[00:00] <rredd4> slave
[00:00] <rredd4> not cs
[00:00] <sp0ro> nickrud, gnoift, ty checking now.
[00:00] <Ruepel> right click -> disable "Lock to panel" and then Right Click -> Move; then put your cursor upon the field and drag
[00:00] <nickrud> gnoift: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical will return the xorg.conf to default parameters
[00:00] <jabagawe1> spencer: do you have any experience with the terminal?
[00:00] <Hal9000> i started my ubuntu 7.10 yesterday, and i had a bunch of updates (wasnt using it for some weeks)... those updates screwed my ubuntu install completelly, it won't boot anymore! when selecting the OS in grub i get this error: "Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format"
[00:00] <spencer70> ya
[00:00] <jabagawe1> okay then
[00:00] <gnoift> Toaster`: can you relogin to the machine and use the -X flag with ssh?
[00:00] <Hal9000> even the recovery mode!!
[00:01] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, no i'll explain again
[00:01] <rredd4> imaginator the software that came with it, (maxtor hd) will format it, but i want it ext3 not ntfs
[00:01]  * ArthurArchnix puts on listening cap.
[00:01] <imaginator> rredd4: are you using the kind of cables that have a notch, or making sure the red line is on the proper side, so that the cable is connected properly?   I wonder, do you see an sdb in the dmesg?
[00:01] <Aeleon> is there a way i can change permissions of a file?
[00:01] <LjL> !chmod > Aeleon    (Aeleon, see the private message from Ubotu)
[00:01] <rredd4> imaginator the windows software does see the drive
[00:01] <gnoift> nickrud: ta, did now know that :-)
[00:01] <Aeleon> thanks a lot, LjL.
[00:01] <imaginator> rredd4: ok
[00:01] <Ubuntu-fan> Aeleon: chmod 777 filename   to give it complete full permission (probably dont want to do that ;) )
[00:02] <Hal9000> anyone??
[00:02] <Toaster`> gnoift: I've already done that.  I could restart session of the same programs, but I'd rather just re-attach then to the local x session.  I'm thinking of somehting like screen, but for x servers
[00:02] <spencer70> could i get one of those chmod pms
[00:02] <rredd4> imaginator  sdb attached scsi disk   <--  that is what dmesg says
[00:02] <LjL> spencer70: just type /msg ubotu chmod
[00:02] <LjL> !bot > spencer70    (spencer70, see the private message from Ubotu)
[00:02] <sp0ro> nickrud, gnoift: hm, that is a first. My xorg.conf has *NO* resolutions listed whatsoever. I can pastebin the xorg.conf if you don't believe me. :P
[00:02] <nickrud> Aeleon: sudo chmod  ugao+-rwx , user group all others plus-minus read write execute <-- all you need to know
[00:02] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, gutsy installed fine ..booted into linux (thru grub)..things seemed fine there..then rebooted into windows (thru grub)..windows booted fine..now when I rebooted..I never got to the grub display screen..it always keeps rebooting before it shows the options menu
[00:02] <Aeleon> haha, thanks, Ubuntu-fan, it's going to get deleted as soon as i transfer it.
[00:02] <nickrud> sp0ro: yeah, that's common now, X is getting smarter.
[00:02] <Kibble_> which driver should i install for nvidi
[00:02] <Kibble_> which driver should i install for nvidia
[00:02] <Aeleon> thanks, nickrud!
[00:02] <Kibble_> ?
[00:02] <LjL> !nvidia > Kibble_    (Kibble_, see the private message from Ubotu)
[00:03] <imaginator> rredd4: ok.  try parted /dev/sdb  or gparted (though I haven't used gparted that you mentioned)
[00:03] <gnoift> sp0ro: hm. nvidia?
[00:03] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, I get the 'loading grub 1.5' message and it reboots again
[00:03] <sp0ro> gnoift: Nope, ATI.
[00:03] <nickrud> Aeleon: learning the numbers will sometimes be useful for complex perms that a simple letter usage won't though
[00:03] <tretle> !fixgrub
[00:03] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[00:03] <imaginator> rredd4: you'll also need to use sudo probably with that command
[00:03] <gnoift> Toaster`: so let me get this right, you want to forward a already existing and running x progs to another X display somewhre else?
[00:03] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: Ah... ok... and you've confirmed that the hard-drive connection hasn't come loose?
[00:03] <Toaster`> gnoift: exactly
[00:04] <arag0rn> no..windows (when it boots) works fine
[00:04] <rredd4> imaginator  i am in parted, next command please!
[00:04] <valerio_crini>  /msg ubotu flash
[00:04] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: But when you choose ubuntu it just reboots?
[00:04] <qwaz> to run an executable script in cron do i just type the/path/toscript.sh?
[00:04] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, infact i installed gutsy twice ..and confirmed the problem
[00:04] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, no.. I never get to choose
[00:04] <gnoift> Toaster`: nope... there's no way to do that that i know of..
[00:05] <sp0ro> nickrud, gnoift: Going to try uninstalling and reinstalling the restricted ATI drivers for my card and see if that works. brb
[00:05] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, it reboots before I can choose
[00:05] <kitche> qwaz: well you need to tell cron when to run the script and such as well
[00:05] <rredd4> imaginator  mkfs .dev/sdb   ?
[00:05] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, so I cant even choose windows
[00:05] <Eagle2160> oh my god is this ever going to work?!?!?!
[00:05] <imaginator> rredd4: erm try help :)   you'll want to do mkfs or mkpart
[00:05] <linux__> hey
[00:05] <gnoift> sp0ro: just a sec
[00:05] <mnemonica> How would I go about making sure that my "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller" has the latest driver(s)?
[00:05] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: So let me get this straight... it just keeps rebooting, over and over, but sometimes it will boot windows?
[00:05] <Toaster`> gnoift: ahh shoot.  ok, I'll keep trying the web searches.  Thanks!
[00:05] <qwaz> kitche: yeah, that part i got...but im having trouble getting it to launch my dumb little script
[00:05] <imaginator> rredd4: there's a manual for parted.  man parted should help too
[00:05] <linux__> cheatr
[00:05] <IndyGunFreak> mnemonica: i don't believe that driver is available yet.... coudl be wrong though...
[00:05] <qwaz> kitche: most of the cron jobs i already have are just to run gui apps

[00:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about intel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[00:06] <IndyGunFreak> rredd4: little late.. :)
[00:06] <kitche> qwaz: you could put MAILTO="user" to make sure the application runs :) but of course you need sendmail installed or something along those lines I believe
[00:06] <rredd4> lol
[00:06] <linux__> I had to change teh default file in sites-avail to get one site to owrk
[00:06] <mnemonica> IndyGunFreak: Alright... Well... Where would you suggest I look?
[00:07] <gnoift> sp0ro, have you used the system, admin, screens/graphics and installed a screen?
[00:07] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, not exactly ..things work fine till I boot into windows ..the next time I reboot grub seems messed up and it keeps rebooting over and over again
[00:07] <|l337_n166a|> I figured out what's happening with my disappearing windows --> the GL desktop and the 2d pager are running seperately, but at the same time - so i have to disable one of them.  Any suggestions?
[00:07] <IndyGunFreak> mnemonica: they're not available yet.. i don't know where you'd look.
[00:07] <qwaz> kitche: im confused...wasn't asking about mail :)
[00:07] <mnemonica> IndyGunFreak: Alright.
[00:07] <IndyGunFreak> you can try google, but everytime i search it, it says its a waiting pattern...
 heh, nvidia with twinview support?
[00:07] <linux__> can anyone here help me with an apache config question?
[00:07] <kitche> qwaz: cron can send you emails about the stuff it runs it sends the output of the script to you in an email
[00:08] <|l337_n166a|> gnoift: nah, is intel onboard laptop
[00:08] <IndyGunFreak> mnemonica: for what its wortht hough, looks like the driver is being worked on in Hardy, because i booted the Hardy live CD, and was able to run COmpiz.
[00:08] <qwaz> kitche: oh ok...duh
[00:08] <qwaz> :)
[00:08] <kitche> qwaz: good for debugging :)
[00:08] <sp0ro> gnoift: It's set on default LCD with 1280x1024
[00:08] <imaginator> linux__: I may be able to.  I run apache
[00:08] <cvasilak> what is the name of the compiz plugins that when going to one corner of the screen all the windows are arranged just like macosx does
[00:08] <linux__> cool
[00:08] <Moduliz0r> is there a console-video player?
[00:08] <qwaz> kitche: yes, you're exactly right...just fired up mutt and got plenty of needed info
[00:08] <qwaz> kitche: thanks for your help man :)
[00:08] <ArthurArchnix> Is windows setup for software raid?
[00:08] <linux__> how do I set up apache2 to run multiple sites? The docRoot only points to one site?
[00:08] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: see above
[00:08] <gnoift> sp0ro, select the generic resolution screen?
[00:09] <sp0ro> gnoift: Going to try Monitor 1280x1024 and see if that fixes the problem
[00:09] <spencer70> Can anyone help me to get 1440x900 resolution with intel graphics card
[00:09] <sp0ro> gnoift: Yes
[00:09] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, no
[00:09] <Moduliz0r> is there a console-video player?
[00:09] <sp0ro> gnoift: I'll brb, this might have been an easier fix than I thought.
[00:09] <kitche> linux__: you want virtual hosts?
[00:09] <Ubuntu-fan> anyone have experience with airsnort ?
[00:09] <linux__> yes!
[00:09] <linux__> How do I set that up?
[00:09] <Qnix> Moduliz0r: yes , mplayer with some plugs that will make it in console
[00:09] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: Are both OS installed to the same hard-drive?
 is there more than one screen defined in your xorg.conf?
[00:09] <Moduliz0r> Qnix: what plugins?
[00:09] <ijn> hi all
[00:09] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, yes, a sata disk
[00:10] <|l337_n166a|> gnoift:  i'll check, but shouldn't be; maybe i'll restart X...
[00:10] <Qnix> Moduliz0r: wait i'll get you a tutorial about it
[00:10] <spencer70> Can anyone help me to get 1440x900 resolution with intel graphics card
[00:10] <ijn> how to install adobe flash in ubuntu 7.10 64 bit
[00:10] <|l337_n166a|> gnoift: was okay this morning.
[00:10] <Moduliz0r> thanks
[00:10] <imaginator> linux__: at a guess, as I only run one site, adding a config similar to the default /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default should work, and then run sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart
[00:10] <Qnix> Moduliz0r: you welcome ;)
[00:10] <linux__> ok, do I do this every time I set up a site?
[00:11] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: I award you the prize for most intersting problem I've heard this month. Year actually. :)
[00:11] <kitche> linux__: should help you http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/01/09/setting-up-name-based-virtual-hosting/
[00:11] <|l337_n166a|> gnoift: nah, just the one screen section; i'll close X and restart it, stupid gl desktop/2d pager breaking lol :)
[00:11] <|l337_n166a|> bbs.
[00:11] <linux__> cool thx, will take look
[00:11] <Moduliz0r> Qnix: when you find a link could you tinyurl it? I'm in irssi so i can't click stuff
[00:11] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: When you remove linux how do you restore windows? (Vista, XP?) Recovery disk, or some third party utility?
[00:11] <imaginator> linux__: this may help http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/
 that's all i can think of, that and twinview but you're not using that obviously. and i'm sure your DISPLAY in the term is right, if you're starting your apps from one
[00:12] <syntaxerror55> ArthurArchnix: It depends on if you dualboot or not.
[00:12] <oskarloko> hello
[00:12] <syntaxerror55> Do you?
[00:12] <rredd4> in parted, how do i find out the "number" of my slave hd?   mkfs number ext3
[00:12] <syntaxerror55> Hello oskarloko :D
[00:12] <rredd4> sdb
[00:12] <jmaldon> Can someone please explain how to install grub to an external usb floppy drive rather than to the hard disk when installing a fresh copy of ubuntu?
[00:12] <linux__> Thanks guys for all of your help
[00:12] <oskarloko> I need a little help with CVS
[00:12] <linux__> I am going to do some reading
[00:12] <imaginator> rredd4: that would be the partition number
[00:12] <darkkith> /dev/hda4             194G   75G  120G  39% /media/storage
[00:12] <syntaxerror55> oskarloko: what kind of help?
[00:12] <darkkith> err
[00:13] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: We're dealing with a windows problem here. You said you can reboot into linux a number of times. It's only when you choose windows that things get messed up right?
[00:13] <neeto> How do I install back/forward button functionality on my mouse?
[00:13] <imaginator> rredd4: print will list the partitions you have created
[00:13] <oskarloko> I need to checkout a proyect - grub2 - from CVS of Gnu savannah
[00:13] <oskarloko> http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/grub/
[00:14] <Ubuntu-fan> so noone here who can help me with airsnort ? :(
[00:14] <syntaxerror55> oskarloko: #grub ?
[00:14] <oskarloko> I have installed cvs
[00:14] <rredd4> imaginator  for sdb, nothing.  its not even formatted to ext3
[00:14] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, sorry..lost connection..did u reply ?
[00:14] <`Matir> Does anyone in here have an environment using LDAP authentication where LDAP users are able to hotplug USB devices?
[00:14] <rredd4> imaginator  brand new out of the box hd
[00:14] <imaginator> rredd4: did you run mkpart?
[00:14] <rredd4> i will
[00:14] <oskarloko> .-.. the problem is that I don't know how to make CVSROOT to checkout the proyect
[00:15] <oskarloko> it's not a GRUB problem itrself
[00:15] <gnoift> anyone know if someone is maintaining the latest SNORT for 710 with the rules? like maybe 2.8? I can dl it but it would be nice if there's already a .DEB out there...
[00:15] <rredd4> imaginator and man parted did not help me
[00:15] <imaginator> rredd4: hint: you can run mkpart and it will interactively ask you more questions
[00:15] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: Yeah. I asked you to confirm that you can reboot linux, again and again, and its only when you boot windows that things go haywire.
[00:15] <jmaldon> Can someone please explain how to install grub to an external usb floppy drive rather than to the hard disk when installing a fresh copy of ubuntu?
[00:15] <oskarloko> cvs checkout CVSROOT
[00:15] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, the 2 times I tried it worked..booting into linux that is
[00:15] <Eagle2160> CAN ANYONE HELP ME??
[00:16] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: I think we're dealing with a windows problem here. Since I've never heard of it I'm gonna assume you have vista?
[00:16] <Flare183> !CAPS | Eagle2160
[00:16] <jmaldon> what with
[00:16] <ubotu> Eagle2160: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[00:16] <syntaxerror55> Eagle2160: with?
[00:16] <IndyGunFreak> !anyone | Eagle2160
[00:16] <ubotu> Eagle2160: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[00:16] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, nope.. XP actually
[00:16] <Eagle2160> i need to reinstall unbuntu on my desktop
[00:16] <ArthurArchnix> aragorn: Do you have the recovery disc for xp?
you might want to check out howtoforge (www), or the DSL linux project (they have lots of instructions for USB/pen drives)
[00:16] <syntaxerror55> Eagle2160: Enter the LiveCD and click install?
[00:16] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, yea I think I should
[00:16] <ArthurArchnix> I can't fathom what might cause xp to mess with the boot sector. I think you may have a windows virus.
[00:16] <Flare183> Eagle2160: pop in the live cd and click install
[00:17] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: See above.
[00:17] <IndyGunFreak> Eagle2160: ok, so reinstall?
[00:17] <Eagle2160> no i already did that and now it does not give me the regular install optionm
[00:17] <jmaldon> gnoift - thanks a lot
[00:17] <Eagle2160> and when i log into ubuntu to the desktop page and i click install it wont install
[00:17] <Ubuntu-fan> airsnort... anyone? :-/
[00:17] <Eagle2160> the original install got screwed up and i need to start from scratch to reinstall it correctly
[00:18] <PriceChild> Ubuntu-fan, what are you trying to do?
[00:18] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: I suppose it's possible that a third party resize tool like gparted messed up the partition table and windows tries to fix it... if that's the case then using the restore cd to fixmbr and then running a filesystem scan should solve your problems.
[00:18] <syntaxerror55> Eagle2160: you installed it from the same LiveCD last time?
[00:18] <Eagle2160> syntacerror yes
[00:18] <neeto> can someone link me to a tut on how to install a mouse with back/forward buttons?
[00:18] <gnoift> ubuntu-fan; nah sorry but i know, again howtoforge had a  article on normal snort with mysql backend, not sure if it will help but worth a try, in the ubuntu section
[00:18] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, heh..ok..i'll check my system again for viruses..actually I installed XP 3 days ago
[00:18] <Eagle2160> syntaxerror well  no i used a different cd

