with F4 and no go also choosing safe graphics mode
[05:12] <cardanto1> got it -- it found a match -- that's good -- i want another though -- how can i do that?
[05:12] <crowley1027> i added the seveas link to my sources.list, now how do i get libdvdcss
[05:13] <AngryElf_> where does thunderbird keep my preferences by default -- there is nothing inside ~/.mozilla
[05:13] <crowley1027> sudo apt-get install libdvdcss won't work
[05:13] <arrenlex> carutsu: If by "viva Linux" you mean "this just shows us ever more clearly that we are at the mercy of corporate players who decide whether or not they have anything to do with us out of nothing more than the goodness of their hearts", yes. Viva linux.
[05:13] <M1> hey all
[05:13] <arrenlex> crowley1027: You need to update your cache first. sudo apt-get update
[05:13] <M1> I downloaded network manager gnome
[05:13] <carutsu> lol
[05:13] <M1> but I cannot find it in any list
[05:13] <crowley1027> ooh :)
[05:13] <crowley1027> thx
[05:13] <M1> is reboot necessary?
[05:13] <crowley1027> then sudo apt-get install libdvdcss?
[05:14] <Falstius> talbain: I have a monitor that won't go above 640x480 and to get it to work with the live CD I have to use xrandr after logging in.
[05:14] <arrenlex> crowley1027: Yes. I think it's called libdvdcss2 actually.
[05:14] <crowley1027> k
[05:14] <nothlit> crowley1027, sudo aptitude update, and then its libdvdcss2
[05:14] <arrenlex> crowley1027: You can use "apt-cache search libdvdcss" to search for it.
[05:14] <carutsu> no actually it means "we are catching up them, linux is getting even better, allowing us to be on pair with other oses with corporative suport"
[05:14] <M1> oh, but the way I'M TOTALLY rocking thins LINUX box
[05:14] <cardanto1> exit
[05:14] <talbain> Falstius: this monitor goes upto 800x600 under windows
[05:14] <arrenlex> carutsu: We are not catching them, we are being given handouts when people feel sorry for us. But this conversation belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[05:15] <crowley1027> whats the path to my desktop?
[05:15] <crowley1027> if the username is crowley1027
[05:15] <Gorillasmalls> can someone help me install compiz on my computer
[05:15] <talbain>  "/home/crowley1027/Desktop/"?
[05:16] <SilentDis> back again :)
[05:16] <crowley1027> so the command for playing the bin file would be... vlc dvd________________________
[05:16] <crowley1027> i don't know it.
[05:16] <carutsu> nothilt i think the future is open software although they try to stop us by the so called "trusted computing" i'm just more optimistic
[05:16] <talbain> is there a boot command to specify the refresh rate?
[05:16] <ungo> I'm having some problems using wine to run a program, would anyone mind giving me a hang?
[05:16] <talbain> live cd gives me lines as if resolution or refresh rates are too high but changed resolutions with F4 and no go also choosing safe graphics mode
[05:16] <arrenlex> ungo: "problems" is kind of vague.
[05:16] <SilentDis> quick question:  someone mentioned a way to 'backup' your current local .deb files for either archival purposes, or transfer to another machine.  could someone remind me of the tool to do this?
[05:17] <Slyboots_> Hi
[05:17] <arrenlex> !hi
[05:17] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[05:17] <crowley1027> nothilt: whats the command for opening the dvd?
[05:17] <crowley1027> the dvd file
[05:18] <crowley1027> @bye
[05:18] <Slyboots_> But.. the system settings have changed a lot!.. They were both downloaded at the same time...
[05:18] <crowley1027> !bye
[05:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bye - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:18] <crowley1027> lol
[05:18] <crowley1027> !goodbye
[05:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about goodbye - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:18] <Slyboots_> It makes me feel more importaint
[05:18] <Slyboots_> ;)
[05:18] <arrenlex> Slyboots_: You mean the default settings?
[05:18] <crowley1027> nothilt: what is the terminal command for watching DVDs with VLC?
[05:19] <nothlit> arrenlex, why are you telling people to use apt-cache search without --names-only?
[05:19] <stars> try gnome-open filename from the command prompt
[05:19] <Slyboots_> Like the Spell-check in MS word..
[05:19] <Slyboots_> Which just seems to be gone now..
[05:19] <crowley1027> nothilt: what is the terminal command for watching DVDs on VLC
[05:19] <arrenlex> nothlit: Apologies. I suppose I will recommend aptitude search now.
[05:20] <arrenlex> Slyboots_: I believe that is aslepp.
[05:20] <Falstius> crowley1027: vlc /dev/cdrom
[05:20] <arrenlex> Slyboots_: apt-get install aspell
[05:20] <compilerwriter> Is there a way via the miracle of linux to mount a device on another box on my home network and use it?
[05:20] <crowley1027> Falstius: the file is on my desktop
[05:20] <ungo> I get this error when trying to run a program with wine "err:module:import_dll Library EAX.DLL " anyone have an idea why?
[05:20] <arrenlex> Slyboots_: I meant to say aspell the first time too but my fingers decided they didn't like me.
