[19:15] <ChaosTheory_> I want to get the "showmouse" plugin in Compiz but I don't see it in the preferences?
[19:15] <unop__> lastelement0, was cedega installed as an ubuntu package?

[19:16] <ChaosTheory_> Also, I don't have a 3D windows plugin.

[19:18] <bastid_raZor> unop__;  lastelement0 has lost his mind.. cedega is not open source software. he had to of installed it with a script or from source
[19:18] <nouMenon> I tried opening a folder a little while ago and my CPU started saying it was 100% in use. This lasted for about 5 minutes and then I manually shut down my computer because the folder still wasn't opening and the restart button wouldn't work either. When it booted back up, it got to the loading screen and finished the loading bar, then a black screen with a cursor in the top left corner appeared and nothing happened. The cursor jus
[19:18] <nouMenon> t kept blinking and Ubuntu wouldn't load the password screen. I tried restarting three more times. The first two had the same problem, then this last time Ubuntu loaded for some reason. I'm afraid it may happen again, so if anyone knows how to bypass that screen or fix the problem I would really appreciate it.
[19:18] <adrock358> bastid_raZor  i want to pull out info from it, not just read it.  i can read it.  can't mount it though.

[19:24] <TWP-SirStaal> Unop__: is there a good site to read about some basic commands?

[19:25] <Wi9li4m> i've read something about cp -a for backup...not sure though
[19:26] <unop__> samue1, you'll need to specify the source and destination paritions correctly there
[19:26] <Nrj> Will there be any bcm43xx support in the 8.04?
[19:26] <c0ldfusion> cp -a (or maybe A) does an archive

[19:30] <Ssam`> whats ubuntu's .deb installation manager called?

[19:30] <adamt> is there some good alternatives to the gnome-panel? i'm kinda annoyed with it.
[19:30] <unop__> x0x, what are you trying to do?
[19:30] <expat> thx genii :)
[19:30] <cami-chan> Hello everyone :)
[19:31] <expat> Having issues with gnome-panel after latest update on Hardy Heron
[19:31] <x0x> unop__ i am trying to add a domain to my server.
[19:31] <expat> it keeps crashing :(
[19:31] <Ssam`> unop__: is graphical installer right?
[19:31] <expat> anyone else have this issue? know of a work-around?
[19:31] <unop__> x0x, ok, and what have you done so far?
[19:31] <|Dede|> How can you unban an IP/host that Fail2Ban has banned?
[19:31] <bastid_raZor> adrock358; have you tried running the commands that suggests in windows? chkdsk /f ?
[19:31] <cami-chan> Can anyone help with the ability to write to my sda6 drive, when I installed Ubuntu 7,10 today I created the partition that I installed Ubuntu on and another partition formatted with EXT3
[19:32] <unop__> Ssam`, synaptic is the GUI frontend to apt
[19:32] <chazco> Hi... anyone know how to delete a horizontal line created by typing "---" in OO writer? I can do it on Windows, but not on Ubuntu
[19:32] <x0x> unop__ http://www.ubuntugeek.com/dns-server-setup-using-bind-in-ubuntu.html << THIS
[19:32] <genii> expat: Since you're on 8.04 may want to ask in #ubuntu+1
[19:32] <x0x> ergh
[19:32] <expat> okay
[19:32] <expat> thx
[19:32] <Exteris> cami-chan, sudo chmod -R 777 /media/[drive]
[19:32] <unop__> x0x, right, so whats the problem then?
[19:32] <cami-chan> Exteris: Thanks a lot :)
[19:33] <Ssam`> yea when u double click a .deb file then click install.....thats a synaptic?
[19:33] <x0x> unop__ i cant add domain ;s domain giving me error... like unknown dns or something
[19:33] <docmur> Okay so I was playing a rather old game for the last few days in Cedega and last night, and it worked smooth and fine.  Okay so today I just tired to load it up and it's legging horribly like to the point of no use to me.  I haven't changed any settings any clue on what could be happening
[19:33] <unop__> Exteris, cami-chan -- it's better to do.  sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /media/sdXX
[19:34] <cami-chan> unop_: Thanks but I did the other one :) Will remember though :)
[19:34] <Exteris> unop__, that's not friendly for multiple users
[19:34] <unop__> Exteris, so you would rather open it right up for the world to have complete access?
[19:34] <genii> Ssam`: No, that is usually gdebi which installs a deb file when you click on it. Synaptic is the package manager. It will go out and grab the deb file from an ubuntu repository and install it.
[19:35] <adrock358> bastid_raZor i can't get in windows
[19:35] <Exteris> unop__, depends on the goal, and of course users can create their own limited-acces folders
[19:35] <Ssam`> you mean gkdebconf?
[19:35] <unop__> x0x, ok, you can't be vague like that, it doesn't help me or you .. what command and errors exactly  .. use the pastebin to show us stuff if you have to
[19:36] <lordleemo> Ssam`: gdebi-gtk or gdebi package installer  gdebconf
[19:36] <Ssam`> ahh thanks man
[19:36] <x0x> unop__, ok
[19:36] <x0x> !pastebin
[19:36] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined 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 channel topic)
[19:36] <Ssam`> and whats the adminsitration toolds called...the one which has graphical users and group management
[19:36] <unop__> Exteris, it's _safer_ if the user owns it, and gives other users their own limited-access folders, but chmod 777 .. hmm, i wouldnt suggest that
[19:37] <poni> harlo
[19:37] <Nrj> is ndiswrapper better than madwifi?
[19:38] <Exteris> unop__, i mean, since the drive is empty ( he said he'd just created it), giving all users acces wont be much of a problem, but yeah, you got a point there
[19:38] <poni> uhm... I don't know if I could ask my question here, but I've got a problem with activating CompizFusion in 7.10, I lose my titlebars etc and only get em back when running metacity --replace. If I activate "Custom" in the Visual Effects tab, it puts itself back on Normal after closing. Window decorations is on in CCSM
[19:39] <michalski> hello, I was just editing my sshd_config file and was wondering what a few options were for---> useprivelegeseperation:(yes/no) ---> Strictmode:(yes/no) ---> challengeresponseauthentication:(Yes/No)
[19:39] <Scunizi> poni, you might ask in #ubuntu-effects.. they have compiz brain power there.
[19:39] <bastid_raZor> adrock358; i'm not sure what else you can do.. if Ubuntu is telling you to run a check on the disk from windows.. that sounds like the best course of action
[19:39] <Exteris> poni, perhaps you have a problem with emerald, try starting that one too
[19:39] <poni> Scunizi: Thank you :)
[19:39] <Scunizi> poni, np
[19:39] <unop__> michalski, read the sshd_config manpage, it describes all those directives
[19:39] <michalski> ok , thank you
[19:40] <bastid_raZor> poni; or #compiz-fusion
[19:40] <Scunizi> bastid_raZor, that ends up being the same channel I think..
[19:40] <bastid_raZor> Scunizi; ahh. did not know that.
[19:40] <linkinxp> guys hello what tool can i use for making Iso from Cd/dvds?
[19:40] <Scunizi> bastid_raZor, nice to keep the ubuntu name as a referance
[19:41] <michalski> unop__: how?
[19:41] <Scunizi> linkinxp, dvd videos use k9copy.. otherwise  k3b
[19:41] <pingu_> anyone else use thunderbird ?
[19:41] <unop__> michalski, man sshd_config ?
[19:42] <linkinxp> Scunizi,  data cd/dvds can i use k3b? im in gnome
[19:42] <stefg> !k3b
[19:42] <ubotu> k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto

[19:42] <pingu_> because i need to know who to make my yahoo account accesible through thunderbird
[19:42] <Scunizi> linkinxp, sure.. it'll run fine.. if you want to stick with gnome you can right click the CD and say make iso..

[19:45] <mariusst> hi a friend of mine is in ubuntu now and he wants to set up the grub boot manager so that he can choose between windows and ubuntu. Isnt there a preference thing for that in system->administration?
[19:45] <HazyHawk> np scunizi
[19:45] <linkinxp> Scunizi,  Bilingual :P
[19:45] <HazyHawk> :)
[19:45] <Khisanth> pingu_: for yahoo you need to have a Yahoo! Mail Plus account
[19:46] <c0ldfusion> mariusst, I usually change boot order by editing /boot/grub/menu.list
[19:46] <pingu_> Khisanth: ok i have yahoo how do you get a Yahoo! Mail Plus account have a normal one
[19:46] <Scunizi> pingu_, for gmail.. see the gmail help page for the correct ports.. some of the gnome & kde PIMs don't configure it correctly..
[19:46] <mariusst> he probably wants the menu on boot
[19:46] <Khisanth> pingu_: you have to pay Y! :)
[19:46] <pingu_> Scunizi: i have yahoo i was just throwing stuff out there
[19:46] <c0ldfusion> mariusst, the menu should display by default
[19:47] <^NighT^WalkeR^> anyone know how to install the default wifi driver on ubuntu?
[19:47] <Scunizi> pingu_, Yahoo plus is a paid account.
[19:47] <Khisanth> $19.99/year
[19:47] <pingu_> Khisanth: that is dumb!
[19:47] <linkinxp> indeed
[19:47] <linkinxp> gmail its better than yahoo
[19:47] <Scunizi> ^NighT^WalkeR^, the default driver is ... default.. it's already installed.
[19:47] <mariusst> he installed windows after ubuntu
[19:47] <komputes> Every time I log in, my NumLk is on, does anyone know how to reset the numlk to off after the login (it does not affect the login screen)
[19:47] <pingu_> Scunizi: do you have to pay for gmail
[19:47] <Scunizi> pingu_, no
[19:47] <mariusst> would it be enough to run grub?
[19:47] <^NighT^WalkeR^> Scunizi: well what if i fucked something up?
[19:48] <linkinxp> mariusst,  he need to edit the boot file im not sure where it is
[19:48] <pingu_> Scunizi: alright where do i sign up
[19:48] <michalski> unop__: didnt say much about ChallengeResponseAuthentication, what is it?
[19:48] <Scunizi> pingu_, gmail.com
[19:48] <mariusst> theres no automated way to do this?
[19:48] <pingu_> i HATE Yahoo
[19:48] <pingu_> Scunizi: thanks
[19:48] <linkinxp> mariusst,  i dk :(
[19:48] <c0ldfusion> mariusst, automated way to do what
[19:48] <linkinxp> big update today :D i like updates
[19:48] <Scunizi> ^NighT^WalkeR^, that's a different issue.... careful with the language .. this is a family channel.. lots of young ones log in for help as well as us old geizers
[19:48] <mariusst> make it look for windows and add it.  	     All authentication styles from login.conf(5) are supported.  The 	     default is ``yes''.
[19:52] <Scunizi> michalski, I'm guessing .but 2 things come to mind.. when trying to log on the system asks for a password/key or maybe it uses cascading port authentication.. that means you start connecting on one port once, then again on another(once) then the last.. the system see's you try and if you're trying in the right order and right ports it lets you in.

