[08:36] <sonoblaise> pluma: Mmm..  you can log as the root and modify your user account...
[08:36] <jschall> i wonder how many of those 800 pieces of malware wikipedia claims there are for linux are just variations of the obfuscated rm -rf /
[08:37] <pluma> sonoblaise: the problem is still the same: I can not log in because it puts my screen in a blender. Other users work, /etc/X11 seems irrelevant, ~/.gnome, .gnome2 and .gconf are also ignored
[08:37] <pluma> or rather, irrelevant to the issue
[08:37] <randomwalker> djolefol, i just wandered in here, what's the problem again?
[08:38] <sonoblaise> pluma: sorry I can't help... i'm pretty new with linux and not the answer king yet ;)  I guess I was lucky with my hardware config
[08:38] <pluma> sonoblaise: I know, but I don't want to delete the home folder as ultima rasa, so I have no idea where to look
[08:38] <srx2002> I dont see  add remove hardware anywhere
[08:38] <sonoblaise> srx2002:  in the application menu, go to add/remove software and install the Device Manager
[08:39] <sonoblaise> mmaybe it can help
[08:39] <apecat> srx2002: but perhaps you don't need it (the hardware manager). what do you need to do?
[08:39] <arun_> actually how is this chat configured?who are those people answering?its pretty much useful.
[08:39] <sonoblaise> inyourgroove: I installed the packages you told me, but totem dont seem to be able to load DVD anyway
[08:40] <problemmaker> pluma, xrandr --output <identifier> --mode 1280x1024
[08:40] <djolefol> randomwalker: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79193/
[08:40] <Kartagis> I've got the errors on http://rafb.net/p/WV6Tep19.html and my question is, can I get my sound to work without rebooting?
[08:40] <pluma> problemmaker: are you sure this is how you change the USER settings?
[08:40] <spartanii117> sonoblaise: he's looking online
[08:41] <pluma> problemmaker: Also what would <identifier> be then?
[08:41] <srx2002> apecat: I just want to view info about cpu, memory, vid card, sound, etc...
[08:41] <problemmaker> pluma, ...not really get 'user' you mean
[08:41] <apecat> arun_: we're just random people on irc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat
[08:41] <sonoblaise> spartanii117: euh..  thanks!  how do you know what he's doing btw?
[08:41] <apecat> srx2002: ok, then you may want the hardware manager
[08:41] <inyourgroove> sonoblaise: in terminal type "sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugin*"
[08:41] <arun_> what is the differencebetween linux and unix?
[08:41] <jschall> why do i have to accept a license to install java from the repo? i thought java was gpled.
[08:41] <spartanii117> sonoblaise: he's sitting right next to me
[08:42] <sonoblaise> haha, I see!  thanks :p
[08:42] <problemmaker> pluma, type xrandr --verbose. it will list the identifier# such as 0xc7
[08:42] <pluma> problemmaker: the login prompt and everything is fine, it's only ONE user account which has furbled settings
[08:42] <randomwalker> djolefol, not sure, did windows shut down properly?
[08:42] <AND_1> semarang
[08:42] <srx2002> apecat: and how do I get that
[08:42] <randomwalker> if it didn't, the partition won't mount
[08:42] <randomwalker> ntfs mounting is pretty flaky, unfortunately
[08:42] <randomwalker> that's my experience anyway
[08:42] <pluma> problemmaker: i.e. the screen resolution is too great in that user's setting and hence I can't see anything when I log in.
[08:43] <djolefol> Okey, Thanks. I understand. That has to be checked.
[08:43] <inyourgroove> pluma: you  might want to try and delte or rename your .Xauthority
[08:43] <jschall> arun_: that's something you could easily find on wikipedia. linux is designed to be unix-like.
[08:44] <sonoblaise> srx2002:  question out of the subject...  is SRX for the JBL speakers?
[08:44] <pluma> inyourgroove: Where's that?
[08:44] <pluma> inyourgroove: ~/.Xauthority does not exist
[08:44] <inyourgroove> pluma: hm...
[08:44] <PUNISHER> hi, men!

[08:45] <omar> My friend has successfully installed " wicd " from a .deb, but when he clicks on it, nothing happens. Any help please?
[08:45] <sonoblaise> inyourgroove:  that thing still dont work..  totem loads and exits right away..
[08:45] <arun_> when i type su and give password in terminal it says authentication failed .why?
[08:45] <srx2002> sonoblaise: no..sorry snowmobile
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> arun_: use sudo -i instead
[08:45] <spartanii117> sonoblaise: re.ove .totem
[08:45] <jschall> PUNISHER: ahh the internet, where the men are men, the women are men too. the children are male FBI agents.
[08:45] <ardchoille> !sudo | arun_ We use sudo
[08:45] <inyourgroove> sonoblaise: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Playing%20Encrypted%20DVDs
[08:46] <sonoblaise> srx2002:  I hope they are as good as the JBL srx ;)
[08:46] <arun_> sudo is working ...but su not working
[08:46] <jschall> arun_: use sudo su
[08:46] <jschall> arun_: if you have to use su
[08:46] <PUNISHER> jschall: Sorry, if I was wrong. I'm learning english still
[08:46] <sonoblaise> inyourgroove: I tried to open totem and drag the DVD in it and now  it say that I need Nautilus desktop to open it
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> arun_: you'd need sudo su, but sudo -i is advised
[08:46] <srx2002> lol
[08:47] <jschall> PUNISHER: oh
[08:47] <jschall> PUNISHER: i was joking
[08:47] <arun_> why -i?
[08:47] <methods> what package do i install to get lua headers available to my build scripts?
[08:47] <jschall> arun_: man sudo
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> arun_: interactive, i'm just passing on what the ops tell folks
[08:47] <omar> My friend has successfully installed " wicd " from a .deb, but when he clicks on it, nothing happens. Any help please?
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> arun_: you should just sudo each command
[08:48] <inyourgroove> sonoblaise: i have no idea what you are trying yo do....
[08:48] <koshari> how come /home/user/bin/mtscript is not in the default path in 8.10?
[08:48] <PUNISHER> jschall: can you explante me it ?
[08:48] <jschall> arun_: -i runs a shell, it basically does the same thing su does
[08:48] <benoka> hello
[08:48] <benoka> can anyone answer my thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6283058
[08:49] <pluma> That did nothing.
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> koshari: add it, weird place to put binarys but its possible
[08:49] <jschall> PUNISHER: hard to explain
[08:49] <H5N1> hi
[08:49] <PUNISHER> jschall: can you explain me it ?
[08:49] <inyourgroove> sonoblaise: you might want to install VLC
[08:49] <koshari> ActionParsnip where do you place your user scripts?
[08:49] <srx2002> the synaptic manager tells me I have compiz fusion installed, however I have no idea where to access it
[08:49] <z-hermes> ?
[08:49] <pluma> In fact, xrandr run from the shell bitches about there being no display available, probably because it's run from tty1 rather than GNOME
[08:49] <srx2002> suggestions?
[08:50] <koshari> ActionParsnip oh and how do you add it?
[08:50] <PUNISHER> jschall: how I must calls your?
[08:50] <sonoblaise> inyourgroove: I just want to play a DVD...  I opened totem and dragged the DVD icon in it and instead of just closing (before i just right clicked the DVD and did Open with Video Player) it told me that I needed the NAUTILUS-DESKTOP thing
[08:50] <pluma> So if anyone new happens to be around: How do I change a single user's resolution via the command line (as with System->Preferences->Screen Resolution)

[08:50] <simplexio> benoka: intresting.. btoh eth1 and wlan0 are in same subnet but with different ipaddress
[08:50] <sonoblaise> srx2002: look for Compiz Config in the add/remove software
[08:51] <PUNISHER> jschall: how I should calls your?
[08:51] <jschall> PUNISHER: a more correct greeting would have just been "hello," but formalities are unnecessary in this irc channel.
[08:51] <arun_> what is bash?
[08:51] <simplexio> benoka: annd default gw is on eth1.. drop eth1 down and add route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS> dev wlan0
[08:51] <hom____> oui é
[08:51] <jschall> PUNISHER: what is your first language?
[08:52] <simplexio> benoka: maybe after that it work only using wlan0
[08:52] <inyourgroove> sonoblaise: what you dragged is actually a .desktop file, you can't open the dvd that way
[08:52] <arun_> after a program is installed is there any way to run it from terminal from the home?
[08:52] <sonoblaise> oh... damn

[08:53] <inyourgroove> sonoblaise: as far as i know libdvdcss2 should have done it
[08:53] <jschall> PUNISHER: you may want to try #ubuntu-ru as well, although there won't be as many people there.
[08:53] <benoka> simplexio: this is what I'm explaining in my thread, if I drop eth1, it connects but no internet
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> szonek: are you using wpa?
[08:53] <szonek> ActionParsnip yes

[08:53] <benoka> simplexio: my goal is tu use wlan0
[08:53] <dmay> screamsayonara: try to use <tab> when print cd /home/... for autocomplete
[08:53] <benoka> simplexio: as it's faster

[09:00] <j0nr> i installed proftpd, and its default behaviour is to allow me to log in via an ftp client with my user account and see the whole content of my root directory. How could I stop this and limit is to just seeing one particular directory? thanks
[09:01] <tgj> thats good to know j0nr

[09:02] <tgj> i need qt-mt

[09:19] <shyam_k> how can i get inkscape with all its dependencies under apt on cd so that i can smoothly install it on my other computer without net?>
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> tgj: all i can think is to apt-get install what it moans of instead of apt trying to install in the normal way. no idea whats causing this. you may have to spoonfeed for a while
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> tgj: or find debs of what it needs
[09:20] <srx2002> I have to say..I'm liking the ubuntu...I'm glad I got rid of windows
[09:20] <tgj> it looks like it is libgnutls26 that is causing the problem is there a way to reinstall it?
[09:20] <troublemaker> ActionParsnip, excuse me... how long will the pasted text lasts
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> shyam_k: copy the debs over from the system that is connected to the web, then sudo dpkg -i /path/to/*.deb
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> troublemaker: couple days usually
[09:20] <tgj> or uninstall it so that it reinstalls when i install mt-qt?

[09:22] <shyam_k`> ActionParsnip: the system with inkscape installed dont have its deb in archives!!
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> shyam_k`: then use apt-get to pull it down again but not install and copy over the files
[09:23] <shyam_k`> otherwise if i download inkscape.deb from the site, or debian site, i would have to go on research on its dependencies!

[09:25] <Mud> morning guys
[09:26] <shyam_k`> ActionParsnip: what could be the reason that there is no deb file in archives though i have a successfully working inkscape?