[00:19] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, but I havent used anything else
[00:19] <bcpage> I just tried the live cd but after the os loaded there were no bars at the top or bottom.  Then when windows boots do a scan for and fix file problems on c. You'll need to reboot.
[00:19] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, does having /boot as a logical partition cause problems ?
[00:20] <Ubuntu-fan> PriceChild: Well I heard that WEP isnt secure anymore and now I am trying to see if that is true... so I am basically trying to break into my own network and see how long it takes to get the WEP key... Ive been doing it for a while... but donno when to stop... or if it gets the WEP by itself or if I have to do anything...
[00:20] <ArthurArchnix> Are you manually creating boot during install?
[00:20] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, no
[00:20] <PriceChild> Ubuntu, wep takes minutes to crack.
[00:20] <Eagle2160> ik am trying now
[00:20] <PriceChild> Ubuntu, read whatever documentatino you've been reading and I'm sure it'll tell you.
[00:20] <syntaxerror55> Eagle2160: okay.
[00:20] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, while installing I had set ubuntu to use a different logical partition to mount /boot
[00:21] <PriceChild> Ubuntu-fan, pretty sure you also don't need to stop the sniffing before trying the cracking
[00:21] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: I don't know. My best guess is no. Grub puts info into the MBR after that, logical or primary wouldn't matter much.
[00:21] <Ubuntu-fan> PriceChild: minutes!? I have been running the software for like almost an hour... have like 60000 packets... and the PW HEX / ASCII field is still empty... I even changed our key to something really simple as in 2233.... etc.
[00:21] <l337_n166a> gnoift: yeah... didn't change anything after X restarted, but I've figured out that the GL desktop is being silly anyway, so i'll just live without it; should make my laptop run a bit cooler anyway!
[00:21] <Ubuntu-fan> PriceChild: Aha... how do I try the cracking ?
[00:21] <l337_n166a> gnoift: thanks for the help anyway :-)
[00:22] <PriceChild> Ubuntu, read whatever documentation you've already been using
[00:22] <ThinkingMan> Mornin boys, I'm on a new install of Gutsy and no matter what I do I can't get flash to install/work with firefox, I can install through the cute firefox prompt, looks like it works but no result, same thing through synaptic
[00:22] <l337_n166a> bye!
[00:22] <ThinkingMan> any ideas on why flash doesn't seem to want to work with mozilla?
[00:22] <VSpike> Can anyone help?  I have to use Thunderbird for mail, but I really miss a notification area or panel new mail notifier, especially when using multiple desktops...  I need a biff or mail checker that can work either with IMAP or Maildir++ but it needs to be able to detect mail in any folder as I use maildrop to route mail to folders