[19:52] <c0ldfusion> x0x, are you trying to add a dns server to your system to resolve host names?
[19:52] <michalski> pokerfacepenguin: i knew that, I just dont know what it does
[19:52] <x0x> c0ldfusion yes
[19:53] <c0ldfusion> x0x, then add the server to /etc/resolv.conf
[19:53] <michalski> Scunizi: hmmm....
[19:53] <x0x> c0ldfusion well i am trying to add my domain name to my system.
[19:53] <Scunizi> michalski, things that make you go .. hmmmmmm :)
[19:54] <c0ldfusion> x0x, not sure but try man hostname
[19:55] <cder> whats the advantage of having a static ip address over dhcp?
[19:55] <TheBills> use ubuntu for servers?
[19:55] <Scunizi> cder, if you are running a server it's easier to always locate it.
[19:56] <cder> Scunizi; what if its say inside a vizulization like vmware
[19:56] <cder> the os
[19:57] <Rafael> hi
[19:57] <Jester009> I am having issues with my Linksys WUSB54G wireless USB adapter. The computer can see wirless networks but it will not connect to mine.
[19:57] <rwycuff> x0x:are you trying to create DNS on your computer or add existing one to it
[19:57] <Scunizi> cder, same.. also depends on how you've setup vmware.. as bridged or "shared" from the host machine.. my win2kpro vm has it's own IP but done via dhcp from my router..
[19:57] <joel> rwycuff: what kind of security do you have on it?
[19:57] <joel> WEP, WPA or none?
[19:58] <Rafael> can you tell me if it is posible to place 4 monitors doing different task on ubuntu and what version will do a better job on this?
[19:58] <Rafael> how hard is it?
[19:58] <joel> Rafael: what kind of graphics card?
[19:58] <rwycuff> joel:wrong person to ask that wasnt me
[19:58] <cder> Scuizi mine is NAT because i have a cable moden
[19:58] <Rafael> i could buy any if necesary
[19:58] <joel> get an nvidia card, then get Hardy (or Gutsy for a bit more stability) do sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[19:58] <joel> fairly easy from there
[19:59] <Jester009> I am having issues with my Linksys WUSB54G wireless USB adapter. The computer can see wirless networks but it will not connect to mine.
[19:59] <Scunizi> cder.. I have a cable modem too. but also a router between it and my machines..
[19:59] <joel> Jester: type of security on your network?
[19:59] <Rafael> will ubuntu support 4 video card? or i only need one?
[19:59] <Jester009> only mac address filter
[19:59] <Kurko> no passwords?
[19:59] <joel> you should put some time into looking at them, mine can support them I believe (someone yesterday got 3 up with no problem)
[19:59] <joel> Jester: your network isn't encrypted at all?
[20:00] <Jester009> joel: nope
[20:00] <cder> Scunizi ok thats good i do not have a router but can set a static ip within vmware on ubuntu guest host is xp
[20:00] <Scunizi> Rafael, it can be done.. typically needing 2 video cards each supporting 2 monitors.. Ubuntu now uses xrandr..you might need to hand configure xorg.conf.. if you're new at this that means lots of reading and experimentation.
[20:00] <joel> hmm that's interesting because usually there isn't a problem with unencrypted
[20:00] <fluteflute> Jester009: you can try this script http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=516649 (serialmonkey is probably better but harder)
[20:00] <joel> Scunizi: nvidia-settings is fairly automated, I used to use it a bit
[20:00] <Scunizi> cder, you're fine if running dhcp
[20:00] <Scunizi> joel.. but for 4 monitors and 2 vid cards.?
[20:00] <gnomp> miten saan openofficessa hyperlinkityksen pois teksistä?
[20:01] <joel> Scunizi: true ;) never done that but maybe?
[20:01] <Jester009> fluteflute: the wirless adapter works im just not able to connect to my network.
[20:01] <Kurko> olisko #ubuntu-fi mitään?
[20:01] <joel> I see anything more than two monitors as a waste so I can't give much detail on it
[20:01] <TheBills> ndiswrapper
[20:01] <joel> Jester: what are you using native linux drivers?
[20:01] <fluteflute> Jester009: yes, that is a common problem i believe - that script should work
[20:02] <cder> Scunizi : static inside ubuntu works also
[20:02] <gnomp> whoops sry wrong channel
[20:02] <Scunizi> joel, what I'd like to do is take a large tv/monitor (42") and split the screen so it acts like 2 monitors.
[20:02] <Jester009> fluteflute: ill try it
[20:02] <meglaw> why can nobody awnser me. :(
[20:02] <Rafael> and which version of ubuntu will do a better job on this?
[20:02] <Scunizi> cder, sure.. you just have to manually enter the ip and dns info.
[20:02] <joel> Scunizi: that would be interesting, I just have my laptop and have a 22" hd monitor connected to it
[20:02] <joel> works perfectly for me
[20:02] <Scunizi> Rafael, probably both gnome and kde for support
[20:03] <joel> I know some people go all out with monitors but I just see it as wasteful (personal taste I suppose)
[20:03] <Rafael> this is kind of a school project thats what i need it
[20:03] <Scunizi> joel, once you have 2 monitors up and running, and you're using the machine for production.. it's hard to go back to one.
[20:03] <joel> I agree, 2I can understand, 3+ seems a bit too much
[20:04] <Jester009> fluteflute: whats the difference between the fesity and gutsy?
[20:04] <joel> my boss uses 3, just seems wasteful
[20:04] <cder> Scunizi i wonder how i would go about shh into ubuntu on vmware?
[20:04] <joel> it's "handy" sometimes but that doesn't outweigh the negatives for me (personally)
[20:04] <Scunizi> joel, really just depends on what there're used for.. stock tracking on one.. wp on another .. game on third..:)
[20:04] <kantlivelon1> anyone know why when i start X my mouse event disappears?
[20:04] <joel> yeah like I said, handy but wasteful
[20:04] <Scunizi> cder, from where.. the windows side?
[20:05] <fluteflute> Jester009: its the version of ubuntu you are running. you can find out which you are running by going System->About Ubuntu
[20:05] <Jester009> ah ok thanks
[20:05] <joel> kant: what version of Ubuntu, did this happen since the beginning?
[20:05] <Rafael> but can you make them work as if they where different computers?
[20:05] <Scunizi> Rafael, yes you can have different things on each one..
[20:06] <kantlivelon1> joel: yeah.. 7.10
[20:06] <joel> does it happen with running live ?
[20:06] <kantlivelon1> joel: i can cat it (event3) but once i start X it disappears
[20:06] <kantlivelon1> joel: yeah
[20:06] <TheBills> you only need one OS
[20:06] <cder> Scunizi yes from windows xp
[20:07] <joel> hmm that's in interesting problem.....have you tried the forums (I've never seen or heard about this kind of an issue
[20:07] <kantlivelon1> joel: cant find nething... it works fine in fedora
[20:07] <Joray> Hello, I am trying to get my wireless card to work... I am running ubuntu 7.10 on a Inspiron 710m
[20:07] <TheBills> get a netgear wg111v2
[20:08] <pingu_> anyone know how to delete a yahoo account
[20:08] <joel> Joray: what kind of wireless card?
[20:08] <TheBills> netgear wg111v2
[20:08] <TheBills> usb
[20:08] <joel> pingu_: why not just ignore it and never look back ;)
[20:08] <Scunizi> cder, brb
[20:08] <Joray> not sure joel
[20:08] <cder> Silhouet: were you in vmware some days ago
[20:09] <pingu_> joel: ya i thought about that...
[20:09] <cder> Scunizi: brb?
[20:09] <m3dvt> hi all
[20:09] <joel> anyone having problems with the Firefox beta release?
[20:09] <m3dvt> yes
[20:09] <m3dvt> it dont work lol
[20:09] <Redian> Hey, I've got a friend who tried to install ubuntu and the install fails at 55%. She gets some weird error message, this is the second CD I gave her, and now when she turns on her computer she just gets a screen with a blinking white cursor after the BIOS loads. Any idea what could be the problem or how to fix it? She can't do anything with her computer right now
[20:09] <joel> all right, thought it might just be me, the windows decorations go away sometimes, and it causes my screen to flicker once an awhile
[20:10] <Scunizi> cder .. be right back
[20:10] <joel> Redian: try alternative install
[20:10] <cder> Scunizi; ok
[20:10] <Redian> joel: meaning...?
[20:10] <joel> there is an Ubuntu alternative cd
[20:10] <Joray> how do I find out what kind of wireless card I have?
[20:10] <TheBills> lsusb
[20:10] <joel> Joray: google your computer and type "specs" or something like that
[20:10] <joel> or do that ;)
[20:11] <m3dvt> any one using mint?
[20:11] <Scunizi> cder, ok.. do you want to do this ssh as an experiment or do you just want access to files for transfer back and forth?
[20:11] <Redian> joel: I can't get that CD to her until tomorrow...things got messed up last night so I burnt her another, and I don't wanna make her wait until tomorrow, is there anything else that we could try?
[20:11] <Scunizi> cder, or is this to get to it from outside you house from another machine.
[20:12] <joel> with that kind of an issue...unlikely
[20:12] <m3dvt> you could take the disk round and install tonight lol
[20:12] <turdega> !mint
[20:12] <ubotu> The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (support in #linuxmint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate
[20:13] <joel> brb, firefox is acting up and I need to log out to get it to work again
[20:13] <cder> Scunizi: both
[20:14] <Soleone> can anyone tell me where i can install a new font i've downloaded?
[20:15] <m3dvt_> can you use ham software in ubuntu ?
[20:15] <StevenX> hello all. I would like to know the feasability of running MS Office 2008 in Ubuntu.
[20:15] <Redian> The thing that struck me as odd is that last nights CD crashed at 22%, and todays crashes as 55%. Anything particular about that, or just made 2 bad CDs?
[20:15] <Scunizi> cder, well from the windows side to the ubuntu side you can just setup shared directories and get to them with "Network Manager".. to ssh from a windows box to ubuntu, the windows box has to use a program called Putty.. there's lots of tutorials out there as well as on ubuntuforums.org.. I couldn't really give you a blow by blow how to..
[20:15] <Redian> StevenX: Have you tried using Wine-doors?
[20:15] <fluteflute> Soleone: place it in the folder: /home/usernamehere/.fonts/
[20:15] <osimoveit> is it possible to log into the server version of ubuntu using xming, or do I need a windowmanager installed to do that?
[20:16]  * nickrud wonders why people quit one minute after asking a question
[20:16] <x0x> http://pastebin.com/d244c43ca << does it look ok to you guys?
[20:16] <Redian> nickrud: to annoy you of course.
[20:16]  * Scunizi thinks it's because of a bad internet connection..
[20:16] <genii> osimoveit: You need some window manager backend available before something like xming or vnc will be able to connect to a remote X server
[20:16] <Scunizi> osimoveit, what is xming?
[20:17] <cder> Scunizi; yes i know putty
[20:17]  * nickrud thinks Scunizi is a very nice person ;[
[20:17] <m3dvt_> can you use ham radio software in ubuntu ? please ?
[20:17] <StevenX> Redian: No. I will look into it. Any particular link you have in mind?
[20:17] <osimoveit> xming runs on windows and lets me use gui linux
[20:17] <osimoveit> is ubuntu more lightweight than kubuntu?
[20:17] <Scunizi> m3dvt_, depends on the software .. there's lots of stuff listed in synaptic package manager for logging, satellite tracking etc..
[20:17] <Redian> StevenX: http://www.wine-doors.org/wordpress/ is still in beta, but some people have success with it
[20:17] <genii> Scunizi: Xming is a small X server for windows which allows you to run X applications on it from a remote machine
[20:18] <Redian> StevenX: I really messed up a bunch of my wine files to start out with, so I haven't had much luck XD
[20:18] <nickwebcoukok> quickie - i have an ipod that i couldnt write to when it automounted, so I changed the automount options (by right clicking it on the desktop), and now i cant get it to automount at all. how can i reset the options i set?
[20:18] <m3dvt_> i need to run psk sstv and digital sstv does this help and fax ?
[20:18] <osimoveit> so I need ubuntu or kubuntu to do that?
[20:18] <StevenX> Redian: hehe, sorry to hear that. thanks for the info.
[20:19] <joel> ok I'm officially pissed about my fstab, it took a week but I'm there
[20:19] <Scunizi> genii, osimoveit cool.. so osimoveit you gotta have an x environment on the server to do that, it sounds like.
[20:19] <m3dvt_> by the way me sister inlaw had a baby boy tonight at 6.14 me happy
[20:19] <joel> congrats ;)
[20:19] <Scunizi> osimoveit, or xubuntu.. xfce4.. there's probably another way.. cause x programs don't need gnome, kde, xfce.. I believe..
[20:19] <aguitel> how i know my gdm version?
[20:19] <erUSUL> m3dvt_: congrats XD
[20:19] <Redian> joel: Do you think that it stopped at 22% last night and 55% tonight might provide some clues?
[20:19] <m3dvt_> thanks
[20:19] <Redian> m3dvt_: congratz!
[20:20] <joel> Redian: sounds like you got unlucky and have two bad discs
[20:20] <joel> can she/he run live distro from it?
[20:20] <StevenX> Redian: will CodeWeavers do the trick?
[20:20] <Redian> Yeah, no probs there
[20:20] <cder> Scunizi: i was able to get xen working inside vmware wow
[20:20] <joel> Redian: have her/him put it in and run a disc check from the menu
[20:20] <m3dvt_> thanks redian and erusul
[20:20] <Scunizi> cder, that's different
[20:20] <osimoveit> I have an old laptop that will use it with only 256MB. What is the lightest version: ubuntu or kubuntu?
[20:20] <joel> xubuntu
[20:21] <Scunizi> Redian, make sure you burn at a slow speed
[20:21] <cder> Scunizi: diffrent
[20:21] <Redian> I dropped it to 14X
[20:21] <Scunizi> osimoveit, xubuntu
[20:21] <samue1> unop__, now I copied my dd (worked well, thqnk you). now, how can I activate this version of linux?
[20:21] <aguitel> osimoveit: xubuntu
[20:21] <m3dvt_> is there a way to run ubuntu on a dossier lt laptop ?
[20:21] <Scunizi> Redian, I burn at 4x
[20:21] <m3dvt_> it wont go on
[20:21] <Redian> StevenX: It should, I haven't purchased any software for that purpose though
[20:21] <unop__> samue1, activate?
[20:22] <Scunizi> m3dvt, what is a dossier lt laptop?
[20:22] <joel> you guys all see the results from the hackathon challenge (Mac Leopard, Vista, Gutsy)?
[20:22] <m3dvt_> lol
[20:22] <samue1> yeah, I copied a version of linux, now I have two time linux
[20:22] <m3dvt_>  a dossier lt laptop lol
[20:22] <samue1> how to actiavte the linux on the second HDD?
[20:22] <Redian> joel: Definitely didn't see the results, what were they
[20:22] <Scunizi> m3dvt, xubuntu  it's light weight.
[20:22] <m3dvt_> ok
[20:22] <Redian> joel: and also, wheres the disc check you're talking about?
[20:22] <joel> once the vulnerabilities were found: mac got hacked in 2 minutes, Vista a few hours, Gutsy....time expired with 0 progress
[20:22] <unop__> samue1, was your root filesystem (/) on that device?
[20:23] <Scunizi> m3dvt_, never heard of dossier.. is that a brand name.? Europe?
[20:23] <Redian> ...Wow it is impossible to follow conversations in a room with 1310 people..
[20:23] <joel> Redian: there is an option in the live cd that says "check disc integrity" or something like that
[20:23] <Redian> joel: I can't wait to tell everyone who's doubted linux about that.
[20:23] <genii> osimoveit: for *buntu lightest stock dist is xubuntu. But if all you want is some basic window manager just so you can install X apps which will be run remotely on Xming, you only need some simplistic thing like aewm or so and not any metapackage
[20:23] <Scunizi> Redian, you have to use nicks so they highlight.
[20:23] <m3dvt_> its just a dossier i got it from a friend dossier make it thats all i know
[20:23] <samue1> unop_ : yes, my root filesystem was on the partition I copied
[20:24] <Redian> Scunizi: I do, but there's so much general conversation also
[20:24] <anteaya> I think i made a syntax error while adding a repo to synaptic.  It has closed and won't let me back in to edit the information.  Where is the file that I can edit with the terminal?
[20:24] <joel> here is the article (or one of many) http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2008/03/ubuntu-beats-osx-and-vista-in-pwn-2-own.html
[20:24] <joel> ant: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[20:24] <Scunizi> Redian, ya can't read it all without going buggy.
[20:24] <unop__> samue1, what do you intend to do with the original disk? leave it in place?
[20:24] <m3dvt_> ok thanks for help all bye for now
[20:25] <joel> take it easy
[20:25] <anteaya> joel: thank you
[20:25] <Scunizi> m3dvt_, the company name is Viglen.. looks like it comes out of Brittan
[20:25] <StevenX> Redian: Is wine-doors different from wine?
[20:25] <x0x> unop__ http://pastebin.com/d244c43ca
[20:25] <samue1> unop_: my first HDD will die soon... I will remove it then
[20:26] <joel> anyone know anything about fstab...I'm getting such an annoying problem (several)
[20:26] <chri3> Just installed GG on a laptop - getting no sound.  Can anyone help?
[20:26] <joel> chri3: what laptop?
[20:26] <Redian> StevenX: Wine-doors is a wine manager, it has some things that make wine a little easier to use.
[20:26] <linkinxp> guys in blender when i open it i can see some parts of my desktop like the watch it flickers
[20:26] <chri3> joel: an acer something-or-other
[20:26] <Scunizi> m3dvt_,so you're in northants?
[20:26] <joel> I need the exact model, not acer something or other ;)
[20:27] <unop_> x0x, give me two minutes..
[20:27] <Scunizi> linkinxp, turn off compiz and see what happens..
[20:27] <x0x> unop_ ok sure
[20:27] <chri3> joel: sorry - aspire 7003wsmi
[20:27] <Redian> joel: You think there's anyway she could at least repair her boot? Cuz she can't get into anything aside from through the boot menu, but it must've messed up with the partitions or something...
[20:28] <lewench> Hello all
[20:28] <linkinxp> Scunizi,  how?
[20:28] <Johnson__> anyone here have video ipod get video onto it in linux, ive spent all day trying to install thinliquidfilm just for it to tell me it cant find qt, which i just installed
[20:28] <unop_> samue1, you will need to do two things offline (from a live CD or such) .. edit the /etc/fstab to reflect the change and setup grub so that the new device is the boot partition
[20:28] <Scunizi> linkinxp, system/preferances/appearance/effects... set to none
[20:29] <timo1teo> when i switch to Ubuntu will everything still work on my laptop such as graphics card, wifi, etc....or will i have to install drivers for everything
[20:29] <StevenX> did wine-doors irc channel move?
[20:29] <joel> Redian: without another cd I really think it would be almost impossible (probably possible but a lot of work)
[20:29] <Scunizi> Redian, if the boot menu is screwed up .. that's Grub.. check out http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm for an easy fix
[20:29] <joel> chri3: try the alsa drivers, look up "alsa how to"
[20:29] <lewench> I'm getting an issue when trying to play an .avi with mplayer/vlc/movie player. When I start the movie I hear the sound, but the video is blinking and colordepth is low. I have installed the codecs from the rep. and read some tuts, this is my last option
[20:29] <sivel27> hello all
[20:30] <Annirak> So I had a power outage, and now my sound doesn't work.  It is possible that it stopped working when I did updates on Hardy.  My audio device shows up in lspci.  snd is loaded.  Nothing is muted, and all volumes are at 75%.  Where do I go from here?
[20:30] <samue1> unop_, ok, so I have to wait my HDD dies, and then to do that with Ubuntu CD
[20:30] <sivel27> at least you have sound... ive got no sound on my laptop speakers/ or usb headseat..lol
[20:30] <unop_> samue1, no, you can do that right now and leave the original disk redundant
[20:30] <joel> sivel: try alsa (look up alsa how to)
[20:30] <Annirak> sivel27: me too.
[20:30] <chri3> joel: look up - where?
[20:30] <joel> !ALSA
[20:30] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[20:30] <sivel27> it pissing me off, as im trying to "let go" of windows
[20:31] <linkinxp> Scunizi,  yes that was it
[20:31] <timo1teo> when i switch to Ubuntu will everything still work on my laptop such as graphics card, wifi, etc....or will i have to install drivers for everything
[20:31] <joel> google it....."Ubuntu ALSA how to" or something along those lines
[20:31] <joel> timo: depends on your computer
[20:31] <timo1teo> hm
[20:31] <joel> most things work out of box, wireless can be tough
[20:31] <Scunizi> linkinxp, blender I have a hard time with.. cool but no time to learn the UI
[20:31] <ompaul> !audio | sivel27 this is how it gets fixed - the builders of audio put this stuff together
[20:31] <ubotu> sivel27 this is how it gets fixed - the builders of audio put this stuff together: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[20:31] <chri3> joel: OK - thanks.
[20:31] <joel> video cards....sometimes an issue
[20:32] <generalsnus> Ok, ive managed to get our edubuntu clients authenticate against our w2k3 server(Joined domain).  But is it possible to have roaming profiles or somthing similar?  lot of users are going to use the klients and we want a roaming profile.. or atlest a folder where they can save in, we would also need to deny them saving anything on the client then
[20:32] <lewench> When trying to play an AVI i can hear the file but the video is blinking and color depth is low, anyone might have the issue to this?
[20:32] <gcleric> exit
[20:33] <joel> lewench: problem is in vlc also?
[20:33] <samue1> unop_: thank you very much for your time. I will try that. I wish you a nice day.
[20:33] <agentniles> guess that if other avi's work it's the file thats bad..
[20:33] <unop_> x0x, where are you getting this error? can you _please_ include the command you issued just before you got this message?
[20:33] <lewench> joel, problem is with mplayer, vlc, Movie player... Basically all of them
[20:33] <siraj> can any one help me please how to play mpg or asf file format
[20:33] <dryrot> how do i make it so when i hibernate... my network interfaces are still there when i come back from hibernation ?
[20:34] <arcticpenguin380> if something supports the 2.4Kernel will it work with the 2.6Kernel?
[20:34] <lewench> joel, Please disregard its now working on mplayer. Don't know what I did but its working now. Thanks though.
[20:34] <x0x> unop_ i am getting error when i add ns1.amaderbanglachat.com to my domain amaderbanglachat.com.
[20:34] <joel> lol sure thing
[20:34] <linkinxp> Scunizi,  mm i prefer 3d max tough
[20:34] <Redian> Scunizi: It sounds like she's got the Disk IO Error? She just gets a black screen with a flashing white cursor...but there aren't directions for fixing it?
[20:34] <unop_> generalsnus, is this a single roaming (mandatory) profile to be shared amongst many users?
[20:34] <Redian> Scunizi: http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#Disk_IO_error_
[20:35] <Enul> can someone tell me if ubuntu 7.10 will support firewire
[20:35] <ulises> i download ubuntu 8 beta and ubuntu dont recognize my wireless
[20:35] <ulises> waht can i do
[20:35] <joel> Enul: yes
[20:35] <Scunizi> linkinxp, change it back when done.. blender doesn't play well with compiz
[20:35] <Enul> thanks joel
[20:35] <unop_> x0x, what is the ip address of the machine running bind?
[20:35] <linkinxp> Scunizi,  nop lol
[20:36] <x0x> unop_ 5 of them ;s
[20:36] <Scunizi> Redian, could be just the video driver.. if she can ctrl+alt+F2 and get a user name password prompt (text based) then its probably that.
[20:36] <x0x> unop_ <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:37] <legend2440> ulises: wrong channel. #ubuntu+1 is fpr 8.04 help
[20:37] <siraj> i just downloaded from limewire a clip it says mpg does not play in vlc totem xine kaffeine gnome amarok
[20:37] <ulises> ok thank you
[20:37] <generalsnus> unop_: it really dosent matter. as long as they have their own folder to save stuff in.. and not fill up the client etc..and dosent change anything on the client
[20:37] <Redian> Scunizi: I don't think that would work, because it goes straight from BIOS to that screen, no grub screen in between...I can't imagine it being a graphics error...
[20:37] <Hammer89> anyone have any ideas why locking my screen is locking up my computer? last major changes I made was to reinstall ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-minimal... I have screensavers disabled
[20:38] <gaucho> Hi! I'm looking for a website for reading news and tricks, only for medium or advanced computer's users (nothing like: how to install programs using apt-get) and free of policy, only technical reading.. Anyone know one?
[20:38] <siraj> can any one tell me how to get extension of asf
[20:38] <hikejinx> !restricted | siraj
[20:38] <Redian> AHA! Disc integrity? errors found in two files...
[20:38] <ubotu> siraj: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats

[20:39] <Scunizi> Redian, ah ok.. I missed that point.. dead drive?.. bad ram?... does she have windows on this machine too? does it work.. or is Ubuntu a full install.
[20:39] <unop_> x0x, ok, but when i lookup your dns info from my machine, i get <IP_ADDRESS> as the ip address for your domain .. have you got authorization from your domain reseller/isp to host the DNS server yourself?
[20:39] <Redian> Scunizi: windows on the machine also
[20:39] <Scunizi> Redian, and it works?
[20:39] <jaffarkelshac> is it possible to have an application run in the host pc via ssh? i know you can on the client by forwarding X
[20:39] <Redian> no
[20:39] <x0x> unop_ no.
[20:39] <x0x> how do i do it?
[20:39] <siraj> ok ubotu thanks i will go right now thanks
[20:40] <Scunizi> Redian, did it just stop working after trying to install ubuntu?
[20:40] <Redian> Scunizi: she can't boot anything, when she presses for boot options on BIOS screen and chooses the hard drive she just gets the black screen.
[20:40] <Odd-rationale> !thanks | siraj
[20:40] <ubotu> siraj: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[20:40] <Redian> Scunizi: Yeah, its the Ubuntu install that killed it. It sounds like the MBR got really messed up
[20:40] <Piffer> what does this mean?   /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpopt ?  ...googling...
[20:40] <ubuntu> hola
[20:40] <ubuntu> alguien que hable español
[20:40] <unop_> generalsnus, it's quite simple then .. all you need to do is mount the samba share (on the domain controller) on /home on each of the machines
[20:41] <Scunizi> Redian, she might need to reinstall ubuntu with a cd that is known to work..
[20:41] <ubuntu> holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[20:41] <sivel27> is there a command to "downgrade" back to 7.10?
[20:41] <ubuntu> Soy daniel desde uruguay
[20:41] <Redian> Scunizi: I've given out sooo many XD
[20:41] <Odd-rationale> sivel27: no there isn't...
[20:41] <genii> !es | ubuntu
[20:41] <jaffarkelshac> so far, i have not come across downgrading sivel27
[20:41] <ubotu> ubuntu: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[20:41] <Scunizi> sivel27, if you created a seperate /home partition  just reinstall..
[20:42] <unop_> x0x, right, you need to do that first .. they will then unlock your domain and point the nameserver addresses to one of the IP addresses you give them, then it should all be quite simple
[20:42] <gaucho> sivel27, oh no! You did it too! I installed 8.01 on my work machine and got bad things too..
[20:43] <generalsnus> unop_:  so.. basicly share their profiles and ..?
[20:44] <x0x> unop_ i did.
[20:44]  * genii ponders 8.01
[20:45] <gaucho> Odd-rationale, Why you talk about you don't know? Of course there is a solution to downgrade ubuntu!
[20:45] <cder> Scunizi: how does the NAT ip address which is <IP_ADDRESS>  relate to the gateway in ubuntu which is <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:45] <Odd-rationale> gaucho: there is a way. but not "one command" like to upgrade...
[20:46] <danand> gaucho - not officially .... but probably doable yes
[20:46] <gaucho> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DowngradeHowto
[20:46] <unop_> generalsnus, the way it works is .. you create a shared folder on a domain controller or such - call it \\example.com\users .. then you mount that on /home .. mount -t smbfs <options> //example.com/users ... when a user first logs on, their home directory will be created (on the server), on subsequent logins, their home directories will be available from any machine, anywhere
[20:46] <danand> then again :)
[20:46] <gaucho> Odd-rationale, Do you thing your answer helped that guy?
[20:46] <BenMilbo> Hello
[20:46] <Annirak> How do I determine which update is requiring a reboot before I reboot?
[20:46] <unop_> generalsnus, mount -t smbfs <options> //example.com/users /home # my bad
[20:47] <gaucho> You are right! There's not a command, but I can do it with three!
[20:47] <^NighT^WalkeR^> anyone here experience with ndisgtk (ndis gui)
[20:47] <Scunizi> cder, the NAT address is your router? 192.168.xxx.x is an address that is used inside LANs and usually assigned by your router using dhcp..
[20:47] <hikejinx> gaucho: if you read, it says you will probably end up in a catastrophic mess. Better to backup in advance and then just reinstall.
[20:47] <unop_> x0x, so how long did the reseller say it would take for DNS to reflect the change?
[20:48] <gaucho> hikejinx, I did it.. no problems..
[20:48] <Odd-rationale> gaucho: I don't want to argue, but I don;t want to be responsible if the procedure messes up his/hers system. If you would like to help, I'm all for that!
[20:48] <unop_> cder, both those addresses are related by the fact that they exist on the same IP network
[20:48] <hikejinx> gaucho: it just sounds tricky and may depend on what you've installed. if you install apps dependent on the upgrade, you WILL be left in a bind with useless/broken packages.
[20:48] <BenMilbo> Ok so if anybody here can help me, i would greaty appreciate it!  I'm at the manual boot window for Ubuntu and i set up several partitions, the old one was win XP and hte other is ubuntu.... but the only other OS that comes up in "Other Operating systems:" is "Windows vista/Longhorn" and when i select it, it boots windows for half a second and goees back to the Boot Menu!
[20:48] <generalsnus> unop_ damn nice :D     just 1 thing tho..  "mount -t smbfs <options> //myserver.int/users /home"   where does that line go..in some config file?
[20:49] <Odd-rationale> gaucho: personally, the way I downgrade is reinstalll. ;)
[20:49] <BenMilbo> I can't figure out how to boot back into Win XP
[20:49] <unop_> generalsnus, that's a command you can use in a script, although it's best if you get that as an entry in /etc/fstab (needs a little modification) .. see !fstab
[20:50] <cder> Scunizi: so if i putty to ubuntu from xp then i use the static ip address
[20:50] <BenMilbo> Anybody here experienced with switching between Operating Systems?  I'm stuck and I can't get back into XP
[20:50] <arcticpenguin380> will i notice a difference in speed going quad core from dualcore?
[20:50] <gaucho> Odd-rationale, yes.. I understand your point of view. I just saw that because every time I ask for something, people answer another question I don't made. Do, If I ask for a command (of way to make) a downgrade, people answer that this is not a good solution. But this was not the question!
[20:51] <Scunizi> cder, if you've assigned one to ubuntu yes.. otherwise use the one assigned by dhcp
[20:51] <GlenQuagmire> BenMilbo: you are in grub now ?
[20:51] <unop_> cder, if you have samba installed, you can also use the name of the ubuntu machine
[20:51] <BenMilbo> Sorry Glen, I'm completely new to this .. what's "grub"?
[20:51] <generalsnus> unop_ thanks a lot, ill try this now
[20:51] <generalsnus> !fstab
[20:51] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[20:51] <flea> ikonia are you back yet lol ?
[20:51] <Odd-rationale> gaucho: ok. i got you.
[20:52] <GlenQuagmire> BenMilbo: no prob :) do you have a list with items you can boot ? like ubuntu / windows etc ?
[20:53] <GlenQuagmire> !grub
[20:53] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[20:54] <BenMilbo> Yes I see several options.. "Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-15-generic", "Ubuntu, kernel (recovery mode)","Ubuntuu, memtest86+" , and under Other operating systems: "Windows Vista/Longhorn(loader)"
[20:54] <BenMilbo> but my previous OS was Windows XP and not Vista!  i try selecting Vista and it begins to boot but restarts back in Ubuntu
[20:55] <joel> just curious, why would you upgrade from xp to vista?
[20:55] <GlenQuagmire> BenMilbo: ok. when you select windows vista (but you have xp?) and type "e", what do you see ?
[20:55] <flea> BenMilbo: it is only a label, not very indicative of what the actual OS is
[20:55] <joel> XP is 10X better than Vista
[20:55] <GlenQuagmire> xp is not vista ;) its both crap.
[20:55] <joel> Xp is still better
[20:55] <BenMilbo> here's what it says: "root (hd0,1)", "savedefault", "makeactive", "chainloader +1"
[20:55] <joel> Vista is just smelly crap
[20:55] <flea> .... back on track
[20:55] <joel> lol
[20:55] <albuntu> joel ubuntu is 1 million times better than xp and vista putted together
[20:56] <albuntu> :P
[20:56] <joel> that can be debated for a long time ;)
[20:56] <joel> but I use Ubuntu 99.9% of the time so I guess my bet is on Ubuntu
[20:57] <pepe_> Hola alguien de Chile
[20:57] <unop_> !es | pepe_
[20:57] <ubotu> pepe_: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[20:57] <BenMilbo> My original intention was to set up my PC so that whenever I restart, I could select which OS to boot up
[20:57] <BenMilbo> between Win XP and Ubuntu
[20:58] <genii> pepe_: No hay canal específico para Chile. El canal más cercano estará para España, según lo indicado.
[20:58] <flea> BenMilbo: are you in linux now?
[20:58] <pepe_> ¿Speaking Spanish? Por Favor
[20:58] <Redian> Scunizi: You think by changing the partitions she might be able to achieve functionality?
[20:58] <joel> genii: si creo que es verdad
[20:58] <Boohbah> !es
[20:58] <ubotu> Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[20:58] <Cyntrox> How can I find a list of processes currently running?
[20:58] <genii> unop_: He was asking previously about a Chile specific channel, of which there is none
[20:58] <BenMilbo> I am at the Linux boot screen
[20:58] <flea> BenMilbo: being familiar with your drives/partitions is a great place to start
[20:59] <GlenQuagmire> BenMilbo: you first had an installation of XP, then you did installation of ubuntu right ? on 1 harddisk ?
[20:59] <flea> Cyntrox: ps aux
[20:59] <Cyntrox> flea: thanks
[20:59] <Scunizi> Redian, not necessarily.  It sounds like it just wasn't installed correctly.. she should have a GRUB menu that pops up on boot. right after bios.. that's why I suggested the previous link.. a reinstall may fix it all.
[20:59] <ikonia> flea: I am back yes, I'm just setting up for some tests
[20:59] <unop_> genii, aye, but i figured the chilean people congregate in the spanish channel .. so i hoped to redirect him there to find company
[20:59] <flea> Cyntrox: man ps for more options, np
[20:59] <BenMilbo> I followed a guide I found online... I did start with XP but when I installed ubuntu, I manually created another partition using the LiveCD
[21:00] <joel> and the install had no errors?
[21:00] <flea> ikonia: np just worried that either time had slowed down on me or that u didnt make it home lol
[21:00] <BenMilbo> There were no errors during installation
[21:00] <genii> unop_: I basically told hi there is no specific channel for his country and to use the spanish one instead
[21:00] <ikonia> flea: nah, just slow drive, and sorting a few things out before I sit down to compute
[21:00] <joel> yeah try reinstall of Grub
[21:00] <flea> ikonia: you grabbed a 6-pack didnt u? lol
[21:00] <Guillem_> My sister has the following problem: she has a wireless router (encripted with password) but a neighbour of her has an open wireless router, and with her feisty setup, network manager always chooses the open wireless; so she has to remind to change the network. Is there any way to ban a certain network in network-manager? or to give precedence a given network?
[21:00] <unop_> genii, i saw
[21:01] <joel> when she chooses her own and reboots it changes back to the open? that's a bit strange, mine goes to the last one I connected to
[21:01] <joel> what version of Ubuntu?
[21:01] <Guillem_> joel, the previous one
[21:02] <Guillem_> joel, the behaviour is as you say, Ubuntu is feisty
[21:02] <joel> previous one like Feisty? or previous one Gutsy?
[21:02] <BenMilbo> So reinstalling Grub might allow me to boot in back up in XP?
[21:02] <joel> oh okay
[21:02] <Scunizi> !who | joel
[21:02] <ubotu> joel: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[21:02] <joel> try upgrading to Gutsy ?
[21:02] <Guillem_> joel, Hardy is not yet out ha ha
[21:02] <RoAkSoAx>
[21:02] <flea> BenMilbo: if your xp partition is untouched (and most likely its fine) YES
[21:02] <magnetron> Guillem_: ubuntu 7.10 is out yet. upgrade to that one
[21:02] <BenMilbo> !tab
[21:02] <ubotu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[21:02] <joel> Guillem: why not upgrade to Gutsy? That might fix it in itself (plus add a few other cool things)
[21:03] <flea> BenMilbo: fdisk -l /dev/<yourharddrive>
[21:03] <Jckf> How can I access the stuff on my Windows Mobile device (mainly the memory card) from Ubuntu?
[21:03] <flea> BenMilbo: try to aquaint yourself with your drives/partitiions
[21:03] <joel> Jckf: when you plug it in does it not auto mount?
[21:03] <Guillem_> joel, you are right, but I don't want to leave her alone during the upgrade and we cannot manage to meet so long time because we live at diferent cities, I have childhood and time is a mess....
[21:03] <Jckf> No
[21:03] <Infernalord> Hello everyone, I need some help configuring my graphics card, please!
[21:03] <BenMilbo> I appreciate the help guys
[21:03] <magnetron> Jckf: set your mobile to standard USB mass storage mode. if it supports it.
[21:03] <joel> Guillem: she can manually set it but then if she moves her computer she'll have to change that
[21:04] <Guillem_> joel, magnetron I'm willing to upgrade her, but It will be quite diferent
[21:04] <magnetron> !helpme | Infernalord
[21:04] <ubotu> Infernalord: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience
[21:04] <flea> ikonia: did you get the imgs i hosted?
[21:04] <Jckf> magnetron: I'd need extra software on the phone?
[21:04] <Guillem_> joel, yes, you are right. Thanks for the pointer. She will have to setup the card in roaming mode if she goes elsewhere, though
[21:04] <ikonia> flea: I'll look shortly
[21:05] <flea> BenMilbo: np i say the thing about knowing your drives/partitions bc grub can be confusing if you are not familiar with your partitions already
[21:05] <joel> Guillem: yeah that will do for now but I suggest getting her on Gutsy soon because Hardy is coming out in three weeks and it's going to be the best Ubuntu release yet
[21:05] <magnetron> Jckf: i'm not sure windows mobile supports standard USB mass storage mode. you'd have to ask your phone salesman
[21:05] <kermas> hi to everyone
[21:05] <Infernalord> I can only get 640x480 or 800x600 resolutions, and I need better, I just don't know exactly what to do. Maybe I need to install some drivers, my card is an onboard Intel.
[21:06] <turdega> !windowsmobile
[21:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about windowsmobile - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:06] <Guillem_> joel, :)
[21:06] <BenMilbo> Thanks Flea, can you refer me to a site where I can learn more about Grub?  and how to reinstall it
[21:06] <magnetron> !grub | BenMilbo
[21:06] <ubotu> BenMilbo: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[21:06] <joel> Infernalord: go to your xorg /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see what you can find in there
[21:06] <mathew> I have a white screen on WoW after I log on, and I don't have the wtf/Config.wtf file. What can I do?
[21:07] <joel> Mathew: stop playing WoW it's a drug that needs to be banned
[21:07] <joel> ;)
[21:07] <flea> BenMilbo: yes (or if someone else has the ubuntu/grub doc link handy?)
[21:07] <Ssam`> hey
[21:07] <Ssam`> what at the administration tools in ubuntu called?
[21:07] <mathew> IWoW
[21:07] <flea> ty ubotu
[21:07] <Guillem_> joel, interesting, she has Beryl 0.3.0 I installed there so long time ago....
[21:07] <turdega> Jckf, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/WindowsMobile
[21:08] <joel> Guillem: yeah Beryl doesn't even exist any more, taken over by Compiz....and it's so much more stable
[21:08] <Infernalord> joel: I found the file, do you want to see the content?
[21:08] <joel> Infernalord: don't post all of it in the window, either private message me or put it online and give me a link
[21:08] <BenMilbo> I'm following this guide to reinstall Grub "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351"
[21:08] <Ssam`> what are the administration tools in ubuntu called...the ones wit users and groups management in gui?
[21:08] <Guillem_> joel, looking at her synaptic is like flashing-back,
[21:09] <GlenQuagmire> actually beryl was forked from compiz, and now they are together, naming it compiz-fusion if im not mistaken
[21:09] <joel> Guillem: I still don't use Synaptic much, I prefer apt-get
[21:09] <turdega> Ssam`, system/administration/users and groups
[21:09] <Ssam`> yea but what are they called?
[21:09] <Lyricaldogg> Hi everyone, what do i need to make my PC my home server ?
[21:09] <Ssam`> if u want to download them
[21:09] <Ssam`> apt-get....
[21:09] <joel> Lyricaldogg: what kind of a server, just really basic?
[21:09] <Guillem_> Lyricaldogg, it depends of what you want to serve, I guess....
[21:09] <Lyricaldogg> joel: yes please
[21:09] <turdega> Ssam`, users-admin
[21:10] <turdega> thats what you have to run to launch it
[21:10] <BobSlob> anyone happen to use a auzentech hda x-plosion card... i'm having quite the trouble
[21:10] <Lyricaldogg> Guillem_: in this case just internet
[21:10] <joel> Lyricaldogg: sudo apt-get install samba
[21:10] <Guillem_> Lyricaldogg, you have two ethernet cards?
[21:10] <BobSlob> it appears to be detected... but i cant for the life of me get the optical out/spdif to work
[21:10] <joel> Lyricaldogg: I have a really basic network all the computers running Samba (including server)
[21:10] <Lyricaldogg> joel : thank you ?
[21:10] <Ssam`> thanks i am asking cuz i am on debian...i am waiting for the new ubuntu :)
[21:10] <BobSlob> and being new to linux... so lost
[21:10] <Redian> Scunizi: Even though it probably won't work, I'm having her delete all the faulty Linux partitions. Its almost funny, she has 7 partitions. A fat32, 3 ext3s and 3 linux swaps. >.>
[21:11] <joel> 3 swaps!?
[21:11] <turdega> Ssam`, cool nothing wrong with deb =)
[21:11] <Lyricaldogg> Guillem_: 2 eth ? no, 1
[21:11] <Ssam`> yep :)
[21:11] <Redian> joel: 3 swaps 3 paritions, 3 failed installs
[21:11] <Redian> XD
[21:11] <Guillem_> Lyricaldogg, but  you want to provide internet access to other machines?
[21:11] <Ssam`> except u have to install everything from scratch its kewl u learn a lott
[21:12] <Infernalord> joel:  here it is: http://dpaste.com/43805/
[21:12] <Scunizi> Redian, THAT would cause issues.. 2 ext3s and 1 swap is all you need for linux.. 1 ext3=10-12 gigs for / (root) ... 1 swap (max 1gig)... the rest ext3 for /home
[21:12] <Lyricaldogg> Guillem_: not alot, just for  laptop that does not have a Dongle
[21:12] <Ssam`> okay ubuntu dosent have users-admin anywhere i can download ubuntu packages directly?
[21:12] <heartsblood> whats the command to check your ipods physical address?
[21:12] <Redian> Scunizi: wouldn't that be nice if getting rid of the extras and resizing the windows to its original size worked?
[21:12] <joel> how do I go idle or invisible here ?
[21:13] <cder> Scunizi: if i am at work and i want to log in to my windows xp machine then log into ubuntu on vmware is this possible?
[21:13] <Starnestommy> joel: /away reason
[21:13] <Scunizi> Redian, no need to resize yet. try first.
[21:13] <Guillem_> Lyricaldogg, which is the configuration? I mean how do you connect the "server" to the internet? and how do you interconnect the "server" and the laptop?
[21:13] <Redian> Scunizi: Hmm, it won't let her edit the partitions. She can't unmount the ext3s and swaps
[21:13] <Scunizi> cder, log into one or the other but not windows to ubuntu.. you can also use Tight vnc for gui connection..
[21:14] <sercik> someone can help me on how to setkeycodes?
[21:14] <heartsblood> cd usb
[21:14] <heartsblood> sorry
[21:15] <sercik> dmesg output tell me about setkeycodes
[21:15] <Scunizi> Redian, on reinstall when you get to the partitioning section you have to choose manual .. in there you'll be able to delete the uneeded partitions.
[21:15] <cder> Scunizi: how can i log into ubuntu from remote if its on a vmware in xp
[21:15] <Redian> Scunizi: I have her in partition manager, that won't work?
[21:15] <rwycuff> Infernalord:looks like you got driver set right maybe try removing all the modes accept the res yuo want in the config there
[21:15] <Scunizi> cder, it has it's own ip.. set router to port forward the right port to the right ip..
[21:16] <Lyricaldogg> Guillem: i have a multi port wireless modem, they are all conected to the modem but 1 of the laptops does not have a wireless. so My Pc connects to the Modem wirelesn gives through Ethernets the
[21:16] <Scunizi> Redian, partition manager in Windows?
[21:16] <Scunizi> Redian, or the live cd?
[21:16] <Redian> Scunizi: livecd
[21:16] <cder> Scunici: no sure i can do that with my cablr modem
[21:16] <cder> cable
[21:17] <Infernalord> rwycuff: it is very strange, because all the modes are on the xorg.conf but I ican only choose 640x480 and 800x600. I haven't installed any drivers, maybe I should try to get the latest ones? I just don't know exactly where...
[21:17] <Guillem_> Lyricaldogg, then you have two cards at the server: the ethernet card and the wireless card
[21:17] <Scunizi> Redian, yes that will work.. however if you are just going to delete what's not needed then you need to know which partition has / on it and which swap is setup for the install.. better to delete them all and recreate them then reinstall.
[21:17] <cder> its buy router time
[21:17] <BenMilbo> Flea, can I talk to you directly about my problem?
[21:17] <lewench> I have a G5 mouse but my "side button" doesn't work. Where would I go to configure this?
[21:17] <Redian> Scunizi: I'm having her delete all but the windows one.
[21:17] <cder> i have one already but its not for a cable modem
[21:18] <Redian> Scunizi: Odd thing is none of them have a boot flag, and it wouldn't let her select unmount for the partitions
[21:18] <Scunizi> cder, ah.. I forgot.. get a router.. cheep and also good protection for your windows side.
[21:18] <rwycuff> Infernalord:try in the respos but ive got video card that does the same to me and then i do what i just told yuo to and vola it works
[21:18] <Redian> Scunizi: without unmounting she can't delete them
[21:18] <Lyricaldogg> Guillem_: i'm now going to get samba to run and give it a go.... yes i have the ethernet and wireless
[21:18] <flea> BenMilbo: sure
[21:18] <Guillem_> Lyricaldogg, you have two ways to do this kind of things: 1) a proxy 2) a firewall setup. Proxy is easier to setup but only will give the laptop access to http:// and ftp:// (no games, etc.)
[21:18] <Scunizi> Redian, that'll work... if they are not mounted you won't be able to unmount them..
[21:18] <Guillem_> Lyricaldogg, samba will let you share files among the machines
[21:18] <lewench> I have a G5 mouse but my "side button" doesn't work. Where would I go to configure this?
[21:19] <cder> Scunizi: i have this labtop and a imac so i need something for sure
[21:19] <flea> lewench: xorg.conf
[21:19] <nathan42100> is it possible to automount a fat32 partition when you login?
[21:19] <Guillem_> Lyricaldogg, "firestarter" used to be a nice tool to setup the firewall easily ... It is long I don't use but may do the trick
[21:19] <lewench> flea, thanks
[21:19] <nathan42100> without having to enter any passwords?
[21:19] <flea> lewench: np
[21:19] <Guillem_> Lyricaldogg, "squid" is the proxy
[21:20] <tyuio_> hi
[21:20] <Scunizi> Redian,  the live cd typically doesn't allow you to "see" the HD.. you could have her install gparted in the live cd if she has enough ram.. then run that.. that should be able to do it.

