[13:11] <mneptok> vladuz976: so stick with Intrepid :)
[13:11] <mneptok> vladuz976: and check backports
[13:11] <vladuz976> mneptok: probably will
[13:11] <vladuz976> mneptok: oh ok
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> clifu: you can then select root console
[13:11] <scunizi_> ActionParsnip: Ajaxterm looks to be written in Python on the server side and Javascript o nthe client.  Runs as a daemon w/ mod_proxy and is gpl'd I think
[13:11] <vladuz976> sorry, just recently switched to ubuntu mneptok
[13:11] <vladuz976> mneptok: didn't know about that
[13:11] <mneptok> vladuz976: and you're apologizing for that?
[13:11] <vladuz976> mneptok: will google now
[13:12] <vladuz976> mneptok: no, for probably asking obvious questiosn
[13:12] <mneptok> vladuz976: uncomment backport repos in /etc/apt/sources.list

[13:14] <vladuz976> mneptok: yeah looks like only 1.0 is available
[13:14] <glitsj16> Matr|X: yes, that's a limitation i realized that too late .. there might be native ubuntu options with espeak and stardict, read the description of those packages in Synaptic and check if they have the features you want (don't use it myself so i can't say for sure)
[13:14] <dma> when i try to kill or finish any process it exits and doesn't do anything

[13:25] <suzao> how to get x resolution higher ?
[13:25] <suzao> does anyone know how to do it in 8.10?
[13:25] <elad`> If a shell script is using %1, and then is launched without a parameter, it sort of gets stuck. Can I use if-s in a script? Can I see how many parameters were provided?
[13:26] <scunizi_> suzao: have you looked in System->Admin->Hardware drivers to see if there is a video driver that needs activating?
[13:27] <scunizi_> elad`: if you're trying to automate the replacement of certain files on a remote system.. have you looked at rsync?
[13:27] <elad`> How do I reload .bashrc?
[13:27] <sergey_> hi. how can i clean apt-get cache?
[13:27] <elad`> Scunizi, I'm done with that part. Now I'm just trying to call it with the IP address.
[13:28] <scunizi_> ah
[13:28] <elad`> So, how do I make sure that if the IP isn't provided, the script just quits?
[13:29] <scunizi_> elad`: not sure.. I know little about scripting .. however if you don't get an answer here you might try ##linux
[13:30] <unr3a1> is there a way for me to tell what driver name I am using with my wireless card?
[13:31] <Boohbah> sergey_: apt-get autoclean

[13:40] <skald9> who Can help me ?
[13:40] <Dykam> ask?
[13:40] <scunizi_> max82fr: ctrl+alt+backspace
[13:41] <twitter1> In my taskbar, applications that minimize to an icon are no longer doing so. For example, Pidgin, which should minimize to an icon, is no longer doing so. Same with some other applications. What could be the problem?
[13:41] <suzao> scunizi_:it says unable to create xorg.conf backup when trying to apply/change settings
[13:42] <scunizi_> suzao: ah.. you need to run nvidia-settings as root.. so open terminal and sudo nvidia-settings.. then make your changes and save..
[13:42] <max82fr> didn t work
[13:42] <twitter1> Hello all. My system tray icons are not showing. What to do?
[13:43] <max82fr> does anyone know how to restore original Ubuntu settings??
[13:43] <suzao> scunizi_: thanks for the good tip.. another issue though.. the resolution i need is not displayed in the nvidia settings?
[13:43] <scunizi_> suzao: are you using a flat panel or crt monitor?
do you  know how to restore original Ubuntu settings??
[13:44] <suzao> scunizi_:crt
[13:44] <scunizi_> max82fr: no..
[13:44] <suzao> scunizi: no wiat.. flat ;-)
[13:44] <max82fr> does anyone know how to restore original Ubuntu settings??
[13:45] <suzao> scunizi_: I meant.. LCD ;-)
[13:45] <scunizi_> suzao: is it hooked up with a vga connector or dvi?
[13:46] <Huufarted> Quick mounting question for everybody.  Does Ubuntu have the ability native to mount an ftp server locally or do I need something like curlftpfs?
[13:46] <aata> does anyone know where i can get help with some vnc issues. i need to know how to vnc to a computer thats connected to my router from outside the local network. #vnc seems to be dead it would be good someone could point me in the right direction
[13:46] <panesar_sandeep> !vnc
[13:46] <suzao> scunizi_:vga
[13:46] <treenester1> anyone know why vid will temporarily freeze a few seconds in linux mint 6 64bit?
[13:46] <aata> !FreeNX > aata
[13:46] <Huufarted> aata, you need to forward port 5900 (default) to the appropriate internal PC
[13:46] <max82fr> how to restore Ubuntu to original settings please???
[13:47] <weechat_user> Any idea how i can throttle a particular network interface? I want to throttle "lo" in particular.
[13:47] <CTShadow> !vpn
[13:47] <Huufarted> aata, then simply connect to your public IP and you're done
[13:47] <Huufarted> aata, a more secure method is by opening an SSH tunnel.
[13:47] <scunizi_> suzao: I could be that the monitor isn't telling the computer what it's capable of.. xrandr controls the video for the most part and there is a command for it that will add the resolution to the list of "available" options.  You might also need to add the verticle refresh freqs. to xorg.
[13:47] <Huufarted> !ssh | aata
[13:47] <aata> Huufarted so like vnc://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5900?
[13:47] <scunizi_> suzao: I'll send you a link via ubottu
[13:47] <aata> or just vnc://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[13:47] <Huufarted> aata, yes.  BUt forward the port on your router, first
[13:47] <scunizi_> !resolution > suzao
[13:48] <aata> yes of course
[13:48] <pekalongan> yuiyii
[13:48] <pekalongan> yuyuy
[13:48] <pekalongan> ppp
[13:48] <werdnum> hi, I want a shell script to run at startup, is adding an init.d entry the best way to do this?
[13:48] <Huufarted> aata, port forwarding just tells any connections on your outside port to go to computer 192.168.x.x internally when an attempt is made.
[13:48] <max82fr> does anyone know how to restore original Ubuntu settings??
[13:48] <Huufarted> max82fr, which settings?
[13:48] <yolanda> how are you
[13:49] <max82fr> everything
[13:49] <skald9> my desktop icons are gone including drivers but i still have them in the top Bar
[13:49] <max82fr> Panel bar especially
[13:49] <Roland123> twitter1: maybe you removed the system tray from the panel?
[13:50] <pieces> My panel bar w/ all my launchers and stuff disappeared can anyone tell me know to bring it back?
 panel bar especially
[13:50] <skald9> my desktop icons are gone including drivers but i still have them in the panel Bar

[13:52] <histo> Not going to happen with ubuntu and advancemame though. To many issues iwth framebuffer and svgalib
[13:52] <skald9> my desktop icons are gone including drivers but i still have them in the panel Bar ...
[13:52] <max82fr> Huufarted> did it work fine?
[13:52] <venu> I am not able install display drivers. can some 1 help me....graphics card is intel's
[13:52] <Huufarted> max82fr, it really does remove the settings.  All of them.  It does replace them with defaults, but make sure you really do want to reset the entire Gnome desktop
[13:52] <histo> scunizi_: mame is a multiple arcade machine emulator it  allows you to run all the arcade gaes on your PC. I built an arcade cabinet with arcade parts joysticks buttons etc.. with a pc inside of it. Basically allt he arcade games running on it.
[13:53] <suzao> scunizi_: VGA
[13:53] <Huufarted> venu:  http://intellinuxgraphics.org
[13:53] <scunizi_> histo: cool.

[13:55] <Huufarted> max82fr, from terminal:  shutdown -r now

[13:55] <skald9> my desktop icons are gone including drivers but i still have them in the panelbar
[13:55] <max82fr> it says need to be root