[05:20] <nothlit> !aspell
[05:20] <ubotu> aspell: GNU Aspell spell-checker. In component main, is optional. Version 0.60.4-4 (edgy), package size 124 kB, installed size 1052 kB
[05:20] <nothlit> !smbfs | compilerwriter
[05:20] <ubotu> smbfs: mount and umount commands for the smbfs (for kernels >= than 2.2.x). In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.22-1ubuntu4 (edgy), package size 375 kB, installed size 900 kB
[05:20] <SilentDis> arrenlex:  nah.  grepping the packages.list file is the only way to go LOL
[05:20] <Falstius> crowley1027: then that's not a DVD .. is it an ISO or a couple of VOBs?
[05:20] <compilerwriter> BTW the other box is a Winblows machine
[05:20] <nothlit> !smbfs | compilerwriter
[05:20] <Slyboots_> aspell eh?
[05:20] <crowley1027> .Bin and .cue
[05:20] <compilerwriter> !smbfs
[05:21] <nothlit> anyways its a virtual filesystem for samba, windows networking basically
[05:21] <SilentDis> quick question:  someone mentioned a way to 'backup' your current local .deb files for either archival purposes, or transfer to another machine.  could someone remind me of the tool to do this?
[05:21] <Falstius> crowley1027: I hate those ... you might have to mount it but I'm not sure how.
[05:21] <Slyboots_> aspell is already the newest version.
[05:21] <crowley1027> if nothlit would answer me...
[05:21] <compilerwriter> so nothlit I could actually burn dvds from Minuet to the dvd drive on Mac?
[05:21] <crowley1027> nothlit: how do i open the file???
[05:21] <stars> crowley1027, cant you play the bin by selecting it from the gui?
[05:22] <crowley1027> stars: no
[05:22] <arrenlex> Slyboots_: aspell-en is also the newest version?
[05:22] <Slyboots_> yup
[05:22] <crowley1027> [00000294]  main private error: cannot re fill buffer
[05:22] <crowley1027> [00000278]  main playlist: nothing to play

[05:23] <nothlit> crowley1027, use vlc or (g)mplayer and dvd://
[05:23] <arrenlex> Slyboots_: Hmm.
[05:23] <arrenlex> Slyboots_: Oh. What about gnome-spell?
[05:23] <crowley1027> if the file is on my desktop, how do i write it.
[05:23] <Slyboots_> arrenlex: I'll try that now
[05:23] <crowley1027> dvd://home/crowley1027/Desktop/
[05:23] <crowley1027> ?
[05:23] <arrenlex> Slyboots_: That is my last guess. I don't even run gnome so I have no idea what I'm doing giving you advice about it.
[05:23] <nothlit> crowley1027, we are volunteers, and we don't have to respond right away you know
[05:23] <arrenlex> crowley1027: That would attempt to open the folder /home/crowley1027/Desktop/ as a DVD. I don't think that's what you want.
[05:23] <Slyboots_> arrenlex: already installed and latest version
[05:24] <crowley1027> *sigh*
[05:24] <nothlit> crowley1027, yeah, with the  File.bin afterwards
[05:24] <compilerwriter> I have one machine on my network that has a DVD burner.  My linux box could use samba to burn to it on another box?
[05:24] <arrenlex> Slyboots_: I don't know, then. Sorry. = /
[05:24] <ungo> arrenlex: I get the error "err:module:import_dll Library EAX.DLL " when trying to run a program with wine.  Not sure what to do about it
[05:24] <crowley1027> would the command be vlc dvd://home/crowley1027/Desktop/Mission To Mars/Mission To Mars.bin
[05:24] <Slyboots_> Doh :(
[05:24] <arrenlex> compilerwriter: No.
[05:24] <DarthLappy> crowley1027: You've gotta escape the spaces.
[05:24] <nothlit> crowley1027, try it
[05:24] <compilerwriter> I was afraid of that.
[05:24] <arrenlex> crowley1027: vlc dvd://home/crowley1027/Desktop/Mission\ To\ Mars/Mission\ To\ Mars.bin
[05:24] <crowley1027> [00000320]  vcdx access error: source name Mars.cue is not recognized as a CUE file

[05:24] <crowley1027> [00000278]  main playlist: nothing to play
[05:25] <stars> crowley1027, use \ then a space for the spaces in the filename
[05:25] <nothlit> crowley1027, rename the bin
[05:25] <nothlit> crowley1027, what we're doing is a hack, vlc is actually expecting a device
[05:25] <nothlit> crowley1027, name it to something with not spaces
[05:25] <compilerwriter> So I will have to run the file over via a thumb drive or something then? arrenlex
[05:25] <crowley1027> mission.bin and mars.cue?
[05:25] <nothlit> sure
[05:25] <arrenlex> nothlit: Hold on, I think his problem is that his spaces are unescaped. Look at the filename it printed: Mars.cue
[05:25] <crowley1027> done
[05:26] <crowley1027> mission.bin          mars.cue
[05:26] <crowley1027> and the folder is now Missionmars
[05:26] <Falstius> crowley1027: they should probably have the same name ..
[05:26] <SilentDis> I'd like to backup my apt-cache for archival purposes.  is there any way to do this, or shall I just copy over .deb files?
[05:26] <arrenlex> compilerwriter: Well technically, you could set something like SSH up, where you transfer the file to the mac and then burn it by command line.
[05:26] <crowley1027> k
[05:26] <mohlertm> I need to access some files on my xp home computer.  i have installed linux edgy 6.10 on this computer.  this puter is connected to my network.  How do i get to the files on my xp computer?
