[07:32] <fraudster> AlexC_, no question. A survery
[07:32] <ardchoille> ompaul: Yeah, I'll do that too.
[07:32] <distant_voice> if I ever install something without using Add/Remove... in Applications and I want to get rid of it, can I just delete the folder? I installed the Doom 3 binaries but then realised that they don't work with the demo.
[07:32] <ALMimoni> how to change splash screen?

[07:33] <sanzky> hi, does anyone know howto fix the :0.Xauth file, even root cant access it, so I cant start X
[07:33] <will_> IndyGunFreak,  do you want my AIM?
[07:33] <ompaul> fraudster for the sake of 1000 others you are asked not to do that
[07:33] <AlexC_> fraudster: this is a support channel, not a public poll. If you wanna do polls, do it on the forums in the Cafe or in #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:33] <IndyGunFreak> will_: i just IM'd you
[07:33] <will_> I got it.
[07:33] <ardchoille> ALMimoni: It's in the gconf-editor. Open gconf-editor and go to apps/gnome-session/options and look at the splash_image key

[07:34] <ompaul> AlexC_, please count to 10 before you do that
[07:34] <AlexC_> ompaul: sorry :P
[07:34] <distant_voice> if I ever install something without using Add/Remove... in Applications and I want to get rid of it, can I just delete the folder? I installed the Doom 3 binaries but then realised that they don't work with the demo.
[07:34] <tonyyarusso> AlexC_: (ompaul) unless it's hundreds of lines of botspam :P
[07:34] <kane77> Zero9983, for this you can make use of firestarter
[07:34] <yccheok> hi, may i noe how i can capture a screen shoot, for a selected window "only"
[07:34] <AlexC_> tonyyarusso: haha yeah
[07:35] <CrakeHunter> will ubuntu 7 be more stable than its predecessors?
[07:35] <ompaul> AlexC_, as tonyyarusso says
[07:35] <kane77> Zero9983, or alternatively you can configure manually the iptables
[07:35] <AlexC_> yccheok: if you press alt+print screen I think it does the selected window only
[07:35] <Zero9983> kane77: where can i get the firestarter ? is built in on ubuntu ?
[07:36] <ALMimoni> ardchoille: thx
[07:36] <Waswat> hmm
[07:36] <ardchoille> ALMimoni: You're welcome :)
[07:36] <AlexC_> Zero9983: no, Firestarter is not by default in Ubuntu.
[07:36] <distant_voice> Zero9983: use Add/remove from the applications menu
[07:36] <Waswat> does anyone know how i or even IF can install xgl or beryl on my ubuntu installation?
[07:36] <Zero9983> ok thanks all
[07:36] <kane77> you can install it form synaptic/apt-get/aptitude/...
[07:36] <soundray> distant_voice: essentially, to uninstall you undo everything that you did to install. Sounds obvious, but it's not always easy to determine what a non-apt installer has done to your system.
[07:36] <kane77> Zero9983, yes its in synaptic
[07:37] <AlexC_> Waswat: How can we know if it will work if you don't give us any of you're PC specs?
[07:37] <distant_voice> waswat : http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy, read the guide in here
[07:37] <cables> Can anyone tell me the best way to sync a USB palm OS device to a Linux PIM, like Evolution?
[07:37] <Gizmo_the_Great> Hi. I have Ubuntu Edgy setup as a Virtual Machine using VMWare running on Dapper Drake. I have enabled the USB Controller in the preferences of the Edgy VM but when I plug a USB drive in only my host (Daopper Drake) detects it and my Virtual machine (Edgy) does not. Any thoughts?
[07:37] <Zero9983> kane77:  i cant get it now , i downloading software now .
[07:37] <cables> !beryl | Waswat
[07:37] <ubotu> Waswat: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[07:37] <Waswat> thanks guys :D
[07:37] <kane77> Zero9983, you shouldnt have troubles setting it up... it's a gui application...
[07:37] <Waswat> i tried to install it before
[07:38] <Waswat> but i totally did something wrong
[07:38] <soundray> cables: with gnome-pilot
[07:38] <Waswat> therefore i had to re-install ubuntu :/
[07:38] <Zero9983> kane77:  thanks alot . i will try it later because i download other software using apt-get
[07:38] <Waswat> distant_voice, i've got dapper
[07:38] <kane77> Zero9983, okay
[07:38] <cables> soundray, will that work with USB devices? I think I tried it and had issues.
[07:38] <distant_voice> soundray: it was a .run file. I don't know what it did of course.... Let me rephrase my question: is it harmful to my system if I just delete the folders it created?
[07:38] <kane77> Zero9983, youre welcome
[07:38] <orangefly> why are my window toolbars gone when i use beryl....???....
[07:39] <cables> orangefly, it's beta... you can get beryl + ubuntu help in #ubunt-effects
[07:39] <tuskernini> orangefly, you have to run emerald
[07:39] <AlexC_> orangefly: you mean the Window borders? It happens sometimes, go into #ubuntu-effects
[07:39] <Zero9983>  ] \
[07:39] <orangefly> yeah....thanks....
[07:39] <AlexC_> cables: I thought Beryl was alpha?
[07:40] <cables> AlexC_, even worse then :)
[07:40] <AlexC_> cables: hehe yeah
[07:40] <ALMimoni> ardchoille:  where can i find this file splash/ubuntu-splash.png
[07:40] <ardchoille> ompaul: O never realised just how nice the bot was until now. Kudos to whomever wrote it.
[07:40] <soundray> cables: people have various kinds of issues. Mine was that the palm registered two USB devices, only one of them would work and it wasn't predictable whether it was /dev/ttyUSB0, -1, 2 or 3.
[07:40] <ardchoille> ALMimoni: /usr/share/pixmaps/splash
[07:40] <AlexC_> ardchoille: feed him if you want - !botsnack
[07:40] <kane77> AlexC_, everything's betta these days... :D it seems to be poppular, mainly on webpages...
[07:40] <ALMimoni> ardchoille: thx
[07:41] <cables> soundray, ok... I usually don't even sync it anyway, so that's fine.
[07:41] <ardchoille> AlexC_: Nah, the last thing we need is a fat bot, lol
[07:41] <cables> kane77, alpha.
[07:41] <AlexC_> kane77: yeah that's true ... I think they think it sounds cool to just stick "Beta" on the end .. or so if it breaks they can go "well, it is beta"
[07:41] <AlexC_> ardchoille: haha
[07:41] <soundray> cables: the solution was to set up conduits for all four devices. I still had difficulties after that, which were resolved by syncing through wireless
[07:41] <Elrik> Btw, I just realised something, before I was using another wireless card, but since it didn't have any support on linux ubuntu I switched networks card with the other computer, but the previous network cards drivers had been wrapped with ndiswrapper and i had used the modprobe command, how can I erase previous modprobe data?
[07:41] <wheels3572> Can anyone help me with a desktop issue.  I cant see the files I have saved on my desktop
[07:42] <cables> soundray, how do I use gnome-pilot? It's installed, but I have no idea how to use it. Also, does it support syncing over wi-fi?
[07:42] <distant_voice> soundray: it was a .run file. I don't know what it did of course.... Let me rephrase my question: is it harmful to my system if I just delete the folders it created? sry to bother you, just say yes or no if you don't have time.
[07:42] <AlexC_> wheels3572: do you put a "." before the file name?
[07:42] <wheels3572> AlexC_, No
[07:42] <cables> wheels3572, sure. do alt-f2 and do gconf-editor
[07:42] <soundray> distant_voice: it probably won't do any harm, but you will of course have remnants on the system
[07:42] <sycho> I am having a problem. when ubuntu trys to play wma and some video formats xorg crashes and puts me at the log-in screen. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[07:42] <kane77> AlexC_,  right. I'm wondering when gmail will become gamma :D
[07:42] <cables> wheels3572, tell me when that comes up
[07:42] <distant_voice> soundray: thx
[07:43] <Elrik> Tell ME baby, cmon
[07:43] <Elrik> oops.
[07:43] <AlexC_> Hum I really should get back to coding ... so much time is lost in this channel!!
[07:43] <knight> wheels3572, which desktop env. are you using?
[07:43] <Waswat> ^^
[07:43] <Gizmo_the_Great> Hi. I have Ubuntu Edgy setup as a Virtual Machine using VMWare running on Dapper Drake. I have enabled the USB Controller in the preferences of the Edgy VM but when I plug a USB drive in only my host (Daopper Drake) detects it and my Virtual machine (Edgy) does not. I have checked in the 'Removable Devices' preferences of my VM and everything is set to auto-mount etc. ny thoughts?
[07:43] <wheels3572> cables, nothing coming up on ALT-F2
[07:43] <IndyGunFreak> does anyone know what the game frozen bubble is?
[07:43] <Elrik> I want to start working with coding aswell, but I need to finish Ubuntu first I guess
[07:43] <cables> wheels3572, ok. Open a terminal, then.
[07:43] <wheels3572> knight, Xfce
[07:43] <AlexC_> wheels3572: sounds like Nautlis isn't running
[07:43] <shedi> it is the best game
[07:43] <IndyGunFreak> shedi: is it?
[07:43] <cables> wheels3572, ok, that only works in gnome.
[07:43] <kane77> AlexC_, heh that seems so familiar :D
[07:43] <shedi> IndyGunFreak, Oh yeah
[07:44] <shedi> :)
[07:44] <cables> wheels3572, I don't know how to do it in XFCE, sorry.
[07:44] <AlexC_> kane77: its like some time worm-hole ...
[07:44] <IndyGunFreak> lol, the grin scares me.. well its installing..
[07:44] <wheels3572> cables, np
[07:44] <shedi> heh
[07:44] <sergi1> hello, anyone know how to make xmms to read russian TAGS)
[07:44] <kane77> AlexC_, tell me about it! ;)
[07:44] <zmaster> hey all
[07:44] <AlexC_> hi,
[07:44] <AlexC_> Yeah, I really must go lol - bye all!
[07:44] <distant_voice> how can I run ported games like lxdoom or abuse  in fullscreen?
[07:44] <zmaster> how can i convert videos to psp format 480x272
[07:44] <kane77> bye
[07:44] <zmaster> ive tried ffmpeg but it works for resolutions other then 480x272
[07:45] <soundray> cables: yes, you can sync via wifi. Run the demon (gpilotd I think) on the command line while you're debugging. There is also a panel applet
[07:45] <Elrik> I just started learning C, Visual Basic, and a bit of Python,,
[07:45] <distant_voice> zmaster: doom9.org is an excellent source for everything video
[07:45] <cables> soundray, that's cool. Thanks
[07:45] <soundray> cables: it takes some patience and playing to find out how it works
[07:45] <cables> soundray, thanks
[07:46] <distant_voice> zmaster: this is a complicated matter and can't be easily done, prepare for some problems and a lot of reading tutorials
[07:46] <soundray> cables: note I got it to work in dapper -- the edgy version invariably crashed on HotSync.
[07:46] <cables> soundray, sounds painful. I'll play with it, though.
[07:46] <zmaster> distant_voice: thanks will try, and yea i know its a pain, already with ffmpeg i can convert and watch them at lower resolutions like 320x... but 480x272 just dont work
[07:46] <Meshezabeel> when I try to run a program httrack, it gives me a message "bash: /usr/bin/httrack: No such file or directory", however httrack is in /usr/local/bin/httrack. /usr/local/bin is in my $PATH, so why is it trying to get it from /usr/bin/httrack?
[07:47] <wheels3572> What is Nautilus and how do i know if it's running?
[07:47] <distant_voice> zmaster: if you already have some experience you should definetely check out doom9.org
[07:47] <Meshezabeel> wheels3572 Nautilus is like Windows Explorer for linux
[07:47] <wheels3572> Meshezabeel, ok.  How do I know if that is running?
[07:48] <zmaster> distant_voice: yea got some experience, as i said i can convert it all besides on -s 480x272 , checking out doom9 atm
[07:48] <sinister99> I have been trying to install Edgy x64 with the alternate install on a RAID-0 array.  no windows or anything, just linux.  I partitioned and made it into raid, and put /boot on the same drive and a different drive, and I get various grub errors and can't mount or boot
[07:48] <distant_voice> How can I edit my menus. If I rightclick -> edit menus nothing happens. is that a known issue or am I doing something wrong?
[07:48] <ALMimoni> how to change user picture?
[07:48] <Meshezabeel> wheels3572:  ps aux | nautilus
[07:49] <Meshezabeel> oops
[07:49] <soundray> cables: it's not entirely mature -- I think the hardware is largely undocumented and gpilot has been developed on the basis of reverse-engineering the Windows software.
[07:49] <Meshezabeel> ps aux | grep nautilus
[07:49] <distant_voice> ALMimoni:  System -> Preferences -> about me
[07:50] <betatux> distant_voice, try System->Preferences->Menu Layout , to edit your menu
[07:50] <wheels3572> Meshezabeel, wheels    5961  0.0  0.0   2800   752 pts/0    R+   13:50   0:00 grep nautilus
[07:50] <sepheebear> ALMimoni: rename a jpg/png file to ~/.face
[07:50] <knight> wheels3572, i think xfce 4.4 new version has got desktop icons
[07:50] <Meshezabeel> wheels3572 if that is the only one then it is not running
[07:50] <ALMimoni> distant_voice, sepheebear : thanks
[07:50] <ugarit> has the linux community released a patch for daylight savings time change for the Easter US timezone?
[07:50] <kaluna> sinister99: why select raid0? if 1 drive dies, you lost everything.
[07:50] <wheels3572> knight, Ok cuz when I save files to my desktop nothing shows up lol
[07:50] <sharp15> _eMax_: what menu settings were you referring to?
[07:51] <Meshezabeel> wheels3572 just type nautilus and see if it opens
[07:51] <wheels3572> That's all I see Meshezabeel when I do that command you gave
[07:51] <wheels3572> ok
[07:51] <distant_voice> betatux: same effect, I have a little something in my task bar but nothing comes up
[07:51] <sepheebear> ugarit: yes this has been fixed AFAIK
[07:51] <wheels3572> Meshezabeel, bash: nautilus: command not found
[07:52] <knight> wheels3572, just go to /Desktop in terminal
[07:52] <knight> wheels3572, and see fi ur files are there
[07:52] <k_keller> I try to install ubuntu 6.10 DVD on Toshiba with ati radeon x700, however I get black screen during installation. I tried using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf but nothing works. In the case of the last one, i got the following error: bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off - can someone please help me
[07:52] <ugarit> sepheebear: how do I confirm that I have the patch?
[07:52] <sinister99> kaluna: i have 2 small drives for just my os, all my important files are on other drives
[07:52] <sepheebear> ugarit: "zdump -v US/Pacific | grep 2007"
[07:52] <oij> Hi! Can someone please help me with this:
[07:52] <oij> When I turned on my computer I got only a text login.. I logged in and typed startx and gnomestarted.. How can I make it do as before e.g start x automaticly?
[07:53] <knight> wheels3572, ~/Desktop
[07:53] <sepheebear> ugarit: run that from a terminal and you should see the correct date
[07:53] <Plouj> hi
[07:53] <sepheebear> ugarit: "zdump -v US/Eastern | grep 2007"
[07:53] <ugarit> sepheebear: thank you :-)
[07:53] <soundray> oij: 'sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults'
[07:53] <Plouj> anyone know how many packages a net install Ubuntu isntalls? I see that it has already downloaded 400 packages. I'm wondering how many more are left.
[07:54] <oij> soundray: what does that do?
[07:54] <kaluna> sinister99: a small suggestion. Install most of the OS on 1 drive, and mount home on the other.
[07:54] <soundray> oij: man update-rc.d
[07:54] <wheels3572> knight, wheels@wheels-desktop:~/Desktop$
[07:54] <oij> soundray: " System startup links for /etc/init.d/gdm already exist."
[07:54] <wheels3572> is where they all reside
[07:55] <knight> wheels3572, do ls and see your files are there
[07:55] <wheels3572> knight, they are there when i do ls
[07:55] <wheels3572> but just not showing up on desktop lol.  and they are not hidden either.  Dont get it
[07:56] <sinister99> kaluna: I know that would be much easier, just wanted to get it working if i could, prolly be a little faster
[07:56] <knight> wheels3572, yah its there and i think xfce doesnt support desktop icons but xfce4.4 supports ckeck for that
[07:56] <freepenguin> hello
[07:56] <A[D] minS> hola
[07:57] <A[D] minS> when i try to install kernel source i get this output
[07:57] <A[D] minS> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[07:57] <A[D] minS> is only available from another source
[07:57] <A[D] minS> E: Package kernel-source-2.6 has no installation candidate
[07:57] <YannTech> hi all
[07:57] <A[D] minS> any one please can just tell me what i should do ?
[07:57] <A[D] minS> i changed my sources but the same

