[06:56] <bitmouse> scunizi: which one's are better? any prefernce?
[06:56] <jcbchadwick43> Well i have to send mine of to get my Hard drive replaced.
[06:56] <jcbchadwick43> SSSOooooo
[06:56] <jcbchadwick43> I have to use my moms
[06:56] <DistroJockey> gbear14275, PAE is slower
[06:56] <jcbchadwick43> I know.
[06:56] <jcbchadwick43> It sucks
[06:56] <Takuya> hrmm it doesn't know --force-overwrite , man pages are being useless
[06:56] <jcbchadwick43> and for 2 WEEKS!!!!!!!
[06:56] <j0ey> apt-get --help, Takuya
[06:56] <gbear14275> DistroJockey: I tried using PAE without much success, you ever tried to implement it?
[06:56] <joot> ops
[06:56] <j0ey> See what it'll let you do.
[06:56] <Takuya> ha I was >_<

[06:57] <nomono> I need some help configuring a Thomson Wireless modem please?
[06:57] <jcbchadwick43> i can help
[06:57] <DistroJockey> gbear14275, nope, never had more than 3GB of RAM :(
[06:57] <adam7_> gigel2006: you can try Wicd (http://wicd.net)
[06:57] <bitmouse> macjason0607: check this out mate https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC#VNC%20Servers
[06:57] <bitmouse> gigel2006: I liked Wicd, it worked for me
[06:57] <gigel2006> adam7_: finally someone THANKS !!!
[06:57] <gbear14275> its cheap these days, I picked up 4gig's for 80 bucks and that was laptop too... i dont have a desktop yet but i would imagine its cheaper
[06:57] <jcbchadwick43> first join my chat room and I will help you
[06:58] <Takuya> apparently it DOESN'T now how to overwrite?
[06:58] <Omar87> nomono: What is your problem?
[06:58] <adam7_> Takuya: do you have the deb on your computer? dpkg takes the --force-overwrite swithc, I think
[06:58] <j0ey> Takuya: You'd think there would be a --force option.
[06:58] <DistroJockey> gbear14275, yeah, I'm a tight @$$
[06:58] <gigel2006> HELP, with the new kernel I can't connect to any wireless!! the blue bubble doesn't turn blue!! 27-7 works fine if I restart in it. my device has a  ath9k chipset, but my usb alfa doesn't work eitehr in 27-9
[06:58] <Takuya> oh dpkg.. hrm

[06:59] <ghang> SCIM has exited abnormally.
[06:59] <ghang> what happen to my SCIM , I can't open it , anyone can help me?
[06:59] <jeancalvin> (I didn't have the problem in older version of ubuntu)
[06:59] <jcbchadwick43> Should I leave now?
[06:59] <DistroJockey> gbear14275, heh. Yeah, but really my mobos don't support much atm
[06:59] <Takuya> I don't have the ifile on my computer
[06:59] <nomono> Omar87, for some reason, the system doesn't detect my Wireless modem, the "available connections" icon doesn't show up at all.
[06:59] <gbear14275> DistroJockey: too bad, but anyways, thank you again for the help, I'll stop monopolizing your time
[07:00] <Omar87> nomono: Hmm, that's strange..
[07:00] <scunizi> When I'm in tty3 running irssi and return to tty7 (gui) the screen has a white block in the upper right portion of the screen that's pretty large.  It doesn't move and carries from one desktop to the next. other than restarting x how do I refresh the screen or get rid of it?
[07:00] <Omar87> nonomo: Can you give me the output for "ifconfig"?
[07:00] <DistroJockey> gbear14275, no problem. Nice chatting :)
[07:02] <gigel2006> HELP, with the new kernel I can't connect to any wireless!! the blue bubble doesn't turn blue!! 27-7 works fine if I restart in it. my device has a  ath9k chipset, but my usb alfa doesn't work eitehr in 27-9
[07:02] <nomono> Omar87, here you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/77978/
[07:03] <Omar87> Hmm okay, looks like you don't have a problem here.
[07:03] <jeancalvin> using amarok, what's the command to connect with iPod?
[07:03] <nomono> Omar87, What?
[07:04] <Omar87> nomono: It's seems like your wireless okay, and you don't have a problem with it.
[07:04] <DistroJockey> jeancalvin, seen so many people ask about that. I have no idea but surely the forums are full of answers if nobody can help here
[07:04] <nomono> Omar87, Oh ok.
[07:04] <takuya_> well a restart didn't help
[07:04] <jeancalvin> DistroJockey: ok.
[07:04] <takuya_> any ideas?
[07:05] <takuya_> It doesn't want to overwrite libglx.so
[07:05] <Omar87> nomono: give me the output for "lspci | grep wlan0"
[07:06] <skye__> #ardour
[07:06] <takuya_> boo </3 nVidia.
[07:06] <takuya_> j0ey: do you have any suggestions?
[07:06] <jeancalvin> how do i mount my iPod?
[07:07] <jeancalvin> or: how do i connect to my iPod?
[07:07] <jeancalvin> where's my iPod located.
[07:07] <makario> jeancalvin: Normally, you just...plug it in...at least, that's what I thought.
[07:07] <makario> jeancalvin: /media/ipod
[07:07] <jeancalvin> makario: but amarok is not that smart
[07:07] <nomono> nomono, No, thank you, you don't sound like an expert to me..
[07:07] <nomono> I need some help configuring a Thomson Wireless modem please?
[07:07] <ardchoille> jeancalvin: I just did this today, install gtkpod and use that with your ipod
[07:07] <jeancalvin> nomono: you talking to yourself
[07:07] <makario> jeancalvin: Banshee also works great.
[07:08] <nomono> jeancalvin, No sorry, I meant Omar87
[07:08] <takuya_> Anyone?
[07:08] <jeancalvin> ardchoille: actually i've been using gtkpod in previous ubuntu versions. but with 8.10, gtkpod is SO SO VERY slow with overy cleak i do.
[07:08] <jeancalvin> spelling: with every click I do.
[07:08] <freyyr> Hi, I just upgraded to Intrepid and the latest fglrx isn't working with my Radeon 9550.  is there a workaround?
[07:08] <nomono> Omar87, No, thank you, you don't sound like an expert to me..
[07:08] <tin> amarok is that smart to find ipods
[07:08] <ardchoille> jeancalvin: ok, also someone told me that rhythmbox works with ipods
[07:08] <jeancalvin> ardchoille: i can play ipod songs on Rythymbox, but can't edit, add, etc.
[07:09] <ardchoille> jeancalvin: oh, ok
[07:09] <frank_lin> ls
[07:10] <adam7_> nomono: what does sudo iwlist scan give you?
[07:10] <freyyr> anybody?
[07:10] <frank_lin> here
[07:10] <vae345> what is most supported/widely used , kde or gnome?
[07:11] <nomono> adam7_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/77979/
[07:11] <adam7_> vae345: on ubuntu, probably gnome. if you ask in #kubuntu, you'll get a different answer :)
[07:11] <frank_lin> both,vae345
[07:11] <vae345> what will work best on p2, 700mhz, 512ram
[07:11] <adam7_> nomono: I think you missed the scan part of sudo iwlist scan :)
[07:11] <adam7_> vae345: openbox?
[07:12] <NonFish_> are basic linux software questions that are not ubuntu-specific on topic here?
[07:12] <juampa> hola
[07:12] <juampa> alguien de chile?
[07:12] <vae345> is it easy to install on ubuntu
[07:12] <adam7_> NonFish_: if you're running said program on Ubuntu, perhaps
[07:12] <joot> ! es
[07:12] <ardchoille> vae345: might also try fluxbox
[07:12] <adam7_> vae345: sudo apt-get install openbox
[07:12] <vae345> NonFish_ yes if you word it properly ;)
[07:12] <nomono> adam7_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/77981/

[07:35] <ardchoille> ChrisStone: read that webpage
[07:35] <ChrisStone> btw i came here by googling the chat room and then downloading the chat client
[07:35] <baKka> hallo
[07:35] <forcumang> oh i see
[07:35] <ChrisStone> im so lost
[07:36] <ardchoille> ChrisStone: read this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[07:36] <ChrisStone> okay thanks

[07:36] <Oneiroii> Anyone know of a simple IRC client with a variable-transparency backdrop?
[07:37] <ChrisStone> btw i hate firefox whats the best browser i can get on here?
[07:37] <adam7_> Oneiroii: xchat?
[07:37] <Oneiroii> adam7_: Not simple, though, is it?
[07:37] <ardchoille> ChrisStone: heh, firefox :)
[07:37] <adam7_> ChrisStone: Firefox, but you can use Opera or Epiphany though
[07:37] <ChrisStone> thank you joot and ardchille
[07:37] <Oneiroii> adam7_: I meant simple like LostIRC (what I use now)
[07:37] <ChrisStone> i dont like opera either >,>
[07:37] <joot> ChrisStone: np
[07:37] <adam7_> Oneiroii: depends on your definition of simple. Xchat is fairly simple, irssi is my idea of complicated (but it isn't really too bad)
[07:37] <VistaUser> any good progs i should have on ubuntu?
[07:37] <ChrisStone> ill try epiphany
[07:38] <ChrisStone> im glad i found this chat room.
[07:38] <ardchoille> VistaUser: depends on what you want to do
[07:38] <joot> Vistauser; that is such a big question
[07:38] <WIGGMPk> I am running Intrepid Ibex (amd64) and using Compiz Fusion and Emerald.. I added "emerald --replace&" to automatically start (in the sessions application) its not working... I have to run the command manually every time I reboot

