[00:01] <dabbill> xzcvczx, http://paste.ubuntu.com/36983/
[00:01] <mkquist__> xzcvczx: well, now i'm thinking i'm just confused...  let me get back to you if need be...  I'm not new to linux. thanx
[00:02] <kaseli> hi i installed ubuntu normally with gtk/gnome, then i apt-get'd xfce4. my sound does not work in xfce4, any ideas?
[00:02] <kaseli> alsamixer finds my card fine, and it works in gnome/gtk
[00:04] <ekow> has anyone been able to get the zune to work with ubuntu, in amarok or any media player?
[00:05] <Meesis_Meeso> crap
[00:05] <Meesis_Meeso> how do I reset my volume settings?
[00:06] <Meesis_Meeso> I messed around with the volum
[00:06] <Meesis_Meeso> no it wont work
[00:06] <debCarlos> What's better for my usb key? ReiserFS or ext3 ?
[00:06] <xzcvczx> debCarlos: you better off just using vfat
[00:06] <Slart> debCarlos: only using it for linux machines?
[00:06] <debCarlos> yeah
[00:06] <debCarlos> only linux
[00:06] <debCarlos> It's my backup usb key :)
[00:07] <Slart> debCarlos: I use ntfs for all my external storage.. windows is so limited when it comes to other file systems
[00:07] <HymnToLife> debCarlos: none, you shouldn't use a joirnaling FS on flash memory
[00:07] <HymnToLife> if it's Linux only, go with ext2
[00:07] <HymnToLife> journaling*
[00:07] <debCarlos> ext2 ?
[00:07] <Slart> debCarlos: I would go with ext3 then.. or ext2.. not sure you need the journal
[00:07] <debCarlos> Ok
[00:07] <HymnToLife> debCarlos: basically ext3 without the journaling
[00:07] <debCarlos> What's journal ?
[00:07] <Slart> !journal
[00:07] <Slart> bah..
[00:07] <debCarlos> lol
[00:08] <debCarlos> Don't worry, i'll go to wikipedia
[00:08] <Slart> debCarlos: it's a .. well.. a feature to make the file system handle sudden power downs and other stuff better
[00:08] <debCarlos> ok :)
[00:08] <Slart> debCarlos: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journaling_file_system
[00:09] <xzcvczx> is there anything more brutal than killall -9?
[00:09] <dabbill> xzcvczx, http://paste.ubuntu.com/36983/
[00:09] <Slart> xzcvczx:  I don't think so..
[00:10] <th0r> xzcvczx, shutdown -h now
[00:10] <Slart> xzcvczx: personally I think "slay -9" sounds cooler.. but I think it's the same in the end.. signal 9
[00:10] <minimax_> xzcvczx: maybe a sysrq code
[00:10] <xzcvczx> dabbill: yeah, it looks as though its doing resets when it shouldnt be and is therefore trying to change adress which is causing issues
[00:10] <xzcvczx> th0r: lol you don't know how close i am to that
[00:11] <debCarlos> xzcvczx: Take your HDD and throw it against the wall lol
[00:11] <xzcvczx> th0r: althought my computer might not boot afterwards :S
[00:11] <dabbill> xzcvczx, it just started like last wednessday or thursday, any idea what may have caused it
[00:11] <xzcvczx> debCarlos: if done hard enough my computer definately won't boot after that
[00:11] <kaseli> is there a small .mp3 somewhere, like /usr/share, i can use to test my audio?
[00:11] <dabbill> xzcvczx, about that time i added gmail checker but that was the only thing i added.
[00:11] <kaseli> like, wheres the logon sound at
[00:11] <Slart> kaseli: I think there's an ogg in ~/examples or something
[00:11] <xzcvczx> kaseli: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
[00:11] <debCarlos> xzcvczx: lol, you asked for something brutal
[00:11] <kaseli> k
[00:11] <nDuff> xzcvczx, is the process you're looking at zombied or D-stated?
[00:12] <debCarlos>  Slart: Yeah, there's a ogg in examples
[00:12] <qr_> I'm trying to configure dual monitors with an ATI card, however the second screen does not display anything and I have the following entry in Xorg.0.log:  'fglrx(1): Quitting secondary screen -- no monitor specified.'  does anyone know what could be causing this??

[00:12] <tayfun> hey people can someone tell me if there is a some software or a info web site for brute force attack command generator?
[00:12] <xzcvczx> nDuff: it claims not to be but localedef using 371:49.87units of time on a 1ghz doesn't seem particularly normal to me
[00:13] <rohden> Anyone ever used UNetbootin before? Does it work (well)?
[00:13] <debCarlos> xzcvczx: Just shutdown your computer holding the power button, that works too :D
[00:14] <tayfun> hey people can someone tell me if there is a some software or a info web site for brute force attack command generator?
[00:14] <nDuff> xzcvczx, seems not to be what?
[00:14] <xzcvczx> nDuff: zombied
[00:14] <debCarlos> rohden: I and some guy used it earlier, he was on a SD card and i was in a usb key.... didn't work for us lol
[00:14] <qr_> tayfun: we're not going to help you be a script kiddie, you need to do that on your own.
[00:14] <tayfun> ok :(
[00:14] <nDuff> xzcvczx, well, yar -- if it's zombied it isn't using *any* CPU time, as it doesn't actually exist. Anyhow, you could look at the process table (or in top, or ps, or whatever) and get an actual *certain* answer to that question

