[04:54] <Flannel> ImBrian: you'd tell the -motu (#ubuntu-motu) but its also a good idea to file a bug report about it

[04:58] <Flannel> hfmls: It'd be nice if we could get an exact error message.  Could you try it and then write it down and get back to us?
[04:58] <jigp> Flannel : vi /etc/apt/apt.conf?

[05:09] <Flannel> hfmls: yeah. line 157 of your paste, change that (hd0,0) to (hd0,1)
[05:09] <kindofabuzz> ziovan, yeah follow that link, works perfectly, except you may want to your the drivers you downloaded instead of what they say

[05:13] <R_YoYo_R> does anybody know of a free (or cheap) ftp site i can back my stuff up too?
[05:13] <Svenstaro> How can I check all my library paths registered in Ubuntu?
[05:13] <gilles> I want help with rar extension to convert
[05:14] <SoulDust> How can I reset my best time in the minesweeper game?  I tried to uninstall and re-install and they were still there :O'
[05:14] <Svenstaro> SoulDust, theyre in your home directory hidden
[05:14] <IdleOne> R_YoYo_R: how much you want to pay? and how much stuff?
[05:15] <Flannel> SoulDust: Those would be in your home folder.  ~/.something
[05:15] <IdleOne> ~/.minesweeper probably
[05:15] <SoulDust> is it possible to search for a folder gerrrr
[05:15] <R_YoYo_R> IdleOne, like 50 gigs of music ... i dunno i wouldnt pay more than $50 for any more i would go buy an external drive
[05:16] <IdleOne> R_YoYo_R: then that is what you should do :)
[05:16] <R_YoYo_R> IdleOne, ok good point
[05:16] <Flannel> SoulDust: Just go to your home folder and hit ctrl-H
[05:17] <IdleOne> R_YoYo_R: isn't it great when you relise you knew the answer the whole time :)
[05:17] <Svenstaro> How can I check all my library paths (like includes/libs) registered in Ubuntu?
[05:17] <H_M-Ubuntu> Hey I was wondering about getting an application to stream my desktop on ustream,tv
[05:17] <IdleOne> s/relise/realise
[05:18] <H_M-Ubuntu> I can't seem to find any screen capture programs which can do that
[05:18] <Neseth> R_YoYo_R g.ho.st has a free ftp
[05:18] <R_YoYo_R> Neseth, ?
[05:18] <R_YoYo_R> IdleOne, they are cheap enough now
[05:18] <n3m0> how about a free irc proxy?
[05:18] <gilles> I want help with rar extension to convert u can help me
[05:18] <Neseth> R_YoYo_R u asked for a free ftp site, didnt u ?
[05:19] <Cocoabean> about screen capturing, try istanbul,, i woudl type your name but its too complicated to type
[05:19] <R_YoYo_R> Neseth, i did ... but can you explain a bit more
[05:19] <H_M-Ubuntu> I have istanbul,
[05:19] <H_M-Ubuntu> But, does it allow you to use it as a type of instant screen capture?
[05:19] <Flannel> !screencast | H_M-Ubuntu
[05:20] <H_M-Ubuntu> Thank you, Flannel
[05:20] <wickedpuppy> anyone knows whats pdflush when i do ps aux ?
[05:20] <Neseth> R_YoYo_R g.ho.st is a site, has 3gb of storage, access from ftp and free mail, i use it for uploading my university projects
[05:20] <R_YoYo_R> Neseth, sounds cool ... but i need far more space than that
[05:21] <Svenstaro> How can I check all my library paths (like includes/libs) registered in Ubuntu?
[05:21] <Neseth> R_YoYo_R actually r 5gb, and u can always create more than one account
[05:21] <Flannel> !repeat | Svenstaro
[05:21] <Neseth> R_YoYo_R dunno, check it out if u want: http://g.ho.st
[05:21] <Svenstaro> My question was already out of screen!
[05:21] <R_YoYo_R> Neseth, thanks
[05:22] <danbhfive> Svenstaro: echo $PATH            is that what you are looking for?
[05:22] <Flannel> Svenstaro: Yes, but we all still saw it.
[05:22] <freaky[t]> i have a question, maybe someone can help me. i've got this keyboard, logitech dinovo edge. i really like it. but everytime i start kubuntu, i first have to reconnect the keyboard (works using bluetooth). now, the usb bluetooth adapter is at the back of my pc and everytime i start kubuntu now, i have to crawl behind my pc and press that little connect button on the adapter which is in between of several other connectors. im going crazy. any advice
[05:22] <freaky[t]> or help? :D
[05:22] <H_M-Ubuntu> Flannel: Which one of this applications do you recommend for streaming on Ustream.tv?
[05:23] <Svenstaro> danbhfive, I'm not looking for env vars, I'm looking for registered libs
[05:23] <H_M-Ubuntu> these*
[05:23] <ahtmly2k> since ubuntu is free... so is it a non-profit organization? is it an organization or company at all?
[05:23] <SoulDust> found it
[05:23] <SoulDust> its in /var/games
[05:23] <Flannel> H_M-Ubuntu: I have no idea, sorry.
[05:23] <H_M-Ubuntu> Essentially, it needs to show up as a camera for flash
[05:24] <danbhfive> Svenstaro: yeah, sorry,I dunno
[05:24] <pike_> ahtmly2k: there is paid support and such see company Canonical
[05:25] <danbhfive> !canonical | ahtmly2k
[05:25] <R_YoYo_R> Neseth, wow that site is cool
[05:25] <gregbrady> I just installed 4GB on a 32 bit installation of Ubuntu 8.04 and I want to disable the swap or whatever is taking up my extra RAM.  I only have 3.3GB
[05:25] <gregbrady> Any way to do that?
[05:26] <Neseth> R_YoYo_R i like, it has a kind of online operation system in ajax, i use their browser how a proxy to access demonoid (its blocked in my country =p )
[05:26] <ahtmly2k> :) nice
[05:26] <H4shsha> how do you reset irssi settings to defaults?
[05:27] <Flannel> H4shsha: rm -r ~/.irssi
[05:27] <IdleOne> #irssi
[05:27] <Flannel> H4shsha: then start irssi
[05:27] <danbhfive> gregbrady: while 4g is what you are supposed to get, I have heard of people getting less than that.  Maybe you are running into the same problem
[05:28] <ziovan> hey flannel quick question
[05:28] <H4shsha> sweet flannel, thanks
[05:28] <gregbrady> danbhfive, ok, understood.  I've not tried XP yet with this RAM to see what I get.  That might me interesting.
[05:28] <ziovan> where is software properties tab in hardy
[05:28] <gregbrady> danbhfive, or, try a 64 bit install.....of Linux
[05:28] <Cpudan80> gregbrady: Remove your graphics card
[05:29] <IdleOne> ziovan: what do you mean by software propertires?
[05:29] <diegocrow> hello everyone, i have a Rosewill RNX-G300EX (RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI) wifi card that I'm trying to get to connect, but I'm having some trouble
[05:29] <Cpudan80> gregbrady: That's the only way to get the 4GB ram
[05:29] <Flannel> ziovan: System > Admin > Sftware properties (or software sources)
[05:29] <ziovan> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding%20the%20Universe%20and%20Multiverse%20Repositories
[05:29] <diegocrow> can anyone give me a hand?
[05:29] <Cpudan80> gregbrady: The 4GB limit in 32 bit machines is 4GB of *addressable space* not just RAM
[05:29] <gregbrady> Cpudan80, got you....but I don't think my graphics card takes up 700 MB
[05:29] <Flannel> ziovan: For some reason, they feel like changing the text all the time.  But you'll see something close to it.
[05:29] <danbhfive> gregbrady: yes, but I like to tell people that its not worth the trouble.   There is also some server thing that lets you get more than 4g of ram on a 32bit install
[05:29] <Cpudan80> gregbrady: The graphics card counts against the addressable space
[05:29] <ziovan> thanks i think i found it the gui is diff though
[05:30] <Flannel> danbhfive, gregbrady: PAE isn't really worth it.
[05:30] <Cpudan80> gregbrady: Hrm.... if your gfx card had 512 MB of RAM, the rest could be some rounding error
[05:30] <Cpudan80> 512 is very common for modern gfx card
[05:30] <Cpudan80> cards*
[05:30] <gregbrady> Cpudan80, yes, but mine has some onboard
[05:30] <Flannel> Its not taken up by graphics cards, it just really does max out at 3.3 or whatever it is.
[05:30] <gregbrady> I think 128MB onboard with 64MB shared
[05:31] <Cpudan80> Flannel: should be a little higher than 3.3 - but yeah
[05:31] <Cpudan80> Flannel: I thought it was like 3.6
[05:32] <gregbrady> Flannel, ok, but if I try a 64 bit system, will it utilize more?
[05:32] <Cpudan80> 64 bit will not have any problem
[05:32] <Cpudan80> it will see the full 4GB
[05:32] <Cpudan80> don't do the PAE hack, its not worth it
[05:32] <abrahm> can someone tell me if when you install ubuntu onto a windows drive, if you can mount the remaining windows partition rw ?
[05:32] <Cpudan80> abrahm: yes
[05:32] <abrahm> hmmm
[05:32] <Cpudan80> !ntfs | abrahm
[05:32] <Flannel> gregbrady: 64bit OSes can address like 16EB of RAM or something.
[05:32] <abrahm> it's a vfat
[05:32] <gregbrady> Cpudan80, no, 64 bit linux distro of some sort
[05:33] <abrahm> and when i try everything it wont let me do write as normal users
[05:33] <Cpudan80> abrahm: vfat? that'll work fine
[05:33] <xxpor> does anyone know if there is a new kernal that supports ACPI on the HP Pavilion tx2500
[05:33] <Cpudan80> abrahm: are you sure its vfat?
[05:33] <xxpor> kernel*
[05:33] <Cpudan80> abrahm: that would be FAT32 in windows speak
[05:33] <sekyourbox> Test
[05:33] <Cpudan80> gregbrady: right yeah - 64 bit wont have any problem (dont do the PAE hack with 32 bit)
[05:33] <abrahm> /dev/sdc5 /media/SECOND vfat users,auto,uid=kenny,gid=users,umask=000 0 0
[05:33] <Cpudan80> sekyourbox: fail
[05:33] <sekyourbox> no need for test back
[05:33] <abrahm> is the main one i have tried
[05:34] <gregbrady> Cpudan80, got you and will not try the hack.
[05:34] <macapa_tux> I need help, when I execute a video with any video player in ubuntu 8.04 it is stopped, someone can help me ?
[05:34] <Cpudan80> abrahm: yeah but that is autodetected - it is prob wron
[05:34] <abrahm> i can mount it no prob when i run my other harddrive with ubuntu on it
[05:34] <Cpudan80> wrong*
[05:34] <Cpudan80> abrahm: how many HDDs do you have - and how is each partition (on each disk) formatted?
[05:34] <bobsomebody> quick question....
[05:34] <abrahm> i have 3 drives
[05:35] <lbs> hi,I want to install ubuntu by Wubi method,but my computer cannot connect to Internet,How can I do?
[05:35] <abrahm> and 3 partitions on 2 of them
[05:35] <bobsomebody> im researching a solid "parental" control system, is edubuntu good for this?
[05:35] <gregbrady> does the wubi install on XP install a 64 bit version that will recognize the full 4 GB?
[05:35] <bobsomebody> i dont have time to research it deep if its not the end i need
[05:35] <abrahm> the with the swap stuff
[05:35] <Flannel> lbs: You just need a desktop CD, you don't need the internet
[05:35] <bobsomebody> so im asking :P
[05:35] <Cpudan80> gregbrady: no
[05:35] <ziovan> im having trouble enabling the "universe" repository
[05:35] <Cpudan80> gregbrady: Wubi is for 32 bit
[05:35] <bobsomebody> ziovan, what ver?
[05:35] <bobsomebody> ziovan, desk/serv?
[05:35] <ziovan> hardy
[05:35] <ziovan> latest i guess
[05:36] <bobsomebody> ok...
[05:36] <gregbrady> Cpudan80, on my laptop, wubi installed 64 bit version.
[05:36] <bobsomebody> desktop?
[05:36] <abrahm> cpudan, what was that wron thing about ?
[05:36] <Cpudan80> gregbrady: at least - that is my understanding - you'd have to have XP 64bit for it to work
[05:36] <sekyourbox>
[05:36] <Cpudan80> hrm.
[05:36] <Cpudan80> I stand corrected
[05:36] <ziovan> desktop?
[05:36] <bobsomebody> ziovan, open your add applications
[05:36] <Cpudan80> first time that has ever happened ;-)
[05:36] <bobsomebody> ziovan, its not server edition is it?
[05:36] <bobsomebody> its a desktop right?
[05:36] <ziovan> yesm
[05:36]  * bobsomebody is ubuntu'ed
[05:36] <bobsomebody> ziovan, ok goto the add stuff thing
[05:36] <bobsomebody> in the main menu
[05:37] <ziovan> h/o a sec
[05:37] <bobsomebody> now where u have the drop down
[05:37] <bobsomebody> up top right
[05:37] <bobsomebody> justt pick "all"
[05:37] <macapa_tux> I executed strace with mplayer with video and the return was  EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
[05:37] <bobsomebody> not "supported"
[05:37] <bobsomebody> thats "it" for simple searching
[05:37] <ziovan> should i be in add/remove apps
[05:37] <bobsomebody> yeah
[05:37] <bobsomebody> there
[05:37] <shingen> is ubuntu SE available as a metapackage?
[05:37] <bobsomebody> see the combo box? in the top right?
[05:38] <bobsomebody> pick all available applications
[05:38] <abrahm> cyas
[05:38] <Flannel> shingen: What are you looking to install?
[05:38] <bobsomebody> you can enable mp3's, everything
[05:38] <bobsomebody> that fast
[05:38] <ziovan> yead middle

[05:38] <shingen> Flannel: skins and wallpaper mainly
[05:38] <bobsomebody> you install on the list you might get stuck even if u would pay
[05:38] <ziovan> right it says all avail now
[05:38] <Flannel> shingen: Server edition has no skins, nor wallpaper.  It doesn't have a GUI
[05:38] <bobsomebody> so if u want to pay into it dont use those unsuported ones
[05:38] <bobsomebody> hmm
[05:38] <shingen> Flannel: satanic edition,  not server
[05:38] <bobsomebody> on hardy??

