[09:41] <sky_1> hi
[09:41] <fccf> !hi | sky_1
[09:41] <sky_1> which program can work and edit Microsoft Acces 2003 database ?
[09:42] <fccf> sky_1: openoffice base will open those files .. you may have to fix some functionality though
[09:42] <nixiepixel> sky_1 openoffice can handle it
[09:42] <sky_1> and how is called in openoffice ?
[09:42] <scizzo-> sydneyguy: I believe you should be a little more specific
[09:43] <barf> I had the following bugs filed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/385852 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/385851
[09:43] <fccf> sky_1: open it in openoffice ... openoffice will recoginse the file
[09:43] <sky_1> ok
[09:44] <sky_1> doesnt work
[09:44] <sky_1> it open in Writer
[09:44] <fccf> sky_1: anything on the writer screen?
[09:45] <sky_1> no
[09:45] <sky_1> just some words
[09:45] <scizzo-> sky_1: http://www.openoffice.org/FAQs/ms-access/ms-access.html
[09:45] <sky_1> many thanks
[09:46] <fccf> scizzo: ty
[09:46] <scizzo-> thats old however it should work still
[09:46] <scizzo-> or give hints to how to work with the files
[09:46] <lo1270> is there a flag to cp that do not over wright but creates a new file?
[09:46] <scizzo-> fccf: thanks for what?
[09:46] <sky_1> scizzo-: theres only guide for windows
[09:47] <lo1270> like cp file backup; will keep making new files, backup1 backup2 etc
[09:47] <scizzo-> sky_1: openoffice should work pretty much the same way in both windows and linux
[09:47] <fccf> scizzo: your continuing support, I learn things too that way
[09:47] <ShockF> fccf still doesnt work =/
[09:48] <sky_1> scizzo-: bah cant
[09:49] <fccf> ShockF: arg, I have used ntfs-3g so many times .. I am confused as to why it is not working for you...
[09:49] <scizzo-> sky_1: did you even try to google a little for it?
[09:50] <ShockF> fccf you said a blue screen at startuo i never get a blue screen
[09:50] <sky_1> no ^^
[09:50] <scizzo-> sky_1: I find loads of tries to import those kind of files
[09:50] <fccf> ShockF: then chkdsk did not run
[09:50] <sky_1> yea
[09:50] <scizzo-> sky_1: search for: openoffice linux access 2003 database
[09:50] <fccf> ShockF: Vista or XP?
[09:51] <ShockF> it did run i saw it but its on a black screen
[09:51] <scizzo-> sky_1: really should have a look at what others have tried and try yourself
[09:51] <ShockF> Vista
[09:51] <fccf> ShockF: I am used to seeing it run on a blue screen I guess
[09:51] <ShockF> oh
[09:51] <fccf> ShockF: cant stand vista
[09:51] <ShockF> me neither but i have to keep it
[09:52] <fccf> ShockF: do you just need to get data back and forth
[09:52] <scizzo-> ShockF: what is the problem?
[09:52] <scizzo-> ShockF: or what are you trying to do?
[09:52] <ShockF> yeh pretty much and listen to music and videos when im not on the vista side
[09:53] <mateusz> siemka
[09:53] <fccf> scizzo: ShockF is trying to mount his vista partition in ubuntu ... ran chkdsk /f - ubuntu still wont mount
[09:53] <scizzo-> ShockF: can you pastebin a few things?
[09:54] <ShockF> sure what u need
[09:54] <scizzo-> ShockF: hmmm wait what have you tried to do so far?
[09:54] <nixiepixel> ShockF - do you have encryption set on your NTFS drive?
[09:54] <ShockF> ive tried using terminal and ntfs-3g to mount it and also pysdm
[09:54] <nixiepixel> *partition
[09:54] <fccf> nixiepixel: good point ... I hadn't thought of that
[09:54] <ShockF> nixie not that im aware of
[09:55] <scizzo-> ShockF: right...so you know what disc the partition for ntfs is on?
[09:55] <ShockF> yh
[09:55] <fubaz> i want to reinstall unbuntu 9.04 a a disk that dual boots with winxp.  How do I best get rid of the last ubuntu installation.  Just delete the linux partitions?
[09:55] <n0mic> anyone know what ati card i should buy to run dual head?
[09:55] <n0mic> ~
ya an nvidia one :P
[09:56] <ziroday> n0mic: any recent R600 or R700 one should do
[09:56] <koshari> fubaz just reuse the partition and format it and mount it as /
[09:56] <indus> fubaz: just install new ubuntu over it
[09:56] <n0mic> why should i buy nvidia insmod
[09:56] <n0mic> i have used an agp ati card to run current dual head but want to not use agp
[09:56] <koshari> n0mic because ati drivers are crap atm
[09:56] <indus> fubaz: or use live cd and format it /delete it whatever
[09:56] <scizzo-> ShockF: ok....mounting ntfs partitions can be a pain
[09:56] <fubaz> the thing is that partition is too small i want to use less for winxp
[09:57] <n0mic> #i stand a better chance of getting dual head working with nvidia?
[09:57] <fccf> fubaz: shrink xp
[09:57] <Makuseru> Hi, I'm having a problem. Before I upgraded to 9.04 from 8.04 when ever i plugged my mp3 player into its dock and turned it on it would show up on my desktop as a removable drive(like a thumb drive) But now that ive upgraded, when ever i plug it into its dock it never gets recognized. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[09:57] <ShockF> scizzo i can see but when i mounted the system and recovery partitions they mounted fine
[09:57] <ziroday> n0mic: here is the list of supported radeon cards against the new radeonhd driver, that works great http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd/plain/README
[09:57] <indus> fubaz: delete it then from live cd and create new partitions etc
 better propriatary driver support -- the linux ones are ok the manufac.. ones are better and nvidia has full support
[09:57] <n0mic> for dual head ziroday?
[09:57] <ziroday> n0mic: yes they support dualhead, just make sure the card does
[09:57] <n0mic> ok ty dudes
[09:58] <n0mic> thats a divx and an analogue port on it ziroday?
[09:58] <myself> anyone know the name of that foobar off topic channel
[09:58] <ziroday> n0mic: err what? Do you mean DVI and VGA port?
[09:58] <myself> something about a grill
[09:58] <fccf> !ot
[09:58] <scizzo-> ShockF: you could try the tool ntfs-config
[09:58] <ziroday> myself: #freenode, we aren't a channel list
[09:59] <scizzo-> ShockF: and see if that can help you with mounting the partition
[09:59] <myself> theres one on this network!!
[09:59] <scizzo-> ShockF: its a gui for the mounting
[09:59] <n0mic> digital and analog ziroday i don'#t know what the portws are called currently on my ati card (agp) i have digital and analog port off it
[09:59] <ShockF> tryed it
[09:59] <nixiepixel> ShockF - did you post your fdisk output above?
[09:59] <ShockF> nope want me to
[09:59] <ziroday> n0mic: okay, all you need to get is two ports. Usually the cards come with two DVI ports, or a DVI and HDMI port
[10:00] <skyl> how's the ffmpeg in the jaunty pacjage manager?
[10:00] <nixiepixel> ShockF - it couldn't hurt to see what fdisk sees (I guess you would use paste.ubuntu.com ?)
[10:01] <skyl> should one still compile ffmpeg from source to be able to have any hope of it working?
[10:01] <ziroday> skyl: the ffmpeg from the package manager is fine
[10:02] <skyl> okay, I'll give it a shot then
[10:02] <ShockF> nixie http://paste.ubuntu.com/193325/plain/
[10:03] <nixiepixel> ShockF - thanks, is /dev/sda3 the drive you are trying to mount?
[10:03] <ShockF> yup
[10:04] <n0mic> im considering an ati radeon hd 3450 256mb ddr2 pci-e dvi tv out oem £25 for dual head is that a good choice?
[10:04] <nixiepixel> *partition, sorry!
[10:04] <ShockF> yh thts right /dev/sda3 is what i after
[10:05] <nixiepixel> ShockF - sorry, I wasn't around before, what is the error message you get when you try to mount it?
[10:05] <ShockF> 1 sec
[10:06] <chalcedony> how can i find the path to a file ?
[10:06] <whatvn> locate filename
[10:06] <MementoMori> hi
[10:07] <ShockF> http://paste.ubuntu.com/193328/plain/ here you are nixie
[10:07] <darkest_night> hi @ all, does any1 know how to install aptana?
[10:07] <whatvn> !aptana
[10:07] <whatvn> :D
[10:07] <darkest_night> ...
[10:07] <nixiepixel> ShockF - is this partition part of a RAID array?
[10:07] <MementoMori> i'm using jaunty. is it possible printing only selected text of a document? I can't find this option in printing option...
[10:08] <ShockF> nixie tbh ive absolutely no idea how would i check
[10:08] <nixiepixel> ShockF - Is this your PC? Do you have the specs for it, if not? It would help to know how it was partitioned.
[10:09] <Machtin> hi! does anyone know whether unrar supports multicore?
[10:09] <nixiepixel> ShockF - also, is this an external or internal drive?
[10:10] <ShockF>  nixie yes this is my pc  no i dont have the specs for it hoever it is a Advent 5311 and its an internal drive
[10:11] <nixiepixel> ShockF - what is the command you are using to mount it?
[10:11] <chazco> Hi... anyone here know how to fix evtouch crashes?
[10:11] <[nrx]> 33
[10:11] <[nrx]> 3
[10:11] <[nrx]> oops
[10:11] <[nrx]> sorry :)
[10:12] <ShockF> well im using pysdm atm but i can try the terminal command if u give it me
[10:13] <[nrx]> clear
[10:13] <XCP> hi. I created an application launcher and entered as the command "command parameter" ... now, is there a way to change the current working directory to a specific directory before invoking command? I know it's possible with a script, but is it also possible with a desktop app launcher?
[10:13] <[nrx]> can anyone help with this error in kern.log - Jun 11 10:09:38 oogabooga kernel: [  999.321257] phy0: failed to set freq to 5820 MHz for scan
[10:13] <[nrx]> seems I suddenly can't connect to wireless networks
[10:13] <nixiepixel> ShockF - ok, I'm a newbie at this, but you'll need to create a directory (like /mnt/ntfs) and give it permissions, then it should be something like mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /mnt/ntfs
[10:13] <ShockF> kk
[10:13] <XCP> [nrx]: guessing blindly, but maybe this is of any help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1156209
[10:14] <XCP> [nrx]: also: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22+failed+to+set+freq+to%22&aq=f&oq=&aqi=
[10:14] <nixiepixel> ShockF - are you running Ubuntu (gnome)? Just for my info. And I think you'll want to do something like sudo mkdir /mnt/ntfs then sudo chmod 775 /mnt/ntfs
[10:14] <nixiepixel> before you try to mount to it
[10:15] <ShockF> kk
[10:15] <[nrx]> XCP, yeah I should have hit google first. I'm just puzzled why it should only suddenly start happening when I haven't been having a problem beforehand.
[10:15] <ShockF> and yh im runnin ubuntu
[10:16] <XCP> [nrx]: a computer and all its components are VERY complex. and although you may not actively change something, a lot of things happen in the background. this can be the hardware's fault, Ubuntu's fault, any other component's fault.
[10:17] <[nrx]> XCP, indeed.
[10:17] <nixiepixel> ShockF - FYI I think many laptop distributors will create a small recovery partition along with your main partition, but I'm not sure what your third one is...perhaps Vista is on the second (boot) partition, then a data partition is /dev/sda3?
[10:19] <ShockF>  ok sda1 is the recovery partition sda2 is the sytem partiton where i assume all the major settings are kept and sda3 is my vista partition
[10:20] <nixiepixel> Sure, let us know how the mount command went (you'll need to add sudo to it as well, unless you're running the terminal session as root)
[10:20] <ShockF> also i think it could be setup as a raid bewteen sad 1,2,3 because theyre all linked for example if something goes wrong the recovery menu pops up
[10:20] <ShockF> how do i crete the folder /mnt/ntfs
[10:20] <nixiepixel> ShockF - I don't think that would be the case, but I could be wrong, like I said I'm a newbie!
[10:20] <nixiepixel> ShockF - sudo mkdir /mnt/ntfs
[10:21] <nixiepixel> then sudo chmod 755 /mnt/ntfs
[10:22] <ShockF> ok done that now what
[10:24] <nixiepixel> ShockF sudo  mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /mnt/ntfs
[10:24] <ShockF> k
[10:24] <nixiepixel> Oops, extra space in there, it will probably mess up the command
[10:24] <Boohbah> nixiepixel: nope the space won't hurt
[10:25] <ShockF> ok i think its done it where would i go now to find it
[10:25] <genelisp> hi, I have Gutsy Gibbon, my sources.list no longer works - http://dpaste.com/54044/ - where can I find a new one?
[10:25] <hoo-hah> hi guys. I'm looaking into using pinning (unstable on testing.) There appears to be quite a few guides on how to do so, but each vary on the contents of /etc/apt/preferences
[10:25] <hoo-hah> I've settled on http://pastebin.com/f255b58fa
[10:25] <XCP> hi. I created an application launcher and entered as the command "command parameter" ... now, is there a way to change the current working directory to a specific directory before invoking command? I know it's possible with a script, but is it also possible with a desktop app launcher?
[10:25] <hoo-hah> which gives me a bit of safety in that I have to explicitly install packages/unstable
[10:25] <largi> #ubuntu.pl
[10:26] <ShockF> nope didnt work
[10:26] <hoo-hah> My question is, will safe-upgrade or dist-upgrade still operate on unstable packages?
[10:26] <hoo-hah> oops. wrong channel ;)
[10:26] <nixiepixel> ShockF - you would cd /mnt/ntfs
[10:26] <hoo-hah> disregard that
[10:27] <nixiepixel> Did you get an error message?
[10:27] <Boohbah> genelisp: http://tuxicity.wordpress.com/sourceslist-for-gutsy-gibbon/
[10:28] <wtl> how do I make the gksu window "windowed" and not gray out the background? :) I remember setting that option before
[10:28] <ShockF> nixie so i type cd /mnt/ntfs in terminal
[10:29] <Boohbah> genelisp: but your sources.list looks like it should work
[10:29] <zith__> in my infinite stupidity i deleted all the rc to, and /etc/init.d/ntp itself
[10:29] <chalcedony> does anyone do sed or awk coding?
[10:29] <hoo-hah> Boohbah: how long have you had that nick?
[10:29] <Boohbah> zith__: sudo update-rc.d ntp defaults
[10:29] <hoo-hah> :)
[10:29] <Boohbah> zith__: oh, that won't bring back the init script...
[10:30] <zith__> yeah, is there a nice place to grab the script from?
[10:30] <Boohbah> zith__: here's my /etc/init.d/ntp from hardy http://dpaste.com/54052/
[10:31] <nixiepixel> ShockF - yes, you are literally mounting your partition to /mnt/ntfs - that will be the root of your partition, if it is mounted correctly
[10:31] <zith__> thanks a ton Boohbah
[10:31] <ShockF> ok it dindt work so ill try again later and ill be back later gotta go do some things
[10:31] <joeri> chalcedony: sed yes, axk no
[10:31] <Boohbah> hoohaah: since the turn of the century :)
[10:31] <nixiepixel> ShockF - also, if you are on Ubuntu, under "Places" your other partitions will be listed, or should be
[10:32] <chalcedony> joeri: i have a problem that i think it might be a solution for, can i message you since it's not a #ubuntu topic ?
[10:32] <zach3300> hey guys how is everyone
[10:32] <ShockF> yeh all the partitons are listed and all mounted except vista which it says i dont have privaledge to do so
[10:32] <nixiepixel> Ahh
[10:32] <ShockF> but yh ill be back in around 20 mins gotta do some thingw
[10:32] <zach3300> that good huh
[10:33] <nixiepixel> ShockF - yeah, sorry, I'm sure people here can help then, I seem to remember the problem when you don't have priviliges to mount a partition in Nautilis, and I know there have to be folks to help you with that
[10:34] <henux> i compiled a library from sources and installed it system-wide into /usr/local. now when i try to run a program which depends on that library i get "cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" how do i add this path to the path of libraries to load from?
[10:35] <zach3300> well i have a question what is the diff between ubuntu and mac os x
[10:35] <unicum> does the ubuntu live disk include gpart?
[10:36] <genelisp> how do I add new keys to apt-key so that my (new) sources.list works?
[10:36] <pretender> running Eeebuntu lost icons top right panel
[10:36] <reenignEesreveR> i wanna quick format a partition ... whats the best way?
[10:36] <Nimatek> i'd appreciate if anyone could offer advice on my network printer problem: Sharp MX-350U is active and receives print order but doesn't print anything
[10:37] <zach3300> sorroy got booted
[10:37] <Nimatek> Sharp MX-M350U i mean

