[18:00] <arvind_khadri> I want aptitude only to look at the latest repo i added, how do i do that?
[18:00] <Buttons840> kinja-sheep, what is gnome-systems-tools?  this is not installed on my machine?   (assuming i can access it by typing "gnome-system-tools" in terminal)?

[18:01] <kinja-sheep> Buttons840: The binary "users-admin" comes from gnome-systems-tools.
[18:01] <Buttons840> kinja-sheep, ok, to be clear i'm using the program that comes when doing "gksudo users-admin"
[18:01] <sam09> I have reinstalled ubuntu 9.10 again. having issues with dual booting. I am trying to dual boot a win7 with Ubuntu 9.10. No matter which article i try i have had no luck. Can anyone offer assistance please?
[18:02] <nick125> CAPcap: Well, it depends on which login manager you want to use. Do you want to use gdm (Ubuntu's login manager) or kdm (Kubuntu's login manager)?
[18:02] <CAPcap> so its just asking about my log in screen?
[18:02] <nick125> CAPcap: yes
[18:02] <CAPcap> how do i choose?
[18:03] <llutz> CAPcap: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm/kdm/slim   (chose what you want)
[18:03] <kinja-sheep> Buttons840: You could try it via the terminal. /etc/gdm/custom.conf
[18:03] <CAPcap> i want gdm
[18:03] <matelot> Looking for a lightweight, personal-use version control, any suggestion ?
[18:03] <nick125> CAPcap: It should be giving you a list of the two on that screen...or what llutz said.
[18:03] <Buttons840> kinja-sheep, thanks; let me take a loook
[18:03] <nick125> matelot: git
[18:03] <kinja-sheep> !away > njpatel|away
[18:03] <stam> that's what she said
[18:04] <CAPcap> ok got it im good, thanks :)
[18:04] <stam> i mean hello
[18:04] <matelot> nick125, is it easy and lightweight ?
[18:04] <guntbert> !hi | stam
[18:04] <Buttons840> kinja-sheep, i don't have the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file?
[18:04] <kinja-sheep> Buttons840: Are you using GDM?
[18:05] <CAPcap> !hi | ubottu
[18:05] <Buttons840> kinja-sheep, i don't know, i installed 9.10, ran the updates, and that's all
[18:05] <guntbert> !askthebot > CAPcap
[18:05] <CAPcap> I like to play with the bot lol
[18:05] <nick125> matelot: Depends on your definition of easy and lightweight. Git is a bit on the "rough" side on the learning curve, but it's quite powerful. It's also quite fast and has a relatively light "weight," as far as how much diskspace it uses.
[18:05] <kinja-sheep> Buttons840: I see. Why do you not have the administrator task?
[18:05] <guntbert> CAPcap: but please not in the channel
[18:06] <CAPcap> ok
[18:06] <Buttons840> kinja-sheep, rephrase?  what is "the administrator task"?
[18:06] <kinja-sheep> Buttons840: The root administrator. The one with the ability to update && upgrade.
[18:06] <epinky> !botabuse | CAPcap
[18:07] <IdleOne> CAPcap: you can join #ubuntu-bots to "play" but please follow that channels guidelines also :)
[18:07] <kinja-sheep> Buttons840: You create a new user for your family?
[18:07] <sam09> I am currently having difficulty making grub see bot OS's Linux and Win7, they are both installed on 2 different drives. I tried to follow documentation but most talks about same drive separate partition, can anyone assist please?
[18:07] <CAPcap> ive already been chastised so shut up
[18:07] <Buttons840> kinja-sheep, i am root right now, but i'm seeking a restricted, no password, account for family
[18:07] <matelot> nick125, thanks, that's my perception too "not so easy" , just found git-core is installed, I think I will remove it, and go with something more "traditional" like cvs.subversion
[18:07] <n0ah_> none of my usb devices are recognized. running 'tail -f /var/log/messages' shows nothing when they are plugged in/out.
[18:07] <Buttons840> kinja-sheep, i've created the account, and can log in, but cannot enable auto-login or disable password prompts
[18:07] <nick125> matelot: It's better than SVN, especially for a small project. Once you have git configured (name and email), you can just do 'git init' in a directory and that directory now git-enabled. Then you can do 'git add .' to add all of the files in the directory, then a 'git commit -a' to "commit" the changes to the repo.
[18:07] <arvind_khadri> I want aptitude only to look at the latest repo i added, how do i do that?
[18:07] <airstrike> has anybody experienced router disconnection when using a webcam?
[18:08] <kinja-sheep> Buttons840: Okay. Try this. It should work (hopefully).
[18:08] <Pici> arvind_khadri: Why would you want to do that?
[18:08] <IdleOne> CAPcap: there was no need for that, have a great day!
[18:08] <nukeman8000> im having trouble compiling cdemu, can anyone help?
[18:08] <nukeman8000> whenever i try to 'make' it, it says there is no 'makefile' but i can see that there is
[18:08] <nick125> matelot: Honestly, SVN is about the same when it comes to difficulty. Plus, it's harder to setup for a single repo.
[18:09] <arvind_khadri> Pici, just for once, as i have updated my system and just now i added a ppa ,and just want to update from them
[18:09] <kinja-sheep> Buttons840: "nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf"  http://pastebin.com/f1f57d393
[18:09] <matelot> nick125, I see thanks, taking a look at git doc
[18:09] <kinja-sheep> Buttons840: Add sudo. Change username.
[18:09] <guntbert> !compile | nukeman8000 did you see
[18:09] <Junkyard> How to install fonts in Ubuntu downloaded from net?
[18:09] <matelot> nick125, is there GUI client or something for Git ?
[18:09] <Buttons840> kinja-sheep, so just copy the stuff from the pastebin to the custom.conf file?
[18:09] <kinja-sheep> !font | Junkyard
[18:10] <Pici> arvind_khadri: Then you'd just do an update like normal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[18:10] <kinja-sheep> Buttons840: Yes. And change username. That is all.
[18:10] <SealedWithAKiss> I attempted to upgrade from GRUB version one to GRUB2. I messed it up, and after hours of attempting to repair the problem last night with another user, we had to call it a night and give up. I know that my data is safe, however I am unable to boot into any OS. Cany anybody help?
[18:10] <arvind_khadri> Pici, no options in aptitude??
[18:10] <Pici> arvind_khadri: I don't see how looking at one repo would be helpful.
[18:10] <CAPcap> nick125 it went thru a ton of stuff and says done, so, if i reboot, i'll have the options?
[18:10] <n0ah_> none of my usb devices are recognized. running 'tail -f /var/log/messages' shows nothing when they are plugged in/out. tried choosing another kernel at grub.
[18:11] <wildc4rd> evening all
[18:11] <nick125> CAPcap: You can just logout and look around for something like "Session: GNOME". Change that to KDE and you should be good to go.
[18:11] <kinja-sheep> arvind_khadri: "sudo aptitude update && aptitude search <newPackageInRepo>"
[18:11] <arvind_khadri> Pici, it will save the time
[18:11] <nick125> matelot: The GUIs for Git probably aren't what you're looking for. The GUIs are typically for viewing history.
[18:12] <kinja-sheep> n0ah_: Use "dmesg | tail" instead.
[18:12] <Pici> arvind_khadri: Packages usually have dependencies that are not satisfied within their particular repository, thus making it unfeasable to just install from within them.
[18:12] <guntbert> Buttons840: could be that you current (first) account is set to auto login?
[18:12] <chipotles> hello
[18:13] <Ricoshady> how do I give a user the right to restart/shutdown and to restart apache?
[18:13] <arvind_khadri> Pici, ohh ok
[18:13] <ReekenX> Hello everybody. Could anyone tell me is there is repository for Opera browser and why it's still isn't official?
[18:13] <Buttons840> guntbert, no, there are no accounts which auto-login (assuming auto-login means login automatcially at boot)
[18:13] <kinja-sheep> Ricoshady: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers
[18:13] <chipotles> hello how i can i update emesene
[18:13] <n0ah_> kinjda-sheep, what sould i be looking for there?
[18:14] <guntbert> Buttons840: well - it was an idea :-(
[18:14] <Buttons840> i'm going to log out and see if it work kinja-sheep, if you don't see me again soon assume it worked, and you have my thanks :)
[18:14] <n0ah_> *kinja-sheep
[18:14] <IdleOne> ReekenX: because FireFox is the official Ubuntu browser
[18:14] <kinja-sheep> n0ah_: Depends on what you are looking for in accordance to the plugged hardwares. Not everything is in writing.
[18:14] <IdleOne> ReekenX: try searching for Opera PPA
[18:15] <chipotles> shit this tink is crazy
[18:15] <IdleOne> !language | chipotles
[18:15] <chipotles> ok ok
[18:15] <n0ah_> kinja-sheep  i would like to know why my usb devices don't show up anymore. including my bult-in cam. there is no reference to them being plugged in. sometimes they work right at startup, but then stop
[18:15] <IdleOne> chipotles: thank you
[18:16] <SealedWithAKiss> I attempted to upgrade from GRUB version one to GRUB2. I messed it up, and after hours of attempting to repair the problem last night with another user, we had to call it a night and give up. I know that my data is safe, however I am unable to boot into any OS. Cany anybody help?
[18:16] <chipotles> i have a question
[18:16] <kinja-sheep> n0ah_: In that case, you want to try "lsusb" -- It'll list all usbs.
[18:16] <IdleOne> ask
[18:16] <PyroPhelia> any fiber experts around?
[18:16] <Jowi> n0ah_, if you upgraded your kernel recently you may want to go back to the older version.
[18:16] <chipotles> i need to update my emesene
[18:17] <ReekenX> IdleOne: Thanks a lot :)
[18:17] <kinja-sheep> !latest | chipotles
[18:17] <n0ah_> Jowi, and how do I get them to work again?
[18:17] <kinja-sheep> chipotles: Look for updated deb or PPA.
[18:17] <nukeman8000> ok, now when i try to './configure' it says im missing 'dbus-1' and 'dbus-glib-1' and i cant find those packages
[18:17] <nukeman8000> i feel like a total noob
[18:17] <NateW> is there a way to build from source inside of a folder? (not touching any system files)
[18:18] <Southafrikanse> hello all. I need to recover my grub after a windows install. but when i do setup (hd0,5) I get an error 22: No such partition. I've googled it but didnt mange to get anything to work. Any ideas?
[18:18] <kinja-sheep> chipotles: "NOTICE: Download links for 1.6 will be added as soon as they're available!" on the site.
[18:18] <sumoduno> can you make cinelerra into a single window, instead of 4 different windows?
[18:18] <chipotles> ok
[18:18] <chipotles> thanks
[18:18] <nukeman8000> ubottu: any advice?
[18:18] <Jowi> n0ah_, as kinja-sheep said, see if they show with "lsusb" first. If they do not, reboot the computer and select the kernel that is second to the top (not counting "recovery/safe mode" selections)
[18:18] <epinky> nukeman8000: search the exact name for dbus package with "apt-cache search dbus"
[18:18] <buttons840> kinja-sheep, that worked, it now does auto-login.   if i then log out and try to re-enter family account it still asks for password, can this be disabled?
[18:18] <nukeman8000> lol
[18:19] <nukeman8000> ok
[18:19] <n0ah_> southafrikanse are you sure it should be hd0,5? it starts counting at 0, not 1
[18:19] <kinja-sheep> buttons840: That, I do not know.
[18:19] <ritchje> Hi, Is there a way i can turn up the sound on certain programs?
[18:19] <n0ah_> Jowi, yeah i see some things listed when i do lsusb, but i have tried booting with the other kernel and they still don't work
[18:20] <Southafrikanse> n0ah_, I did a find /boot/grub/stage1 and it gave me (hd0,5)
[18:20] <nick125> ritchje: What version of Ubuntu?
[18:20] <buttons840> kinja-sheep, is there a manual which describes what can be done with gdm, or this custom.conf file?
[18:20] <ritchje> nick123: 9.10
[18:20] <n0ah_> southafrikanse ah ok
[18:20] <ritchje> nick125: 9.10
[18:20] <kinja-sheep> buttons840: There should be. I'll try to find something. You too. Buddy.
[18:20] <nick125> ritchje: If it's 9.04 or 9.10 (which both use Pulseaudio, if I remember correctly), then you should be able to grab a program called pavucontrol.
[18:20] <Jowi> n0ah_, what kind of USB devices are missing?
[18:20] <ritchje> ok
[18:21] <ritchje> i'll look it up
[18:21] <nick125> ritchje: In there, you should be able to adjust the volume of individual programs.
[18:21] <ritchje> nick125: thanks!
[18:21] <n0ah_> just a usb thumb drive and a camera, and a phone. they all used to work when i first installed ubuntu yesterday
[18:21] <n0ah_> Jowi, just a usb thumb drive and a camera, and a phone. they all used to work when i first installed ubuntu yesterday
[18:21] <abrooks_> join #packetlife
[18:22] <buttons840> kinja-sheep, http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/   i think i can find all my answers here; thanks again for the help
[18:22] <Jowi> n0ah_, are they connected to a USB hub or directly to the computer?
[18:22] <n0ah_> Jowi, directly
[18:23] <tj_bisonhead> hi all
[18:24] <ritchje> nick125: it doesn't list applications :(
[18:24] <nick125> ritchje: Are there any applications playing audio at the moment?
[18:24] <Asad> Anybody here tried using PowerMizer of nvidia on ubuntu?
[18:24] <ritchje> Well i'm using Mangler (Ventrilo for linux)
[18:25] <kinja-sheep> buttons840: Hmm.
[18:25] <ritchje> nick125: Well i'm using Mangler (Ventrilo for linux), and it only seems to come up when someone talks
[18:25] <sumoduno> can you make cinelerra into a single window, instead of 4 different windows?
[18:25] <nick125> ritchje: That's...strange.
[18:25] <kinja-sheep> buttons840: The link is useful. Look up on "TimedLoginEnable"
[18:25] <ritchje> nick125: but i need to push the volume up past 100%
[18:25] <buttons840> kinja-sheep, i see that gdm.schema has the default custom.conf; i did have this file
[18:26] <dbruhn> exit
[18:27] <SealedWithAKiss> I am using a Live CD, how can I mount my Linux partition from the Live CD so that I can access the file system?
[18:27] <Elirips> hello. Is there something similar to windows-backup in ubuntu? I'm looking for something that needs to be configured once (what to backuup and where to) and then every week or so it pops up, asks the user the attach an extranal harddisk and backups whats defined.. any ideas?
[18:27] <kinja-sheep> SealedWithAKiss: sudo fdisk -l
[18:27] <kinja-sheep> SealedWithAKiss: It'll list the hardwares.
[18:27] <sumoduno> can you make cinelerra into a single window, instead of 4 different windows?
[18:28] <SealedWithAKiss> kinja-sheep, then to mount? In my case Linux is /dev/sda2
[18:29] <kinja-sheep> SealedWithAKiss: You then "sudo mkdir /media/White-Forest" to make a mount point. And "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/White-Forest" to mount.
[18:29] <dbruhn> list
[18:29] <PointMan> is it normal for ubuntu 8.04 LTS to terminate if it chokes by running out of memory?
[18:29] <nukeman8000> ok, can someone tell me what 'libmirage' is?
[18:29] <nukeman8000> i cant find it using the synaptic package manager or apt-cache search libmirage
[18:29] <bombel> (Ubuntu 9.10)  Hi, how do I disable my touchpad? It annoys me when i'm typing
[18:30] <Jowi> n0ah_, use "tail -f /var/log/messages" in a terminal. See if the computer register that the USB key has been inserted - that way we verify if the kernel or hardware is detecting it.
[18:30] <jrib> nukeman8000: why are you looking for it?
[18:30] <sumoduno> after i installed audacity, my mic stopped working. help