[13:57] <Seveas> Huufarted, you've eaten enough babies already :)
[13:58] <Huufarted> skald9, desktop icons are merely saved in ~/Desktop
[13:58] <twitter1> Roland123: Its very probable. And sorry for late response, I was googling
[13:58] <arvind_khadri> hi how do i make the bot forget a factoid and make it learn a new one?
[13:58] <skald9> they are gone their too
[13:58] <twitter1> Roland123: Actually, I was trying to remove Network connections icon from taskbar, but System tray must have also got removed.
[13:58] <Seveas> ubottu, please tell arvind_khadri about yourself
[13:59] <Roland123> twitter1: i was working.. so no harm done :P
[13:59] <twitter1> Roland123: But in add to panel dialog, there is no system tray option
[13:59] <suzao> scunizi_: it says cannot find mode VGA-0
[13:59] <suzao> scunizi_:how do i know what mode to set.. i want to add 1280x1024
[13:59] <suzao> scunizi: correction... cannot find 'output' VGA-0
[13:59] <minche> i googled it before
[13:59] <minche> but nothing worked =()
[14:00] <Roland123> twitter1: it's called notification area...
[14:00] <Roland123> twitter1: i have looked for it too :p
[14:00] <scunizi_> suzao: what can't find it? xrandr? or nvidia-settings?
 wicked!! thanks a lot
[14:00] <twitter1> Roland123: Thanks for your help. The icons are back :D
[14:01] <minche> bah
[14:01] <Huufarted> max82fr, no problem.  It's a good link, bookmark it.
 i have a problem with Xchat Gnome. it won t work. i have to use the other one. cn u help?
[14:02] <Huufarted> !ask | max82fr
[14:02] <zorglu_> q. i got IM spam from my hotmail account, aka msg from people i dont know, is there an option to make it stop ? like 'dont gimme msg from people not in my contact list"
 do u know?
[14:03] <Huufarted> max82fr, you have to ask the question.  I don't even know what the problem is.
[14:03] <Boohbah> zorglu_: hotmail is not ubuntu
[14:03] <skald9> my desktop icons are gone including drivericons,  but i still have them in the panel Bar
[14:03] <max82fr> sorry.
[14:03] <zorglu_> Boohbah: glad you made the difference
[14:03] <scunizi_> zorglu_: are you using something like aMSN ?
[14:03] <NOTEBOOK> hi man
[14:03] <max82fr> My XChat Gnome won t start. It stays in the bottom bar and then disappear
[14:03] <zorglu_> scunizi_: im using pidgin
[14:03] <max82fr> how to fix that?
[14:03] <Boohbah> !hi | NOTEBOOK
[14:04] <NOTEBOOK> oh
[14:04] <scunizi_> zorglu_: if you're using pidgin to connect to messenger then I would switch to aMSN.  That should give you the option of ignoring people outside your contact list
[14:04] <NOTEBOOK> i'm late
[14:05] <NOTEBOOK> bye bye
[14:05] <skald9> how can i restore the icons including the driver-icons on my desktop
[14:05] <zorglu_> scunizi: ok noted. somebody on #pidgin just told me the answer it is in the 'privacy' setting
[14:06] <scunizi_> zorglu_: ok..
[14:06] <zorglu_> scunizi_: thanks for your help
[14:06] <knutwin> hi, i have restored my startup-manager configuration to default, and now i get the annoying "error 15: File not found" when i reboot. i cant access my ubuntu anymore. every grub list entry i select does not work and gives out the same "error 15"
[14:06] <arvind_khadri> Seveas, thanks...
[14:06] <Huufarted> skald9, what made them disappear?
[14:06] <suzao> scunizi_: commandline to xandr
[14:06] <Huufarted> skald9, and do you mean on the main desktop portion or did they disappear from the panels on top/bottom?
[14:06] <max82fr> My XChat Gnome won t start. It stays in the bottom bar and then disappear
 how to fix that?
[14:06] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, you the entries in your menu.lst would be screwed
[14:06] <skald9> I dont know, it was suddely gone when i started up today
[14:07] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: how can i solve that?
[14:07] <Huufarted> max82fr, I haven't seen that.  I don't know where the settings are kept.  You can try this:  sudo apt-get purge xchat-gnome
[14:07] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, are you on live-cd now?
[14:08] <scunizi_> suzao: you might be able to add it just by xrandr -s <resolution> .. but I haven't really played with xrandr enough to know how to use it.
[14:08] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: no, on another machine with ubuntu
[14:08] <Huufarted> max82fr, but that will WIPE xchat-gnome entirely
[14:08] <skald9> directory desktop is empty
[14:08] <suzao> scunizi_: xrander cant find it
[14:08] <scunizi_> max82fr: you should be using xchat instead of xchat-gnome anyway..
[14:09] <BLTnoTomato> when doing commands in the shell, how can I get all the info into one output file? like "ll > crap" and then "who > crap". I want them all to be in one file though, like appending
[14:09] <Huufarted> skald9, you'll have to redownload it.
[14:09] <max82fr> what will that do?
[14:09] <scunizi_> suzao: not xrander but xrandr
[14:09] <Huufarted> max82fr, it will get rid of xchat-gnome entirely, settings and all. I'd recommend xchat as well, though.
[14:09] <skald9> where do i do that ?
[14:09] <Huufarted> xchat-gnome is limited and looks like garbage IMO
[14:09] <skald9> and how ?µ
[14:09] <Huufarted> skald9, however you got them to begin with
[14:09] <max82fr> U prefer the Gnome one or this one?
[14:09] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, ok on the machine with the problem, go the command line from grub , press 'c' and then do find /boot/grub/stage1 , note down the value now and then go the menu back and press 'e' and check for the line 'root' , see if the value is correct or not
[14:09] <Huufarted> max82fr, the regular xchat, not xchat-gnome
[14:10] <scunizi_> Huufarted: the ~.xchat config file might still be left after a purge ..
[14:10] <max82fr> really?
[14:10] <Huufarted> Scunizi_, I don't doubt it
[14:10] <Huufarted> max82fr, yeah.  Why do you prefer the xchat-gnome?
[14:10] <max82fr> looks better, easier to read
[14:10] <skald9> what do you mean  Huufarted?
[14:11] <scunizi_> max82fr: you can change whatever you want in xchat..
[14:11] <Huufarted> skald9, your desktop is just a storage directory, just like everything else.  Either it's gone or on another user's desktop.
[14:11] <skald9> only one user here
[14:11] <max82fr> <scunizi dunno that yet
[14:11] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: im in thze command line, now how can i search?
[14:11] <suzao> scunizi_: yes xrandr
[14:11] <scunizi_> max82fr: no matter .. I use irssi
[14:11] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, of the machine which has the problem? type 'find /boot/grub/stage1'
[14:12] <max82fr> ok
[14:12] <Huufarted> knutwin:  find . -name "filename" -print
[14:12] <skald9> but how come the drives dont show but when i put in a usb-stick i can see it on desktop ?
[14:12] <Huufarted> knutwin:  ignore my statement
[14:12] <max82fr> does anyone knows how to set up evolution mail to work with hotmail?
[14:12] <scunizi_> suzao: sorry but I'm stuck at this point.. I'll leave it to those with more insight to the problem
[14:12] <scunizi_> max82fr: you can't unless you're paying for the hotmail service.. you can however, with gmail
[14:13] <max82fr> <scunizi u joking?
[14:13] <skald9> no max82fr its true
[14:13] <max82fr> <scunizi it s crap
[14:14] <suzao> scunizi_:thanks for your help
[14:14] <max82fr> does anyone use pidgin here??
[14:14] <scunizi_> max82fr: no.. as far as I know hotmail is accessable via pop only if you're paying for the service.. gmail has imap and pop access..
[14:14] <scunizi_> suzao: sorry I couldn't do more.
[14:14] <max82fr> scunizi> ok. do u use pidgin?
[14:15] <suzao> scunizi_: np thanks ;-)
[14:15] <scunizi_> max82fr: yep. and some others.
[14:15] <max82fr> scunizi> ok  i got rid of it because there s always an error message about user at start up
[14:15] <DuHast> pidgin i used to use :P
[14:15] <max82fr> scunizi> do u know how to fix this?
[14:16] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: my usb keyboard doesnt work
[14:16] <scunizi_> max82fr: kind of an undefined error.. can you be more specific?
[14:16] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: i have one nomral keyboard, but the letter "b" is broken
[14:16] <max82fr> scunizi> could not add user or something like that. does it ring a bell?
[14:16] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, no other keyboard? do one thing boot into a live-cd
[14:16] <knutwin> ok one moment
[14:17] <DJones> scunizi_: Thats pretty much true about hotmail, the only exception is if the hotmail account is an old one, from before 2004 when they started charging, also it seems like there are reports the hotmail is allowing free pop3/smtp access in certain countries now http://www.instantfundas.com/2009/01/hotmail-enables-free-pop3-and-smtp.html
[14:18] <scunizi_> max82fr: probably something in the syntax of what you were trying to do. I haven't had any issues with pidgin at all.. I've also used ekiga, wengophone, aMSN and finch
[14:18] <max82fr> oki let me reinstall it and i ll tell u the exact thing, ok?
[14:18] <shadeslayer> hi, i dont know how it happened,but every time i open a folder it opens in VLC
[14:18] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: its booting :-)
[14:18] <scunizi_> DJones: I guess that's good news for those that use it.. I use it as my online junk email account.. :)
[14:18] <scunizi_> max82fr: k
[14:19] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, :)
[14:19] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: ...into live cd version
[14:19] <DJones> scunizi_: :) same as me then, may as well let MS cope with my junk mail
[14:19] <shadeslayer> how do i set it back to open with nautilus
[14:19] <dolop> kshfkjdhf
[14:19] <dolop> bbbjdhf
[14:19] <dolop> bfjjjdf
[14:20] <shadeslayer> testing??
[14:20] <scunizi_> DJones: I figure it's my effort to keep there servers as busy as possible.. kinda interesting if you turn off all the junk mail filters.

[14:26] <shadeslayer> np
  still here?
[14:26] <shadeslayer> now only if i could know how to solve me problem
[14:27] <scunizi_> max82fr: it's related to your msn account I think.. I just googled it and you're not the only one with the problem.. you might google and see what comes up for solutions.. I'm on terminal and using a terminal based browser to look. Kinda hard cutting and pasting from one screen window to the next
[14:27] <arvind_> knutwin, sorry had a disconnection
[14:27] <knutwin> arvind_: ok
[14:27] <max82fr> oki forget it
[14:27] <knutwin> arvind_: (hd1,6)
[14:27] <arvind_> knutwin, so what does it return?
  what s the best alternative to MSN messenger?
[14:27] <paradoxgoeshere> okay I accidentally pressed WIN+R and everything is all zoomed in
[14:27] <paradoxgoeshere> how do I fix
[14:27] <arvind_> knutwin, now mount your linux drive onto /mnt and change your menu.lst
[14:28] <shadeslayer> OMG
[14:28] <shadeslayer> i unlocked root
[14:28] <scunizi_> max82fr: aMSN.. it's in the repos.. there's also emesen or something like that..
[14:28] <knutwin> arvind_: /mnt hd1,6???
 repos?!
[14:28] <knutwin> arvind_: dont really know how to do it
 I use Kmess so far
 is that good?
[14:29] <scunizi_> max82fr: that's where all the programs for ubuntu are located for download.. Check System>Admin>Synaptic Package manager.  That's where you'll find the program
[14:29] <shadeslayer> maybe ill just restart
[14:29] <scunizi_> max82fr: I don't know what Kmess is..
[14:29] <shadeslayer> ><
[14:29] <shadeslayer> bye
 last question, do u have an ipd touch?
[14:29] <orangekid> what's the difference between suspend and hibernate?
 suspend is the equivalent of Stand by in Windows
[14:30] <arvind_> knutwin, nope.... hit Ctrl+Shift+T and type sudo fdisk -l
[14:30] <scunizi_> max82fr: my son does.. the only way to make it work is if you're running windows in a vm.. otherwise I think there might be a "jailbreak" way of making it work but it's risky
[14:30] <orangekid> oh
 I jailbroke it but Im screwed now. it doesn t work in ubuntu
 cannot mount it
[14:31] <orangekid> max82fr:  you just need to restore it
[14:31] <orangekid> by dling the firmware from itunes
[14:31] <orangekid> there's also sites with firmware
[14:31] <orangekid> check out www.ipodtouchfans.com
 do u know how to make it work in Ubuntu???
[14:31] <orangekid> the forums
[14:32] <orangekid> i dont know if there's a native linux app that works with the itouch
[14:32] <orangekid> i dual boot
 can u help me please
[14:32] <orangekid> because im a realist =P
  i ve been looking for help on that for a week

[14:35] <twitter1> max82fr: I don't think so.
[14:35] <max82fr> yeah right
[14:36] <knutwin> arvind_k: did that
[14:36] <scunizi_> max82fr: you're being a bit short sighted.. there are people in here from ALL over the world.. just because it's an english channel doesn't mean it's U.S. centric ..
[14:36] <knutwin> arvind_k: now?
 I know. still made me laugh, sorry LOL
[14:36] <twitter1> max82fr: exactly, I didn't really like that quick NO of yours. But you misunderstood my comment

[14:43] <shadeslayer> didnt realise it was so simple
[14:43] <oCean_> shadeslayer: sometimes things are ..
[14:43] <fasta> Is the point of a distribution that users do not need to compile everything and in particular not the kernel? If so, Ubuntu is pointless for me. Since, only after I compiled a kernel, all my hardware magically worked, while the "packages" all failed with mysterious error messages.
[14:43] <fasta> kernel.org has never let me down, I think.
[14:44] <knutwin> arvind_k: still there?
[14:44] <shadeslayer> oCean_: true
[14:44] <rapha> fasta: Then you seem to be an exception.
[14:44] <shadeslayer> ping him  :P

[14:48] <MaxFrames> I can't change the network settings with Network Manager. When I try to commit the changes, it says it cannot save them because the connection properties (for eth0) are read-only
[14:49] <MaxFrames> in addition, if I change the connection properties with ifconfig the Network Manager does not reflect the changes (it still shows the old values)
[14:49] <knutwin> arvind__:  error still there

[14:52] <ActionParsnip> hey gus
[14:52] <e3co> DrDigital:  could it be the cd drive?

[14:52] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, hmm no idea what to do now...
[14:53] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, can you hang on for a while?
[14:53] <DrDigital> how could it be the cd drive if the live cds working?

