[02:54] <theuniverse> thank you
[02:54] <mindrape> endo602 -yup
[02:54] <darkbishop> Flannel:yup.. and its worse then thunderbird.maybe its just me....
[02:54] <cmdrsmith> hey quick question  how do you find your cd rom on here
[02:55] <endo602> mindrape: in lspci i see HD Audio COntroller
[02:55] <mylisto> hey...
[02:55] <mindrape> endo602 - that is it.
[02:55] <mylisto> about installing ubuntu...
[02:55] <Flannel> darkbishop: What do you dislike about Thunderbird?
[02:55] <joebodo> gareth_ you could try killall nm-applet try and start it again
[02:55] <Sir_Sid> yes mylisto
[02:55] <endo602> mindrape:  how come i cant hear anything
[02:55] <endo602> ?
[02:55] <mindrape> cmdrsmith - if you pop a disk in it will be mounted to /media/ folder I believe.
[02:55] <mylisto> trying to install now
[02:55] <stinger> Hello, is there a way to get aptitude to show all available versions of a package ? not just the latest or the one which it is going to install
[02:55] <mindrape> cmdrsmith - df -Th should show it if its mounted properly.
[02:55] <mylisto> I've installed pclinux os before...
[02:55] <darkbishop> what is the command to format "/dev/sdb"
[02:55] <Sir_Sid> ok
[02:55] <mylisto> what are the basics
[02:55] <mindrape> endo602 - the volume could be turned all the way down.
[02:55] <Flannel> stinger: apt-cache policy package
[02:55] <pinkey> after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10, VPN (vpnc) no longer connects... it just times out.  Any ideas?
[02:55] <greghere> mindrap, I installed Ubuntu 8.04, and uninstalled power management from Synaptic package manager now it wont boot.
[02:55] <mindrape> darkbishop: man fdisk
[02:55] <Sir_Sid> mylisto, what do you mean basics? basics of what
[02:56] <endo602> mindrape: it isnt
[02:56] <mylisto> I'm at the prepare disk space screen
[02:56] <joebodo> !vpn
[02:56] <mindrape> endo602 - hold... looking up a command for you.
[02:56] <Sir_Sid> mylisto, well what would you like to do
[02:56] <darkbishop> flannel:need the junk email been move to junk automaticly....
[02:56] <endo602> mindrape: my lcd for sound device says no digital data
[02:56] <mylisto> I want to get rid of the windows partition
[02:56] <gareth_> joebodo: nothing
[02:56] <Flannel> darkbishop: oh, you can set that up fairly easily actually.
[02:56] <Sir_Sid> mylisto, you can let ubuntu wipe your disk or allow it to make room for ubuntu and dual boot
[02:56] <endo602> mindrape: i am using optical output
[02:56] <mylisto> fudge a dual boot...
[02:56] <mylisto> xp is so badly messed up...thats why I am using linux
[02:56] <Sir_Sid> mylisto, are you doing this manually? Otherwise tell it to use the entire disk
[02:57] <mylisto> guide - use entire disk?
[02:57] <Spets> checking
[02:57] <mindrape> endo602 - hrmmmmm.... not sure what you mean exactly... sounds like a fancy shmancy setup
[02:57] <Sir_Sid> mylisto, thats right
[02:57] <albuntu> i just installed intrepid 64 bit but i am having a problem with the wireless card. it is an asus wl-138g. anyone that can help ? it doesnt show the connection at all
[02:57] <Flannel> darkbishop: I've never done it, but I know that feature is built in.  If you go to Account Settings, there's a Junkmail screen.
[02:57] <mylisto> ok...
[02:57] <mikejet> I only use xp because linux doesn't support my ThinkPad T20 graphics card.
[02:57] <mylisto> no more windows :) :)
[02:57] <joebodo> !wifi
[02:57] <darkbishop> flannel:okey...