[18:31] <lanzelloth> hello
[18:31] <jrib> nukeman8000: what does cdemu do?
[18:31] <nukeman8000> 'configure' keeps asking for it
[18:31] <Supersonic> I'm trying to connect to a wireless network via the console
[18:31] <kinja-sheep> SealedWithAKiss: "sudo umount /media/White-Forest"

[18:31] <Supersonic> any ideas why?
[18:31] <nukeman8000> jrib: it is basicall daemon tools
[18:31] <jrib> nukeman8000: are you aware that mount does that and you don't need any special software?
[18:31] <jrib> !iso | nukeman8000
[18:32] <Supersonic> my full command is sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "myessid"
[18:32] <epinky> bombel: xinput list |grep -i touchpad
[18:32] <Supersonic> then sudo dhclient eth1
[18:32] <Supersonic> yet I don't get any internet
[18:32] <Supersonic> dhclient fails
[18:32] <nukeman8000> Jrib: yeah, but i want it to be a virtual drive,
[18:32] <kinja-sheep> nukeman8000: You should be able to right-click on the ISO and "Mount it"
[18:32] <jrib> nukeman8000: why?
[18:32] <Supersonic> anyone?
[18:32] <nukeman8000> jrib: and its not an iso, its a .mdf
[18:33] <nukeman8000> jrib: to install a game
[18:33] <jrib> nukeman8000: ubottu's link addresses that format
[18:33] <franco_> ciao
[18:33] <bombel> epinky, nothing came out
[18:33] <nukeman8000> either way, i ned it to be a virtual drive so i can install
[18:33] <kinja-sheep> nukeman8000: Install what? ;\
[18:33] <newbie005> can someone help me to use gdevilspie ?
[18:34] <nukeman8000> im trying to install a game
[18:34] <NotTooSmart> having trouble with encrypted swap on ubuntu 9.10 it works when it wants tooo...
[18:34] <epinky> bombel: try with "sudo xinput list |grep -i touchpad" , if nothing comes out, then I can't help you :(
[18:34] <SealedWithAKiss> When upgrading to GRUB2, GRUB2 doesn't remove the GRUB legacy configuration file just in case something goes wrong. Does anybody know where the old configuration file is located?
[18:35] <jrib> nukeman8000: not sure what you mean by "virtual drive" but you can mount it on /media/cdrom if that's what you want
[18:35] <bombel> epinky, again, nothing came out :) Thanks anyways
[18:35] <bombel> Can someone help me disable my touchpad ?
[18:36] <nukeman8000> jrib: a virual drive is where it is treated like a physical cd in the physical cd-drive but its just an iso or other disc image being mounted by some software
[18:36] <bombel> and after disable i also would like to be able to enable it :)
[18:36] <bombel> disable things is quit easy :) with a hammer
[18:36] <newbie005> bombel first step would be to get it recognized as a touchpad, currently it is a mouse
[18:36] <nukeman8000> jrib: does /media/cdrom do that?
[18:36] <nukeman8000> im still pretty new to this
[18:36] <bombel> newbie005, what should i do ?
[18:36] <kinja-sheep> nukeman8000: What game?
[18:37] <nukeman8000> half life
[18:37] <oCean__> bombel: system > prefs > mouse. Should be touchpad tab
[18:37] <nukeman8000> kinja sheep: half life
[18:38] <bombel> oCean__, there is nothing related to touchpad in syst > prefs > mouse :(
[18:38] <epinky> !touchpad | bombel to disable temporarily
[18:38] <kinja-sheep> nukeman8000: Half-Life-2?
[18:38] <oCean__> bombel: then your touchpad might be disabled in bios, or you have to boot using acpi=off noapic
[18:38] <nukeman8000> no, 1
[18:39] <nukeman8000> ]Kinja-sheep: no, half life 1

[18:43] <neezer> can I delete old log files from /var/log?
[18:43] <nukeman8000> kinja-sheep: ok thanks, and ik what wine is, so how do i download it?
[18:43] <maco> CryptIce7: hmm i need to learn about honeyd then. i wouldve thought an ip address was necessary to be connected to the network
[18:43] <giskard> info from alsa information script is here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=acf8ebc2a7cf59e9ef886dcbaca417f9f0baaa95
[18:43] <CryptIce7> oCean_: if you wanted to create a network sniffer without it being accessible with the ip.
[18:43] <maco> CryptIce7: i doubt this channel will be very helpful though
[18:43] <oCean_> neezer: they rotate, and eventually get deleted
[18:43] <neezer> there are a bunchof them with .gz at the end of them, and I assume they are old log files compressed to save room....can I get rid of these safely?
[18:43] <nukeman8000> kinja-sheep: the game, not wine
[18:43] <maco> neezer: yes you can
[18:44] <giskard> is there another irc channel for ubuntu audio problems or alsa/pulseaudio questions?

[18:44] <neezer> oCean_: thanks. Does that mean I don't really need to worry about getting rid of them.
[18:44] <kinja-sheep> nukeman8000: You have to have the game beforehand.
[18:44] <Vinky__> jrib, first thought was to copy it from my gentoobox, but then the question "why isnt this enabled by default" came up :-/
[18:44] <oCean_> neezer: indeed
[18:44] <ActionParsnip__> yo yo yo
[18:44] <maco> giskard: officially, no. unofficially, there's usually someone in #ubuntu-audio-help

[18:44] <giskard> thanks maco

[18:51] <Sapristi> Hi folks.I've configured my newly installed Karmic so that it automagically logs me in witihn 10 seconds from startup. The problem is that I still have to enter my password to get a wireless net-connection, since it
[18:51] <Sapristi> is behind a wep-password. How shuold i tweak the settings to get the net-connection autoamtically on,a s well?
[18:51] <ActionParsnip__> Sapristi: i suggest you use wicd if you only use wifi
[18:51] <snake_> http://pastebin.com/f45eb2f7c
[18:52] <angelo> has to be your PC, i have installed the same OS version to 6 computers and it hasn't gave me those problems
[18:52] <Sapristi> wicd...? What's that?
[18:52] <ActionParsnip__> !info wicd
[18:52] <neezer> oCean_: yeah. it is in the rsyslog....along with a few more. I guess I don't really have any intention of changing the settings, but from reading it, I think I'd like to learn a little more about the options. do you know any sites that explain them?
[18:52] <snake_> epinky, http://pastebin.com/f45eb2f7c
[18:53] <Sapristi> OK, fine. And that one rememebrs my wifi-password?
[18:53] <mmcf> hi, i got a question: is it normal for ubuntu to automatically clean up disk space? also deleting about 1 gb or even more?
[18:53] <dbruhn> any of you guys every do anything with hadoop or luster
[18:53] <epinky> snake_: which one is working realtek or broadcom?
[18:53] <snake_> epinky, I'm sorry I don't understand...
[18:54] <jfelt> Hail.
[18:54] <oCean_> neezer: "man logrotate" will give you a good idea
[18:54] <jfelt> I'm wondering if anyone has tried the Cloud option in Ubuntu 9.10 yet?
[18:54] <epinky> snake_: you've got 2 Ethernet Adapters, one's realtek and the other broadcom I suppose eth0 is functional, which one is it(eth0)?
[18:54] <snake_> epinky, on my last install i just went to wireless connections and chose my router but now w/ new install it doesn't even have my wireless
[18:54] <angelo> hi there, im kind of having trouble with my ubuntu 9.10 desktop OS, the desktop freezes when i open the other partition but not in the same moment, couple a minutes later it does that,  the partition is NTFS, is there an update for this?
[18:55] <ActionParsnip__> angelo: try having it automount using fstab
[18:55] <sayanriju> !repeat | angelo
[18:55] <snake_> i think broadcom
[18:55] <jfelt> broadcom wireless?
[18:56] <jfelt> Every time I reinstall, I have connect via wired and do apt-get update, apt-get upgrade before the driver will load.
[18:56] <angelo> automount?
[18:56] <angelo> the partition is already mounted
[18:56] <boogerman> I remember shortly after the release of 9.10 I heard a few complaints about instability, but I haven't heard anything since.  Was there a problem?  Is it gone?
[18:56] <jfelt> angelo: does it need to be?
[18:56] <snake_> eth1 is my wireless, eth0 is my wired but it won't detect my eth1
[18:56] <Leolo_3> question : hardy heron, the "user admin" tool doesn't allow me to add new users, even though it asks for a password when launched.  How do I activate this (for non-root user)
[18:56] <ActionParsnip__> snake_: sudo lshw -C network    will show you what it is
[18:57] <jfelt> snake_: dmesg | grep eth
[18:57] <Leolo_3> or rather : i have a non-root user that I would like to be able to add/change users
[18:57] <Leolo_3> via sudo or other
[18:57] <ActionParsnip__> Leolo_3: add it to the admin group
[18:57] <mezquitale> !usb
[18:57] <angelo> the problem is when i enter to the NTFS partition and can enter with no problem, but a few minutes later is start freezing the desktop, if I restart the pc and do not open the partition, the computer work fine in everything
[18:57] <Leolo_3> action : thanks
[18:58] <ActionParsnip__> Leolo_3: you shouldnt be using root anyway so all users will be non-root
[18:59] <angelo> well it needs to be because i got all my data in that partition, and is really big so i don't intend if  making a backup for creating a new partition for ubuntu
[18:59] <snake_> hello??

[19:00] <matelot> Any git user here ? isn't there supposed to be a .git folder ?
[19:00] <ActionParsnip__> snake_: does: sudo iwlist scan     show APs?

