[09:33] <wizzo50> Clap for the Wolf-Man
[09:33] <wizzo50> The Wolf Man comes home one day from a long day at the office.
[09:33] <wizzo50> "How was work, dear?" his wife asks.
[09:33] <wizzo50> "Listen! I don't want to talk about work!" he shouts.
[09:33] <wizzo50> "Okay.  she asks nicely.
[09:33] <FloodBot2> wizzo50: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:33] <wizzo50> "Listen!" he shouts again. "I'm not hungry! I don't wanna eat! All right! Is that all right with you? Can I come home from work and just do my own thing without you forcing food down my throat? Huh?"
[09:34] <Gouda> This is the most retarded thing ever
[09:34] <naftilos76> Has anybody had any luck seeing his bluetooth headset being created as a virtual device in pulse with installed packages based on current repositories contents?
[09:34] <Flannel> lch: You unfortunately won't be able to use both, but you'd just create two new lvm partitions (physical volumes) and then join them into your volume group
[09:35] <Flannel> lch: You can't use both because you already have three used partitions
[09:35] <danl> if I am going to build a program from source, should i uninstall it with aptitude first?
[09:35] <Flannel> !checkinstall | danl
[09:35] <Grommmm> moving back to windows
[09:36] <lch> Flannel: so I install a new volume group in the unallocated space and then join with the existing one?
[09:36] <naftilos76> Grommmm - why would you do that?
[09:36] <Flannel> lch: No, you create a new physical volume (that's a partition, basically) and then you just add that pv into your vg
[09:37] <danl> Flannel: thanks
[09:37] <situation> lch: what did you want?
[09:38] <situation> what is the difference between LVM and no LVM?
[09:38] <lch> situation: see http://i30.tinypic.com/1zd2976.png - I want to add the unallocated space in front of the LVM to it
[09:38] <leaf-sheep> situation: The word 'no'
[09:38] <kraut> moin
[09:38] <RichiV> lol VMware is sick! its so uch better than Wine.. although wine is hella boss
[09:38] <Flannel> situation: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-lvm/ describes what LVM does pretty well, including pictures
[09:39] <cornet> RichiV: VMware is not "sick" it's horrible and is completely different to wine
[09:39] <dimm> can i use 'shutdown -r now' after booting from 'ubuntu 8.04 live-cd' ?
[09:39] <lch> Flannel: ok, how would I do that in steps? do you have a link for information that I can follow?
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: vmware requires an installed OS though so costs a lot more than wine
[09:39] <Gouda> How do I turn temporarily turn off auto mounting?
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> dimm: sure, it needs sudo
[09:39] <lch> the only things I've seen concern growing/shrinking at the end of a volume group
[09:40] <naftilos76> Has anybody had any luck seeing his bluetooth headset being created as a virtual device in pulse with installed packages based on current repositories contents?
[09:40] <duke01> hello
[09:40] <Gouda> How do I temporarily turn off auto mounting>
[09:40] <dimm> ActionParsnip, is sudo already installed on live-cd ?
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> dimm: it wil reboot the pc and all data in volatile storage, ram, will be lost
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> dimm: yes
[09:40] <Flannel> lch: That page I just gave to situation goes over some of it.  I'm sure there's a better resource out there, I'm not aware of it though.
[09:40] <KurtKraut> I'd like to make an 'traffic accounting'. Log every IP address my server stabilished a TCP or UDP connection and how much traffic were sent/received by each IP. What package should I use for this job?
[09:40] <AdvoWork> hi there. anyone here know how to make firefox full screen as default(f11)
[09:40] <situation> Flannel: in what situations would you use LVM for the average user?
[09:41] <duke01> i have a question about mounting a HFS+ drive writeable on a linux system
[09:41] <dayo> can someone help me with this error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/264843/  Or tell me how to launch from command line, the Logout/Suspend/Reboot/Shutdown dialog window?
[09:41] <leaf-sheep> Gouda: "gconftool-2 --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount --type=bool false"
[09:41] <cornet> lch: partition the free space, do pvcreate on it then add it to the volume group
[09:41] <Gouda> ok thanks. HOw do I know that it took effect?
[09:42] <Flannel> situation: One of the nicest parts is the ability to group multiple disks together (if I have 100G now, but I buy a 500G in the future, I can have a single 600G, if I then want to replace my 100G, I can do so easily, and then have a 1000G drive).  Also, it allows you to resize partitions quickly (and while live)
[09:42] <dr3mro> did any one here used btrfs filesystem
[09:42] <leaf-sheep> Gouda: Test it, I suppose.
[09:43] <RichiV> ActionParsnip: I already have an installed windows OS, Ubuntu, and a reusable Windows OS disc
[09:43] <RichiV> ActionParsnip: atm its installing windows on 4 gigs
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: true but if yo didnt have one ;)
[09:43] <RichiV> ActionParsnip: very tru.  I'm trying to setup a "new" server for PostgreSQL (it's a Dell PowerEdge 6650 with 4xXEON 2800 CPUs, 32 GB of RAM and 5x73 GB SCSI disks)
[09:47] <ionut_> I'm trying to setup Software RAID in Ubuntu but I get the same speed as that of one drive (I tried with four SCSI disks in RAID0 and RAID5
[09:48] <bernardlychan> hey guys could someone read my var/log for me? http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1hmgoondowz
[09:48] <cornet> ionut_: please can you define "same speed" i.e. how are you testing this ?
[09:48] <bernardlychan> ty
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> !raid | ionut_
[09:48] <danl> if an app needs "pcre" to compile, which package do I need to install libpcre3-dev?
[09:49] <ionut_> dan1 I believe yes
[09:49] <cornet> ionut_: also if this is a production server then i would not use RAID 0 or 5 but RAID 10 - I would also consider using H/W RAID so you can hot-swap drives reliabl
[09:49] <danl> ionut_: Thanks
[09:49] <bernardlychan> !hi
[09:49] <Gouda> wow this is completely obsurd. I unmount my drive and then do sudo ln -s /media/cdrom0 /media/dvd then export SETUP_CDROM=/media/dvd/ then mount /media/cdrom0 and then sudo sh /media/cdrom0/linux-installer.sh and it still freakin tells me to Please mount the damn UT disc..............
[09:49] <bernardlychan> !lol
[09:49] <Spike1506> why is it that compiz glitches with ati? :)
[09:50] <bernardlychan> !sorry
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> Spike1506: ati drivers arent fantastic
[09:50]  * danl wishes there was a package in the repo for nginx_uploadprogress_module
[09:50] <rohdef> I'm trying to install wifi-drivers via ndiswrapper, and I get the message: couldn't find section "5211.reg", what do I do?
[09:50]  * bernardlychan does too... be back soon
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> Spike1506: maybe you need some extra options in xorg.conf for your particular card
[09:51] <ionut_> cornet the speed I got was about 60 MB/s from one drive and the RAID 0 (and RAID 5) array
[09:51] <ionut_> i tested with dd
[09:51] <Spike1506> ActionParsnip, i have a HD 3400series
[09:51] <Spike1506> ActionParsnip, how can i find those extra options?
[09:52] <cornet> ionut_: read or write ?
[09:52] <ionut_> 45 MB/s WRITE, 60 MB/S READ
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> Spike1506: if you run: top    is xorg taking a lot of cpu?
[09:53] <ionut_> the disks are 10K RPM 73 GB Ultra 320 SCSI
[09:53] <cornet> ionut_: sounds about right for single disk that
[09:53] <RichiV> ActionParsnip: lol i need to get a new computer... i ran outa HDD for a VMWare install
[09:53] <cornet> ionut_: have you looked at bonnie ?
[09:54] <Gouda> Where is the MTAB and FSTAB files located at?
[09:54] <cornet> ionut_: I would do some tests with that rather than dd
[09:54] <ionut_> the controller is Adaptec AIC-7892 onboard
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> ionut_: nice!
[09:54] <duke01> ok i know that i must turn off the jornaling with the Mac OS/X but i can boot that os is there a other way to mount the HFS+ partion as writable without booting the MAC OS/X?
[09:54] <ionut_> Gouda : /etc/
[09:55] <Gouda> thanks
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> Spike1506: http://techmania.wordpress.com/2009/07/07/radeon-3400-on-lenovo-t400-and-ubuntu-jaunty-jackalope/
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> Spike1506: it has the same video card (i tink) so may be of use
[09:56] <Spike1506> ty ActionParsnip
[09:56] <ionut_> cornet_ I tried bonnie but it got stuck at "Writing with putc()"
[09:56] <cornet> ionut_: humm odd
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> Spike1506: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/351186
[09:56] <ionut_> When the server boots it says 8254 is not connected to IO_APIC - but I don't think that's the problem here
[09:56] <cornet> ionut_: for reference our 14 x 75G 15K  RAID 10  gets 148 MB/s reads measuring using dd
[09:57] <Nickorz> Hey i need help :P
[09:57] <BezNalogov> I use ubuntu jaunty and via a website I have installed the dymo extension in firefox (in firefox appeared a box on the top to install it, here I clicked to install it). In firefox I see this extension as installed, however the website keeps saying that the extension isn't installed. Doing this exactly the same way under windows or suse in firefox doesn't give any problems. Does anybody have an idea what this can be?
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> Spike1506: i dont buy ati cards so cant comment personally
[09:57] <cornet> ionut_: for databases genreally seek speak matters more than raw transfer rate
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> BezNalogov: restart firefox
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> BezNalogov: close the window then run: ps -ef | grep fire
[09:58] <BezNalogov> Already restarted firefox
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> BezNalogov: make sure no firefox processes are running
[09:58] <duke01> ok i know that i must turn off the jornaling with the Mac OS/X but i can boot that os is there a other way to mount the HFS+ partion as writable without booting the MAC OS/X?
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> BezNalogov: if no firefoxes are running, rerun. If its still no good, remove the addon then reinstall it
[09:59] <BezNalogov> ok, I'll try that
[09:59] <Nickorz> I have used the Live install CD and after updating everything and installing some packages the operating system just does not want to start and sticks on a screen with fuzzy writing (white). Happened twice with two reinstalls (Only happens after installing packages!). Please help :)
[09:59] <ionut_> cornet_ it seems bonnie crashed the server
[09:59] <RichiV> can someone send me a link with a list of all available ubuntu viruses?
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware
[10:00] <ionut_> I'm seeing process postgress killed, process sshd killed out of memory....
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> Nickorz: boot to recovery mode and select root, then run: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> Nickorz: then run: shutdown -r now
[10:01] <zealiod> I want to get rid of the F1-F6 options at the base of my custom distro installation.... how can I do thi?
[10:01] <natrixnatrix89> Hi. Im a newbie to servers+live streaming. Could you recommend me a software for transcoding>streaming video from an WiFi IP camera, that sends it in mpeg4 format, but I want to deliver the video so that it could be seen using JW player? The only solution I know is cvlc. can you recommend me something?
[10:02] <natrixnatrix89> RichiVL go to help.ubuntu.com/community/
[10:03] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: wouldn't VLS be the best option?
[10:03] <natrixnatrix89> kazzy: do you mean cvlc?
[10:03] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: VideoLan Server
[10:04] <natrixnatrix89> kazzy: thanks.. Will try to study it.. Is it installed seperately as vlc?
[10:04] <natrixnatrix89> kazzy: I mean if I install vlc i dont have it already installed?
[10:04] <Nickorz> ActionParsnip: The same thing happens mate.
[10:05] <Gouda> FINALLY!!!!!!!!   OMG I FIGURED IT OUT
[10:05] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: it's a separate package
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> Nickorz: strange
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> Gouda: nice
[10:05] <ionut_> natrixnatrix89 it's a sepatate package
[10:05] <Gouda> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sr0 is already mounted on /media/cdrom0
[10:05] <ionut_> use apt-cache search vls
[10:05] <bouba> is it better to get ntfs-3g, or ntfsprogs
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> Gouda: yes, we established that a while ago
[10:05] <Gouda> I had to delete this line /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf ro,nosuid,nodev,utf8,user=gouda 0 0
[10:05] <Gouda> from my mtab file
[10:07] <natrixnatrix89> kazzy: is the package called vls?
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> Gouda: backup the file before you do, you could even
[10:07] <Gouda> I did before I edited it
[10:07] <Gouda> cp mtab mtab.old
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> Gouda: put a ## next to it to comment it out
[10:07] <Hagus> cannot access `home/calum/.gvfs': Permission denied
[10:07] <Hagus> Is that error serious?
[10:08] <Hagus> Ought I to be denied access?
[10:08] <Hagus> I am the only user of this machine.
[10:08] <Gouda> man I was banging my head and read one website that pointed me towards those two files
[10:08] <Gouda> mtab and fstab
[10:08] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: yeah, it is. but you might want to use VLC's graphical user interface instead
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> Hagus: you should have full access to all your own data?
[10:08] <natrixnatrix89> I want to use command line interface..
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> Hagus: what is the output of: ls -l ~/.gvfs
[10:09] <BezNalogov> I just rebooted my whole computer, to be sure no instance of firefox was running, but still this extension doesn't work
[10:09] <BezNalogov> The website keeps saying it's not installed
[10:09] <natrixnatrix89> But Do you know how do i have to encode it so that JW player would understand it?
[10:09] <BezNalogov> But I do see it as installed in the addons window of firefox
[10:09] <Gouda> Can always just check ps or do a top to see if firefox is running
[10:09] <Gouda> If it is running just kill it
[10:10] <Hagus> The return is " calum@ubuntu:~$ ls -l ~/.gvfs total 0
[10:10] <BezNalogov> Also did that Gouda
[10:10] <_Fauchi95_> Hello! I have my own repository. Now I want update a package. Must I just upload the new package? e.g. package-1.00.deb switch to package-2.00.deb?
[10:10] <cornet> ionut_: think you've got bigger problems than your RAID performance then ;)
[10:10] <BezNalogov> But still the extension won't work
[10:10] <Hagus> total 0 is the output, ActionParsnip
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> Hagus: ls -la ~/.gvfs/    sorry
[10:11] <Gouda> I missed what your original problem was Bez
[10:11] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: it's still not necessarily easy, and seemed odd to me that you could use VLC as a server.
[10:11] <natrixnatrix89> where can I find info about how to set vls.cfg?
[10:11] <Hagus> dr-x------   2 calum calum     0 2009-09-04 09:50 . and drwxr-xr-x 105 calum calum 12288 2009-09-04 10:05 ..
[10:11] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: just use VLC
[10:11] <ionut_> cornet It's an older Dell PowerEdge 6650. I want to use it for PostgreSQL - it has 32 GB of RAM
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> Hagus: you dont have write ability for some reason
[10:12] <cornet> ionut_: well whats eating all the RAM then - bonnie should not crash a server!
[10:12] <natrixnatrix89> kazzy: but whats the huge difference between VLC and VLS?
