[03:33] <SpeakerMania> ArsHermetica: Yes. Hit F2 repeatedly upon boot. Scroll through the pages. There is indeed a setting.
[03:34] <andrew222> hi, i have the wierdest wireless problem right now. wicd shows me as conected to a network and thus the internet but apparantly i cannot go on the internet though firefox or pinging through terminal. I am chatting on my laptop btw. the problem is on my desktop.
[03:34] <SpeakerMania> Bspec, that is a bit abnormal... Have you tried closing compiz? I have had several system freeze-ups from Compiz
[03:34] <ArsHermetica> SpeakerMania: Thank you so so so much, lol. Much obliged
[03:34] <crdlb> donkdonk: ubiquity is the livecd-based installer
[03:34] <andrew222> i restated the interface and tried reconnecting but it still doesnt work
[03:34] <SpeakerMania> ArsHermetica: No problem.
[03:34] <SpeakerMania> :)
[03:35] <donkdonk> crdlb and nickrud thanks a ton
[03:35]  * ArsHermetica tosses SpeakerMania a batch of cookies and vanishes
[03:35] <th0r_> nickrud nope...I am using suse linux on this laptop, and xchat has a 'tree' window on the left with both suse and ubuntu channels in it, but I can't see a way to separate the windows
[03:35] <SpeakerMania> :)
[03:35] <achandrashekar> ManicMechE: yeah..I hear you with those gosh darn combination to get it to boot keys. At one point or another I remember CTRL-C....
[03:35] <Bspec> SpeakerMania, i could try going on without compiz for a while
[03:35] <andrew222> anybody know why it would show me as connected to router and still not being able to go on internet?
[03:35] <nickrud> donkdonk: reading ubiquity description it's a front end to debian-installer, which used discover last I actually looked was a _long_ time ago
[03:35] <Optimus55> anyone have experience with eclipse? i get this error when i try to start: no java virtual machine was found... etc location: /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun/bin/java
[03:36] <Sol> alright, question now, i try to access a NTFS formatted drive
[03:36] <Optimus55> i know i have java installed, and frostwire even works
[03:36] <SpeakerMania> Bspec, It wouldn't surprise me if that was the problem.
[03:36] <Sol> i get an error saying that it wasn't a clean shut down
[03:36] <achandrashekar> ManicMechE: you will then get a bootloader prompt and then go from there...
[03:36] <nickrud> th0r_: settings->channel switcher, you can change to tabs
[03:36] <achandrashekar> ManicMechE: you should then see the "white screen of life"...lol
[03:37] <Sol> will trying to force the drive to mount cause data loss?
[03:37] <nickrud> th0r_: settings->prefs->channel switcher, you can change to tabs
[03:37] <pppoe_dude> anyone has a workaround why sometimes sound stops working and needs reboot? i think it has to do with firefox/flash
[03:37] <Sol> alright, question now, i try to access a NTFS formatted drive
[03:37] <fotoflo> hmm whats the default commandline mail program in ubuntu?
[03:37] <Sol> i get an error saying that it wasn't a clean shut down
[03:37] <Sol> will trying to force the drive to mount cause data loss?

[03:38] <xLE> i have java6..etc but when i try to load a java applet it says "Error loading applet" i've tried multiple times
[03:38] <ManicMechE> achandrashekar: neither ctrl-C nor cmd-C on boot did anything
[03:38] <Sol> alright, question now, i try to access a NTFS formatted drive
[03:38] <Sol> i get an error saying that it wasn't a clean shut down
[03:38] <Sol> will trying to force the drive to mount cause data loss?
[03:38] <carl_> ups sorry, I thought that I was in
[03:38] <th0r> nickrud...nope...I think I found the problem...xchat-gnome instead of xchat. will have to change that out
[03:38] <carl_> :D
[03:38] <fotoflo> Whats the default command line mail program in ubuntu?
[03:38] <nickrud> th0r: oh, cooties
[03:38] <fotoflo> no pine or elm is available
[03:38] <nickrud> fotoflo: mutt
[03:38] <bassinboy> do you have to use 64bit windows drivers for ndiswrapper on a ubuntu 64?
[03:39] <th0r> nickrud agreed <shudder>
[03:39] <xLE> i have java6..etc but when i try to load a java applet it says "Error loading applet" i've tried multiple times.. what's wrong?
[03:39] <Sol> alright, question now, i try to access a NTFS formatted drive
[03:39] <Sol> i get an error saying that it wasn't a clean shut down
[03:39] <Sol> will trying to force the drive to mount cause data loss?
[03:39] <serenecloud> I'd like to build a gutsy kernel with vserver support, has anyone else here done this before?
[03:39] <fotoflo> nickrud: thanks
[03:39] <biouser> anyone know of some good programs to handle .tex files?
[03:39] <nickrud> xLE: did you install sun-java6-plugin ?
[03:39] <xLE> yes
[03:40] <nickrud> xLE: does it work at sun's plugin test page?
[03:40] <biouser> xLE, ubuntu-restricted-extras was a good package for me on a lot of levels if you don't have that already
[03:40] <achandrashekar> ManicMechE: I ht8 to ask but you have verified that the media is bootable right??
[03:41] <xLE> nickrud, i also installed some "gcjwebsomething" i'll remove it.. how do you remove it?
[03:41] <xLE> apt-get remove package?
[03:41] <nickrud> xLE: yes, or search for it in synaptic if you can't remember the exact name
[03:41] <bkar> xLE-> update-alternatives --config java  to select the correct java
[03:42] <greentea> are there video converters i'm looking specifically on mkv to avi
[03:42]  * nickrud *smacks* his forehead
[03:43] <xLE> it says there is "another synaptic running" ;s
[03:43] <bassinboy> ndiswrapper is telling my hardware present for the driver's i'm loading, but i still dont have a wlan
[03:43] <biouser> xLE, close the other one
[03:43] <xLE> i dont have one open
[03:43] <biouser> C:\
[03:43] <mhall> lol what card are u using bassinboy
[03:43] <xLE> i have xchat, firefox and a terminal open
[03:43] <xLE> thats it
[03:43] <biouser> xLE, in a terminal or somewhere, or anupdate manager
[03:43] <misslecommand> MadPilot, you hit that right on the nose. i hadnt seen the "installing system" dialog box
[03:44] <biouser> xLE, what's going on in the terminal?
[03:44] <bassinboy> mhall broadcom 94311
[03:44] <xLE> nothing
[03:44] <Madpilot> misslecommand, so the problem was the fat32, or what?
[03:44] <xLE> i have done a few apt-get's though
[03:44] <ManicMechE> achandrashekar: er, good question...I'm not sure how to do that
[03:44] <mhall> lol im trying to get mine working now also
[03:45] <greentea> are there video converters i'm looking specifically on mkv to avi?
[03:45] <mhall> the only linux distro that i have ndiswrapper to work on is suse
[03:45] <bassinboy> mhall: works fine in other distros
[03:45] <mhall> but i dont like it
[03:45] <CrAzY-181> hi guys ive just installed ubuntu server 7.10 and would like gnome or similar x system anyone able to help me out?
[03:45] <misslecommand> yes, i had made it FAT32, in hopes windows could see it.
[03:45] <achandrashekar> ManicMechE: Id say...ermmm...maybe open it up on another box...and see if you can see the bootloader files??
[03:45] <jetscreamer> you usually need a wlan in /etc/network/interfaces, ifup wlan0, then check iptables, then dhclient et al
[03:45] <achandrashekar> Anyone know how to verify a PPC ISO is bootable??
[03:45] <bassinboy> mhall: if you've never used gentoo, you are missing out
[03:46] <mhall> gentoo any good?
[03:46] <misslecommand> i went with all defaults, with the exception of choosing what drive/partition. but params and configs, all ubuntu
[03:46] <achandrashekar> or for that matter any Ubuntu ISO...how do you check if its bootable?? and check the MD5 sum value??
[03:46]  * nickrud thinks only people with too much time on their hands use gentoo :)
[03:46] <Creationist> How would I go about finding out why my internet connection has slowed down so much in Linux but not Windows?  Used to be running about 200k/sec downloads... now it's more like 50k/sec.
[03:46] <bassinboy> mhall: come to #gentoo-texas
[03:46] <Madpilot> ubotu, md5sum | achandrashekar
[03:46] <ubotu> achandrashekar: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more
[03:46] <Sol> how do i login as root!!
[03:46] <Bspec> SpeakerMania, trackerd is still using up my cpu
[03:46] <achandrashekar> Madpilot: is that also gonna tell me if the media is bootable or..??
[03:46] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo
[03:46] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:46] <Madpilot> Sol, you don't
[03:47] <donkdonk> Sol: ubuntu is stupid and wount let you
[03:47] <Sol> AH
[03:47] <BaD-AcerLaptop> Sol: sudo -s
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> donkdonk: Please behave
[03:47] <Sol> ok wonderful thank you, i didn't know that's waht sudo did
[03:47] <nails> you can sudo bash
[03:47] <Madpilot> donkdonk, no, Ubuntu has a more intelligent security model, and won't let you.
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo
[03:47] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[03:47] <Sol> i just knew it was useful as crap ;D
[03:47] <nickrud> Sol: sudo -i gives you a very nice root terminal
[03:47] <achandrashekar> uhmmm...ubuntu is not stupid... sudo su will do the job my friend
[03:47] <nickrud> Sol: but you don't need it but maybe a couple times a year
[03:48] <xLE> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[03:48] <Sol> nickrud: i need to log in as root so that i can force mount an NTFS drive, couldn't figure out out to do it, but i had no idea what sudo actually was hahah
[03:48] <xLE> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[03:48] <Madpilot> achandrashekar, assuming the md5 checks out, and you burn the ISO properly, it should boot
[03:48] <Niriven> What would people recommend for a motherboard chipset (amd processor), nvidia, via, etc?
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> xLE: Close your other package manager
[03:48] <CrAzY-181> anyone know how to install gnome on server 7.10?
[03:48] <xLE> Jack_Sparrow, i only have XChat and a terminal open, thats it.. no package manager
[03:48] <misslecommand> i used Nero 7 to burn the downloaded ISO, it worked for me, doing so.
[03:49] <nickrud> xLE: ps -A | grep dpkg , do you see it running?
[03:49] <xLE> no
[03:49] <xLE> it returns nothing
[03:50] <Sol> THANK YOU ALL SUPER CRAPLOADS ALOT
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !noroot
[03:50] <ubotu> We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-)
[03:50] <th0r_> nickrud xchat is SO much better...thanks
[03:50] <LHoT> hello, is there anyway I can sync my iPhone with Amarok?
[03:50] <Sol> i got access to my NTFS folder, therefore my FILES ARE MINE!!!
[03:50] <achandrashekar> Sol: sudo su
[03:50] <achandrashekar> Sol: that will effectively make you root
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !attitude > Sol
[03:51] <Sol> attitude?
[03:51] <ManicMechE> achandrashekar: yes, it does appear to be bootable
[03:51] <Sol> i'm being thankful for an extremely helpful community.
[03:51] <xLE> nickrud, it returns nothing
[03:51] <nickrud> achandrashekar: if you're gonna suggest something like that, suggest sudo -i
[03:51] <Creationist> Jack_Sparrow: He wasn't yelling at people ;)
[03:51] <LHoT> No one?
[03:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Sol: The language could be intrepeted both ways
[03:51] <nickrud> xLE: then a hack would be removing /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[03:52] <Creationist> Jack_Sparrow: Not in context, it wouldn't be :P  But alrighty
[03:52] <achandrashekar> nickrud: I suppose you are correct. I was attempting to figure out a way with sudo to effectively make him root. ;)
[03:52] <xLE> a hack?
[03:52] <Sol> jack_sparrow: yeah, good call, my bad, i'll tone it down haha sorry
[03:52] <Creationist> No one takes anything in context anymore anyway.
[03:52] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[03:52] <nickrud> xLE: a way that works, but is not elegant
[03:53] <CrAzY-181> hey guys can someone tell me how to install gnome on server 7.10?
[03:53] <achandrashekar> ManicMechE: id say a little hunting on the internet...there are so many of those different combos.. so are you rebooting the box, and immediately after you hear the apple "dong" holding down ctrl-c or whatever??
[03:53] <MasterShrek> CrAzY-181, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:53] <Jack_Sparrow> !find gnome
[03:53] <ubotu> Found: abiword-gnome, abiword-plugins-gnome, bluez-gnome, dia-gnome, gksu (and 636 others)
[03:53] <viator> im trying to connect to another computer using vnc
[03:53] <nickrud> achandrashekar: yeah, the main reason I suggest sudo (ubuntu has it's own) is it makes it *much* harder for someone who's not used to having root terminals open accidentally type the wrong thing in the wrong terminal
[03:53] <Creationist> CrAzY-181: IF you want the full Ubuntu system, it's ubuntu-desktop.  Otherwise, just install "gnome-base"
[03:53] <CrAzY-181> MasterShreck: i tried that i just get cant find package
[03:54] <Creationist> !find gnome-base
[03:54] <ubotu> Package/file gnome-base does not exist in gutsy
[03:54] <MasterShrek> !find ubuntu-desktop
[03:54] <viator> the computer i want to conect to when i set up remote desktop says to enter vncviewer ubuntulamp:0
[03:54] <ubotu> Found: edubuntu-desktop, edubuntu-desktop-kde, kubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop
[03:54] <achandrashekar> nickrud: Damn...expected him to learn like I do...blow stuff up.. :)
[03:54] <viator> i do but it keeps timing out
[03:54] <MasterShrek> !info ubuntu-desktop
[03:54] <ubotu> ubuntu-desktop: The Ubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.79 (gutsy), package size 22 kB, installed size 48 kB
[03:54] <viator> what could be the problem
[03:54] <Dezine> Hi there, I've been looking around at laptops and I'm hoping to find a cheap option that is perfect for Ubuntu.. wondering if anyone is using a laptop with Ubuntu and if they could suggest one I should look at.
[03:55] <MasterShrek> viator, is there a firewall or router between the two machines?
[03:55] <donkdonk> viator: what happens when you ping ubuntulamp
[03:55] <nickrud> achandrashekar: lol, I've done that, and it was right before I needed to do some serious work. Did not look good to the boss, no
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> CrAzY-181: you can install just gnome and not the entire ubuntu-desktop
[03:55] <CrAzY-181> could not find package!!
[03:55] <viator> i connected to the lamp i have joomla in it and apache
[03:55] <viator> i can connect to it by typing the ip address
[03:55] <viator> that worked
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> CrAzY-181: You would need to enable the other repos
[03:55] <achandrashekar> Dezine: heard acer was pretty good. im using a vaio vgn-n365e with no issues now...with SMP support for core duo.
[03:56] <viator> but let me ping it for fun
[03:56] <viator> lol
[03:56] <viator> yes theres a router
[03:56] <CrAzY-181> Jack_Sparrow:ok how do ii do that?
[03:56] <donkdonk> viator: darn you beat me to the answer...
[03:56] <randomwalker> Dezine, people run ubuntu on all kidns of different laptops, its probably better if you narrowed it down a bit and tried to find if your choices have any problems with ubuntu
[03:56] <achandrashekar> nickrud: ahhh..the price of "learning"...the hard way...
[03:56] <MasterShrek> viator, then use the ip address instead of hostname, if you really want to use the hostname, edit your /etc/hosts file
[03:56] <Dezine> good point
[03:56] <Jack_Sparrow> CrAzY-181: /etc/apt/sources.list          use your favorite editor
[03:56] <biouser> vim is my favorite editor now
[03:56] <Dezine> It'll just be a internet/blogging laptop so I could go for a cheap option
[03:57] <MasterShrek> good to hear biouser :)
[03:57] <nickrud> achandrashekar: no, I'd been using linux for over four years. Just lost track of the terminal ...
