[07:58] <shonen> running ubuntu 8.04 with latest updates. I am having troubles installing netbeans. I get this error when I try to install the package. http://paste.ubuntu.com/21582/ I found this bug which seems very similar https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/240502 but I am stumped as to how to fix it.
[07:58] <Jordan_U> ozzloy, Not sure of it's progress or how good of a phone it is but you might look into http://wiki.openmoko.org if you want an open source phone
[07:58] <Harde_> I'm trying to get my new HD to work, it shows now this when I try to mount it
[07:58] <Harde_> http://pastebin.com/ma97fab7
[07:59] <Harde_> What now?
[07:59] <thebinz> Spudly: nope, do you have the 7600GT also?
[07:59] <ozzloy> Jordan_U: that's not open to the public right now
[07:59] <harold> grax
[07:59] <nickrud> Harde_ I'd suggest the first option listed
[07:59] <ozzloy> Jordan_U: they're "sold out" they say
[07:59] <harold> viva ubunuuuu
[07:59] <Spudly> thebinz: nope < ATI Rad 9800
[07:59] <thebinz> oic
[07:59] <harold> ubuntuuuu
[08:00] <stodan> is it possible to remove labels from personal bar in ff?
[08:00] <Spudly> harde_: you can do as the article says (run the mount command with the -o force option) - that's what I did
[08:00] <thebinz> though i continue to have a reoccurring problem with this card.
[08:00] <Harde_> Spudly: Ok, thanks
[08:00] <Spudly> Harde_:  that happened to me with an external fw drive - i think I shut down Windows without Unmounting and then that error came up
[08:00] <ozzloy> seriously though, my phone is dying, i'm off contract.  i want a phone that is just a phone and maybe a contact list and a calendar.  and i want to sync with my linux desktops.  does such a phone exist?
[08:00] <ozzloy> if so, what is this phone?
[08:01] <Zoiks> why does my flash stop working? I have a x64 installation and I all could see were grey boxes. I tried uninstalling flash, now it just keeps coming up that I need to install flash, even though it is installed again
[08:01] <stu> hi guys, sorry to be back so soon, I did what it said about playing dvds and am still getting read errors off my dvd's, which all play in the other dvd players around the house, installed xine and same thing with it
[08:01] <nickrud> Spudly you mean the labels under the buttons? right click the bar , then near the bottom there's a choice about showing text or only icons
[08:01] <Spudly> harde_: had no problems with the -o force option, and I think it even fixed the problem
[08:02] <Spudly> nickrud: not sure what you mean?? don't think it's me you need to direct that comment to...
[08:02] <Arodon> hey all. on my laptop I can run the command " xrandr --output LVDS --set PANEL_FITTING full_aspect" to make the driver preserve the aspect ratio on smaller video modes. Is there a way to set this property when the driver is first loaded? something in xorg.conf maybe?
[08:02]  * nickrud shudders about ntfs forcing
[08:02] <thebinz> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=816750 < the problem im experiencing with this card.... its really annoying
[08:02] <nickrud> Spudly though you wanted to get rid of some labels in firefox? those were the only ones I could think of
[08:02] <shonen> never mind, I just found a solution: "sudo aptitude install tzdata tzdata-java" it seems the latest version has some broken dependencies, and it reverted to an earlier revision.
[08:03] <SiegeX> is there a way to have an app remember its window location so that when i re-open it, it comes up in the same place?
[08:03] <Spudly> nickrud: no mate, not me - i'm wondering if anyone is havin GARTSize issues on Hardy. btw - forcing the mount actually worked on my system and reset the ntfs log which meant the error didn't come back
[08:03] <nickrud> Spudly yeah, I found the right guy :)
[08:03] <Flannel> shonen: Do you have hardy-proposed enabled?
[08:03] <Spudly> nickrud: all good
[08:03] <nickrud> stodan  you mean the labels under the buttons? right click the bar , then near the bottom there's a choice about showing text or only icons
[08:04] <nickrud> Spudly he was just before you in the scroll, eye drift
[08:04] <quinn> can anybody help me to upgrade the kernal of ubuntu server 8.04 . sudo apt-get dist-upgrade doesnt work
[08:04] <stodan> nickrud, on bookmark bar, i found plugin for that
[08:04] <Flannel> quinn: What errors does it give?  pastebin them
[08:04] <Spudly> nickrud: hehe - no dramas, wouldn't be the first person (or the last)
[08:04] <Flannel> quinn: actually, pastebin this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:04] <nickrud> quinn if you have -19 , you have the latest version from ubuntu
[08:04] <quinn> no errors,it just said 0 will update
[08:05] <Flannel> quinn: What makes you think you aren't at the latest then?
[08:05] <quinn> 2.6.24-17-server
[08:05] <shonen> Flannel:never mind, I just found a solution: "sudo aptitude install tzdata tzdata-java" it seems the latest version has some broken dependencies, and it reverted to an earlier revision.
[08:05] <BoltClock> how do i get grub to only display the latest ubuntu kernel? setting howmany=1 in /boot/grub/menu.lst doesnt work
[08:05] <Flannel> shonen: You said that.  Do you have hardy-proposed enabled?
[08:05] <quinn> Flannel, 2.6.24-17-server
[08:05] <Spudly> quinn: do you mean upgrade to 8.04, or just updating the kernel in 8.04?
[08:05] <Flannel> quinn: pastebin sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:05] <quinn> Flannel, i want to upgrade to -19
[08:06] <soundray> BoltClock: did you run 'sudo update-grub' after making that setting?
[08:06] <thebinz> uname -r
[08:06] <quinn> just kernel
[08:06] <kakalto> will my install screw up if I change every instance of "dapper" in my /etc/sources.list to "hardy"
[08:06] <kakalto> ?
[08:06] <Flannel> kakalto: You should use update manager
[08:06] <shonen> Flannel: not sure. netbeans is installing right now, so I cannot open synaptic to check.
[08:06] <BoltClock> soundray: nope. will do that now. although i didnt need to do that after setting timeout. does it have something to do with the # symbol?
[08:06] <generic> guys any one work on SAP gui in ubuntu
[08:06] <generic> ?
[08:06] <soundray> kakalto: most definitely yes
[08:06] <Sertse> odd
[08:06] <nickrud> kakalto and probably yes
[08:06] <Flannel> shonen: open /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:06] <Spudly> kakalto: you're fridge will be the first to go, then you're tv
[08:06] <Sertse> its won't let me on the forums
[08:06] <kakalto> Flannel: mm, I'm trying; having a little trouble =]
[08:06] <kakalto> soundray, nickrud, thanks
[08:07] <kakalto> Spudly: already gone =P
[08:07] <Sertse> nevermind, now it works
[08:07] <Flannel> kakalto: Alright, if update manager isnt working for you we can do it manually, yes.  Theres a few steps to be done before that though.
[08:07] <soundray> BoltClock: the timeout affects the behaviour of the boot loader directly. The options that start with # affect update-grub
[08:07] <BoltClock> i see
[08:07] <shonen> Flannel: no, it is not in sources.list
[08:07] <Spudly> kakalto: i tried to use update manager to go from Edgy to Hardy - i had a few X11 issues, so I re-installed Hardy from CD (backup, format, install)
[08:07] <Flannel> Spudly: You can't go from Edgy to Hardy.  You can go from dapper to hardy.
[08:08] <quinn> Spudly, i just want to update the kernel in 8.04
[08:08] <orphean> Flannel: What? Yes you can.
[08:08] <Flannel> quinn: Have you pastebinned that command yet?
[08:08] <Flannel> orphean: You have to go Edgy > Feisty > Gutsy > Hardy
[08:08] <kakalto> Flannel, Spudly, okay... Is there a webpage that just shows dapper --> Hardy upgrade, manual?
[08:08] <quinn> Flannel, it will take some time
[08:09] <orphean> Flannel: ah i see what you mean.
[08:09] <Spudly> Flannel: i was given the option to use upgrade-manager to 8.04 (which I used), so it may have been dapper - either way, had a few issues so I decided to install fresh...
[08:09] <sherkin> gordonjcp: I'm talking on #ubuntu-offtopic with micahcowan and pollie
[08:09] <soundray> kakalto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades
[08:10] <Flannel> kakalto: Its pretty simple.  Make sure you have your kernel metapackage, ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-minimal, and any other metapackages (apache2, for instance) installed.  Make sure you're up to date with dapper (that includes dapper-updates).  Disable any third party repos (hopefully none, if there are, and if they are used heavily, you'll need to evaluate their effect on the upgrade).  then change dapper to hardy in sources.list, update, and dist-up
[08:10] <kakalto> See, what I find is that it tells me everything is up to date
[08:10] <soundray> kakalto: the command line version is under "Network upgrade for Ubuntu servers"
[08:10] <Britney> nickrud, /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir was unchecked, ~/Desktop exists, I unshekd shekd the key in gconf-editor, nothings changes, any other suggestion pls?
[08:10] <Spudly> kakalto: the update-manager does do an excellent job of upgrading and bringing you back into ubuntu (considering everything that has to happen, it's a really smart tool) - i just had some X issues which weren't resolved (and just complicated) by the upgrade...
[08:11] <soundray> Flannel: dist-upgrade from dapper to hardy will break
[08:11] <nickrud> Britney did you restart nautilus?
[08:11] <Flannel> kakalto: Do you have a desktop metapackage as well?
[08:11] <Flannel> soundray: No it wont
[08:11] <Britney> nickrud, yes I do
[08:11] <soundray> Flannel: you have to do sudo do-release-upgrade
[08:11] <Optimus55> sup room
[08:12] <nickrud> Britney no, those are the only things I've had to do to switch back and forth between home as desktop and Desktop as desktop
[08:12] <Flannel> soundray: No, you don't.  And the dapper update manager is failing for a lot of people anyway.
[08:12] <kakalto>  Flannel, Spudly, cheers, I'm going to go off and give this all a go now, I'll be back if there's trouble :-)
[08:12] <Spudly> kakalto: backup your goodies first!
[08:12] <kakalto> oh, and soundray, thanks to you too =]
[08:12] <kakalto> roger!
[08:13] <Flannel> soundray: that is, u-m-core, no idea re: GUI, haven't had any problems with it that I can remember
[08:13] <bullgard4> packages.ubuntu.com does not find a program 'net-setup'. Is net-setup only available from SystemRescueCD? Where can I find a manual for the program 'net-setup'?
[08:13] <edavidburg> Is there an ETA on a fix for the prefetching issue on ubuntuforums.org?
[08:13] <Flannel> kakalto: Again, if you do have a GUI on this (I thought you said server, but could be mistaken) make sure you have your proper *-desktop metapackage as ewll
[08:13] <soundray> Flannel: there you go, but you thought you should contradict me twice
[08:13] <Flannel> edavidburg: ask in #ubuntuforums
[08:13]  * soundray shakes head
[08:13] <quinn> Flannel, thanks ,it works
[08:13] <Britney> nickrud, okay thanks anyway
[08:13] <edavidburg> Already did, no one's there.
[08:13] <Flannel> soundray: What?
[08:14] <kakalto> Flannel: nah, not server - kubuntu, actually
[08:14] <Flannel> kakalto: Ah, then make sure you have kubuntu-desktop installed as well.
[08:14] <Zoiks> why does my flash stop working? I have a x64 installation and I all could see were grey boxes. I tried uninstalling flash, now it just keeps coming up that I need to install flash, even though it is installed again
[08:14] <nickrud> oh, rhythmbox quashes my sound on highlight! wonderful
[08:16] <quinn> Flannel, 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' doesnt continue ,but 'sudo aptitude upgrade works , it update more package.
[08:17] <Spudly> nickrud: what issue r u havin with your Nvidia card?
[08:18] <nickrud> Spudly I don't use nvidia, I prefer open drivers ;)
[08:19] <Danish989> Hi all
[08:19] <nickrud> Spudly sadly, I've only had a question I needed answered answered her a couple of times
[08:19] <nickrud> s/her/here/
[08:19] <Danish989> Is there any way I can set a different wallpaper for different workstations?
[08:20] <nickrud> Danish989 there are some scripts that claim to do that; if you want to do it with compiz you have to recompile some stuff. Not trivial
[08:20] <Danish989> nickrud: I have no idea about compiling
[08:21] <Danish989> nickrud: Can't it be done within ubuntu already?   What's wrong?
[08:22] <Danish989> soundray: desktop cubes, wobbly effects, the works. Do you have a plan?
[08:22] <nickrud> Spudly Flannel is here, and others
[08:22] <Danish989> ghindo: did you install with wubi?
[08:22] <soundray> Danish989: the one that nickrud suggested
[08:22] <Danish989> soundray: wallpapoz, I presume?
[08:22] <Spudly> nickrud: probably should apologise to Flannel then shouldn't I (sorry Flannel) :P
[08:23] <Danish989> nickrud: were you talking about ''wallpapoz'' ?
[08:23] <nickrud> Spudly not as often as I would like. They did a lot in the early days, but this sucks too much time
[08:23] <nickrud> Danish989 it sucks
[08:23] <ghindo> Danish989: No, it's a clean Ubuntu 8.04 install
[08:23] <Britney> nickrud, I fixed it after changing the path on ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs next, I just want to initial it for the victim ^^
[08:23] <Spudly> nickrud: absolutely
[08:23] <Danish989> nickrud: I read somewhere that ''wallpaper-tray'' and ''drapes'' can do the same, do you know about that?
[08:23] <Flannel> Spudly: For what?  I don't knw of anything apology-worthy
[08:24] <nickrud> Britney ah! I know of that, but only vaguely.  I just want a seperate wallpaper for my seperate workstations, so if I get tired of looking at angelina jolie i switch to jessica alba on the fly
[08:25] <nickrud> Danish989 as in don't work smoothly. Like, you shift desktops, and after a visible delay they switch backgrounds, or the rotate the background on all desktops, other glitches
[08:25] <Danish989> nickrud: that just plain sucks
[08:25] <nickrud> :)
[08:25] <Danish989> nickrud: oh well, guess I'll join you guys with the wait
[08:26] <Danish989> nickrud: by the way, congratulate me, I finally have Ubuntu running and am happy with it :D
[08:26] <nickrud> congrats ;)
[08:26] <Danish989> nickrud: I dont know if you remember or not, but I've been here a million times just to get it to work, and now it finally is :)
[08:26] <Danish989> nickrud: anyway, thanks again
[08:26]  * Spudly congratulates Danish989 for adding a million lines to #ubuntu logs :P
[08:27] <Danish989> lol
[08:27] <BoltClock> welcome to freedom Danish989 lol
[08:27] <Harde_> I need help with my new internal drive, it isn't system drive, just for storage
[08:27] <alliecat> I feel like I'm walking on eggshells since I upgraded to Hardy with my wireless. Do I have to do a whole clean install to go back to Gutsy?