[00:22] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[00:22] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, hmm and MBR is present on first sector of each hard disk right ?
 hm. sorry i can't help you there, i'm actually still now sure what the diff is between gldesktop and compiz enabled
[00:22] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: Yup.
 now=not
[00:23] <Ubuntu-fan> PriceChild: Do you know of a good documentation.. I havent really been using one :-/
[00:23] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: What's the second hd for?
[00:23] <ThinkingMan> yeah, I've already been throug what ubotu says
[00:23]  * ThinkingMan gives the bot a dirty look
[00:23] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, as of now its empty :)
[00:23] <Safiyyah> hi all
[00:23] <jmaldon> Can someone please explain how to install grub to an external usb floppy drive rather than to the hard disk when installing a fresh copy of ubuntu? i'm not trying to install linux on the usb drive but GRUB ONLY
[00:23] <syntaxerror55> ThinkingMan: so you've tried to fix flash the unsupported way?
[00:23] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, I'm thinking of installing ubuntu on that
[00:23] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, now that this doesnt seem to work
[00:23] <PriceChild> Ubuntu, i don't sorry, and believe it pointless for you to be trying it
[00:24] <IndyGunFreak> ThinkingMan: just download it from adobe and follow the instructions, takes literall 10-15sec
[00:24] <Safiyyah> I have downloaded both the live CD and the DVD, both autoload within windows but when I use them to bootup (so that I can get on with the installation) they stall.... any1?
[00:24] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: Just to simplify things, why not unplug it completely before re-attempting this. Fixmbr, run a fixdisk scan from within windows. Then install ubuntu.
[00:24] <ThinkingMan> IndyGunFreak: I guess I'll try that way
[00:24] <ArthurArchnix> Oh, and check your installation cd for errors.
[00:24] <IndyGunFreak> ThinkingMan: its the easiest way, i do it that way, even when the installer is working.. just download the .tar file and follow the instructions
[00:24] <Ubuntu-fan> PriceChild: Why pointless?
[00:24] <gnoift> PriceChild, you don't know of anyone maintaining a repo for snort and 710?
[00:25] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, ok.. I'll try that too..that seems a much cleaner approach as well
[00:25] <Flare183> 710?
[00:25] <PriceChild> gnoift, no
[00:25] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, thanks for the help
[00:25] <gnoift> Flare183 7.10
[00:25] <Ubuntu-fan> gnoift are you trying airsnort too ?
[00:25] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: np. good luck.
[00:25] <eric> I'm running gutsy and am having some issues getting any flash player to work. I have installed every way reccomended and even tried gnash and mozilla still wont load my flash vids.
[00:25] <Safiyyah> ArthurArchnix,  it stalls for the too, just says it is loading and then it stalls, does same no matter which option is selected
[00:25] <gnoift> Ubuntu-fan, no just snort
[00:25] <helluvaCSMajor> nautilus only shows parts of icons and emblems, some more shows up when i highlight the icon, how do i fix this in feisty?
[00:25] <Ubuntu-fan> gnoift what is that ?
[00:25] <Flare183> oh
[00:25] <IndyGunFreak> eric:  have you installed Flash from adobe's site?.. the flash installer is broken
[00:26]  * ArthurArchnix waves goodbye.
[00:26] <gnoift> Ubuntu-fan, snort lets you know if someone is trying to hack into your machine, it looks at network traffic
[00:26] <Safiyyah> archangelpetro,  (my drive is also unformated wanted to put it into extention 3 using the live disk).... is that the problem
[00:26] <archangelpetro> ?
[00:27] <Ubuntu-fan> gnoift so basically I counter airsnort ? Or a method to detect attacks used by airsnort and others ?
[00:27] <LupinZX> is there a program for linux that allows to send messages across local networks to other computers?
[00:27] <Slart> LupinZX: yes.. samba can do that
[00:27] <bluefoxx> if i used wget ot donload something hear is it saved?
[00:27] <Phoul> Hey all, Just wondering, Wheres the more specific config for compiz? I just installed and got it all running but theres a few tweaks i wouldnt mind doing and all i can find are the three settings... the none, Some, All sorta thing
[00:27] <bluefoxx> whear*
[00:27] <IndyGunFreak> LupinZX: samba i think
[00:27] <javaccen> can someone help me troubleshoot why i am getting 80mbps transfer over gigE with ubuntu?
[00:27] <Slart> LupinZX: there's also regular mail.. im.. irc etc
[00:27] <gnoift> ubuntu-fan; well kinda. it only alerts you. and then you have to read /var/log/snort/alert*
[00:28] <genii> !linpopup
[00:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linpopup - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:28] <genii> !info linpopup
[00:28] <ubotu> linpopup: X Window System port of Winpopup, running over Samba. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.0-8.2ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 78 kB, installed size 344 kB
[00:28] <javaccen> i am expecting 500mbps or so
[00:28] <happy1> anyone know the command line syntax to extract a bz2 file from the local file system to a windows share?
[00:28] <tretle> Hi I was here earlier about grub help and i followed two guides on the !fixgrub page but with both of them when i get grub working it just says error 22: no such partition for ubuntu and bootmgr is missing for windows xp
[00:28] <LupinZX> Slart: thanks, i'll look into the samba route
[00:28] <tretle> any help would be apreciated
[00:28] <megaribi> Is problem with random freezing of Ubuntu Gutsy fixed?
[00:28] <sandma2> Can someone help me with my ATI Video Card??
[00:28] <imaginator> eric: according to about:plugins in Firefox do you see flash as handled by the official plugin?
[00:28] <helluvaCSMajor> nautilus only shows parts of icons and emblems, some more shows up when i highlight the icon, how do i fix this in feisty?
[00:29] <VSpike> LupinZX: it may be overkill but you could run your own jabber server and then you can take your pick of clients
[00:29] <gnoift> ubuntu-fan; for nice intusion detection you can use ossec but it's not supported. used it on debian before and it worked fantastic. ask some of the older ubu guys what they use
[00:29] <imaginator> eric: you may want to remove gnash and others if not...
[00:29] <ThinkingMan> IndyGunFreak: thanks for the tip, adobe's install works no prob
[00:29] <Safiyyah> lets try again
[00:29] <josiah> ah... feels so good to have ubuntu up and running again
[00:30] <IndyGunFreak> ThinkingMan: i don't know why that just wasn't put in the !flash ubotu output.. those other steps on that link, are far more complex... the source code takes seconds
[00:30] <ThinkingMan> IndyGunFreak: absolutely
[00:30] <helluvaCSMajor> nautilus only shows parts of icons and emblems, some more shows up when i highlight the icon, how do i fix this in feisty?
[00:30] <bluefoxx> if i used wget to donload something whear did it get saved?
[00:30] <LupinZX> VSpike: thats massive overkill, there's only two of us on a router
[00:30] <nickrud> bluefox83: in the directory you were in when you called wgat
[00:30] <Phoul> anyone?
[00:30] <imaginator> bluefoxx: most likely in your current directory
[00:30] <ThinkingMan> well, now to catch up on some youtube videos, thanks folks
[00:30] <gnoift> bzip2 files (bz2) apt-get install bzip2 ; man bzip2
[00:30] <bluefoxx> imaginator: ok, ty
[00:30] <nickrud> bluefox83: erm, called wget that is
[00:31] <helluvaCSMajor> nautilus only shows parts of icons and emblems, some more shows up when i highlight the icon, how do i fix this in feisty?
[00:31] <tretle> Hi I was here earlier about grub help and i followed two guides on the !fixgrub page but with both of them when i get grub working it just says error 22: no such partition for ubuntu and bootmgr is missing for windows xp
[00:31] <gnoift> bluefoxx in the directory where you called it from unless you use the "-O" flag to tell it where to go
[00:31] <nickrud> !repeat | helluvaCSMajor
[00:31] <ubotu> helluvaCSMajor: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[00:32]  * arag0rn goes to sleep
[00:32] <sandma2> Can Anyone help me with my ATI Video Card??
[00:32] <imaginator> helluvaCSMajor: that sounds like a bug.  Does it happen all of the time?
[00:32] <Blinkiz> Am having a DVD inside a .img file that I want to play with mplayer. I guess I need to mount the DVD some way to be able to play it with mplayer. How can I mount a .img file and then point mplayer on to it?
[00:32] <Ax-Ax> Why can't I design the cds? I own!
[00:32] <Ax-Ax> http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u151/ax-ax/ubuntucd.jpg
[00:32] <Flare183> Blinkiz: just mplayer play it
[00:32] <imaginator> Blinkiz: you want a loopback mount
[00:33] <megaribi> SAndma2: Do you have picture at all?
[00:33] <gnoift> night guys
[00:33] <Blinkiz> imaginator: Okay, and that is? :)
[00:33] <imaginator> Blinkix: or as Flare183 suggested you may be able to use mplayer directly.  man mount has information on loopback mounts
[00:33] <Blinkiz> Flare183.... okay
[00:34] <Flare183> yeah
[00:35] <Mikealcl> at a friends house, his sound is all static when we play anything in ubuntu, mixer looks normal, any ideas?
[00:35] <Blinkiz> oh, Flare183 was a nickname here on #ubuntu :D Started to search the net for a package named flare183 :P
[00:35] <cvasilak> anybody having a correct ubuntu logo image so that i can put it on top and down on compiz cube?
[00:35] <`Zmax`> hello guys, I have a Samsung i600 Smartphone (HSDPA), I would like to connect to the internet through it... Do you know if exist an "Active Sync" emulator or clone for Linux ?
[00:35] <imaginator> Blinkiz: just for future reference, something like: mount /path/to/foo.img /mnt -t iso9660 -o loop=/dev/loop0...  I think the mount manual has examples.
[00:36] <preaction> Mikealcl, i would start with the speakers and the speaker wire
[00:36] <Blinkiz> Flare183: Yes, I can just point mplayer to the .img file but dvd menus, subtitles and so on, does not seems to work.
[00:36] <pierreth> hello, I am unable to install from the cd
[00:36] <Blinkiz> imaginator: Thanks for that line.
[00:36] <pierreth> I cannot get a full boot from the cd
[00:37] <Draggin> Well... I'm back... In a way that I have not anticipated...
[00:37] <Miu> hiii
[00:37] <pierreth> Ubuntu is unble to start X
[00:37] <Safiyyah> lol draggin why?
[00:37] <imaginator> pierreth: did you check if your video card is supported?
[00:37] <megaribi> Piereth, do you have more than 384 megabytes?
[00:37] <Draggin> Tell me, is there any easy to use text-web browser that I can install?  I don't have access to GNOME at all at the moment...
[00:37] <pierreth> imaginator: no, where should I go?
[00:37] <imaginator> Draggin: links seems pretty easy to use
[00:38] <Phoul> Hey, Does anyone know where abouts i can find the compiz setup thing, not the three option "low med high" but the actual setup stuff
[00:38] <Mikealcl> cables are correct, nothing but single audio plugged in (no mic, line in, etc)
[00:38] <Draggin> imaginator - and is that available in the repositories?
[00:38] <IndyGunFreak> !ati | pierreth
[00:38] <ubotu> pierreth: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[00:38] <Draggin> imaginator - apt-get install links ??
[00:38] <tretle> pierreth : click on f6 for advanced boot options and type noapic and then press enter
[00:39] <imaginator> Draggin: that should work
[00:39] <IndyGunFreak> pierreth: nevermind, i thought you were having trouble with ATI drivers.;
[00:39] <pierreth> F6 when I see the menu of the boot cd?
[00:39] <Draggin> imaginator - thanks - I'll give it a shot
[00:39] <IndyGunFreak> pierreth: how fast did you burn the disk?
[00:39] <imaginator> pierreth: just a moment.  I don't recall where the hardware list is.
[00:39] <tretle> pierreth : yes
[00:39] <pierreth> IndyGunFreak: the disk is working, I did install before on other machines
[00:39] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[00:39] <nj786> whats a good dvd copier program?
[00:40] <imaginator> pierreth: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[00:40] <Miu> nj786 i use nero 3
[00:40] <nj786> Miu: on ubuntu?
[00:40] <Miu> o yea
[00:40] <Miu> =)
[00:40] <megaribi> nj786: Try also k3b
[00:41] <pierreth> ubotu: I have a GPU integrated mother board
[00:41] <Starnestommy> ubotu is a bot
[00:41] <ubotu> Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots for all information.
[00:41] <pierreth> imaginator: thank you
[00:41] <imaginator> pierreth: you're welcome
[00:41] <tyone> yo dudes
[00:41] <nj786> megaribi: and K3B makes copies of DVDs?
[00:42] <bastid_raZor> nj786:: k3b does it all.
[00:42] <pierreth> ok, I will try these, I am on PCBSD now
[00:42] <unravel> yay. wireless. <3
[00:42] <Miu> T_T
[00:42] <nj786> bastid_raZor: can you tell me how to make a copy of a dvd because i am in a hurry right now lol
[00:42] <pierreth> I was able to install without problem with this version
[00:42] <Flare183> !dialup
[00:42] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up
[00:42] <nj786> bastid_raZor: using k3b?
[00:42] <bastid_raZor> nj786:: do you have k3b installed?
[00:43] <nj786> bastid_raZor: yes
[00:43] <pierreth> My mother manufacturer is not listed
[00:43] <megaribi> nj786: fastest way   dd if=/dev/cdrom of=my.iso                    then wait then cdrecord my.iso
[00:43] <bastid_raZor> nj786:: simply put the dvd in the drive open k3b and select Tool > Copy DVD
[00:43] <nj786> bastid_raZor: i have it opened i just want to make a copy of a dvd
[00:43] <pierreth> mother borad
[00:43] <happy1> gnoift: yeah, i finally figured it out, thanks.  anyone know why Nautilus is so buggy and why there doesn't seem to be any rush to fix the pleathora of bugs?  the darn thing can't even copy large files to & from Windows shares.
[00:43] <pierreth> I have an EVGA board
[00:44] <gregor2000> hi
[00:44] <william> all in a sudden my sound isn't working.  the system acts like it believes it's playing
[00:44] <imaginator> happy1: software development is difficult, and motivating people even more so.
[00:44] <phoul> Thats odd....
[00:44] <phoul> Anyone whos a master with nvidia compiz please message me
[00:44] <bastid_raZor> william:: the volume turned down?
[00:44] <Draggin> imaginator - thanks - I got it and it's working beautifully :)
[00:44] <imaginator> Draggin: good
[00:44] <william> no it's turned all the way up
[00:44] <imaginator> :)
[00:44] <happy1> gnoift: actually, i am curious if there is a single command that will mount everything that was automatically mounted at startup, tho?
[00:45] <loquitus_of_borg> Hey people. I am trying to figure out a way, on the UNIX command line, to generate a JPG that would be a screen capture of a given URL. Know how to do this?
[00:45] <megaribi> Pierreth: Current versions of Ubuntu can not work if you have less than 384 megabytes RAM. Did you check?
[00:45] <pierreth> megaribi: I have 2GB
[00:45] <nj786> bastid_raZor: does it matter if the orig cd is DVD+R AND THE BLANK ONE IS DVD-R?
[00:45] <IndyGunFreak> megaribi: sure they can
[00:45] <happy1> gnoift: certainly mount -o remount /whateverismountedthatyouwanttoremount is better than manually mounting everything, but it would be nice to do it all in w/ one command
[00:46] <bastid_raZor> william:: in a terminal type alsamixer and see if any of them are not
[00:46] <bastid_raZor> nj786:: that should not matter.
[00:46] <Laurenceb> whats gstreamer?
[00:46] <pierreth> tretle: I will try the F6 thing, see you later...
[00:46] <nj786> bastid_raZor: thank you very much u just saved me from bruises ; )
[00:46] <waner> #ubuntu-es
[00:46] <MrObvious> Whoohoo I got wireless working. Yay.
[00:46] <Laurenceb> I cant get a pls stream to open, it worked yesterday, now no :(
[00:46] <Fixer> :)
[00:47] <nj786> bastid_raZor: is there anything else?
[00:47] <MrObvious> Laurenceb: Did you reboot?
[00:47] <bastid_raZor> nj786:: glad i could help. nothing else..
[00:47] <stroyan> happy1:  "sudo mount -a" will try to mount everything that is listed in /etc/fstab.
[00:47] <william> alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[00:47] <nj786> bastid_raZor: oh and btw is it suposed to burn fast?
[00:47] <Laurenceb> yes
[00:47] <bastid_raZor> william:: i guess you don't have the alsa drivers..
[00:48] <bastid_raZor> nj786:: that depends on your burner.
[00:48] <nj786> bastid_raZor: its already on 31%
[00:48] <Laurenceb> MrObvious, just rebooted
[00:48] <william> bastid i have had this ubuntu system running on gutsy since gutsy came out and it's been fine
[00:48] <Laurenceb> it worked before I rebooted
[00:48] <nj786> bastid_raZor: i see.
[00:48] <MrObvious> Laurenceb: I would go through the steps you got to get it working and then see if you can get it to work again. You might need to modprobe something.
[00:49] <bastid_raZor> william:: that is my sound drivers. that doesn't mean you need them .. just that i'm out of options to help :\
[00:49] <MrObvious> Who here is running x64? Do you guys like it?
[00:49] <Laurenceb> "gstreamer plugins could not be found"
[00:49] <IndyGunFreak> ya.
[00:49] <Laurenceb> should I reinstall gstreamer?
[00:50] <IndyGunFreak> Laurenceb: send me a link to what you're trying to watch
[00:50] <Safiyyah> HELP! burnt the CD and DVD and they bootup + loads fine only when you select an option they say.. "loading kernel etc" then they hang... whats the matter?
[00:50] <MrObvious> It might be your audio drivers Laurenceb too.
[00:50] <Safiyyah> please not my Gparted disk which I also downloaded and burnt works fine, I just dont know how to use it
[00:50] <Lynet> I'm trying to run 7.10 as guest under vmware server. The thing locks up or the clock goes haywire. Is this a known problem, or do I have a botched installation?
[00:50] <Safiyyah> note*
[00:50] <Laurenceb> IndyGunFreak: anything from http://www.di.fm/
[00:51] <MrObvious> Hmm, I got a big problem. I'm pinging my router which I'm connected wirelessly to (it's only a foot away) and I'm getting pings in the 5 MS range.
[00:51] <MrObvious> Does anyone have any ideas?
[00:51] <JRU909> How much hd space does ubuntu NEED to install?
[00:51] <jabagawee> i think 4gb
[00:52] <Safiyyah> i think its 5gb
[00:52] <william> bastid_razor but look at this http://img158.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1wl8.png
[00:52] <JRU909> I mean bare minimum
[00:52] <JRU909> barely running

[00:52] <JRU909> K
[00:52] <jabagawee> hey guys, major problem: my usb wifi thingy works in the live cd but refuses to work in a reg gutsy install
[00:53] <nj786> bastid_raZor: for some reason my screen turned black and white(dim)
[00:53] <slap> jabagawee, checked restricted drivers ?
[00:53] <jabagawee> no restricted drivers avaiable
[00:53] <bastid_raZor> william:: it seems you are using alsa drivers. sure all the speakers are plugged in?
[00:53] <megaribi> Did anybody encounter problem with random lockup  of Gutsy, discussed for example in this forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=54dca74d5970647a504e8376ac6910fc&t=587905#post3608200  ?  Is there solution for this problem, because I still have it, no matter if I disabled Compiz effects, upgraded kernel to 2.6.24 or tried with acpi=off. My card is ATI, so I can not try sugessted replacing nvidia with nv driver.
[00:53] <jabagawee> its a zonet zew2500p usb device. i think its based on rt2500 or rt2570
[00:54] <william> bastid_razor i have tried different speakers too, but no change
[00:54] <william> i also checked in bios
[00:54] <nj786> bastid_raZor: and the download is stuck on 50%
[00:54] <bastid_raZor> nj786:: download?
[00:54] <nj786> bastid_raZor: yea the burning
[00:55] <makers_mark> can someone help me out with a flash player and java install?

