[00:00] <deagle> ddgoose: you gotta replace the Exec=nautilus line in nautilus-bleh.desktop
[00:00] <TopBunny88> Which chat client is better  irssi or xchat?
[00:00] <Orchid`> Cmclean,  yes i do use pidgin but webcams ar enot support by it and kopete wont work
[00:00] <Uplink> where can i find system sounds?
[00:00] <deagle> Orchid: use mercury
[00:00] <jrib> TopBunny88: whichever one is better for YOU
[00:00] <Uplink> and dont say gnome-look.org
[00:00] <Cmclean> Orchid`: mmmhhh sec
[00:00] <Mo0oSaH> Orchid`: Gyachi also has video chat support
[00:00] <filosofixit> about my VPN issue : these files seems to be missing : /etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-ppp-starter.name and /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-ppp-starter.conf   -  is there any way I could obtain those manually?
[00:00] <Orchid`> mercury, is in the repositories deagle ? and whats gyachi?
[00:00] <greghere> boskoop, so there would be no advantage to have /boot, /, and /home? I should just have / and /home?
[00:00] <deagle> nope, no clue
[00:00] <borislav_simic> Mo0oSaH have any idea
[00:01] <deagle> Orchid': http://thebachman.info/public/Versions_Ubuntu/mercury-messenger-1.9.deb
[00:01] <Mo0oSaH> borislav_simic: what do you mean when you say it doesn't run at all?  Do you get some kind of error? What browser are you using?
[00:01] <VPS|KDE> TopBunny88: if you're new to linux, you'd probably want to go with Xchat over Irssi
[00:01] <boskoop> greghere: advantage is if you want to use an exotic file system on / which isn't supported by grub
[00:02] <Orchid`> deagle,  is it pretty reliable as well?
[00:02] <deagle> yep
[00:02] <greghere> boskoop, Ahh! all makeing sense now, thank you very much :-)
[00:02] <Cmclean> best software for ipod on 'bantu?
[00:02] <deagle> now keep in mind it's only for the MSN protocol
[00:02] <boskoop> greghere: but if you are using ext3 there is nearly no advantage using a sepparate /boot paritition
[00:02] <boskoop> np!
[00:02] <Orchid`> deagle,  mercury is an msn messenger.. wha tim looking for is YIM
[00:02] <deagle> oh
[00:03] <deagle> well then...
[00:03] <deagle> :P
[00:03] <xxgodsmackxx321> http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=631161
[00:03] <Orchid`> haha
[00:03] <deagle> gyachi has a 'Y' in it, i guess you could try that one out
[00:03] <Mo0oSaH> borislav_simic: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
[00:03] <blizzo2> What the heck do I need to do to get Intrepid to play a dvd??
[00:03] <shoot^> hey guys. I'm having an issue on ubuntu server (CLI only). When my wireless router is reset, the server does not automatically reconnect. What have I missed?
[00:03] <blizzo2> So frustrated right now!
[00:03] <jrib> !dvd > blizzo2
[00:04] <deagle> a DVD player? :D
[00:04] <Mez> !dvd | blizzo2
[00:04] <greghere> boskoop, yes I always use EXT3, as everything I learned about file systems seems to indicate that this is the best all round for average joe's like me :-)
[00:04]  * deagle hits a rimshot
[00:04] <zsquareplusc> i've now tried the "create USB start disk" feature two times and it failed to bood for the second time... (1st: crc error 2nd: vesamenu not found)... ideas?
[00:04] <Cmclean> Amarok or Banshee or gtkpod?
[00:04] <deagle> bbl
[00:05] <blizzo2> I Mez I already installed the restricted extras and I just get some garbled gunk in VLC or the totem movie player
[00:05] <blizzo2> Then each application poops itself all over my desktop.
[00:05] <jrib> blizzo2: that's not what you need to install.
[00:07] <bushwacker> Hello when I boot into Ubuntu LiveCD, it loads with the progress bar, then all I get is a black screen with a white blinking _ symbol
[00:07] <bushwacker> is there a way to fix this, or does it mean it hasn't finished loading
[00:07] <greghere> Has anyone installed Helix, ubuntu 8.04 clone?
[00:08] <nootrope> i just upgraded to 8.1 and when i go to System | About Ubuntu, this is what the version line says, "Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu - the - released in ." What da...?
[00:08] <magnetron> greghere→ maybe you should ask in the Helix channel/mailing list/forum
[00:08] <jrib> nootrope: check for a bug at bugs.ubuntu.com and file one if it doesn't exist
[00:09] <bushwacker> does anyone know?
[00:09] <nootrope> jrib, thanks, i will
[00:09] <jrib> bushwacker: ask an actual question
[00:09] <bushwacker> why do I only see a blinking _ ?
[00:09] <greghere> magnetron, Yes i will, just thought I would ask her first :-)
[00:09] <blizzo2> Thanks MEz
[00:09] <magnetron> bushwacker→ you may need the alternate CD for install
[00:09] <magnetron> !alternate | bushwacker
[00:09] <blizzo2> and thanks jrib
[00:10] <bushwacker> why? its a brand new computer
[00:10] <TopBunny88>   How dopes one install aim on a 3 64bit installatiuon using the deb package provided on aim.com
[00:10] <bushwacker> and i've loaded the CD before
[00:10] <jrib> TopBunny88: why not use pidgin?
[00:10] <magnetron> bushwacker→ because you see a blinking _
[00:10] <bushwacker> ok ill try it
[00:10] <bushwacker> thanks
[00:10] <Mez> magnetron: sudo apt-get install --reinstall lsb-release
[00:10] <magnetron> Mez→ what?
[00:10] <jrib> bushwacker: you may want to run "check the cd for defects" from the CD's boot menu
[00:10] <mOrO^> bushwacker: save the files and folders you want and do a clean install with an iso... you will have less headaches.
[00:10] <boskoop> :)
[00:10] <boskoop> gone
[00:11] <Mez> magnetron: to fix the about thing - looks like your lsb-release is messe dup
[00:11] <magnetron> Mez→ wrong guy
[00:11] <panfist> i have a drive with a partition on it that i can't mount. in /dev all I see is /dev/sda and no /dev/sda1, but if i do "fdisk /dev/sda" and print the partition table, it shows /dev/sda1 -- ntfs
[00:11] <Mez> magnetron: oops
[00:11] <koops> hey does anyone know about a desktop called "lite"?
[00:12] <Cmclean> I always have troublw with the tool that puts 'bantu on a USB stick any help?
[00:12] <gavagai> koops, icewm lite?  litestep for windows?
[00:12] <magnetron> Cmclean→ don't use the "persistent file system" setting
[00:12] <zsquareplusc> Cmclean: i have problems too, and no answer so far :(
[00:13] <Cmclean> thanks
[00:13] <logd> hi how to copy  a kernel ? mean from an existing installation to a fresh one on the same machine (just different disk)
[00:13] <gavagai> Is anyone here using TVAnts on Ubuntu?
[00:13] <zsquareplusc> magnetron: is that one broken? the peristent file feature?
[00:13] <koops> gavagai, i dont really know, ive read that shift linux has it... but i dont know which one it is, i want to check it out but cant find info on google
[00:13] <georgy_28> Cmclean, : http://knol.google.com/k/inderjeet-singh/installing-a-ubuntu-hardy-heron-java/1j9pj7d01g86i/2# this will work
[00:13] <KDB9000> Does anyone know if it is possible to set my laptop so that when I close the screen it gos into lock mode?
[00:13] <magnetron> logd→ are you using debian or ubuntu?
[00:14] <Markov> does anyone know how I can rip a CD in MP3 format using sound juicer? the mp3 profile is in the list of profiles and it is set to active. But, it does not show up in the dropdown of option output formats....
[00:14] <logd> actually both
[00:14] <mker> I'm installing Debian and I chose "Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM". This is what it looks like when I get to finish partitioning http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/8559/screenshotdebian50runniyn1.png . Now I'm a little confused, is *everything* encrypted there? Swap too? (Sorry for asking about Debian here but no answer on #debian. Someone here should know and Ubuntu *is* based on Debian :) )
[00:14] <jrib> mker: ask the debian channel
[00:14] <Cmclean> markov: You need the restricted software pack
[00:14] <magnetron> mker→ don't ask here, wrong channel
[00:15] <AlexPalmer> jrib:  i am having trouble figuring out the split command in the man pages
[00:15] <Markov> Cmclean, which one? I've installed several
[00:15] <AngryElf> how do I disable CD/DVD autoplay?
[00:15] <logd> a kernel issue regards every distro... yours a brand new kindof racism...
[00:15] <Cmclean> Markov: it's a command and it a HUGE file of every restricted formay
[00:16] <Cmclean> Markov: not like those those only do some video some audio etc.
[00:16] <hackeron> hey, I have a smartd question - every hour, for the last 6 months or so, smartd writes to syslog /dev/sdc, 4 currently unreadable (pending) sectors -- The hard drive seems ok, I bought a replacement but it's on a raid5, I will wait for it to fail first, but how do I tell smartd I've seen the messages and stop them being repeated?
[00:16] <mker> Well I'm also interested in how Ubuntu handles it, I'm assuming Ubuntu does it the same way as Debian? Is swap encrypted in the same situation for Ubuntu?
[00:16] <magnetron> logd→ the people here are volunteers, we cannot provide support for every distro on earth
[00:16] <jrib> AlexPalmer: split -b SIZE FILE
[00:16] <Cmclean> Does anyone know what the command is for that?
[00:16] <bnfyf> what program can I use to make macros that can control ubuntu windows?
[00:16] <logd> also ok just tell the ubuntu way!
[00:16] <Cmclean> it is like sudo apt-get ?
[00:16] <jrib> bnfyf: wmctrl
[00:17] <jrib> bnfyf: you might be interested in devilspie as well
[00:17] <bnfyf> thanks
[00:17] <Cmclean> Markov: umm can't find the command
[00:17] <AlexPalmer> jrib:  that's what i have been trying, but i cannot figure out the whole numbering thing.  If i want a 100 mb split i am not sure what numbers to type in.  Same goes for a 4 GB split.  It's very confusing to me
[00:17] <Falstius> mker: you would want your swap to be encrypted.  A lot of your private data ends up in memory and so in swap.
[00:17] <panfist> can anyone explain why i might see /dev/sda, but not any partitions on it, even though fdisk tells me there is a partition on it
[00:18] <jrib> AlexPalmer: the man page describes the format at the bottom.  100 mb would be: 100MB
[00:18] <Markov> Cmclean, no problem. i'm hunting through synaptic
[00:18] <Cmclean> Markov: yah likely there
[00:18] <jrib> AlexPalmer: Sorry.  It's 100M.  See the difference in the man page
[00:19] <mker> Falstius: Yeah, but does it happen when you choose "Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM" (I'm assuming it's called exactly the same in Ubuntu, unfortunately I chose graphical installer when installing Ubuntu and I think it's only available in the alternate cd)
[00:19] <AlexPalmer> jrib:  it says "MB 1000*1000".  Ok.  and would 4 GB be 4 G?
[00:19] <jrib> AlexPalmer: yes
[00:19] <bnfyf> jrib: is there a program I can use to record macros more easily?
[00:19] <zsquareplusc> what would i run to format a memory stick to fat32 w/o partition table?
[00:19] <boskoop> Markov: sudo apt-get install lame gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse
[00:20] <jrib> bnfyf: what kind of thing are you thinking of doing?
[00:20] <vasilis> hi, has anybody else got problems with the mouse after installing vmware tools on a vmware player 2.5 running ubuntu 8.5 as guest?
[00:20] <jrib> zsquareplusc: gparted
[00:20] <Falstius> mker: I don't think it is exactly the same, I don't have a separate /boot partition.
[00:20] <bnfyf> jrib: I want to configure Remote Desktop from the ubuntu System menu automatically with a shellscript
[00:20] <boskoop> Markov: after that sound-juicer should be able to rip to mp3
[00:20] <zsquareplusc> jrib: isnt that creating a partition table anyway?
[00:20] <mker> Falstius: Interesting, I should get the alternate cd and try it out in VirtualBox.
[00:21] <jrib> zsquareplusc: right.  I must have misunderstood what you meant.  I assume you have a usb disk now w/o a partition table and want to format it now?
[00:21] <Ktj> how can i change server in xchat ( i want to go on quakenet) ??
[00:21] <bnfyf> jrib: I want to record mouse and keyboard events then play them back at will
[00:22] <AlexPalmer> jrib:  i typed in "sudo split -d 100M ~/Desktop/ubuntu* ~/test/testing" and i get an error that says "split:  extra operand"  but it appears to be working.  Thank you so much
[00:22] <bnfyf> Ktj: /server irc.quakenet.org
[00:22] <lox> Ktj, /server irc.qua......
[00:22] <zsquareplusc> jrib: i have one with, but it gives me problem with the usb startup disk thing. so i wanted to try it once w/o :-)
[00:22] <Ktj> thnx :)
[00:22] <musikgoat> zsquareplusc: can you format a disk with a filesystem without a partition table?  that would be news to me
[00:22] <Markov> thanks boskoop! I was missing gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse. I had installed practically every other gstreamer* package I could find.. heh
[00:22] <boskoop> ;)
[00:22] <Falstius> mker: you can use the livecd to install a virtual machine too (whichever floats your boat)
[00:22] <smokewon> how do you add a programs binary to a users (mine in this case) $PATH?
[00:22] <boskoop> np
[00:22] <jrib> bnfyf: oh.  Maybe xmacro or xnee.  I don't know anything about them though
[00:22] <zsquareplusc> musikgoat: its how floppies and most usb flash disks for windoze are formated
[00:23] <jrib> smokewon: put the binary in ~/bin/
[00:23] <jrib> smokewon: or a symlink to it at least
[00:23] <smokewon> jrib oh ok
[00:23] <smokewon> and that will only be available to me or anyone else?
[00:23] <Orchid`> where cna i find my kdewallet?
[00:23] <jrib> smokewon: only you
[00:23] <smokewon> sorry by ~/bin/ you mean the bin directory on the root directory correct?
[00:24] <jrib> smokewon: ~ means your HOME.  Usually, that is /home/your_username
[00:24] <lanoxx> hi, where does ubuntu call its environment variables for the sudo command? im always getting this error although i have set the java home in /etc/environment
[00:24] <lanoxx> ./stopserv: 75: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin/java: not found
[00:24] <nootrope> is there a screen grab utility in a vanilla ubuntu installation? if not, can you suggest a good one?
[00:24] <mker> Falstius: I didn't know that, I'll check it out. Thanks!
[00:24] <smokewon> theres no bin directory in my home directory though
[00:24] <jrib> lanoxx: read 'man sudo'
[00:24] <musikgoat> smokewon: make one
[00:24] <jrib> smokewon: create it
[00:24] <smokewon> oh ok
[00:25] <jrib> nootrope: istanbul
[00:25] <jrib> !screencast > nootrope
[00:25] <KDB9000> Is there a way to make my laptop go to screensaver/lock screen when I close the lid?
[00:25] <nootrope> thanks, jrib!
[00:26] <catonano> Hello; I upgraded to Intrepid and now I have _no sound_at all. Pulseaudio keeps reporting en error message. I filed a bug report but got completely unlistened. I don't need the audio so badly, I'd just love to understand what's going on. Can anyone here help me, please ?
[00:26] <jrib> KDB9000: system -> preferences -> power management (maybe)
[00:26] <zsquareplusc> KDB9000: did you check the energy options in the preferences?
[00:26] <lanoxx> jrib, this is very confusing, i dont understand how the $JAVA_HOME can be set to java-5 at all if i have uninstalled it!!
[00:26] <smokewon> im getting: ln -S /usr/local/netbeans-6.1/bin/netbeans netbean ln: `netbean' and `./netbean' are the same file
[00:26] <smokewon> and no i do not want to apt-get it
[00:27] <bashbin> hihi
[00:27] <jrib> lanoxx: you need to give more details as I'm not sure what your issue is exactly
[00:27] <boskoop> KDB9000: energy options -> closing lid, activate lock session is screensaver options
[00:27] <ferfactor> how i can converta .swf to .aci
[00:27] <Seveas> smokewon, you want ln -s, not ln -S
[00:27] <ferfactor> .avi?
[00:27] <AlexPalmer> jrib:  now i will just type "sudo cat (and then each file path)" and it will work?
[00:27] <Seveas> ferfactor, with mencoder perhap
[00:28] <Seveas> s
[00:28] <KDB9000> jrib, zaquareplusc, boskoop  it has "do nothing", blank screen" (not lock), "suspend", "hibernate", or "shutdown"
[00:28] <break_free> anyone know why google earth will only login if i run it as sudo?
[00:28] <Ktj> is there a tool which allows me to monitor network for all pc in my LAN aeria?(LAN+net monitoring)
[00:28] <ferfactor> Seveas, mencoder is in the repository??
[00:28] <Seveas> ferfactor, yes
[00:28] <smokewon> Seveas thats not working
[00:28] <jrib> AlexPalmer: no sudo.  You can do: cat file1 file2 ... fileN > file
[00:28] <boskoop> KDB9000 try "blank screen"
[00:28] <lanoxx> jrib, i had sun-java5 and 6 installed, im compiling my projects with java6 but the glassfish server is running with java5, i removed java5 hoping to get glassfish running with java6 so it wont complain about new versions anymore. now glassfish always complains that it can find java6
[00:28] <smokewon> i can only run "netbeans" in the ~/bin directory
[00:28] <ferfactor> Seveas i'll check now thanks bro
[00:28] <AlexPalmer> jrib: what does the fileN > file mean?
[00:28] <smokewon> i want to be able to run netbeans no matter waht dir im in
[00:28] <jrib> lanoxx: what does sudo have to do with this?
[00:29] <KDB9000> boskoop, I have but it doesn't lock or do screensaver. It just turns the display off.
[00:29] <boskoop> and activate lock session when in screensaver mode
[00:29] <KDB9000> boskoop, already have it enabled
[00:29] <jrib> AlexPalmer: I just mean the last file, so if you had 3 files (N = 3): cat file1 file2 file3 > file
[00:29] <lanoxx> jrib, in my normal user $JAVA_HOME is sourced from /etc/environment but the sudo command does seem to get this variable from somewhere else
[00:29] <jrib> lanoxx: right.
[00:29] <lanoxx> jrib, because im starting the glassfish server with root rights
[00:29] <AlexPalmer> jrib: is the "> file" where you are saving it?
[00:29] <jrib> AlexPalmer: exactly
[00:30] <AlexPalmer> jrib:  thank you
[00:30] <lanoxx> sudo ./startserv
[00:30] <boskoop> hmm
[00:30] <boskoop> strange
[00:30] <jrib> lanoxx: pastebin commands and errors
[00:30] <killerboy> hello, i have some problems concerning ftp server+lftp, does lftp need some specials to do recursive mirroring?
[00:30] <boskoop> must be somewhere in your gnome-config
[00:30] <KDB9000> boskoop, not really. blank screen does what it sounds like. nothing in there says screensaver or lock
[00:30] <lanoxx> sudo ./startserv      ..... ./startserv: 122: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin/java: not found
[00:31] <KDB9000> boskoop, I haven't checked gconf yet
[00:31] <jrib> lanoxx: so read startserv and see what is on line 122
[00:31] <lanoxx> on 122 is $JAVA_HOME which is set to java-1.5.0
[00:31] <lanoxx> it SHOULD however be set to java6
[00:31] <jrib> lanoxx: set where...?
[00:32] <musikgoat> lanoxx: you should grep your home directory for "$JAVA_HOME", if its not too big
[00:32] <lanoxx> i have no idea where, from where ever the sudo command gets the $JAVA_HOME env_variable
[00:32] <Ktj> is there a tool which allows me to monitor network for all pc in my LAN aeria?(LAN+net monitoring)??
[00:32] <jrib> lanoxx: I'm pretty sure that's not set anywhere.  sudo -i and run echo $JAVA_HOME
[00:32] <lox> Ktj, wireshark?
[00:33] <zsquareplusc> Ktj: thats a bit more complicate when you have a switch rather than a hub. but there are a few.
[00:33] <jrib> lanoxx: have you rebooted since removing java 1.5 by the way?
[00:33] <sniff> hii
[00:33] <Ktj> well i have switch adn then router wich maintain net
[00:33] <Bocian> Hi
[00:33] <lanoxx> running echo $JAVA_HOME as user gives me /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun,
[00:34] <lanoxx> jrib, yes, just rebootet
[00:34] <jrib> lanoxx: ok, and after sudo -i?
[00:34] <zsquareplusc> Ktj: wireshart and iptraf are nice but only show traffic that is at your cable. so not everything if there is a switch
[00:34] <lanoxx> and i set the $CLASSPATH and $JAVA_HOME variables in /etc/environment
[00:34] <j1> anyone know how to have a different background for each workstation
[00:34] <lanoxx> echo $JAVA_HOME
[00:34] <Ktj> would it help if i d put all pc to router?
[00:34] <jrib> j1: what window manager?
[00:34] <lanoxx> is not set
[00:34] <boskoop> KDB9000, did you configured "activate screensaver, when user is idle" and "lock screen when screensaver is active" in gnome-screensaver-preferences?
[00:35] <zsquareplusc> Ktj: the router probably also is just a switch from the LAN's view
[00:35] <jrib> lanoxx: right.  Before we proceed?  Did you do:
[00:35] <jrib> !multijava | lanoxx
[00:35] <jrib> s/?/./
[00:35] <Ktj> k
[00:35] <Ktj> damn
[00:35] <zsquareplusc> Ktj: what yre you needig it for?
[00:36] <Ktj> is there some sort of client that would report to my pc if i d instal client on others oc?
[00:36] <j1> anyone know how to have a different background for each workstation
[00:36] <jrib> j1: you didn't answer my question...
[00:36] <lanoxx> jrib, ok, what parameters do i give to this script
[00:36] <Ktj> well i need this coz my sis is uzin so much of net and i just wana know when se is using(80%) or when dad is usgin(20%)
[00:36] <jrib> lanoxx: update-java-alternatives -l  first
[00:37] <KDB9000> boskoop, Yes. I found it in gconf > gnome-power-manager > lock. I checked blank_screen and it locks when I close my lid. same with use_screensaver_settings if I have the lock enabled in screensavers.
[00:37] <Twichey> hello?
[00:37] <jrib> !hi | Twichey
[00:37] <zsquareplusc> Ktj: isnt your router having some web interface that shows traffic stats?
[00:37] <killerboy> .close
[00:37] <Twichey> well i need some help
[00:37] <KDB9000> boskoop, I also have my blank_screen set in the power management
[00:37] <jrib> Twichey: just ask away
[00:37] <Ktj> well it only show attached devices but not much more
[00:37] <zsquareplusc> !who | Ktj