[09:26] <Dabbu1> ActionParsnip: /dev/scd0: block special
[09:26] <Mud> ^^
[09:26] <Mud> Is it nessacery to run a firewall on ubuntu server?
[09:26] <shyam_k`> ActionParsnip: may be.. thanks:)
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> Dabbu1: ok thats cool, sudo umount -a
[09:26] <Mud> I want to host a ubuntu server @ a datacenter
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> Mud: 9:26am here
[09:27] <PUNISHER> mud: I have 12:26 pm
[09:27] <troublemaker> sunshine, more specific?
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> !firewall | mud
[09:27] <Mud> hmmz
[09:27] <Mud> since when is that?
[09:28] <Mud> I dont see it by default on 8.04 server
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> Mud: since always, iptables is always there, just unconfigured it don't do much
[09:28] <Mud> What is the default policy of iptables?
[09:28] <Mud> just enable all traffic?
[09:29] <PUNISHER> Mud: all allow
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> Mud: default is pretty much allow all, you can configure it with firestarter
[09:29] <Dabbu1> ActionParsnip:  u there ?
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> Dabbu1: sup
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> Dabbu1: did sudo umount -a mount the disk?
[09:29] <Mud> and firestarter works perfectly with ubuntu server?
[09:30] <Mud> I dont want to use a gui ;)
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> Mud: orks with any ubuntu system
[09:30] <Lasse> test
[09:30] <Mud> oki :)
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> Mud: firestarter is a gui app to iptables
[09:30] <Mud> aha
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> Mud: run man iptables and you can see the commands for adding new rules
[09:30] <Dabbu1>  ActionParsnip: no
[09:30] <ChrisDavaz> I can't find the packages uqm-voice and uqm-music. The repositories pointed to by /usr/share/doc/uqm-content/README.Debian seem to be broken. Could anyone help?
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> Dabbu1: does it mount if you reboot?
[09:31] <Mud> thanx ActionParsnip :)
[09:31] <rblst> if i print a PDF file, the output is scrambled/enlarged; this only goes for PDF, the printer used to work fine, i have a 8.04 with the latest updates
[09:31] <Dabbu1> ActionParsnip: i dont want to reboot
[09:31] <Dabbu1> ActionParsnip: earlier there was no problem,,,but now it has stopped mounting...i m hosting a http and jsp server i can't reboot now
[09:31] <Mud> I have only experience with ubuntu servers and desktops behind a firewall ;) and google didnt say much :P
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> Dabbu1: what does: file /media/cdrom0 output?
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> Mud: try www.ask.com
[09:32] <Dabbu1> ActionParsnip: directory
[09:32] <c0nfl|ct>  bom dia
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> Dabbu1: ok well the device exists and the mountpoint exists, you have a winner
[09:33] <troublemaker> hello, can anybody tell why my text typed in this room (and my name) is gray? did i miss something?
[09:33] <Mud> I hate google these days btw, search engine isnt that good anymore :P
[09:33] <rblst> if i print any PDF file, the output is scrambled/enlarged; this only goes for PDF; the printer used to work fine (i have an Ubuntu 8.04 with the latest updates)
[09:33] <Dabbu1> ActionParsnip: what ?
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> Dabbu1: try this: sudo mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> Mud: i use multiple search engines, gets more results due to each using different search methods
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> Dabbu1: when you mount a device (like cd roms) you mount them to a mount point (folder), if the device is visiable and the mount point exists then you should be able to mount
[09:35] <Dabbu1>  ActionParsnip: thanks that worked...but why this problem occured ?
[09:35] <vecam> hello, I have installed ubuntu intrepid, but I have a problem installing my wirelss card,  Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01), I downloaded the driver and installed it, but after I updated the system packages, the wireless card disappeared
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> Dabbu1: no idea, keep an eye on it
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> Dabbu1: maybe its a one off
[09:36] <Dabbu1> ActionParsnip: one more problem..my web cam was easily detected by cheese in 8.04 but in 8.10 it doesn't detect ?
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> !webcam | Dabbu1
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> Dabbu1: i dont use webcams. i think they are creepy
[09:37] <Dabbu1> ActionParsnip: ok....
[09:37] <troublemaker> ....creepy?
[09:38] <LasseFolkersen> Hello. Can anybody help me with the following problem: I have installed Ubuntu on my ASUS L4500R laptop. I have kept my old windows XP system on another partition as well. Selection of operating system is done with the default method ("GRUB"?). When "arriving" at GRUB from a restart of either windows XP or ubuntu, I can select and start the 2.6.24-22-generic Ubuntu without problems. However,...
[09:38] <LasseFolkersen> ...when starting "cold" (from a turned off computer) it hangs forever at "Starting up...". When removing splash screen and quiet options I can see that the last printout is "ACPI: Using PIC for interrupt routing". Any suggestions?
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> troublemaker: yeah like 13 year old kids and old geezers peering in. thats all i think when i hear webcam. voyeur is a bit sick to me
[09:38] <rblst> if i print any PDF file, the output is scrambled/enlarged; this only goes for PDF; the printer used to work fine (i have an Ubuntu 8.04 with the latest updates)
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> troublemaker: mic is ok as its a cheap phonecall
[09:39] <troublemaker> ActionParsnip, is that so risky
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> rblst: remove the pdf printer then reinstall
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> troublemaker: just makes my skin crawl
[09:39] <troublemaker> ActionParsnip, .... ok :)
[09:40] <rblst> ActionParsnip: i have reinstalled the printer to no avail
[09:41] <lat> Calling all LAN experts. Here is a diagram of what I'm wanting to do: http://www.dayspringpublisher.com/temp/network.pdf  Can someone recommend a website or book that explains how to do this clearly and with examples?
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> rblst: thats all i can suggest, maybe someone else knows
[09:41] <rblst> ActionParsnip: okay, thanks
[09:41] <troublemaker> hi room, it's time to back home, bye
[09:42] <yaris123456789> i installed ubuntu from vista, and uninstalled it. then i install it again today.  now when i start my computer, there is boot to Windows, and two Xubuntu options....i tried both of them, and it only shows a command shell, and nothing else will load....windows still works :(
[09:42] <sloopy> ActionParsnip, i dont blame you i dont care much for webcams either... i keep thinking someone is watching me... (no i am not paranoid at all ;´)
[09:42] <Mud> ActionParsnip: I found this page > http://www.savvyadmin.com/ubuntus-ufw/ \o/
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> lat: you'll need this on the central ubuntu box: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router
[09:43] <Joe_> someone have a few minutes to help me try and debug, seemingly, random hard locks in 8.04 (also was present in 7.10).  I have theories but logs do not seem to support them
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> lat: why not make life easier and attatch the switch to a port on the wireless router
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> lat: then you dont have a complex setup at all
[09:44] <Mark> Hullo. I'm about to install Ubuntu on a fresh 400Gb SATA drive. Could someone please explain what the optimal partition setup would be, particuarly with respect to where to put /, /boot, home and so on?
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> Mark: depends what the system is for
[09:45] <Mark> ActionParsnip : Desktop usage, and I'll probably use Gimp a fair bit so I'd like that to run as well as possible.
[09:46] <vecam> hello, there was a fancy package I forgot it's name, it adds an application bar with lightening icons
[09:46] <lat> ActionParsnip, ok. Is there a good web page for doing that simpler setup?
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> Mark: so few apps but lots of user data sounds good to me
[09:46] <shingie> I would suggest that you put /home on a different partition incase you might want to reinstall operating system in the near future
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> lat: no need, just attatch a port on the switch to a lan port on the router and it will give you the ports, the routers dhcp will spread to all clients
[09:47] <benoka> simplexio: what do I do with this file? /etc/networks/interfaces
[09:47] <shoot^> hey guys. Having some issues with Ubuntu Server, namely system crashes. The system just halts random - sometimes after hours, sometimes after days.... never when I'm using it. /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages don't seem to have any clues - nothing unusual is logged - they just stop printing - Mark - around the time of the crash, and log the boot procedure of the reboot. It happened on Hardy, so I tried an upgrade to Ibex, but still no joy. Any troubl
[09:47] <Mark> ActionParsnip : - I'm a terrible one for trying stuff out though, so it's possible I'd add various apps. I wonder if I should prepare a second instalation just to mess about in?
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> lat: only mildly taxing bit is sharing the printer
[09:47] <benoka> simplexio: ...to setup fixed IP
[09:47] <sloopy> mark, i have a 500GB sata hd and i partitioned it 20gig / , 2gig swap, rest for /home , works well
[09:47] <Mark> shingie: `That sounds like a good suggestion, I'll keep it in mind, thanks.
[09:47] <yaris123456789> i installed ubuntu from vista, and uninstalled it. then i install it again today.  now when i start my computer, there is boot to Windows, and two Xubuntu options....i tried both of them, and it only shows a command shell, and nothing else will load....windows still works :(
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> Mark: then give yourself slightly more space for / and less for /home (use seperate partition for /home makes backup easier)
[09:47] <Syrre> hmm ... is there any "need to have" programs ? =P ... tried gDesklets, screenlets and google apps out, but now i need to get something else =P
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> Syrre: tilda is good
[09:48] <lat> ActionParsnip, thanks. I'll try and see what happens.
[09:48] <Mark> sloopy: I see. I'm partly thinking of keeping some of the drive for NTFS storage
[09:48] <loller> can somebody tell text editor supporting socket API? help
[09:48] <yaris123456789> i installed ubuntu from vista, and uninstalled it. then i install it again today.  now when i start my computer, there is boot to Windows, and two Xubuntu options....i tried both of them, and it only shows a command shell, and nothing else will load....windows still works :(