[00:15] <vilhelm> anyone know if it is possible to get a cube with compiz in Kubuntu? like the one in Ubuntu ?
[00:16] <debCarlos> Heym, JubilieOfLights just spammed me :\
[00:17] <IndyGunFreak> vilhelm: yes it is.
[00:17] <mkquist__> why would a disk not allow change in ownership?
[00:17] <vilhelm> how? i cant get more than 2 virtual desktops :(
[00:17] <IndyGunFreak> vilhelm: that i don't know, i pretty much think compiz is stupid.
[00:18] <vilhelm> ok :(
[00:18] <xzcvczx> mkquist__: what fs and whats the umask
[00:19] <tphilosopher> Hey guys. Do any of you know a book I could download and use offline about bash scripting?
[00:20] <nDuff> mkquist__, if it's a non-unix filesystem, there's one reason
[00:20] <locohost_> o'reilly bash?
[00:20] <kaseli> OMFG
[00:20] <nDuff> mkquist__, ...can't very well change ownership and permission bits on a filesystem that doesn't have 'em.
[00:20] <kaseli> well i FRICKIN figured out why my sound wasnt working....
[00:20] <kaseli> i pressed the "m" key when i had alsamixer up
[00:20] <tphilosopher> Google is not my friend today ;)
[00:20] <kaseli> on accident
[00:20] <kaseli> and muted my main channel...woops
[00:20] <kaseli> -
[00:20] <kaseli> -_-;
[00:21] <tphilosopher> One other catch. It's gotta be free.
[00:21] <qr_> I'm trying to configure dual monitors with an ATI card, however the second screen does not display anything and I have the following entry in Xorg.0.log:  'fglrx(1): Quitting secondary screen -- no monitor specified.'  does anyone know what could be causing this??
[00:21] <kaseli> man bash?
[00:22] <nDuff> xzcvczx, heh, fun. And kill -9 doesn't work?
[00:22] <xzcvczx> kaseli: thats what the M in the box below the meter represents :P
[00:22] <nDuff> xzcvczx, if it's in R state, I'd *really* think it would.
[00:22] <kaseli> yeah i know that now. lol. i was like "wtf"
[00:22] <xzcvczx> nDuff: nope
[00:22] <KenBW2> im looking at getting a webcam.  What's the chances it'll work?
[00:22] <kaseli> "this should be working!"
[00:22] <nDuff> xzcvczx, bizarre.
[00:22] <xzcvczx> nDuff: any idea if its safe to just reboot the machine, as i am doing an upgrade from 7.x to 8.x at the moment
[00:23] <Jerusalem420> it used to be that when i selected something with my mouse, i could then middle click my mouse and paste it. that feature seems to have stopped functioning. any ideas?
[00:23] <nDuff> xzcvczx, what's the processes parent?
[00:23] <nDuff> xzcvczx, it may be safer to kill its parent than to reboot in the middle of an upgrade
[00:23] <xzcvczx> nDuff: well its parent will most likely be the upgrade process
[00:23] <locohost_> i wouldnt reboot in the middle of an upgrade...
[00:23] <Jerusalem420> anyone?
[00:24] <mellery> can someone help me share a folder on a ubuntu guest in virtual box?
[00:24] <nDuff> xzcvczx, maybe, maybe not. it may be that its parent is an inconsequential preinstall or postinstall script called by the upgrade process
[00:24] <nDuff> xzcvczx, if that's the case, killing that script is much safer than terminating the whole upgrade process
[00:24] <KenBW2> http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Electronics/Cameras/Webcams/Internet+Phone+Kit+(WebCam+%2B+Headset)+?productId=32460&noVat=0 <-- any reason why it wouldnt work?
[00:24] <xzcvczx> nDuff: true, how do you find out what the parent is?
[00:24] <nDuff> xzcvczx, ps auxw --forest
[00:25] <kadko> Hello, I want to make a bridge from my wireless hardware to my ethernet hardware to share internet whit the ethernet port, any one can help me?
[00:25] <favro> tphilosopher: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
[00:25] <xzcvczx> maybe haystack might be a better description :P
[00:25] <rambo3> such an ugly web adress someone should teach them irl rewrite
[00:25] <rambo3> irl url
[00:25] <StealthCP_> kadko, using Wireless or wired method?
[00:25] <KenBW2> rambo3: you referring to me?
[00:25] <kadko> using wireless
[00:26] <rambo3> KenBW2, no to aria.co.uk. And i was talking to my self
[00:26] <StealthCP_> depends.  are you using dd-wrt? (see #dd-wrt)
[00:26] <tphilosopher> favro: Thank you very much
[00:26] <StealthCP_> I have a bridge in a similar manner,
[00:26] <kadko> nope im not using
[00:27] <xzcvczx> nDuff: ah thanks, that has got it continuing
[00:27] <Jerusalem420> it used to be that when i selected something with my mouse, i could then middle click my mouse and paste it. that feature seems to have stopped functioning. any ideas?
[00:27] <xzcvczx> nDuff: it appears it had a defunct gzip process
[00:27] <xzcvczx> (child)
[00:28] <droopsta915> im downloading PacketTracer5_i3
[00:29] <fiberchunks> damn, anyone have a graphics tablet with a throttle wheel that scrolls?
[00:29] <Shaba1> How does one change the display resolustion under xubuntu. I went to the desktop settings applet and all that is there is 'default'
[00:29] <droopsta915> sorry hit enter on accident
[00:29] <fiberchunks> I'm having a wonderful time trying to get it working
[00:29] <Jerusalem420> does anyone know what I'm talking about?
[00:29] <IndyGunFreak> fiberchunks: what model is it?
[00:30] <droopsta915> im downloading PacketTracer5_i386_installer-deb.bin ow can i get the fi o install and run?
[00:30]  * Jerusalem420 feels like i'm talking to the wall. not to complain to much. I realize that people help with what they can and that I've gotten lots of help here.
[00:31] <Jerusalem420> damn, did i scare all those people off?
[00:31] <Meesis_Meeso> lol
[00:31] <droopsta915> im downloading PacketTracer5_i386_installer-deb.bin how can i get the file to install and run?
[00:31] <Jerusalem420> yeah! a reaction
[00:31] <droopsta915> sorry keyboard problems
[00:31] <fiberchunks> IndyGunFreak, intuos2
[00:31] <Jerusalem420> thank you meesis_meeso
[00:32] <IndyGunFreak> hm, fiberchunks sorry, i don't really know much about them, but ive saw trouble shooting on a few of them here(but not that one)
[00:32] <fiberchunks> i've grokked the howto's on the ubuntu fora, but it seems that I've not been able to find anything relating to the "throttle"
[00:32] <Jerusalem420> gnite all
[00:32] <mkquist__> nDuff - like ntfs maybe?
[00:33] <Shaba1> droopsta915 what does packet tracer do?
[00:33] <mkquist__> nDuff: good point... thanx
[00:33] <droopsta915> its a network simulator from the cisco web site, it is for ubuntu.
[00:33] <droopsta915> i need it to do my homework
[00:34] <Shaba1> ah yes. I have it for windows
[00:34] <Shaba1> I used to be a CCIA but I let my certification lapse. Now I would have to start all over again
[00:34] <droopsta915> shabal. do you have version 5?
[00:34] <Shaba1> ver. 4.11 IIRC
[00:34] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[00:35] <Shaba1> How does one change the display resolustion under xubuntu. I went to the desktop settings applet and all that is there is 'default'
[00:35] <droopsta915> good enogh. well do u know how i can install after i get the download?
[00:35] <Shaba1> with windows its a self extracting .msi file
[00:35] <Shaba1> I could not tell you on linux
[00:35] <IndyGunFreak> Shaba1: isnt there a menu option, something like "screen resolution".... can'mt remember.. been a while since i used xfce
[00:35] <debCarlos> droopsta915: Did you downloaded a bin file ?
[00:35] <xzcvczx> Shaba1: tried ctrl+alt++ or ctrl+alt+-?
[00:35] <droopsta915> yes it's downloading as we speak.
[00:35] <pajamian> Hi everyone.  I'm having problems printing to my Brother DCP-540CN.  When I try to print it sits in the print queue on "Processing" indefinately.  Can anyone help me find the problem?
[00:36] <Shaba1> al++
[00:36] <Shaba1> ??
[00:36] <xzcvczx> droopsta915: chmod u+x x.bin ./bin
[00:36] <xzcvczx> droopsta915: chmod u+x x.bin ./x.bin
[00:36] <Shaba1> you mean the alt key and the plus keY?
[00:36] <xzcvczx> Shaba1: and ctrl
[00:36] <droopsta915> cool, will try when done dloading thanx.
[00:36] <klikklak> hey all, I've googled but didn't find it.  How do I set file-roller to open movies with some other program than totem? (xmonad doesn't fullscreen with it)
[00:36] <debCarlos> droopsta915: ok, then when it's downloaded do: chmod +x archive  and then   ./archive
[00:37] <pajamian> !xubuntu | Shaba1
[00:37] <Cutter> what's the point of Xubuntu
[00:37] <Cutter> ?
[00:37] <Shaba1> xzcvczx I know what it is.
[00:38] <xzcvczx> Cutter: less resource hungry and xfce instead of gnome
[00:38] <Cutter> it's still about 2 times slower than XP
[00:38] <xzcvczx> Shaba1: i am not the one who said tgar
[00:38] <pajamian> Cutter: lighter weight desktop for computers with less RAM.
[00:38] <xzcvczx> s/tgar/that/
[00:38] <Shaba1> I just had to reinstall it since the damn windows recovery cd i used reformated the whole hard drive
[00:38] <Cutter> if I had o decent comp I would install Ubuntu
[00:38] <Cutter> because I have a crappy one I must install XP
[00:38] <IndyGunFreak> pajamian: honestly i'm not sure how much "lighter" it is than Gnome/kDE nowdays, its not really that light anymore
[00:39] <Shaba1> I have windows and xubuntu back but I am in the process of getting xubuntu running again as I had it before
[00:39] <xzcvczx> Cutter: you use the right wm etc you will get linux running much better than xp
[00:39] <IndyGunFreak> Cutter: if you have a PC that will run XP, id' say its highly likely it will run Ubuntu
[00:39] <pajamian> IndyGunFreak: fair enough.
[00:39] <Cutter> IndyGunFreak: absolutely not
[00:39] <IndyGunFreak> pajamian: if you really need light, flux or e17 is proably where its at
[00:39] <Cutter> Xubuntu was a nightmare
[00:39] <IndyGunFreak> Cutter: either you're talking out of your backside, or you don't remember when Xfce really was light
[00:40] <eross> i'm playing with anjuta, should I go with gnome, GTK, GTKmm, or wxwidgets?  What's easier and has less dependencies?
[00:40] <klikklak> no solution? it's hardcoded in to fileroller? .. damn.
[00:40] <xzcvczx> IndyGunFreak: e17 isn't really that light anymore... uses a lot of graphics resources
[00:40] <Cutter> XP runs almost well
[00:40] <pajamian> IndyGunFreak: I'm fine with ubuntu, though my 512 megs of ram is stretching a bit thin with Hardy.
[00:40] <IndyGunFreak> pajamian: yeah..
[00:40] <pajamian> IndyGunFreak: I'll probably be looking for a RAM upgrade soon.
[00:40] <IndyGunFreak> pajamian: ram is cheap on ebay
[00:40] <IndyGunFreak> especially if you have a system thats a little on the old side.
[00:40] <debCarlos> lol
[00:40] <abe3k> Hello guys, I have a question regarding the Save file dialogs
[00:40] <xzcvczx> abe3k: thats nice
[00:40] <abe3k> they take forever to load each time they're requested
[00:40] <debCarlos> !lolin
[00:41] <pajamian> IndyGunFreak: yeah, but getting it shipped to NZ is a bit of a pain.  Easier to get it on Trademe (the NZ equivelent of ebay)
[00:41] <xzcvczx> pajamian: haha, what part of nz?
[00:41] <IndyGunFreak> pajamian: i bought a machine at a pawn shop for liek $150 .. w/ a monitor... i had a special purpose for it that didn't rquire windows, so it was no big deal... but it only had 64.. i maxed it out at 1gig, for like 18
[00:41] <Cutter> xzcvczx: there should be a fluxbox edition of ubuntu instead of Xubuntu
[00:41] <pajamian> anyways, before someone !ot's me...
[00:41] <Shaba1> I am going to try that in a minute xzcvczx. Right now its downloading updates
[00:41] <Cutter> Xubuntu is too close to the two tohers
[00:41] <IndyGunFreak> pajamian: oh ok.. didn't realize you werent in the us
[00:41] <Cutter> in terms of system reqs
[00:41] <crdlb> Cutter: there is
[00:42] <IndyGunFreak> Cutter: there is a fluxbox edition
[00:42] <Cutter> but it's not official
[00:42] <xzcvczx> Cutter: its not really ubuntus way though... ubuntu is made to be as user friendly as possible which fluxbox is not
[00:42] <crdlb> and it's not as if you can't install whatever window manager you want
[00:42] <pajamian> anyways, can anyone help me with my printer problem (posted above)?
[00:42] <IndyGunFreak> Cutter: thne install whater, and stick flux on top of it.
[00:42] <Cutter> I'm talking about canonical's strategy
[00:42] <Meesis_Meeso> where can I finnd infor about my system like RAM and processor speed???
[00:42] <droopsta915> I downloaded VMware-server-1.0 6-9189.tar.gz ,the files are extracted in the homefolder, how would i use it?
[00:42] <abe3k> save file dialog as in gimp, pidgin , firefox ... etc.  take a long time to load
[00:42] <Cutter> Ubuntu would touch a broader audience with a very lightweight Ubuntu edition
[00:42] <abe3k> the application freezes until the file list is shown
[00:43] <Cutter> Xubuntu doesn't fill this requirement of a lightweight distrib
[00:43] <debCarlos> Meesis_Meeso: In system monitor under system tab
[00:43] <geirha> Cutter: Ubuntu server ;P
[00:43] <binarymutant> I compiled my kernel and modules but when I reboot it says it cant find lib/modules/<IP_ADDRESS> or /lib/modules/<IP_ADDRESS>/modules.dep.temp but both folder and file are there, does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
[00:43] <abe3k> any one can help me ?
[00:43] <Meesis_Meeso> 2.5 GB of RAM...
[00:43] <Meesis_Meeso> Time for upgrade?
[00:44] <Shaba1> Well it was the only version of ubuntu that would run on my laptop
[00:44] <IndyGunFreak> Meesis_Meeso: 32bit only recognizes up to 3.5gigs i do believe..
[00:44] <xzcvczx> Meesis_Meeso: how bout a nice cup of STFI :P
[00:44] <pajamian> Meesis_Meeso: 2.5 gig is plenty for most people.
[00:44] <debCarlos> Meesis_Meeso: lol, i have only 2GB of RAM and it's perfect
[00:44] <xzcvczx> s/STFI/STFU/
[00:44] <IndyGunFreak> Meesis_Meeso: but 2.5gigs, is more than enough 99% of people running Ubuntu
[00:44] <Meesis_Meeso> heh
[00:44] <Cutter> btw how much RAM does Linux support?
[00:44] <droopsta915> lol i have 640mb
[00:44] <IndyGunFreak> Cutter: 3.5gigs 32bit..
[00:44] <pajamian> Cutter: lots, but it depends.
[00:44] <Cutter> Windows 32 bit supports about 3Gb I think
[00:44] <IndyGunFreak> i think 64bit, supports like 128gigs or something
[00:44] <droopsta915> works fine for me
[00:45] <pajamian> the 32 bit server kernel will support more than 3.5 gigs, I believe.
[00:45] <Meesis_Meeso> heh my processor is ... 2.2GHZ
[00:45] <debCarlos> My old machine had only 512MB ram and 1ghz and it was... perfect lol
[00:45] <pajamian> and, of course, 64 bit will support loads more.
[00:45] <Meesis_Meeso> Time for upgrade?
[00:45] <xzcvczx> IndyGunFreak: lol with that much ram who needs harddrives
[00:45] <IndyGunFreak> xzcvczx: lol
[00:45] <abe3k> any one experiencing a long delay in opening the save file dialogs in any application ?
[00:45] <Cutter> pajamian: are there a "server" and a "desktop" kernel?
[00:45] <bdk> idk I run ubuntu on vmware and I give it 3 gigs of Ram
[00:45] <debCarlos> Cutter: I think it supports up to 4Gb ..
[00:45] <pajamian> Meesis_Meeso: that's fine.  Why are you asking anyways?
[00:45] <debCarlos> lol
[00:45] <bdk> runs pretty fine
[00:45] <pajamian> Cutter: yes.
[00:46] <Meesis_Meeso> I'm dual-booting with XP and Ubuntu
[00:46] <Meesis_Meeso> can I increase my Ubuntu partition in WIndows?
[00:46] <abe3k> is this the right place to ask a question about save file dialogs ?
[00:46] <Cutter> I thought the kernel was a common part to all distribs
[00:46] <IndyGunFreak> Meesis_Meeso: i thought you used Wubi?
[00:46] <debCarlos> 128GB, lol
[00:46] <Meesis_Meeso> yeah
[00:46] <qr_> !ask | abe3k
[00:46] <crdlb> Cutter: it's just configured differently
[00:46] <Meesis_Meeso> I did
[00:46] <IndyGunFreak> Meesis_Meeso: i told you yesterday, you don't have a partition, you have a virtual drive.
[00:47] <IndyGunFreak> big big difference
[00:47] <crdlb> Cutter: optimized for throughput instead of latency, etc
[00:47] <Meesis_Meeso> oh...
[00:47] <pajamian> Cutter: it's the same kernel, but it's been compiled with different internal settings that make one more suitable for server use and one more suitable for desktop use.
[00:47] <IndyGunFreak> Meesis_Meeso: but you can look at wubi, adn see if you can expand the size of it, i'm not really sure how
[00:47] <Cutter> ok
[00:47] <babatuli> hi, i just buy a bluetooth keyboard... had anyone successful make a bluetooth keyboard work in linux??? im having problemswith it

[00:48] <syntropy> is it possible to use a builtin IGP as well as a PCI-Ex one simultaneously?
[00:48] <droopsta915> where is my bin folder located?
[00:48] <xzcvczx> babatuli: did your keyboard come with a bluetooth dongle?
[00:49] <babatuli> whats bluetooth dongle?
[00:49] <babatuli> it comes with nothing
[00:49] <babatuli> just the keyboard
[00:49] <xzcvczx> babatuli: then you will need to go buy a bluetooth dongle
[00:49] <d4t4min3r> i see... advanced desktop effects.. then compiz fusion icon.. then desktop effects
[00:49] <favro> droopsta915: type   $PATH   in a terminal
[00:49] <Cutter> dongle = USB bluetooth receiver
[00:49] <d4t4min3r> can anyone help me
[00:49] <droopsta915> thanx
[00:49] <Cutter> looks like a USB memory
[00:50] <Cutter> stick
[00:50] <rzec> i have been trying for the past 3 days to install ubuntu.  I have tried 8.04(64 bit and 32 bit) and 7.10(32bit) and all of them give me a (initramfs) prompt.  I have been able to instal ubuntu before on this computer so i don't know why i can't anymore.
[00:50] <babatuli> ah i see.. cause asuseee does not include one..i had to buy a bluetooth dongle
[00:50] <xzcvczx> it just says bluetooth somewhere on it instead of xGB or something like that
[00:50] <IndyGunFreak> rzec: have you tried the alt. install cd?
[00:50] <babatuli> i will try with my other laptop that it seems to have the internal bluetooth
[00:50] <debCarlos> !ask | d4t4min3r
[00:51] <d4t4min3r> wanting to install compiz but wich one do i install from add/remove
[00:51] <rzec> no i guess i can try that.
[00:51] <IndyGunFreak> rzec: that would be my suggestion, and stick w/ 32bit, for the best compatibility

[00:52] <droopsta915> my file downloaded on to the dektop, how should i install the file?
[00:53] <xzcvczx> abe3k: obviously no one does,
[00:53] <jmichelsen_> droopsta915: what kind of file
[00:53] <babatuli> xzcvczx SO you mean that I need a laptop that includes bluetooth.. if it does not. i need a bluetooth dongle???
[00:53] <droopsta915> bin
[00:53] <debCarlos> d4t4min3r: It's more easy this way: Open a terminal (Apps->Accesnsories->Terminal) and type sudo aptitude install compiz   then give your pass and it will be installed with no prob
[00:53] <Sardonic_Akcin> can someone point me to a tutorial for installing flash on 8.04

