[12:49] <david_J> _blue: If it doesn't have a nameserver in there.... Put one in..
[12:50] <RoboCop> sn0 ok. thanks!
[12:50] <RoboCop> jimcooncat thanks
[12:50] <_blue> david_J: name server <IP_ADDRESS>    (thats the right address for my router)
[12:51] <david_J> _blue: Check your ethernet card and then the router
[12:51] <_blue> david_J: should i add my isp's dns server?
[12:51] <jimcooncat> RoboCop: sure. you can chat with other users at #linode on OFTC
[12:51] <RoboCop> ok
[12:51] <_blue> is it okay to add more than one nameserver?
[12:52] <david_J> _blue: You shouldn't need to if the router is set up correctly...
[12:52] <arnath> if you let the ubuntu installer use the "default" setup for partitioner, does it put /home on a seperate partition?
[12:52] <_blue> it works fine for windows machines so  i assume its okay
[12:52] <david_J> _blue: But yeah you can add more than one..
[12:53] <thyultimate> anyone?
[12:54] <cyroul> _blue: check resolv.conf
[12:54] <fuzzy84> how do i make a mount writable_
[12:54] <fuzzy84> ?
[12:54] <cyroul> if you ve got your dns server
[12:54] <cyroul> set tup
[12:54] <jrib> fuzzy84: what filesystem+
[12:54] <jorisslob> I just tried generic printer with PCL3 as well, but that didn't work either. It looks like I have to give up printing with my HP K80 under Ubuntu
[12:54] <_blue> how do i save and exit in nano?
[12:54] <fuzzy84> ntfs-3g
[12:54] <jrib> _blue: ctrl-o ctrl-x
[12:55] <jrib> !ntfs > fuzzy84 (read the private message from ubotu)
[12:55] <danand_> _blue - see if the command dig google.com turns up anything
[12:55] <_blue> dammit i forgot to sudo :(
[12:55] <david_J> _blue: Says on the bottom.
[12:55] <danand_> _blue ctrl-o = save ctrl-x = exit
[12:56] <_blue> ty very much it works wheni add the ISP's dns server
[12:56] <jorisslob> lordleemo: I tried hplip. hp-toolbox is part of that suite. It does install my printer (it recognizes it correctly). But then fails to print anything, including the test page.
[12:57] <fuzzy84> jrib: its on a live cd, not a real install, the main pri here is that i need to backup all documents from a crashing windows...
[12:57] <jrib> fuzzy84: you can still use ntfs-config on the live cd.  What exactly do you want to do?
[12:57] <jrib> fuzzy84: just do 'gksudo nautilus' then
[12:58] <gaovi> 。
[12:59] <fuzzy84> im not sure if the drive got mounted as writable..
[12:59] <lordleemo> jorisslob: thats weird worked well for me m8 hang on ill check around for you
[12:59] <cyroul> check your fstab
[12:59] <jrib> fuzzy84: you'll know after you try
[13:00] <fuzzy84> i can delete files on the removable hdd, but it says i still have 12.6 gb left
[13:00] <jorisslob> lordleemo: If it helps, hp-info tells me device is busy
[13:01] <jrib> fuzzy84: check .Trash
[13:01] <zh> need help:i need a good firewall software
[13:01] <jorisslob> lordleemo: But the printer itself says nothing special on its display
[13:01] <jrib> !firewall | zh
[13:01] <ubotu> zh: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[13:01] <SmashCat> Hello, I want to build ffmpeg-php on my system, but it fails as the ffmpeg headers are missing (ffmpeg is installed) A search shows there is no dev package for ffmpeg for ubuntu. Anyone know if there's another repo i can use?
[13:01] <H4nta> Hi. I cannot manually do  cifs mount as user (I can as root), even though I have given user permission to user: sudo chmod u+s `which mount.cifs`. fstab is not really an option as the share is sometimes not there. i forced it using chmod 755 but mount.cifs stilll returns an error. Only sudo works and it's really confusing
[13:01] <cyroul> zh: fwbuilder very good
[13:01] <cyroul> fwbuilder will help you a lot with a nice GUI

[13:03] <Epicenter> This is a bigger question and I can't seem to find a solution. As noted in this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion/+bug/136853 ... if the system is idle or you close the lid too long, the screen goes blank and there is no way to get it back except to reset the machine.

[13:09] <bahr> how do I get this 3d cube effect, after i have installed these effect packages?
[13:09] <jorisslob> lordleemo: I saw that people also sugested removing the synaptic version of hplip 2.7.7 and going for the 2.8.2 on the website
[13:09] <jorisslob> lordleemo: I am going to try that now
[13:09] <acomaco> Hey dudes/girls.. Anyone know how to config ctrlproxy? :)
[13:09] <SmashCat> Why does Ubuntu only make the binary version of ffmpeg available, and not source? Doesn't seem to be in the spirit of open source.
[13:10] <lordleemo> jorisslob: ok m8 try dl the version from there site
[13:10] <jrib> SmashCat: 'apt-get source ffmpeg'
[13:10] <lordleemo> jorisslob:  ill keep looking further for u ok
[13:10] <jorisslob> lordleemo: I'll let you know if this fixes my problem
[13:11] <DoYouKnow> Anyone know of any projects that are similar to hotwire in that they seek to develop an object-oriented shell?
[13:11] <DoYouKnow> I found hotwire on google
[13:11] <DoYouKnow> was wondering if there is anything else I should look at
[13:11] <SmashCat> jrib: thanks
[13:11] <lordleemo> jorisslob: ok m8 i used the one from there site not synaptic and works like a charm here
[13:11] <jrib> SmashCat: that's how you get the source of every package
[13:11] <danand_> bahr - sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager should give you an entry in System -> Prefefences -> Advanced Desktop Effect Settings where you can configure the behaviour of compiz
[13:12] <zubat> Hi I have been trying to get tv out working on ubuntu with my nvidia fx5500 card but I have seen nothing on the tv, I have editied xorg.conf to run 2 X-Screens
[13:12] <SmashCat> jrib: Ok, i need it as Ubuntu don't have a dev package for ffmpeg, so it's not possible to build other things against it.
[13:12] <jorisslob> lordleemo: Hopefully it's just a version thing then...
[13:12] <void^> SmashCat: could be libavcodec-dev
[13:12] <jrib> yes
[13:13] <SmashCat> So  libavcodec-dev == ffmpeg-dev ?
[13:13] <jrib> SmashCat: what are you trying to compile?
[13:13] <SmashCat> jrib: ffmpeg-php
[13:14] <cyroul> _bahr: check this tuto, very good, it worked for me http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=572019
[13:14] <Sancho> culo1
[13:14] <jrib> SmashCat: look at the deps from the hardy package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/source/ffmpeg-php
[13:15] <asdrubal> rockbox
[13:15] <bahr> cyroul: thank you.
[13:15] <asdrubal> Sup mah bros!
[13:15] <void^> linking against ffmpeg usually means linking against libavcodec. ffmpeg is a project consisting of several parts, the ffmpeg package itself contains little more than a frontend afaik.
[13:16] <SmashCat> jrib: So hardy is another repository I need to add?
[13:16] <jrib> SmashCat: no, that will break your system.  I'm just telling you that that page lists the name of the dependencies you need
[13:17] <cyroul> bahr: this tuto is more appropriate for the cube http://www.thelinuxnewbie.com/2007/10/21/running-desktop-visual-effects-on-gutsy-gibbon-ubuntu-710/
[13:17] <SmashCat> jrib: Ok, thanks. I'm thinking it might be faster to just build php + ffmpeg etc from source...

[13:18] <Aklen> hi
[13:19] <cerberus> got a problem with aptitude, when I run an install it tells me about 200 hundred packages are marked as no longer used and wants to remove them only problem is some of these packages are critical packages, how do I stop it doing that?
[13:19] <Xsss4hell_> hi
[13:19] <SchwarzeKrause> I wanted to switch to Ubuntu, but for that I need some packages. Namely, kernel 2.6.23 and alsa 1.0.15 Is there a way to get not the current kernel 2.6.24, but the <IP_ADDRESS>?
[13:20] <jrib> cerberus: one way is to explicitly tell it to install those packages.  There may be a better way

[13:20] <Yodude> hey my sound ios still not working on this account, on the other ubuntu user accounts it is working though, what should i do ?
[13:20] <cerberus> jrib, yeah that might work, I googled around extensively (never ask for help till Ive looked) but I cant find a concise answer to it though it pops up on the forums alot
[13:20] <jrib> !compile > Xsss4hell_ (read the private message from ubotu)
[13:21] <Boglizk> My window shadows sometimes still exists after the windows are closed, the only fix is to disable 'Window decoration' and re-enable.
[13:21] <void^> SchwarzeKrause: the current ubuntu release uses kernel 2.6.22 and alsa 1.0.14
[13:21] <danand_> Yodude - type groups in a terminal - check your user is part of the audio group
[13:22] <Yodude> danand: k i'll check
[13:23] <SchwarzeKrause> void^: I meant I wanted to install the 7.10, but use some packages from 8.04
[13:23] <Xsss4hell_> I cannot install build-essential. There is a dependancy problem
[13:23] <Yodude> danand: there's no "audio" group
[13:23] <Xsss4hell_> can somebody help with that. it seems that's the problem..
[13:23] <david08> hello. i used to use gdesklets, then i stopped using linux. now i am back, and was wondering was program was the best nowadays for eye candy
[13:23] <david08> any ideas?
[13:24] <cyroul> Xsss4ell: use aptitude install build-essential
[13:24] <jrib> Xsss4hell_: pastebin the error you get
[13:24] <Xsss4hell_> I have kernel 2.6.24 and Ubuntu 7.10
[13:24] <Xsss4hell_> ok
[13:24] <void^> SchwarzeKrause: 2.6.23 is neither in 7.10 nor in 8.04
[13:24] <jrib> Xsss4hell_: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list too
[13:25] <Yodude> can someone help me fix the sound output on this account ?
[13:25] <danand_> Yodude - try cat /etc/group | grep audio to check if there is an audio group
[13:25] <Wibble-> Is it possible to remove window decorations from one specific window? With a hotkey would be ideal!
[13:25] <danand_> Yodude - patience - i'm a slow typist
[13:26] <Yodude> danand: np lol i'll check and post back
[13:26] <david08> what about gdesklets, is there anything better or should i install that?
[13:26] <danand_> Yodude - k :)
[13:26] <Xsss4hell_> jrib it says: build-essential: depends on: »libc6-dev« but it's not getting installed or libc-dev depends on »g++« but it's not getting installed
[13:27] <jrib> Xsss4hell_: k, pastebin that and your sources.list

[13:27] <cyroul> Xssss4hell have you tried to install this libraries first ?
[13:28] <Yodude> danand: oh yes yes i see it! after i typed "cat /etc/group" i got a line like this one "audio:x:29:mum,hamada", so how do i add myself to the group ?
[13:28] <danand_> Yodude - sudo adduser _your_user_name_ audio
[13:28] <Xsss4hell_> cyroul no. just after jrib told me to
[13:28] <david08> i installed kopete, is there a way to install the functionalities that msn plus adds to the original msn?
[13:28] <popey> david08: what features?
[13:29] <Xsss4hell_> jrib sources.list http://pastebin.ca/898593
[13:29] <david08> popey: like the colors in the name and ecc
[13:29] <danand_> Yodude - after you should be able to "cat /etc/group | grep audio" and see a line like "audio:x:29:mum,hamada,_your_user_name_"
[13:30] <jrib> Xsss4hell_: how did you get the 2.6.24 kernel?
[13:30] <Yodude> dandand: yes i do see it
[13:30] <david08> popey: now i see [c=16]....i should see the name colored in that colour instead of the cod
[13:30] <danand_> Yodude - and play sound hopefully :)
[13:30] <Yodude> dandand: i'll log out and back in and check
[13:30] <Yodude> bi';ll brb
[13:30] <danand_> Yodude - k
[13:30] <Xsss4hell_> jrib I used this script to update my kernel to 2.6.24 it worked. http://axebase.net/blog/?p=178
[13:31] <thyultimate> ok ty
[13:31] <Xsss4hell_> jrib then I installed pulseaudio etc.. and followed this tutorial until I needed to compile something: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup
[13:31] <Xsss4hell_> now I just noticed that I have a dependancy problem..
[13:31] <jorisslob> lordleemo: No, the new version didn't help
[13:32] <cyroul> anyone has tried TOR, it slows internet"down, is there anything to do
[13:32] <lordleemo> jorisslob: is it networked or local
[13:32] <Boglizk> cyroul: Duh.. its a proxy
[13:32] <Yodude> dandand: it worked !!!!! thnx a lot man you save my system from a reinstall ! hehe but i'm curious why didn't the "audioi" group appear in the GUI user administration tool ?
[13:32] <jorisslob> lordleemo: It's local, using USB
[13:32] <popey> Xsss4hell_ jrib isn't that procedure dangerous? you wont get any security updates for those kernels..
[13:32] <jrib> Xsss4hell_, popey: agreed
[13:33] <cyroul> boglizk, more or less I use privoxy for the proxy
[13:33] <Yodude> dandand_: thnx a lot
[13:33] <danand_> Yodude - :) nice one - at least your working - but that does seem strange
[13:33] <lordleemo> jorisslob: apparently some peeps have had the same problem  can you try doing this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/117825/comments/29
[13:33] <Xsss4hell_> yes^but I'll install ubuntu hardy heron on april ;) I'll have enough experience with kernels and dependancy problem until then  :D
[13:33] <Yodude> dandand_: yes i know, and  i'm curious why didn't the "audioi" group appear in the GUI user administration tool ?
[13:34] <popey> Xsss4hell_: there is a kernel vulnerability right now though.. you'd leave yourself vulnerable for 2 months
[13:34] <Yodude> dandand: i was tempering with the /usr/bin permissions maybe i slipped an did something wrong
[13:35] <Xsss4hell_> I have 2.6.24-7
[13:35] <danand_> Yodude - wierd - the audio group doesn't appear in my GUI tool either
[13:35] <Yodude> dandand_: and a lot of other groups too
[13:35] <danand_> Yodude - perhaps a reason to stick with CLI for some things :)
[13:35] <Xsss4hell_> And I still can update to the next kernel when I want to, right?
[13:36] <Yodude> dandand_: yeah totally
[13:36] <jrib> Yodude, danand_: properties -> user privileges -> use audio/sound
[13:36] <Yodude> dandand: good ol' UNIX terminals never die
[13:36] <Xsss4hell_> jrib what's your expert opinion about my dependancy problem?
[13:37] <jrib> Xsss4hell_: what files do you have in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ?
[13:37] <Yodude> jrib: oh yeah you're right
[13:37] <danand_> jrib - Ahh! Got it - still prefer CLI though
[13:37] <Yodude> jrib: but they have been put into the groups section, a lot more intuitive i think
[13:37] <Yodude> anyway i'm rocking on with music now hehe
[13:37] <danand_> Yodude - :)
[13:37] <jorisslob> lordleemo: Ok, I will try with a complete restart and cupsys restart
[13:38] <Yodude> dandand_: again thnx a bunch, i knew a fix was available and that i didn't need to reinstall lol -- then it wouldn't be linux would it ?
[13:38] <Xsss4hell_> jrib /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[13:38] <lordleemo> jorisslob: ok m8 apparently its worked well for a few others do it as stated there m8
[13:39] <jrib> Xsss4hell_: run 'sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy build-essential g++ libc6-dev' and pastebin the output
[13:39] <danand_> Yodude - not really - theres always an alternative to reinstall. glad i could help.