[09:48] <Syrre> thx ActionParsnip ... iĺl look into it
[09:48] <FloodBot2> yaris123456789: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> yaris123456789: check your grub config
[09:49] <yaris123456789> how
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> yaris123456789: does startx do anything?
[09:49] <sloopy> Mark, i use virtual box for windows xp, works well
[09:49] <yaris123456789> no
[09:49] <yaris123456789> nothing
[09:49] <Mark> ActionParsnip : So when you say more or less space, what kind of figures are we talking about? 2 gigs as opposed to 50 gigs or what?
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> yaris123456789: and DONT repeat youorself with large bodies of text. Its THE BEST way to get banned
[09:49] <yaris123456789> it just shows Start Windows Vista, Xubuntu, Xubuntu
[09:49] <Mark> sloopy : *notes* I'll have to look into that.
[09:49] <yaris123456789> ActionParsnip: sry
[09:50] <yaris123456789> ActionParsnip: but im kinda in a hurry
[09:50] <LasseFolkersen> Hello again. Can anybody help me with the following problem: I have installed Ubuntu on my ASUS L4500R laptop. I have kept my old windows XP system on another partition as well. Selection of operating system is done with the default method ("GRUB"?). When "arriving" at GRUB from a restart of either windows XP or ubuntu, I can select and start the 2.6.24-22-generic Ubuntu without problems....
[09:50] <LasseFolkersen> ...However, when starting "cold" (from a turned off computer) it hangs forever at "Starting up...". When removing splash screen and quiet options I can see that the last printout is "ACPI: Using PIC for interrupt routing". Any suggestions?
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> Mark: I'd say 50Gb for /, double your ram amount for /swp and the rest for home
[09:50] <yaris123456789> so should i install xubuntu again ? such a pain
[09:50] <Syrre> ActionParsnip: got any more nice little programs that "i" just gotta have ?
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> yaris123456789: no, does startx do anything in the prompt after you log in as yourself?
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> Syrre: depends what you do on your pc
[09:51] <yaris123456789> that command is not available
[09:51] <yaris123456789> i can't login because it never asks
[09:51] <sloopy> mark, also there are fs drivers for windows to access ext2 partitions so using the /home for space in windows is a possibility
[09:51] <Mark> ActionParsnip: ok, so 50Gb for/, 4Gb swp, 100 gigs for /home ... what about /boot ?
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> yaris123456789: try /etc/init.d/gdm start
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> Mark: boot can hangout on /
[09:51] <yaris123456789> ActionParsnip: donno i think something wrong with installation
[09:51] <Mark> ActionParsnip:  right you are. Ok, thanks for that! :)
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> yaris123456789: well you need to try stuff first
[09:51] <yaris123456789> ActionParsnip: kinda weird there is 2 bootable xubuntu menus on start
[09:52] <Syrre> ActionParsnip: well ... uhm ... a little bit of this, and a little bit of that ... i cant be more precise .... hehe
[09:52] <yaris123456789> ActionParsnip: also when i go into menu, all the words are jumbled up into weird symbols
[09:52] <vecam> guys, what packages could be used to get a user impressed to use ubuntu
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> yaris123456789: then sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.list to see whats going on
[09:52] <Mark> sloopy : oo, interesting.
[09:52] <NewNew> how big is ubuntu straight after install from livecd?
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> vecam: compiz wows the fools quite easily
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> NewNew: about 2gb
[09:53] <Rajit> anyone tried intrepid?
[09:53] <NewNew> ActionParsnip: thanks
[09:53] <sunshine> 3G
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> Rajit: yeah
[09:53] <shingie> I am running Intrepid
[09:53] <Rajit> hows it?
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> Rajit: works ok here
[09:53] <Mark> ActionParsnip : 50 gigs for / sounds a bit massive to me. Surely I could get away with a lot less?
[09:53] <sloopy> vecam, run it on a P3 1Ghz cpu with 512mg of ram and show how it runs about as fast as a P4 2.8Ghz with vista
[09:53] <shingie> Rajit: no problems
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> Rajit: but my hardware is very linux friendly :)
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> Mark: then use less
[09:54] <Mark> ActionParsnip: Or would it appreciate that much space for tmp stuff. Ah ok, Will do.
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> Mark: mines 10Gb but i chat and browse the web
[09:54] <Mark> Hokay, cheers peeps. I'll go get on with it.
[09:54] <Syrre> ActionParsnip: tilda was actually pretty nice, dropdown terminals is allways "nifty" =P
[09:54] <Mark> ActionParsnip: I see. Right oh.
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> Mark: you'd probably get away with 30Gb without issue
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> Syrre: yeah, beats having to hunt for terminal amongst your windows, the kde equiv is yakuake
[09:56] <sloopy> Mark, on my machine i have both gnome and kde installed with alot of other stuff  (i use gnome, mrs uses kde) and my 20gig / is only 30% filled
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> he's gone
[09:56] <sloopy> ActionParsnip, oh well... the days of cheap disk are here... so it isnt a big deal
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> sloopy: true
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> Syrre: what do you use your system for to what must have apps you should get
[09:57] <Syrre> ActionParsnip: do you happen to know if  there is any proggys similar to the desklets and screenlets ? ... been looking for ages, but i cant seem to find one that "sticks" ... or perhaps something i or anyone for that matter cant live without =P
[09:57] <Syrre> lets see
[09:57] <sloopy> i bought 2 500GB sata drives last spring, on still sits around waiting to be used
[09:57] <sloopy> s/on still/one still/
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> Syrre: you can make screenlets reappear by adding a script to run the python code for each screenlet you want
[09:57] <nimbus> anyone suffering from ATI+compiz problems?
[09:58] <benoka> what's the difference in interfaces setup between "address" and "network" and what is "broadcast" - windows has no such options
[09:58] <sloopy> nimbus, no, sold my soul to the devil and got an nvidia card...
[09:58] <nimbus> That is what I should have done.
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> benoka: address is your ip address, network is the address of the network and broadcast is the broadcast address
[09:58] <nimbus> But nooooo they said "ATI WORKS BETTAR WITH AMd!!!"
[09:58] <nimbus> So I went along with it
[09:59] <coldhak> i accidentally cat'ed one of my executables. now my terminal is screwed up. anybody know how i can fix it?
[09:59] <sloopy> benoka, windows has it just hides it...
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> benoka: e.g. <IP_ADDRESS>/24 is address <IP_ADDRESS> network <IP_ADDRESS> broadcast <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:59] <sloopy> coldhak, type ´clear´ and return
[09:59] <werdnum> How do I go back from proprietary nvidia drivers to the inbuilt X 'nv' drivers?
[09:59] <nimbus> now I have to turn off compiz to watch a movie or play a game.
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> nimbus: compiz is good at breaking stuff
[10:00] <nimbus> If I don't, the movies flicker and the game crashes the interval of time the screensaver comes on.
[10:00] <vecam> sloopy, nice, but usually users got impress on graphical animation and effects, I can't remember that package name to that creates a taskbar with dancy icons
[10:00] <nimbus> yes I am now experiencing that!
[10:00] <Syrre> ActionParsnip: mostly converting videos and/or burning some dvd:s .... running tovid GUI now since brasero don't want to "play" with me ... hmmmm ... some surfing and some games .... doing different things each day ^^ ... ah, yup the screenlets reappearing thingy, i got that one figured out, but thx anyways m8 =P
[10:00] <nimbus> I am a recent Windows convert.
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> Syrre: devede is pretty decent
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> !info devede
[10:00] <AdvoWork> whats the -? for rysnc for copying only new/different files?
[10:01] <coldhak> sloopy: the prompt is messed up.
[10:01] <AdvoWork> -u ?
[10:01] <coldhak> that doesn't fix it.
[10:01] <coldhak> when i type it's screwed up too. nothing displays properly
[10:01] <sloopy> vecam, yeah i am more impressed by a result coming fast then a result with sugar on it... i left mac os because of the visual sugar (cant take it i am diabetic ;´)
[10:01] <ramon> what other command i can use beside apt-get clean to free some space in the hard drive?
[10:01] <Syrre> ActionParsnip: really ? ... installed it the other day, but i havnt tried it out yet
[10:01] <nimbus> I figure linux is a temperamental exotic car and windows is a camry.
[10:01] <schone> hi all
[10:01] <sloopy> coldhak, you typed the chars ´clear´ and then hit return?
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> Syrre: its what i use, otherwise i cant suggest anything...snow plugin for compiz is festive ;)
[10:02] <nimbus> I expect to have more exiting computer quirks in my life from now on.
[10:02] <coldhak> sloopy, i'm a linux newb, not an idiot. yes.
[10:02] <schone> i have three mounted internal hard drives, i want to format them, whats the best way to do this?
[10:02] <sloopy> coldhak, doesnt matter how the machine displays it
[10:02] <coldhak> i typed "clear\n"
[10:02] <Syrre> ActionParsnip: haha, gotta try that one, gotten bored with the "water" effect
[10:02] <aftertaf> schone: depends on your linux level..... id go for gparted
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> schone: mk2fs -J /dev/<partition name>
[10:02] <coldhak> problem isn't fixed. i tried clearing first.
[10:02] <schone> k cool after
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> schone: this will destroy all data on the partition so make sure you get the right one
[10:02] <sloopy> coldhak, err sorry try ´reset´
[10:03] <coldhak> perfect, that did it :)
[10:03] <vecam> sloopy, hehe, personally, I like xfce because of the lack of effects, but low end users do like animation, after beryl project, 70% of my users started migration to ubuntu
[10:04]  * werdnum is busily removing nvidia drivers because he doesn't need the effects, but does need to be able to suspend to RAM.
[10:04] <sloopy> coldhak, sry some days i still live in the days of SunOS ;´)
[10:04] <benoka> ActionParsnip: sloopy: suppose I have a router of <IP_ADDRESS> and I want to set address to :<IP_ADDRESS> where I know Broadcast is <IP_ADDRESS> and Mask <IP_ADDRESS> - but what is network?
[10:04] <nimbus> wouldn't removing nvidia drivers make your life hard?
[10:04] <nimbus> I yanked the ATi drivers for a time and I got the "green screen"
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> benoka: <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> benoka: you dont really have to put them in the interfaces file, the subnet mask allows the system to work it out
[10:05] <vecam> hoha .. guys what is the name of this package http://www.silverwingsonline.com/ubuntu1.jpg
[10:05] <werdnum> nimbus: Worked fine before them, just need them for effects.
[10:05] <nimbus> really? what do you gain by removing them?
[10:06] <sloopy> benoka, network is <IP_ADDRESS>/16
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> sloopy: <IP_ADDRESS> is a class c so its /24
[10:07] <sloopy> ActionParsnip, yeah i need to pay attention, i am at work...
[10:07] <nimbus> vecam, might be the cairodock
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> hehe me too ;)
[10:07] <nbeebo> i cant see conky when i run it with this config: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79229/ does anyone know why?
[10:07] <Kate_344> Hello , does it possible to extract tar file without the folders path ? (all the files will be extract to 1 folder ) i try'ed to look at the "man tar" but i cant find it
[10:08] <sloopy> well my replacement is here so time to put laptop away...
[10:08] <sloopy> tnite all
[10:08] <vecam> nimbus, thank you .. I can't remember it's name, but the name cairodock seems strange a bit
[10:08] <benoka> ActionParsnip: sloopy: thank you guys, will try this!!
[10:08] <nimbus> I might be wrong.
[10:08] <vecam> nimbus, is it apt-able ?
[10:09] <chilli0> hello all
[10:09] <chilli0> i just delted windows
[10:09] <chilli0> yay
[10:09] <nbeebo> how come my conkey doesnt show?
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> nbeebo: do you have a ~/.conkyrc file?
[10:09] <chilli0> but there is an unalcated partion
[10:09] <chilli0> how do i join it to ubuntu>?
[10:09] <nimbus> not sure, vecam. might have to research that.
[10:10] <nbeebo> actionparsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79229/
[10:10] <vecam> nimbus, yes it is cariodock, but I'm sure there is another one or another name
[10:10] <vecam> nimbus, thank you very much
[10:10] <nimbus> you're welcome
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> nbeebo: is that your ~/.conkyrc ?
[10:10] <nbeebo> actionparsnip: yes
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> nbeebo: ok, what happens if you run conky from terminal?
[10:11] <nbeebo> actionparsnip: ill try
[10:12] <nbeebo> actionparsnip: Conky: use_spacer should have an argument of left, right, or none.  'no' seems to be some form of 'false', so defaulting to none.
[10:12] <nbeebo> actionparsnip: guess ill fix it then
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> nbeebo: sounds like you got a plan :)
[10:12] <pluma> I installed 8.10 and now my video and audio is broken. Apparently the sound card is not recognised (standard on-board) and the graphics card could not be detected (last-gen ATI Radeon)
[10:12] <nbeebo> actionparsnip, lol thanks btw
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> nbeebo: running stiuff from terminal gives intelligent output. Gui hides all the good stuff
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> nbeebo: its one reason i dont use gui rubbish
[10:12] <pluma> It worked fine since Dapper Drake and that was what? Six generations ago?
[10:13] <redshift1972> hi all got a question for you
[10:13] <nbeebo> actionparsnip, yeah i know that but ive got brain damage...
[10:13] <nbeebo> actionparsnip, long time lyme disease
[10:13] <Kate_344> Hello , does it possible to extract tar file without the folders path ? (all the files will be extract to 1 folder ) i try'ed to look at the "man tar" but i cant find it
[10:14] <Syrre> ActionParsnip: is there a way of making tilda autostart ? ... tried to add it in sessions, but it did not work =/
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> Kate_344: tar zxvf <tar file>
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> !autostart  | Syrre
[10:14] <redshift1972> Can Vm ware install to a real device instead of virtually? so i can boot it up for real ?
[10:14] <vecam> nimbus, it's emerald :)
[10:14] <nimbus> okay thanks
[10:16] <Tatazaki> #applet,#666-satan
[10:17] <kc8pxy> is there anything special about installing ubuntu as a xen Guest?
[10:17] <kc8pxy> as opposed to a regular server install
[10:18] <nbeebo> !xen
[10:18] <nbeebo> damn im good
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> redshift1972: no as the vmware server must boot to read the image
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> redshift1972: you could dd the partitions to a removable media, then put them on real disks
[10:19] <chilli0> hello all
[10:19] <chilli0> how can i make my ubuntu partion bigger?
[10:19] <nbeebo> u cant :(
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> chilli0: you can use gparted in live cd
[10:19] <nbeebo> maybe u can :)
[10:19] <chilli0> ive lost my live cd
[10:19] <chilli0> ...
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> chilli0: backup all important data before starting, just incase
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> chilli0: redownload one
[10:20] <chilli0> ok
[10:20] <chilli0> ive backed up
[10:20] <chilli0> did that earlyer
[10:20] <chilli0> so what do i download?
[10:20] <chilli0> ActionParsnip were can i get the live cd from?
[10:20] <SiD|67> how can i test my wlan card on a livecd?
[10:20] <nbeebo> !livecd
[10:20] <ikonia> chilli0: ubuntu.com
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> !getubuntu
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> !torrents
[10:21] <chilli0> is there any oher way then getting ubuntu again?
[10:21] <q-tip_> in 8.04 how can I stop the delay on typing the " key ?
[10:21] <nbeebo> !puppylinux
[10:21] <chilli0> is there like a gparted live cd ?
[10:21] <nbeebo> lol
[10:21] <ikonia> chilli0 in what respect ?
[10:21] <ikonia> chilli0: ubuntu has gparted on it
[10:21] <chilli0> ikonia:  internet slow
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: i think he wants something smaller
[10:21] <chilli0> its at dial up
[10:21] <nbeebo> chilli0 google for small live cd or something
[10:21] <chilli0> yes smaller
[10:21] <ikonia> you can go to a shop and buy a magazine with it on
[10:22] <ikonia> not really an ubuntu issue then
[10:22] <nbeebo> it is if u read what he needed help with
[10:22] <ikonia> no it's not
[10:22] <peter_> Tried to install server 8.10. During install no HD where found. I'm using a Promise Fasttrack S150 TX4 sata controller. I installed server <IP_ADDRESS> without any problem. Can anyone give me a hint on what to do?
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> the OS works so ubuntu is not faulty
[10:23] <ikonia> he's been told he needs to use gparted from a livecd environment, he can get the ubuntu cd or look for one that suits his needs better
[10:23] <chilli0> well i want to make ubuntu bigger
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> id say that was supported
[10:23] <ikonia> yes I read that
[10:23] <nbeebo> he asked how he could reformate ubuntu partition :S:S:S lol
[10:23] <nbeebo> !rules
[10:23] <ikonia> nbeebo: yes and he was told with gparted
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> chilli0: dry damnsmalllinux
[10:24] <nbeebo> chilli0 or puppy linux
[10:24] <ikonia> we can't speak for other distros implimentation of gparted
[10:24] <redshift1972> hmm interesting, well here is what i wanna do specicfically, i wanna be able to boot my thumb drive ( but its not working) and be able to install linux or windows from it to hard drive...then i have  the rest of my files on the thumb drive for after installation....i wanna be able to bring just my thumb drive to  a friends house and install what ever Operating system flavor i want just from my thumb drive..but if i cant bo
[10:24] <ikonia> or partitioning tools
[10:25] <nbeebo> too late
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> !usb | redshift1972
[10:25] <chilli0> ok
[10:25] <nbeebo> !chat
[10:26] <rblst> if i print any PDF file, the output is scrambled/enlarged; this only goes for PDF; the printer used to work fine (i have an Ubuntu 8.04 with the latest updates)
[10:27] <nbeebo> !print
[10:27] <nbeebo> !pdf
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> good ol pdf
[10:29] <peter_> Tried to install server 8.10. During install no HD where found. I'm using a Promise Fasttrack S150 TX4 sata controller. I installed server 8.04.1 without any problem. Can anyone give me a hint on what to do?
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> peter_: why not install 8.04 then do an upgrade with the cd to 8.10
[10:30] <ikonia> peter_ look for the support of that card in that kernel ?
[10:30] <Mud> indeed
[10:30] <aftertaf> peter_: yeah. Fasttrak is FakeRAID
[10:30] <ikonia> peter_: look if the closed source driver (there is one) is needed for that kernel, check if it's compatible
[10:30] <aftertaf> you need dmraid
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> peter_: maybe you need additional modules to get the controller going in 8.10
[10:31] <rblst> if i print any PDF file, the output is scrambled/enlarged; this only goes for PDF; the printer used to work fine (i have an Ubuntu 8.04 with the latest updates), does anyone happen to know how to solve this?
[10:31] <aftertaf> dmraid is needed . I ahev those same cards at work and had to use fedora core to have them available at install time.
[10:31] <aftertaf> !raid
[10:31] <aftertaf> see the software raid link peter_
[10:32] <sajuuk> can i get the link for multiheading again?
[10:32] <nbeebo> !bot
[10:32]  * ActionParsnip strokes his pci-x scsi card
[10:32] <nbeebo> how do i private bot?
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> !dualhead | sajuuk
[10:32] <aftertaf> ActionParsnip: yeah, real raid is better......
[10:32] <ikonia> nbeebo /msg it
[10:32] <nbeebo> ok
[10:32] <sajuuk> btw i think im gonna run into trouble
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> aftertaf: only by a million times
[10:32] <aftertaf> yeah!
[10:33] <sajuuk> I dont have a Nvidia chipset on my intel graphics card... where can I see wot type of Intel VGA card it is on ubuntu?
[10:33] <FebruariusX> is this the place to ask about redundanc
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: lspci | grep -i vga
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> !info redundanc
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> !redundanc
[10:34] <ikonia> sajuuk you don't have an nvidia chipset on your intel card
[10:34] <peter_> I have set up a raid 5 using server 8.04 and it works without any problem. And indeed I did an upgrade to 8.10 and it still works. I was only wondering why I dond't see any drive when doing a clean install using 8.10
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> FebruariusX: what is it?
[10:34] <j0nr> ActionParsnip: not sure what yo mean by 'start directory of the particular user'?
[10:35] <sajuuk> does an intel 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device do multiheading?
[10:35] <ikonia> sajuuk graphics cards are not cpu
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> j0nr: you set the root directory of the user for ftp, so if user 'bill' logs in, his ftp start directory is /home/bill but if 'andy' logs in his start directoy is /home/andy/ftpstart
[10:35] <ikonia> sajuuk: I think your trolling now with your questions, please stop
[10:35] <sajuuk> im not and I dont wish to troll
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> j0nr: you can choose what folder the first ls is started from, they can dig deeper but go no higher of where you specify
[10:36] <sajuuk> multiheading= dual screen
[10:36] <ikonia> sajuuk: so stop asking silly questions, and stop asking questions that are nothing to do with ubuntu
[10:36] <norbert79> good day
[10:36] <sajuuk> not mult-threading
[10:36] <ikonia> sajuuk: that card will support dual heads if it has multiple output ports
[10:36] <nbeebo> !report
[10:37] <sajuuk> ok, now I have one monitor and my laptop monitor, will that dual screen?
[10:37] <ikonia> sajuuk if you have an external port it should do
[10:37] <sajuuk> which it does, check :)
[10:37] <norbert79> I have a simple question, maybe someone has already a solution to that: I know, that 8.10 uses a different X method, and comes with Compiz enabled. Unfortunetally compiz works still not well with Wine, so I would like to disable it, but then I lose OpenGL support. How do I enable OpenGL for X without compiz? (xorg.conf gets overwritten with every restart)
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: have you installed video drivers?
[10:38] <ikonia> ActionParsnip it's an intel card
[10:38] <sajuuk> for the 855? No, i assumed not to cos it works
[10:38] <sajuuk> but i do have the 2nd screen hooked up
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: still needs a driver, even if its vesa, its a driver
[10:38] <sajuuk> via the VGA port on the laptop
[10:38] <ikonia> ActionParsnip you don't install drivers for the "intel" cards
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: well its part of a stock install, just needs configuring
[10:39] <ikonia> ActionParsnip yes
[10:39] <sajuuk> and i have 2 screens that are exactly the same but i want them to dual screen
[10:39] <nbeebo> norbert79 try run metacity --replace maybe
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: but drivers are installed for it, which is my point
[10:39] <ikonia> ActionParsnip they are already installed ?/???
[10:39] <sajuuk> u guys know what I mean? cos i sometimes sound very weird when i describe my problems
[10:39] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: where is he going to get drivers
[10:40] <norbert79> nbeebo: Hmm, do you think that will force compiz not loading? The problem is, when I turn off the special effects,. it also removes the OpenGL support, which is pretty silly
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: repos
[10:40] <ikonia> ActionParsnip where ???? they are already part of the default install
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: you assume they havent been removed?
[10:40] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: oh come on
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: as i always say.  I am familiar with metacity and compiz, I just can't understand why it forces X not loading GLX parts... Well, thanks for the tip anyway
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: !termnal is pretty bad in most users eyes
[10:42] <nbeebo> norbert79 np..
[10:42] <sajuuk> so what do I do to dual screen the 855gm with the laptop and my old desktop monitor?
[10:43] <halycon> hey everyone has anyone used Stardict before?
[10:43] <scorp123> hi all
[10:44] <scorp123> @Admins: I get a 503 from ubuntuforums.org .... Is the site down?
[10:44] <norbert79> Scolo: It is
[10:44] <norbert79> scorp123: it is
[10:44] <norbert79> danmn tab :)
[10:44] <nbeebo> !date
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: here's some nice xorg.conf snippets you can use: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/292795/+viewstatus
[10:44] <nbeebo> what day is it today in europe? sorry for offtopic ...
[10:44] <sajuuk> yeah it just went down
[10:44] <scorp123> norbert79:  oh dear
[10:44] <Flannel> nbeebo: Try #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:44] <scorp123> norbert79: (I mean the site being down .... )
[10:44] <norbert79> scorp123: I did it too
[10:45] <sajuuk> ok Action, i will take a look through them, but I am simply a desktop user of linux, i wont know too much
[10:45] <DIFH-iceroot> nbeebo: tuesday 02.12.08
[10:45] <nbeebo> difh-iceroot, thanks
[10:45] <error404> does ubuntu's default kernel config include PAE? is there a PAE-enabled kernel in the repos?
[10:45] <scorp123> nbeebo: that's a strange question
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: i gotta check some stuff out, maybe someone can use those to help
[10:45] <scorp123> error404: you have to use the "server" kernel
[10:46] <error404> scorp123 thx
[10:46] <scorp123> error404:  sudo apt-get install linux-server .... that will get you PAE
[10:46] <scorp123> error404: but:  Also make sure you get the "-headers" dependencies ... for some odd reason they won't install automagically
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> scorp123: i like "automagically"
[10:47] <renjith>  is any libraray functions available to use the /etc/resolv.config file(read the contents, update the file with some new entries etc) in c/c++
[10:47] <scorp123> error404: best thing is ... Open Synaptic and search for "linux-server" .... so you'd get the "linux-server-headers", "linux-server-image" and "linux-server-restricted-modules" .... If you miss any of that then e.g. some modules like "nvidia" might refuse to work.
[10:48] <rookeeeeeeeee> hi
[10:48] <nbeebo> hello
[10:48] <scorp123> ActionParsnip: from the Linux sources .... "automagically" is mentioned several times there ... :)
[10:48] <sajuuk> yep, this guy is talking about a S-Video problem but it looks remotely the same.  Would I have to change my Xorg file for the dualscreen monitor?
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: looks like it to me
[10:48] <susa24> hello
[10:49] <susa24> could someone please assist me or guide me in the right direction to setup bluetooth in mythbuntu?
[10:49] <sajuuk> hmm and how to go about it.... very carefully I guess! :D
[10:49] <gunnarahlberg> how do I convert 25 .mov files from a DV cam to a dvd?
[10:49] <erno> i can't ssh to my ibex sever after a kernel update
[10:49] <erno> why is this?
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> gunnarahlberg: i think devede may be able to make the dvd, not sure about mov support, you could always convert it if it doesnt like it
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> erno: is openssh-server installed and running?
[10:50] <ndlovu> norbert79, have you tried installing compiz fusion icon? it lets you switch between compiz and metacity on the fly... but I'm still not sure whether opengl would work under metacity
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> erno: is there a logical link (can you ping the server by name and ip address)
[10:50] <gunnarahlberg> ActionParsnip: Thanks, I will give it another try. devede blew up (assertionerror)
[10:50] <scorp123> nbeebo: why this question about the date in Europe?? You have a Swedish IP address ... aren't you supposed to know the day too? :D
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> erno: is there any firewalling which may get in the way
[10:51] <norbert79> ndlovu: The same does the 'appereance' menu option too, but I would like to disable it permanently...
[10:51] <scorp123> gunnarahlberg: try "kino"
[10:51] <norbert79> ndlovu: Good idea tough
[10:51] <scorp123> gunnarahlberg: it has a convert function
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> gunnarahlberg: in my experience, ive had to watch devede do its trick and not use the system
[10:51] <rookeeeeeeeee> does anyone know whow to do a whois on someone on xchat?
[10:51] <fiyawerx>  /whois foo
[10:51] <norbert79> ndlovu: The disturbing thing is, that opengl should not be dependent on compiz
[10:51] <nbeebo> scorp123: couse i dont have anything that tells day on desktop so.....
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> erno: do you have the correct ip address / name/
[10:51] <gunnarahlberg> ActionParsnip: this will take a while....
[10:52] <rookeeeeeeeee> thats not working fiyawerx
[10:52] <erbi> when using mythtv to watch tv, what hardware do i need to buy for my laptop ?
[10:52] <scorp123> nbeebo: you should drink less ;-)
[10:52] <fiyawerx> rookeeeeeeeee, check the server window
[10:52] <gunnarahlberg> ActionParsnip: is there a CLI to devede? i did google it :)
[10:52] <susa24> could someone please assist me or guide me in the right direction to setup bluetooth in mythbuntu??
[10:52] <fiyawerx> rookeeeeeeeee, or just right click their name in the namelist
[10:52] <susa24> or in ubuntu
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> gunnarahlberg: not sure man
[10:53] <sajuuk> Ok, opened up xorg.conf, i have an entry for monitor which is just 'configured monitor' and screen which is 'configured monitor/video device"
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: you'll need gksudo gedit to open it
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: then you need to read the link i gave you and pull bits across
[10:54] <gunnarahlberg> ActionParsnip: I'm in a hurry so I'll just believe you, thanks
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: if you get stuck you can press esc at grub boot and fix xorg
[10:54] <sajuuk> how do you fix xorg? with recovery?
[10:55] <norbert79> sajuuk: dpkg-reconfigure xorg-config I guess
[10:55] <norbert79> works for almost every package dpkg-reconfigure
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: yeah recovery for your kernel has the option
[10:56] <j0nr> ActionParsnip: So do I need to add a DefaultRoot /directory_of_choice?
[10:57] <j0nr> ActionParsnip: as there isn't one in as default
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> j0nr: yeah, sounds about right
[11:00] <krisys> can anyone tell me what will i need to install java run time? I'm looking for the exact package name so that i can apt-get..
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> !java | krisys
[11:01] <norbert79> krisys: I think you should try to use apt-cache search sun | grep java
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> norbert79: nice one
[11:01] <krisys> ubottu: norbert79 : thanks.
[11:01] <norbert79> ActionParsnip: Your reply is much precise tough :)
[11:02] <sajuuk> ok ActionParsnip, I can drag across the monitor but its not of that type of monitor its a different type, i suppose I change it around to suit the monitor?
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> norbert79: im just lazy :D
[11:02] <norbert79> KrimZon: You are welcome
[11:02] <norbert79> ActionParsnip: :)
[11:02] <norbert79> krisys: You are welcome... Damn tab again :)
[11:02] <ndlovu> norbert79, if I switch between compiz and metacity, glxgears works fine on both. As far as I know indicates that opengl is working independent of compiz on my system (8.04)
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: the type isnt important really, its the refresh rates and resolutions you set
[11:02] <sajuuk> ok
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: you can set them if you want, its purely aesthetic
[11:02] <norbert79> ndlovu: Ok, disable, compiz, and restart your X...
[11:03] <norbert79> ndlovu: OpenGL tends to disappear after the next 'restart'
[11:03] <sajuuk> good good, 60 hz and 1024x768 monitor is what i have then
[11:03] <ndlovu> norbert79, I'll try it out and get back to you...
[11:03] <norbert79> ndlovu: Cheers
[11:04] <erbi> when using mythtv to watch tv, what hardware do i need to buy for my laptop ?
[11:04] <norbert79> erbi: I doubt you will need a recent hardware, any medicore or lower types of PC would be also enough
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> erbi: one that fits its interface and one thats big enough to hold what you wanna store
[11:05] <norbert79> erbi: You can watch mythtv using an older Pentium 1 with Voodoo card too... afaik
[11:05] <Syrre> ActionParsnip: haha, i just figured out why i could'nt get Tilda to autostart =P .... a simple typo, had written "Tilda" instead of "tilda" =P
[11:07] <sajuuk> ok Action, what are the refresh rate lines on the crt monitor?  HorizSync 28-96
[11:07] <sajuuk>     VertRefresh 43-160? would it be these? how would i change it to just 60hz?
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> Syrre: yep, linux is CasE SEnSiTIve
[11:09] <Syrre> hehe
[11:09] <Danny-aka-Recce> I have a printing issue. The printer is attached to a Windows box. I can see it when I add the printer as a network printer over samba. However when I try to USE the printer the file doesn't go anywhere. The windows box sees a new printer on my machine as if it were connected here. What do I need to change to make it realize that the printer is on the OTHER machine?
[11:10] <Danny-aka-Recce> I'm using WebAdmin and can edit the samba config directly. I can also do it through GSambad.
[11:10] <sajuuk> ok ActionParsnip, done the refresh rates, i think, now I gotta add the new monitor to a 'section device'
[11:11] <sajuuk> ActionParsnip: But which section do I add it to?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> Danny-aka-Recce: have you added the linux printer driver to your linux system?
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: its a whole extra section, read the guide, it has 3 monitors specified
[11:12] <sajuuk> i only have one monitor to add though
[11:12] <ndlovu> norbert79, glxgears works under metacity even after a restart
[11:12] <Danny-aka-Recce> It asks you what the printer type is when you set it up. It then finishes the config. If I just plug the printer into this machine then there are no problems at all. So I'm assuming that yes the driver is installed.
[11:12] <sajuuk> and its only a VGA one
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: then add it in the same way
[11:13] <norbert79> ndlovu: Weird... I have still issues under my Eee and 8.10... Somehow I lose the Gl support for the Eee after I disable compiz.
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-August/091347.html
[11:15] <Blinkiz> Hi. I have a pptx file here (powerpoint 2007) that I want to convert to ppt, odp or pdf.  Anyway to convert it?
[11:15] <ndlovu> norbert79, it might be that compiz fusion icon maintains control of the xorg.conf, and does not disable the opengl parts? I'm not too familiar with the settings though.
[11:15] <norbert79> Blinkiz: Well, do some formatting first before converting it... :)
[11:15] <norbert79> ndlovu: Yes, it needs more investigation ... Thanks for testing!
[11:16] <Blinkiz> norbert79, I don't have powerpoint 2007, I got the file from a friend
[11:16] <ndlovu> norbert79, no problem
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> Blinkiz: its a propritary format so you may have iissues. i have no idea how to convert it
[11:16] <Blinkiz> oki
[11:16] <norbert79> Blinkiz: Well, open the file, correct the errors in the file, and convert it after you have made the corrections
[11:16] <sajuuk> ActionParsnip, can I do a pastebin of my Xorg and see if i have done it right?
[11:16] <benoka> hello, is it normal that my wireless connection asks for the WEP code at each startup?
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: sure
[11:17] <arvind_khadri> hi, i have a parallel port drive... wanted to use it...how do i mount it in ubuntu?
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> arvind_khadri: depends whats attatched to it
[11:18] <arvind_khadri> ActionParsnip, a hard disk
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> arvind_khadri: you sure its not a com port
[11:19] <arvind_khadri> ActionParsnip, how do i know what port it is btw
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> arvind_khadri: parallel is 36 pins
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> arvind_khadri: com port is 9 pins
[11:20] <arvind_khadri> ActionParsnip, this has 25 pins
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> sorry, parallel is 25 pins
[11:21] <arvind_khadri> ActionParsnip, ya this is parallel... got 25 pins
[11:21] <erbi> well, in my synaptic package manager, im trying to install banshee, and in that manager, it says the latest version is 1.2.1
[11:21] <erbi> how come my synaptic package manager cannot get the correct updated version ?
[11:21] <erbi> well, in my synaptic package manager, im trying to install banshee, and in that manager, it says the latest version is 1.2.1
[11:21] <erbi> but on the banshee-project.org site, they released 1.4 on nov10th2008.
[11:21] <Condoulo> ok, how would I configure my ATI drivers to get a refresh rate above 60Hz? I installed the proprietary drivers, yet no luck.
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> arvind_khadri: if you connect it and run sudo fdisk -l does it show up?
[11:22] <sajuuk> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/m409e64d6
[11:22] <arvind_khadri> ActionParsnip, nope
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: i wouldnt have the @ symbols round the second monitor section name
[11:24] <sajuuk> they r for bolding
[11:24] <halycon> What is the best way to get an offline version of Wikipedia for Ubuntu?
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> arvind_khadri: this may help, this mounts iomega zip drives (parallel) so should be similar for standard hdds: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IomegaZIPDrive
[11:25] <arvind_khadri> ActionParsnip, thanks...
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: and you only have one screen
[11:25] <DJones> erbi: The version on the banshee-project website will have been released after ubuntu 8.10 was released, they have a policy of normally issuing only security and bug fixes until the next ubuntu release
[11:25] <msandbu> hi, is there any app avalible from apt that can display web-trafic from an apache site?
[11:26] <sajuuk> ActionParsnip, i need to add another screen?
[11:26] <a3dfd7> forums down, I need to read a page, is there a cache?
[11:26] <rapha> Hi all!
[11:26] <rapha> Will Ubuntuforums be offline for long?
[11:26] <gavinlew> hi, i have a network (router,switch,4 SIP phones) and need to be able to capture all inbound / outbound udp traffic, any ideas how - i was thinking of using net:bridge ? (I have a ubuntu server built with 2x nic's)
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: well, yeah. you have your laptop screen and your external screen
[11:27] <sajuuk> ok
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: the second link i gave you shows you how they are laid out
[11:27] <sajuuk> can u repost that link?
[11:27] <erbi> DJones: im running ubuntu 8.10 64bit, should i use 1.2.1(from my synaptic package manager or 1.4 ?
[11:28] <erbi> err lemme rephrase the question...
[11:28] <rapha> Will Ubuntuforums be offline for long?
[11:29] <DJones> erbi: I would stick with with the version in the repo's, that way if there are any security updates you get them automatically, if you install from a non-ubuntu repo, you might find that you don't get future updates
[11:29] <erbi> how do i update my repositories so that my box can display 1.4.1 instead of the older version 1.2.1 ? where do i change settings? isnt it something like NAME.list ?
[11:29] <erbi> oh
[11:29] <Condoulo> is there any way I can get an 85Hz refresh rate on Ubuntu 8.10 with the proprietary ATI Drivers?
[11:30] <erbi> i just thought my repopositories aren't up to date.. how do i check?
[11:30] <renjith_> Hi all
[11:31] <renjith_> is it possible by using resolver library routines to change the DNS IP address?
[11:32] <crimsaq> erbi, sources.list