[14:55] <hwilde> Can I just say the fact that gparted displays partition size in GiB but allows resizing in GB is a pita
[14:56] <hwilde> /dev/sdb1 displays size 71.45 GiB... try resizing /dev/sda1 to match good luck :/

[14:59] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: yes
[14:59] <DrDigital> ActionParsnip, the one that united states giggnet gives when you select it from the pop up list
[14:59] <DrDigital> 64 bit
[14:59] <DrDigital> desktop
[14:59] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: every grub entry i select is error 15
[14:59] <gnr> hi can i have a little help setting up my partitions? :) i have a 320gb hd, would like to know how much to leave for the os and swap etc. but would also like to put windows 7 on a small partition
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> DrDigital: is it ubuntu, kubuntus, xubitu?
[15:00] <DrDigital> ubuntu
[15:00] <hwilde> DrDigital, f9cdb7e9ad85263dde17f8fc81a6305b *ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso
[15:00] <kuba_160> hi
[15:00] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: the problem started with resetting startup-manager to default
[15:00] <hwilde> gnr, my rule of thumb is swap = 2x ram
[15:00] <DrDigital> thanks
[15:00] <gnr> 4gb then. but isn't that a little much hwilde?
[15:01] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, your menu.lst seems to be fine... cant you use any other keyboard here? what did you do with network-manager?
[15:01] <DrDigital> its good
[15:01] <gnr> and hwilde how would i go about setting up the partitions for windows
[15:01] <arvind_khadri> hwilde, thats only for ram less than a gb gnr
[15:01] <DrDigital> guess ill go back to fedora
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> DrDigital: http://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/MIRRORS/ubuntu-releases/8.10/MD5SUMS
[15:01] <arvind_khadri> !swap | hwilde ,
[15:01] <fr00d> Hello!
[15:01] <hwilde> gnr, how much space do you want for windows?
[15:02] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: nothing with network manager.. i just resetted the program "startup-manager" (installable from ubuntu repos) to the default. after doing that he prompted me to reboot. after that the error came
[15:02] <gnr> around 20gb hwilde perhaps 30
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: only have a good swap if its needed
[15:02] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, oh ok, what did you change?
[15:02] <DrDigital> md5s match up
[15:02] <fr00d> I've an apacheproblem with xen. [ 1196.922123] apache2[4170] general protection eip:b7a908ab esp:bf9579c4 error:0 What do I need to do that apache starts normally?
[15:02] <DrDigital> and ive burned 11 cds
[15:02] <DrDigital> each one same issue
[15:03] <DrDigital> fedora worked
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> DrDigital: you should check those as well as verify the burned cd is ok
[15:03] <fr00d> Another Xen DomU is running apache pretty well.
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> DrDigital: also burn the iso as slow as you physically can
[15:03] <Ko_deZ> Hi. I would like to run "blockdev --setra 4096 /dev/sdb" at startup. I was wondering if there is a init.d script that does this? hdparm has its config file, does blockdev also have the same?
[15:03] <DrDigital> yeah i did
[15:03] <DrDigital> 8x
[15:03] <DrDigital> slowest the disk allowed
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> DrDigital: all awesome so far
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | DrDigital
[15:03] <hwilde> ActionParsnip, dd has no progress bar or nothing?    I dunno if this is working or just sitting there.
[15:03] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: i dont really know.. there was a button that said reset to default and i pressed it :x ... before that i was trying to install a usplash theme
[15:04] <loopux> hi...
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> DrDigital: try some bootoptions like acpi off nodma etc
[15:04] <DrDigital> i just plan to use the system to run virtualizations of other linux system
[15:04] <loopux> i have a problem with grub...
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: depending on the partition sizes will dictate how long it takes, dd unfortunately has no progress bar
[15:04] <yowwww> im getting an error 24 on my jaunty install (the file system is clean), anyone have any ideas? ive already reinstalled grub.
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: but it will do a bit by bit copy
[15:05] <hwilde> ActionParsnip, and they are solid state so I can't even hear them doing anything...
[15:05] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: i have an adapter from usb to ps2? does that help me?
[15:05] <DarkKnight> hey my sound isn't working in my vbox
[15:05] <DarkKnight> hey my sound isn't working in my vbox can anyone help me wih that
[15:05] <hwilde> ActionParsnip, fdisk shows the partition table created so I guess it's doing something.
[15:05] <hwilde> !vbox | DarkKnight
[15:05] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, aah, dont try to play with usplash it most of the times doesnt work :) .. i have no idea about that adapter , you can try anyways
[15:05] <hari1> can some one guide me Installing  Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics  controller drivers on Ubuntu ....?
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: shoud be smooth then, solid state is less bursty that platter based
[15:06] <Guest28677> Hi I started Xnest like so "Xnest :10". How do I run gdm in it now?
[15:06] <hwilde> ActionParsnip, how does it handle blank space?  disk is 74G but only 4G used.  will it write all those zeros too
[15:06] <fr00d> What's the matter when I can't even start /usr/sbin/apache2 --help?
[15:07] <Eressolar> fr00d: exactly what error do you receive?
[15:08] <hechu> hari1, can you use X environment now ?
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: i believe they will be unallocated space but i think you can add them to the other partitions of make a new on e and mount it some place
[15:09] <hechu> fr00d, you may use "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start" to start you http server.
[15:09] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, ???
[15:09] <fr00d> Eressolar: [   70.658298] apache2[3908] general protection eip:b7b158ab esp:bff32c04 error:0
[15:09] <fr00d> This is the exact error.
[15:10] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: i have to get it from a friend.. give me 5 min
[15:10] <fr00d> hechu: The init-script doesn't work asswell.
[15:10] <hari1> hechu: i am not able to enable visual effects .. .
[15:10] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, sure :)
[15:10] <jc> is there an off-topic channel
[15:10] <DJones> !offtopic | jc
[15:11] <gnr> anyone have a little time to help me set up some partitions, little new to it..
[15:11] <kestrel> my friend, for whom I set up Ubuntu, is having an issue.  The applications menu has stopped working!  Places and System still work, but Applications will not react to button press.  Any ideas?
[15:11] <marca311> gnr sure
[15:12] <hechu> hari1, did you installed compiz ?
[15:12] <yangyanli_> Hi all, could someone give me a guide on how to set the CATALINA_HOME?
[15:12] <virtaava> fr00d, that souns like kernels Segmentation fault error message?
[15:12] <hari1> yes...
[15:12] <gnr> thanks marca311, does pm work on this server? bit busy in here..
[15:13] <fr00d> virtaava: Not the Kernel segfaults but the apache.
[15:13] <hechu> hari1, usually 845G chipset use i810 driver. and I remember my old computer(which has a 845G chipset) can run 3D effect.
[15:13] <marca311> gnr. i don't know
[15:14] <fr00d> Google says I should run memcheck, but I don't think that really helps in an Xen DomU.
[15:14] <fr00d> -n
[15:14] <gnr> marca311:  join #marca311    :D
[15:14] <virtaava> try rebuilding your ldap
[15:14] <hari1> hechu:but in hardware drivers, no driver is being displayed to be activated...
[15:16] <hechu> hari1, the 'hardware drivers' is used to provide restricted drivers such as ATI/Nvidia graphics driver or WLAN wifi driver.
[15:17] <king> hey
[15:17] <eldenz> how is the package named that give me manpages for C/systemcalls ?
[15:17] <eldenz> like lstat etc
[15:17] <arvind_khadri> !hi | king
[15:18] <hari1> hechu:then how can i config my onboard graphics to support visual effects of ccsm...?
[15:18] <DrDigital> bizzare, CentOS just burned and installed no issues
[15:18] <RizR> hello. Is there a way to open a new tab in an already opened gnome-terminal using command line?
[15:18] <RizR> It's like doing gnome-terminal --tab but attach it with an existing window rather than opening a new one
[15:19] <arvind_khadri> RizR, ctrl+shift+t
[15:20] <RizR> arvind_khadri: that opens in current gnome-terminal window. I need in "any" open gnome-terminal window
[15:20] <scunizi_> RizR: yes.. it's called screen.. check it out
[15:21] <k4dm> siemka
[15:21] <scunizi_> RizR: but... you have to start screen before you get wrapped up in doing something at terminal.. if you can send what you have going to the background then you can initiate screen
[15:21] <admin_masu3701> hello i have a question... i dont know what happen but i am not root user anymore..i try to sudo apt-get update and get a message user is not in the sudoers
[15:22] <admin_masu3701> how can i become root again?
[15:22] <RizR> scrunizi_: I know screen but I think that's not what I need.
[15:22] <hechu> hari1, I am reading some document about 845. it seems some bad news.
[15:22] <erUSUL> !root | admin_masu3701
[15:22] <scunizi_> RizR: screen will "split" so you can have something going in each window
[15:22] <erUSUL> !sudo > admin_masu3701
[15:22] <RizR> scunizi_: screen deals with the outout of terminals and the terminal itself. I need something to talk to the gnome-terminal thing.
[15:23] <hechu> hari1, refer to the release note of 8.10: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#Hangs%20with%20desktop%20effects%20on%20Intel%20830MG%20and%20845G%20video%20cards
[15:23] <arvind_khadri> admin_masu3701, check out /etc/sudoers
[15:24] <hechu> hari1, There is a bug in the Intel video driver for the older intel 830 and 845 integrated video cards that are used on laptops like the IBM R30. Desktop effects with compiz will not work on those chips and will freeze the system. For new installations, please install using the safe graphics mode (press F4 in the startup screen) on these systems and disable desktop effects via System -> Preferences -> Appearance, clicking on "Visual effects" and choosing "No
[15:24] <hechu> ne".
[15:24] <scunizi_> RizR: maybe I misunderstood .. you wanted a new tab in terminal, the gui windowed terminal ?
[15:24] <AlexMax> Hi there, is it possible to enable cyrilic characters in gnome-terminal?
[15:24] <RizR> scunizi: yes.
[15:24] <hari1> hechu:ok..:)
[15:24] <nutzer> hallo
[15:25] <RizR> scunizi_: if one has more than one gnome-terminals open and one wants to open a new tab in gnome-terminal window of his choice. how it's done.
[15:25] <AlexMax> My locale is utf-8 but when i look at cyrilic text in irssi for example it shows up as a bunch of weird letters
[15:25] <scunizi_> RizR: so you're just looking for the command to make that happen but not because you neccessarily need another tab..?
[15:25] <magnetron> AlexMax→ your IRC friends probably doesn't use UTF-8
[15:25] <hechu> hari1, bad news. I don't know if it fixed now.
[15:26] <tuxorz> hello everyone and good moring
[15:26] <jc> AlexMax: unicode terminal?
[15:26] <magnetron> tuxorz→ welcome and good afternoon
[15:26] <RizR> scunizi_: well I need another tab :-) that's why I'm looking for it.
[15:26] <hechu> hari1, but I do remember I've use 3D effect in my old computer.
[15:26] <tuxorz> ty magnetron
[15:26] <AlexMax> jc: yeah i'm using gnome-terminal in utf-8 mode
[15:26] <hari1> hechu:then how to go about........?
[15:26] <l3dplated_Linux> how many accounts should I make on a fresh install?
[15:27] <magnetron> AlexMax→ your terminal already accepts cyrillic letters, but maybe your font doesn't?
[15:27] <scunizi_> RizR: File/New Tab .. since you're in the gui use the menu
[15:27] <admin_masu3701> arvind_khadri: when i try to access /etc/sudoers it says that i dont have permission
[15:27] <devilsF00d> hi how can you determine what your broadcast address should be when setting an interface for a static IP?
[15:27] <AlexMax> magnetron: I'm using normal font
[15:27] <magnetron> l3dplated_Linux→ are you talking about user accounts? one account per user i guess.
[15:27] <RizR> scunizi_: this is straight forward but not what I asked. no worries mate. I think it can't be done using gnome-terminal.
[15:27] <RizR> scunizi_: thanks anyway.
[15:27] <tuxorz> is anyone avalible to help with some issues i'm having with opengl support for my ATI 3100 mobile radeon graphic card for my laptop?
[15:28] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: the adapter doesnt work
[15:28] <AlexMax> magnetron: However I added the cyrlic iso encodings and switch to that. then i started to see cyrlic letters
[15:28] <admin_masu3701> ubottu: i was able to do updates and install before
[15:28] <admin_masu3701> now i just cant
[15:28] <hechu> hari1, my old computer runs 3D very fine. about 2 years ago.
[15:28] <arvind_khadri> admin_masu3701, do cat /etc/sudoers and see if your name is there?
[15:28] <magnetron> AlexMax→ that means that your friends doesn't use UTF-8.
[15:28] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: maybe i backup my files and reinstall ubuntu... or is there another way?
[15:29] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, aah bad luck.... backup whatever is there in your home... and re-install and remember not to mess with usplash :P :)
[15:29] <l3dplated_Linux> Magnetron  so I should see me and root in the user list if no one else is going to use the pc
[15:29] <tuxorz> im running compiz fusion just fine but i am unable to get any viewable game play in the opengl type of games
[15:29] <hari1> hechu:ok... i will catch u later..........