[13:48] <jrib> Xsss4hell_: can you run it as 'LANGUAGE=en_US sudo apt-get install g++' ?
[13:48] <SmashCat> Forgot how slow my server is when it has to build from source ;-)
[13:48] <jorisslob> I will give it one more go... uninstall printer, unplug printer, reboot, restart cupsys, replug printer, install printer, try

[13:49] <Jangari> okay, what sort of media? data, video?
[13:49] <davidw> video.. it's a dvd dvd
[13:49] <jrib> Xsss4hell_: Look at what it says about your libc6 version, that's the problem
[13:50] <mohbana> hey guys is there some sort of support for 5.1+ sound cards, the sound is bad comapred to windows
[13:50] <Jangari> mm, compressing it is a good option
[13:50] <Xsss4hell_> jrib it says: libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.6.1-1ubuntu10) but 2.7-5ubuntu2 is to be installed
[13:50] <jrib> Xsss4hell_: run 'apt-cache policy libc6'
[13:50] <davidw> Jangari, yeah, since it's 6.7 gigs on disk and the dvd is only 4.7 :-)
[13:51] <Jangari> i don't know what apps run on ubuntu to compress dvd video files, but if you re-author it to remove the menus, other languages and all the sh|t you don't need, you wouldn't have to compress it too much
[13:51] <Jangari> otherwise, is your burner dual layer?

[13:51] <ajitam> hi how can I check upload dowload trafic in terminal
[13:52] <databridge> j  ubuntu-de-offtopic
[13:52] <jrib> Xsss4hell_: no, it wants the gutsy libc6 but I am guessing you have hardy's installed
[13:52] <davidw> Jangari, don't think so
[13:53] <Xsss4hell_> jrib No, I have just updated my kernel with this script http://axebase.net/blog/?p=178. LANGUAGE=en_US apt-cache policy libc6 Resulsts in-> http://pastebin.ca/index.php
[13:53] <Xsss4hell_> I still run Gutsy
[13:53] <jrib> Xsss4hell_: that's a blank pastebin
[13:53] <Xsss4hell_> ups
[13:54] <Xsss4hell_> jrib sorry : http://pastebin.ca/898618
[13:54] <Jangari> davidw: dvd95 - DVD9 to DVD5 converter
[13:55] <Jangari> dvd+rw-tools - DVD+-RW/R tools
[13:55] <jrib> Xsss4hell_: you have 2.7-5ubuntu2 installed, the hardy version.  You got it when you ran that script most likely.  If you read the script, it adds hardy repositories to your sources.list, upgrades some packages, and then removes it from your sources.list
[13:55] <Jangari> videotrans - DVD authoring utilities
[13:55] <gilster> is there anyway to get DVD-RAM support for UDF drag drop interface
[13:56] <davidw> Jangari, dvd95 looks like a good one - thanks
[13:56] <gilster> ?
[13:56] <misieq> i have scsi adapter which is (i believe, since dmesg shows (almost) no error) up and running connected with a nokia d-box1 dvb stb. in system log i can see device being identified as "Communications    DVB2000  Nokia rulez      2.14 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2" so i assume communications is working and device /dev/sg2 is created. however i do not know how can i actually see some input from nokia. any suggestions?
[13:56] <Jangari> check them out in synaptic first
[13:56] <davidw> lunch time
[13:56] <MrPink> I try to run a Java code in the terminal and what I get back is "FNF" any idea what that means?
[13:56]  * zoom is away: Occupé
[13:56] <Xsss4hell_> jrib but: lsb_release -a tells me I'm using gutsy
[13:57] <jrib> Xsss4hell_: yes, and you have a bunch of hardy packages installed
[13:57] <gilster> anyone here use DVD-RAM discs in ubuntu? how do i get proper write support to them as UDF discs?
[13:57] <Xsss4hell_> oh damn..me fool
[13:57] <abdulla> guys how to have a frame around icons in my desktop , frames that is like a box which are colored and gives it a better eye candy for my icons
[13:57] <Xsss4hell_> the only solution is to upgrade to hardy?
[13:58] <incorrect> Xsss4hell_, what is your problem?
[13:58] <jorisslob> lordleemo: Nope, no effect, still having the same problem.
[13:58] <ajitam> how can I check upload dowload trafic in terminal
[13:58] <ajitam> anybody
[13:58] <jrib> Xsss4hell_: if you want a stable system, you should probably reinstall gutsy.  You could try to finish the upgrade to hardy too if you want, but then you will be running a development version
[13:58] <wald0> why ubuntu uses FIREFOX instead of iceweasel ?
[13:58] <Jangari> wtf is iceweasel?
[13:58] <incorrect> ajitam, tcpdump
[13:58] <abdulla> firefox is greater wald0 :)
[13:59] <jorisslob> iceweasel is firefox without the logo... :) Because that is copyrighted
[13:59] <assasukasse> abdulla: who said that :D
[13:59] <Seveas> wald0, because ubuntu isn't as anal as debian about logos
[13:59] <wald0> Jangari: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IceWeasel
[13:59] <assasukasse> LOL
[13:59] <abdulla> assasukasse, its greater then opera aswell :)
[13:59] <Xsss4hell_> incorrect I can't compile gst-pulse becaue I have not build-essential, because I have kernel 2.6.24 and guty plus hardy a bunch of hardy packages, now I don't have a hardy repo in sources.list. So back to the beginning: I can't compile :(
[13:59] <wald0> Seveas: is not an anal problem, is a LEGAL problem
[13:59] <wald0> so, ubuntu is making illegal things ?
[14:00] <abdulla> firefox has addons which support greater expansion for the firefox which induces it for a greater result forexample ( Noscript addons and ADBLOCK plug , etc.... )
[14:00] <Jangari> no, they're careful not to encroach on others' copyrights
[14:00] <ajitam> incorrect: a get tcpdump: no suitable device found
[14:00] <misieq> anyone? how to stream video from scsi adapter?
[14:01] <rohan> what would be the correct package to file this bug against -- https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/190677
[14:01] <abdulla> guys any1 know how to make frames for icons to make it look eye candy i want to have frames around the icons in mydesktop
[14:01] <incorrect> ajitam, you want to see traffic, use tcpdump, dunno what get tcpdump is all about
[14:01] <lordleemo> jorisslob: try totally removing hp m8 followed by a reinstall
[14:01] <Xsss4hell_> jrib, incorrect: My aim was to update to Kernel 2.6.24 (latest stable) and have all gutsy updates, Plus Skype(without microphone bug due to pulseaudio) and Pulseaudio as default. gst-pulse should fix that..
[14:01] <Xsss4hell_> it was a road to hell...
[14:01] <incorrect> Xsss4hell_, well you can get the kernels source yourself
[14:01] <incorrect> make-kpkg blah
[14:02] <Wibble-> Is it possible to re-map keys when a window has focus? I would like Alt-Tab to be sent to my VNC window when the VNC has focus; but to be handled normally when the VNC window does not have focus (focus changed using the mouse ofc)
[14:02] <PriceChild> Xsss4hell_, don't expect us to be able to give you support if you're using custom kernels.
[14:02] <Xsss4hell_> incorrect: but the problem is, I used this script: http://axebase.net/blog/?p=178
[14:02] <assasukasse> Seveas: do u think it is fair what you have done?
[14:02] <Xsss4hell_> PriceChild: It's hardy's own kernel
[14:02] <Seveas> assasukasse, yes, trolls are not welcome here
[14:02] <knifeprty> whats up
[14:02] <PriceChild> Xsss4hell_, hardy isn't released. We don't support it here.
[14:02] <knifeprty> everyone?
[14:03] <PriceChild> !hardy | Xsss4hell_
[14:03] <ubotu> Xsss4hell_: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[14:03] <gilster> !DVD-RAM
[14:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dvd-ram - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:03] <knifeprty> i just installed windown vista hah
[14:03] <assasukasse> Seveas: personally i think that is a bit of nazist behaviour..but that's just me. I will inform the ircop about your behaviour and part the channel as long as you are op here.
[14:03] <putozao> why if a listening to amarkok and i what to view something in youtube i can't listening no youtube
[14:03] <jorisslob> lordleemo: How do you deinstall things you installed yourself from source?
[14:03] <Xsss4hell_> PriceChild, incorrect, jrib I'm absoulutely satisfied with your support: You're really a very friendly staff
[14:03] <PriceChild> assasukasse, ircops don't bother themselves with channel issues.
[14:04] <abdulla> this is the example of what i mean http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=69347&file1=69347-1.jpg&file2=&file3=&name=LinPhone+Icons
[14:04] <jorisslob> lordleemo: Oh... make uninstall seems to work :)
[14:04] <PriceChild> Xsss4hell_, read the bot... I am correct.
[14:04] <incorrect> staff? i am not employed
[14:04] <knifeprty> lol
[14:04] <abdulla> i want to have frames around the icons but i know that this are icons but i want to have a frame which ubuntu can produce but i dont know how
[14:04] <chazco> Does anyone have a script to enable Virtualbox USB support? I can do it manually but want to add it to my recover disc
[14:04] <Xsss4hell_> :D but you've a real ubuntu heart!
[14:04] <PriceChild> chazco, I think a howto on the forums was approved recently to get that done on boot. In the "howtos tricks and tips" forum
[14:05] <Xsss4hell_> thx anyway, altough there is no hope for my system
[14:05] <gilster> so no one here uses DVD-RAM discs eh/?
[14:05]  * knifeprty slaps speedcore around a bit with a large trout
[14:05] <Xsss4hell_> as you told..
[14:05] <david08> hello. how do i activate the gnome splash screen?
[14:05] <speedcore> where is the boot record stored? when doing a standard ubuntu install?
[14:05] <online_> hello
[14:05] <abdulla> zz
[14:05] <knifeprty> quad core rules
[14:05] <online_> can any one tell me why I am not able to create a symbolic link?
[14:05] <PriceChild> speedcore, /var/log i guess
[14:05] <Seveas> knifeprty, this is a support channel, stop with the offtopic chat please
[14:05] <chazco> PriceChild - will have a look, but its probably the manual method (its quite tricky to script it)
[14:06] <abdulla> guys i want to have a frame around my icons any ideas???? this is an example of what i mean but its not what i want http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=69347&file1=69347-1.jpg&file2=&file3=&name=LinPhone+Icons
[14:06] <speedcore> Pricechild: and that's the record the bios finds at boot?
[14:06] <jrib> Xsss4hell_: reinstalling gutsy is the best thing to do in my opinion.  And don't run magic scripts without reading what they do.  Feel free ask someone here about things like that before you do
[14:06] <PriceChild> speedcore, the bios?
[14:06] <knifeprty> vista rules ball of puñets % and of pure corage ia me voy %
[14:06] <Xsss4hell_> jrib thank you!
[14:07] <speedcore> I mean..  how does the computer know that there is a bootable os on the harddrive choosen in bios?
[14:07] <Xsss4hell_> I'll ask next time, before shredding my systems core ;)
[14:07] <mohbana> hi, i have auzen x-plosion i cant seem to get surround sound please help, the sound card detected is CMI8738-MC8
[14:07] <white_eagle> wow what kind of phone do you need to install Ubuntu Mobile?
[14:07] <mohbana> but there is no front,center,rear etc in the volume mixer
[14:07] <momal> How can I downgrade an update... ? For some reason I have lost all sound and by the looks of it xine/alsa/oss wont see any of my sound (onboard card nvidia ac97). It was only recent like in last 2-3 days
[14:07] <Wibble-> speedcore: the MBR  (master boot record) is stored in a specific place on a phsyical harddisk.  The MBR tells the bios where to look on which real partition to find the proper boot loader such as GRUB.  Ubuntu will, by default, replace the MBR with its own pointing at GRUB
[14:07] <PriceChild> chazco, can't find what I remembered.. but http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2082674 ?
[14:08] <chazco> PriceChild - I had to do quite a lot to enable it on mine (but not that hack...), what i'm looking for is how to automate it
[14:08] <speedcore> ok
[14:09] <chazco> In one of the boot scripts you uncomment some stuff, then you have to edit one of the udev rules to give permissions out better
[14:09] <speedcore> Wibble.. the thing is I need to restore a system..
[14:09] <chazco> But doing those require sed magic (i guess), which is quite tricky
[14:09] <Wibble-> speedcore: Look at grub and restoring the MBR
[14:10] <anto> Heya, can somone here help me get Jackd working
[14:10] <anto> i keep getting somthing about kernel resolution to slow
[14:10] <speedcore> Wibble: is it ok just do an install of ubuntu on the new disk..  and then boot from live cd.. mount that disk.. and the old disk.. erase all on the new disk.. with the information from the old disk.
[14:11] <speedcore> Wibble: I guess. if I just copy everything from the old disk.. to the new disk.. that there will be no correct MBR
[14:11] <Wibble-> speedcore: What exactly is the problem and how would you *ideally* get it solved
[14:11] <Wibble-> the MBR is not in a partition, therefore copying files will not copy it.
[14:11] <cyroul> i m looking for help regarding PnP ACPI error during the boot, can' t find anything off the internet, just bug reports Any idea
[14:12] <cerberus> complete hack, look at the packages that aptitude wants to remove, copy them into a text file, write a shell script that then runs aptitude, let it remove the packages then manually install them
[14:12] <speedcore> My harddrive is broken... I got a backup.. which I can mount..  I also got a new drive... but I figure I just can't copy everything.. because I need to get a MBR on the new disk too
[14:12] <cerberus> has to be an easier way..
[14:12] <thyultimate> i have a microsoft web cam , its not in the supported list....now what??
[14:13] <thyultimate> :(
[14:13] <Wibble-> cerberus: easier way to *do* what?
[14:13] <thyultimate> its got my micro phone too
[14:13] <cerberus> Wibble, aptitude decided that a load of packages where unrequired (marked as auto installed but no longer dependencies for anything) and wanted to remove them, some of them where critical packages
[14:13] <cyroul> thyultimate: have u plugged it yet ?*
[14:13] <Wibble-> speedcore: Ok - yes, you can just install on the new HD then copy all the files over on to that.  the MBR will be set up on the new disk and the grub files from the old disk will be copied over
[14:14] <thyultimate> yes
[14:14] <cerberus> Wibble, basically I had to let it remove them, then write a shell script to manually install them all back again
[14:14] <thyultimate> cyroul: yes
[14:14] <Wibble-> oh ok
[14:14] <Wibble-> cerberus: I guess deleting the current package state didn't solve it?
[14:14] <speedcore> wibble: THe backup is not all the partitions of the drive... just all files that resided in /
[14:14] <cyroul> thyultimate: do a lsusb what have you got
[14:15] <thyultimate> cyroul: errr...enter lsusb in terminal??
[14:15] <cerberus> Wibble, a) couldnt figure out how to do that b) Im not sure Id want to lose all the state, ideally I just want it to unmarkauto the stuff its decided I dont need
[14:15] <cyroul> yep
[14:15] <Seveas> cerberus, you can do that in synaptic
[14:15] <Wibble-> speedcore: that is fine - the files GRUB needs are in /boot.  If you just copy over them on a newly installed system and it should be fine
[14:15] <thyultimate> Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