[00:53] <debCarlos> droopsta915: chmod +x file.bin   and then ./file.bin

[00:55] <gregge_>  I bought a laptop a couple of weeks ago.. It's supposed to have a geforce 8400 with 256 ram in it.. but I was trying to install stalker now(wine) and the installer claimed this: X11 Windowing System ~128MB
[00:55] <jmichelsen_> anyone know when the next release is?
[00:56] <qr_> jmichelsen_: october
[00:56] <debCarlos> d4t4min3r: Yeah, it's cool, but it needs compiz :)
[00:56] <debCarlos> lol
[00:56] <debCarlos> !awn
[00:56] <jmichelsen_> qr_: thanks
[00:56] <debCarlos> The next ubuntu release ?
[00:56] <IndyGunFreak> !next
[00:56] <d4t4min3r> do u have a link
[00:56] <jmichelsen_> debCarlos: yea
[00:57] <gregge_> How can I verify how much memory my graphics card really has?
[00:57] <d4t4min3r> debCarlos, do you have a link
[00:57] <debCarlos> Oh, ok
[00:57] <crdlb> gregge_: you can  check in nvidia-settings
[00:57] <jmichelsen_> !paste
[00:57] <itai-michaelson> hi,i'm creating a network share on my xp box to share with several ubuntu boxes. does it matter if the share is NTFS? will i experience problems with that?
[00:57] <IndyGunFreak> jmichelsen_: 8.10(08yr, 10th month)
[00:57] <blinX123> ok so my problem is that whenever i logon the monitor changes the resolution to 1200x800. i have recently done some modifications to the X configuration file, so now the monitor is my primary and defult screen. its alrigth on the logon screen but when i log on it changes down the resolution.
[00:57] <jmichelsen_> IndyGunFreak: thanks
[00:57] <debCarlos> d4t4min3r: Just install it with sudo aptitude install awn :)
[00:57] <xzcvczx> itai-michaelson: no
[00:57] <jamesp_> itai-michaelson: Nope
[00:57] <jmichelsen_> itai-michaelson: nada
[00:57] <itai-michaelson> thats very reassuring
[00:58] <itai-michaelson> :-)
[00:58] <jamesp_> yup
[00:58] <IndyGunFreak> jmichelsen_: if you know the version numbers, that will always tell you when it was released.. 8.04(08yr, 04month), 7.10, 6.06, etc.
[00:58] <debCarlos> d4t4min3r: Or, if it doesn't work try google :)
[00:58] <xzcvczx> itai-michaelson: what, that 3 people all gave you the same answer?
[00:58] <crdlb> d4t4min3r: the package name is avant-window-navigator
[00:58] <itai-michaelson> xzcvczx, that it was a unanimous NO
[00:58] <xzcvczx> lol
[00:58] <jmichelsen_> IndyGunFreak: i dont know the new ver # ;)
[00:58] <xzcvczx> is rm -rf / a smart thing to do?
[00:59] <qr_> yes
[00:59] <qr_> absolutely
[00:59] <candive> ! syslinux.cfg
[00:59] <prince_jammys> xzcvczx: it's a smart thing to say here if you want to get kicked
[00:59] <jmichelsen_> IndyGunFreak: I mean didnt know it
[00:59] <IndyGunFreak> jmichelsen_: ubuntu has a hard, 6mo release cycle, so if a version was released 8.04, then 6mo later, its gonna be .10  which means 8.10
[00:59] <crdlb> blinX123: tried changing it in system > preferences > screen resolution?
[00:59] <xzcvczx> prince_jammys: it was asked as a question not recommending or telling someone to do it?
[00:59] <xzcvczx> qr_: lol nice
[01:00] <jmichelsen_> IndyGunFreak: ah great, thanks
[01:00] <prince_jammys> xzcvczx: doesn't matter. people get kicked just for saying it
[01:00] <itai-michaelson> xzcvczx, i was fighting with that partition trying to format it as fat32 but couldnt do it, partition magic refused, qt parted refused
[01:00] <gregge> crdlb: Thanks.. Problem is, it says it's even 512 mb, when it's supposed to be a 256mb-card... Is it reliable?
[01:00] <duelboot> anyone know an smb channel...i had to edit /etc/host to force my ubuntu laptop to print to my shared printer even though I didn't need to update it to "see" it...any ideas?
[01:00] <k4r1m> hcould somebody help me with totem/banshee and mkv files? im able to play the files but im not getting any sound when the ppl talk...
[01:01] <blinX123> its set to 1680x1050.. but now i have also said that it should be 1680x1050 in the nvidia-settings. its ok now, but not on startup..
[01:01] <leoechevarria> i got a problem with apt-move... i've installed it in a network station. I mounted an apache server in one of the machines, and then accessed to this new repo from the other pcs. The problem is that i can't find some packages from this other machines, such as abiword or konversation, and i can install for example gcompris from the internal repository. I know i got the packages in the repo directory,but i don't know why i can't use them from the
[01:01] <leoechevarria> clients. Any idea? Sorry for the long story, i'musing hardy in all thmachines
[01:01] <regulardrake> hey guys

[01:01] <trigpin> i need help with song bird , i installed a new theme now the gui had died , is there a way i can manualy change it from terminal ?
[01:02] <abe3k> Hi, I'm having a problem with the "Save File" dialogs as they take a long time to load, while loading the application freezes , applications like firefox , gimp , pidgin , even printscreen... etc, then the application returns to normal after half a minute of waiting. please respond if you have a clue, thanks
[01:03] <duelboot> i had to edit /etc/host to force my ubuntu laptop to print to my shared printer (on a windows box).  I didn't need to update /etc/host to see the share and set up the printer...only to print to it (otherwise it did a DNS query to find it)...any ideas on getting smb to work properly?
[01:03] <blinX123> hos is AWN compared to cairo on 8.04?
[01:03] <trigpin>  i need help with song bird , i installed a new theme now the gui had died , is there a way i can manualy change it from terminal ?
[01:03] <gregge> crdlb: No, it doesn''t say so. it just states it as Memory: 512 MB... I doubt I'm checking the wrong tab...
[01:03] <qr_> trigpin: you could try purging it and reinstalling, that should revert it to default settings.
[01:04] <gregge> But I can assure you they can't have given me a better card than a 256 MB
[01:04] <crdlb> blinX123: awn is more mature than cairo-dock, plus it's in the repos unlike cairo-dock :)
[01:04] <xzcvczx> abe3k: have you googled it?
[01:04] <crdlb> qr_: that's not going to touch user settings (~/)
[01:05] <trigpin> qr_: ok thanxs will do , i installed via a package not synaptic how would i do it ?
[01:05] <r0cks0ul> $
[01:05] <r0cks0ul> #
[01:05] <qr_> crdlb: hmm, good point. so a purge and rm -rf .songbird (or whatever)
[01:05] <abe3k> xzcvcx: yes but nothing solved the problem
[01:06] <crdlb> qr_: you can skip the reinstall :)
[01:06] <abe3k> xzcvczx: yes but nothing solved the problem
[01:06] <qr_> trigpin: you can purge an application with 'sudo apt-get purge package', but listen to crdlb, he's making a good point here.
[01:06] <r0cks0ul> 0x0h'
[01:06] <xzcvczx> abe3k: even disabling compiz?
[01:06] <prince_jammys> trigpin: temporarily rename ~/.songbird , if there is such a file
[01:06] <abe3k> xzcvczx: even without compizfusion running
[01:07] <blinX123> anymore suggestions on my monitor problem?
[01:07] <abe3k> xzcvczx: heres what happens
[01:07] <abe3k> xzcvczx: it opens up and shows the files
[01:07] <abe3k> xzcvczx: then it freezes
[01:07] <trigpin> prince_jammys,  sorry , what would that do ?
[01:07] <xzcvczx> amazingly i have already seen you say that about 30 times
[01:07] <prince_jammys> trigpin: it would get rid of your user's songbird settings
[01:07] <prince_jammys> trigpin: but you could recover them if it's ever necessary
[01:08] <prince_jammys> trigpin: mv ~/.songbird ~/.songbird-old
[01:08] <Milky> i am using ubuntu intrepid alpha 3 with compiz.  i can enable compiz fine, but all i can get is the 'normal' effects.  if i change the effects level to 'extra' or if i try to change the settings using ccsm, my changes take no effect at all.  I know that intrepid is still in alpha so this problem might go away eventually, but i have never had the problem before in hardy and i am just wondering if anyone has ever had this problem
[01:08] <duiu_> If I use SSH X Tunneling to run Handbrake, do I have to have handbrake installed on the ssh client or server?
[01:08] <Daze1> Hey.. I've installed e16 but I have no idea how to use it... anybody know how to... access it?
[01:08] <trigpin> prince_jammys,  ah thanxs
[01:08] <crdlb> Milky: intrepid support in #ubuntu+1
[01:08] <duelboot> i had to edit /etc/host to force my ubuntu laptop to print to my shared printer (on a windows box).  I didn't need to update /etc/host to see the share and set up the printer...only to print to it (otherwise it did a DNS query to find it)...any ideas on getting smb to work properly?
[01:08] <prince_jammys> trigpin: the application should generate a new settings file
[01:09] <xzcvczx> duiu_: server
[01:09] <Milky> ok, sorry about that, thank you!
[01:09] <Slart> duiu_: I don't know what handbrake is/does but my guess would be you need it on the server
[01:09] <xzcvczx> Slart: dvd backup tool
[01:09] <Slart> ah, thanks xzcvczx
[01:09] <prince_jammys> trigpin: check for the name of the file or directory with: ls ~/.song*
[01:09] <duiu_> Slart: Thanks

[01:13] <mrpockets> i need to make a bootable USB stick from a .iso
[01:13] <duelboot> i had to edit /etc/host to force my ubuntu laptop to print to my shared printer (on a windows box).  I didn't need to update /etc/host to see the share and set up the printer...only to print to it (otherwise it did a DNS query to find it)...any ideas on getting smb to work properly?
[01:13] <Gnea> !usb | mrpockets
[01:13] <mrpockets> Gnea, its not Ubuntu
[01:13] <mrpockets> i'm IN Ubuntu
[01:13] <binarymutant> can someone help me with my broadcom wifi card? The drivers are already installed but it wont pull a dhcp request for some reason
[01:13] <trigpin> prince_jammys,  found songbird file /home/emilien/Songbird renamed too /home/emilien/Songbird-false did not work
[01:13] <Gnea> mrpockets: oh, well it's #ubuntu
[01:13] <mrpockets> yeah
[01:13] <xzcvczx> binarymutant: is it associated with an ap?
[01:13] <Gnea> :)
[01:13] <mrpockets> ...cause i'm trying to do it IN ubuntu.
[01:14] <mrpockets> :-p
[01:14] <binarymutant> xzcvczx: it says it isnt
[01:14] <prince_jammys> trigpin: what didn't work? the renaming or the gui problem?
[01:14] <momelod> hello channel
[01:14] <xzcvczx> binarymutant: then you first need to associate it with an ap
[01:14] <Gnea> and since it's #ubuntu, you'd be doing it FOR ubuntu, otherwise you'd have to ask them about it
[01:14] <momelod> Is there a way to prevent NetworkManager from updating my /etc/resolv.conf
[01:14] <bobyada> I am trying to VNC into my laptop on a LAN and it keeps saying that the host closed the connection... not sure what changed. any ideas?
[01:14] <Gnea> mrpockets: well, what are you trying to do, exactly?
[01:14] <xzcvczx> momelod: make it immutable :P
[01:15] <trigpin> prince_jammys,  i renamed it , but i loaded song bir gui problem still there
[01:15] <mrpockets> Gnea, I have a Backtrack3-USB.ISO
[01:15] <binarymutant> xzcvczx: how do I do that with iwconfig, I normally have done iwconfig wlan essid "essid" enc on key s:pass?
[01:15] <momelod> i have used the command `chattr +i` but now i cant use the networkmanager to manage my networking
[01:15] <prince_jammys> trigpin: the settings file almost definitely begins with a dot, and is hidden by default. so you meant .Songbird?
[01:15] <mrpockets> i need to load Backtrack3 onto my Aspire, and all i've got is a 2gig USB drive
[01:15] <momelod> seems like it tries to write to /etc/resolv.conf but cant and just timesout trying...
[01:15] <Gnea> mrpockets: and there's no #backtrack nor support in #slackware for it?
[01:16] <mrpockets> didn't try #Slackware
[01:16] <mrpockets> thanks!
[01:16] <xzcvczx> binarymutant: don't have mac filtering on??
[01:16] <binarymutant> xzcvczx: I dont know what that is
[01:16] <xzcvczx> momelod: oh ok, no idea then
[01:16] <tanner> can ubuntu write to a HFS+ partition?
[01:16] <trigpin> prince_jammys,  i installed it my self and did not use dot
[01:16] <Gnea> tanner: in theory
[01:16] <prince_jammys> trigpin: do: ls -a   and look for .songbird
[01:16] <tanner> how about practice
[01:17] <xzcvczx> binarymutant: well for some reason you can't associate with the ap, whether your encryption key is wrong or what
[01:17] <prince_jammys> trigpin: the program  most likely creates that file on its own.
[01:17] <Gnea> tanner: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=4411

[01:20] <tekstacy> prince_jammys, um, don't think so
[01:20] <xzcvczx> Gnea: hacking someone most likely, thats what hydra is for
[01:20] <binarymutant> tekstacy: use dpkg-reconfigure -phigh
[01:20] <prince_jammys> tekstacy: try it. tab cycles through options, i think
[01:21] <mohan34u> I don't know why? But one of my friend wants it.
[01:21] <Gnea> mohan34u: sorry, can't help you. the software is not supported in ubuntu.
[01:21] <xzcvczx> mohan34u: so he can get you in shit when he trys hacking someone from your computer?
[01:21] <tekstacy> prince_jammys, nope, still stops right after keyboard
[01:21] <prince_jammys> mohan34u: 'john' is in the ubuntu repos.
[01:21] <mohan34u> Oh.. is it so?
[01:22] <Gnea> mohan34u: yes, it is.
[01:22] <prince_jammys> mohan34u: otherwise, you'll have to read the documentation online

[01:26] <xzcvczx> d4t4min3r: mplayer blah.mp3 -ao blah.wav might work as well
[01:26] <tekstacy> no, k3b just rips and burns.
[01:27] <Ahadiel> d4t4min3r, try mpg123. ie. mpg123 -w blah.wav blah.mp3
[01:27] <mrpockets> ok
[01:27] <mrpockets> better Q
[01:27] <mrpockets> how do I make a USB Drive bootale in Ubuntu?
[01:27] <Gnea> *AHEM*
[01:27] <Gnea> !usb | mrpockets
[01:27] <mrpockets> lol
[01:27] <mrpockets> thanks man
[01:27] <Gnea> seriously, read it :)
[01:28] <Gnea> only your computer can boot it, ubuntu would have nothing to do with it
[01:30] <mrpockets> if i've only got one USB drive
[01:30] <mrpockets> is sda1 waht it is?
[01:30] <scabflakes> I need some help chaps, if you will.
[01:30] <xzcvczx> !ask scabflakes
[01:30] <xzcvczx> !ask | scabflakes
[01:31] <scabflakes> Excellent, thank you for the rules.

