[21:54] <favoritefood0> "This file has been automaticly generated by ntfs-config" then it lists the mount point and UUID of my NTFS partitions
[21:54] <Carbonflux> favoritefood0, I think you might need to study a bit more about the linux command line and mounting, permissions and sudo and stuff, there are ways you can fix that, you can modify the sudoers file to give yourself permissions to mount and unmount via the gui or you can prefex the gui command with gksu on the launcher properties
[21:54] <atonalpanic> I wouldn't think it would be that hard to fix a broken driver or what ever is wrong.  probably one line someone was erase and I just need to type it back.  I just don't know where
[21:54] <Slart> eegore: unless you want to write your software yourself you won't have to..
[21:54] <Squawk> depinko, how are you making the sym links, because that shouldnt happen
[21:54] <tanath> how do i draw an ellipse in gimp?
[21:54] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: paste the relevant lines here for your ntfs partition
[21:54] <aghachi> indygunfreak: cool! ok so how do i reset x server?
[21:54] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: did you apply the changes?
[21:54] <mortal1> I just tried to burn a cd in ubuntu, but it failed.  I dunno why...
[21:54] <tanath> such a simple thing. why must it be difficult
[21:54] <depinko> Squawk: ln -s /dir linkdir
[21:55] <mortal1> ouput http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57878/
[21:55] <IndyGunFreak> and save them?
[21:55] <mortal1> googled but I didn't see any solutions
[21:55] <aghachi> indygunfreak: it says i need to restart xserver yea i did save
[21:55] <tanath> anyone know how to draw a simple ellipse in gimp?
[21:55] <tweekster> is it legit to repartition a system, basically I just want to make /home a lot smaller than it is (it is 99.99999% empty) this is a brand new install. can i just repartition it and go?
[21:55] <depinko> Squawk: it happens only in winscp as I see now, in mc it works normally
[21:55] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; UUID=2AECA53FECA5066 /media/sda1 ntfs-3g defaults
[21:55] <Squawk> depinko, never seen that behaviour before, though youmight be making links with some funcy softare
[21:55] <ere4si> mortal1, can you run the md5 check on the iso?
[21:55] <Squawk> depinko, not copying links propelry?
[21:55] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: ok now type literally and paste here::  echo $UID
[21:56] <tanath> i can get it to select an elliptical area, but i just want to draw one
[21:56] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: control alt backpace will restart x, but save anything you're working on
[21:56] <aghachi> indygunfreak: should i log out and log back in?
[21:56] <depinko> Squawk: how you think - not copying properly?
[21:56] <IndyGunFreak> see above
[21:56] <DanceAddict>  Hi there, does anyone know how to connect a Epsom projector to a Linux 7.10 IBM laptop computer???
[21:56] <ArthurArchnix> Once you select the elipse, you can draw from path, tanath
[21:56] <favoritefood0> echo $UID
[21:56] <tanath> ArthurArchnix, how's that work?
[21:56] <DrX> Synaptic package manager is no longer on System-Administration at 7.04 -- how do you start it?
[21:56] <Squawk> depinko, sym links often break when copied, but there are options to preserve links to scp or cp, man cp and man scp to figure out what they are
[21:56] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: in a terminal ... and paste the output here :)
[21:56] <chazco> Anyone here using Textmaker on Gusty able to explain how to get the msttcorefonts to work correctly?

[21:56] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; When I type echo $uid I get "1000" and I knew in the terminal, I accidentally did it here
[21:57] <Slart> tanath: it wasn't so hard... make the selection into a path.. then stroke the path
[21:57] <thannoy> DanceAddict: have you tried lowering your screen resolution if higher than 1024×780?
[21:57] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: ok good now type this:::   gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[21:57] <tanath> Slart, how do i do that?
[21:57] <DanceAddict> thannoy: yes I have but no diff
[21:57] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; Okay, now what?
[21:58] <Squawk> favoritefood0, $UID is your personal user id, ie the user id of the user issuing the "echo" command, it has no relevance to directories
[21:58] <Slart> tanath: but I would say Gimp is more suited for photo editing.. there are other tools available for drawing stuff.. inkscape and krita comes to mind
[21:58] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: any joy?
[21:58] <elonole> best im for ubuntu? tell me because i can get mercury to work
[21:58] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: it should open a window with the fstab file that we're about to edit.  what are the permissions you want to set?
[21:58] <Gibb> Im about to uninstall fglrx for ATI and try to install the ati driver - what files should I backup before I take this plunge? I want to be able to restore from an emergency prompt if I have to
[21:58] <DanceAddict> ere4si: I am trying to project not print :o)
[21:58] <tanath> Slart, will they also take screenshots?
[21:58] <ere4si> k
[21:58] <aghachi> indygunfreak: yes i see the 60hz for second monitor so imma do 1 more restart is should wrok
[21:58] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; I want ability to read/write for my XFS, and mount/unmount for my all my drives
[21:58] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: ok..
[21:58] <mortal1> ere4si: I don't believe it's the iso...
[21:58] <thannoy> DanceAddict: Are you sue of the Fn+F7 key?  For example it is Fn+F5 on my computer
[21:59] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: do you care if other users can write to the partition or do you want just yourself?
[21:59] <mouseboyx> if I bought a domain from godaddy how to assign the ip to the domain?
[21:59] <Slart> tanath: I won't tell you the specifics.. this is an ubuntu help channel.. but you make an elliptical selection, transform it to a path and stroke the path..
[21:59] <dan> DrX: open a termininal and "sudo synaptic"
[21:59] <tanath> Slart, regardless, i do like gimp. it generally suits my needs, i just have no idea how to do a couple basic things, like draw a freaking shape
[21:59] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; I'm the only one that uses this computer (it's my own), so it doesn't matter
[21:59] <ere4si> mortal1, sorry - but that's the limit of my knowledge about that sort of thing
[21:59] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: ok here comes the replacement line ...
[21:59] <tanath> Slart, what do you mean stroke the path?
[21:59] <speeddemon8803> mouseboyx, you would have to check in with the domain provider, as they are all wickedly different.
[21:59] <ArthurArchnix> tanath: Ok... open up a new image.
[21:59] <tanath> Slart, and why the hell not?
[22:00] <Slart> tanath: in Edit.. Stroke path
[22:00] <DanceAddict> thannoy: yes im sure its the fn + f7 key as I havce tried all other keys !! :o)
[22:00] <mouseboyx> what are nameservers for speeddemon8803
[22:00] <DrX> dan:  thanx!  how do i get it back on the menu?  indeed, how do i get all my missing friends back?
[22:00] <prince_jammys> UUID=2AECA53FECA5066 /media/sda1 ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=007  0   0
[22:00] <speeddemon8803> nameservers are the things you need to change if you want the domain to point to your ip address.
[22:00] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; Replace my entire ntfs line for that partition with that?
[22:01] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: you can save your old line if you want by typing # at the beginning of your existing line (it will then be ignored)
[22:01] <tanath> Slart, gotta get the path first :/
[22:01] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; do all the other ones follow the same pattern?
[22:01] <depinko> Squawk:  hmm okay, I look around
[22:01] <dan> DrX: Gnome?
[22:01] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: ok to make clear:: at the very beginning of the existing line type the character #   . then add the new line under it
[22:01] <gnychis> how do i add a hard disk to always mount on boot and mount at /media/500gb?  Is the easiest way editing /etc/fstab or is there an easier way in gnome?
[22:01] <tanath> ArthurArchnix, well it is a new image, from screenshot
[22:01] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; I got that bit :P
[22:01] <speeddemon8803> im sorry im not following syntax in here, ill start now :P
[22:01] <DrX> dan: y
[22:02] <ArthurArchnix> ok fine, draw a circle using the elipse selection tool
[22:02] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; I've done some gedit editing
[22:02] <ere4si> gnychis, /etc/fstab for mounting at boot
[22:02] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: once you have done that, save and close
[22:02] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: :)
[22:02] <Slart> tanath: http://gug.sunsite.dk/docs/Grokking-the-GIMP-v1.0    good reading material
[22:02] <Name> I am trying to mount an external hardrive but when i do an error message pops up with a big spiel on what the problem is and it offers a few solutions, ive tried both and they both say "sdb1 does not exist" or something. i am fairly new to ubuntu, can anyone help?
[22:02] <tanath> Slart, ah, found it. thanks
[22:02] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; Alright, and now I should have R/W and UM/M?
[22:02] <dan> DrX: try R click and look into your options...
[22:03] <tanath> Slart, except that it drew white for some reason
[22:03] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: we can test it.  first, exit any filebrowsers that are browsing that partition
[22:03] <speeddemon8803> mouseboyx, are you understanding everything ok? do i need to explain differently buddy?
[22:03] <ArthurArchnix> tanath: No need to make it a path. Make it a path only if you want to resize it... or edit the shape. If you're happy with your selection, just say >edit >stroke selection
[22:03] <Blissex> Name: Probably the disk is unpartitioned, or else the disk does not have enough power.
[22:03] <pike_> Name: unplug/replug the drive then in a terminal type dmesg | tail  you should then see a sdb1 or sdc1 or sdc2 or something
[22:03] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; exited
[22:03] <dan> DrX: im not running Gnome right now, I was playing with that yesterday, but thats a whole day ago  :o)
[22:03] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: then::   sudo umount /media/sda1
[22:03] <aghachi> err no luck what was the nvidia settings again i need 50hz not 60 hz :P
[22:03] <Name> Pike: ill try
[22:03] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys;kk, I was just going to ask that
[22:04] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: followed by sudo mount /media/sda1

[22:04] <globe> Can anybody give me some hints as to how to recover un-finalized data from a DVD-RW?  dd returns nothing
[22:04] <aghachi> indygunfreak: err no luck what was the nvidia settings again i need 50hz not 60 hz :P
[22:04] <Blissex> Name: lots of USB boxes do not supply enough power to their disks. So parts of it sometimes work.
[22:04] <elonole> does anyone know an alternate to pidgin?
[22:04] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: where are you setting these settings?... in screens, or in nvidia-settings
[22:04] <ArthurArchnix> elonole: What did you use pidgin for and what do you want the alternate to do?
[22:04] <mouseboyx> I just want to know how to make it so that I can enter in an ip so that my domain will work, currently, phpmouse.com does nothing, I need to make it point to my IP, with godaddy.
[22:04] <aghachi> indygunfreak: my right now?
[22:04] <pier357_> excused as he is the commando who to see the hd mounts to you? or
[22:04] <pier357_> however it connects to you
[22:05] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: yes, where do you set the hz settings..
[22:05] <Indiadev_Techie> elonole: for linux ???
[22:05] <tanath> Slart, fg was black, bg/erase was white. had to flip them
[22:05] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; I typed the mount, and it said "failed to access '/ev/disk/by-uuid/2aeca53feca5066': No such file or directory"
[22:05] <Slart> elonole: there's amsn.. pidgin.. and a kde variant I can't remember the name of =)
[22:05] <elonole> better graphics with what the pidgin does

[22:06] <Slart> keithclark: sounds like a very unix setup... you should be able to use X-windows for that.. I think that's what it's good at in the first place.. network transparenct etc

[22:09] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: i guess you can try reinstalling it, but stop messing with screens in the system menu, just use nvidia-settings tos et hz, etc.
[22:09] <Slart> jk_: we didn't force you to install ubuntu.. so no use crying about it here
[22:09] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; How do I change the mount point though?