[05:26] <nothlit> arrenlex, oh, he used tab completion last time
[05:27] <ski-worklap> is there a nice gui sftp/scp program for gnome?
[05:27] <arrenlex> nothlit: Really. Why did it print Mars.cue then?
[05:27] <nothlit> !gftp

[05:28] <nothlit> crowley1027, use gmplayer then
[05:28] <ski-worklap> crowley1027, don't say "sorry in advance", used a pastebin
[05:28] <Parabola> I'm having an issue with chown, as root im getting "operation not permitted" on a mounted samba share
[05:28] <crowley1027> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37867/
[05:28] <SilentDis> mohlertm:  are the files you need shared on the windows machine?

[05:28] <nothlit> crowley1027, are you sure you installed libdvdcss2?
[05:28] <mohlertm> Yes they are.
[05:28] <crowley1027> nothlit: yes
[05:28] <arrenlex> Parabola: You don't chown shares. You have to pass them permissions at mount time.

[05:29] <crowley1027> bedtime!!
[05:29] <Parabola> arrenlex okay can you help with that
[05:29] <arrenlex> Parabola: Mount it with umask=000

[05:29] <mohlertm> SilentDis yes they are.
[05:29] <SilentDis> !samba | mohlertm
[05:29] <ubotu> mohlertm: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[05:30] <triplah_> i re call a friend telling me there was a oneliner to get a lamp setup on ubuntu
[05:30] <triplah_> anyone know what that is?
[05:30] <SilentDis> !lamp | triplah_
[05:30] <ubotu> triplah_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[05:30] <triplah_> lovely thanks
[05:30] <mohlertm> ubotu - htat was way over my head......just getting started with linux.  are you saying I need to install Samba on my Edgy Machine?
[05:30] <SilentDis> triplah_ nt :)
[05:30] <Parabola> arrenlex: what options do i need to look into?
[05:30] <nothlit> SilenceGold, ehh he doesn't need a samba server, just smbfs or use gnomes libvfs
[05:31] <arrenlex> !ubotu | mohlertm
[05:31] <ubotu> mohlertm: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[05:31] <arrenlex> Parabola: Mount it with umask=000 as an option
[05:31] <SilentDis> nothlit:  good point.
[05:31] <ski-worklap> is there a way to tell mount "use umask bla on directories" and umask foo on files ?
[05:31] <ski-worklap> basically the x bit on files makes me nervous, but i still need to change to directories obviously
[05:32] <SilentDis> mohlertm:  you should be able to install 2 apps, then just use nautilus to see your windows machine.
[05:32] <ski-worklap> considering i'm mounting from a windows machine
[05:32] <mohlertm> SilentDis: What 2 apps?
[05:32] <lucas9000> i'm trying to partition a hard drive as ext3 using gparted, but when i tell it to unmount the drive it says it can't because "most likely other partitions are also mounted on these mountpoints.  you are advised to unmount them manually"
[05:32] <lucas9000> any ideas?
[05:32] <SilentDis> mohlertm:  in a terminal window, type the following :  sudo apt-get install smbfs
[05:32] <ski-worklap> last time i changed umask in /etc/fstab (a few hours ago), then remounted, i got wacky ls output with a whole bunch of question marks in it
[05:33] <triplah_> lucas9000, does mount tell you that anything is mounted there?
[05:33] <lucas9000> triplah: do you mean in terminal?
[05:33] <jfarrell> so whats the quickest way to refresh an IP
[05:33] <triplah_> lucas9000, yep
[05:33] <nothlit> lucas9000, use your desktop livecd and use gparted from there
[05:33] <jfarrell> i thought sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart would do it
[05:34] <Parabola> arrenlex: saying line is bad, i have //server/share /local path smbfs username=adsf,password=adsf umask=000
[05:34] <lucas9000> triplah: how do i do that?  sudo mount /media/sdb1 ?
[05:34] <SilentDis> mohlertm:  actually... that should be all you'll need, thinking of it...  once that command is done, just click places > network servers > windows Network, and you should see your windows machine :)
[05:34] <Parabola> arrenlex i also tried putting umask on the inside of user/pass section
[05:34] <arrenlex> Parabola: //server/share /local path smbfs username=adsf,password=adsf,umask=000
[05:34] <Parabola> ahh
[05:34] <Parabola> ty :)
[05:35] <arrenlex> Parabola: Oh, I should warn you that umask=000 gives 777 permissions. You might want to tone that down if that's too loose for you.
[05:35] <nothlit> or you can give it guest
[05:35] <nothlit> if theres no user/pass
[05:36] <arrenlex> Parabola: nothlit is ( I BELIEVE >=| ) talking to you.
[05:36] <jfarrell> hrmm
[05:36] <karakara> i always thought ubuntu would be quicker on this laptop than win2003 server, yet it seems the opposite is true
[05:36] <jfarrell> why isnt this machine getting an IP - the windows machine got it on the first try
[05:36] <nothlit> arrenlex, rofl you care more about whether my messages get to the right person than i do

[05:37] <nothlit> hmm
[05:37] <lucas9000> triplah: you there?
[05:37] <karakara> dhclient eth0
[05:37] <jfarrell> nothlit, it doesnt come with it
[05:37] <karakara> perhaps
[05:37] <nothlit> karakara, you don't have to run gnome
[05:38] <jfarrell> i have to install a seperate program for my box to acquire an IP from a bridge that it is directly connected to?
