[06:12] <bulmer> epzilo1: both of you type this  iwlist ath0 scan  and tell me if it detects any AP
[06:13] <prakriti> iwlist ath0 scanning
[06:13] <prakriti> is scan short for scanning?
[06:13] <bulmer> yes
[06:13] <epzilo1> bulmer: AP?
[06:13] <Zenexer> bulmer: I got all the network SSIDs in the area
[06:13] <bulmer> access point
[06:13] <Zenexer> bulmer: Propper channels and all
[06:14] <epzilo1> bulmer, Zenexer: I see my own wireless network
[06:14] <bulmer> Zenexer so you're okay,
[06:14] <nickrud> progress :)
[06:14] <bulmer> both of you can detect your AP..good sign
[06:14] <xTheGoat121x> Ok, why would gxine crash when I'm running Compiz-Fusion but run fine without CF?
[06:15] <xTheGoat121x> And what can I do to make it work (like it used to) with CF running.
[06:15] <xTheGoat121x> ?
[06:15] <epzilo1> bulmer: how can I find out my network adapters' mac addresses? I need them for the filter later.
[06:15] <bulmer> sorry guys am a bit slow, i cant remember the commands off hand..
[06:15] <psycho_> server ircchat.terra.cl 7000
[06:15] <Zenexer> epzilo1: It's right on that list ;-)
[06:15] <bulmer> epzilo1: as part of that iwlist ath0 scan  i think it displays it
[06:15] <epzilo1> bulmer: no problem, take your time, thank you so much for your patience.
[06:15] <graelb> I keep getting errors when i  try to ./configure, saying C compiler cannot create executables
[06:15] <epzilo1> bulmer, Zenexer: ok, wasn't sure if that was it
[06:15] <sesuda> hi there  ^^
[06:17] <jason0825> hey i just installed Xchat but i don't see a user list
[06:17] <george_> ifconfig shows your mac
[06:17] <jason0825> how do i see one?
[06:17] <jason0825> i'm a noob
[06:17] <xTheGoat121x> epzilon, hey
[06:17] <D4N`> hello
[06:17] <bulmer> epzilo1: i cant remember the command to set the essid you want to connect to,  can you both type iwlist and see if essid is an option that can be set?
[06:17] <dxdt> jason0825: just go through the options, it has one, and I think it is usually on by default.
[06:17] <jason0825> thanks
[06:18] <nexxt> hello i have just reinstalled ubuntu twice and running into the same problem, after i login it just sits there with orangish background
[06:18] <epzilon> xTheGoat121x: uhm... hey?
[06:18] <xTheGoat121x> epzilon, it's dew from before... sorry
[06:18] <Zenexer> bulmer: I believe I already tried that command, and it didn't do anything.
[06:18] <epzilon> bulmer: I'm epzilon again.
[06:18] <Zenexer> bulmer: I think it was... hmm...
[06:18] <epzilon> xTheGoat121x: oh, hello! :)
[06:18] <bulmer> Zenexer: what was the command to set the essid to use?
[06:18] <george_> iwconfig
[06:18] <D4N`> fun
[06:18] <Zenexer> bulmer: Yeah, iwconfig
[06:18] <xTheGoat121x> epzilon, you get your WLAN adaptor working?
[06:19] <nexxt> hello i have just reinstalled ubuntu twice and running into the same problem, after i login it just sits there with orangish background anyone got any ideas?
[06:19] <epzilon> xTheGoat121x: I found another wireless card that seems to work, but doesn't connect
[06:19] <Zenexer> bulmer: It was sudo iwconfig ath0 essid <SSID> key <WEP KEY> or something.
[06:19] <xTheGoat121x> epzilon, weird.
[06:19] <bulmer> Zenexer okay you see your own AP on the list right?  so  iwconfig ath0 essid namehere
[06:19] <Zenexer> bulmer: Executed fine, but no affect.
[06:20] <Zenexer> bulmer: Tried that a couple restarts ago =/
[06:20] <epzilon> bulmer: shall I do that too?
[06:20] <bulmer> Zenexer: i would not enable the WEP first, just to make sure you can connect in the clear first
[06:20] <xTheGoat121x> epzilon, at least you're making progress with your problem.... I've gone about 2 inches with mine :|
[06:20] <Zenexer> bulmer: Only problem was that I had to convert the key to hex, and I might have done that wrong.
[06:20] <Jay> can anyone advice on configuring WEP and WPA via linux?  Specifically via Tomato?
[06:20] <whiskeytango> Hey, how do i change permissions on a folder?  I click apply but when I go back and check its unchanged.
[06:20] <Zenexer> bulmer: In that case, I'm going to have to momentarily disconnect from IRC.
[06:20] <epzilon> xTheGoat121x: well it's hours later and I have no wireless connection...
[06:20] <Zenexer> bulmer: I'm on wireless now.
[06:20] <bulmer> Zenexer thats the problem sometimes, not knowing what the correct key to type in
[06:21] <george_> man chmod
[06:21] <xTheGoat121x> epzilon, good point...
[06:21] <Zenexer> bulmer: Well, I entered in the correct ascii key into more than one GUI...
[06:21] <epzilon> bulmer: I know my key, but I cannot deactivate  it in my settings here for testing...
[06:21] <bulmer> Zenexer: you are already on wireless? so what is the problem?
[06:21] <dfgas>  i messed up my font sizes in the appearence menu, can someone do a screen shot of theirs and send it to me please?
[06:21] <Zenexer> bulmer: Windows laptop.
[06:21] <Zenexer> bulmer: Not the actual Linux pc.
[06:21] <bulmer> Zenexer: same pc? dual booting?
[06:21] <dwf_starband> nickrud: the top of the file doesnt explain alot and the link to Repositories/CommandLine doesnt specificly tell me about this file, am i just backing up my old one and replacing it with this generated one?  or am I adding stuff from the new one to the old one?
[06:22] <whiskeytango> Hey, how do i change permissions on a folder?  I click apply but when I go back and check its unchanged.  It wont let me delete the folder.
[06:22] <Zenexer> bulmer: Well, yes, the Linux PC does use dual booting, but currently I just have two computers next to eachother.
[06:22] <nickrud> dwf_starband: replacing, exactly. let me look at that page, it used to be clear
[06:22] <bulmer> epzilon: you are connected to it via wired, so configure it via its web page
[06:22] <bulmer> Zenexer: do you also have two nics on your ubuntu?
[06:22] <epzilon> bulmer: I cannot deactivate wep in the wireless settings here (for the router I could)
[06:22] <nexxt> hello i have just reinstalled ubuntu twice and running into the same problem, after i login it just sits there with orangish background anyone got any ideas?
[06:23] <Zenexer> bulmer: Eh... well, if by that, you mean one ethernet and one wireless.
[06:23] <bulmer> epzilon: why cant you disable the WEP settings on your nic card?
[06:23] <epzilon> bulmer: I can only choose between WEP-hex and WEP-ascii in these settings.
[06:23] <Zenexer> bulmer: The two OSes are on physically separate HDDs, so I know dual booting isn't the problem.
[06:23] <bulmer> Zenexer: well describe what interfaces you have on your ubuntu
[06:24] <whiskeytango> you guys have ruined my life!  im going to postsecret!
[06:24] <Zenexer> bulmer: One ethernet port and one wireless card.
[06:24] <bulmer> epzilon: how are you selecting those? via gui or web page?
[06:24] <dwf_starband> nickrud: so after i back it up this should do it?  sudo cp /home/dennis/Desktop/default.txt /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:24] <Zenexer> bulmer: If that's what you mean.
[06:24] <graelb> Ok, so whenever i try to configure any program from source, before i can even make it, i get stopped by the error "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"
[06:24] <xTheGoat121x> Does anyone have a clue how to set up xine/VLC so that it cooperates with CF
[06:24] <xTheGoat121x> ?
[06:24] <bulmer> Zenexer yes, is it the same card as the one on windows?
[06:24] <nickrud> dwf_starband: yes. I see what you mean, it doesn't speak directly to copying over the new one you downloaded
[06:24] <Zenexer> bulmer: Yes.
[06:24] <epzilon> bulmer: I might disconnect now, trying to deactivate the WEP
[06:25] <bulmer> epzilon: okay
[06:25] <Shrimpy_> nexxt: does the live cd work decent?
[06:25] <Zenexer> bulmer: I'm going to do the same.
[06:25] <dwf_starband> nickrud: but that is what i should do?
[06:25] <bulmer> Zenexer: those commands iwconfig.. worked on your ubuntu right?
[06:26] <Zenexer> bulmer: They worked, but they didn't do a darn thing... lol
[06:26] <nickrud> dwf_starband: sudo apt-get update will make the new sources active, and then pick up with the howto again
[06:26] <bulmer> yeah okay have both of you disable that wep for now
[06:26] <bulmer> Zenexer when you say they work, what do you mean by that?
[06:26] <dwf_starband> after replacing the file with the new one right?
[06:26] <nickrud> graelb: sudo apt-get install build-essential , that gets you the compiler & some support stuff
[06:26] <Zenexer> bulmer: Didn't print anything to the terminal.
[06:26] <nickrud> dwf_starband: yes
[06:26] <dwf_starband> od
[06:26] <Zenexer> bulmer: Ran clean, no output.
[06:26] <dwf_starband> ok
[06:26] <xTheGoat121x> Ok, well the other question is this.... does anyone know why a laptop would prevent someone from changing users?  Something with the ACPI maybe?
[06:27] <NightBird> if I want to change the mac address of a nic to match the host systems mac address, how would I do that?
[06:27] <bulmer> Zenexer it may not have to respond with anything
[06:27] <Frogzoo> xTheGoat121x: maybe / is mounted ro
[06:27] <bulmer> Zenexer are the two nics connected to the same router?
[06:27] <bulmer> both ehternet and wifi?
[06:27] <xTheGoat121x> Frogzoo, ro?
[06:27] <graelb> Thanks nick!
[06:28] <Frogzoo> xTheGoat121x: read only
[06:28] <Zenexer> bulmer: The ethernet isn't connected to anything. The CAT5e cable running between the computer and the router is now used as a phone line.
[06:28] <Frogzoo> NightBird: ethtool
[06:28] <xTheGoat121x> Frogzoo, how would I go about checking that?
[06:28] <Frogzoo> xTheGoat121x: mount
[06:28] <Zenexer> bulmer: I can separate it from the phone line and use it for LAN, but that would be a pain.
[06:28] <epzilo1> bulmer: WEP is deactivated on the router, but the ath0 interface settings still ask me for a key
[06:28] <graelb> what's libncurses?
[06:29] <Zenexer> bulmer: Reconnecting...
[06:29] <theone> Hi everyone... does anybody know what happened to the getautomatix site?
[06:29] <xTheGoat121x> Frogzoo, all right.  When I get my hands on it next, I will check that out.
[06:29] <bulmer> epzilo1: hang on..let me think..
[06:29] <mssever> !automatix | theone
[06:29] <ubotu> theone: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[06:30] <xTheGoat121x> Frogzoo, that would prevent user switching / logoff ?
[06:30] <bulmer> epzilo1: cat  /etc/network/interfaces  and pastebin it so i can inspect
[06:30] <nexxt> how do i set root password?
[06:31] <epzilo1> bulmer: 1sec
[06:31] <bulmer> sudo passwd
[06:31] <mssever> nexxt: sudo passwd -u root; but why do you need as aroot password? Just use sudo
[06:31] <graelb> ok, that worked
[06:31] <graelb> hehe
[06:31] <nickrud> graelb: its a library used to write to a text terminal
[06:31] <tux78> hi
[06:31] <theone> Thanks for the quick response ubotu
[06:32] <mssever> !ubotu
[06:32] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[06:32] <graelb> now, when you do a ./configure, and it says 'maked dep' to create a depends file, then do you need to install the dependencies, or should the make install do it oncey you've made the dep file?
[06:32] <graelb> ignore my typos
[06:32] <nexxt> msserver still wont let me su root tho
[06:32] <nickrud> graelb: normally you have to satisfy the dependencies manually.   Is there a command in BSD to get device IDs and manufacturer info as there is in Linux? lspci. Is there an equivalent in BSD?
[06:34] <nickrud> dwf_starband: try sudo apt-get install libxvidcore4-dev , then the ffmpeg line
[06:34] <Zenexer> bulmer: 1 sec
[06:34] <dwf_starband> ok
[06:34] <bulmer> epzilo1: let me review
[06:34] <Shrimpy_> graelb: neato, i though it was a mac only thing
[06:34] <cdm10> E-mu: this isn't the right place to ask.
[06:35] <Shrimpy_> graelb: is it command line ran, or gui
[06:35] <Zenexer> bulmer: Ah, forgot to remove the key.
[06:35] <nickrud> dwf_starband: that is a bug, the build dep should have worked
[06:35] <tarelerulz> Do all  bit torrents need to be port forwarded ?  I don't mean all ,but is that normal
[06:35] <bulmer> epzilo1: okay remove the key from that /etc/network/interface  the last line
[06:35] <graelb> i'm not sure, i don't know how to compile it yet
[06:35] <E-mu> I already said it was out of context and if someone new it woudl help me imensly
[06:35] <cdm10> tarelerulz: In order to be able to upload, you need to somehow open ports, whether it be using port-forwarding or uPNP.
[06:35] <nickrud> kismet is in the repos, no need to compile graelb
[06:35] <graelb> i think you have to run it from terminal, but it is quasi-gui
[06:35] <Zenexer> bulemr: Although that shouldn't have been it... you had me connect manually, which bypassed the whole GUI.
[06:35] <graelb> damn!
[06:36] <cdm10> tarelerulz: Most of the time, the download speed goes down if you can't upload.
[06:36] <tonyyarusso> E-mu: If it's off topic, don't say it.
[06:36] <RazzoRz> so that sound issue in vmware .. , how does one get sound if the audio hardware is not there
[06:36] <Shrimpy_> kismet, was easy on the mac. point and click
[06:36] <bulmer> Zenexer: it still uses that file
[06:36] <dwf_starband> nickrud: now I get this,  Note, selecting liba52-0.7.4-dev instead of liba52-dev
[06:36] <dwf_starband> E: Build-dependencies for ffmpeg could not be satisfied.
[06:36] <graelb> ok, for future reference then... how do you know what needs to be installed for dependiences?
[06:36] <Zenexer> bulmer: Well, I removed it, and still nothing. I still have a v6 IP, which can't be right.
[06:37] <nickrud> dwf_starband: try installing what was selected. ffmpeg's build deps seem to be broken
[06:37] <Shrimpy_> graelb: they have GKismet. the gui  app
[06:37] <tonyyarusso> graelb: a) check documentation, b) attempt a compile and read the errors, using apt-file to find the appropriate packages to fix them.
[06:37] <bulmer> Zenexer ip a  and paste the line specifically just for ath0
[06:37] <graelb> Got it
[06:37] <graelb> ok
[06:37] <graelb> lol I need to start researching before i just install things
[06:37] <nickrud> rinse and repeat
[06:38] <nickrud> graelb: try looking in synaptic for what you want before even considering compiling. There's about 8000 apps available, nearly everything you might think of compiling
[06:38] <RazzoRz> does one need to be more specific?
[06:38] <graelb> Shrimpy: Where did you find GKismet?
[06:38] <graelb> Ok. Good to know
[06:38] <tarelerulz> cdm10 , reason I ask Is I have ran utorrent  and I never seemed to need to do anything ,but if I do something like azureus , ktorrent and Rtorrent I seem to need to port forward . I think  Some I don't have any up load and I don't know if it is not good torrent or my router blocking it orsomething
[06:38] <dwf_starband> nickrud:  sorry for my questions, you mean, sudo apt-get install liba52-0.7.4-dev   ?
[06:38] <anson> for reasons that elude me i'm having a heckuva time getting alternatives to allow jar to go in to /usr/bin/jar (complaining that there's no file there... though i thought that was the point, that it would reference another file.... what's the story?
[06:39] <Cristobal> Hi! If someone can help me I have a question: Can I install UBUNTU on an external HD (on USB port) from a computer, and then put that HD with Ubuntu as main (internal) HD of another computer?   - if yes, how?
[06:39] <cdm10> tarelerulz: That's probably because uTorrent is automatically forwarding the ports using uPNP
[06:39] <graelb> I don't always plan on using Ubuntu, so i'm just gathering the info ya know?
[06:39] <nickrud> dwf_starband: yes. Usually the error messages from apt tell you what to do
[06:39] <dwf_starband> ok thanks
[06:39] <nickrud> blasphemy!! (har)
[06:39] <bulmer> Zenexer ip a  and paste the line specifically just for ath0, did it get an ip address?
[06:39] <Zenexer> bulmer: Yeah, typing it by hand
[06:39] <bulmer> oh okay..
[06:40] <Zenexer> bulmer: Although, the IP it gave was actually for ath0:avahi
[06:40] <anson> what's another way to get jar to be properly referenced?
[06:40] <graelb> Also, if i want to find a readme for a particular program installed, say... kismet, where would i look for that readme if i installed it via synaptic?
[06:40] <RazzoRz> WOW, You Don't say,, well i will try that option.. Thanks for all the helpo
[06:40] <RazzoRz> Help**
[06:40] <cdm10> graelb: man kismet
[06:40] <anson> ie i want to make jar available in /usr/bin/jar although it's actually gonna be in /usr/java....
[06:40] <xTheGoat121x> epzilon, I feel your pain
[06:40] <epzilon> bulmer: okay, what do I do now?
[06:40] <Zenexer> bulmer: Well, I take it back, it gave the IPv4 of ath0:avahi, and IPv6 of ath0. The v4 is completely wrong. Never seen it before in my life; definitely not NAT
[06:40] <Cristobal> hi guys! I've a questionm should I post it here?
[06:41] <graelb> dammit! things are so much easier than i want to make them
[06:41] <cdm10> Cristobal: If it's about Ubuntu.
[06:41] <bulmer> epzilon: okay, did it connect to your AP ?
[06:41] <dwf_starband> nickrud: its still saying, E: Build-dependencies for ffmpeg could not be satisfied.
[06:41] <RazzoRz> Good luck Cristobal
[06:41] <Zenexer> bulmer: And I don't know squat about v6, as I've never had a need for it.
[06:41] <tux78> can someone /msg me about samba i can access windows form linux and read n write but i can't see linux on windows or linux with linux
[06:41] <cdm10> graelb: I believe the Ubuntu help application also has all the manpages in it.
[06:41] <Cristobal> yes sure
[06:41] <Cristobal> Can I install UBUNTU on an external HD (on USB port) from a computer, and then put that HD with Ubuntu as main (internal) HD of another computer?   - if yes, how?
[06:41] <epzilon> bulmer: uhm... I think I missed a part there. No, it didn't... oh yes, I should scratch the last line of that file?
[06:41] <graelb> Where's the ubuntu help application on xubuntu?
[06:41] <bulmer> Zenexer: just pastebin it, so I can tell you if its amiss or whatever...
[06:42] <cdm10> Cristobal: You probably could, but the Ubuntu probably won't be configured properly for the other computer.
[06:42] <cdm10> graelb: System>Help or something.
[06:42] <RazzoRz> wow...
[06:42] <cdm10> graelb: but I just use man...
[06:42] <Cristobal> how can I install ubuntu on the external HD?
[06:42] <RazzoRz> he got a responce pretty fast
[06:42] <RazzoRz> Nice
[06:42] <bulmer> epzilon: yes erase the last line of that file, thats the key
[06:42] <RazzoRz> ok let me try this again,
[06:42] <anson> Cristobal, you might consider getting in to vmware... it's pretty rad
[06:42] <tarelerulz> cdm10 , I am lost when it comes to bit torrent . I understand what ports are and I put the ports use in what ever bit torrent I use . Why do bit torrent use rangs rather then one port ?
[06:42] <RazzoRz> HOW does one get sound on VMware?
[06:42] <nickrud> dwf_starband: Then I'm not sure what's causing that. pastebin the whole error, would you?
[06:42] <graelb> hehe yeah, ok. step one, install, step two, man.
[06:42] <graelb> ;-)
[06:42] <cdm10> graelb: If you go into Help and Support, then go to Advanced Topics, then go to Terminal Commands References, you'll see it.
[06:42] <dwf_starband> ok