[05:44] <illmortal> anyone know how to check the ghz of the processor via terminal?
[05:44] <pc3> #makassar
[05:44] <wols> illmortal: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[05:44] <pc3> #Bandung
[05:44] <diegocrow> can Anyone give me a hand with a wificard?
[05:44] <ziovan> i know it lol
[05:44] <Flannel> pc3: Stop
[05:45] <illmortal> 2750.556 means it's pushing 2.7?
[05:45] <illmortal> 2.75*
[05:45] <pc3> #Jakarta
[05:46] <wols> illmortal: it clearly says "cpu MHz"
[05:46] <illmortal> ha... so that means I'm pushing 2.75 ghz, right?
[05:47] <illmortal> I just bumped up 200mhz :p my p4 is a 2.5ghz processor
[05:47] <pc3> hahahaha........
[05:49] <bdunlap> i dont have /proc/cpuinfo is that normal?
[05:49] <wols> bdunlap: then you don't run linux
[05:49] <bdunlap> nm it shows it but i cant view it
[05:49] <bdunlap> wols, very funny
[05:49] <diegocrow> hello everyone, i have a Rosewill RNX-G300EX (RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI) wifi card that I'm trying to get to connect, but I'm having some trouble
[05:49] <diegocrow> can anyone give me a hand?
[05:50] <bdunlap> i had to be in the dir to view it... weird.
[05:50] <wols> bdunlap: it wasn't intended as funny. if we assume you tell the truth this is the only possible outcome
[05:50] <wols> bdunlap: you don'tr
[05:50] <pc3> hai........
[05:51] <wols> pc3: do you have a ubuntu related question?
[05:51] <jimmio> Anyone know of a midi editor for Ubuntu>
[05:51] <pc3> yup
[05:51] <R_YoYo_R> jimmio, rosegarden
[05:51] <wols> pc3: which is?
[05:52] <pc3> syeft
[05:52] <jimmio> R_YoYo_R: thanks
[05:52] <bdunlap> wols, if i said "i don't have /proc/cpuinfo" that doesn't mean I don't have /proc so by assuming i don't have /proc you are assuming your answer incorrectly.
[05:52] <jimmio> How about a program similar in functionality to Fruity Loops Studio?
[05:52] <R_YoYo_R> jimmio, dont know
[05:52] <pc3> wols do you no indo
[05:52] <diegocrow> jimmio, i don't know of that program
[05:52] <danbhfive> diegocrow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT61   maybe that will help?  I have no idea
[05:53] <wols> bloodboy: you said you don't have a file which EVERY linux kernel shows.  QED
[05:53] <wols> bloodboy: my answer is 100% correct
[05:53] <jimmio> It's a 300 some dollar piece of software for Windows only.
[05:54] <R_YoYo_R> jimmio, i have used it
[05:54] <R_YoYo_R> jimmio, wine may run it
[05:55] <jimmio> Hmm... but also have ASIO working properly to get a millisecond of delay total?  Oh happy day.
[05:58] <cmonk82> hi all
[05:58] <Adross> i think my gdm theme is causing problems. My gdm windows just hangs, showing the waiting cursor icon. How can i change my gdm theme from the console environment?
[06:01] <bullgard4> [LAN with ADSL connection] Laptopcomputer 1 has no Internet connection after operating it elsewhere last night. ping to the LAN router functions. 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' obtains: "[OK]". 'ping www.google.com' obtains: "ping: unknown host www.google.com". How to fix that?
[06:03] <thomasite> Hello
[06:03] <thomasite> I have a question. My friend, who uses XP on his desktop PC, wants to remotely log-in to my laptop (which runs on Ubuntu).
[06:03] <gavimobile> hey foolks i have no propitery drivers listed in ubuntu, not sure what i did to make them disapear, but how can i make them come back?
[06:04] <thomasite> I have already followed some steps I found on the Internet, specifically that of setting up Remote Desktop
[06:04] <thomasite> What else do I have to do?
[06:04] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, enable remote desktop on your machine. have him run the tightvnc client and type in your IP
[06:04] <germ_414> Hi all. i've got my sound working, but can't record. I can hear the input through the speakers (if i talk in mic i hear it in speakers), but audacity and "sound recorder" both error... any ideas?
[06:04] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, i remote into my machine from work daily ... are you behind a router?
[06:05] <dVs--> if i downloaded frostwire and it installed itself but now doesnt work how do i uninstall it ? the packedge manager thing installed it
[06:05] <thomasite> He says he is using something like VNC.
[06:05] <thomasite> I already gave him my IP address as well as my password
[06:05] <MasterFruityLoop> sudo apt-del frostwire
[06:05] <thomasite> I think I am behind a router.
[06:05] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, something "like" vnc?
[06:05] <thomasite> Is there any issue that I have to deal since I am behind a router.
[06:05] <thomasite> ?
[06:05] <danbhfive> thomasite: does your ip being with 192.168...?
[06:05] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, what do you mean you think? do you have arouter?
[06:06] <thomasite> I don't exactly know what the 'brand' of the software he is using but it's vnc.
[06:06] <thomasite> Yes, my IP begins with those numbers
[06:06] <danbhfive> thomasite: you are behind a router
[06:06] <thomasite> I am not sure if I am behind a router. :(
[06:06] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, ok
[06:06] <dVs--> MasterFruityLoop command not found
[06:07] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, so you need to set up an account with dyndns.org
[06:07] <danbhfive> thomasite: I'm sure, but its a problem that you aren't.  The reason being is because you need to do some setup on that router I think
[06:07] <thomasite> How do I setup an account? Is it free?
[06:07] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, set up a domain name and use port forwarding on your router to forward port 5900 to the ip of your laptop
[06:07] <MasterFruityLoop> dVs-?
[06:07] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, its free
[06:07] <thomasite> How do I do that?
[06:07] <danbhfive> R_YoYo_R: that doesnt make up for setting up the router correctly
[06:08] <dVs--> MasterFruityLoop i tried that command
[06:08] <sitexec> after installing ubuntu on my laptop, a sony viao, the system is unable to hibernate/sleep, it simply does not come back from these after a close the lid/tell it to hibernate
[06:08] <Kurt> Adross: What does "less /etc/gdm/gdm.conf | grep GraphicalTheme=" return?
[06:08] <thomasite> Okay
[06:08] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, you would most likely want to set a static IP on your laptop too
[06:08] <thomasite> So I'm visiting dynDNS.orgnow
[06:08] <dVs--> sudo: apt-del: command not found
[06:08] <R_YoYo_R> danbhfive,
[06:08] <Kurt> (without the quotes)
[06:08] <R_YoYo_R> danbhfive, ??
[06:08] <Adross> Kurt: already fixed it. Gdm eventually started, changed back to default, everythings ok
[06:08] <Adross> thanks anyway
[06:08] <Kurt> ok :)
[06:08] <thomasite> I have a static IP. At least that's what the manual network configuration tool says
[06:08] <R_YoYo_R> danbhfive, you know a better way? do tell
[06:09] <danbhfive> R_YoYo_R: dont send him to dyndns, its not necessary at this point
[06:09] <alpha232> jeeeze Runway is takin fo-eva
[06:09] <R_YoYo_R> danbhfive, well ... unless his router had a static IP
[06:09] <cmonk82> hello
[06:09] <thomasite> How do  I check if my router has static IP?
[06:09] <thomasite> My IP is static. Does this mean that my router's IP is also static>
[06:09] <thomasite> ?
[06:10] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, depends if your ISP gives you one ... i know comcast doesnt give me one
[06:10] <fulio> Hi, im having some problems. im using 7.04 and i have never did any updates in awhile so i finally did it today , and it said to restart which i did, then i got failed to start xserver. so i did the sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg and it was fix then when was able to login now the graphics is all messed up and my CF isnt working anymore any ideas?
[06:10] <danbhfive> R_YoYo_R: well, I think he should first setup his router correctly, then just use <IP_ADDRESS>            once that works, THEN he can worry about dynDNS
[06:10] <thomasite> Assuming that my router has static IP, what do I have to do next?
[06:10] <R_YoYo_R> danbhfive, ok ... agreed
[06:10] <R_YoYo_R> danbhfive, good point
[06:11]  * thomasite is boggled
[06:11] <dVs--> if i downloaded frostwire and it installed itself but now doesnt work how do i uninstall it ? the packedge manager thing installed it
[06:11] <Talon3793> i've been browsing the ubuntu site, and i had a question, is the default install a live install? can i download a DVD iso of an offline installation if so? I'm a SuSE user lookin for a change, n i wanted to try ubuntu, i was told to try ubuntu or fedora. every SuSE release I've downloaded a DVD with all the stuff rather than the live CD. much easier for me I think.
[06:11] <thomasite> What do I have to do next? Please. Thanks.
[06:12] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, what kind of router?
[06:12] <danbhfive> thomasite: your first step in all this is to login to your router, and open up the port that R_YoYo_R suggested, I think it was 5100?
[06:12] <danbhfive> thomasite: 5900
[06:12] <fulio> Hi guys, i had a update today and it told me to restart right after it finished then i got a failed to start xserver
[06:12] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, danbhfive the default port for remote desktop in ubuntu is 5900 but through the gui you can change it to whatever you want
[06:13] <thomasite> How do I login to my router?
[06:13] <thomasite> I don't know what my router is. :(
[06:13] <Kurt> Talon3793: if you are using a liveCD, you will not need an internet connection (it is not "live" in the online sense) to complete the installation
[06:13] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, in a browser try typing in <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:13] <thomasite> okay
[06:13] <fulio> May someone help me?
[06:13] <thomasite> It says: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at <IP_ADDRESS>.
[06:13] <Kurt> Talon3793: LiveCD simply means that you can try the distribution out via the CD before actually committing to installing it
[06:13] <R_YoYo_R> try <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:14] <Talon3793> well some distros a live cd is, internet install, others is a bootable demonstration, etc..
[06:14] <Talon3793> didnt know what to do when i saw live
[06:14] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, your wireless right?
[06:14] <danbhfive> thomasite: you can also try <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:14] <thomasite> No. I'm on a LAN (?) I'm not using a wireless connection.
[06:14] <bullgard4> [LAN with ADSL connection] Laptop computer 1 has no Internet connection after operating it elsewhere last night. ping to the LAN router functions. 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' obtains: "[OK]". 'ping www.google.com' obtains: "ping: unknown host www.google.com". nmapplet > Network Settings > DNS does not let me fill in an address in the 'DNS Servers' field. How to fix that?
[06:15] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, did you set up the router?
[06:15] <Kurt> Talon3793: Right, I understand :)
[06:15] <Kurt> Good luck with trying Ubuntu!
[06:16] <thomasite> I tried <IP_ADDRESS> but it's taking the browser very long to load anything
[06:16] <thomasite> I'm just a 'subscriber' to the LAN.
[06:17] <thomasite> I don't know who set up the router.
[06:17] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, even if we get the right ip you will still need to know the username and password to log into your router ... which is why if you didnt set this up then
[06:17] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, this isnt going to work then
[06:17] <Talon3793> I doubt its what i want... but i figure i'd give it a shot... I'm looking to get video capture with my ATI all in wonder card so i can finally ditch windows and no longer dual boot, and my card isnt supported under the gatos project, its a newer one... SuSE supports the 3d acceleration but not the video capture and im afraid all distros will inevitably end in the same result
[06:18] <thomasite> Oh. :(
[06:18] <thomasite> There's no other way? (Thanks for the assistance.)
[06:18] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, im trying to think of any other ways ....
[06:18] <danbhfive> thomasite: you would have to talk to your network administrator for help
[06:19] <thomasite> Okay. :D
[06:19] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, the point being having him remote in to check out ubuntu?
[06:19] <R_YoYo_R> i spilled beer on my keybord!
[06:19] <R_YoYo_R> oh god
[06:20] <danbhfive> R_YoYo_R: maybe there is some way he can initiate the connection somehow?
[06:20] <thomasite> My friend wants to access some of my files
[06:20] <StepNjump> Eh guys, in order to see my NTFS files on a different computer over a network, am I supposed to mount the remote disk location so I can see it?
[06:20] <R_YoYo_R> danbhfive, a guy at my work was telling me of a way to do just that .... but i cant remember how
[06:21] <Talon3793> thomasite, many routers you can download the manual for if you know the make and model, and in that manual is the access address, default username, and password. assuming this is a home setup, and that the login information hasnt been changed, the manual will help you get rolling.. I had to do that for my westell that came free with my subscription to DSL
[06:21] <thomasite> I see.
[06:21] <thomasite> I've read in the forums about SSH.
[06:21] <thomasite> Is this another way to do remote login?
[06:22] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, its not linux specific .... if you had a windows machine how would he log into it?
[06:22] <LSD|Ninja> SSH is remote console login, it doesn't do graphics by itself
[06:22] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, i know there are free trials of gotomeeting and stuff ... dont know if that works for linux
[06:22] <thomasite> It says there, and allow me to quote: If you want to securely connect to your machine from a remote computer, even a computer running another operating system like Mac OS or Windows, then you need to install the openssh-server package from the main repository.
[06:22] <citizen42alpha> no, for that bit of wizardry you'll need VNC aswell.
[06:23] <citizen42alpha> don't confuse the lad though.
[06:23] <ph0rensic_> Is there an easy way to find out which device I am using? I mean I know from the GUI which one it is but I dont know its /dev/dsp ...?? Im trying to get sound to work in vmware
[06:23] <amenado> ahem...remote login does not require VNC
[06:23] <R_YoYo_R> amenado, thats not what he said
[06:23] <DaFFes> has anyone installed the chrome? I built it but now i don't know how to run the browser, does anyone knows?
[06:24] <amenado> R_YoYo_R-> who ?
[06:24] <LSD|Ninja> DaFFes: Chrome doesn't have a UI on anything but Windows yet afaik. You can compile it, but it won't do much
[06:24] <jimmio> I dislike Jack Audio Server muchly... I could never get it to work... but it seems it's working now... Why do the recording things use Jack?
[06:25] <DaFFes> LSD|Ninja you mean that all process in the site http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-linux won't make me run ?
[06:25]  * thomasite is frothing at the mouth.
[06:25] <LSD|Ninja> thomasite: What are you trying to do? I jumped in late
[06:26] <R_YoYo_R> i find that vino running on ubuntu and tightvnc client running on winblows boxes works the best ... right out of the box too (if you have router set up)
[06:26] <thomasite> I didn't know remote login is so complicated.
[06:26] <LSD|Ninja> DaFFes: It says right there in teh red box
[06:26] <DaFFes> umm
[06:26] <DaFFes> didn't read it
[06:26] <DaFFes> wtf
[06:28] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, if you could get your network admin to forward port 5900 (or whatever really) to your ip address this would "just work"
[06:28] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, as it stands the remote computer has no route to your computer which is in its own network
[06:29] <myr> i wish installing ubuntu server would "just work" :[
[06:29] <R_YoYo_R> myr, sorry
[06:29] <ph0rensic_> myr.. what do you mean it doesn't?
[06:29] <ph0rensic_> I installed it recently and it just works
[06:29] <myr> trying to install server on a box with 128mb ram, it hangs during the installation
[06:29] <ph0rensic_> I mena there are configurations and tweaks that should be applied
[06:30] <LSD|Ninja> DaFFes: Linux and Mac versions are planned, just be patient. Good things come to those who wait as they say :P
[06:30] <thomasite> Then, there's no way for my friend to remotely login. :(
[06:30] <ph0rensic_> myr: Did you check the disk?
[06:30] <myr> ph0rensic_, yes
[06:30] <R_YoYo_R> myr, do non graphic?
[06:30] <thomasite> Thanks for the help, y'all. :) I appreciate your giving me your thoughts on this matter.
[06:30] <ph0rensic_> thomasite: why not?
[06:30] <ph0rensic_> thomasite: Is quite easy
[06:30] <ph0rensic_> THis is a home router?
[06:31] <R_YoYo_R> ph0rensic_, you must not have been here long enough
[06:31] <myr> R_YoYo_R, is there another .iso i would need besides the server one that would work better with low ram?
[06:31] <ph0rensic_> probably not i just got here but what is his problem?
[06:31] <jigp> hello is there a way to have fast internet with my ubuntu server 8.04? very slow net connect...this is my setup : isp modem route type --- ubuntu --- switch --- 40 units... if i use netgear router, internet is really fast ... compare to ubuntu... :(
[06:31] <R_YoYo_R> myr, i dont know. never done a ubuntu server. never even thought about it
[06:32] <ph0rensic_> myr: I think there are lighter server installations than ubuntu server
[06:32] <QtQ> any one have a good reason for a good joke ?
[06:32] <danbhfive> myr I think there is a work around of just settting up the swap partition before you start the install process
[06:32] <myr> ph0rensic_, any recommendations for a LAMP distro then?
[06:33] <thomasite> Huh?
[06:33] <ph0rensic_> R_YoYo_R: So what was the big let down for thomasite ? WHy cant he get it to work?
[06:33] <R_YoYo_R> myr, debian etch
[06:33] <Kurt> debian server install is quite good
[06:33] <danbhfive> ph0rensic_: he doesnt know the setup of his network...
[06:33] <R_YoYo_R> ph0rensic_, he doesnt have access to his router
[06:33] <ph0rensic_> R_YoYo_R: Oh, he'd need that to forward 5900
[06:34] <R_YoYo_R> ph0rensic_, right
[06:34] <ph0rensic_> thomasite: how come you don't have access to your router?
[06:34] <myr> I couldnt even get puppy linux to boot on the machine. DSL boots and runs fine. I installed it to HD but can't find good docs to install ubuntu from DSL
[06:34] <BlackTurd> I have 804 installed with wubi that died today. Can I just delete the ubuntu folder and run wubi install again?
[06:34] <R_YoYo_R> ph0rensic_, i dont think its a home network ...
[06:34] <thomasite> I don't know.
[06:34] <amenado> myr-> kindly look into using debootstrap to install ubuntu from DSL
[06:35] <ph0rensic_> BlackTurd: WUbi is p00 do a real install?
[06:35] <thomasite> I live in a dormitory. And I'm just a 'subscriber'
[06:35] <R_YoYo_R> ^^^
[06:35] <myr> amenado, i have seen https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/linux-upgrade.html but it's nearly 2 years old
[06:35] <BlackTurd> I'd do a real install but have no cd drive and can't boot to usb <toshiba m200>
[06:35] <R_YoYo_R> thomasite, question....is your friend in the same dorms?
[06:35] <QtQ> whomasite is close too close...
[06:35] <amenado> thomasite-> being a subscriber, have the school not provided you with info on how to connect to your network?
[06:35] <ph0rensic_> thomasite: ohh...that sucks..hey R_YoYo_R  is there a reverse connection workaround he can do?
[06:36] <thomasite> No, my friend lives at least 200 miles away.
[06:36] <R_YoYo_R> ph0rensic_, there is  ... i know there is. but i dont know how to go about setting it up
[06:36] <amenado> myr-> once more, officially, ubuntu supports debootstrap install, so look for this okay?
[06:36] <myr> amenado, ok
[06:36] <thomasite> We were just given the IP address, the DNS whatevers. Aside from those, there are no other details as regards net connection.
[06:37] <leaphion> ummm... hi
[06:37] <Arodon> The media keys aren't working on my Toshiba Satellite. The instructions here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys) didn't help -- dmesg doesn't provide any output about unknown keys etc, keytouch-editor doesn't respond to anything. What else should I be trying?
[06:37] <amenado> thomasite-> that should be ample info to get you started, what are these info? be clear now
[06:37] <danbhfive> Arodon: keytouch doesnt work?
[06:37] <leaphion> problem: my ethernet connection with Realtek RTL8168B can connect to my desktop with a static IP but when I try to get another IP through DHCP it stops working. dmesg says the following: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
[06:37] <leaphion> using ubuntu hardy heron
[06:38] <thomasite> The IP address, the two DNS numbers.
[06:38] <thomasite> No more.
[06:38] <thomasite> :(
[06:38] <Mindhazingsquid> How would I install nvidia drivers from Synaptic?
[06:38] <R_YoYo_R> ph0rensic_, thomasite a guy at my work has some app that he runs and it does a "reverse" connection ... but i have no idea what it is. now i wished i asked him
[06:38] <danbhfive> Mindhazingsquid: use the driver-manager instead
[06:38] <amenado> thomasite-> and are you using same ip address now? i assume using xp?
[06:38] <thomasite> :)
[06:38] <ph0rensic_> Mindhazingsquid: You want to use the restricted driver manager
[06:38] <R_YoYo_R> ph0rensic_, thomasite, might take some research
[06:38] <thomasite> I'm using Ubuntu
[06:38] <Mercury-> does xmms not exist anymore or something!/
[06:38] <amenado> !who | thomasite
[06:39] <hacked```> guys
[06:39] <ph0rensic_> R_YoYo_R: Yah thats a little tricky with a school dorm.. Really may need to find reverse connection workaround
[06:39] <prince_jammys> Mercury-: it's 'audacity' now
[06:39] <hacked```> i just booted to a xubuntu live cd
[06:39] <hacked```> but how do i see my windows fs ?
[06:39] <ph0rensic_> Mercury-: You have to install it from source
[06:39] <prince_jammys> Mercury-: sorry, audacious
[06:39] <LSD|Ninja> Mercury-: xmms has been moreorless dead for a few years now, distros aare removing from their repos
[06:39] <leaphion> Mercury-: Audacious is the pretty much the successor of that
[06:39] <amenado> thomasite-> you are already using ubuntu? now what is the problem again?
[06:39] <ph0rensic_> <--uses xmms
[06:39] <R_YoYo_R> ph0rensic_, i dont know what i would do without my remote connection :)
[06:39] <DEURTYE> sarah palin is owning
[06:39] <leaphion> <--uses audacious
[06:39] <DEURTYE> anyone listening to the RNC
[06:39] <ph0rensic_> R_YoYo_R: I know huh
[06:40] <Arodon> danbhfive: nope, I've tried a couple different keyboard models that I thought might apply, but nothing at all
[06:40] <danbhfive> Arodon: so, you tried the editor to make your own model?
[06:40] <ozzloy> what's a good light-weight media player?
[06:40] <R_YoYo_R> audacious
[06:40] <Mindhazingsquid> danbhfive, Where would I find that?  Is it Hardware Drivers under Administration?
[06:40] <ozzloy> for use on a umpc
[06:40] <ozzloy> R_YoYo_R: i'll look into that
[06:40] <danbhfive> Mindhazingsquid: yes
[06:41] <DEURTYE> uh..
[06:41] <DEURTYE> why ubuntu does not work with internet
[06:41] <clarence_> hello
[06:41] <DEURTYE> does ubuntu have internet or not
[06:41] <thomasite> amenado, my friend uses XP and he wants to remotely login to my laptop which runs on Ubuntu.
[06:41] <R_YoYo_R> DEURTYE, yes it does. most of us are using ubuntu right now to chat
[06:42] <clarence_> who can teach me how to set the ubuntu  compiz
[06:42] <prince_jammys> not worth responding to that
[06:42] <Arodon> danbhfive: correct, however it wouldn't react to any of the buttons
[06:42] <hacked```> i just booted to a xubuntu live cd, but how do i see my windows fs (ntfs or fat32) ?
[06:42] <amenado> thomasite-> if your school dis-alllows you, do not bend the rules or else...
[06:42] <jimmio> And some of us are using Pidgin that COMES WITH Ubuntu to chat here (like myself) =D
[06:42] <danbhfive> Arodon: are you sure you selected the correct device?
[06:42] <prince_jammys> !compiz | clarence_
[06:42] <LSD|Ninja> clarence_: Hardest part of getting compiz running is ensuring your graphics drivers are in a state to actually support it
[06:42] <Mindhazingsquid> danbhfive, does it automaticly install the latest ones for your card?
[06:42] <ph0rensic_> clarence_: You have 8.04?
[06:42] <danbhfive> Mindhazingsquid: hopefully
[06:43] <clarence_> My laptop is asus M9V
[06:43] <Arodon> danbhfive: I tried with each of them (although I'm pretty sure that 'event1' - 'AT Translated Set 2 keyboard' is the right one)
[06:43] <error404notfound> I have install Wine (latest), cabextract, and ieforlinux, then I installed Counter strike. It asked for gecko, I let it download, now when I see that OK screen, the game hangs up... why?
[06:43] <mmm4m5m> hi all. One question please: I have linksys wireless pcmcia card (realtek chipset). As I read, it is not working with build in ubuntu (gutsy) r8180 driver (at least WAP is not working). That is why I installed ndiswrapper. I works perfectly if I: 1) plugin wireless card; 2) 'rmmod r8180' 3) unplug and plugin again the wireless card. This is how finally 'lshw -C network' show that ndiswrapper driver is used. The question is: if I blacklist module r8180 and r
[06:43] <Flannel> error404notfound: Try #winehq they'll know more
[06:43] <pauLabz> haloo people...
[06:43] <clarence_> My Ubutnu isn't 8.04
[06:43] <clarence_> Is 7.10
[06:43] <QtQ> :)
[06:44] <danbhfive> Arodon: what? event1?  I mean, when you first start keytouch-editor, it asks you to select the keyboard device
[06:44] <ph0rensic_> Guys did 7.10 have compiz built-in
[06:44] <Flannel> ph0rensic_: no
[06:44] <LSD|Ninja> clarence_: ATi graphics? That'll make things difficult...
[06:44] <clarence_> Who ShipIt Ubuntu cds success?
[06:44] <danbhfive> Arodon: are you able to select the correct one, and start setting keys up?
[06:44] <ph0rensic_> clarence_: can you upgrade to 8.04?
[06:44] <QtQ> any one have a good reason this nigth too compile the 3.6.10 kenel in my machine :)
[06:45] <clarence_> yes not yet
[06:45] <crd1b> ph0rensic_: yes, it had version 0.6
[06:45] <clarence_> what is 0.6
[06:45] <ph0rensic_> clarence_: you should upgrade to 8.04
[06:45] <Arodon> danbhfive: ah, didn't mention that I'm running Intrepid, so the new evdev keyboard system labels the keyboard event1, however the media keys have never worked (been using U. since Edgy), and I don't think that the new driver system is making a difference in this case
[06:45] <prince_jammys> there are compiz packages for gutsy
[06:45] <ph0rensic_> Then make sure your restricted drivers are updated to use your accelerated graphics then install ccsm
[06:45] <R_YoYo_R> 8.04 is much better with compiz integration
[06:45] <Merc-away> how does one get rid of the line in xchat, where all the nicks are during chat?
[06:45] <Merc-away> i cant find the damn option.
[06:45] <bazz> is there a super lightweight text editor that does spell check?  basically i want mousepad with spelling
[06:46] <Merc-away> it's killing me
[06:46] <DEURTYE> WHAT IS LINUX
[06:46] <ph0rensic_> DEURTYE: It is an Operating System
[06:46] <clarence_> My board band is very slow
[06:46] <R_YoYo_R> bazz, abiword?
[06:46] <R_YoYo_R> !linux
[06:46] <QtQ> linux is a university program...
[06:46] <ph0rensic_> clarence_: It's a laptop yes?   The screen doesn't go away
[06:47] <pauLabz> how do fix brocken packages in linux?
[06:47] <DEURTYE> OH
[06:47] <LSD|Ninja> clarence_: that's far from "ver slow" Geez...
[06:47] <danbhfive> Arodon: rather, the popup doesnt go away
[06:47] <LSD|Ninja> very*
[06:47] <DEURTYE> WHY IS LINUX  NOT WORK THEN
[06:47] <danbhfive> pauLabz: try sudo apt-get install -f
[06:47] <Flannel> QtQ: Please take offtopic discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[06:47] <bazz> R_YoYo_R: hrmm, it does a bit more than i need but maybe it's the best option
[06:47] <Ububegin> I am using ssh to login to remote system. Its running linux.. But is there a way for me to determine, what distro is it running... thanks..
[06:47] <Flannel> !caps | DEURTYE
[06:48] <ph0rensic_> DEURTYE: You have to be more specific. It works extremely well for most of us
[06:48] <R_YoYo_R> bazz, there may be another option ... but i dont know
[06:48] <LSD|Ninja> Ububegin: there's usually are /etc/something-release type file that has that info
[06:48] <R_YoYo_R> i have no windows machines at home
[06:48] <QtQ> sure flannel u paste the message of gusty gibbon in the internet :)
[06:48] <DEURTYE> Flannel CAN YOU PLEASE SUCK A COK?
[06:48] <Arodon> danbhfive: right... (the same thing happened last time I was looking into this under Hardy)
[06:48] <clarence_> Who request ubuntu cds success?
[06:48] <amenado> Ububegin-> once you logged in, type uname -r
[06:48] <R_YoYo_R> my main "desktop" is ubuntu ... i have a debian and a centOS server
[06:48] <DEURTYE> ?
[06:48] <DEURTYE> WHAT HAPPENED?
[06:49] <Flannel> DEURTYE: Please obey the channel guidelines.    I'm not sure I'm understanding
[06:50] <DEURTYE> Ububegin: not your channel, chump. stfu
[06:50] <Myrtti> Ububegin: please, mind your language
[06:50] <Myrtti> DEURTYE: you too
[06:50] <ph0rensic_> ok happy times
[06:50] <danbhfive> Arodon: which media key is not working?
[06:51] <leaphion> problem: my ethernet connection with Realtek RTL8168B can connect to my desktop with a static IP but when I try to get another IP through DHCP it stops working. dmesg says the following: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
[06:51] <Jakob_the_liar> how do i make my laptops screen go into powersave or go dark when im not using gnome-screensaver or xscreensaver
[06:51] <R_YoYo_R> is anyone here from the u.s.? sorry off topic
[06:51] <QtQ> :)
[06:51] <clarence__> How to install software
[06:51] <Jakob_the_liar> im not using any screensaver and it keeps going black after about 2 minutes if i dont do anything
[06:51] <Flannel> R_YoYo_R: Try #ubuntu-us
[06:51] <clarence__> ins linux
[06:51] <amenado> leaphion-> you have to remove your static ip address then enable the dhcp client, having them both on at same time will cause you issues
[06:51] <ph0rensic_> R_YoYo_R: yup
[06:51] <myr> R_YoYo_R, i am?
[06:52] <R_YoYo_R> Jakob_the_liar, i think you can set it in xorg.conf
[06:52] <leaphion> amenado: how do I remove the static ip-address?
[06:52]  * jimmio raises hand to R_YoYo_R's question
[06:52] <LSD|Ninja> Jakob_the_liar: power saving is killing the backlight
[06:52] <Jakob_the_liar> how R_YoYo_R
[06:52] <quequay> R_YoYo_R: yes.
[06:52] <Ububegin> amenado: Got this .. "Linux version 2.6.9-67.0.22.ELsmp<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)) #1 SMP Wed Jul 23 17:30:51 EDT 2008
[06:52] <Ububegin> " . is it centos , Redhat hybrid of sorts
[06:52] <amenado> leaphion-> man interfaces
[06:52] <Jakob_the_liar> how do i fix it LSD|Ninja
[06:52] <Arodon> danbhfive: all of them (WWW, some 'media start' looking button, play, stop, back, forward) the only key outside of the main keyboard that functions is the power button
[06:52] <amenado> Ububegin-> i assume reading that would have given you a hint by now
[06:52] <ballsac> hi..
[06:53] <R_YoYo_R> Ububegin, that probably means your running centOS and not ubuntu try #centOS
[06:53] <LSD|Ninja> CentOS is basically RHEL compiled from SRPMs and teh RH identifiers remove
[06:53] <ballsac> where to get cd
[06:53] <clarence__> who can answer my question?
[06:53] <danbhfive> Arodon: so, when you start keytouch-editor, which key do you use to select the correct device?
[06:53] <LSD|Ninja> Jakob_the_liar: check the standard power management controls I would imagine
[06:53] <ballsac> where to get ubuntu CD fast
[06:53] <ballsac> fast download
[06:53] <Jakob_the_liar> and how do i do that
[06:53] <R_YoYo_R> clarence_, what do you want to install?
[06:53] <ballsac> how to download ubuntu CD fast
[06:53] <QtQ> hey boys any one have a good reason too no compile the new kernel off linux