[01:31] <lenyc> Anyone know if ubuntu runs of the Shuttle K48?
[01:31] <Gnea> grrr, audacious is making me want to take a sledgehammer to a hard drive... i miss xmms
[01:31] <IndyGunFreak> Gnea: whats wrong w/ it
[01:31] <Gnea> lenyc: is that a motherboard?
[01:31] <xzcvczx> Gnea: must say i agree with you
[01:31] <Gnea> IndyGunFreak: it lagggggggssssssssss
[01:32] <IndyGunFreak> hmm
[01:32] <Gnea> and... it doesn't work right.
[01:32] <lenyc> No, it is a Shittle box with their own motherboard
[01:32] <Gnea> i'm just trying to listen to a stream. and it... won't... connect..
[01:32] <Gnea> lenyc: is it a PC?
[01:32] <scabflakes> !ask I am having trouble with GnomeBaker latest version.  When I try to burn an audio CD, I get a failed error message which reads: No space left on the resource.gstfilesink.c(574): gst_file_sink_render (): /gnomebaker-convert-to-wav-pipeline/file-outInternal data flow error.gstbasesrc.c(2165): gst_base_src_loop (): /gnomebaker-convert-to-wav-pipeline/file-source:

I am a total noob.  Any ideas?
[01:32]  * Gnea falls over
[01:33] <lenyc> Yes.  Intell CPU
[01:33] <IndyGunFreak> Gnea: lol
[01:33] <Gnea> lenyc: there is a 99.999999999% probability that, yes, Ubuntu will work with it.
[01:33] <xzcvczx> scabflakes: try df -h and see how much space you have left on your hdd
[01:33] <scabflakes> 5.6GB
[01:33] <Gnea> lenyc: as long as you've got 384 megs of ram or more on it, you should be fine
[01:33] <scabflakes> Is that what it is referring to?
[01:33] <IndyGunFreak> man,t hats cuttin it close.
[01:34] <xzcvczx> scabflakes: that or your cd burner isn't sert up properly
[01:34] <Gnea> y'know? i've seen some systems just not cut it with 256
[01:34] <lenyc> OK. I'll give it a try.  Has 2GB RAM.
[01:34] <Gnea> lenyc: oh, it'll cruise :)
[01:34] <lenyc> Hope so.  Thanks.
[01:34] <IndyGunFreak> lenyc: thats PLENTY of ram..
[01:34] <IndyGunFreak> lenyc: just boot a live cd and see how it runs
[01:34] <tekstacy> grr, I need a break before I shoot this dam box
[01:35] <tekstacy> goodnight all
[01:35] <Pavlz-01> hello
[01:35] <scabflakes> Thanks for your help, xzcvczx.  Much obliged.  I'll see what I can do.  It's really annoying.  All I want to do is burn a CD. :-(
[01:35] <lenyc> Good idea.  Hadn't thought of using a live CD.  Thanks again & bye.
[01:35] <scabflakes> hi Pavlz-01
[01:35] <Gnea> scabflakes: basically, you ran out of room on the partition that /tmp is on (probably /).  is /var on its own partition?
[01:35] <Pavlz-01> i need info
[01:35] <Pavlz-01> i got tomem on Ubuntu
[01:35] <Gnea> Pavlz-01: so do we.
[01:35] <IndyGunFreak> johnny 55
[01:36] <Pavlz-01> and i got a file in *.avi
[01:36] <xzcvczx> scabflakes: listen to Gnea, hes smarter than me
[01:36] <scabflakes> Gnea: I am not sure what /var is.  Unfortunately, I am totally new to this.
[01:36] <IndyGunFreak> johnny 5.. info info, need more info.
[01:36] <Pavlz-01> which codec to install ?
[01:36] <scabflakes> xzcvczx: ;-)
[01:36] <luca> ciao
[01:36] <IndyGunFreak> scabflakes: why in the world di you break your partitions down like that/
[01:36] <Pavlz-01> ciao
[01:36] <joejoecircusboy> Why doesn't this video play in Ubuntu? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja5qOR-eyFo
[01:36] <bazhang> ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:37] <mrpockets> k
[01:37] <Gnea> scabflakes: hrm. /var is to linux what \WINDOWS\system32\ is to windows.
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> joejoecircusboy: first thought, is you don't have flash installed
[01:37] <scabflakes> I see.
[01:37] <luca> ciao pavl puoi aiutarmi? ho un problema con la chat di yahoo (lycos) perché non esegue lo scrolling, pensavo di risolvere cambiando browser ma niente, forse problemi con il javascript?
[01:37] <mrpockets> command to format /dev/sda1 for FAT filesystem?
[01:37] <xzcvczx> Gnea: errr... really?
[01:37] <Gnea> scabflakes: but in a quasi-sorta way...
[01:37] <Gnea> xzcvczx: it's pretty dang important to system stability ;)
[01:37] <scabflakes> Yeah.  Well var is in the home directory as just /var
[01:38] <bazhang> !it | luca
[01:38] <sun01tech> how can i share folder on lan between ubuntu and xp?
[01:38] <Gnea> scabflakes: okay - if you do the df -Th thing again, do you see /var show up along with / ?
[01:38] <xzcvczx> scabflakes: / is really the root dir not home dir
[01:38] <Gnea> !samba | sun01tech
[01:38] <sun01tech> Gnea: thanks
[01:38] <scabflakes> Oh ok.
[01:39] <scabflakes> Do I type df-th in the terminaL?
[01:39] <Gnea> scabflakes: and a homedir is signified by the ~ character, which is a shortcut to your real ${HOME} directory (usually /home/user)
[01:39] <Gnea> yes.
[01:39] <scabflakes> ok
[01:39] <xzcvczx> scabflakes: linux is case sensitive and you need a space between df and -Th df being the command -Th being the arg
[01:39] <Gnea> sun01tech: make sure you install swat and samba-doc
[01:40] <scabflakes> Yes it's /var
[01:40] <Gnea> scabflakes: it should tell you how much Avail space is left
[01:40] <UncleTimmy> Does anyone know of problems with dvd burners not being compatible with Ubuntu?
[01:40] <joejoecircusboy> IndyGunFreak: Does the video play for you?
[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> joejoecircusboy: of course, its just youtube
[01:41] <scabflakes> 5.6Gb total
[01:41] <scabflakes> Around a GB for var
[01:41] <xzcvczx> UncleTimmy: cant say i have ever found a dvdburner which is not compatible with linux
[01:41] <scabflakes> Should I just delete some stuff?
[01:41] <XeiaieX> hi
[01:41] <Gnea> UncleTimmy: no, but i've seen broken burners not burn, and a CD shatter inside of one.
[01:41] <xzcvczx> UncleTimmy: never tried externals
[01:41] <joejoecircusboy> IndyGunFreak: oh
[01:41] <scabflakes> I don't know why I'd need more just to burn a 700MB CD
[01:41] <xzcvczx> Gnea: lol cds shattering is fun
[01:42] <XeiaieX> anyone here know how to set up broadcomm wireless with fwcutter on Zenwalk?
[01:42] <joejoecircusboy> IndyGunFreak: Well, other youtube works, but that one doesn't
[01:42] <xzcvczx> scabflakes: are you trying to burn an iso?
[01:42] <freakazoid> does anyone know how i would go about coding a script that would disconnect my internet if my ping went over 1k, and reconnect, and keep doing this ?\
[01:42] <Gnea> xzcvczx: yeah, gotta love those hairline fractures in the middle of the disk
[01:42] <scabflakes> No, audio CD.
[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> joejoecircusboy: welll that is very strange, works fine for me
[01:42] <joejoecircusboy> IndyGunFreak: Oh, I restarted Firefox... it works now... weird
[01:42] <XeiaieX> anyone here know how to set up broadcomm wireless with fwcutter on Zenwalk?
[01:42] <Gnea> !broadcom | XeiaieX
[01:43] <joejoecircusboy> freakazoid: I guess you're asking how to write a script?
[01:43] <Gnea> !patience | XeiaieX
[01:43] <bazhang> XeiaieX, zenwalk? this is ubuntu channel
[01:43] <UncleTimmy> xzcvczx: Well, I just bought a dvd burner and it is in the BIOS as "CD/DVD Media" or something like that.. but ubuntu doesn't recognize the drive
[01:43] <XeiaieX> my attitude? i just asked a question, whats your problem
[01:43] <XeiaieX> yes i realize this is an Ubuntu channel... so what? maybe someone here has used Zenwalk too.....
[01:43] <XeiaieX> sigh
[01:43] <bazhang> XeiaieX, zenwalk has their own channel
[01:43] <xzcvczx> XeiaieX: you asked it twice within one screen
[01:43] <XeiaieX> i know they do
[01:44] <Gnea> UncleTimmy: can you paste the output of /var/log/dmesg to pastebin please?
[01:44] <Gnea> XeiaieX: calm down...
[01:44] <XeiaieX> no one answered and it got lost, so i asked agai
[01:44] <bazhang> XeiaieX, so it is offtopic here.
[01:44] <XeiaieX> hmm
[01:45] <Gnea> XeiaieX: have you tried #zenwalk?
[01:45] <joejoecircusboy> What's zenwalk?
[01:45] <XeiaieX> Gnea: ya i did, but no one seemed to be "alive" in there...
[01:45] <Gnea> joejoecircusboy: another linux distro
[01:45] <XeiaieX> Zenwalk is another distro like Ubuntu
[01:45] <bazhang> based on slackware
[01:45] <xzcvczx> XeiaieX: how long did you wait for an answer?
[01:46] <XeiaieX> 5 mins or so, then reconnected, then waited again..
[01:46] <Gnea> XeiaieX: well, just like here, the people are volunteers - perhaps there's a web-based forum?
[01:46] <jramsey> ok so i upgraded to heron, and had to fool with my monitor resolution; it was fine; now i turn it on and it's back to 640/480 and the screen is so big monitor resolution settings won't even fit! best way to change to say 1152/768?
[01:46] <XeiaieX> ya i checked the forum too... not much on it about the bcm43xx tho
[01:46] <Gnea> XeiaieX: sometimes you need to wait for over an hour
[01:46] <XeiaieX> oh wow
[01:46] <Gnea> i'm not kidding.
[01:47] <UncleTimmy> Gnea:  http://pastebin.com/d509e721a
[01:47] <Gnea> it's the middle of the week, there's a bloody war going on, everyone's stressed out, and many of us are trying to relax after work or are at work
[01:47] <bazhang> XeiaieX, come to #ubuntu-offtopic for a link
[01:47] <XeiaieX> Gnea, no need to keep harping... bazhang: ok
[01:47] <joejoecircusboy> Gnea: What war?
[01:48] <Gnea> XeiaieX: not harping, just sayin' :)
[01:48] <XeiaieX> :)
[01:48] <UncleTimmy> It might be hardware, cause the tray closes automatically when you open it.  Doesnt recognize cd's/dvd's
[01:48] <zozobra> quit
[01:48] <Gnea> joejoecircusboy: #ubuntu-offtopic

[01:59] <Uplink> ty Gnea
[01:59] <xzcvczx> do people just find the biggest channel they can these days and ask whatever question they have?
[01:59] <Gnea> xzcvczx: sometimes
[01:59] <bazhang> xzcvczx, not here
[02:01] <Gnea> UncleTimmy: okay...
[02:02] <balazs> hi.
[02:02] <Gnea> UncleTimmy: is that a SATA cdrom?
[02:02] <Gnea> UncleTimmy: because it looks like you've got a bad cable
[02:03] <balazs> anyone else having problem setting up multiple keyboard layouts ? I could do it in 7.4 but it does not seem to work in gutsy
[02:04] <Zeroyez> is there any free http proxy software i can get on ubuntu?
[02:04] <zombieball> tor?
[02:04] <BlueLaguna> Xubuntu should use Pulse sound server by default, right?
[02:04] <commie_cary> I need help
[02:05] <simplechat> Zeroyez, tor
[02:05] <zombieball> !tor | Zeroyez

[02:05] <commie_cary> however
[02:05] <commie_cary> it wont let me
[02:05] <joejoecircusboy> Zeroyez: There are probably 20+ http proxies available in the Ubuntu repositories
[02:05] <xzcvczx> commie_cary: you must do it from terminal as root
[02:06] <MXIIA> is there a way to restore the panels to the default settings?

[02:08] <misterecs81> I seem to have lost the sound functionality in Ubuntu, but NOT in the WinXP Virtual machine I'm running . . . any ideas?
[02:08] <UncleTimmy> Gnea: yes, sata.. do you mean a badpower cable?  i'm using a 4-pin molex to sata power adapter. might that have soemthing to do with it?
[02:08] <Gnea> UncleTimmy: no, the SATA connector, not the power connector
[02:08] <Reformer81> I'm trying to use recordmydesktop to make a short video of the Update Manager..  However, my system is already completely up to date.  How would I go about reverting to an older version of something (anything) in order to re-update it?

[02:12] <Kernel> what are the big differences between normal ubuntu and the ubuntu server edition?. im considering installing the ubuntu server edition onto my home server.
[02:12] <freeksh0w86> i'm having the most awful time with an ndiswrapped card. is there a tutorial on how to go into a computer store and DEMAND an Atheros wireless card and threaten to sue if they sell me one that isn't?
[02:13] <regeya> heh freeksh0w86
[02:13] <Kernel> freeksh0w86: google and buy offline...i recomend newegg.