[07:58] <wheels3572> knight, ok ty.  Will check Xfce4.4
[07:58] <andel8> guys - how can i install apr-utils with ldap support?
[07:58] <Elrik> the Essid in that thing isn't the correct one, but for some reason i'm not allowed to change it?
[07:58] <kaluna> sinister99: raid is a little trickier with grub on the boot drive. raid on other drives a lot easier. I have done raid1 on boot, but it does slow down the system.
[07:58] <A[D] minS> soundray: its da same ?
[07:58] <YannTech> Elrik: a iwlist eth1 sc ?
[07:58] <A[D] minS> :D

[08:05] <SinesurfR> would anyone mind helping me out with figuring out how to compile a program?
[08:05] <soundray> Wanderer: feisty will make it obsolete, anyway
[08:05] <soundray> !compile | SinesurfR

[08:05] <soundray> SinesurfR: what are you compiling?
[08:05] <Wanderer> soundray: ok, taht I can deal with (feisty bit).  I wanted the mplayer/audio codecs mainly
[08:06] <SinesurfR> soundray: http://www.treshna.com/paymaster/requirements/
[08:06] <eobanb> hi everyone, i have a small question.  in gconf-editor, can i use the keybinding <Alt>Space to launch something in global keybindings for metacity? And secondly, I'm using emerald w/ beryl instead of metacity.  will it still work?
[08:06] <kaluna> anyone using vsftpd? need shelp with local user login.
[08:06] <soundray> Wanderer: your best bet is to set up the appropriate repositories by hand or use source-o-matic
[08:06] <smg> hey all

[08:06] <ubotu> Wanderer: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[08:07] <SinesurfR> esp since it says to specifically use Scons to compile it
[08:07] <Elrik> EUREKA I'M SO HAPPY!!! INTERNET WORKS XOOOO
[08:08] <Elrik> After a whole day of horrible, devil-ish, cruel war towards my Linux Ubuntu
[08:08] <Elrik> twice I wanted to give up
[08:08] <fredl> hey, anybody here ever tried linux-igd?
[08:08] <Elrik> NOW
[08:08] <soundray> SinesurfR: you can install scons from the repos
[08:08] <Elrik> to have a bath. Thanks alot all who helped!
[08:08] <fredl> does linux-igd make a Linux box behave as an upnp aware device?
[08:09] <marshall> does anybody know wth to do with gtkDC?
[08:09] <Wanderer> yeah, I use the source-o-matic

[08:10] <craigbass1976> I've got UbuntuCE on my son's computer, and I can't ssh into it.   Would squid be blocking?  I installed openssh-server, which I've done on another couple of regular ubuntu boxes, and while they allowed logins, this box doesn't
[08:11] <SinesurfR> but it seems as if I'm going to have to compile it in order to run.  There's no precompiled version
[08:11] <smg> craigbass1976: squid is only managing http
[08:11] <Slart> craigbass1976: I think ssh, as default, doesn't allow connections from the outside.. but it might not be so.. check the config file if it's only listening on the local loopback interface
[08:11] <soundray> SinesurfR: yes, but since it requires scons, and scons is in the ubuntu repositories, you can at least install that instead of compiling it yourself
[08:12] <marshall> does anybody know wth to do with gtkDC?
[08:12] <craigbass1976> Slart, Ahh, perhaps...
[08:12] <soundray> craigbass1976: make sure sshd is running : 'sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart'
[08:12] <Wanderer> soundray: how about the latest flash for amd64 without automatix?
[08:12] <smg> Slart: craigbass1976 ssh should be running on any external interface, on loopback it makes no sense imho
[08:13] <soundray> Wanderer: I got that by following Kilz's instructions for firefox32 in the forums
[08:13] <sergi1> hello
[08:13] <bob_help> Downloaded a new Dist and get a GRUB error 15 any body hear of that?
[08:13] <sergi1> how to set utf-8 localy...
[08:13] <craigbass1976> soundray, right.  got that.  And yes, the config file (which all I changed was no for root logins) is the stock one that comes with the server.
[08:13] <Slart> smg: it would make sense in a secure-by-default installation..
[08:14] <SinesurfR> cool, thanks :)
[08:14] <_16aR_> is this a place where we can ask help about configuring postfix ?
[08:14] <_16aR_> on ubuntu
[08:14] <smg> Slart: but what to do with ssh on lo0?
[08:14] <Slart> smg: the default installation of apache doesn't make sense either.. at least not the last one I did on debian... it doesn't even start until you remove a line in the config.. just to make people read the config
[08:14] <pantalaimon_> is it possible to copy a physical partition to a lvm's logical volume?
[08:14] <soundray> craigbass1976: did it start successfully? Have you done a "ps aux | grep sshd"? Does 'ssh localhost' work on the machine?