[00:56] <g4lv4tr0n> can someone help plz ive made a nfs share on ubuntu
[00:56] <jabagawee> you guys got any clue to my problem?
[00:56] <megaribi> makers_mark: The easiest way for it is to look at ultimateedition.info. They have repository with flash and java.
[00:56] <bastid_raZor> nj786:: okay
[00:56] <slap> jabagawee: Not really shure what else to do :/
[00:56] <jabagawee> oh lord
[00:56] <sam__> When i do the desktop cube i am only getting two and not 4 sides
[00:56] <josiah> is there a multibuntu repo for Hardy yet?
[00:56] <sam__> can anyone help me?
[00:56] <g4lv4tr0n> now im trying to mount this on another machine. I got my nfs share mounted but i dont have permission to browse the folder ?
[00:57] <jabagawee> but everyone says it works with ubuntu!
[00:57] <makers_mark> megaribi i've downloaded and installed flash an java,but for some reason i go to youtube.com and the actual player is cutting out some controls and the video are lagging.
[00:57] <josiah> sorry i mean medibuntu
[00:57] <william> bastid maybe it's a new kernal?
[00:57] <william> bastid i will try that but i have to get going for now
[00:58] <phoul> I'm having some issues with ubuntus default compiz install, I let it do what ever it does in the install. told it it could install the nvidia driver, let it do its thing, Rebooted, Compiz worked fine. Then i had to log out and log back in and now i have no boarders
[00:58] <phoul> any ideas
[00:58] <g4lv4tr0n> ive mounted my nfs share but i dont have permission to browse the directory even if i su in terminal
[00:59] <jabagawee> anyone care to help me find an .inf driver?
[01:00] <megaribi> makers_mark: It seems that some background program uses your CPU cycles. Try install some light window manager like jwm and login with this session to see if it is faster.
[01:01] <Lynet> jabagawee: It works on the livecd, right?
[01:01] <jabagawee> yes
[01:01] <Lynet> So boot the livecd and check which driver it loads.
[01:01] <jabagawee> how?
[01:02] <makers_mark> megaribi i have a windows partition on this comp and flash n java work flawlessly.
[01:02] <MrObvious> .
[01:02] <Lynet> dmesg. lsmod.
[01:02] <makers_mark> megaribi i also don't see my cpu & ram usage go very high either (cpu up to 10% and ram 300mb our of 1gb)
[01:02] <jabagawee> lynet: clarification please, im not a cli guru
[01:03] <Blinkiz> I have mounted a remote nfs path into my /mnt folder. Everything is working except when I try to access files on that nfs path with user "root". Then I get permission denied. The files am trying to access is owned by niklas:niklas and should be like this. How can I make so "root" as permission to read/write files on the remote nfs path?
[01:03] <jabagawee> although, im not afraid to get my hands wet
[01:03] <bobbob1016> Would you guys suggest tracker or google desktop?  I'm a little google paranoid, but tracker is giving me problems.
[01:04] <`Matir> Anyone here using Hardy on a daily basis yet?
[01:04] <jrib> bobbob1016: I'd suggest trying to work out the tracker problems, and if it's futile then maybe jump to google.  Consider beagle too.

[01:04] <tacone> how do I verify tracker is enabled and functioning ? (gutsy)
[01:04] <ibrahim> hi all i have new asus f3sa notebook i can not install ubuntu
[01:05] <jabagawee> lynet? i do not know what you mean by dmesg and lsmod.
[01:05] <jabagawee> i understand, however, that they are cli programs
[01:05] <ibrahim> during the installation some error occurs
[01:05] <ibrahim> is there anyone
[01:05] <ibrahim> can help me
[01:05] <bots> what error?
[01:05] <jrib> tacone: system -> preferences -> indexing.  And Accessories -> Tracker to run a search
[01:05] <Lynet> jabagawee: I sent you a msg.
[01:05] <bobbob1016> jrib, It works fine, then occasionally stops, and I have to restart it from scratch.  I had beagle, I switched to tracker since I was under the understanding it was better, I have no preference either way.
[01:05] <tacone> jrib: thanks
[01:05] <tacone> ibrahim: what error ?
[01:06] <jabagawee> and i did not receive that message
[01:06] <Lynet> jabagawee: Open a cli and do "dmesg | less" (without the quotes).   Any suggestions?
[01:06] <tacone> jrib: I already went to Indexing Preferences
[01:06] <jrib> tacone: you need to let it index stuff first.  Make sure the daemon is running
[01:07] <tacone> jrib: it is
[01:07] <Lynet> jabagawee: yes
[01:07] <tacone> jrib: I thought result would appear incrementally
[01:07] <bombuzal> Hello :)
[01:07] <ibrahim> tacone:  /bin/sh : can not access tty: job control turned off (initramfs) erorr
[01:07] <Lynet> Anyone know how to make 7.10 work properly running as a vmware server guest?
[01:08] <tacone> jrib: is it yet integrated with the deskbar applet, and other application, on gutsy ?
[01:08] <ibrahim> bots: bin/sh : can not access tty: job control turned off (initramfs) erorr
[01:08] <jrib> tacone: there is a deskbar plugin, yes
[01:08] <jabagawee> what should i be looking for in the less output?
[01:08] <megaribi> phoul: Go to Advanced options and check if Windows decorations is check
[01:08] <Lynet> jabagawee: Anything mentioning a wireless driver.
[01:09] <jabagawee> there is a LOT of output, what shuld i be looking for
[01:09] <Lynet> jabagawee: Anything mentioning a wireless driver.
[01:09] <Nuke_> is there a way to get NetworkManager to stop enabling wifi on login?
[01:09] <tacone> jrib, could you point me to some url to understand how much it's integrated with the other standard applications ?
[01:09] <jabagawee> i see some lines starting with wlan0
[01:09] <jrib> tacone: not sure, try the tracker home page
[01:09] <ibrahim> tacone:  so i can not install ubunut because of that error
[01:09] <Blinkiz> I have successfully mounted a movie dvd into /media/dvdmount. I now want mplayer to play this dvd and thread it like a dvd. How can I play this DVD with mplayer? Am using the GUI for mplayer that exist in ubuntu 7.10
[01:09] <bombuzal> I've been reading through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller and checked out bug #131133 for devices with the ID: 8086:284b ... Sound *works* with Alsa shipped with Gutsy/7.10, but when I insert headphones (it's a laptop) - sound comes from both the speakers and headphones... any ideas/links please? :)
[01:09] <ibrahim> do you have any idea about that
[01:10] <jabagawee> what is rc80211?
[01:10] <tacone> ibrahim: I guess I cannot help you but in my case installation dropped cause of a cd error and an acpi error
[01:10] <bots> ibrahim: try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=520713 and see if one of the fixes there works for you.
[01:11] <Blinkiz> I have successfully mounted a movie dvd into /media/dvdmount. I now want mplayer to play this dvd and thread it like a dvd. How can I play this DVD with mplayer? Am using the GUI for mplayer that exist in ubuntu 7.10. When I choose "DVD" within mplayer gui, it says no stream can be found on dvd://1 . Can I change this path?
[01:11] <tacone> ibrahim: try to press ctrl+alt+f1 and see if you see any error message on there
[01:11] <mrxtambourinema> can someone help me with my wireless card. It's an Atheros AR5006(7)AG.
[01:12] <ibrahim> tacone:  i've googled and tried whatever they said but :(
[01:12] <jabagawee> Lynet: i cannot find anything pertaining to a wifi driver
[01:12] <Aeleon> what do you do with *.gz files?
[01:12] <bombuzal> gunzip them :)
[01:12] <Aeleon> yay!
[01:12]  * Aeleon tries it.
[01:12] <Hilikus_> how do i make rsync not only copy files to a destination dir if they are in the source dir but also REMOVE files from the dest dir if they are removed in the source dir?
[01:12] <_MattB> is there a way to get status information from dd? the example in the man page seems to only give me statistics, not actual progress
[01:12] <jabagawee> shall i disconnect and reconnect the usb device and recheck dmesg?
[01:13] <mrxtambourinema> i guess not =(
[01:13] <Lynet> jabagawee: Good idea. :)
[01:13] <McKayCR> why does my wireless nic not retain it's settings after reboot
[01:14] <tacone> ibrahim: I guess I cannot help you either. for the sake of curiosity, which computer are you on ?
[01:14] <jabagawee> im getting something on rt2x00usb
[01:14] <bombuzal> I've been reading through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller and checked out bug #131133 for devices with the ID: 8086:284b ...

[01:14] <McKayCR> ok how about an easier one, how do I remove shortcuts from my menu bar at the top of my screen?
[01:15] <jrib> McKayCR: right click -> remove
[01:15] <Lynet> jabagawee: Ah, that sounds like it.
[01:15] <McKayCR> I'm on a powerbook G4, there is no right click
[01:15] <megaribi> _MattB: I think it is not possible, but you can do dd in smaller chunks
[01:15] <ibrahim> tacone:  i have a asus f3sa if you want i can write features of notebokk
[01:15] <jabagawee> now what?
[01:16] <phoul> Does anyone know the name of the compiz manager to fine tune compiz
[01:16] <bombuzal> McKayCR, [Apple]-click? :P
[01:16] <phoul> IM trying to find it and im having no luck
[01:16] <jrib> McKayCR: better question is then, "How to right click on a powerbook?" (I don't know)
[01:16] <bots> McKayCR: does ctrl+click still operate like a right click?
[01:16] <Lynet> jabagawee: Hmm, strange. That's an open source driver, it should be available by default both on the livecd and in a regular install.
[01:16] <jabagawee> lsmod is also saying something about rt73usb
[01:16] <megaribi> phoul: Advanced Desktop Configuration
[01:16] <tacone> tracker log gives this error: ERROR: could not get file id for /usr/share//applications/anjuta.desktop - unable to continue indexing this file
[01:17] <phoul> megaribi, where is that located
[01:17] <bombuzal> brb
[01:17] <McKayCR> [Apple] + click and ctrl+click doesn't seem to work, it just activates the program
[01:17] <jabagawee> btw, im on a separate machine, so i can reboot the affected computer
[01:18] <McKayCR> I have never had a MAC before, and I never used linux either
[01:18] <jabagawee> McKayCR: do you have any two buttoned mice in your house?
[01:18] <McKayCR> yes
[01:18] <McKayCR> nice I didn't think of that
[01:19] <jabagawee> lol
[01:19] <megaribi> phoul: In system/preferences menu
[01:19] <jabagawee> Lynet: you researching my problem or just afk?
[01:20] <McKayCR> ok, lets try another.  How do I remove a shared folder from my computer
[01:20] <McKayCR> right click it too?
[01:20] <Lynet> jabagawee: I'm not familiar with that driver, so busy googling right now.
[01:20] <bots> remove as in delete or remove as in un-share?
[01:20] <phoul> megaribi, nothing in there is called that, The only thing relevant to compiz is the appearance thing and thats just three levels of stuff not really configuring it
[01:20] <jabagawee> i found something about rt2500usb here too...
[01:21] <McKayCR> I mapped to one of my other computers, but I did it wrong so the mapping doesn't work and I want to delete it
[01:21] <megaribi> So, login as user you first created, this that can be sudo

[01:23] <ader11> KDE 4.0 is stable, is it in the repositories?

[01:24] <jabagawee> Lynet: so the trail goes cold?
[01:24] <xubuntu> help
[01:24] <geekworx> megaribi: how to type that?
[01:24] <Benzin> Hi all!
[01:25] <kaska> how do i install libflac7 ?
[01:25] <megaribi> In command shell type telnetd. Ubuntui will tell that telnet daemon is not installed and it will recommend three packages. Try install one of them using apt-get instal <packagename>
[01:25] <geekworx> /usr/sbin/update-inetd --enable telnet
[01:25] <geekworx> how to enable people telnet?

[01:27] <geekworx> jrib: will you help me?
[01:27] <sean> hey, what sort of filesystem does ubuntu use?
[01:27] <travalas> geekworx: what's wrong with ssh?
[01:27] <geekworx> ok
[01:27] <nickrud> sean: ext3 by default, but it can use others, like xfs , jfs , rieserfs
[01:27] <geekworx> i see nobody can help me
[01:27] <geekworx> thanks
[01:27] <icesword> sean, ext3,reiserfs etc
[01:27] <jrib> geekworx: you need to be patient
[01:27] <nickrud> geekworx: what's the question, sometimes you have to ask for a while
[01:27] <megaribi> geekworks: In command shell type telnetd. Ubuntui will tell that telnet daemon is not installed and it will recommend three packages. Try install one of them using apt-get instal <packagename>
[01:27] <echowip> travalas hes trying to install telnet so he can chattr with his eggdrop via telnet