[08:27] <Spudly> Danish989: if you're looking for a really stressful linux experience, do a Gentoo stage 1 install
[08:28] <nickrud> alliecat yes
[08:28] <Spudly> Danish989: you will marry your ubuntu system after that
[08:28] <Danish989> BoltClock:  that makes me feel like im in the matrix or something
[08:28]  * Spudly hugs his ubuntu system
[08:28] <BoltClock> Danish989: really? i dunno i never cared about the matrix
[08:28]  * Danish989 takes his ubuntu to vegas
[08:28]  * BoltClock follows what Spudly did
[08:28] <Danish989> BoltClock: I'm just saying, that sounded really cool :p
[08:28] <nickrud> Spudly that's nothing, try lfs about 8 years ago, when you had to go find sources on sunsite
[08:28] <alliecat> So, my wireless has worked flawlessly through Edgy, Feisty and Gutsy
[08:28] <BoltClock> Danish989: lol :)
[08:28] <alliecat> using ndiswrapper
[08:29] <alliecat> and now that I'm on Hardy, it's awful
[08:29] <Spudly> nickrud: we could go back in time to the 70s and make punch cards - point is, it's painful
[08:29] <nickrud> alliecat what chip ?
[08:29] <nickrud> Spudly did that too
[08:29] <alliecat> what do you mean? amd64
[08:30] <nickrud> Spudly but you are absolutely correct
[08:30] <nickrud> alliecat no, wireless chip
[08:30] <alliecat> oh
[08:30] <alliecat> bcom umm
[08:30] <Spudly> nickrud: i think i installed slackware from floppy disks once.... i think i was single at the time (surprise surprise)
[08:30] <alliecat> 4xxx
[08:30] <nickrud> alliecat hm, that's not enough info
[08:30] <Rat409> alliecat: try lspci | grep Network
[08:31] <alliecat> 05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01)
[08:31] <Danish989> Hey, one quick question: How do I change what the background looks like while I'm rotating my 3D Desktop, switching through workstations?
[08:31] <Spudly> Flannel: have you modified your Xorg.conf on Hardy at all??
[08:31] <Spudly> Danish989: do you mean having different background images on different workspaces?
[08:32] <nickrud> alliecat I use that exact chip. remove ndiswrapper, and use system->admin->hardware driver. Do it while you are wired up to the net
[08:32] <Danish989> Spudly: Nope, I already got the answer to that (that its not possible) I mean the background to the 3D cubes, you know how its dull and gray with the cubes reflection as default ..
[08:32] <alliecat> will it not be an option to use the hardware driver while ndiswrapper is installed?
[08:32] <Danish989> Spudly: The background where the cube rotates? I have no idea how to make this question make sense
[08:32] <alliecat> because right now it isn't there
[08:33] <nickrud> alliecat you don't want ndiswrapper and the b43 drivers conflicting.
[08:33] <alliecat> i can connect wirelessly but it just dies every so often
[08:33] <Spudly> Danish989: I found a site that describes how to do it, but it doesn't work (sigh)... re: cubes, have you tried using cube Skydome or anything?
[08:33] <Spudly> Danish989: I this i know what you mean
[08:34] <alliecat> and it isn't the connection, because it happens on both that i have access to
[08:34] <Spudly> Danish989: I think rather
[08:34] <Danish989> spudly: I know right :o( I really wanted that .. oh, and I think the thing I want IS the skydome thingy ... can you just tell me in guidelines what I need to get?
[08:35] <EvolElm0> hey.. just wondering.. ive got a canon 400D does ubuntu support any .raw -> .jpeg (or similar) converters?
[08:35] <Spudly> Danish989: wish i could say i knew how - fancy a journey thru the Compiz settings manager?
[08:35] <Spudly> Danish989: fyi - my background (when i engage Rotate Cube) goes from Dark (top) to light (bottom) - it's this you want to change, right?
[08:36] <Danish989> spudly: I already looked around the compiz settings manager, and I could change the top and bottom of the cube (with image files)
[08:36] <Danish989> spudly: what I want to change is the dull gray at the complete back of the whole cube
[08:36] <Danish989> spudly: you're right, the dark top and light bottom gradient background
[08:36] <EvolElm0> found the answer to my own question :D rawstudio!
[08:36] <alliecat> nickrud: is there any way i can do the switch with ndiswrapper and the b43 drivers offline
[08:37] <alliecat> so i don't have to bring my laptop all the way across the house to connect it to the router via a wire
[08:37] <Spudly> Danish989: ok - it's not actually the cube itself you want to change (i am being picky, but for a reason) - it's the background behind the cube
[08:37] <alliecat> (i want to stay where i am now and if i go back there i'll get enticed into staying back there)
[08:37] <Danish989> spudly: yup
[08:37] <Spudly> have a look at the Compiz cube reflection plug-in
[08:37] <nickrud> alliecat you have to download some firmware for the card from the net, so you have to be wired to enable the driver I'm talking about
[08:38] <Spudly> i've got it enabled and it appears to have settings related to what we're talking about.... and if i make a subtle modification... (drum roll)....
[08:38] <alliecat> blech
[08:38]  * Spudly changes something in compiz, not knowing whether the world will end
[08:38] <nickrud> !wireless | alliecat (I think the do talk about a way, downloading some stuff ahead of time)
[08:38] <Danish989> spudly: awesomeness .. but is there anyway I can place an image there instead of a gradient?
[08:38] <alliecat> i'll do it while the person i'm trying to avoid is showering :P
[08:38] <Rat409> night all
[08:40] <mercuree> Spudly, a gentoo stage 1 install? is that where you install the base the download the tarball and so on? i got as far as trying to install xorg and quit. moved onto ubuntu :P
[08:40] <Spudly> Danish989: if i turn off the Cube Reflection plug-in, my background is completely black.... let me have a squizz....
[08:40] <Danish989> Spudly: Ive seen a lot of videos with people having image files at the back instead of that dull gradient ... I do think it's called a skydome or something of the sort
[08:41] <mercuree> i saw someone mention iceweasel just now. looked it up. i want it. im guessing i have to update my apt sources.list? the geticeweasel.org site is rather cryptic. anyone got the sources for me?
[08:42] <micahcowan> iceweasel = firefox with different branding
[08:42] <Spudly> Danish989: consensus seems to be a skydome image in the cube plug-in
[08:42] <micahcowan> and, perhaps, a little more freedom
[08:42] <ahsan> deifne more freedom
[08:42] <cybera> does anyone use transputty?
[08:42] <cybera> or any version/mod of putty 0.60 /w transparecy
[08:43] <Danish989> spudly: aaand?
[08:43] <micahcowan> ahsan, well, if you're going to use the official firefox branding, you can't really change the program much (it's brand protection: they don't want to let people hack whatever they want into firefox, and still call it that).
[08:43] <Spudly> Danish989: ...that seemed to work for me....
[08:43] <Spudly> Danish989: skydome image
[08:44] <chori> using the latest fglrx drivers for my hd2600pro card I get an fatal error and then a signal 11 in my Xorg log whenever I try to run a movie. Anyone have any ideas?
[08:44] <Spudly> Danish989: can send you screenshot if you like
[08:44] <Danish989> spudly: go ahead
[08:45] <Spudly> how should i send it to ya?
[08:45] <Danish989> spudly: it says its waiting for the transfer to begin?
[08:45] <Spudly> garrr
[08:45] <ahsan> hmm
[08:45] <Spudly> same
[08:46] <Spudly> Danish989: prob firewall
[08:46] <Spudly> Danish989: do you have another preferred method?
[08:46] <Danish989> spudly: pfft, how about email?
[08:46] <Spudly> Danish989: fine by me
[08:46] <Danish989> spudly<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:47] <Danish989> spudly: you changed the image?
[08:47] <Spudly> Danish989: added an image
[08:47] <Danish989> spudly: how?
[08:48] <Spudly> Danish989: skydome (as it apppears to be known) was blank. in Compiz settings manager, in the Desktop Cube plug-in, select the Appearance tab
[08:48] <Spudly> then open the skydome twisty
[08:48] <Spudly> then add an image in the Skydome Image boxy thingy
[08:49] <donda> when type commands on the terminal i get an error   (pratik@pratik-desktop:~$ sudo pppoeconfig
[08:49] <donda> sudo: unable to resolve host pratik-desktop
[08:49] <donda> )
[08:49] <Danish989> spudly: i believe I got kicked out
[08:49] <Spudly> email on it's way
[08:50] <donda> can any one help me
[08:50] <Spudly> Danish989: awesome - i been thinking about how to do that, but never got around to doin anything about it (lazy arse me)
[08:50] <Danish989> spudly: lol, how nice
[08:50] <Spudly> Donda: it depends on your problem - if it's chick or dude related, ask your Mum
[08:50] <Danish989> spudly: another thing, can you tell me what the bloody difference is between a Metacity and an Emerald theme?
[08:50] <ajhtiredwolf> Hey, I have linux and vista installed on my primary hard drive and xp installed on the secondary. XP is hd1,0 linux hd0,4 and vista hd0,3. XP wont boot because windows wants to be on hd0,0 how can i make it load?
[08:51] <Flannel> ajhtiredwolf: use map in grub to make it look like hd0,0
[08:51] <peter77> spudley: why can't we ask you chick questions?
[08:51] <micahcowan> Danish989, Metacity is a window-manager (the default one in Ubuntu); I don't know what Emerald is, but I'd hazard a guess it's another wm.
[08:51] <ajhtiredwolf> Flannel, map??
[08:51] <Danish989> micahcowan: thanks~
[08:51] <micahcowan> Ah, window decorator for compiz.
[08:51] <Spudly> Peter77: hey, if you want my advice i'm happy to share! :) but I can't guarantee you won't get slapped....
[08:51] <Danish989> micahcowan: yesh
[08:52] <Spudly> Danish989: If i knew that, I'd answer you in a jiffy.... isn't Emerald a Window Decorator (?), and Metacity a Window Manager?
[08:52] <Danish989> spudly: what exactly is the difference between those two? :S
[08:52] <Spudly> Danish989: .... was hopin you'd be able to answer that old boy!
[08:52] <donda> when i type sudo pppoeconfig on terminal i get an error
[08:53] <Danish989> spudly: lol, unfortunately not ... dude, I do love what your ubuntu looks like, what are you using?
[08:53] <donda> the error is sudo: unable to resolve host pratik-desktop
[08:53] <KyleK> !xen
[08:53] <KyleK> heh https
[08:53] <ajhtiredwolf> Flannel, what do you mean by map?
[08:53] <generic> hey how i send prints from JRE
[08:53] <generic> any idea?
[08:53] <peter77> Spudley: ok there's this girl I like but she's a sadistic satanist, is she worth asking out?
[08:53] <Flannel> ajhtiredwolf: in your XP entry, map (hd1) (hd0) then on the next line map (hd0) (hd1), anywhere in the entry (beginning is easiest).  Don't change the root, that's independant of mapping
[08:53] <Spudly> Danish989: which bit do you like??
[08:54] <Flannel> ajhtiredwolf: so, one per line your XP entry is summarized by: title, map, map, root(noverify), chainloader, makeactive, or something similar to that
[08:54] <ajhtiredwolf> Flannel, that will make hd1 look like 0 and hd0 look like 1?
[08:54] <Flannel> ajhtiredwolf: To XP, yeah.
[08:54] <ajhtiredwolf> Flannel, will that make the vista on the real hd0 not be able to boot?
[08:54] <donda> when i type sudo pppoeconfig on terminal i get an error .the error is sudo: unable to resolve host pratik-desktop
[08:54] <Flannel> ajhtiredwolf: No, it only affects the menu entry it's in
[08:54] <Flannel> ajhtiredwolf: (it only gets evaluated when you boot that entry)
[08:55] <Spudly> peter77: ask yourself this - is she likely to tear your head from your neck if u say "I'm hanging out with the fellaz tonight dear".... if the answer is yes, then change your address.
[08:55] <ajhtiredwolf> Flannel, oh sweet
[08:55] <Constantino> hi
[08:56] <mercuree> im running ubuntu hardy and if i do apt-cache search iceweasel i only find plugins not the actual program
[08:56] <Danish989> spudly: mainly the orange and white color scheme of the GUI?
[08:56] <mercuree> should i add debian sources to my list or what?
[08:56] <ajhtiredwolf> Flannel, so it should look like this http://pastebin.com/m525850d5 ?
[08:56] <donda> when i type sudo pppoeconfig on terminal i get an error .the error is sudo: unable to resolve host pratik-desktop
[08:56] <khin> hey why is it that when i clear the screen in bash and then dump a lot of text, some of the stuff i cleared comes back into view
[08:57] <Danish989> spudly: please be a saint and don't tell me that's the default theme (because it does look like the default theme and im new to ubuntu)
[08:57] <khin> that is really annoying
[08:57] <mercuree> peter77,  is she a linux nut by any chance?
[08:57] <mercuree> :)
[08:57] <peter77> mercuree: mac user
[08:57] <Danish989> peter77: no
[08:57] <peter77> lol
[08:57] <Danish989> lol
[08:58] <napnap> hi all
[08:58] <donda> plz ne one help me out
[08:58] <Spudly> Danish989: with the exception of the skydome image (mine), it is all default
[08:58] <legend2440> donda: check the   /etc/hosts file and make sure second line matches  /etc/hostname file
[08:58] <Danish989> spudly: thats what I was afraid of .. lol
[08:58] <Danish989> spudly: maybe thats what made me install ubuntu in the first place, how good it looks :D
[08:58] <peter77> the eternal hatred of people who use and own an apple computer
[08:58] <Watchbot07> hi yall
[08:58] <napnap> how can I mount MAC OS X  install disc ?  mount -t hfs /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom => mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0   (with and whithout -t option)
[08:59] <Watchbot07> could someone help me with wireless on 8.04?
[08:59] <Spudly> Danish989: well, GNOME (desktop thingy) is very clean - it's quite nice to use
[08:59] <Danish989> peter77: I specially hate all those mac ads where they're brainwashing the viewers
[08:59] <ajhtiredwolf> Flannel, still there?
[08:59] <Danish989> spudly: yup, it's wonderful
[08:59] <Spudly> Danish989: and with all the compiz bells and whistles, i've impressed no less than 5 people with it :)
[08:59] <Watchbot07> i can connect to the router but cant get out to the internet
[08:59] <Watchbot07> any ideas?
[08:59] <Danish989> spudly: I know, right! I've just mastered the technique of cube rotation and I shall make jaws hit the floor tommorow when I show it off to all my friends lol
[09:00] <swansk> AT WORK MUST PRINT FILE.....KOREAN CHARACTERS NOT SHOWING UP IN PRINTER OUTPUT
[09:00] <swansk> HELP!!!
[09:00] <micahcowan> Danish989, what, then 1989 ads? The idea was that the Mac was a revolution against... something. A little ironic...
[09:00] <alliecat> ok
[09:00] <swansk> I can input Korean characters.
[09:00] <aj_>  irc.hqirc.co.uk
[09:00] <Flannel> peter77, Spudly, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, or somewhere else.  Thanks.
[09:00] <swansk> Using OO
[09:00] <Spudly> Danish989: henceforth, you will be CubeRotationMan
[09:00] <Watchbot07> anyone?
[09:00] <Flannel> ajhtiredwolf: Yes
[09:00] <Spudly> Flannel: sorry, will stop now
[09:00] <alliecat> So, I uninstalled ndiswrapper
[09:00] <ajhtiredwolf> Flannel, yes that is correct?