[08:14] <Slart> smg: nothing.. just because you should read the config before you even expose ssh to the outside world
[08:15] <rssn> Everyone: I was wondering if anyone could assist me in figuring out installation and partitioning of hard drive with Ubuntu, first time user. I believe some sort of an 'fdisk' application is supposed to be used to repartition the HDD, but since I'm coming from Win32, it's a whole new universe, pretty confused.
[08:15] <wheels3572> On this website here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=19869&package_id=187881&release_id=480300  Do i have to download each file individually to get xfce4.4 or can I just download the xfce4-4.4.0-installer.fun and get all the files it shows here?
[08:15] <craigbass1976> soundray, yes to both.
[08:15] <carebear> hi
[08:15] <Slart> rssn: run the live cd and see if you have gparted installed.. it's a lot like partition magic and similar
[08:15] <soundray> _16aR_: describe the problem here, and repeat every 30 minutes or so. Sooner or later someone will logon who knows your answer
[08:16] <craigbass1976> soundray, I'm checking another box's sshd_config to see any discrepencies.
[08:16] <smg> Slart: sounds misterious to me ;)
[08:16] <empiric> hi all
[08:16] <At0mic_PC> A zip file with a password?
[08:16] <soundray> craigbass1976: assume that sshd_config is fine if you can ssh locally
[08:16] <rssn> slart: I don't believe gparted is installed, but should put it on then.
[08:16] <empiric> am using embeded tagging in html pages which wont work on firefox
[08:16] <At0mic_PC> How would you get around a zip file with a password?
[08:16] <empiric> any idea
[08:16] <soundray> craigbass1976: can you ping both ways? Can you ssh from your son's to the other machine?
[08:17] <noelferreira> people need help configurin ddclient anyone?
[08:17] <craigbass1976> soundray, ok then, what do youthink is wrong?
[08:17] <craigbass1976> Yes, I'm doign it right now.
[08:17] <Slart> rssn: hmm.. run "sudo apt-get install gparted" in a console then.. should install it for you
[08:17] <smg> craigbass1976: try a telnet on port 22
[08:17] <soundray> craigbass1976: could be iptables settings. Have you played with firestarter?
[08:17] <rssn> slart: However, if I am booting off the ubuntu CD at the moment, it would not know where to install gparted, other than cache - should I make arrangements to install ubuntu 'at least somewhere' first?
[08:18] <Slart> rssn: you only need gparted to partition it once.. so if it installs into the live cd memory thing doesn't really matter
[08:18] <craigbass1976> soundray, I didn't even know I had iptables.  I don't see it in /etc/init.d
[08:18] <rssn> slart: gparted is already the newest version, confirmed. I can now probably use it.
[08:19] <soundray> craigbass1976: you might try "grep -r iptables /etc/* 2>/dev/null" for sanity
[08:19] <Slart> rssn: it should be in System, Administration, GNOME partition editor
[08:19] <soundray> craigbass1976: everybody has iptables
[08:19] <craigbass1976> Really?  I didn't think it came with Ubuntu unless you installed it yourself
[08:20] <soundray> craigbass1976: apt-cache show iptables | head -n 2
[08:20] <craigbass1976> soundray, where's the config file for iptables in ubuntu?  I'm used to RH boxes
[08:20] <rssn> slart: Thanks so much, I am now working towards partitioning the HDDs. Do you mind if I ask a few more questions before proceeding?
[08:20] <Slart> rssn: go ahead.. if I didn't like the questions I wouldn't hang out here =)
[08:20] <bob_help> Hello Everybody. I'm new to linux and just downloaded Ubuntu for a laptop and am getting an Error 15 after GRUB starts, can anyone help me
[08:21] <soundray> craigbass1976: the package installs commands and documentation only. To configure it, you would use a front end.
[08:21] <nowhere> Hi, during boot the computer states it failed basic networking. Also when it starts I have no connection. But when I go to Network Settings and deactivate then activate the wireless connection everything works in a few seconds. Any way to have this done automatically?
[08:21] <craigbass1976> soundray, firehol, is that what I start and stop?
[08:21] <ardchoille> Is there a way to put all open apps in tabs on the desktop?
[08:22] <soundray> craigbass1976: but if you haven't done any experiments involving routing/firewalling, this isn't likely to be the problem
[08:22] <ardchoille> Someone told me fluxbox does that, is that true?
[08:22] <IndyGunFreak> ardchoille: i think it does
[08:23] <Slart> ardchoille: you mean like the taskbar in windows?
[08:23] <rssn> Slart: Thanks then. I'd like to know what the most sensible partitioning scheme is, since you 'mount' devices and can organize them much better than under win32. I currently use 2 physical drives, 250GB + 300GB, total 550GB. One is completely unallocated, and the other has some sort of a 140GB FAT32 partition, that is all.
[08:23] <rssn> I heard that FAT32 is not necessarily the most sound filesystem for ubuntu users, who can choose something else instead, is this true?
[08:23] <craigbass1976> soundray, but I didn't allow 22 through any firewall configs, so that may be the issue exactly.
[08:23] <soundray> craigbass1976: ah, so you do have a firewall utility installed
[08:23] <soundray> craigbass1976: yes, that'll be the answer
[08:23] <ardchoille> Slart: Something like that, yeah.. but I don't use a panel.
[08:23] <Slart> rssn: there are many ways of doing this.. myself I just use one big partition for ubuntu, applications, home-directory and all...but I'm lazy
[08:23] <craigbass1976> soundray, I've only used Ubuntu as a "play" box, and have not dug into where everything is.  RedHat is different (you probably know) and sadly I have gotten used to that...
[08:24] <Slart> rssn: a more.. "professional" way would be to make one partition for home, one for var and one for system itself.. that way logs files won't fill up your system disk
[08:24] <amaan>  hey can anyone help me, i've been trying to get my sound to work for the past 4-5 hours and i've had no luck (mojo was helping me earlier)...?
[08:24] <rssn> Slart: Thanks, so it would make sense to just get a single 250GB partition for starters, and then do whatever else to it after. However, is fat32 acceptible or is there something 'nicer'?
[08:24] <soundray> craigbass1976: 'dpkg -L packagename' may come in handy (package listing)
[08:24] <craigbass1976> soundray, aha, stop firehol and ssh to my heart's content...
[08:24] <Taime1> how can i adjust video settings such as gamma, color and saturation and such?
[08:24] <craigbass1976> soundray, now to find the config, or woudl I be better off using firestarter?
[08:25] <Slart> rssn: I would start with that.. you can always move stuff over to other partitions later if you really want to (even if it takes some work)
[08:25] <craigbass1976> I usually edit a file directly, and people yell saying that I should use the iptables commands instead...
[08:25] <Slart> rssn: if you're a first time linux user, one big partition is easier..
[08:25] <Taime1> i have a laptop, so i cant even set my contrast
[08:25] <Slart> rssn: oh, and one partition for swap
[08:25] <soundray> craigbass1976: I don't know anything about firehol, but the way to find out how it ticks would be to 'dpkg -L firehol' and 'cd /usr/share/doc/firehol' to read the docs there
[08:26] <IndyGunFreak> man that gave me a headache..lol
[08:26] <rssn> Slart: I am, but whatever happened to ext3/2, and then linux swap, those are pre-requisites to running things smoothly, right?
[08:26] <bob_help> ?
[08:26] <Slart> rssn: ah.. about file systems.. ext3 is nice and works fine
[08:26] <nowhere> hmmm banisment on networking questions :) ?
[08:26] <bob_help> leave
[08:27] <Slart> rssn: don't use FAT in linux, unless you have to read the drive from windows or something like that
[08:27] <soundray> craigbass1976: iptables sets kernel parameters, so it's the wiser choice
[08:27] <cables> I'm helping my friend install Ubuntu, and he needs to burn the disk. Is there any good, free image burning software for windows that he can use? He doesn't have anything that can burn an image currently.
[08:27] <soundray> craigbass1976: tell the ops if you get yelled at here
[08:27] <Luke> my root filesystem just corrupted really bad. what's a better filesystem I can use to avoid corruption?
[08:27] <nowhere> cables: Nero trial?
[08:27] <rssn> Slart: If I have an FTP server that fetches files from the ext3 system, will Windows users still be able to access the files?
[08:27] <Taime1> there's no gui for changing gamma or color settings?
[08:27] <cables> nowhere, I was hoping I could do better than that... but thanks anywhay
[08:27] <Taime1> cables
[08:27] <soundray> nowhere: repeat your question every once in a while. Sooner or later someone will know the answer
[08:27] <Dr_willis> !ext3
[08:27] <ubotu> ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[08:27] <cables> Taime1, ?
[08:27] <zcat_> Luke: what fs are you using now?
[08:28] <Luke> ext3
[08:28] <Taime1> you need a little tool called... hang on
[08:28] <nowhere> I will, t hanks soundray
[08:28] <soundray> nowhere: ...and have time for you as well
[08:28] <Slart> rssn: yes.. same thing if you use samba for windows file sharing.. other computers on the network don't care what file system you use
[08:28] <Luke> zcat[1] : ext3
[08:28] <craigbass1976> soundray, no, it's in RH type rooms (Fedora, cent, rh) and doesn't bother me, but sometimes people won't answer a question if they don't agree with a general practice of yours.
[08:28] <Taime1> http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
[08:28] <Taime1> thats it
[08:28] <Dr_willis> rssn,  the fact the files are comming from a linux box and ftp server.. wont affect the data in the files.
[08:28] <Taime1> when you install that, nothing fancy happens, cables
[08:28] <rssn> Dr_willis: Thanks.
[08:28] <eighty_> errr... how do i enable port 8080 on ubuntu? :)
[08:28] <nowhere> sorry i'm just a little frustrated, I like ubuntu a lot, but getting my wireless network up and running seems to be so much trouble :)
[08:28] <rssn> Slart: Okay, possibly the last question, if I have a /dev/hdd1 partition in fat32, how can I mount that from terminal?
[08:28] <Taime1> you just right click the file you want to burn, and it gives you the option to burn an iso image
[08:29] <zcat[1] > Luke: find out what corrupted it; you might have a dodgy drive or something. It won't normally screw up by itself
[08:29] <cables> Taime1, thanks
[08:29] <eighty_> any port 8080 mastas in da house? :) is it an iptables thing?
[08:29] <Taime1> noproblem
[08:29] <Slart> rssn:  mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 might work
[08:29] <soundray> craigbass1976: your immediate problem is solved now, isn't it?
[08:29] <MybEvil_> How can I run .sh files?
[08:29] <Dr_willis> rssn,  if ya think about it... most all the fileservers out are NOT running on windows box's with fat32 or ntfs filesystems. ;)
[08:29] <quaal> what in ubuntu can i play http://yage.net:9000 with
[08:29] <quaal> a winamp feed
[08:29] <MybEvil_> It brings them up into text-editor
[08:29] <Slart> rssn: if you want it to be mounted at startup you edit the file /etc/fstab
[08:29] <Dr_willis> quaal,  xmms can do that.
[08:29] <rssn> Dr_willis: Very true.
[08:29] <Taime1> type the file name into terminal
[08:29] <quaal> Dr_willis, hmm
[08:29] <Dr_willis> quaal,  i think :) other players proberl can also.
[08:29] <Taime1> mybeveil
[08:29] <eighty_> any pointers on how to enable ports in ubuntu? in particular, 8080?
[08:29] <MybEvil_> ok
[08:29] <MybEvil_> thanks
[08:29] <Taime1> er...
[08:29] <rssn> Slart: What would I define within fstab, the exact same command?
[08:29] <Taime1> sorry bout the name
[08:30] <MybEvil_> np lol
[08:30] <cables> Taime1, almost as easy burning as in ubuntu :)
[08:30] <soundray> MybEvil_: you don't if you can avoid it
[08:30] <MybEvil_> Most people call me Myb :P
[08:30] <soundray> MybEvil_: what are you installing?
[08:30] <Taime1> it is if you know about that tool, cables
[08:30] <MybEvil_> soundray, it's for Java
[08:30] <hofmann> Hello
[08:30] <sepheebear> eighty_: are you using apache2?
[08:30] <quaal> Dr_willis, yea you're right. i thought i'd tried xmms though. thanks
[08:30] <MybEvil_> for compiling and running
[08:30] <Luke> zcat[1] : how do I find out if it was the drive?
[08:30] <craigbass1976> soundray, yes, now I just want to make it persistent.  I have a samba question, but now that I can ssh in I'm going to get on my box and come back into the chat from there.
[08:30] <Slart> rssn:  oops, change that to "mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/hdd1"
[08:30] <eighty_> MybEvil_: yep
[08:30] <cables> Taime1, and there's the problem :)
[08:30] <Dr_willis> quaal,  that a shoutcast stream? or somthing odd?>
[08:30] <hofmann> Is somebofy good in JAVA? Please private me.
[08:30] <quaal> Dr_willis, yea shoutcast
[08:30] <eighty_> sepheebear: yep
[08:30] <soundray> MybEvil_: you should install java from the repos
[08:30] <Taime1> yeah...i cant believe windows doesnt have that stock
[08:30] <rssn> Slart: It's okay, it says only root can do that, and I guess that booting off the Ubuntu Live CD does not qualify as being root, since I can wreak too much havoc as a newbie.
[08:30] <soundray> !java | MybEvil_
[08:30] <ubotu> MybEvil_: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[08:30] <Slart> rssn: take a look at the file.. it's one line per file system... it's not that hard.. or you could read "man fstab"
[08:30] <Dr_willis> quaal,  i go to shoutcast.com and use xmms all the time
[08:31] <soundray> !pm | hofmann
[08:31] <ubotu> hofmann: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first.
[08:31] <Slart> rssn: oh.. just put sudo in front of it.. "sudo mount..... "
[08:31] <eighty_> sepheebear: yeah, apache2
[08:31] <rssn> Slart: If I were to install Ubuntu right now though, should I first define the swap, and the main partitions in gparted, before clicking on that install icon?
[08:31] <zcat[1] > Luke: check /var/log/messages and see if it's getting timeouts or stuff. or use ultimate boot cd and run the diagnostics tools.
[08:31] <quaal> Dr_willis, cool. thanks man
[08:32] <Slart> rssn: you can do it in the install program too.. or in gparted if you want to.. it's really your choice, either is fine
[08:32] <Taime1> i wont ask again, i promise, but is there a gui for changing things like gamma, color, contrast etc on my laptop?
[08:32] <soundray> nowhere: to bring up an interface at boot, for example wlan0, you would normally just add 'auto wlan0' to /etc/network/interfaces
[08:32] <sepheebear> eighty_: sudo echo "Listen 8080" >> /etc/apache2/ports.conf
[08:32] <eighty_> sepheebear: wow... like magic? :) i'll try...
[08:33] <rssn> Slart: Thanks. Will try to just install it then, hopefully will be fine. Before I do that though, are there any parameters you would recommend for a 250GB physical drive (239367MB): i.e. what size the swap partition ought to be, and what of 'var'.
[08:33] <smg> Taime1: i just know to fiddle directly in xorg.conf
[08:33] <soundray> sepheebear: that won't work -- "echo something | sudo tee systemfile" or "sudo sh -c 'echo >systemfile' "
[08:33] <nowhere> thanks soundray, I will try that
[08:33] <__doc__> hi, anybody configured a wacom tablet and gimp? I want to put undo on a stylus key.
[08:33] <Slart> rssn: one old rule for swap says that you should have twice the amount of swap, compared to physical memory.. so 500MB of memory, use 1GB of swap etc
[08:34] <smg> Taime1: take a look at google: "xorg.conf gamma"
[08:34] <iulian_> what is a symlink and how can I create a symlink in Ubuntu 6.10
[08:34] <Taime1> thanks
[08:34] <Taime1> i will
[08:34] <rssn> Slart: So, 512MB memory, 1024MB Swap.
[08:34] <sepheebear> soundray: you're right thanks for the assist!
[08:34] <Slart> rssn: var depends on what you're going to do with the computer... logs, temp files and such goes into /var
[08:34] <Slart> rssn: yes.. that'll be good
[08:34] <rssn> Slart: I'd probably be limited to torrents, videos, music, quake3 (openGL app), and documents etc.
[08:35] <smg> iulian_: symlinks are like this: "ln -s file linktofile"
[08:35] <Slart> rssn: it's probably easier to install it all into one partition for now.. and then after a while you can see how much space your /var dir takes.. then if you feel you want to move it to another partition you can do that
[08:36] <padge> How is it that I don't have traceroute?
[08:36] <eighty_> sepheebear: i want port 8080 for tomcat
[08:36] <rssn> Slart: Very well. So for now I should make a 1024MB Swap and the rest would be ext3 space.
[08:36] <hofmann> Hello, is it possible to grep a foreign text widget with a own java program?
[08:36] <iulian_> smg: Is exactly like a win shortcut? I delete it using rm or is a special command?
[08:36] <eighty_> so do i still want apache listening to port 8080
[08:36] <eighty_> ?
[08:36] <eobanb> what happened to disks-admin in edgy!?
[08:37] <smg> iulian_: similar, yes. use "unlink" on the link
[08:37] <Slart> rssn: sounds good
[08:37] <tuskernini> eobanb, not in there anymore... project is not active enough
[08:37] <smg> iulian_: on some unix-systems a "rm link" deletes not only the link but also the file which was linked to
[08:37] <sepheebear> eighty_: i dont use tomcat but i have apache listening to different ports for different reasons
[08:37] <padge> is traceroute in some tools pack I might not have?  Where is it kept in this distro?
[08:37] <iulian_> smg: Thanks!
[08:38] <Meep> Any people having problems with xcb and java?
[08:38] <tuskernini> eobanb, you can install it if you want...
[08:38] <eighty_> sepheebear: ok, thanks... yeah, i just want my machine to open port 8080, that's all
[08:38] <unop> padge,  tracepath replaces traceroute on ubuntu
[08:38] <eighty_> thought it was a iptables thing?
[08:38] <m0rk> padge: all that stuff can be found in synaptic
[08:38] <iulian_> smg: So is not a good practice to rm link.
[08:38] <padge> unop: Thanks
[08:38] <m0rk> like etherape, wireshark, snort, etc
[08:38] <padge> m0rk: traceroute wasn't found with synaptic
[08:38] <m0rk> !!
[08:38] <Luke> zcat[1] : whats ultimate boot cd?
[08:38] <m0rk> xtraceroute should be
[08:39] <sepheebear> eighty_: well ports.conf will make apache2 listen to the port
[08:39] <m0rk> and subsequent dummy packages
[08:39] <unop> eighty_,  get apache to listen on 8080 then -- i think you add a new port entry in ports.conf
[08:39] <Meep> java: xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.
[08:39] <eighty_> sepheebear: but i wasnt tomcat to listen
[08:39] <smg> padge: search for "trace"
[08:39] <eighty_> unop: will that allow tomcat to listen too?
[08:39] <juan_> hy, can i make a question about a recntly buyed epson multifunction