[02:57] <Spets> what is it with scrolling down that just isnt happening for me
[02:57] <Sir_Sid> mylisto, i hope you've backed up everything on that sytem :) enjoy ubuntu
[02:57] <darkbishop> flannel:lemme have a look.if im stuck i come and ask again
[02:58] <Flannel> darkbishop: you might also try #thunderbird on irc.mozilla.org
[02:58] <mylisto> yeah I did back everything up
[02:58] <endo602> mindrape: gnome alsa mixer doesnt detect a soundcard, is there a way to set sound to defualt (like after install of 8.10) or do i have to just do a hard install?
[02:58] <mylisto> deal is...sending the laptop in to get serviced...but in the meantime I need to do some stuff with ubuntu
[02:58] <mindrape> endo602 -you mean the dropdown is greyed out or something?
[02:58] <mylisto> mainly audio
[02:58] <endo602> yes
[02:58] <joebodo> gareth_ ask your question again - this is a common problem
[02:58] <dope> i had sound yesterday and today i don't :O
[02:58] <endo602> mindrape: yes
[02:58] <Sir_Sid> mylisto, what kind of audio? Have you used audacity before?
[02:58] <mylisto> got bored with pc linux though
[02:58] <nintendork32> jrib: i got yakyuke or whatever its called but after i run the program it doesnt want to close!
[02:58] <mylisto> yeah I've used audacity....
[02:59] <andrews> I am having problems with Audio in\mic my sound card is a Sound Blaster CA0106, Sound is fine just not recording or skype.
[02:59] <mylisto> don't like how they dont have visual vst support...yet
[02:59] <sjdurfey> how well does dual-monitor support in 8.10 perform and how easy is it to set it up?
[02:59] <gareth_> joebodo: you mean to you, or to the chat room?
[02:59] <Sir_Sid> mylisto, Im not sure what that is :p I dont do audio
[02:59] <joebodo> gareth_ to the room - im out of ideas
[02:59] <mylisto> vst...
[02:59] <mindrape> !xinerama
[02:59] <jrib> nintendork32: press f12
[02:59] <joebodo> !skype
[02:59] <mylisto> something to do with steinberg (cubase, etc)
[03:00] <andrews> sjdurfey: what kind of video card do you have?
[03:00] <gareth_> Does anyone know how to get Network Manager back, I upgraded to 8.10 and now it is gone?
[03:00] <MurielGodoi> Hi all,  I got the message "FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko): Operation not permitted" when modprobe nvidia. Ubuntu 8.10  / gforce4 mx440
[03:00] <Sir_Sid> mylisto, no idea what that means
[03:00] <MurielGodoi> any idea?
[03:00] <sjdurfey> andrews: it will be an ATI card more than likely
[03:00] <mylisto> um
[03:00] <mylisto> brb
[03:00] <mylisto> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Studio_Technology
[03:00] <temppy> gareth_: how do you know its gone?
[03:01] <mindrape> gareth_: pull up a commandline and type          sudo NetworkManager
[03:01] <nintendork32> jrib: thannks it worked
[03:02] <andrews> sjdurfey: I think that should work pretty easy but I have never set it up on ATI
[03:02] <storrgie> jtisme: so... i tried to set it up but on one machine i cant get my wireless to work now
[03:02] <sjdurfey> i prefer to support ATI, but if its easier/cheaper with an nVidia, i dont have a problem with that
[03:02] <mindrape> MurielGodoi: sudo modprobe nvidia
[03:02] <andrews> I have Skype set up, I am just not getting any Audio In into Ubuntu
[03:03] <jtisme> storrgie, does the 10..0.0 net work?
[03:03] <joebodo> andrews i had to enable mic boost
[03:03] <storrgie> jtisme: not sure yet
[03:03] <jtisme> storrgie, try it and see
[03:03] <temppy> gareth_: dpkg -l | grep ^ii\ \ network
[03:03] <andrews> joebodo: how do you do that
[03:03] <MurielGodoi> mindrape:  ops my bad.... FATAL: Module nvidia not found.
[03:03] <ad_> can anyone help me something is overriding my emerald theme manager preventing me changin any theme
[03:04] <mindrape> MurielGodoi - sudo apt-get install it... you will need to add universe to your repos I believe.