[09:00] <Flannel> ajhtiredwolf: No.  root hd1,0
[09:00] <Danish989> micahcowan: lol, no, they have some new Mac ads  like that too don't they, where this thin actor who's playing a mac is standing next to a fat suit wearing 'pc'
[09:00] <Spudly> Danish989: i'm still trying to get some 3D games working, not havin a great deal of success tho
[09:00] <swansk> PM me is you have an idea!!!
[09:00] <alliecat> Can someone tell me how to get the correct drivers working?
[09:01] <ajhtiredwolf> Flannel, oh woops yeah, i changed that but it changed back
[09:01] <Flannel> ajhtiredwolf: The mapping only happens for the OS it boots to, not GRUB itself
[09:01]  * swansk needs help
[09:01] <richardh> \list
[09:01] <Danish989> spudly: cube rotation man it is, to the cube rotation mobile!
[09:01] <Flannel> !patience | swansk
[09:01]  * swansk can't print Korean characters for some dumb reason
[09:01] <ajhtiredwolf> Flannel, alright but other than hd1,0 everything else right?
[09:01] <Flannel> swansk: Have you tried asking in #ubuntu-ko?
[09:01] <Spudly> Watchbot07: can you get an IP from router?
[09:01] <Flannel> ajhtiredwolf: Yep
[09:01] <Danish989> flannel: there's a ubuntu-ko? how kickass is that ...
[09:01] <srizz> hello
[09:01] <ajhtiredwolf> Flannel, thnanks that is really helpful, brb gonna see if it works
[09:01] <Watchbot07> nope
[09:01] <Flannel> Danish989: There's LoCo teams all over
[09:02] <donda> legend2440:i hav got this names
[09:02] <swansk> Flannel thanks for your response.   I wasn't trying to be rude.
[09:02] <alliecat> seriously, I need help to get my wireless working :(
[09:02]  * swansk *shame*
[09:02]  * Danish989 wants his workstations to all have different wallpapers :(
[09:02] <donda> legend2440:# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

[09:02] <srizz> i've been having trouble upgrading my ubuntu, does anyone mind helping
[09:02] <donda> ok
[09:02] <Spudly> Watchbot07: and in your response, try and use my name (helps people know who you're talking to)
[09:03] <checkers> w/part
[09:03] <Spudly> Watchbot07: unless of course you're talking to everyone, then that's ok :)
[09:03] <Watchbot07> Spudly: i can see the router in the list and enter the key
[09:03] <alliecat> i need some help too. i uninstalled ndiswrapper so the drivers don't conflict, but now i can't seem to get the bcom drivers working
[09:03] <alliecat> i guess i should restart
[09:03] <Watchbot07> Spudly: then it does something but i cant get out
[09:03] <Spudly> Watchbot07: which key is this? how is your router configured?
[09:03] <legend2440> donda: paste your /etc/hostname  file in pastebin
[09:03] <legend2440> !paste
[09:03] <srizz> i went to the update manager to update to 7.0 and got an error box
[09:04] <Watchbot07> Spudly: with wep and the ssid is broadcast
[09:04] <Spudly> Watchbot07: ah ok - cool. i had to use manual configuration to get my wireless working
[09:04] <swansk> #ubuntu-ko has 6 people online and their all sleeping.  Not much help.  Ubuntuforums.org only has someone vaguely talking about this about Chinese characters but I didn't understand the haphazard work around.  For example I don't know how to output in PDF.
[09:04] <srizz> im not sure how to correct it
[09:04] <Watchbot07> Spudly: i got it to work in 7.04 but not 8.04
[09:04] <Spudly> Watchbot07: can you see the little network icon (two monitors overlapping) top-right near the time/date?
[09:05] <swansk> If I output in PDF where is the file sent to?
[09:05] <Watchbot07> Spudly: yes
[09:05] <Spudly> Watchbot07: select that (left mouse but) and select Manual
[09:05] <swansk> PMing me with any info is acceptable to me.
[09:05] <Watchbot07> Spudly: ok, thats the list where i can see the router
[09:06] <Spudly> ok, select Manual configuration
[09:06] <Watchbot07> Spudly: ok
[09:07] <Danish989> spudly: I just chose an image for the skydome, but it still doesnt show up when I rotate the cube =\ what do you think is wrong?
[09:07] <Spudly> Watchbot07: you should get a box that says "Netowrk Settings" and you should see a list under "Connections" - the first item in the list is hopefully Wireless
[09:07] <ajhtiredwolf> Flannel, thank you so much, it worked.
[09:07] <Watchbot07> Spudly: yeah its my router
[09:07] <kimmey2k3> any suggestions to GUI for truecrypt?
[09:07] <donda> legend2440:ican i change the hostname
[09:08] <Spudly> Watchbot07: so I assume the SSID is right. click on Unlock, enter your password, then select the Wireless network connection and hit Properties
[09:08] <legend2440> donda: you changed the hostname?
[09:08] <Spudly> Danish989: hmmmmm
[09:08] <donda> legend2440: no
[09:08] <Watchbot07> Spudly: i cant see it right now its a dual boot on this machine and im on win
[09:08] <swansk> Found something....How do I add all used TrueType Fonts to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4????
[09:09] <Spudly> Danish989: if you have any other settings, do they take effect ?
[09:09] <Watchbot07> Spudly: ive gone into the properties before
[09:09] <donda> legend2440: hostname is=pratik-desktop
[09:09] <srizz> can someone guide me through installing Ubuntu 8.04
[09:09] <Spudly> Watchbot07: cool - didn't want to lose you by assuming
[09:09] <swansk> srizz there might be a video online like youtube that will do that
[09:09] <srizz> i already downloaded it
[09:09] <Watchbot07> Spudly: ok
[09:10] <Watchbot07> Spudly: ive set my wep key there and have done all the type of connections
[09:10] <Watchbot07> Spudly: even tried a static ip but no dice
[09:10] <ajhtiredwolf> Are ATI cards still big trouble in linux?
[09:10] <Spudly> ESSID is correct? Password type is "WEP key (hexadecimal)"? network password is your key (without any dashes)?
[09:11] <legend2440> donda: ok you are missing two lines in the  /etc/hosts file   first line should be   <IP_ADDRESS>	localhost  and second line from top should be    <IP_ADDRESS>        pratik-desktop
[09:11] <Watchbot07> Spudly:  yeah ive done both hex and ascii, my key has spaces, could that be it?
[09:12] <Spudly> Watchbot07: hearin' ya - goto System menu, then Admin, then System Log
[09:12] <Spudly> Watchbot07: on the left, choose 'syslog'
[09:12] <Spudly> Watchbot07: remove any spaces and try again
[09:13] <Spudly> Watchbot07: i think the key has to be all hex or ascii (no dodgey bits)
[09:14] <Watchbot07> Spudly: ok, it works on win, would underscores be ok here?
[09:14] <Spudly> Danish989: did you see my q?
[09:14] <Danish989> spudly: sorry, I stepped out for a while, hold on let me scroll up
[09:15] <Danish989> spudly: what do you mean by other settings? I changed the color of the gradient previously
[09:15] <Spudly> Danish989: if you have any other settings, do they take effect immedately?
[09:15] <Danish989> spudly: yes, immediately
[09:15] <Spudly> Danish989: i'm going to assume you can open that image normally (is it a jpg? png?)
[09:16] <Danish989> spudly: Ohh, sonovab**** .. lol, I didnt tick on the square to enable skydome *embaressed*
[09:16] <Gokee2> Where is opera?  I have spent 10 min trying to figure out where my laptop gets it from!  apt-get policy on my laptop says         500 http://archive.canonical.com hardy/partner Packages.  But I can`t get it on my desktop!  First I tried copying over "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner" (ran apt-get update) but apt-get policy opera still came up empty...  So I tried copying my whole sources.list from my laptop running update
[09:16] <Gokee2> but I STILL DONAT GET OPERA!?
[09:16] <Spudly> Watchbot07: i'd stick with entering it as hex if you can
[09:16] <swansk> http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=71249&highlight=korean+asian+printing    Same problem here no solution yet.  Blaming Ubuntu not OO on the problem.
[09:16] <Spudly> Watchbot07: so I'm assuming underscores would be OK, but hey, it it barfs again remove the underscore and see if it works without it
[09:16] <donda> legend2440:thanks buddy its done
[09:16] <Spudly> Danish989: haha
[09:17] <Watchbot07> Spudly: ok, thanks for the help, i need to hit the sack, cya
[09:17] <legend2440> donda: error message gone?
[09:17] <Spudly> Danish989: man, I was gonna ask - but I thought..."naaaaah, he's a bright guy"
[09:17] <Spudly> Watchbot07: later
[09:17] <swansk> I did not have a problem with printing asian characters in Breezy.  I believe this is a relatively new issue.
[09:18] <Spudly> dang, this on-topic thing is hard... i keep goin to type and then I get the "Flannel-Eye" :P
[09:18]  * swansk is worried.  Company needs me to print Asian fonts.  I don't want to have to wipe Ubuntu and install Windows because of this.
[09:18] <alliecat> Ok, seriously, I've gotten myself into a mess now.
[09:18] <bazhang> swansk, breezy is no longer supported; consider getting a more recent version
[09:18] <alliecat> I uninstalled ndiswrapper throuth the advic eof someone here
[09:19] <bazhang> !eol | swansk
[09:19] <swansk> I am using the MOST RECENT version.  I was just commenting that Breezy didn't have this problem.
[09:19] <alliecat> got b43-fwcutter and bcm43xx-fwcutter
[09:19] <alliecat> reinstalled
[09:19] <bazhang> swansk, do you have the asian language packs installed?
[09:19] <alliecat> and my wireless card is not being recognized at all
[09:19] <szonek> hi, i have a problem with playing wav files.. when i play little bigger file (size > 100KB) with: aplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav it works fine but when i try to play shorter file, for example info.wav i get nothing ... info.wav isn't silent
[09:19] <swansk> as far as I know I do. I can view Korean fonts and INPUT THEM.
[09:19] <alliecat> i really need the help of someone who actually knows this wireless stuff
[09:19] <Danish989> spudly: lol, guess i'm just tired (can't think of anything else to blame it on)
[09:20] <bazhang> swansk, you only need Korean?
[09:20] <swansk> bazhang : right
[09:20] <swansk> bazhang : but Chinese it seems is having the same issues.  http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=71249&highlight=korean+asian+printing
[09:20] <bazhang> swansk, what font/language packs? there are separate ones for OO iirc
[09:20] <swansk> I am not sure.  I'll happily tell you if you tell me where to locate them.
[09:21] <Spudly> Danish989: so you're set now.... skydome image and all...
[09:21] <bazhang> swansk, what about opening synaptic and searching for korean, or apt-cache search korean and installing all you see
[09:21] <Spudly> Flannel: when you say off-topic, does that include jokes about configuration of ubuntu?
[09:21] <swansk> ok.  I'll try that.  To eliminate that possibility.
[09:22] <swansk> I'll be right back
[09:22] <Danish989> spudly: yup :) thanks a lot
[09:22] <swansk> PMing me is ok
[09:22] <Danish989> spudly: now the only thing bothering me is how to have a different wallpaper for different workstation ..
[09:22] <alliecat> how do you de-blacklist something
[09:22] <Spudly> Danish989: workspace?
[09:22] <alliecat> that's probably the best question
[09:22] <Danish989> spudly: yes, workspace, sorry

[09:23] <Dusti[n]> sorry
[09:23] <Danish989> spudly: did it have anything to do with compiling and then running?
[09:23] <Spudly> Danish989: no, just setting an option in gconf-editor for Nautilis
[09:24] <Spudly> Danish989: telling Nauty not to 'show-desktop'
[09:24] <Danish989> spudly: I've so far heard of 'wallpaper-tray' 'drape' and 'wallpapoz' as applications that can do what we need
[09:24] <Danish989> spudly: but according to nickruds, they all suck
[09:24]  * Spudly looks at nickruds
[09:24] <Danish989> lol
[09:24] <Spudly> nickrud: is this true?
[09:24] <bazhang> Spudly, wallpaper-tray would be what you want; wallpapoz is no longer under development iirc
[09:24] <swansk> bazhang : I am worried I will end up changing my system to Korean menus and such by installing so many KO packages :) :)
[09:25] <nickrud> Danish989 Spudly could you take this to a pm or another room, you're drowning out everyone else (and yes, I think they all suck)

[09:25] <bazhang> Danish989, never tried it sorry

[09:26] <Mo0oSaH> BitchX is not included in hardy repo?
[09:26] <swansk> bazhang : found a few packages that might help PostScript out printing, unsure....still working on it.
[09:26] <bazhang> !info bitchx
[09:26] <bazhang> Mo0oSaH, nay
[09:26] <Danish989> bazhang: what the hell is bitchx?
[09:27] <alliecat> nickrud: i think you helped me earlier. i removed ndiswrapper and i can't get the b43 and bcm43xx drivers to load now
[09:27] <bazhang> Danish989, it is a irc client that is cli (irssi is the one to use)
[09:27] <alliecat> so my card isn't recognized at all!
[09:27] <nickrud> alliecat try sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules
[09:27] <ubud> what adress book is good?
[09:27] <nickrud> alliecat do you see your driver in the driver manager?
[09:28] <alliecat> no
[09:28] <alliecat> i don't
[09:28] <nickrud> do the apt-get install
[09:28] <alliecat> i did apt-get install b43-fwcutter and bcm43xx-fwcutter
[09:28] <alliecat> already
[09:28] <alliecat> and i still don't see them there
[09:28] <nickrud> alliecat restricted modules?
[09:29] <alliecat> ffff
[09:29] <alliecat> ok, i did that
[09:29] <alliecat> do i need to reinstall the fwcutter files AGAIN now?
[09:29] <carrera> Greetings!
[09:29] <swansk> bazhang : currently installing 34 files 100+ MB of korean language stuff.  It would be great if ONE fixed this.
[09:29] <nickrud> alliecat no, check system->admin->driver manager
[09:29] <alliecat> still not there
[09:29] <bazhang> swansk, hope it does :)
[09:29] <carrera> does 8.04 support software RAID?
[09:29] <jlw> Hey guys, I suck. How do I find out if I have what kind of wine to install? Edgy/Dapper/Breezy?
[09:29] <nickrud> dang. That's all I did day before yesterday
[09:30] <nickrud> but its 0130 here, gotta get up at 0600
[09:30] <bazhang> night nickrud :)
[09:31] <nickrud> alliecat I'm around most evenings if you still have trouble.
[09:31] <swansk> bazhang : breezy didn't have this problem so just adding a package might do the trick, unless OO or Cups Printing has changed significantly
[09:31] <alliecat> 'night
[09:31] <manti> Hi guys. Is there a way for me to find out about my video card from the command line?
[09:31] <bazhang> manti, lspci
[09:31] <nickrud> good afternoon, bazhang
[09:31] <manti> thanks
[09:31] <kenny> when i click install updates button. An error occured-> E:dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configue -a' to correct the problem. E:_cache->open() failed, please report. so anyone can help me to solve this problem.
[09:32] <bazhang> kenny, run that command then
[09:32] <orphean> manti: glxinfo will tell you various gl related things as well.
[09:32] <manti> thanks.
