[15:15] <ampex> flint: I'm looking to split the compressed output among many DVD-Rs, so I need to split at certain a certain filesize, I don't believe tar+gzip can natively do this?

[15:16] <Yodude> Hey i have a SERIOUS problem ! i accidentily killed my friend's usb pendrive while trying to make it linux-bootable, it's not not even showing up when i do "lspci", what can i do ?
[15:16] <Vixen_> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an external HD, I can't repartition the drive as it says it is "mounted". Can someone explain this, and how to fix it so I can repartition and install ubuntu with out damaging my internal HDs at all?
[15:16] <flint> ampex, look at partimage or mondo mindi.
[15:17] <flint> ampex I gotta go.
[15:17] <ubuntu> I have formatted a reiserfs partition to an ext3 partition. Is there anyway to recover some info? I mean, I would like if possible, to recover some stuff I had in reiserfs
[15:17] <pike_> Yodude: hide
[15:17] <bobbyd> Vixen_: right-click the external drive and select "unmount"
[15:17] <ubuntu> is it possible?
[15:17] <wols> mounted drives are the ones you can access Vixen_
[15:17] <elde1> Yodude: buy a new one. lol
[15:17] <Yodude> elde1: no really is it fixable ?
[15:17] <wols> ubuntu: no
[15:17] <elde1> Yodude: well what happend?
[15:17] <bobbyd> wols: need to unmount the drive to repartition
[15:17] <ubuntu> wols: thanks
[15:17] <Vixen_> bobbyd, wols: I'll then be able to repartition?
[15:17] <wols> Yodude: you shouldn't be able to kill it that way. and it will never show up in lspci
[15:18] <Omer_> ampex: try 7-zip, you can just apt-get or dl it from 7-zip.org
[15:18] <wols> Yodude: plug the device in and run "dmesg"
[15:18] <kbrooks> Yodude, it shows up in "lsusb"
[15:18] <wols> Vixen_: when it's unmounted: yes
[15:18] <Yodude> elde1: kbrooks: no it doesn't show up in lsusb anymore
[15:19] <Vixen_> wols: cheers, will I then be able to partition it into separate drives for linux and windows?
[15:19] <wols> Yodude: unplug the stick. reboot the machaine (cold boot). plug it back in. check dmesg
[15:19] <Gpalco> UbuntuGeeks! Q to you: How can I tell Ubuntu which IP to use in case it fales to receive one from a DHCP server ??? (Special thank you to Jowi_n1 and c9s who helped me learn how to specify one in addition the one given by DHCP! That's an amazing feature, but it only works if DHCP server DOES respond)
[15:19] <pike_> Yodude: lsusb will show it also dmesg | tail if you unplug replug
[15:19] <elde1> Yodude: its not one of those pen drives with the on off switches is it?
[15:19] <Yodude> elde1: no, it doesn't have any buttons
[15:20] <elde1> Yodude: then i would use pike's and wols advice
[15:20] <Yodude> elde1: when i plug it in the Os first detectsit and mounts irt and then after like 10 seconds it automatically unmounts it

[15:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pgp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[15:21] <Yodude> pike_: what does dmesg do ?

[15:21] <v3ctor> np
[15:22] <Yodude> wols: that's the problem, it's like shutting down after 10 seconds ! it's not a partition problem, cuz after 10 seconds of plugging it in the OS doesn't even recognize the device, and GParted doesn't even show iut
[15:22] <pvt_harv> hi guys, why can't i install clamtk (and clamav) using apt-get? it constantly displays that dependencies are not met. apt-get should have installed them too right? using synaptic, i've got the same error
[15:23] <whochismo> Hello! Can anyone tell me a way to make ubuntu use the ATI free driver? i updated the rectricted one and now i cannot start my session (unless in failsave mode)
[15:23] <simion314> where can i find the output from the boot time?
[15:23] <poningru_> whochismo, which one do you have?
[15:23] <Yodude> any ideas ?
[15:23] <poningru_> simion314, /var/log/messages or dmesg
[15:23] <pvt_harv> hi guys, why can't i install clamtk (and clamav) using apt-get? it constantly displays that dependencies are not met. apt-get should have installed them too right? using synaptic, i've got the same error
[15:23] <whochismo> what card? an ATI mobility radeon X600
[15:23] <wols> if the OS first assigns it a device and later disassaigns the device names there will be errors. please paste the dmesg outout
[15:23] <whochismo> and ubuntu 7.10

[15:24] <whochismo> i tried to reinstall the restricted drivers that existed in ubuntu, but they don't work anymore
[15:24] <poningru_> whochismo, hmm is that an r300?
[15:24] <poningru_> whochismo, hold on
[15:24] <pike_> Yodude: i have trouble with usb and my main box. if you have a lappy or something you might try in in another machine also
[15:24] <Yodude> wols: the problem is that i don't have the usb with me anymore
[15:24] <bakarat> hi, for some reason when i try to write something to an usb stick, it will first cache whatever i want to do, and only once i unmount it, will it start writing, this is _very_ annoying
[15:24] <bakarat> what is the reasoning behind this and how can i stop it?
[15:25] <YouKnowMe> I'm trying to ssh into my chumby, which doesn't have a password, but I keep getting asked for one. I'm hoping this is a prob with my ssh client. Help?
[15:25] <wols> bakarat: mount it synced
[15:25] <Dr_willis> bakarat,  speed,  is the reason.
[15:25] <Yodude> pike_: it's not working on any computer i plug it into, wether it was Linux/Mac/Windows
[15:25] <bakarat> wols: it automounts, how can i change this?
[15:25] <wols> Yodude: what OS does this chumby run?
[15:25] <Dr_willis> actually ive sene windows do similer things.  :)
[15:25] <bakarat> Dr_willis: could you explain?
[15:25] <Vlet> YouKnowMe: your chumby?
[15:25] <bobbyd> bakarat: the reasoning is that it extends the life of your flash device because if you decide to write wiles and move them around, then delete them etc. you're shortening the life of your device
[15:25] <Dr_willis> bakarat,  it caches the writes so it can do them all at once in one big write = more efficient.
[15:25] <bakarat> Vlet: a rather useless but populair device :)
[15:26] <pike_> Yodude: i have to go sorry. screencast time. good luck
[15:26] <Vlet> bakarat: ahh :)
[15:26] <YouKnowMe> vlet, small networked computer
[15:26] <Yodude> wols: doesn't matter, i testted and it doesn't work on XP and Vista and Ubuntu
[15:26] <bobbyd> bakarat: what's the problem you have with it?
[15:26] <Dr_willis> bakarat,  also watch out for .Trash type directories getting made when you delete things.
[15:26] <poningru_> whochismo, ah ok here we go thats a rv380
[15:26] <whochismo> i tried to uninstall the restricted drivers (to see if gnome automatically used the free ones) but that was not the case
[15:26] <poningru_> need to do research
[15:26] <Yodude> pike_: thanks for the help anyway
[15:26] <poningru_> hold on
[15:26] <bobbyd> bakarat: you can force it to write the data by giving it "sync" from the command line
[15:26] <Vlet> YouKnowMe: what client are you using?
[15:26] <Yodude> so anybody has any ideas ?
[15:26] <bakarat> bobbyd: well for one, it takes a longer time then you would expect (since it only starts once you want to stop) and the latter has seemingly broken a flash drive of my m8
[15:27] <bakarat> bobbyd: another mate pulled it out after unmounting, but it was only then starting to write
[15:27] <YouKnowMe> vlet, OpenSSH_4.6p1 Debian-5build1, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007
[15:27] <Dr_willis> bakarat,  ive done similer things under windows also. :)
[15:27] <xalanthyr__> Hi, I've got a problem - every time I log in i get the same message - "user's $HOME/.dmrc is being ignored". What's wrong?
[15:27] <whochismo> poningru, sorry, what do you mean with "r380" is it the version of the driver?
[15:27] <bobbyd> bakarat: I'm pretty sure windows does the same when you "safely remove hardware" no?
[15:27] <Vlet> YouKnowMe: then I would guess that it's the chumby asking for a password
[15:28] <bakarat> bobbyd: i doubt it a bit, since i've always been able to pull it out immediatly in windows, whereas in linux if you have a big file waiting, it will take a long while
[15:28] <Dr_willis> windows and its 'safely remove hardware' right now - tells me i can remove my internal SATA drive.. still not sure how. :P
[15:28] <Yodude> elde1: so is it doomed or what ?
[15:28] <Yodude> god i feel so guilty
[15:29] <bakarat> Dr_willis: i never said windows was perfect, far from it ;) i'm just saying i haven't had the same problem in windows :D
[15:29] <Dr_willis> You are NOT supposed to idmentaly pull it out on windows either. :)
[15:29] <Gpalco> I cannot believe Ubuntu doesn't have the "alternative configuration" feature in network setup like in Windows!
[15:29] <YouKnowMe> vlet, hmm, it shouldn't be. I followed the wiki and supposedly if I log into it as root there's no password.. well that sucks..
[15:29] <pvt_harv> wols: here's the apt-get output: http://pastebin.com/d77221747
[15:29] <DSpair> Gpalco: What do you mean? You can do that.
[15:29] <poningru_> whochismo, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[15:30] <bakarat> Dr_willis: bobbyd is there a way to change a setting or something so it is automounted as synced?
[15:30] <DSpair> Gpalco: It's just different. It does the same thing, but the UI is different.
[15:30] <Yodude> wols: so do you think it's totally dead ? or is there hope for it ?
[15:30] <poningru_> whochismo, x600 is just the marketing term of the card
[15:30] <Vlet> YouKnowMe: Perhaps they mean "the password is blank". I doubt it will simply not ask for one.
[15:30] <whochismo> poningru, my intention is to install the free driver (in order to be able to login again), and then to use the restricted driver again
[15:30] <whochismo> oh, ok
[15:30] <whochismo> thnx
[15:31] <whochismo> i'll have a look
[15:31] <poningru_> whochismo, why do you want to use the restricted  driver?
[15:31] <pvt_harv> wols: here's the apt-get output: http://pastebin.com/d77221747
[15:31] <poningru_> the free one will work
[15:31] <Gpalco> DSpair, I have a Q to you: How can I tell Ubuntu which IP to use in case it fales to receive one from a DHCP server ??? (Special thank you to Jowi_n1 and c9s who helped me learn how to specify one in addition the one given by DHCP! That's an amazing feature, but it only works if DHCP server DOES respond)
[15:31] <whochismo> poningru, to be able to use compiz, and some 3D games
[15:31] <bluephantom> ^_________________^
[15:31] <whochismo> with the free driver they don't work
[15:31] <poningru_> whochismo, you can use compiz with the free driver
[15:31] <poningru_> just do what it says on there
[15:31] <wols> pvt_harv: apt-cache policy clamav
[15:31] <Mike1> lol
[15:31] <whochismo> are you sure?
[15:32] <wols> !info clamav
[15:32] <ubotu> clamav: antivirus scanner for Unix. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.91.2-3ubuntu2.1 (gutsy), package size 856 kB, installed size 1284 kB
[15:32] <whochismo> ok, i'll try
[15:32] <poningru_> and it will work with the free drive
[15:32] <poningru_> I just linked you to
[15:32] <whochismo> if it works, i'll keep using the free one
[15:32] <bakarat> Dr_willis: bobbyd or better yet, have a choice whether a file should be written immediatly (like a big 500+ meg file that takes very long if cached) while shorter files can be cached to save flash drive?
[15:32] <carina> openoffice doesnt start on my machine anyone know whats wrong?, the openoffice logo comes up but nothing happends after awhile
[15:32] <Mike1> carina: what happens when you start it via terminal?
[15:33] <carina> how u start it via terminal_
[15:33] <carina> ?
[15:33] <pvt_harv> wols: here's the output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50596/
[15:33] <Mike1> carina: for example with  the command 'ooffice -writer'
[15:34] <Mike1> carina: or 'ooffice -impress' for OO Impress
[15:34] <MikeH> I'm having troubles with firefox and java, applets just come up grey as if they're not loaing
[15:34] <carina> ** (process:5418): WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit
[15:34] <carina> that the error message i get
[15:35] <YouKnowMe> vlet, even leaving it blank don't work. But I agree with you. I guess there's no way to do it then, dang, I'll hop over to the chumby forums. Thanks.
[15:35] <poningru_> carina, reinstall it
[15:35] <poningru_> through synaptic
[15:35] <carina> okey
[15:35] <pvt_harv> wols: here's the output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50596/
[15:35] <wols> pvt_harv: seen it. there is a clamav..
[15:36] <pvt_harv> wols: so what could possibly the problem?
[15:36] <wols> pvt_harv: list those missing dependencies explicitly on your apt-get install line
[15:36] <wols> you shouldn't have to do that however
[15:36] <IndyGunFreak> why not just go ahead an use synaptic to install it?
[15:36] <siakattackj> one question pls!!!
[15:36] <carina> where do lookit up as?
[15:36] <wols> pvt_harv: maybe one of the other dependencies but unlikely. but then, its universe
[15:37] <Mike1> poningru_: maybe carina should make aptitude purge openoffice.org

[16:01] <imoska> idyllic: open your xorg.conf
[16:01] <jdh6403> how do you install realplayer?