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> Hagus: sudo chmod -R o+w ~/.gvfs
[10:12] <cornet> ionut_: if it is doing then you either have hardware problems of have hit some bug
[10:12] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: well, you don't have to mess with the command line
[10:12] <bouba> how do i extract a .zip archive from the commandline?
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> bouba: unzip <file>
[10:13] <bouba> ActionParsnip: thanks buddy
[10:13] <DDT> Hi. Is Ubuntu good to host VMware virtual computers? Thx
[10:13] <Hagus> calum@ubuntu:~$ sudo chmod -R o+w ~/.gvf  returns   chmod: cannot access `/home/calum/.gvf': No such file or directory
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> DDT: its fine
[10:14] <natrixnatrix89> kazzy: I dont have the access to graphical interface, because I want a remote server to do the streaming.
[10:14] <BezNalogov> I see now that this extension uses activex. I suppose it's not possible to run that under linux, right?
[10:14] <bouba> ActionParsnip: does that require any extra packages?
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> Hagus: you missed the s off the end of the command
[10:14] <Hagus> sorry
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> bouba: no, you can extract away
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> Hagus: dont run partial commands, you may damage your system
[10:14] <JGodbout> Is there a way to access an iTunes 8 shared library from *buntu?
[10:14] <bouba> ActionParsnip: not working on my server edition system
[10:15] <Hagus> calum@ubuntu:~$ sudo chmod -R o+w ~/.gvfs chmod: cannot access `/home/calum/.gvfs': Permission denied
[10:15] <Nickorz> Is WINE a buggy package?
[10:15] <JGodbout> Nickorz: Yeah, man.
[10:15] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: well, you can still use console vlc and avoid the undocumented vls config file
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> bouba: ahh, sudo apt-get install unzip
[10:15] <DDT> ActionParsnip - what should I use. Desktop edition or Server edition? Are both for free? Thx.
[10:15] <Nickorz> JGodbout: So buggy that it can sometimes stop your OS from booting all togethor?
[10:15] <bouba> The program 'unzip' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install unzip -bash: unzip: command not found
[10:15] <bouba> yeah
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> DDT: both are free
[10:16] <Hagus> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the tip about partial commands - I knew that that applied when doing things like partitioning but shall be more careful generally now.
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> DDT: if the system is a genuine server and not to be touched much, use server, otherwise use desktop
[10:16] <bouba> DDT: depends what you want to use it for
[10:16] <JGodbout> Nickorz: Hmm. Probs not.
[10:16] <DDT> ActionParsnip - great, thank you. I need use it as server for virtual computers.
[10:16] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: but wait, is the remote server the one with the camera?
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> DDT: you dont need to, its just advisd as you'll have more resources or your VMs
[10:17] <natrixnatrix89> kazzy: thanks for help. Im just still wondering how do people use vls if its not documented
[10:17] <natrixnatrix89> kazzy - nop the remote camera is somewhere else
[10:17] <natrixnatrix89> it would have its own ip
[10:17] <Like> ty
[10:18] <natrixnatrix89> kazzy but still Do you know which video codec is flv using?
[10:18] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: well, what you wanted wasn't documented
[10:18] <DDT> ActionParsnip - I need more resources for my virtual computers. I have only 2GB Ram and I need run 2-3 virtual machines.
[10:18] <lyhana8> hi, i'm running on hardy 8.04 and I'm trying to switch sound ouput to my usb headphones, how should I do ?
[10:18] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: wait.. is the camera attached to a desktop with X?
[10:19] <natrixnatrix89> No the camera is not attached to anything. It is a wifi camera..
[10:19] <DDT> ActionParsnip - I hope that server edition has kde or gnome too - not only command line.
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> DDT: then server for sure
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> DDT: the server only has command line
[10:19] <DDT> only?
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> DDT: if you need a desktop, install desktop
[10:19] <Hagus> ActionParsnip: From a Google search, I saw that some are reporting this issue as a bug.  However the solutions offered did not work for me.
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> DDT: yes, only. true servers dont have desktops
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> DDT: you want the desktop install if you cant configure the system via command line
[10:20] <DDT> ActionParsnip - Yes, I am afraid I need sometimes desktop too. Because I am not very familiar with command line only.
[10:20] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: well, then isn't it already streaming?
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> DDT: then desktop for you, install xubuntu to make it a little lighter
[10:21] <DDT> ActionParsnip - xubuntu? its clon? Is it 100% compatibile with ubuntu?
[10:21] <philthno2> I have a strange problem with my browsers: Sometimes instead of a website I see "I am alive!", on the screen and in the sources. With opera, links2 and Firefox (Opera is the first as I usually browse with Opera). Booting a Debian in VirtualBox, everything works alright with the same URL. Did somebody experience something like that? This "I am alive" reminds me of a webserver standard page or somethin like that, but my cherokee default inde
[10:21] <philthno2> x.html is different.
[10:21] <natrixnatrix89> kazzy: im considering buying this camera: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/EU/en/products/WVC54GCA    But i think maybe i should transcode it..
[10:22] <DDT> ActionParsnip - I mean if I will need some help with xubuntu Can I ask here?
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> DDT: sure, as well as #xubuntu
[10:23] <Hagus> Is .gvfs a file to which I should normally need access?
[10:23] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: chances are it just creates a WMV stream, which wouldn't be a problem to play anywhere
[10:23] <DDT> ActionParsnip - Great! Going to download it. Thank you. :)
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> DDT: remember to md5 check stuff
[10:23] <natrixnatrix89> so The VLC uses WMV codec?
[10:23] <Hagus> I take it that I need worry about it too much - or would that be wrong of me?
[10:24] <DDT> ActionParsnip - md5? what for?
[10:24]  * Hagus is unsure as to whether he is fretting about .gvfs for nothing?
[10:24] <ionut_> I have two partitions on different disks. How can I test the disks with bonnie++?
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> DDT: make sure the data is complete and error free
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> Hagus: its a directory
[10:24] <Hagus> oh lol
[10:24] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: now, I'm not -certain-. is there any documentation you can get without buying it
[10:24] <DDT> ActionParsnip - ohh yes :) I will. Thx again. See you.
[10:25] <Hagus> Is there any reason why I should need to access it?
[10:25] <Hagus> What does it do?
[10:25]  * Hagus is a little confuddled
[10:25] <ionut_> I believe gvfs stands for Gnome Virtual File System
[10:26]  * Hagus looks more worried than before
[10:26] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: well, it looks like some kind of flash plugin thing
[10:26] <natrixnatrix89> I tried to search, but still dont understand - which video codec is VLC using..
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> Hagus: i think its for automounting partitions, not sure but you should have ful access to everything in your home folder
[10:26] <natrixnatrix89> but when I transcode using vlc it provides me VLC encapsulation
[10:27] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: VLC can handle pretty much any codec
[10:27] <kevor> I'm not seeing my network manager icon in the notification area, can someone help me figure out where it went? There are other icons in the notification Area..
[10:27] <Hagus> It is a dual booting - ubuntu9.04 and vista that I have.
[10:27] <natrixnatrix89> but video codecs included arent with flas plugin
[10:27] <Hagus> So maybe it is to protect the vista part?
[10:27] <ionut_> Hagus gvfs is mainly used to access remote filesystem as if they would reside on your machine
[10:27] <natrixnatrix89> kazzy: Ok. ill try to ask in a JW forum..
[10:27] <Hagus> ah ty, ionut_
[10:27] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: there's probably more to it due to security features
[10:28] <ionut_> For example when you connect to a shared folder (Samba, NFS, SSH) it mounts a folder on your machine
[10:28] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: JW?
[10:28] <Hagus> I cam across the error when messing about with trying to install symfony
[10:28] <natrixnatrix89> longtailvideo.com
[10:29] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: does the device use that video player?
[10:29] <natrixnatrix89> JW player would be embed in a website
[10:30] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: it seems you wouldn't even need to transcode anything. the camera itself serves flash video
[10:30] <Hagus> ionut_: I remember learning a little about shared folders a couple of years back when I was trying to set up a family network at home.  However, I have crashed my machine too often for the rest of the family to really want to have too much connection with me :)
[10:30] <natrixnatrix89> kazzy: really? thanks..
[10:31] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: only I can't say it'd be great for a web site, because it seems to ask for a password
[10:31] <ionut_> Hagus - I don't think gvfs should matter when installing symfony
[10:31] <nandu> Ion my system realteck 833 sound card is installed but mic is not running. I google solution but not found any solution. Now I wnat to install the sound card drivers on my ubuntu9.04.
[10:32] <zaggynl> Is ubuntu ssh enabled by default?
[10:32] <Hagus> From what ionut_ and ActionParsnip are saying, I reckon that I should not worry too much about gvfs?
[10:32] <thinkertinker> hi
[10:32] <ionut_> not really
[10:32] <Hagus> great :)
[10:33] <nandu> Hello want to install sound drivers on ubuntu 9.04 any idea?
[10:33] <ionut_> zaggynl Do you mean the server (daemon)?
[10:33] <Hagus> I would not like to think that I get symfony working and then find that I have reformatted all my partitions or something :)
[10:33] <natrixnatrix89> kazzy I still cant find which video codec is FLV using..
[10:33] <natrixnatrix89> whrere could I find it?
[10:33] <zaggynl> ionut_: yeah
[10:33] <Hagus> It would be too much like me :)
[10:33] <RichiV> can someone send me a beryl link?
[10:33] <ionut_> Hagus - it doesn't alter partition tables at all (it's a virtual FS) :)
[10:34] <RichiV> or can someone help me get beryl?
[10:34] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: FLV is a container, like Ogg
[10:34] <nandu> any body know how to install the sound cared drivers on ubuntu
[10:34] <Slart_> !beryl | RichiV
[10:34] <natrixnatrix89> I know..
[10:34] <zaggynl> nandu: what soundcard do you have? lspci | grep audio
[10:34] <Hagus> So, in short, I should forget about it?
[10:34] <ionut_> zaggynl sshd isn't installed by default in Ubuntu Desktop
[10:34] <natrixnatrix89> but which video codec is tthe best for it?
[10:34] <zaggynl> ionut_: okay thanks
[10:34]  * Hagus breathes a sigh of relief
[10:34] <RichiV> thankyour
[10:34] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_Video
[10:35] <ionut_> zaggynl you can check what servers are listening with netstat
[10:35] <LioTheSurfer> Hi I have a 250 hdd and want to do a dual boot. Which is the best way to partition? XP and Ubuntu
[10:35]  * Hagus scurries out of the channel in case someone contradicts ionut_ :)
[10:35] <RichiV> what is the problem with beryl?
[10:35] <ionut_> Hagus :)
[10:35] <kazzy> natrixnatrix89: look for "codec support"
[10:35] <nandu> zaggynl: they don't show me any output.
[10:35] <natrixnatrix89> kazzy FInally :) THANKS for everythin :)
[10:35] <zaggynl> ionut_: I'm currently working on the machine remotely on windows, if I reboot it it will boot into ubuntu, but if sshd isn't running it's no good ;-)
[10:35] <Hagus> thanks for the reassurance folks - much appreciated.
[10:35] <Slart_> RichiV: don't think there is a problem.. it's just merged with compiz and is now compiz fusion
[10:36] <bazhang> RichiV, its long out of date; its now called compiz
[10:36] <natrixnatrix89> I think ill use h264
[10:36] <kazzy> that's what youtube uses
[10:36] <RichiV> right.. although ubottu said it is highly recomended not to instal... i do not see a reason why?
[10:36] <nandu> zaggynl: lspci |grep audio
[10:36] <nandu>  not gives any outpur
[10:37] <bazhang> RichiV, not supported, doubt if its even possible frankly
[10:37] <zaggynl> hum
[10:37] <zaggynl> nandu: what audio device do you have?
[10:37] <bazhang> RichiV, get ccsm
[10:37] <RichiV> bazhang: i do remember using it b4 though
[10:37] <Slart_> RichiV: because everything else is now designed to work with compiz fusion.. noone make sure beryl even works.. noone fixes bugs and so on
[10:37] <nandu> how to check
[10:37] <bazhang> !ccsm | RichiV
[10:37] <ionut_> nandu try lspci | grep Audio
[10:37] <kazzy> well, beryl is outdated
[10:37] <zaggynl> oh, I forgot about case sensivity, my bad
[10:37] <pepperphd> ActionParsnip, ubuntu and xfce is about twice as fast as OSX was on my g3
[10:37] <bazhang> RichiV, as do others, a long time ago
[10:37] <nandu> ionut: tis command not give any output.
[10:38] <zaggynl> nandu: you'll have to look up what motherboard or soundcard is inside your pc
[10:38] <Slart_> RichiV: you could install ubuntu 7.10 or something though.. that ought to work with beryl..  but then you'll be using ubuntu 7.10
[10:38] <ionut_> nandu try sudo lshw
[10:38] <bazhang> Slart_, RichiV 7.10 is end of life
[10:38] <nandu> ok
[10:38] <zealiod> id like to remove the boot options from a linux CD, can this be done?
[10:38] <RichiV> i am already using 8.10 intredpid cause 8.10 + will not support my GFX
[10:38] <Slart_> RichiV: but I don't recommend installing ubuntu 7.10 for the same reasons that I don't recommend using beryl
[10:39] <RichiV> thanx alot
[10:39] <kazzy> if you're having graphics support issues, why are you using Compiz at all?
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> pepperphd: there are lighter WMs too if you want slick but its not so easy to use, like flwm
[10:40] <daplumpkin> does anyone know if the GeForce GTX 260 is supported yet?
[10:40] <kazzy> RichiV: what OpenGL driver?
[10:40] <JonathanEllis> Hi. I have been having problems installing UbuntuStudio on an oldish Dell Latitude C610 laptop with a Pentium III 1Ghz processor and 1GB of RAM. I tried Ubuntu Studio 9.04 but the package manager crashed when I tried to install OpenOffice and I couldnt recover from that. Now I am running Ubuntu Studio Hardy and its ok but the wifi is unreliable. Hardy Studio is fine on my desktop machine but that has a slightly faster processor. Is the real time ker
[10:41] <Slart_> RichiV: I would look into why you cant get your graphics working with the newer version instead of just sticking with the older ones.. that way you'll probably solve the problem altogether
[10:41] <kazzy> daplumpkin: it's definitely supported, but as for performance I can't be sure
[10:42] <pepperphd> ActionParsnip, #1 priority is getting all of the junk that comes with installing 2 desktops
[10:42] <daplumpkin> kazzy: thanks, what about the core i7 and 64bit? i jsut got this new comuter and when i try to download it it says that i'm downloading the amd64 version. does that really matter?

[10:43] <nandu> ok
[10:43] <jMCg> ugh...
[10:43] <nandu> inod: I just paste my audio device details.