[03:57] <awmcclain> Hey all... anyone know where the hostnames for "Local Address" in netstat get resolved from?
[03:57] <CrAzY-181> Jack_Sparrow: imm new to server what editors are installed?
[03:57] <biouser> hit insert to edit 'esc' :w to write, 'esc' :q to leave
[03:57] <achandrashekar> Dezine: one of the annoying things to do is making damn sure you have native support for wireless... it sucks to use ndiswrapper or something
[03:57] <MasterShrek> Dezine, dells generally work pretty well
[03:57] <Dezine> hm
[03:57] <Dezine> I had a dell for while, things worked well
[03:57] <viator> heh ......presses button >that was easy!
[03:57] <MasterShrek> wifi isnt as big of a problem as it used to be
[03:57] <Dezine> Kinda old, we're talking three years or so.
[03:58] <Jack_Sparrow> CrAzY-181: I would assume nano...
[03:58] <ubuntufreak> How to install Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars 1.4 in ubuntu 7.10
[03:58] <achandrashekar> Dezine: Id check for support of wireless chipset
[03:58] <MasterShrek> but its not extremely simple either
[03:58] <Jack_Sparrow> !editors
[03:58] <ubotu> Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) | Terminal-based editors: vi/vim, emacs, and nano (user-friendly). | HTML/CSS editors: !html | Programming: !code
[03:58] <nickrud> awmcclain: /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts
[03:58] <achandrashekar> Dezine: but for the most part im really happy with my vaio
[03:58] <nickrud> !code > nickrud
[03:58] <awmcclain> nickrud: ty!
[03:58] <ManicMechE> achandrashekar: I think there may just be a problem with my cd drive?  it's being very stubborn about booting from any CD, I can only boot from the Leopard disc by holding option and selecting it.
[03:58] <nails> it will be your hosts file or dns depending on your nsswitch.conf file
[03:58] <fotoflo> hmm i just installed swat -- what do i have to do to get it working?
[03:58] <fotoflo> i cant even find it
[03:59] <MasterShrek> !swat
[03:59] <ubotu> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[03:59] <achandrashekar> ManicMechE: you could do this..maybe? - plug in another drive to the ide, supply power, boot, and then try...once installed...uninstall the new drive??
[03:59] <MasterShrek> hmm
[03:59] <Dezine> It's that or a used mac, just not interesting in a Windows laptop.
[03:59] <nickrud> Dezine: I've been very happy with my $600us gateway mt64xx
[04:00] <nickrud> Dezine: ati graphics though. Don't expect blazing 3d
[04:00] <Dezine> hm
[04:00] <achandrashekar> nickrud: yep they work well.. it has the bcm43xx card right??
[04:00] <Jack_Sparrow> fotoflo: go to terminal and type swat... see what happens
[04:00] <Dezine> Yeah, I would like to be able to use compiz.
[04:00] <achandrashekar> nickrud: the mx7118 was my old laptop :)
[04:00] <nickrud> achandrashekar: yeah, and all the keys work!!
[04:00] <mikeylikesit5805> does "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" pretty much reinstall ubuntu,
[04:00] <serenecloud> anyone had any experience with gutsy and vservers?
[04:00] <achandrashekar> Dezine: running compiz and vmware workstation for linux simultaneously..all flawless.
[04:00] <Dezine> All it will be for is blogging, surfing the web and a little GIMP.
[04:01] <nickrud> mikeylikesit5805: no, it doesn't. It only installs the stuff in it's list if the stuff is missing from your system
[04:01] <Dezine> Of course videos and such, no gaming and such.
[04:01] <ManicMechE> achandrashekar: unfortunately I don't have a spare lying around that might fit.  trying an external drive...
[04:01] <Dezine> and such lol
[04:01] <mikeylikesit5805> nickrud i need to reinstall my video card what do i have to do to do that
[04:01] <misslecommand> !wireless
[04:01] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:01] <fotoflo> Jack_Sparrow:  nothing happens
[04:02] <nickrud> mikeylikesit5805: what video card?
[04:02] <Jack_Sparrow> fotoflo: Does synaptic show it was installed?
[04:02] <achandrashekar> ManicMechE: oh cool..so that is off of USB..what combo keys do you use for that..or does the system just know to boot off that..??
[04:02] <Dezine> What about the macbooks? They run Ubuntu well, or at all?
[04:02] <greentea> Is it possible i use my installed ubuntu on desktop hard drive and boot it in a laptop?
[04:02] <achandrashekar> dezine: powerpc...yep...no issues
[04:03] <fotoflo> Jack_Sparrow: no synaptic
[04:03] <achandrashekar> dezine: or is that powerbook...i cant keep up anymore
[04:03] <mikeylikesit5805> sorry, let me explain, i have a laptop that had no cd rom, a working network (now) but what i had to to do to get xubuntu on it was to install in on a another laptop they switch hardrives and now the video card is not right any ideas
[04:03] <Dezine> Well macbook has an intel chip so as long as the hardware is compatible I'd imagine that it works.
[04:03] <Dezine> powerbook had the ppc
[04:03] <mikeylikesit5805> x wont start rather and the font is huge
[04:03] <achandrashekar> Dezine: there you go
[04:03] <fotoflo> Jack_Sparrow apt-get says its installed though
[04:04] <achandrashekar> Dezine: HOWEVER....i heard that flash support sucks still
[04:04] <yanger> hiya, I was wondering if this was possible or not.. i want to do a quick upgrade on a PC that is not currently running ubuntu. The only thing is that I can't access the computer until I go to the site. I was hoping to install it to a hard drive via another computer (different specs and all) and just swap hard drives.. possible? or would there be major hardware conflicts?
[04:04] <achandrashekar> Dezine: if you dont care about flash..then go for it
[04:04] <nickrud> mikeylikesit5805: ah, it should be a simple fix to get started, anyway.  In the console, run   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg && sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start , you should get X up and running with that
[04:04] <fotoflo> Jack_Sparrow: when i run swat it looks like something is running, but nothing happens
[04:04] <Dezine> I'm sure I have my options, I'm sure I'll get the best one I can find at the cheapest price, not much money to throw around.
[04:05] <donkdonk> yanger: that would have major problems. /dev/ would be all messed up
[04:05] <fotoflo> Jack_Sparrow: where does it install to?
[04:05] <Dezine> ne who thanks for the chat
[04:05] <Jack_Sparrow> fotoflo: You might want to read up on swat....
[04:05] <mikeylikesit5805> nickrud: thanks, i am currently on the last little bit of reinstalling (ubuntu-desktop) so when that is finished i will try that thanks alot, i will let you know
[04:05] <yanger> donkdonk so the only way is to go there and do a install and update via the net? there must be an easier way...
[04:05] <nickrud> mikeylikesit5805: ok
[04:05] <achandrashekar> yanger: no cdrom ??
[04:06] <yanger> achandrashekar there is, just slow online update and i didn't want to spend hours there doing install and update
[04:06] <greentea> Is it possible i use my installed ubuntu on desktop hard drive and boot it in a laptop? Is it even possible
[04:06] <nickrud> yanger: that works many times, ubuntu dynamically determines the hardware during startup. The only issue you're certain to have is X
[04:07] <yanger> nickrud hmm.. maybe i could do a slim install and install x later?
[04:07] <yanger> just install the mini.iso? remotely access and install the rest?
[04:07] <nickrud> yanger: on the other machine,  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg will create a new xorg.conf based on the hardware in that machine.
[04:07] <ManicMechE> achandrashekar: it's an 1eee 1394 drive.  same key combos apply, but I'm still unable to boot from the install cd.
[04:08] <ManicMechE> ieee
[04:08] <achandrashekar> yanger: or be bold..and build yourself a pxe boot server of some sort...get a switch..and install??
[04:08] <achandrashekar> ManicMechE: maybe reburn that CD??
[04:08] <yanger> achandrashekar wouldn't be possible..
[04:08] <achandrashekar> yanger: hmmmm...interesting problem. though.
[04:08] <yanger> achandrashekar the other pc is about 120 miles away :|
[04:09] <achandrashekar> ahh...lol
[04:09] <yanger> pxe over internet i dunno..
[04:09] <achandrashekar> yanger: yeah...here is one ive been pondering - http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_pxe_install_server
[04:09] <fotoflo> hmm swat seems pretty useless
[04:10] <fotoflo> got it running though
[04:10] <yanger> so sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg would reconfigure it... /dev/ wouldn't be re-generated or is there a command to regenerate /dev/ ?
[04:10] <fotoflo> needed to install netkit-inetd
[04:10] <achandrashekar> yanger: just a thought...even installing it on a laptop..with with ubuntu, the iso image and a small switch..and wham a portable installer of sorts.
[04:10] <nickrud> yanger: /dev is generated dynamically based on hardware
[04:11] <nickrud> yanger: so to answer the question, no need to issue a command, it will be done :)
[04:11] <mikeylikesit5805> nickrud: once i have typed that in should i restart
[04:11] <yanger> nickrud.. cool..
[04:11] <misslecommand> wow!, this IRC much better than the other ones i tried :)
[04:11] <nickrud> mikeylikesit5805: do you have a really bad looking X running now?
[04:11] <punkshui> hello. i just restored my root partition using a backup made in partimage and upon restart I get a grub hard disk failure. any suggestions?
[04:11] <mikeylikesit5805> no its still text
[04:11] <yanger> ok, thanks for the feedback. gonna enjoy this.. ;)
[04:11] <xLE> okay, i now fully have java6 installed(plugin..etc) and i still can't view java applets(firefox).. it says "click here to download plugin" which shows.. "java 6 plugin(i have it installed)", "java 5 plugin", some "gcj plugins".
[04:12] <nickrud> mikeylikesit5805: then type that, it should take you directly to the login screen
[04:12] <mikeylikesit5805> ok h/o
[04:12] <vIkSiT> lo all
[04:12] <nickrud> xLE: did you do the sudo update-alternatives --config java , and choose sun?
[04:12] <darkkith> greets
[04:13] <xLE> not yet
[04:13] <misslecommand> when people speak of "X" what are they referring to? google hits on that are insane
[04:13] <xLE> i had to restart to fix sudo
[04:13] <vIkSiT> i accidentally deleted the /etc/tomcat directory - is there any way i can get the scripts et al back using apt-get?
[04:13] <osxdude> !stats
[04:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about stats - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:13] <osxdude> ...
[04:13] <nickrud> xLE: that's why I was smacking my head, it's the right fix :)
[04:13] <punkshui> hello. i just restored my root partition using a backup made in partimage and upon restart I get a grub hard disk failure. any suggestions?
[04:13] <xLE> ah
[04:13] <darkkith> argh, this hdtv 1920x1080 thing is getting under my skin.  anyone here get 1920x1080 on a lcd-tv ?  i cannot seem to get better than 1280x1024 on my 46" samsung
[04:13] <xLE> sorry lol
[04:13] <Chamunks> Would someone be able to refer me to a good guide to setting up a http server within my desktop (gutsy32bit).
[04:14] <nickrud> vIkSiT: did you do any custom stuff in that directory?
[04:14] <gyaresu> Could someone tell me if there is an 8800gt bug. I'm experience and just need the basics. Thanks.
[04:14] <achandrashekar> misslecommand: in laymans terms the Graphical User interface..its much more complicated as you dwelve into it
[04:14] <vIkSiT> nickrud, except for having changd some conf files - which i can do again - nope
[04:14] <vIkSiT> changed*
[04:14] <th0r> Chamunks look for apache howtos in google
[04:14] <Chamunks> And I've tried installing lighthttpd and apache and i need to clean them up completely before i try installing again.
[04:14] <nickrud> gyaresu: the nvidia drivers in ubuntu don't handle the 8800gt, you need the nvidia site driver
[04:14] <xLE> nickrud, it still doesn't work.. still says "Click here to download plugin"
[04:14] <th0r> Chamunks just remove lighthttpd....leave apache, if necessary reinstall it.
[04:15] <nickrud> xLE: you sure you chose sun?
[04:15] <gyaresu> nickrud: cheers.
[04:15] <Chamunks> th0r, i find it ends up keeping all my settings even if i reinstall
[04:15] <Chamunks> unless there is a better way to reinstall than sudo aptitude remove (etc)
[04:15] <bmrw> Chamunks - try http://www.lullabot.com/videocast/install-local-web-server-ubuntu
[04:15] <nickrud> vIkSiT: sudo aptitude purge <tomcat packages> && sudo aptitude install <tomcat packages> will rebuild the /etc/tomcat
[04:15] <mikeylikesit5805> nickrud: you are my hero, you dont know how much time i have spent on this, thanks a bunch
[04:15] <gyaresu> nickrud: Can I ask a favour. I'm in irssi under screen. Post me a link could you? Would appreciate it.
[04:15] <xLE> nickrud, positive.
[04:15] <vIkSiT> ah
[04:15] <vIkSiT> nickrud, thanks, i'll check it out
[04:16] <nickrud> gyaresu: a sec
[04:16] <gyaresu> nickrud: Thanks.
[04:16] <th0r> Chamunks the fact that it keeps the settings is good...keeps you from losing info on an upgrade. Once you have apache installed, even with bad settings, google for an apache howto and it will take you through setting it up
[04:16] <arthur37854> um,wow
[04:16] <punkshui> hello. i just restored my root partition using a backup made in partimage and upon restart I get a grub hard disk failure. any suggestions?
[04:16] <arthur37854> no
[04:16] <Chamunks> th0r, i know its a good thing i just want to find out how to cleanly reinstall.
[04:16] <maxagaz> firefox often closes unexpectedly, does someone knows why and how to solve the problem ?
[04:16] <th0r> Chamunks give me a sec
[04:17] <nickrud> gyaresu: 32bit?
[04:17] <gyaresu> yup
[04:17] <th0r> Chamunks gotta access my ubuntu server via remote
[04:17] <nails> punkshui - what is the acutal error?
[04:17] <Chamunks> th0r, yay for ssh!
[04:17] <punkshui> nails when it boots it says GRUB GRUB Hard Disk Failure in the top left of the screen
[04:17] <Carbonflux> has anyone used mplayer in amd64 7.10 ?
[04:17] <nickrud> gyaresu: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.07.html
[04:17] <CrAzY-181> hey guys it would seem that au.archive.ubuntu.com is down
[04:17] <Chamunks> bmrw, Checking it out...
[04:17] <th0r> Chamunks ssh with X forwarding! got synaptic right here on my suse laptop
[04:17] <misslecommand> !ndiswrapper
[04:17] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:18] <ManicMechE> achandrashekar: burned and verified again, still not booting.  md5 checks out too.  I think it might just be time for a new laptop.  I've used this thing just about every day for the past five years, four of them carrying it around at college, and it's falling apart.
[04:18] <bmrw> maxagaz - I saw this  - helped out another Firefox problem I saw  - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=312136
[04:18] <ManicMechE> thanks anyway
[04:18] <Chamunks> Nice
[04:18] <Chamunks> th0r, nice :P
[04:18] <maxagaz> bmrw: thanks :)
[04:18] <th0r> Chamunks in synaptic, right click on apache and choose Mark for Complete Removal...should take out all configs
[04:18] <gyaresu> nickrud: wickid. great work.
[04:18] <nickrud> gyaresu: yw
[04:18] <achandrashekar> ManicMechE: Ive never done this...but having enough of a boot.img to boot off of net?? on ppc?? ive never done it but..last option??
