[21:20] <dazjorz> wiehan: so first of all, what filesystem do you want it to be?
[21:20] <jamesclayden0127> i have my a user for me set up perfectly but if i try and add another user trying to replicate all my settings all i et is a blank white screen. the alt+ctrl+f1 comand still works to get me out. what am i doing wrong
[21:20] <n8tuser> Alpert-> are you running 64bit?
[21:20] <wiehan> dazjorz: ok, sorry - I'm not real good with terminology... but i need the UUID... Oh, I think I'll settle for XFS
[21:20] <Alpert> I think so
[21:20] <sagredo> YO - I need a cli interface into Ubuntu's default Remote desktop preferences
[21:20] <sagredo> Who's got this
[21:20] <sagredo> hook this up
[21:20] <ikonia> sagredo: what do you mean ?
[21:20] <n8tuser> !who
[21:21] <Alpert> I have a dell insipron B130
[21:21] <help_> sigh, I'll do a format I think.. it's not an refresh rate issue
[21:21] <ikonia> sagredo: remote desktop is graphical, there is no command line tool
[21:21] <sagredo> ikonia: :(
[21:21] <dazjorz> wiehan: what do you need the uuid for?
[21:21] <help_> and there's nothing about monitor resolutions in xorg.conf
[21:21] <ikonia> sagredo: you can access it over ssh, but that is a shell not a desktop
[21:21] <schmrz> ikonia: he probably wants to know how to config and setup remote desktop from console
[21:21] <help_> I tried the reconfigure thing, didn't work
[21:21] <wiehan> dazjorz: to do this: ARRAY /dev/md0 level=linear num-devices=2 UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[21:21] <sagredo> ikonia: I'm in it ssh right now chatting to you
[21:22] <eax> Hi :) Am I the only one having problems with the Gnome GUI in 8.10? It really acts weird :S (hard to describe but it turns white and the graphic glitches)
[21:22] <heril> help_: check for configuration files in your home directory
[21:22] <dazjorz> wiehan: I think that *sets* the UUID
[21:22] <dazjorz> doesn't it?
[21:22] <Alpert> n8tner: Dell inspiron B130
[21:22] <Barrett666_> uh
[21:23] <help_> maybe for next version they should add a countdown timer about if you want to keep that resolution or not so people don't bump into these kinds of problems :)
[21:23] <Barrett666_> this is a very little channel
[21:23] <Barrett666_> lol
[21:23] <wiehan> dazjorz: no, ok, let me spill the entire can of beans: I'm folowing this tutorial to set up a RAID:lin to span a partition accross 2 drives, and the guy skips a step: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=660021
[21:23] <n8tuser> help_-> did you do what i asked you ?
[21:23] <jack_> is this the general help room for ubuntu?
[21:23] <OxDeadC0de> sagredo: If you use ssh, you can install a local xorg server on the computer you're sshing from (xorg on linux, xming on windows), then use your ssh client to route xorg stuff over ssh, then run xorg programs from ssh without xorg running on the remote machine
[21:23] <help_> n8tuser, the vga=791?
[21:23] <schmrz> jack_: yes
[21:24] <jack_> thank you
[21:24] <soho> somebody here using twinkle?
[21:24] <n8tuser> help_-> or the other ctrl+alt+  +  on the numpad?
[21:24] <help_> I'll check it out, hope it works, thank you guys'!
[21:24] <ikonia> sagredo: what do you mean
[21:24] <ikonia> sorry
[21:24] <ikonia> typo
[21:24] <fujin_> ahoj
[21:24] <onetinsoldier> phreck: ln -sv /path_to_script/script_name /usr/local/bin   ...to do it from just one file.  if you're going to have a bunch of scripts or executable in the directory where this script is, then do   ln -sv /path_to_script_dir /usrlocal/bin  ..or you can add the path of this dir to you environment, like to link that heril gave you shows
[21:24] <Saga_> Somebody here using Ubuntu Encrypted LVM?  I have laptop on that -- Is it possible to resize partition to make a new encrypted partition?
[21:24] <dazjorz> wiehan: I see now
[21:25] <dazjorz> wiehan: and mdadm has no --scan?
[21:25] <Alpert> This problem consequently wont let me download ndisgtk (windows wireless drivers)
[21:25] <jamesclayden0127> i have my a user for me set up perfectly but if i try and add another user trying to replicate all my settings all i get after logging on with the new uses is a blank white screen. the alt+ctrl+f1 comman still works to get me out. what am i doing wrong
[21:25] <wiehan> dazjorz: he just says use the --scan command... I've been trying that for ages - and can't figure out how so that it will print the uuid of /dev/md0
[21:25] <schmrz> Alpert: What problem?
[21:25] <dazjorz> wiehan: note that that isn't a tutorial or howto, he's asking for help ;)
[21:26] <Alpert> schmrz: in add/remove programs, I get this message for 95% of the applications I can add: "[program name] cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware or the vendor decided not to support your computer type"
[21:26] <patrick-1> anyone: how do i change the default display in xorg.conf with an ATI gfx in dualhead mode ?
[21:26] <dazjorz> wiehan: /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray or so?
[21:26] <wida> ccczzesc
[21:26] <patrick-1> so that the logon screen is on the "other" display
[21:27] <HOMEMADEJAM> I have a blog that I have recently started... just has a few Ubuntu tips & tricks on it :) If anyone wants to check it out, please do :D  http://www.jamsubuntu.blogspot.com
[21:27] <wiehan> dazjorz: I don't know how to use the --scan command correctly - mdadm is an extremly difficult piece of software; YES: I nottice he is asking for help, but in the next reply or so his question is solved easily - so I think this is good to follow, there isn't anice clear concise guid like this (and this isn't really neat) out threre
[21:27] <d_mitry> how to go about finding the audio driver?
[21:27] <ikonia> HOMEMADEJAM: please don't advertise your url's
[21:27] <AndreasMadrid> hi!  is there a way to find out, which have been the last packets that i have installed with synaptic?
[21:27] <HOMEMADEJAM> Oh okay.. sorry :) I wasn't spamming or anything...
[21:28] <LjL> AndreasMadrid: cat /var/log/dpkg.log (might add a | grep installed)
[21:28] <virgo1143> nice blog jam
[21:28]  * onetinsoldier wonders if phreck has passed out at his/her keyboard
[21:28] <HOMEMADEJAM> thanks
[21:28] <AndreasMadrid> Ljl thank you
[21:28] <ikonia> HOMEMADEJAM: not a problem, you may want to consider taking some of those tips that HELP users and putting it on the ubuntu community wiki at https://help.ubuntu.com
[21:29] <patrick-1> anyone: how do i change the default display in xorg.conf with an ATI gfx in dualhead mode ? i want the logon screen to be on the other display