[00:39] <musikgoat> Twichey: so you have a wireless usb card?

[00:40] <zsquareplusc> Ktj: yes i do, but it can be abused to spy on other people so it it should not be used to, well.. spy on other people
[00:41] <ed___> Hi guys. I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 and installed updates. Now ubuntu only boots to command console
[00:41] <lanoxx> jrib, nope doesnt work, do i have to restart?

[00:41] <Ktj> !zsquareplusc well i m not interested in contetnt of traffic only in bandwitch...
[00:41] <jrib> livecd: probably not.  You need to debug the script then
[00:42] <lanoxx> livecd, copy ~/.mozilla/firefox/profile/<something>.default i think
[00:42] <livecd> jrib, ... script?
[00:42] <jrib> lanoxx: probably not.  You need to debug the script then
[00:42] <jrib> livecd: ignore me, sorry
[00:42] <ed___> Hi guys. I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 and installed updates. Now ubuntu only boots to command console.. can someone help me get my gui working again???
[00:42] <lanoxx> the script only calls the variable $JAVA_HOME, thats all
[00:42] <livecd> lanoxx,  ok, that was easy :) will try, thank you
[00:42] <Tbone139> I have an asus P5k-E mobo, I haven't tried ubuntu but according to the forums it's affected by the foxconn ACPI bug
[00:42] <Uplink> can someone help me install taglib-1.4?
[00:43] <lanoxx> sudo ./startserv
[00:43] <lanoxx> ./startserv: 122: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin/java: not found
[00:43] <jrib> lanoxx: there are 121 lines before it.  Somewhere it is setting JAVA_HOME
[00:43] <Twichey> !musikgoat it is a belkin f5d7050
[00:43] <ed___> Hi guys. I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 and installed updates. Now ubuntu only boots to command console.. can someone help me get my gui working again???
[00:43] <musikgoat> Twichey: check lspci or lsusb for the wireless chipset in the belkin
[00:43] <musikgoat> Twichey: pastebin your results if you have trouble
[00:43] <Tyreus> Can anyone help me with the cubecaps under 8.10?
[00:43] <WelshDragon> Uplink, Does it have to be 1.4?
[00:43] <jrib> !repeat | ed___
[00:43] <jrib> Tyreus: try #compiz-fusion
[00:44] <Twichey> !musikgoat well ok let me boot it up im on windows just a sec
[00:44] <Uplink> WelshDragon: can you help me?
[00:44]  * Tbone139 is morbidly curious
[00:44] <Tbone139> !patience
[00:44] <musikgoat> Twichey: ok
[00:44] <funkyHat> ed___: the first thing I'd suggest trying is 'sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-old' then reboot
[00:44] <Ktj> !zsquareplusc maybe u also know why is sucha diff in batz in windows and in ubuntu?
[00:45] <WelshDragon> Uplink, Not with 1.4. But ubuntu has 1.5 in apt. The package is called libtag1c2a
[00:45] <jrib> Ktj: stop putting a ! in what you say please
[00:45] <truebosko> Hi, I'm trying to download Banshee 1.4 and it says (from Universe) when doing apt-get .. how do I specify to fetch from Universe repo?
[00:45] <boskoop> ubottu
[00:45] <Bjork> Alloha, How can I get my mouse media buttons (like, to skip song) working on xubuntu
[00:45] <Uplink> WelshDragon: thanx a lot
[00:45] <boskoop> hello ubottu
[00:45] <Tyreus> Huh? Its running as far as i know, can config the caps properly.
[00:45] <jrib> truebosko: pastebin what you you are doing
[00:45] <Ktj> jrib: only like this?
[00:45] <ed___> funkyHat: what does that do?
[00:45] <musikgoat> !msgthebot | boskoop
[00:45] <jrib> Ktj: exactly :)
[00:45] <ed___> funkyHat: does that restore xconf to default?
[00:45] <lanoxx> jrib,  it reads $JAVA_HOME from $AS_JAVA which seems to be an env_variable this is already set to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
[00:45] <Ktj> jrib: k thnx
[00:46] <Tyreus> Except i misunderstood sthing
[00:46] <jrib> Tyreus: ask the channel #compiz-fusion
[00:46] <truebosko> jrib: just sudo apt-get install banshee .. but I have banshee 1.2 already, BUT the banshee website shows 1.4 is available on Intrepid (which I am on)
[00:46] <gavagai> wooo0000t, tvants is working in ubuntu
[00:46] <jrib> lanoxx: is AS_JAVA set when you do sudo -i?
[00:46] <lanoxx> jrib, no
[00:46] <yao_ziyuan> i have to say
[00:46] <jrib> lanoxx: then it's also getting set earlier in the script
[00:46] <funkyHat> ed___: xorg.conf is the configuration file for X (the graphical interface server), it may be that there are some settings in there that are messing up on your computer, and that file is often not needed anymore with 8.10
[00:46] <yao_ziyuan> libnotify is so cool
[00:46] <Tyreus> Can i jump from here to there?
[00:46] <yao_ziyuan> install pidgin-libnotify,
[00:47] <Uplink> WelshDragon: do you use transKode?
[00:47] <jrib> !info banshee | truebosko
[00:47] <ed___> funkyHat: ok thanks i'll give it a try.
[00:47] <jrib> truebosko: link to where it says it should be 1.4?
[00:47] <yao_ziyuan> and you will get system-style notification window for your pidgin.
[00:47] <WelshDragon> Uplink, No.
[00:47] <Uplink> WelshDragon: oh ok :(
[00:47] <truebosko> jrib: http://banshee-project.org/download/
[00:47] <truebosko> Shows latest version 1.4, release November 10th
[00:47] <funkyHat> ed___: it moves the file to somewhere were X won't look for a config file, so you're effectively deleting the settings, but using mv means you can easily move the file back if that doesn't work
[00:48] <jrib> truebosko: I don't see where it says it is version 1.4 in ubuntu.  In fact, it's not as ubottu said
[00:48] <Tyreus> Well thx though.
[00:48] <truebosko> Well it says Latest version 1.4 but does not say specific releases
[00:48] <akincer> I'm having a very unpleasant experience with 8.10
[00:48] <jrib> truebosko: right.  It seems to be 1.2 in intrepid
[00:48] <truebosko> Ok
[00:48] <truebosko> thanks for clearing that up
[00:49] <jrib> truebosko: their ppa does have a 1.4 version for intrepid though
[00:49] <ed___> funkyHat: i tried that command and used startx. but im getting errors
[00:49] <Ktj> anybody know where to get info of c++ in linux like MSDN for windows?
[00:49] <ed___> funkyHat: the same as before i used that command