[10:38] <zach3300> cause i  thought the were alot alike
[10:39] <spiff74> Hi! Im trying to set up a postgres database, and have installed all needed files via the package manager.. But Im getting an errormessage when I try to run postgres.. su postgres -c create-database.sh is the command I run, and su: Authentication failure is the errormessage...
[10:39] <XCP> hi. I created an application launcher and entered as the command "command parameter" ... now, is there a way to change the current working directory to a specific directory before invoking command? I know it's possible with a script, but is it also possible with a desktop app launcher?
[10:41] <reenignEesreveR> can i quick format using gparted?
[10:41] <vraa> hey quick question - how is the tablet support in ubuntu? i have a hp tx1020 :)
[10:43] <halfie> emergency: I have /dev/sdc2 mounted and working OK ... but I accidently deleted partitions while the disk was mounted .. how can I recover the partitions .. ?
[10:43] <spiff74> hmm.. not much answers here.. just questions.. maybe there are other ubuntu channels?
[10:44] <halfie> . /dev/sdc2 is still mounted and working properly ..
[10:44] <indus_> halfie: what is dev sdc 2 , a hard drive?
[10:44] <stevecam> how do i log other people off the system from the command line
[10:44] <sydneyguy> Why Ubuntu server 9.04 has no x windows?
[10:44] <stevecam> sydneyguy, its best not to run a server with X
[10:44] <indus_> sydneyguy: cos its a server OS, and most people work on the command line in it, its faster
[10:45] <halfie> indus_: yes
[10:45] <iceroot> sydneyguy: because server dont need a gui, but you can install gnome, kde and so on
[10:45] <Boohbah> sydneyguy: because X uses resources that would be better used for serving services...
[10:45] <halfie> indus_: kernel is still using old partition  table .. can i get the table back from kernel copy somehow
[10:45] <halfie> ?>
[10:45] <indus_> sydneyguy: and also as stevecam mentions, its a security issue and also Boohbah is right, X is a resource hog
[10:46] <intok> Edubuntu, Qimo or something else, whats better for old gear? P3 600Mhz, 512Mb ram kinda stuff
[10:46] <indus_> halfie: sorry i dont know this
[10:46] <halfie> okay np
[10:46] <indus_> halfie: how did you delete the partitions btw
[10:46] <indus_> !
[10:46] <indus_> no iam still here
[10:46] <stevecam> installing X on a server just slows it down, linux programs are usualy command line based, with GUI's for people who are still getting used to things, where windows has a big disadvantage of being completely reliant on some sort of GUI
[10:47] <indus_> connection reset by beer haahahha hoohoho
[10:47] <stevecam> you can install X, but you want to follow the KISS principle, keep it short and simple
[10:47] <ringo999> stil the same problem: can't get german keyboard on macbook work correctly. tried all kinds of settings in the Settings->Keyboard->Layout menu with no succes. Also tried to use my xorg.conf from a working debian system but it didn't really work. Dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server will give me a generic conf file...
[10:47] <sydneyguy> I want to learn to use the server .. so I will install gnome to be able to learn faster and easier
[10:48] <Boohbah> intok: they are probably similar in terms of resource use
[10:48] <ringo999> where does ubuntu store keyboard settings?
[10:48] <stevecam> sydneyguy, what exactly do you want to serve?
[10:48] <ringo999> possible to manually edit those files?
[10:48] <iceroot> sydneyguy: you dont need a gui for a server
[10:48] <indus_> sydneyguy: also i find gui to be buggy sometims and doesnt work as intended
[10:49] <vraa> sydneyguy it's not really wise to use X on server, because it's so slow
[10:49] <sydneyguy> I want to learn and play around with it.. and also to be able to use firefox and browsethe web and read docs
[10:49] <stevecam> its virtually impossible to include all functions of a server in a GUI
[10:49] <vraa> sydneyguy learning the ins and outs of linux server stuff is MUCH faster if you just isntall the server stuff, setup ssh, and then ssh from another computer into it
[10:49] <sydneyguy> and when I am ok with it .. I will re-install it without gui
[10:49] <sydneyguy> I am installing gnome at this moment
[10:49] <vraa> that's what i do, and it works out very well -- it keeps the server itself trim and free of extra crap, and it allows me to keep using firefox and stuff for reading tutorials
[10:50] <indus_> sydneyguy: but if you really want to learn a server OS , you should without the GUI
[10:50] <ringo999> i really would appreciate any help with this, been looking for a solution for two day, also posted in the forum. Can't really work (code) without a working keyboard :-(
[10:50] <iceroot> sydneyguy: then you dont need ubuntu server, you need ubuntu
[10:50] <iceroot> sydneyguy: use a normal desktop-system
[10:50] <sydneyguy> wait
[10:50] <darvish> hi
[10:50] <sydneyguy> If I install ubuntu 9.04 server..
[10:50] <stevecam> sydneyguy, use a normal desktop until you are ready
[10:50] <indus_> ringo999: can u state ur issue again
[10:51] <sydneyguy> What do i need to do to be able to ssh and configure everything remotely
[10:51] <iceroot> sydneyguy: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[10:51] <kj4> sydneyguy, check off ssh during the install
[10:51] <Bittarman> Anyone know how to use gdb with apache without getting "apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}"
[10:52] <stevecam> sydneyguy,how long have you been using *nixes for?
[10:52] <iceroot> sydneyguy: and if you are new to linux, please learn with a local system, not a real root-server in the net
[10:53] <iceroot> sydneyguy: spam-relay, hacked warez system and so on are not very nice
[10:53] <stevecam> yeah, running everything in root is a big no-no
[10:53] <harahauk> sydneyguy: all you need is to install openssh-server and make sure any firewall isnt blocking the ssh port
[10:53] <iceroot> stevecam: i was meanin a root-server you can rent
[10:53] <sydneyguy> no no .. I am installing it and using it locallyand learn it then when I am ok .. I will use it ..
[10:53] <XCP> hi. I created an application launcher and entered as the command "command parameter" ... now, is there a way to change the current working directory to a specific directory before invoking command? I know it's possible with a script, but is it also possible with a desktop app launcher?
[10:54] <stevecam> iceroot, oh, lol
[10:54] <iceroot> sydneyguy: for learning use ubuntu 9.04 (not server edition)
[10:54] <sydneyguy> Which command tells me the ip address of the server?
[10:54] <guntbert> Bittarman: you might want to ask in #httpd
[10:54] <iceroot> sydneyguy: try learning how to start and stop services, how to work with vi, learn why there is sudo, how to install programs and so on
[10:54] <iceroot> sydneyguy: ifconfig
[10:54] <vraa> sydneyguy try "ifconfig"
[10:54] <ringo999> indus_: trying to get german keyboard on macbook to work. tried all model/layout combinations from settings->keyboard->layout menu. also tried manually editing xorg.conf. Dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver will give me a generic xorg.cong though. I don't no what to do anymore. I'm running xubuntu jauntry.
[10:54] <harahauk> depends on what you want to learn really, if you want to learn server management starting up with desktop edition is kinda futile
[10:55] <stevecam> sydneyguy, when i started using linux, i messed around with some mini distro's, you get your hands dirty real fast and there quick to reinstall, and you can even emulate them in a ram disk
[10:55] <iceroot> harahauk: learning linux first is a good idea :)
[10:55] <harahauk> iceroot: yea, but do you learn linux faster by using desktop edition? isnt that just learning gnome/kde/flux/whatever
[10:55] <stevecam> sydneyguy, everyone has there uses for linux, you might find it easy just having a server that you can fuck around with
[10:56] <ringo999> indus_: just to make it clear: the keyboard works except some "special" keys like F11, or the SUPER key for getting email at symbol etc.
[10:56] <iceroot> harahauk: no :)
[10:56] <guntbert> !ohmy | stevecam
[10:56] <iceroot> harahauk: a gui is a good start to learn linux
[10:56] <stevecam> oh whoops, i forgot
[10:56] <guntbert> stevecam: :)
[10:56] <stevecam> well, mess around with
[10:56] <stevecam> :-)
[10:56] <harahauk> iceroot: to repeat myself for spite, depends on what you want to learn ;)
[10:57] <iceroot> harahauk: the first think you want to learn is that linux is not windows :)
[10:57] <ringo999> indus_: SUPER translates into ALT-GR (the "apple" key)
[10:57] <ringo999> indus_: any idea?
[10:57] <sydneyguy> I am re-installing it again in text mode .. and i will use ssh to configure it .. as you said .. I know how move around and do things in linux.. not expert .. but i can manage
[10:57] <harahauk> iceroot: that should be painfully obvious ;)
[10:57] <iceroot> harahauk: :)
[10:58] <spiff74> Ill try posting my question again...   Im trying to set up a postgres database, and have installed all needed files via the package manager.. But Im getting an errormessage when I try to run postgres.. su postgres -c create-database.sh is the command I run, and su: Authentication failure is the errormessage...
[10:58] <Chiliblue_> gui is handy but won't really help you learn the guts of linux
[10:58] <harahauk> i agree
[10:58] <stevecam> sydneyguy, have you read any bash tutorials, they might be worth reading, since bash is a lot more advanced then MSDOS
[10:58] <iceroot> spiff74: su postgres and then createdb
[10:59] <Chiliblue_> web browsing in console isn't a great experience though
[10:59] <Chiliblue_> :)
[10:59] <ringo999> why does dpkg-reconfgiure xorg-xserver give a generic "empty" xorg.conf? Where is all the configuratio regarding X11 (keyboard!) handled?
[10:59] <iceroot> Chiliblue_: also vi
[10:59] <stevecam> Chiliblue_, depends what website your visiting
[10:59] <spiff74> iceroot: ok, so I need to remove the -c argument?
[10:59]  * Chiliblue_ shudders
[10:59] <guntbert> spiff74: one aspect comes to my mind: "su postgres..." is rather unusual in ubuntu, did you install postgresql from the repos?
[11:00] <genelisp> hi, I get 'invalid key' when I try to update with apt-get how can I solve this?
[11:00] <spiff74> guntbert: yes I did..
[11:00] <sydneyguy> I used Linux the 1st time 1993
[11:00] <harahauk> hmm, did i miss something? sydneyguy you are trying to set up a server right? not a home computer?
[11:00] <ringo999> anybody?
[11:00] <Chiliblue_> true spiff74 but get less so as the years go by
[11:00] <harahauk> if its your home computer the desktop edition is a natural choice
[11:01] <harahauk> but if you want to learn how to manage a server, skip the gui all together and start googling everything you want to do :P
[11:01] <harahauk> or read man pagges for stuff you know the commands for
[11:01] <harahauk> soon youll be working effective as hell :)
[11:01] <stevecam> sydneyguy, you arnt gonna loose any brownie points for failing, just mess around with it, have a look at things, one good thing to do is try to reproduce the same result, once you can do what you want to do more then once, you should be set
[11:02] <stevecam> am i making sense?
[11:02] <sydneyguy> It was very differnet than now .. was very hard .. and Slackwarewas the best .. Redhat was at the beginning
[11:02] <spiff74> guntbert: should I not use su postgres then?
[11:02] <guntbert> spiff74: ah, I see now (think so): that command assumes, you are root, but of course you are not, you might try sudo -i first, though I'm not certain if that is the recommended way ... maybe someone else sees the flaw?
[11:02] <harahauk> my approach for learning server management was virtualization. virtualize a testbox and wreck it like crazy. then try to learn from the faults you made :)
[11:03] <Chiliblue_> so also don't need to reinstall in text mode, just install then choose not to start x
[11:03] <spiff74> guntbert: ok, Ill try that :)
[11:03] <stevecam> sydneyguy, if you know your way around the bash system, then LFS may be able to teach you a thing or two
[11:03] <sydneyguy> I think Ubuntu and linux in general is well documented now .. especially the server stuff because .. it is the most used servers
[11:03] <Chiliblue_> I don't think installing in text mode makes you more manly
[11:03] <cypha> who suggested GIZMO for SKYPE?
[11:03] <sydneyguy> I have the last version .. and I will try it soon
[11:03] <stevecam> Chiliblue_, it makes me more manly
[11:03] <LandFree> Hi
[11:04] <sydneyguy> I stopped using linux for a long time
[11:04] <guntbert> spiff74: you see: su ... assumes the identity of that user, so you should have the password or be root
[11:04] <sydneyguy> I used Mac OS X
[11:04] <Chiliblue_> sydneyguy: you should be fine then
[11:04] <spiff74> guntbert: ok, that clarifies it.. Im an OS X guy, same as sydneyguy, so my knowledge about linux and ubuntu is minimal..
[11:05] <sydneyguy> WHen I install Ubuntu server .. what shall i choose for the mail config .. no Configuration or Internet Site
[11:05] <unicum> now.. i'm just burning an ubuntu live disc for gparted.. because fdisk gave me this http://kthx.de/~unicum/fdisk.txt on an external drive
[11:05] <genelisp> hi, I get 'invalid key' when I try to update with apt-get how can I solve this?
[11:05] <unicum> any ideas what i'll do with this, once the disk is ready and booted?
[11:05] <Chiliblue_> I use osx for my day to day desktop and linux on servers
[11:05] <intok> Hhhmmm... Edubuntu says it needs a 1Ghz cpu, Qimo says a 400Mhz but neds much more install space, interesting
[11:05] <guntbert> spiff74: :)
[11:05] <sydneyguy> In my case I used linux before Mac OS X ...
[11:05] <stevecam> Chiliblue_, imo, mac are just as bad as MS
[11:05] <sydneyguy> But when I started using Mac OS X .. I hated windows and I stopped using it ..
[11:06] <guntbert> !ot | sydneyguy
[11:06] <sydneyguy> and when I saw Ubuntu .. I became in love with it .. but can not leave Mac OS X .. it is magic .. no one can leave Mac OS X or Apple
[11:06] <Nimatek> i'd appreciate if anyone could offer advice on my network printer problem: Sharp MX-M350U is active and receives print order but doesn't print anything
[11:07] <stevecam> sydneyguy, i have a apple G3
[11:07] <spiff74> in one year I had to reinstall winblowz two times, because it got slow as hell, but after one year with OS X, the computer feels as snappy and quick as the first time I unpacked it..
[11:07] <stevecam> its great for a terminal client
[11:07] <vraa> um, i left osx
[11:07] <vraa> it was great, but it sucked because i couldn't really run any games, or use any fancy smancy linux stuff
[11:07] <sydneyguy> I have iMac 24" 3.06 GHz Allumin .. and MacBookPro 17" Unibody 2.93 GHz
[11:08] <stevecam> i lost my faith in apple after the iPhone was released
[11:08] <sydneyguy> and planning in buying MacPro 8-core soon
[11:08] <stevecam> sydneyguy, PPC or x86?
[11:08] <bazhang> stevecam, sydneyguy please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[11:08] <sydneyguy> stevencam: why?
[11:08] <sydneyguy> ok .. sorry
[11:08] <intok> I still use my Quicksilver G4 daily with tiger, been eyeing maxing it out with the Maxpower dual 1.8Ghz G4 and a 7800GT AGP
[11:08] <ringo999_> i want to leave osx, but i cant get the keyboard to work properly with xubunto on macbook. could anybody please try to help me?
[11:08] <stevecam> sydneyguy, if it was an x86, you could install ubuntu on it :-)
[11:09] <LandFree> I've spent some time reading about building my own linux distro, and many articles say it's best to start with another distro as a core, such as ubuntu, it's having strong safe security, does anyone know of an article which i can have ubuntu as my core and build upon it, thank you :)
[11:09] <sydneyguy> Do u mean iPhone?
[11:09] <intok> stevecam you can still install an older version of ubuntu on the ppc, and theres always yellow dog
[11:09] <sydneyguy> Yes ...
[11:09] <intok> I remebmer there being mandriva and slack ports as well
[11:09] <sydneyguy> u can use LFS ...
[11:10] <sydneyguy> and use ur Ubuntu as ur Host system
[11:10] <stevecam> intok, well, at the moment im compiling LFS for my G3 :-)
[11:10] <guntbert> LandFree: this channel is for ubuntu-support only, please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:10] <bazhang> !ot
[11:10] <sydneyguy> x86
[11:10] <intok> there was also Mac On Linux, which was an early VM system
[11:10] <sydneyguy> I did not see it sorry
[11:10] <genelisp> how can I get apt-get to update without giving me invalid key errors?
[11:10] <bazhang> intok, please chat elsewhere
[11:10] <darvish> hi
[11:11] <LandFree> oh sorry, thanks
[11:11] <jjibn> hi all who can give me a copy of file of bash under the directory of bin as I erased it without purpose
[11:11] <sydneyguy> I am now using Ubuntu in Parallels .. very fast i do not feel it is in virtual
[11:11] <sydneyguy> I used to have triple boot Ubuntu
[11:11] <stevecam> jjibn o_0
[11:11] <intok> bazhang it;s ubuntu/linux related, it'd be moreso if Canocial hand;t dropped PPC support...
what does it mean?
[11:12] <webman> jjibn: just re-install the package "sudo apt-get --reinstall install bash" should work...
[11:12] <guntbert> intok: "related" doesn't matter here, *this* is strictly for support questions, thank you
[11:12] <nixiepixel> Is there an ubuntu server channel?
[11:12] <bazhang> #ubuntu-server
[11:12] <stevecam> is there gonna be any new PPC releases of ubuntu?
thx
[11:13] <nixiepixel> Thanks, that makes sense ;)
[11:13] <sydneyguy> Did Apple dropped PPC support in their upcoming Snow Leopard
[11:13] <jjibn> and is that from the software source directly
[11:13] <nixiepixel> Has anyone figured out how to get fuppes transcoding-on-the-fly working with an XBox 360?
[11:13] <spiff74> sydneyguy: yeah, no more PPC support from apple..
[11:14] <bazhang> sydneyguy, ask in the appropriate channel
[11:14]  * dROg I am so high...i can hear heaven....oh but heaven....no heaven don't hear me....
[11:14] <genelisp> ok,  I am getting gpg errors on apt-get update but I can't update keys because I have NODATA 2 for 'key' - how can I solve this?
[11:14] <XCP> hi. I created an application launcher and entered as the command "command parameter" ... now, is there a way to change the current working directory to a specific directory before invoking command? I know it's possible with a script, but is it also possible with a desktop app launcher?
[11:14] <sydneyguy> So guys .. what shall I choose no configuration or Internet site for my Ubuntu Server installation for mail
[11:14] <bazhang> !gpgerr | genelisp
[11:14] <whatvn> dROg, can I see your heaven ? :p
[11:14] <sydneyguy> I am at the Postfix configuration
[11:15] <genelisp> bazhang:  these are ubuntu repos
[11:15] <jjibn> thx
[11:15] <genelisp> bazhang: not custom ones - from oldreleases though
[11:15] <ShockF> nixie you still here
[11:15] <rob_p> sydneyguy, What will it's role be?
[11:15] <bazhang> genelisp, what version of ubuntu
[11:16] <genelisp> bazhang: gutsy 7.10
[11:16] <whatvn> gutsy is out of day
[11:16] <bazhang> genelisp, and you wish to upgrade to which version, as that is end of life
[11:16] <genelisp> bazhang: I am not upgrading
[11:16] <guntbert> sydneyguy: it *might* be a good idea to take that to #ubuntu-server :)
[11:17] <bazhang> genelisp, that is end of life and no longer supported
[11:17] <sydneyguy> I am just learning ... but .. I am planning in the future to provide web hosting and mail services
[11:17] <sydneyguy> Common guys relax
[11:18] <guntbert> sydneyguy: what I wanted to say: support for insatlling an configuring servers is beyond the range of *this* channel, but there is #ubuntu-server
[11:18] <guntbert> *installing
[11:18] <genelisp> bazhang: can I easily upgrade to 9?
[11:18] <sydneyguy> ok
[11:18] <jrib> XCP: you probably need to do something like bash -c "blah blah blah"
[11:18] <ShockF> guntbert can you help me with mounting my vista partition so its viewable in ubuntu
[11:18] <rob_p> sydneyguy, The answer to that question in the installer will merely affect the configuration file options for postfix.  Therefore, if you are just learning to get familiar with it, choose either.
[11:18] <bazhang> !upgrade | genelisp read this
[11:18] <XCP> jrib: trying that, thank you
[11:19] <guntbert> ShockF: sorry, no - never used vista
[11:19] <Sensiva> Hello all, I am confused which file system to use for my Ubuntu partitions (partition for installation and another one to host my home folder) any ideas? I am using 64bit platform
[11:19] <ShockF> oh ok
[11:19] <JEEB> Has anyone here tried ubuntu on a Sharp D4? Just interested in the current things with the intel onboard and touchscreen with it :3
[11:19] <rob_p> sydneyguy, ...but yeah, it's a little beyond the scope of what this channel was designed for.
[11:19] <jrib> Sensiva: ext3 or ext4
[11:19] <XCP> jrib: but according to the man pages that does not solve the problem with the current working directory.
[11:20] <ShockF> can any one help ,e
[11:20] <jrib> XCP: why?
[11:20] <ShockF> me with mounting my vista partition
[11:20] <XCP> jrib: because the working directory remains the same as the one the command is invoked from
[11:20] <myxo> could anyone reference me the name of a software for capturing video in games like WoW
[11:20] <znh> Sensiva, do you have specific needs?
[11:20] <jrib> XCP: sure, but you can use 'cd blah; command', no?
[11:20] <Sensiva> jrib is there a webpage that describes ur decision in details plz?
[11:21] <Sensiva> znh special needs like what?
[11:21] <jrib> Sensiva: not that I am aware of.  Check:
[11:21] <jrib> !install > Sensiva
[11:21] <znh> Sensiva, encryption.. Hey you're supposed to tell me
[11:21]  * znh laughs
[11:22] <sydneyguy> ok ..
[11:22] <XCP> jrib: not with gnome app launchers
[11:22] <orion76> hello again now sound card 5.1 c-media older
[11:22] <Sensiva> znh I only run office, my own FTP small server for my friends, read books, watch movies, most of my files are really big (4GB)
[11:22] <spiff74> Im trying to open a configuration file with gedit, but I guess I have to open it as root to be able to edit it.. It says I dont have the rights to open with my normal user. Is there a way to change user for gedt in the GUI, or must I open it through the terminal?
[11:22] <XCP> jrib: the ones you get by right clicking on the desktop and choosing create launcher
[11:22] <jrib> XCP: i'm not in gnome to try it, but what did you try?
[11:22] <guntbert> !gksudo | spiff74
[11:23] <znh> Sensiva, Ext3 is what i'd recommend for stability. Reiserfs for speed
[11:23] <XCP> jrib: I tried to add the launcher and as the command I entered "cd blah; command blah2" ... then it complains about not finding cd.
[11:23] <spiff74> thanks guntbert and ubottu! :)
[11:23] <Sensiva> How unstable is Reiserfs ?
[11:23] <ringo999> where does ubuntu store keyboard configuration?
[11:23] <iceroot> Sensiva: its stable
[11:23] <ShockF> any body know how i can make my vista partition mountable so its viewable in ubuntu
[11:24] <iceroot> Sensiva: but i think its stopped
[11:24] <sydneyguy> I managed to ssh to ubuntu out of the box .. I did not need to install anything to be able to connect to it.. good thing
[11:24] <sydneyguy> Live long Ubuntu
[11:24] <Sensiva> Thank you all, another question plz
[11:24] <guntbert> sydneyguy: nice :)
[11:25] <Data_Storm> sydneyguy you disabled root login of the sshd deamon tho didnt you?
[11:25] <Sensiva> I want to move my current home directory to another partition, is there any confs I should alter?
[11:25] <nixiepixel> sydneyguy, didn't you have to install OpenSSH first?
[11:25] <sydneyguy> Data_Stor: No .. I did not have to install anything
[11:25] <sydneyguy> But..
[11:25] <guntbert> nixiepixel: sydneyguy  is on server...
[11:25] <sydneyguy> When I installedthe server I checked all servers
[11:25] <Data_Storm> for security reasons you should disable root access and sudo or su to root
[11:26] <ShockF> nixie do you want to have another go at trying to mount
[11:26] <sydneyguy> Oooppsss .. I get ur point.. I am talking about the ubuntu server I am installing
[11:26] <sydneyguy> Sorry guys for the confusion
[11:26] <jrib> XCP: wfm.  Paste exactly what you ran
[11:27] <guntbert> Data_Storm: sudo is the preferred method (or gksudo), *not* su
[11:27] <halfie> Doees running partprobe ensure that subsequent runs of fdisk/parted/testdisk will see the new partition table?
[11:28] <XCP> jrib: cd ~; kalarm ... it says "Details: Failed to execute child process "cd" (No such file or directory)"