[14:15] <LjL> !paste > thyultimate    (thyultimate, see the private message from Ubotu)
[14:15] <cyroul> it is detected
[14:16] <cerberus> the one thing I miss about slackware is the lack of package dependency resolution, I liked that you had to manually handle dependencies heh
[14:16] <speedcore> Wibble: so the mbr just gets there??  I dom't understand?
[14:16] <thyultimate> oh
[14:16] <cyroul> $
[14:16] <thyultimate> so how do i use it?
[14:16] <Wibble-> speedcore: install on the new harddisk - that will set the MBR.  Then copy the files over.
[14:16] <thyultimate> LjL sorry
[14:16] <speedcore> wibble: that
[14:16] <speedcore> 's what I thought!!
[14:16] <cyroul> what do you wanna use it for ? msn skype ???
[14:16] <speedcore> thanx
[14:16] <speedcore> Wibble: Thanx

[14:31] <Korvus> i'm trying to install and its hanging at Running Local Boot Scripts
[14:31] <magnetron> kbrooks: a simple dist upgrade will solve that.
[14:31] <cerberus> peace, the shared folders dont work with VirtualBox OSE (Open Source Edition), you need to use a network filesystem which can be read from both the host OS (ubuntu) and the virtualised OS (XP)
[14:31] <cerberus> there is a guide I found on google..one second
[14:31] <xstasi> peace: virtualbox has its own system of folder sharing, browse the options around
[14:31] <kbrooks> magnetron,  ok
[14:31] <peace> okay ill try
[14:31] <xstasi> so, i try asking again...
[14:31] <peppers> anyone?
[14:31] <Korvus> some community
[14:31] <xstasi> is there a graphic tool for managing devices / mount points like fstab?
[14:32] <erawfish> peace: what module exactly?
[14:32] <erawfish> peppers: ^^
[14:32] <peppers> wacom.ko
[14:32] <cerberus> peace, hmm, Im out of date, look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=627847
[14:33] <erawfish> peppers: copying radnom stuff from gentoo is not exactly supported
[14:33] <peppers> I didn't do that
[14:33] <peppers> I configured and compiled it on ubuntu
[14:33] <erawfish> peppers: then why copying from anywhere?
[14:33] <peppers> I copied it to /lib/modules/kernelversion/kernel/drivers/input/tablet and on reboott it hanged
[14:34] <erawfish> peppers: why did you copy it there manually?
[14:34] <xstasi> peppers: you shouldn't mess with LKMs without knowing what you're doing..
[14:34] <erawfish> and where is the source from?
[14:34] <peppers> erawfish:  I compiled it on it's own (just the wacom driver not the whole kernel) and then copied it to the correct directory
[14:34] <peppers> depmod -e didn't give out any error either
[14:34] <erawfish> where is the source from?
[14:34] <peppers> linuxwacom prject
[14:34] <JustV> Hello.. How i can fully delete programm?
[14:34] <peppers> project*
[14:34] <kbrooks> is feisty-backports relatively stable?
[14:35] <erawfish> then ask linuxwacom about their stuff. their manure, their problem
[14:35] <erawfish> JustV: purge
[14:35] <cerberus> peace, I just checked, it does work :)
[14:35] <JustV> sudo apt-get remove phpsysinfo --purge ??
[14:35] <peppers> <.< that's not my problem exactly. it's just, lods of things from my hdd just disapeared. the hole content of my home filder is gone and so is bin/sh.
[14:36] <unicum> is there a way to cycle tabs in firefox via keyboard??
[14:36] <cerberus> >peace, when you chose a shared folder in virtualbox for XP it appears in XP (the guest OS) under the shared folders
[14:36] <peace> im trying to understand 2. point in that link you gaved :)
[14:36] <Cromag> unicum: ctrl tab
[14:36] <JustV> oh.. sudo apt-get purge
[14:36] <peppers> is there anyway, I can retrieve all that?
[14:36] <cerberus> >peace, i.e. in the explorer bar type \\VBOXSVR\<name_of_shared_folder>
[14:36] <unicum> cool, thx
[14:36] <Jack_Sparrow> peppers: Are you running wine?
[14:36] <peppers> no Jack_Sparrow, well wasn't when it happened
[14:37] <JustV> erawfish: i have used purge and.. > user@coolparty:/etc/phpsysinfo$ ls -la
[14:37] <peppers> I have it installed but haven't used it in a few days, and I use only ocasionaly
[14:37] <erawfish> peppers: boot froma  live cd and look on the harddisk (possibly mount it). if it's there fine, if not bad luck
[14:37] <erawfish> !info phpsysinfo
[14:37] <ubotu> phpsysinfo (source: phpsysinfo): PHP based host information. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5.2-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 223 kB, installed size 1808 kB
[14:38] <Jack_Sparrow> peppers: No, but you have wine installed and have used it, and you had Z mapped under wine and you did not have a user with only wine access that you used under wine.. would be my guess
[14:38] <peppers> that's what I just did with gentoo erawfish(yes, gentoo and ubuntu are on the same pc). i mounted the ubuntu partition with gentoo and nothing's there :S
[14:38] <yv5civ> #bolivarlug
[14:38] <erawfish> JustV: dpkg -l phpsysinfo
[14:38] <peppers> yes Jack_Sparrow that's correct
[14:38] <ompaul> yv5civ, ?
[14:39] <Jack_Sparrow> peppers: I am not saying that is where the problem is.. but it is a security problem that most people do not understand
[14:39] <JustV> erawfish: rc  phpsysinfo                             2.5.2-0ubuntu2                         PHP based host information
[14:39] <MrPiracy> I lost all my graphic configuration after applying updates on gutsy. I was using driver i810 with no problems. Could anyone help me?
[14:39] <erawfish> JustV: you did not purge. QED
[14:39] <erawfish> MrPiracy: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[14:39] <JustV> erawfish: user@coolparty:/etc/phpsysinfo$ sudo apt-get purge phpsysinfo
[14:39] <JustV> Reading package lists...  Done
[14:40] <ompaul> JustV, please don't paste multiple lines - max two but ehh that won't work cd ~ and then to the sudo apt-get remove --purge phpsysinfo
[14:40] <peppers> stupid question, is there a remote chance that copying /usr/bin/sh from the live cd over to the ubuntu on the hdd will solve the problem?
[14:40] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   select vesa mode 1024
[14:40] <JustV> dpkg: rc  phpsysinfo                             2.5.2-0ubuntu2                         PHP based host information
[14:40] <erawfish> kbrooks: but it won't
[14:41] <MrPiracy> erawfish: did that, didn't work. It will make me keep using VESA and if i try to set it back to i810 or even intel driver, everthing goes back to VESA
[14:41] <JustV> ompaul: thks
[14:41] <kbrooks> erawfish, because the dir is not empty, obviously
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> peppers: At this point it cant hurt...
[14:41] <JustV> ompaul: doesnt deleted..
[14:41] <peppers> ty Jack_Sparrow
[14:41] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: so i can't use i810 anymore?
[14:41] <ompaul> JustV, are you running any applications that are using it at the moment
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: sure you can...
[14:42] <JustV> ompaul: no, i just installed it..
[14:42] <JustV> ompaul: and i want fully remove it
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: please poost your xorg to the pastebin for people to review for you
[14:42] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: how? it won't keep it. Everything goes back to VESA after reboot
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> pepperjack: Please see winehq for safety tips
[14:42] <Pir8> Anyone recommend a good DVD Photo/Video authoring program for ubuntu?
[14:42] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: how do i post it to the past bin?