[11:34] <Condoulo> Anybody here experienced with configuring ATI drivers? >.>
[11:34] <Zaraki_Kenpachi> hi, i have just installed google earth from the medibuntu repo, it worked, but the display is blurry, my graphic cards is from intel , how do i resolve it
[11:34] <rapha> Am I muted maybe?
[11:34] <crimsaq> rapha, no :p
[11:34] <rapha> oh ok :)
[11:34] <crimsaq> ;)
[11:34] <rapha> So then I'll try again - will the forums be offline for long?
[11:35]  * crimsaq has no idea
[11:35] <crimsaq> didnt know they were down :p
[11:35] <rapha> oh, k
[11:35] <susa24> hello
[11:35] <rapha> Well
[11:35] <rapha> Do they work for you, crimsaq?
[11:35] <crimsaq> address?
[11:35] <susa24> could someone please assist me or guide me in the right direction to setup bluetooth in mythbuntu??
[11:35] <rapha> crimsaq: ubuntuforums.org ofc
[11:35] <Zaraki_Kenpachi> hi, i have just installed google earth from the medibuntu repo, it worked, but the display is blurry, my graphic cards is from intel , how do i resolve it
[11:35] <crimsaq> sec
[11:35] <crimsaq> nope
[11:35] <crimsaq> didnt work
[11:35] <Condoulo> ok, since xorg.conf is no longer used for video and such, how would I configure my ATI to get a correct refresh rate of 85Hz. Anybody know?
[11:36] <Dreamer3> is there a way to tell adduser not to prompt for name and all that crap so i can trun in non-interactively?
[11:36] <rapha> crimsaq: k, so it's not just me or only germany. good to know :P
[11:36] <crimsaq> yea :P
[11:36] <crimsaq> <- FL, USA

