[07:45] <cishpix> jointman, I suggest u download 8.04.1 coz it's newer than 7.10
[07:45] <Atax> Hi all, when placing a text-file in ~ I can open it by pressing ALT+F2 and typing in the name of the text file. If I however place that same text file in ~/Music or ~/Documents it won't open anymore (via ALT+F2). Why is that?
[07:45] <cishpix> jointman, or u can wait until 8.10 release in this month
[07:46] <alanbshepard77> I need help setting up SSH. My SSH client needs the private id_rsa key file and my Ubuntu desktop is supposed to have the ascii public key. How do I go about making the key and making sure I give the right part to the right half?
[07:46] <psicobra> actually i do have a question i have 2 x sata drives sometimes when copying i can get 40-50 MB a sec but most of the time it will only transfur at between 10 and 14 MB/sec any ideas why?
[07:46] <Kartagis> Atax, probably ~/Music or ~/Documents aren't in $PATH
[07:46] <Cernex> Yo' simple question: is the RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI compatible with Hardy?
[07:47] <Cernex> So far so good, it has been compatible with Gutsy and Feisty out-of-the-box
[07:47] <Cernex> But I'm not sure about Hardy
[07:48] <Kartagis> Cernex, if it's compatible with Gutsy and Feisty, it's compatible with Hardy

[07:53] <lodder> well done psicobra
[07:53] <psicobra> i type sudo mount /dev/sdc /home/username/media
[07:53] <psicobra> but it says  you must specify the filesystem type
[07:53] <psicobra> it is ext3
[07:54] <lodder> psicobra: well try mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc $HOME/media
[07:54] <Kartagis> Cernex, http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/
[07:54] <DaCapn> Read the manpage. It tells you to do what lodder just said.
[07:54] <lodder> DaCapn: thx
[07:54] <psicobra> udo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc /home/andrew/media

[07:55] <lodder> psicobra:  to paste stuff use pastbin
[07:55] <psicobra> k
[07:55] <psicobra> but any ideas
[07:55] <lodder> psicobra: wat does dmesg | tail says
[07:56] <lodder> but I think you shoudl mount /dev/sdc1 if you have a partition
[07:56] <Atax> Where does one edit the variable PATH permanently?
[07:56] <Cernex> Kartagis, my PCI isn't there
[07:56] <lodder> s/shoudl/should

[07:56] <Kartagis> Cernex, then you're out of luck
[07:56] <jim_p> !intel
[07:56] <Cernex> lol
[07:57] <jim_p> how do i ask the bot about intel gpus?
[07:57] <jay-menon> DCpom, http://paste.ubuntu.com/57764/
[07:57] <DCPom> jay-menon, i read it, did you relaunch after you installed it?
[07:57] <lodder> psicobra: but I think you should mount /dev/sdc1 if you have a partition
[07:57] <go_beep_yourself> jim_p-> check the factoids?
[07:57] <jay-menon> Yes
[07:58] <go_beep_yourself> whats a flood bot?
[07:58] <psicobra> lodder, think that worked
[07:58] <psicobra> why would it tho
[07:58] <psicobra> gparted recons the drive is called /dev/sdc
[07:58] <lodder> wel /dev/sdc = the HDD
[07:59] <Kartagis> !intel gpu
[07:59] <Kartagis> !gpu intel
[07:59] <zetheroo> my wifi was working and then there as a kernel update and its not working any more .... what happened?
[07:59] <lodder> psicobra: /dev/sdc1 <-- the partition that is formated as ext3
[07:59] <jay-menon> DCPom, any idea to solve this
[07:59] <soreau> zetheroo: Atheros?
[07:59] <DCPom> jay-menon,  not yet...
[07:59] <dulakian> psicobra: fdisk -l /dev/sdc would show you the partitions you can mount
[08:00] <zetheroo> soreau : yes ... ar242*
[08:00] <dulakian> psicobra: you mount the partition, not the drive
[08:00] <psicobra> gotcha nice 1
[08:00] <soreau> zetheroo: Then you need to reinstall your drivers.. how did you install them in the first place?
[08:00] <psicobra> how do i set it to auto mount
[08:00] <lodder> psicobra: add it to fstab
[08:00] <zetheroo> soreau : gosh .. I don't recall ....
[08:00] <dulakian> psicobra: sudo nano /etc/fstab
[08:00] <go_beep_yourself> psicobra-> man fstab
[08:01] <jay-menon> Thanks DCPom... I am completely new to linux world... so sorry for any inconvenience caused by me
[08:01] <soreau> zetheroo: Well, check Sys>Admin>Hardware Drivers unless you installed them manually
[08:01] <zetheroo> soreau : this is so frustrating!!!
[08:01] <DCPom> jay-menon, it's okay i struggled with flash for awhile too
[08:01] <DCPom> jay-menon, are you using firefox 3?
[08:01] <lodder> fglrx already available in 8.10?
[08:01] <jay-menon> yes...
[08:01] <zetheroo> soreau : yes... I had to do it manually becasue Hardy is bugged over this card
[08:02] <jay-menon> DCpom, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:<IP_ADDRESS>) Gecko/2008092510 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.
[08:02] <zetheroo> soreau  : but I already tried installing the latest madwifi... and its still not working
[08:02] <soreau> zetheroo: Ok, where do you have the source located in your file system?
[08:02] <zetheroo> not sure
[08:02] <zetheroo> soreau: not sure
[08:02] <crdlb> lodder: nope, but #ubuntu+1 would be the place for questions about intrepid
[08:03] <soreau> zetheroo: Look at the topic in #madwifi
[08:03] <zetheroo> soreau: yeah I am there ... nobody is answering
[08:04] <psicobra> i typed this in fstab /dev/sdc1	/home/andrew/media	ext3
[08:05] <psicobra> that right?
[08:05] <psicobra> http://pastebin.com/m72f5a204
[08:05] <psicobra> looks like that
[08:06] <jim_p> psicobra: you miss options there
[08:08] <tony_> anyone here know iptables?
[08:08] <psicobra> jim?
[08:08] <Willwork4foo> hullo all... does anyone here have much experience working with Vinagre in Ubuntu?
[08:09] <Willwork4foo> I'm trying to get desktop sharing working with Vinagre onto an OSX computer
[08:09] <Frogzoo_> !anyone | tony_
[08:09] <Willwork4foo> Everything looks right, but I'm still getting a "Connection Failed" message from the mac when clicking on "Share screen..."
[08:10] <C4-LmmX> !rules
[08:10] <Willwork4foo> I've followed this guide: http://www.zaphu.com/2008/04/29/ubuntu-guide-configure-vinagre-to-share-the-screen-with-mac-os-x/ and I've triple-checked that every step has been done correctly...

[08:11] <r2s1> in xorg.conf.. how can I configure the refresh rate of monitor.... currently I have to use KRandRTray to fix this... from 65Hz to 60Hz
[08:11] <Willwork4foo> r2s1: vertrefresh is the parameter
[08:12] <r2s1> hmm ok
[08:13] <r2s1> Willwork4foo: current VertRefrest is 50-120... how do I fix ??
[08:13] <Willwork4foo> r2s1: erm.... change it to what you want?
[08:13] <r2s1> ok
[08:14] <Willwork4foo> so... anyone got any experience at all with sharing desktop via vinagre over to an OSX computer?
[08:16] <jim_p> has anyone ever used launcy or gnome-do? are they worth it?
[08:16] <Willwork4foo> gnome-do is quite groovy
[08:16] <Willwork4foo> I use it
[08:18] <jim_p> Willwork4foo: how does it work basically? like an application launcher that pops up throu a keyboard shortbut?
[08:20] <psicobra> hi i think my hard drive auto mounted ok after i edited my fstab but when i try and copy stuff to it it tells me i don't have permission

[08:20] <binMonkey> hey, guys.
[08:20] <Willwork4foo> jim_p:  that's pretty much it
[08:20] <Ademan> anyone here have a lenovo ideapad s10?  I wanna know how the keyboard is... I had the opportunity to check out a recent lenovo of a similar shape/design and i thought the keyboard felt mushy, although the keys were large enough... The mushiness could have been because it was a floor model and had suffered through some abuse... so I'd like to hear some first hand stuff
[08:20] <jim_p> Willwork4foo: is it 1 keyboard shortcut or more?
[08:21] <solrize> what is gnome-keyring-d and why is it using 14% of a cpu on my laptop?
[08:21] <binMonkey> if i'm using one of the f2, f3, etc consoles how do i copy and paste?
[08:21] <solrize> it's used 10+ cpu hours
[08:21] <solrize> which sounds crazy
[08:21] <Willwork4foo> jim_p: I've got mine mapped to the same as the key combination for launching spotlight on my mac
[08:21] <Willwork4foo> since they work similar
[08:21] <[[thufir]]> is 47 celsius too hot for the CPU?
[08:21] <Willwork4foo> [[thufir]]:  no
[08:22] <psicobra> depends on cpu but probably not

[08:58] <jim_p> error404notfound: you can remove the "quiet" and "splash" options from the kernel booting line and check where it stops
[08:58] <lakhra> ah, and preferably open for the public ;)
[08:59] <error404notfound> jim_p: okay...
[08:59] <jim_p> error404notfound: or you can install bootchart and lose 30 minutes for a reboot so as to have it make a chart that shows the delays
[08:59] <error404notfound> jim_p: sorry?
[09:01] <jim_p> error404notfound: bootchart is an app that records to an image all activity done during boot. you will see tha image and figure out where the huge delay is. eg http://www.bootchart.org/images/bootchart.initial.png
[09:01] <abby87> hello, i had a question , when one upgrades from 7.10 to hardy does ubuntu automatically update menu.lst?
[09:01] <jim_p> abby87: yes
[09:02] <jim_p> abby87: because a new kernel is added
[09:02] <abby87> jim_p: i am triaging this bug http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770449 here
[09:02] <abby87> jim_p: sorry wrong link wait
[09:02] <abby87> jim_p: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/206557
[09:03] <abby87> jim_p: could it be a case where the distro is upgraded but it shows the wrong version in menu.lst?
[09:03] <jim_p> abby87: can you add it on your own?
[09:04] <jim_p> abby87: what kernels appear there?
[09:04] <abby87> jim_p: well its not my case but the user who has reported that bug
[09:04] <jim_p> lol
[09:04] <usicow> how do I change the timezone of my server if my timezone isnt listed in /usr/share/zoneinfo (Im in Denmark)
[09:05] <abby87> jim_p: my question was that whether this can be a bug or something ...say that the menu does not show the right version
[09:05] <bullgard4> Totem Movie Player 2.22.1 does not play a video which I have downloaded from youtube. I can see the outset frame. The status bar reports: "Playing 0:00/3:35" but it actually is not playing. How to troubleshoot?
[09:05] <ubuntu_todd> where is the folder for downloaded files after i use wget something?
[09:06] <jim_p> abby87: what does it show? if it says 2.6.24-.... you are fine with it, even if it says "Jim OS v9"
[09:06] <abby87> oohk
[09:06] <abby87> so i'll comment and ask that user :P
[09:08] <ubuntu_todd> any hints
[09:08] <alumno> ola
[09:08] <b-relaxed> ubuntu_todd, same directory where you typed wget
[09:09] <lakhra> jim_p: ok,  thanks, at least i now have semi-working dns again with dns.uni-trier.de
[09:09] <ubuntu_todd> b-relaxed: Thanks
[09:09] <lakhra> as trier is at the other end of germany from here, that is not perfect, but it will do
[09:09]  * lakhra wonders where to find local DNS servers
[09:10] <jim_p> lakhra: ok then
[09:10] <lakhra> (and this is better than any help-desk support phone line!)
[09:10] <jim_p> lakhra: i use my isps dns servers. is there any difference?
[09:10] <lakhra> jim_p: well, dunno, i dont even know what their dns is ;) never used it, dunno why
[09:11] <jmod> !youtube
[09:11] <jim_p> lakhra: i used it so as to be 100% sure that i have done every single step the isp support may ask me to
[09:12] <jim_p> bullgard4: there is a library that allows playing flv files. i dont remember the name. it is installed with mplayer though
[09:13] <jmod> sudo apt-get install mplayer maybe?
[09:14] <jim_p> jmod: yes