[21:20] <gatestone> My sound used to work,but something has happened?
[21:21] <gatestone> On gutsy that is
[21:21] <tyuio_> the size having swap partition is it limited ?
[21:21] <Redian> Scunizi: hmm, I'm having use the install feature..
[21:21] <Guillem_> Lyricaldogg, to transfer files to windows OS: samba
[21:21] <Infernalord> rwycuff: Ok, I will delete the other modes from xorg.conf and then should I run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ?
[21:21] <Scunizi> Redian, that should work.
[21:21] <tyuio_> if yes tell me how much ?
[21:21] <Guillem_> Lyricaldogg, to surf the web: squid (+ setting up the proxy at windows web browser)
[21:22] <rwycuff> Infernalord: no dont reconfigure it just put something in there manually like say "1280x1024" by itself then restart X and see if it does what you want
[21:22] <Guillem_> Lyricaldogg, to really "share" the internet: you need a firewall setup which routes packages from the windows machine (NAT). Firestarter is your friend here
[21:23] <tyuio_> hello
[21:23] <Guillem_> Lyricaldogg, installing samba is like making the linux box behave as a windows machine at a windows network.
[21:23] <asker> quick question.. what is the best graphical code editor pre-installed with ubuntu?
[21:23] <bobbo85> Hi all, I can't get Audacity or SoundRecorder to record any sound.  I'm talking about songs playing etc on the computer, not from an input line or a mic.  Any help?
[21:23] <Redian> Scunizi:  IS there a way she can apply the changes without creating an ext3 for linux and a linux-swap? (in the install
[21:23] <lunartear> anyone here familiar with ACL?
[21:23] <LjL> asker: pre-installed? i think there's basically only gedit nano and vim pre-installed
[21:24] <asker> ty
[21:24] <LjL> asker: why can't you, uhm, install one? :)
[21:24] <LjL> !code | asker
[21:24] <ubotu> asker: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, eclipse, pida
[21:24] <Scunizi> Redian, not that I'm aware of because she's deep into the install process.. no problem though.. delete all and then create what's actually needed and go through the install process.