[08:39] <juan_> ?
[08:39] <unop> eighty_,  doesnt tomcat run atop apache?
[08:39] <Vigo> !mount
[08:39] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[08:39] <unop> i dunno much about tomcat
[08:39] <padge> m0rk: smg: awesome, thangs guys
[08:39] <eighty_> unop: i think tomcat can be standalone
[08:40] <sepheebear> after that you'd need to edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/099tomcat-httpd.conf or somesuch file
[08:40] <m0rk> padge: yw
[08:40] <eighty_> hmmm...
[08:40] <smg> juan_: u can ask, maybe someone responds :)
[08:40] <sepheebear> then restart apache
[08:40] <Vigo> I will try the forums, Thank You
[08:40] <juan_> thanks! do you anione knows how to make scanner works?
[08:41] <sepheebear> i dont know what kinda httpd.conf tomcat installs
[08:41] <juan_> xsane recognizes it only if i start it as root
[08:41] <smg> juan_: k, so it is detected. good
[08:41] <rssn> Slart: Is there a way to terminate a program that doesn't seem to be responding ? I started installing NTP servers for time synchronization or somesuch, when the install screen just became dormant.
[08:42] <hak0> juan_: chmod 777 /dev/XXX
[08:42] <m0rk> rssn: from a terminal window
[08:42] <m0rk> type 'sudo top'
[08:42] <rssn> m0rk: Thanks.
[08:42] <m0rk> that will give you root privy
[08:42] <IndyGunFreak> shedi: do you know how much time i'm gonna waste on this game now?
[08:42] <m0rk> then hit 'shift M'
[08:42] <m0rk> sorts by mem usage
[08:42] <m0rk> kill the bastard process
[08:42] <eighty_> so in general, how do i enable a port on ubuntu?
[08:42] <m0rk> by typing 'k;
[08:43] <juan_> ok, so XXX must be usb or something like that?
[08:43] <m0rk> er 'k'
[08:43] <shedi> IndyGunFreak, depends on how bored you are
[08:43] <jpjacobs> eighty_, run a service on that port
[08:43] <smg> eighty_: just put something on the port
[08:43] <IndyGunFreak> well, i have a broken ankle.. so the answer is very
[08:43] <sepheebear> eighty_: in general, you just need to activate a server to listen on that particular port
[08:43] <eighty_> don't have to mess with iptables?
[08:43] <hak0> juan_: it's de device xsane sees when u are root
[08:43] <shedi> IndyGunFreak, it saved me and my sister during a horrible flight
[08:43] <hak0> juan_: check configuration for device
[08:43] <IndyGunFreak> shedi: i can imagine
[08:43] <shedi> :)
[08:44] <rssn> m0rk: What is the 'signal' to kill with?
[08:44] <IndyGunFreak> it reminds me of breakout
[08:44] <smg> rssn: try kill -9
[08:44] <m0rk> rssn: it should auto [15]
[08:44] <sepheebear> eighty_: just like to enable port 22 for ssh all you need to do is install sshd
[08:44] <smg> rssn: -9 kills alot ;)
[08:44] <IndyGunFreak> shedi: is there a game like breakout for Linux?
[08:44] <m0rk> if that does not work, do a ctrl-c to kill top
[08:44] <rssn> m0rk: I tried with 1, and it worked ^_^
[08:44] <cables> What are the chances that deleting a file on an NTFS volume in Linux will screw up the partition?
[08:44] <unop> eighty_,  well it seems apache tomcat has eclipsed sun's own -- http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/tomcat/ and it seems to be how everyone nowadays wants to run it .. if you run apache tomcat, then it should be accessible from any ports apache is listening on (subject to access control)
[08:44] <shedi> IndyGunFreak, I don't recall that game
[08:44] <m0rk> then at the command line do a 'kill -9 [process #]
[08:44] <unop> cables,  small
[08:45] <IndyGunFreak> you know, the little thing moved along the bottom, and a ball bounced around, and you bounced the ball up into bricks, to break all the bricks
[08:45] <cables> unop, how small? This is my friend's comp...
[08:45] <eighty_> unop: hmmm... so if i have apache listening to 8080, that should do it
[08:45] <shedi> IndyGunFreak, oh that one
[08:45] <shedi> IndyGunFreak, I haven't seen it on linux
[08:46] <IndyGunFreak> hmm
[08:46] <unop> cables,  i've been running ntfs-3g for a bit over a year now and the drive's used extensively and i've not had a problem (except for something's chkdsk complained about, but those are negligible issues and documented too)
[08:46] <betatux> cables , make a backup first if you want to be sure not to loose any data.
[08:46] <unop> eighty_,  yes
[08:46] <smg> IndyGunFreak: there are lots of games like this for linux, but i dont remember any names
[08:46] <woro2006> i deployed abc.war file in /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps
[08:47] <unop> !ntfs-3g > cables
[08:47] <IndyGunFreak> smg: yea,
[08:47] <woro2006> I can see it in localhost:8180/manager
[08:47] <woro2006> but it says it's not running
[08:47] <shedi> IndyGunFreak, and you can always try cedega to run windows games
[08:47] <woro2006> and when I type localhost:8180/abc
[08:47] <woro2006> it doesn't get mapped
[08:47] <rssn> Everyone: Upon installing Ubuntu, which option is most sensible, to erase entire disc, to use the largest continuous free space, or to manually edit the partition table? I kind of feel 1 and 2 are the same thing...
[08:47] <IndyGunFreak> shedi: na, its not that important to me
[08:47] <cables> Does ntfs-3g support journalling on ntfs?
[08:47] <rssn> Since I have an empty disk to begin with...
[08:47] <woro2006> it says the requested resource /abc not available
[08:48] <sgtmattbaker> how do I get  an xfs partition formatted for use
[08:48] <unop> cables,  i think thats a question answered in the ntfs-3g faqs
[08:48] <smg> rssn: manually you can delete existing partitions
[08:49] <rssn> smg: What if no partitions currently exist, should I still do manual to get swap etc?
[08:49] <Steve^> What's the difference between Debian and Ubuntu?
[08:49] <smg> rssn: no, i think ubuntu creates a swap for you
[08:50] <smg> rssn: and if it doesn't, quit and run setup again
[08:50] <IndyGunFreak> Steve^: not a whole lot, but ubuntu is probably more newbie friendly
[08:50] <rssn> smg: It does create the swap.
[08:50] <unop> Steve^,  ubuntu is derived off of debian .. originally it used the same packages that debian did with minor changes .. but now it seems to maintain it's own
[08:50] <smg> rssn: :)
[08:51] <rssn> smg: Does this sound reasonable:
[08:51] <rssn> The following partitions are going to be formatted:
[08:51] <rssn>  partition #1 of IDE2 master (hdc) as ext3
[08:51] <rssn>  partition #5 of IDE2 master (hdc) as swap
[08:51] <smg> rssn: its fine
[08:51] <rssn> smg: It just hasn't told me what size these are going to be, so I'm in the dark.
[08:51] <vox754> rssn, partition manually, come here #vocx
[08:51] <smg> rssn: hmm.. lets wait and see
[08:51] <Pelo> !restricted
[08:51] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[08:52] <sgtmattbaker> so nobody knows how to get an xfs partition formatted
[08:52] <Steve^> unop, does that mean I get different things? I assume everything I need is stil available to me? And does it install Gnome by default, or give a choice?
[08:52] <vox754> smg, you may want to join #vocx to help this guy and is partitions
[08:52] <smg> vox754: k
[08:54] <unop> Steve^,  well, some things are different, some arent -- everything you need is a subjective thing :) you'll have most desktop utilities (and plenty of software from repositories you can install later). ubuntu uses gnome, kubuntu uses KDE, xubuntu uses XFCE (there's fluxbuntu too (not officially ubuntu) that uses fluxbox)
[08:54] <mikere> Hmm - my apt-get dist-upgrade finally downloaded all the packages - and then borked part way through installing.  When restarting the upgrade process it said I needed to run another command (like apt-get install -a or something - can't recall exactly)  Here's hoping everything installs correctly, lol.  Looks like firefox and xchat have both upgraded succesfully.
 I can't identify the device for the scanner in /etc, do you know similar names for a scanner?
[08:55] <gpd> problems with edgy mirrors and bzip2 ?
[08:55] <idefix> what does apt stand for?
[08:56] <mikere> unop: you can also just install any desktop manager after you install whatever *ubuntu - I usually install fluxbox after installing ubuntu or kubuntu
[08:56] <Steve^> mikere, and that supplies no conflicts or other problems?
[08:56] <Steve^> I ask becuase installing gnome to my old kde-suse only lead to trouble
[08:56] <gpd> idefix: Advanced Packaging Tool
[08:56] <JamesP> Lo all
[08:56] <unop> mikere,  yes, i know .. why dont you direct that to Steve^ instead eh?
[08:57] <mikere> Steve^: of course not =)  *nix is all about choice
[08:57] <Steve^> But that requires the programs to respect my choice :P
[08:57] <Steve^> I'm planning to switch to KDE and may aswell reinstall as it's fresh anyway, I'm just wondering if I should try Debian
[08:58] <mikere> Steve^: exactly - and I've found most of em will do just that with no problem.  You can run gnome apps under KDE as long as the gnome libraries are available for them
[08:58] <Steve^> does Debian have the same 6 month package structure?
[08:58] <mikere> Steve^: not really - it has a 'it's ready when it's ready' system as far as I can tell
[08:58] <Benny-megabn> hey guys
[08:58] <Benny-megabn> !info
[08:58] <gpd> any mirrors working for people out there?
[08:58] <ubotu> info: Standalone GNU Info documentation browser. In component main, is standard. Version 4.8.dfsg.1-1ubuntu0.1 (edgy), package size 159 kB, installed size 328 kB
[08:58] <Steve^> ok, I'd prefer that
[08:59] <unop> Steve^,  ohh no, debian's one is more like every 2 years :)
[08:59] <Steve^> I dislike having to download outside of the package manager to have the new stuff
[08:59] <Steve^> umm, ok...
[08:59] <cables> Steve^, I just got back  here, but if you want to install KDE, just do "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop"
[08:59] <Qaldune> hi everybody
[08:59] <Qaldune> does anybody know what's wrong with repositories?
[08:59] <yomm>    the next app that steals focus and doesn'i give me the mouse pointer is gonn aget nuked :/  aaaargh
[08:59] <unop> Qaldune,  they're only accessible over the internet??
[09:00] <gpd> Qaldune: good - not just me then :)
[09:00] <mikere> Steve^: yah, it's really nice to just add/update packages you know have been fairly significantly tested and are just a click away
[09:00] <gpd> bzip2 errors with several mirrors for me
[09:00] <Steve^> mikere, but unop just said the opposite thing to you :/
[09:01] <Qaldune> [Waiting for headers]  error for me
[09:01] <unop> Qaldune,  try a different set of mirrors then :)
[09:01] <unop> Steve^,  what'd i say different? :>
[09:01] <mikere> Steve^: I can't see where he disagrees - if you mean about debian we both said about the same thing
[09:01] <klein_> does anyone know if i can use wine to install a dell all in one printer ?
[09:02] <Steve^> you said when it's ready and he said ~ 2 years
[09:02] <superbia> Hi, I keep getting a bad device error message when running graphics programs from console... it starts and all but don't like seing error messages hehe anyone know anything about it? nvidia graphics card
[09:02] <unop> klein_,  i dont see that working, wine is a subsystem to run win32 software . but the printer requires drivers to be loaded into/by the kernel
[09:02] <eighty_> arg... so apache2 is listening to 8080 but foo.com:8080 still times out. thoughts?
[09:03] <mikere> Steve^: that translates into about the same thing - they have no fixed dates and about every 2 years is a good ballpark figure for when it happens
[09:03] <klein_> unop: awwwwww i see
[09:03] <gpd> ok - forgetaboutit - i had multiple entries which caused problems for apt it seems
[09:03] <Steve^> mikere, that's when they update their entire repository to all the new packages?
[09:03] <mikere> eighty_: any firewalling of port 8080?
[09:03] <unop> eighty_,  how do you know apache is listening on 8080?
[09:04] <craigbass1976> Is there a way to make it so that a directory is drwxrwxrwx AND whenever anyone makes a file in there, it is owned by the owner and group that owns the directory?
[09:04] <eighty_> unop: i edited ports.conf and added Listen 8080, then restarted
[09:04] <klein_> unop:ubuntu showes my printer but i don't see any of the drivers
[09:04] <eighty_> mikere: how to check for firewalling on port 8080?
[09:04] <mikere> Steve^: there are updated packages when the individual maintainers have them IIRC - but major distro releases about every 2 years plus or minus
[09:04] <unop> Steve^,  no, they just add new packages to the repository .. it's upto the clients (APT) to use them or not
[09:05] <foobar55> i guess there's no way even for root to just echo a unix user password, since it's not stored plain?
[09:05] <unop> eighty_,  can you access apache via localhost:8080?
[09:05] <NetCruZa> I have a laptop with internal speakers. When i plug in some headphones the sound play in BOTH speakers and headphones. How can i stop this?
[09:05] <Qaldune> so does anyone know if repositories' admins are gonna fix whatsoever it is wrong soon?
[09:05] <eighty_> unop: i'm remote right now
[09:05] <mikere> eighty_: as root type 'iptables -L'
[09:05] <superbia> anyone familiar with this error http://pastebin.ca/370680 ?
[09:05] <Luke> Some of my root filesystem was corrupt and now the gdb login font shows up as boxes. Anyone know how I can fix this?
[09:05] <unop> klein_,  if your printer is detected, it's likely the drivers for the printer are loaded .. i dunno if thsoe drivers include the other functions like fax, scanner, etc
[09:06] <IndyGunFreak> shedi: try a search for "lbreakout2"... its in the repos
[09:06] <Steve^> mikere, if each one individual updates, that's fine.. as having 2 year old packages kinda defeats the point of a central repository
[09:06] <iGama> Trevinho, are u there?
[09:06] <unop> eighty_,  thats not what i asked :) can you access localhost:8080?
[09:06] <eighty_> mikere: http://rafb.net/p/zMwK1u72.html
[09:06] <mikere> eighty_: oh, but if you running web browser on server and still getting same problem - it's probably not firewalling that's the problem.  Also, did you restart apache after config change?
[09:06] <Trevinho> iGama: I am
[09:06] <shedi> IndyGunFreak, will do :)
[09:06] <eighty_> yes, restarted apache after config change
[09:06] <klein_> unop: thank you
[09:06] <eighty_> unop: sorry... :D... one sec
[09:07] <quintin> Anyone want to play some WarcraftII with me?
[09:07] <unop> Steve^,  does it? for most purposes (and the issue of stability) using 2 year old software is actually better
[09:07] <iGama> Trevinho, i wanted to ask u something, i saw u have the amsn svn and the TK/TLC cvs
[09:07] <mikere> Steve^: yah, that's how it works i believe - but you could check debian web site for more info.  I like ubuntu for it's up to date bleeding edge packages and upgrade cycle
[09:07] <eighty_> unop: i can access http://localhost:8080 on my laptop...
[09:07] <iGama> do you have a script to compile them and create the deb Trevinho ?
[09:07] <Trevinho> mh, no
[09:07] <Trevinho> I do it manually
[09:07] <mikere> eighty_: it's not firewalling - at least on the web server
[09:07] <unop> eighty_,  assuming that the laptop is the webserver, are you running a firewall on the laptop?
[09:08] <iGama> hmm ok
[09:08] <eighty_> laptop is not server
[09:08] <conreyt> are there instructions on the forum to "upgrade" to herd 3 from 6.10?
[09:08] <eighty_> :D
[09:08] <eighty_> server is at school, i'm at home...
[09:08] <betatux> !paste
[09:08] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[09:08] <Steve^> unop, I don't know if it does.. thats what I'm asking. For my purposes, I like new stuff,2 years ago half the programs I use didn't exists.. or at least not in the same form
[09:08] <unop> eighty_,  man oh man, which machine runs tomcat>?
[09:08] <Trevinho> I mean, there's a debian folder on svn, I've just edited it  a littke, then I just need to do a "debuild binary" to get my deb done
[09:08] <iGama> conreyt,  just : sudo "update-manager -c -d"
[09:08] <NetCruZa> I have a laptop with internal speakers. When i plug in some headphones the sound play in BOTH speakers and headphones. How can i stop this?
[09:08] <eighty_> sorry! server at school runs tomcat
[09:08] <conreyt> iGama: thank ya kindly
[09:08] <crimsun> NetCruZa: jack sense issue. Which driver, which Ubuntu version?
[09:09] <iGama> Trevinho, yep , but and the Tk/TlC ?
[09:09] <eighty_> unop: server at school runs tomcat... i added Listen 8080 to the server's port.conf file and restarted apache2
[09:09] <unop> eighty_,  so why are you doing localhost:8080 on the laptop? :-s  if its on your school network, its likely that their firewall isnt allowing inbound connections to 8080
[09:09] <eighty_> still can't access server.com:8080
[09:09] <Kopfgeldjaeger> hello. my gnome does not start anylonger (kde starts). i hear hose gnome drums, but no splash screen/errors or so... i changed my .fonts-config file (deleted it now) and played with some fonts...what shall i do?
[09:09] <NetCruZa> crimsun: Edgy 6.10, ALSA driver
[09:09] <Trevinho> mhmh... I didn't remember exacly how I got these, but in my repo there are the sources with my diffs I used
[09:09] <crimsun> NetCruZa: no, which _driver_?
[09:10] <eighty_> unop:  sorry about the laptop thing :D hmmm... maybe campus is filtering 8080...
[09:10] <Trevinho> I generated the debian folders using the 8.4 version as base maybe, but I don't remember :P
[09:10] <iGama> lol ok
[09:10] <iGama> thanks :)
[09:10] <Trevinho> anyway it's quite easy if you know a little packaging bases...
[09:10] <NetCruZa> crimsun: Not sure, how can i find out?
[09:10] <crimsun> NetCruZa: cat /proc/asound/modules
[09:10] <iGama> Trevinho, i just know a litle :p lol
[09:10] <iGama> learning :)
[09:10] <Trevinho> take the src files if you want
[09:11] <unop> Steve^,  well, debian's philosophy is stability over functionality  .. to debian, it's better to have old software running consistently than to have new software that requires a lot of baby-sitting :)
[09:11] <unop> eighty_,  do you have administrative access to the webserver at school?
[09:11] <eighty_> unop: yep
[09:11] <unop> eighty_,  something like ssh or vnc?
[09:11] <eighty_> ssh
[09:11] <eighty_> with full sudo access
[09:11] <Steve^> unop, in that case, I'll stick to kubuntu
[09:11] <mikere> eighty_: could be campus is filtering that's true.  I'm not sure how to ping or traceroute a specific port to see where it's getting dropped tho
[09:12] <sinister99> ive been trying to install edge amd64.  Ive tried intsalling on two different drives, automatic and manual partitioning, and I always get the error "error loading operating system".  I have the correct drive seleted in the bios.
[09:12] <unop> eighty_,  ok then .. ssh into and access localhost:8080 (if you only have CLI access, use lynx or w3m)
[09:12] <IndyGunFreak> shedi: you should try it, its a good one.
[09:12] <Kopfgeldjaeger> does nobody want to help me? :-//