[07:39] <joot> !perl
[07:39] <ardchoille> VistaUser: there ya go, see what joot is doing
[07:39] <VistaUser> nope
[07:39] <joot> !Perl
[07:40] <VistaUser> Perl?
[07:40] <ardchoille> Python is the preferred language iirc
[07:40] <UnknownUser57> !menu
[07:40] <Resistol> I can't boot using the live cd on my dell vostro 1000 laptop - I get "MP-BIOS bug:8254" error, then a bunch of repeating "buffer I/O error on device sr0" errors.  any help?
[07:40] <adam7_> VistaUser: then start with HTML or Python (they're easiest)
[07:40] <joot> !C++
[07:40] <gigel2006> HELP, with the new kernel I can't connect to any wireless!! the blue bubble doesn't turn blue!! 27-7 works fine if I restart in it. my device has a  ath9k chipset, but my usb alfa doesn't work eitehr in 27-9 it freezes when it's obtainint IP adress!!!
[07:40] <VistaUser> oo kk
[07:40] <adam7_> even if html is techincally a markup language
[07:40] <UnknownUser57> oh yea
[07:41] <gnutron> VistaUser: install build-essential  and write/compile and run C in minutes
[07:41] <VistaUser> ok ty
[07:41] <gigel2006> anyone have any ideas ?
[07:41] <gigel2006> new kernel bug ?
[07:41] <gnutron> linux is written in C+
[07:42] <joot> VistaUser perl is another scripting language
[07:42] <VistaUser> o ok
[07:43] <transporter> does anybody know how to install a screensaver gnome
[07:44] <frankS2> apt-get install gnome-screensaver
[07:44] <Oneiroii> Forget all that high level language nonsense...  tightly coded ASM is the way to go!
[07:44] <frankS2> (put sudo infront of apt)
[07:44] <ChrisStone> okay so basically i can type in commands kinda like command prompt
[07:44] <ChrisStone> examples
[07:44] <ChrisStone> ?
[07:45] <transporter> frankS2 i have already downloaded a screensaver from gnome-look.org
[07:45] <apinunt> ubuntu 8.10 - Anyone know what needs to be done for scim to switch language in a terminal screen? It worked fine in 7.04, but doesn't in 8.10.
[07:45] <transporter> i dunno how to install it onto my system
[07:45] <ChrisStone> i think ill make my partition bigger as well
[07:45] <ChrisStone> Can i get some examples of commands to use in the terminal?
[07:46] <Oneiroii> ChrisStone: To do what?
[07:46] <gnutron> transporter: do what frankS2 said.
[07:46] <ChrisStone> im not sure
[07:46] <ChrisStone> what can i do?
[07:46] <ChrisStone> Im completely new to all this
[07:46] <ChrisStone> ive been a windows user my whole life
[07:46] <Oneiroii> ChrisStone: Well, between shell commands, shell scripts, and assembly, you can do pretty much anything
[07:46] <gnutron> windows is a toy
[07:47] <transporter> gnutron should i type in the name of the screensaver while doing that
[07:47] <ChrisStone> ive heard linux is the preferred operating system for hackers
[07:47] <ChrisStone> does that have to do with the terminal
[07:47] <ChrisStone> ?
[07:47] <Oneiroii> ChrisStone: LOL, hackers
[07:47] <ardchoille> Off topic chat is best in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[07:47] <ChrisStone> >,<
[07:47] <nathanhelp> I've just done sudo apt-get install soundtracker...now where do i find the installed program so i can make a desktop shortcut?
[07:47] <WIGGMPk> ChrisStone: you watch too many movies
[07:47] <ChrisStone> im on topic!
[07:48] <ChrisStone> :)
[07:48] <joot> ChrisStone: There are lots of examples on the page you were just reading
[07:48] <WIGGMPk> ChrisStone: no your not, this is a support channel
[07:48] <ardchoille> nathanhelp: menu items should have been created once the app is installed
[07:48] <ChrisStone> okay ill keep going
[07:48] <ChrisStone> and im gettnig support :P
[07:48] <gnutron> transporter: its probably installed system - preferences - screensaver
[07:48] <WIGGMPk> ChrisStone: lol =P
[07:48]  * Oneiroii thought we were supporting him in choosing Ubuntu over Windows...
[07:48] <transporter> frankS2: this is what it says apt-get install gnome-screensaver
[07:48] <transporter> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[07:48] <transporter> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[07:49] <frankS2> transporter: put sudo infront
[07:49] <ardchoille> transporter: use sudo
[07:49] <UnknownUser57> gnutron:In other words,does the less important things for you
[07:49] <VistaUser> learning new OS after using windows all my life is hard
[07:49] <ChrisStone> well i typed #ubuntu into the terminal and nothing happened
[07:49] <transporter> frankS2: now what?
[07:49] <WIGGMPk> its typically that way for everyone dude
[07:49] <frankS2> transporter: hit enter
[07:50]  * vs93taras sleeps
[07:50] <pretender> does any one know if there is a button that you can hit in mythtv when watching tv to start recording. like you would with a vcr and remote
[07:50] <Oneiroii> nathanhelp: If you installed soundtracker and there's no link, try looking in /usr/local/bin/
[07:50] <nathanhelp> ardchoille: mmmm nope im not seeing them
[07:50] <WIGGMPk> wasnt it hard to use windows for the first time?
[07:50] <VistaUser> but i needed change vista gave me such a head ache
[07:50] <transporter> frankS2: i have entered my password and did everything now what?
[07:50] <joot> VistaUser : Me too and it is not too hard if you get your head away from the windows minset
[07:50] <joot> mindset
[07:50] <nathanhelp> Oneiroii: Thanks ill try that.
[07:50] <WIGGMPk> joot: TRUE THAT
[07:50] <gnutron> ChrisStone: #ubuntu is the irc channel you are in now
[07:50] <WIGGMPk> MicroSoft has made computer user's idiots.. (no offense)
[07:50] <ChrisStone> ooh
 bloody
[07:51] <VistaUser> joot hoow did u do it? i am always going to the bottom left hand cornor looking for the start button
[07:51] <nathanhelp> WIGGMPk: I agree and im one of them. :) Windows has corrupted me
[07:51] <Oneiroii> VistaUser: What window manager are you using?
[07:51] <Lokin_> OK
[07:51] <ChrisStone> O.O lots of commands out there
[07:51] <VistaUser> Oneiroii what u mean??
[07:51] <ardchoille> ChrisStone: :)
[07:51] <UnknownUser57> gnutron:it's growing
[07:52] <Oneiroii> VistaUser: Well, when you installed Ubuntu, was it Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or Xubuntu?
[07:52] <WIGGMPk> nathanhelp: its not hard, if you ever took an MCSA or MCSE class, its almost laughable on how MS SAYS THINGS WORK, but its just not the same in the field and in pratice
[07:52] <joot> VistaUser : just become a random clicker for a while you may get some pleasant surprises
[07:52] <Lokin_> So I want to limit the amount of SSH connectinos I can have on My server. I want only 5 people to be able to connect at one time (for now), How should I do this????
[07:52] <VistaUser> Ubuntu
[07:52] <ChrisStone> Oh i have another question. Is wine a recommended download becuase i heard if can cause problems?
[07:52] <ChrisStone> it can cause*
[07:52] <UnknownUser57> WIGGMPk:I take it you are what you say
[07:52] <VistaUser> lol joot that kinda sounds wrong bt ok ill try
[07:53] <joot> VistaUser :If you have a question for the bot prefix with  !
[07:53] <Lokin_> anyone?????
[07:53] <VistaUser> ok
[07:53] <WIGGMPk> Lokin_: this doesnt answer your question but can be helpful. running a headless server can be difficult, webmin is a nice application that can ease administration, for beginners (no offense, just giving some choices)
[07:53] <VistaUser> is it smart?
[07:53] <ardchoille> !webmin
[07:53] <Oneiroii> LOL
[07:53] <apinunt> Are there any other ubuntu support channels?
[07:53] <WIGGMPk> UnknownUser57: "you are what you say" what you mean by that?
[07:53] <Lokin_> apt-get install webmin?
[07:53] <mahesh> how can i make black theme?
[07:53] <UnknownUser57> he mean ,weadmin
[07:53] <UnknownUser57> *webadmin
[07:53] <WIGGMPk> ardchoille: take that back.. i will kill
[07:54] <Lokin_> lol
[07:54] <joot> VistaUser : there is tons of info on all the distros on line and here at ubuntu
[07:54] <Lokin_> !webadmin
[07:54] <VistaUser> ok
[07:54] <WIGGMPk> webmin is an easy install
[07:54] <nathanhelp> WIGGMPk: Never taken them :) Been a WUser all my 27 year old life. Just now getting into Ubuntu. confusing commands when you first encounter them but once you understand them and teh principles of usage, it's quite simple. Like today i learned (about 5 minutes ago actually) that I can sudo apt-get programname/package-name, and also apt-get search program-name for potential candidates.
[07:54] <Oneiroii> No, it's webmin - just funny that it's "unsupported"
[07:54] <mahesh> BLACK THEME
[07:54] <VistaUser> !terminal
[07:54] <ardchoille> WIGGMPk: but we are not supposed to recommend webmin here
[07:54] <jeancalvin> how can i install ipod update/firmware while on ubuntu?
[07:54] <VistaUser> with itunes?
[07:54] <Lokin_> confusing? compared to BASH?
[07:55] <mahesh> OYEEE
[07:55] <Lokin_> or Batch*
[07:55] <WIGGMPk> ardchoille: aye, but it does help administration on a headless server for first time users.. so I dont RECOMMEND it but its an option lol
[07:55] <Lokin_> WIGGMPk: Any Other Ideas?
[07:55] <Lokin_> I tried making a VERY simple py script but It didn't work
[07:55] <Oneiroii> ardchoille: Not disagreeing with you, but you realize that Google's top search results for Ubuntu server installs all suggest webmin?
[07:56] <ardchoille> Oneiroii: google doesn't run this channel or make the rules here. When in rome.. ;)
[07:56] <WIGGMPk> nathanhelp: that cool that your interested in the command line way of doing things.. but a common thing I found when I started using Linux was that a lot of users are really turned off by the fact of the command line, when you really DONT need to use it.. You can basically do everything you need with a GUI in Ubuntu (some other distro's might not be true Out of the Box)
[07:56] <Lokin_> Anyone????
[07:56] <VistaUser> !dock
[07:56] <Oneiroii> ardchoille: Again, no disagreement from me - merely pointing out that if webmin is disadvisable, we should let the Ubu forums admins know :)
[07:57] <VistaUser> !simdock
[07:57] <WIGGMPk> Lokin_: sorry bud, I would have to look it up
[07:57] <ardchoille> !awn