[00:50] <storrgie> I have two machines setup with static ip's.... but i cant seem to ping each machine! help please
[00:51] <musikgoat> ed___: instead of startx try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[00:51] <jrib> ed___: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:51] <Gnea> akincer: urban terror? using wine?
[00:51] <mercutio22> I lost all my system because windows deleted my partition table... I can still mount the ubuntu partition though
[00:51] <Ktj> jrib: thnx for help :)
[00:51] <akincer> Wine? No.
[00:51] <jrib> Ktj: no problem, I didn't do much :)
[00:51] <ed___> jrib: im using command console atm with irssi
[00:51] <akincer> Native i386 executable
[00:51] <Lancelot> how do i put virtualbox on my computer?
[00:51] <mercutio22> I wonder if can at least recover ubuntu and then install windows again
[00:51] <ed___> i cant just pastebing :/

[00:51] <Ktj> zsquareplusc: and u 2 thx for help
[00:51] <jrib> ed___: install pastebinit and use it
[00:52] <akincer> I feel it sucks, but that's my personal opinion
[00:52] <Gnea> !mbr | mercutio22
[00:52] <storrgie>  I have two machines setup with static ip's.... but i cant seem to ping each machine! help please
[00:52] <mercutio22> Gnea: the case is a bit different
[00:52] <Lancelot> can anyone help me put virtualbox on my computer?
[00:52] <Gnea> mercutio22: how so?
[00:52] <akincer> I'm going to reinstall 8.04 and have 8.10 in a second partition until the bugs are fixed
[00:52] <Ktj> jrib: well maybe u didnt do much but it certanly helped me alot :) (especaly how to behave in channel) :)
[00:52] <jrib> Lancelot: install the virtualbox-ose package
[00:52] <RivitingOne> I need help creating a lan between my ubuntu machine and my window xp machine. I have managed to be able to see the network on the xp machine but can't access anything.
[00:52] <mercutio22> Gnea: I can' t even boot into ubuntu anylonger. I have grub
[00:53] <Lancelot> okay, thanks. just the ose?
[00:53] <Gnea> akincer: where did you download urban terror from? i don't see it in the repo
[00:53] <lox> having absolutely no problems with 8.10 here.. lovin it! :)
[00:53] <Lancelot> there's a bunch of them
[00:53] <Gnea> mercutio22: why not?
[00:53] <akincer> Urban Terror is not an app in any repository I know
[00:53] <akincer> It's a separate download
[00:53] <Uplink> i want to convert 2 files from .wav to .ogg
[00:53] <jrib> Lancelot: yep, just that package.  Whatever else is needed will be installed automatically
[00:53] <mercutio22> Gnea: grub can' t find the system
[00:53] <Gnea> akincer: right, which means that we don't officially support it. so where did you d/l it from?
[00:53] <akincer> Works great in 7.10 and 8.04 but not 8.10
[00:53] <lanoxx-> great, vpn timeout
[00:53] <akincer> built in Quake 3 engine
[00:53] <mercutio22> Gnea: but i can mount it on the live cd
[00:53] <lanoxx-> i hate my university
[00:54] <akincer> close cousin of Open Arena in that way
[00:54] <lanoxx-> jrib, does that mean the glassfish startup scripts are buggy?
[00:54] <ed___> musikgoat: i tried it. it said gdm started on console but nothing appeared
[00:54] <Gnea> mercutio22: how do you know it can't find the system?
[00:54] <Lancelot> jrib: the source?
[00:54] <akincer> Gnea: I would assume the graphics drivers and/or X is supported. The bug manifests in Urban Terror
[00:54] <jrib> lanoxx-: I don't know anything about glassfish.  You may want to check bugs.ubuntu.com though
[00:54] <mercutio22> Gnea also, gparted shows only one single unallocated partition
[00:54] <jrib> Lancelot: just virtualbox-ose
[00:54] <mercutio22> Gnea: I lost the partition table
[00:54] <akincer> Well, probably not the drivers since it is the proprietary ATI drivers
[00:54] <akincer> which could be the issue
[00:55] <Gnea> akincer: okay, well, that's nice, but not helpful.
[00:55] <lanoxx-> http://pastebin.com/f48ed4b77
[00:55] <Lancelot> jrib: in the synaptic package manager?
[00:55] <musikgoat> ed___: install pastebinit and follow jrib's advice above
[00:55] <jrib> Lancelot: yep
[00:55] <lanoxx-> jrib, could you have a look in the pastebin?
[00:55] <Lancelot> jrib: thanks pal ;)
[00:55] <craigbass1976> Anyone in here able to give video editing guidance?
[00:55] <ed___> musikgoat: what files do i need to pastebin again?
[00:55] <avis> how good is ubuntu support for broadcom that requires b43cutter in intrepid ?  i had one such device, it installed, but that particular revision did not work.  i am getting another laptop that uses broadcom, probably different chip, wondering if it might have good luck or not
[00:55] <Gnea> mercutio22: try testdisk
[00:55] <RivitingOne> Can anyone walk me through setting up a network between an xp system and a ubuntu one? Both connect through a router to the internet.
[00:55] <coppro> I'm trying to get fglrx running and I'm encountering serious issues... namely Xorg stops wroking
[00:55] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to get video off a dvd (a video I shot on my handycam) and into an editor.  Having limited success...
[00:55] <Gnea> !info testdisk
[00:56] <jrib> lanoxx-: pastebin /usr/share/glassfishv2/config
[00:56] <Gnea> RivitingOne: what kind of network? like windows networking?
[00:56] <mercutio22> Gnea done that already... it found all my partitions, I told it to write the new partition table and when I reboot it is still all the same
[00:56] <musikgoat> ed___: /var/log/Xorg.0.log  and /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:56] <jrib> lanoxx-: sorry.  pastebin /usr/share/glassfishv2/config/asenv.conf
[00:56] <Gnea> mercutio22: did you put /boot on its own partition?
[00:56] <RivitingOne> Gnea: yeah, just file shareing basicly
[00:56] <mercutio22> Gnea: no
[00:57] <akincer> Gnea: I'll try to gather more info, but I'm telling you there's a bug. That in and of itself may not be helpful, but I came here hoping someone else had seen a similar problem
[00:57] <jacoblyles> Hi, having some trouble using LaTex on Ubuntu
[00:57] <lanoxx-> jrib, there we go, its hard coded
[00:57] <mercutio22> sudo testdisk
[00:57] <RivitingOne> Gnea: I've read 50 different ways online and I'm so confused right now lol
[00:57] <TwicheyUL> !musikgoat Ok this is my linux Partion
[00:57] <jacoblyles> I installed KILE but I can't view a tex document as a PDF
[00:57] <jacoblyles> is there something else I need to do?
[00:57] <jrib> lanoxx-: it might get set on install.  You can try purging whatever package owns that file and installing again
[00:57] <Uplink> i want to convert 2 files from .wav to .ogg, need help
[00:57] <Gnea> akincer: well, since it's not officially supported, and since you won't tell me where you d/l'd the game from, you're going to have an uphill battle.
[00:57] <musikgoat> TwicheyUL: don't put a ! at the beginning of a sentance
[00:58] <russ> hey how do I run the "what is the best" bot?
[00:58] <Gnea> mercutio22: and the root command in grub won't find your hd0 or hd1?
[00:58] <lanoxx-> jrib, ok, i will do that, then i come back to you, thanks for your help
[00:58] <wos1> can anyone tell me why my wireless network can be picked up by one ubuntu pc and not the other?
[00:58] <thiebaude> !best
[00:58] <TwicheyUL> Musikgoat ok what do i do to find the chipset?/
[00:58] <jrib> Uplink: you can use ffmpeg
[00:58] <lanoxx-> to remove it is it enough to call sudo aptitude remove --purge  glassfishv2
[00:58] <musikgoat> TwicheyUL: check in lsusb
[00:58] <Uplink> jrib: is that a lib? application?
[00:58] <lanoxx-> @jrib
[00:58] <Tr3y-> Hey does anyone know how to get mouse buttons 4 and 5 on a logitech g5 to work in x?
[00:58] <boskoop> mercutio22: try gpart: http://www.mohdshakir.net/2008/01/03/recover-lost-partition-table-using-ubuntu-live-cd-gpart
[00:58] <avis> i am going to put intrepid on a laptop but i'd like to dual boot so as to not wipe the default windows completely.  should i ever wish to remove ubuntu from the mbr after doing a dual boot config, is there a cd that will aid in the restoration to a vista capable mbr
[00:59] <wos1> can anyone tell me why my wireless network can be picked up by one ubuntu pc and not the other?
[00:59] <jrib> lanoxx-: no problem.  You can just do aptitude purge PACKAGE.  But run: dpkg -S /usr/share/glassfishv2/config/asenv.conf  first to make sure that's the package you want
[00:59] <ed___> jrib: how do i use pastebinit?
[00:59] <lanoxx-> avis, the vista dvd should be able to do that
[00:59] <jrib> Uplink: command line application
[00:59] <jrib> ed___: pastebinit FILE
[00:59] <ed___> jrib: does it return a link?
[00:59] <Uplink> jrib: what is CLA
[00:59] <jacoblyles> I tried texMaker and Kile. Neither will compile a Latex document. Is there something else I need to setup besides just installing them from the add/remove program menu?
[00:59] <avis> thanks lanoxx.  i hope it comes with one.  it has vista preinstalled.
[00:59] <jrib> Uplink: I don't know, I never said "CLA".
[00:59] <jrib> ed___: exactly
[01:00] <TwicheyUL> musikgoat Bus 002 Device 004: ID 050d:705e Belkin Components
[01:00] <Uplink> jrib: command line application
[01:00] <lanoxx-> jrib, dpkg: /usr/share/glassfishv2/config/asenv.conf not found.
[01:00] <jrib> Uplink: it's an application that runs on the command line (terminal)
[01:00] <mercutio22> boskoop: done that as well. I get an error: Fatal error: dev(/dev/sda): seek failure
[01:00] <musikgoat> TwicheyUL: nice, i was hoping it would be a little more descriptive :-)
[01:00] <RivitingOne> Gnea: I can see the network (I named it network) from the xp side but it says I don't have permission to access it and I can;t seem to see anything from the ubuntu side or I am looking in the wrong place.
[01:00] <jrib> lanoxx-: ok, try the package you said then
[01:00] <ed___> jrib: how do i paste this link to you?

[01:01] <jrib> lanoxx-: you might also check 'apt-cache depends glassfishv2' and look for good candidates
[01:01] <jrib> Uplink: yep
[01:01] <musikgoat> TwicheyUL: don't worry aboutthe rest
[01:01] <TwicheyUL> musikgoat ok

[01:03] <akincer> same binaries, same configs
[01:03] <Fephisto> I've been trying out Wubi, some questions:  if my computer works alright on Wubi, will it necessarily work on a normal Ubuntu install?  (i.e., does wubi simulate the driver capacities?)  Furthermore, if I switch to Ubuntu, do I have to worry about network configuration business in order to get on the internet via broadband, or is it automatic?