[09:32] <bazhang> !fakeraid | carrera
[09:32] <kenny> ok, i open the terminal
[09:33] <bazhang> jlw what system are you using (gutsy, hardy)
[09:33] <manti> Now I can guess which drivers are best, without having to actually look inside the cse
[09:33] <kenny> what should i do next?
[09:33] <manti> case
[09:33] <manti> :)
[09:33] <jlw> I have no idea, I'm a  newbie. How can I find out?
[09:33] <bazhang> jlw open a terminal and type lsb_release -a (dont paste here)
[09:34] <jlw> Hardy :)
[09:35] <hfmls> hi
[09:35] <bazhang> jlw, get wine from the hardy repos then; either sudo apt-get install wine , or open synaptic and install from there.
[09:35] <hfmls> i installed beryl
[09:35] <hfmls> how do i start it ?
[09:35] <bazhang> hfmls, beryl is now compiz-fusion
[09:35] <hfmls> well, at least i think i did
[09:35] <hfmls> i did sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-bcop
[09:35] <bazhang> !ccsm | hfmls
[09:36] <hfmls> ok, installed
[09:36]  * Saj5786 Bons dias **
[09:36] <jlw> bazhang: I'm trying to follow this tutorial to install World of Warcraft, can I link it to you?
[09:36]  * swansk falls at the feet of bazhang thanking him.  thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.  I suspect xpdf-korean might have been the package that fixed it.  Unsure of course.
[09:37] <bazhang> jlw, check the appdb or go to #winehq for help with that
[09:37] <bazhang> !appdb | jlw
[09:37] <jlw> Alright, thanks
[09:37] <hfmls> btw, where can i get the latest via chrome9 drivers? (installed one that worked perfect, but want to make sure it's the latest)
[09:37] <bazhang> swansk, nicely done :)
[09:38] <TMPSAP> hi! how do you re-activate your NICS in console? I dont want to use a GUI
[09:39] <kenny> what should i do after i open the terminal.
[09:39] <legend2440> kenny: in terminal type     sudo dpkg --configure -a
[09:39]  * swansk actually likes elinks....grumbles that some sights have too many images.
[09:40] <kenny> then what i should do next.
[09:40] <cybera> does anyone know/have any experience with why after i upgraded from 7.10->8.05 that i lost a EIDE ATA/100 WD120GB disk, but my SATA disks show up in 'fdisk -l'
[09:41] <legend2440> kenny: try      sudo apt-get updates     and see if that fixed it
[09:41] <TMPSAP> hi! how do you re-activate your NICS in console? I dont want to use a GUI <-- is it possible at all? O_O
[09:42] <bhc> sudo ifconfig eth0 down
[09:43] <hfmls> !ccsm
[09:43] <legend2440> kenny: try      sudo apt-get update    and see if that fixed it   sorry thats update not updates
[09:43] <TMPSAP> bhc thanks man
[09:45] <cybera> (my box: v2.6.24-19-server; Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7); At the begining of my dmesg i see: ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found.
[09:45] <cybera> Is that a serious problem or nothing really to worry bout?
[09:47] <hfmls> hi
[09:47] <hfmls> i installed via chrome9 and now works perfect in ubuntu
[09:47] <hfmls> how can i check if i have latest version? and how can i check if 3d is working ?
[09:48] <bXi> hfmls: 3d should be checkable with glxgears i think
[09:48] <ishmael^> hi could someone help me changing my mac address?
[09:48] <ishmael^> ive read the forums
[09:49] <ikonia> ishmael^: why do you want to change your mac address
[09:49] <bXi> why would you want to change it?
[09:49] <ishmael^> and the way inserting a line in /etc/network/interfaces
[09:49] <ishmael^> does not work
[09:49] <ikonia> ishmael^: that can have reasonable complications
[09:49] <hfmls> sorry, what ?
[09:49] <ikonia> ishmael^: doesn't work ?? your mac address ?? how does it "not work"
[09:49] <ishmael^> coz of my isp
[09:49] <ikonia> ishmael^: please explain
[09:49] <hfmls> bXi,  how do i do it?
[09:49] <bXi> hfmls: open a terminal and type glxgears
[09:50] <ishmael^> my isp desires a certain mac
[09:50] <hfmls> nothing happens
[09:50] <bXi> hfmls: then i think 3d isnt working
[09:50] <hfmls> glxgears: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[09:50] <bXi> ishmael^: i somehow doubt that
[09:50] <ikonia> ishmael^: they contact your ISP and tell them your using a different mac address
[09:50] <ishmael^> but i dont want to
[09:50] <ikonia> bXi: some ISP's do tie broadband connections to specific mac addresses, it's not uncommon
[09:51] <ishmael^> i know there are ways to override it
[09:51] <bXi> ikonia: yeah but wouldnt the ISP supply a modem with a known mac address?
[09:51] <Kinch> is there anywhere on this server I could go to share my art made solely on ubuntu?
[09:51] <ikonia> ishmael^: contact your ISP and tell them you have changed your mac address, we are not here to help you get around and break your ISP's Terms and Conditions
[09:51] <ikonia> bXi: depends on the ISP

[09:51] <Sinnerman> n the whole lot.
[09:51] <ikonia> Kinch: #ubuntu-artwork
[09:51] <KyleK> haha
[09:51] <ikonia> Kinch: they would appriciate it
[09:51] <kenny> once i go into sudo apt-get update what should i do next
[09:51] <KyleK> #ifconfig $WAN hw ether 00:1B:24:CE:72:81
[09:52] <ikonia> Kinch: also there is an "art work" forum on ubuntuforums
[09:52] <Kinch> thank ikonia
[09:52] <Sinnerman> i dare say it works for menus elsewhere.
[09:52] <KyleK> well
[09:52] <KyleK> dont use my laptops mac address
[09:54] <legend2440> kenny: well if that worked ok then you can open   system>administration>update manager and check for any new updates if you want
[09:54] <zethero1> anyone here with experience in configuring a network?
[09:55] <michael__> zetherol,maybe i can help you ,what's your problem
[09:56] <Kinch> all is quiet in ubuntu artwork, for those interested check out http://rethaw.com/wp/videos to see the videos i've made using basic compiz settings
[09:56] <Kinch> and video feedback
[09:56] <jeroin> is there a howto for xen on 8.04?
[09:57] <ikonia> Kinch: thats not really appropriate for this channel
[09:57] <jeroin> because https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen seems outdated for previous versions
[09:57] <ikonia> Kinch: if -artwork is quiet, leave a message, or make a forum post on the artwork forum on ubuntu forums
[09:57] <Kinch> ikonia: my dearest apologies!
[09:57] <Exidus> \o
[09:57] <Kinch> :/
[09:58] <hfmls> i ear some noises in my 5.1 speakers
[09:58] <hfmls> and i'm not listen to any sound :S
[09:58] <hfmls> it happens in ubuntu
[09:58] <hfmls> some little clap
[09:58] <hfmls> like 10 in 10 seconds :S
[09:59] <hfmls> where can i get the latest P4M900 VIA Chrome9 driver?
[10:00] <kenny> still cannot update
[10:00] <ikonia> hfmls: be careful using ones not provided in the ubuntu repo's
[10:00] <hfmls> what da hell
[10:00] <hfmls> i pressed num lock
[10:00] <hfmls> now every time i write a caracter my pc goes bip bip bip
[10:01] <hfmls> only in xchat
[10:01] <xnv> Is there a safe way to change my user id? Even when I unlock, the user id box is grayed out in the User Settings app
[10:01] <zethero1> anyone?
[10:01] <ikonia> zethero1: anyone what ?
[10:02] <michael__> xnv,i dont think that you can change your uid
[10:02] <ikonia> zethero1: what good is saying "anyone" ?
[10:02] <civixier> May I ask snes9x-related questions in here?
[10:02] <hfmls> ikonia,  do u know where i can find it ? where can i get the latest P4M900 VIA Chrome9 driver?
[10:02] <zethero1> anyone here with experience in configuring a network?
[10:02] <xnv> michael__: You definitely can.
[10:02] <michael__> zetherol
[10:02] <zethero1> I asked already above..... :)
[10:02] <michael__> what's your problem
[10:02] <ikonia> hfmls: well, you'd either need to look in via for an xorg driver, or the xorg cvs repo
[10:02] <hfmls> i installed one that works ok.but still i dont have 3d.. via has support for ubuntu 3d now.
[10:02] <ikonia> zethero1: many people, ask the question
[10:03] <afallenhope> is there an scp GUI version?
[10:03] <michael__> xnv,how can i chang the uid?
[10:03] <xnv> michael__: The usermod command is one option, but I don't know if it'd screw things up in the rest of Ubuntu.
[10:03] <ikonia> zethero1: if someone didn't see the question saying "anyone" won't tell them what the question is, if someone doesn't know the answer saying "anyone" won't make them know it
[10:03] <zethero1> I would like to assign static ip addresses to the computers on the network....
[10:03] <ikonia> hfmls: whos says via has 3d support ?
[10:03] <ikonia> zethero1: ok, I assume they are running ubuntu ?
[10:03] <chori> I'm having problems with my xorg/fglrx config geting a fatal error and a backtrace. Google suggest it might be a bug in glibc and that recompiling libpixman with gcc 4.1 solves the problem. But how to compile? Anyone?
[10:03] <hfmls> well they released drivers 2 weeks ago for via
[10:03] <zethero1> ikonia: yes
[10:03] <hfmls> 3d
 I would like to assign static ip addresses to the computers on the network...    <-- sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS>     etc
[10:04] <ikonia> zethero1: ok, so open system --> administration -> network gui
[10:04] <michael__> xnv, you are right, thank you
[10:04] <ikonia> hfmls: who did ?
[10:04] <ikonia> hfmls: who released these drivers ?
[10:04] <michael__> zethorol, you can edit /etc/network/interfaces
[10:04] <hfmls> via
[10:04] <zethero1> ikonia: network settings?
[10:04] <ikonia> hfmls: who said these drivers have 3d support
[10:05] <michael__> and that files will keep your configs
[10:05] <ikonia> hfmls: so you'll need to get the drivers from via then
[10:05] <zethero1> ikonia: by the way 3 are on wireless and one on wired
[10:05] <ikonia> zethero1: thats fine
[10:05] <kenny> dpkg problem make me cannot update my ubuntu
[10:05] <ikonia> zethero1: they are still just network interfaces
[10:05] <hfmls> i had the lkink in windows, googlint it, 1 mnt
[10:05] <zethero1> ikonia:yep
[10:05] <ikonia> zethero1: just open the gui I told you, and assign IP addresses to the network you want
[10:06] <zethero1> ikonia: I just don't know what to put in Gateway address
[10:06] <ikonia> zethero1: what is your network gateway ?
[10:06] <zethero1> ikonia: I think the Subnet Mask is <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:06] <ikonia> zethero1: ok,
[10:06] <michael__> X,X,X,1
[10:06] <michael__> mosttime
[10:06] <ikonia> zethero1: you need to speak to the person who runs your network
[10:06] <michael__> you need to ask your network administrator
[10:06] <ikonia> zethero1: ask him what the gateway for your network is
[10:07] <zethero1> ikonia: I dunno what the gateway is ... I thought it was <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:07] <ikonia> zethero1: ask you network administrator
[10:07] <zethero1> ikonia: I run the network :)
[10:07] <zethero1> ha
[10:07] <ikonia> zethero1: come on.....
[10:07] <ikonia> zethero1: is this a home network ?
[10:07] <zethero1> ikonia: yes
[10:07] <ikonia> zethero1: right, so your gateway will mostlikley be your broad band router
[10:07] <kenny> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. <---i having this problem until cannot update my ubuntu.
[10:07] <hfmls> Tux Racer, Divx, Xvid, DVD, e até o Compiz (desktop 3D) funcionou! (após algumas configurações).
[10:07] <erin> if its your home network, why isnt DHCP set up?
[10:07] <hfmls> quoting
[10:07] <jeroin> hello?
[10:07] <ikonia> zethero1: be aware that a lot of routers won't allow use as a gateway unless they give the IP address out by DHCP
[10:08] <zethero1> ikonia: DHCP is enabled
[10:08] <hfmls> http://linux.via.com.tw
[10:08] <erin> ...
[10:08] <ikonia> zethero1: so why are you assigning static IP's
[10:08] <hfmls> ikonia,  http://linux.via.com.tw
[10:08] <michael__> hehe
[10:08] <ikonia> hfmls: why are you telling me this ?
[10:08] <zethero1> ikonia: I thought my gateway was <IP_ADDRESS> but it does not seem to work
[10:08] <michael__> ikonia,good question
[10:08] <ikonia> zethero1:  maybe because your router won't allow use as a gateway UNLESS it gives out an ip address via dhcp
[10:08] <erin> zetherol: tell it to get an IP address automatically, setting up static IP's in your situation is pointless
[10:09] <ikonia> zethero1: thats not uncommon for home routers
[10:09] <jeroin> hello? is this readable?
[10:09] <zethero1> ikonia: becasue I setup apt-cacher to connect to <IP_ADDRESS> ... but if the ip addresses keep changeing then we are in trouble
[10:09] <ikonia> jeroin: yes
[10:09] <hfmls> ikonia,  a guy said it used drivers for P4M900 VIA Chrome9 from that site: http://linux.via.com.tw  but when i go there i can't find P4M900, what do u think i should use ?
[10:09] <ikonia> zethero1: use a hostname for apt-cacher
[10:09] <Flynsarmy> If i share my M drive (an NTFS drive) will it become un-shared every time i reboot ubuntu? That seems to have been what happened
[10:09] <ikonia> hfmls: I think you should contact via or the guy who told you to use the drivers from that site
[10:09] <jeroin> Lets say i have Ubuntu 8.04 and need a VM to run FreeBSD 7 with heavy I/O on Areca, should I use KVM or Xen then? What howto should I use I found one for Xen on the official Ubuntu page but its for earlier Ubuntu versions
[10:10] <zethero1> ikonia: all the computers on the network connect to <IP_ADDRESS> .... can I change it to make them all connect to the name of my pc?
[10:10] <hfmls> ok
[10:10] <ikonia> jeroin: I'm a firm believer in kvm personally
[10:10] <ikonia> zethero1: sure
[10:10] <jeroin> ikonia: why? do you have a good howto for it for 8.04?
[10:10] <zethero1> can I pastebin the sources.list to you?
[10:10] <ikonia> jeroin: https://help.ubuntu.com search for "kvm"
[10:11] <ikonia> zethero1: why ?
[10:11] <zethero1> ikonia: well... I dunno how to make it point to my pc...
[10:11] <zethero1> ikonia: how to I find my hostname?
[10:11] <ikonia> zethero1: change the IP address to the name of your PC
[10:11] <ikonia> zethero1: "hostname" is the command, and you set it up when you installed ubuntu
[10:12] <zethero1> ikonia: hostname in the terminal
[10:12] <ikonia> zethero1: yup
[10:12] <zethero1> ok.... will try it
[10:12] <ikonia> zethero1: see if you can ping it first, to see if your router is acting as a resolver for you
[10:12] <legend2440> kenny: what were you doing when you first got that error message?  an update or installing software?