[07:57] <ardchoille> VistaUser: want a screenshot of awn?
[07:57] <ChrisStone> ooh? ill have to check that out
[07:57] <ChrisStone> brb
[07:57] <ChrisStone> thanks
[07:58] <hateball> ChrisStone™ Have a look at http://appdb.winehq.org/ for applicationspecific instructions
[07:58] <VistaUser> ooo i had it silly me haha
[07:58] <ChrisStone> okay
[07:58] <ChrisStone> ^ ^
[07:58] <WIGGMPk> Lokin_: I really dont know if there's a way to limit SSH connections via SSH (there most likely is, but I dont know how to do it) but I DEFINATLY know that you can do it via iptables (built-in Linux firewall)
[07:58] <VistaUser> !iswinehqcompatiblewithallwindows
[07:58] <bitmouse> anybody know why this command "sudo mount -a cifs //mickey/sharename /mnt/mickey/saraswati" would return this error message "TCP name Mickey/sharename not found"
[07:58] <joot> VistaUser : info is available in the terminal   man <name>  or apropos <name>
[07:58] <VistaUser> oo kk
[07:58] <VistaUser> ty
[07:58] <ChrisStone> could have fooled me unottu
[07:58] <ChrisStone> :)
[07:59] <Lokin_> I have physical, and sshd root
[07:59] <gnutron> bitmouse: mickey is case-sensitive, everything is
[07:59] <joot> ChrisStone: #winehq may help you there
[07:59] <Oneiroii> bitmouse: Also, can you ping that server by name and get a result?
[07:59] <ChrisStone> okay ill try that thanks
[08:00] <bitmouse> Oneiroii: no, though when I type in smbclient -l mickey, I get all the expected data back
[08:00] <VistaUser> were i get wine consol?
[08:00] <ChrisStone> When i click it in and press enter nothing happens
[08:00] <Oneiroii> bitmouse: That's odd - try mount.cifs with the IP instead of the name
[08:01] <joot> ChrisStone: /join #name
[08:01] <WIGGMPk> I am running Intrepid Ibex (amd64) and using Compiz Fusion and Emerald.. I added "emerald --replace&" to automatically start (in the sessions application) its not working... I have to run the command manually every time I reboot
[08:01] <ChrisStone> aah
[08:01] <ChrisStone> okay
[08:01] <bitmouse> Oneiroii: I did and it works, I just wondered what I am doing wrong cause it would be nice to use the TCP name instead of the IP address cause the ip address isn't static
[08:01] <ChrisStone>  for applicationspecific instructions
[08:01] <ChrisStone> no such file directory
[08:02] <owen1> after i add an alias and close xterm, it disapears. why?
[08:02] <joot> ChrisStone: where are you typing /join etc
[08:02] <nomono> adam7_, it didn't work
[08:02] <ChrisStone> inside of the terminal
[08:02] <Oneiroii> bitmouse: I had the same problem and just ended up setting a static IP for the server (on a DHCP network)
[08:02] <joot> ChrisStone: Do it here
[08:03] <ChrisStone> it sais "christone@abuntu:~$
[08:03] <gnutron> owen1: you need to put it in your ~/.bashrc file
[08:03] <owen1> gnutron: thank
[08:03] <ChrisStone> oops
[08:03] <Jaymac> i've lost avi playback since yesterday.. anyone else have the same problem?
[08:03]  * gralco sees many people
[08:03] <joot> ChrisStone: go to ubuntu server where you started then type
[08:03] <bitmouse> Oneiroii: lol, yeah looks like the Hostname's aren't working, I just tried to ping my NAS using it's hostname, and no love, but when I ping the computer I am on using the hostname it works
[08:03] <WIGGMPk> I thought it was /usr/sbin/update-grub not /sbin/update-grub????
[08:03] <ChrisStone> it worked
[08:03] <ChrisStone> woot
[08:03] <ChrisStone> thanks
[08:03] <Jaymac> got sound and no video  - totem tries to search for a plugin but finds nothing
[08:04] <Oneiroii> bitmouse: Theoretically, you set the hostname for the comp you are on in the resolv.conf, so the NAS never gets called
[08:04] <ChrisStone> Oh and im a little worried.  You can basically do everything you need with a GUI in Ubuntu" I used to. it scared me off using Linux. this is my third try and once i understand things (I used to be quite good with Dos, but then windows GUI came along). Also early version of ubuntu (that i knew of, didnt have the right GUI's... meaning i had to find something i didnt know about and use c
[08:04] <nathanhelp> However...I'm back .... and now that I understand that apt get thing im wondering how simple other things are as well. (and of course powerful)
[08:04] <ChrisStone> like an antivirus?
[08:05] <joot> ChrisStone: no virii in linux
[08:05] <bitmouse> Oneiroii: I don't know what you mean exactly, I meant that I pinged a dlink NAS
[08:05] <ChrisStone> ooh
[08:05] <bitmouse> Oneiroii: or tried to
[08:05] <Oneiroii> ChrisStone: If you really feel the need for antivirus, there's ClamAV, but you likely shouldn;t need it
[08:05] <ChrisStone> weird. i guess theyre three steps ahead in the game
[08:05] <unimatrix9> everything you do in the gui is an command that can be run from the commandline
[08:05] <Oneiroii> bitmouse: Wait, who did you ping?  <IP_ADDRESS>?
[08:05] <ChrisStone> ill take your word for it
[08:05] <gbear14275> no reason not to  use clam
[08:06] <Oneiroii> gbear14275: Agreed.  Complacency is an open door to the enemy.
[08:06] <bullgard4> How to reboot into single-user mode?
[08:06] <gbear14275> linux virii while still rare will be growing with the increased userbase linux is seeing
[08:06] <toupeiro> Just don't log in as root and you should be pretty safe.  not a real need for Linux AV at this time.
[08:06] <ChrisStone> Well thank god for the creator of ubuntu. If it where as expensive as windows is i would never be able to experience it.
[08:06] <bitmouse> Oneiroii: I tried to ping the NAS I have on my network using it's TCP name, but it didn't work, but when I tried to ping the computer that I am on currently using it's TCP name, it worked, so I assume there is something wrong with using the TCP name is certain circumstances
[08:06] <gralco> nathanhelp: dos is nothing compared to the linux command line
[08:06] <ChrisStone> Im gonna go to bed its three in the morning here. Nite everyone.
[08:06] <unimatrix9> anti virus https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PandaAntivirus
[08:06] <amh> after numerous issues i'ver finally opted to reinstall 8.10.  now, after the reinstall off of CD i can't get gnome to start.
[08:07] <toupeiro> put your NAS name in /etc/hosts
[08:07] <unimatrix9> commandline version..
[08:07] <toupeiro> with its IP
[08:07] <bitmouse> Oneiroii: btw where is resolv.conf?
[08:07] <Oneiroii> bitmouse: So (assuming your current computer is MOUSE) you ran "ping MOUSE" and got a response, ne?
[08:07] <nomono> adam7_, it didn't work
[08:07] <gbear14275> i wasn't aware there are various antivirus programs available in linux
[08:07] <amh> startx returns an message saying it's not installed.
[08:07] <Oneiroii> bitmouse: /etc/resolv.conf
[08:07] <toupeiro> resolv.conf is your DNS resolver file
[08:07] <WIGGMPk> nathanhelp: the way that I see it is, that Ubuntu has done what it took windows to do in less than a quarter of the time.. like Windows 3.1 to Windows XP SP2 (I wont even go to the billion dollar mistake called Vista) took them forever to get it right just to f it all up... Ubuntu was rocky at first (former Debian stable user here) but they transformed what the "Linux Desktop" OS can be... before, Linux was really just a product
[08:07] <gbear14275> anyone have any info on whats offered? i use nod32 on my windows OS
[08:07] <ardchoille> bitmouse: find / -name resolv.conf
[08:07] <nathanhelp> gralco: My point being that Im here to learn how to use Ubuntu in a good way, rather than rely soly on GUI.
[08:08] <WIGGMPk> nathanhelp: but this is more suited for ubuntu-offtopic hehe =P
[08:08] <bitmouse> Oneiroii: exactly Oneiroii
[08:08] <amh> and then it suggests apt-get install xinit and when i do it it tells me theres nothing to update or install. what the hell is going on?
[08:08] <Oneiroii> bitmouse: Yeah.  If you try to access a TCP name that's defined in resolv.conf (your local host is auto defined), the nameserver is never called.  It just uses the IP given in resolv.conf
[08:09] <unimatrix9> clam antivirus , panda commanline scanner, kasparsky etc , google for linux anti virus
[08:09] <pretender>  can anyone advise how i can record from the front end (Watch live TV) is there a keyboard shortcut to start recording when watching live tv
[08:09] <toupeiro> Oneiroii>  I think you are getting resolv.conf and /etc/hosts confused?
[08:09] <Oneiroii> bitmouse: And more than likely, the definition of your computer in resolv.conf is something like "MOUSE localhost <IP_ADDRESS>"
[08:09] <adam7_> nomono: hm. well, I'm not sure then. You can ask the channel again and someone else will probably know
[08:09] <gralco> nathanhelp: much more flexible then windows command line eh?
[08:09] <gbear14275> interesting... I found this on linux antivirus and clamav isn't mentioned at all, must not have been around in 2002?
[08:09] <nathanhelp> gralco: much :)
[08:09] <Oneiroii> toupeiro: Is it?  Poo.  I do switch those
[08:09] <gbear14275> http://www.linux.com/articles/22899
[08:10] <bitmouse> Oneiroii: for some reason my resolv.conf only has this entry, nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:10] <unimatrix9> avast http://www.debianadmin.com/avast-antivirus-for-ubuntu-desktop.html
[08:10] <toupeiro> /etc/hosts is where you would want to define hostnames with IP's.  /etc/resolv.conf is where you would put name servers for DNS resolution
[08:10] <VistaUser> ok i think ill try to start basic coding cause i am bored
[08:10] <unimatrix9> f-prot anti virus is an other one
[08:10] <bitmouse> Oneiroii: I am using dd-wrt on that server and it will only give me the TCP name for the computer from which I am accessing it, wonder how to change that
[08:11] <oOarthurOo> basic... does that language still exist?
[08:11] <unimatrix9> i think there is enough choice for anti virus in linux..
[08:11] <joot> VistaUser : what are you going to use??
[08:11] <Oneiroii> bitmouse: toupeiro was right, it's not resolv.conf, it's /etc/hosts
[08:11] <WIGGMPk> bitmouse: cause your behind router, that is the definitive DNS / Gateway, thats why resolv.conf shows that address
[08:12] <bitmouse> is there anyway to get these other TCP names, so i can just use them, since I am on my home network?
[08:12] <gbear14275> unimatrix9: what offerings are you aware of... I don't have one installed right now but this convo will probably spur me to get one
[08:12] <Oneiroii> bitmouse: The only time it worked for me was to run bind9 on my server, and use static IP for all the local network devices - I'm sure there's an easier way, though
[08:13] <nathanhelp> I've had a look in usr/local/bin, theres nothing in there. where else would i look for the installed soundtracker?
[08:13] <toupeiro> bitmouse:  some routers cache these name records.  If it does not, your best bet is to put the names into the /etc/host files (or in windows: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc)
[08:14] <toupeiro> and if you are using host files, be sure you are NOT using DHCP on your NAS, or you could potentially have to update those files a lot.
[08:14] <joot> gbbear14275, unimatrix9, you may wish to read this..   http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[08:14] <amh> can anyone help me with my gnome issue on 8.10?
[08:14] <Oneiroii> nathanhelp: Did you try "locate soundtracker"?
[08:14] <WIGGMPk> nathanhelp: might have to install locate "sudo apt-get install locate"
[08:15] <unimatrix9> as i mentioned earlier, there is : f-prot , clam , panda commandline scanner, avast, kaspersky, i believe even macfee has an linux version, now some are paid , some are free, take your pick and google for it , for example, avast anti virus linux
[08:15] <nathanhelp> ok thanks WIGGMPk and Oneiroii
[08:15] <gralco> nathanhelp: i started using ubuntu during feist, its been its gone a long way, jackalope is going to be a huge change from what i started with
[08:15] <bitmouse> cool thanks toupeiro and Oneiroii for the advice, I think I will just go with static IP since it is easier :-[
[08:15] <VistaUser> wow my internet is acting up
[08:16] <unimatrix9> VistaUser , mine too, where are you located?
[08:16] <VistaUser> Hawaii
[08:16] <unimatrix9> hmm, i am in the netherlands
[08:16] <toupeiro> Bitmouse: No problem. :)  Static IP isn't bad.
[08:16] <unimatrix9> way off
[08:16] <VistaUser> lol
[08:16] <unimatrix9> hehe
[08:16] <oOarthurOo> It's volanic activity affecting... ahh. those locations.
[08:16] <VistaUser> lol
[08:16] <joot> VistaUser : high tide lol
[08:16] <nathanhelp> uh...
[08:16] <oOarthurOo> Well... iceflows up north.
[08:16] <VistaUser> wtf haha
[08:17] <amh> can someone please help me out with this?
[08:17] <bitmouse> toupeiro: yeah, it works :)
[08:17] <oOarthurOo> amh with what?
[08:17] <nathanhelp> i just typed in locate help....terminal went nuts.
[08:17] <VistaUser> i think i got  virus haha
[08:17] <amh> oOarthurOo: i just installed 8.10 and gnome will not work nor reinstall.
[08:17] <VistaUser> i wish ubuntu was compatible with everything
[08:18] <onimpulse> hey, can someone help me out with something?
[08:18] <amh> i wish ubuntu worked.. in the slightest way.
[08:18] <oOarthurOo> amh: That is too vague. Please describe in greater detail your problem.
[08:18] <unimatrix9> got to go , bye all
[08:18] <Oneiroii> Sweet - my Windows Avast registration is valid for the Linux version
[08:18] <toupeiro> Vista> I am sure you will find that Ubuntu is compatible with many more things than Vista is.
[08:18] <amh> oOarthurOo:startx says i need to install xinit
[08:18] <VistaUser> lol is that true
[08:18] <oOarthurOo> amh and have you tried installing it?
[08:18] <amh> oOarthurOo: apt-get install xinit says i need to install xinit-common or something.
[08:19] <oOarthurOo> amh: Ok... have you tried installing xinit-common?
[08:19] <amh> oOarthurOo: and when i run xinit-common i get a message that says nothing was installed or updated etc
[08:19] <amh> oOarthurOo: it appears to be already installed.
[08:19] <oOarthurOo> amh do you know how to use pastebin?
[08:19] <VistaUser> even games compatibles
[08:19] <toupeiro> amh> you have no GUI at all right now?
[08:20] <amh> oOarthurOo: unfortunately i cant use pastebin in the scenerio.  it's on another computyer.
[08:20] <amh> toupeiro: no gui at al.
[08:20] <amh> all
[08:20] <toupeiro> amh>  what was the last thing you installed before you lost your GUI?
[08:20] <amh> toupeiro: nothing. i just installed off of the CD
[08:20] <amh> and than tried running startx
[08:20] <jusama15> Hello I just did apt-get install java-package but I get - E: Couldn't find package java-package
[08:20] <oOarthurOo> amh: Ok, you'll have to do your best ... please post the output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"
[08:21] <amh> oOarthurOo: ok, i will type it out..  i hope its not long
[08:21] <Oneiroii> Man, I remember my Gentoo Stage0 days...  how far we've come since then...
[08:21] <bitmouse> hey this is a strange question, is there a way to run something as a different user while running as root?
[08:21] <toupeiro> amh>  ok gotchya, a clean CD install then, and you never had a GUI..  my first step would be to do a: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade
[08:21] <oOarthurOo> amh:  Yes... this doesn't sound like a killer problem. Patience sounds like the key to ubuntu bliss here. Too bad you are one of those for whom the default doesn't work well.
[08:22] <toupeiro> amh> if you have already done that, there is a package called ubuntu-desktop which I believe if you remove and reinstall, it should grab and dependencies you don't have installed.
[08:22] <amh> oOarthurOo: all i see when i run that command are 6 entries that all start with 'deb" and say "interpid-security"
[08:22] <butthead> trying to follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/mrv8k but it's not working iwscan isn't showing anything. anyone have any input? or familiarity with ndiswrapper?
[08:23] <oOarthurOo> amh that sounds like your problem
[08:23] <amh> toupeiro: how do i remove and install?
[08:23] <amh> oOarthurOo: ok how do i fix this?
[08:23] <oOarthurOo> amh: maybe someone will pastebin a working ... intrepid? ... sources list for you.
[08:23] <amh> i need to disconnect this computer im on now to plug in the other machine .
[08:23] <jusama15> Can someone tell me what entries I should have in my sources.list to install java?
[08:23] <oOarthurOo> amh what country are you in and what ubuntu version do you have
[08:23] <amh> oOarthurOo:: Canada and im using 8.10
[08:23] <jusama15> All I have is - deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main
[08:24] <oOarthurOo> amh ask someone to post the output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" who is from us or canada.
[08:24] <amh> ok, well first i will try toupeiro's suggestions.. as they are above.
[08:24] <oOarthurOo> retype their output and then do this amh: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[08:25] <oOarthurOo> amh that will likely say no package found.
[08:25] <amh> ok, anything else i should try before i disconnect the internet on this machine?
[08:25] <nathanhelp> terminal is searching... how do i tell it to stop searching? *and putting entries into terminal*
[08:25] <oOarthurOo> amh: The problem seems to be that you are missing the repositories where all the software is stored. security doesn't have much. You nee the other repositories with all the software.
[08:25] <joot> nathanhelp: control c
[08:26] <nathanhelp> joot: thanks
[08:26] <DDT> #ubuntu_ru
[08:26] <amh> oOarthurOo:: is there a way to download the repositories?
[08:26] <toupeiro> anh> I just sent you my sources.list file
[08:26] <joot> nathanhelp: welcome :-)
[08:26] <toupeiro> amh>this might be a long shot, but is your mouse working in the CLI and do you have three mouse buttons?
[08:26] <DaemonLee> Problems: Whenever I boot, the status bar freezes unless I press a key. If I press ANY key, it will continue.  Shutdown/Hibernation requires the same.
[08:26] <vladtsepesh1984> hi guys i have installed acroread for pdf files, i have it in the office applications menu but i haven't it in the "open with" menu of a pdf....so how can i open a pdf with acroread????
[08:26] <oOarthurOo> amh: There is no need to disconnect the internet. When someone posts there /etc/apt/sources.list you will see what your file should look like. You can copy theirs onto your system, then save and close. Then update and upgrade and after that all should work well.
[08:27] <jusama15> Hello I just did apt-get install java-package but I get - E: Couldn't find package java-package
[08:27] <toupeiro> amh> if it is, you can highlight what I sent you.  then edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and press your middle mouse button to paste what you highlighted
[08:27] <amh> toupeiro: got your message.  what is CLI and i do have 3 buttons.
[08:27] <toupeiro> CLI = command line interface
[08:27] <ardchoille> jusama15: apt-cache search -n java
[08:27] <amh> toupeiro: no mouse.
[08:28] <amh> right now im on my mac. my ubuntu install is on a totally different computer.
[08:28] <jusama15> ardchoille, http://paste.ubuntu.com/77991/
[08:29] <jusama15> Do you think it could be my sources.list? Right now all I have is deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main
[08:29] <toupeiro> amh> ok, then just get that list into a file on your MAC.  I hope mac has ssh tools installed.  if they do type: scp <yourfilename> <yourusername>@<yourubuntuIP>:/home/<yourdirectory>
[08:29] <vladtsepesh1984> hi guys i have installed acroread for pdf files, i have it in the office applications menu but i haven't it in the "open with" menu of a pdf....so how can i open a pdf with acroread????
[08:30] <ardchoille> jusama15: first of all there is no need to log into your computer as root, sudo can do anything you need. and hold on while I check something
[08:30] <toupeiro> amh> that will copy the file to your linux machine
[08:30] <toupeiro> from there you can use sudo to copy it to /etc/apt
[08:30]  * calo http://nigma.ru/c&zopux89
[08:30]  * calo http://nigma.ru/c&zopux89
[08:30] <jusama15> ardchoille, I'm on a remote machine. I will create a user account.
[08:30] <toupeiro> amh> the file needs to be called sources.list
[08:31] <ardchoille> jusama15: some of the java stuff is in multiverse
[08:32] <toupeiro> amh>  those commands I told you to type on your MAC:  your MAC should have a command line interface.  you will need to type them there.
[08:32] <ardchoille> jusama15: enable multiverse, do "sudo apt-get update" (without quotes) and then: apt-cache search -n sun-java6
[08:32] <vladtsepesh1984> how can i know where is the acrobat reader installed files?
[08:33] <jusama15> ardoille, I don't think I have a multiverse repository
[08:33] <jusama15> Only repo I have is deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main
[08:33] <ardchoille> jusama15: it's commented out in your sources.list, you need to enable it
[08:34] <jusama15> Nope, that's the only line
[08:34] <ardchoille> jusama15: there's only one line in /etc/apt/sources.list?
[08:34] <jusama15> yes
[08:35] <Oneiroii> LMAO - I almost dropped a brick when my Net meter read 4918k Down, forgetting that Avast was scanning a local SMB drive
[08:35] <ardchoille> jusama15: hold on while I paste my sources.list
[08:35] <jusama15> ok
[08:35] <toupeiro> mods>  if you guys have any chat bots in this channel, it may be worthwhile to have default config files like sources.list in them so if peoples get blown up, they can at least get a clean one.
[08:35] <evolve_> i just went through a very painful process of installing ubuntu through a usb key on a legacy machine without an OS and USB bios support....the install finished and said it had to restart and now its saying 'no bootable devices'