[10:44] <ionut_> nandu it seems your audio device is detected
[10:44] <kazzy> daplumpkin: that's a pretty big system for that
[10:44] <aconrad> Hi, I'm running Intrepid which comes with the package Postgresql 8.3. But I need to install an 8.2 version of it for legacy reasons. How can I do that ?
[10:44] <nandu> ok then how to install the drivers.
[10:44] <ionut_> pls use pastebin and give us the output if lspci and lsusb
[10:44] <NetEcho> how do you make a .tar.gz with best compression?
[10:44] <daplumpkin> kazzy: i already have a dell inspiron that is totally ubuntu, i just didn't know for sure if it would be fully compatible
[10:44] <nandu> ok
[10:44] <cyber_666_uk> hey guys i have a shortcut to a program and want it to run as root when i click - ive tried adding sudo to the begining on the command but it doesnt load?
[10:44] <ionut_> NetEcho I recommend using 7zip with ultra settings
[10:44] <cyber_666_uk> sudo gambas2 in the shortcut properties
[10:45] <aconrad> Hi, I'm running Intrepid which comes with the package Postgresql 8.3. But I need to install an 8.2 version of it for legacy reasons. How can I do that ?
[10:45] <daplumpkin> kazzy: it is but i don't plan on buying another computer for at least another 5-7 years. my inspiron is almost 5 years old and runs great
[10:45] <aconrad> (oops, sorry, double post)
[10:45] <kazzy> daplumpkin: you'll want amd64 if you want to get most of the performance from it, as well
[10:45] <ionut_> cyber_666_uk try gksudo /path/to/command
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> cyber_666_uk: add gksudo instead
[10:45] <NetEcho> ionut_ I thought 7zip was propriatary to windows
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> !info 7zip
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> !find 7zip
[10:45] <ionut_> NetEcho 7zip is free
[10:45] <cyber_666_uk> yep that did it - thx
[10:46] <NetEcho> so its not like RAR where it preformes worse in a *nix environment?
[10:46] <daplumpkin> kazzy: thanks, i just didn't want to download it since it said amd before asking someone more proficient than myself. i really appreciate it
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> NetEcho: rar runs fine here, mind you i havent used file > 20Mb
[10:46] <ionut_> the 7z file format is open
[10:46] <NetEcho> ActionParsnip RAR is propriatary and has worse preformance under linux/unix than its WinRAR counterpart
[10:46] <NetEcho> ionut_ sweet
[10:47] <ionut_> 7z has better compression ratio / speed the rar
[10:47] <NetEcho> ionut_ is there a gui frontend for this?
[10:47] <NetEcho> or is it command line?
[10:47] <NetEcho> found it in Add/Remove Software btw
[10:47] <NetEcho> err Applications
[10:48] <kazzy> yeah, p7zip is just command line, but there are frontends
[10:48] <ionut_> Ubuntu's default file archiver will recongize the 7z file format after you instlall p7zip
[10:48] <NetEcho> oh sweet
[10:48] <cyber_666_uk> searched google but cant find the difference between sudo and gkseudo, woudl you mind?
[10:48] <kazzy> like peazip
[10:48] <NetEcho> yea I got a 40gb backup that uncompressed takes 2+ hours to transfer over the network
[10:48] <nandu> ionut: I will past the output of both commands
[10:48] <cyber_666_uk> what does the gk do?
[10:48] <nandu> on pastebin.
[10:48] <linuxcooldude> gksu is gui to su?
[10:49] <NetEcho> does 7zip also create a checksum of sorts?
[10:49] <kazzy> daplumpkin: yw. btw, make sure the network card is not an nvidia. they work, but kinda suck, and you may not have enough room for a better one
[10:49] <linuxcooldude> or rather sudo I meant
[10:49] <cyber_666_uk> so sudo only runs in the background?
[10:50] <linuxcooldude> typing gksu brings up popup window to put in root password
[10:50] <nandu> ionut: check the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/264876/ out put of both commands & told me how I install the audio driver.
[10:50] <NetEcho> hrm no compression settings using ubuntu's frontend
[10:50] <ionut_> gksu  is a frontend to su and gksudo is a frontend to sudo
[10:50] <cyber_666_uk> oh i see - great thx linuxcooldude
[10:51] <ionut_> NetEcho you can change compression settings using the command line - 7z
[10:51] <daplumpkin> kazzy: my network connection is intel, but if you're talking about my graphics card it is an nvidia
[10:51] <NetEcho> ah
[10:51] <ionut_> it's very easy...man 7z will get you started
[10:51] <JockyWilson> hi any1 here use XBMC ?
[10:51] <nandu> ionut: u swa output of my both commands
[10:51] <p1oooop1> ubottu: !xbmc
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | JockyWilson
[10:52] <p1oooop1> hey ActionParsnip
[10:52] <p1oooop1> nice to see my mentor again :D
[10:52] <ionut_> nandu form what I see your audio controller is recognized: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> hey p1oooop1
[10:52] <jeeez> am not able to log into ubuntu. i installed KDE a day back. now even though i type the right pwd, nothing happens in the login screen.
[10:53] <ionut_> What version of Ubuntu do you use?
[10:53] <ionut_> @nandu
[10:53] <jeeez> 9.04
[10:53] <jeeez> ah
[10:53] <nandu> 9.04
[10:53] <kazzy> daplumpkin: oh, I did in fact mean the network card. which uses the reverse-engineered 'forcedeth' drivers
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> jeeez: i'd ask in #kubuntu
[10:53] <nandu> ionut: I am using 9.04 version.
[10:53] <ionut_> ok nandu
[10:53] <daplumpkin> kazzy: wow i'm lost now
[10:53] <kazzy> daplumpkin: the nvidia graphics drivers, while a bit crasy, are still far better than anything else
[10:54] <p1oooop1> I agree
[10:54] <kazzy> daplumpkin: you said the NIC is an intel. you're safe
[10:54] <jeeez> ActionParsnip: okay, will try my luck there. but i tried switching the session to Gnome, still nothing happens
[10:54] <p1oooop1> the ATI drivers don't even work for my graphics card
[10:54] <p1oooop1> crashed my Xserver
[10:54] <p1oooop1> :P
[10:54] <nandu> iocut: I dont's see any audio simbol if logging in gui mode.
[10:54] <iDangerMouse> Why did the rubber duckie cross the road ?
[10:54] <ionut_> nandu if you open RhytmBox or mplayer and try to play a file do you get any errors?
[10:54] <daplumpkin> kazzy: great news, i was getting really worried
[10:54] <JockyWilson> XBMC created video playlist (flash videos)  but when I attempt to play "to many errors" the default PAPlayer wont play them
[10:54] <jeeez> iDangerMouse: to get squished?
[10:55] <iDangerMouse> To edit ubuntu
[10:55] <nandu> ionut: wait I will check now.
[10:55] <Nickorz> Would have to convert itself into a penguin first
[10:55] <daplumpkin> kazzy: oh and i'm not using the whole system for ubuntu. i'm going to split it down the middle dual booting then add a VM on the vista side to play with ubuntu on when i have to use windows
[10:55] <NetEcho> ionut_ so 7z -m{Ultra} ?
[10:55] <kazzy> daplumpkin: err, that's a bit odd of a setup
[10:56] <NetEcho> err nm
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> iDangerMouse: if you like funnies (dont run this): sudo find / -name "base" -exec chown us:us {} \;
[10:56] <daplumpkin> kazzy: i had it on my last work computer and loved it. i could play around with the stuff i shouldn't in the VM version which kept my real version on the back side really clean and neat
[10:56] <kazzy> daplumpkin: I've just used a VM in Ubuntu, and just dual booted before, but not both.
[10:57] <kazzy> yeah, that's a good idea
[10:57] <iDangerMouse> ActionParsnip:  Not trying it LOL already crashed my ubuntu re-installing it
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> iDangerMouse: all your base are belong to us
[10:57] <daplumpkin> kazzy: i have to run a couple of web based programs that aren't compatible with any version of linux so i have to keep crappy vista on this one
[10:57] <JockyWilson> Does any1 here use  XBMC for multimedia ?
[10:57]  * iDangerMouse slaps ActionParsnip  help me out here my card reader dosent work :(
[10:57] <daplumpkin> never heard of XBMC
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> !info xbmc
[10:58] <NetEcho> ionut_ how the heck do you set this? the documentation is erratic on it
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> JockyWilson: i'd ask in #xmbc
[10:58] <kazzy> daplumpkin: I assume you also play a lot of new games
[10:58] <ionut_> NetEcho there is a section called examples in the 7z man page
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> iDangerMouse: do you get outputs in: dmesg | tail   when you insert a card into the device/
[10:59] <ionut_> 7z a -t7z -m0=lzma -mx=9 -mfb=64 -md=32m -ms=on archive.7z dir1
[10:59] <ionut_>               adds all files from directory "dir1" to archive archive.7z using "ultra settings
[10:59] <iDangerMouse> No ActionParsnip  :(
[10:59] <daplumpkin> kazzy: oddly enough not on a copmuter. i do tend to multi task a lot though. i play xbox, but nothing on here except the occasional game of solitaire or mah jong
[10:59] <JockyWilson> I asked in official XBMC channel but they are so far up there on a*******
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> iDangerMouse: ok then reboot wit the device attatched and when you get a desktop, read: dmesg | less
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> !xbmc
[10:59] <cyber_666_uk> i knwo this is off topic but can i ask a quick gambas question, the gambas channel is always dead?
[10:59] <JockyWilson> just stuckup smartass comments
[10:59] <ionut_> NetEcho it's very well explained in the manpage, section examples
[10:59] <daplumpkin> !pwner
[10:59] <kazzy> daplumpkin: might as well forgo the real Vista install completely and just use a VM (or two)
[10:59] <iDangerMouse> Okay ActionParsnip  gimmi a bit 20% left to install ubuntu
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> JockyWilson: all i can suggest is set the default player to vlc or somesuch that can handle flv
[11:00] <JockyWilson> txs AP
[11:00] <daplumpkin> kazzy: you mean skip the dual boot? i'm not fully understanding what you were trying to say
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> iDangerMouse: ok, if the device is not seen in that output then try detatching the reader for a while then reattatch, then reread dmesg | tail
[11:00] <iDangerMouse> ok
[11:01] <azlon> i am trying to get my bluetooth on my Mini9 working.. but ubuntu doesnt seem to find it... i just reinstall 9.04 the other day and it was working fine before that. what can i do to enable bluetooth?
[11:01] <kazzy> daplumpkin: yeah. dual boot = 2 copies of Vista and 2 copies of Ubuntu, twice the disk usage
[11:01] <NetEcho> ah I see
[11:02] <daplumpkin> kazzy: oh. i guess i misunderstood what dual botting was then. i thought that was running 1 full version of each
[11:02] <kazzy> daplumpkin: yeah, but didn't you say you were going to install a Vista VM in Ubuntu and an Ubuntu VM in Vista?
[11:02] <kazzy> or did I misread that? I'm a bit drowsy
[11:02] <daplumpkin> no
[11:02] <daplumpkin> just ubuntu on windows
[11:02] <Nickorz> I have used the Live install CD and after updating everything and installing some packages the operating system just does not want to start and sticks on a screen with fuzzy writing (white). Happened twice with two reinstalls (Only happens after installing packages!). Please help :)
[11:03] <daplumpkin> the ubuntu side will be solely ubuntu and i'll put a vm with ubuntu on the vista side
[11:03] <ionut_> Nickorz can you post what error messages you get (use pastebin)
[11:04] <Nickorz> It doesnt even let me type anything in :P
[11:04] <Nickorz> <- Newbie to linux
[11:04] <daplumpkin> be back in a few
[11:04] <daplumpkin> me too Nickorz
[11:04] <daplumpkin> kind of
[11:04] <ionut_> Nickorz you don't have to type anything in the Ubuntu box - just read what it says and write it here
[11:04] <cyber_666_uk> if i want to access a sub from a module, can i just call subname (variables) or is there another way, cos its not recognising it - i get unknown identifier, the sub in the module is marked as public so it should be accessible? thx - again i knwo its off-topic
[11:05] <kazzy> daplumpkin: I'm using Ubuntu with a Vista VM just fine, but that's just me
[11:05] <unop> cyber_666_uk, what language are you talking about?
[11:05] <Nickorz> ionut_ It is all fuzzy and not really in a readable format - Its jittered over the screen and is Red / Purple / Green
[11:05] <cyber_666_uk> sorry gambas
[11:05] <cyber_666_uk> you dont need to do modulename.subname(variables_to_pass) do you?
[11:06] <matu> hi
[11:06] <ionut_> Nickorz that seems like a graphics adapter problem. What graphics card do you have?
[11:06] <matu> please how to enable transmission 1.7.3 in the synaptic repositories ?
[11:06] <unop> cyber_666_uk, you'll have to find the channel/forum where this is supported -- i'm not even certain anyone in here would know how to support that.
[11:06] <Nickorz> ionut_ A Radeon HD 2300 ATI
[11:06] <matu> only the old 1.5.1 version is shown
[11:06] <Nickorz> ionut_ I am on a notebook machine Acer Aspire 5710 Series
[11:06] <cyber_666_uk> well i did ask first - the gambas channel is always dead - nmind thx anyway
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> !info transmission
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> matu: you need a PPA
[11:07] <matu> what does ppa mean ?
[11:07] <ionut_> matu I recommend using Deluge as a torrent client
[11:07] <matu> no i prefer transmsision
[11:07] <NetEcho> I had issues with Deluge
[11:07] <phux> why not rTorrent?
[11:07] <suresh> why not utorrent??
[11:07] <NetEcho> out of all the clients I found I used ktorrent
[11:07] <NetEcho> utorrent doesn't run natively on linux
[11:07] <matu> lol
[11:08] <unop> cyber_666_uk, as a guess and only a guess, i suppose you need to import/include your module first??
[11:08] <kazzy> utorrent is now the official BitTorrent client. Bittorrent sold out to the masses
[11:08] <suresh> then wat abt azerus?
[11:08] <matu> ActionParsnip, i dont know what a ppa is >_<
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> matu: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/anacrolix/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
[11:08] <ionut_> matu you ca try to install the deb packages from karmic: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/transmission
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> matu: http://ppa-search.appspot.com ;)
[11:08] <Wawel> Ya Deluge is impressive.