[22:09] <jk_> i cant get windows back and this os sucks so much now i need to get a new tower
[22:09] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: you need to make a new empty directory somewhere, and replace the /media/sda1 with the full path of this new directory
[22:09] <xiix> thanks : i have 2 pcs on 4 port adsl router using ubuntu 7.10 - can i connect via lan to the other computer?

[22:10] <jk_> what refund?
[22:10] <Slart> Stylee: hm.. I'm googling for it now.. let's see what is out there
[22:10] <speeddemon8803> jk_, whining gets us nowhere in here. :)
[22:10] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: here's an example:: in a terminal::  mkdir /media/windows
[22:10] <Squawk> jk_, the point being, its free
[22:10] <xiix> ? how can i share files?
[22:10] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: makes the directory, and then in fstab you replace /media/sda1 with /media/windows
[22:10] <Squawk> jk_, if you think its crap, g find an alternative
[22:10] <binaries-AP1> xiix: there has to be some form of hard ware inbetween that acts as a transmitter
[22:10] <jk_> i no its free man but still man make it look a little better
[22:10] <aghachi> indygunfreak: wtf lol theres no settings to change now aaah
[22:11] <Squawk> jk_, look? err, change it?
[22:11] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: i forgot ... you have to use sudo to make the directory
[22:11] <binaries-AP1> xiix: like a router
[22:11] <Name> look better? i suppose you havent got compiz working then?
[22:11] <ArthurArchnix> jk_: Do you have a question? If not please take complaints to #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:11] <krammer> is it safe to run fsck?
[22:11] <IndyGunFreak> aghachi: you'ev done something i can't figure out... why were you changing screens anyways?.. thast what nvidia-settings is fr.
[22:11] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; so I just do this on that drive, then have the computer mount the folder?
[22:11] <xiix> theyre pluged into a 4 port adsl router, will that not work?
[22:11] <Squawk> krammer, umount the drive before runnig it, but yes
[22:11] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: fstab will mount it to wherever you say, provided the directory exists
[22:12] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: i can do it with you now if you want
[22:12] <jk_> can u help me get msn cuz i really need it bad becaues pidgin doesnt support camera?
[22:12] <chazco> Anyone here using Textmaker on Gusty able to explain how to get the msttcorefonts to work correctly?

[22:12] <brobostigon> jk_: amsn does webcam
[22:12] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; Can I have it use a shortcut to mount? The thing is is that two of my drives also share data with windows, and I need to access some of the data on those drives....
[22:12] <aghachi> indygunfreak, im trying to setup dual monitors, but when i do its gets scrolly, and i think its due to the first monitor cannot handle the second monitors refresh rate so i wanted to override the settigns to see if that works if not just go to normal and forget about it
[22:12] <Stylee> thanks Star
[22:12] <binaries-AP1> xiix: which distro are you running ?
[22:13] <jk_> i tryed to install amsn but when i open it nothing happens i dont know like what to click

[22:13] <binaries-AP1> xiix: your online so the problem is probably that your folders havnt been given to the shared foled
[22:13] <Slart> Stylee: are you sure the game is really running in fullscreen? I read someplace that it only uses a maximized window
[22:13] <brobostigon> jk_: run amsn from cli, it will then show any errors when it runs in that terminal
[22:14] <joanki> if i am looking for a phrase inside any file, what command do i type in terminal?

[22:14] <PriceChild> xiix: system > admin > shared folders
[22:14] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; I want to completely change the current mount point

[22:16] <Zayne> Good afternoon! I'm considering installing Ubuntu, running off LiveCD right now, but unsure if my graphic card is fully supported. I was hoping for some advice..
[22:16] <jk_> i know it uses pidgin but pidgin dont support webcam =(
[22:16] <brobostigon> bladezor: pidgin does msn
[22:16] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; I want the actual mount point to be "Disk C"
[22:16] <bladezor> brobostigon, that's what I meant
[22:16] <prince_jammys> Name: there's a space in  your file name!!!
[22:16] <Squawk> Name, then you typed something wrong in the rest of the command, CAn you paste it exactly as you wrote it pls
[22:16] <binaries-AP1> xiix> like windoze > linux?
[22:16] <prince_jammys> !filenames | Name
[22:16] <ubotu> Name: File names in Ubuntu are case sensitive, MyFile is not the same as myfile, and if you put spaces in there and use a console you need to "escape" the space, thus "gedit My\ File.txt"
[22:16] <bladezor> Does anyone have any experience with configuring multi-seat systems with Ubuntu? By multi-seat I mean being able to use two keyboards and mouse one computer with dual monitors running separate X servers.

[22:17] <thannoy> Name: * sudo mount...
[22:17] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: ok conventionally this would still go in /media  (ie /media/Disk_C ) do you mind that?
[22:17] <Slart> Stylee: hmm.. not to be nasty here.. but you did uncheck the "fullscreen" option in the configuration menu? under video?
[22:17] <jk_> can u configure the ubuntu firewall?
[22:17] <brobostigon> jk_: http://www.amsn-project.net/
[22:17] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: avoid spaces in names, like a plague
[22:17] <favoritefood0> prince_jammys; Nope. Just something other then "sda1"
[22:17] <Slart> jk_: yes.. it's called iptables
[22:18] <globe> Can anybody give me some hints as to how to recover un-finalized data from a DVD-RW?  dd returns nothing

[22:18] <Name> thannoy: "mount: can't find /dev/sdb1/media/My Book in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[22:18] <Name> "
[22:19] <Slart> Zayne: nope..
[22:19] <Stylee> Start the problem is that I can't see it, as it hide in the corner, I see just a small piece... I guess I will try to find the cfg or something

[22:21] <binaries-AP1> xiix: are you using the router right now ?
[22:21] <prince_jammys> favoritefood0: correct.  you will do  sudo umount /media/sda1 followed by sudo mount /media/drive_c

[22:22] <Cew27> prince_jammys: hey dont suppose you can help me can you
[22:22] <binaries-AP1> xiix: check to see that your firewall does not conflict your settings ( if you have one

[22:22] <mneptok> answer: 42
[22:22] <prince_jammys> Cew27: sorry that's a new one for me
[22:22] <Slart> neeto: there are some keymap options in System, Preferences, Keyboard. See if you find anything useful there
[22:22] <pange1> sorry to ask again: what does "profiling your boot" means when you've already used bootchart and bootlog?

[22:23] <Squawk> Name, two points. First, mv "My Book" to "My_book". then you need a space after 3g and after sdb1. And finaly, you need to start the command with sudo
[22:23] <ere4si> neeto: edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file or open the control center - select keyboard - default
[22:23] <neeto> ere4si:  thanks

[22:23] <xiix> i dont have a firewall running
[22:23] <Slart> pange1: I think I read about a profiling option for the boot process somewhere.. might have been a grub option.. can't really remember

[22:35] <kraypius>  slart, i know i cant find individual tutorials but like.. doesnt apache need to work with bind?

[22:35] <levander> I'm having to use Windows drivers and ndiswrapper for my video card.  Should I use the XP or Vista drivers for it?
[22:36] <Photocopy> ere4si http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57887/
[22:36] <CorruptTerrorist> Name, W-H-Y did you make the bot send me a second antivirus message?
[22:36] <Flare183> levander: xp
[22:36] <ere4si> k
[22:36] <nickrud> levander: you need the msdos driver with ndiswrapper and video
[22:36] <cambazz> Slart: it wont give me any errors from the terminal
[22:36] <levander> Flare183: thanks
[22:36] <Slart> kraypius: nah.. not normally.. unless you want to do something weird for a LAN or so.. a normal webserver doesn't have to mess with bind (DNS server)
[22:36] <Flare183> levander: no problem
[22:36] <Flare183> nickrud: i used Xp Drivers and they worked fine
[22:36] <cambazz> Start: it makes as if playing
[22:36] <Corty> Is there any way i can force the system tray to always show up two lines using kde?
[22:36] <cambazz> i guess it might be a codec
[22:36] <nickrud> Flare183: video and ndiswrapper?

[22:36] <CorruptTerrorist> oh ok
[22:36] <LjL-Temp> CorruptTerrorist, why did you send a message to yourself to begin with?
[22:36] <Slart> cambazz: then see if you can make it print out debug messages.. a --verbose switch perhaps.. or --debug
[22:37] <jk_> can anyopne help me download frostwire or limewire?
[22:37] <Flare183> nickrud: nope not that way but with hold up
[22:37] <Photocopy> Corty: Try #kubuntu... I know its annoying to hear this
[22:37] <Flare183> !limewire | jk_
[22:37] <ubotu> jk_: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install /msg ubotu java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider /msg ubotu FrostWire as an alternative.
[22:37] <PriceChild> jk_: sudo apt-get install frostwire
[22:37] <CorruptTerrorist> LjL-Temp, i wanted to read that information
[22:37] <Corty> Photocopy, Of course ;)
[22:37] <KyleSloderbeck> Hey there, I've checked the forums and I have an error I cannot seem to find.
[22:37] <nickrud> Flare183: I was being sarcastic, video doesn't use ndiswrapper
[22:37] <LjL-Temp> !msgthebot > CorruptTerrorist
[22:37] <Zyferian> Limewire is illegal for music downloading, for the record.
[22:37] <Flare183> nickrud: yeah that's what I'm saying
[22:37] <Photocopy> ere4si anything?
[22:37] <cambazz> Slart: well it says plaing stream
[22:37] <Slart> Zyferian: that would depend on what music you download.. or?
[22:37] <Squawk> !ask | KyleSloderbeck
[22:37] <Flare183> levander: you can't do that ndiswrapper is for wireless stuff
[22:37] <ubotu> KyleSloderbeck: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)

[22:41] <chris0> jk_: or Ctrl+ mouse wheel
[22:41] <Flare183> yeah that too
[22:41] <ere4si> Photocopy, that should make it executable - in terminal type   ./"file"
[22:41] <Beric> It is HDA_Nvidia, windows used a realtek driver for it
[22:41] <ere4si> Photocopy, ./"file".sh
[22:41] <gnychis> anyone know where alsa sound levels are stored?