[04:18] <th0r> Chamunks same for lighthttpd
[04:19] <Chamunks> Ok that sounds good.
[04:19] <xLE> nickrud, "Using `/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java' to provide `java'."
[04:19] <achandrashekar> ManicMechE: and then literally put it on a usb??
[04:19] <Chamunks> th0r, well thats simpler than i thought.
[04:19] <achandrashekar> pen
[04:19] <nickrud> xLE: hm, a sec I want to look at som links
[04:19] <bmrw> sure thing max
[04:19] <nails> I am wandering if you have fix the mbr. does it error to a grub prompt, root prompt, or just hang?
[04:20] <morphine> hey folks, when I start gnome and xfce I am getting the message that it "could not lookup the internet address for [machine name]" and then it suggests that I modify /etc/hosts to fix it
[04:20] <punkshui> nails it just hangs
[04:20] <morphine> But as far as I can tell, /etc/hosts is just fine, and the error persists
[04:20] <erawfish> morphine: what is in your /etc/hosts ?
[04:20] <erawfish> morphine: pastebin it
[04:20] <nails> if you have nothing to loose you could try reinstalling the boot record... Can you boot off a live CD and see the drives with fdisk -l?
[04:21] <nickrud> xLE: I forgot, I'm running 64bit so I don't have the java plugin set up as ubuntu does ....
[04:21] <morphine> erawfish: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52107/
[04:21] <morphine> erawfish: but I have tried a number of different things, all of which have failed
[04:21] <achandrashekar> anyone use Reconstructor to roll their own ISO??
[04:21] <xLE> =[
[04:22] <erawfish> morphine: and what does "hostname" say?
[04:22] <punkshui> nails well i backed up my root partition when i had it set the way i wanted it.. then i cleared my drives and reinstalled os x .. then i did a dual boot and just tried to restore my root partition via the partimage image.
[04:22] <morphine> backend
[04:22] <Chamunks> th0r, i dont know why but apache2 is not showing up in the gui but it does in the cli.
[04:22] <punkshui> nails i'm not sure reinstalling the MBR is such a good idea.
[04:22] <erawfish> morphine: you only have ONE <IP_ADDRESS> line. not two. you can put localhost and backen on a single line
[04:22] <morphine> erawfish: I have tried that and it didn't work
[04:22] <fsanlu> how do we make sure one device is unmounted and ready to be plugged? for instance my USB flash drive when i click on unmount doesnt really unmount (as the light doesnt turn off) and so that thing where if you dont safely remove devices, it wont mount when i plug it in... any thoughts?
[04:23] <jawnv6> how do I safely add a group?
[04:23] <erawfish> morphine: answer my question please
[04:23] <nickrud> xLE: just shows how well the 64bit is running these days, that I could forget :)
[04:23] <th0r> Chamunks give me a sec
[04:23] <erawfish> punkshui: mac?
[04:23] <morphine> erawfish: sorry, I think I missed your question
[04:23] <punkshui> erawfish yup
[04:23] <erawfish> morphine: hostname output
[04:23] <Chamunks> nickrud, Good to see you again, still keepin up with the high octane advice i see.
[04:23] <ephesius> could someone walk me through setting up gutsy with encrypted filesystem but with a seperate home partition?
[04:23] <nails> The only time have I seen issues with grub as been mbr related and with raid setups. Have you tried google to see if anyone else has had the same problem.
[04:23] <nickrud> erawfish: the way ubuntu is doing it now is <IP_ADDRESS> has localhost , and <IP_ADDRESS> has the hostname
[04:23] <morphine> erawfish: hostname reports backend
[04:24] <Chamunks> th0r, thanks
[04:24] <erawfish> punkshui: don't overwrite your MBR. you don't use normal booting, Macs use EFI. one way is elilo for example. but there are numerous houtows. ie google for macbook and linux and such
[04:24] <nickrud> Chamunks: heh. Tonight is not necessarily indicative
[04:24] <punkshui> nails a google search for the actual error gets nothing
[04:24] <misslecommand> !raid
[04:24] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[04:24] <erawfish> nickrud: sure but his doesn't show it that way. and I think it's ugly :)
[04:24] <punkshui> erawfish i use refit ... but when i try to boot ubuntu i get a hard disk failure.
[04:25] <erawfish> punkshui: exact error message please
[04:25] <erawfish> and the point at whihc it occurs
[04:25] <xLE> anyone have any idea why my java won't work for a java applet using firefox?
[04:25] <nails> away be back in 5
[04:25] <nickrud> erawfish: so do I, but I changed it to the normal expected thing, then something messed with it and I had no hostname resolution. Really sucks when gnome apps take a minute to open, so I surrendered
[04:25] <erawfish> xLE: which java is installed?
[04:25] <punkshui> erawfish it's the first thing that happens. instead of saying GRUB Loading Stage 1.5... it says GRUB GRUB Hard Disk Failure
[04:26] <CrAzY-181> anyone know of a light weight x desktop for server 7.10?
[04:26] <xLE> erawfish, sun-java-6
[04:26] <erawfish> xLE: jre?
[04:26] <morphine> nickrud: you suggest that after the <IP_ADDRESS> line I put in one that read <IP_ADDRESS> backend ?
[04:26] <Chamunks> nickrud, I suppose.
[04:26] <nickrud> morphine: that's the way ubuntu installs it now, and as I said, I conformed
[04:26] <Chamunks> nickrud, i just saw ya on n figured id say hi.
[04:27] <th0r> Chamunks if apache shows in the cli you can use apt-get remove <package> to get rid of it, but I don't see an option to delete the config files.
[04:27] <nickrud> Chamunks: lol, that was an attempt at humility :)
[04:27] <xLE> erawfish, jre and plugin and a few other things
[04:27] <morphine> nickrud: same error :(
[04:27] <Chamunks> nickrud, thats fair :P
[04:27] <nickrud> morphine: does /etc/hostname match?
[04:28] <morphine> nickrud: yeah, it does
[04:28] <th0r> Chamunks better...use 'dpkg purge apache2'
[04:28] <th0r> Chamunks that should erase the configs also
[04:28] <^A^kira> how i make new directory from console?
[04:28] <erawfish> ^A^kira: mkdir
[04:28] <Chamunks> th0r, ill try that one
[04:28] <^A^kira> tnx
[04:28] <nickrud> morphine: and  hostname   in a terminal matches also?
[04:28] <erawfish> th0r: what won't purge apache2 at all. apache2 is a metapackage
[04:29] <morphine> nickrud: yes, it sure does
[04:29] <th0r> erawfish ok....how can he kill apache2 and the configs for it?
[04:29] <ephesius> anyone know how to setup encrypted lvm in gutsy with root, swap, and home all encrypted
[04:29] <Carbonflux> has anyone experienced bad frame rates using mplayer in amd64 7.10 while playing windows or real media streams over the net  ?
[04:29] <morphine> nickrud: the only weird thing I noticed is that /etc/resolv.conf points at my router, which obviously cannot resolve domain names
[04:29] <jack-desktop> what's the best gtk 2.x theme? :)
[04:29] <morphine> nickrud: but that file contains a warning not to mess with it, so I didn't
[04:29] <punkshui> erawfish what can i do? any ideas?
[04:29] <nickrud> morphine: ok, since I came in late and spouted off (remember that humility line earlier? I forget the action often) what is exactly the problem? And routers usually do provide dns
[04:30] <th0r> erawfish Chamunks apt-get can handle the metapackage right?
[04:30] <^A^kira> and the next question, how do i add ntfs-3g fs?
[04:30] <erawfish> th0r: it won't
[04:30] <Darkmystere> Can some 1 help im trying to install Awn and if i pick Y or N When do i want to continue it just says Abort..
[04:30] <morphine> nickrud: when I start gnome or xfce I get an error saying it can't look up the internet name of [machine name] and that perhaps I should check /etc/hosts
[04:30] <morphine> nickrud: [machine name] being, in my case, backend
[04:31] <th0r> erawfish well, he says it doesn't show in synaptic....how does he go about removing it?
[04:31] <erawfish> usually. autoremove might but the usual way is/was to purge apache2.2-common
[04:31] <nickrud> !hostname | morphine (check the steps in this link)
[04:31] <ubotu> morphine (check the steps in this link): Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab
[04:31] <erawfish> th0r: dpkg -l |grep apache to first check if and what is installed
[04:31] <th0r> erawfish ok...I had the package wrong <smile>. I should get a point for being close
[04:31] <morphine> nickrud: yeah, I've done that, but I don't really have access to the the gui
[04:31] <erawfish> ntfs-3g | ^A^kira:
[04:32] <Aranel> i installed "libgpod2", am i need libgpod1 ?
[04:32] <^A^kira> !ntfs-3g | ^A^kira
[04:32] <nickrud> morphine: if after it does that,  type in a terminal and paste everything, including all commands:  cat /etc/hostname && hostname && cat /etc/hosts
[04:32] <erawfish> th0r: "close" doesn't cut it for apt-get I'm afraid
[04:32] <th0r> Chamunks did you get all that?
[04:32] <megatog615> Does anyone know who the package maintainer is for Tremulous?
[04:32] <wenbo> yun
[04:32] <Brokerer> how do u guys like kde 4?
[04:32] <^A^kira> erm... didn't work
[04:32] <Chamunks> th0r, scrolls up...
[04:32] <^A^kira> again plz? :)
[04:32] <erawfish> megatog615: apt-cache show tremulous will tell you. complete with mail addy and everything
[04:32] <soldats> !ntfs-3g
[04:32] <^A^kira> Brokerer -> it crashed my system
[04:32] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[04:32] <megatog615> cool
[04:32] <megatog615> thanks

[04:33] <erawfish> !kde4 > Brokerer
[04:33] <^A^kira> soldats -> i under console now and no gui, how can i chack these web site?

[04:33] <ReV> hi everyone
[04:33] <jago> anyone know how to transfer songs into a phone?
[04:33] <erawfish> th0r: if grub can't find itself you will have to reinstall it wherever you installed it
[04:33] <Chamunks> th0r, i havent seen the word metapackage before ... googling...
[04:33] <erawfish> punkshui:if grub can't find itself you will have to reinstall it wherever you installed it
[04:33] <erawfish> ^punonly way
[04:33] <Brokerer> haha just wondering if i should give it a try
[04:33] <th0r> erawfish grub is for someone else <smile>
[04:34] <wenbo> hello
[04:34] <erawfish> Chamunks: it's apckage which is just there to load other packages as dependency
[04:34] <Aranel> i m installed "libgpod2", am i need libgpod1 ?
[04:34] <CrAzY-181> is there anyway to install the gnome x packages off the ubuntu desktop cd onto server?
[04:34] <soldats> ^A^kira, in terminal "w3m www.sitename.com"
[04:34] <^A^kira> tnx
[04:34] <jago> been trying to bluetooth it but it won't work or something, my hardware information reads it as it being plugged in
[04:34] <erawfish> CrAzY-181: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:34] <jago> but i have no idea how to transfer stuff into it
[04:34] <punkshui> erawfish what do you mean? i restored my rootpartition from a partimage backup image and then all of a sudden this error.. what do i have to reinstall?
[04:34] <Chamunks> erawfish, well i do get apache2 out of the repo's
[04:34] <erawfish> punkshui: grub
[04:34] <erawfish> !grub | punkshui
[04:34] <ubotu> punkshui: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:35] <Chamunks> erawfish, i am using the extended repo's from the ubuntuguide wiki.
[04:35] <CrAzY-181> i know that method but i dont have to much bandwith available is there any way to use the desktop cds packages?
[04:35] <erawfish> punkshui: but it will be a bit different than that since your installation is different
[04:35] <th0r> Chamunks metapackage is a pseudonym for a list of packages...like erawfish said...do the dpkg -l |grep apache to get a list of what has to be removed
[04:35] <Smegzor> I am customising my desktop and want to remove the bottom panel without deleting it forever.  Whats the best way?  I have added window list to my top panel and I'm using AWN where my bottom panel sits.
[04:35] <erawfish> Chamunks: I don't care what you use. use the normal ubuntu repos and this will work
[04:35] <morphine> nickrud: it i a mystery - I have scoured google and everything
[04:35] <punkshui> erawfish but i didn't lose grub after i installed os x.. i get a hard disk failure after restoring my ubuntu root partition.. ubuntu worked just fine before that.
[04:35] <soldats> Smegzor, rclick panel and choose no panel for bottom you can always add it back later
[04:35] <jago> =(
[04:35] <punkshui> erawfish refit also worked fine.
[04:36] <punkshui> erawfish and works
[04:36] <Chamunks> erawfish, I dont really know why i felt the need to explain that
[04:36] <erawfish> punkshui: yes you do. since the stage15 of grub is on that rootdisk and now grub can't find it anymore for some reason. reinstall grub
[04:36] <nickrud> morphine: that should work.  It's the standard method.  You can try this in /etc/hosts, it's how mine is set up:  remove backend from the <IP_ADDRESS>  line, and add a line <IP_ADDRESS> backend
[04:36] <erawfish> punkshui: grub is NOT what is in your MBR or wherever. grub is your full /boot/grub/ directory. all of that
[04:36] <th0r> Chamunks I see four packages in apache...apache2.2-common, apache2-doc, apache2-mpm-prefork, and apache2-utils
[04:36] <punkshui> erawfish okay thank you for explaining that to me.
[04:36] <r3n0c> hey, anybody ever setup openssh?  on windows, and use sftp to connect to it
[04:37] <nickrud> morphine: if after that gnome is still saying it can't resolve the problem, it's a gnome problem and not a hostname conf problem
[04:37] <Jangari> anyone use thunderbird on ubuntu? do you fine the unconfigurably large size of the to:, cc: and bcc: section annoying?
[04:37] <Smegzor> soldats: I don't see a no panel option (in the panel itself)  I rclicked it.
[04:37] <Jangari> find*
[04:37] <morphine> nickrud: should /etc/init.d/gdm restart be sufficient to test this?
[04:37] <erawfish> r3n0c: do you have a ubuntu related question NOT starting with "anyone"?
[04:37] <nickrud> morphine: yes
[04:37] <Chamunks> th0r, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52109/
[04:37] <Flannel> r3n0c: install the openssh-server package
[04:37] <soldats> Smegzor, delete the panel or go in properties and do remove it. theres an option in your menu for panl properties to add it back when you need it
[04:38] <r3n0c> Flannel, thanks
[04:38] <Smegzor> ok
[04:38] <erawfish> r3n0c: is windows the ssh client or the ssh servre?
[04:38] <morphine> nickrud: still no dice
[04:38] <Malfist> Can someone tell me if this sound card will work with linux? I can't find anything and SIIG isn't on alsa's compatibility list: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829270003
[04:38] <soldats> Smegzor, havent done it in a while but just delete it, the panel properties will bring it back in the future
[04:38] <nickrud> morphine: ok. Then the next step is to create a new user, and try logging in as that user.
[04:39] <erawfish> morphine: which gnome program is complaining btw?
[04:39] <nickrud> morphine: sudo adduser  <name>
[04:39] <th0r> Chamunks checking ...give me a sec
[04:39] <morphine> erawfish: no program in particular, I see the message when gnome or xfce starts
[04:39] <morphine> nickrud: okie
[04:39] <nickrud> morphine: or xfce? then it's not gnome specific ...
[04:39] <Smegzor> ok done.  I'd also like AWN to auto start.  Where do I do that?
[04:40] <erawfish> Chamunks: purge with apt-get apache2.2-common
[04:40] <erawfish> nickrud: sorta. xfce uses gtk just like gnome
[04:40] <nickrud> erawfish: yeah, I'm thinking .gnome* or gconf
[04:40] <th0r> Chamunks ok...those four are the packages you need to remove. I believe dpkg purge apache2, dpkg purge apache2-mpm-worker, dpkg purge apache2-utils...get the idea?