[06:54] <R_YoYo_R> clarence_, what is that?
[06:54] <myr> wow mepis appears to be booting
[06:54] <jimmio> !patience | ballsac
[06:54] <LSD|Ninja> R_YoYo_R: it let you run OS X on top of a Linux base back in the PowerPC days iirc
[06:54] <ballsac> LSD|Ninja ok thanks for ur support ok ur only one who help. but how to find close mirror
[06:54] <Ububegin> R_YoYo_R: :D .. Actually, i am running ubuntu on my system.. the remote system is running centos... Shit,..
[06:54] <R_YoYo_R> ballsac, torrents usually go fast
[06:54] <amenado> QtQ lots of reasons, can be intimidating, and why do you need to compile a new one?
[06:54] <jimmio> ballsac: Your name isn't family appropriate...
[06:55] <LSD|Ninja> ballsac: Ubuntu have a lit on their site. ISPs sometimes have mirrors too, try yours
[06:55] <LSD|Ninja> list*
[06:55] <ballsac> jimmio: pls. talk about linux or ubuntu  dont make offtopic comments pls.
[06:55] <R_YoYo_R> Ububegin, watch the language
[06:55] <ballsac> LSD|Ninja i use insight as ISP
[06:55] <OmfgItsAShark> would anybody happen to know anything about hardware???
[06:55] <clarence__> hello
[06:55] <ballsac> cable intenert i mean its fast but not as fast as school
[06:55] <LSD|Ninja> OmfgItsAShark: #hardware
[06:55] <QtQ> amenando it is soo quite i have a restore HD
[06:56] <OmfgItsAShark> thanks
[06:56] <jimmio> ballsac: How is it off topic when your name isn't family appropriate, yet this channel is meant for everyone and anyone?
[06:56] <clarence__> how to install eclipse
[06:56] <QtQ> why not :)
[06:56] <amenado> QtQ i dont comprehend
[06:56] <clarence__> I don't know how to install
[06:56] <LSD|Ninja> ballsac: have a poke around their site, they might have a file archive and linux mirror
[06:56] <ballsac> jimmio becos ur concentration on creating trouble when i am talking about ubuntu and linux. pls. keep personal comments out . just a request
[06:56] <n-iCe> does anyone knows a software like movie maker?
[06:56] <R_YoYo_R> its not fair to swear or have in appropriate names in here. this should be professional support as much as it can be
[06:56] <QtQ> yea is wxcam
[06:57] <asho79> clarence: eclipseme or just eclipse?
[06:57] <ballsac> LSD|Ninja: ok! im going it now i hope to find something thnx
[06:57] <Flannel> clarence__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto  will give you a rundown of it
[06:57] <asho79> eclipse is in the synaptic manager
[06:57] <Arodon> danbhfive: ohh I think I misunderstood the earlier question. I can't even select the device - it doesn't respond to any of the keys, special or regular
[06:57] <clarence__> eclipse C
[06:57] <leaphion> amenado: sorry to disturb, but should I use ifconfig or the Network Configurator GUI for changing the IP? I have an ubuntu on my desktop and changing static IP to dhcp is as easy and working as "ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS>" and "dhclient eth0"
[06:57] <LSD|Ninja> ballsac: Ubuntu is popular enough that it shouldn't be too hard to find a relatively fast mirror close to you
[06:57] <jimmio> Hmm, I don't know of ubottu saying anything about inappropriate names, anyone have the command?
[06:57] <danbhfive> Arodon: have you tried a different device then?
[06:57] <Arodon> danbhfive: although I am able to use the power button to select the power button device (separate from the main keyboard)
[06:58] <Ububegin> R_YoYo_R: sorry, dude.. just frustrated that I have to learn CentOs now.. thanks all for the help..
[06:58] <amenado> leaphion-> either tool is okay to use, whatever suits your needs
[06:58] <R_YoYo_R> leaphion, network config worked great for me
[06:58] <clarence__> sometime i use "su"  to switch
[06:58] <R_YoYo_R> Ububegin, no worries
[06:58] <clarence__> toot
[06:58] <|Zippo|> somebody user a BT Headset on ubuntu?