[08:37] <hotmonkeyluv> Jonathan-S:  there are several causes, check the forums, there are some nice helps there
[08:37] <ardchoille> jusama15: Ok, that is Hardy Herron, if anyone asks :)
[08:37] <Lokin_> ooo
[08:37] <Lokin_> thanks
[08:37] <jusama15> lol ok
[08:38] <butthead> Jonathan-S, I didn't do a thing to fix it, I updated rebooted, ran apt-get autoclean, annoyed that I broke somehting but on the next reboot it was all well again
[08:38] <DaemonLee> Yo. I'm looking for something that can somehow figure out from the ID3 Tags what the song is, or look it up. My problem is: I have a bunch of tracks that have numbers in the beginning of the actual filename with no IDv2 or IDv3 tags.
[08:38] <ardchoille> jusama15: and here is my sources.list but you need to change "Intrepid" to "Hardy" if you use any of it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/77992/
[08:38] <Oneiroii> DaemonLee: Try MusicBrainz Picard
[08:38] <jusama15> ok thanks
[08:39] <joot> evolve: I think you need to make your flash drive bootable
[08:39] <dany_21a_> is there any known bug which causes the xorg to hog 100% CPU since the last (minor) kernel-update for 8.04? (2.6.24-22-generic)?
[08:39] <DaemonLee> Oneiroii, thanks.
[08:39] <ardchoille> DaemonLee: how do you expect to figure out the song from a non-existent id3 tag?
[08:40] <iarwain1> filename
[08:40] <iarwain1> >_<
[08:40] <ardchoille> iarwain1: he said filenames only have numbers
[08:40] <joot> evolve_: I think you need to make your flash drive bootable
[08:40] <iarwain1> ardchoille: no, only numbers in the beginning
[08:41] <dany_21a_> ardantus: music brainz and picard-tagger :)
[08:41] <jusama15>  apt-get update

[08:41] <dany_21a_> ardchoille: ^
[08:41] <jusama15> :S
[08:41] <ardchoille> jusama15: and if you change your sources.list you will need to do this to update your sources: sudo apt-get update
[08:41] <linuxnoop> how can i install directx on my wine
[08:41] <DaemonLee> Oneiroii, Do I wanna just use the Windows installer in WINE?
[08:41] <Oneiroii> DaemonLee: Nah, there's a native version out there somewhere
[08:41] <jusama15> yes I ran that command ardchoille. I got the above error
[08:42] <DaemonLee> ardchoille, the ID3 tag is technically there, but butchered, or it's half done...
[08:42] <ardchoille> jusama15: do you have another package manager open somewhere?
[08:42] <DaemonLee> Or there's a bunch of numbers.
[08:42] <Ahadiel> linuxnoop, It already supports DirectX to some degree.
[08:42] <ardchoille> DaemonLee: Ah, ok, but that isn't what I read ;)
[08:42] <Ahadiel> !wine
[08:42] <Ahadiel> !appdb > linuxnoop
[08:42] <jusama15> I don't think so
[08:42] <jusama15> let me check
[08:43] <ardchoille> jusama15: all package managers use the same sources so only one can run at a time, close any others and try again
[08:43] <joot> jusama15; did you sudo??
[08:43] <iarwain1> joot: he did. Learn to read the output
[08:43] <jusama15> joot, no I was root