[21:29] <Beryllium> Hey, quick question: I'm connecting from Vista/Putty to a Ubuntu server ... and in vi, my number pad keys are putting in letters instead of numbers. Any idea how to fix this on the ubuntu side? Or is it a putty issue?
[21:29] <wiehan> dazjorz: nope: that last one didn't help either - because the array isn't yet fully active I think
[21:30] <simplexio> Beryllium: putty issue me thinks
[21:30] <simplexio> Beryllium: somehting to do terminal info .. i thik
[21:30] <heril> (jokingly) what is this number pad you speak of?
[21:30] <HOMEMADEJAM> I prefer to use vim then vi :)
[21:31] <ikonia> heril: if you know, why ask ?
[21:31] <ikonia> heril: don't waste peoples time
[21:31] <MetalliMyers> somebody change their nick
[21:31] <etyrnal> anyone know if Ubuntu 8+ will install on Del dimension 2350 celeron
[21:31] <MetalliMyers> I need to test something
[21:31] <ikonia> HOMEMADEJAM: vi is a symlink to vi on ubuntu
[21:31] <dazjorz> wiehan: I think you should man mdadm and search for --scan using /
[21:31] <HOMEMADEJAM> ...sorry? :S
[21:31] <ikonia> MetalliMyers: what do you want to test ?
[21:31] <heril> ikonia: you mean vi is a symlink to vim?
[21:31] <phreck> onetinsoldier, hah no i didnt pass out, had to step away from desk , read what you typed though, thanks
[21:31] <eax> Hi :) Am I the only one having problems with the Gnome GUI in 8.10? It really acts weird :S (hard to describe but it turns white and the graphic glitches)
[21:31] <ikonia> heril: yes
[21:31] <MetalliMyers> My irc client
[21:31] <ikonia> MetalliMyers: what about it? how will changing nick test anything,
[21:31] <MetalliMyers> I'm trying to get it to update in the user list
[21:31] <Beryllium> It works fine on the command line, it's only vi that it screws up in
[21:32] <ikonia> MetalliMyers: this is ubuntu support , not irc testing
[21:32] <dazjorz> etyrnal: why wouldn't it?
[21:32] <MetalliMyers> bah
[21:32] <MetalliMyers> fine
[21:32] <onetinsoldier> phreck: ok, roger that. you're welcome
[21:32] <wiehan> dazjorz: sadly: I did, that thing is more dificult to read than the combined works of shakespeare, whilst riding on a rollercoaster
[21:32] <Alpert> How can I download Windows Wireless Drivers (ndisgtk)? It wont work through add/remove programs, or terminal. It isn't on the list in Synaptics
[21:32] <ikonia> !give ikonia a test
[21:32]  * Cosmo gives ikonia :ikonia!n=mattd@unaffiliated/ikonia PRIVMSG #ubuntu :+!give ikonia a test.
[21:32]  * basileus gives ikonia a boy scout
[21:32] <Beryllium> HOMEMADEJAM: While I tend to say "vi", it's just a symlink to "vim", as far as I know
[21:32] <Alpert> How can I download Windows Wireless Drivers (ndisgtk)? It wont work through add/remove programs, or terminal. It isn't on the list in Synaptics
[21:33] <Talirk81> does anyone know how i cant  cause ocfs kernel panics to  log  to  a file  messages and kern.log dont have any data on why it panics
[21:33] <dazjorz> wiehan: I suggest you find a different howto then ?
[21:33]  * d_mitry should've scanned the documentation first.
[21:33] <MetalliMyers> I guess I could change my own nick
[21:33] <dazjorz> wiehan: I don't know anything else, I haven't ever set up RAID - but I think you don't need the UUID
[21:33] <MetalliMyers_tes> yeah, it worked
[21:33] <MetalliMyers_tes> duh
[21:33] <dazjorz> wiehan: not the UUID "of /dev/md0" at least, that doesn't make all the sense in the world
[21:33] <wiehan> dazjorz: thanks for the help...
[21:34] <dazjorz> wiehan: once you figure it out, let me know, or create a wiki page at https://help.ubuntu.com/
[21:34] <dazjorz> wiehan: that would be great :)
[21:34] <blistov> ok, jesus.  has anyone noticed evolution crashing constantly after about 10 seconds of running after some updates about a week ago?
[21:34] <Minty95> hi all
[21:34] <dazjorz> wiehan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID <-- isn't this what you need by the way? :)
[21:35] <heril> blistov: evolution works fine for me
[21:35] <cdecarlo> is there an issue with the canadian repos?
[21:35] <blistov> I have ~250 people with evolution crashing.
[21:35] <ikonia> blistov: so why are you asking us if we've seen it ?
[21:35] <dazjorz> wiehan: it's not exactly what you need, but it may help.
[21:35] <blistov> cdecarlo: yes.  use rafal, or go american
[21:35] <cdecarlo> blistov: rafal?
[21:35] <Minty95> have installed ubuntu on my boys comp with dual boot, now when he tries rebooting into xp gets "starting up ...." and nothing else, any ideas please
[21:35] <blistov> ikonia: to find out if anyone has heard of a bug.
[21:36] <ikonia> blistov: you said you have 250 people with it, so you know people have heard of it
[21:36] <blistov> cdecarlo: mirror.rafal.  still pulls 1MB/s
[21:36] <Alpert> Will someone query me for help? I've asked 4 times in here, and I've been ignored.
[21:36] <dazjorz> wiehan: see also the Resources and Using mdadm section :)
[21:36] <ThistleWeb> Minty95, did you instal windows or linux first?
[21:36] <ikonia> Alpert: what's the problem
[21:36] <Alpert> first, in add/remove programs, I get this message for 95% of the applications I can add: "[program name] cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware or the vendor decided not to support your computer type"
[21:36] <blistov> ikonia: yea, they're all my 250 people.  i need to know if anyone has submitted a bug officially. I can't find one, but i can't imagine its just my company having this problem.
[21:36] <Alpert> Which leads me to not being able to download ndisgtk so I can get wireless
[21:37] <blistov> I expect everyone using groupwise is experiencing this, but still, no bug anywhere.
[21:37] <ikonia> blistov: submit the bug, you can always mark it as duplicate if you find one
[21:37] <Minty95> ThistleWeb, xp firts
[21:37] <Minty95> and then just installe ubuntu as usual
[21:37] <cdecarlo> blistov: we've been having issues with evolution and exchange lately
[21:37] <blistov> cdecarlo: what kind of issues?
[21:37] <ikonia> Alpert: please show me the output of uname -a
[21:37] <wiehan> dazjorz: thanks, was reading didn't see all your messages - I will follow the advice...
[21:37] <cdecarlo> blistov: for some reason it just seems to stop connecting, says that the account is offline
[21:38] <ThistleWeb> k, windows overwrites your bootloader, and "forgets" any non-windows OS it finds
[21:38] <flUSK> Hey i'm trying to open my firefox and it gives me : Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
[21:38] <zetharx> fstab question: i have my vfat jump drive mounting with mount options  =  user,rw,async
[21:38] <zetharx> but the problem is that when it mounts on bootup, the directory in which it is set to mount gets reset to being owned by root such that i cannot write to the drive unless i manually change permissions.  how do i get it to belong to my user on mount?
[21:38] <flUSK> i tried uninstallijng it and installing it again same prob
[21:38] <ThistleWeb> look at the menu.list file
[21:38] <flUSK> restarted same prob
[21:38] <Alpert> ikonia: how do I do that?
[21:38] <ikonia> Alpert: open a terminal from the applications menu and type uname -a and paste the results in this windows
[21:39] <blistov> cdecarlo: different issue from what we've got.  I have ~250 clients who previously had no problem, have evolution crash after 10 seconds after connecting to groupwise.  Every time.
[21:39] <ThistleWeb> it may be that its not pointed at the correct place
[21:39] <HELP_m3> i kant even open firefox to look up problem
[21:39] <HELP_m3> !
[21:39] <HELP_m3> Hey i'm trying to open my firefox and it gives me : Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
[21:39] <cdecarlo> blistov: I'm quickly losing faith with evolution
[21:40] <heril> HELP_m3: open a terminal and killall firefox
[21:40] <ThistleWeb> HELP_m3, you can see your firefox in your taskbar, from there you can kill it
[21:40] <ThistleWeb> or killall works too
[21:40] <onetinsoldier> HELP_m3 - in a terminal try this command..   killall firefox   ...that may not work, but try it first
[21:41] <wiehan> dazjorz: YOU ARE A LEGEND.  I LOVE YOU. I WANT YOU BABIES - That worked.... now only to test it and probably run into more poblems, but what the heck - thanks
[21:41] <Alpert> ikonia: my terminal hasn't worked since I started
[21:41] <Alpert> its weirf
[21:41] <HELP_m3> i did!
[21:41] <ThistleWeb> I like to have xkill in the menu for an easy hit
[21:41] <jimcooncat> HELP_m3: I have to use "killall firefox-bin" on my machine
[21:41] <HELP_m3> it din't
[21:41] <dazjorz> wiehan: yay! :P
[21:41] <Alpert> Ikonia: when I type something in, I press enter, and nothing happens
[21:41] <ikonia> Alpert: what do you mean your terminal has not worked. Please be more specific
[21:41] <dazjorz> wiehan: that's one way to say thank you
[21:41] <ikonia> Alpert: such as
[21:41] <ikonia> Alpert: what are you typing
[21:41] <blistov> cdecarlo: well this is just poor.  I'm sure this is a major issue, and I cannot be the only one experiencing it, but I cannot figure out what is causing the crash, and no bug has been submitted apparently, though the problem has been evident for almost 2 weeks.
[21:41] <heril> HELP_m3: terminal command ps -e|grep firefox
[21:41] <Alpert> uname -a
[21:41] <blistov> Maybe I'm the only company using groupwise anymore?
[21:41] <ikonia> HELP_m3: if you reboot it will fix it, lets be quick and easy
[21:42] <Alpert> ikonia: even if I type anything like sudo-apt or something like that, nothing happens
[21:42] <ikonia> Alpert: thats not a command
[21:42] <heril> ikonia: why reboot when you can just restart X?
[21:42] <ikonia> Alpert: open a terminal and type "uname -a" and show me the output
[21:42] <ikonia> heril: may still be in the process list if it's hung
[21:42] <ikonia> heril: if it was still running I'd agree with you
[21:42] <Alpert> oh
[21:42] <HELP_m3> i did reboot
[21:42] <HELP_m3> same problem
[21:43] <HELP_m3> i uninstalled and installe
[21:43] <HELP_m3> same problem!
[21:43] <eax> Alpert: otherwise you can try pressing ctrl+alt+F1 to revert to normal you can press alt+f7
[21:43] <heril> ps -e|grep firefox
[21:43] <heril> does it give anything?
[21:43] <HELP_m3> heril i did same problem
[21:43] <heril> that command doesn't fix anything, just a diagnostic
[21:43] <HELP_m3> 6508 ?        00:00:01 firefox
[21:43] <heril> does it have any output
[21:43] <ikonia> HELP_m3: you can't have uninstalled and re-installed firefox as it's linked to the whole gome desktop

[21:44] <ThistleWeb> i use it on xfce / openbox.....no gnome installed

[21:45] <DRebellion> eax, ask in #openoffice.org
[21:45] <onetinsoldier> HELP_m3: try the ps -e | grep firefox again
[21:45] <bruenig> Hypnus9: guys
[21:45] <HELP_m3> but it was acting funny would enable the back foward refresh, or stop button
[21:45] <Hypnus9> ok.
[21:45] <HELP_m3> so i made new profile and fixed it
[21:45] <eax> DRebellion: Thanks :)

[21:47] <foolusion> while watching youtube videos my laptop will overheat and shutdown... this happens on windows also. My fan is working anyone have any suggestions?
[21:47] <ortsvorsteher> !downgrade
[21:47] <ikonia> Alpert: so in that same command line, type the following "sudo apt-get update" - what happens (don't paste just tell me)
[21:48] <eax> foolusion: You could try to use a vacuumcleaner on the fans.. Worked for me :)
[21:48] <heril> or just compressed air
[21:48] <eax> foolusion: Be careful though..
[21:48] <foolusion> with a vacuum?
[21:48] <jimcooncat> eax, foolusion, vaccuums make static
[21:48] <foolusion> oh
[21:48] <heril> foolusion: I don't suggest a vacuum
[21:48] <ThistleWeb> foolusion, do you have a lot of USB stuff attached?
[21:48] <eax> jimcooncat: Doesn't that depend on the vacuum?
[21:49] <heril> eax: its a risk with all

[21:49] <foolusion> if i unscrewed the fan would it be safer?
[21:49] <eax> Ohh okay..

[21:52] <Alpert> well, now its working again,
[21:52] <puffandstuff> is there a permanent way to tell cvs to use proxy please ?
[21:52] <Alpert> I forgot to close another manager
[21:52] <Slart> maleko: dd  with input from /dev/urandom.. blocks.. number of blocks
[21:52] <ikonia> Alpert: close it
[21:52] <Alpert> I did
[21:52] <Slart> maleko: I forget the exact syntax.. check man dd for more info
[21:52] <Alpert> the update appears to be working
[21:52] <durka> how about dd if=/dev/urandom of=~/test.garbage bs=10M
[21:52] <ortsvorsteher> maleko: try to cat an ascii file so often in a new file until its 10mb
[21:52] <zorglu_> maleko: use dd
[21:52] <Alpert> ikonia: so after the update, what do I do?
[21:52] <eax> maleko: Read slarts :)
[21:52] <Snowfire> I have no idea how to get sound working on Ubuntu
[21:52] <ikonia> Alpert: now lets try a test, "sudo apt-get install conky"
[21:53] <ortsvorsteher> Snowfire: is the sound device on board?
[21:53] <Snowfire> tried messing around with the sound preferences, I dont know what to do
[21:53] <blistov> maleko:  dd if=/dev/zero of=dummyfile bs=1024 count=10000
[21:53] <ortsvorsteher> !sound
[21:53] <Snowfire> the sound device is in there
[21:53] <Alpert> ikonia: its not done yet
[21:53] <blistov> maleko:  dd if=/dev/zero of=dummyfile bs=1024 count=10000
[21:53] <ikonia> Alpert: well, lets see when it is
[21:53] <Alpert> ok
[21:53] <ortsvorsteher> !sound | Snowfire
[21:53] <Snowfire> I put Ubuntu on my old gateway desktop
[21:53] <Alpert> ikonia: how long shouldd the update take?
[21:54] <ikonia> Alpert: depends how out of date you are
[21:54] <bucky1> .net
[21:54] <Snowfire> !sound
[21:54] <maleko> blistov: thanks
[21:54] <Alpert> I just installed yesterday
[21:54] <heril> Alpert: installed using?
[21:54] <jeancalvin> how can i find out my video card make, model, chip set id?
[21:54] <heril> because likely that means you are as out of date as possible
[21:54] <DIFH-iceroot> !wifi
[21:54] <blistov> maleko: np.
[21:55] <binarymutant> jeancalvin, lspci maybe