[16:01] <Pici> !real > jdh6403 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[16:01] <idyllic> ya i m positively sure about that. Xorg.conf opened
[16:02] <imoska> show me your ServerFlags section
[16:02] <coldboot> How do I close NFS connections in the CLOSE_WAIT state when listed by `netstat -d`?
[16:02] <whochismo> I tried some similar things before, but it doesn't works, gnome is unable to start except in failsave mode
[16:02] <ChrisAshton84> are there x86 compatibility libs for x86_64 ubuntu?  I specifically need libtcl8.3.so
[16:02] <idyllic> i don't have ServerFlags section
 susctl
[16:04] <Xintruder> can i install ubuntu in my current vista laptop, if i dont have a partition available and want to convert my files to? :D
[16:04] <loa> it is not problem of NFS
[16:04] <Xintruder> <lazy butt
[16:04] <coldboot> loa: What is susctl?
[16:04] <loa> sysctl
[16:04] <ikonia> coldboot: he means sysctl
[16:04] <loa> yes
[16:04] <ikonia> Xintruder: no you can't do that
[16:05] <coldboot> So let's say I have this: "tcp       45      0 nhooey-xeon.ne.ende:nfs <IP_ADDRESS>:51494      CLOSE_WAIT"
[16:05] <coldboot> How do I get rid of it with sysctl?
[16:05] <whochismo> anyone know a way to reinstall all the video drivers for ATI?
[16:05] <coldboot> whochismo: The proprietary drivers?
[16:05] <ikonia> whochismo: why do you want to re-install ?
[16:05] <coldboot> Probably because they're shitty and broken, as they always have been, and the acceleration never turns on.
[16:05] <Pici> !language | coldboot
[16:05] <ubotu> coldboot: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[16:05] <whochismo> coldboot, or the free ones, i don't mind, i just want to be able to start gnome
[16:06] <imoska> idyllic: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-495877.html
[16:06] <whochismo> ikonia, to solve one issue, i reinstalled the restricted drivers, and now i'm not able to start gnome
[16:06] <coldboot> Is there seriously anyone else in here but men from the ages of 16 to 50?
[16:06] <ikonia> whochismo: so how will re-installing them again fix it
[16:06] <coldboot> I don't see why the channel has to be "family friendly" in the puritan sense.
[16:06] <whochismo> ikonia, i have tryed that many times
[16:07] <valemon> in which repo can I find java runtime environment?
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> coldboot: Please behave
[16:07] <whochismo> i've reinstalled the restricted ones and then the free ones, and none worked
[16:07] <ikonia> coldboot: thats an offtopic disussion, the rules are "family friendly"
[16:07] <coldboot> whochismo: Why is gnome not starting?
[16:07] <idyllic> ikonia: thanks, let me digest it first. Will get back as soon as i can
[16:07] <ikonia> whochismo you don't install the free ones, they are already part of xorg
[16:07] <coldboot> Swearing makes the language colourful.
[16:07] <whochismo> coldboot, it happened when i reinstalled the drivers, i don't know why
[16:07] <cronik> helle everyone and happy new years
[16:07] <coldboot> It's hard to describe ATI's Linux drivers without saying bad words.
[16:07] <ikonia> coldboot: please stop, this is not appropriate for a support channel
[16:07] <cronik> yea coldboot
[16:07] <whochismo> i mean, first i had the restricted drivers installed, with no problems
[16:07] <coldboot> whochismo: Yes but what's the error?
[16:08] <ikonia> whochismo: , so you have the restricted drivers with no problems
[16:08] <whochismo> coldboot, once i put my username and password, it won't load gnome, and takes me back the login screen
[16:08] <coldboot> whochismo: You need to tell us some sort of error from /var/log/Xorg.0.log or something.
[16:08] <ChrisAshton84> hi is there a channel specifically for x86_64 support or anyone who knows where to go for support online?
 yes yes... wait i give you a link
[16:08] <ikonia> whochismo: that may not be a driver issue
[16:08] <whochismo> i had the restricted, i tried to update them, and then everything started to fail
[16:08] <cronik> whochismo:
[16:08] <ikonia> whochismo: that could be no disk space, or permission to write to your home dir
[16:08] <whochismo> i tryed to uninstall them and install the free ones, but now gnome doesn't start
[16:08] <ikonia> whochismo: why did you try to update them
[16:08] <cronik> did you ever manage to get in or configure the the username and password?
[16:08]  * loa slap coldboot with your mum (CLEAN YOUR ROOM!).
[16:09] <ikonia> whochismo: what free ones, the restricted ones are the ones from ati.com
[16:09] <loa> ./usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt
[16:09] <coldboot> whochismo: Try to change the driver to vesa by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, just by changing the Driver "fglrx" to Driver "vesa", and try again
[16:09] <whochismo> i updated them, because there was an issue regarding the ability to hibernate my computer
[16:09] <whochismo> to vesa? let me try
[16:09] <coldboot> whochismo: Trying vesa will narrow the problem.
[16:09] <idyllic> ikonia: it doesnt work. And i am on 7.10
[16:09] <cronik> hello
[16:09] <coldboot> whochismo: Vesa is the most likely to always work
[16:09] <whochismo> yes, but
[16:09] <ikonia> idyllic: what was the question sorry
[16:09] <whochismo> don't you think it's rare
[16:09] <coldboot> So anyone know how to knock out a CLOSE_WAIT connection with sysctl?
[16:09] <cronik> cco
[16:09] <whochismo> that it works perfectly in failsave mode
[16:10] <ikonia> coldboot: sysctl won't do that
[16:10] <whochismo> and if i choose the normal session, it won't start?
[16:10] <coldboot> ikonia: Well someone else said that...
[16:10] <coldboot> ikonia: How can I get rid of it?
[16:10] <idyllic> my Ctrl-Alt-Backspace reboots my comp, but not restart X
[16:10] <ikonia> coldboot: I do'nt see how it could do that
[16:10] <whochismo> ok, i'll try that and i'll come back
[16:10] <poningru_> whochismo, do you have the restricted stuff uninstalled?
[16:10] <whochismo> see you (and thnx)
[16:10] <ikonia> coldboot: what is the process making that close wait ?
[16:10] <coldboot> ikonia: I killed some process on my machine "xeon" which has nfs-kernel-server running.
[16:10] <whochismo> poningru_, yes, i've nothing installed now
[16:10] <whochismo> (well, I have the free drivers installed, but they don't work)
[16:10] <coldboot> ikonia: Now any attempt to mount a drive that's on xeon, from "inspiron", results in a timeout.
[16:10] <ikonia> coldboot: where any clients connected ?
[16:11] <whochismo> (or only work in failsave)
[16:11] <poningru_> whochismo, just do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver-core
[16:11] <ikonia> coldboot: if you have killed the NFS server, it will time out
[16:11] <poningru_> or something like that
[16:11] <poningru_> I forgot the exact command
[16:11] <whochismo> i think i did some days ago...
[16:11] <coldboot> ikonia: No clients are connected now, I suspect all these close_waits are from me not unmounting nfs volumes before shutting down my laptop.
[16:11] <v3ctor> coldboot: yes it is
[16:11] <ikonia> coldboot: that is a reasonable assumption
[16:11] <whochismo> it lets me select again the screen resolution, driver, frequency, etc etc... but that doesn't solve anything
[16:11] <siakattackj> I have a laptop toshiba A210 with soundcard ATI SB600 azalia but i don't have sound...any help?
[16:12] <jdh6403> trying to play a dvd in gxine and this error message comes up   what do i need to do?    No demuxer found - stream format not recognised.
[16:12] <whochismo> isn't there a place where the error messages regarding the X11 are shown?
[16:12] <Pici> !dvd > jdh6403 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[16:12] <coldboot> ikonia: v3ctor: But that's not really a problem, 'cause I've shutdown my laptop so many times without unmounting the nfs volumes. It started timing out after I killed a process on the machine with the nfs volumes: "xeon"...
[16:12] <v3ctor> coldboot: is the NFS share still showing as mounted on the client?
[16:12] <poningru_> whochismo, do that again
[16:12] <coldboot> ikonia: v3ctor: Do you know how I could recover from this without rebooting xeon?
[16:12] <whochismo> i would like to see what really happens when i start session and x11 restarts itself..
[16:12] <Pici> whochismo: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[16:12] <poningru_> and this time dont do the -plow
[16:12] <kakashi> I have a problem configuring my network please help
[16:12] <whochismo> ok, let me see
[16:12] <poningru_> let it autodetect
[16:13] <coldboot> v3ctor: Nope, "mount" shows nothing to do with nfs on the client machine: "inspiron"
[16:13] <Bollinger> i've got a box which is seeing (random) access violations in dmsg, I've run a memory tester for a while with no errors detected. Is there another tool I could run which would detect flaky hardware?
[16:13] <hades[nb]> m
[16:13] <poningru_> Bollinger, stress
[16:13] <Pici> coldboot: The connections will timeout a dissapear on their own.
[16:13] <coldboot> Pici: They've been there for a day
[16:13] <kakashi> ikonia: can you please help me
[16:13] <poningru_> kakashi, whatsup?
[16:13] <Bollinger> poningru_: Thanks . I'll look into it.
[16:14] <whochismo> too much things on the log, i'll try to reconfigure the X11 again..
 /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt
[16:14] <v3ctor> coldboot: is the close_wait showing on the client or the server?
[16:14] <loa> there you can find how to decrease this time out
[16:14] <coldboot> loa: You've already told me about sysctl, could you tell me how it's used to knock out close_wait connections?
[16:14] <coldboot> v3ctor: Several on the server, all the old IP addresses of inspiron each time it connected to the network.
[16:15] <coldboot> v3ctor: But this is probably not the problem, I killed a process on the server, and now I time out when mounting NFS.
[16:15] <kakashi> poningru: ah!! thanks
[16:15] <v3ctor> coldboot: restart the process that you killed
[16:15] <Roshev> ##level
[16:15] <kakashi> poningru: it worked ;-D
[16:15] <scott_> Helllo World.
[16:15] <coldboot> v3ctor: Do you know how to restart NFS completely, 'cause /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart, and restarting nfs-common, both do nothing to help.
[16:15] <coldboot> v3ctor: I don't remember which process it was.
[16:16] <free_loader> is it possible to change the icons in Gutsy without changing the entire theme?
[16:16] <Chui> coldboot: why restart ? exportfs -rav
[16:16] <Roshev> ##level
[16:16] <JC_Denton_> I'm formatting a usb disk. How do I change the FS to vfat16 ?
[16:17] <cgs_bob> hello all.  is there an easy way to list the dependencies of a particular program?
[16:17] <poningru_> JC_Denton_, how are you formating it?
[16:17] <poningru_> what are you using to format?
[16:17] <shaft0> If I do a software RAID0 (or Linear) setup in Gutsy, and I want to add drives to that array in the future, will the added drives have to be the same size?  Like can I start it out with 2x500, then add a 300, or a 750, or 1000?
[16:17] <JC_Denton_> Not bothered - any util though fdisk is fine
[16:17] <coldboot> Chui: How long should this command take to return?
[16:17] <hades[nb]> cgs_bob, aptitude show <package_name>
[16:18] <Chui> coldboot: immediately ;-)
[16:18] <poningru_> shaft0, any partition of that size will do
[16:18] <poningru_> the 500gb
[16:18] <ikonia> shaft0 raid0 is a bad idea more so to use dynamiclly
 sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 10
[16:18] <ikonia> shaft0: what reason do you want raid0 ?
[16:18] <Muppet-Boy> hiya, my kubuntu 7.10 system has started freezing for no reason :( is there a log i can check that might give a clue as to why?
[16:19] <cgs_bob> hades[nb]: I was looking for a command line, but I will try aptitude show...thanks!
[16:19] <ikonia> Muppet-Boy: syslog, messages ?
[16:19] <coldboot> Chui: Still timing out, didn't help at all.
[16:19] <coldboot> Chui: I suspect the same happens when you restart nfs-kernel-server.
[16:19] <poningru_> JC_Denton_, I would do fdisk and do m
[16:19] <JC_Denton_> poningru will fdisk write a single partition as vfat?
[16:19] <poningru_> it should have ability to change it to vfat
[16:19] <JC_Denton_> poningru thanks
[16:19] <poningru_> JC_Denton_, yeah
[16:19] <Chui> coldboot: is portmapper running ?
[16:19] <Muppet-Boy> ikonia : do you mean syslog.log?
[16:19] <coldboot> loa: That command says it's malformed, you can't space out the '=' symbol
[16:19] <hades[nb]> cgs_bob, don't quite understand... you need a console command, right?
[16:19] <ikonia> Muppet-Boy: ye,
[16:19] <poningru_> JC_Denton_, you have to do mkfs.vfat afterward though
[16:20] <ikonia> yes
[16:20] <shaft0> ikonia: basically i have drives of music, video, and software, i like the idea of using free space of one drive for another, while still keeping it sorted
 sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout=10
[16:20] <coldboot> Chui: Yes and it's been restarted which didn't help either.
[16:20] <ikonia> shaft0: then look at lvm
[16:20] <loa> this command fixes long timeout
[16:20] <ikonia> shaft0: rather than raid0
[16:20] <shaft0> linear?
[16:20] <loa> it will be 10 seconds
[16:20] <coldboot> loa: Is this going to apply to old close_wait connections, or only new ones formed?
[16:20] <Muppet-Boy> ok thanks i will check as soon as i can get to it! (its just gone offline again :( )
[16:20] <Roshev> ##level
[16:20] <Chui> coldboot: what is your prob anyway ? ;-) too lazy to scroll up
 i think to all
[16:20] <ikonia> shaft0: what do you mean by linear ?
[16:20] <cgs_bob> hades[nb]: that's right.  in particular I want to see what programs depend on sip4
[16:20] <loa> tyr this
[16:20] <loa> try
[16:20] <shaft0> ikonia: is that the one that fills one drive, moves on to the next, then fills that drive, then moves to the next, and so on?
[16:21] <coldboot> loa: Is that 10 minutes or seconds?
[16:21] <ikonia> shaft0: you can set up the volume as you want
[16:21] <loa> i think you can try ifdown
[16:21] <coldboot> Chui: I killed some process on my server, xeon, which exports some directory as nfs.
[16:21] <loa> 10 seconds
[16:21] <coldboot> Chui: Ever since I did that, I time out when trying to mount the nfs volume from the client.
[16:21] <ikonia> coldboot: it would help if you stopped saying the server name as the name is quite confusing
[16:21] <timrit> Hello, Does anyone know why every time I log in after a restart or logout that it asks me if I want to use X settings or Gnome settings?
[16:21] <v3ctor> coldboot: did you kill that process for a reason?
[16:21] <hades[nb]> cgs_bob, you mean list programs that depend on the given one, or list programs, that the given one depends on?
[16:21] <coldboot> Chui: Restarting nfs-kernel-server, nfs-common, portmap, and doing the sysctl and your export -rav have all not helped at all.
[16:22] <coldboot> v3ctor: I thought it would help get rid of the stale connection, it was obviously a mistake.
[16:22] <Chui> coldboot: exportfs -uav ; and stop nfs-kernel server
[16:22] <JC_Denton_> poningru mkfs.vfat: Will not try to make filesystem on full-disk device '/dev/sdb' (use -I if wanted) ?
[16:22] <hades[nb]> cgs_bob, the aptitude show displays all information on the given package, including packages it depends upon
[16:23] <coldboot> Chui: Stop it first or after exportfs?
[16:23] <Chui> after
[16:23] <pocketprotector> can someone see if they can access data2logistics.com?
[16:23] <ikonia> timrit: pocketprotector why ?
[16:23] <coldboot> Chui: Then what?
[16:23] <ikonia> pocketprotector: why ?
[16:23] <coldboot> Chui: Start nfs-kernel-server again?
[16:23] <Chui> kill portmap
[16:23] <pocketprotector> because i cant get to it.
[16:23] <hades[nb]> pocketprotector, I can
[16:23] <robdeman> Why can't Dovecot / IMAP not create any subfolders in ~Maildir/ ?
[16:23] <Chui> and see if all nfs kernel processes are gone
[16:23] <ikonia> pocketprotector: it's fine
[16:24] <hades[nb]> join #initng
[16:24] <hades[nb]> sorry
[16:24] <Chui> kernel processes are between []
[16:24] <coldboot> Chui: Nah they're all still there.
[16:24] <Chui> coldboot: aight
[16:24] <cgs_bob> hades[nb]: I want to find the list of programs that uses sip4
[16:24] <coldboot> Man nfs is stupid
[16:24] <fogg> hello to all
[16:24] <Chui> coldboot: what procecces did you stop ?
[16:25] <bazhang> hi fogg
[16:25] <onizeth_> hi
[16:25] <Chui> coldboot: what distro ?
[16:25] <coldboot> Chui: I don't remember, something in "ps aux | grep -i nfs"
[16:25] <coldboot> Chui: Gutsy
[16:25] <ikonia> coldboot: just reboot
[16:25] <Chui> coldboot: ghighi... had it comin ;-)
[16:25] <onizeth_> hello
[16:26] <ikonia> coldboot: you don't know what you've done so it's easier to put the machine back to a known status
[16:26] <coldboot> ikonia: I can't, this machine is remote and I don't know if it will come back up.
[16:26] <shaft0> ikonia: basically what you're saying is that using LVM I can essentially mount all my drives to one location (say /media/disk) and then add disks as needed?
[16:26] <ikonia> coldboot: then you should treat things with more respect than killing processes and not knowing what you've done
[16:26] <Oli``> is it possible to give ext3 partitions names like ntfs ones?
[16:26] <coldboot> ikonia: Surely there's a way to get nfs to completely restart.
[16:26] <ikonia> shaft0: correct
[16:26] <coldboot> ikonia: That is obvious now.
[16:26] <ikonia> coldboot: there are many but as you don't know what you've done
[16:26] <shaft0> ikonia: awesome, sounds like a whole lot less setup and work than I was looking at :D
[16:26] <ikonia> coldboot: and if you're not sure if the box will come back up
[16:26] <ikonia> shaft0: it is
[16:27] <wols> Oli``: yes, with tune2fs
[16:27] <timrit> Hello, Does anyone know why every time I log in after a restart or logout that it asks me if I want to use X settings or Gnome settings?
[16:28] <hades[nb]> cgs_bob, sorry, i don't know... try asking at #debian
[16:28] <Chui> coldboot: second