[21:25] <asker> thanks ill try a couple o these.. if they are not what im looking for ill be back. (to ask what to install)
[21:26] <Exteris> _elemental, clear ?
[21:26] <Starnestommy> tyuio_: you may need to ask your question again
[21:26] <Scunizi> Redian, if you are not seperating / from /home then as big as you want.. You can use all the remaining space that is not taken by windows or a 1 gig /swap
[21:26] <MadSurfer> Question : How to love Microsoft software ?
[21:26] <Starnestommy> _elemental: ctrl+L
[21:26] <tyuio_> the size having swap partition is it limited ?
[21:26] <Starnestommy> !ot | MadSurfer
[21:26] <bastid_raZor> tyuio_; swap is not limited no.. but should be about 1G or at max 2G
[21:26] <ubotu> MadSurfer: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[21:26] <Scunizi> MadSurfer, from a distance.
[21:26] <_elemental> Exteris, that will clear the screen but yo can still page up and see the buffer
[21:26] <Exteris> _elemental, gnome-terminal has a reset and clear button
[21:27] <Exteris> _elemental, logout & login again?
[21:27] <lewench> flea, would you know how to setup the G5 mouse in ubuntu?
[21:27] <MadSurfer> Scunizi, exactly what I am thinking today :D
[21:28] <Johnson> anyone have pyqt installed
[21:28] <_elemental> Extris, reset and clear does it, is there a way to hot key that?
[21:28] <Riddell> Johnson: yes
[21:28] <Johnson> im trying to make it form surce but it doesn't ever install anything in my usr/bin, pretty annoying it installs stuff all over my python distro tho.
[21:28] <Redian> Scunizi: I just hope the two files on the disc that are bad won't mess up her install again.
[21:28] <MadSurfer> Question 2: how to leave the MS world ?
[21:28] <tyuio_> seriously having swap partition is it usefull when the RAM is fully complete ?
[21:29] <BenMilbo> Can anybody help me with booting my windows XP from a non-first disk?
[21:29] <slimjimflim> anybody know why audio would stop working w/ adobe flash player?
[21:29] <Scunizi> Redian, what 2 files are bad? are they in the windows side.. ? or the other side?
[21:29] <Johnson> Riddell, how do i get it  in usr/bin, when i build from source it does all this stuff in my python adds all these files etc, but when a program tries to call pyqt it doeswork i opened bin and its not there
[21:29] <nathan42100> is it possible to automount a harddrive on login without inputting a password?
[21:29] <bastid_raZor> Johnson; /usr/local/bin possibly?
[21:29] <Redian> Scunizi: She checked disc integrity and she got two bad files
[21:29] <Johnson> bastid_raZor, not there either
[21:29] <tyuio_> i mean is the swap take control when the RAM usage is full ?
[21:29] <bastid_raZor> Johnson; it should actually ask you where you want to put the binary if making from source.
[21:29] <Scunizi> Redian, what did she use to check with?
[21:29] <tyuio_> i mean is the swap take control when the RAM usage is full ? bastid_raZor
[21:30] <Redian> Scunizi: "Check Disk Integrity" on th eliveCD
[21:30] <Scunizi> tyuio_, yes it's used like ram on the hd.
[21:30] <_elemental> Extris, i found it, thanks man
[21:30] <askand> Hi, my laptop keep turning itself of, the laptop is running all the time and the CPU gets hot..this is Ubuntus fault because it does not happen in Windows..any idea on what I can do?
[21:30] <joetheodd> Stupid question time! Does Ubuntu have drivers / software to make use of a WinTV card? If so, can it act as a primary video interface?
[21:30] <Scunizi> Redian, ah.. ok.. well .. we'll see :)
[21:30] <flea> lewench: no actually i dont
[21:30] <slimjimflim> askand, turn of acpid
[21:30] <flea> lewench: i was looking around though
[21:30] <lewench> Does anyone know how to setup a 5 button mouse in xorg.conf? Im currently in there and I, under input devices
[21:30] <askand> slimjimflim:  how?
[21:31] <Orbixx> Just so all you Ubuntu fans know.
[21:31] <askand> slimjimflim:  ok did that now..
[21:31] <Johnson> bastid_raZor, it doesn't ask my anything
[21:31] <askand> slimjimflim: what does it do?
[21:31] <Orbixx> I've tried on 3 different distros to install rtorrent.
[21:31] <tyuio_> why the swap size is limited the maximum is only 2gB like he say bastid_raZor
[21:31] <tyuio_> ????`
[21:31] <slimjimflim> it's the power saver
[21:31] <Orbixx> Every distro, but Ubuntu Gutsy failed hard.
[21:31] <Johnson> i just run configure.py then make, then make install
[21:31] <Ace2016> Hi all
[21:31] <XeiaieX> hello
[21:31] <BenMilbo> Can someone please help me with the Grub utility?  I'm stuck and when I try to boot back in WindowsXP it shows the loading screen for a split second and then restarts back to the Grub menu
[21:31] <joetheodd> Orbixx, w00t.
[21:31] <Riddell> Johnson: ../configure.py LIBDIR_QT=/usr/lib  I think
[21:31] <Ace2016> is there a mouse compatibility website for linux??1?
[21:32] <Lyricaldogg> Guillem: i'm havin troubles, it's nor capable of doin the instalation plus asks me to change to visible_hostname
[21:32] <bastid_raZor> tyuio_;  it is not limited but normally anything over 2GB is overkill and pointless.. you can make it what you want.
[21:32] <lewench> flea, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=416688 post#5 look like it might work?
[21:32] <Johnson> aight
[21:32] <XeiaieX> there is way too much going on in here to keep up for me lol
[21:32] <lewench> Don't want to try it and mess it up.
[21:32] <tyuio_> ok
[21:32] <tyuio_> thx i will
[21:32] <bastid_raZor> Johnson; what program did you install?
[21:32] <tyuio_> try
[21:32] <tyuio_> bye
[21:33] <XeiaieX> how do i make my own channel?
[21:34] <stalker314314> my screen is broken and that ubuntu screen configurator is to blame. Even when I return my old xorg.conf and restart X, it's still 800x600
[21:34] <bastid_raZor> Johnson; i see.. then in that directory the binary is located.. or use riddell's configure syntax
[21:34] <stalker314314> what else that confirator changed?
[21:34] <Enul> I really hate to ask this but will ubuntu work with a usb modem?
[21:35] <ryanakca> Why can't I mount devices? I get "An error occured while accessing 'Lexar', the system pesponded: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal") when trying to do so from a GUI interface
[21:35] <Orbixx> Whilst I'm here.
[21:35] <bastid_raZor> stalker314314; you could use sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg    to reconfigure X and add more resolutions
[21:35] <stalker314314> what is the name of that configurator that is starting when X is broken?
[21:35] <Orbixx> Would any of you know why the Ubuntu installation always freezes on my computer.
[21:35] <nathan42100> ranakca, is that a windows partition?
[21:35] <askand> What does acpid do?
[21:35] <Orbixx> Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 4GB DDR2 RAM, RAID-0 2x WD Raptor 10,000RPM
[21:36] <Orbixx> 8800GTX, Nvidia
[21:36] <Orbixx> Any known issues with those components?
[21:36] <ryanakca> askand: its the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface event daemon
[21:36] <flea> my pentium 2 has no comment Orbixx
[21:36] <XeiaieX> someone who knows how to create my own channel pls PM me?
[21:36] <ryanakca> nathan42100: no
[21:36] <Orbixx> hah
[21:36] <Orbixx> XeiaieX: Join the channel you want to make.
[21:36] <Orbixx> It automatically creates it.
[21:36] <nathan42100> try sudo mount -o force <location>
[21:37] <nathan42100> then restart and try to mount it if you can't do it then
[21:37] <askand> ryanakca: I see, how would turning that of make my CPU cooler?
[21:37] <XeiaieX> oh i see... hmm, this is my first time evern in xchat. thanks a lot ill try it!
[21:37] <stalker314314> i started that and it shows:xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.2008040822361
[21:37] <stalker314314> and xorg is still the same (my original which all of sudden does not work)
[21:38] <Enul> will ubuntu support a usb modem?
[21:38] <bastid_raZor> stalker314314; you added higher resolutions when you ran that command?
[21:38] <stalker314314> no, it just spit that and exited
[21:39] <asker> are the hardy free and non free apt repos dead?
[21:39] <asker>  Failed to fetch http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/dists/hardy/free/binary-i386/Packages.gz
[21:39] <stalker314314> thing is...I already have ok xorg.conf with ok resolutions, but it just don't load after X restart
[21:39] <ryanakca> askand: how would turning it on make it cooler? That I don't know, but if you install it, it should start at boot...
[21:40] <XeiaieX> oh how neat. lol
[21:40] <XeiaieX> it worked
[21:40] <gatestone> OK, I confess: my laptop physical mount button was on!
[21:40] <ryanakca> askand: iirc, you can use it to control the fans...
[21:40] <Redian> Scunizi: its installing....ooooo she's at 8%, last time it failed at 58%
[21:41] <Scunizi> Redian, cross your fingers.. did she try to manually do the partitions last time? weird that she had so many.
[21:41] <Redian> no, she'd been splitting them using guided
[21:41] <bastid_raZor> wife returns home.. gotta run
[21:41] <Redian> so i think it just kept splitting and splitting
[21:41] <RedScare> hey, Gutsy gnome-power-manager will not control my laptops backlight brightness
[21:41] <askand> ryanakca:  Ok I was told here I while ago that turning it off could make my cpu cooler..
[21:42] <Scunizi> Redian, men have logic... women have emotion..
[21:42] <RedScare> any ideas on how to get gnome's power manager backlight to integrate with RandR extensions that xbacklight uses?
[21:42] <Redian> Scunizi: LOL NO. Her laptop killed itself, overheat.
[21:42] <ryanakca> askand: hmm... Don't know ;)
[21:43] <Tu13es> how do I search for files in terminal?
[21:43] <Scunizi> Redian, I was thinking of the partitioning.
[21:43] <kane77> Tu13es, use locate
[21:43] <Redian> Scunizi: ...and?
[21:43] <Scunizi> Tul3es, find, locate
[21:43] <Starnestommy> Tu13es: 'locate filename' or 'find / -name filenanme'
[21:43] <RedScare> anyone?
[21:43] <Lyricaldogg> Hi, how do i set visible mode on squid?
[21:43] <Saj0577> can anyone give me a hand with mounting NFS shares?if so send me a private message please :) cheers
[21:43] <nathan42100> is it possible to automount a harddrive on login without inputting a password?
[21:43] <Redian> Scunizi: Oh XD No I was LOL NOing because her computer killed itself in the middle of install, which definitely is not going to help...
[21:44] <dtolj> here is PVR question, does anyone know of any stand alone programs for commercial skipping?
[21:44] <Scunizi> Redian, It would be logical not to make too many partitions but emotionally it might make sense. :)
[21:44] <BenMilbo> I would really appreciate some help with this, it has been frustrating me for the past 3 hours.  I try booting XP from linux grub utility, and it goes to the start-up screen for a split second, shows a blue screen then IMMEDIATELY reboots the system back to the Grub menu.  I originally had XP and installed Ubuntu on a partition
[21:45] <RedScare> BenMilbo
[21:45] <BenMilbo> Yes
[21:45] <RedScare> after selecting XP in grub have you tried pressing F8 to view recovery options
[21:45] <RedScare> and tried safe mode?
[21:46] <Redian> Scunizi: I have to go do my hw, but I wanted to get that resolved for her...I'll talk to you maybe some other time. If you're interested in finding out whether or not it worked, send me a message and give me your email XD
[21:47] <RedScare> i had the same problem with Vista, turns out after mounting the drive for RW access in ubuntu I had corrupted the drive
[21:47] <BenMilbo> I can't make it far enough to press F8.  After i select Windows to boot, it shows the xp startup screen for less than a second, then the system restarts
[21:47] <RedScare> no
[21:47] <RedScare> you press F8 before the startup screen mate
[21:47] <asker> does anyone know where the X settings in failsafe are stored?
[21:47] <Scunizi> Redian, no problem.. I'm here when I can be. I"ve got a unique nick.. just shout!  :)  C Ya
[21:47] <RedScare> try booting again, and between GRUB and the split second you see XP startup hit F8 over and over
[21:47] <asker> I've looked in the Xorg.conf and all the hidden files. but I cant find it anywhere
[21:48] <BenMilbo> RedScare, I will try taht
[21:48] <RedScare> Ben, you have you mounted the NTFS drive in linux?
[21:48] <jessid> hello. Besides Istambul, is there another app to record what is in the screen???
[21:48] <Wobbo> does 3-way sli work on ubuntu?
[21:49] <BenMilbo> RedScare, I am at the advanced options menu.  I tried selecting Safemode and it still rebooted back to Grub
[21:49] <gatestone> How do I see dot-files (hidden files) in GNOME "choose a directory" window?
[21:49] <Exteris> gatestone, ctrl-h
[21:49] <jessid> gatestone ctrl + h

