[00:00] <wirechief_intel> arooni maybe something here, use google dpkg-reconfigure locales
[00:00] <Flannel> ToxicSoul2: the problem is your BIOS apparently lists SATA before your IDE, so your first IDE was 0, and is now 1 (with your SATA being 0).
[00:00] <cathartia> Is there a known issue with the network-admin for wifi stuff?
[00:00] <cathartia> I'm having trouble getting my wifi settings to "stick" with 8.04.  Everytime I reboot I have to go back in and manually configure them.

[00:01] <shawnb> looking for an editor that will keep a list of my scripts functions down the side
[00:02] <cathartia> what is ndiswrapper?
[00:02] <TaRDy> shawnb, i like jeditor, and you can split the windows
[00:02] <Arky44> beli: how?
[00:02] <wirechief_intel> cartharitia search google but this is one http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=2&url=https%3A%2F%2Flaunchpad.net%2Fbugs%2F192845&ei=VcwoSKOwM4SmpwSknry0Cw&usg=AFQjCNGBH6Ws4Vf-3ax8Z5fVHqZ7wcH02w&sig2=eNYvQNMBXiGIcHmZM5kiJw

[00:02] <belorix23112> cathartia, its a program that can be used to run unsupported wireless cards and stuff but i can run anything other than jsut wireless
[00:02] <Flannel> shawnb: Perhaps eclipse or anjuta??  You're looking for a full blown IDE
[00:02] <beli> shawnb: a developing editor? use eclipse, anjuta or codeblocks

[00:03] <Dante124> hey, I want to run smartctl -a on my hd.....but not sure what the syntax should be.....I have to point it to the HD.....what should be after the smartctl -a?
[00:03] <jesus_christoffe> hi gods and jesuses
[00:03] <wirechief_intel> Dante124: try man smartctl
[00:03] <Cinni> I thought the plural form was 'Jesi'.
[00:04] <schnauzer> shawnb: try running notepad++ in WINE.
[00:04] <Flannel> shawnb: Notepad++ gave you a list of that stuff?    Notepad++ is based on SCintilla, you may like SCiTe.
[00:04] <Arky44> shawnb: you can also use gedit ("Text Editor"). You can set it to highlight all the key workds and such
[00:04] <shawnb> not looking for a full blown IDE, just a syntax highlighting text editor with a few extras
[00:04] <Dante124> wirechief_intel  ERROR: smartctl requires a device name as the final command-line argument.

[00:04] <ko> node357 everyone afk there, could u help me out?
[00:04] <Flannel> shawnb: Check SCiTE out, it uses the same engine as Notepad++, so you'll feel right at home.
[00:04] <Arky44> beli: how should I reinstall my packages
[00:05] <wirechief_intel> Dante124: well maybe smartctrl -a /dev/sdX  where x is your hd
[00:05] <nassty> !broadcom
[00:05] <ko> !ipv6
[00:05] <shawnb> Is there a way for get SCiTe to list my scripts functions ?
[00:05] <cathartia> I know my wifi card works: when I configure the network settings in network-admin I can connect.  But when I reboot the settings are gone.  When I type them in again I can connect though.
[00:05] <beli> Arky44: i am searching for a solution.....i use slackware mostly...new to ubuntu.....but there was a trick with dpkg....i cant remember atm....be patient

[00:06] <Flannel> shawnb: I dont know
[00:06] <Cinni> I'm inexperienced, trying to install WinXP as a subordinate operating system, but of course the accursed thing refuses to install properly.  And in the process of installing, it seems to have taken out the startup management utility, I think its name is GRUB, but I've been wrong before.  I'm booting off my Ubuntu 64 bit install disc, how can I fix GRUB so that I can get into my Ubuntu install?
[00:06] <beli> Arky44: basically you can do a list of all installed packages...then clear the installed package list...and use a script to reinstall them
[00:06] <Flannel> !grub | Cinni
[00:07] <YEAEZUZ>
[00:07] <beli> Arky44: or lets better say...to install over old ones

[00:07] <cathartia> right now I'm having this problem with Xubuntu 8.04 but I also had it with Ubuntu
[00:07] <wirechief_intel> cathartia: maybe your missing /etc/resolv.conf with your dns settings
[00:07] <nassty> !bcm43xx
[00:08] <HummaKavula> hi all
[00:08] <johnrush> !it8212
[00:08] <cathartia> I don't see how /etc/resolv.conf has anthing to do with my wifi network settings.
[00:08] <HummaKavula> is anyone alive?
[00:09] <nassty> I'm pretty alive
[00:09] <cathartia> my dns server is persisting across reboots
[00:09] <howapt> is there a way of configuring Keyring? oft. I will have to load a program twice because the Keyring prompt and the program decide not to load
[00:09] <wirechief_intel> cathartia: well if they are missing it wont work well.
[00:09] <howapt> ( ? )
[00:09] <HummaKavula> thank gods.. so irc isn't dead?
[00:09] <nassty> I don't think so
[00:10] <wirechief_intel> cathartia: easy to find them cat /etc/resolv.conf
[00:10] <cathartia> wireschief: the dns settings persist fine - it is the network settings like network name and auth info that gets whiped out
[00:10] <HummaKavula> last time i used irc was about 10 year ago
[00:10] <nassty> I love ir
[00:10] <nassty> irc*
[00:10] <ringer> what is it better to do, an upgrade or clean install if i want to move from 7.10 to 8.04
[00:10] <howapt> HummaKavula: Same here! Only came back on thanks to Ubuntu (god Im turning into a fanboy)
[00:10] <wirechief_intel> cathartia: do you have a /etc/network/interfaces  file ?
[00:10] <HummaKavula> i needed it so badly
[00:10] <SeaPhor> not with 1,315 people in this one channel alone (counting bots, droids, gnomes and moles)
[00:11] <wirechief_intel> cathartia: does the /et/network/interfaces file disappear ?
[00:11] <howapt> SeaPhor: please dont bring attention to my mole
[00:11] <wirechief_intel> cathartia: does the /etc/network/interfaces file disappear ?
[00:11] <cathartia> wirechief:I'm not with the machine right now.  Is /etc/network/interfaces modified by network-admin?
[00:11] <wirechief_intel> cathartia: yes i would think it is.
[00:12] <Intangir> in nautilus, when i backspace to goto the parent directory. its beeping at me! even though i have system beep turned off in gnome preference
[00:12] <_oOMOo_> ringer IMHO if it's not too much hassle I'd do a clean install.
[00:12] <Intangir> its really annoying
[00:12] <Intangir> it didnt do this before upgrading to 8.04
[00:12] <cathartia> wirechief: what is that?  I do have an ubuntu machine with me - a different one
[00:12] <wirechief_intel> cathartia: yes i would think it is. you can see when it was created with ls -l /etc/network/interfaces
[00:12] <beli> hmm
[00:12] <laeg> Intangir: clearly you have angered the kernel!
[00:12] <Fishscene> LOL

[00:15] <wirechief_intel> cathartia: yes they all do.
[00:15] <cathartia> is Hardy the name given to 8.04?
[00:16] <RyanPrior> beli: I've got a gzipped tarball with a /boot, a /usr, and so on.

[00:16] <Fishscene> Cathartia, yes
[00:16] <wirechief_intel> cathartia: but the lappy might be little diff, i can paste this one for comparison

[00:25] <Thorney> mythTV anyone?
[00:26] <marreco> stroyan: can u help me?
[00:26] <stroyan> marreco:  Start with "man xrandr".  It lets you list outputs and set modes for each output.
[00:26] <mneptok> Thorney: nope. PS3 here. ;)
[00:26] <Thorney> ps3 = expen$ive!
[00:27] <wirechief_intel> marreco simple use of xrandr is  xrandr in terminal, you can then set resolutions xrandr -x 1024x768 or whatever is supported that you wanna use.
[00:27] <mneptok> Thorney: so are computers for an HTPC. and they won;t play Blu-Ray or games. ;)
[00:27] <marreco> stroyan: im seen the man right now but i dont understand so much about this! example .. how can i get the XID for the --output

[00:28] <bluefoxx> speaking of which, my computer has been completely freezing a lot lately