[06:43] <ones> iam usingvmware server
[06:43] <cdm10> Cristobal: It lets you run other operating systems within your operating system.

[06:44] <Zenexer> Shoot, that didn't work.
[06:44] <epzilon> bulmer: what program shall I use to do that?
[06:44] <Zenexer> ath0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue <line break> link/ether 00:0f:3d:a8:d4:62: brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff <line break> inet <IP_ADDRESS>/16 brd <IP_ADDRESS> scope link ath0:avahi <line break> inet6 fe80::20f:3dff:f3a8:d462/64 scope link <line break><indent> valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
[06:44] <bulmer> epzilon: better yet, save a copy of that file before modifying
[06:44] <cdm10> Cristobal: So, if you want to run Windows within Ubuntu, you can have it running in a window. I don't use VMware, I use something else.
[06:44] <nickrud> BillyBeans: sudo iptables -L will show you if you have a firewall ; sudo iptables -F will flush all the ruls
[06:44] <BillyBeans> i think i put one there
[06:44] <epzilon> bulmer: open office lets me open it but not edit
[06:44] <nickrud> *rules
[06:44] <anson> are you using xen cdm10?
[06:44] <dxdt> BillyBeans: you may simply want to check to make sure your web server software, probably apache, is listening and such.
[06:44] <ones> vmware server is good
[06:44] <cdm10> anson: I'm using VirtualBox.
[06:44] <ones> whats wrong with vmware?
[06:44] <bulmer> Zenexer: okay, i saw it...its not getting the right ip address
[06:44] <dxdt> BillyBeans: ahh then yeah do what nickrud says
[06:44] <anson> how's that going?
[06:44] <Cristobal> so the best is to install ubuntu with booting from the CD
[06:44] <RazzoRz> I need sound In VMware
[06:44] <cdm10> ones: I just had a hard time setting it up.
[06:44] <kotau> Hello channel.  How do I eject my 4 partitions on a USB external drive?  I use the rightclick menu and eject them all at once, but they immediately pop back up, and will not give me even a few seconds to eject them.  Is there a way to eject and halt the drive?
[06:44] <Zenexer> bulmer: Yes, it alwasy got those two IPs, even before it "connected".
[06:44] <RazzoRz> just installed xp pro on it
[06:45] <ones> its hard but works fine, iam using vmware rightnow
[06:45] <bulmer> epzilo1: use vim or nano to edit that file
[06:45] <Zenexer> bulmer: Let me check to see if my router recognizes that it's even on the network.
[06:45] <RazzoRz> ones:
[06:45] <ones> i installed vist onmy vnware :)
[06:45] <JamoSmith> my new ubuntu setup is failing to resolve domains to IP addresses, how can I troubleshoot this? DNS servers are set under Admin->Network->DNS and are the same as on my windows machine
[06:45] <bulmer> Zenexer those are microsoft like ip address.dont use those
[06:45] <anson> i really am amazed by it....
[06:45] <RazzoRz> i just loaded xp on my vmware, and i cant get sound
[06:45] <ones> u installed vmware tools?
[06:45] <anson> i've got a 64 bit box, and that can be a real pain to use, so i've loaded a couple 32 bit distros in vmware... it's fantastic
[06:45] <RazzoRz> yeah
[06:45] <bulmer> Zenexer: this time, use dhclient ath0 to get an ip address
[06:46] <Zenexer> bulmer: What do you mean? And the router does not recognize that it's connected.
[06:46] <ones> hmm
[06:46] <RazzoRz> xp loaded ... everything is fine,,,
[06:46] <RazzoRz> well
[06:46] <bulmer> Zenexer: this time, use dhclient ath0 to get an ip address
[06:46] <Shrimpy_> what would the repo name's of this be? (perl or Gtk module)
[06:46] <RazzoRz> Besides the sound and everything Goes a little too fast
[06:46] <epzilon> bulmer: how do I save a file in vim?
[06:46] <RazzoRz> like playing a dvd...
[06:46] <ones> haha
[06:46] <george_> :wq
[06:46] <anson> seriously though - i can't figure out why my ln / alternatives are letting me reference my jar executable properly... any one?
[06:46] <bulmer> epzilon:  :wq!
[06:46] <RazzoRz> haha nice
[06:46] <RazzoRz> thanks
[06:46] <RazzoRz> lol
[06:46] <dwf_starband> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39932/  sorry, didnt mean to cause problems
[06:47] <Cristobal> Anson: It looks it's much easier to install ubuntu with booting directly from the cd, right? Then ubuntu will get installed on the main HD of the computer. Or at that moment it may be installed on the external HD?
[06:47] <bulmer> anson java uses classpath
[06:47] <JamoSmith> my new ubuntu setup is failing to resolve domains to IP addresses, how can I troubleshoot this? DNS servers are set under Admin->Network->DNS and are the same as on my windows machine
[06:47] <epzilon> bulmer: I'm not allowed to edit the file
[06:47] <Zenexer> bulmer: Whatever it did, I don't think it worked.
[06:47] <nickrud> dwf_starband: this is the place for problems, sometimes they even get solved ;)
[06:47] <bulmer> anson and not PATH
[06:47] <bulmer> epzilon: as root
[06:47] <RazzoRz> ones: how do i fix this issue?
[06:47] <george_> hit alt + f2
[06:47] <anson> thanks bulmer
[06:47] <Kyokuz> anyone understand what this means? after i try to do an apt-get install - E: Package libapache2-mod-fastcgi has no installation candidate
[06:47] <george_> type gksu gedit
[06:47] <bulmer> Zenexer: ip a  again to see the ip address always,
[06:47] <Optimus55> is there a way to get the desktop background to automatically change after a while?
[06:47] <epzilon> bulmer: how do I tell that thing I'm root?
[06:48] <bulmer> !sudo epzilon
[06:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sudo epzilon - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:48] <anson> Cristobal, yes - that's the simplest way to install ubuntu is through the cd...
[06:48] <bulmer> !sudo | epzilon
[06:48] <ubotu> epzilon: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[06:48] <kotau> epzilon: sudo 'command'
[06:48] <nickrud> dwf_starband: put your sources.list up on a pastebin as well
[06:48] <menotu3169> t
[06:48] <kotau> Hello channel.  How do I eject my 4 partitions on a USB external drive?  I use the rightclick menu and eject them all at once, but they immediately pop back up, and will not give me even a few seconds to eject them.  Is there a way to eject and halt the drive?
[06:48] <anson> bulmer -- so why did alternatives work for java and javac?
[06:48] <dwf_starband> ok
[06:48] <Zenexer> bulmer: It tried DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to <IP_ADDRESS> three times, but got no DHCPOFFER responses. ip a returns the same thing.
[06:48] <mssever> kotau: Sorry for disappearing...my internet connection dropped
[06:48] <bulmer> anson: those are not the same thing
[06:49] <kotau> its ok, I'm patient
[06:49] <Zenexer> bulmer: It also said "wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801" twice when I used dhcpclient
[06:49] <Cristobal> anson: when i boot from the cd will i be able to install ubuntu on the external usb HD or will it only be possible on the main HD of the laptop?
[06:49] <bulmer> Zenexer: can you repaste your /etc/network/interfaces file again please
[06:49] <E-mu> Ok this one is On TOpic. I have a New PC HP Desktop a6040n . Its an intel G33 chipset which is similiar to the P35 chipset. it has built in Lan and Built in WIreless. Ubuntu sees neither when I run LSPCI. So I can assume this chipset is not supoorted as of yet in the latest version of Ubuntu even with all updates?
[06:49] <Zenexer> bulmer: New one, or the link to the same old paste?
[06:49] <nickrud> Kyokuz: you probably don't have the multiverse repos enabled
[06:49] <anson> Cristobal, not certain - i've never messed with it tht much
[06:49] <epzilon> bulmer: ok, worked. Trying to connect again (will probably get disconnected)
[06:49] <dwf_starband> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39933/  is the new one, do you want the old one as well?
[06:50] <anson> Cristobal, it'll take about 15 minutes to find out :)
[06:50] <nickrud> dwf_starband: nah, I know what was wrong there
[06:50] <dwf_starband> ok
[06:50] <Cristobal> anson: wow, thanks!
[06:50] <anson> prolly less actually... my last install took less that 10 minutes
[06:50] <bulmer> epzilon dont forget, if you have both your wireless and ethernet connected to same router, your box will get confused as to which gateway it will use
[06:51] <anson> and through vmware.... about 5 minutes
[06:51] <Soskel> what can I use as a dock in ubuntu?
[06:51] <bulmer> Zenexer: new one
[06:51] <nickrud> dwf_starband: but I don't see a darned thing wrong with those. Why the build deps aren't being satisfied is something that should be addressed as a bug. You might find more info on bugs.launchpad.net
[06:51] <kotau> quick vmware question.  Can I use an existing install of xp (on another partition) and run vmware with that?
[06:51] <Kyokuz> nickrud: i uncommented all the sources and added some extras
[06:51] <nomaS> can i protect from DDoS ?
[06:51] <bulmer> kotau: try and see..
[06:51] <nomaS> !ddos
[06:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ddos - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:52] <george_> yes
[06:52] <nickrud> Kyokuz: look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39933/ for a clean set of sources, that would find fastcgi
[06:52] <anson> so why is this guy referencing jar & alternatives? http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/how-to-install-jdk-6-java-se-6-tomcat-in-fedora-core-6-fedora-7-in-5-minutes/