[01:28] <sean> nickrud: can i change the hard drive that my ubuntu partition is installed on to a dynamic disk without any problems?
[01:28] <Cpudan80> !telnet
[01:28] <ubotu> telnet is not safe. Please use ssh instead. See !ssh
[01:28] <daftpunkk> i can't get into ubuntu. i have repaired installation of windows xp on partition sda3 (~500gb) using the windows cd becase of a "ntldr is missing" error. after the successful reparation, that grub screen does not show up in the bottom. ubuntu is installed on an 8gb partition. Sensitive material is on that partition that I cannot loose!
[01:28] <Cpudan80> hrm....
[01:28] <nickrud> sean: not sure what you mean by dynamic disk ...
[01:28] <sean> using windows xp
[01:28]  * echowip slaps ubotu around a bit with a large trout
[01:28] <nickrud> !grub | daftpunkk
[01:28] <ubotu> daftpunkk: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:28] <jabagawee> !ssh
[01:28] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[01:29] <krim> If anyone who helped me with VirtualBox is till here I just wanted to say thanks. Everything works great!
[01:29] <erawfish> sean: you can't
[01:29] <nickrud> daftpunkk: see the recoveringubuntu one, it's the issue
[01:29] <sean> ok thanks
[01:29] <daftpunkk> kk thanks
[01:29] <nickrud> sean: yah, you can't :)
[01:29] <icesword>  will scim input method support ms-windows?
[01:29] <Lynet> jabagawee: Sorry. Without the computer in front of me it is kinda hard to figure this one out.
[01:29] <wirechief> datfpunkk just use livecd, cp files to  a safe place then reinstall grub
[01:29] <Laurenceb> how do I run a tcl file?
[01:29] <jrib> geekworx: patiently wait for the answer.  As I said, I don't see the need for anyone to use telnet, and I won't help anyone use it.  Use ssh instead
[01:30] <sean> if i changed my hard drive to a dynamic disk would that make my ubuntu partition unusable?
[01:30] <nickrud> icesword: windows has it's own language support for keyboards, ask about it in ##windows
[01:30] <McKayCR> the external two button mouse idea worked great.  It also solved my bad file share mapping
[01:30] <McKayCR> thanks
[01:30] <ironfoot_495> jrib: ln -s /etc/apache2/conf.d/ /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
[01:30] <Ryuho> is this a bad idea on gutsy? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31310
[01:30] <sFEARs> i get a "no space left on device" error when i try to compile xconfig.. anyone know how i can clear up some space.. i have 20 gigs left on the hard drive
[01:30] <nickrud> sean: define dynamic disk, precisely. Maybe readable but not bootable, etc
[01:30] <megaribi> jrib: Telnet client is installed by default on all windows and linux machiunes. Maybe he wants to set up server without setting up clients.
[01:30] <jabagawee> Lynet: darned.
[01:30] <sean> dynamic disk is a windows feature
[01:31] <kriel> What protocol do you suggest for moving files around between computers on a network? I know FTP is the classical answer, however I've heard some rumors that it's slow compared to others, and nowhere near as secure.
[01:31] <sean> ummm
[01:31] <bastid_raZor> kriel:: scp
[01:31] <Pinchiukas> could I install gentoo/linux on an ibm as/400 machine? I understand it has a 64bit risc cpu, will that be a problem?
[01:31] <nickrud> Ryuho: since ubuntu no longer uses inittab, it's moot
[01:31] <PriceChild> Pinchiukas, #gentoo
[01:31] <Pinchiukas> PriceChild ubuntu
[01:31] <kriel> bastid_raZor: do you know what that stands for?
[01:31] <wirechief> kriel just use konqueror and fish
[01:31] <Lynet> jabagawee: You might read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT2500 to see if it can provide any hints.
[01:31] <PriceChild> Pinchiukas, gentoo questions in #gentoo
[01:31] <blindrat> is ubuntu gutsy pretty much current with a debian sid system?
[01:31] <Pinchiukas> yeah well just convert it to a ubuntu questino
[01:31] <PriceChild> jabagawee, problems with rt2500? (i have one)
[01:32] <jabagawee> yes
[01:32] <nickrud> sean: well, then I guess I'll bow out, I try my best to not know windows stuff
[01:32] <jabagawee> absolutely yes
[01:32] <PriceChild> jabagawee, what's the problem?
[01:32] <jrib> ironfoot_495: rm /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf and then create it as a normal file
[01:32] <kama> good morning
[01:32] <IL0v3C0fF3E> Hello
[01:32] <Lynet> jabagawee: But according to the documentation, it should work fine out of the box so dunno why it doesn't work.
[01:32] <sean> nickrud: im just going to keep it seperate
[01:32] <nickrud> blindrat: no, it's behind since about august
[01:32] <Pinchiukas> anybody can tell me if I can install linux on an ibm as/400 machine?
[01:32] <PriceChild> Lynet, nope
[01:32] <daftpunkk> ubotu, will not eidting this "bootloader" give me that ntloader error again?
[01:32] <bastid_raZor> kriel secure copy .. scp will transfer files on a network.. i do this between two computers on my network daily with it.. and it is as fast as my router will push
[01:32] <jabagawee> alright, it's a zonet zew2500p. works in livecd. dies in hard drive install.
[01:32] <kama> i see flash installation is still broken, anyone have any idea when it will become un-broken?
[01:32] <kriel> wirechief: isn't konqueror a kde component?
[01:32] <PriceChild> jabagawee, do you have an alternative internet connection for that machine, wired?
[01:33] <blindrat> nickrud: then I should be able to make a sid chroot and run gutsy packages
[01:33] <ironfoot_495> jrib: thanx
[01:33] <Intangir> hey, my screen only comes up at 640x480
[01:33] <PriceChild> jabagawee, because you need to install the "module-assistant" package, then use it to build rt2500-source
[01:33] <nickrud> kama: when konqueror gets updated to use the new plugin structure
[01:33] <jabagawee> if absolutely necessary, i can move the machine
[01:33] <kriel> bastid_raZor: but that dosen't use a client/server setup, does it?
[01:33] <wirechief> kriel yes, i guess thats why i use it ;-)
[01:33] <Draggin> Okay... Can someone tell me... If you really want to become a pro Linux user, what's the best way of going about it without ultimately destroying your PC?  I find that I learn most when things break and I have to try and get them up and running again, but this isn't very practical if your computer is also the one you need for doing work
[01:33] <wers> clearlooks looks different now. when was it updated
[01:33] <PriceChild> jabagawee, you can download it and its dependencies then move them over on a flash disk
[01:33] <blindrat> nickrud: actually I guess its the same proceedure to just build a gutsy chroot
[01:33] <nickrud> blindrat: often, yes. But ubuntu tweaks stuff enough that behavior is unpredictable
[01:33] <wirechief> kriel i realized that right after i said it...
[01:33] <jrib> Draggin: install linux in a virtual machine and play all you want
[01:33] <Laurenceb> can anyone help me?
[01:33] <bastid_raZor> kriel:: it is command line.. and it requires you to accept keys for each. there is a simple yes to hit enter to and that is it
[01:33] <jabagawee> pricechild: do you have a jabber or aim account? id like to talk without all this background chatter, and pidgin doesn't like irc PMs.
[01:33] <kriel> bastid_raZor: I apologize, I should have specified that that's something I'm looking for as well.
[01:33] <kama> hmmm, i dont have a clue what konqueror is
[01:33] <Laurenceb> how do I open a tcl file?
[01:33] <PriceChild> jabagawee, or with a working net connection on the livecd, you could chroot in and download it from there
[01:34] <jrib> !virtualbox > draggin (read the private message from ubotu)
[01:34] <Draggin> jrib - what do you mean?
[01:34] <Intangir> wtf..
[01:34] <nickrud> blindrat: sure is. Underneath it all it's pretty much still debian
[01:34] <hqxriven> oi
[01:34] <kriel> bastid_raZor: Ah, so it's similar to ssh?
[01:34] <jabagawee> pricechild, do you have jabber or aim?
[01:34] <jabagawee> a
[01:34] <Draggin> jrib - a virtual machine in Windows?
[01:34] <bastid_raZor> kriel:: exactly
[01:34] <PriceChild> jabagawee<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[01:34] <icesword> there is a package called ***dpi in snaptic,what is it used for?
[01:34] <travalas> laurenceb you mean open or fun?

[01:34] <ubotu> hqxriven: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[01:34] <blindrat> nickrud: great, now all I gotta do is remember how to do it in the first place
[01:34] <TigranG> How can I make my mouse middle button launch an app when its clicked?
[01:34] <hqxriven> valeu!!!
[01:34] <jrib> Draggin: virtualbox (and others) let you run an operating system in a window seperate from your main operating system.  And you can save and restore points so there's no worry of breaking anything
[01:35] <nickrud> icesword: its bitmapped fonts for X , not really used much now since ttf is well supported
[01:35] <daftpunkk> nickrud, will not eidting this "bootloader" give me that ntloader error again?
[01:35] <kama> is there dosbox or something similar in ubuntu?
[01:35] <Draggin> jrib - and does virtualbox run in Windows? And is it free?
[01:35] <jrib> Draggin: I think so, and yes
[01:35] <Laurenceb> travalas: I think run
[01:35] <kriel> bastid_raZor: how do you specify what directory to send the file to? The manpage isn't exactly the most verbose.
[01:35] <bastid_raZor> Draggin:: you could try the free version of VMware. it works in windows yes.
[01:35] <Draggin> kama - you can install DosBox in ubuntu
[01:35] <nickrud> daftpunkk: hopefully not. if you tell me your windows partition and put a copy of the menu.lst on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org I'll help you set up a standard windows boot
[01:35] <sFEARs> i get a "no space left on device" error when i try to compile xconfig.. anyone know how i can clear up some space.. i have 20 gigs left on the hard drive

[01:36] <IL0v3C0fF3E> I need help with my WACOM Intous 1.  When I plug it in it works like kinda like a mouse.  I want it so wherever I put the pen on the pad, it gous on the same place on the screen.  Is there a program or something for this?  Also, the eraser works as a mouse only, its no different.
[01:36] <Draggin> jrib, bastid_razor, thanks :)

[01:36] <nickrud> sFEARs: you can do sud apt-get clean, that should clear up 500mb , but that's not much really. X is a pig, isn't it
[01:36] <kama> where do i find more info on the commands like !info? I am completely IRC illiterate
[01:37] <nickrud> !wacom
[01:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wacom - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[01:37] <sFEARs> nickrud, i have 20 gigs left on the hard disk & apt-clean didn't work
[01:37] <TigranG> How can I make my mouse middle button launch an app when its clicked?
[01:37] <Intangir> my video came up at 640x480 several times now, its been working fine for years, its done this like twice before, i left it off for a few hours and i think it just worked again, it still works high res in windows.. i left it off for hours and its not correcting, im stuck at 640x480
[01:37] <icesword> nickrud, not really,x is big,but bigger is openoffice
[01:37] <jrib> TigranG: maybe with xbindkeys
[01:37] <Laurenceb> how do I run a tcl file?
[01:37] <nickrud> sFEARs: do you have your home set up as a separate partition, is that where you have the space?
[01:38] <Intangir> fuck the window is so small i cant fucking follow the chat
[01:38] <nickrud> icesword: so they're both pigs ;p
[01:38] <TigranG> jrib: Thanks, I'l have a look

[01:38] <kwame> Hi, in which file does Ubuntu store the X configuration? is it /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[01:38] <sFEARs> yes home is on a separate partition and i'm compiling in /usr/src/linux
[01:38] <jrib> kwame: yes
[01:38] <nickrud> Intangir: switch to xchat for your irc , it's much better (you can turn off part/join and lines to you are in red)
[01:38] <adub_> in xchat how can i have my users list on the right hand side
[01:39] <nickrud> sFEARs: do the compile in home then
[01:39] <icesword> nickrud, so you did not have x installed on your machine,you didn't like it?
[01:39] <sFEARs> i didn't even think of that
[01:39] <nickrud> icesword: no, I mean a pig when compiling
[01:39] <sFEARs> duh
[01:39] <kama> how can i turn off part join in pidgin?
[01:39] <Pinchiukas> spider pig?
[01:39] <mia> help, I have ubuntu 7.10 and I cant get any sound out of my mobo with sigmatel chipset
[01:39] <jrib> kama: there is a plugin for that
[01:40] <kama> spider pig...hehe, Ilove that pig
[01:40] <mia> i am trying to use optical
[01:40] <nickrud> sFEARs: in general the only thing you compile in /usr/src is kernel stuff
[01:40] <kama> ok, that is mostly meaningless to me
[01:40] <sFEARs> that's what i'm doing
[01:40] <xobius> kwame, startx init X windows server. Why?
[01:40] <kama> I dont have the first idea of where to look for a plug in for this
[01:40] <jrib> kama: search in pidgin's menu for something to do with plugins and find the one you want
[01:40] <sFEARs> xconfig are the settings for the kernel