[15:40] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: yes that will work, you'll have to increase the partition and then the filesystem size afterwards though probably
[15:40] <Droopsta915> I need to help a friend fix his computer. Is there a windows chat in here?

[15:41] <Phantom-X> hmm
[15:41] <Phantom-X> do i need to patch or retrieve another kernel to get ipset to work in ubunti intrepid ?
[15:42] <arvind_khadri> tuxorz, as compiz uses all of the grpahics :) simple
[15:42] <funkyHat> tuxorz: possibly because Compiz is using OpenGL already, so the game can't
[15:42] <tuxorz> really wow that may be it
[15:42] <perlsyntax> erUSUL not anytjhing happon
[15:42] <anton_> erUSUL: killall doesnt work

[15:43] <anton_> how 2 restore screen size?
[15:43] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: I think that gparted can do it all for you (don't know for certain, never tried it)
[15:44] <huhn23> Hello. I've got the mp3 unfree package installed, still however, playing mp3/ogg&whatever music file will only work occasionally.sometimes when I press play just nothing happens. this happens in all (rhythmbox, exaile,banshee) players. what could it be?
[15:44] <Dreamglider> funkyHat: does the destination need to be partitioned at all? (it's a brand new disk)
[15:44] <anton_> how 2 restore screen size?
[15:44] <Dreamglider> funkyHat: and the source has 3 partitions, one ntfs one ext3 and a swap area
[15:44] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: no, dd will copy everything, including the partition table if you use the device names for if and of
[15:45] <cristi> hy! i am having a sound problem. when i plug in my headset the sound outputs through headset AND speakers, instead of just headset. What should i do?
[15:45] <storbeck> cristi: mute Front
[15:45] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: right... which partition are you planning to expand?
[15:45] <Dreamglider> funkyHat: i need to clone the whole drive
[15:45] <dmizer> on the xfce desktop, how do i change the name of the "home" folder to my username?
[15:46] <cristi> storbeck: if i do so the sound won't output through headset
[15:46] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: ok, dd will do that, but after you've done that, which partition do you want to expand to fill the extra space you'll have?
[15:46] <storbeck> cristi: It should
[15:46] <cristi> but it's not
[15:47] <cristi> storbeck: but it's not
[15:47] <storbeck> cristi: Try muting PCM then
[15:47] <Dreamglider> funkyHat: ahh, well first ill expand the ext3(Ubuntu) partition, and if posible id like the ntfs a bit bigger allso, but primary the ext3 partition.
[15:47] <cristi> storbeck: same
[15:47] <arvind_khadri> !resolution | anton_
[15:47] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: I'm guessing your ntfs partition is first on the disc, in which case expanding your ext3 partition will be quite easy, but the nfts one not so much
[15:48] <storbeck> cristi: Try opening up alsamixer and playing around with mute. On mine I just mute Front and headphones still work
[15:48] <dmizer> in xfce, how do i change the name of the home icon on the desktop to my user name?
[15:48] <cristi> storbeck: blah ok
[15:48] <erUSUL> dmizer: try #xubuntu
[15:48] <dmizer> erUSUL thanks.
[15:49] <cristi> storbeck: i did, and didn't reach any results
[15:49] <erUSUL> dmizer: no problem
[15:49] <tuxorz> hello everyone
[15:50] <Dreamglider> funkyHat: yes the ntfs is first then comes the ext3, i have tried to expand the ext3 with gparted, it's quite easy.

[15:50] <Dreamglider> funkyHat:  is   "dd if=/dev/source if=/dev/destination" wrong ? (here both are "if")
[15:51] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: yes it should be dd if=/dev/source of=/dev/destination
[15:51] <arvind_khadri> erUSUL, i always thought you were a op :)
[15:51] <ariqs> ok, say I compile something with qmake -recursive and then make, and I want to throw in cpu optimization for my cpu in the compile, how do I go about that?  Ill initiate the command now and pray.
[15:51] <erUSUL> arvind_khadri: i do not have that responsability XD
[15:52] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: sorry I didn't notice you'd put if twice in your question

[15:53] <Jeruvy> oxyen: passwd and addpasswd, see man passwd for details
[15:53] <storbeck> oxygen: If you're just setting the reg. user password, just use: passwd
[15:53] <tuxorz> im on a laptop,...humm maybe its my resolution setting for my desktop 1200 x 800
[15:53] <cristi> storbeck: hm something interesting. i started alsamixer in terminal and at headphone i can't adjust volume or manipulate.
[15:53] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: if you're happy with just resizing your ext3 partition then that's fine, if you want to resize your ntfs too I would suggest partitioning the new drive with 1 partition the same size (or a bit bigger) than your current ntfs, then taking out your old disc, using the windows installer disc to 'repair' the installation and repartitioning ntfs from windows
[15:53] <nemera> do someone know a program that is a wysiwyg for web creation ? like drag and drop feature ( a bit like Iweb on apple os 10 )
[15:54] <Omatic> Hi guys, how can I delete a file or directory refuses to delete with the command rm -rf <filename> claiming that it's Read-only, It's also not accepting permission or ownership changes, the files are in a flash disk. Thanks
[15:54] <arvind_khadri> !nvu | nemera
[15:54] <erUSUL> nemera: kompozer ?
[15:54] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: then after that creating a new partition using gparted, then use dd to copy just your / partition, then resize that using gparted
[15:54] <item> part & 2
[15:54] <storbeck> Omatic: chmod 644 file
[15:54] <nemera> thanks a lot friends :) ill take a look at it
[15:54] <erUSUL> Omatic: the filesystem is mounted as read only. you have to remount it rw
[15:54] <storbeck> Or rather, sudo chmod 644 file
[15:54] <nemera> i m so happy with my ubuntu ( no other system on computer anymore appart ubuntu intrepid ;p )
[15:55] <nemera> komposer and nvu :)t will check tha
[15:55] <erUSUL> Omatic: maybe the flash disk has a hardware switch to "lock" it
[15:55] <Omatic> erUSUL, how do I remount and mount
[15:55] <admin_masu3701> can someone tell me how to make a user be root
[15:55] <erUSUL> Omatic: try this "sudo mount -o remount,rw /mount/point"
[15:56] <erUSUL> admin_masu3701: the first user created on a ubuntu system can use sudo
[15:56] <tuxorz> no its not the resolution thats stopping me from playing planet penguin racer
[15:56] <erUSUL> admin_masu3701: if you want some other user to have the same powers just add him to the admin group
[15:56] <tuxorz> May I get some help on this graphic challenge here?
[15:57] <storbeck> admin_masu3701: sudo -i
[15:57] <corey> I am looking for  a desktop manager that is eye candy
[15:57] <funkyHat> tuxorz: try running `metacity --replace' before you start your game and see if it makes any difference
[15:57] <monreal> Can someone help me with a kernel/module/boot problem? Looks like ubuntu generates broken initrds for me now which don't boot. All I see at boot is ""udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured."
[15:57] <skald9> can someone help me ? No icons anymore on my desktop and can't mount external harddisk (even after re-installing!)
[15:57] <funkyHat> tuxorz: you can run compiz --replace to turn compiz back on afterwards
[15:58] <tuxorz> funnyHat ok ty
[15:58] <ghostcube> compiz --replace & disown
[15:58] <corey> I am looking for  a desktop manager that is eye candy
[15:58] <mostafa> wht is compiz
[15:58] <ghostcube> de is not eyecandy the WM will be the eyecandy
[15:58] <storbeck> corey: That's a generic question. For me, eye candy is fluxbox. For others, it's gentoo with all the compiz features
[15:58] <ghostcube> so compiz or kde4 effects will do this
[15:59] <scunizi_> corey: e17 is popular
[15:59] <arvind_khadri> !compiz | mostafa
[15:59] <storbeck> err, not gentoo, ubuntu*
[15:59] <storbeck> :)
[15:59] <corey> Thank guys! I am looking for one that is pretty like vista and has the search bar for files
[15:59] <storbeck> Oh my
[16:00] <bribagz> whats Vista?
[16:00] <scunizi_> corey: the searchbar is called deskbar and you can put that on gnome if you want
[16:00] <arvind_khadri> !vista | bribagz
[16:00] <tuxorz> no funnyHat that didn't work
[16:00] <corey> scunizi_ : deskbar? Thank I will look into that
[16:00] <Jan|> how do I change gslideshow settings?
[16:00] <sammy> lets say I deleted a functions file that an init.d script needs. trying to remove, install, force remove or force install that package using apt-get or dpkg tries to stop the daemon using the init script first, which can't find the function file, and dies.
[16:00] <Jubez> !ubuntu-server
[16:01] <funkyHat> tuxorz: no difference? or the command didn't work?
[16:01] <sammy> I should be able to restore the function file from the .deb or set the daemon state to stopped somehow, but I'm  not sure how to do either.
[16:01] <failers> !sabayon
[16:01] <tuxorz> i still can her the sound, see the basic color scheme but its still all horozontal lines
[16:01] <scunizi_> corey: just right mouse click one of your bars and "add" then look for Deskbar in the list
[16:01] <MarkH88> Hi, im currently running ubuntu and i want to nuke my VISTA partition and install XP on it, i was just hoping for some advice before i do this
[16:01] <tuxorz> i used the compiz icon to switch to metacity
[16:02] <scunizi_> MarkH88: you can do that but after reinstalling xp you'll have to fix grub.. I'll send you a link
[16:02] <scunizi_> !grub > MarkH88
[16:02] <funkyHat> MarkH88: my advice is be very careful when choosing your partition in the windows XP installer, it can be tricksy. Also after you've done that you'll have to use the ubuntu live CD to reinstall Grub
[16:02] <tuxorz> and it does it not only for games but for just about anything that runs advancded graphics
[16:03] <tuxorz> its like some horizontal sync is messing up....i dropped my display to 1024 by 768 too
[16:04] <ariqs> I don't know what I'm doing, I ran qmake -recursive -makefile, and now I don't know how to make with the makefile make -f Makefile doesn't work
[16:04] <Akkernight_> Hello. How do I see if my Ubuntu is 64bit
[16:04] <profanephobia> Can i change the color of the selection box the mouse makes?
[16:05] <funkyHat> Akkernight_: uname -a
[16:05] <natsukashi> Hm, I managed to fail with my dualboot installation. Ubuntu is the only one that boots now. ):
[16:05] <Akkernight_> where do I type uname -a
[16:05] <natsukashi> And the wiki didn't help me either. ):
[16:06] <funkyHat> Akkernight_: in a terminal window

[16:07] <natsukashi> cristi: Well, I followed the normal installation procedure and when I rebooted my computer it just booted Ubuntu. Then I checked the boot thingy in BIOS and there were only Ubuntu to be chosen from. :/
[16:07] <erUSUL> Omatic: is with the -o "sudo mount -o remount,rw /mount/point"
[16:07] <gnr> !swap
[16:08] <erUSUL> Akkernight_: System<Preferences>keyboard choose the correct layout
[16:08] <perlsyntax> nyone know how to print a pdf file off your printer???????
[16:08] <tuxorz> anyone know a good place to go get graphic support?
[16:08] <cristi> natsukashi: if you installed windows, and then ubuntu you should be able to see both with grub at startup
[16:08] <funkyHat> Akkernight_: possibly because you have a UK keyboard (or some other layout) and the CD defaults to US
[16:08] <Omatic> erUSUL, oh I see
[16:08] <Akkernight_> I have Scandinavian, and thanks!