[14:48] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: When you did dpkg did you enter the video ram yourself?
[14:49] <brobostigon> good afternoon
[14:50] <Redhammer_the_Ol> hi daft question: I cannot seem to get rid of old soundcards, where is the config file (must be in home) where these are described, they make my gnome mixer totally convoluted
[14:51] <peace> how to copy file from ubuntu to windowsxp via virtualbox. virtualbox-devices/select folder..... in windowsxp start/run/cmd net use x: \\vbox.... - error 1231.
[14:51] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: I am dealing with it for 2 days now. This is the xorg.conf I was using before, I got it from a backup.
[14:53] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: for some reason the log file says it's using xorg.conf.failsafe instead, but even if i replace it with the same contents of xorg.conf it will give me the same VESA drivers
[14:53] <theunixgeek> I followed http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/18/removing-kde-icons-in-gnome-remove-gnome-icons-in-kde/ to remove KDE  apps from the GNOME menus and vice versa; how do I undo it.
[14:53] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: Since you already have a backup would you mind trying something for me... pull line 33 for me....
[14:54] <cyroul> peace: don't virtualbox, but you can use smb to transfer your files
[14:54] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow:  line 33 of what?
[14:54] <cornel1> I've got a printer problem...   I can't print from evince, there's no printer listed, even though I've a default set up.  More details:  I'm using Feisty, I've connected to a printer on a winXP machine and test printed.  The printer is my one and only, and it's the default (according to system / administration / printing)... But I can't print to it from evince. When I hit file/print print, there's no printers listed.  In firefox there
[14:55] <ras> join #ubuntu-fr
[14:55] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: remove line 33 of that xorg.conf and retry it...
[14:55] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: ok, i'll do that and will come back here
[14:55] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: thanks
[14:56] <peace> problem solved..thanks good luck
[14:56] <peppers> ok,
[14:56] <peppers> I booted the live cd, /bin/sh is there
[14:56] <peppers> I ran e2fsck and it says everything's allright
[14:56] <peppers> any help?
[14:58] <peppers> Jack_Sparrow: still there?
[14:58] <porcho> hi there. I'm having problems changing Deskbar Applet from <Alt>F3 to something else. I've managed to change it using gconf-editor, but now I can't assign <Alt>F3 to nothing else. can somebody help me?
[14:58] <cyroul> peppers: can you boot in safe mode, coz if you can, transfer your files on usb and copy them over
[14:58] <Jack_Sparrow> peppers: Yes, I can help, my first suggestion.. please stop hitting the enter key as often..:)
[14:58] <khelll> i need a software that plays 3gp files
[14:58] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: did that ... still have the same problem
[14:59] <tapas> i want to encrypt my root fs
[14:59] <tapas> i have a new disk and would like to encrypt all partitions on it..
[14:59] <PriceChild> tapas, the alternate cd will do it for you easily
[14:59] <PriceChild> !alternate | tapas
[14:59] <ubotu> tapas: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD.  It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal
[14:59] <brobostigon> khelll: have you tried to play it with vlc??
[14:59] <peppers> ok, sorry. cyroul, I can't. when booting, it says that /bin/sh couldn't be found when running rc-something :S and sugests running e2fsck because somethign is corupted
[14:59] <tapas> i have a system already up and running.. i would like to copy my current root fs to the new partition.
[15:00] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: funny cos before the login page i see this "low graphics mode" popup and rite after i login into gnome it says the X config is different from GNOME and it asks me which one i want to use
[15:00] <peppers> I booted the live cd, mounted the ubuntu partition and checked. both /bin/sh and /bin/dash are there and work. and I ran e2fsck and it gave no error
[15:00] <PriceChild> tapas, I would suggest copying your home folder and "/msg ubotu clone" instead.
[15:00] <PriceChild> tapas, its a lot less hassle.
[15:00] <Arelis> Does anybody know how i can install Ubuntu on a pendrive and then boot using the livecd and the pendrive, like in this video?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URPLClzWehY
[15:00] <tapas> PriceChild: probably..
[15:01] <PriceChild> tapas, and "should" be the same result...
[15:01] <Wibble-> peppers silly question, but when you booted the live CD, you did check the /bin on your HD not from the CD? ;)
[15:01] <tapas> PriceChild: i would like to understand though how one overcomes the difficulty of having the initrd lie on an encrypted fs
[15:01] <PriceChild> tapas, you're leaving my comfort zone.
[15:01] <peppers> yes Wibble. I did. I mounted /dev/hda2 in /media/disk and checked the contents of that
[15:01] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: Still runs back to failsafe..  run dpkg.. again.. but select only the intel driver, and use tab and accept all other defaults...  I will be looking up something else on your monitor while you do that.
[15:01] <tapas> i know how to create encrypted partitions with luks and have done so successfullly in the past..
[15:01] <PriceChild> yup
[15:01] <brobostigon> arelis: there are loads of howtos out there about this, look on help.ubuntu.ciom first
[15:02] <tapas> PriceChild: ok.. if i find no other way i might resort to downloading and burning the alternate installer image
[15:02] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: ok, would u give me the command line again pls?
[15:03] <mrchicago> having problems installing ubuntu cant run local scripts forum says its the radeon HD 2600xt
[15:04] <peppers> so, anyone know what could be happening?
[15:04] <MrPiracy> what's the command line to reconfigure xorg.conf please?
[15:05] <meezfoghi> hi all
[15:05] <meezfoghi> i
[15:05] <brobostigon> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, i think
[15:05] <meezfoghi> i have  problem about conky
[15:05] <MrPiracy> brobostigon: thanx
[15:05] <meezfoghi> can anyone help me
[15:06] <brobostigon> meezfoghi: of course, fire away with the question??
[15:06] <meezfoghi> brobostigun: Conky: can't load font 'arial'
[15:07] <meezfoghi> brobostigun: i already install that font
[15:07] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[15:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry was reading the manual on your monitor
[15:08] <brobostigon> meezfoghi: i am not sure what you mean, load font arial where??
[15:08] <bolt> How can I set the variable FOO to be "foo'bar!" without the first and last quote? having trouble escaping it
[15:08] <jrib> bolt: FOO=foo\'bar
[15:09] <brobostigon> Foo = foo'bar!
[15:09] <meezfoghi> brobostigun: from conky
[15:09] <bolt> brobostigon: that leaves me with the > prompt
[15:10] <bolt> jrib: and that sets the variable to foo\'bar, including the \ and without the exclamation mark :/
[15:10] <Wibble-> Can you set an env var to include another env var? I want PATH to include $wibble - but I want to change $wibble when I like and have $PATH kept in sync
[15:10] <cyroul>  i m looking for a dolution regarding PnP ACPI error during the boot, can' t find anything off the internet, just bug reports
[15:11] <Wibble-> bolt: FOO=foo\'bar! works for me.
[15:11] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: The refresh on your monitor is off, only by 1 each way.. but I have seen simpler things cause problems  http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Philips+monitor+190C+manual+pdf&btnG=Search is your manual   55 - 75  not 56 - 76  cant hurt to change that as well
[15:11] <Wibble-> bolt: what shell are you using?
[15:11] <bolt> Wibble-: bash
[15:11] <Wibble-> me too.  And as I said, it WFM.
[15:11] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: grrrrr.... i had tried it before, it failed on the same place: attempting to detect my monitor
[15:11] <finalbeta> lol, I'm downloading with kftpgrabber and playing music. the music skips because kftpgrabber uses to much cpu. Task scheduling really needs some attention.
[15:11] <meezfoghi> i have  problem about conky
[15:12] <meezfoghi> brobostigun: Conky: can't load font 'arial'
[15:12] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: Dont let it sdetect the monitor settings
[15:12] <bolt> Wibble-: are you sure you are using the right ' character?
[15:12] <bolt> Wibble-: it's the single quote one
[15:12] <peppers> ok, I copied the old wacom.ko back to place
[15:12] <Wibble-> single quote, not back tick? yes.
[15:12] <peppers> gonna reboot and try it out.
[15:12] <brobostigon> meezfoghi: no idea, sorry.
[15:12] <bolt> Wibble-: which leaves bash waiting for the other part
[15:12] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: The refresh on your monitor is off, only by 1 each way.. but I have seen simpler things cause problems  http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Philips+monitor+190C+manual+pdf&btnG=Search is your manual   55 - 75  not 56 - 76  cant hurt to change that as well
[15:12] <Wibble-> but it works with backquote too :)
[15:12] <Wibble-> bolt: No - you escape the ' with \.  Then it doesn't wait for any more.
[15:13] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: so should i just change it in my xorg.conf and reboot?
[15:14] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[15:15] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: ok, i'll be back
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: And leave out the video ram line as well
[15:15] <dan_l> Hey,  got a quick command line question:  I'm trying to do cp [directory] "/usr/apps/whatever/"
[15:15] <dan_l> and it seems to spit out the destination
[15:15] <dan_l> how is that line supposed to be formed?
[15:16] <Wibble-> dan_l: cp -r /usr/apps/sourcedirectory /usr/apps/whatever/ ?
[15:16] <brobostigon> cp "source" "destinantion"
[15:16] <Jack_Sparrow> dan_l: Not trying to be flip.. but you know you can always do man cp   or man any cli command for help
[15:17] <dan_l> Jack_Sparrow:  Sorry.  I was thinking that the problem is the way I'm referencing the destination
[15:17] <dan_l> sudo cp simple $/usr/share/apps/yakauake/
[15:18] <dan_l> I tried that without the $ too.  I'm just trying to figure out what the problem with the dest is.
[15:18] <incorrect> i am trying to reconnect to my 'screen' however it says can not open /dev/pts/0
[15:18] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: same thing man, as if gutsy doesn't get its settings from this file
[15:19] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: nothing that i change in this file seems to change anything after i reboot
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: If it cant use the settings you put in there, it will trash it and use failsafe.
[15:19] <nephtes> Hi all...  How do I modify kernel commandline options so that they don't get overwritten by update-grub on the next kernel install?
[15:19] <bolt> gah. this is ridiculous. I finally got my variable set right, but wpa_passphrase still complains. I have a key with 63 characters in it, and it contains both ' and ! which need to be escaped. When I do so, wpa_passphrase includes the escape characters in its count, telling me the key is too long. it isn't! if I replace the special characters with normal ones, it runs just fine. arg!
[15:20] <bolt> I think this wireless network is linux-secure or something
[15:20] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: well, that's what the log file says ... it is using xorg.conf.failsafe, but i dont know why
[15:20] <Jack_Sparrow> dan_l: what are you referencing with the word simple
[15:20] <enzo> ls
[15:20] <enzo> oups
[15:20] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: i have been using it for a while, but if i apply the updates, it starts to happen
[15:21] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: i have the whole partition backed up, and i rolled back to it like 5 times already
[15:22] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: What sources do you have in your sources.list
[15:22] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: Would you mind posting that.
[15:22] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: no problem, hold on
[15:23] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: aw, what's the path to it?
[15:23] <carndt> why isn't documentroot specified in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and why is it ignored when it is set
[15:24] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: etc/apt  you caught me reading again
[15:24] <amenado> carndt-> could it possibly be in one of the other include'ed config files?
[15:24] <muesli> is there a hardy specific irc channel/
[15:24] <Magus_X> for?
[15:24] <nephtes> Ahh found it
[15:24] <carndt> nope its missing in action everywhere!
[15:25] <Jack_Sparrow> muesli: yes  ubuntu+1
[15:25] <muesli> for 2.6.24 specific kernel questions

[15:27] <patogen> I can't seem to find how I can use irssi+xmonad, xmonad uses the alt-key for "everything" and I can't seem to get irssi to work nice with this
[15:27] <patogen> any idea? I don't find anything nice on google, I know that I saw something before however
[15:28] <ri47614> patogen: you can use esc instead of alt in irssi
[15:28] <incorrect> i am trying to start a service using screen, however it keeps trying to bind to an existing pts
[15:28] <ri47614> patogen: like esc 2 to switch to window 2
[15:29] <astro76> patogen: yeah ESC *then* window key
[15:29] <astro76> *window number/letter
[15:29] <ompaul> incorrect, http://www.amitu.com/blog/2004/12/screen-howto.html might be what you want
[15:29] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: remark out the last 4 lines with # ... then refresh the sources and do your updates and see if that changes anything
[15:30] <patogen> ri47614 and astro76: Thank you. I would like to be able to use the window key instead, but esc is good for now :)
[15:30] <incorrect> thank you ompaul
[15:30] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[15:30] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: i'll be back
[15:30] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: I will be here
[15:30] <demreath> is it possible to allow user to change their passwords (via passwd command) without a need of writing the old one?