[01:44] <xobius> kwane did you do that?
[01:44] <xobius> kwane ok
[01:44] <Draggin> Okay... Need more help now... I seem to have managed to get X up and running (to a certain extent at least) again, but my monitor keeps saying "Attention Out of range" with something like H: .2kHz V:203.1Hz.  Any ideas??
[01:44] <wsgued1> ok, so i have 2 hdds, 1 is 80gb and it holds the ubuntu OS... the other is a 250 gb hdd that holds all my music and videos and the nunsuch... for some reason, ubuntu doesnt see the other drive... why is this?
[01:44] <efif> hi, i'm trying to install the flashplugin (nonfree) and while it's installing it says something about a md5 mismatch... i marked for complete removal and then reinstalled but the same issue came back
[01:44] <jrib> wsgued1: is it listed when you do 'sudo fdisk -l'?
[01:45] <Jack_Sparrow> The checkbox for the alternate cd was not working yesterday. Is it working now or does someone have a different link for gutsy alternate...?
[01:45] <jrib> !flash > efif (read the private message from ubotu)
[01:45] <nickrud> Draggin: you can try adding the monitor's horizontal and vert freqs to xorg.conf, see !fixres
[01:45] <jrib> Jack_Sparrow: does releases.ubuntu.com work?
[01:45] <nickrud> !fixres > Draggin
[01:45] <kama> flash is screwed up
[01:45] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: releases.ubuntu.com/7.10
[01:45] <wsgued1> jrib: yep
[01:45] <efif> jrib, thanks, when do you think there'll be a fix??
[01:46] <kama> that is the same reason I cam here as well
[01:46] <geekworx> efif: type sudo apt-get install flash
[01:46] <Draggin> nickrud - you mean the lines that say HorizSync and VertRefresh?
[01:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Nope, I selected desktop and alt last night and got desktop.. confirmed with md5
[01:46] <madrazr> Hii all
[01:46] <nickrud> Draggin: yes
[01:46] <blindrat> are there still package mirrors for gutsy?
[01:46] <Draggin> nickrud - they are in there... That's why I find it somewhat strange
[01:46] <jrib> efif: they're waiting for konq to patch up their plugin system because latest flash does not work there
[01:46] <Tits> hello
[01:46] <TigranG> jrib: It doesn't let me add mouse bindings, only keyboard (using xbindkeys-config)
[01:47] <efif> geekworx: doesn't work
[01:47] <efif> jrib, ok thanks for the info
[01:47] <Grammaticus> Does anyone here use dial-up on Ubuntu?
[01:47] <geekworx> efif: sudo apt-get update
[01:47] <geekworx> and try again
[01:47]  * Grammaticus reclines and listens to the chirping of the crickets.
[01:47] <nickrud> Draggin: if you're sure they are the right ones, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log , it should tell you if X is overriding with values it reads from the monitor (edid)
[01:47] <jrib> TigranG: see 'man xbindkeys' for some examples with mouse keys
[01:47] <Tits> I have a question; If my processor is "Processor	AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor TK-53, 1700 Mhz, 2 Core(s)"... would I be better off installing the 64 bit or 32 bit version of Ubuntu?
[01:47] <jrib> geekworx: that won't work
[01:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Ok.. that is right...  thanks guys
[01:48] <exneo> hello
[01:48] <TigranG> jrib: Ok
[01:48] <exneo> anybody
[01:48] <nickrud> Tits: 32bit,
[01:48] <Cromag> !ask
[01:48] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[01:48] <kama> nice tits.  I did 64 bit
[01:48] <exneo> just me and the ghost of
[01:48] <kama> and am less than impressed
[01:48] <exneo> TOm joad
[01:48] <exneo> sup
[01:48] <geekworx> aha
[01:48] <madrazr> Hii all, we have an idea of writing a new tool which is related to apt system, we want to know whether something of that sort already exists
[01:48] <Tits> I only ask because I know some programs aren't able to fully utilize the 64 bit
[01:48] <madrazr> where can we ask about this??
[01:48] <Tits> thanks
[01:49] <wsgued1> efif: what do i do know, it show up in the terminal
[01:49] <jrib> madrazr: #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:49] <madrazr> can someone answer here ??
[01:49] <kama> most are craptacular in 64
[01:49] <exneo> hey my intel realtek card wont work and the drivers ain't installin right I use fiesty should I upgrade
[01:49] <nickrud> madrazr: debian-devel mail list
[01:49] <exneo> x-chat rules
[01:49] <kama> hehe, after reading that I hadnt realized i wrote nice tits
[01:49] <madrazr> nickrud: if we do it on Debian-Debian devel list how fast can we see it in Ubuntu's repo??
[01:50] <kama> is there an easy way to switch to a 32 bit installation?
[01:50] <jrib> kama: reinstall
[01:50] <kama> hmm.  I guess a reinstall would be easy
[01:50] <geekworx> jrib: hah :)
[01:50] <nickrud> madrazr: probably a long time. If you want to talk to ubuntu devs, start in #ubuntu-motu
[01:51] <geekworx> kama: blow the PC with shotgun
[01:51] <kama> but the pita factor....
[01:51] <Draggin> nickrud - I just had a wild guess at something... How do I know what the BusID of my graphics card should be?
[01:51] <jrib> kama: just backup your HOME and see ubotu's !clone factoid
[01:51] <jrib> !clone > kama (read the private message from ubotu)
[01:51] <madrazr> nickrud: Oh ok thanks for that
[01:51] <kama> and the shotgun advice wouldnt really work because I would have trouble getting the 32 bit to install after the fact
[01:51] <nickrud> Draggin: lspci | grep -i vga , the first numbers
[01:51] <wsgued1> jrib: what do i do know?
[01:52] <jrib> wsgued1: pastebin the results for me
[01:52] <jrib> !pastebin > wsgued1 (read the private message from ubotu)
[01:52] <kama> that could just have easily have been written in Swahili for all could understand
[01:52] <Ryuho> gdm autologin has got me on a reboot loop and it wont let me do anything, what should i do
[01:52] <TigranG> jrib: Thanks, works :)
[01:53] <jrib> kama: tell me the first part that you do not understand
[01:53] <Draggin> nickrud - okay... that was right... So what exactly should I be looking for in that log file?
[01:53] <Tigerplug> Guys Im having trouble trying to open ports on ubuntu server for torrent clux

[01:53] <Tigerplug> is there a command that I can use to open a range of ports over SSH?
[01:53] <nickrud> Ryuho: boot into recovery mode, and look for it in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom
[01:54] <Ryuho> thanks
[01:54] <kama> and how do i disable the shortcut to unicode?
[01:54] <jrib> wsgued1: ok, which one is your music on?

[01:54] <mather> excuse my silly question, but does gtk have something to do with kde? or something that is installed or works with kde?  would anything GTK releated (such as gtk-qt-engine) be installed with the default gnome version of Ubuntu?
[01:54] <jrib> Tigerplug: all ports are open by default
[01:54] <nickrud> Draggin: the section where it talks about reading the monitor and setting the rates, shortly into the driver recognition section
[01:54] <wsgued1> jrib: top one... the one with only 2 partitions... ntfs
[01:54] <th0r> Ryuho you might try logging into safe mode, then edit /etc/gdm/gdmsysconfig.conf....make the autologin = ""
[01:55] <Tigerplug> jrib - are you familiar with torrentflux
[01:55] <jrib> mather: gtk is the gimp-tool-kit, most gnome programs use it
[01:55] <Blinkiz> I would like to shutdown the X temporarly and run a command. How can I do that?
[01:55] <nickrud> mather: nothing that is kde related is installed with gnome, you would have to add that gtk-qt-engine with kde
[01:55] <jrib> !ntfs > wsgued1 (read the private message from ubotu)
[01:55] <Pelo> mather,  the default version of uubuntu is gnome based, and used the Gimp ToolKit (GTK) but this has nothing to do with KDE unless you installed a some kde app which you can
[01:55] <jrib> wsgued1: there is a nice gui program on that wiki that page that should "just work".  If not, poke me
[01:55] <wsgued1> ok
[01:55] <jrib> Blinkiz: why? what command?
[01:56] <IL0v3C0fF3E> I'm trying to go here sudo cd /home/linuxwacom  in my temin al but its not working, why??
[01:56] <nickrud> Draggin: if you have problems finding it, put the log on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[01:56] <Pelo> mather, why are you asking ?
[01:56] <Laurenceb> how do I run a tcl file?
[01:56] <Pelo> IL0v3C0fF3E, you don'T need to use sudo with cd
[01:56] <kama> !Tab
[01:56] <ubotu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[01:57] <Pelo> Laurenceb, try this,   sudo chmod 777 /path/file.tcl  then   ./file.tcl
[01:57] <mather> well, my Appearance Settings window (gnome-appearance-properties) was freezing everytime i tried to change tabs... then I read that the removal of gtk-qt-engine fixed this problem, and it did... and i recently installed kde on top of gnome and was hoping that was the reason things broke.... so now its possible that other programs will not work?
[01:57] <mia> okay...I found this now which do I put in the alsa-base:  974		STAC9227/9228/9229/927x
[01:57] <mia> 975		  ref		Reference board
[01:57] <mia> 976		  3stack	D965 3stack
[01:57] <mia> 977		  5stack	D965 5stack + SPDIF
[01:57] <IL0v3C0fF3E> Pelo,  cool, it worked, but now this wont work:  cp xserver-xorg-input-wacom.udev /etc/udev/rules.d/50-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules
[01:57] <jrib> mia: don't paste here please
[01:57] <nickrud> mather: what that engine does is try to make gnome apps look similar to the qt theme, optional (and apparently not useful)
[01:58] <Pelo> mather, gtk-qt-engine allows you to run kde aps on gnome,  not related to having kde installed along gnome as far as I know
[01:58] <mather> oh cool, so nothing important
[01:58] <Pelo> IL0v3C0fF3E, now you need to use sudo
[01:59] <icesword> ubotu:ms-sys
[01:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ms-sys - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:59] <mather> and you can still run kde programs without it, sweet
[01:59] <mia> the 5stack is probabl mine, but what do I put in for model 5stack or the long name above it

[02:00] <kama> another noob question, but do the rest of you just install updates when they come available?
[02:00] <CTho> what's the difference between a process in the D state and a process in the Z state?
[02:00] <vecna> can someone help with nvidia driver on hardy heron , or to downgrade back to gusty?
[02:00] <kama> in the update manager I mean?
[02:00] <Pelo> Laurenceb, where are you seing that ?
[02:00] <Draggin> nickrud - I think I found it, but it seems to be using the values that are entered in xorg.conf (and they've always worked).  Plus I wouldn't know how to paste anything on the pastebin right now since I'm doing everything from the commandline here :)
[02:00] <nickrud> kama: I usually read the changelog first so I know why it's there, and then install it
[02:00] <Laurenceb> its cant find tixwish
[02:00] <sp0ro> I have a problem with my resolution and restricted ATI drivers. Whenever I use my restricted ATI drivers, GNOME loads in "low-graphics mode" in 800x600 resolution and is unchangeable. The monitor settings also change to a weird monitor. When I disable the restricted drivers, the monitor goes back to a generic 1280x1024 resolution. Any ideas what could be causing this?
[02:01] <Pelo> kama, yes we do
[02:01] <Laurenceb> bash: ./mfile.tcl: /usr/local/bin/tixwish: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[02:01] <jrib> vecna: hardy support is in #ubuntu+1.  If you need a usable system, I'd recommend reinstalling and sticking with gutsy until hardy is released
[02:01] <blindrat> is there a debootstrap in ubuntu? can someone help me with a script for gutsy /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/gutsy I am on debian and trying to make a gutsy chroot
[02:01] <kama> so... I am better off just doing it?  Most of the stuff in the description is meaningless to me anyway
[02:01] <Pelo> Laurenceb, look in synaptic do a search and install if you find it
[02:01] <Tigerplug> How can I open up a range of ports in iptables?
[02:01] <kama> hmm
[02:01] <vecna> thanks jrib
[02:01] <nickrud> Draggin: what kind of video card do you have?
[02:01] <kama> when did hardy heron come out?
[02:02] <Pelo> kama, they are updates for stuff you have installed on your comp,  might just be libs or other such packages taht are needed by apps, nothing you actualy realise you are using
[02:02] <nickrud> kama: not until april at the soonest
[02:02] <LinChapulin> Anyone running a Fujitsu Lifebook?
[02:02] <Pelo> Tigerplug, man iptables should tell you how
[02:02] <Draggin> nickrud - nVidia GeForce 4 Ti 4800SE, but I'm trying to use a generic vesa driver so that I can just at least get into X again to fix things
[02:02] <kama> do the rest of you upgrade as soon as the new OS comes out (Is is called a new os?)
[02:02] <Pelo> LinChapulin, better ask about your problem
[02:02] <Pirate-King> hello
[02:02] <Pelo> kama,  I usualy wait a couple of weeks
[02:03] <nickrud> Draggin: I'm not real good with nvidia quirks, I don't have one
[02:03] <Pirate-King> what is a good chat program?
[02:03] <freakazoid0223> xchat
[02:03] <icesword> kama,do a sudo apt-get upgrade ,that brings many new feature
[02:03] <Pirate-King> like mirc
[02:03] <kama> would I be better off going with an older distro?
[02:03] <jrib> kama: for what purpose?
[02:03] <kama> !sudo
[02:03] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:03] <Draggin> nickrud - I'm busy following the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=650161
[02:04] <Pelo> Pirate-King, we like xchat,  you can install it from the repos, but look in add/remove, several are available,  you can pick the one you like best
[02:04] <nickrud> Draggin: but simply changing the Section Device driver to vesa should do the job
[02:04] <kama> where can i find that info about drivers?
[02:04] <the> does anyone know a good program to convert my dvds to divx
[02:04] <bltzfsck> been trying to make a lan with xp and vista work for a week.  loaded the ubuntu live cd on the xp machine and EVERYTHING WORKS out of the box

[02:05] <LinChapulin> I followed the guide for Gutsy in the forums This lappie has a ATI Radeon HD 2600 video card installed..however setting the driver to fglrx just screws up the display, and I can't get it out of 800X600