[06:58] <seano1> Hello all...help with a small, small problem anyone?
[06:58] <ballsac> *** how to stop jimmio from ccreating trouble in this channel? hes the only one not talking about ubuntu
[06:58] <Flannel> clarence__: you don't need su, just use sudo instead.
[06:58] <prince_jammys> seano1: just ask.
[06:58] <Arodon> danbhfive: the other devices - lid switch, video bus, ps/2 mouse, apls glide point, acpi device, macintosh mouse button emulation - don't seem to react to anything
[06:58] <ph0rensic_> !ask | seano1
[06:58] <leaphion> amenado: m'kay... then the IP shouldn't be the case
[06:58] <clarence__> and use makefile
[06:58] <clarence__> command
[06:59] <danbhfive> Arodon: I would check every device, trying the media keys.... o , ok
[06:59] <Orchid`> hello cna anyone help me get a i686 copy of ubuntu LTS?
[06:59] <QtQ> small small problem like what
[06:59] <amenado> leaphion-> good luck.. am out for now..
[06:59] <seano1> Could swear there was a little keyboard layout applet when I installed, but it's gone away.  Can't seem to find out where it is or how to re-enable it.
[06:59] <danbhfive> Arodon: sounds like it might be a bug then...
[06:59] <Flynsarmy> Anyone here know much about the default ubuntu clock applet? I want to know how to findo ut what URL it's getting its weather info from
[06:59] <clarence__>  but some time I don't  know how to install
[06:59] <leaphion> amenado: k thx bye! :)
[06:59] <myr> seano1, it's there, you have to add it to your panel
[06:59] <clarence__> because i use makefile it said the command is not found
[07:00] <Arodon> danbhfive: yeah...I was thinking that. Is there any other log I should be looking at, or monitoring program I could try?
[07:00] <seano1> myr: K, but where is there?
[07:00] <Flynsarmy> Anyone know where i could find the clock applet source?
[07:00] <QtQ> aha clarence and what is the dependence whas it've not working...
[07:00] <myr> seano1, right click > add to panel > keyboard indicator
[07:00] <ph0rensic_> seano1: right click and add to panel .. then scroll down to find it

