[18:11] <unop> mohanohi, sudo aptitude remove libquicktime=version
[18:12] <bullgard4> There are two packages installed: mail-notification and mail-notification-evolution. Still there is no plugin entry 'Mail Notification' to be seen in the list Evolution > Edit > Plugins > Plugin Manager. Why is that so?
[18:12] <bernz> mohanohi, i don't know specifically for quicktime, but look for a file "INSTALL" or similar; it should contain the specific instructions to install and uninstall
[18:12] <ftab_> when I run an OpenGL application I get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/123458/
[18:12] <tozetre> unop: sweet, I'll try that. Thanks very much.
[18:12] <bernz> (it might be as simple as 'sudo apt-get -r libquicktime' or similar)
[18:12] <Hakume> nevermind.
[18:13] <teeless> frog_: maybe give a try to gscan2pdf, it supports ocr and is very nice tool :)
[18:13] <scout_> this is the way the world ends; not with a bang, but a whimper.
[18:14] <static07> Hi, I've just installed 8.10, but I have no network, when I change eth0 to manual, it resets to auto on reboot, /etc/network/interfaces has no eth0 settings in it. When I manually ad the settings in interfaces, nothing changes
[18:14] <sebsebseb> static07: hardwired or wireless?
[18:14] <static07> hard
[18:15] <sebsebseb> !network
[18:15] <satansaunt> where would i got to find the keyboard shortcuts for audacious- i used to know them but i forgot and i can't find them online (most annoying)
[18:15] <bernz> static07, i guess you are using "network manager"?
[18:16] <static07> aye, fresh install
[18:16] <ftab_> static07: google Wicd Network Manager that will solve your problem as that solved mine :)
[18:16] <bernz> static07, i know it's not the "easy" answer, but: http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/
[18:17] <bernz> from their homesite, you can probably figure out which "magic" files its using to store your connection profiles
[18:17] <Dr_willis_AAO> wicd is handy.
[18:17] <n2diy> I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas?
[18:17] <bernz> and then hack those
[18:17] <bernz> its -> it's (for BtAF)
[18:17] <tozetre> unop: hokay, so, uh... in an ftp client (using yafc just for example), is there any way to access shell variables, such as that defined date?
[18:18] <Nevis> My intrepid is booting into low graphics mode after installing nvidia 180.35 driver. how can I remove it?
[18:19] <sebsebseb> Nevis: remove the driver?
[18:19] <Nevis> how does one go about that? installation wasn't with synaptic, i used the script from nvidia
[18:20] <Nevis> the intrepid repo has 180.11
[18:20] <sebsebseb> Nevis: ok maybe you can disable  or remove it from hardware drivers, if not   using  the recovery mode from Grub and fixing xorg should do the trick
[18:20] <Nevis> which I had before the attempt.
[18:20] <Dr_willis_AAO> I wonder what reinstalling the repo version would do..
[18:20] <Nevis> I know recovery mode, how do you "fix xorg"?
[18:20] <sebsebseb> Nevis: choose it as the option in there
[18:21] <Nevis> should I try reinstalling the repo version?
[18:21] <_DEL> anyone know of a good tutorial to compile a wireless driver?
[18:21] <sebsebseb> Nevis: could do, but  probably best to try and get a clean no drivers xorg
[18:21] <Dr_willis_AAO> !compile
[18:21] <sebsebseb> Nevis: before putting repo version on
[18:21] <slabbeh> Hi, do we know if Jaunty (9.04) will be shipped with Gnome 3 (2.3)?
[18:21] <Nevis> ok. how do I get that clean xorg going?
[18:22] <sebsebseb> slabbeh: wrong channel try #ubuntu+1
[18:22] <paddysteed> i have a load of avi divx movies that i need to convert into  mpeg4 for my portable dvd player which needs avi's but encoded with mpeg4. any help?
[18:22] <Nevis> what do I do after booting into recovery mode?
[18:22] <unop> tozetre, hmm, i'm not sure
[18:22] <defrysk> _DEL, http://wireless.kernel.org/
[18:22] <sebsebseb> Nevis: by using recovery mode an fixing xorg with it
[18:22] <tozetre> unop: oh damn. I could just use SCP. Never mind my foolishness. :P
[18:22] <bernz> Nevis, it might be worth a look at the current one; if it contains settings for various resolutions, maybe some are just missing, and you can add them yourself...
[18:22] <sebsebseb> Nevis: recovery mode  gives options and provides commands
[18:22] <Nevis> ok. I'll go try.
[18:22] <Nevis> thanks.
[18:23] <paddysteed> i have a load of avi divx movies that i need to convert into  mpeg4 for my portable dvd player which needs avi's but encoded with mpeg4. any help?
[18:23] <unop> tozetre, if it's FTP, i would do.  wget "ftp://somewhere/$date.tar.gz"
[18:23] <defrysk> paddysteed, man ffmpeg
[18:23] <sebsebseb> !conversation
[18:23] <Dr_willis_AAO> paddysteed,  winff can do that in a nice gui.. or mencoder. or ffmpeg.  -
[18:23] <sebsebseb> !multimedia
[18:23] <sebsebseb> !ogg
[18:23] <Dr_willis_AAO> I thought divx was a mpeg4 variant.
[18:24] <Dr_willis_AAO> or just mpeg4+ some extra bits. But i may be wrong.
[18:24] <paddysteed> i dont know but the player wont accsept it
[18:24] <satansaunt> whats the keyboard shortcut to change volume in audacious????
[18:24] <paddysteed> my spelling bad
[18:24] <paddysteed> and appenently grammer
[18:24] <satansaunt> grammar
[18:24] <paddysteed> kk
[18:24] <Dr_willis_AAO> paddysteed,  winff is  a nifty tool.  theres others gui tools to the other tools as well.
[18:24] <paddysteed> winff
[18:24] <paddysteed> is it in synaptic
[18:24] <Dr_willis_AAO> I forget if winff is in the repos.. or not.
[18:24] <Dr_willis_AAO> look for it perhaps?
[18:25] <Dr_willis_AAO> !info winff
[18:25] <bernz> satansaunt, Edit | Prefs | Keyboard
[18:25] <Dr_willis_AAO> It may be on medibuntu, or some unofficial repos i found.
[18:25] <Dr_willis_AAO> or just get it from the programs homepage. :)
[18:25] <paddysteed> no
[18:25] <bernz> satansaunt, i expect you mean 'audacity'
[18:26] <ktstzo> !info winff
[18:26] <paddysteed> where do i get winff then
[18:26] <XPS_M1330> How do I change file associations?
[18:26] <satansaunt> no, audacious...
[18:26] <paddysteed> i have the divx codecs already
[18:27] <bernz> XPS_M1330, if you are still using nautilus (the bundled file system browser), right-click a file, and there's a tab for its handler
[18:27] <XPS_M1330> "still" using nautilus? Do you suggest a better filebrowser?
[18:27] <paddysteed> is there a way to turn off the logging in/off notices in pidgin
[18:28] <bartek-> Hi, I'm trying to generate a gpg key but I always get "Not enough random bytes available."  ... Any tips on how I can prevent this?
[18:28] <bernz> XPS_M1330, i wish i could... i'm not a fan of its constantly greying out while it reads a simple bunch of directories
[18:28] <bartek-> It says please do some other work to give the OS a chance to collect more entropy
[18:28] <bartek-> But, even after dinking around for 5 minutes nothing happens
[18:28] <XPS_M1330> try dolphin ;)
[18:28] <bernz> in any case, i meant 'right-click -> Properties' and then the tab
[18:28] <jtaby> Hey, I keep having installation problems. I got the ISO, checked its md5 sum, checked the cd when I booted up
[18:28] <XPS_M1330> yes I saw, thanks!
[18:28] <jtaby> but when I install, it keeps giving me errors
[18:28] <bernz> bartek-, i *thought* it was collecting entropy -- that or counting bogoMIPS again
[18:29] <XPS_M1330> kinda weird that I configured Opera as the default web browser and it still opens htm files with firefucks
[18:29] <bartek-> bernz: so just keep waiting it out?
[18:29] <bernz> bartek-, oh sorry, i thought you were explaining nautilus' rather frequent "jamming"
[18:29] <Pici> XPS_M1330, Please watch your language in this channel, thank you.
[18:29] <sebsebseb> XPS_M1330: calling Firefox names hummmmmmm,  well  at least Firefox is much better than IE, and is also opensource, unlike Opera!
[18:30] <XPS_M1330> sorry did I mispell something?
[18:30] <Pici> XPS_M1330: This is a family friendly channel, mind the language.
[18:30] <joborociroboroqu> sdcf
[18:30] <XPS_M1330> indeed, way better than IE!! And opensource. I agree. Sorry I didn't mean to offend, it just slipped
[18:30] <sebsebseb> XPS_M1330: oh Opera software make a resonablly nice product, but it would be much better I expect, if it was Open Source!
[18:30] <Stevethepirate> Where would I drop a networking based script that has to be run on startup before anything on the PC actually touches the networking modules [ghosting a MAC here]
[18:30] <XPS_M1330> sebsebseb: I agree!
[18:30] <n2diy> I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas?
[18:31] <bartek-> ah, I got it
[18:31] <sexcopter> hi, does anyone know how to suspend a computer from command line?
[18:31] <Stevethepirate> sexcopter: I've seen it before, used an xset command.
[18:31] <Stevethepirate> !xset
[18:31] <Stevethepirate> Or not.
[18:31] <Pici> Stevethepirate: Not every command has a factoid.
[18:31] <bernz> sexcopter, "man shutdown" ?
[18:31] <Dr_willis_AAO> i was thinking the shutdown/halt/suspend command could do that.. or one of those commands had an option to do it...
[18:31] <bullgard4> In Ubuntu 8.04.2 I installed two packages: mail-notification and mail-notification-evolution. Still there is no plugin entry 'Mail Notification' to be seen in the list Evolution > Edit > Plugins > Plugin Manager. Why is that so?
[18:31] <Dr_willis_AAO> some maybe alias's to the others
[18:32] <sexcopter> bernz: shutdown doesn't have a switch for suspending, not that i see at least
[18:32] <khirr> can i use glade with bash? make bash scrit and use glade for GUI
[18:32] <sebsebseb> XPS_M1330: You didn't say it, but they say it: Opera the fastest brower. Ha!   try Konqueror
[18:32] <bernz> sexcopter, well, i'm out of ideas :-]
[18:32] <sexcopter> Stevethepirate: xset? not heard of that
[18:33] <XPS_M1330> I don't care about the "speed". The browsing speed depends more on the connection than the browser loading time
[18:33] <Stevethepirate> Where would I drop a networking based script that has to be run on startup before anything on the PC actually touches the networking modules [ghosting a MAC here]
[18:33] <sebsebseb> XPS_M1330: not quite sure about that, but Konqueror runs faster than Firefox  for me.
[18:34] <XPS_M1330> sebsebseb: good for you. but to me konqueror lacks basic features, which makes it a lesser browser
[18:34] <Guest54113> hello every one new to irc, just admiring is their really 1500 users in this room
[18:35] <bernz> Stevethepirate, what about booting from the network itself? bootp?
[18:35] <sebsebseb> XPS_M1330: maybe we make an exception for Opera, altough I hardly use that browser,  but  at  the end of the day it is evil, well according to Richard Stallman.  restricts our freedoms and locks people into a vender.   Just like Desktop Linux users make an exception for Mac OS X, because it is Unix based,  but people that use that still get locked into Apple.  Anyway we are off topic!
[18:35] <_VIM_> Guest54113: yes but most of them are probably afk/idle
[18:35] <bernz> Stevethepirate, if you're ghosting, you don't really need an OS, just enough to do the copying, right?
[18:35] <Stevethepirate> No
[18:35] <Stevethepirate> I mean spoofing a MAC
[18:35] <Stevethepirate> *sigh*
[18:35] <XPS_M1330> opera restricts freedom?
[18:36] <sebsebseb> XPS_M1330: yes  read articles on gnu.org in about free software section and that
[18:36] <sebsebseb> XPS_M1330: that is in the philosophey section
[18:36] <Stevethepirate> Normally i would go sudo ifconfig eth0 down && sudo ifconfig hw ether de:ad:be:ef:ca:fe && sudo ifconfig eth0 up
[18:36] <CentHOGG> Hi, I've just installed on a DualBoot with windows and everything works ok. Just that the User can't modify items on the Windows Partitions, but the Root can. How do you adjust that so that the User can work on partitions like the root can (permissions, groups or what)? Thx
[18:36] <rabby> hi
[18:36] <bernz> Guest54113, yes, but at any given time, only about 2 dozen appear awake, and only about half the users are actually awake/nearby :-)
[18:36] <shadeslayer> hi i installed  laptop-mode-tools,but how do i use them??
[18:36] <Guest54113> k i like to figure her for sec to registure so i can see myself oout of being guest ????
[18:36] <Dr_willis_AAO> Stevethe1irate,  you could do it in rc.local  but thats one of the last things that gets ran.
[18:37] <sebsebseb> CentHOGG: the normal user should be able to  access  the Windows partition
[18:37] <XPS_M1330> sebsebseb: ok. well even though it's an evil corporate software, it's been offering me the best browsing experience for 10 years, and no other browser comes close (except firefox after adding a bunch of addons) to its convenience
[18:37] <Stevethepirate> But I would like that to be run before my pc connects  to the network
[18:37] <sebsebseb> CentHOGG: maybe you got  to  set up permissions for your Windows partition a bit, so normal user can use it
[18:37] <rabby> mysql -p requires an input and it looks like that's why i can not add a & after it to make it run and run... :/
[18:37] <CentHOGG> sebsebseb: yeah I can access, just cant write
[18:37] <mercutio22> My system crashes every time I insert my password in the gksudo dialog window... what is going on?
[18:37] <sebsebseb> XPS_M1330: ok
[18:37] <rabby> is there a way to get it work with & though?
[18:38] <CentHOGG> sebsebseb: root can write, user cannot
[18:38] <sebsebseb> !permissions
[18:38] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: hi i am XPS M1530 youre bigger brother ;)
[18:38] <bluefox83> is dh -f the only command to view all drives on a system?
[18:38] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: hey!
[18:38] <shadeslayer> :)
[18:38] <Dr_willis_AAO> CentHOGG,  install/run the ntfs-config tool and it has some options to allow that - o belive
[18:38] <bernz> Stevethepirate, right, that might be tricky, because network cards try to get right in there as soon as they're plugged in... if you're trying to masquerade a MAC address, you probably need a card that can store the custom MAC address in non-volatile storage, so it's right there when the PHY powers up
[18:38] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: wassup
[18:38] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: how's the M1530 with ubuntu?
[18:38] <yorky501> Graphics drivers....... I need to install the drivers for the graphics card on my laptop, they are in this repo but i dont know how to add it as a source
[18:38] <yorky501> git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel
[18:39] <sebsebseb> CentHOGG: try what Dr willis said, plus I have a slightly bad way on how you can get the permissions.  I say bad way, because you would be running root for more than one little thing
[18:39] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: awesome,GNOME breaks down things a bit
[18:39] <Stevethepirate> bernz: Hmm, I could do this in windows np
[18:39] <mercutio22> can anyone help me diagnose that?
[18:39] <Stevethepirate> SURELY LINUX WONT MAKE IT 1-0 TO WINDOWS
[18:39] <shadeslayer> KDE rocks,xfce is *light*
[18:39] <Stevethepirate> :D
[18:39] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: what do you mean, breaks down things?
[18:39] <Dr_willis_AAO> Stevethe1irate,  and i can find 100+ things i can do in03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[18:39] <Dr_willis_AAO> tter. linux - that are next to impossible in windows.. :) so it dosent really ma
[18:39] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: it changes files which it shouldnt
[18:39] <CentHOGG> Dr_willis_AAO: hi, it's win98 :)
[18:40] <sebsebseb> Stevethepirate: Linux distros are not Windows, and  Windows is the OS of choice by most computer users, because of the monoplolgy and their computer ignorance
[18:40] <bernz> Stevethepirate, well, it's possible to have the card join the network as its original "hardwired" MAC, then get re-assigned at run-time, "leave", and "come back" as the new custom MAC, sure... i don't know enough about that to tell you where to start, though, sorry :-/
[18:40] <Dr_willis_AAO> CentHOGG,  dosent matter. :) tjhe tool sets the settings for vfat and ntfs
[18:40] <Stevethepirate> yeah, it was a dig.
[18:40] <CentHOGG> ok
[18:40] <shadeslayer> like today my CPU frequency could not be activated,i was stuck at 2.10 Ghz
[18:40] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: did you try KDE?
[18:40] <n2diy> I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas?
[18:40] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: Kubuntu+GNOME+XFCE
[18:40] <shadeslayer> XD
[18:41] <Hjub> witam
[18:41] <Hjub> hello
[18:41] <Stevethepirate> I was hoping to add something to rc0 so it runs as the networking module comes up.
[18:41] <khirr> how can i make exec calls in C from bash?
[18:41] <Dr_willis_AAO> !info sbackup
[18:41] <gldtn> hello guys.. I'm having a problem installing gtk2 themes where all of them keeps giving me a warning in Appearance saying that "This theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme engine is not installed"
[18:41] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: I used to run KDE4.1, I liked it a lot, but it was too buggy so I got exasperated and installed gnome instead. Got used to it, but now that 4.2 is out I'm gonna try it again
[18:41] <sebsebseb> shadeslayer: as  GUI  Kubuntu KDE4 :(  ,but  Kubuntu KDE3 :)     apps   KDE3 :)   KDE4 :D
[18:42] <bluefox83> !harddrive
[18:42] <Hjub> eny polisz pipul hir??
[18:42] <bluefox83> hrm >.>
[18:42] <bullgard4> There are two packages installed: mail-notification and mail-notification-evolution. Still there is no plugin entry 'Mail Notification' to be seen in the list Evolution > Edit > Plugins > Plugin Manager. Why is that so?
[18:42] <sebsebseb> shame the KDE3 GUI got ruined by all that KDE4  rubbish
[18:42] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: haha,you should try 4.2, you dont know what youre missing
[18:42] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: I read about a desktop environment I still have to try: FVWM2
[18:42] <gldtn> how can i solve this?
[18:42] <CentHOGG> Dr_willis_AAO: Ok, but since Root can work normally, why can't the User just be enabled like root can (some setting somewhere?)
[18:42] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: I just downloaded it :)
[18:42] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: btw does the m1330 get hot??
[18:42] <bernz> Stevethepirate, well, one possible way, though super convoluted, is to modify udev rules to detect-and-do-nothing for your NIC, then when the system has booted to your shell, re-run udev with a different config, allowing it to "see" the NIC this time, but overriding the MAC
[18:43] <oCean_> !pl | Hjub
[18:43] <sebsebseb> shadeslayer: 4.2  looked like 4.1 when I tried it, but I guess I never gave it a proper look around, because I don't like KDE4
[18:43] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: do tell how it os
[18:43] <Nevis> well, that didnt help much. still in low graphics mode. I tried installing 180 from synaptic. it removed 177. I'm going to reboot again.
[18:43] <shadeslayer> *is
[18:43] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: I'm bit afraid that I would have to spend too much time to troubleshoot my computer
[18:43] <Dr_willis_AAO> CentHOGG,  you MOUNT the filesystem woth the proper permissions.. and the user can access it fully... thats all there is to it. :)
[18:43] <shadeslayer> sebsebseb: KDE 4.2 is nice to you if you have a powerful graphics card
[18:43] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: yes. It's burning my legs right now
[18:43] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: huh??
[18:44] <shadeslayer> :)
[18:44] <Dr_willis_AAO> CentHOGG,  and that tool i think sets up HAL to use those 'less secure' settings
[18:44] <shadeslayer> yeah the M1530 does that too
[18:44] <sebsebseb> shadeslayer: my graphics card is  over 2 years old, but it's alright
[18:44] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: http://samwel.tk/laptop_mode/faq
[18:44] <Dr_willis_AAO> CentHOGG,  or mount them manually with ntfs-3g command and the proper arguments, or via fstab.. :) again wit the proper options
[18:44] <shadeslayer> laptop-mode
[18:44] <Risawa> hi i need help getting an xbox 360 controller working for ubuntu on my comp does anyone know how to do this?
[18:44] <Stevethepirate> bernz: Surely I can just add the ifconfig commands to run in rc?
[18:45] <bernz> Stevethepirate, well, i could only say "hopefully", because i don't rightly know ;-/
[18:45] <shadeslayer> sebsebseb: ah :) kde 4.2 rocks,i cant even imagine what Jaunty will look like
[18:45] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: I meant, if  I upgrade to another DE, like if I upgrade to ibex then install KDE4 I might have to spend a lot of time reconfiguring apps and f***ing around to make the wifi work, stuff like that
[18:45] <jwl007> I'm having issues getting my ethernet card to show up and wondering if someone could help
[18:45] <sebsebseb> shadeslayer:  KDE3 :) ,but I still went with Gnome
[18:45] <shadeslayer> :) wifi works perfectly for me,from first install
[18:45] <sebsebseb> shadeslayer: KDE4  ewww,  except apps got better
[18:45] <shadeslayer> sebsebseb: personal choice
[18:45] <Risawa> could anyone help me?
[18:45] <kasu_slp> re
[18:46] <sebsebseb> shadeslayer: ,but if they make a really nice looking  Kubuntu KDE 4.2 :D
[18:46] <Stevethepirate> bernz: Ok, well.surely, rc{x} is run as root?
[18:46] <sebsebseb> !xbox
[18:46] <Risawa> hm
[18:46] <Hfuy> does "not contiguous" just mean "fragmented"
[18:46] <SlimeyPete> yes
[18:46] <bernz> Stevethepirate, i'd bet at least a few bucks on that, though i'm not certain
[18:46] <Hfuy> Fair enough.
[18:46] <Hfuy> How do I fix it?
[18:46] <shadeslayer> sebsebseb: hehe,i love XFCE for the light DE,Kubuntu for eye candy,GNOME makes things easy to do i.e. daily tasks
[18:47] <sebsebseb> shadeslayer: XFCE is alright yeah
[18:47] <SlimeyPete> Hfuy: what fs?
[18:47] <Hfuy> No idea. It's an Eee PC, so it's flash anyway - it may not be a big deal.
[18:47] <Hfuy> extsomething, I assume.
[18:47] <paladin> hi... how can i make the console beep? echo -e /a doesn't work
[18:47] <bernz> Stevethepirate, one question i'd have is: are rc{x} run *after* udev (at which point, the card probably becomes "alive", and it's too late to pretend to be another MAC without others on the network noticing, if that's the goal)
[18:47] <sebsebseb> !beep
[18:47] <erUSUL> paladin: \a
[18:47] <selocol> How do I hibernate in Ubuntu/Fluxbox? Is there a command I can run that hibernates? What program is responsible for hibernation? Thanks.
[18:47] <SlimeyPete> fragmentation shouldn't be an issue on ext
[18:47] <sebsebseb> !hibernate
[18:47] <Stevethepirate> bernz: Hmm, that could be true.
[18:48] <SlimeyPete> I wouldn't worry about it
[18:48] <Hfuy> Well, fragmentation will be an issue on any filesystem.
[18:48] <Risawa> does anyone here use an xbox 360 controller for there ubuntu OS? i wanna try it for ZSNES on the comp
[18:48] <paladin> erUSUL: doesn't work either
[18:48] <bernz> Stevethepirate, the key is to figure out overall startup process for the distro you're using, to best pick the "wedge" point
[18:48] <Hfuy> I'm not sure it's that bothersome on an SSD with near zero seek times, though.
[18:48] <paladin> erUSUL: all I get is an "a"
[18:48] <Guest54113> would someone private chat me and help me change from guest to a register user?
[18:48] <SlimeyPete> Hfuy: indeed, but ext is generally happy unless it somehow manages to get 40% fragmented or something
[18:48] <Stevethepirate> Who would definitively be able to answer the questions though?
[18:48] <XPS_M1330> When you download ubuntu, which one is a live version: "desktop", "dvd", "alternative"? And how do I get the CRC to know if the download is fine?
[18:48] <lstarnes> Guest54113: just switch to a different unregistered nickname using /nick
[18:48] <SlimeyPete> it'll sort itself out
[18:48] <erUSUL> paladin: maybe is the built in echo. /bin/echo -e '\a'
[18:48] <Hfuy> It auto-defrags?
[18:48] <SlimeyPete> yes
[18:49] <Hfuy> In many ways we'd rather it didn't, since it'll exercise the flash
[18:49] <CarlFK> does it matter what filename i use for files in /etc/hal/fdi/information?  I am trying to do https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/212073
[18:49] <Hfuy> Also, the "non-contiguous" count seems to continually increase.
[18:49] <gldtn> hwo do I few which GTK engines I have installed or what are the default for a fresh installed ubuntu intrepid ?
[18:49] <bernz> XPS_M1330, desktop is live
[18:49] <n2diy> I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas?
[18:49] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: do you have an led light that's a lock with a number 9 in it?
[18:49] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: yeah
[18:49] <bernz> XPS_M1330, as for the CRC -- your download is guaranteed accurate (with some technical exceptions) by TCP protocol (used to download the image file)
[18:49] <paladin> erUSUL: thanks!!!
[18:49] <Hfuy> How do I find out what filesystems are in use? df -h doesn't list FS types.
[18:49] <paladin> exit
[18:50] <Stevethepirate> Hey bernz.. who would be able to answer the question?
[18:50] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: what is it about? it just got on today and won't come off!
[18:50] <Stevethepirate> I know that in windows, using a program like MAC makeup pushes a pre-load command onto its network stack.
[18:50] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: see the fn key??
[18:50] <oCean_> Hfuy: "mount" command
[18:50] <Stevethepirate> From what I have heard.
[18:50] <XPS_M1330> bernz: all right. it's just that I stopped and resumed the download at some point
[18:50] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: press FN+P
[18:50] <Hfuy> oCean_: They already are mounted, I just want to find out what FS is in use.
[18:50] <shadeslayer> it should output *
[18:51] <shadeslayer> like above
[18:51] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: it does nothing!
[18:51] <shadeslayer> its basically a numpad
[18:51] <shadeslayer> :O
[18:51] <shadeslayer> wait what keyboard layout??
[18:51] <oCean_> Hfuy: "mount" (no arguments) outputs what is mounted + type + options etc
[18:51] <bernz> Stevethepirate, not sure, just watch the channel a bit, and those who Get It will make themselves known (i don't want to name anyone specifically, because my opinions of the Clueful are personal ;-)
[18:51] <Hfuy> Ah. OK. /dev/sdb1, which I think is the internal flash, is ext2.
[18:51] <Hfuy> Lots of things mounted on this machine.
[18:51] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: i can help you reset the keyboard
[18:51] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: so THAT'S HOW you can use the numpad! I was wondering this eek
[18:52] <shadeslayer> lol
[18:52] <Hfuy> proc, sys, varrun, varlock, udev, devshm, devpts, securityfs, binfmt_misc.
[18:52] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: "reset the keyboard"?
[18:52] <Hfuy> Is that ususal?!
[18:52] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: num pad works then
[18:52] <Stevethepirate> bernz: my spam keys are autobound :D
[18:52] <shadeslayer> as well as the num lock key
[18:52] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: did you get it with the 150$ LED screen?
[18:52] <bernz> XPS_M1330, if you're using a modern browser, it will resume the download correctly also (it has checks for "breakage")
[18:52] <Stevethepirate> Where would I drop a networking based script that has to be run on startup before anything on the PC actually touches the networking modules [spoofing a MAC here]
[18:52] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: sorry??
[18:52] <lstarnes> Hfuy: that looks fairly common
[18:53] <XPS_M1330> bernz: I'm using evil corporate opera :)
[18:53] <Hfuy> lstarnes: Crikey.
[18:53] <Photoguy> Is there a way to switch to the XFCE desktop enviroment without installing Xubuntu?
[18:53] <bernz> Stevethepirate, that's probably a bad idea; i won't say this channel is super strict, but people appreciate a lack of redundancy (and rightly so)
[18:53] <MacFlecknoe> i have a question... i need to change my X configuration but xorg.conf hardly has ANYTHING in it anymore... what happened to this and how can i change X's settings?
[18:53] <Stevethepirate> bernz: Yeah i know.
[18:53] <jwl007> Im getting eth0: No such device found, eventhough my network card comes up when i run lspci, any ideas?
[18:53] <Stevethepirate> I mean, I will post every 100 lines or so?
[18:53] <bernz> XPS_M1330, there's a lot of worse corporations than Opera, at least ;-)
[18:53] <Hfuy> On the upside, we managed to install compiz, which looks fairly impressive on an eee.
[18:53] <Stevethepirate> Praps every 200
[18:53]  * Hfuy turns the desktop into a cube, and makes it spin around
[18:54] <Hfuy> Wootz0rz, etc.
[18:54] <bernz> Stevethepirate, or perhaps once an hour or less ;-)  heheeh
[18:54] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: when you customize the laptop before ordering, you get to choose between the regular LCD screen or a fancy, slim LED screen that costs an extra 150$. It's slimmer, lighter, and more energy-efficient. I think it must be better visual quality also
[18:54]  * kristian_ wonders how Hfuy does that?
[18:54]  * shadeslayer does it too
[18:54] <sebsebseb> bernz: yeah Microsoft and AOL
[18:54] <Photoguy> Is there a way to switch to the XFCE desktop enviroment without installing Xubuntu?
[18:54] <Hfuy> ctrl-alt-click-drag.
[18:54] <XPS_M1330> sebsebseb: yes, and lockheed martin!
[18:54] <Hfuy> Pointless. Zero usability bonus.
[18:54] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: ah i get it, i have the CCFL variant,i didnt have the led option
[18:54] <Hfuy> But it makes Vista users drool.
[18:54] <Stevethepirate> bernz: Heh
[18:54] <sebsebseb> XPS_M1330: lockheed Martin???????
[18:54] <Stevethepirate> I need to fix this problem for a while.
[18:54] <shadeslayer> though i wanted the LED
[18:54] <danbhfive> Photoguy: install xfce or xubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop^
[18:54] <MacFlecknoe> anyone know where the xorg.conf settings went??
[18:54] <sebsebseb> XPS_M1330: not heard of them
[18:54] <bernz> sebsebseb, well, i was thinking monsanto and stuff, but yeah, those promoters of laziness are also shun-worthy :-)
[18:55] <XPS_M1330> sebsebseb: one of the biggest arms manufacturer in the world
[18:55] <Stevethepirate> *in a while
[18:55] <yorky501>  Git repo's.. can anyone shed any light on what they are and how i get content from them
[18:55] <sebsebseb> XPS_M1330: oh ok
[18:55] <Hfuy> Also, all the windows wobble like undercooked mince when you move them around. It's sickening.
[18:55] <XPS_M1330> comparing apples and lizards
[18:55] <kristian_> Hfuy : i want teh cube. how do i get it? :o
[18:55] <Hfuy> kristian_: Install Compiz, plus all the supporting stuff it needs.
[18:56] <Hfuy> I seem to recall it was fairly painful to get going, but then, I'm used to windows, so all linux config issues seem painful to me.
[18:56] <XPS_M1330> say, Monsanto could be considered an evil corporation. they don't do open-source GMOs