[00:34] <ringer> ok, so when in hardy, run gparted, then delete my root partition, then run the install?
[00:34] <wirechief_intel> ringer just format the partition you want to use, that will take care of it.
[00:35] <bluefoxx> i thought my system hangups were due to my CPU for a while, so i switched to standard clock speeds[didnt fix it] then switched to a different CPU
[00:35] <chris2020> Hi - Exaile does not show new music folder I added - Someone know best way to update this?
[00:35] <wirechief_intel> ringer you can do that with gparted or within the installer
[00:35] <beli> bluefoxx: well....i do that to see what is the last thing that has been logged via syslog daemon before failure happens....in common you use async mounted partitions....and async logging. means that syslogd writes data to disc when some buffer has been filled. if you use sync mounting and sync logging.....it MAY log the thing that caused your crash...
[00:36] <bsd> I've got a really biiig problem, my pendrive doesn't work
[00:36] <Brent^> how do I restart compiz?
[00:36] <anomoly> what are the benefits of installing ubuntu inside windows as apposed to creating a dedicated partition?
[00:36] <wirechief_intel> bluefoxx: there have been reports of the nvidia driver causing hangs, you just downgrade to vesa for test
[00:36] <bluefoxx> beli: so which files/folders do i look at?
[00:36] <Brent^> anomoly: you can uninstall it via add or remove programs
[00:36] <bsd> when i connect it to the usb the pendrive just flashes once an then it turns off
[00:36] <wirechief_intel> bluefoxx: just make a backup before you do.
[00:36] <bsd> what can i doo?
[00:36] <ringer> wirechief, which is easier? i have never used gparted brfore
[00:37] <schnauzer> !msg ubottu repomirror
[00:37] <wirechief_intel> bluefoxx: just make a backup before you do. of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:37] <caram> ringer, they are both rather easy to use.
[00:37] <schnauzer> !msg ubottu etiquette
[00:37] <bluefoxx> wirechief_intel: my travan didnt agree with linux >. > i wound up tossing it into my 98 box
[00:37] <caram> just use the more popular one(I think it's gparted)
[00:37] <beli> bluefoxx: man syslogd.conf
[00:37] <wirechief_intel> ringer not sure easier is relative, use the manual partitioner in the installer. but gparted will work from a livecd too.
[00:38] <bluefoxx> beli: ty ^^
[00:38] <wirechief_intel> bluefoxx: lol
[00:38] <mneptok> wirechief_intel: in my family, relatives never make anything easier. :/
[00:38] <beli> bluefoxx: and read howto mount a partition sync
[00:38] <ringer> caram, and wirechief, thanks for your help.
[00:38] <ringer> wish me luck, here i go
[00:38] <caram> np
[00:38] <caram> gl :D
[00:38] <beli> bluefoxx: man mount, cat /etc/fstab
[00:38] <wirechief_intel> ringer np
[00:38] <caram> lol fstab
[00:38] <bluefoxx> wirechief_: ok, thats easy enough[i tried backing up my core system to old TR-1 tapes with no luck]
[00:39] <beli> caram?
[00:39] <caram> hmm?
[00:39] <caram> I read as facestab
[00:39] <mneptok> ugh, ringer uses Bell. reformatting his partitions is the least of his problems
[00:39] <bluefoxx> beli: i have no trouble mounting drives XP i run three extra hards plus a raid5 array for music files ^^
[00:39] <beli> bluefoxx: yeah, but you should read about sync/async mounts
[00:40] <caram> mneptok, is there something wrong with Bell?
[00:40] <bluefoxx> beli: ok, i will learn the difference : \
[00:40] <bluefoxx> beli: thanks
[00:40] <mneptok> caram: more than what's right with them.
[00:40] <beli> np
[00:40] <caram> oh
[00:40] <AnswerGuy> I have a pretty obscure question to ask ... so I'm not sure if someone would prefer to take it into PM with me.  I'm trying to create a customized initrd for Hardy (netbooting it) such that I can tickle an internal web server with the busybox wget script (with a ReSTful query like: ?req=register&mac=00-AA-11-BB-22-CC-33&ip=<IP_ADDRESS>
[00:41] <mneptok> AnswerGuy: this is *so* the wrong channel for you :)
[00:41] <mneptok> AnswerGuy: try a dev ML
[00:41]  * spass is away: ( while [ $away -eq true ]; do sleep 1s; done )
[00:41] <bluefoxx> beli: going by name, im deducing so far though, that a sync mount writes the data ASAP while a asinc waits to be unmounted, for the buffer to fill or some other event to happen right/
[00:41] <AnswerGuy> I boot with break=mount and this drops me into the initrd/Busybox shell --- and I can configure the net address, and find the mac and IP addresses (munging them into the right form)
[00:41] <AnswerGuy> The only problem I'm having is getting any sort of name resolution to work! :(
[00:42] <Pici> !away > spass (Please see the private messsage from ubottu)
[00:42] <Catkingdom> I can't get my linux to recognise my sound card's existance, even though it worked under Windows and is a fairly standard card, circa 1999.
[00:42] <mneptok> Catkingdom: ISA?
[00:42] <AnswerGuy> Would #ubuntu+1 have any developers in it?
[00:42] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: is it an ISA card?
[00:42] <Catkingdom> mneptok: No, Sound Blaster
[00:42] <wirechief_intel> AnswerGuy there is a bug with booting into a busybox with Gutsy is that your problem ?
[00:42] <mneptok> Catkingdom: SB can be ISA, AFAIK
[00:43] <anomoly> has anyone here done the ubuntu install within windows? If so, is the performance reduction worth it?
[00:43] <beli> bluefoxx: thats it...and thats why there is the sync command. and guess what happens if your box crashes? it does not write tha buffered data to log files ;)
[00:43] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: sudo modprobe snd-sb[hit tab, tab to list more]
[00:43] <AnswerGuy> No, wirechief_intel, this is Hardy and I'm able to get to the BB shell with break=mount without any problem.
[00:43] <bluefoxx> beli: ahh...i see. so how do i find out which my drives are using?
[00:43] <beli> bluefoxx: in common async mode is better, because of the i/o load...but in debug case...
[00:43] <AnswerGuy> the only problem I'm having is getting DNS resolution.
[00:43] <wirechief_intel> Answer ok
[00:44] <beli> bluefoxx: it has nothing todo with your drives, but with how you mount them... --> fstab
[00:44] <Catkingdom> bluefoxx: "FATAL: Module snd_sb not found."
[00:44] <wirechief_intel> AnswerGuy: well that takes place with the /etc/resolv.conf file
[00:44] <AnswerGuy> Tried creating that.
[00:44] <AnswerGuy> No go
[00:44] <RyanPrior> I have a full tarred, gzipped Linux filesystem that I want to try and boot in VirtualBox. How can I turn that filesystem into a virtualbox disk?
[00:44] <mneptok> Catkingdom: is it an ISA card?
[00:44] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: get it to list more sound blaster modules by hitting tab key twice
[00:45] <AnswerGuy> I suspect that I don't have libnss_dns.so files
[00:45] <mneptok> Catkingdom: no one cares about the model name. we want the interface type. :)
[00:45] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: then choose the one from there and type in the rest
[00:45] <AnswerGuy> but something on the system must be able to do it because my nfsroot mount options are by hostname, not by IP addr (I think ... let me check)
[00:45] <Catkingdom> mneptok & bluefoxx: The command returns "FATAL: Module snd_sb not found."
[00:46] <Starnestommy> .back
[00:46] <kanuha> need help with getting an external monitor working on laptop. Display wonturks during post, but not in Ubu
[00:46] <wirechief_intel> AnswerGuy:  nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> or something like that in the file
[00:46] <Starnestommy> whoops
[00:46] <AnswerGuy> Ooops --- that bites!  I did have to use IP addr for the nfsroot= argurment!
[00:46] <linkmaster03> how can I see the wireless settings being used through terminal?
[00:46] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: thats cause thats just the family of coundblaster cards, not a specific module for them
[00:46] <Starnestommy> linkmaster03: iwconfig
[00:47] <[GSF]Martin> ifconfig can set the settings
[00:47] <beli> linkmaster03: iwconfig
[00:47] <[GSF]Martin> *w
[00:47] <alexander_> hello
[00:47] <wirechief_intel> linkmaster03: maybe sudo ifconfig
[00:47] <AnswerGuy> wirechief_intell: no offense but I can create valid resolv.conf files in my sleep.  I've been doing Linux systems administration for 16 years and occasionally teaching it for about 10.
[00:47] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: you need to find the model of your card. EG a soundblaster AWE series is snd-sbawe
[00:47] <linkmaster03> Thank you guys
[00:47] <Catkingdom>  mneptok & bluefoxx: what does "ISA" mean anyway, the type of physical connection that it goes into? (the type of BUS socket)?
[00:47] <alexander_> Is there an app that lets me use and login to windows external desktops?
[00:47] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: yes
[00:47] <_Net> Hi I got a problem. No one is able to connect to my computer. I mean I can't remote desktop, I can use lampp only in localhost, no one use gobby (multiplayer text editor), basically anything that involves me running from my computer doesn't work.
[00:47] <wirechief_intel> AnswerGuy: sounds like you have all the self-help you need then ;)
[00:48] <mneptok> Catkingdom: correct, ISA pre-dates PCI
[00:48] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: ISA is older, common in pre-/00 machines
[00:48] <Catkingdom>  mneptok & bluefoxx: K, its the really old black-kind of socket, not the white one or the brown one.
[00:48] <AnswerGuy> It's not a resolv.conf problem; it's more of a library issue (like not having any libnss_dns --- and not having the code linked statically into anything in the initrd image.
[00:48] <_Net> I dont know why, before I can go to http://<myip> and it would show me lampp now i can only do it via http://localhost
[00:48] <mneptok> Catkingdom: that's ISA, and it will not work.
[00:48] <[GSF]Martin> _Net: firewall?
[00:48] <Catkingdom>  mneptok & bluefoxx: why not?
[00:48] <beli> AnswerGuy: its more a design problem....
[00:48] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: yes. the white is PCI[current] and brown is AGP[replaced by PCI-E]
[00:48] <Imaginal> In the shell, how to you cd to a directory with a space in the name?
[00:48] <_Net> I doubt it. Ubuntu even has a firewall?
[00:48] <kanuha>  need help with getting an external monitor working on laptop. Display works during post, but not in Ubuntu
[00:48] <_Net> It was working Wonderful 2 days ago
[00:48] <_Net> And I didnt change anything
[00:49] <bluefoxx> mneptok: i got a ISA card working in my other machine
[00:49] <mneptok> Catkingdom: for the same reason your new Toyota won't react well to shoving coal in the gas tank. times change. :)
[00:49] <[GSF]Martin> _Net: router?
[00:49] <AnswerGuy> beli: what design problem?
[00:49] <beli> Imaginal: you need to escape special chars
[00:49] <mneptok> Catkingdom: you in the US?
[00:49] <bluefoxx> mneptok: no reason he cant, provided he can find the correct module
[00:49] <_Net> I have the ports forwarded too.
[00:49] <beli> Imaginal: use cd foo\ bar
[00:49] <Catkingdom>  mneptok & bluefoxx: no, UK.
[00:49] <btfielder> can anyone help with reading dvds in ubuntu 8?
[00:49] <greg_universe> lol
[00:49] <beli> Imaginal: or try cd "foo bar"        ...it has to do with your shell expansion
[00:49] <[GSF]Martin> btfielder: you'll need the restricted drivers
[00:49] <mneptok> bluefoxx: feel free to help do that. i'll cut my losses and recommend a 2 quid PCI sound card ;)
[00:49] <j2k> has anyone got the boot freespace error when upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04?  I'm not sure if i have to resize it or if i can delete files
[00:49] <btfielder> ive got them
[00:49] <Imaginal> beli: Thank you much *_*
[00:49] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: which model of soundblaster is it?
[00:49]  * AnswerGuy thinks I'll have to add yet another cmd argument passed by the pxelinux.cfg/* file to give me the registration server address.
[00:49] <beli> AnswerGuy: that you need to use ip
[00:49] <btfielder> trying to read data dvds
[00:50] <btfielder> cant mount them
[00:50] <Catkingdom>  mneptok & bluefoxx: I'll have to pull it out to find out: I'll go find a screwdriver.
[00:50] <[GSF]Martin> oh
[00:50] <bluefoxx> mneptok: i find that the awe64pro i had from my first computer runs very nicely so far :)
[00:50] <AnswerGuy> beli: well it is an nfsboot configuration after all.  And NFS is generally done over IP
[00:50] <mneptok> bluefoxx: cool, my AWE64 refused due to BIOS oddness.
[00:50] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: you can allways boot he windows and look in the device manager
[00:50] <mneptok> bluefoxx: but hey, maybe this guy has your BIOS. ;)
[00:51] <Veinor|away> I can't get wireless to work on my HP dv9235nr.
[00:51] <mneptok> bluefoxx: 2 quid soundcard = waaaaaaaay easier
[00:51] <bluefoxx> mneptok: ouch:( you tried PnP?
[00:51] <Veinor|away> with hardy heron.
[00:51] <mneptok> bluefoxx: oh yes.
[00:51] <j2k> Do i need to resize my boot to upgrade to hardy or can i delete files?
[00:51] <AnswerGuy> (I guess there's some new experimental NFS over RDMA that's being toyed with recently --- but that's not relevant to this)
[00:51] <bluefoxx> mneptok: cheap PCI== fired my mobo T_T
[00:51] <Veinor|away> I have an Intel 3945ABG
[00:52] <beli> AnswerGuy: right, thats what i guessed.....design problem of nfs
[00:52] <Catkingdom>  mneptok & bluefoxx: I've probably got a PCI sound card in the attic, Its just I don't really want to go into thr attic :P. The linux doesn't have windows on it.
[00:52] <beli> nfs is really old...like ftp *shrug* but both still used widely
[00:53] <iclebyte> grrr!! ubuntu puts <IP_ADDRESS> <hostname> into /etc/hosts and it breaks java's RMI registry!
[00:53] <kanuha> how can I get my laptop to see my external monitor?
[00:53] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: ah. i though i saw you say you had it booting windows and linux, my bad :\
[00:53] <iclebyte> kanuha, it should work straight away
[00:53] <kanuha> iclebyte: it did during post, but not once Ubuntu starting booting
[00:54] <j2k> are there any files I can delete from my boot in order to upgrade to 8.04? or do i have to resize?
[00:54] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: so you figure out what kind it is? the creative card usually boast they're model name on them somewear
[00:54] <iclebyte> kanuha, if it doesnt then make sure you have the right driver for your laptops video card and look in System -> administration -> screens and graphics
[00:54] <caram> kanuha, I know that some laptops, such as a thinkpad require you to press the fn key + then the f7 key
[00:54] <AnswerGuy> Well, my plan is to add dropbear (SSH) support into the initrd --- and make it so I can have machines boot into the initrd and dynamically select their NFS server, register their MAC/IP address, have a server generate a pxelinux.cfg/xx-yy-zz-aa-bb-cc configuration file, and wait for a callback to reboot into that new configuration
[00:54] <Brent^> kanuha: try hitting fn + f4
[00:54] <iclebyte> kanuha, unless you have an nvidia card in which case use the nvidia control panel
[00:54] <caram> or that
[00:54] <Catkingdom>  mneptok & bluefoxx: Sound Blaster Model CT4180, Circa 1997, Chipset ViBRA 16C.
[00:54] <caram> what kind of laptop are you using, kanuha?
[00:54]  * iclebyte just wasted 3 hours because of this host entry
[00:55] <Brent^> iclebyte: I feel your pain : /
[00:55] <iclebyte> thanks
[00:55] <kanuha> fn f4 worked
[00:55] <andreas007> Does anybody has a clue why with KDE4 Remix on Hardy 8.04 changing screen resolution is not possible. I have a notebook with a intel 915 and an extrenal TFT. Resolution is always identical to the notebooks internal 1024x768.
[00:55] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: one sec there
[00:55] <kanuha> thx all
[00:55] <Brent^> yw kahuna
[00:55] <kanuha> the display lookes wierd on the external though
[00:56] <Catkingdom>  mneptok & bluefoxx: Fairly dusty too, though that shouldn't stop it working :P
[00:56] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: so long as its not choked by dust, it works
[00:56] <Brent^> its funny how many problems are caused either by a) bad default settings or b) people overlook something simple (i.e. volume is all the way down)
[00:56] <beli> AnswerGuy: evil stuff :) how many boxes do you need this for?
[00:56] <caram> try going to system, screen resolution kanuha
[00:56] <caram> and see if that helps
[00:56] <kanuha> I have a nvidia video card, should I install the nvidia settings
[00:58] <Brent^> brent113: is your birthday january 13th?
[00:58] <rcsheets> huh
[00:58] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: try "sudo modprobe snd-sb-common" , then in alsamixer[from command line] check if it sees a sound card
[00:59] <rcsheets> i wasn't expecting to be auto-connected here
[00:59] <beli> AnswerGuy: wow dropbear is really small....
[00:59] <miwachiru> Is anyone here familiar with Second Life?
[00:59] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: any luck
[01:00] <Catkingdom> bluefoxx: sudo modprobe snd-sb-common returned nothing, so presumably it worked. Whats an alsamixer?
[01:01] <cottontop> hello
[01:01] <iclebyte> Catkingdom, alsamixer is a commandline program for setting your volume levels
[01:01] <Veinor|away> I can't get wireless to work on Hardy with my Intel PRO 3945ABG, any advice?
[01:01] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: alsamixer is a program for adjusting sound levels from a terminal
[01:01] <iclebyte> Veinor|away, which version?
[01:01] <Brent^> Veinor|away: is that a laptop card?
[01:01] <Veinor|away> Which version of what?
[01:01] <iclebyte> ubuntu
[01:01] <Veinor|away> Hardy.
[01:01] <Veinor|away> Yes it is.
[01:02] <iclebyte> my card worked out the box no problems
[01:02] <iclebyte> i have the same chip in my viao
[01:02] <Veinor|away> No driver's showing up in the driver manager, despite the fact that one did in Gutsy
[01:02] <Catkingdom> bluefoxx: Great. How do I use it?
[01:02] <iclebyte> check out the 'restricted drivers'
[01:02] <evil_tech> Veinor|away: my card worked out of the box as well
[01:02] <rcsheets`> oh, haha. i didn't know what network i was on.
[01:02] <rcsheets`> that was funny
[01:02] <Veinor|away> I did. Nothing at all is snowhing up there iclebyte. I mean the video card is, but no wireless.
[01:02] <Brent^> Veinor|away: I had to restart Ubuntu twice before my laptops card showed up
[01:02] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: run it from the terminal and if it correctly sees the sound card, then hit escape and type in "sudo gedit /etc/modules", and add a new line to the end of that document, then type in the "snd-sb-common"
[01:02] <iclebyte> do you have the wireless switch turned on on the laptop?
[01:02] <iclebyte> =)
[01:02] <Veinor|away> Yeah :P
[01:02] <iclebyte> do 'iwconfig' on the commandline
[01:03] <Veinor|away> I can find networks but I can't connect.
[01:03] <ether_c> Hi, has anyone else had problems with Brasero "creating checksum" indefinitely rather than burning stuff?
[01:03] <sparky01> Anyone see this?  http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS6736055367.html
[01:03] <Veinor|away> iwconfig works fine
[01:03] <sparky01> And now on Linux - Adware
[01:03] <Sergeant_Pony> flannel you here?
[01:03] <cottontop> is there a "visual C ++" or C++ software that I can run on linux?
[01:03] <sparky01> wtf!
[01:03] <Catkingdom> bluefoxx: I really have no idea how to use alsamixer, just give me the exact command.
[01:03] <Chris_Were> does anyone know how to install 8.04 off the command line?
[01:05] <Veinor|away> it says it's using e1000 drivers
[01:05] <Veinor|away> are these the ones it should be using?
[01:05] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: that is the command. run it, when it opens if it sees the sound card[should say the name of the sound card] then exit it with escape key and then add the "snd-sb-common" to /etc/modules
[01:05] <beli> good night folks, need some sleep
[01:05] <evil_tech> any one here handy with samba?
[01:06] <Veinor|away> or should I get new ones?
[01:06] <ttmontoya> Hi Im having trouble with my resolution i have an ati rage m3 card how do I configure it.
[01:06] <Chris_Were> i need to knoe hoe i can start a command line install on 8.04
[01:06] <Brent^> cottontop: its called g++ you compile C++ files via the command line
[01:06] <iclebyte> Veinor|away, it should be using the ipw3945d
[01:06] <Catkingdom> bluefoxx: "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory"
[01:06] <ether_c> Hi, has anyone else had problems with Brasero "creating checksum" indefinitely rather than burning stuff?
[01:06] <evil_tech> Chris_Were: alternate cd
[01:06] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: then the module isnt the right one...
[01:06] <iclebyte> see if ipw3945d exists in /etc/init.d/
[01:07] <cottontop> thx brent.  where do i access g++?  I am running 8.04 ubuntu
[01:07] <jtaylor13> set my tool bar on the top of my desktop.can someone tell me the terminal command.
[01:07] <evil_tech> Chris_Were: select your language and then press F4
[01:07] <sparky01> Anyone running Nexuiz server?
[01:07] <iclebyte> what exactly is the 'alternate cd' ? whats the difference?
[01:07] <Brent^> cottontop: just type g++ in terminal
[01:07] <Veinor|away> iclebyte: nope
[01:07] <Chris_Were> english
[01:07] <evil_tech> alternate cd is text based
[01:07] <sparky01> iclebyte, its light installer
[01:07] <evil_tech> no GUI
[01:07] <Brent^> cottontop: followed by the program file you want compiled
[01:07] <ttmontoya> How do I set up my repos to get the right drivers for my video card from ATI
[01:07] <Veinor|away> how do I get ipw3945d?
[01:07] <Pixeltime> and more install options
[01:07] <sparky01> much nicer and faster
[01:07] <Catkingdom> iclebyte: Alternate CD has a simple installer, instead of the live CD, for computers with > 192mb of RAM
[01:08] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: did the sound card say anything else on it[i probabally have one of it but its burried somewear amongst a pile of parts]
[01:08] <dmsuperman> Can anybody help me figure out why fonts from msttcorefonts are terribly pixelated? I have tried all combinations, with/without full hinting, with/without subpixel smoothing, reinstalling msttcorefonts, etc. Nothing works, all fonts from that package, in any interface, are extremely pixelated, and this started a few days ago
[01:08] <Veinor|away> that's odd. it's under /etc/modprobe.d
[01:08] <iclebyte> Veinor|away, do 'sudo modprobe ipw3945'
[01:08] <Chris_Were> how do i select my language
[01:08] <cottontop> great!  Also, is there a wait to set vim as my editor in the terminal?  I am not sure where the configuration files like vimrc exrc