[11:28] <iceroot> sydneyguy: for learning linux and server-management a LAMP is a good idea, postfix is an overkill for learning
[11:29] <jrib> XCP: verify it works in a shell
[11:29] <iceroot> sydneyguy: set up an apache mysql php server and install phpmyadmin and learn how to config things
[11:29] <sydneyguy> really
[11:29] <jrib> XCP: wait.   Maybe start Nautilus as root and try to mount it from there?
[11:29] <TehFlash> i typed in vim on terminal and the text editor opens, but then i cant type anything, what do i do to get it to work
[11:29] <ShazbotMcNasty> I recently hooked up my xbox 360 to my monitor, to use the xbox I turn off the computer and start the xbox, but I was wondering if there's a way to have the computer on at the same time and just make the monitor switch focus from the computer to the box and back... any ideas?
[11:30] <haffe> ShazbotMcNasty: How many inputs do you have on the monitor?
[11:30] <mib> hi.i recently lost my Workspace..currently i cant see any default workspace other than one.please help me how could i retrieve back
[11:30] <iceroot> sydneyguy: if it is working, try setting up a network printer with cups or use sharing with samba, but trust me, postfix is very very very hard (but sendmail is harder)
[11:30] <cankoy> Sensiva: I suggest you create a new user with $HOME on new partition, then cp $HOME/* of current user to there, login, and see what works/breaks.
[11:30] <ShazbotMcNasty> two
[11:30] <haffe> VGA and DVI?
[11:30] <haffe> Or DVI and DVI?
[11:31] <ShazbotMcNasty> haffe vga and dvi
[11:31] <haffe> Ok.
[11:31] <haffe> You could if you wanted hook the Xbox up to the DVI and your computer to the VGA.
[11:31] <haffe> Or get a DVIswitch.
[11:32] <ShazbotMcNasty> the xbox is hooked up to vga