[15:31] <MrPink> hey somehow I changed the key binding for my "Del" button to open up System Monitor... so now it doesn't delete a file, or the following character, but instead opens the System Monitor... any idea how I can change that back via console... cuz I cant find it anywhere else :-/
[15:31] <peppers> hello, just to say I solved the problem
[15:32] <peppers> my 50-xserver-xorg udev file was faulty :S
[15:32] <ompaul> incorrect, enjoy
[15:32] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: update manager is showing the same updates available (this last time i didnt apply them all). there's firefox left, 15mb download
[15:32] <peppers> back to ubuntu, it's working fine. thanks for the help
[15:32] <amenado> MrPink  control-H for vim is delete chars
[15:33] <zerok> hi :-) anybody here running apache2 with mod_deflate?
[15:33] <Arelis> Hi all. I've been blindly using Ubuntu, not knowing if my hardware supports it or not. Can you guys help me with issues i'm having with hardware and tell me if my computer is fully compatible with Ubuntu? I've made a whole document to ask a proper question. It's in pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/4411/ <-- Don't let it's lenghtyness scare you away, please.
[15:33] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: So you did updates except firefox and you are still using intel driver?
[15:33] <MrPink> amenado: The problem is that everywhere my delete button opens up System Monitor... and I wont the standard key binding for delete :(
[15:34] <amenado> MrPink-> one of these days i'll get around learning that too, xmodmap and remapping keys..
[15:35] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: ok, if i restore this partition, everything works great, but it leaves me tons in updates. First I tried to apply them all and it took me to where i am now. Then i restored the partition and tried just parts of it and it brought me here again.
[15:35] <amenado> Arelis if you were already using ubuntu, I take it that it already worked for you?
[15:35] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: this last time i tried to leave firefox and libboost out of it, but no go
[15:35] <Arelis> amenado, Yes but it breaks down alot.
[15:35] <Arelis> amenado, it doesn't work as good as Windows does
[15:35] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: i did that now because i have also tried to apply ONLY firefox and libboost before and the same thing happened
[15:35] <amenado> Arelis-> what do you mean it break down a lot? like what breaks down?
[15:36] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: I am running out of ideas.. but try to figure out which of those updates is causing the problem, then see if it is realtred to something you installed manually
[15:36] <amenado> Arelis-> "good as" is relative, have you gotten any virus on you ubuntu lately?
[15:36] <Arelis> amenado, Well i haven't had it happening for sometime now, because i have just reinstalled Ubuntu. But things like kernel issues, libraries missing, apt-get segfaulting all the time.
[15:36] <Arelis> amenado, virus? not that i know of.
[15:37] <amenado> Arelis right, so "good as" is relative
[15:37] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: that's the thing .... i tried to ... but it seems to be the update itself. If i apply ONLY firefox and libboost, i come to this. If i apply the rest and leave firefox and libboost out of it, i come to this too.
[15:37] <mindtwitch> Hi everybody
[15:37] <Arelis> amenado, windows in general has been more stable, faster, less likely to break down.
[15:37] <amenado> Arelis-> what exactly have you been doing with kernel and libraries that is missing?
[15:38] <Magus_X> Arelis: but windows is a timebomb
[15:38] <linus__^> i've just installed ubuntu 7.10, but when i type `su -' it ask me a root password! does exist a default root password?
[15:38] <Magus_X> may explode when you don't even expect
[15:38] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: What all have you installed manually, and hopefully, you did not use envy or automatix to get your intel working
[15:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !root
[15:38] <brobostigon> Arelis: unix is the most stable system i have ever seen, more stable than any i have ever tried.
[15:38] <ubotu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[15:38] <Magus_X> linus__^: use your user password
[15:38] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: i dont even know what envy or automatix are
[15:38] <amenado> Arelis-> you already seemed to have made up your mind, mind is set, you have to give the new stuff a chance
[15:38] <mindtwitch> Anybody point me in the right direction. Installing server and when initiates partioner I just get a blank screen. Tried a couple times but no luck. Could it be bad partition or bad drive?
[15:38] <Magus_X> ah yeah, and do not use su, use sudo
[15:39] <Jack_Sparrow> linus__^: USe sudo or gksudo
[15:39] <Arelis> amenado, Well i had that happening two times: at the first time, i was screwing around with windowmanagers and desktop environments. Then suddenly programs wouldn't start anymore, so i went to a console and saw an error message i posted to #ubuntu-bugs. But the second time it was a fresh install of ubuntu with no customizations like that. And it happened again.
[15:39] <amenado> linus__^-> nope,
[15:39] <Magus_X> and you can use sudo -r su
[15:39] <Magus_X> afaik
[15:39] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: and again, the critical point is the update thing ... from these servers u saw on pastebin
[15:39] <Arelis> brobostigon, Yes, so that's why i'm wondering.. why isn't it here?
[15:39] <Magus_X> to get su
[15:39] <linus__^> so with ubuntu i CAN'T log as superuser?
[15:39] <notsoquick> !sudo | linus__^
[15:39] <mohbana> why do i keep having to reinstall the nvidia drivers each time i upgrade?
[15:39] <ubotu> linus__^: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[15:39] <brobostigon> Arelis: linux is architecturely the same as unix, and unix is here,
[15:40] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: THe only time we seem to have problems with updates is when a person has installed something manually from outside the repos and it creates a conflict
[15:40] <notsoquick> mohbana cos that is the way of nvidia not talking to the developers of sudo
[15:40] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: first time, i applied them all. in the end it said all updates were applied successfully, but after reboot i come to the same low graphics mode
[15:40] <notsoquick> mohbana cos that is the way of nvidia not talking to the developers of the kernel
[15:40] <Magus_X> sudo -r su does get su working right?
[15:40] <Magus_X> if you need su, try it
[15:40] <Joelito> Anyone if Anjuta can create JAVA applications? Seems that by default uses C, C++ and gtk+
[15:40] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: I really dont have any answers at this point.
[15:40] <Arelis> brobostigon, did you read the list of my hardware?
[15:40] <notsoquick> !supportroot| magus_x
[15:40] <ubotu> magus_x: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-)
[15:40] <erawfish> Joelito: can't
[15:41] <Joelito> erawfish: ok, thanks.
[15:41] <brobostigon> arelis: sorry. no, i must have missed it
[15:41] <erawfish> Joelito: eclipse
[15:41] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: i installed manually: wine, tried to install java machine (from original site), kiba-dock (which never worked) and awn
[15:41] <Arelis> brobostigon, <Arelis> "I've been blindly using Ubuntu, not knowing if my hardware supports it or not.

[15:41] <amenado> Arelis-> it is enlightening isnt it to mess around with windows manager, do you do the same to windows and get back a full system?  we may be able to assist you in resolving some problem..any specific ones?  one a time off course..
[15:42] <brobostigon> !hcl | arelis
[15:42] <ubotu> arelis: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection
[15:42] <erawfish> Arelis: what's the problem?
[15:42] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: ok, but then again ... why doesn't it just let me choose i810 again? If i go to screens and settings and choose i810, i will close it and reopen it and see VESA there. It doesn't save what i choose
[15:43] <erawfish> edit xorg.conf, write i810 there and run startx
[15:43] <erawfish> all whnen X is closed of course
[15:43] <erawfish> then it will error. you paste the Xorg log and we might be englightened
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Arelis: FYI. when you play with window decorations and get totally lost...  try this next time..  http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/
[15:44] <Arelis> erawfish, Ubuntu has been unstable, (i caused most of the damage). But Ubuntu is more stable than Windows, and i didn't break Windows.. so i'm thinking it is in the hardware
[15:44] <MrPiracy> erawfish: it is there already, but X doesnt seem to get the settings from this file
[15:44] <MrPiracy> erawfish: want me to post the log file?
[15:44] <notsoquick> erawfish perhaps sudo dpkg_reconfigure xserver-xorg would be of use to that user more so
[15:44] <erawfish> Arelis: unstable is a useless error description. try harder
[15:44] <Arelis> Jack_Sparrow, I didn't mean that kind of window manager. I meant switching to bare-bones environments like WMII, DWM and fluxbox
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: I can only suggest one more thing to try.. rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity   then restart x
[15:45] <amenado> Arelis  lets do it this way okay? have your fresh install, and modify only one feature at a time. let us know where it fails, then we can assist
[15:45] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: what will it do?
[15:45] <erawfish> MrPiracy: reset all gnome settings
[15:45] <erawfish> something that won't help but sounds good
[15:46] <Jack_Sparrow> MrPiracy: look at the site I linked above for Arelis
[15:46] <MrPiracy> Jack_Sparrow: ok, will be rite back
[15:46] <MrPiracy> erawfish: lol
[15:46] <notsoquick> mrpiracy you could start your machine with a livecd and then mount your hard drive - after that copy the working X profile from the live cd to the hard drive and reboot
[15:47] <amenado> notsoquick-> very good idea and suggestion
[15:47] <Jack_Sparrow> erawfish: I was thinking that since he manually installed awm and some things that it couldnt hurt to try since he has full partition backup
[15:47] <Jack_Sparrow> notsoquick: HE has a good xorg.. he only has a problem after applying updates.
[15:47] <MrPiracy> notsoquick: how do i copy the working X profile?
[15:47] <amenado> notsoquick-> if the liveCD iso can be mounted, it can be copied from it directly, i believe it is the filesquashfs.squash file
[15:48] <incorrect> still can't figure out why i can't create a new screen :(
[15:48] <Kibbles> having problems setting up ATI card
[15:48] <MistressMelinda> server irc.bondage.com
[15:49] <amenado> MrPiracy-> hang a few..let me see if i can grab it from livecd iso..
[15:49] <MrPiracy> ok, let me ask a question .... does the X login page use a different config file than gnome?
[15:49] <erawfish> MrPiracy: it can
[15:50] <erawfish> !ati | Kibbles
[15:50] <ubotu> Kibbles: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[15:50] <erawfish> Kibbles: what card is it?
[15:50] <MrPiracy> the whole problem is that after updates and reboot, i get this "low graphics mode" popup before the login
[15:50] <Kibbles> erawfish: x2400
[15:50] <notsoquick> mrpiracy sorry it appears your issue is slightly different, I suggest sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and pick your driver from there
[15:50] <MrPiracy> and whatever i change in that has no effect
[15:50] <erawfish> fglrx it is then. pr vesa
[15:51] <theunixgeek> How do I get the default Ubuntu window theme back after having installed emerald? :(
[15:51] <MrPiracy> ok, will do that again ... last time it froze on monitor detection, i'll bypass it this time
[15:52] <notsoquick> mrpiracy do this sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop this stops X now in the console do the full trick but you should have a valid xorg.conf file which works in your /etc/X11 directory form a previous install
[15:52] <Kibbles> erawfish: thanks, that looks like a good candidate ;)
[15:52] <amenado> notsoquick and MrPiracy shoot, i just mounted filesystem.squash  (the liveCD environment) and found no  etc/X11/xorg.conf  which i believe is created when initrd of livecd  starts
[15:53] <amenado> i thought the filesystem.squashfs have the xorg.conf
[15:53] <notsoquick> amenado you boot from the livecd and that creates a reasonable xorg.conf on the live system which can then be used
[15:54] <notsoquick> gtg
[15:54] <amenado> notsoquick right, at first i thought it had a default xorg.conf laying around, aparently its created live
[15:54] <rudolph> hello I have a problem. I just installed Ubuntu desktop 7.10 on a Dell Inspiron 510m laptop. and when i try to login with my account it says you are not allwed to access system configuration, What to do?
[15:54] <emma>  I am about to do a fresh install of gutsy... Is there anything I should be aware of before I start?
[15:54] <emma> I am currently running Feisty
[15:54] <MrPiracy> i just did the reconfigure thing ... will reboot, brb
[15:54] <pharum> try sudo
[15:54] <rudolph> and i cant even enter X
[15:55] <wokini> hi
[15:55] <rudolph> but with the "ubuntu" account i can login
[15:55] <rudolph> and i cant even su from there
[15:55] <Jack_Sparrow> emma: If possible, create a seperate /home partition
[15:56] <emma>  Ok I have heard that from a few people so I will try to do that.
[15:56] <emma> How big should it be?
[15:56] <Jack_Sparrow> rudolph: sudo of gksudo
[15:56] <emma> Give root 10 G and home partition the rest?
[15:56] <Jack_Sparrow> yep
[15:56] <uuuman> Hi. Anyone know how to install wine <IP_ADDRESS>? I can only install <IP_ADDRESS>. Thanks
[15:56] <emma> will it be fairly clear how much is available when Im going through the install process?
[15:56] <Jack_Sparrow> emma: If you have a lot of space give root an extra 10
[15:57] <emma> Right now I dual boot windows and feisty fawn.  If I put in the install CD will it be able to recognize I'm trying to do a fresh install over the current ubuntu but still let me dual boot?
[15:57] <ACe_maC> where is the trading channel here, anyone
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> emma: yes, the manual partitioning is quite clear
[15:57] <emma> 20 G for root?
[15:57] <emma> I have a 200 G hard drive, but I just bought a 500 G external drive.
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> emma: do this.. fdisk -l  L is the last letter
[15:58] <uuuman> Hi. Anyone know how to install wine <IP_ADDRESS>? I can only install <IP_ADDRESS>. Thanks
[15:58] <Jack_Sparrow> uuuman: Ask in #winehq
[15:58] <emma> Okay it just gave me some information. I'm not sure which of the information you would like to know though.
[15:58] <erawfish> emma: all of it
[15:58] <erawfish> !paste
[15:58] <ACe_maC> any cashiers here?
[15:58] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[15:58] <Jack_Sparrow> emma: WOuld you mind posting it to the pastebin
[15:58] <amenado> emma once you get to the partitioning portion, only mark the new paritions for formatting and do not mark the older ubuntu and windows partitions,
[15:59] <emma> No I don't mind.
[15:59] <Radiobuzz> hola
[15:59] <emma> amenado - I don't understand.
[15:59] <MrPiracy> grrrr nothing seems to work
[15:59] <Radiobuzz> hi
[15:59] <MrPiracy> everything brings me back to this
[15:59] <emma> I thought we wanted to mark the older ubuntu partitions.
[15:59] <ahorriblemess> hello everyone, good morning.. or something
[15:59] <uuuman> thanks sparrow will do
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> amenado:  If she wants a new ubuntu she would need to remove the old ubuntu partiton
[16:00] <amenado> emma it means when you are manually partitioning, you pick and choose which partition to touch and format, so I suggest leaving those old partitions alone
[16:00] <rudolph> Jack_Sparrow : gksudo and then?
[16:00] <Jack_Sparrow> ahorriblemess: Good Day works...
[16:00] <emma> My aim is to leave windows alone, to continue to dual boot, but to get rid of the old ubuntu and replace it with a fresh ubuntu.
[16:00] <m6784> hallo
[16:00] <rudolph> i still cant su after it
[16:00] <rudolph> need reboot?
[16:00] <magnetron> if i bought a nvidia GeForce 8500GT, how well would it work in ubuntu gutsy?
[16:00] <amenado> Jack_Sparrow-> nope, i have done it where i leave the old ubuntu partitions alone,
[16:00] <ahorriblemess> Can anyone help me with removing a program? I have Wolfenstein, but I would like to remove it, I assume whatever code I learn can be applied to any program right?
[16:01] <Magus_X> WORFENSTEIN
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> amenado: I can have several linux installs, but that is not what she asked
[16:01] <Magus_X> YOU CANNOT REMOVE IT
[16:01] <Magus_X> IT IS GODLY
[16:01] <amenado> emma oh, you want to get rid of the old ubuntu, the yeah, reformat the old ubuntu partition
[16:01] <ahorriblemess> i cant get the security fix
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Magus_X: Please lost the caps
[16:01] <ahorriblemess> and i have to return my computer for a new one
[16:01] <emma> Okay. I do want that. I want to replace the old ubuntu with the new ubuntu.
[16:01] <amenado> Jack_Sparrow-> yep i missed what she said about removing the old one..i usually save the old one just incase type of thing..heh
[16:01] <m6784> can anyone help me compiling a kernel with standard ubuntu settings?
[16:02] <Jack_Sparrow> amenado: And in this case we want to add a seperate /home...
[16:02] <ahorriblemess> nice flood, did anyone else get that or am I just lagging?
[16:02] <emma> The pastbin link is not working yet.
[16:02] <Jack_Sparrow> emma: Do you want to upgrade instead, and keep most of your settings and all that
[16:02] <danand_> no - got that too
[16:02] <eagle-101> ahorriblemess, its another server joining in
[16:02] <ahorriblemess> huh
[16:02] <amenado> Jack_Sparrow-> that too, i usually have a separate /home, but if I already have that in the older ubuntu (ie a separate /home) I just re-use it
[16:03] <eagle-101> ahorriblemess, we all got it :P
[16:03] <danand_> ahorriblemess - that happened on #debian too
[16:03] <ahorriblemess> ok well anyway, can anyone tell me how to uninstall programs?
[16:03] <emma> Jack_Sparrow - I really want to do a fresh install. I've already copied my current home folder to the external hard drive, and I'm hoping to copy it back to the new home folder.
[16:03] <ACe_maC> can anyone assign me to a trading channel thanks
[16:03] <incorrect> i've logged in using my admin user, sudo -i' su - anotheruser,   when i try to run screen as anotheruser it tries to use the pts that my admin users is using
[16:03] <emma> I want to do a fresh install, create a home partition, and fix some things I might have broken.
[16:03] <vins> hi do you know how convert png files into one avi video ?
[16:03] <Jack_Sparrow> amenado: and if she had a seperate home rihgt now, she would be golden for installing the newer ubuntu right
[16:03] <amenado> Jack_Sparrow-> yep
[16:03] <shiwaraya> Hello. when I activate my second monitor, desktop get streched bigger than screen. how can i resolve that?

