[16:54] <lefix> Gne the same, error code (1) should i pastebin it?
[16:55] <rww> frxstrem: Ubuntu Studio only releases DVD images, not CD images, so no.
[16:55] <pluma> Markopotomus: Right click, properties, make executable.
[16:55] <pluma> Markopotomus: in the Permissions tab
[16:55] <Gnea> lefix: no.  open the Sources back up and also check  Unsupported updates (intrepid-backports)
[16:55] <HolyMarcell> Hey, I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu and try to set up some kind of network-bridge between the WLAN and the XP-Box near the Ubuntu-Box. After reading the Manuals and everything I found I'm still not able to manage it. Someone can guide me through the steps? thx
[16:56] <pluma> Markopotomus: or from the commandline chmod +x <filename> (no brackets)
[16:56] <rww> frxstrem: it's entirely possible that they have a CD spin somewhere I'm not seeing... I guess you could go ask them in #ubuntustudio
[16:56] <lefix> Gnea ok and now sudo apt-get -f install  ????
[16:56] <Markopotomus> pluma ok - I dont actually see a "make executable" command in the Permissions tab. Just access options
[16:56] <pluma> Markopotomus: It's not called that.
[16:56] <Markopotomus> pluma: or... no, yes I do.
[16:57] <Markopotomus> pluma: "allow executing file as program"
[16:57] <pluma> Markopotomus: exactly.
[16:57] <Gnea> lefix: make sure you sudo apt-get update  first
[16:57] <Markopotomus> pluma: *does so*
[16:57] <pluma> Markopotomus: Now you should be able to run it.
[16:58] <lefix> Gnea doesnt work error code (1)
[16:58] <Markopotomus> pluma. It says I need to run it as a super user, but doesnt give me an option to enter a root password. I guess that means I have to do it from the command line anyway?
[16:58] <rww> !sudo | Markopotomus
[16:58] <pluma> Markopotomus: I'd guess so.
[16:58] <lefix> Gnea i sudo apt-get update first than sudo apt-get -f install
[16:59] <Gnea> lefix: okay, try to install the -10 kernel image
[16:59] <pluma> Markopotomus: Unless there's a right-click option for files "Open as administrator" like there is for directories.
[16:59] <shiMMer> what is best proxy for ubuntu 8.10??
[16:59] <Gnea> !best | shiMMer
[16:59] <aminh> guys Ubuntu 8.04 is an LTS right? how long is it supported? how long are LTS releases supported?
[16:59] <rww> !lts | aminh
[16:59] <sanyam> sudo su  << will make you root..so u dont have to type sudo evry time... type exit to become regular user
[16:59] <pluma> Is there a way to DOWNgrade from 8.10 to 8.04 LTS? 8.10 kinda shot down half my system.
[16:59] <Markopotomus> pluma: rww: there we go :)
[17:00] <rww> pluma: no
[17:00] <aminh> rww: what is the interval between LTS releases? is that 5 years for servers too?
[17:00] <Gnea> sanyam: please do not advocate that.  sudo -i  is preferable.
[17:00] <pluma> rww: is there a way to stop it from not working correctly then? My audio and video card both are "unrecognised" and I have no idea how to go about fixing that.
[17:00] <shiMMer> need to get ip scanner for ubuntu 8.10
[17:01] <spiderzz> pluma have you done the updates for the os yet
[17:01] <sanyam> Gnea: agreed, I was just telling if he finds it convenient
[17:01] <pw-> since the last kernel update, ubuntu doesn't shut down my laptop, but hibernates instead, and grub tries to resume the session each time, but fails, and boots from scratch, how can i fix this unwanted hibernation?
[17:01] <rww> aminh: The first LTS was 6.06, the next was 8.04. I forget what the next one is going to be, but it should be sometime less than 3 years after Hardy came out.
[17:01] <shiMMer> can angry ip scanner work on ubuntu 8.10??
[17:02] <pluma> spiderzz: EVERY update, yes. And unlike with 8.04, 8.10 fails to recognise my sound and video cards, throwing me into failsafe.
[17:02] <Gnea> shiMMer: no, only polite ip scanners work with ubuntu 8.10.
[17:02] <reenignEesreveR> i wanna use rsync in such a way that everytime i run it, only new files are downloaded from source (remote machine) to destination machine (my machine) while the old files remain untouched. What parameter should I give to rsync?
[17:02] <shiMMer> "polite" ????u mean??
[17:02] <rww> aminh: oh, there it is http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/146 , next LTS is 10.04
[17:03] <greencookie> Hi I recently removed gdm and ubuntu-desktop and removed the links from init to start gdm automatically. Now I have kubuntu-desktop and kdm and would like to start it automatically on boot. Currently the only way i know of starting it is 'sudo startkde'. could anyone tell me a better alternative? thanks.
[17:03] <rww> shiMMer: I believe that was what is known as a joke
[17:03] <pluma> rww: So it's probably safe to assume as LTS means 3 years of support that their schedule for creating LTSs is 2 years then?
[17:03] <Gnea> shiMMer: what kind of a 'proxy' are you looking for?
[17:03] <pluma> rww: i.e. every 4th release is LTS
[17:03] <rww> pluma: looks that way, yes
[17:04] <shiMMer> any..i need to be anonymous surfer..
[17:04] <HolyMarcell> Hey, I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu and try to set up some kind of network-bridge between the WLAN and the XP-Box near the Ubuntu-Box. After reading the Manuals and everything I found I'm still not able to manage it. Someone can guide me through the steps? thx
[17:04] <dissociative> anyone knows how to install MPlayer in ubuntu 8.04? I cant find in the repositories and I running the livecd
[17:04] <Gnea> shiMMer: we don't handle those here. please /join #freenode and ask there.
[17:04] <spiderzz> how do turn stop the os from asking for a password every time i try to install a program or change settigns
[17:04] <shiMMer> ok2
[17:04] <HolyMarcell> dissociative: try to run it: cmd: "totem"
[17:04] <spiderzz> wow i speak good engrish
[17:05] <rww> shiMMer: look into tor. http://www.torproject.org/, package name "tor" in the repos
[17:05] <lefix> Gnea ok want to install it but theres a message, "broken dependencies"
[17:05] <dissociative> totem cannot access video4linux capture devices
[17:05] <lefix> Gnea tell ya more?
[17:05] <Gnea> lefix: pastebin?
[17:05] <rww> shiMMer: to stop your hostname from showing up on Freenode, ask in #freenode for a cloak
[17:05] <shiMMer> i got problem with firefox on my ubuntu 8.10
[17:05] <pluma> spiderzz: That's kinda the point of sudo'ing. That it asks you for a password instead of letting you log in as root and wreak havock.
[17:05] <HolyMarcell> dissociative: this is your error message?
[17:05] <greencookie> how can i get kdm to start automatically on boot?

[17:06] <greencookie> Anyone?
[17:06] <greencookie> how can i get kdm to start automatically on boot?
[17:07] <rww> spiderzz: 1. Type sudo visudo, 2. Add this to the end of the file: yourusername ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL
[17:07] <Gnea> greencookie: it already does in kubuntu
[17:07] <pluma> Does anyone know how I can make my (last-gen) ATI Radeon and on-board sound card work with 8.10? They've been working since 6.06 and 8.10 fails to recognise either.
[17:07] <rww> greencookie: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm, I think.
[17:07] <greencookie> Gnea: I unintstalled ubuntu-desktop and installed kubuntu-desktop then kdm.
[17:07] <greencookie> rww i tried that and rebooted, no avail.
[17:07] <sda00> i screwed up to get this repo. i'm running openSUSE and we have a webpin for that: http://packages.opensuse-community.org/

[17:24] <tomcheng76> cheds: people like to stay close ,lol
[17:24] <rww> cheds: it's the Ubuntu support channel. Lots of people need or give Ubuntu support :)
[17:24] <shiMMer> rww::i have another problem..
[17:24] <pluma> Does anyone know how I can make my (last-gen) ATI Radeon and on-board sound card work with 8.10? They've been working since 6.06 and 8.10 fails to recognise either.
[17:24] <rww> cheds: plus the fact that iirc it's the default channel for most IRC clients distributed with Ubuntu doesn't hirt
[17:24] <c0p3rn1c1> I'm running ubuntu 8.10 , to get my ati radeon to work I should install http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html ?
[17:25] <cheds> tomcheng76 well if the growth in this room is anything to go by, ubuntu must be doing ok. I haven't come in here for a couple years ...
[17:25] <rww> hurt *

[17:25] <hwilde> lefix, you know it only takes like 20 minutes to reinstall right
[17:25] <nbeebo> how can disable the manual network configuration program in my tray?
[17:26] <shiMMer> my problem is=when i want to minimize/unminimize firefox/another application,it slow to minimize/unminimize..
[17:26] <tomcheng76> nbeebo: you mean NetworkManager?
[17:26] <nbeebo> tomcheng76, maybe, the name is what i called it tho
[17:26] <[Kevin]> hello how do i change the name of my computer
[17:26] <hwilde> shiMMer, System-> Preferences- > Appearnace -> turn off all the fancy stuff
[17:26] <rww> !hostname | [Kevin]
[17:26] <hwilde> !hostname | [Kevin]
[17:26] <hwilde> rww, dang quickdraw
[17:26] <shiMMer> i set it to none already
[17:26] <cheds> apt-get install fluxbox -> turn off all the cruft ;)
[17:26] <rww> [Kevin]: MAKE SURE YOU READ THE PART AFTER THE WARNING and consider just using the GUI
[17:26] <Jack_Sparrow> shiMMer how much ram and cpu
[17:26] <[Kevin]> thanks
[17:26] <hwilde> yeah and video card
[17:26] <shiMMer> 2gb ram
[17:27] <shiMMer> i already have fluxbox..it same
[17:27] <cheds> shiMMer really? How slow are we talking?
[17:27] <Jack_Sparrow> shiMMer is your current screen res over 1024x768
[17:27] <lefix> Gnea, ok i m doing this later, i hope it works, and if it doesnt i ll install it new, hwilde it takes longer than 20 minutest, because i have to reinstall all my software and this would take some time
[17:27] <rww> Now that I think of it, can someone with ubottu write access change the !hostname factoid so System > Administration > Networking is at the /start/ of it, not the end, since that's what most people will want to do?
[17:27] <nbeebo> how do i get rid of the network stuff in my systray?
[17:27] <shiMMer> 1280x800 resolution
[17:28] <hwilde> lefix, no just tar up your /home/ directory and save it for later
[17:28] <hwilde> lefix, you shouldn't lose anything
[17:28] <Gnea> lefix: okay
[17:28] <hwilde> !clone > lefix
[17:28] <hwilde> or clone it first
[17:28] <[Kevin]> rrw i dont have " System > Administration > Networking "
[17:28] <Jack_Sparrow> shiMMer just checking to see if you were stuck at vesa mode
[17:28] <cheds> !clone > cheds
[17:28] <shiMMer> vesa mode???
[17:28] <Fougner> shiMMer, you're on a laptop?
[17:28] <intorio> I just updated a workstation and ldap authentication just stopped working, server is unchanged, config files are all the same, other un-updated workstations work fine. the auth log complains about not being able to connect to the server, but ldapsearch works fine, any ideas?
[17:28] <Jack_Sparrow> lefix consider setting up a seperate /home  it makes things much easier
[17:28] <jestinjoy> which is the best remastering tool in ubuntu
[17:28] <rww> [Kevin]: ... damn, they moved it again. Give me a sec to find out where they put it.
[17:29] <shiMMer> my xperience is backtrack have vesa mode..
[17:29] <shiMMer> fougner::yes..acer aspire 4530
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> shiMMer yes. generic slow vesa mode.. I wanted to make sure you had some real driver working
[17:29] <fever> I'm having some trouble getting apt-get to work behind a proxy with authentication. When invoked from the terminal, it's picking up the proxy server name and port from the global proxy settings, but not the auth details. It works if I specify the auth username and password along with the proxy server address like user:password@ip:port, but not otherwise. can someone help?
[17:29] <hwilde> jestinjoy, audacity has some good features
[17:29] <hwilde> fever, you said it works so what's the problem?
[17:29] <lucax> tryin to play youtube videos on totem i get this ffdemux_swf: El elemento no implementa el manejo de este stream. Por favor, notifique el error. someone know this problem?
[17:29] <shiMMer> all my driver is working..nvidia,sound,wireless
[17:30] <Fougner> shiMMer, is it slow when scrolling in firefox too?
[17:30] <tomcheng76> nbeebo: i think you can turn that off inside System => Perferences => Sessions, also you may try to uninstall the NetworkManager package
[17:30] <shiMMer> yes..how u know??
[17:31] <rww> [Kevin]: install package gnome-network-admin, then open it from Sys > Admin > Networking
[17:31] <jestinjoy> what?
[17:31] <rww> [Kevin]: then click the General tab, click Unlock, then type in the new hostname.
[17:31] <lefix> ok guys thanks a lot to you especially thanks to Gnea and hwilde
[17:31] <[Kevin]> rww, thanks
[17:31] <fever> hwilde: well, If I specify the username and password in the proxy servername, a lot of my other apps stop working. Synaptic package Manager has its own proxy settings, is there a config file for apt-get that I can modify?
[17:31] <nbeebo> tomcheng76 i did it once, didnt work, u know the name of it?
[17:32] <tomcheng76> nbeebo, can u right click the tray icon and select About ?
[17:32] <Jack_Sparrow> shiMMer All programs are slow to open close not just firefox right
[17:32] <rww> lucax: This channel is for support in English. For help with that, you'll want to head over to #ubuntu-es if it's in Spanish or #ubuntu-br if it's in Portugese.
[17:33] <shiMMer> jack::yeah...all of u happen with that too?
[17:33] <nbeebo> tomcheng76 yeah doesnt say anything about no package but its networkmanager