[06:55] <Soskel> c0rrupt0r_: I mean a doc, like on the mac
[06:55] <epzilon> bulmer: there's this checkbox next to the wired and wireless connection in the network settings... I just moved the x from wired to wireless
[06:55] <bulmer> epzilon on network manager applet?
[06:55] <JamoSmith> how can I troubleshoot my network's inability to resolve a domain name into an IP address, really stuck on this one could really use some assistance

[06:56] <bulmer> epzilon dont forget, if you have both your wireless and ethernet connected to same router, your box will get confused as to which gateway it will use
[06:57] <nickrud> Kyokuz: you did apt-get update ?
[06:57] <christian_> :p
[06:57] <JamoSmith> nickrud: thanks, I double checked and they match those that I use on the windows machine I am using now. how else could they fail?
[06:57] <bulmer> epzilon: you need to disable one interface, like so,   ifdown eth0
[06:57] <Kyokuz> nickrud: no, will try again
[06:57] <epzilon> bulmer: first I disconnect the wired (via software) and then try connecting the other... at least that's what I think I'm doing
[06:58] <nickrud> JamoSmith: I had nothing but grief with network manager on feisty, so I think I'm not the one to ask for real help on this, sorry
[06:58] <bulmer> epzilon:  you can physically disconnect the ethernet cable...
[06:58] <bulmer> to ensure
[06:58] <Zambezi> Is it possible to start xkill on remote if you want to be evil? I think it happened to me, but nothing strange in the fw-log though.

[06:59] <`Matir> Soskel, System>Adminstration>Synaptic
[06:59] <Soskel> `Matir: it isn't in the resp
[06:59] <Soskel> `Matir: it's a program I downloaded
[06:59] <nickrud> JamoSmith: I had a really lousy router I had to hook up to at work, I ended up disabling network manager and setting up /etc/network/interfaces as a static ip.
[06:59] <george__> Well, I learned how to use dpkg to downgrade the foobar'd package. Thanks guy for all the help.
[07:00] <prakriti> how do you force the reinstall of a package that you have deleted files from?
[07:00] <Soskel> `Matir: http://njpatel.blogspot.com/2007/10/01-01.html
[07:00] <nickrud> prakriti: sudo apt-get install --reinstall

[07:00] <george__> I have no problems now
[07:00] <prakriti> hahah
[07:01] <prakriti> This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers.
[07:01] <bulmer> Zenexer: remove the wlan0 lines and make sure youdont have the [Note: This is the correct SSID]  removed too
[07:01] <nickrud> prakriti: no, it doesn't need them.  And try,  apt-get moo
[07:01] <Zenexer> bulmer: Ok
[07:01] <r691175002> Can someone help me get my monitors working?  I have no idea what I am doing.
[07:01] <tarelerulz> musikgoat,  Stuff seem to download fast ,but I don't up load well at all most the  time. I don't know if it is the site or I don't have stuff configed right in my network
[07:01] <dwf_starband> nickrud: thanks for your help, im afraid that I dont know enough to be looking through the bug reports, The how-to i was following was just a subpart to another ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=346778) and scrolling down to the end he says that he no longer uses ffmpeg but mencoder instead, do I actually need ffmpeg then?
[07:01] <bulmer> Zenexer then also make sure you only have ath0 connecting to the router, do not connect eth0 so you will only have one gateway
[07:01] <JamoSmith> nickrud: what is a "Search Domain" under DNS of network config
[07:02] <AlanBShepard70> Can anyone help me get my video card to work with feisty? The vid card is an nvidia geforce4 mx440. The computer freezes durring boot. Using dapper I used to get "Kernel panic - Not syncing"

[07:02] <deucalion_> i am having trouble installing vmplayer
[07:02] <nickrud> JamoSmith: umm, I never used one. Never had a problem, so I never really learned ;)
[07:02] <Zenexer> bulmer: Ok
[07:02] <mdmarek> Anyone know how to set GDM's DPI?
[07:02] <Soskel> can anyone help me?!?
[07:02] <nickrud> dwf_starband: why not just install ffmpeg from the repos?
[07:02] <dxm> have a ircop here? in brazilian channel are a user with problems and he make flood
[07:02] <Montaro> nickrud: try aptitude moo ;)
[07:03] <musikgoat> tarelerulz: That is usually because of not seeding.  theres alot of possibilities,  do you change ports?
[07:03] <dxm> now is ok. thank you
[07:03] <nickrud> dwf_starband: I was under the impression you wanted the lastest thing, not just ffmpeg
[07:03] <nickrud> Montaro: yes, but it does have minesweeper :)
[07:03] <Soskel> how can I imstall this? http://njpatel.blogspot.com/2007/10/01-01.html
[07:03] <george_> search domain is handed out by dhcp.  it can be the domain of your lan eg. foo.bar
[07:03] <tarelerulz> musikgoat,  I am trying to get it so I share at the same time I am downloading
[07:04] <dwf_starband> nickrud: I dont know, i was just following instructions, All I want to do is be able to transcode from mythtv to divx or xvid for my handheld
[07:04] <r691175002> can anyone help me get my monitors working?
[07:04] <Zenexer> bulmer: So are you saying I should remove the line that reads "auto etho0" right before the "iface ath0 inet dhcp" line?
[07:04] <Arrick_Sleeping> anyone have a link to an example static IP setup?
[07:04] <Montaro> nickrud: this is true ;)
[07:04] <tarelerulz> I download great ,but I don't share most the time and I am lost. I saw what ports what every bit torrent client I am use and I port forward them .
[07:04] <musikgoat> tarelerulz:  how much upload speed do you have?  what kind of speeds are you getting
[07:04] <Arrick_Sleeping> I cant remember how to do it, I know its in /etc/network/interfaces
[07:04] <CyberMad> i can not open my ubuntu :(( i got BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-3ubuntu3) Build-in shell (ash). Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs)   How to fix it?
[07:05] <srbaker> folks
[07:05] <nickrud> dwf_starband: install the one from the repo, you can use it for that. Or mencoder.
[07:05] <bulmer> Zenexer just remove the wlan0 stuff, since you dont use wlan0
[07:05] <srbaker> having a slight problem with gutsy
[07:05] <tarelerulz> musikgoat , right this sec nothing
[07:05] <musikgoat> tarelerulz: you don't have to forward ports for giving data to others
[07:05] <Arrick_Sleeping> (server version here, 6.06)
[07:05] <nickrud> srbaker: #ubuntu+1 has the answers for gutsy
[07:05] <srbaker> jthx
[07:05] <Soskel> how can I imstall this? http://njpatel.blogspot.com/2007/10/01-01.html
[07:06] <r691175002> how can I install the real nvidia drivers?
[07:06] <dwf_starband> nickrud: how do i "just get it from the repo?"
[07:06] <tarelerulz> could it be the site I am getting my stuff from? I download something from other site and it worked fine
[07:06] <bulmer> Zenexer: actually you should also remove eth1 and eth2 since you dont have those interfaces
[07:06] <nickrud> dwf_starband: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
[07:06] <musikgoat> tarelerulz: absolutely
[07:06] <nickrud> dwf_starband: and the same with mencoder
[07:06] <musikgoat> the tracker really
[07:06] <Zenexer> bulmer:
[07:06] <Zenexer> Whoops
[07:07] <bulmer> yes?
[07:07] <Zenexer> bulmer: Ok
[07:07] <epzilon> bulmer: doesn't work either...
[07:07] <bulmer> epzilon: what command you typed?
[07:07] <nickrud> Soskel: go to https://launchpad.net/awn/+download , download it, and read the INSTALL file
[07:07] <nomaS> !xgl
[07:07] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[07:07] <epzilon> what command was I supposed to type? >.< I just used that GUI.
[07:07] <tarelerulz> musikgoat ,  The part I don't like is there are so many setting . I have no idea what they mean most the time. I understand what ports and I see why  you have to forward them.  Getting trough the router firewall
[07:07] <bulmer> epzilon: is eth0 disabled?
[07:08] <bulmer> epzilon  sudo ifdown eth0
[07:08] <bulmer> epzilon  sudo ifup ath0
[07:08] <dwf_starband> nickrud: thank you for your patience, guys like you really make learning easier!
[07:08] <musikgoat> there aren't really that many settings,  google what you don't know, and you can pick it up
[07:08] <Cristobal> anson: may i help you with some information?
[07:08] <r691175002> How can I close the X server?  I am trying to install the nvidia driver
[07:09] <Zenexer> bulmer: Ok, now what? I tried reconnecting, the IP is still the same. And all the eth# stuff still shows up, at least in the Network Tools Devices tab.
[07:09] <nickrud> dwf_starband: thank you and you are very welcome, I just work at not chasing people away ;)
[07:09] <dxdt> r691175002: ctrl+alt+backspace
[07:09] <dxdt> r691175002: then you should see the Nvidia logo as it reloads
[07:09] <Kr0ntab> r691175002, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[07:09] <r691175002> dxdt: but then how can I install the driver?
[07:09] <bulmer> Zenexer:  use ip a   and it will tell you if the interface is up or down
[07:09] <nickrud> r691175002: log out, hit ctl-alt-f1, log in there and type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