[11:37] <bazhang> !brainstorm > indus_
[11:37] <nixiepixel> ShockF - When you did sudo mount did you get an error message?
[11:38] <luca> hello room
[11:38] <jjibn> and does there exist a file of bash in the iso of ubuntu?
[11:38] <ShockF> cant rember shall i try it again
[11:38] <xre> Join #quaket.net@Quakenet
[11:39] <indus_> bazhang: thanks,but i think it might be too difficult resource wise
[11:39] <Myrtti> xre: no spamming
[11:40] <bazhang> indus_, then please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[11:40] <mib> anyone knows how to reenable to view back the multiple workspaces in ubuntu?
[11:40] <nixiepixel> ShockF - sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /mnt/ntfs
[11:40] <indus_> bazhang: its not off topic
[11:40] <indus_> nvm
[11:40] <jjibn> no boday knows?
[11:41] <starnet> haluo
[11:41] <shashwatpns> how do i see the desktop cube whats the shortcut(from keyboard of couse)
[11:41] <shashwatpns> ??????????????????????
[11:41] <nixiepixel> CTRL-ALT-MOUSE1
[11:41] <bazhang> shashwatpns, install ccsm
[11:41] <mib> why no one answering me:(
[11:42] <shashwatpns> bazhang whts ccsm?
[11:42] <ShockF> yh i get an erro
[11:42] <ShockF> error
what is that?
[11:42] <bazhang> !ccsm > shashwatpns
[11:42] <Data_Storm> mib what desktop are your using
[11:42] <jjibn> and me
[11:42] <Winball> ???????????????????????
[11:42] <mib> Data_storm: you mean pc brand?
[11:42] <Data_Storm> no I mean what desktop, KDE, gnome?
[11:42] <jjibn> some body  knows
[11:42] <nixiepixel> Sorry, that was to shashwapns - the shortcut for desktop cube (once you have enabled it) to begin rotation is CTRL-ALT-MOUSE1
[11:42] <mib> gnome
[11:42] <skapning> I have a bitmapped font, how do I install it so that I can use it with gnome terminal?
[11:42] <bazhang> jjibn, what about sudo apt-get install bash
[11:43] <Data_Storm> @mib its usually in the preferances under desktop settings right click
[11:43] <mib> desktop?right click?
[11:43] <Data_Storm> multiple desktops..
the point is that I can't dail on net under ubuntu,so the command maybe doesn't work
[11:44] <bazhang> jjibn, no internet connection?
[11:45] <mib> on PLaces->Desktop ?
yeah
[11:45] <skapning> anyone?
[11:45] <skapning> I have a bitmapped font, how do I install it so that I can use it with gnome terminal?
[11:45] <bazhang> jjibn, how are you connecting here
[11:45] <Data_Storm> not sure @ mib everyones desktop is differant
[11:46] <Data_Storm> but the option to enable more than one is in the preferences somewhere..
[11:46]  * skapning facepalms
after I erase the file of bin,it couldn't on internet again.I checked but it doesn't work.
I used another OS
[11:46] <mib> i couldnt figure it out
[11:46] <nixiepixel> Data_Storm, mib - in compizconfig-settings-manager the option to add multiple desktops is under General Options
[11:47] <jjibn> but that is another problem
[11:47] <jjibn> :)
[11:47] <skapning> bazhang: want to install a *.fon bitmapped font, where does it go, and do I just fc-cache -fv?
[11:48] <bazhang> jjibn, you erased everything in /usr/bin ?
[11:48] <ShockF> nixie i still get the same chkdsk error
not really,just the file of bash,I said that before
[11:49] <nixiepixel> ShockF - you are getting a chkdsk error when trying to mount at the command line?
[11:49] <ShockF> yup
[11:49] <nixiepixel> Ok, one last thing, try this:
[11:49] <nixiepixel> sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -f /dev/sda3 /mnt/ntfs
[11:49] <shashwatpns> how do you see a cube in ubuntu
[11:50] <nixiepixel> ShockF - but be careful, you're forcing it to mount
[11:50] <ShockF> kk
[11:50] <nixiepixel> so if you haven't backed up your data, do so before you try that
[11:50] <znh> mm my UI (Gnome) is responding quite slow. I have desktop effects disabled. Any tweaks? I'm using default drivers for my ATi Mobility 9000
[11:50] <ShockF> tbh i dont think ill do that
[11:50] <bazhang> shashwatpns, install ccsm, then enable in settings, activate
[11:50] <brennon> have they worked out 3D accel. issues with VIA/S3 integrated chipsets yet?
[11:50] <ShockF> as tht whole partition is an os and it has loads of important things on
[11:50] <bazhang> jjibn, why not hook ethernet to that computer and try to install it
[11:51] <naxa> i have a hard disk drive image "hdd.img". i think it also contains the mbr so it's a full image... I don't know how to mount it. in "fdisk hdd.img" i can see that there is a fat16 partition on it (the file is 80mb). but I don't know how to mount it (bypass mbr, does ubuntu handle fat16?)
[11:51] <shashwatpns> its activated bazhang i dont know how to see it
[11:51] <brennon> I have this gateway MX3215 here and it's chugging with 9.04
[11:51] <imperfect-> Anyone know what tehe deal is with keyserver.ubuntu.com ?
[11:51] <bazhang> shashwatpns, is compiz enabled?
[11:51] <shashwatpns> yes bazhang
[11:52] <bazhang> shashwatpns, also did you set to 4 sides instead of only two? in general settings (ccsm)
[11:52] <shashwatpns> yes
[11:52] <nixiepixel> ShockF - I understand, you should not do anything like that unless you have a full backup.  For anything else you'll need help from somebody else, sorry, you're at the limit of my knowledge here.
[11:52] <bazhang> shashwatpns, just a second let me enable mine
[11:52] <ShockF> ok thanks any way
[11:53] <shashwatpns> bazhang i just want the key
[11:53] <ShockF> u know the apt-get install update and then apt-get ntfs thing and then the gksudo thing do you know that way of mounting ?
[11:54] <jrib> ShockF: what?
[11:54] <ShockF> jrib : gartral showed me a way yesterday tht was using that method
[11:55] <jrib> ShockF: what you said is incredibly difficult to parse
[11:55] <ShockF> jrib oh
u mean setup the ethernet again?
[11:56] <nixiepixel> jrib - ShockF is looking to mount an NTFS drive, and someone told him to update first, then install an ntfs package (not sure which one), then use gksudo to do something, maybe to load Nautilus.
[11:57] <bazhang> shashwatpns, set 3d cube checked, active rotate cube checked then control alt left mouse drag
[11:58] <bazhang> shashwatpns, also control alt left arrow will work
[11:58] <bazhang> jjibn, yes
[11:59] <Schnitz> hi all
[11:59] <Schnitz> yesterday my wireless lan stopped working...i don't know why
[11:59] <Schnitz> i still get an IP from dhcp
[11:59] <Schnitz> but i can't ping my wireless router
[11:59] <Schnitz> nor something outside
[12:00] <Schnitz> the interface is up, ip address assigned, routes are configured
[12:00] <Myrtti> Schnitz: so what did you do yesterday?
[12:00] <Schnitz> Myrtti: came home...changed nothing (of course)
[12:00] <Schnitz> somebody else can use my wireless network without trouble
[12:00] <C-S-B_> Schnitz: have you tried a networking restart
[12:00] <Schnitz> C-S-B_: i restarted the whole notebook
[12:01] <ajitam> hi I'm try to put up a svn server...
[12:01] <C-S-B_> Schnitz: the service on the pc?
[12:01] <C-S-B_> Schnitz: can you resolve?
[12:01] <Schnitz> C-S-B_: dns is also dead
[12:01] <ajitam> 1. question: is there any other repositori program better than svn ?
[12:01] <Schnitz> network connection just feels like "not connected"
[12:02] <C-S-B_> Schnitz: can you ping localhost?
[12:02] <Schnitz> but ip gets assigned by the router
[12:02] <Schnitz> C-S-B_: yes
[12:02] <ajitam> because mine is working super slow
[12:02] <jrib> ajitam: bzr, darcs, git, mercurial, ...
[12:02] <Schnitz> C-S-B_: i can also ping my own ip address (which got assigned by dhcp)
[12:02] <bazhang> shashwatpns, you did do alt f2 compiz --replace as well?
[12:02] <C-S-B_> Schnitz: can you assign a static address and test?
[12:03] <ajitam> jrib:  do you recommend anyone
[12:03] <Schnitz> C-S-B_: i'll try
[12:03] <Schnitz> C-S-B_: right now i'm online with the same notebook using the wired interface
[12:03] <Schnitz> that one is working fine
[12:03] <jrib> ajitam: i like all of them.  Try them out and see if you prefer one over the other.  bzr is used in launchpad if that's important to you
[12:03] <C-S-B_> what chipset/driver are you using?
[12:04] <Schnitz> 0b:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)
[12:04] <niez> hi
[12:04] <niez> i've just installet new ubuntu, and xinerama stopped working
[12:04] <C-S-B_> Schnitz: after everything, do a sudo service networking restart
[12:05] <niez> i can;t configure it right no more
[12:05] <indus_> niez: run cinerama from terminal
[12:05] <ShockF> if i wanted to uninstall linux and start over again to reinstall it how would i do that just delete the ubuntu partition
[12:05] <Schnitz> C-S-B_: ok
[12:05] <erUSUL> ShockF: yep
[12:05] <Schnitz> C-S-B_: wait a minute, now i will check if it's working with another static address
[12:06] <bazhang> niez, dual screens or one big screen
[12:06] <nixiepixel> ShockF yes, if you just want to reinstall with the CD, but if you want to load Vista before you've reinstalled Ubuntu (and grub) you'll have to repair the Vista bootloader
[12:06] <ShockF> erusul but grub is my bootloader so would my vista partition still load
[12:06] <shashwatpns> banzhang: sometime before i accidently started the cube,the prob is just that which key i pressed
[12:06] <Schnitz> frag me...
[12:06] <ShockF> so i stick in my vista cd and click repair
[12:06] <Schnitz> if i change to another address than the one assigned by dhcp....it's working
[12:07] <erUSUL> ShockF: no you will have to boot with a windws cd into recvery console and run « fixmbr »
[12:07] <bazhang> shashwatpns, try alt f2 compiz --replace
[12:07] <Schnitz> should have bought a wireless router for more than 20 bucks maybe hehe
[12:07] <niez> bazhang, one big screen, I had before debian etch, everything has worked ok
[12:07] <Schnitz> C-S-B_: thanks for the hint....do you have any idea why this could be?
[12:08] <ShockF> kk
[12:08] <shashwatpns> k thanks bazhang, butb i cant try it now as im not on ubuntu,thanks once again
[12:08] <niez> indus_, cinerama?

[12:10] <niez> bazhang, yes
[12:11] <iceroot> Gaskin: /connect servername
[12:11] <iceroot> Gaskin: with irssi
[12:11] <C-S-B_> Schnitz: are you sure theres not another device on the network with the same address?
[12:11] <naxa> anyone knows how to play audio cds in audacious in 9.04?