[05:38] <karakara> hmm.. point..
[05:38] <lucas9000> nothlit: i will try the livecd...thanks
[05:38] <nothlit> no sorry, i expected there to be a dhcp factoid jfarrell
[05:38] <mohlertm> SilentDis: YOU ARE THE MAN!  I cannot believe the support for Linux.....I love this new machine.  one questions though.....it takes a while to open the folders on my xp machine...is that normal?
[05:38] <nothlit> jfarrell, the dhcp client should already be installed
[05:38] <triplah_> lucas9000, sorry. type "mount" in the terminal
[05:38] <SilentDis> How do i backup my /var/cache/apt/archives for archival and/or distrobution?  (got 2 machines running edgy, might as well have just 1 do the downloading)
[05:39] <jfarrell> nothlit, i just changed out the cables, the windows box was using the bridge, now I have the Linux box hooked up
[05:39] <jfarrell> but no internet access
[05:39] <karakara> i'd lovu to frick around with that 3d desktop thing that makes your workspaces switch around as cube faces
[05:39] <arrenlex> SilentDis: using the magic of tar?

[05:39] <lucas9000> triplah: ok...what am i looking for in this info it gave me?
[05:39] <Parabola> arrenlex: is umask=000 the most unrestrive as far as permissions go?
[05:39] <SilentDis> mohlertm:  other than the gender-mistake in there, thank you :)  it does take a bit to go back and forth through samba, i've noticed myself, but not horribly so :)
[05:39] <karakara> yeah.. just need to get that workin
[05:39] <arrenlex> Parabola: Yes. As I said, 777. Anyone can do anything. It is the wikipedia of permissions.
[05:40] <arrenlex> SilentDis: Be warned that /etc/apt/cache/archives does not represent the packages that are on your system.
[05:40] <arrenlex> SilentDis: in particular, you may have many older versions there.
[05:40] <SilentDis> arrenlex:  I thought of that, or just sharing out /var/cache/apt/archives via nfs, but I coulda swore there was a way to just backup what i've got and 'transport' it to another machine.
[05:40] <karakara> hu hu hu
[05:40] <arrenlex> SilentDis: the .debs?
[05:40] <SilentDis> arrenlex:  yeah... i guess it would be like creating a local repo of sorts
[05:40] <starz> right
[05:40] <starz> so im getting soft lockups

[05:41] <SilentDis> mohlertm:  no trouble at all :)
[05:41] <starz> any clues as to what the heck that could mean?
[05:41] <arrenlex> SilentDis: I don't know enough about how dpkg works. Sorry.
[05:41] <lucas9000> triplah: i don't think there are
[05:41] <starz> its running on a brand new 300 gig hdd using reiserfs
[05:41] <Digitalglitch> lol :P
[05:42] <lucas9000> well, there are 3 drives mounted in /media/
[05:42] <SilentDis> starz:  does fsck on the drive show anything?
[05:42] <lucas9000> triplah: is that what you mean by the same place?
[05:42] <starz> how do i do that
[05:42] <Digitalglitch> I'm getting a enturrput error and was woundering what it could be. it reboots the pc
[05:42] <starz> fsck /dev/hda  ??
[05:42] <SilentDis> starz:  you'll  need to reboot from your livecd before running fsck on the disk, of course
[05:42] <starz> while its running?
[05:42] <starz> oic
[05:42] <starz> sigh
[05:42] <SilentDis> !who | starz
[05:42] <ubotu> starz: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say, or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[05:42] <starz> ok i'll be back in a second
[05:42] <mohlertm> Silentdis: one more thing, I am trying to use VLC player to play my DVD's.  It actually closes itself when I click on the dvd and Okay.  I tried running it in the default movie player and it plays fine for about 10 minutes or so....any idea how I can fix it?
[05:42] <nothlit> SilenceGold, theres a apt cacher tutorial either on debuntu or debianadmin, it should be on debuntu
[05:43] <nothlit> SilentDis, , theres a apt cacher tutorial either on debuntu or debianadmin, it should be on debuntu
[05:43] <nothlit> SilentDis, if the other machine is not network accessible, theres apt-zip
[05:43] <SilentDis> nothlit:  got a link?  i could have sworn I searched around those :P
[05:43] <triplah_> lucas9000, maybe pastebin the output from "mount"  raf.net/paste
[05:43] <triplah_> er
[05:43] <Digitalglitch> Could it be a problem with usb port or a pci card? or ??
[05:43] <triplah_> lucas9000, rafb.net/paste
[05:44] <SilentDis> nothlit:  oh, both machines have access to shared network drive space.
[05:44] <nothlit> SilentDis: you're lucky it's in my browser history http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-set-up-a-repository-cache-with-apt-cacher
[05:44] <Parabola> arrenlex lol still getting owned
[05:44] <SilentDis> mohlertm:  I am actually having a VERY similar problem with that myself... then again, my PSU is failing, so I can't really diagnose if that's what's causing it on my machine or not :(
[05:44] <arrenlex> Parabola: ?
[05:45] <SilentDis> nothlit:  you rock, thanks :D
[05:45] <lucas9000> triplah: http://rafb.net/paste/results/bowyRt13.html
[05:45] <Parabola> arrenlex cant delete files
[05:45] <mohlertm> Silentdis: THanks :-)
[05:45] <lucas9000> triplah: it's sdb1 that i'm trying to work with
[05:45] <gpd> is there a problem with the us.archive mirrors ? i am getting gzip errors?