[07:09] <dwf_starband> nickrud: well thanks, your good at it
[07:10] <r691175002> dxdt: Thanks
[07:10] <bulmer> Zenexer is eth0 up?
[07:10] <dxdt> r691175002: install it and do all the steps then press ctrl+alt+backspace.  that is all really.  You can install it while in current graphics mode.
[07:10] <h1st0> r691175002: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[07:10] <Zenexer> bulmer: ip a is still the same; yes
[07:10] <Zenexer> bulmer: I think I know how to fix that.
[07:10] <h1st0> dxdt: no he is installing driver from nvidia.com for some reason.  You need to kill x server for it to install
[07:10] <bulmer> Zenexer   does ip a shows eth0 being up?
[07:10] <h1st0> r691175002: why don't you use the driver in SYstem > Administration > Restricted Drivers Mnaager?
[07:10] <Zenexer> bulmer: Yes, it does.
[07:10] <george_> ifconfig eth0 down
[07:11] <Zenexer> george_, already tried that.
[07:11] <george_> okay
[07:11] <Zenexer> Nothing =/
[07:11] <xTheGoat121x> One more time, for good measure.
[07:11] <bulmer> Zenexer and its still up?
[07:11] <george_> sudo ifconfig eth0 down
[07:11] <Zenexer> bulmer: Well, if it's on the list, does that mean it's up?
[07:11] <kotau> I already installed windows on another partiton, how do I get vmware to open it, I dont have a vmx file
[07:11] <Zenexer> Tried it with sudo, too ;-)
[07:11] <xTheGoat121x> Does anyone know how to set VLC so that it runs properly with Compiz?
[07:11] <george_> argh
[07:11] <h1st0> kotau: you can't really do that.
[07:11] <bulmer> Zenexer if it has no ip address its useless
[07:12] <Zenexer> bulmer: Ah, yes, it has no IP.
[07:12] <nickrud> kotau: you should probably ask on #vmware for the really hard stuff ;)
[07:12] <Zenexer> bulmer: It's still on the list, with a MAC address, though. I guess I expected it to completely dissappear from the list.
[07:12] <bulmer> Zenexer now does ath0 has ip and its still 169.254.x.x?
[07:12] <george_> whats your internal ip?
[07:12] <kotau> ok, thanks.  anyone know how to eject a USB hard drive?
[07:12] <george_> 192.168.1.x?
[07:12] <epzilo1> bulmer... couldn't you have told me that earlier? :P
[07:13] <epzilo1> bulmer, zenexer: I'm just surfing wireless.
[07:13] <nickrud> kotau: mine respond to the right click, so I don't know why yours don't
[07:13] <bulmer> epzilo1: which? i dont know at what state you were in
[07:13] <Zenexer> bulmer: Well, ath0:avahi still has that IP, ath0 still seems to like the MAC. But yes, it's in that grouping.
[07:13] <kotau> nick mine do respond, they just are immediately remounted
[07:13] <epzilo1> bulmer: the ifup and ifdn
[07:13] <nickrud> kotau: that's what I meant, I saw your question earlier
[07:13] <kotau> oh ok, sorry to spam
[07:13] <bulmer> epzilo1: i cant remember all commands sometimes :)
[07:13] <zobbo> xTheGoat121x, I don't run vlc on linux any more but thought I did have it working at some point. Is this thread any help? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/vlc-wont-play-video-with-compiz-running-548270/
[07:14] <christopher__> i have a small but annoying problem with beryl idk how i did it but i managed to get 14 desktops how do i take it down to like 4 it is slowing me down
[07:14] <nickrud> kotau: it was a while ago, asking about every 5 minutes is not spam ;)
[07:14] <bulmer> Zenexer: try now, sudo dhclient ath0
[07:14] <george_> ifconfig ath0 <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:14] <epzilo1> bulmer: at least it works now! Hm, do you think it'll still work if I bring WEP and MAC filter back?
[07:14] <bulmer> george_: dont let him set it that way, let the dhclient retrieve an ip addy
[07:15] <george_> see if it a dhcp issue.... no?
[07:15] <bulmer> epzilo1: make sure eth0 is not up the same time as your ath0 if they are connected to same router
[07:15] <Zenexer> bulmer: Still appears to fail, at least, I think it failed... ("No DHCPOFFERS received.")
[07:15] <christopher__> i have a small but annoying problem with beryl idk how i did it but i managed to get 14 desktops how do i take it down to like 4 it is slowing me down
[07:15] <nickrud> christopher__: beryl conf manager has a setting for that; I don't run it anymore so I can't point directly to the option
[07:15] <epzilo1> bulmer: thank you so much!
[07:15] <bulmer> george_: yes its dhclient issue for him, not acquiring a correct ip addy
[07:15] <Zenexer> bulmer: Maybe I just have something silly configured wrong.
[07:15] <bulmer> epzilo1: you're welcome
[07:15] <xTheGoat121x> zobbo, I'm checkin right now
[07:16] <heartsblood> whats the command to update the search index?
[07:16] <christopher__> ooops sorry for double post it is how slow bery with 14 desktops is making it
[07:16] <george_> aptitude update
[07:16] <bulmer> Zenexer: the same router/AP doles out ip address to your windows right?
[07:16] <Zenexer> bulmer: Yes.
[07:16] <nickrud> heartsblood: sudo updatedb
[07:16] <george_> oh slocate?
[07:16] <heartsblood> yes
[07:16] <heartsblood> ty
[07:16] <bulmer> Zenexer: you are using windows to chat here on irc ?
[07:16] <xTheGoat121x> zobbo, you ROCK!  I've been tryin to answer that question all frakin night
[07:16] <Zenexer> bulmer: Yes.
[07:17] <Zenexer> bulmer: I wonder what would happen if I turned on Wireshark on this computer and tried reconnecting on the other computer...
[07:17] <Zenexer> bulmer: Maybe we would get some hints.
[07:17] <heartsblood> anybody here use boinc?
[07:17] <zobbo> xTheGoat121x, ;) - no problem
[07:17] <bulmer> Zenexer: i dont know what wireshark do yet..hang on
[07:17] <nickrud> wireshark == ethereal
[07:17] <george_> sniffer
[07:17] <bulmer> ah okay
[07:17] <Zenexer> bulmer: Yeah, what they said.
[07:17] <PakYaw> ei guys how can i install screenlets ???
[07:18] <bulmer> Zenexer: open another terminal window and do a  tail -f /var/log/messages
[07:18] <bulmer> Zenexer while on the other window you issue that  dhclient ath0
[07:18] <nickrud> wonder why they changed that totally euphonious name
[07:19] <dremth> how can i make it so that when i get to the login screen it will have my user name already selected and asking for my password?
[07:19] <Zenexer> bulmer: Nothing about ath0 in the logs at all.
[07:19] <Zenexer> bulmer: Last entry is from when we disabled eth0.
[07:19] <bulmer> Zenexer you can switcht to that tail window and see what is happening as it happens
[07:20] <george_> if you kill everything in your interface file besides your loopback and restart, you should be able to enable roaming mode via NetworkManager
[07:20] <bulmer> Zenexer issuing that dhclient ath0  should trigger a dhcpdiscovery and should have been logged
[07:20] <epzilo2> bulmer: it doesn't work if I use a WEP...
[07:20] <Zenexer> bulmer: As we did that, it said, "eth0: link down" <line break> "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready"
[07:21] <Zenexer> bulmer: So it's still trying to go through eth0
[07:21] <bulmer> epzilo2: maybe your keys are not correct or not matching
[07:21] <george_> gimme shell i fix
[07:21] <Zenexer> bulmer: I think that may be because I installed ndiswrapper
[07:21] <epzilo2> bulmer: I don't think so...
[07:21] <dremth> how can i make it so that when i get to the login screen it will have my user name already selected and asking for my password?
[07:21] <bulmer> Zenexer it should have used ath0  as this is in your dhclient command
[07:22] <nickrud> dremth: I don't think you can; you can have it log you in automatically, though
[07:22] <Zenexer> bulmer: Exactly. I double-checked my command, it was ath0
[07:22] <dremth> nickrud, surely theres a way, right?
[07:22] <george_> try this
[07:22] <bulmer> epzilo2: i dont know how the wep key works
[07:22] <george_> install madwifi-tools
[07:23] <george_> then do wlanconfig ath0 destroy
[07:23] <nickrud> dremth: I don't think so. You could read through /etc/gdm/gdm.conf , but unless things have changed recently, no.
[07:23] <bulmer> Zenexer: try ifdown ath0; ifup ath0  and again watch what is going on on that tail window
[07:23] <george_> then wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
[07:23] <open-gl> what game do people plat the most in the game section
[07:23] <dremth> nickrud, ive made my own login screen and it seems to have a lot of flexibility but i dont know enough about it to make it do what i want.
[07:23] <Zenexer> bulmer: I think ndiswrapper forces Ubuntu to regard the wireless connection as an ethernet connection, since it is using a Windows driver. Windows doesn't actually have explicit support for wireless. Instead, it simulates ethernet.
[07:23] <open-gl> i want to play network vs people
[07:23] <Zenexer> bulmer: Okay
[07:24] <bulmer> Zenexer: nope
[07:25] <epzilo2> bulmer... it works only if I deactivate WEP and Mac-filter. I can't have an open network! :(
[07:25] <bulmer> epzilo2: are you sure you have the AP configured correctly with the same wep key as the client?
[07:25] <epzilo2> yes
[07:25] <Zenexer> bulmer: Nothing added.
[07:25] <AlanBShepard70> part
[07:26] <epzilo2> bulmer: and the Mac address should be correct too
[07:26] <bulmer> epzilo2: whats the ap brand and model?
[07:27] <zarul> gosh, anyone used vista I had this crcdisk.sys issue before, I can't even have the recovery DVD to work, now trying to figure out is there anything I can do from my Ubuntu
[07:27] <bulmer> Zenexer: when you do ifdown ath0; ifup ath0  nothing shows up with tail?
[07:27] <epzilo2> bulmer: d-link DI-524
[07:27] <zarul> *and had
[07:27] <Zenexer> bulmer: Nada. Even though it did the DHCPDISCOVER thing.
[07:27] <nickrud> open-gl: openarena is popular, a team shooter
[07:28] <bulmer> Zenexer thats really odd, it detects when you do a ifdown eth0 but not ifdown ath0 ?
[07:28] <george_> /etc/init.d/networking restart
[07:28] <Zenexer> bulmer: I don't know, I don't think it detected either. Let me try.
[07:28] <bulmer> Zenexer: yeah try that.. per george_
[07:28] <Zenexer> bulmer: Okay.
[07:29] <bulmer> george_: but that also enables eth0 again with a network restart
[07:29] <Zenexer> bulmer: Still trying eth0 stuff...
[07:30] <bulmer> yeah because network restart reactivated eth0
[07:30] <gustavo> hi
[07:30] <nexxt> how do i figure out what wireless driver i am using?
[07:30] <bulmer> Zenexer however eventually it will time out..make sure eth0 is not connected physically to your router for now
[07:30] <Zenexer> bulmer: Well, it did say "ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device" for eth2, eth1, and wlan0.
[07:30] <gustavo> how can i re-generate the grub menu.lst?
[07:30] <george_> try commenting everything out of interfaces besides loopback and ath0 then try...???
[07:31] <george_> must do laundry
[07:31] <bulmer> Zenexer I asked you earlier to remove eth1 and eth2 from interfaces file also
[07:31] <bulmer> and so as wlan0 to be removed
[07:31] <Zenexer> bulmer: Yes. I'll double check to make sure everthing is out of there.
[07:32] <mtb-cliff> Hi folks, I have a problem with apt-get, etc. I have lost the ability to install. sudo apt-get install -f results in an error that it can't overwrite because package Y uses this file.
[07:32] <mtb-cliff> anyway to get it to remove the package?
[07:32] <Zenexer> bulmer: Even though it said it saved, sure enough, it didn't. Wasn't a permissions error, I gave myself permissions over it.
[07:32] <epzilo2> bulmer: I'm giving up for today... I've already spent too much time with this.
[07:32] <mtb-cliff> package in question is the libmjpegtools
[07:33] <epzilo2> bulmer: thanks again, perhaps I'll find out what I did wrong.
[07:33] <bulmer> epzilo2: okay, try again tomorrow
[07:33] <epzilo2> Zenexer: good luck.
[07:33] <Zenexer> epzilo2: Thanks
[07:33] <Zenexer> ezpilo2: Good luck to you too, tomorrow ;-)
[07:33] <epzilo2> zenexer: thanks, I'll really need that.
[07:34] <epzilo2> bulmer, Zenexer: good night!
[07:34] <bulmer> good night
[07:34] <Zenexer> bulmer: Ok, now they are most certainly removed from the interfaces file.
[07:34] <Zenexer> bulmer: Ok, it's going for a DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 this time.
[07:35] <bulmer> Zenexer: good sign
[07:35] <Zenexer> bulmer: Well, still no response.
[07:35] <mEck0> Is there an application for linux where you can write down what you have eat each day and see how much calories it is etc.? I've found Shrinking Man, but it looks like you must know how much kcal e.g. your sandwich was by calculate it manually. It would be wonderful if there is a program which has a database of ingredients and stuff already in it.
[07:36] <Zenexer> bulmer: Again, nothing added to the log.
[07:36] <bulmer> Zenexer: iwconfig ath0  any positive sign?
[07:36] <andruk> is there a way i can download ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 from the repository and install it onto a different computer via a flash drive?
[07:36] <decay> #/join linuxmint
[07:37] <Zenexer> bulmer: Still the wrong IPs.
[07:37] <decay> Question
[07:37] <decay> When ubuntu boots, the screen is black
[07:37] <decay> any thoughts?
[07:37] <decay> geforce go 6100
[07:37] <bulmer> Zenexer: iwconfig ath0 shows an ip address? or you
[07:37] <bulmer> r using ifconfig ath0 ?
[07:38] <Zenexer> bulmer: I did sudo iwconfig ath0 essid [ssid] , then ip a
[07:38] <mtb-cliff> decay: my guess is that there is an issue with your xconfig file.
[07:38] <Zenexer> bulmer: I'm going to restart it again and see what Wireshark picks up.
[07:38] <bulmer> Zenexer: just type iwconfig ath0
[07:38] <bulmer> Zenexer okay
[07:39] <kahrytan> decay, and the error is....?
[07:40] <Zenexer> bulmer: Wireshark didn't pick up a thing that could have related to what we're doing.
[07:41] <bulmer> Zenexer: monitoring the correct nic card?
[07:41] <mtb-cliff> /leave
[07:41] <Zenexer> bulmer: iwconfig ath0 reads that the computer is connected to the correct SSID at the correct frequency and everything... 802.11g
[07:41] <Zenexer> bulmer: Yes, I'm picking up normal traffic from all over the network, just nothing from the Linux computer.
[07:42] <nexxt> how do i figure out what wifi driver i am using?
[07:42] <bulmer> Zenexer you have to have the correct ip address assigned to you first
[07:42] <Zenexer> bulmer: Yes, but sometimes you can pick up stuff as they're trying to work out an IP.
[07:42] <hookdump> list
[07:42] <bulmer> Zenexer nothing still shows on the tail window?
[07:43] <Zenexer> bulmer: Nada
[07:43] <hookdump> how can i list channels?
[07:43] <Zenexer> bulmer: Nothing new, anyways.
[07:43] <Zenexer> hookdump, /list
[07:43] <Zenexer> If you mean IRC
[07:43] <hookdump> *thx
[07:43] <Zenexer> No problem.
[07:44] <bulmer> Zenexer umm...sudo ip addr show ath0
[07:44] <Zenexer> Same old wrong IP.
[07:44] <bulmer> Zenexer: hang on, let me see if dhclient have any kind of configs
[07:46] <bulmer> Zenexer pastebin your /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[07:46] <bmt2> hello to all