[18:56] <danbhfive> malek-rik: i tried it out
[18:56] <XPS_M1330> shadeslayer: it's must simple to hit "numlock" to make that light disapear ;)
[18:57] <malek-rik> danbh: did you have any issues getting it started?
[18:57] <bernz> if you install compiz, you should also install the compiz fusion "tray icon" switcherooney app
[18:57] <yorky501> Istarnes, do you just get source from git repo's or are they packages
[18:57] <shadeslayer> XPS_M1330: well i thought you said it didnt go away??

[19:08] <gldtn> the problem is that every theme I install I get a warning saying that I dont have the required engine installed
[19:08] <sebsebseb> Myrtti: right
[19:08] <lanoxx-> hi, im wondering, what is the meaning of "Fix Commited" in Launchpad? and how long does it take from the point where a fix was commited until it appears as an update in update manager?????
[19:08] <Jack_Sparrow> sebsebseb We are here, just usually working in a diff window
[19:08] <shadeslayer> sebsebseb: www.gnome-look.org
[19:08] <sebsebseb> shadeslayer: yes what about it?
[19:09] <eshear> I'm running Hardy; I can't find ip_conntrack_max anywhere in /proc....does anyone have any idea why it would be missing?
[19:09] <shadeslayer> sebsebseb: it has gtk themes
[19:09] <sebsebseb> Jack_Sparrow: you mean doing something else as well?
[19:09] <sebsebseb> shadeslayer: yes I know, but I didn't ask about themes
[19:09] <Jack_Sparrow> sebsebseb yes, writing code this am

[19:09] <n2diy> I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas?
[19:10] <lstarnes> lanoxx-: I think http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=605808 might have an answer to your question
[19:10] <Ean> Hi all! :) What is the service "SSDP". This service is trying to connect at port 1900. Any malicious? It's another Ubuntu computer in the net that is trying to do that... Also a Unknown service from the same computer is trying to connect at port 21328...:/

[19:11] <thedude420> shadeslayer: I am using the 177 version, I have a nVidia GEFORCE GO 7400. This is on an HP DV6000t. The main LCD works fine but when I can not figure out how to get it to work through the external VGA. I do see that it does not have th EDID for the display that I have pluged in. It says that it is a CRT and it is an LCD.

[19:11] <LakesProse> I've installed unbuntu using a graphic card. Can I shut down my system, swap it for another card, boot up the system and expect ubuntu to say ''I see you swapped cards you dirty humon, lemme just adjust my drivers in function of your new card'' ?
[19:11] <shadeslayer> thedude420: even i could not get my TV to work with my 8600M GT
[19:11] <Slart> LakesProse: something like that, yes

[19:12] <_dbd_l12> eshear: i think you can set it like this "sysctl -w net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_max=xxxx". You can set it systemwide in /etc/sysctl.conf iirc
[19:12] <lstarnes> lanoxx-: btw, that was the 4th or 5th result when doing a google search on "launchpad fix committed"

[19:12] <Pistos> I have tried all manner of hand-waving and lever-pulling, but I cannot install Ruby 1.9.1-p0 under ~/usr.  The [main] error is that it can't find stringio.  Any suggestions?
[19:12] <Ean> lstarnes: yeah, I looked at that. But I didn't really get he message...

[19:13] <eshear> _dbd_l12: sysctl claims net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_max doesn't exist (unknown key)
[19:13] <Ean> lstarnes: Why would it send that to me? Or is that something Ubuntu normally does? ;l
[19:14] <_dbd_l12> eshear: hmm, strange, i'll have to see if google has answers ;-)
[19:14] <bullgard4> There are two packages installed: mail-notification and mail-notification-evolution. Still there is no plugin entry 'Mail Notification' to be seen in the list Evolution > Edit > Plugins > Plugin Manager. Why is that so?
[19:14] <eshear> I've been googling, and no dice
[19:14] <eshear> I found someone else who had the same problem, but no solution appeared
[19:15] <eshear> sysctl -a | grep ip_con shows that there is no ip_conntrack_max key tracked by sysctl
[19:15] <eshear> maybe I'm missing a module or something?
[19:15] <eagle> is it possible to get networkmanager to control br0 ? (have to use bridge since im running kvm)
[19:15] <olskolirc> can someone look at my pastebin and tell me why I can't play .avi files please?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/123477/
[19:15] <lstarnes> eshear: what about /proc/sys/net/nf_conntrack_max ?
[19:15] <bartek-> Has anyone here used duplicity before? Got a question about it
[19:16] <eshear> ah, i see
[19:16] <eshear> yes, nf_conntrack exists
[19:16] <eshear> thank you!
[19:16] <Jack_Sparrow> eshear what are you doing to generate that error, what release of ubuntu are you using and have you added any software outside official repos
[19:16] <eshear> it was a naming issue; I wasn't aware ip_conntrack is sometimes called nf_conntrack
[19:16] <khirr> how can i login how superuser in ubuntu?
[19:16] <Myrtti> khirr: no, you can't.
[19:17] <ardchoille> !root | khirr
[19:17] <_dbd_l12> eshear: i suppose that maybe it's just the "conntrack" package to install (not tested)?

[19:17] <gldtn> shadeslayer, I can't find anything under gnome-look regarding the engines.. how can I view witch engines I have installed?
[19:18] <fosco__> gldtn, dpkg -l | grep engines
[19:18] <Guest54113> hmmm guys are busy
[19:18] <khirr> but i want to do a script in bash, how could i do to request the password and log in how superuser?
[19:18] <shadeslayer> !engine
[19:18] <george2_> i've done an svn checkout and builld of ffmpeg, installed x264 and --enable-libmp3lame, but still, i loose all audio when encoding to h264 - why? google hasn't been any use
[19:18] <sebsebseb> Guest54113: hi what do you want help with?
[19:18] <shadeslayer> gldtn: sorry dont know anything else
[19:18] <eshear> thanks so much, that totally solved my problem
[19:19] <shadeslayer> bye all gotta go
[19:19] <ardchoille> khirr: you don't log into the root account, use sudo or gksudo
[19:19] <Guest54113> configureing ati capture card it partial working in tvtime
[19:19] <gldtn> thanks fosco_, shadeslayer
[19:19] <sebsebseb> !ati
 thanks, i will try
[19:20] <KDB9000> How do I make ubuntu forget the password for sudo as soon as I use it? (meaning it isn't saved, i have to enter it in everytime I do sudo)
[19:20] <sebsebseb> KDB9000: that is the default
[19:20] <Jack_Sparrow> KDB9000 You can set the default time
[19:20] <ardchoille> khirr: also you need to make sure you know what the script is suppoed to do before running it with admin privs
[19:20] <Slart> KDB9000: check the man page.. there is a switch iirc
 yes, is for mount a unit
[19:21] <ardchoille> khirr: ok, for a script in bash, you would do: sudo scriptname
[19:22] <KDB9000> sebsebseb, no, it isn't. If i went into the package manager, put the password in, then closed it, if I go back in right away or within a minute or 2, it doesn't ask me for the password. I want it to ask for the password.
[19:22] <sebsebseb> KDB9000: ok
[19:22] <sebsebseb> KDB9000: well I don't know
[19:22] <KDB9000> Jack_Sparrow, Where do I set the default time?
[19:22] <khirr> ardchoille yes
[19:23] <FrozenFire> Does anyone know of a way to install Windows on top of Ubuntu, like Wubi, except the other way around? I don't want to disturb Ubuntu, but I'd like to avoid using a second disk, or resizing my partitions.
[19:23] <FrozenFire> XP, specifically.
[19:23] <Jack_Sparrow> KDB9000 One sec.. I agree with slart there is a switch
[19:23] <paddy1> wine
[19:23] <Guest71736> #stardust
[19:23] <jussi01> !virtualbox
[19:23] <Jack_Sparrow> FrozenFire vbox
[19:24] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire: you can run Windows inside Ubuntu in a virtual machine, which will be fine except for 3D stuff
[19:24] <oCean_> KDB9000: Jack_Sparrow it's something like timestamp_timeout in /etc/sudoers
[19:24] <paddy1> FroxenFire: wine
[19:24] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire: Virtualbox yeah
[19:24] <FrozenFire> I already know of Virtualbox, and use it regularly. I want to install XP. I don't want Wine. I don't want a VM.
[19:24] <Guest71736> #stardust
[19:24] <zimbres> Why there is no gmake command on my system? Is it the same as make?
[19:24] <FrozenFire> Let's just assume I know what I want to do ;)
[19:24] <paddy1> vbox good
[19:24] <bullgard4> There are two packages installed: mail-notification and mail-notification-evolution. Still there is no plugin entry 'Mail Notification' to be seen in the list Evolution > Edit > Plugins > Plugin Manager. Why is that so?
[19:24] <Stevethepirate> Having some networking [possibly firestarter] problems here... Can't configure eth1 to communicate with loacl network.
[19:24] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire: Wubit is for noobs that can't partition their hard disk,  just like  a similar thing, but the other way round, would be for noobs that can't partition their hard disk
[19:25] <danbhfive> FrozenFire: hehe, well, lets assume that we dont know what you want to do :p
[19:25] <lstarnes> zimbres: on gnu-based systems such as most linux distributions, the version of make installed is gnu make.  on bsd variants, gmake is gnu make and make is bsd make
[19:25] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo -k
[19:25] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire: what you want I don't think is even possible
[19:25] <dayo_> how much do hard drives of about 200gb cost, these days?
[19:25] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire: Microsoft do not play nice with other OS's,  neither do most  people that program anything that is Windows related
[19:25] <danbhfive> dayo_: offtopic, but I just got 500g for $60 american
[19:26] <FrozenFire> sebsebseb: Fair enough. Just wanted to know if it has been done, effectively.
[19:26] <Jack_Sparrow> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudoTimeout
[19:26] <KDB9000> Jack_Sparrow, thx
for use installer in gtk? in bash is apt-get but i will use gksudo, and what is the comand for install in grafic mode?
[19:26] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire: Virtual machine is the way to have WIndows inside Ubuntu
[19:26] <FrozenFire> sebsebseb: This is for running games that do not work well under Wine.
[19:27] <Jack_Sparrow> FrozenFire Lets assume you are asking in the wrong room
[19:27] <materazzi> #nirvana
[19:27] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire: oh  and MS do sometimes play nice with open source and other OS's well kind of,  but only if enough business customers  demand it, but this is off topic
[19:27] <dayo_> danbhfive: sorry. and thanks
[19:27] <ardchoille> khirr: the easiest way to install a package in graphic mode is to use synaptic
[19:27] <danbhfive> FrozenFire: I think you just need to install windows to a separate partition, and then restore your grub
[19:27] <ardchoille> khirr: However, use sudo for bash and use gksudo for gui apps needed admin privs
[19:28] <_dbd_l12> how could issuing mkfs.ext3 on a sata disk (sda) interfere with grub/mbr on a working bootable install on another sata disk (sdb). I forgot cfdisk but mkfs ran fine. I reinstalled grub after getting error5 but i still don't get why this was happening...
[19:28] <Nevis> still no luck. anyone knows how to fix intrepid that boots to low-graphics after installing an nvidia driver?
[19:28] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire: dual boot and have a real Windows install for  gamse that won't work in Wine or virtual machine
 mean, for the command un my scrip
[19:28] <Jack_Sparrow> KDB9000 Did you get that info
[19:28] <FrozenFire> danbhfive: If I'm installing Windows on a disk directly, it'll be on a different disk entirely. I'm not risking the Windows installer clearing off my development OS.
[19:28] <KDB9000> Jack_Sparrow, ya. I am testing it right now
[19:28] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[19:28] <ardchoille> khirr: if you're calling a gui app you need to use gksudo
 gksudo "synaptic install smbfs", is it correct?
[19:29] <ardchoille> khirr: oh, no, use:  sudo apt-get install smbfs
[19:29] <FrozenFire> Just a note, by the way, I realize that many new users might not know what they're doing, but it's best not to jump to the conclusion that someone is new to Ubuntu when they ask questions like mine. I've been using Ubuntu for years, and know more about it than most. It's best to answer a question directly, than to make assumptions as to what the person _really_ means.
 but i'd like install in GUI mode, is there a way? i have seen script that use that
[19:30] <ardchoille> khirr: synaptic is a graphical package manager, the command equivalents are apt-get or aptitude
 yes, i want in grafical mode
[19:30] <ardchoille> khirr: I don't know of a way to do that
[19:30] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire: that was the other guy, I already knew what you wanted
[19:30] <freedumMan> what command can i find out what is killing the hard drive, my system is slaming I/O activity
[19:31] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire: when you said.    Windows in Ubuntu partition.  a bit like Wubi, but other way round
[19:31] <Myrtti> FrozenFire: starting the answers from bottom and working up covers all the chances, including those you haven't thought yourself and have considered them perhaps irrelevant to the issue.
[19:32] <FrozenFire> Myrtti: I agree, it works in many cases, but it's infuriating to receive nonsensical answer like "Use Wine" or "Virtualbox," which do nothing to answer the initial question.
[19:32] <FrozenFire> Especially when someone indicates that they know what they're doing ;)
[19:32] <Jack_Sparrow> FrozenFire What you are asking for help with is outside the scope of Ubuntu Support.. Thank You.. Perhaps a more open discussion channel on how to accomplish your task would be #Ubuntu-offtopic
[19:32] <Hilikus> hey guys, i'm having a problem with (it seems) the ivtv driver on 8.10. like 1/4 times the sound is all metallic. has anyone else encounterde this?
[19:32] <FrozenFire> Jack_Sparrow: Yes, I'm finished. Just felt like ranting a bit ;)
[19:33] <Jack_Sparrow> obvioulsy
[19:33] <Hilikus> it used to happend pre 8.1 as well but it seems to be more common now
[19:33] <Huufarted> freedumMan, try 'top' at the console
[19:33] <Hilikus> im using a happauge 150
[19:33] <freedumMan> Huufarted, its I/O activity not cpu usage
[19:33] <Huufarted> I know that, but a lot of times, the offending program will also be top (or near) with CPU
[19:33] <freedumMan> Huufarted, both cpu's are 1.3%
[19:34] <yorky501> hi, how go i check if I have any open gl drivers installed??
[19:34] <freedumMan> Huufarted, hard drive light is almost solid

