[10:21] <staykovmarin> hi, every time after i start my machine, about 10 mins after running, i am not sure why, it starts a process named "gzip" and it causes my cpu to go to 100%. i dont think i do anything i particular, it just seems to happen on its own. any ideas?
[10:21] <Joshooa> jscinoz: And my Sound Blaster Audigy doesn't seem to work right under Linux
 dont understand
[10:21] <jscinoz> are you using alsa or oss?
[10:21] <janerik> #kubuntu
[10:21] <NixPanther> maveric1, the default being the one that says 25,1,1,1?
[10:22] <maveric1> default         *               <IP_ADDRESS>         U     0      0        0 ppp0
[10:22] <ata4ix> #ubuntu is the best!
[10:22] <maveric1> NixPanther: this one
[10:22] <Joshooa> jscinoz: I've tried all different settings, mods, no mods, lowest graphics, highest graphics, lowest sound quality, ALSA, OSS, it's always the same
[10:22] <savvas> Joshooa: sudo modprobe snd-sb-common
[10:22] <Joshooa> jscinoz: Plus, today if I had AddOns on, it wouldn't load into the world
[10:23] <jscinoz> Jooshooa, if its possible... can you wipe your ~/.wine and recreate it by running winecfg, then reinstall wow, it might just need a clean install
[10:23] <Andycasss> beasty_: Nope, didnt work
[10:23] <Joshooa> savvas: It didn't do anything
[10:23] <savvas> Joshooa: then run: alsamix and press the Escape key
[10:23] <maveric1> NixPanther, cant i set the gateway only for the eth0 line in route
[10:23] <savvas> Joshooa: after that run a program to play an mp3 file (if you have one running, restart it)
[10:23] <Joshooa> savvas: What for?
[10:24] <savvas> Joshooa: maybe this will fix your sound blaster
[10:24] <Joshooa> jscinoz: But installing WoW again takes FOREVER
[10:24] <Joshooa> savvas: Well I followed up until Amarok wouldn't openm
[10:24] <jscinoz> joshooa, are you installing from the cd's?
[10:24] <Joshooa> savvas: And it works good and has surround sound, but in WoW only, it's all skippy
[10:24] <Joshooa> jscinoz: yes
[10:24] <savvas> Joshooa: ah dunno, sorry :)
[10:24] <jscinoz> Joshooa, copy the entire contents of the CD's to disc first
[10:24] <Joshooa> jscinoz: And then that last patch, 700MB
[10:25] <jscinoz> joshooa, make sure all the *.mpq's end up in the same folder
[10:25] <Joshooa> jscinoz: Yes, done it before, just a pain
[10:25] <jscinoz> joshooa, the patch should still be somewhere in your ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft
[10:25] <maverick1> NixPanther: can i set the gateway only for the eth0 line using the terminal....
[10:25] <Joshooa> jscinoz: I have it on my desktop
[10:25] <jscinoz> Joshooa, oh i thought you meant you'd have to redownload it
[10:25] <CppIsWeird> gordonjcp: i was mistaken on the drive i was thinking it was, it does not appear to have a mount entry, how do i list hard drives on my system?
[10:26] <Joshooa> jscinoz: When I install windows I would have to
[10:26] <NixPanther> maverick, I am not sure how to do it through the terminal.
[10:26] <Joshooa> jscinoz: I really don't want windows, but I'm sick of not being able to trust if WoW will work or not, or having my sound skip all the time
[10:26] <Joshooa> jscinoz: And I use Auctioneer, and whenever it scans something, WoW hangs for a few seconds, after the full scan, before it says it's done, it might hang for half a minute
[10:26] <jscinoz> Joshooa, I'd highyl recommend the clean wow install
[10:27] <Joshooa> jscinoz: But that's what I have now, I don't know how that'd help, but I guess it's worth a shot.
[10:27] <jscinoz> Joshooa, also, in config.wtf did you set GlxApi to OPenGL?
[10:27] <Joshooa> jscinoz: Since it might keep microsoft off my comptuer
[10:27] <jscinoz> joshooa, if you dont it defaults to directX which is much slower
[10:27] <Joshooa> jscinoz: Yes
[10:27] <jscinoz> hmm
[10:27] <NixPanther> maverick, but if your route is default it won't work. Make sure that the same settings in your modem settings are in Eth0 (the ones that apply ofc)
[10:27] <CppIsWeird> i plug in an external usb drive into my ubuntu gutsy computer and i get the following error message: mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /)  plugging the drive into my feisty computer it works fine.
[10:27] <Joshooa> jscinoz: OpenGL, did the soundbuffer to 150 thing, turned off full screen glow and death effects
[10:27] <gordonjcp> CppIsWeird: including unmounted ones?  I don't know, it's not something I've ever really done
[10:28] <gordonjcp> CppIsWeird: dmesg might hold a few clues
[10:28] <jscinoz> Joshooa, hmm it runs just fine for me with those effects...
[10:28] <Happosade> How to conf ssh to ready for use?
[10:28] <Joshooa> jscinoz: I know, that's why I can't figure out what's wrong, it SHOULD work great
[10:28] <Happosade> Whit what cmd
[10:28] <CppIsWeird> dmesg
[10:28] <CppIsWeird> crap. >_<
[10:28] <gordonjcp> maverick1: ah hang on, are you on dialup?
[10:28] <jscinoz> Joshooa, meh go for clean reinstall, make sure you sudo apt-get remove --purge wine also
[10:28] <Joshooa> jscinoz: I've read of people with much worse computers making it run better, I hate it.
[10:28] <bullgard4> English help wanted. man 2 stat writes: " stat() stats the file pointed to by path and fills in buf." Is this a typo and should read: " stat() states the file pointed to by path and fills in buf."? Or is there an English verb 'to stat'? What does it mean?
[10:28] <jscinoz> joshooa, before you wipe out ~/.wine and reinstall wine and wow :P
[10:29] <Happosade> How to conf ssh to ready for use?
[10:29] <Joshooa> jscinoz: K
[10:29] <maverick1> gordonjcp: PPPoE connection....
[10:29] <Joshooa> jscinoz: What's that do?
[10:29] <gordonjcp> maverick1: ah
[10:29] <NixPanther> gordonjcp, He is on ADSL, modem >his desktop. He is trying to use a LAN to give inthernet and networking to other PC's
[10:29] <carbanm> anyone know of a good way to set up a background picture slideshow?
[10:29] <jscinoz> Joshooa :) the command uninstalls wine and removes all configuration
[10:29] <Joshooa> jscinoz: And, if I save that one huge patch, will I still need all the little ones?
[10:29] <gordonjcp> maverick1: aha, then you don't want to set the route on that PC
[10:29] <maverick1> gordonjcp: i require a username and password...but its not dialup
[10:29] <jscinoz> Joshooa, you'll need to reinstall wine with "sudo apt-get install wine"
[10:29] <Andycasss> Why isnt there a "directoryindex" in apache2.conf???
[10:30] <gordonjcp> maverick1: you want to set up forwarding on that PC, and set the route on the others
[10:30]  * NixPanther thought he was working on the other PC ><
[10:30] <jscinoz> Joshooa, you may need some intermediate ones, i started from 1.0 cd's, i needed 1.10 1.40 2.0 and 2.30
[10:30] <Andycasss> Although, the server seems to know to index "index.html" but not "index.htm"
[10:30] <gordonjcp> maverick1: or alternatively, get a crappy low-end pentium and throw a firewall distro on it
[10:30] <patrice> y a t'il des français ici?
[10:30] <maverick1> gordonjcp: i want ubuntu to use the gateway for only the local 10.xx.xx.xx addresses and not for the ppp0 ones
[10:30] <gordonjcp> maverick1: something like monowall or smoothwall
[10:30] <gordonjcp> maverick1: wait, what?
[10:30] <carbanm> anyone know of a good way to set up a background picture slideshow?
[10:30] <gordonjcp> maverick1: What exactly are you trying to do?
[10:31] <maverick1> gordonjcp: it had worked fine when i had put my static ip as gateway
[10:31] <maverick1> gordonjcp: that was a long time ago....
[10:31] <NixPanther> maverick, Thats how it usually works...
[10:31] <Joshooa> jscinoz: So after the purge, I will still need to delete the folder? Should I worry about saving any wow settings or anything or just redo all my addons and such?
[10:32] <maverick1> NixPanther, it was my own IP
[10:32] <Joshooa> jscinoz: And, should I bother uninstalling wow, or uninstalling Wine will do that for me?
[10:32] <maverick1> NixPanther, but now i am unable to set the gateway
[10:32] <jscinoz> Joshooa you will lose all wine and wow configuration, but that is intended, we need to have everything default
[10:32] <NixPanther> maverick,  yes... thats how its supposed to be...
[10:32] <jscinoz> joshooa, i'd go with uninstalling and reinstalling wow, just to be sure
[10:32] <Joshooa> jscinoz: Man I hate having to edit my Config.wtf file.
[10:32] <jscinoz> joshooa, although if it work's you'll only need to do it once.
[10:32] <Joshooa> jscinoz: Anything to not have Windows though right?
[10:33] <nivis> why would i get a forbidden message in apache, when it's not forbidden?
[10:33] <jscinoz> Joshooa, before you do all the things i say, try removing all the changes you made to config.wtf
[10:33] <jscinoz> joshooa except the openGL one
[10:33] <NixPanther> maverick,  if he internet is on your pc via a modem the default gateway would be your own IP
[10:33] <Joshooa> jscinoz: Well if this doesn't, I'm formatting Linux, reinstalling Windows, WoW, and Ubuntu 7.10
[10:33] <jscinoz> joshooa just in case :P
[10:33] <jscinoz> joshooa :(
[10:33] <Joshooa> jscinoz: Do  you have WoW under 7.10 working?
[10:33] <Joshooa> jscinoz: I couldn't, I had to revert to 7.04
[10:33] <jscinoz> Yes perfectly with Max settings and all effects turned on
[10:33] <ata4ix> how to set chmod in xxxx format for rwxr-xr-x and rw-r--r-- ?
[10:33] <ata4ix> not xxx
[10:34] <jscinoz> and with compiz running at the same time :D
[10:34] <ata4ix> 0133 0022?
[10:34] <Joshooa> jscinoz: Under 7.10, it says I don't have Direct rendering
[10:34] <CppIsWeird> gordonjcp: ive identified what device it is, and ive tried to mount it, however i get that i dont have permissions to see it, when i chmod 777 it, i get "chmod: changing permissions of `drive location`: read-only file system
[10:34] <maverick1> gordonjcp: in windows i only set my IP for my LAN card, and i automatically get a dynamic IP for the internet, I set no gateway in windows...
[10:34] <Joshooa> jscinoz: But boot to 7.04, and I do
[10:34] <jscinoz> Joshooa, hmm they recently fixed the nvidia driver packages so you should now
[10:34] <blackfox> how can install new effact ubuntu like fire ??
[10:34] <Joshooa> jscinoz: So now I have 2 versions of 7.04 and 1 of 7.10, and I hate that boot screen
[10:34] <jscinoz> Joshooa, you should be able to use nvidia-glx-new from in synaptic under 7.10
[10:34] <maverick1> gordonjcp: i am able to use both the internet and LAN simultaneously
[10:35] <Joshooa> jscinoz: How long ago was this?
[10:35] <gordonjcp> CppIsWeird: if it's ntfs, it might be mounted read-only
[10:35] <jscinoz> Joshooa, Gutsy Tribe 6 beta :P
[10:35] <CppIsWeird> fine, but i still cant see anything in it
[10:35] <jscinoz> Joshooa nvidia-glx-new version 100.14.11 onwards work
[10:35] <gordonjcp> maverick1: I don't understand what you're trying to do
[10:35] <Joshooa> jscinoz: Just a little bit ago I did sudo apt-get install nvidia and tabbed to see what there was and didn't see it
[10:35] <jscinoz> joshooa, try synaptic, its a graphical frontend for apt-get
[10:36] <maverick1> gordonjcp: i want to set a default gateway for eth0...thats it...but i cannot do it using interfaces/GUI....
[10:36] <jscinoz> Joshooa, try nvidia-glx-new first, and if it doesnt work (your GPU may be too old) then use nvidia-glx
[10:36] <Joshooa> jscinoz: Either way, even if I do get this to work, I want to reformat and ONLY have ubuntu 7.10, but I can't even boot into that without it messing up on me
[10:36] <jscinoz> Define messing up
[10:36] <Joshooa> jscinoz: But it's a 7600GS, it's not old
[10:36]  * NixPanther nips to get a drink
[10:37] <jscinoz> Joshooa i know, but i cant remember if nvidia-glx-new was 8 series only or 7 and 8
[10:37] <gordonjcp> maverick: you've already got a default gateway
[10:37] <Andycasss> Why isnt there a "directoryindex" in apache2.conf??? Although, the server seems to know to index "index.html" but not "index.htm"
[10:37] <Joshooa> jscinoz: Oh
[10:38] <maverick> <IP_ADDRESS>        *               <IP_ADDRESS>       U     0      0        0 eth0
[10:38] <Joshooa> jscinoz: I wonder how if I could get it working under 7.10, I don't like running 7.04 anymore
[10:38] <blackfox> how can i gat effacts fire at ubuntu ??
[10:38] <maverick> gordonjcp: :(...the * is default gateway
[10:38] <pawan> how to use bluetooth
[10:38] <Joshooa> jscinoz: I also don't like not having Pidgin
[10:38] <brobostigon> hi
[10:38] <jscinoz> Joshooa, i can't think of any reason why 7.10 wont work, for me graphical perfromance is much better
[10:39] <jscinoz> Joshooa, pidgin works just fine in 7.10
[10:39] <Joshooa> jscinoz: I know, but it's not in 7.04, I'm on Gaim
[10:39] <jscinoz> oh
[10:39] <jscinoz> give 7.10 a try again :)
[10:39] <Joshooa> jscinoz: 7.10 used to work, but now I boot up and it's on 800x600 and looks all crappy, and I can't change it
[10:39] <gordonjcp> maverick: do you know how a default gateway works?
[10:39] <Slart> Andycasss: "know to index index.html" ??? you have some kind of local search going?
[10:39] <jscinoz> Joshooa thats because you installed the driver wrong and it starts in failsafe mode
[10:39] <Joshooa> jscinoz: I never installed a driver
[10:40] <pawan> how to use bluetooth
[10:40] <jscinoz> joshooa, boot up 7.10 and get to console, run "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new"
[10:40] <CppIsWeird> i plug in an external usb drive into my ubuntu gutsy computer and i get the following error message: mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /)  plugging the drive into my feisty computer it works fine.
[10:40] <maverick> gordonjcp: a bit...
[10:40] <jscinoz> joshooa, and hopefully its all good
[10:40] <Joshooa> jscinoz: That's what I am going to try now
[10:40] <Joshooa> jscinoz: And, anyway I am th inking of trying to find my 7.10 DVD or burn a CD of it, and redo my computer with just that and hope for the best
[10:40] <jscinoz> Joshooa get back to me if it works or not, if i'm not on irc my email is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:40] <jscinoz> Joshooa, yeah everything clean installed would be best
[10:40] <Joshooa> jscinoz: That's what i want
[10:41] <Joshooa> jscinoz: I just want to do Windows first, so that if 7.10 wont do WoW, I can go to that
[10:41] <Joshooa> jscinoz: Cause I can't go without my wow
[10:41] <Joshooa> jscinoz: I did that for about 3 weeks when 7.10 came out before I had enough and reinstalled 7.04 as a dual boot, but since I play WoW, i never used 7.10
[10:41] <Andycasss> Slart:  sorry?
[10:41] <pawan> how to use bluetooth
[10:42] <beasty_> anyone inhere is using ccreds ?