[02:13] <pajamian> Hi everyone.  I'm having problems printing to my Brother DCP-540CN.  When I try to print it sits in the print queue on "Processing" indefinately.  Can anyone help me find the problem?
[02:13] <cxo> There was some dude asking me for help, he needs to run wine StarCraft.exe as root, so it can make a socket connection and let him play online, he was using ubuntu and it wouldnt let him get a X window when "su -"'d as root, kept complaining about DISPLAY, but we set it to :0.0
[02:13] <regeya> I bought a belkin usb wireless thingy because I could get an old one working with the rt73 driver, but the new ones, despite the box and the product looking identical, are a different, and closed, chipset.
[02:14] <regeya> and I mean, my old one works PERFECT.
[02:14] <joejoecircusboy> misterecs81: check for /dev/shm
[02:14] <cheater-conrad> :D
[02:14] <cheater-conrad> this is awesome
[02:14] <mrpockets> !ubuntu USB
[02:14] <regeya> !usb
[02:14] <cheater-conrad> i quit gentoo today
[02:14] <mrpockets> !ubuntu to USB
[02:14] <qr> cxo: jsut a thought, try su without the -, the - resets the environment iirc.
[02:14] <mrpockets> thanks homes
[02:15] <Kernel> !server
[02:15] <cheater-conrad> i've been on it for ~5 years, on and off mostly on
[02:15] <misterecs81> [JOEJOECIRCUSBOY] ==> Where / How do I check for /dev/shm? As in, see if the directory exists?
[02:15] <xzcvczx> cheater-conrad: i still use gentoo on decent machine... well on my server anyway
[02:15] <regeya> the server edition is awesome Kernel.  unfortunately the only machine I can use it on is an old ppc at work, and ppc is no longer supported :-(  I ended up using debian etch on that hunkajunk
[02:15] <joejoecircusboy> misterecs81: yes
[02:16] <cheater-conrad> xzcvczx: i've been around forever, and i settled on gentoo back when it was good and portage was awesome, like 5 years ago or more
[02:16] <pajamian> regeya: you get that with a lot of hardware, they look the same on the outside, but they are completely different inside.
[02:16] <candive> Hi all, how do I format my flashdrive?? Please.
[02:16] <freeksh0w86> Is there anything I can do to make ndiswrapped drivers less intolerable?  I never had these problems with my Atheros-based D-Link.
[02:16] <joejoecircusboy> misterecs81: Unless you're running Linux from 1995, you have POSIX Shared memory support :)
[02:16] <cheater-conrad> but i've used many other distributions to, but gentoo was always my main os
[02:16] <regeya> pajamian: yeah, and no hints on the packaging.
[02:16] <misterecs81> [JOEJOECIRCUSBOY] ==> The directory is there with a Pulse-shm file in it. Am I good?
[02:16] <Kernel> regeya: hmm. im currently using freebsd on my home server and freebsd is rocking for a server...stable as hell and *very* secure.

[02:16] <LulaMolusco> Hello, Every one... I've recently buy a new 64-bit computer with no OS.. I used a old ubuntu liveCD I had here, but it's 32-bit. I can upgrade from 7.10 32-bit to 8.04 64-bit directly?
[02:16] <cheater-conrad> but i got sick of it because portage isn't good or unique anymore, and gentoo doesnt have any benefits i see
[02:16] <Kernel> is there big differences in normal ubuntu and the server?
[02:17] <misterecs81> [JOEJOECIRCUSBOY] ==> Sweet, Thanks!
[02:17] <Gnea> !usb | mrpockets
[02:17] <joejoecircusboy> LulaMolusco: no, you'll have to reinstall
[02:17] <joejoecircusboy> misterecs81: np
[02:17] <freeksh0w86> Can't someone clean-room reverse engineer a Marvell wireless driver now that FCC deemed FLOSS wireless drivers legal now?
[02:17] <amenado> LulaMolusco-> as you may find out, there are not many advantages with 64bits
[02:17] <cheater-conrad> amenado: well, it depends
[02:18] <LulaMolusco> thank you <joejoecircusboy>
[02:18] <cheater-conrad> like, 64-bit debian > i386 debian will be a difference
[02:18] <joejoecircusboy> LulaMolusco: np
[02:18] <cheater-conrad> because 64-bit has so many more optimizations than old i386
[02:18] <amenado> cheater-conrad-> that is not many, thats is few :P
[02:18] <LulaMolusco> AMENADO, why do you say that? There are major problems with the 64-bit version?
[02:18] <gleyve> What's a good torrent software for Linux Ubuntu?
[02:18] <bazhang> cheater-conrad, not much in fact
[02:18] <cheater-conrad> ?
[02:18] <cheater-conrad> over i386?
[02:18] <bazhang> !torrent | gleyve
[02:18] <cheater-conrad> you have all the i686 optimizations and more
[02:18]  * freeksh0w86 loves 64-bit Ubuntu and knows how to configure Flash.
[02:19] <candive> Gnea, mrpockets / Thank you.
[02:19] <amenado> LulaMolusco-> lots of apps are not writtent to take advantage of 64bit..mostly 32bits still
[02:19] <bazhang> cheater-conrad, just use the generic kernel
[02:19] <crazy_bus> I plugged in a logitech clearchat headset and got the mic working.  However sound only comes out of one ear. I've checked that the volume control is set correctly.  Is there anything I can do?
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> gleyve: default install has transmission, which is pretty good if you ask me
[02:19]  * joejoecircusboy loves 64bit too
[02:19] <amenado> LulaMolusco-> but if you insist, go ahead,
[02:19] <pajamian> freeksh0w86: there are people that are good at that and they have helped to create many of the drivers that Linux uses today (broadcomm drivers come to mind).  But that said, you may be stuck with using ndiswrapper for a while longer.
[02:19]  * IndyGunFreak bashed 64bits into 32bits
[02:19] <gleyve> IndyGunFreak: thank you
[02:20] <Reformer81> How would I go about reverting to an older version of an application so that the Update Manager tries to update it again?
[02:20] <LulaMolusco> amenado -> hmmm, I see.. I'll think about for now. Probably I won't reinstall it
[02:20] <zelrikriando> Reformer81, why no reinstalling?
[02:20] <LulaMolusco> amenado -> Thank you so much for the advice
[02:21] <zelrikriando> not*
[02:21] <amenado> LulaMolusco-> but soon, 64bit apps version would be available..
[02:22] <Reformer81> zelrikriando: I want Update Manager to do it (I'm making a recording of how Update Manager works, but my system is 100% up to date )
[02:23] <pajamian> Reformer81: Just wait a couple days, then
[02:23] <ari_stress> morning guys :)
[02:23] <tanner> is there any way to convert a XFS drive to something else? without destroying the data
[02:24] <LulaMolusco> amenado -> Then later I shall reinstall it, but now, this little beauty has some heavy work to complete ;)
[02:24] <PhQu> just copy everything off of the XFS drive and than reformat it, than copy everything back?
[02:24] <LulaMolusco> amenado -> Thank you for so much attention
[02:24] <tanner> PhQu: thats basically waht im doing, but 500gb takes a while to copy
[02:24] <amenado> LulaMolusco-> i wish you da best

[02:26] <Atomic_UE> is there way to communicate with trackerd via command line? like a text based client or command or something?

[02:28] <Tom_nuggin> someone help
[02:28] <Tom_nuggin> "(myUserName) is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported."
[02:28] <siefny> hi all
[02:28] <Tom_nuggin> I added myself to a new group,I modded the persmissinos file for usb write access,
[02:28] <Tom_nuggin> now I can't gedit anytjing
[02:28] <Tom_nuggin> anything :(
[02:28] <siefny> sombody can help?? i have problem on grub..:/
[02:28] <pajamian> Tom_nuggin: you probably removed yourself from the wheel group by accident
[02:29] <Tom_nuggin> how do I add myself back
[02:29] <nickrud> pajamian admin group in ubuntu
[02:29] <Tom_nuggin> ?
[02:29] <pajamian> nickrud: oops, ok, admin group
[02:29] <PhQu> siefny: what is the problem?
[02:29] <nickrud> Tom_nuggin type groups  in a terminal, what does it return?
[02:29] <Tom_nuggin> timmy usbusers
[02:29] <Tom_nuggin> Lol
[02:29] <Tom_nuggin> yeap that's the turd that's got me in the mess
[02:29] <Tom_nuggin> no other groups
[02:30] <amenado> pajamian-> wheel group is not on ubuntu, perhaps on bsd like systems
[02:30] <nickrud> Tom_nuggin yep, lost a bunch of groups.  boot into recovery mode, go to the command line, and run   adduser timmy admin
[02:30] <pajamian> Tom_nuggin: you need to boot to a live CD, mount your hdd partition and modify the /etc/group file to add yourself back to the admin group
[02:30] <Tom_nuggin> uh
[02:30] <pajamian> amenado: it's on some linux systems, in ubuntu it's admin.
[02:30] <Tom_nuggin> I'll do nickrud's way
[02:30] <nickrud> or use pajamian's method, but mine is much easier :)
[02:31] <Tom_nuggin> :)
[02:31] <Tom_nuggin> ty
[02:31] <pajamian> Tom_nuggin: yeah, nickrud's way is easier.
[02:31] <siefny> im instal ubuntu 7.10 on alternate cd....and instal complete but on restart i see "disk boot faturite....' and im agin boot cd and select "boot 1st sector disk"
[02:31] <nickrud> Tom_nuggin then, once you've got that done, add the following: adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin
[02:31] <hipitihop> I need to get a linux device connected via usbnet on my hardy laptop to see the outside world i.e. ping router  and beyond, can someone please help ?
[02:31] <siefny> grub run...and Erorr 10 :/
[02:31] <amenado> pajamian-> yes, but not many knows wheel is the root..only old foggies like us :P
[02:31] <zelrikriando> hi nickrud
[02:31] <nickrud> zelrikriando hi
[02:32] <Tom_nuggin> huh
[02:32] <nickrud> amenado wasn't wheel for su privs, and also never used in debian/based ?
[02:32] <Tom_nuggin> nickrud where?
[02:32] <pajamian> amenado: hehehe, I use wheel on the centos boxes I admin for root sudo.  I never actually checked what it was in ubuntu because I never had to mess with it.
[02:32] <amenado> nickrud i believed it is
[02:32] <nickrud> Tom_nuggin the easiest way is to use groupadd, but I suggest just   adduser timmy <group> , repeat until done. Prevents the error
[02:33] <pajamian> nickrud: yeah, I don't know for debian-based, I use wheel in centos which is RH based.
[02:33] <Tom_nuggin> hmm do you know if there's a generic group for wireless
[02:33] <Tom_nuggin> too
[02:33]  * nickrud never got real good in rh based stuff, just did debian
[02:33] <Tom_nuggin> and usb
[02:34] <nickrud> Tom_nuggin those are the groups I'm in, and have access to everything
[02:34] <pajamian> Tom_nuggin: possibly, but once you get yourself in the admin group you can boot back into the regular install and fix the others from there.
[02:34] <Tom_nuggin> okay thanks nickrud, and pajamian for chirping in
[02:34] <luigi> someone could help me with vsftpd? yesterday worked, and now not more... i think the .conf file are damaged..
[02:34] <Tom_nuggin> :))))
[02:34] <pajamian> nickrud: yeah, I started with RH, and still like it for servers, but I think ubuntu is the best for workstations.
[02:35] <nickrud> pajamian I did suse, redhat then mandrake. Then wanted debian but brainlocked at the command line after the install :) Did lfs for about a half year with mandrake gui for fallback till I could do debian
[02:36] <luigi> no one that know vsftpd?
[02:36] <gisli> hello
[02:36] <pajamian> nickrud: heh, yeah, debian-based is different, but I didn't think that different.  I've done some admin on a debian server in the past, but not lately.
[02:36] <Atomic_UE> nickrud, there doesn't seem to be anything of use...I'm looking for something the same as the search tool but for command line
[02:36] <luigi> just for control my .conf file...
[02:37] <gisli> where are everyone
[02:37] <Johnny> can someone help me with a wireless problem, i took this card out of my other laptop which it worked fine with and i could go anywhere in my house but with this laptop im stuck in this room what do i do to fix it?
[02:37] <pajamian> nickrud: but, to be honest, it was ubuntu that got me started using sudo, so now I use it on the RH based systems too.
[02:37] <Meesis_Meeso> gisli: in your internetz bllocking ur connectionz
[02:37] <nickrud> Atomic_UE tracker-query looks like the right command, but I don't know the format for the query-file.rdf
[02:37] <nbcthreat> Johnny: are you sure it's using the same card?
[02:37] <nbcthreat> Lots of laptops have cards built in.
[02:37] <Johnny> yes
[02:37] <Johnny> theres no other card
[02:37] <nbcthreat> OK.
[02:38] <nbcthreat> Same antenna?
[02:38] <Meesis_Meeso> gisli: all your connectionz are belong to us.
[02:38] <Johnny> there is no antenna
[02:38] <Johnny> its an internal card
[02:38] <nbcthreat> PCMCIA-type?
[02:38] <nbcthreat> Sticks out the side?
[02:38] <luigi> someone that control this vsftpd .conf file? http://paste.ubuntu.com/36864/
[02:38] <Atomic_UE> nickrud, mmm I don't have that command available...I'll look it up
[02:38]  * siefny need help with grub (erorr 10) pls priv him ;P
[02:38] <Johnny> eth1            Centrino b      ipw2100
[02:38] <gisli> wtf
[02:38] <nbcthreat> same as it was before
[02:38] <Meesis_Meeso> ?
[02:38] <Johnny> yes
[02:39] <nbcthreat> so it sticks out the side.
[02:39] <Johnny> NO
[02:39] <Johnny> INTERNAL
[02:39] <pajamian> ok ... asking my printing question again ...
[02:39] <pajamian> Hi everyone.  I'm having problems printing to my Brother DCP-540CN.  When I try to print it sits in the print queue on "Processing" indefinately.  Can anyone help me find the problem?
[02:39] <Bruno_F> i can't hear sound in the .swf's. any ideas why i can't? i'm using flashplugin non-free
[02:39] <nbcthreat> Mini-pci, then.
[02:39] <Wh00mp> i am trying to make a headless ubuntu server out of by laptop which lcd broke, i have everything working i think but there are two wires still sticking out of my laptop a grey and black wire, can i cut those? what will happen , what are they for? thanks in advance
[02:39] <nbcthreat> OK.
[02:39] <vilhelm> Hello ! I have a problem when i log out the screen where i should enter my user name and password is 2 much to the right so i cant see what i'm typing
[02:39] <gisli> do enion know where i find an patch for ubuntu 8.04 to get ab 8.10
[02:39] <Wh00mp> the wires have to do with the lcd
[02:40] <nbcthreat> What's likely going on is that the mini-pci cards depend on an antenna built in to the laptop by the manufacturer. There's likely no antenna on the laptop you move it to.
[02:40] <bazhang> gisli, #ubuntu+1
[02:40] <Swian> anyone ever tried LinuxTiger?
[02:40] <nbcthreat> Hence the greatly reduced range.
[02:40] <nickrud> Wh00mp I think I'd find a hardware forum for your laptop ;)
[02:40] <pajamian> and ... more info ... I can print to a file, and am trying to figure out how to use the lpr command to send the file to the printer now.  Just to see if it works.
[02:40] <bazhang> Swian, what is that
[02:40] <Wh00mp> nickrud - thnaks
[02:40] <gisli> i did try linux tiger that crap sticknse
[02:40] <Swian> its a version of linux that tries to be like OS X in interface
[02:40] <Gnea> !language | gisli
[02:40] <Swian> installing it in virtual box
[02:41] <Atomic_UE> nickrud, tracker-utils package has that command as well as tracker-search which is command line search. Should do what I need. Thanks for your help
[02:41] <Swian> I think its based on ubuntu
[02:41] <Swian> won't fit on a CD though, you'd need a cd
[02:41] <Swian> DVD rather
[02:41] <bazhang> max that nick is taken
[02:41] <DozedOnLinux> looking for either, command-line, or gui for listing/displaying what dependencies are being used by what modules. basically looking to find if certain dependencies, are no longer needed. essentially, to ensure a blacklisted item is not affecting other modules.
[02:41] <nickrud> Atomic_UE it probably would have done me good to look at the entire output of ls :)
[02:42] <vilhelm> Hello ! I have a problem when i log out the screen where i should enter my user name and password is 2 much to the right so i cant see what i'm typing
[02:42] <gisli> has anyone trid the knew linux
[02:42] <Swian> gisli, what new linux
[02:42] <pajamian> vilhelm: adjust your monitor settings
[02:42] <bazhang> gisli, that is in #ubuntu+1 not here
[02:42] <luigi> no one can help me with VSFTPD ?
[02:43] <mjs7231> I know this is the wrong channel but I have a basic Python question, anyone know Python here?
[02:43] <Nutt718> !vls
[02:43] <wols_> mjs7231: #python
[02:43] <vilhelm> but what should i adjust cuz when i'm in everything is fine
[02:43] <Nutt718> !vsl
[02:43] <mjs7231> wols_, it says I need an ident to join that channel.. :-/
[02:43] <ssastre> hi there, is there a way to make a grep -P in debian?
[02:43] <nickrud> luigi people that use it do come through regularly, just ask every 15min or so
[02:43] <gisli> ok but how can i play any games in ubuntu
[02:43] <wols_> !register > mjs7231
[02:43] <pajamian> vilhelm: it's probably using a different video mode and your monitor needs to be adjusted for that video mode.
[02:43] <ssastre> with other command or something equivalent?
[02:43] <wols_> mjs7231: we still won#t answer python questions. use the appropriate channel
[02:44] <bazhang> !wine | gisli
[02:44] <Swian> gisli you can run some under wine
[02:44] <luigi> nickrud thaks a lot
[02:44] <nbcthreat> Anyone here have any experience installing Ubuntu via USB?
[02:44] <mjs7231> Thanks guys.. :)
[02:44] <mjs7231> I know how to make an ident now
[02:44] <vilhelm> ok but how can i change that pajamian?
[02:44] <bazhang> !usb | nbcthreat
[02:45] <pajamian> vilhelm: log out, then use the buttons on your monitor (it is different for each monitor).
[02:45] <gisli> is ubuntu 8.10 out
[02:45] <joejoecircusboy> gisli: Not until 8.10
[02:45] <nbcthreat> Thanks. I've tried all the available USB methods, but everything hangs at initramfs during boot on my Thinkpad X40.
[02:45] <Nutt718> Has anyone tried VLC Media Player?
[02:45] <nbcthreat> Any chance it's the hardware?
[02:45] <vilhelm> pajamian ok but i have a really old monitor so i cant get into any menus
[02:45] <wols_> !anyone > Nutt718
[02:45] <nbcthreat> VLC is great.
[02:46] <pajamian> vilhelm: it's possible that the monitor is not compatible with the video mode displayed by the login screen as well, but try adjusting it first.
[02:46] <DG19075> agres wityh nbcthreat
[02:46] <joejoecircusboy> wols_: Why don't you write a script for that?
[02:46] <DozedOnLinux> Nutt718:  VLC works very nice, i use it all the time
[02:47] <pajamian> vilhelm: and as for the monitor not working properly, I can't help you if your monitor is broken.
[02:47] <arthur_> vlc rocks...
[02:47] <DG19075> I've used VLC with Windows at work to play m4a spot comtent. Really helpful
[02:47] <Nutt718> DozedOnLinux, DG19075, thanks
[02:47] <arthur_> mplayer is cool too
[02:47] <vilhelm> pajamian my monitor is not broken when it works fine inside but @ the login the box is just in the right down corner
[02:48] <vilhelm> it was fine before i installed my geforce drivers
[02:48] <vilhelm> and i had same problem in Ubuntu
[02:48] <axisys> how to install gizmo project ?
[02:48] <arthur_> what monotor?
[02:48] <axisys> is there a deb pkg ?
[02:48] <Flacker> what output are you supposed to get when you do the command modprobe ndiswrapper?
[02:48] <pajamian> vilhelm: try changing the video mode for the login screen, then (not sure how, let me see if I can find it)...
[02:49] <vilhelm> ok thx alot
[02:49] <nbcthreat> axisys: there's a deb on the gizmo website
[02:49] <pajamian> vilhelm: it's probably a setting in your xorg.conf file somewhere, I'm not sure what the setting is.
[02:50] <axisys> nbcthreat: http://gizmo5.com/pc/download/linux/ it only talks about dapper
[02:50] <pajamian> vilhelm: but you should be able to change the video mode to one that actually works with your monitor.
[02:50] <nickrud> Flacker if the module got inserted into the kernel properly, you'll see no output
[02:50] <Flacker> ok
[02:50] <DozedOnLinux> vilhelm: thats a resolution issue. you can probably just edit the ("Virtual Display" section of xorg.conf ),resolution to fix it.
[02:50] <mjs7231> OK, color me stupid.. but I registered my nickname and it still says "#python :You need to be identified to join that channel" when I try to join.. :(
[02:51] <Flacker> my wireless however is still not working and  the driver was correctly installed
[02:51] <k4r1m> could anybody help? i cant seem to get some of the audio working while playing back mkv files...
[02:51] <cheater-conrad> what package is "sh" in
[02:51] <cheater-conrad> the command