[07:00] <Orchid`> i need help getting an i686 copy of ubuntu for an old pentium 3 computer can anyone help me out?
[07:01] <ballsac> whay linux dosent work?!
[07:01] <Flannel> Orchid`: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso
[07:01] <ph0rensic_> ballsac: Duearte?
[07:01] <Orchid`> Flannel:  i need an i686 not i386
[07:01] <LSD|Ninja> Orchid`: ...
[07:02] <Flannel> Orchid`: 386 is for 686
[07:02] <AaronChen> I have a lot of files name like **.friend.**.rmvb but I just want the files like friend.**.rmvb without the **. how can I do that with rename command
[07:02] <Orchid`> im not joking i tried installing the i386 version and it wouldnt work, good disc as well.
[07:02] <Flannel> Orchid`: did you try the desktop or the alternate CD/
[07:02] <LSD|Ninja> Orchid`: If you want i686 then Arch is over there -->
[07:02] <Orchid`> Flannel:  well according to the x64 bit disc i hav ei need an i686 version, i ahve an i386 version, the reg for 32 bit computers, and it  got right up to the point of partitioning, or ratehr ebfore it, and gave me a black screen
[07:03] <Orchid`> desktop downloads
[07:03] <Flannel> Orchid`: Desktop or alternate CD?
[07:03] <prince_jammys> Flannel: probably http://www.nws.noaa.gov/
[07:03] <Flannel> Orchid`: try the alternate CD
[07:03] <QtQ> good Q who make rename the comand !

[07:03] <leandroo> Anyone sucessfully used a notebook Card Reader ENE in Ubuntu 8.04?
[07:03] <prince_jammys> Flannel: wrong nick, sorry.
[07:03] <Orchid`> alright Flannel thanks, you too LSD|Ninja
[07:03] <seano1> Duh that was ridiculously simple...prob is that localization is only half done, so half English half Irish & Táscaire Méarchláir wasn't what my brain was looking for!
[07:04] <seano1> I have more problems...
[07:04] <LSD|Ninja> Orchid`: i386 is just a family name, I honestly doubt youd get very far running it on an actual 386. The problem you;re experiencing doesn't sound related to the architecture from where I'm sitting
[07:04] <seano1> The titlebars regularly blank out when the mouse gets near the top right controls
[07:05] <leandroo> Anyone sucessfully used a notebook Card Reader ENE in Ubuntu 8.04?
[07:05] <AaronChen> VI have a lot of files name like **.friend.**.rmvb but I just want the files like friend.**.rmvb without the **. how can I do that with rename command ,the  **. numbers can't sure

[07:09] <unop> AaronChen, rename 's/^[^.].friend/friend/' *
[07:09] <unop> AaronChen, actually.   rename 's/^[^.]\.friend/friend/' *
[07:10] <unop> AaronChen, but either would work.
[07:10] <AaronChen> ok, unop
[07:10] <AaronChen> I'll try it
[07:11] <ogzy> can someone help me on howto apply this patch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/43266/
[07:12] <cemos121> how do i find drivers for my macbook wireless card please
[07:13] <LSD|Ninja> cemos121: atheros or broadcom?
[07:13] <AaronChen> unop ,thank you very much ,You help again
[07:14] <unop> AaronChen, yw, if you want to learn about perl regular expressions .. http://perldoc.perl.org/perlretut.html and http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html
[07:15] <Flannel> unop, AaronChen: http://www.regular-expressions.info/
[07:15] <rredd4> if i install grub, will that remove lilo.  if not how do i remove lilo?
[07:15] <rredd4> using hardy
[07:15] <unop> Flannel, those are BREs not necessarily perl and he's using perl/rename
[07:15] <LSD|Ninja> cemos121: ?
[07:16] <chumi> haluuuuu
[07:16] <seano1> any ideas why my title bars are flaky?
[07:16] <chumi> ah semet you
[07:16] <R_YoYo_R> what is a good editor for coding java? something in the repos please
[07:17] <prince_jammys> !editors | R_YoYo_R
[07:17] <unop> R_YoYo_R, i hear eclipse is what java programmers advocate.
[07:18] <rredd4> is there an alternate cd for hardy?
[07:18] <Flannel> rredd4: Yes.
[07:19] <myr> rredd4, i believe grup replaces lilo as bootloader. not 100% sure on that tho
[07:19] <myr> grub
[07:19] <unop> !alternate > rredd4
[07:19] <unop> myr, you're right, grub is the default on ubuntu
[07:19] <AaronChen> Flannel: thanks for you help ,I think the url can get another helpful.. :)
[07:20] <myr> unop, it sounds like he already has lilo installed though
[07:20] <rredd4> myr for some unknown reason, grub would not install when i installed hardy
[07:20] <rredd4> from cd
[07:20] <SaraSmith> dmi pool data error. but we have the same error swapping in his drive from his other computer.
[07:20] <LSD|Ninja> rredd4: were you using anyting other than ext3 as your root fs?
[07:21] <rredd4> myr  ext3 journaling
[07:21] <myr> rredd4, i've never had success with lilo. I wish you luck
[07:21] <rredd4> lol
[07:21] <rredd4> i am not having success now
[07:21] <unop> rredd4, so you have lilo now ?
[07:21] <rredd4> yes
[07:21] <rredd4> unop grub would not load
[07:21] <rredd4> not sure why
[07:22] <unop> rredd4, i'm fairly certain that just by installing grub now should replace lilo
[07:22] <LSD|Ninja> rredd4: so you were running ext3 when this happened?
[07:22] <rredd4> yes
[07:23] <rredd4> unop how can i install grub with the desktop cd without having to format the hd in the partition setup?
[07:23] <LSD|Ninja> rredd4: Oh, OK. Ubuntu uses grub-install to install GRUB and it's a steaming pile. Among otehr things, it doesn't likei nstalling to non-ext3 partitions. Sine you were running ext3 I'm out of ideas :P
[07:23] <cemos121> atheros
[07:23] <R_YoYo_R> grub-install
[07:23] <unop> rredd4, sudo aptitude install grub
[07:23] <hazrd> http://img233.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pekwm2xh4.jpg <--- How can i change the look of that when im using pekwm? :O
[07:23] <rredd4> unop.. ok
[07:23] <rredd4> ty
[07:24] <unop> rredd4, though, if you are running ubuntu not, you do not have to boot up into the live CD to install grub
[07:24] <LSD|Ninja> cemos121: Atheros or Broadcom?
[07:24] <unop> rredd4, s/not/now/
[07:24] <rredd4> unop on live cd now
[07:24] <myr> heh snot now
[07:24] <rredd4> reboot?
[07:24] <rredd4> snot  lol
[07:25] <unop> rredd4, did grub finish installing?
[07:25] <rredd4> i have not tried yet, should i reboot first or do it from the live cd
[07:25] <david> hello
[07:25] <QtQ> who have a mac os X in grub ?
[07:25] <R_YoYo_R> hello
[07:26] <rredd4> QtQ no pc

[07:35] <chubs> Rdy: what appears on boot?
[07:35] <visu> hello my gimp is very slow can ne one tell me hw to fix it
[07:35] <Rdy> it just boots into vista as if i haven't altered it
[07:35] <unop> rredd4, http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent
[07:35] <Rdy> if i check my hdd partitions i can see the linux partitions tho
[07:36] <rredd4> unop  i apt installed grub, how do i enable it now
[07:36] <rredd4> unop that web site works
[07:36] <chubs> Rdy: did you install grub when you installed ubuntu?
[07:36] <clarence_> I don't know how to use
[07:36] <Rdy> i just downloaded the ubuntu amd64 latest version and burnt it to cd
[07:37] <chubs> right, and you installed that?
[07:37] <Rdy> yep
[07:37] <chubs> are you in vista now or linux?
[07:37] <Rdy> vista
[07:37] <Rdy> i chose the partitions manually tho im guessing ive done something wrong there
[07:37] <unop> rredd4, the installer should have done that for you ..
[07:37] <Rdy> i chose ext3 and a swap drive
[07:37] <Makuseru> How can I get Open Office to stop autoformating my documents as I type? It keeps numbering my paragraphs as i type, and I cant get it to stop.
[07:37] <myr> rredd4, are you in a livecd session?
[07:37] <rredd4> yes
[07:38] <unop> rredd4, try rebooting now to check.
[07:38] <rredd4> k
[07:39] <chubs> Rdy: i wouldn't worry about that, but i think the easiest option for you would be to boot into linux and run install-grub
[07:39] <chubs> grub-install*
[07:39] <Rdy> so the options that says something about test unbuntu b4 i install it?
[07:39] <chubs> Rdy: to boot into linux just pop in the ubuntu cd and choose boot from hard drive
[07:40] <chubs> Rdy: just boot from hard drive and choose your ubuntu partition
[07:40] <Rdy> it told me to remove the cd after installation
[07:40] <rredd4> Flannel  that web link in ubottu needs a  .1 in the second 8.04 entry
[07:40] <chubs> Rdy: put it back in :)
[07:40] <Rdy> lol okay thanks, ill try that
[07:40] <Flannel> rredd4: The link needed a few changes, but theyre both fixed now.
[07:40] <hateball> Makuseru: On Swedish OOo it's under Format -> Autoformat -> During input... tho that might not be the proper translation... it's in the menus anyhow :)
[07:40] <Rdy> ill be back if it doesnt work :P
[07:40] <chubs> Rdy: when you're in ubuntu, you can rejoin this channel by going on xchat