[19:34] <shadeslayer> sebsebseb: what was that about blubuntu that you were telling me??

[19:35] <sebsebseb> shadeslayer: the theme itself is not that good,  the wallpaper is alright, and the  gdm screen is very nice indeed!
[19:35] <glitsj16> khirr: zenity might be of interest to you, quoting the man page of it: "... will display GTK+ dialogs, and return (either in the return code, or on standard output) the users input. [...] allows you to present information, and ask for information from the user, from all manner of shell scripts."
[19:35] <Huufarted> haha Titan8990 you beat me to it
[19:35] <sebsebseb> shadeslayer: it's in the repo
[19:35] <shadeslayer> oh ok
[19:35] <_dbd_l12> hm, it seems my own question (mkfs.ext3 / grub troubles) seem described here: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/6480/1/
[19:35] <Titan8990> Huufarted, hehe, hiya man
[19:35] <shadeslayer> i thought it was a DE
[19:35] <Huufarted> good afternoon,  Titan8990
[19:35] <jiffe92> there anyway to make apt-get quiet (i.e. not ask for any input like mysql-server does?)
[19:35] <shadeslayer> blubuntu-look right??/
[19:35] <sebsebseb> yes
[19:35] <freedumMan> Huufarted, nothing out of the oridinary
[19:36] <D-rew> For some reason, Ubuntu flunks out on detecting my router's DHCP settings, I have to go into the network manager and set my IP address manually. This works fine, but the settings don't save, meaning I have to set them all over again every time I restart my system.
 yes, i'm was using, now i'm trying with gdialog
[19:36] <Huufarted> freedumMan, try 'ps -ef' and see which ones seem to be going nuts?  Might not show anything useful, but you never know
[19:36] <Titan8990> D-rew, you should try to configure your interface for dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces
[19:36] <miss_firefighter> hey guys how do i register a new IRC name?
[19:37] <D-rew> Titan8990, I did.

[19:39] <Jack_Sparrow> _dbd_l12 Great article..
[19:39] <D-rew> Titan8990, Guess what.
[19:39] <Titan8990> D-rew, yep?
[19:39] <D-rew> Titan8990, Checked my router settings.  :P
[19:39] <Titan8990> D-rew, well, good to hear you solved the problem :)
[19:39] <Blatz> Titan8990: Worked like a charm, thanks.
[19:39] <Huufarted> freedumMan, so that found your answer for you?
[19:40] <Titan8990> Blatz, anytime
[19:40] <_dbd_l12> Jack_Sparrow: well i'm glad it explains why i was having these grub troubles today ;-)
[19:40] <kristian_> what is the following: vlc-plugin-esd, mozilla-plugin-vlc?
[19:40] <Titan8990> kristian_, does it not have a description in the repos?
[19:41] <Jack_Sparrow> _dbd_l12 I only skimmed it.. but what partition types were you running
[19:41] <D-rew> Sweet.
[19:41] <Stevethepirate> Having some networking [possibly firestarter] problems here... Can't configure eth1 to communicate with loacl network.
[19:41] <Titan8990> kristian_, if you are using CLI I believe it is this to see a full description:   sudo aptitude show vlc-plugin-esd
[19:41] <freedumMan> Huufarted, yup but i wish there was a way to find the program eating hard disk I/O usage
[19:41] <_DEL> !compile
[19:42] <lstarnes> kristian_: vlc-plugin-esd allows vlc to use esd for sound.  mozilla-plugin-vlc allows firefox to embed vlc for certain media

[19:43] <Huufarted> freedumMan, if there is, I don't know it.  However, that doesn't mean much.  I'm glad you found your answer.
[19:43] <Jack_Sparrow> NemesisD  hit clt-alt-f2, login. run  sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop. do your nivida stuff, using sudo. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X . ctl-alt-f7 to get back to gui, if needed  is the normal way
[19:43] <Titan8990> black_eagle, different threads usually show up as different procs so you can just grep ps:    ps aux | grep pocimlookingfor
[19:43] <kristian_> Titan8990 : thanks for the cli command. :-)