[17:36] <Jack_Sparrow> shiMMer I wont be able to help with much on that.  I have gutsy on this particular box
[17:36] <pluma> Alright, so what I gathered from the background noise is that I have to install the OSS "radeon" driver to fix my video card.
[17:36] <Jack_Sparrow> shiMMer does live cd lag?
[17:37] <shiMMer> owh...that ok,anyway,tq yah bro..

[17:39] <jestinjoy> Best remastering tool in ubuntu?
[17:39] <Jack_Sparrow> shiMMer I am suggesting you get a live cd of ubuntu, probably the one you have and boot it up and see if you have the same lag
[17:39] <Jack_Sparrow> jestinjoy there is no best .. we try to avoid polling like that
[17:39] <shiMMer> i need to install ubuntu again??
[17:39] <Jack_Sparrow> shiMMer No.

[17:42] <shiMMer> 1 thing must i do
[17:42] <Jack_Sparrow> shiMMer I am suggesting you get a live cd of ubuntu, probably the one you have and boot it up and see if you have the same lag .. If you cannot understand this sentence then I must assume you are a troll.
[17:42] <tomcheng76> Is there any malay channel? that must be better for ShiMMer

[17:44] <Jack_Sparrow> tomcheng76 hold off on asking him to repeat, he is having a hard enough time understanding simple questions from one person
[17:44] <MiladKhajavi> I want to download full repository of ubuntu8.10, how can I download all packages?
[17:45] <santor> how do have a script run after logging in
[17:45] <Jack_Sparrow> MiladKhajavi you DL the 5 dvd set
[17:45] <tomcheng76> Jack_Sparrow: then, Please tell me his problem :-)
[17:45] <Jack_Sparrow> tomcheng76 Please scroll back
[17:45] <rww> tomcheng76: firefox is lagging when he minimizes it
[17:45] <shiMMer> let me try to say step by step..i have ubuntu live cd..i need insert that cd and reboot right??
[17:45] <Jack_Sparrow> rww he said all programs
[17:45] <MiladKhajavi> Jack_Sparrow: I think this should be more than 5 DVD
[17:45] <shiMMer> yeah..all
[17:45] <Jack_Sparrow> MiladKhajavi nope
[17:46] <rww> Jack_Sparrow: oh, okay. I gave up before he said that.
[17:46] <Jack_Sparrow> MiladKhajavi not much over 4
[17:46] <Myrtti> yacc: sure there is
[17:46] <shiMMer> i install my ubuntu with ubuntu 8.10 dvd
[17:46] <yacc> Myrtti, URL?
[17:46] <Jack_Sparrow> shiMMer NO
[17:46] <shiMMer> ??
[17:46] <MiladKhajavi> Jack_Sparrow: It have about 30 GB of software
[17:46] <rww> MiladKhajavi: alternatively, use apt-mirror. http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/06/10/how-to-create-an-ubuntu-repository-mirror-on-ubuntu-804/ is for hardy, but is probably similar for intrepid.
[17:46] <yacc> Myrtti, I've got a collection of SIMs and happy to provide the information out of my wvdial.conf :)
[17:46] <pluma> Jack_Sparrow: I think he was trying to say he _installed_ 8.10, not that he was going to do it.
[17:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Someone.. Anyone see a better way to tell him to run a live disk and see if the lag is still there
[17:47] <shiMMer> i need to boot live cd??
[17:47] <bazhang> shiMMer, yes
[17:47] <sinbox> yes shiMMer
[17:47] <jestinjoy> after compiling  the kernel i get kernel panic error message while booting?
[17:47] <MiladKhajavi> rww: I can download these package from non-linux server
[17:47] <bazhang> shiMMer, but dont install
[17:47] <pluma> shiMMer: put the Ubuntu CD in your computer, reboot, run Ubuntu from the CD, see if it lags there too.
[17:47] <Jack_Sparrow> pluma Since he is unable to communicate or understand our help he is about to be removed to the my channel
[17:47] <shiMMer> oh..try ubuntu without installation??
[17:47] <pluma> Exactly.
[17:47] <Jack_Sparrow> MiladKhajavi yes
[17:47] <bazhang> shiMMer, yes.

[17:48] <bazhang> shiMMer, try it now.
[17:48] <Jack_Sparrow> arrrrrrrgh               sorry
[17:48] <hogdog> Jack_Sparrow lol I think he's toying with you
[17:48] <shiMMer> ohh...it clear now..
[17:48] <yacc> Myrtti, thx.
[17:48] <rww> MiladKhajavi: you need to download every Ubuntu package to a non-linux server? Can you detail why, so I can figure out some way to do it?
[17:48] <shiMMer> i understand with word "dont install"
[17:48] <pluma> MiladKhajavi: Why would you want to download ALL packages? Do you want to mirror them or actually INSTALL them?
[17:48] <nikki93> Hey guys! Is there a way to automatically merge partitions while preserving the data on them? I don't want to move the data around etc., by myself, I'd like it done automatically.

[17:49] <jarco> hello guys. does anyone knows the command to start ispconfig control panel on an ubuntu server?
[17:49] <Jack_Sparrow> nikki93 you really need to have a backup when working on partitions at that level

[17:51] <aksci> has ne1 encountered the same before?
[17:51] <hwilde> aksci, did you get all the updates
[17:51] <Jack_Sparrow> MiladKhajavi yes, you can dl from any server
[17:51] <hwilde> !my
[17:52] <aksci> hwilde, no,... but this problem creeped up recently
[17:52] <Jack_Sparrow> aksci which version of pidgin
[17:52] <aksci> Jack_Sparrow, Pidgin 2.4.1
[17:52] <hwilde> aksci, get all the updates
[17:53] <tomcheng76> Jack_Sparrow, since he is using mobile chipset, 177 may not be the suitable driver.
[17:53] <rww> MiladKhajavi: You'll need to do it from an Ubuntu machine. The only way to make an apt mirror and keep it reasonably up to date is using programs that only run on Linux.
[17:53] <Jack_Sparrow> tomcheng76 I agree..
[17:53] <pluma> MiladKhajavi: This might be relevant for you: http://popey.com/Creating_an_Ubuntu_repository_mirror_with_apt-mirror
[17:53] <Myrtti> yacc: or you could /msg Wellark
[17:53] <tomcheng76> Jack_Sparrow he has 2G ram, must be enough for ubuntu
[17:54] <Jack_Sparrow> rww why would he need to use a ubuntu machine
[17:54] <Guest51808> Do you know Hacker IRC?
[17:54] <Jack_Sparrow> tomcheng76 agreed
[17:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest51808 OT
[17:54] <MiladKhajavi> Jack_Sparrow: can you lead me how can I download them from windows server? I can download them from linux server with aptmirorr but in windows I dont know how can i do it?
[17:54] <aduy> hi
[17:54] <aduy> every1
[17:54] <aduy> ;)
[17:54] <pluma> MiladKhajavi: Oh, sorry. Didn't read that you want to do it Windows
[17:54] <rww> MiladKhajavi: You could theoretically grab the entire contents of http://ir.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ if that isn't an option, I guess
[17:54] <bjorn_> what is the program named that copies Livecd to an usb flashdrive?
[17:55] <Jack_Sparrow> rww He can download the dvd's directly
[17:55] <Jack_Sparrow> bjorn_ iso2linux script
[17:55] <rww> Jack_Sparrow: the DVDs don't include security updates
[17:55] <bazhang> unetbootin bjorn_
[17:55] <Jack_Sparrow> rww ageeed, but that is not the issue..
[17:56] <tomcheng76> Jack_Sparrow https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-177/+bug/300020  he may need 18x driver...
[17:56] <Jack_Sparrow> rww he wants the current mirror image closer, updates can still be done over the net
[17:56] <pluma> MiladKhajavi: If you care, here's a python script that does the same as apt-mirror in the last post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=335421
[17:57] <MiladKhajavi> pluma: let me to check it
[17:57] <rww> Jack_Sparrow: from what I read, he wants "All repository". I'd recommend he just grab the install CD and make a few dozen copies of it, but he doesn't seem to just want to install locally.
[17:57] <MiladKhajavi> rww: I want interpix and i386 not all of them
[17:57] <jestinjoy> ?
[17:57] <shoot^> hey guys, i'm having big issues with Ubuntu Server. It just randomly crashes after a couple of hours: no errors in /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kern.log. It occured on Hardy, and now on an upgrade of Intrepid (which I did to try and fix the problem). Its an old box, with little RAM, but I wouldn't expect that to cause it to become unresponsive when doing very little ...any ideas?
[17:58] <rww> MiladKhajavi: Do you need to have a copy of updates locally, or do you just need enough to get Intrepid installed and can then download updates from the web?
[17:58] <pluma> MiladKhajavi: You'd have to install a python interpreter first, of course, but the thread/script seems relevant.
[17:58] <nbeebo> what do i download to change my volume from the systray?
[17:58] <Jack_Sparrow> rww that alt would only have main.. he wants something like  ftp://kambing.ui.edu/pub/ubuntu-repository/
[17:59] <rww> Jack_Sparrow: you mean, like http://ir.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ , which I linked to him 5 minutes ago?
[17:59] <Jack_Sparrow>  rww No not at all.
[17:59] <Jack_Sparrow> rww see the link I gave it is the 5 or 6 dvd set
[17:59] <tomcheng76> rww: why dont download security-updates from ftp, make cds and use apt-cdrom?
[18:00] <nbeebo> can u change volume from the systray and if so how?
[18:00] <rww> Jack_Sparrow: oh, sorry, my mistake. I was mislead by the URL
[18:00] <MiladKhajavi> rww: another issue that I have is when I start to download them it take a week, in this week does package dependency are going to be change?
[18:01] <rww> MiladKhajavi: please answer the question I just asked you:
[18:01] <rww> MiladKhajavi: Do you need to have a copy of updates locally, or do you just need enough to get Intrepid installed and can then download updates from the web?
[18:01] <Jack_Sparrow> np as long as you see the diff.  the can save a ton of bandwidth with those dvd's locally
[18:01] <krish_> please tell me about folding@home and how can i do it with my old server
[18:01] <cenubis> After doing: keychain ~/.ssh/id_rsa; my SSH login still prompts for my password?
[18:01] <cenubis> This is driving me insane
[18:01] <pluma> rww: He already said he wants to download them so he can give them to others because their connections are too slow.
[18:01] <cenubis> All I want is a passwordless login so I can use automated SSH sessions
[18:02] <RolfCoptr> cenubis: google for "ssh public key authentication"
[18:02] <RolfCoptr> that's what u want
[18:02] <cenubis> I did, I followed the steps and it still prompts me for my password
[18:02] <intrepid1> how to set up screen resolution on Ubuntu 8.10?
[18:02] <cenubis> For the key itself
[18:02] <tomcheng76> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FoldingAtHome  ?
[18:02] <MiladKhajavi> rww: we want to downlaod all packages with updates. but after that we download updates for our community every two week an we give them every two week
[18:02] <cyban> anyone know a SCO Unix channel?
[18:03] <Jack_Sparrow> MiladKhajavi unlikely that many dependencies will change while you are downloading anything
[18:03] <RolfCoptr> you have to generate a public key on the client, copy it to the host in .ssh/authorized_keys AND SET IT 600 (chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys)
[18:03] <rww> Jack_Sparrow: okay then, he wants updates. DVDs ain't gonna work.
[18:03] <intrepid1> I can choose just 800x600 from the menu :(
[18:03] <Jack_Sparrow> rww dvd's are exactly what he is asking for..
[18:03] <genii> krish_:  Perhaps also see the 8.04 guide (still apllicable in method to any dist) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FoldingAtHome/fah_install
[18:03] <bjorn_> Jack_Sparrow, bazhang: Im looking for the default ubuntu applet, I want to install it in "linux Mint"
[18:03]  * rww sighs
[18:03] <RolfCoptr> cenubis: checked that?
[18:04] <bazhang> !mintsupport | bjorn_
[18:04] <intrepid1> and my GPU and monitor defenately support hier resolution
[18:04] <bjorn_> bazhang:  :(
[18:04] <MiladKhajavi> is it enough to download ftp://kambing.ui.edu/pub/ubuntu-repository/intrepid/ and updates?
[18:05] <Jack_Sparrow> MiladKhajavi yes
[18:05] <Jack_Sparrow> exactly
[18:05] <intrepid1> When I execute dpgk-reconfigure I can choose hier resolution, but only till I restart the computer
[18:05] <intrepid1> so, can anyone help me with setting up the screen resolution?
[18:05] <Balian> # ubuntu.pl
[18:05] <bjorn_> bazhang: its an ubuntu program though
[18:06] <dmsuperman> I'd like to print something to stdout but if I'm running it via a hotkey or something I'd like to give a little popup window instead
[18:06] <dmsuperman> In a bash script, is it possible to determine if I'm in a terminal or just executing?
[18:06] <genii> Balian:  /j #ubuntu-pl
[18:06] <Jack_Sparrow> dmsuperman /j #bash
[18:07] <krish_> genii i checked i need more info that is a bit confusing
[18:07] <Larrxi> sound is working but volume manager does not save the changes so i can not unmute microphone
[18:07] <c0p3rn1c1> hwilde: I've read some tutorials, but I always seem to get the low graphics mode
[18:07] <Jack_Sparrow> MiladKhajavi Personally, I would distribute the dvd set, then do aptoncd updates as needed
[18:08] <IKAC> intrepid1: hey man you have to go to /etc/X11 or some config file
[18:08] <IKAC> and check lists at the end of file
[18:08] <RolfCoptr> steckfisch
[18:08] <RolfCoptr> ww
[18:08] <MiladKhajavi> after while, where  package versions changs? in ubuntu main, univese, ..  repository or in updates? if i start to download package frm repository is it going to dependency problem?
[18:08] <intrepid1> IKAC: I have done dpkg-reconfigure, but when I reboot computer it goes back to 800x600 resolution :(
[18:09] <Ging_> does anyone know how to force ntfs partitions to mount from a live cd ?
[18:09] <Jack_Sparrow> MiladKhajavi no problem with dependencies as long as you get your regular updates...
[18:09] <Larrxi> how to completely reinstall sound and sound configurations?
[18:09] <Ging_> i'm tryng to use a live cd to recover some files
[18:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !force
[18:09] <Jack_Sparrow> drat
[18:09] <Flannel> MiladKhajavi: the only ones that will change dependencies regularly is the kernel, and that's just because the version keeps changing (and if you just install the older one you'll be fine, even if not entirely up to date)
[18:09] <backz> can I recompile some packages to use openMP?
[18:09] <intrepid1> does it meen that dpkg-reconfigure doesn't save the changes in /etc/X11/ conf file?
[18:09] <MiladKhajavi> Jack_Sparrow: uhum
[18:09] <nbeebo> how do i change so conky doesnt cover the icons so to speak?