[21:56] <ortsvorsteher> !tv
[21:57] <joachimATjku> does anyone have a solution to the "no sound bug" when using a tv pinnacle pro tv card
[21:57] <joachimATjku> i hear the sound using  arecord -D hw:1,0 -f S16_LE -c2 -r48000  | aplay
[21:57] <Lennon> hi all
[21:57] <joachimATjku> but its quite annoying to enter this everytime starting tvtime
[21:57] <jimcooncat> Lennon: please forgive us if we don't all say hi back
[21:57] <jabba> hello
[21:57] <Lennon> no problem :)
[21:58] <regeya> ooh may we jimcooncat?
[21:58] <jimcooncat> regeya: let's all pm him instead
[21:58] <jabba> is it somehow possible to provide an internet connection to my windows CE pocket PC with ubuntu? (connected via USB... already installed synce)
[21:58] <djiezes> that'd be fun 1446 hi's ;)
[21:58] <regeya> lol
[21:59] <allsystemsarego> jeancalvin, lspci | grep -i vga
[21:59] <Some_Person> Can someone help me? The ubuntu installer and GParted both cannot see the partitions on my drive. They both show a large, unallocated drive.
[21:59] <jeancalvin> allsystemsarego: ty
[21:59] <dsmith_> Some_Person: NEW DRIVE?
[21:59] <Some_Person> dsmith_: No
[21:59] <dsmith_> weird
[21:59] <c_korn> does Mark Shuttleworth really want to see desktop screenshots from _all_ ubuntu users?
[22:00] <Some_Person> d_smith: Nautilus (the file manager) sees them, and fdisk sees them
[22:00] <neztiti> ubottu: i mean driver like fglx
[22:00] <dsmith_> c_korn: say what
[22:00] <Alpert> ikonia: update just finished
[22:00] <dsmith_> Some_Person: I have never seen that before
[22:00] <jeancalvin> allsystemsarego: is there also a way to find out model, make, id, other info, etc about my 2 monitors?
[22:01] <JacaByte> Alright, I'm back.
[22:01] <Some_Person> dsmith_: GParted throws this error when run from a terminal: Can't have a partition outside the disk!
[22:01] <JacaByte> !ask
[22:01] <allsystemsarego> jeancalvin, run the command dmesg
[22:01] <Alpert> ikonia: the install won't go anywhere from 0%. do I restart my computer?
[22:01] <allsystemsarego> jeancalvin, you may find it there
[22:01] <ikonia> Alpert: what command did you use
[22:01] <Lennon> funny bot
[22:02] <Alpert> sudo apt-get install conky
[22:02] <jeancalvin> allsystemsarego: so much info. don't know how to sort it out and find what i need.
[22:02] <ikonia> Alpert: ok, wait and lets see what happens
[22:02] <mrwes> re
[22:02] <djiezes> Some_Person: did you try gparted from a live cd?
[22:02] <JacaByte> Okay, does anybody know how to fix a Mirror Door Drive G4 so Ubuntu can put it into sleep mode? Right now it fails when it tries to do so.
[22:02] <Some_Person> djiezes: This is a live cd
[22:02] <Alpert> it's working!
[22:02] <allsystemsarego> jeancalvin, paste it at paste.ubuntu.com and post the link
[22:02] <Some_Person> djiezes: I am trying to install ubuntu
[22:03] <Alpert> ikonia: done
[22:03] <ikonia> Alpert: looks like it's working
[22:03] <NorthByNorthWest> Hi all! Simple question: will OpenOffice be autoupdated to version 3 in Intrepid or do I need to install it manually??
[22:03] <Alpert> ikonia: how do I get to conky now
[22:03] <ikonia> type "conky"
[22:03] <djiezes> Some_Person: and the unalocated space is the full disk-space?
[22:03] <Lennon> manually
[22:04] <Some_Person> djiezes: Yes. But there should be no unallocated space
[22:04] <jeancalvin> allsystemsarego: what syntax is the best to use? bash? plain text?
[22:04] <NorthByNorthWest> Lennon: That was an answer for me? :)
[22:04] <Stavros> how can i have my computer autojoin a wireless network on bootup? currently it waits for me to log in
[22:04] <Alpert> type conky where?
[22:04] <Lennon> yep
[22:04] <jeancalvin> allsystemsarego: http://paste.ubuntu.com/87354/ (in bash syntax)
[22:04] <ikonia> Alpert: in the terminal
[22:04] <Alpert> ok
[22:04] <Alpert> I did
[22:04] <Alpert> its a small black screen
[22:05] <ikonia> thats conky
[22:05] <NorthByNorthWest> Lennon: ok! thanks!
[22:05] <soho> somebody here using twinkle?
[22:05] <ikonia> Alpert: it was just a test application to see if your package manager was working fine, which it is
[22:05] <JacaByte> Nobody knows how to trouble sleep mode?
[22:05] <Lennon> np
[22:05] <Alpert> oh
[22:05] <Alpert> sweet
[22:05] <jimcooncat> NorthByNorthWest: Sometimes things like this will be available in the backports repository, but OOo would probably be too big a project for them
[22:05] <djiezes> Some_Person: I'm not sure, but maybe your MBR or partition table is broken?
[22:06] <Some_Person> djiezes: I already tried using TestDisk to fix it, and it seems like nothing is wrong
[22:06] <Saga_> !lvm partition > Saga_
[22:07] <jimcooncat> Some_Person: sometimes the LiveCD fails to detect stuff, you might try an Alternate or Mini installation
[22:07] <Lennon> lol ubottu. nice bot
[22:07] <Alpert> ikonia: I just installed ndisgtk (Windows Wireless Drivers), and it worked. I then typed in ndisgtk and got the error:
[22:07] <djiezes> Some_Person: weird, did you try booting from other live cd's? same problem?
[22:07] <Alpert> Root or sudo privleges required
[22:07] <allsystemsarego> jeancalvin, it's not there, here's another command that might have it: "lshw" - list hardware
[22:07] <regeya> some day, the spacer applet will be a standard part of kde4
[22:07] <dtcrshr> hi folks, im having an issue on ubuntu, when i sudo something, it takes a while, more than normal, and "could not resolve host ..."
[22:07] <berilio> how do i configure my finder print?
[22:07] <andrewluy> hi!!!
[22:07] <ikonia> use the command gksudo infront ot it
[22:08] <Alpert> ok
[22:08] <jeancalvin> lshw, allsystemsarego, doesn't seeem to have info on my monitors
[22:08] <mdmkolbe> What is a quick and easy way to preview a font under ubuntu?
[22:08] <Some_Person> djiezes: No I haven't. But I need this one working so I can install ubuntu
[22:09] <jeancalvin> lshw output is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/87356/, allsystemsarego
[22:09] <jamesclayden0127> i am having problems with setting up new users, i just get a blank white screen after loging in. it there a tutorial on this?
[22:09] <Alpert> ah
[22:09] <Alpert> it worked
[22:09] <allsystemsarego> jeancalvin, , ok, try this command: "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[22:09] <Some_Person> djiezes: http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/1192/issueff5.png
[22:09] <djiezes> Some_Person: well yes, but maybe you can prepare a partition with a gparted live cd & then reboot from your ubuntu install cd & see if it can find your partitions that way.
[22:10] <Alpert> ikonia: now that its working, I opened it up. There is a button that says Install New Driver and one that says configure network (I'm trying to install wireless internet)
[22:10] <Lennon> cya
[22:10] <randy3434> anyone willing to help me out with some networking problems?
[22:10] <jeancalvin> allsystemsarego: http://paste.ubuntu.com/87360/ is cat xorg.conf output
[22:10] <ortsvorsteher> !ask
[22:10] <Alpert> ikonia: now that its working, I opened it up. There is a button that says Install New Driver and one that says configure network (I'm trying to install wireless internet)
[22:11] <Some_Person> djiezes: Partitions are ready. Just need to format and install. This is actually a reinstall attempt at ubuntu
[22:11] <uselessalways> Is anyone familiar with the error in hardy/intrepid regarding being able to burns cds but not dvds? Is there a workaround besides going back to gutsy?
[22:11] <ikonia> Alpert: what do you want me to do
[22:11] <allsystemsarego> jeancalvin, I see a "Radeon X850XT Platinum"
[22:11] <jeancalvin> allsystemsarego: that's my video card, yes. but i'm looking for monitors info.
[22:11] <jimcooncat> mdmkolbe: Open Office Writer is easiest way I know to check out installed fonts
[22:12] <Alpert> Ikonia: I dont have my drivers for my Dell Inspiron B130 for wireless, and I need wireless on my laptop
[22:12] <ikonia> Alpert: have you read the documentation on ndiswrapper
[22:12] <ikonia> !ndis | Alpert
[22:12] <mdmkolbe> jimcooncat: it's not installed, it's just a font I downloaded and want to look at to see whether I want to install it
[22:12] <\\`oot> Hi folks
[22:13] <Alpert> ikonia: yes, but I can't get it to work. I can't figure out how to set it up
[22:13] <\\`oot> Anyone here?
[22:13] <kurisutofuaa> Trying to find a walk-through sync my Palm Vx serial through a usb dongle anyone?
[22:13] <ikonia> \\`oot: 1300+ users
[22:13] <allsystemsarego> jeancalvin, I don't think I can help
[22:13] <\\`oot> I need to mount a Samba share, and it's not working
[22:13] <ikonia> !ndiswrapper
[22:13] <jeancalvin> allsystemsarego: ok. thank you for your time.
[22:13] <allsystemsarego> jeancalvin, are you dual-booting?
[22:13] <randy3434> Alright. I can't get online in Ubuntu. I've tried configuring the network settings every which way, and they all LOOK like they're right. I've restarted networking, restarted the computer, and it won't connect. Other computers on the network, both wired and wireless, work just fine. Within Ubuntu, I can connect to the router in firefox, but nothing else. Oddly, XP in VMware connects just fine.
[22:13] <jeancalvin> allsystemsarego: no. just ubuntu 8.10
[22:13] <\\`oot> I can do it from withing (shudder) Vista... but not from Ubuntu
[22:13] <jimcooncat> mdmkolbe: gnome-font-viewer
[22:13] <allsystemsarego> jeancalvin, ok, good luck
[22:13] <\\`oot> can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
[22:14] <ikonia> \\`oot: not got smbfs installed ?
[22:14] <\\`oot> it shows up in the Places, and I can keep clicking 'till i see the shares
[22:14] <\\`oot> but when I try and "mount volume" it just keeps acting like I'm getting the credentials wrong
[22:14] <\\`oot> :(
[22:15] <digitalvaldosta> I would like to keep my printer shared on my 8.10 desktop to my 8.04.1 laptop. I had it shared before but now it is not. What happened?
[22:15] <ikonia> \\`oot: is your ubuntu username the same as your windows one ?
[22:15] <\\`oot> no
[22:15] <ikonia> \\`oot: thats the problem then
[22:15] <\\`oot> sadly
[22:15] <\\`oot> it's not a Windows machine, it's a Gentoo (ancient, ancient box) share
[22:15] <joachimATjku> does anybody know how i can execute both commands in a script without one interfering one another?
[22:15] <joachimATjku> arecord -D hw:X,0 -f S16_LE -c2 -r48000  | aplay
[22:15] <joachimATjku> tvtime
[22:16] <\\`oot> ikonia: So what do I do?
[22:16] <ikonia> \\`oot: you have to pass a username argument with the mount command
[22:16] <Alpert> Ikonia: I have a built in wireless card, and ubuntu will not recognize it.  I was told to type this in by documentation: sudo pccardctl ident . Didn't work
[22:16] <Some_Person> Does anyone know why ubuntu installer and GParted can't see my partitions? http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/1192/issueff5.png
[22:16] <\\`oot> so I have to do it off the CLI, and not the Ubuntu GUI?
[22:16] <jimcooncat> \\`oot: Places -> Connect to server
[22:17] <ikonia> Alpert: stop saying "didn't" work and explain why/error of the problem
[22:17] <ikonia> Some_Person: your using raid maybe ?
[22:17] <ikonia> Some_Person: you don't have partitions defined ?
[22:17] <Some_Person> ikonia: What is raid?
[22:17] <ikonia> never mind
[22:17] <Alpert> sorry, it said sudo: pccardct1: command not found
[22:17] <Some_Person> ikonia: I do have partitions. Look at the fdisk output
[22:17] <teq23784> Alpert: pccardctl is the wrong method to identify a built-it wireless card
[22:17] <\\`oot> grrr, that didn't work either
[22:17] <ikonia> Alpert: ok, so that software is not installed
[22:18] <\\`oot> is there a better way to see the output of any errors?
[22:18] <\\`oot> rather than "failed to mount share"???
[22:18] <ikonia> \\`oot: syslog or the samba log
[22:18] <teq23784> Alpert: type lspci and put the output on a pastebin
[22:18] <\\`oot> mm... ok
[22:19] <Some_Person> any ideas anyone?
[22:20] <blistov> Some_Person: I suspect a bug in gparted.
[22:20] <blistov> I never trust gnome software :)
[22:20] <digitalvaldosta> :-? Does anyone know how to setup a printer share? I have one shared on my desktop which is 8.10 and i am trying to reconnect to it from my laptop (8.04.1) that I had connected to it from a week ago. I had connected the laptop to the printer via usb once since I had it shared so i assume thats why its not connected via cups anymore. but how can I reconnect it?
[22:20] <Alpert> teq23784: http://pastebin.com/m689b6932
[22:20] <Some_Person> blistov: And the ubuntu installer?
[22:20] <leequarella> Anyone recommend a music player for linux?
[22:21] <leequarella> for mp3s and such
[22:21] <FarmCretin> leequarella:  mplayer usually works for most media files
[22:21] <teq23784> Alpert: the broadcom 4318 card should be supported by ubuntu, you don't need ndiswrapper.
[22:21] <digitalvaldosta> leequarella, rhythmbox
[22:21] <Alpert> hmm
[22:21] <Alpert> well, since I just did an update, should I restart my computer
[22:21] <randy3434> digitalvaldosta: if you go into the system, administration, printing
[22:21] <blistov> Some_Person: ooh right.  sorry my answer doesn't help in that case :)  I've never had a problem with the installer not being able to see my partitions.  I suspect gparted is having a problem parsing some information in your partition table (ie: all the windows parts)
[22:21] <alexandre> alguém do Brasil?
[22:22] <Alpert> teq23784: well, since I just did an update, should I restart my computer
[22:22] <leequarella> are are they for helping with music library organization?
[22:22] <blistov> Some_Person: I have no recommendation other than to get rid of the windows partions and try again.
[22:22] <blistov> Some_Person: sorry.
[22:22] <digitalvaldosta> randy3434, i tried that. I tried clicking connect to server and refresh and it still does not find it.
[22:22] <ngirard> Hi all, I have a plain vanilla 105-key french keyboard. After migrating from 8.04 to 8.10, the "down" key generates a 116 (Multi_key) event. How can I fix this ?
[22:23] <Some_Person> blistov: I have installed many ubuntu systems over the years, all with Windows partitions, and never had this problem. I doubt Windows is the problem.
[22:23] <djiezes> leequarella: amarok is very versatile in that regard
[22:23] <digitalvaldosta> randy3434, for the server, should i put the ip address?
[22:23] <randy3434> couldn't hurt to rty
[22:23] <kevin_405> teq23784,  Broadcom support is very flaky for wifi
[22:23] <randy3434> try
[22:23] <Alpert> teq23784: well, since I just did an update, should I restart my computer
[22:23] <kevin_405> teq23784,  my wifi sometime does not work (with WAP )
[22:23] <teq23784> kevin_405: that's why i don't any broadcom hardware