[10:42] <Andycasss> Slart: Im just trying to make index.htm work as an index... Right now it just lists the files when i access the web
[10:42] <Slart> Andycasss: you talk about indexing "index.html" but not "index.htm"..
[10:42] <jscinoz> Joshooa, good luck, email me on<EMAIL_ADDRESS>if you need more help and im not here
[10:43] <Slart> Andycasss: ahh.. you want to set which page is shows when you don't specify one?
[10:43] <gordonjcp> maverick: it handles what happens if you don't know where a packet is destined for
[10:43] <Andycasss> Slart: YEs
[10:43] <gordonjcp> maverick: why are you trying to set two default routes?
[10:43] <Slart> Andycasss: so when you go to www.myhost.com/Andy/ it shows you www.myhost.com/Andy/index.html
[10:44] <Slart> Andycasss: that's a setting somewhere in the apache configuration...hang on.. I'll see if I can find it
[10:44] <Andycasss> I want it to show www.myhost.com/Andy/index.htm (not html)
[10:44] <Andycasss> html works fine

[10:44] <NixPanther> Hi GMW
[10:44] <GMW> how are u today?
[10:44] <Slart> Andycasss: the index.htm is just a legacy from windows inability to have more than 3 characters after the dot... sure you want to limit yourself to that?
[10:45] <Andycasss> I want both htm and html work
[10:45] <Andycasss> Slart: I didnt have the "directoryindex" value in my apache2.conf, thats the thing, i tried applying the value myself, but it still didnt work...

[10:46] <Andycasss> Slart: No... I want this page to work with htm index file: http://andycas.pri.ee/files/
[10:46] <Andycasss> Currently it lists the files
[10:46] <GMW> my ssh get ready .. ummmmmmm
[10:46] <Slart> Andycasss: can't you just change the name of the index file? or you have lots of them?

[10:54] <gordonjcp> maverick: just forget the whole lot for a minute
[10:54] <Rautamiekka> Slart, I actually removed entire .Trash from ~ lol
[10:54] <maverick> gordonjcp: sure
[10:54] <savi0r666> any ideas on the composite extentions?
[10:54] <gordonjcp> maverick: what exactly are you trying to get to happen here?
[10:54] <gordonjcp> maverick: are you trying to share your connection?
[10:54] <jscinoz> GMW, if you're interested i actually made a deb of ET 2.60b with an alsa patch built in.
[10:54] <gordonjcp> excuse me, phone
[10:54] <Slart> Rautamiekka: try deleting somethnig.. it might recreate it for you
[10:54] <maverick> gordonjcp: i am trying to get my LAN as well as my internet working at the same time, as it does in windows
[10:54] <savi0r666> any idea?
[10:55] <GMW> sure jscinoz
[10:55] <Rautamiekka> Slart, Thank you, all is now fine with it :)
[10:55] <GMW> i dont know ear to ear transfor lol
[10:55] <Slart> savi0r666: composite should be enabled for compiz to work.. are you using nvidia or ati?
[10:55] <Slart> Rautamiekka: nice =)
[10:55] <jscinoz> GMW, give me a minute i'll make a torrent of it
[10:55] <savi0r666> ati readeon
[10:56] <savi0r666> and i can run 3d games no problem
[10:56] <CppIsWeird> i plug in an external usb drive into my ubuntu gutsy computer and i get the following error message: mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /)  plugging the drive into my feisty computer it works fine. When i try to mount the device manually, it complains that i dont have permission to see it and when i try to chmod or chown it.
[10:56] <aan> huh
[10:56] <Slart> savi0r666: can't help you then.. don't know much about the ati drivers
[10:56] <GMW> oh god u've gonna make a pure server?
[10:56] <Slart> !ati | savi0r666
[10:56] <ubotu> savi0r666: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:56] <Slart> perhaps there is something there
[10:56] <GMW> oh my jesus u doesn't
[10:56] <savi0r666> there already installed
[10:56] <jscinoz> GMW, you know how to use DHT for bitorrrent right?
[10:56] <NixPanther> gordonjcp, As far as I can see he is trying to share his internet connection with his home network. He has an ADSL modem plugged into his desktop and wants to share it via LAN (I hope that helps)
[10:56] <savi0r666> they are already installed
[10:57] <jscinoz> GMW, hang on i'll add it to torrentbox
[10:57] <GMW> sorry i dont know about torrentbox
[10:58] <rindolf> Hi all!
[10:58] <Slart> NixPanther: I'm not sure that is what he wants.. at least that wasn't the goal yesterday... the goal was to get a program run under wine to use his LAN connection instead of the ppp connection.. the program is a LAN messenger thingy.. LAN chat kind of program
[10:58] <jscinoz> GMW, its a tracker,
[10:58] <jscinoz> gmw, you know how to use bittorrent right?
[10:58] <GMW> umm
[10:58] <GMW> sorry i cant
[10:58] <jscinoz> ahh screwit ill put it on rapidshare or soemthing
[10:58] <rindolf> Just for the record - how do I edit mount points GUI-ically (i.e: not by editing /etc/fstab) in Ubuntu 7.10?
[10:58] <GMW> i known only use dhcp server
[10:59] <NixPanther> Slart, Oh my.
[10:59] <Slart> rindolf: I'm not sure you can.. there is one utility for setting permissions and stuff.. disk mount management or something
[10:59] <jscinoz> rindolf, afaik you dont
[10:59] <CppIsWeird> i plug in an external usb drive into my ubuntu gutsy computer and i get the following error message: mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /)  plugging the drive into my feisty computer it works fine. When i try to mount the device manually, it complains that i dont have permission to see it and when i try to chmod or chown it.
[10:59] <maverick> Slart: I understand now that, if I put a gateway, it starts working....
[10:59] <ere4si> CppIsWierd: did you format the drive at all?
[11:00] <CppIsWeird> no, ive used it for months with absolutely no filesystem, hell yeah!
[11:00] <GMW> my powerful router ubun2 linux it's almost filltering stranged packet
[11:00] <maverick> Slart: but my internet dosent, if i put a gateway
[11:00] <GMW> i love it
[11:00] <NixPanther> maverick, ok see... now we're getting a fuller picture of what you need...
[11:00] <rindolf> jscinoz: hmmm...
[11:00] <CppIsWeird> not to mention feisty is soo awesome, it doesnt even require the drive to have a fs to use it
[11:00] <CppIsWeird> stupid gutsy.
[11:00] <GMW> XGL ... it my wishs
[11:00] <Slart> maverick: I tried yesterday.. I still don't understand why IPmessenger choses the ppp-connection over the eth connection.. it just doesn't make sense in my little world..
[11:00] <GMW> XGL when im use that XGL
[11:00] <jscinoz> GMW, have you got an email, it'll take an hour or two to upload, i'll have yousendit email you the link when its done
[11:01] <maverick> Slart: it shows me my local ip when i put a gateway today....
[11:01] <ere4si> CppIsWeird: they come with fat16 on I thought?
[11:01] <GMW> i have a ftp ..
[11:01] <GMW> do u have a ftp server?
[11:01] <Slart> maverick: yes.. I guess when you put eth as default gateway it can't use the internet.. so it has to use the eth connection.. but it should be able to do that anyway.
[11:02] <GMW> if u got the ftp server ill connect ur server
[11:02] <jscinoz> GMW, yeah hang on
[11:02] <CppIsWeird> im pretty sure its fat32 they come with, and yes it is using vfat
[11:02] <GMW> oh ya ill wait it some ..
[11:02] <NixPanther> Slart, some of the newer ones often do >< Oh for the simple days of net send
[11:02] <GMW> 41% complty .. umm common ET
[11:02] <jscinoz> GMW infact i might already have it on my webserver...
[11:03] <Slart> NixPanther: net send.. or even ipxsend .. those were the days.. *sigh*
[11:03] <gordonjcp> maverick: are you trying to share your internet connection with other PCs on your LAN?
[11:03] <Ernst> how do i get verbose feedback of nm-applet
[11:03] <maverick> gordonjcp: NO!
[11:03] <GMW> can u tell me more?
[11:03] <toresn> hi, after last reboot all the directories and files in my home location appeared on my desktop
[11:03] <GMW> ill test for u
[11:03] <gordonjcp> maverick: ok, what *are* you trying to do?
[11:03] <froglet> i'm using ubuntu gutsy, with cups and an hp color laserjet 2605dtn. I want the printer to choose the paper source automatically, but it looks like I have to specify a particular tray, which is not what i'm used to (i didn't have to in feisty, iirc). can i get automatic paper tray selection?
[11:03] <Slart> Ernst: try running it in a terminal.. perhaps there are some switches to add.. -v is a common one
[11:03] <NixPanther> Slart, Even winpopup was nice compared to whats available now ><
[11:03] <toresn> how can i remove them, without removing the actual files?
[11:04] <maverick> gordonjcp: OK, Ill give you a clear picture
[11:04] <toresn> hi, after last reboot all the directories and files in my home location appeared on my desktop
[11:04] <toresn> how can i remove them, without removing the actual files?
[11:04] <NixPanther> Why do I always imagine a glass of water when someone says that?
[11:04] <GMW> need website? plz install APM that's so difficultly to me
[11:04] <CppIsWeird> i plug in an external usb drive into my ubuntu gutsy computer and i get the following error message: mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /)  plugging the drive into my feisty computer it works fine. I've used this drive between the computers and others for months. When i try to mount the device manually, it complains that i dont have permission to see it and when i try to chmod
[11:05] <Slart> toresn: I've had this happen too.. something about gnome not realising that the Desktop files should be in ~/Desktop not in ~/
[11:05] <GMW> 54% done how much more wait ..
[11:05] <maverick> gordonjcp: Ubuntu uses my ppp0 IP address for all my LAN applications, so they get screwed and i cannot use them properly. i want it to use the eth0 address for LAN
[11:05] <jscinoz> GMW its uploading going to take about an hour
[11:05] <jscinoz> GMW, i'd recommened waiting for it, as it eases installation by being a debian pacakge
[11:05] <jscinoz> GMW, just double click it and its installed :D
[11:05] <gordonjcp> maverick: have you set an IP address for etho0?
[11:05] <gordonjcp> eth0, even
[11:05] <GMW> oh my god
[11:06] <GMW> what's gonna do man?
[11:06] <maverick> gordonjcp: yes i have
[11:06] <GMW> oh my god ..
[11:06] <Rautamiekka> toresn: install ubuntutweak, with it you can set Desktop files to be in ~/Desktop
[11:06] <GMW> my hard dick is only1
[11:06] <GMW> i dont have a hdb
[11:06] <GMW> i have a hda
[11:06] <CppIsWeird> GMW, keep it G rated homie.
[11:06] <gordonjcp> maverick: and what exactly isn't working?
[11:07] <jscinoz> >_<
[11:07] <jscinoz> so very wrong.
[11:07] <maverick> gordonjcp: check this out, http://www.file-post.com/view_image.php?id=570
[11:07]  * NixPanther spits coffee at the screen and chokes
[11:07] <NixPanther> I should hope it is only 1
[11:07] <CppIsWeird> we shold hope you only have one... more would just be weird.
[11:07]  * Slart has the same problem as GMW.. only got one.. ;)
[11:07] <maverick> gordonjcp: it took a long while to load these...
[11:08] <GMW> what are u talking about homie?
[11:08] <CppIsWeird> GMW: my hard dick is only1
[11:08] <gordonjcp> maverick: <shrug>
[11:08] <Slart> GMW: take a look at what you wrote
[11:08] <NixPanther> Slart, I would call that natural, I'd call it a problem if there were more
[11:08] <CppIsWeird> GMW: my hard >>>dick<<< is only1
[11:08] <GMW> oh yeah my words so wrong
[11:08] <Slart> NixPanther: =)
[11:08] <Rautamiekka> LOL CppIsWeird
[11:08] <maverick> gordonjcp: so, i want it to use the eth0 IP...
[11:09] <GMW> so u guys first stringer?
[11:09] <toresn> Rautamiekka: ok, can i install it with the synaptic package manager?
[11:09] <[cd]> anyone know the name of the program that ubuntu uses to make it boot fast?
[11:09] <Rautamiekka> toresn, type SUDO APTITUDE INSTALL UBUNTUTWEAK to Terminal (noncapital)
[11:09] <GMW> oh look out my tux is sleeping now Wow
[11:10] <ikonia> [cd]: do you mean init ?
[11:10] <CppIsWeird> i plug in an external usb drive into my ubuntu gutsy computer and i get the following error message: mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /)  plugging the drive into my feisty computer it works fine. When i try to mount the device manually, it complains that i dont have permission to see it and when i try to chmod or chown it.
[11:10] <GMW> get up tux u gonna work job now
[11:10] <[cd]> yeah , i know ubuntu using its own alternative what its callled?
[11:10] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: what is the label on th disk
[11:10] <CppIsWeird> ...
[11:10] <NixPanther> Do you guys have a chat channel too? Or do you just hang out in here helping out the soon to be jedi of the Linux world?
[11:10] <CppIsWeird> sabel?
[11:10] <CppIsWeird> * label?
[11:10] <ikonia> [cd]: its not its own alternative, its called upstart and is publicly available
[11:10] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: yes the drive "name"
[11:11] <[cd]> i know its opensource thats why i was looking for its name ;)
[11:11] <GMW> tux step by step when were hard to hard job
[11:11] <CppIsWeird> ikonia, i have no idea, what is the pertinence?
[11:11] <movela> hello fellow nixers, need help w/DEVEDE?
[11:11] <ikonia> CppIsWeird the pertienence is the name of the disk is normally used as the mount point, hence the question on "special" characters
[11:11] <ikonia> !offtopic >GMW
[11:11] <ikonia> movela ask the question
[11:12] <GMW> yes? ikonia
[11:12] <ikonia> GMW read the message from ubotu
[11:12] <GMW> where is it message?
[11:13] <Slart> movela: help with DEVEDE? as in DVD?
[11:13] <ikonia> GMW look for a private message from the user "ubotu"
[11:13] <GMW> i look up that
[11:13]  * NixPanther should probably get round to asking her question
[11:14] <GMW> are u this chnnel head master? ikonia
[11:14] <toresn> Rautamiekka: hmm, it says it couldn't find the package... but surely there must be an easier way to do this?  it has been the way should be up until now
[11:14] <ahagen> question : when connecting a fakesink (with sync) to my decodebin I am unable to query the pipeline for duration/position. How am I supposed to handle this?
[11:14] <toresn> +it
[11:14] <ikonia> GMW not at all no
[11:14] <ahagen> Needless to say it works fine for real audio sinks
[11:14] <GMW> excuse me sir?
[11:15] <ahagen> argh, wrong channel
[11:15] <Rautamiekka> toresn, Sorry my mistake, the package is ubuntu-tweak with a line between the ubuntu and tweak :)
[11:15] <ikonia> GMW no, I'm not the head master
[11:15] <NixPanther> hehe ahagen
[11:15] <Slart> !info ubuntu-tweak
[11:15] <ubotu> Package ubuntu-tweak does not exist in gutsy
[11:15] <GMW> we know u must gonnabe head master
[11:15] <Rautamiekka> Ah crap
[11:15] <GMW> u get hide something
[11:15] <Rautamiekka> What the
[11:15] <ikonia> !offtopic | GMW
[11:15] <ubotu> GMW: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[11:15] <timob> anyone tried enlightenment, or any other WMs lately .... any recomendations?
[11:15] <movela> thanks ikonia: well, does it matter on the advaced settings if i choose interlace, FFMPEG deinterlacing, linear blend, etc. for my DVD to be playable on a DVD player
[11:15] <Rautamiekka> How ubotu can say it doesn't exist when I've installed it
[11:16] <toresn> Rautamiekka: Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "ubuntu-tweak"
[11:16] <Rautamiekka> grrrr
[11:16] <ikonia> timob stick with the ubuntu supported versions unless you have a real desire to change
[11:16] <timob> i do
[11:16] <CppIsWeird> ikonia: i have no idea what the label is, but feisty functions with the drive just fine, and the gutsy box has worked with the drive for months without ever a problem.
[11:16] <Rautamiekka> toresn, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-tweak-ubuntu.html
[11:16] <ikonia> timob go for it then, trial and error is the only method
[11:16] <ikonia> CppIsWeird ahh so this has worked with gutsy before
[11:17] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: thats a good start, can you please show me the error message again
[11:17] <hyput>  /server irc.ii.net
[11:17] <hyput>  /server irc.ii.net
[11:17] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: I assume you/nothing has changed the disk label
[11:17] <maverick> gordonjcp, NixPanther, Slart, thanks a lot for your help :)...will be going now
[11:17] <GMW> wellcome to area well come well come to the area
[11:17] <Slart> maverick: you're welcome.. good luck
[11:17] <CppIsWeird> not that im aware of