[11:36] <crimsaq> that bot needs to die
[11:37] <vik__> vik
[11:37] <gavinlew> condoulo: im using the restricted ATI drivers on ubuntu 8.10 at home , and I have the ATI control center available via Applications
[11:37] <rapha> Yeah, it floods more than the ppl it warns.
[11:37] <gavinlew> condoulo: which should let you control the refresh rate
[11:37] <crimsaq> nvidia > ATI
[11:37] <crimsaq> ;D
[11:37] <Condoulo> gavinlew, yeah, that gives me the same refresh rates as the Screen Resolution Tool Ubuntu provides.
[11:37] <j0nr> ok, trying vsftp now... am i right in thinking, that if it default to be able to log in and see your home directory, do i just go to the ip address of my home router?
[11:38] <gavinlew> condoulo: oh , i dont know much more than that then im afraid, mainly use nvidia kit
[11:38] <j0nr> eg ftp://ip.address.of.homome
[11:38] <j0nr> home*
[11:38] <ziroday> crimsaq: rapha: To know when the forums will be back up ask in #ubuntuforums
[11:38] <Joe_> someone have a few minutes to help me try and debug, seemingly, random hard locks in 8.04 (also was present in 7.10).  I have theories but logs do not seem to support them
[11:39] <crimsaq> mine hard locks about once every 50 uptime days :p
[11:39] <crimsaq> I blame old hardware though
[11:39] <Joe_> mine has hard locked about 8 times in the last 12 hours
[11:39] <crimsaq> oh
[11:39] <crimsaq> you're much worse than me :P
[11:39] <Joe_> yeah
[11:39] <crimsaq> I can sustain a 50 day uptime usually :P
[11:39] <Joe_> my other one does just fine...
[11:39] <erbi> thanks crimsaq
[11:40] <Joe_> it appears to happen after a long period of sustaining 3-5Mbps up (or down)
[11:40] <Joe_> but I can find nothing in the logs to confirm that
[11:40] <Joe_> any ever hear of something like that?
[11:41] <crimsaq> maybe your network card is on the fritz :P
[11:41] <Joe_> already thought of that, bought a new gigabit card a few weeks ago
[11:41] <crimsaq> ah
[11:41] <Joe_> tested RAM, tested HDs
[11:41] <Condoulo> gah. I'm going back to 8.04 where I actually had a usable refresh rate, and than maybe do a distro upgrade from there >.>
[11:42] <Joe_> isn't a heat problem (gets a little warm, but not bad), CPU load is minimal
[11:42] <GINZ2> hi
[11:42] <crimsaq> pretty bizzar
[11:42] <Joe_> say speaking of which... how is 8.10?
[11:42] <GINZ2> Anyone here know the Gallery nightlies workings?
[11:43] <ardchoille> Joe_: I have 8.10 working great here. Haven't had any major problems.
[11:43] <Joe_> I haven't upgraded off 8.04 since 8.04 broke Synergy
[11:43] <Joe_> you use Hamachi and/or synergy by chance?
[11:43] <ardchoille> no
[11:43]  * crimsaq is on Kubuntu 8.04 :p
[11:43] <Condoulo> decent... except I can't get my ATI to get a proper refresh rate (I have the resolution I want, but not the refresh rate. And xorg.conf no longer has the job of doing that, so the fix isn't as simple as it used to be)
[11:43]  * Mustinet tv izliycem eyq
[11:43] <Joe_> that doesn't sound good... I use nvidia on this machine, but I have 4 monitors connected to it
[11:43] <GINZ2> I want to install a new nightly but need to remove the earlier one first, and it will not remove it.
[11:43] <Joe_> I'd kill someone if that broke
[11:44] <crimsaq> nvidia rocks
[11:44] <crimsaq> ati sucks :P
[11:44] <Joe_> the new ATI cards are sweet
[11:44] <Condoulo> >.>
[11:44] <ardchoille> Joe_: I have nvidia and found the 173 driver to be incapable on my machines. I uninstalled it and installed the 93 driver and everything worked
[11:44] <Joe_> and AMD claims that they are going to open up the drivers
[11:44] <Rprp`> Hello, i got a problem.. for some reason i cant install 'procps', error: http://rafb.net/p/Bwluv686.html - does someone know how i can solve this? :)
[11:44] <shoPanda> Joe_: You could try a liveCD of course, that way you won't have to kill anyone
[11:44] <Joe_> I have to use the 169 driver due to one of my video cards
[11:45] <Vinceman> hi! is mounting any different when it's rw instead of just r?
[11:45] <Joe_> vinceman you mean besides not being able to write to it?
[11:45] <XB23> hey guys in ubuntu how do i reload the /etc/hosts file without rebooting?
[11:45] <elmakin> hola
[11:45] <Condoulo> does anybody know what config file does hold refresh rate information and such now, since xorg.conf no longer does?
[11:46] <Joe_> condoulo no clue... why would they take it out of xorg.conf?
[11:46] <Vinceman> Joe_ hold on, I have to check something out
[11:46] <Condoulo> Joe_, I dunno. >.> but they did
[11:46] <Appiah> Is there anyway to change a default startpage for all my newly created users on ubuntu?
[11:46] <Joe_> appiah default start page?
[11:46] <ziroday> Appiah: startpage?
[11:46] <Vinceman> how can you check whatever it is in your device directory?
[11:46] <ziroday> Appiah: as in the login window, or the firefox home page?
[11:47] <Vinceman> there're so many entries in that dir
[11:47] <Joe_> vinceman clarify?
[11:47] <Vinceman> well something is linked through to something else, I don't know who did it and why it is, but how can I check what it is?
[11:47] <Joe_> vinceman going to need to be a little more specific than that...
[11:47] <Vinceman> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-12-02 12:06 cdrw1 -> scd1
[11:47] <Joe_> vinceman what kind of link?
[11:47] <Vinceman> it is a sn link no?
[11:47] <ndlovu> XB23, dunno, but  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart might work
[11:48] <Appiah> firefox home page ziroday
[11:48] <Joe_> vinceman ah, the file cdrwl is a symbolic link to scdl (the real file)
[11:48] <Appiah> or just firefox settings in general
[11:48] <Joe_> vinceman if that's all the line says, scd1 should be in the same directory
[11:48] <Rprp`> Hello, i got a problem.. for some reason i cant install 'procps', error: http://rafb.net/p/Bwluv686.html - does someone know how i can solve this? :)
[11:48] <howtoo> hey... I'm in need of mono v2, currently sitting at ubuntu8.10 intrepid. The mono-2x is available in Jaunty. Is it possible to only add the mono packages from jaunty to my sources list?
[11:48] <XB23> hey guys in ubuntu how do i reload the /etc/hosts file without rebooting?
[11:49] <howtoo> XB23: you dont have to
[11:49] <Vinceman> yes, Joe_ I think it is a clausule of some sort to prevent writing to the read write DVD station
[11:49] <howtoo> XB23: just add your hosts, and it should read it
[11:49] <XB23> oh right
[11:49] <Joe_> vinceman where is that file located?  do pwd
[11:49] <XB23> how do i read a url and display it in ssh?
[11:49] <Vinceman> in dev
[11:49] <Joe_> xb23 read a url?
[11:50] <XB23> ah its ok curl works
[11:50] <howtoo> copy, paste =)
[11:50] <XB23> hmm /etc/hosts hasnt worked
[11:50] <XB23> its still goin to the old dns
[11:50] <Joe_> vinceman my genreal rule, things in dev and many things in /etc shouldn't be touched
[11:50] <ziroday> Appiah: Edit > Preferences
[11:50] <Joe_> vinceman what is the problem you're having?
[11:50] <howtoo> what's you resolve order?
[11:50] <XB23> i want to redirect a dns to a externel website to <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:50] <Appiah> ziroday: that wont work for new users , but thanks
[11:50] <XB23> so www.google.com points to <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:50] <ziroday> Appiah: oh! you want it as default?
[11:50] <Appiah> ziroday: that means if i create 100 users I have to login to  each one
[11:51] <ziroday> Appiah: didn't understand that. Sorry
[11:51] <XB23> i added
[11:51] <XB23> <IP_ADDRESS> www.google.com
[11:51] <XB23> to my hosts file
[11:51] <Joe_> xb23 you want to use a routing table for that
[11:51] <FloodBot2> XB23: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:51] <XB23> and saved it
[11:51] <Appiah> ziroday: ;)
[11:51] <XB23> oh
[11:51] <Vinceman> Joe_ well I can't use the hardware, that's all
[11:51] <ardchoille> Is http://ubuntuforums.org/ down?
[11:51] <ziroday> ardchoille: yes
[11:51] <DJones> ardchoille: apparently yes
[11:52] <ardchoille> ok
[11:52] <Joe_> xb23 and for some reason the command is not cominbg to mind...
[11:52] <ziroday> Appiah: this link should help you http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-459676.html ,if the forums are up :)
[11:52] <Joe_> vinceman can't use it how, can't read or can't write or both?
[11:52] <XB23> lol
[11:53] <Appiah> ziroday: i'll check it once its up :D
[11:53] <Vinceman> it is not visible in gnome I believe it is called
[11:53] <rookeeeeeeeee> can anyone tell me if its possible to delete the windows vista primary partition while ubuntu is still on the hard disk then reinstall windows on the same space that it was on before?
[11:53] <Joe_> xb23 iptables is the command for what you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[11:54] <Vinceman> Joe_ is that meant for me?
[11:54] <lianimator> rookeeeeeeeee: possible, but you'd have to install grub again
[11:54] <Spatman_> Some one kn ow alot about LAMPWare here*?
[11:54] <Joe_> vinceman nope, that's for xb23 for what he wants to do
[11:54] <Zaraki_Kenpachi> hi, i have just installed google earth from the medibuntu repo, it worked, but the display is blurry, my graphic cards is from intel , how do i resolve it
[11:54] <Joe_> vinceman it's a DVD drive I take it?
[11:54] <ikonia> Spatman_ do you mean lamp ?
[11:54] <lianimator> How do I receive mails from junkbox of hotmail using Evolution
[11:54] <Vinceman> yes
[11:54] <Joe_> vincemand and not listed under /media?
[11:54] <rookeeeeeeeee> lianimator, and how do you reinstall grub?
[11:54] <heizkostenabrech> #linux
[11:54] <Vinceman> there's no entry in fstab
[11:54] <Rprp`> Hello, i got a problem.. for some reason i cant install 'procps', error: http://rafb.net/p/Bwluv686.html - does someone know how i can solve this? :)
[11:55] <lianimator> rookeeeeeeeee: you can google it for sure. :)
[11:55] <Joe_> vinceman nothng like /media/cdrom0?
[11:56] <schone0a-> hi all, is there a way to format the hard drive that the os is installed on by using the os?
[11:56] <ikonia> schone0a- no
[11:56] <Vinceman> it is preserved for the other
[11:56] <Joe_> schone0a you could try, and probably screw it all up good... use a liveCD and you should be ok
[11:56] <Joe_> vinceman you have 2 drives?
[11:56] <Vinceman> a read and a readwrite
[11:57] <Spatman_> some one use lamp here the php,my SQL.... program?
[11:57] <schone0a-> well i m selling the hard drives
[11:57] <Vinceman> how many G?
[11:57] <schone0a-> so i just need to clean them dry
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[11:57] <ikonia> schone0a- do it from a live cd
[11:57] <Vinceman> leave that to the professional schone0a
[11:57] <schone0a-> ok
[11:57] <Vinceman> Joe_ what's so abnormal about having two drives?
[11:57] <Spatman_> some one use lamp here the php,my SQL.... program?
[11:57] <schone0a-> eh?
[11:58] <Joe_> vinceman nothing, just didn't realize you had two and that was the problem
[11:58] <Joe_> vinceman I'm assuming the first drive works fine?
[11:58] <turuburu> guysi want to setup lamp in ubuntu. is it better to use tasksel or aptitude?
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> !tasksel
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> !info tasksel
[11:58] <Flannel> turuburu: tasksel is easier, but package management works just fine too
[11:58] <Flannel> !lamp | turuburu
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> turuburu: any are good, i use apt-get
[11:59] <Vinceman> yes it does Joe_
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> turuburu: all pretty much the same deal
[12:00] <turuburu> tasksel is easiery. so if i do tasksel i hope i will not end up with bloated installation with a lot of useless software?
[12:00] <Joe_> vinceman ok, do sudo fdisk -l
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> turuburu: i can imagine itd install necessary deps only
[12:00] <Flannel> turuburu: No, it'll do more or less identical to what you'd do with a package manager
[12:00] <Joe_> vinceman do you see both drives listed there?
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> turuburu: if you prefer it, use it
[12:00] <turuburu> yes i prefer it, because in aptitude i must select specific packages
[12:00] <client> hai
[12:00] <turuburu> thanks
[12:01] <Vinceman> Joe_, what is the abbreviation sdb1 meant for anyway
[12:01] <Vinceman> ?
[12:01] <client> hai
[12:01] <client> jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
[12:01] <turuburu> another question: i cant find how to install pico in ubuntu server, although in ubuntu desktop was easy to install
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> why do so many package managers exist when they achieve the same goal. I cant differentiate between them
[12:01] <Flannel> client: Please stop
[12:01] <client> ok
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> turuburu: sudo apt-get install pico
[12:01] <Flannel> turuburu: pico isn't Free, but nano is already installed.
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> turuburu: if thats no good, try tab completing
[12:01] <Joe_> vinceman actually.. I don't know, mine are all hd...
[12:01] <turuburu> actionparsnip: itdid not exist
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> nano is AWESOME
[12:02] <Vinceman> Joe_ I see only harddisk entries
[12:02] <turuburu> flannel: thanks for the tip. i did not know nano! :)
[12:02] <client> joe hai
[12:02] <lianimator> Does anyone know how do I receive mails from junkbox of hotmail using Evolution
[12:02] <turuburu> forgetpico then
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> turuburu: apt-cache search pico | less
[12:02] <client> flanel
[12:02] <turuburu> so i should put non-free repository
[12:02] <Vinceman> is linux soft?
[12:02] <turuburu> action.. it was not there because maybe of it was not free and i did not touch the repos
[12:02] <Flannel> turuburu: No.  non-free doesn't exist for linux, just use nano, it's a Free version of pico
[12:02] <turuburu> but flaneel thanks for nano
[12:02] <WhiteBlueDragon> until when are there security updates for Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) ?
[12:02] <Joe_> vinceman sdb is the last entry?
[12:02] <Flannel> WhiteBlueDragon: 18 months, so until April of next year
[12:03] <WhiteBlueDragon> Flannel: thanks a lot
[12:03] <Vinceman> man fdisk doesn't look for dvd-stations
[12:03] <Joe_> vinceman yes, but they go in order
[12:03] <Joe_> vinceman so take the last entry, I'll assume sdb, your first dvd drive should be sdc and teh second would be sdd
[12:04] <sajuuk> ActionParsnip, im going to do another pastebin with what I have compiled
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: sure
[12:04] <j0nr> should just a standard install of vsftpd allow me to log in remotely? if so, is it just by entering my routers external ip address?
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> j0nr: you will need to setup port forwarding to the linux box
[12:05] <karotu> can anyone help with ricoh sd card reader please?
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> j0nr: some routers call it virtual server
[12:06] <exodus_ms> lianimator> try this--> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=200408 there is a section on 'junk mail' in there somewhere :)
[12:06] <schone0a-> hey guys is there an easy way to set all files not folders to a certain chmod
[12:06] <Flannel> schone0a-: What are you trying to do?
[12:07] <scientes_> why arnt there any good search tools for gui
[12:07] <schone0a-> I have TV Series/Episode 1/File.avi etc. I want to set the File.avi to chmod 644
[12:08] <scientes_> like search this folder for this text
[12:08] <Joe_> scientes search tools for the gui?
[12:08] <schone0a-> I want to set all files in sub folders
[12:08] <scientes_> beagle and tracker thy to be everything to everybody
[12:08] <scientes_> and they have no options for simple domains etc
[12:08] <sajuuk> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/m7318f069
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> scientes_: whats wrond with find?
[12:09] <exodus_ms> lianimator> or install the bogofilter plugin
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: can you shed any light on that xorg.conf. trying to set up laptopp with external display unit
[12:10] <lianimator> exodus_ms: I have bogofilter.. but I think it's for filtering out junkmails which gets into evolution. I need to GET junkmails from my hotmail first.
[12:11] <sajuuk> ActionParsnip, hows it look, I think I have done a good job, I turned off Xinerama because I dont have that installed (I think) on my hardy machine.
[12:12] <Joe_> I take it from the silent viceman figured it out?
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: not too sure
[12:12] <lianimator> exodus_ms: I didn't find anything about junkmail on the thread.. I guess I'll try to turn off junkmail filter in hotmail itself.
[12:13] <Joe_> vinceman if you don't have it yet, a guess (based off what you've said) you just need to add this line to your fstab: /dev/scd1       /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[12:13] <feroz> hello