[08:55] <WIGGMPk> I have a second hard drive and plan to just use it for Virtual Machines.. should I just make it Extended ??
[08:55] <Defrysk> hotmonkeyluv, http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/About/MadWifi#Hardware
[08:55] <hmw> what is a nice wave editor? (i am used to CoolEdit)
[08:55] <linuxguymarshall> iarwain1:There is only one problem....im out of blank cds...dun dun dun
[08:55] <hotmonkeyluv> Defrysk:  thanks, i'll check that out
[08:55] <iarwain1> WIGGMPk: you don't make a hard drive extended. You make partitions extended. And no, it doesn't really matter (just remember, only 4 primary partitions allowed per hard drive)
[08:56] <iarwain1> linuxguymarshall: oh my =/
[08:56] <WIGGMPk> iarwain1: its not going to boot.. just used as a slave for vm's..
[08:57] <linuxguymarshall> iarwain:Yeah, it sucks. I have a huge spindle of DVDs but my burner is on the fritz
[08:57] <iarwain1> linuxguymarshall: that's gotta hurt :D
[08:57] <toupeiro> Is anyone familiar with what bootloader the ubuntu usb keychain creator tool uses?
[08:57] <WIGGMPk> iarwain1: and you can create a new partition as Primary or Extended.. which is preferred in my situation??
[08:57] <iarwain1> WIGGMPk: doesn't matter, you can't make a harddrive extended. Partitions, yes
[08:57] <toupeiro> i updated mine and am trying to tell it to load a newer kernel, but its not using GRUB
[08:57] <iarwain1> WIGGMPk: doesn't matter :D
[08:58] <WIGGMPk> iarwain1: im not trying to make the 'harddrive' extended
[08:58] <os1ris25> I have a quick question. I just downloaded 8.10 and installed it under windows ( one of the install options ) . After install a problem came up. I have a laptop and as soon as i unplug it from the power source the os shows critical battery power and then shuts down. This just came up. It was working and then this just came up ( i don't  know if this was from an update ) any ideas why this would happen?
[08:58] <WIGGMPk> iarwain1: im asking what type of partition should I FORMAT this harddrive with.. if its a slave, being used for just virtual machines and not an OS...
[08:58] <iarwain1> WIGGMPk: oh, ext3 is fine for almost everything
[08:58] <linuxguymarshall> iarwain1:I have a "blank" cd. it mayyy work
[08:58] <iarwain1> linuxguymarshall: whoo!
[08:59] <WIGGMPk> iarwain1: what TYPE OF PARTITION.. if you said "Primary" i would use the ext3 filesystem.. but your not answering what im asking
[08:59] <os1ris25> anyone have any dieas?
[08:59] <biko> hello
[08:59] <iarwain1> WIGGMPk: because you can't ask decent questions?
[08:59] <linuxguymarshall> iarwain1:I tried to burn it on WinBlows earlier and it burned and when it said it was closing disc it ejected it and said the burn failed. Now every computer says it is blank but idk if it iis
[08:59] <joot> linuxgumarshall; I am cancelling the one I was sending :-))
[09:00] <iarwain1> linuxguymarshall: is it rewriteable?
[09:00] <WIGGMPk> iarwain1: *sigh* in an effort to stir this into something useful.. can you explain the differences between Primary vs Extended partitions as it pretains to my situation???
[09:00] <biko> exit
[09:00] <linuxguymarshall> iarwain1:no
[09:00] <linuxguymarshall> WIGGMPk:Google it
[09:00] <WIGGMPk> awesome
[09:00] <WIGGMPk> why didnt I think of that... a search engine
[09:01] <iarwain1> WIGGMPk: if you're using it for just data, it doesn't matter if you use primary or extended partitions. there is no "real" difference except that you can only have up to 4 primary partitions, and unlimited (as long as you have the space) extended partitions
[09:01] <WIGGMPk> didnt even know you could get that info from google.. gee..

[09:24] <Tyger> Installer encountered an error copying files to the hard drive.  Errno5:  input/output error: '/rofs/use/share/gnome/help/user-guide/pt' -- what does that mean and why did it fail to continue to install?
[09:25] <sybux> hi all, I'd like to enable color term but I can't find where to put the LS_COLOR
[09:25] <Tyger> 5GB disk size, 1024 MB base memory, 8 MB video memory
[09:25] <Tyger> has anyone encountered this install error?
[09:26] <zer0> ubuntu 8.10 uses a lot of memory.how to fix?
[09:26] <bazhang> Tyger, if the iso is fine then sounds like a vbox/Mac issue
[09:26] <Guest82402> ubuntu 8.10 uses a lot of memory.how to fix?
[09:26] <Tyger> I know, that's what I am trying to diagnose and see what is causing the error
[09:26] <bazhang> zerwas, how much memory do you have and what does top show using the most memory
[09:26] <Slart> Guest82402: don't run a lot of programs.. turn off unneeded services etc
[09:26] <bazhang> md5 the iso Tyger
[09:27] <Tyger> I did that already bazhang.  The checksum is valid.
[09:27] <Slart> Guest82402: also you might want to be sure that it's really using a lot of memory..
[09:27] <Guest82402> i just run 1 application(add and remove programs)
[09:27] <bazhang> not zerwas that was meant for Guest82402
[09:27] <bazhang> Tyger, then do the disk integrity check after reburning the iso at very low speed
[09:27] <hmw> how can i install the nice logout-icon, that comes with 8.10 in 8.04? i mean that one, that gives you a small drop down menu with the options logout, restart, ... - i dont want the big popup thing.
[09:27] <Pupeno> Hello.
[09:28] <Guest82402> i cant see my swap partition usage
[09:28] <bazhang> Tyger, if those all check out then it is a Mac or vbox issue
[09:28] <Guest82402> is my swap  is working?
[09:28] <Tyger> Ok bazhang. Thank you.
[09:28] <Slart> Guest82402: open the system monitor, check the process list and tell me you still think you only run one program
[09:28] <bazhang> Tyger, they have channels here on freenode as well you know
[09:29] <terryx> anybody knows something about ubuntu
[09:29] <Tyger> bazhang, for what? I've already been to the #vbox channel
[09:29] <hmw> Guest82402: try "swapon -s"
[09:29] <terryx> ohh...what a stupid question
[09:29] <bazhang> Guest82402, you likely will not use swap very much; how much ram do you have
[09:29] <Guest82402> 2gb memory
[09:29] <bazhang> Guest82402, are you using wubi?
[09:30] <Guest82402> no
[09:30] <terryx> i need help in ubuntu
[09:30] <Guest82402> i386 dvd
[09:30] <bazhang> terryx, then ask

[09:30] <terryx> right now i am using virtual station
[09:30] <applegainer> who to install ubuntu by wubi
[09:30] <applegainer> ?
[09:31] <bazhang> Guest82402, did you set up a swap partition? if so, then not much to worry about
[09:31] <zer0> wubi is easy but better live install
[09:31] <shingie> i agree with zer0
[09:31] <bazhang> terryx, please keep in channel
[09:31] <rdw200169> Guest82402, if you're really interested in reducing your ram usage, you should google some of the solutions presented about running ubuntu on low ram computer
[09:31] <terryx> ok
[09:31] <applegainer> live install is better than wubi???why?
[09:31] <applegainer> ?
[09:32] <bazhang> applegainer, wubi is a test drive
[09:32] <Guest89228> ty for giving adea for me..googling now

[09:32] <bazhang> Guest89228, try fluxbox or lxde for window managers
[09:32] <Guest89228> i prefer cd
[09:32] <Slart> !install
[09:33] <applegainer> can I install it from hard disk
[09:33] <bazhang> applegainer, to hard disk yes
[09:33] <terryx> when i insert live cd its shows option on boot offcourse
[09:33] <rdw200169> Guest89228, or xubuntu

[09:33] <applegainer> bazhang, Thank you

[09:35] <terryx> no
[09:35] <arun_> suggest video editors,video convertors for ubuntu?
[09:35] <Guest89228> who know about ubuntu a lot,please private chat me
[09:35] <rdw200169> terryx, it's about the most cut-down linux distro with a window manager
[09:35] <bazhang> Guest89228, ask here
[09:35] <terryx> i mean i have 2 computers, i can install it on amd, 128 mb ram
[09:35] <DIFH-iceroot> Guest89228: just ask your question HERE to ALL
[09:35] <rdw200169> terryx, runs on 60MB of ram
[09:35] <Guest89228> hard to see
[09:36] <bazhang> Guest89228, you may wish to post to the ubuntuforums then
[09:36] <terryx> u understand me
[09:36] <terryx> ?
[09:36] <rdw200169> terryx, ubuntu will run like garbage on less than 256

[09:36] <bazhang> terryx, then try the alternate cd
[09:36] <rdw200169> terryx, i'm talking about the one you said had 128m ram
[09:37] <bazhang> rdw200169, please recommend ubuntu solutions in this channel
[09:37] <kandjar> hey there
[09:37] <terryx> man u r not listening to me
[09:37] <rdw200169> bazhang, look, ubuntu will not run on 128, and suggesting that he tries is pointless
[09:37] <terryx> i told u i have 2 computers
[09:37] <Guest89228> i cant play music with my pc speaker.how to fix?
[09:37] <ardchoille> terryx: you might want to run a light window manager on the 128m ram box, something like openbox or fluxbox
[09:37] <rdw200169> bazhang, i've tried, it can't be done without a monumental effort
[09:37] <bazhang> rdw200169, fluxbuntu will

[09:40] <Guest89228> i got slow internet speed on ubuntu 8.10.
[09:40] <WIGGMPk> Defrysk: but, Compiz Fusion trys to start when I log in, then Fusion Icon starts and i guess restarts compiz.. and then awn gets hung up cause im not running a composite window manager.. so how do I stop compiz from starting and let fusion-icon control everything???
[09:40] <terryx> bazhang................
[09:41] <Guest89228> download file with 12kb only..it really bad...
[09:41] <scientes> kernel configuration (config.gz?
[09:41] <bazhang> terryx, disable splash in boot parameters and tell us the exact error messages you get
[09:41] <terryx> what is splash
[09:41] <terryx> tell me step by step
[09:41] <Tom_1223> My IDE (root) and raid-1 SATA hdds are really damn slow. I've enabled 32bit i/o and multicount on the IDE, and 32bit i/o on the SATA, and they're running at udma5/6 respectively, but still only transferring from one to the other at 9mb/s... There are plenty of people complaining about this on forums, but no solution that I can tell.
[09:43] <terryx> i can only tell u in private otherwise u don;t understand
[09:43] <terryx> bazhang
[09:43] <prakash_> hi
[09:43] <terryx> hey prakash u indian
[09:43] <terryx> ?
[09:43] <Guest89228> im malaysia......no war..
[09:43] <simplexio> Tom_1223: you have bonnie++, if so throw test results into pastebin
[09:43] <prakash_> Can some one say which is the best firewall ??????????????????????
[09:44] <prakash_> IN LINUx ??????????????
[09:44] <ForceDestroyer> pulling the plug lol
[09:44] <aleX-xx> windows firewall ? :D
[09:44] <hmw> !poll > prakash_
[09:44] <bazhang> terryx, first it is hard to believe that you can install ubuntu on a system with only 128 mb of ram let alone run it; second you need to get into your grub menu.lst for the kernel you are booting on the second computer and remove the splash and quiet lines then tell us exactly the errors you are receiving
[09:44] <Tom_1223> simplexio: downloading bonnie++ now, will reply in a minute
[09:44] <simplexio> prakash_: iptables is only firewall for linux, it has several GUIs or helper scripts
[09:44] <Guest89228> windows defender :D
[09:44] <kandjar> need help to fix a bluetooth issue!
[09:44] <Guest89228> kandjar..what???
[09:45] <hmw> prakash_ there is a firewall already built in, ipfilter. you can control it with the command iptables. find a good tutorial on the web, because firewalling is quite challenging.
[09:45] <bazhang> hmw, it is iptables
[09:45] <prakash_> hi simplexio, can you say some GUIs for iptables ....???
[09:45] <bazhang> firestarter prakash_
[09:45] <Slart> !fireall
[09:45] <simplexio> prakash_: no. i dont use
[09:45] <Slart> !firewall
[09:45] <hmw> bazhang prakash_ the kernel module isnt ipfilter, its "netfilter"
[09:46] <prakash_> Yeah i know that....some other firewall GUIs Please
[09:46] <hmw> prakash_ there i dont know any GUI for iptables and i think, it wont help you very much, if you cant use it manually
[09:47] <rdw200169> bazhang, so, you agree it shouldn't be installed on 128mb of ram...
[09:47] <prakash_> Thanks hmw.
[09:47] <hmw> prakash_ the default setting of the firewall is "open for everthing"
[09:47] <bazhang> rdw200169, more like I doubt it was possible in the first place; however openbox, fluxbox lxde with a minimal install are fine ubuntu solutions.
[09:47] <simplexio> prakash_: ypu dont need firewall on desktop linux
[09:48] <sawyer_> hey guys/gals i have problems with the proprietary broadcom b43 drivers on intrepid
[09:48] <Guest89228> is that bluetooth?
[09:48] <prakash_> But i get some ipscanners tracing my system security to hack. ???
[09:48] <tin> if you're running servers that don't need outside access, you should use a firewall anyway
[09:48] <sawyer_> i've enabled them, and the light for the wireless is on (which means it's installed, right?) but i can't recognize any networks around
[09:48] <tin> ie: cifs shares on the LAN
[09:49] <tin> or maybe vnc or x servers on the LAN
[09:49] <bl4hblah> Somehow i broke my xserver ; when i startx its just a black screen... i think i changed the display settings to something out of my monitor's range? how can i fix it?
[09:50] <duanedesign> turn on firewall in the Terminal type# ufw enable
[09:50] <tin> bl4hblah: you can use ctrl+alt+minus and +plus to cycle through settings
[09:50] <dekkong> hi guys! my ubuntu has been getting slower for a couple of weeks now ? are there any way to make it "faster" ?
[09:50] <rdw200169> bazhang, all i'm saying is that i've been to heck and back with fluxbox, lxde, openbox, and so on with ubuntu, i've cut out services, etc, etc... and i couldn't keep the ram load below the 128m breaking point with a browser + music player before going into swap
[09:50] <tin> the plus and minus on the numpad
[09:50] <neXyon> greetings
[09:51] <prakash_> I can't install konqueror in ubuntu. i used apt-get install konqueror in terminal. I cant install the web browser.
[09:51] <neXyon> I've a problem: networkmanager is able to use my usb modem on one but not on another laptop :-/
[09:51] <bl4hblah> tin .. so when its just a black screen start hitting cntrl alt plus or minus untill i can see something?
[09:52] <Guest89228> how to speed up internet on ubuntu 8.10?
[09:52] <rdw200169> bazhang, and i've decided, on the grounds that ubuntu was not meant to be a hacker os, that it can't be done, or at least exptected to run reliably; furthermore, fluxbuntu is for the most part a dead project
[09:53] <melodie_> hello all
[09:53] <dekkong> hi this might be a stupid question but does a "window" take less ram when it's minimized?
[09:53] <melodie_> I'd like some help, I'm looking for a grub command line, to reinstall grub on the system partition
[09:53] <prakash_> How to install google chrome in Ubuntu ?
[09:54] <blip-> hi all, i have 2 ubuntu machines... one an 8.04 and one a 7.04.... for some reason the latest darcs versions in the repos is 1.0.9 and 1.0.9rc1 respectively.... is that true or am i just confused ?  I saw this page here they say the intrepid has version 2  of darcs   http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/darcs
[09:54] <melodie_> only questions here ? :D
[09:54] <melodie_> no answers then ?
[09:55] <rothchild> morning, I just noticed that compiz won't run any more for me and I'm not sure what I've changed, I'm on an intel810
[09:55] <sliverchair1> after my screensaver, only my wallpaper is left, what could be wrong?
[09:55] <Slart> blip-: is that so strange? 7.04 uses the 1.0.9 release candidate.. and 8.04 uses the finished 1.0.9?.. or?
[09:55] <simplexio> bazhang: about that  "second you need to get into your grub menu.lst for the kernel you are booting on the second computer"... just press e when you select kernel in grub menu and then edit boot options there
[09:55] <sliverchair1> using 8.10
[09:55] <drh> grrrrrrrrr
[09:55] <rdw200169> !grub > melodie_