[16:39] <rhs> it's in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:39] <whochismo> ok, let me check
[16:39] <evgeniXXX> how can I kill a process that's been running?
[16:39] <evgeniXXX> what arguments for kill?
[16:39] <whochismo> by server, do you mean the driver?
[16:39] <Sopor> killall
[16:39] <rhs> whochismo: yes
[16:40] <whochismo> ati
[16:40] <rhs> whochismo: try vesa
[16:40] <whochismo> (vesa doesn't starts)
[16:40] <Sopor> killall processus or sudo killall processus if it is in root.
[16:40] <evgeniXXX> Sopor: killall still asks for me some inputs
[16:40] <whochismo> i've already tried it a few minutes ago
[16:40] <Pici> evgeniXXX: use ps aux to find the PID of the process, and then use kill PID
[16:40] <evgeniXXX> awesome, thanks Pici and thanks Sopor!
[16:40] <rhs> whochismo: is there a glx option in the xorg.conf
[16:41] <Sopor> np, the pici's answer is useful to me too ( :
[16:41] <whochismo> "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep glx" returns nothing
[16:41] <JC_Denton_>  loop disk labels do not support partition names.    How do I resolve this error to turn my usb stick partition bootable?
[16:41] <rhs> whochismo: and in capital GLX
[16:42] <whochismo> nothing
[16:42] <rhs> whochismo: are you sure it is not xgl ?
[16:43] <whochismo> there isn't any word referring to xgl or glx (and XGL and GLX) in xorg.conf
[16:43] <rhs> whochismo: can't help you then
[16:43] <whochismo> ok
[16:43] <whochismo> what i don't undrestand, is why in failsave mode it works perfect
[16:43] <whochismo> but not in the normal mode
[16:43] <jianuox> help me
[16:44] <RedHeron> jianuox: can't help if we don't know what the problem is.
[16:44] <Dr_willis> jianuox,  state the problem in a clear and concise maner. and see who can help.

[16:49] <Filled-Void> What is the correct way of restoring all my updates and programs I have installed. AptOnCD only copies them locall I believe you have to select them from synaptic to actually install it. ANy alternative?

[16:49] <Filled-Void> mike4785, Awn ?
[16:49] <MaKc> hi all )
[16:49] <Nostahl> sounds like a window manager?
[16:49] <RedHeron> Vlet: a lot of it has to do with the proprietary format Flash maintains.
[16:50] <Marfi> DanB, there is a checksum if you download flash from the repositories. if you click the flash file on the net, firefox will direct you to the install from adobe's site. install from there, and works lke a charm
[16:50] <Marfi> mike4785, avant-window-manager
[16:50] <RedHeron> Marfi: not necessarily
[16:50] <mike4785> u know how apple has those icons on the bottom that are shortcuts to programs/ in the right it is also the windows you have open
[16:50] <Marfi> RedHeron, have they fixed it?
[16:50] <Marfi> mike4785, its avant window manager. =)
[16:50] <mike4785> thanks!

[16:53] <Pici> !flashissues
[16:53] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[16:53] <RedHeron> rhs: the version of flash that came with it *is* broken.
[16:53] <DanB> i need help to install this flash
[16:53] <Filled-Void> RedHeron, Try the one in the thread ubotu says it might help.

[17:01] <evgeniXXX> Filled-Void: tried that
[17:01] <Filled-Void> evgeniXXX, have enabled the necessary software sources?
[17:02] <evgeniXXX> how do you make the text appear to be red when you respond?
[17:02] <evgeniXXX> Filled-Void don't know what you mean by that sorry
[17:02] <evgeniXXX> i have a tarball
[17:02] <Filled-Void> evgeniXXX, Im using your name in the post hence it is red
[17:02] <Marfi> evgeniXXX, extract the folder and see if there is a .sh file in there
[17:02] <Filled-Void> evgeniXXX, Are you on Ubuntu at the moment if you are go to System > Admin >Software Sources
[17:03] <evgeniXXX> Marfi and Filled-Void performing your suggestions now...