[10:12] <zethero1> ikonia: oh ... how do I do that?
[10:12] <jeroin> ikonia: i found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM but its community document, and i don't know for which Ubuntu version... it doesn't state that...
[10:13] <ikonia> jeroin: its 8.04
[10:13] <zethero1> ikonia: ping hostname ? in terminal?
[10:14] <ikonia> zethero1: thats right
[10:14] <kenny> an update, legend24440
[10:14] <tyler__> can someone help me with samba permissions....i cant change the folder names from a client pc
[10:14] <zethero1> ikonia: ok I did it and its giving me line after line of something.....
[10:14] <ikonia> zethero1: I need more info than that
[10:14] <zethero1> 64 bytes from zeth-ubuntu (<IP_ADDRESS>): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.039 ms
[10:14] <jeroin> ikonia: how do you know? on top it says The previous version of this page (which was documenting KVM for Feisty) has been moved to KVMFeisty
[10:14] <ikonia> zethero1: ok, great
[10:15] <ikonia> zethero1: are you doing that on a remote age
[10:15] <ikonia> jeroin: because I wrote part of it
[10:15] <zethero1> ikonia: remote age?
[10:15] <ikonia> zethero1: remote machine sorry
[10:15] <zethero1> ikonia: I am on my PC.....
[10:15] <ikonia> zethero1: well, you need to ping it from a remote machine
[10:15] <jeroin> ikonia: OK can you maybe add that its for 8.04 or make this clear for the reader or tell me how i should have known?
[10:15] <zethero1> ikonia: ok... from another machine on the network
[10:15] <kenny> sorry...it's install updated
[10:15] <Flynsarmy> If i share my M drive (an NTFS drive) will it become un-shared every time i reboot ubuntu? That seems to have been what happened
[10:15] <kenny> not updated
[10:16] <ikonia> jeroin: it's not actually for 8.04 specificly, it's a living document, but as 8.04 is current and the previous version was "fesity" - it can only be 8.04 as there is nothing after fesity thats not 8.04
[10:17] <ikonia> jeroin: ahh I see, it could have been gutsy
[10:17] <ikonia> jeroin: I'll look at re-wording the intro
[10:17] <TMPSAP> :/
[10:17] <jeroin> ikonia: yes, so i thought, f,g,h :) thanks!!
[10:18] <TMPSAP> this is pure hell
[10:18] <ikonia> TMPSAP: do you have a question ?
[10:18] <TMPSAP> making my wireless work in ubuntu
[10:18] <zethero1> ikonia: from another computer it says unknown host
[10:18] <TMPSAP> ikonia, yeah sort of how do you make D-Link DWL-G510 work in ubuntu (wireless)?
[10:18] <ikonia> zethero1: ok, so your router isn't acting as a dns host,
[10:18] <ikonia> TMPSAP: is it visable in the network gui ?
[10:19] <legend2440> kenny: lets try it again  in terminal type   sudo dpkg --configure -a   then when thats done type   sudo apt-get clean
[10:19] <TMPSAP> ikonia:  it was yesterday then it just vanished, apparently I have to compile my own drivers, but im getting tons of errors
[10:19] <ikonia> zethero1: login to your router and assign the mac address of your PC to a static IP, so that the PC is still served up by DHCP, however that 1 PC will get a static IP
[10:19] <ikonia> TMPSAP: who said you have to compile your own drivers?

[10:20] <hfmls> wich was the command to test 3d again pls?
[10:20] <ikonia> TMPSAP: first line of the guide "These instructions have been tested on Ubuntu 6.10"
[10:20] <ikonia> TMPSAP: are you using 6.10 ?
[10:21] <Mercuree> is there a package manager for ubuntu that can pause and resume getting a file? ive only used apt-get so far and am happy with it but would like this feature
[10:21] <Mercuree> i dont really like synaptic. not sure if it supports this or not
[10:21] <TMPSAP> ikonia no, 8.04
[10:21] <TMPSAP> ikonia, are you telling me theres a HUGE diff between gutsy vs hardy in terms of general compiling?
[10:22] <ikonia> TMPSAP: 6.10 it's gutsy
[10:22] <ikonia> TMPSAP: 6.10 isn't gutsy
[10:22] <Flynsarmy> is there a single package in apt that installs large numbers of codecs the way build-essential does for compiling?
[10:22] <TMPSAP> what? 6.10 is gutsy and its not?
[10:22] <zethero1> ikonia: I have the DSL-2640U Router/ADSL modem...... and its very different to other Netgear and Dlink units in the layout and wording of things..... so I am confused
[10:23] <Mercuree> zethero1, do you not have a manual for the router?
[10:23] <TMPSAP> ikonia: well okay, do you have a better guide?
[10:23] <ikonia> TMPSAP: 6.10 = October 2006 release - 8.04 = april 2008 release, do think there is no difference
[10:23] <xnv> Anyone know how to map uids when using automount/NFS to mount a disk over the network?
[10:23] <TMPSAP> ikonia, thats not what I said
[10:23] <ikonia> TMPSAP: not without looking
[10:23] <ikonia> TMPSAP: what did you ask then ?
[10:23] <zethero1> Mercuree: yes.... but I am not sure of what I am looking for exactly....
 ikonia, are you telling me theres a HUGE diff between gutsy vs hardy in terms of general compiling?
[10:23] <ikonia> TMPSAP: gutsy is 7.10
[10:23] <JannoTT> !xubuntu
[10:23] <ikonia> TMPSAP: how does gutsy have anything to do with this
[10:24] <zethero1> Mercuree: in the router.,,, there is an area in the Home section called LAN
[10:24] <TMPSAP> my misstake
[10:24] <zethero1> but there is nothing much in there
[10:24] <ikonia> TMPSAP: and yes, there are huge differences in the glibc, compiler, headers, kerenl version that module slops into
[10:24] <Mercuree> do you not see a static dhcp entry?
[10:24] <TMPSAP> ikonia, I see, well I guess im out of luck then, because thats the only guide ive found for my card
[10:24] <ikonia> TMPSAP: massive between gutsy and hardy, and SUPER big between 6.10 and hardy
[10:24] <VEhystrix> Anyone mind helping me, My screen fills up with SQUASHFS errors when I boot the 8.04 Live CD
[10:26] <kenny> legend 2440
[10:27] <kenny> i have done wat u said
[10:27] <kenny> what should i do next?
[10:27] <zethero1> ikonia: does Dynamic DNS sound right?
[10:27] <zethero1> The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname in any of the many domains, allowing your DSL router to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet.
[10:27] <sinan> hey all! Is there a command to know the amount of memory each process is using?
[10:28] <legend2440> kenny: ok now in terminal type   sudo apt-get update     and then   sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:28] <DJones> sinan: Try typing "top" in a terminal, that should give you that sort of information
[10:28] <zethero1> sinan: you can use the System Monitor
[10:29] <sinan> DJones: top doesn't seem ot list all the processes.
[10:30] <zethero1> sinan: there is a great GUI in System > Administration called System Monitor
[10:30] <Mo0oSaH> I accidentally added some text to be highlighted in irssi and can't find how to remove it :( anyone help?
[10:30] <sinan> zethero1: checking it out, thanks :)
[10:30] <zethero1> sinan: click on the Processes tab
[10:30] <sinan> zethero1: thanks, pretty much what i needed ;)
[10:31] <civixier> Hi! I want a custom command for the terminal that gives me the current time and date in the same window. Is this possible?
[10:32] <corsica13> date
[10:32] <corsica13> =)
[10:32] <civixier> hahahahaha :D thanks
[10:32] <kenny> ok..i'm in...it ask me do i want to continue [y/n]?
[10:32] <AshishAUS> Hi Harshal how r u mate?
[10:32] <harsshal> hi man
[10:32] <legend2440> kenny: y
[10:33] <sinan> zethero1: the info in the system monitor is not consistent with the info i get from running "free" in terminal
[10:33] <harsshal> how are you?
[10:33] <AshishAUS> So how was your day?
[10:33] <sinan> zethero1: free reports 1.4 gigs of memory used, system monitor reports 400 mb
[10:33] <AshishAUS> I am good thaks for asking
[10:33] <zethero1> does anyone know of a channel for routers etc?
[10:33] <harsshal> what do you do?
[10:34] <AshishAUS> Studing
[10:34] <AshishAUS> What abt you
[10:34] <hfmls> !ccsm
[10:34] <harsshal> working
[10:34] <zethero1> sinan: I actually use a screenlet for monitoring my RAM
[10:34] <AshishAUS> Where do you work?
[10:34] <sinan> zethero1: if i may ask, what's a screenlet?
[10:34] <civixier> Is there a way to close the terminal by pressing escape? Feels more natural that way.
[10:35] <harsshal> anybody nkow how can we login as root from login promt??
[10:35] <magical> anyone else being pm spammed by komila? D:
[10:35] <zethero1> sinan: http://www.screenlets.org
[10:35] <legend2440> harsshal: sudo -i
[10:35] <ema92> harsshal: you have to enable the root account with
[10:35] <ema92> sudo passwd root
[10:36] <kenny> thanks
[10:36] <kenny> i think i have solve the problem.
[10:36] <legend2440> kenny no problem
[10:36] <praveer_cool> why am i getting Segmentation fault when i do nvclock -h (btw, nvclock is nvidia overclocking utility), i am using Ubuntu Hardy 8.04
[10:37] <harsshal> yeah. but i'll first have to login with some other user.
[10:37] <harsshal> then in promt do that
[10:37] <harsshal> i want to login as root directly
[10:37] <ema92> then you shuld try booting Ubuntu into recovery mode
[10:37] <praveer_cool> any option passed to the console version of nvclock results in Seg fault
[10:38] <ema92> then log in as root
[10:38] <ema92> and then type that command
[10:38] <ema92> to log in as root in normal sessions
[10:38] <praveer_cool> even the nvclock_gtk reports Seg fault, i tried reinstalling both packages, but to no avail
[10:40] <Slart> praveer_cool: works here, hardy 64 bit
[10:40] <Slart> praveer_cool: are you on 32 bit?
[10:40] <rick111> is there a shortcut to minimize all windows?
[10:40] <praveer_cool> Slart, yep
[10:41] <Slart> praveer_cool: try using another repository..
[10:41] <harsshal> but still i cant login from login window.It says sys admin is not allowd to login herre
[10:41] <ema92> rick111: the show desktop button
[10:41] <praveer_cool> Slart, which one, afaik isnt it on only one repo by default?
[10:41] <doctorow> I've got a Thinkpad running Gutsy. The native internal LCD res is 1400x1050; I have an external Samsung monitor with the same native resolution. When I plug the monitor into the ThinkPad's dock and reboot, the laptop wants to drive the monitor at 1280x1024, and 1400x150 doesn't show up as an option in Gnome -> System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution
[10:41] <Slart> praveer_cool: or wait for the package maintainers to fix whatever the problem is
[10:41] <civixier> rick111 system > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
[10:41] <Slart> praveer_cool: are you using the main ubuntu repository?
[10:42] <praveer_cool> Slart, yes
[10:42] <civixier> browse the list, you can find the shortcut in there somewhere :)
[10:42] <Slart> praveer_cool: hmm.. you could try one of the mirrors.. but I doubt that will work.. I guess they get the packages from the main repos
[10:43] <hfmls> !ccsm
[10:44] <doctorow> I've got a Thinkpad running Gutsy. The native internal LCD res is 1400x1050; I have an external Samsung monitor with the same native resolution. When I plug the monitor into the ThinkPad's dock and reboot, the laptop wants to drive the monitor at 1280x1024, and 1400x150 doesn't show up as an option in Gnome -> System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution - how do I force the correct resolution on external video?
[10:46] <pvh_sa|wrk> anyone here using libpam-heimdal ?
[10:46] <kenny> updates very helpful for ubuntu?
[10:47] <zetheroo> ok ... Pidgin crashed again... did I miss anything?
[10:47] <doctorow> I've got a Thinkpad running Gutsy. The native internal LCD res is 1400x1050; I have an external Samsung monitor with the same native resolution.

[10:47] <pvh_sa|wrk> i am using libpam-heimdal - and authentication doesn't work with the latest version. compile it from source (get the source with apt-get source) and the resultant binary works fine....
[10:47] <ema92> doctorow with the Samsung monitor plugged sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:47] <ema92> that shuld work
[10:47] <kenny> i cannot see the sharing drive on workgroup :o(
[10:48] <kenny> but they saw mine
[10:48] <rick111> civixier thanks
[10:48] <rick111> thanks ema92
[10:49] <kenny> cannot see sharing drive inside workgroup but my friend saw mine sharing folder on ubuntu.
[10:49] <doctorow> ema90 -- Do I need to reboot afterwards?
[10:49] <doctorow> ema92 -- Do I need to reboot afterwards?
[10:50] <sinan> zethero1: is there a way to hide/show all screenlets with a shortcut?
[10:50] <ema92> no just restart X
[10:53] <the_eraser> hi anyone know a command to see which font the console is using? :-)
[10:53] <cybera> does anyone know what these "skge pci error 0x147" errors are about/how to fix? (Linux version 2.6.24-19-server (buildd@vernadsky) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) #1 SMP Wed Jun 4 17:16:58 UTC 2008 (Ubuntu 2.6.24-19.33-server)
[10:55] <pvh_sa|wrk> what is ubuntu-motu ?
[10:56] <civixier> how do I leave a manual in the terminal?

[10:56] <civixier> ah, thanks :D
[10:56] <Metatron^> i did a command line install from the ubuntu cd adding my own lite weight windows manager.  but now i would like to install some more components, avoiding downloading on dialup, (like open office).  how can i look at the packages on the CD and use aptitude or synaptic to install them?
[10:57] <ema92> pvh_sa|wrk: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-motu
[10:57] <hfmls> how could/can i compile via driver to latest 8.04 kernel ? :S
[10:57] <pvh_sa|wrk> ema92, thanks
[10:59] <doctorow> I've got a Thinkpad X61 running Gutsy. The internal LCD resolution is 1400x1050@60Hz. It is in a dock that is connected to an external display that has the exact same resolution. When I reboot with the monitor connected, the Gutsy ThinkPad drives the monitor at 1280x1024@60Hz. The correct resolution doesn't show up in Gnome > System -> Preferences > Screen Resolution. I just tried running the Xorg autodetect and rebootin
[11:00] <doctorow> Nevermind! It just started working!
[11:00] <doctorow> Thanks!
[11:01] <msshams> hi, when i try to apt-get install -f it says: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21592/ can you please help me?
[11:01] <gaminggeek> anyone know what package time.h is in?
[11:02] <zetheroo> can someone help me configure my router?
[11:04] <ahsan> Metatron: use apt-cdrom to add a cdrom to your sources
[11:04] <ahsan> then go for an apt-get update
[11:04] <ahsan> and install anything that you want
[11:05] <ruiboon> gaminggeek: there is a lot of such time.h this is likely to be the one that you are looking for libc6-dev: /usr/include/time.h
[11:05] <gaminggeek> that should be it thank you
[11:05] <ema92> gaminggeek: you can find more info about packages at
[11:06] <ema92> http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[11:06] <gaminggeek> ok thanks

[11:16] <PupUser> ubuntu_: did u test your hard drive?