[12:12] <apparle> I wanted to goto kubuntu plz tell me how to
[12:12] <apparle> I have been redirected here from mibbit
[12:12] <apparle> plzzzz
[12:12] <fccf-virt> apparle: have you installed kubuntu-desktop
[12:12] <C-S-B_> apparle:  just install the kde packages
[12:12] <Schnitz> C-S-B_: already checked that
[12:13] <fuxartige33> hi folks, that's http://sunoano.name/ws/public_xhtml/debian_notes_cheat_sheets.html Debian but then imho pretty cool to have a look at for ubuntu users too :-)
[12:13] <C-S-B_> well id blame the settings your router is giving out for dhcp
[12:13] <fccf-virt> apparle: after that at your login screen goto options > select session ... KDE and login and you are in
[12:13] <cankoy> naxa: install audacious-plugins
[12:14] <C-S-B_> Schnitz: what address do you get when you are assigned by DHCP and what did you assign as static? do they work if you manually set the same as the dhcp?
[12:14] <apparle> I didn't want to come to #ubuntu I am using mibbit and I 've been redirected here. I want to goto #kubuntu. I just can't go there
[12:14] <naxa> cankoy, i have "CD audio plugin", but how to open the cd???
[12:15] <C-S-B_> .. /j #kubuntu?
[12:15] <fccf-virt> apparle: happy to help you
[12:16] <blind|melon|chit> Anyone know offhand if Canonical has made any announcements regarding whether or not they'll be switching to eglibc similar to Debian?
[12:16] <apparle> fccf-virt: I am using mibbit.com and when I connect to #kubuntu I am redirected to #ubuntu-proxy-users plz help
[12:16] <blind|melon|chit> I've been looking around but haven't been able to find anything official :>
[12:17] <apparle> fccf: I am using mibbit.com and when I connect to #kubuntu I am redirected to #ubuntu-proxy-users plz help
[12:18] <fccf> apparle: reccommend using a real irc client .. you cannot use a proxy with #kubuntu .. mobbit acts as a proxy .. though I can help you get going if you like
[12:18] <indus_> niez: CINERELLA
[12:18] <TheFunkbomb> why am I up so early?

[12:18] <yewk> TheFunkbomb, how old are you?
[12:18] <bazhang> TheFunkbomb, ??
[12:18] <TheFunkbomb> wrong chan my bad
[12:18] <indus_> niez: oops xinerama
[12:18] <apparle> fccf: IRC protocol is blocked in my college so I don't have anyother option
[12:19] <Firefishe> in Kubuntu 9.04, how can I cause nm-applet--the system tray interface to Network Manger--to start up when logging in to kde?
[12:19] <fccf> apparle: oic - can I help you get kubuntu going then?
[12:19] <un|matrix> apparle: is that some kind of a nazi college?
[12:20] <FrozenFire> Is there an easy way to grab only the hash part of sha256sum's output? I'm trying to have a simple one-liner that along the lines of "zenity --info --text=`zenity --entry --text="String to Hash" | sha256sum`"
[12:20] <fccf> un|matrix: fact is most colleges block traffic on their network
[12:20] <apparle> fccf: plz
[12:20] <un|matrix> not mine
[12:20] <logankoester> What's a fast way to generate a few gigs of garbage data?
[12:20] <FrozenFire> However, sha256sum outputs in the form of "[hash] [filename]"
[12:20] <FrozenFire> logankoester: /dev/zero or /dev/urandom
[12:20] <wrchiu> ??
[12:20] <apparle> un|matrix: No our college has blocked all the P2P protocols
[12:21] <fccf> apparle: see my private message
[12:21] <logankoester> How would I go about filling a file to a specific size from /dev/urandom FrozenFire?
[12:21] <FrozenFire> logankoester: dd
[12:21] <wWales> cankoy: hi again, had any new ideas on the 800x600 resolution problem? :)
[12:22] <FrozenFire> dd if=/dev/urandom of=/path/to/file bs=1024 count=somenumber
[12:22] <rameshwo> hello.. just testing..
[12:22] <logankoester> Heh, why was my first thought diskdruid when you said dd
[12:22] <logankoester> Thanks man :)
[12:22] <logankoester> I'll manpage it
[12:22] <martin-de-1983> Hi, I tried using umtsmon; I get an error message: "umtsmon: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[12:22] <Firefishe> apparle: although irc is not, by defintion, p2p, it does have some instances of file-serving of songs and such, which may explain your particular college's policies.  However, that said, keeping college students from IRC is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard! ;-)  Especially programming students.
[12:23] <FrozenFire> logankoester: Be sure to keep in mind that bs is the block size, which should be set so that you aren't copying a single byte at a time.
[12:23] <FrozenFire> And count is finalsize/bs
[12:23] <Administrator__> Hello?
[12:23] <FrozenFire> Howdy
[12:23] <logankoester> okay
[12:23] <yewk> Hi
[12:23] <logankoester> thanks
[12:23] <Joshua_Mayer> Hey.
[12:23] <apparle> Firefishe: Ifonly our college authorities understood this
[12:23] <martin-de-1983> libqt2-mt is installed, any ideas what to do?
[12:23] <Joshua_Mayer> I have a quick question for anyone to answer.
[12:23] <FrozenFire> Joshua_Mayer: Ask away ;)
[12:24] <Firefishe> apparle: ubuntu-offtopic might be better for extended convo on this subject...this *is* the help channel
[12:24] <apparle> Firefishe: sorry
[12:24] <Firefishe> apparle: no, not at all.  It's just courtesy for the channel....or pm me.
[12:25] <Joshua_Mayer> I am installing ubuntu on my laptop, and it the laptop was designed for Windows XP, so all the drivers for Graphics card, wireless card etc are for Windows. How can I get the wireless card to work on ubuntu?
[12:25] <wWales> i have a wierd problem in 800x600 resolution, the bottom half of my screen is outside the monitor  :/ native 1440x900 works fine, but some apps rew 800x600
[12:25] <FrozenFire> Joshua_Mayer: Does it not work "out of the box?"
[12:25] <Joshua_Mayer> What do you mean "out of the box'?
[12:25] <cankoy> wWales: since you're using the proprietary nvidia drv, I suggest you visit http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=13
[12:25] <Joshua_Mayer> You mean on a fresh install?
[12:25] <wWales> ok can
[12:25] <FrozenFire> Normally Ubuntu includes drivers for major wireless cards
[12:25] <dragoon`> anyone running zimbra on ubuntu 9.04 server?
[12:26] <FrozenFire> Joshua_Mayer: What's the wireless card model?
[12:26] <dragoon`> fresh install
[12:26] <Joshua_Mayer> I'll find out. Hang on...
[12:27] <cyphase> is it just me, or is gnome-system-monitor in need of some work?
[12:28] <FrozenFire> cyphase: I recommend top, or ps
[12:28] <cyphase> FrozenFire: yea, i know, thats what i use
[12:28] <cyphase> FrozenFire: still though
[12:28] <ircnickiuse> Hi, using ubuntu server 8.04 - how can I setup resumable vnc or gdm sessions? I've found a lot of guides using 'set remote desktop sharing' and one which says it is out of date now...
[12:29] <ircnickiuse> Also, I want to run x sessions in 1920 resolution, do you think I should use gdm, vnc or some nx protocol?
[12:29] <logankoester> I've replaced a 50gb volume with a 100gb one, but the system still thinks it's 50gb and full - what am I missing?
[12:30] <apparle> who controls this channel??
[12:30] <erUSUL> apparle: ubuntu irc council
[12:30] <logankoester> I didn't change it's mountpoint or anything
[12:30] <logankoester> just swapped the volumes, unmounted and remounted
[12:31] <logankoester> New volume is represented by the same file in /dev
[12:31] <jrib> apparle: why?
[12:31] <Joshua_Mayer> The wireless card is a Dell Wireless 1350 WLAN Mini-PCI Card.
[12:31] <Joshua_Mayer> Will that work with ubuntu?
[12:31] <apparle> I am using http://mibbit.com and I want to connect to #kubuntu but I am redirected to #ubuntu-proxy-users
[12:32] <blip-> ~gpgerr
[12:32] <blip-> !gpgerr
[12:32] <jrib> apparle: try #ubuntu-ops
[12:32] <nixiepixel> ubottu I love you.
[12:32] <Joshua_Mayer> FrozenFire: Will Dell Wireless 1350 WLAN Mini-PCI Card work?
[12:32] <arian> hallo
[12:33] <ekaj> ubottu
[12:33] <ekaj> ubottu love
[12:34] <Joshua_Mayer> Will a Dell Wireless 1350 WLAN Mini-PCI Card work?
[12:34] <blip-> ubottu: gpgerr
[12:34] <blip-> ah
[12:34] <logankoester> Did you guys understand my question? I'm not sure it was completely clear
[12:34] <FrozenFire> Joshua_Mayer: I believe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_(ndiswrapper)?highlight=(WifiDocs%2FDevice) may be of some assistance.
[12:34] <Joshua_Mayer> I'll take a look. Thanks.
[12:35] <Joshua_Mayer> Ah! I am new to linux, so that is confusing for me :
[12:35] <Joshua_Mayer> :(
[12:35] <FrozenFire> You might try first hooking it up via wired internet, and using the Hardware Drivers tool to try to find an ndiswrapper driver
[12:36] <Bacta> Hello everyone
[12:36] <FrozenFire> System->Administration->Hardware Drivers
[12:36] <Bacta> Good to be back
[12:36] <Joshua_Mayer> Thanks! I'll hook it up to the wired and run that tool. What happens if it doesn't find the driver?
[12:36] <amee2k> what code name is 9.04 again?
[12:36] <cyphase> jaunty jackalope
[12:37] <amee2k> ah
[12:37] <amee2k> thanks
[12:37] <cyphase> or just jaunty for shot :)
[12:37] <cyphase> short*
[12:37] <amee2k> hehe
[12:37] <Bacta> What does jaunty mean?
[12:37] <FrozenFire> Joshua_Mayer: If it doesn't work, then you might ask another person for some help. I'm not familiar with that card, nor the process for setting up ndiswrapper drivers manually.
[12:37] <rameshwo> any meaning of jaunty jackalope ????
[12:37] <amee2k> i keep wondering why i can't call it 9.04
[12:37] <amee2k> works for other projects too
[12:37] <amee2k> why do we need to do it redmond style
[12:38] <cyphase> ?
[12:38] <mrvdv> how can i install sshd because its saying i dont have it and if i try to get it it says cant find it
[12:38] <Joshua_Mayer> Ah, ok. I know a few linux people so I'll ask them if I need help.
[12:38] <Joshua_Mayer> Ubuntu can be used in a dual boot, can't it?
[12:38] <cyphase> yes, it can
[12:38] <amee2k> granted, ubuntu versions don't have names nearly as stupid as ME, XP, Vista or meaningless non-sequential numbers
[12:38] <cadu> mrvdv: i think the package name in debians/ubuntus is openssh-server
[12:39] <cadu> mrvdv: apt-get install openssh-server will do the trick, iirc.
[12:39] <amee2k> names as*
[12:39] <mrvdv> i tried that
[12:39] <Firefishe> How do I set up kde (Jaunty 9.04) to start nm-applet at startup?
[12:39] <cyphase> mrvdv: try apt-get install ssh
[12:39] <fennng> is it possible for me to view pdf document in console?
[12:40] <nixiepixel> Joshua_Mayer - many wireless cards are supported directly during installation, so hopefully yours is one of those, but www.ubuntuforums.org is a great place to ask as well, and yes you can dual boot
[12:40] <Mik__> Люди!
[12:40] <Mik__> может кто-нить помочь?
[12:40] <Myrtti> !ru | Mik__
[12:40] <mrvdv> still says it cant find it
[12:40] <Joshua_Mayer> Awesome! Thanks nixiepixel and FrozenFire!
[12:40] <mrvdv> wait up ill try and update ubuntu
[12:40] <mrvdv> cause i just isntalled it
[12:41] <nixiepixel> Joshua_mayer - I made a short video tutorial on installing Ubuntu to dual-boot, hopefully it can help you - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhnLk3gviWY
[12:41] <trident523> fennng: see http://lightlinux.blogspot.com/2008/09/howto-read-pdf-files-in-console.html