[03:08] <Pelo> Flacker, you are aware that you need to setup your wifi's window driver in ndiswrapper right ?
[03:08] <Pelo> fauzie, do you want to use both or just the one ?
[03:08] <Flacker> yeah I did that too Pelo and it still doesnt work sorry for not clarifying
[03:08] <fauzie> Just the Audigy
[03:09] <Pelo> fauzie, check in your bios settings,  do disable the onboard card
[03:09] <Pelo> Flacker, check in the forum and on this link,  see if they have any specifics about your card ,  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:09] <fauzie> so .. restart and press F8??
[03:10] <Pelo> fauzie, usualy del on most computer , but it might be f8 on yours, you often get a message  "press ??? for setup" in the first screen when you boot
[03:10] <Pelo> fauzie, better check your manual
[03:10] <lunch> .close
[03:11] <fauzie> ok ... trying
[03:11] <fauzie> manual gone a long time ago :D
[03:12] <Pelo> fauzie, just read the screen when you boot,  it migth go by quickly
[03:13] <Flacker> and another thing Pelo the wireless function in the wireless app thing seems to have disapeared
[03:13] <arthur_> usually del or f2 or f10 hold one down at a time while booting....
[03:13] <Pelo> Flacker, I'm no good with wifi , but it might just be a change in the app , if you just upgraded
[03:14] <Flacker> I didnt
[03:14] <Flacker> which is weird
[03:14] <compaq_> is there a way to setup for a second monitor

[03:24] <fauzie> ... well... no ... It was Del
[03:24] <fauzie> :D
[03:24] <Pelo> ;-)
[03:25] <Legendario> thanks pajamian, i guess thats exactly what i was wondering!  ;-)
[03:26] <fauzie> I haven't use Linux for 4 years (had to use WIndows because I went home and live with parents)
[03:26] <pajamian> Legendario: yw
[03:26] <fauzie> so many things had changed ...
[03:26] <pajamian> fauzie: wow, oppresive parents.

[03:28] <dmsuperman> So I try to reinstall libgtk2.0-0 (because I installed a custom one for the global menu, and didn't like it). However, "sudo apt-get install --reinstall -y libgtk2.0-0" responds that it can't be installed because it couldn't be downloaded
[03:29] <dmsuperman> Any ideas why that might be and how to force it to download it?
[03:29] <Pelo> Flynsarmy, /var/apt/cahe or something similar
[03:29] <DozedOnLinux> /var/cache/apt/archives
[03:29] <Pelo> dmsuperman, might just be something with the server , change the server and see
[03:30] <Flynsarmy> pajamian, To make space am i able to just sudo rm * in that directory?
[03:30] <dmsuperman> Pelo: how do I do that from the command line?
[03:30] <pajamian> Flynsarmy: to make space just: sudo apt-get clean
[03:31] <Flynsarmy> pajamian, Thanks
[03:31] <pajamian> Flynsarmy: yw
[03:32] <dmsuperman> Does anybody know how I can change which server apt-get is using from the command line?
[03:32] <candive> Hi all, My flash-drive is "un-mountable. How do I format my USB. Please.
[03:33] <dmsuperman> candive: parted or gparted will let you
[03:33] <dmsuperman> candive: gparted being the GUI one
[03:33] <cellofellow> candive: try sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sd[a-z]1
[03:33] <pajamian> dmsuperman: you need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file
[03:33] <cellofellow> candive: but only if you *really* want to format.
[03:34] <dmsuperman> pajamian: I'm trying to get libgtk2.0-0 to reinstall...which entry would I need to change and to what value?
[03:34] <kindofabuzz> is a swap file auto created if one is not specified?  i reinstalled the other day without setting a swap partition because i usually set a swap file insted once installed.  but I just remembered I never made that swap file.  but according to system monitor i have a 1.3G swap but never created one
[03:34] <pajamian> !info libgtk2.0
[03:34] <candive> dmsuperman, cellofellow thanksThanks I will try again
[03:34] <candive> will try
[03:34] <Pelo> later folks
[03:35] <pajamian> bah the bot disappeared.
[03:36] <summatusmentis> I'm working on installing Ubuntu to a Motion Computing LE1600, and I've installed it via VMWare to a partition, but I can't figure out how to get GRUB installed
[03:36] <Flynsarmy> How good is gparted at resizing partitions without losing data?
[03:37] <summatusmentis> since it's a Tablet PC, there's no way to boot from CD, and it can't boot from USB
[03:37] <pajamian> Flynsarmy: I've never seen a problem with it, but I highly recommend that you back up first.
[03:39] <FAJALOU> hi my boot time is running a little slow and there is a program that i think is bogging it down; how can i try turning it off?
[03:39] <candive> cellofellow, terminal says its mounted but re insert nothing computer file brows shows but unable to mount??
[03:41] <scorch__> has anyone upgrade to 8.10 yet?
[03:41] <scorch__> *ed
[03:42] <blizzardman1219> does anyone here have experience with the wpa_gui?
[03:42] <FAJALOU> scorch__:  try #ubuntu+1
[03:42] <scorch__> ok thanks
[03:45] <Ashfire908> is webmin in the ubuntu repos?
[03:45] <FAJALOU> is it possible for my computer, at boot, to run scripts simutaneously?
[03:45] <crdlb> !webmin | Ashfire908
[03:45] <crdlb> bah
[03:45] <crdlb> Ashfire908: no, but I think there's some sort of replacement
[03:46] <kindofabuzz> oh i figured out why i have a swap even though i didn't make one.  i have a swap partition on another hard drive from another distro.  i guess ubuntu auto uses it
[03:46] <Ashfire908> crdlb, yeah, I thought so.
[03:46] <scorch__> kindo: yeah it will detect and us it

[03:47] <isaacj87> what does one do when they're trying to install packages that have unmet deps? (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5578095&postcount=27)
[03:47] <kindofabuzz> can i safely unmount a swap and create one where i want it?
[03:47] <debCarlos> What soft do you recommend to me for doing backups ?
[03:47] <DozedOnLinux> kindofabuzz:  how much physical memory do you have ?
[03:47] <debCarlos> !backup
[03:47] <kindofabuzz> DozedOnLinux: 768
[03:48] <DozedOnLinux> kindofabuzz: in terminal this reports ? > sudo cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
[03:48] <lWizardl> hi
[03:48] <candive>  dmsuperman, cellofellow, gparted worked. it stumbled but it worked.
[03:48] <lWizardl> how do i fix the GDM themes from gnome-look to install on Ubuntu?
[03:48] <kindofabuzz> DozedOnLinux: reason i'm asking because i prefer a swap file and i plan to format the other distro anyways which has the swap partition
[03:49] <cellofellow> candive: gparted uses mkfs anyway, so it'd been quicker with the CLI.
[03:49] <crdlb> Ashfire908: found it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox
[03:50] <debCarlos> Hey
[03:50] <candive> cellofellow the terminal command did not work? But gparted did the job thank you.
[03:50] <Ashfire908> crdlb, thanks.
[03:50] <debCarlos> What happened to ubottu
[03:50] <debCarlos> ??
[03:50] <DozedOnLinux> kindofabuzz: well there is a way to stop using it, maybe it would work if you disable swap, then remove swap drive. not sure though
[03:51] <DozedOnLinux> kindofabuzz: that would probably entail you to remove that distro right after doing so
[03:51] <kindofabuzz> DozedOnLinux: yeah i know how, just wondering if things will go weird by disabling it for a little bit until the swap file is set up
[03:51] <DozedOnLinux> kindofabuzz: this is temporary for current session. there is a way to keep it, but i have since lost them notes> sudo sysctl -w vm.swappiness=0
[03:51] <candive> chow
[03:52] <kindofabuzz> DozedOnLinux: ok thanks
[03:52] <blizzardman1219> does anyone here have experience with the wpa_gui?
[03:52] <DozedOnLinux> kindofabuzz:  just trying to throw some ideas in the pot
[03:52] <arthur_> how do i tell how big the vdrive is in vbox? from linux side...linux is the host
[03:53] <theBrettman> can I look through the filesystem with grub?
[03:53] <theBrettman> I wanna see if certain dir are there...
[03:53] <DozedOnLinux> kindofabuzz:  after restart, it will go back to default , this shows current >sudo cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