[21:49] <alatar> по русски тут говорят? )
[21:49] <jessid> gatestone no doubt, jejejee
[21:49] <RedScare> nice, you need to get your XP installation disc, enter recovery mode from booting to disc and then run CHKDSK
[21:50] <dimas_> hello, i need some help with evolution...keep asking me the password cause cant connect to server
[21:50] <RedScare> with option /f
[21:50] <RedScare> Ben, do you have your installation disc?
[21:50] <BenMilbo> Unfortunately, I do not
[21:51] <dubby> Hello anyone, I have a microsoft keyboard and anyway a couple of the functions work on it and a couple do not, i was wondering if i could bind a couple of the keys
[21:51] <RedScare> hm
[21:51] <dubby> or how to edit their use a bit
[21:51] <RedScare> Ben, you'll need to google and see if there is a boot recovery tool available for XP that you can burn to disc or put to usb flash drive like I did with my Vista partition
[21:51] <alatar> what does the mistake "/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status" mean and how can I repair it?
[21:51] <J-Unit> dubby, system-->preferences-->keyboard shortcuts?
[21:51] <RedScare> it will be your only hope of diagnosing the problem
[21:52] <BenMilbo> Ok Red I'll try that.  I'll let you know how it goes
[21:52] <BenMilbo> Thanks
[21:52] <jessid> How can i create flash files in ubuntu???
[21:52] <RedScare> good luck
[21:52] <aguitel> why in diferents servers (software sorces) are diferents updates?
[21:52] <mifuyne> jessid: from an existing file?
[21:53] <Saj0577> can anyone help with mounting nfs shares?
[21:53] <Starnestommy> aguitel: each of those sources have different software
[21:53] <jessid> mifuyne no, from zero
[21:53] <dimas_> i would like to know what is the server name of hotmail in evolution
[21:53] <budluva> whats the best way of converting an .mkv to an .mp4?
[21:53] <aguitel> Starnestommy: why ?
[21:54] <mifuyne> There's mtasc: http://www.mtasc.org/
[21:54] <alatar> can someone help me plz?
[21:54] <mifuyne> but that's just a compiler
[21:54] <mifuyne> and it's more complicated than writing actionscript using Adobe Flash
[21:54] <mifuyne> because you have to write EVERYTHING in actionscript...
[21:54] <gatestone> No jessid, exteris, starnestommy, ctrl-h only works in Nautilus, not in Gtk "choose a directory" dialog!!!!
[21:55] <Starnestommy> aguitel: I'm not sure exactly why
[21:55] <jessid> gatestone ok!
[21:55] <Starnestommy> alatar: it means that ctrl1.o doesn't exist
[21:56] <Jedistorm> Hello all looking for a little help with Ubuntu. My pc locked up and I had to reboot the system. Now when it boots up the display ghost across the screen a bout 5 times. Is there any way to resolve this with reinstalling
[21:56] <mifuyne> jessid: Maybe this would allow you to create flash files in a similar fashion as Adobe Flash: http://f4l.sourceforge.net/
[21:56] <Exteris> gtk choose a directory dialog sucks
[21:56] <alatar> I understand ) but what library I must install to prevent this mistake?