[04:40] <Malfist> Can someone tell me if this sound card will work with linux? I can't find anything and SIIG isn't on alsa's compatibility list: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829270003
[04:40] <Flannel> Chamunks: sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-mpm-worker
[04:40] <rudi_> ha;o
[04:40] <morphine> nickrud: same problem with a new user
[04:41] <rudi_> heloooo
[04:41] <th0r> Flannel really! the man page seemed to indicate purge was used instead of remove...must be getting old <smile>
[04:42] <nickrud> morphine: the last thing I can think of is libc's resolver is somehow screwed up. Try a reboot, see if that clears it.
[04:42] <Chamunks> th0r, Flannel beautiful thank you very much I havent needed to do this before so i didnt know where to start besides aptitude remove
[04:42] <Flannel> th0r: No, purge is a flag
[04:42] <Cpudan80> Does anyone know if it is possible to change the battery charge threshold for laptop batteries?
[04:42] <morphine> nickrud: I've restarted a few times to no avail, but I'll ive it another try
[04:42] <Cpudan80> I got a new battery -- and want ubuntu to only charge if it is lower than say... 50%
[04:42] <nickrud> morphine: dadddddfsasfdasgagasgd
[04:42] <erawfish> Flannel: removing the -common package is enough
[04:43] <th0r> Flannel one more note for my files <smile>
[04:43] <erawfish> Flannel: nowadays it's a command of apt-get too
[04:43] <Flannel> erawfish: mm, you're right.  worker doesn't have anything in it.
[04:43] <morphine> nickrud: yeah, seriously... this is a real hassle, and to make matters worse, the first few times I booted the machine ther ewas no trouble
[04:43] <morphine> nickrud: this problem popped up recently
[04:44] <Andrew250> Hello all.  I'm new to Ubuntustudio and I'm having troubles connecting to my wireless network via a MS USB adapter.  For some reason I ubuntu shows the device as a wired connection.  Can anyone help me?
[04:44] <Lokii-> i am having some probs with xchat if anyone can help me ... everytime i close xchat the fish.so module gets unloaded and i can't figure out why
[04:44] <th0r> erawfish  but if you don't remove worker doesn't it stay in the db? It will show as installed even though there is nothing there?
[04:44] <wenbo> hello
[04:44] <morphine> nickrud: aaanndd... reboot didn't help
[04:44] <nickrud> morphine: I can see that. I'm gonna try google for a few minutes
[04:44] <Flannel> erawfish: Since when?  I can't see it on any online man pages.
[04:44] <nickrud> morphine: what's the exact error message?
[04:44] <jago> anyone?
[04:45] <Chamunks> erawfish, thanks
[04:45] <Chamunks> Flannel, thanks
[04:45] <Chamunks> th0r, thanks
[04:45] <morphine> nickrud: Could not look up internet address for backend. This will prevent gnome from working properly. It may be possible to correct the problem by adding backend to the file /etc/hosts
[04:46] <Flannel> th0r: worker depends on common, so it'll get removed, but any config wont
[04:47] <erawfish> Flannel: apache configs are in common. the directories for it. they get removed

[04:47] <brenix> need help installing a bitmap font. my output from xlsfonts shows: xlsfonts |grep prog
[04:47] <brenix> -fontforge-progsole-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-c-0-iso8859-1
[04:48] <Flannel> erawfish: mpm-worker has no config files, but technically they are still left on the system.
[04:48] <Andrew250> Hello all.  I'm new to Ubuntustudio and I'm having troubles connecting to my wireless network via a MS USB adapter.  For some reason I ubuntu shows the device as a wired connection.  Can anyone help me?
[04:49] <Flannel> erawfish: actually, there might be one file from mpm-worker that is still there, I'm not really sure.
[04:49] <brenix> andrew: where do you see that it shows as a wired connection
[04:49] <erawfish> Flannel: check what dpkg -l says after you purged common. I doubt it says "rc"
[04:50] <erawfish> Andrew250: what does iwconfig says?
[04:50] <wtfbrb> anyone here have trouble accessing their shares on the host machine when using virtualbox?
[04:51] <cr4> hi all, does anybody here know the way to make a turn on on the machine automatically ?
[04:51] <Andrew250> no wireless extensions
[04:51] <jetscreamer> pxe boot
[04:51] <Andrew250> erawfish: no wireless extensions
[04:51] <Flannel> erawfish: I'd need to have a version of apache with the lintain stuff.  Like I said, I'm unsure.
[04:52] <wtfbrb> turn on automatically?
[04:52] <cr4> wtfbrb: yeah tur on automatically !!!
[04:53] <jack-desktop> what's the best gtk 2.x theme? :)
[04:53] <nickrud> morphine: everything I find says what we did was the fix ...
[04:53] <olddude67> what all comes with the ubuntu's dvd iso?
[04:53] <AnAnt> Hello, I need to connect to a Ubuntu machine using VNC, but I want the vnc clients to get a login window, how should I configure vnc server to do that ?
[04:53] <wtfbrb> you mean like when the toilet flushes?
[04:53] <morphine> nickrud: I know...
[04:53] <Flannel> olddude67: A live system, the textmode installer, and extra packages
[04:53] <brenix> andrew: do you know if ms provides linux drivers for the card?
[04:54] <dsnyders> AnAnt, I think vnc does that by default
[04:54] <cr4> wtfbrb: lol not man just I want to turn on the pc, forexample at 6:00 AM
[04:54] <Andrew250> don't know, it's not a card its a usb device but I guess I could find out
[04:54] <nickrud> morphine: I did find this, which is similar (with an example) but there was no resolution given. http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?t=145107 One machine worked, the other didn't
[04:54] <AnAnt> dsnyders: actually what I got is a blank X window, just with Ubuntu's background image
[04:54] <olddude67> Flannel so it will come with a textmode installer? good that is what i wanted to know,cause for some reason the cd's just hang on my system and dont want to run right.
[04:55] <AnAnt> dsnyders: no login screen
[04:55]  * LumBuntu is away: I'm busy
[04:55] <Flannel> olddude67: Have you tried the alternate CD?
[04:55] <brenix> andrew: to me, it sounds like ubuntu doesn't recognize it which means you may need to compile the drivers. just a guess though
[04:55] <Flannel> !away > LumBuntu
[04:55] <olddude67> Flannel have tried alt. cd and ubuntu cd and the kubuntu cd, and they all do it, so i was hoping the dvd would work better.
[04:56] <wtfbrb> ah, so you want the internal clock to boot at a certain time?
[04:56] <Andrew250> brenix: I do see the device and proper model under the device manager
[04:56] <morphine> nickrud: it is extremely frustrating because I really can't click to make the message go away either
[04:56] <dsnyders> AnAnt, Is someone logged into the machine?
[04:56] <cr4> wtfbrb: yeah !, is there a way to make it ?
[04:56] <morphine> nickrud: in fact, no matter which option I click on, nothing happens
[04:56] <AnAnt> dsnyders: erm, I don't think so
[04:56] <wtfbrb> make your own bios?
[04:56] <Flannel> olddude67: Yeah, the DVD is the alternate CD, although I'm not sure it'll work any better.  Check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation  maybe there'll be some other method you can use if the DVD doesnt work
[04:56] <AnAnt> dsnyders: can't more than 1 login to the machine using VNC ?
[04:56] <morphine> nickrud: although I can start programs by ssh-ing in starting them
[04:57] <nickrud> morphine: I'm at a loss. You have a good hostname setup.
[04:57] <olddude67> Flannel, ok thanks for the help.
[04:57] <cr4> wtfbrb: the problem is that I'll use a old machine as a mail server, but I nned to make it, because I dont know when the energy died, do you know what I mean ?
[04:57] <nickrud> morphine: and that's supposed to fix it :(
[04:57] <dsnyders> AnAnt, I haven't tried that.  I just use it to get to my desktop when I'm on my laptop.
[04:58] <swuboo> I've got a problem with logging out of Gnome, if anyone might know anything about that.
[04:58] <logankoester> I get "Desktop effects cannot be enabled" now but compiz worked just fine from the livecd, how can this be resolved?
[04:58] <AnAnt> dsnyders: yes, that works, but that's not what I want
[04:58] <brenix> andrew: i found a possible solution from google. try running sudo apt-get install linux-wlan-ng. Ubuntu should already have it, but its worth a try
[04:58] <dsnyders> AnAnt, I have to put in a username/password to establish the connection.
[04:58] <AnAnt> dsnyders: I'm running the ubuntu machine as a server
[04:58] <rapiddemon> hey can somebody help me solve a problem im having with sleep mode?
[04:58] <morphine> nickrud: I know. Thanks for your help
[04:58] <Andrew250> brenix: thanks
[04:58] <wtfbrb> nned?
[04:58] <cr4> ?
[04:58] <olddude67> Flannel what is weird is i got the cd for kubuntu to work in vmware, but it wont on the install of its own? maybe the ubuntu regulare desktop is not letting it run right?
[04:59] <Ereal2> is it possible to run compiz with ati  drivers
[04:59] <Andrew250> brenix: couldn't find package
[04:59] <olddude67> Flannel, maybe i should just wipe the hard drive and start from scratch if this doesnt work with the dvd.
[05:00] <swuboo> If I try to click the Logout button in Gnome, nothing comes up and I lose all ability to interact with any windows or the desktop, short of Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.
[05:00] <Flannel> olddude67: The installed system should have no affect on the CD booting
[05:00] <julabask> Ereal2, i run compiz with ati drivers why would it be impossible. they did not specifically make compiz for nvidia.
[05:00] <brenix> andrew: hm ok, interesting. Im running gutsy, and i'm able to see it/its already installed..
[05:00] <greentea> Do you guys leave your computer morning all day long?
[05:00] <olddude67> Flannel, that is what i thought as well, it should just load as a live cd right?
[05:00] <Ereal2> coool
[05:01] <Ereal2> now do you know of a good tutorial that will help me do that
[05:01] <dehspehl> julabask: well, ati drivers are well known for being, well, not very good
[05:01] <Lokii-> i am having some probs with xchat if anyone can help me ... everytime i close xchat the fish.so module gets unloaded and i can't figure out why
[05:01] <dsnyders> AnAnt, I'm sorry,  I don't know VNC well enough to know if it works as a remote x server.
[05:01] <Ereal2> anyone at all please im at my witsend
[05:01] <Andrew250> I'm using gutsy but the ubuntustudio version
[05:01] <AnAnt> dsnyders: ok, thanks
[05:01] <julabask> dehsphel, i agree very hard to install with out them being buggy but once they are good they work as well
[05:01] <Andrew250> brenix: I'm using gutsy but the ubuntustudio version
[05:01] <mrtubby> I am attempting to delete my ldap database in 7.10, the tubes are telling me to go to the directory that holds the database and rm * that guy then start slapd back up.  However when i do that ldap wont recognize my credentials anymore, can anyone suggest a solution?
[05:02] <dehspehl> julabask: IMO nvidia and ati are about equally flawed
[05:02] <dsnyders> AnAnt, I kind of think it does, though.
[05:02] <grumbel> Is there any easy way (as in apt-get/module-assistant) to get reiserfs4 on Ubuntu?
[05:03] <bkar> grumbel-> file system support is a kernel function that has to be compile into the kernel
[05:03] <dehspehl> bkar: grumbel-> not entirely true, you can build modules of it. BUT you can't run a root of reiserfs4 without
[05:04] <CarlFK> bkar: um, no.  fs support can be loaded as modules
[05:04] <julabask> dehspehl the nvidia driver that came with ubuntu allowed my 7800gtx to run compiz at 200-500fps and the newest 8.44.3 ati that i had to manually install runs at 60fps max so i think nvidia is doing a bit better job
[05:04] <bkar> yeah thats true, compile a loadable kernel
[05:04] <swuboo> No one has any idea what might make the logout button hang gnome?
[05:05] <shoppy123> Quick question here. If I simply copy over my entire filesystem on my ubuntu partition and then reinstall ubuntu and copy over the files will it be exactly as it is now?
[05:05] <test1-ba-pdgin> hi all, I have a big problem with the apt-get system:
[05:05] <bkar> i meant loadable kernel module
[05:05] <grumbel> to make things simple: Its not in the default kernel and adding it would require work, correct?
[05:05] <dehspehl> julabask: well, fps isn't the only measure. seizing up a machine is pretty darn bad
[05:05] <test1-ba-pdgin> I downloaded all of the ubuntu repository and made the Packages.gz file with the dpkg-scanpackages utility but
[05:05] <olddude67> Flannel im going to try again in safe graphics mode and see what happens
[05:05] <test1-ba-pdgin> during downloding my local repository became biger and biger for about 2 weeks . each time I run the dpkg-scanpackages utility I could install more packages from my local repository until from 3 days ago after running it (dpkg-scanpackages) and then "apt-get update" the "apt-get install  ...." after this tells me: "E: Wow, you exceeded the number of versions this APT is capable of."
[05:05] <test1-ba-pdgin> what is my solution ? is the because of a big repository? but I download only from the main repository of ubuntu: "archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu" and thus it must do good without error as when I connect to this main repository from Internet !!!
[05:05] <olddude67> but thanks for the help
[05:05] <julabask> dehspehl, i agree but lucky have not run into that
[05:05] <dehspehl> julabask: I have a geforce go 7600, about every 10 minutes of a graphics intensive game/compiz - SNAP. I couldn't do anything, less ssh into the box (and still couldn't reactivate the video)
[05:05] <shoppy123> apt-get remove
[05:06] <bkar> correct, you have to compile a loadable module
[05:06] <dsnyders> anant, xvnc might be closer to what you're looking for.  http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/xvnc/
[05:06] <swuboo> shoppy: Just a guess, but if you copy over your /entire/ filesystem, that would probably include a lot of config files and such, so that probably would have unfortunate consequences.
[05:06] <test1-ba-pdgin> is there anyone knowing this message: "E: Wow, you exceeded the number of versions this APT is capable of." of apt-get ? :-(
[05:07] <julabask> dehspehl that is very weird because i am able to run games on wine for hours on both computers and never have that problem even linux games are good without crashing
[05:07] <shoppy123> ya but im thinking if i copy over the config files it will be working as it is now. either try that or have a go trying to fix grub
[05:07] <greentea> i freaking love linux
[05:07] <greentea> Do you guys leave your computer morning all day long?
[05:07] <shoppy123> yes
[05:07] <CarlFK> shoppy123: if grub is broke, fix grub.
[05:07] <brenix> andrew: this is about all i can find: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=106700
[05:07] <julabask> dehspehl have you check if anything is weird in you nvidia xconfig file
[05:07] <olddude67> Flannel, its working in safe graphics mode.YEAH
[05:07] <dehspehl> julabask: it's likely hardware, because this machine doesn't even know how to init the video at power-on
[05:08] <dehspehl> julabask: so therefore can't natively run Ubuntu
[05:08] <AnAnt> dsnyders: ok, thanks for the help
[05:08] <swuboo> shoppy:  At that point, why reinstall?
[05:08] <misslecommander> i leave my computer on 24/7, not always to internet though
[05:08] <dehspehl> julabask: (it used to, but something went awry in bios/video bios/primary display adapter/somesuch)
[05:08] <julabask> dehspehl, ouch what type of motherboard is that did you build that or is that just a very unsupportive linux laptop
[05:08] <swuboo> shoppy:  Oh, it's a grub problem?  I'd definitely try to reinstall grub before performing filesystem surgery.