[09:18] <bobbbbbb> hello?
[09:19] <slowlearner> hi is there anyway i can mirror the apt-sources to a hdd?
[09:19] <jim_p> !apt-mirror
[09:20] <jim_p> slowlearner: apt-mirror
[09:20] <lakhra> jim_p: interestingly, though, this other dns server seems to block some sites
[09:21] <jim_p> :(
[09:21] <slowlearner> jim_p apt-mirror wont work.. because then the sources should still then be on a network to work
[09:22] <bullgard4> jim_p: Do you imply that Totem Movie Player 2.22.1 is not able to play a .flv file?
[09:22] <ech0dish> try sudo apt-get install *
[09:22] <jim_p> bullgard4: i dont use totem
[09:23] <sentiece> is there any way to burn a cd while using the live cd???
[09:23] <ech0dish> or better yet do, sudo apt-get remove *
[09:23] <sentiece> i downloaded a cd while not thinking about that conundrum
[09:24] <sentiece> i know it prevents eject
[09:24] <ech0dish> you'll need another cd-rw
[09:24] <ech0dish> external usb if on a lappy
[09:24] <sentiece> cant i move it to swap or something
[09:24] <ech0dish> if you have a usb jump drive just stick it on their
[09:24] <jim_p> ech0dish: can you boot the live cd to ram?
[09:24] <ech0dish> or perhaps send it over your local network to another machine
[09:25] <sentiece> my 64 bit mothboard died so i cant boot my 64 bit os
[09:25] <sentiece> cant i move the live os to swap or something?
[09:25] <ech0dish> upload it to megaupload perhaps, no you can't put it in the swap
[09:27] <ech0dish> perhaps you can use a partition tool and make a storage partiton and put it on there
[09:27] <ech0dish> the music cd that is
[09:27] <sentiece> no its a ubuntu cd
[09:27] <AlmightyT> Can someone help me fix my video settings in terminal? with the nvidia X driver ubuntu 8.0.4

[09:28] <sentiece> no way i can just stop everything umount my root partition and run the cdburn cause the cd is not on the live cd, it is on the harddrive
[09:29] <AlmightyT> pls PM me if you can help edit conf file properly for 1900x1200 usinga nvidia card, x driver not working right

[09:29] <brunner> would anyone here be willing to call me on skype so that I can test something?
[09:30] <brunner> you don't have to speak
[09:30] <ech0dish> whats your phone number
[09:30] <ikonia> brunner: there is a test call on skype
[09:30] <brunner> ikonia: that won't do what I need
[09:30] <olskolirc> im a few days new to the gimp.  I clicked paintbrush and I don't see where i can pick my size brush.  Also, where did all of those panels go that came on first run of the gimp program?
[09:30] <ikonia> brunner: what do you need
[09:30] <brunner> I just need it to ring
[09:30] <brunner> I can't get echo123 to call me
[09:30] <ikonia> brunner: the test call rings
[09:30] <jointman> Hello. I just installed Hardy Heron 8.04. I originally had Xubutu Feisty 7.04 and Windows XP. When I installed Xubuntu Hardy Heron I chose the option "guided partitition" and let it do it's thing. It seems that my Windows partition was deleted in the process. What happened here?
[09:30] <brunner> I need my end to ring
[09:30] <ikonia> brunner: teh test call rings your end
[09:31] <brunner> ikonia: how?
[09:31] <ikonia> brunner: use the test call, it will ring and then speak to you
[09:31] <brunner> ech0dish: chris.brunner
[09:31] <brunner> ikonia: I'm starting to get frustrated.  I need it to call *me*.
[09:31] <sentiece> i dont see the cd in my mtab
[09:31] <ech0dish> he wants to test a custom ringtone ikonia
[09:31] <Werdna> brunner: you use skype?
[09:32] <ikonia> ech0dish then this is not the channel for that
[09:32] <trilobit`> jointman: You might have chosen the option to use entire disk for your installation.
[09:32] <ech0dish> i have to install one second brunner
[09:32] <brunner> Werdna: why would I ask for someone to call me on skype if I wasn't a skype user?  how would I even get the call?
[09:32] <MrColor> server irc.onlinebg.biz
[09:32] <sentiece> how can i forcibly unmount the livecd
[09:32] <Werdna> I didn't know that you werent' a skype user :)
[09:32] <ikonia> sentiece what do you mean, mouont it
[09:32] <brunner> ech0dish: you don't need to go to all that trouble.  surely there is someone who would be willing to punch in my username and hit call.
[09:32] <sentiece> unmount it
[09:32] <brunner> who already has it installed
[09:33] <jointman> trilobit: I know I chose Guided Partition. Perhaps it has something to do with my GRUB program?
[09:33] <sentiece> so i can burn a cd bit the drive
[09:33] <ikonia> sentiece are you using the livecd ?
[09:33] <ech0dish> well i could use my nokia n800 but i dont' feel like turning it on
[09:33] <sentiece> yes
[09:33] <ikonia> sentiece then it's in use, so you can't unmount it
[09:33] <sentiece> but i wont load anything off it while it is unmounted
[09:33] <sentiece> i really dont care if it crashes after
[09:33] <ikonia> sentiece it's in use you can't unmount it
[09:33] <sentiece> it not in use if i dont load anything off it
[09:33] <brunner> ikonia: it's not for a ring tone test.
[09:33] <ikonia> sentiece it is
[09:34] <ikonia> brunner: what do you want to test
[09:34] <carrera> Greetings!
[09:34] <brunner> I just want to know how long skype will ring before it gets counted as a missed call.
[09:34] <brunner> if voicemail is not setup
[09:34] <ikonia> brunner: this isn't really the best palce to canvaas for testers
[09:34] <illusion> test
[09:35] <dontchoke> You have new mail in /var/mail/root
[09:35] <trilobit`> jointman: wait, you said you can't see the windows partition at all. Normally grub doesn't have much to do with it, unless the entry for the windows system is deleted. So do you miss the partition or just the entry in grub ?
[09:35] <dontchoke> how do i get rid of that?
[09:35] <ikonia> dontchoke read the mail as root, or remove the contents of /var/mail/root
[09:35] <brunner> ikonia: I really did think that *surely* there'd be someone here who would be willing to type my username and click a button... I had no idea it was such a huge demand that would require begging.
[09:35] <sentiece> comeone someone has to know of a way to forcibly unmount it
[09:35] <carrera> i've set up a 255 MB RAID1 on 3, 500 GB drives and RAID0 on the rest of 499.5 GB but can't mount /boot
[09:35] <ikonia> brunner you've asked 4 times - there is not
[09:35] <ikonia> sentiece you can't - it's in use
[09:35] <ech0dish> few times
[09:35] <brunner> ikonia: yeah, I get it
[09:35] <jointman> trilobit`: both, i can't find my windows media folder in /media either using Xubunty
[09:35] <jointman> *Xubuntu
[09:35] <brunner> ikonia: where do you suggest I ask?
[09:35] <sentiece> or remount it from a copy of the iso on the harddisk
[09:36] <ikonia> brunner don't know
[09:36] <ikonia> carrera: how are you doing raid 1 on 3 disks ?
[09:36] <ech0dish> i'm going to call
[09:36] <ech0dish> whats the name again
[09:36] <brunner> ikonia: why would one not be able to do raid 1 on 3 disks?  that's very common.
[09:36] <trilobit`> jointman: does the partition show up when you check with "fdisk -l"  ? Or with gparted, the partition utility ?
[09:36] <brunner> ech0dish: chris.brunner
[09:36] <carrera> ikonia, when it asked me for number of volumes or disks, I changed the default 2 to 3 and it accepted
[09:37] <ikonia> brunner a 3 way mirror
[09:37] <Hariharan> Hello, I've just installed Ubuntu on my Acer Aspire 4715z and most ov the hardware is working, sound is workin (but very low maxvolume) but mic is not working (it worked before,  with xp) Is there anyone that can help me or point me in the right direction?
[09:37] <brunner> ikonia: right
[09:37] <carrera> ikonia, I think I tried with 2 as well, to no avai
[09:37] <brunner> ikonia: it's great for read performance.
[09:37] <ikonia> brunner thats not very common, 2 mirrors and spares is the more common raid 1 configuration
[09:37] <sash__unreg> hello
[09:37] <brunner> ikonia: well, I'm doing it on a database server
[09:37] <ikonia> carrera: I was just curious to what your setup was
[09:37] <ikonia> brunner: "great"
[09:38] <ikonia> carrera: so what happens when you try to boot ?
[09:38] <sash__unreg> I have /dev/sda [ /dev/sda1, /dev/sda5, /dev/sda6, /dev/sda7 ] WHat n in  (hd0,n) would /dev/sda6 correspond to?
[09:38] <carrera> ikonia, still says there's no / partition
[09:38] <ech0dish> user busy
[09:38] <ikonia> carrera can you pastebin your menu.lst please.
[09:38] <jointman> trilobit`: nothing happened when i typed at terminal
[09:38] <carrera> ikonia, that is I can't even finish the disk partitioning step
[09:38] <xjohnthomasx> hi all -- ubuntu intrepid keeps losing my internet connection. it's completely unpredictable, and i need help figuring out what it could be! my signal and router are fine, because i can connect with other computers. i can also connect to it with the 8.10 computer immediately upon restart or starting up a session.. however, after a while, it just cuts out, and then won't reconnect, even though the card is still responding to the netwo
[09:38] <xjohnthomasx> rkmanager and the iwlist commands -- and it shows the various available wireless nets.. just tries to connect, gets the good signals, and then in the end doesn't connect!!! what is going on??? i have tried finding bugs, and there seem to be some similar, but none exactly the same... i need to hear some feedback from some experts in here :)
[09:39] <sentiece> how can i remap the live cd to use a iso instead of the cd while it is running?
[09:39] <ikonia> xjohnthomasx: join #ubuntu+1 and try to make your posts shorter
[09:39] <ikonia> sentiece: you can't
[09:39] <ikonia> carrera: so you've not actually managed to install yet ?
[09:39] <carrera> right
[09:39] <trilobit`> jointman: try this:  sudo fdisk -l  (will ask your own password)
[09:40] <jointman> trilobit`: how do i use the automount command in terminal? i forgot but it automatically reads mounted partitions
[09:40] <ikonia> carrera: I wonder if the installer is trying to use fakefaid rather than software raid.
[09:40] <dontchoke> are emails sent by deafult for crons?
[09:40] <ikonia> dontchoke: yes
[09:40] <carrera> ikonia, i don't think so. I've disabled RAID in my MB bios
[09:40] <trilobit`> jointman: I don't know that actually. Hehe.
[09:40] <dontchoke> ikonia how do i disable?
[09:40] <ikonia> carrera: ok, so that seems right
[09:41] <carrera> ikonia, and the installer shows the 3 drives
[09:41] <ikonia> dontchoke: alter the scripts
[09:41] <dontchoke> ikonia is there a config file somewhere to tell it not to send emails?
[09:41] <ikonia> carrera: so talk me through your disk layout in the installer, how many meta devices ?
[09:41] <ikonia> dontchoke: the mails are normally sent frmo the scripts
[09:41] <dontchoke> ikonia i dont have any mails sent
[09:41] <carrera> ikonia, what are meta devices?
[09:41] <WIGGMPk> Hi, im using Hardy Heron and I ran updates today and this is happening... http://pastebin.com/d4289be20 I ran into this problem before and I forgot how this was resolved.. Any help is appreciated.

[09:42] <carrera> ikonia, well, it still shows 3 x 500 GB drives but I now have partitions under each
[09:42] <trilobit`> jointman: so that's all it shows?
[09:42] <jointman> yes
[09:42] <jmod> you don't makeany sense
[09:42] <xjohnthomasx> paul68, thanks i go tthe msg already : P
[09:42] <trilobit`> jointman: sadly you have erased your windows partition.
[09:43] <trilobit`> jointman: you have chosen Guided Partition - Use entire disk
[09:43] <ikonia> carrera: ok - so you have partitions, but you then need to create the meta devices as you don't write data to the raw partitions
[09:43] <jmod> but you backed up right
[09:43] <lakhra> ok, thanks for your help, goodbye !:)
[09:43] <thomasite> Hello, everyone. Is anyone here using R (the statistics software)?
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> thomasite: not heard of it, sorry
[09:44] <paul68> !everyone |thomasite
[09:44] <carrera> ikonia, right. do I create meta devices with Manage softwareRAID?
[09:44] <ikonia> carrera I can't quite picture the installer from memory so I don't know the options
[09:45] <thomasite> Okay. Thanks, anyway. :)
[09:45] <carrera> ikonia, thanks.  I can't find an option where I can do that
[09:46] <ikonia> carrera: tell me what you see on screen

[09:47] <ikonia> carrera ok

[09:48] <WIGGMPk> Can anyone help me with this http://pastebin.com/d4289be20 im using Hardy Heron amd64 build, and im also using gfxboot grub. I ran into this problem before and dont remember how it was fixed. Please help
[09:48] <ikonia> carrera there is an application in "application" on the menu
[09:48] <carrera> ikonia, oh, i'm using the alternate CD
[09:48] <ikonia> carrera ahh of course you are