[02:06] <sp0ro> I have a problem with my resolution and restricted ATI drivers. Whenever I use my restricted ATI drivers, GNOME loads in "low-graphics mode" in 800x600 resolution and is unchangeable. The monitor settings also change to a weird monitor. When I disable the restricted drivers, the monitor goes back to a generic 1280x1024 resolution. Any ideas what could be causing this?
[02:06] <nickrud> !customlivecd > icesword
[02:06] <Pelo> LinChapulin, look in the forum for ati resolutions,  this is fixable , I just don'T know how
[02:06] <Draggin> nickrud - I actually don't think so - I thought I did, but there was no envy installed in the first place - I accidentally installed the nvidia-glx-new driver (where it should have been nvidia-glx for my card) and I think that caused a mismatch in the nvidia kernel and the driver...
[02:06] <LinChapulin> Ok thanks...I did try the other alternatives in the HOWTO for setting up the card per earlier versions...
[02:06] <Pelo> sp0ro, there is a fix for that , look for ati resolution in the forum
[02:07] <ubuntu__> i need help installing gutsy on an external hard drive
[02:07] <Pelo> LinChapulin, I can't realy help with ati stuff sorry
[02:07] <LinChapulin> Pelo: Thanks
[02:07] <LinChapulin> Yes I know
[02:07] <nickrud> Draggin: no, that wouldn't do it since the nvidia-glx* from ubuntu are compiled against the ubuntu kernel ... You didn't custom compile a kernel did you?
[02:07] <ubuntu__> can someone help me?
[02:07] <Laurenceb> bash: ./mfile.tcl: /usr/local/bin/tixwish: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[02:07] <bltzfsck> havent used linux in a while, but i remember passing boot paramaters that gave me much smaller fonts in text mode
[02:07] <Laurenceb> its still cant find it :(
[02:07] <bltzfsck> is there a way to pass that paramater to a live ubuntu cd?
[02:07] <sp0ro> Pelo: that fix does not fix "low-graphics mode" though, already tried it.
[02:08] <bltzfsck> i think it was vidmode or summat
[02:08] <Draggin> nickrud - nope - no custom anythings...  I removed glx-new and tried reinstalling glx only (which worked), but whenever x should start up, it gives me the error about the mismatch
[02:08] <Pelo> ubuntu__, boot the live cd,  check in gparted to see what the /dev/sd** address of the external hdd is, then proceed with the install as usual but make sure you set the grub menu to isntal on the external hdd
[02:08] <kama> how easy is it to use wine?
[02:09] <Laurenceb> where will tuxwish be on my system?
[02:09] <nickrud> sp0ro: I don't believe the ubuntu fglrx supports that card, apt-cache show xorg-driver-fglrx lists the chipsets it does support
[02:09] <Pelo> sp0ro, are you sure there aren'T' other options available in the forum ?
[02:09] <jrib> kama: it's easy to use.  Whether or not it will work for a given .exe is a different story

[02:09] <Pelo> Laurenceb, in the terminal type  locate tuxwish
[02:09] <bltzfsck> can i put the boot stuff on a memory stick and make a free partition into the root partition?
[02:09] <kama> ty jr, i was reading about it
[02:09] <Pelo> zeemystteryman, more specifycaly ?
[02:10] <nickrud> Draggin: and simply adding vesa to the device doesn't work? try leaving it as vesa and commenting out your monitor refresh stuff
[02:10] <Pelo> bltzfsck, whut ?
[02:10] <mather> thanks for you help everyone, i am walking away a smarter man
[02:10] <sp0ro> nickrud: Yes the restricted drivers work, they were working perfectly before I had to reinstall ubuntu 7.10 on a new hdd
[02:10] <Draggin> nickrud - I'll give that a shot... Haven't tried that yet.  Do you think I should leave the ModeLine in tact or comment that out as well?
[02:10] <zeemystteryman> i installed it onto a usb external harddrive and when i rebooted i chose the option to boot from the harddrive and it said that it cant find the linux kernal
[02:10] <Pelo> mather, beer will take care of that for you
[02:10] <sp0ro> Pelo: I'll check around
[02:11] <Pelo> zeemystteryman, you messed up your boot sector wit the new install
[02:11] <zeemystteryman> how do i properly intall it then?
[02:11] <Pelo> zeemystteryman, you have ubuntu installed on your hdd as well &?
[02:11] <zeemystteryman> no
[02:11] <nickrud> Draggin: comment it out. In fact, copy that xorg.conf to your desktop for safekeeping, and run   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg . Get a default xorg.conf to work with
[02:11] <bltzfsck> instead of rearranging my whole boot sector on this windows machine, can i just make a usb memory stick the boot device, and mount a free partition from my h/d?
[02:11] <Pelo> zeemystteryman, what do you have installed on the hdd ?
[02:11] <zeemystteryman> my hdd is corupt and isnt even recognized by the os
[02:12] <josiah> what is the best torrent client to use? I like having a lot of options to manipulate like download specific files from a torrent, pausing, having them saved in memory when I re-open the torrent application.

[02:12] <_jwd_> is there something similiar to ESPN's bottom line for GNOME? Any recommendations?
[02:12] <mather> one more actually, how can i tell whether or not a program is included in a base install of say Gutsy?
[02:12] <mather> im sure theres a list or something
[02:12] <Draggin> nickrud - great - that might be just what I need...  Let me try that
[02:12] <jrib> _jwd_: what does it do?
[02:12] <nickrud> Draggin: it doesn't ask any questions, if you leave it out it asks every question under the sun
[02:12] <Pelo> bltzfsck, you'll need to install grub on the usb stick ,  toward the end of theinstall questionnair, change the hd0,0 thing to what it would be for the usb stick
[02:12] <Das3Zehn> if there is anyone with experience with bluetooth: I'm trying to use pand as nap - but somehow the interface "bnep0" doesn't exist at all - I spend like the last 4hours on this and can't find where I did anything wrong.

[02:13] <nickrud> brand0con: I'll put up a stanza for you , a sec
[02:13] <Pelo> zeemystteryman, can you boot from the usb stick ?
[02:13] <brand0con> thx
[02:13] <mather> it doesnt need that much, but thats enough to mess around in
[02:13] <bltzfsck> a lot of the thumb drives go about 4 gigs
[02:13] <Pelo> nickrud, stanza ?  , nice word for it
[02:14] <mather> i think it only requires like 1.3 gb?
[02:14] <bltzfsck> maybe i cd put /bin and /usr on the h/d
[02:14] <zeemystteryman> I went into setup when i booted my comp and went to the boot section and in the usb section i told it to boot from my external harddriv
[02:14] <Laurenceb> I think i found tixwish... now what do I do?
[02:14] <mather> thats off the top of my head

[02:14] <bltzfsck> if i can leave windows the way it is, mama will be much easier to get along with
[02:14] <mather> bltzfsck: 4gb is plenty, especially if you want to run it off the thumb drive
[02:14] <Dragon67> is there any thing like that in ubunut

[02:15] <Pelo> zeemystteryman, ok try this  , boot regularly from the same hdd that was set as boot when you instaled ubuntu on the external hdd, my guess is that grub pahse one is on the internal but set to look for menu.lst on the external
[02:15] <nickrud> Draggin: wireshark
[02:15] <bltzfsck> mather, you in texas?
[02:16] <mather> matkix: what kind of card do you have? have you tried an alternate network-manager like wicd?
[02:16] <Das3Zehn> uhm - just a small question *cough* could it be that bnep0 is pan0 in ubuntu? *cough*

[02:16] <matkix> mather, I have a wireless card that IS supported by the network manager, but my lan card is not...
[02:16] <Dragon67> nickrud: draggin is packet capture
[02:16] <nickrud> articpenguin3800: it's been done, but it's not a good idea.
[02:16] <zeemystteryman> Pelo>> i never had gutsy installed on the internal, infact, when i installed it on the external, the internal didnt even show up
[02:16] <matkix> mather, Where can I find another network manager?
[02:16] <nickrud> Dragon67: no, that's a person. wireshark is in ubuntu
[02:16] <mather> wicd is the only one i know of
[02:17] <_jwd_> your LAN card is not supports? what type of card?
[02:17] <bltzfsck> so mather, you think booting from a thumb drive is a practical solution?
[02:17] <matkix> _jwd_, Is that enough detail?
[02:17] <kama> what is the shortcut to switch to a japanese entry system?
[02:17] <zeemystteryman> Pelo>> i had XP installed on the internal
[02:17] <mattgyver83> Is anyone familiar with setting up a bluetooth connection via usb adapter within ubuntu?
[02:17] <Pelo> zeemystteryman, not a qustion of having gusty installed on the internal,  but the bootloader ( grub) default installs on the boot hdd as per the bios settings
[02:17] <mather> bltzfsck: do you want to run it off the thumb permanently? or just install it from the thumb?
[02:17] <Dragon67> nickrud: ok i dont mean person ,i ask for program which can capture packet
[02:17] <matkix> _jwd_, Well its all one unit, its an intel lan / wan card on my ibm thinkpad.
[02:17] <pierreth> hello
[02:17] <_jwd_> bluez-utilz mattgyver83
[02:17] <bltzfsck> run from the thumb

[02:17] <zeemystteryman> ok
[02:17] <pierreth> I was able to install with the noapic thing
[02:18] <zeemystteryman> i will try it then
[02:18] <Dragon67> nickrud: is it going to work in ubuntu?
[02:18] <Pelo> zeemystteryman,just try it
[02:18] <jerry_> hi
[02:18] <mattgyver83> _jdw.  I have installed that however i cannot locate any of my devices.  any suggestions?
[02:18] <matkix> mather, Where do i find wice?
[02:18] <_jwd_> lemme look matkix
[02:18] <nickrud> Dragon67:  just look for it in synaptic , it's available
[02:18] <Pelo> zeemystteryman, if you can boot that way you'll just need to dl the supergrub cd and fix it ,easy enough
[02:18] <mather> matkix: google it
[02:18] <mather> wicd
[02:18] <mather> i dont think its in the repos
[02:18] <Dragon67> nickrud: thanks a lo
[02:18] <Dragon67> lot

[02:20] <Pirate-King> mplayer xine?
[02:20] <Pelo> zeemystteryman, it won'T be but check if you can boot from the internal with the external plugged in first, that way we will know if that is the problem I think it is
[02:20] <mather> bltzfsck: im confused with all the harddrive talk... you wanna run ubuntu from the thumb drive, so whats the harddrive got to do with it? or were you talking to someone else?
[02:20] <Draggin> nickrud - composite? Composite what?  Not sure what you mean

[02:21] <Pelo> zeemystteryman, , check in gparted, figuere out the /dev/hd** of the external hdd