[01:05] <TwicheyUL> musikgoat it doesn have any of those i think its a v1
[01:05] <lanoxx-> jrib, indeed, i figure that since i have installed both java-5-sun AND java-5-sun there it could have been set to java-5-sun
[01:05] <Lancelot> jrib: I put the file "virtualbox-ose-source" on my computer, but I can't find virtualbox anywhere on my computer!
[01:05] <jrib> carlos__: install flashplugin-nonfree
[01:05] <ozzilee1> Can anyone tell me where Ubuntu keeps track of what folder an application's launcher should go in? By category I mean "Accessories", "Games", etc. It doesn't seem to be in the .desktop file...
[01:05] <carlos__> thanks jrib
[01:05] <lanoxx-> also during the installation i got a memory overflow and the pc crshed
[01:06] <jrib> lanoxx-: I said to install the virtualbox-ose package through synaptic
[01:06] <VPS|KDE> how do you zip a file with command line i need it to be .zip
[01:06] <lanoxx-> i ran dkpg --configure something and fixed it
[01:06] <ed___> jrib: did you get my pastebins?
[01:06] <jrib> Lancelot: I said to install the virtualbox-ose package through synaptic
[01:06] <TwicheyUL> musikgoat doesn have v anything or just the number 5000, 4000, 3000, or even 2000
[01:06] <jrib> ed___: yes, I am looking at them
[01:06] <ed___> jrib: k thx
[01:06] <mikem> could someone help me figure out why apache is ignoring my .htaccess file even though AllowOverride All is set for that directory?
[01:06] <mercutio22> oh man... for crying out loud
[01:06] <lanoxx-> jrib, what is that?
[01:06] <jrib> Uplink: so it's not working right?  Did they both do that?
[01:06] <jrib> lanoxx-: tab error
[01:06] <adub> i am not seeing the files located in my Desktop i accidently issued a commmand mv /home/adub/Desktop /var/www
[01:06] <Uplink> jrib: the wav file is fine.. but the .ogg doesnt complete...
[01:06] <TwicheyUL> musikgoat i still have the box, should i check it?
[01:06] <adub> Desktop is still in the same place but i can not see the files there
[01:06] <Lancelot> jrib: I did that... I searched virtualbox, and a whole bunch of different files popped up.
[01:06] <jrib> mikem: might want to try #apache for apache-specific issues
[01:06] <musikgoat> TwicheyUL: ok, well, this device id seems to match,  i would suggest following these instructions on installing ndiswrapper for your belkin  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=745655&highlight=050d%3A705e
[01:06] <adub> it is still in /home/adub/Desktop
[01:07] <storrgie> would anyone be willing to help me with networking issues?
[01:07] <musikgoat> TwicheyUL: the third post or so
[01:07] <VPS|KDE> how do you zip a file with command line i need it to be .zip
[01:07] <jrib> Lancelot: right.  But you said you installed virtualbox-ose-source.  That's not the package I told you to install.  You need virtualbox-ose (no -source)
[01:07] <jrib> VPS|KDE: did you see 'man zip'?  Poke me if you are stuck after looking there
[01:07] <sliverchair> jrib: thanx, did it with sudo. One more, I have a WLAN here, and ubuntu 8.10 asks for a passwd every startup, how do I make it remember the default keyring something
[01:07] <Lancelot> jrib: okay, should I uninstall that one then?
[01:07] <Uplink> jrib: hmmm the other wav converts FINE
[01:07] <VPS|KDE> ok
[01:07] <jrib> sliverchair: don't know
[01:07] <VPS|KDE> i will thanks
[01:07] <jrib> Lancelot: you don't need to, but you can
[01:07] <mikem> jrib: thanks. we've tried there, the current crew was unable to figure it out. guess i'll try again later. thanks
[01:08] <sliverchair> anyone uses WLAN here?
[01:08] <Lancelot> jrib: okay, thank you. I appreciate the help ;)
[01:08] <TwicheyUL> musikgoat ok ill try it
[01:08] <jrib> mikem: might try simpler .htaccess to make sure that's not the issue
[01:08] <Fephisto> Anyone?
[01:09] <jrib> ed___: you need to specify a BusID in your xorg.conf.  Do you know how to do that?
[01:09] <ed___> jrib: no idea
[01:09] <RivitingOne> I need help accessing an xp computer on my network. Anyone available to help?
[01:09] <ed___> jrib: my friend is helping me over another irc channel
[01:09] <boskoop> RivitingOne: use Samba
[01:09] <jrib> ed___: if he doesn't know how to do it, ask me and I will show you
[01:09] <ed___> jrib: so just gimme the basics of it i can relay the msg
[01:09] <RivitingOne> I have samba installed
[01:09] <mikem> jrib: the .htaccess is simple. what's more worrying, putting garbage into the .htaccess file doesn't throw any errors anywhere. it's completely ignored :)
[01:09] <declension> anyone got a clue why my sounds suck in linux?
[01:10] <ed___> jrib: which busID do i need to specify?
[01:10] <carlos__> JRIB, I wirte in terminal " sudo flashplugin-nonfree" but I read a message sudo: flashplugin-nonfree: command not found
[01:10] <carlos__> please help
[01:10] <rrittenhouse> declension: Onboard Intel soundcard?
[01:10] <jrib> ed___: pastebin the output of 'lspci'
[01:10] <jrib> carlos__: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree
[01:10] <a_> hi could anyone tell me the equivilent of task manager for killing programs?
[01:10] <boskoop> RivitingOne: ok, no try in nautilus: "smb://ip.of.your.xp.computer"
[01:10] <jrib> Lancelot: no problem
[01:10] <declension> rrittenhouse, no.. its geforce 8200 mobo.. 7.1 audio.. got weird humming
[01:11] <jrib> a_: system -> administration -> system monitor, but using 'xkill' is A LOT nicer.  You just run 'xkill' and then click on the program
[01:11] <thiebaude> carlos_:or the adobe website has the flash10 .deb
[01:11] <coppro> my fglrx is completely broken
[01:11] <rrittenhouse> declension: Not sure. My Intel HDA (i think it is) got really noisey when I went to Ibex.
[01:11] <jrib> thiebaude: flash 10 is what is in the repositories of intrepid
[01:11] <a_> this one doesnt show in system monitor
[01:11] <a_> prboom
[01:11] <a_> it wont close
[01:11] <jrib> a_: is it a GUI application?
[01:11] <thiebaude> ok i didn't know, im using 8.04
[01:11] <jrib> !who | a_
[01:11] <a_> its a port of doom
[01:12] <RivitingOne> boskoop: Is nautilus the terminal? Do I use the external ip or the internal one? Both computers go through a router to connect to the internet.
[01:12] <jrib> a_: so that's a "yes"?
[01:12] <a_> !its a windowed game
[01:12] <boskoop> RivitingOne: nautilus is the file manager
[01:12] <declension> rrittenhouse, i got AC97 and something else on bios to choose from.. but my ubuntu tends to crash if switch stuff from there
[01:12] <a_> its a windowed game !jrib
[01:12] <jrib> a_: right.  So did you try using 'xkill'?
[01:12] <boskoop> RivitingOne: are they on the same router?
[01:12] <a_> jrib dont know it
[01:13] <Chaotic_Descent> oh god. hidden files are back in my file upload/download/load/save menu! and for some reason I didn't write down the keyboard shortcut that makes them go away! help!
[01:13] <RivitingOne> boskoop yes
[01:13] <boskoop> i mean in the same subnet?
[01:13] <boskoop> ok
[01:13] <jrib> a_: run 'xkill' in a terminal and then click on the prboom window
[01:13] <boskoop> then use the intern ip
[01:13] <jrib> Chaotic_Descent: ctrl-h
[01:13] <declension> i get logon screen with nothing moving anywhere and keyb + mouse inactive.. so no
[01:13] <RivitingOne> boskoop no idea, how do I find that out?
[01:13] <jrib> Chaotic_Descent: or right click -> show hidden files
[01:13] <a_> jirib it said:
[01:13] <a_> a@a-desktop:~$ run xkill
[01:13] <a_> bash: run: command not found
[01:13] <a_> a@a-desktop:~$
[01:13] <ryanakca> *sigh*, looks like something went wrong and *tex was rm'd instead of *tex~. Anyway to recover them? The partition is ext3... so the aught to be a copy laying around somewhere?
[01:14] <boskoop> RivitingOne: do you know the intern ip of your xp-box?
[01:14] <jrib> a_: just 'xkill', no "run"
[01:14] <a_> ah
[01:14] <Chaotic_Descent> jrib: thanks. .... right-click? why did I never find that before? @_@;
[01:14] <jrib> !recover | ryanakca
[01:14] <a_> noope dint kill it
[01:14] <ryanakca> jrib: thanks
[01:14] <jrib> ryanakca: but you can probably recover from the *tex~ right?
[01:14] <declension> anyone else had the prob?.. cos ive had the same thing with 3 mobos now..
[01:14] <jrib> a_: ps -ef | grep prboom
[01:14] <Dejas> Wonderful. I just installed ubuntu on a dual boot with windows and it doesnt appear to have injected a bootloader into the MBR.  How do I get to my ubuntu install now?
[01:14] <RivitingOne> boskoop ipconfig reports ip as <IP_ADDRESS> as the IP Address
[01:14] <jrib> !grub > Dejas
[01:14] <ryanakca> jrib: I did for the ones that had a *tex~
[01:15] <jrib> ryanakca: ah.    No backups?
[01:15] <Chaotic_Descent> any idea why my file upload/download window is wider than my desktop, and I can't resize it?
[01:15] <ed___> jrib: bare with me im trying to get that lspci output for you
[01:15] <a_> jrib it says:
[01:15] <a_> a         8970     1  0 01:06 ?        00:00:01 prboom
[01:15] <boskoop> RivitingOne: ok, now try smb://<IP_ADDRESS> in nautilus
[01:15] <jrib> ed___: sure
[01:15] <boskoop> at least you should see there your printers
[01:15] <jrib> a_: you like the letter "a" huh?  Anyway, try: kill 8970
[01:16] <jigp> hello guys how to install windows xp pro in ubuntu 8.04 desktop?

[01:17] <a_> jrib: thats it
[01:17] <a_> thanks
[01:17] <jrib> Lancelot: probably somewhere in the file menu there is some "network" or "connect" option
[01:17] <l0newolf> Can anyone recommend a program with similar functionality to Irfanview for Ubuntu?
[01:17] <lanoxx-> jrib, glassfish works now, but in my project it complains that it cant find the java compiler and that the CLASSPATH is set wrong
[01:17] <RivitingOne> boskoop: ok I did that and it is a blank. Says windows shares on <IP_ADDRESS> but nothing is in there. I know I have folders shared too.
[01:17] <ryanakca> jrib: I did... but I reinstalled my server... so... well... gone :)
[01:17] <jrib> ryanakca: lesson learned I guess :(
[01:17] <Lancelot> okay, thank you, jrib

[01:18] <carlos__> Jrib please help, I write the commnd it install ok, but when I open youtube page said that I have JavaScript desactivated or an old version of flasjh
[01:18] <boskoop> RivitingOne: ok, then try smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/nameOfSharedFolder
[01:18] <Lancelot> jrib: what do you mean?
[01:18] <jrib> lanoxx-: but you aren't running that as root right?
[01:18] <RivitingOne> boskoop do I need to put the entire path or just the folder?
[01:19] <jrib> Lancelot: sorry, I keep messing up between you and lanoxx-
[01:19] <boskoop> just the name of your share
[01:19] <jrib> Lancelot: 4 letters is too much for me to type :)
[01:19] <Lancelot> jrib: haha, no problem ;)
[01:19] <jrib> carlos__: you need to restart your browser

[01:20] <boskoop> RivitingOne: e.g. if you shared C:\Windows\System32 und System32, you can access it by: smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/System32
[01:20] <declension> all 3 had different sound circ
[01:20] <carlos__> Jrib I restard it but I have this problem
[01:20] <boskoop> RivitingOne: maybe there will be an authentication popup
[01:21] <Scunizi__> My eyeballs are falling out from reading how to overcome my sata HD not showing up anywhere in the system.. now
[01:21] <jrib> carlos__: visit "about:plugins" in your browser and pastebin the whole page

[01:22] <idea4gud> I want to make 3.4 as default so coppied eclipse.exe script to bin and copied other files to usr/lib/eclipse

[01:22] <BitWraith> I see you can run ubuntu on a PS3. does it support the PS3's wifi adapter?

[01:22] <lanoxx_> jrib, i now get an error:com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
[01:22] <lanoxx_> Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK.
[01:22] <lanoxx_> It is currently set to "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>/jre"
[01:22] <edibrac> Cmclean: is the issue a licensing thing that Ubuntu can't install it by default?

[01:23] <boskoop> RivitingOne: ok great! try authenticating with a username/password from your windows-box
[01:23] <Scunizi__> sudobash: Antivirus 9 only runs in windows
[01:23] <edibrac> Cmclean: but OpenJDK's JRE (Iced Tea) doesn't seem to work on a lot of things (i.e. Yahoo Games)
[01:23] <sudobash> no duh
[01:23] <OddlotX4> Alright, I've got a Radeon 2600XT, and there's problems with the drivers and video outs.  I've been directed to use the X11 for it, which generally works, but will hang when playing videos often.  Any sugggestions?

[01:25] <Coolname007> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[01:25] <fryguy> mcquaid: linux command line things such as sed and awk can be put together to accomplish your task.  Just whip up a quick bash script, or take a look at the 'split' command, which might do what you need
[01:25] <Pici> !patience | Coolname007
[01:25] <jrib> Coolname007: you need to ask an actual question instead of spamming the channel
[01:25] <bazhang> Coolname007, be patient
[01:25] <fryguy> declension: the package name is "ubuntu-restricted-extras"
[01:25] <nootrope> what's the shell command that shows the current version on Ubuntu?

[01:26] <musikgoat> Coolname007: can you repeat your question in one line?

[01:28] <jrib> burner: erm, you must have a different one.  Can you pastebin yours?
[01:28] <Coolname007> ok..since i forgot ur name...my problem is in ubuntu, version 8.10...with synfig! can anyone help?
[01:28] <fryguy> Coolname007: ask a more specific question
[01:28] <boskoop> RivitingOne: after accessing a samba share, there should be a shortcut in the places-menu
[01:28] <burner> jrib: sure, one sec
[01:28] <jrib> Coolname007: state your actual problem.....
[01:29] <ashleyw> burner, I have no gui, this is the server version, big black screen, grey text....I've got the font color changed, just wondering how I can get a nicer font
[01:29] <Lancelot> ooookay, on xchat, how do I add a new network?
[01:29] <lavacano201014> joobaby: If you were using XChat, the CTCP VERSION I just sent you would have told me, and I would have said so. No big deal, there are other ways if I can remember them
[01:29] <Lancelot> jrib: the last one didn't help... :/
[01:29] <alarm-> hello, i would like some of your english knowledge please :) what would be the correct one (if we would talk about tags in a video file) "Search within multimedia file" or "Search inside a multimedia file" ?
[01:29] <lavacano201014> Lancelot: <CTRL> + <T>
[01:29] <sivel_> hello all
[01:29] <lavacano201014> Then type your /server command

[01:29] <Lancelot> ?
[01:29] <Lancelot> I pushed ctrl t
[01:29] <fryguy> ashleyw: you can look into setting up a framebuffer console.  You can also just remotely administer the machine from somewhere else using ssh, and then use whatever terminal emulator you want that has the color/font support that you want
[01:30] <Lancelot> didn't do anything...
[01:30] <lavacano201014> Hmm
[01:30] <jrib> Coolname007: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html no one can help you with your current questions

[01:31] <whynot> hi there
[01:31] <jrib> ed__: you messed up in your copy paste.  Look at line 1 :)  Do you see it?
[01:32] <a_> is 8.10 better at running programs or just extra drivers included?
[01:32] <jrib> a_: newer software
[01:32] <wwpiexec> wwpiexec

[01:32] <jrib> lanoxx_: no problem
[01:32] <lavacano201014> a_: The newer versions are in Intrepid's (8.10's) repositories
[01:32] <jrib> ed__: you need to delete line 1
[01:32] <jrib> ed__: he will see what happened I think
[01:32] <boskoop> RivitingOne: did you succeed making a samba share?
[01:32] <fryguy> a_: an argument can be made that it's worse than 8.04 in a lot of ways, including driver support.
[01:32] <ashleyw> why would you need a browser on a server thiebaude?
[01:33] <a_> lavacano: yeah but is it.... what is it?
[01:33] <a_> fryguy:....
[01:33] <lanoxx_> im gonna kill my prof. tomorrow, haha. when he told us coding a java enterprise software would only take 1.5 hours he didnt mention that setting up the environment would take 4 days.....
[01:33] <RivitingOne> yes, I have the folder now on my file browser
[01:33] <lavacano201014> a_: Just a newer version of Ubuntu.