[18:22] <king> oakmac, gedit actually freezes my laptop when it starts I have already replaced it by mousepad, so scite its going to be I think as I am on gnome (so no kate). Eclipse is too heavy. Bluefish maybe good. Can you comment on geany, gphpedit and scite?

[18:23] <king> Guest50049, See in that directory for a stop script.  I don't think vim takes pride in such mortal requirements :)

[18:25] <Guest50049> the server is not there, it is outside my home ;)
[18:25] <oakmac> king: i've never used geany, gphpedit, so can't comment.  I like SCiTE because I come from Notepad++ on Windows and it uses the same engine.  It's not the most user-friendly program (settings are done via editing text files and it's not very intuitive), but once you get everything set up the way you like I've found it to be the best experience.  gedit is a pretty simple program; I wonder why it would be crashing your laptop.  Maybe tha

[18:26] <king> oakmac, I too was surprised at gedit freezing my computer for a while it starts. Maybe it has to do with the theme I use. I couldn't careless for its idiosyncrasies so I replaced it with mousepad. Your message got truncated btw. I see just "maybe th"

[19:01] <Dr_Willis64> elostio,  if you are going PC to PC with the network cables. You will most likely need a peer-peer cable, or a hub/switch.. and perhaps set up static ips or install a dhcp server on the server
[19:01] <mikebeecham> does anyone know of an easy way to access AFP shares in ubuntu?
[19:02] <mphill> mikebeecham: apt-cache show netatalk
[19:02] <psalias> hello m8s, could i force my ubuntu to see usb2 as usb1 ?
[19:03] <mikebeecham> mphill: sorry mate...I'm a realtively new linux user
[19:03] <elostio> yeah already figured that one out thanks for the link
[19:03] <mphill> psalias: Maybe you can disable usb 2.0 in the bios?
[19:03] <Dr_Willis64> psalias,  i would have to wonder why youi need to do so. the usb stuff is supposed to auto configure as needed in that  area
[19:03] <mikebeecham> i have no idea what I'm looking at...I was hoping that there would be some kind of GUI that would help me
[19:03] <mphill> mikebeecham: its an apple talk implementation

[19:03] <king> I installed lamp on ubuntu 8.10 and I remember setting up a root password in the wizard that started automatically after installation. Now when I say mysql -u root -p, then I get ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES).
[19:03] <mphill> mikebeecham: what exactly are you trying to do?  Are you willing to use the command line?
[19:03] <Zzeiss> Is there a way in Ubuntu to tell the network to connect to a particular channel for wifi (i.e. don't use the channel 42 a/n stuff, stay on channel 6 802.11b)?

[19:04] <psalias> hmm i have a problem with my wifi stick, works only propertly at usb1, i have problems at usb2
[19:04] <mphill> king: try no password, just hit enter
[19:04] <ikonia> vladtsepesh1984: it's a common complaint, just one of the factors of using a closed sourced protocol
[19:04] <Dr_Willis64> teadict,  you mean you want a file to go from foobar to FoObAr ?
[19:04] <Balian> #ubuntu.pl
[19:04] <mikebeecham> mphill: a customer has an AFP share setup on a server somewhere, and I want to be able to access it.  I have an afp:// url to go on, along with a username and password.  With regard to command line...if someone is able to talk me through it so that i can learn then...yes!
[19:05] <mphill> king: if that does not work run sudo mysql_secure_installation
[19:05] <teadict> Dr_Willis64: fOo -> FoO
[19:05] <vladtsepesh1984> ikonia: and the isn't a solution???
[19:05] <king> mphill, But I remember setting up a password, no password gives the same error but just with the NO argument in using password option.
[19:05] <ikonia> vladtsepesh1984: I've never seen one
[19:05] <vladtsepesh1984> perhaps another im apps???
[19:05] <king> mphill, I would like to know what has gone wrong. This is pretty much a clean installation.
[19:05] <ikonia> vladtsepesh1984:  the protocol is still the same, I've seen similar issues with amsn
[19:05] <Dr_Willis64> teadict You want it to always do 'alternative' upper/lower, or just 'switch' the existing cases? :)
[19:05] <rak00> any hack for U3 on ub ?
[19:05] <ikonia> Roulette: what ?
[19:05] <vladtsepesh1984> i'm sad about it....!!!!!
[19:05] <Dr_Willis64> teadict,  i would suggest a perl script or other language.. tr may be a bit difficlult to do that.
[19:05] <ikonia> oops
[19:06] <ikonia> rak00: what ?
[19:06] <teadict> Dr_Willis64: all uppers to lowers and lowers to uppers, so 'switch'
[19:06] <mphill> king: maybe you fat fingered the password?  i dunno? mysql_secure_installation will get you re-setup
[19:06] <teadict> Dr_Willis64: I know.. I'm breaking my brain here.. but it's gotta be bash :(
[19:06] <Roulette> why does xchat seem to have decided I -want- to come here right after installing it? x.x
[19:06] <rak00> U3 system... u find it on few devices... for me it's about my sandisk cruzer 8GO
[19:06] <hogdog> watchoo talking about Dr_Willis64?
[19:06] <rak00> it block a partition system form being deleted
[19:06] <ikonia> rak00: what's the problem with it ?
[19:06] <Dr_Willis64> teadict,  you may be able to do it with some fancy regreular experssions to tr.     theres dozens of upper/lowercase scripts/examples out there..
[19:07] <hogdog> Dr_Willis64 sorry, just wanted to say that. Don't tell Mr. Drummond
[19:07] <kellojoe> Hey, anybody there to suggest an english dictionary, preferably with thesaurus for Ubuntu Hardy?
[19:07] <Dr_Willis64> teadict,  sounds like you are doing some homework. :)
[19:07] <mphill> mikebeecham: netatalk is the package you want to install, its not too pretty.  just google netatalk with respect to ubuntu and you should be good to go as far as finding directions.  I've used netatalk, its sorta slow.  I would suggest samba.
[19:07] <rak00> i want to delete that partition
[19:07] <vladtsepesh1984> :'(
[19:07] <rak00> there is a free soft to do it on win
[19:07] <ikonia> rak00: and whats the problem ?
[19:07] <king> mphill, I get the same enter current password for root, and the same error. It doesn't want to accept the password that I had entered in the original configuration.
[19:07] <Dr_Willis64> rak00,  ive seen no way to delete that partiton under linux. i DO recall some hack/tools for them under windows.. but even then im not sure if they deleted that partition or not.
[19:07] <rak00> but i've found nothing to do it on a linux sys
[19:07] <teadict> Dr_Willis64: stupid Operating Systems class.. yeah.. if everybody would use linux, we wouldn't have to do this stupid exercises
[19:07] <ikonia> rak00: gparted should be able to modify and delte partitions
[19:07] <ikonia> Dr_Willis64: what's the difference with this device?
[19:07] <mikebeecham> mphill: samba is not a possibility...the share has already been set up on a mac as an AFP
[19:08] <Dr_Willis64> ikonia,  it has 2 partitions.. one shows up as a cdrom drive that has windows softwearew on it to allow 'stand alone' type apps and otehr features.. totally useless for linux users. :)
[19:08] <mphill> king: did you have the caps lock on by accident.
[19:08] <rak00> already tried gparted, fdisk, etc
[19:08] <Dr_Willis64> ikonia,  lets just say that i find U3 UUUseless3 :) from a linux users poont of view.
[19:08] <king> mphill, all caps password doesn't also work.
[19:09] <rak00> i umount the partition U3, change permissions and few others things
[19:09] <ikonia> Dr_Willis64 thanks for the explination
[19:09] <rak00> but nothing is working
[19:09] <Mohammad[B]> hi all

[19:09] <Jack_Sparrow> rak00 Get a free tool from the maker of your drive that will erase and clean the partition
[19:09] <rak00> i lake of theory to hack that thing... but there must be a way
[19:09] <Dr_Willis64> ikonia,  Its so nice when your 2gb thumbdrive is acatually NOT 2gb due to the U3 stuff taking part of it.
[19:09] <mphill> king: from the command line can you use sudo or not?
[19:09] <gabriela> how can i change my default dvd player for autorun?
[19:09] <rak00> this free tool is avaible just for win and mac, nothing for ub
[19:09] <Mohammad[B]> is red5 have repository for ubuntu ?