[02:28] <jrib> wsguede: argh, I mean "ntfs-config"
[02:28] <nickrud> brand0con: let me see your partitions, because sda and sdb are disks not partitions
[02:28] <Pelo> rredd4, just use the manual partitionning options, crate a partiton on the sdb hdd,  after the screen that looks like the partiton editor,you'll get a screen that lets you specify what goes where put / on the sdb1 and /home on sdb2 and don'T forget to make a /swap
[02:28] <subcool> Ubuntu Partitions - whats normal? I am use to mandriva
[02:28] <brand0con> ok
[02:28] <rredd4> brand0con  they are now called sd...  not hd...
[02:28] <bascule> brand0con: sdb is a seperate drive not partition
[02:28] <jrib> wsguede: pastebin 'blkid'
[02:28] <shoeunited> It is set to open currently, and it is using channel 11.
[02:28] <wsguede> jrib: i used some program and it did it for me
[02:29] <jrib> wsguede: what program?
[02:29] <shoeunited> I believe it is using b/g
[02:29] <brand0con> oh thx rredd
[02:29] <Draggin> cracker... Is it possible to copy text from VI and then paste it in Links?
[02:29] <kimsheera> へっぉ
[02:29] <Pelo> zeemystteryman,  there is only one  the icon on the destkiop, the important bit you need to remember to get this working problerly is that on the last dialog screen of the installer  you need to chagne hd0,0 to hd1,0
[02:29] <bascule> Draggin: gpm may allow that
[02:29] <zeemystteryman> ok
[02:29] <wsguede> Storage devise manager... it was off that website u gave me
[02:29] <zeemystteryman> that didnt show up
[02:29] <Pelo> !enter | shoeunited
[02:29] <Draggin> bascule - gpm?
[02:29] <ubotu> shoeunited: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:29] <mckooter> hey got a question for a friend: (with no internet) as you will see in a sec, hes looking for a cheap ide wireless card that has nice suppoort for ubuntu, he has one now with next to nothing and ndiswrapper hates him, any ideas?
[02:29] <nickrud> Draggin:if you install gpm you can copy and paste with the middle button
[02:29] <shoeunited> Pelo: I considered that, but I ran the test right after him and peeked, he would say if he was bogarting. lol
[02:29] <wsguede> jrib: Storage devise manager... it was off that website u gave me
[02:29] <jrib> Draggin: copy to "*
[02:29] <bascule> !info gpm | draggin
[02:29] <ubotu> draggin: gpm: General Purpose Mouse Interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.19.6-25 (gutsy), package size 372 kB, installed size 708 kB
[02:29] <zeemystteryman> but i managed to find it by going to advanced
[02:29] <Pelo> zeemystteryman, in the summary screen at the very end
[02:30] <sp0ro1> shoeunited: Guessing you made sure no other APs in your area are using channel 11 already since 6 is default. Are the antennas on both the AP and the NIC situated at a 90-degree vertical angle?
[02:30] <brand0con> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51611/
[02:30] <wsguede> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51610/
[02:30] <bascule> Draggin: allows mouse in the shell, middle click paste
[02:30] <jrib> Draggin: (and then use the X clipboard by middle clicking to paste)
[02:30] <zeemystteryman> I changed it form (hd0) to (hd1)
[02:30] <rredd4> Pelo do I select the partitons one at a time?  I have sdb1, sdb2 and unallocated (for swap)
[02:30] <shoeunited> sp0ro1, No, I don't think so, I didn't consider that.
[02:30] <kimsheera> does my apache server work?
[02:30] <Draggin> Wow... The universe is conspiring against me... That sounds great, but I don't have a middle mouse button... hehe
[02:30] <Pelo> shoeunited, I din'T mean he was doing it voluntaraly but if you are testing while he,s using the internet some of it is used by him, if you get me
[02:30] <jrib> wsguede: it seems you have sda5 as a swap partition
[02:31]  * bascule assumed Draggin was at a shell using vim and links :)
[02:31] <Hammer89> how do I access a local windows network?
[02:31] <Pelo> rredd4, I would assume so , I ahven't actualy seen that bit in a while,  I've been setup along those lines for over a year
[02:31] <shoeunited> Pelo, I understand. :)  He had to reboot though while I ran my test.
[02:31] <Draggin> bascule - I am
[02:31] <Arthur> What's the wget command to download http://m.peponas.free.fr/gngeo/download/gngeo-0.6.12.tar.gz ?
[02:31] <wsguede> sda5 IS my swap... on my 80gb
[02:31] <wsguede> sda5 IS my swap... on my 80gb jrib
[02:31] <jrib> Arthur: wget URL
[02:31] <shep_> j #mac
[02:31] <Laurenceb> can anyone help me
[02:31] <Arthur> Thank you
[02:31] <jrib> wsguede: so where is your music?
[02:31] <Pelo> zeemystteryman, you should be good to go then
[02:31] <bascule> Draggin: both together may emulate middle, dunno if gpm has a config
[02:31] <LjL> shep_: probably #macintosh, and /j
[02:31] <Laurenceb> whats tixwish/
[02:32] <wsguede> on my ntfs 250 gb jrib
[02:32] <Arthur> I could have sworn that there was something else, but oh well
[02:32] <sp0ro1> shoeunited: Try that, it probably won't make a huge difference, but it will help signal strength. Especially if you roam around with a laptop or something.
[02:32] <zeemystteryman> ok
[02:32] <jrib> wsguede: yes, but what partition?
[02:32] <zeemystteryman> thanks for the help
[02:32] <Draggin> what a damn mission...
[02:32] <zeemystteryman> i will be back if it doesnt work
[02:32] <Pelo> zeemystteryman, best of luck
[02:32] <jrib> wsguede: sda1?
[02:32] <shep_> kay so my laptop still isnt recognizing my headphones like it used to, just keeps playing on speaker :(
[02:32] <wsguede> no 5
[02:32] <wsguede> jrib: no 5
[02:32] <tretle> does anyone else have rhythmbox crash when loading the upnp plugin?
[02:32] <WellingtonIII> i like cheese
[02:32] <wsguede> haha
[02:32] <jrib> wsguede: you just told me sda5 was your swap...
[02:32] <zeemystteryman> ty
[02:32] <kimsheera> http://<IP_ADDRESS> is my test ububtu server... guess what platform...
[02:32] <wsguede> jrib: 2 different hdds
[02:32] <sp0ro1> shoeunited: As for your transfer rate, have you tried situating the router anywhere else in the room?
[02:32] <nickrud> brand0con: try this one http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51613/
[02:33] <mckooter> anyone know of a cheap wireless card (ide) that has good support not using ndiswrapper
[02:33] <Pelo> mckooter, try asking in #hardware
[02:33] <shoeunited> sp0ro1, So this could be a situation of antennas at weird angles?  Also, I forgot to mention that yesterday, I that the router had dropped me but ubuntu wouldn't drop the netgear connection even though it was @ 0% I even went and grabbed a wired connection and it wouldn't let go.  I had to do a full restart to get it to dump.
[02:33] <mckooter> pelo: thanks
[02:33] <Pelo> mckooter, ask for a card with good linux support instead
[02:33] <subcool> a link works too
[02:33] <brand0con> nickrud: thx much.  tried somethign similar to this at one point and couldnt get it right.  hopefully this is the ticket
[02:33] <Draggin> kimsheera... That's running on an iPhone??
[02:34] <kimsheera> yea
[02:34] <jrib> wsguede: sda5 the fifth partition on your first hard drive, you can't have it be both
[02:34] <nickrud> brand0con: I"ve got my fingers crossed. Not real familar with how mixed ide and sata work
[02:34] <sp0ro1> shoeunited: Hm, that could be an authentication problem. Do you have MAC address restrictions set on your network or something?
[02:34] <kimsheera> so is my chat client
[02:34] <shoeunited> sp0ro1, No, I hadn't since it was reporting 84% when it was right next to the comp.  Since you mentioned metal interference, possibly that is creating noise and ruining my connection?
[02:34] <Draggin> kimsheera - wow :)  That's really cool
[02:34] <jrib> wsguede: pastebi 'mount'
[02:34] <wsguede> jrib:  correct sda5 is ntfs and sdb5 is swap
[02:34] <Arthur> How do I open tar.gz files through the ternimal?
[02:34] <kimsheera> unpack
[02:35] <jrib> Arthur: tar xf file.tar.gz
[02:35] <shoeunited> sp0ro1, Not that I'm aware, though I did see an area in the router setup specifying a specific mac address.
[02:35] <Arthur> Many thanks
[02:35] <sp0ro1> shoeunited: If you're getting 84%, most likely not, but it could cause collisions and/or make your CSMA collision avoidance system queue your computer up and make you have longer wait times to process things.
[02:35] <Draggin> nickrud... I don't know anymore...
[02:35] <ibrahim> while installing ubuntu this message occured " create symlink /dev/root/ " i didnot understand what should i do pls help me
[02:35] <brand0con> nickrud: are you noting my drives to be sata because of their sda sdb notation or something else
[02:35] <Draggin> nickrud - do you have any last suggestions before I go mad? :)
[02:36] <nickrud> Draggin: I'm not real good with nvidia, especially since they started splitting drivers into three
[02:36] <brand0con> *drive
[02:36] <alexbOrsova> does anyone the device for the pc speaker (the built-in one) under /dev/?
[02:36] <wsguede> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51615/
[02:36] <Pelo> ibrahim, search for the error msg in www.ubuntuforums.org my guess it is an easy fix but I just don'T know that you are suppose to link to
[02:36] <nickrud> brand0con: that's the assumption, yes
[02:36] <Draggin> nickrud - no problem - thanks a lot for your patience though
[02:36] <brand0con> ok
[02:36] <brand0con> thx
[02:36] <kimsheera> I am plauged with the orange square of bug
[02:37] <sp0ro1> shoeunited: But to be completely honest, I don't think any of that would slow down your transfer speed. It might just be a compatibility issue between the router and the NIC. I've seen it happen before between different vendor wireless products.
[02:37] <ian__> i'm having an issue with autodir w/autofs4 in gutsy. i think i might need a newer kernel. is there an easy way to try out a pre-built newer kernel?
[02:37] <Pelo> alexbOrsova, try looking for hte speakers in menu > system > admin > hardware info ( might be in prefs)
[02:37] <ibrahim> Pelo: thx alot
[02:37] <alexbOrsova> is there anyway to track what devices under /dev/ a program uses?
[02:37] <majikins> hi-has anyone followed this guide? http://www.howtoforge.com/openldap-samba-domain-controller-ubuntu7.10-p1
[02:37] <alexbOrsova> Pelo: thanks
[02:37] <jrib> wsguede: ok, notice your fstab *is* trying to use sda5 as swap, change line 8 to use your sdb5 instead
[02:38] <wsguede> jrib: you lost me
[02:38]  * Pelo makes no promises , unless there is something in it for him
[02:38] <shoeunited> sp0ro1, the thing is (ironically) that ubuntu had more or less been happy with this connection for the last two weeks. :/
[02:38] <wsguede> <-- noob        jrib
[02:38] <jrib> wsguede: oh wait, that's funky.  Your UUID for sda5 and sdb5 are the same
[02:38] <majikins> I've followed it dilligently but getting 'path not found' when trying to add xp box to domain
[02:38]  * nickrud is tired of Pelo's extraneous comments scrolling the window ;p
[02:38] <wsguede> jrib: i am going to imagin that is not a good thing
[02:38] <shoeunited> sp0ro1, In the last 48 hours it seems to have started difficulties.  I considered network things, but I haven't installed anything besides sdlmame in the last 2 days.
[02:38]  * Pelo hides the handfull of breadcrums jrib left for wsguede behind his back
[02:39] <wsguede> thanks pelo... i dont like bread crumbs
[02:39] <sp0ro1> shoeunited: Yeah, but CSMA|CA doesn't knock you off your connection, it just pauses whatever you're doing until whatever other device(or interfering object) is finished doing what it's doing, then resumes.
[02:39] <shoeunited> hmm
[02:39] <releod> Can anyone offer a website that shows/explains how to run ubuntu headless (x11)
[02:40] <Pelo> releod, just install the server version
[02:40] <jrib> is it possible for blkid to provide stale UUIDs.  If so, how can make sure the information is accurate?  wsguede has two different partitions that blkid claims have the same UUID
[02:40] <alexbOrsova> does anyone know how to tell what device the "beep" command is using (under /dev/)?
[02:40] <sp0ro1> shoeunited: Which could essentially could make your download speeds *LOOK* slower, when infact they are actually just stalled. If it is an interfering object though, it would clog your network and you wouldn't even be able to do anything. So I'm not sure if that is the problem at all.
[02:40] <Pelo> alexbOrsova, it is using the soundcard
[02:40] <releod> Pelo: is it easy to swap to the server version from the desktop version?
[02:41] <nickrud> jrib: I had that situation, I wrote new ones with tune2fs -U . They don't show in blkid until reboot
[02:41] <alexbOrsova> Pelo: no, it's not
[02:41] <alexbOrsova> Pelo: it's using the built0in speaker on my computer
[02:41] <nickrud> jrib: it was due to a dd , that carried over the UUID to the new partition
[02:41] <alexbOrsova> Pelo: and I can't find the device for it
[02:41] <jrib> wsguede: for now, just edit line 8 to say "/dev/sdb5" instead of the "UUID=fecc186c-d322-4e7b-ae1b-f953af309805"
[02:41] <sp0ro1> shoeunited: Have you tried checking your network for IPs or dual MAC addresses? You could possibly have a leecher if your system is open.
[02:41] <Pelo> releod, I guess you could just remove the ubuntu-desktop files
[02:41] <alexbOrsova> Pelo: unless the built-in speaker is controlled by the soundcard? I don't think it is.
[02:41] <Pelo> releod,  taht would get you just the minimal part fo ubuntu , hold on
[02:42] <shoeunited> I've been checking for leechers. lol ^_^
[02:42] <jrib> nickrud: thanks
[02:42] <Pelo> alexbOrsova, check in menu > system > prefs > sounds, second tab I Think  see what device is used for system sound or system events or smeothing
[02:42] <theshadow> I just installed a new laptop with 7.10 didn't have internet till after the install. Now when I try to install something it tells me to refresh the package list which I tell it to then when I try to install something it does the same thing
[02:42] <Pelo> releod, hold on I think I have what you need here , gime a sec
[02:42] <shoeunited> sp0ro1, I will try checking my MAC addy's and try moving the router though.  As well as checking the antennae.  I will give those a shot first before I ask for more help stabbing in the dark. lol ^_^  ty :)
[02:43] <alexbOrsova> Pelo: i did, and I can't open any of the devices under there except the one used for normal speaker output
[02:43] <releod> Pelo: ok
[02:43] <sp0ro1> shoeunited: Np, just work with the stuff you can try to change without completely altering the network first...although moving the router is essentially doing that I suppose. ;P
[02:44] <wsguede> jrib: what do u mean just edit it
[02:44] <Pelo> releod, just the remove ubuntu line , no need to install,  kde , that should get you down to just the command line version of ubuntu ei headless as you call it   http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde
[02:44] <Alpha> hum
[02:44] <wsguede> jrib how do i do that?
[02:44] <sp0ro1> I would try to setup WPA on your AP though if you can.
[02:45] <Pelo> alexbOrsova, just so I just don'T keep driving you in circles, what is the actual problem you are trying to resolve ?
[02:45] <jrib> wsguede: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[02:45] <Fin1> mount /dev/lasers /mnt/sharks
[02:45] <sam__> alright im running ubuntu and i would like to know if it is possible to install windows to dual boot now. My friend told me you have to install windows first and then ubuntu
[02:45] <Raspberry> How do I turn on DRI?  It was running and after running updates it's stopped...  now anything 3d (including screensavers) is really choppy
[02:45] <Draggin> Well... off to try some more random fixes...
[02:45] <Fin1> woooo....now i have lasers mounted on sharks
[02:45] <nickrud> sam__: you should do windows first, but it's fixable. see the next factoid in a pm
[02:45] <releod> Pelo: this will leave my users directory in-place still right?
[02:45] <Draggin> thanks for all the help
[02:45] <nickrud> !grub | sam__
[02:45] <ubotu> sam__: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[02:46] <Fin1> time for world domination!
[02:46] <nickrud> Draggin: good luck
[02:46] <Pelo> sam__, that is the best way to go about it ,  installing windows messes up the ubuntu boot loader
[02:46] <alexbOrsova> Pelo: I can't seem to find the device file for my computer's built-in speaker under /dev/
[02:46] <sp0ro1> shoeunited: if none of that works, start looking into your NIC configurations and/or what you have changed since you have been getting slower speeds.
[02:46] <alexbOrsova> Pelo: even though I know it must be there, the beep command uses it
[02:46] <sam__> alrighty thanks
[02:46] <Pelo> releod, yes, this only removes progs related to the ubuntu desktop and such
[02:46] <amigamiga> hello can i use ubuntu as an enterprise server?
[02:46] <amigamiga> the server version?
[02:47] <nickrud> amigamiga: yes, that's it's intent.
[02:47] <alexbOrsova> Pelo: background info: I'm trying to open it from a c++ program but I need to know the filename of the device
[02:47] <Pelo> alexbOrsova, the question is , why do you need to find this file ?
[02:47] <merde> I just installed ubuntu.  installed the nvidia drivers using the drivers from the nvidia page
[02:47] <wsguede> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51616/        correct?