[19:45] <kristian_> again. :-P
[19:45] <Titan8990> kristian_, there is a good guide for multimedia here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683
[19:45] <_dbd_l12> Jack_Sparrow: (sata although that's of no relevance here)
[19:45] <Titan8990> kristian_, anytime
[19:45] <nikos> have the repositories been abandoned ?
[19:45] <Stevethepirate> Having some networking [possibly firestarter] problems here... Can't configure eth1 to communicate with loacl network.
[19:46] <lstarnes> nikos: feisty has reached the end of its life
[19:46] <nikos> lstarnes: I know, but I have some important old work on that installation that i can't migrate right now
[19:46] <kristian_> Titan8990 : and thanks for the link. :-D
[19:46] <Titan8990> Stevethe1irate, did you try disabling firestarter? Did it ever work?
[19:46] <FrozenFire> Easier question this time: Apparently, I'm suddenly not in the sudoers file. I'm the only user, other than root. I've been in the sudoers file until today. Do I have to drop to a root shell to fix this?
[19:46] <nikos> lstarnes: is there a place to find old packages ? I'm interested in libmdbodbc ..
[19:47] <erUSUL> !eol
[19:47] <Stevethepirate> Titan8990: Hmm, I can try that.
[19:47] <Titan8990> FrozenFire, select Ubuntu recovery mode from the grub menu
[19:47] <Titan8990> FrozenFire, you will be prompted to select "drop root shell"
[19:47] <FrozenFire> Titan8990: Yes, I know how to drop to a root shell ;) I was just wondering if there was some known reason for this.
[19:48] <oCean_> FrozenFire: maybe you're no longer in the 'admin' group?
[19:48] <FrozenFire> Ubuntu 8.10. The only thing I can think of is that I added myself to the sshfs group
[19:48] <oCean_> FrozenFire: using usermod?
[19:48] <Titan8990> FrozenFire, by default your first user is the admin group
[19:48] <lstarnes> nikos: you might be able to use http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[19:49] <oCean_> FrozenFire: to see your groups, type "id"
[19:49] <Titan8990> frostburn, unlike some other distros that use the "wheel" group
[19:49] <n2diy> I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas?
[19:49] <nikos> lstarnes: thank you
[19:49] <lstarnes> nikos: I don't think those repositories don't recieve anymore updates
[19:49] <FrozenFire> Hrmm... Seems to have put me entirely in the fuse group.
[19:49] <FrozenFire> That's odd.
[19:49] <FrozenFire> Well, off to a root shell I go.
[19:49] <lstarnes> nikos: if you can use a newer version of ubuntu you defintiely should
[19:50] <NemesisD> lovely, nvidia broke my xorg.conf
[19:50] <Stevethepirate> Titan8990: Doesn't make a difference.
[19:50] <Nevis> hi guys. I'm runing around in circles with a graphics driver (nvidia 180) problem. anyone has patience to help me out?
[19:50] <Titan8990> Stevethe1irate, did eth1 ever work? what type of interface is it?
[19:50] <nikos> lstarnes: hmm.. i'm in a strict deadline until tommorow so I can't really migrate everything to a newer installation overnight. thanks for the page :)
[19:50] <Nevis> NemesiD: your's too?
[19:50] <Huufarted> !ask | nevis
[19:51] <NemesisD> Nevis: yes, but probably for different reasons
[19:51] <Stevethepirate> Titan8990: its a normal onboard NIC card.
[19:52] <Stevethepirate> Ethernet
[19:52] <Stevethepirate> Plgged into a switch.
[19:52] <JW> Titan8990: _dbd_l12 Do you know what it is that might need to be reconfigured to get the other virtual console renabled
[19:53] <Titan8990> JW, honestly, if you just got the laptop I would contact the manufacturer to see if they altered something to get that behavior
[19:53] <Nevis> I'm runing intrepid with kernel 2.6.27-11 generic. I recently installed a new geforce 6600 agp card. All worked fine, even with 180.11 which was installed with synaptic from the ubuntu restricted repo. today I decided it would be a good idea to install 180.35, and since then I can't boot to anything but "low graphics mode".
[19:54] <Stevethepirate> Titan8990: any ideas?
[19:54] <Titan8990> Stevethe1irate, does it get an ip address from your dhcp server?
[19:54] <Synny> sup  homo domes
[19:57] <Stevethepirate> 3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B3B
[19:57] <Stevethepirate> Whoops.
[19:57] <_dbd_l12> JW: what does "sudo chvt n" give  (with n=5 for example)
[19:57] <yorky501> have just installed google gadgets, any one know how to run it?
[19:58] <_dbd_l12> JW: i'd read here for some suggestions (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/24073)
[19:59] <lovre> i have accidentally deleted some content from my USB memory. Is there some kind of recovery tool i can use to try to recover this data? I havent written anything on the memory since.
[19:59] <zash> lovre: what type of content?
[20:00] <zash> lovre: there is a automated jpeg recovery tool
[20:00] <michaels> network-manager says I'm connecting using mobile broadband but I can't actually do anything on the internet... what could it be?
[20:00] <zash> lovre: otherwise you could start by copying /dev/your-usb-device to somewhere
[20:00] <lovre> zash: i dont see how data type influents recovery, but no, its not images, text files and maybe some in binary format
[20:00] <zash> and grepping
[20:01] <NemesisD> argh, halp. It seems like the most recent nvidia drivers i just installed put Load "type1" in the Module section of xorg.conf. X can't load that module though
[20:01] <lovre> zash: what would i get with grepping? since there are no files listed in the file allocation table
[20:01] <zash> lovre: you grep the raw partition for the actual data
[20:01] <zash> there might be better ways
[20:02] <erUSUL> lovre: use photorec from testdisk package
[20:02] <zash> but i dont know them
[20:02] <sprinkmeier> lovre, start by taking an image of the device, use dd_rescue
[20:02] <michaels> can someone please help? it's kind of urgent. :( network-manager says I'm connecting using mobile broadband (via a usb stick) but I can't actually do anything on the internet... what could it be?
[20:02] <Huufarted> lovre, have you checked in the .Trash directory where you deleted it from?
[20:02] <erUSUL> lovre: sprinkmeier sugegestion is a good one make a backup just in case
[20:02] <Blatz> I am looking for information on how to install Beryl(or something like it) on Hardy, is there a quick link someone could give me?
[20:03] <erUSUL> !info testdisk | lovre
[20:03] <lstarnes> Blatz: hardy has compiz-fusion by default
[20:03] <lovre> Huufarted: the deletion took place on a windows machine, i dont know what it did to the data
[20:03] <Stevethepirate> Titan8990: For now, I am just trying static IPs on the internal network [external NIC gets a dhcp addy though]
[20:03] <erUSUL> lovre: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
[20:03] <Blatz> lstarnes:  I see, is it something I have to enable?
[20:03] <lstarnes> Blatz: try enabling it with system > preferences > appearance > visual effects
[20:03] <Blatz> thanks
[20:04] <Huufarted> lovre, since Windows rocks....  it wouldn't have put it in any directory more than likely. If the stick is currently in ubuntu, try looking in the recycled directory on the root of the drive
[20:04] <Huufarted> (that was a big sarcastic comment about how Windows rocks)
[20:05] <Huufarted> off topic XChat question:  Is there a way to suppress all of the joins, leaves, and quits in a channel?
[20:05] <khirr> how could i use a conditional for example, if alsa is intalled, then......
[20:06] <erUSUL> Huufarted: right click on the channel tab
[20:06] <wormdrlnk> hi
[20:06] <wormdrlnk> how can I give preference to entries in /etc hosts over dns
[20:06] <Huufarted> erUSUL, thanks.  No wonder I couldn't find it.
[20:06] <wormdrlnk> so that it doesnt try dns first for them
[20:06] <Nevis> I'm runing intrepid with kernel 2.6.27-11 generic. I recently installed a new geforce 6600 agp card. All worked fine, even with 180.11 which was installed with synaptic from the ubuntu restricted repo. today I decided it would be a good idea to install 180.35, and since then I can't boot to anything but "low graphics mode".
[20:07] <Titan8990> wormdrlnk, hosts list will always be used before dns
[20:07] <Titan8990> wormdrlnk, that is the way of tcp/ip
[20:07] <wormdrlnk> hmm, its not
[20:07] <wormdrlnk> i have entry for www.facebook.com and it goes to dns first
[20:07] <johan12> evening all. here's the problem, a portable hdd stoped working and i tried it with another hdd enclosure and in my desktop computer (an old ide-ata), neither xubuntu or winxp couldn't find it. the hdd is buzing and on, what more can i do?
[20:07] <Titan8990> wormdrlnk, most likely because it is cached
[20:08] <wormdrlnk> hmm
[20:08] <wormdrlnk> true
[20:08] <Titan8990> wormdrlnk, it goes    cache -> hosts list -> dns
[20:08] <glitsj16> khirr: there's a package called abs-guide, which installs the Advanced Bash Scripting guide, all kinds of scripting knowledge is gathered in there, also conditional testing like you asked
[20:08] <Dinand_Mentink> Hello. I have a question regarding webcam drivers. What channel do I need?
[20:08] <lstarnes> wormdrlnk: domain.tld is handled differently than www.domain.tld
[20:08] <Nevis> <slaps forehead> you mean there are special channels for various topics?!
[20:08] <vjacob> how do I allow netbooted install of ubuntu linux on my iBook over my LAN using my other ubuntu install pc as netinstall server?
[20:08] <Dinand_Mentink> There aren't?
[20:09] <Nevis> I'm sure there are, i just hadn't thought of it before. :-)
[20:09] <Huufarted> holy crap IRC is so much more tolerable without the /joins and /parts
[20:09] <Dinand_Mentink> ah
[20:09] <chai> hi all, i got a kind of cool project idea, i want to use cron to take a picture every day of my backyard using a webcam, but i can't find any way to export a webcam photo with a command line... is there one? or is there a better way?
[20:09] <Nevis> I'll go look for the nvidia problem channel
 thanks, i will checkit out
[20:10] <Huufarted> chai, I haven't looked this up in awhile, but if you google 'webcam automatic upload ubuntu' you will find your answer
[20:10] <erUSUL> !info webcamd | chai
[20:10] <n2diy> I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas?
[20:11] <ZeRo_FeniX> I'm thinking about building a file/webserver for my home network and I was wondering if there's a way that I can browse files on the server from my windows machines other than using like apache over the web?
[20:11] <Dinand_Mentink> Is there someone here who can help me with installing drivers for my webcam on an Asus F5r laptop?
[20:11] <wormdrlnk> ok
[20:11] <wormdrlnk> i fushed dns cache
[20:11] <wormdrlnk> still doing it
[20:11] <erUSUL> !samba | ZeRo_FeniX
[20:12] <chai> thanks both Huufarted and erUSUL for the pointers
[20:12] <Daft_Punk> is there a way to have the icon text (for the icons on desktop) to be readable on light AND dark backgrounds? (like in windows)
[20:12] <bigzed> Or you can install NFS support on Windows but it's more complicated than using Samba
[20:12] <ZeRo_FeniX> Also, I don't have much experience with command line nix stuff atm any recommended place to start and learn quickly for my server purposes?
[20:13] <bigzed> Do you want to use Ubuntu as a server?
[20:13] <ZeRo_FeniX> yes
[20:13] <vjacob> anyone here setup lftp?
[20:13] <erUSUL> ZeRo_FeniX: you can use some fire and froget distribution for this like openfiler
[20:13] <n2diy> ZeRo_FeniX, Look up "The Rute Manual" on google.
[20:14] <erUSUL> ZeRo_FeniX: or frenas (freebsd based)
[20:14] <erUSUL> ZeRo_FeniX: or freenas (freebsd based)
[20:14] <prince_jammys> rutebook is available through apt
[20:14] <Huufarted> chai, You're welcome
[20:14] <shakil> how do i get rid of this error ? W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY<PHONE_NUMBER>3B3065
[20:14] <erUSUL> vjacob: didn't know it needed set up... is a cli ftp client
[20:14] <ZeRo_FeniX> I'm interested in learning about the OS too, that way when something goes the hell I can trouble shoot it.
[20:15] <liliana06> hi
[20:15] <n2diy> My USB drives stopped automounting? Nothing happens when I plug them in?
[20:15] <vjacob> erUSUL, yup just found out. thought it was used for netboot setup
[20:15] <quiet> i have an install of ubuntu working but I want to convert it to kubuntu...  aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop removes just the metapackage name while leaving the entire setup...  is there a switch to full remove all components of ubuntu-desktop so it can be clean before i install kubuntu-desktop?
[20:15] <bosco> can someone tell me a good wifi manager for ubuntu
[20:15] <unko> is there anyone good at making .deb packages? i want someone to make a amarok <IP_ADDRESS>.deb for me...please :]
[20:16] <prince_jammys> !purekde > quiet
[20:16] <Stevethepirate> Titan8990: Hey?
[20:17] <erUSUL> !ppa | bosco
[20:17] <quiet> prince_jammys: that doc is rather out of date
[20:17] <quiet> this is for intrepid/jaunty
[20:18] <Huufarted> I'm confused.  Went to install MPD through Synaptic just now and in the details of the install, I get 'XOpenDIsplay() failed', but synaptic says it was successful.  Should I be worried?
[20:18] <glitsj16> shakil: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1054906.html has an explanation and a fix for that
[20:18] <shakil> Thank you glitsjle
[20:19] <prince_jammys> quiet: i doubt it makes much of a difference, other than perhaps a stray package. anyway, you need not remove kde stuff before installing ubuntu-desktop. you can do it after.
[20:19] <prince_jammys> quiet: err, the other way around.
[20:19] <erUSUL> !ppa > unko
[20:19] <erUSUL> bosco: sorry that was not meant for you
[20:20] <liliana06> are u all on linux?
[20:20] <bigzed> I hope so
[20:20] <chai> lol webcamd tells me to RTFM
[20:20] <unko> erUSUL, thanks
[20:20] <Titan8990> liliana06, you can do a whois on people to see what IRC client they are using, granted they don't have a cloak
[20:21] <Myrtti> Titan8990: not exactly...
[20:21] <n2diy> My USB drives stopped automounting? Nothing happens when I plug them in?
[20:21] <frog_> pngtopnm -text testtext Desktop/books.png <-- should it extract the text part into file? or do i get something wrong?
[20:21] <Titan8990> Myrtti, explain
[20:21] <Myrtti> Titan8990: you can't tell that from whois. There is another command that you can use to find out what IRC client people are using, but using that on this channel will get you banned.
[20:22] <Myrtti> Titan8990: feel free to /whois me and guess what client I'm using.
[20:22] <vjacob> what's a very light weight httpd server?
[20:22] <Titan8990> Myrtti, interesting, I already did
[20:22] <kristian_> Myrtti : irssi?
[20:22] <bernz> n2diy "sudo tail -f /var/log/messages" and then plug in your device and look at the output to see if it detects the plug-in event
[20:22] <erUSUL> vjacob: boa; nginx
[20:23] <n2diy> bernz, ok
[20:23] <erUSUL> vjacob: with more features you have lightppd or cherokee
[20:23] <red-lichtie> Hi, atm I'm using pidgin for irc but for some reason I find it lacking. What irc client "should" I be using (Ubuntu, 8.10) ?
[20:23] <vjacob> thanks erUSUL. I just found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_web_servers also
[20:23] <glitsj16> vjacob: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/wa-ltwebserv/index.html?ca=dgr-lnxw07LW-WebServers&S_TACT=105AGX59&S_CMP=grsitelnxw07 presents an overview of options
[20:24] <dayo_> red-lichtie: irssi
[20:24] <bernz> red-lichtie, xchat is pretty great
[20:24] <bigzed> red-lichtie, xchat
[20:24] <kristian_> if i unexpectedly shutdown my computer, and rtorrent is running and downloading a torrent, is there any chance that the content may become corrupt? once my computer has started up again and i run rtorrent, rtorrent will do a hash check and resume download, so i assume there will be no uncorrect data when the torrent is done?
[20:25] <n2diy> bernz, the USB is found, and assigned sda1, but Nautilus didn't open, as it used to do?
[20:25] <bernz> kristian_, i can't say for sure that it does, but it wouldn't even be beta-ready if it lacked error-detect-and-reget-bad-blocks
[20:25] <erUSUL> kristian_: correct; you can force a check on many torrent clients if you want to be extra sure
[20:25] <Huufarted> red-lichtie, what is 'lacking' on it?
[20:25] <Huufarted> on pidgin that is?
[20:25] <crdlb> kristian_: that's my understanding; I've even heard of people feeding bad linux .isos downloaded normally fed into a torrent client to get fixed up
[20:26] <glitsj16> kristian_: that depends on the way you shutdown i suppose, if you mean unexpectedly but via the regular shutdown routine chances are all will be well .. if you yank out the power-cord ....
[20:26] <bernz> n2diy, maybe you have disabled "autoplay" or whatever it's called, in nautilus
[20:26] <tom760`> if there are certain programs i want to use newer versions of then ubuntu has packages for, is that pretty easy?  does it mess things up mixing packages with source compiled installs?
[20:26] <n2diy> bernz, maybe, let me go check.
[20:27] <Huufarted> Does anybody here use Ampache?
[20:27] <lstarnes> Huufarted: pidgin doesn't have full support for the irc protocol and lacks features that other clients have such as mask-based ignores for specific types of messages or certain channel oprtation functions
[20:27] <erUSUL> tom760`: it certainly can mess things up if you compile them from source, you can try to enable backports
[20:27] <erUSUL> tom760`: that repo has newer versions of some packages
[20:27] <kristian_> thanks! :-)
[20:27] <Huufarted> lstarnes, gotcha.  Didn't realize he meant it was lacking for 'irc'.  I thought he meant for the general IM protocols
[20:27] <red-lichtie> Huufarted: Highlight (bold) lines (all of the lines that I post), audio notification if I'm in another window/on another desktop is a msg comes up with my name, simple "reply to xxx" without having to copy/paste name, etc
[20:28] <kristian_> glitsj16 : yeah, power went, so pc loses power.
[20:28] <ecret2> I downloaded a binary of cmake.  I extracted to /home/me/cmake.  I need to be able to access the binaries from anywhere so I need to use ln correct? Is it "sudo ln /usr/bin /home/me/cmake/bin/ccmake"
[20:28] <lstarnes> red-lichtie: first couple letters of nick then TAB key?
[20:28] <erUSUL> ecret2: why not install the one from the repositories?
[20:28] <erUSUL> !info cmake
[20:28] <asdfqwer> whats a good screen casting app for gnome?
[20:28] <vjacob> glitsj16, thanks
[20:28] <ecret2> erUSUL: repository is 2.4, i need 2.6
[20:29] <lstarnes> red-lichtie: I'm not sure if pidgin can do that, but I know most irc-specific clients can
[20:29] <erUSUL> ecret2: you are in hardy?
[20:29] <ecret2> yes
[20:29] <erUSUL> !info cmake hardy
[20:29] <bernz> kristian_, be sure to invest in a UPS soon ;-)
[20:29] <Huufarted> !ampache
[20:29] <glitsj16> tom760`: besides backports, there is a whole range of extra repositories on ppa.launchpad.net that offer bleeding edge versions, and then there's getdeb.net that offers .debs of recent apps
[20:29] <Huufarted> !mpd
[20:29] <Huufarted> weak
[20:29] <lstarnes> Huufarted: do you mean "apache" instead of "ampache"?
[20:29] <erUSUL> !info grecordmydesktop
[20:30] <Huufarted> lstarnes, no.  ampache is a web based media player
[20:30] <red-lichtie> "lstarnes: red-lichtie: first couple letters of nick then TAB key?" nope, well not on my system
[20:30] <Aethelred> I'm running 8.10-amd64, upgraded a while ago from Gutsy. Since the upgrade, my vmware server (is gone)/(doesn't work).  I've never looked into it before, but I'd like to fix it now. My old .vmdk files (et al) are still there (a WinXP and a 32-bit Ubuntu). I'd like to install vmware again and have the old virtual machines work. Which vmware product and version should I install?
[20:30] <eseven73>  does Kubuntu use KDE 4?
[20:30] <Titan8990> !ask | eseven73
[20:30] <Huufarted> lstarnes, it's a play off of apache's name, though.
[20:30] <eseven73> that was a question Titan8990
[20:30] <ecret2> erUSUL: is using ln the way i said correct?
[20:30] <red-lichtie> lstarnes: exactly the reason for my asking :)
[20:31] <carpii> eseven, 8.10 uses 4.1
[20:31] <lstarnes> Huufarted: ah, that makes sense.  Unfortunately I know nothing about it
[20:31] <carpii> 8.04 uses 3.5
[20:31] <Titan8990> eseven73, but when someone asks, it your going to ask another question right?
[20:31] <Huufarted> lstarnes, thanks anywho.  :)  It's pretty neat, you should check it out
[20:31] <lstarnes> red-lichtie: try xchat (not xchat-gnome) or irssi
[20:31] <unko> how can i install amarok <IP_ADDRESS> on ubuntu? i don't feel like compiling it so i needanother way...and i didn't find any debs yet..
[20:32] <Titan8990> erth, err answers, what that factoid is saying is don't ask something like "does someone use xxx application" just state the question or problem you are having with said application
[20:32] <eseven73> Titan8990: what are you smoking?
[20:32]  * red-lichtie fires up synaptics and installs xchat
[20:32] <kristian_> bernz : :-D anyways, since rtorrent did a hash check when i ran rtorrent again, i guess it would remove bad data if any, also when torrent is done rtorrent does a hash check so it should be 100%, because the .torrent file can not be corrupt otherwise i wouldnt be able to download in the first place. at least this is what im thinking now.
[20:32] <Titan8990> eseven73, drug free as of 8 days ago
[20:32] <Titan8990> eseven73, thank you
[20:32] <tehboriz> grats eseven73
[20:33] <eseven73> carpii:  thanks, at least you gave me a real answer :)
[20:33] <Titan8990> eseven73, and thanks for attempting to insult me for explaining how the support proccess works here
[20:33] <bernz> haha, Titan8990, in other words, you ran outta bud 8 days ago :-D
[20:33] <Huufarted> lol served
[20:33] <tehboriz> i've got an ubuntu 8.10 loaded up right now. Skype doesn't seem to recognize my sound or webcam mic. Is it because the version is too old? looks like version two is the newest for linux
[20:33] <eseven73> Titan8990: I'm on here 14 hours a day under a different nick, I think I know how #Ubuntu works
[20:33] <Titan8990> bernz, hehe, actually quit a job and will be need a new one :P
[20:34] <_VIM_> this nick in fact :)
[20:34] <Titan8990> eseven73, then you are familar with the ask factoid :)
[20:34] <tehboriz> guys, i need an help plz :)
[20:34] <Nevis> !ask | tehboriz
[20:34] <tehboriz> Nevis, scroll up then
[20:34] <Nevis> ah. :-)
[20:35] <Nevis> and I thought I was being clever. :-(
[20:35] <tehboriz> i was just about to repaste lol
[20:35] <tehboriz> any ideas?
[20:35] <_VIM_> Titan8990: I asked a simple question, it was not necessary to give me the !ask factoid, but whatever, lets drop it before the ops use the !ot factoid on us or worse :P
[20:35] <Nevis> why not update to version two then?
[20:35] <Huufarted> !offtopic | _VIM_
[20:35] <_VIM_> doh!
[20:35] <Huufarted> Sorry, I coudln't resist
[20:35] <_VIM_> ;)
[20:35] <bernz> kristian_, yes, exactly. typical (i.e. useful) clients always verify that every block is "good", before marking the torrent complete
[20:36] <kristian_> bernz : well, then i should be fine. :-) thanks for confirming.
[20:36] <Titan8990> _VIM_, actually if you were using your current nick, I wouldn't have said anything lol
[20:36] <tehboriz> Nevis, i have version two already
[20:37] <tehboriz> it sees my webcam and the test works
[20:37] <tehboriz> but the sound options are really weird, none of the options work
[20:37] <johan12> anyway of defraging an ntfs-portable hdd in xubuntu?
[20:37] <gafir> what's the best text editor for let's say, HTML / CSS and such that would allow to do search and replace in all open documents, etc... thanks
[20:37] <dayo_> speaking of webcam. what's the easiest way to use yahooIM with webcam on ubuntu?
[20:38] <guntbert> !best | gafir
[20:38] <bernz> johan12, gparted *might* be able to do it
[20:38] <LakesProse> I've a ubuntu box and I'd like to connect it dorectly to a Winxp box. Do I need a crossover cable ?
[20:38] <gafir> guntbert: the most appropriate
[20:38] <erUSUL> johan12: there is no ntfs defrag utlility for linux that i know of
[20:38] <johan12> any way of emulating?
[20:38] <gafir> guntbert: I am using gEdit but it doesn't allow to do searcha nd replace within more than one document, there is a plugin but i couldn't make it work
[20:39] <bernz> LakesProse, most modern NICs are auto-sensing, making a crossover cable unnecessary; you should be fine with anything
[20:39] <erUSUL> johan12: emulate what?
[20:39] <johan12> defrag-app?