[11:17] <ubotu> GMW: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[11:17] <maverick> you too
[11:18] <ikonia> CppIsWeird what file system is on the disk ?
[11:18] <CppIsWeird> ntfs
[11:18] <GMW> ikonia what's wrong with u?
[11:18] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: ok, so I assume your mounting it with ntfs-3g not the ntfs driver
[11:18] <CppIsWeird> no idea
[11:18] <ikonia> GMW: nothing, please keep the offtopic chatter out of this channel
[11:18] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: ok, I think I have a clue on the problem
[11:18] <GMW> umm okay
[11:18] <CppIsWeird> good. :) thats what i want to hear
[11:19] <ikonia> CppIsWeird I "assume" what is happening is one of a few things which we should be able to narrorw down.
[11:19] <ikonia> CppIsWeird few questions first. 1.) Where did the drive used to get mounted in gutsy
[11:19] <CppIsWeird> /mdeia/disk
[11:19] <CppIsWeird> *media
[11:20] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: ok, cracking so thats a straight forward name
[11:20] <froglet> how can I get alt-shift-tab to do the "right thing" (reverse alt-tab window switching) with compiz under gnome? ccsm won't change that shortcut
[11:20] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: is it mounted now ?
[11:20] <CppIsWeird> its not, its in my feisty computer
[11:21] <GMW> feisty ... what is that?
[11:21] <ikonia> CppIsWeird ok, do you have time to mount it now with me ?
[11:21] <CppIsWeird> sure
[11:21] <Rautamiekka> GMW, a Ubuntu release
[11:21] <ikonia> GMW: a slightly older release of ubuntu, 7.04
[11:21] <Niculittu> good morning everyone
[11:21] <GMW> that's utilty
[11:21] <GMW> oh sounds good thxs
[11:21] <CppIsWeird> er
[11:21] <CppIsWeird> i should use versions then i think i got the names mixed up
[11:21] <CppIsWeird> 7.10 is feisty?
[11:21] <Rautamiekka> 7.10 Is Gutsy
[11:21] <Slart> 7.10 is gutsy
[11:21] <CppIsWeird> right
[11:22] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: no 7.04 is fesity
[11:22] <Slart> !feisty
[11:22] <GMW> that's really good
[11:22] <ubotu> Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu.  Upgrading to Fesity: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades - Downloading: http://us.releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/
[11:22] <GMW> im on the 7.10 gutsy
[11:22] <Niculittu> i need a tool to launch program like as MacOs...does exist in linux?
[11:22] <CppIsWeird> well then the feisty box is being bad and the gutsy box is being good
[11:22] <CppIsWeird> that change your course of action?
[11:22] <Slart> Niculittu: you mean like the thing with icons at the bottom of the screen?
[11:22] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: being bad and good ?
[11:23] <CppIsWeird> not working/working with the drive
[11:23] <GMW> my case i have a twice installed to ubun2 7.10 server
[11:23] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: you just told me fesity worked
[11:23] <GMW> but didnt lookup x-server
[11:24] <eth01> how would i change foofoo.conf into foofoofoo.conf?
[11:24] <GMW> wow remove at all just reinstall
[11:24] <ikonia> first bit of live in here
[11:24] <CppIsWeird> and i just said i got them mixed up
[11:24] <ikonia> eth01: mv foofoo.conf foofoofoo.conf
[11:24] <eth01> ikonia: thank you very much.
[11:24] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: the problem is probably then fesity not using the ntfs-3g driver
[11:24] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: most probably as fesity didn't ship with it
[11:25] <GMW> i guess so difficult for me setting ip masq ..
[11:25] <toresn> hmm
[11:25] <Niculittu> slart: yes...
[11:25] <CppIsWeird> how is that a problem? i mean, drive worked in this computer for months, then all the sudden i need to upgrade to the newest ntfs driver? False.
[11:25] <GMW> okay homie ip masq that's my problem
[11:25] <toresn> Rautamiekka: i installed it, but it didn't help much
[11:25] <Slart> Niculittu: I don't think there's anything that is easy to install.. there is the kxdocker or gdesktlets... or kooldock .. or Kiba dock..I think they all require you to compile it yourself
[11:25] <Rautamiekka> toresn You can't find the option there ?
[11:25] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: updates happen
[11:25] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: at a guess/assumption
[11:26] <jaym> what file needs to be edited for ndiswrapper to be inserted at the end of a bootup?
[11:26] <Rautamiekka> toresn, It's under Desktop in lefthand list and untick Use Home Directory as Desktop
[11:26] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: the non-autmount is an unusual issue which will take time to debug, the chown issue is more likley down to it either being mounted read only or without the ntfs-3g driver
[11:26] <Rautamiekka> Desktop-Desktop Icon Settings*
[11:26] <Niculittu> allright...i won't install it...
[11:26] <Slart> CppIsWeird: I think ntfs4g became the default ntfs driver in 7.10.. before that you had something else.. with only read support..
[11:26] <GMW> does any1 tell me ver very useful for ubun2 tip?
[11:26] <ikonia> GMW: ask specific questions
[11:27] <ikonia> Slart: are you being serious ?
[11:27] <CppIsWeird> how do i determine which one the computer is using? im pretty sure ive written things to the drive in the past on that computer
[11:27] <Slart> yes.. am I wrong?
[11:27] <ikonia> Slart I thought fesity didn't ship with 3g but had a repo available but gutsy shipped wtih 3g
[11:28] <Slart> ikonia: I didn't get ntfs3g installed until I upgraded to gutsy.. before that I had only read support..
[11:28] <GMW> okay homie how to make a public dns server?
[11:28] <CppIsWeird> look, ive got school in one more hour, i need the drive to function, already spent 2 hours in here, how complex can this issue be? worked last night, not tonight, what could have gone wrong from potentially two causes, either me shutting down the computer improperly, or just pulling out the USB cable without unmounting it.
[11:28] <GMW> my case is shared ip forwarding KT company
[11:28] <ikonia> Slart yes thats correct
[11:28] <Slart> ikonia: that was what I meant..
[11:29] <ikonia> GMW: running a public dns service is a long and professional task to setup
[11:29] <ikonia> Slart: just checking as NTFS4g had me thrown. NTFS3g is the "read/write" driver
[11:29] <GMW> u know it head master