[01:08] <Veinor|away> FATAL: Module ipw3945 not found
[01:08] <Chris_Were> is that on the alternative or normal cd?
[01:08] <sgillespie> how do i disable a module (pcspkr) permanently?

[01:09] <evil_tech> select it from the menu and follow the prompts
[01:09] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: ok, did it say "CT" on it?
[01:10] <Catkingdom> bluefoxx: It says, "Sound Blaster Model CT4280", Circa 1997, Made in singapore, Chipset ViBRA 16C (Circa 1995), and on the back it says its tested to comply with FCC standards, and theres two serial numbers
[01:10] <evil_tech> anyone using guest access with samba?
[01:10] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: then it would be a soundblaster ct...one sec
[01:10] <Veinor|away> i heard it's iwlwifi now
[01:10] <cottontop> is there a better chat room for me to be in to learn more about developing on the linux OS when I have been programming in Windows environment?

[01:11] <evil_tech> ill see if i cant find it again
[01:12] <neil_d> I have a printer connected to my ubuntu computer, I want to share this with another ubuntu computer, can I do this via Linux or do I need to use samba ?

[01:12] <TaRDy> how do i make it so i can write to a mounted drive?
[01:12] <jrib> TaRDy: what filesystem?
[01:12] <Veinor|away> jtaylor13: gnome-terminal ?
[01:12] <TaRDy> jrib, ntfs
[01:13] <jrib> !ntfs > TaRDy (read the private message from ubottu)
[01:13] <TaRDy> thank you
[01:13] <jrib> jtaylor13: can't you just drag it with your mouse?
[01:13] <Catkingdom> bluefoxx: any luck?
[01:14] <alexander_> what cheap laptop should i buy that works well with ubuntu? both wireless and sound should work. also graphics acceleration have to work...
[01:14] <jrib> alexander_: eee pc?
[01:14] <jtaylor13> veinor:sorry i add panel bar on the top of my desktop.I want to reset it to factory.The problem i am having today is everytime i click the red exit button the entire bar disappears and i have to hold down the power button to exit.
[01:14] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: ok, so these are the sound blaster modules, try the same thing with each of them until alsamixer shows something >snd-sb16       snd-sb16-dsp      snd-sb8-dsp    snd-sb-common       snd-sb16-csp       snd-sb8        snd-sbawe
[01:14] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: one should work...
[01:14] <alexander_> jrib: Does it support graphic effects in ubuntu?
[01:14] <Simonft> can someone help me with a broadcom? i have tried !broadcom
[01:14] <ubernoobie> I am dual booting ubuntu with windows xp and would like to know how big the swap,boot should be.
[01:15] <jrib> !laptop > alexander_ (read the private message from ubottu)
[01:15] <jrib> alexander_: I believe so.  ubottu has sent you a more complete list
[01:15] <evil_tech> ill see if i cant find it again
 generally a swap twice the size of your RAM works
 Boot should be a minimum of 5gb
[01:15] <evil_tech> anyone know if the guest samba account works?
[01:15] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: a useful pair of tricks in the terminal are <tab key> after typing the first part of a command and <tab tab> to list more commands[or options]
[01:15] <sten_> alexander_: maybe one of these? http://system76.com/index.php?cPath=28
[01:15] <ubernoobie> okay so since my ram is 2gb should it be set as 512mb
[01:16] <Simonft> can someone help me with a broadcom? i have tried !broadcom
[01:16] <HummaKavula> ubernoobie: it is simple - your swap should be something between 0.5 - 10 GB
[01:16] <jtaylor13> group:here is my problem   i add panel bar on the top of my desktop.I want to reset it to factory.The problem i am having today is everytime i click the red exit button the entire bar disappears and i have to hold down the power button to exit.
[01:17] <mneptok> ubernoobie: laptop or desktop?
[01:17] <ubernoobie> its a desktop
[01:17] <arthur> i have a question? how do i determine a prossess id to kill. from termanal ?? bash: kill: motion: arguments must be process or job IDs
 sorry, the other way around.  But since you have 2gb of ram, a 2-3gb swap partition should be fine
[01:17] <mneptok> ubernoobie: with 2GB of RAM yuor swap can be quite small.
[01:17] <evil_tech> probably will be overkill
[01:17] <Jburrke> hey everyone :D
[01:17] <nickellery> ubernoobie, note that when you install Ubuntu, it automatically generates a SWAP partition
[01:17] <Starnestommy> arthur: "ps aux" will tell you the names and PID numbers of all runing programs
[01:17] <arrrghhh> no BT gurus?
[01:18] <HummaKavula> ubernoobie:  just set it to 2xRAM
[01:18] <bluefoxx> !tab | Catkingdom
[01:18] <iclebyte> arrrghhh, whats your question?
[01:18] <binvij> hi, can someone help me for configuring sound card on lenovo Y410 on ubuntu 8.02
[01:18] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: a better explaination of what i was trying to say ><
[01:18] <mneptok> arrrghhh: what's the question?
[01:19] <sten_> ok getting some weird results from my cups print-server:  from my laptop, all ports appear to be closed, while from my file-server, all ports that should be open are open.  It does not seem to be a hosts.deny problem.  Also, there isn't a firewall between the print-server and my laptop.  Any ideas?
[01:19] <arthur> ty
[01:19] <userlol> does anyone here know if photoshop cs3 works well with wine?
[01:19] <HummaKavula> ubernoobie: if you want to save disk space it can be smaller... lets say 1xRAM
[01:19] <ubernoobie> okay alright then I will set my swap for 1024
[01:19] <Catkingdom> bluefoxx: They all didn't work on Alsamixer, 'cept snd-sb8, who's sudo modprobe failed with the error "FATAL: Error inserting snd_sb8 (/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/isa/sb/snd-sb8.ko): no such device"
[01:19] <mneptok> ubernoobie: more than enough.
[01:19] <ubernoobie> too much is overkill
[01:20] <Simonft> does anybody know how to reset my wireless settings?
[01:20] <SeaPhor> ubernoobie, thats plenty
[01:20] <nickellery> ubernoobie, sounds good
[01:20] <mneptok> ubernoobie: agreed. 1024MB is fine. and not wasteful.
[01:20] <ubernoobie> thanks all
[01:20] <evil_tech> blarg!!
[01:20] <HummaKavula> in a matter of fact in my entire life i didn't use swap space for standard desktop activities
[01:20] <Sindacious> Has anyone been having issues with watching vidoes on the internet? I can't even seem to watch videos on sites such as, http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jcink-show (Hardy)
[01:20] <jrib> ubernoobie: if you want to use suspend, then swap should be the same size as your ram
[01:20] <mneptok> evil_tech: nack.
[01:20] <Syco54645> php
[01:20] <bluefoxx> Catkingdom: hmm....search google for your sound card with the words "linux" or "ubuntu" attatched on the end...if your lucky something may come up...else you have to switch to a newer PCI card like mneptok said...
[01:20] <codecaine> whats a good program to record your linux desktop for tutorials?
[01:21] <Catkingdom> Bluefoxx: OK, thanks for trying. It is appreciated.