[19:01] <snake_> no it doesnt detect my wireless card ( eth1 )...
[19:01] <kinja-sheep> matelot: Right.
[19:01] <ActionParsnip__> snake_: if not, run: sudo lshw -C network      and websearch the relevant product name for guides
[19:01] <angelo> allright, it looks im in my own in this SH1T
[19:02] <matelot> kinja-sheep, I did git init bare, there's no ",git" folder ...what gives

[19:13] <ice_stone> is there somebody could help me with refresh rate thing in utunbu?
[19:13] <ice_stone> I really want to learn
[19:13] <infid> ice_stone: /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[19:13] <ice_stone> yes..
[19:13] <jrib> gp5st: it's not safe to mix debian and ubuntu repositories in general
[19:13] <ice_stone> because I want to set 1024x at 120hz
[19:14] <Roasted> Hey guys - Question - In Kubuntu I had trouble playing Amarok/YouTube at the same time. In Ubuntu I had the same problem, but ONLY with Amarok. Other programs work just fine. With Ubuntu having pulse audio, and Kubuntu not having it by default, would this be why Ubuntu worked better with sound? Ubuntu allowed other programs to work EXCEPT Amarok. Kubuntu didnn't - Kubuntu only allowed 1 at a time.
[19:14] <strywgr> whats a good equilent for windows movie maker?
[19:14] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: what is the output od: lspci | grep -i audio
[19:14] <gp5st> jrib: i know, but unless someone can point me to source i'm not sure how else to do it
[19:14] <Leolo_3> ** (users-admin:15847): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '15847'
[19:14] <infid> ice_stone:  i think it's 1024x768_120
[19:14] <jrib> gp5st: source of what?
[19:14] <nathan7> Roasted: hm, try checking your phonon settings
[19:14] <daftykins> Roasted: you might want to check the program's settings as to what driver/device it's sending audio to, and try forcing it to diff options such as pulse/ALSA/etc
[19:14] <ActionParsnip__> strywgr: kino or avidemux are 2 possible option
[19:14] <Roasted> where are phonon settings at?
[19:14] <Leolo_3> oh ha!
[19:14] <oCean_> Leolo_3: what changed since install?
[19:15] <gp5st> jrib: source of the packages in the unr repo
[19:15] <ice_stone> so all ido is edit it in and put in that in?
[19:15] <Leolo_3> ocean : nothing that I know of
[19:15] <Roasted> daftykins - but why would this happen? Any idea why Ubuntu would handle it better than Kubuntu?
[19:15] <Leolo_3> ok, if I run users-admin as non-root, w/o sudo, I don't get the warning and I have somethings non-greyed out
[19:15] <ice_stone> but xconfg won't let me save it
[19:15] <Roasted> It's frustrating to have a new install and you have a simple thing like audio programs interfering. It was enough for me to drop Kubuntu and come back to Ubuntu.
[19:15] <jrib> gp5st: worst case scenario, I'm sure you can use the deb-src line for the repo.  Does unr not have some homepage?
[19:16] <oCean_> Leolo_3: don't run gui apps using sudo, use "gksudo"
[19:16] <daftykins> Roasted: well amarok is a more KDE app as far as i know so it might not be tweaked just right, not sure
[19:16] <guntbert> ice_stone: star
[19:16] <infid> ice_stone: no, well it'd go in the Section "Screen" as like "Option "metamodes" "CRT" or "DFP", etc. you should try finding an example xorg.conf somewhere and editing it or using a GUI tool like nvidia-settings if you have an nvidia
[19:16] <ActionParsnip__> daftykins: well it uses qt libs
[19:16] <jrib> gp5st: also, why not just use unr?
[19:16] <ice_stone> i have nvidia
[19:16] <ice_stone> but it won't let me go get 120hz
[19:16] <ice_stone> all i get is limited refreshes
[19:16] <Andy14> nvidia ftw :P
[19:16] <infid> ice_stone: are you sure your monitor supports 120hz
[19:17] <ice_stone> i want to set each resolution with their own refresh
[19:17] <guntbert> ice_stone: start xconfig with gksudo/sudo?
[19:17] <ActionParsnip__> Andy14: +1
[19:17] <ice_stone> yes I'm sure
[19:17] <gp5st> jrib: this is on an xo and using the debxo distro seemed simpler; everything works, this is just a nicety
[19:17] <ice_stone> this is so annoying i would like to learn
[19:17] <infid> ice_stone: then iw ould have nvidia create the xorg.conf file, then edit it manually. just make sure you run nvidia-settings and vim xorg.conf as sudo
[19:17] <ice_stone> what is sudo all about?
[19:17] <infid> alt+f2 then type 'gksudo nvidia-settings'
[19:17] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: have you ran: gksudo jockey-gtk     ?
[19:18] <gp5st> jrib: i think i found the source
[19:18] <gp5st> sorry it's been a stupid day:(
[19:18] <infid> ice_stone: running as the admin so you have write permissions
[19:18] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: its a way for special users to run admin apps
[19:18] <SealedWithAKiss> Is there a way to mount a Linux partition from a Live CD, and then execute commands as though you were actually booted into and using that partition?
[19:18] <guntbert> !sudo | ice_stone
[19:18] <jrib> gp5st: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR lists some main packages which I'm willing to bet are mostly already in debian repositorie
[19:18] <Leolo_3> ok, next question :-)
[19:18] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: unlike windows which stupidly sets up the default user as an admin, ubuntu sets up a true user with special accesses
[19:18] <Leolo_3> I created a user with users-admin, but that user isn't showing up in system-config-samba when I want to grant access to only that user...
[19:18] <erUSUL> SealedWithAKiss: yu can chroot to that parition if that parition has minimal support to look like a real rootfs
[19:19] <guntbert> SealedWithAKiss: you are looking for chroot
[19:19] <jMyles> How does one *completely* remove a package and everything associated with it in order to install it again?
[19:20] <erUSUL> jMyles: purge
[19:20] <sybariten> jMyles: hm.... apt-get remove isnt enough?
[19:20] <dupondje> jMyles: aptitude purge package
[19:20] <dupondje> :)
[19:20] <ActionParsnip__> jMyles: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[19:20] <erUSUL> jMyles: also you may want to remove the configuration folder in your home if any
[19:20] <tonsofpcs> so on boot i'm getting X crashes, followed by "The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on.  Waiting for 2 minutes before trying again on display :0."
[19:20] <tonsofpcs> Sound fun?
[19:20] <jMyles> erUSUL, sybariten: But even with purge, if there are directories and .conf files that I want to be re-written, they aren't
[19:20] <consolecowboy> i have a (crappy) camara, omnivision OV519. It works with Cheese, and audacity can record about half a second of sound with it. cant use it with skype. any way to fix this?
[19:21] <sybariten> jMyles: Oh
[19:21] <erUSUL> jMyles: as i said. conf files in your home are not touched
[19:21] <SealedWithAKiss> guntbert, so I could chroot into the partition and then execute sudo apt-get remove grub2 for instance?
[19:21] <daftykins> tonsofpcs: what just changed? or is it a new install?
[19:21] <sybariten> jMyles: well, there is, believe it or not, an apt channel
[19:21] <erUSUL> SealedWithAKiss: yes
[19:21] <jMyles> erUSUL: Not in home, but for example, /etc/something.conf
[19:21] <ActionParsnip__> consolecowboy: see what module it uses then see if their is a newer version
[19:21] <Leolo_3> oh feh, i have to add the user to samba...
[19:21] <tonsofpcs> daftykins: i forget... i haven't touched it in about 2 months because this happened... i think it may have been an X package update
[19:21] <consolecowboy> how would i go about doing that?
[19:21] <erUSUL> jMyles: with purge that file should be removed with the package afaik
[19:21] <panzer> got a bit of a mount problem.  fstab is still the same but the secondary harddrive shows as busy when doing mount
[19:21] <daftykins> tonsofpcs: you tried fully updating the system at command line login, on a TTY?
[19:22] <ActionParsnip__> panzer: you can see what is mounted with: mount
[19:22] <erUSUL> !chroot
[19:22] <ChaoticXSinZ> Anyone mind helping me out with something.
[19:22] <daftykins> !ask | ChaoticXSinZ
[19:22] <panzer> ActionParsnip__: yes it is not mounted
[19:22] <SealedWithAKiss> erUSUL, Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)  - what does this mean?
[19:23] <consolecowboy> ActionParsnip__: how would i check what module the cam uses?
[19:23] <ActionParsnip__> panzer: then try to mount it at command line
[19:23] <ChaoticXSinZ> I want to be able to hear audio from my default X session once I have started another. (e.g "X :3 -ac -terminate")
[19:23] <ActionParsnip__> consolecowboy: lsmod | less    will show you te loaded modules
[19:23] <jMyles> erUSUL, sybariten, ActionParsnip__, dupondje: It's not actually the removal I'm concerned about, but the re-installation.  I want to know how to restore a program to its default state, as if I had just installed the package.  I've often wondered this.  There must be an easier way than going to another ubuntu computer, installing the package in question, and copying the files.
[19:23] <erUSUL> SealedWithAKiss: you need to make aviable the dev proc and sys filesystems to the chroot prior to actually chroot
[19:23] <ChaoticXSinZ> Is there some way to setup pulseaudio to do that?
[19:23] <panzer> ActionParsnip__: mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /media/320gig/ fails cause already mounted or busy
[19:23] <guntbert> SealedWithAKiss: see http://www.nistor.co.uk/2009/12/chroot-into-ubuntu-from-debian/
[19:24] <ActionParsnip__> panzer: is your pwd /media/320gig    ?
[19:24] <erUSUL> SealedWithAKiss: easy do for the three dirs this « sudo mount --bind /sys/ /munted/rootfs/ » (do the same with dev/ and /proc/
[19:24] <SealedWithAKiss> erUSUL, so I have to do mount /dev/proc mount dev/sys?
[19:24] <panzer> neg
[19:24] <dupondje> jMyles: there is some --force-conf
[19:24] <dupondje> or so
[19:24] <dupondje> that resets the configs also
[19:24] <erUSUL> SealedWithAKiss: after dsoing it you can do the chroot « sudo chroot /mounted/rootfs/ »
[19:24] <ActionParsnip__> jMyles: the purge will remove all, you will then need to remove the config from $HOME
[19:25] <panzer> ActionParsnip__: I really don't know if this helps but rhythmbox dumped.  and I have apt-get removed that
[19:25] <wolter> how can i check where a symbolic link links to?
[19:25] <tonsofpcs> daftykins: that's what i'm about to try.  wasn't really looking for help, just laughing ;)
[19:25] <gdiz> I have two questions for you all:  does anyone know if someone has figured out how to put music on an ipod touch 3.0 firmware without jailbreaking.   Also, does anyone happen to know if MPD can also server music via daap.
[19:25] <Leolo_3> yah!  that should be all.  Thank you all you helpful folks
[19:25] <erUSUL> wolter: ls -l shows it
[19:25] <wolter> thanks erUSUL
[19:26] <ChaoticXSinZ> So is it possible? Can I hear audio from one x server in another?
[19:26] <n16h7f0x> h
[19:26] <panzer> ActionParsnip__: if I create say /media/320gig1/ I am still getting the same error when I try to mount
[19:26] <daftykins> tonsofpcs: ah ok :) i'll leave you to it then!
[19:26] <erUSUL> SealedWithAKiss: sorry the command i gave you earlier had a typo...
[19:27] <jrib> ChaoticXSinZ: you can do that with pulseaudio, don't ask me how.  You probably want to check the official documentation for pulseaudio
[19:27] <Jeniczek> hi there
[19:27] <ChaoticXSinZ> jrib: Thanks, I'll try that.
[19:27] <Pede> can anybody help me, my wifi doesn't work.. It cant detect it?
[19:27] <erUSUL> SealedWithAKiss: is « sudo mount --bind /sys/ /munted/rootfs/sys/ » the same for /proc/ and /dev/ (doing the proper sustitution on both arguments)
[19:27] <Jeniczek> Guyz am having serious problem with installation of ubuntu server. Anybody willing to help me please?