[05:08] <shoppy123> im going to try supergrub
[05:09] <shoppy123> is that a good alternative
[05:09] <dehspehl> julabask: it's in an hp pavilion dv9000, all I know is the bios is Phoenix
[05:09] <test1-ba-pdgin> is the anyone thinking about my above problem ? :-(
[05:09] <Andrew250> brenix: thanks
[05:10] <swuboo> shoppy:  Your guess is as good as mine.  I've never had a problem with grub itself, even dual booting with XP.
[05:10] <dehspehl> shoppy123: if grub doesn't give an error code, and there are lots of messages, it's likely the kernel
[05:10] <olddude67> does anyone know the easiest way to install vmware?
[05:10] <Creed> Quick question, I can install Ubuntu onto a USB drive (hardrive) right?
[05:10] <julabask> dehspehl, yes their motherboards work well with linux in overall compatibility but die very quickly i had a nx4000 and i had to send it in to hp for repair 7 times in one year to replace the mother board
[05:10] <julabask> so i know what your talking about
[05:11] <shoppy123> well whenever i try loading ubuntu from grub i get text on the screen and many lines saying command not found
[05:11] <Creed> And if I install Ubuntu on there using VMWare, can I use that USB drive on a physical machine and have it work fine?
[05:11] <swuboo> Does anyone have any idea why the logout button might hang gnome?
[05:11] <dehspehl> julabask: well my warranty is shot
[05:11] <shoppy123> but i know ubuntu is installed right because it was working up until i tried to install pclinux
[05:11] <dehspehl> julabask: they said "all you have to do is download some windows drivers"
[05:12] <julabask> dehspehl, oh i know and hp warranty is shit and they advertise it a lot but are very tight on their rules i hate them and most people who you talk to on the phone for support barely know anything about computer actually sometimes i question if they even know english
[05:13] <bkar> Creed-> curious, what OS were you running on your vmware when you created the Ubuntu on the usb?
[05:14] <dehspehl> julabask: I am tempted to go the full desktop route, as I now have a mini-notebook
[05:14] <Creed> bkar, Windows
[05:14] <Andrew250> I also have another problem with the same pc.  Whenever something graphical appears on the screen ie the screensaver the computer crashes.  I've just installed ubuntustudio
[05:14] <Creed> bkar, dont have much space on here so want to install to my usb drive
[05:14] <misslecommander> might be a bit difficult to carry around a box :)
[05:14] <julabask>  i have an nc6400 and on xp i got near 4 hours sometimes more like 5 hours of battery life on ubuntu it estimates 2 hours and 30 minutes max and never changes it their some software or drivers to improve this. if i recalibrate the battery by depleating it then recharging it no change
[05:14] <bkar> Creed-> I think that would be okay, not sure if you want it bootable though from USB
[05:15] <dsnyders> Creed, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ has lots of info, but I don't know about installing from vmware
[05:15] <Andrew250> the mouse still works but won't do anything
[05:15] <julabask> dehspehl, if your a gamer then i would definately build a desktop your self last longer and better performance and parts
[05:15] <dehspehl> julabask: acpi might not be working properly
[05:16] <misslecommander> julabask : does it do the same thing in "safemode" ?
[05:16] <greentea> If i leave my [desktop] computer all alone thought out the night, would the computer [idle hard driver, fans, etc] goes off like sleep / hibernate i don't want my computer goes sleep/hibernate when the computer converting videos and downloading
[05:16] <Creed> dserban, yeah I've been reading up on it, just wasnt sure if I could have a true portable OS, as in works on any computer that supports booting from USB.
[05:16] <julabask> dehspehl, i suspected that considering after hibernation computer runs slow and i only ocasionally does the suspend work to
[05:16] <sahil> if ive created an oem image and ran oem-config prepare how can i transport that image to various harddrives?
[05:16] <Creed> dserban, and VMWare since it supports using a physical drive.
[05:17] <misslecommander> maybe turning off power managemnt in your bios settings may help with power issues. as far as laptops, i dont think its such a good idea though
[05:17] <rd> k... guys... so in windows all programs exes are stored in this location c:/programfiles/application .. where all the actual executable files for hte programs in ubuntu or any gui linux?
[05:17] <shoppy123> greentea youll be fine
[05:17] <sahil> rd:/usr/bin
[05:17] <julabask> dehspehl, i have tried safe mode and no difference. awkwardly thought the battery life is always a consistent 2 and half hours while windows would jump around and from my understanding batteries are not consistent
[05:17] <shoppy123> just got done burning super grub
[05:17] <shoppy123> be back in a little
[05:17] <misslecommander> is there a way to view a linux drive/contents from withing windows ?
[05:17] <BlackAura> quick question for someone.....I'm upgrading from an old (think 2006.0) Gentoo machine, and just put a clean install of Gutsy on it.  I've got apache/php working, and I've got postgres working.....unfortunately I'm having problems connecting to postgres through PHP.  If I don't include password='' in the pg_connect string, it fails.  Before all I needed was "dbname='db' user='name'".  Did I miss a config option, or did pg_dumpall, the
[05:17] <BlackAura> n psql -f not insert the old the data properly?
[05:18] <BlackAura> misslecommander: on the same machine dual booting, or a different  machine?  If it's a different machine you can use samba shares
[05:19] <glick> excuse me how come nvu is no longer included in the ubuntu repos?
[05:19] <julabask> dehspehl, i would definately recomend building a computer or go with a business laptop that meets your specifications which is rare to find. they are built better
[05:19] <KarrotCake> misslecommander: yep ive used with this with xp http://www.fs-driver.org/ (an ext3 drive)
[05:19] <astro76> glick: it's called kompozer now
[05:19] <glick> ahh
[05:19] <glick> that would explain it
[05:19] <julabask> dehspehl, i have tried safe mode and no difference. awkwardly thought the battery life is always a consistent 2 and half hours while windows would jump around and from my understanding batteries are not consistent
[05:19] <glick> astro76, why the name change?
[05:19] <julabask> dehspehl, i would definately recomend building a computer or go with a business laptop that meets your specifications which is rare to find. they are built better
[05:20] <flamesage> Anyone here?
[05:20] <misslecommander> yes lots
[05:20] <julabask> i am
[05:20] <julabask> dehspehl, i have tried safe mode and no difference. awkwardly thought the battery life is always a consistent 2 and half hours while windows would jump around and from my understanding batteries are not consistent
[05:20] <julabask>  i have an nc6400 and on xp i got near 4 hours sometimes more like 5 hours of battery life on ubuntu it estimates 2 hours and 30 minutes max and never changes it their some software or drivers to improve this. if i recalibrate the battery by depleating it then recharging it no change
[05:21] <misslecommander> maybe off topic but, anyone know how to stop xChat from reconnecting, after disconnecting ?
[05:22] <swuboo> Is there a seperate channel for GNOME issues?
[05:22] <Onyx> does anybody know where amarok keeps its default icon?
[05:22] <astro76> glick: nvu was undeveloped for a long time, and linspire owns the trademark I think
[05:22] <glick> ah
[05:22] <glick> bums
[05:23] <nickrud> swuboo: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeIrcChannels
[05:23] <crdlb> misslecommander: if you're using Xchat (not xchat-gnome), you could try the #xchat channel
[05:23] <misslecommander> seems to be so many asking about gnone, why so popular ?
[05:24] <scguy318> misslecommander: oh, just happens to be the default DE for Ubuntu
[05:24] <swuboo> misslecommander: Gnome is the default desktop environment for Ubuntu, so I imagine that's why.
[05:24] <julabask> gnome is popular
[05:24] <huff3r> hang five
[05:24] <swuboo> In my case, I'm asking because I can't log out of Gnome without using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, which is beyond annoying.
[05:24] <rd> question?  In windows the desktop icons link to the executable files for a program,... how to the icons work on ubuntu?
[05:25] <swuboo> Well, I can logout if I happen to download an update that requires a reboot.  I just can't do it voluntarily.
[05:25] <misslecommander> i figure i would gather as much info as i could before i played with ubuntu
[05:26] <dsnyders> rd, they work just fine on ubuntu <grin>
[05:26] <swuboo> rd:  They work the same way.
[05:26] <julabask>  i have an nc6400 and on xp i got near 4 hours sometimes more like 5 hours of battery life on ubuntu it estimates 2 hours and 30 minutes max and never changes it their some software or drivers to improve this. if i recalibrate the battery by depleating it then recharging it no change
[05:27] <bullgard4> Gnome teminal reports: "sudo: pam_authenticate: Conversation error; :" There is no prompt. Why can I not terminate this 'conversation' by ^C? How can I terminate this 'conversation'?
[05:27] <misslecommander> julabask, just a shot in the dark but, maybe 2 1/2 hours is considered max, so if it says 2 1/2 hours left, you are probably alright
[05:27] <lolo2> can someone help me when i try to burn a cd in k3b i get the error ubuntu there was an error writing tothe disk unhandled error
[05:27] <fotoflo> hmm i want to add a user with access limited only to my samba server
[05:27] <misslecommander> unhandled error, meaning the program has no handle for that error ?
[05:27] <fotoflo> sudo adduser --disabled-login --group samba --no-create-home userName
[05:27] <fotoflo> ?
[05:28] <fotoflo> didnt work
[05:28] <julabask> misslecommander, it is saying 2 1/2 hours is my maximum but i got twice as long in xp
[05:28] <fotoflo> adduser: Specify only one name in this mode.
[05:28] <swuboo> So, /is/ there a GNOME channel?
[05:28] <fotoflo> anyone?
[05:28] <dehspehl_> swuboo: no, that's really annoying. beyond annoying is not being able to log out of gnome with ctrl-alt-backspace
[05:28] <manu_> What is a good command line irc client for ubuntu?
[05:28] <lolo2> i also get the error cdrecord has no permission to open the device
[05:28] <dehspehl_> manu_: irssi
[05:28] <lolo2> with k3b
[05:28] <Flannel> swuboo: #gnome on irc.gnome.org, I believe.  (that is the server, guess on the channel)
[05:28] <swuboo> dehspehl_: Touché.
[05:28] <manu_> dehspehl_: Thanks I'll try that
[05:29] <Flannel> .lastlog swuboo
[05:29] <swuboo> Flannel: I'll give that a go, thanks.
[05:30] <dsnyders> julabask, misslecommander, the battery monitor in linux is known to under-report charge, and there's no adjustment available yet.
[05:30] <dsnyders> at least as of a couple of months ago.
[05:31] <julabask> dsnyders, thanks but that is dissapointing even if it under-reports does that mean my computer will shut off when it detects 0 even if it is wrong and will their hopefully be a fix for this in the future or next ubuntu
[05:32] <misslecommander> if it never comes off 2 1/2 hours and your computer shuts down, i would think that is when you may need to be concerned
[05:32] <julabask> lol yes but it does count down very quickly though
[05:32] <misslecommander> so it does move then ?
[05:33] <marshall> what would you guys say is the best download manager?
[05:33] <dsnyders> julabask, I'm in the same boat.  My battery runs for 7 hrs in Vista, but only 4 in ubuntu.
[05:33] <Kuroachia> Is it possible to set a moving background image? Like a .gif or some sort?
[05:33] <misslecommander> if in windows it reports double, just double the time linux reports, and that is what you have left. that is, if it moves at all
[05:33] <julabask> yes but to quickly as if it holds a week charge compared to windows which gives me 5 hours
[05:33] <Chamunks> If the default phpmyadmin password is not functioning for me how can i fix that?
[05:33] <julabask> yes but when it hits zero it shuts down the computer
[05:34] <el_taco> is anyone else having problems with flash locking up firefox?
[05:34] <swuboo> Flannel:  Well, there is indeed a room there, and it's got 130 people in it, but none of them seem to be saying anything.
[05:34] <Chamunks> Nevermind...
[05:34] <Chamunks> Retard moment.
[05:34] <misslecommander> julabask : i dont think it is always the OS fault, it could very well be the manufacturer of the battery. look at Sony for instance. they start afire ontop your lap
[05:34] <julabask> dsnyder, misslecommander, i sure hope this gets improved this is the only week part i have run into on ubuntu
[05:34] <misslecommander> maybe thats thier idea of a "hot" laptop
[05:34]  * nickrud moves the laptop down a little
[05:35] <misslecommander> lol
[05:35] <julabask> lol thats why i love how dell gaming computers have fire logos considering they always over heat and have the most cases of catching fire
[05:35] <Patogen> How do I remove the graphical "booting" from ubuntu? I want it to display the modules loading and that sort of stuff instead of the ugly loading thingy
[05:35] <dsnyders> nickrud, wise move :-)
[05:35] <swuboo> Patogen:  You could probably comment out the splash flag in the grub options, but that's just a guess.
[05:36] <james296> hey what do I type in the Removable Drives and Media preferences to use Exaile as the default audio cd player and have the cd automatically play songs?
[05:36] <misslecommander> it all goes so quick, i can barely see what it says before the splash
[05:36] <Andrew250> I also have another problem with the same pc.  Whenever something graphical appears on the screen ie the screensaver the computer crashes.  I've just installed ubuntustudio
[05:36] <astro76> Patogen: in /boot/grub/menu.lst, change # defoptions=quiet splash to # defoptions=nosplash, then sudo update-grub
[05:37] <nickrud> Patogen: sudoedit /boot/grub/menu.lst , find the line #defoptions , and remove the word splash there then save.  Then run sudo update-grub. Next boot, normal text
[05:37] <nickrud> ah, slow again
[05:37] <james296> I have searched and searched online but cant find a answer
[05:37] <julabask> misslecommander, dsnyder, i have a cd with alot of tools from hp to check stuff out and it has a tool to check on the cd when you boot off of it your battery life i will use that as judgement
[05:37] <swuboo> Heh, so I was right, except for not realizing you have to sudo update-grub.
[05:37] <Patogen> Nice thank you astro76 and nickrud :)
[05:37] <swuboo> Good to know.
[05:37] <fotofl0> how do i  set a folder readable by group abc?
[05:38] <paperswans> Can someone who is very knowledgeable with Ubuntu and the fglrx driver please be kind enough to help me?
[05:38] <james296> anyone?
[05:38] <nickrud> fotofl0: chown :<grpname> <folder> && chmod g+r <folder>
[05:38] <dsnyders> julabask, just as an experiment sometime, when ubuntu shuts down due to low battery, see how much charge XP thinks is left.
[05:39] <astro76> fotofl0: chgrp -r abc folder/ && chmod g+r folder/
[05:39] <r3n0c> hey can somebody help me with using the sftp command and openssh
[05:39] <sherl0ck> QUESTION: i need to have a program run automatically after X starts up, with admin rights 'sudo atitvout t' to be exact? any idea??
[05:39] <astro76> fotofl0: the -r option will change all the contents too, so decide if you need that
[05:39] <misslecommander> there you go, check it in windoes after ubuntu shuts down from supposed battery life
[05:39] <telee> when i open a movie it opens but the screen is green with some lines or something... anyone knwo whats up?
[05:40] <r3n0c> i have the private key from my open ssh server, but i dont' know how to use that key in the sftp command
[05:40] <sherl0ck> telee: what media player?
[05:40] <telee> vlc and xine
[05:40] <misslecommander> codec ?
[05:40] <Patogen> In menu.lst grub the defoption is commented out ...
[05:40] <sherl0ck> oh both huh, totem is always an option - wat kind video is it?
[05:40] <telee> misslecommander, i dunno, how do i change it? or find which one it is?