[21:59] <kane77> I am resizing my partitions.. wish me good luck :D
[22:00]  * dclarke desperate
[22:00] <Starnestommy> alatar: does /usr/lib/crt1.o exist>
[22:00] <dclarke> I just installed 7.10 and at first reboot .. there is no X .. just a ttya login
[22:00] <dclarke> did I miss some step duting install ?
[22:00] <tawt> why is it when i try to go to suspend or hibernate mode for my laptop it just goes to a black screen from which i cannot return?
[22:00] <dimas_> starnetommy would you help me with evolution?
[22:01] <alatar> Starnestommy> no
[22:01] <dclarke> tawt : that sounds pretty suspended to me
[22:01] <dclarke> dammit .. this linux crap is useless .. out of here
[22:01] <dimas_> starnestommy would you help me with evolution?
[22:01] <Starnestommy> dimas_: what kind of help do you need with it?
[22:02] <geronimaldo> dimas_ that question cracked me up
[22:02] <Starnestommy> alatar: I don't know which library contains it
[22:02] <stefg> tawt: you are using the restricted nvidia-driver....
[22:02] <dimas_> starnestommy it keeps asking me for the password...no able to connect to server
[22:02] <Starnestommy> dimas_: which server are you trying to connect to?
[22:03] <meltra_>  /me thinks there is a new spam bot attacking wiki styled websites ... all my favo tuto sites ...
[22:03] <alatar> Starnestommy> thanks )
[22:03] <tawt> stefg: i'm not using nvidia
[22:03] <geronimaldo> meltra_ : what makes you think that?
[22:03] <dimas_> starnestommy i am trying to connect to hotmail...so i am not sure if putting <IP_ADDRESS> in server is correct
[22:03] <hikejinx> dimas, does hotmail even have pop access?
[22:03] <hikejinx> I think you need a hack or something for it.
[22:04] <geronimaldo> hikejinx: they charge or you can hack it
[22:04] <bastid_raZor> ompaul; yeah. go figure the guy is in here less than a minute and the world is coming to an end..
[22:04] <RedScare> tawt, because suspend hibernate doesn't always work in ubuntu
[22:04] <Saj0577> no unless u pay for hotmail the free versions can not be used with evolution outlook express etc
[22:04] <Starnestommy> dimas_: put in whatever hotmail's server address is, not <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:04] <stefg> tawt: so ok... usually it's some restricted driver which misbehaves. it needs to unloaded/reloaded to make wake up work
[22:04] <Jedistor1> Freepop for hotmal access
[22:04] <RedScare> depends on your harware
[22:04] <tawt> stefg: my graphics driver?  ati?
[22:04] <dimas_> starnestommy where i can get that info?
[22:04] <ompaul> bastid_raZor, na - he lied - very specific error - only the info was wrong ;-)
[22:04] <stefg> tawt: hmmm.. that's even worde
[22:04] <Tu13es> when using WOL, I should still get a link with the  router when powered down, right?

[22:12] <stefg> CDOG: first take a backup... then familiarize yourself with the concept of mountpoints, you might find a way to dolve the problem w/o resizing. The reason for your problemis that you cannot resize mounted partitions (and won't be able to unmount the / partition)

[22:17] <genii> chimp: You need to tell it to redirect errors to the same file and not stdout,eg: command > filename 2>&1                 will capture also the errors and not just the regular output to the same file

[22:18] <RedScare> how do I integrate the RandR extensions that xbacklight uses into gnome power manager so that the native backlight system will function?
[22:18] <balzac> I have a problem with malware on Ubuntu
[22:18] <balzac> It's called trackerd
[22:18] <webtoe> mull3t: I'm not going to ask.... webcam is what you need. It'll take pictures periodically and send them on to a webspace somewhere
[22:18] <GIn> balzac: are you serious?
[22:18] <balzac> That package needs to be eliminated from the repositories
[22:18] <Starnestommy> balzac: trackerd isn't malware, it's the program that does search idexing for tracker
[22:18] <mull3t> webtoe I want to set up a cam near my bird's cage and stream it so I can watch the bird at work
[22:19] <Pici> hmich: I see it in my ls (coreutils on 6.10-3ubuntu2 Hardy)
[22:19] <balzac> as far as I'm concerned, it is malware. It eats up all my RAM and it's hard to kill.
[22:19] <manhunt80> I have a problem with video sound. MP3 playing is fine, but I have no sound when watching Xvid in VLC player
[22:19] <webtoe> mull3t: lol., i read that differently
[22:19] <mull3t> :D i know
[22:19] <RedScare> disable search indexing?
[22:19] <balzac> It's badly designed software that consumes all my resources. I tried to turn off the indexing service to get rid of it.
[22:20] <webtoe> mull3t: look under your package manager, synaptic and look for webcam. Then look on the net at its webpage a see how to set it up. I haven't played around with it beforei but it sounds like what you need
[22:20] <hmich> Pici: I have coreutils 5.97, what's you version?
[22:20] <webtoe> mull3t: I assume you webcam is working
[22:20] <Pici> hmich: 6.10-3
[22:20] <frogduster> msg nickserv IDENTIFY fmOEn21ncx
[22:20] <balzac> It keeps coming back and the thing I resent most is that the process resists all attempts to kill it like a windows application.
[22:20] <mull3t> yeah i saw that actually it's only for images to ftp upload no video
[22:20] <Pici> frogduster: I suggest you change your password now.
[22:20] <frogduster> Yeah, I was just kidding.
[22:20] <frogduster> :-)
[22:20] <Starnestommy> balzac: even with kill -9?
[22:20] <GIn> vraagje, 1.5GB is hoeveel MB?
[22:20] <balzac> i should try it like that
[22:20] <ompaul> frogduster, so then it was offtopic
[22:20] <frogduster> Thx, though, Pici.
[22:20] <stefg> frogduster: haha! you owe 1273 paeople a beer and yourself a new password
[22:21] <frogduster> :-(  Oh noez!  ..at least there's beer.
[22:21] <balzac> I just never want to see Trackerd again in my system monitor
[22:21] <mull3t> i thought there'd be some application like windows media server or something i can use
[22:21] <balzac> I'd like to remove whatever package has it.
[22:21] <frogduster> ompaul: Yep, I suppose so.
[22:21] <GIn> 1.5 GB is hoe many MB?
[22:21] <Pici> balzac: Either diable it using bum, or tone down the indexing preferences.
[22:22] <ogre> trying to run quake4 but am getting these errors. can anyone tell me what packages i need to install http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62566/
[22:22] <Starnestommy> balzac: sudo apt-get remove tracker
[22:22] <geirha> GIn: 1500
[22:22] <balzac> thanks
[22:22] <frogduster> I did actually almost do that earlier, though.
[22:22] <webtoe> mull3t: There will be something but I doin't think windows media server would do what you want. Not over the internet, and probably not in a secure manner. But check the repos. And look for webcam support under linux generally. I've seen this stuff done before
[22:22]  * frogduster sighs at himself.
[22:22] <Starnestommy> balzac: just note that that may break things, like the deskbar applet

[22:22] <balzac> I say screw the desk-bar applet
[22:22] <mull3t> thank you sir
[22:22] <mull3t> i appreciate your help
[22:22] <webtoe> no worries
[22:22] <frogduster> ah.
[22:22] <mull3t> cheers
[22:22] <balzac> trackerd is crap
[22:23] <webtoe> its what we're all here for!
[22:23] <Starnestommy> I managed to disable it without uninstalling it
[22:23] <GIn> geirha: it is no
[22:23] <GIn> geirha: it is not
[22:23] <RedScare> balzac, can you not simply disable?
[22:23] <balzac> Starnestommy: I did too, but then it came back after I upgraded.
[22:23] <Starnestommy> balzac: did disabling it again work?
[22:23] <webtoe> blazac, don't worry too much as the kernel will shift it out of the way when you're doing something important and it will stop searching when you're thrashing the computer
[22:23] <balzac> RedScare: that package shouldn't be in the repositories. It bogged me down after the upgrade to Gutsy Gibbon
[22:23] <frogduster> Trackerd is actually quite good stuff.
[22:24] <balzac> I'm not the only one. Tracker is not suitable for inclusion in an operating system.
[22:24] <geirha> GIn: well ok, it's somewhere between 1450 and 1550, but, it is yes. Unless you are asking about GiB and MiB
[22:24] <Starnestommy> it's a ram and cpu hog sometimes
[22:24] <balzac> they should throttle its memory usage or not include it.
[22:24] <ompaul> balzac, file a bug in that case