[19:28] <Guest94538> anyone got any experience with aircrack-ng ? I cant get it to work..
[19:28] <ActionParsnip__> Pede: run: sudo lshw -C network      you will see your wireless device name listed, you can then websearch that fo rguides

[19:28] <Out_Cold> I can't for the life of me turn off password identification for my ssh... I edited both the ssh_config and sshd_config and changed passwordauthenticate no and use pam no..... any other ideas??
[19:29] <blakkheim> Out_Cold: pastebin the /etc/ssh/sshd_config of the SERVER please
[19:29] <Guest94538> blakkheim, thnx
[19:29] <Out_Cold> Guest94538, depends on what you want it to do
[19:29] <jrib> Out_Cold: restart the server?
[19:29] <Out_Cold> jrib, did and blakkheim one sec ;)
[19:29] <Tr1n> Out_Cold: exchange keys and load into ssh-agent
[19:29] <Jeniczek> I have a Fujitsu RX300S4 server with 4 SAS drives. Both of the drives are put into 2 mirror RAIDS. During installation, I do partition the first RAID to / , swap and /home and the second RAID to /var . After successful install the server reboots and then all it says during boot is Fatal protection error at 0000:0000
[19:29] <Pici> Mjateznik: Thats not an official variant of Ubuntu, so you'll need to try their support channel in #opengeu or see http://opengeu.intilinux.com/support for more options
[19:30] <Pede> ActionParsnip: I did, en its a cisco aironet 802.11b
[19:31] <Jeniczek> I have tried to Low level format all hardrives, so its not an MBR issue.. Or at least doesnt looks so... The GRUB installation during the ubuntu install didnt said any error. The whole installation went fine.. But am unable to boot it...
[19:31] <ActionParsnip__> Pede: then websearch that for guides, you may need to use ndisgtk
[19:31] <Out_Cold> blakkheim, ssh_config first, sshd_config second: http://pastebin.com/m6386719e
[19:31] <Jeniczek> any ideas what could be wrong?
[19:32] <Pede> Actionparsnip: i already tried that.. But i cant figure out those guides?
[19:32] <Out_Cold> blakkheim, i have keys installed and they do work..
[19:32] <ActionParsnip__> Pede: then i'd go for ndisgtk + windows driver for simplicity. Some cards cannot use wpa using ndisgtk
[19:33] <Pede> Actionparsnip: thanks.. I will try that... where can i find it?
[19:33] <Pede> terminal?
[19:33] <llutz> Out_Cold: line 104? #PasswordAuthentication no
[19:34] <Out_Cold> llutz, no hash?? i seem to be confused on this point
[19:34] <ActionParsnip__> !info ndisgtk
[19:34] <blakkheim> llutz: he pasted the ssh_config, it's of no use (and almost everything is commented out)
[19:34] <Jeniczek> jrib or anyone?
[19:34] <llutz> blakkheim: look again, sshd_conf below
[19:34] <Out_Cold> blakkheim, i had it commented and uncommented
[19:34] <ice_stone> why it won't let me save xorg.conf?

[19:35] <ice_stone> it said that i don't have the permissions necessary to save the file

[19:40] <trijntje> ice_stone, did you use gksu?
[19:40] <ChogyDan> !puregnome | CAPcap maybe this
[19:40] <Kentrel> I used etherreal to monitor the connection and there was a lot of RAW audio data goig to a particular IP
[19:40] <Out_Cold> blakkheim, llutz, worked like magic... thanks guys
[19:40] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: then write the setting to xorg.conf then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   and edit the file manually
[19:40] <brad[werk]> [NL]Tjibba: Dang.
[19:40] <ice_stone> oh okay looks good
[19:40] <brad[werk]> Also is it possible to change the brown animation that is used during login under Karmic?
[19:40] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: you cannot edit the file as you as its not owned by you so you must use gksudo to run gedit with elevated access

[19:45] <Pixar> Hey, should I use Deluge in gnome instead of ktorrent? since ktorrent is made for kde, i should get better performance if i'm seeding like ~200 permanent torrents, right?
[19:45] <brad[werk]> Pixar: Not necessarily
[19:45] <ActionParsnip__> Pixar: they will run equally well
[19:45] <sca> sry
[19:45] <Pixar> I'm looking for best performance
[19:45] <brad[werk]> Pixar: Transmission is a really nice, efficient bittorrent client for use in GNOME as well, I've found it has excellent performance
[19:46] <Rubbberducky> Im trying to get my sound to work.  I have a realtek alc889a  audio codec on my motherboard.  What should I do?
[19:46] <Pixar> Allright, thanks
[19:46] <erUSUL> Pixar: well deluge has a server mode where you can detach the gui and shut it dwon while the torrents are still alive
[19:46] <brad[werk]> Not specific to GNOME, but it's a GTK based application etc
[19:46] <ChogyDan> Pixar: I like deluge the best, but I've heard that tranmission has the best performance
[19:46] <Tr1n> Pixar:  You can run deluge as a daemon, so that is probably what you are looking for
[19:46] <Pixar> Nope
[19:46] <Pixar> not looking for daemon
[19:46] <erUSUL> Pixar: so probably you get better performance for not having to run the gui code
[19:46] <erUSUL> Pixar: all the time
[19:46] <Jeniczek> so noone running ubuntu server with 2 RAIDs?
[19:47] <Jeniczek> thats a bit strange .....
[19:47] <ActionParsnip__> Pixar: kde ones may use more resources, transmission is decent and has a web interface too :D
[19:47] <ActionParsnip__> Jeniczek: try asking in: #ubuntu-server
[19:47] <Pixar> K, then i'm going with deluge since i didn't liked transmission last time i've tested it

[19:55] <ActionParsnip__> saxin: is your ubuntu 64bit?
[19:55] <strider24> ikkerus: no ascii graph in it.
[19:55] <Out_Cold> fanno, you possibly need to add it to the .rclocal but unfortunately my lunch break is over :p
[19:55] <saxin> ActionParsnip__: Yes.
[19:56] <ActionParsnip__> saxin: could try the 64bit plugin, copy the .so from the tar.gz to ~/.mozilla/plugins    you will nee dto remove the current flash packages to avoid conflicts
[19:56] <SealedWithAKiss> ChogyDan, okay then. So if I chroot from a LiveCD into my Karmic partition, and run sudo apt-get remove grub2, GRUB2 will automatically be removed from my separate boot partition? I have tried that, and it hasn't worked. I need to revert back to GRUB1.
[19:56] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip__, no i have the essid listed in /etc/ wpa-supplicant.conf
[19:56] <Rubbberducky> Im trying to get my sound to work.  I have a realtek alc889a  audio codec on my motherboard.  What should I do?  I cant find drivers anywhere.
[19:56] <ActionParsnip__> BluesKaj: does it connect if you have it unsecured?
[19:56] <fanno> anyone know what he meant ? (20:54:56) Out_Cold: fanno, you possibly need to add it to the .rclocal but unfortunately my lunch break is over :p
[19:57] <ActionParsnip__> Rubbberducky: run: lspci | grep -i audio
[19:57] <saxin> ActionParsnip__: You know if it will work?
[19:57] <ActionParsnip__> Rubbberducky: then websearch the output
[19:57] <isaac_> the config changed but i rebooted my computer and it changed resolution but won't go to 120hz!
[19:57] <ActionParsnip__> saxin: it will help as its native rather than via nspluginwrapper
[19:57] <isaac_> why there is NO 120hz for 800x600 or 1024x768 why why?
[19:57] <ChogyDan> SealedWithAKiss: yeah, remove the package so it doesn't get installed in the future, but just install grub1 over it
[19:57] <ActionParsnip__> isaac_: there is if you define it in xorg.conf
[19:58] <chopin> folks, for whatever reason i can't use the built-in wireless tool but iwconfig and dhclient work well.  is there a "better" or "best" wireless GUI available besides the one that comes with standard install (9.10)?
[19:58] <isaac_> i did put in "Option         "metamodes" "1024x768_120 +0+0""
[19:58] <SealedWithAKiss> ChogyDan, that's what I have done. However the GRUB2 bootloader is still being used.
[19:58] <isaac_> and its still is like that in there
[19:58] <adam_> hey guys simple question, i just installed a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10. how do i install kde?
[19:58] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip__, i haven't tried unsecured , don't think i will try either
[19:58] <Rubbberducky> ActionParsnip: What do I do with that information?
[19:59] <isaac_> I want to be able to switch 1024x768 at 120hz then switch to 1600x1200 at 85 hz whenever i want to
[19:59] <Burn> hello, I've got problems with my ATI 5750 running the 9.12 drivers, after 5 to 10 minutes my screen turns grey
[19:59] <guntbert> adam_: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[19:59] <Burn> has somebody seen the same problem?
[19:59] <adam_> guntbert, will that install all of the libs etc?
[19:59] <ChogyDan> SealedWithAKiss: you probably arent installing grub correctly
[20:00] <brontos> good day all.  Have you guys seen where if I mount a windows shared in nautilus usign smb://ip/share/ it works but if I mount in command line using mount -t cifs only root can write to files?
[20:00] <ActionParsnip__> BluesKaj: well if it works unsecured, you know its the security at fault
[20:00] <hallowname> meh. ubuntu doesnt see my ethernet card :[
[20:00] <strywgr> I think in 9.10, you can choose the enviornment before logging in. adam.
[20:00] <guntbert> !kde | adam_ if I read correctly - yes
[20:00] <SealedWithAKiss> ChogyDan, how do I go about installing GRUB? Is apt-get install grub sufficient?
[20:00] <ActionParsnip__> Burn: install openssh-server   when it goes grey, ssh in and view the kernel logs
[20:00] <adam_> guntbert, thanks!
[20:00] <Burn> ActionParsnip__: sometimes the whole PC crashes
[20:00] <ActionParsnip__> hallowname: run: sudo lshw -C network     you will see the product name which you can then websearch for
[20:00] <guntbert> adam_: have fun :)
[20:01] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip__, the Belkin router that the USB adapter connects to is across the street in a neighbours house :)
[20:01] <isaac_> ActionParsnip__, did you get my last message?
[20:01] <ActionParsnip__> isaac_: add the right data to xorg.confand it will be used
[20:01] <ActionParsnip__> isaac_: my client is configured to block PMs
[20:01] <isaac_> ActionParsnip__, is my data wrong?
[20:02] <ActionParsnip__> isaac_: well if its not doing it then most likely yes
[20:02] <isaac_> ActionParsnip__, my line is Option         "metamodes" "1024x768_120 +0+0"
[20:02] <isaac_> ActionParsnip__, then what should i do?
[20:02] <strider24> hey, anyone know of a commandline bandwidth tool with real time ascii graph?
[20:02] <chopin> sorry for the repost ... not sure if i disconnected or what.  what is the "best" wireless GUI to use?  Seems the built-in package with 9.10 doesn't work for me but iwconfig / iwlist / dhclient are working manually for now.
[20:03] <llutz> strider24: iftop?
[20:03] <bullgard> Why does Ubuntu Karmic provide no packages for FreeNX?
[20:03] <ActionParsnip__> isaac_: do you have refresh rates defined in the monitor section?
[20:03] <ActionParsnip__> !info freenx
[20:03] <ActionParsnip__> !freenx
[20:04] <strider24> llutz: iftop is good, thanks.
[20:04] <isaac_> ActionParsnip__, I don't think so but my monitor supports 120hz at 1024x768 for sure
[20:04] <ActionParsnip__> bullgard: the guide shows how to add the freenx ppa
[20:04] <ActionParsnip__> isaac_: it could do 2000Mhz if the file is not configured right it wont do it
[20:05] <isaac_> ActionParsnip__, there is no 120hz in nvidia setting so thats why i wanted to edit it in so i have 120hz in my 1024x768
[20:05] <isaac_> ActionParsnip__, so what exactly should I do?
[20:05] <ActionParsnip__> isaac_: then you will need to sidestep nvidia-settings
[20:05] <ActionParsnip__> isaac_: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-95357.html   has a monitor section you can use
[20:06] <ActionParsnip__> isaac_: you can websearc round for xorg.conf examples to get the settings you want.
[20:06] <isaac_> ActionParsnip__, okay i'm doing that now
[20:08] <isaac_> ActionParsnip__, is it like getting right driver for the monitor than using default refresh?
[20:08] <pepperspray> 79724
[20:09] <ActionParsnip__> isaac_: you have the right driver, you just need to give it better settings
[20:09] <Zeffr> hello everyone, I am new to linux and was wondering if anyone could help me compile some code?
[20:09] <ActionParsnip__> !compile | Zeffr
[20:09] <SealedWithAKiss> How do I completely remove GRUB2?  I've a real big problem. By some unknown event my system was not only blocked but could not start again. Apparently some important files were corrupted.
[20:12] <CAPcap> I'm having problems with OpenGl things not running i keep getting Sementation fault is there anyway to re-install/repair OpenGl without reinstalling ubuntu?
[20:12] <ActionParsnip__> SealedWithAKiss: run software center and search for grub, you can then uninstall those packages
[20:12] <ActionParsnip__> CAPcap: reinstall video drivers should help
[20:13] <CAPcap> how do i do that
[20:13] <joep> system is AMD64 with ubunty HARDY (8.04). I have started with an USB-stick with HArdy. I wonder if it is possible to reinstall ubuntu and replace the corrupted files.
[20:13] <joep> HAs anybody an idea??
[20:14] <gadget3000> CAPcap: NVIDIA card?
[20:14] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip__, I can't run software center. I'm chrooted into the partition.
[20:14] <CAPcap> ATi Mobility Radeon 9000
[20:15] <ActionParsnip__> SealedWithAKiss: then run: dpkg -l | grep grub
[20:15] <mzuverink> upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10, cd/dvd writer worked fine in 9.04 now it does not work at all, installed from the drive, at reboot died and wont even read disc in drive now, any ideas?
[20:15] <Mr_Giraffe> hey, does anybody here know how to set the size of a maximized window? I'm trying to have a sidebar that's always on the screen and maximizing would obviously cover that up
[20:15] <ActionParsnip__> CAPcap: the open driver will do you fine, you can use xorg.conf to force resolution / driver / refresh rates
[20:15] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip__, PM?
[20:15] <ActionParsnip__> SealedWithAKiss: remove the packages it finds
[20:16] <bullgard> ActionParsnip__: Thank you very much for your help.