[07:42] <tsolox> hi
[07:42] <QtQ> unop any reason for this message too my machine ?
[07:42] <rredd4> unop ok
[07:42] <unop> QtQ, what message, sorry?
[07:42] <tsolox> when i put on Debian 4.0 CD, it booted with the Debian spiral picture showing..but then suddenly, it said it cannot find CD-ROM drive....how do I go about this? I have several other distro in my possession,,...i have gentoo, sysresccd, ubuntu, fedora...i plan to booting from one of these CDs, then bootstrap Debian from ther...is this possible??? and how....
[07:42] <QtQ> i have a interactive console whit kernel
[07:42] <QtQ> just why
[07:43] <unop> tsolox, debian support belongs in #debian
[07:43] <prince_jammys> surprisingly
[07:43] <clarence_> how to install
[07:43] <clarence_> the linux softwae
[07:43] <unop> QtQ, not sure what you mean by that? can you elaborate a little more?
[07:44] <clarence_> eclipse
[07:44] <nate_> hay when i try and play a dvd on totem movie player it says could not read from resource
[07:44] <clarence_> eclipse c compiler
[07:44] <tsolox> when i try to install Debian 4.0, the spiral picture shows in bootup, I choose language..but then suddenly, it said it cannot find CD-ROM...and asked me to load CDROM drivers from floppy! which i dont have...how do i solve this???
[07:44] <QtQ> sure i spech well at my machine and you tolk that and she put beep
[07:44] <zvacet> clarence_ : from synaptic if it is not something you have to build from source
[07:44] <unop> tsolox, debian support belongs in #debian - this is #ubuntu
[07:44] <QtQ> coz she understant...
[07:45] <Flannel> clarence_: sudo apt-get install eclipse eclipse-cdt
[07:45] <R_YoYo_R> tsolox, #debian
[07:46] <QtQ> what are you learning or what
[07:46] <tsolox> i cannot join #debian...
[07:46] <clarence_> my ubuntu synaptic cannot  use!
[07:46] <djhash> tsolox: why cant you join #debian ?
[07:47] <Flannel> tsolox: You should ask the operators of #debian (and actually, you should try #debian on oftc, not here)
[07:47] <unop> tsolox, try joining again in a couple of minutes .. they might have a channel limit in effect now
[07:47] <rredd4> unop should i remove lilo via synaptic?
[07:47] <zvacet> clarence_ : did you tried sudo apt-get install
[07:47] <clarence_> wait
[07:47] <rredd4> unop its still there
[07:48] <unop> rredd4, you could, yep .. though it shouldn't make a difference if it remains installed .. but if you do remove it, you have to make sure grub is successfully installed, or your machine will not be bootable
[07:48] <clarence_> it said Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[07:48] <rredd4> ok
[07:48] <unop> clarence_, close synaptic and try again
[07:49] <zvacet> clarence_ : you can use one at thie time do you have something else open like update manager
[07:49] <clarence_> yes
[07:50] <kvenkys> join
[07:50] <kvenkys> #join kernelnewbies
[07:50] <rredd4> kvenkys   use a /
[07:50] <clarence_> I don't know how to close update manager
[07:50] <zvacet> clarence_ : yes what
[07:50] <rredd4> before join
[07:50] <chubs> rredd4: he's gone
[07:51] <clarence_> hey
[07:51] <rredd4> ok
[07:51] <myr> theoretically, if i added extra RAM to a system so that i could install ubuntu, and then took it out afterwards, it could still run with 128mb RAM, yes? thought? other ideas?
[07:51] <clarence_> could some one answer me that questtion?
[07:51] <QtQ> what are you mean clarence_
[07:52] <MickLH> myr: I've done that before
[07:52] <zvacet> clarence_ : if you are not downloading updates just click on close button
[07:52] <clarence_> the command isn't work
[07:52] <myr> MickLH, cool, thx
[07:52] <unop> myr, yes, but that won't ensure your ubuntu desktop will run very smoothly
[07:53] <myr> unop, i just want to install server edition
[07:53] <MickLH> myr: sorry lol I didn't think to even say whether or not it worked, (it did by the way)
[07:53] <myr> clarence_, are you using sudo?
[07:53] <unop> myr, i would say it should install just fine
[07:53] <reqqit> explain: I zip a folder, extract it - I have two identical folder trees. I open them the same way, to the same file, in list mode
[07:53] <clarence_> yes
[07:53] <reqqit> I right click the same two files, both named the same, both type 'plain text file'
[07:54] <clarence_> it said  "
[07:54] <clarence_> Unable to obtain exclusive lock
[07:54] <clarence_> This usually means the other package manager programs (such as aprt-get or aptitude) is being implemented. Please close these programs."
[07:54] <reqqit> One right click gives me 'open with text editor'
[07:54] <reqqit> the OTHER right click, on the same file (copied) DOESN'T give me that option
[07:54] <reqqit> what the hell is going on?
[07:54] <reqqit> Same file name. Same 'type' reported.
[07:54] <myr> MickLH, the RAM switching didn't cause any problems or extra steps?
[07:54] <reqqit> damn. I figured it out
[07:55] <chubs> too much coffee maybe
[07:55] <mynameistux_> Hi, I did some repartioning with the gparted live cd, and now when I try and boot, it says L 99 99 99 and the screen fills up with 99's I am using LILO, because GRUB doesn't work for me. I assume that LILO is confused, because my partiton is in a different place. How do I fix it?
[07:55] <reqqit> One of the files had executable permissions.  Grapes, apples, fresh juices, all week. No caffeine. Kill me.
[07:55] <MickLH> myr: For example when I built a new computer I just put my ubuntu hard drive and it booted like it was nothing and I isntalled teh nvidia drivers
[07:55] <clarence_> I wanna to upgrade ubuntu 8.04, but my board band  is very slow
[07:56] <fudus> how do i mount a device using nautilus? i can use mount to do it, but then I need to sudo everything in order to write to the mount point
[07:56] <myr> MickLH, that's pretty sweet
[07:56] <zvacet> clarence_ : close them all and try again with sudo apt-get install eclipse eclipse-cdt
[07:56] <chubs> fudus: change permissions on your mount point, but mount is a root command generally
[07:56] <MickLH> myr: It was a pretty radical change, single P3 upgrade to Core 2 Duo from 512MB RAM to 2GB
[07:56] <unop> fudus, what kind of filesystem on the device?
[07:56] <fudus> i don't know how to do that
[07:57] <MickLH> myr: Radeon 7000 to GeForce 8600GT ect...
[07:57] <rredd4> unop when i type grub-install /dev/sda  it says: "stage1 not read correctly"  I cd'd into /boot/grub  and stage1 is there.  i didn't open it though
[07:57] <myr> fudus, on the left, there should be a list of drives, if it's there right click and choose mount
[07:57] <fudus> i mean how to make it so i don't need to sudo in order to copy stuff to it
[07:57] <LSD|Ninja> clarence_: 2Mbit is _NOT_ slow. At least not as far as upgrading Ubuntu isconcerned
[07:57] <unni> need a help on configuring dual monitor in ubuntu 804
[07:57] <chubs> fudus: you need to change the ownership on it. what exactly is it?
[07:57] <unop> rredd4, see if you can find stage one with this here.  http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-natively.html#Installing-GRUB-natively
[07:58] <mynameistux_> I have a 300kbps connection, I upgraded with a 40kbps connection

[07:58] <fudus> sudo mount -t vboxsf -ouser downloads down/
[07:58] <chubs> unni: do you have an nvidia card?
[07:58] <unni> i have an dell optiplex 755
[07:58] <fudus> it doesn't like -ouser :P
[07:58] <mynameistux_> Hi, I did some repartioning with the gparted live cd, and now when I try and boot, it says L 99 99 99 and the screen fills up with 99's I am using LILO, because GRUB doesn't work for me. I assume that LILO is confused, because my partiton is in a different place. How do I fix it?
[07:58] <fudus> oh and i'd like it to automount on start up too
[07:58] <rredd4> unop is sda   hd0,0?
[07:59] <unni> it is having ATI Radeon HD 2400
[07:59] <unop> rredd4, is that when you issued the grub find command?
[07:59] <chubs> fudus: sudo chown USER /downloads
[07:59] <rredd4> yes
[07:59] <rredd4> sda
[07:59] <MickLH> mynameistux_: fix the problem by making it not have an error
[07:59] <unni> chubs: i have having ATI Radeon HD 2400
[07:59] <MickLH> mynameistux_: sorry I couldnt resist but if you hold on a second I can actually help
[07:59] <rredd4> unop no
[08:00] <mynameistux_> oh, good
[08:00] <mynameistux_> lol
[08:00] <chubs> !ati
[08:00] <rredd4> unop haven't done it yet, did not know if hd0,0 would work
[08:00] <unni> chubs: yes ATI
[08:00] <mynameistux_> hang on, grub might work now. I have to check my email, if someone at my LUG can fix grub for me, I will get a super grub disk and all will be well
[08:01] <unop> rredd4, if find returns hd0,0 .. then you use  setup (hd0)
[08:01] <unni> lspci i gives only one device
[08:01] <fudus> still says root owns it
[08:01] <chubs> fudus: sorry, you should probably do that
[08:01] <chubs> recursively
[08:02] <unni> ubottu: lspci gives one device.. so how to add 2 devices with it in xorg.conf
[08:02] <chubs> fudus: chown -R
[08:02] <unop> fudus, the mount.vboxfs manpage might show you how to change the user
[08:02] <unni> lspci gives one device.. so how to add 2 devices with it in xorg.conf
[08:03] <Guest30279> hi ?
[08:03] <unop> fudus, chubs, that would upset permissions/ownership on the directory associated with the share itself
[08:03] <QtQ> unni what type off device are
[08:03] <chubs> fudus: but with the rest of the command tagged on, sorry it's late and my advice is less than coherent
[08:03] <chubs> unop: explain?
[08:03] <rredd4> unop after finding stage1, its on hd1,0. then i typed setup (hd1,0).  now it says error 12 invalid device requested
[08:04] <reqqit> OK, I have two windows open, I am just ctrl-c ctrl-ving some files, because there is no 'replace if newer' option, and I was out of net access and had to suffer editing files on a shitty windows laptop, so I am not in a good mood
[08:04] <znik_> how much swap should i give for 7.10 . my ram is 2gb and 128mb graphic card
[08:04] <clarence_> hello
[08:04] <reqqit> When I ctrl v into nautilus, in list view, the FIRST time I ctrl v, it does NOTHING except focus, and center the folder
[08:04] <chubs> unop: by explain? i meant it wouldn't.
[08:04] <znik> how much swap should i give for 7.10 . my ram is 2gb and 128mb graphic card
[08:04] <reqqit> can someone verify that? then the second ctrl-v actually asks if I want to copy the files.
[08:04] <clarence_> I'm back
[08:04] <unop> chubs, he said that this here is a vbox share .. so if you changed ownership on it, you affect the ownership on the real directory - which might not be what he wants
[08:04] <zvacet> znik : 1-2
[08:05] <rredd4> unop night ty for your help.
[08:05] <chubs> unop: but that's not what he did, because he changed ownership on the mount point
[08:05] <reqqit> open up two nautilus, in list mode, and copy ~/.emacs to ~/lolcats, anything, using two windows, click the lolcats folder and press ctrl-v, it does nothing.
[08:05] <zvacet> clarence_ : does it work now
[08:05] <clarence_> yes
[08:05] <clarence_> because I use english
[08:05] <reqqit> unop, can you try this to verify? nautilus on 8.04
[08:05] <mynameistux_> I am getting the error http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/LILO_Error_Codes but how do I implemete the fix, if I can't boot?
[08:06] <unop> chubs, if the directory is mounted on the mountpoint and you changed permissions on it recursively, you affect the permissions of all contents underneath it too
[08:06] <reqqit> ctrl-c a file, click another nautilus window, in list mode, and press ctrl-v, nothing happens, press again, it works
[08:06] <reqqit> unop, does that sound weird?
[08:06] <zvacet> clarence_ :  8-)
[08:06] <mynameistux_> I have my reasons for using LILO
[08:06] <unop> reqqit, it sure does, though i don't use gnome .. so i can't verify this for you
[08:06] <chubs> unop: he can't mount it, how can this be a problem?
[08:06] <clarence_> I'm Taiwanese, when I switch English
[08:06] <LSD|Ninja> mynameistux_: because you;re a masochist? :P
[08:07] <QtQ> hahahaha
[08:07] <clarence_> the system is ok
[08:07] <unop> chubs, ahh, how could he access any files on the share if it weren't mouned?
[08:07] <myr> mynameistux_, use a livecd ?
[08:07] <unop> chubs, doesn't make sense.
[08:07] <chubs> unop: was the problem not that he couldn't access them? that was my understanding
[08:07] <mynameistux_> but, don't I have to be in the install that lilo is used for, to implemete the fix
[08:07] <reqqit> anyone on gnome, with a nautilus open, I'd like to verify if this is reproducible please
[08:07] <myr> mynameistux_, no
[08:07] <QtQ> unop what type off device are...
[08:08] <ashmew2> sup reqqit ?
[08:08] <mynameistux_> so, I boot into a livecd, open a termial, and run the commands
[08:08] <unop> chubs, right, so he needs some way of allowing his user access to the share .. usually the filesystem driver provides options for doing this without you needing to changer permissions or ownership on the actual files
[08:08] <reqqit> ashmew2, open two nautilus windows - copy from one with ctrl-c, then ctrl-v
[08:08] <reqqit> the first ctrl-v to the new window will do nothing
[08:08] <znik_> how much swap should i give for 7.10 . my ram is 2gb and 128mb graphic card
[08:08] <ashmew2> oh :O
[08:08] <ashmew2> wait ill try
[08:09] <ashmew2> nope
[08:09] <myr> mynameistux_, yes, you will need to know the name of your partition like /dev/hda1
[08:09] <ashmew2> its working fine
[08:09] <reqqit> I am doing this manually because I want to only copy selected files, I could probably script a 'copy if newer from tree to tree' or open an ftpd and use filezillas feature to do local copies...
[08:09] <chubs> unop: I thought that his problem was simply that he did not own the directory he was trying to mount the share on
[08:09] <murlidhar> does anybody know how to install a grub . my ibex's grub has overtaken this one
[08:09] <unop> znik, 2GB swap if you intend to suspend/hibernate .. 512MB should suffice otherwise
[08:09] <ashmew2> its working!
[08:09] <reqqit> ashmew2, open two views in View as List mode
[08:09] <mynameistux_> its dev/sda3, so I will do that
[08:09] <mynameistux_> thanks for your help guys
[08:09] <zvacet> znik_ : you can give it 1GB but if you want more give it 2GB it is enough
[08:09] <reqqit> open a subtree, copy a file from there, move to (visible) other tree, click once on a folder, press ctrl-v
[08:09] <murlidhar> i want hardy's grub to be loaded rather than ibex's one
[08:09] <ashmew2> reqqit,its working
[08:10] <djhash> !grub > murlidhar
[08:10] <reqqit> ashmew2,  if it works, try repeating it so it asks you to replace the file
[08:10] <ashmew2> yeah
[08:10] <reqqit> and see if it asks you the first tim eyou press ctrl-v
[08:10] <ashmew2> i replaced it
[08:10] <murlidhar> :(
[08:10] <ashmew2> its working
[08:10] <rkirmizi> hi i have server computer and i wanna update it
[08:10] <znik> z

[08:10] <reqqit> ashmew2, you have two windows, side by side, both visible, and you just single click one sub folder on the second window, and press ctrl-v once?
[08:10] <rkirmizi> when i say apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:10] <reqqit> why am I having to press ctrl-v twice EVERY TIME. this is insane.
[08:11] <reqqit> first ctrl-v just focusses the window and moves the selected folder to center. ashmew2  you have view as list?
[08:11] <ashmew2> yeah list view it is
[08:11] <bullgard4> NetworkManager > Network Settings does not accept an IP address which i put the 'DNS Servers' field. Thus I have no Internet access since I was out with this Ubuntu 8.04.1 last night. How to repair?