[05:45] <jfarrell> anyone, is there a reason that when connected to a bridge that has been working fine with Windows, Ubuntu will only get an Ipv6 address for eth0
[05:46] <arrenlex> Parabola: a) what does your fstab line look like, b) have you remounted? c) Could you give me an ls -ld of the directory please?
[05:46] <nothlit> change it to archive.ubuntu.com gpd the us mirrors have caused a lot of problems lately
[05:46] <Digitalglitch> any way to look up the interrupt on my windows machine to see what the problem is when trying to boot ubuntu live?
[05:46] <gpd> nothlit: ok - thanks :)
[05:46] <nothlit> Parabola, have you used uid/gid?
[05:46] <mohlertm> Can anyone help to determine why VLC closes when i try to play dvd's and the "movie player" only plays the first 10 minutes or so and gives me a "read source error".  Any help on getting VLC to work?
[05:47] <nothlit> !alternate | Digitalglitch
[05:47] <ubotu> Digitalglitch: 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.
[05:47] <nothlit> mohlertm, start vlc in the terminal and look at those errors, (also you can google them :) )
[05:47] <triplah_> lucas9000, so you are trying umount /dev/sdb1  ?
[05:47] <lucas9000> triplah: yes
[05:47] <nothlit> mohlertm, otherwise, you can use mplayer and ogle
[05:47] <Digitalglitch> ?
[05:47] <triplah_> lucas9000, ca you paste the exact output?
[05:48] <lucas9000> triplah: of what?  the gparted error message?
[05:48] <triplah_> lucas9000, can you type umount /dev/sdb1 in a terminal. and paste the message here
[05:48] <triplah_> if there is no message then it unmounted fine
[05:49] <lucas9000> triplah: "umount: /dev/sdb1 mount disagrees with the fstab"
[05:49] <we6jb1> I have a question
[05:49] <malv> is it possible to use nvidia raid with ubuntu?
[05:49] <we6jb1> Where can I go to paste code so that someone else can read it?
[05:49] <we6jb1> nm
[05:50] <triplah_> lucas9000, ok, now we are getting somewhere, type this in terminal: "grep sdb1 /etc/fstab"
[05:50] <lucas9000> triplah: ok, do you want me to paste the output of that?
[05:50] <triplah_> lucas9000, as long as it isnt more than 3 lines
[05:51] <triplah_> paste it here
[05:51] <triplah_> should be one or 2 lines
[05:51] <lucas9000> triplah: http://rafb.net/paste/results/AFEVS867.nln.html (just to be safe)
[05:51] <triplah_> ty
[05:51] <triplah_> lucas9000, ok, sudo gedit /etc/fstab  and comment out that line (put a # at the start of the line)
[05:51] <triplah_> save it and close gedit
[05:52] <triplah_> then try umount /dev/sdb1 again (in the terminal)
[05:52] <starz> i dont remember who it was but someone told me a minute ago to do fsck on my hdd?
[05:52] <starz> do i just do normal fsck or use fsck.reiserfs ?
[05:52] <nothlit> malv, yes, but you should make sure that particular raid controller is supported theres a linux-ata site
[05:52] <malv> is it worth the effort to do?
[05:53] <ski-worklap> starz, fsck just calls fsck.reiserfs
[05:53] <malv> are there large performance gains versus software raid?
[05:53] <starz> awesome logged in here via irssi doing fsck.reiserfs right now thanx ski-worklap
[05:54] <SilentDis> starz:  that was me :)  fsck will call fsck.reiserfs for you.  sudo fsck /dev/XdXX -C (replace the Xs with the proper info)
[05:54] <starz> ski-worklap: do i need to specify a partition or u SilentDis ?
[05:54] <ski-worklap> malv - actually in any cases software raid is faster
[05:54] <malv> ski-worklap, cool. I will go with software raid then
[05:54] <ski-worklap> if you have enough memory bandwidth, in particular, since your cpu will be much faster than the onboard risc processor on the raid board
[05:54] <lucas9000> triplah: it unmounted
[05:54] <ski-worklap> s/any/many/
[05:54] <lucas9000> triplah ftw!
[05:54] <SilentDis> starz:  what kind of HD (IDE or SATA), and what partition is it on?
[05:55] <malv> thank you both for your input
[05:55] <lucas9000> triplah: formatting it as ext3 in gparted now
[05:55] <starz> its ide root is hda2 i'm just doing: sudo fsck /dev/hda2 -C
[05:55] <triplah_> lucas9000, ok, well i think the automounter was conflicting with fstab. wierd. but at least you know how to get around it
[05:55] <carutsu> it worked!
[05:55] <carutsu> now its fine!
[05:55] <SilentDis> starz:  that will take care of it for you.  it'll show any errors and allow you to fix them.
[05:55] <lucas9000> triplah: so will i have to go back and change the fstab file in gedit after?
[05:56] <lucas9000> triplah: or do i just tell gparted to mount when it's done formatting?
[05:56] <starz> the hardware on this computer is old so it could also be going to its death: anything that i could look at as a cause? ~ errors no corruptions in root.. going to /home
[05:56] <triplah_> lucas9000, it depends what you make your partition. you may like to modify that line to reflect the changes you make
[05:56] <starz> @silentdis sorry
[05:56] <SilentDis> starz:  if you're curious, the -C option gives you a nice progress bar, so you can see it working :)
[05:56] <ski-worklap> starz, see if any ata messages are in dmesg
[05:56] <lucas9000> triplah: i'm obviously a noob...can i just leave the fstab alone now?