[20:39] <LakesProse> bernz: thanks :)
[20:39] <Michele> ciao!
[20:39] <guntbert> gafir: try different editors and build your own opinion :)
[20:39] <erUSUL> !wine | johan12
[20:39] <Michele> hello
[20:39] <Michele> ciao
[20:39] <Michele> c sn ragazzi italiani?
[20:39] <LakesProse> bernz: I know that in the time of my dad, he and his pet T-rex had to use crossover cables and I hoped this problem had been solved
[20:39] <guntbert> !it | Michele
[20:40] <Michele> ehy
[20:40] <ZeRo_FeniX> @gafir, Could VBox a windows and use dreamweaver I believe it does it. Nvu might do it too I'm not sure I never really messed with it.
[20:41] <lymeca> I dual-boot XP and Ubuntu on my laptop.  Why would I get good wireless reception in XP and only like 5% with constant drops in Ubuntu?  Can I fix this in software because XP is proving my hardware is fine?
[20:41] <gafir> ZeRo_FeniX: I just think it's kind of sad to use dreamweaver just for search and replaces. that no text editor on linux can do more than 1 file at a time :(
[20:41] <satansaunt> if i need to watch a film where the audio is wma which would be the best app to use???
[20:42] <tehboriz> Nevis, do you know?
[20:42] <Michele> !list
[20:42] <Huufarted> gafir, technically vi and grep can handle it with a bit of regex
[20:42] <dayo_> speaking of webcam. what's the easiest way to use yahooIM with webcam on ubuntu?
[20:42] <gafir> Huufarted: I've tried both too, but it's terminal based, and it's kind of tough just to do little search and replaces around
[20:42] <anger_> hello!
[20:42] <anger_> anyone using hugin?
[20:43] <ZeRo_FeniX> @gafir, I haven't done much in linux yet so I'm not really sure. I was just suggesting because I use dreamweaver for all of my web design and program because of it's direct upload capabilites. Granted mine is a much older version because I don't want to pay to upgrade but it still works great.
[20:43] <anger_> for me it complains about missing enfuse command
[20:43] <Huufarted> gafir, are you looking for a WYSIWYG editor or just a text based one?
[20:43] <Ulrask> Hello !
[20:43] <satansaunt> if i need to watch a film where the audio is wma which would be the best app to use???
[20:43] <Ulrask> Would you mind helping me not being killed by my gf ?
[20:43] <guntbert> !anyone | anger_
[20:43] <gafir> Huufarted: just text based, don't care about wysiwyg, but just something that can allow me to do like replace something in ten different html files at once
[20:43] <gafir> within opened documents
[20:44] <anger_> satansaunt, tried mplayer already?
[20:44] <gafir> Huufarted: I like gEdit but it doesn't offer this functionality
[20:44] <tehboriz> is there an alternate version of skype for ubuntu that works?
[20:44] <satansaunt> yeah, smplayer, vlc
[20:44] <Huufarted> gafir, ever use Notepad++ on Windows?  If so, apparently 'scite' is the Linux program it's based off of and it is in the repositories
[20:44] <Ulrask> I installed her an Ubuntu to try, and now her windows won't boot. I installed Ubuntu on a physically different hard drive I added, hoping the windows hard drive would be left untouched, but when I try to boot on the windows hard drive, I have grub popping up with an "error 17"
[20:44] <satansaunt> those are the ones that supposedly play all the codecs...they've been great until now...
[20:45] <gafir> Huufarted: I have used Notepad++, I like it, that's pretty much what i'm looking for. I have instaleld and used Scite. I was wondering if there was another program than scite.
[20:45] <Huufarted> satansaunt, because the wma/wmv protocols are very proprietary, there is no open-sources alternative that provides quality like the native Windows applications, unfortunately.
[20:45] <anger_> guntbert, it would be useful to know if someone has actually managed to create panorama pictures with hugin
[20:45] <gafir> Huufarted: but thanks for your help
[20:46] <dayo_> !grub | Ulrask
[20:46] <Ulrask> When I boot the Ubuntu hd, I can't try to see if there is a "windows" option as, for some reason, the PS/2 keyboard never worked outside of a graphical manager or the bios
[20:46] <anger_> or with any other software
[20:46] <Huufarted> gafir, others are "geany" and "Eclipse"
[20:46] <Ulrask> Plus, I can't do any windows restore as the system was sold with Windows preinstalled and the CD was neither never shipped with or lost long ago
[20:46] <Huufarted> gafir, some people swear by them, others abhor them
[20:46] <Aethelred> anger_ I use Hugin, on Ubuntu 8.10-amd64, and I have created many panoramas successfully.
[20:47] <gafir> ok, i'll check those. I know Eclipse, but not geany
[20:47] <gafir> thanks
[20:47] <Huufarted> gafir, yw
[20:47] <Aethelred> anger_ I recall having to noodle a few things around to get it working properly, but I don't recall what they were.
[20:47] <guntbert> anger_: so your question should be something like: "How can I create panorama pictures with hugin?"
[20:47] <Ulrask> Thanks dayo_ for the link although I already read that before asking
[20:48] <gafir> Huufarted: I'm trying Geany, thanks for your help.
[20:48] <ZeRo_FeniX> Ulrask, do you atleast have the cd-key for your windows install?
[20:48] <anger_> Aethelred, what do you have as enfuse executable?
[20:48] <Huufarted> you're welcome, gafir
[20:48] <Ulrask> Err yeah should be somewhere in the documentation ZeRo_FeniX
[20:48] <anger_> guntbert, I know how it's supposed to work
[20:48] <Aethelred> guntbert: I think his question is if anyone else is getting the same error he gets, and - if so - how they were able to fix it.
[20:48] <satansaunt> will i get any joy if i try to use windows media player in wine?? i haven't wmp in 5 years...at least
[20:49] <Ulrask> Anyhow I don't think system restore would be any good, as the keyboard never worked outside of a graphical windows manager (neither grub nor the windows "F8" menu ever reacted with this kboard)
[20:49] <Aethelred> anger_ well, I don't know. I guess I can check. Is this a separate executable, or is it in Hugin?
[20:49] <ZeRo_FeniX> Ulrask, in that case, if all else fails you could bittorrent a copy of the cd and burn it a disc, I believe they are actually dvds now. Fair game in my opinion since you have the CD-key.
[20:49] <Ulrask> Unless you have an idea how to make it work (enabling legacy USB didn't do any good.)
[20:50] <bernz> ulrask, it should be mostly a matter of getting ahold of a windows MBR/boot sector for GRUB to use; it sounds like you are using a USB kbd, with no legacy support in the BIOS (or disabled)
[20:50] <guntbert> anger_:, Aethelred : all right, I give up :-))
[20:50] <icewaterman> how come                                 outfile="run $i fe $gen txt bla" echo $outfile
[20:50] <anger_> Aethelred, it should be a separate executable but it seems to be missing from ubuntu
[20:50] <icewaterman> does print txt bla?
[20:50] <anger_> Aethelred, in preferenced in the enblend tab
[20:50] <bernz> ultrask, you should be able to unjam yourself with a windows MBR/boot sector if you can copy one from another working XP installation
[20:50] <Ulrask> Nah for some reason guntbert even a PS/2 keyboard don't work on this motherboard. You have any idea what else could cause that ?
[20:51] <guntbert> Ulrask: excuse me?
[20:51] <Ulrask> Ah yeah that could be a solution bernz, how do I obtain it from a working windows install and how could I copy it ? Any software name I can google ?
[20:52] <Aethelred> anger_ the "Enfuse executable" listed in my prefs is:   enfuse
[20:52] <Ulrask> Sorrt guntbert I meant bernz
[20:52] <Ulrask> I'm no good at this multiplayer ICQ
[20:52] <bernz> ulrask, search for utilities with 'mbr' in the title, like 'copy-mbr' or something similar
[20:52] <bernz> Ulrask, also check out "boot disk" sites; they usually have these kinds of tools
[20:52] <anger_> Aethelred, do you have also the enfuse executable somewhere? Can you check the package where you got it?
[20:53] <onthefence928> is it me or does the default calculator in ubuntu suck major ass?
[20:53] <onthefence928> it's giving me all kinds of wrong answers
[20:53] <_VIM_> !ohmy
[20:53] <bernz> Ulrask, i think one of the utils is just called "bootsect"
[20:53] <Aethelred> anger_ already looking.   :)
[20:53] <ZeRo_FeniX> Just something random but everytime I read Ulrask I think Ultralisk.
[20:54] <Stevethepirate> Titan8990, still having problems with my dual-network setup.. just spent the last hour trying out various ideas.. Still broken.. Willing to spend some time helping? [No traffic on eth1 on an internal network, eth0 is working fine on dhcp'd external network]
[20:54] <_VIM_> onthefence928: besides, ubuntu has over 30K packages, im sure there's at least 10 calculator apps you could try if you don't like the default one :)
[20:55] <guntbert> icewaterman: what are you trying to do?
[20:55] <obi> im trying to install a wireless driver, i dont kinow how to build it after downloading the zipped file
[20:55] <Titan8990> Stevethepirate, have you brought down eth0 to ensure traffic is moved using eth1?
[20:55] <bernz> Ulrask, basically, you will copy sector zero (the boot sector) from the primary (boot) disk of a working windows box (laptop nearby, etc)... to a file... of size 512 bytes
[20:56] <icewaterman> guntbert: doesnt matter, i want to echo "foo $x bar $y foo2" and it only prints foo2
[20:56] <ToKico> obi: what model is your wireless card?
[20:56] <onthefence928> _VIM_: well before i get a new one, any idea why the program is rounding everything?
[20:56] <Titan8990> Stevethepirate, also, does eth1 get a dhcp address?
[20:56] <adam> ciao a tutti
[20:56] <bernz> Ulrask, then you will place this file on your ubuntu's boot partition (perhaps/probably all the same on most systems), and then you can point grub to it and do a chain load (i think)... see grub manual for details... it's not hard, but takes some reading and learning
[20:56] <_VIM_> onthefence928: that's the reason I stick with Ubuntu, so much software for it, it's mind boggling, and the community of course :)
[20:56] <Titan8990> Stevethepirate, I know I already asked but I missed the reply
[20:56] <paddy1> !other peoples feelings
[20:57] <obi> ToKico: atheros 5007 i think, i have the proper driver i believe, so thats not the issue, its installing the driver.
[20:57] <j0nr> ok so i just reinnstalled ubuntu... i have a seperte /home part. how do i go about reinstating other users...when i try to add them and associate their old/existing /home directories, it won't let me as it says the destination (for /home/user) already exists?
[20:57] <_VIM_> onthefence928: i can look at some of them and check, but offhand I don't have an answer just yet for that, you gonna be on for awhile?
[20:57] <guntbert> icewaterman: ok, no idea, sorry, it just looked kind of weird :-))
[20:57] <paddy1> floodbot1, ffmpeg
[20:57] <ToKico> obi: you're trying to use ndiswrapper? or it is a native linux driver and trying to compile it?
[20:57] <onthefence928> _VIM_it just rounds everything to whole numbers
[20:58] <obi> ToKico: its madwifi driver
[20:58] <Nicador> Hello. How do i see if I have my soundcard installed? (ubuntu server, no GUI)
[20:58] <icewaterman> guntbert: echo "bla foo bar" should NEVER print only "bar"
[20:58] <bernz> j0nr, i'd probably recreate the accounts on the new separate /home partition, and then just copy the old user's home dirs over the newly created ones
[20:58] <erUSUL> Nicador: lspci | less
[20:58] <obi> Tokico:so i think the answer to your question is compile. its a native driver right?
[20:59] <CaneToad> how does one install the latest Jaunty?
[20:59] <spencer_> My computer does not see the floppy drive, ant suddestions?
[20:59] <Sa[i]nT> When did they stop making opera for Ubuntu?
[20:59] <Nicador> erUSUL: It's there: 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)
[20:59] <Titan8990> !jaunty | CaneToad
[20:59] <ToKico> obi: yes, it is native. try this: http://linux-wireless.org/Install-HOWTO/Drivers/madwifi/0.Howto.Install.Madwifi.txt
[20:59] <Nicador> erUSUL: How do i exit now ?
[20:59] <j0nr> bernz: i have one partition for /home so all users have a home directory on there...i suppose i could rename the old one... create new users with desired names...then overwrite?
[20:59] <Titan8990> CaneToad, same way you install any other ubuntu varient
[20:59] <lstarnes> spencer_: try running sudo modprobe floppy
[20:59] <ToKico> obi: I don't have a wireless card, so I can't try anything...
[20:59] <spencer_> Thanks
[20:59] <CaneToad> Titan8990, then where can it be downloaded from?  I can't find it.
[20:59] <erUSUL> Nicador: press q
[21:00] <markupdude> i have a windows xp laptop and and a ubuntu cpu, can i use xp to use that monitor-less ubuntu machine? from starting the PC to logging in to shuting down
[21:00] <lstarnes> spencer_: you may also want ro add floppy to /etc/modules
[21:00] <qt-x> how do i mount a partition ext3 ?
[21:00] <ll> здарасти
[21:00] <ZeRo_FeniX> I'm trying to install the VirtualBox Guest Utilities on a Kubuntu install, how do I tell it to run the program as admin?
[21:00] <spencer_> Thanks
[21:00] <Nicador> Thank you erUSUL. Have a nice day.
[21:00] <ll> русские есть?
[21:00] <bernz> j0nr, yes, i'd do that -- rename is a good way to "temporarily delete" stuff :-)
[21:00] <guntbert> !ru | ll
[21:00] <erUSUL> Nicador: less is the pager it is usefull to learn how to use it as is used with man pages and other stuff
[21:00] <lstarnes> spencer_: it's no longer a default module because floppies have been obsoleted by cds and dvds
[21:00] <ToKico> !pt
[21:01] <Titan8990> CaneToad, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[21:01] <linxeh> is there a good C/C++ IDE in the repos that supports completion of things like include names, method/class names that are available, etc, and has some language + api referencing in (e.g. like Eclipse can do)
[21:01] <ll> ты?
[21:02] <hanasaki> my CPU runs at 2.5Ghz   I overclocked it in bios to faster however the gnome cpu applet never shows over 2.5 even under load.   at boot dmesg does show the faster clock speed.   whats going on?  why doesnt it go ver 2.5 in gnome?
[21:02] <erUSUL> linxeh: Eclipse + gdp ? anjuta; kdevelop; vdk builder etc...
[21:02] <CaneToad> Titan8990 how can a 8.10 install be upgraded to Jaunty?
[21:02] <guntbert> !ide | linxeh
[21:02] <ll> 8.0.4 rulezzzz!
[21:02] <ZeRo_FeniX> How do I run an application with admin privilages?
[21:02] <erUSUL> !sudo
[21:02] <davidjayhawk1> Need help with an Ubuntu install on usb... keeps freezing ever so often
[21:02] <lstarnes> CaneToad: #ubuntu+1 is currently the official channel for ubuntu 9.04
[21:03] <linxeh> erUSUL: ok I'll give those ago. they all support completion and docs etc ?
[21:03] <ToKico> obi: have you tried it?
[21:03] <snowcomb> vi/vim/emacs do not support completion.
[21:03] <Titan8990> CaneToad, it cant yet?
[21:03] <linxeh> snowcomb: obviously, and neither are they ides (I'm an emacs user fwiw with an extensive .emacs collection)
[21:03] <obi> ToKico: no i dont think that works for the particular driver i have. i think i jsut need to learn how to build from the .tar file
[21:04] <linxeh> snowcomb: though I have limited completion for some languages in Emacs now
[21:04] <snowcomb> Correct. As to an actual IDE, I've no idea.
[21:04] <Huufarted> ZeRo_FeniX, if it's a GUI application, use gksudo
[21:04] <Huufarted> !gksudo | zero_fenix
[21:04] <hanasaki> what is a good tool to tell what the cpu is running at?
[21:04] <snowcomb> hanasaki: top
[21:05] <jtaby_> hey, i run the cd rom integrity test and it's successful, but when i install, i get errors
[21:05] <jtaby_> any idea how i can debug this?
[21:05] <Huufarted> hanasaki, the current load on the CPU or the current speed of the CPU in a mobile CPU?
[21:05] <ToKico> obi: it should be how any "normal" package compiles: extract the tar, and inside of the folder containing the extracted file, run "./configure", then "make" and then "sudo make install". That should install it.
[21:05] <jtaby_> when i downloaded, the MD5 sum checked out
[21:05] <kristian_> how can i make firefox go back when i hit backspace button on keyboard?
[21:05] <ZeRo_FeniX> And what if I'm using the KDE gui how would I go about doing that?
[21:05] <Caplain> kristian_: it should already do that
[21:05] <Huufarted> kristian_, if it doesn't work, click the web page content itself, then try to backspace
[21:06] <hanasaki> Huufarted: current clock speed its a K8 amd and powernowd is running...
[21:06] <lstarnes> ZeRo_FeniX: try kdesudo
[21:06] <kristian_> Caplain : doesn't happen here. :-/
[21:06] <ll> a blunt vapros possible? that it is better to reinstall firefox to delete the older version, or not important?
[21:06] <hanasaki> snowcomb: top does cpu load not clock speed
[21:06] <guntbert> kristian_: ask in #firefox
[21:06] <kristian_> Huufarted : yes, tried that, doesn't work. :-/
[21:06] <Huufarted> hanasaki, right-click a panel, add to panel, "CPU Frequency Monitor"
[21:07] <kristian_> guntbert : alright, thanks. :-)
[21:07] <Caplain> guntbert: lol
[21:07] <Sa[i]nT> What's a good site ripper for Ubuntu?
[21:07] <ToKico> Huufarted: could someone tell me why my Intel P4 3Ghz doesn't work with that function?
[21:07] <Caplain> Sa[i]nT: wget
[21:07] <Huufarted> tokico, elaborate.  What function?
[21:07] <guntbert> kristian_: I remember, I had to tweak something once, but forgot it
[21:08] <guntbert> Caplain: ??
[21:08] <Sa[i]nT> Caplain, Something with a gui?
[21:08] <ToKico> Huufarted: "CPU Frequency Monitor"
[21:08] <boingboing> hello! I have installed ubuntu 8.04 on my sata drive (partition sda2) and the boot loader on a USB pen (sdb) but when i try to boot from the grub on the pendrive it says: GRUB and doesn't load the system on the SATA HDD. can you help me?
[21:08] <Caplain> Sa[i]nT: real geeks don't use guis :-P
[21:08] <Stevethepirate> Titan8990: I dont need eth1 to act as a DHCP server for the local network.. I don't mind doing the static setup on the clients [<IP_ADDRESS>\24, GW <IP_ADDRESS>]
[21:08] <Huufarted> Tokico, I don't know.  I use an Intel Atom and it works fine
[21:08] <Aethelred> I'm running 8.10-amd64, upgraded a while ago from Gutsy. Since the upgrade, my vmware server (is gone)/(doesn't work).  I've never looked into it before, but I'd like to fix it now. My old .vmdk files (et al) are still there (a WinXP and a 32-bit Ubuntu). I'd like to install vmware again and have the old virtual machines work. Which vmware product and version should I install?
[21:08] <Huufarted> Caplain, real geeks use anything at their disposal
[21:08] <markupdude> i have a Ubuntu and a XP pc, a router [got both wireless and wired options] and a crossover cable, can i connect both PCs for file transfer/basic networking?
[21:08] <boingboing> (i don't want that ubuntu boot loader sobstitutes the vista one...)
[21:09] <hanasaki> Huufarted:  hmm at boot the kernel said cpu of 2.8... (it is overclocked) not overclocked it is a 2.5 dual core amd x2.   even under heavy lead that cpu applet never goes over 2.5.  any ideas?
[21:09] <ToKico> Huufarted: ok... hoped you could help me...
[21:09] <Titan8990> Stevethepirate, I wasn't talking about acting a server, can it recieve an address using a dhcp client (dhclient in ubuntu), I am trying to verify that the interface is functioning properly before we get in to routing troubleshooting
[21:09] <shadeslayer> how do i undo a command i just executed in terminal
[21:09] <shadeslayer> !undo
[21:09] <lstarnes> shadeslayer: it depends on the command
[21:09] <kristian_> guntbert : try to remember. :-P
[21:09] <Known_problems> name of one programs for edition of Icons .ico for gnome?
[21:09] <shadeslayer>  sudo apt-get autoremove ubuntu-artwork
[21:09] <Huufarted> Hanasaki, it just reads from what the OS has.  I don't know the filename it reads it from.  It's the OS that's reporting it wrong, then
[21:10] <shadeslayer> it un-installed  alot of packages
[21:10] <Huufarted> hanasaki, please stand by
[21:10] <lstarnes> shadeslayer: for that you would need to reinstall the ubuntu-artwork package
[21:10] <guntbert> kristian_: no chance, its been more than 3 months :(
[21:10] <hanasaki> Huufarted:  ok.  IM if you like.  fyi its64but ubuntu
[21:10] <Glowball> Is it possible that Ubuntu only takes alphanumeric characters as a passphrase for a wireless connection?
[21:10] <shadeslayer> lstarnes: it also uninstalled kpowersave and some other packages
[21:11] <Aethelred> markupdude: your need (or lack of need) for a crossover cable is mostly independent of the OS. Why not just connect both of them to the router?
[21:11] <Glowball> With "ThisIsATest", I can connect without any problems, but with my normal passphrase, with characters like {ù&, I can't
[21:11] <Huufarted> hanasaki:  cat /proc/cpuinfo
[21:11] <obi> Tokico: when i enter ./configure into terminal it says no such file or directory
[21:11] <Stevethepirate> Titan8990: Well, eth0 is the external device, which is getting a DHCP address. [<IP_ADDRESS>]
[21:12] <shadeslayer> oh wait i knoe
[21:12] <Stevethepirate> But eth1 is the internal NIC, and its not getting any DHCP addy [it shouldn't though]
[21:12] <hanasaki> Huufarted:  yup.. says 2.5 same as the gnome applet.  dmesg says  0.000000] Detected 2874.904 MHz processor.
[21:13] <ZeRo_FeniX> okay in a terminal prompt I want to run this file at this location with admin privilages. /media/cdrom0/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run what do I type to run it with admin privilages?
[21:13] <almostdvs> after the ubuntu loading is all done it takes forever for the login window to come up,  anyone have some insight?
[21:13] <Huufarted> hanasaki, I'm sorry but that's out of my league at that point.  I can only tell you what I used that worked.
[21:13] <markupdude1> how to transfer files between two xp and ubuntu PCs?
[21:13] <Titan8990> Stevethepirate, go ahead and run:  sudo dhclient eth1
[21:13] <ToKico> obi: because you have to change into the extracted files. imagine that the files extracted to a certain "madwifi-obi" folder. you have to type "cd madwifi-obi" to change into that directory.
[21:13] <Stevethepirate> Titan8990: Doesn't find one.
[21:13] <Huufarted> !samba markupdude
[21:13] <Huufarted> !samba | markupdude
[21:13] <hanasaki> Huufarted:  what specifically did u use?
[21:14] <Glowball> Is it possible that Ubuntu only takes alphanumeric characters as a passphrase for a wireless connection?
[21:14] <hanasaki> markupdude usbdrive or samba server
[21:14] <obi> ToKico: oh so the individual files. there are a ton of files, need i do this to all of them?
[21:14] <Huufarted> hanasaki, I used the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor that I pointed you to.  For my CPU it works fine.  I apologize, but I don't know how to help you with it displaying the wrong freq on your PC
[21:14] <phantomcircuit> LISTEN TO SOME RADIO http://www.raidchan.org/radio/listen.pls
[21:14] <obi> ToKico: or jsut the make files?
[21:14] <hanasaki> Huufarted:  thanks..what cpu do you have?
[21:14] <Flare183> !spam | phantomcircuit
[21:14] <markupdude1> hanasaki: i have a router and crossover cables, so was kind of thinking if i can have a permanent lan between the two PCs
[21:14] <kristian_> guntbert : figured it out, if your wondering: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/12/21/fix-firefox-backspace-to-take-you-to-the-previous-page/
[21:15] <Huufarted> hanasaki, Intel Atom processor.  1.6 GHz, very low power usage (45w whole system under full load)
[21:15] <markupdude1> hanasaki: and may be control that monitor-less ubuntu PC from XP?
[21:15] <reese> are there any virtual midi keyboards, as vkeybd?
[21:15] <moijk> hi. how do i get gimp in english? it is in my native language, and that's so confusing to use. Translating applications should be prohibited by law!
[21:15] <phantomcircuit> ATOMIKU IS LIVE PRO DJ SET WITH AWESOME TECHNO + DANCE + TRANCE + HANDSUP + HARDSTYLE MUSIC http://www.raidchan.org/radio/listen.pls
[21:15] <ZeRo_FeniX> Use VNC for controlling it I believe
[21:15] <ToKico> obi: no. i'm going to guide you step by step. delete all the files extracted. tell when done.
[21:15] <ecret2> !info hardy libboost-system
[21:15] <Huufarted> someone take care of phantomcircuit please
[21:15] <ToKico> obi: it's just more simple :D
[21:16] <hanasaki> markupdude search for vnc for the remote control and samba for the file shares
[21:16] <Flare183> !ops | phantomcircuit
[21:16] <guntbert> kristian_: now I remember :-), thx for reporting back
[21:16] <hanasaki> bbl .. thanks Huufarted
[21:16] <obi> ToKico. ok