[22:42] <ubotu> FFEMTcJ: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[22:42] <CorruptTerrorist> each time i put my computer into suspend, it just turns off!!! how do i sort this out?
[22:42] <Flare183> You mean what is
[22:42] <Xintruder> Guys believe this or not, but ubuntu w/lan card drivers gives me a longer range than window xp's, also xp d/c alot and linux never did sicne instalaltion, same location, exact same location.
[22:42] <jk_> i installed frostwire and its on applications>>internet but when i click it it dont open. whys that?
[22:43] <Xintruder> Is this possible or am I crazy
[22:43] <Flare183> CorruptTerrorist: you can't i don't think, It's your Power Supply
[22:43] <ArthurArchnix> Beric: Nevermind. You just need to add the right option to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-conf in all liklihood. For me it was  options snd-hda-intel model=laptop  but that could seriously mess up your sound. You need to find the right line, like that, but for your audio card.  Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups.
[22:44] <nickrud> jk_: sudo apt-get install  sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jre
[22:44] <Beric> ArthurArchnix: Thanks, I'll check it out
[22:44] <ere4si> Photocopy, say it don't type it :)
[22:44] <Odd-rationale> pak: Did you add yourself to the vbox users?
[22:44] <hischild> pak, you have to add yourself to the virtualbox group
[22:44] <pak> i think i did
[22:44] <Photocopy> ere4si: chmod: invalid mode: `ben:ben'
[22:44] <pak> i'm not sure if i did it right, i'm sorry if i'm asking rookie questions
[22:44] <hischild> pak, go to system->adminstration->users and groups
[22:44] <Odd-rationale> pak: Double-ckeck. You will have to log out to tkae effect
[22:45] <jk_> nickrud thank you
[22:45] <nickrud> pak: you need to log out completely for it to take effect
[22:45] <thannoy> CorruptTerrorist: You could try looking around "acpi", google it up. But As it was said before, it is not perfectly supported
[22:45] <pignu> hi - i have a question, is it safe to run higher resolution then your monitor support, like, my monitor says it support 1024 x 768 16,7 mil colors, 24 bit intern support... i'm on laptop and i think thats quite small, is it safe to increase the resolution you run?
[22:45] <gnychis> how do you get common icons on the desktop? like drives, trash, home directory... etc
[22:45] <hischild> pak, click on groups, scroll down to virtualbox, click properties, make sure that it's ticked next to yourname
[22:45] <CorruptTerrorist> thannoy, i don't think it acpi
[22:45] <ArthurArchnix> Beric: I've found people that say that line works for your card too. So, you can try it. Restart, see if it works. If it doesn'twork after restart, go back in that file and remove that line, restart, back to square one.
[22:45] <nickrud> pignu: no, you don't want to overdrive your monitor
[22:45] <jk_> is it possible to make the desktop look like a giant cube and make it move around?
[22:45] <hischild> jk_, it's called compiz-fusion
[22:45] <pignu> ok :(
[22:46] <chris0> pignu: you can, it just acts weird. your screen becomes like a little scrolly window, like the screen magnifier
[22:46] <nickrud> !compiz  > jk_
[22:46] <pike_> pignu: youll likely just get an 'out of range' error
[22:46] <pak> it wasn't ticked!
[22:46] <bluewraith> !compiz-fusion | jk_
[22:46] <ubotu> jk_: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[22:46] <jk_> how do i make it?
[22:46] <ere4si> Photocopy, ok - your user has a group you need to find - open users and groups from system in the menu - and can you link me to the paste again?
[22:46] <pak> hischild - Thanks so much!!!!
[22:46] <pignu> well its possible but i notice it shimmer
[22:46] <hischild> pak, then tick it, click ok/apply
[22:46] <pignu> alittle more
[22:46] <hischild> pak, you're welcome
[22:46] <Flare183> jk_: you install compiz-fusion
[22:46] <Photocopy> ere4si: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57887/
[22:46] <chris0> pignu: that's weird!
[22:46] <jk_> okay thank flare
[22:46] <Odd-rationale> pak: Don't forget to log out.
[22:46] <Flare183> thanks*
[22:46] <jk_> lol
[22:47] <SkinnYPuppY> pak I did this 30 minutes ago just what they said works perfect
[22:47] <pak> hischild - now log off? or just try virtual box again and pray it'll work?
[22:47] <Photocopy> ere4si: How do I know what group im in?
[22:47] <pak> Skinny - COOL !
[22:47] <hischild> pak, logout
[22:47] <hischild> pak, otherwise it won't recognize the new settings
[22:47] <binaries-AP1> pak: you could try using wine, it will deffinitly give you better run time
[22:47] <mthed> has anyone else had problems using compiz fusion. I have this problem where the top bar of the window (the one with close minimize window and so on) disappears.
[22:48] <pak> wine is better then virtual box?

[22:48] <binaries-AP1> pak: Wine Is not Emulator
[22:48] <Slart> pak: wine is different from virtual box
[22:48] <Odd-rationale> pak: depends. what windows programs you need to run...
[22:48] <jacobian__> X crashes every time I boot,  but if I do: sudo rmmod nvidia ; /etc/init.d gdm restart
[22:48] <jacobian__> then everything is grand
[22:48] <jacobian__> how can I get that not to happen?
[22:48] <jk_> how do i erase the passwrod from my pc ?
[22:48] <SkinnYPuppY> Virtual box method is easier
[22:48] <Photocopy> ere4si: Im in the ben group
[22:49] <Daisuke_Ido> jacobian__: how did you install the nvidia driver?
[22:49] <gnychis> how do you get common icons on the desktop? like drives, trash, home directory... etc
[22:49] <binaries-AP1> pak: wine contains the "translations" needed to run windows applications under a unix system
[22:49] <pignu> i'm not sure who to folllow tho, one suggest its not good to overdrive the monitor the other says its ok, it just acts weird :(
[22:49] <ere4si> Photocopy, that script says alot about arch - what do you need it for?
[22:49] <jacobian__> Daisuke_Ido: It's been ages, I can't remember, this only started happening after an X update
[22:49] <two_bits> hello... I have a problem with playing videos sometimes
[22:49] <Photocopy> ere4si: executing it should make warsow run.
[22:49] <Odd-rationale> I noticed that running XP in vbox uses less memory resources than running ie6 under wine. I am really impressed with vbox!
[22:50] <two_bits> occasionally, my videos stop working and only show a green screen. The audio still works. I've tried different applications, but I have the same problems
[22:50] <binaries-AP1> pak: if your using 7.10 then wine from the add remove appshould work flawlessly
[22:50] <two_bits> i suspect gstreamer is the culprit
[22:50] <Photocopy> ere4si: A game i played when i had windows but then i found out the zip has linux files too
[22:50] <chris0> gnychis: to to the terminal and type gconf-editor. In there, you can tell it to display home/Computer/etc. on the Desktop
[22:50] <ere4si> Photocopy, if it wants to interact with the system and you own it that won't work - see if you can find out if it should be somewhere other than your /home folder
[22:50] <jacobian__> Daisuke_Ido: the crash is from a complaint about incompatible version numbers
[22:50] <Viper111> guys i need help if u can help me
[22:50] <KyleSloderbeck> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57888/plain/ :)
[22:50] <hischild> pignu, it depends on your monitor. In general, it's designed for a specific resolution. Going higher then that resolution is basically useless, it won't do you much good.

[22:50] <Flare183> !ask | Viper111
[22:50] <tinman> Hmm, my x server is still not working, i seem to have made other things work, but now the mouse dosent work
[22:51] <Flare183> oops
[22:51] <tinman> any ideas?
[22:51] <Photocopy> ere4si: How am i supposed to find that out? It came as a zip file. Where can I safely put it anyway?
[22:51] <speeddemon8803> Flare183, beat you to it :)
[22:51] <bluewraith> anyone know how to test if incoming port 80 is blocked by ISP? shieldsup reports all ports stealthed, even with router firewall off
[22:51] <Flare183> speeddemon8803: yeah
[22:51] <Viper111> i have ubuntu 5.04 i need to upgrade to the latst version what are the needed repositories to do that
[22:51] <tinman> I tries choosing psaux and PS/2 fo r mouse
[22:51] <tinman> didnt work