[16:05] <Jack_Sparrow> amenado: thanks  emma   take care...
[16:05] <amenado> rudolph-> i thought you said earlier you were able to install successfully?

[16:08] <emma> okay
[16:08] <naderman> hey everyone, I got a new pc and tried to install ubuntu, it has a fakeraid (in raid1 mode) and I set that up from the livecd (using dmraid and fdisk) then started the installation until it quite because grub wasn't installable, then installed grub from chroot, then I tried booting up in recovery mode and got some errors about apic, so I added noapic to grub config, and ran update-grub again, however now I only get the grub console when boot
[16:08] <naderman> ing up, anyone got an idea why?
[16:08] <xxx> some one here speak spanish?
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> emma: SIlly me.. sorry
[16:08] <jrib> xxx: /join #ubuntu-es
[16:08] <emma> There more has shown up.
[16:08] <xxx> tks
[16:08] <rudolph> the computer clock appears to be wrong
[16:08] <rudolph> it says
[16:08] <rudolph> the session might encounter issues
[16:09] <naderman> also when I try to boot from live cd again and install dmrad, it no longer shows my partitions which it did before
[16:09] <amenado> emma re pastebin it
[16:09] <rudolph> ahh
[16:09] <NineTails> unsure
[16:09] <rudolph> i just had to ignore
[16:09] <naderman> *dmraid
[16:09] <rudolph> that
[16:10] <amenado> naderman-> can you try having a separate /boot partition when installing? it may help in completing an install
[16:10] <emma> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55480/
[16:10] <emma> correction ^
[16:10] <naderman> amenado: I can do that sure
[16:10] <naderman> but why would that help?
[16:11] <amenado> naderman i read somewhere that the loaders before have difficulty booting off of a raid..but proly its corrected now
[16:11] <Ro1> !fsck
[16:11] <ubotu> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[16:11] <emma> Oh I get what that is saying, it's describing the two hard drives I have. First the internal one, and the partitions, and then it mentions the external one.
[16:11] <emma> You see the internal one is 200 GB and the external one is 500 GB
[16:12] <naderman> amenado: actually I cannot do that anymore because dmraid -ay doesn't do anything anymore, so /dev/mapper/isw_something doesn't exist anymore, whithout which I cannot create any partitions
[16:12] <amenado> emma that sda3, is your old ubuntu, yeah go ahead and repartition it, and add /home also
[16:12] <naderman> amenado: well it worked first time, but I somehow messed something up now
[16:13] <naderman> I guess I did some mistake on the second grub-update, but I have no idea what
[16:13] <amenado> naderman-> well it looks like a re-install is in order
[16:13] <amenado> naderman wait..
[16:13] <naderman> amenado: well I'd do, if dmraid would find my hdds?
[16:13] <amenado> naderman you can not boot at all?
[16:13] <Jack_Sparrow> amenado: what about sda3 being her new root and a new partition on the 500 gig for /home of whatever size she wants and the rest of the 500 for windows or ntfs?
[16:13] <naderman> amenado: yes
[16:13] <naderman> all I get right now is the grub console when booting
[16:13] <triton-->  how can i upgrade to alsa 1.16?
[16:13] <emma> how are you able to tell that sda3 is the old ubuntu?  Why does sda2 have an * after it?  And what are those 4,5 about?
[16:13] <amenado> naderman yikes..what kind of prompt are you getting now?
[16:13] <erawfish> naderman: grub cannot boot from raid partitions
[16:14] <naderman> erawfish: huh it worked first time?
[16:14] <erawfish> Enemy: * is the boot flag
[16:14] <Magus_X> can't? :<
[16:14] <naderman> (also this is a fakeraid, not a real one)
[16:14] <emma> should I format everything except the windows partitions?
[16:14] <erawfish> emma: it is irrelevant
[16:14] <naderman> and there's a lot of howtos online which explain how to do it, and it works for those people
[16:14] <xander__> hey how can i configure sound on my laptop
[16:14] <amenado> Jack_Sparrow-> that sounds wonderful, all emma has to create on the internal is the /  and swap partitions, the /home can be anywhere else like the 2nd drive
[16:14] <naderman> so grub can do this, I've seen it boot fine
[16:14] <howdoudo> Is there a way to open the terminal via a keyboard command?
[16:14] <erawfish> naderman: plase show me one
[16:14] <Ro1> I have accidentally deleted some files from /usr when I was trying to delete a stubborn application from Wine. Is there a way to retrieve them back?
[16:14] <naderman> erawfish: one sec
[16:14] <astro76> howdoudo: set one in system > prefs > keyboard shortcuts
[16:15] <erawfish> Ro1: what filesystem?
[16:15] <naderman> erawfish: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> amenado: she doesnt even need to mess with partitions on sda.. just let the installer reformat the existing
[16:15] <Ro1> erawfish: ext3
[16:15] <emma> I think the part I'm worried about is doing something wrong and wiping out windows also.
[16:15] <emma> I need to dual boot for now.
[16:15] <amenado> Jack_Sparrow-> yep, just reformat the existing
[16:15] <naderman> erawfish: as I said all of that worked fine, I just forgot to set noapic, so the kernel boooted and then after a bit froze for that reason, and after changing the grub config and rebooting I only get the grub console now instead of my menu
[16:16] <emma> will the installer be smart enough to just replace the old ubuntu but leave windows alone?
[16:16] <xander__> my laptop is lenovo y410
[16:16] <danand_> Ro1 - no way to recover files from journalled filesystem
[16:16] <amenado> emma-> the partitioneer will tell you the old ubuntu partition exist, and ask you what you want to do with it
[16:16] <Ro1> :(
[16:16] <howdoudo> astro76 that allows me to edit the ones that are already established but not to add a new one.
[16:16] <emma> Okay
[16:17] <emma> Well let's hope this works.
[16:17] <Jack_Sparrow> emma: yes, just select sda3 and mount as /  create new partiton on the 500 of whatever size you want and mount as /home .. oh, and I really am gone.. the wife is giving me that look ... take care all..
[16:17] <emma> I guess the worst case senario is that I wipe out and destroy everything.
[16:17] <Ro1> danand_: Do I have to reinstall Ubuntu again?
[16:17] <naderman> erawfish: and another one here: http://wiki.eyermonkey.com/My_Ubuntu_%287.10%29_Installation
[16:17] <amenado> naderman-> would it work if you add  noapic on grub during boot? ie modify the boot parameters?
[16:17] <astro76> howdoudo: there's an entry for "Run a terminal" which has no shortcut by default
[16:17] <danand_> Ro1 - if you know what packages the accidental delete ruined you can just use apt-get to reinstall them
[16:17] <erawfish> naderman: so what did you set root as in grub?
[16:17] <emma> (well i can't put a home partition on the 500 GB drive since it's an external USB drive and probably too slow)
[16:18] <Ro1> I see.
[16:18] <naderman> erawfish: (hd0,1)
[16:18] <danand_> Ro1 - do you know what packages/files you deleted
[16:18] <naderman> (hd0,0) is my windows, (hd0,2) is swap, no other partitions
[16:18] <erawfish> naderman: hd0,1 is not a raid partition, is it?
[16:18] <amenado> emma you can use your external as /home
[16:18] <naderman> erawfish: no it's not
[16:18] <naderman> it's not a software raid
[16:18] <emma> but my external is a usb drive..
[16:18] <xander__> can anyone help me configuring sound on my laptop
[16:19] <naderman> that's why grub can understand it
[16:19] <emma> wont it be too slow?
[16:19] <emma> to read and write?
[16:19] <erawfish> naderman: what is device (hd0) ?
[16:19] <naderman> /dev/sda
[16:19] <naderman> err actually
[16:19] <erawfish> naderman: that'S the problem if you want to boot from raid
[16:19] <naderman> hd0 is /dev/mapper/isw_cryptic_Volume0
[16:19] <amenado> emma i doubt it, proly only at the beginning..systems files are not written to it
[16:19] <naderman> which however is /dev/sda and /dev/sdb via dmraid
[16:19] <emma> I was thinking of making a home partition on the internal and then using the external to store media and documents.
[16:20] <astro76> emma: that's probably the best idea
[16:20] <vi390> is there a solution to time limit a login (for Limiting Kids Session time Per Day) ?
[16:20] <amenado> emma you can do that too..i myself use external drive for downloads
[16:20] <howdoudo> astro76 I guess I am blind this morning. Thank!!!
[16:20] <naderman> erawfish: what I did was exactly as in the howto: device (hd0) /dev/mapper/<RAID_SET_NAME>    # hd0 represents the first hard drive in my computer, the "raid disk", none partition
[16:20] <astro76> emma: also that way you don't lose your /home if the external is unplugged
[16:20] <emma> true...
[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> emma: you will end up deleting sda3,4 and 5 , recreating an extended in order to get a seperate home on the internal drive
[16:20] <astro76> howdoudo: you're welcome
[16:21] <naderman> and then root (hd0,1)
[16:21] <amenado> Jack_Sparrow-> the wife, the wife...hehe
[16:21] <emma> Yeah I'm worried for Jack_Sparrow  :|
[16:21] <Jack_Sparrow> amenado: You see the issue.. right.. and yes.. time for breakfast
[16:22] <Jack_Sparrow> emma: all that sounds scarier than it realy is
[16:22] <amenado> we will take care of emma
[16:22] <emma> What is involved in the 'reacreating an extended.. '
[16:22] <Jack_Sparrow> great thanks
[16:22] <gpgp> ok guess this works then
[16:22] <emma> yes thanks Jack_Sparrow  ! Enjoy breakfast!
[16:22] <naderman> erawfish: you following me?
[16:22] <gpgp> hello channel users
[16:22] <RoboCop> i need a server with root access. but i dont have much data transfer and connectivity speed requirments and no restrictions. can any one recomend a good lowest cost dedi.. and with root acces. vps dds ..?
[16:22] <naderman> my problem right now is probably only, that somehow dmraid -r does not list any partitions
[16:23] <emma> Okay I guess I'll try to do it now!
[16:23] <ikonia> RoboCop: this is ubuntu support - not hosting company advice
[16:23] <naderman> even though it correctly detects my hd as raid, and /dev/sda2 contains the right data
[16:23] <amenado> emma once you get to the partitioner, it show what you have and basically delete the old partitions to create the bigger spaces to become new, then edit the new to create those subpartitions
[16:23] <seanw> lo all.
[16:23] <seanw> On gutsy gibbon I am playnig /wmv files in totem
[16:23] <seanw> .wmv*
[16:23] <seanw> BUt all of a sudden the movies won't stretch the full size of the window anymore.
[16:23] <seanw> Why would they not do this?
[16:23] <astro76> RoboCop: try #linux
[16:23] <seanw> THey are small films but I don't mind the distortion
[16:23] <emma> Okay yes. Edit the new to create the subpartitions. And the subpartition I want to make is the /home folder.
[16:24] <RoboCop> asdrubal
[16:24] <naderman> erawfish: it does list /dev/sda and /dev/sdb now, but it doesn't create the /dev/mapper files :/
[16:24] <gpgp> perhaps you hava a locked aspect ratio seanw
[16:24] <amenado> emma 3 new, /   /home and swap
[16:24] <emma> I have to make those three...
[16:24] <papuccino1> Question: I've taken a look at these stencils for Kivio, but they're pay-for. What gives? I thought it was all free for Linux?! Can someone point me to some 100% free alternatives?  Here is the link: http://www.thekompany.com/products/kivio/stencils.php3
[16:24] <emma> do I give them names?
[16:24] <amenado> emma if you decide to put /home in the internal, otherwise only two
[16:24] <emma> Or is it just sda1, sda2, and sda3 ?
[16:25] <emma> And I should give 10+ GB to root,   how much to swap? And everything else to home..
[16:25] <xexeu> Firefox do not access some links. Can someone help me?