[12:15]  * NetM is away: I'm busy
[12:15] <Joe_> 8.04 (was also present in 7.10): random hard locks requiring a power reboot, seemingly random but could be related to long term high bandwidth usage
[12:15] <sajuuk> ActionParsnip, just remember that hpmonitor is my external monitor for the lap top
[12:16] <sajuuk> rather, monitorhp
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> sajuuk: i get it, im just not sure. i think you need another pair of eyes that aint mine

[12:18] <Pirate_Hunter> it is possible to install linux on a dell xps?
[12:18] <ikonia> Pirate_Hunter: running well on mine
[12:18] <Joe_> pirate_hunter should work on just about anything
[12:18] <hateball> Pirate_Hunter❅ I'm typing this from a XPS M1710 atm
[12:18] <ikonia> Pirate_Hunter: depends which model and the hardware support
[12:18] <schone0a-> Pirate_Hunter: dell have specific isos
[12:18] <schone0a-> punch in dell wiki linux iso into google should find something
[12:19] <ikonia> schone0a- are you sure about that ?
[12:19] <Pirate_Hunter> ikonia, Joe_, hateball: ty, ikonia well xps 420 just want to make sure
[12:19] <ikonia> Pirate_Hunter: check the hardware you have in your model, but should be fine
[12:19] <Joe_> pirate_hunter when in doubt, use a livecd
[12:20] <Pirate_Hunter> schone0a-, why did dell have to be so complicated, ikonia ok will do so, Joe_, so true
[12:21] <ndlovu> Joe_, could it be a power supply problem causing your system to lock? I've had very random problems related to P.S.
[12:21] <hateball> Pirate_Hunter❅ I'm using the normal ubuntu install on mine, I'm sure most do
[12:22] <Joe_> ndlovu thought so too, old power supply had a slight fluctuation on one of the 5v rails, within specs but barely... I replaced it a few months ago... no change
[12:22] <kieko> hallo ubuntu leute

[12:26] <ikonia> legendsohai: bridge with/for what ?
[12:26] <legendsohai> for virtualbox
[12:27] <ndlovu> Joe_, maybe try torrent off a livecd on the same machine and see if it still freezes?
[12:27] <ikonia> !virtualbox > legendsohai
[12:27] <ikonia> legendsohai: there is also the #vbox channel
[12:27] <Vinceman> Joe, don't you forget ,exec,utf8 ?

[12:31] <Dr_Willis64> fede,  check out the docs for whatver irc client you use also :) is handy.
[12:31] <lianimator> does anyone know why I can't start a program automatically after a certain amount of time at startup? e.g. start transmission after 10 secs. "sleep 10 && transmission" does not start transmission!
[12:32] <Dr_Willis64> lianimator,  how are you trying to start them up?
[12:32] <darkhamm> where i can find a review about compatibility power and quality between xine gstreamer and mplayer?
[12:32] <lianimator> Dr_Willis64: I added the command to startup in sessions.
[12:32] <jrib> lianimator: probably because it expects a binary, not shell code
[12:32] <Spatman_> Anyone with here skilled with php
[12:33] <Dr_Willis64> lianimator,  you may want to make a script that does the task and call that script from  the startup-session manager tool.
[12:33] <chris_> hi everybody
[12:33] <jrib> lianimator: or at least some_program, not shell code
[12:33] <lianimator> jrib: I would have to write a script?
[12:33] <lianimator> Dr_Willis64: jrib: thanks.
[12:33] <Guest53730> Hi... I am having a problem with my Samsung R41 notebook. It appears that ever since I installed Intrepid, the fans are constantly on. Have there been ACPI changes? How could I work around this?

[12:34] <Kingsy101> is there kind of like a standard one that the majority of people use in ubuntu?

[12:35] <king> I am on Dell 1525. The webcam used to work in 'cheese' before I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 ie in 8.04. Now it doesn't work.
[12:35] <king> !webcam
[12:35] <Dr_Willis64> Kingsy101,  geany is sort of made with 'programming' in mind.
[12:35] <Dr_Willis64> Kingsy101,  i also like 'cream' and 'fte'
[12:35] <Kingsy101> yea thats what I need really, cos thats what I am doing in it
[12:35] <Kingsy101> hmmm ok
[12:35] <meganox> Kingsy101: check out the plugins in Gedit, you can enable syntax highlighting and line numbering
[12:35] <werdnum> everybody knows what webcams are for.
[12:36] <sleepy_cat> Hi help me out plx
[12:36] <Kingsy101> meganox - how?
[12:36] <chris_> everytime I restart my net I get this in /var/log/messages ndiswrapper (add_wep_key:xxx): adding encryption key 1 failed
[12:37] <chris_> any ideas ?

[12:37] <Cheery> hi, is there a way to get interactive components to desktop in ubuntu?
[12:38] <ikonia> Cheery such as ?
[12:38] <Dr_Willis64> sleepy_cat,   I thought you doubleclicked to open the trash and then select items/right click - undelete them some how...
[12:38] <Vinceman> what is the %u-parameter meant to say?
[12:38] <Cheery> ikonia: I'd want to get the workspace switcher to my desktop, instead of a toolbar
[12:38] <Vinceman> I bet it is just an indication that a parameter is possible, right?
[12:38] <Guest53730> Still wondering what could be done about a constantly running notebook fan on my Samsung R41 after upgrading to Intrepid... It hardly ever went on with Hardy...
[12:38] <Kingsy101> meganox - cool, do I need to download that from the site or can I use a get -apt command?
[12:38] <sleepy_cat> no when i right click on the item it doesnt give me undelete anyhow
[12:38] <ikonia> Cheery thats a tool bar application
[12:39] <Cheery> ikonia: doesn't need to be the same application
[12:39] <meganox> Kingsy101: http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins
[12:39] <Dr_Willis64> sleepy_cat,  i right click on a item in the trash and theres a 'restore' menu item
[12:40] <kiosk_> cek
[12:40] <Vinceman> how do you run fstab?
[12:40] <odinsbane> How do I find my modem?
[12:40] <meganox> Kingsy101: yes, apt-get install gedit-plugins
[12:40] <Dr_Willis64> Vinceman,  you dont.. to get fstab to be 'reread' by the system use 'sudo mount -a '
[12:40] <meganox> Kingsy101: and google for third party syntax highlighters for various languages
[12:41] <Vinceman> Dr_Willis64 I get : mount: mount point  does not exist
[12:41] <CanadianLinux> Can someone help me with being able to run 2 instances of Xchat in Ubuntu. I want to be able have them each have their own plugins and settings.
[12:41] <Dr_Willis64> Vinceman,  then you either did a typo. or have an improper entry in the fstab file.
[12:41] <Kingsy101> meganox - doesnt the command download that for you?
[12:42] <Dr_Willis64> Vinceman,  when mounting somtning the directory you are mounting the device to MUST exist beforhand.
[12:42] <Kingsy101> ok, I am downloading the plugins now, once they have downloaded can I just go into gedit and enable the ones I want?
[12:42] <JC_Denton_> is there a c++ ide that has intellisense (auto complete)like functionality? Especially when working with the gtk libraries?
[12:43] <Lord`Saladin> When I load up the Update Manager, it is telling me to do a partial upgrade as not all packages could be installed. Is it wise to do a partial upgrade?
[12:43]  * Lord`Saladin has never had this problem before
[12:44] <meganox> Kingsy101: gedit uses GtkSourceView for syntax highlighting, you just need to find/write XML files for the languages you want, details are in the first article
[12:44] <Kingsy101> ok...
[12:44] <Kingsy101> thanks
[12:45] <meganox> Kingsy101: many languages should be built-in
[12:45] <Vinceman> Joe_? you still there?
[12:45] <meganox> Kingsy101: I haven't used it for that, I use vi mostly
[12:46] <susscorfa> I'm wondering when tracker indexs mail does it ignore the rules about the number of KB that are to be indexed per file, since mbox files are far larger and i want them to be indexed as a whole
[12:47] <DarkKnight> hey can i know why Open source and Free Software OS' are called distros while Windows OS' is are not called distros
[12:48] <Dr_Willis64> DarkKnight,  because MS dosent want to use that term. :)
[12:48] <peterz> also, for windows, there really isn't an alternative distribution
[12:48] <norbert79> DarkKnight: Ok, I don't want to get too much in details, but lets summarize it: Linux is the kernel, all around sourrinding applications (shell, X) are bunch of programs, called together distribtution. Windows is ONE prodcut
[12:48] <Dr_Willis64> 'linux ditrobution' = 'linux variant' perhaps..
[12:49] <norbert79> !distribution
[12:49] <norbert79> eh, not good