[21:16] <ToKico> obi: ok.
[21:16] <almostdvs> after my ubuntu loading bar is done it takes a long time (5 min+) for the login window to appear. any insight
[21:16] <Huufarted> phantomcircuit, spamming is not tolerated in this channel.  It is off topic and bothersome to the entire channel
[21:16] <satansaunt> i really hate microsoft right now..
[21:17] <Huufarted> woot!   Anyone know of a little linux app for ubuntu that lets me see the transfered speed of a certain nic like eth1?Thanks
[21:17] <boingboing> help please! I can't load ubuntu, I'm from a livecd...
[21:17] <ZeRo_FeniX> what's the command to run a .run file?
[21:17] <Mez> ffs, why doesnt /kb work
[21:17] <Huufarted> slerder, I use an app called "Netspeed'.  It is in the repositories
[21:17] <Flare183> boingboing: Explain
[21:17] <slerder> huufarted thanks, and nice name ;)
[21:18] <Huufarted> slerder, thank you.  :)  My goal is to make people laugh.
[21:18] <lstarnes> ZeRo_FeniX: the file's path
[21:18] <slerder> huufarted, worked on me
[21:18] <ZeRo_FeniX> and just put sudo before it to run it as admin?
[21:18] <obi> ToKico: done, all deleted
[21:18] <lstarnes> ZeRo_FeniX: yes
[21:19] <eseven73> slerder: have you tried iptraf?
[21:19] <boingboing> Flare183: I have installed the ubuntu 8.04 OS on the sda2 drive and the bootloader on a FAT32 1GB usb pen in order to not sobstitute the original vista bootloader. I tried to load from usb pen but it says: GRUB
[21:19] <ZeRo_FeniX> Istarnes, ah that worked, thank you.
[21:19] <Stevethepirate> Titan8990: .ping
[21:19] <reese> are there any virtual midi keyboards, as vkeybd?
[21:20] <lstarnes> ZeRo_FeniX: btw, your font should display the first letter of my nick as a lowercase L, not an uppercase i
[21:20] <boingboing> Flare183: the usb pen is sdb and the partition of the hdd where ubuntu is "/" sda2
[21:21] <Titan8990> Stevethepirate, does lshw -vv  show eth1 as "unclaimed"?
[21:21] <slerder> eseven73 thanks, i installed iptraf just now an i can see al the connections and packets and bytes transfered, but how can i see the total up and down speed of an interface? thanks
[21:21] <Flare183> boingboing: GRUB is the boot manager
[21:21] <ZeRo_FeniX> lstarnes, true, though it looked kinda like an I :/ What about in a KDE terminal it's not taking sudo or kdesudo says command not found.
[21:21] <ZeRo_FeniX> actually nvm
[21:22] <boingboing> Flare183: yes i know...so how can i edit the grub on my sdb in order to boot my sda2 ?
[21:22] <ecret2> !info hardy boost