[16:18]  * coskund is away (Gule Gule (Cevrim Disi) | Bye Bye (Offline))
[16:18] <Pici> !away > coskund
[16:18] <c0p3rn1c> rai: press CTRL-ALT-F1 and login trough the terminal and change your config there
[16:19] <natsukashi> I don't like the looks of this. One of my HDD's isn't showing up
[16:19] <Besogon> natsukashi, No. This file like boot.ini in Windows and more. Sorry. I cant tell you enough about it, but in the internet have many information.
[16:19] <yharrow> natsukashi, what issue were you having?
[16:20] <arvind_khadri> rai, ask #compiz-fusion
[16:20] <natsukashi> yharrow: The one with Windows not showing up in the boot menu or about a HDD that suddenly disappeared?
[16:21] <yharrow> natsukashi, boot entries are listed in /boot/grub/menu.lst. You can either manually edit that file or use a tool called Start Up Manager to graphically eidtt aht file
[16:21] <yharrow> edit*
[16:22] <yharrow> natsukashi, one moment, I will try to give you some more specific instructions
[16:22] <natsukashi> yharrow: Thanks. :)
[16:23] <zoidfarb> Does anyone know how to assign a custom unicode character to a shortcut key?
[16:23] <zoidfarb> To type foreign letters, for instance
[16:23] <ict> dd
[16:24] <rai> cop3rn1c:now terminal opened what to do there?
[16:24] <hwilde> !keytouch | zoidfarb
[16:25] <zoidfarb> hwilde, thanks, but that's not what I'm asking
[16:25] <zoidfarb> that's for keyboard shortcuts to launch apps
[16:25] <funkyHat> zoidfarb: it might be that the character you want can be typed using a deadkey... what is it?
[16:25] <zoidfarb> not to type special characters
[16:25] <zoidfarb> I want to type the interrobang (! and ? together)
[16:25] <yharrow> natsukashi, go to accessories > terminal
[16:25] <zoidfarb> it's unicode character 203D
[16:25] <c0p3rn1c> rai: ehm ask at #compiz-fusion
[16:26] <natsukashi> yharrow: Done, what should I write?
[16:26] <Pici> zoidfarb: See System>Preferences>Keyboard, iirc theres a setting in there for dead keys.
[16:26] <yharrow> natsukashi, sudo aptitude install startupmanager
[16:26] <zoidfarb> Pici, thanks
[16:26] <zoidfarb> lemme see
[16:27] <yharrow> then enter yoru password
[16:27] <natsukashi> Done~
[16:27] <c0p3rn1c> I just removed the package ubuntu-mythtv-frontend but the mythtv user account still tries to login, any idea's ?
[16:28] <zoidfarb> Pici, nothing under layouts seems to let me actually manually choose a unicode character
[16:28] <zoidfarb> Pici, it lets me choose pre-existing layouts, but that's all
[16:28] <zoidfarb> not create/customize my own layout
[16:28] <zoidfarb> Pici, do you know if the keyboard layouts are specified in a config file somewhere?
[16:29] <yharrow> natsukashi, installed?
[16:29] <natsukashi> yharrow: yes, and I opened it up. But windows doesn't show up in the list. ;_;
[16:29] <yharrow> ok, so we probably need to add it. :s
[16:30] <dopxminx> how can i enable the root account?
[16:30] <Omatic> Hi guys, what does the error "input/output" mean when I try to save into a flash disk
[16:30] <storbeck> zoidfarb: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=27039
[16:31] <hanasaki> how can I play the stream from http://www.989therock.com/    in a rythm box instead of that html popup?
[16:31] <funkyHat> dopxminx: if you want to use a root terminal you can type sudo -i
[16:32] <SEVILLA> hanasaki: right click and select play in
[16:32] <yharrow> natsukashi, ok apparently we are going to need to edit your menu.lst file.
[16:32] <yharrow> natsukashi, close SUM
[16:32] <SEVILLA> hanasaki: when it starts playing
[16:32] <yharrow> natsukashi, close (start up manage)
[16:33] <natsukashi> yharrow: already closed. :)
[16:33] <yharrow> natsukashi, open terminal and type "sudo gedit /etc/grub/menu.lst"
[16:33] <scunizi_> *gksudo
[16:33] <storbeck> You should use gksudo
[16:34] <SEVILLA> hanasaki: if that doesn't work not sure than?
[16:34] <hanasaki> SEVILLA:  check the "listen" link... looks like it plays through the flash plugin in firefox....
[16:34] <storbeck> hanasaki: It'

[16:34] <storbeck> It's embedded into flash, I don't think you can
[16:34] <hanasaki> storbeck: ?

[16:37] <funkyHat> rai: after logging in and waiting a while, press Alt+F2 and type 'metacity --replace' then press enter
[16:37] <yharrow> natsukashi, go to this site http://pastebin.com/

[16:42] <scunizi_> Nevis: the 180.35 drivers have issues.. back down the version
[16:43] <funkyHat> Nevis: they would be doing that anyway, compiz just lets you know it's happening by greying out the window

[16:44] <flice> hi
[16:44] <flice> is there a good x264 encoding frontend for Linux?
[16:44] <max82fr> hi guys
[16:44] <max82fr> Please. Is there an equivalent of task manager in Ubuntu????
[16:44] <scunizi_> flice: handbreak
[16:44] <rai> funkyHat:now i got the normal window
[16:45] <magnetron> flice→ excuse me, what do you mean by "frontend"? there are a lot of tools for encoding x264.
[16:45] <daftykins> max82fr, click System -> Administration -> System Monitor
[16:45] <yharrow> natsukashi,  what version of windows do you have?
[16:45] <max82fr> Please. Is there an equivalent of task manager in Ubuntu????
[16:45] <flice> magnetron: I mean gui
[16:45] <natsukashi> yharrow: Windows XP Home Serive Pack 2.0
[16:45] <magnetron> !repeat | max82fr
[16:45] <daftykins> FYI "x264" *is* an open source H.264 frontend, it is not an encoder in and of itself
[16:45] <flice> magnetron: tried avidemux, it's too buggy
[16:45] <yharrow> natsukashi, ok open a new terminal and type "mount"
[16:45] <max82fr> THanks
[16:45] <rai> funkyHat:but once again facing the same problem
 Fuck Off
[16:46] <arvind_khadri> max82fr, System->administration->system monitor
[16:46] <flice> Daft_Punk: what is the back-end, then?
[16:46] <SEVILLA> flice: did you try the disk usage manager?
[16:46] <flice> SEVILLA: umm? are you talking to me?
[16:46] <yharrow> natsukashi,  copy from the terminal paste the results in pastebin
[16:46] <daftykins> custom coders and decoders *shrug*
[16:46] <daftykins> are you trying to encode to H.264 video under ubuntu?
[16:46] <SEVILLA> flice: yes
[16:46] <flice> daftykins: yes, from dvd
[16:47] <daftykins> download "handbrake"
[16:47] <daftykins> there are .deb packages on the official website
[16:47] <flice> daftykins: ok, I'll check it out, thanks
[16:47] <scunizi_> flice: handbrake.fr
[16:47] <magnetron> flice: oh, from DVD? try ogmrip
[16:47] <salvia> any idea how to build those routes between interfaces?
[16:47] <yharrow> natsukashi, got it?

[16:47] <natsukashi> yharrow: http://pastebin.com/m19924c48
[16:48] <flice> magnetron: what I need is a good gui with all the x264 configuration options

[16:48] <magnetron> flice→ if you literally want ALL options, then you need a command line converter. ffmpeg is excellent.
[16:48] <flice> SEVILLA: what has "disk usage manager" to do with my question?
[16:48] <daftykins> jelly12gen, he's long since gone
[16:48] <Comrade-Sergei> how do you setuop FTP to let only my user get in?
[16:49] <saurabh> i have ubuntu 8.10 and vista as guest on virtual box: how to use the sharde folder:
[16:49] <daftykins> FTP is insecure, you really don't want to use that
[16:49] <scunizi_> saurabh: check in #vbox.. there's some setup to do
[16:49] <daftykins> use SCP instead
[16:49] <flice> magnetron: I guess the options available in avidemux are good enough for me
[16:49] <SEVILLA> flice: yeah i just noticed your talking about something different my bad
[16:49] <lupine_85> Hiya. I've got a system running intrepid and it's not including /dev/md* in the initramfs

[16:50] <saurabh> <scunizii: have made a shared folder but wat is its adderss on vista
[16:50] <flice> magnetron: I have already picked up all the options I need and would like the rest to be set to meaningful defaults. avidemux is great in this, but it's too buggy
[16:50] <scunizi_> saurabh: see previous post
[16:51] <yharrow> natsukashi, type "sudo mkdir /media/windows"

[16:52] <daftykins> Omatic, as in *actually* format one?
[16:52] <funkyHat> Omatic: use gparted (when installed it is in Applications > System Tools > Partition Editor)
[16:52] <natsukashi> Yeah, I think I mistyped the password
[16:52] <natsukashi> trying again~
[16:52] <yharrow> natsukashi, kk