[01:33] <lavacano201014> fryguy: The repository version of Pidgin currently is messed up.
[01:33] <TwicheyUL> well ok I need help again
[01:33] <Coolname007> jrib: did u catch all that?
[01:33] <fryguy> kattollikisd: gnome and KDE can exist side by side without issue
[01:34] <ashleyw> no idea thiebaude, I'm a noob at linux really :P
[01:34] <fryguy> lavacano201014: why are you telling me this?
[01:34] <lavacano201014> fryguy: So I had to compile to get it working the other day. Does that count as a "Intrepid is worse" argument?
[01:34] <boskoop> RivitingOne: now try in windows: \\ip.of.your.ubuntu.machine\share
[01:34] <Coolname007> ^^^^^^^^^^^
[01:34] <fryguy> lavacano201014: i dunno

[01:35] <burner> !ask | whynot
[01:35] <kattollikisd> fryguy, it say something about Python "Python bindings for the KDE 4 libraries" you sure that it won't give me problems
[01:35] <LjL> kattollikisd: it'll get a bit of cruft you probably don't need installed, but aside from that, no problems
[01:35] <declension> anyone have a working 7.1 onboard????
[01:35] <fryguy> kattollikisd: yes i'm sure
[01:35] <ed___> jrib: THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!

[01:35] <ed___> <3
[01:35] <jrib> ed___: no problem
[01:36] <lavacano201014> kattollikisd: What exactly does it say? (Give or take an error number)
[01:36] <fryguy> whynot: ubottu is a bot, i am not
[01:36] <whynot> Can I get some tips about how to install webcam driver on my ubuntu?
[01:36] <sniff> hii
[01:36] <lavacano201014> kattollikisd: If it says "Missing" that could be a problem, but you probably knew that
[01:36] <TwicheyUL> musikgoat coulld you help me with something else too?
[01:36] <burner> jrib: any idea on that macbook left click as single finger tap action?  http://burner.ath.cx:800/macbook-trackpad.fdi.txt

[01:37] <TwicheyUL> musikgoat well I can see the outside on my windows
[01:37] <khanm78> ello all
[01:37] <TwicheyUL> musicgoat cant*
[01:37] <ed___> jrib: pidgin keeps crashing now :S
[01:37] <jrib> ed___: nope, you probably have to be more specific
[01:38] <musikgoat> TwicheyUL: clean the windows, then you can see outside :-P
[01:38] <BitWraith> is it possible to install ubuntu using a USB flash drive instead of a CD or DVD for the boot media?
[01:38] <lavacano201014> ed__: Yeah, the repository version of Pidgin doesn't seem to be "right"
[01:38] <musikgoat> TwicheyUL: what do you mean?
[01:38] <lavacano201014> ed__: e.g. I can't get it to run either
[01:38] <thiebaude> lol
[01:38] <fryguy> !usb | BitWraith
[01:38]  * burner is rockin the repository pidgin in this irc chat even
[01:38] <Lofde_> whats the channel for the 9.04 release?
[01:38] <fryguy> Lofde_: #ubuntu+1
[01:38] <khanm78> if possible i would like to know if there are any good mmorpg for ubuntu, mybe along the lines of guildwars or wow?
[01:38] <whynot> Actually I've been digging so many documents and so many advices.  But they're all different.  I was so confused.
[01:38] <Lofde_> because i am guessing this channel now includes 8.10 right?
[01:38] <fryguy> khanm78: both of those games are playable in ubuntu
[01:39] <TwicheyUL> musikgoat well you know the orange border around all of ubuntus windows, Well, its gone and its hard to move them or close them
[01:39] <l0newolf> -_-  I downloaded Irfanview zip files from another site thinking I could install that via WINE but no - the zip is just a zip file with the installer exe inside
[01:39] <khanm78> withot wine?
[01:39] <burner> khanm78: you can play wow... otherwise, check out playdeb?
[01:39] <jrib> Lofde_: #ubuntu+1 is for jaunty
[01:39] <ardchoille> Lofde_: this channel includes all of the final _and_ supported releases
[01:39] <whynot> I have 3com webcam and I tried to install gpcav but I failed.
[01:39] <burner> khanm78: playable with wine... is that a bad thing?
[01:39] <khanm78> oo whats play deb?
[01:39] <geotsai> can anyone tell me how to switch the fn key's function around on a laptop?
[01:39] <burner> www.playdeb.net
[01:39] <jrib> l0newolf: isn't that just an image viewer?  There are plenty of native image viewers for linux
[01:39] <khanm78> not realy was more looking for native linux games
[01:39] <ed___> pidgin keeps freezing/crashing after a few seconds of use.. any ideas?
[01:39] <fryguy> geotsai: xmodmap might be able to do it.  I don't know if it works with all fn keys or not
[01:40] <khanm78> and how do you make your txt red like that??
[01:40] <geotsai> thanks fryguy.  ill look into it
[01:40] <burner> wine == native... it's not an emulator.. says so in the name even
[01:40] <fryguy> khanm78: your client will highlight text for you if your name is mentioned in the line of text
[01:40] <a_> ok thanks for todays help cyas
[01:40] <musikgoat> TwicheyUL: ahh, i cant help with that, but you can ask in #ubuntu-effects or ask here again
[01:40] <l0newolf> jrib: no it has a lot of options, image resize, cropping, paste from clipboard to save as file, batch conversion, quality option for trimming filesize etc.
[01:40] <khanm78> ahh
[01:40] <ardchoille> burner: if it were native, you wouldn't need wine :)
[01:40] <TwicheyUL> musikgoat thx anyway
[01:40] <fryguy> khanm78: it's only red for you :)
[01:40] <jigp> jrib : yes virtual machine. how to install virtual machine in ubuntu 8.04 desktop and how to install window xp pro in virtual machine of ubuntu 8.04? I review all the icons and the gnome menu I haven't found any virtual machine icons there...
[01:40] <musikgoat> TwicheyUL: no prob
[01:40] <Coolname007> can everyone just have a TIMEOUT for a sec?
[01:40] <jrib> l0newolf: tried gthumb?
[01:40] <ed___> jrib: after i type one message in pdigin it crashed
[01:41] <khanm78> kk to  highlight a respons / question directed to me
[01:41] <jrib> !virtualizers > jigp
[01:41] <RivitingOne> boskoop: Doesn't seem to be working. I put it into the windows explorer and it brought up firefox and timed out
[01:41] <whynot> After downloading the gpcav1-20071224, I typed the command ./gpcav_build, but error message came out.
[01:41] <ed___> jrib: is this something to do with the fix?
[01:41] <Coolname007> i can't think with all the comments FLYING back and forth!!!!!!!
[01:41] <fryguy> Coolname007: there are over 1300 people in this channel, that is unlikely
[01:41] <l0newolf> jrib: nope, I'm in here asking if there's a similar program for Ubuntu but you're the first to answer.  I'll take a look
[01:41] <jrib> ed___: haven't seen that.  Try running pidgin from a terminal
[01:41] <burner> ardchoille: that's like saying if aisleriot were native, you wouldn't need gtk... wine is just the underlying libraries :)
[01:41] <RivitingOne> boskoop: I can see it in my network places but It says I don't have permission to access
[01:41] <jrib> l0newolf: f-spot is nice too
[01:41] <Coolname007> STOP IT!!!!!!!!
[01:41] <whynot> Error: the module is not loaded ...blah blah blah something like that.
[01:41] <boskoop> RivitingOne: hmm, did you use \\ (doublebackslash)?
[01:41] <lavacano201014> khanm78: And you do the same sort of thing by typing the first few characters of the person's name, then hitting <TAB> (it's the shortcut). Usually a client will add a : or a , at the end
[01:41] <khanm78> burner whats playdeb plz
[01:41] <Flare183> Colonel_Panic: no
[01:41] <Flare183> oops
[01:42] <RivitingOne> yeah, I'll try again rq to be sure
[01:42] <Flare183> Coolname007: No
[01:42] <jrib> Coolname007: you might want to try the forums or mailing list
[01:42] <jrib> !support > Coolname007
[01:42] <burner> khanm78: use the google mi amigo.... www.playdeb.net
[01:42] <Izinucs> I just fresh installed ibex and used my old seperate partiton that contained /home and all my data.  I now find that the Applications/Accessories menu is GONE.  I've tried editing the menu to see if it was checked, but it's JUST NOT THERE.  How do I recover it?
[01:42] <lavacano201014> khanm78: For example, to highlight me, you can just type "lav<TAB>" usually.
[01:42] <khanm78> burner lol kk
[01:42] <jigp> jrib : ah yeah I installed already a WINE. is that all?but when I double click the setup.exe in win xp pro cd I cannot proceed to installation....
[01:42] <khanm78> lavacano201014,  ahh
[01:42] <jrib> jigp: wine is not a virtualizer.  Try virtualbox
[01:42] <boskoop> RivitingOne: ah ok, did you shared your folder for guest users too?
[01:42] <burner> jigp: www.virtualbox.org
[01:42] <RivitingOne> boskoopum...
[01:43] <musikgoat> Coolname007: the forums are great for slower communications
[01:43] <ed___> jrib: there is no output in the terminal after it crashes :S
[01:43] <whynot> Actually, ubuntu(including other linux versions) seems to give me too much freedom to handle.
[01:43] <khanm78> nice collection of games here
[01:43] <lavacano201014> jigp: Now that you have Wine going, just run your .exe file through it, and Ta-Der.
[01:43] <jrib> ed___: try with a new user to see if it is a config issue
[01:43] <ed___> jrib: ok
[01:43] <jigp> jrib : burner : ok ill download it
[01:43] <TwicheyUL> musikgoat ok i fixed it
[01:43] <jrib> jigp: it's in the repositories as virtualbox-ose
[01:43] <musikgoat> TwicheyUL: good
[01:43] <jigp> lavacano201014 : Ta-Der?
[01:43] <RivitingOne> boskoop I don't see guest as an option on the list
[01:44] <fryguy> jigp: install it from the ubuntu repositories.  apt-cache search virtualbox for the relevant packages
[01:44] <whynot> most of people don't know how to handlel their freedom, especially in using computer.
[01:44] <lavacano201014> jigp: It's the *cool* way of saying "ta-da"
[01:44] <Izinucs> AH. does anyone else on Ibex have an "Accessories" menu under Applications?  Looks like mine moved to "Utilities"
[01:44] <jrib> lavacano201014: jigp wants to install windows xp, not just install individual .exe
[01:44] <oakmac> I can't get java to work in firefox.  What do I need to install to get the GCJ plugin to work?
[01:44] <boskoop> RivitingOne: how did you created your share?
[01:44] <fryguy> oakmac: is java listed in about:plugins?
[01:44] <TwicheyUL> musikgoat Kinda hard to move them when the dont have a drag bar
[01:44] <lavacano201014> jrib: I used to dualboot. Stopped when I had multiple machines.
[01:44] <jrib> oakmac: gcjwebplugin
[01:44] <musikgoat> TwicheyUL: alt+mouse works as well :-)
[01:45] <jrib> lavacano201014: I meant jigp wanted to install win xp in a virtual machine
[01:45] <tripitakit> Izinucs: i have accesories...
[01:45] <oakmac> thanks jrib; that's installing now - hopefully should work
[01:45] <musikgoat> so do i Izinucs
[01:45] <BitWraith> I see that ubuntu CAN be installed over USB... does the computer that prepares the USB drive have to have the same architecture as the one that will be booting for the install?
[01:45] <RivitingOne> boskoop: one of the many sites said to type in shares-admin to bring up shared folders, you unlock it, go to users and select the ones you want with a check in the box next to the name
[01:45] <TwicheyUL> musikgoat ima on a touchpad right now so it would be kinda akward
[01:45] <jarco> how can i get access to my ecrypted map in 8.10 . Hw can is et properties for it
[01:45] <Izinucs> tripitakit: weird.. I just did a fresh install and used my old home.. Accessories is gone and everything that was there is now under "Utilities"
[01:45] <musikgoat> TwicheyUL: i can understand
[01:45] <RivitingOne> boskoo: but guest isn't on that list
[01:45] <lavacano201014> jrib: Does he have enough RAM to handle it OK? I have a gig in my fastest machine, and everything other than VirtualBox tends to gag a lil'
[01:45] <burner> oakmac: you might want to check out sun's java... which is part of "ubuntu-restricted-extras" which installs all kinds of goodies
[01:45] <Coolname007> this SUCKS!!!!!!!!
[01:46] <Izinucs> musikgoat: ^--^
[01:46] <tripitakit> BitWraith: u need the iso so dont think u need the same arch
[01:46] <jrib> burner: I forgot about you.  Did you sort out the appletouch issue?
[01:46] <musikgoat> Izinucs: i did an upgrade, so maybe thats whats different
[01:46] <jrib> lavacano201014: ask jigp :)
[01:46] <BitWraith> ok, thanks
[01:46] <whynot> Guess what?  Last night, I tried kernel building that was totally unnecessary for me.  It took more than 4 hours on my celeron 1Ghz machine.  I stopped it to restore my default kernel.
[01:46] <musikgoat> Izinucs: but i haven't heard of that
[01:46] <Coolname007> 1359 users in the same channel is KIND of lame!!!!!!!!
[01:46] <tripitakit> Izinucs: i did  a clean install ..
[01:46] <Izinucs> musikgoat: I did a fresh install but used my old /home.. tripitakit
[01:46] <jrib> Coolname007: please don't be disruptive
[01:46] <burner> jrib: i didn't...  and I don't feel bad... i'm able for the most part ;)  http://burner.ath.cx:800/trackpad-mac.fdi.txt  is my fdi though if you care to take a gander
[01:46] <arisv> hello people. any ideas on this? http://pastebin.com/m317507f0 (after hours googling..)
[01:46] <Coolname007> *flying comments back and forth*
[01:46] <lavacano201014> jigp: Incidentally, how much RAM do you have?
[01:46] <fryguy> whynot: you were almost certainly building more than just a kernel.  A kernel compile on a 1ghz machine should take less than an hour
[01:46] <BitWraith> I am trying to install to a PS3, but I don't have any blank CDs or DVDs handy, so I'll have to wrestle with a stick instead
[01:46] <bazhang> Coolname007, use the ubuntuforums then
[01:46] <jrib> burner: let me grab my macbook, it will make this easier
[01:47] <linguini> Is there an easy way to up the verbosity in /var/log/syslog ?
[01:47] <musikgoat> Coolname007: everyone else seems to cope just fine
[01:47] <jarco> how can i get access to my ecrypted map in 8.10 . Hw can is et properties for it
[01:47] <Coolname007> how am i supposed to get my question across then, jrib?
[01:47] <fryguy> Coolname007: you ask it. like everyone else
[01:47] <arisv> anybody?
[01:47] <burner> jrib: thanks much... I've got everything else dialed in on this
[01:47] <oakmac> "An error occurred while loading this applet."  linux problem?  It's TDAmeritrade's site so I trust that their applet is correct (I use it on windows all the time)
[01:47] <whynot> fryguy/ I think so.  I was afraid of what I was doing, because I didn't know what I was doing.
[01:47] <jrib> Coolname007: I told you that you needed to ask a better question that explains your exact issue in details on a single line.  You never did
[01:47] <l0newolf> jrib: can't find similar functionality of cropping, I can use other programs but Irfanview has a very simple method for it.
[01:47] <tripitakit> Izinucs: i see, have no idea, could be right as happend to you in your case, cant u move it to the usal place=
[01:47] <LastTango> ok, so I have my /home on a separate partition from the other stuff, so when I do a clean install on the / partition, how do I get it to use my preexisting /home partition?
[01:48] <fryguy> whynot: there are very few reasons to compile your own kernel as a normal user.  What were you trying to accomplish
[01:48] <burner> oakmac: try the Sun Java... gcj is cool and open... but not always compatible
[01:48] <jrib> burner: I see why I forgot about you now.  Your link is timing out on me
[01:48] <Coolname007> yes...jrib! i DID!!!!!!!
[01:48] <Coolname007> ^^^^^^^^^^^^
[01:48] <pd4> I have just installed Ubuntu and I have a GeForce 2Ti nvidia card, my computer is acknowledging it I can't find the right driver in Hardware Drivers. Can anyone help?
[01:48] <Coolname007> just take a look!
[01:48] <Izinucs> tripitakit: It won't let me rename it.. Also on my logout button the only options I have are "Log Out" and "Switch User".. Is this a new menu?
[01:48] <thiebaude> oakmac:you might need the java firefox plugin in synaptic
[01:48] <ethana2> Anyone here using OO.o 3.0 on Ubuntu 8.10, and if so, how?
[01:48] <tripitakit> LastTango: i suppose u just mount it under you home dir
[01:48] <oakmac> What are the packages I need to install the Sun Java plugin?
[01:48] <burner> jrib: http://pastebin.com/d4b23a758
[01:49] <whynot> fryguy/ The only reason I tried to kernel compling was...I thought it might load the webcam driver.
[01:49] <fryguy> Coolname007: you have no asked a question in the past 20 minutes
[01:49] <ethana2> I prefer to stick to apt, they have a PPA, but when I add it all the packages are held back
[01:49] <ethana2> whynot: uvcvideo?
[01:49] <whynot> 3com webcam lite
[01:49]  * burner remembers he's downloading a torrent and apache is probably dying trying to serve up a simple text file
[01:49] <jrib> burner: <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">0</merge>     try  changing 0 to 1
[01:49] <tripitakit> Izinucs: the logout menu has changed but there are other options in mine
[01:49] <ethana2> whynot: I'm just waiting for the working webcam stuff to show up in normal updates
[01:49] <musikgoat> oakmac: sun-java6-plugin
[01:49] <boskoop> RivitingOne: try sharing your folder by right-clicking in nautilus on the folder and selecting "sharing options"
[01:49] <ethana2> I kept 8.04 aroudn in the mean time
[01:50] <boskoop> RivitingOne: there you can select guest access
[01:50] <jrib> burner: I'll grab my macbook if that doesn't work
[01:50] <oakmac> that package is not available
[01:50] <thiebaude> thanks, musikgoat i didn't know the exact name
[01:50] <musikgoat> thiebaude: np
[01:50] <burner> jrib: i changed it to a 1, restarted hal via sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart, and still no single finger tap-click
[01:50] <Izinucs> tripitakit: looking in the Add to Panel screen there is a "Shut Down" appelate.  weird
[01:50] <whynot> Actually, my ubuntu recognize 3com webcam.  Checking lsusb showed me that my machine recognize 3com webcam.  but It didn't work well in Ekiga
[01:50] <burner> jrib: sure it works for you even?  another friend of mine has a macbook with the same issue
[01:50] <ethana2> whynot: the drivers are broken
[01:51] <ethana2> whynot: but a fix is on the way, it should update within a few days
[01:51] <jrib> burner: we'll find out in a sec
[01:51] <ethana2> how violent
[01:51] <whynot> ok, that sounds great
[01:51] <tripitakit> Izinucs: cant help on that i'm using the italian localization of intrpid
[01:51] <Bit_Breaker> ok help!!
[01:52] <Bit_Breaker> hi all
[01:52] <Pici> !ask | Bit_Breaker
[01:52] <tripitakit> Bit_Breaker: dont panic :P
[01:52] <Izinucs> tripitakit: I had to add the "User Switcher" appelate to get the other functions available in the menu..
[01:52] <sivel_> does anyone have any pointers about the built-in sd card reader not mounting and sd card?
[01:52] <droids> i've just started getting an error on startup saying that my $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored, and that i should make sure that i own it and set the permissions to 644.
[01:52] <musikgoat> oakmac: hmm you may have to install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:52] <droids> i checked the permissions and owner and everything is as it should be.
[01:52] <droids> any suggestions?
[01:52] <fryguy> droids: and did you follow those 2 recommendations?
[01:52] <tripitakit> Izinucs: so they are there, fine
[01:52] <jrib> droids: just rename the file
[01:52] <droids> fryguy: indeed i did.
[01:52] <fryguy> droids: what about your home directory? is it owned by you as well?
[01:52] <Izinucs> tripitakit: weird that it wasn't installed that way to begin with..
[01:53] <tripitakit> Izinucs: i agree
[01:53] <oakmac> thanks musikgoat; doing that now
[01:53] <fryguy> droids: what happens if you delete the file and restart X11?
[01:53] <thiebaude> oakmac: https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/ubuntu.html, i hope that works
[01:53] <Bit_Breaker> ok i have a dell 4600 that i want to install ubuntu on. if possible i want it to be the same image as my laptop Compaq F572
[01:53] <droids> fryguy: is that really a wise move?
[01:53] <arisv> hello people. any ideas on this? http://pastebin.com/m317507f0 (after hours googling..)
[01:53] <fryguy> droids: there's nothing important in the file, it can be deleted without issue
[01:53] <Bit_Breaker> the only issue is i have to do an install over mu local network
[01:53] <droids> fryguy: yeah, my home folder is owned by me as well, by the way.
[01:53] <burner> Bit_Breaker: just install it normally, then copy your home directory over
[01:53] <fryguy> droids: if you insist, move it out of the way and restart X
[01:53] <tripitakit> Bit u can look for a cloning tool...
[01:54] <RivitingOne> boskoop ok I did that and created the share. Still nothing when I input ip and folder and still gives permission issues when I click on the network folder. Think I should try removing the share stuff I put in with the shares-admin thing?
[01:54] <Raphael_DM> Hi
[01:54] <oakmac> thiebaude: will try that if ubuntu-restricted-extras doesn't work
[01:54] <Raphael_DM> anyone here have a macbook with Ubuntu and can help me?
[01:54] <adub> i am trying to setup twiki and when i get to the part to configure and i type in the path to run the configure script i just see the perl script text
[01:54] <Bit_Breaker> and the Dell doesnt have  a monitor, and a real bad win XP install
[01:54] <thiebaude> oakmac: ok