[07:46] <bmt2> has anyone on here successfully downloaded video from myspace
[07:46] <bmt2> maybe using a download manager : d4x, aira, or gwget
[07:46] <george> myspace is evil
[07:47] <riotkittie> i love myself far too much to download from myspace, let alone visit it
[07:47] <Zenexer> bulmer: Should it be all commented out? Becuase all but one or two insignificant lines are commented out.
[07:47] <Zenexer> all be*
[07:47] <bulmer> Zenexer pastebin your /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf..let me look at it
[07:47] <Zenexer> Ok.
[07:47] <r691175002> Can someone help me get my monitors working?  I tried it and ended up screwing everything up enough that I just reinstalled ubuntu.
[07:47] <yngone> could i boot ubuntu live from a usb flash drive 1GB?
[07:47] <yngone> could i boot ubuntu live from a usb flash drive 1GB?
[07:47] <george> yes
[07:48] <yngone> i ordered IRONKEY usb flash drive
[07:48] <yngone> and i think im gonna put ubuntu on it
[07:48] <kahrytan> !usb
[07:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:48] <yngone> so when i stick in usb flash it boots linux for me
[07:48] <yngone> is that possible?
[07:48] <riotkittie> r691175002. if you're messing with config files, especially those owned by root, step one is... back them up :P
[07:48] <r691175002> riotkittie: Yeah, I learned that...
[07:49] <kahrytan> yngone,  umm google for ubuntu usb flash drive yet?
[07:49] <r691175002> I don't even know what I am doing in the config files
[07:49] <george> whats this google you speak of?
[07:49] <r691175002> I can't even get ubuntu to run my monitor at the native resolution
[07:49] <riotkittie> r691175002: hee. i figured as much. and you could have just sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to spawn a clean config. but  i cant help with dual monitors
[07:49] <nexxt> How do i figure out what wireless driver i am using?
[07:50] <r691175002> riotkittie: At this point I would be happy running this monitor at 1600x1200
[07:50] <r691175002> riotkittie: And im going to write down that reconfigure thing
[07:50] <yngone> how much space u think it would take up
[07:50] <yngone> of my 1gb?
[07:50] <Zenexer> bulmer: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39936/
[07:50] <bulmer> nexxt: dmesg may tell you that
[07:50] <george> all of it
[07:50] <riotkittie> r691175002: run it now. it will guide you through xorg.conf set up, give you the option to add values or accept the default. you can solve the resolution problems theer :P
[07:50] <lee_> hi
[07:51] <george> lspcii
[07:51] <Jordan_U> nexxt, It will be in lsmod
[07:51] <tovella> yngone: 700MB plus extra programs (if you want).
[07:51] <r691175002> riotkittie: Thanks
[07:51] <yngone> i would just be using
[07:51] <yngone> xchat ssh and mozilla
[07:51] <yngone> and ipkungfu
[07:51] <lee_> i just had a rather interesting adventure with Ubntu X lol
[07:52] <yngone> actually if im running windows xp and put int he usb flash i wouldnt need a firewalll running on the linux
[07:52] <Jordan_U> yngone, If you use the LiveCD image you can put a whole basic install on < 1 GIG
[07:52] <yngone> because windows one is
[07:52] <tovella> yngone: i did it using instructions from pendrivelinux.com
[07:52] <yngone> i might order the 2gb
[07:52] <bulmer> Zenexer add a # to comment out that line  send host-name "<hostname>";   and
[07:52] <yngone> maybe i can change my order
[07:52] <Jordan_U> yngone, Might want to go with DSL though, it's 50 meg
[07:52] <h1st0> yngone: I have a 4gb stick with knoppix and portableapps on it and its only taking like 1.4gigs
[07:53] <Jordan_U> yngone, Not nearly as good hardware support though
[07:53] <yngone> h1stG what usb flash u buy?
[07:53] <h1st0> yngone: some sony that was on sale at walmart
[07:53] <lee_> knoppix
[07:53] <yngone> i ordered IRONKEY
[07:53] <yngone> susposidly most secure usb flas hdrive
[07:53] <h1st0> lee_: its another distro
[07:53] <lee_> i have a  knopix that has indi on it
[07:53] <bulmer> Zenexer add this  interface "ath0:1" {   send dhcp-client-identifier "myhost-ath0:1"; }
[07:54] <Jordan_U> yngone, Flash keys aren't 'secure' , encryption programs are secure
[07:54] <yngone> its encrypted
[07:54] <yngone> aes cbc
[07:54] <yngone> its a nuts usb flash
[07:54] <Jordan_U> yngone, All that they mean by secure is that it comes with some windows encryption program
[07:54] <Zenexer> bulmer: What text editor should I use? I can't figure out VI, as I've only used the Fedora version, and even then only via SSH
[07:54] <decay> kahrytan: no error. cant see anything
[07:54] <h1st0> hrm... think its time to upgrade here and give gutsy another go.  Hopefully it doesn't blow up again.
[07:54] <tovella> yngone: those instructions are for edgy-eft, but the same instructions worked fine for me using feisty - did it on a 2GB, 'cause I've got too much crap i want on it from my desktop's home directory.
[07:55] <bulmer> Zenexer nano ? or vim?
[07:55] <Zenexer> bulmer: Having to change the permissions every time to open it with a gui is a nuisance.
[07:55] <Zenexer> bulmer: vim
[07:55] <george> you can use gedit
[07:55] <george> hit alt +f2
[07:55] <yngone> Designed to be the world's most secure flash drive, the IronKey employs military-grade AES hardware-based encryption using its IronKey Cryptochip
[07:55] <Zenexer> bulmer: I can't get the insert/replace function to work the way I'm used to using it
[07:55] <bulmer> Zenexer or gedit per george
[07:55] <lee_> hmm taht I do find to be a nuisence too
[07:55] <Zenexer> george, thanks
[07:55] <Jordan_U> Zenexer, vimtutor if you want to learn vi / vim
[07:55] <george> type in gksu gedit
[07:55] <Zenexer> Jordan_U, thanks
[07:56] <Jordan_U> Zenexer, np
[07:56] <Montrevux> hi all
[07:56] <yngone> If you forget your password, you may be in trouble; after ten consecutive failed password attempts, the IronKey self-destructs (internally) and erases everything on the drive using "flash-trash" technology
[07:56] <lee_> but I much rather have a nuisnecne then some one coming in and trying to mess with the setting on my pc lol
[07:56] <lee_> SAY WHT
[07:56] <lee_> the computer self destructs?
[07:57] <Jordan_U> yngone, So does it actually have a CPU in it or is this still just software?
[07:57] <lee_> this I did not know
[07:57] <nexxt> hrm what line in lsmod would tell me what driver  i amusing for wifi
[07:57] <yngone> hardware
[07:57] <yngone> its a chip
[07:57] <Jordan_U> yngone, I stand corrected, never heard of something like that before :)
[07:57] <yngone> its pretty crazy
[07:57] <yngone> ironkey.com
[07:58] <alecwh> Is there any way to join an "iChat" chat (on a mac) with linux over LAN?
[07:58] <yngone> watch the demo
[07:58] <yngone> its waterproof
[07:58] <yngone> and tamperproof
[07:58] <lee_> it sounds  like a nice program should some one wind up stealing you pc
[07:58] <frostburn> you should check out the usb key from thinkgeek, 10 incorrect password attempts and it melts
[07:58] <Zenexer> bulmer, should I add it at the bottom?
[07:58] <yngone> miltitary grade
[07:58] <lee_> or try to access it
[07:58] <bulmer> Zenexer yes, and dont forget what i suggest to comment out
[07:58] <george> great!  i can email someone im drowning
[07:58] <Zenexer> bulmer: Yes, I did that part.
[07:59] <Zenexer> bulmer: Now what?
[07:59] <lee_> well
[07:59] <nexxt> is wlan a driver?
[07:59] <bulmer> Zenexer: that network restart
[07:59] <Zenexer> bulmer: Okay
[07:59] <bulmer> nexxt: no, its just a label
[07:59] <lee_> the only thing that has me fully thinking aobut converting is needing soft ware either paid or free tht will allow me to fully edit and creat f profesional quality DVDS
[08:00] <nexxt> bulmer i cant find it :\
[08:00] <lee_> like the one sof water taht came with my DVDxpressdx2
[08:00] <r691175002> ok heres a really stupid question, when you are in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and you want to check the boxes that are like [*]  800-600, how do you do it?
[08:00] <lee_> erg Ia tired lo
[08:00] <bulmer> nexxt: whats it? what cant you find?
[08:00] <lee_> eh sft ware
[08:00] <Zenexer> bulmer: Doesn't appear any different... almost complete, again with no responses
[08:00] <george> hit the space  bar
[08:00] <lee_> er software
[08:00] <r691175002> Thanks lol
[08:01] <nexxt> bulmer trying to figure about what wireless driver i am using
[08:01] <Jordan_U> lee_, Define professional quality, something like DVD Studio Pro, or something more like iDVD ?
[08:01] <bulmer> Zenexer: iwconfig ath0  shows connected?
[08:01] <Zenexer> bulmer: Yes, that's the same as before.
[08:01] <bulmer> nexxt: dmesg doesnt show it?
[08:02] <lee_> did you guys know that they have software taht some how uses th e wires or..blootoosh chp to tap into the CDMA signal of cell phones?
[08:02] <Zenexer> bulmer: "Access Point: Not-Associate" -- I have no idea what that means, but it might mean something to you. It said that before, too.
[08:02] <lee_> or somethign to that effect
[08:02] <bulmer> Zenexer:  whats the signal strength?
[08:02] <Zenexer> bulmer: Quite good, -74 dBm
[08:02] <lee_> no idea jsut as ec goin into the adremove progams
[08:02] <bulmer> Zenexer:  i thought you said earlier it connected?
[08:03] <PurpZeY> Can anyone suggest to me a reason why I can't add pidgin to Kiba-Dock, and how I can fix it?
[08:03] <r691175002> Horray! I managed to get my monitor running at 1600x1200 without screwing something up
[08:03] <Zenexer> bulmer: As far as I can tell, it did.
[08:03] <r691175002> now could anyone help me with the other two monitors?
[08:03] <bulmer> Zenexer i'd like you to pastebin your   iwconfig ath0 results
[08:03] <Montrevux> sudo make me a sandwhich
[08:03] <nexxt> wifi0 a driver bulmer?
[08:03] <Zenexer> bulmer: Ok
[08:03] <george> no
[08:03] <lee_> I am running the full ati drviers with open gl
[08:03] <Montrevux> ATI :(
[08:03] <lee_> aswell as othe other 3d effects
[08:03] <bulmer> nexxt nope, do this,   pastebin your dmesg results and we can check for you
[08:03] <lee_> i am running ati x300\
[08:04] <Montrevux> X300?
[08:04] <r691175002> please, does anyone know anything about setting up multi-monitors?  I really don't want to have to try that myself again...
[08:04] <lee_> its aan amd based  card
[08:04] <lee_> radeon x 300
[08:05] <lee_> 128mb..dualthreading blabla
[08:05] <lee_> with tv out and dvi out
[08:05] <Montrevux> Go out and buy an nvidia 8600GT. :/
[08:06] <lee_> i would if i had the money lol
[08:06] <Zenexer> bulmer: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39937/
[08:06] <lee_> oh
[08:06] <nexxt> bulmer: pastebin.com/m3d8fa36a
[08:06] <lee_> duid i mention it a pci2 thingy?
[08:07] <Montrevux> It's right around $100 USD now.
[08:07] <lee_> or what ever that wierd new thing is
[08:07] <Montrevux> PCI2?
[08:07] <bulmer> Zenexer: it has not connected yet, the not associated is your clue
[08:07] <Montrevux> express.
[08:07] <Montrevux> PCI-e
[08:07] <Zenexer> bulmer: Okay.
[08:07] <lee_> its supse to be that nstep up from pci
[08:07] <bulmer> Zenexer: retry reconnect with either network restart or that ifdown then ifup
[08:08] <Zenexer> bulmer: Yeah, I'll just try all those commands again.
[08:08] <Montrevux> new step from AGP, really. But it's all good.
[08:08] <lee_> yeah that s it lol
[08:09] <Montrevux> So, GNU/linux is great, i've decided.
[08:09] <nexxt> bulmer: www.pastebin.com/m3d8fa36a
[08:09] <Zenexer> bulmer, when I restart it, before the DHCPDISCOVER requests, it says "wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801"
[08:09] <Montrevux> Coming from an hardcore Windows user for some long.
[08:09] <Zenexer> I think that might have something to do with it
[08:09] <lee_> oh i have the catylyst control ceneter up too
[08:09] <bulmer> nexxt: am checking
[08:10] <nexxt> hrm did that link even work?
[08:10] <lee_> what the....
[08:10] <lee_> it say 32mb lol
[08:10] <lee_> whent its 128
[08:11] <lee_> oh it PCI express
[08:11] <bulmer> nexxt: here is your clue 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.28
[08:11] <Dekaritae> Is there an image viewer that supports viewing images in archives, and descript.ion metadata?
[08:11] <Dekaritae> ShowImg does the former, but not the latter.
[08:11] <lee_> memerys ddr/sdram
[08:12] <lee_> memory clock is
[08:12] <mikebot> WHen using tilda is there a way to type the tilda key?
[08:12] <mssever> Dekaritae: What kind of archives?
[08:12] <lee_> 297?
[08:12] <Dekaritae> Standard pkzip
[08:12] <lee_> and a core clock of 325?
[08:12] <frostburn> ~ ?
[08:13] <lee_> e h press the  shift ~
[08:13] <mikebot> Anyone?
[08:13] <nexxt> errr bulmer that looks like the eth0 driver not ath0
[08:14] <lee_> shft plus`
[08:14] <mikebot> lee_: I want the symbol you get when you press ~ without holding shift
[08:14] <lee_> ohh sorry
[08:14] <mikebot> My fault, I didn't make it clear.
[08:14] <r691175002> How do you find the BusID of a video card?
[08:14] <lee_> try the graphic key mapping
[08:15] <lee_> eh Char map
[08:15] <mikebot> hehe OK, thanks.
[08:15] <mikebot> Night./
[08:15] <lee_> it shouhuld be
[08:15] <lee_> in your cards id
[08:15] <graelb> Ok! i can't find the driver for my wireless card
[08:15] <lee_> Ie when you bring up
[08:16] <graelb> it's eth1, is there an easy way to find out what driver it's using?
[08:16] <bulmer> nexxt: look in  /lib/firmware/`uname -r` and look for something that wpa or atheros related
[08:16] <lee_> soemthing like Atis catlyst contril
[08:16] <r691175002> I am using two nvidia cards
[08:16] <crolle17> need some svn-help. i get this message when i try to checkout a new repo: svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn-nx/trunk/CEIS-Typ'
[08:16] <nexxt> ok
[08:16] <crolle17> what could be the reason for this? do you have a clue?
[08:17] <lee_> well I have to restart lol
[08:17] <nexxt> iwlwifi?
[08:17] <lee_> changed a few settings
[08:17] <silent__> it always amazes me how responsive this OS is even on older hardware
[08:18] <Zenexer> bulmer: I think the subnet mask is wrong. I'll be right back, then I'm going to mess with that.
[08:18] <frostburn> r691175002, lspci ?
[08:18] <r691175002> frostburn: I am a total noob
[08:18] <graelb> Anyone? how do i find out what driver my eth1 is using?
[08:18] <bulmer> zenexer okay
[08:19] <r691175002> frostburn: And I really want my triple monitors to work, and I have no idea what I am doing, and it isn't going well
[08:19] <bulmer> graelb:  dmesg  and look for it there
[08:19] <dany700> hi everybody
[08:19] <shad0w1e> hey is there a variable which'll tell me where standard output is presently pointing?
[08:19] <r691175002> frostburn: So I have no idea what lspci means
[08:19] <musikgoat> list peripheral connections
[08:19] <graelb> Seriously? how do i find it in there? lol
[08:20] <r691175002> ah crap, there is like a billion lines
[08:20] <frostburn> r691175002, lspci |more
[08:20] <lee_> hello