[17:04] <evgeniXXX> Filled-Void what does that mean than?  What do I need to do to install it?
[17:04] <evgeniXXX> Marfi, there are some .sh.in files
[17:04] <scriptha> Is there an ubuntu program to merge videos?
[17:04] <Filled-Void> evgeniXXX, Are you at your software sources window?
[17:04] <evgeniXXX> and winpath.sh
[17:05] <Marfi> evgeniXXX, you can extract them and run them with the terminal. it would be "sh <filename>.sh. they are scripts
[17:05] <Marfi> evgeniXXX, you should have an install.sh
[17:05] <fb_> can anyone give me a hand with kdenlive? when I load mpeg files from my dv camera, kdenlive only loads the video stream.
[17:05] <evgeniXXX> ok, i'll try that Marfi, Filled-Void, I am there also
[17:05] <Dr_willis> scriptha,  theres several video reencoder/encoder/tools out there. mencoder, avidmux, and others.
[17:05] <bitterbug> sigh. it always pays to check to make sure you down type shutdown -h now in the host terminal instead of the VM
[17:06] <guyvdb_> I am having a problem installing the package qt4-dev-tools - I get unmet dependency error from apt - qt4-dev-tools: Depends: libqt4-core (= 4.3.2-0ubuntu3) but 4.3.2-0ubuntu3.1 is to be installed - any ideas
[17:06] <Dr_willis> bitterbug,  or on a SSH session to a server. :)
[17:06] <Filled-Void> evgeniXXX, Do you have anythign checked under Ubuntu software. I have the first four selected. once you do that you will get an option to reload packages then imagemagick should be available for install.
[17:07] <bitterbug> Dr_willis: hehe, yeah, it's a good thing i don't have shutdown privs on the SSH i was on
[17:07] <evgeniXXX> Filled-Void, have those first 4 things also checked...
[17:07] <snurre> im gonna set up ubuntu on this comp, but im having an issue with raid.. i currently have two drives in a raid array and one additional normal sata.. ubuntu doesnt seem to find the array, and only shows the drives separate.. im gonna install it on the 3rd, single drive, but will it mess up the already existing array?
[17:07] <evgeniXXX> Filled-Void how do I reload packages?
[17:08] <bitterbug> i need to give myself a nice visual reminder of which systems i'm logged into
[17:08] <guyvdb_> snurre: just unplug the array for the install (physically)
[17:08] <Filled-Void> evgeniXXX, Once you select somethign in there it will tell you it has to reload
[17:08] <Gpalco> Guys, is there a way to make a separate partition where all "home" data will be stored and/or imported/recognized during next Ubuntu install ???
[17:08] <Filled-Void> evgeniXXX, Are you on UBuntu GUtsy Gibbon?
[17:09] <bitterbug> gpalco: yup! it's pretty straightforward to
[17:09] <spooge> hi
[17:09] <guyvdb_> can anyone help a dependency issue:  qt4-dev-tools: Depends: libqt4-core (= 4.3.2-0ubuntu3) but 4.3.2-0ubuntu3.1 is to be installed
[17:09] <snurre> guyvdb_: that was my initial emergency solution, yeah.. but once im done installing and stuff, will ubuntu be able to find the correct array?
[17:09] <bitterbug> gpalco: just format a partition/drive and copy your home folder contents to it, then once you've installed ubuntu just remap home to that drive
[17:10] <evgeniXXX> Filled-Void, I am not sure, but under "ubuntu software" tab in Software Resources window at the bottom it says, "Cdrom with Ubuntu 7.10 'Gutsy Gibbon' Officially supported" with a check next to it
[17:10] <mightybyte> Anyone know why my graphical package manager in Gutsy doesn't show all the packages that are available?
[17:10] <guyvdb_> snurre: not sure
[17:10] <phoenixz> I have a Dell latitude d620 laptop with external monitor, I just configured X for 2 monitors but once I switch to the external monitor of my laptop using fn+F8, I cant switch back.. is there anything known about that?
[17:10] <spooge> anyone know how to run linux off a thumb drive on a mac?
[17:11] <mightybyte> I have main, universe, restricted, and multiverse enabled.
[17:11] <Filled-Void> evgeniXXX, Yeah that should be correct. Do you have the same thing enabled as mightybyte says above^
[17:11] <panosru> Hi, does anyone knows any app to convert Clone CD's img/ccd files into .iso file? i tried ccd2iso but it not works...
[17:11] <Filled-Void> mightybyte, Did you do an update after that>?
[17:11] <Gpalco> bitterbug, I would like it to be like my >home< folder. Can I do that?
[17:11] <bitterbug> yup
[17:12] <bitterbug> that's what i have set up
[17:12] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: Yes.  Specifically, openssh doesn't show up.
[17:12] <mightybyte> ...but I was able to install it manually with apt-get.
[17:12] <bitterbug> i have a 320 gig drive that's dedicated tom /home
[17:12] <bitterbug> to even
[17:13] <yacek19> hi
[17:13] <evgeniXXX> mightybyte, Filled-Void, what do I need to check in software resources?  I have the 1st 4 things checked on ubuntu software tab
[17:13] <yacek19> please help me, I have set my mouse to work with evdev, everything works good beside I can move it only up and down
[17:13] <bitterbug> then when i do a fresh install i just go into the partition manager and tell it that /home is on /sdc1 or whatever the drive is that i want to use
[17:13] <Filled-Void> mightybyte, openssh-client openssh-server these are the two packages I think
[17:13] <bitterbug> you can do it during the install, or leave it until after you've installed and just change the home location then
[17:13] <Filled-Void> evgeniXXX, Try deselectign one and thenr eselectign ti and close that window and see fi it asks you to reload
[17:13] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: Yes, I know.  But they're not visible in the graphical package manager.
[17:14] <evgeniXXX> Filled-Void, tyring this...
[17:14] <Filled-Void> mightybyte, In the left hand pane you have selected All is that correct?
[17:14] <mightybyte> I typed "ssh" in the search box and nothing showed up.  But both openssh-client and ...server should have been there.
[17:14] <brunno> alguém do Brasil?
[17:14] <mightybyte> Yes
[17:14] <Filled-Void> evgeniXXX, Itshould ask you to reload packages

[17:15] <taxman> hi I just did a backup and fresh install. I backed up my packages in /var/cache/apt/archives/  What is the best way to get all of those installed again?
[17:15] <evgeniXXX> Filled-Void, it did, and I did reload it... I'll try running apt get again
[17:15] <Filled-Void> evgeniXXX, Try sudo apt-get install imagemagick and tell me if it works
[17:15] <evgeniXXX> Filled-Void, no dice
[17:15] <kamizhiro> hey
[17:15] <evgeniXXX> Filled-Void, case sensitive?
[17:16] <Filled-Void> evgeniXXX, :(
[17:16] <bitterbug> Gpalco: this is a good start: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[17:16] <MGalaxy> PLZ suggest me a GUI software for converting picture formats (any format to any format)
[17:16] <evgeniXXX> Filled-Void it is just case sensitive... got it
[17:16] <Filled-Void> evgeniXXX, Yes it should be but the spelling that I showed is correct I believe
[17:16] <evgeniXXX> Filled-Void you rock, thanks... thanks mightybyte too!!!
[17:17] <Filled-Void> mightybyte, Not sure why you would be able to  install through terminal but not synaptic. searching for oenssh returns nothign either right?
[17:17] <khaotik> was good people
[17:17] <taxman> MGalaxy: Gimp can do that. It's not terribly easy, but will work
[17:17] <Gpalco> bitterbug, thank you
[17:17] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: Correct
[17:17] <evgeniXXX> Filled-Void, just to understand what the heck just happened.... so there is some apt-cache command... and i need to reload every once in a while to get the latest packages??  Trying to learn linux from scratch :)
[17:18] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: Oh wait, typing "openssh" returs the package "Passwords and Encryption Keys"
[17:18] <MGalaxy> taxman: except that
[17:18] <taxman> MGalaxy: eh well, you asked. :)
[17:19] <bitterbug> Gpalco: no problem. I find it very handy when doing an install in a busy environment. I just ungplug the drive with the home folder on it so i don't get distracted and wipe it. do the fresh install on the system drive, reconnect the home drive and then map it to the new install.
[17:19] <mightybyte> Filled-Void, If it matters, I just installed ubuntu from an x86_64 liveCD a few days ago.
[17:19] <Whitor> Where can I adjust system audio volume in KDE ?
[17:19] <mightybyte> Filled-Void And I saw this same problem with another package a few days ago.  Can't remember which one though.
[17:19] <MGalaxy> taxman: I want a image viewer + image converter ( GThumb is not good at all)
[17:20] <DanB> ok i have vlc and the plugins installed but how do i use this to watch online video
[17:20] <Filled-Void> mightybyte, I dont think that the repositories would vary for the different install you used. I used the DVD install thought So im not sure if that caused it
[17:20] <taxman> MGalaxy: I only use gimp for that, so I don't know what to tell you. Like I said, it will work
[17:20] <mightybyte> Filled-Void, I have updated, so I would think that it shouldn't matter which CD I used.
[17:20] <Filled-Void> evgeniXXX, You would use apt-cache search to search for you rpackages and apt-get update to get updates.
[17:20] <barbarella> Whitor:kmix
[17:20] <P_Kable> Hi everyone. I just installed mplayer and I can't play any video: Failed to open file://*.mpg, *.avi ... all videos :|

[17:21] <Whitor> thanks barbarella
[17:21] <Filled-Void> mightybyte, Could you post me a screencap of your synaptic :x
[17:21] <Nicolaidis> help with gdesklet
[17:21] <barbarella> P_Kable:try it with VLC
[17:21] <mightybyte> Sure.  Where would I post it?
[17:21] <Filled-Void> P_Kable, Install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:21] <evgeniXXX> Filled-Void, ok I see, is that something i need to do every time i can't find a package I am looking for?
[17:22] <sluimers> Hi, how do I change an external HD from fat32 to ntfs?