[09:13] <Kopfgeldjaeger> ^^
[09:13] <IndyGunFreak> shedi: mine are still sharp, but its a little harder witht he mouse, instead of the old paddle controller
[09:13] <eighty_> unop: whoa... ok, that worked via localhost using w3m
[09:14] <black-town> salut !!!!!!!
[09:14] <ompaul> Kopfgeldjaeger, actually, what is it doing if it does not work?
[09:14] <rssn> Everyone: Do M-Audio soundcards work properly with Ubuntu, or is it eternal pain to set one up?

[09:14] <eighty_> it didn't resolve to tomcat though, just the default page for apache
[09:14] <unop> eighty_,  you sure you connected to port 8080? :>
[09:14] <Costel> black-town:esti roman?
[09:14] <eighty_> w3m http://localhost:8080
[09:15] <eighty_> unop: w3m http://localhost:8080
[09:15] <Kopfgeldjaeger> @ ompaul Well, i enter username/password in GDM, press enter, i see the usual blue background (changed theme), i hear the gnome drums and it "freezes", but i can go to the TTYs
[09:15] <ryanakca> what's the quickest way to get 12GB of home dir from point A to point B... all on my network... Hard drive from A wont fit into B and vice versa. SFTP? FISH? FTP? HTTP? should I waste an eternity running bzip2 -9 on it before transfering?
[09:15] <unop> eighty_,  so, apache is listening on 8080 then .. from this machine can you telnet to port 8080 on the server
[09:15] <darkstar> Guys I have art manager allowing only download of splash screen. Can anyone tell me how to simply install them?
[09:15] <NetCruZa> crimsun: That command have the following aoutput: 0 snd_hda_intel
[09:15] <Costel> my fstab is broken
[09:15] <Costel> :(
[09:16] <Costel> !fstab
[09:16] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[09:16] <Hammwell> ryanakca: I've used rsync to move lots of files over network. seems to work well. i think most I moved was a few hundred MB tho. shouldnt matter tho.
[09:16] <unop> ryanakca,  FTP would probably give you the best results .. and no, dont compress the contents before transferrring, that'll slow things down drastically
[09:16] <eighty_> unop: so telnet foo.edu:8080, right?
[09:16] <black-town> !fr
[09:16] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[09:17] <feitosa> dfghdght
[09:17] <crimsun> NetCruZa: so you need current hg alsa-driver; see the bottom of http://www.alsa-project.org/download.php
[09:17] <unop> eighty_,  errm, that'd depend on your implementation of telnet
[09:17] <ryanakca> unop: kk, thanks
[09:17] <eighty_> heh, k
[09:17] <ryanakca> Hammwell: how would I rsync it?
[09:17] <eighty_> checkin...
[09:17] <darkstar> Sorry I meant login manager artworkm not splash screens
[09:17] <_Jonathan_> are there any good strategy games for Linux, like age of empires or red alert?
[09:17] <NetCruZa> Okay, will look at it
[09:18] <unop> eighty_,  but yea .. telnet foo.edu at port 8080 .. thats the idea :)
[09:18] <abcdef> holy cow , ubuntu is huge
[09:18] <abcdef> where are you people come from
[09:18] <abcdef> lol
[09:18] <Mega_Slayer> where am I from?
[09:19] <mistone> ubuntu is 600 megs... oh that kind of huge lol
[09:19] <abcdef> yes
[09:19] <Hammwell> ryanakca, well ours has ssh set up so i do "rsync -av -e ssh [dirs to copy]  root@otherhost.com:/path/to/targetdir
[09:19] <craigbass1976> abcdef, Ubuntu is huge?  The OS or the chat room?
[09:19] <Thug-N-Me> does anyone know a good package that allows me to edit subtitles (times) ?
[09:19] <Mega_Slayer> haha yeah, I'm from Canada
[09:19] <yell0w> !offtopic
[09:19] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:19] <craigbass1976> Is there a way to make it so that a directory is drwxrwxrwx AND whenever anyone makes a file in there, it is owned by the owner and group that owns the directory and is set rwxrwxrwx?
[09:19] <Mega_Slayer> eeh, I not sure to both questions myself...
[09:20] <craigbass1976> I'm sharing it out via samba and am having trouble with windows folks being able to make changes to files.
[09:20] <eighty_> unop: no, can't telnet to foo.edu 8080
[09:20] <sepheebear> craigbass1976: i think you want some functionality that the sticky bit gives
[09:20] <Kopfgeldjaeger> what do you think i shall do now? :-/
[09:20] <ryanakca> Hammwell: hmm... I think running ssh would make it take much longer... so... rsync -av root@<IP_ADDRESS>:/home/ryan/.kde                    on this machine to copy that machine's .kde to here?
[09:20] <sepheebear> craigbass1976: man chmod
[09:20] <Mega_Slayer> craig have you tried to go in properties with superuser settings and give all of the premissions?\
[09:20] <ryanakca> s/root<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[09:20] <Mega_Slayer> yeah that too
[09:21] <Thug-N-Me> a package for fixing timing for subtitles
[09:21] <unop> craigbass1976,  i dont think that is possible out of the box (you could have something (a script perhaps) scan the contents of the directory and change permissions/ownership as and when needed)
[09:21] <oij> How do I make X start automaticly?
[09:21] <unop> eighty_,  it looks like your school has a firewall then .. if you really must access 8080 on that server now, you can setup a SSH tunnel
[09:21] <craigbass1976> unop and sepheebear, or oes it have something to do with the unix users' unmask?
[09:21] <finalbeta> Can I make the gnome multimedia keys control amarak is staid of rhythmbox?
[09:21] <Hammwell> ryanakca: probably ... i only really know the syntax I gave as thats what I learned with. not sure how the authentication would work without ssh.
[09:22] <NetCruZa> crimsun: Should i download ALSA-Driver Repository (alsa-driver)
[09:22] <eighty_> unop: time too google 'ssh tunnel' :D
[09:22] <thianpa> hi. How do i install a .rpm file in ubuntu 6.06 ?
[09:22] <ryanakca> hmm... kk, thanks
[09:22] <crimsun> NetCruZa: you need alsa-kernel and alsa-driver from current hg, yes.
[09:22] <cables> !alien | thianpa
[09:22] <ubotu> thianpa: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)