[19:10] <brad__> can someone tell me how to install kde4 on ubuntu 8.10?
[19:10] <Dr_Willis64> rak00,  google for the thing there are some tools/threads on how to 'hack' it under windows.  run it in wine.. or hack it on a windows box is about all you can try
[19:10] <ikonia> rak00: there is your answer then

[19:13] <Dr_Willis64> incorrect,  last i heard oo3 under ubuntu was very flakey.. There may be some better packages in the works. I imaginetheres a forum thread or 2 on the topic.
[19:13] <prahal_> incorrect, they are gone due to a critical bug in oo3-gtk

[19:14] <rlt> incorrect: that repository is down right now because the maintainer found some problems with the packages in it.  I have the wifi led is on but I cant see any networks
[19:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !tu
[19:15] <Dr_Willis64> incorrect,  given the # of people ive seen in the ubuntu channels with probloems with  oo3  so far. i dont want to mess with it. :) but i imagine it will get better as time goes on.
[19:15] <bojtel> anyone knows how I can get sopcast starting???
[19:15] <brad__> rlt: yep - on x86-64
[19:15] <Spiritual> Dr_Willis64: i think that the problem isn't in the settings
[19:16] <Joker_-_> !wifi > alper
[19:16]  * ice_cream blinks
[19:16] <incorrect> Dr_Willis64, i've not used it too much, but i've found it much better
[19:16] <Dr_Willis64> install sopcast ? read the sopcast docs..
[19:16] <rlt> brad__: I installed kubuntu-desktop on intrepid 64-bit the other day. It's KDE4.
[19:16] <bojtel> Dr-willis: doesnt wokr
[19:16] <KaZeR> hi there
[19:16] <Spiritual> Dr_Willis64: I've set good quality there but it keep bad
[19:16] <bojtel> work
[19:16] <prahal_> woot this scroll fast . So nobody use a custom gstreamer sink (for bluetooth headset for example). Otherwise I would be glad to find out how to have an asoundrc entry get added to the non custom alsasink dropdown
[19:16] <brad__> rlt: do I need to uninstall anything first?
[19:16] <Dr_Willis64> Spiritual,  could be lackluster drivers..  i would check cups.org for that specific printer and see what others say
[19:16] <rlt> brad__: so either you're on hardy, or something very weird is going on o.O
[19:17] <KaZeR> i have some issues getting a soundcard to work : 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) alsactl: save_state:1251: No soundcards found...
[19:17] <incorrect> rlt, i installed 8.10 64bit, just went back to 32bit as i need sun java moz plugin
[19:17] <KaZeR> which module am i supposed to use?
[19:17] <brad__> I installed on a fresh drive, just last week
[19:17] <Balian> a
[19:17] <Dr_Willis64> incorrect,  Hmm.. Im using 64bit here and java.. no problems..
[19:17] <Spiritual> Dr_Willis64:  good idea, i'll verify
[19:17] <l7> should pretty much everything in your home directory have permissions set to 755?
[19:17] <rlt> brad__: what version of kubuntu-desktop package do you have (look in Synaptic under "Latest Version"?
[19:17] <Wanderer> Can anyone tell me how to map ctrl-F9 for desktop 9 in kde4 ?
[19:18] <david_> anyone know how to install ati radeon 1650 pro graphics card on hardy?
[19:18] <Dr_Willis64> l7,  non executable files should not be executable. :)
[19:18] <brainzcan> is there a shortcut key config to get to the system management?
[19:18] <incorrect> Dr_Willis64, try an applet such as the remote management console on any RAC card
[19:18] <l7> Dr_Willis64: oh, i meant directories
[19:18] <brad__> rlt: will do, one minute
[19:18] <Maveas> How do I force mv to move 5 directories to /usr/bin
[19:18] <brainzcan> is there a shortcut key configuration to get to the system management???
[19:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo
[19:19] <brad__> rlt:: kubuntu desktop 1.101
[19:19] <ikonia> Maveas: mv direcotry /path/to/new/place
[19:19] <Dr_Willis64> l7,  for the most part yes.. and to fix all dirs i got a alias that is thisn ---> find -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755
[19:19] <Dr_Willis64>
[19:19] <prahal_> KaZeR, checked with lshw ? that the card is found and hhave a driver attached (I have an intel hda ICH6 rev 01 working Should be close to yours (though I am using a 2.6.28-rc6 home made kernel .. cannot till if the card is supported by your kernel
[19:19] <Maveas> ikonia: do I have to take one at a time?
[19:19] <brad__> rlt: installed version == latest versiob
[19:19] <nibsa1242b> I have a pdf, its a scan of a book. Its ugly, slightly blurry, and grey scale. Other then going page by page with GIMP is there a way to apply an unsharp mask (or something similar) and then change it to be just black and white (2color)?
[19:19] <Maveas> and I'm using sudo
[19:19] <rlt> brad__: so you installed it and logged into kde and definitely got kde3?
[19:19] <ikonia> Maveas: mv {dir1,dir2,dir3} /path/to/new
[19:19] <Maveas> Ah, nice, thanks
[19:19] <l7> Dr_Willis64: ah thanks, i'll give that a try in a minute
[19:20] <Dr_Willis64> l7,  that recursively does the change.. so be carefull
[19:20] <brad__> rlt: let me log out and long in again... brb
[19:20] <brainzcan> is there a shortcut key configuration to get to the system management?
[19:20] <rlt> brainzcan: what exactly do you mean by "system management"?
[19:20] <david_> anyone know how to install ati radeon 1650 pro graphics card on hardy?
[19:20] <brainzcan> system monitor
[19:20] <chainoo> hello
[19:20] <inktri> !hosts
[19:20] <inktri> how do you change hostname
[19:21] <inktri> !hostname
[19:21] <chainoo> i need help, i want to configure a linuxmail.org in my piggin client
[19:21] <chainoo> pidgin*
[19:21] <ikonia> chainoo: pidgin is not a mail client
[19:21] <l7> Dr_Willis64: recursively from whatever directory i start in?  i guesss i can try it out in a sub directory before using it on  ~
[19:21] <Dr_Willis64> l7,  yes.. :) be carefull with it.
[19:21] <KaZeR> prahal_, relevant part : http://pastebin.com/da3c8c8a
[19:22] <l7> Dr_Willis64: what could go wrong though?
[19:22] <KaZeR> so it looks like the right module isn't loaded
[19:22] <chainoo> i need a chat email, like a hotmail,
[19:22] <l7> aside from using it outside of ~ and messing up stuff systemwide maybe
[19:22] <Dr_Willis64> l7,  changing the dirs from / as root.. could goof things up in /tmp and so forth..
[19:22] <prahal_> nibsa1242b, unpaper
[19:22] <l7> ah yeah
[19:22] <rlt> brainzcan: ah. There isn't one built into gnome. You could use something like xbindkeys if you really need one.
[19:22] <Dr_Willis64> l7,  as a user.. proberly not much. i doubt if your user has any 777 dirs
[19:22] <chainoo> #ubuntu-es
[19:22] <brainzcan> i do
[19:23] <Maveas> mv keeps saying "can't move 'directory' to /usr/share/ - directory not empty
[19:23] <rlt> brainzcan: take a look in your favorite search engine for web pages about xbindkeys in Ubuntu, then. I haven't used it, but it looks like what you need.
[19:24] <brainzcan> rlt: thanks anything at this point, if i have to restart my box again I swear i will go back to windows
[19:24] <brad__> rlt: back on KDE
[19:25] <gavagai>  How do I make my laptop shut down ALWAYS when I close the lid?  It is pretty ridiculous that if I have Transmission or VLC open, they by default prevent the computer going to sleep.  i just pulled a molten laptop out of my bag.
[19:25] <brad__> rlt: so you are right it's kde4.1 but....
[19:25] <alper> I read the wifi docs but I am still getting no scan results with iwlist
[19:25] <moir> hello
[19:25] <brad__> when I run KDevelop and do help->About KDE the version reported is 3.5.10
[19:25] <moir> i have problem with mrtg any body help me? plis prv
[19:26] <michael_> Ok. Crazy question. Is there a way (preferably easy), to unrar every file within a directory? I'd likely have to use recursive to ensure it searches through sub directories.
[19:26] <rlt> brad__: not sure why that is. Might wanna ask in #kubuntu, they deal more with KDE apps and packaging
[19:26] <Jophish> hi all
[19:27] <rlt> brad__: looks like kdevelop in the repos is version 3.5.3, though, which might have something to do with it.
[19:27] <moir> witan
[19:27] <moir> witam
[19:28] <brad__> rlt: thanks dude, you've been a big help... I'll wander over and ask the kubuntu folks
[19:28] <Jophish> I'm sure it is possible to do, how can I make a "folder" that will just be a portal to another folder somewhere else. So if I save something in the link folder, it will appear in the real folder, and so if i change something in the real folder, it will be changed in the symbolic folder, Thanks
[19:29] <rlt> Jophish: you'd use a "symbolic link". Usual way of doing it is ln -s realfolder linkfolder, or Ctrl-Shift-drag in GNOME file manager
[19:30] <bustaplz> Are there any good apps out there for doing a batch conversion of .jpg to .bmp?
[19:30] <Jophish> ok, so I control shift drag the real folder, to where I want the link to be?
[19:30] <rlt> Jophish: yes
[19:30] <chandra> solo
[19:30] <bobthemil> I seem to have installed ubuntu without installing X. Any help on getting started?
[19:30] <rlt> bobthemil: install the ubuntu-desktop package if you want X and Gnome
[19:31] <bobthemil> k
[19:31] <bobthemil> I'll see if there's anything else I need after that
[19:31] <Lava> hey, im looking for a command to totally format my computer
[19:31] <prahal_> KaZeR, http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2011661#p2011661 it is in french but the commands to apply are universal (it seems one need ubuntu 8.10 and to download and install alsa 1.0.17
[19:31] <bustaplz> Lava: download Darik's Boot and Nuke
[19:32] <bustaplz> Lava: or some sort of CD with DBAN
[19:32] <bustaplz> Lava: http://www.dban.org/
[19:33] <rlt> Lava: Get the CD image from http://www.dban.org/download , burn it to a CD, and boot from it.
[19:33] <ice_cream> hmm, sometimes  umount takes like 20 sec to unmount a drive.. is this normal?
[19:33] <bustaplz> rlt: beat you to it =P
[19:33] <bustaplz> ice_cream: what kind of drive?
[19:33] <rlt> ice_cream: Did you copy files to it while using it? If so, it's probably syncing them to the drive.
[19:33] <ice_cream> network share
[19:34] <rlt> ice_cream: but yeah, especially over a network, that's normal
[19:34] <Lava> thx bustaplz & rlt
[19:34] <ice_cream> say i had a network share mounted, and restarted that computer while accessing the locally mounted dir
[19:34] <bustaplz> ice_cream: 20 seconds is a bit long, but mounting network shares can take a bit for me
[19:34] <bustaplz> Lava: not a problem
[19:34] <bustaplz> Lava: happy to help
[19:35] <Lava> all this mess just because i cant boot hardy no more... :(
[19:35] <asrael> hi
[19:35] <ice_cream> so what happens is that any   ls or df kinda hangs
[19:35] <asrael> im getting very high cpu sys usage on my 8.10, any idea?
[19:35] <david_> anyone know how to install ati radeon 1650 pro graphics card on hardy?
[19:35] <ice_cream> until i umount it, which takes 20+ sec
[19:35] <bustaplz> Lava: you don't really need DBAN to fix boot issues
[19:36] <bustaplz> asrael: is it a new install?
[19:36] <rlt> asrael: System > Administration > System Monitor, Processes tab, sort by % CPU and find otu which specific process is causing it