[11:08] <matu> thank you
[11:09] <cyber_666_uk> not in this language
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> matu: here is the key: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE9E8FF4F73AB42F2
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> matu: put that text in a file then run: sudo apt-key add <file>
[11:09] <NetEcho> kazzy , it because the client of choice since most people like it
[11:09] <matu> please ActionParsnip could you give me the link providing all of these links
[11:09] <NetEcho> I fell in love with it over every client I've ever used
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> matu: http://ppa-search.appspot.com
[11:10] <kazzy> yeah, I know, most people seem to love it

[11:11] <daplumpkin> kazzy: the reason i'm not using just the VM is because you can't take full advantage of the ubuntu capabilities with a free V<
[11:11] <daplumpkin> unless you know of one that does
[11:11] <kazzy> ktorrent is pretty darn good, though
[11:11] <daplumpkin> i haven't used a VM in almost a year
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> kazzy: i use transmission as it talks nice withmy g1 phone
[11:12] <NetEcho> kazzy ktorrent isn't bad, still a few things that could stand changing with the layout but under linux thats what I use
[11:12] <kazzy> daplumpkin: well VirtualBox has OpenGL drivers. You can never use the full capabilities of the host though
[11:12] <daplumpkin> i think i was using tuxdistro
[11:13] <NetEcho> VirtualBox sure is handy tho
[11:13] <___> I am using Pidgin and starting just a day ago, I keep getting kicked off of MSN randomly due to a "Write Error." I need some help.
[11:14] <daplumpkin> gotta restart

[11:17] <kazzy> without network actually cutting out? do you use any other protocols?
[11:17] <___> kazzy, not that I know of, it is just MSN's network
[11:18] <kazzy> do you use any others like XMPP/Yahoo?
[11:18] <Nickorz> Fresh install of Ubuntu latest kernal, updated with auto update. What would a windows user install to make him feel more comfortable in the new OS? And how would he go about finding drivers?

[11:19] <cpt> hi
[11:20] <EDinNY> When I click on a link in an email in Evolution, it jumps to the top of the email and I loose my place.  anyone else see this?
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> Nickorz: most drivers are handled by the kernel or open equivelants
[11:20] <___> kazzy, yes, and my network connection is healthy. It is just MSN that cuts out. I did a little research, oldest ticket for the same problem that I could find was 2006
[11:20] <Nickorz> Except for my graphics one :P
[11:20] <___> kazzy, and their fix didn't help
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> ___: could rename ~/.purple then rerun pidgin

[11:31] <jhattara> what's the easiest way to install a new hard disk drive to a computer with jaunty installed, so that the new hard drive would be mounted to /home ?
[11:31] <___> ActionParsnip, done and done, any ideas? The last ticket on any website based support had the problem placed somewhere between the network communication between ubuntu and MSN's server
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> fahadsadah: i actively uninstall aptitude as well as getdeb and gdebi and all the other useless fluff
[11:31] <fahadsadah> !FSTAB | jhattara
[11:32] <prathap> im unable to play videos in ubuntu
[11:32] <jrib> jhattara: format it, reboot in recovery mode, copy/move files, edit /etc/fstab, reboot
[11:32] <jhattara> should i first format the drive, and move all the files while running a live disk ?

[11:32] <jhattara> jrib, recovery mode is enough ?
[11:32] <jrib> jhattara: yeah, root uses /root, not /home
[11:32] <b3rz3rk3r> hey all i just installed FF3.5 from CLI and noticed that they are still using the dev codename for it and have installed it alongside FF 3.0. Im using Gnome-Do to launch all my apps and hate the fact that i cant launch 3.5 just using"Fire" as you would expect. Can i remove the original 3.0 Ubuntu build without messing up associations, or teach Gnome-Do to launch "Shiretoko" when typing "fire" ?
[11:33] <prathap> fahadsadah: i think its a driver problem of via chipset
[11:33] <webfreakz> b3rz3rk3r: where does /usr/bin/firefox point to?
[11:33] <jhattara> jrib, what command should i use to move the files ? i've understood that mv might break some symbolic links
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> prathap: if you mean dvd you need libdvdcss2 from medibuntu repo
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> prathap: if you mean video files then install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[11:33] <jrib> jhattara: it won't
[11:34] <prathap> ok
[11:34] <b3rz3rk3r> webfreakz, 3.0 im guessing. So i can just point it to Shiretoko your saying?
[11:34] <new_to_linux> I recently installed Jaunty, and the display is huge (icons, fonts, panels etc) with my highest resolution 1024x768 - is there any way to make the display smaller without changing the resolution?
[11:34] <webfreakz> b3rz3rk3r: i guess so, at least that's what i did when installing FF 3.5 from CLI. after that everything worked fine
[11:34] <phux> new_to_linux,  yes
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> new_to_linux: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C display
[11:34] <jhattara> jrib, what about file owners ?
[11:35] <b3rz3rk3r> webfreakz, there are three entires there: firefox, firefox3.0 and firefox3.5
[11:35] <RZX> hi, i've two computer questions. 1. what program will allow me to easily wipe files on ubuntu? 2. how can i install windows xp hebrew if i've the english license? thanks
[11:35] <jrib> jhattara: mv should not affect permissions/ownership
[11:35] <new_to_linux> ActionParsnip: I have the 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> RZX: 2 is answered in ##windows
[11:35] <jhattara> jrib, so first i just format the new hard drive, then i boot in recovery mode, move all the files to the new partition, edit the fstab so that the new hard drive is mounted as /home, reboot, and enjoy my new hard drive ?
[11:35] <ziroday> RZX: 1) take a look at shred 2) ##windows
[11:35] <jrib> jhattara: the issues that you probably heard about are with cp
[11:35] <new_to_linux> phux: can you tell me how?
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> RZX: the files can be deleted using nautilus
[11:36] <webfreakz> b3rz3rk3r: firefox is probably now a symlink (shortcut) to firefox-3.0. Check it out with `file /usr/bin/firefox`. With `sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 /usr/bin/firefox` (or vice-versa) you can change that.
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> webfreakz: you got it the rigt way round
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> webfreakz: you may want to rm the old first
[11:37] <webfreakz> ok :) i'm always confused with the `ln -s` options
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> webfreakz: firefox is just a symlink to firefox-3.0
[11:37] <jrib> jhattara: yeah, something like: mv /home /home.old && mkdir /home && « mount the drive to /home » && mv /home.old/* /home
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> webfreakz: its ln -s <thing to link to> <link>
[11:38] <lb_> I have^H^Hd a problem with the shell (bash). :( I want to traverse a file in a for loop and execute it for every line. But "for LINE in $(cat $FILE);do foo;done" treats every `word' separated by any whitespace as one iteration - and I've found my answer! The variable $IFS holds the field separator. :)
[11:38] <unop> jrib, that won't grab dotfiles though.
[11:38] <jrib> unop: unlikely to be any in /home
[11:38] <jhattara> b3rz3rk3r, one thing you should also change in Shiretoko is to set it identify itself as Firefox, go to about:config with it, search for a string like Shiretoko/3.5.2 and change it to read Firefox/3.5.2
[11:38] <new_to_linux> phux: ?
[11:38] <jrib> unop: but you are right
[11:38] <new_to_linux> ActionParsnip: ?
[11:38] <rakudave> b3rz3rk3r: you could also just edit the menu entry for shiretoko. Right-click on "applications" and select "edit menu"
[11:38] <b3rz3rk3r> webfreakz, think iv found a way. If i edit /usr/bin/firefox with gedit and change the libdir to 3.52 rather than 3.01
[11:38] <unop> lb_,  cat file | while read line; do echo "$line"; done
[11:39] <unop> lb_,  or even better.  while read line; do echo "$line"; done < file
[11:39] <webfreakz> lb_: how does that work with the var $IFS? I still haven't figured it out yet, though I had problems with it just like you
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> new_to_linux: are you surfe you can't go higher than 1024x768?
[11:39] <b3rz3rk3r> webfreakz, that will launch it too right?
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> new_to_linux: you cna change you icon size to be smaller
[11:42] <webfreak1> b3rz3rk3r: had connection troubles. Is it solved yet?
[11:43] <lime_> hello everyone, exist a graphical gui to set the automount on fat32 sda drive???
[11:44] <lime_> i tried to search but with no results
[11:44] <webfreak1> lime_: doesn't `apt-cache search mount gtk` return anything ?
[11:44] <lb_> unop, thanks!
[11:44] <jhattara> b3rz3rk3r, /usr/bin/firefox is just a symbolic link to /usr/bin/firefox-3.0
[11:45] <fahadsadah> Hell, THAT'S a netsplit.
[11:45] <lb_> webfreak1: I only found it in a tutorial elswhere yet, still have to try if it works :)
[11:45] <webfreak1> :D
[11:45] <lime_> no nothing
[11:46] <prathap> lol floodbots are flooding
[11:46] <lime_> i tried with fstab but nothing to do
[11:46] <new_to_linux> ActionParsnip: got dc. any advice?
[11:46] <lime_> now searching for some gui to resolve the problem
[11:46] <b3rz3rk3r> webfreakz, "sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 /usr/bin/firefox" just gives the output that the link exists, rather than overwriting.
[11:46] <new_to_linux> ActionParsnip: got dc. any advice?
[11:46] <b3rz3rk3r> webfreakz, so should i delete it and then run that, or is there something else that i need to do rather?
[11:47] <b3rz3rk3r> heh, that was cool
[11:47] <webfreakz> b3rz3rk3r: you could do " sudo rm /usr/bin/firefox && sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 /usr/bin/firefox "
[11:48] <b3rz3rk3r> webfreakz, which would remove the link and then create it again as 3.5?
[11:48] <webfreakz> yep
[11:48] <b3rz3rk3r> k
[11:48] <b3rz3rk3r> thx
[11:48] <b3rz3rk3r> il try that

[11:48] <noobez> hi guys i cant create a folder in a hd if i check permissions it says "Permissions of "disk" cannot be determined"
[11:48] <webfreakz> it worked for me :)
[11:49] <webfreakz> b3rz3rk3r: if that doesn't change the 'Shiretoko' into Firefox, check your channel log here because an other user pointed out some "About:config" setting for that!
[11:49] <unop> !fsck | noobez
[11:50] <matu> do we need to use iptable to configure the ubuntu firewall ?
[11:50] <ActionParsnip1> noobez: you need to mount it user writable.
[11:50] <matu> s
[11:50] <ActionParsnip1> !firewall| matu
[11:50] <webfreakz> I've got a question myself: why can I only boot into Ubuntu using the recovery mode? The normal mode gives me after the boot-splash an black screen with a blinking cursor in the upperleft corner...?
[11:50] <noobez> ActionParsnip1: i clicked on "Places" and then just clicked on the hd, ive done the same for the other ones and it just mounted them and i do can create folders in them
[11:51] <ActionParsnip1> noobez: can you pastebin the output of: mount
[11:51] <testtickles> AcrtionParsnip1: hey man, dont know if you remember me but it's "Win". I'm in ubuntu live CD..Tried the links...not really working. I dont know where my boot partition is.
[11:51] <jhattara> webfreakz, some websites (e.g. Facebook) check for your user agent quite dilligently and Shiretoko isn't recognized as Firefox by at least FB
[11:52] <ActionParsnip1> jhattara: you can edit it in about:config or install a agent switcher
[11:52] <pshr> FB ?
[11:52] <fahadsadah> FuckBook
[11:52] <ActionParsnip1> facebook
[11:52] <noobez> ActionParsnip1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/264897/
[11:52] <new_to_linux> ActionParsnip: ?
[11:53] <ActionParsnip1> noobez: ok what mount point are you accesing?
[11:53] <ActionParsnip1> new_to_linux: sup
[11:53] <jhattara> ActionParsnip1, i know, i've done that myself, search about:config for Shiretoko and change every instance to Firefox
[11:53] <new_to_linux> ActionParsnip1: any suggestions for making the display smaller?
[11:53] <prathap> still same problem
[11:53] <ActionParsnip1> jhattara: i just use an agent switcher, i can switch when sites dont like firefox
[11:53] <prathap> its coming and going
[11:54] <prathap> i tried every player
[11:54] <noobez> ./media/disk whom name is supposed to be "Archive" since i changed it yesterday with e2label indeed if i open gparted thatz how its named
[11:54] <prathap> same thing

[11:54] <noobez> ActionParsnip1: /media/disk whom name is supposed to be "Archive" since i changed it yesterday with e2label indeed if i open gparted thatz how its named
[11:55] <prathap> ActionParsnip1: how to see that video drivers are installed or not?
[11:55] <b3rz3rk3r> webfreakz, thanks! perfect :)
[11:55] <webfreakz> jhattara: are/were you using firefox-3.5 from Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) or from Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) for that?
[11:55] <webfreakz> b3rz3rk3r: :)
[11:56] <ActionParsnip1> noobez: try: sudo umount /media/disk; sudo mkdir /media/disk; sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /media/disk -t ext3 -o rw,user,uid=1000
[11:56] <ActionParsnip1> prathap: sudo lshw -C display should say what driver is being used
[11:56] <noobez> brb
[11:57] <GrandCouillon> hello, did anyone test sound over hdmi/Intel video card on karmic ?
[11:58] <wild_oscar> hi! is there a problem with Pidgin in Jaunty and Google talk: I can't seem to connect
[11:58] <testtickles> ActionParsnip1: ur pretty busy..got place to help out one more? lol
[11:58] <ActionParsnip1> testtickles: ask the channel
[11:59] <prathap> ActionParsnip1: its saying display unclaimed
[11:59] <jhattara> webfreakz, Jaunty
[11:59] <trothigar> wild_oscar, gtalk working fine for me
[11:59] <testtickles> well I wanna know where GRUB is supposed to be installed...so I can boot into my ubuntu ...I have pastebin
[11:59] <trothigar> testtickles, link please
[11:59] <testtickles> http://pastebin.com/d5b3947ba
[12:00] <webfreakz> jhattara: maybe the jaunty/karmic packages for ff-3.5 are different, and therefor i didn't see any Shiretoko?
[12:00] <ActionParsnip1> testtickles: looks like /dev/sdc
[12:00] <matu> i have this rule in my firewall : 6890/tcp                   ALLOW   Anywhere
[12:00] <matu>  but transmission is still saying me "port is closed"
[12:00] <matu> can you help me to set up this f...irewall please ?
[12:01] <testtickles> ActionParsnip1: would that be sdc1, 2 or 3?
[12:01] <jhattara> webfreakz, afaik Karmic has correct branding for FF3.5
[12:01] <jhattara> webfreakz, Jaunty still uses Shiretoko as the name of FF3.5
[12:01] <matu> the same rule worked in mandriva...
[12:01] <webfreakz> right, ok :)
[12:01] <trothigar> testtickles, none of them
[12:01] <testtickles> ActionParsnip: i tried 3, but nothing happens..win 7 bootloader shows up
[12:01] <trothigar> testtickles, /dev/sdc
[12:02] <ActionParsnip1> testtickles: grub is installed to the boot sector of /dev/sdc which is the drive, the config will be stored on /dev/sdc3 from that look
[12:03] <ActionParsnip1> !grub | testtickles
[12:04] <trothigar> ActionParsnip1, isn't it nice to hear yourself breathe :P
[12:04] <iDangerMouse> ActionParsnip1: so far the updates are installing :)
[12:04] <prathap> !video
[12:05] <testtickles> so i gotta .....mkdir /media/root, mount /dev/sdc3 /media/root, mount /dev/sdc /media/root/boot, sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sdc .