[09:49] <ikonia> carrera no, your right to use the alternative cd, shout when your back and I'll talk you through it
[09:49] <Groozer> Hi all, i'm trying to run a desktop entry from the session manager (to launch at startup), but just putting the path+filename of the entry doesn't work,
[09:49] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: I've just installed Ubuntu on my Acer Aspire 4715z and most ov the hardware is working, sound is workin (but very low maxvolume) but mic is not working (it worked before,  with xp)
[09:49] <Groozer> I can put the path to the app itself, but then the tray icon is missing.
[09:49] <carrera> ikonia, thands dude... you're awesome
[09:49] <Groozer> Any ideas?
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: ubuntu isnt xp, the fact it works in xp is completely moot
[09:50] <MrPris1> hello
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: is it an inbuilt mic?
[09:50] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: Yes, but it removes the hardwareissues out of scope
[09:50] <trilobit`> WIGGMPk: have you tried issuing:  sudo apt-get -f install
[09:51] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: Yes, it's an builtin mic, but I've tried with an external mic aswell
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: is the mic input muted?
[09:52] <WIGGMPk> trilobit`: not yet, should i go thru each package or can i pass the force with "sudo apt-get upgrade"?
[09:52] <trilobit`> WIGGMPk: just type "sudo apt-get -f install" first and nothing else
[09:53] <trilobit`> WIGGMPk: it seems you have some packages unconfigured and that can fix it.
[09:53] <WIGGMPk> trilobit`: same outcome
[09:53] <jointman> trilobit`: how can i reinstall my Windows?
[09:54] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: I don't think so, I've doubbleclicked the speakericon i top right and changed device to "Capture: Monitor Source of ALSA PCM on front:0" and it is marked on full volume and not muted
[09:54] <trilobit`> WIGGMPk: I'd be stuck as well at that point.
[09:54] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: should I check anywhere else aswell?
[09:54] <WIGGMPk> trilobit`: well thanks for taking a look
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: let me check if theres a tweak for acers on linux
[09:54] <WIGGMPk> Can anyone help me with this http://pastebin.com/d4289be20 im using Hardy Heron amd64 build, and im also using gfxboot grub. I ran into this problem before and dont remember how it was fixed. Please help
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: sure, cant hurt
[09:54] <trilobit`> jointman: first you have to make space in your disk. You do that with gparted
[09:55] <genius> how to create separate x session to connect XDMCP inside my LAN?
[09:55] <jointman> trilobit`: do i need to delete the Xubuntu i have now?
[09:55] <trilobit`> jointman: not really. You run gparted from that xubuntu install
[09:55] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: where else can I check for audiosettings in Ubuntu?
[09:56] <trilobit`> jointman: you want to keep both systems I presume
[09:56] <scuser> hi all, does any one know which package should I install to have nss_ldap.so ?
[09:56] <angelo3>  /msg ubottu etiquette
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: im not familiar with gnome, alsamixer is all i can suggest
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: make sure your Sound Capture in System-->Preferences-->Sound is set to ALSA
[09:57] <ziroday> scuser: I think libnss-ldap
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: is that set?

[09:58] <Kartagis> where can i get a post-it program with alarm and everything?
[09:59] <jointman> trilobit`: how do i partition from gparted?
[09:59] <trilobit`> WIGGMPk: what happened to have you experience that ?
[09:59] <trilobit`> jointman: it's very similar to partitionMagic
[09:59] <WIGGMPk> trilobit`: it only happens when linux-image-'uname -r' and linux-ubuntu-modules, image, etc are updated
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> jointman: if you wanna dual boot id install xp first then leave space unallocated for ubuntu, the istaller will offer to us it and your dual bootingness will be automatically handled
[09:59] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: yes, the settings are set to ALSA
[10:00] <WIGGMPk> trilobit`: its directly related to gfxboot grub but i dont remember why
[10:00] <CyberBird> how can I find out what type of processor I have, 32-bit or 64-bit?
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: if its ALSA, try OSS

[10:01] <illusion> hello? can i ask some question to u guys?
[10:01] <ikonia> illusion please do
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> ask away
[10:01] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: OSS does not work, silent when testing on the test-button and Skype can't dial at all
[10:02] <WIGGMPk> trilobit`: take a look at line 4, 5, & 6.. its running /sbin/update-grub and running into a problem

[10:02] <error404notfound> how can I permanently set my eth0 mtu to 1492 instead of setting it manually on every boot?
[10:03] <ikonia> error404notfound the old tcik is an init script
[10:03] <ikonia> trick
[10:03] <menardo> somebody got information for dtv1800h
[10:03] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: when I use ALSA it's silent in on the test-button and and Skype can dial (echo123) but I does not hear my self when the service echoes back
[10:03] <Frogzoo> error404notfound: system mtu 1492
[10:03] <error404notfound> ikonia: ahan.. got it :D
[10:03] <illusion> any try icon dont place on my taskbar...
[10:03] <WIGGMPk> trilobit`: can you pastebin your contents of /sbin/update-grub for me?
[10:03] <illusion> tray..
[10:03] <Frogzoo> error404notfound: oops no guess again...
[10:03] <illusion> somebody help me out of it !! T_T
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: is skype set up correctly for your audio setup?
[10:04] <Frogzoo> error404notfound: set "mtu 1492" in /etc/network/interfaces
[10:04] <olskolirc> im trying to download but im getting this error what should i do?:   I've used kernel 2.6.24-21 (and -18 and -19) with similar results.
[10:06] <SteveHill> Same hardware works fine in Vista.
[10:06] <trilobit`> WIGGMPk: I wouldn't want to update grub right now. The machine I have ubuntu installed is functioning as a file server...
[10:06] <chris4585> SteveHill, full screen works perfect for me
[10:07] <WIGGMPk> trilobit`: i just need a file to reference my update-grub to
[10:07] <SteveHill> It used to work, chris, but I don't remember when it stopped working.
[10:07] <trilobit`> WIGGMPk: hold on I did it.
[10:08] <SteveHill> Chris, are you using FS video on a desktop or laptop?
[10:08] <trilobit`> WIGGMPk: http://pastebin.com/m64258253
[10:09] <sanguisdex> so I installed kde just to see what it was like an now on my shut down menu for gnome there are no options for shutting down or restarting.  how do I restore  this?
[10:09] <WIGGMPk> trilobit`: no, dont acctually run update-grub... do this.. "gedit /sbin/update-grub"
[10:09] <WIGGMPk> trilobit`: then copy and paste the contents of the file
[10:10] <WIGGMPk> trilobit`: using pastebin of course
[10:10] <trilobit`> WIGGMPk: http://pastebin.com/m132cfa7e
[10:11] <WIGGMPk> trilobit`: thanks mate, i appreciate it
[10:11] <trilobit`> WIGGMPk: no mention
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> WIGGMPk: could install pastebinit ;)
[10:12] <WIGGMPk> ActionParsnip: eh? whats pasteinit?