[19:36] <Maveas> wtf, don' get it
[19:36] <apfelkuchen> asrael: which kernel are you booting from?
[19:36] <asrael> bustaplz, about one month, have been running it w/o any problem it started just now
[19:36] <Maveas> cant move those directories
[19:36] <Maveas> :'/
[19:36] <Lava> bustaplz, i have tried for hours to fix hardy, running feisty now
[19:36] <asrael> apfelkuchen, default
[19:36] <bustaplz> asrael: if you're running LAMP, check that first
[19:36] <asrael>  2.6.27-7-server
[19:36] <Lava> bustaplz, even reinstalled it, but it is still messed up
[19:36] <rlt> Lava: oh. You don't need DBAN to just format to reinstall. DBAN is more for formatting prior to selling a hard-drive so all the data that was on it is unrecoverable
[19:37] <bustaplz> Lava: what kind of messed up?
[19:37] <rlt> Lava: I mean, you could use DBAN for reinstalling, but there's quicker ways of doing it =/
[19:37] <asrael> bustaplz, i dont get high cpu on any specific running program, but top shows high sy%
[19:37] <asrael> and also high load
[19:37] <bustaplz> Lava: rlt is right, DBAN is more for secure formatting, if you just want to format for a reinstall using something like gParted is easier
[19:38] <Lava> bustaplz, there were some boot problems, and i tried fixing it with fsck but ever since everything got messed up. i can't even boot it anymore. that is why i thought i just might reinstall from a formatted disk
[19:38] <bustaplz> Lava: are you having issues with GRUB?
[19:38] <bustaplz> asrael: what process is showing the highest cpu load?
[19:39] <asrael> utorrent
[19:39] <Lava> bustaplz, i have no idea, how can i tell?
[19:39] <bustaplz> asrael: how much?
[19:39] <bustaplz> Lava: do you know  what GRUB is?
[19:39] <asrael> 30%
[19:39] <asrael> thats normal, i had that before, but that counts as us% not sy%
[19:39] <bustaplz> asrael: if you're not currently downloading or seeding, that is too high
[19:39] <Lava> bustaplz, no
[19:40] <asrael> i know, im dling fast
[19:40] <bustaplz> Lava: GRUB is a bootloader, do you only have Ubuntu installed?
[19:40] <bustaplz> asrael: any other processes running over 5%?
[19:40] <ZaferCelik> hi
[19:40] <Lava> bustaplz, yup
[19:40] <asrael> no, just that
[19:41] <lappy1> yo, i'm curious if it's possible to use my laptop's ir port to emulate an IR keyboard to type on a psp?
[19:41] <bustaplz> asrael right now I have no processes running over 2% cpu, that includes Songbird and Firefox with about 15 tabs open
[19:41] <lappy1> i would think it's possible, but i've been searching and reading all morning with no results
[19:41] <bustaplz> asrael: I would kill utorrent and see what happens
[19:41] <l7> lappy1: maybe, but you might need some fancy drivers
[19:41] <asrael> ill do that
[19:41] <l7> or the ability to write your own
[19:41] <rlt> What command do I issue to see a list of swap partitions in use on my system?
[19:42] <bobthemil> I used my laptop's wireless card to install ubuntu, but now it's not configured (not recognized as eth0). Does anyone know how to configure a wireless card and set it up for DHCP using only a command line?
[19:42] <bustaplz> rlt: sudo fdisk -l or mount
[19:42] <Ceiling_Cat> Is there a way to apt-get install ocropus (e.g, a way to install it that doesn't require installing tesseract from source?)
[19:42] <bustaplz> Lava: what happens when you try to boot into Ubuntu?
[19:42] <Ceiling_Cat> Tesseract won't compile for me, so I'm stuck
[19:42] <Lava> bustaplz, depends what version of ubuntu
[19:42] <Lava> bustaplz, i can run feisty, but i cant run hardy
[19:43] <bustaplz> Lava: what happens when you try to boot Hardy
[19:43] <bustaplz> Lava: and are you talking about booting into an installed system or just booting the LiveCD?
[19:43] <david_> ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CHECK IF MY GRAPHICS CARD IS WORKING PROPERLY?
[19:43] <Jack_Sparrow> !caps > david_
[19:43] <david_> sry caps
[19:43] <lappy1> i'm totally loving the new eye candy in the 8.10 release on this lappy
[19:43] <lappy1> dell 8100*
[19:43] <harry_v> What makes ubunto better the say centos?
[19:43] <bustaplz> david_: System > Administration > Hardware Testing
[19:43] <penguinmessiah> hello
[19:43] <Lava> bustaplz, when i run hardy it ends up on a black screen filled with bad stuff
[19:44] <Lava> bustaplz, and i cant start from the cd
[19:44] <penguinmessiah> how do i change my location??
[19:44] <bustaplz> Lava: did you install Hardy?
[19:44] <Ceiling_Cat> Anyone? Is there a way to apt-get install ocropus?
[19:44] <rlt> bustaplz: hmm. I have a swap partition on /dev/sda2 that shows up in fdisk and is in fstab, but doesn't show up on mount.
[19:44] <stefano> hi!
[19:44] <stefano> someone can help me?
[19:44] <robb_m> !ask
[19:44] <penguinmessiah> im sure they can
[19:44] <bustaplz> rlt: if it shows up with fdisk it means it's there but not mounted
[19:44] <Lava> bustaplz, yeah i did. half a year ago
[19:44] <bustaplz> Lava: oh so it was working
[19:45] <penguinmessiah> how can i change my location so i can register for spotify
[19:45] <Jack_Sparrow> swapon
[19:45] <bustaplz> Lava: are you booting into the GUI?
[19:45] <l7> lappy1: if you can SSH into your PSP, that might be easier if you want to use the keyboard on it for certain tasks
[19:45] <rlt> bustaplz: that's what I figured. I did sudo swapon /dev/sda2, but it errors with "swapon: /dev/sda2: Device or resource busy"
[19:45] <robb_m> stefano, whats your question?
[19:45] <kek> why do my disks show up as for example /dev/sda in the installer when they are IDE drives?
[19:45] <bustaplz> rlt: hmmm, thats strange
[19:45] <stefano> my cousin had upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10
[19:45] <bustaplz> rlt: you may be past my ability to help you =P
[19:45] <rlt> bustaplz: so I did swapoff then swapon, and it didn't error, but it's still not showing up in mount
[19:46] <stefano> now it cant start ubuntu
[19:46] <Lava> bustaplz, yeah it was working. but one day there was a problem when i booted. after i fsck'ed everything got worse. and no, i cant get into the GUI
[19:46] <bustaplz> rlt: let me look at my swap
[19:46] <rlt> bustaplz: yeah, can you double-check that you see it in mount?
[19:46] <rookeeeeeeeee> how do i tell what hidden services are running?
[19:46] <bustaplz> Lava: and the black screen with the messed up stuff is in terminal?
[19:46] <Jack_Sparrow> kek all drives will show as sd..
[19:46] <lappy1> tnx l7
[19:47] <asrael> bustaplz, that was the guilty... but i dont understand how, since its been running for a month now, why start giving high sys now. and why not shows as "user" and not "system"
[19:47] <Lava> bustaplz, yep, entire black screen filled with lines about serious errors and stuff
[19:47] <bustaplz> asrael: running for a month without shutting down?
[19:47] <kek> Jack_Sparrow: is that some special scsi-emulation of ide drives or is that just the way it is in linux now?
[19:47] <bustaplz> Lava: you can read these errors?
[19:47] <Jack_Sparrow> kek just the way it is
[19:48] <bustaplz> rlt: I don't see my swap with mount
[19:48] <Lava> bustaplz, not now no :)
[19:48] <atomo> mitso??
[19:48] <asrael> bustaplz, maybe once
[19:48] <Jack_Sparrow> kek I am sure you can find detailed info as to why, but it has been that way for awhile
[19:48] <kek> Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks.
[19:48] <jschall> how can i tell if qemu is actually using kvm?
[19:48] <bustaplz> Lava: doesn't sound like much of a difficult issue, why can't you boot from the CD?
[19:48] <Jack_Sparrow> bustaplz what is in your fstab
[19:48] <robb_m> Jack_Sparrow, been that way since 2006 (when i first started ubuntu) :)
[19:48] <bustaplz> asrael: try starting uTorrent up again, see if it comes back at that 30% cpu
[19:48] <rlt> bustaplz: Okay. Guess I'm back to my original question, then :)
[19:48] <Lava> because it jams at 11%. but the boot cd is good since i already installed ubuntu with it before
[19:49] <Lava> bustaplz, because it jams at 11%. but the boot cd is good since i already installed ubuntu with it before
[19:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Lava are you trying to install on a Dell or HP..
[19:49] <bustaplz> rlt: I see my swap in fdisk, I thought it should show up in mount also but I was wrong =D
[19:49] <david_> how do you register with launchpad?
[19:49] <bustaplz> Lava: there is a md5 check on the LiveCD, right?
[19:49] <cheaboi> is it possiable to share a file on ubuntu via network to my other computer which is vista?
[19:49] <robb_m> bustaplz, yeah there is....
[19:50] <rlt> david_: https://launchpad.net/+login
[19:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Lava Some Dell and HP require the disk be burned at a very slow speed..  even if it self tests fine. there can be an issue
[19:50] <robb_m> !samba | cheaboi
[19:50] <bustaplz> Lava: I would run that, make sure the CD is good
[19:50] <nT4BR> hi guys i need help for configure my keyboard
[19:50] <Lava> bustaplz, do you mean memory test? yep i did
[19:50] <bustaplz> Jack_Sparrow: Why do you want to know about my fstab?
[19:50] <bustaplz> Lava: no, there is a test to make sure the CD isn't corrupt
[19:51] <Jack_Sparrow> bustaplz were you having swapon issues or rtl
[19:51] <bustaplz> Lava: if it's hanging at install that may be your issue, if it doesn't boot at all you need to re burn it
[19:51] <Lava> bustaplz, but i know for sure the cd is good, since i used the exact same cd before on this pc
[19:51] <bustaplz> Jack_Sparrow: rlt was having swap issues(i guess they are issues)
[19:51] <rlt> Jack_Sparrow: I think it was less "swapon issues" and more bustaplz and I being wrong about whether mount lists swap partitions
[19:51] <bustaplz> Lava: how long ago
[19:52] <bustaplz> Jack_Sparrow: rlt is right, I was just trying to help him compare to my system
[19:52] <bustaplz> Jack_Sparrow: because my system works and he seems to be having issues
[19:52] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[19:52] <bustaplz> Lava: If you can't boot from your Hardy CD formatting your drive won't change that
[19:52] <Lava> bustaplz, humz about six months
[19:53] <Lava> aha ok, so what should i do
[19:53] <bustaplz> Lava: it sounds like the disk got scratched or went bad
[19:53] <bustaplz> Lava: I would just re-burn the iso, or burn the latest iso
[19:53] <kek> i blew my grub config by reinstalling windows. i have my linux operating system root installed on /dev/sdb2. i start up on the ubuntu 8.10 install cd, mount /dev/sdb2 on /media/disk, and run "sudo grub-install root=/media/disk /dev/sdb2", looks normal, but when i restart, windows comes up as usual. what am i doing wrong?
[19:53] <Lava> aight, ok gonna try that
[19:53] <Lava> thanks
[19:53] <bustaplz> Lava: I know I've had to reburn many an iso
[19:53] <bustaplz> Lava: hope you get it working, bud
[19:54] <penguinmessiah> how do i change locations in ubuntu?
[19:54] <bustaplz> Lava: also make sure to burn the iso at a slow speed on a good quality disc