[11:17] <ubuntu_> How test?
[11:17]  * JoaoVr Boas
[11:17] <PupUser> whats ur pc? and whats ur hard drive?
[11:17] <ubuntu_> What?
[11:18] <ubuntu_> I dont understand where you want.
[11:19] <PupUser> ubuntu_: just answer the questions
[11:19] <ubuntu_> What question?
[11:19] <PupUser> ubuntu_: read up
[11:20] <ubuntu_> What is your PC? And what is your hard drive?
[11:20] <ubuntu_> That makes no sense.
[11:21] <PupUser> ubuntu_: never mind
[11:21] <Almindor> hello
[11:22] <Almindor> is there virtualbox-kernel module package for -19 kernel somewhere? (amd64)
[11:22] <Almindor> the ones in repos are old, latest kernel is -19 but the modules require -18
[11:22] <PupUser> Almindor: last time i checked no.. so i switched to sunXVM
[11:22] <Almindor> sucks
[11:22] <PupUser> Almindor: yeah
[11:23] <Almindor> I bet the -18 would work, it's not like the kernel's THAT incompatible
[11:23] <Almindor> (IIRC -version changes are packaging?)
[11:24] <zethero1> how do I find my gateway in Ubuntu?
[11:25] <Almindor> zethero1, you mean you have a gateway but don't know it's ip?
[11:25] <zethero1> Almindor: yep
[11:26] <zethero1> Almindor: there is a Broadcast Address ... but no Gateway!?
[11:26] <Almindor> zethero1, "gateway" is a machine, it's a computer/router which provides NAT or such, you have to get it's IP address and set it
[11:27] <Almindor> I don't know of an "auto-find-gateway" tho there might be some obscure protocol
[11:27] <zethero1> Almindor: well to get into my router I go through <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:27] <Almindor> a safe bet is, if you know your own IP, that it's the network's first one, eg: if you're on <IP_ADDRESS> then it's probably <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:28] <Almindor> zethero1, that'd be your gateway then
[11:28] <zethero1> Almindor: ok.... but when I manually point a computer to that as the Gateway it fails to connect....
[11:28] <Almindor> zethero1, your ip is 192.168.1.somethign right?
[11:28] <zethero1> mine is <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:29] <Almindor> zethero1, yeah that computes.. tey to ping 1.1
[11:29] <Almindor> *try
[11:29] <Almindor> zethero1, if ping works, you need to set DNS too
[11:29] <Sinnerman> i fixed that murrine thing, by the way, it turns out there were two entries in its .gtkrc-2.0 file for gtk-icon-sizes (for two different items albeit), and that was preventing things from being read correctly. once it hit the second line, the other values defaulted.
[11:29] <zethero1> Almindor: pinging works.... how do I stop it?
[11:29] <Almindor> zethero1, DNS can be either the same as your gateway, or some obscure number really
[11:29] <Almindor> zethero1, ctrl+c
[11:29] <zethero1> ok
[11:30] <Almindor> zethero1, try to set DNS (the other tab in net settings) to the same ip
[11:30] <zethero1> Almindor: configure DNS in my router?
[11:30] <gaminggeek> anyone here with a inspiron 1525 with sound working correctly?
[11:30] <Almindor> zethero1, what's your router doing? NAT for a cable connection or such?
[11:30] <Almindor> zethero1, if so, you need to set your provider's DNS on your ubuntu machine
[11:30] <zethero1> Almindor: NAT is enabled ... DHCP is disabled
[11:31] <Almindor> zethero1, eg: in my case I got an old P120 as NAT router for 192.168.0.x network (home net), and <IP_ADDRESS> is the router's ip (so the gateway), but DNS is given to me by my ISP
[11:32] <Almindor> zethero1, so, I set gateway to the router's internal lan ip address and DNS to the provider's DNS one (on the end-user machine)
[11:32] <amantiglio> hi
[11:32] <Almindor> zethero1, there are other ways to do this but this one's simplest
[11:32] <Almindor> zethero1, I also use static IPs like you so it's virtually same setting I think (just different ip)
[11:32] <amantiglio> where can i download firefox3 deb for gutsy?
[11:32] <zethero1> Almindor: ok... maybe I should tell you the whole story ...
[11:33] <zethero1> he
[11:33] <Almindor> zethero1, go on :)
[11:34] <Dillizar> lol
[11:34] <Beats> I just deleted my main panel for another one, but i dont see my ssytem, tray icons even when i restart. ?
[11:34] <murlidhar> how to access hidden folders in home folder using the bash terminal
[11:34] <Flannel> murlidhar: just cd into them
[11:34] <amantiglio> where is firefox 3.0 deb final release?
[11:35] <murlidhar> Flannel, i am  not able to do to the hidden folders
[11:35] <Dillizar> Beats: make a new panel
[11:35] <zethero1> Almindor: I recently setup apt-cacher so that all the computers running Ubuntu on the network would connect to my machine (1.4 at the time) to get updates. This was all fina and dandy until I noticed the computers taking on different IP addresses and thereby screwing with the whole setup..... so now I am looking to setup (at least my computer) with a static IP address.,....
[11:35] <Flannel> murlidhar: yes you can, the folders name is .whatever, just cd .whatever
[11:35] <Almindor> zethero1, ok, but that doesn't really change anything about what I said about DNS :)
[11:35] <Almindor> zethero1, as for your local machine, if you set the apt-source via IP (not host) you don't need to have a DNS entry for the router itself
[11:36] <zethero1> Almindor: with previous routers I had an easy time getting around and configuring all this ... but on this particular router I am pulling my hair out
[11:36] <Almindor> zethero1, the router provides inernet connection right?
[11:36] <Almindor> zethero1, so you have 2 problems, no updates and no internet/DNS
[11:37] <zethero1> Almindor: I tried setting up using my hostname instead of ip address but the other computers were not pinging to my hostname for some odd reason
[11:37] <murlidhar> Flannel, thanks it wasn't autocompleting it , so i thought may it does work that way
[11:37] <Flannel> amantiglio: It will be in gutsy-backports eventually
[11:37] <Almindor> zethero1, they don't know the name, unless you change /etc/hosts.conf, try pinging <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:37] <poisonkiller> why cant i access ubuntu forums? it gives me this error: Prefetching is not allowed due to the various privacy issues that arise.
[11:37] <murlidhar> Flannel, thanks again
[11:37] <Almindor> zethero1, if you can ping that IP (with the gateway set to your router) you're online, but with no DNS
[11:37] <Flannel> murlidhar: it should tabcomplete, just make sure you have the .
[11:37] <Flannel> poisonkiller: #ubuntuforums
[11:37] <murlidhar> k
[11:37] <amantiglio> Flannel ..the release final?
[11:37] <murlidhar> cya guys
[11:38] <Almindor> zethero1, you could set up DNS server on the router, but I have no exp. with those
[11:38] <zethero1> Almindor: pinging worked
[11:38] <Flannel> amantiglio: It should be, yes. Right now its beta4 in backports (and alpha8 in regular)
[11:38] <Almindor> zethero1, yeah, basically what you're missing is setting the DNS on each host to your provider's DNS
[11:38] <zethero1> Almindor: how can I get the computers to ping the hostname?
[11:38] <amantiglio> Flannel...when will be the final?
[11:39] <Almindor> zethero1, add the entry to /etc/hosts.conf eg: "ROUTER <IP_ADDRESS>"
[11:39] <zethero1> Almindor: or can I just assign IP addresses to Mac addresses?
[11:39] <lusius> ey,, i need to convert a line from normal hex, to text, by console, can this be done?
[11:39] <amantiglio> now there is the b4 in synaptic?
[11:39] <Flannel> amantiglio: I don't know.  Whenever the backports team gets around to it.  Hardy already has final.
[11:39] <Almindor> zethero1, err /etc/hosts I mean
[11:39] <Almindor> for example mine is: <IP_ADDRESS> localhost
[11:39] <Almindor> <IP_ADDRESS> XERXES
[11:39] <Almindor> <IP_ADDRESS> LAMER
[11:39] <Almindor> <IP_ADDRESS> SHODAN
[11:39] <Flannel> amantiglio: its in gutsy-backports, yes.  Which isn't enabled by default
[11:39] <erUSUL> !paste
[11:40] <Almindor> come on, 4 lines
[11:40] <amantiglio> Flannel thanks...
[11:40] <amantiglio> :)
[11:40] <Almindor> zethero1, LAMER is the router :)
[11:40] <zethero1> Almindor: LAMER?
[11:40] <Almindor> zethero1, but you still need to set the provider's DNS in order to get proper hostname recognition for internet names
[11:41] <Almindor> zethero1, same goes for router's DNS
[11:41] <Almindor> zethero1, it's a P120, how would you call it? :)
[11:41] <zethero1> Almindor: ha
[11:41] <zethero1> Almindor: can I change the IP address of my machine back to 1.4?
[11:42] <Almindor> zethero1, what do you mean 1.4?
[11:42] <Almindor> zethero1, <IP_ADDRESS>?
[11:42] <zethero1> Almindor: back to <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:42] <Almindor> zethero1, sure, but each machine in the LAN has to have a unique IP
[11:42] <zethero1> Almindor: yes
[11:43] <zethero1> Almindor: I don;t undestand what I am seeing in this /etc/hosts file
[11:43] <Vixus> Hi, is there anything I can use to add files to an ISO?
[11:43] <Vixus> On Windows I used to do it with Winrar.
[11:44] <Almindor> zethero1, "hostname IP.IP.IP.IP" pairs
[11:44] <zethero1> Almindor: <IP_ADDRESS>	localhost
[11:44] <zethero1>                  <IP_ADDRESS>	zeth-ubuntu
[11:44] <Almindor> zethero1, right.. inverted :)
[11:44] <atle|f> Vixus: maby maniso
[11:44] <Vixus> ok
[11:44] <Almindor> zethero1, add <IP_ADDRESS> router to get a "router" hostname recognition
[11:44] <atle|f> *maybe
[11:44] <zethero1> Almindor: whats <IP_ADDRESS>?
[11:44] <Almindor> zethero1, or whater hostname you wish, you can have more to one ip
[11:44] <Almindor> zethero1, localhost
[11:45] <zethero1> Almindor: and why does it say my machine is <IP_ADDRESS>?
[11:45] <Almindor> zethero1, each machine is <IP_ADDRESS>, it's a loop address :)
[11:45] <WalloO> <IP_ADDRESS> = yourself
[11:45] <pvh_sa|wrk> the whole <IP_ADDRESS> block is loopback
[11:45] <Almindor> zethero1, google for localhost
[11:45] <Seras_Ubuntu> Does anyone know if there is a way to see which, if any audio/video decoders my version of ubuntu is recognising?
[11:46] <Almindor> zethero1, the /etc/hosts file is just a sort of "manual DNS", you just specify hostnames for IPs you need but are not in DNS servers
[11:46] <WalloO> Seras_Ubuntu, don'T think so, since there are libs used by several soft, and some soft with their own codec like vlc
[11:47] <zethero1> Almindor: so if I am on a machine with an ip address of <IP_ADDRESS> and I want it to ping zeth-ubuntu (<IP_ADDRESS>) I would ..... do this in the file: <IP_ADDRESS>	zeth-ubuntu
[11:48] <Seras_Ubuntu> Well, I've spent days installing all sorts of decoders/codecs.  So I'm wanting to see where I stand.
[11:48] <Almindor> zethero1, exactly
[11:48] <WalloO> Seras_Ubuntu, if you open a mp3 with the media player, it will propose you to install it.
[11:48] <atle|f> Seras_Ubuntu: did you install ubuntu/restricted/extras
[11:48] <Flannel> Seras_Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-7dc8d31ff5c7ccda3d326c0c17763853d296dc07
[11:49] <WalloO> Seras_Ubuntu, which player do you use?
[11:49] <itai-michaelson> .
[11:49] <Seras_Ubuntu> Right now, just the 'Movie player' that came with 6.06 (the version I'm running.)
[11:50] <itai-michaelson> question: after firefox 3 came out, if i download hardy now will it have the beta still?
[11:50] <Flannel> Seras_Ubuntu: Ah!  You're on dapper.  That changes some things.  Were you aware that theres a new LTS version you can upgrade to?
[11:50] <Flannel> Seras_Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-99259e1841e1e1262f4f71e0c72d5a51b3fb69e9 is the instructions for Dapper
[11:50] <WalloO> itai-michaelson, no it will be the last version, even if it's writtent rc3
[11:51] <WalloO> since rc3 and the release are the same
[11:51] <Flannel> itai-michaelson: No, the ISO will still have the old stuff, but 8.04.1 is coming out early next month, which will include updated packages
[11:51] <Seras_Ubuntu> I'm on 6.06 LTS. Actually.
[11:51] <atle|f> itai-michaelson: there are daily builds
[11:51] <Flannel> Seras_Ubuntu: yes, that's dapper.  And that last link is instructions for it
[11:52] <itai-michaelson> mmm... i get conflicting answers...
[11:52] <Seras_Ubuntu> Oh, alright. I'll read that. :P
[11:52] <itai-michaelson> is firefox 3 in the repos for hardy?
[11:52] <Flannel> Seras_Ubuntu: If you just want the mp3 stuff,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/MP3#head-929f2f9a41824e3726860dc6f810e303e1a074ae
[11:52] <Flannel> itai-michaelson: yes
[11:52] <atle|f> itai-michaelson: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/
[11:52] <HardDisk> itai-michaelson, yes.
[11:52] <itai-michaelson> Flannel- so if i still get the beta i can just update i suppose,,,,
[11:53] <Flannel> itai-michaelson: the Hardy ISO is identical to the day it was created.  FF3 (final) is in the repos, and you'll get it with your first batch of updates.  Or if you need it on the CD, you can either use daily CDs, or wait until 8.04.1 comes out at the beginning of July
[11:53] <db92> what can i do to improve the playback quality of videos? the quality here is ****(insert profane word here)
[11:54] <itai-michaelson> Flannel, very clear answer - thanks!
[11:54] <WalloO> Seras_Ubuntu, just upgrade to 8.04. However, I recommend ytou to re-install on a empty hard drive instead of using any upgrade process.
[11:54] <hfmls> guys
[11:54] <Seras_Ubuntu> Yeah? I dont' mind reinstalling at all. I just had the 6.06 LTS Disc. I'm sort of new to linux, so I bought a book!
[11:54] <hfmls> installed emerald
[11:54] <hfmls> how do i aplly themes now ?
[11:54] <Seras_Ubuntu> Which, hasn't proved very helpful. >.>
[11:55] <itai-michaelson> any chance of firefox3 making it to gutsy repos?
[11:55] <WalloO> hfmls, for me, with hardy, emerald doesn't work for an unknown reason. Instead, I instal metacity themes, and it works
[11:55] <Dillizar> db92: i think you cant do anyting about it !
[11:55] <Flannel> Seras_Ubuntu: Ubuntu has come a long way since 6.06, it's a lot more friendly, and you can upgrade from 6.06 straight to 8.04.  Or theres always reinstall, of course.
[11:55] <chalcedony> how can i unzip something called helpfiles.zip ?