[09:22] <highneko> I have edgy installed and I plan in installing fiesty too for testing. Will the feisty setup screw with grub or will it play nice with edgy?
[09:22] <sepheebear> craigbass1976: are you trying to create a dropbox type of directory
[09:23] <unop> craigbass1976,  in anycase, this isnt the right way to setup samba .. yes check out the umask directive for samba as per samba.org
[09:23] <unop> craigbass1976,  samba's umask is a little different to unix's umask
[09:23] <robert_> I can't use my framebuffer device
[09:24] <craigbass1976> unop, What do you suggest then?  I just want a wide open share on a private network.
[09:24] <robert_> (I'm in console atm, and would like to watch video)
[09:25] <Monkier_> Is there any place in a user's home dire I can store .desktop files that gnome-menu will read other than those in /usr/share/applications?
[09:25] <craigbass1976> robert_, I saw an abbreviated star wars movie once done in text...
[09:25] <unop> craigbass1976,  errm, is this an open share (i.e. via guest) or do users need to authenticate themselves to logon to it?
[09:25] <robert_> craigbass1976- that's nice.
[09:25] <craigbass1976> unop, guest ok
[09:25] <Monkier_> dir* // This could get lovely-messy.
[09:25] <robert_> I still want my damned framebuffer to work
[09:25] <robert_> heh
[09:25] <crimsun> Monkier_: .local/share/applications
[09:25] <GMWeezel> Is there an application for converting AVI, MPEGs and other video formats to Quicktime for Ubuntu?
[09:25] <Monkier_> crimsun: Gracias.
[09:26] <crimsun> de nada
[09:26] <sepheebear> Monkier_: ~/.local/share/applications/
[09:26] <unop> craigbass1976,  if everyone logs on as guest, i cant see why you are having problems .. are you saying guest cant even change his own files?
[09:26] <NetCruZa> crimsun: Just ran the following command, don't know if it is right: "rsync -avz --delete rsync://alsa.alsa-project.org/hg your_directory"
[09:26] <oij> How do I make X start automaticly after a reboot?
[09:26] <the-erm> GMWeezel: ffmpeg should work, but I don't know everything about it, you can always google it.
[09:26] <mykhul> whats up with php?
[09:26] <crimsun> NetCruZa: sure
[09:26] <unop> oij,  ensure your display manager is run at startup ?? usually GDM or KDM
[09:27] <the-erm> mykhul: other than the default php.ini nothing that I can tell..
[09:27] <mykhul> php.net is blank and i get sent to #overflow when i try to join #php
[09:27] <GMWeezel> the-erm: thanks
[09:27] <abcdef> how do we set root password people?
[09:27] <foutrelis> abcdef: sudo passwd
[09:27] <sepheebear> GMWeezel: any special reason they need to be Quicktime format?
[09:27] <unop> foutrelis,  abcdef you dont need a root password -- use !sudo instead
[09:27] <GMWeezel> sepheebear: To play them on my Wii.
[09:27] <daisy> aaaaaaaaaaaaa
[09:28] <craigbass1976> unop, no, gues can, but if the user on the ubuntu box makes, or saves changes to, a file, then the others can't access it except for read only.
[09:28] <foutrelis> unop: I agree, but it's nice to know how to set a password :)
[09:28] <sepheebear> caught myself i was just gonna ask what's Wii?
[09:28] <GMWeezel> sepheebear: Eventually I hope to some kind of local HTTP server set up that will convert my videos to FLV on the fly or something but that's wishful thinking right now.
[09:28] <the-erm> Here in the US daylight savings time has changed, does anyone know if ubuntu will change it on the first week of april now or not?
[09:28] <daisy> voce fala  ingleis
[09:28] <vox754> tuskernini, hey you there?
[09:28] <GMWeezel> the-erm: If you set it to sync with time servers, it should change correctly.
[09:29] <NetCruZa> I need to program in C++, on Windows i used "Bloodshed Dev-C++" what is a good Linux alternative for that?
[09:29] <unop> foutrelis,  it's not advisable (in here atleast) . you tend to upset the ops
[09:29] <abcdef> /join #vmware
[09:29] <abcdef> ooop
[09:29] <foutrelis> unop: Sorry, didn't know :(
[09:29] <bluntz> anybody else running paltalk ?
[09:30] <abcdef> bluntz, i do
[09:30] <Silver> greetings
[09:30] <bluntz> rooms list is blank for me
[09:30] <sinister99> ive been trying to install edge amd64.  Ive tried intsalling on two different drives, automatic and manual partitioning, and I always get the error "error loading operating system".  I have the correct drive selected in the bios.
 wine?
[09:30] <yell0w> ewwwww   windoze :P
[09:30] <bluntz> yes
[09:30] <Thug-N-Me> hmm anyone using libsubtitles-perl - Perl extension for fixing timing for subtitles or subtitleeditor - GTK+ tool to edit subtitles ?
[09:30] <abcdef> yes, it won't work
[09:31] <abcdef> lol
[09:31] <ztomiccomputers> anyone know how to remove the Suspend and Hibernate buttons on Edgy with Gnome when power button is clicked?
[09:31] <bluntz> other funtions seem ok
[09:31] <pirate-king> anybody got a good link for a bootable linux floppy
[09:31] <unop> craigbass1976,  ok, it's a ownership issue .. you need to have the guest account and the user in the same group and ensure that the group has write access over the files . it should be ok then
[09:31] <bluntz> I tried the gaim pt package
[09:31] <bluntz> but no luck
[09:32] <foutrelis> pirate-king: try http://www.bootdisk.com/
[09:32] <pirate-king> thanks
[09:32] <foutrelis> np
[09:32] <vox754> sinister99, you can search your problem on google. The basic tips are to unplug your drives, plug them again, change a few options in the BIOS, or even reset it with jumper caps.
[09:32] <endryus> hallo all. I need some help for a USB modem. someone can help me?
[09:33] <yccheok> hi, is there any good ftp software in ubuntu?
[09:33] <Qaldune> don't ask to ask endryus
[09:33] <vox754> !ask > endryus
[09:33] <Kopfgeldjaeger> @ ompaul Well, i enter username/password in GDM, press enter, i see the usual blue background (changed theme), i hear the gnome drums and it "freezes", but i can go to the TTYs
[09:33] <sepheebear> yccheok: ncftp is a good ncurses client
[09:33] <foutrelis> yccheok: As a client I like gftp and as a server I have tried proftpd
[09:33] <betatux> yccheok, in case you use firefox as your webbrowser you might want to install FireFTP , an addon for Firefox
[09:33] <endryus> I have a chello connection with a ARRIS TOUCHSTONE TM402B modem
[09:34] <NetCruZa> I need to program in C++, on Windows i used "Bloodshed Dev-C++" what is a good Linux alternative for that?
[09:34] <Kopfgeldjaeger> kdevelop/eclipse
[09:34] <sepheebear> NetCruZa: vim
[09:34] <Meshezabeel> my sound has stopped working, how can I go about fixing it?
[09:34] <NetCruZa> sepheebear: vim?
[09:34] <Kopfgeldjaeger> vim is kewl
[09:34] <bluntz> alsaconf
[09:34] <ompaul> Kopfgeldjaeger, sorry I thought I had answered you after you said that, sorry, what I was going to say was that the first test I would do is prove that it is not GNOME but .gnomeX that is causing the problem by setting up a second user to test it
[09:34] <sepheebear> yes the best IDE ive ever used
[09:34] <NetCruZa> Okay, i'll try to google it
[09:35] <blue> is there an easy way to switch from utf-8 to iso8859?
[09:35] <Meshezabeel> what would cause sound to just stop working?
[09:35] <sepheebear> NetCruZa: vim is installed already
[09:35] <NetCruZa> it is?
[09:35] <crimsun> Meshezabeel: if, for instance, you muted something.
[09:35] <sepheebear> sure if its a typical ubuntu install
[09:35] <NetCruZa> sepheebear: nice!
[09:35] <endryus> I can get the connection to work
[09:35] <yccheok> soli, i mean is there any good ftp client software in ubuntu?
[09:35] <ompaul> Kopfgeldjaeger, if it okay for user2 then the problem likes in something you did in the .gnomeX space more than likely so I would tarball up your home directory move it somewhere else if you have the space
[09:35] <craigbass1976> unop, I think like you said earlier that it's got to do with samba's umask.  I forgot that I have OReilly's SAMBA book, and I think I foun what I need in that.
[09:35] <xtknight> vim is a comfortable text editor (though i prefer nano)
[09:35] <bluntz> then save with alsactl store
[09:35] <xtknight> neither is an IDE
[09:35] <foutrelis> endryus: I got my Sagem F@st 840 adsl modem working in Edgy using this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201127
[09:35] <Monkier_> yccheok: Hate to butt in, but gFTP?
[09:36] <Meshezabeel> crimsun, I didn't change any sound controls
[09:36] <sepheebear> what constitutes IDE?
[09:36] <endryus> I will have allok
[09:36] <crimsun> Meshezabeel: it doesn't matter whether _you_ did it yourself.
[09:36] <Jrabbit> I need help setting up ndiswrapper
[09:36] <Monkier_> VIM can be tailored to be an IDE, though never a complete one.
[09:36] <foutrelis> endryus: I am not sure if it will work for you but I can't sugest anything else. Good luck :)
[09:36] <Qaldune> jrabbit what's the prob
[09:36] <crimsun> Meshezabeel: pastebin the required info from http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[09:36] <NetCruZa> But maybe something more with a GUI, and where text changes color and so... And where i can just press a button to compile and run it
[09:37] <xtknight> sepheebear: there probably isn't a stark definition of it.  imo, an IDE contains an easy shortcut for compiling and generally debugging/step-thru tools
[09:37] <unop> craigbass1976,  well, the umask can help -- but if the user creates a file in that directory, he and his group own the file and guest wont have access to it (unless it is world readable/writable etc)
[09:37] <Jrabbit> Qaldune: bash doesn't recognise it
[09:37] <ompaul> Kopfgeldjaeger, then I would try some simple things like removing .gnome and .gnome2 and logging in again and stuff like that worst case you have to live with the data from the tarball and a new localusename
[09:37] <Qaldune> jrabbit: ??? what error do you get?
[09:37] <xtknight> also syntax checking, though i think vim has that
[09:38] <Monkier_> Eclipse, Ajunta, and Geany are all nice.
[09:38] <Jrabbit> Qaldune: it says its not recognized.
[09:38] <rssn> Everyone: How do I select my M-Audio revolution and not my on-board C-Media device to be the default, for audio playback?
[09:38] <bluntz> do dmesg
[09:38] <Jrabbit> Qaldune: I did a fresh install of Edgy
[09:38] <vox754> Monkier_, have you heard of Crimson Editor or Emerald Editor?
[09:38] <Qaldune> jrabbit: locate ndiswrapper | grep bin
[09:38] <xtknight> personally I just use gedit and manually compile on commadn line with a gcc cmd, that's the most convenient for me as a matter of fact
[09:38] <Monkier_> vox754: Only of the former, Crimson.
[09:38] <xtknight> but i'm not making big programs either
[09:39] <xtknight> i can see a point where i'd need to get a real IDE
[09:39] <Qaldune> jrabbit: and see take not of where is the binary
[09:39] <xtknight> can eclipse do C?
[09:39] <Jrabbit> Qaldune: Ok I'll have ot reboot
[09:39] <stjepan> yay this rocks: http://pix.nofrag.com/84/41/392dde2c9642c10993caeb2738eb.jpeg
[09:39] <Qaldune> jrabbit you don't have to reboot to do that
[09:39] <Jrabbit> Qaldune: Yeah I do
[09:39] <Jrabbit> Qaldune: I'm on windows
[09:39] <xtknight> stjepan: suse?
[09:39] <stjepan> xtknight, yes
[09:39] <Jrabbit> Qaldune: I have NO NETWORKING on Ubuntu
[09:39] <tuskernini> stjepan, cool .. what is it?
[09:40] <stjepan> xtknight, slab menu sucks with ubuntu
[09:40] <Jrabbit> Qaldune: Thats why I neeed to use it <_
[09:40] <Qaldune> jrabbit what card/usb dongle do you have?
[09:40] <stjepan> tuskernini, gnome menu (slab) in my opensuse 10.2
[09:40] <xtknight> stjepan: what is 'slab' ?  is it something you can install on other distros?
[09:40] <stjepan> slab is suse's gnome menu
[09:40] <Jrabbit> Qaldune: Linksys WUSB 11 v 2.8
[09:40] <stjepan> that's what you can see on the screenshot ;)
[09:40] <tuskernini> stjepan, i saw it at a friend using upensuse... is it loadable in ubuntu?
[09:41] <Zakir> The SLED menu is also available for ubuntu as a part of compiz.
[09:41] <ompaul> stjepan, why did a SuSE window make sense in a ubuntu support channel
[09:41] <stjepan> xtknight, you can install it in ubuntu, but it doesn't work that well there
[09:41] <Jrabbit> Qaldune: I have done it in Dapper
[09:41] <xtknight> i think it looks good, but in use i find Ubuntu's menu just dandy
[09:41] <stjepan> Zakir, compiz?? it's not a part of it
[09:41] <xtknight> i've used both
[09:41] <stjepan> ompaul, it's linux
[09:41] <xtknight> i also dislike Windows XP's new menu style (vs. old win2k style)
[09:41] <Zakir> stjepan: it used to be hosted as a part of compiz through their repos...
[09:42] <xtknight> well anyway this should be discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic , we're all guilty :)
[09:42] <Jrabbit> Qaldune: BBL
[09:42] <ompaul> stjepan, this is a ubuntu support channel not a chat room for that there is #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:42] <stjepan> xtknight, in ubuntu slab doesn't work well... bad control center, no networking info, cannot install/uninstall stuff through it
[09:42] <stjepan> ompaul, is this really offtopic?
[09:42] <Qaldune> jrabbit wait asec
[09:42] <stjepan> Zakir, that was a really bad package then...
[09:42] <Jrabbit> Qaldune: Ok.
[09:42] <ompaul> stjepan, yes, it is not a ubuntu support question
[09:43] <theidiotthatisme> stjepan? What about USP?
[09:43] <stjepan> I personally don't like it... it's not that useful
[09:43] <Qaldune> stjepan is showing as a cool feature from other distro.. don't blame him plz
[09:43] <Qaldune> showing us*
[09:43] <benkong2> any xen folks here?
[09:43] <Zakir>  stjepan: there were some major issues with the ubuntu release of it and I think that QuinnStorm made some changes to make it more compatible with ubuntu.
[09:43] <abcdef> how do i set root password for ubuntu? when i install It doesn't ask me for root password
[09:43] <xtknight> they just don't take well to discussing other distros here, that's all
[09:43] <theidiotthatisme> stjepan: I think with the new control center it might not be as useful
[09:44] <Pici> !root | abcdef
[09:44] <ubotu> abcdef: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:44] <sepheebear> abcdef: sudo passwd
[09:44] <theidiotthatisme> abcdef: The root password is the password you created for your first user.
[09:44] <qxov> hi
[09:44] <Qaldune> jrabbit: i'm sorry the site i wanted to check for you is off...
[09:44] <sepheebear> abcdef: but why the need to set a password for root?
[09:44] <Qaldune> jrabbit: reboot and try to find the binary
[09:44] <Jrabbit> Qaldune: allrighty
[09:44] <cables> theidiotthatisme, abcdef, no it's not. There is no root password by default
[09:45] <Jrabbit> Then run it right?
[09:45] <Zakir> theidiotthatisme:: not necessarily...
[09:45] <Monkier_> theidiotthatisme: There is no root password by default, sudo model just allows for any under the group 'sudoers' to gain super-user privs in using their own password.
[09:45] <abcdef> cables> yes, how do i set it
[09:45] <theidiotthatisme> Oops, I apologize :-) My misunderstanding!
[09:45] <bruenig> !sudo
[09:45] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:45] <Qaldune> jrabbit: yes
[09:45] <cables> !root | abcdef
[09:45] <ubotu> abcdef: please see above