[19:55] <penguinmessiah> slimeyPete from usa to eu
[19:55] <bustaplz> okay, back to the reason I logged on IRC, I need to batch convert some .jpg album art to .bmp
[19:55] <Lava> bustaplz, thanks for the help! cu
[19:55] <kek> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, that is the problem.
[19:55] <x-kent> in what file can I review the messages I get during the bootime ?
[19:56] <Jack_Sparrow> kek set bios to boot second drive if it will let you
[19:56] <Jack_Sparrow> x-kent dmesg
[19:56] <comradekingu> !mount | flambyx
[19:58] <x-kent> Jack_Sparrow, some messages aren't there.. is there any other place I can look for ?
[19:58] <Jack_Sparrow> x-kent try forming a more complete question and include what version of ubuntu you are using
[19:59] <x-kent> I get something like "not automatically fixing this" during boot, it's right after the filesystem gets mounted but "dmesg|grep automatic" gives nothing
[19:59] <x-kent> I am on ubuntu 8.10 (desktop)
[19:59] <Jack_Sparrow> x-kent grep for EE or ee ?
[20:00] <rookeeeeeeeee> how do i tell what hidden services are running?
[20:00] <dropper> rookeeeeeeeee: no fair peeking!
[20:00] <x-kent> Jack_Sparrow, dmesg|grep ee ?
[20:00] <Maveas> How do I move more than one folder at a time to another folder which root only have rights to?
[20:00] <Jack_Sparrow> x-kent it might just be seeing a floppy drive and not be of any real importance
[20:00] <illissius`> hi
[20:01] <kek> Jack_Sparrow: i got it to work now, thanks for listening
[20:01] <bimberi> rookeeeeeeeee: system -> administration -> system monitor
[20:01] <Jack_Sparrow> great
[20:01] <illissius`> anyone happen to know a way to 'unplug' / 'replug' a touchpad? some sort of command to do this.
[20:01] <rookeeeeeeeee> bimberi, that doesnt show what programs are "hidden"
[20:01] <Jack_Sparrow> kek did booting the other drive work
[20:02] <x-kent> Jack_Sparrow, it's gives a table of some values (I don't have enough time to read it at it continues to boot) and then /dev/sda2 mounted or something, so I think it's related to my filesystem
[20:02] <x-kent> can I somehow pause the boot proccess to read the message ?
[20:02] <bimberi> rookeeeeeeeee: how do you know?
[20:02] <Jack_Sparrow> x-kent I thought you could hit pause..
[20:02] <rookeeeeeeeee> bimberi, because i looked
[20:02] <x-kent> err, didn't try that :-)
[20:02] <x-kent> gonna reboot.
[20:03] <kek> Jack_Sparrow: i didn't try changing in the bios, i just gave /dev/sda as argument to grub instead of /dev/sdb2
[20:03] <Jack_Sparrow> kek cool. ty
[20:03] <bimberi> rookeeeeeeeee: where?
[20:03] <rookeeeeeeeee> bimbo
[20:03] <rookeeeeeeeee> sorry
[20:03] <Strife89> Quick question: Ubuntu keeps marking my MP3 player read-only because of a corrupted file. Any way to force read-write so I can delete said file?
[20:03] <rookeeeeeeeee> couldnt resist
[20:03] <illissius`> nm, solved.
[20:04] <ZehRique> Hello friends! Could anyone help me with an issue between PulseAudio and Skype?
[20:04] <rookeeeeeeeee> just kidding!
[20:04] <rookeeeeeeeee> :)
[20:04] <Strife89> !read-only
[20:04] <rookeeeeeeeee> bimberi i looked in the system processes
[20:04] <bimberi> rookeeeeeeeee: my humblest apologies, seems I mistook you for someone looking for help
[20:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Strife89 you need a manual force mount command?
[20:05] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo mkdir /media/locked-drive then sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/locked-drive -o force  substitute your locked drive for sda1
[20:05] <Strife89> Jack_Sparrow: Basically.
[20:05] <hb> could somebody give explain how to find the "Exact" value of sin(arccos(3/7))  I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around what the book is telling me.
[20:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Strife89 close enough
[20:05] <Strife89> Jack_Sparrow: Alrighty, I'll try it.
[20:05] <antonio_> buenas
[20:05] <Jack_Sparrow> hb Offtopic.. sorry
[20:06] <rookeeeeeeeee> bimberi, i apologize
[20:06] <x-kent> Jack_Sparrow, didn't work, I pressed pause many times it still booted without stopping
[20:06] <hb> oh wait i'm sorry thought I was in the math channel :x
[20:06] <hb> my ba
[20:06] <hb> bad*
[20:06] <Strife89> Jack_Sparrow: Actually, any better way, since it's already mounted?
[20:06] <Jack_Sparrow> x-kent Still kinda fuzzy in the am here
[20:06] <rookeeeeeeeee> anyway
[20:06] <antonio_> can you speak spanish???
[20:06] <rookeeeeeeeee> how do i tell what hidden services are running?
[20:06] <Merikan> anyone good with tethering a blackjack i607??
[20:06] <Condoulo> ok, I can't change my refresh rate to anything above 60Hz, and this is highly annoying. the proper refresh rates won't show in the resolution tool or Catalyst Center. I have an ATI Radeon Xpress 200, and I have the proprietary drivers installed. And yes, I am using a CRT. So anybody here know anything about it? Like what config file I can use to change it if possibly (since xorg.conf no longer holds that information)
[20:06] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/locked-drive -o force  substitute your locked drive for sda1
[20:07] <Strife89> Jack_Sparrow: It's FAT, just so you know. :)
[20:07] <Jack_Sparrow> x-kent umount before you try and mount
[20:07] <Teisei> Why can't I use OBEX Push? It keeps telling that OBEX Push file transfer is unsupported? I'm trying to send files to my mobile phone
[20:07] <rookeeeeeeeee> does anyone know how to tell if a program is running in the background?
[20:07] <c0p3rn1c> hi, I'm trying to edit boot.ini and make ubuntu the default os is this correct : default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\wubildr.mbr="Ubuntu"
[20:07] <largos> I'm trying to upgrade a XUbuntu 8.04 install to 8.10, but the update manager doesn't seem to know about the new release.  Does anyone know how I can figure out what's going on?
[20:07] <c0p3rn1c> ?
[20:07] <apfelkuchen> Alright, I updated to 8.10 a while ago and the newer kernel (2.6.27-7, I think) makes my system really really slow -- I have to choose to boot 2.6.24-21 at GRUB.  Anyone know why this is?
[20:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Strife89 stick the flash into a windows box and properly unmount it..
[20:07] <Merikan> im trying to tether with my mobile phone
[20:08] <largos> c0p3rn1c: ps -ef | grep -I <program name>
[20:08] <Merikan> gnome-ppp isnt having it
[20:08] <Condoulo> Anybody in here know how to configure the ATI drivers so I can get a proper refresh rate?
[20:08] <Jack_Sparrow> c0p3rn1c That is a wubi install .. right?.. not a real install on a partition
[20:08] <x-kent> Jack_Sparrow,  "dmesg|grep clean" didn't report a "/dev/sda1 clean..."  and that message is appears when I boot so seems dmesg does not have all logged or something
[20:08] <rlt> rookeeeeeeeee: Sys > Admin > System Monitor, then View > All Processes
[20:08] <c0p3rn1c> Jack_Sparrow: idd
[20:08] <Jack_Sparrow> x-kent fsck it manually
[20:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !fsck
[20:09] <Zzeiss> Any clue as to why an up-to-date Ubuntu 8.10 goes into ultra-slow-printing when sending a job to an HP2605 color laser?  All other functionality seems fine, the machine doesn't slow down, but it literally takes 40 minutes a page to print.
[20:09] <le1> hello
[20:09] <Merikan> Anyone tethering to their mobile AT&T phone from broadband access??
[20:09] <c0p3rn1c> Jack_Sparrow: ehm the windows boot loader is still installed ..
[20:10] <purvesh> any 1 have good configration in amd pc.
[20:10] <Jack_Sparrow> c0p3rn1c I know what wubi is..  (and I hate it)
[20:10] <c0p3rn1c> Jack_Sparrow: currently I have the win boot loader and grub
[20:10] <le1> i need a help with wired connecting ( how to use it )
[20:10] <rlt> larry: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades
[20:10] <rlt> larry: sorry, wrong user
[20:10] <rlt> right one left :(
[20:10] <conal> how might i find greek characters and other mathy symbols for use in Inkscape?
[20:10] <le1> how do i use the wired connecting
[20:10] <c0p3rn1c> Jack_Sparrow: fsck will do the trick ?
[20:11] <Jack_Sparrow> c0p3rn1c Not for your issue.. no
[20:11] <Merikan> ANYONE USING GNOME-PPP with BLACKJACK mobile????

[20:11] <humphrey> hello. is there a file-finding program/tool on xubuntu?
[20:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Merikan Please lose the caps
[20:11] <uberadm> I'm looking to install kubuntu on my 1.4ghz (celeron) with 256 mb of ram (I know its bad)... do you think it will be ok?
[20:11] <c0p3rn1c> Jack_Sparrow: I just use wubi for a test run
[20:11] <Joker_-_> humphrey: you can always use "locate" in console
[20:11] <Merikan> humphrey try the whereis command
[20:11] <humphrey> nice1 joker :-)
[20:12] <humphrey> yep
[20:12] <Jack_Sparrow> c0p3rn1c changing the bootloader for it to be the default feels like way more than a test drive
[20:12] <Merikan> exit
[20:13] <c0p3rn1c> Jack_Sparrow: yeah its to force my parents to use ubuntu lol
[20:13] <Condoulo> How can I configure my ATI drivers to get a proper refresh rate for a CRT (85Hz on this), if it won't show in the Screen Resolution tool, or Catalyst. I am using Ubuntu 8.10, with the proprietary drivers, for an ATI Radeon Xpress 200.
[20:13] <Jack_Sparrow> uberadm You wont get performance at 256 especially if you are sharing ram for the video card
[20:13] <Strife89> Jack_Sparrow: I appreciate the help; nailed it.
[20:13] <le1> i am working on usb connecting and i need to work on wireless router how ?!
[20:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Strife89 cool
[20:13] <x-kent> Jack_Sparrow, I found when it was comming from, I have /dev/sda4 10gb vfat with XP on it, when I do fsck.vfat /dev/sda4 it says it has differences in boot sector and it can restore it from original or backup the current one, any idea what should I do ?
[20:13] <le1> i am working on usb connecting and i need to work on wireless router how ?!?!?!
[20:14] <dnyy> Anyone know of a guide to installing ubuntu from an external HD?  All I can find is how to install it to one. :x
[20:14] <rlt> c0p3rn1c: rather than editing the boot.ini directly, use the instructions in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022
[20:14] <Jack_Sparrow> x-kent scarry..  if the current one does not work you can try the backup, but may I suggest you backup your partition info first
[20:14] <lefix> Gnea: im back again
[20:14] <Joker_-_> Condoulo: google for xorg.conf
[20:14] <rlt> c0p3rn1c: see the section "Setting the Default Operating System"
[20:14] <le1> how to work in wireless  router in ubuntu :S
[20:14] <Joker_-_> Condoulo: you should be able to set resolutions and refresh rates trough that file
[20:15] <lefix> are you available at the moment, Gnea?
[20:15] <Condoulo> Joker_-_, really? I know recent versions of xorg does not put video configuration in there anymore.
[20:15] <c0p3rn1c> rlt: ok thx, I'll be sure to check it out
[20:15] <Jack_Sparrow> x-kent Backing up the mbr... Go to Terminal.. cd Desktop .... sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr.backup bs=512 count=1   Note: 512 includes all partition info.. Use 446 To exclude partition info... To include the first partition (16 bytes) use 462... Second Partition 478... Third 478... Use hda if needed on your system... copy mbr.backup to a USB Drive (or any media acessible from livecd)
[20:15] <topgun17> any clues on how to solve this http://pastebin.ca/1273924
[20:15] <uberadm> Jack_Sparrow: Okay, is there a stripped down version of ubuntu available?
[20:15] <Joker_-_> Condoulo: hummm... I might be wrong but irc, even nvidia configuration tool sets it there... as said, I might be wrong tho.
[20:16] <Jack_Sparrow> topgun17 Please dont post just a link, we need a description
[20:16] <le1> i am working on usb connecting and i need to work on wireless router how ?!???? pls help
[20:16] <Condoulo> Joker_-_, I'll give it a try. But I didn't see any configuration for my ATI there.