[11:29] <CppIsWeird> attitude?
[11:29] <ikonia> Slart: just checking
[11:29] <simo> hiiii
[11:30] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: "look I need this working" don't take that approach, this is a public support channel
[11:30] <toresn> Rautamiekka: i found it, but nothing's happening... hold on, i'll put up a screenshot
[11:30] <Rautamiekka> toresn, Ok
[11:31] <CppIsWeird> i plug in an external usb drive into my ubuntu gutsy computer and i get the following error message: mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /)  plugging the drive into my feisty computer it works fine. When i try to mount the device manually, it complains that i dont have permission to see it and when i try to chmod or chown it.
[11:31] <toresn> Rautamiekka: http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/6048/screenshotxe1.png
[11:31] <ikonia> CppIsWeird is it mounted in fesity at all at the moment ?
[11:32] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: also please alter your question. Your question STILL says "it works fine in fesity" which you've told me it doesn't you told me you had it back to front and it worked in gutsy not fesity
[11:32] <Rautamiekka> toresn, Is the option ticked ?
[11:33] <Rautamiekka> toresn, I mean, tick it, hit OK and Quit, reboot, tick it either off or on, hit OK and Quit and reboot
[11:33] <blackfox> how to gat beryl ?
[11:33] <toresn> Rautamiekka: the options for 'show desktop icons' and 'show mounted volumes on desktop' is ticked
[11:33] <ikonia> blackfox beryl is dead. Compiz-fusion is the new version and its already shipped with gutsy
[11:33] <lapisdecor> i need to use postfix or sendmail to send php emails because moodle needs it, but my mail server is on another computer, should i installpostfix, or is there a way to confgure php to send mails using an external MX record ?
[11:33] <blackfox> ooo
[11:33] <ikonia> 11:32 < lapisdecor> i need to use postfix or sendmail to send php emails
[11:33] <ikonia> oops
[11:33] <ikonia> sorry
[11:33] <toresn> Rautamiekka: these were the settings the first time i started 'ubuntu-tweaks'
[11:33] <gaoyang> hat?
[11:33] <J-_> what's a good capture program?
[11:34] <ikonia> lapisdecor you have many ways of doing it, use a local sendmail/postfix/$mail to relay to your external server, or just set the "mail server" option in the php code
[11:34] <ikonia> lapisdecor: its nothing to do with an MX record, so don't get it confused
[11:34] <toresn> Rautamiekka: the settings looks correct in ubuntu-tweak, but not on the actual desktop... if you know what i mean?
[11:34] <Rautamiekka> toresn Yes I do
[11:34] <blackfox> how to gat Compiz-fusion?
[11:35] <ikonia> blackfox: its already installed in ubuntu 7.10, are you using 7.10/gutsy gibbon?
[11:35] <Rautamiekka> toresn,  tick it, hit OK and Quit, reboot, tick it either off, hit OK and Quit and reboot
[11:35] <NixPanther> Okies... Here is the issue I'm having with Ubuntu. I was using Fiesty, but after some problems and a HDD death (old hdd) I replaced the hdd with another and installed Gutsy. I clean installed from CD (Not upgraded from feisty) and I immediately had sound issues. CD's would play with sound mixer, but Flash was working only sporadically and video's in firefox wouldn't work (IE youtube). I have done all the gutsy upgrades since but I still have int
[11:35] <NixPanther> ermittent sound issues. The more major issues I am having though are Crashes. My PC worked well under Dapper, ok under feisty and gutsy its terrible. It will crash at least 7 times in a day, If I'm Lucky. A lot of the times its when I am being graphics intensive with it, but sometimes it happens when I'm not doing anything at all. I have: AMD 2200+ nVidia 6800 and an NForce Soundcard. I have 1024 RAM.
[11:35] <toresn> Rautamiekka: ok
[11:35] <blackfox> i jusk know ubuntu 7.10
[11:35] <ikonia> NixPanther 1.) are you using ubuntu 7.10 64bit version 2.) what version of the flash plugin are you using
[11:36] <CppIsWeird> External USB Drive plugged into Feisty i get the following error: mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /) When i plug the drive into my gutsy computer, it functions perfectly. I was using the usb drive with my feisty computer last night just fine and have been using it for months. I probably pulled it out without properly unmounting it. How do i resolve this issue?
[11:36] <ikonia> blackfox: its already in 7.10
[11:36] <blackfox> ooo
[11:36] <ikonia> CppIsWeird is it currently mounted in fesity ?
[11:36] <lapisdecor> ikonia the trouble has to do with php configuration, because moodle conects to mail default ports and my mail server is gmail for domains
[11:37] <ikonia> lapisdecor don't worry about domains, you want your smtp server, in the config file for moodle there should be an option to set your smtpp server
[11:37] <blackfox> in ubuntu 7.10 can change effact ?
[11:37] <ikonia> blackfox: totally, in systems->preferences use the "desktop-effects" button
[11:37] <Slart> yes.. system , preferences, advanced desktop effects
[11:37] <lapisdecor> yes there is but i get an error when trying to send mail
[11:37] <ata4ix> http://ru.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0EofQr9dr4 - that's really scary for all peoples who don't afraid V.V.Putin -  russian president...
[11:37] <toresn> Rautamiekka: no changes
[11:38] <ikonia> lapisdecor ok, thats fair enough, what is the error
[11:38] <ikonia> !offtopic | ata4ix
[11:38] <ubotu> ata4ix: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[11:38] <NixPanther> ikonia, afaik Its 64 bit. Flash plugin ... *goes to check ff*
[11:38] <Rautamiekka> toresn, Then I am out of ideas, sorry
[11:38] <boubbin> how to join mp3s in one mp3 file, any app for it ?
[11:38] <toresn> Rautamiekka: ok, thanks anyway
[11:38] <ikonia> NixPanther flash isn't availabe in 64bit, only a free version called "gnash" which is in early development and not very "stable" sites like youtube may have problems
[11:38] <lapisdecor> i think its an autentication problem, because moodle uses default mail ports and gmail for domains use secure ones
[11:39] <Slart> ata4ix: an url to a russian youtube video.. in russian.. with russian text.. in an international channel with english as default language.. nice thinking there
[11:39] <ikonia> lapisdecor forget gmail - your not interested in your domains, your interested in an smtp server
[11:39] <NixPanther> ikonia, about:plugind tells me - Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48
[11:39] <ikonia> NixPanther: can you show me "uname -a"
[11:39] <blackfox> i cant find desktop effact
[11:39] <ata4ix> Slart, you dont need to know russian
[11:39] <ata4ix> look and understand
[11:39] <ikonia> ata4ix: its not appropriate for this channel
[11:39] <ata4ix> Putin - is antichirst :)
[11:39] <ikonia> ata4ix: please don't post again

[11:40] <TheMafia> how can I restrict local users access to printers on a multiuser machine?
[11:40] <oyvindra>  I'm having problems with cpufreq. I'm running Ubuntu 7.10, and when I restart, scaling_min_frequency equals scaling_max_frequency for cpufreq, naturally, the cpu is then locked at maximum speed. I can change the minimum by using cpufreq-set, but I don't want to do this after each restart...
[11:40] <lapisdecor> ikonia can you explain?
[11:40] <ikonia> NixPanther ok, good so i's 32bit
[11:40] <ikonia> lapisdecor: pop into ubuntu-offtopic and I'll explain as its not really anything to do with ubuntu
[11:40] <CppIsWeird> External USB Drive plugged into Feisty i get the following error: mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /) When i plug the drive into my gutsy computer, it functions perfectly. I was using the usb drive with my feisty computer last night just fine and have been using it for months. I probably pulled it out without properly unmounting it. How do i resolve this issue?
[11:41] <NixPanther> Ok hehe I can never remember which is the newer one
[11:41] <toresn> anyone else know why my directories and files in the home location suddenly appeared on my desktop?
[11:41] <ikonia> CppIsWeird is it currently mounted in fesity ?
[11:41] <blackfox> i cant find desktop effact.what need to do?
[11:41] <ikonia> NixPanther are you having sound problems in general or just through ubuntu
[11:41] <lapisdecor> already there
[11:41] <ikonia> sorry
[11:41] <ikonia> NixPanther: or just through flash
[11:42] <ikonia> lapisdecor: ok
[11:42] <CppIsWeird> ikonia, i dunno, you tell me, is it mounted after getting an error message like that?
[11:42] <ikonia> CppIsWeird have a look
[11:43] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: let me know
[11:43] <mikkael> is is possible to include minimized windows in the compiz "scale" effect ?
[11:43] <blackfox> ikonia: i cant find desktop-effects botton.
[11:43] <NixPanther> ikonia, Its mainly in Firefox, Sound Juicer works ok, but The mic also works sporadically. I play a game where I can use voice and sometimes the sound cuts out or goes really shakey in that too, and the mice doesn't work at all, but it works in skype.
[11:43] <ubuntufreak> I get this error after every automatic updates http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/7649/errorpx5.png
[11:44] <ikonia> NixPanther I suspect thats not flash, its either 1.) a problem with your sound card/driver 2.) problems with sound when your machienn is under load
[11:45] <CppIsWeird> ikonia, i dont want your assistance, please stop acknowledging my query, put me on ignore.
[11:45] <ikonia> CppIsWeird do you have a problem ?
[11:46] <CppIsWeird> not anymore. :)
[11:46] <ikonia> CppIsWeird  ahh good, you've fixed it
[11:46] <ikonia> CppIsWeird what was the resolution ?
[11:46] <CppIsWeird> External USB Drive plugged into Feisty i get the following error: mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /) When i plug the drive into my gutsy computer, it functions perfectly. I was using the usb drive with my feisty computer last night just fine and have been using it for months. I probably pulled it out without properly unmounting it. How do i resolve this issue?
[11:47] <Slart> ubuntufreak: looks like you have some old updates that didn't finish properly.. go into a terminal and run this "sudo apt-get install"..
[11:47] <ikonia> CppIsWeird your still having the same problem. Is the drive currently mounted in fesity ?
[11:49] <BaD-Laptop> CppIsWeird: if the drive isn't mounted, fsck it. for instance, i would
[11:49] <NixPanther> ikonia, Thanks. I can root around the forums to try and sort out the sound issues. Do you have any Idea's on the crashes? (I'm not holding out a lot of hope on that one as I have read over 100 pages of forums where others are having the same issues)
[11:49] <BaD-Laptop> CppIsWeird: if the drive isn't mounted, fsck it. for instance, i would 'sudo umount /dev/sdf1' then 'sudo fsck /dev/sdf1' then remount it.
[11:50] <BaD-Laptop> pardon my big fingers
[11:50] <MinusSeven> if I change a config file, for example pidentd, and have to reload it, is there a way without rebooting?
[11:50] <ikonia> NixPanther what sound card are you using ?
[11:50] <NixPanther> ikonia, Nforce2
[11:50] <casio1374633> hello guys~
[11:50] <blackfox> my ubuntu dont have desktop effects.what need to do?
[11:50] <ikonia> NixPanther: no idea on that one, I know a few people complained about the driver on some intels
[11:50] <ikonia> 11:49 < blackfox> my ubuntu dont have desktop effects.what need to do?
[11:50] <ikonia> ooops
[11:51] <ikonia> blackfox system --> preferences --> advanced desktop effects
[11:51] <blackfox> o.o
[11:51] <tz80211> CppIsWeird: if the usb device has a filesystem with some kind of label, remove the "/" char from its label
[11:51] <neumind> wher i can find filezilla for ubuntu?
[11:51] <ikonia> NixPanther is your machine powerful ?
[11:51] <ikonia> tz80211: apparantly its not labled
[11:51] <BaD-Laptop> MinusSeven: sudo /etc/init.d/pidentd restart
[11:51] <NixPanther> ikonia, Yeah I have 2 options for that, either find the drivers again or take it our and use the on board sound.
[11:52] <tz80211> ikonia: so blkid /dev/... showed nothing?
[11:52] <ikonia> NixPanther I think the drivers in the kernel are mature enough
[11:52] <ikonia> tz80211 he won't check.
[11:52] <MinusSeven> ok, thanks
[11:52] <ikonia> tz80211 so I can only take his word,  its mounting on /dev/disk so I assume not
[11:52] <CppIsWeird> tz80211: it doesnt have one that im aware of, and would not 7.10 have also the same issue when mounting it?
[11:52] <NixPanther> Its an AMD athalon 2200, 1024 RAM
[11:53] <casio1374633> hello , i have a question on rc2.d
[11:53] <dion> i'm havein trouble installing my web-cam with 'easycam' it finds the cam ok but has an error while installing it (error in 'make install')
[11:53] <CppIsWeird> BaD-Laptop: attempting your solution
[11:53] <tz80211> CppIsWeird: maybe 7.10 translates "/" to some other char
[11:53] <casio1374633> last time , i let some section close , that's : mv S** K**
[11:54] <CppIsWeird> how do i figure out what label it has, when i right click on its entity in the "Computer" icon, i get that its label is "10 GB Volume: Disk"
[11:54] <ikonia> tz80211 the problem initially appears that he's not using the ntfs-3g driver on fesity which stops him read/writing to ntfs, the second one appears to be volume consistancy
[11:54] <NixPanther> ikonia,  Its an AMD athalon 2200, 1024 RAM
[11:54] <BaD-Laptop> CppIsWeird: it should work. that how i do it if one of my external drives acts up. usually it's just wasn't cleanly unmounted.
[11:54] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: that has spaces in it
[11:54] <bonkers-matt> does anyone know the root password on the Dreamlinux Cd? (yes i know this is the ubuntu forum, but this is my last hope after hours of googling)
[11:55] <ikonia> bonkers-matt: sorry, not here
[11:55] <tz80211> CppIsWeird: blkid /dev/the_device
[11:55] <casio1374633> when i restarted, i find when i type startx, my screen is locked at beginning of the color
[11:55] <tz80211> CppIsWeird: where you have to change the_device into the actual device
[11:56] <a_> sadf
[11:56] <BaD-Laptop> ugh, alarm in 5 minutes
[11:57] <CppIsWeird> BaD-Laptop: cant fsck it, the drive is ntfs
[11:57] <CppIsWeird> tz80211: i got nothing from the blockid other then "/dev/sdb type="ntfs""
[11:57] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: the device label has spaces in by the looks of it
[11:57] <tz80211> CppIsWeird: uhhh, i have no experience with ntfs at all. no windows here.
[11:57] <ikonia> and your using the wrong driver
[11:57] <faraday> hello
[11:58] <CppIsWeird> well ikonia, then for the forth time, how do i determine which driver im using.
[11:58] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: for the 10th time is you asnwer my question I'd have explained there
[11:58] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: is the drive currently mounted, I believe not but can you check please.
[11:58] <CppIsWeird> its not mountied
[11:58] <CppIsWeird> (mounted
[11:59] <BaD-Laptop> CppIsWeird: sudo aptitude install ntfs-tools
[11:59] <archdruid> hello everyone
[11:59] <faraday> hello
[11:59] <ikonia> right so try mounting it manually at a sane mount point with the ntfs-3g driver - lets see if that is the actual problem
[11:59] <CppIsWeird> ...
[11:59] <blackfox> dont have advanced desktop effects
[11:59] <CppIsWeird> i aint going through all this again
[11:59] <ubuntufreak> Slart: when i try it i get this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45986
[11:59] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: going through what ?
[12:00] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: you have to do this so to understand the problem
[12:00] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: then it can be fixed
[12:00] <a_> asdfㅁㄴㅇㄹ
[12:00] <Slart> ubuntufreak: ok.. seems like it's cupsys that's being naughty.. try this.. "sudo dpkg-reconfigure cupsys"
[12:01] <J-_> What's a good program to use to edit video?
[12:01] <archdruid> i need some information about that gnupgp how can i export an import my greated key in another gpa installation... i tried to import sec_bak.pgp (the backupfile was named so) but gpa can´t import that damned key
[12:01] <BaD-Laptop> J-_: kinodv
[12:01] <Slart> a_: try joining an empty channel if you just want to test things.. #a_ should be empty
[12:01] <ubuntufreak> Slart: I would try that now
[12:01] <J-_> BaD-Laptop: thanks man =)
[12:02] <dion> i'm havein trouble installing my web-cam with 'easycam' it finds the cam ok but has an error while installing it (error in 'make install')
[12:02] <CppIsWeird> i mounsted it, i immidately get a message saying i cant see the contents because i dont have permissions, i try to chmod and chown the mountpoint to which i get i cannot do that to a read-only filesystem
[12:02] <ikonia> dion: make install ? are you compiling it from source
[12:02] <ubuntufreak> Slart: this is what i get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45987/
[12:02] <CppIsWeird> i cant even see the files on the drive
[12:02] <ikonia> CppIsWeird ok - so that fine, now that its mounted what drive is it using to mount
[12:03] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: one step at a time, its mounted read only, so the question is why, wrong driver or a problem
[12:03] <CppIsWeird> /dev/sdb
[12:03] <ikonia> CppIsWeird sorry, thats not a driver, use the command "mount" on its own to see what it used
[12:03] <CppIsWeird> not wrong driver because ive used the drive with the computer unmerous times
[12:03] <BaD-Laptop> ikonia: probably mounted as 'ntfs' instead of 'ntfs-3g'
[12:03] <dion> ikonia: no the app is already install'd Thats the error it givs me. I have run it in the terminal to try and figure it out myself but no go, the Entire output is in the paste
[12:04] <ikonia> BaD-Laptop exactly
[12:04] <ikonia> CppIsWeird why do you keep telling me you know itsthe right driver when you don't even know what drive its using
[12:04] <blackfox> i use Ubuntu 7.10 desktop .i cant find advanced desktop effects too
[12:04] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: do the commands I tell you and give me the answer to the questions if you want it fixed
[12:04] <Slart> ubuntufreak: ok.. we'll try removing it and installing it again then.. "sudo apt-get install --reinstall cupsys" , see if that works
[12:06] <CppIsWeird> mount doesnt say anything
[12:06] <ikonia> CppIsWeird put the output of mount in a pastebvin please.
[12:06] <ikonia> pastebin
[12:06] <Slart> blackfox: try installing compizconfig-settings-manager.. (sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager)
[12:06] <bernard__> Using Ubuntu 7.10. Is there a suitable driver for the Dell 946 All-in-One printer?
[12:06] <jkp> hmmm, so i ran the upgrade to gutsy, from feisty, but it seems to have failed
[12:06] <Slart> !info compizconfig-settings-manager
[12:06] <ubotu> compizconfig-settings-manager: Compiz configuration settings manager. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.5.2+git20070912-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 498 kB, installed size 3268 kB
[12:06] <jkp> now it wont let me rerun to finish it
[12:06] <Alloos1> hi guys, any recommended VPS with ubuntu server?
[12:06] <CppIsWeird> what about mount doesnt say anything didnt you understand?
[12:06] <CppIsWeird> it said: ""
[12:06] <ubuntufreak> Slart: still i get an error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45988/
[12:06] <jkp> what is the correct procedure to recover from a bad upgrade?
[12:06] <CppIsWeird> nothing nada len(output) == 0
[12:06] <ikonia> CppIsWeird mount gave you no output what so ever, nothing at all
[12:07] <dion> jkp- i did the same thing, had to reinstall, but i b new to linux
[12:07] <blackfox> where can find compizconfig-settings-manager?
[12:07] <CppIsWeird> i could have babelfish translate for you
[12:07] <jkp> dion: no way :(
[12:07] <Slart> ubuntufreak: last try then.. we add a --purge "sudo apt-get install --reinstall --purge cupsys"
[12:07] <NixPanther> jkp, Go to the Ubuntu site and burn an ISO of Gutsy to a CD and install it from that.
[12:07] <jkp> man, a reinstall is going to be utter pain here
[12:07] <dion> tell me about it
[12:07] <jkp> NixPanther: surely not
[12:07] <CppIsWeird> i say mount /dev/sdb1 /media/USBDrive
[12:07] <CppIsWeird> it say nothing
[12:07] <Slart> blackfox: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[12:07] <jkp> man, i dont even have a monitor, its a headless server box
[12:08] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: no problem, hre is your senario if mount is giving zero legnth output 1.) you are unable to type / read commands 2.) your machine is broken beyond repair 3.) you are telling me a lie
[12:08] <dion> i got them to send me a disk for gutsy
[12:08] <ubuntufreak> Slart: No way, still i get the same error
[12:08] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: LISTEN to what is being said, I told you to use "mount on its own"
[12:08] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: I didn't tell you to do mount /;dev/sdba1 /media
[12:08] <jkp> why is there no way to rerun an upgrade? it showed me what failed, i removed the package
[12:08] <jkp> so it should run ok now
[12:08] <dion> for free, but it took 3weeks to australia
[12:08] <NixPanther> jkp,  yes. Its the safest way to do it. Its plastered all over the forums that you should upgrade that way :-)
[12:08] <blackfox> ok i go try
[12:08] <jkp> dion: i can download in 5 mins, thats not the problem
[12:08] <Slart> ubuntufreak: ok.. let's check some logs.. see if they will tell us someting.. "tail /var/log/syslog".. anything there about cupsys?
[12:08] <jkp> NixPanther: all the guides say its fine from feisty
[12:09] <jkp> and that is not cool, is that an "upgrade" or a reinstall
[12:09] <dion> lol, ok
[12:09] <CppIsWeird> mount returns /dev/sdb1 on /media/USBDrive type ntfs (rw)
[12:09] <jkp> you cant expect people to blow away everything every time a new release comes out, thats just undoable
[12:09] <jkp> s/you/they/
[12:09] <ikonia> CppIsWeird thank you, so you ARE using the wrong driver
[12:09] <NixPanther> jkp, Its a reinstall, so make sure you have backups.
[12:09] <jkp> man
[12:09] <jkp> thats a joke
[12:10] <ikonia> CppIsWeird you need to unmount it first of all
[12:10] <Lumpy^> hey... how can i fix this error? Fatal error: Call to undefined function pcntl_signal()  .... i need to install that somehow?
[12:10] <jkp> i thought ubuntu was supposed to be stiving to make these things easy
[12:10] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: sudo umount /mediaUSBdrive
[12:10] <jkp> and the recommendation is "blow away old system, install new"
[12:10] <ubuntufreak> Slart: Here it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45989/
[12:10] <CppIsWeird> done, next
[12:10] <dion> u can upgrade usein the cd but i didnt trust it
[12:10] <NixPanther> jkp, It is, and its free, do you expect perfection? Because not even microshaft has that
[12:10] <J-_> BaD-Laptop: In kino what should I choose NTSC or PAL? It's a video screen capture.
[12:10] <ikonia> CppIsWeird sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb /media/USBDrive
[12:11] <jkp> NixPanther: i dont, but that is about as far from perfection as you can get
[12:11] <Slart> ubuntufreak: nothing there about cupsys... hang on.. I'll see if we can't make apt-get tell us a little more about what is going wrong
[12:11] <BaD-Laptop> CppIsWeird: simple soultion> 'sudo umount -v /dev/sdb1; sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/USBDrive'
[12:11] <jkp> surely there is a way to just rerrun the upgrade?
[12:11] <jkp> i acn see what failed, i have removed it, it should work if i can rerun
[12:11] <BaD-Laptop> J-_: what is the screen capture from? where are you?
[12:12] <J-_> BaD-Laptop: my destop, and canada
[12:12] <BaD-Laptop> J-_: NTSC
[12:12] <J-_> k
[12:12] <ubuntufreak> Slart: ok
[12:12] <J-_> thanks
[12:13] <CppIsWeird> i get an invalid filesystem type
[12:13] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: ok thats because you don't have ntfs-3g installed on fesity
[12:13] <ikonia> CppIsWeird as Slart said, it didn't come pre-installed in fesity at the very start
[12:13] <CppIsWeird> i know i used this drive on this computer before
[12:13] <ikonia> CppIsWeird IU'm sure you did, but not to write or not with ntfs
[12:13] <jmafc> last time I tried Ubuntu I gave up because I couldn't find a way to remove OpenOffice.  I'm about to try 7.10.  I know I can install Abiword and gnumeric but I want to know if I can get rid of OO, or not install it in the first place
[12:14] <CppIsWeird> whatever, fine, my bad. how do i resolve this?
[12:14] <ikonia> !ntfs-3g | CppIsWeird
[12:14] <ubotu> CppIsWeird: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[12:14] <brobostigon> jmasc:: sudo apt-get autoremove openoffice
[12:15] <san|> jmafc: well goto "Applications->Add/Remove ..." and deselect the open office apps you don't want?!
[12:15] <BaD-Laptop> CppIsWeird: 'sudo aptitude install ntfs-3g; sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/UBSDisk' should do it then
[12:15] <CppIsWeird> ty bad laptop
[12:16] <J-_> BaD-Laptop: it says there's no .dv file.. =S
[12:16] <ray_> question, i just installed compiz and i cant get any desktop effects other than none
[12:16] <CppIsWeird> will it automatically mount it using that in the future?
[12:16] <ikonia> CppIsWeird: no
[12:16] <froglet> in ubuntu feisty, how can I get alt-shift-tab to do the "right thing" (reverse alt-tab window switching) with compiz under gnome? ccsm won't change that shortcut.
[12:16] <BaD-Laptop> J-_: errr, ummm, because you have to create it? ;]
[12:16] <CppIsWeird> any way to resolve that?
[12:17] <ikonia> CppIsWeird get this working first, then we can deal with that
[12:17] <jmafc> san: I recall that I tried deselecting the OO apps and it told me I couldn't do it iirc because they were essential or part of the "profile" of something like that
[12:17] <CppIsWeird> it is working
[12:17] <Slart> ubuntufreak: nope.. didn't find anything.. what happened is this... something went wrong with the update of cupsys (handles printing in linux), apt-get get's the error message and then assumes that cupsys isn't installed properly so every time you install something it will try to isntall cupsys again.. since it's still in the to-do-queue
[12:18] <tarelerulz> I have been having wireless problems. I removed the ndiswrapper that I install use synaptic ,but when I do ethtool -i it still shows 1.45 and I have downloaded 1.47.  I thought I removed the old one ,but I keep seeing it.  any one know how to tell which one I am really useing?
[12:18] <Slart> ubuntufreak: you could try removing cupsys altogether.. using the --purge switch.. and then reinstall it. but I'm not sure that would work either
[12:18] <jmafc> brobostigon:  I don't mind using apt-get autoremove but will that not create problems elsewhere?
[12:19] <brobostigon> it shuldnt as long as you remove the right thing and are sure about it.
[12:19] <jmafc> brobostigon: like if other parts of Ubuntu expect OO to be there
[12:19] <ubuntufreak> Slart: Anyway im not using any printing media with my system, would it be a problem if i remove it completely and how to do that
[12:19] <blackfox> how to do ?(sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager)
[12:19] <brobostigon> well thats the consequence
[12:19] <Slart> ubuntufreak: nope.. no problem.. to remove it you run "sudo apt-get remove --purge cupsys"