[21:23] <Nasra> hello everyone....just want to let you know that my Ubuntu Box did not want to shut down.....until I findout the problem just now.....it was a problem with a sound card mci < ----just be carefull you might run  into problem as well...thanks all for your help
[21:23] <yorky501> im having snags running google  earth,  it just closes itself when i open it,  anyone any ideas
[21:23] <carpii> open it again
[21:23] <Glowball> Is it possible that Ubuntu only takes alphanumeric characters as a passphrase for a wireless connection?
[21:23] <yorky501> then it closes again
[21:23] <scud> is there a way to use your pc speaker to play audio?
[21:23] <carpii> open it a...  ah ok ;)
[21:24] <carpii> check your using latest wine maybe?
[21:24] <ZeRo_FeniX> Glowball, since you didn't get a responce before I'm just going to say I have no idea so you don't feel ignored.
[21:24] <Glowball> Oh, ok
[21:24] <yorky501> im running the linux version
[21:24] <hackel> scud: I remember doing that about 15 years ago with a very fancy Windows 3.1 driver...it was awesome!
[21:24] <carpii> oh, i didnt know there was one
[21:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Glowball some cards are not going to work on encrypted networks that do work on open networks
[21:25] <yorky501> yeah only just found it,
[21:25] <loup> hi
[21:25] <Cyntek> hi all, i am now trying to access my newly installed 300 gb hd and its directory on ubuntu-server 8.10. However, when i log in via windows xp i get an error: \\HOME
[21:25] <scud> hackel: so you're telling me you probably dont have that fnacy windows 3.1 driver anymore, huh?
[21:25] <d_rugs420> anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut to open the terminal? I clicked on the clock up at the top right corner and everything locked up except for xchat
[21:25] <loup> can i disable the avahi daemon?
[21:25] <Glowball> Jack_Sparrow: so it's my network card that's not compatible, not Ubuntu?
[21:25] <carpii> try launching it from a terminal, and when it bombs out maybe itll give you some juicy troubleshooting messages
[21:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Glowball Not necessarilly
[21:25] <hackel> scud: heh, no.
[21:25] <scud> hackel: darnit.
[21:25] <Glowball> But it does work with another, simpler password
[21:25] <raibu> "file operations" does not move anymore - do I need to start copy again (5 GB)?
[21:26] <eseven73> slender ok in the iptraf options you'll see up/down rates for the network card you choose
[21:26] <hackel> scud: http://www.geocities.com/stssppnn/pcsp.html
[21:26] <slerder> guntbert thanks
[21:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Glowball Just suggesting that you verify your card will work wpa2 or whatever
[21:26] <eseven73> slender its the 3rd menu
[21:26] <Cyntek> hi all, i am now trying to access my newly installed 300 gb hd and its directory on ubuntu-server 8.10. However, when i log in via windows xp i get an error: \\HOME\Public Folder Sharing is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have acces permissions. The network path was not found.
[21:26] <Glowball> Jack_Sparrow: I can get connected with WPA2 with the pass "ThisIsATest"
[21:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Glowball then you are fine
[21:26] <eseven73> slender "Detailed Interface Statistics" is what you want :)
[21:26] <Glowball> But I can't with my normal passphrase
[21:26] <boingboing> I need to create a GRUB to load my sda2 from my sdb (usb pen) please help me
[21:27] <Glowball> (Which is 59 characters long and has non-alphanumeric chars in it)
[21:27] <rootzig> how if speack ubuntu?
[21:27] <lstarnes> Glowball: I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, but try using the hexadecimal version of that passphrase
[21:27] <Jack_Sparrow> !hi > rootzig