[09:46] <brendan_> Hello, How do i reconfigure my X server using dpkg
[09:46] <xtknight> brendan_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:46] <brendan_> thankyou
[09:46] <AzRider> just ran the cd, have ubuntu but, screen is spasing, everything jumping around??
[09:47] <vox754> Qaldune, you got experience with ndiswrapper?
[09:47] <ALMimoni> ubuntu start with out windows borders, how can i fix it?
[09:48] <Phasor> I've burnt the Ubuntu 6.10 CD and am currently running in Live CD mode. I am trying to install Ubuntu onto my harddisk and am at the partitioning stage. I decided to resize my 200GB partition into 2, with one of them being the old Windows install and the new one for Ubuntu. I set the Ubuntu partition to be 33% of the disk (60.8GB). It's been resizing it for about half an hour now. Is this normal?
[09:48] <Qaldune> vox754 yep
[09:49] <blaze> Hey all,
[09:49] <ALMimoni> ubuntu starts with out windows borders, how can i fix it?
[09:50] <Kopfgeldjaeger> do u use beryl?
[09:50] <ALMimoni> yes
[09:50] <Kopfgeldjaeger> thats easy2fix
[09:50] <gop> !nubuntu
[09:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nubuntu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:50] <orangefly> make sure window decoration is checked....
[09:50] <vox754> Phasor, I resized a 80 GB NTFS to 30 GB, and I don't remember if it took that long. I think it may be normal. You defragmented right?
[09:50] <gop> any here use nubuntu
[09:50] <MybEvil_> I still can't get java to work on ubuntu :)
[09:50] <Kopfgeldjaeger> and you have a nvidia card, don't you?
[09:50] <MybEvil_> :(**

[09:51] <AzRider> anyone?
[09:51] <betatux> I'm getting a white skydome in beryl when i select a skydome picture , any ideas ?
[09:51] <Kopfgeldjaeger> maybe the file's too big?
[09:51] <Phasor> I didn't defragment right before running Ubuntu, but I did a while ago, besides I haven't deleted a lot of stuff anyway
[09:51] <orangefly> is your skydome pic a png....???....
[09:51] <blaze> !mail
[09:51] <ubotu> mail is another medium to communicate. Ubuntu mailinglists can be found at http://lists.ubuntu.com
[09:51] <lisapc> anyone know how to create a rescue partition and have ability to restore from a hidden rescue partition if needed?
[09:52] <blaze> !email
[09:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about email - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:52] <Phasor> Is that why it is taking a while, it's defragmenting the Windows partition?
[09:52] <ALMimoni> Kopfgeldjaeger: i'm not set beryl to start with startup programs.
[09:52] <mjbjr> later this afternoon, I'm upgrading (total install) a friend's computer to the latest ubuntu.  I don't follow ubuntu... are there any known gotcha's?  tips?  other?
[09:53] <vox754> Phasor, I defragmented like three times in a row before resizing. I don't think it is defragmenting but it may be a reason. Now, you didn't hear this from me, but I prefer Knoppix Live CD to partition.
[09:53] <Juhaz> Phasor, perhaps. it's not defragmenting as such, but if the partition is fragmented, it may not be able to move large consequential chunks of data without arranging space for it first
[09:53] <ALMimoni> ubuntu start with out windows borders, how can i fix it?
[09:53] <sceadugenga> hi, how does one change the TCP window size in ubuntu?
[09:53] <Qaldune> mjbjr get a nice sources.list
[09:53] <Phasor> Thanks for the advice. I hadn't thought about defragging as a possible explanation
[09:53] <unop> sceadugenga,  that'd be a linux thing not ubuntu thing :)
[09:54] <orangefly> ALMimoni: is window decoration checked....???....
[09:54] <sceadugenga> ok, so how do I change it though?
[09:54] <betatux> orangefly, Oh it must be a .png ? k i'm using jpg's , let me check that
[09:54] <mjbjr> Qaldune: is that a repository list?  where do I get such a thing?  find out more?
[09:54] <Qaldune> mjbjr take a look a ubuntu-guide.org to install graphics drivers or codecs or whatever
[09:54] <Kopfgeldjaeger> it should work with PNG ,too
[09:54] <Qaldune> mjbjr yes it is
[09:54] <Kopfgeldjaeger> ah
[09:54] <mjbjr> ah  thanks
[09:54] <Kopfgeldjaeger> i mean jpg
[09:54] <ALMimoni> orangefly: i dont know :(
[09:54] <Qaldune> mjbjr wait a sec
[09:54] <mjbjr> k
[09:54] <Phasor> Oh well, it doesn't matter, I can leave the computer on until about 11:30PM GMT, while I watch Al Murray's Happy Hour (brilliant program by the way, if your in the UK I recommend you try it, it's on ITV1 later tonight)
[09:54] <orangefly> i think jpg's are supposed to work, but i can only get png's to work....
[09:55] <TheftOfLife> Is there a way to tell nvidia xorg (kubuntu) to change resolution without logging out? ctrl+alt++ isn't working and I have multiple modes available.
[09:55] <mjbjr> Qaldune: there is no ubuntu-guide.org
[09:55] <Qaldune> mjbjr http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#General_Notes
[09:55] <dougb> does anyone have experience with KVM?
[09:55] <mjbjr> ah
[09:55] <Qaldune> look for repositories
[09:55] <orangefly> beryl manager>visual effects>window decoration
[09:55] <dougb> i mean LVM
[09:55] <Qaldune> you're right i was wrong with that address
[09:56] <paradoxx> What is the current state of the ntfs driver for ubuntu? Can I write safely ntfs parititons now?
[09:56] <mjbjr> Qaldune: thanks for the help
[09:56] <CPUnerdX> org
[09:56] <CPUnerdX> argh
[09:56] <Qaldune> paradoxx ntfs linux drivers have just come out some days ago
[09:56] <cables> When I lock the screen, my screensaver sometimes shows up... but not always. Does anyone have any ideas?
[09:56] <foutrelis> paradoxx: First stable ntfs-3g version was released recently :)
[09:56] <ALMimoni> ubuntu starts without windows borders, how can i fix it?
[09:56] <vox754> TheftOfLife, I'm not completely sure, but I think the CTRL+ALT++ is disabled by default, and you need to activate it the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". Not sure.
[09:57] <orangefly> beryl manager>visual effects>window decoration
[09:57] <Qaldune> paradoxx look for ntfs3g

[09:58] <paradoxx> Are any of you guys useing it?
[09:58] <Kopfgeldjaeger> oh man... i want my gnome to work :'(
[09:58] <kekko_> hi all
[09:59] <vox754> paradoxx, some guys say it is safe. I haven't tried it. It may never be safe enough as it remains proprietary.
[09:59] <kekko_> can somebody remind me where to check hardware profile of my machine in shell?
[09:59] <paradoxx> vox754: kk, thx man
[09:59] <ALMimoni> orangefly: yes
[09:59] <Qaldune> vox754 ntfs3g headline was now it is safe to write on ntfs partitions running linux :)
[10:00] <unop> kekko_,  lshw, hwinfo, lspci, lsusb
[10:00] <orangefly> sorry....that was my problem an hour ago....thought it could be the same thing....
[10:00] <kekko_> thanks unop!
[10:00] <orangefly> if you have an nvidia card, there is another fix i've seen....
[10:00] <vox754> Qaldune, what about that other fuse.
[10:01] <TheftOfLife> command line tool to change x resolutions (answering my own question): gvidm
[10:01] <Qaldune> what fuse?
[10:01] <unop> ntfs3g runs atop fuse
[10:01] <bkervaski> Anyone have know of a faq that will let me configure an ipsec tunnel w/ubuntu?
[10:01] <Meshezabeel> can anyone help with a sound problem, my sound used to work, but doesn't anymore, my pastebin is at: http://pastebin.com/888137
[10:01] <vox754> unop, so fuse and ntfs3g are basically the same? I have no experience with that.
[10:01] <Juhaz> TheftOfLife, tried "xrandr"?
[10:02] <Kioshen> bkervaski, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPSecHowTo
[10:02] <bkervaski> Thanks, Kioshen.
[10:02] <Juhaz> vox754, fuse is a kernel framework for writing user-space filesystem drivers
[10:02] <unop> vox754,  ahh no .. fuse is the subsystem that all these esoteric filesystems use as their base -- things like ntfs-3g, sshfs, ftpfs, etc
[10:03] <Juhaz> vox754, and ntfs3g is an userspace filesystem that uses fuse
[10:04] <Scoaz> m'aurait-on lachement kick ?
[10:04] <vox754> unop, Juhaz so I could just write my own filesystem with fuse?
[10:04] <unop> sure
[10:04] <unop> vox754,  absolutely
[10:05] <mjr> vox754, 'course; you can of course write your own filesystem also without fuse, but it does make certain things easier
[10:05] <YangYin> does anyone know how i can change the options i get when i right mouse click on the desktop
[10:05] <vox754> mjr, unop well, seems interesting, but again, no experience with that.
[10:05] <GMWeezel> How can I change the default application for files?
[10:06] <Kioshen> YangYin, have you tried going in system>preferences>mouse ?
[10:06] <calamari> hi
[10:06] <n3rrd> hmmm... I just reinstalled Ubuntu with the alternate install disc.  I don't remember it asking me to set up a username/password.  What do I use as one if it didn't ask?
[10:06] <YangYin> Kioshen: yes
[10:06] <calamari> how do I get the numerical mode for a file?
[10:07] <Kioshen> calamari, do you mean it's permissions bit ?
[10:07] <calamari> Kioshen: yes
[10:07] <n3rrd> Any ideas?
[10:07] <Elrik> Hey, I want to install wireless network assistant, but since i don't have a connection to the internet on my ubuntu linux computer i have to do it manually, but i have no idea what on this page i'm supposed to download, help please.
[10:07] <Elrik> http://wlassistant.sourceforge.net/
[10:07] <foutrelis> n3rrd: It must have asked you.. for a Full Name, Username and Passowrd (for the first user). :)
[10:08] <foutrelis> *Password
[10:08] <Kioshen> calamari, in the gui i don't know in the terminal it's a simple ls -l
[10:08] <steelb> how do i uninstall things with apt-get?
[10:08] <calamari> Kioshen: ls -l doesn't give the NUMERICAL permissions
[10:08] <foutrelis> steelb: apt-get remove [foo]
[10:08] <n3rrd> :|  I would have entered the same thing I always do.  It asked the first time I installed, but not after the format...
[10:08] <Zakir> apt-get remove package-name
[10:08] <steelb> thanks
[10:08] <vespoli> hello, what can I do to find a suitable audio driver for my system
[10:09] <vespoli> my audio used to work, now it says there are no gstreamer plugins / devices found
[10:09] <Elrik> vespoli using rythmbox?
[10:09] <vespoli> I'm using ubuntu
[10:09] <vespoli> :P
[10:09] <vespoli> no, xmms
[10:09] <vespoli> my sound subsystem does not function
[10:09] <pianoboy3333> How can I delete a page in oowriter?
[10:09] <Elrik> Ok, to install gstreamer, just press Applications, add / remove, and search for a program named gstreamer
[10:10] <Elrik> install the video and audio programs you found there, and you'll be able to run mp3
[10:10] <tropicana> hi all
[10:10] <tur1> hi
[10:10] <tropicana> i have a problem installing ubuntu if anyone is willing to help?
[10:10] <vespoli> Elrik, do you even know what gstreamer is
[10:11] <pianoboy3333> Elrik: ummm... no
[10:11] <Kioshen> calamari, oh sorry you can use stat for this
[10:11] <foutrelis> tropicana: What seems to be the problem?
[10:11] <calamari> Kioshen: thanks
[10:11] <vespoli> Elrik, AFAIK gstreamer is standard with every ubuntu install

[10:11] <tur1> tropicana: what kind of problem?
[10:11] <pianoboy3333> Elrik: probably... if you didn't have gstreamer in stalled... your system would malfunction
[10:11] <Elrik> vespoli thought you was asking for a codec to play mp3 files :P
[10:12] <vespoli> no
[10:12] <JustinWhitaker> beinvenue, wilkomen, welcome