[12:05] <ActionParsnip1> trothigar: ?
[12:05] <ActionParsnip1> iDangerMouse: good lad
[12:06] <StrangePaint> Hello, friends.
[12:06] <StrangePaint> I recently installed ubuntu.
[12:06] <StrangePaint> And I <3 it.
[12:06] <trothigar> ActionParsnip1, it's an english saying suggesting quiet.
[12:07] <prathap> ActionParsnip1: installed restricted pacakges
[12:07] <prathap> nothing changed much
[12:07] <ActionParsnip1> trothigar: i'm british english :D
[12:08] <trothigar> ActionParsnip1, me to :)
[12:08] <trothigar> ActionParsnip1, *too
[12:08] <ActionParsnip1> prathap: new xorg is nice :)
[12:08] <ActionParsnip1> trothigar: Leeds, W Yorks
[12:08] <testtickles> when I tried installing grub, i got "grub-probe: error: Cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map'"
[12:08] <prathap> oh k
[12:08] <trothigar> ActionParsnip1, North Norfolk, but I sense this is off-topic ;)
[12:10] <testtickles> anyone know why i got that error?
[12:10] <bigmack83> in 9.04 my sound works. But when trying to play music in Amarok I get no sound whatsoever. If i go to settings and select the main sound card and test it I hear the test sound. But no Music can be heard. any one know how I can try and get sound working in amarok?
[12:10] <administrator_> when i talk on skype its say problem with audio palyback (ubuntu 9)
[12:10] <And> hello
[12:10] <noobez> ActionParsnip1: yesterday i unfortunately changed superblocks and label on the wrong disk instead of doing it on the other ext3 one, plus i have 2 ntfs hds, how do i perform a fsck on my fs hd and the other ext3 as well at next boot?
[12:11] <ActionParsnip1> bigmack83: do you have mp3 codecs installed?
[12:11] <administrator_> normally audio and vedio play nicely
[12:11] <ActionParsnip1> !fsck | noobez
[12:11] <root> hi
[12:12] <noobez> ActionParsnip1:  yeah i read this before when u posted it what im asking u is: will it perform it on both my ext3 partitions? or just on the one with the os? plus will it not perform it on the ntfs ones? thanks
[12:12] <administrator_> when i call on skype its says problem with audio playback (ubuntu 9)
[12:12] <mrwes> bigmack83, have you checked the volume settings for PCM?
[12:12] <ActionParsnip1> noobez: i think it just does al ext2 and 3 partitions
[12:13] <administrator_> anybody know why ?
[12:13] <noobez> ActionParsnip1: ok cool
[12:13] <SinofEnvy> Hi guys, I tried making a portable pendrive version of Ubuntu 9.04 from Windows using this U904.bat tool (following this semi-tutorial on pendrivelinux.com), I get it to boot but I end up with a shell saying (initramfs), it won't load anything really
[12:14] <SinofEnvy> It gives some errors, saying ata1 and 2 softreset failed, then proceeds to go to this loading screen, then gives a fatal error where it cannot load modules.dep
[12:14] <prathap> How to update to new xorg?
[12:14] <bigmack83> ActionParsnip1 administrator_ , i have gstreamer extra plugins, ubuntu restriced extra apps, which from when i had 8.10 is all I hd installed and was able to listen to mp3's
[12:14] <ActionParsnip1> SinofEnvy: did you md5 test the ISO you used?
[12:14] <SinofEnvy> yes
[12:14] <prathap> im using ubuntu 8.4
[12:14] <noobez> ActionParsnip1: and the FS check only checks it doesnt change anything right? of course just in case something's corrupted it hopefully restores it, but it won't "ruin" anything right? :D im so afraid since yesterday ive done a big mess eheh
[12:14] <prathap> upgrade *
[12:15] <mrwes> bigmack83, right click on the volume control in the notification area and choose 'open volume contro' check the levels across the board to ensure nothing is mutes
[12:15] <ActionParsnip1> noobez: if you boot to recovery root mode you can use more advanced fsck options
[12:15] <mrwes> muted*
[12:15] <ActionParsnip1> SinofEnvy: then try some boot options
[12:15] <SinofEnvy> like?
[12:15] <SinofEnvy> I'd have no clue which ones
[12:15] <ActionParsnip1> !bootoption | SinofEnvy
[12:15] <bigmack83> mrwes, nope theyre all up and not muted.
[12:15] <SinofEnvy> !bootoption
[12:15] <SinofEnvy> Not coming through. or huge delay
[12:15] <SinofEnvy> :p
[12:15] <noobez> ActionParsnip1: how do i do that?
[12:15] <koshie_> Hi everybody
[12:16] <ActionParsnip1> SinofEnvy: click the link ubottu told you, you dont have to rerun the same factoid, thats just a waste of time
[12:16] <SinofEnvy> heh okay.
[12:16] <matu> please can you help me with my firewall ?
[12:16] <testtickles> Can someone please tell me why I am getting this error? http://pastebin.com/d7fbf2873
[12:16] <ActionParsnip1> noobez: esc at boot, boot to recovery mode then select root
[12:16] <SinofEnvy> Didn't see the link
[12:16] <koshie_> matu: don't ask to ask, just ask ^^
[12:16] <matu> transmission is always saying "port closed"
[12:16] <noobez> ok
[12:16] <noobez> thanks
[12:16] <matu> but i did open the port using ufw...
[12:16] <matu> i set up 6890/tcp to open...
[12:17] <ActionParsnip1> matu: make sure you tell the app to always use the same port
[12:17] <matu> i did set 6890 in transmission
[12:18] <bigmack83> I am also able to play mp3's in vlc player if that makes a difference
[12:18] <mrwes> matu, and you checked use UnPnP?
[12:18] <mrwes> er uPnP
[12:18] <matu> i just set up tcp cause only tcp was used using mandriva...

[12:34] <IdleOne> aaron11: ubuntu support discussion only in this channel please
[12:34] <ActionParsnip1> GhostWolfy: use nm-applet
[12:35] <bigmack83> ActionParsnip1, no dice
[12:35] <Halitech> GhostWolfy, if you hit the numlock key twice, does it work?
[12:35] <GhostWolfy> ActionParsnip1, how do i do that??
[12:35] <pshr> GhostWolfy, select appropriate connection in nm-applet
[12:35] <pshr> and proceed
[12:35] <ActionParsnip1> GhostWolfy: use the app to set the network settings you wish
[12:35] <aaron11> do we get banned
[12:35] <GhostWolfy> Halitech, no i got it fixed im on a different issue now
[12:35] <pshr> hell yeah aaron11
[12:35] <IdleOne> aaron11: only if you don't follow the rules
[12:35] <ActionParsnip1> bigmack83: bah
[12:35] <GhostWolfy> ActionParsnip1, ok but is the app part of ubuntu or do i need to install??
[12:35] <ActionParsnip1> bigmack83: could ask in #kubuntu
[12:35] <Halitech> GhostWolfy, ok, didn't see that you had fixed it
[12:35] <bigmack83> ActionParsnip1, i will try purging and reinstalling amarok. maybe that will help
[12:36] <ActionParsnip1> GhostWolfy: its part of a standard install
[12:36] <ActionParsnip1> bigmack83: good call
[12:36] <pshr> GhostWolfy, see the network icon in the top right of your ubuntu
[12:36] <GhostWolfy> Halitech, well it was like 3 minutes when no one answered me
[12:36] <bigmack83> ActionParsnip1, ah ok, will try there. thanks
[12:36] <pshr> thats the nm-applet right ActionParsnip1
[12:36] <aaron11> FloodBot2 i never did anyrhing to you please dont ban me
[12:36] <Halitech> GhostWolfy, are you just trying to get the system online or setup file sharing with another system?
[12:36] <GhostWolfy> pshr you mean the two window type screens next to the audio icon?
[12:36] <ActionParsnip1> pshr: should be
[12:36] <pshr> yup
[12:36] <Halitech> GhostWolfy, sometimes it takes more then a few minutes to get an answer
[12:36] <GhostWolfy> Halitech, im wanting to share files between my nix computer and my windows computer
[12:37] <ActionParsnip1> !info nm-applet
[12:37] <ActionParsnip1> !network
[12:37] <GhostWolfy> Halitech, well i've seen that people don't answer period
[12:37] <Halitech> !samba | GhostWolfy
[12:37] <GhostWolfy> ActionParsnip1, im not using a wireless connection
[12:37] <IdleOne> ActionParsnip1: networkmanager-applet IIRC
[12:37] <Halitech> GhostWolfy, if no one here knows the answer then they won't answer
[12:37] <aaron11> ubottu !supper key
[12:38] <ActionParsnip1> GhostWolfy: its a connection device like any other
[12:38] <ActionParsnip1> IdleOne: sounds right
[12:38] <grawity> aaron11: 'Super' is the key with Windows logo on it (or Tux logo, if you're that much of a geek)
[12:38] <ActionParsnip1> IdleOne: i use the interfaces file, much easier
[12:39] <GhostWolfy> well Halitech in a help room full of people helping users with ubuntu and ignoring someone i think is a bit rude in my book i like to know if someone can or can't help me i come here before i google
[12:39] <aaron11> ubottu supper key is supper key is known as home key in windows
[12:39] <grawity> aaron11: no, it isn't. The Home and Windows keys are totally separate
[12:39] <grawity> aaron11: And ubottu is a bot.
[12:39] <IdleOne> aaron11: #ubuntu-bots if you want to teach the bot something
[12:40] <IdleOne> aaron11: bot=robot. not alive, only knows what we teach it, can not have a discussion with you although many have tried
[12:40] <GhostWolfy> ActionParsnip1, im sorry if im not paying attention since im getting help from 3 different people who are telling me different things
[12:40] <Halitech> GhostWolfy, I can see your point but what would be the point in having over 1000 people tell you they don't know the answer to your question other then creating alot of traffic in the room?
[12:40] <GhostWolfy> Halitech, easier than people keep asking can someone help me multpiple times and getting ticked cause no one is answering them
[12:41] <Halitech> GhostWolfy, thats when you'll end up with someone telling them to be patient
[12:41] <GhostWolfy> if im here over 10 mins and no one has helped then its more than being patient..
[12:41] <GhostWolfy> but thats just my opinion..
[12:42] <GhostWolfy> now back to my other issue
[12:42] <IdleOne> GhostWolfy: if I had to type out I can't help to every question I didn't know the answer to I might as well shut down my computer
[12:42] <Halitech> GhostWolfy, if no one has helped in 10 minutes then no one has an answer for you
[12:42] <uni4dfx> ActionParsnip1, hi there again, we spoke yesterday... since then i've done a documented comparison of browser performance (linux vs win).. please look at the results if you will: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7895929

[12:43] <DDT> Hi. I am just installing xubuntu. I want make partitions manually. What kind and how many partitions I need? one ext3 and one swap? Thx
[12:43] <Halitech> GhostWolfy, did you read the info about samba?
[12:43] <koshie_> DDT: Hi
[12:44] <DDT> hi koshie_
[12:44] <GhostWolfy> Halitech, no cause someone told me that its hard to work or use sorry
[12:44] <root__> people, who have linux backtrack 4???
[12:44] <Halitech> GhostWolfy, if you are using windows and linux, its about the only way to work
[12:44] <koshie_> 10 GB for /, 2x your ram (but more 2GB it's not useful)
[12:44] <GhostWolfy> IdleOne, i understand but if someone can acknowledge it be better than ignoring
[12:44] <IdleOne> GhostWolfy: if a tree falls in a forrest and no one is at the computer to write a script about it/
[12:45] <DDT> koshie_: I have 2 GB ram - but I want run virtual machines on it also.
[12:45] <koshie_> DDT: How much GB do you have on your hard drive DDT ?
[12:45] <root__> I need help
[12:45] <DDT> 160 GB
[12:45] <koshie_> DDT: So... 4GB? You can make 16GO if you want to, but it's not usefull
[12:45] <koshie_> DDT: so, i think
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> too many time if i even comment on a question someone asks.. that person thinks im their 'personal answer source' then they start msging me and  so forth... :P
[12:45] <koshie_> You gonna remove your system in a very long time ?
[12:45] <GuidMorrow> is there a program for Ubuntu that records video from your VHS tapes to DVD?
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> root__:  backtrack has its own support channel.  We dont support 'backtrack' here.
[12:46] <zorael> Can't eclipse be installed without installing OpenJDK? I have Sun's Java installed, and openjdk-6-jre is listed as a dependency for eclipse o.0
[12:46] <DDT> koshie_: so about 2GB swap is good for me?
[12:46] <ActionParsnip1> DDT: if you have enouh ram to run your desired apps you dont need any. 2Gb should be plenty for anyone
[12:46] <koshie_> DDT: You have a lot of GB, so you can make a slice of... 4, or more
[12:46] <IdleOne> DDT: 1.5-2 is good
[12:46] <koshie_> But 2GO it'es good :)
[12:46] <koshie_> GB*
 do you know addres this chanell ??
[12:47] <koshie_> But 2GB it's good*
[12:47] <tvkid> hi, I want to do a dist-upgrade, is there anyway that I can 'checkpoint' the system to easily roll it back in case I run into problems?
[12:47] <koshie_> root__: #backtrack ?
[12:47] <IdleOne> root__: #backtrack
[12:47] <koshie_> ^^
[12:47] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: may I message you just a momment?
[12:47] <DDT> ok, thx people.
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  if ya want to. :) since you are my special friend.
[12:47] <root__> ok? senq
[12:47] <aaron11> FloodBot2 helo helo testing testing
[12:47] <koshie_> tvkid: you can copy your /home i think, on a external hard drive
[12:47] <grawity> root__: Actually, backtrack's channel is #remote-exploit
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> root__:  try reading the backtrack web site/wiki pages...
[12:47] <koshie_> aaron11: you can go to #test
[12:48] <koshie_> DDT: any other question? :)
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> root__:  if you are planing on using backtrack you should get in the habbit of reading their docs/faq/guides.
[12:48] <DDT> koshie_: yes :D
[12:48] <koshie_> :)
[12:48] <IdleOne> aaron11: #ubuntu-bots to play/test the bots please
[12:48] <DDT> koshie_: what kind file system I should make? ext2,3 or4 ? thx
[12:48] <koshie_> I hate ext4
[12:48] <koshie_> Lot of prob' with it
[12:49] <koshie_> Ext2 it's not good for a system's slice
[12:49] <koshie_> Ext3 so :)
[12:49] <DDT> koshie_: I need something I can backup.
[12:49] <guntbert> !enter | koshie_
[12:49] <koshie_> guntbert: sorry :)
[12:49] <DDT> koshie_: I had sysrescue cd once - and It maked backup my old linux. But it was several years ago.
[12:49] <tvkid> koshie_: hmm but then I still have to reconfigure the rest of the system from the scratch right?