[22:24] <teq23784> kevin_405: *don't but
[22:24] <teq23784> kevin_405: *don't buy
[22:24] <kevin_405> teq23784,  i am stuck with it..
[22:24] <kevin_405> teq23784, i bought it 2 years back
[22:24] <randy3434> what sort of problem might i have if VMware's virtual installation of XP can connect to the internet, but nothing running 'natively' in Ubuntu? Can someone help me troubleshoot my internet, get it working again?
[22:24] <blistov> Some_Person: is this the first time you've tried 8.10 to a disk with windubs on a few partitions?
[22:24] <_45h_> hi
[22:25] <Some_Person> blistov: No.
[22:25] <teq23784> Alpert: yeah, restart, whatever
[22:25] <Alpert> ok
[22:25] <Some_Person> But first time on this machine
[22:25] <teq23784> gotta go anyway
[22:25] <Alpert> and it should pick it up automatically?
[22:25] <blistov> I've never dug gparted, as its alway been way to basic.  doesn't handle lvms2 or mdadm properly, if at all.
[22:25] <kevin_405> teq23784,  amazing how these guys dont have standards so that generic drivers would work
[22:25] <_45h_> my ubuntu+xen every time crashes into kernel panic with hard filesystem errors. its bug or easter egg?
[22:25] <blistov> Some_Person: tried running gparted manually, from a terminal, to watch for debugging output?
[22:25] <lorenzo> hello
[22:26] <mathias> Goodevening. I'm having a little problem installing Ubuntu on my Macbook through Parallels. Can anyone help me?
[22:26] <Some_Person> blistov: hang on
[22:26] <Some_Person> blistov: it says "Can't have a partition outside the disk!"
  I can not help in this.
[22:28] <Twois10> anyone have the tmobile G1 phone?
[22:28] <Some_Person> blistov: looks ok in fdisk
[22:28] <blistov> fdisk is more lienient.
[22:28] <blistov> ?
[22:28] <r3al> hello guys
[22:28] <dr_willis> Yes - i would say fdisk is more lenient.
[22:28] <kevin_405> ikonia, i changed home directory to "chmod 777 ." and after that i get a warning in ubuntu about home directory permissions
[22:28] <rsteenwyk> I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my IBM Thinkpad r60 and hooked up a second LCD monitor, a IBM ThinkVision
[22:28] <blistov> Some_Person: I get that error with a lot of partition tables written by windows.
[22:29] <enzotib> Some_Person, have you tried the verify command in fdisk?
[22:29] <kevin_405> ikonia, will 740 fix it
[22:29] <Some_Person> blistov: even nautilus (the gnome file manager) sees the partitions
[22:29] <blistov> Some_Person: IE: on a couple of my media devices that insist on FAT
[22:29] <ikonia> kevin_405: 700 is pretty tight, 750 is also acceptable
[22:29] <blistov> Some_Person: Nautilus sees the file systems. not the partitions.
[22:29] <Twois10> anyone know of app that encryp storage card on tmobile G1 phone?
[22:29] <r3al> can anyone gimme a help with gnu's wlan drivers?
[22:29] <kevin_405> ikonia,  i have changed to 750 will see on next reboot
[22:29] <kevin_405> ikonia,  thx
[22:29] <rsteenwyk> it set the LCD monitor as the primary monitor, and when I unplug the screen it won't show the Applications/Places/System bar on my laptops display
[22:30] <Ward1983> why can i not use chroot form the liveCD?
[22:30] <digitalvaldosta> :)) I found my issue. (I'm an idiot) I didn't have the power to the printer on. lol.
[22:30] <randy3434> haha
[22:30] <Ward1983> if i try to chroot from the liveCD: chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory
[22:31] <Ward1983> digitalvaldosta, at least you found it yourself :p some people need to call to the helpdesk for that :p
[22:31] <Some_Person> blistov: How do I use the "verify function"?
[22:32] <digitalvaldosta> yeah, well being an IT professional and forgetful is not a good combo. I tend to forget the simple things like that when working on my own stuff. lol :D
[22:32] <Slart> is there some kind of command I can run to simulate a mouse click.. ie instead of clicking the mouse.. ?
[22:32] <wiehan> If I use: "cp /media/External/backups /home/wiehan/Videos -pvR" will this copy the contents of the source folder and place it in the target OR wil it place the enitre folder within the target like so: /home/wiehan/Videos/backups... I'm unsure
[22:32] <ikonia> wiehan: cp -pvR
[22:32] <kb3ien> where does one get termcap for ubunto thesedays?
[22:33] <blistov> Some_Person: I don't know.  As far as I know, fdisk does a consistency check automatically.
[22:33] <wiehan> ikonia: I'm sorry but that statement isn't very clear... will it place the source folder including its contents within the target or just the contents of the source folder within the target?
[22:34] <LogicalDash> What's the configuration file that makes kernel modules restart whenever the computer comes back from standby?
[22:34] <afallenhope|work> !dvd
[22:34] <johnpaul> hello
[22:34] <onetinsoldier> wiehan: the 'backups' directory will be copied over to /home/wiehan/Videos
[22:34] <rsteenwyk> I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my IBM Thinkpad r60 and hooked up a second LCD monitor, a IBM ThinkVision. When I hooked the second screen up it set the LCD monitor as the primary monitor, and when I unplug the screen it won't show the Applications/Places/System bar on my laptops display. How can I make it to Ubuntu sets my laptop screen as the default/primary screen?
[22:34] <kb3ien> !termcap
[22:35] <kb3ien> worth a try.
[22:35] <wiehan> onetinsoldier: ok, how can I prevent that from happening, I just want to copy the contents from the source into the target
[22:35] <Las> what is the difference between SDL and GTK?
[22:36] <Las> i'm trying to figure out which I would want to install, and neither makes any sense to me (windows user) :(
[22:36] <rsteenwyk> I am in my xorg.conf file, but have no idea on what to do from there
[22:36] <dr_willis> Different apps use different things LAS..  some use the SDL libs.. some use the GTK libs.. some could use both
[22:36] <onetinsoldier> wiehan: wiehan, then... cp -vp /media/External/backups/* /home/wiehan/Videos
[22:36] <h4cker> gtk is more customizable Las
[22:36] <LogicalDash> Las: they are different sorts of libraries; SDL provides general graphics routines, GTK provides widgets that you can make windowed interfaces from. I think you should install both, they're pretty small.
[22:36] <BobBlec> anyone use pidgin? I tried upgrading from gaim to pidgin, but it requires that I remove gaim, and removing gaim also requires that both ubuntu-desktop and nautilus-send be removed, and I don' t want to remove those two
[22:37] <wiehan> Las: for what purpose.. this maybe a n00b statement, but SDL is more for graphics within Games, and GTK is an opensource cross platform widget toolkit or something
[22:37] <Las> is one better for games would be the simplest thing
[22:37] <LogicalDash> Las: more games use SDL
[22:37] <Las> cool, thanks
[22:37] <dr_willis> las are you picking one for YOU to use for 'programing' ? or what exactly?
[22:37] <Las> I just want to play freeciv
[22:37] <wiehan> onetinsoldier: Thanks mate, Can I still include the 'R' in cp -vpR /med.....
[22:37] <Las> :)
[22:37] <onetinsoldier> wiehan: no.. do NOT use the R
[22:37] <Las> and there are all these different clients and my google-fu failed me
[22:38] <LogicalDash> Las: In that case it's different, you should probably use the Gtk version unless you have a specific need for the SDL version
[22:38] <dr_willis> las   one client uses th SDL libs then.. other sues the gtk libs..
[22:38] <djiezes> Las: gtk is gnome based, sdl more open platform and oriented to games.
[22:38] <Doonz> hey is it possible to do a straight upgrade from 32bit system to 64 bit?
[22:38] <LogicalDash> Las: because Gtk provides better buttons 'n stuff
[22:38] <dr_willis> Doonz,  No.
[22:38] <wiehan> onetinsoldier: Ok, can you explain why? Then I'll remember it better
[22:38] <Doonz> didnt think so
[22:38] <djiezes> Las, i mean crossplatform ;à
[22:38] <Some_Person> blistov: fdisk says "Total allocated sectors 625153099 greater than the maximum 625142448"
[22:38] <rsteenwyk> Anybody know how I go about changing what monitor is set as primary/secondary?
[22:39] <djiezes> Some_Person: then there's something wrong with your partitions. repartitioning might help ;( or some tools to fix it (?)
[22:39] <\\`oot> HELP... does anyone know Samba well?  I'm lost
[22:39] <Las> ok, guess i'll try both then. I was figuring it was more hardware-dependant, silly me :) thanks
[22:39] <Alpert> ikonia: so, my computer picked up the driver I needed, and I installed it and restarted. Now what do I do so I can get wireless internet to work
[22:39] <dr_willis> rsteenwyk,  for Nvidia/twinview - the nvidia-settings tool had a checkbox for that.
[22:39] <Some_Person> djiezes: i am not starting from scratch
[22:39] <Alpert> not only ikonia, anyone, please help if you can :)
[22:39] <Doonz> ok with running 64bit OS would i see improvement with my software raid set up. BTW im going from a 3.2 xeon with ht and 2gb ram. To TWO 3.6 xeons and 8gb ram
[22:40] <dr_willis> Doonz,  to make proper use of that much ram - use 64bit - yes.
[22:40] <\\`oot> Places >> Connect to Server >> Windows Share (when filled out and submitted) doesn't even make an attempt to connect to the other server!!
[22:40] <djiezes> Some_Person: then search for tools to check and fix your master boot record / partition table
[22:40] <jack_> i have the actual .dbx files from outlook express and i need to get the folders and files imported into evolution.  anyone know how i can convert .dbx files into readable format at least?
[22:40] <dr_willis> Doonz,  as for the 'raid' setup. I doubt if that part will  matter/be affected much
[22:40] <rsteenwyk> dr_willis, this isn't a nvidia box unfortunately, just integrated Intel graphics
[22:40] <dr_willis> rsteenwyk,  no idea then. sorry
[22:40] <precision_> hi
[22:40] <Some_Person> djiezes: I already tried one of them, called "TestDisk"
[22:41] <djiezes> Some_Person: maybe even windows checkdisk and related harddrive things
[22:41] <onetinsoldier> wiehan: R is for recursive, it will start copying with the directory itself. if you just want the files in there and not the directory, then you cannot use the R.
[22:41] <precision_> is this a forum to ask (possibly troubleshooting) questions about linux/ubuntu?
[22:41] <Alpert> if anyone can help, that would be greatly appreciated :) so, my computer picked up the driver I needed, and I installed it and restarted. Now what do I do so I can get wireless internet to work
[22:41] <Some_Person> djiezes: chkdsk in windows never does anything
[22:42] <djiezes> Some_Person: you mean you tried it?
[22:42] <dr_willis> Alpert,  there should be a network manager icon in the panels somewhere you use to select the wireless network/or enter the ssid/info
[22:42] <Some_Person> djiezes: Yes, I did
[22:42] <thornomad> need help with fixing a problem (or filing a bug): when i upgraded from dapper to hardy (server) my NIC card got stuck at 100MB/s -- it won't get to full gigabit mode (even though it is supported and was working in dapper) ,,, I've tried using ethtool to force the speed to 1000 but that just drops the connection and i have to reset ... any ideas ? card is a "Intel Corporation 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller" ... not sure what
[22:42] <Alpert> dr_willis: I need help setting that up
[22:42] <jack_> i have the actual .dbx files from outlook express and i need to get the folders and files imported into evolution.  anyone know how i can convert .dbx files into readable format at least?
[22:42] <leequarella> Where can I adjust my system volume?   Currently I need to have my speakers turned al the way up just to be able to hear anything
[22:42] <dr_willis> Alpert,  all  i did to 'set' it up here.. was enter my ssid and password.
[22:43] <Alpert> I dont have a password
[22:43] <Alpert> so I click on the icon, and what option do I choose?
[22:43] <ethernal> who Ethernal
[22:43] <dr_willis> Alpert,  I  am not on gnome and cant walk ya through it.. click or right click on the icon.. it should have some menus and listings of the networks seen, or a way to connect to another network
[22:43] <virgo1143> you are?
[22:43] <djiezes> Some_Person: i know Ultimate  Boot CD has some tools to check & fix mbr and partition tables, you could try that
[22:43] <Alpert> oik
[22:43] <Alpert> thanks
[22:44] <whileimhere> Hi. I have a folder with tons of other folders which may or may not have files in them. Is there a fast way to recursively search each dir for files with the .nes extension and copy them into one flat folder at the same time?
[22:44] <virgo1143> has anyone in here tried super ubuntu?
[22:44] <dr_willis> whileimhere,  creative use of the 'find' command - can do that.. but i dont rember its ussage enouhg to tell you the exact command for it.
[22:45] <whileimhere> dr_willis I have been looking into that but so far I cant get it to work
[22:45] <dr_willis> whileimhere,  i would look for 'find' examples online - theres tons of them out there. I did a similer task ages ago..
[22:46] <Alpert> dr_willis: I filled everything in, but I dont know how to connect to the wireless connection. I'm at manual configuration right now
[22:46] <djiezes> Some_Person: another option might be tools offered by the manufacturerer of the harddrive
[22:46] <dr_willis> Alpert,  im not on gnome so i cant tell you..  it was a 5 sec deal here.. Its possible the drivers are not proplery installed If its not seeing the SSID of your network
[22:46] <dr_willis> !wireless | Alpert
[22:47] <precision_> have you encountered a problem where you couldn't mount the cdrom even though it still autofinds audio cds?
[22:47] <onetinsoldier> whileimhere: i'm not very good with the find command myself, so i don't know that i should be speaking up. but have you tried   find . -name *.nes -print | xrag cp /dest_directory    ?
[22:47] <onetinsoldier> oops
[22:47] <praet> whileimhere: try find thedir/. -name *.nes -exec cp /home/username/target {}
[22:47] <dr_willis> whileimhere,   http://homepage.mac.com/paalb/Examples/find.html   - Last example... is close to what you want
[22:48] <praet> whileimhere: try find thedir/. -name *.nes -exec cp /home/username/target {} \;
[22:48] <praet> oops
[22:48] <praet> lol onetinsoldier
[22:48] <Alpert> dr_willis: I don't know how to get to the interface screen shown in the docs to check hte boc that says Enable this connection
[22:48] <onetinsoldier> whileimhere: sorry, that xarg = xargs   ...but do what praet says! i don't know the find command well at all, so...
[22:48] <dr_willis> Alpert,  no idea.. click, or double click.. or right click...
[22:49] <dr_willis> Alpert,  its also possible the docs are a little out of date and the gui has changed
[22:49] <Alpert> yea : /

[23:00] <ikonia> Alpert: why are you showing us that screenshot
[23:00] <onetinsoldier> man, from what ive seen on here, i would think that some manufacturer could sell a ton of wifi cards that say Linux Driver Support... perhaps even Linux Driver Support ONLY
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[23:00] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: intel provide excellent support, as do others.
[23:00] <Tiberio> idejmcd: df

[23:01] <Alpert> ikonia: I can't view that anymore, and I want to get back to being able to

[23:03] <ActionParsnip> onetinsoldier: no, but its an example of when hardware manufacturers support linux well and it gets uptaken well
[23:03] <Alpert> ikonia: I don't see that anymore
[23:03] <Tiberio> idejmcd: Press ALT-F2, type gnome-terminal, and hit ENTER

[23:10] <FAJALOU> onetinsoldier:  after i ctrl alt delete over that part, the boot goes fine.
[23:11] <onetinsoldier> FAJALOU: you mean it continues to boot into linux?
[23:11] <\\`oot> Why is it that when I extract the contents of a (windows-based) .iso file, Ubuntu puts a " ;1 " at the end of every file name?!
[23:11] <josh> i cant get pidgin to work on ubuntu.  it works for yahoo, but not myspace im.  can anyone help?
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> \\'oot: your nick is really annoying
[23:11] <\\`oot> ActionParsnip: Sorry
[23:11] <Kimimaro> does anyone know how to convert a dvd9 (double layer) to dvd5 (single layer)?
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> \\'oot:if you mount it you can copy the files out
[23:11] <onetinsoldier> FAJALOU: you mean that pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete does not cause the computer to reboot? instead it continues to load linux?
[23:11] <FAJALOU> onetinsoldier:  yes after i press ctrl alt delete it sounds like it just kills that bootup
[23:12] <EADG> Kimimaro: dvd95
[23:12] <virgo1143> Pidgin 2.5.2 :")
[23:12] <FAJALOU> onetinsoldier: yes
[23:12] <\\`oot> I did that... still all the files have the ;1 at the end
[23:12] <onetinsoldier> oh!
[23:12] <djiezes> Kimimaro: k9copy does that
[23:12] <josh> how do i tell? its ubuntu 8.
[23:12] <EADG> Kimimaro: open Synaptip and do a quick search for dvd9... dvd95 will come up as a conversion program. Install it :)
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> \\'oot:do the files on the disk when its mounted have that on them?
[23:13] <enki> does anyone know whether hardy or intrepid is better for an aspire one?
[23:13] <\\`oot> ActionParsnip: Well, it opens fine (the .iso file) under WinXP... and installs and such
[23:13] <onetinsoldier> FAJALOU: if pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete causes it to continue to boot into linux, then how come you don't make it to a command line?
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> \\'oot:maybe it is using a different codepage for characters
[23:13] <\\`oot> but the files all have a ;1 on them when opened with ArchiveManager

[23:14] <etyrnal> anyone know if if Ubuntu 8+ will gon onto a dell dimension 2350 celeron
[23:14] <\\`oot> dangit
[23:15] <etyrnal> go on ^
[23:15] <josh> i am not sure
[23:15] <FAJALOU> onetinsoldier: ya ;)
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> \\'oot:bad iso then, you could extract the files to the xp partition then read them by mounting the partition
[23:15] <tehquickness> I am trying to setup ssh keys so I can use rsync to make a backup to a webserver. The webhost will make public and private keys for ssh. So I would use the private key on my personal computer to connect to the server right?
[23:15] <\\`oot> that would mean yet another reboot... poo
[23:15] <mib_2tidto> hi when I try and run Software Sources program in ubuntu, nothing happens can someone please help me
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> josh: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[23:16] <\\`oot> the .iso is fine (at least it better not be corrupt)... I copied it from a working .iso file on another box
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> \\'oot:its the curse of dual boot
[23:16] <EADG> Kimimaro: djiezes suggested k9copy. Have a look at that proggy.
[23:16] <\\`oot> *sigh*... ok, thx
[23:16] <keres> onetinsoldier: gtkradiant works perfect on 8.04
[23:16] <onetinsoldier> mib_2tidto: what exactly are you trying to do... what is "run Software Sources program" ?
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> \\'oot:then recopy
[23:16] <Kimimaro> k9copy crahed trying to do the same disk
[23:16] <\\`oot> ActionParsnip: well, this is the LAST reason I have Windows on this machine... after MS Money is copied and working in Wine... I'm done with Windows permanently
[23:16] <zetharx> fstab question: my jump drive is set to mount with options "user,rw,async" and when i boot my computer the drive mounts to the designated dir and the permissions are automatically set to root as the owner.  i have to manually change it if i want to write to the drive.  anyone know what i need to change to fix this?
[23:16] <mib_2tidto> onetinsoldier: System - Admin - Software sources
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> \\'oot: gnucash?
[23:17] <Kimimaro> its a good copy it plays perfect on dvd players but it wont copy
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> \\'oot: what version of MS Money?
[23:17] <lilsyko> guys, wanna ask a question.
[23:17] <\\`oot> 2k7
[23:17] <\\`oot> what I have...
[23:17] <onetinsoldier> keres: oh. roger. well, that's good at least. i forget, what happened after you successfully compiled it in 8.10 yesterday?
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> !ask | lilsyko
[23:17] <phreck> can anyone tell me how to elevate my priveledges so that i can copy and paste within /usr ?
[23:17] <\\`oot> don't tell me it won't work
[23:17] <djiezes> Kimimaro: does it play on your pc?
[23:17] <lilsyko> can ubuntu be made to run in a dual-boot enviroment with XP?
[23:17] <josh> hang on
[23:17] <phreck> there  has to be some way to get temp SU in the gui
[23:17] <SimonTek> phreck,  sudo will let you do so,
[23:18] <allsystemsarego> phreck, gksu nautilus
[23:18] <lilsyko> i know it can but i have tried many times but it doesnt work
[23:18] <phreck> roger
[23:18] <phreck> thanks
[23:18] <SimonTek> ahh missed the gui part
[23:18] <phreck> ive been sudo cp'ing all day lol.
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> \\`oot: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=5691&iTestingId=32015
[23:18] <Kimimaro> djiezes, i will install vlc and try, the first time i used ubuntu i ,ade a vow never to use totem
[23:18] <EADG> Kimimaro: I can only suggest K3B... that all I really know for dvd burning, other than mplayer (which you'de have to use from the cli)
[23:18] <phreck> i want gui!
[23:18] <onetinsoldier> mib_2tidto: ahh, i see. i've always gotten to that in the Synaptic Package Manager options
[23:18] <SimonTek> sudo su is useful too
[23:18] <keres> onetinsoldier: it was missing gtk+ dependancies, ones that you can't possibly change, but are in 8.04.
[23:18] <phreck> yea
[23:18] <zetharx> lilsyko: my understanding is that XP likes to be on the primary partition.  i have a dual boot system and have had no problems getting it to work
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> SimonTek: sudo -i is advised
[23:18] <onetinsoldier> keres: oh yeah, now i remember
[23:18] <lilsyko> hmmm
[23:19] <keres> onetinsoldier: the missing gtk+ files made the change views inopprable.
[23:19] <\\`oot> oooh
[23:19] <lilsyko> so XP on primary and ubuntu on secondart
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> phreck: you can gksudo <gui app yu want admin acces with>
[23:19] <onetinsoldier> keres: cool
[23:19] <lilsyko> *secondary
[23:19] <EADG> Anybody know what option to use with "ls -lh" to drop the date & time?
[23:19] <phreck> good to know
[23:19] <lilsyko> let me try that
[23:19] <phreck> never tried it until today
[23:19] <phreck> thanks
[23:19] <onetinsoldier> mib_2tidto: so, what happens that you cannot run the 'Software Sources'?
[23:19] <lilsyko> thanks mates
[23:20] <SimonTek> hmm didn't know the -i, thanks.
[23:20] <SimonTek> read the man pages after you suggested it
[23:21] <onetinsoldier> keres: anyway... you can run it in 8.04 for now so it's all good, correct? you know that probably considered an actual bug in the gtk libs available in 8.10 and you could file a bug report
[23:21] <luc_> salve a tutti
[23:21] <Kimimaro> fyu, trying to back-up "Don't mess with the Zohan"
[23:21] <Kimimaro> fyi*
[23:21] <luc_> potrei rivolgervi una domanda?
[23:22] <\\`oot> ActionParsnip: Must be something with the way this SSH file-copy is working...
[23:22] <Psi-Jack> Okay. Why the heck can't I force my network to use MY settings, instead of using DHCP? grrrr..
[23:22] <\\`oot> Is there a way to do a mass-rename and remove the ;1 from the end of every file?
[23:22] <Psi-Jack> I used the nm-applet in Gnome to manually set the network settings, but it's not making the change. Permanent or temporarily.
[23:22] <Psi-Jack> \\`oot: Yes
[23:23] <SimonTek> ActionParsnip, even my cert bosses didn't know -i. funny
[23:23] <pqangel> hi
[23:23] <\\`oot> Psi-Jack: OK... open to ideas
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> haha
[23:23] <Psi-Jack> \\`oot: You could always use find, to do that.
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> its sudo with interactivity
[23:23] <pqangel> i'm having a big problem with ubuntu, anyone care to help? please? :)
[23:23] <\\`oot> find?
[23:23] <EADG> \\`oot: Install KRename.
[23:23] <onetinsoldier> mib_2tidto: so, what happens that you cannot run the 'Software Sources'?
[23:23] <\\`oot> KRename, OK
[23:23] <Psi-Jack> Yes, find. ;)
[23:23] <\\`oot> one sec
[23:23] <SimonTek> i don't use network-manager. gives too much problems with NIS, or openLDAP
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> SimonTek: i'd just stick to sudo-ing every command so you dont fluff the system
[23:24] <\\`oot> will KRename work in Gnome?
[23:24]  * Kimimaro will try running dvdfab platinum in wine
[23:24] <mib_2tidto> thanks onetinsoldier but it still doesn't work...
[23:24] <atb101010> does anyone have a recommendation for a linux compatible atx mobo? Tried the GA-EX58-UD5 but have not been able to get the Realtek NIC to work with any of the linux drivers including those available on the Realtek site...any similar experiences out there?
[23:24] <EADG> \\`oot: Hmmm, good question.
[23:24] <Psi-Jack> \\`oot: No, Linux software isn't portable. You can only run KDE software in KDE, and Gnome stuff in Gnome....
[23:24] <Psi-Jack> LOL
[23:24] <SimonTek> yes I know. but comes in handy when its repeatitive tasks
[23:24] <Psi-Jack> I'm KIDDING.
[23:24] <\\`oot> haha
[23:24] <Psi-Jack> \\`oot: _of course_ you can!
[23:24] <\\`oot> I'm new to this, so I wouldn't know if you were joking or not
[23:24] <binskipy2u> hey guys.. can you install ubuntu in virtualbox and update to whatever you want, and remaster it to an ISO on a shared drive on the HOST os (kubuntu 64bit), and then burn it?
[23:25] <SimonTek> i use k3b all the time in xfce, and gnome
[23:25] <Psi-Jack> \\`oot: Here's a tip. Linux is Linux is Linux.
[23:25] <\\`oot> OK
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> Kimimaro: you tried acidrip / devede / k3b ?
[23:25] <\\`oot> thx
[23:25] <\\`oot> point taken
[23:25] <binskipy2u> i have 64bit, but i want to "build" the perfect ubunt for a friend that has a 32bit machine
[23:25] <binskipy2u> is this possible?
[23:25] <onetinsoldier> mib_2tidto: i need to know what is happening that it's not working.. is it disappearing on you?
[23:25] <adomas> sorry
[23:25] <josh_> i'm having to share ethernet w/ my dads computer
[23:25] <adomas> yes
[23:25] <berilio> binskipy2u, nope u have to have 32 to do so
[23:25] <josh_> i updated and its still not working
[23:25] <adomas> no you can build 32 using 64 machine
[23:26] <binskipy2u> i could just give my buddy mint 6
[23:26] <onetinsoldier> !doesn't work > mib_2tidto
[23:26] <berilio> adomas, i dont believe thats possible
[23:26] <Psi-Jack> Anyway.
[23:26] <Psi-Jack> Back to my issue. WHY doesn't nm-applet actually work right? ;)
[23:26] <israelito_solito> hello. Im new to Ubuntu and loving it
[23:26] <josh_> so can i just download myspace im again?
[23:26]  * SimonTek at the office with 90% of the workstations running ubuntu
[23:26] <adomas> wubi is created under linux and compiled in linux enviroment, but we have exe executables. so it is very easy to do such thing as compiling debsrc to 32 from 64 env
[23:26] <EADG> binskipy2u: One option is to burn a dvd of Ubuntu Ultimate Edition... my 2 cents.
[23:26] <erUSUL> berilio: it is you just pass -m32 to the compiler
[23:26] <israelito_solito> but the sound in my laptop just died out
[23:26] <binskipy2u> i have that too
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> josh_: make sure you use your email address instead of scrren name for logging in
[23:26] <binskipy2u> i "collect" distros
[23:27] <israelito_solito> help!
[23:27] <Kevin__> Hi Everyone, what system specs (processor, memory) would you need to run Wordpress/MySQL/PHP/Apache?
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> josh_: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-544996.html
[23:27] <israelito_solito> how can I check the sound?
[23:27] <adomas> Kevin__: and what do you have?
[23:27] <Psi-Jack> Kevin__: A 486 SX32 with 128mb RAM
[23:27] <binskipy2u> play a cd?
[23:27] <israelito_solito> no, it doesnt work
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> Kevin__: how many users do you anticipate?
[23:27] <israelito_solito> if faded out
[23:27] <israelito_solito> slowly
[23:28] <atb101010> need an atx mobo recommendation that works with linux, please
[23:28] <SimonTek> whats the laptop?
[23:28] <Psi-Jack> atb101010: Pretty much anything.
[23:28] <israelito_solito> Toshiba
[23:28] <SimonTek> atb101010, almost anything these days
[23:28] <Kevin__> adomas and Psi-Jack and ActionParsnip: I intend few concurrent users. I currently have a Pentium 4 w/ 512 Mb RAM and it is REALLY slow
[23:28] <mib_2tidto> onetinsoldier: this is extremely frustrating. First of all, I download a .deb file(easyubuntu) and I double click it to run the installer or whatever. Nothing happens. No error messages, windows or anything at all pops up. ALSO, when i am typing, my mouse randomly clicks and i am not even touching the mouse, this is horribly annoying because if i am typing, and the mouse clicks, the textbox stops working until i click i
[23:28] <EADG> Anybody know what option to use with "ls" to drop the date & time?
[23:28] <josh_> what does it mean by local alias?
[23:28] <\\`oot> crap.... I wasn't able to install MS Money
[23:28] <\\`oot> boo
[23:28] <israelito_solito> how can I know what video card I have installed?
[23:28] <Kevin__> adomas and Psi-Jack and ActionParsnip: It is taking forever to process PHP files
[23:28] <adomas> Kevin__: it is very good system. you will run without problems
[23:29] <Psi-Jack> Kevin__: Are you using a PHP Accelerator like Zend Optimizer or eAccelerator?
[23:29] <SimonTek> lspci
[23:29] <adomas> what version of preprocessor?
[23:29] <Kevin__> Psi-Jack: No, but it is running so slow to the point of unusability.
[23:29] <israelito_solito> how can I know what video card I have installed?
[23:29] <SimonTek> lspci will tell the video stuff
[23:29] <EADG> israelito_solito: What SimonTek said... lspci
[23:29] <Psi-Jack> Kevin__: Install an optimizer.
[23:29] <israelito_solito> oh, thanks
[23:29] <Psi-Jack> Zend Optimizer, or more preferred, eAccelerator.
[23:29] <keres> is it possible to make an install of ubuntu take up a whole partition after installing it as a dual boot?
[23:29] <mib_2tidto> is ubuntu just buggy onetinsoldier ??
[23:29] <mib_2tidto> and unstable
[23:29] <Kevin__> Psi-Jack: Any recommendations?
[23:29] <FAJALOU> hi. i just installed 8.10 and when i boot up, the boot will always freeze at 'detecting network interface'.  I have to hit ctrl alt delete, and then and only then will my computer continue booting.... any help please?
[23:30] <Psi-Jack> keres: Most every Linux filesystem can growfs, yes.
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> mib_2tidto: use cli to install it: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb
[23:30] <EADG> israelito_solito: might want to add |less to that command; lspci |less
[23:30] <onetinsoldier> mib_2tidto: i cannot help with the mouse click problem. sounds like maybe you should get that problem fixed first so that it doesn't annoy you and you can communicate and take care of business at the command line with no annoying interruptions
[23:30] <keres> Psi-Jack: growfs?
[23:30] <Psi-Jack> keres: Yes. Enlarge the filesystem. growfs.
[23:30] <atb101010> Psi-Jack: well, apparently I have not been the only one experiencing problems with the Realtek NIC that comes with the Gigabyte GA-EX58, so was offered a refund and want to make sure that the next board I pick will have a better chance of working out...
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> mib_2tidto: its a fine OS, if you want intelligent outputs i'd suggest the CLI
[23:30] <Psi-Jack> keres: gparted lets you do this automagically.
[23:30] <mib_2tidto> ActionParsnip: thank you
[23:30] <[T]ank> Is there a log file anywhere that would show me when and if a network connection looses its connection?
[23:30] <keres> Psi-Jack: thanks. just wanted to know if it was possible/easy ;)
[23:30] <Psi-Jack> Kevin__: Look up eAccelerator
[23:31] <mib_2tidto> but i though ubuntu's gui actually worker
[23:31] <adomas> how do I resize root partition when its active? I mean mounted
[23:31] <Kevin__> Psi-Jack: Should I see a large improvement?
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> mib_2tidto: if you have issues, focus on one at a time instead of rattling off a list
[23:31] <mib_2tidto> *worked
[23:31] <SimonTek> i just keep about a dozen or so dlink 530TX+ cards around just in case
[23:31] <Psi-Jack> atb101010: Onboard NIC sucks. Get a real PCI NIC.
[23:31] <Spherous> Okay, I went to dual boot windows and ubuntu, I have ubuntu installed, but the windows install disc can't figure out my drive type, so it can't partition part off.  How do I go about doing that manually as a NTFS drive so I can install windows on it?
[23:31] <[T]ank> I am trying to isolate an issue where a program looses connectivity, but the network should still be working
[23:31] <onetinsoldier> [T]ank: i would think it would show up in /ver/log/messages
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> mib_2tidto: start with the most urgent and work down
[23:31] <onetinsoldier> [T]ank: i would think it would show up in /var/log/messages
[23:31] <[T]ank> I am adding a /ver directory as we speak.
[23:31] <[T]ank> ;-)
[23:31] <Psi-Jack> Kevin__: Initially, no, but once it's caching is started you will.
[23:32] <atb101010> Psi-Jack: which one do you recommend, why is onboard bad?
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> Psi-Jack: some work out of the box, My nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller works out of the box and is onboard
[23:32] <onetinsoldier> [T]ank: lol,i suck at typing sometimes, plus i think i need to clean my keyboard!
[23:32] <[T]ank> what would this possibly mean in messages:
[23:32] <[T]ank> Dec 17 07:56:48 flagship-asterisk -- MARK --
[23:32] <[T]ank> Dec 17 08:09:50 flagship-asterisk syslogd 1.5.0#2ubuntu6: restart.
[23:32] <[T]ank> Dec 17 08:36:48 flagship-asterisk -- MARK --
[23:32] <Scunizi> Spherous: if you just installed ubuntu you might consider starting over and install windows first then ubuntu.. it will go much smoother. Windows likes to be first on a dual boot system.
[23:32] <FloodBot3> [T]ank: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:32] <Psi-Jack> atb: Onboard NIC's share your CPU for processing.  I'm just trying to get an idea if I need to seek professional help with this server setup... So how long would you think it would take to see caching begin?
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> atb101010: if you read the hcl, you will see whats good ;)
[23:32] <adomas> how do I resize root partition when its active? I mean mounted. is it possible? or I should use GParted LiveCD?
[23:32] <chills> hey guys i have a
[23:32] <[T]ank> I have tons of those -- MARK -- lines
[23:32] <[T]ank> and then the restarts
[23:32] <Psi-Jack> Kevin__: One page load.
[23:32] <SimonTek> Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5754 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02) is on this machine
[23:32] <SimonTek> works fine
[23:32] <chills> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M890CE/K8N890CE [Chrome 9] (rev 01)
[23:33] <Kevin__> Psi-Jack: Fair enough. :) I'll give it a shot, thanks a ton.
[23:33] <SimonTek> chills, ouch. what you working on a netbook?
[23:33] <Scunizi> Spherous: if you're not going to be playing games on the windows side, consider installing windows in a Virtual Machine like Virtual Box. It will then run "inside" of Ubuntu
[23:33] <chills> i read an howto that says i should use the openchrome drivers
[23:33] <atb101010> ActionParsnip: hcl??? what's that?
[23:33] <SimonTek> reminds me of the hP netbooks
[23:33] <djiezes> adomas: you can't resize a mounted partition, you need a live cd
[23:33] <Jack_Sparrow> adomas you should not, run livecd instead
[23:33] <Spherous> scunizi, I've had ubuntu installed for a good 3 months, starting over is not an option. I do not want to lose my data, any other way? I mean, I know I can run Virtual Box or VMWare, but I would prefer a dual boot
[23:33] <Psi-Jack> adomas: Yes, Use the LiveCD
[23:33] <chills> SimonTek, nah dualcore
[23:33] <chills> desktop pc
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> Psi-Jack: unless you are running a dog slow pci and get high bandwidth usage, the cpu load is minimal
[23:33] <scbchoreo> can i ask something@ ALL
[23:33] <Spherous> scunizi, I do plan to be playing games~
[23:33] <Psi-Jack> ActionParsnip: Minimal, BUT present, still.
[23:33] <SimonTek> chills, why have that video card?
[23:33] <chills> SimonTek, so it says i need to use the openchorme drivers.. i tried to apt-get em but it says the latest are installed
[23:33] <EADG> adomas: Yes, boot off the Livecd then run GParted.
[23:33] <onetinsoldier> [T]ank: definitely sounds like a problem to me.. i take that the 'flagship-asterisk' is your network card driver. mine is 'sky2'
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> Psi-Jack: oh i agree
[23:33] <chills> SimonTek, came with the pc
[23:33] <Psi-Jack> ActionParsnip: On high-CPU load opperations, it will affect performance.
[23:34] <michal_> My multimedia buttons work sporadically. How should I fix this? The keyboard shortcuts are all set up.
[23:34] <chills> SimonTek, is there any way i can check if iam actually using them ?
[23:34] <K_Dallas> Q: (I hope it is not just too irrelevant of quesiotn in which case I apologize) Would Suprer-Ubuntu be a better start for a total newbie? I mean if I want to install it for a Windows user, would it make life easier for her/him? (bypassing all the extra packages to install for media, etc). Thanks
[23:34] <SimonTek> ahh. i have the newest ones. give me a second
[23:34] <Psi-Jack> ActionParsnip: Example: Games using the internet will drop performance dramatically.
[23:34] <EADG> Anybody know what option to use with "ls" to drop the date & time?
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> Psi-Jack: but in the world of dual core cpus pushing 2Ghz+ a core, we'll live for spending money on a NIC
[23:34] <adomas> djiezes, Jack_Sparrow thank you
[23:34] <adomas> and EADG :)
[23:34] <Scunizi> Spherous: sure.. use gparted to make space ... unpartitioned space for windows.. it will discover it.. after install you'll have to fix grub because you won't be able to boot into ubuntu.. windows overwrites the MBR
[23:34] <chills> my xorg.conf says Section "Device"
[23:34] <chills> 	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
[23:34] <chills> 	Driver		"vesa"
[23:34] <[T]ank> onetinsoldier: flagship-asterisk is the computer name
[23:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Spherous If you dont have a backup and cant afford to lose any data..  there is no room for error
[23:34] <chills> shouldnt that be openchrome ?
[23:34] <michal_> My multimedia buttons work sporadically. How should I fix this? The keyboard shortcuts are all set up.
[23:34] <onetinsoldier> [T]ank: oh.. i see
[23:34] <Psi-Jack> ActionParsnip: $20 a NIC, not much, really. ;)
[23:34] <quentusrex> How do I mute the sound for only one application? I want to mute Firefox...
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> Psi-Jack: servers can get ethernet TOEs to take the burden (especially Citrix / SQL) as te traffic is humungoes
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> Psi-Jack: yeah for about 10Mhz cpu speed?
[23:35] <onetinsoldier> [T]ank: does this problem only surface when playing that game?
[23:35] <K_Dallas> quentusrex, i am not sure but have you looked into about:config
[23:35] <Spherous> Scunizi: Okay, using gparted to make space wont be hard. What do you mean I'll have to fix grub?
[23:35] <SimonTek> http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=420&OSID=25&CatID=2580&SubCatID=164
[23:35] <atb101010> ActionParsnip: what's hcl?
[23:35] <onetinsoldier> !hcl
[23:35] <Psi-Jack> ActionParsnip: It's even worse when the onboard nic's use software DSP. Like the newer Realteks use.
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> Psi-Jack: makes a 2Ghz CPU cost $4000
[23:36] <atb101010> onetinsoldier: thanks
[23:36] <michal_> My multimedia buttons work sporadically. How should I fix this? The keyboard shortcuts are all set up.

[23:36] <SimonTek> i had to fix my bosses mini-note 2133 that had via video and ubuntu. drove me up a wall
[23:36] <Scunizi> Spherous: since windows will overwrite the Master Boot Record the grub menu won't show up to boot into ubutnu. You'll have to use the Live CD to fix grub and rewrite the MBR.
[23:36] <\\`oot> I have a Canon i960 printer (USB)... how do I know if it's supported?
[23:36] <atb101010> ActionParsnip: thanks as well

[23:36] <quentusrex> There was suppose to be a way to control the sound by application
[23:36] <michal_> quentusrex: there is.
[23:37] <quentusrex> michal_: how?
[23:37] <onetinsoldier> [T]ank: hello? does this problem only surface when playing that game?

[23:37]  * SimonTek leaves to fix one of our workstations
[23:37] <michal_> quentusrex: first one's for mute/unmute.
[23:37] <michal_> Second's for louder. Third's for softer.

[23:38] <ActionParsnip> \\`oot: just don't sudo gedit, its gksudo gedit
[23:38] <michal_> But the problem is that my buttons don't work.
[23:38] <Psi-Jack> Okay, screw this.. What does Ubuntu's sysv-init use to activate the network devices? I need to do manual surgery.
[23:38] <michal_> But sometimes they do.
[23:38] <michal_> I don't know how to fix it.
[23:38] <uselessalways> Why gksudo instead of sudo?
[23:38] <quentusrex> michal_: I'm trying to only mute firefox.
[23:38] <Psi-Jack> nm-applet fails to work, and I want static non-DHCP-assigned IP.
[23:38] <michal_> quentusrex: ahh, thought you were answering my question.
[23:38] <michal_> Don't know.
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> Psi-Jack: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[23:39] <bazz> since upgrading to intrepid, my thinkpad t61p hangs every so often with just the numlock led flashing.  i'm pretty sure it's something to do with the wireless since it never seems to happen if i'm on a wired network.  so two questions: 1) is this a known problem and is there a workaround and 2) is there anything i can do to try and track down what's really causing this and help fix it?
[23:39] <eseven73> !gksudo

[23:40] <scbchoreo> ah ok
[23:40] <[T]ank> Spherous: who are you
[23:40] <keres> scbchoreo: you might want to change the dropdown-arrow in the add/remove programs dialog to 'all programs'

[23:40] <ActionParsnip> Psi-Jack: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[23:40] <keres> scbchoreo: no problem!
[23:40] <keres> ;)
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> Psi-Jack: you can specify network settings there
[23:40] <Psi-Jack> ActionParsnip: Okay, what's /etc/NetworkManager for?
[23:40] <keres> ActionParsnip: what is gksudo?
[23:41] <\\`oot> ActionParsnip: That site you gave me, it's not even in English!
[23:41] <funkyHat> quentusrex: you can control the sound by application using pavucontrol, but it doesn't qutie work 'per application' a the moment, i.e. everything by flash has one stream as far as I know
[23:41] <michal_> My multimedia buttons work sporadically. How should I fix this? The keyboard shortcuts are all set up.
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> keres: its used for graphical apps like gedit, it sets up the environment properly, sudo doesnt do that
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> \\`oot: dont be so ignorant, the command for the terminal are in english
[23:42] <Spherous> Scunizi: Odd, gparted won't let me resize and add unpartitioned space
[23:42] <keres> ActionParsnip: so for something that uses 3d themes, or just graphical interfaces in general?
[23:42] <keres> ActionParsnip: debugging a 3d game, etc...?
[23:42] <\\`oot> ActionParsnip: Not ignorance... just hard to figure out what they're doing...
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> keres: just outside of the terminal
[23:42] <Scunizi> Spherous: what file system are you using?
[23:42] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip Take the tone down a notch please
[23:42] <Spherous> Scunizi: I can turn my Swap off, then mess with that, but I don't feel safe messing with swap lol
[23:43] <ActionParsnip> Jack_Sparrow: np man
[23:43] <Jack_Sparrow> ty
[23:43] <linuxman410> does anyone know why a kvm switch will not work with ubuntu
[23:43] <Spherous> Scunizi: What do you mean what filesystem am I using?
[23:43] <ActionParsnip> keres: like apt-get doesnt launch anything outside the terminal, gedit will launch the gui app, gedit so gksudo is needed
[23:43] <Scunizi> Spherous: swap probably isn't large enough for windows anyway.. another solution is to drop another drive into the machine
[23:43] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxman410 mine does.. belkin 4 port
[23:43] <templaedhel> so I have a laptop, but when I close the lid it doesn't work. however "xset dpms force off" ran in the terminal works fine. so I'm trying to figure out how to modify lid.sh to work with that. any ideas
[23:43] <keres> ActionParsnip: gotcha
[23:43] <Scunizi> Spherous: the type of file system ext3, reiserFS or whatever might not like to be resized.
[23:44] <Spherous> Scunizi: I have spare drives, but shitty IDE ones that wont suffice with my SATA pc lol
[23:44] <Jack_Sparrow> linuxman410 FYI it is usb key and mouse enabled..
[23:44] <Scunizi> Spherous: they will work though..
[23:44] <EADG> quentusrex: Awsome question... don't know a quick/easy solution though. I searched Google... there is a plugin called Flashblock that may help you out abit. Other than that I have no idea.
[23:44] <linuxman410> i have a zonet 2 port and when i use it both computers go to 640x480 and i can not change
[23:44] <Spherous> Scunizi: So, why won't it let me create new unpartitioned space?
[23:44] <Spherous> Scunizi: nah, no IDE cables lol
[23:44] <quentusrex> EADG: I'm playing a flash game that doesn't have a built in mute button...
[23:44] <keres> ActionParsnip: can you tell me what -avz does in a syntax?
[23:45] <keres> you don't have to go real in depth
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> keres: depends on the command?
[23:45] <linuxman410> mine is a ps2 switch
[23:45] <Scunizi> Spherous: I have no idea.. maybe someone else will answer that one.. wish you were close, I've got bunches of cables.  check with your local geek. They probably have one for you for nothing.

[23:46] <Spherous> [T]ank: No, Illinois, but I don't even have an IDE cable slot on my motherboard, lol it would be pointless to get one.  Not that I don't have them in my house, my other 3 pcs have only IDE and no sata...
[23:46] <linuxman410> i must have bad switch then

[23:48] <fakereality> Hi, guys. I have a problem with firefox and flash (I install the nonfree adobe flash player). But the flash stuff in firefox doesn't seem to show even after the install.
[23:48] <Spherous> Okay, new question.  Who here can help me with gparted? it doesn't want to create unpartitioned space.  I can turn off my swap, but I can't unmount my filesystem drive, which is understandable, I'm booted onto it...
[23:48] <EADG> when in doubt use apropos {search term} for a command/program
[23:48] <satsu> I am guessing either the MBR or partition tables were messed up.  Any ideas?
[23:48] <scbchoreo> hey... what is the best LINUX for old PC ...( pentium 2 >>> 533MHz)
[23:48] <[T]ank> Spherous: use the live cd
[23:49] <dtcrshr> how i manage to my internet connection stay alive? i have to constantly go pon dsl-provider through terminal to have access...
[23:49] <Wickk> scbchoreo: Puppy linux imo
[23:49] <onetinsoldier> [T]ank: i don't know that i see anything in there baout you network, but yes.. tell tham the problem and the messages you are getting(tons of them), and what's with your syslog restarting?
[23:49] <Jack_Sparrow> scbchoreo there is a minimal install or xubuntu, for info on other releases, please google it and avoid taking polls in the channel
[23:49] <Spherous> [T]ank: Will that create unpartitioned space that windows install cd can recognize?
[23:49] <l337ingDisorder> is it possible to mount a drive using command line without editing fstab?
[23:49] <EADG> scbchoreo: Puppy & DSL (Dam Small Linux)
[23:49] <scbchoreo> but puppy linux is a live cd right
[23:49] <l337ingDisorder> correction, to mount a network share
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> scbchoreo: xubuntu, puppy, dmansmalllinux
[23:49] <nachohi88> hi, i got a question... How can i update my grub so the old kernel doesn´t shows there?

[23:50] <l337ingDisorder> Jack_Sparrow: how? :)
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> scbchoreo: its a super lightweight version of ubuntu
[23:50] <EADG> nachohi88: edit your grub.lst. # out the entry for the old kernal.
[23:50] <scbchoreo> so whats is best thing i can do
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> scbchoreo: using xfce instead of gnome
[23:50] <onetinsoldier> [T]ank: ok. course, i only saw three lines from your /var/log/messages, so for all i know you do have messages in there concerning you networking
[23:50] <scbchoreo> ah tnx @ ACTION
[23:50] <djiezes> nachohi88: there's an option in your menu.lst file in /boot/grub/ called "default", change that to 1 and you'll only see one kernel option ever, even after kernel updates
[23:51] <l337ingDisorder> fakereality: You won't be able to get it working tonight.
[23:51] <FFighter> hey guys
[23:51] <Saga_> Right now -- I currently have Ubuntu 8.10 full-disk encrypted LVM on the laptop. However, I'm trying to resize the HDD as to create free spaces for a new LVM + Cryptsetup + LUKS encrypted partition that I'd be able to access.  Should I be installing Ubuntu on regular LVM then from there, to resize the LV to...20G then create the new VG + LV for encrypted partition? Lot of partitions surely got me confused.  Please advise.  Thanks.
[23:51] <Jack_Sparrow> l337ingDisorder Here is example of one.. sudo mkdir /media/BLAH-drive then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/BLAH-drive substitute your drive for sda1
[23:51] <AutoMatriX> is there a utility that can send the header of an e-mail to a mobile phone via SMS ?
[23:51] <FFighter> I desperately need a software that allows me to take pics with my webcam,
[23:51] <mrfelton> I've just installed firestarter because I'm convinced that sombody is using my network somehow. Today my internet connection speed has dropped from its normal of about 7000kb/s right down to about 175kb/s
[23:51] <FFighter> any ideas?
[23:51] <AutoMatriX> FFighter, try motion
[23:51] <l337ingDisorder> fakereality: the flashplugin-nonfree package points to a broken link on the adobe site
[23:51] <djiezes> nachohi88: oops, belay that, option is called "howmany"
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> mrfelton: check your router to see its dhcp clients
[23:52] <l337ingDisorder> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah sorry, I actually meant mount a network share not a disk
[23:52] <Scunizi> FFighter: cheese
[23:52] <EADG> Anybody know what option to use with "ls" to drop the date & time?
[23:52] <FFighter> AutoMatriX, Scunizi thanks
[23:52] <mrfelton> ActionParsnip, yes, I have a MAC address filter on my router, and have removed everything except my own laptop for now
[23:52] <djiezes> EADG: i'm not sure, check man pages
[23:53] <mrfelton> so I installed firestarter, and told it to block everything I don't need... I'm getting a lot of connections to random ports originating from my own machine
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> mrfelton: do you use wpa / wep?
[23:53] <fakereality> l337ingDisorder: where can I find an older (working) version? thanks for the quick response
[23:53] <AutoMatriX> FFighter, good luck ;) it's a powerfull program, too powerfull forme, for the moment :D
[23:53] <mrfelton> I have no idea what they are... how acn I find out?
[23:53] <loca|host> hello all
[23:53] <mrfelton> ActionParsnip, no.. just a MAC filter
[23:53] <satsu> fsck running from the live cd yields the following error ... "attempting to read block resulted in a short read while trying to open /dev/sda1"  Any ideas how can I repair the drive so that I can mount it or boot from it again?
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> mrfelton: when you connect wirelessly do yuo need a password of any kind?
[23:53] <loca|host> i have a 4GB RAM Xeon Desktop PC
[23:53] <mrfelton> ActionParsnip, no. no password
[23:53] <fakereality> loca|host: welcome
[23:53] <EADG> djiezes: Did. nothing specific other than (Ignore) -I PATTERN & --hide=PATTERN... makes no scense to me.
[23:53] <mrfelton> ActionParsnip, but I thought the MAC filter would mean I don't need to bother with passwords
[23:54] <Scunizi> !ask | loca|host
[23:54] <loca|host> normal ubuntu 8.10 instal shows only 3gigs, is the anything to do to get all my 4gigs up ? just like the bigmem kernel in Debian ?
[23:54] <loca|host> Scunizi, :) i was just typing my question dude
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> mrfelton: mac can be spoofed, id have it as well as wep / wpa
[23:54] <l337ingDisorder> fakereality: I'm not sure.. I'd definitely like to know though!
[23:54] <djiezes> EADG: there's tons of options, i don't get it just enter "man ls"
[23:54] <Scunizi> loca|host: you running 64 bit or 32 bit OS?  32 bit will only show 3+ gigs no more.. that's the limitation of 32bit
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> mrfelton: you could also hide you ssid too for extra security
[23:55] <Scunizi> loca|host: same with windows.
[23:55] <mrfelton> ActionParsnip, ok, I'll do that... but it still doesn't explain all these connections originating from my machine
[23:55] <keres> !fstab
[23:55] <mrfelton> ActionParsnip, hide my ssid... good idea
[23:55] <tanath> argh. i can't log into X
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> mrfelton: try rebooting your router, maybe you hit your download cap
[23:55] <loca|host> Scunizi, Xeon CPUs are 64b ready plateforms, i get my 4gigs using Debian's bigmem kernel, so what's the equivalent on Ubuntu
[23:56] <EADG> djiezes: Hehe, ya, read throught the man pages a number of times... no concrete option for dropping date/time stamp though. I'm stumped.
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> tanath: what happens when you startx
[23:56] <mrfelton> ActionParsnip, I don't have a cap. And I have restarted the router several times
[23:56] <tanath> when the login screen comes up, i immediately get an 'authentication failed' error, and can't access the text box.
[23:56] <mrfelton> it certainly does feel like a cap has been imposed
[23:56] <Scunizi> loca|host: I don't know.. I'll leave that for someone else..
[23:56] <mrfelton> I just can't get more than 10k... consistantly
[23:56] <tanath> ActionParsnip: er, it doesn't
[23:56] <tanath> ActionParsnip: not sure why.
[23:56] <mrfelton> but I have an unlimited broadband service
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> tanath: no, what messages do you get
[23:56] <tanath> ActionParsnip: it appears to, but vt7 is still blank
[23:56] <tanath> ActionParsnip: got no error
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> tanath: check system logs to see whats what
[23:57] <Zarcom> hello
[23:57] <scbchoreo> hello i have another problem.. i install ZENWALK to my OLD PC and its run  good but the problem is my machine tells " NO SOUND CARD DEVICE" .... so what should i do?
[23:57] <Scunizi> mrfelton: your isp might be limiting bandwidth if you're running P2P software.. they don't like to admit they do but it happens.
[23:57] <onetinsoldier> hi Zarcom
[23:57] <Zarcom> I love this OS, this is great :D

[23:57] <mrfelton> Scunizi, well I've been downloading a shit load from UseNext
[23:58] <Zarcom> I have 8.10.02 something, it should not matter
[23:58] <mrfelton> but that isn't really p2p I don't think
[23:58] <tanath> ActionParsnip: is 'no profile for user [me] found' in .xsession-errors significant?

[23:59] <tanath> ActionParsnip: another thing is, it's supposed to autologin after a few seconds. it doesn't
[23:59] <djiezes> EADG: well, in that case you prob know more than me, can't help you
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> tanath: can you make a new user and log on as that user instead?
[23:59] <Scunizi> DatDude: yes.. GPL which version I don't know.. I think vs. 2 but you can look for it here. http://www.ubuntu.com/
[23:59] <tanath> ActionParsnip: the 'authentication failed' error comes up immediately though