[10:13] <crisp1> I am trying to do a net-install from usbstick using the mini.iso image. I have followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/boot-usb-files.html 'the flexible way' and added the mini.iso to the directory root. This to my understanding should result in a boot to install (i get to the install screen fine) and continue to install as if i had the mini.iso burned to a cd (this doesnt happen, the system searches for an ubuntu image o
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> !info pastebinit
[10:14] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip:  do you have any other tips or ideas for how to get the mic working?
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> WIGGMPk: eg $ pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: did you read the link i gave?
[10:14] <WIGGMPk> ActionParsnip: ill have to check that out.. thanks
[10:14] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: yes, I'm reading it now
[10:15] <olskolirc> im trying to 'make' and im getting an error make stop.  how do I do the prefix/user thing?
[10:15] <chillman> hey guys! i just activated my restricted drivers so that ubuntu supports my graka, but after i have restarted my computer the status says "not in use" and the activation-box is not clicked ... whats that??
[10:15] <chillman> sorry, after the restart the activation-box is clicked, but the status is "not in use"... and i can't imagine why he doesnt apply the restricted drivers after the restart
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> WIGGMPk: or cat /proc/cpuinfo | pastebinit
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> WIGGMPk: just means you can pastebin without a browser
[10:16] <linuxius> hi! how can I connect to a USB-device that is recognized but not active in vmware? (http://img262.imageshack.us/my.php?image=usbex0.jpg)
[10:16] <WIGGMPk> ActionParsnip: cool
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> linuxius: is it in device manager?
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> linuxius: looks like a winxp VM
[10:18] <linuxius> ActionParsnip: it is WinXp...
[10:18] <linuxius> ActionParsnip: will check that, second
[10:19] <linuxius> ActionParsnip: the two that are checked on the image are there (without name though... unknown device) but the 3 others arent...
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> linuxius: if you swap usb ports round does it switch in the VM (id shutdown the vm first)
[10:21] <jointman> does anyone here know the automount bash program?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> linuxius: are you using hubs? does it work if you connect direct
[10:22] <ScreaminIke> so whenever i click a FOLDER from my Places menu, it tries to launch it with vlc. wtf?
[10:22] <ScreaminIke> how do i fix that?
[10:22] <ScreaminIke> would nuking my .gnome* dirs help?
[10:22] <tony403> router question here? on ddwrt, are any ports open by default? sorry, other rooms are empty
[10:23] <Frogzoo> jointman: automountd isn't bash - fuserd maybe?
[10:23] <linuxius> ActionParsnip: ok, no hubs, directly connected to the laptop. they don't switch in the VM...
[10:24] <linuxius> ActionParsnip: the two checked devices aren't used by the laptop though... they are too new to be supported... (dvb card...)
[10:24] <tynar_> someone experienced multiboot manager?
[10:24] <corp> hello
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> tynar_: grub is a multiboot manager, or is multiboot manager a program
[10:26] <corp> i'm using intrepid, and it has ruby 1.8.7. I want to grab the source package for 1.8.6 and repackage it with my own patch. what would be the best approach for that?
[10:26] <ikonia> !ibex > go_beep_yourself
[10:26] <ikonia> oops
[10:26] <ikonia> !ibex > corp
[10:27] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: THANKS ALOT =) =)   My mic is working now
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: what was the thing that got it working?
[10:30] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: "Mic Boost" was set to zero volume
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> ahhhhh
[10:31] <ScreaminIke> ... no one?
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> ScreaminIke: wassup
[10:32] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: the recorded audio act very strange, because it has very bad quality and it seems to only  work when micboost is set to max.. >S
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> ScreaminIke: have you been trying to make a custom menu for media files?
[10:33] <ScreaminIke> whenever i click a FOLDER from my Places menu, it tries to launch it with vlc. how do i fix that? would nuking my .gnome* dirs help?
[10:33] <ScreaminIke> ... no.
[10:33] <Hariharan> * :S
[10:33] <ScreaminIke> no i have not
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: try with a proper mic, inbuilt mics are utter garbage
[10:33] <ScreaminIke> utter garbage? bad milk?
[10:33] <ScreaminIke> ;)
[10:34] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: I am doing just that, and this (external) mic is workin very well with my other computer
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> ScreaminIke: what have you changed before the behaviour happened?
[10:36] <ScreaminIke> :) upgraded to alpha, then beta, and installed ubuntustudio-desktop on top of ubuntu-desktop
[10:37] <ScreaminIke> lets say i nuke .gnome2, .gnome2private, .gnome, .gconf, and .gconfd... would that halp? what would that do?
[10:37] <cleaton> how can i use more then 4.8bg ram in ubuntu?
[10:38] <ScreaminIke> cleaton, get a second mobo/processor
[10:38] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: Ive fixed the quality now.. it must be something with the boost, because I must have the boost on max volume ( = alot of disting ), but when I allow Skype to adjust the volume the quality becomes very good and clear
[10:38] <cleaton> i got 6gb ram but ubuntu seems to only recognize 4.8
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> ScreaminIke: reset your gnome settings to defaults
[10:38] <Frogzoo> cleaton: bios issue?
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: smooth move dude, if we get any skypevolume issues, you are the man to ask
[10:38] <ScreaminIke> ActionParsnip: is that... would that nuke my mail?
[10:38] <cleaton> vista shows 6gb
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> ScreaminIke: what do you use for mail?
[10:39] <cleaton> and bios too
[10:39] <ScreaminIke> cleaton: but it's lying. it cant actually use all that.
[10:39] <Frogzoo> cleaton: you're running 64bit of course
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> cleaton: did you install 32bit linux by any chance?
[10:39] <ScreaminIke> ActionParsnip: Evolution
[10:39] <Saruji> hello room nice to be here
[10:40] <cleaton> i am running 64bit of course, otherwise i wouldn't see 4.8gb
[10:40] <Saruji> How is everybody doing?  Looks like a lot of questions are poping up
[10:40] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: Skype is only changing the volume on the "Capture"-recordingdevice, not the "Mic Boost"-device
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> ScreaminIke: if you find out what folder evolution uses and make sure its not a subfolder of those folder
[10:40] <cleaton> ScreaminIke: what did you mean that i have to get a second mobo/processor?
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> ScreaminIke: id rename instead of deleting so you have a fallback
[10:40] <ScreaminIke> ActionParsnip: is that the suggested method for fixing this? nuke everything?
[10:41] <ScreaminIke> cleaton: no consumer processor on the market can actually UTILIZE more than 4.8 gb of ram
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> ScreaminIke: its worth a test, you can always roll back
[10:41] <ScreaminIke> cleaton: so even if your os says it's there, it's NEVER going to use the extra 1.2gb
[10:41] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: now I just have to fix the weebcam and then this computer is fully compatible with Ubuntu 8.04 :)
[10:41] <cleaton> oh ok
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> ScreaminIke: do you mean a single core? please be more specific
[10:41] <Hariharan> but that's another story
[10:42] <ScreaminIke> ActionParsnip: no processor. period.
[10:42] <cleaton> i guess i have to check my specs
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> ScreaminIke: what about 64bit CPUs
[10:43] <ScreaminIke> ActionParsnip: 64bit doubled the capability of 32bit.
[10:43] <ScreaminIke> so 32 bit could only use 2.4gb
[10:43] <Saruji> Hey everybody I have a question.  I'm downloading the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and was wondering what kernel it uses
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> ScreaminIke: so it has 64bit memory address registers?
[10:43] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: do you have any hints on webcam problematics? Skype can testrun the cam, and it is started (the green led is lit) but the testscreen is all black
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: ive not seen much success with webcams
[10:44] <ScreaminIke> ActionParsnip: wait... i think i was unclear when i said that 64bit doubled the capability of 32bit. i meant it HAS twice teh capability.
[10:44] <Pavillion> I used https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HP_Pavillion_dv6000_(dv6604nr) to get wifi working on that specific model of laptop except I'm using 8.04 64-bit rather than 7.10 64-bit but it did include extra tips for hardy users. My wifi still does not function, any recommendations?
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> ScreaminIke: yes allowing much more data to be accessed and giving 64bit address registers and data busses
[10:46] <ScreaminIke> ActionParsnip: but still limited. just because you can buy 2 bleeding edge ramsticks with your bleeding edge processor doesn't mean that your processor can actually address the entire memory.
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> ScreaminIke: if you have a single 64bit cpu in a server mobo you cn address 8Gb
[10:47] <ScreaminIke> ActionParsnip: i think you are mistaken.
[10:48] <Pavillion> I have also tried the 32-bit version of 8.04 with the same result, does anyone know anything about getting ndiswrapper working?
[10:48] <mrxmike> how do i check what version i got installed? :D:D
[10:48] <Kian84> hi guys! need help to install openoffice.org 3! i downloaded the tar.gz file for linux (ubuntu), extracted it, found the right deb that satisfied all dependencies and installed it. but now openoffice doesn't show up in my main menu... how can i do?
[10:48] <erUSUL> !version | mrxmike
[10:48] <mrxmike> i got (k)ubuntu on this box, with .. kde .. but i wanna move to gnome
[10:48] <mrxmike> im a bit fed up with kde atm
[10:48] <erUSUL> !pure
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> ScreaminIke: its offtopic
[10:48] <cleaton> ScreaminIke: hmm i can find no such limitation from the hardware, the only info i can get is that my motherboard can't have more then 8gb ram
[10:48] <mrxmike> thanks erUSUL
[10:49] <erUSUL> !puregnome | mrxmike
[10:49] <bazhang> mrxmike, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> !ndiswrapper | Pavillion
[10:49] <mrxmike> erUSUL: muchos gracias
[10:49] <erUSUL> mrxmike: no hay de que (es "muchas" )
[10:49] <Pavillion> ActionParsnip: does this guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HP_Pavillion_dv6000_(dv6604nr) not cover ndiswrapper setup well enough?
[10:50] <mrxmike> erUSUL: i dont speak spanish or something ::D
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> Pavillion: the bit starting from cabextract is where you wanna start
[10:51] <mrxmike> how is intrepid doin fellas?
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> mrxmike: its out on 30th
[10:52] <ScreaminIke> cleaton and ActionParsnip: if the mobo says it supports 8gb... then it may be me who is mistaken... if that's the case... then i honestly don't know, except that you may be using a 32-bit ubuntu
[10:52] <bazhang> mrxmike, #ubuntu+1 for info and discussion
[10:52] <ScreaminIke> ActionParsnip: also, nuking the dirs didn't halp
[10:52] <mrxmike> is it released
[10:52] <Pavillion> ActionParsnip: I followed that guide exactly and my wifi remains non-functional
[10:52] <mrxmike> or will it be on the 30th?
[10:52] <cleaton> this is weird...
[10:52] <bazhang> 10/30 mrxmike
[10:53] <mrxmike> ahhh well, then ill upgrade my hardy already....
[10:53] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: I have found one more strange issue with my audio..
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> Pavillion: did you add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules
[10:53] <mrxmike> im always early... ; ) .. takes down a little pressure from the server as well.. :)
[10:53] <Pavillion> ActionParsnip: yes
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: is there a thing to switch it on like a switch or FN + hotkey?
[10:53] <ScreaminIke> ActionParsnip: but uhm... right-clicking a folder and choosing "Open Folder" as the default application did. i'm so stupid.
[10:54] <mrxmike> !upgrade intrepid
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> Pavillion: are you using hardy?
[10:54] <Pavillion> ActionParsnip: yes
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> ScreaminIke: you got a result so you arent :)
[10:54] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: when I use the mute-key on my keyboard I mute my mic, not my mastervolume, and the OSD shows the volume of the mic instead of the master output..
[10:54] <Pavillion> ActionParsnip: I've tried both 32-bit and 64-bit
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> did you do the "Note for hardy users" bit?
[10:55] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: yes, its Fn+F8
[10:55] <Pavillion> ActionParsnip: if the guide was not to work for hardy, what is the point of the hardy users section?
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> Pavillion: its the next section
[10:55] <mrxmike> do i just need to add the 8.10 repos and then run dist-upgrade to upgrade from hardy to intrepid?
[10:55] <Firewing> Greetings, I have a Dell Laptop with a Intel ICH8 Chipset and after updating the kernel modules today the sound-device is broken. (no driver loaded and I can't find it in /lib/modules/<kernelversion>) Got any advice, except to compile my own kernel? ^^
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> Pavillion: as there are a few releases of ubuntu previous to hardy (?)
[10:56] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: The button itself is woking, as I am toggleing mic recording, but the map is wrong, as it should mute master output
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: you could assign a hotkey to capture it and make it mute something else
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> !keyboard | Hariharan
[10:56] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip:  do you know where to change the map for OSD/Hotkeys?
[10:56] <ScreaminIke> one more thing: my gnome-menues are PWNED. completely. there is no Games menu, and Add/Remove Applications is in the Other submenu... as are all the apps which should be in Games. is there a way to ONLY reset the menubar?
[10:56] <Pavillion> ActionParsnip: I followed the Hardy notes as well and I do not understand your last statement, will you rephrase?
[10:57] <carrera> ikonia, are u around?
[10:57] <ScreaminIke> just let it rebuild? cuz it doesn't have this error for NEW users.
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> Pavillion: which one?
[10:57] <Pavillion> ActionParsnip: "as there are a few releases of ubuntu previous to hardy (?)"
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> ScreaminIke: you can arrange it as you see fit. i dont use gnome myself but im sure there are guides
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> Pavillion: there have been previous releases of ubuntu like dapper, gutsy, breezy. Hardy is not the first release and the otehrs are still supported, so they have taken that into consideration
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> Pavillion: its like having a guide only for windows server 08 when 2003 and 2000 still exist and are massively used. They are covering all releases
[10:59] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: The keyboardshortcut is correct, "Mute" points to 0xa0 (which is Fn+F8) but the mute-mapping is wrong because I toggle mute on mic instead of mute on master
[11:00] <Pavillion> ActionParsnip: so how should i go about getting my wifi to work?
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: then change the action that occurs when its pressed
[11:00] <mrxmike> how do i upgrade hardy to intrepid?
[11:00] <Hariharan> ActionParsnip: do you know where I change that action?
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> Pavillion: run through the hardy extra bit
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> Hariharan: no idea dude
[11:00] <Pavillion> ActionParsnip: I did O_O
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> Pavillion: and then did you reboot?
[11:01] <Pavillion> ActionParsnip: yep
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> Pavillion: and still no success with scanning?
[11:01] <Pavillion> ActionParsnip: correct
[11:01] <Martiini> vlc video opens in a separate window for me ... anyone know how to fix this ??
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> Pavillion: maybe there is another guide you can check
[11:02] <ScreaminIke> martiini the NEW vlc? no. i think that's a default functionality, now.
[11:03] <Pavillion> ActionParsnip: should i try madwifi?
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> Pavillion: cant hurt to try, it can always be uninstalled
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> Pavillion: id install the restricted extras as well (if only to test)
[11:03] <Pavillion> ActionParsnip: tried those first attempt, no success
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> Pavillion: welcome to broadcom hell
[11:04] <Pavillion> ActionParsnip: lol

[11:09] <tarelerulz> I converted some movies into mpeg 4  xvid  and mp3 aac and totem can play the sound ,but it seems to mess up on the video part . Like the sound will play normal ,but the video don't movie and play .   What can I do
[11:09] <nado> i got 3 partitions. one is mounted as root, the second is ntfs and the third one is ext3. both last ones are mounted automatically as soon as i select them under media, without any entries in fstab. but while the ntfs partition is writable for me then, the ext3 partition is read only
[11:09] <nado> can anybody help?
[11:09] <GabbrieL_GNU> Alguem fala portugues aqui?

[11:11] <GabbrieL_GNU> ubottu: are you a man or a AI ?

[11:12] <ActionParsnip> GabbrieL_GNU: he's ok
[11:13] <nado> ActionParsnip: did it with that line. does not work. suddenly the folder becomes accessible for root only
[11:13] <poont> become root?
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> nado: try uid=0000 on the end
[11:14] <sele_> hi
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> nado: have a wesearch
[11:14] <nado> ActionParsnip: simply add it to the end of the line?

[11:23] <waan> How can I find out what my touchpad scroll up/down buttons are called, I'd like to bind them to volume up/down
[11:25] <firsm> waan: xev
[11:26] <waan> firsm: thanks
[11:27] <waan> firsm: Hmm the only problem now is, how to separate them from the touchpad scrolling, because they report as the same buttons
[11:28] <olskolirc> hey guys how do I dock my tools in gimp 2.4.6 please?