[08:21] <Myrth[home] > hi, my laptop supports 1024x768 and i'm trying to increase resolution of console mode. in /boot/grub/menu.lst kopt=vga=791 does nothing and if i put in kernel line vga=791 it shows only blinking cursor in 80x25 mode.. what can i do? thanks
[08:21] <musikgoat> what are the references to video?
[08:21] <dany700> a question: is there any way to upgrade ubuntu 32bit to 64bit without reinstalling the o.s.? for example trought synaptic?
[08:21] <frostburn> dany700, did you create a separate partition for /home?
[08:21] <lee_> eh lcds are usuall 60 mhz
[08:22] <lee_> way different then the oold stye monitors
[08:22] <dany700> *throught
[08:23] <lee_> eh i do have one question? why it the system saying i am using 32 of 128 megs of ram lol
[08:23] <lee_> on my video card?
[08:24] <Evanlec> lee_, because its shared memory
[08:24] <lee_> ahh
[08:24] <CaptainMorgan> how do I view hard drive and memory info from the command line ?
[08:24] <indraveni> hi all
[08:24] <godlygeek> cat /proc/meminfo
[08:24] <lee_> why di they do a funky thing like that lol
[08:24] <bulmer> df -h  and du
[08:24] <CaptainMorgan> ie: either Gb's or partitions, and gb's of mem ?
[08:24] <lee_> whne the card its self has tos of ram
[08:24] <indraveni> i have a sony vaio laptop, and i am not able to use motion eye web cam inbuilt in the sony laptop
[08:24] <godlygeek> CaptainMorgan: try free for memory
[08:24] <indraveni> i installled all the necesasry drivers
[08:25] <h1st0> !webcam > indraveni
[08:25] <godlygeek> CaptainMorgan: that is, 'free' is the name of the cmd... ;)
[08:25] <indraveni> the output for dmesg | grep r5u870
[08:25] <indraveni>  shows
[08:25] <indraveni> usbcam: registering driver r5u870 0.10.0
[08:25] <indraveni> usbcore: registered new interface driver r5u870
[08:25] <lee_> eh I did too
[08:25] <lee_> I have 3d and all
[08:25] <Chriswaterguy> Can someone suggest where to get help troubleshooting a particular wifi connection, using WiFi Radar?
[08:25] <Chriswaterguy> I'm trying to use a particular free wifi connection (at the university of North Sumatra).WiFi Rader detected the signal, but couldn't get an IP address. Another user, on a Windows machine, showed me his setup: an http proxy was set (<IP_ADDRESS>) and a port was specified: 9378. It seems like I can't access a proxy setting in WiFi Radar.
[08:25] <Chriswaterguy> Thanks
[08:25] <CaptainMorgan> thanks godlygeek how about hdd ?
[08:26] <godlygeek> CaptainMorgan: thinking.  ;)
[08:26] <indraveni> but my dmesg | grep sony, shows the output something like this, which shows camera - off
[08:26] <indraveni> sonypi: detected type3 model, verbose = 0, fnkeyinit = off, camera = off, compat = off, mask = 0xffffffff, useinput = on, acpi = on
[08:26] <h1st0> Chriswaterguy: well the proxy shouldn't have an effect on dhcp
[08:26] <godlygeek> CaptainMorgan: sudo fdisk -l /dev/[hs] d[abc...]
[08:26] <indraveni> how can i make my camera=on
[08:26] <lee_> so then is my enitre pc sharing not just the 528 megs of rma but its also using my cards ram?
[08:27] <h1st0> lee_: what type of video card do you have and where did you get the information about the 32mb
[08:27] <Montrevux> An ATI x300
[08:27] <lee_> I have the ati x300
[08:27] <dissection> Hello. I was just trying out wireshark. Can that capture packets only from the system its running on, or any system on the LAN?
[08:27] <mikebot> Why can't I print dvi files from Evince?
[08:27] <lee_> and the info came from the catylst control center from ati
[08:28] <Cute> Hi!
[08:28] <indraveni> help needed please
[08:28] <dissection> indraveni: Are you trying to get the motioneye camera to work?
[08:28] <Montrevux> Was sagst du ueber?
[08:28] <lee_> yeah an ati x300
[08:29] <lee_> plugged into a PCI express
[08:29] <indraveni> dissection, yes
[08:29] <h1st0> dissection: system its running on.  Unless you arp poison the other computer on the lan
[08:29] <Chriswaterguy> h1st0: I'm a bit of a newbie - don't know why it's not working.
[08:29] <Chriswaterguy> any suggestions?
[08:29] <Montrevux> Wo ist die Deutsche IRC?
[08:29] <Flannel> !de | Montrevux
[08:29] <h1st0> Chriswaterguy: are you sure its set for dhcp or do you have to specify ip?
[08:29] <ubotu> Montrevux: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de
[08:29] <frostburn> Montrevux, #ubuntu-de
[08:29] <Fryguy--> can somebody df -H and tell me how much space their install is using?
[08:29] <Chriswaterguy> Or is there another forum where I should ask about using WiFi Radar?
[08:29] <indraveni> dissection, any help please?
[08:29] <CaptainMorgan> godlygeek, simply sudo fdisk -l does it :)
[08:29] <CaptainMorgan> thanks
[08:29] <lee_> erg no spreken de deuch
[08:29] <Montrevux> danke.
[08:30] <saywatmang> I want to modify some an execuateable in some package, so I do apt-get source package_name, then I modify the code, but is there a special way to ./configure it to match the binary that comes w ubuntu? It seems./configure doesn't put things the same place the binary package does
[08:30] <dissection> indraveni: I have that too. Look for "motioneye" on ubuntuforums.org. Depending on the camera model it uses, some people have been able to get it to work. Mine uses a newer Ricoh camera and there're no drivers for it yet.
[08:30] <godlygeek> CaptainMorgan: good.  :)
[08:30] <Cute> lolok
[08:30] <Chriswaterguy> h1st0: I have no idea - don't even know what dhcp is. how do I find out?
[08:30] <Flannel> saywatmang: When you compile source packages, you get deb files
[08:30] <lee_> eh ok I have a dell dimension 5150
[08:30] <Cute> bawokkkkkkkkkk
[08:30] <saywatmang> Flannel: i was compiling with make, and I just got binaries, no .debs
[08:30] <indraveni> dissection, mine also uses ricoh
[08:30] <Chriswaterguy> h1st0: it just had an entry in http proxy... then a port number.
[08:30] <saywatmang> Flannel, am I supposed to compile a diff way?
[08:31] <lee_> and I am running the drivers from ati
[08:31] <godlygeek> Fryguy--: mine is, at present, using 11 GB
[08:31] <h1st0> !dhcp > Chriswaterguy
[08:31] <saywatmang> Flannel, or am I just on crack and I didnt see the .deb ?
[08:31] <dissection> h1st0: What do you mean by arp poison? Is there something I need to install on the other PC?
[08:31] <godlygeek> Fryguy--: though i hardly have a minimal installation.
[08:31] <dxdt> saywatmang: you could use checkinstall instead of make isntall which we'll produce and install a .deb file.
[08:31] <Fryguy--> godlygeek: thank you, is that counting swap or just /
[08:31] <h1st0> dissection: no you could actually use an ARP attack and put yourself in the middle of the other lan machine and the hub/router
[08:31] <Chriswaterguy> h1st0: there was something about localhost at the bottom of the settings box... but I didn't think that looked relevant, and there was nothing equivalent on WiFi Radar either.
[08:31] <indraveni> dissection, so u r not uses ur camera in ur laptop ?
[08:32] <saywatmang> dxdt, is that the recommended way to do it ?
[08:32] <h1st0> Chriswaterguy: try setting your ip to something in range of the network then enter the proxy info
[08:32] <lee_> eh I don't even have a cam except for the sony eye toy
[08:32] <godlygeek> Fryguy--: that's just / , though 0.5 GB of that are kernel sources and objects...
[08:32] <Cute> kontolllllllll i love u bawok
[08:32] <lee_> in which linux seems to read all the data correctly
[08:32] <dissection> indraveni: Personally I don't have a use for the camera so I haven't tried much. Since Ubuntu 7.10 is just round the corner, I thought I'll wait for it to see if it'll work automatically, instead of me having to spend countless hours trying to get it to work. I did try a few drivers for Ricoh for other models, but they didn't work.
[08:32] <dxdt> saywatmang: ummm  I wouldn't say recommended, but I like it because then I'm not mixing make install with my package manged installs.  Like I can remove stuff with synaptic and stuff using checkinstall so I personally prefer it and try to use it unless it isn't possible.
[08:33] <godlygeek> Fryguy--: oh wait...
[08:33] <dissection> indraveni: Which model Vaio do you have?
[08:33] <Chriswaterguy> h1st0:how do I find the range of the network?
[08:33] <dxdt> when is 7.10 coming out?  I just got the 7.04 cd's I requested.  :-/ oh wells
[08:33] <Myrth[home] > is there a way to change console vga mode without rebooting?
[08:33] <saywatmang> dxdt, ok cool, ill try that, do i have to use auto-apt if im going to use checkinstall ?
[08:33] <dissection> dxdt: 10 days more
[08:33] <godlygeek> Fryguy--: my god, i have a single 3 GB file in / !  oops!  So, say, 7.5 GB
[08:33] <Chriswaterguy> h1st0: i tried using the proxy setting (<IP_ADDRESS>) in the "IP" setting on WiFi Radar but didn't help.
[08:34] <dxdt> saywatmang: I want to say no, since I don't know what auto-apt is..so I don't think so unless it is behind the scenes or something
[08:34] <dissection> Chriswaterguy: The proxy settings are to be set in the browser, or whatever other app that you need to access the internet with.
[08:34] <Fryguy--> eh i'll give myself like 13.5 to play with, including swap. Thanks for the help
[08:34] <saywatmang> dxdt, ok i dunno i just remmebebr seeing some tutorial saying, u use auto-apt run ./configure, and then checkinstall together or something
[08:34] <Chriswaterguy> h1st0: is the port number (on the Windows machine using the network) irrelevant for Linux?
[08:34] <godlygeek> Fryguy--: sure, no problem.
[08:34] <Chriswaterguy> ah...
[08:35] <freak_> hello
[08:35] <saywatmang> dxdt, but here's one issue, when i do ./configure it defaults the prefix to /usr/local, but I know thats not the prefix  the default pacakge uses, so will checkinstall somehow change that prefix after everythings been compiled?
[08:35] <Chriswaterguy> Thanks dissection - will head over there and try it out!
[08:36] <freak_> is there someone
[08:36] <dxdt> saywatmang: Probably not.  Prefix will be defined with ./configure --prefix=/usr/whatever more than likely checkinstall won't mess with it.  Though with all of this I'm not sure as I'm no checkinstall expert.  There may very well be a way to do it with checkinstall.
[08:36] <h1st0> Chriswaterguy: no
[08:36] <CyberMad> i got this error when load ubuntu: /bin/sh: Can't access tty; Job control turned off; Then i tried hit ESC before load ubuntu, then edit the boot line.. but how to save it?