[08:11] <ashmew2> try rebooting reqqit ?
[08:11] <zvacet> rkirmizi : it is unsupported version and you can not upgrade it as supported ones
[08:11] <rkirmizi> even i used the -f option

[08:11] <reqqit> ashmew2, the folder you are working with are not root folders in the list, but subfilders
[08:11] <smurfslover> hi there
[08:11] <rkirmizi> zvacet: is there anyway to upgrade it?
[08:11] <rkirmizi> or is there a package repo for this version?
[08:12] <smurfslover> i have a problem with synaptic
[08:12] <rkirmizi> this is an old server and i needto set up mysql-server to here
[08:12] <ligemeget> Hi, I've got a question: How can it be that I'm still running the 2.6.24 branch of the kernel in Hardy? Isn't there a way to upgrade to 2.6.26? (IIRC it should be the new stable?)
[08:12] <smurfslover> it zombies after installing packages
[08:12] <zvacet> rkirmizi : just a sec
[08:12] <ushimitsudoki1> ligemeget: kernel is still 2.6.24
[08:13] <QtQ> !yea
[08:13] <djhash> ligemeget: run update manager
[08:13] <QtQ> ubottu :) mf
[08:14] <clarence_> It's so strange
[08:14] <ligemeget> ushimitsudoki1: Since Intrepid is going to implement 2.6.27, does that mean that 2.6.26 is just skipped?
[08:14] <rkirmizi> zvacet: ok i m waiting
[08:14] <ligemeget> djhash, done that - nothing
[08:14] <QtQ> comon <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:14] <ushimitsudoki1> ligemeget: i think so. the first plan was .26, but i think they recently decided to just go with .27
[08:14] <chubs> ligemeget: odd numbers are beta
[08:14] <reqqit> Right, I found that if I wait about half a second it works without asking twice.
[08:14] <clarence_> how to make ubuntu effect appear?
[08:15] <Rdy> hey chubs
[08:15] <Rdy> im on linux but it didnt boot
[08:15] <ushimitsudoki1> ligemeget: ask in #ubuntu+1 they will know more probably
[08:15] <chubs> Rdy: so how'd you get in?
[08:15] <dagonet> clarence: right click on desktop > change desktop background > visual effects
[08:15] <ligemeget> chubs, in that case going with .27 on Intrepid may prove risky, indeed..
[08:15] <Rdy> i had to do the try before you install, when i told it to load off the harddrive it say on loading local disk or something
[08:16] <Rdy> but theres an install icon on the desktop
[08:16] <Rdy> ive opened that
[08:16] <chubs> ligemeget: probably not, really, but moreso
[08:16] <ligemeget> ushimitsudoki1, but basically users running Hardy are all running .24?
[08:16] <Rdy> but what partitions do i make?
[08:16] <clarence_> I wanna  to use extra effect
[08:16] <mynameistux_> it says, lilo command not found
[08:16] <mynameistux_> gaaah
[08:16] <chubs> Rdy: stop now
[08:16] <selocol> hello, if i sudo adduser <username>, is that user able to delete my files? how do i make it so that user can read only or only do stuff in his /home/username/ folder?
[08:16] <Rdy> lol stopping
[08:16] <ushimitsudoki1> ligemeget: yes (assuming they didn't put in thier own kernel of course)
[08:16] <clarence_> hello
[08:16] <QtQ> ubottu u compile for me :D
[08:16] <QtQ> comon
[08:16] <chubs> Rdy: you can just hit next and cancel everything, and skip to installing grub though
[08:16] <mynameistux_> hang oin, don't I need to mount sda3
[08:17] <Rdy> ok how do i do that
[08:17] <chubs> Rdy: if you're already in there may as well keep going
[08:17] <clarence_> it doesn't work
[08:17] <Rdy> i just cancled it
[08:17] <zvacet> rkirmizi : in your source list replace every archive.ubuntu.com with old-releases.ubuntu.com save file and close it. sudo apt-get update
[08:17] <cyix> what was the command/program called that showed system info, kernal version, etc? One could see all or have it be brief. d..something, I think.
[08:17] <rkirmizi> zvacet: oh thx.
[08:17] <rkirmizi> i m doing now
[08:17] <clarence_> it  no reposing
[08:17] <chubs> Rdy: oh well, open a terminal and type grub-install
[08:18] <chubs> Rdy: followed by your first partition
[08:18] <dagonet> clarence: what's your hardware anyway
[08:18] <djhash> cyix: uname?!
[08:18] <Rdy> how do i know which partition it is ?
[08:18] <Flannel> chubs: uname -a

[08:19] <cyix> ok, thanks, that's it!
[08:19] <Rdy> thats an option at the end just before it starts to install about the boot settings
[08:19] <mynameistux_> I will have to make an ubuntu live cd
[08:19] <chubs> Flannel: heh, i was just looking up that command actually, weird coincidence so thanks
[08:19] <unop> bullgard4, you could work around this by editing /etc/resolv.conf directly perhaps?
[08:20] <chubs> Rdy: yes
[08:20] <chubs> chubs: that's what i was saying about skipping everything and just installing grub from the installer
[08:20] <rkirmizi> zvacet: i have a dependency problem. :(
[08:20] <ligemeget> ushimitsudoki1, I don't suppose you can help me with that?
[08:21] <legendsohai> anybody knows how to format a file system to ntfs?

[08:22] <rkirmizi> zvacet: nope
[08:22] <rkirmizi>                 Depends: libdbi-perl but it is not installable
[08:22] <rkirmizi>   mysql-server: Depends: mysql-client (>= 4.0.23-3ubuntu2.4) but it is not going to be installed
[08:22] <ushimitsudoki1> ligemeget: did you try both EnvyNG and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI ?
[08:23] <unop> legend2440, you need to have mkfs.ntfs installed (which i think is by default)
[08:23] <rkirmizi> zvacet: these 2 are all
[08:23] <unop> legend2440, and read the mkfs.ntfs manpage for the options
[08:23] <ligemeget> ushimitsudoki1: Nope - will try that now, thanks :)
[08:23] <chubs> Rdy: unless you really want to reinstall it you can just skip that, but use ext3

[08:23] <selocol> how do i create a user that only has write access to his/her own home directory and nowhere else?
[08:23] <unni> any one familiar with this'

[08:23] <chubs> Rdy: for grub? what are your options?
[08:24] <unop> legend2440, sorry :) yea
[08:24] <unop> legendsohai, see what i was saying to legend2440 :)

[08:24] <legendsohai> haha, mistaken
[08:24] <unop> bullgard4, to add a name server ..  nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:24] <chubs> Rdy: alright well you should probably mount at least one partition at /
[08:24] <clarence_> My ubuntu still cannot make effect appear!
[08:25] <unop> bullgard4, you can have upto 3
[08:25] <unop> bullgard4, each on it's own line
[08:25] <Rdy> chubs: the options are - / | /boot | /home | /tmp | /usr | /var | /srv | /opt | /usr/local
[08:25] <clarence_> who can answer my question?
[08:25] <zvacet> rkirmizi : can you back up your files and install new server version it will be esier thing to do
[08:25] <chubs> Rdy: well if it's your first partition choose /, you need one of those, the rest you can do without but might want
[08:26] <chubs> Rdy: check this thread out though http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24113&highlight=grub
[08:26] <Rdy> ok so i have an ext3 with mount point "/" and a swap type partition, is that all i need?
[08:27] <zvacet> rkirmizi : because in other case you should go Hoary>Breezy>Dapper
[08:27] <Rdy> chubs: ah so that says i need a /boot as well
[08:27] <rkirmizi> zvacet: this is impossible
[08:27] <rkirmizi> this is the proxy server of the university
[08:27] <Rdy> chubs: or because mine is fresh i dont ?

[08:27] <newb> are there any known issues with LAN cards on Hardy Server?
[08:27] <chubs> Rdy: you'll have all of those during the install, it's just whether or not you want them on separate partitions
[08:28] <newb> my LAN card isn't getting detected when I install Hardy server
[08:28] <Rdy> chubs: no i dont so ill just press next then
[08:28] <Flannel> rkirmizi: It needs to be upgraded.  Hoary hasn't been supported for over two years now.
[08:28] <Rdy> chubs: do i need to make a seperate swap partition though?
[08:28] <leaphion> hey, how do I update alsa to be 1.0.17, I have 1.0.16 installed, but if I mark it for removal in synaptic it says that Ubuntu-desktop goes too. And that doesn't sound too promising. Can I install it from source on top of 1.0.16?