[22:51] <chris0> gnychis: it's in apps>nautilus.desktop
[22:51] <Squawk> jpatrick, err, why did you just send me that?
[22:51] <Photocopy>  ere4si: I run GW in wine out of my home folder... I dont see how this could be different.
[22:51] <Viper111> i'll ytry thanks
[22:52] <jk_> like everytimne i go to a site or anything else they say my ip how cna i make it notvisible?
[22:52] <ere4si> Photocopy, there should be a forum/home page/wiki - it seems that it wants to acces your system and with you owning it it can't do that
[22:52] <gnychis> chris0: thanks!
[22:52] <jpatrick> Squawk: "we're getting a ton variations on this theme"
[22:52] <chris0> gnychis: no prob.
[22:52] <pak> So wine is better then virtual box right?
[22:52] <binaries-AP1> jk_ use tor (firefox addon)
[22:52] <pak> to run windows xp
[22:52] <Slart> jk_: *sob*... just don't worry about it.. please.. trust me.. you .. do.. not.. have .. to ... worry.. about.. it
[22:52] <Squawk> jk_, you cant make your ip invisible, otherwise how would they know hwere to send the data to
[22:52] <Flare183> pak: depends
[22:52] <bluewraith> jk_, Your IP is like your home address. Without it, you'd never get bills, or pizza, or visits from distant relatives.
[22:52] <ere4si> Photocopy, there you go - try the good folks at #winehq - I don't do wine
[22:52] <Photocopy> ere4si: They just include teh stuff, they dont have guides on running it in linux.. besides i figure it would have been the same as running a bat in winblows
[22:52] <Flare183> bluewraith: yeah really
[22:52] <Daisuke_Ido> Viper111: if you're still running 5.04, you may as well install 7.10 fresh
[22:53] <Flare183> bluewraith: hehe
[22:53] <pak> Flare - what is the benefit of either or?
[22:53] <Photocopy> ere4si: Im not running warsow in wine
[22:53] <killown> I use the  show desktop function a lot  and everytime i use it, the screenlets minimize too. theres a way to keep them always in the desktop?
[22:53] <jk_> oh i thought they could hack me with knowing my ip
[22:53] <tinman> Anyone have any ideas to get my mouse working?
[22:53] <Squawk> jpatrick, you mean my submission? I just figured it fitted better than the "ask" output for a lot of situations
[22:53] <pak> i'm new at this but i do need windows so which is the best way to go?
[22:53] <Photocopy> ere4si: so wine has nothing to do with this at all
[22:53] <ere4si> k
[22:53] <hischild> pak, wine is not a virtual machine like virtual box is. Vbox can run basically every app, where wine cannot. Wine can run games, where vbox is not that good. It depends on the apps you're trying to run. So enlighten us, what apps do you want to run?
[22:53] <Daisuke_Ido> because the upgrade process is going to be fraught with peril
[22:53] <tinman> jk_: depends..
[22:53] <jacobian__> Daisuke_Ido: Do you imagine a reinstall of nvidia might be in order?
[22:53] <bluewraith> Flare183, Only one of those are welcome most of the time, though. :)
[22:53] <Squawk> jk_, every website you ever visit knows your ip (unless you connect through a proxy)
[22:53] <Photocopy> ere4si: It has linux crap in there.
[22:53] <thannoy> bluewraith: your port 80 is open
[22:53] <Flare183> pak: ok if you are like playing games then wine, but for like big things that is different
[22:53] <pak> hischild - i would like to run office xp, vpn connection, basic office stuff
[22:53] <pak> using windows :)
[22:53] <Flare183> pak: like for example autodesk inventor
[22:53] <GirlConfused> Woa.. this is a huge room!!!!!
[22:54] <bluewraith> thannoy, thanks. were you able to connect to the apache server then?
[22:54] <KyleSloderbeck> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57888/plain/ has my problem on it.!!.
[22:54] <jk_> the guy who was helping me install java
[22:54] <thannoy> bluewraith: ops, error, skip my previoous msg
[22:54] <Flare183> GirlConfused: yeap
[22:54] <bluewraith> thannoy, blarg
[22:54] <GirlConfused> :)
[22:54] <Daisuke_Ido> jacobian__: possibly, but i don't know enough about the situation to know for sure
[22:54] <hischild> pak, why do you want m$ office when you got open office? and there are vpn solutions for linux ... but yeah, for that you need vbox ...
[22:54] <monte> xt hard drive (usb) 80 gib and it wont let me mount anyone kno why
[22:54] <jk_> now its saying package configuration what do i d?
[22:54] <pak> lol GirlConfused it is a HUGE room and FRIENDLY people
[22:54] <KyleSloderbeck> jk_ what version are you using of ubuntu?
[22:54] <GirlConfused> just installed Ubuntu...
[22:54] <GirlConfused> P:)
[22:54] <tanath> i seem to have a theme problem
[22:54] <Flare183> GirlConfused: and a huge community
[22:54] <jk_> im using 7.10
[22:54] <GirlConfused> that's rather rare..
[22:54] <GirlConfused> :)
[22:54] <hischild> GirlConfused, who are helpfull ;-)
[22:54] <KyleSloderbeck> Have you been to a website with flash?
[22:54] <GirlConfused> friendly is rare..
[22:54] <tanath> i changed to a dark theme and back, and now certain text is invisible (due to being white)
[22:54] <pak> hischild - I'm just more comfortable using office, i'm trying open office but it's still lacking things I'm used to in office.
[22:54] <jk_> i have
[22:54] <GirlConfused> very much so
[22:54] <tanath> i can't seem to change the colour
[22:55] <Flare183> GirlConfused: yeah well welcome to the world of Ubuntu
[22:55] <speeddemon8803> So..girlconfused, welcome to ubuntu, we are happy you decided to check us out :)
[22:55] <Photocopy> GirlConfused: Dont think thats entirely true, alot of people here have given me alot of ignorant crap.
[22:55] <pak> hischild - gona restart, hopefully i can install windows afterwards ;0
[22:55] <ere4si> Photocopy, you own it but are getting permission probs and it looks like it wants to access the system - that won't work - someone else may know a workaround but I'm at the limit of my knowledge now - sorry
[22:55] <binaries-AP1> Jk : there is a way to stay invisible,  ( your pc wont respond to pingings ) however these things are needed to compute. your computer also has a mac adress this does not change, however your network id (ip address) does change. it is assigned to you every time you connect to your router
[22:55] <Flare183> Photocopy: well we don't try to do that
[22:55] <jk_> but when i go to youtube the page starts going black and video goes really slow
[22:55] <tanath> can anyone help me fix this?
[22:55] <monte> i have an external hard drive (USB) 80 gig and it says it unable to mount anyone know why
[22:55] <Flare183> !anyone | tanath
[22:55] <ubotu> tanath: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[22:55] <Slart> Photocopy: nevermind me.. I'm the black sheep of the community
[22:55] <GirlConfused> Thank you!  I've heard about office running in wine, but it would be more usefull to run it in vbox in that case. Alongside your requirement for vpn, i suggest vbox
[22:55] <Flare183> tanath: not me
[22:56] <Beric> I wanted to edit, etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base , but it says I have no permission to save the edited file. How can I log in as root on Ubuntu?
[22:56] <tanath> Flare183, hm?
[22:56] <Flare183> !sudo | Beric
[22:56] <ubotu> Beric: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[22:56] <nickrud> lart slart
[22:56] <Slart> !root | Beric
[22:56] <ubotu> Beric: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[22:56] <KyleSloderbeck> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57888/plain/ help would be gratly appreciated.
[22:56] <Flare183> @lart Slart
[22:56] <tanath> Flare183, you're the one who directed the 'anyone' thing at me
[22:56] <tinman> I was trying to fix x server after it suddenly stopped workig, i have finally fixed a few of the things but can't get the mouse to work, any ideas?
[22:56] <Slart> yea yea.. sticks and stones ... etc
[22:56] <Beric> Thanks all! :)
[22:56] <Flare183> tanath: oh yeah sorry wrong nick
[22:57] <Flare183> Beric: no problem
[22:57] <GirlConfused> Hopefully when the update is done you guys can help me get my Nvidia drivers up and happy
[22:57] <tanath> Flare183, you sure?
[22:57] <jk_> CAN ANYONE HELP ME INSTALL FROSTWIRE PROPERLY please
[22:57] <tinman> jk_: can you stop souting please?
[22:57] <Flare183> tanath: yeah really sorry about that
[22:57] <hischild> !shout | jk_
[22:57] <ubotu> jk_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[22:57] <Flare183> !caps | jk_
[22:57] <Slart> Beric: edit the file using "gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base" . That way the editor runs as root and can save the file
[22:57] <Photocopy> ere4si: Its in the repos, but its incredibly out of date version
[22:57] <monte> does anyone kno why an external hardrive will not mount
[22:57] <pak> windows is installing :0
[22:57] <hischild> GirlConfused, i'm fairly sure we can do that ...
[22:57] <jk_> it was caps sorry
[22:57] <hischild> pak, told you :-)
[22:57] <tanath> can anyone help me fix this font colour issue?
[22:57] <Slart> Beric: note.. gksu for gui apps.. sudo for command line stuff
[22:57] <GirlConfused> yay thanks Hischild
[22:58] <pak> hischild - you're great dude
[22:58] <GirlConfused> i will PM you in a while
[22:58] <KyleSloderbeck> My problems with synaptic package manager http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57888/plain/.
[22:58] <Flare183> Beric: yeah and kdesu for kde programs
[22:58] <pak> quick question - i'm in windows setup and its asking to install on Unpartioned space 3481 mb
[22:58] <pak> is that right?
[22:58] <pak> or should a create a partition in the unpartioned space?