[12:21] <brobostigon> other packages might depend on openoffice.
[12:21] <ubuntufreak> Slart: I get a warning " dpkg - warning: while removing cupsys, directory `/etc/cups/ssl' not empty so not removed."
 I admire your patience.
[12:22] <brobostigon> if ou remove openoffice ther packages may stop working
[12:22] <ubuntufreak> Slart: Thanks for your kind help :)

[12:30] <ray_> alright
[12:30] <toresn> hmm, some white text is being displayed as pink here... not much really, but the character 'w" has pink in it and also the frame in my 'moc (music on console'-player is pink (although it's set to be white)
[12:30] <Sharpie> ray_: it probably won't solve it but it's a start
[12:30] <Sharpie> ray_: cause you need it anyway
[12:31] <avi_me> Hi , how do I add a user that can access all the other users directories without adding him to their groups or adding o=+r to their directories  (something like a root user)  ?
[12:31] <ivs> народ куда прописать можно что бы комада при загрузке грузилась
[12:31] <jkp> well, it all *seems* to be running ok.  i rebooted, ran various apt-get invocations but it doesnt want to update anything
[12:31] <Sharpie> avi_me: just a guess, go to "users and groups" and add your user to the "root" group. haven't ever tried it though
[12:31] <soundray> avi_me: add the new user to the admin group. Then they can do everything to every directory, provided they use sudo.
[12:31] <KonjikiNoyami> I downloaded the version 9.50 beta Opera (in .deb file), double click to install it but it doesn't run stably so I remove it and installed the stable version 9.24. Now I want to execute Opera 9.24 but a message says that "another Opera has its lock file active" and didn't let me run Opera even I chose to "start Opera anyway", somebody help?

[12:32] <ray_> i already have it
[12:32] <avi_me> soundray, i cannot use sudo , i need it for rsync
[12:32] <KonjikiNoyami> Sharpie, then which browser is good? :P
[12:32] <Sharpie> ray_: ok, now, did you install your GPU drivers?
[12:32] <Sharpie> KonjikiNoyami: firefox
[12:33] <avi_me> !tab
[12:33] <ubotu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[12:33] <soundray> avi_me: what exactly are you trying to do?
[12:33] <ray_> yes i have my fglrx installed for ati drivers

[12:33] <toresn> hmm, some white text is being displayed as pink here... not much really, but the character 'w" has pink in it and also the frame in my 'moc (music on console'-player is pink (although it's set to be white)
[12:33] <avi_me> soundray, i'm trying to rsync the home directory to another server
[12:33] <Sharpie> ray_: and did you enable your driver in the restricted drivers prog?
[12:33] <ray_> yes i did
[12:33] <KonjikiNoyami> Sharpie: FF crashes sometimes, especially when I load sites that consist Flash, is there any way to avoid this?
[12:33] <soundray> avi_me: okay, and what's the problem?
[12:33] <NixPanther> basically put you type part of their nickname and hit tab until the right name comes up
[12:34] <Slart> toresn: using a LCD screen? sub pixel rendering?
[12:34] <Sharpie> KonjikiNoyami: happens to me too, just pray it gets fixed :P
[12:34] <KonjikiNoyami> except this flash's problem, FF is perfect
[12:34] <Sharpie> !who > ray_
[12:34] <avi_me> soundray, I get permittion denied when trying to rsync folders that are not owned by the rsync user, with root i dont have the problem
[12:34] <Sharpie> ray_: and anyway, i really don't know how to help you =[
[12:34] <KonjikiNoyami> ah, ok, gotta stick with FF for now then, thanks Sharpie
[12:34] <Frogzoo> KonjikiNoyami: increase flash's cache to 10meg/infinite
[12:34] <Sharpie> avi_me: how about "sudo rsync"? lol
[12:34] <toresn> Slart: yes to both
[12:34] <Frogzoo> KonjikiNoyami: seems to help
[12:34] <KonjikiNoyami> Frogzoo: how do I do that?
[12:34] <ray_> alright no biggie
[12:34] <soundray> avi_me: so why not use sudo rsync?
[12:35] <Frogzoo> KonjikiNoyami: right click inside the flash box
[12:35] <Slart> toresn: try changing the order of the colour pixels
[12:35] <ata4ix> in ubuntu openssh-client. but for server wich distrib i must use?  openssh-server? right?
[12:35] <SpeCon> when i do apt-get remove --purge apache2  it will remove my apache2  but when i check /etc/apache2 its still there
[12:35] <Slart> toresn: system, preferences, appearance
[12:35] <Sharpie> Frogzoo: where is the flash cache stored?
[12:35] <SpeCon> also i did updatedb
[12:35] <Frogzoo> Sharpie: good question /tmp?
[12:35] <toresn> Slart: i did, thank you! everything's back to normal now
[12:35] <jrib> SpeCon: dpkg -S /etc/apache2   will tell you why