[05:56] <starz> ah lol. ok?
[05:57] <starz> !paste
[05:57] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:57] <triplah_> lucas9000, and to uncomment it. in general.... your ext3 line will be a lot simpler than that ntfs one.
[05:57] <mohlertm> Anyone: what is the easiest way for a new Edgy user (and i do mean new -- maybe 4 hours now) to get dvd's, .avi, .ram, and xvid media to play on my machine?
[05:57] <triplah_> lucas9000, well you probably want the line if you want it to automount when the computer boots up
[05:57] <SilentDis> starz:  i'm barely hanging on right now with a failing PSU myself :P  got a replacement one on it's way at least.  when a PSU dies, it'll either just kaput one day, or the machine will start crashing/kicking out random errors
[05:57] <ski-worklap> !easyubuntu | mohlertm
[05:57] <ubotu> mohlertm: easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ - For help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu
[05:57] <lucas9000> triplah: so should i just change it to match my other ext3 drive?
[05:57] <dilch> mohlertm, 2 answers; 1) boot windows (joke) 2) mplayer and codecs
[05:58] <triplah_> lucas9000, yeah, make sure you get the right /dev/foo and mount point etc :)
[05:58] <starz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37869/ @ SilentDis thats after the fsc of /root partition...
[05:58] <dilch> personally i wouldn't touch easyubuntu with a 323 foot pole
[05:58] <Akuma_> what does it mean that i can't find a newer version of subverion in the repositories?
[05:58] <lucas9000> triplah: it's done formatting...now how do i mount it?
[05:58] <ski-worklap> dilch, well, it's an easy way to get mplayer with w32 codecs *shrug*
[05:59] <mohlertm> dilch: how do i get to the codecs.  when i play in mplayer it only plays the firs 10 minutes before it says "could not read from source"
[05:59] <dilch> ski-worklap, yeah, why not. Wasn't critisizing you personally
[05:59] <triplah_> lucas9000, mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
[05:59] <smoked1> Does anyone know if there is a rapidshare client for linux?
[05:59] <ski-worklap> starz, that looks fine. no kernel indication of impending hd failure
[05:59] <dilch> mohlertm, well that's not a codec problem then
[05:59] <SilentDis> !rapidshare
[05:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rapidshare - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:59] <dilch> mohlertm, you are saying it actually plays it fine then quits?
[06:00] <lucas9000> triplah: can i do mount /dev/sdb1 /storage2 to make it more consistent with my current ext3 drive?
[06:00] <triplah_> lucas9000, change your line in fstab to look like this "/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1     ext3    defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0       1"
[06:00] <triplah_> lucas9000, yep of course
[06:00] <ski-worklap> mohlertm, what are you trying to play? a video file? an audio file? a network stream?
[06:00] <triplah_> make the change in the fstab line too
[06:00] <SilentDis> starz:  i didn't see anything odd in that dmesg output
[06:00] <starz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37870/ and thats the new one SilentDis
[06:00] <mohlertm> dilch: Yes, about 10 minutes in.  HOWEVER, it won't play any of my .avi files i have downloaded.
[06:00] <smoked1> nothing in factoids for rapidshare
[06:01] <CarCase928> how to i type in Chinese?
[06:01] <lucas9000> triplah: mount: mount point /storage2 does not exist
[06:01] <dilch> mohlertm, well you probably do need the codecs. Follow ski-worklap's worthy advice and use easyubuntu
[06:01] <starz> both partiitons came up clean. but i was noticeing spikes in cpu and hard spikes in the hdd. the hdd is brand new so i doubt that would be the culprit. any other hardware that could contribute to something like this ?
[06:01] <mohlertm> ski-worklap:  i am trying to play a reagular dvd on my dvd rom drive and tried to play a .avi file i downloaded.  Both failed in VLC.
[06:01] <triplah_> lucas9000, mkdir /storage2
[06:01] <starz> @ SilentDis sorry again sigh
[06:01] <dilch> mohlertm, personally i use ogle to play my dvds
[06:01] <ski-worklap> mohlertm, definitely give mplayer a spin - it supports just about any codec there is
[06:01] <starz> i have been running etch and im about to downgrade to dapper right now to see if i get the same thing.
[06:02] <SilentDis> starz:  hehe no worries...  what is exactly happening, just random crashes?
[06:02] <lucas9000> triplah: ok it looks like that worked
[06:02] <starz> i'll be doing whatever like running azureus or watching a vid and it will freeze up randomly
[06:03] <ski-worklap> starz, the whole computer or just the video app?
[06:03] <starz> its not been crashing but i'm starting to wonder if my cpu is about to die or something SilentDis
[06:03] <starz> ski-worklap: depends:
[06:03] <SilentDis> starz:  did you build the 'puter yourself?
[06:03] <ski-worklap> err, i think i got my people confused
[06:03] <Pelo> starz,  you hit the nail ,  az uses ungodly amounts  or memory
[06:03] <Pelo> of memory
[06:03] <mohlertm> ski-worklap:  when i righ click and open my .avi file with mplayer it gives me the following error.."Could not read from resource."