[11:30] <Orbixx-eee> My laptop keyboard has the pipe character on the 'Z' key, but I cannot get it to print the pipe char, how can I configure it so it does?
[11:31] <Orbixx-eee> Like, alt+z
[11:31] <Orbixx-eee> etc
[11:31] <hiptobecubic> can the -exclude flag of rsync be used to avoid entire directories? even if the files inside don't match the pattern?
[11:31] <Orbixx-eee> hiptobecubic, Yes.
[11:32] <hiptobecubic> so if i want to exclude a directory called kde and kdei    -exclude=kde*/ ?
[11:32] <hiptobecubic> s/-e/--e/
[11:32] <Orbixx-eee> you should create a file  with a list of stuff to exclude
[11:32] <Orbixx-eee> better way to do it
[11:32] <aaron> what command can I run to see what hardware my system picked up?
[11:32] <hiptobecubic> hmm
[11:33] <Orbixx-eee> hiptobecubic, I think there's an --exclude-file
[11:33] <Orbixx-eee> or something
[11:34] <hiptobecubic> Orbixx, yes i see that... ok
[11:34] <aaron> whinfo
[11:35] <Frogzoo> aaron: you can run dmesg, cat /var/log/messages or lshw
[11:35] <Orbixx-eee> hiptobecubic, you may have to see if a trailing slash is required or not, or whether it matters, I cannot remember
[11:35] <Justcameron> does anyone know which command I should use to switch users in ubuntu?
[11:35] <ikonia> Justcameron same as every other linux
[11:36] <ikonia> Justcameron what user do you want to switch user to
[11:36] <Justcameron> ikonia: Cameron
[11:36] <ikonia> Justcameron: what user are you now
[11:36] <Justcameron> royfamily
[11:36] <ikonia> Justcameron: so su - Cameron
[11:37] <ikonia> Justcameron: or sudo -c Cameron $command to execute a command as cameron
[11:38] <aaron> my vlc won't play dvd's....can someone help?
[11:38] <Justcameron> ikonia: sorry I should have been more specific, I want to switch the desktop (I think it's called an x session?) - similar to Quit -> Switch User
[11:38] <ikonia> Justcameron thre is a fast switch applet, but I don't rate it, so the correct way would be to log out and back in as that user
[11:38] <poont> Hey I am having resolution problems since resetting after the update last night. I want to set it to widescreen but the best offered is 600x480?
[11:40] <BonezAU> Hi, is there any way in Ubuntu to activate the middle mouse click button in Firefox so that I can scroll up and down the page? Every time I click the middle mouse wheel currently I get an error message saying the URL is invalid. THanks
[11:41] <ink1> Hello
[11:41] <ink1> hey, I currently am under a 64 bit rig, and have a "server" (kind of old) 32 bit computer. I am needing to put my game server on my "server", but I get errors from bash that is cannot execute the binary.. I have tried the -m32 option on g++ and ld, but to no avail
[11:41] <ink1> Desktop - Running Ubuntu Hardy Desktop 64 bit
[11:41] <ink1> Server - Running Ubuntu Hardy Server 32 bit
[11:42] <ikonia> ink1 what game is it
[11:42] <ikonia> ink1: you want to move the game from your 64bit desktop your 32bit server yes/no ?
[11:42] <ink1> ikonia: I game I am developing
[11:42] <ink1> yes
[11:43] <ikonia> ink1: are you compiling it on the 64bit host or the 32bit host ?
[11:43] <hathiwala> how to install gtk 2.10.13 in ubuntu 6.06
[11:43] <ink1> 64 bit host with the -m32 option to compile a 32 bit exe
[11:43] <chaddy> exe?
[11:43] <ink1> well w/e
[11:43] <ikonia> ink1: I'm not sure 64bit gcc wil support -m32 on ubuntu as it's not multilib
[11:43] <ink1> executable
[11:43] <ikonia> ink1: compile it ont he 32bit host
[11:44] <ikonia> ink1: also keep in mind the path differences on the libraries
[11:44] <ink1> well, the project is set up to be compiled on an IDE
[11:44] <hathiwala> is it possible to install gtk 2.10.13 in ubuntu 6.06
[11:44] <ink1> unless I have a GUI isntalled on the server...
[11:44] <ikonia> ink1: ide doesn't make a difference if the compiler is not multi-lib
[11:44] <ink1> I installed the multilib packages
[11:44] <ink1> that is how I got it to -m32
[11:44] <ikonia> ink1: do gcc -v
[11:44] <hathiwala> is it possible to install gtk 2.10.13 in ubuntu 6.06
[11:45] <ikonia> check it out
[11:45] <ikonia> hathiwala: stop asking every 5 seconds
[11:45] <ikonia> !patience | hathiwala
[11:45] <hathiwala> sorry
[11:45] <ink1> http://rafb.net/p/KdC0v176.html
[11:45] <ink1> hathiwala: should be...
[11:46] <ikonia> ink1 that doesn't look multi-lib to me
[11:46] <ikonia> ink1: do an ldd on the binary and see what it's linked against
[11:46] <ink1> ikonia: so how do I use the multilib I installed?
[11:46] <ink1> ok
[11:47] <ikonia> ink1: I don't think gcc is built multi-lib
[11:47] <ikonia> ink1: I'm pretty confident it's not
[11:47] <ink1> ldd: exited with unknown exit code (139)
[11:47] <ikonia> ink1: doesn't look like the binary built properly
[11:48] <ink1> that is on the 32 bit machine
[11:48] <ink1> sorry, did you want 64?
[11:48] <ikonia> ink1: LOOKS 64BIT
[11:48] <ikonia> RUN "FILE EXECUTABLE"
[11:48] <ikonia> oops
[11:48] <ikonia> sorry, didn't mean to hit caps
[11:48] <ikonia> ink1: run "file executable" where executable is the name of the game
[11:48] <error404notfound> how can I check how much swap I have from commandline?
[11:49] <ikonia> error404notfound: free
[11:49] <ink1> -bash: run: command not found
[11:49] <error404notfound> ikonia: free, yup :D
[11:49] <ikonia> ink1: run is not a command
[11:49] <ink1> what did you want??
[11:50] <ikonia> run the command "file" against the executable
[11:50] <ink1> ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
[11:50] <ikonia> Hmmm not what I expected
[11:51] <ikonia> the only thing I can think of then is that it's 32bit but looking in the wrong place for the 32bit libs it's linked against
[11:51] <ink1> hmmm, maybe
[11:51] <kian> how do i restart eth0 ?
[11:51] <ikonia> kian define restart
[11:51] <trigpin> need help network aplet gone =(
[11:51] <kian> well i want to renew its ip
[11:51] <ikonia> kian it will do that on it's own when the lease expires
[11:52] <ink1> ikonia: just a side note, that 32 bit version still runs under 64
[11:52] <ikonia> ink1 you said you had installed the multi-lib stuff, so thats why
[11:53] <ink1> ah
[11:53] <ikonia> ink1: but that also may expalin the problem
[11:53] <kian> i just reserved its ip and restarted the dhcp server. should it not have updated itself then?
[11:53] <ikonia> ink1: the 32bit libs on the 64bit host are not in the same place as the 64bit host
[11:53] <ink1> yea, it wouldn't compile w/o them
[11:53] <ikonia> kian: it will when the lease expires
[11:53] <ikonia> ink1: so you need to cross-compile it, or built it on a native 32bit host
[11:53] <ink1> ok
[11:53] <ink1> thanks
[11:53] <ink1> c ya
[11:54] <chaddy> kian: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[11:54] <kian> ikonia: how long does that take usually, its been 5 minutes already and i want my server to come back online lol

[12:04] <tono> i need advice \

[12:08] <aaron> can you specify which ones and where to check?
[12:08] <ikonia> !codecs > aaron

[12:12] <spidla> aaron : it seems like wrong configuration od libdvdnav .. try dpkg-reconfigure
[12:12] <trigpin> tono, you need to install driver probally
[12:12] <ikonia> aaron: read the PM ubottu sent you
[12:12] <BonezAU> chaddy, lol, it was autoscrolling that I had to enable, nothing other than that :P thanks for the assistance
[12:12] <tono> yes all ready install driver
[12:13] <ikonia> tono: what card do you have and how did you install the driver
[12:13] <spidla> aaron :actually I dont have this library and DVDs are working
[12:13] <spidla> maybe you should uninstall libdvdnav
[12:13] <tono> but still like that n no change
[12:13] <ikonia> tono: what card do you have and how did you install the driver
[12:13] <chaddy> BonezAU: sorry I didn't work out what you were after quicker, never realized you could do that on ubuntu ;)

[12:13] <ikonia> tono: and how did you install the drivers
[12:14] <tono> n i install from synapticepakage