[12:36] <Sharpie> Frogzoo: hm, dunno, i'll google it up
[12:36] <ata4ix> and what best ssh/telnet glient gui for x? putty or not?
[12:36] <avi_me> soundray, if I use sudo rsync by root on machineA , with user ssh avi@machineB does it run the read the files on machineB with permitions of super user ?
[12:37] <Sharpie> Frogzoo: hm yeah i think it's in /tmp, there's a youtube video in there
[12:37] <jrib> ata4ix: why do you need a gui to ssh?  Just use 'ssh user@host' on the command line
[12:37] <ata4ix> ok
[12:37] <ata4ix> :)
[12:38] <avi_me> soundray, I'm running this command "rsync -e ssh -avz  aviel@<IP_ADDRESS>:/home ./" (logged as root ) and get permition denied , would i get it if i ran it with sudo ?
[12:39] <soundray> avi_me: if Machine A is the source of the files, and Machine B the destination, and you use the '-users' flag, rsync will preserve the file ownership.
[12:40] <soundray> avi_me: sorry, I mean '-owner'
[12:40] <rarez-> can anyone help me with http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45990/ ?
[12:40] <avi_me> soundray, sec , testing...
[12:40] <soundray> avi_me: oh, you're not running rsyncd on the destination machine?
[12:40] <avi_me> soundray, no
[12:41] <omar> Guys, I need some help please
[12:41] <rarez-> Anyone look at my pastebin ?
[12:41] <soundray> avi_me: I'm not sure it's possible to preserve the permissions then.
[12:41] <Sharpie> rarez-: is the synaptic package manager open while you do it?
[12:41] <ArabEyes> omar , ask your question
[12:41] <Sharpie> rarez-: or any similar app, like the update program?
[12:41] <rarez-> Nope
[12:41] <rarez-> nothing is open
[12:41] <omar> Ubuntu refuses to read my DVD's
[12:41] <rarez-> im not even logged into X
[12:41] <soundray> avi_me: but I suspect the problem is something else. You should give the full path to ssh, ie. /usr/bin/ssh
[12:41] <Slart> Sharpie: eboard lets you setup the board as you like.. looks ok too
[12:41] <rasputnik_> rarez-, is that all it says
[12:42] <dion> could not connect to video device (/dev/video0). Please check connection............ how???
[12:42] <rarez-> Yes thats all it says rasputnik_
[12:42] <jarryd> YOUR MOM KNOWS how
[12:42] <avi_me> soundray, so I go back to the initial question - i add a user on machineB and i want it to have full access to all directories , how can i do that ?
[12:42] <soundray> jarryd: don't do this please
[12:42] <jarryd> Ok i wont

[12:42] <zejosh> Hi*
[12:43] <omar> and I downloaded the C++ compiler KDevelop, it worked but I it doesn't build my programs at all
[12:43] <zejosh> I'm currentely attempting to install Divx codec onto my linux. I'm in the directory and have the files showing to me. WHat command should I run to install it?
[12:43] <Pici> !dvd | omar
[12:43] <ubotu> omar: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[12:43] <soundray> avi_me: it doesn't work that way. You should run rsyncd on the destination machine, and do away with the -e option.
[12:44] <avi_me> soundray, I think the problem is before that , when i do su aviel on machineB and try to access to folder as /home/yoyo i get permition denied so the problem maybe with file permitions
[12:44] <zejosh> I'm currentely attempting to install Divx codec onto my linux. I'm in the directory and have the files showing to me. WHat command should I run to install it
[12:44] <Sharpie> Slart: downloading it, thx =o
[12:44] <soundray> avi_me: it's permissions
[12:45] <soundray> avi_me: and it won't happen when you run sudo rsync
[12:45] <rasputnik> soundray, avi_me : sudo will make no difference. it's the remote user that has the problem

[12:46] <rasputnik> s/it's/if it's/
[12:46] <soundray> rasputnik: it will make a difference, if the user who runs rsync hasn't got read permissions in /home/yoyo
[12:46] <soundray> rasputnik: to the extent that the remote user is a problem, running rsyncd at the destination will solve it.
[12:46] <zejosh> I'm currentely attempting to install Divx codec onto my linux. I'm in the directory and have the files showing to me. WHat command should I run to install it
[12:46] <omar> I already installed Libdvdread3, but it still does not work at all.
[12:46] <cool> zejosh,  Open a terminal window, then type (or cut and paste) the following:
[12:46] <cool> sudo apt-get install ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
[12:47] <rasputnik> soundray, why not just login as a user with sufficient privileges?
[12:47] <jrib> omar: you need to do more.  Did you read the next steps in the wiki?
[12:47] <omar> oh ok
[12:47] <avi_me> soundray,  wait trying to as sudo
[12:48] <avi_me> rasputnik, that was my original intention..

[12:50] <cool> !ask | meezfoghi,
[12:50] <avi_me> soundray, running with sudo did not work , still getting permition denied... I believe the problem is located where user aviel cannot access the folders normally..
[12:50] <ubotu> meezfoghi,: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:50] <jrib> szonek: shift-insert should paste to if you want the keyboard way
[12:50] <meezfoghi> how to open file format .hlp
[12:50] <omar> jrib: yes, they told my to type a command in the terminal prompt, but it didn't work
[12:51] <jrib> omar: pastebin the error you got
[12:51] <soundray> avi_me: are you doing this for backup purposes?
[12:51] <szonek> jrib: what about normal console? (not terminal)
[12:51] <klos> anyone knows if the python interpreter is included in a fresh ubuntu installation ??
[12:51] <soundray> klos: it is.
[12:51] <cool> meezfoghi, you want to view help files ?
[12:51] <klos> thx
[12:51] <jrib> szonek: you can use the copy paste system in screen I guess
[12:51] <avi_me> soundray, just one time to duplicate the contents of the home dir
[12:52] <omar> jrib: << sudo: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh: command not found >>
[12:52] <slackern> szonek, you can do it in consoles too if you install gpm
[12:52] <jrib> omar: what version of ubuntu?
[12:52] <omar> 7.10
[12:52] <jrib> !medibuntu | omar
[12:52] <ubotu> omar: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[12:52] <jrib> omar: install dvdcss from medibuntu, it will be easier
[12:53] <meezfoghi> cool:yes..how to open?
[12:54] <soundray> avi_me: give me a minute
[12:54] <meezfoghi> cool:what software i need to open file .hlp on ubuntu
[12:54] <cool> meezfoghi, i use xchm and it works well enough.
[12:54] <cool> sudo apt-get install xchm
[12:55] <cuna> i was recently trying to encrypt my linux partition, following the steps here:http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_dm_crypt_luks. after  this step: 'sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/HARDDISK' my linux started giving input outout errors and when i restarted i get error 17 at grub, if anyone can help that would be awesome
[12:55] <meezfoghi> cool:thank.....u totally cooll!!!!
[12:56] <omar> jrib: do you mean libdvdcss2 ?
[12:56] <jrib> omar: yes
[12:56] <cool> meezfoghi, :)
[12:56] <omar> jrib: It's already there too.
[12:56] <jrib> omar: what are you trying to do?
[12:56] <avi_me> soundray, though about adding uid 0 to user aviel , but I think it's not a good solution , security wise
[12:57] <omar> I'm trying to get my Ubuntu to read my DVD's
[12:57] <soundray> avi_me: definitely not. I think there is a secure way, just testing...
[12:57] <jrib> omar: what does 'apt-cache policy libdvdcss2' return?
[12:57] <Drag> how is a dual-boot with Ubuntu / Vista ? are there any known problems with vista dual-booting ?!?!
[12:57] <Drag> .-*

[12:59] <jrib> omar: use pastebin next time please.  what happens when you insert a dvd?
[12:59] <meezfoghi> cool:xchm cannot open file .hlp....only for file format .chm
[13:00] <omar> It says: "Unable to mount DVD"
[13:00] <Cabbage> During install step 4 (Prepare Partitions), if I choose an ext3-formatted partition that already has data on it as "/", and Format? is unchecked... Will the data on the disk be preserved and just have the new install smooshed in beside it?
[13:00] <jrib> omar: note that medibuntu's version differs from yours
[13:00] <Cabbage> (Sounds stupid, just, uhm, double-checking.)
[13:01] <jrib> omar: install the medibuntu dvdcss2 so we get that out of the way
[13:01] <omar> jrib: ok, where do I find it?
[13:01] <omar> jrib: isn't it the same one I got?
[13:02] <jrib> omar: no

[13:03] <omar> jrib: ok then when I search for it, what do I write in the search prompt?
[13:03] <jrib> omar: sudo aptitude install NAME_OF_PACKAGE
[13:05] <omar> jrib: I did that now
[13:05] <jrib> omar: now what version is installed
[13:06] <omar> jrib: midibuntu libdvdcss2
[13:06] <harryv> hello. i downloaded the alternate cd and put it on a partition, and booted from there - this box doesn't have cdrom, neither floppy - using the kernel in 'install/'. when the installer starts it will not go further if it can't find a cd-drive. shouldn't i be able to install without!?
[13:06] <cool> meezfoghi, you there?
[13:06] <soundray> avi_me: sorry, still trying...
[13:06] <cool> meezfoghi, i was away
[13:06] <jrib> omar: apt-cache policy libdvdcss2  | grep -i Installed
[13:06] <avi_me> soundray, thanks , I'm waiting ...spent a lot of time on this.. :)
[13:06] <meezfoghi> cool:yeah
[13:06] <demco> I added the "slab" menu, although how can I remove "Computer" text beside the icon for this menu, and change the icon picture?
[13:07] <cool> meezfoghi, then try this: http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=702218

[13:08] <harryv> i followed this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux
[13:08] <cool> meezfoghi, wait, this will not work
[13:08] <jrib> omar: did you enable the medibuntu repo?
[13:08] <harryv> the desktop-version did some fuckup, though, so i replaced it with the alternate and used the vmlinuz/initrd located in 'install/'

[13:09] <Xdange1> whenever i try to play a audio file Amarok just freezes
[13:09] <cool> meezfoghi, lemme find something else
[13:09] <Xdange1> i'm using Gutsy
[13:09] <meezfoghi> cool:true
[13:09] <omar> jrib: ok
[13:10] <meezfoghi> cool:thank..:)
[13:10] <Xdange1> HELP whenever i try to play a audio file Amarok just freezes. What could cause that???????
[13:10] <GMW> hi there
[13:10] <cool> meezfoghi, btw i am not sure i would be much help :p, still i will try to find something
[13:10] <Sharpie> Xdange1: are you on GNOME?
[13:10] <GMW> hi all how are u all?
[13:11] <Xdange1> Sharpie: yes
[13:11] <Sharpie> Xdange1: then don't use amarok, it's for KDE. use Exaile (it's kind of an amarok clone for gnome)
[13:11] <GMW> today is pretty good my feel so hot ..
[13:11] <Pici> Sharpie: Amarok should work fine in Gnome.
[13:11] <Xdange1> i kno Exaile
[13:11] <Sharpie> Pici: yes, should, but it doesn't for him
[13:11] <GMW> i've listen to old pop song bohemian rhapsody
[13:11] <Pici> !ot | GMW
[13:11] <ubotu> GMW: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[13:11] <Sharpie> Xdange1: personally though, i prefer the light-weight and simple banshee over exaile and amarok
[13:12] <Xdange1> but I have friends using Amarok on GNOME
[13:12] <Radi01> I used Amarok with gnome/worked fine.
[13:12] <Xdange1> perfectly
[13:12] <Sharpie> Xdange1: i did too, but it does have some incompatibilities (like multimedia keys)
[13:12] <meezfoghi> cool:thank..its ok..no pressure
[13:12] <Sharpie> Xdange1: so in any case, Exaile should be better for you.
[13:12] <Radi01> YOU just have to have the right codec for mp3/libxzine-1-ffmpeg.
[13:13] <Sharpie> Xdange1: and anyway, i think Exaile is much better looking than the puffy amarok :X
[13:13] <Pici> Sharpie: My multimedia keys work fine in Amarok.
[13:13] <Xdange1> Sharpie: lol ok
[13:13] <Pici> Xdange1: Did you install any of the needed codecs for mp3s?
[13:13] <Sharpie> Pici: they didn't for me, and i had to manually configure keys in xbindkeys
[13:13] <Xdange1> Pici: yes all codecs installed
[13:14] <Sharpie> Xdange1: my personal recommendation - use banshee.
[13:14] <Pici> Sharpie: Theres an amarok plugin/script that enables the use of gnome multimedia keys
[13:14] <Xdange1> Pici: well it actually worked before
[13:14] <Pici> Xdange1: And does it freeze on ayn file? or just on specific ones?
[13:15] <Xdange1> Pici : well when it freezed i was playing mp3
[13:15] <cool> meezfoghi, ok first to need to convert hlp to chm & then you than read it in the reader i made you install
[13:15] <Xdange1> Pici : i'm gonna try a another audio file format
[13:16] <meezfoghi> cool:how to convert
[13:16] <cool> meezfoghi, read this http://www.herdsoft.com/linux/themen/hlp_to_chm.html
[13:16] <soundray> avi_me: sorry, I can't find a way without enabling the root account on the destination. If you do that, and lock it again after you're done, it won't be a security risk. Shall I tell you how?
[13:17] <Pici> Xdange1: Try running amarok from a terminal as well, perhaps it will print some messages to stdout
[13:17] <Xdange1> Pici: good idea
[13:17] <avi_me> soundray, you mean enable the ssh allow_root_login ?
[13:18] <soundray> avi_me: yes. You'd have to enable a root password as well.
[13:18] <soundray> avi_me: hold on, here's another idea.
[13:18] <meezfoghi> cool:thank..so much..huhuhuu
[13:18] <soundray> avi_me: you could do it in two steps
[13:19] <cool> meezfoghi, first try & then say :p
[13:19] <avi_me> soundray, how ?
[13:20] <omar> jrib: I did what was written there, but still nothing new
[13:20] <soundray> avi_me: ' ( cd /home && sudo tar zcf - . ) | ( ssh user@machineB cat - >home.tar.gz ) '
[13:21] <kraut> moin
[13:21] <soundray> avi_me: when you've done that, you'll have home.tar.gz in the target user's home. All you do then is 'ssh user@machineB' and 'cd /home ; sudo tar zxvf ~/home.tar.gz'
[13:21] <jrib> omar: pastebin output of: sudo aptitude update && apt-cache policy libdvdcss2
[13:21] <soundray> avi_me: does that make sense?
[13:22] <Pici> !paste | omar
[13:22] <ubotu> omar: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)