[10:15] <tropicana> Justin: Raid0 for xp and a ide drive, NOTE: i have tried disabling RAID 0 drives but no luck
[10:16] <Shadow_mil> Yeah baby!!!  I got 1GB of RAM now 8)
[10:16] <pianoboy3333> ALMimoni: well, most likely this means your 3d isn't working properly
[10:16] <JustinWhitaker> ok, you are out of my depth. I have no experience with RAID systems
[10:16] <ALMimoni> pianoboy3333: how can i fix it
[10:16] <pearism> Xzenome, not really. i have a feeling I may have "killed" some audio process from the task manager but I'm not sure what to check for :(
[10:16] <bcl> tenco: why are you using LVM? IMHO its a PITA and you're better off with ext3 or ReiserFS
[10:16] <tropicana> set that asside, with it disabled it still doesnt work
[10:16] <Nitro-Wii> dose firestarter have a irc?
[10:16] <lisapc> anyone know how to create a rescue partition and have ability to restore from a hidden rescue partition if needed?
[10:17] <tenco> bcl: seems like i have to use lvcreate...
[10:17] <Xzenome> pearism, have you tried rebooting. If you killed the process it should restart.
[10:17] <mjbjr> Nitro-Wii: why would it have irc?
[10:17] <tenco> bcl: i have 4 drives i want to cat together
[10:17] <sepheebear> bcl: LVM isnt the same as ext3 or reiserfs
[10:17] <bcl> tenco: I've done it along time ago with Fedora, but it was always more trouble than it was worth.
[10:17] <pianoboy3333> ALMimoni: Try to keep your questions less broad... when you say how can I fix it, you should also include your specs, do you know what sort of graphics card you have? have you tried running metacity/kwin to get some window manager?
[10:17] <pianoboy3333> ALMimoni: you should always say what you've tried also
[10:17] <bcl> Well, yes I know that LVM exists under the actual FS.
[10:17] <pearism> xz, yep, i have rebooted since then. so i guess it's not what i thought. any ideas?
[10:17] <mjbjr> Nitro-Wii: do you mean have an irc channel?
[10:17] <tenco> bcl: i dont think i can do that with ext3 or reiserfs
[10:17] <JustinWhitaker> trop...only time I've had that error come up is either bios issues, or a bad cd
[10:18] <Nitro-Wii> so i cant talk to some experianced firewall peoples :3
[10:18] <bcl> But in my experience it is more trouble to setup, especially for new users, than any benefit from it.
[10:18] <bruenig> lisapc, I guess you could tar up the entire filesystem, and put that on another partition, then if you needed to, just boot into the live cd and copy the files over to restore
[10:18] <pianoboy3333> Nitro-Wii: have you tried looking for one?
[10:18] <tropicana> Justin: hmmm the cd works in other computers...
[10:18] <foutrelis> Nitro-Wii: I thought firestarter would be some kind of a router.. :\ That's why I suggested that link.. Stupid me :)
[10:18] <JustinWhitaker> ok, so it's not that then...
[10:18] <mjbjr> Nitro-Wii: join it and see, or check their website
[10:18] <tropicana> no i think its something to do with this machine, but this is the machine i wanna use it on lol
[10:18] <Zakir> Nitro-Wii: try #firestarter on irc.openprojects.net
[10:19] <bcl> tenco: you can do that with RAID. And LVM from what I hear. But with LVM I believe if you lose any of the disks the whole FS is toast.
[10:19] <tenco> bcl: it's "only" a homeserver
[10:19] <tenco> bcl: sth to play with
[10:19] <Xzenome> pearism, run type "lsmod" and post the out put at http://michael-m.co.uk/pastebin
[10:20] <lisapc> can I install ubuntu as FAT32, so I can dual boot with MS Vista and copy files acrosss?
[10:20] <tenco> bcl: if i use raid0(?) i have the same issue, btw
[10:20] <brendan_> Hello i'm having some trouble setting up beryl under ubuntu 6.10. The output when i try to run beryl from the commandline is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7393/
[10:20] <Nitro-Wii> do not want!
[10:20] <robdeman> hey folks, what would be a good Gnome GUI for Snort?
[10:20] <bcl> tenco: Use RAID5
[10:21] <bruenig> lisapc, no, you can create an extra fat32 partition and put files you want to share in that, or you can just get the ext3 driver for windows and use that to get files off the ubuntu partition
[10:21] <Nitro-Wii> zomg
[10:21] <lisapc> bruenig how reliable is the the ext3 driver for windows?
[10:22] <Raider1> Turned out I had forgot to disable RAID in the BIOS ... Disabled it, Ubuntu installed smooth

[10:22] <bruenig> lisapc, http://fs-driver.org/
[10:22] <JustinWhitaker> oy ve gentoo

[10:22] <LapSmiley> I'm wondering how to find out if my belkin wireless card is supported.
[10:22] <bruenig> lisapc, I am saying just a separate partition that has nothing to do with the filesystem that is empty by default that you put stuff on
[10:23] <tropicana> Raider1: what raid do you have? how in the bios did you disable yours? i have disabled mine and still have issues
[10:23] <LapSmiley> its a 54g Wireless PCMCIA card.... other than that, i dont know much more (cept its belkin)
[10:23] <Elrik> wtf
[10:23] <bruenig> mounted in /media/share or wherever
[10:23] <GionnyBoss> I just wanted to know if it's worth using WPA on linux... I mean, WEP works very good... will WPA work good too without problems?
[10:23] <lisapc> bruenig so when I install ubuntu, create ext3 for ubuntu but aother partiton as FAT32?  can I copy files from /home to the fat32 partition?
[10:23] <SNippL> any1 knows good usb-stick tools?
[10:23] <MybEvil_> How can I make .sh files pause?
[10:23] <bruenig> lisapc, yes
[10:23] <SNippL> sort of sec 2?
[10:23] <MybEvil_> like in .bat's on windows you just put in it "pause"
[10:23] <Zakir> WEP has some major security flaws. If possible, use WPA. I've used WPA with out any problems.
[10:24] <bruenig> lisapc, or again, the ext3 driver http://fs-driver.org/
[10:24] <lisapc> bruenig then when I boot MS Vista, Vista can read that partition?
[10:24] <bcl> GionnyBoss: WEP is totally insecure these days. I think WPA works when using ndiswrappers.
[10:24] <Xzenome> pearism, yours looks similar to mine so it looks alright at the kernel level.
[10:24] <lisapc> bruenig i heard that http://fs-driver.org/ corupts the hdd
[10:24] <bruenig> lisapc, I have never heard that, but fat32 is fine like you said, just giving you the options
[10:24] <tenco> ok, i have to use lvcreate vg_name, but i have to specify a size. how can i tell lvcreate to use all storage available through a volume group?
[10:25] <Xzenome> SimileyLap, is it not automatically supported by Ubuntu?
[10:25] <Elrik> Lapsmiley, we all do, don't we.
[10:25] <SmileyLap> Xzenome: well, it didn't do anything when i booted up
[10:25] <SmileyLap> so i dont know :)
[10:25] <pearism> Xzenome, well if is not software...i guess its hardware. my sound card might have b0rked :(

[10:25] <linuXx> is there a way to use my machine as repeater for wlan? I mean with it's own ssid, etc.
[10:26] <Xzenome> SmileyLap, Go into System > Administration > Network and play about with the wlan0 device. If it doesn't exist tell me.

[10:26] <fdr> hello... I have the feeling that my laptop is not spining down the hd in order to save power... what is the daemon that's supposed to do it so that I can check it? thanks!
[10:26] <MybEvil_> When I login with gaim, the screen disappears
[10:26] <Xzenome> pearism, try posting on ubuntuforums.org you're more likely to get a responce from someone who knows what they're talking about there.
[10:27] <SmileyLap> Xzenome: i have eth0, and eth1. And it says eth1 is wireless..
[10:27] <mjbjr> I was reviewing some old ubuntu notes, and I saw that someone had said that the user you make during the ubuntu install is in the admin group, and that using net clients while in the 'admin' group wasn't the best idea, and running as "real" separately added user aws a better idea.  Is that the current install situation?  Do you agree?
[10:27] <pearism> Xzenome, ok, thanks. ill do that!
[10:27] <gpd> I am getting errors with upgrade to edgy with courier-authdaemon - can someone help?
[10:27] <Xzenome> SimleyLap, so eth1 is your wireless card then. You card is ready for you to enter your wireless details into.
[10:28] <n3rrd> *sigh*  For some reason, Ubuntu keeps booting to a black screen after going through the loading bar.  It worked a little while ago, and I didn't change anything.
[10:28] <EruIluv> Hi?
[10:29] <EruIluv> is it normal for me not being able to acces my hard drives while on live cd?
[10:29] <JustinWhitaker> Eruil-yep
[10:29] <JustinWhitaker> you need to mount it
[10:29] <n3rrd> So either it's a random error, or my USB dongle is causing a problem at boot...
[10:29] <EruIluv> mount it ? you mean , install it on the hd?
[10:30] <bruenig> EruIluv, what is the name of the harddrive, /dev/what
[10:30] <EruIluv> does the name matter? its TOP i guess
[10:30] <EruIluv> D:
[10:30] <tanakorn> Hello , i need Linux authencication gateway application, can anyone suggest me ?

[10:31] <EruIluv> ok . ill try it when i reboot , thx bruenig  ... but what whould i do next?
[10:31] <ashtar> hello, I can't resize my ubuntu partition
[10:31] <tenco> bcl: thanks. that helped
[10:32] <bruenig> EruIluv, when you get in there open gaim, you can get on irc from there
[10:32] <SmileyLap> pah, im used to this not clicking, didn't even know it could.... now i boot up linux on it, it works, \o/ but the padclicks :-s
[10:32] <tbodine> How do I keep devices from showing up on the desktop? (Such as an MP3 player, a CD, etc.)

[10:32] <EruIluv> ok
[10:32] <tbodine> I still want them mounted and ready to go, just not on the desktop.
[10:32] <cables> tbodine, alt-f2, then gconf-editor

[10:33] <atrak> hi, when I try to resize my ubuntu partition with gparted, there's a lock next to the partitions and I can't create new one
[10:33] <ubunt1> hey how can i enable LOgitech wheel to work
[10:34] <ubunt1> !logitech
[10:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about logitech - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:34] <cables> atrak, how many partitions do you have already?
[10:34] <Xzenome> atrak, you can modify mounted partitions, thus they are locked.
[10:34] <bruenig> atrak, it needs to be unounted, what does this partition have on it
[10:34] <ubunt1> i have optical mouse
[10:34] <Softly> sup?
[10:34] <SmileyLap> Xzenome: Ok, im back..... it doesn't work :) Its called eth1 and it fails :(
[10:34] <atrak> 1
[10:34] <Jrabbit> Ok
[10:34] <ubunt1> and whell
[10:34] <ubunt1> and whell
[10:34] <atrak> it only has ubuntu on it
[10:34] <Xzenome> SmileyLap,# what errors do you get?
[10:34] <Softly> ??
[10:34] <pianoboy3333> How can I delete a page in oowriter?
[10:34] <Jrabbit> I need to get a Windows Driver working on Edgy, NDISwrapper is the only way right?
[10:34] <bruenig> atrak, ok, yeah you can't modify mounted partitions, you can't unmount this partition, because then the OS would stop, you need to use the live cd
[10:35] <Jrabbit> Or has it been replaced/taken off the install
[10:35] <ubunt1> bruenig i have logitech optical mouse and i need wheel to work
[10:35] <SmileyLap> Xzenome: none...
[10:35] <bruenig> ubunt1, get a different mount
[10:35] <SmileyLap> unless eth1 might be some onboard modem or something, and its not seeing my wlan card?
[10:35] <bruenig> mouse*
[10:35] <atrak> alright, thanks
[10:35] <ubunt1> bruenig ?????????? mount ???
[10:35] <Xzenome> SmileyLap would you like to do remote desktop and I'll take a look myself.
[10:35] <ubunt1> bruenig why?
[10:35] <bruenig> s/mount/mouse/
[10:36] <bruenig> that is my advice, you directed the question at me for some unknown reason and that is what I would do.
[10:36] <SmileyLap> Xzenome: if it somehow gets through all of these firewalls, sure, how would i do that?
[10:36] <ubunt1> brueing the direction is for you
[10:36] <ubunt1> burenig becouse you know how to help
[10:36] <john> does archive manager have support for 7z?
[10:36] <vox754> Jrabbit, ndiswrapper is only for wireless cards drivers.
[10:36] <Xzenome> SmileyLap, System>Preferences>Remote Desktop , then tell me your IP address.
[10:37] <Jrabbit> vox547: Its for a wireless driver....
[10:37] <ubunt1> now i have logitech optical mouse can i enable the wheel to work like windows xp
[10:37] <Jrabbit> vox547: I've done it before in Dapper about 5 times and now it doesn't work on a clean install of Edgy
[10:37] <SmileyLap> Xzenome: it says localhost xD
[10:37] <bruenig> john, you need to install p7zip
[10:38] <john> k
[10:38] <Jrabbit> vox547: I don't want to lug my system to my access point.
[10:38] <Xzenome> SmileyLap, go to http://whatismyip.com
[10:38] <ubunt1>  Plug n' Play, then edited xorg.conf so the wheel would scroll.
[10:38] <SmileyLap> Xzenome: im behind two NAT firewalls, along wtih IPtables....
[10:38] <Jrabbit> vox547: The device it seen and 'configured' but no luck actually conencting to a server
[10:38] <SmileyLap> i doubt your going to be able to view it :-/
[10:38] <Elrik> Really, linux needs to create better support for wireless network card. and windows needs to rot in hell for forcing linux to make better support for wireless network cards.
[10:39] <eobanb> what happened to disks-admin in edgy
[10:39] <Xzenome> SmileyLap, we can give it a try. It might go through against odds.
[10:39] <SmileyLap> hahaha ok
[10:39] <Jrabbit> Elrik ++
[10:39] <SmileyLap> <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:39] <Jrabbit> Its pathetic how much work it takes me to setup
[10:39] <eDRoaCH> i have a question...
[10:40] <Elrik> Yeah, I've been working for 10 hours non stop fixing this today, and yesterday i spent 3 hours during the evening Jrabbit
[10:40] <bruenig> well if the linux people would just buy cards that worked that had drivers made for them, perhaps there would be financial incentive for drivers to be made, which is why I never understand people using ati or ndiswrapper, go buy a card that works with drivers
[10:40] <karim> hi
[10:40] <DinkyDogg> hi
[10:40] <DinkyDogg> is it possible to boot and onlly use command prompt from the live cd?
[10:40] <GenNMX> Hey, I finally decided on ubuntu-server, but I also want an X display. I installed xfce4 and all that jazz, but I can't start the wm. Now I'm installing xubuntu-desktop metapackage. Should that do it?
[10:40] <Jrabbit> Elrik I'm tempted to scrap edgy and go back to my rock, Dapper
[10:40] <DinkyDogg> x is completely glitchy for me from the live cd
[10:40] <eDRoaCH> i got a wikimedia server up on ubuntu at work this week. did a server install so i could do raid 1 on 4 partitions (root, swap, home, and var) and then did apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. (Btw this is 6.06 but i did apt-get upgrade)
[10:40] <bruenig> GenNMX, that will do it
[10:40] <loquesea> hello

[10:41] <Jrabbit> I've screwed up my xorg.conf how can I fix that via shell?
[10:41] <Xzenome> what a shame
[10:41] <GenNMX> DinkyDogg: Use the alternate install CD, that doesn't use X.
[10:41] <eDRoaCH> does it not work with raid?