[20:17] <Joker_-_> topgun17: see what rlt said. seems to be your problem
[20:17] <topgun17> I have it off rft
[20:17] <x-kent> Jack_Sparrow, if I check the XP and it's ok, may I just decide "backup original" option in order to get rid of that message at boot. Because as far as I know currently everything works fine.

[20:27] <melnik> it seem that ubuntu users use gnome/kde  only
[20:28] <hwilde> lefix, what's up now
[20:28] <Zzeiss> le1: that router doesn't seem to have USB connectivity.  It's ethernet.  Are you sure that's what you have?
[20:28] <lefix> hey hwilde
[20:28] <hwilde> !gdm | melnik
[20:28] <hwilde> eh
[20:28] <melnik> yes yes
[20:28] <le1> i have modem and router :S
[20:28] <melnik> but gdm also can not do it
[20:28] <le1> now i using the modem
[20:28] <paul68> hi I'm thinking of formatting my harddrive and I want to keep the 2 current partitions is there a way that I can use a former windows partitions as my home partition or is this a no go? secondly how do I create a home directory on a new partition?
[20:28] <hwilde> melnik, what do you want to do exactly
[20:28] <lefix> you know i was trying to configure my system with the sudo dpkg --configure -a, but it doesnt work, don know why, schould i pastebin?
[20:29] <le1> but i need to work on the router
[20:29] <melnik> it not run my .xsession file
[20:29] <hwilde> lefix, pastebin
[20:29] <hwilde> melnik, what is in your .xsession file that you want to run
[20:29] <Jack_Sparrow> paul68 no you cant use a windows partition for home unless you format to ext
[20:29] <Zzeiss> le1: Oh... so how are you connecting to the internet right now?  Cable modem?  DSL modem?  Telephone line?
[20:29] <hwilde> paul68, you can overwrite that windows partition and use it.
[20:29] <melnik> I have on all my systems : gentoo freebsd , tow file .Xdefaults and .xsession , that run my default dwm window manager
[20:29] <le1> i am using the modem usb
[20:30] <melnik> in ubuntu that way do not work for me
[20:30] <paul68> hwilde Jack_Sparrow : so I have to backup all that data first to be on the safe side
[20:30] <purvesh> melnik: How do can register channel or nick i'm new user.
[20:30] <hwilde> paul68, yes definitely make backups
[20:30] <Zzeiss> le1; so one end goes into the USB port.  Where does the other one go?  Telephone line?  (and what kind of modem, because I need one!)
[20:30] <Jack_Sparrow> paul68 formatting to a linux system will erase everything on the partition
[20:30] <melnik> purvesh: what ?
[20:30] <Zzeiss> le1: that is, what brand and model of USB modem are you using?
[20:30] <hwilde> purvesh, /msg nickserv helpregister
[20:31] <hwilde> purvesh, /msg nickserv help register
[20:31] <Jack_Sparrow> purvesh you were given that info earlier
[20:31] <hwilde> sry there is a space there
[20:31] <anakln> Hello all, where can I find my CDROM/DVD device? isn't it usually in /dev/sdx or /dev/hdx

[20:31] <anakln> all i can see are just hard disks
[20:31] <hwilde> anabolix, /media
[20:31] <hwilde> anakln, /media
[20:31] <melnik> hi people of ubuntu ,. why user like me can not understand how it works :(
[20:31] <anakln> hwilde, hehe. yeah, i've checked the page
[20:31] <hwilde> melnik, you made it this far. what doesn't work exactly
[20:32] <Jack_Sparrow> melnik perhaps a channel where they speak your native language
[20:32] <bdelin88> DAMNIT
[20:32] <paul68> hwilde: Jack_Sparrow: ok will do and I guess I can't move the current linux partition towards the liberated space on the old windows c drive right
[20:32] <hwilde> !language > bdelin88
[20:32] <bdelin88> i just let ubuntu do an update and it completely crashed X
[20:32] <richter696> /dev/sdc or /dev/hdc
[20:32] <Zzeiss> anakln: Sometimes it comes thru that way.  Start a log in one terminal with "sudo tail -f /var/log/messages", then put a music CD in and see what the log tells you.
[20:32] <Jack_Sparrow> paul68 note that the uuid will change and require some manual rework
[20:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !uuid
[20:32] <hwilde> anakln, it's in /media/cdrom usually
[20:32] <bdelin88> you have got to be kidding me
[20:32] <lefix> hwilde cant open pastebin sry
[20:32] <hwilde> lefix, sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[20:32] <Zzeiss> anakln: The log file will give you some messages that will say where it's mounting the CD (assuming you have automount enabled).
[20:32] <Jack_Sparrow> bdelin88 have you made any changes to your sources list
[20:33] <bdelin88> didn't do jack
[20:33] <melnik> hwilde: "exec /home/user/.dwmrc" in .xsession file , where .dwmrc just bash script that run my dwm
[20:33] <anakln> hwilde, so if i type in this cmd `hdparm /media/cdrom' it'd work?
[20:33] <paul68> Jack_Sparrow: ok thanks
[20:33] <Jack_Sparrow> paul68 np
[20:33] <anakln> Zzeiss, ok, will check it out.
[20:33] <hwilde> melnik, why in the world would you want to do this....
[20:33] <melnik> hwilde: this line do not work
[20:33] <le1> in my modem there is one for usb , one  for the power cable , and the telephone line go to the d-link
[20:33] <Jack_Sparrow> bdelin88 any manually added programs or drivers, run any scripts etc?
[20:33] <nbeebo> !mount
[20:33] <hwilde> melnik, would you like to know the easy way to run an alternate window manager?
[20:33] <SpriteSODA> hi guys. anyone knows how can i share my internet connection with my XBOX360 using my ethernet card?
[20:33] <melnik> yes
[20:33] <melnik> please
[20:33] <melnik> hwilde: yes
[20:33] <bdelin88> i installed a theme lately but that shouldn't be the problem
[20:34] <hwilde> melnik, you can install kde very easily through synaptic
[20:34] <nbeebo> !xbox
[20:34] <hwilde> melnik, or you can install xfce by the xubuntu-desktop package
[20:34] <le1> terayon 715 my modem
[20:34] <hwilde> melnik,  or you can install icewm package for another lightweight window manager
[20:34] <Jack_Sparrow> bdelin88 can you start by pastebinning your sources list
[20:34] <melnik> hwilde: aaaaa do not use this peace of junk
[20:34] <lefix> hwilde: damit error xD
[20:34] <bdelin88> 1 sec
[20:34] <hwilde> melnik, sudo apt-get install icewm
[20:34] <melnik> hwilde:
[20:34] <jhamlin> Hi folks I'm having trouble mounting a samba thingy with cifs and fstab.  The problem is that I get "permission denied" if I try to view the files as a normal (non-root) user.  Here is my fstab line: "//IP/User\040Files /home/me/fooserver_user_files       cifs    defaults,user,credentials=/root/.samba/fooserver,uid=1000,gid=1000      0       0".  How can I get this to work????? PS this exact line worked fine when I used smbfs instead of cifs...
[20:34] <melnik> ok fine
[20:34] <Zzeiss> le1: Um.... that doesn't make sense.
[20:35] <humphrey> hey whats the command to delete stuff please?
[20:35] <hwilde> melnik, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[20:35] <Zzeiss> le1: the modem should connect only telephone line and USB and power.  It should not connect to the router.
[20:35] <Jack_Sparrow> rm
[20:35] <melnik> use emacs not vi , use icewm not dwm , use this do not use that
[20:35] <SpriteSODA> !xbox
[20:35] <krisku> register Clint619<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[20:35] <hwilde> !xfce | melnik
[20:35] <hwilde> melnik, what is dwm anyways
[20:35] <bdelin88> Jack_Sparrow: what is the sources list located under again? /etc/?
[20:35] <oskar-> humphrey:  rm
[20:35] <humphrey> rm, ta :-)
[20:35] <Jack_Sparrow> bdelin88 /etc/apt
[20:35] <melnik> dynamic window manager
[20:35] <bdelin88> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks
[20:35] <melnik> 1300 line of C-code
[20:35] <melnik> :)
[20:36] <hwilde> melnik, all you ahve to do is "sudo apt-get install dwm"
[20:36] <melnik> yes
[20:36] <Zzeiss> le1: you know the difference between telephone line and ethernet line, right?  Telephone line is four pins, ethernet is eight (well, not pins.  Little sliders.  The plug looks very similar between the two, but phone is narrower and ethernet is wider.)
[20:36] <hwilde> melnik, then log out, and change the session option.
[20:36] <melnik> already
[20:36] <hwilde> !enter | melnik
[20:36] <melnik> but ubuntu do not know how to run it
[20:36] <Jack_Sparrow> melnik What is your native language?
[20:36] <melnik> it run it like junk , but it really need a script to run it
[20:36] <hwilde> melnik, if you install it with apt-get then just logout (ctrl+alt+backspace) and in the sessions option there will be an option.
[20:36] <boyscared> question: is there a way to use one of the pkg manager utils to check which packages have no dependencies (wanna do some cleanup)?
[20:36] <melnik> for status bar , and so
[20:37] <hwilde> boyscared, man apt-get
[20:37] <hwilde> boyscared, there are "clean" and "autoclean" options
[20:37] <hwilde> boyscared, and autoremove
[20:37] <barcode> hey everyone, i have a question