[22:58] <ere4si> Photocopy, may have found a helpful link - one min
[22:58] <hischild> pak, that was easy :-) considering it took me 10 hours and a dozen ppl here to get my pc up and running :p you're more then welcome
[22:58] <Slart> pak: windows setup?
[22:58] <nickrud> KyleSloderbeck: sudo apt-get -f install , if that doesn't fix it, put the complete output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[22:58] <pak> correct windows setup
[22:59] <pak> wow this is amazing , EVERYONE HERE IS HELPINGGGGG!!!! lol
[22:59] <Slart> pak: wubi? or are you installing windows?
[22:59] <Flare183> !wnidows | pak
[22:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wnidows - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:59] <tinman> pak: disdifragment you windows partition first, then make a partition then install
[22:59] <binaries-AP1> pak: that wouldnt be emulation now would it ?
[22:59] <pak> i'm installing windows
[22:59] <Flare183> !windows | pak
[22:59] <ubotu> pak: For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents
[22:59] <CorruptTerrorist> what's the password for /scripts/setup.php in phpmyadmin?
[22:59] <Photocopy> is there a such thing as a swap partition too big?
[22:59] <hischild> pak, you've created a virtual hard disk. you can just use any space it says it has as it doesn't affect yoru real hard disk
[22:59] <Flare183> Photocopy: maybe
[22:59] <pak> oh ok
[22:59] <PriceChild> Photocopy: if its so big that you've got no space for .
[22:59] <hischild> guys! he's using virtualbox for it ... ##windows wouldn't be much help in there
[22:59] <pak> so the disk its showing is the space i created right?
[22:59] <Photocopy> Flare183: How so?
[22:59] <PriceChild> Photocopy: gah, /
[22:59] <jk_> i dont got dualbot does that mena that windows xp is completely erased from my computer?
[22:59] <hischild> pak, correct
[22:59] <tinman> pak: you have ubuntu installed and are going to install iwndows?
[23:00] <Slart> Photocopy: I think so, yes.. I think I read something about a big swap making a mess somehow
[23:00] <tanath> this is really frustrating
[23:00] <hischild> tinman, no, only in vbox
[23:00] <tanath> i can't read certain text
[23:00] <tinman> ahh
[23:00] <Flare183> Photocopy: like if you make it too big i might just be too much swap space
[23:00] <pak> hischild - format the partition using NTFS, FAT? quick for both also? which one ?
[23:00] <Photocopy> Slart: Crap... Mines 7gb.
[23:00] <ele-mugv> hi all
[23:00] <Jowi> tanath, try log out and log in again
[23:00] <hischild> pak, quick for ntfs
[23:00] <pak> tinman - i'm trying to get use to ubuntu, have to take it slowly
[23:00] <pak> :)
[23:00] <tanath> Jowi, that's a thought
[23:00] <Slart> Photocopy: but it might have been for kernel 1.5 or something.. it was a long time ago
[23:00] <ere4si> Photocopy, there's a few bugs listed about that game being outdated...
[23:00] <tinman> hischild: can you maybe help me with this x server issue, it stopped working but now i can get it to work but my mouse dosent work
[23:00] <pak> hischild - thanks bro!
[23:00] <jk_> is widnows xp completely erased from my computer or not?
[23:00] <Jowi> tanath, probably some part of the old theme is still in use. loggin out would solve that
[23:01] <tanath> Jowi, indeed
[23:01] <hischild> tinman, i've had some serious issues with my own xserver ... i'll have to figure those out first i'm afraid  ...
[23:01] <Flare183> jk_: maybe
[23:01] <GirlConfused> guys is there a shortcut to switch between desktops?
[23:01] <hischild> tinman, i'm currently back on metacity
[23:01] <tanath> where would i file a bug report for an issue that affects most of the web? :P
[23:01] <tinman> hischild: lol, okey
[23:01] <nickrud> GirlConfused: ctl-alt-left/right arrow
[23:01] <jk_> flare what do u mena maybe?
[23:01] <GirlConfused> :-D
[23:01] <pak> i hope dual desktops is a possibility with ubuntu?
[23:01] <prince_jammys> jk_: are you logged into ubuntu right now?
[23:01] <jk_> mean*
[23:01] <KyleSloderbeck> Nickrud : There is no output to that command.
[23:01] <ele-mugv> alt +ctrl +left
[23:01] <jk_> yes im in ubuntu because i dont have dual boot
[23:01] <Flare183> jk_: system, computer and see if there is another hard drive icon in the window
[23:01] <hischild> GirlConfused, once you've got your drivers up and running you can enable the cube after which you can use ctrl alt leftarrow and rightarrow
[23:01] <binaries-AP1> GirlConfused: enable them with prefeances
[23:01] <nickrud> KyleSloderbeck: there will be something
[23:02] <Slart> GirlConfused: depends on which desktops.. the compiz ones might be.. ctrl+shift+arrows.. or mousewheel on the desktop
[23:02] <pak> does ubuntu support DUAL MONITORS?
[23:02] <tinman> hischild: i have no idea what i am on, but vesa with some random bashing of my head on keyboard fixed it a bit but i killed my mouse in the process
[23:02] <hischild> pak, yes it does
[23:02] <Flare183> LjL-Temp: would it be a good time to do the traffic factiod
[23:02] <pak> yes!
[23:02] <DrX> pak: yes, but 7.10 has some issues with them
[23:02] <GirlConfused> i cant wait for the cube!
[23:02] <Flare183> !dualmonitor | pak
[23:02] <ubotu> pak: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[23:02] <Photocopy> ere4si: Its okay, ill just give up on it.. linux is freakin hard
[23:02] <prince_jammys> jk_: type in a terminal::   sudo fdisk -l    <-- and see if there's a partition marked "NTFS"
[23:02] <GirlConfused> and the wobbley windows
[23:02] <hischild> tinman, alright ... in console type --> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg <--
[23:02] <pak> flare why do you type like that?  !dualmonitor | pak
[23:02] <Photocopy> GirlConfused: If you're coming from windows you probably wont use the cube much
[23:02] <binaries-AP1> GirlConfused: get compif config
[23:02] <tinman> hischild: yeah, that's what i have been doing
[23:02] <Slart> GirlConfused: overrated.. you'll be watching it spin for 10 minutes and then shut it down forever =)
[23:02] <GirlConfused> umm...
[23:02] <tanath> Photocopy, some things may be difficult at first, but it's worth it
[23:02] <Flare183> GirlConfused: you get your video card fixed then you can install compiz
[23:02] <GirlConfused> :)
[23:02] <binaries-AP1> GirlConfused: get compiz config
[23:02] <nickrud> KyleSloderbeck: even if it's as little as Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree  Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[23:03] <tinman> hischild: trying random configuration till i found one that worked :<
[23:03] <Flare183> pak: easier
[23:03] <jk_> this is what it says
[23:03] <GirlConfused> im getting it in the 250mb update.. go slow on me here
[23:03] <jk_>  sudo fdisk
[23:03] <Photocopy> tanath: I just dont understand why executing a shell script isnt as easy as execing a bat in windows... but i hav eto go
[23:03] <tanath> Photocopy, to avoid all the hassles of windows (ie., viruses, spyware, etc)
[23:03] <Flare183> pak: instead of actually talking to the bot
[23:03] <tanath> Photocopy, it should be
[23:03] <jk_> this is waht it says lol
[23:03] <DrX> can a regular user add items to a GNOME menu?
[23:03] <prince_jammys> jk_: no::  sudo fdisk -l
[23:03] <CorruptTerrorist> what's the password for /scripts/setup.php in phpmyadmin? it keeps asking for a username and password
[23:03] <jk_> Usage: fdisk [-l] [-b SSZ] [-u] device
[23:03] <jk_> E.g.: fdisk /dev/hda  (for the first IDE disk)
[23:03] <jk_>   or: fdisk /dev/sdc  (for the third SCSI disk)
[23:03] <jk_>   or: fdisk /dev/eda  (for the first PS/2 ESDI drive)
[23:03] <jk_>   or: fdisk /dev/rd/c0d0  or: fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0  (for RAID devices)
[23:03] <jk_>   ...
[23:03] <hischild> pak, when ppl say something like !dual | pak, watch for the message ubotu gives just after that. He's a bot responding .
[23:03] <Flare183> !paste | jk_
[23:03] <ubotu> jk_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[23:03] <ere4si> Photocopy, tried reading here? - http://www.warsow.net/forum/
[23:03] <ele-mugv> I'm running at internet connection using my n73 and a bluetooth adapter
[23:03] <Slart> Photocopy: it is.. but there are broken scripts in linux as well as in windows
[23:03] <tanath> Photocopy, unless it's a security issue
[23:03] <hischild> jk_, use pastebin please.
[23:03] <PriceChild> "/script exec $ENV{'TZ'}='Europe/London';"
[23:03] <PriceChild> gah
[23:03] <tinman> CorruptTerrorist: root with no password for default?
[23:03] <Photocopy> tanath it gives me permissions errors when im the owner, it gives me all kinds of other hell.
[23:03] <tanath> Photocopy, security/permissions
[23:03] <Flare183> jk_: or the bot will kick you
[23:04] <tanath> Photocopy, needs to be executable too
[23:04] <Photocopy> Slart: Its from a pretty reliable source
[23:04] <prince_jammys> jk_: with an -l   on the end
[23:04] <Photocopy> tanath: I did both those
[23:04] <ere4si> Photocopy, tremulous is supposed to be good
[23:04] <CorruptTerrorist> tinman, no
[23:04] <Flare183> PriceChild: oops right?
[23:04] <Photocopy> ere4si: It's not, I speak from experience.
[23:04] <Slart> Photocopy: it can still be broken.. or need some stuff before it can run
[23:04] <tanath> Photocopy, hm. how much time do you have?
[23:04] <Flare183> ere4si: tremulous rocks
[23:04] <Photocopy> tanath: Ill have forever and ever after I get back from the lan party
[23:04] <tanath> Photocopy, whatever it is, isn't a common issue i think
[23:04] <CorruptTerrorist> htpasswd.setup...  'admin:*'
[23:04] <jk_> This is what i got right now