[12:50] <koshie_> I don't know tvkid, i've never copy my system... I'm a geek, so it's the one chance to live dangerously :x
[12:51] <koshie_> DDT: For rescue my data, I copy it on an external hard drive
[12:51] <tvkid> koshie_: yeah but it's a running server :)
[12:51] <koshie_> tvkid: ahah :)
[12:51] <koshie_> I can't help you, sorry
[12:51] <tvkid> thanks anyway
[12:51] <koshie_> tvkid: oh
[12:51] <koshie_> rsync tvkid ?
[12:52] <DDT> koshie_: ok, thx I will figure it out.
[12:52] <koshie_> DDT: good luck
[12:52] <Halitech> DDT, use ext3 and look at remastersys
[12:52] <DDT> thx kosie_ and Halitech
[12:52] <koshie_> But DDT, all times I've use ext4, I've lose my system !
[12:52] <koshie_> With ext3 any problem
[12:52] <tvkid> koshie_ :hmm you mean rsync of the total harddrive?
[12:52] <DDT> ok, I will use ext3
[12:52] <koshie_> tvkid: i don't know
[12:53] <rohdef> how do I connect to an unsecure wifi from the console?
[12:53] <koshie_> DDT: but if you want a /boot, I believe ext2 is good.
[12:53] <psycho_oreos> rohdef, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-troubleshoot-wireless-network-connection-in-ubuntu.html
[12:53] <Halitech> DDT, use remastersys to back your base install and then configure rsync to copy day to day data to a seperate drive
[12:54] <rohdef> psycho_oreos, thanks
[12:54] <psycho_oreos> rohdef, nw
[12:55] <koshie_> Does there exist a channel for offtopic :) ?
[12:55] <IdleOne> !ot
[12:55] <DDT> Halitech - ok, I will check remastersys, thx
[12:55] <AceKing> I have 2 machines running Ubuntu 9.04 and have a printer hooked up to one of them. I setup the printer to share on the machine it is hooked to. How do I find the printer from other machine?
[12:55] <koshie_> Like in france ô/
[12:55] <koshie_> Thx
[12:56] <Halitech> AceKing, if you open CUPS on the machine you want to install the printer on it should be able to find the printer thats shared
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> AceKing:  run the printer config tool it should find the other one, my ubuntu boxs sort of set the printers up automatically for me that way
[12:56] <Amnesia> hi, is there anyone over here that has any knowledge of servers?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> cups is smart abotu that.
[12:56] <Halitech> AceKing, http://localhost:631
[12:56] <phux> Amnesia, yes?
[12:56] <koshie_> Amnesia: don't ask to ask, just ask
[12:56] <koshie_> :)
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> Amnesia:  you mught want to clarify/detail that a bit more
[12:56] <Amnesia> yeah its a theoretical question:p
[12:57] <AceKing> Thanks all, I'll give it a shot
[12:57] <phux> Go ahead
[12:57] <Amnesia> what in case you have a server with 2 nics
[12:57] <Amnesia> eth0 gets an ip from the dhcp server from the dhcp
[12:57] <Amnesia> and eth1 is going to be used for the dhcp server
[12:58] <Amnesia> how would I be able to get the clients connected to my dhcp server, to get the possibility to browse the net
[12:58] <Amnesia> so with other words how do I connect a dhcp server to the net and share an internet connection?
[12:58] <Halitech> !ics | Amnesia
[12:59] <Amnesia> I'd need the server to act as a gateway right?
[12:59] <phux> Yes
[12:59] <Amnesia> but how's this done @ linux?
[13:00] <phux> Want a tutorial?
[13:00] <Amnesia> mm sure if it'd be possible
[13:00] <phux> Linux DHCP Server Configuration:
[13:00] <phux> http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/DHCP-Server.html
[13:00] <Amnesia> I've got dhcp working already
[13:01] <Amnesia> though its only local
[13:01] <phux> http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu6.10_firewall_gateway
[13:01] <phux> even better
[13:01] <phux> allthough 6.10
[13:01] <FloodBot2> phux: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:01] <Amnesia> I'm working virtually since I havent got a physical server
[13:01] <Amnesia> so I've got to vms
[13:01] <geoff_> hello - I have just installed 8.10 Intrepid
[13:01] <Amnesia> the server has one nic which runs dhcp, and the other is connected to my nat
[13:02] <aethelrick> hi geoff_
[13:03] <geoff_> I am having a major problem with the monitor which is not syncing at all.
[13:03] <AceKing> Halitech: Dr_Willis: Thank you, worked like a charm!
[13:03] <logok> we
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> AceKing:  err.. what did? :)
[13:03] <logok> hai\
[13:03] <AceKing> Dr_willis: Printer setup
[13:03] <geoff_> I clearly need to change the settings in system preferences for the screen resolution.
[13:03] <Amnesia> phux: any possibility that that'll work?
[13:04] <geoff_> The keyboard is functional.  When the system starts to boot the display is perfect.  After login the problems start.
[13:06] <geoff_> My question is this: using only the keyboard how do I change the system preferences to get a stable monitor?
[13:06] <cyber_666_uk> anyone know if sqlite has a GUI for ubuntu?
[13:08] <koshie_> I think I've find cyber_666_uk
[13:08] <koshie_> http://rsqlitegui.rubyforge.org/
[13:08] <koshie_> Two second on the web ^^
[13:08] <aethelrick> http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/
[13:09] <cyber_666_uk> so silly of me - thx
[13:09] <koshie_> cyber_666_uk: ^^
[13:09] <koshie_> I'm like you
[13:09] <koshie_> lazy ô/
[13:11] <Amnesia> aethelrick: sorry I didnt notice your pm
[13:12] <cyber_666_uk> ah i did a apt-get for sqlite but i see on synaptic there is a sqlite3 - they coulda said... lol
[13:13] <koshie_> cyber_666_uk: what is the problem ?
[13:13] <Curly_Q> Geoff try looking at this website for some insight:      http://books.google.com/books?id=siVu0MpDjHcC&pg=PA173&lpg=PA173&dq=video+settings+by+keyboard&source=bl&ots=P7O3g9JhBg&sig=fQSxdweKhCj2CvNRSFCFomIDCKQ&hl=en&ei=AAShSrvxFsLJlAe7mMWHDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10#v=onepage&q=video%20settings%20by%20keyboard&f=false
[13:14] <koshie_> The release of the package ?
[13:14] <cyber_666_uk> no problem :)
[13:14] <koshie_> Oh okay :)
[13:14] <koshie_> (I'm not english, some times I don't understand everything ^^)
[13:14] <cyber_666_uk> just i cant tell the latest version without looking online is all - but im still chuffed
[13:14] <cyber_666_uk> thats ok koshie - sometimes i dont explain everything :)
[13:15] <koshie_> But you speak english :D !
[13:15] <koshie_> And me just at school.
[13:15] <Al2> what program would by the best to run my technika webcam?
[13:15] <koshie_> Al2: cheese on GNOME.
[13:15] <koshie_> I think
[13:15] <Al2> do u think?
[13:15] <koshie_> i like this software
[13:15] <koshie_> try it !
[13:16] <koshie_> It's for what ? Picture and video ?
[13:16] <SinofEnvy> Question, why does service --status-all | grep "boot" still put out the entire list of services? I've got little experience with ubuntu but I thought I should be able to do it like this :p
[13:17] <grawity> SinofEnvy: Try using service --status-all 2>&1 | grep "boot"
[13:17] <etbl> how can i see the contents of a deb file from the commandline?
[13:17] <koshie_> show ?
[13:17] <SnowyCheetah750> i have ubuntu 9.04 installed. i want to install Windows to another hard drive in the computer. can i do that without overwriting ubuntu, and getting it to ask me which OS to boot into every time i start the computer?
[13:17] <SinofEnvy> why 2>&1?
[13:17] <Curly_Q> Because you did a grep all. just try the service -status
[13:17] <dz-attacker> boot
[13:17] <Al2>  koshie_:  i try. thanks
[13:17] <SinofEnvy> what does that do
[13:17] <cyber_666_uk> maybe a silly question (but..) is there a way to enable CTRL + C & CTRL + V inside the termial window? thx
[13:17] <grawity> SinofEnvy: All Unix programs have at least three "streams": stdin - input (your keyboard), stdout - output, and stderr - output but for errors.
[13:17] <b3rz3rk3r> cyber_666_uk, just use: Crtl+Shift+ V
[13:17] <dz-attacker> hi every body
[13:17] <Curly_Q> All means everything.
[13:18] <cyber_666_uk> oh
[13:18] <cyber_666_uk> lol
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> that service command is a little odd.....
[13:18] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, dpkg -L <deb filename>
[13:18] <b3rz3rk3r> cyber_666_uk, np ;p
[13:18] <^mNotIntelligent> !hi | dz-attacker
[13:18] <grawity> SinofEnvy: Usually, error messages are written to stderr, so they're displayed even if stdout is redirected somewhere (in your example, stdout is sent to grep's stdin)
[13:18] <garrp> hi, any one know how to make the wicd to connct to wireless with WPE?
[13:19] <Curly_Q> Greets to Dr_Willis. How are you today. Nice to see you again. :)
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> Hay Curly_Q
[13:19] <grawity> garrp: There is no WPE. There are only WEP and WPA. (And WPA2)
[13:19] <etbl> ^mNotIntelligent: can i actually view the contents of files in the deb?
[13:19] <garrp> je, sorry,. wep
[13:19] <koshie_> garrp: run wicd, find your wireless, type your password... :p
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> that service command seems to be using the stderr  to print out its info.. not stdout (i think i got that right)
[13:19] <webfreakz> etbl: yes
[13:19] <etbl> webfreakz: how?
[13:19] <webfreakz> i only know there's some GUI app for that
[13:20] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, i guess not. you can only see the list of files,,,
[13:20] <webfreakz> just double click the .deb file
[13:20] <garrp> ja, the problem is that it works with wpa and wpa2, but not with wep
[13:20] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, for that you have to extract/unpack the deb, else its not possible
[13:20] <etbl> webfreakz: i'm on server edition
[13:20] <^mNotIntelligent> webfreakz, cllicking simulates unpacking, right?
[13:20] <Halitech> cyber_666_uk, use ctrl + shift + V or C in a terminal
[13:20] <webfreakz> oh, my bad
[13:20] <zorael> Is there a command to download a package with its dependencies from repositories, preferably to the current folder and not the apt cache?
[13:21] <etbl> ^mNotIntelligent: how do i unpack the deb?
[13:21] <etbl> (from the cmdline)
[13:21] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, use dpkg -X command
[13:21] <Curly_Q> Where are you from Dr_Willis? I am from Massachusetts U.S.A.  M.I.T.  ?
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> In indiana.
[13:21] <Curly_Q> Nice.
[13:21] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, its dpkg -x <deb file>
[13:21] <Curly_Q> What do you do for a living?
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> I work for Chrysler.
[13:22] <etbl> ^mNotIntelligent: now, will that have any effect on the state of my system, other than having created a few files where the deb got unpacked to?
[13:22] <Curly_Q> I see. Do you program their computers?
[13:22]  * Dr_Willis lives on IRC it seems :)
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> Curly_Q:  nope. :) dont touch the things.
[13:22] <Curly_Q> I.e., robotics?
[13:22] <Curly_Q> OK.
[13:22] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, nopes...no changes to your existing system
[13:23] <etbl> ok
[13:23] <webfreakz> I'm sorry for you :P
[13:23] <etbl> will it just unpack to $PWD?
[13:23] <Curly_Q> I have an internship with a CISCO Networking Academy here and have been enrolled for about 5 years now.
[13:24] <etbl> Dr_Willis: what /do/ you do?  now you've got me curious. :)
[13:24] <Paavi2_0> !ot
[13:24] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, i think you can provide a directory you want to unpack to....
[13:24] <Curly_Q> I teach A+ and Microsoft and Linux stuff and Electronics and Electrical Engineering.
[13:24] <etbl> ^mNotIntelligent: how?
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> heh - chatting about work in #puppylinux now. :) fun
[13:24] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, wait a min. lemme check the dpkg man page
[13:26] <Polterge|st> Dr_Willis, I have heard a few good thinks about Puppy Linux ... what is your take on that ?
[13:26] <innomen> hey guys, is there an app that will allow em to map gamepad buttons to keys?
[13:26] <^mNotIntelligent> etbl, its pretty simple: dpkg -x <deb file> <dir name>
[13:26] <Al2> Ok Cheese is not workin with my webcam, any other sugestion what could i do?
[13:27] <zorael> Is there a command to download a package with its dependencies from repositories, and not install it?
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> Polterge|st:  it works :)
[13:27] <b3rz3rk3r> is there a way to ignore dependencies when installing things?
[13:27] <Polterge|st> cool
[13:27] <Polterge|st> hehe
[13:27] <innomen> b3rz3rk3r, thats a good question, bump
[13:28] <^mNotIntelligent> b3rz3rk3r, thats disastrous
[13:28] <Slart_> zorael: you could use the synaptic, create download script for that
[13:28] <zorael> b3rz3rk3r: I'm trying to do the same thing, heh
[13:28] <innomen> ^mNotIntelligent, is that a yes or a no?
[13:28] <Slart_> zorael: but I don't think there is a apt command or such.
[13:28] <b3rz3rk3r> ^mNotIntelligent, i cant think of any other way around this though.. trying to get Spring working, but its wants to remove a host of packages that i want to keep
[13:28] <zorael> Slart_: ah, bleh. preferably looking for a terminal command, haven't got Synaptic installed
[13:29] <SnowyCheetah750> hello? can anyone help me with installing windows as a second OS to a system which has ubuntu?
[13:29] <^mNotIntelligent> innomen, afaik you can force install avoiding dependencies
[13:29] <b3rz3rk3r> !dualboot | SnowyCheetah750
[13:29] <innomen> b3rz3rk3r, don't bother, typically the people that tell you you shouldent want ot do something don't know how to do it, in my experiance anyway and there are always exceptions
[13:29] <innomen> ^mNotIntelligent, well cool then, share with the class please :)
[13:29] <zorael> ^mNotIntelligent: Likewise I want to install eclipse in Karmic, and it *depends* on OpenJDK instead of on java1-runtime or java2-runtime, so Sun's Java can't fill that dependency
[13:29] <SnowyCheetah750> dual booting is running both at the same time, right?
[13:30] <Slart_> zorael: ah.. then I don't really know how to do it.. one would think that a similar feature would be available using apt but I haven't run into it so far
[13:30] <zorael> I think you can let dpkg --force-dependency, but you'd need the .debs
[13:30] <viglim> hi
[13:30] <innomen> SnowyCheetah750, yea, selecet at start up
[13:30] <b3rz3rk3r> SnowyCheetah750, its what you asked for, yes
[13:30] <nitroman70> hi
[13:30] <SnowyCheetah750> ok
[13:30] <^mNotIntelligent> b3rz3rk3r, in that case you can just get rid of the package you want avoiding others that you dont want to uninstall
[13:30] <viglim> mm, who can know, why WINE don't play sounds?