[17:22] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: FWIW, when I search for "vim" all I get is GVim.  vim-tiny and the others aren't there.
[17:22] <P_Kable> barbarella>>  I do not want vlc but mpalyer. Filled-Void I have this package already
[17:22] <Kuropon> is ti possible to have 2 OS running at the same time?
[17:23] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: You just want a screenshot of the main window?
[17:23] <Nicolaidis> when i start it gdesklwt becomes black and doesn't work
[17:23] <sluimers> how? the format to button is grayed out
[17:23] <Filled-Void> mightybyte, by any chance is your cd still in the software sources?
[17:23] <mightybyte> No, I took it out.
[17:23] <Nicolaidis> i install it from synaptic
[17:23] <Filled-Void> P_Kable, Could you check if vlc would play it at all. if it doesnt then it would tell if the codec is not installed
[17:23] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: Should I put it back in?
[17:24] <Kuropon> is ti possible to have 2 OS running at the same time?
[17:24] <Filled-Void> mightybyte, Add your cd to the sources if it is not there
[17:24] <P_Kable> vlc works fine
[17:24] <Filled-Void> Nicolaidis, Install gdesklet-data
[17:24] <lukewarm> Kuropon, yes
[17:24] <taxman> if I want to re-install all of my backed up debs in /var/cache/apt/archives/, can I just run aptitude install * in that dir?
[17:24] <P_Kable> Filled-Void>>  VLC ok
[17:24] <Nicolaidis> i 've installed it
[17:25] <RenatoSilva> [Compiz] The borders of my monitor attract windows. I've found how to deactivate attraction among themselves, but what about attraction between windows and monitor's borders?
[17:25] <barbarella> Kuropon:vmware
[17:25] <Filled-Void> P_Kable, SO you can play in vlc but not mplayer correct?
[17:25] <Kuropon> lukewarm, how would I go about running Linux with a cube interface(4 workplaces) and one of them being a window for windows
[17:25] <Kuropon> barbarella, ?
[17:25] <P_Kable> Filled-Void>>  correct
[17:25] <Filled-Void> P_Kable, You get no output at all or garbled output
[17:25] <Arelis> Hi all. I have a monitor with a resolution of 1440x900. I'd like to do many things at the same time, and see many windows at the same time. How do i do this? Already switched font DPI to size 70, makes everything good, but kind of unreadable. Or hard to read.
[17:25] <taxman> or is there a better way?
[17:25] <DanB> can someone help with installing flash player
[17:25] <netcrash> Hello , while mounting nfs4 volume I get the error can't read superblock, any tips ?
[17:26] <DanB> i have it downloaded
[17:26] <lukewarm> Kuropon, you use a virtual machine
[17:26] <Filled-Void> DanB, Downloaded? from where?
[17:26] <sandeep> does any one know of a channel specific to F-spot
[17:26] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: That didn't seem to change anything.
[17:26] <Kuropon> lukewarm, you'll need to elaborate pls
[17:27] <Filled-Void> taxman, Im looking for an easy way also I used aptoncd till now
[17:27] <lukewarm> !vmware
[17:27] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[17:27] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: I did apt-cdrom add
[17:27] <sluimers> DanB, how hard can it be? at most it's ./configure, make, make install, right?
[17:27] <Filled-Void> mightybyte, And you updated your package list?
[17:27] <lukewarm> Kuropon, ..googling...
[17:27] <Nicolaidis> Filled-Void: is this a common problem???
[17:27] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: Not sure.  Running apt-get update now.
[17:27] <Filled-Void> Nicolaidis, is it working now?
[17:27] <DanB> i downloaded the tar.gz file
[17:28] <Filled-Void> mightybyte, Why i ask is cause both of those packages are on my dvd
[17:28] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: It seems like synaptic is only displaying packages that have graphical interfaces.
[17:28] <P_Kable> Filled-Void>>  no output, only an error message "Failed to open file..."
[17:28] <Filled-Void> DanB, Why not install it from the repositories
[17:28] <Filled-Void> P_Kable, Avi ?
[17:28] <Nicolaidis> Filled-Void:i've installed it...it says that deamon does't work
[17:28] <P_Kable> avi and mpeg
[17:28] <lukewarm> Kuropon, have a look at http://linuxondesktop.blogspot.com/2007/12/running-windows-inside-your-ubuntu.html
[17:28] <P_Kable> Filled-Void>>  avi & mpeg
[17:28] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: Yeah.  I have installed openssh now, but it's still not visible in synaptic.
[17:28] <taxman> DanB: why not just use synaptic to install it?
[17:29] <Filled-Void> mightybyte, :( let me check one more thing brb
[17:29] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: Ok.
[17:29] <Huhnz0r> hello. something got killed in my linux.from windows the ifs partition appears broken, booting up ubuntu, there is an x server error. now i`m here with the live cd. how  can i find out what exactly is my problem and then fix the existing ubuntu install? or just install the 7.07 over the broken dapper drake_
[17:29] <Filled-Void> Nicolaidis, http://www.filledvoid.com/2007/12/20/gdesklets-not-working-on-64-bit-installs/
[17:30] <Filled-Void> Nicolaidis, That might help
[17:30] <qolo> how can I get grep to not print the match, I only want the file names, so I can redirect its output to something that wants only filenames ( emacs )
[17:30] <DanB> ok i guess i have that figured out.but i still cant watch flash video online
[17:31] <Kuropon> lukewarm, sounds great tyvm.. you have any experience with this?
[17:31] <taxman> qolo: man grep, it's definitely in there
[17:31] <qolo> taxman: i have i topen, i cant find it
[17:31] <crush_groove> Huhnz0r,  you shouldnt skip distros on an upgrade .. go from dappy to edgy to fiesty..
[17:31] <rafi> hi all
[17:31] <lukewarm> Kuropon, no.
[17:31] <nixnoob> anyone know if i can access my home folder from windows on a dual boot?
[17:31] <taxman> qolo: ok hold on, haven't read it in a while
[17:31] <Kuropon> lukewarm,  +D
[17:31] <Arelis> Hi all. I have a monitor with a resolution of 1440x900. I'd like to do many things at the same time, and see many windows at the same time. How do i do this? Already switched font DPI to size 70, makes everything good, but kind of unreadable. Or hard to read.
[17:31] <crush_groove> !samba
[17:31] <ubotu> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[17:32] <Huhnz0r> crush_groove: oh i didnt know...but isnt installing the new one wiping the existing away anyways_
[17:32] <Nicolaidis> i'll try it
[17:32] <nixnoob> crush_groove, read the question its a dual boot not over the network
[17:32] <Filled-Void> P_Kable, For some reason i recall the same issue somewhere however I cant pinpoint it. I think there was changing x11 to something try a search for x11 mplayer cannot play avi Im sure it involved changing x11 to xv something
[17:32] <crush_groove> Huhnz0r,  no
  whats you resolution right now ?
[17:33] <taxman> qolo: -l is the switch you want I believe
[17:33] <Arelis> rafi: 1440x900
[17:33] <crush_groove> nixnnob .. thank you for telling to read the question
[17:34] <DanB> ok i can see the video but i dont have sound
 1 min..
[17:34] <crush_groove> Huhnz0r,  each distro builds on the last 1 with upgrades . if you skip from dapper to fiesty you may not have some libs or dependencys that fiesty needs that were in egdy .
[17:34] <Arelis> rafi: alright.
[17:34] <taxman> DanB: do you have sound for other things?
[17:34] <DanB> yes
[17:34] <P_Kable> Filled-Void>>  ok I try that
[17:35] <Filled-Void> mightybyte, Out of curiosity what server do you have set to get updates from
[17:36] <P_Kable> Filled-Void>>  no it won't work
[17:36] <qolo> taxman:  that got it thx!
 I think beryl does what you looking for
[17:36] <taxman> qolo: np
[17:36] <Arelis> rafi: i can't use that. I'd have to use xgl for that, but it's unstable.
[17:36] <Filled-Void> P_Kable, :( What was the exact error message you were getting and if it is big please use pastebin
[17:37] <crush_groove> sheesh this samba is just what I need I think
[17:37] <P_Kable> "failed to open file:///*.mpg
[17:37] <P_Kable> Filled-Void>>   "failed to open file:///*.mpg"
[17:37] <nomic> what is the best resource for setting up dual head monitors with an ATI graphics card anyoneplese?
[17:38] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: "Server for U.S."
[17:38] <Felipe__> #faq

[17:38] <Filled-Void> mightybyte, try just changing it to main server or eu and try again
[17:38] <taxman> ok I tried aptitude -s install * in my directory of backed up packages, but I get a lot of errors like "Couldn't find package "Desktop", and more than 40
[17:38] <taxman> packages contain "Desktop" in their name."
[17:39] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: Ok.  I don't hane EU as an option.  Trying main.
[17:39] <Arelis> rafi: I mean, like, have much screen space, everything smaller, but still readable, so i can have many windows open at the same time, on the same screen, on the same workspace, and look at them all at the same time.
[17:39] <Arelis> Right now, it's so small it's burning my eyes
[17:39] <barbarella> P_Kable:you kidding me.... *.mpg !!!
[17:39] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: Nope, still the same.  No openssh and nothing but GVim, in a "vim" search.
 i have a frind of my from work that it use that alot but his not here right now I just page him ok let u know later
[17:39] <Nicolaidis> Filled-Void: now i must change a script...how can i do it?
[17:39] <Nicolaidis> Filled-Void: now i must change a script how can i do it???

[17:39] <Arelis> rafi: ok
[17:40] <RenatoSilva> [Compiz] The borders of my monitor attract windows. I've found how to deactivate attraction among themselves, but what about attraction between windows and monitor's borders?
[17:40] <Dr_willis> theres settings in the ccsm tool for that.. somewhere.. :)
[17:40] <Arelis> Does anybody know how i can maximize screen space, have like 10 windows open but still be able to read the contents, all next/below eachother, on one workspace, non-overlapping?
[17:40] <nownot> how do i update ubuntu from the command line. also how do i update the kernel?
[17:40] <Filled-Void> P_Kable, Playing all your files?
[17:41] <Dr_willis> Arelis,  you mean auto-tile the windows. resizing them?
[17:41] <P_Kable> Filled-Void>>  yes
[17:41] <Filled-Void> P_Kable, can you play a single file?
 I use my console terminal with out borders
[17:41] <barbarella> nownot:apt-get upgrade
[17:41] <P_Kable> with VLC only Filled-Void
[17:41] <Filled-Void> Nicolaidis, Why create a script ?
[17:42] <jakel1> i have a bit of a problem... i installed Ubuntu 7.10, then i installed windows
[17:42] <Filled-Void> P_Kable, So when you play a single file with mplayer you get the same erro message with the file name?
[17:42] <jakel1> now i can only boot windows and not linux
[17:42] <Arelis> Dr_willis: That, too, if i can
[17:42] <jakel1> however the partition is still there cuz i can see it with Gparted live CD
[17:42] <P_Kable> Filled-Void>>  As I said above, yes
[17:42] <nownot> barberella : will that do kernel and all system stuff? i guess im asking what all will that update
[17:42] <qolo> jakel1:  thats why you do it the other way around
[17:42] <jakel1> and it still has linux on it
[17:42] <Dr_willis> Arelis,  tiling is a feature of the window manager. Some have it. some dont.
[17:42] <crush_groove> jake what drive is windows on ?
[17:42] <qolo> jakel1: insert a recovery CD
[17:42] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: Ok, I tried another server.  Still no luck.  It really looks like I don't have any server (non-graphical) apps showing at all.
[17:42] <crush_groove> leys qodo have it
[17:42] <Clearzen> Could anyone recommend a piece of virtualization software for ubuntu
[17:42] <jakel1> hld on a sec....   qolo... what?
[17:42] <Arelis> Dr_willis: I'm using metacity right now
 install windows first then linux and you grub on lilo will take over your master boot sector
[17:43] <jakel1> lol... to many answers
[17:43] <crush_groove> clearzen openvm
[17:43] <jakel1> rafi is there a way to do it without having to reinstall windows
[17:43] <jakel1> errr.... linux as well
[17:43] <Clearzen> crush_groove: I've been looking at virtual box too. Do you know if it is any good?
[17:43] <qolo> yes - put in the live CD and boot into the existing linux
[17:44] <jakel1> ok]
[17:44] <crush_groove> Clearzen,  I havent used it
[17:44] <Arelis> Dr_willis: I'm using metacity right now. DOes that have it?
[17:44] <qolo> theres a way to tell grub to rewrite the MBR, im not sure how though you'll probably have to look for a tutorial
[17:44] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: Oh, I feel stupid.  I just realized that I wasn't using synaptic.  I was just using the "Add/Remove" option from the Applications menu.
[17:44] <Clearzen> crush_groove: thanks
[17:44] <Filled-Void> mightybyte, gah check in synaptic :D
[17:44] <Dr_willis> Arelis,  no idea.. look and see if it does.. I dont use metacity. I doubt if it does.
[17:44] <Huhnz0r> ok so I now mounted the linux partitition in the live cd of ubuntu. the partitition seems to be fine and accessible. how can I solve the x server problems I get when trying to boot up ubuntu installed on that directory
[17:45] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: I did.  Everything's there.
[17:45] <mightybyte> Filled-Void: Now I know where to look.  Thanks for the help.
[17:45] <Filled-Void> mightybyte, :D
[17:45] <jakel1> it's booting now qolo
[17:45] <Filled-Void> mightybyte, yw
[17:45] <jakel1> hld on a sec
 yes boot from a live cd mount your hdd and run grub or lilo manually  you need to tell grub you boot martitions ok dont forget