[05:41] <paperswans> I need help I'm having a video driver issue
[05:41] <r3n0c> anyone know how to use a private key in the sftp command
[05:41] <nickrud> Patogen: that's the way it's supposed to be. update-grub uses that line as a template for creating the lines between the AUTOMAGIC markers
[05:41] <swuboo> Alright, the official GNOME IRC channel is deader than a box of trilobytes; does anyone here know why clicking the Logout button hangs GNOME?
[05:41] <Patogen> But I have this line "root=UUID=32752c2d-00fe-4086-845e-ccd705a8a277 ro quiet splash" which looks like I can change splash to nosplash, will this work?
[05:41] <astro76> r3n0c: you need the public key contents in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the server
[05:42] <Patogen> nickrud: I'm sorry but I don't understand
[05:42] <slop> what is the console command that tells me what version of ubuntu I'm running?
[05:42] <r3n0c> astro76, ok i have that file but where do i add it in the command
[05:42] <nickrud> Patogen: that line will be automatically updated when you run  sudo update-grub . Try changing the #defoptions , then run update-grub and look again
[05:42] <sherl0ck> telee, what is the extension on it
[05:42] <telee> .iso
[05:43] <bullgard4> A Gnome teminal tab reports: "sudo: pam_authenticate: Conversation error; :" There is no prompt. Why can I not terminate this 'conversation' by ^C? How can I terminate this 'conversation'?
[05:43] <lemontea> quick i need a command code to shut down at 3 am
[05:43] <lemontea> quick i need a command code to shut down at 3 am
[05:43] <dsnyders> Hi all!  I have a file consisting of filenames.  I'd like to add leading and trailing text.  eg  /path/abc becomes mv /path/abc /home/abc01
[05:44] <dsnyders> lemontea, check out the at and shutdown commands
[05:44] <lemontea> sudo shutdown -h +240
[05:44] <lemontea> dsnyders sudo shutdown -h +240
[05:44] <lemontea> dsnyders does this works for 240 minutes?
[05:44] <astro76> r3n0c: don't, if the private key is in the client (~/.ssh/id_dsa or id_rsa) and the public key contents are in the server authorized_keys, it should just work
[05:44] <Patogen> nickrud: It did, thank you -- again :) Hopefully nothing went wrong :D
[05:45] <Flannel> lemontea: yes, among other formats you can choose from
[05:45] <r3n0c> astro76,  thats what i thought, i didn't thikn that i needed the private key data.. the server is a windows box running openssh
[05:45] <nickrud> Patogen: a reboot will be the smoke test :)
[05:45] <r3n0c> astro76,  ok nvm i think that i found the ssh_config where i can chang ethe directory for where the new id_rsa is
[05:45] <dsnyders> lemontea, yes, that's +240 munutes,  however, shutdown -h 03:00 might do the trick.
[05:46] <decay> !broadcom
[05:46] <astro76> that's 3 am
[05:46] <ubotu> Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[05:47] <dsnyders> astro76, well, 3 am is what lemontree asked for
[05:48] <astro76> ahh
[05:48] <misslecommander> !kernel
[05:48] <ubotu> The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages
[05:48] <lemontea> dsnyders it say it need to be root
[05:48] <lemontea> dsnyders it say it need to be root
[05:48] <misslecommander> i take it you can compile your own custom kernel ?
[05:48] <astro76> lemontea: stop repeating
[05:48] <lemontea> dsnyders sorry
[05:48] <astro76> lemontea: use sudo
[05:48] <swuboo> lemontea:  Preface the command with sudo.
[05:48] <lemontea> dsnyders sudo dsnyders
[05:49] <lemontea> dsnyders sudo  shutdown -h 03:00
[05:49] <lemontea> dsnyders thanks everyone
[05:49] <lemontea> dsnyders so it should shut down with no problem
[05:50] <misslecommander> you guys rock. even if i dont understand everything about linux yet, i can see there is a hwole mess of info that goes through here
[05:50] <decay> ubuntu not recognizing USB stick....i have to boot it with 'noapic' though. any thoughts?
[05:50] <Carbonflux> does anyone know what the best video output driver is for mplayer under Compiz-Fusion ? I am running 7.10 amd64 with a geforce board and restricted drivers.
[05:51] <decay> !nvidia
[05:51] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:51] <vejan738> I can't do make  after I do a ./configure- why?
[05:51] <misslecommander> my nVidia worked first install, as of yet, no issues
[05:51] <swuboo> Carbonflux:  Assuming you've got an nvidia video card, the "nvidia" driver is probably your best bet.
[05:51] <r3n0c> astro76,  ok new problem, putting the id_rsa fixed it, so it connects, but i get an error back claiming that the file is not in a secure location
[05:51] <r3n0c> ~/.ssh is my /home/username/.ssh
[05:52] <r3n0c> i assume that it wants it inside of my not home dir
[05:52] <Spee_Der> vejan738, try make clean then make
[05:52] <EvanP> can i virutalize my ubuntu partition in windows?
[05:52] <vejan738> thank u
[05:52] <nickrud> Carbonflux: I've had no luck with mplayer and compiz, x11 at least shows video but mplayer can't scale it. I've been using vlc with x11
[05:52] <Carbonflux> swuboo, I am talking about the output model for mplayer, for example, there is a opengl one, or a x11 one, etc
[05:52] <vejan738> nope
[05:52] <Carbonflux> nickrud, ah thanks :)
[05:52] <Spee_Der> vejan738, which software please ?
[05:53] <swuboo> Carbonflux:  Ah.  Well, then I'm not sure I have any notion.
[05:53] <nickrud> Carbonflux: and when I really want to watch video, I switch off compiz
[05:53] <vejan738> icecast
[05:53] <zax_> ...
[05:53] <astro76> r3n0c: make sure .ssh/ is 700, and id_rsa is 600
[05:53] <Starnestommy> vejan738: did you do sudo apt-get install build-essential?
[05:53] <Carbonflux> swuboo, heh, if was not a important question, just fishing in case anyone has played with it :)
[05:53] <Spee_Der> vejan738, hmmmm, don't know that one yet, let me go get it and see what gives.
[05:53] <Carbonflux> nickrud, what kind of machine do you have ?
[05:53] <r3n0c> astro76, i can just sudo chmod id_rsa 600 right?
[05:53] <astro76> r3n0c: yeah
[05:53] <zax_> Hi
[05:53] <nickrud> Carbonflux: a cheap gateway laptop with ati 200m
[05:53] <astro76> r3n0c: chmod 600 id_rsa
[05:54] <swuboo> Carbonflux:  Well, my mplayer seems to be set to use gl.
[05:54] <nickrud> Carbonflux: but it works great with linux
[05:54] <Carbonflux> thanks swuboo :)
[05:54] <Pipehh> Ola
[05:54] <decay> ubuntu not recognizing USB stick....i have to boot it with 'noapic' though. any thoughts?
[05:54] <astro76> r3n0c: shouldn't need sudo either ;)
[05:54] <Pipehh> Alguien Habla Español
[05:54] <Pipehh> ???
[05:54] <astro76> !es | Pipehh
[05:54] <ubotu> Pipehh: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[05:54] <Carbonflux> nickrud, ya linux has saved all my older machines from the scrap heap heh
[05:54] <Pipehh> gracias
[05:54] <r3n0c> astro76,  thanks man, worked
[05:54] <dannyboy20> yo hablo español
[05:54] <sethk> Pipehh, de nada, literalimente  :)
[05:54] <KarrotCake> EvanP: you could try  virtual box or vmware although i dont think you can import an existing partition?
[05:54] <astro76> r3n0c: no problem
[05:54] <swuboo> Carbonflux:  And I am using compiz, with an nVidia card.
[05:55] <sethk> dannyboy20, people get upset if you speak spanish on the english channel.  go to the #es, or create a temporary channel, or do a pm.
[05:55] <Starnestommy> #ubuntu-es ?
[05:55] <sethk> dannyboy20, I don't get upset, but on occasion I get yelled at about it.  :)
[05:55] <Carbonflux> I am trying the gl right now swuboo it does scale correctly and it looks smooth
[05:55] <sethk> Starnestommy, si
[05:55] <EvanP> KarrotCake, that would be awsome, i wouldnt have to reboot to use netbeans.
[05:56] <swuboo> Carbonflux:  Good, I'm glad it's working for you, too.
[05:56] <dannyboy20> nah man im good...just tellin the other dude that i speak spanish sinse he asked
[05:56] <r3n0c> astro76, haha ok well newer issue, it says to enter passphrase.... which i know what it is, but it says that it is wrong... does it want the entire id_rsa file pasted? i doubt it
[05:56] <tt__> Could anyone tell me how to reinstall lib32 in ubuntu-64 ?
[05:56] <Carbonflux> swuboo, ya I don't want to have to turn off compiz to watch movies, I like the minimal interface with mplayer heh
[05:56] <dsnyders> Any sed gurus online?  I want to morph a list of files into a string of commands on those files.
[05:56] <sethk> r3n0c, no, but there should be a way to use the hex key rather than the pass phrase
[05:56] <dannyboy20> sethk, i hav a problem...everytime i try loading ubuntu...my screen starts fuzzing up after it it loads the system...
[05:57] <swuboo> Carbonflux:  Agreed, although my favorite feature of mplayer is how it willfully ignores previews on DVD's.
[05:57] <misslecommander> !
[05:57] <sethk> dsnyders, doesn't sound difficult, but sed may not be the correct tool.  What do you need to do, exactly?
[05:57] <KarrotCake> EvanP: You can get a netbeans installer for both linux and windows; why not just install it twice?
[05:57] <misslecommander> !netowrk
[05:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about netowrk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:57] <misslecommander> !network
[05:57] <Carbonflux> swuboo, heh ya I just noticed that, it just right into the move
[05:57] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:57] <Carbonflux> movie*
[05:57] <Spee_Der> vejan738, are you in sudo mode ?
[05:57] <tt__> Anyone here know how to reinstall lib32 in ubuntu 64?
[05:57] <astro76> r3n0c: no just the passphrase
[05:57] <vejan738> yes
[05:57] <dannyboy20> sethk, i hav an amd64 processor with an nvidia card
[05:57] <Spee_Der> hmm
[05:57] <sethk> dannyboy20, not sure what you mean by fuzzing up.  Can you elaborate?
[05:58] <Spee_Der> vejan738, and of course in the /dir you need be in ?
[05:58] <EvanP> KarrotCake, i like developing on linux
[05:58] <swuboo> Carbonflux:  Beautiful thing, isn't it?  Even if you voluntarily navigate yourself to previews, it ignores fast-forward lockouts.
[05:58] <vejan738> yes
[05:58] <Spee_Der> ok
[05:58] <dsnyders> sethk, I want to convert "/path/to/file" to "mv /path/to/file /home/me/file01"
[05:58] <Carbonflux> swuboo, ah thats really, I HATE those anti-piracy ones and stuff
[05:58] <Carbonflux> really good*
[05:58] <misslecommander> i am not running the 64 version of linux, but it works on my amd64
[05:58] <dannyboy20> sethk, yea the screen starts to go black for some reason...but it does thru a blend of grey and white and black till the whole thing goes black like if my monitor was off
[05:59] <dsnyders> sethk, where the 01 changes with the line in the file.
[05:59] <Spee_Der> veejan78, what I did was open terminal, sudo kpackage, search icecast. got icecast2 installed quick.
[05:59] <sethk> dsnyders, right, I would do this:
[05:59] <Carbonflux> I feel like I am getting better performance running the amd64 build tho
[05:59] <dannyboy20> i hav tried the 32 and 64bit edition of ubuntu...they both do the same...
[05:59] <sethk> dsnyders, first, cd to /path/to, then do    ls > filelist
[05:59] <Spee_Der> veejan78, I'm using Ubuntu v6.06 LTS i686
[05:59] <sethk> dsnyders, filelist being an arbitrary name
[05:59] <vejan738> hmmmmm
[05:59] <misslecommander> !amd64
[05:59] <ubotu> AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information.
[06:00] <sethk> dsnyders, then, vi the file.  You can do it with sed but it's harder, so vi the file
[06:00] <Spee_Der> !moo
[06:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about moo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:00] <swuboo> I find the 64bit version seems to perform better with my dual core AMD64.
[06:00] <dsnyders> sethk, each line in the file has a different path.
[06:00] <Rafase_282> hi
[06:00] <misslecommander> i will try amd64 version. i wasnt sure which one i needed
[06:00] <clearzen> annyboy20: you aren't going to notice a huge difference with 64bit unless you are doing heavy math or have more than 4GB of RAM
[06:00] <Carbonflux> I think 7.10 amd64 has been a good pick for me, I have managed to get everything I want working and it runs really fast
[06:00] <sethk> dsnyders, oh, ok, still doable but a bit harder.
[06:00] <dsnyders> sethk, however, continue
[06:00] <swuboo> Although with Gutsy, Firefox likes to turn grey and ignore all input for twenty seconds at a time unless I completely disable Flash.
[06:00] <sethk> dsnyders, ok, so ...
[06:00] <vejan738> i type make an No targets specified and makefile found
[06:00] <Carbonflux> me2 swuboo
[06:00] <Spee_Der> hmmmm
[06:01] <Patogen> I installed ubuntu (just for testing at first) on a too small partition ... is there a way to correct this? I will need to downsize my windows partition and make my / partitition bigger ... a link to a guide or anything would be good :)
[06:01] <Carbonflux> people say you don't notice it but I do
[06:01] <vejan738> all this is icecast-2.3.1 dir
[06:01] <tt__> anyone here know how to reinstall lib32? in ubuntu 64?
[06:01] <sethk> vejan738, if you pulled a CVS set of files, you need to use autoconf first.  Otherwise you may be in the wrong directory
[06:01] <misslecommander> the reason i didnt install the amd64 version is, peopel talking about java or flash or something going wrong with installing them
[06:01] <Carbonflux> I installed the 32bit version first and ran it for a week
[06:01] <Carbonflux> yes, there is a issue with flash
[06:01] <KarrotCake> EvanP: Id give virtualbox a go then; works great in linux, so should be good in windows.
[06:01] <swuboo> misslecommander:  And they aren't kidding.  You can get flash working, but it's a headache.
[06:01] <Carbonflux> but there are some fairly good howto's on the net about it
[06:01] <Spee_Der> veejan738, where did you get the package from please ? II'd like to try it that way
[06:01] <misslecommander> CarbonFlux : you ran into no flash or java issues ?
[06:01] <tt__> misslecommander it will takes you some time till you get flash working as it should
[06:01] <Patogen> Flash works just fine for me
[06:01] <Carbonflux> yes
[06:01] <Patogen> in x64
[06:01] <dannyboy20> clearzen, i know but im juzt trying to get the system loaded lol and its not even letting me...i juzt thought i needed the 64bit version sinse thats what i have
[06:01] <tt__> and also with me
[06:01] <Carbonflux> I had to manually build a flash 64bit package
[06:02] <vejan738> right from icecast.org
[06:02] <Spee_Der> ok.
[06:02] <vejan738> its a new version
[06:02] <swuboo> I really hate the weird grey-out Firefox bug, though.  Only appeared when I upgraded to Gutsy.
[06:02] <tt__> you dont really have too , but chaning on line the .deb , and things would work fine
[06:02] <Patogen> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/amd64/flashplugin-nonfree/<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu0.7.10
[06:02] <Patogen> I used this and it worked like a charm
[06:02] <Carbonflux> the ubuntu version had a checksum error in it
[06:02] <Carbonflux> I think it still does
[06:02] <Spee_Der> I'll try that. Did you see sethk's comment ?
[06:02] <misslecommander> so you dont think i will run into the Flash problem with the desktop non-64 version ?