[21:29] <ZeRo_FeniX> Is linux coding similar to php at all?
[21:29] <Huufarted> ZeRo_FeniX, not at all
[21:29] <lstarnes> ZeRo_FeniX: linux isn't a programming language, it's a kernel
[21:29] <hackel> ZeRo_FeniX, php is very (very) loosely based on C, which most Linux software is written in.
[21:29] <linxeh> ZeRo_FeniX: depends how you define linux coding. you can write applications for linux in PHP if you want.
[21:30] <Huufarted> ZeRo_FeniX, linux uses 'c' mostly and php is recognizable as merely looking like it could be related to c
[21:30] <ZeRo_FeniX> Fair enough.
[21:30] <linxeh> php should generally be avoided at all costs though
[21:30] <Huufarted> php is not a programming language.  It is a scripting language.  Treat it as such and you will do well.
[21:31] <lstarnes> Huufarted: it is a programming language under some definitions of the term
[21:31] <almostdvs> i need to vnc into my other computer  (ccfl for screen dieing)  and it keeps telling me connection to host was closed
[21:31] <ZeRo_FeniX> PHP is very much a programming language in my opinion. It consists of all of the logic and boolean functions that most programming languages have.
[21:31] <Glowball> Could somebody maybe try it for me? If it is a bug indeed, it should be fixed in Jaunty
[21:31] <linxeh> lstarnes: well, a scripting language is a programming language, its just dependent on a script interpretter
[21:31] <Huufarted> zero_fenix, treat it as a scripting language, don't treat it as a programming language.
[21:31] <linxeh> ZeRo_FeniX: indeed, its a scripting language though. and a bad one at that.
[21:32] <yorky501> quick one......How do i get the 'cube' visual effect?
[21:32] <Huufarted> !compiz | yorky501
[21:32] <_VIM_> lol theres too many chefs in this channel :P
[21:32] <ZeRo_FeniX> not planning on writing something for linux in php just curious because I saw some familiar commands.
[21:32] <linxeh> _VIM_: better than none
[21:32] <_VIM_> yeah :)
[21:32] <ToKico> !hi > tokico
[21:33] <Huufarted> ZeRo_FeniX, php is based off of Perl from my understanding (could be wrong on that).
[21:33] <hackel> Is there any point to ubottu announcing private messages in the channel?  Kind of annoying, if you ask me.
[21:33] <yorky501> cheers
[21:33] <Huufarted> hackle:  /ignore ubottu
[21:33] <jarco> I became uncle today for the second time
[21:34] <sebsebseb> Huufarted: and then he won't get Ubuntu's help
[21:34] <Huufarted> jarco:  congrats  :)
[21:34] <_VIM_> gratz jarco!
[21:34] <Huufarted> sebsebseb, true but you can't get one without the other
[21:34] <ToKico> jarco: that's... hum... a little strange
[21:34] <jarco> ohw
[21:34] <jarco> i did it in here aslso :p
[21:34] <Cristi> hy! 6 hours ago i had 1 primary partition with ubuntu and now i have 2, one with ubuntu and one ntfs, however why is that the windows installer does not see any use-able hard disks to install windows on?
[21:34] <jarco> amsg :D
[21:34] <sebsebseb> Huufarted: yeah
[21:34] <jarco> sorry and thx
[21:34] <Huufarted> cristi, what are the partitions formatted as for the file system?
[21:35] <Cristi> Huufarted: ubuntu is on ext3, while the other primary is ntfs
[21:35] <Cristi> Huufarted: should i set the boot flag on the ntfs partition?
[21:36] <Huufarted> cristi, couldn't hurt.  The installer should still see it I would think.
[21:36] <Cristi> Huufarted: note that i struggled to make so that the ntfs partition not only that is primary, but also the first partition from left to right
[21:37] <Huufarted> Cristi, I did it a bit easier.  Installed XP first using only a small partition (let the installer create it) then installed Ubuntu on the remaining space
[21:37] <Cristi> Huufarted: i wish for ubuntu games god damn windows xD
[21:37] <Huufarted> !wine | Cristi
[21:37] <j0hn> hello everyone , i've got a prob with icecast  .... the /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml is empty , there is nothing
[21:37] <chuckh19581> I originally installed kubuntu, then later the gnome desktop. I've decided I like gnome better. Is there a simple way to uninstall all of the kde stuff that came with kubuntu?
[21:38] <Huufarted> chuckh19581, You can try and remove it through synaptic
[21:38] <_VIM_> !puregnome
[21:38] <torkel_> I'm running ubuntu intrepid under vmware-fusion right now (development purposes) and I am trying to connect my bluetooth phone to it. I've connected the usb-bluetooth (internal macbook one) in the virtual machines settings and it actually pops up in ubuntu. Still I'm unable to connect my phone to it; lsusb got this output Bus 001 Device 006: ID 05ac:1000 Apple, Inc. Bluetooth HCI MacBookPro (HID mode)
[21:38] <Huufarted> oh snap.  _VIM_ is all over it like Rosie ODonnel on a Ho-Ho
[21:38] <Cristi> Huufarted: wine ... ok righ uhm however i'd like not to erase my ubuntu partition. I am also using mounting points for / /home and /opt so who knows how would that work out "for the best" if i'd do that
[21:38] <sadiq_> how can I find wich package contains some header file (usefull for compiling stuff)
[21:38] <_VIM_> lol
[21:38] <ZeRo_FeniX> Xubuntu uses the Gnome desktop, correct?
[21:38] <Stevethepirate> Titan8990: http://rafb.net/p/D9Mry986.html
[21:38] <chuckh19581> Huufarted: remove what package though? Or do I have to remove them all one by one?
[21:38] <lstarnes> ZeRo_FeniX: it uses xfce
[21:38] <Neil`> hey peeps can anyone help by pointing me in the right director for setting up a mail handler like sendmail (pref not?) that i can set my isp's server as the upstream handler? as hotmail and guessing others doesnt like emails being sent from a dynamic IP
[21:38] <ZeRo_FeniX> gotchya
[21:38] <Huufarted> chuckh19581, listen to _VIM_ not me on this one
[21:39] <lstarnes> sadiq_: which header are you looking for?
[21:39] <Huufarted> cristi, wine doesn't replace anything....
[21:39] <kane77> sadiq_, apt-file can search in content of packages
[21:39] <Titan8990> Stevethepirate, sorry, trying to work on a project euler problem while helping you
[21:39] <sadiq_> lstarnes, libopenal.so.0
[21:39] <Titan8990> Stevethepirate, if you statically set eth1 and then do:  sudo ifconfig eth0 down    followed by pinging your gateway, what error do you recieve?
[21:39] <donal> hi
[21:40] <lstarnes> sadiq_: that's a library not a header