[01:26] <Carbonflux> has anyone had problems using KDE news ticker in gnome?
[01:26] <Agrajag-> g'day, flash on my hardy box is causing ff3b5 to crash all the time. when i'm browsing youtube, i can always play one video fine, then trying to play the 2nd causes a segfault. i'm using the nonfree flash player. i have another hardy box where this doesn't seem to happen though. i tried creating a core dump but it wasn't useful at all. what else can i do to figure this out?
[01:26] <Simonft> evil_tech: this help?
[01:26] <mneptok> codecaine: no idea. i don;t recordmydesktop. :)
[01:26] <Simonft> evil_tech: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum40/349.htm
[01:27] <Simonft> Carbonflux: ask on either #kubuntu or #kde
[01:27] <mneptok> codecaine: but compression is a function of the library. not the front-end tool.
[01:27] <codecaine> yea I can do that afters thanks
[01:27] <Agrajag-> hmm i just found the bug on launchpad, nevermind
[01:27] <Carbonflux> Simonft, I am using it in Ubuntu
[01:27] <codecaine> mneptok ill check its quailty of recording
[01:27] <k20a> do i have to do anything special to burn a .wmv to a cd-r for it to work on a compatable dvd player or just burn it on there in k3b?

[01:30] <Carbonflux> Gnome does not have a good news ticker, so far I have been do lazy to write one, normally in Ubuntu I just run kdenewsticker, in 8.04 every so often it seems like KDE News ticker runs dd and tries to eat my drive or something, I have to do several full power cycles to get the drive to reset, its just about the weirdist thing I have seen, scary really
[01:30] <Carbonflux> thanks Simonft
[01:30] <Imaginal> I have several parts of a rar file. When I open the first, it just displays the first chunk of contents. How can I open them all as one?

[01:38] <Cinni> GRUB question!  When I do that thing in which I inform Grub of which drive it should be looking at, does it just add to the list, or replace the list?  Because I've got some old installs form previous hardware configs on here, and I really don't know how to tell which drive is what in the terminal.   Multiple rars. I want them to be opened as one in archive manager?

[01:39] <Argo> Hello... I have what is hopefully a simple question. I downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 and am tryign to run it from the CD and right now it's prompting me for a user name and pass and isnt loggin in with anything ive tried, does anyone know what to use?
[01:39] <MTecknology> Anybody know much about setting up RAID/LVM ?
[01:39] <arbir> evil_tech: why should my server show me two shares, with different names, both pointing to the same share directory
[01:39] <ttmontoya> Thanks
[01:39] <Imaginal> jrib: strange, but it is just opening that piece. :S
[01:39] <evil_tech> arbir: no i meant my samba problem is windows fault, as for yours its because they have two different names i imagine
[01:39] <arbir> Argo: try root
[01:39] <jrib> Argo: verify the cd is burned correctly (option when you boot the cd).  That is not normal behavior
[01:40] <evil_tech> arbir: i currently have 3 different samba shares pointing at the same place
[01:40] <jrib> Imaginal: you installed the 'unrar' package?
[01:40] <arbir> evil_tech: i see two shares , one is called "Home" and another is of the same name as the username with which i logged in....
[01:40] <Argo> nods, humm root didnt work but if that's not normal behavior ill dbl check the cd with that option
[01:40] <Charbucks> Can anyone tell me how to force a module to stay loaded?  Every time my bluetooth mouse goes to sleep (to save battery, presumably) evdev is unloaded and I need to restart X to get the mouse functional again
[01:41] <Imaginal> jrib: yep
[01:41] <Simonft> MTecknology: http://www.excalibur-partners.com/archives/18
[01:41] <dabaR> Argo: did you just start, and got a login screen, or it was working for a while, and then started showing this login screen?
[01:41] <jrib> Imaginal: did you try extracting it?  It should automatically use the other archives as needed
[01:42] <Cinni> I need a hand with GRUB, to make it see the right kernels as I try to make it recover from my, perhaps misguided and certainly ineffective attempt to get an XP install working.
[01:42] <coldopm> Can anyone tell me how to set panels to defaults? (Hardy)
[01:42] <mauler5858> hey all
[01:43] <Imaginal> jrib: I would rather not extract it. there are 8000 files in about 150 rar files. I would like to just search for one of them
[01:43] <Argo> I loaded it in the comp selected english went to try ubuntu withough changing... and it loaded and was aksing for user name and password
[01:43] <Argo> (just started)
[01:43] <evil_tech> urg this is so frustrating
[01:44] <MTecknology> I created a RAID array, /dev/md1 that spans /dev/hda1 and /dev/hde1. On that partition, I used fdisk to create an LVM partition(8e). I try to fdisk this partition, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I want to create 3 partitions on it
[01:45] <MTecknology> Simonft, ^^ or so I need to install some tools before I can do that

[01:53] <jong> I think the pacman screensaver rocks

[01:53] <Veinor|away> ok, one last time before i go
[01:53] <pac1> mavez, is tux racer available in ubuntu?
[01:54] <Codenut> knowing that 256 MB of ram is the minimum system requirement, what speed of PC and what processor do you need to run Ubuntu?
[01:54] <mavez> lol ofcourse
[01:54] <ackstorm> wakka-wakka, all codecs should work same in all media players
[01:54] <le-dong> Sir Paul McCartney was asked how much he was going to give his wife Heather in their divorce settlement. He replied 'I'm going to give her my plane'. 'Is that all?' asked the journalist. 'No, I'm going to give her a razor for the other leg too'.
[01:54] <fde> pac1: Everything mentioned is available in Ubuntu.
[01:54] <Veinor|away> I can see wireless network on my Hardy Heron install with an Intel 3945ABGS card, but I can't connect to them.
[01:54] <Starnestommy> hvgotcodes: is it working in HTML-only mode?
[01:54] <Veinor|away> Even if they're unencrypted.
[01:54] <hvgotcodes> Starnestommy: no its just working
[01:54] <coldopm> Wakka Wakka: Use add/remove and search for it in there, there is a couple gstreamer ones..
[01:54] <Starnestommy> hvgotcodes: also, I think that google's sites may be allowed by default
[01:54] <axplus> how can i log with user root on Ubuntu 8.04
[01:54] <Veinor|away> I can connect to one I was able to connect before upgrading, but not anymore.

[01:54] <hvgotcodes> starnestommy: yeah I just looked at the little noscripts icon, its definitely preventing stuff...
[01:54] <Veinor|away> er, I mean I can still connect ot the one I was connecting before upgrading, but not to a new one.
[01:55] <mojoe430> anyone here know how to compile php from source?
[01:55] <mavez> i used to do it all the time on slackware

[01:55] <Starnestommy> mojoe430: someone in ##php might
[01:55] <pac1> ttmontoya, you didn't tell ubottu which card you have.
[01:55] <user__> how can i send Rhythmbox taskbar button to top-right of the screen?
[01:55] <MTecknology> I created a RAID array, /dev/md1 that spans /dev/hda1 and /dev/hde1. On that partition, I used fdisk to create an LVM partition(8e). I try to fdisk this partition, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I want to create 3 partitions on it
[01:55] <Veinor|away> The driver isn't showing up under restricted drivers

[01:58] <ttmontoya> how do I Do that
[01:58] <STSX> In KDE 3.5, how do you change the system clock on the panel to 12 hour time instead of 24 hour time?
[01:58] <ttmontoya> Where do I get it
[01:58] <coldopm> user_: np
[01:58] <fde> STSX: right click > Clock Preferences
[01:58] <pac1> ttmontoya, you probably already have it.

[01:59] <mavez> oh hai thar
[01:59] <greg_universe> how do you turn off compwiz?
[01:59] <pac1> ttmontoya, have you tried putting r128 in for the driver in X?
[01:59] <coldopm> So anyone have any idea how to reload panel defaults by any chance??
[01:59] <mavez> compwiz haha
[01:59] <le-dong> coldopm, Yes! I agree, you're awesome!
[01:59] <ttmontoya> pacl: how?
[01:59] <Simonft> alecs: do you need to to it from command prompt?
[01:59] <pac1> uh oh.
[01:59] <STSX> fde: I right-click it, go to "configure clock" and I don't see anywhere, under any tab, how to change it to 12 hour time.
[01:59] <axplus> I do not want a password root , I want to activate the expense of root (Ubuntu 8.04)
[01:59] <alecs> yeah ... actually bash script