[09:56] <rothchild> this is the result of compiz --replace http://pastebin.com/d7d28ab4b
[09:56] <drh> dude cntrl alt - + doesnt work to fix my black screen problem
[09:56] <melodie_> rdw200169, your bot is not qualified to answer. thks
[09:56] <blip-> Slart: so how do i get darcs2 installed on both these systems... shall i download the interepid deb package ?
[09:56] <melodie_>  I'm not a newbie, I know Grub and I don't use Windows.
[09:56] <bazhang> melodie_, did you read the grub links?
[09:57] <Slart> blip-: the two version don't talk to each other?
[09:57] <melodie_>  I need to install grub on Ubuntu partition because I don't want it to manage my other distros
[09:57] <jusama15> How can I find the main directory of an installed program?
[09:57] <F3d0rA> Is there a DVD  version of 8.10 with both gnome and kde?
[09:57] <jusama15> I just installed a .deb file.
[09:57] <F3d0rA> torrent possibly?
[09:57] <Slart> F3d0rA: I don't think so
[09:57] <F3d0rA> serious?  Onlu CD?
[09:57] <blip-> Slart: not over ssh.. something related to using ssh keys vs passwords... it's fixed in version 2 so i need it
[09:57] <melodie_> bazhang, I'm being reading all the grub docs on the web, but I receive errors
[09:57] <melodie_> such as
[09:57] <melodie_> stage1 not found on this partition
[09:58] <melodie_> or even 'this volume does not exist"
[09:58] <melodie_> so
[09:58] <rdw200169> melodie_, are you pretty good at using the ubuntu alternate cd?
[09:58] <melodie_> if someone knows about reinstall on
[09:58] <drh> what is vesa mode?
[09:58] <Slart> blip-: hmm.. if you're lucky darcs2 doesn't have a lot of weird dependencies.. then you can just get the intrepid package and install that on the older machine
[09:58] <melodie_> rdw200169, I just tried the alternate recuparation
[09:58] <F3d0rA> So there is only CD versions ?
[09:58] <rothchild> prakash_: http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/2008/09/install-google-chrome-on-linux-using-wine.html
[09:58] <melodie_> it ends with error without explanation
[09:58] <melodie_> :(
[09:58] <oOarthurOo> melodie_:  Try typing all your thoughts on one line please. Not thought, enter, thought, enter.
[09:58] <Slart> blip-: if you're unlucky I guess you'd have to do it the other way around.. and use the older version on both computers
[09:58] <rdw200169> melodie_, ok, do this, go through the alternate disk, get it to detect the cd rom and the internet, then go to a shell
[09:59] <melodie_> oOarthurOo, not easy
[09:59] <F3d0rA> Can you purchase a DVD versions or is DVD just not avaialbe?
[09:59] <jusama15> How can I find the main directory of an installed program?
[09:59] <bazhang> F3d0rA, yes there are torrents and dvd versions
[09:59] <blip-> Slart: wait i though intrepid was old... or is it 8.10 :D
[09:59] <bazhang> !torrents
[09:59] <hmw> drh: old video cards used this mode of operations. there is a vesa driver, it will be used, if your Xorg doesnt want to use the driver, you selected, because of an error probably. vesa mode thus means, your graphics adapter runs not at optimal performance.
[09:59] <melodie_> rdw200169, yes and then ? what with the shell ?
[09:59] <oOarthurOo> melodie_: I know, but it makes it easier for people trying to help.
[09:59] <F3d0rA> and the dvd versions have both KDE and gnome?
[09:59] <rdw200169> melodie_, then, from the shell, mount the partition with your ubuntu in it, and chroot into it
[09:59] <Slart> blip-: intrepid is the latest, greatest
[09:59] <jusama15> nvm got it, it's dpkg -L package
[09:59] <rdw200169> melodie_, then you can apt-get install grub, if you don't have it
[09:59] <Slart> blip-: ie 8.10
[09:59] <oOarthurOo> hmw:  Did you get your stuff straightened out?
[09:59] <simplexio> melodie_: does dpkg-reconfigure grub help ?
[09:59] <bazhang> F3d0rA, /msg ubottu torrents
[09:59] <F3d0rA> thanks
[10:00] <drh> I have a really nice video card .. but somehow i changed the settings in xwindows and now its just a black screen i have no idea how to repair it
[10:00] <rsp> STEAM confirmed for Linux!!! http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=steam_confirmation&num=1
[10:00] <melodie_> simplexio, I didn't try that yet
[10:00] <melodie_> rdw200169, its supposed to be installed, as all the files are there in /boot/grub, and in /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc
[10:00] <rdw200169> melodie_, can you boot into ubuntu right now? i'm assuming the whole thing is trashed
[10:01] <incorrect> the default kernel was not built with modules i need for my tosh laptop
[10:01] <Slart> rsp: I heard someone discuss that in #ubuntu-offtopic.. go tell them
[10:01] <hmw> oOarthurOo no, i gave up. i think my radeon9600 is somehow corrupted, maybe its having some cmos with settings. the open source driver does VERY strange things since yesterday, but i went back to fglrx (single head) and - woohoo - i can watch videos and dvds even with compiz turned on. its a big mess.
[10:01] <melodie_> rdw200169, I could boot into it until I reinstall the grub of my other distro on the mbr
[10:01] <incorrect> what is the best way to build a missing module?
[10:01] <melodie_> then I tried to put menu.lst entry
[10:01] <rdw200169> melodie_, well, you can, from that alternate cd installer, do a grub-install from the chroot
[10:01] <blip-> Slart: i found this. does it help  http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/darcs
[10:01] <melodie_> but after reboot it could not find the kernel (error 15)
[10:01] <rothchild> can anyone tell me why compiz isn't working now? http://pastebin.com/d7d28ab4b
[10:01] <F3d0rA> it returned sorry no torrents
[10:02] <oOarthurOo> hmw videos with compiz was a distaster on my system. My fan went mad trying to keep up with my cpu. I Just don't think compiz is ready for primetime yet.
[10:02] <rdw200169> melodie_, this sounds like your drive map is all screwed up, in /boot/grub in your uubntu partiton, or whatever partition is hosting /boot
[10:02] <melodie_> rdw200169, I need to find the correct syntax to have it at /dev/sda9 though, that's what I'm looking for
[10:02] <hmw> oOarthurOo though it should be on my hardware setup.
[10:02] <Slart> blip-: give it a try.. gdebi will complain if the dependencies aren't met.. try the older machine first
[10:02] <melodie_> rdw200169, yes, maybe the System.map
[10:02] <rdw200169> melodie_, the best way to solve your grub problem, is having a separate /boot partition, and mounting that same partition in all your distros
[10:03] <F3d0rA> wait its sais the only benefit to DVD is the extra language packs and thats it?
[10:03] <melodie_> but now it's such a big junk in a system map
[10:03] <melodie_> rdw200169, false
[10:03] <rdw200169> melodie_, yeah, the file that lists for grub where all the drives are
[10:03] <hmw> oOarthurOo and actually, now it is. i worked on my xorg setup for about 40 hrs in sum, and i couldnt find a pattern. using the backup copy of xorg.conf does NOT undo certain things, you did, for some strange - no STRANGE reasons.
[10:03] <melodie_> the kernels won't be the same
[10:03] <UnknownUser56> downloading it
[10:03] <rdw200169> melodie_, obviously, but grub needs to find all the kernels, and it usually looks in /boot
[10:04] <VistaUser> how come terminal cant open lock file?
[10:04] <melodie_> rdw200169, do you happen to know the syntax I'm looking for ? grub-install /dev/sda9 or grub-install root-device=/dev/sda9 or whatsoever ?
[10:04] <oOarthurOo> hmw: 2d is very well supported under linux . :)
[10:04] <rdw200169> melodie_, if all the distros your using are playing correctly, the different distros' kernels should not present a problem, naming convetion-wise
[10:04] <oOarthurOo> hmw I recommend gamers keep a windows partition :P
[10:05] <hmw> melodie_ you have to run grub from the shell and type in 2 or 3 commands to put grub onto the MBR of your hard drive. i didnt follow your conversation with rdw200169, do you want me to look for those commands? do you even want to install the MBR boot loader or something else?
[10:05] <melodie_> rdw200169, I'm not planning on creating a boot partition, I'm looking for the right cl
[10:05] <melodie_> not more not less. :)
[10:05] <F3d0rA> Does 8.10 support Broadcom Wireless? Particularly the BCM4328?
[10:06] <F3d0rA> without using ndsiwrapper?
[10:06] <hmw> oOarthurOo i am not a gamer for my luck. i want a workstation for webdesign with a virtual box. and ok - i installed a game, that doesnt run in XP anymore. now it all just works fine. nearly.
[10:06] <warren> hi
[10:06] <rdw200169> hmw, i agree with hmw, but i can't remember the commands either
[10:06] <oOarthurOo> And linux fanboys who want their desktop to spin like a stripper, I tell them not to expect good performance on movies, or anything functional. Though, admittedly, I'm in the minority there.
[10:06] <VistaUser> what ISO bunner i need on ubuntu
[10:06] <melodie_> hmw, thanks, I allready have a grub in mbr and I like it that way. I want to reinstall grub on the root partition of the system, and use a chainloader from the main grub menu.lst : nothing else
[10:06] <warren> i tried to make a lan over internet network with hamachi, but it creates a network interface named ham0, but lan parties are only on eth0
[10:06] <warren> what can i do?
[10:06] <hmw> melodie_ would it help, if i gave you my menu.lst?
[10:07] <oOarthurOo> hmw: So disable 3d support with your video card and watch your performance go throug the roof.
[10:07] <Slart> !burniso
[10:07] <arun_> any video convertors,editors for linux
[10:07] <rdw200169> F3d0rA, it does, with fwcutter
[10:07] <melodie_> hmw, no it won't thanks
[10:07] <VistaUser> ty
[10:07] <Slart> arun_: mencoder is one converter.. editors are a bit more rare
[10:07] <F3d0rA> I kmow you can buy  dell Laptop from Dell with Ubuntu on it so I have to assume if you get a Dell Wireless 1505 card which is the BCM4328 Ubuntu supports it right?
[10:07] <rdw200169> F3d0rA, the broadcom drivers are pretty notorious in linux
[10:07] <arun_> video convertors for linux??
[10:07] <hmw> oOarthurOo right now, i am happy with the setup. its just not possible to reactivate dual or triple head, not even in 2D. somethings very odd here. i really gave up. well: now i have a fast 3D setup and its ok, too.
[10:08] <bazhang> arun_, ffmpeg
[10:08] <rdw200169> F3d0rA, it's hit or miss as to whether a particular chipset will work *out of the box* on ubuntu
[10:08] <melodie_> I've got nine distros, and some can be booted with initrd /inird.img and this some seems not able to do so
[10:08] <melodie_> ok, thanks anyhow to all, I'll manage otherwise
[10:08] <hmw> melodie_ chain loader? *puzzled* is it meant for windows?
[10:08] <melodie_> hmw, no you can chainload anything
[10:08] <rothchild> hi does anyone know why compiz has just stopped working for me? The error is here: http://pastebin.com/d7d28ab4b
[10:08] <Tom_1223> simplexio:  I ran bonnie++, where does it output the results to? The results it's returned in the CLI are confusing and sparse considering the time it took to compute.
[10:09] <rdw200169> F3d0rA, but, my memory serves me well on this one, there is the bcm43xx-fwcutter package which can extract firmware drivers from the windows drivers, it's a pain b/c they can't provided the proprietary drivers, you have to *find* them
[10:09] <hmw> melodie_ *looking up chainloading with grub* what is your exact problem?
[10:09] <oOarthurOo> hmw: That's good. Well, at least you sound mostly happy.  I don't ask because I've got experience getting it to work.. just curioistity.
[10:09] <F3d0rA> rdw200169: but don't work in fedora 10.  Only way it worked is using ndiswrapper.  I know fwcutter v0.11 now now avaialble to install the broadcom wireless chipsets but even the latest firmware does not hlp my card
[10:09] <arun_> thanks i'll try out them,perhaps i need something like avidemux
[10:09] <melodie_> hmw, in private if you like ?
[10:09] <F3d0rA> serious?
[10:09] <melodie_> as I allready explained. :)
[10:09] <hmw> melodie_ gotta login with another client. i will page you as hmw_pidgin
[10:09] <rdw200169> F3d0rA, well, then you know more than me
[10:10] <melodie_> ok
[10:10] <F3d0rA> rdw200169:  An that woudl work on any flavor of linux or the three main ones?
[10:10] <rdw200169> F3d0rA, you mean like kubuntu, xubuntu ubuntu, etc...?
[10:10] <drh> Dude is there away to configure my x server from console?
[10:11] <drh> or to delete the old x server config file and startx anyway? for some reason my x session is all black
[10:11] <oOarthurOo> melodie_: Why not keep it in the public channel in case others can help to? Asking to pm means putting all your eggs in one basket. Not that I have any reason to doubt hwm's ability to help you, just a general principle.
[10:11] <F3d0rA> ya as well as mandriva fedora dsl hat e to ask that but they all tend to run the same kernel and desktop
[10:11] <Kajover> hey.. is there a way to copy the audio files from the ipod to the harddisk (ubuntu)
[10:11] <arun_> can x64 applications run on i386 ubuntu
[10:12] <melodie_> oOarthurOo, I explained all allready and hmw asked the start question to which I allready gave all informations. thks for the concern. :)
[10:12] <WIGGMPk> Now, can anyone tell me how to disable the gnome-panel in Intrepid Ibex???
[10:12] <rdw200169> F3d0rA, well, i don't know about mandriva fedora and those, but i do know that the ubuntu based distros *that use ubuntu repositories* will all use the same fwcutter for example
[10:12] <deathshadow> arun_: I run well
[10:13] <arun_> u mean just install it'll work deathshadow??
[10:13] <Kajover> any ideas??
[10:13] <F3d0rA> ok will def . Look into it.  Maybe it works on the same principle as ndiswrapper which uses the inf and sys window driver
[10:13] <arun_> can i have private chat with u deathshadow??
[10:13] <rdw200169> F3d0rA, yeah, it works pretty well, but only is supposed to work on the 43xx series of broadcom chips
[10:14] <kevin__> hello
[10:14] <F3d0rA> great thanks again!!
[10:14] <Kajover> ah yes and btw how can i disable this popup requesting my password after logging in and connecting to my wpa2 network??
[10:14] <oOarthurOo> melodie_: hmm... well. I haven't seen you post the output of an "fdisk -l" or "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[10:14] <VistaUser> anything good features like compiz-fusion?
[10:14] <Mal3ko> guys how to disable login ssh using root acc?
[10:14] <VistaUser> packages*?
[10:15] <simplexio> Tom_1223: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78011/
[10:15] <oOarthurOo> melodie_: That would be the first step in fixing grub boot errors... I would think.
[10:15] <simplexio> Tom_1223: that from myt system
[10:15] <melodie_> oOarthurOo, I allready said everything
[10:15] <Tom_1223> simplexio:  http://pastebin.com/m521e8884
[10:15] <melodie_> thanks
[10:15] <rdw200169> Mal3ko, check /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[10:16] <rdw200169> Mal3ko, there's an option in there for "allow root access" or something like that, that you just comment out
[10:16] <Mal3ko> ok
[10:16] <rdw200169> Mal3ko, check "man sshd_config" for more options
[10:16] <simplexio> Tom_1223: what harddrive is that
[10:16] <terryx> hey
[10:16] <VistaUser>  any packages like compiz-fusion
[10:16] <Tom_1223> simplexio: I have no idea, I didn't specify.
[10:17] <Tom_1223> simplexio:  I'd assume the O/S hdd, /dev/hda
[10:17] <simplexio> Tom_1223: it run it on same hd where which is mounted into same directory where you executed it
[10:18] <rdw200169> VistaUser, what are you talking about, are you asking if compiz is part of ubuntu?
[10:18] <Kajover> hello? could someone help me.. finally.. please. How can i dissable the popup asking me for my password at logging in to my wpa2 encrypted network?
[10:18] <Tom_1223> simplexio: In that case, it's the /dev/hda
[10:18] <VistaUser> no i mean is there any packages like what compiz-fusion does
[10:18] <rdw200169> VistaUser, well, ubuntu installs compiz-fusion by default
[10:19] <VistaUser> is there any other packages like it?
[10:19] <rdw200169> VistaUser, you mean alternatives to compiz?
[10:19] <VistaUser> yes
[10:20] <Kajover> what do i need to do to get any attention here?!
[10:20] <rdw200169> VistaUser, not really, there was beryl, but they've merged into one big project (if i remember correctly)
[10:20] <rdw200169> VistaUser, i think that's where the fusion part came from
[10:20] <VistaUser> oo kk
[10:20] <simplexio> Tom_1223: i add my test results into your paste soon.. i run bonnie++ on few my other hds
[10:20] <nvi> hi. what is the command to check what graphic drivers are being used atm?
[10:20] <arun_> problem with gstreamer