[06:03] <starz> i can move mouse around but anything else lags and programs stop. so the whole thing except for the mouse can be moved
[06:03] <lucas9000> triplah: so do i change that line in my fstab to "/dev/sdb1 /storage2     ext3    defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0       1"?
[06:04] <starz> Pelo: az doesnt need to be running for this to happen. i can be watching say the latest capeta from a-e which is no major strain on the system and it still does it.
[06:04] <triplah_> lucas9000, yeah that should do it for now :)
[06:04] <SilentDis> starz:  random crashes are REALLY hard to pin down.  are you running beryl/compiz?  age of the machine?
[06:04] <knapp> Anyone here know how I can add a codec to ffmpeg? For instance when I try to encode it says "Unknown codec aac"
[06:04] <lucas9000> triplah: one last thing...but my previous ext3 drive is just "/dev/sdc1 /storage ext3 defaults 0 0" in fstab...?
[06:04] <starz> not running beryl compiz: amd 3000+ gig ram nvidia fx5200 vid card soundblaster audigy 2 sound card
[06:04] <triplah_> lucas9000, then once that entry is in fstab it should mount when the computer starts. and you can type mount /storage2 to get it mount
[06:05] <starz> vid and sound card are both from 2002 and comp is about 1.5 yrs old.
[06:05] <CarCase928> is there a way to type in Chinese? i found the way to do it on Windows, but i would like to do it on Ubuntu, how do i do it?
[06:05] <triplah_> lucas9000, yeah thats fine too. the gid and stuff is just permissions.... you ca get rid of them if you like
[06:05] <orca> is anyone here about to help out with spdif output problems on an audigy 2?
[06:05] <triplah_> lucas9000, but leave them for now
[06:05] <lucas9000> triplah: tyvm
[06:05] <triplah_> nps :)
[06:05] <starz> i think the guy i got the mobo/cpu/ram from tried to overclock it mebbie? so this could be final instability before death?
[06:05] <lucas9000> triplah: have a good night
[06:05] <starz> ive watched cpu temps and stuff and it seems to be running like a champ and ive not got it overclocked at all
[06:05] <triplah_> Tue Dec 19 15:06:03 EST 2006
[06:06] <triplah_> :)
[06:06] <triplah_> you too lucas9000
[06:06] <starz> wel while we talk i'll install breezy ~_~
[06:06] <starz> is there a way to do a server install while on irssi? and if not is there irssi on the server install disk ?
[06:06] <carutsu> now that i've solved the flash problem, anybody of you have problems with SuperKaramba
[06:06] <starz> ive got the livecd running dapper atm
[06:06] <carutsu> it deletes what i downloaded and crashes a lot
[06:07] <SilentDis> starz: I'll give you my situation, so you can see where I'm coming from on this.  my machine is around 5 years old now (built it heavy when I built it) so it still does most of what I need, and still plays most modern games.  I've upgraded it over and over, but never changed out the psu.  it's got a 400w psu, that's been going for that whole time.  It's trying to power an AMD processor, 2 HDs, 2 CD drives, a modern vid card, and TONS of s
[06:07] <starz> and for the record running from the live cd i get like no cpu spikes or anything..
[06:07] <SilentDis> tuff in the PCI bus.  add in that i'm a smoker, so the PSU is probably in bad shape.  I've started getting random crashes, until now, it was 'bearable'.  At this point, it's nearly on it's deathbed.  I borrowed a friends 500w psu, and all my crashes went away.  it was the only bit I hadn't upgraded in that time lol
[06:07] <rixth> mdadm has said my RAID1 array has degraded. http://pastebin.ca/284643 << what /proc/mdstat says. What does that mean, and whatdo I do about it?
[06:08] <CarCase928> !Asian
[06:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about Asian - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:08] <starz> SilentDis: my ps is 500w and i have 2 hdd's and cdrom and dvd drive
[06:08] <starz> sound and vid card and thats about it. i should have plenty of power to spare but i'm with ya..
[06:08] <ski-worklap> rixth, probably buy a new hard drive
[06:08] <Pie-rate> how would I encrypt and password protect a directory?
[06:09] <Pie-rate> without using tar and mcrypt
[06:09] <starz> when a vid card is ready to die will it ever do hard power usage spikes SilentDis ?
[06:09] <SilentDis> starz:  I ended up buying a 680w PSU, just so I could cart it with me when I finally build a new box hehe
[06:09] <ski-worklap> or if you feel like living dangerously, rebuild onto the failing drive to get redundancy for a little bit longer
[06:09] <CarCase928> !wine
[06:09] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:09] <ski-worklap> but that's a bad idea for lots of reasons
[06:09] <rixth> ski-worklap, wouldn't it more likely be bad sectors?
[06:09] <zhugeL> how to check the temperature of cpu
[06:09] <rixth> ski-worklap, the drive is under warranty
[06:09] <starz> oooooooooo can i check hdd for bad sectors?
[06:09] <rixth> er, drives
[06:09] <ski-worklap> rixth, modern drives remap bad sectors
[06:09] <Pie-rate> is there a graphical utility to encrypt and password protect a directory?
[06:10] <ski-worklap> so if you've used all the drives spare sectors, it's on its way to failling
[06:10] <rixth> These are Western Digital drives, I'd doubt that they would fail after only 4 months?