[02:00] <Zaiden> Is it possible to undo the removal of packages from the synaptic package manager? :<
[02:00] <ttmontoya> pacl: how do i access x
[02:00] <alecs> le-dong: why ?!
[02:00] <fde> hvgotcodes: That should be fine... try 'sudo update-fonts-dir' and see if they show up.
[02:00] <mavez> tinker lol!
[02:00] <le-dong> One day two boys were walking through the woods when they saw some rabbit turds. One of the boys said, ''What is that?''''They're smart pills,'' said the other boy. ''Eat them and they'll make you smarter.'So he ate them and said, ''These taste like shit.''''See,'' said the other boy, ''you're getting smarter already.''
[02:00] <pac1> ttmontoya, It's usually pretty automatic in ubuntu.
[02:00] <Simonft> Zaiden: just install them again?
[02:00] <hvgotcodes> fde: i assume on that dir that i posted earlier?
[02:00] <Simonft> le-dong: please stop
[02:01] <fde> STSX: It should be there... I'm not in KDE though... it's Configure Date/Time though... you want 'pH' rather than 'HH'
[02:01] <fde> hvgotcodes: just run it.
[02:01] <wakka-wakka> coldopm: i just had a panel problem, what's yours?
[02:01] <fde> hvgotcodes: no arguments necessary.
[02:01] <hvgotcodes> its says i need to specify a dir
[02:01] <ttmontoya> pacl: is there a command for that
[02:01] <fde> hvgotcodes: hmm, ok then yes... my bad
[02:01] <Zaiden> Simonft: I only remember a few of the packages, and I barely have any programs left. I lost the terminal even :o
[02:01] <fde> !ot | le-dong
[02:01] <hvgotcodes> fde: a warning about an absolute path and no other output
[02:02] <coldopm> wakka wakka: I started messing around with it, lol I just want to restore defaults cuz now all I have on panel is icons for everything...
[02:02] <le-dong> I told my wife to get her coat on last night.   I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 with the k3b installed.  I dowloaded an Ubuntu 8.04 iso for a friend.  How can I burn it to a CD so that it is bootable?  I tried just doing "burn image" in k3b, but it doesn't boot.  Thanks
[02:02] <mavez> lol
[02:02] <mavez> fo shoa
[02:02] <alecs> Simonft:  yeah ... actually bash script  (@ your question :  alecs: do you need to to it from command prompt?)
[02:02] <fde> hvgotcodes: did you use '/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc' expicitely?
[02:02] <fde> explicitly even
[02:03] <ryo> re
[02:03] <coldopm> tinker: do you run WINE?
[02:03] <hvgotcodes> fde: affirmative
[02:03] <axplus> I want to Active Root User on Ubuntu 8.04
[02:03] <wakka-wakka> coldopm: ahh i don't know how to restore to defaults, but if you had a problem i just had i would've told you how to troubleshoot
[02:03] <tinker> coldopm:  no wine
[02:03] <fde> hvgotcodes: Hmm, ok, then lets see if they're showing up... they should be there now....
[02:03] <fde> hvgotcodes: If not, log out and back in, and they'll be there I'd bet
[02:04] <evil_tech> there a way to map all incoming usernames for my samba share to one user?
[02:04] <hvgotcodes> fde: negative, at least from the appearance gnome dealy
[02:04] <evil_tech> since the guest account doesnt work
[02:04] <fde> evil_tech: no
[02:04] <coldopm> tinker: I had the same issue with the base install of vista. I could not burn the .iso without nero. Not to versed with ubu burn software tho sorry
[02:04] <STSX> fde: OK, I found it under "Adjust Date & Time", thanks. But how am I supposed to know that pH is 12 hour and HH is 24 hour? Totally counter-intuitive to me, but I'm not a programmer either.
[02:04] <evil_tech> bollocks
[02:04] <tinker> coldopm: thanks
[02:04] <pac1> ttmontoya, what do you know about configuring an X server?
[02:04] <fde> STSX: I forget where I found that out... I think it is defined if you hit "Help" or something.
[02:05] <Shpook> Isn't there a way to use the Ubuntu(or maybe another distro) installation CD to recover a damaged windows HDD? If so, does anyone know where I can find the documentation?
[02:05] <tinker> I think it laughable that I can't make an Ubuntu cd for a friend with ubuntu
[02:05] <axplus> I want to Active Root User on Ubuntu 8.04
[02:05] <hvgotcodes> fde: Ill ask my other questions before trying the logout: 1) I have 1.7 ghz machine and it takes ~6 seconds for the gnome file browser to fire up.  Is that normal? 2)  Is it safe to go to HH from GG yet?
[02:05] <tinker> I've been searching for docs and cant't find a thing
[02:05] <dobled> holas
[02:05] <Starnestommy> axplus: you don't need to
[02:05] <Starnestommy> axplus: just use sudo
[02:05] <evil_tech> ive never had much luck with k3b in ubuntu
[02:05] <coldopm> tinker: lol...nod
[02:05] <alecs> axplus: with sudo su -
[02:05] <tinker> let me try usenet
[02:05] <axplus> i know
[02:05] <coldopm> Anyone know how to reset panel defaults?
[02:05] <fde> hvgotcodes: That upgrade will probably fix the slow startup ... I'm not sure how safe it is but there have been many updates already (around 50 or so?)
[02:05] <axplus> but i have root user
[02:06] <ackstorm> sudo >= root
[02:06] <hvgotcodes> fde: 50 updates from 7.10 to 8.04?!!??
[02:06] <newbie_> hello, does anyone in here knows about any application that would help me tune a piano. I need to detect the frequencies at which the keys are, so I can correct them. Any suggestion?
[02:06] <axplus> i know
[02:06] <fde> hvgotcodes: nah... since 8.04 was released... from 7.10 -> 8.04 there will be like 500
[02:06] <davy> hi folks
[02:07]  * ackstorm has been programming too much, and not socializing enough
[02:07] <davy> can somebody help me installing compiz? :s
[02:07] <doofy_> I'm trying to get SSH working on my box, but im getting connection refused. Im assuming the port is blocked, is there a gui tool to unblock it?
[02:07] <fde> newbie_: See if there is a channel for Ubuntu Studio, they are the guys that specialize in such things.
[02:07] <hvgotcodes> fde: only 500 people have upgrade to hardy?  I would have thought 1000x that
[02:07] <doofy_> i cant even ssh in from my local network
[02:07] <fde> newbie_: Probably #ubuntustudio
[02:07] <axplus> I know (sudo or Su = root) but i wont log with root user
[02:07] <newbie_> fde, thanks
[02:08] <sCOTTo> !pdf
[02:08] <davy> su doesn't work for me anymore :s
[02:08] <fde> hvgotcodes: No... that is # of packages upgraded....
[02:08] <sCOTTo> can anyone tell me what the best program is in Linux to CREATE PDF docs?
[02:08] <ttmontoya> pacl: I know Nothing, can you help me
[02:08] <tinker> Oy!  Why aren't there directions for makingt the Ubuntu ISO into a bootable CD?   Maybe on the page to download them? :)
[02:08] <hvgotcodes> fde: oooohhhhh
[02:08] <hvgotcodes> ok
[02:08] <anabolix> is there any other chat programs that are similar to pidgin but better?
[02:09] <Simonft> anabolix: what is wrong with pidgin?
[02:09] <MTecknology> wow.... Linux really does rock. I don't want to try to imagine building partitions on top of RAID in a Windows environment.
[02:09] <ackstorm> anabolix, what exactly are you looking for?
[02:09] <punzada> pidgin is probably the best you're going to see for everything cept irc, in which I would reccommend xchat
[02:09] <punzada> ;x
[02:09] <HardHatPat> how do i set one of my network cards at 1/2 duplex 10mb?
[02:09] <Starnestommy> anabolix: maybe kopete
[02:09] <Simonft> punzada: im in pidgin for irc now, works fine
[02:09] <dmsuperman> punzada, unless you want video/audio chat, but most of us don't need that
[02:09] <fde> sCOTTo: Applications > Office > OpenOffice.org Word Processor has a PDF export... also any application can print to PDF file.
[02:09] <anabolix> simonft: nothing specif... just looking around for something new and better if there is such a replacement
[02:09] <Simonft> nope ;)
[02:09] <dmsuperman> and pidgin handles IRC decent, but XChat is waaay better
[02:10] <axplus> I know (sudo or Su = root) but i wont log with root user
[02:10] <coldopm> Gnome Panel. Anyone have any idea how to restore defaults??
[02:10] <pac1> ttmontoya, reply to the direct chat.  I can talk you through it if you want.
[02:10] <dmsuperman> but for the average user, getting in IRC only to get support, pidgin handlesi t just fine
[02:10] <sCOTTo> anabolix: yes but what about OPENING PDF, EDITING and saving ?
[02:10] <MTecknology> punzada, I was going to try to remake pidgin until I realized they had a CLI version of it. That's precisely what I wanted to make. :P
[02:10] <punzada> Simonft, , it does, but it's not pretty when you're on as many networks as I am :)
[02:10] <Simonft> punzada: ah :)
[02:10] <astro76> axplus: man sudo_root will answer all your questions
[02:10] <punzada> and, yeah, the purple base is amazing MTecknology
[02:10] <punzada> :)
[02:10] <mklebel> anybody install 8.04 with raid0?
[02:11] <yosyp> Has anyone installed 8.04 on usb with persistent?
[02:11] <taquitos> hi, can pm somebody about installing vmware server in ubuntu 8.04
[02:11] <MTecknology> punzada, I do wish it had about 4 more years development on it though
[02:11] <anabolix> scotto: not sure i know what you mean?
[02:11] <MTecknology> taquitos, I just did it today
[02:11] <pac1> newbie_, try lingot. Lingot is a musical instrument tuner. It's accurate, easy to use, and highly configurable. Originally conceived to tune electric guitars,t can now be used to tune any instrument.
[02:11] <MTecknology> go for it
[02:11] <arrrghhh> can someone help me with bluetooth?  i use kubuntu and i can connect to my speakers, but i can't figure out how to switch the audio to the external speakers.  i'd be willing to try gnome if it works better...
[02:11] <HardHatPat> no one knows how to set a network card at 1/2 duplex?
[02:11] <fde> coldopm: there is "Menu Bar" "Notification Area" "Volume Control" "Clock" across the top... then "Show Desktop" "Window List" "Workspace Switcher" and "Trash" across the bottom...
[02:12] <arrrghhh> HardHatPat, ifconfig can do it.  just read the man page.
[02:12] <sCOTTo> anabolix: -- Use it to open the PDF file, then EDIT the pdf file and save changes as the original...
[02:12] <fde> coldopm: Just right click the panel and "Add to panel" and choose those from the list...
[02:12] <user__> can i run 32bit vmware on my 64bit ubuntu?
[02:12]  * sCOTTo found pdfedit
[02:13] <ackstorm> user1_, you mean a 32 bit server, or 32 bit os?
[02:13] <pac1> ttmontoya, what are you connecting with?  are you on linux?
[02:13] <user__> ackstorm, i'm on ubuntu 8.04 (64bit) and i want to install vmware but i've vmware(32bit) version. can i install and use it on this 64bit ubuntu?
[02:13] <StevenX> how do i turn of the beeps in ubuntu? For example, when I hit backspace and there is "no more room" to go.
[02:13] <ttmontoya> Im using Ububtu
[02:14] <MTecknology> taquitos, you going to pm me?
[02:14] <Starnestommy> user__: I think so
[02:14] <ttmontoya> pac1:Im using Ububtu
[02:14] <taquitos> i did... :(
[02:14] <fde> StevenX: System > Preferences > Sound ... "System Beep" tab.
[02:14] <StevenX> fde, thank you.
[02:14] <MTecknology> taquitos, you need to be registered to services
[02:14] <ttmontoya> pac1: why
[02:14] <Starnestommy> MTecknology, taquitos: PMs from unregistered users are blocked by default
[02:15] <taquitos> argh
[02:15] <taquitos> k, hold on
[02:15] <MTecknology> Starnestommy, I allowed them once, but not for long :P
[02:15] <amenado> HardHatPat-> look into using miitool
[02:15] <shawnb> went with SciTE!
[02:16] <arrrghhh> kbluetooth connects to my speakers no problem, and keeps the connection.  now how do i transfer the audio to the external speakers?
[02:16] <jsoftw> arrrghhh: audio cable
[02:16] <dmsuperman> I'm in ##pfsense, but it appears to be empty, and this could possibly be a linux issue. I'm trying to get a samba share between 2 interfaces in a pfSense box. I have one PC (actually a PDA) with a debian based OS on it, and I've got my Ubuntu desktop. They're connected to different interfaces on my pfSense Router. Whenever I try to connect to network shares from the PDA to the desktop, it says it fails to mount (i'm using mount
[02:16] <dmsuperman> -t //MYPC /mnt/test)
[02:16] <ipodman715> just trying out the live cd, pretty neat
[02:16] <jsoftw> ipodman715: super
[02:16] <ipodman715> :)
[02:16] <taquitos> mtkecknology pm sent
[02:17] <arrrghhh> jsoftw, you're retarded.  the whole point of using BT is so i don't need a cable.  if i wanted to use an audio cable, i would.
[02:17] <amenado> whose got Xen working? which version do you have running as I can not create initrd.img with 2.6.16
[02:18] <jsoftw> arrrghhh: awww, you hurt my feelings.
[02:18] <amenado> arrrghhh-> be nice, no one owes you anything
[02:18] <arrrghhh> amenado, of course not.  but i asked for help and he gave me a very rude answer, so i responded with the same respect he gave me.
[02:19] <Shpook> How easy is it to use the Ubuntu install CD to recover information off of a windows HDD? Would I have to compile a special kernel or some type of magic?
[02:19] <ttmontoya> pac1: are you still here
[02:20] <AnswerGuy> arrrghhh So his "rude" answer is a good reason to escalate things into an even more hostile more obviously rude level?  That'll help. NOT
[02:20] <arrrghhh> Shpook, it's actually pretty easy.  i think ntfs-3g is even installed by default so you just need to mount the drive
[02:20] <ipodman715> yeah
[02:20] <pac1> ttmontoya, yes.
[02:20] <pac1> ttmontoya, do you know how to do a dcc chat?
[02:20] <ipodman715> I want to try to recover a drive as well
[02:20] <ttmontoya> pac1: no
[02:20] <ttmontoya> pac1: sorry man
[02:21] <Shpook> arrrghhh: Sounds good to me....that's if the drive will allow me. From past experience, I would say clicking hard drives aren't a good thing. Thanks :-D
[02:21] <arrrghhh> AnswerGuy, eh.  you have to give respect to get it.  he gave me no such thing.  what do you care anyways?  you encourage his arrogance?
[02:21] <pac1> ttmontoya, which chat client are you using?
[02:21] <arrrghhh> Shpook, yea... probably busted.
[02:21] <ttmontoya> X chat Gnome
[02:21] <haisam> helllo guys
[02:22] <ipodman715> hmm I found this in the help:  While other file systems (such as NTFS and HFS+) are usable, they may require additional steps to allow you to use them with Ubuntu. If possible, try to use the FAT format for your removable disk.
[02:22] <darkcrab> the command to install emerald is sudo emerald -- replace right?
[02:22] <ipodman715> but ntfs should work just fine
[02:22] <fde> !attitude | arrrghhh
[02:22] <Starnestommy> darkcrab: that's just to start it
[02:22] <hsdpa> um.. ok, so I have setup my 3g modem now.. connected to the net et all.. how do I make ubuntu use that as default for the time being, and how do I switch back to wifi as default when I want to stop using it? :) say the 3g modem is hso0 device, and wifi is wlan0 ..
[02:23] <pac1> ok. find my name over on the left and right click on it select open dialog window.
[02:23] <arrrghhh> fde, if you don't have an answer... simply don't answer.  why would you answer with something like "use an audio cable"... sheesh everyone encourages arrogance here.  i just asked for some help with BT.
[02:23] <darkcrab> I already have it installed, I am just trying to replace metacity with emerald
[02:23] <pac1> then select offer dcc chat.
[02:23] <ttmontoya> pac1: was that what you were asking
[02:24] <arrrghhh> darkcrab, i believe you're very close... "sudo emerald --replace" is it - make sure there's no space between the -- and replace.
[02:24] <pac1> ttmontoya, yeah.  two topics at once... x window server and xchat
[02:24] <bullgard4> What does 'peer-based' mean in the sentence: "Gnutella is a peer-based file-sharing protocol that allows a user running a Gnutella client to search for and download files from other Gnutella users"?
[02:24] <pac1> ttmontoya, can ya handle it?
[02:24] <ttmontoya> x server
[02:24] <DarrenCT> anybody know how to install "Dapper system sounds" in Hardy??.. I heard that you "should" install them to give the classic feel.
[02:24] <ttmontoya> lets see
[02:24] <Starnestommy> bullgard4: it means that instead of connecting to a server, it connects to other users' PCs to share things
[02:24] <Shpook> bullgard4: It means that the files are hosted on all the client computers
[02:25] <fde> arrrghhh: They were attempting to assist you, everyone here is a volunteer, your attitude ensures you won't be getting help form those more knowledgeable... if you'd like to pay us, we'd be far more prompt in answering your questions, until then, please do not be hostile with those attempting to assist you.
[02:25] <bullgard4> Starnestommy, Shpook: Thank you very much for explaining.
[02:25] <slidge> i'm trying to add a loopback device loop8, but ubuntu doesnt want to accept the fact its there
[02:25] <slidge> im using mknod to create the device
[02:26] <SeaPhor> amen fde
[02:26] <arrrghhh> fde, that was NOT an attempt to assist me, but belittle me.  i don't see how you say that was helpful.
[02:26] <slidge> when i sudo losetup /dev/loop8 /xen-images/internal/disk_image.img it says "/dev/loop8: no such device or address"
[02:26] <fde> arrrghhh: That's not the point.
[02:26] <arrrghhh> and maybe someone would pay you if you were actually helpful.
[02:26] <bod_> bazhang, you about m8?
[02:26] <Jburrke> does anyone here have any experience in using a graphics tablet with ubuntu?
[02:26] <pac1> ttmontoya, the more information you give us, the better.   X11 takes alot of the processor.
[02:28] <arrrghhh> fde, ok, thanks.
[02:28] <babolat> in subversion, i get 'PROPFIND request failed' http://paste.ubuntu.com/11765/
[02:28] <grockit> Its funny because the machine performs worse that a core 2 duo laptop and an iMac running Ubuntu.
[02:29] <STSX> What's the best way to disable "Dansguardian" from loading on startup without uninstalling it? It's set to load in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory.
[02:29] <ttmontoya> pac1: ok all I want is to fix the resolution which is 800x600 its too bog i hate it
[02:29] <Starnestommy> STSX: sudo update-rc.d -f dansguardian remove
[02:29] <ttmontoya> pac1: ok all I want is to fix the resolution which is 800x600 its too big i hate it, sorry
[02:29] <amenado> STSX initctl list dansguardian?
[02:29] <bazhang> arrrghhh, please refrain from name calling
[02:30] <arrrghhh> bazhang, where did that come from?
[02:30] <pac1> arrrghh, keep the questions and comments technical and you'll be ok. Comment on character flaws and us techies ignore you.  We know we have character flaws...
[02:30] <fde> ttmontoya: Are there any more resolutions available in System > Preferences > Screen Resolution?
[02:30] <^Tech-Help^> lol
[02:30] <ian_liu88> Which is better? 64 bits processor or 32?
[02:30] <ian_liu88> for Ubuntu
[02:30] <bazhang> !coc | arrrghhh
[02:30] <Jburrke> does anyone know how to set up a graphics tablet in ubuntu?
[02:30] <arrrghhh> pac1, didn't realize i was.
[02:30] <ttmontoya> pac1: only the 640x?
[02:30] <pac1> fde, ttmontoya, that 's the first thing to check.
[02:30] <Starnestommy> ian_liu88: a 64-bit processor is usually better
[02:30] <ttmontoya> I did
[02:31] <fde> pac1: Hence my first reply to him  :P
[02:31] <babolat> ian_liu88: aside from being able to hold idiotic amounts of ram, they're basically the same
[02:31] <pac1> ttmontoya,  I had the same problem yesterday.
[02:31] <ian_liu88> Starnestommy: But, isn't it known to have more bugs?
[02:31] <grockit> Why would Xorg be really slow when running VNC?
[02:31] <STSX> Starnestommy, amenado: Thanks much, and is there by chance a way to do it from the GUI?
[02:31] <Starnestommy> ian_liu88: but the 32-bit version of Ubuntu, which works on 64-bit processors, has less bugs
[02:31] <ttmontoya> I have only two options
[02:31] <ikaruga2091> hi all, what's the correct way to invoke an xterm from udev rules?
[02:31] <arrrghhh> i'm glad everyone defends arrogance.  that's the linux way!
[02:31] <ttmontoya> did you fix it
[02:31] <bazhang> arrrghhh, please stop
[02:31] <fde> ttmontoya: Unfortunately experience tells me that the new Xserver doesn't like manual configuration.
[02:31] <pac1> ttmontoya,  you need to do a bit of figuring out how x is configured on your laptop.  You may be able to increase the resolution without changing the driver.
[02:31] <jsoftw> What are you so wired up about arrrghhh
[02:32] <fde> bazhang: Could you please +b him for 10 mins so he can relax?
[02:32] <arrrghhh> bazhang, i'm done
[02:32] <Veinor> For some reason, my sounds sounds like crap now.
[02:32] <arrrghhh> jsoftw, it's not even worth it.
[02:32] <b0x> google.com
[02:32] <ttmontoya> HOW?
[02:32] <Jburrke> can anyone help me set up my graphics tablet on ubuntu? D:
[02:32] <ikaruga2091> does anyone know the correct way to invoke a terminal from udev rules?
[02:32] <ubuntu_> #ubuntu-es
[02:32] <zChris> well it was a pretty stupid answer :)
[02:32] <babolat> !ask | Jburrke
[02:33] <pac1> ttmontoya, ah... you may need to go poking about in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:33] <Dr_willis> grockit,  vnc is a bit slow - in how its done. Theres a few tweaks you can do to speed it up dependong on exactly which vncserver you are using.
[02:33] <Jburrke> ><
[02:33] <Jburrke> chats going so fast, figured it may have been over looked
[02:33] <Veinor> Weirdly, it only does it when stuff like music is playing. Pure tones sound fine.
[02:33] <jairo> my video driver as ATI
[02:33] <pac1> ttmontoya, its easy to mess things up, but if you have a backup of that file as it is right now, you can always get back to where you want it.
[02:33] <grockit> Dr_willis: Both VNC and NX really bog the machine down
[02:33] <Jburrke> usually if someone doesnt know they would say so >__>
[02:33] <babolat> i know this is a repetition.. but please, have a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/11765/ it's a difficulty im having with SVN
[02:33] <jairo> and run the glest straategy game]
[02:34] <grockit> Dr_willis: Its like I'm working remotely
[02:34] <fde> Jburrke: Many here are used to it, and all you need to worry about is text that is highlighted like this  :)
[02:34] <pac1> ttmontoya, use the cp command to copy the file to your home directory
[02:34] <grockit> Dr_willis: What sort of tweaks do you usually do with Ubuntu's standard vnc server?
[02:34] <Jburrke> not highlited.. using pidgin to get here XD
[02:34] <Dr_willis> grockit,  try a much lighter desktopp/window manager.  I guess. check to be sure only  the vnc process you want to run are running. I normally DONT share the 'current/visible' desktop - that can bog things down. I dont use the gnome 'share desktop' feature.
[02:34] <Jburrke> but, i hear you
[02:35] <docgnome> how do I make X not start by default?
[02:35] <jairo> and when i click to mouse close the window, do you undertand my problem ???
[02:35] <Dr_willis> grockit,  reducing the # of colors, res can help
[02:35] <bullgard4> Starnestommy: Is there a difference between a 'peer-based' protocol and a 'peer-to-peer' protocol? (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer)
[02:35] <Veinor> This seems to happen  no matter what sound driver I use :/
[02:35] <Jburrke> newish question
[02:35] <grockit> Dr_willis: Thanks
[02:35] <Jburrke> if i link to a page that has directions on how to install my devices drivers, could one of you help me through it?
[02:35] <babolat> oh well.. thanks anyway :)
[02:36] <Jburrke> like i said, the terminal makes no sense to me XD
[02:36] <alexvd> i have to run gutsy and it has the older version of lirc 0.8.2, if i do a upgrade will that allow me to get the newest version of lirc 0.8.3?
[02:36] <arrrghhh> grockit, i've heard x11vnc is much more efficient if your connection is slow.
[02:36] <darkcrab> i keep putting emerald --replace in the terminal, and it starts emerald, but when I reset the computer, I am back to metacity, any ideas?
[02:36] <Starnestommy> bullgard4: they're pretty much the same
[02:36] <bullgard4> Starnestommy: ok.
[02:36] <fde> Jburrke: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom might be of some assistance... what does 'lspci | grep -i graphics' return though?
[02:37] <fde> Jburrke: Tablets are just a different input method, graphics aren't part of that  ;)
[02:37] <grockit> arrrghhh: Thanks. I actually have a T1 connection. Its processing the screen thats slow for me.
[02:37] <iXneonXi> help, can anyone tell me if you can overlay a Clock while a screensaver is active?
[02:37] <Dr_willis> grockit,  normally when i vnc into a machine i use vnc4server and have it run as minimal of a desktop as i can in a 'virtual vnc only' desktop. Ive heard that FreeNX is much faster. but ive not iused freenx.
[02:37] <Jburrke> fde: nah, i know.. they're just called a "graphics tablet" usually..
[02:37] <Jburrke> fde: do you want me to just run that code through a terminal?
[02:38] <Invisionfree> Im using Konqueror, and about:plugins says there's a java plugin, but java doesn't work .. Why?
[02:38] <fde> grockit: Many report FreeNX to have good performance, of course X11 will take up a lot of resources, it's the parent of every GUI on the system.
[02:38] <fde> Jburrke: yes please.
[02:38] <Scunizi> What ever you do don't use Remote Desktop Viewer to view your own desktop.. you'll play havoc trying to get out.  It's like looking into a mirror that has a mirror behind you.. interesting actually
[02:38] <Jburrke> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[02:38] <Jburrke> 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[02:38] <Jburrke> what i got >__>
[02:38] <pac1> ttmontoya, and you get logged out like i just did.  Don't panic it's just a logout and log back in.   Should happen in a few seconds.
[02:38] <fde> Jburrke: What issues are you having with that card?
[02:39] <Jburrke> not sure of any issues Oo
[02:39] <grockit> fde: Its weird that NX is *much* slower on a 8-core than a 2-core.
[02:39] <fde> Jburrke: It _should_ be one of the best supported cards.
 put emerald --replace where it says "command" in the window decoration section of compiz settings
[02:39] <fde> Jburrke: Then what did you need assistance with with it?
[02:39] <Jburrke> i'm simply trying to get my tablet to work.. it's recognized when i plug it in but i cant move the mouse and a click = "backspace" on firefox
[02:40] <ttmontoya> pac1: ok
[02:40] <Lincooled> hi everybody :)
[02:40] <pac1> ttmontoya, if you've made changes to your xorg.conf, the server may not like them.  It will crash on startup.  You'll be left with a terminal window.  Again... don't panic.  You have your backup file right in your home directory so you can copy it back and try again.
[02:40] <Invisionfree> Im using Konqueror, and about:plugins says there's a java plugin, but java doesn't work .. Why? Anyone? Highlight me please!
[02:40] <Jburrke> fde: http://www.geniusnet.com/geniusOnline/online.portal?_nfpb=true&productPortlet_actionOverride=%2Fportlets%2FproductArea%2Fcategory%2FqueryPro&_windowLabel=productPortlet&productPortletproductId=341204&_pageLabel=productPage&test=portlet-action
[02:40] <Jburrke> that's my tablet
[02:40] <Veinor> The sound on my hardy box is coming out heavily, heavily distorted.
[02:40] <fde> Jburrke: Great... but what isn't working that you need assistance with?
[02:41] <fde> Jburrke: From what you've said, it should just work by default?
[02:41] <arrrghhh> Veinor, have you tried turning the volume on the input side down?
[02:41] <pac1> ttmontoya, it helps if you have another computer you can log in and get to xchat with, in case you muck up something bad and need help getting things straightened out.
[02:41] <Jburrke> fde: it's not though.. i plug it in and all that works is the click button which is read by the computer as "backspace" on firefox
[02:41] <DarrenCT> anyone hear of installing dapper system sounds?
[02:41] <Sergeant_Pony> Flannel you here?
[02:41] <pac1> ttmontoya,  you'll also probably have to do some rtfm'ing
[02:41] <Jburrke> i cant move the mouse at all.. so i cant test to see if pressure/tilt even work
[02:42] <Veinor> oh, fixed it!
[02:42] <arrrghhh> your welcome lol
[02:42] <pac1> I'd suggest looking at a wikipedia article on the x server for starters, then try reading about the various options for ati drivers.
[02:42] <DarrenCT> FreshUbuntu anyone???
[02:42] <fde> Jburrke: try installing wacom-tools ?
[02:42] <ttmontoya> pac1: rtfm'ing what is this
[02:42] <martin_> Hi i just installed 8.04 and im wondering is there a way to run dual monitor?
[02:42] <ringer> to manage my drives, i need to be using gparted from the livecd correct?
[02:42] <Jburrke> okay.. is there a guide to walk me through that?
[02:43] <pac1> rtfm stands for "read the fine manual"
[02:43] <Jburrke> like i said, ultimate linux nabb
[02:43] <Lincooled> someone know a guide in C/C++ for an open source project for a beginner ?
[02:43] <fde> Jburrke: via 'sudo aptitude install wacom-tools' ... it recommends something vital  :)
[02:43] <Jburrke> pac1: lol fine
[02:43] <jairo> o
[02:43] <pac1> s/fine/ f word of your choice/
[02:43] <Jburrke> pac1: XD
[02:44] <Jburrke> fde: thanks, it's installing..
[02:44] <pac1> XD?
[02:44] <STSX> I have to download about 180 MB worth of stuff in Synaptic, and I'm wondering if I can start it now, quit in a while, and continue with it tomorrow? Is this possible?
[02:44] <slidge> in case anyone was curious, you have to put this in /etc/modprobe.d/loop.local:
[02:44] <slidge> options loop max_loop=255
[02:44] <WIDESPREADpanic> what should i use to edit css website in ubuntu?
[02:44] <slidge> then rmmod and modprobe loop
[02:44] <Jburrke> fde: when it's done shal i just plug it in and see if it works, or is there a bit of configuring i should do?
[02:44] <Jburrke> pac1: it's a smiley.. like :) but a bit of a laughing one.. XD
[02:44] <Jburrke> pac1: :P
[02:45] <fde> Jburrke: That is a tool to configure things... but it might "Just Work(tm)" when that's installed, we'll see
[02:45] <wobblywu> I'm trying to make my multimedia keys (so, XF86AudioRaiseVolume) to control PCM volume instead of Master... don't even know where to start, though
[02:45] <wobblywu> minus 'to'
[02:45] <Jburrke> fde: nope.. same effect
[02:45] <iXneonXi> anyone in here know how to get a clock that displays inside a screensaver
[02:45] <pac1> ttmontoya, another thing to do is simply print out the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and take a look at it.  You can also find samples of it on the web.  Maybe even one that can be used with your particular laptop.
[02:45] <D-Unit> any1 here have folding@home running properly?
[02:45] <fde> Jburrke: Is there a new entry in System > Preferences or System > Administration now?
[02:46] <Lincooled> WIDESPREADpanic: did you try bluefish editor?
[02:46] <andresj> I know this is not #svn, but I was told it was not possible. I probably asked the wrong way though :)... How do I convert a SVN snapshot (say, a tarball with no .svn dirs) to a SVN checkout so that I can update it?
[02:46] <sCOTTo> pdfedit is rubbish
[02:46] <Jburrke> fde: not sure
[02:46] <fde> andresj: Ubuntu directly forked SVN for Bazaar, so you're really asking the wrong place  ;)
[02:46] <Jburrke> fde: do you have any idea what it would be named?
[02:46] <pac1> ttmontoya, when I'm struggling with something, I'm never afraid of breaking anything.  (its mine, I get to keep the pieces and put them back together anyway)
[02:47] <fde> Jburrke: Something about Tablets I'd assume
[02:47] <Dr_willis> iXneonXi,  check the package manager for other screensavers. I recall one or 2 with clocks in there.
[02:47] <Jburrke> fde: nope, dont see anything =/
[02:47] <fidelio> hi.  Have problems with printer setup.  CUPS recognize printer and test page is ok. CAnnot print with any program
[02:47] <D-Unit> does hardy use more system ressources than gutsy cuz on package of hardy it says 386mb ram and on gutsy and below it says 256mb
[02:47] <iXneonXi> Dr_willis: i'm looking for something that works with all screensavers - I enjoy my Flurry, I just wish I could have a clock somewhere
[02:48] <Dr_willis> iXneonXi,  all screensavers? Never noticed a tool that can put a clock on top of EVERY screensaver. There are clock-screensavers however.
[02:48] <prakriti> Does anybody use dia?  Can it export to pdf?
[02:49] <fde> Jburrke: dpkg -L wacom-tools | grep bin ?
[02:49] <Jburrke> fde: i have no idea what you just said.. you want me to run that? Oo
[02:49] <fde> prakriti: Every application that can print can export to PDF.
[02:49] <arrrghhh> D-Unit, 384 is 'recommended' for live-cd usage.  even on gutsy (as i recall)
[02:49]  * sCOTTo just needs a proper pdf editing tool!
[02:49] <fde> Jburrke: yup
[02:49] <iXneonXi> Dr_willis: I'll try looking at the Flurry source and I'll post a question on the mailing list or forum
[02:50] <Dr_willis> iXneonXi,  never heard of flurry.