[13:23] <avi_me> soundray, :) thanks but the problem is I don't have enough space on machineB to copy the tar and then unpack it inside the machine, and nfs is not possible..
[13:24] <soundray> avi_me: okay, then instead of cat'ing the pipe to the file home.tar.gz, you have to unpack it on the target machine straight away. I'm sure there's a way, I just haven't found it yet...
[13:24] <pawan> how to scan for bluetooth devices
[13:25] <NIMBY> Hi again folks, I resized my linux partition to 300gb yesterday but is the linux installation meant to be on its own partition ? as all the system folders are there and I do not get the option to make a new folder etc
[13:25] <avi_me> soundray, thanks , in the meantime i enabled to root to ssh and im now rsyncing using it, when it finished i'll put back the restriction...
[13:26] <soundray> avi_me: okay, it's a bit of a hack of course
[13:26] <caligarn> does anybody have a solution to this pidgin 2.3.0 problem yet?
[13:26] <caligarn> where it doesn't load...
[13:26] <soundray> avi_me: I still think you could do it by running rsyncd (as root) on the destination.
[13:26] <Radi01> 2.3?
[13:27] <ikonia> caligarn loads fine here, can you expand
[13:27] <chew> caligarn: tried to start it frome commandline?
[13:27] <chew> from

[13:27] <caligarn> here's my exact error from the command line
[13:27] <ikonia> caligarn: thats not a problem.
[13:27] <caligarn>  pidgin

[13:27] <soundray> NIMBY: can you rephrase the problem?
[13:28] <omar> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45994/
[13:28] <NIMBY> could you recommend a reasonable size for the system partition for linux
[13:28] <caligarn> what is the problem?
[13:28] <chew> caligarn: nothing to do with ubuntu like ikonia said, why don't you use a ubuntu-package?
[13:28] <livingdaylight> !ubuntu-me
[13:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-me - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[13:29] <caligarn> but they didn't have 2.2.1 in the repos...so wasnt sure.

[13:29] <chew> caligarn: first do a make uninstall in the pidgin source directory
[13:29] <omar> jrib: it's normal one I burned and put some mp3's and images and videos and other stuff in it
[13:29] <NIMBY> soundray I was running out of space when it was 12gb, and its currently using 17gb, if Im using wine and copy stuff to it's drive C: where would they be stored ?
[13:29] <ikonia> GMW who can't ?
[13:29] <GMW> thxs
[13:29] <ikonia> chew excellent call
[13:29] <GMW> find it
[13:30] <omar> jrib: it's not the only one that does not work
[13:30] <Lumpy^> hey. is there  a way to configure firefox proxy server by a file? instad of going each time to tools-> etc....
[13:30] <soundray> NIMBY: in your $HOME under .wine/drive_c
[13:30] <jrib> omar: ok, dvdcss is for watching encrypted videos so it's not related.  Did you pastebin the full error?
[13:30] <livingdaylight> !ubuntu-me
[13:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-me - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[13:30] <caligarn> ikonia: what was i doing wrong exactly?
[13:30] <ikonia> Lumpy^: once you'ce done it once it should save your settings
[13:30] <ikonia> caligarn: too much efort to explain
[13:30] <caligarn> ikonia: jumping ahead?
[13:30] <omar> jrib: ???
[13:30] <caligarn> ikonia: okay....thanks though
[13:30] <ikonia> caligarn: no, nothing to do with jumping ahead
[13:31] <jrib> omar: the full error you get when you insert the dvd
[13:31] <NIMBY> soundray so that would be on the linux partition, if I install WoW thats going to be about 12gb, do I just make new folders in the /home dir ?
[13:31] <omar> jrib: oh ok, one minute
[13:31] <soundray> NIMBY: how are your partitions laid out on the disk?
[13:31] <meezfoghi> jrib:i have install ubuntu-restricted-extras..but cannot play divocodec
[13:31] <chew> caligarn: if you want to use your compiled version you need to install libpurple0
[13:32] <Lumpy^> im looking a way to do it via config file
[13:32] <jrib> meezfoghi: what exactly do you mean by 'divocodec'?
[13:32] <caligarn> chew: and since i didn't have hat my compiling was all for naught,...
[13:32] <caligarn> that* my compiling
[13:32] <NIMBY> soundray I have one main partition and one 8gb at the end which I was going to use for linux_swap
[13:32] <chew> caligarn: better if you leave it and install a supported ubuntu package from the official repository ;)
[13:33] <jrib> meezfoghi: maybe you should read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3wPlayer#DivoCodec
[13:33] <chew> imo
[13:33] <caligarn> chew: heheh...thanks guys
[13:33] <NIMBY> divocodec is spyware if its anything like the ones I saw on windows and the file that asks for it is probably a fake
[13:33] <meezfoghi> jrib: ok thank
[13:33] <GMW> help me for beginner shell study web site
[13:33] <jrib> meezfoghi: try mplayer though, it may be able to play it
[13:33] <ImP0steR> What is the "Ubuntu" you humons speak of?
[13:33] <soundray> NIMBY: so you have everything in the 300GB partition, with "everything" currently occupying 17GB?
[13:33] <ubuntu_>  /nick nanushka

[13:33] <ikonia> GMW: this is ubuntu support. Use https://help.uubntu.com or http:/www.tldp.org
[13:34] <NIMBY> soundray yes thats correct
[13:34] <ImP0steR> Damn.
[13:34] <omar> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45995/
[13:34] <meezfoghi> jrib: so my video infected virus right??
[13:34] <soundray> NIMBY: so you should have 283GB free. If you install anything, it will just eat into that free space. Nothing to worry about there.
[13:35] <jrib> meezfoghi: well according to wikipedia it's probably just malware and not actually a video
[13:35] <jrib> omar: there is a bug, please search bugs.ubuntu.com and let me know if you cannot find it
[13:35] <NIMBY> soundray the problem is I want to make a folder on the drive but when I right click I get no such option so I assume that I need to make the folder in a specific place
[13:35] <avi_me> soundray, on the destination is a possibility i did not think about , it's probably what i'll try next time .. thanks alot  :)
[13:36] <pawan> hi
[13:36] <soundray> NIMBY: what would that folder be for?
[13:36] <NIMBY> the divocodec is what would give you the spyware/keylogger as long as you do not use it you will be ok, just delete the avi and get the real one
[13:36] <omar> jrib: Some people told me to do something with the fstab file, but I don't know what was that exactly
[13:36] <jrib> omar: it's in the bug's comments
[13:36] <NIMBY> soundray files that I want to share on my network
[13:37] <omar> jrib: oh ok
[13:37] <him> hello
[13:38] <caligarn> ikonia: hey man...i did sudo apt-get install pidgin...but it didn't give me 2.3....i still have 2.2.1
[13:38] <caligarn> ikonia: what am i doing wrong?
[13:38] <ikonia> caligarn: 2.2.1 is in the repo, 2.3 is not
[13:38] <ikonia> caligarn: why do you want 2.3 ?
[13:38] <caligarn> ikonia:
[13:38] <meezfoghi> jrib: ok thank so much..i redownload that video again
[13:38] <NIMBY> soundray should I maybe resize my main partition to a smaller size and create a new one in the remaining space ?
[13:38] <caligarn> ikonia: well...guess i just want to check it out...2.2.1 gives me problems
[13:38] <soundray> NIMBY: I suggest you use the terminal to create a folder 'sudo mkdir /var/local/share' and make it writable for your user with 'sudo chown $USER:$USER /var/local/share'
[13:39] <ikonia> caligarn in what way  ?
[13:39] <chew> caligarn: i'm sure they'll update it to 2.3 soon enough
[13:39] <caligarn> ikonia: when im in the irc channels it tells me im still online (as is the case with yahoo and AOL) when im actually not...
[13:39] <soundray> NIMBY: then you can use the nautilus file browser to copy stuff to /var/local/share and share the directory with samba etc.

[13:40] <pejo__-_-> oops
[13:40] <ikonia> caligarn: thats not really the endof the world is it
[13:40] <caligarn> ikonia: it might be just because im behind a weird firewall...cause im in asia.
[13:40] <caligarn> ikonia: no...but it can be a bit frustrating
[13:40] <ikonia> caligarn: possible, irc waits for discconnect
[13:40] <caligarn> ikonia: especially if im asking somboedy questions on irc and then i don't get a response and i dont know why
[13:40] <caligarn> ikonia: im patient though...

[13:42] <ubotu> aldair: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages : use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently - See also !Guidelines
[13:43] <caligarn> ikonia: i guess ill just wait for the 2.3 to get on the repos.
[13:43] <caligarn> thanks again