[08:36] <clarence_> How to play the .VOB video Linux?
[08:36] <unop> bullgard4, the   dhclient.conf  manpage should give you an explanation of options, etc
[08:36] <legend2440> ligemeget: unfortunately i don't think ati has any propritary drivers for linux for that card. at least i don't find any on their website.
[08:37] <ligemeget> damn. It's in an IBM ThinkPad R51
[08:37] <LSD|Ninja> !medibuntu > clarence_
[08:37] <ligemeget> ...old piece of...
[08:37] <GoriIIaz> www.tvernews.ru
[08:37] <curs31> LSD|Ninja: help help :D
[08:38] <unop> bolrog, i am not sure about make and makefiles
[08:38] <ligemeget> !ati
[08:38] <LSD|Ninja> curs31: open xorg.conf in a text editor and remove any lines with Virtual, Viewport or whatever in them
[08:38] <djhash> CodeWar: how many certificates do you have?
[08:38] <bolrog> unop: oh, okay, thanks for you help
[08:38] <Heero_Mamoru> how to copy folder from music folder to usr/shrare ? i cant copy it say i dont have permission to do that
[08:38] <unni> LSD|Ninja: can you help me on configuring dual monitor in ubuntu
[08:39] <unop> Heero_Mamoru, /usr/share is not where you put your music or personal files
[08:39] <clarence_> Could  any one me this question?
[08:39] <zvacet> !compile | barcafans
[08:39] <Flannel> !patience | clarence_
[08:39] <CodeWar> djhash, I m reading wpa-supplicant manual its not clear to me how to use it from the cmline or how/where to find the certificates
[08:39] <unop> Heero_Mamoru, /usr/share contains system files, you shouldn't put anything in here
[08:39] <legend2440> ligemeget: are you sure it has an ati radeon 7500 in it?
[08:39] <LSD|Ninja> unni: I have no experience with multi monitor setups I'm afraid :(
[08:39] <unni> ok
[08:40] <Heero_Mamoru> unop: and sometime i can't play dvd or vcd dics it saying the samething
[08:40] <ligemeget> legend2440 lspci -v says "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])"
[08:40] <unni> LSD|Ninja:  i configured it in optiplex 745
[08:40] <djhash> CodeWar: you should get the certificates from the person who built the WPA2-enterprise authentication system
[08:40] <ligemeget> I'm considering buying a new one if this one is so old... Are they generally especially expensive or difficult to install...?
[08:41] <unni>  i have ATI Technologies Inc Radeon 2400 HD
[08:41] <LSD|Ninja> clarence_: .vob is a DVD container format which are typically encrypted. medibuntu can set you up with what you need to handle it
[08:41] <CodeWar> djhash, hmmm we use a userid and password to login not sure theres any certificate thats handed out
[08:41] <legend2440> ligemeget: oh ok. well i think your out of luck for newer drivers for that .. sorry
[08:41] <clarence_> What C compiler do everyone use?
[08:41] <Flannel> clarence_: gcc
[08:41] <clarence_> how to use?
[08:41] <barcafans> could u tell me further information about UBUNTU MUSLIM EDITION
[08:42] <barcafans> please :) !!!
[08:42] <unop> heh
[08:42] <zvacet> alistair : you can not install another desktop from live CD read http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/puregnome to see how to do it
[08:42] <dnncrew> hola
[08:43] <rkirmizi> Flannel: sorry i was out
[08:43] <nate_> hay who do i extract a bunch of files into one?
[08:43] <legend2440> ligemeget: maybe someone in channel  #ati     would have some idea
[08:43] <rkirmizi> now is there any way to set up mysql-server to this old pc
[08:43] <djhash> CodeWar: are you sure they use WPA2-Enterprise authentication system?
[08:43] <nate_> like when u download a torrent and its in 50 files that make one movie
[08:43] <Heero_Mamoru> in user setting there my name and the other is root. can i delete it or just leave it there. Im kinda new here. and sometime some apps saying i need to be root to run such as clamtk update i need to be root
[08:44] <Jordan_U> !sudo | Heero_Mamoru
[08:45] <Heero_Mamoru> !gksu
[08:45] <LSD|Ninja> nate_: unrar the first one and the rest will follow
[08:45] <CodeWar> djhash,  wpa2-enterprise and WEP keys thats what our wiki says. Is there something fundamentally wrong here
[08:45] <Flannel> rkirmizi: technically, sure.  You could switch the repos over to the archive *not* *supported* or *updated* for *two* years now.  and install from that.
[08:46] <djhash> CodeWar: can you send me the link to your wiki..
[08:46] <clarence_> how to use GCC
[08:46] <clarence_> ok
[08:46] <rkirmizi> Flannel: normally i m not using this. distro. but there is no one using linux around here
[08:46] <djhash> clarence_: gcc program.c
[08:46] <rkirmizi> bec. of this my teachers has given this work to me
[08:47] <Flannel> rkirmizi: Alright, well, you really need to update.  but that will technically work for a short term fix.
[08:47] <nate_> so i dont highlight them all and use ark? LSD|Ninja
[08:47] <rkirmizi> Flannel: i just need to install mysql server :)
[08:47] <rkirmizi> not much
[08:47] <Flannel> rkirmizi: Right.  Switch all your repos over to the old-releases one and install it.
[08:47] <clarence_> do gcc have another command?
[08:48]  * bl4st0m0rph4 say hi
[08:48] <djhash> clarence_: like what?
[08:49] <Hyphenex> hey, I've just installed some the Mac WiFi drivers on my MacBook (I can run commands such as sudo iwlist ath0 scan and they run fine) but I don't get the little Wireless icon up the top the others do.  How do I get this?
[08:49] <clarence_> hey say again
[08:49] <clarence_> do gcc have another command?
[08:49] <Jordan_U> Hyphenex: What happens when you run "nm-applet" ?
[08:49] <djhash> clarence_: what do you mean by another command?
[08:49] <CyberWolf> how could i reset a timer (like 60days before expires) on a game demo....i dont wanna crack it,i just wanna get to play demo once more
[08:50] <visik7> Hyphenex: ubuntu on the macbook ?
[08:50] <Flannel> CyberWolf: That'd be out of the scope of this channel.
[08:50] <CyberWolf> ok
[08:50] <Hyphenex> Jordan_U: ahh, it's not found.  is that what I need? :)
[08:50] <Jordan_U> Hyphenex: Yes, it should be installed by default though
[08:50] <clarence_> do gcc have another command?
[08:50] <visik7> Hyphenex: look in your running processes if nm-applet is running
[08:50] <Jordan_U> Hyphenex: Are you sure you typed it correctly?
[08:50] <Flannel> clarence_: For what?
[08:51] <Hyphenex> The program 'nm-applet' can be found in the following packages:
[08:51] <Hyphenex>  * network-manager-gnome <- Pretty sure
[08:51] <zcat[1]> !b-e | clarence_
[08:51] <allahmatra> hallo hallo good peoples, I has a question. I have Ubuntu Hardy and I want KDE, so ALL I do is open console and type "sudo apt-get install kde"?
[08:51] <Flannel> allahmatra: no, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[08:51] <allahmatra> oooooh, thanks very much, no wonder I am haz trouble :D
[08:51] <clarence_> If you want to design a GUI software
[08:51] <zvacet> barcafans:http://www.ubuntume.com/
[08:52] <clarence_> by GCC
[08:52] <zcat[1]> !ide
[08:52] <Flannel> clarence_: gcc will do that.
[08:52] <Jordan_U> clarence_: You don't design anything with gcc, it's just a compiler
[08:52] <allahmatra> byebye for now!
[08:52] <Flannel> well, it'll compile it anyway.
[08:52] <djhash> clarence_: gcc is a compiler.. you write the program using a text editor..
[08:53] <zcat[1]> .. or an ide (and it will call gcc as a back end
[08:53] <zcat[1]> )
[08:53] <djhash> clarence_: read a book on C/C++ before coming here... it doesnt look like you know what you're looking for..
[08:53] <clarence_> yes I have
[08:53] <Jordan_U> clarence_: You might want the package "gnome-dev"
[08:53] <clarence_> but the book is written for windows
[08:54] <mrec> hi, is there any way to search the yum packages for files? I'm looking for the rpm package which contains libqt-mt.so.3?
[08:54] <mrec> ups wrong channel :)
[08:54] <djhash> clarence_: then read up on c/c++ programming in linux.. millions of tutorials online..
[08:55] <clarence_> yes I'm reading wikipedia of the wikibook
[08:56] <gnomefreak> clarence_: try asking in ##c
[08:56] <bullgard4> unop: I think that I have given a fixed IP address to this computer, see http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/391722. May I ask you again if the addition of the new line "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" to /etc/resolv.conf is a permanent solution in this case of a fixed IP address?
[08:57] <clarence_> again
[08:57] <mike-ekim> I downloaded a gtk theme, and having some trouble installing it, can someone help me?

[09:17] <myr> is it a usb coffeepot?
[09:18] <shey_> myr: no, but Im off to the patent office as we speak
[09:18] <djhash> shey_: it depends.. you can put a 5V relay switch on the power switch of the coffee pot, wire it to the serial port, then use a cron job to send a 5V signal to the serial port...
[09:18] <QtQ> :D
[09:19] <QtQ> i can awake 13 amp too my input off my sound card
[09:19] <shey_> djhash: nice.

[09:21] <rconan> infinity__, did you find a problem with that board... I was looking at buying it and don't want to if ubuntu wont work
[09:22] <bullgard4> AdvoWork: You could try ps auf to find out why the share is designated "busy".
[09:22] <Gitch> Hey everyone. Does anyone here know how to configure NetworkManager to save all settings needed for it to associate with an AP so it will just work by default on startup? I seem to have to connect manually every time my system boots even though networkmanager has an entry for my AP
[09:22] <infinity__> rconan: I'm trying to help someone who needs to set up a couple of Red Hat servers who can't get it to install... I noticed someone in the Ubuntu forums also having trouble with this board

[09:23] <EvolutionXtinct> hey guys do any of you know how to create a start/stop script for VMWare to shutdown VPC's before the system shutdowns or reboots?
[09:24] <EvolutionXtinct> really would appriciate thehelp or a website :( google isn't coming w/ many matches looking on vmware wiki now
[09:24] <Toznoshio> Gitch: you should really try wicd as a drop-in replacement for network manager
[09:24] <cyix> clarence_: what -is- this effect?
[09:24] <Wespe> hey, is there a way to make all files in a directory (recursively) rw------- and all directories rwx------ ?

[09:25] <QtQ> what *is* that noise ohh... *of course*
[09:25] <Garga> Is the font `Fixed` in the default repos

[09:26] <shey_> font rather
[09:26] <leaphion> how would you suggest I update my alsa drivers to 1.0.17? I can't see them in synaptic? Is there somekinda testing repo for hardy?
[09:26] <Garga> No it's not./
[09:26] <Garga> It came with slackware by default... so.
[09:26] <unop> Wespe, you will need to prefix chmod with sudo there if you do not have the permissions to change permissions
[09:26] <gnomefreak> apt-cache search fonts? Garga
[09:26] <infinity__> rconan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=887536

[09:27] <Toznoshio> Hi community, what's a good one-liner to find out the number of days left until the 1st of March 2009 ?
[09:27] <robotjox> anybody know any cool emulation frontends for linux? I can only find old abandoned projects
[09:28] <Garga> there's like a 100 font
[09:28] <unop> Wespe, it's the way find passes files to your command used with -exec  {} is the file \+ tells find to pass as many arguments to your command as possible
[09:28] <clarence_> how to install font?
[09:28] <Garga> Hold on, I'll be back.
[09:28] <rconan> infinity__, cheers

[09:40] <xukun> Hi all. I did sudo dpkg -i vnc-e_4.4.2_amd64.deb but know I get  this: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[09:40] <xukun>   vnc-e: Depends: libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.4-1) but it is not installed

[09:44] <shey_> I give up.
[09:44] <unop> xukun, why aren't you installing vnc from the repos?
[09:44] <Mrono> i have a fat32 partition, am i not able to change permissions on it
[09:45] <Mrono> when i do a chown under a sudo -i i get chown: changing ownership of `/data': Operation not permitted
[09:45] <unop> MrKennie, FAT has no understanding of permissions
[09:45] <unop> Mrono, ^^
[09:45] <clarence__> For example, when I open synaptic manager, the xchat was auto quit
[09:46] <Mrono> so is there no way i can force it, or do i just have to reformat it to a ext3
[09:46] <clarence__> heloo
[09:46] <clarence__> heloo
[09:46] <S[h]O[r]T> does the default ubuntu hardy install use lvm?
[09:46] <xukun> unop, we have a switch here for remote management which have pre-installed vnc-sever I the only vncviewer that works is the one from realvnc
[09:46] <djhash> Mrono: what are you trying to do?
[09:46] <unop> Mrono, depends on what you want to do? what do you want to do?
[09:46] <gnomefreak> S[h]O[r]T: no
[09:46] <Mrono> share it with write permissions for one
[09:46] <clarence__> HOW TO SOLVE XCHAT PROBLEM?

[09:47] <unop> Mrono, mount the device with the UID and GID options set
[09:47] <clarence__> I know
[09:47] <djhash> xukun: in console, type vncviewer ip::port
[09:47] <gnomefreak> clarence__: start with turning off caps
[09:47] <wols> clarence__: and learn how to ask for help here and how to behave
[09:47] <Garga> I just installed ubuntu (the latest version), after rebooting the screen spams the word "GRUB "
[09:47] <gnomefreak> Garga: they are installed by default with X
[09:47] <cyix> clarence__: go to a channel that supports your first language?
[09:47] <djhash> !tw | clarence__
[09:47] <gnomefreak> Garga: fixed fonts
[09:47] <wols> Garga: what is your partition layout?
[09:48] <Garga> gnomefreak: maybe because I'm using the livecd?
[09:48] <S[h]O[r]T> gnomefreak: So if I take out my current hdd with ubuntu on it, install ubuntu on a new hard drive and put the old one back in I should have any problems mounting. Like i should just be able to do mount /dev/sdb1 /secondary
[09:48] <gnomefreak> Garga: maybe
[09:48] <Garga> wols, I have 1 sata hd, and one IDE hdd.
[09:48] <S[h]O[r]T> I know centos uses LVM for default and in the past I've had conflicting VolGroup names and had to change them on the old drive.
[09:48] <Garga> I installed ubuntu on the IDE, it has 29gbs of ext3 and 1gb swap.
[09:48] <wols> Garga: that doesn't answer my question
[09:48] <clarence__> sorry, because I forget Taiwan channel name
[09:48] <gnomefreak> S[h]O[r]T: not sure if you will have issues
[09:48] <Garga> Could you rephrase it please?
[09:49] <Garga> I have / on the ext3 partation.
[09:49] <Garga> of the IDE disk.
[09:49] <wols> Garga: which one is your boot drive in BIO=S?
[09:49] <wols> *BIOS
[09:49] <koshari> S[h]O[r]T if you use the uuid it will work regardles of the sd**
[09:49] <Mrono> how do i reload fstab
[09:49] <Garga> wols, the IDE one.
[09:49] <Garga> err
[09:49] <Garga> I mean the sata one.
[09:49] <gnomefreak> Mrono: sudo mount -a
[09:49] <Garga> GRUB installed on the sata one.
[09:49] <koshari> S[h]O[r]T however grubs menu.1st may need some attention if its part of the nootstrap
[09:50] <wols> Garga: you need to install grub on the MBR of the sata one and have its files on the IDE one in /boot
[09:50] <koshari> Mrono sudo mount -a
[09:50] <Garga> wols, ok, how can I do that from within the livecd?
[09:50] <wols> !grub > Garga
[09:50]  * Garga is only familiar with lilo