[12:21] <Halycon> hey everyone is it possible to have multiple shortcut keys assigned to something using gnome? I want to have my remote control and my keyboard multimedia keys assigned to the same function
[12:22] <dr_willis> Halycon,  shoudl be able to do that.  Dependign onhow the remote  works
[12:23] <Halycon> dr_willis: how would I go about it? The keyboard shortcut doesnt seem to let me set more then one shortcut key
[12:23] <scuser> hi all, does anyone know how to modify simple authentication in ldap ?
[12:24] <dr_willis> Halycon,  depends omn how the remote works..  some use  that lIRC protocoll - you could set their keys to send the same keypress as the mediakey perhaps.
[12:24] <dr_willis> !lirc
[12:24] <dr_willis> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_lirc_install
[12:24] <Halycon> dr_willis: Yeah right now the remote is just set as a HID it doesn't use LIRC I wasn't able to figure out how to get it to work right
[12:25] <dr_willis> No idea on that then Halycon  theres dozens of kinds of remotes..
[12:25] <stwange__> hey, I'm having trouble installing ubuntu, it keeps bringing me to busybox after the initial menu. I've tried two different ISOs and 3 CDs burnt from 3 operating systems/two computers. I've also noticed that BIOS/GRUB is taking 10-15 seconds to load now, could this be related? Is it possible bad RAM is causing this?
[12:25] <Halycon> dr_willis: Yeah it is a ATI Remote Wonder it is supposed to work with LIRC but I have no idea how, I have been messing around with it all day trying to get stuff to work
[12:26] <dr_willis> Halycon,  the mythbuntu forums i recall having a lot of info on remotes. I only have 2 remotes.. and i dont even use them any more
[12:27] <aaron> is there a gui device manager in ubuntu?
[12:28] <wp> If i want to write "year" into a new document like ("year" >> year.txt) how do I do that?
[12:28] <vallhalla81> aaron: what device do you need to manage?
[12:28] <dr_willis> aaron,  to do what task exactly?    There is a hardware driver control tool, and some other tools..
[12:28] <wp> from the terminal of course
[12:28] <dr_willis> wp,  echo year >> year.txt
[12:28] <GaMbi_> d
[12:28] <dr_willis> wp,  you may want to read a few bash starter guides. :)
[12:28] <aaron> I want to see if my cdrom has been installed properly?
[12:29] <dr_willis> aaron,  pop in a cd.. and see if you can mount the thing manually
[12:29] <aaron> perhaps that is where the problem is with not being able to mount dvds
[12:29] <aaron> I can't
[12:29] <wp> dr_willis thank you.... I have done that... just ages since i used echo and forgot about it ;)
[12:29] <aaron> I tried with mount command
[12:29] <dr_willis> theres not a lot to 'installing' a cd/dvd..  the links in /dev/  may be incorrect and you may need touse /dev/scd0 or /dev/sd##
[12:29] <vallhalla81> aaron: in a terminal type lshw
[12:29] <vallhalla81> then pastebin it
[12:29] <dr_willis> wp,  echo is handy. :) with wildcards its even handier.. :) try 'echo *' some day for a cheap mans  'ls'
[12:30] <dasdsda> what is the full command to be identifyed? I cant change name to the one i maid last night (GaMbi_DK)
[12:30] <kian> how do I check for updates in ubuntu server 8.04?
[12:30] <dasdsda> normaly i can change name and it just asks me to do /nickserv identify password
[12:30] <vallhalla81> kian: sudo apt-get install update
[12:31] <dr_willis> err.. 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' I thought.
[12:31] <cratuki> What's a good way to test if my network is being hammered? I'm expecting it will be something like iostat, netstat.
[12:32] <stwange__> can anyone suggest why I'm getting a BusyBox terminal when I try to install ubuntu? I don't think the disk is corrupt (it's not the first attempt), I've tried it with two different hard drives and two different ISOs
[12:32] <wp> dr_willis ahhh... he he... how do I use tabulator in echo??
[12:32] <dr_willis> wp,  Huh?
[12:32] <jrib> stwange__: did you run "check the cd for defects"?
[12:32] <aaron> ok I ran lshw
[12:32] <aaron> what am I looking for?
[12:32] <dr_willis> stwange__,  try the cd's in vmware/virtualbox also :) see if they isntall properly there.
[12:32] <stwange__> jrib - I get the busybox client if I do that
[12:33] <wp> dr_willis the button with the 2 arrows pointing in oposit direction
[12:33] <underwraps_2k> stwange__: which Ubuntu and do you ever see 'Ubuntu' ?
[12:33] <hsa2> hello
[12:33] <hsa2> is there any gtk application to show special chars
[12:33] <jrib> stwange__: did you check the md5sum of the iso?
[12:33] <dr_willis> wp,  you mean the Tab Key?
[12:33] <vallhalla81> aaron: cn you paste the results in pate bin
[12:33] <ziroday> hsa2: yes, character map
[12:33] <wp> dr_willis yep
[12:33] <stwange__> dr_willis I tried that with the ISO I'm currently using, I haven't tried the CD though, one second
[12:33] <hsa2> ziroday: charactar map? is it its name?
[12:33] <stwange__> jrib - no, but again the iso worked with vmware
[12:33] <tyberion> is anyone using an external monitor here?
[12:33] <jrib> hsa2: gnome-character-map
[12:33] <aaron> pastebin?
[12:33] <ziroday> hsa2: you can find it in Applications > Accesories > Character Map
[12:33] <dr_willis> wp,  the tab charcter is control-t if i rember properly. and theres some special way you can 'echo' it to a file.. if thats what you are asking.
[12:33] <vallhalla81> !pastebin
[12:33] <Orbixx-eee> How do I get my webcam working?
[12:33] <ziroday> tyberion: what is your question?
[12:34] <stwange__> underwraps_2k 8.04 and yeah I see the ubuntu menu, and then I see a ubuntu loading screen before BusyBox comes up
[12:34] <jrib> stwange__: you need to actually check md5sums
[12:34] <dr_willis> stwange__,  could be that pc has some weird hardware thats confusing the  installer/disrto.
[12:34] <wp> dr_willis I want to echo it, yes...
[12:34] <tyberion> ziroday: is there a guide on howto set up the use of external monitors
[12:34] <ziroday> Orbixx: I presume for the eee
[12:34] <ziroday> tyberion: what graphics card?
[12:34] <hsa2> ziroday: i am using xfce actually :)
[12:34] <hsa2> i am looking for a similar app
[12:34] <tyberion> ziroday: since Im getting a dockstation this friday
[12:34] <jrib> stwange__: if that's ok, I would try the alternate cd
[12:34] <Orbixx-eee> ziroday, yes.
[12:34] <tyberion> ziroday: nvidia geforce go 7400
[12:34] <stwange__> dr_willis - the hardware is identical to the last time I installed ubuntu (7.04), apart from an extra hard drive, which I've tried removing
[12:34] <ziroday> Orbixx: one sec
[12:34] <FUNSOOFER08> HI
[12:34] <dr_willis> wp,  time to check bash guides for printing  'whitespace'  charcters I think. :) i dont recall how.  you could set the tab character ins ome variable then echo the variable.
[12:35] <stwange__> dr_willis is it possible the RAM/motherboard is dying? Grub also takes 10-15 seconds to load
[12:35] <dr_willis> stwange__,  that does sound weird.
[12:35] <ziroday> tyberion: you might want to install the package nvidia-settings it contains an easy application for configuring externel monitors
[12:35] <dasdsda> davs
[12:35] <FUNSOOFER08> Hello guys i have a problem please
[12:35] <dasdsda> 7nick GaMbi_DK
[12:35] <stwange__> wp do CTRL+V then <TAB> and try that
[12:35] <wp> jrib: hay... I did not thank you for helping med with the xclip problem monday... my computer chrashed... but now I am able to say "thank you" ;)
[12:35] <dasdsda> woops
[12:35] <ziroday> Orbixx: please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes#Webcam
[12:35] <dr_willis> stwange__,  i have an issue with a machine takintg a long time to get to GRUB also.. since i added a new hard drive.. try removeing the new HD and see if it changes things.
[12:35] <FUNSOOFER08> Anyone can help me ? :s
[12:35] <dr_willis> stwange__,  im not sure why it causes a delay on my machine. but the machine does work once i do boot up
[12:35] <ziroday> FUNSOOFER08: what is your question?
[12:36] <tyberion> ziroday: alrihgt, thanx, should an external monitor be working as soon as I plug it in, DVI output that is?
[12:36] <jrib> wp: heh, no problem.  Did it crash before or after you were able to paste the text?
[12:36] <stwange__> dr_willis I've tried removing each hard drive separately, same issue - I'll try this CD in a VM and if it works, I'll try replacing the RAM. worst case scenario I end up with a ram upgrade
[12:36] <ziroday> tyberion: if that is the only monitor then it "should" but sometimes may not
[12:36] <aaron> ok I pasted in pastebin
[12:36] <wp> jrib: in the pasting process... And I have not found a way to do it yet :(
[12:36] <ziroday> tyberion: make sure you have the nvidia drivers installed
[12:36] <jrib> aaron: you need to give the url
[12:36]  * Orbixx-eee sighs.
[12:36] <vallhalla81> aaron: whats the link please
[12:36] <FUNSOOFER08> Ziroday, thx, i have install the 177.80 drivers on my unbuntu, when i restarted xserver it worked, but when i got reboot no more driver and low resolution
[12:36] <wp> dr_willis: I found it \t horisontial tab :D
[12:36] <dr_willis> stwange__,  i had some weird machine for a friend.. it dident like ubuntu, or kubuntu cd' but it did like the xubuntu cd..
[12:36] <jrib> wp: hack a script together to do it instead of using copy and paste
[12:37] <dr_willis> stwange__,  could alsy try the alterntive installer cd.
[12:37] <aaron> http://paste.ubuntu.com/57850/
[12:37] <Orbixx-eee> Second question, my bios is EFI based and my ubuntu-eee installation seems to have prevented the EFI bios from booting. Any ideas?
[12:37] <Abracadabra> Hi
[12:37] <tyberion> ziroday: I have...
[12:37] <Orbixx-eee> thanks for the link anyway ziroday
[12:37] <wp> jrib... how Do i make it paste it into a dialog box in firefox??
[12:37] <ziroday> FUNSOOFER08: how did you install the drivers?
[12:37] <ziroday> Orbixx: no problem, have fun
[12:37] <ziroday> tyberion: you have what sorry?
[12:37] <FUNSOOFER08> with the sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux.........run
[12:37] <stwange__> dr_willis will the alternative installer require a lot more work to get gnome etc. installed?
[12:38] <dr_willis> stwange__,  not at all.
[12:38] <GaMbi_DKk> really.. now im identifyed as GaMbi_DK the nick i registered last night.. how come i cant change name to it? I can change to "GaMbi_DKk" etc.. what gives?
[12:38] <FUNSOOFER08> After reboot, no more drivers
[12:38] <dr_willis> stwange__,  its just the installer thats text based
[12:38] <ziroday> FUNSOOFER08: okay, thats not the correct way to install the drivers which is why you now have an issue with the new kernel. You need to rerun the installer for the new kernel. If you insist on using nvidia instead of prepackaged drivers you might want to use envy
[12:38] <julian> need some help. i can only play audio from one appliication at one time
[12:38] <ziroday> GaMbi_DKk: ask in #freenode
[12:38] <jrib> wp: you avoid firefox altogether. Read the source of the page or use something that shows you what POST vars are set when you click "submit".  Then use python or even just wget to submit the longer content.  Checkout --post-data in 'man wget'
[12:39] <tyberion> ziroday: nvidia drivers installed, else I wouldnt be able to use compiz... so I just have to plug in my laptop to my dockingstation, connect the ds with the monitor via DVI, and select nvidia-settings in order to change to external?
[12:39] <Abracadabra> I have installed a utility, but cannot find where it has been installed, what is the command to find it? (I tried find / filename, or grep filename, or locate filename, but I get no results). it has been installed though, as I doenloaded the filename.deb file, double-clicked on it, the package manager launched, and installed it.
[12:39] <vallhalla81> aaron: am i correct in thinking you aded this cd drive after install?/
[12:39] <ziroday> tyberion: yep, its that easy :)
[12:39] <aaron> no it was running fine before I upgraded to 8.04
[12:39] <wp> jrib: sounds advanced, but I will chek it out... thank you again
[12:40] <aaron> is there information there that saids it does not see the dvd drive?
[12:40] <tyberion> ziroday: will it automatically use 1280x800 for laptop and 1920x1200 for external?
[12:40] <aaron> I'm trying to understand the report from lshw
[12:40] <aaron> I dont' see any lines about my dvd drive
[12:40] <ziroday> tyberion: if you configure it so in the nvidia-settings then yes
[12:40] <vallhalla81> aaron: does it run any disk at all or just dvd?
[12:40] <tyberion> ziroday: alright thank you lotsa
[12:40] <aaron> it does not at all
[12:40] <aaron> does not mount anything
[12:40] <olskolirc> what is a good desktop video recorder please?
[12:40] <ziroday> tyberion: no problem, have fun
[12:41] <karooga> hi, how do i get rid of an  "incomplete startup packet" error message from postgres?
[12:41] <Spudz> I'm pretty sure I've unearthed a bug in the Ubuntu CD writer s/w.  It fails on a folder with 6000 files in it.  Where to take it?
[12:41] <vallhalla81> aaron: ok give me a moment i will get you a link
[12:41] <ziroday> olskolirc: gtk-recordmydesktop works fine and is in the repos, there is also instabul
[12:41] <aaron> thanks vallhalla81
[12:41] <hateball> Is there a way to exit fullscreen in Vinagre? :đ
[12:41] <ziroday> !bug > Spudz
[12:41] <FUNSOOFER08> ZIRODAY i downloaded 177.80 drivers on nvidia website. I pressed CTRL+ALT+F1 to go console, i stoped x server and i typed the syntax to install nvidia drivers. It built the kernel and said to me nvidia drivers are installed. I restarted the x server and drivers worked fine. After reboot no more drivers ...
[12:42] <wp> dr_willis: I found out that horizontal tab is \t, but when I write \t ino my echo command it ignores \t??
[12:42] <olskolirc> thanks ziroday
[12:42] <aaron> vallhalla81....does the report from lshw confirm that there is a problem with the kernel picking up the drive?
[12:42] <aaron> I don't know how to analyse the report.
[12:42] <jrib> wp: echo -e   to "enable interpretation of backslash escapes"
[12:43] <FloodBot3> !netsplit
[12:43] <ziroday> FUNSOOFER08: I have explained this to you, because you have installed the new kernel the old drivers don't work on it. If you install the drivers from the repo's then everything will work automatically. Otherwise you have to rerun the nvidia installer, which we _don't_ support
[12:43] <Spudz> ziroday: thx
[12:43] <ziroday> Spudz: no problem, good luck
[12:43] <ziroday> olskolirc: no problem, have fun
[12:44] <SimoneB> Hi. What's the right plugin for firefox to get java applets working?
[12:44] <jrib> SimoneB: what arch?
[12:44] <SimoneB> amd64
[12:44] <dr_willis> wp,  \t is special formating used in special cases..  its an excape character.
[12:44] <FUNSOOFER08> ZIRODAY i downloaded 177.80 drivers on nvidia website. I pressed CTRL+ALT+F1 to go console, i stoped x server and i typed the syntax to install nvidia drivers. It built the kernel and said to me nvidia drivers are installed. I restarted the x server and drivers worked fine. After reboot no more drivers ...
[12:44] <dr_willis> wp,  you could combine what jrib just said and do a  echo -e "\t\  > some sort of variable. then just echo the $VARIABLE
[12:44] <dr_willis> wp,  i belive the advanced bash scripting guide gives examples of this with whitespace and color codes
[12:44] <FUNSOOFER08> Need i to re install my 177.80 ?
[12:44] <wp> dr_willis: I found out that horizontal tab is \t, but when I write \t ino my echo command it ignores \t??
[12:44] <wp> dr_willis: ups.... I write echo -e Trækølle\t1H\t1T6\t1\tL\t1\t2\t7 >> Trækølle.txt
[12:45] <aaron> vallhalla I did not recieve your last mesage
[12:45] <SimoneB> jrib: 64 bit
[12:45] <zhaozhou> Here's an odd problem for you. I have this x268-movie, around 6gig big. Mplayer cannot seek in this file at all, and when it gets to around 1 minute, it sais 'end of movie', but it sais it's 2 hours and something minutes long. VLC on the other hand CAN seek, but after the same time it simply segfaults.
[12:45] <stwange__> wp - did you try ctrl+v and then a tab? It *might* be a putty trick I'm not sure
[12:45] <ziroday> FUNSOOFER08: yes, or uninstall the current drivers and use the prepackaged drivers (made by ubuntu developers) that make everything work automatically
[12:45] <FUNSOOFER08> Ok but i gonna have old drivers ?
[12:46] <jrib> SimoneB: sun does not provide a java plugin for 64bit.  You will need to use one of the open java plugins like gcjwebplugin
[12:46] <aaron> can someone have advice about how to learn how to analyse lshw command
[12:46] <SimoneB> jrib: and iced tea?
[12:46] <jrib> SimoneB: sure
[12:46] <SimoneB> jrib: i just removed it because it didn't work right :(
[12:46] <stwange__> dr_willis just an update, the CD works fine in a VM. I'm downloading the alternate CD now but I may go and get some more RAM seeing as it's my lunch break and I only get one chance :)
[12:46] <jrib> SimoneB: you can install 32bit firefox if you really need sun's
[12:46] <ziroday> FUNSOOFER08: yes the prepackaged drivers are slightly older, if you have to have the new ones you can use a program called envy
[12:46] <wp> stwange_: nope did not work
[12:46] <jrib> !flash64 > SimoneB
[12:46] <ziroday> !envy > FUNSOOFER08
[12:47] <FUNSOOFER08> I have no pm from ui
[12:47] <FUNSOOFER08> u
[12:47] <ziroday> !envy | FUNSOOFER08
[12:47] <FUNSOOFER08> i have it
[12:48] <ziroday> FUNSOOFER08: great, use that program to install the drivers then. Uninstall the old ones and then use this
[12:48] <FUNSOOFER08> drivers are 173.14.12 ?
[12:48] <jspp_> LAL
[12:49] <ziroday> FUNSOOFER08: they are the latest, yes
[12:49] <FUNSOOFER08> Ok, 1 month ago i downloaded these drivers on nvidia website they worked fine, and now the news dont work after one reboot .... why
[12:50] <ziroday> FUNSOOFER08: I have explained this _twice_ to you, the new kernel broke the old drivers
[12:50] <FUNSOOFER08> arent 177.80 newest than 173 .. ? :s
[12:51] <ziroday> FUNSOOFER08: how new they are doesn't matter, the new kernel always breaks the drivers, the old drivers have to be reinstalled
[12:52] <pageold> hello guys
[12:52] <ziroday> FUNSOOFER08: and the prepackaged drivers as well as the envy one's do this automatically for you
[12:52] <pageold> got question here
[12:52] <ziroday> pageold: sure, what is it?
[12:52] <FUNSOOFER08> Cant i build a other kernel for these 177.80 ?
[12:52] <pageold> just now, i've plug-in the fusb flash own by my friends
[12:52] <dr_willis> aaron,  i just do a 'dmesg | less' then look for lines that mention the cd.  use the less search feature   /CD   , and look for some lines lilke..   69.403214] sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0  [   69.403403] sd 1:0:1:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off   <------- the [sdc] tells me the cdrom is on /dev/sdc
[12:53] <pageold> in ubuntu, but clearly inside the usb flash a lot of virus
[12:53] <ziroday> FUNSOOFER08: you just need to reinstall the drivers of your graphics card for every single new kernel release. No matter how old or new the drivers are
[12:53] <pageold> how can i know my ubunt not infected by those viruses?
[12:53] <ziroday> pageold: ubuntu cannot be infected by windows viruses, they simply do not run
[12:53] <wp> I have writte the man pages on echo and it says that if i write echo -e it will accept \t as an horozential tab.... but nothing happens, because echo -e year\tyearagain just outputs as yeartyearagain... what do I have to write before it works?
[12:54] <wp> written*
[12:54] <pageold> how do we know the viruses purposely for win user not linux?
[12:54] <ubuntu_> linux is virus-proof
[12:54] <gnari> hello. does anyone know what is the source of ssh disconnections like: $ Read from remote host foo.bar: Connection timed out\nConnection to foo.bar closed.
[12:54] <dr_willis> !virus
[12:54] <kFj> hi. how can i install network manager 0.7 in ubuntu when i dont have access to the internet with the computer that needs it installed? i need support for the 802.1x over eth on it in order to get it online
[12:54] <pageold> can i say, my ubuntu free from viruses 100%?
[12:54] <dr_willis> gnari,  after a period of time with no activeity (a timeout) it hangs up.
[12:54] <ziroday> gnari: are you sshing into a server far away, or are you connected to a slow connection?
[12:54] <FUNSOOFER08> Ok sry im new in linux im a pain :s :s :s, then i need to reinstall a clean ubuntu, install envyng and install 173 drivers right ?
[12:54] <weichong78> hello, im trying to rebuild kernel for Ubuntu and UME, most of the documentation I found online are for packaging custom kernel using make-kpkg. can anybody point me to some guidance on how to rebuild Ubuntu specific kernel for specific build
[12:54] <ziroday> pageold: yes
[12:54] <pageold> ok thnx
[12:54] <pageold> love Ubuntu!
[12:55] <dr_willis> pageold,  go find a virus for linux.. the only ones ive ever seen are just 'test' cases.. that are not really viruses
[12:55] <gnari> relatively good connection
[12:55] <FUNSOOFER08> ZIRODAY Ok sry im new in linux im a pain :s :s :s, then i need to reinstall a clean ubuntu, install envyng and install 173 drivers right ?
[12:55] <ziroday> FUNSOOFER08: no. You can uninstall the current drivers you have, install envy and then have the latest drivers. You do not need to reinstall ubuntu
[12:55] <gnari> this does not happen if I have an editor open in the terminal, but does if I am on the prompt
[12:55] <ziroday> gnari: basically thats caused by you losing connection with the server
[12:56] <gnari> so I was wondering if this is a ssh config or a bash config or what?
[12:56] <FUNSOOFER08> Then why it uninstall me everytime something
[12:56] <abe3k> hi, in earlier versions of ubuntu there was a device manager with a nifty GUI , is there any one for hardy 8.04
[12:56] <gnari> ziroday, oh. so it is because of my ISP maybe?
[12:56] <dr_willis> gnari,  yes.. it is a ssh config.. and a sshd config.. I dont recall it being bash specific...
[12:56] <FUNSOOFER08> cleaning doesnt work ?
[12:56] <ubuntu_> :/
[12:56] <ziroday> gnari: one sec, lemme find you some documents
[12:57] <ziroday> FUNSOOFER08: you can reinstall ubuntu, or you can just uninstall the nvidia drivers, it is your choice
[12:57] <gnari> ziroday, come to think of it, this ossibly started when i switched ISP
[12:58] <attacker_> Hi all!
[12:58] <abe3k> is there any device manager for ubuntu 8.04 with a GUI ?
[12:58] <ziroday> gnari: basically it due to your internet connection, does this happen immediately or after long periods of use?
[12:58] <ziroday> abe3k: what do you mean by device manager?
[12:58] <sia-eXtreme> what am i losing if i install new ubuntu without deleting /home ?
[12:58] <gnari> ziroday, after long periods of nonuse
[12:58] <abe3k> ziroday: a program that shows me my computer hardware and their drivers
[12:59] <ziroday> gnari: alright, take a look at this http://madphilosopher.ca/2005/07/an-ssh-keep-alive-tip/ it a dirty hack but should work
[12:59] <dr_willis> sia-eXtreme,  customized settings in /etc/ normally. and dont for get any files in /root/
[12:59] <gnari> ziroday, thanks.
[12:59] <sia-eXtreme> dr_willis: what about my softwares
[12:59] <sia-eXtreme> ?
[13:00] <ziroday> abe3k: take a look at the program hardinfo, its in the ubuntu repo's
[13:00] <ziroday> gnari: no problem, have fun