[16:25] <Xsss4hell> Why does Syncropated not find my MP3 Player? I have a Meizu M6 miniPlayer
[16:25] <papuccino1> xexeu what links?
[16:25] <amenado> emma partitioner ask you which partitions you create and mount point to associate (/ and swap), and then reformat,
[16:25] <papuccino1> Where can I find free stencils for Kivio?!
[16:25] <Xsss4hell> it says: no masstorage device found..
[16:25] <seanw> gpgp, I am on auto aspect ratio :(
[16:25] <vi390> how can I time Limit a Login Session ?
[16:25] <Xsss4hell> but I Ubuntu recognizes it
[16:26] <gpgp> so are they only the true res of the file then ?
[16:26] <amenado> emma swap is usually 2x the ram, /  partition is 10 gigs is more than enuff
[16:26] <emma> Okay let's hope that the partitioner gives good instructions..
[16:26] <emma> Okay, I guess my ram is 1 GB so 2 GB for swap.
[16:26] <emma> Okay I'm going to try it and see what happens. :)
[16:26] <emma> see you all hopefully....
[16:27] <amenado> papuccino1-> not all are free in linux
[16:27] <xexeu> papuccinol, http://www.t37.com.br/ATHWS.DLL on t37 online must show a ship image, but dont show
[16:27] <seanw> gpgp, yeah, it is just showing me what the file actually is. Earlier on today it was stretching - I don't know what I changed :)
[16:27] <lz7> amenado: i have 2 gb of ram and ubuntu installer shoose 1.2 gb for swap partition. who know better, you or ubuntu installer?
[16:27] <papuccino1> amenado: so there's no free stencils? I find that hard to believe.
[16:27] <cirubuntu> hallo everybody!...I lost my wireless after last update...is there a way to  reinstall it from my LIVE CD??
[16:27] <amenado> lz7-> trust your instincts :)
[16:28] <ikonia> cirubuntu: no. What wirless card do you have
[16:28] <gpgp> this is in totem ?
[16:28] <amenado> papuccino1-> i honestly dont know what a stencil is, a drawing?
[16:28] <cirubuntu> PRO&Wireless 3945 ABG...
[16:28] <ikonia> cirubuntu: intel ?
[16:28] <cirubuntu> yep
[16:28] <papuccino1> amenado: Stencils are like pieces of diagrams for a flow chart. Kivio is a flow-chart designer. Have a look at this website and you'll see: http://www.thekompany.com/products/kivio/stencils.php3
[16:29] <astro76> lz7: the installer, the 2x rule is nonsense
[16:29] <ikonia> cirubuntu: define not working. is the card still seen, or is it just not connecting
[16:29] <naderman> erawfish: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+bug/180688/comments/2 oh dear that sounds like my problem :(
[16:29] <naderman> it only works once
[16:29] <papuccino1> lz7; I agree, use the installer recomendation.
[16:29] <asdrubal> RoboCop,
[16:29] <cirubuntu> after installing ...Ubuntu automatically install my wireless card...but I lost it now..
[16:30] <ikonia> cirubuntu: define lost, is the card not visable any more, or will it just not connect
[16:30] <Xsss4hell> Why doesn't Syncropated find my MP3 Player? I have a Meizu M6 miniPlayer MTP Mode is on currently. ????
[16:30] <amenado> those rule of thumb using 2x the ram is old stuff, when people use to know how to read dumps, which now many do not..hehe
[16:30] <cirubuntu> When I open the connections it ca just see the cabled connection...no wireless
[16:31] <seanw> gpgp, yup.
[16:31] <ikonia> cirubuntu: ok - so the card is not visable. first thing to do is check the kill switch on the laptop
[16:31] <ikonia> cirubuntu: also look at the output of dmesg
[16:31] <xexeu> Firexof do not show image of a ship. Can someone help me?
[16:31] <DoYouKnow> what's the best way to install supercollider in gutsy?
[16:31] <ikonia> xexeu: image of a ship ?
[16:32] <ikonia> DoYouKnow: cupser collider ?
[16:32] <cirubuntu> ikonia..kill switch??
[16:32] <amenado> papuccino1-> they are selling theirs not free, I guess you just have to look around for similar and compatible with your drawing package
[16:32] <DoYouKnow> ikonia, audio processing
[16:32] <ikonia> cirubuntu: hardware switch that enables/disables our wirless card
[16:32] <amenado> people forget about the  o f f / o n switches..hehe
[16:32] <ikonia> DoYouKnow: what do you mean by install it ?
[16:32] <likwidtek> What's up, I was VNC'd into ubuntu and VNC crashed my gnome session.  I have ssh access to the machine, so how do I log the machine back into a gnome session from SSH?
[16:33] <ikonia> amenado: the last 3 people that asked about it with me had turned it off
[16:33] <astro76> likwidtek: try: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart
[16:33] <DoYouKnow> ikonia, well, I want to install the i386 package on my amd64
[16:33] <astro76> likwidtek: oh sorry that won't log you in
[16:33] <amenado> ikonia-> i would not doubt it...the buggers are well hidden
[16:33] <DoYouKnow> using the 32-bit libraries, etc
[16:33] <ikonia> DoYouKnow: thats a significat task
[16:33] <DoYouKnow> but I don't even see it in the 64-bit repos
[16:33] <cirubuntu> ikonia...I allready cheched it...infact now I am logged using live cd
[16:33] <ikonia> DoYouKnow: you'll need pretty much a full 32bit environment on your 64 bit system
[16:34] <ikonia> cirubuntu: do an "lsmod" on the live cd, and then on your install and compare the two
[16:34] <amenado> likwidtek-> you are ssh'd in? did you use -C -Y or -X option when ssh'ing in?
[16:34] <naderman> hmm can I somehow make the livecd operate in ram and from disk entirely?
[16:34] <erawfish>  /lastlog naderman
[16:34] <ikonia> naderman: thats what it is doing
[16:34] <ikonia> naderman: the live operates in ram
[16:34] <Xsss4hell> Is the MTP-MSC Mode not working in Linux??
[16:34] <naderman> ikonia: not exactly
[16:34] <amenado> likwidtek-> then if you did,  once you are logged in,   gnome-session &
[16:34] <naderman> ikonia: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+bug/180688/comments/2
[16:35] <ikonia> naderman: what about that ?
[16:35] <Xsss4hell> because I can't use my mp3 player in rhytmbox and syncropated
[16:35] <cirubuntu> and than?...come back to you?
[16:35] <likwidtek> amenado no, what are -C  _Y -X for?
[16:35] <naderman> well the livecd does take free space on the hdd to use it as swap
[16:35] <ikonia> cirubuntu sounds good
[16:35] <ikonia> naderman: yes, it will need swap as it's running in ram
[16:35] <[M]orpheus> how do I burn Blind write files? that *.b00, *.b6i
[16:35] <cc> anyone benchmarked the new hardy boot time?
[16:36] <naderman> ikonia: yeah and now read that comment
[16:36] <cirubuntu> ok.. cu in a while?
[16:36] <amenado> likwidtek-> if you man ssh  those options should be explained, i dont remember exact verbage...X for Xwindows
[16:36] <ikonia> cc whats the point it will be hardware specific
[16:36] <RoboCop> asdrubal yes?
[16:36] <erawfish> naderman: dmraid stores info about mappers somewhere. while I dunno where it is stored on some disk sector
[16:36] <erawfish> erase it and you can start fresh
[16:36] <ikonia> naderman: dmraid is a bad technology on linux
[16:36] <cc> ikonia: sure, but it should be comparable to gutsy - or am I totally wrong here
[16:36] <erawfish> ikonia: dmraid is a bad tech, period
[16:37] <ikonia> naderman: software raid worrks
[16:37] <naderman> erawfish: hmm ok, so I need to find it?
[16:37] <naderman> ikonia: well I want this fakeraid
[16:37] <ikonia> cc: wrong
[16:37] <naderman> and it works too, I just have to get it right first time
[16:37] <likwidtek> amenado oh I see what you mean like SSH tunneling
[16:37] <ikonia> naderman: rhen don't expect ubuntu to support it
[16:37] <amenado> likwidtek-> yes sir..
[16:37] <naderman> ikonia: huh? ubuntu supports it?
[16:37] <ikonia> naderman: no
[16:37] <cirubuntu> IKONIA ...how can I send that looong file to you_
[16:37] <naderman> oh it's in universe yes
[16:37] <[M]orpheus> how do I burn Blind write files? that *.b00, *.b6i
[16:37] <likwidtek> amenado I just want to start the gnome session local to that machine so I can vnc into it like normal I don't wanna forward X11 to this computer.
[16:37] <cc> ikonia: well, ok
[16:37] <ikonia> cirubuntu: pstebin
[16:38] <naderman> ikonia: still software raid has problems too
[16:38] <ikonia> naderman: no its dost
[16:38] <ikonia> doesnt
[16:38] <cirubuntu> ikonia ...how to use it?
[16:38] <ikonia> !paste | cirubuntu
[16:38] <ubotu> cirubuntu: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[16:38] <xexeu> ikonia, at www.t37.com.br t37 online vessels schedule do not show the camara image
[16:38] <naderman> ikonia: dual boot?
[16:38] <likwidtek> I just wanna ssh in have the local session kick off like normal.  I think to whatever it's called localhost:1 or whatever
[16:38] <ikonia> xexeu: activeX plugin ?
[16:38] <ikonia> naderman: yup
[16:38] <naderman> ikonia: well software raid doesn't quite cover that
[16:39] <speedcore> hi is there anyway to see what version of the live cd one has booted.. I got 2 livecds .. one is amd64 the other is the standard
[16:39] <andrisp> hello, i have a problem with Rhythmbox. All my music resides in /media/sda2/Music, but I have a link to it /home/andrisp/Music. In rhythmbox i selected it to scan only the later dir, but now it seems that it scaned both paths and i have all songs twice. What to do ?
[16:39] <ikonia> naderman: cover what ?
[16:39] <amenado> likwidtek-> i dont know how that is done lest you are in front of it,  the pam login modules detects if you are logging in remotely or locally, and starts the display manager accordingly
[16:39] <xexeu> ikonia, how to install this plugin?
[16:39] <asdrubal> Tra la la lala
[16:39] <ikonia> xexeu: active X doesn't work
[16:39] <asdrubal> #1 solution to rhythmbox = don't use it
[16:39] <ikonia> asdrubal: please don't make random noise
[16:39] <xexeu> I thiin so
[16:39] <naderman> ikonia: well i have two disks, and want them to be mirrored, and run windows and linux on them
[16:39] <andrisp> asdrubal, stupid solution
[16:40] <user01> does anyone know how to add other languages to spellcheck in openoffice?
[16:40] <laylf> hello
[16:40] <ikonia> naderman: so use windows OS raid and linux softrware raid
[16:40] <naderman> windows OS raid?
[16:40] <Under_C> good afternoon from Santiago, Chile...
[16:40] <ikonia> naderman: windows has raid functionality in it
[16:40] <Under_C> is there any help channel in spanish?
[16:40] <amenado> !es | Under_C
[16:40] <ikonia> Under_C: ubuntu-es
[16:40] <ubotu> Under_C: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[16:41] <naderman> ikonia: which is supported by linux ntfs drivers? that's news to me.
[16:41] <Under_C> thanks a lot!
[16:41] <laylf> i installed ubuntu and then vista. i lost the bootloader, so i ran sudo grub via a ubuntu live cd. i used: root (hd0,0) and setup (hd0). now i lost vista. how do i add them to the bootloader menu? (vista?).
[16:41] <ikonia> naderman: no, that won't be supported as it's dependant on the windows OS being running
[16:41] <xexeu> ikonia, I dont know what happen. Just clicking on the link and it must show an image from a camara. But It doestnt happen
[16:41] <likwidtek> thanks for your help
[16:41] <naderman> ikonia: exactly, so instead I just want to use two mirrored disks, which both OSes can work with
[16:41] <naderman> and that is possible with dmraid
[16:42] <ikonia> naderman: your using technology which has technical issues, so your pretty much on your own.
[16:42] <Under_C> mmm... first time here, what is the command to add another channel?
[16:42] <wolfman2323> hi.. how could i install beryl?  is that the one that makes the cube effectS? thanks...
[16:42] <picard_pwns_kirk> wolfman2323: are you on Feisty?
[16:42] <naderman> ikonia: what technical issue?
[16:42] <ikonia> wolfman2323: beryl is dead, compiz-fusion is the replacment its already part of gutsy
[16:42] <wolfman2323> picard.  gutsy
[16:42] <amenado> laylf-> do you know which partition your vista is on? add an entry into your menu.lst for it