[16:53] <salvia> I'm trying to build route between vlan interface that is on eth interface (eth is <IP_ADDRESS>, the vlan is <IP_ADDRESS>) to the network that is on the eth interface.
[16:53] <funkyHat> Omatic: actually it turns out it's in System > Administration > Partition Editor
[16:53] <hunt577> Hey everyone
[16:53] <Omatic> ok a read-only filesystem, I tried gparted to no avail
[16:54] <Omatic> funkyHat, ^^
[16:54] <mysticdarkhack> hello all
[16:54] <funkyHat> Omatic: is there a switch on the drive?
[16:54] <daftykins> Omatic,  what do you mean read only file system? the USB key is mounted read only?
[16:55] <flice> daftykins: is this repository good? https://launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive/ppa
[16:55] <Omatic> daftykins, exactly
[16:55] <mysticdarkhack> Anyone know is there a way to install kde separetely from gnome with different settings
[16:55] <scunizi_> Omatic: you have to unmount to use gparted and format
[16:55] <daftykins> flice if you are having trouble installing the .deb just ask and i can tell you how to do it
[16:55] <Omatic> funkyHat, how do I tell whether there's a swictch
[16:55] <Pici> mysticdarkhack: What do you mean by different settings?
[16:55] <daftykins> there's no need to use a repo
[16:55] <saurabh> how to use pen drive in virtual box
[16:56] <flice> daftykins: no problem with that, I just like to have everything in repositories, so that I receive updates
[16:56] <funkyHat> Omatic: I mean an actual switch, like you get on an SD card (although that's not an actual switch, but anyway...)
[16:56] <scunizi_> saurabh: if you used the repo to install vbox then you have no usb support.  you need to install the version from their websire
[16:56] <scunizi_> *site
[16:56] <daftykins> flice i really don't think it's a program worth updating
[16:56] <daftykins> but i'm afraid i've no idea on that repo's integrity
[16:57] <saurabh> how to use pen drive in virtual box
[16:57] <daftykins> it's up to you
[16:57] <flice> daftykins: hmm, why? every program has bugs and gets feature updates (if it's maintained)
[16:57] <yharrow> natsukashi, type "ls -d /media/windwos"
[16:57] <yharrow> natsukashi, type "ls -d /media/windows"
[16:57] <yharrow> natsukashi, sorry first had a typo
[16:57] <daftykins> saurabh, i don't think it's easy, if it even supports it properly yet
[16:57] <daftykins> either google a guide or get vmware :P
[16:58] <mysticdarkhack> Pici, what I meant is I'm on gnome desktop right now, so hoping to install kde desktop on the same drive but with different setting
[16:58] <natsukashi> yharrow: Done
[16:58] <scunizi_> daftykins: it's supported only in the version directly from vbox
[16:58] <daftykins> flice just in my experience apps such as that are quite sensitive to upgrading and can be broken easily
[16:58] <mysticdarkhack> Pici, sorry if that doesn't make any since
[16:58] <yharrow> natsukashi, ok what was the feedback?
[16:58] <daftykins> virtualbox rather than virtualbox_ose? ah yes i remember now
[16:58] <maxagaz_> can soomeone suggest me a good touchscreen with good linux support ?
[16:58] <natsukashi> yharrow: /media/windows in bold blue text
[16:58] <Pici> mysticdarkhack: Just install the kubuntu-desktop package
[16:58] <Dreamglider> funkyHat: what will dd print when it's done cloning ?
[16:58] <saurabh> how to use pen drive in virtual box
[16:58] <flice> daftykins: I can agree with that. I wish it was maintained in Ubuntu
[16:59] <venai> mluví tady někdo česky
[16:59] <scunizi_> saurabh: stop.. why are you asking virtual box questions here.. you've been told to /join #vbox
[16:59] <hunt577> I had ubuntu running through virtualbox through Windows Vista on my new HP laptop, but my microphone would not work on it at all.  Tried going in to change settings but none of them worked.  Mic works fine on Windows Vista.  Any suggestions?
[16:59] <daftykins> to be honest not a lot of stuff works as it should in Ubuntu
[16:59] <ADC> Hello everyone. I have ubuntu 8.10 installed. I am using gnome with it. I am currently using xrdp so that I can access the ubuntu server from my vista machine using rdp. Sometimes when i click on something the session crashes. I think its X crashing. Anyone know where I could look to figure out why the session is crashing.
[16:59] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: it will print a line or two about how many MB per seconds it was transferring at and some other stuff, I can't remember exactly what it prints
[16:59] <yubuntu> how do you kill a full screen application
[16:59] <daftykins> hunt577,  why would you want to use a microphone in a virtual machine?
[17:00] <yuri_> magnetron: im not having any luck. i have disconnected my ide devices and tried switching from SATA to AHCI and still get the same error.
[17:00] <Dreamglider> funkyHat: Ok thanks
[17:00] <scunizi_> yubuntu: game?
[17:00] <hunt577> daftykins, I wanted to make sure it would work
[17:00] <yharrow> natsukashi,  "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda0 /media/sda0"
[17:00] <daftykins> yubuntu, in terminal, "ps -ef | grep appname" followed by "kill -9 $processID
[17:00] <hunt577> daftykins, I plan to actually do a dual boot of vista and ubuntu eventually, but virtualbox allows me to test out ubuntu
[17:00] <daftykins> hunt577, virtualisation inserts a *LAYER* between the real hardware and the operating system, there is no way you can test ubuntu works on your PC *natively* by running it under virtualbox
[17:01] <daftykins> it simply doesn't work that way
[17:01] <magnetron> yuri_→ i'm out of ideas. direct your answer to the channel for any further help.
[17:01] <smiles> y would u need to dual boot with windows unless u going to play video games
[17:01] <yubuntu> there was an easier way, someone told me: press alt + F2 and type kill something
[17:01] <daftykins> that's the same thing yubuntu , but you must know the process ID of the app first
[17:01] <yuri_> magnetron: ok. ty for the help
[17:01] <flice> daftykins: I guess that's the price we have to pay for frequent releases
[17:01] <funkyHat> hunt577: run the live CD, if the live CD works it will work installed (also it might work installed if the live CD doesn't work)
[17:01] <hunt577> daftykins, so do you think it would work then if I had the real OS installed?
[17:01] <daftykins> or you can run System -> administration -> system monitor
[17:01] <mysticdarkhack> I wonder if compiz can be enable in virtual desk from vista or xp running ubuntu in vmware or virtualbox
[17:01] <natsukashi> yharrow: ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sda0': No such file or directory
[17:01] <natsukashi> Please type '/sbin/mount.ntfs --help' for more information.
[17:01] <yubuntu> no all i had to do was click on it
[17:01] <hunt577> thanks funkyHat
[17:02] <hunt577> I will do that
[17:02] <daftykins> hunt577, the benefit of ubuntu and Linux in general is the ability to boot the LiveCD and test a lot of stuff - just boot the CD and try it out
[17:02] <yubuntu> the cursor turned into an X
[17:02] <daftykins> mysticdarkhack, no, it requires hardware support for graphics
[17:02] <yharrow> natsukashi,  "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/sda1"
[17:02] <daftykins> virtualisation programs do not allow graphics acceleration
[17:02] <hunt577> I tried the livecd before, didn't test the mic, but I know it doesn't recognize my wireless card so I have to figure a way to get the driver for it....and since I am so new to linux, the tutorials I was reading looked greek to me as far as how to download the driver
[17:02] <daftykins> well, other than maybe vmware fusion on OS X
[17:02] <daftykins> (macs)
[17:02] <smokinjoe> Can anybody tell me how to enable 3D Accelleration?
[17:03] <mysticdarkhack> Daft_Punk, I figure that but would be nice if there a way
[17:03] <ADC> Hello everyone. I have ubuntu 8.10 installed. I am using gnome with it. I am currently using xrdp so that I can access the ubuntu server from my vista machine using rdp. Sometimes when i click on something the session crashes. I think its X crashing. Anyone know where I could look to figure out why the session is crashing.
[17:03] <daftykins> hunt577, what is your wireless device?
[17:03] <yubuntu> daftykins,
[17:03] <smokinjoe> !3d
[17:03] <sznurek_pl> ADC: try /var/log/Xorg.log.0
[17:03] <smokinjoe> !playonlinux
[17:04] <hunt577> daftykins, its an Atheras AR252
[17:04] <daftykins> ah not familiar with atheros hardware i'm afraid
[17:04] <yharrow> natsukashi, failed right?
[17:04] <daftykins> wireless is a tough one even when hardware support works!
[17:04] <hunt577> daftykins, neither is ubuntu lol
[17:04] <yharrow> natsukashi, the second command i gave u
[17:04] <rai> compiz config not working
[17:04] <monreal> how can make dpkg overwrite existing files from a package when re-installing?
[17:04] <natsukashi> yharrow: yes
[17:05] <daftykins> monreal, "man dpkg"
[17:05] <yharrow> natsukashi,  "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /media/sda2"
[17:05] <Dreamglider> smokinjoe: have a look in System -> Administration > Hardware drivers, could be you can activate the 3d drivers from there
[17:05] <yharrow> natsukashi, how many hard drives doyou have
[17:05] <mysticdarkhack> ubuntuguide probably have a setting for atheros
[17:05] <dkerschner> anyone know how to set default file permissions for sftp/scp users? I'm not sure where to stick the umask like
[17:05] <natsukashi> but that's because I added an extra space I believe, I just tried the first one and removed the space between /dev/sda0 /media/sda0
[17:06] <natsukashi> yharrow: I have 2 of them, but only one shows up. And the one that shows up isn't the one with windows
[17:06] <corey> how do i emtpy the temp folder?
[17:06] <yharrow> natsukashi, the second hard drive has windows?
[17:06] <daftykins> corey,  /tmp ? "rm -rf /tmp/* "
[17:06] <natsukashi> yharrow: Yes. My C:/ has windows. But only D:/ is showing up
[17:07] <yuri_> would an IDE cable that is plugged into the mobo but not any devices still try to read something?
[17:07] <yharrow> natsukashi,  "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb0 /media/sda0" try this. don't remove the space between sdb0 and /media
[17:07] <daftykins> yuri_,  no
[17:07] <hunt577> What version of ubuntu would you guys recommend me download?
[17:07] <Dreamglider> hunt577:  8.10 :)
[17:07] <hunt577> the 32 bit version dreamglider?
[17:07] <yharrow> hunt577,  the latest stable version is 8.10
[17:07] <daftykins> there's no such thing as "sda0"
[17:08] <daftykins> you can't have a partition 0 afaik
[17:08] <Dreamglider> hunt577: yes if your system is 32bit
[17:08] <hunt577> thanks yharrow
[17:08] <yharrow> daftykins, thanks for that tip
[17:08] <corey> is it bad to type in terminal "sudo rm -rf /tmp/*
[17:08] <ADC> Hello everyone. I have ubuntu 8.10 installed. I am using gnome with it. I am currently using xrdp so that I can access the ubuntu server from my vista machine using rdp. Sometimes when i click on something the session crashes. I think its X crashing. Anyone know where I could look to figure out why the session is crashing. I have tried looking at /var/log/xorg.0.log but do not really know what I am looking for
[17:08] <daftykins> natsukashi, type "sudo fdisk -l" for a list of devices and partitions
[17:08] <yharrow> daftykins, that was the command i was looknig for >>
[17:08] <corey> is it bad to type in terminal "sudo rm -rf /tmp/*
[17:08] <hunt577> thanks dreamglider
[17:08] <hunt577> and yharrow
[17:09] <yharrow> natsukashi, daftykins  can probably help you better than i can.
[17:09] <daftykins> it's funny, i come here and i feel like i know stuff about Linux again, yet when i try to make it work for me i still get no end of trouble :D
[17:09] <Dreamglider> hunt577: Np
[17:09] <Akkernight> What channel should I join to talk about Game Development and Ubuntu ?
[17:09] <daftykins> anyone ever feel that way?
[17:09] <scunizi_>  corey that will remove everything in the /tmp directory
[17:09] <yharrow> daftykins, all i know is that i thought i knew linux, but i know until i can modify the kernel, i relay dont.
[17:09] <Dreamglider> daftykins: i do :P
[17:09] <daftykins> very true yharrow  :)
[17:10] <daftykins> as soon as i started using genkernel under Gentoo, i knew i wasn't good enough to use Gentoo
[17:10] <natsukashi> daftykins: only one Hard Drive shows up. o:
[17:10] <hunt577> Dreamglider, just sick and tired of Vista using up all my free memory...I literally only have about 10 MB of free memory on a 3 GB RAM computer because Vista caches it all
[17:10] <daftykins> natsukashi, sorry i missed the start, what's the problem?
[17:10] <corey> is it bad to type in terminal "sudo rm -rf /tmp/*
[17:10] <daftykins> lol corey  checks that i'm a good person
[17:10] <LjL> corey: it can be, if programs are holding stuff there.
[17:11] <LjL> corey: why would you do that anyway? it's done automatically on reboot
[17:11] <altrortla> hello... i got a trouble with a GUI ... this form show message form text with lower resolution... I can read what it said... I have also tryied to zoom this form .... and to reduce resolution of the screen... (but no way)
[17:11] <scunizi_> hunt577: linux had good memory management but you may find it also "looks" like it's eating a lot of it
[17:11] <Dreamglider> hunt577: i have never tried Vista, just XP and Ubuntu dualbooting :)
[17:11] <corey> daftykins: you are a stranger after all
[17:11] <altrortla> i have also an image of this problem
[17:11] <daftykins> :D
[17:11] <yharrow> daftykins, he can't boot into windows. windows was not listed in menu.lst, so i started trying to find out what the location of his windows partition is so that we can create the entry.
[17:11] <hunt577> oh ok scunizi_
[17:11] <daftykins> yeah no problem, i'd probably do the same corey
[17:11] <natsukashi> daftykins: I installed Ubuntu, and was thinking that it should dual boot. But it doesn't Only Ubuntu boots. And now one of my Hard Drives doesn't show up. o:
[17:11] <altrortla> this is what i've got .... http://picfront.de/uploaded.php?images=dARGbvmS0sn
[17:11] <levander> Did KVM every get any kind of feature whereby Windows can directly access the video card for hardware accelerated DirectX and OpenGL?
[17:11] <UncleD> I heard a guy had a mac system with windows in a virtual window. Can I lead ubuntu inside a virtual window?
[17:11] <hunt577> I just hope everything works this time and I don't run into wireless problems or problems with my mic not working
[17:11] <daftykins> ouch, failed multi-boot installs - painful
[17:12] <altrortla> on the right i have zoomed with kmag ... but the result is the same .... what should i do?
[17:12] <corey> daftykins: after all you could be  a 12yr old girl who wants to rape me
[17:12] <daftykins> double the age and you're close
[17:12] <daftykins> :D
[17:12] <yharrow> daftykins, here is his menu.lst. http://pastebin.com/m35385256 and here is his mtab http://pastebin.com/m19924c48
[17:12] <LjL> corey, daftykins gave you the correct answer to your question on how to empty /tmp. whether doing that can be a bad thing is an entirely different matter
[17:12] <Dreamglider> hunt577: ubuntu is using 300Mb of my 2gb so i'd say it's better than vista ;)
[17:12] <natsukashi> I would love to be raped by a 12 year old whom runs knows Linux, it would be pretty awesome.
[17:12] <daftykins> lol
[17:12] <Pici> Ahem.
[17:12] <lupine_85> OK, to be more precise - /dev/md* isn't created by default (despite udev being installed). If I mdadm --assemble manually in the initramfs then exit, it boots fine
[17:12] <daftykins> bit older maybe and i'd agree
[17:12] <lupine_85> what am I missing?
[17:12] <hunt577> lol Dramglider
[17:12] <Pimp> what??~