[02:50] <Jburrke> fde: what i got
[02:50] <iXneonXi> Dr_willis: ah, it's the default OS X screensaver ported to Linux
[02:50] <TokenBad> hey folks...I went out and got an old computer to put ubuntu on...but everytime try to load the live cd...when it gets to loading the gui it says signal out of range..anyone know how to fix this?
[02:50] <iXneonXi> Dr_willis: quite beautiful I find
[02:50] <fde> prakriti: Print as usual... but pick the PDF export from the list of printers.
[02:50] <fde> Jburrke: try running xsetwacom
[02:50] <STSX> If nobody knows how to interrupt then continue a download in Synaptic, is it possible with apt-get or something similar? Or if I could get a direct link to the files I'm downloading, I could use a download manager.
[02:51] <Jburrke> fde: got a lot of junk
[02:51] <bazhang> TokenBad, boot in safe mode; then down the screen res/fix the drivers
[02:51] <Dr_willis> iXneonXi,  there is flury for linux at the flury home page i just googled. :)
[02:51] <rod0009> does anyone have the intel 950GMA video card?
[02:51] <Dr_willis> iXneonXi,  Tobias Sargeant has produced a version of Flurry for all you GNU/Linux fans (as part of the xscreensaver distribution). Get it  here.
[02:51] <gnomer> good evening
[02:51] <fde> Jburrke: pastebin it for me please
[02:51] <ttmontoya> pacl: it says that i cant, You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file.