[23:04] <FloodBot3> jk_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:04] <ere4si> Photocopy, k - I don't game
[23:04] <Photocopy> tanath: But i got like 10 mins now
[23:05] <Flare183> jk_: please use the pastebin
[23:05] <Photocopy> ere4si: For the record yknow -P
[23:05] <jk_> whats pastebin?
[23:05] <Photocopy> ere4si =P*
[23:05] <Slart> jk_: pastebin.. haven't I told you this already?.. never paste more than one line in here.. never ... ever
[23:05] <Flare183> !paste > jk_
[23:05] <tanath> Photocopy, well, i'm sure someone can help you. i actually need to go too :/
[23:05] <jk_> sorry
[23:05] <prince_jammys> jk_: stop pasting.  it looks like windows is gone
[23:05] <Flare183> jk_: no problem just please don't flood
[23:05] <Photocopy> tanath: I stumped a guy with my problem.
[23:05] <ere4si> Photocopy, don't give up 'cause its' new and takes some time
[23:05] <Flare183> I got to go people
[23:05] <pak> *just curious* When you're running xp on virtual, when you install something does it install on xp or on ubuntu? for example office xp?
[23:05] <HangukMiguk> I used a third-party repository to update pidgin to 2.3, but now, since 2.3.1 is in the multiverse, i'm trying to switch pidgin back to updating from the main repository.  however, after deleting the third-party repositories, it still shows their version number as the latest version.  help?
[23:06] <GirlConfused> hey guys, this update is going to take like 40min and I am sleepy so I will see u all in like 8 hours then you can help me get the nvidia stuff done and all the eye candy and make some serious recommendations around must have software! until then
[23:06] <Slart> you're trying to play warsow, right? I had that up and running before.. wonder what I did...
[23:06] <ele-mugv> how do i distribute an internet connection\
[23:06] <tanath> Photocopy, you did chmod +x ?
[23:06] <hischild> pak, it's a completely seperate thing. Nothing is switched between ubuntu and xp when using vbox.
[23:06] <Photocopy> ere4si: Been using linux for almost a year now... and am not that happy with it... I get the weirdest of problems
[23:06] <Photocopy> Slart: Right
[23:06] <tanath> Photocopy, no errors?
[23:06] <jk_> whos like the owner of ubuntu?
[23:06] <Slart> jk_: canonical
[23:06] <Photocopy> tanath: No i didnt do that
[23:06] <LjL-Temp> HangukMiguk, you will need to uninstall the installed copy
[23:06] <xxx> Ciao
[23:06] <tanath> Photocopy, what shell? what's the exact error?
[23:06] <Photocopy> jk_: Like, canonical or something
[23:06] <binaries-AP1> GirlConfused: that wont be very hard, it will be in system preferances
[23:06] <pak> hischild - so when you install something how do you choose where to go?
[23:06] <tanath> Photocopy, do that to make it executable
[23:06] <jk_> why did he make it free?
[23:06] <Photocopy> tanath: Idk what a shell is.. Errors like permission denied
[23:06] <LjL-Temp> jk_, ubuntu has no proper owner, anyway ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for support only
[23:07] <hischild> pak, it goes on the virtual disk that you created for windows
[23:07] <Photocopy> tanath: I made it executable from the properties window
[23:07] <pak> it'll automatically know?
[23:07] <Flare183> jk_: umm the founder is Mark Shuttleworth
[23:07] <Flare183> !sabdfl
[23:07] <KyleSloderbeck> Nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57890/. is what i got
[23:07] <ubotu> Mark "sabdfl" Shuttleworth is our favourite cosmonaut, the founder of Canonical and the primary driver behind Ubuntu. You can find pieces of his thinking at http://www.markshuttleworth.com
[23:07] <Slart> jk_: it's a linux distro.. it's hard to make it ... not-free.. while still using the kernel and the gnu stuff
[23:07] <tanath> Photocopy, then how do you know it's not running?
[23:07] <Photocopy> Flare193 theres a mark shuttleworth at my school... haha
[23:07] <tanath> Photocopy, if it's a script, you should be running it in a terminal
[23:07] <Flare183> !sabdfl | jk_
[23:07] <ubotu> jk_: please see above
[23:07] <tanath> Photocopy, that way you can see any output
[23:07] <Flare183> Flare183 yeah that's me
[23:07] <Photocopy> tanath: I did try to run it in a terminal
[23:07] <Slart> jk_: besides... I think he's got enough kaching already..
[23:07] <Photocopy> tanath: Thats where I get permission denied.
[23:07] <tanath> Photocopy, by what means? what command?
[23:07] <binaries-AP1> GirlConfused: it has a nice graphical user interface with some cool buttons and stuff ................have fun with its many many options
[23:08] <LjL-Temp> !ot
[23:08] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[23:08] <Photocopy> tanath: sh file.sh
[23:08] <tanath> Photocopy, then do 'chmod +x filename' in terminal
[23:08] <tanath> Photocopy, try './filename' instead
[23:08] <Slart> chmod a+x
[23:08] <tanath> Photocopy, after the chmod +x
[23:08] <Slart> or you don't need the first letter?
[23:08] <Flare183> see you guy later after I get done taking the SAT
[23:08] <Photocopy> tanath: jesus... later I don't have time.. and the ./filename didnt work either
[23:08] <tanath> Slart, i never used that
[23:08] <tanath> Photocopy, ok, well good luck
[23:09] <Photocopy> tanath: I appreciate the help but ill try tonight or tomorrow.
[23:09] <CorruptTerrorist> what's the password for /scripts/setup.php in phpmyadmin? it keeps asking for a username and password
[23:09] <pak> It's installing xp right now but the mouse isn't moving ??? what did i screw up on?
[23:09] <Photocopy> I gotta go in 10
[23:09] <neeto> My delete key stopped working, how can I fix this?
[23:09] <Slart> tanath: ahh.. it assumes 'a' if you don't put something there.. sweet.. learning new stuff all the time
[23:09] <binaries-AP1> pak : chill out man read a manual or something
[23:09] <nickrud> KyleSloderbeck: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[23:09] <binaries-AP1> pak:
[23:09] <ere4si> neeto: try hitting it harder :)
[23:09] <tanath> neeto, when did it stop? what changed?
[23:09] <Gibb> how do I see my symlinks?
[23:10] <binaries-AP1> pac: this is normal
[23:10] <tanath> neeto, make sure there's nothing under the key :P
[23:10] <KyleSloderbeck> Nickrud: I got it to work with the last thing you told me to write in. I had to do a few things before that would work though. Thanks a ton.
[23:10] <neeto> ere4si: now it's broken for good... thanks for the suggestion :( jk
[23:10] <Viper111> guys i have ubuntu hoary i need to upgrade it to the latest version
[23:10] <tanath> neeto, found a paperclip in a keyboard before that got stuck under the u key
[23:10] <nickrud> KyleSloderbeck: glad to point you in the right direction ;)
[23:10] <ere4si> neeto: oldish keyboard?
[23:10] <neeto> naw brand new
[23:10] <Viper111> i tried to edit the repositories to breezy but it dodnt work
[23:10] <Slart> Viper111: if I were you I'd go with a fresh install
[23:11] <neeto> tanath: it's software.
[23:11] <monte> hey can someone help me. i put and external hardrive on and it said it cannot mount.
[23:11] <Jowi> HangukMiguk, you can, in synaptic, select the package and go to Package -> force version, and chose the repo you want.
[23:11] <tinman> Hmm, any way to make the mouse protocol be auto detected? i am reading about somethin regarding editing xorg.conf to "Protocol" "auto" but the exact instructions are not given.
[23:11] <tanath> neeto, change the keyboard layout?
[23:11] <nickrud> Viper111: breezy is dead, it doensn't have official repos anymore (that is, supported ones)
[23:11] <Viper111> Slart man i have ubuntu 5.04 CD only
[23:11] <neeto> tanath: Because when I press the delete key, whatever I am using responds, but not by deleting.
[23:11] <robokop> i f*ck-up my grub, and when i try to do a grub-install it gives me "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
[23:11] <robokop> "
[23:11] <Viper111> so wat should put
[23:11] <tanath> neeto, sounds like it's mapped to something else. can you figure out what?
[23:11] <Gibb> how do I see a list of my symbolic links?
[23:11] <neeto> tanath: I've tried that.... hasn't helped
[23:12] <Slart> Viper111: well.. they are free to download.. or you can get one in the mail..
[23:12] <tanath> neeto, play around in System > Prefs > keyboard ?
[23:12] <neeto> tanath: I installed xkeycaps and nothing lights up when I hit delete
[23:12] <hischild> !grub | robokop
[23:12] <ubotu> robokop: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[23:12] <tanath> neeto, that's when it started?
[23:12] <Viper111> Slart man what should i do in specfic to upgarde to the latest
[23:12] <tanath> neeto, did you try uninstalling it?
[23:12] <binaries-AP1> Viper111: format and clean install
[23:13] <Slart> Viper111: I don't know how to do it on hoary.. I'm not even sure you can upgrade to the latest..
[23:13] <Viper111> ok i did now
[23:13] <Slart> !upgrade
[23:13] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[23:13] <neeto> tanath: xkeycaps? it was something I installed to fix the problem... xmodmap is a different story
[23:13] <tanath> ah
[23:13] <mrunagi> !smb
[23:13] <ubotu> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[23:13] <Viper111> ubotu i tried ur list but it didnt work
[23:13] <neeto> tanath: I don't want to use xmodmap at all, I don't have any use for it... is there a way I can stop it from loading?
[23:13] <tanath> neeto, i have xmodmap... haven't messed with it in months though, and don't remember how to do stuff with it :P
[23:13] <CorruptTerrorist> after installing phpmyadmin via the synaptic package manager, the setup script asks me for a username and password... what is it?
[23:13] <mkz> question: if I want a script to be executed daily from cron as root user, is it enough to add a symlin in /etc/cron.daily to my script?
[23:13] <Slart> ubotu is a bot.. he isn't really smart yet
[23:13] <tanath> neeto, make sure it's not in your sessions...
[23:14] <Viper111> hehe sorry now i found
[23:14] <neeto> tanath: alright /etc/X11/xinitrc?
[23:14] <Viper111> Slart so what should b done??
[23:14] <pak> LOL the entire time - my mouse was stuck in the xp screen and i couldn't bring it out here to type lol, just realized its CTRL :)
[23:14] <Gibb> So theres no way to get a list of my symlinks?
[23:14] <tanath> neeto, no, that's system stuff
[23:14] <neeto> tanath: ~/.*?
[23:14] <tanath> neeto, System > Prefs > session
[23:15] <tanath> neeto, there are a couple files in the home dir that can autostart stuff too, but i forget what they are
[23:15] <Jowi> Viper111, 5.04 is very old. there is no way to upgrade that version (to my knowledge). A fresh install is recommended.
[23:15] <tanath> neeto, but make sure it's not in your gnome session
[23:15] <monte> hello does any one in this room know why and external hardrive will not mount
[23:15] <tanath> neeto, or wherever you put it to start when you installed it
[23:15] <Slart> Viper111: you have my recommendation.. reinstall .. I can't help you with upgrading.. but ask the channel.. perhaps someone else knows
[23:15] <tanath> neeto, and, if you don't want it, why not uninstall it
[23:15] <neeto> tanath: got it. I forgot, I was trying to do something with... something, can't quite remember and I put a startup script for it :( My bad, thanks for the help
[23:15] <tanath> neeto, that's what i figured :)
[23:15] <Viper111> so if i installed 5.04 i cannt install pakages?
[23:16] <jk_> how can i remove passwrod from when i log on to the computer?
[23:16] <Slart> Gibb: symlinks are just files.. they can be all over your system.. why do you want a list of them all?
[23:16] <tanath> jk_, there's an autologin feature
[23:16] <pak> Is there a guide to beginners with Ubuntu installing XP using virtual machine, this way I can pretty much avoid all the questions please?
[23:16] <Jowi> Viper111, the reason why there is no upgrade path for you is because 5.04 support ended in late 2006 and the version after that ended in 2007. so you can't upgrade easily.
[23:16] <Gibb> Slart, I have a problem with my usplash not displaying and a forum post said to check your symlinks
[23:16] <tanath> jk_, System > Admin > Login window
[23:16] <binaries-AP1> Viper111: your system is outdated, you could add repositories for the newer versions
[23:17] <Jowi> binaries-AP1, Viper111 won't help. no way to upgrade 5.04
[23:17] <Viper111> where i can get these repositories to put them
[23:17] <pange1> I struggling with Cisco VPN on my freshly installed Ubuntu - is it possible that Cisco VPN just doesn't work with the amd64 version or is it completely unrelated ?
[23:17] <binaries-AP1> pak: get wine
[23:17] <hp> hi, i want to install ubuntu 7.04, but everytime i run the cd, the screen just blacks out after a while, and no installation appears. How can i overcome this?
[23:17] <Slart> Gibb: oh.. my usplash haven't been working for a year or so.. I just turned it off... I don't really know what symlinks they might be talking about... but ask the room about how to fix usplash instead.. you might get better answers that way
[23:17] <CorruptTerrorist> after installing phpmyadmin via the synaptic package manager, the setup script asks me for a username and password... what is it? /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf >> http://pastebin.com/m2ea05ea9
[23:17] <Viper111> i can download the latest one??
[23:17] <jk_> is vista home premium as secure as linux?
[23:17] <pak> binaries - I've gotten virtual, it fits my needs cause i need to use windows programs not games or anything..
[23:17] <Gibb> Slart, ah, howd you turn it off? Id rather do that
[23:17] <Jowi> hp, try the alternate cd
[23:18] <Starnestommy> jk_: it's less secure by default
[23:18] <Jowi> !alternate | hp
[23:18] <Slart> jk_: don't ask that here.. you'll only get one sided answers
[23:18] <ubotu> hp: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.  Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal
[23:18] <nickrud> Viper111: you can go to releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 to download the latest release
[23:18] <hp> thank you
[23:18] <Viper111> ok thanks man
[23:18] <Slart> Gibb: hmm.. run this in a terminal "gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst". you should get a text editor window with the config file for grub