[06:02] <sethk> dsnyders, pm me, it's not a one liner.
[06:02] <tt__> yeah it still
[06:02] <swuboo> misslecommander:  If you're using the 32-bit version, as far as I know there isn't a Flash problem.
[06:03] <Carbonflux> without the checksum error tho the flash package on the ubuntu repos works I assume
[06:03] <swuboo> Or at least, there wasn't back when I used the 32-bit version.
[06:03] <Spee_Der> bbiab veejan
[06:03] <clearzen> dannyboy20: no, I wouldn't recommend a 64bit system unless you know exactly what you are doing. It seems much more buggy than 32bit and you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get things working.
[06:03] <misslecommander> i choose stable over performance any day
[06:03] <tt__> all 64-bit users here , anyone know how to reinstall the stupid lib32?!
[06:03] <vejan738> thanks spee
[06:03] <telee> anyone know why i get a green screen when i play movies?
[06:03] <soldats> misslecommander, theres no problem with flash but you have to install via the adobe site
[06:03] <Carbonflux> well, I got 64bit flash working fine following instructions from a howto on the web
[06:03] <Carbonflux> took me about 10 mins
[06:03] <tt__> clearzen , the only reason you shouldnt use 64 , if you are going to mplayer and using win32-dll (codecs)
[06:03] <tt__> till now , i dont see other reason for not using it , except that
[06:04] <Carbonflux> the only problem with flash 64bit in 7.10 seems to be a checksum error in the repos
[06:04] <zax_> Hello.
[06:04] <dannyboy20> oh but i hav the 32bit version too and thats the one ive always used..but i juzt got a new latop today and the system wont even load...any idea on whats happening with my system?
[06:04] <clearzen> tt__: I had *a lot* of problems. Including 64bit flash support on firefox
[06:04] <misslecommander> i have 32 installed, so i wll run that till i get used to it, then maybe change
[06:04] <Carbonflux> heh, there are w64 codecs now tt__
[06:04] <Carbonflux> I just installed them
[06:04] <tt__> clearzen , dont tell me , i allready knew ;) , i jsut made some things stupid with lib32 and now i missing every things
[06:04] <KarrotCake> has anybody actually noticed a performance improvement with 64bit ubuntu?
[06:04] <misslecommander> i am new to linux i dont need more problems than may already be there
[06:04] <marshall> i just realized my laptop has infrared, and my cell phone has infrared. what can be done with this technology on ubuntu gutsy?
[06:04] <Spee_Der> veejan738, I don't see it on their site. Which version ?
[06:04] <tt__> for example SSL now , its not working in Firefox , and many others
[06:05] <vejan738> 2.3.1
[06:05] <Spee_Der> brb
[06:05] <clearzen> tt__: Ouch
[06:05] <sethk> dsnyders, something like:    s;^\(.*\)/\([^/][^/]*$\);mv \1/\2 /new/path/\2;
[06:05] <tt__> marshall , dont put much hope on your infrad , your linux might not regonize it without driver
[06:05] <Gearsmith> I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged.
[06:05] <Gearsmith> Is there any way to fix this?
[06:05] <clearzen> sethk: that's a nasty looking sed command
[06:05] <andresj> how does one conect to a broadboand conection? sth involving the ISP name and user and password...
[06:05] <misslecommander> program you linux box to change channels in the tv' at the tv outlets :)
[06:05] <swuboo> tt____:  The lib32 packages, I just installed from Synaptic.  Haven't had any problems with video.  Using 64-bit, of course.
[06:05] <tt__> clearzen the problem was stupid / (i forget and i wrote it , which replace many of my /lib in /lib32)
[06:05] <sethk> clearzen, true.  new style regex's are not quite so ugly, but sed doesn't understand them AFAIK
[06:06] <DrChirs1> I'm trying to add an extra drive to my system that will serve as my /home folder.  Should i format it as a primary or extended partition?
[06:06] <dsnyders> sethk, I think I got hung up on using sed.  I could do a search/replace in vi and get the same effect.
[06:06] <Gearsmith> I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this?
[06:06] <tt__> swuboo , its just mplayer thats the only thing you might suffer (but someone here said there is now lib-64 codecs for it)
[06:06] <misslecommander> i am more here to gather as much info as i can, before i go messing with any settings. i would like to see what issues people are having, before i have them myself.
[06:06] <kdkfj> alguém do brasil
[06:06] <kdkfj> alguém do brasil pra da uma ajuda
[06:06] <swuboo> tt____:  mplayer works flawlessly for me.
[06:06] <kdkfj> ?
[06:06] <sethk> dsnyders, indeed; in fact, that is a vi search/replace I gave you.   the : is the command line, and then 1,$ means first line to last line
[06:07] <dannyboy20> clearzen, oh but i hav the 32bit version too and thats the one ive always used..but i juzt got a new latop today and the system wont even load...any idea on whats happening with my system?
[06:07] <Spee_Der> veejan738, all I get is the various site lists no matter what I choose.
[06:07] <andresj> kdkfj: #ubuntu-br, #ubuntu-pr?
[06:07] <Gearsmith> I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this?
[06:07] <dannyboy20> clearzen, oh but i hav the 32bit version too and thats the one ive always used..but i juzt got a new latop today and the system wont even load...any idea on whats happening with my system?
[06:07] <Carbonflux> mplayer is working ok for me now, the only problems are have are slow frame rate playing real media and windows media files
[06:07] <kdkfj> andresj: tem ninguem no ubuntu-br
[06:07] <misslecommander> i was on another IRC, and them people were not only, XTREMELY rude, but didnt help even close to what all you are
[06:07] <kdkfj> cho tentar o ubuntu-pt
[06:07] <kdkfj> vlw
[06:07] <clearzen> dannyboy20: what part of the boot is it hanging on? do you know?
[06:07] <Spee_Der> veejan738, did you see sethk's comment also ?
[06:07] <tt__> llast time i tried , it couldn't load win32 dlls (YES IT WORKS AND CAN PLAY BUT NO , you cannot load win32) as in the last time i tried it
[06:07] <Gearsmith> I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this?
[06:07] <dsnyders> sethk, yes, I see.  I guess I need to brush up on my regexp-fu
[06:07] <james296> is it possible to use exaile as default audio cd player?
[06:07] <Gearsmith> I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this?
[06:08] <vejan738> hmmm
[06:08] <sethk> dannyboy20, try doing a reconfiguration of the x configuration.  I use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   although there is a newer way that I never remember
[06:08] <Gearsmith> I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this?
[06:08] <dannyboy20> clearzen, right when its about to boot up...the very last part
[06:08] <vejan738> http://www.icecast.org/download.php
[06:08] <clearzen> dannyboy20: go into the kernel options on the cd before you boot and erase the quiet and splash options so you can see the command line output
[06:08] <Gearsmith> I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this?
[06:08] <zax_> Alright, I need help....
[06:08] <james296> well?
[06:08] <tt__> just an question , the 32 libs , it is ONE pkg or mmore?
[06:08] <sethk> dsnyders, you need that "not /" stuff because the regex's are maximal.  In newer things like python or ruby you can specify maximal or minimal.
[06:09] <Gearsmith> I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this?
[06:09] <kdkfj> andre_sj: poxa em nenhum dos dois canais ninguem responde
[06:09] <kdkfj> srs
[06:09] <dannyboy20> clearzen, right when it gets ready to load the windows system...thats when the screen goes all weird and stuff...
[06:09] <tt__> i will take my chance , and i will reinstall every things
[06:09] <james296> I really wanna know the answer
[06:09] <Gearsmith> I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this?
[06:09] <zax_> i just got this IRC client, and when i go into any other room i cant see anyone talking, even if there are people in there...
[06:09] <kdkfj> andresj: ei cara vc poderia mim ajudar
[06:09] <Gearsmith> I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this?
[06:09] <zax_> what?
[06:09] <zax_> ...
[06:10] <Spee_Der> veejan738, okay I got it, let me open and see what gives.
[06:10] <clearzen> dannyboy20: I can't help you unless you can provide some CLI output when it hangs. It could be a number of things
[06:10] <kdkfj> andresj: nem é mei que ajuda é que o ubuntu ta com um comportamento estranho to sem intender direito
[06:10] <dsnyders> sethk, I also need a % in front of the substitute command in order to catch the whole file.
[06:10] <bazhang> zax_: what channels
[06:10] <andresj> hwo does one connect to ADSl?
[06:10] <Gearsmith> I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this?
[06:10] <dannyboy20> clearzen, i hav and nvidia video card on an amd turion64...
[06:10] <Starnestommy> Gearsmith: tried restarting x?
[06:10] <soldats> !repeat | Gearsmith
[06:10] <ubotu> Gearsmith: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[06:10] <andresj> kdkf: no hablo portugues
[06:10] <zax_> bazhang: very literally, anyothers....
[06:10] <zax_> like at all.
[06:10] <sethk> dsnyders, no, there is no need for %, at least not the way I wrote the regex
[06:10] <zax_> Any channel in the Ubuntu server works
[06:10] <bazhang> zax_: for example?
[06:10] <Gearsmith> Restarting X doesn't work.
[06:10] <tt__> anyone know , how long it wil ltake to reinstall every things installed in ubuntu?
[06:11] <vejan738> gearsmith- is your panel locked
[06:11] <james296> is it possible to use exaile as default audio cd player?
[06:11] <kdkfj> andresj: srs ok1 mesmo assim muchas gracias
[06:11] <Gearsmith> Is there a way to resize the tray icons sizes?
[06:11] <zax_> example: server ircnet #chat
[06:11] <zax_> nothing works.
[06:11] <dsnyders> sethk, I just tried it, and only one line changed.
[06:11] <soldats> Gearsmith, normally it involves the .jpg images it uses and for some apps the icon .jpeg is smaller or bigger
[06:11] <misslecommander> for my install of ubuntu, it only took around 1/2 hour to 45 mins
[06:11] <dsnyders> sethk, cut and pasted from xchat to vi
[06:11] <sethk> dsnyders, then you didn't enter what I said.    starting with      :1,$s .....
[06:11] <crdlb> soldats: png, not jpg
[06:11] <misslecommander> that was my first install
[06:11] <Gearsmith> What is the directory for Pidgin? If I knew what that was I could go in and change it.
[06:12] <sethk> dsnyders, I just did it here to make sure
[06:12] <bazhang> zax_: a real example would be helpful; can you access #fedora ?
[06:12] <kc8tap> gearsmith you should be able to change sizes in your panel
[06:12] <james296> is it possible to use exaile as default audio cd player?
[06:12] <zax_> lemme try...
[06:12] <soldats> crdlb, err yea my state of mind is not "sober"
[06:12] <Gearsmith> Does anyone know what the directory for Pidgin is?
[06:12] <Spee_Der> veejan738, I did the ./configure and got this -- >>> configure: error: XSLT configuration could not be found
[06:12] <sethk> dsnyders, you can also do    :g/whatever/s.....
[06:12] <Spee_Der> So now I need find XSLT
[06:13] <vejan738> ah- there was something at the end of ./configure
[06:13] <soldats> Gearsmith, maybe ~/.pidgin or do "locate pidgin" in terminal and look around
[06:13] <vejan738> that was an eror
[06:13] <vejan738> error
[06:13] <soldats> errr locate pidgin | less
[06:13] <Spee_Der> yes it was
[06:14] <Spee_Der> veejan738, I'mm looking in kpackage for XSLT.
[06:14] <vejan738> there was something too on my ./configure
[06:14] <sethk> Gearsmith, should be in /usr/bin
[06:14] <misslecommander> when i installed ubuntu, i chose not to have a swap file, being i have 1 gig memory. can i change this later on, if need be ?
[06:15] <dsnyders> sethk, Ah! I see.  However, the :1,$ was not the original line, but you did state it later.
[06:15] <vejan738> maybe I have to start over from the beginning again- rm it and start over?
[06:15] <sethk> dsnyders, ok, sorry, I didn't realize that
[06:15] <zax_> so
[06:15] <dsnyders> sethk, no worries.  It's the part AFTER the s that's the important bit.
[06:15] <tt__> misslecomander , yes you could
[06:15] <clearzen> vejan738: if you are compiling is would be make clean
[06:15] <sethk> dsnyders, yes.
[06:15] <tt__> simply by using mkswap
[06:16] <dannyboy20> can anybody tell me what can i do about this? besides mayb gettin another laptop
[06:16] <misslecommander> thank you
[06:16] <zax_> i tried to do '(forward slash)join #fedora) and it said 'You need to be identified to join this channel"
[06:16] <sethk> dsnyders, you can use the command history in vim to play with it until you get it right
[06:16] <misslecommander> !mkswap
[06:16] <Spee_Der> veejan738, well I'm looking for the XSLT file needed by version 2.3.1, let me see what I come up with.
[06:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mkswap - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:16] <sethk> dsnyders, if, at the : (in vim) you use up arrow, you get the preceding command
[06:16] <soldats> zax_, register your nick name
[06:16] <zax_> I am such a noob, how?
[06:16] <bazhang> zax_: how about #suse ?
[06:16] <Spee_Der> vejan738, when you do ./configure does it end with an error message ?
[06:16] <Starnestommy> zax_: /msg nickserv help register
[06:16] <rapiddemon> Hey can someone help me debug sleep mode on my laptop?
[06:16] <clearzen> dannyboy20: turn off quiet and splash on the boot options for the kernel. then come back with a output of the error you get or where it hangs
[06:17] <dsnyders> sethk, thanks a bunch.
[06:17] <zax_> that worked i am in suse,
[06:17] <soldats> zax_, /nickserv register <password> <email>
[06:17] <Starnestommy> soldats: email isn't needed
[06:17] <zax_> but i cant see what anyone is saying despite having 230 users...
[06:17] <soldats> Starnestommy, yea i know
[06:17] <sethk> dsnyders, np.  command history in vim saves me _lots_ of typing and not everyone knows it's there.  (It's only there in the gui version, by the way)
[06:17] <vejan738> well I'm going back to the beginning and remove it-
[06:17] <Starnestommy> zax_: they might all be away from their keyboards
[06:17] <Spee_Der> Ok. I will keep working on it.
[06:18] <bazhang> zax_: some of those channels are less busy; ask a question and wait a few and see if you get a response
[06:18] <zax_> so 232 people are simultaneously away?
[06:18] <sethk> Starnestommy, connect a tazer to each person, and fire it remotely.  that'll get them back to their keyboards.  :)
[06:18] <vejan738> I know there was an error at the end of ./configure, but I had a brain fart going on
[06:18] <bazhang> zax_: many are idle
[06:18] <dsnyders> sethk, I'm not sure it'll be much help, though, unless I can undo a global substitute
[06:18] <misslecommander> !vim
[06:18] <vejan738> so must be missing somethin
[06:18] <ubotu> Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) | Terminal-based editors: vi/vim, emacs, and nano (user-friendly). | HTML/CSS editors: !html | Programming: !code
[06:19] <sethk> dsnyders, :1,$ is the same thing in a slightly different syntax.  It means "from line one to the last line"
[06:19] <zax_> I already tried asking and waiting in four different rooms...
[06:19] <swuboo> zax_, soldats:  Why not make a new channel and see if you can hear each other in it?
[06:19] <rapiddemon> I am having trouble waking my laptop up from sleep mode, does anybody have the skills to help me debug this?
[06:19] <bazhang> zax_: many of them are dead--it is the middle of night for many of them
[06:19] <sethk> zax_, wait, if you can't see what people are saying, how are you reading this?
[06:19] <Patogen> !game
[06:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about game - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:19] <soldats> swuboo, what was the point in saying that
[06:20] <zax_> they WERE all away...