[17:15] <yharrow> levander, agreed
[17:15] <reyalp> In 8.10, I use the Darklooks theme & it looks/works great, but when i reboot the theme seems to reset to a very plain theme. I have to select another theme, then Darklooks again. Any thoughts on this?

[17:15] <natsukashi> yharrow: Yeah, thanks for trying to help me! :D
[17:15] <yharrow> natsukashi, np man :)

[17:21] <daftykins> buckethed, yes, you can install a VNC viewer and connect to the IP address of the ubuntu machine
[17:21] <digitalninja> I'm trying to recover data from an SD card. dmesg shows IO errors and the card never gets mounted. Is there a way I can access the card using "dd"?

[17:22] <buckethed> thanks daftykins
[17:22] <archman> Anyone using Skype on intrepid? Any reps?
[17:23] <Wayder> are you attempting to automount the SD card? =S
[17:23] <n2diy> is there a way to edit hidden files with gedit
[17:23] <daftykins> buckethed, once you turn on remote desktop, you'll need to connect using IP address:0 to say port number zero
[17:23] <daftykins> gedit should be able to edit hidden files fine
[17:23] <uniq_stitch> n2diy, yes
[17:23] <uniq_stitch> gedit /home/name/filename
[17:24] <Wayder> daftykins, that will depend on if the computer in question is not behind a firewall, if it is behind a firewall were vnc is actively being blocked you will have to configure a reverse ssh tunnel
[17:24] <uniq_stitch> n2diy, nano is cooler :D
[17:24] <n2diy> uniq_stitch, ok, thanks.
[17:24] <Wayder> nano ftw!
[17:24] <uniq_stitch> ftw ?

[17:28] <daftykins> then you'll know what it supports
[17:28] <Wayder> let me check my config for a second
[17:28] <daftykins> Ubuntu 64-bit (amd64) will no doubt not support SLI with the default driver
[17:28] <yubuntu> could anyone tell me how to kill a fullscreen game with your mouse?
[17:29] <Wayder> /etc/network/interfaces
[17:29] <yubuntu> there's something stopping my mouse from getting into the Nexuiz game, could anyone help?
[17:30] <yubuntu> my cursor rather