[10:56] <Sharp_eyes_> any body knows that how to install nokia pcsuite in ubuntu
[10:56] <Sharp_eyes_> ?
[10:56] <kelli> Flannel: flickr how do i get that?
[10:56] <jbbarnes> Has xorg.conf been replaced in 8.10? It is much shorter than in 7.10 and has no entries for my mouse & keyboard.
[10:56] <aftertaf> 2) dpkg -i --force-overwrite
[10:56] <Maveas> Sharp_eyes_: with wine etc.= :)
[10:56] <Flannel> kelli: its a website, flickr.com I believe
[10:56] <T-Hawk> hey... got a bit of a problem here. i've removed the old kernel version from my ubuntu-server, but for some reason linux-ubuntu-modules didn't purge. Now when i try to purge linux-ubuntu-modules it comlains that initrd.img doesn't exists (which isn't that odd) is there any way to remove linux-ubuntu-modules?
[10:56] <Sharp_eyes_> how can ?
[10:56] <Sharp_eyes_> i hve 2 operating systems in my pc
[10:56] <weekend12> 这有会说中文的吗？
[10:56] <Sharp_eyes_> xp and ubuntu
[10:57] <aftertaf> jbbarnes: mjohn :  do u have dkms for your gfx cards?
[10:57] <jbbarnes> I can't modify my touchpad without loading the synaptics driver.
[10:57] <Sharp_eyes_> in xp i hve install it

[10:57] <CorpseFeeder> is Brasero broken or something? Is it impossible to burn a DVD video using Brasero?
[10:57] <jbbarnes> I am running Xubunto (xfce) and the nvidia driver.
[10:57] <kelli> Flannel, thanks
[10:58] <jbbarnes> I need to modify my touchpad settings, but can't unless I have loaded the synpatics driver with a specific setting enabled.
[10:58] <Niteye> in adept i cant install "xine extra plugins" it is grayed out, how come?
[10:58] <soulc> so all I want is a screen shot uploaded to my server once every 10 mins
[10:59] <aftertaf> jbbarnes: do u have dkms installed? or did you install nvidia drivers via envy / binaries?
[10:59] <simplexio> jbbarnes: i think new ubuntu tries to automaticly find your hw, you could try get touchpad working using old way and add needed lines to xorg.conf by hand, no idea is there some gui for it
[10:59] <jamil_13579> Any help
[10:59] <edmont> my laptop hangs at statup with the message "setting the system clock". Then i press Ctrl+Alt+Del and it performs some operations and gives a gdm error. I am only able to start gdm at this point by mounting / and /home as rw. I think this happens since i modified /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh, but i am pretty sure i restored it to original and the problem still occurs. Any  idea?