[08:37] <godlygeek> CyberMad: you can't save the boot line from grub.  but, once the system is booted, you can change the boot line in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:37] <Chriswaterguy> h1st0: sounds like dissection's suggestion might do the trick.
[08:38] <Chriswaterguy> "The proxy settings are to be set in the browser, or whatever other app that you need to access the internet with."
[08:38] <h1st0> Chriswaterguy: yeap
[08:38] <CyberMad> ok
[08:39] <dissection> Chriswaterguy: You might want to try the app 'proxychains' to enable proxy support for apps that don't have it built-in. I do that a lot, for using irsis. :)
[08:39] <dissection> *irssi
[08:39] <Chriswaterguy> Thanks for the help, people!
[08:39] <silent__> wow. I just screwed up my fstab hard... can some one please give me the options for root mount?
[08:40] <silent__> is there a way to auto-generate a new fstab?
[08:40] <crolle17> i tried to checkout a a repo and got this message: svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn-nx/trunk/CEIS-Type' svn: PROPFIND of '/svn-nx/trunk/CEIS-Typ': Could not resolve hostname `bfpi.dyndns.org': Host not found (https://bfpi.dyndns.org) but the host is available.

[08:40] <godlygeek> silent__: no.. you REALLY should make backups.
[08:40] <CyberMad> do you know how to fix this problem: /bin/sh: Can't access tty; Job control turned off, i already tried change the menu.lst to: kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-27-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash
[08:40] <CyberMad> but still got problem
[08:40] <CyberMad> :(
[08:41] <Evanlec> godlygeek, u mean backups of fstab?
[08:41] <godlygeek> silent__: that being said, mine is:   UUID=e4cf84e7-6b98-49dd-96e5-cb01fcb9a349 / ext3 defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
[08:41] <crolle17> can you please give me an hint?
[08:41] <godlygeek> Evanlec: yes, in this case, but really any configuration file...
[08:41] <Flannel> crolle17: try #subversion, they'll be better suited to help
[08:41] <silent__> godlygeek: what does your swap line look like... I'm missing the back half of each line
[08:42] <BlackCow> can anyone help me set up ftp on my ubuntu server?, I used this tutorial, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588&highlight=ftp+server (and replaced the directory with /var/www) but when i try to start proftpd I get this, "Warning: Cannot start in standalone nor inetd.xinted mode. Check your configuration
[08:42] <Evanlec> godlygeek, any easy way to back all those up?
[08:42] <indraveni> dissection, any help please?
[08:42] <godlygeek> silent__: no, i can't give you that one; i don't use a swap partition.  sorry.
[08:42] <dissection> indraveni: Sorry, unfortunately I myself couldn't get my camera to work :(
[08:43] <silent__> can some one give me the default swap mounting line for fstab for 7.04?
[08:43] <frostburn> cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.default ?
[08:43] <godlygeek> Evanlec: i don't know of an automatic way, but the standard way is just "copy the file somewhere else before editing it"
[08:43] <frostburn> UUID=<your uuid> swap sw 0 0
[08:43] <Evanlec> godlygeek, right right, i was thinking of a backup solution like rsync or somethin
[08:43] <gaten> why is the bookmark menu in Firefox bigger in gnome than in XP? ie in gnome I can't see the last 3 bookmarks without scrolling down, but in XP I can see them all and still have some space left below the window. both desktops are in the same resolution
[08:44] <silent__> frostburn: thanks, was missing the 0 0
[08:44] <godlygeek> Evanlec: overkill for how rarely you change a file in /etc
[08:44] <frostburn> gaten, the top gnome panel
[08:44] <godlygeek> though i do have an svn repos set up just for my ~/.*rc files
[08:44] <CyberMad> does anyone here can help me how to fix my grub, instead re-install the OS ??
[08:44] <Chriswaterguy> dissection: Thanks - will try proxychains!
[08:45] <CyberMad> i'm frustated
[08:45] <Evanlec> godlygeek, what do u mean ?
[08:45] <Montrevux> CyberMad try using a livecd?
[08:45] <godlygeek> Evanlec: i mean that my ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc...  are all synced to a remote server so that i can set them up quickly on other machines.
[08:46] <gaten> frostburn: i thought that too, but the space doesnt make up for it. in XP, the bottom of the bookmark menu comes about 4 inches from touching the start menu taskbar, but in gnome its bigger than the whole window
[08:46] <Evanlec> godlygeek, i see, thats what i want to do with my important documents, how'd u set that up?
[08:47] <frostburn> gaten, then perhaps the fonts in the window manager are bigger
[08:47] <godlygeek> Evanlec: this looks like a good enough link: http://ubuntu-ph.org/node/19
[08:47] <gaten> frostburn: now there's something i didn't think of. thanks
[08:47] <Evanlec> godlygeek, thanks
[08:48] <godlygeek> Evanlec: np
[08:48] <godlygeek> CyberMad: that error should have nothing to do with grub, afaik...
[08:49] <frostburn> godlygeek, it can be, if grub isn't pointing to the right device
[08:49] <godlygeek> CyberMad: to restore grub to what it was by default, though, try  sudo update-grub
[08:49] <Evanlec> godlygeek, who provides your remote storage?
[08:49] <godlygeek> Evanlec: sorry, no luck there, i run multiple of my own machines.
[08:50] <Evanlec> o i c
[08:50] <CyberMad> so, do you know what error is this:  /bin/sh: Can't access tty; Job control turned off
[08:50] <Zenexer> bulmer, any more ideas?
[08:51] <olek> czesc
[08:52] <frostburn> CyberMad, can you pastebin your grub config please?
[08:53] <riotkittie> i hate that job control error msg. i only get it on my laptop, tho. and only when i'm wireless. i have to load getty manually, and then it just gets ugly
[08:53] <godlygeek> CyberMad: what frostburn said.  but, if you can't resolve the problem with his help,  sudo update-grub  will restore set up a new menu.lst automatically, the same way as it was created initially.
[08:53] <godlygeek> Good luck, and goodnight.  :)
[08:54] <indraveni> dissection, i installed some more drivers
[08:55] <indraveni> dissection, can u tell me how i can test whether my camera is working or not?
[08:55] <indraveni> dissection, is it only using xawtv ?
[08:55] <riotkittie> a cheap workaround, for me, at least ... is to run screen. and then things seem to be okay
[08:55] <frostburn> indraveni, gstreamer-properties
[08:55] <indraveni> frostburn, what to do in that gstreamer-propetied?
[08:56] <frostburn> there should be tests to see if it's working
[08:56] <indraveni> frostburn, will it show my camera name  ?
[08:57] <kaushal> hi
[08:57] <frostburn> i don't believe so, lsusb might though
[08:57] <MartinW> /leave #ubuntu
[08:57] <dissection> indraveni: It should work fine with xawtv or camstream if its installed correctly.
[08:57] <dissection> indraveni: There's a small led next to the camera. If the camera's turned on, it should light up.
[08:58] <indraveni> dissection, ok
[08:58] <indraveni> dissection, my xawtv outout shows an error message something like
[08:58] <kaushal> I want to rename *.txt file to *.html file inside a folder How can i do it using find command

[09:00] <astro76> kaushal, mv takes two arguments, you aren't specifying a destination
[09:00] <kaushal> ok

[09:02] <scguy318> !p2p
[09:02] <astro76> kaushal, no, you can't use find for this
[09:02] <ubotu> Conventional P2P clients: Limewire/GTK-Gnutella/Frostwire (Gnutella Network).  -  BitTorrent: see !torrent  -  Direct connect: try valknut.  -  Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information.
[09:02] <Wolf23> scguy318:  do u have this program?
[09:03] <astro76> kaushal, either a short bash script, or the easier way, learn to use rename
[09:03] <scguy318> Wolf23: I don't have any conventional P2P clients, my music tastes are pretty crappy
[09:03] <scguy318> Wolf23: I use Azureus for my BitTorrent needs
[09:03] <Wolf23> scguy318:  if yes can u see if there a song "the last goodbye by sandra reemer?
[09:03] <nikin> hy

[09:07] <frostburn> if it's not on tpb, it doesn't exist
[09:07] <Wolf23> scguy318:  now do u find the song?

[09:22] <brownie17> hi. i want to add a symlink to (i think it is /usr/bin?) so when i type thinliquidfilm in the terminal it will run /home/fraser/thinliquidfilm/thinliquidfilm.py
[09:22] <brownie17> can anyone tell me how this is acheived?
[09:23] <dwa> you need the ln command brownie17
[09:23] <dissection> Hello, I just tried ARP poisoning using Ettercap, but my other laptop's getting disconnected when I do that. Is there a way to prevent that?
[09:23] <dwa> brownie17: go to /usr/bin and type ln -s /home/fraser/thinliquidfilm/thinliquidfilm.py
[09:24] <brownie17> dwa, thanks dude
[09:24] <Mortice> brownie17: you need to write a short script first that will execute the command "python /home/fraser/thinliquidfilm/thinliquidfilm.py". Then you can put that in /usr/bin or symlink it there using ln -s
[09:24] <brownie17> Mortice, ahh. hmm.. that sounds weird, k how would i write that script?
[09:25] <brownie17> Mortice, just type exactly what you said into a gedit document then save it as???
[09:25] <Mortice> brownie17: at least, I think you do. I'm not sure whether you can run a python script directly. What happens when you go into that directory and type "./thinliquidfilm.py"?
[09:25] <brownie17> Mortice, it runs as expected
[09:25] <Mortice> brownie17: ok, ignore me and follow other people's advice on symlinking it in /usr/bin then :)
[09:25] <brownie17> Mortice, lol thanks anyway
[09:26] <Mortice> brownie17: apologies :)
[09:26] <Lr5_> Anyone knows if there's any vnc clients for mobile phones?
[09:27] <brownie17> Mortice, don't sweat it
[09:27] <dwa> Lr5_: probably depends on what phone you have
[09:27] <dwa> but for Symbian phones for example there are vnc clients
[09:27] <Lr5_> dwa: Nokia E61i, using Symbian

[09:57] <Polysics> the host and hosted machines can see the whole network fine, but not each other
[09:58] <mrak> Polysics: what about vmware server ?
[09:58] <nikolam> Hello
[09:58] <Polysics> mrak, what do you mean with "what about?"
[09:58] <Polysics> it's installed and works fine
[09:58] <haukka> nexxt:  What version do you have on your laptop?
[09:58] <nexxt> feisty
[09:59] <Polysics> the only odd thing is that the host and hosted machines should "see" each other fine since it's bridged networking
[09:59] <peppych_> execute ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so from :~/.mozilla/plugins
[09:59] <mrak> Polysics: i mean have u any problem with vmware server ?
[09:59] <nikolam> I am so sick and tired havving issues with gam_server. It is using Whole CPU all the time and there is nothing I can do to stop it! >:I
[09:59] <nexxt> i has fully booted 3 out of about 20 times
[09:59] <nexxt> i=it
[09:59] <haukka> I had a problem with my graphics card on feisty, could be it. What card do you have?
[09:59] <PKdoR> thanks guy i just did the apget thingi and works fine now
[09:59] <Polysics> the other way around (XP as host and Ubuntu as hosteds) works fine
[09:59] <nexxt> ati
[09:59] <haukka> Me too :/
[09:59] <Polysics> mrak, no, windows boot perfectly and the whole network works
[09:59] <nikolam> !gam_server
[09:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gam_server - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:59] <peppych_> the execute thing was for PKdoR: :-D
[09:59] <haukka> try 6.06, if it works update to 7.04
[10:00] <nexxt> i dont think its a graphics error
[10:00] <mrak> enby: what is cpu there ? i booted ubuntu on 366 ... switched to cmd line kill gdm and it worked ok
[10:01] <mrak> Polysics: :)
[10:01] <PKdoR> so say U7.10 is about to be unleased right, so will i have to re install everything when i update?
[10:01] <NetGear> stickybit`, cbt nuggets is just like online lectures
[10:01] <nexxt> what is restricted manager?
[10:01] <enby> mrak: the cpu is alright (celeron 433Mhz) but it's got 64mb memory, which is not enough for X server... btw, thanks for the advices