[23:18] <crush_groove> ok I had sound .. but not in foxfire .. so I changed the ff config to aoss  still had sound .. all of a sudden now I have no Media* Sound .. at all
[23:19] <gpled> 7.10 hangs on loading ide-floppy  modual during install, any ideas how to get pass this?
[23:19] <Jowi> Viper111, see here for a nice overview of which versions are supported: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(Linux_distribution)#Releases
[23:19] <crush_groove> is there a way to restore original soung.config?
[23:19] <Daisuke_Ido> gpled: do you have a floppy drive?
[23:19] <Gibb> Slart, ok, I can swing that. What do I edit out to get rid of the graphical usplash?
[23:19] <Slart> Gibb: hang on.. I have to check my own file here...
[23:19] <pange1> sorry I misformulated the question - does Cisco VPN work on linux 64b ? I didn't find any information about it with google.
[23:20] <jk_> why after installing java i stil cant watch videos?
[23:20] <gpled> Daisuke_Ido: has what looks like an iomaga drive
[23:20] <Gibb> Slart, thx
[23:20] <Starnestommy> jk_: you need flash, not java, for youtube
[23:20] <Daisuke_Ido> that's not a floppy then
[23:20] <Daisuke_Ido> gpled: is the floppy disabled in the bios?
[23:20] <gpled> nope
[23:20] <jk_> can i get flash from the terminal?
[23:21] <Starnestommy> jk_: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[23:21] <binaries-AP1> !terminal
[23:21] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[23:21] <Slart> Gibb: somewhere about halfway to the end there is a line that starts with ## additional options to use with the default boot option.. and a couple of lines further down you have # defoptions ....  right?
[23:22] <mrunagi> can someone tell me why on a live cd i can see my network with smbtree but n ot with the network menu?
[23:22] <Slart> Gibb: can you paste the line that starts with # defoptions
[23:22] <gpled> going to try disabling the floppy in bios
[23:22] <jk_> it says that installation was interupted and to manually run gpkh?
[23:22] <Gibb> Slart, yeah defoptions=quiet splash
[23:22] <Gibb> # defoptions=quiet splash
[23:22] <Slart> Gibb: ok.. just remove the "splash" part.. and voila.. no more splash
[23:23] <pak> Is it possible to make a shortcut for XP using VirtualBox, instead of always having to go through virtual box and selecting it from there?
[23:23] <Gibb> Slart, cool, so the line should be # defoptions=quiet? the # stays in front?
[23:23] <Slart> Gibb: correct
[23:23] <jk_> why want terminal alow me to install flash it says to manually run gpkg
[23:23] <Gibb> Slart, thank you. Do I have to edit the menu.lst~ file as well? someone in here said that yesterday for another issue
[23:24] <Slart> Gibb: so save the file.. and then run this in a terminal to make the changes take effect.. "sudo update-grub"
[23:24] <Slart> Gibb: nah.. ~files in linux are usually backups
[23:24] <CorruptTerrorist> after installing phpmyadmin via the synaptic package manager, the setup script asks me for a username and password... what is it? /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf >> http://pastebin.com/m2ea05ea9
[23:24] <Slart> Gibb: good thing to have if you mess something up..
[23:24] <Gibb> Slart, great, you rule. thanks again. anything else after sudo update-grub?
[23:24] <Slart> Gibb: nope.. you're done
[23:24] <Gibb> :D
[23:25] <jk_> can someone help me install flash using the terminal?
[23:25] <Starnestommy> CorruptTerrorist: check /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup
[23:25] <CorruptTerrorist> Starnestommy, it has admin:*
[23:25] <Slart> jk_: run this "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"
[23:26] <aghachi> i have dual screen setup, they both have a menu bar on top so is this file in use? Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[23:26] <mrunagi> how do you cd to a network folder?
[23:26] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: certain packs are used during the intallation. some of them are removed by by default after the installation, since they usually arnt nesecary. you can add which ever pacages you like with the add/remove option or by using the synaptic package manager
[23:26] <mrunagi> in the terminal
[23:26] <jk_> Slart it says manually run dpkg
[23:26] <mrunagi> binaries-AP1: what do you mean
[23:27] <mrunagi> i installed samba and i can smbtree to see the network but not in nautilus
[23:27] <Slart> jk_: then do as it says
[23:27] <mrunagi> how can i access the network with terminal
[23:27] <pak> Anyway to give windows more space from  your ubuntu drive?
[23:27] <mrunagi> pak reformat
[23:27] <pak> that sucks
[23:27] <mrunagi> yup
[23:27] <Slart> mrunagi: I suppose there are more than one way.. but you could mount a shared drive or ftp site in a folder.. and then cd to that folder
[23:27] <mrunagi> give it half and half
[23:27] <pak> no other way
[23:27] <CorruptTerrorist> Starnestommy, it just has                   admin:*
[23:27] <mrunagi> Slart: i cannot see the network in nautilus
[23:28] <ere4si> pak: gparted can resize unmounted partitions
[23:28] <Slart> mrunagi: check the places menu..
[23:28] <Starnestommy> CorruptTerrorist: use either * or a random password
[23:28] <pak> where do i get that from?
[23:28] <mrunagi> ere4si: pak i would not reccomend that with data on it
[23:28] <binaries-AP1> pak : use wine its tiny and runs beautifully if not perfectly, now i cant help you with that any more
[23:28] <mrunagi> i would not resize a partition with data on it
[23:28] <mrunagi> gparted likes to lose data and overlap partition tables
[23:28] <jk_> slart  i dont get what its saying can yopu explain?
[23:29] <mrunagi> Slart: its not in places
[23:29] <Slart> jk_: what is the error message?
[23:29] <Slart> mrunagi: in places click "Connect to Server"
[23:29] <aghachi> i have dual screen setup, they both have a menu bar on top so is this file in use? Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[23:29] <jk_> dpkg was interupted you must run dpkg manually
[23:29] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: find the network folder and attempt to connect to the folder with the cd (change directory) command
[23:29] <CorruptTerrorist> Starnestommy, just keeps asking
[23:30] <Slart> jk_: that's all?
[23:30] <Starnestommy> CorruptTerrorist: try sudo htpasswd -c /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup admin
[23:30] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: the easest way for me to do this is to copy a files location ( right click > copy ) and type cd and paste the location in the terminal
[23:30] <mrunagi> binaries-AP1: thats my question..........how do you cd to a network folder
[23:30] <jk_> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[23:30] <Atchoum_> join #Komuneco
[23:31] <mrunagi> if i was able to see the network on nautilus i could do that
[23:31] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: like this cd networkfolder
[23:31] <Slart> jk_: ah.. it tells you... right there.. between the ' ' chars.. run that in a terminal
[23:31] <aghachi> i have dual screen setup, they both have a menu bar on top so is this file in use? Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[23:31] <kraypius>  i just tried to install sendmail and i got: E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[23:31] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: you have to know its location
[23:32] <jk_> slart it syas this now
[23:32] <jk_> dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[23:32] <nickrud> kraypius: close any other open package manager
[23:32] <deltar> must be with sudo
[23:32] <pak> is there a shortcut to launch xp from ubuntu?
[23:32] <ere4si> kraypius, is there another synaptic open?
[23:32] <kraypius>  this is from cmd using apt-get
[23:32] <CorruptTerrorist> Starnestommy, thanks
[23:32] <mrunagi> i have \\1000/c
[23:32] <kraypius> E: Unable to lock the download directory
[23:32] <Slart> jk_: it needs super user priveleges.. ie you have to be root.. and how do you do that?
[23:33] <nickrud> kraypius: yes. It's telling you some other application (like synaptic) is open
[23:33] <jk_> i am the super user lol its my computer
[23:33] <twiztr> I just installed Ubuntu on my computer, but when it boots up, or shuts down, my monitor goes blank and says signal outside of range. I configured xserver to detect my monitor right, but it still does it.
[23:33] <Slart> jk_: but there is a special command to run things as root..
[23:33] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: do you know what // means?
[23:33] <jk_> how do i do that?
[23:33] <Slart> jk_: sudo..
[23:33] <kraypius>  oic it thx
[23:34] <twiztr> So when GRUB runs, I cannot select which OS I want, because it's blank.
[23:34] <mrunagi> no
[23:34] <Slart> jk_: so.. you put sudo in front of that other command.. sudo dpkg etc etc...
[23:34] <rinaldi_> hi i can't access my shared folders on my windows pc, what could i be doing wrong?
[23:34] <nickrud> twiztr: but at some point you get a usable display in X?
[23:34] <twiztr> nickrud: It works fine, as soon as it boots the GUI.
[23:35] <mrunagi> binaries-AP1: no
[23:35] <kLownish> i am trying to add a printer via LDP, whenever i enter the hostname, and the printer name, it freezes, anyone know why?
[23:35] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: is there a special reason why youd lie to connect using the terminal ?
[23:35] <mrunagi> lie?
[23:35] <nickrud> twiztr: try editing /etc/usplash.conf to a res your monitor knows
[23:35] <mrunagi> binaries-AP1: what do you mean
[23:35] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: since if you just want to share cumputer folders then its alot easyer to usy samba
[23:35] <jk_> ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
[23:35] <jk_> iljaz@iljaz-desktop:~$
[23:35] <jk_> what do i do now?
[23:35] <Slart> yes, mr mrunagi... *pointing flashlight in face*.. are you hiding something??? eh? ;)
[23:36] <Slart> jk_: try that command you tried to start with.. to install flash
[23:36] <mrunagi> binaries-AP1: i ahve samba installed
[23:36] <mrunagi> nautilus doesnt see the network
[23:36] <mrunagi> smbtree sees the network
[23:36] <mrunagi> i need to transfer a picture file over the network
[23:36] <twiztr> nickrud: Thanks, that should work. It's set to 12something by 1024, and my LCD wont work with anything bigger then 1024x800 or w/e.
[23:37] <mrunagi> i dont know what you mean by 'hiding something'
[23:37] <jk_> E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[23:37] <jk_> iljaz@iljaz-desktop:~$
[23:37] <jk_> thats what it syas now
[23:37] <capttwinky> hi - I am looking for some web ref. to trouble shoot problems with my virtual terminals - specifically, chvt isn't working - where do I start?
[23:37] <Slart> jk_: ah.. you've been here before.. it tells you what to do
[23:37] <crush_groove> where is sound.config located?
[23:37] <kLownish> nevermind, I fixed it.
[23:37] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: connecting a terminal to another computer basicly gives you a small server , with many more functions then simply one computer has
[23:38] <jk_> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[23:38] <jk_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[23:38] <jk_> iljaz@iljaz-desktop:~$
[23:38] <binaries-AP1>  mrunagi: its complicated , but its alot easyer to use a graphical user interface
[23:38] <jk_> lol this is really hard
[23:38] <Starnestommy> jk_: put sudo before the command
[23:38] <Slart> jk_: apt-get needs super user priveleges.. ie you have to be root.. how do you solve this?
[23:38] <rinaldi_> i can't access any of my samba shares from my windows pc as my ubuntu box isn't even shown in my windows network folder...
[23:38] <nickrud> jk_: keep in mind: any time you do administrative tasks, you need to run the command with sudo. Also, don't paste here
[23:38] <mrunagi> if i binaries-AP1if i COULD use nautilus i WOULD
[23:38] <david_> I am not able to send emails out from my server for some reason using phps mail() function. it returns a 1 so the sending seems good and according to the log the log files look like this http://pastebin.ca/923944
[23:38] <mrunagi> nautilus doesnt see the network..........
[23:39] <flowOver> can i somehow make vbox start a vm on startup?
[23:39] <david_> and port 25 is not being blocked
[23:39] <david_> an ideas?
[23:39] <binaries-AP1> or if its a real small file you can simple open a chat messenger and push the file through. or you can send it to an email address and then get your mail on the other computer. there are a thousand different ways to push a file thru
[23:39] <DrX> mrunagi:  nautilus has been said to be buggy and i have experienced issues with it as well
[23:39] <mrunagi> which is why i prefer kde
[23:39] <mrunagi> smbtree sees the network machines
[23:40] <mrunagi> i just want to transfer 1 image file to one of the network pcs...
[23:40] <Slart> nautilus is... well... it's what programmers tell their kids will come and eat them if they don't behave..
[23:40] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: oh like that i see
[23:40] <flowOver> rinaldi_: same workgroup?
[23:40] <xopey> How do i set the default umask for sftp transfers?
[23:40] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: well you should look to see that which ever windows system your running (gnome) or (kde) has such file sharing capabilitys. for myself samba does the trick
[23:41] <jk_> slart now it gave this blue screen saying configure sun-java
[23:41] <nickrud> david_: first, your relayhost is localhost. Are you set up to send mail over the net from sendmail? (shudder). Second, is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>a real address?
[23:41] <rinaldi_> flowOver: how can i find that out? my mediatomb and mythtv server is showing up... but not mshome
[23:41] <mrunagi> i have samba installed binaries-AP1
[23:41] <Slart> jk_: sounds like it's working as it should.. way to go
[23:41] <Flats> I have a dual boot XP/Ubuntu system.  I screwed up my boot loader so it's just windows now.  What's  the easiest way to get lilo back
[23:41] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi:
[23:41] <mrunagi> !grub | Flats