[10:59] <adac> Is there a program that can randomly overwrite the hard disk (only the free space) so that data cannot be reconstructed?
[11:00] <soulc> but it seems that cron isn't executing the pearl script inside the shell script
[11:00] <aftertaf> jamil_13579: yeah... command line: sudo dpkg -i [/path/to/package.deb] --force-overwrite
[11:00] <buuuble> hmm this seems not updated... anyone knows what to do in latest ubuntu?` https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/b43
[11:00] <Inman> adac you can use secure-delete
[11:00] <jbbarnes> aftertaf: not sure what dkms is. I used the xubuntu "Hardware Drivers" app to load the nVidia binary driver.
[11:01] <prakash_> Can i develop ASP.NET application in Ubuntu ???
[11:01] <aftertaf> ok. type dpkg -l | grep dk
[11:01] <jbbarnes> I usually find the mouse/synaptic line in my xorg.conf for every distro I load. Then I paste in my usual settings. This time there is no such entry

[11:01] <aftertaf> !xorg
[11:02] <adac> Inman, isn't that a windows program?

[11:02] <jbbarnes> aftertaf: Ah, I thought it was different. How can I force it to use the synaptic driver?
[11:02] <Tsabi> #hungary
[11:02] <aftertaf> jbbarnes: dunno :)

[11:03] <firestorm1> Hi there. Does ubuntu allow a VGA-output port on a laptop to be automatically enabled when in X11? I am finding that I need to reboot for it to be picked up.  The resolution wont fit my external screen. :S
[11:10] <Inman> baas under mixer (i'm using gnome) you can select different devices  you have right one?
[11:11] <firestorm1> comradekingu: was that no, as in you expect that it wouldn't work in fluxbox but would work with gnome?

[11:12] <Inman> hey no free loader here (LOL) ;)
[11:13] <comradekingu> firestorm1: I dont think that has anything to do with it. Check out https://wiki.kubuntu.org/LaptopTestingTeam
[11:14] <dmalcik> linux
[11:14] <kieko> is it tar xjv tar.gz?
[11:14] <kieko> to unzip is it tar xjv <file>tar.gz ?
[11:15] <Inman> gbear is that not an exec file ?
[11:15] <ikonia> kieko: man tar
[11:15] <ikonia> kieko: j is for bz2
[11:15] <Tom_1223> simplexio: http://pastebin.com/m262d969a
[11:15] <kieko> ikonia, not just tar.gz
[11:15] <reid> does madwifi not support WPA2?
[11:15] <ikonia> kieko: no
[11:15] <reid> anyone?
[11:16] <ikonia> reid: saying anyone is pointless
[11:16] <kieko> ikonia, so, no 'j' just tar xv file.tar.gz ?
[11:16] <ikonia> kieko: no
[11:17] <firestorm1> comradekingu: thanks for the link. pity it doesn't have intrepid on it though :)
[11:17] <kieko> tar xvh file.tar.gz ?
[11:17] <ikonia> kieko: no
[11:17] <Inman> not that much has changed
[11:17] <comradekingu> firestorm1: Thats where you help out :)
[11:17] <prakash_> Can anyone say how to install Mono Development ???
[11:17] <kieko> ikonia, i forgot you don't like to give solutions or answers... Always, complicated with you
[11:17] <firestorm1> comradekingu: true
[11:17] <ikonia> kieko: just look in the man page
[11:17] <ikonia> kieko: as I said, it's even listed as an example in the man page
[11:17] <Inman> kieko whats problem
[11:18] <ikonia> prakash_621: open synaptic, search for mono, highlight the packages/compilers you want and click install
[11:18] <simplexio> Tom_1223: that did improve performance
[11:18] <kieko> Inman, no problem
[11:18] <kieko> Inman, thx

[11:34] <scientes> !firewall
[11:35] <scientes> can firestarter do things like routers?
[11:35] <prakash_621> ubottu thanks for your information.
[11:35] <scientes> i want something like a router web ui
[11:35] <jimcooncat> scientes: also see ufw (uncomplicated firewall)
[11:35] <kemik25> hi , good day.
[11:36] <dns53> i would use ufw or gufw
[11:36] <scientes> but i want to do a router
[11:36] <scientes> ok
[11:36] <edmont> my laptop hangs at statup with the message "setting the system clock". Then i press Ctrl+Alt+Del and it performs some operations and gives a gdm error. I am only able to start gdm at this point by mounting / and /home as rw. I think this happens since i modified /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh, but i am pretty sure i restored it to original and the problem still occurs. Any  idea?
[11:36] <huwenfeng> HI, how can i add srt file to my video ? what media player can i use?
[11:36] <kemik25> I am new and want to learn VPN. can anyone help me on setting up vpn. I am using ubuntu box.
[11:36] <scientes> are these client server so i can use them on my CLI server?
[11:38] <johan_> What is the best emulation program if I wish to run games? Cedega?
[11:39] <huwenfeng> Cedega seems need to be charged!
[11:39] <orgthingy> W00T !! my webcam isnt working anymore
[11:39] <orgthingy> after kernel update!!
[11:39] <dns53> johan_ you should try wine first, crossover games (commercal wine) and cedega are options as well
[11:39] <orgthingy> cedega is best for games
[11:39] <orgthingy> then crossover then wine
[11:39] <johan_> Yeah, wine sucks with games.
[11:39] <NthDegree> orgthingy, I disagree
[11:40] <NthDegree> Cedega is worse for games
[11:40] <orgthingy> no
[11:40] <orgthingy> has less supported games, but MANY unsupported games work perfectly
[11:40] <sdlwof> why won't update manager mention anything about 8.10?
[11:40] <NthDegree> Yes.. I have loads of games which run perfectly on Wine but have bugs on Cedega
[11:41] <johan_> NthDegree: Which?
[11:41] <dns53> i would use wine as my first option, it works fine with half life based games
[11:41] <NthDegree> johan_, UT GOTY (needed for all the anti-cheat stuff to work)
[11:41] <NthDegree> AOE2
[11:41] <jagadeesh> how to extract meeting request using procmail and add it korganizer?
[11:41] <NthDegree> Half-Life (without Steam)
[11:42] <Maveas> dns53: how do you tweak etc. cs for optimal performance?
[11:42] <prakash_621> someone has established a connection from his computer to my computer. how to cut this connection. Plz say quickly. ?
[11:42] <dns53> Maveas it's good enough for me
[11:42] <huwenfeng> i have to say , the video card driver under ubuntu is not that good
[11:42] <NthDegree> prakash_621, kill the process facilitating the connection
[11:42] <NthDegree> prakash_621, netstat -anp as root then find the process and kill it
[11:43] <NthDegree> pkill -9 nameofprocess to kill it
[11:43] <prakash_621> k wait let me try
[11:43] <NthDegree> if it's SSH you will need to kill the shell process for that user too
[11:43] <smoo> #essen
[11:44] <smoo> join #essen
[11:44] <avudz> huh?
[11:44] <Maveas> smoo: why?
[11:44] <jagadeesh> how to extract meeting request using procmail and add it korganizer?
[11:44] <prakash_621> Oh my god THanks NthDegree Thanks Very much.
[11:45] <prakash_621> Thanks NthDegree
[11:45] <NthDegree> =]
[11:45] <NthDegree> no problem
[11:45] <prakash_621> I am new to ubuntu.
[11:45] <huwenfeng> me too
[11:45] <huwenfeng> we are all new to ubuntu
[11:45] <sdlwof> prakash_621, sudo ifconfig eth0 down
[11:45] <NthDegree> sdlwof, it's sorted
[11:45] <kane77> huwenfeng, not me :)
[11:45] <NthDegree> no need to take down the network
[11:45] <huwenfeng> ubuntu is good , its free , and almost do anything you want
[11:45] <sdlwof> haha, i see that, like 10 pages of scroll back....
[11:45] <sdlwof> my bad
[11:46] <Maveas> Is it posible to get an IP of an IRC user who have a vhost? Without being IRC op?I mean, is it 100% bulletproff when I got a vhost address?
[11:46] <juanez> if i replace pulseaudio with esound, which apps can i expect to break?
[11:46] <huwenfeng> kane77: yes, i mean we two
[11:46] <NthDegree> Maveas, with a cloak it's bulletproof against everyone but Freenode staff
[11:46] <Maveas> You sure?
[11:46] <Maveas> Even an extreme good hacker couldn't get it?
[11:46] <NthDegree> Maveas, yes
[11:46] <Starnestommy> Maveas: if the user connects but doesn't identify quickly enough they might join channels without their cloak and cloaks can be removed by network ops for misnehavior
[11:47] <Kolka> hi people, how can i share a conection betwen ubuntu-win (ubuntu wifi+eth) (win eth) ?? thx!
[11:47] <Starnestommy> Maveas: and some client scripts often give away the real ip
[11:47] <huwenfeng> what to do now ? i need to watch movie with srt files loaded ! how can i do that?
[11:47] <orgthingy> MY WEBCAME DOESNT WORK
[11:47] <NthDegree> Maveas, if the IRCd is vulnerable (hacker) then staff would be attacked, not users :P
[11:47] <orgthingy> helpz me!!
[11:47] <Maveas> Hmm.. Some guy once got my IP on QuakeNet :S
[11:47] <dns53> Kolka in intrepid it is suppose to allow that, not sure how
[11:48] <Starnestommy> Maveas: but these things rarely happen and a I would say that a vhost or cloak is about 99% effective
[11:48] <NthDegree> QuakeNet is a bit different
[11:48] <NthDegree> Freenode uses a massively different system when it comes to hiding IPs
[11:48] <kieko> can someone help me with chmod?
[11:48] <Maveas> Starnestommy: Which clients gives away the IP? :) XChat? :S
[11:48] <NthDegree> if you're 100% paranoid you can use Tor
[11:48] <NthDegree> but the price is speed
[11:48] <kieko> i need to get write permmission
[11:49] <orgthingy> !webcam | orgthingy
[11:49] <NthDegree> kieko, chmod 666 filename
[11:49] <Kolka> dns53,  its not possible¿? :(
[11:49] <kieko> can i do gksu nautilus ?
[11:49] <Maveas> Hmm, I'll just google Tor :)
[11:49] <Starnestommy> Maveas: no
[11:49] <NthDegree> kieko, use sudo chmod 666 filename
[11:49] <NthDegree> kieko, that gives everyone write permission
[11:49] <Starnestommy> Maveas: cgiirc and mibbit do, but they're web gateways
[11:49] <Maveas> Ok, thanks for the answers NthDegree and Starnestommy :)
[11:49] <kieko> NthDegree, chmod 666 filename gives write permission? i thought there were things like x and +
[11:49] <dns53> Kolka you bring up network manager and select the networks to share
[11:49] <Maveas> Ahh, I remember the Tor project :)
[11:50] <Maveas> And yes, it is very slow..
[11:50] <NthDegree> kieko, yes you can do +w or whatever but the number way is easier to remember for me >.>
[11:50] <Starnestommy> NthDegree: many irc networks either ban tor entirely or place restrictions on its use
[11:50] <NthDegree> Starnestommy, but we don't do we? =]
[11:50] <Kolka> how? :S
[11:50] <Starnestommy> Maveas: whoops, that was to you, not NthDegree
[11:50] <NthDegree> haha
[11:50] <UnknownUser56> ctrl alt backspace ...
[11:51] <kieko> NthDegree, kewl... and if i have a bunch of files how can i do them all at once please?
[11:51] <Maveas> I wont use Tor .. It's tooooooo slow xD
[11:51] <Starnestommy> NthDegree: freenode requires a hidden service for it which is often temporarily blocked by staff to curb abuse and it's cloaked in a way that makes it easy to ban in many channels including this one
[11:51] <NthDegree> kieko, well put more than one filename on the end.. or use wildcards like /path/to/files/*
[11:52] <NthDegree> Starnestommy, doesn't the "trusted user" system still exist for Tor?