[06:10] <ski-worklap> maybe 2 days, 2 months, 2 years
[06:10] <ski-worklap> the brand means nothing, as anyone who bought good ol; reliable ibm deathstars can tell you
[06:10] <SilentDis> starz:  the only way to truely 'diagnose' power problems is to get a pc repair kit that monitors such stuff.  I have seen them, but they're pricy, and it's just easier to swap stuff till you see the problem go away.  I'd almost recommend 'borrowing' a friends comperable vid card (either ATI or nvidia) and see what happens for an hour or 2.
[06:11] <Pie-rate> is there a graphical utility to encrypt and password protect a directory, and is there a way to get a menu option in nautilus to shred a file?
[06:11] <starz> sigh.

[06:11] <rixth> ski-worklap, how would I rebuild onto the 'bad' drive?
[06:12] <starz> and this comes at a time where i just got rear ended today. i was going to buy a new computer next month but now that looks unattainable for a while
[06:12] <ski-worklap> rixth, i'm not familiar with the details of md, although i've done it with hardware controllers and vinum on freebsd
[06:12] <rixth> I'll get WD's diagnostic checky thing. See what happens.
[06:12] <ski-worklap> trust me when i say, you really don't want to risk it
[06:12] <ski-worklap> those are dern near worthless
[06:12] <ski-worklap> see if you can access the SMART data
[06:12] <starz> well im going to boot from server install disk and if its got irssi i'll be back right away if not i got to get x-window-system gdm and gnome-core in first
[06:12] <SilentDis> starz:  I REALLY understand that one.  I'm trying to buy christmas gifts and I had no choice but to 'splurge' on myself just to maintain my livelihood at this point lol
[06:12] <rixth> I am going to get the drives under warranty, but most places have closed for Christmas now.
[06:12] <starz> SilentDis: heh yeah
[06:12] <orca> orca
[06:13] <starz> ok bbiab and thanx lots SilentDis
[06:13] <ski-worklap> rixth, don't rebuild onto a failed drive. forget i ever said that. run on one drive until after xmas
[06:13] <orca> woops :P
[06:13] <ski-worklap> err s/one/n-1/
[06:13] <starz> install should only take like what... 30 min max
[06:13] <starz> o yeah
[06:13] <SilentDis> starz:  for now, I limp along and reboot every hour or so :P
[06:13] <starz> damn
[06:13] <starz> that hurts
[06:13] <rixth> ski-worklap, do you know the command for getting the SMART data?
[06:13] <CarCase928> gimpshop
[06:13] <starz> btw i noticed that my computer doesnt use my swap at all
[06:14] <CarCase928> !gimpshop
[06:14] <ubotu> gimpshop is a hack that makes The Gimp look and feel more like Photoshop.  A .deb for Ubuntu is available via http://plasticbugs.com/?page_id=294
[06:14] <starz> can i just take out swap and say to heck with it?
[06:14] <SilentDis> starz:  that's normal.  I'm running 1.25gb, and it rarely swaps heh
[06:14] <starz> typically uses around 30MB :/ of 2 gigs
[06:14] <starz> yeah gig ram here
[06:14] <starz> any good reason to leave more than a half gig swap partition?
[06:14] <SilentDis> starz: no, don't do that... trust me, when you need it, and it's not there... it'll be BAD
[06:14] <starz> o.o
[06:14] <ski-worklap> rixth, this looks good - smart-notifier - graphical hard disk health status notifier
[06:14] <starz> right......
[06:14] <Pie-rate> is there a graphical utility to encrypt and password protect a directory, and is there a way to get a menu option in nautilus to shred a file?
[06:15] <rixth> This is a command line only machine
[06:15] <SilentDis> starz:  swap = 2.5 * Physical Ram is usually a good formula :)
[06:15] <curs0r> i'm using 7.5/4096
[06:15] <ski-worklap> SilentDis, not really, you can just add a swapfile
[06:15] <starz> lol
[06:15] <rixth> smartmontools looks good.
[06:15] <starz> the rule is 2xram to 1 gig and .5 of overages
[06:15] <starz> so 2 gigs is 1.5
[06:15] <starz> but i use rule of two anyway... 2.5 though????
[06:15] <starz> damn thats a lot.. why so much?
[06:15] <SilentDis> ski-worklap:  very true... but if you're in the middle of a deathmatch in Doom3 with your mp3's playing and it uses up.... lol
[06:15] <bulmer> swap is good perhaps if you know how to read dumps? but since very few do, ummm swap space is it really useful?
[06:15] <syte> I greatly appreciate it delich
[06:16] <keegan> anyone know how I can embed gxine into mozilla with mozplugger?
[06:16] <syte> dude...thx for spending 4 hours helping me
[06:16] <syte> :D
[06:16] <ski-worklap> rixth, smartmontools
[06:16] <ski-worklap> bulmer, umm, are you kidding?
[06:16] <rixth> 'Device does not support SMART' damn.
[06:16] <SilentDis> starz:  easy, disk space is cheap... well... rather cheap.  I think i've actually got a 5gb swap partition on this 'puter rofl
[06:16] <starz> o.o
[06:16] <Pie-rate> is there a graphical utility to encrypt and password protect a directory, and is there a way to get a menu option in nautilus to shred a file?
[06:16] <Arithmomaniac> Hello
[06:16] <SilentDis> starz:  between the 2 drives in it, I've got 400gb of storage space rofl
[06:16] <bulmer> ski-worklap: no, just my opinion.