[13:05] <blip-> ziroday: glxinfo shows http://rafb.net/p/kMBgta56.html
[13:05] <ziroday> Spudz: you can hide all join/part messages, you can ask more about that type of feature in #xchat
[13:05] <soenke> do you know when the new nvidia driver will be releases in hardy - maybe through envy?
[13:05] <dr_willis> sia-eXtreme,  what about them? software you ahve installed to the system are not saved in home.. thus they will not be 'saved'  You will need to reinstall whatever packages you had installed beforhand.. its eays to make a list of those and restore from that list.

[13:07] <Spudz> I'm looking at my sysmonitor.  (1) Why is the memory graph flatlining?  I'm doing loads of stuff?  (2) why is the cpu averaging 50+?  I'm doing nothing demanding.  I wonder how much cpu these pretty graphs take...
[13:07] <blip-> :D
[13:07] <ziroday> blip-: don't worry about it
[13:07] <ziroday> Spudz: they take a few, you may prefer top or htop
[13:07] <dr_willis> htop is nice.
[13:08] <ziroday> blip-: have you ever modified your xorg.conf?
[13:08] <blip-> ziroday: no

[13:08] <CyberBird> is there any program that can detect whether a processor is 32-bit or 64-bit?

[13:10] <Spudz> I bet it is because ubuntu isn't using my graphics card, but is trying to do it all on the cpu.  I had to download a lenovo patch for windows to fix that.  anyone know where to look to fix it for linux?
[13:10] <ziroday> blip-: no problem, just not familiar with the new drivers method, want to make sure I don't stuff something up :)

[13:12] <JulioNeto> When I try to access my MP4 it always is in "only read" How can I fix/change it?
[13:12] <Spudz> ziroday: thx, am:
[13:12] <pageold> If you are going to trade files in a Windows world, you'll need to scan those fies for viruses. You won't get infected, but you may help infect someone else. There are two ways to do this: <-- i love this statement!! love ubuntu!