[12:44] <FrozenFire> Is there a way to make panel shortcuts for complex bash commands, without using an external file?
[12:44] <kalon33> ubottu: !ru > Mik__
[12:44] <trident523> Firefishe: have you tried KNetworkManager?
[12:44] <FrozenFire> I want to have a panel application launcher for "zenity --info --text=`zenity --entry --text="String to Hash" |tr -d '\n'|sha256sum|cut -b -64`"
[12:44] <matrixblue> is that THE nixiepixel?
[12:44] <fennng> trident523: Thank you!
[12:44] <trident523> FrozenFire: Do you want to see output... or just run it?
[12:45] <FrozenFire> trident523: Just want to run it, as it'll launch zenity (A gui applet)
[12:45] <trident523> FrozenFire: You can create a custom application launcher which runs that command.
[12:46] <Joshua_Mayer> So if I install Ubuntu off the CD, it will make GRUB the bootloader so I can choose which OS to boot?
[12:46] <FrozenFire> trident523: Doesn't seem to work.
[12:46] <Mik__> people
[12:46] <nixiepixel> matrixblue - uhh.. as far as I know I'm the only one?
[12:46] <kalon33> !ru
[12:46] <Mik__> advise me please
[12:46] <blip-> hi all,  I'm suddenly having a strange problem when I try to do apt-get update, a BADSIG, I've tried changing the mirror as well as retrieving a GPG key as ubottu instructed me, but no luck:   W: GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com intrepid-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key
[12:46] <FrozenFire> trident523: It doesn't seem to like the complex nature. I believe it just wants a single command, with its switches at most.
[12:46] <matrixblue> nixiepixel, cool I'm a huge fan. Keep up the good work :)
[12:46] <blip-> I don't understand what is so bad about this sig 40976EAF437D05B5 ....
[12:46] <naxa> audacious crossfade in 9.04, anyone?
[12:46] <FrozenFire> I don't believe application launchers run the command through bash
[12:46] <nixiepixel> matrixblue - thanks!
[12:47] <Joshua_Mayer> if I install Ubuntu off the CD, it will make GRUB the bootloader so I can choose which OS to boot?
[12:47] <Seal> afternoon all
[12:47] <trident523> FrozenFire: Er, I'd just use the external file which would then launch through the terminal, as I personally don't know much about the launcher.
[12:47] <trident523> Joshua_Mayer: yep.
[12:47] <blip-> FrozenFire: some of them give you the option to open a term window as they launch the app
[12:47] <trident523> Joshua_Mayer: as long as you keep a windows partition, and a linux one, it will setup grub.
[12:48] <FrozenFire> blip-: That's not the issue. I just want the command to be run through bash.
[12:48] <cankoy> FrozenFire: ` and | are bash things, so your command should start like "bash -c ..."
[12:48] <ShockF> hey i have a big problem
[12:48] <Joshua_Mayer> Cool. Do I need to make a partion for Ubuntu to install to, or can ubuntu make one during the install?
[12:48] <ShockF> how do i fix the mbr from the windows cd
[12:48] <nixiepixel> Joshua_Mayer - yes, grub will find your existing operating system and when it boots will give you the option to boot to it, though it defaults to Ubuntu
[12:48] <ShockF> nixie howd do i fix the mbr from the cd
[12:48] <Guest94258> Joshua_Mayr ubuntu does it during install
[12:49] <Joshua_Mayer> So do I need to manually make a new partion, or can the ubuntu install give me the option to do it?
[12:49] <trident523> ShockF: Well, two ways. You can re-install linux (easy,) or try to rescue it with another kind of boot disk.
[12:49] <Joshua_Mayer> Ok Cool.
[12:49] <rameshwo> joshua_mayer  just install ubuntu on d:   everything will be fine.. but  your datas in d: will be lost.. so backup them
[12:49] <nixiepixel> Joshua_Mayer - You can let Ubuntu do it, though if you have Vista you should do the partition shrinking in Vista, or there can be occasional problems
[12:49] <Joshua_Mayer> I have Windows XP.
[12:49] <nixiepixel> Then you are safe to do the repartitioning in Ubuntu
[12:49] <Joshua_Mayer> Does that matter?
[12:49] <ShockF> trident what do you mean
[12:49] <Joshua_Mayer> Awesome! Ubuntu looks awesome!
[12:49] <nixiepixel> Yes, Vista can have problems with partition alignment when a linux partition manager is used.
[12:50] <nixiepixel> I suggest making three partitions - / , /home and swap
[12:50] <chathuraw> Can anyone help me in upgrading the Jaunty kernel to 2.6.30?
[12:50] <Alexandra_> Joshua_Mayer yes it is really cool
[12:50] <trident523> chathuraw: Is it in the repos?
[12:50] <Seal> @Joshua_Mayer : the hardest job when installing jaunty is seeing the slider on the right to indicate how much drive space to give ubuntu!
[12:50] <nixiepixel> ShockF - I'm not sure, someone gave you the command above, assuming you are trying to repair your Vista master boot record?
[12:50] <FrozenFire> cankoy: Ah, I had tried that, but some quotes mixed up. That works, thanks.
[12:51] <chathuraw> trident523: i dont think so
[12:51] <nixiepixel> Joshua_Mayer - if you follow my video tutorial you'll have those three partitions, which makes it really easy to reinstall Ubuntu should you have to do it
[12:51] <ShockF> yeh im trying to repair vista mbr so i can remove linux off the system for now
[12:51] <Alexandra_> @Joshua_Mayer If you need some help, let me know
[12:51] <trident523> chathuraw: I give you this warning. "Building and using a custom kernel will make it very difficult to get support for your system.  While it is a learning experience to compile your own kernel, you will not be allowed to file bugs on the custom-built kernel (if you do, they will be Rejected without further explanation)."
[12:51] <Joshua_Mayer> Thanks Alexandra! You'll be here if I need help?
[12:52] <trident523> chathuraw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (you'd have to compile the newest one.)
[12:52] <ircnickiuse> I am using ubutnu server - for remote connections I need to install the whole gnome desktop?\
[12:52] <stevecam> how do i log off another user thats not in use
[12:52] <chathuraw> trident523: I know.  I can't suspend my laptop :(
[12:52] <ircnickiuse> remote desktop connections that is - what is the best way of installing gnome to I can use it as a session in tightvnc?
[12:52] <trident523> ShockF: If you want to just repair vista MBR... boot into the vista restore partition -> go to the cmd line -> type fixmbr.
[12:53] <trident523> ShockF: This abandons the linux partition though.
[12:53] <stevecam> ircnickiuse, i havnt done it, but i have read that it is possible
[12:53] <kevin_> Is there a way to allow a user to install software via synaptic, but not allow sudo access?
[12:54] <Myrtti> kevin_: not really
[12:54] <trident523> kevin_: Generally no, but they can generate a script that an admin can then use to install software.
[12:54] <chathuraw> trident523: thanks. Will try :)
[12:54] <rameshwo> how long does compiling a kernel take ??
[12:55] <kalon33> kevin_: maybe in the future when synaptic will use PolicyKit, but not know I think
[12:55] <kalon33> *now
[12:55] <rameshwo> it may depend on process but average ???
[12:55] <FrozenFire> Is there a way, from the terminal, to copy text into the clipboard?
[12:55] <Alexandra_> @Joshua_Mayer try and you will see
[12:55] <trident523> kevin_: When you open synaptic without setting a password, they can still select software, and go to file -> generate package script.
[12:55] <Joshua_Mayer> How much diskspace does ubuntu need?
[12:55] <trident523> FrozenFire: shift-control-v/c
[12:55] <trident523> Joshua_Mayer: I'd suggest >8GB for reasonable use.
[12:55] <kevin_> trident523, alright thanks... perhaps that what I will direct them todo
[12:56] <FrozenFire> trident523: Nah, I mean like: echo -n text|gnome-clipboard-set or something
[12:56] <Alexandra_> depens on what you install
[12:56] <synthetiq> anyone get a umts-gprs-hpsda connection working with ubuntu on either a usb stick (with tmobile)  or nokia phone (tmobile or vodafone) ?
[12:56] <kevin_> Thanks all
[12:56] <vaibhav> I upgraded my kernel yesterday  and wireless stopped working, hardware drivers show that broadcom is not activated , and no luck
[12:56] <artti> Hello! Question: does anyone know which mediaplayer supports creating database(mysql, txt) of my music list.
[12:56] <trident523> rameshwo: hours, somewhere in the 4-9.
[12:56] <Zemy_> @synthetiq: I use 3G for internet now
[12:56] <Joshua_Mayer> I have just cleared out about 4gb from my hardrive so now I have 14gb or free space, so I think I have enough.
[12:57] <fccf> synthetiq: I have .
[12:57] <trident523> artti: Amarok always has.
[12:57] <nixiepixel> Joshua_Mayer - how much RAM do you have?
[12:57] <artti> trident523, not amarok2
[12:57] <rameshwo> oo...  i was thinkint to giveit a try but.. if it takes hours //////
[12:57] <Bacta> Is there any way of extracting meta data out of open office files? Do they even store meta data?
[12:57] <trident523> artti: you can always downgrade. :P
[12:57] <Joshua_Mayer> Hmm. I think I have 512.
[12:57] <pvandewyngaerde> Bacta, unzip them and read the xml files
[12:58] <artti> trident523, but anyother?
[12:58] <synthetiq> when i used my nokia  phones, i get complaints with ppp0 that the serial line is looped back, i then removed that check, but still no connection
[12:58] <Bacta> pvandewyngaerde: Will gzip suffice?
[12:58] <fccf> artti: campcaster does a really good job of it .. but right now you'd have to compile form svn
[12:58] <BlackHawk> hi, my fbpanel-menu lists the categories in english, but the program entries in german ... I want both in german ... so how can I get that? (the fbpanel menu creates the entries out of the .desktop files and in these desktop files the categories must have certain (english) names ...)
[12:58] <nixiepixel> Joshua_Mayer - if it turns out you don't have enough space, you may want to try one of the lighter Ubuntu versions, like Xubuntu, or Eeebuntu
[12:58] <pvandewyngaerde> Bacta: dont know, if not try unzip
[12:58] <pARAd0X85> hi
[12:58] <synthetiq> when i usehs0 connect using a umts umta stick, it connects, but only with tmmobiles propetiery stick, but all my packs are reported as filtered
[12:58] <synthetiq> is there anyways to circumvent the packet filetering
[12:59] <stevecam> unzip and gzip are two tottally different things
[12:59] <synthetiq> or somehow get my nokia phones to work?
[12:59] <Zemy_> synthetiq: you'll have to search online to find your answers. Its not always straight forward. I had to do a little voodoo but its up and running now, but it does drop of frequently
[12:59] <Joshua_Mayer> I think I'll have enough space since I am not installing anything new on Windows, and I'm getting another computer soon anyway.
[12:59] <synthetiq> zemy: what exactly are you using
[12:59] <Joshua_Mayer> I have a wierd question. Can Ubuntu be installed on an external harddrive, and then can you boot from it?
[12:59] <trident523> BlackHawk: "First you can check if you have all the translations installed on your system. The gnome packages are "language-pack-gnome-de" and "language-pack-gnome-de-base". The meta package "language-support-de" makes usually sure that all packages are installed."
[12:59] <Zemy_> Skypephone (S!)
[13:00] <trident523> synthetiq: yep. many protocals exist that redirect packets.
[13:00] <pARAd0X85> I am pleased to inform you about the new kernel native support of multitouch events (2.6.30), you can find more information here
[13:00] <pARAd0X85> http://www.lii-enac.fr/en/projects/shareit/linux.html
[13:00] <fccf> woo hoo multitouch
[13:00] <synthetiq> well the umts usb stick i have works with windows
[13:00] <synthetiq> but not with ubuntu
[13:00] <vaibhav> hey I upgraded to 2.6.30 and wireless stopped working
[13:01] <fccf> synthetiq: have you tried using wvdial and a custom connect script
[13:01] <Zemy_> synthetiq: there is a lot of info via google to get those sticks to play with ubuntu jaunty
[13:01] <trident523> synthetiq: Take a peek at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G ... see it there?
[13:01] <pARAd0X85> any comments ?
[13:01] <trident523> pARAd0X85: !ubuntu-ot | pARAd0X85
[13:01] <trident523> ... wait.
[13:01] <Zemy_> synthetiq : trident523 beat me to it!
[13:01] <synthetiq> i exhausted google guys, that is why i came ehre
[13:01] <synthetiq> :)
[13:02] <synthetiq> here
[13:02] <trident523> !ubuntu-ot| pARAd0X85
[13:02] <trident523> what?
[13:02] <Myrtti> pARAd0X85: did you have ubuntu support questions?
[13:02] <fccf> pARAd0X85: they are suggesting you move your comment to #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:02] <fccf> !ot
[13:02] <pARAd0X85> ok
[13:03] <Joshua_Mayer> Can Ubuntu be installed on an external harddrive, and then can you boot from it?
[13:03] <arian> by
[13:03] <BlackHawk> trident523: thank you, language-support-de was not installed :)
[13:03] <trident523> Joshua_Mayer: Almost always, unless your bios does not support it.
[13:03] <Flamik> Hi everyone! I'm kinda new to Linux(Ubuntu most recent version), I need to compile some code with g++ 3.4.0, how can I downgrade g++ ? (no need to keep current v.)
[13:03] <fccf> Joshua_Mayer: yes and yes if your bios supports booting from usb
[13:04] <fccf> Flamik: your question might be better answered in #gcc
[13:04] <pARAd0X85> what's the ubuntu offtopic channel ?
[13:04] <Rossiefox> Hello!
[13:04] <trident523> !ot | pARAd0X85

[13:04] <ab3l> hi, what's wrong in this rule http://lo.pastebin.com/m72ae0022 ? it's meant to map port 80 on gw machine to server in lanhost but doesn't works
[13:04] <killerboy> hello
[13:04] <Joshua_Mayer> I think my BIOS does support usb booting. If I did install it on a external hd, would GRUB let me choose to boot from Windows or ubuntu, or would I just have to choose where to boot from each time I want to use one or the other?
[13:04] <Flamik> fccf: ok, thanks
[13:05] <trident523> ab3l: are you sure you're inputting and outputting on the right interface?
[13:05] <ab3l> yes ppp0 is internet wan
[13:05] <ab3l> eth0 i lan
[13:05] <killerboy> how to turn off cursor in full screen games. Standard X cursor is seen in addition to game cursor. How to repair it?
[13:05] <dyllan> It is possible, & if so how, to install a firewall (linux: iptables), between my cisco router (which is also my gateway: <IP_ADDRESS>) & my LAN (<IP_ADDRESS>/24).
[13:06] <trident523> killerboy: the simple solution is to add the mouse locker to your panel, click that, and launch the game afterwards.
[13:06] <trident523> dyllan: You'd have to make your computer first in line to the internet, otherwise, it'd accomplish not a whole lot.
[13:07] <killerboy> trident523, mouse locker? what's that?
[13:07] <trident523> killerboy: add to panel -> pointer capture.
[13:07] <Roland123> killerboy: it locks the mouse in the current location orsmtg
[13:08] <killerboy> trident523, Roland123 ok, thanks