[17:46] <evgeniXXX> Filled-Void, do you know where apt-get install puts the binaries?
[17:46] <evgeniXXX> I need to get a path for it
[17:46] <nownot> when i try apt-get upgrade i get 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded
[17:47] <Clearzen> evgeniXXX: /usr/bin
[17:47] <Filled-Void> evgeniXXX, The files apt-get installs should be found in the /var/cache/apt/archives folder I think
[17:47] <Dr_willis> nownot,  you did 'apt-get update' first?
[17:47] <evgeniXXX> thank you , i will look there
[17:47] <nownot> err let me try that
[17:47] <aCiD2> Hi, the OS X side of my Mac has just blown up so I was going to take this oportunity to try Ubuntu on it. I can't install refit however, is this going to cause any problems?
[17:48] <Dr_willis> apt-get caches the debs it DOWNLOADS to  /var/cache/apt/archives, in theory the installed files could be going about anywehre. :)
[17:48] <Filled-Void> evgeniXXX, Try the path Clearzen suggested I might be wrong here
[17:48] <nownot> good god 135 to be upgraded
[17:48] <aCiD2> I don't need to boot into any other operating systems - just Ubuntu
[17:48] <Dr_willis> nownot,  rember.. "update" then "Upgrade" :)
[17:48] <nownot> :) thanks
[17:48] <Huhnz0r> I have been having problems with my x-server, I don-t even know what happened. i didnt install anything new. so now i mounted my ubuntu in the live cd , how can I fix it_
[17:49] <Clearzen> Huhnz0r: What problem are you having with it?
[17:50] <Nicolaidis> Filled-Void: i must modify a script for run gdesklet on amd 64
[17:50] <jeeaar> question, I need to find the IP to a print server, I know the domain but need a terminal command to do a search???
[17:50] <Filled-Void> Nicolaidis, I usually modify files using sudo gedit path/to file
[17:51] <Dr_willis> jeeaar,  you could nmap the network, and see who all replies. :)
[17:51] <barbarella> jeeaar:ping maybe
[17:51] <Filled-Void> P_Kable, http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76259&highlight=mplayer+x11 this was the thread I had recalled seeing. Is this what you tried?
[17:51] <nownot> dr_willis: if i want to build a custom kernel where would i get started?
[17:51] <Dr_willis> nownot,  with lots of reading.. :)
[17:51] <Huhnz0r> Clearzen: when starting ubuntu as normal at somepoint the screen will turn blue and say x-server error and it wont boot up gnome but keep stuck in command line modus

[17:59] <devilsadvocate> ijn, i think koffice as a powerpoint equivalent, im not sure  though
[18:00] <ijn> any thing else?
[18:00] <devilsadvocate> vee_ , for normal usage minimal swap will do. but hibernation might not be possible without swap> ram
[18:00] <devilsadvocate> ijn, i'm not sure, but i dont think so
[18:00] <devilsadvocate> people use latex to make presentations, if you want :|
[18:00] <vee_> devilsadvocate would i be ok with 5gb swap or should i go for more then
[18:00] <ijn> anything that is not a whole package
[18:00] <Clearzen> vee_:  5GB is to much
[18:01] <Clearzen> vee_: 2GB is all you need really
[18:01] <ijn> like open office kofice
[18:01] <vee_> Clearzen thanx
[18:01] <The-Warlord> the swap memory will be used when you out of ram, this will take a while (with normal applications)

[18:01] <evgeniXXX> Clearzen, I was able to locate it in synaptic manager, I clicked on it and under properties was able to find all the files it installed, thank you and thank you Filled-Void too!!
[18:01] <Clearzen> evgeniXXX: np
[18:02] <devilsadvocate> vee_, hibernation is the only problem you will have. if not even 1 gb of ram is more than sufficinet
[18:02] <Pici> vee_: If you do, you'll need more swap than ram.
[18:02] <devilsadvocate> vee_ , sorry.. 1gb of swap, not ram
[18:02] <cheeby> hi.  is there a better alternative to gdesklets?
[18:03]  * cheeby is new to gnome.
[18:03] <Filled-Void> cheeby, Screenlets
[18:03] <vee_> devilsadvocate so 2 gb of swap should let it go to hiber.?
[18:03] <devilsadvocate> cheeby, there were some widgets with compiz fusion. I dont know any details though
[18:03] <[unix]> vee_: no, you need 4 Gb swap or more to hiber
[18:03] <cheeby> running compiz here.
[18:03] <devilsadvocate> vee_, no. Hibernation basically puts all your ram onto the swap, so you will need >4gb
[18:03] <Filled-Void> cheeby, I just use conky I like it . Its light weight also and very customizable
[18:04] <Serg[GPRS]> hi ! i got a crappy USB ADSL modem, tried http://eciadsl.flashtux.org but it's config script asked me so many questions i was unable to answer
[18:04] <vee_> Pici thanx, i keep get dif. answers but i htink it soundsw like more swap than ram is better ( [unix] )
[18:04] <vee_> devilsadvocate 5gb it is!
[18:04] <temetz> how can you define port that xchat connects to ?
[18:04] <Serg[GPRS]> may i still hope to config it, or only option is to buy Ethernet modem ?
[18:05] <vee_> devilsadvocate should all my partitions be Primary?
[18:05] <cheeby> Filled-Void, is conky a window mgr?
[18:05] <devilsadvocate> vee_, none of them need to be primary :)
[18:06] <cheeby> devilsadvocate, looking into it now...
[18:06] <vee_> devilsadvocate so stick with all my partitions being logical
[18:06] <evgeniXXX> I am very impressed with this forum, this is amazing support, thank you everybody!
[18:06] <cheeby> all I want is a decent weather and calendar desklet.
[18:06] <XxValetexX> hello
[18:06] <cheeby> something that doesn't crash when I try to change something.
[18:06] <XxValetexX> is there a 64 bit version of ubuntu?
[18:06] <vee_> XxValetexX hello
[18:06] <Whitor> XxValetexX: yes
[18:06] <Filled-Void> cheeby,http://conky.sourceforge.net/
[18:06] <devilsadvocate> cheeby, i dont relally remembey but i dont think conky has that
[18:06] <Pici> cheeby: no, conky is a customizable system monitor, not a window manager.
[18:06] <jakel1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows i am using this tutorial and i have a question about one of the steps
[18:06] <XxValetexX> Whit ty
[18:06] <monkeyBox> Is there any way to unpack a ".sit" file in ubuntu?
[18:06] <XxValetexX> Whitor: thnaks :D
[18:07] <Filled-Void> cheeby, Id recommend screenlets then if you dont like gdesklets
[18:07] <cheeby> Pici, thanks.
[18:07] <jakel1> the sixth step reads, title Windows XP/Vista # You can use any title you wish, this will appear on your grub boot menu
[18:07] <jakel1>  rootnoverify (hd0,0) #(hd0,0) will be most common, you may need to adjust accordingly
[18:07] <jakel1>  makeactive
[18:07] <jakel1>  chainloader +1
[18:07] <cheeby> Filled-Void, ok.  apt-get install...?
[18:07] <Yancho> Y am I getting FTP error 553 for a folder named : elev_contour_3m
[18:07] <iOn|FuXeD> cheeby go to gnome-look.org and search for Screenlets, see if their "look" is appealing then
[18:07] <devilsadvocate> vee_, whatever you like. usually the boot partition is kept primary, but most modern bioses seem to be able to havndle grub on a logica partition also
[18:07] <XxValetexX> Whitor: I wanna get one of those tasty quad cores from AMD :X
[18:07] <Filled-Void> cheeby,  Yup you would do an apt-get install of the package you want
[18:07] <jakel1> after rootnoverify is that hd0,0 suppose to reflect where windows is or where Linux is
[18:08] <cheeby> ah.
[18:08] <devilsadvocate> cheeby, if you are willing to run kde aps (they will eat up extra ram if you run them on gnome) then superkaramba is awesome
[18:08] <cheeby> devilsadvocate, yeah, I ran superkaramba when I was on kde (gentoo).
[18:08] <vee_> devilsadvocate thanx.... in the middle of reinstalling and last time i just made every partition Primary.... wasnt sure if that was a good or bad thing.... I guess I'll keep the system partition Primary
[18:08] <cheeby> this is a new machine.
[18:09] <NorthByNorthWest> Hi all! Had some problems with compiz and my NVidia 8800 GTS, so after much doubt i installed the drivers using Envy... now when I try to enable compiz/desktop effects Ubuntu says it wants to install the restricted drivers... what to do!?!?
[18:09] <cheeby> so I put ubuntu on it to see how I liked it, trying to give it a fair shake.
[18:09] <devilsadvocate> vee_, you cant have more than 4 primary partitions, included the extended one. PLan your partitioning scheme ar0ound that
[18:09] <Filled-Void> Superkaramba is ncie but wont that require kde dependencies as well?
[18:09] <santh_> how to resume download from bit torrent plz help me
[18:09] <santh_> how to resume download from bit torrent plz help me
[18:09] <imaginaryboy> NorthByNorthWest,
[18:09] <imaginaryboy> 8800gt support comes with new 169.04 nvidia drivers
[18:10] <Filled-Void> santh_, By clicking on it?
[18:10] <vee_> devilsadvocate at this point I only have Ubunutu on it... but I will keep it to just one primary for now.... and logical for all oterh partitions
[18:10] <santh_> how to click
[18:10] <santh_> i cant find it
[18:10] <nils_> hey guys
[18:10] <Filled-Void> AFAIK there should be a torrent client installed by default
[18:10] <XxValetexX> santh_: thats y I use deluge
[18:10] <NorthByNorthWest> imaginaryboy: according to 'NVIDIA X Server Settings' I have 169.07 installed
[18:10] <PirateHead> Filled-Void: It's a crappy torrent client, but it will download torrent files.
[18:10] <imaginaryboy> ah ok
[18:10] <nils_> how can I boot the desktop livecd without X11 (I only want console because I use it via IP KVM)?
[18:10] <imaginaryboy> so it's ok
[18:10] <santh_> help me plz
[18:11] <graelin> what config would I alter vmalloc size in? Getting NVRM rmInitadapter failed error.. says to boost the vmalloc size
[18:11] <Filled-Void> PirateHead, hey it does work. I hear that deluge is good . but I think it kind of hogs resources :x
[18:11] <santh_> what is deluge
[18:11] <XxValetexX> santh_: maybe using deluge and starting it over would be asier for you?
[18:11] <PirateHead> nils_: Can't. Use the server CD instead.
[18:11] <cheeby> Filled-Void, yeah.  superkaramba requires kdelibs and I think kdebase.
[18:11] <NorthByNorthWest> imaginaryboy: I would think so, but compiz wont enable!
[18:11] <Karyom> PirateHead have you tried KTorrent?!
[18:11] <XxValetexX> santh_: or you can just browse your files and check where you are downloading it to and click it
[18:11] <Filled-Void> cheeby, Whichis why i satyed away from it
[18:11] <jakel1> how do i list partitions to find out which one has windows installed to it?
[18:11] <santh_> how to resume download from bit torrent plz help me
[18:11] <santh_> how to resume download from bit torrent plz help me
[18:11] <santh_> how to resume download from bit torrent plz help me
[18:11] <nils_> PirateHead: alright. Will I get a normal console then, or only setup dialog?
[18:11] <Nostahl> im having troubles using flash drives with ubuntu. it says i do not have permissions to use them?
[18:12] <imaginaryboy> maybe you have problems with xorg.conf, some particoular settings in it for the 8800gt... but I cannot help you , sorry :(
[18:12] <cheeby> Filled-Void, yeah.  and oops, kdebase is gentoo-speak.
[18:12] <PirateHead> Filled-Void: GTK-based Deluge, Qt-based Ktorrent, and Java-based Azureus are all good clients. The one that comes with Ubuntu is very bare-bones, implementing only the most basic functionality.
[18:12] <Pici> !repeat | santh_
[18:12] <ubotu> santh_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[18:13] <Karyom> have tried the Torrend client from Gnome, it didn't start
[18:13] <RenatoSilva> DIR=$(dirname "$(readlink -f $0)") is a good way to get script dir?
[18:13] <Filled-Void> PirateHead, Agreed
[18:13] <santh_> i download a file in bittorrent then i shut down the system. i want to resume that download what to do
[18:13] <jakel1> i need to determine whether  windows is installed to hd0,0 or hd0,1 or something else.... how can i find this out?
[18:13] <imaginaryboy> Filled-Void, deluge is the best in my opinion for gnome desktop. If you want some lightweighted try transmission, always for gnome
[18:14] <PirateHead> santh_: What bittorrent client are you using? That's an important factor,
[18:14] <Pici> santh_: just open the torrent file and save it at the same location you started the other one at. it should resume.
[18:14] <Clearzen> jakel1: I believe that is the setup command from within grub
[18:14] <Nostahl> how can i change the permissions on flash drives to my user instead of root only
[18:14] <Filled-Void> imaginaryboy, My crappy connection has a 1gb lmiit so I dont download from torrents alot . However I do have 2 MBps as speed :x
[18:14] <Clearzen> jakel1: sorry it is find not setup
[18:14] <santh_> i am using ubunt 7.10
[18:15] <Clearzen> !grub