[01:55] <jrib> burner: yep, it works.  Just delete or comment the TapButton1 line altogether
[01:55] <fryguy> !ask | anyo
[01:55] <boskoop> RivitingOne: default way to create shares in hardy and later is by doing it in nautilus with right click
[01:55] <Flynsarmy> I have a dell inspiron 1520. On Hardy i had to add 'blacklist video' into modprobe blacklist to get screen rbightness settings working properly but in hardy if i add it, after i change screen brightness all menus stop working
[01:55] <pd4> Can anyone help with an nvidia geforce 2 ti problem?
[01:55] <Bit_Breaker> but some Mac guys dont like the foo
[01:55] <pac1> I've installed 8.10 and network manager refuses to work.  How does that get configured.
[01:55] <droids> fryguy: still says that it's being ignored.
[01:55] <tripitakit> anyo: lsmod | grep videodev
[01:56] <anyo> thanks trip
[01:56] <RivitingOne> boskoop: It is amazing all the diferent ways people are telling others how to share and network with how-to guides online
[01:56] <anyo> whats that do?

[01:56] <burner> jrib: wow, thanks... i tried every number in there 0 to 10, but didn't think to wipe it out altogether :)

[01:57] <anyo> tripitakit: that comman returne no output
[01:57] <`r0ot> i need to know how i get hardy Ubuntu 8.10 ?
[01:57] <burner> Raphael_DM: refit installs pretty easily and it's a gui that gives you a choice between and apple or a penguin... choose then penguin, then it loads grub... the wiki page is great though :)
[01:57] <pac1> Right now i have network manager uninstalled and I'm manually doing sudo dhclient eth0 at each login.  I'd like to get network manager configured for my lan.  Where should I start.
[01:58] <pac1> Anything good to read about it
[01:58] <pac1> ?
[01:58] <boskoop> RivitingOne: I use an unofficial ubuntu-wiki which seems to be mostly up do date when searching for detail information ;)
[01:58] <burner> `r0ot: hardy == 8.04...  intrepid == 8.10
[01:58] <Bit_Breaker> can anyone help me?
[01:58] <Raphael_DM> burner,  nice... its a *nix pkg or mac pkg?

[01:59] <tripitakit> pac1: try wicd, shoud work better than nm
[01:59] <burner> Bit_Breaker: maybe just hook it up via external monitor for the installation?  try the new USB installer.. it's sweet :)
[01:59] <burner> DarkTan: daily
[01:59] <ardchoille> Does gnome have anything for advanced gui scripting like kde has with kommander?
[01:59] <fryguy> aib: i believe xrandr will provide that information
[01:59] <Cmclean> USB insaller is crap
[02:00] <Bit_Breaker> burner: for ibex right
[02:00] <whynot> pac1/There is a network configuration menu by default in ubuntu.
[02:00] <Cmclean> doesn't work
[02:00] <tripitakit> anyo: do you know your cam model?
[02:00] <anyo> cam?