[13:31] <cyber_666_uk> doesnt sqlite support more than 4 data types?
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> wine has some issues with pulse audio in some cases i hear
[13:31] <cyber_666_uk> theres nothing for dealing with dates? or am i missing something?
[13:31] <^mNotIntelligent> zorael, may be you can do some tweaks/hacks and make eclipse use/depend on the verson of java run time you want...
[13:31] <viglim> neither alsa nor oss doesn't working :(
[13:32] <innomen> Dr_Willis, i was haveing pulse audio alsa issues wit both 32 bit ubuntu and fedora, 32 and 64. i dont know what to blame, pulse audio or alsa, maybe both heh
[13:32] <^mNotIntelligent> innomen, wait a min...lemme check
[13:32] <b3rz3rk3r> ^mNotIntelligent, ok its "libtorrentraster2" but that is required for about 5-6 other programs that i use, if it were just my torrent client (deluge) then i would switch, but its not. So i was looking to force install Spring ignoring this one lib, in the hopes that it would work?
[13:32] <zorael> ^mNotIntelligent: Yeah, but OpenJDK would still install and take up disk space
[13:32] <zorael> I'm almost positive Eclipse will use Sun's if I managed to just get it installed
[13:33] <viglim> system plays sound normally, but in winecfg -> audio i see "default" instead the name of soun card, what can it be?
[13:33] <zorael> but Karmic's eclipse-platform package wants openjdk-6-jre, Jaunty's wanted java1-runtime or java2-runtime or java-cjg-compat
[13:33] <innomen> b3rz3rk3r, it would also be useful for older apps that depand packages by old names whos functions are provided by other packages not in the dependancy list
[13:33] <^mNotIntelligent> zorael, i can not assure you that my mentioned approach is going to work in your case as well..but that does work quite often...
[13:33] <viglim> mb, i need some drivers?
[13:33] <b3rz3rk3r> innomen, yes it would
[13:33] <Al2> i have a problem to run my new webcam. Any help?
[13:34] <^mNotIntelligent> zorael, it will not get installed if you can make it use your flavor of java...
[13:34] <innomen> b3rz3rk3r, projectm while not exactly an older program did that, it asked for older versions of things
[13:34] <^mNotIntelligent> Al2, go ahead
[13:34] <etbl> !ask | Al2
[13:34] <zorael> ^mNotIntelligent: I
[13:34] <zorael> er
[13:34] <CodeFire> My linuxdcpp crashes every now and then, what do i do to solve the problem?
[13:34] <Al2> i have a technika webcam
[13:34] <viglim> can anyone help?
[13:35] <^mNotIntelligent> viglim, yep
[13:35] <viglim> i haven't sound in wine, what can it be?
[13:35] <zorael> ^mNotIntelligent: I can install it and make it use my flavor of Java, but not without installing OpenJDK at the same time, despite it not being needed (since Eclipse would use Sun's). So it's not a dependency - the real dependency is having *any* JRE - and I suspect this is a packaging mistake that I'm looking to circumvent
[13:35] <Al2> ^mNotIntelligentit: have a responze on dmesg, but can't make it workin
[13:36] <innomen> well, guess no gamers in here at the moment, i'll try again later, good luck b3rz3rk3r, have a sweet day everyone
[13:36] <Raging_Hog> zorael, I'm not an expert but you can use aptitude search "~Dpackage_name" to search for dependencies, and aptitude download to get the .debs. that would need a little script to run the search on all the depending packages too, I think
[13:36] <innomen> :)
[13:36] <Kaan> selam hello
[13:36] <viglim> sound card: SB Live! 5.1, in system it works normally, but in wine applications i hear silent only
[13:36] <zorael> Raging_Hog: aptitude download was exactly what I was looking for, thanks :3
[13:36] <^mNotIntelligent> zorael, thats quite possible....try Raging_Hog's advice...
[13:36]  * Dr_Willis wonders how you 'hear silence' :)
[13:37] <Dumb0> Kaan, waalaycom salam
[13:37] <^mNotIntelligent> Kaan, hello
[13:37] <Kaan> do your speak Turkhis?
[13:38] <Raging_Hog> zorael, I also somehow stumbled upon this, haven't read it tho  http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/07/24/howto-download-packages-and-dependencies-for-offline-installation/
[13:38] <jrib> zorael: don't you want to edit the source package?
[13:38] <kiaas_> Hmm. I installed xubuntu a while ago (8.04) and am using it as a server mostly. It's on a small 9GB HDD, with a larger storage drive. I -mostly- control it through the CLI, but occasionally I start xvnc and use the GUI, anything installed by default I can remove?
[13:38] <CodeFire> Hello
[13:39] <Kaan> How are your?
[13:39] <GuidMorrow> is there a program for Ubuntu that records video from your VHS tapes to DVD?
[13:39] <viglim> mb, i don't speak english wery good// so, i couldn't do it with sound settings and winecfg. maybe i need some drivers (ubuntu 904)?
[13:39] <zorael> jrib: and rebuild it? If need be, perhaps, but wouldn't merely forcing it to install (dpkg --force-depends) everything except OpenJDK (after having downloaded the debs) just do the trick?
[13:39] <jrib> zorael: pretty sure apt would complain that desp are not satisfied if the package does actually depend on the openjdk package
[13:40] <jrib> zorael: anyway the responsible thing to do is fix the bug :)
[13:40] <DefineByte> In the upgrade from intrepid to jaunty my remote control has started misbehaving. Most buttons work but some don't. I think the ones that don't work are the ones I've set to send non-printable characters, e.g. carriage return (\r). Anyone know of any changes that might have affected it? irw shows the buttons are working and still sending the same commands. This is with lirc, irpty, mpd and ncmpc.. phew. :)
[13:40] <zorael> jrib: I haven't had anyone at #ubuntu-motu respond yet :3
[13:41] <jrib> zorael: what package are you looking at exactly?
[13:41] <Kaan> director whereto find?
[13:42] <^mNotIntelligent> GuidMorrow, never heard of something like this. did you google, btw?
[13:42] <zorael> jrib: eclipse-platform
[13:42] <zorael> jrib: Compare http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/eclipse-platform and http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/eclipse-platform
[13:43] <zorael> jrib: Jaunty's depends on the virtual java-runtime packages that can be satisfied by several JREs, Karmic's just depends on OpenJDK
[13:43] <jrib> zorael: do all the depends for the karmic package exist in jaunty?
[13:44] <Kaan> Authority here to find???
[13:44] <jrib> zorael: you can probably just try to build the karmic package from source and use that if they do
[13:45] <zorael> jrib: Extra lol; eclipse-platform depends on *Firefox*
[13:45] <Al2> I have a problem tu run my new webcam technika. Please help
[13:45] <zorael> I seriously don't believe the app needs Firefox
[13:45] <zorael> (Karmic's)
[13:45] <jrib> zorael: just use vim, dependencies are easier :)
[13:46] <^mNotIntelligent> Al2, did you google on the same prob?
[13:46] <Al2> ^mNotIntelligent: no
[13:46] <zorael> jrib: I just want to use something that automates as much as possible until I get used to the language ;3
[13:47] <zorael> I have netbeans installed, but I've used eclipse earlier and prefer that
[13:47] <jrib> zorael:
[13:48] <jrib> zorael: assuming you are a vim fan... http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1213 ?
[13:48] <^mNotIntelligent> Al2, please try that first...you may not get the exact response to your query unless you find someone out here who is aware of that.....though you may get some hints on how to fix that in the other case...so better google it out as the first step...then ask here...that way you can quickly fix the problem
[13:48] <jrib> zorael: you know how to build the karmic package from source?
[13:48] <Al2> ^mNotIntelligent: thx
[13:49] <Lenin_Cat> whne ever I start up xorg my resolution is out of range, how do I fix this without having to always go to the buggy desply setting GUI at every boot up
[13:49] <^mNotIntelligent> Al2, no probs dude...
[13:49]  * Raging_Hog rages more than usual if he has to use some other editor than vim
[13:50] <DefineByte> anyone here using irpty?
[13:50] <zorael> jrib: I think so, yeah. fetch source with build-dep, (modify as I please), then debuild or checkinstall or dpkg-buildpackage
[13:50] <Lenin_Cat> !info irpty
[13:50] <zorael> jrib: er, fetch source with apt-get source, fetch dependencies with build-dep*
[13:50] <^mNotIntelligent> brb!
[13:50] <jrib> zorael: right, if you do it that way, just remember to change the deb-src lines to point to karmic
[13:51] <DefineByte> irpty doesn't exist? Am I supposed to use something else?
[13:52] <ro0> Hi all" Can someone post me his/her grub.conf plz? That would be realy nice :)
[13:52] <zorael> jrib: I'm running Karmic, so they already do. (the question I asked here instead of #ubuntu+1 was on how to download packages, so figured it wasn't Karmic-specific enough to warrant it being asked there)
[13:52] <jrib> zorael: ah, I see
[13:53] <jrib> ro0: why...?
[13:54] <DefineByte> hmm looking it up, irpty does seem to still come with lirc.
[13:55] <DefineByte> so it's obviously not that simple
[13:55] <DefineByte> anyway, most buttons still do work
[13:56] <Lenin_Cat> !info irpty
[13:56] <Lenin_Cat> whne ever I start up xorg my resolution is out of range, how do I fix this without having to always go to the buggy desply setting GUI at every boot up
[13:57] <DefineByte> ubuntu.com disagrees
[13:57] <DefineByte> i think
[13:57] <DefineByte> hmm
[13:58] <DefineByte> maybe it was removed because it wasn't working properly. >.<
[13:58] <sssept> \\seven
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> or lack of a maintainer
[14:00] <DefineByte> i have got it installed though (must of stuck around). it's just not working quite right.
[14:01] <DefineByte> no just checked, irpty is definitely in the lirc package with jaunty :)
[14:01] <DefineByte> http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/lirc/filelist
[14:01] <DefineByte> back to square one
[14:02] <big-bro> G'day world - updated to 9.04 jaunty last week and i do not have any sound on my firefox browser
[14:02] <OctalGenesis> hi
[14:03] <calwig> does anyone know what the intel wireless channel is?
[14:03] <ActionParsnip1> yo yo yo
[14:04] <DefineByte> big-bro do you mean you don't get any sound with flash content or everything?
[14:04] <calwig> !wifi
[14:04] <big-bro> basically everything - even the start up sound does not work
[14:06] <DefineByte> you mean you don't have sound system wide? i thought it was just firefox
[14:06] <calwig> Does anyone know where I can find informaiton about intel wireless 3945
[14:06] <v4vijayakumar> Hi, I removed pidgin notification icon from top panel. Is there any way to bring it back ? (drag-n-drop pidgin here is not the same)
[14:07] <big-bro> it was everything - but i can listen to files from my folders now, but i cannot hear anything whilst using the browser
[14:07] <B|ackPanther> what is the initial priority of user processes ?
[14:07] <ActionParsnip1> calwig: try: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty-generic
[14:07] <Slart_> BlackCow: 0, I think
[14:07] <ActionParsnip1> calwig: if you are using jaunty
[14:08] <Slart_> BlackCow: but that should be easy to test.. just run something that waits for input and use htop/top to check the prio
[14:08] <ActionParsnip1> calwig: http://linuxtechie.wordpress.com/2008/04/24/making-intel-wireless-3945abg-work-better-on-ubuntu-hardy/   replace all you read on that page with jaunty, not hardy
[14:08] <ActionParsnip1> calwig: or whatever release you are usin
[14:08] <Slart_> BlackCow: or wait.. priority 20, niceness 0
[14:10] <etbl> is there a way to have `diff` do a 3-way comparison?
[14:10] <truehandle> morning all
[14:11] <Slart_> etbl: try using diff3
[14:11] <etbl> Slart_: isntalled by default?
[14:11] <DefineByte> big-bro: sorry, haven't encountered that.
[14:12] <Slart_> !info diff
[14:12] <v4vijayakumar> anyone ? (2) I removed pidgin notification icon from top panel. Is there any way to bring it back ? (drag-n-drop pidgin here is not the same)
[14:12] <Slart_> etbl: I think so.. it's included in the "diff" package.. and I think that's installed by default
[14:12] <ActionParsnip1> v4vijayakumar: if you right click the panel then select add to pane is it there?
[14:12] <bawtboi1> does anyone know an alternative file manager I can run on WINE?
[14:12] <bawtboi1> the WINE File Manager hangs on my Ubuntu
[14:13] <etbl> Slart_: yeah, its there.  what's the deal with the --diff-program parameter?
[14:13] <tawt> can someone help me figure this out?  as soon as i started up my laptop, conky has said that i've been downloading something from my eth0 connection at a speed of 1500kb/s.  but the processes don't have anything eating up a lot of cpu or memory.  how can i figure out what is doing this?
[14:13] <etbl> can i use a custom command there?
[14:13] <v4vijayakumar> ActionParsnip1: yes
[14:13] <ActionParsnip1> bawtboi1: http://www.simplehelp.net/2006/10/11/10-windows-explorer-alternatives-compared-and-reviewed/
[14:13] <ActionParsnip1> v4vijayakumar: then add it and you should be ok. I dont use it myself but usually stuff is added that way
[14:13] <big-bro> DefineByte - i went into system - sounds and changed everything to OSS to recieve sound from my files, but , not sure what i have to do to recieve sound through the browser
[14:14] <etbl> Slart_: eg: diff3 --diff-program='diff -y --suppress-common-lines' file1 file2 file3
[14:14] <Slart_> etbl: not really sure.. but I'm guessing you can do some other diff-software to do the actual comparing.. not sure though.. haven't played around with it
[14:14] <ActionParsnip1> bawtboi1: check the appdb list for compatibilit
[14:15] <bawtboi1> thanks
[14:16] <v4vijayakumar> ActionParsnip1: got it. what I removed is indicator applet. now, added that back
[14:16] <ActionParsnip1> bawtboi1: wy do you need a file browser for wine?
[14:16] <ActionParsnip1> v4vijayakumar: cool
[14:16] <jiohdi> I think I have been hacked... this morning, signed into my other machine, no desktop panels no network connection, everything else ok.... how do I restore?  gnome failsafe works
[14:16] <ActionParsnip1> !fixpanel
[14:16] <Pici> !resetpanels
[14:17] <ActionParsnip1> Pici: cheers
[14:18] <ActionParsnip1> jiohdi: has that sorted it?
[14:18] <jiohdi> will the same thing work for Xfce?