[03:58] <ak-49> Any takers?
[03:58] <dabb1>  which uses less resource memory mozilla or opera
[03:59] <theBrettman> can I look through the filesystem with grub?
[03:59] <ak-49> I know the problem is in the post-install script
[03:59] <theBrettman> I wanna see if certain dir are there...
[03:59] <theBrettman> cause I'm getting error 15
[03:59] <dark_j> how do you setup a usb printer in a non-gui on ubuntu-server?
[03:59] <ak-49> is there another way I can try to remove a package and reinstall it?
[03:59] <joejoecircusboy> error 15? Jesus, that's not good!
[03:59] <theBrettman> u use reinstall instead of install

[04:00] <DozedOnLinux> kindofabuzz: well, i use it as a temporary deal, as i dont know what will happen if i boot into that type of situation
[04:00] <fallore> i was installing from guty to HH and i got the "generating locales..." error. i booted into failsafe gnome and downloaded the packages manually, killing the locale process as it came up. it finished, and i'm not sure what i should do now. reboot?
[04:00] <theBrettman> so is there a way to look through the file system to find a / ?
[04:00] <theBrettman> (in grub)
[04:00] <jrib> debCarlos: right click -> create archive
[04:01] <DozedOnLinux> kindofabuzz: but i will look into it, as this current install will be toast, and installed on another machine with much better speed
[04:01] <theBrettman> cause I put vmlinuz and initrd.gz in /install/
[04:01] <debCarlos> jrib: From terminal...

[04:06] <Cdilling> thanks kindo
[04:07] <DozedOnLinux> zz:  i thought you said startx doesnt work for you ... or ... is it a game that doesnt work for you ?
[04:07] <zz> startx works, but how do i "launch" X and the game? I thought I could so startx /Path/to/Game yes?
[04:08] <DozedOnLinux> zz: i suppose you may for some games, but, why you avoid going into X ?
[04:08] <zz> DozedOnLinux: because something makes it window and then it lags
[04:09]  * De[X]tone says hello... morning guyz..
[04:09] <jrib> !register > Lideruno (read the private message from ubottu)
[04:09] <Gnea> zz: what system specs do you have?
[04:09] <zz> so if i got rid of everything else running in X then that would I am gussing solve my problem

[04:10] <zz> DozedOnLinux: it complains that no X is running lol
[04:10] <Gnea> zz: that's silly, the only thing that would be slowing the system down is older hardware
[04:10] <Gnea> zz: or if it's new, improper drivers/setup
[04:10] <DozedOnLinux> zz: it may make a difference in how you attack the issue, so it may very well be relevent
[04:10] <zz> Gnea: since when does linux use drivers?
[04:10] <Gnea> zz: since forever.
[04:10] <zilt0id> hello, does anyone know how to tell if a particular network interface is using a static or dynamic ip address?
[04:10] <zz> Gnea: drivers and modules are the same thing?
[04:10] <Gnea> zz: if you perform the lsmod command, you will see them all loaded.
[04:10] <Gnea> zz: yes.
[04:11] <DozedOnLinux> zz: i see, sorry i cant help users that dont want the help

[04:16] <dennister> m1xed: try installing kubuntu...full kde
[04:16] <zilt0id> dew5, kubuntu runs KDE, ubuntu runs GNOME
[04:16] <DozedOnLinux> dew5: KDE vs GNome
[04:16] <Bhavesh> m1xed :nope.. strictly IDE drives
[04:16] <m1xed> dennister, yes but wont that install KDE4??? I HATE KDE4
[04:17] <linuxguymarshall> how can I end synaptic from the terminal?
[04:17] <dennister> dew5: only difference is the kde for kubuntu
[04:17] <dew5> which would you 2 prefer?
[04:17] <Bhavesh> this is  a few yrs old m/b don't even have SATA ctrl
[04:17] <Gnea> !caps | m1xed
[04:17] <Gnea> rawr.
[04:17] <dennister> m1xed: no, you have to install kde4 to get kde4
[04:18] <Bhavesh> can you also label rest of the drives the same way /dev/sdX instead of /dev/hdX?
[04:18] <m1xed> dennister, i dont want to install kde4, i want to install kde 3.5
[04:18] <jrib> Bhavesh: yes, that's how the kernel handles them now
[04:18] <dennister> Gnea: festival is installed and working with kttsmgr, but not in console with speakup, and this blind user needs something working in console
[04:18] <Daisuke_Laptop> m1xed: NO, kde4 is NOT the default for kubuntu
[04:19] <Daisuke_Laptop> m1xed: all you have to do is install kubuntu-desktop and select kde from the login
[04:19] <windowsxp> how do you change the main menu icon on the panel?
[04:19] <Bhavesh> jrib thank you .. one more q'. how about the secondary hdd ctrl's  ( i am have built in FakeRaid ctrl and i am going to put one more pci card ctrl will they be called /dev/hdX or /dev/sdX ?
[04:20] <jrib> Bhavesh: I don't know anything about raid.  But afaik, everything is /dev/sdX now
[04:20] <Bhavesh> jrib thanks.. let's see how it goes
[04:20] <m1xed> Daisuke, so I should execute sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop???
[04:20] <dennister> Gnea: the problem may be that speakup doesn't know which synthesizer to use, as installing the required speechd-up and speech-dispatcher also pulled in some other dependences, like espeak and flite, as well as festival
[04:20] <zilt0id> sdX is for SATA devices, AFAIK
[04:20] <Daisuke_Laptop> m1xed: correct
[04:20] <Daisuke_Laptop> zilt0id: sdX is for everything now.
[04:20] <m1xed> Daisuke, thank you sensei!  I'll do that right now
[04:21] <zz> Gnea: it was the screensaver
[04:21] <Dice|Desktop> Hey guys
[04:21] <Dice|Desktop> And gals
[04:21] <zz> i disabled it and now it doesnt window out
[04:21] <Bhavesh> zilt0id i know, question was if i have additional add on hdd ctrls will they have label sdX or hdX ?
[04:21] <Gnea> dennister: according to apt, speechd-up is a sort of 'bridge' between the kernel and the user interface... i admit i do not know much about it, as we rarely have blind users grace us with their presence.
[04:21] <goanookie> glas on this ubuntu channel ?
[04:21] <powergoal2> Does anyone know of a rubiks cube style puzzle game on linux?
[04:21] <Dice|Desktop> Does anyone know how I would un-frak my machine? :)
[04:21] <zilt0id> Bhavesh, no clue
[04:22] <Bhavesh> zilt0id no problem.. i am going to find out soon

[04:22] <error404notfound> I have HP Compaq 6720s and Ubuntu 8.04LTS. When I close the lid, and then open, the last screen hangs up... computer dies, I have to do a force restart by pulling out the battery..
[04:22] <Daisuke_Laptop> no bot.
[04:22] <Gnea> dennister: are you using fiesty?
[04:22] <Daisuke_Laptop> powergoal2: gnubik is probably what you'll want
[04:22] <m1xed> !defragment
[04:22] <dennister> Gnea: yes, it is a bridge, and I'm using hardy
[04:22] <Gnea> Daisuke_Laptop: yess...
[04:22] <powergoal2> Daisuke_Laptop: thankyou much :)
[04:23] <dennister> Gnea: I had to build a custom kernel to enable speakup, and I chose to add all the synthesizers that work with speakup as modules
[04:23] <Dice|Desktop> It seems that, in my haste to remove my ubuntu partition from my dual boot system, I've done damage to the loading process of windows xp
[04:23] <und3rgr0undz3r0> hey, how doi change my emerald theme?
[04:24] <Gnea> dennister: so why the preference of console over the GUI?  why not just run a terminal in full-screen mode?
[04:24] <Tribo> Olá! Estou tentando ir para o ubuntu-br, porém não consigo me registrar. Sei que não é permitido dialogar em português, mas alguêm poderia me dizer passo a passo como me registro, no Dialogo reservado?
[04:24] <Dice|Desktop> Anyone want to take the challenge of helping me out?   I have to add one song at a time to my playlist on the mp3 player
[04:24] <blondewarning> hey guys, does anyone know how to reclaim a network device that has suddenly become unclaimed?
[04:24] <und3rgr0undz3r0> gnea hahhahahaha
[04:24] <jclock80> Anyone on my bluetooth problem?
[04:25] <Gnea> und3rgr0undz3r0: yes?
[04:25] <Dice|Desktop> Yes
[04:25] <monstrMobile> could someone help me with a webcam...i have to replug it in to make it work....is there any way to make the webcam driver load before the usb drivers?
[04:25] <Gnea> Dice|Desktop: boot it. go to recovery console. login. use the fixmbr command. reboot. fix.
[04:25] <dennister> Gnea: that would be fine, running terminal in full-screen, but orca and other gui-based screen readers and such don't work with the terminal, either...only a very limited number of apps are read by those gui-based ones
[04:25] <und3rgr0undz3r0> so, will someone tell me about changing my emerald theme in gnome?
[04:26] <blondewarning> any takers?
[04:26] <Tribo> olá podemos continuar no dialogo , é q antes eu estava como adm.

[04:27] <Dice|Desktop> Let me explain my setup: I had a dual boot system with ubuntu on partition 1, a swap on partition 2, and windows xp on partition 3. I deleted those first two, my first mistake but dont we all sometimes, but expanded the third to the left, letting it take up the entirety of my hdd. On reboot i get the error of not being able to start because of a hard disk configuration problem. Attempted fixmbr, says it worked. Attempted
[04:27] <monstrMobile> could someone help me with a webcam...i have to replug it in to make it work....is there any way to make the webcam driver load before the usb drivers?
[04:27] <RoshanK> is there an easy shortcut key to open up terminal
[04:27] <dennister> besides, this blind user is used to lynx and text-based apps...and he'd like to be fully independent from sighted help...since so much assistance is given using cli commands, it's crucial that something work automatically with text
[04:27] <tritium> monstrMobile: please don't repeat so often
[04:27] <monstrMobile> sorry...
[04:27] <dennister> Gnea: ergo, he needs to be able to monitor bootup and shutdown processes
[04:28] <goanookie> RoshanK, alt f3 i think
[04:28] <blondewarning> all the smart folk seem busy, so i'll bug you guys again later.  :)
[04:28] <IdleOne> Tribo, #ubuntu-es
[04:28] <m1xed> Dice|Desktop youre sol, windows needs to be installed first as far as I know
[04:28] <RoshanK> goanookie i tried that but it brings up the deskbar applet
[04:28] <goanookie> RoshanK, and f2 ?
[04:29] <dennister> the fact that speakup support has been dropped from the repositories for hardy is a real problem
[04:29] <monstrMobile> mlxed - you talking about virtualization?
[04:29] <windowsxp> how can i change the main menu icon?
[04:29] <CutMeOwnThroat> monstrMobile, force to load on boot by putting the module in /etc/modules?
[04:29] <m1xed> Dice|Desktop, you might be able to configure GRUB to boot windows though
[04:29] <monstrMobile> CutMeOwnThroat - I did that...problem is usbcore loads before the webcam driver
[04:30] <RoshanK> goanookie, alt f2 opens up the run application box. there is a run in terminal option, but i was wonfering there was some way to bring up terminal itself with a shortcut
[04:30] <Dice|Desktop> Oh really?
[04:30] <rafaelscj> .3gp files don't output sond... Any idea how to solve it?
[04:30] <goanookie> RoshanK, just assign a key combination to open up a terminal
[04:30] <Gnea> dennister: that's a tough one, i'm guessing you've already purused www.linux-speakup.org?
[04:30] <Daisuke_Laptop> CutMeOwnThroat: Sausage inna bun?
[04:30] <RoshanK> goanookie, sorry for being a n00b but how would i do that?
[04:31] <CutMeOwnThroat> Daisuke_Laptop, you want one? I just dusted 'em off, so they're nice'n'fresh
[04:31] <goanookie> RoshanK, hold on got to fire up vmware with an ubuntu image :)
[04:31] <Daisuke_Laptop> CutMeOwnThroat: of course, i'm just not dumb enough to ask what's in them
[04:31] <m1xed> ohh yeah, i just finished installed kubuntu, im outta here, l8terz bishes!!!
[04:31] <rafaelscj> !3gp
[04:31] <goanookie> I kind of forgot how to do that
[04:31] <Daisuke_Laptop> m1xed: see you in #kubuntu
[04:31] <RoshanK> goanookie: thank you for your help. if it's too much don't bother, i dont want to trouble you
[04:31] <CutMeOwnThroat> Daisuke_Laptop, oh, that would be a GOURMET sausage...
[04:32] <m1xed> Daisuke, I will see you l8ter, master
[04:32] <siefny> hi. how i can fix mbr?? command fdisk /mbr on terminal not go....
[04:32] <Daisuke_Laptop> nono, no one's master, just trying to help where i can
[04:32] <monstrMobile> CutMeOwnThroat - Is there a way to load usbcore after other drivers?
[04:32] <goanookie> RoshanK, ubuntu is already running :)
[04:32] <dennister> Gnea: Karl Dahlke, author of edbrowse, jupiter and http://eklhad.net/cli.html has a very valid point when he states that making gui-based 3D OS's accessible to the blind is almost impossible........yes, i have been using speakup.org, and got some help from the speakup channel, too, but no one seems to be awake in there at the moment
[04:32] <RoshanK> goanookie: ok. thank you in advance
[04:32] <m1xed> siefny, what's wrong with the PC? you might want to try fixmbr
[04:33] <CutMeOwnThroat> monstrMobile, don't think so - but shouldn't be necessary either. udev should load the module when it's needed...
[04:33] <xxploit> any1 know of any good gnutella clients(nothing qt based). Ive been using Frostwire but was wondering if any1else can recommend something faster(as in loading).
[04:33] <goanookie> RoshanK, in system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[04:33] <siefny> im instal ubuntu 7.10 on alternate cd....and instal complete but on restart i see "disk boot faturite....' and im agin boot cd and select "boot 1st sector disk"...grub  run and error 10 :/
[04:33] <dennister> since i have the custom kernel done, the modules built, speech-dispatcher and other necessities running, i think i'm on the last leg of this
[04:34] <RoshanK> goanookie: lol thanks. im such a noob i forgot to look there.
[04:34] <siefny> im reinstal grub but mbr is bad :/ i think...
[04:34] <CutMeOwnThroat> your bot is dead?
[04:35] <IdleOne> siefny, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Backup,%20Repairing%20and%20Reinstalling%20GRUB
[04:35] <IdleOne> CutMeOwnThroat, seems the bot is dead for now
[04:36] <Gnea> dennister: my only suggestion is to make a post in the forum or mailing list, if you haven't already, and give it some time.
[04:36] <Gnea> dennister: i'm sorry i do not know what else to suggest at this time. :/
[04:36] <siefny> IdleOne :hmmm.ok im try this
[04:36] <monstrMobile> CutMeOwnThroat - can i change the order of boot for udev?
[04:36] <misterecs81> PLEASE, I need help configuring ATICONFIG.