[20:17] <Yarcanox> I want (or let's say I must) use SASL for the postfix smtpd
[20:17] <Yarcanox> now the docs say I need to create /usr/local/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf
[20:17] <ActionParsnip__> SealedWithAKiss: those are the grub packages to remove, you could also remove it from the MBR but I amnot sure how
[20:17] <Yarcanox> anyway, that folder is not there. is that folder at a different place on ubuntu?
[20:18] <mkanyicy> joep, how did your files get corrupted and how do you know that they are corrupted?

[20:19] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip__, it's not removing the boot loader. It's on a separate boot partition.
[20:20] <joep> mkanyicy, Thanks for your reply. Well, when starting the logo comes up -or otherwise a lot of txt flies over the screen) and then comes the message:" not avialble kernel panic!! and then the cpas and scroll lights start blinking and the system is dead.sbin/init
[20:20] <mkanyicy> Supersonic, did you configure authentication ?
[20:20] <ActionParsnip__> SealedWithAKiss: not sure then duder
[20:20] <Yarcanox> thanks llutz
[20:20] <Yarcanox> may I also ask how it is possible to blacklist or preferrably whitelist users allowed for smtp login?
[20:20] <Mr_Giraffe> anybody here experienced with compiz?
[20:21] <ActionParsnip__> Mr_Giraffe: i'd ask in #compiz
[20:21] <isaac_> anybody read me? i pasted by accident, i hope i'm not banned
[20:21] <Mr_Giraffe> ActionParsnip__, a good idea, but I'm not sure if this is necessarily a compiz question
[20:21] <Mr_Giraffe> I'll try it though!
[20:21] <mkanyicy> joep, what did you do then? did you upgrade or install a new package or changed something?
[20:22] <isaac_> brb reboot
[20:22] <joep> Mr_Giraffe, I have had a lot of trouble with it. It's a resource hog. My experience is to get rid of it as soon as possible. This goes for hartdy. I have KArmic and there compiz is not automatically installed.
[20:22] <idea4gud> hi all! I have dual OS with XP+Ubuntu and now my XP s messep up
[20:22] <Mr_Giraffe> joep, I'm actually not having any problems with it
[20:22] <blakkheim> idea4gud: this is normal
[20:22] <mkanyicy> Mr_Giraffe, how come you ask about compiz experience when you are not sure you will ask a compiz question or not?
[20:23] <llutz> Yarcanox: not sure, read about "check_sender_access"
[20:23] <guntbert> SealedWithAKiss: try and mount the boot partition within the chroot
[20:23] <Mr_Giraffe> mkanyicy, I'm fairly certain it's a compiz thing I'm trying to tweak, but not 100%
[20:23] <Mr_Giraffe> just trying to figure out how to set the maximum size of a maximized window
[20:23] <mkanyicy> Mr_Giraffe, what is it?
[20:23] <jhana> what is it doing, idea
[20:23] <idea4gud> I dont wanna rui y ubuntu whn i run recovery disk
[20:23] <matelot> Ia bazaar suitable for personal use ?
[20:23] <Mr_Giraffe> mkanyicy, see above
[20:23] <mkanyicy> Mr_Giraffe, first, can you do that when compiz is turned off?
[20:23] <joep> mkanyicy, No! I first restarted with another kernel but that was Fedora. All other ubuntu's on that disk were either not reachable or gave t he same error.
[20:24] <Yarcanox> llutz: I put that smtp.conf in place, also activated sasl auth in main.cf but still, everytime I try to login using a valid user it denies access and says it's a wrong password/login info
[20:24] <Yarcanox> :<
[20:24] <Mr_Giraffe> mkanyicy, I'm not really sure...that's the main issue
[20:24] <x_> i cant log n with skype .. i use ubuntu 9.10
[20:24] <n3toa> Hi all! i am having problems with video resolution in ubuntu 9.10 can anyone help me?
[20:24] <thunda> Can anyone help me with installing gtk+?
[20:24] <Boobek> matelot, yes..
[20:24] <CAPcap> How do I reinstall the open drivers? i think something is corrupted in them?
[20:24] <Boobek> I use it
[20:24] <Yarcanox> llutz: sorry, *smtpd.conf
[20:24] <Mr_Giraffe> mkanyicy, I'm assuming it can be done considering things like docky and AWN do just that
[20:24] <Mr_Giraffe> but I'm not sure how they do it
[20:24] <fanno> i have a strange problem. apache won't start when my webserver starts. there are no error in apache log or in system log .. and apache is located in the runlevel folder ... anyone have any idea what i need to look at/for ohh and if i start the server manualy it runs just fine
[20:25] <Darkedge> I get: http://dpaste.com/147094/ when trying to full-upgrade with aptitude, how can I just sort it out without 100 diffrent questions?
[20:25] <joep> I restarted with an USB-stick with Hardy - that's running now on that system - and I anmonow on my karmic system. Both system are on a KVM so switching is only 2 clicks away.
[20:25] <jhana> fanno, is the script a link in your runlevel, or is it the actual script file?
[20:25] <mkanyicy> Mr_Giraffe, yes, AWN are the ones that push windows away from them, you should as well make your sidebar push a maximized window away and not allow it to get underneath or above it
[20:25] <idea4gud> jhana: When i run Recover disk XP, it just shows C partition and Windows Recovery partition doesnt show Ubunu SO I am afraid WIl it ruin Ubuntu if run
[20:25] <fanno> jhana how do i check that ?
[20:25] <jonte> Hey. what was that ubuntu version optimized for virtual machines called?
[20:25] <jonte> Really slim CLI..
[20:26] <jhana> fanno, ls -l in a terminal window
[20:26] <Mr_Giraffe> mkanyicy, what I'm trying to do is set this up so maximized windows don't overlap with conky. do you know of any way to do that in compiz, metacity, or really anything at all?
[20:26] <jhana> idea, does it show a unknown partition?
[20:26] <matelot> Boobek, I don't have "project" per se, what I want to use bzr for is to track changes to text files here and there,...you know, like config files etc...is bazaar good for this ?
[20:26] <idea4gud> No
[20:26] <mkanyicy> joep, are you on fedora now?
[20:26] <idea4gud> C H I
[20:26] <mkanyicy> joep, how many hard drives are you having?
[20:26] <Supersonic> mkanyicy: its public wifi
[20:26] <phong_> hi guys
[20:26] <isaac_> is there monitor refresh setting other beside xconf?
[20:27] <idea4gud> I think I it refers unknown
[20:27] <fanno> jhana: http://pastebin.com/m11f35574
[20:27] <CAPcap> How do I reinstall the open drivers? i think something is corrupted in them?
[20:27] <Supersonic> mkanyicy: no auth needed
[20:27] <joep> mkanyicy, I have the hard disk now on my USB-stick ubuntu visible in Gparted. I can mount the partitions so I presume the disk is OK.
[20:27] <llutz> Yarcanox: you added your user to  smtp_sasl_password_maps ?
[20:27] <spencer_> this thing is godly!...it reminds me of numb3rs XD
[20:27] <Yarcanox> llutz: hum no? I assumed it would use normal unix system users?
[20:27] <mkanyicy> Supersonic, im not sure about the dhcp and wifi, can you make a dry run buy using a static IP?
[20:27] <Yarcanox> also your link doesn't mention that or I must have missed it
[20:27] <eltume> how do i evoke the firefox profile manager
[20:28] <thunda> Is there an apt-get command to install the TIFF libraries?
[20:28] <joep> mkanyicy, I have on that system 2 IDE-drives and one serial (in total 3).
[20:28] <Supersonic> mkanyicy: I don't think so, not on this network
[20:28] <phong_> i have a question: when i do a  'make'  can i make it into a package so i can install them later on the same machine, so that i dont have to recompile everytime i do new ubuntu installation
[20:29] <jhana> fanno, when you start apache, do you use /etc/init.d/apache2 start or another command?
[20:29] <phong_> will 'make' turn into program?
[20:29] <jonte> for reference: found it, it's called JeOS
[20:29] <maco> phong_: you can use "sudo checkinstall" instead of "sudo make install" *but* be aware it wont be a perfectly clean deb and so will have a chance of not working elsewhere
[20:29] <CAPcap>  How do I reinstall the open drivers? i think something is corrupted in them? seriously need some help here
[20:29] <fanno> jhana: i use sudo apache2ctl graceful
[20:29] <mkanyicy> joep, I am confused, i dont I don't know where does the USB stick ubuntu fits in in the whole picture, and how your 3 hard drives are being used.
[20:29] <blakkheim> !info checkinstall > phong_
[20:29] <phong_> maci, i would only install on same machine
[20:29] <maco> phong_: alternative is to file a bug asking that the software you want be packaged for ubuntu so you can just apt-get it later
[20:30] <joep> mkanyicy, For your information: I did a cmp between the /sbin/init on my USB-stick and the init in the mounted partition. Actually linux makes a mess of naming disks.
[20:30] <taofd> is there a command i can use to delete all files matching "name" recursively?
[20:30] <mkanyicy> joep, use UUID
[20:30] <jhana> try the /etc/init.d/apache2 start and see if it errors (or try /etc/init.d/apache2 restart if apache is already up) as that is the exact line that init will attempt
[20:30] <mkanyicy> joep, use UUID's
[20:30] <maco> phong_: but if you dont have the same stuff you built it against intalled, like if you were installing the deb later after a reinstall, it could be a problem, so just be careful
[20:30] <joep> mkanyicy, I'm sorry that I'm not clear. I give my configuration
[20:30] <phong_> i see
[20:30] <Condoulo> is there any way I can configure the wallpaper to be cloned between the two monitors instead of stretching?
[20:30] <Yarcanox> llutz: I am not even sure whether postfix is running in a chroot
[20:30] <Yarcanox> does it do that per default?
[20:31] <mtb-cliff> ?Samba issue - i just completed applying some updates - and now I can't login in to my dns-323 fileserver - it rejects the password - it may be sending the incorrect user as I can log in to it from windows
[20:31] <isaac_> could somebody be kind to help me how to set hz for each resolution?
[20:31] <Condoulo> or even better, is there a way I can configure each monitor to have its own background
[20:31] <mkanyicy> joep, which system are you logged into now?
[20:31] <Pici> taofd: find /some/path -name "name" -exec rm {} \;      (I suggest replacing rm with echo before you do the command to make sure you get the right files)
[20:31] <maco> !clone | phong_
[20:31] <llutz> Yarcanox: grep ^smtp /etc/postfix/master.cf
[20:31] <thunda> I'm trying to install gtk+ and get an error that says I need the TIFF library. I tried apt-get and there's no libtiff.
[20:32] <maco> phong_: if you do that ^ you can at least be reasonably sure that what you compiled against is the same
[20:32] <mtb-cliff> how can I see which updates were applied
[20:32] <Yarcanox> llutz: smtp      inet  n       -       -       -       -       smtpd
[20:32] <llutz> Yarcanox: no chroot
[20:32] <Yarcanox> llutz: so I also want to run sasl in no chroot then I guess?
[20:32] <x_> HELP WITH SKYPE ? i cant access due to p2p connection failure now what?
[20:32] <idea4gud> If i run XP reocvery disk wil it damage my Ubuntu partition