[18:15] <PirateHead> Filled-Void: 1gb per what time unit?
[18:15] <XxValetexX> !lilo
[18:15] <ubotu> lilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead.
[18:15] <XxValetexX> why is it recommended to use Grub instead of LILO?
[18:15] <jakel1> clearzen: find then what?
[18:16] <jakel1> or do i just type find?
[18:16] <imaginaryboy> I have to go now, bye @ all
[18:16] <Nostahl> what do i search for im trying to figure out how to allow my user to access flash drives instead of just root
[18:16] <XxValetexX> imaginaryboy: bbye
[18:16] <PirateHead> XxValetexX: It's better-supported and more developed technololgy.
[18:16] <Filled-Void> PirateHead, Nope :( I month I can upload / download 1 Gb only . The connection is kind of cheap also. INR 250 . For unlimted it is INR 900 with 256 kbps
[18:16] <Filled-Void> PirateHead, No other providers
[18:16] <santh_> how to enable trash
[18:16] <XxValetexX> PirateHead: OH TY
[18:16] <barbarella> jakel1:fdisk -l
[18:16] <XxValetexX> PirateHead: :)
[18:16] <RenatoSilva> DIR=$(dirname "$(readlink -f $0)") is a good way to get script dir?
[18:17] <Pici> RenatoSilva: This would be better answered in #bash, since you don't seem to be getting an answer here.

[18:17] <Nostahl> pici do you by chance know what i need to do to give permissions to my user account to access my flash drive
[18:18] <Nostahl> pici it says root under permissions on it only atm
[18:18] <rskousen> How do I make a remastered ubuntu/kubuntu CD with system settings like hostname and network settings customized as well?
[18:18] <Clearzen> jakel1: find /boot/grub/stage1
[18:18] <jakel1> that just tells me where grub is installed
[18:19] <jakel1> not where windows is
[18:19] <Pici> Nostahl: Either use sudo to access it (which you probably dont want to do), or chown the mount point to your user
[18:19] <Filled-Void> How would I make a correct backup of my system in such a way that i can install all programsna nd updates I have at the moment in one go?
[18:19] <cheatr> rskousen: I would try out reconstructor
[18:19] <jakel1> i am trying to add windows to the boot loader
[18:19] <Nostahl> !chown
[18:19] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[18:20] <barbarella> jakel1:fdisk -l, to find out where the partition is
[18:20] <cheatr> Filled-Void: You could copy everything in / to an external hard drive
[18:20] <Nostahl> pici what do i search for to learn how to use chown
[18:20] <jakel1> fdisk -l does not list anything
[18:20] <jakel1> just returns a new command line
[18:20] <Pici> Nostahl: man chown
[18:20] <Pici> jaggy: sudo fdisk -l
[18:20] <Nostahl> !man chown
[18:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about man chown - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:20] <Filled-Void> cheatr, How would I reinstall that on my hard disk ? Install Ubuntu and then cpy all contents from cd to / ?
[18:20] <jakel1> ah ok,,,
[18:20] <Pici> Nostahl: on your terminal.
[18:20] <jaggy> Pici what ?
[18:21] <Nostahl> got it ty
[18:21] <PirateHead> Nostahl: that's a terminal command. "man" means read manual pages.
[18:21] <Pici> jaggy: sorry, tab-complete mishap
[18:21] <verve> is there any problems charging iPods through USB in Linux?
[18:21] <jaggy> xd
[18:21] <jakel1> i see... but it doesn't distinguish whether it is hd0,0 or hd0,1
[18:21] <cheatr> Filled-Void: You would reinstall Ubuntu and then boot off of the live cd. From the live cd you could copy the files back
[18:21] <nownot> running ubuntu server can i run wireshark in gui mode?
[18:21] <jakel1> that's what i need to determine
[18:21] <PirateHead> verve: Some people do have problems, but most older ipods should have good support.
[18:21] <verve> the icon on it says charging.. maybe it takes longer than i thought, but i didn't seem to use that much of the battery last night
[18:21] <Pici> nownot: Not if you havent installed an X server.
[18:21] <verve> PirateHead: it's a Nano 3G
[18:21] <PirateHead> !ipod | verve

[18:21] <rich__> how do create a filesystems
[18:21] <rskousen> cheatr: thx, I have been working with remastersys, and doing the manual way ie chroot and mkisofs, but I can't seem to make the changes stick, even editing casper init scripts and rebuilding initgrz, I will give reconstructor a go
[18:22] <nownot> what would that package be?
[18:22] <jakel1> i have windows and linux installed on the same drive, but i need to add windows to the bootloader
[18:22] <Dr_willis> jakel1,  if windows is on hda1, theres a example entry in the menu.lst for it - you can just uncomment.

[18:22] <Filled-Void> cheatr, That sounds feasible thanks. Is there anyway I could like create an install which includes all these debs (I ahve 580 M of them with updates and stuff) and get them to install while installing Ubuntu?
[18:22] <verve> PirateHead: meh, not the same issue.. files transfer fine with Amarok & libgpod3 0.6.0
[18:22] <jason___> Hello all
[18:22] <jakel1> windows is on /dev/sda2
[18:23] <nils_> hmm seems like the server version doesn't contain any livecd, just setup
[18:23] <PirateHead> verve: So it just isn't getting any charge?
[18:23] <cheatr> Filled-Void: remaster is meant to be able to do that. I personally haven't used it though.
[18:23] <jakel1> Dr_willis:
[18:23] <xamox> what's a good sound mixer package? Ubuntu has my sound working correctly but I want to mute my microphone because it is staying on and giving feedback. I want to keep my mic because I use it with skype.
[18:23] <cheatr> Filled-Void: However, it won't back up your personal documents and settings (afaik)
[18:23] <jakel1> alsamixer in command line xamox