[23:41] <dsofwef> will the server cd install with 54mb ram?
[23:41] <jk_> slart thank you
[23:41] <Slart> jk_: you're welcome
[23:41] <Lokian> Hi all
[23:42] <mrunagi> binaries-AP1: ?
[23:42] <Lokian> How do I setup my Ubuntu machine as a sort of firewall?
[23:42] <dsofwef> will the server cd install with 54mb ram, or i guess more importantly, will it even BOOT?
[23:42] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: if the pacage is broken go to synaptic > select sepcial filters > broken packages > reload and apply
[23:42] <david_> to number 2 the answer is no, I changed it physically the actual address that I am trying to send it to is something else, as for the first one I believe I am
[23:42] <mrunagi> if it was broken i wouldnt see it in smbtree would i?
[23:42] <killown> does anyone here have screenlets running?
[23:42] <rinaldi_> flowOver: this is strange. the 3rd question i've asked on irc today and each time the problem is suddenly solved in front of me..
[23:42] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: srry apply then reload
[23:42] <Lokian> I want to run moblock between my real firewall and my network
[23:43] <david_> how do I check to make sure that I am ore not?
[23:43] <Slart> dsofwef: perhaps =).. I'm not really sure.. you're getting close to the minimum system requirements..
[23:43] <david_> I ran some tests that I saw on a faq site and they all seemed to match what was said
[23:43] <aghachi> why when i try to delete things it says i dotn have permiison
[23:43] <david_> so tahts why I believe I am
[23:43] <binaries-AP1> then perhaps the other computer to wich you are trying to send this file, has not yet been configured to accept the network sharing
[23:43] <gnychis> how do you get a file type to always associate with a specific application?
[23:43] <Sindacious> Does anyone in here know why Ubuntu won't allow me to go any lower on the partition size here http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n181/abyssl2/Screenshot.png ?
[23:43] <hischild> dsofwef, i'm almost certain it'll boot ... but wether it's fast ... that's the second thing ...
[23:43] <Slart> gnychis: right click on it... properties.. open with
[23:44] <gnychis> Slart: it doesn't hold, when i go to open int again it opens with the old app again
[23:44] <hischild> dsofwef, and you'll need a fairly decent swap partitition ....
[23:44] <ere4si> gnychis, right click it and select "open with"
[23:44] <aghachi> owner root?
[23:44] <Dritzen> I'm going to be installing Windows XP AFTER already having installed Ubuntu.  What steps will I have to take to get a linux bootloader back again?  I imagine I'll need to boot off of an ubuntu livecd
[23:44] <aghachi> how do i become the owner
[23:44] <Slart> gnychis: isn't there some kind of checkbox for "always open with this program" or similar
[23:44] <hischild> !grub | Dritzen
[23:44] <ubotu> Dritzen: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[23:44] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi:then perhaps the other computer to wich you are trying to send this file, has not yet been configured to accept the network sharing
[23:44] <zhanx> !vi
[23:44] <ubotu> Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code
[23:44] <Dritzen> Thanks hischild
[23:44] <gnychis> Slart: not that i see
[23:44] <hischild> Dritzen, you're welcome
[23:44] <aghachi> how do i become root owner
[23:44] <zhanx> there a page for basic vi commands?
[23:45] <mrunagi> binaries-AP1: if that was true i wouldnt be able to do it on this computer
[23:45] <nickrud> hahahahah pushing people away from vi!
[23:45] <zhanx> or vim
[23:45] <dsofwef> hischild, wifi bridge.
[23:45] <Jack_Sparrow> aghi  sudo  or gksudo for gui apps
[23:45] <Dritzen> zhanx:  http://www-acs.ucsd.edu/info/vi_tutorial.shtml
[23:45] <gnychis> Slart: got it... had to right click, go to properties, then go to "open with" then put a dot in the proper application
[23:45] <pipcoke> is there an easy way to view ipod touch files in ubuntu 7.04
[23:46] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: go to the other computer and try to see if you can see yourself
[23:46] <nickrud> zhanx: google   vim cheat sheet , there's a bunch. Some suitable for printing even
[23:46] <hischild> dsofwef, ???
[23:46] <Pepetide1> hi... Can anyone help me... I have a HP laptop with integrated webcam... it was working fine before but I created a new user on my computer and now the webcam does not work anymore... what do you think is happening here?
[23:46] <dsofwef> hischild, making a wifi bridge
[23:46] <Lokian> Is there a line for help that I can get in?
[23:46] <Slart> gnychis: ah.. yes.. it's been a while since I changed that
[23:46] <aghachi> there is a folder i would liek to delete but it says i dont have permission, so how to i become the owner which is root?
[23:46] <binaries-AP1> mrunagi: yourself > your computer
[23:46] <dsofwef> hischild, but i've having problems with it, as, linux seems to require an address to be bound to it. never had these issues with openbsd.
[23:46] <hischild> aghachi, sudo chown -R ./yourfolder
[23:46] <Slart> Pepetide1: check if there isn't a group your new user should be a member of.. something like webcamusers or such
[23:47] <nickrud> aghachi: sudo rmdir <dir> , but what dir is it? (Just want you to be safe ;)
[23:47] <aghachi> thanx
[23:47] <david_> nickrud: do you know of some tests that I can run to see if I am actually set up to send mails out using sendmail?
[23:47] <aghachi> its nvidia_new
[23:47] <dsofwef> unless someone can tell me something i'm missing.
[23:47] <hischild> nickrud, i prefer to not suggest sudo rmdir ... and not sudo rm at all ... if you accidentily do / *blank* you're ... screwed
[23:47] <nickrud> david_: not really, I don't know sendmail at all. I've set up postfix and exim4 in the past, but it's been a while.
[23:47] <pak> any one here have IE for ubuntu running?
[23:47] <aghachi> because in the nvidia settings i cant relpace the backup and i read when u unistall that it doesnt remove it all the way
[23:48] <dsofwef> pak, running in vmware workstation i do.
[23:48] <Slart> hischild, nickrud: I'm not sure if starting nautilus as root is better.. at least you can avoid the typos
[23:48] <nickrud> hischild: a good point for here. That's why I asked about the dir for one ;)
[23:48] <CorruptTerrorist> where is my php.ini file?
[23:48] <Scunizi> Lokian, just ask your question be specific.  If someone knows the answer they will put your name in the line so it beeps or highlights on your end.
[23:48] <hischild> nickrud, good point. I'm not saying that it's incorrect :-)
[23:48] <flowOver> hischild: better step away from the computer.  there's electricity in it.
[23:48] <nickrud> Slart: I always advocate against nautilus as root, it's too darn easy to move stuff around (been there, done that)
[23:48] <pak> no on ubuntu itself, not running IE with vm
[23:49] <Jeremy_> Can anyone help me out with an issue installing ubuntu on a mac?
[23:49] <hischild> Slart, true there. But even then you can accidentily move a file or 2 that should've stayed
[23:49] <david_> CorruptTerrorist: use "sudo find / -name php.ini"
[23:49] <binaries-AP1> jeremy_ oh yes i can
[23:49] <pak> comfiz config?
[23:49] <aghachi> nickrud: this is my problem do u know what i have to do before i test erasing that file because im not 100% on erasing that folder :)
[23:49] <pak> whats the command to install the effects and stuff
[23:49] <nickrud> Slart: especially with a touchy touchpad
[23:49] <pak> for cubes
[23:49] <Slart> nickrud: perhaps there should be a "delete as root" in the context menu in nautilus..
[23:49] <DrX> pak: yes
[23:49] <aghachi> nickrud: Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[23:49] <macogw> pak: sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager
[23:49] <Jeremy_> Ok, it's a slightly older one.  The architecture of the server is am64, but the packages are i386. would it be a Bad Idea to install them?
[23:52] <binaries-AP1> Jeremy_: osx wont let  you do that by default, it really depends on the cpu your running, try and get refit and install it, it works wonders i tell you
[23:52] <aghachi> scunizi it wont replace it when i save settings
[23:52] <cjones_> what softeare is there to make a vid  of your system ?
[23:52] <Jack_Sparrow> DrX, ies4linux is not a good idea...  just ask #Winehq how they feel about using that
[23:52] <Slart> flowOver: and typing rm -rf / home/username/myolduselessfiles is an easy mistake to do
[23:52] <DrX> pak:  in general, running Windows programs on Linux tends to be overblown by those advocating such practice (and the newer the versions of the Windows software the less well this tends to work)
[23:52] <Scunizi> aghachi, anytime you modify xorg.conf it automatically creates a backup.. not a big issue.
[23:52] <aghachi> scunizi it used to i duno wat happend i think when i put dual monitor the other monitor is using the file as well maybe?
[23:52] <Jeremy_> Ok, Ill give that a shot
[23:53] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: good afternoon.
[23:53] <ompaul> Lokian, have a look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoBlock
[23:53] <dsofwef> hwo do i know if my CD is the server edition? nothing diffferent in the / of cd
[23:53] <Scunizi> aghachi, there can only be one xorg running at a time.
[23:53] <DrX> Jack_Sparrow: running any windows program under Linux probably isn't a good idea
[23:53] <cjones_> drx have you tryed vbox ?
[23:53] <dsofwef> ha, naswered my own question, suppose i could md5 it.
[23:53] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud, Howdy...  just stopped in for a few.
[23:53] <mrunagi> my word there are NO kubntu cd labels
[23:53] <aghachi> scunizi o ok
[23:53] <Jack_Sparrow> DrX, That is something I can agree with
[23:53] <DrX> cjones_: no, i use Xen
[23:53] <Lokian> Ok thanks OMPAUL
[23:53] <pak> Xp isn't being able to find my networked printer even though i made sure it's on the right workgroup
[23:53] <Sindacious> Anyone know the link to the Ubuntu help on partitioning?
[23:53] <nickrud> DrX: +1000 ;)
[23:54] <Scunizi> !partition > Sindacious
[23:54] <cjones_> i have no problem running win games in linux
[23:54] <binaries-AP1> Sindacious: google gparted
[23:54] <icesword> cjones_, wow?
[23:54] <Lokian> I already have moblock installed ompaul, I just need to set up my unbuntu server so that all my network traffic passes thru it
[23:54] <binaries-AP1> Sindacious: google gparted/ wiki
[23:55] <ompaul> Lokian, read that page - I have not done it and am not interested in it - just passed on the link
[23:55] <aghachi> scunizi: now it says Unable to %C8create %C1new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'. after running the sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup command
[23:55] <Lokian> Uh, thanks?
[23:56] <edju> OK - dumb question of the month - if I dwload and compile an alsa snapshot, must I first remove all the alsa that ubuntu brought down on the install?
[23:56] <Scunizi> aghachi, what are you running that is trying to create a backup?
[23:56] <ompaul> Lokian, all the info is there - read it
[23:56] <aghachi> nvidia x server settings
[23:56] <aghachi> scunizi:
[23:56] <Pelo> edju, it is usualy a good idea to remove the oldone before instlling the newone
[23:57] <Pelo> edju, unless you are upgrading from a pre-compiled package
[23:57] <Scunizi> aghachi are you running nvidia-settings? from a command line?
[23:57] <Pelo> edju, and your question was not dumb , not in the least
[23:57] <ompaul> nickrud, stdin  there is now an mblock factoid
[23:57] <ompaul> Pelo, ^^
[23:57] <aghachi> no application system settings and then the program
[23:57] <pak> i can't find this compfiz thing?
[23:58] <Pelo> ompaul, mblock ?
[23:58] <cjones_> can you apt-get xfce desktop ?
[23:58] <ompaul> !compiz > pal (read the message from the bot)
[23:58] <nickrud> ompaul: you have it as mblock, not moblock
[23:58] <Pelo> cjones_, yes ,  sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[23:58] <ompaul> wooopppp
[23:58] <ompaul> woooppps
[23:58] <cjones_> pelo thanks
[23:58]  * Pelo is very disapointed in ompaul
[23:59] <Pelo> what is moblock anyway ?
[23:59]  * nickrud thinks Pelo better be nice to ompaul
[23:59] <pak> ompaul can you send me the bot again
[23:59] <Scunizi> aghachi, ok.. to reverse it type sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup  .. that will recreate it if it needs it there to save to.
[23:59] <ompaul> !compiz > pal (read the message from the bot)
[23:59] <ompaul> Pelo, some iptables peer to peer stuff
[23:59] <bindigoat> I left a message on my friends ubuntu computer thats cool you can leave a message if you dont know the password to boot the system thats all I think is cool with ubuntu
[23:59] <Pelo> ic