[10:01] <nexxt> it dies after that
[10:01] <scguy318> nexxt: the REstricted Driver Manager lets you installed proprietary drivers
[10:02] <stickybit`> stickybit`: is it an application?... do you use it?
[10:02] <turnier> z
[10:02] <NetGear> stickybit`, just accept the torrent files and the use it for see how a person work on the system? i have not seen it
[10:02] <haukka> nexxt:  That means it installs drivers that have no support from ubuntu. ie. Ati display drivers
[10:02] <nexxt> scguy : it dies after that loads and just sitting at a orange screen
[10:02] <mrak> enby : np
[10:03] <Irreducibilis> Is there a way to turn off the UAC in ubuntu?
[10:03] <haukka> nexxt:  Then I guess it has to be your graphic drivers :) Had the same problem myself
[10:03] <nexxt> and my wireless card always pops up and says no support
[10:03] <ddr> why ubuntu has so hard software installation, is there software installations that is like on windows including all modules (in windows dll files)
[10:03] <PKdoR> I have both 7Z and winrar inatall but I just want to keep one which ono should i keep?
[10:03] <haukka> nexxt:  Let me guess, Atheros wireless card?
[10:03] <Irreducibilis> PKdoR: Winrar
[10:03] <nexxt> obv
[10:03] <stickybit`> NetGear: do you use it?
[10:03] <enby> mrak: the funny thing, they have hidden all the documentation regarding the boot options on the web site, the only info i could get is from the "really small" on-screen help built into the boot loader itself... looks like the web site is all about "how to install mp3 codecs" or "get my video acceleration work" :(
[10:04] <PKdoR> ok
[10:04] <NetGear> yes but i have for ccna nugets
[10:04] <NetGear> rhce nuggets only the torrent file
[10:04] <PKdoR> and is there a way ti intergrate rar to the context menu in ubuntu like in xp?
[10:04] <Irreducibilis> Is there a way to turn off the UAC in ubuntu?
[10:04] <NetGear> cant download it
[10:05] <stickybit`> NetGear: why?
[10:05] <mrak> enby : so try to man :)
[10:05] <NetGear> no peers
[10:06] <stickybit`> NetGear: oh
[10:06] <Irreducibilis> !UAC
[10:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about uac - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:06] <Woet> Hello. I downloaded and installed beryl, it shows up at the Applications menu. But how do i enable it? The options are ok, but they arent applied. I restarted ubuntu.
[10:06] <scguy318> Irreducibilis: it's not really UAC, so much as it is an application of sudo
[10:06] <scguy318> !sudo | Irreducibilis
[10:06] <ubotu> Irreducibilis: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:06] <NetGear> do u want it
[10:07] <stickybit`> NetGear: what?... torrent file?
[10:07] <Irreducibilis> Well its very annoying, in a Vista-like way.
[10:07] <PKdoR> ok I just installed rar but i cant find it anywhere?!?!
[10:08] <mrak> PKdoR: in cmd line unrar or rar
[10:08] <stickybit`> NetGear: please type my nick always.... as I do type yours
[10:08] <dissection> !arp
[10:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about arp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:09] <NetGear> stickybit`, i have send the files it's waiting accept it
[10:09] <PKdoR> mrak: is ther a gui for it?
[10:09] <stickybit`> NetGear: that's better... welll I didn't get any invitation
[10:09] <CyberMad> what is the best GUI FTP Client for ubuntu?
[10:10] <PKdoR> mrak: or maybe a way to ad a context manu?
[10:10] <defrysk> PKdoR, its automagically added to the packerset of fileroller
[10:10] <frostburn> CyberMad, either filezilla or gftp, i use both
[10:10] <stickybit`> NetGear: are you sending torrent file?
[10:11] <brownie17> what the heck is thinkpad-keys and can i delete it?
[10:11] <CyberMad> thanks
[10:11] <NetGear> stickybit`, i have send it 3 times it    on waiting
[10:11] <defrysk> PKdoR, in other words unrar can now be used with a rightclick in Nautilus > extract
[10:11] <stickybit`> NetGear: is your Compiz working fine?
[10:11] <stickybit`> NetGear: are you sending a torrent file?.. please mail me
[10:11] <mrak> PKdoR: if u open some folder with rar archives it looks like some package ... just dubleclick on it
[10:12] <CyberMad> looks like gftp more stable than filezilla
[10:13] <stickybit`> NetGear: accept the file... now I am trying to send one to you
[10:13] <PKdoR> mrak:  so i dont have to install pakerset or fileroller?
[10:13] <CyberMad> i found many problem with filezilla.. well i use this a lot on windows without any problem
[10:13] <Irreducibilis> I am just going to enable root and use that for everything.
[10:13] <NetGear> stickybit`, send it again
[10:13] <frostburn> Irreducibilis, what's the point?
[10:13] <mrak> PKdoR: it must b default ... or try to use mc
[10:13] <NetGear> stickybit`, i  have mail you?
[10:13] <Irreducibilis> frostburn: Not being bothered.
[10:14] <frostburn> Irreducibilis, you realize that's incredibly insecure?
[10:14] <anditosan> how can I put brightness support in the kernel?
[10:14] <anditosan> I got an intel card
[10:14] <stickybit`> NetGear: which file?... torrent... asked you atleast 3 times... you are not answering
[10:14] <slimjimflim> hi, every time i run ls, it runs recursively, how do i change that?
[10:14] <Irreducibilis> I concider myself computer-worthy enough to make decisions without having to enter passwords for everything or being unable to even save files in a location
[10:14] <slimjimflim> is that an environmental variable?
[10:15] <ohdear> :D
[10:15] <Irreducibilis> OR... I could just keep using windows.
[10:15] <charleh> ^^,
[10:15] <PKdoR> mrak:  but all my rar open with archive manager
[10:15] <PKdoR> mrak and no  drag and drop
[10:15] <brownie17> does anyone know if i need a file called thinkpad-keys on a desktop
[10:15] <frostburn> Irreducibilis, that sounds best.
[10:15] <Woet> Irreducibilis: if you know how, can you tell me how to become root for everything?
[10:16] <Woet> Im getting annoyed with all those errors that i dont have permission
[10:16] <NetGear> stickybit`, it's stil waiting & i have mail you check mial?
[10:16] <frostburn> Woet, use sudo?
[10:16] <scguy318> !root | Woet
[10:16] <ubotu> Woet: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[10:16] <Irreducibilis> Woet: Set a root password.
[10:16] <Woet> and how do i access folders via sudo -i?
[10:16] <mrak> PKdoR: u mean it didnt automaticly unpack ?
[10:16] <frostburn> Woet, sudo nautilus ?
[10:16] <Irreducibilis> sudo passwd root
[10:16] <nikolam> WHY I cant upgrade gamin to 0.1.9 version if I use fiesty - 7.04
[10:16] <PKdoR> mrak: no
[10:16] <nikolam> Gamin is uding my Whole CPU!
[10:17] <mrak> PKdoR:  so what u want to do ?
[10:17] <nikolam> gam_server is killing my system
[10:17] <stickybit`> NetGear: lunch time... will be back after half an hour.. till then cheers
[10:17] <PKdoR> mrak: to use rar as default and not archive manager
[10:17] <Irreducibilis> Woet: sudo passwd root, then enter your password, then set the root pass
[10:18] <CyberMad> where to find list of the best software that can run on ubuntu?
[10:18] <charleh> PIZZA!
[10:18] <nikolam> I am killing gam_server 10 times a day, Ubuntu is a buggy mess..

[10:18] <acidburn2087> how do i set a root password?
[10:18] <scguy318> if you haven't already read that discussion
[10:18] <scguy318> aacidburn2087: what Irreducibilis said
[10:18] <scguy318> nikolam: file a bug?
[10:18] <Irreducibilis> scguy318: It works in bash in DSL, it should work in bash in Ubuntu
[10:19] <scguy318> Irreducibilis: what works?
[10:19] <nikolam> acidburn2087: You boot from livecd or rescue  from alternate, chroot and set it with passwd command
[10:19] <acidburn2087> lol ok
[10:19] <Irreducibilis> scguy318: setting root
[10:19] <scguy318> Irreducibilis: yeah of course
[10:19] <nikolam> scguy318: I will rather throw computer out of window. Bug exist for about a Year >:*-(
[10:20] <Flannel> acidburn2087, nikolam, there's no reason to do that to set a root password.  Of course, there's also no real reason to set a root password either.
[10:20] <Irreducibilis> nikolam: Before you throw your computer out the window, please enter your password.
[10:20] <Irreducibilis> :D
[10:20] <mrak> PKdoR: it can b problem
[10:20] <acidburn2087> ok im lost....
[10:20] <anditosan> any suggestions for me?
[10:20] <mrak> PKdoR: i dont have any idea how u setup as default
[10:21] <acidburn2087> i hava the system installed
[10:21] <Flannel> nikolam: gamin 1.9 was released after feisty was released, and its not in gutsy either, since it was released after the import freeze.
[10:21] <ohdear> ah, but you can retrieve your root password in a matter of minutes, just put in a few well placed commands, and voila
[10:21] <nikolam> Flannel: Yes there IS reson to set Root password! If you reboot and something is wrong, Ubuntu is govong root shell to EVERYONE passing buy. So yes, It is Strongly advisable to SET Root password! :I
[10:21] <scguy318> nikolam: huh?
[10:21] <scguy318> nikolam: if you boot into single-user mode, you wont get asked for a password, no questions asked
[10:21] <Flannel> nikolam: Physical proximity to a machine is always a security risk, root password or not.
[10:21] <Irreducibilis> scguy318: He is trying to say that sometimes you NEED it if all the other accounts dont work.
[10:21] <scguy318> nikolam: that's by design
[10:21] <Irreducibilis> Such as a critical system failure
[10:22] <nikolam> Flannel: I DONT care. It is using 80% of CPU on both cpu Cores and I use Stable version of ubuntu. I want it FIXED
[10:22] <Flannel> Irreducibilis: Thats what the recovery console is for
[10:22] <scguy318> Irreducibilis: you can boot into Recovery Mode
[10:22] <scguy318> Irreducibilis: single-user mode requires no root password
[10:22] <alecwh> wow. ubuntu rules.
[10:22] <acidburn2087> how do i set the root passord? i read the link but it left more confused.....
[10:22] <scguy318> Irreducibilis: whether set or not
[10:22] <Flannel> nikolam: you'll need to build it yourself then.
[10:22] <scguy318> acidburn2087: sudo passwd root
[10:22] <Flannel> acidburn2087: You don't want to.
[10:22] <nikolam> scguy318: Thats just wrong by design and insecure that I am so pissed.
[10:22] <acidburn2087> i dont want to do what?
[10:22] <Irreducibilis> I like DSL better. Its so much more simplistic and its not so full of formalities and rules.
[10:22] <nikolam> Flannel: No I wont.
[10:22] <mrak> acidburn2087:  sudo passwd
[10:23] <scguy318> nikolam: then take it out of your menu.lst
[10:23] <Irreducibilis> And yet... I need ubuntu for some higher computing tasks...
[10:23] <Flannel> acidburn2087: you don't want to set a root password.
[10:23] <ohdear> how do i install ubuntu on Windows XP?????
[10:23] <Irreducibilis> Flannel: Mind tricks dont work on me.
[10:23] <acidburn2087> sudo passd is the root passwd?
[10:23] <scguy318> nikolam: if a person has physical access to a machine, that machine's security is busted tbh

[10:23] <mrak> ohdear: format c: and put cd to your cdrom ;)
[10:24] <nikolam> scguy318: Thank you for advice but i just SET root password in System>Users And groups menu :-I
[10:24] <scguy318> nikolam: that's fine, though it doesn't mean anything if you boot in single-user
[10:24] <Irreducibilis> scguy318: I have to agree with you there. I was able to boot from a DSL liveCD on a windows box and mount the hard drive, giveing me free access to any critical files.
[10:24] <nikolam> tarelerulz: Thanks on the link, I think I visited it earlier
[10:24] <ohdear> XD, ok, I was just trying to annoy you :P

[10:29] <scguy318> brownie17: best to leave it alone
[10:29] <brownie17> scguy318, damn
[10:29] <nikolam> PKdoR: I use VLC on 64-bit, since it is only program that plays wmv videos on 64-bit.
[10:29] <scguy318> brownie17: deleting it will save you....not a lot of kbytes :)
[10:29] <PKdoR> scguy318: is there any way to make it open videos on the same player instead of opening a new instance of VLC?
[10:29] <scguy318> PKdoR: not sure

[10:30] <nikolam> PKdoR: U use list: View>Playlist

[10:36] <stonekeeper> hi all. My mate has tried out the gutsy beta and his previously working wireless card stopped working (native driver). We tried ndiswrapper and although it claimed to be there and installed correctly, it wouldn't show in ifconfig. Where can i get information about these types of issues? thanks.

[10:37] <PKdoR> What is possibly the best media player for linux?
[10:37] <Irreducibilis> Vlc
[10:37] <PKdoR> I dont really like totem
[10:37] <scguy318> PKdoR: thats a subjective question, though i zomg like VLC!
[10:38] <PKdoR> any other then VLC?
[10:38] <nikolam> PKdoR: I think Vlc player, since it Works on 64-bit.
[10:39] <Irreducibilis> 64 bit is so non-standard.
[10:39] <scguy318> 64-bit is a pain at the present date
[10:39] <Irreducibilis> Everyone knows that 8 bit is teh pwnzors, all the way :D
[10:39] <dissection> lulz
[10:39] <nikolam> Irreducibilis: Tou are NO-wise. Anyone using more then 3Gigs of ram MUST use 64-bit.
[10:40] <nikolam> scguy318: You are wrong. 64-bit it working Just FINE on Ubuntu. Everything works. It is beacouse of binary Windblows prop. codecs.
[10:40] <Irreducibilis> nikolam: So use 2.99 gigs.
[10:40] <frostburn> nikolam, that isn't a problem in gutsy
[10:40] <scguy318> nikolam: except Flash
[10:40] <Irreducibilis> Its enough
[10:41] <indraveni> hi