[12:53] <jrib> vivz: #gtk+ on GIMPNet or on freenode then
[12:53] <Dr_Willis64> thats still a big area :)

[12:53] <vivz> oh ok.. i am sorry.. i am new to IRC as well as linux
[12:54] <vivz> gtk+ on ALP platform

[12:55] <Maveas> Is it posible to install a mobile version of linux on a nokia N73? :S
[12:56] <DarkKnight> norbert79; okk... so 4.10 means october 2004
[12:56] <DarkKnight> in ubuntu
[12:56] <norbert79> DarkKnight: Exactly.
[12:56] <norbert79> DarkKnight: That is the date when the first Ubuntu was available
[12:56] <vladtsepesh1984> some help me to install and use envy gui interface?
[12:57] <susscorfa> I'm wondering when tracker indexs mail does it ignore the rules about the number of KB that are to be indexed per file, since mbox files are far larger and i want them to be indexed as a whole
[12:57] <jrib> vladtsepesh1984: why aren't you using Hardware Drivers instead?
[12:57] <tomcheng76> vladtsepesh1984: which graphic card a u using?
[12:57] <DarkKnight> norbert79; okk i was just checking out....ubuntu's the fastest growing distro as indicated by distrowatch.....this is also evident from the ubuntuforums
[12:57] <pedro> hi every1
[12:57] <vladtsepesh1984> i'm using nvidia gt8500 card
[12:58] <SSgtSpoon> Hey pedro
[12:58] <tomcheng76> Can nm 0.7 in Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64 Set DNS for DSL Connection? it already get the ISP DNS and replace my resolv.conf
[12:58] <king> How do I change the drivers that my integrated webcam uses? I need to change them to v4l2.
[12:58] <snek> i've had problems with DNS in Ubuntu 8.10 as well on some machines
[12:58] <norbert79> DarkKnight: Indeed, as it is based on Debian, and Debian packages are also compaitble with Ubuntu... Ubuntu alsways uses the 'unstable' part from Debian. This gives you always the latest, but not always the most stable packages.
[12:58] <snek> i fixed it by removing all network managers hehehe
 i am using 8600GT and everything is fined with restricted driver 177
[12:59] <king> snek, with me, without manually setting the DNS in network manager browsing never worked.
[12:59] <vladtsepesh1984> i know...also for me is everiting ok but i cant play mkv files...
[12:59] <snek> somehow the network manager liked to overwrite my settings because it kept grabbing things from dhcp, eventhough the connection was setup manually
[13:00] <snek> mkv files should play fine in VLC and Xine, no?
[13:00] <snek> i used them all the time
[13:00] <DarkKnight> norbert; i m actually trying to get into the deveopment side of ubuntu as part of my project......but its taking time and i even hardly know all the types of directories.....any idea how i can learn all these quickly
[13:00] <snek> -d*
[13:00] <jrib> mkv is a container format
[13:00] <snek> yep
 : did you try w32codecs / w64codecs on medi ubuntu repository ?
[13:01] <vladtsepesh1984> hum...no
[13:01] <snek> hmm i've never seen a windows codec inside an mkv, but i guess it might be possible :S
[13:01] <norbert79> DarkKnight: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment
[13:01] <vladtsepesh1984> can you help me do that
[13:01] <king> !v4l