[06:20] <zax_> on just answered...
[06:20] <swuboo> soldats:  Simple.  He can't hear anything in #fedora, but that might be because they were all away.
[06:20] <soldats> i was telling him how to register to join fedora
[06:20] <zax_> <---idiot
[06:20] <mattholimeau> blah - just finished putting together my new machine... and it doesn't power on. lame.
[06:20] <bazhang> swuboo: no you need to register there
[06:20] <sethk> zax_, be polite, even to yourself.  That's  _Mr. Idiot_    :)
[06:20] <dsnyders> zax_, probably a server hickup.
[06:20] <mattholimeau> never had that problem before.
[06:21] <sethk> mattholimeau, got the on/off switch connected to the right mobo pins?
[06:21] <swuboo> soldats: I know.  But he said he joined fedora and no one was talking.  So, therefore, if you two had a private channel, you could be absolutely sure the other people in it, i.e. each other, were not idle.
[06:21] <zax_> lol,, thanks guys.
[06:21] <mattholimeau> i checked the internal panel connectors... they're all correct
[06:21] <mattholimeau> yeah
[06:21] <mattholimeau> that was my first thought
[06:21] <bazhang> swuboo: not without being registered there, which he is not
[06:21] <sethk> mattholimeau, don't mean to be insulting, but I have no way of knowing how much you know
[06:21] <mike4785> hi everyone
[06:21] <sethk> mattholimeau, some mobos have a green led that lights up when it is seeing power from the power supply
[06:21] <mattholimeau> sethk: hah - not insulting at all, completely rational. usually it's the stupid thing
[06:21] <swuboo> bazhang:  I understood him to say he had successfully registered.  Perhaps I was wrong.
[06:21] <mike4785> i have a question about calendars
[06:22] <vejan738> yep - XSLT configuration could not be found
[06:22] <mattholimeau> sethk: yep - that too. lots of pretty blue lights inside, actually
[06:22] <mattholimeau> sethk: it just doesn't power on.
[06:22] <mike4785> i want a calendar that shows up on my desktop can i do that with the evolution calendar?
[06:22] <vejan738> sorry I missed that in the beginning
[06:22] <bazhang> swuboo: perhaps you were :}
[06:22] <sethk> mattholimeau, ok, that's helpful, as we know the power supply is getting juice and sending it to the mobo.
[06:22] <soldats> swuboo, im not idle, i was merely trying to get him/her connected to the channel. no offense but me and you can drop this randomness and get back to halping
[06:22] <mattholimeau> sethk: i saw the blue lights and thought "sweeet"... hit the button and went "awww... shit."
[06:22] <AnAnt> Hello, I am using Gutsy, what happened to Xorg's -query option ? I can't use it anymore !
[06:23] <mike4785> i have a question about calendars
[06:23] <bazhang> !ohmy | mattholimeau
[06:23] <sethk> mattholimeau, possibly dumb question number 2:  is there a separate power connector for the processor and, if so, is it on?
[06:23] <ubotu> mattholimeau: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[06:23] <mike4785> i want a calendar that shows up on my desktop can i do that with the evolution calendar?
[06:23] <sethk> mattholimeau, also, if the processor fan is not sensed it won't power up, so check those connections.
[06:23] <swuboo> soldats:  We're simply miscommunicating.  I agree, let's drop it.
[06:23] <mattholimeau> ubotu: sorry
[06:23] <ubotu> It's ok, I can't stay mad at you.
[06:23] <Spee_Der> veejan738, ok. I'm having same troble with the XSLT thing. But, I'm using kpackage to help me locate it.
[06:23] <mike4785> i have a question about calendars
[06:23] <mike4785> i want a calendar that shows up on my desktop can i do that with the evolution calendar?
[06:23] <AnAnt> erm, nevermind
[06:23] <soldats> swuboo, :) i agree as well.
[06:23] <mattholimeau> processor fan is connected... i know there were two power supply spots that both got plugged in
[06:23] <mEck0> Hi! can someone help me fix wireless network (intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG)? In restricted drivers, I see that the driver is enabled (in use), but I don't have a wireless section in gnome network manager (just wired- and modem connection)
[06:23] <dsnyders> mattholimeau, just for future reference, ubotu is a chat script.  You don't need to reply to it.
[06:24] <hatter_> what am i to do when then top part of a window disappears off the top of the screen ?
[06:24] <mattholimeau> dsnyders: hahaha, yes, i realized. i apologized for fun. thanks though.
[06:24] <sethk> dsnyders, on the other hand, there is no rule saying he can't respond.  :)
[06:24] <Gearsmith> How do I change the permissions of a folder that only allows for permissions change as root?
[06:24] <mike4785> hatter_ do you mean that the bar with your menu for apps is gone?
[06:24] <EADG_> Is there any way to ajust screensaver settings in gnome?
[06:24] <sethk> mattholimeau, sounds like you checked the obvious stuff already.
[06:24] <mattholimeau> dsnyders: it was a way of apologizing to the room - i laughed when it responded.
[06:24] <swuboo> hatter_:  If you right click on the program's entry on the taskbar, there should be an option for "Move", which will allow you to get it back onto the screen.
[06:25] <misslecommander> lol
[06:25] <mike4785> i want a calendar that shows up on my desktop can i do that with the evolution calendar?
[06:25] <mattholimeau> sethk: yeah - i've built a few of them now.
[06:25] <dsnyders> True.  I'm reminded of a Star Trek TNG episode where an ensign thanks the food dispenser.
[06:25] <Spee_Der> veejan738, ok. now I get this message -- >> configure: error: must have Ogg Vorbis v1.0 or above installed
[06:25] <bullgard4> Gnome teminal reports: "sudo: pam_authenticate: Conversation error; :" There is no prompt. Why can I not terminate this 'conversation' by ^C? How can I terminate this 'conversation'?
[06:25] <tsukasa_> hey who knows something about init.d? i added my own script and its not executing. any idea why? it works fine if i /etc/init.d/foo start
[06:25] <Gearsmith> How do I change permissions for /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/tray/48 if only root can change permissions?
[06:25] <sethk> mattholimeau, got a spare processor to try?
[06:25] <clearzen> Gearsmith: sudo chmod -R 0755 /path/to/file. basically use sudo
[06:25] <reeeh2000> EADG: yes there is
[06:25] <sethk> Gearsmith, sudo
[06:25] <mike4785> i want a calendar that shows up on my desktop can i do that with the evolution calendar?
[06:25] <mattholimeau> sethk: but, it could always be something stupid
[06:25] <sethk> Gearsmith, or become root
[06:25] <Spee_Der> veejan738, that is after installing 34 files for XSLT using kpackage......
[06:25] <mattholimeau> sethk: nope - only bought one.
[06:25] <Spee_Der> veejan738, so let me work on that part now.
[06:25] <sethk> mattholimeau, if there is more than one memory stick, take all out except one.
[06:25] <reeeh2000> EADG: goto system, prefrences, then screensaver
[06:26] <swuboo> mike4785:  I'm not sure if Evolution will let you do that, but you may want to look into screenlets.
[06:26] <sethk> mattholimeau, these are unlikely suggestions, but I'm out of good suggestions  :)
[06:26] <vejan738> Spee_Der- found the answer
[06:26] <mattholimeau> sethk: good ideas both though - i'll look into them
[06:26] <mattholimeau> sethk: yeah - there are so many tiny things that could be wrong, it's not even funny
[06:26] <Gearsmith> It still won't let me edit the permissions of /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/tray/48 because it says I need to be root.
[06:26] <dsnyders> mattholimeau, if you have a multimeter, you may want to check the switch itself.
[06:26] <EADG_> reeeh2000: looking.
[06:26] <soldats> Gearsmith, edit with sudo
[06:27] <sethk> mattholimeau, a DOA mobo is not unheard of
[06:27] <Gearsmith> How do I edit the permissions with sudo?
[06:27] <mattholimeau> dsnyders: that i wouldn't know how to do... i know the general principle, but never got good at that type of testing
[06:27] <mattholimeau> sethk: i guess neither is a DOA processor
[06:27] <vejan738> it requires some packagess like libxml2- libxslt-curl-ogg/vorbis
[06:27] <dsnyders> mattholimeau, It's a long shot anyways.
[06:27] <sethk> mattholimeau, if you have the right size jumper, connect it to the place where the power switch goes.
[06:27] <sethk> mattholimeau, all the power switch does is connect the two pins
[06:27] <soldats> Gearsmith, "gksudo gedit /path/to/file" in terminal ort open nautilus via "gksudo nautilus" in command line
[06:28] <Spee_Der> veejan738. Good deal. I am getting those now also. The will re-do ./configure. Good luck mate.
[06:28] <vejan738> Thanks for your help
[06:28] <sethk> mattholimeau, an IDE jumper is typically the same size as the power switch connector.
[06:28] <tsukasa_> hey who knows something about init.d? i added my own script and its not executing. any idea why? it works fine if i /etc/init.d/foo start
[06:28] <EADG_> reeeh2000: Now how do I adjust settings for, lets say, glmatrix?
[06:28] <swuboo> mattholimeau:  If you don't have an appropriate jumper, as sethk is suggesting---try using a coin.
[06:28] <mattholimeau> sethk: i think i may have that jumper somewhere...
[06:28] <EADG_> reeeh2000: Now how do I adjust settings on, say, glmatrix?
[06:28] <sethk> mattholimeau, worth a try, easy to check.
[06:29] <Gearsmith> Uh, soldats, I need to change the permission of a directory and it won't let me do that.
[06:29] <mattholimeau> yeah
[06:29] <nickrud> tsukasa_: you need to link it into the runlevel system, and where depends on what it does
[06:29] <Spee_Der> veejan738, ok. I got thru ./configure okay, now doing make
[06:29] <hatter_> mike4785, yes the bar is gone
[06:29] <dsnyders> mattholimeau, some power supplies have a 120/240V switch on the back.  Make sure yours is set properly.
[06:29] <soldats> Gearsmith, what directory
[06:29] <sethk> Gearsmith, use sudo.  We told you that already
[06:29] <tsukasa_> nickrud, it starts synergy, and how do i link it to the runlevel system
[06:29] <hatter_> swuboo, thx, move changes the icon to a hand, but then it wont let me move it
[06:30] <Gearsmith> Sudo what? "sudo" by itself won't let me change the permissions.
[06:30] <Gearsmith> soldats: /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/tray/48
[06:30] <cute_bettong> is there anyone here that is good with the ubuntu screen savers?
[06:30] <sethk> Gearsmith, sudo chmod, since you want to use chmod
[06:30] <tsukasa_> nickrud, it needs to start before the login screen, which is why i made it an init.d
[06:30] <reeeh2000> EADG: did you find it?
[06:30] <tsukasa_> like what apache is
[06:30] <soldats> Gearsmith, are you using terminal
[06:30] <reeeh2000> EADG: opps sry
[06:30] <Gearsmith> Yeah.
[06:30] <mattholimeau> there's a 115 and a ... 230?
[06:30] <Spee_Der> veejan738, went thru make and make install all okay. It is working here.
[06:31] <dsnyders> mattholimeau, that's the one.
[06:31] <EADG_> reeeh2000: Yes, found the app, don't see anywhere to change individual screensaver setting though.
[06:31] <swuboo> hatter_:  Try maximizing it, then, in the same way.
[06:31] <mattholimeau> my current machine is on 115, and it was on 115 when i got it... so, i'm assuming i want to keep it on 115?
[06:31] <sethk> Gearsmith, just put sudo at the front of the command you used before to try and change the permissions (the one that said you can't)
[06:31] <cute_bettong> there used to be a feature in the old ubuntu screensaver application that let you  configure each screensaver and also the random option at some point they removed that feature does anyone know how to get that feature back
[06:31] <Gearsmith> I'm not using a command. I'm right clicking and going to the Permissions tab.
[06:31] <soldats> Gearsmith, "su"  in terminal will make you root. then naviagate to the directory and gedit the file
[06:31] <swuboo> mattholimeau:  115/120 is standard in the United States, if that helps.
[06:31] <mattholimeau> i'd think if that voltage is wrong then it wouldn't even light the mobo
[06:31] <dsnyders> mattholimeau, yes.  North america uses 115 , Europe uses 230
[06:31] <mattholimeau> aha - thanks.
[06:32] <EADG_> cute_bettong: I'm looking for that too. No luck yet.
[06:32] <reeeh2000> EADG: what are you trying to chang, GLmatrix isnt adjustable
[06:32] <nickrud> tsukasa_: take a look at ls -l /etc/rc2.d , that's the links (and startup order) into /etc/init.d. You'll see that gdm is S30 , you'll want it to start before then. If it doesn't depend on anything started before that, make it as early as possible
[06:32] <Gearsmith> I'm not trying to edit particular files, I'm trying to change the permissions of the entire directory.
[06:32] <sethk> mattholimeau, most of the newer power supplies can auto sense 110/220
[06:32] <mattholimeau> aha
[06:32] <cute_bettong> EADG_: i don't even remember what it was called..i thought it was gdm_screensaver or something like that...
[06:32] <sethk> mattholimeau, plus if it were wrong you would smell burning silicon  :)
[06:32] <soldats> Gearsmith, sudo chmod 777 /path/to/dir"
[06:32] <hatter_> ah , i was trying to move it from the workspace switcher, i just found the taskbar
[06:33] <EADG_> reeeh2000: Hmm, thought it was on Dapper, lets try Euphoria.
[06:33] <misslecommander> dont you just love the smell of burning computer parts ?
[06:33] <cute_bettong> EADG_: where would the screensaver prefrences be stored on the hard drive?
[06:33] <brandonD> how do i install this http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=132142
[06:33] <clearzen> How much compression can I expect out of bzip (eg 20% 40%)
[06:33] <cute_bettong> EADG_: mebbie the settings to change can be found in there
[06:33] <hatter_> great, move worked :)  thx
[06:34] <misslecommander> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware
[06:34] <sethk> clearzen, depends on the type of file you are compressing.  For pure text it might be as high as 75%.  For binary it might be as low as 25%
[06:34] <swuboo> hatter_: Sure thing.
[06:34] <Gearsmith> soldats, putting sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/tray in terminal did absolutely nothing.
[06:34] <clearzen> sethk: thanks
[06:34] <reeeh2000> EADG: possibly, i havnt used anything before feisty
[06:34] <soldats> Gearsmith, did it just skip to a new line ie. name@name$
[06:34] <tsukasa_> nickrud, okay so ill make it like S29. i dont need any of these complex switches like what S25bluetooth has, so whats the basic syntax? anything i put there gets executed, so /etc/init.d/foo start will work?
[06:34]  * Spee_Der is going back to bed, good night all.
[06:34] <hatter_> could ipv6 be slowing down the samba network ?
[06:34] <sethk> Gearsmith, that's not possible.  It can print another command prompt without showing you a message, but that is a huge distance away from doing "absolutely nothing"
[06:35] <Gearsmith> Yes.
[06:35] <Sonja> how do i format my samsung usb mp3 player?
[06:35] <soldats> Gearsmith, it should have worked then
[06:35] <reeeh2000> EADG: I believe that most of the new screen savers are designed not to need adjustmant
[06:35] <sethk> Gearsmith, if it did absolutely nothing, you would see nothing, your screen wouldn't change, you wouldn't get the next prompt line, etc.
[06:35] <soldats> Gearsmith, check via nautilus then and make sure
[06:35] <sethk> Gearsmith, most CLI command only print something if an error occurs.
[06:36] <reeeh2000> EADG: which is why there is no preference button
[06:36] <EADG_> grrr... sorry guys, my wifi is acting up.