[02:51] <Jburrke> fde: is this the collaboration tool? Oo
[02:51] <TokenBad> bazhang I tried in safe mode..did same thing

[02:51] <fidelio> hi.  Have problems with printer setup.  CUPS recognize printer and test page is ok. CAnnot print with any program
[02:51] <pac1> ttmontoya, info on ati can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[02:52] <bazhang> Jburrke, pastebin it please
[02:52] <fiyawerx> does anyone actually have a working weather applet? none of the ones i find actually connect and get the weather
[02:52] <iXneonXi> Dr_willis: yah, but I don't think his version has a clock. I may email him to see if it's an easy mod
[02:52] <fde> Jburrke: Do not paste in channel... I didn't specify that explicitly, apologies... I said to use pastebin though...
[02:52] <tinker> I'm on Ubuntu 8.04.  I want to test a live Ubuntu CD.  My systems doesn't seem to be booting from a CD.  How do I get into my bios or is there another way?
[02:52] <pac1> ttmontoya, is this of any help?
[02:52] <poty> can anyone tell me how to install emesene themes ¿?
[02:52] <bazhang> tinker, get into bios and choose boot from cd
[02:52] <arrrghhh> tinker, every bios is different, on boot the bios tells you how
[02:52] <fde> Jburrke: You can talk again now.
[02:52] <Jburrke> eh..
[02:53] <niriven> server irc.freenode.net
[02:53] <tinker> okay I will reboot and watch for messages
[02:53] <rootyrooty> Hi,
[02:53] <Jburrke> what's pastebin? ><
[02:53] <rootyrooty> Hi, how do I delete a mysql databaseÉ