[13:03] <XB23> hi guys ive added this line to /etc/hosts <IP_ADDRESS>       www.google.com
[13:03] <vladtsepesh1984> 8.10
[13:03] <vladtsepesh1984> x86
[13:03] <XB23> but when i do dig www.google.com it stills shows the outside ip
[13:03] <XB23> and not the <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:03] <joseph__> hello
[13:03] <snek> echo "deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ intrepid free non-free" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:03] <snek> wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update
[13:04] <RichiH> XB23: dig asks the nameservers
[13:04] <norbert79> XB23: as DNS servers return with the address registered in the DNS servers... yet I doubt you would be able to connect to google.com using that line :)
[13:04] <XB23> oh
[13:04] <RichiH> XB23: it does not care about /etc/hosts
[13:04] <XB23> i dont want to connect to google norbert79
[13:04] <XB23> its a test im doing
[13:04] <XB23> if i did curl www.google.com
[13:04] <RichiH> XB23: ping google.com
[13:04] <XB23> ah k
[13:04] <dsdeiz> any good package to test my webcam?
[13:04] <RichiH> you will see the IP it's using
[13:05] <king> dsdeiz, cheese
[13:05] <norbert79> XB23: It also depends on the DNS servers you are using...
[13:05] <XB23> nope still using the google name
[13:05] <joseph__> can someone help with the wifi driver rt2860  ? I have installed it , it works on ra0, scans correctly, but no way to use it with WPA and network-manager
[13:05] <heliks> hi
[13:05] <tomcheng76> snek: obviously you need  this      sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[13:05] <king> joseph__, In 8.10 the Network-manager automatically handles WPA.
[13:05] <newfeats> how come i can't install gnome-desktop-environment in the mini iso?  it says that keyring is missing for gnome.  but that's all that it needs.
[13:05] <subdolus> Trying to get dual-head display working on ubuntu-eee. Last time I set this up i came across a weird little tool that gave me some options, on the side it had "Screen 1", "screen 2" and you can set the default screen etc.
[13:05] <XB23> so how would i do it so www.google.com on my box points to <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:05] <dsdeiz> thanks
[13:05] <subdolus> i cant for the life of me find that little guy again
[13:05] <subdolus> ring any bells with anyone?
[13:06] <jrib> XB23: you did it already
[13:06] <DarkKnight> norbert; yes i have gone thru that...it says that that i need to fix bugs..etc
[13:06] <king> subdolus, Maybe a gui for xrandr
[13:06] <ndo> Guys, anyone any advice where to start reading about how to setup/install mysql and postgre?
[13:06] <snek> tomcheng76: i somehow doubt there's a windows codec in an mkv.. i've never ever seen that, but it IS possible ;)
[13:06] <joseph__> yes king  that works with ndiswrapper
[13:06] <ndo> !mysql
[13:06] <XB23> jrib when i do ping it shows the real ip
[13:06] <XB23> and not <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:06] <king> ndo, Yes that page is pretty much it.
 go here   http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-mplayer-and-multimedia-codecs-libdvdcss2w32codecsw64codecs-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html
[13:06] <joseph__> but I try to get the rt2860  working as well
[13:06] <norbert79> DarkKnight: Well, you need to be a bit more specific, because I tought you are looking for some infos on how Ubuntu is being developed, and I think wiki.ubuntu.com is a great source to it
[13:06] <jrib> XB23: save the file?  If you wrote it properly, it should work
[13:07] <XB23> well if i go back into it it shows the saved changes
[13:07] <king> !wifi > joseph__
[13:07] <jrib> XB23: pastebin your file
[13:07] <joseph__> ok ubottu
[13:07] <ndo> king: ty, and not ubuntu? if on something redhat side?
[13:07] <DarkKnight> norbert; i have the whole idea about it.....
[13:07] <rblst> if i print any PDF file, the output is scrambled/enlarged; this only goes for PDF; the printer used to work fine (i have an Ubuntu 8.04 with the latest updates), does anyone happen to know how to solve this?
[13:07] <DarkKnight> norbert; and right now i just got curious abt the history of ubuntu...so i was searching out
[13:08] <king> ndo, The configuration instructions would remain the same. Just get hold of the right packages.
[13:08] <tomcheng76> usually mkv are mpeg4, but i think he is able to play avi file :- )
[13:08] <XB23> http://pastebin.com/m77bca216
[13:08] <XB23> theres the file
[13:08] <norbert79> DarkKnight: You might want to check the Ubuntu magazines, http://www.fullcirclemagazine.org
[13:08] <DarkKnight> norbert79; i m trying to get into the development team...so i spend lots of time in the forums and here too
[13:08] <snek> vlad, what player are you using to play the MKV files?
[13:09] <joseph__> thanks for the message ubuntulog
[13:09] <norbert79> DarkKnight: I dount that would be that easy, and yes, you jhave to be pretty active on sending bugreports, diff files, etc etc
[13:09] <jrib> XB23: ah, but is anything listening on <IP_ADDRESS>?  I think ping will move on if what it tries in /etc/hosts doesn't work at first
[13:09] <ndo> king: k
[13:09] <XB23> well it dosent even try <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:09] <norbert79> DarkKnight: Spending time somewhere doesn'T make anyone a developer yet. Tough I am pretty sure that any help is warmly welcomed, yet you have to prove, that you are capable on handling problems, and solve problems
[13:10] <norbert79> DarkKnight: So as first step, start hunting down bugs, sending bugreports, solutions to bugs, etc etc
[13:10] <iaindb> Hi all.  I don't have Ubunto, but I have a blog entry popular with you guys :) Can someone tell me what package the binary setxkbmap is in? (or is there an Ubuntu package search website?) thx
[13:10] <DarkKnight> norbert79; ya...so 1st i thought i would become more familiar with the filesystem etc.... and networking...get a sound info abt how the OS works...so i thought i might get back to the basics
[13:10] <XB23> jrib
[13:10] <jrib> XB23: it won't tell you it tried
[13:10] <XB23> here is my ping
[13:10] <XB23> http://pastebin.com/m5cf96667
[13:10] <norbert79> DarkKnight: Get subscribed to the developer maillist
[13:10] <DarkKnight> norbert79; okk...
[13:11] <snek> iaindb: http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[13:11] <norbert79> DarkKnight: Ah, so you just have started using Linux... Well, get familiar with the basics first then...
[13:11] <jrib> XB23: use <IP_ADDRESS> (www.yahoo.com) and see
[13:11] <norbert79> DarkKnight: There are some good documentations on generic Linux guides on the net
[13:11] <tomcheng76> apt-cache search setxkbmap
[13:11] <tomcheng76> x11-xkb-utils - X11 XKB utilities
[13:11] <tomcheng76> xfce4-xkb-plugin - xkb layout switch plugin for the Xfce4 panel
[13:12] <iaindb> tomcheng76: don't have apt-cache :) but I found it thanks to the link from snek :)
[13:12] <DarkKnight> norbert79; its not that i just started using linux...the fact is that i had been using since the past 6-7 months....got handy with certain commands..... and now started off with the SAG....wat do u think
[13:12] <XB23> hmm so i need to setup <IP_ADDRESS>?
[13:12] <iaindb> thanks all :)
[13:13] <DarkKnight> norbert79; i 1st used Debian...then got onto ubuntu.....
[13:13] <XB23> 64 bytes from <IP_ADDRESS>: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.038 ms
[13:13] <erbi> if i have a tar.gz of a flashplayer, how do i install it ? thanks alot in advance.
[13:13] <XB23> <IP_ADDRESS> is working
[13:13] <DarkKnight> norbert79; and i started loving ubuntu
[13:13] <hateball> erbi❅ Follow the instructions where you downloaded it from, or inside the tar
[13:13] <tomcheng76> erbi"  tar xvf abc.tar.gz
[13:13] <XB23> does ubuntu cache anything with /etc/hosts
[13:13] <norbert79> DarkKnight: You might still consider on getting know more different linuxes. You sound to be still a beginner, I think you will need to learn a bit more... Start making your own packages, try to understand the differences between different package handlers, start looking for documentations on security, etc etc
[13:13] <jrib> erbi: delete it.  Install the flashplugin-nonfree package from multiverse using your favorite package manager instead
[13:14] <norbert79> DarkKnight: I am pretty sure you enjoy being part all of this, but give yourself a bit more time
[13:14] <dietwater> How do you get a static mac address?  Mine changes every once in a while and i rely on a network that authenticates on mac instead of password.
[13:14] <erbi> i wish to install a native 64bit adobe flash player
[13:14] <reenignEesreveR> anyone uses rsync?
[13:14] <norbert79> DarkKnight: and learn more... You are not ready yet, young Skywalker :)
[13:14] <DarkKnight> norbert79; ohh...ya.....where do i get more info on packages
[13:14] <ddgoose> reenignEesreveR, yes
[13:14] <norbert79> DarkKnight: Well, that would be your first task, finding this out :)
[13:14] <DarkKnight> norbert79; ya nice usage....skywalker
[13:15] <reenignEesreveR> ddgoose ... do you use ti with rsync server or without server?
[13:15] <hateball> erbi❅ I'm not sure (not on a 64bitmachine atm) but I think you only need to put the libflash.so in /usr/lib/
[13:15] <norbert79> DarkKnight: Find out how many different package methods are used, there is .deb for example as you might know, but what are the others?
[13:15] <norbert79> :)
[13:15] <ddgoose> reenignEesreveR, I have a 2 stage ubuntu repo, so just the client
[13:15] <dietwater> How do you get a static mac address?  Mine changes every once in a while and i rely on a network that authenticates on mac instead of password.
[13:15] <FebruariusX> hello everybody i have some question about HAProxy.?
[13:15] <tomcheng76> tar -xvzf flashplayer10_install_linux_*.tar.gz
[13:15] <norbert79> DarkKnight: That would be a good start
[13:15] <ziroday> erbi: how come you can't use the normal way of installing flash?
[13:16] <DarkKnight> norbert79; the other is rpm
[13:16] <erbi> no it still will run 32bit natively through 32bit libraries
[13:16] <jrib> erbi: drop the .so in ~/.mozilla/plugins/ then.  Remove the flashplugin-nonfree package
[13:16] <norbert79> DarkKnight: Thats also one method, yes, but there are way more
[13:16]  * NetM is back (gone 01:01:12)
[13:16] <DarkKnight> norbert79; u are gud at giving assignments....i m starting here....also i started a blog of my own....wish to see it....??  http://ossarchives.blogspot.com/
[13:16] <jrib> !away > NetM
[13:16] <ddgoose> dietwater, your mac address should not change for no reason
[13:16] <erbi> my flash keeps crashing time to time
[13:17] <tomcheng76> ziroday: there is problem in 64bit flash nonfree package, we have to install the beta one
[13:17] <dietwater> Well I added mine to their list and it changed after a restart...
[13:17] <ddgoose> dietwater, did you mean ip address?
[13:17] <erbi> and since im running 64bit, i would like to run flash player through 64bit natively
[13:17] <norbert79> DarkKnight: You could also try to compile your own packages, or at least your oiwn binaries... To understand the way how hard/easy on creating binaries is...
[13:17] <ziroday> tomcheng76: understood, shouldn't have jumped in :)
[13:17] <jrib> erbi: then do it
[13:17] <norbert79> DarkKnight: Then you could create your own deb packages
[13:17] <madduck> i have two ubuntu 8.10 and on one, a new icon pops up when i add a usb stick, and on the other nothing happens.
[13:17] <dietwater> No, I mean mac address.  I'm not a nubcake lol.
[13:17] <jrib> erbi: though the native 64bit flash is crashy for me.  On intrepid flash through nspluginwrapper has yet to crash for me
[13:17] <madduck> how can i fix the latter (which was born as a 7.04 system, while the first one was born as 8.04)
[13:18] <hateball> erbi❅ http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2008/11/25/64-bit-adobe-flash-ubuntu.html
[13:18] <ndo> [root@localhost ~]# mysql -u root
[13:18] <ndo> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[13:18] <DarkKnight> norbert79; okk...so where do i get the packages that i need to compile...any idea
[13:18] <ndo> any suggestions?:)
[13:18] <hateball> erbi❅ make sure you remove nspluginwrapper etc as well
[13:18] <king> !php > ndo
[13:18] <ziroday> ndo: try do mysql -u root -p
[13:18] <ddgoose> dietwater, what hardware?
[13:18] <norbert79> DarkKnight: Well, this is why I have told you to make yourself familiar with packaging methods first. Then you can start building your own binaaries, like take Pidgin for example, and try to compile the source.
[13:19] <king> ndo, by default, the package manager would have asked you to setup a password for mysql.
[13:19] <DarkKnight> norbert79; thanx buddy....u have been a gr8 help....can we know each other
[13:19] <dietwater> Whats the command to see networking drivers again?
[13:19] <ndo> ziroday: -p is? :)
[13:19] <dietwater> nm
[13:19] <ziroday> ndo: password
[13:19] <sfears> when i use the lsusb command.. how do i tell which /dev/??? the item is to mount?
[13:19] <norbert79> DarkKnight: You could also take some time, and read through this: The Linux System Administrators' Guide: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/sag.pdf
[13:19] <ndo> king: yes, idd, but.. sec
[13:19] <snek> btw, for anyone trying to setup a LAMP with Ubuntu maybe I suggest the excellent SliceHost articles? ;) http://articles.slicehost.com/ubuntu-hardy
[13:19] <hateball> sfears❅ you can just type: mount
[13:20] <norbert79> DarkKnight: You are warmly welcome. Certainly
[13:20] <ziroday> ndo: you should have a passoword as default therefore you do mysql -u root -p and then a password prompt will appear
[13:20] <erbi> thanks alot jrib
[13:20] <TuxSympathiser> I am getting reandom kernel panics and I believe they are due to a problem with the ethernet drivers!
[13:20] <DarkKnight> norbert79; I am Roshan from India....
[13:20] <TuxSympathiser> now all I need to do is prove this and/or find a fix
[13:20] <ziroday> ndo: without -p mysql thinks you want to login with no password and give you access denied errors
[13:20] <DarkKnight> norbert79; u??
[13:20] <tomcheng76> TuxSympathiser: what network adaptor a u using
[13:20] <Cacheaway> Is there a way to determine which package a specific file came from?
[13:20] <ndo> ziroday: k ty
[13:20] <MAXIMOO7> Hey all together, i am a LInux/Ubuntu Newb and need really Help to configure the ATI Drivers. Does someone off you have 5 min please?
[13:20] <dietwater> So how I get my wifi driver?
[13:21] <norbert79> DarkKnight: Check your private messages
[13:21] <dietwater> I know mine starts with an M XD.
[13:21] <sfears> can you be more specific hateball?
[13:21] <IndyGunFreak> dietwater: do you k now what device you have?
[13:21] <erbi> jrib: so you prefer the flashplugin-nonfree through nspluginwrapper over the native 64bit flash ?
[13:21] <hateball> sfears❅ To see what mounts you currently have, just type: mount
[13:21] <hateball> sfears❅ It doesnt get more specific
[13:21] <jrib> erbi: yes
[13:22] <erbi> jrib: also, when you say crashy, what do you mean?
[13:22] <TuxSympathiser> tomcheng76, I think it is an intel ethernet adapter
[13:22] <hateball> erbi❅ I run 64bit, and imo it's better
[13:22] <dietwater> It's a marvell.  I remembered.
[13:22] <erbi> how often
[13:22] <tomcheng76> MAXIMOO7: i cant help you. I know i need Ubuntu, so i choose nvidia :-)
[13:22] <jrib> erbi: it crashes my browser
[13:22] <ndo> ok im in with "mysql -u root -p"
[13:22] <TuxSympathiser> tomcheng76, not too sure about the model number though
[13:22] <erbi> ah
[13:22] <IndyGunFreak> dietwater: is this an internal wireless device?
[13:22] <tomcheng76> TuxSympathiser: what is the output of lspci
[13:22] <dietwater> Should be an internal wifi modem.
[13:22] <jrib> erbi: when I view certain flash sites (it was some google video iirc).  You can give it a try though and see if it works for yo
[13:22] <dietwater> I had a problem with it back in 8.04.
[13:23] <hateball> erbi, jrib: I havent had one crash since switching to native 64bit instead of nsplugin... but I guess ymmw :)
[13:23] <XB23> ah ha solved it jrib
[13:23] <XB23> nnswitch.conf
[13:23] <IndyGunFreak> dietwater: open a terminal and type "lspci" hit enter, and see if it lists the wireless device in the list that comes up
[13:23] <XB23> hosts: dns files
[13:23] <XB23> swaped it to files dns
[13:23] <erbi> so, could you tell me how to have the same flash setup as you? installing flashplugin-nonfree through synaptic package manager, then what?
[13:23] <XB23> and it works
[13:23] <jrib> XB23: strange, that's not default
[13:23] <snek> MAXIMOO7: the Restricted Drivers helper should be able to install the ATI drivers for you, if you have a radeon based card
[13:23] <XB23> not sure
[13:23] <XB23> works now though
[13:23] <ndlovu> sfears, you need to type 'mount' from a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal)
[13:23] <dietwater> Sorry, it's an atheros.
[13:24] <IndyGunFreak> dietwater: there's a lot of atheros devices, what exactly does it say
[13:24] <dietwater> Atheros ar928x pci-express
[13:24] <jrib> erbi: that's it
[13:24] <alex_21> I wan't to make my gdm login look like the Mac. Can anyone walk me through it?
[13:24] <jrib> !themes | alex_21
[13:24] <TuxSympathiser> tomcheng76, Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller
[13:24] <tomcheng76> administrator: are you really admin? i want to revoke this irc nikename, i forgot the password :O)
[13:24] <sfears> how do i figure out what /dev/sda my usb is attached to?
[13:24] <jrib> tomcheng76: #freenode
[13:25] <ziroday> alex_21: well have you found a GDM theme you want to use?
[13:25] <erbi> i dont have to do anything with the nspluginwrapper ?
[13:25] <sfears> how do i figure out what /dev/sda my usb device* is attached to?
[13:25] <jrib> erbi: no, synaptic does that for you
[13:25] <maek0> alex_21, http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Apple+Mac+OSX+Session+Login?content=68346
[13:25] <ziroday> sfears: you can do sudo fdisk -l and looking for the matching size
[13:25] <dietwater> Anyone? =)
[13:25] <dietwater> alex_21: gnome-look.org
[13:26] <IndyGunFreak> dietwater: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=894177
[13:26] <alex_21> Woops, I forgot. I am blind, so I need two things. I need a gdm theme that looks like the username - password login vs the icon login, and a cli way for installing the theme
[13:26] <erbi> i got another question, do you run a 64bit browser or 32bit ?
[13:26] <dietwater> My card works.  The problem is my mac address changed, and I'm worried it will again.  Is this just a weird problem?
[13:27] <snek> your mac adress changed? hmmm
[13:27] <tomcheng76> TuxSympathiser: i think the problem came from e1000 module
[13:27] <dietwater> I added mine to the school's list, and then it changed the next day and I'm like wut?
[13:27] <dietwater> That made perfect sense =)
[13:27] <TuxSympathiser> tomcheng76, so it is possible that is causing the kernel panics, I started to notice it shortly after updating last week
[13:28] <ddgoose> dietwater, probably has something to do with udev and forcedeth, take a loot at dmesg and see if it is giving an error and generating a random MAC
[13:28] <alex_21> Anyone?
[13:28] <TuxSympathiser> tomcheng76, the driver being used is e1000e
[13:28] <dietwater> This was a while ago, thanks for that command, I'll try once I re-change it =)
[13:29] <ddgoose> dietwater, will show up in logs like -> 0000:00:0a.0: Invalid Mac address detected: 1d:9b:2a:38:1b:00
[13:29] <snek> i like doing a:  sudo less /var/log/dmesg
[13:29] <snek> makes it a bit easier to scroll through :)
[13:30] <erbi> in default, after installing ubuntu 8.10 x86_64, when you run mozilla firefox, its running the 64bit browser correct?
[13:30] <dietwater> I got a "unknown MAC"
[13:30] <alex_21> I can't use a theme manager, but since front ends only make a gui on a cli, what is the cli?
[13:30] <Joe_> ha, after a year of suffering with these freezes I found it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/147464
[13:30] <jrib> erbi: yes
[13:31] <tomcheng76> TuxSympathiser: did u suspend/resume your laptop ?
[13:31] <Joe_> apparently the moral of the story is... if you're generous with your fiber connection and leave torrents up forever with no connection or upload limit.. Ubuntu will freeze
[13:31] <PeskyJ> !xml
[13:31] <dietwater> [2.559635] r8169 0000:0a:00.0:  unknown MAC (27a00000)
[13:31] <PeskyJ> what's widely regarded as the best xml editor?
[13:32] <dietwater> vim =)
[13:32] <sfears> how do i figure out what /dev/??? my usb device is attached to?
[13:32] <DjViper> PeskyJ: careful now :P
[13:32] <snek> sfears: sudo fdisk -l
[13:32] <dietwater> sda1 or sdb1
[13:32] <alex_21> I use VI/VIM, but that is probably because that is what I'm stuck with without any alternative
[13:32] <snek> then just match the size
[13:32] <PeskyJ> DjViper: hum.. holy wars?
[13:32] <DjViper> PeskyJ: something like that yes heh
[13:33] <alex_21> But Vim is really powerful
[13:33] <PeskyJ> DjViper: any relatively objective views appreciated
[13:33] <dietwater> IndyGunFreak: Still here?
[13:33] <sfears> how do i figure out for suredietwater?
[13:33] <sfears> how do i figure out for sure dietwater?
[13:33] <dietwater> you don't need to.
[13:33] <dietwater> just mount it
[13:33] <badfish69> is there a hypercam alternative for ubuntu?
[13:34] <sfears> what if i have multiple devices?
[13:34] <sfears> an SD card for instance
[13:34] <snek> they all have the same size?
[13:34] <snek> you could do an fdisk -l with it disconnected, then do the same with it connected and find which one gets added :P
[13:35] <sfears> i don't see the usb devices using the fdisk command
[13:35] <SiD|67> Cu
[13:35] <sfears> what if i have multiple devices dietwater?
[13:35] <core5> poeloe
[13:35] <dietwater> sda/b/c/d
[13:35] <dietwater> then a 1
[13:36] <core5> surabaya
[13:36] <dietwater> mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
[13:36] <dietwater> mkdir if /mnt/sda1 doesnt exist
[13:36] <TuxSympathiser> tomcheng, suspend and hibernate are disabled due to the known issues with them!
[13:36] <dietwater> and once you found the one you need, unmount all and give a descriptive name
[13:36] <snek> hehehe