[20:32] <phong_> maco, i have not a clue what u're saying , im sorry
[20:33] <mkanyicy> joep, can you pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst as well as your /etc/fstab of the ubuntu that cannot boot up? you will need to first mount that partition before accessing those files
[20:33] <llutz> Yarcanox: yes
[20:33] <joep> A; 2 systems: the corruptes system is an AMD 3000 (1 processor) with 3 internal diskdrives (2 IDE and one serial). Also an external USB hard disk is connected and an USb stick with Ubuntu 8.04 which is the running ubuntu system.
[20:33] <dupondje> somebody knows how to speedtest a share? tried 'dd if=/dev/random of=/share/file sb=1M count=1000' but that doesn't seem to work :s
[20:33] <llutz> Yarcanox:  smtp      inet  n       -       y       -       -       smtpd                 <- would be chroot
[20:33] <Hilikus> whats the difference between user and users in fstab?
[20:33] <meganerd> idea4gud: it probably won't touch the ubuntu partition but it will likely overwrite the MBR so grub won't run a boot
[20:33] <maco> phong_: i'm not sure that the deb made by checkinstall will know to tell you "by the way, i depend on x, y, and z, so install those first" so i'm suggesting that you use what ubottu just told you if you do a reinstall, that way you at least know the dependencies are there
[20:34] <Darkedge> Guys? -_-
[20:34] <maco> phong_: besides, the cloning thing ubottu just told you about is all around *useful* when reinstalling :P
[20:34] <Yarcanox> llutz: I have both in no chroot now. also, smtpd.conf is in place and contains "plain login" settings. main.cf has the sasl activation lines
[20:34] <maco> and gals?
[20:34] <idea4gud> meganerd: So after this CAn i run Ubuntu live CD and get grub back
[20:34] <Yarcanox> llutz: now smtp login will take ages (= many minutes of hanging) and then abort due to timeout (thunderbird 3)
[20:34] <meganerd> idea4gud: absolutely
[20:34] <CAPcap> How do I reinstall the open drivers? i think something is corrupted in them? seriously need some help here
[20:35] <mkanyicy> joep, you are not answering any of my questions, so we will never understand each other, sir
[20:35] <taofd> ugh flash isnt working for me
[20:35] <wu__> jk
[20:35] <taofd> all websites i go to tell me my flash is not installed, but it is :/
[20:35] <joep> akaniyci My second system is an AMD PHENOM II (4-core) which I am using right now. Both are on a KVM and switching between is very simple.
[20:35] <thunda> taofd, how did you install flash?
[20:35] <dupondje> somebody ? :)
[20:35] <taofd> apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[20:36] <mkanyicy> joep, oh you are using another machine?
[20:36] <taofd> thunda, its being weird :/
[20:36] <zagabar> I configured my server to forward from eth1 and wlan0 to eth0 so that I could use it as a router kinda. ICS in other words. That works great. However now another problem arose because of it. I cannot connect to my mailserver anymore with like mozilla firebird or squirrelmail. What can be the cause for this?
[20:36] <Pici> Darkedge: Are you trying to upgrade to lucid?
[20:36] <idea4gud> meganerd: One more thing , Recovery Disk(RD) : Just shows one main partition C drive (So running RD wil erase from other logical Partitions like D, E and ofr tht matter Ubuntu partitioin))
[20:36] <joep> mkanyicy, Yes. Sorry I'm typing somewhat slowly.
[20:36] <Yarcanox> postfix authentication with SASL just takes ages and then times out (previously with misconfigured/not running sasl it rejected login or said it wouldn't be capable of SASL authentication) - how would I find out why it does do that?
[20:36] <Yarcanox> (sasl login with normal unix user accounts over pam)
[20:37] <joep> I have looked ad my grub menu.lst and the fstab (of the corrupted system) and I don't see any abnormals.
[20:37] <meganerd> idea4gud: oh are you using the vendor recovery CD?  That will blow away everything
[20:37] <mkanyicy> joep, are there linux operating systems that you can boot on that other machine with dead ubuntu?
[20:37] <joep> mkanyicy, You saw my answes?
[20:37] <idea4gud> meganerd: it just shows 3 paritions C H(One dell provides for SYstem) and  I(prob Ubuntu)
[20:37] <CAPcap> How do I reinstall the open drivers? i think something is corrupted in them? seriously need some help here
[20:37] <mkanyicy> joep, yes I saw your answers
[20:38] <meganerd> CAPcap: what drivers, can you be more specific
[20:38] <idea4gud> meganerd: Yes actually dell gave me XP CD with my laptop
[20:38] <taofd> how do i manually force a purge of all flash files, and force reinstallf lash?
[20:38] <joep> YEs. I've done that with an old fedora. That starts OK but is of course not really useable anymore.
[20:38] <mkanyicy> joep, what do you mean that it is not really useable anymore?
[20:39] <isaac_> CAN ANYBODY READ ME yet?
[20:39] <meganerd> idea4gud: If it is a Microsoft CD you might be OK, if it is a Dell recovery CD it might wipe everything
[20:39] <mkanyicy> !caps | isaac_
[20:39] <CAPcap> meganerd: no idea >_< im having problems with programs trying tp use opengl i get 'segmentation fault' my graphics card is and ATI mobility radeon 9000
[20:39] <thunda> taofd, you could try removing it in the synaptic package manager and then reinstalling it.
[20:40] <taofd> thunda, yeah tried that too... :(
[20:40] <llutz> Yarcanox: sry think i cannot really help you. i had to setup 2 postfix last week after being 10 yrs out of mta-business. i configured sasl trhough dovecot, that was simple.
[20:40] <Pici> Darkedge: If you're running Lucid or trying to upgrade to it then you should be asking in #ubuntu+1.  If you're not, then you're sources.list is very messed up because those are lucid versions that I see in that error log.
[20:40] <isaac_> okay, is there good site with xconf files with 1024x768 refresh rate?
[20:40] <isaac_> at 120hhz
[20:40] <Yarcanox> llutz: everyone tells me that, but installing dovecot will most likely kill my solidpop3d off
[20:40] <mtb-cliff> anyone know how to list last updates applied?
[20:40] <thunda> taofd, apt-get remove?
[20:41] <meganerd> isaac_: use xrandr, the xorg.conf is not really used
[20:41] <idea4gud> meganerd: Its XP reinstallation Dvd. So the main partition C wil be erased . Wil it erase other logical partitions like D and E
[20:41] <llutz> Yarcanox: indeed
[20:41] <psyk> Arghhhhh!
[20:41] <mkanyicy> joep, what I am suspecting is a problem is that the order of your disks has changed and if menu.lst of grub or fstab does not use UUIDs then it would mount wrong partitions and you would get a kernel panic
[20:41] <Hilikus> whats the difference between user and users in fstab?
[20:41] <joep> mkanyicy, NO I mean it is so outdated and I have made so many changes that most of the programs are not of any use to me. But it runs. I can run firefox, evolution, etc.
[20:41] <burg> hello. how can i install gtkbuilder? i have ubuntu 9.10
[20:41] <psyk> I have a realtek high definition audio sound card, and ubuntu only wants to play through my laptops built-in speakers. I had the same problem with slackware.
[20:41] <isaac_> meganerd, thanks about time i find it
[20:41] <meganerd> idea4gud: I don't know for sure.  I have seen such a variety of those restore disks that I can't say for sure
[20:41] <mkanyicy> joep, it's fine boot fedora, we will use terminal
[20:42] <idea4gud> meganerd: this is just XP reinstallation DVD
[20:42] <meganerd> idea4gud: you mean CD
[20:42] <Thunder_Drop> Does anyone know what needs to be adjusted so that vlc will prevent the screen saver from coming on?
[20:42] <idea4gud> yes
[20:42] <taofd> okay i gave up on flash, just manually downloaded the tar.gz and installed it myself :/ pff
[20:43] <mkanyicy> joep, after booting fedora, open terminal and then type "sudo fdisk -l" and paste everything at http://paste.ubuntu.com
[20:43] <psyk> taofd, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[20:43] <tonsofpcs> so I was installing blender and it failed... I now have two packages (blender and python2.4-minimal) in "very bad state".  On purge attempt, both throw errors "subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" and "subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1".  Is there a way to clean up this dpkg issue?
[20:43] <meganerd> idea4gud: in that case you can shoose which partition it will use, but it will overwrite the MBR, requiring you to fix grub after  the install
[20:43] <mtb-cliff> Thunder_Drop - afaik  you need to change the powermanagement preferences
[20:43] <joep> mkanyicy, Tat is a very sound thought. My fstab is build with UUIDs but grub not as - as far as I know - grub has his own assignation of disks using hd0 as the first physical disk, hd1 as the second, etc. It is the order in which the BIOS sees the disks, not the boot order.
[20:43] <idea4gud> meganerd: I am afraid about my other logical drives
[20:43] <isaac_> meganerd, where do you edit xrandr?
[20:44] <psyk> I have a realtek high definition audio sound card, and ubuntu only wants to play through my laptops built-in speakers. I had the same problem with slackware. lspci says: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller
[20:44] <fanno> I have a strange problem. apache won't start when my webserver starts. there are no error in apache log or in system log .. and apache is located in the runlevel folder ... anyone have any idea what i need to look at/for ohh and if i start the server manualy it runs just fine =( really strange to me
[20:44] <meganerd> isaac_: xrandr is a command, there are gui front ends such as grandr
[20:44] <taofd> psyk, thanks i got it working though :) the install script wasn't working... it may be because i have ubuntuzilla installed though
[20:44] <Hilikus> how do i allow a normal user to mount a drive BUT ONLY that single user and not any user??
[20:44] <meganerd> isaac_: the wiki is here: http://www.x.org/wiki/Projects/XRandR
[20:44] <psyk> taofd, most likely.
[20:44] <joep> mkanyicy, also it starts numbering partition with 0 so the first partition on the first physical disk is hd0,0.
[20:45] <Thunder_Drop> There is no setting in the power management settings that allows full screen aplications to interupt the timer for screen saver and or other power management settings
[20:45] <CAPcap> meganerd: can u help me out? i told you what my problems are and what im running... ATI mobility radeon 9000. Programs that require OpenGl (i think) crash out before even really loading anything and I get 'Segmentation fault'. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10
[20:45] <meganerd> idea4gud: it is doable but there is potential to lose everything.  This is one of the reasons I no longer dual boot
[20:46] <taofd> psyk, its not hard though, just gotta drop it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins :D