[02:00] <droids> jrib: you suggested renaming my .dmrc file - to what?
[02:00] <tripitakit> Cmclean: it worked perfectly for me
[02:00] <pac1> whynot.  yeah and its borked.
[02:00] <jrib> droids: anything
[02:00] <burner> Bit_Breaker: yeah... and Cmclean, the usb installer worked 3 times already for me
[02:00] <fryguy> jrib: he already removed his .dmrc file
[02:00] <burner> DarkTan: both
[02:00] <Bit_Breaker> burner: i need over a LAN btw, and i have only the dell and my Compaq Laptop
[02:00] <tripitakit> pac1: try with wicd
[02:00] <obf213> hmm. so how are we supposed to login to an ssh session if our internets is not connected?
[02:00] <whynot> pac1/network configuration --> wired --> click your eth0 --> edit
[02:01] <droids> fryguy: i replaced it now, but the problem persisted when i deleted it.
[02:01] <DarkTan> burner: maybe you can help me then, i can't get it to log in over the net
[02:01] <burner> Bit_Breaker: i'm stumped... it's tough without a display
[02:01] <burner> DarkTan: forward port 5900 to your PC
[02:01] <Cmclean> Umm If I set up a LAMP server on ubuntu 8.10 Desktop... will it interfere with normal everyday use of it???
[02:01] <fryguy> droids: right, i'm informing jrib of that so he doesn't waste time walking you through something that was already suggested. trying to save everyone a bit of time
[02:01] <burner> Cmclean: it will use a bit more ram, but that's about it
[02:01] <DarkTan> well, i have it set to DMZ cause my Embark router sucks
[02:01] <try2free> how do i find manual about how to customize paper size printer?
[02:01] <fryguy> Cmclean: no
[02:02] <linuxhelp_de> hello @ ALL
[02:02] <Cmclean> burner: well I only use like youtube facebook and x chat at most at the same time so???????
[02:02] <jrib> droids: rename it/delete it and reboot.  Thanks fryguy
[02:02] <aib> fryguy, i was able to VNC into a server but my DISPLAY variable appears to be set up incorrectly. any idea what i should set it to? i tried 0 and 5
[02:02] <burner> DarkTan: and if you do a port scan, is 5900 responding?  is linux the client or server?  why not just use vino + vinagre?
[02:02] <Cmclean> lol wargasm
[02:02] <fryguy> aib: what? why are you asking me?
[02:02] <DarkTan> burner:  linux is the server, windows the client
[02:02] <burner> Cmclean: it's easy to uninstall a lamp server if you're not diggin it
[02:02] <linuxhelp_de> need help with Grafic card problem of a thinkpad x30 intel 82830
[02:02] <jrib> droids: if that still doesn't work then you check permissions on /, /home, and ~
[02:02] <anyo> tripitakit: i ont have a cam.
[02:02] <DarkTan> how do i port scan? i forgot
[02:02] <boskoop> RivitingOne:  still here?
[02:02] <RivitingOne> boskoop Still not letting me in... This is what I did. Right clicked on the folder, went to properties, went to the share tab and selected share this folder and gave it a share name and also checked guest access. There is also a permissions tab here and one of the fields is labled groups and one of the names on the list is sambashare. It is set to create and delete on folder access and it is unselected in the file access field. Options there are NONE
[02:03] <fryguy> DarkTan: nmap is a tool that will do port scans
[02:03] <aib> you seem to know about X11
[02:03] <aib> it's a simple question: what should my DISPLAY be set to?
[02:03] <Bit_Breaker> burner;cmclean eh?
[02:03] <fryguy> aib: i don't really know anything
[02:03] <Cmclean> yes?
[02:03] <burner> DarkTan: and it works locally, and it's the DMZ, and you're using your external IP to connect?
[02:03] <tripitakit> any sorry i misred your quiestion
[02:03] <tripitakit> :)
[02:03] <Cmclean> Bit_Breaker: yes?
[02:03] <anyo> its okay
[02:03] <pac1> whynot, ok, i see my mac address adn mtu set to automatic.
[02:03] <anyo> im trying to make sure my vieo drivers are installed correctly.
[02:03] <pac1> connect automatically is set as is system setting.
[02:03] <burner> DarkTan: system-admin-network tools for a gui port scanner
[02:04] <anyo> lspci gave me 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2360 [MagicMedia 256ZX] as my vieo card
[02:04] <whynot> I just left my dhcp as auto.  I think it depends on your router whatever you have.
[02:04] <tripitakit> anyo: well: lspci | grep VGA
[02:04] <Bit_Breaker> burner: thanks anyway
[02:04] <Bit_Breaker> cmclean: sry nvm
[02:04] <DarkTan> Burner: from the server or the client?
[02:04] <Bit_Breaker> !pastebin
[02:04] <freeatlast> What is the terminal or shell command to turn off my computer from a terminal window ?
[02:04] <tripitakit> anyo: sorry i misunderstood you question before
[02:04] <fryguy> freeatlast: "shutdown"
[02:05] <DarkTan> Burner: yes, using my external ip
[02:05] <tripitakit> anyo: well: lspci | grep VGA
[02:05] <boskoop> RivitingOne: maybe this helps (section "accessing shared folders via windows"): https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/internet/C/networking-shares.html
[02:05] <pac1> whynot.  why would it depend on the router?  dhcp is dhcp?
[02:05] <anyo> tripitakit: returns with 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2360 [MagicMedia 256ZX]
[02:06] <m0u5e> is there a way to have my brightness display app and sound display display on both screens (dualscreen) when I change my volume levels?
[02:06] <whynot> pac1/I have a fonera and it has the automatic dhcp function.  So I just left dhcp option automatic
[02:06] <fryguy> pac1: there's more to dhcp than just dhcp.  options, for example.  Check out the specification for dhcp here http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2131.html
[02:06] <Cmclean> !lamp
[02:06] <tripitakit> anyo: i saw it now ... u'd google for it  plus the "ubuntu driver" tags
[02:06] <Cmclean> !lamp > Cmclean
[02:07] <pac1> fryguy, been a while since I've read one of those.
[02:07] <freeatlast> fryguy: Whats the difference between the <shutdown> command and the  <shiutdown -h n> ?
[02:07] <fryguy> freeatlast: no idea
[02:07] <pac1> Basically we're talking here about a dhcp client.
[02:07] <freeatlast> umm ok thanks
[02:07] <bastid_raZor> freeatlast; -h n gives a timeframe in which to shutdown
[02:07] <Bit_Breaker> !ask i need to install ubuntu on a Dell with no display; preferably over network. Please advise
[02:07] <boskoop> !lamp
[02:07] <Cmclean> How hard is doing  your own home webpage via LAMP??? Off a computer with:1 gig ram 2.0 pent 4 proccessor not bad GPU and a little slow internet speed?
[02:08] <boskoop> !lamb > boskoop
[02:08] <try2free> it's not possible to make custom paper size in ubuntu 8.04?

[02:08] <whynot> dhcp allocates the ip address each and every clients, isn't it?
[02:08] <anyo> hmm
[02:08] <burner> Cmclean: super super easy... two commands...   "sudo tasksel lamp-server"  "gksudo gedit /var/www/index.html"
[02:08] <freeatlast> bastid_raZor: So if I use that command -h n - It would shutdown sooner ?
[02:08] <fryguy> Bit_Breaker: you need some sort of physical interface with the machine to install it.  2 primary choices are keyboard/mouse/monitor, or a serial console.  As far as I know there are no unattended installation options available for ubuntu
[02:08] <RivitingOne> boskoop still reading
[02:09] <Cmclean> burner: so that will install and dl EVERYTHING?
[02:09] <ardchoille> freeatlast: sudo shutdown -h now  <-- shuts down now
[02:09] <pac1> whynot.  sure that's what the router does when I run dhclient on my linux box.
[02:09] <boskoop> RivitingOne: np, take your time, was just playing around ;)
[02:09] <nibsa1242b> where does pidgin store its user files? they don't seem to be in ~/.pidgin
[02:09] <bastid_raZor> freeatlast; no, you would set a timeframe.. -h 01:00 would be in 1 hour
[02:09] <burner> Cmclean: indeed
[02:09] <jrib> nibsa1242b: ~/.purple/
[02:09] <jigp> lavacano201014 : hello sorry. installing quim. 1gb ram
[02:09] <Cmclean> burner: thx
[02:09] <pac1> dhclient has no trouble connecting to the router and configuring the connection and routing.
[02:09] <freeatlast> ardchoille: THanks so much - that is the command I could not remember - Cool.
[02:09] <bastid_raZor> freeatlast; as ardchoille stated : shutdown now would immediately shutdown the box
[02:10] <Bit_Breaker> fryguy: thanks. i have a keyboard. no monitor
[02:10] <nibsa1242b> jrib: tnx
[02:10] <pac1> network manager, as installed in 8.10, won't even talk to the ethernet.
[02:10] <fryguy> whynot: it does other things than assign IPs.  I've got a couple of clients in my network that it doesn't assign an IP for.  It's usage is sort of a hack though.
[02:10] <freeatlast> bastid_raZor: yup - got it - thanks
[02:11] <bastid_raZor> freeatlast; for nearly all CLI commands there are man pages .. you could read up on some commands with 'man command' ex. man shutdown
[02:11] <droids> fryguy: i found a thread about it on the forums, and i'm trying to change the permissions on my home folder with sudo chmod -R 700, and it's saying that permission is denied to the .gvfs directory in my home.
[02:11] <ryanakca> How can one see what packages have beed added onto the default install?
[02:11] <fryguy> droids: .gvfs contains mounts to other locations, you've likely made a smb/nfs/ssh connection to a remote filesystem
[02:11] <fryguy> droids: 700 is also almost certainly not the permissions you want, as you'll likely run into problems with permissions that are that strict
[02:12] <ed1> hi can anyone help me with no sound problems on my audigy2? i disable digital sound in the mixer.. but im still getting no sound
[02:12] <droids> should i use 644 instead?
[02:12] <mneptok> droids: what are you trying to do?
[02:13] <asparatu> why does this happen, when i update my kernel, my wire card drives stop working and i have to recompile them and reinstall them?
[02:13] <droids> fix a .dmrc error
[02:13] <whynot> fryguy&pac1/ok I got it.  I'm helpful for pac1.  Frankly, I had no problem with the internet.  wire and wireless both.
[02:13] <mneptok> droids: what error?
[02:13] <Bit_Breaker> fryguy: how would i install with a keyboard
[02:13] <fryguy> asparatu: when you compile a driver, it only works for a specific kernel.  when you update that kernel, you know longer  have that specific kernel, so you need to update the driver as well
[02:13] <koops> has intrepid done the first update on xserver drivers already?
[02:13] <bastid_raZor> asparatu; any thing you've had to self compile will need to be recompiled when a new kernel is in use.
[02:13] <jrib> droids: I hope you did not run that chmod command
[02:13] <TwicheyUL> musikgoat Ok driver is up but now i cant connect to router
[02:13] <ed1>  hi can anyone help me with no sound problems on my audigy2? i disable digital sound in the mixer.. but im still getting no sound
[02:13] <fryguy> Bit_Breaker: i explained to you what you need to install
[02:13] <freeatlast> bastid_raZor: I just saw your other post of setting a time - so if you were doing a download or something - and wanted your computer to shutdown later on - this would be the command to use - So if it were in the evening or night time would you need to use military time or example 2:30 pm would be 14:30 - is this correct ? ?
[02:13] <droids> jrib: which?
[02:14] <jrib> droids: chmod -R 700
[02:14] <TwicheyUL> I put in the ssid, and mac address
[02:14] <whynot> fryguy&pac1/ Typo.  I'm helpful for pac1. -------->  I'm not helpful.
[02:14] <droids> like i said, it gave me an error.
[02:14] <mneptok> droids: what error?
[02:14] <mneptok> (dmrc)
[02:14] <jrib> droids: you should ask BEFORE you run commands you don't understand
[02:14] <TwicheyUL> musikgoat i put in the ssid and mac address
[02:14] <asparatu> ok thank you.. is there a way to make so i do not have to do that every time?
[02:14] <pac1> whynot.  whynot?
[02:14] <TwicheyUL> and it wont find the router
[02:14] <fryguy> asparatu: how often are you updating a kernel that this is a concern to you?
[02:14] <ed1>  hi can anyone help me with no sound problems on my audigy2? i disable digital sound in the mixer.. but im still getting no sound
[02:15] <whynot> pac1/ cuz I'm not specialist.
[02:15] <musikgoat> TwicheyUL: i'm heading afk, i would search for problems with network-manager and ndiswrapper drivers
[02:15] <asparatu> fryguy: When there is a new update i do..
[02:15] <droids> jrib: wouldn't it set the permissions to give user full permissions, but no permissions to anyone else?
[02:15] <Bit_Breaker> gain
[02:15] <bastid_raZor> freeatlast; read the manpage. it is only a 1 page.. it tells all about the options for shutdown .. apparently "-h is to halt the system after it has been brought down"
[02:15] <jrib> droids: that's not the whole story
[02:15] <mneptok> droids: it would set the executable bit on *every file*
[02:15] <Bit_Breaker> fryguy: i missed what u said
[02:16] <fryguy> Bit_Breaker: you need some sort of physical interface with the machine to install it.  2 primary choices are keyboard/mouse/monitor, or a serial console.  As far as I know there are no unattended installation options available for ubuntu
[02:16] <nibsa1242b> sound help --> under Hardy my sound worked fine; Ibex says it can't find my sound device
[02:16] <mneptok> droids: what is the dmrc error? what cause it?
[02:16] <RivitingOne> boskoop: I give up it should be working
[02:16] <mneptok> *causes
[02:16] <ed1>  hi can anyone help me with no sound problems on my audigy2? i disable digital sound in the mixer.. but im still getting no sound
[02:16] <ryanakca> Why doesn't ``df -a'' display LUKS volumes? Is there an equivalent for encrypted HDs?
[02:16] <droids> mneptok: .dmrc being ignored, so it can't load the default session and language.
[02:16] <mneptok> !repeat > ed1
[02:16] <mneptok> droids: what is your username?
[02:16] <Bit_Breaker> ok i need a monitor
[02:16] <droids> mneptok: nick, why?
[02:16] <Bit_Breaker>  :-(
[02:17] <whynot> pac1/Actually I didn't do anything but plugging the cable into my lan card.  and it worked well.  As to usb wireless lan, it's a little bit complicated but still easy.
[02:17] <boskoop> RivitingOne: ok, hope you'll get it to work, i got to go to sleep
[02:17] <RivitingOne> boskoopthank you very much for all your help