[11:56] <jrib> chalcedony: unzip helpfiles.zip   (or just double click on it)
[11:56] <Flannel> itai-michaelson: alpha7 or something was shipped with it, beta3 is in backports currently, and final should be making its way to backports eventually.  I have no idea on timeframe though.  Depends on the maintainer
[11:56] <Metatron^> whats the right syntax for apt-cdrom
[11:56] <atle|f> chalcedony: you have an archive manager installed
[11:56] <WalloO> hfmls, go here for some theme: http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=101&PHPSESSID=dbffcee6a07cdef0f85a886903c0f173
[11:56] <amikrop> Hello. So, let me understand how Ubuntu handles software updates/upgrades/new-releases. For example, Wine 1.0 will be in the repos, only in Intrepid? And never in Hardy? (Wine 1.0 has been released on June 17, and now, in Hardy's repos, there is Wine 0.9.59.)
[11:56] <Seras_Ubuntu> Well, -nothing- is on this HDD, all my files are on an external drive so I may as well just do a fresh install.
[11:56] <WalloO> hm
[11:56] <hfmls> WalloO,  but after i had the theme to emerald
[11:57] <hfmls> what should i do
[11:57] <itai-michaelson> Flannel, thanks...
[11:57] <Flannel> Metatron^: `sudo apt-cdrom add`  but, if you installed from the alternate CD, the CD should already be in your sources.list, so you won't need to do that.
[11:57] <Flannel> amikrop: It'll be in hardy-backports
[11:57] <Dillizar> db92: cuz if it was posible i will download all the movies for 200mb and make them DVDs :D
[11:57] <atle|f> amikrop: it will be updated
[11:57] <Flannel> amikrop: but not everything is put into backports
[11:57] <amikrop> Flannel: Just backports? Not the "main" repos?
[11:57] <chalcedony> i prefer command line
[11:57] <Metatron^> that did it, i took the source out at one point, thnx
[11:57] <Flannel> amikrop: correct
[11:57] <amikrop> atle|f: Where? At "normal" repos?
[11:58] <mgolisch> amikrop: no why would it?
[11:58] <amikrop> Flannel: Why?
[11:58] <mgolisch> cause it would break other stuff?
[11:58] <mgolisch> all packages stay at the version they where introduced in that release
[11:58] <atle|f> amikrop: it WILL be updated later
[11:58] <WalloO> hfmls, usually, after puting your theme in emerald, clicking on the theme displayed should enable it. For me, with hardy, it doesn't work, it's why I recommand using metacity theme, and install it using "appearance" soft.
[11:58] <Flannel> amikrop: Because versions of things are frozen per release.  Only bugfixes/security updates get put into Ubuntu afterwards
[11:58] <chalcedony> wow now i have lots of *things*
[11:59] <amikrop> Flannel: But not new features?
[11:59] <mgolisch> to ensure compatibility with other packages
[11:59] <the_eraser> hi anyone know a command to see which font the console is using? :-)
[11:59] <mgolisch> amikrop: no only in abckports maybe
[11:59] <atle|f> amikrop: or get wine-doors
[11:59] <Flannel> amikrop: correct.  They'll get put into the next release (and on some packages, put into -backports)
[11:59] <amikrop> I see. OK. Thanks, guys.
[11:59] <Flannel> amikrop: in fact, the guy responsible just asked for a backports sync for wine 1 a few hours ago
[11:59] <the_eraser> anyone into fonts?
[12:00] <hfmls> are they good as emerald? WalloO  ? i liked this theme: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Soft+%26+Clear?content=66575
[12:00] <amikrop> Flannel: ;)
[12:00] <WalloO> hfmls, unfortunately, it seems there are less good theme than for emerald.
[12:00] <ninjabuntu> the_eraser: I like fonts and all but mostly for art work... why?
[12:00] <hfmls> damn
[12:00] <hfmls> why cant this work?
[12:01] <hfmls> i have 8.04
[12:01] <hfmls> and u
[12:01] <Flannel> amikrop: But, on another note, the wine people do a good job of maintaining their own Ubuntu repository.  That's definately a viable route
[12:01] <the_eraser> ninjabuntu: ok do you know how to check which font the console is using? :-)
[12:01] <Seras_Ubuntu> One thing I will say. I had a HDD that completely went dead on my Windows machine. Put it in an external enclosure. Windows still wouldn't read it. Plugged it into Linux to format it. Popped up like a charm! <3
[12:01] <Dillizar> hfmls: do ya know how to install the themes
[12:02] <kripz> how to delete all files ending with .db? rm -R *.db?
[12:02] <ninjabuntu> the_eraser: no, sorry buddy I'm pretty much a 2 week newbie... really wish i could help...
[12:02] <hfmls> no
[12:02] <hfmls> i just add them to emeral
[12:02] <hfmls> then i dont know what to do
[12:02] <Micheleee> hello
[12:02] <WalloO> hfmls, I don't know, it worked perfectly for me with 7.10 and with 8.04, it doesn't work. ho yes, one time, the theme appeared but never after... So I don't know. Maybe there are to theme managers fighting, and emerald loose most of the time.
[12:02] <Dillizar> ok hfmls
[12:02] <Flannel> kripz: assuming none of them are hidden, yes.
[12:02] <atle|f> the_eraser: try profiles in the terminal window
[12:03] <Dillizar> where are the themes saved hfmls
[12:03] <the_eraser> ninjabuntu: ok np :)
[12:03] <the_eraser> atle|f: oki
[12:03] <Micheleee> i have a problem with adesklets... when i start it, it close automatically...is it a known problem???
[12:03] <WalloO> hfmls, usualy, you have to run compiz with an option like compiz-real --replace emerald and then it may work
[12:03] <WalloO> Micheleee, use screenlet, it works well
[12:03] <Micheleee> ok..
[12:03] <Dillizar> WalloO: he doesnt know how to install them what so ever
[12:03] <Micheleee> thanks WalloO
[12:04] <Dillizar> :P
[12:04] <hfmls> To get emerald working, install the compizconfig-settings-manager package. Then go to System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings, scroll down to the Window Decorator plugin and change the command field to emerald --replace.
[12:04] <WalloO> Dillizar, he seems to say it's in emerald theme manager, but don't know how to enable it. That's my understanding
[12:04] <zethero1> Almindor: it just dawned on me that using hostnames instead of ip addresses with apt-cacher is not going to do any good anyhow
[12:04] <Dillizar> lol
[12:05] <Dillizar> WalloO: mine was that he has a new theme and dont know how to install it :D who knows
[12:05] <zethero1> Almindor: I wish I could just assign my mac address to an ip address ....
[12:05] <WalloO> Micheleee, once you install screenlets, you can give a try to my system monitor screenlet:  http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/WaterMark+system+information?content=71960
[12:05] <gordonjcp> zethero1: dhcp?
[12:05] <Micheleee> yes sure
[12:05] <Dillizar> hfmls: What do ya wanna do
[12:05] <heorshe> hi
[12:05] <zethero1> gordonjcp: dhcp is disabled...
[12:05] <Dillizar> hi
[12:06] <zethero1> gordonjcp: why?
[12:06] <Gallez> i've noticed that the ubuntu version of azureus downloads files a few times slower than the windows version. the configuration is the same in both versions. anyone know a possible explanation for that?
[12:06] <ovidiu> hi, I have a question: in Windows XP I was able to do something like this: 1. On the monitor to do that: http://home.roxe-multimedia.mobi/ovidiu/example.png 2. On the TV to see that: http://home.roxe-multimedia.mobi/ovidiu/example1.png
[12:06] <gordonjcp> zethero1: dhcp will assign IP addresses by MAC address
[12:06] <hfmls>  emerald --replace. didnt work
[12:06] <Micheleee> nice... complete infos...
[12:06] <ovidiu> it is possible to do this in Ubuntu?
[12:06] <Micheleee> i'll try to install it
[12:06] <db92> what can i do to improve the playback quality of videos?
[12:06] <zethero1> gordonjcp: can I manually pair a mac address to an ip address for good?
[12:07] <atle|f> hfmls: did you restart x
[12:07] <zethero1> gordonjcp: I mean ... I know I can becasue I did it on other routers... but this router is such a pain
[12:07] <atle|f> hfmls: ctrl alt backspace
[12:07] <Micheleee> can i use desklets application with screenlets?
[12:09] <WalloO> Micheleee, I don't think soo, but you have good applications for screenlets.  I prefer screenlet
[12:09] <Micheleee> ok thanks for your support
[12:09] <db92> Dillizar, i think youre not getting it
[12:09] <soshka> hey guys
[12:10] <db92> Dillizar, what i mean is improve the playback quality, not the video quality in the files or something
[12:10] <soshka> how do you change brightness settings in ubuntu HH
[12:10] <db92> cos i dual boot and i know that the original video quality is pretty good, simply on linux it appears a bit (insert profane word here)
[12:10] <WalloO> Micheleee, you are welcome
[12:10] <Gallez> soshka: use your monitor options
[12:11] <Gallez> soshka: i mean the buttons on your monitor
[12:11] <hfmls> its working
[12:11] <soshka> those arent working
[12:11] <Micheleee> WalloO: i have installed your app...but i can just see cpu usage..
[12:11] <Micheleee> where do i have the select all the options?
[12:11] <soshka> you see my ubuntu is very dark and i can change brightness using nvidia settings but each time i restart the settings restart
[12:11] <WalloO> Micheleee, you have to launch it several time. Then right click on each one to go to properties,
[12:12] <soshka> is there a way to make the settins stick?
[12:12] <Gallez> soshka: edit xorg.conf then
[12:12] <Gallez> that way at each boot your settings will automatically be applied
[12:12] <rubydiamond> hi ppl
[12:12] <WalloO> Micheleee, then you can configure each one to display whatever you want
[12:12] <atle|f> soshka: what video card
[12:12] <soshka> nvidia
[12:12] <inflex> Can you go from a 6.10 system straight to an 8.04, or does one have to go to 7.10 first?
[12:12] <Micheleee> ok perfetc
[12:12] <KrimZon> in hardy i'm trying to play with encfs, and i get the error "fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied" - i'm not sure if the fuse kernel module is present or enabled - does anyone know how to check and fix this?
[12:12] <massmc> Please help!!!  I turned my computer on and can't turn it back off.. I have not slept for 3 days..
[12:12] <atle|f> soshka: do you have nvidia-settings installed
[12:12] <soshka> yes
[12:13] <soshka> each time i restart the settings go back to old ubuntu settings
[12:13] <atle|f> soshka: if not, install it
[12:13] <Gallez> what file specifies grub settings?
[12:13] <WalloO> Micheleee, in howto.txt there are a few scripts to control fan speed and display more system information...
[12:13] <Riotta> massmc: sudo halt -p
[12:13] <Riotta> in terminal
[12:13] <Yumari> Due to several errors trying to install games through wine, I've decided to switch back to windows.  However, after going through the initial setup for windows (formatting to NTFS and installing setup files) my computer starts into a reboot loop.  Is windows having a hard time changing the disk format to NTFS or is it a separate issue?
[12:13] <WalloO> Micheleee, but be carefull to not burn your system... Playing with overclock and fan speed may be dangerous... :)
[12:13] <atle|f> soshka: then alt-F2 and gksu nvidia-settings
[12:13] <rubydiamond> how do I search the files using grep reverse chronologically?
[12:13] <Gallez> where can i edit grub settings?
[12:14] <jrib> Yumari: you should ask ##windows
[12:14] <ccooke> rubydiamond: you want to tell grep to search a list of files, starting at the youngest and working back?
[12:14] <WalloO> Gallez, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:14] <Gallez> WalloO, thanks
[12:14] <atle|f> Gallez: alt-F2 gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:14] <rubydiamond> ccooke: yes
[12:14] <massmc> Riotta, I tried that but it told me to get more coffee
[12:15] <hfmls> how can i merge the top bar with programs and the bottom bar with windows?
[12:15] <soshka> atle|f and what does that command do?
[12:15] <ccooke> rubydiamond: that'll be a compound command - grep can't do it on its own
[12:15] <massmc> I keep having dreams about Nelson Mandala.. tis why I dont sleep
[12:15] <ccooke> rubydiamond:
[12:15] <Riotta> massmc: use the force
[12:15] <Riotta> :P
[12:15] <WalloO> hfmls, just remove the bottom bar, then right click on the top bar and "add to panel"
[12:15] <atle|f> soshka: it will start it as root
[12:15] <ccooke> rubydiamond: (grep just takes a list of files to search - the only ordering is provided by for it)
[12:16] <rubydiamond> okay
[12:16] <atle|f> soshka: and it will stick
[12:16] <WalloO> hfmls, you can add all properties from the bottom bar to the top one like that
[12:16] <ccooke> rubydiamond: are all the files in the same directory (and can you guarantee they will always be in the same directory?)
[12:16] <rubydiamond> no.. they can also be subdirectories
[12:17] <rubydiamond> but fine they can be in same directory
[12:17] <Gallez> can i just remove an entry from /boot/grub/menu.lst if i don't want it to appear on the list?
[12:17] <ccooke> rubydiamond: and you want a newer file in a subdirectory to be processed before a file in the root of the search?
[12:17] <atle|f> Gallez: you can uncomment with #
[12:17] <massmc> massmc@massmc-desktop:~$ sudu ./use the force
[12:17] <massmc> bash: sudu: command not found
[12:18] <massmc> *frownies*
[12:18] <rubydiamond> that could be better
[12:18] <rubydiamond> yeah
[12:18] <atle|f> massmc: sudo
[12:18] <massmc> oh ok
[12:18] <bazhang> !sudo | massmc
[12:18] <massmc> i'll try that brb
[12:18] <ccooke> rubydiamond: either is possible, but there's a simpler solution for the always-in-one-directory problem :-)
[12:18] <rubydiamond> ccooke: what is that?
[12:18] <massmc> massmc@massmc-desktop:~$ sudo use the force
[12:18] <Gallez> atle|f: so if i don't want the old kernel ubuntu to appear on the list, i just put # in its entry in menu.lst?
[12:18] <massmc> [sudo] password for massmc:
[12:19] <massmc> whats my password?
[12:19] <Gallez> lol
[12:19] <jrib> massmc: the same one you used to login
[12:19] <massmc> !sudu | bazhang
[12:19] <atle|f> Gallez: yes, or remove it all togeteher with synaptic and it will be gone from the menu.lst
[12:20] <atle|f> massmc: sudo
[12:20] <Kartagis> !sudo | bazhang
[12:20] <ccooke> rubydiamond: ls -tr "directory" | while read file ; do grep "pattern" "${file}" ; done
[12:20] <massmc> kk i'll try sudo
[12:20] <bazhang> Kartagis, thanks :)
[12:20] <massmc> brb
[12:20] <rubydiamond> ccooke: thanks man
[12:20] <ccooke> rubydiamond: the more complex version will take me another minute or so :-)
[12:21] <Kartagis> !gksu
[12:21] <massmc> ubottu,  asl?
[12:22] <massmc> Factoid? How racist
[12:22] <mcquaid> kinda ot for ubuntu, but does anyone have hl2 installed for wine?  it works fine except i'm getting an error on two textures
[12:22] <Gallez> azureus on ubuntu downloads files much slower than azureus on windows. the configuration is the same. the same thing happens on transmission (so generally all torrent clients for ubuntu are slower). anyone know the possible explanation?