[20:46] <joep> mkanyicy, remember, Hardy has grub 1  Karmic (9.10) uses grub2. I also thought that grub is corrupted but I don't know - yet - how to solve it.
[20:46] <mkanyicy> joep, i know, i have 2 hard drives and their order change once in a while sda becomes sdb and sdb becomes sda and grub becomes confused
[20:46] <psyk> taofd, true, but the problem I'm having now is a lot deeper than that D:
[20:46] <burg> hello. how can i install gtkbuilder? i have ubuntu 9.10
[20:46] <mtb-cliff> Thunde_Drop - You don't have a "Display" section? it applies to all power management events
[20:46] <psyk> taofd, the ubuntu devs never fixed the problem with intel sound chips
[20:46] <mkanyicy> joep, i know, i am using grub2 on karmic right now
[20:46] <meganerd> CAPcap: it has been since I have used old ATI gear and the 3d drivers (I have one machine that I use the 2d only drivers)
[20:46] <psyk> taofd, the problem has existed since 7.10...
[20:47] <mikeo> where do I go to modify the network connections?
[20:47] <mkanyicy> joep, i have little info about grub2 since it's rather new
[20:47] <mikeo> ... /etc/network/interfaces doesn't seem to be used
[20:47] <meganerd> CAPcap: under System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers, do you have the ati or fglrx drivers installed?
[20:47] <meero> how to find out why ubuntu freezes after running rtorrent?
[20:47] <mkanyicy> joep, so have fedora finished to boot?
[20:47] <taofd> psyk, :(
[20:47] <mtb-cliff> Thunder_Drop - you have to move the "put display to sleep to >> Never"
[20:48] <meganerd> meero: strace rtorrent
[20:48] <Thunder_Drop> mtb-cliff: yes I do have that section but it seems strange to have to adjust the timer for when you watch a movie as say I want the display to go to sleep in 1 hour, watching a movie longer than 1 hour does not prevent it from going to sleep
[20:48] <sghibb> hi
[20:48] <CAPcap> meganerd i opened that up it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[20:48] <meero> meganerd: strace is some kind of tracking app?
[20:49] <mtb-cliff> Thunder_Drop - agreed, unfortunately that is what I have to do. I don't know if there is another solution.
[20:49] <meganerd> CAPcap: then you will need to install the fglrx drivers to get 3d (open gl) apps to work
[20:49] <mikeo> how come /etc/init.d/networking stop and start are not doing anything anymore?
[20:49] <joep> mkanyicy, How do you change the order? There is a difference with the hardware order the BIOS sees (and grub) and the order linux sees the disks. I have never understood why they changed the ide identification (with hdzx) and made it all in sdzx. I don;t know how the kernel determines the order of the disks. That may be the problem.
[20:49] <CAPcap> meganerd: how do i do that? Ive been asking that all day and no one will answer
[20:49] <meganerd> meero: debugging, you might get some useful information before it freezes
[20:50] <joep> mkanyicy, Yes, fedora finihed booting and I could use firefox and Evolution (which I don't use anymore. I use Thunderbird).
[20:50] <meganerd> CAPcap: sudo aptitude install xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-amdcccle
[20:50] <fakeer> Suggest me a basic/smaller image editor for one touch jobs like resize, crop, convert to b/w, paste from clipboard etc.
[20:50] <meero> meganerd: i was thinking about to review some logs, but not sure which, maybe is problem with ext4?
[20:50] <mkanyicy> joep, i am using the word 'order' informally here maybe I should rather use 'sequence' instead?? UUID has nothing to do with BIOS
[20:50] <meganerd> fakeer: I use gimp for that
[20:50] <gadget3000> fakeer: GIMP is default installed, why not just use that?
[20:51] <mkanyicy> joep, can you open terminal then?
[20:51] <Thunder_Drop> mtb-cliff: seems there is a bug report on that very issue but no fixes have been commited yet
[20:51] <meganerd> meero: /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages
[20:51] <fakeer> meganerd: yeah. but gimp is very complex and big for that.. i need sth where i don;'t have to export after every resize.... i use gimp for heavy editing
[20:51] <mtb-cliff> Thunder_Drop - thz
[20:51] <mtb-cliff> thx
[20:52] <fakeer> gadget3000: ye right..but plz read above
[20:52] <meganerd> fakeer: export?  I open an image, edit then save
[20:52] <joep> mkanyicy, No. I don't run fedora there anymore but Hardy started from my USb-stick. Of course I can open a terminal thgere (it is open).
[20:53] <isaac_> meganerd, okay if you want to add mode 1024x768 at 120hz what would your command look like?
[20:53] <meganerd> isaac_: I don't usually bother with the refresh values
[20:53] <dnajovo> does anyone know if a hardware raid array must have identical har disks?
[20:53] <fuzzybunn> hey everyone for some reason .ics files are not associated with anything in Ubuntu. Does anyone know how I would get it so that evolution automatically opens ics files and adds them to my calendar?
[20:53] <dnajovo> i mena if a disk fails aftr years and is not on the market no more what will i do?
[20:54] <mkanyicy> joep, it's the same machine with 'deadbuntu'
[20:54] <meganerd> dnajovo: no, but you will be limited by the size of the smallest disk
[20:54] <Burn> so, I tried installing ssh, but the computer crashes with the 9.12 fglrx driver
[20:54] <mkanyicy> joep, it's the same machine with 'deadbuntu' right?
[20:54] <isaac_> meganerd, 60hz looks like shit.. thats why, i need 120hz at 1024x768
[20:54] <Burn> so I can't login remote
[20:54] <joep> mkanyicy, Yes.
[20:54] <meero> meganerd: basicly what it does, id doesnt freeze system as whole, im connecting with ssh.... after "something" , shell freezes, and when im trying to reconnect, it displays only autenticating (key file), and nothig else happens
[20:54] <dnajovo> but i won't have problems if i can get same capacity disks and same rpm?
[20:54] <guntbert> !language | isaac_
[20:54] <mkanyicy> joep, pastebin 'sudo fdisk -l'
[20:54] <isaac_> meganerd, i don't want 85, 75, or less hz... I  wwant 120hz at 1024x768
[20:54] <dnajovo> also do you know if i can connect a sas disk to a sata 2 controlles?
[20:55] <dnajovo> cntroller i meant!
[20:55] <fakeer> meganerd: when i resize it. then after i try to save it, it asks me to export. but either way i want a less complex solution for small edits
[20:55] <isaac_> *shouts* would anybody just help me to get 120hz to work at 1024x768 :( :(
[20:55] <joep> I'll try that. Burt for some reason this (karmic) system refuses to accept ssh from that system.
[20:55] <meganerd> isaac_: I think the command is --refresh <vlue> after the --output part
[20:55] <joep> Of course I can work from that system. One moment..
[20:56] <meganerd> isaac_: all of my displays are LCD here, so there is no point in me setting the refresh rate
[20:56] <Adil> hi everyone
[20:56] <meganerd> isaac_: in other words, I have nothing to test with
[20:56] <isaac_> meganerd, i am trying to get my 3d thing to run at 120hz not 60hz
[20:56] <isaac_> meganerd, the reason why i'm still on CRT
[20:57] <isaac_> meganerd, and my crt still support up to 170hz
[20:57] <CAPcap> meganerd still nothing runs
[20:57] <Adil> Until recently my boot drive and DVD drive were on the same IDE cable. I upgraded my dvd drive to SATA, making the boot drive the only IDE drive I have. But ubuntu won't boot up.. I dont get to grub
[20:57] <Yarcanox> llutz: I checked the syslog and it disliked some config option
[20:57] <meganerd> CAPcap: glxinfo
[20:57] <Yarcanox> llutz: which means it works now :) without dovecot
[20:57] <Yarcanox> thanks for helping!
[20:58] <Adil> I am still relatively new to ubuntu... do I have to repair the loader?
[20:58] <rasmus_> does anyone know how to install themes on ubuntu 9.10
[20:58] <llutz> Yarcanox: it has to work without, just is easier with :)
[20:58] <joep> mkanyicy, I first have toi download an IRC client as that is not available in Hardy!!
[20:58] <mkanyicy> joep, ok
[20:59] <timothy> Adil, if the grub isn't start it means your pc is not booting from the disk. Have you tried to check your bios if the disk is selected as a boot device?
[20:59] <Adil> timothy, the drive is detected and is selected as the boot drive
[20:59] <frankhenry_> hello all
[21:00] <oCean_> rasmus_: you changed themes in prior versions? It's still in system > pref > appearance
[21:00] <Xjudder> hi
[21:00] <joep__> mkanyicy: I'm now working from the "corrupted" system. I've seldom used patebin. How does it work??
[21:00] <rasmus_> yes, but new themes doesn't work
[21:01] <zagabar> I configured my server to forward from eth1 and wlan0 to eth0 so that I could use it as a router kinda. ICS in other words. That works great. However now another problem arose because of it. I cannot connect to my mailserver anymore with like mozilla firebird or squirrelmail. What can be the cause for this?
[21:01] <CAPcap> meganerd: http://pastebin.com/m11b9f932
[21:01] <Adil> timothy I think you're right.. it might be the boot order. I was too tired last night and might have made a mistake. Will check when I go home. Thanks
[21:01] <oCean_> rasmus_: maybe you mean gdm theme? That's the "login" theme
[21:01] <joep__> mkanyicy: can you see me?
[21:01] <timothy> hey no prob
[21:01] <charlesdee> Hello
[21:01] <oCean_> joep__: we can
[21:01] <mkanyicy> joep__, the easy way just copy everything and paste it at http://paste.ubuntu.com
[21:02] <timothy> adil also check your master slave configuration on your ide disk
[21:02] <timothy> automatic settings do tend the frack things up
[21:02] <Adil> thanks timothy
[21:02] <rasmus_> o
[21:02] <timothy> hope it helps!
[21:02] <rasmus_> yes i do
[21:02] <Adil> i hope so too!
[21:02] <joep> Joke. Your answers are comin on this system and not on the other!! I have to switch constantly.
[21:02] <meganerd> CAPcap: that is way less output than I would expect.  IS the module loaded?  "lsmod |grep fglrx"
[21:02] <Adil> see you guys later
[21:02] <babalu> hello, in some folders, i can't do 'cat *', how can i correct that? "cat: invalid option -- 'N' Try `cat --help' for more information."
[21:03] <oCean_> rasmus_: there's difference in gdm theme (login screen) and your gtk+ themes
[21:03] <rasmus_> ok
[21:03] <mkanyicy> joep__, the fancy way is to install 'pastebinit' and then just type 'sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit'
[21:03] <rasmus_> but is it possible to change the login theme?
[21:03] <llutz> babalu: "cat -- *"
[21:03] <CAPcap> meganerd: I put in lsmod |grep fglrx but it doesnt have any output, should it have?
[21:04] <joep__> mkanyicy: That's nice !! I'll try that.
[21:04] <meganerd> y
[21:04] <meganerd> CAPcap: try "sudo modprobe fglrx"
[21:04] <babalu> llutz: oh nice, why is it working?
[21:04] <mkanyicy> joep__, did you pastebin the output of that command yet?
[21:04] <llutz> babalu: "--" means: no more options are following
[21:05] <CAPcap> sudo modprobe fglrx
[21:05] <CAPcap> oops