[17:30] <gldtn> hey I ran into something on the internet and it's kind of funny to me because I did not get it what it has to do with Linux.. it's a router : http://linksysbycisco.com/US/en/products/WRT54GL have anyone seen this?
[17:30] <danopia> hi
[17:30] <Wayder> guiri, /etc/network/interfaces check that out, and there is an associated manual for the configuration of the file.
[17:30] <Akkernight> I'm on the nvidia homepage, I can't see anything that has anything to do with Linux or Ubuntu
[17:31] <Dark_Fire> Hello guys
[17:31] <Wayder> howdy
[17:31] <eddie1> hi
[17:31] <Wayder> http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[17:31] <QaDeS> lol
[17:31] <Dark_Fire> hey Wayder, wats up?
[17:31] <gldtn> Akkernight, what are you trying to do?
[17:31] <Akkernight> See if Ubuntu supports SLI
[17:32] <QaDeS> gldtn: i think they're just being stupid
[17:32] <Wayder> workin lol. or hardly workin =)
[17:32] <daftykins> Akkernight,  you have to browse websites yourself, they can't read our minds yet fortunately ;)
[17:32] <QaDeS> never herad of an operating system specific router (i.e. piece of network hardware)
[17:32] <daftykins> </marilyn manson on family guy> ;)
[17:32] <Akkernight> Linux AMD64/EM64T how do I see if I use AMD64 xP
[17:33] <Wayder> I have never heard of a OS spec router
[17:33] <misblay> i'm having ntrld is missing error from my xp after grub installation
[17:33] <misblay> why is this?
[17:33] <gldtn> QaDeS, yeah I didn't expect that from cisco lol.. plus they don't even describe why its called a linux router
[17:33] <daftykins> 64-bit XP would say so in the system properties
[17:33] <daftykins> ntldr misblay , sounds like your windows bootloader has broken
[17:33] <Akkernight> I think I installed Ubuntu for AMD64, but I have Pentium if I remember right, is it possible to download Ubuntu for specific processors?
[17:33] <yubuntu> could anyone please help me with getting NEXUIZ to work with ubuntu
[17:33] <QaDeS> weöö, the router's software is based on linux
[17:33] <Guiri> Wayder: seems to be a MODE setting. Maybe I'll try MODE full and see if ti boots :-)
[17:33] <misblay> daftykins, but i havent done anything
[17:33] <QaDeS> like on about all serious routers
[17:33] <daftykins> Akkernight,  AMD64 means 64-bit, not AMD only
[17:33] <namai> help me :(
[17:33] <misblay> just installed xp and then setup grub on ubuntu
[17:33] <misblay> what should i do?
[17:33] <daftykins> misblay, did you install ubuntu, ubuntu works but that's what you get told if you try and boot Windows?
[17:33] <JPohlmann> Hey guys. I'm installing Jaunty on my brother's laptop right now. Does anyone know how I can reconfigure X to use the fglrx driver?
[17:33] <Akkernight> ahh.. I see ÐÐ
[17:33] <namai> wery wery help
[17:33] <Akkernight> ^^*
[17:33] <Wayder> lol. linux router? it is most likely that the software it runs off is based OFF linux =)
[17:34] <rdw200169> yah, the only reason they call it amd64 is b/c amd came out w/it first
[17:34] <Wayder> guiri, make the changes in the config file and restart the daemon (:
[17:34] <daftykins> JPohlmann, i have read that jaunty uses a new X.Org which doesn't support nvidia or fglrx drivers right now
[17:34] <namai> I have 1 bug with mouse
[17:34] <JPohlmann> daftykins: Seriously?
[17:34] <daftykins> yes
[17:34] <gldtn> Wayder, they should've specified more in their page
[17:34] <buckethed> i ran "sudo chroot /mnt"  how do i get to another users home directory?  ex. /home/ubuntu
[17:34] <Akkernight> Pidgin is horrible, how do I connect to MSN?
[17:34] <JPohlmann> Uh. So, can I get GLX working with the open source drivers for ATI?
[17:35] <SonhadorPR> greeting from Puerto Rico, to all Ubunteros!!
[17:35] <daftykins> i could have old information though, google to check
[17:35] <misblay> daftykins, i've installed windows on my pc "after" ubuntu.. then as you know i have to setup GRUB again, so i did.. now i cant boot xp, it says "ntrld is missing" ok?
[17:35] <daftykins> Akkernight,  i use "emesene"
[17:35] <daftykins> oic
[17:35] <daftykins> misblay, pastebin.com your /boot/grub/menu.lst file
[17:35] <namai> mouse is strange
[17:35] <urnumdei> I'm having problems accessing a device through usb on 8.10.  Can anyone help?
[17:35] <Akkernight> can't find emesene on Add/Remove
[17:35] <blistov1> how do i install a 2.6.28 kernel in ubuntu... the ubuntu way?
[17:35] <gldtn> daftykins, do you have a link for that jaunty article? I would like to follow that closely since I have nvidia
[17:35] <SEVILLA> SonhadorPR: capasa
[17:35] <nado> hi there
[17:36] <yubuntu> could someone PLEASE tell me how to kill a full screen game with your mouse?
[17:36] <urnumdei> I'm having problems accessing a device through usb on 8.10.  Can anyone help?
[17:36] <daftykins> the article saying jaunty doesn't support fglrx and nvidia something or other?
[17:36] <Wayder> ... throw the mouse at your motherboard?
[17:36] <misblay> daftykins, http://pastebin.com/m48f07ce7
[17:36] <misblay> btw, as i set up grub, it didnt recognize that installed xp, and i've added the xp lines manually..
[17:36] <namai> :(
[17:36] <Akkernight> ok, found aMSN and Emesene, which one is better?
[17:36] <SonhadorPR> Quick question: which app does anyone recomend for ripping Music CDs in different formats? For some reason Kaffeine is only ripping in OGG, I have an Cell phone/MP3 player that wont play OGG
[17:36] <misblay> daftykins, and my xp is installed on sda4
[17:36] <nado> i'd like to use some of my favorite kde apps under gnome. will loading the qt libs cause any serious performance issues?
[17:37] <Pici> nado: Nope, it will be fine.
[17:37] <gldtn> daftykins, yes.. also I just seen on their page that there lastest version is 1.80, I use 1.77 how can I get 1.80 to install?
[17:37] <daftykins> under ubuntu you don't install nvidia's own drivers from their website really, gldtn
[17:37] <scunizi_> SonhadorPR: try ripperx.. it's in the repos
[17:37] <nado> Pici: great, thanks
[17:38] <vineeth> hi
[17:38] <daftykins> misblay, that config looks ok, it must be correct to say (hd0,3) otherwise you probably wouldn't get as far as the ntldr error
[17:38] <daftykins> but i'm really not sure what's making it fail
[17:38] <yubuntu> could someone PLEASE tell me how to kill a full screen game with your mouse?
[17:38] <misblay> ok then, thanks..
[17:38] <Flipper> hi
[17:38] <gldtn> daftykins, oh i see
[17:38] <misblay> i'll reinstall xp
[17:38] <daftykins> misblay,  did you disconnect your ubuntu disk when you installed XP?
[17:38] <urnumdei> I'm having problems accessing a device through usb on 8.10.  Can anyone help?
[17:38] <Flipper> i have a ubuntu 64 bit and i find no flash player do you have an answer
[17:38] <Flipper> pls
[17:39] <scunizi_> daftykins: sda3.. isn't that (hd0,2) since grub starts counting at 0?
[17:39] <magnetron> !flash64 | Flipper
[17:39] <SonhadorPR> scunizi_: Thank you...I shall try that one.
[17:39] <buckethed> how do i get to another users home directory after doing chroot?  ex. /home/ubuntu
[17:39] <Akkernight> Nvidia Geforce 9800GT is supported by Ubuntu, right?
[17:39] <vineeth> i upgraded my linux kernol now both version shows in boot how can i delete older version from boot loader
[17:39] <daftykins> Scunizi, i've no idea about GRUB to be honest
[17:39] <daftykins> feel free to suggest that to him
[17:39] <Flipper> is thath for ubuntu 8.10 64 bit
[17:39] <n2diy> my roommate is trying to duel boot his XP box, and he is at the import settings page, and regardless of what he selects, or doesn't select, he can't access the forward button, his only option is to cancel, what gives?
[17:40] <scunizi_> daftykins: too late.. looks like he's gone
[17:40] <Flipper> thx for the support iam gonne try it
[17:40] <andre_pl> Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience tying into ubuntu's new notification system (as of jaunty) is the api the same as before? I used to be abelt o use a python script to pop up messages.
[17:40] <vineeth> helooo
[17:42] <Pici> andre_pl: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion.
[17:42] <vineeth> pls help me to delete older version from grub
[17:42] <Sisqdave> Hi all, I am wondering if anybody has come across boot issues and the folder /dev/by-uuid missing completely?
[17:42] <Sisqdave> sure vineeth
[17:42] <daftykins> vineeth,  older version of ubuntu?
[17:43] <vineeth> no older version of linux kernol
[17:43] <daftykins> isn't /dev a dynamic directory created by udev? so it's not really data?
[17:43] <scunizi_> Sisqdave: might be that there is a listing in fstab that either doesn't have a uuid number or the wrong one.. you can get the right numbers with sudo blkid and compare them to what's in fstab
[17:43] <daftykins> ah ok sure vineeth, what is the contents of your /boot directory?
[17:43] <dkerschner> brandon: /part
[17:43] <dkerschner> ..
[17:43] <dkerschner> whoops
[17:45] <n2diy> my roommate is trying to duel boot his XP box, and he is at the migrate settings page, and regardless of what he selects, or doesn't select, he can't access the forward button, his only option is to cancel, what gives?
[17:45] <daftykins> ah i think i've heard of that as being a bug
[17:45] <Akkernight> what application should I use to open .run files? I downloaded this file from nvidia.com
[17:46] <regac> #ubuntu
[17:46] <daftykins> Akkernight, did it say it supports SLI or no?
[17:46] <Akkernight> I dunno, didn't read it xP
[17:46] <daftykins> tbh even if ubuntu does support SLI, what are you going to try and run? :D
[17:46] <Akkernight> if it doesn't there ain't anything I can do
[17:46] <evantandersen> is there a list of ubottu commands for IRC?
[17:46] <Akkernight> And I don't really need SLI, since I won't be running games on Ubuntu xP
[17:47] <daftykins> i would suggest you don't try and install the driver, it's not likely worth your time trying to get SLI working
[17:47] <scunizi_> Akkernight: are you trying to install a nvidia driver?
[17:47] <daftykins> yeah exactly
[17:47] <Akkernight> yup
[17:47] <daftykins> i don't think it's worth him bothering Scunizi
[17:47] <daftykins> * scunizi_
[17:47] <Akkernight> Ubuntu doesn't find it on the hardware manager or whatever it was
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> !commands
[17:48] <Sisqdave> Hi all, I am wondering if anybody has come across boot issues and the folder /dev/by-uuid missing completely? I have had to change my disk UUID to /dev/sda4 in my menu.lst file
[17:48] <scunizi_> Akkernight: you mean there's nothing listed in hardware manager or you don't like what's presented there?
[17:48] <genis3ll> Can someone recommend me a good ubuntu irc client? Thanks
[17:48] <daftykins> genis3ll, tried xchat ?
[17:49] <imfluxible> i installed ub 8.10 on my friends emachines T3646, and seem to be getting lots of misbehaviors i wonder if anyone can help me troubleshoot.  they apparently play a lot of board games online at pogo.com, so if anyone has any experience using that site maybe you will relate.  to enable the games we had to install a java 6 alternative, which i think i did correctly yesterday from community doc...
[17:49] <scunizi_> genis3ll: xchat, irssi
[17:49] <daftykins> ugly but does the job
[17:49] <Sisqdave> this works but it gives me errors at boot
[17:49] <imfluxible> ...instructions.  the games did work yesterday as they were supposed to, but today when she booted up she had several problems... the games wouldn't work, her gnome panel (with applications, places, and system) would not appear persistently (it dissappears), and she says the browser freezes up.  also the window bars do not appear on her windows so cannot move , resize or 'X' out .... any ideas?
[17:49] <imfluxible> also she says many things on her aol mail interface would not function, various buttons
[17:49] <Kelen> i installed a theme packages, but couldn't find it in theme's list. any one could help me?
[17:49] <genis3ll> scunizi_: No, thanks
[17:49] <ironfoot_495> Hello I need to know how to start all over and install localhost and apache mysql  all over.
[17:49] <Akkernight> scumizi_ the newest version of the Nvidia driver ain't shown in the Hardware Drivers thing
[17:49] <daftykins> sounds like you enabled desktop effects imfluxible  ?
[17:50] <Flipper> maybe its a stupid question but i want to set the file for flash in the folder ande ubuntu sai iam not the owner of the computer do you know a way to give ma all the rights
[17:50] <ironfoot_495> what is the easiest way?
[17:50] <genis3ll> Thanks
[17:50] <scunizi_> Akkernight: of course not.. it's not stable.. and there are issues with 180.35 so I wouldn't go there.. have you tried the ones in hardware manager and do they work for you?  if so stick with them.
[17:50] <daftykins> Flipper, what do you mean "flash in a folder" ?
[17:51] <Akkernight> I think the ones in Hardware Drivers worked, dunno really, but I'm going AFK now!
[17:51] <daftykins> i'm running the nvidia 177 drivers from the "Hardware Drivers" section on an nvidia 8800GT with 2 x 1920x1200 LCD's over DVI @ once
[17:51] <daftykins> works ok
[17:51] <Flipper> the plugin for flash player i want to copy to usr/mozilla/plugins i donth have the right he sais iam not the owner
[17:51] <daftykins> *strokes compiz* ;)
[17:51] <Flipper> sorry my english is not so good iam from belguim
[17:52] <Xanax09>  try it in the terminal with the sudo command ?
[17:52] <daftykins> "sudo ln -s /flash/plugin /destination/folder"
[17:52] <scunizi_> daftykins: you're lucky.. my 8200 card and chipset work acceptable only on 180.29 so far. 177 was like walking through molassis
[17:52] <daftykins> (symbolic link, you don't need to copy the file)
[17:52] <gotcha> what's the difference between ln -s and cp?
[17:52] <daftykins> gotcha,  "ln -s" creates a sort of shortcut
[17:52] <daftykins> it's called a symbolic link
[17:52] <daftykins> it's kind of link shortcuts in Windows, but not really
[17:52] <gotcha> so u dont really copy it there?
[17:52] <nibbler> gotcha: one makes a symbolic link, this need so space on disk. other makes a copy
[17:53] <daftykins> nope, you just let it 'appear' in the destination folder
[17:53] <nibbler> so=no
[17:53] <gotcha> ah kay, and when the file gets deletet
[17:53] <gotcha> the original
[17:53] <gotcha> the symbolic link doesnt work anymore?
[17:53] <nibbler> the link gets dead
[17:53] <daftykins> Flipper, are you running 32-bit? you really shouldn't have needed to do the plugin manually, if this is for firefox
[17:53] <gotcha> ah, kay, thx
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> gotcha: if you delete the file, you will have a broken symlink
[17:54] <Flipper> is thath in the archiver or in the terminal window
[17:54] <daftykins> there's a third one too isn't there? hard links or something
[17:54] <daftykins> which makes a copy, and if ever you update one, it updates the other?
[17:54] <daftykins> no idea how to make one though ^_^
[17:54] <Akkernight> How do I download GCC? I remember using something else than Add/Remove when I did it back in the day...
[17:55] <Sisqdave> this works but it gives me errors at boot
[17:55] <Sisqdave> Hi all, I am wondering if anybody has come across boot issues and the folder /dev/by-uuid missing completely? I have had to change my disk UUID to /dev/sda4 in my menu.lst file
[17:55] <nado> can somebody tell me if there's a default shortcut for windows+c? i want to bind it to amarok, but it does not respond
[17:55] <daftykins> Akkernight, seriously, i recommend you stop trying to install that nvidia driver
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> daftykins: yes hard links but if you delete the file i think the link gets removed but they take up equal space to that which is linked
[17:55] <Akkernight> I'm not trying to install the driver o.O I'm trying to start programming xP
[17:55] <daftykins> indeed
[17:55] <daftykins> lol
[17:55] <daftykins> there's no need to lie?
[17:55] <daftykins> i just don't know why you're bothering
[17:56] <daftykins> i won't help someone that ignores my advice and wastes their time and mine
[17:56] <daftykins> Sisqdave, i don't really see any problem in referring to a disk by that instead of UUID, just carry on as-is ?
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> Akkernight: if you want to compile, install build-essential
[17:57] <Akkernight> Where did I get it? Some download manager?
[17:58] <daftykins> open terminal
[17:58] <daftykins> "sudo apt-get install build-essential" :P
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> Akkernight: what daftykins said
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> Akkernight: you will then be ready to code in C and C++
[17:59] <daftykins> if he were doing that ;)
[17:59] <yuri_> i think im dealing with a damaged sata drive.
[18:00] <Akkernight> ok, awsome ^^
[18:00] <daftykins> actually mind you, step #1 of nvidia driver install = stop X, so maybe he really is learning C :D
[18:00] <andreaja> You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.28-8-server (i686) first. <- how do I do that?
[18:00] <Kriss3d> hmm anyone know why wow with wine in ubuntu isnt nearly as good graphics as when i run in windows ?
[18:00] <jorge__> Hi guys,  anyone around knows or use virtual DJ software?
[18:00] <Akkernight> daftykins you talking about me?
[18:00] <daftykins> Kriss3d,  because WINE doesn't support the latest DirectX version
[18:00]  * Python1320 Now playing: 10d03.mp3 (2:17 - 5271 frames) [44100 hz,96 kbps,stereo]
[18:00] <daftykins> so it doesn't have all the latest graphical features
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> jorge__: like frooty loops?
[18:00] <daftykins> nah nobody Akkernight  ^_^
[18:01] <jelly12gen> daftykins: wine is just running after windows
[18:01] <jorge__> something like that bro, but this one is dj virtual pro.
[18:01] <Akkernight> Well, I'm used to coding C++ xP Now imma make a OpenGL Game Engine with my team ;)
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> Kriss3d: make sure you have the latest drivers and wine from the wine repos
[18:01] <yuri_> i think im dealing with a damaged sata drive. it will not let me boot up any nix unless I disconect it. it registers in bios but tells me its too slow to respond when i boot up. what do you guys think it is, the drive, sata cable, power cable, mobo(unlikely, i have an identical hdd that works fine)
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> Kriss3d: you need to patch wine to get it really nice
[18:01] <admin_masu3701> dont know what happen but i cant run sudo apt-get update or install or anything that required root password
[18:01] <daftykins> jelly12gen, i'm not sure what you're trying to tell me?
[18:01] <jorge__> I would like to know how to install it on my laptop who got ubuntu?
[18:01] <admin_masu3701> it tells me that my username is not in the sudoers file
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> jorge__: theres lmms
[18:02] <teneb> hi there, i need some help configuring eth0 with an ip and samba sharing for a cnc linux machine

[18:03] <teneb> not enough experience to find out why eth0 doesnt ping out
[18:03] <teneb> doesnt seem to like my config i think