[13:13] <HaguMon> Hi there everyone, I have an issue with the gnome-power-manager, can somebody help?
[13:13] <abe3k> Is there a program that shows and manages my currently shared files and folders for Ubuntu ?
[13:13] <mozjonathan> Hi, setting ht=on in menu.lst still doesn't enable HT on my pentium 4 (which has the ht flag) : do I need the server kernel ?
[13:14] <mozjonathan> HaguMon: you can try
[13:14] <ziroday> blip-: from what I can tell the new -intel drivers should have glx and all that sorted out automagically. I have a feeling your getting a false negative
[13:14] <HaguMon> http://i33.tinypic.com/11vo4li.png
[13:14] <HaguMon> in the tray icon there is t2o batteries
[13:15] <stwange__> what's the easiest way to format a drive (all partitions) if a live cd isn't working but I have a linux install?
[13:15] <HaguMon> and there's only one version of the gnome-power-manager
[13:15] <mozjonathan> did you manually add gnome-power-manager in your system > preferences > sessions ?
[13:15] <mozjonathan> stwange__: use gparted
[13:15] <HaguMon> no
[13:15] <HaguMon> It went by 'itself'
[13:15] <kFj> when will the network manager 0.7 be out in the official repos?
[13:16] <abe3k> Is there a program that shows and manages my currently shared files and folders for Ubuntu ?
[13:16] <blip-> ziroday: hmm, so would it help if i re-installed that package in synaptic ?
[13:16] <ziroday> blip-: I doubt it, but I am not stopping you :)
[13:17] <jeremiah> abe3k: How are you sharing them? Via Samba or NFS?
[13:17] <HaguMon> should I disable the gnome-power-manager manually from 'sessions'?
[13:17] <abe3k> jeremiah : samba
[13:17] <jeremiah> abe3k: If it is NFS look in /etc/exports
[13:17] <blip-> ziroday: ok i'll try that out.  but what is the tool in ubuntu that configures video card drivers ?  Is there something like xfdrake on mandriva, or aticonfig for ati cards ?
[13:18] <blip-> ziroday: or is it raw xorg.conf editing by hadn
[13:18] <abe3k> jeremiah : I ment a program to view a list of my shared files and folders.
[13:18] <blip-> *hand
[13:18] <dr_willis> blip-,  for my nvidia cards i use the nvidia-settings and nvidia-xconfig tool. :)
[13:18] <ziroday> blip-: nope, there is the screen resolution app, there is the hardware drivers app and there used to be displayconfig, but not sure where that went
[13:18] <jeremiah> abe3k: Loot at /etc/samba, see what that says.
[13:18] <dr_willis> !info samba-doc
[13:19] <dr_willis> samba-doc packagte  has whole books on configuring samba. :) Over kill.. but a good read.
[13:19] <ziroday> blip-: take a look at the program called displayconfig-gtk
[13:19] <HaguMon> the tray icon shows two batteries, there seems to be a duplicated gnome-power-manager, but there's only one version
[13:19] <abe3k> jeremiah : what should it say ?
[13:20] <chaddy> HaguMon: ps aux|grep power, then kill -9 the pid you don't want?
[13:20] <jeremiah> abe3k: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/
[13:20] <HaguMon> And when I want to control the brightness, it up/down twice when I press once
[13:20] <jeremiah> abe3k: Sorry, I don't use windows so I don't know samba well.
[13:21] <abe3k> jeremiah : I want a Program to view a list of the files and folder that are being shared
[13:21] <Tokorona> Quick question. If I want to update my packages, is it dist-upgrade or ...?
[13:21] <abe3k> jeremiah : and manage them
[13:21] <chaddy> Tokorona: upgrade
[13:21] <Tokorona> thank you
[13:21] <jeremiah> abe3k: well you may have to write that yourself. :)
[13:21] <chaddy> Tokorona: update first to get the latest list
[13:21] <abe3k> Is there a program that shows and manages my currently shared files and folders for Ubuntu ?
[13:21] <Tokorona> Did that, wasn't sure about the next step and didn't want to jump from gutsy jjuust yet.
[13:22] <jeremiah> Nautilus is a file browser and may do what you want.
[13:22] <HaguMon> chaddy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/57859/
[13:22] <HaguMon> what sould I kill?
[13:22] <Tokorona> So.. have a good uh.. morning , I guess. Thanks for helping!
[13:22] <chaddy> HaguMon: the one running under root
[13:23] <HaguMon> oh, thank you
[13:23] <HaguMon> and how can that be permanent?
[13:23] <HaguMon> perhaps it will be shown next time after reboot
[13:24] <chaddy> HaguMon: are you starting another through saved session settings?
[13:24] <HaguMon> absolutely not
[13:24] <chaddy> in that case you should be fine, HaguMon
[13:25] <HaguMon> ok, I'll reboot then and I'll check it out
[13:25] <HaguMon> I'll be back if anything comes wrong.
[13:25] <HaguMon> thank you!
[13:25] <r0ach> Guys, I installed Ubuntu again. Now, I'm trying to mount my Windows partition (precious data in there). But, I can't. It doesn't even show its existence. I checked Gparted and it says that its "Unknown type" instead of NTFS. Is there anyway to recover those files ?
[13:25] <chaddy> you're welcome
[13:25] <M-a-r-k> Is it my imagination or did packages installed from tar files used to be installed to the system?
[13:26] <chaddy> r0ach: from your backups, perhaps?
[13:26] <chaddy> r0ach: otherwise perhaps dd and grep
[13:26] <r0ach> I even tried - "mount ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk"
[13:26] <r0ach> chaddy: No backups man
[13:26] <chaddy> r0ach: lesson learnt, then
[13:26] <dr_willis> I recall some  way that i saw ntfs filesystems get shown as somthing else...  but i forget how/why. :(
[13:26] <r0ach> chaddy: Whats dd and grep ?
[13:27] <dr_willis> I woulkd try accessing the stuff from a windows install.
[13:27] <chaddy> r0ach: don't you have google there?
[13:27] <chaddy> r0ach: dr_willis's plan is well worth a try
[13:27] <r0ach> chaddy: yeah. sorry i'll google it
[13:27] <abe3k> Is there a program that shows and manages my currently shared files and folders for Ubuntu ?
[13:27] <r0ach> My Windows isn't working
[13:27] <dr_willis> encrypted ntfs? perhaps?
[13:27] <Neurologic> I've heard Ibex fixes a problem with laptops not being able to connect using Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN cards, any word on this?
[13:28] <chaddy> Neurologic: #ubuntu+1
[13:28] <dr_willis> abe3k,  theres tools that shopw the shares, and theres tools that manage samba..
[13:28] <r0ach> See I installed Ubuntu again. It didn't recogize my Windows install
[13:28] <dr_willis> abe3k,  i just manually edit my smb.conf :)  however.
[13:28] <dr_willis> !ebox
[13:28] <r0ach> WOw, its u Ubottu
[13:28] <abe3k> dr_willis : can I have the names of the tools for managing pls
[13:29] <r0ach> I read ur msg btw !
[13:29] <zzattack> ubottu: is it better than webmin?
[13:29] <r0ach> lol
[13:29] <dr_willis> abe3k,  as i said.. i manually edit my smb.conf :)  there is ebox and swat - however i feel its BEST to learn how to read what smb.conf says/does
[13:30] <abe3k> dr_willis : thanks
[13:30] <r0ach> So is there anyway to force the system to show the files in my Windows partition ?
[13:30] <dr_willis> abe3k,  the 'samba-doc' package has some books/guids that make for a good read.. and show how amazing 'samba' really is. :)
[13:30] <dr_willis> r0ach,  try mounting it manally with the ntfs-3g tool perhaps. or mount command. I would suggest mounting it read only.
[13:30] <abe3k> dr_willis : thanks I'll take a look at it :)
[13:30] <HaguMon> Hi there again... I have an issue with the brightness in my laptop. There seems to be moved twice up/down when I press the key once
[13:31] <zzattack> anyone else wanna compare webmin and ebox?
[13:31] <r0ach> if its "mount ntfs-3g blah blah" thing u talking abt, I tried it man :(
[13:31] <dr_willis> r0ach,  and what did it say?
[13:31] <dr_willis> zzattack,  from what i hear.. dont use webmin any more.. use ebox.
[13:31] <dr_willis> zzattack,  but ive not used either in ages
[13:32] <slap> can someone tell me where I can find the translation files for GDM?
[13:32] <r0ach> dr_willis: It said "mount: unknown filesystem type 'fs'"
[13:32] <zzattack> i put webmin on yesterday, i sort of like it
[13:32] <zzattack> but i hve never tried ebox
[13:32] <dr_willis> r0ach,  that sounds weird..  what was the exact command you used to  mount it?
[13:32] <dr_willis> zzattack,  yea - i liked webmin.. but since i know how to maniually edit my smb.conf now. :)  i dont need it
[13:33] <Manacim> what's webmin?
[13:33] <r0ach> dr_willis: Here it is :- "mount ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk-1 -o force"
[13:33] <AdvoWork> hi there, how can i find the name of my ubutnu pc lol?
[13:33] <Manacim> lol
[13:33] <dr_willis> zzattack,  webmin has allways been considred a security risk. be sure to set it to only allow local access. :) or other wise lock it down.
[13:33] <zzattack> Manacim: its a control panel for ubuntu servers
[13:33] <Manacim> click system > preference > about me
[13:33] <dr_willis> r0ach,  you did use a sudo with that command?
[13:33] <zzattack> dr_willis: i only enable it when i need webmin
[13:33] <Manacim> oh
[13:34] <HaguMon> I have something bubby with the brightness in my laptop. The brightness "bar" is moved twice up/down when I press the key once. Anyone has the same problem?
[13:34] <r0ach> dr_willis: Yeah man. I was root login.
[13:34] <HaguMon> buggy*
[13:34] <dr_willis> r0ach,  could try sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/MOUNTPOINT
[13:34] <unitedpotsmokers> what is a new stable version of gyachi for hardy heron?
[13:34] <r0ach> dr_willis: I
[13:34] <r0ach> dr_willis: I'll try it right now
[13:35] <HaguMon> that happened yesterday when Ubuntu updated a few packages I forgot their names
[13:35] <adac> My server is router at the same time. Does sombody know a tool where I can see which of the clients connected to the server use how much bandwdith?
[13:35] <r0ach> dr_willis: It shows the same error :(
[13:35] <dr_willis> HaguMon,  at onetime the ubuntu forums had a specal forum for laptops.  may want to check there..
[13:35] <AdvoWork> Manacim all it says is my username though?
[13:35] <HaguMon> ok thank you, I'll check it out right now
[13:35] <dr_willis> r0ach,  sounds bad.. could be the filesystem is really buggered..  I would get it scanned by a windows machine  asap.
[13:35] <Manacim> AdvoWork: what did you wanna check again?
[13:36] <AdvoWork> Manacim im sure when i built it, i gave it a name like ubuntuSOMETHING but i cant remember?
[13:36] <HaguMon> I'll be asking here again if there doesn't seem to be a solution.
[13:36] <chris-dreamshare> any suggestions on getting my sound card working in ubuntu?
[13:36] <Manacim> you mean a name for yoru computer?
[13:36] <r0ach> dr_willis: So anyway to do it under linux ? Cuz I don't have Windows right now :(
[13:36] <Manacim> like if you have a desktop it'd be <name>-desktop
[13:37] <dr_willis> r0ach,   theres varioys tools to scan/fix ntfs filesyst4ems under linux.. but it depends on how much RISK you want to take..
[13:37] <dr_willis> r0ach,  what filesystem type does 'sudo fdisk -l' say it is?
[13:37] <r0ach> dr_willis: It says HTFS/NTFS
[13:38] <zzattack> for webmin/ebox comparison, webmin seems liked a little better http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=790323
[13:38] <Manacim> AdvoWork: you know if you open terminal, your computer's name is displayed =]
[13:38] <AdvoWork> Manacim yeah the name for the comp
[13:38] <dr_willis> r0ach,  i would do some googling on that HTFS bit.. this is sort of raising a red flag with me.. as some special case/thing of ntfs..
[13:38] <linusT>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[13:38] <AdvoWork> Mana hmm terminal shows mynameinshort@myname
[13:39] <linusT>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[13:39] <Manacim> hmm
[13:39] <Manacim> it should've said something like cim-laptop
[13:39] <AdvoWork> can i rename my pcname then? i think its called myname for somereason
[13:39] <linusT> root@localhost:~# /dev/sda5             744         784      329301   82  Linux swap / Solaris
[13:39] <r0ach> dr_willis: Googling more details under progress... I'll tell u when I'm done ;)
[13:39] <Manacim> cim@cim-laptop
[13:39] <Manacim> is what mine says
[13:39] <hateball> AdvoWork: edit /etc/hostname
[13:39] <r0ach> dr_willis: Sorry. It was "HPFS/NTFS"
[13:41] <AdvoWork> hateball Manacim ive changed it to ubuntu_firstname.secondname  prefs > about me still doesnt show it?
[13:41] <linusT>  08:44:25 up 69 days,  6:28,  9 users,  load average: 1.46, 1.74, 1.36
[13:41] <Manacim> try restarting
[13:41] <Manacim> AdvoWork: try restarting
[13:41] <hateball> AdvoWork: Settings in /etc/hostname are read on boot. If you want to change it at once, type: hostname <desired name>
[13:43] <dr_willis> !hostname
[13:43] <dr_willis> be very carfull when setting your hostname. :)
[13:44] <AdvoWork> host name is set to firstname_surname
[13:44] <AdvoWork> as is /etc/hosts if that isnt the same thing
[13:44] <AdvoWork> but..
[13:44] <AdvoWork> etc/hosts shows
[13:45] <AdvoWork> <IP_ADDRESS>  firstname.surname.ubuntu  firstname
[13:45] <r0ach> When I install Windows, will it erase the whole C: partition ? (I find thats the only way)
[13:45] <AdvoWork> is that just a mass mix up?
[13:45] <AdvoWork> so etc/hosts needs to be firstname_surname too?
[13:46] <ikonia> AdvoWork /etc/hosts is for hostnames, not names
[13:46] <AdvoWork> i thought they both had to be the same
[13:46] <AdvoWork> system > admin > network > general shows host name as firstname_surname.  /etc/host shows: <IP_ADDRESS>  firstname.surname.ubuntu  firstname
[13:49] <BleSS> how to get ubuntu version? 'uname -a' doesn't shows it
[13:49] <phaidros> which package is necessarry to have sun java in firefox?
[13:49] <phaidros> icedtea sucks :)
[13:49] <[BD]Oric> sudo lsb_release -a
[13:50] <r0ach> Guys, how reliable is NTFSProgs in repairing an NTFS partition ?
[13:50] <chaddy> BleSS: if you look in /etc/apt/sources.list it will say
[13:50] <ikonia> r0ach: I don't trust any of the non-native tools
[13:50] <jim_p> phaidros: sun-java-jre (i miss a "6" somewhere)
[13:50] <phaidros> uhm, is tehre a problem with java/firefox on amd64?
[13:50] <phaidros> jim_p: I have, but about:plugins says no jave :(
[13:51] <BleSS> phaidros: I have it installed on amd64, and I have not any problem
[13:51] <jim_p> BleSS: cat /proc/version
[13:51] <drguildo> hi is there any way to do a clean install of intrepid from within hardy? i.e. without booting from cd/usb
[13:51] <r0ach> ikonia: I don't have any choices anyway. :(
[13:51] <jim_p> phaidros: there is a dpgk-reconfigure command that configures java
[13:51] <ikonia> r0ach: so why ask
[13:52] <chaddy> drguildo: update-manager -d
[13:52] <BleSS> jim_p: that doesn't show ubuntu version, rather lsb_release as pointed [BD]Oric
[13:52] <r0ach> ikonia: Sorry man. Was desperate.
[13:52] <phaidros> jim_p: thanks that seems to be the missing hint :)
[13:52] <drguildo> chaddy, i would rather do a clean install
[13:52] <pontus> moo
[13:52] <ikonia> r0ach: seems pointless to ask if you have no choice and your going to do it anyway
[13:53] <chaddy> drguildo: you want a netinstall?
[13:53] <XiXaQ> in dot-releases for LTSes, will there be included "special" updates too? I mean, do Evolution get upgraded for instance? I love Evolution, but it's too buggy, and it's annoying if I can't use the LTS versions because of it.
[13:53] <phaidros> jim_p: question is, qhich package .. java-common its not :(
[13:53] <jim_p> BleSS: there is definitely something in /etc that tells the same. your version can be also found by the running kernel
[13:53] <jim_p> !java
[13:53] <orly_owl> What drivers are available for the ATI Mobility FireGL V5200?
[13:53] <ikonia> orly_owl: ati.com - take a look
[13:54] <orly_owl> Are there any free drivers?
[13:54] <drguildo> chaddy, any way to install it without having to burn a cd or use a usb drive (which doesn't even work with my mac mini)
[13:54] <ikonia> orly_owl: yes the ones that ship with xorg
[13:54] <jim_p> phaidros: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[13:54] <ikonia> orly_owl: keep in mind not all drivers with word card/kernel combination
[13:54] <chaddy> drguildo: is your macmini not booting linux from cd at all?
[13:54] <BleSS> jim_p: it's true but I don't remember its name, it's also in debian
[13:54] <phaidros> jim_p: ack, that was it .. to much fedora last months here :)
[13:54] <orly_owl> ikonia: This is on a ThinkPad T60p
[13:55] <drguildo> chaddy, no i'd just rather not burn yet another linux installer cd if it can be avoided
[13:55] <HaguMon> Ok. I'm here again because I didn't find a solution after half an hour searching in the forums. I have something buggy with the brightness in my laptop. The brightness "bar" is moved twice up/down when I press the key once. Anyone has the same problem?
[13:55] <chaddy> drguildo: netinstall is probably your best option, then
[13:55] <ikonia> orly_owl: that doesn't meatter, I said driver/kernel versions
[13:55] <orly_owl> OK
[13:55] <jim_p> BleSS: cat /etc/debian_version  ????
[13:56] <phaidros> drguildo: there is a script for making a usb stick from install cd .. so no burning necessary ;)
[13:56] <AdvoWork> so should /etc/host <IP_ADDRESS> firstname_surname match network settings hostname firstname_surname?
[13:56] <drguildo> phaidros, i just said that booting from a usb drive doesn't work for me unfortunately
[13:56] <phaidros> drguildo: oh sry :)
[13:56] <haptiK> anyone know what umask 22 is off the top of their heads?
[13:57] <drguildo> chaddy, thanks. i think i'll try just updating :-/
[13:57] <HaguMon> Anyone can help me?