[12:22] <Rudd-O> guys, where's the best place to ask packaging questions?  I'm having a problem with apt-get source
[12:22] <mcquaid> i've tried flushing the cache etc but not working.  if i give someone the file names of these two, could you send them to me?
[12:23] <mcquaid> they're like 200k each only two of them.
[12:23] <jrib> mcquaid: just tell people exactly what you want
[12:23] <jrib> Rudd-O: #ubuntu-motu I guess.  But you can ask here too
[12:23] <ccooke> rubydiamond: find "directory" -printf "%A@ %p\n"  | sort -n | while read time file ; do grep "pattern" "${file}" ; done
[12:24] <enson> peter pig isn't here?
[12:24] <[newb]Miki> Hi. I had a problem with my vid card. I asked it in ATI and the guy said there is something wrong with my dri or something, and he told me to say it here. (this is a file that shows the problem or something : http://paste.ubuntu.com/21597/ )
[12:24] <Hew> mcquaid: #winehq might be a better channel for wine issues, and in that case, check AppDB
[12:24] <mcquaid> ok i need METALWALL031A.vmt/vtf and METALWALL045A.vmt/vtf if anyone has them installed
[12:24] <jrib> ccooke: no reverse? :)
[12:24] <jason__> how can i get past the mysterious 13 updates that can never seem to be updated?
[12:24] <bazhang> !appdb | mcquaid
[12:24] <GUARDiAN|office> hi
[12:24] <ccooke> rubydiamond: (that'll do it for Acccess time. change the A@ to C@ for the time the file last changed status, to T@ for modification time
[12:24] <mcquaid> ya i guess i'll try there as well, thought there might a gamer here who has it
[12:24] <ccooke> jrib: oops, yes
[12:25] <ccooke> rubydiamond: find "directory" -printf "%A@ %p\n"  | sort -rn | while read time file ; do grep "pattern" "${file}" ; done
[12:25] <Rudd-O> ok
[12:25] <Rudd-O> here's the deal, apt-get source is failing with the following error:
[12:25] <amikrop> Flannel: sure
[12:25] <ccooke> jrib/rubydiamond: It's also not the most efficient solution - but that is less easily understandable
[12:25] <Rudd-O> pkg-source: fallo: eliminar copia de seguridad de parche dbus-1.1.20/debian/patches/03_fix_inotify.patch.dpkg-orig: No existe el fichero ó directorio
[12:25] <Rudd-O> that is: pkg-source: fail: delete backup copy patch .... yadda yadda ... no such file or directory
[12:26] <Rudd-O> strace clearly shows that to me
[12:26] <jrib> Rudd-O: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying
[12:26] <Rudd-O> unlink("dbus-1.1.20/debian/patches/03_fix_inotify.patch.dpkg-orig") = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) <- this is the second-last line before the write+exit(1)
[12:26] <Rudd-O> jrib: aye aye, okay
[12:26] <Gallez> azureus on ubuntu downloads files much slower than azureus on windows. the configuration is the same. the same thing happens on transmission (so generally all torrent clients for ubuntu are slower). anyone know the possible explanation?
[12:26] <Rudd-O> so, what am I doing wrong?  why is apt-get source failing?
[12:27] <hfmls> can anybody help me pls
[12:27] <GUARDiAN|office> i'm having a strange problem, getting "fireflies" (http://somewhere.fscked.org/fireflies/) to run on ubuntu hardy: when run on itself, the fireflies-binary opens a window in which the screensaver is running - so far so good. when setting it up as screensaver, putting a .desktop in /usr/share/applications/screensaver and selecting it in gnome-screensaver-preferences, neither the preview nor the screensaver itself work. p
[12:27] <GUARDiAN|office> s shows that the binary gets executed as "fireflies -r" which is correct, but the screen stays black. any ideas what i might have done wrong?
[12:27] <hfmls> i want to apply this theme
[12:27] <hfmls> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Soft+%26+Clear?content=66575
[12:27] <Molly> away
[12:27] <Rudd-O> Gallez: I have no idea, azureus works fine on linux for me, but I prefer ktorrent.  Linux is generally superior in networking.
[12:27] <hfmls> can anybody help me
[12:27] <jason__> how can i get past the mysterious 13 updates that can never seem to be updated?
[12:28] <[newb]Miki> Hi. I had a problem with my vid card. I asked it in ATI and the guy said there is something wrong with my dri or something, and he told me to say it here. (this is a file that shows the problem or something : http://paste.ubuntu.com/21597/ )
[12:30] <mcquaid> no luck in winehq.  does anyone have hl2  installed?
[12:30] <remfarkas> hi all
[12:30] <chao1> has anyone ever installed a z800 series lexmark on ubuntu desktop?
[12:30] <Johnny_5> i have gutsy on my laptop...i recently did a reinstall because of corruption due 2 power outages...now my screen goes black n the middle of movies....i have 2 restart the comp 2 fix it...it never did that b4....
[12:30] <jrib> mcquaid: yes.  locate does not find such a file
[12:31] <Rudd-O> what sort of printer is it?  gdi?  how does it connect?
[12:31] <Johnny_5> could it be due 2 a bad install??
[12:31] <mcquaid> jrib, locate unfortunately misses files all the time.
[12:31] <atle|f> mcquaid: not at the moment, but i have played thru it with no problem before
[12:31] <Rudd-O> Johnny_5: your computer is damaged, have its hardware checked.
[12:31] <home_> my friend lost his password :D is there any uneversal pass :D or how can he hack it :D
[12:31] <Johnny_5> k
[12:31] <Johnny_5> thanx
[12:31] <chao1> my experience normally with printers in ubuntu was that it would install automatically and work. but this printer is installed but it just feeds the paper
[12:31] <bazhang> Johnny_5, try turning off compiz
[12:31] <Rudd-O> and get an ups, Johnny_5 - power outages damange computers
[12:31] <atle|f> !password
[12:32] <jrib> chao1: lexmarks are a pain.  Check to see if anyone else was able to get them to work though:
[12:32] <mcquaid> jrib, it should be under: materials/metal/
[12:32] <jrib> !printing > chao1 (read the private message from ubottu)
[12:32] <Mo0oSaH> how do you open terminal with a certain profile setting from another terminal?
[12:32] <jrib> mcquaid: where is materials? Start from Steam/
[12:32] <jrib> Mo0oSaH: man gnome-terminal   gives you the switch
[12:32] <home_> atle|f: i dont get it?
[12:33] <Johnny_5> that's what i was afraid of...
[12:33] <Rudd-O> Mo0oSaH: man gnome-terminal has the info, gnome-terminal --help more info as well
[12:33] <Mo0oSaH> jrib: umm... lol ok
[12:33] <home_> atle|f: recovery mode and to then type !sudo?
[12:33] <jrib> Mo0oSaH: do you understand?
[12:34] <atle|f> home_: thats all i know about it
[12:34] <atle|f> home_: try again in the channel
[12:34] <mcquaid> jrib, sb /hl2/materials/metal
[12:34] <atle|f> *asking
[12:34] <home_> lol
[12:34] <home_> my friend lost his password :D is there any uneversal pass :D or how can he hack it :D
[12:34] <the_eraser> anyone know a command to see which font the console is using?
[12:34] <Mo0oSaH> actually gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=Default woks better
[12:35] <[newb]Miki> Hi. I had a problem with my vid card. I asked it in ATI and the guy said there is something wrong with my dri or something, and he told me to say it here. (this is a file that shows the problem or something : http://paste.ubuntu.com/21597/ )
[12:35] <jrib> Mo0oSaH: I don't have that.  Let me start the game.  I may not have played it on wine yet
[12:35] <Rudd-O> home_:  there is a way to boot in recovery mode and set the password
[12:35] <jrib> mcquaid: I don't have that.  Let me start the game.   That will give you a single user root shell. Then you can use passwd to change your users password and when you reboot , you should be able to login as usual.
[12:37] <maniac_> man
[12:37] <maniac_> i just started using ubuntu
[12:37] <jrib> maniac_: many people.  This is a support channel for ubuntu.  Please stay on-topic.  You can chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:38] <atle|f> maniac_: !ask
[12:38] <maniac_> !ask
[12:38] <atle|f> lol
[12:38] <maniac_> lol
[12:38] <home_> atle|f: but i dont know the pass in the first place
[12:38] <maniac_> so...
[12:38] <maniac_> can anyone give some advice on what to do on ubuntu?
[12:38] <Rudd-O> home_: recovery mode doesn't ask you for a password.
[12:38] <dns53> can we please keep this channel to questions, there are chat channels for chatting
[12:39] <atle|f> home_: passwd is a command
[12:39] <maniac_> i want to get to know it better
[12:39] <home_> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[12:39] <jrib> maniac_: whatever you want to do.  Read through help.ubuntu.com to start learning
[12:39] <home_> atle|f: passwd and then ***** right
[12:39] <maniac_> where is that?
[12:39] <maniac_> nvm
[12:39] <gordonjcp> home_: if you boot into recovery mode, you're root anyway
[12:39] <atle|f> home_: i guess, never used it
[12:40] <chao1> !translate
[12:40] <chao1> !thanks
[12:40] <gordonjcp> home_: so if you lose your password you'd boot into single-user mode, and then say "passwd <username>"
[12:40] <chao1> !thanks > jrib
[12:40] <zethero1> can I restart the network devices from the terminal instead of having to reboot after a change is made in the network settings?

[12:40] <jrib> mcquaid: sorry, I don't have any of those files
[12:40] <jatt> zethero1: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[12:41] <mcquaid> hmm strange, ok thx for trying

[12:48] <atle|f> !who | donda
[12:48] <s_spiff> jrib: thanks.. but thats the old one. the latest is <IP_ADDRESS> which has become Vuze.. and has stuff changed.
[12:48] <bazhang> donda, better to get the firefox plugin for that; see extensions in firefox menu
[12:50] <WalloO> hfmls, for gtk theme, it's menu->preferences->appearaence, then click on on the button to add theme, then select your gtk theme (the tar.gz file). Then, it will ask you to enable it or not. If it doesn't ask you, go in customize, and select it.
[12:50] <Miglow> goood morning

[12:51] <atle|f> hfmls: you can even drag it over to the apperance window

[13:06] <filthpig> Hi. When I try to install ubuntu through wubi, I get as far as rebooting, organizing partitions and the actual install starts, but then at ca 15% the computer simply dies. It's an old Dell Inspiron 5150.. I suspect cpu overheating, any other ideas?
[13:06] <db92> toxic_, #ubuntu-fr
[13:06] <[newb]Miki> Hi. I had a problem with my vid card. I asked it in ATI and the guy said there is something wrong with my dri or something, and he told me to say it here. (this is a file that shows the problem or something : http://paste.ubuntu.com/21597/ )
[13:06] <derspankster> cranshinibon, what's the problem?
[13:06] <toxic_> sorry, thought i was un ubuntu-fr...
[13:06] <cranshinibon> i have a sound blaster audigy 2 zs and im using the newest version of ubuntu and for some reason my sound just wont work
[13:07] <[newb]Miki> wehre can you find a list of hardware?
[13:07] <cranshinibon> i changed it to the right sound card, my device manager isnt saying it needs anything, i unticked the audigy analog/digital output jack and still nothing
[13:07] <Accidus> Where can I find missing info files? For example, my 'info kpathsea' page doesn't exist.
[13:07] <toxic_> i'm looking for a way to access my password protected samba shared folders (passwords are in the keyring ) without having to enter the keyring password every time i try to get access to it...
[13:07] <derspankster> cranshinibon, have you tried plugging in your speakers in various outputs of your card? My old soundblaster works but I have it plugged into another port other than standard.
[13:08] <fudus9> How do i stop gnome from snapping to edge of screen when i drag a window near the erdge?
[13:08] <fudus9> it is annoying
[13:08] <filthpig> Accidus, have you tried synaptic?
[13:08] <cranshinibon> lemme try it now....i figured it wouldnt work bc it worked fine in xp under this port
[13:08] <Accidus> What, 'info synaptic'?
[13:08] <filthpig> fudus9, metacity or compiz?
[13:08] <Accidus> Doesn't work...
[13:09] <derspankster> cranshinibon, I understand, I did the same thing. Worth a shot
[13:09] <fudus9> metacity
[13:09] <filthpig> Accidus, no, you can get loads of docs for programs via synaptic, it's under system - administration
[13:09] <dns53> Accidus there are 2 manual systems, man and info, try info kpathsea
[13:09] <Accidus> Tried that dns, it doesn't work
[13:09] <cranshinibon> k just tried all of em....nothin
[13:09] <sdfdase2> oh god
[13:10] <sdfdase2> 20% signal strength
[13:10] <aantn> hello
[13:10] <aantn> !screencast
[13:10] <lololo> HEELP! i get this error http://fpaste.org/paste/2899 when i launch firefox
[13:11] <fudus9> No manual entry for strftime how do i get that manfile
[13:11] <lololo> My homepage is http://games.inbox.lv
[13:11] <Accidus> filthpig: Erm, I'm a bit new to Ubuntu, I'm using Kubuntu. What did you mean by 'system - administartion'?
[13:12] <Kartagis> lololo: did you recently update it?
[13:12] <derspankster> cranshinibon, OK, have you double-clicked your volume control to see if you have the soundblaster enabled? Also, check to see if if you have all the sliders enabled and up close to max. PCM and Wave
[13:12] <filthpig> Accidus, oh, I thought you were using the GNOME version of ubuntu. Er, I'm not sure about kubuntu, havent used it for years
[13:12] <Dexical> filthpig: what is he trying to do?
[13:13] <filthpig> Accidus, pop up a terminal (Konsole) and type "kdesu synaptic"
[13:13] <Accidus> I'm looking for kpathsea info page.
[13:13] <filthpig> Dexical, start synaptic :P
[13:13] <cranshinibon> yea is enabled as wel as having everything else all the way up...however there is no wave bar under the preferences
[13:13] <Tophat> ive got an issue with my BCM4318 (bcm43xx) i've got it working once with ndiswrapper and now it wont work. at all.  any suggestions?
[13:13] <Accidus> Hmm... I don't think I have synaptic installed.
[13:13] <Dexical> I think kubuntu uses adept, and another simpler interface for apt, Accidus?
[13:14] <Dexical> Adept rather than synaptic
[13:14] <filthpig> okay
[13:14] <filthpig> Accidus, try kdesu adept, then
[13:14] <Dexical> K icon -> System -> adept
[13:14] <fudus9> How do i stop gnome from snapping to edge of screen when i drag a window near the edge in metacity? ubuntu 8.04
[13:14] <Accidus> adept's on
[13:14] <Accidus> What should I search for?
[13:14] <Accidus> kpathsea?
[13:14] <filthpig> Accidus, yeah, or kpathsea info
[13:14] <filthpig> just see what pops up
[13:15] <Accidus> Already done that. It just gives me the libkpathsea package, which is already installed
[13:15] <derspankster> cranshinibon, well, my card is ancient so it still has a wave slider. Do you have a sound card on your motherboard? If so, have you disabled it in your bios?