[02:53] <rod0009> (21:51:19) rod0009: does anyone have the intel 950GMA video card?
[02:53] <TokenBad> bazhang I tried in safe mode..did same thing
[02:53] <MTecknology> taquitos, you around?
[02:53] <lopin> Anyone know how to stream shoutcast in linux?  I have the server running on the computer downstairs, but no way to get music to it...
[02:53] <Jburrke> sorry bout that =/
[02:54] <ttmontoya> pacl: You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. how do I get permission
[02:54] <cathartia> hello - I hope you can help me
[02:54] <bazhang> Jburrke, please dont do it again
[02:54] <poty> can anyone tell me how to install emesene themes ¿?
[02:54] <pac1> ttmontoya, sorry I can't be more specific, Its been a few years since used the r128 driver.
[02:54] <Jburrke> bazhang: i wont, was an accident.. sorry
[02:54] <cathartia> I'm having a strange issue with my wireless configuration.
[02:55] <armadill0> Hi I am trying to install do the alternate encrypted kubuntu intstall, and I'm having some trouble with the partitioner.  It will let me set a partition as 'encrypted disk' but won't let me mount / on it.  How can I set this HD up with encrypted kubuntu?
[02:55] <fde> Jburrke: I'd recommend 'xsetwacom -x' probably, as I don't think the rest will be enlightening to you... ensure the tablet is connected to the machine though...
[02:55] <martin_> hi could anyone tell me how to setup dual monitors with an nvidia 8800gts gpu
[02:55] <pac1> ttmontoya,  Aha!  the permissions problem.  I ran into that on Saturday when I was getting my xorg.conf up to speed.  Here's what you do...
[02:56] <Jburrke> fde: i think the problem is that i do not have a wacom tablet.. take a look at this link
[02:56] <Dr_willis> martin_,  install and run the 2 not installed by default nvidia config tools.
[02:56] <ttmontoya> pacl: ok you told me to modified the xorg.conf file but it dont let me , do I have to login in root
[02:56] <Jburrke> fde: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen
[02:56] <billenium> !lamp
[02:56] <Jordan_U> ttmontoya, No, use sudo
[02:56] <cathartia> all of the parameters look correct in /etc/network/interfaces
[02:56] <Dr_willis> martin_,  theres one that does NOT have a X in the name. it has a gui to set up the monitors/layout. , the othe is what i use to enable twinview support in the xorg.conf file.
[02:56] <WIDESPREADpanic> what should i use to edit css website in ubuntu?
[02:56] <Jordan_U> ttmontoya, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:57] <pac1> ttmontoya, First go read about file permissions on linux if you haven't already.  You want to be able to set the permissions on the xorg.conf files and on the directory above them so you can do what you want from your login, without using sudo all the time.
[02:57] <martin_> dr_willis install what and how, ive got about 1hr experience on this OS
[02:57] <cathartia> but ifup ath0 fails unless I do an "iwconfig ath0 essid networkname" 1st
[02:57] <fde> Jburrke: Do you see your device in that list?
[02:57] <jrib> WIDESPREADpanic: your favorite text editor?
[02:57] <docgnome> WIDESPREADpanic: emacs or vim :-p
[02:57] <Jburrke> fde: yes
[02:57] <arrrghhh> WIDESPREADpanic, a text editor, yes.
[02:57] <cathartia> this means that the cmputer won't boot and joing the network on its own - which is exactly what I want
[02:57] <fde> Jburrke: Ok, then follow the guide there, and tell me whether it gets it working  :)
[02:57] <pac1> ttmontoya,  but first note what the permissions are before you start.  Be sure to reset them that way when you're done.  Leaving config files with open permissions is not such a good thing.
[02:57] <Jburrke> fde: but i dont understand that guide =/
[02:58] <sunexplodes> quick question: Hardy by default sets the inactive window decorations to be transparent, which I don't like, but I can't find the option to disable it in the Compiz Settings Manager... anyone know where I can find it?
[02:58] <Dr_willis> martin_,   one of the commands to do is lilke ' sudo nvidia-config --twinview'  (that may not be the right command name),,  then restart the X server that should make both moniotrs start working. then run the OTHER tool to  tweak the monitors.
[02:58] <tinker> Okay, I rebooted my computer looking for directions in how to get into my bios.  There weren't any, just "ESC" to get out of grub.
[02:58] <Dr_willis> martin_,  not on a Linux box - so i cant verify the proper commands.
[02:58] <fde> Jburrke: everything in the boxes is stuff to type, and requires no thinking... everything explains what you're doing at that point.
[02:58] <fidelio> HALLO -- Have problems with printer setup.  CUPS recognizes printer and test page is ok but cannot print with any program
[02:58] <martin_> dr_willis sorry you really lost me, and how do i do that
[02:58] <pac1> martin_, the gotcha in this is if you have a kvm...
[02:58] <Jburrke> fde: i'll give it a shot.. where it says "general info" though i dont have any of those ubuntu versions
[02:58] <amenado> cathartia-> paste in pastebin your interfaces file
[02:58] <jrib> ttmontoya, pac1: that's not the proper way to edit system-wide config files really.  You want to use sudo
[02:58] <Jburrke> i've got 8.04 or whatever
[02:58] <fiyawerx> where do you set the number of desktops?
[02:59] <fde> Jburrke: It looks complicated, but I promise it's really not, just follow that guide please.
[02:59] <Dr_willis> martin_,  from the shell. If you are lost in shell  ussage.  You may want to spend an hr reading a few shell/bash tutorials.
[02:59] <Odd-rationale> cathartia: you could consider putting the lines you want in the /etc/rc.local file
[02:59] <rootyrooty> Hi, how do I delete a mysql databaseÉ
[02:59] <Dr_willis> !twinview | martin_
[02:59] <Jordan_U> tinker, Usually you have to hit something like the delete key *before* you see GRUB
[02:59] <cathartia> What I mean to say is: /etc/network/interfaces correctly specifies the network name - but it doesn't get used unless I manually use iwconfig
[02:59] <fde> Jburrke: The guide needs to be updated is all...
[02:59] <Jburrke> fde: sure, but what about my ubuntu version.. ><
[02:59] <Jburrke> fde: so just follow it to the letter?
[02:59] <tinker> Jordan_U: which key should I hit?
[02:59] <rycole> if i have a python app that tries to mount a filesystem, and i do 'sudo python', and manually call the function, would this be enough to mount the fs? it doesn't appear to be mounting anything.
[02:59] <fde> Jburrke: yup
[02:59] <martin_> ok, thx guys ill check that out
[02:59] <cathartia> what is /etc/rc.local   ?
[02:59] <Nalidixic> good evening everyone. question about apt-get.. if there are programs I want to get but don't know the name of the package, is there a place to search?
[02:59] <amenado> cathartia-> paste in pastebin your interfaces file..lets see if anything we can spot
[02:59] <Jburrke> fde: okay, give me a minute and i'll be back.. thanks :D
[02:59] <pac1> jrib, ttmontoya, jrib is right, but I always break the rules.  As long as everyting is set back to the right permissions, would you be ok with it jrib?
[02:59] <Jordan_U> tinker, Depends on your BIOS unfortunately
[02:59] <arrrghhh> tinker, try a bunch - f2, del, any of the f keys.
[02:59] <cathartia> amenado:  what is paste-bin  ?
[02:59] <tinker> ugh
[02:59] <Odd-rationale> cathartia: it is a file that runs on boot
[03:00] <jrib> !apt > Nalidixic (read the private message from ubottu)
[03:00] <amenado> !paste | cathartia
[03:00] <Jordan_U> tinker, It will usually flash quickly across the screen when you boot
[03:00] <jrib> Nalidixic: use Synaptic or Add/Remove if you want a gui
[03:00] <arrrghhh> tinker, that's why i said look for the message.  they almost always say *something* like "hit del to enter setup"
[03:00] <fiyawerx> tinker, hold down any key, then when you get the key stuck message it should say like f2 to enter setup
[03:00] <cathartia> odd:  so I can just do an iwconfig in there - problem solved
[03:00] <obijywk> Nalidixic, packages.ubuntu.com
[03:00] <bazhang> Nalidixic, packages.ubuntu.com or apt-cache search keyword
[03:00] <Odd-rationale> cathartia: you could try...
[03:00] <jrib> pac1: no, I don't really see the point to be honest
[03:00] <tinker> fiyawerx:  okay I will try that
[03:00] <Nalidixic> ty
[03:00] <fiyawerx> tinker, what kind ofm achine?
[03:00] <fiyawerx> he could have just googled :-\
[03:01] <cathartia> amenado:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/11771/
[03:01] <fiyawerx> dells are usually like f12
[03:01] <pac1> jrib, maybe I'm making this too hard... I just hate typing my password over and over.
[03:01] <jrib> pac1: you would need to sudo to change permissions anyway and the likelihood you mess something up increases
[03:01] <fiyawerx> anyone know how to set extra desktops?
[03:01] <cathartia> odd:  I need the command to be SUDOd
[03:01] <pac1> jrib, ttmontoya,  listen to jrib.
[03:01] <bazhang> fiyawerx, in ubuntu or compiz for cube
[03:01] <Odd-rationale> cathartia: that is ok. rc.local runs as root on boot up
[03:01] <jrib> pac1: you shouldn't be editing files that often that it becomes a burden.  In any case, you can get a root shell with 'sudo -i' for those special occasions
[03:01] <fiyawerx> bazhang, both, actually, i only have 2
[03:01] <cathartia> odd:  that sounds like a good hack for this
[03:02] <cathartia> amenado:  do you see anything wrong with my interfaces file?
[03:02] <fiyawerx> bazhang, might actually switch over to kde soon tho, gnome is gettign on my nerves again
[03:02] <pac1> jrib, thanks.  I didn't know that.
[03:02] <rickJames> I am trying to run the 8.04 live cd and once i get past hte options i get "out of range" on my monitor. after attempting to change the vga settigns manually, i've come to ask for suggestions
[03:02] <Jburrke> fde: i'm at the part where it says to note the product of the tablet
[03:02] <fiyawerx> i really like how gvfs handles remote locations but eh
[03:02] <cathartia> like I said - it has the network name in there but when I do an iwconfig after an ifup the network name is blank until I manually set it with iwconfig
[03:02] <amenado> cathartia-> you are using static, am not sure even with auth ath0 would initiate an association to AP
[03:02] <cathartia> then all is well
[03:02] <taquitos> MTecknology : still there?
[03:02] <bazhang> fiyawerx, cube is in general virtual horizontal desktops set to 4 (in ccsm) in ubuntu right click on workplace switcher and up the number
[03:02] <Jburrke> fde: mine's the exact same as his.. so do those commands just go into the same terminal?
[03:02] <user__> is there an application like netlimiter for linux?
[03:03] <MTecknology> taquitos, you're back now?
[03:03] <thingfish> rickJames: what all have you done?
[03:03] <taquitos> yes
[03:03] <MTecknology> taquitos, I PM'd you
[03:03] <cathartia> amenado:  I don't understand - please explain
[03:03] <TokenBad> when at command prompt in live cd..how you start gui?
[03:03] <taquitos> hmm
[03:03] <rickJames> thingfish, other than the vga (f4) option nothing. i'm at a loss
[03:03] <Gestapospank> Whats the kernel boot command to disable sda from probing the CD-ROM in ubuntu?
[03:03] <Jburrke> fde: are you there?
[03:04] <bazhang> TokenBad, startx
[03:04] <cathartia> amenado:  I don't know what you mean
[03:04] <pac1> jrib, ttmontoya,  I dont' normally go around changing config files.  In this case it was a brand new box with an old xorg.conf on it from the box i ripped the disk drive from.  A certain amount of tinkering was needed to go from 640x480 on one screen to 1280x1024 on two screens with a kvm thrown in for more fun.
[03:04] <taquitos> i just pm'ed you
[03:04] <arrrghhh> so does anyone know how to transfer audio to bluetooth connected speakers?
[03:04] <amenado> cathartia-> having you set it as static, i dont believe it will initiate a process to associate with your AP
[03:04] <pac1> pac1, jrib, that's exactly what ttmontoya wants to do.
[03:04] <Odd-rationale> cathartia: put the commands that you usually execute to start your network in teh rc.local file... reboot and see if it worked.
[03:04] <MTecknology> taquitos, register to services
[03:04] <cathartia> amenado:  what do you mean by "associate"
[03:04] <bluefoxx> how can i combine two boot disk ISOs? i want to combine a sisela boot disk with a super grub disk[to save CDs]
[03:04] <cathartia> amenado:  what do you mean by "AP"
[03:05] <pac1> ttmontoya, jrib, gotta go.  bedtime for bonzo.
[03:05] <taquitos> argh
[03:05] <jrib> pac1: night
[03:05] <TokenBad> bazhang, thanks...did that and get an error saying server is already active for display 0...and to remove /tmp/.xo-lock and start again
[03:05] <bluefoxx> command line is prefered...
[03:05] <fips> whats the command to get root again?
[03:05] <Odd-rationale> cathartia: ap == access point
[03:05] <cathartia> amenado:  what do you mean by "it"
[03:05] <arrrghhh> i have the speakers connected, but now i don't know how to transfer the audio from the computer to the speakers
[03:05] <jrib> !sudo > fips (read the private message from ubottu)
[03:05] <bazhang> TokenBad, try ctrl alt f7
[03:05] <m_tadeu> hi eveyone
[03:05] <fips> !sudo
[03:05] <pac1> ttmontoya, good luck with this.  I hang out here sometimes, look me up and let me know how you make out.
[03:05] <Odd-rationale> cathartia: gtg, good luck!
[03:05] <bluefoxx> fips: sudo is single command, su is log into root
[03:05] <cathartia> amenado:  I want to use static IPs - do you think it will work with dhcp?
[03:05] <Sunx> anybody ever get his error when trying access screen resolution under preferences with 8.04 "The X Server does not support the XRandR extension.  Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available."
[03:05] <TokenBad> bazhang get signal out of range
[03:05] <cathartia> odd: thanks for the idea
[03:05] <m_tadeu> how can I run a script when I insert a usb disk?
[03:06] <jrib> m_tadeu: research udev
[03:06] <MTecknology> bluefoxx, no - su is switch user
[03:06] <amenado> cathartia may i suggest you read up on some tutorials on wireless networking
[03:06] <absnt> Im trying to use vlc as my media player in firefox and when I try to view a steaming quicktime video the link to it says "no video" and I can't even click on it..
[03:06] <bazhang> TokenBad, what res you have it set to
[03:06] <bluefoxx> MTecknology: but it also lets you log on as root if you use it alone
[03:06] <TokenBad> 800x600 60hz
[03:06] <TokenBad> but had to reset in the xorg stuff..so like need to restart it with those settings
[03:06] <cathartia> amenado:  I've read some already.  The problem seems to be the network name not getting set right.
[03:07] <porpoise> how do i disable automount?
[03:07] <Jburrke> fde: you there? ><
[03:07] <bazhang> TokenBad, that is out of range? what card and drivers and how installed
[03:07] <arrrghhh> porpoise, edit /etc/fstab
[03:07] <thingfish> rickJames: 8.04 doesn't make it easy on us.  They took away our prime tool for configuring display.
[03:07] <sCOTTo> anyone with a clue about PDF editing programs?
[03:07] <cathartia> amenado:  As I said, as soon as I manually set it with iwconfig - all is well
[03:07] <TokenBad> bazhang its an old hp..just bought it today..has a Intel 82865G card in it..and used vesa driver
[03:07] <toxguy25> hi, can somebody help me with sound problem? i updated my ubuntu 8.04 and i have no sound output but headphones are still detected
[03:07] <Sunx> set what with iwconfig
[03:07] <paulcross> sCOTTo, pdfeditor
[03:08] <rickJames> thingfish : it appears tokenbad (who i was helping too) has found some one who is working on it with him. thank you for your time :)
[03:08] <cathartia> amenado:  And when I run "ifup atho -va" I see the correct network name in the output.
[03:08] <amenado> catharia, then be happy with it, its not such an issue
[03:08] <arrrghhh> sCOTTo, there aren't really any that are *good*.
[03:08] <MTecknology> gosh I loved shared keys
[03:08] <sparky01> you mean displayconfig-gtk
[03:08] <bazhang> TokenBad, what res do you want to get with that
[03:08] <porpoise> is it dangerous that ubuntu keeps automount my drive while I resize it with gparted?
[03:08] <thingfish> rickJames: what tools are available, require a gui.  Which of course you don't have. :)
[03:08] <sparky01> where did that go?
[03:08] <MTecknology> so... can anybody explain to me how to set up IPsec?
[03:08] <TokenBad> bazhang whatever it allows...
[03:08] <sCOTTo> arrrghhh: yeah tell me about it - I found pdfedit in ubuntu - but it didnt DO anything really... i need one for an end user :(
[03:08] <Jburrke> arrrghhh
[03:08] <cathartia> amenado:  It is a show stopper for me because I want to run this computer headless in the garage - it must be able to join the network at boot time
[03:08] <bazhang> TokenBad, that is something you need to fiddle with then--is this hardy or gutsy
[03:08] <sCOTTo> !pdfeditor
[03:09] <TokenBad> bazhang but once get it set..how restart x with those settings
[03:09] <sCOTTo> paulcross: do you mean pdfedit or pdfeditor ?