[13:09] <Rounin> Hello! Is there a way of stopping the update manager from popping up each time I run apt-get?
[13:09] <trident523> Rounin: update all your programs?
[13:10] <Rounin> Well, is there another way?
[13:10] <Rounin> I just want to not see the update manager under any circumstances, except if I start it myself
[13:10] <trident523> Rounin: You can disable it, I guess... I'll go look.
[13:10] <Rounin> Thanks!
[13:11] <Roland123> anyway.. i'm, having trouble with apache.. after adding files to /var/www and then trying to view them throuch a browser. i get 403 forbidden,  but it used to work ok. ( i haven't changed apache's configuration)
[13:11] <BlackHawk> trident523: installing language-support-de didn't help ... and both language-pack-gnome-de and language-pack-gnome-de-base were already installed
[13:11] <killerboy> it doesn't work :-(

[13:11] <trident523> Rounin: Updates ->Check for Updates [uncheck]
[13:12] <BlackHawk> trident523: kk^^ thanks for your help, it's not that important :)
[13:12] <fccf> killerboy: you have to configure mousetweaks to do what you want
[13:12] <trident523> killerboy: I;ve heard that it borks when compiz (desktop effects) are enabled.
[13:12] <Rounin> That seems to have done the trick, trident523; thank you so much
[13:12] <ralf_1985> hi

[13:13] <killerboy> trident523, i don't have compiz enabled

[13:14] <DjAngo23> Hey everyone. i'm using Ubuntu for about 2 month now, but suddenly it start beeing very slow. Any ideas ?
[13:14] <DjAngo23> Top doesn't  give me any relevant info
[13:14] <un|matrix> DjAngo23: Describe what you mean by slow more accurately  please
[13:14] <indus_> DjAngo23: try htop
[13:14] <indus_> DjAngo23: gives more info
[13:15] <artti> Is there any tool which helps me to import playlist info to mysql database or txt file.
[13:15] <blip-> I've got a SIG that's gone bad, how do I repair it ?
[13:15] <DjAngo23> un|matrix: Mean that application stop working (becomming gray, and not reacting), sometimes, when i type texte i have to wait 2 seconds tilll it show up.
[13:15] <sydneyguy> Guys .. If my hostname is server01 .. and my domain is test.com
[13:15] <DjAngo23> But it is not related to one program
[13:15] <linduxed> my master volume always starts at 0 after reboot
[13:15] <AnAnt> Hello, the boot messages that are on tty8 , don't they get logged to any file ?!
[13:16] <indus_> DjAngo23: more details please
[13:16] <sydneyguy> What should be in the /etc/bind/db.test.com file
[13:16] <sydneyguy> server01.test.com or test.com
[13:16] <linduxed> its not a big deal, but i was wondering if anyone is aware of this issue?
[13:16] <killerboy> fccf, how to configure mousetweaks?
[13:16] <un|matrix> DjAngo23: top doesn't show anything when an application turns grey?
[13:16] <indus_> linduxed: what issue
[13:16] <blip-> linduxed: maybe you can save the session on logout and thus force the master to obey you
[13:17] <indus_> nvm
[13:17] <fccf> killerboy: you need to install assistive technologies -- required by mouse tweaks ... I am not running gnome so I cannot help further - -E17 is where I am right now
[13:17] <linduxed> blip-: well in my case i cant rely on the save session feature since i dont run gnome all the time
[13:17] <sydneyguy> Is the host nameis considered part of FQDN
[13:17] <linduxed> blip-: besides, this seems to be an alsa thing
[13:17] <sydneyguy> Is the hostname is considered part of FQDN
[13:18] <linduxed> indus_: /lastlog linduxed
[13:18] <killerboy> fccf, ok
[13:18] <killerboy> thank you everybody
[13:18] <magnetron> www.google.com. is FQDN
[13:18] <blip-> linduxed: hmm I don't see how alsa would do this, try to restart alsa now and see if it goes back to zero  'sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart'
[13:18] <DjAngo23> un|matrix: The applications stops for about 10 seconds a comes back. same for for exemple rythmebox. I'm installing htop
[13:18] <zek152> http://pastebin.com/m190a7cf0, thats what happens when i try to run netbook-launcher
[13:19] <blip-> linduxed: you may also be able to simply issue a command in your startup script to set the desired volume
[13:19] <DjAngo23> indus_: What info should i give when i installed htop ?
[13:19] <artti> Is there any tool which helps me to import playlist info to mysql database or txt file.
[13:19] <indus_> DjAngo23: just run it
[13:19] <DjAngo23> ok
[13:19] <sydneyguy> SO if my hostname is server01 .. how can I configure my dns.. it is gionna be ns.server01.test.com
[13:19] <indus_> DjAngo23: i once had a guest session using resources and htop showed it
[13:19] <ziiee> Hello
[13:19] <indus_> yes it has many options
[13:19] <sydneyguy> or just ns.test.com .. and i leave server01 out of it
[13:19] <indus_> but man htop will tell that
[13:19] <blip-> ziiee: hellos
[13:20] <Valentinex> is there any software with which I we can do LAN chat between Windows and Linux users?
[13:20] <indus_> Valentinex: what you mean lan chat?
[13:20] <rexwin> wine + ANY LAN messenger
[13:20] <Valentinex> indus_: networking chat
[13:20] <Valentinex> rexwin: really that will work?
[13:20] <ziiee> How does this work? Do i just ask for help :P I dont wanna be disrespecful or anything.
[13:21] <Pici> ziiee: just ask ;)
[13:21] <Pici> !ask
[13:21] <ziiee> :)
[13:21] <Roland123> how to restart a process?
[13:21] <TehFlash> hello
[13:21] <Roland123> like apache?
[13:21] <Valentinex> and what messenger to do lan linux to linux chat?
[13:22] <indus_> Roland123: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[13:22] <matrixblue> Roland123, sudo /etc/init.d/process restart
[13:22] <milligan_> apt-get is trying to use ipv6.. how can I make it not ?
[13:23] <indus_> milligan_: how do you know it is?
[13:23] <Pici> Valentinex: Do you mean like aim/msn/yahoo messengers?
[13:23] <milligan_> indus_, 56% [Connecting to no.archive.ubuntu.com (2001:700:300:1800::b)] looks very ipv6ish to me
[13:23] <ziiee> I have a laptop with an old Radeon 9700 card. I was messing around with the add/remove application. I wanted to upgrade my graphics drivers although the old ones worked just fine.  Well i searched for radeon i got the ATI driver something something. So i clicked it and it installed now when i start the laptop the screen is all flickery and i cant se anything. Right now im on a livecd on the laptop.
[13:23] <Valentinex> Pici: yes
[13:24] <matrixblue> ziiee, are you using Jaunty?
[13:24] <Pici> Valentinex: There are clients for Linux that can interact with those mediums, such as Pidgin.
[13:24] <indus_> Valentinex: then pidgin should work ?
[13:24] <Gilgha> hi
[13:24] <ziiee> Is that Ubuntu 9.04?
[13:24] <DjAngo23> indus_: It is that slow.. It is still installing htop
[13:24] <Gilgha> I've got a big problem
[13:24] <Valentinex> Pici: how that will work to chat between networking users
[13:24] <Gilgha> grub starts in command line !
[13:24] <Gilgha> so I have to boot manually
[13:25] <ziiee> I am using Ubuntu 9.04
[13:25] <indus_> Gilgha: what it means grub starts in command line?
[13:25] <matrixblue> ziiee, yeah say my name in a message so I can know you;re taking toi me
[13:25] <ziiee> ohh sorry. dont know the protocoll
[13:25] <Pici> Valentinex: It would work the same way as if you had two Windows computers running aim.
[13:25] <indus_> DjAngo23: under system >admin>system monitor whatdoes it show under resources
[13:25] <ziiee> matrixblue, sorry
[13:25] <fccf> !guidelines | ziiee
[13:25] <Valentinex> Pici: i do not want aim, i want lan chat.... wait like this http://www.outlookmessenger.com/
[13:26] <Gilgha> it means that when I start my computer, grub doesn't start with the list of my differents os but in command line
[13:26] <matrixblue> ziiee, the problem is that ATI dropped support for older cards in the Xorg that comes with Jaunty. So the closed sourced drivers from ATI don't work
[13:26] <wtl> !ipod
[13:26] <ziiee> matrixblue, how do i then go back to the old drivers?
[13:26] <indus_> Gilgha: aah thats easy wait
[13:27] <DjAngo23> CPU1 : 32% and CPU2 23%  | Memoriy 40%  Swap 0.1%
[13:27] <matrixblue> ziiee, run these three commands http://paste.ubuntu.com/193406/
[13:27] <KingOfDos|lap> can someone explain why X isn't starting?
[13:27] <nixiepixel> Eww, the Ubuntu community documentation tells you to run Windows in virtualbox to sync an iPhone?  :P
[13:28] <Pici> Valentinex: One way would be to setup your own Jabber server, there are many clients that support that protocol.
[13:28] <matrixblue> ziiee, you have to boot into recovery mode then run those
[13:28] <DjAngo23> indus_: Htop looks quite okay aswell
[13:28] <blip-> ubottu: sup
[13:28] <KingOfDos|lap> i'm having a problem on a embedded x86 device, with build-in TFT panel
[13:28] <blip-> ubottu: gpgerr
[13:28] <indus_> DjAngo23: maybe your ram is sc****ed
[13:28] <fccf> !msgthebot | blip
[13:28] <matrixblue> ziiee, select recovery mode from the grub menu then select drop to root shell
[13:28] <DjAngo23> indus_: Grr, can i test that easaly ?
[13:28] <KingOfDos|lap> after i'd configured the /boot/grub/menu.lst for the right resolution, the console worked "ok"
[13:29] <Valentinex> Pici: that jabber server will work when i will be without internet ?
[13:29] <indus_> DjAngo23: how about windows,does it work ok?
[13:29] <ziiee> matrixblue, i tried booting into recovery mode but i get a blue list and there are some options there. for example. boot normaly. fix graphics problem or something.
[13:29] <DjAngo23> indus_: Cauz it could be that, i had 2 times this eek that my laptip shuts down because of to high temperature :S
[13:29] <KingOfDos|lap> but if i'm trying to start X now, it just will give a white screen (i'd guess that's the DPMS turn-off signal, or something that the TFT isn't supporting)
[13:29] <matrixblue> ziiee, select root shell from that menu
[13:29] <indus_> DjAngo23: aah ok ok tell me ur config
[13:29] <Pici> Valentinex: I think so..
[13:29] <matrixblue> ziiee, then you can type those commands there and you should be set
[13:29] <G-ilgha> indus_, have you got a solution ?
[13:29] <DjAngo23> indus_: I did work okay, but after 6 months it was slow aswell, but more because of the programs i think
[13:29] <ziiee> matrixblue, thank you so much :)
[13:30] <matrixblue> ziiee, anytime :)
[13:30] <gschmidt01> I am having trouble with java applets on my bank website