[16:42] <naderman> the software seems to work pretty much fine to me?
[16:42] <ikonia> naderman: fake raid is a weak technology
[16:42] <picard_pwns_kirk> wolfman2323: you have compiz fusion then
[16:43] <wolfman2323> ikonia.. how could i make the cube..
[16:43] <naderman> many things are weak ...
[16:43] <ikonia> naderman: well, your a minority
[16:43] <wolfman2323> picard... how to make the cube..
[16:43] <ikonia> wolfman2323: join #compiz-fusion
[16:43] <wolfman2323> brb...
[16:43] <naderman> and I'm not asking anyone else to use this, I'm just trying to figure out how to boot
[16:43] <wolfman2323> thanks
[16:43] <picard_pwns_kirk> wolfman2323: right click on the desktop, choose "change background" and click the effects tab
[16:43] <yotux> Is the world not ready for 64bit oses yet seems there are allot of fall back going 64bit
[16:43] <ikonia> naderman: there are no initfs modules for it
[16:44] <amenado> yotux am not, never had a 64bit cpu yet.. :)
[16:44] <ikonia> naderman: plus grub trys to install the virtual disk by default rather than the physical boot sector of either disk
[16:44] <fiXXXerMet> I am running a game in full screen mode in my second workspace.  How can I change to the first workspace without exiting the game?  I can do this with fluxbox with a hotkey.
[16:44] <yotux> I installed 64bit ubuntu and it seems that most of the stuff I use is in 32bit
[16:44] <naderman> ikonia: not sure I understand what you're telling me?
[16:45] <amenado> yotux same in windows, not many 64bit stuff out there yet..32 bits is fully usable still
[16:45] <keoni> has anyone else experienced their sound just stop working with 7.10
[16:45] <wil> I need to edit some fla templates... I looked in add remove but saw no flash editing programs, does anyone know of any?
[16:45] <Arelis> Hi all. just now, something happened that made me unable to login, unable to start a shell, unable to open a terminal window (it opens, but it hangs and gives me an empty prompt..). I know one thing: i executed this command: wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - <-- Canceled it, and then.. boom. System unresponsive. <-- if THAT is a dangerous action.. So really, is there something wrong with my har
[16:45] <ikonia> naderman: 1.) I'm not aware (doesn't mean doesn't exist) of any initfs modules to make fake raid volumes visable to grub (for menu.lst for example) 2.) grub will try to intall the boot loader onto the virtual disk of a+b rather than the physical disk of a or b
[16:45] <Arelis> dware? or is Ubuntu SUPPOSED to behave this way? (Everything you do, boom, crash.)
[16:46] <kasra> fiXXXerMet: try ctrl+alt+directions
[16:46] <ikonia> Arelis: sounds like hardware issues
[16:46] <yotux> Arelis:  the only place that I have ever seen crashes where in alpha release
[16:46] <fiXXXerMet> kasra: That doesn't work (it does now, but not when the game is running)
[16:46] <naderman> ikonia: I already booted from a fakeraid volume a few minutes ago
[16:47] <naderman> so it works
[16:47] <Arelis> yotux, ikonia: Really? so it wasn't my fault?
[16:47] <ikonia> naderman: ooh really, thats interesting how did you get grub to use the fake raid partition for /boot/menu.lst
[16:47] <asdrubal> ikonia, it's true. Better to use any other app..Amarok is a bloated beast too. I reccomend against it as well
[16:47] <ikonia> Arelis: most probably as thats a generic crash
[16:47] <asdrubal> When is 8.04 ubuntu scheduled for release?
[16:47] <yotux> Arelis: are you running an alpha release?  8.10 i think
[16:47] <ikonia> asdrubal: what ?
[16:47] <naderman> ikonia: see the fakeraid howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[16:47] <ikonia> asdrubal: 04 08
[16:47] <vallhalla81> fiXXXerMet what game are you running
[16:47] <ikonia> asdrubal: it's in the name
[16:47] <ikonia> naderman: I've read through that before
[16:48] <Arelis> yotux, ikonia: Because in that case: http://paste.ubuntu.com/4411/ <-- A whole document containing ALL the info you need on my PC.
[16:48] <naderman> ikonia: well it has the edits in there?
[16:48] <amenado> naderman did adding  noapic on grub during fix or not at all?
[16:48] <ikonia> naderman: I'll re-read
[16:48] <Arelis> yotux, ikonia: Please, help me via the e-mail address because you guys may leave IRC.
[16:48] <ikonia> amenado: why noapic for fake read
[16:48] <ikonia> Arelis: help you do what ?
[16:48] <naderman> ikonia: unrelated
[16:48] <ikonia> Arelis: I'm not mailing you
[16:48] <zolberg> hi all
[16:48] <naderman> I just need that too
[16:48] <asdrubal> ikonia, , oh doh
[16:48] <ikonia> naderman: thank you
[16:49] <amenado> ikonia->  he was saying that was a missing piece, and i suggested if adding it during boot fixed it
[16:49] <yotux> Arelis:  Compiz is still alpha I think
[16:49] <Arelis> ikonia, Help me find out the cause of those crashes. Many times people've been telling me it was my fault. And many times it was. But sometimes i experience crashes like these.
[16:49] <Arelis> yotux, not running compiz.
[16:49] <ikonia> amenado: so you just picked a random kernel parameter
[16:49] <naderman> amenado: well when I tried to add noapic I used /dev/sda because dmraid didn't add the mappings
[16:49] <naderman> turns out that was a stupid idea, as now it doesn't work at all anymore
[16:49] <[M]orpheus> how do I burn Blind write files? that *.b00, *.b6i
[16:49] <amenado> ikonia->  that was his telling me, noapic  he forgot to add
[16:49] <naderman> and I'm not really familiar with grub
[16:50] <naderman> so I haven't figured out yet how to boot with noapic from that console
[16:50] <zolberg> can anyone help me with iconv?)
[16:50] <yotux> Arelis:  I do not have any visual effects running on my pc and things seem to work better for me.
[16:50] <amenado> naderman-> my question is more of taking notes..curiousity..
[16:50] <naderman> ikonia: btw. you find the relevant bit for grub under "Set Up the Bootloader for RAID"
[16:50] <kasra> [M]orpheus: google burn b.00
[16:51] <yotux> Arelis: That could solve some the gnome and compiz issue you stated in your paste bin
[16:51] <naderman> if you haven't found it
[16:51] <Arelis> yotux, Compiz is disabled.
[16:51] <Xsss4hell> It seems as if I need to edit the UDEV-style hotplug map for libmtp in /etc/udev/libmtp.rules
[16:51] <ikonia> naderman: just read-reading ht elot
[16:51] <roddersg> anyone here running 6.06-2 server with samba <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[16:51] <Arelis> yotux, and it has long been
[16:51] <shiwaraya> Hello. When i activate double monitor, my desktop get streched to an area bigger thean the screen. How can i solve this please?
[16:51] <Xsss4hell> This would help everybody owning a Meizu Player!
[16:51] <astro76> Arelis: using Gutsy?
[16:51] <Arelis> astro76, yes.
[16:52] <astro76> Arelis: proprietary 3d drivers?
[16:52] <amenado> shiwaraya-> out of curiosity too, how do you even activate dual monitor? which app you have to enable or run?
[16:52] <wousser> is ubuntu.com down?
[16:53] <Arelis> astro76, yes. fglrx
[16:53] <shiwaraya> amenado: out of the box, ubuntu 7.10 can manage two monitors in SYSTEM/ADMINISTRATION/Screen and graphics
[16:54] <stefano_> highly depends on your graphics card whether it'll work or not though
[16:54] <naderman> amenado: ok, noapic from console fixed that problem at least, but now it can't find the root filesystem anymore as I messed that up by using /dev/sda for the grub update
[16:54] <astro76> Arelis: I would run without that for awhile and see if you still crash
[16:54] <stefano_> if i run the latest update (flashplugin-nonfree) my flashplayer doesnt work anymore and i have to do a manual install
[16:54] <Arelis> astro76, without fglrx?
[16:54] <shiwaraya> The problem activating the second screen is that my desktop gets bigger than the screen so i have to scroll. Anyone can solve this issue?
[16:54] <astro76> Arelis: yes
[16:55] <shiwaraya> How can i fit my desktop size to my screen size?
[16:55] <Arelis> astro76, i doubt it, as when i DIDN'T have fglrx, i had even MORE random crashes.
[16:55] <speedcore> I got 2 diffrent Live CDs one is AMD 64 and the other in the standard... The thing is I have no text on them so I can't tell which one is which one? is there anyway to check..  I'm on Livecd right now
[16:57] <amenado> naderman its good to know that info...
[16:57] <picard_pwns_kirk> speedcore: guess
[16:57] <amenado> shiwaraya  your video card has to have dual output too I assume?
[16:57] <paul__> jul456
[16:57] <esc> hey, anyone have experiance with the fglrx radeon xgl and compiz combo
[16:57] <naderman> amenado: the noapic wasn't related to the fakeraid though, I just needed that for my core 2 quad
[16:58] <amenado> naderman ahh, those info you provide is good for my notes..i dont know what noapic is used for really
[16:58] <esc> !fglrx
[16:58] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[16:58] <Flare183> How can i calculate the number of sectors, heads, and cylinders when I only have the size of the harddrive
[16:58] <shiwaraya> amenado: yes i have a nvidia gforce4 with dual output, one digital and one analog
[16:59] <Peeco> Would installing ubuntu next to windows result in the error "Windows XP cannot find any hard disks" when trying to do a fresh XP install? Thanks
[16:59] <bullgard4> [Nautilus] English help wanted. Right-click on a filename opens a shortcut menu. What is the exact English name of the sixth item in it? Is it 'Make a Link' or how?
[16:59] <shiwaraya> And dual monitor is working but with that bigger desktop that i have to scroll
[16:59] <Xsss4hell> no help
[16:59] <Xsss4hell> :(
[16:59] <speedcore> is this the 64bit kernel?  Linux ubuntu 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[16:59] <RB2> I'm having a memory lapse. What's the command to view the current open network connections?
[16:59] <amenado> shiwaraya thats good info to know, i had a ati 9250, but my mobo dont support agp 8x so, am just taking notes on what people do
[17:00] <erawfish> Peeco: no. what is your harddisk controller?
[17:00] <astro76> speedcore: no, 32bit
[17:00] <amenado> RB2  lsof -i
[17:00] <erawfish> RB2: netstat -anp
[17:00] <speedcore> astro: what told you that?
[17:00] <astro76> speedcore: i686
[17:00] <RB2> thanks!
[17:00] <speedcore> astro76: ok and the 64bit is?
[17:00] <astro76> speedcore: can't remember either x86_64 or amd64
[17:00] <posr>  hi i got problem :( this happens today when i install slackware 12 when i install nvidia drivers he can't see my video card then i set up windows xp and when i install drivers i don't see desktop but without drivers i see help

[17:01] <erawfish> Peeco: in ubuntu: lspci
[17:02] <amenado> shiwaraya-> you have my envy :(  my mobo does not even allow me to boot once i plugged this video card in..so i must remove it
[17:02] <erawfish> Peeco: but we don't support windows here
[17:02] <posr> erawfish i don't know where to ask?
[17:02] <freak_lick> hi
[17:02] <erawfish> posr: NOT here
[17:02] <Lettuc3> does linux have the need for defragmenting, if so, is there a utility for it?
[17:02] <astro76> posr: #slackware or ##windows would be a good start
[17:02] <erawfish> Lettuc3: it doesn't
[17:02] <silverblade> Lettuc3: dont think so and dont think so
[17:02] <Peeco> erawfish: indeed
[17:02] <freak_lick> can some1 help me with enabling my SD card reader on my toshiba Tecra A8??
[17:02] <erawfish> silverblade: 2nd answer is wrong btw
[17:03] <Lettuc3> erawfish silverblade i've noticed fsck mention fragmented files, doesn't this impact on performance?
[17:03] <posr> astro76 thanks
[17:03] <silverblade> erawfish: damn.
[17:03] <erawfish> Lettuc3: no
[17:03] <freak_lick> It worked in PCLOS out of box