[21:06] <babalu> llutz: ok thanks i understand better
[21:06] <fanno> *apache
[21:06] <llutz> babalu: in your example, you have a file called "-Nsomthing", cat * will be expanded to "cat -Nsomthing" and -N is no cat option

[21:12] <joep__> oCean_: OK. I'm curious what you can do with it as for me it looks rather normal.
[21:13] <SealedWithAKiss> I have mounted my boot partition, but don't have write access, how can I mount the partition so that I can write to it?
[21:13] <AJC_Z0> isaac_: You can limit the horizontal and vertical refresh rates for your monitor in xorg.conf
[21:13] <CAPcap> meganerd: i typed aticonfig into the terminal and got this: aticonfig: No supported adapters detected
[21:13] <mkanyicy> joep__, without the URL i would have never saw that page
[21:13] <oCean_> joep__: I did not catch your initial question, just saw conv with mkanyicy, just explaining the pastebin thing.
[21:13] <gkahla> SealedWithAKiss- what are you doing with your boot partition? browsing it in a terminal?
[21:14] <AJC_Z0> isaac_: Does the "Display" GUI not offer you any frequency choices?
[21:14] <SealedWithAKiss> gkahla, I'm browsing using the GUI now. I was using the terminal.
[21:14] <isaac_> AJ_Z0, thats exactly what i'm saying
[21:14] <mkanyicy> joep__, are you sure it's sdc5?
[21:14] <gkahla> SealedWithAKiss- are you wanting to edit the grub.conf file, or something more drastic?
[21:15] <isaac_> AJC_Z0, do you have any answer?
[21:15] <joep__> My initial question was a problem with my hardy system that apparently due to some mysterious event suddenly will not start with the regular Ubuntu system but comes in a panic after attaining /sbin/init.
[21:15] <heychuck> if you want to be one of the most
[21:15] <heychuck> strongest brute with a bear or wolf
[21:15] <heychuck> and high stats..
[21:15] <heychuck> already at lvl 5-10
[21:15] <heychuck> just go to this site and make a brute?
[21:15] <FloodBot4> heychuck: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:15] <heychuck> http://chucknorrrris.mybrute.com
[21:15] <oCean_> heychuck: stop that
[21:15] <mkanyicy> joep__, then type this "mkdir ~/sdc5 && mount /dev/sdc5 ~/sdc5" and then paste the output of this command "df -h" and that of "ls -lh ~/sdc5"
[21:16] <SealedWithAKiss> gkahla, I'm not going to touch grub.cfg. I would explain exactly what I'm doing, however you'd need a couple of hours spare.
[21:16] <Lars2010> how can I get free -b to show % instead of just absolute values?
[21:16] <mkanyicy> joep__, we are going at a rather very slow pace, can we buckle up a bit?
[21:17] <mkanyicy> joep__, then type this "mkdir ~/sdc5 && mount /dev/sdc5 ~/sdc5" and then paste the output of this command "df -h" and that of "ls -lh ~/sdc5"
[21:17] <gkahla> SealedWithAKiss-  if you can get to a terminal, just 'sudo -i' and you're on with full admin privs until you type 'exit'...
[21:18] <SealedWithAKiss> gkahla, is there a way to do this via the GUI?
[21:18] <gkahla> SealedWithAKiss- all the normal warnings apply; you can set your system on FIRE using commands as the admin user / you could potentially upset the orbit of the earth / etc, etc...
[21:19] <Poldino> hi - i've been trying to get OpenArena working on my ubuntu 9.10 64 bit install but it is unreliable - hangs when I try and quit.  what can I do to discover what the problem is?
[21:19] <isaac_> AJ_Z0, do you have any solve to my problem?
[21:19] <SealedWithAKiss> gkahla, are you serious? You mentioned fire?
[21:20] <SealedWithAKiss> gkahla, this sytem is in a state already.
[21:20] <javatexan> where is the thunderbird exe supposed to be?  I built from source and i would like to know where to put the ln....
[21:20] <CAPcap> is there any way to fully install ubuntu over the top of whats there (complete reinstall, format, destroy current installation) from inside ubuntu, or do i have to use my CD?
[21:20] <RumblePure> Has anyone used ubuntu on Acer Aspire 7738G (a laptop)? Good or bad idea?
[21:20] <AJC_Z0> isaac_: I already gave you an answer. See above
[21:20] <gkahla> SealedWithAKiss- surely, just 'sudo nautilus' and remember to close the browser when you're done...
[21:20] <daftykins> CAPcap: probably safest and easiest from CD
[21:20] <AJC_Z0> isaac_: Please don't confuse me with that jerk AJ_Z0
[21:20] <mkanyicy> joep__, ??
[21:20] <llutz> !compile | javatexan:
[21:21] <llutz> !checkinstall | javatexan:
[21:21] <gkahla> SealedWithAKiss- lol, no fire, but people tend not to take it seriously when they get admin privs... :)
[21:21] <SealedWithAKiss> gkahla, I'm reconsidering. Would you mind me PMing you, are you busy?
[21:21] <joep__> mkanyicy: Yes I'm sure as my grub syas it goes to hd0,0 and that is the first disk. And here is the URL: http://pastebin.com/m7f542795
[21:21] <Lars2010> how can I get free -b to show % instead of just absolute values?
[21:21] <OerHeks> RumblePure did you check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/  for your model ?
[21:21] <CAPcap> meganerd: aticonfig: No supported adapters detected
[21:22] <isaac_> AJC_Z0, ??
[21:22] <isaac_> AJC_Z0, i looked above and didn't find it
[21:22] <OerHeks> RumblePure and if it is not listed, and you find out, it works fine, send in your experience :-)
[21:23] <mkanyicy> joep__, good. now type "sudo blkid | grep sdc5" and paste HERE after that type "sudo cat /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst" and pastebin the output
[21:23] <joep__> oCean_: Can you see the link?
[21:23] <idea4gud> if i just boot ubuntu  CD wil i ge grub
[21:23] <mkanyicy> joep__, 'blkid' will tell us the UUID for sdc5
[21:24] <joep__> mkanyicy: here is the output: sudo blkid /dev/sdc5: UUID="7bf828ec-137b-49c3-9336-807fab416d02" TYPE="ext3"
 isaac_: You can limit the horizontal and vertical refresh rates for your monitor in xorg.conf
[21:24] <RumblePure> OerHeks: Haum had no idea about this page... will ofcourse be of great help! thx and yes I'll tell about my experience.
[21:25] <alan__> I am having a problem with the software sources in Karmic. I keep getting an error in the update manager and in software center but synaptic is working okay, any guesses?
[21:25] <mkanyicy> joep__, now waiting for you to pastebin menu.lst
[21:25] <isaac_> AJ_Z0, oh yeah that one.. can you check my conf ?
[21:25] <javatexan> llutz:  I've already got it compiled and running fine.  I am trying to figure out how to fake out other apps that assume it is installed in path x when in fact I am using it in /software/comm-central/objdir-tb-release/mozilla/dist/bin/thunderbird
[21:25] <javatexan> I thought maybe a ln would work, if I knew where to put it
[21:26] <llutz> javatexan: most likely stuff in /usr/bin
[21:26] <oCean_> alan__: don't you think the actual error message would be relevant?
[21:26] <SealedWithAKiss> I want to mount /dev/sda2 to /media/Boot with write access. It's the boot partition. What command would I use?
[21:27] <alan__> ocean._yes but i did not want to overflow the room
[21:27] <isaac_> AJC_Z0, check this out http://paste.ubuntu.com/358699/
[21:27] <joep__> mkanyicy: Yes I know. and here is the URL for grub menu.lst http://pastebin.com/m271163be
[21:27] <oCean_> alan__: then paste at paste.ubuntu.com and give the url in this room
[21:27] <alan__> will do
[21:28] <javatexan> is there a way to tell a soft link from a hard link using ls?
[21:28] <isaac_> AJC_Z0, at bottom you could see i put 1024x768_120 +0 +0"
[21:28] <gkahla> SealedWithAKiss- you can try 'umount /dev/sda2 && mkdir -p /media/Boot && mount /dev/sda2 /media/Boot'
[21:29] <mkanyicy> joep__, replace the line with "root (hd0,4)" by "uuid  7bf828ec-137b-49c3-9336-807fab416d02"
[21:29] <isaac_> AJC_Z0, but serious my monitor supports 100-120 hz on 1024x768 for sure
[21:29] <joep__> mkanyicy: ?? I didn't know that was possible. Is that also for grub 1??
[21:29] <mkanyicy> joep__, here is my old menu.lst i used to use during jaunty days for reference: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/358698/
[21:30] <ardian> I want to make a live usb wich format is better FAT16 or FAT32 ?
[21:30] <laeg> !ssh
[21:30] <mkanyicy> joep__, for the record, grub2 does not even use menu.lst
[21:30] <mkanyicy> joep__, that is works for grub1
[21:30] <alan__> ocean_:http://paste.ubuntu.com/358704/plain/
[21:31] <joep__> mkanyicy: Perfect!. I'll try that immediately. And yes, I know I saw that. (sigh) have to learn new tricks again!
[21:32] <Lars2010> that is weird! I just tried the EXPLAIN ANALYZE command a couple of times. first ~40 times it needed ~20ms. I didn't change *anything* and now it needs 5 seconds and uses a completely different query plan. why?
[21:32] <xtagon> I just booted after an unexpected shutdown (power outage) and now I can't use apt/synaptic. It's saying my disk is full, but it's not.
[21:33] <weez> hi.
[21:33] <Guest15804> Hi!
[21:33] <erUSUL> xtagon: you should pass an fscak to the partition
[21:33] <vargadanis> can you guys suggest me an optical character recognition software? OCR?
[21:33] <weez> does anyone know how to get a static ip for my ubuntu server?
[21:34] <Counterspell> I just installed 9.10 x86_64 and I can't copy text from my Skype chat window. Skype is uses QT for the GUI so I suspect it may be some kind of broken Gnome <-> Skype integration. Can anyone help with this?
[21:34] <mkanyicy> joep__, hope that works, i have to leave now. im leaving you at the hands of tireless ubuntu experts ;)
[21:34] <joep__> mkanyicy: and oCean: thanks a lot. I will try it tomorrow.  Thanks again a lot and till soon.
[21:34] <weez> counterspell: let me see if i can replicate
[21:34] <javatexan> okay...last step....How do I get "preferred applications" in gnome to add the typical thunderbird settings....right now I have to use a custom.
[21:35] <mkanyicy> joep, go to sleep which timezone are you in?
[21:36] <chilipepper> How do I check my internet's speed? I'm on ubuntu
[21:36] <chilipepper> Errr, yes, of course :D
[21:36] <xtagon> erUSUL: But it's the root file system, it's mounted.
[21:36] <chilipepper> thanks
[21:36] <CShadowRun> chilipepper: stop any internet activity you are doing (Downloads, Online music, etc) then head to http://speedtest.net and click test
[21:37] <RumblePure> how well do proprietary drivers work with Gefore 210m/220m/240m?
[21:37] <erUSUL> xtagon: you can do it from a livecd (the install cd is a livecd) or try « sudo touch /forcefsck » and reboot
[21:37] <xtagon> erUSUL: Okay, thanks.
[21:37] <weez> does anyone know how to set up a static ip address?
[21:38] <Andy14> probably aint work
[21:38] <yeason> I'm trying to compile a nightly build of VLC and getting these errors when running 'make' http://pastebin.org/78373 anybody have an idea?
[21:38] <sybariten> hi
[21:38] <chilipepper> CShadowRun, thanks. Will do that in a bit. Bookmarking the URL
[21:38] <mkanyicy> weez, use ipconfig
[21:38] <sybariten> is there a graphical FTP client installed with most standard Ubuntu distros?
[21:38] <sybariten> slash releases
[21:38] <mkanyicy> weez, ifconfig
[21:38] <sybariten> i am using a shell account at my friends and would like to see if he has an ftp account
[21:39] <Andy14> sybariten: no but you can install filezilla easily, or you can add it to a disc and burn it
[21:39] <sybariten> sorry wrong
[21:39] <sybariten> ftp client
[21:39] <sybariten> Andy14: i'm just a user at his machine
[21:39] <infid> if someone irc's from a ssh'ing to a shell on a remote computer is it possible to see their original ip?
[21:39] <mkanyicy> weez, example: 'sudo ifconfig eth1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
[21:39] <sybariten> dont wanna bother him at the moment.... so there really isnt any installed?
[21:39] <Andy14> sybariten: it's not your machine than?
[21:39] <sybariten> Andy14: nope
[21:39] <sybariten> infid: one more time please
[21:39] <Jowi> sybariten, no default one. you can use ftp://site in any browser
[21:40] <Andy14> sybariten: well, that sucks xD
[21:40] <Andy14> sybariten: why do you need something graphical?
[21:40] <sybariten> Jowi: yeah thats true. Although ftp in browsers tend to suck more than .... well... something something
[21:40] <sybariten> Andy14: kinda easier to work with files in those....  ftp in console is something i never really became friends with
[21:41] <infid> sybariten: say you are irc'd from a shell account right now that you ssh'd into. could i see find your IP address of the computer you ssh'd *from*
[21:41] <superPi> is it possible to have something similar to Time Machine on Ubuntu?
[21:41] <mkanyicy> weez, i am not an expert nor confident about correctness of my suggestions so i prefer not to PM so that the community can correct me if i am wrong
[21:41] <weez> thanks
[21:41] <sybariten> infid: nope
[21:41] <yeason> infid: only if you have access to the logs on the server
[21:41] <mkanyicy> weez, np
[21:41] <etsorbme8> infid:  <infid>  dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com
[21:41] <sybariten> infid: you're safe  ;)
[21:41] <stryker> cool
[21:41] <Andy14> sybariten: you could look if you can download filezilla without installing it, like just running it xD
[21:42] <SealedWithAKiss> I want to mount my boot partition (/dev/sda4) with write access, how do I do that? I need a GUI?
[21:42] <stryker> anyone running ultimate edition
[21:42] <sybariten> Andy14: heh, interesting approach
[21:42] <mkanyicy> sybariten, nautilus!
[21:42] <sybariten> Andy14: you know what, i did "apropos"  for ftp and it seems as he has gftp... yay... thanks anyhow
[21:42] <zagabar> I configured my server to forward from eth1 and wlan0 to eth0 so that I could use it as a router kinda. ICS in other words. That works great. However now another problem arose because of it. I cannot connect to my mailserver anymore with like mozilla firebird or squirrelmail. What can be the cause for this?
[21:42] <stryker> yeah
[21:42] <sybariten> mkanyicy: that could work, too!
[21:42] <Andy14> ok
[21:42] <m4c4br3> hello everyone! just got ubuntu back up and running after a regrettable hiatus :) just thought i'd say hi
[21:43] <ardchoille> stryker: we don't support ultimate edition here

[21:44] <infid> flash is flash, regardless of content
[21:45] <oorah> but youtube works just fine though
[21:45] <AJC_Z0> isaac_: See your HorizSync and VertRefresh? Try changing those to the ranges you want and get that working before you mess with fancy (meta)modes
[21:45] <alabd> hello , Document viewer just show 1 st page of pdf files why ?
[21:45] <infid> speaking of such things though. do all video players in ubuntu keep logs of what you played? and is there a way to make it so they wont display what you're playing to a terminal?

[21:46] <nu1> hello, I would like to know if there is any audio player that I can place in the menu bar and control from there, such as WMP in the taskbar???
[21:46] <infid> Jowi: i mean they display stuff on the terminal even when i launch their guis from the menu

[21:47] <stryker> change ur keyboard shortcuts in the system preferences
[21:47] <hipitihop> I have a MS bluetooth mouse and keyboard which regularly drop out and I either have to remove/replace dongle or sometimes even re-pair. This started back in intrepid but even worse in karmic
[21:47] <m4c4br3> is google chrome different from chromium at launchpad?
[21:48] <Jowi> infid, modify the desktop file for the app in /usr/share/applications and add >& /dev/null to the end of the command?
[21:48] <IpSe_DiXiT> hi, i just bought a hdd and creating a "new" partition, since the all disk appears "unallocated" when creating this new partition it lets me choose the "partition table type" (in the advanced options) what am i supposed to put for ubuntu? thanks
[21:48] <martyn___> nu1 - I think Amarok has that capability - but please check.