[13:33] <grandemahatma> hallo I'm running matlab and it complains with the following: /home/ale/programs/matlab/sys/os/glnx86/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6) But I have installed gcc4.2 with synaptic (I already had 4.3) and it is still not working... could somebody help me?
[13:33] <X11> Hello...
[13:33] <gschmidt01> i get that together and log back on
[13:33] <jribindisguise> grandemahatma: I don't use matlab, but there is a wiki article on its use in ubuntu.  Have you checked it out?
[13:33] <indus_> Gilgha: right now how are you booting?
[13:33] <N9NU> http://paste.ubuntu.com/193410/
[13:33] <N9NU> that is the URL
[13:34] <N9NU> for the paste
[13:34] <grandemahatma> jribindisguise: were is it?
[13:34] <grandemahatma> where
[13:34] <shiznebit> jribindisguise: basically a program thats part of the actual wallpaper, so that it can't be minimized
[13:34] <jribindisguise> N9NU: are you using any software outside of the official default repositories?
[13:34] <G-ilgha> indus_, i boot manually
[13:34] <G-ilgha> by typing the command in the command line :p
[13:35] <indus_> Gilgha: manually as in?
[13:35] <G-ilgha> as in:
[13:35] <jribindisguise> grandemahatma: help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB
[13:35] <G-ilgha> root(hd0,2)
[13:35] <indus_> Gilgha: lol
[13:35] <indus_> Gilgha: try a sudo update-grub
[13:35] <G-ilgha> kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3
[13:35] <DjAngo23> indus_: Did you found something ?
[13:35] <grandemahatma> jribindisguise: thanks
[13:35] <G-ilgha> and so on
[13:35] <N9NU> negative....im using the HP-HPLP one
[13:35] <G-ilgha> i've tryed
[13:35] <indus_> DjAngo23: nope
[13:35] <N9NU> and just cups
[13:35] <G-ilgha> but it didn't work
[13:36] <indus_> Gilgha: paste grub menu.list
[13:36] <jribindisguise> N9NU: you are using cups outside of the repositories?
[13:36] <jribindisguise> !who | N9NU
[13:36] <DjAngo23> indus_: Which log are import to look into if any problem occurs ?
[13:36] <grandemahatma> jribindisguise: no the solution is still there.
[13:36] <indus_> DjAngo23: try dmesg
[13:36] <N9NU> negative jribindisguise
[13:36] <grandemahatma> but I think it's a problem of the compiler, not of matlab.
[13:36] <jribindisguise> shiznebit: I'm still not sure what you are trying to accomplish but try looking into devilspie
[13:37] <TheYeti> grandemahatma: well, what does gcc --version say?
[13:37] <N9NU> i can try to uninstall cups and re-install
[13:37] <wiehan> Can some one please tell me how to update to firefox 3.5 in ubuntu jaunty?
[13:37] <G-ilgha> here is my menu.lst http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/src-16313
[13:37] <grandemahatma> TheYeti: 4.3.2
[13:37] <Pici> wiehan: install the firefox-3.5 package would be a good start
[13:37] <grandemahatma> TheYeti: how can I change it?
[13:38] <wiehan> Pici: well, thanks, didn't know tht was the package name
[13:38] <indus_> Gilgha:sexy menu.list lol never seen anything like it :)
[13:38] <DjAngo23> indus_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/193414/
[13:38] <G-ilgha> what's wrong with it indus_
[13:38] <indus_> Gilgha: looks huge
[13:39] <G-ilgha> make automaticaly by update-grub i think
[13:39] <Maximo> hi, question how do I stop a little application that I executed using Alt+f2 "free the fish" without quotes?
[13:39] <G-ilgha> *made
[13:39] <indus_> Gilgha: did u make a custom kernel?
[13:39] <bloooooomer> hey
[13:39] <G-ilgha> no I'm using the 2.6.28 kernel
[13:39] <G-ilgha> and testing the 2.6.29
[13:39] <DjAngo23> indus_: What should i search for ?
[13:40] <indus_> DjAngo23: i dont know this
[13:40] <wiehan> G-ilgha: 2.6.30 has been released
[13:40] <X11> grandemahatma: libgcc_s.so.xx is not found on the native Ubuntu 9.04 installation, while curren gcc 4.3.2 uses libgcc1, not libgcc_s
[13:40] <Maximo> hi, question how do I stop a little application that I executed using Alt+f2 "free the fish" without quotes?
[13:40] <G-ilgha> wiehan, officially ?
[13:40] <Pici> Maximo: killall gnome-panel
[13:41] <Pici> Maximo: it will restart itself
[13:41] <grandemahatma> X11: so...?
[13:41] <wiehan> G-ilgha: I think so, just read the article on the net.. There's a joke about one regression: Tuz to Tux
[13:41] <indus_> Gilgha: is it a wubi install
[13:41] <Maximo> Pici: thanks alot let me try it
[13:41] <G-ilgha> i don't know what's a wubi install :p
[13:42] <indus_> Gilgha: what is that xen line in the list?
[13:42] <DjAngo23> Hey everyone. i'm using Ubuntu for about 2 month now, but suddenly it start beeing very slow. Any ideas ? Nothing strang in htop...
[13:43] <Phazzer> Linux blows
[13:43] <TheYeti> DjAngo23: Please describe what you mean by slow?  Might help narrow down what the problem is.
[13:43] <jribindisguise> Phazzer: do you have an ubuntu-related support question?
[13:43] <G-ilgha> indus_, I don't know my menu.lst was made automaticaly
[13:43] <Phazzer> Do I need one?
[13:43] <indus_> Gilgha: ok
[13:44] <jribindisguise> Phazzer: if you wish to discuss something here, yes
[13:44] <Phazzer> Ain't that a slap in the testicals
[13:44] <DjAngo23> TheYeti: Application become gray, and unaccesssible, when i'm typing sometimes i have to wait for 2-3-4 seconds before text aprears, and when switching apps, it takes 4 seconds to react
[13:45] <indus_> Gilgha: i suggest you use live cd and fix it
[13:45] <Maximo> Pici: gone ...no more
[13:45] <Maximo> thanks
[13:45] <X11> grandemahatma: one moment please, I try to browse, cause I never heard about lbgcc_s, all I know only libgcc1 that as part of gcc compiler
[13:45] <indus_> Gilgha: or otherwise from inside the system
[13:45] <N9NU> jribindisguise: found the problem with the printer......python error for some reason....fixed now
[13:45] <macvr> testing...
[13:45] <indus_> Gilgha: a few steps only
[13:45] <Gilgha> how ?
[13:46] <indus_> sudo grub
[13:46] <grandemahatma> X11: ok..
[13:46] <indus_> ok wait i give u link
[13:46] <TheYeti> DjAngo23: Do you keep any kind of load monitor running that might show you when you are getting cpu spikes so you can check top or ps?   That could honestly be any number of things from not enough ram, running out of cpu cycles, to a hdd failing.
[13:46] <kewl1> Hei ubottu, do u think you re so smart, yeah??? So listen me.  Because my partition is an ext4 so my Ubuntu 8.10 live CD can't mount it
[13:47] <DjAngo23> I haven't, but everything can be install, which one do you have in mind ?
[13:47] <DjAngo23> TheYeti: htop ?
[13:47] <jribindisguise> grandemahatma: try http://www.mathworks.de/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/136492 ?
[13:47] <indus_> gilgha hmm dont know about ext4 but yes it can be done inside
[13:47] <indus_> !grub
[13:48] <Gilgha> how can I fix it ?
[13:48] <TheYeti> DjAngo23: I know there is a gnome panel applet that will show you like your cpu statistics, or keeping htop or top open.   Keep in mind though that those can sometimes affect your system speed if you keep them running constantly
[13:48] <indus_> Gilgha: but its live cd method
[13:48] <Gilgha> "sudo grub" is exactly the same command line I have when grub loads
[13:49] <kewl1> !Hei ubottu, do u think you re so smart, yeah??? So listen me.  It can boot vista or grub and then I can boot Ubuntu
[13:50] <DjAngo23> TheYeti: Hum, well, i will take a look at that and try to find out
[13:51] <indus_> Gilgha: grub cant properly find the menu.list i think
[13:51] <kewl1> Myrtti, why  man? take easy,..free your mind too!!!]
[13:51] <indus_> Gilgha: i think try setup grub again
[13:51] <kewl1> Myrtti, let me play arround!!! :P
[13:51] <Gilgha> it did it well yesterday :p
[13:51] <Gilgha> how can I setup grub ?
[13:51] <indus_> that link i gave u
[13:52] <indus_> Gilgha: live cd
[13:52] <Gilgha> I've tryed to reinstall it but it didn't work
[13:52] <TheYeti> DjAngo23: Sorry couldn't be of more help.  Unfortunately without more info there are just to many things it could be.  Hopefully you can narrow it down though and see if any logs are being spewed forth or if a certain process is just going wonky
[13:52] <indus_> Gilgha: what do u mean install it?
[13:52] <Gilgha> sudo apt-get remove then sudo apt-get install
[13:52] <Myrtti> kewl1: you're disturbing the channel. you can investigate the bot in /msg with it, if you want.
[13:53] <indus_> Gilgha: no not that
[13:53] <kewl1> okok
[13:53] <indus_> Gilgha: reconfigure grub
[13:53] <indus_> Gilgha: check the link i gave u
[13:54] <X11> grandemahatma: libgcc_s probably part of the change nowadays GCC project but it is not published yet, I try to search on debian.org and packages.ubuntu.com but negative result. Only libgcc1 that is found.
[13:54] <Gilgha> i'll try that now but are you sure I can do this with my 8.10 Live CD, Jaunty is installed on an ext4 partition and 8.10 can't mount ext4 partition
[13:54] <grandemahatma> X11: yep
[13:54] <indus_> Gilgha:from inside system type sudo grub
[13:54] <grandemahatma> X11: now it works
[13:54] <Gilgha> understood :p
[13:54] <grandemahatma> X11: I followed the instruction I found on the site you gave me
[13:54] <Gilgha> I'm trying right now
[13:54] <grandemahatma> X11: thanks a lot!
[13:55] <indus_> Gilgha: so u arrive at a prompt like so grub>
[13:55] <X11> grandemahatma: oops! congratulation...

[14:01] <Nava2> I can't get back to the terminal boot w/e its called.
[14:01] <Nava2> The shortcuts wont work
[14:01] <Gilgha> so setup (hd0) works
[14:01] <indus_> Gilgha: also remember its hd zero not the letter o
[14:01] <Nava2> and now I cannot do anything on my computer except run terminal things.
[14:01] <Nava2> -_-
[14:01] <indus_> Gilgha: ok great
[14:01] <Gilgha> yes I know indus_
[14:01] <indus_> Gilgha: ok noq type quit

[14:23] <mick_laptop> hi everyone, i'd like to (on the creation of a new user) copy over a file to their Desktop. What changes to /etc/skel would i need to make for it to poy it over?
[14:24] <usser> enthbott, hm why are using find if you're not interested in found filenames :)
[14:24] <mick_laptop> s/poy/copy/
[14:24] <blackghost> nothing return error
[14:24] <usser> Katarn, use pcmanfm desktop support instead of nautilus's
[14:24] <rob_p> Kingsy101, What's the last thing you did, added, or changed on your system before it started doing that?  Have you checked the logfiles for clues?
[14:24] <enthbott> I'm writing a backup script.
[14:24] <Katarn> it uses pcmanfm instead of nautilus to open the disk
[14:25] <Kingsy101> rob_p - tbh I cant remember .. its probably been a week or so since I turned it on
[14:25] <Kingsy101> I havnt checked the log files, I don
[14:25] <Kingsy101> t know how
[14:25] <Kingsy101> like I said I cant get into the operasting system
[14:25] <rob_p> Kingsy101, They will be located in /var/log
[14:25] <Kingsy101> operating
[14:25] <usser> Katarn, is there a menu called open with when you right click on the icon
[14:25] <enthbott> mebe I should rephrase: I want find to output something like '/home/enthdegree/' as opposed to
[14:25] <beli> mick_laptop: just put the file there
[14:25] <Kingsy101> I cant get access
[14:26] <enthbott> '/home/enthdegree/thing.file/'
[14:26] <rob_p> Kingsy101, If you can get to the command prompt, you have access to the OS.
[14:26] <Kingsy101> like I said before, it asks for a login / password after I enter the correct stuff in it just goes back to asking for a login/password
[14:27] <deluxor> Hello alll!!
[14:27] <Katarn> usser: i have 2 choices: simply "open" and "open with filemanager"
[14:27] <Kingsy101> if I enter the wrong password it says invalid password

[14:28] <Katarn> enthbott: so u suggest to uninstall nautilus kompletely?
[14:28] <artti> I downloaded amarok 1.4 and now i'm trying to compile it. There is command 'make' What i do with it.
[14:28] <rob_p> Kingsy101, You said GDM was bailing out and dropping to a command prompt... at least that's what I thought you said.  Nonetheless, you can CTRL-ALT-F1 from a graphical environment to get a shell.  Or you can boot in single user mode.
[14:28] <usser> Katarn, i dont think its possible if you uninstall nautilus it will pull most of the gnome with it
[14:29] <usser> artti, amarok uses Qmake
[14:29] <mick_laptop> beli: put the file where?
[14:29] <Katarn> usser: thats what i thought
[14:29] <ircnickiuse> trident523, I've read that - but the issue isn't resolved!
[14:29] <bove> are there any alive web interface projects for proftpd?
[14:29] <mick_laptop> beli: in /etc/skel/
[14:29] <beli> mick_laptop: in the skel dir
[14:29] <trident523> artti: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware ?
[14:29] <mick_laptop> ok cool thanks!
[14:29] <Kingsy101> rob_p - I did, like I said the command prompt is asking for a username/password.. and it wont let me log in
[14:29] <artti> usser, well install readme says make.
[14:29] <trident523> ircnickiuse: So, there's no default session when you VNC? What exactly does it do?
[14:30] <cowgarden> hi, I have 1500 files, numbered (file1 file2...) but 2 in the series are missing. can I search for them somehow?

[14:30] <Befuddled> Ok I was playing around yesterday trying to make my desktop more appealing and I accidentally got rid of my wireless signal indicator in the upper right.  I can't figure out how to get it back!  Anybody help?
[14:30] <rob_p> Kingsy101, Well, if you can't get in with your username/password, then you will need to boot in single user mode and reset your password.
[14:30] <Befuddled> using 9.04
[14:30] <usser> artti, here scroll down to generating a make file http://web.mit.edu/qt/www/qmake-manual-3.html

[14:30] <Kingsy101> rob_p - how do I do that?
[14:30] <trident523> Befuddled: right click panel => add to panel => notification area
[14:31] <beli> cowgarden: files on the web? or files on your harddrive?

[14:31] <rob_p> Kingsy101, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+single+user+mode

[14:33] <beli> cowgarden: you have file1 file2 file4 and you want to print out that file3 is missing?
[14:33] <w0ls0n>                 but that doesn't seem to work. My only workaround is to remove the

[14:33] <cowgarden> beli, I generated many numerized files, but 2 times I got an error and no file was created, now I have to find those 2 gaps in my series
[14:33] <w0ls0n>                 vmware server 2.0 and then it works fine. I even went as far as

[14:35] <w0ls0n> the any-any patch eh?

[14:36] <usser> w0ls0n, any-to-any patch might not be neccessary since it worked for you before, you just have to rebuild the kernel modules since you've updated the kernel

[14:36] <Darmiel> There is an instruction on installation Ubuntu with USB Flash in Russian?

[14:36] <sky_1> usser: yes ftp client
[14:36] <trident523> sky_1: lftp ?
[14:37] <cowgarden> Darmiel, http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/install-linux-with-ease-using-unetbootin/ thats english, but you might want to search for [install in russian] ubuntu unetbootin
[14:37] <usser> sky_1, ftp, is the ftp client for console