[20:38] <melnik> hwilde: if I put dwmrc script , in /usr/bin , ( mv /usr/bin/dwmrc /usr/bin/dwm )
[20:38] <Jack_Sparrow> bdelin88 Did you not understand when I said to pastebin it
[20:38] <barcode> where can i get a good paint program like paintshop pro? i dont like gimp
[20:38] <melnik> hwilde: it not work
[20:38] <melnik> :(
[20:38] <le1> the internet line the going to the router
[20:38] <hwilde> melnik, that is not the right way to start up dwm.  I told you the correct way.
[20:38] <Zzeiss> barcode: Have you tried Inkscape?
[20:38] <Jack_Sparrow> melnik What is your native language?
[20:38] <Jack_Sparrow> melnik May I have a brief PM with you
[20:38] <barcode> no, im new to linux so im not sure what progs to get
[20:38] <hwilde> lefix, your system is like half-upgraded
[20:38] <le1> and the usb in to my computer
[20:38] <hwilde> lefix, how did you do this
[20:39] <cccharles> barcode: inkscape is vector drawing, not painting
[20:39] <lefix> i really dunno
[20:39] <Jack_Sparrow> barcode gimp
[20:39] <Zzeiss> barcode: Ok.  Well, I like gimp, but Inkscape might work for you.
[20:39] <barcode> dot like gimp
[20:39] <cccharles> barcode: you could try Pixel. it's closed-source and commercial, but decent.
[20:39] <barcode> ok thanks
[20:40] <Zzeiss> barcode: get it by opening "Applications > Add-Remove " and then putting "drawing" into the search box.
[20:40] <le1> Zzeiss: what do i do ?!
[20:40] <Zzeiss> barcode: there are other drawing programs there too.
[20:40] <anakln> Zzeiss, lol, all of the image-editing/vector illustration programs so far on linux sucks. can't they just port adobe CS to linux and be done with it already.
[20:40] <hwilde> lefix, can you pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list
[20:40] <bdelin88> Jack_Sparrow: I sent you a pm with a paste.ubuntu.com link
[20:40] <jhamlin> jeeeez it's really impossible to get any help mounting samba shares.  I've spent hours trying to get this to work.  I takes absolutely no know-how to do it in Winblows... yet it's apparently some deep dark secret how to do it in linux :(
[20:40] <Zzeiss> anakln: I dunno.  between gimp, inkscape, and xfig, I do ok.  :)
[20:40] <antony> tbh it prob wont be 2 hard for them
[20:40] <lefix> hwilde i installed the ubuntu 8.10 i didn't had a ubuntu before, it was a new computer
[20:40] <boyscared> regarding finding pkgs with no deps: the apt-get options aren't exactly what i'm looking for. i was hoping to get a list of installed packages that no other package depends on. similar to fbsd's pkg_info -R pkgname
[20:40] <hwilde> jhamlin, there are extensive guides online.
[20:40] <antony> as it works on mac and mac code base is BSD
[20:40] <ali3nwar3_> ok guys
[20:40] <ali3nwar3_> i just mounted a drive
[20:41] <hwilde> lefix, reinstall it.... yours is borked
[20:41] <ali3nwar3_> then i restarted, and it was gone
[20:41] <lefix> i think so too
[20:41] <le1> :-$
[20:41] <ali3nwar3_> now i remounted it again
[20:41] <ali3nwar3_> how do i get it to stay
[20:41] <Zzeiss> le1: please check what connectors you have going where.  Let's start at the wall.  Is it 8-connector (RJ45, like Ethernet) or 4-connector (RJ11, like telephone_)?
[20:41] <hwilde> !enter | ali3nwar3_
[20:41] <hwilde> !mount | ali3nwar3_
[20:41] <Jack_Sparrow> bdelin88 got it.. you have several unofficial repos that could have hosed your system
[20:41] <Niobe> any ideas why skype is'nt working?
[20:41] <hwilde> ali3nwar3_, you just need to add it to fstab
[20:41] <hwilde> !fstab | ali3nwar3_
[20:41] <lefix> but thank you hwilde
[20:41] <ali3nwar3_> thanks hwilde
[20:42] <Zzeiss> barcode: is there any functionality in particular that you want?
[20:42] <bdelin88> Jack_Sparrow: wonderful
[20:42] <jderemer> i am having trouble getting a2ps to print on 2 sides.  it simply won't do it, even though firefox and openoffice will do it.
[20:42] <hwilde> lefix, it looks like your system aborted in the middle of an upgrade.
[20:42] <hwilde> lefix, pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:42] <nbeebo> !conky
[20:42] <barcode> i just like to edit images, but i dont like gimps IFace
[20:42] <le1> they are going right i am sure in this point
[20:42] <Jack_Sparrow> bdelin88 you obviously added some or ran scripts that did.
[20:42] <paulo> #ubuntu-es
[20:43] <hwilde> barcode, don't come here and complain about free software ok?  it's open source, which means you are welcome to help build a better interface.
[20:43] <Zzeiss> barcode: there's also TuxPaint.
[20:43] <antony> i think someone re-did gimp interface, cant rember the apps name tho
[20:43] <le1> but how to let it work from the ubuntu
[20:43] <jhamlin> hwilde: please point me to one that works.  I've tried at least 20 examples so far and none of them allow me to read/edit files as a non-root user
[20:43] <Zzeiss> barcode: serously, go into add./remove software and type "drawing" in the searchbox.
[20:43] <bdelin88> Jack_Sparrow: one second i think i have manually fixed xorg, let me restart X
[20:43] <barcode> hwilde , i wasnt complaining, i was just looking for a better program
[20:43] <hwilde> jhamlin, well have you started with a simple example of going from one linux box to another linux box ?
[20:43] <lefix> hwilde: /boot/grub/menulist: http://pastie.org/329131
[20:43] <Zzeiss> le1: Oh, you're not on ubuntu now?  Sorry.
[20:43] <cccharles> jhamlin: are you mounting as root or as yourself?
[20:43] <hwilde> !smb > jhamlin
[20:44] <antony> the guys free to say if he does not like a interface.
[20:44] <jhamlin> cccharles: either way
[20:44] <barcode> did that Zz, thnx
[20:44] <le1> i am in ubuntu :S
[20:44] <antony> maybe he does not have a skills to help.
[20:44] <jderemer> barcode: try picasa from google if you are ok with a close source program
[20:44] <le1> 8.04 ubuntu
[20:44] <cccharles> jhamlin: can you browse the files with smbclient on the command line as a regular user?
[20:44] <Zzeiss> le1: OK.  Let's trace wires.... is the wire _from the wall_ 8-pin (RJ45 ethernet) or 4-pin (RJ11 POTS)
[20:45] <jhamlin> cccharles: from konqueror I can browse no problem
[20:45] <lefix> hwilde but i dont understand, why my system schoudln't be upgradet correctly, becaus i didn't upgrade it. Ubuntu 8.10 was the first system on this pc
[20:45] <bdelin88> Jack_Sparrow: pff that didn't work
[20:45] <hwilde> lefix, ok so your problem is you are running 2.6.27-7 kernel.  and half of your upgrades reference linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-9-generic but the other half reference linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-9-generic
[20:45] <Zzeiss> barcode: Oh- and there's also the drawing program in OpenOffice, which is quite good as well.
[20:45] <le1> its not like telephone its a cable :S
[20:45] <hwilde> lefix, can you try "sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic"
[20:45] <bdelin88> Jack_Sparrow: I got sloppy with my xorg backups and now I don't know which one is the correct backup file
[20:45] <cccharles> jhamlin: have you used the command line tools before? it's normally easiest if you can get it to work via smbclient and then use the same arguments when mounting.
[20:45] <Jack_Sparrow> bdelin88 rem out 54 55 56 and 57 the sudo apt-get update
[20:46] <jhamlin> hwilde: I'm mostly browsing samba that's served from a mac... I don't know if that effects the applicability of the info you pm'd me...
[20:46] <Zzeiss> le1: OK... is it round?  Like cable-TV cable?
[20:46] <lefix> hwilde pastebin?
[20:46] <sproingie> i'm trying to run the livecd for 8.10 on a thinkpad T61 and getting nowhere
[20:46] <hwilde> jhamlin, ok so where do you have the problem, from where to where
[20:46] <sproingie> any info on that?
[20:46] <hwilde> lefix, can you try "sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic"
[20:46] <Zzeiss> le1: and the connector on the end screws onto the back of the modem?
[20:46] <lefix> hwilde i did it, result pastebin?
[20:46] <bdelin88> Jack_Sparrow: one sec
[20:46] <adityag> i want to update svn to its newest version. i get this error "m@aditya:~$ sudo apt-get update svn  E: The update command takes no arguments"
[20:46] <le1> yes
[20:47] <hwilde> lefix, yes yes
[20:47] <sproingie> i select the language, i select the first menu option, and then the cd never spins back up again
[20:47] <odinsbane> how do I see what kernal I am using?
[20:47] <hwilde> adityag, just sudo apt-get update
[20:47] <hwilde> odinsbane, uname -a
[20:47] <jhamlin> I had it working fine with smbfs.  I simply changed smbfs to cifs in my fstab (as described above)
[20:47] <Zzeiss> le1: OK, you have a cable broadband then.
[20:47] <Jack_Sparrow> adityag the repo will not contain the very latest of most programs
[20:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !info svn
[20:47] <jderemer> i am having trouble getting a2ps to print on 2 sides.  it simply won't do it, even though firefox and openoffice will do it.
[20:47] <cccharles> jhamlin: I'm guessing it has something to do with the uid= and gid= bits
[20:47] <Michael_RN> HI everyone. I need help. plugged in a Gigaware 25-234 webcam and ubuntu does not recognize it. spent a little time here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=651182, but no luck. Any insight?
[20:48] <Zzeiss> le1: OK... now look at the jacks on the D-link.  What are the 8-pin jacks labeled?
[20:48] <Jack_Sparrow> !webcam > Michael_RN
[20:48] <hwilde> Michael_RN, disconnect, reconnect,  pastebin dmesg
[20:48] <lefix> hwilde: http://pastie.org/329135
[20:48] <jhamlin> it's really frustrating.  This should be very very simple to do
[20:48] <Zzeiss> (they are probably labeled LAN1 through LANN and then one labeled WAN)
[20:48] <odinsbane> anybody use a conexant modem, it seems the linuxant drivers are very kernel specific.
[20:48] <adityag> Jack_Sparrow:  then i do i get the programs updated ?
[20:48] <bdelin88> Jack_Sparrow: What's wrong with keeping vbox in the repo?  I like having that stuff there so it auto-updates itself
[20:48] <le1> the power on and status and wan and wlan
[20:48] <odinsbane> Does that mean I have to reinstall everytime I upgrade my kernel?
[20:49] <hwilde> lefix, pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list
[20:49] <SlimeyPete> I don't like vbox to update itself because I use it on a workstation
[20:49] <Jack_Sparrow> adityag the programs in the repo are the latset "TESTED" versions.. see also backports etc
[20:49] <le1> all of them the light is green
[20:49] <eitreach> Is openal broken in Intrepid, or am I just doing something wrong?
[20:49] <Zzeiss> le1: not the lights.  the places where you can plug cables in.
[20:49] <Van^> Hi all.
[20:49] <Bob_Miller> isit wurkin?
[20:49] <SlimeyPete> once it's working, I don't want it to change
[20:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Zzeiss I applaud your patience
[20:49] <le1> in the right place
[20:49] <Bob_Miller> So - sorry for spamming and bye - it wurks :D
[20:49] <Jack_Sparrow> SlimeyPete then dont update
[20:49] <cccharles> jhamlin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79479/ <-- this is how I'm doing it myself, and it works fine if I mount as my own user.
[20:49] <le1> and one of them in my compouter
[20:49] <sproingie> anyone gotten 8.10 to install on a thinkpad T61, have to do anything special?  the CD won't even spin up after i select any of the options from the menu
[20:49] <SlimeyPete> Jack_Sparrow: I want other things to update though ;)
[20:50] <lefix> hwilde sources.list or sources.list.save?
[20:50] <hwilde> lefix, sources.list
[20:50] <Michael_RN> thanks, ubottu, I'll take a look there.
[20:50] <Jack_Sparrow> SlimeyPete If you update you will need to reinstall your modem driver
[20:50] <Van^> I was hoping someone could suggest a small x window, graphical game that I could port to an arm processor.  I don't have a lot of supporting libraries, so something that has a very small list of dependencies would be awesome.
[20:50] <lefix> hwilde: sources.list -> http://pastie.org/329138
[20:50] <SlimeyPete> Jack_Sparrow: modem driver? Do you have me confused with someone else? :)
[20:50] <Van^> I'm simply interested in testing the graphics capability of our system.
[20:51]  * SlimeyPete doesn't actually own a modem any more unless you count the one in his laptop which he doesn't use
[20:51] <le1> why its not working
[20:51] <le1> :S
[20:51] <hwilde> lefix, comment out the backports line 38
[20:51] <le1> if i release the usb i can't connect to internet
[20:51] <Zzeiss> le1: do you know what I mean by a "jack"?  It's where you plug cables in.
[20:52] <le1> yea
[20:52] <detrate> When I upgraded 8.04 to 8.10 I made the mistake of saying "no" to replacing my menu.lst file for grub.  Now I fail to boot properly into x and the only solution I have is to >> sudo rmmod nvidia && sudo modprobe nvidia && startx -- just to get into a "working" environment.  Which package do I need to reinstall to get that menu.lst generated again?
[20:52] <le1> i full them into the jack agian
[20:52] <hwilde> lefix, then go to /var/cache/apt/archives and run "ls" and pastebin the output plz
[20:52] <le1> pull*
[20:52] <Jack_Sparrow> adityag  If you update you will need to reinstall your modem driver
[20:52] <Jack_Sparrow> sorry SlimeyPete
[20:52] <Zzeiss> le1: now please just tell me what each of the jacks are labeled.  (some Dlink jacks have built-in LEDs but that isn't important.  What's important is the labels on the jacks)
[20:52] <lefix> hwilde: do you mean this: deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverse
