[12:04] <dani> Hi
[12:04] <afief> Jin, f-spot?
[12:04] <vlt> Any idea how to tell ubuntu to switch to runlevel 2 after booting?
[12:04] <dani> :P
[12:04] <dani> the gimp?
[12:04] <kkathman> vit place a 2 on the boot line right?
[12:05] <n2diy> vlt: sudo init 2
[12:05] <steven3423> vlt: /etc/inittab
[12:05] <n2diy> I lost my dialup connection, and when I went to re-connect, kppp told me the modem was busy.  I reset the modem, still busy, switched modems, still busy, disconnected the modem, and still busy. Reset the port with minicom, same thing. Did init 1 then init 5, logged out of root, and back in as me, and that fixed it. Ideas?
[12:06] <magnetron> n2diy: reboot?
[12:06] <dreamtime`> hi
[12:06] <n2diy> magnetron: why reboot, when init fixed it?
[12:07] <dreamtime`> hello there
[12:07] <riyo> Can someone please help me? I try to install this, http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/GAIA?content=63246, and it the start menu looking thing, it doesnt even show. My default ubuntu is still there. And it looks nothing like it, all it does it make it look like this --> http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/5570/screenshotnn1.png
[12:07] <dreamtime`> hmmm i need some advices
[12:07] <vlt> steven3423: I thougt I don't need inittab anymore when using upstart?
[12:08] <dreamtime`> which one is better ? vmware, virtualpc or parallels ?
[12:08] <vlt> n2diy: `sudo init 2` results in runlevel "unknown"
[12:08] <magnetron> n2diy: i thought you asked for a solution to the problem
[12:09] <fr500> can i create an LVM volume with 2 250gb HDs, install everything and later add another pair of HDs?
[12:09] <zipper_> Trying to add a google repository, and to get rid of the GPG errors i do this: "wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -". However, there must be a syntax error or something, since that produces an error. Any hints?
[12:09] <n2diy> magnetron: I did, and I also stated init 1 and then init 5 cured it. Rebooting would have reset my uptime.
[12:10] <speaker219> 'elloeth
[12:10] <zipper_> ah
[12:10] <magnetron> ofc, n2diy
[12:10] <zipper_> nevermind
[12:10] <philthy> vim or emacs for java?
[12:10] <dreamtime`> which one is better ? vmware, virtualpc or parallels ?  i really don't know ... actully i use vmware to run windows in a face of the cube (compiz)
[12:11] <dreamtime`> i mean virtualbox
[12:11] <dreamtime`> :x
[12:11] <imbecile_> what plugin do i use for totem to play vcd?? PLLEASEE and thank you
[12:11] <dreamtime`> virtualpc is from MS
[12:11] <thedash> hey, I have a few drives in an array atm, but they still show up under "Places" on the left-hand side of the screen when using nautilus, requesting to be mounted or something, how can I remove them from that list ?
[12:11] <dreamtime`> thedash, whats the fs ? _linux_raid_member_ ?
[12:12] <zyth> anyone have any idea why the 'contacts' conduit for evolution/palmpilot sync was there on the livecd but is missing on my install?
[12:12] <thedash> dreamtime` :: they're formatted with ext3, but does that matter ?

[12:12] <exodus> Hi guys, how do I get started setting up Win XP to run In Feisty Fawn?
[12:13] <Jin> exodus, u need vmware
[12:13] <imbecile> exodus:  get vmware player and make a virtual machine
[12:13] <reverseblade> exhuma, use virtualbox it is better and easier
[12:13] <reverseblade> exodus,  use virtualbox it is better and easier
[12:13] <dreamtime`> what the best ? parallels, virtualbox or VmWare ? :o
[12:14] <exodus> I have to compile Virtualbox?
[12:14] <dreamtime`> thedash, so its ok
[12:14] <reverseblade> VmWare is more technical, Virtualbox is more friendly
[12:14] <reverseblade> exodus, you don't. There is a ubuntu package at its web site
[12:14] <windowsRules> can i ask what Virtualbox is?
[12:14] <reverseblade> with that nick ? no !!!
[12:14] <h4L1m> sorry
[12:14] <reverseblade> ok now you can ask
[12:15] <reverseblade> hehe
[12:15] <h4L1m> im not a win user
[12:15] <fuffal0> which repository do i need for libapache2-mod-security
[12:15] <l05ty> hi..
[12:15] <KanRiNiN> Quick question.  In Nautilus, I go to network, and browse to my workgroup to view my samba of my server and it says "Folder Contents Can't be Dispalyed'  What's up?  I have samba installed.
[12:15] <imbecile> exodus:  make yr vm at www.easyvmx.com  its really easy
[12:15] <reverseblade> it's just a virtual machine , that allows you to run guest operating systems on your OS without disturbing it. Like virtual machine
[12:15] <l05ty> i need some help please installing
[12:15] <Joris_> I have a rather odd feisty problem. Machine with a core2quad cpu with a 2.6.20-16-generic kernel works very fast, altough with only 3.2 out of 8GB of ram. Installing the 2.6.20-16-server kernel halves disk IO speed (measurably) and subjectively decimates CPU performance... I'm at a complete loss
[12:15] <B52doc> I have a problem with my wireless network card, i installed new firmware and it worked but once I restarted it wont let me connect to any networks
[12:15] <h4L1m> reverseblade: is it for linux?
[12:15] <dreamtime`> well, actually if u try to red from a single disk which is part from a raid, u canno't mount it cuz its FS is linux_raid_member_ BUT u can force to mount with ext3 FS, but i don't recommend it cuz u can destroy ur data :x .. see... its easy
[12:16] <thedash> dreamtime` :: http://img518.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotpt4.png
[12:16] <reverseblade> h4L1m, it works on linux very well.
[12:16] <imbecile> now can someone tell me what pluging i need for totem for vcd playback? PLEEEAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSEEEEEEE
[12:16] <h4L1m> ok thx

[05:23] (theblue/#ubuntu) nj786: ok, hit FWD.
[05:23] (asnf/#ubuntu) sorry how to write .iso files to SD card
[05:23] (etyrnal/#ubuntu) can anyone help with a minor nfs quandry that has to do with a permissions issue?
[05:23] (vocx/#ubuntu) CheeseGardener, EXACTLY.
[05:23] (nj786/#ubuntu) theblue: ok
[05:24] (Revel/#ubuntu) asnf: mount it and cp it?
[05:24] <gravemind> efram: nice! I'm glad it worked. No idea why it's assigning a different MAC each time though, seems like a pretty stupid thing to do
[05:24] <asnf> Revel burn to Sd card
[05:24] <vocx> CheeseGardener, from within Ubuntu you can also run the "grub shell" or "grub-install" to reinstall GRUB.
[05:24] <CheeseGardener> vocx, thanks, how do I run update-grub?  is it a command?  like Alt+F2?
[05:24] <theblue> nj786: what do you see now?
[05:24] <gravemind> dystopianray: still here?
[05:24] <kazzmir> theblue: ok that workwd. ill install ubuntu on it now
[05:24] <theblue> kazzmir: ok, best of luck.
[05:24] <kazzmir> thanks for the help
[05:25] <gravemind> dystopianray: I can ping both ways but the game still doesn't work. what was the next thing to try? nmap?
[05:25] <nj786> theblue: printer driver
[05:25] <weslleyalvessiqu> hello
[05:25] <theblue> nj786: wait, is this a USB printer?
[05:25] <vocx> CheeseGardener, if you are currently running Ubuntu type "man update-grub" to read the manual page. It is a command line utility, precisely.
[05:25] <theblue> nj786: or a parallel port printer?
[05:25] <dystopianray> gravemind: yeah try nmap
[05:25] <boardstar> ok, so i have a soundblaster audigy 2 EX soundcard with an infrared remote control .. it appears that linux has detected the device and 5"bay attachment properly .. however i cannot get my remote to function .. is there any way to see if ubuntu is getting the raw commands from the remote?
[05:29] (pawan/#ubuntu) i have an exiting windows xp installation can it be accessed using vmware server
[05:29] (asnf/#ubuntu) Revel are you there
[05:30] (dystopianray/#ubuntu) pawan: should be able to, but as to whether XP could survive it, well that is another matter
[05:30] (belem/#ubuntu) bonsoir
[05:30] (vocx/#ubuntu) pawan, NO. There are other virtualization software both free and commercial to do that.
[05:30] (nj786/#ubuntu) theblue: ok done
[05:30] <Revel> asnf: make the file, mount the cd card using the mount command, and move it.
[05:30] <belem> il y a des franais ici ?
[05:31] <osxdude|palmTX> will rescue mode delete anything or uninstall?

[05:31] <pawan> according to this article it is possible
[05:32] <pawan> http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=65607
[05:32] <vocx> osxdude|palmTX, it boots in command line which may allow you to solve problems like hardware, screen detection.
[05:32] <theblue> belem: pourquoi?
[05:32] <Revel> asnf: to start from SD card you would have to have bios support.  and make it bootable
[05:32] <belem> what i do now !
[05:32] <Photocopy> This has totally missed me
[05:32] <Revel> asnf: you want to extract a iso to a sd card and make it bootable right?

[05:47] <Revel> belem: belem<EMAIL_ADDRESS>change that. change the username, proxy, whatever.  you pissed someone off i guess
[05:47] <theblue> wtf?
[05:48] <theblue> IdleOne: i believe belem tested a flood script or something similar.
[05:48] <belem> ok revel but after it is not okay
[05:48] <vbabiy> hey is how to move group order on pidgin 2.1.0
[05:48] <IdleOne> Revel: ban evading could get him klined. Ubuntu Ops have friends in high places
[05:48] <gravemind> change to a virtual terminal by pressing ctrl-alt-F1 and run this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and choose "advanced" when you have the opportunity - then put in your new values. You can get back to the gui at any time by pressing ctr-alt-F7
[05:49] <tritium> Revel: bad advice
[05:49] <gravemind> efram: see above
[05:49] <belem> yes do a flood theblue
[05:49] <theblue> belem: why did you do a flood?
[05:49] <belem> okay
[05:49] <IdleOne> !offtopic | belem
[05:49] <ubotu> belem: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:49] <gravemind> efram: you can choose the defaults for most of the questions it will ask
[05:49] <IdleOne> lets get back to support
[05:49] <corentin> Hi all
[05:50] <IdleOne> !hi | corentin
[05:50] <ubotu> corentin: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[05:50] <Revel> IdleOne: i've been auto banned in channels for stuff before.  if its a mistake meh... anyways off topic
[05:50] <theblue> and with that, i'm off.
[05:51] <Revel> im diggin this session terminal stuff.  anything else kewl about ubuntu im probably missing?
[05:51] <slavik`lap> support is for wusses, real man hand assemble and let the rest of the world run the code :P
[05:51] <belem> okay !!!
[05:51] <belem> are you ready!!!
[05:52] <belem> Some call me the cleaner, but I would choose the grave-digger, because I like to stir up the shit,
[05:52] <belem> I stuck my frolos before returning in this biz - go, then not need for potos,
[05:52] <belem> I you emmerde, I you emmerde, and I you emmerde,
[05:52] <belem> And to start, to scratch those which is saying make dance,
[05:52] <belem> Head with bell, or X without us could not becter, would slip you their language into in your slit,
[05:52] <belem> to make of the mix slap made in France, when you come guincher, your guiboles brings back rinsed,
[05:52] <belem> Eh, have you more nothing French, then Mister called to the one again changes skeud,
[05:52] <belem> And you do not come know the underground, are to you rather fashion, then action, I you emmerde and I you emmerde,
[05:52] <Revel> trolls should stick to usernet.
[05:52] <^tiNee^> anyone know how to make bitchx beep when someone says your nick?
[05:52] <Revel> >.<
[05:53] <slavik`lap> Revel: keep in mind that each interface has it's uses, CLI is awesome for linking tools together, GUI is awesome for looking at pictures and graphs ... and not allow you to link programs easily
[05:53] <SerZh>
[05:53] <Revel> slavik`lap: I never seen a terminal work like this besides the BSD ones, and I never had that inside GUI that i recall
[05:53] <Revel> slavik`lap: its like a new toy xD
[05:54] <slavik`lap> Revel: how long you been running ubuntu? (and bsd has xterm and gnome-terminal and konsole, too)
[05:54] <Revel> about 4 hours.
[05:54] <Revel> maybe 5.
[05:54] <slavik`lap> Revel: learn about these: lsmod, lsusb, lspci :)
[05:54] <Revel> i've mostly been free/openbsd until now.
[05:54] <Revel> this is nice though.
[05:55] <efram> gravemind: dude.. thats way to much info I dont have.. lol..
[05:55] <slavik`lap> Revel: try this "exec true" :P
[05:55] <ltadee> HI
[05:55] <efram> gravemind: isnt it somehow easyer to make the other resolutions appear in the res selection menu?
[05:55] <slavik`lap> Revel: free/open bsd has gnome and KDE and has proper terminals for each
[05:55] <efram> gravemind: or is this the only way?
[05:55] <gravemind> efram: this is the only way. just press enter for most things until you get to monitor and you'll be fine
[05:55] <Revel> slavik`lap: but i could never drop to terminal with xfree/xorg running (that i knew how)
[05:55] <efram> gravemind: ok
[05:56] <Revel> besides using a gui terminal
[05:56] <RudyValencia> Hi, I'm using Ubuntu Feisty Server and having difficulty getting BIND 9 to start
[05:56] <slavik`lap> Revel: ctrl+alt+F1-F6
[05:56] <RudyValencia> I have my configuration files all setup but it's [fail] ing
[05:56] <Revel> slavik`lap: if they have that in bsd i missed the boat for a decade lol
[05:56] <TheViLliN> whats a good linux utility for backing up important system files???
[05:56] <slavik`lap> freebsd has the same thing
[05:57] <d4rkmonkey> any GUI for SCP in the repos?
[05:57] <slavik`lap> Revel: thing is if you run X in the first tty (F1), that's where X is... not on the 7th terminal like linux
[05:57] <slavik`lap> another thing that I haven't figured out is how to get a mouse in a virtual terminal (like freebsd does)
[05:57] <Revel> slavik`lap: i always used the print screen button on bsd.  gui was only a home thing really.  guess i didnt read well
[05:57] <slavik`lap> !scp
[05:57] <ubotu> SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/
[05:58] <RudyValencia> slavik`lap: the mouse thing is gpm
[05:58] <efram> gravemind: ok I did it.. now what? :P
[05:58] <RudyValencia> sudo apt-get install gpm
[05:58] <slavik`lap> ty
[05:58] <RudyValencia> np
[05:58] <Revel> brb
[05:58] <d4rkmonkey> nvm
[05:59] <slavik`lap> TheViLliN: search synaptic, I know there was a utility to backstuffup and such, but if you need to backup your home directory, lmk, I can show you a single command that does it
[05:59] <gravemind> efram: you did 'advanced' and put in the new sync ranges?
[05:59] <efram> gravemind:  yupp
[05:59] <gravemind> efram: awesome! now save anything you're doing and press ctrl-alt-backspace. this restarts your display, and should hopefully fix your resolution
[05:59] <MilitantPotato> I'm trying to get several partitions to auto-mount, can someone review my fstab and see if I did this correctly? I added everything from /dev/hda7 on down.  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33778/
[05:59] <efram> gravemind:  ok trying now =D
[06:00] <IdleOne> !info gnome-reset
[06:00] <ubotu> gnome-reset: backup and reset tool for GNOME. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.2+cvs2006.02.03-0ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 13 kB, installed size 200 kB
[06:00] <IdleOne> TheViLliN: ^^^^^^
[06:00] <TheViLliN> cool  thx,  i actually kinda looking for a utility so i can see mainly what files it backs up plus for when i start editing files etc etc :P
[06:00] <slavik`lap> MilitantPotato: you have a drive with 7partitions?
[06:00] <MilitantPotato> slavik, 6, one is an extended
[06:01] <efram> gravemind: lol i got way less res :P
[06:01] <MilitantPotato> it counts that as a partition in fdisk
[06:01] <gravemind> d'oh!
[06:01] <efram> grave I should try again :P
[06:01] <slavik`lap> TheViLliN: if it's the home dir, then you can do something like: tar cpjf backup.tar.bz2 -C /home username
[06:01] <slavik`lap> where username is your username
[06:01] <TheViLliN> slavik'lap: what is that command though
[06:02] <gravemind> efram: can you paste your xorg.conf for me?
[06:02] <gravemind> efram: you can try it again too
[06:02] <slavik`lap> MilitantPotato: looks good to me
[06:02] <Yono> what software can I use to monitor system temperature on my laptop?
[06:02] <gravemind> efram: make sure you choose the right driver from the list
[06:02] <TheViLliN> nice  and tar it up in one file
[06:02] <MilitantPotato> slavik`lap: ty
[06:02] <TheViLliN> i like it..
[06:02] <slavik`lap> TheViLliN: you understand the options?
[06:03] <alv4r0> hi
[06:03] <slavik`lap> Create, Preserver permissions, (J) Bzip2 compression, File (output), (C) cd before running
[06:03] <MilitantPotato> my backup command = http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33780/
[06:03] <corentin> Bye all
[06:04] <alv4r0> how can i apply a *.patch file?
[06:04] <moyer> here is my issue, I installed a theme i liked.. but i dont like how it themed my gaim application.. is it possible to just remove the theming from gaim, but keep it on the rest of the desktop?
[06:04] <MilitantPotato> ok, restarting, wish me luck
[06:04] <moyer> good luck MilitantPotato
[06:04] <slavik`lap> MilitantPotato: no need
[06:04] <moyer> :)
[06:04] <slavik`lap> MilitantPotato: if that is the only thing you did then just do sudo mount -a
[06:04] <MilitantPotato> I always get nervious editing core bits of linux
[06:04] <slavik`lap> MilitantPotato: you only added the sdb stuff?
[06:04] <moyer> me too MilitantPotato  :)
[06:04] <MilitantPotato> yes slavik
[06:05] <MilitantPotato> will that not make them mount on boot?
[06:05] <slavik`lap> MilitantPotato: yes, but you can mount them now :)
[06:05] <Fezzler> In terminal, what would be the DOS equivalent of "MODE COM1: 300  where in Linux COM1 is ttyUSB0?
[06:05] <MilitantPotato> ah!
[06:05] <slavik`lap> sudo mount -a
[06:05] <alv4r0> i've a source, and a .patch file.. how can apply the patch?
[06:05] <Fezzler> Also what is the equivalent of DOS COPY FILE.TXT COM1:
[06:05] <slavik`lap> alv4r0:  man patch :)
[06:06] <slavik`lap> Fezzler: copy = cp
[06:06] <MilitantPotato> mount: mount point /media/sdb6 does not exist
[06:06] <MilitantPotato> Argh
[06:06] <stdin> alv4r0: something like "patch < file.patch"
[06:06] <MilitantPotato> sudo md /media/sdb* right?
[06:06] <slavik`lap> MilitantPotato: create the directories
[06:06] <alv4r0> ok....
[06:06] <slavik`lap> mkdir
[06:06] <MilitantPotato> mkdir, ty
[06:06] <bruenig> alv4r0, usually patch -p0 <path/to/patch/file but it depends on how the patch is formatted really
[06:06] <slavik`lap> Fezzler: why would you need to change mode on a tty?
[06:06] <UBUNTU01> http://antigop-k4.narod.ru/UBUNTU.HTML
[06:07] <Fezzler> I'm trying to exchange files from a my Ubuntu thru ttyUSB0 through a USB-to-Serial cable into and old Tandy Model 100 RS232 port
[06:07] <alv4r0> WORKS!
[06:07] <slavik`lap> Fezzler: and you can't usesudo?
[06:07] <alv4r0> thanks guys! :)
[06:08] <Fezzler> slav: How so?
[06:08] <slavik`lap> sudo command
[06:08] <Fezzler> Use sudo that is?
[06:08] <slavik`lap> man sudo :)
[06:09] <SerZh> offtopic: where i can find some actionscript channel? i'm tired looking all the list =/
[06:09] <slavik`lap> actionscript is flash, no?
[06:09] <slavik`lap> try #flash?
[06:09] <SerZh> yep
[06:09] <Fezzler> Does Ubuntu/Linux have a XMODEM program or easy terminal program that I can communicate in/out ttyUSB0?
[06:09] <slavik`lap> Fezzler: telnet?
[06:09] <SerZh> slavik`lap, missed )
[06:09] <xtknight> Fezzler, well there are minicom progs
[06:10] <SerZh>     ?)
[06:10] <xtknight> Fezzler, called no other than "minicom" :)
[06:10] <slavik`lap> wait, telnet can'tdo that
[06:10] <MilitantPotato> mount: special device /dev/disk/by-uuid/8E307149307138F3 does not exist
[06:10] <MilitantPotato> mount: /dev/hda7 already mounted or /media/Games1 busy
[06:10] <MilitantPotato> mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda7 is mounted on /media/disk
[06:10] <MilitantPotato> X(
[06:10] <slavik`lap> lol
[06:10] <xtknight> Fezzler, you can adjust the options in there to point to ttyUSB0 not tty0  in fact you must.
[06:10] <slavik`lap> MilitantPotato: you can umount it
[06:10] <MilitantPotato> i don't have any other refrences to /dev/hda7 in fstab
[06:10] <MilitantPotato> disk is unmounted?
[06:10] <Fezzler> slav: No telnet.  This is raw sending of files out the RS232 port and into the ttyUSB0 and visa versa
[06:10] <slavik`lap> MilitantPotato: it was automounted by something
[06:10] <Fezzler> Like the old ProComm
[06:11] <TheViLliN> slavik'lap  i think so,  create a new archive, preserve file permissions, dont copy zero byte files, use bzip2 archiving .  but what does the username part mean.  it is for remote mounts /systems?
[06:11] <slavik`lap> MilitantPotato: it says that hda7 is already mounted
[06:11] <MilitantPotato> yea what would auto mount it?
[06:11] <Fezzler> xtknight: recommend a minicom for Ubuntu?  Will they work with USB?  ttyUSB0?
[06:11] <TheViLliN> add to MAN it though  hehe
[06:11] <Revel> probably a dumb question, but how do you change cds with wine when it says the drive is in use and you can umount lol
[06:11] <slavik`lap> TheViLliN: that's where you put your username, basically it tars up your entire home directory :)
[06:11] <UBUNTU01> Sorry for dead link.
[06:12] <slavik`lap> "wine eject"
[06:12] <Revel> thanx ;)

[06:13] <TheViLliN> cool,   thx slavik"lap
[06:13] <xtknight> Fezzler, yes
[06:13] <xtknight> Fezzler, they will work.  package "minicom"

[06:15] <slavik`lap> ochen
[06:15] <SerZh> vidimo da)
[06:15] <TheViLliN> hey slavik"lap   would it be possible to copy the /etc directory then grep any changes in a lower runtime if needed?
[06:15] <UBUNTU01> :D
[06:15] <MilitantPotato> slavik`lap: thanks again for the help.
[06:15] <Sensae> I have a Trendnet TEG-PCITXR gigabit ethernet adapter. I've installed it and it's running on r8169 drivers, however it only operates at 10base-T
[06:15] <Revel> slavik`lap: i hit ignore, seems to work ;)
[06:15] <RyanRyan52> I just installed Ubuntu and when I rebooted it said: "GRUB loading... Please wait" then it said "Error 18". What do I do?
[06:15] <efram> gravemind: its better now.. but its still not 1680x1050 it still stuck at 1280
[06:15] <slavik`lap> TheViLliN: eh?
[06:16] <anabelle> hi, i just instaled a broadcom wireless card using bcm43xx-fwcutter and now it looks like its working, but the wireless interface shows up as eth1 should it be wlan0 for it to work properly or it doesn't matter?
[06:16] <slavik`lap> anabelle: don't matter
[06:16] <anabelle> thank you slavik
[06:16] <TheViLliN> ummm   let me rethink that one  eheh,  just need some more reading..
[06:16] <slavik`lap> anabelle: that eth1/wlan0 stuff is for you to somehow refer to the interface
[06:16] <slavik`lap> TheViLliN: grep for what changes in lower level?
[06:16] <Sensae> Has anyone gotten a Trendnet gigabit PCI adapter working in ubuntu?
[06:17] <TheViLliN> any changes to any say"config files"
[06:17] <RudyValencia> Sensae: what model?
[06:18] <slavik`lap> TheViLliN: so, you want versioning  control for them
[06:18] <Sensae> Rudy: TEG-PCITXR
[06:18] <anabelle> also when i turn off the wireless card switch it turns from bluo (on) to orange (off) properly but after about 10 Secs it reverts to blue even though i haven't turned it on
[06:18] <slavik`lap> anabelle: broadcom?
[06:18] <anabelle> yes :)
[06:18] <slavik`lap> also, are you using ndiswrapper?
[06:18] <anabelle> no, bcm43xx-fwcutter
[06:18] <slavik`lap> or the native and which chipset (if you know)
[06:19] <RudyValencia> Sensae: I think there may be a driver on the manufacturer's site
[06:19] <Sensae> Rudy: Only driver I could find is for kernel 2.2
[06:19] <anabelle> Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN
[06:19] <RudyValencia> oh
[06:19] <slavik`lap> oi vei
[06:19] <anabelle> using wl_apsta.o
[06:19] <slavik`lap> anabelle: could be something with the driver, check #bcm-users maybe someone there can answer your query
[06:20] <anabelle> thanks
[06:21] <TheViLliN> slavik"lap: well   not really,  at the moment.  i think i need to stay with one think at the momment.  ie// the backing up of the system files in one go
[06:21] <efram> gravemind: yah its very strange.. Iv tried like 5 times now.. best I can get is 1280x1024
[06:21] <slavik`lap> TheViLliN: MilitantPotato did pastebin his backup script which backs up /etc also
[06:22] <philthy> what is the netstat equivalent in linux?

[06:23] <TheViLliN> ah  oops  missed that,  got it now...  thx...
[06:23] <xtknight> i thought closed source was planned
[06:23] <gravemind> efram: hmm you may need to use a modeline generator
[06:23] <slavik`lap> xtknight: didn't creative send a card to alsa people?
[06:23] <gravemind> efram: but that is past my experience, sorry
[06:23] <xtknight> efram,  use "gtf"
[06:23] <xtknight> slavik`lap, not sure
[06:24] <efram> gravemind: well thanks a million for all your help bro =D
[06:24] <paotzu> anyone check out linuxmce?
[06:24] <efram> xtknight: umm just type that in the terminal?

[06:40] <boardstar> hey all .. im trying to get a file into my /usr/lib/ directory .. but i keep getting told i dont have permission to the directory .. what do i need to do?
[06:40] <boardstar> ive tried alt+f2 and running the program ive been trying to use to move.. didnt work
[06:41] <philthy> boardstar, did you write sudo?
[06:41] <astro76> boardstar, what program?
[06:41] <Rubin> Revel, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/92761
[06:41] <elfboy> can some one tell me where i can fing the sound config
[06:41] <boardstar> astro: using krusader
[06:41] <Rubin> boardstar, you need to be root maybe, using sudo to do it. but you should probably not be messing with that unless you know what your doing more. Why do you want to put files there?
[06:41] <rockets> How do I rename an ext3 partition?
[06:42] <Rubin> rockets, rename?
[06:42] <bobon1100> how do you mount a disk through ssh?
[06:42] <astro76> boardstar, run kdesu krusader, be careful and close it as soon as you are done
[06:42] <bluuwMe> rockets: be careful with that
[06:42] <Rubin> bobon1100, google sshfs
[06:42] <rockets> Rubin, yes change the label of the partition.
[06:42] <dWho> does anyone made a successful scanning using BenQ U/4300U and S2W 3300 in fiesty?
[06:42] <elfboy> whats he trying to do
[06:42] <rockets> bluuwMe, ?
[06:42] <n2diy> I lost my dialup connection, and when I went to re-connect, kppp told me the modem was busy.  I reset the modem, still busy, switched modems, still busy, disconnected the modem, and still busy. Reset the port with minicom, same thing. Did init 1 then init 5, logged out of root, and back in as me, and that fixed it. Ideas?
[06:42] <bobon1100> Rubin, ty :)
[06:42] <Rubin> rockets, the label can be changed with e2label
[06:43] <boardstar> philthy: ok .. just adding some plugins for xmms  into the uder/lib/xmms dir
[06:43] <pizzle> anyone know why ubuntu wont let me change resolution past 1024x768?
[06:43] <elfboy> can some one tell me where i can find the sound config
[06:43] <Rubin> n2diy, some daemon probably had the device in use

[06:44] <rockets> Rubin, your right i meant to do sdb1
[06:44] <Rubin> n2diy, sorry, no
[06:44] <rockets> it worked now
[06:44] <rockets> thanks
[06:44] <Rubin> rockets, but thats not the label that shows up in your gui.. its used for fstab and things.
[06:44] <astro76> !sound | elfboy
[06:44] <ubotu> elfboy: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[06:44] <riyonuk> Ok, a widget is like a scrollbar right?
[06:44] <numist> Amaranth: -R?
[06:44] <numist> your channel
[06:45] <rockets> Rubin, I wan't to change the label of the disk that shows up when its automounted in the gui
[06:45] <Amaranth> numist: what?
[06:45] <Rubin> riyonuk, a scrollbar is an example of a widget, yes
[06:45] <pizzle> hm
[06:45] <Rubin> rockets, i havnt figured that one out yet myself
[06:45] <numist> never mind
[06:45] <lns> oh no, riyonuk is still after his theme disaster? ;)
[06:45] <rockets> Rubin, grr thanks though
[06:45] <keelvarra_> does anyone know home to use aa3d?
[06:45] <Amaranth> numist: oh, didn't know that was set
[06:45] <elfboy> astro76: i want to know how they got sound to work
[06:45] <Amaranth> dunno how to see channel modes :)
[06:45] <numist> Amaranth: I set it, but this isn't really my channel
[06:45] <elfboy> astro76: cose i cant get sound to work on gebtoo box
[06:45] <Rubin> elfboy, most people have sound work without doing anything
[06:46] <numist> /mode #ubuntu should do it
[06:46] <keelvarra_> I downloaded aa3d because it sounded interesting, but can't figure out what to do with it
[06:46] <rockets> Rubin, it worked actually
[06:46] <numist> although, my client is being weird
[06:46] <Rubin> rockets, interesting!
[06:46] <rockets> Rubin, i changed the label to heavy and it automounted as heavy
[06:46] <Amaranth> now it works :)
[06:46] <Rubin> thats cool
[06:46] <riyonuk> Ok, and gtk themes widggets right?
[06:46] <riyonuk> Yes...
[06:46] <riyonuk> Its soo hard
[06:46] <riyonuk> Im never gonna give up
[06:46] <numist> yeah not here >_<
[06:46] <riyonuk> If there was such thing as something like remote desktop, I wish someone could conenct, and show me how to do it >_<
[06:46] <Rubin> riyonuk, there is VNC
[06:46] <elfboy> anyone
[06:46] <rockets> Heavy, to distinguish it from my "light" external drive.
[06:46] <rockets> Very scientific I know.
[06:46] <riyonuk> oh...I totally forgot about that, Rubin would you be willing to do it
[06:47] <lns> i'll do it.. $100/hr ;)
[06:47] <riyonuk> ?
[06:47] <riyonuk> or lns?
[06:47] <riyonuk> huh, woulda?
[06:47] <Rubin> no, sorry.
[06:47] <lns> that's what i charge everyone else
[06:47] <riyonuk> :o
[06:47] <riyonuk> >_>
[06:47] <lns> =p
[06:47] <lns> sorry
[06:47] <riyonuk> really? thats so mean
[06:47] <lns> gotta make money somehow!
[06:47] <riyonuk> :(
[06:47] <Rubin> no it isnt. your here to learn. if you want someone to do it for you buy support
[06:47] <ibanex> can anyone tell me how i could create a custom alternate install cd with LESS packages.. i can only find ways to add more
[06:47] <n2diy> lns, and how many customers do you have? Here?
[06:48] <elfboy> i need to see how ubuntu set sound on my computer cose i canget get sound to work on gentoo
[06:48] <lns> ibanex, do you think the netinstall cd would work for you?
[06:48] <Rubin> ibanex, theres a tool to help you build custom ubuntu live CDs. i saw it somewhere yesterday.. reddit maybe. try google? (sorry i dont remember the name)
[06:48] <lns> n2diy, on IRC? none.
[06:48] <Rubin> elfboy, /j #gentoo
[06:48] <n2diy> lns, roger that. :)
[06:48] <kevinh90> ibanex, if you dont like the ubuntu-desktop package list, why not use another distro
[06:49] <ibanex> lns: can i select packages from the netinstall?
[06:49] <epiclulz> anyone know why ubuntu wont let me change resolution past 1024x768?
[06:49] <^tiNee^> would installing psybnc on my box to mask my ip be a bad idea?
[06:49] <ibanex> Rubin: i found UCK and reconstructor, both would only allow me to add
[06:49] <lns> ibanex, well it's basically a minimalist install  - you download packages from the net during install
[06:49] <Rubin> epiclulz, generally, your xorg is not happy with the configuration it has for your video card and monitor
[06:50] <Rubin> ibanex, lns is prolly on the right track here
[06:50] <epiclulz> Rubin: how do i fix it
[06:50] <arturo> hi
[06:50] <ibanex> kevinh90: because i just want a smaller ubuntu, i like it, but i dont like what it installs at first
[06:50] <Rubin> ^tiNee^, i use irssi with the irssi-proxy module. its a bit more usefull in some ways
[06:50] <ibanex> lns: sweet, thanks, i will try
[06:50] <lns> no prob bob
[06:50] <Rubin> ibanex, i think the server install disk has less packages too
[06:51] <^tiNee^> Rubin, whats the difference with irssi and bitchx?
[06:51] <yeniklasorr> What is categories of Development of gnome menu ? Internet is "Categories=Network;Application;"
[06:51] <^tiNee^> they kinda look the same
[06:51] <kevinh90> ibanex, whatever you like, the server install might be a good idea
[06:51] <vexati0n> i have a (probably stupid) question... why, in my HP laptop, can i install a screen (directly from HP) that is labeled as "WSXGA," but the laptop is only capable of WXGA?
[06:51] <seanj> yay, I got Serious Sam 2 working on Ubuntu
[06:51] <arturo> why can't  innstall SUSE 10.2 ina mac mini ??
[06:51] <Flannel> ibanex: your other alternateive is alternate CD, and then do a GUI-less install
[06:51] <lns> Rubin, yes, it doesn't install Xorg but it does install some servers so be careful of what you run on it
[06:51] <Rubin> ^tiNee^, irssi is very different.. but mainly in this case, bitchx doesnt have a proxy plugin.
[06:51] <^tiNee^> oic
[06:51] <seanj> I'm using Irssi right now !
[06:51] <Rubin> ^tiNee^, http://www.garion.org/irssi/irssi-proxy.php
[06:51] <lns> arturo, why not ask in a suse chan?
[06:51] <ibanex> Flannel: i forget if i can select packages with the alternate
[06:51] <^tiNee^> Rubin, ty
[06:52] <nextse7en> Could someone recommend an easy to use WYSIWYG web page creator that I can download from the repositories?
[06:52] <arturo> oks thanx
[06:52] <ibanex> kevinh90: Rubin: i feel weird about the server install on a desktop, but if it has basic packages i might as well
[06:52] <lns> ibanex, i'd rather you do the netinstall
[06:52] <lns> but its your choice
[06:52] <astro76> nextse7en, bluefish, amaya
[06:53] <Rubin> ibanex, the only difference is in the default installed packages. dont feel weird about it.
[06:53] <ibanex> lns: ok
[06:53] <nextse7en> astro76: Thanks.
[06:53] <n2diy> I lost my dialup connection, and when I went to re-connect, kppp told me the modem was busy.

[06:53] <lns> as long as you have a fast inet connection
[06:53] <Rubin> netinstall is better though, i agree with lns
[06:53] <s88_> hi all
[06:53] <rockets> Whats a good tool for ripping discs to ISO format? mkisofs is no good cuz it doesnt preserve the boot record on the disc
[06:53] <Rubin> n2diy, do you know about the 'lsof' command?
[06:53] <epiclulz> anyone know why ubuntu wont let me change resolution past 1024x768 and how to fix it?
[06:53] <Rubin> rockets, k3b?
[06:54] <n2diy> Rubin: no I don't, let me play with it.
[06:54] <astro76> epiclulz, http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:54] <pawan_> E: vmware-server: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[06:54] <jmdc> I'm trying to create an ad-hoc wireless network in feisty without network-manager. Pointers to documentation would be appreciated.
[06:54] <Rubin> n2diy, it should tell you what has the file open, if thats the problem
[06:54] <jmdc> specifically, about initial cell creation
[06:55] <lns> jmdc, try googling iwconfig
[06:55] <micman> hello ubuntoers!
[06:55] <riyonuk> I tried learning, I read I tinkered, nothing happened
[06:55] <riyonuk> lns saw what happen
[06:55] <riyonuk> it was horrible :o
[06:55] <riyonuk> So how does one skin the actual toolbar?
[06:55] <riyonuk> All they talk about is skinning widgets
[06:55] <riyonuk> using GTK::Widgets
[06:55] <n2diy> Rubin: That gives me a ton of stuff, I'll have to sort through it, thanks.
[06:55] <rockets> Rubin, yeah i cant figure that out . . .
[06:55] <riyonuk> lns, Im gonna ccry, this is so difficult, ugh
[06:55] <lns> riyonuk, you tried diff users?
[06:55] <arturo> what is last version of wine i can't run fifa 2007
[06:55] <Rubin> riyonuk, i think you need to build a gtk theme
[06:56] <pawan> E: vmware-server: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[06:56] <Rubin> riyonuk, no idea how to do that though. try looking on the gnome website?
[06:56] <astro76> arturo, http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
[06:56] <Rubin> pawalls, thats bad. what did you do to cause it? :)
[06:56] <Rubin> er, pawan, sorry pawalls
[06:56] <s88_> I wnat to configure NIS , does anyone have any good reference?
[06:57] <s88_> I mean, some documents...
[06:57] <Rubin> pawan: maybe that vmware package is not compatable with your version of ubuntu?
[06:57] <riyonuk> OMG! Ok, I go to System > Prefrences > Theme, click on Installa new theme, and browse to a .tar.gz file, I choose yet to use it, and it looks like windows. What am I doing wrong? Is gnome corrupted? Am I missing an engine?
[06:57] <pawan> then
[06:57] <nextse7en> I was looking more for something with the functionality of frontpage, but open source, any recommendations?
[06:58] <Flannel> !html | nextse7en
[06:58] <ubotu> nextse7en: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build webpages. Editors in Ubuntu: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem, and Nvu. For howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com
[06:58] <dsterry_> nextse7en, i like quanta myself...coming from a dreamweaver past
[06:58] <TheCreationist> I'm looking for a Linux alternative to Noteworthy or Finale.  Anyone have ideas?
[06:58] <jmdc> lns, Thanks, I'm reading the man page, but the basic 'iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc' isn't working out for me.
[06:58] <Rubin> nextse7en, none of those are like frontpage. but if your willing to be open minded about the process, it can work for you
[06:58] <nextse7en> dsterry_: Thanks, I'll look into it.
[06:59] <lns> jmdc, just keep reading and troubleshooting
[06:59] <nextse7en> Rubin: I certainly am, thanks for the advice.
[06:59] <lns> it takes some time to get past all the weirdnesses of wifi on linux ;)
[06:59] <Rubin> i have seen from general forum reading that various wifi cards respond to various tools, so its largely trial and error still :/
[06:59] <lns> mostly due to closed-source wifi drivers
[07:00] <jmdc> lns yeah I really can't wait for gutsy and kernel 2.6.22 and better broadcom drivers.
[07:00] <lns> me too.
[07:00] <s88_> Does anyone have successful configure the NIS on the ubuntu?
[07:00] <Lustblader> does any1 know of a music player for linux that doesn't have a library?
[07:00] <Lustblader> something like foobar in windows
[07:00] <lns> I do like how hardware manufacturers are starting to respond to linux these days though
[07:00] <Rubin> Lustblader, i reccomend audacious
[07:01] <pawan> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/vmware-server_1.0.3-1_i386.deb: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
[07:01] <lns> Lustblader, xmms or bmp
[07:01] <Lustblader> is it playlist based?
[07:01] <Frogzoo> Lustblader: audacious?
[07:01] <Rubin> pawalls, you may need to ask a vmware expert.. its not really our area since vmware is a closed source program
[07:01] <Lustblader> i got waay too much music for a audio player to handle
[07:01] <Rubin> ugh. pwan**. *sigh*
[07:02] <Rubin> Lustblader, im in the same boat. i use ampache.. so yeah. you will like it. its like xmms only works :)  (looks like winamp)
[07:02] <Lustblader> Rubin: ever seen foobar in windows??
[07:02] <Rubin> yeah
[07:03] <Lustblader> damn awesome.. tabbed playlists are the best things ever
[07:03] <lns> wow i never saw audacious before!
[07:03] <Rubin> lns: it used to be called beep-media-player
[07:03] <lns> oh...i've been using bmp for a while
[07:03] <Lustblader> i'm installing bmpx now
[07:03] <lns> but its kinda buggy
[07:03] <lns> this looks nice
[07:03] <Rubin> yeah
[07:04] <riotkittie> awesome!! i did it!! i diiiiiiiiid it.
[07:05] <kazzmir> aplay -l says card0 is a modem... should i change something in bios?
[07:05] <n2diy> riotkittie: I missed the play, what did you do?
[07:06] <Rubin> kazzmir, if you dont get anywhere here you could try #alsa they are nice
[07:06] <niuq> i need help installing wine
[07:07] <yeniklasorr> I'm trying to make a bin sh. This must execute 2 command. "cd /opt/ebyn/" and "exec sh bdp.sh" How can I do this ?
[07:07] <Rubin> niuq, should be in synaptic
[07:07] <riotkittie> n2diy: finally managed to get online under feisty with my wireless usb adapter
[07:07] <yeniklasorr> Sorry I'm trying to make a bin sh. This must execute 2 command. "cd /opt/ebyn/" and "sh bdp.sh" How can I do this ?
[07:07] <niuq> Rubin: ohh  ok, i should search there first
[07:07] <riotkittie> sucks because i'm limited to WEP but i guess i can live with that. better than nothing :D
[07:07] <Lustblader> hey!! is there anyway to remove these unneccesary shoutcast/icecast buttons from bmpx
[07:07] <Rubin> yeniklasorr,  http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html
[07:07] <n2diy> riotkittie: Cool, document how you did it, so you don't forget! :)
[07:07] <yeniklasorr> ok
[07:08] <Lustblader> ?
[07:08] <Lustblader> !hello
[07:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hello - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:09] <riotkittie> n2diy: ehhh. the info's out there. just very jumbled.
[07:09] <etyrnal> how do i launch an app at system startup time as a persistent process that will run as a specified user ??
[07:09] <riotkittie> or maybe my searches just left something to be desired. <shrug>
[07:09] <etyrnal> thankyou
[07:09] <Lustblader> what are u looking for riotkittie
[07:09] <Rubin> etyrnal, cheap way is to run it from /etc/rc.local .. you can put 'su -u username' in front of the command to run under another user. better way is to make an init script..
[07:09] <mzuverink> anyone have any luck upgrading to gusty using update-manager -d?  Mine says that it cannot find feisty proposed, its been saying that for 3 days
[07:09] <riotkittie> Lustblader: nothing.
[07:10] <Flannel> mzuverink: #ubuntu+1 for gutsy support
[07:10] <LDS_Trooper> Is there a way to change ownership of multiple files?
[07:10] <Rubin> LDS_Trooper, chown -R makes it recurse
[07:10] <Frogzoo> LDS_Trooper: man chown
[07:10] <n2diy> riotkittie: Roger that, but you just went through it, so you could update the info, add it to a wiki, or better yet, have it available for yourself, for the next time you have to do it. And you know there will be a next time! :)
[07:11] <LDS_Trooper> Rubin, basically, I made a user group for my wife. When I copied her files over they still have me as owner
[07:11] <LDS_Trooper> so I need to change that
[07:12] <Rubin> LDS_Trooper, yeah. so if they are all in one folder, something like sudo chown -R herusername.hergroup /path/to/herdirectory
[07:12] <carthik> herusername:hergroup LDS_Trooper
[07:12] <carthik> : instead of .
[07:12] <Rubin> eh?
[07:12] <LDS_Trooper> ok thanks
[07:12] <LDS_Trooper> let me try that
[07:12] <epiclulz> hm
[07:13] <LDS_Trooper> tho I'm not certain of the path
[07:13] <Rubin> LDS_Trooper, where did you put them? :)
[07:13] <LDS_Trooper> I access it thru sudo nautilus /home
[07:13] <epiclulz> is there an easy way to install compiz fusion?
[07:13] <riotkittie> epiclulz: errr... elaborate on 'easy'?
[07:14] <n2diy> Hmm indeed, I don't think I'd want my wife to have a users group! :)
[07:14] <Rubin> LDS_Trooper, well, nautilus paths are the same as filesystem paths...
[07:14] <travis> can anyone help me with my wireless card
[07:14] <epiclulz> riotkittie: just point and click?
[07:14] <carthik> LDS_Trooper, use cd to change to the directory above the directory you want to change permissions on, and then do chown -R hergroup:hername dirname
[07:14] <LDS_Trooper> ok let's see how it goes.. *crosses fingers
[07:14] <riotkittie> epiclulz: not that i know of.
[07:14] <Revel> This is getting REALLY annoying.
[07:14] <philthy> how can i make it so just the background of gaim windows are transparent, not the font?
[07:14] <philthy> (adium style)
[07:14] <riotkittie> but my experience with compiz-fusion to date has been 'curse like a sailor, do a fresh install'
[07:14] <Revel> does anyone know how to make DHCP with custom DNS stick?  it wipes dns ever reboot
[07:15] <Rubin> Revel, theres lots of hits in google for solving that
[07:15] <Revel> Rubin: give me a search clue please, im drowning in bad hits.
[07:15] <riotkittie> iCoogle is now known as ThoseNickChangesGrowAnnoying
[07:15] <Rubin> revel: ubuntu dhcp resolv.conf ?
[07:15] <carthik> Revel, read http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/08/02/local-dns-cache-for-faster-browsing/
[07:15] <Revel> resolve.cong gets over written
[07:16] <Revel> unless im missing a step
[07:16] <Avielu1> /ghost avielus<PHONE_NUMBER>23184d
[07:16] <travis> built in wireless?
[07:16] <carthik> Revel, some of that helps with the resolv.conf inssue
[07:16] <Avielu1> you joking?
[07:16] <Avielu1> /ghost avielus
[07:16] <Revel> checkin link Carthik thanx
[07:16] <Avielu1> hmm
[07:16] <carthik> Avielu1, /msg nicserv ghost ....
[07:16] <Avielu1> Doh!
[07:16] <carthik> nickserv, I mean
[07:16] <Avielu1> i'm not talking to nickserv T_T
[07:17] <philthy> how can i make it so just the background of gaim windows are transparent, not the font? (adium style)
[07:17] <Avielu1> used to using other IRC clients
[07:17] <faileas> Avielu1: also... you probably had a space in front?
[07:17] <riotkittie> travis: what kind of card? chipset, rather. i'm not a wireless expert with any means...  but if its something i've come across...
[07:17] <Avielu1> nope, i tried it again
[07:17] <Avielu1> /ghost.
[07:17] <carthik> philthy, please dont repeat the question too often.
[07:17] <philthy> carthik, okay. haha, that's actually a pet peeve of mine also. i'm a hypocrite
[07:17] <Avielus> right. that never happened.
[07:18] <travis> umm its a in a dell
[07:18] <travis> inspiron
[07:18] <travis> i think broadcom
[07:18] <dystopianray> travis: run lspci and see what wifi card it has
[07:18] <faileas> travis: is the laptop centerno based? (sp)?
[07:18] <travis> centrino yes
[07:18] <dystopianray> centrino
[07:18] <Revel> carthik: this is local cache?  isnt their a "i want this stop changing it" setting?
[07:18] <travis> lol
[07:18] <dystopianray> travis: centrino should have intel wireless
[07:18] <faileas> then its a intel
[07:19] <Avielus> centrino* and I might have the sameish laptop
[07:19] <Avielus> I have intel wireless
[07:19] <faileas> thats why i asked ;)
[07:19] <riotkittie> oooh fios.
[07:19] <dystopianray> travis: check lspci and see exactly what card it is
[07:19] <faileas> ANY centrino has some flavour of intel
[07:19] <travis> 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)
[07:19] <travis> 02:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 [AirForce 54g]  802.11a/b/g PCI Express Transceiver (rev 02)
[07:19] <travis> pci
[07:19] <dystopianray> it's broadcom
[07:19] <faileas> o0
[07:19] <travis> note : im running ubuntu ultimate
[07:20] <faileas> thats wierd
[07:20] <n2diy> ultimate?
[07:20] <Avielus> ubuntu... ultimate?
[07:20] <riotkittie> broadcom ...  does that require ndiswrapper?
[07:20] <travis> yes
[07:20] <lns> lol
[07:20] <seanj> what's Ubuntu ultimate?
[07:20] <travis> i was told that a few days ago
[07:20] <riotkittie> wth is ubunt...
[07:20] <carthik> Revel, if you read that you will find that you can ask resolv.conf to not be updated everytime the lease is
[07:20] <dystopianray> is ubuntu ultimate unsupported?
[07:20] <lns> It's UbuntuVista
[07:20] <n2diy> ! ultimate
[07:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ultimate - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:20] <astro76> ubuntu ultimate = ubuntu with a bunch of crap installed and either automatix or envy
[07:20] <Revel> carthik: k my bad >.<
[07:20] <LDS_Trooper> Rubin, carthik. Thanks guys! Worked great
[07:20] <dystopianray> ubuntu ultimate is a third party distro
[07:20] <carthik> philthy, if you are using compiz.compiz fusion, there is a plugin that does that... opacify or some such
[07:20] <travis> lol hey thz guys
[07:20] <riotkittie> ubuntu vista? that's like ice cream and pork chops. </offtopic>
[07:20] <travis> ttyl
[07:21] <seanj> http://ubuntusoftware.info/ultimate/
[07:21] <philthy> carthik, I'm using beryl. They have transparency, but it's for the whole window, including font.
[07:21] <lns> lol riotkittie
[07:21] <seanj> lol
[07:21] <lns> i heard ubuntu ultimate might make legal hassles for canoncial
[07:22] <carthik> philthy, here's where I read of it awhile ago:http://compiz.blogspot.com/2006/07/more-fun-with-shaders-copacity.html
[07:22] <riotkittie> if its a third party, how can they make legal hassles for anybody but themselves?
[07:22] <dystopianray> it's not a canonical product
[07:22] <carthik> might give you a starting point, philthy
[07:22] <faileas> lns: in what sense? canonoical can't be liable for something they didn't create
[07:22] <TheCreationist> Ubuntu Ultimate is not an official Ubuntu distro
[07:22] <niuq> for installing wine
[07:22] <n2diy> riotkittie: Ubuntu is trademarked?
[07:22] <savetheWorld> yes
[07:22] <niuq> i just should sudo apt-get install wine
[07:22] <niuq> ?
[07:22] <dystopianray> i don't think we're supposed to give ubuntu ultimate help in here
[07:22] <dystopianray> only official ubuntu
[07:22] <savetheWorld> shuttleworth foundation
[07:22] <lns> faileas, not sure..saw it on sd ;)
[07:22] <niuq> nothing else, some adds?
[07:22] <Avielus> completely random question: Why doesn't backspace go back for me in firefox? =P
[07:23] <faileas> sd is not a reliable news source ;)
[07:23] <savetheWorld> Avielus: use ALT-"left Arrow"
[07:23] <Avielus> aww
[07:23] <Avielus> do I have to
[07:23] <philthy> carthik, thanks.
[07:23] <savetheWorld> Avielus: or ALT-B
[07:23] <Avielus> well, alt B just doesn't work
[07:23] <Avielus> can I change the keybindings anywhere?
[07:23] <riotkittie> i wish my extra mouse keys worked under ubuntu. not that i ever use them. but thats besides the point.
[07:23] <carthik> Avielus, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/12/21/fix-firefox-backspace-to-take-you-to-the-previous-page/ ( I love it when the answer to a question is something I wrote :) )
[07:24] <Avielus> Lol, must feel good carthik
[07:24] <n2diy> Avielus: menu>system>prefrences>keyboard
[07:24] <carthik> It does :) These are things that have bugged me too, no end.
[07:24] <niuq> i only should use sudo apt-get install wine, for installing wine?, aren't there some modules to add?
[07:24] <Revel> carthik: this is really the only/best way to do this?  ....  seems so....  round about.
[07:25] <carthik> well, about:config is about direct as it gets, and easy, I might add.
[07:25] <Avielus> that worked
[07:25] <carthik> yay!
[07:25] <Avielus> easily
[07:25] <Avielus> =P
[07:26] <riotkittie> are pkgs installed via apt-get logged in Synaptic's history, or no?
[07:26] <yeniklasorr> Rubin : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33782/
[07:26] <Revel> .
[07:26] <carthik> riotkittie, they must be, yes.
[07:26] <riotkittie> carthik: thanks :D
[07:26] <carthik> riotkittie, why not try it out with a small experiment?
[07:26] <Infected_PC> i have a question about google desktop
[07:26] <carthik> Infected_PC, #google-desktop :P
[07:26] <Infected_PC> thanks ;)
[07:26] <Avielus> you have to be joking
[07:26] <riotkittie> carthik: because i so hate loading synaptic. and plus, that'd make too much sense
[07:26] <dgeorge> hey guys
[07:26] <Avielus> there can't be a #google-desktop O_o
[07:26] <carthik> just kidding, Infected_PC
[07:27] <dgeorge> how do i get the flash player installed
[07:27] <dgeorge> for firefox
[07:27] <dystopianray> dgeorge: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[07:27] <Infected_PC> there isn't a google desktop
[07:27] <Avielus> rofl, you had me there carthik
[07:27] <Infected_PC> but anyway i got it installed and running on feisty, but i wasn't sure if it had a side bar integrated into it like windows does
[07:27] <riotkittie> carthik: ok, just tried it... and apparently not
[07:27] <Rubin> yeniklasorr, thats a bit odd but should work :)
[07:27] <n2diy> I lost my dialup connection, and when I went to re-connect, kppp told me the modem was busy.  I reset the modem, still busy, switched modems, still busy, disconnected the modem, and still busy. Reset the port with minicom, same thing. Did init 1 then init 5, logged out of root, and back in as me, and that fixed it. Ideas?
[07:28] <carthik> dgeorge, $sudo apt-get install flashplayer-mozilla
[07:28] <carthik> dgeorge make sure you have universe and multiverse enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:28] <dgeorge> i get this
[07:28] <dgeorge> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[07:28] <dgeorge> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[07:28] <Rubin> dgeorge, use sudo
[07:28] <carthik> dgeorge, close Synaptic
[07:29] <dgeorge> i did that too still not working
[07:29] <dystopianray> carthik: the package you suggested is only for edgy
[07:29] <carthik> dgeorge only one of apt, aptitude, dpkg, synaptic can run at a time...
[07:29] <yeniklasorr> Rubin: says "bash: /usr/bin/ebyn: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory"
[07:29] <riotkittie> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[07:29] <Revel> ty everyone that lent me a hand tonight.  i gtg to bed so i dont miss work.
[07:29] <carthik> dystopianray, oh, that's good to know.
[07:29] <dgeorge> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[07:29] <dgeorge> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[07:29] <Revel> thanks again, nn
[07:29] <Rubin> yeniklasorr, did you use windows to edit that?
[07:29] <carthik> good night Revel
[07:29] <n2diy> Revel-sleep: 73
[07:29] <CFSworks> I have 2 accounts on my box. Both accounts are in the same group, and both have sudoers access, yet the second cannot sudo into root. Why is this?
[07:29] <dgeorge> ok i get this
[07:30] <dgeorge> Reading package lists... Done
[07:30] <dgeorge> Building dependency tree... Done
[07:30] <dgeorge> flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version.
[07:30] <dgeorge> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
[07:30] <Infected_PC> i found my answer ;) it's no google desktop for linux does not support sidebar or gadgets
[07:30] <dystopianray> yeniklasorr: shell scripts can't be windows format text files
[07:30] <yeniklasorr> Rubin : No linux
[07:30] <carthik> dgeorge, you have more than one package manager frontend running, and please stop pasting multiple lines here :)
[07:30] <dystopianray> dgeorge: you already have flash
[07:30] <Rubin> yeniklasorr, what editor?
[07:30] <astro76> CFSworks, add them to the admin group for sudo access
[07:30] <yeniklasorr> kate
[07:30] <n2diy> ! enter | dgeorge
[07:30] <CFSworks> They're in the same groups, astro76.
[07:30] <ubotu> dgeorge: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[07:30] <carthik> dgeorge, maybe it is flash 9 that you dont have
[07:30] <dgeorge> ok but when i go to a website still asks me to download it
[07:30] <dgeorge> k
[07:30] <yeniklasorr> Rubin : kate
[07:30] <dystopianray> yeniklasorr: change the end of line encoding to UNIX
[07:30] <dgeorge> yes flash 9
[07:30] <riotkittie> dgeorge: then you should have flash installed.
[07:30] <Rubin> yeniklasorr, its saved somehow as a DOS file. im not sure why i dont use kate. but thats why.
[07:30] <Avielus> Download it when it asks you to, dgeorge
[07:30] <dgeorge> how do i getthat
[07:30] <riotkittie> nm
[07:30] <dystopianray> dgeorge: you already have it
[07:30] <Avielus> i found that easiest
[07:31] <dgeorge> how do i make firefox see it
[07:31] <yeniklasorr> ok
[07:31] <dystopianray> dgeorge: the website is most likely wrong
[07:31] <dystopianray> dgeorge: does youtube work?
[07:31] <dystopianray> dgeorge: are you using feisty?
[07:31] <dgeorge> checking youtube
[07:31] <dgeorge> no
[07:31] <dystopianray> dgeorge: edgy?
[07:32] <dgeorge> no
[07:32] <dystopianray> dgeorge: what are you running?
[07:32] <dgeorge> ok when i go to you tube it quits my browser
[07:32] <dgeorge> regular ubuntu
[07:33] <Rubin> heh
[07:33] <CFSworks> So what are all the factors that sudo needs to work right?
[07:33] <dystopianray> dgeorge: which version?
[07:33] <dgeorge> how do oi check
[07:33] <niuq> how can i install a program .msi using wine?
[07:33] <niuq> i had problem using the gui
[07:33] <dgeorge> Gnome
[07:33] <dystopianray> niuq: msiexec
[07:33] <Rubin> CFSworks, its configured by /etc/sudoers .. by default in ubuntu everyone in the 'admin' group can sudo
[07:33] <niuq> dystopianray: thx
[07:33] <CFSworks> This new account is both in the 'admin' group and explicitly added to sudoers
[07:33] <dystopianray> dgeorge: cat /etc/lsb-release
[07:34] <Rubin> CFSworks, what happens?
[07:34] <Infected_PC> i think picasa is a sweet program for photos
[07:34] <CFSworks> I get the message "Sorry, try again." when the password is entered.
[07:34] <CFSworks> However it works fine on the first account.
[07:34] <dgeorge> 6.06 lts
[07:34] <Rubin> CFSworks, your entering that users password, not the root password right?
[07:34] <dystopianray> CFSworks: are you using the correct password?
[07:34] <CFSworks> Both are going into the root account, and I'm using the exact same password for sudo on both user accounts.
[07:34] <dystopianray> dgeorge: you need to get flash 9 from dapper-backports
[07:35] <astro76> CFSworks, they don't need to be added to /etc/sudoers at all, just admin group... But, did you use visudo to edit sudoers??
[07:35] <dystopianray> dgeorge: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper-backports/web/flashplugin-nonfree
[07:35] <Rubin> CFSworks, sudo is asking for the account password not root's password
[07:35] <n2diy> dgeorge: that is Dapper, good choice.
[07:35] <CFSworks> astro76, yes I did.
[07:36] <dgeorge> which one on this site do idownlaod
[07:36] <dgeorge> its installing now
[07:37] <rbraley> hello, can anyone tell me if gutsy's livecd installer is going to support linux software raid ?
[07:37] <dgeorge> still not working
[07:38] <astro76> rbraley, I think alternate is still needed, but ask in #ubuntu+1
[07:38] <pawan> hello
[07:38] <pHill> bloody cat nip
[07:38] <dystopianray> rbraley: you'll probably still need alternate
[07:38] <endlessurf> wondering what os program you have that is useful and entertaining....anyone
[07:38] <dystopianray> endlessurf: nethack
[07:38] <lns> endlessurf, wireshark
[07:39] <phenom> metaspl***
[07:39] <CFSworks> Would someone mind telling me wtf this message means?
[07:39] <CFSworks> [   45.483106]  eth0: Transmit timeout, status 0d 0000 c07f media 10.
[07:39] <Rubin> endlessurf, vim :)
[07:39] <ddazedd> can someone help me with compiz fusion?
[07:39] <Rubin> CFSworks, a bug in your ethernet driver
[07:39] <CFSworks> Aha! I knew it.
[07:39] <Rubin> might not matter..
[07:40] <CFSworks> Well, except for the fact that absolutely no messages are getting through the dang thing. -.-
[07:40] <Rubin> ahh :)
[07:40] <dgeorge> what else do i need to do
[07:40] <CFSworks> lol Thanks Rubin.
[07:40] <dystopianray> CFSworks: try a different cable
[07:40] <endlessurf> thanks
[07:40] <CFSworks> Ay. That's what my friend was afraid you'd say, dystopianray. :\
[07:41] <CowzRule>  3:-0 Moooo
[07:41] <dystopianray> CFSworks: what is wrong with trying another cable?
[07:41] <junior_> tem brasileiro aqui
[07:41] <CFSworks> Well, it's routed through the walls of the building.
[07:41] <Avielus> Ouch.
[07:41] <CFSworks> And he'll have to recrimp both ends.
[07:41] <socialist> anyone using splashy? and if so, does this sound familiar: when I boot up with splashy enabled (not in initrd), I'm getting 2 little visual artifacts at the top of the screen after the desktop shows up
[07:41] <rbraley> I am trying to install feisty for my dad and he wants software raid but manually mount points is scary because I am afraid that grub will not be able to find the linux kernel without a raid driver. Does anyone have raid working for themselves that would like to share?
[07:41] <dsterry_> CFS can't you test it with a laptop or some other device?
[07:42] <dystopianray> CFSworks: well then try another nic with the cable
[07:42] <dgeorge> can u use skype with linux
[07:42] <n2diy> ! es | junior_
[07:42] <ubotu> junior_: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[07:42] <dsterry_> dgeorge, yes, but last i checked no video chat
[07:42] <dgeorge> how do i install it
[07:42] <dystopianray> !skype
[07:42] <ubotu> To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[07:42] <CFSworks> He says it worked on Windoze.
[07:42] <pawan> how to use webcam in pidgin
[07:42] <CFSworks> That's strange.
[07:43] <dystopianray> CFSworks: what nic is it?
[07:43] <CowzRule> !foo
[07:43] <ubotu> bar
[07:43] <CFSworks> It's a RealTek RTL8139. Same kind of nic I run in my research machine in my basement.
[07:43] <Rubin> CFSworks, its not exactly relevent because those do work for a lot of people, but you should just be aware that realtek makes really crap cards...
[07:44] <CowzRule> !coffee
[07:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about coffee - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:44] <Rubin> CFSworks, might be worth the $5 to replace it
[07:44] <lns> CFSworks, I agree with Rubin - it sounds like a hw problem to me
[07:44] <lns> realtek 8139 has been good for a while in linux now
[07:44] <CFSworks> I knew it was a hw problem, just not sure exactly what.
[07:44] <lns> CFSworks, basic troubleshooting will tell you
[07:45] <lns> replace each part until it works
[07:45] <Rubin> the realtek cards use CPU to do a lot of their work, so they are slow and degrade your performance :/
[07:45] <CFSworks> What strikes me the oddest is that card works perfectly in my research 'nix box, and he says it worked perfectly in Windoze.
[07:45] <n2diy> CFSworks:  Rubin, lns, there are two drivers floating around for that card, try the .too driver.
[07:45] <nikolai> Has anyone tested Ktorrent in Gnome?
[07:45] <CFSworks> 8139too?
[07:45] <CFSworks> That's the one I run in my basement. ;) thanks
[07:45] <n2diy> 8139.too
[07:46] <RudyValencia> hm, are Linksys cards good?
[07:46] <CFSworks> 8139.too as opposed to 8139too ?
[07:46] <lokadin> how do i force remove a package?
[07:46] <CFSworks> And I agree with Intel. Can't go wrong with Intel. :)
[07:46] <RudyValencia> I have a few LNE100TX's
[07:46] <dystopianray> RudyValencia: it's probably just a rebranded card from another vendor
[07:46] <CFSworks> Except with Intel graphics. >:C
[07:46] <Rubin> lokadin, erm. why do you need to force it?
[07:46] <RudyValencia> are they pretty decent?
[07:47] <Avielus> >:( don't get me started on intel graphics
[07:47] <nikolai> Hmmm... Has anyone gotten the new intel wireless cards on the Inspiron 1520 laptops working?
[07:47] <dystopianray> intel graphics are great
[07:47] <lns> The only thing i really like about rt8139s is that they almost always have pxe roms
[07:47] <Avielus> and that smiley did not work
[07:47] <philthy> to find out where something puts its files, what is that dpkg thing?
[07:47] <lokadin> Rubin: well i've been trying to remove openoffice.org but it keeps giving me dependancy errors
[07:47] <Rubin> CFSworks, graphics drivers are still alpha. give them a few months
[07:47] <n2diy> CFSworks:  It's been over a year since I played with the 8139, so I'm not sure of its name now.
[07:47] <Rubin> lokadin, you dont want to force past dependancy errors in ubuntu unless your really advanced
[07:47] <dystopianray> nikolai: you probably need gutsy
[07:47] <lns> philthy, dpkg -L
[07:47] <astro76> RudyValencia, I've been running a few LNE100TXs for years, they're good enough
[07:47] <CFSworks> What? Graphics is solved. No problem.
[07:47] <nikolai> Thanks dystopianray
[07:47] <philthy> lsn, ty
[07:48] <lokadin> Rubin: well i was trying to do a dist-upgrade,  currently it's not completing the process cause of some conflicting dependancies
[07:48] <dystopianray> i love intel graphics
[07:48] <chuy> is there a command that I can run in bash that returns true if a certain file exists?
[07:48] <lns> np
[07:48] <RudyValencia> astro76: cool\
[07:48] <Rubin> lokadin, but to answer your question, man dpkg and apt-get
[07:48] <pawan> any good webcam software for ubuntu
[07:48] <yeniklasorr> Rubin : it is bashing absolute query
[07:48] <phrost6> can't get ubuntu server to install from a usb cdrom drive.. it's (the kernel) is detecting the drive as sr0 but not populating /dev and the installer can't find it
[07:48] <Avielus> intel graphics are the only thing between me and halo 2 :O
[07:48] <astro76> RudyValencia, I don't think the newer linksys are any good
[07:48] <lokadin> Rubin: well -f remove didn't work
[07:48] <CFSworks> I'm not much of a fan of their graphics, though. :(
[07:48] <RudyValencia> how are 3com 3C509 series?
[07:48] <lns> chuy, the if statement does this
[07:48] <n2diy> chuy, consult the bash man page.
[07:48] <CFSworks> Usually if I'm trying to put graphics in something, it's for very-high-end 3D.
[07:48] <missingxtension> can someone help me add ofbiz to /etc/init.d/
[07:49] <Rubin> lokadin, can you remove all the relevent packages involved and install them again after the upgrade?

[07:49] <lokadin> Rubin: i would love to do that
[07:49] <Rubin> lokadin, apt-get remove x y z does not work?
[07:49] <lokadin> yes
[07:49] <thedash> is there a way to minimize Evolution to tray and have it continue to update ?
[07:49] <astro76> RudyValencia, that's one of the best
[07:50] <chuy> lns: how? I did if myfile; then echo yes; fi, but it expect a command named myfile
[07:50] <lokadin> The following packages have unmet dependencies: language-support-sk: Depends: openoffice.org-help-sk but it is not installable
[07:50] <n2diy> thedash: drag it from the menu to the tray?
[07:50] <endlessurf> hey i had a question about wireshark....anyone
[07:50] <astro76> chuy, I think if [ -e myfile ]
[07:50] <Rubin> lokadin: uninstall language-support-sk also
[07:50] <lns> chuy, read about bash shell scripting
[07:50] <lns> the if statement and its syntax is basic bash scripting
[07:51] <chuy> done, astro76, it's f :)
[07:51] <lokadin> Rubin: there is a rather long list
[07:51] <dystopianray> endlessurf: hurry up and ask the question
[07:51] <endlessurf> oh
[07:51] <lns> lol
[07:51] <astro76> chuy, there's a ton of them
[07:51] <lokadin> Rubin: would be cool if i could remove them one at a time or something, or actually get them to remove
[07:51] <pawan> !gaim

[07:51] <lns> it's like a free support center where the gurus yell at the customers for not talking fast enough ;)
[07:52] <endlessurf> dystopianray:   i have my eth 1 and my lo under devices
[07:52] <endlessurf> i was wondering what is lo
[07:52] <lns> endlessurf, loopback interface (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[07:52] <Digit9> Hey, quick question. I'm running 5.10 and trying to burn 7.04, right clicking the ISO to burn it, burns it correctly right?
[07:52] <n2diy> endlessurf: lo is your loopback connector, linux uses that to talk to itself!
[07:52] <astro76> Digit9, yeah
[07:52] <endlessurf> hahah
[07:52] <Rubin> lokadin, usually you'll find that the override dependancy trail is longer or just as long as the other way. but if you must try it, dpkg --force-depends might do it
[07:52] <Digit9> So, it just doesnt burn the file
[07:52] <RudyValencia> hm, why's the AC'97 sound in this computer have background noise in it when I listen through headphones?
[07:52] <endlessurf> ah at least it is not just me
[07:53] <dobblego> how do I change the user that smbd runs as?
[07:53] <endlessurf> and now it's my computer
[07:53] <astro76> Digit9, indeed
[07:53] <Digit9> Well, that's good to know. Hopefully this works... Thanks Astro
[07:53] <n2diy> endlessurf: no, I'm serious, some processes check for lo.
[07:53] <Digit9> I shall be back after the install is complete :P
[07:54] <lokadin> Rubin: can dpkg remove things?
[07:54] <yeniklasorr> Why this a bash is doing absolute query?   #!/bin/bash  cd /opt/ebyn  /bin/bash bdp.sh
[07:54] <lns> lokadin, apt is a frontend for dpkg
[07:54] <s2rth> hi
[07:54] <CowzRule> }:-o  Moo
[07:54] <missingxtension> can someone help me add ofbiz as a service?
[07:54] <lokadin> what's the option for remove?
[07:55] <n2diy> lokadin: rm
[07:55] <s2rth> it seems compiz AMD64 ubuntu repository is broken
[07:55] <n2diy> lokadin: be very careful with that.
[07:55] <lokadin> n2diy: options usually have dashes infront
[07:55] <n2diy> lokadin: rm -i
[07:55] <lokadin> n2diy: nimwit
[07:56] <n2diy> lokadin: rtfm -f ;)
[07:56] <astro76> lokadin, it's better to use apt-get remove or aptitude remove
[07:56] <lokadin> n2diy: gfyaym
[07:56] <lns> s2rth, i just did an apt-get update fine from one of my servers
[07:56] <endlessurf> i believe you, but the response and my humor i can't help it
[07:56] <n2diy> lokadin: UNCLE
[07:56] <lokadin> lol
[07:56] <s2rth> but its still broken
[07:57] <s2rth> i just went tru web
[07:57] <lns> s2rth, ..?
[07:57] <s2rth> http://ubuntu.moshen.de/pool/feisty/eyecandy/compiz-config-ini_0.5.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
[07:57] <n2diy> lokadin: ok, what's gfyaym?
[07:57] <s2rth> its broken
[07:57] <lokadin> n2diy: you don't wanna know
[07:57] <s2rth> lns, please look that
[07:57] <therealnanotube> lokadin: dpkg -r should work to remove (man dpkg for details)
[07:58] <therealnanotube> lokadin: i wanna know! :)
[07:58] <lokadin> :P
[07:58] <n2diy> lokadin: so your going to make me google it?
[07:58] <lokadin> probably not gonna find it, i made it up on the spot
[07:58] <lns> s2rth, that link is wrong..the repositories seem fine
[07:59] <therealnanotube> lokadin: n2diy, yea, no google resultso :)
[07:59] <YingFan> I have no QT environment variables at the moment and have both qt3 and 4 installed. How do I change default Qt from 3 to 4?
[07:59] <lokadin> can google "we with you are gods"  few results there too
[07:59] <n2diy> lokadin: roger all that, gfy, go for your...?
[08:00] <dfewr> shasha
[08:00] <therealnanotube> is anyone here a super-expert on mediawiki? or at least halfway so?
[08:00] <therealnanotube> n2diy: i was gonna guess it starts with "go fsck your..." :)
[08:00] <n2diy> therealnanotube: Experts don't hang out here, they have to go to work tomorrow!
[08:01] <Avielus> work? :O
[08:01] <s2rth> lns, could u give me the correct repository for compiz
[08:01] <lns> s2rth, apt-cache search compiz
[08:01] <therealnanotube> n2diy: haha apparently so... i just found out the same's true on the mediawiki channel, unfortunately, so this here's my last resort. :)
[08:01] <lns> if that doesn't work then google for it
[08:02] <n2diy> therealnanotube: Ok and the rest is "and your mom" How juv.
[08:02] <therealnanotube> s2rth: check out the compiz official site: http://www.opencompositing.org/
[08:02] <phenom> Experts? Ohh those guys that leave the military, and get the good tech jobs just because their cleared? Ehh those experts.
[08:02] <s2rth> no i'm getting ok
[08:02] <therealnanotube> n2diy: hehe cute. ;)
[08:03] <Digit9> Successfully burned and booted into Xubuntu 7.04, w00t. Gotta admit I like the live cd on the install cd.
[08:03] <lns> phenom, look at government/military owned networks, and see how much they get h4x0r3d...those experts?
[08:03] <therealnanotube> phenom: heh, well, i was kinda hoping for those experts that know their way around some php. :) no security clearance required.
[08:04] <phenom> One could have written Melissa, sub7, but hes not qualified as a Forensic Analyst, hes not cleared. :/
[08:04] <phenom> This system is going to fail.
[08:04] <n2diy> I lost my dialup connection, and when I went to re-connect, kppp told me the modem was busy.  I reset the modem, still busy, switched modems, still busy, disconnected the modem, and still busy. Reset the port with minicom, same thing. Did init 1 then init 5, logged out of root, and back in as me, and that fixed it. Ideas?
[08:05] <pHill> i'm an idiot.
[08:05] <phenom> Because people like me are about tired of cleaning their white hat..
[08:05] <PoofDaddy> I just installed a program on Synaptic.  where can i find it now?
[08:05] <therealnanotube> n2diy: idea #1: something weird is going on :)
[08:05] <therealnanotube> PoofDaddy: what program?
[08:05] <Rubin> PoofDaddy, what was it?
[08:05] <n2diy> therealnanotube: I suspect a lock file, but I couldn't find it.
[08:05] <joris_> I have a rather odd feisty problem. Machine with a core2quad cpu with a 2.6.20-16-generic kernel works very fast, altough with only 3.2 out of 8GB of ram. Installing the 2.6.20-16-server kernel halves disk IO speed (measurably) and subjectively decimates CPU performance... I'm at a complete loss
[08:05] <PoofDaddy> therealnanotube Rubin:GNU R package for financial engineering -- fOptions
[08:05] <therealnanotube> pHill: ehrm, well... remind me to avoid you, then. :)
[08:05] <Digit9> Quick question about Xubuntu. Can you run KDE and Gnome apps as well? Or just Xfce?
[08:06] <pawan> any good webcam software
[08:06] <bluesmoon> does anyone use network manager applet with the gnome-keyring-daemon on feisty?  I see a complete screen lockup if the keyring daemon window pops up for a passphrase while the nm-applet is open
[08:06] <Rubin> PoofDaddy, its not in the applications menu somewhere? (i'm not familiar with it)
[08:06] <dystopianray> Digit9: you can run any application on any ubuntu version
[08:06] <therealnanotube> PoofDaddy: that's a package for the R software, so i suspect if you start R, and then load the library foptions with "library(foptions)", you'll get at it.
[08:06] <Flannel> pawan: what do you want to do with said webcam?
[08:06] <alieas> Hi, I've upgraded my kernel to 2.6.22-9 from feisty.  before that I removed nvidia-glx.  since then I compiling NVIDIA's .sh, but X will not start.  Can someone advise on how to remove all currently installed nVidia modules?
[08:06] <Digit9> Ah, so the different Ubuntu types are just for the interface?
[08:07] <pawan> i want to test my webcam
[08:07] <n2diy> joris_: you might have better luck in #Ubuntu-kernel?
[08:07] <dystopianray> Digit9: that's right
[08:07] <Digit9> Alrighty, thanks
[08:07] <Flannel> pawan: try ekiga, it's already intsalled.  That'll let you know if it works by default or not
[08:07] <Digit9> Installing Xubutnu as we speak
[08:07] <psykidellic> hi...is there anyway to find if the USB port in the machine 2.0 or 1.x? I got this 2yr old machine from my dept. so I wnated to know.
[08:07] <n2diy> psykidellic: lshw?
[08:08] <pawan> how to start ekiga
[08:08] <Rubin> psykidellic, not sure, but try cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
[08:08] <therealnanotube> pawan: applications>internet>ekiga
[08:08] <dystopianray> psykidellic: grep lspci for EHCI
[08:08] <seanj> how do you change what x-window-manager is ?
[08:08] <Rubin> ooh didnt know about lshw, neat
[08:08] <joris_> n2diy: hmm, good hint :)
[08:08] <psykidellic> n2diy, Rubin dystopianray okie. Will check
[08:09] <n2diy> Rubin: :)
[08:09] <n2diy> joris_: :)
[08:09] <Rubin> seanj, if you use gdm theres an option to select it before you login. otherwise, it depends on your xsession and maybe on the alternatives system (man update-alternatives)
[08:09] <pawan> ekiga softphone
[08:09] <therealnanotube> psykidellic: try "lshw |grep -i usb2" and see if anything comes up. if so, then probably it's usb2
[08:09] <shasha> hiiiiiiiiiiiii
[08:09] <seanj> ok Rubin thanks!
[08:10] <seanj> it's still GDM so that'll be easy :)
[08:10] <Flannel> pawan: yeah.  You'll be able to see what your webcam sees, even without connecting to anything/one
[08:10] <seanj> I installed IceWM so I had something tiny while running games to make them work better
[08:10] <seanj> I love Ubuntu!
[08:11] <Digit9> Another question, what's the package popularity contest?
[08:11] <Digit9> :D
[08:11] <Flannel> seanj: you know you don't really need a WM to play a game, if you're that worried about it.  Just launch the game directly to the X server
[08:11] <seanj> Flannel: how do I do that?
[08:11] <pawan> but the webcam image quality is poor
[08:12] <Flannel> seanj: you'd start X (well, after closing your current one, if you wanted it closed) and then start the program in that X server.  and it'd run.
[08:12] <T-Connect> Is there away  to Triple Buffer my 5:4 for smoother screen? I'm using ATI graphics card.
[08:12] <PoofDaddy> therealnanotube: so it's just the package, not the program.  It's useless without the software then.
[08:12] <seanj> okay kool, thanks Flannel :)
[08:12] <missingxtension> can someone help me add ofbiz to /etc/init.d/ofbiz i already have the script
[08:13] <therealnanotube> PoofDaddy: yes, indeed. i'm surprised that synaptic didn't list R as a dependency...
[08:13] <Digit9> Can anyone tell me what the package popularity contest is?
[08:13] <PoofDaddy> therealnanotube: ok
[08:13] <therealnanotube> PoofDaddy: you can install R, as well, you know. it's in the repositories
[08:14] <TiG4> ** Anyone know of a decent Usenet reader, that supports easy media file downloads? **
[08:15] <Digit9> Uhh, I'm having trouble with the install of Xubuntu. It won't partition my drive. Says I don't have the permission to mount.
[08:15] <TiG4> Digit9, did you boot from the disk?
[08:15] <Digit9> Yessir
[08:15] <astro76> missingxtension, 'update-rc.d ofbiz defaults', would do it, but you should man update-rc.d for more options, there's a bunch of examples too
[08:15] <TiG4> Digit9, at what step did it tell you this?
[08:16] <Digit9> 1 sec
[08:16] <benanzo> Google Reader is good, I think Liferea does usenet.  I really like it
[08:16] <Digit9> 7/7 I assume
[08:16] <PoofDaddy> therealnanotube: that stuff's not my cup of tea anyway.  I was just shoeing my bro.  I used synaptic to completely remove it.  Does that also get rid of all the dependencies?
[08:16] <TiG4> benanzo, Google Reader is online, I can't download binaries using it :/
[08:16] <TiG4> Digit9, is the drive your primary or slave?
[08:16] <Digit9> I'm at step 7/7, and the next step is "Install"
[08:16] <Rubin> Digit9, do you have a flash drive in there?
[08:16] <missingxtension> astro: thank you let me try that, i have read about chkconfig too but its not for ubuntu
[08:16] <Digit9> I click install
[08:17] <Digit9> Hmm, 1 sec
[08:17] <lokadin> Rubin: worked with dpkg -r --force-depends
[08:17] <therealnanotube> PoofDaddy: i don't think synaptic removes the dependencies... just the package. check your install history, it would show everything that was installed with foptions - then see if those are still installed.
[08:17] <Digit9> "Failed to create a file system"
[08:17] <Rubin> lokadin, yay
[08:17] <lokadin> :D
[08:17] <Digit9> "The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,1,0) (sda) failed."
[08:18] <Rubin> Digit9, could be any number of problems accessing your hard disk. maybe the scsi drivers arnt working. you could try the alternate install cd
[08:18] <Digit9> I clicked ok and it sent me back to 4/7 which sets up the disks
[08:18] <PoofDaddy> therealnanotube: how do i check the install history on synaptic?
[08:18] <Digit9> Alternate install? I only had 1 disk heh
[08:18] <Rubin> digit9: theres another disk for special hardware situations
[08:18] <Corpsenator> hi everyone
[08:18] <n2diy> PoofDaddy: your log files?
[08:19] <Digit9> My hardware isn't special, you take that back!
[08:19] <Rubin> :)
[08:19] <missingxtension> ASTRO76: I should be able to /etc/init.d/ofbiz restart but it i get a sudo: unable to execute /etc/init.d/ofbiz: No such file or directory
[08:19] <missingxtension> i know its there i see it
[08:19] <Rubin> is it ofbiz or ofbiz.sh ?
[08:19] <PoofDaddy> n2diy: where do I find them?
[08:19] <therealnanotube> PoofDaddy: file > history
[08:19] <Rubin> missingxtension, is it executable?
[08:19] <Digit9> I don't seem to see why there is a prob. 5.10 install fine on it. Plus I'm just trying to erase the whole disk
[08:19] <n2diy> PoofDaddy: /var/log(s)
[08:20] <Rubin> Digit9, did you try a manual partition option?
[08:20] <Digit9> I clicked it right now. How should I partition it?
[08:20] <Rubin> heh
[08:20] <missingxtension> yes it is 700 and its actually not an sh dang let me change the it
[08:20] <Digit9> :P
[08:21] <Rubin> digip1mp, if nothing else, you need a swap partition and a root partition
[08:21] <Rubin> digit9 rather
[08:21] <Digit9> Lol
[08:21] <Digit9> I'll manually delete them and try over, 1 sec
[08:21] <Rubin> the art and science of unix disk partition schemes is more than can be conveyed on IRC :)
[08:21] <n2diy> Digit9: Do yourself a favor, and create a /home partition too.
[08:22] <Digit9> What size?
[08:22] <PoofDaddy> therealnanotube: i see the history, but do I have to remove each dependency manually?
[08:22] <Rubin> make swap about 512 megs maybe
[08:22] <Rubin> make / 10 or 20 gigs
[08:22] <Rubin> the rest in /home
[08:22] <n2diy> Digit9: Whatever you need for yourself and your friends.
[08:22] <Digit9> At the moment I have a ext3 partition with 19,518mb and a swap with 896mb
[08:23] <Digit9> It had 5.10 on it
[08:23] <Rubin> oh, small hard drive
[08:23] <socialist> am I correct in assuming (based on what it says here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto) that one has to actually write C code to customize a usplash screen aside from just the background image?
[08:23] <Digit9> 20gb drive
[08:23] <Rubin> i'd stick with what you got
[08:23] <Digit9> I can't though
[08:23] <Digit9> Won't let me
[08:23] <Digit9> Lol
[08:23] <Rubin> later you can get a nice new big drive and mount it as /home
[08:23] <Rubin> Digit9, delete those and create new ones just like them :)
[08:23] <n2diy> Digit9: The idea behind a /home partition is, all your stuff will be there, and you can move when you need too.
[08:23] <Digit9> I have two 500gb drives for just media and whatnot on a windows server. No need for alot of space on mine\
[08:24] <Rubin> you could split the 20 gig into / and /home
[08:24] <Rubin> 10 yeach
[08:24] <therealnanotube> PoofDaddy: well, not quite manually... see this ubuntuforums thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=140920
[08:24] <Digit9> What do they do?
[08:24] <Rubin>  / is where everything is..
[08:24] <Digit9> / is for the op system, and home is for my files?
[08:24] <Rubin> home is where your login home directories are
[08:24] <socialist> does anyone know anything about usplash?
[08:24] <Rubin> for settings and configs and documents etc
[08:24] <Digit9> Ah
[08:25] <seanj> mine is /home/seanj
[08:25] <seanj> :D
[08:25] <TBZ> is there a program that will let me setup custom hotkeys from devices? as in capture hardware input and convert to a hotkey?
[08:25] <Digit9> Ok, so. First is first. We do the / partition right?
[08:25] <Rubin>  /boot is where the kernel goes, /var is for frequently changed things like temp and databases and lock files.
[08:25] <pawan_> any good webcam software
[08:26] <socialist> http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html
[08:26] <n2diy> seanj: is that a physical partition, or logical? You need a physical partition to benefit.
[08:26] <seanj> sorry n2diy, I have just one big / partition
[08:26] <seanj> I thought he meant directories, not partitions
[08:26] <Digit9> So, / should be ext3 with 10gb
[08:27] <n2diy> seanj: Roger that, ideally you should have / and /home.
[08:27] <Digit9> /home with ext3 and 9gb
[08:27] <Digit9> and /swap with 1gb and what?
[08:27] <seanj> damn... I guess I'd have to re-install everything to do that..
[08:27] <Digit9> swap file system
[08:28] <Rubin> seanj: not necessarily...
[08:28] <Rubin> Digit9, swap is what is used if you run out of ram. 512 should be plenty
[08:28] <n2diy> seanj: Some day you will re-install, it will be painful the next time, but once you have /home, it will be a lot easier, so they say.
[08:28] <Rubin> if your swapping out a gig of ram your system will be unusable anyway :)
[08:28] <Digit9> 384 is how much ram I have. So yea, lol
[08:28] <seanj> okay :)
[08:29] <Rubin> Digit9, i have heard people suggest using a swap partition that matches your ram size
[08:29] <seanj> I'll just stick with my current setup for now then
[08:29] <Rubin> seanj, you could resize your / partition and make a new one for /home. but its a lot of work
[08:29] <Digit9> So, I should just try 384?
[08:29] <seanj> ugh
[08:29] <Rubin> Digit9, sure :)
[08:29] <Digit9> I can keep open space to upgrade it to 512 in the future right?
[08:29] <seanj> so far just one big / seems to work fine
[08:30] <n2diy> seanj: comb the streets, gather hardware, and build a test box, that you can play on/with.
[08:30] <Rubin> Digit9, if your going to leave open space you mid-as-well just use it for swap
[08:30] <Digit9> True
[08:30] <seanj> I used FreeBSD a few times and it auto-made all the partitions
[08:30] <seanj> so I just followed the same routine in Ubuntu installation
[08:30] <pawan1> hi
[08:30] <Rubin> seanj, its perfectly acceptable for a new user
[08:30] <pawan1> hello
[08:30] <seanj> ok Rubin, that's good news :)
[08:30] <pawan1> any good webcam software
[08:30] <wolfwalker> This is bugging the A(*&%)*(^$*)()*_($ out of me
[08:31] <seanj> I could handle waiting a while before doing it all over again
[08:31] <n2diy> ! hello | pawan
[08:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hello - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:31] <seanj> I spent hours getting some games working, and now everything is perfect
[08:31] <n2diy> ?
[08:31] <wolfwalker> How do I identify and install drivers for my sound card and mouse touchpad?
[08:31] <T-Connect> I have cleaning up all those leftovers that didn't get uninstall. XD
[08:31] <Rubin> wolfwalker, most of that stuff should work out of the box in a recent ubuntu.. if not you have a lot of learning and work
[08:32] <pawan1> !hello
[08:32] <dystopianray> wolfwalker: your soundcard doesn't work?
[08:32] <wolfwalker> Nope
[08:32] <T-Connect> Some uninstallers are broken.
[08:32] <n2diy> wolfwalker: Identify what sound card and touchpad is the first step.
[08:32] <wolfwalker> But a usb stick soundcard does, so all is not lost
[08:32] <dystopianray> wolfwalker: what card do you have?
[08:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hello - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:32] <wolfwalker> And I could just put duct tape over the mouse touchpad
[08:32] <Digit9> Should any of these partitions be "logical"
[08:32] <wolfwalker> How do I find out what card I have?
[08:32] <dystopianray> wolfwalker: lspci
[08:32] <Rubin> Digit9, you can only have 4 primary partitions. logical ones are for helping you get past that limit
[08:33] <Digit9> Ah
[08:33] <wolfwalker> dystopianray,  bless you :P
[08:33] <wolfwalker> What is lspci?
[08:33] <n2diy> wolfwalker: lshw
[08:33] <Digit9> Okie, lets see if this works
[08:33] <dystopianray> wolfwalker: run it in a terminal and it'll tell you all the pci devices in your system
[08:33] <Rubin> ls means list. pci is the card bus in your computer where things like soundcards are located physically
[08:34] <wolfwalker> Oh neat!
[08:34] <T-Connect> Besure have 518kb for swap. There isn't no 512kb for swap.
[08:34] <wolfwalker> In the terminal, right?
[08:34] <seanj> damn, dead links for UT on GNU/Linux :(
[08:34] <dystopianray> wolfwalker: yes
[08:34] <Digit9> 912mb of swap
[08:34] <wolfwalker>  ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)
[08:34] <seanj> I got the original Unreal working in Cedega, though
[08:34] <Rubin> T-Connect, meg you mean?
[08:34] <T-Connect> Oh that.
[08:34] <Digit9> The following partitions are going to be formatted:
[08:34] <Digit9>  partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,1,0) (sda) as ext3
[08:34] <Digit9>  partition #3 of SCSI1 (0,1,0) (sda) as swap
[08:34] <Digit9>  partition #2 of SCSI1 (0,1,0) (sda) as ext3
[08:34] <Digit9> Oops
[08:34] <T-Connect> I thought it is kb.
[08:34] <T-Connect> XD
[08:34] <Digit9> No, mb
[08:35] <Digit9> As far as I know
[08:35] <Rubin> yeah meg :)
[08:35] <T-Connect> You just need 1 ex3.
[08:35] <Digit9> Well, I have two damnit
[08:35] <T-Connect> Oh wait. I wrong.
[08:35] <Rubin> T-Connect, thats true but more is better
[08:35] <Digit9> One is / and one is /home
[08:36] <Digit9> Grr, and that didn't work either
[08:36] <T-Connect> I only have ex3 and swap.
[08:36] <Rubin> Digit9, try alt cd
[08:36] <Oompa> Is there any good dual boot guide? I have a friend wanting to install Ubuntu, but I don't feel like walking him through it
[08:36] <wolfwalker> lol

[08:37] <Digit9> !singleboot
[08:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about singleboot - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:37] <Digit9> Darn
[08:37] <wolfwalker> My my, but I DO love that bot!
[08:37] <wolfwalker> !botsnack
[08:37] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[08:37] <Oompa> hah
[08:37] <Digit9> !uniboot
[08:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about uniboot - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:37] <T-Connect> I like to keep my ex3 in whole instead of parts.
[08:37] <Avielus> what do I do with a .run file?
[08:37] <n2diy> wolfwalker: walker is quick!
[08:37] <Oompa> run it :o
[08:37] <Digit9> Into the wall
[08:37] <Avielus> eh?
[08:37] <wolfwalker> I'm what?
[08:37] <T-Connect> XD
[08:37] <Rubin> T-Connect, we could have an hour long discussion about why thats not optimal. but it works fine for new users so dont worry about it :)
[08:38] <n2diy> wolfwalker: fast on the keys! :)
[08:38] <Digit9> Grrr
[08:38] <Digit9> This sucks
[08:38] <Digit9> 5.10 didn't have any problems
[08:38] <wolfwalker> wolfwalker is still not finding anything on his soundcard yet, but at least he knows what kind it is now
[08:38] <Rubin> Digit9, any messages on alternate virtual terminals or during boot sequence that might help?
[08:38] <T-Connect> I don't have a problem with just one. =D
[08:39] <Digit9> What?
[08:39] <Digit9> Lol
[08:39] <T-Connect> I know how to cleanup.
[08:39] <Digit9> That went over my head
[08:39] <wolfwalker> !ekiga
[08:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ekiga - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:39] <wolfwalker> Grrr
[08:39] <n2diy> Digit9: what are you trying to upgrade to, did you follow the "path"?
[08:39] <Rubin> Digit9, virtual terminals are alternate text screens in linux. alt-f1 through alt-f9
[08:39] <Rubin> Digit9, in x, you have to use control-alt-f1 etc
[08:39] <TBZ> is there a program that will listen to a hardware input device, and map straight from hardware input, to a hotkey?
[08:39] <Digit9> Not upgrading, trying a complete install of Xubuntu 7.04 I beleive. It booted into the live cd looking enviroment and I clicked "Install"
[08:40] <Rubin> Digit9, the installer uses some of them to display information about whats going on to help debug
[08:40] <Avielus> okay, when I try to run my .run, I get a "gedit has not been able to detect the character coding" error msg.
[08:40] <TBZ> reason I'm asking, is because I have a mouse with 6 buttons, which only 3 work...as well as more keys on keyboard than standard
[08:40] <T-Connect> I found out on how to use new flash screen. This will help. >>> sudo aptitude install gnome-splashscreen-manager
[08:41] <Rubin> tbz: try googling your mouse model and linux, maybe someone before you got the buttons to work
[08:41] <n2diy> Avielus, what is a .run program?
[08:41] <T-Connect> I love Ubuntu in black and orange.
[08:41] <n2diy> Avielus, what is a .run program?
[08:42] <Digit9> Well um, I dunno wtf that was, but it kicked me out
[08:42] <Digit9> Lol
[08:42] <Avielus> I think it's an installer
[08:42] <T-Connect> Try any other Ubuntu out?
[08:42] <PoofDaddy> How do I do a screenshot of a single window?
[08:42] <T-Connect> Clones?
[08:42] <Digit9> Ok, so what do I need to do?
[08:42] <Digit9> Ctrl-Alt-What?
[08:43] <n2diy> Avielus, I don't think so, were did you get it from?
[08:43] <Rubin> digit9: Digit9 do the install. when it fails, hit alt-f1 alt-f2 etc and look if theres any messages on one of them
[08:43] <Rubin> the installer is on alt-f1
[08:43] <Rubin> or alt-f7 depending..
[08:43] <T-Connect> Ctrl+Alt+backspace/
[08:43] <Avielus> I dl'd Tremulous, from tremulous.net. Never tried it on linux before.
[08:43] <kazim59> I want to setup file sharing between my feisty & windows pc... i've installed samba... now?
[08:43] <Avielus> I've seen .run files before, but I never know what to do with them
[08:43] <Digit9> Hmm, the installer isn't coming up
[08:43] <Rubin> !samba | kazim59
[08:43] <ubotu> kazim59: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[08:43] <nasso_> does anyone know if there is any terminal application that i can use for monitoring my total upload/download speeds?
[08:44] <drgeb> Hi, whats a good program for a calendar in Ubuntu? I am using Thuderbird for email.
[08:44] <Rubin> nasso_, iftop is neat
[08:44] <T-Connect> Trying a beta out Digit9?
[08:44] <n2diy> Avielus, Roger that, I've never seen a .run file, good luck.
[08:44] <Rubin> drgeb, google calendar :)
[08:44] <T-Connect> Dont use beta.
[08:44] <Avielus> eh, thanks anyways.
[08:44] <Digit9> No, trying to install the damn thing for good
[08:44] <Digit9> Heh
[08:44] <Avielus> experience with .run, anybody? :P
[08:45] <T-Connect> Where did you get it from?
[08:45] <Digit9> I was using 5.10 because it was the only install CD I had. But it's unsupported so I downloading Xubuntu 7.04
[08:45] <Digit9> downloaded*
[08:45] <Rubin> Digit9, try the alternate CD :)
[08:45] <Digit9> I don't wanna!
[08:45] <Digit9> Gonna try the alt-f crap
[08:45] <Rubin> also
[08:46] <Rubin> try googling for your scsi controler and ubuntu. maybe theres a boot flag that helps
[08:46] <T-Connect> http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/feisty/release/
[08:46] <kazim59> Rubin: that documentation refers to fields in smb.conf that are really not there... and some are there with a different name
[08:46] <T-Connect> Try those.
[08:46] <n2diy> Digiit9, did you burn the 7.04 cd and try to install from that?
[08:46] <Digit9> That's what I have t-connect
[08:46] <Avielus> T-Connect, was the "Where did you get it from" for me?
[08:46] <Rubin> kazim59, unfortunately configuring smb.conf is complex..  the ones that arnt there you can create
[08:47] <monk> how do i get ntfs-3g work, i have installed ntfs-3g, ntfs-config.... and ran ntfs-config, and choosed "enable write on internal device" but still i cannot create folder in ntfs drive, help plz. ? :)
[08:47] <nasso_> Rubin: oh! that is it! didnt remember the name. thanks
[08:47] <Digit9> I have the fesity xubuntu release. It's burned to a disk and that's what I am currently using
[08:47] <Digit9> feisty**
[08:47] <T-Connect> Ok you have a Intel or AMD computer?
[08:47] <Digit9> Intel
[08:47] <pawan1> hello
[08:47] <Rubin> Digit9, the alternate CD is on that page too :-)
[08:47] <Digit9> >.<
[08:47] <kazim59> Rubin: both pc's (ubuntu & XP) are showing each other pc's name in the Network Places... but neither is able to open
[08:48] <kazim59> do I have to be a samba server?
[08:48] <monk> has someone read ma post above... help please
[08:48] <Rubin> kazim59, sorry, i havnt done it in a really long time. maybe someone else has more experience
[08:48] <T-Connect> Redo try.
[08:48] <maxxism> omg.  I love ubuntu on my new 1080p 42".
[08:48] <Digit9> I hate xubuntu on my 15" vga
[08:48] <Rubin> lol
[08:48] <maxxism> just thought i would share that
[08:48] <T-Connect> Sound like something is corrapted.
[08:48] <faileas> monk: was the NTFS drive dismounted cleanly?
[08:49] <monk> faileas, i dont know
[08:49] <faileas> monk: dualboot?
[08:49] <monk> faileas, all my partitions r automatically mounted when i boot into ubuntu.
[08:49] <monk> faileas, triple boot
[08:49] <seanj> how do I add directories to the "Places" in Nautilus?
[08:49] <faileas> monk: I  mean from windows
[08:49] <Digit9> Hey, what's the command to format a drive?
[08:50] <faileas> monk: boot into windows. restart, see if it mounts
[08:50] <Digit9> I'll try to format it manually, then use the partitioner in the installer
[08:50] <Digit9> See if that works
[08:50] <seanj> Digit9: mkfs.ext3
[08:50] <monk> faileas, no i'm not running ubuntu in virtualisation,
[08:50] <Digit9> The drive shows up, I can navigate the files and whatnot
[08:51] <seanj> Digit9: or hit mkfs.<tab> to see the different file systems you can create
[08:51] <seanj> I always use ext3 for some reason
[08:51] <faileas> monk: no, boot into windows, and restart to make sure the drive is 'clean'
[08:51] <wolfwalker> Okay, how do I update the kernel?  Forum topic says my problem with my soundcard was fixed in the latest kernel update.
[08:51] <Rubin> seanj: ooh i just saw something about that earlier tonight... /usr/share/gnome-something
[08:51] <monk> faileas, brb
[08:51] <seanj> hm k... hope you can remember.. I could just make a shortcut on the desktop but it looks so clean right now :)
[08:52] <Digit9> Starting the terminal shuts down my screen
[08:52] <Digit9> Lol
[08:52] <Digit9> Kicks me out to the login screen
[08:52] <maxxism> seanj: in nautilus you bookmark folders.  ctrl-d   and it adds them to places
[08:52] <Rubin> seanj: or http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2006/08/31/how-to-add-folder-locations-to-the-places-menu/
[08:52] <seanj> maxxism: great thanks!
[08:52] <T-Connect> seanj tell him again.
[08:52] <Rubin> Digit9, you mean alt-fx ?
[08:52] <seanj> T-Connect: tell who what? lol
[08:52] <Digit9> No, clicking "Applications - Accessories - Terminal"
[08:52] <Digit9> =P
[08:52] <T-Connect> Digit9
[08:52] <Rubin> digit9: eek. thats weird..
[08:53] <seanj> oh okay
[08:53] <kazim59> just tell me one thing... do I have to turn on WINS server on ubuntu?
[08:53] <seanj> Digit9: you can make ext3 filesystems with the command mkfs.ext3
[08:53] <Rubin> kazim59, no
[08:53] <Digit9> No I can't
[08:53] <seanj> :(
[08:53] <Digit9> My terminal kicks me out to the logins creen
[08:53] <Digit9> Lol
[08:53] <PoofDaddy> I'm running Edgy.  I heard it's pretty buggy is that true?  It seems to me to be true.
[08:53] <seanj> ouch... never heard of that before
[08:54] <Rubin> PoofDaddy, its less buggy than any linux i have ever seen..
[08:54] <kazim59> Rubin: when I connect from Windows to the Ubuntu pc... it asks for username & password.. though it does not accept any username & password
[08:54] <seanj> if you hit ALT+CTRL+F1 you can go to a terminal screen, do your thing, then ALT+F7 to go back to X
[08:54] <T-Connect> Try Ubuntu for a test Digit9. If that works then something is wrong with the other one.
[08:54] <Rubin> kazim59, did you make a samba password ?
[08:54] <PoofDaddy> Rubin: Do you suggest that I upgrade to Feisty?
[08:54] <Lappy> how do I increase the number of desktops?
[08:54] <Beta-guy> hi I install Linux on my PS3 but I'm facing an issue, any time I have a disc in the drive eventually the drive ejects it without me giving the command to do so, how can I resolve this issue?
[08:54] <Rubin> PoofDaddy, you have to evaluate that for yourself. i can only say i like it
[08:54] <maxxism> PoofDaddy yes
[08:55] <T-Connect> Linux on PS3? XD
[08:55] <maxxism> PoofDaddy.  best to stay current.
[08:55] <Beta-guy> yep
[08:55] <PoofDaddy> Rubin maxxism: what is involved with the upgrade?  Do I need to back up my data or preferences?
[08:55] <maxxism> I have been running ubuntu on my ps3.  till it died yesterday
[08:55] <kazim59> Rubin: no
[08:55] <rbraley> Poofdaddy I have had some problems doing a dist-upgrade from edgy to feisty
[08:55] <Rubin> PoofDaddy, of course
[08:55] <Beta-guy> maxxism how'd your PS3 die?
[08:56] <PoofDaddy> rbraley: What kinda probs?
[08:56] <maxxism> PoofDaddy i would always backup before a major upgrade
[08:56] <kazim59> Rubin: using smbpasswd command?
[08:56] <maxxism> think it  over heated.
[08:56] <Rubin> everyone in here needs to backup their data and preferences, regardless if they are upgrading or not. its a computer  :)
[08:56] <T-Connect> He put Linux on PS3. That how it die.
[08:56] <Beta-guy> the only other time I heard of a PS3 dying is when some one duct taped the vents
[08:56] <maxxism> Sony is sending me a box to ship it back though.  should be 10 day turn around.
[08:56] <Rubin> kazim59, yep
[08:56] <flash42> Lappy: Adding Workspaces
[08:56] <flash42> To add workspaces to the GNOME Desktop, right-click on the Workspace Switcher applet, then choose Preferences. The Workspace Switcher Preferences dialog is displayed. Use the Number of workspaces spin box to specify the number of workspaces that you require.
[08:56] <PoofDaddy> Rubin maxxism: Is there a link on a forum you could send me?
[08:56] <wolfwalker> Could someone tell me how to update the kernel?  I'm still on the .iso's kernel, and I found out my sound problem is fixed in the next kernel update.
[08:56] <Rubin> !upgrading
[08:56] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[08:57] <Lappy> flash42, it's not hte same... I cant use compiz to (rotate) from a workspace to another workspace.
[08:57] <wolfwalker> Danka
[08:57] <Rubin> wolfwalker, the next fiesty kernel, or the kernel in the next version of ubuntu?
[08:57] <TBZ> !compile
[08:57] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[08:57] <maxxism> yeah i was surprised too.   PS3's are usually good.
[08:57] <Beta-guy> is there a easy way to upgrade the kernel?
[08:57] <TBZ> !make
[08:57] <kazim59> Rubin: smbpasswd made it work! Thanks!
[08:57] <wolfwalker> The next feisty kernel
[08:57] <Rubin> Beta-guy, if the one you want to upgrade to is in the package manager, then yes
[08:57] <Lappy> flash42, desktop effects work in 1 workspace, so Iwant 4 desktops/workspace.
[08:57] <PoofDaddy> Rubin maxxism: I notice that when i run updates there is a notice of a new distro release and there is a button called "upgrade".  It can't be that easy.
[08:58] <maxxism> PoofDaddy yes it can
[08:58] <Beta-guy> maxxism: I bought a HDTV to I could expieriance Blu-Ray I love it
[08:58] <Rubin> wolfwalker, run synaptic and do an upgrade
[08:58] <T-Connect> Cool the update will give me a new Ubuntu.
[08:58] <flash42> Lappy: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-get-compiz-cube-to-work-on-multiple-desktop
[08:58] <wolfwalker> t.. what would be the point of that, unless I'm a beta tester?
[08:58] <maxxism> Beta-guy  oh yeah fer sure it is
[08:58] <Lappy> flash42,  thx
[08:58] <wolfwalker> Stupid mouspad
[08:58] <T-Connect> Thanks for that link.
[08:58] <Beta-guy> Rubin: I can upgrade the kernel with the upgrade manager?
[08:58] <Rubin> PoofDaddy, it starts out that easy. that doesn't always work perfectly though.
[08:58] <Rubin> Beta-guy, yeah
[08:59] <zyb>
[08:59] <maxxism> PoofDaddy it worked good for me.
[08:59] <Beta-guy> sweet I think I'll try that tomorrow!
[08:59] <PoofDaddy> Rubin: with my luck and my knowledge, there will be some sort of problem.
[08:59] <kazim59> Rubin: the reason I'm networking the computers is weird though.... My pendrive has got viruses.. so I don't want to connect it to Windows PC.... so...
[08:59] <Rubin> wow i can actually see that zyb
[08:59] <zyb> my amule  don't work
[08:59] <Rubin> kazim59, pen drive? plug it into your linux pc, copy the files off it?
[09:00] <Superkuh> feisty 64bit; I am having issues with DNS not resolving on the aformentioned box and have no idea where to start troubleshooting. It can ping the gateway and do everything fine on the intranet, Is there a config file somewhere I should look at? Maybe just a few keywords to search for?
[09:00] <Rubin> kazim59, wipe it, copy the files back..
[09:00] <kazim59> Rubin: I've to transfer the files from pendrive to windows box
[09:00] <maxxism> Kazim59 then run ubuntu live on the windows machine and check the pen drive that way
[09:00] <kazim59> maxxism: wow! I didn't think about it
[09:00] <wolfwalker> I'm not fiiiiiinding it............
[09:00] <Rubin> Superkuh, dns is configured in /etc/resolv.conf which is often overwritten by DHCP
[09:00] <maxxism> ubuntu live cd can be a good forensic tool also
[09:01] <rly> is there anyone who may help me with skype settings?
[09:01] <wolfwalker> !kernel update
[09:01] <rly> I'm not being able of talking there
[09:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel update - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:01] <wolfwalker> ...............
[09:01] <wolfwalker> !kernel
[09:01] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild

[09:02] <zombie_monkey> can I have / on a primary one and swap, /home etc on logical ones?
[09:02] <zombie_monkey> partitions
[09:02] <kazim59> maxxism: i use live cd for two purposes... installing ubuntu... and restoring grub
[09:02] <somedrew> zombie_monkey, yup. You can even have / on a logical
[09:02] <Rubin> zombie_monkey, you can.. but using logical ones for home doesnt make much sense because its hard to keep them easily on a new install. best to use primary for it and logic for others
[09:02] <maxxism> and now for checking pen drives
[09:02] <Superkuh> Rubin: That did it, thanks! I recently moved (a few hours ago) and the DNS/gateway was different.
[09:02] <Lappy> flash42, it worked... thanks
[09:02] <flash42> Lappy: np
[09:02] <magick> I'm having some really odd problems. I just installed ubuntu 7.04 and while doing a system update it kernel paniced, and now when i try to do apt-get update, it hung. Any ideas? This is a fresh install.
[09:03] <Rubin> Superkuh, cheers :)
[09:03] <pai> hi. how do i restore the default panels on ubuntu feisty?
[09:03] <kazim59> maxxism: yes!
[09:03] <somedrew> Rubin, just wondering...why is it harder to keep /home on a logical?
[09:03] <Rubin> magick, it doesnt like your hardware
[09:03] <TBZ> You can always "install" ubuntu on top of windows with VMware...I don't know if it would sandbox virus though for sure
[09:03] <magick> Rubin, is there a way to narrow down which piece it doesn't like?
[09:03] <Rubin> somedrew, because logical is a hack.   basically the way logical works, you use one primary to create space for more 'logical' ones. so you have to keep track of that
[09:03] <wolfwalker> Okay, I'm in synaptic.  How do I get it to check for an updated kernel?
[09:03] <pai> hi. how do i restore the default panels on ubuntu feisty?
[09:04] <Lappy> anyone worked with Sony Vaios and Ubuntu before?
[09:04] <Rubin> magick, hmm. check logs maybe.. trial and error
[09:04] <zombie_monkey> I just bought this laptop with vista and it needs a 1.5gb in the first partition for the restore disks to work, so I'm short on primary partitions, that's why i'm asking
[09:04] <Rubin> magick: google others with your hardware and see if they found something to fix
[09:04] <magick> Rubin, cause right now its a basic setup, dvdrom, 500gb drive, video card and mobo. that's it.
[09:04] <n2diy> wolfwalker: search for linux, kernels are listed under that.
[09:04] <magick> Rubin, thanks i'll try that
[09:04] <vlt> Hello. I got this line in my syslog: "shutdown[1042] : shutting down for system halt". Is it possible to tell what initiated this shutdown?
[09:04] <zombie_monkey> *needs a 1.5gb partition
[09:05] <Rubin> vlt: someone running the command 'shutdown -h now' would do that.
[09:05] <n2diy> vlt: what do the lines above it say, somebody had to start the shutdown.
[09:05] <wolfwalker> Um................
[09:05] <terapicodave> is it possible to do a minimal install with a desktop cd?
[09:05] <somedrew> Rubin, thanks for the info. I find LVM a godsend personally when suffling is needed.
[09:05] <Rubin> terapicodave, no
[09:05] <wolfwalker> Okay............. now what?  I got a whole list of stuff, and no idea what I need.
[09:05] <Rubin> somedrew, yeah
[09:06] <wolfwalker> What's it listed under?
[09:06] <somedrew> terapicodave, you'll need the 'alternate' CD for that (or a server one)