[22:27] <Starnestommy> timo: ifconfig
[22:27] <robd> I just need the partition to grow from a boot disk automatically, after that I can handle the file system stuff
[22:27] <timo> with out looking om the client
[22:27] <Varega> timo, are you looking for the computer's IP, or the modem's IP?
[22:27] <ompaul> timo, ifconfig | grep inet\ addr:
[22:27] <robd> Basically I have to re-image 200 machines
[22:27] <RedScare> timo, IP to yourself? or all IP's given out?
[22:28] <pharoh> hey,is there a software i can use to copy an ebook that i can't download online but can read?
[22:28] <frogduster> Simpl3x: Oh.  That's not quite so complete as I imagined, but it is quite odd.
[22:28] <timo> redscare the ones given out
[22:28] <timo> so i dont have to do static
[22:28] <webtoe> robd: I'm not sure i understand what you are trying to do. You want to start an install on a machine, and get the install to automatically use all the disk?
[22:28] <frogduster> Simpl3x: Were you doing anything in there that might have caused it?
[22:29] <Simpl3x> frogduster: yea, I know I updated to the lates .15 kernel but when I rebooted it had removed everything from menu.lst so I think it did an imcomplete install of the new kernel or something
[22:29] <robd> webtoe: There's already an OS on the disk
[22:29] <webtoe> robd: If you are installing on 200 machines, install on one, make it perfect, then just copy the image of the hard drive on to the rest of the machiens
[22:29] <robd> webtoe: I just need to extend the partition to take up the entire disk
[22:29] <RedScare> hm, timo, I don't think there is a way to view a DHCP client listing without using the clients webaccess portal
[22:29] <arooni> is it ok to install a debian etch deb (privoxy) for ubuntu gutsy???
[22:29] <frogduster> hrm..
[22:29] <robd> webtoe: Most of the machines have different sized drives...
[22:29] <RedScare> possibly if you are using something like dd-wrt
[22:29] <Simpl3x> frogduster: and the menu.lst~ was the same
[22:29] <robd> webtoe: I already installed with a base image
[22:29] <robd> webtoe: I just need to make them aware of the entire drive size now
[22:29] <timo> rescare what i thout exactly
[22:30] <Pici> arooni: Why would you do that? privoxy is in the repositories.
[22:30] <alexus> howdy
[22:30] <Starnestommy> arooni: privoxy is already in ubuntu's universe repository
[22:30] <arooni> Pici, oh i didnt know that!
[22:30] <webtoe> robd: hmmm, Its probably possible as a lot of partitioning tools are command line driven, you could write a script to do it but it wouldn't be easy. I'm trying to think of an easier way to do it
[22:30] <RedScare> without a third-party firmware like dd-wrt they just aren't made to communicate that type of information except through port 80 via http interface
[22:30] <Pici> arooni: Always check first before going to external sources, theres a lot of stuff there ;)
[22:30] <timo> funny thing happend the other day, i turned off dhcp on the router. But the ip adresse were still bieng hennded out ?
[22:30] <arooni> i already installed it from a deb !!! what should i do now???
[22:30] <Lyricaldogg> Hi everyonr, i have just installed Squid and Samba.... my laptops are connected but the other can not get a internet connection from this one, can you help ?
[22:30] <arooni> a deb for etch
[22:30] <Varega> anyone got a second to help me debug my soundcard?
[22:30] <RedScare> timo, what router do you have
[22:31] <balzac> Ok, thanks for helping me get rid of trackerd
[22:31] <frogduster> Simpl3x: Ah.  I'd recommend backing up the menu.lst~, then copying it to menu.lst, then: Boot off of an older kernel, remove the latest kernel (you can check what your most recent is in synaptic), and then reinstall your latest kernel.
[22:31] <balzac> bye
[22:31] <webtoe> robd: Do the disks that have the base image have the other os on them? Or is it on another disk?
[22:31] <robd> webtoe: Any ideas?
[22:31] <timo> redscare it was not the router, but i see your piont.......
[22:31] <Pici> arooni: remove and install repo version.
[22:31] <GIn> can't wait to try Hardy stable :(
[22:31] <Lyricaldogg> Hi everyone, i have just installed Squid and Samba.... my laptops are connected but the other can not get a internet connection from this one, can you help ?
[22:31] <Simpl3x> frogduster: let me re-phrase that. Both menu.lst and menu.lst~ are the same, as in blank
[22:31] <linduxed> how do i check the version of an installed package?
[22:31] <arooni> ok awesome
[22:31] <frogduster> Simpl3x: ah.
[22:32] <clane> faggots
[22:32] <Starnestommy> linduxed: aptitude show packagename
[22:32] <frogduster> Simpl3x: Run "sudo update-grub" from the command line.
[22:32] <ompaul> !hardy | GIn
[22:32] <ubotu> GIn: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[22:32] <webtoe> linduxed: look in aptitude or synaptic
[22:32] <Simpl3x> frogduster: but it's a moot point now either way because the grub directory is no longer there so there is no grub whatsoever in stalled
[22:32] <RedScare> how do I integrate the RandR extensions that xbacklight uses into gnome power manager so that the native backlight system will function
[22:32] <GIn> omg, 24 April?
[22:32] <robd> webtoe: They've got a 10gb base image on /dev/sda1 but some disks are 250gb, others are 300gb and some others are 500gb... I want to write a script to auto extend the partition of /dev/sda1 to fill the entire drive. After that I can get the file system to recognize the extra space
[22:32] <GIn> that's so soon :-)
[22:32] <ompaul> !ot | GIn
[22:32] <ubotu> GIn: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[22:32] <timo> redscare, it was a dhcp i had install on one of my machines :P
[22:32] <RedScare> ahh
[22:32] <pharoh> hey,where can i get limewire from?
[22:33] <RedScare> i see
[22:33] <Simpl3x> frogduster: I think that worked
[22:33] <ompaul> !limewire | pharoh
[22:33] <ubotu> pharoh: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install /msg ubotu java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider /msg ubotu FrostWire as an alternative.
[22:33] <webtoe> robd: Yes I
[22:33] <Simpl3x> frogduster: wait...wait...no it didn't
[22:33] <Simpl3x> there is still no /grub in there
[22:33] <timo> i dint know it could be done lol
[22:33] <ompaul> !test
[22:33] <ubotu> Failed.
[22:34] <Simpl3x> frogduster: but I'm going to reboot anyway and see what happens because I do see some things in there that might work
[22:34] <webtoe> robd: Yes I'm sure that's possible. I can't write it for you as I don't know the commands of the top of my head to do it. But you will want to look at fdisk and maybe gparted if it has a cli option. They should allow you to a.) get a look at the partition table of the disk and b.) resize once you know the amount of space that partition needs to be resized too
[22:34] <timo> !test
[22:34] <ubotu> Failed.
[22:34] <frogduster> Simpl3x: hrm.
[22:34] <kindofabuzz> how would i view all ports in yse command line?
[22:34] <frogduster> Simpl3x: Just for safety's sake, you should probably run "sudo update-grub" and see if it gives you errors.
[22:34] <kindofabuzz> how would i view all ports in  command line?
[22:35] <webtoe> robd: It sounds like an interesting problem and part of me is intrigued to sit and write a bash script for you but it would take me too long and I'm not sure it will be what you want etc. but its more than possible
[22:35] <Starnestommy> kindofabuzz: as in internet ports?
[22:35] <Simpl3x> frogduster: I did that and it said that there was no menu.lst found, so I told it to generate one
[22:35] <frogduster> Simpl3x:  *nod*
[22:35] <webtoe> kindofabuzz: netstat will do it. Look at the man page for specifics
[22:36] <robd> webtoe: Do you know if parted can extend a partition w/o touching the filesystem?
[22:36] <kindofabuzz> ok
[22:36] <frogduster> Simpl3x: Should work, then, if there were no more errors.
[22:36] <arooni> how can i test if my privoxy/tor setup works correctly (i'm trying to telnet to http://localhost:8118 ... and i type:  telnet http://localhost:8118 ... with no results :( ... what am i doing wrong?
[22:36] <kindofabuzz> no netstat isn't what i want
[22:36] <lucas2> hey. any idea why apt-get install ubuntu-xen-server   can't find that package on a fresh gutsy install
[22:36] <lucas2> ?
[22:36] <pharoh> !limewire | pharoh
[22:36] <Simpl3x> frogduster: then I'll brb hopefully
[22:36] <dda> guys, cups fails to work (some weird permission issues), what if I apt-get remove cupsys, and install the latest stable from cups website - how to better do it?
[22:37] <webtoe> robd: Do you mean will it resize a partition? So a 500Mb ext3 partion could be resized to a 250Gb partiton and then be booted?
[22:37] <robd> webtoe: yep
[22:37] <robd> webtoe: But we have to deal with NTFS and ext3
[22:38] <JohnRobert> is there a way to make a cifs mount try to auto re-mount itself if the connection goes down?
[22:38] <webtoe> robd: Yes, shouldn't be a problem. As long as the boot flag is set on the partition (and the boot flag shouldn't be altered with resizing) then it shouldn't be a problem.Bear in mind that this is IRC and therefore not gospel
[22:38] <webtoe> !
[22:38] <webtoe> robd: are they on the same disk?
[22:38] <robd> webtoe: Some servers are Ubuntu, others are Windows
[22:38] <robd> webtoe: I want to use an Ubuntu live cd to get this done though
[22:39] <webtoe> robd: This is my understanding of filesystems regarding ubuntu and windows. Windows NT (and its brethren) do not like be shifted around much at all. If they stay in position and the linux partitions move aroudn then it should be fine. But don't hold me to that. Remember, make sure you have backups!
[22:39] <robd> webtoe: It's really fine with NTFS, I know it inside and out
[22:40] <robd> webtoe: I just need to get a tool to automatically resize the base partition
[22:40] <webtoe> robd: Then I don't think you'll have a problem. But I don't know the man page for parted etc well enough to point you in a more accurate direction sorry.
[22:41] <webtoe> robd: Unless you can find something on google, I think you'll need to write a bash script to run from the live disc that will use parted or something similar to perform the repartiioning for you
[22:41] <smithey93> hey guys, whats the best program to record video files 2 a dvd what i can play on my dvd player?
[22:41] <robd> webtoe: Thats fine, I intend to write a script
[22:42] <Johnson_> fugg. i cant get pyqt to install in usr/bin
[22:42] <webtoe> robd: k, then do you need some resources to get started or is there anythign else I can help you with? (Sorry if this wasn't quite the response you were looking for)
[22:43] <pharoh> okay...limewire won't install for me,i kepp getting an error.what do i do now?
[22:43] <spasticteapot> I'm trying to install blueJ.
[22:43] <robd> webtoe: How can I control fdisk from the command line w/o using the interactive menu thing?
[22:43] <budluva> how do i find out what version of a package is that i have installed
[22:43] <spasticteapot> Where does Synaptic put my JDK?
[22:43] <smithey93> hey guys, whats the best program to record video files 2 a dvd what i can play on my dvd player?
[22:43] <robd> webtoe: Can I just pass a "resize partition /dev/sda1 to the default max size" ?
[22:44] <lucas2> when I apt-get install xen-tools, it asks me to put my install cd back in the drive.  I don't have it anymore.  Is there a way to make it grab whatever it needs from the web?
[22:45] <pen> how to change the priority of an app permanently?
[22:45] <jcornwall> lucas2, remove the cdrom line from /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:45] <webtoe> robd: off the top of my head, sfdisk is a cli option based partition editor. Its advanced and so be careful
[22:45] <GIn> when I click on a link, the page does not update. :\ weird
[22:45] <webtoe> robd: non-interactive
[22:45] <lucas2> jcornwall: thanks
[22:45] <unlink_> when i run `sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 stop` or any other service or action, invoke-rc.d simply returns to the prompt immediately and does not actually effect its command. what's going on?
[22:45] <orlandoj> lucas2: you need to change the file source.list
[22:45] <smithey93> lucas2: you need to go to system -> admin -> software sources and bin off the cdrom, then apt-get update/upgrade
[22:45] <robd> webtoe: cool
[22:46] <unlink_> (exit code 0 fwiw)
[22:46] <webtoe> robd: but parted might be better
[22:46] <smithey93> hey, anyone know why devede would make dvds that are like, not right
[22:46] <webtoe> robd: http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/html_mono/parted.html
[22:46] <robd> webtoe: With parted I'm just trying to figure out how to get it to *not* touch the filesystem because it trashes NTFS
[22:48] <webtoe> smithey93: like how?
[22:48] <smithey93> vebtoe: its like black and the sounds muffled
[22:48] <testx> hi all
[22:48] <testx> is this a support channel ? |
[22:48] <Andrewm> what is the Virtual Machine similar to Vmware that Ubuntu supports?
[22:48] <webtoe> robd: hmmm that's probably something to do with parted's higher level nature. I'm not sure, but sfdisk should work though it can also really trash things good and proper if you bugger things up
[22:48] <smithey93> testx: yep, we support :)
[22:48] <spasticteapot> Does anyone know where Ubuntu puts the the Java Development Kit?
[22:48] <testx> thamks smithey93 well i just updated my machine again and i guess that i got something wrong here
[22:48] <webtoe> smithey93: how did you make the dvd?
[22:48] <Redian> Scunizi: FAIL xD
[22:49] <smithey93> webtoe: i just added the video file, made a menu and clicked go
[22:49] <Redian> Scunizi: Just figured I'd let you know XD
[22:49] <Smegzor> Can I delete .gconf?  Will Gnome rebuild it?  Do I need to be logged in as another sudoer first?
[22:49] <SilverDawn> anyone know of a good tool for doing id3 tagging
[22:49] <Andrewm> !vmware
[22:49] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[22:49] <webtoe> smithey93: sorry i asked a stupid quetion, did you check that the video was fine before you added it? and what programme did you use to make the dvd?
[22:49] <Andrewm> !virtualizers
[22:49] <ubotu> There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[22:49] <Smegzor> By delete I mean rename :)
[22:49] <testx> both wireless and lan are not working anymore
[22:49] <Andrewm> VirtualBox,, got it
[22:50] <smithey93> webtoe: i used devede, the weird thing is, is that it works on my old pc but not my new
[22:50] <Scunizi> Redian, arg.. if she has a windows install cd she could boot to that and go to Recovery dos prompt and run chkdsk /r or chkdsk /R or chkdsk /f. I can't remember which looks at the drive and locks out bad sectors
[22:50] <jcornwall> Smegzor, it will be rebuilt, yes, but you might to log out and kill gconfd for it to do it
[22:50] <webtoe> SilverDawn: look in the repositories. There are quite a few. look using synaptic
[22:50] <webtoe> smithey93: are you trying to watch it through a tele?
[22:50] <testx> anyone one 2.6.24-15-generic ?
[22:50] <webtoe> testx: yes
[22:51] <Smegzor> jcornwall: so reboot and log in to a terminal session then do it?
[22:51] <smithey93> webtoe: yea, on my dvd player, ive tried it on meny, and it failed on all
[22:51] <Scunizi> Redian, while there she can also do a fixmbr and maybe boot back into windows.
[22:51] <testx> got any troubles after the update \/
[22:51] <testx> |
[22:51] <webtoe> testx: what wireless card are you using?