[14:18] <ActionParsnip1> jiohdi: erm i think so yeah
[14:18] <jiohdi> action, I cannot check at the moment, at work, will try on break
[14:19] <ActionParsnip1> jiohdi: use tab to complete my nick ;)
[14:19] <jiohdi> ActionParsnip1: sorry :)
[14:19] <ActionParsnip1> jiohdi: np bro
[14:19] <jiohdi> can someone do that much damage over irc to my system?
[14:19] <etbl> I'm getting "this version of vim was not compiled with the diff feature"
[14:19] <jiohdi> my network connection is not working either, how do I fix that?
[14:19] <etbl> what package do i need to install in order to correct that?
[14:20] <ActionParsnip1> jiohdi: wired or wireless?
[14:20] <grawity> etbl: vim-full, probably.
[14:20] <jiohdi> wired
[14:20] <etbl> grawity: will that install a gui/x-server?
[14:20] <grawity> jiohdi: No, nobody can access your computer over IRC.
[14:20] <tyfj> where to find settings for evince, thank you.
[14:20] <bawtboi1> haha.. access over IRC
[14:20] <grawity> etbl: You're on a server? vim-nox then, maybe.
[14:20] <ActionParsnip1> jiohdi: possibly if they can capture the service they cacapture the rights of the process, hence why running irc as root is as dumb as it gets
[14:20] <bawtboi1> that would be cool
[14:20] <liuliu> hi
[14:21] <grawity> jiohdi: UNLESS you tend to accept every .exe someone sends to you.
[14:21] <jiohdi> ActionParsnip1: I do not run it as root as far as I know
[14:21] <grawity> bawtboi1: It isn't anything new. Google for "mIRC remote code execution exploits"
[14:21] <ActionParsnip1> jiohdi: if you run: whoami    it wil tell you
[14:21] <pyRunner> Hi I'm having some problems with dualbooting an installation with Grub
[14:21] <jiohdi> grawity, I have accepted nothing .exe so how could all my start up scripts become so corrupted?
[14:21] <grawity> jiohdi: I don't know. But I am sure it is not related to you being on IRC.
[14:21] <tyfj> I configure evince to work with vi-like key binding, but forget where I did it.
[14:22] <ActionParsnip1> jiohdi: if you run: ifconfig eth0    you should have an ip address assigned by dhcp, if not then check connections. You can also run: sudo lshw -C network to see what chip it uses and diagnose using websearches
[14:22] <padi999> hi
[14:22] <DefineByte> big-bro: never used oss so i don't know how to get that working.
[14:22] <jiohdi> ActionParsnip1:  I ran gnome-failsafe and the network connection works just fine
[14:23] <roy_1> ACan anybody help me with BSNL Dataone connection problems in ubuntu?
[14:23] <DefineByte> irpty seems to be working in everything except ncmpc so I guess I'll have to start looking at that.
[14:23] <padi999> how can I set, that vsftpd only allows 3 password attempts and then blocks for eg. an hour to discourage brute force attacks?
[14:24] <ActionParsnip1> jiohdi: then you will need to find out what you can and cant do using various pings to see what you can and cannot do
[14:24] <pyRunner> any grub experts here?
[14:24] <jiohdi> Action, it says network disabled
[14:24] <ActionParsnip1> jiohdi: you may need to use gconf to apply settings
[14:24] <jiohdi> since fail safe works, it should be a corrupt start up file, no?
[14:24] <Guest18893> hello everyone.
[14:25] <big-bro> no worries DefineByte .. i think it might have something to do with flash maybe...thanks anyway.
[14:25] <roy_1> any help with bsnl dataone?
[14:26] <Guest18893> What is the meaning of life?
[14:26] <pyRunner> my grub loader won't load my ubuntu kernel but has no problem with Windows
[14:26] <DefineByte> big-bro is it was back in the hardy days I'd say install libflashsupport but everything's supposed to "just work" now. xD
[14:26] <DefineByte> if it was/
[14:26] <roy_1> hello.......... :(
[14:26] <bazhang> Guest18893, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:26] <ActionParsnip1> !patience | roy_1
[14:27] <big-bro> ok..will i obtain libflashsupport from my packet manager?
[14:27] <roy_1> ok :( I just called the ISP and they have no damn idea about linux :(
[14:28] <ActionParsnip1> roy_1: thats common
[14:28] <DefineByte> big-bro: no, because it only works with hardy afaik
[14:28] <sipior> padi999: have a look here: http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html , see what options are available to you.
[14:28] <ActionParsnip1> roy_1: how does the modem connect?
[14:28] <DefineByte> we are going back a bit
[14:28] <roy_1> ADSL3 Nokia Siemens c2110
[14:28] <Halabund> Hello!  Is it possible to get Ubuntu to mount a certain NTFS partition automatically on startup?
[14:28] <roy_1> sorry adsl2
[14:28] <ActionParsnip1> roy_1: i ddnt ask that.
[14:28] <ActionParsnip1> roy_1: how does the modem connect to your pc
[14:29] <big-bro> so the only option i can see is reloading hardy then..
[14:29] <EagleScreen> Halabund, it is possible
[14:29] <jrib> !ntfs | Halabund
[14:29] <sipior> Halabund: sure, you can add a line to /etc/fstab, being sure to specify the "auto" flag
[14:30] <roy_1> It was bridged requiring  manual dialup-like user/pass from os but I changed it to pppoe inside modem /always on and now all I need to do (from xp) is connect the lan
[14:30] <roy_1> OH... LAN
[14:30] <ActionParsnip1> roy_1: ok so the modem connects from the modem directly to the ethernet port on your PC?
[14:30] <roy_1> Yeah
[14:30] <ActionParsnip1> roy_1: please tab complete my name at the start of lines too
[14:31] <ActionParsnip1> roy_1: your name appearing at the start of each line I address to you isnt an accident
[14:31] <roy_1> Not very familiar with irc... how?
[14:31] <ActionParsnip1> roy_1: type act then press tab
[14:32] <ActionParsnip1> roy_1: makes it a bit clearer in a channel of more that 1400 users
[14:32] <ActionParsnip1> roy_1: ok so how do you normally connect? do you have a username / password?
[14:33] <roy_1> Actiondude... I know, but I don't know how to do the addressing to one specific user... Javacript would be nice
[14:33] <roy_1> ActionParsnip1:
[14:33] <roy_1> that's what I got from act+tab
[14:33] <Tarthen> Hello everyone... I'm making a shell script to easily install a PXE server for booting across networks, and looking for beta testers... anyone know of where I should ask (if not here)?
[14:34] <ActionParsnip1> roy_1: thats great, do that at the start of all lines addressed to me, it highlights your name so I know you are addressing me, just like my text highlights for you
[14:34] <roy_1> ActionParsnip1:  Now it looks like working... Sorry. Yeah, I have a user/pass
[14:34] <ActionParsnip1> roy_1: ok cool, then you need this guide:
[14:34] <padi999> sipior: thanks
[14:35] <ActionParsnip1> !adsl | roy_1
[14:35] <big-bro> DefineByte - i might put up with it for a while and if i can't rectify it i might resort back to hardy.. Thanks for your input.
[14:36] <snuffy47> hello
[14:36] <DefineByte> big-bro: i'm sure it can be made to work with pulse/alsa, you just need to ask the right people. tried on the forums?
[14:36] <Trijntje> hey snuffy47
[14:36] <snuffy47> anyone interested in giving me some help in deciding how to proceed with a media server and htpc set up
[14:36] <snuffy47> sup tri
[14:36] <big-bro> DefineByte - that was my next mission
[14:37] <roy_1> ubottu:  The 9.04 distro seems to have nice gui for all types of connections, but it's all so confusing. I would really love to know how to make those work. Actually it did work until yesterday, but now ... :)
[14:37] <jiohdi> ActionParsnip1: I do not have any program nor command called gconfig
[14:38] <snuffy47> has anyone installed XBMC with ubuntu server to run as media server and hptc?
[14:38] <ActionParsnip1> jiohdi: i'm not sure dude, you could try setting static IPs in /etc/network/interfaces
[14:39] <ActionParsnip1> jiohdi: ive had this before but it was AGES ago (Gutsy) and I just reinstalled
[14:40] <jiohdi> ActionParsnip1: I do believe that the problem lies in a corrupted start up script, I need to know how to fix that
[14:41] <ActionParsnip1> jiohdi: theres the startup items in the admin menu, or you can check wats going on with bum
[14:41] <ActionParsnip1> !bum | jiohdi
[14:41] <Tarthen> bum... what a name for a command
[14:41] <grawity> Tarthen: Get used to funny command names.
[14:42] <ActionParsnip1> Tarthen: theres clit too
[14:42] <Tarthen> grawity: And finger.
[14:42] <grawity> Tarthen: That one I know, I wrote a fingerd in PHP
[14:42] <Tarthen> grawity: Developers have humour too :D
[14:42] <ActionParsnip1> Tarthen: less is a great example of that, less is more
[14:43] <ActionParsnip1> Tarthen: and more is less...hence the more command
[14:43] <grawity> And finger isn't just a random funny name.
[14:43] <Tarthen> grawity: More is less, but backwards x3
[14:43] <grawity> "Prior to the finger program, the only way to get this information was with a who program that showed IDs and terminal line numbers for logged-in users, and people used to run their fingers down the who list. Earnest named his program after this concept."
[14:43] <ActionParsnip1> http://www.overclock.net/linux-unix/503194-ebook-reader.html
[14:43] <Tarthen> makes sense
[14:43] <grawity> There is a 'cat' alternative named 'dog'
[14:44] <ActionParsnip1> nice
[14:44] <Trijntje> grawity: realy? thats funny :D
[14:44] <dwarder> what does it do?
[14:44] <Tarthen> The same thing
[14:44] <grawity> Tarthen: The same thing + support for HTTP and some conversion options.
[14:44] <ActionParsnip1> http://www.penguin-soft.com/penguin/man/1/dog.html
[14:45] <Tarthen> I wonder if roflmao is a command
[14:45] <angrycatty> hi2all
[14:45] <snuffy47> if you were building a media server would you use it as a htpc also?
[14:45] <wonder_> hello everyone
[14:45] <ActionParsnip1> Tarthen: it can be if you like
[14:45] <ActionParsnip1> Tarthen: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/roflmao
[14:45] <Tarthen> ActionParsnip1: Someone needs to write a man replacement called "ape"
[14:45] <ActionParsnip1> Tarthen: ;)
[14:45] <sipior> snuffy47: htpc?
[14:46] <andyL> hello
[14:46] <Tarthen> ActionParsnip1: Does the same fling, but flings the commands all over your walls
[14:46] <Tarthen> thing*, but flings
[14:46] <ActionParsnip1> huh?
[14:46] <lisa11> hello
[14:47] <erUSUL> !hi
[14:47] <Tarthen> ActionParsnip1: "ape" would do what "man" does, except instead of listing commands, throw them at your walls :P
[14:47] <wonder_> 有人使用中文吗？
[14:47] <ActionParsnip1> Tarthen: oh, gotcha
[14:48] <lisa11> ÄãºÃ
[14:48] <Tarthen> Oh, also. Question. How good will 9.04 run on a 800mhz CPU? And what can I do to cut down resource usage
[14:48] <snuffy47> well I am tring to diecide if I should use an old athlon 2600 xp computer to make a media server and then build a hometheater computer or just buy new equipment and put it all in one box
[14:48] <bazhang> !cn | wonder_
[14:48] <Trijntje> sounds like we could make a monty python distro like this :P
[14:48] <Tarthen> My friend's made the "ubuntu bomb", a 800mhz box with 2GB RAM, a 128mb gpu and a dell shell xD
[14:49] <Nemoniko> hello?
[14:49] <grawity> There should be a command '/me' in some distro
[14:49] <Tarthen> The harddrives are stickytaped in place, lol
[14:49] <Nemoniko> anybody here can helpme?
[14:49] <lisa11> ÊÇ·ñ¸ÃËµÍíÉÏºÃÄØ £¿   wonder_
[14:49] <grawity> Nemoniko: Just ask your actual question.
[14:49] <ActionParsnip1> Tarthen: nice. id watch it doesnt melt if the drive gets too hot
[14:49] <wonder_> thank you! ubottu, i use irc the first time
[14:50] <grawity> wonder_: Ubottu is a bot - an automated program.
[14:50] <Tarthen> ActionParsnip1: Surprisingly, it boots only about ten or so seconds after Vista on a 3.2ghz P4
[14:50] <Nemoniko> I got a laptop emachines E525, I installed the latest version of ubuntu 9.04, and was succesfull, but can't find the network lan adapter
[14:51] <Tarthen> ActionParsnip1: However, do you know how to cut down any idle resource usage? Parrantly it sits on 33% idle.
[14:51] <Nemoniko> but i have the wireless driver
[14:51] <erUSUL> Nemoniko: «ifconfig -a» does not show it ? and «lspci | grep -i net» ?
[14:51] <noobez> ActionParsnip1: i couldnt open a folder in one of my hds so i accessed it from bash with sudo and do whatever i wanted, after closing the hd window i had this output in the terminal (nautilus:6778): Eel-WARNING **: "nautilus-directory.c: directories" hash table still has 6 elements at quit time
[14:51] <noobez> seahorse nautilus module shutdown what does it mean? thanks
[14:51] <Nemoniko> erUSUL: im gonna try
[14:51] <Nemoniko> waitme
[14:52] <Tarthen> noobez: Don't worry, that's normal
[14:52] <padi999> hi
[14:52] <ActionParsnip1> Tarthen: you can use bum to reduce startup items, some are useless
[14:52] <DDT> bye :)
[14:53] <ActionParsnip1> Tarthen: also uninstall unecessary packages
[14:53] <noobez> Tarthen: oh yeah? thanks. but what is it anyway?
[14:53] <Ychoucha> allo
[14:53] <Ychoucha> y a pas ubuntu en fr
[14:53] <IdleOne> !fr
[14:54] <Ychoucha> thank u
[14:54] <IdleOne> de rien
[14:54] <Nemoniko> erUSUL: the system can showme the ethernet adapter!
[14:54] <Nemoniko> but how can activate?
[14:54] <erUSUL> Nemoniko: use the network manager... system>preferences>network settings
[14:55] <Nemoniko> erUSUL:  ok
[14:56] <pyRunner> sorry... got booted off
[14:56] <pyRunner> Did I miss the grub expert?
[14:56] <snuffy47> with linux raid 5 will sata 1.5 still get okay transfer rates
[14:56] <ActionParsnip1> pyRunner: could ask in #grub
[14:57] <Nemoniko> erUSUL: add ?
[14:57] <Nemoniko> i need paste the mac address?
[14:57] <pyRunner> ActionParsnip1: Thanks for the advice!
[14:57] <Nemoniko> for lan network adapter?
[14:57] <erUSUL> Nemoniko: i the first tab your card should already be there... as auto eth0 or something like that
[14:58] <snuffy47> how much reasources will the linux raid five take
[14:58] <big-bro> DefineByte - Good News, just found a forum and fixed it, all is good..