[18:24] <verve> PirateHead: well i'm not sure.. i've had it plugged in for almost an hour now, little less.. but i didn't seem to use much of the battery last night
[18:24] <bluefox83> i already asked in #xchat, so i suppose i'll ask in here since i didn't et an answer...the bar at the top of xchat that has file and view and all those things, is gone and i have no idea how to bring it back, i've even tried restarting xchat...anyone know how to fix it?
[18:24] <verve> like maybe 1/4 of it, or less
[18:24] <jason___> i am having a hard time finding them...
[18:24] <jakel1> jason_ gnome-look.org
[18:24] <verve> thought it'd be full by now
[18:24] <vee_> devilsadvocate I have two 500 gb drives, can each drive have up to 4 primaries or is it 4 primaries total?
[18:24] <Filled-Void> cheatr, Thanks will check that too. I was hoping of somehow make an image and just install everything as it is in one go :x .  have tonnes of documents also like assignments and stuff :(
[18:24] <jakel1> Dr_willis: windows is on /dev/sda2
[18:24] <bluefox83> nevermind, it's f9
[18:24] <Nostahl> woot im using a flash drive lol
[18:24] <nils_> damn it
[18:24] <Nostahl> i wonder why it didnt work out of the box
[18:25] <Dr_willis> jakel1,  so? :) you will need to change the example entry then I guess. with the right hd##
[18:25] <Nostahl> and i had to chown to my user name manualy to let me write to flash drives
[18:25] <barbarella> jakel1:and (0,1) on menu.lst
[18:25] <jason___> thank you.
[18:25] <whochismo> Hi all again!
[18:25] <jakel1> Dr_willis: yes but i dnt know what the correct hd#,# is that is what i need to know
[18:25] <jason___> on gnome-look.org i am not sure what to download
[18:26] <whochismo> poningru_, finally i've repaired my computer
[18:26] <jakel1> what barbarella?
[18:26] <cheatr> Filled-Void: I would also try searching the forum. There are probably other solutions there. What I did for my computer was generate a list of all installed programs. I also copied all of my documents and settings (the /home/yourusername folder) to a hard drive. Then, when I reinstalled ubuntu, I just had it install all programs from the list (there is a command to do this), and copied all of my files to my /home folder
[18:26] <jason___> i am a XP guy coming to linux for the last time.
[18:26] <vee_> I have two 500 gb drives, can each drive have up to 4 primary partions or is it 4 primary partions  total?
[18:26]  * bluefox83 wonders if barbarella is the same barbarella from irc.scifi.com back a few years ago...
[18:26] <whochismo> anyone knows if it's possible to enable compiz using the ati free drivers?
[18:26] <hodoaliu> hi
[18:27] <barbarella> jakel1:and (0,1) on menu.lst
[18:27] <Filled-Void> Ahh thats interesting. Definitely worth a shot :). Thanks for the help cheatr going to check that out
[18:27] <Dr_willis> jason___,  theres a lot of themes in the repos - not installed by default also.. of course if you are using compiz. it can use its own themes for the window decorations.
[18:27] <Tyczek> how to check if the HDD is working at full dma and 32-bit (it is 16 by standart)
[18:27] <rexy> whochismo: using the open source drivers its' possible to use compiz
[18:27] <Dr_willis> isent there a gnome tool that an auto-grab/download/install themes?
[18:27] <jakel1> barbarella: how do u know that is what i want?
[18:27] <barbarella> jakel1:look at line 39/42 in menu.lst
[18:27] <whochismo> rexy, but how? i've been trying for more than an hour
[18:27] <cheatr> Filled-Void: No problem. I'm not in irc often, but you can look me up on the forums (cheater) and send me an email if you want more help
[18:27] <jakel1> yes.....
[18:27] <whochismo> in every tutorial that i've read, they end up changing to the restricted drivers..
[18:27] <jakel1> ok
[18:27] <Filled-Void> Thanks . you ar eon ubuntuforums right?
[18:28] <rexy> whochismo: not sure, there's a wiki about it i think
[18:28] <barbarella> jakel1:line 40 must be:  root          (hd0,1)
[18:28] <rexy> whochismo: i got it working using the open source driver, what video card do you have?
[18:28] <Filled-Void> jason___, Thersa very basic guide to themeing here at tuxenclave.wordpress.com
[18:28] <cheatr> Filled-Void: Yeah, cheater on ubuntuforums
[18:28] <jakel1> but my question is how do u know it is on hd0,1?
[18:29] <whochismo> an ati mobility raden x600
[18:29] <rich__> how do create a filesystems
[18:29] <bluefox83> Jakal, first partition of first hard drive...that's what that notation means
[18:29] <Pici> !gparted | rich__
[18:29] <ubotu> rich__: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
[18:29] <rich__> it says device busy or in use
[18:29] <stoone> hi, how to install postfix and exim4 the same time? i have postfix running but i want to switch to exim but during the change i want to have both, but when i trie to install exim4 it sais that it will remove postfix.
[18:29] <jakel1> then what is hd0,0?
[18:29] <rexy> whochismo: should work i'd say, got any usefull errors in X log?
[18:29] <cheatr> rich__: unmount the device/drive
[18:30] <rich__> its not mounted
[18:30] <Filled-Void> jakel1, First partitino on first drive
[18:30] <whochismo> if I run the "compiz" command, I get: Checking for Xgl: not present.
[18:30] <jason___> thanks DR and Void
[18:30] <jason___> i will look this afternoon  i have bookmarked the info
[18:30] <jakel1> Filled-Void i thought hd0,1 was first partition on first drive
[18:30] <Filled-Void> AFAIK  drive and partition numbering starts from 0 might want to confirm
[18:31] <bluefox83> jake_, uhm...either boot sector or first partition of first drive, and hd0,1 is second partition of first drive...i don't know if it starts counting at zero for both partition and drive...
[18:31] <whochismo> rexy: plus "Blacklisted PCIID '1002:5462' found" and "aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity" (nothing else)
[18:31] <rich__> then what do i do?
[18:31] <MasterShrek> Filled-Void, in grub they do, in the os they start at 1
[18:31] <jakel1> so i want to replace hd0,0 with hd0,1 ?
[18:31] <Filled-Void> MasterShrek, Thanks I need to check that up more I still have this weird WIndows XP and Ubuntu dual boot problem on a sata and ide
[18:31] <jakel1> basicallt
[18:32] <grep100> hd and not sd?
[18:32] <bluefox83> doesn't grub use the bsd method of drive identifying?
[18:32] <MasterShrek> jake_, if you want to use the second partition on the first hard drive
[18:32] <rich__> what do I do blood?
[18:32] <jakel1> oh ok...which i probably do since the windows was installed after ubuntu
[18:32] <seenu> hi
[18:32] <jakel1> brb... i'm gonna try it and see if this works
[18:33] <seenu> can anyone temme how to run a java prg thru gcj
[18:33] <rich__> its funny because i ahve posted on ubuntu forum and there are loads of views but no responses, looks like no one knows how to make the FS when that error apperats.
[18:33] <rexy> whochismo: oooh,
[18:33] <rexy> whochismo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=611877 maybe that helps
[18:33] <Pici> seenu: java programname
[18:34] <sofbored> why ~/bin is not added to the PATH at startup even if .bash_profile tells to do so?
[18:34] <whochismo> oh, thanks!
[18:34] <whochismo> let me check
[18:34] <MasterShrek> sofbored, is it: export $PATH=$PATH:~/bin     ?
[18:35]  * loa_ slap coldboot with a tortoise.
[18:35] <rexy> whochismo: were you using the binary ati drivers (flg something) or the open source ati/radeon drivers?
[18:35] <loa_> i found another cool option
[18:35] <bullgard4> "$ uname -r; 2.6.22-14-generic." Why do I need the directory /usr/src/linux-2-6-22.4?
[18:35] <whochismo> rexy, they say to install the restricted drivers...
[18:35] <stoone> how to install exim4 without removing postfix? apt-get install exim4 wants to remove postfix.
[18:36] <sofbored> MasterShrek: I have to manually add it anytime ...gonna check again anyway
[18:36] <rexy> whochismo: from what i gather ubuntu blacklists some cards because they dont work that well, also said ati/radeon drivers where not blacklisted, so i'd try those then if the binary restricted drivers aint working
 hello
[18:36] <astaX> [19:34] <astaX> i've octave ver. 3.0
[18:36] <astaX> [19:35] <astaX> and the command gsplot give this message
[18:36] <astaX> [19:35] <astaX> error: undefined near line 1
[18:36] <astaX> [19:35] <astaX> why?
[18:36] <jakel1> wtf... now it's only booting windows now...
[18:36] <jakel1> back to where i started
[18:36] <nownot> anybody here good with wireshark i can pm for help?
[18:36] <rexy> your syntax is incorrect, also dont paste
[18:36] <jakel1> it doesn't even show grub
[18:36] <MasterShrek> !grub
[18:36] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[18:36] <MasterShrek> jakel1, follow the first link
[18:36] <rexy> nownot: just ask here or in the wireshark channel if there is one?
[18:37] <jakel1> MasterShrek: i did those steps
[18:37] <MasterShrek> jakel1, also it may be wise to write or draw out your partition scheme so you dont get confused when setting up
[18:37] <nownot> if i want to use wireshark but only for specific ports ie traffic in and out of <IP_ADDRESS> what would the command look like
[18:38] <MasterShrek> jakel1, well obviously you didnt if grub doesnt load, windows still "owns" the mbr
[18:38] <stoone> nownot: try the filter: tcp.port == xy
[18:38] <jakel1> well after i did it linux started up
[18:38] <jakel1> but the bootloader never came up
[18:38] <MasterShrek> hmm
[18:38] <jakel1> and i went to edit the menu.lst file
[18:39] <grep100> anytime you install windows, any windows product or reinstall windows it will overwrite the mbr and you will lose access to grub
[18:39] <mike4785> hey everyone
[18:39] <mike4785> does anyone here use netbeans?
[18:39] <Trae> can Ubuntu open rar files by default? (and if so what tool can) and if not is there an easy UI to do it?
[18:39] <rexy> nownot: there are some examples if you click on the filter button, something with port == <portnumber> iirc
[18:39] <MasterShrek> !rar | Trae
[18:39] <PurpZeY> Trae: Yes.
[18:39] <PurpZeY> Trae: It's called file roller
[18:39] <jakel1> ok...well screw grub... is there a way to use windows bootloader instead
[18:39] <nownot> im doing straight gui b/c im on ubuntu server
[18:39] <iOn|FuXeD> Trae rar is in the repo, not installed by default
[18:39] <MasterShrek> jakel1, its much harder than using grub
[18:39] <ubotu> Trae: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[18:39] <MasterShrek> i dont eve know if its possible
[18:39] <mike4785> everytime i install it, it will load fine but then when the gui opens up its grey but i can still use it i.e. i can open up a new file
[18:40] <grep100> yes actually you can use the windows boot loader to load linux
[18:40] <MasterShrek> jakel1, you are better off using grub, its not that hard, you probably missed something
[18:40] <jakel1> MasterShrek, well it is very hard... if followed the steps exactly for about 3 hrs now, and it's not working
[18:40] <mike4785> does anyone here use netbeans?
[18:40] <mike4785> everytime i install it, it will load fine but then when the gui opens up its grey but i can still use it i.e. i can open up a new file
[18:41] <Pici> mike4785: You might want to make sure that you are using java5 or java6 and not the gcj java.
[18:41] <jakel1> i changed the menu.lst to hd0,1 and now it's only booting windows
[18:41] <mike4785> is this a error with netbeans or with my graphics card?
[18:41] <mike4785> j
[18:41] <mike4785> k
[18:41] <sofbored> MasterShrek: sorry for insisting but the last line in my bash_profile reads a bit different. It doesn't export it
[18:41] <Trae> !unrar-free
[18:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about unrar-free - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:41] <Pici> mike4785: if you have the java packages installed, you can do `sudo update-alternative --config java` to change it.
[18:41] <MasterShrek> sofbored, iirc, i always had export in there...
[18:42] <grep100> to use the windows bootloader, which I don't recommend, all you have to do is edit the boot.ini file in windows, you need to learn the arcpath syntax but its not very difficult
[18:42] <george1974> hello...
[18:42] <nownot> stoone: i dont understand with the tcp thing
[18:42] <george1974> I would like to ask if there is any opensource CRM that I could use that is based on Php and Mysql?

[18:49] <Whitor> hi, How do I empty trash in KDE? I don't have a trash icon on my desktop...
[18:49] <|Zippo|> somebody uses a linux floppy disk?
[18:49] <Dr_willis> Whitor,  dont have one on the panel? bottom right?
[18:50] <Whitor> Dr_willis: nope
[18:50] <laughzilla> hi :)  in ubuntu 7.10, what' the syntax of the gnome explorer or firefox to use  scp to a remote server?  ie: in konqueror it's:  fish://blah.tld
[18:50] <vee_> Pici could you help me on partitioning my drive.... I plan to use 30 gbs for "/" , 5 gbs for swap and the rest of my 500 gb for "/home"
[18:50] <mike4785> i did the command i selected java runtime to be used opened netbeans and still get a grey box
[18:50] <Whitor> Dr_willis: didn't have volume either ... had to install kmix
[18:50] <MasterShrek> sofbored, try replacing that with: export $PATH=$PATH:~/bin
[18:50] <Dr_willis> Whitor,  what ya do with it? :) ya could go to trash:/ in koneueror i guess.
[18:50] <Pici> vee_: okay.
[18:50] <wweasel> bronzewalla: My 2nd gen nano worked out of the box. I know Apple applied new encryption to the 3rd gen nano which screwed everything up. See this for a fix: http://lilserenity.wordpress.com/2007/12/22/virgin-mobile-praise-ubuntu-and-ipod-nano-3g/
[18:50] <vee_> Pici Im not sure in what order it should be partitioned... primary/logical
[18:51] <Whitor> Dr_willis: Konquerer doesn't have trash icon either
[18:51] <Pici> vee_: Er, I usually leave it whatever the defaults are honestly.
[18:51] <Dr_willis> Whitor,  you could right click on the panel add applet to panel 'trashcan' or whatever its called.
[18:51] <sofbored> MasterShrek: tnx for the input. But I was wondering why .bash_profile comes like that
[18:51] <unagi> themes arent showing up in the theme manager......anyone know why?
[18:52] <wweasel> My laptop is being repaired under warranty and I have no trust that they will leave my 2 Ubuntu partitions alone and safe; how would you recommend I backup the entire partitions to an external hard drive, so I can later restore them?
[18:52] <vee_> Pici i see, if i leave it up to the defaults it makes my swap 12.2
[18:52] <bronzewalla> thanks, yeah my 2nd gen nano worked fine out the of the box, but my girlfriends new video nano wouldn't work
[18:52] <MasterShrek> i dont know sofbored
[18:52] <Pici> vee_: I mean, use the default partition type that it suggests, not necessarily the default sizes.
[18:52] <Whitor> Dr_willis: Thanks... that did the trick
[18:52] <sofbored> MasterShrek: ok. Thanks anyway
[18:53] <vee_> Pici you mean use guided then?
[18:53] <Dr_willis> Whitor,  i Much perer trash in the panel where i an alwyas get to it. ;)
[18:53] <Pici> vee_: I dont know... its been a while since I did a fresh install, I can't even remember what the screen looks like, sorry.

[18:55] <vee_> can anyone else provide assist. with partitioning? specifically order or partitions.
[18:55] <brobostigon> Nostahl: gtkpod is purely for ipod
[18:55] <Nostahl> ah
[18:55] <vee_> that was order of partitions
[18:55] <Nostahl> what should i get for my sandisk m240 mp3 player
[18:55] <RenatoSilva> #pidgin
[18:56] <PurpZeY> Nostahl: Have you checked the forums?
[18:56] <Nostahl> no
[18:56] <Nostahl> thought someone in here would know easily
[18:56] <PurpZeY> Nostahl: That's a good place to start with things like b/c someone is bound to have the same mp3 player
[18:56] <Xintruder> hi