[13:44] <nicolah> how do I configure OSS ? (recording volume etc)
[13:44] <gordonjcp> lol OSS
[13:44] <gordonjcp> does anyone still use thaT?
[13:44] <gordonjcp> nicolah: sorry
[13:44] <nicolah> just old hardware
[13:45] <gordonjcp> nicolah: more seriously, is there a good reason why you're using OSS, and not something that's been supported in the last decade?
[13:45] <`Peter> I'm trying to reinstall ubuntu-xen-server on gutsy but it doesn't regenerate /boot/config-2.6.22-14-xen. Is there a way to do this?
[13:45] <nicolah> ok, I'll try alsa then
[13:45] <gordonjcp> OSS is dead and has been dead for ten years
[13:45] <nicolah> uhm ok
[13:45] <gordonjcp> really seriously ALSA is the way to go
[13:45] <soundray> gordonjcp: it just hasn't stopped moving yet
[13:45] <gordonjcp> unless you're using something like original Quake
[13:46] <gordonjcp> soundray: still smells just as bad as ever though
[13:47] <soundray> gordonjcp: in true dinosaur fashion ;)
[13:48] <him_> I have a question about openoffice 2.3 on Ubuntu 7.10...
[13:50] <soundray> him_: go on then
[13:50] <NIMBY> soundray thanks for your help :)
[13:50] <him_> okay..
[13:50] <soundray> NIMBY: did it help, though?
[13:51] <NIMBY> soundray sort-of :) but I think I would be happier if I resize the partition and then make a new one for my shared files
[13:52] <nicolah> should I use "alsamixer" or "sudo alsamixer" ?
[13:52] <Pici> nicolah: just alsamixer
[13:52] <nicolah> k
[13:53] <nicolah> is it normal that after raising up a volume, closing and reopening alsamixer it's raised down ?
[13:53] <harryv> hello. i downloaded the alternate cd and put it on a partition, and booted from there - this box doesn't have cdrom, neither floppy - using the kernel in 'install/'. when the installer starts it will not go further if it can't find a cd-drive. shouldn't i be able to install without!? i followed the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux
[13:53] <ikonia> nicolah: make sure you save it, not close it
[13:53] <soundray> NIMBY: well, you've got plenty of space for it. While you're at it, consider creating a separate /home as well. I suggest you still mount the new partition to /var/local/share. BTW, your swap is too big.
[13:53] <ikonia> harryv: yes, you should be able to
[13:53] <ikonia> harryv: thats a reasonably advanced technique
[13:53] <him_> thank you.  When I load in documents that I typed in word (Office XP) every works perfectly except when I try to modify the documents.  If I type after a note (the number for the footnote) the text remains small
[13:53] <tomcat-tc> hi
[13:53] <tomcat-tc> can anyone here help with a small problem?
[13:54] <tomcat-tc> i am unable to install cursor themes
[13:54] <tomcat-tc> i installed gcursor but when i click install cursor nothing happens
[13:54] <nicolah> ikonia: how do I save before quitting ?
[13:54] <NIMBY> soundray, I have not yet set the swap up, Im a linux noob and have been brainwashed by ms into needing huge amounts of swap space, I have 4gb ram so what would be the optimum swap size ?
[13:54] <ikonia> nicolah: it normally says on start up, it's crtl+x or something like that
[13:55] <soundray> NIMBY: 2GB would be plenty
[13:55] <ikonia> NIMBY 4gb ram
[13:55] <tomcat-tc> also i copied the theme in .icons but still no cursor
[13:55] <harryv> ikonia: well. it seems easy enough .. but, after i've choosen language it requires me to find and mount a cd drive ..
[13:55] <ikonia> NIMBY:if you want to suspect 4gb
[13:55] <ikonia> harryv: yes, thats correct.
[13:55] <harryv> ikonia: but the box do not have a cd drive ..
[13:55] <ikonia> harryv: so you can't mount one, you need to mount one remotly
[13:55] <NIMBY> ikonia suspect 4gb of what ?
[13:56] <nicolah> ikonia: should I press ctrl+x after editing stuff in alsamixer ?
[13:56] <ikonia> NIMBY suspend sorry
[13:56] <ubuntu_> italiabni ci siete?
[13:56] <soundray> NIMBY: ikonia is right -- if you want to be able to suspeND, you need a little more swap than you have in RAM.
[13:56] <ikonia> nicolah it may not be crtl+x
[13:56] <nicolah> ok
[13:56] <NIMBY> lol
[13:56] <omar> jrib: I did not find it
[13:56] <jrib> omar: ok, let me see
[13:57] <omar> jrib: Thanx
[13:57] <NIMBY> soundray I usually put my pc to sleep rather than shutting down, so does that affect how much swap space ?
[13:57] <ikonia> NIMBY: thats suspend
[13:57] <soundray> him_: little things like that can be annoying in OOo. I work around this issue by modifying the text after the footnote link
[13:58] <jfbramson> how do I register my nickname
[13:58] <soundray> NIMBY: yes. You need RAM times one plus a bit
[13:58] <ikonia> jfbramson: join #freenode for irc support
[13:58] <jfbramson> thanks ikonia
[13:58] <harryv> ikonia: mount remotly? i've got the alternate cd on /dev/sda2 .. but i can't bypass the cd-detection part.
[13:58] <jfbramson> is that a website
[13:58] <NIMBY> soundray so 8gb isnt that much too big then ?
[13:59] <ikonia> harryv how have you got a cdrom on /dev/sda without having a cdrom drive ?
[13:59] <ikonia> jfbramson: no a channel on irc
[13:59] <ikonia> jfbramson: typ2 "/join #freenode"
[13:59] <soundray> him_: for example if I have 'see footnote^123 and so on', I would click between the a and the n, to make the modification.
[13:59] <ikonia> jfbramson: type "/join #freenode"
[13:59] <BockBilbo> hello... im trying to remove the elements found on my lost+found folder of an ext3 partition, and when deleting them as root.. i get:  Operation not permitted ... anyone knows how to remove them?
[13:59] <w2_> hi
[13:59] <ciacon> hi all - I have some questions towards the restricted drivers - not about compiz or beryl though.... who can give me some advice??
[13:59] <harryv> ikonia: as i said, i simply followed this guide - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux - and moved the content of the alternate cd to that partition. so i'm booting up from that one.
[13:59] <NIMBY> soundray so resize that to 6gb ?
[13:59] <soundray> NIMBY: no. Maybe it's best to leave it as it is, since you're not short of space.
[14:00] <ikonia> harryv you'll need to mount it as a loop back drive then
[14:00] <MenZa> ciacon, state your question.
[14:00] <NIMBY> soundray I would have put linux on the 500gb but vista is hogging that until I can give it the elbow :)
[14:00] <ImP0steR> What's a friendly linux os for starters?
[14:01] <NIMBY> soundray I have yet to set the swap up, can you help me do that ?
[14:01] <ikonia> ImP0steR: ubuntu
[14:01] <ImP0steR> The regular one from the main site?
[14:01] <ikonia> NIMBY: if you have installed ubuntu you must have setup swap
[14:01] <ikonia> ImP0steR: yes
[14:01]  * aldair is Away, Reason: ( abs ) | Since: ( Tuesday, November 27, 2007. 13:40:15 ) Xlack v2.1
[14:01] <NIMBY> ikonia I chose not to at the time because I only had 12gb free on the vista drive, I have since moved linux to a 300gb
[14:01] <jrib> omar: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/106910
[14:01] <daning> Does ubuntu 7.10 defaultly support boardcom network card?
[14:02] <ciacon> MenZa: I have in the last few days had a bit of a hectic time with this box... anyways - before my probs started (which are not really related) I used to game tremulous (fps-game) @ 90fps... now it seems limited to 60... I thought that is a bit odd and is in fact limited in the game.. the interesting thing is, that glxgears gives me the exact same result... where can that problem hang??
[14:02] <ImP0steR> I see, thanks
[14:02] <ikonia> NIMBY I didn't think you could continue without swap in the installer
[14:02] <soundray> NIMBY: it should be set up, if you installed in the usual way.
[14:02] <him_> Hmmm,  since I am writing a book length manuscript that contains no-less than 150 notes per chapter that would be a killer.
[14:02] <soundray> him_: what would be a killer?
[14:02] <daning> ImP0steR:  ubuntu
[14:03] <harryv> ikonia: well. kinda tried to, but doing 'mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/installer -t ext3 -o loop' i get: "mount: Mounting /dev/sda2 on /mnt/installer/ failed: No such device". kinda rare,,
[14:03] <soundray> NIMBY: do a 'grep swap /etc/fstab', if that spits out a line, it's all set up.
[14:03] <ikonia> harryv: not really very rare, you can't mount a loop back file system like that
[14:03] <NIMBY> soundray I chose no swap during setup and because I moved it from the smaller partition there is no swap config'd yet, but when I was resizing (using gparted) I made the 8gb and formatted as linux_swap
[14:03] <soundray> him_: btw, for that kind of project, I would prefer LaTeX any time.
[14:04] <daning> broadcom network card.
[14:04] <ikonia> NIMBY: then swap is setup
[14:04] <harryv> ikonia: it does the same tryin to mount normalle. mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/installer -t ext3.
[14:04] <harryv> *normally
[14:04] <ciacon> MenZa: any clue??
[14:04] <oj> hey how do i list the mounted drives in cli ?
[14:04] <ikonia> harryv: thats not the right command
[14:04] <ikonia> oj: mount
[14:04] <harryv> oj: 'mount'
[14:04] <harryv> ikonia: what would the right command be? reading from the manual, it is..
[14:04] <soundray> NIMBY: okay. Have you got the device name of the swap partition? Find out with sudo fdisk -l
[14:04] <daning> Does ubuntu 7.10 have the drive for broadcom network card default.
[14:04] <ikonia> harryv: to mount it normally mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /mnt/installer
[14:05] <MenZa> ciacon, none whatsoever, sorry. It was more, you might have a better chance of getting an answer if you state your question :)
[14:05] <harryv> ikonia: doesn't matter - same error.
[14:05] <ikonia> harryv: ls -la /dev/sda2
[14:05] <NIMBY> soundray /dev/sdb2
[14:05] <harryv> brw-rw----   1 root    rooot
[14:06] <ikonia> harryv: so when you do "mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/install" you get exactly what error
[14:06] <uKKeMan> anyone here is a little bit familiar with amule? cause after forwarding every port i got a high id but kad is firewalled... the website tells me something about "preventing the port from being remapped" what does that mean and how can i achieve this with iptables?
[14:06] <ciacon> MenZa: basicly I was only wondering where that limit all of a sudden comes from... same box - same hardware... X6800EE @ 2,93ghz, 2gb ram, radeon x850xt
[14:06] <gallifante> hi, i have a little problem, i use ubuntu gutsy with spanish language, when i open a terminal some characteres like accent vocals or the ñ don't visualize correctly, why? :S
[14:06] <him_> Perhaps it is just my ignorance.. but I can only seem to get the text to look correct when i manually change the font...   My project is a Japanese History work.  I was surprised that the Japanese worked perfectly.
[14:06] <soundray> NIMBY: to make it usable, type 'sudo mkswap /dev/sdb2'. To add it automatically at boot, edit /etc/fstab and add a line like "/dev/sda2       none            swap    sw              0       0"
[14:06] <harryv> ikonia: mount: Mounting /dev/sda2 on /mnt/installer failed: Invalid argument
[14:06] <ikonia> harryv: and exactly what command did you use
[14:07] <harryv> ikonia: 'mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/installer'
[14:07] <soundray> NIMBY: alternatively, use blkid to find out the UUID of your swap and use that instead of /dev/sdb2 in fstab (more robust)
[14:07] <ikonia> harryv: your using ubuntu ?
[14:07] <harryv> yeah.
[14:07] <soundray> NIMBY: I meant, instead of /dev/sda2
[14:07] <harryv> or, well,
[14:07] <demco> does anyone have a copy of the most recent screenlets "Orb" control?  The screenlets.org server has been down for days
[14:08] <ikonia> harryv: what do you mean "or well"
[14:08] <harryv> ikonia: booting up from vmlinuz / initrd located in install/ at /dev/sda2, which is, in turn, populated by the content of the alternate cd.
[14:08]  * genii sips a coffee
[14:08] <zgmf-x20a> hey anyone on here using terminatorX?  installed it via synaptic, but where is it?  i.e, icon to launch??
[14:08] <NIMBY> soundray so I get --- /dev/sdb2: TYPE="swap" UUID="79871966-c9d7-4d8c-9b6f-24819932096e"
[14:08]  * soundray holds up his empty coffee mug
[14:08] <harryv> ikonia: i tried to do the same, using the desktop version. it got kinda stuck. starting up a X session, with nothin but a mouse pointer, and everything - including the terminal - being incredible slow. so tried this way round.
[14:08] <CyberMad> how to force my ubuntu to use 1024x768 resolution? because on windows xp the computer can use that screen resolution
[14:09] <soundray> NIMBY: is that after you ran mkswap?
[14:09] <soundray> !fixres | cybermad
[14:09] <ubotu> cybermad: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[14:09] <NIMBY> soundray yes I ran mkswap 1st
[14:09] <ikonia> harryv: I'll be honest, what your saying doesn't make sense
[14:09] <CyberMad> thanks

[14:10] <AuraithX> Hello - Does anyone know how to reduce the file of a ISO file (turn into cue?) on ubuntu
[14:10] <soundray> NIMBY: to make it usable, type 'sudo mkswap /dev/sdb2'. "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" and add "UUID=79871966-c9d7-4d8c-9b6f-24819932096e      none            swap    sw              0       0"
[14:10] <AuraithX> *reduce the size
[14:10] <harryv> ikonia: ok. i did exactly what this guide says to do: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux - using the Alternate iso instead of the Desktop-iso, and booting up using vmlinuz/initrd located in the 'install' directory of the alternate cd.
[14:10] <ikonia> harryv the fact that mount isn't working suggests something else is very wwrong
[14:11] <unique311> any reason why flash doesn't pick up my built in camera while running linux.
[14:11] <unique311> but in windows it does
[14:11] <soundray> NIMBY: oops, what have I done
[14:11] <unique311> is it a flash for linux limitation
[14:11] <soundray> NIMBY: "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" and add "UUID=79871966-c9d7-4d8c-9b6f-24819932096e      none            swap    sw              0       0"
[14:11] <frosgate> Hi everyone.  I'm running into an interesting problem.  I made a few changes to fstab this morning, and it didn't do what I wanted it to do.  So I reverted to a backup of the original fstab.  Now, when I boot up my computer, fsck is erroring.  It is reporting that it is unable to check /dev/sda1 because it is already mounted (an error 8), and dropping me to a root shell.  What do I need to do to fix this?
[14:11] <harryv> supposedly .. oh well, i'll revamp my debian-installation .. that'd at least install. :/
[14:12] <zombie_monkey> when I switch to tty1 I get http://pastebin.com/m1253ca37 - that's normal, I guess, but what can I do about it?
[14:12] <NIMBY> soundray is it correct that the fstab comes up blank ?
[14:12] <soundray> NIMBY: no
[14:13] <gordonjcp> NIMBY: a blank fstab is generally not a good thing
[14:13] <NIMBY> soundray is ok now I was in the wrong dir
[14:13] <soundray> NIMBY: make sure you give the full path '/etc/fstab'
[14:13] <AuraithX> anyone know how to reduce the filesize of a iso file on ubuntu? :(
[14:13] <soundray> AuraithX: gzip it
[14:13] <him_> thankyou
[14:13] <hellhouse> hey guys, do you know what am I going to do now?

[14:14] <dwxreaper> what is the url where i can grab a single file from an ubuntu package
[14:15] <SoulChild> what is env-update for and what does source /etc/profile do ?
[14:15] <ikonia> SoulChild: it sources environment cariables for the profile file
[14:15] <soundray> SoulChild: ask one question at a time to improve response
[14:15] <ikonia> SoulChild: that should read variables
[14:15] <dwmyers> Soulchild: source runs commands in a file as if you typed them in.
[14:16] <ikonia> dwmyers: no it doesn';t
[14:16] <scottpc> Does anyone here have any experience with printing through OpenOffice?  I have a wierd one...  My HP OfficeJet 6210 prints just fine, but for some reason - only with OpenOffice, my Brother Fax4100 doesn't print.  It prints from Firefox and everything else just fine - and I've tried the google search results for resolving the problem - but still no resolution.
[14:16] <ikonia> scottpc brother printers lack open printing support
[14:16] <dwmyers> Ikonia: odd, because it sure does in the shells I've run. source is equivalent to #include in the 'c' language.
[14:16] <dwxreaper> what is the url where i can grab a single file from an ubuntu package
[14:16] <scottpc> I got the driver from the Brother website...
[14:17] <NIMBY> soundray it has # Entry for /dev/sdb2 :
[14:17] <NIMBY> UUID=72B424DDB424A597 /media/sdb2 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_GB.UTF-8 0 1 there at the moment shoudl I just add that line you link below that ?
[14:17] <ikonia> dwmyers including a file is not the running of commands
[14:17] <dwxreaper> i'm looking for the README that came with a package, but i can't find it. searching for "fine / -name README" or find / -name packagename
[14:17] <soundray> NIMBY: no, something is wrong
[14:17] <scottpc> So I might as well just write my documents in HTML then, right?  lol
[14:17] <ikonia> scottpc errr what ?
[14:18] <soundray> NIMBY: can you run 'sudo fdisk -l', copy the output to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and give me the URL pls
[14:18] <dwmyers> Ikonia: I jkust tested. You're wrong. Make a file with the single line 'echo "Hello!' and source it.
[14:18] <soundray> NIMBY: paste the fstab as well while you're at it ;)
[14:18] <ikonia> dwmyers: yes of course as thats sourcing a command