[04:37] <dennister> Gnea: that's ok, you tried :-) i have made a post to the forum and last time i checked there were quite a few views, but no replies...mailing list will be difficult for me to get the help I need in time
[04:37] <Gnea> misterecs81: once is quite enough.
[04:37] <Bhavesh> is it a good idea to install xwindow on server if server is behind NAT firewall?
[04:37] <Gnea> Bhavesh: a GUI on any server is just asking for trouble.

[04:38] <Dice|Desktop> format time
[04:38] <Dice|Desktop> 1gb flash drive for the win
[04:38] <Dice|Desktop> cheers
[04:38] <Bhavesh> michael i have heard it works under wine .. never tried it
[04:38] <Gnea> FeRNaNDo_PiNHeiR: #ubuntu-br
[04:38] <Bhavesh> Gnea well server is a machine i am running apache/gallery/postfix on
[04:38] <fallore> i just edited my xorg.conf trying to make all my mouse's buttons work and now i can't move the cursor. any suggestions?
[04:38] <misterecs81> [GNEA] ==> Sorry for the multiple call, i'm just VERY frustrated with this crap. and all i want is the cool window effects I KNOW my card is capable of, who knew it'd be THIS much of a hassle.
[04:38] <Gnea> Bhavesh: what's wrong with ssh?
[04:38] <charles_> michael: are you sure you want to? http://torrentfreak.com/critical-vulnerability-discovered-in-utorrent-080812/
[04:39] <powergoal2> fallore: paste a copy of your xorg and i might be able to help...  paste2.org
[04:39] <Bhavesh> but i also want to install xwindow if i can , so i can run x apps occassionally
[04:39] <Bhavesh> oh it does have ssh
[04:39] <misterecs81> [GNEA] ==> I'll check it out. thanx.
[04:39] <IdleOne> michael, try rtorrent it's in the repos
[04:39] <Gnea> misterecs81: okay.
[04:39] <Bhavesh> but i am sitting at the console want to see if i can install x window for occasional use
[04:40] <jack-desktop> is sun-java6-plugin the firefox java plugin?
[04:40] <IdleOne> jack-desktop, yes
[04:41] <chengwf> Am I here ?
[04:41]  * IdleOne looks for the error but can't seem to find it
[04:41] <IdleOne> chengwf, yes you are not here
[04:41] <fallore> er, sorry, i somehow restarted my computer. someone had said something to me about my mouse problem?
[04:41] <powergoal2> fallore: paste a copy of your xorg and i might be able to help...  paste2.org
[04:42] <|Zippo|> hello, how can I put a getdeb repository on my ubuntu?
[04:42] <IdleOne> paste.ubuntu.com
[04:42] <fallore> damnit, i can't scroll up and the window is very small :X
[04:42] <fallore> what is the shortcut to get to terminal?
[04:42] <jack-desktop> is it known that yahoo games dont work on firefox?
[04:42] <DrRealHouse> zippo:  The Getdep repo does not exist yet.  You have to download the debs manually
[04:42] <powergoal2> fallore: if I'm not mistaken you have to set it yourself.  there isn't a default..?
[04:42] <fallore> damn, i thought it was ctrl + f1 or something.
[04:42] <powergoal2> jack-desktop: do you have macromedia flash plugin installed/
[04:42] <CutMeOwnThroat> monstrMobile, udev doesn't have to do with boot - but I don't know much about it - there should be howtows and the channel-bot should know about it... see e.g http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-FAQ or http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html
[04:43] <Zaq_unkwn> hello all, is the IBM thinkpad laptop a intel computer, i dont know which ubuntu version to get
[04:43] <fallore> is there a way i can open the terminal with just my keyboard?
[04:43] <IdleOne> fallore, any reason why you need to swear every sentence?
[04:43] <jack-desktop> powergoal2: the game says i need java, which other java apps work fine
[04:43] <fallore> i'm frustrated and it's habit, i'll try and stop.
[04:43] <monstrMobile> CutMeOwnThroat - THANKS!!!
[04:43] <monstrMobile> CutMeOwnThroat - I will check it out
[04:43] <|Zippo|> DrRealHouse: ok... but I already have gnucash 2.2.5 (p.e.) installed
[04:43] <IdleOne> fallore, suggest you stop now before the ops decide to make you stop :)
[04:43] <lqman> yeah, you can press Alt+F2
[04:43] <|Zippo|> DrRealHouse: how can I upgrade to 2.2.6 with a getdeb package?
[04:43] <Bhavesh> fallore try ctrl-alt-f2
[04:44] <lqman> and write down gnome-terminal<return>
[04:44] <vipaca> Hi all I have a question I've got an ubuntu box behind a firewall and I can get wget to work with export http_proxy, but I can not get apt-get or aptitude or synaptic to do so. Any suggestions as to where Im going wrong or things I should try?
[04:44] <chengwf> How could I get a stable nick here ?
[04:44] <laras_syik_lonel> vhg
[04:44] <|Zippo|> is there anyway? or just purging 2.2.5 and install the new one?
[04:44] <tritium> chengwf: register with nickserv
[04:44] <IdleOne> |Zippo|, download the deb then in terminal type dpkg -i filename.deb
[04:44] <chengwf> Excuse me
[04:44] <Bhavesh> what's recommended swap size for a lightly used server with 1GB memory?
[04:44] <IdleOne> |Zippo|, or double click the deb file on your desktop after download
[04:44] <Gnea> chengwf: /msg nickserv help
[04:44] <monstrMobile> 2-3GB
[04:44] <DrRealHouse> Zippo:  Remove the 2.2.5 but I think that you can simply download the package and double-click on it...  It will start like a setup in windows
[04:44] <Zaq_unkwn> hello all, is the IBM thinkpad laptop a intel computer, i dont know which ubuntu version to get
[04:44] <|Zippo|> IdleOne: will it upgrade?
[04:44] <Bhavesh> 2G it is then
[04:45] <IdleOne> |Zippo|, yes
[04:45] <CutMeOwnThroat> Bhavesh, I think it's generally 2X RAM
[04:45] <DrRealHouse> Zippo: and update the 2.2.5 package
[04:45] <Gnea> Zaq_unkwn: yes
[04:45] <powergoal2> Zaq_unkwn: google ibm thinkpad.  but i think so
[04:45] <|Zippo|> let me try
[04:45] <Bhavesh> CutMeOwnThroat i will set it 2GB then
[04:45] <vipaca> maybe I should try the export as sudo?
[04:45] <dennister> ok, here's a more general ubuntu-related question: how do i find out all the applications and processes taht are currently running on this pc? I need all the console based stuff, particularly, as it's pretty easy to know which gui-based apps are being used
[04:45] <Gnea> Zaq_unkwn: most of the recent thinkpads use intel celeron m
[04:45] <Bhavesh> dennda ps aux
[04:45] <powergoal2> dennister: top will show some info, alternatively ps aux will do more
[04:45] <IdleOne> dennister, type top in terminal
[04:46] <regeya> if it's an ibm thinkpad, it's almost assuredly x86
[04:46] <DrRealHouse> Zippo: I think so,  If it can't it will tell you.  Worst case, you will have to remove first...
[04:46] <ricardo_> can anyone tell me how to instal firefox dor ubuntu?
[04:46] <regeya> were there any 64-bit ibms?  I thought they were sold to lenovo by then
[04:46] <vipaca> Does anyone remember how to add a command to the sudo list?
[04:46] <IdleOne> dennister, also ps aux in terminal
[04:46] <dennister> powergoal2: thx...perhaps i'll now be able to see if there are conflicts between running synthesizers
[04:46] <tritium> ricardo_: it's installed by default.
[04:46] <Gnea> vipaca: visudo
[04:46] <Zaq_unkwn> Gnea: so i should get the AMD 64 and Intel computers version then ?
[04:46] <IdleOne> ricardo_, firefox comes installed default
[04:46] <powergoal2> regeya: i think you're right.
[04:46] <Gnea> Zaq_unkwn: what's the model #?
[04:47] <Zaq_unkwn> Gnea : Z60t
[04:47] <powergoal2> Zaq_unkwn: you might be able to find some info in /proc/cpuinfo
[04:47] <ricardo_> I know but I want the new version, 3.0
[04:47] <gilda> Zaq_unkwn: i know for sure my T62 is an intel
[04:47] <Bhavesh> it's too late to ask but hope ext3 is ok as FS on lightly used server specially only on OS drive
[04:47] <monstrMobile> ricardo - it is included by default
[04:47] <vipaca> Gnea more info needed if I wanted to add export.
[04:47] <powergoal2> fallore: did you figure out how to paste your xorg.conf?
[04:48] <fallore> so, ctrl + alt + f2 got me into a text only terminal where i couldn't edit xorg.conf. alt + f2 get's me to a "run" application, i'm not sure what to do from there to either edit xorg or open a terminal.
[04:48] <fallore> powergoal2: i'm still figuring out how to open it without a mouse :P
[04:48] <Zaq_unkwn> ok heres the thing i already did a ubuntu install on my laptop but it failed at the grub loader part at 97% of install
[04:48] <Zaq_unkwn> but i was using the desltop version from ubuntu website
[04:48] <Gnea> Zaq_unkwn: that it? http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-61315
[04:49] <powergoal2> fallore: hm.  if you don't have a mouse at all im not sure how you are going to paste anyway.  unless you are using links and screen
[04:49] <Bhavesh> fallore you can just type xterm in the run window and click ok
[04:49] <droopsta915> im still trying to install a the packet tracer file, it wont insstall.
[04:49] <qr> fallore: why can't you edit xorg.conf from the ctrl+alt+f2 terminal?
[04:49] <Zaq_unkwn> Gnea: yes thats the one
[04:49] <fallore> qr: it's not graphical to my knowledge, and i only know the terminal command to open it graphically.
[04:49] <powergoal2> fallore: vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:49] <qr> fallore: ahh, use nano or pico or vim or emacs to edit it in a terminal
[04:49] <powergoal2> fallore: will open it in a terminal editor
[04:50] <powergoal2> fallore: I think thats the right location for xorg.conf in ubuntu...
[04:50] <fallore> i got a terminal open by hitting alt + f1 and navigating through the menu. now i just need to figure out what to change in my xorg.conf seeing as i accidentally pasted over the default mouse section
[04:50] <tritium> powergoal2: it is
[04:50] <monstrMobile> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:50] <Gnea> Zaq_unkwn: ok, they're all 32bit
[04:50] <papp7337> anyone know why my monitor will only display in 1280 x 1024?
[04:50] <ricardo_> can anyone tell how to install whatever in ubuntu? I cant understand, I want to install the drivers and I just dont know how to do it
[04:50] <papp7337> i have an intel 810 chipset
[04:50] <fallore> hmm, my xorg.conf seems to be completely blank. wouldn't that make my keyboard stop working too?
[04:51] <powergoal2> fallore: yeah, that means you opened the wrong file, i should think
[04:51] <josh__> in the system update I pressed cancel by accident now a few of the packages diddnt update how can I fix it?
[04:51] <tritium> fallore: not in hard
[04:51] <Gnea> papp7337: probably due to other modes not being set. have you looked at system->preferences->screen resolution?

[04:51] <fallore> i'm sorry, my xchat screen is very small and i can't resize it, could you send that again (whoever that was?)
[04:51] <Zaq_unkwn> any reason for my install to fail at 97% at the grub loader part
[04:51] <fallore> or you can open a private dialog with me, i think i can make that work
[04:51] <Gnea> fallore: no, it just means X won't start next time