[02:18] <mto> Is there a way to download the Broadcom STA drivers to a flash drive so that I can install them on a machine that doesn't have internet access yet?
[02:18] <ed1>  hi can anyone help me with no sound problems on my audigy2? i disable digital sound in the mixer.. but im still getting no sound
[02:18] <whynot> pac1/ndiswrapper can use the windows 2000 driver and it makes it happen.  wireless internet is working well with my ubuntu.
[02:18] <droids> mneptok: what all will that do?
[02:18] <freeatlast> bastid_raZor: ok - looks good - would like to be able to do - would be very handy - will do some google looking as well - thanks for your input...
[02:18] <lyons> my wireless connection keeps dropping out if i load up a torrent.. and then it wont reconnect.. what can i do to fix it?
[02:18] <pac1> whynot have you upgraded to intrepid?
[02:18] <mneptok> droids: set the proper permissions across your hhome directory
[02:18] <m0u5e> ibex mult-iscreen support is such a great move forward!
[02:18] <bastid_raZor> freeatlast; good luck
[02:18] <mneptok> ed1: stop repeating. last warning.
[02:18] <pac1> whynot, that's when I started to encounter problems.
[02:18] <freeatlast> thanks
[02:18] <linguini> Is there any way to make init tell me what scripts it is executing when the system boots?
[02:19] <ed1> mneptok: how many times is acceptable?
[02:19] <whynot> pac1/ ubuntu 8.10 intrepid is my first linux experience.
[02:19] <mneptok> ed1: "far fewer than once every 30 seconds"
[02:19] <droids> mneptok: is there any way to exclude a certain directory, because it's not letting me change .gvfs
[02:19] <stdin> linguini: look in /etc/rcS.d and /etc/rc2.d
[02:19] <pac1> so a clean install and it just worked?
[02:19] <ed1> mneptok: ok ;P
[02:19] <mneptok> droids: then you didn't paste my command
[02:19] <pac1> I did several clean installs.  no luck.
[02:19] <russ> m0u5e: what is iscrean?
[02:20] <[biabia]> help! how do i set the default run level in ubuntu to be 3 instead of 5(gui)
[02:20] <whynot> yeah, it just worked.  not wireless but wire.  You should do something to use wireless internet.
[02:20] <droids> mneptok: i DID paste your command, and it told me that.
[02:20] <droids> permission denied to /home/nick/.gvfs
[02:20] <mneptok> droids: then you did not type the administrator password correctly
[02:20] <shaozuozhen>  droids:sudo?
[02:20] <fryguy> mneptok: gvfs contains external mounts. some external mounts squash root permissions
[02:20] <linguini> stdin: Do you mean, look in those directories and try and predict what init will do?
[02:21] <droids> shaozuozhen: i am using sudo
[02:21] <mneptok> fryguy: nothing should be mounted by default
[02:21] <fryguy> (nfs, notably, i believe gvfs defaults to this behavior for all external mount metadata)
[02:21] <Bit_Breaker> here all http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-unattended-ubuntu-network-install
[02:21] <m0u5e> russ: sorry i meant muti-screen* support
[02:21] <droids> it actually did take permissions away from all of my applications.
[02:21] <stdin> linguini: not exactly, look in those directories because that's what init runs
[02:21] <droids> so is there a way to go about fixing this, or am i damned to reinstall?
[02:22] <matthew> anyone know how I can mount my toaster ?
[02:22] <Cmclean> !sudo > Cmclean
[02:22] <ed1>  hi can anyone help me with no sound problems on my audigy2? i disable digital sound in the mixer.. but im still getting no sound
[02:22] <fryguy> mneptok: I don't think he just installed ubuntu from scratch and hasn't done anything with it.  It seems like he's been using the system for a while.  The "default" for mounts isn't really applicable in that case.
[02:22] <whynot> pac1&fryguy/when I checked youtube, I found out a linux guy explaining how to install wireless internet with ndiswrapper.  but it was a bit difficult because he is using terminal and command line.  but there is much easier way in ubuntu.  Windows wireless drivers.
[02:23] <bastid_raZor> !info gvfs
[02:24] <BeeBuu> any one teach me where can i get linux-ubuntu-modules in 8.10  please?
[02:24] <linguini> stdin: Thanks, but I'm looking for more info.  In particular, I see "NetworkManager" saying stuff in /var/log/syslog and I'm trying to figure out where that entity "lives".
[02:24] <LoveGuru> im trying to uncompress the zip file but the permission on that file is 444 And the user:owner is root:root.. how can i change the permission
[02:24] <LoveGuru> *owner:group
[02:24] <fryguy> LoveGuru: chown and chmod are used to change owners and permissions on a file
[02:24] <droids> jrib: it looks like the chmod command actually did apply to my home folder for 700.  is there anything that i can do, or am i doomed to reinstall?
[02:25] <RivitingOne> Could the inability to connect to a ubuntu machine on my lan be cause by the file system type not being recognized by windows xp?
[02:25] <LoveGuru> fryguy: i tried but i didn't worked
[02:25] <fryguy> droids: you certainly don't have to reinstall
[02:25] <LoveGuru> i try to did with sudo
[02:25] <linguini> stdin: It would be helpful to know, though, do the rc scripts get run like this:
[02:25] <stdin> linguini: /etc/rc2.d/S28NetworkManager starts network manager
[02:25] <fryguy> !work | LoveGuru
[02:25] <jrib> droids: mneptok's command will do the best you can do, just exclude ~/.gvfs
[02:25] <DarkTan> ok, still can't log in over the net with tightvnc
[02:25] <LoveGuru> :S
[02:25] <bastid_raZor> RivitingOne; how are you trying to connect? winscp, PuTTy?
[02:25] <BeeBuu> any one teach me where can i get linux-ubuntu-modules in 8.10  please?
[02:26] <ed1>  hi can anyone help me with no sound problems on my audigy2? i disable digital sound in the mixer.. but im still getting no sound
[02:26] <droids> jrib: what's the flag for exclusion on chmod and chown?
[02:26] <musikgoat> i like that factiod, kind of snippy :-)
[02:26] <stdin> linguini: the ones starting with S get called with "(script) start" and the ones starting with K get called with "(script) stop"
[02:26] <linguini> /etc/rcS.d/K* stop && /etc/rcS.d/S* start && /etc/rc2.d/K* stop && /etc/rc2.d/S* ?
[02:26] <linguini> I.e. do all the "S" scripts go before the "2" scripts in a typical boot?
[02:26] <fryguy> droids: you can use find to identify files in your home directory, and do exclusions with that. omit the -R flag from chmod and chown in this case.  see the manpage for find for exact syntax of how to ignore certain files and directories
[02:26] <jrib> droids: I don't know an easy way to do it in bash, you'd have to use find
[02:26] <bastid_raZor> BeeBuu; System>Administration>Synaptic then search for linux-ubuntu-modules
[02:27] <linguini> I.e. runlevel goes from "S" to "2" ?
[02:27] <LoveGuru> fryguy: it gave me error in return. "chmod: changing permissions of 'package.tar.gz': Read-online file system
[02:27] <linguini> stdin: /etc/rc2.d/*NetworkManager* does not exist on my system.
[02:27] <fryguy> LoveGuru: so copy the file to a filesystem that isn't read only, and do it again
[02:27] <jrib> fryguy: zsh wins in situations like these :)
[02:27] <RivitingOne> bastid_raZor: I'm just trying with samba shareing on the ubuntu system and the regular network utility stuff on windows. I can get to the windows system with the ubuntu box just fine but I keep getting permission issues when I try to go the other way.
[02:27] <zenarchist> Hi. I'm trying to install 8.04 ubuntu alternative cd, and I keep getting an error with libc6
[02:27] <fryguy> jrib: yes
[02:27] <LoveGuru> i tried " sudo chmod 766 package.tar.gz
[02:27] <BeeBuu> bastid_raZor: i have did,but nothing there~~~~~
[02:27] <atarinox> Any idea why when I installed XMMS2 from the repos it didnt show up in my Applications menu? Is there no GUI frontend by default?
[02:27] <stdin> linguini: basically that's how it work
[02:27] <Cmclean> can someone run me through setting up a LAMP server?
[02:27] <linguini> I do have /etc/rcS.d/S40networking
[02:27] <fryguy> !lamp | Cmclean
[02:28] <droids> jrib / fryguy: how would i use find to do this?
[02:28] <Falstius> RivitingOne: you probably need to run smbpasswd (from the termainl)
[02:28] <stdin> linguini: do you have the network-manager package installed?
[02:28] <LoveGuru> fryguy: thanks let me try
[02:28] <fryguy> droids: like i said, you'll have to read the manpage, i don't have the linux syntax for it memorized, and I think it's different in BSD (the only manpage for it i have access to right now)
[02:28] <linguini> I must, because it takes over during boot.  I'll double check using aptitude.
[02:28] <jamesish> Hey folks; I heard that /etc/network/interfaces is deprecated in Ibex. Is that true?
[02:29] <LoveGuru> fryguy: thankyou sir it working now :)
[02:29] <fryguy> droids: if you don't have anything important in your home directory, you can just delete your user and create a new one (and if you do have things that are important, just back them up and/or copy them to the new users directory)
[02:29] <zenarchist> debootstrap hangs on Installing core system, and from the logs it says that A non-dpkg owned copy of the libc6-i686 library was found... then dpkg had an error processing var/cache/apt/archies/libc6...
[02:29] <fryguy> droids: it's a reasonable option if you feel like you messed up permissions that badly
[02:29] <Cmclean> fryguy: was there some LAMP in 10 min thing?
[02:29] <fryguy> Cmclean: no idea.
[02:30] <Falstius> RivitingOne: at a command line, sudo smbpasswd -a <username.
[02:30] <RivitingOne> I did that and set a password up. But what is that for? I never get a prompt anywhere asking me for it. It just says xavier-desktop is not accessable. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact system admin... The network path was not found.
[02:30] <Cmclean> ok...
[02:30] <Cmclean> !termina
[02:30] <bastid_raZor> BeeBuu; search for  linux-ubuntu
[02:30] <Cmclean> !terminal
[02:30] <RivitingOne> Falstius: what user name do I put in? My regular login user name?
[02:30] <ed1> hi can anyone help me with no sound problems on my audigy2? i disable digital sound in the mixer.. but im still getting no sound
[02:30] <slope> anyone know if xserver-xgl will be avail in intrepid sometime, or is it deprecated?  Is there a better option for triple head w/ compiz?
[02:31] <BeeBuu> bastid_raZor: same
[02:31] <droids> fryguy: i think i did.  it's not even letting me open my home folder in the file browser.
[02:31] <Falstius> RivitingOne: that's what I usually do.  It needs to be a user who has permissions on the folder you are sharing.
[02:31] <stdin> linguini: I think in hardy network-manager was started by dbus
[02:31] <droids> fryguy: in fact, it's not letting me do anything.
[02:31] <droids> i'm having to use bash for everything.
[02:31] <bastid_raZor> BeeBuu; you're using which version of ubuntu? linux-ubuntu found plenty of hits when i searched it.
[02:32] <BeeBuu> bastid_raZor: 8.10
[02:32] <ed1> hey does anyone here have experience with sound problems on an audigy2 soundcard? none of the troubleshooters in google are sovling my problem
[02:32] <bastid_raZor> BeeBuu; what are you trying to do?
[02:32] <linguini> stdin: Thanks, I do see /etc/rc2.d/S12dbus ...
[02:32] <RivitingOne> Falstius: Ok, thats what I did. So what exactly does that do? How does that pertain to how I give permission to the xp machine?
[02:32] <FatherTyme> Upgraded to intrepid and now compiz is broken.
[02:32] <BeeBuu> bastid_raZor: i want to setup drbd8,and in 8.04 it need the linux-ubuntu-modules
[02:32] <musikgoat> linguini: does /etc/init.d/NetworkManager exist?
[02:33] <FatherTyme> Saw xserver-xgl is not installed, attempted to install and it has no version information in the repo.
[02:33] <linguini> No
[02:33] <bastid_raZor> BeeBuu; if you attempt to install a package it will install all the dependencies needed.
[02:33] <Falstius> And you enbaled sharing on a folder right?
[02:33] <linguini> musikgoat: No
[02:33] <FatherTyme> Is the package broken?
[02:33] <bastid_raZor> BeeBuu; through apt-get or syntaptic
[02:33] <musikgoat> hmm, linguini, do you have 8.04 or 8.10?
[02:33] <whynot> Falstius/when I change my samba password by the command smbpasswd -a user(same name as my linux account), the new password just disappeared and my ubuntu account password only worked after session.  Is it normal?  Can I get some help?
[02:33] <linguini> I'm on Ubuntu 8.04.1
[02:33] <BeeBuu> bastid_raZor: i throuth apt-get
[02:34] <droids> fryguy: it will not let me use my menues to add a user because it can't access my home folder.  how can i add a user through bash?
[02:34] <stdin> linguini: have a look at /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager and /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher, both should get called with "start" when dbus starts and "stop" when dbus stops
[02:34] <fryguy> droids: adduser
[02:34] <BeeBuu> bastid_raZor: but drbd need a module
[02:34] <mkartic> hey guys, can you suggest me some good guide/tut for desktop customization?
[02:34] <Falstius> RivitingOne: you enabled sharing on a folder, right?  For me it has always just asked for a password then and worked.
[02:34] <RivitingOne> yeah, both by right clicking it and also going to terminal and typeing shares-admin and setting it there. And I have tried doing it in one place and not in the other too see if it somehow comflicted
[02:34] <ed1> hi can anyone help me with no sound problems on my audigy2? i disable digital sound in the mixer.. but im still getting no sound
[02:34] <fryguy> droids: you'll want to make sure he's a member of the admin group as well, otherwise you won't be able to sudo (make sure this works before you delete your current user, otherwise you will lose root access to the machine, and I really don't want to walk you through how to fix that)
[02:35] <Dulak> I want to thank the devs for making version 93 of the nvidia driver available on intrepid, I got my 3d cube back!
[02:35] <droids> fryguy: right.  i'm not familiar with adding users to groups, could you help me with that?
[02:35] <fryguy> mkartic: what do you want to customize?
[02:35] <Falstius> RivitingOne: if you do it from the command line, you might need to restart the smb service (sudo /etc/init.d/smb restart)
[02:35] <linguini> stdin: Ah, I see those files.  Thanks; I'll look at them.
[02:35] <RivitingOne> IFalstius: It shows it shared and I have it set for guest user too but the xp machine can't connect at all. I've tried a few different folders in different places.
[02:35] <fryguy> droids: groupadd i think?
[02:35] <Dulak> droids: adduser username group
[02:35] <linguini> Is it normal to run NetworkManager on a server (not a workstation or laptop)?
[02:35] <Dulak> droids: sudo adduser username groupname
[02:35] <kansan> having trouble getting a USB printer: samsung 2510 to work on ubuntu hardy.  it DID work at one point, but now i cant print anything ... ideas?
[02:35] <juac> hello ppl
[02:36] <fryguy> droids: don't do what dulak says, you don't want to set your default group to admin, you want your default group to be your username
[02:36] <droids> oops.
[02:36] <droids> so just sudo adduser nick2 nick2 to revert to what it should be?
[02:36] <Dulak> fryguy: that simply adds the user to the gorup doesn't change the default group
[02:36] <droids> if nick2 is my user name?
[02:36] <fryguy> droids: no
[02:36] <RivitingOne> Falstius: I copy pasted that in and it said command not found
[02:36] <stdin> linguini: if you have static IP configuration, then it's not really needed
[02:36] <fryguy> Dulak: the user doesn't exist yet, so it will set the default group
[02:36] <mkartic> fryguy: animated wallpapers, maybe a dockbar, windows effects etc.  i just want to explore the eye candy front! :)
[02:36] <LoveGuru> i just try to run vmware-config-tools.pl its stuck on prompt asking about "what is the location of directory of C header files that match your running kernel? /usr/src/linux/include" i didn't know about this line can please someone help me thanks.
[02:37] <droids> fryguy: i did it after i created the user.
[02:37] <linguini> stdin: Yeah, that's what I want; a static IP setup.  I find NetworkManager annoying...
[02:37] <fryguy> droids: then you are probably ok.
[02:37] <kurnia> hi
[02:37] <Falstius> RivitingOne: sorry, old habbit from Redhat 9 days :)  sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