[03:04] <MurielGodoi> mindrape: i got that after install restrited drivers
[03:04] <joebodo> right click on volume - open volume control - preferences - check mic boost - close that window - pick switches tab - check mic boost
[03:04] <mindrape> MurielGodoi - you sure they aren't loaded already?    lspci | grep "nvidia"
[03:04] <storrgie> jtisme: what about this.... system setting checkbox
[03:05] <mindrape> err... lsmod
[03:05] <mindrape> MurielGodoi: lsmod | grep "nvidia"
[03:05] <greghere> Whats the best file system to use for an Ubuntu install, XFS, Ext2, or Ext3?
[03:05] <FloridaGuy> upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10....have problem.....panel at top of screen and windows blend to gether colors look like windows 2000...and software sourses wont open
[03:05] <jtisme> storrgie, dont know about it i only use cli for net etc.
[03:05] <P> !ebox
[03:05] <BoltClock> flash player 9 has been preventing all other programs from making sound and causing firefox to randomly fail to quit properly and other programs to crash, as well as force me to restart my entire computer. im using hardy.
[03:06] <jtisme> storrgie, just ping from box 1 to box 2 on 10 network
[03:06] <mindrape> greghere: "best" based on what criteria?
[03:06] <temppy> greghere: I think ext3 is a safe bet.  Its what I use.
[03:06] <MurielGodoi> mindrape: nop no return
[03:06] <greghere> Floridaguy, how do you upgrade?
[03:06] <mindrape> !nvidia | MurielGodoi
[03:06] <FloridaGuy> update manager
[03:06] <mindrape> MurielGodoi: did you follow those instructions?
[03:07] <greghere> temppy, I use Ext3 as well, but I read that XFS was better, but only for large servers?
[03:07] <FloridaGuy> greghere, i used update manager
[03:07] <greghere> temppy, I was wondering weather it is ok for a standalone box?
[03:07] <ville__> hi! I just started to wonder if an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 is a less good option to a fresh install ?
[03:07] <storrgie> jtisme: yes all seem to work
[03:08] <ad_> anyone have any idea how me installing a theme has stopped my emerald theme manager from working properly
[03:08] <storrgie> jtisme: except for wireless on the other machine
[03:08] <greghere> floridaguy, Where is "update manager"?
[03:08] <mindrape> ville__: six of one, a half dozen of the other... I've never had problems going through multiple upgrades and I've been on the same install since 2005.
[03:08] <joebodo> administration->update manager
[03:08] <jtisme> storrgie, the problem is probably routing on the wireless machine
[03:08] <gareth_> temppy: says "ii  network-manager                            0.7~~svn20081018t105859-0ubuntu1                     network management framework daemon
[03:08] <gareth_> ii  network-manager-gnome                      0.7~~svn20081020t000444-0ubuntu1                     network management framework (GNOME frontend
[03:08] <gareth_> "
[03:08] <mylisto> wondering...have any of you used fedora?
[03:08] <FloridaGuy> system administration
[03:08] <temppy> greghere: I dunno, but better for what?  Its just harddisk access.  You mainly want it to be reliable.  I've had ubuntu hard reboot on me, and my filesystem is fine, probably do to the journaling of ext3
[03:08] <mylisto> whats the difference between ubuntu and fedora?
[03:08] <jtisme> storrgie, what is the ip address of the wireless
[03:09] <mylisto> pros and cons?
[03:09] <storrgie> <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:09] <ville__> mindrape: ok thx alot :) I have 4 computers at home all running ubuntu 8.10 :)
[03:09] <nathan42100> hey, is there a log for Vino?
[03:09] <nathan42100> I can't seem to find one
[03:09] <temppy> mylisto: can you ask that in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:09] <jtisme> storrgie, what is the router address
[03:09] <mindrape> mylisto - uhmmmm... that's a huge debate laden with opinions and flamewars...
[03:09] <MurielGodoi> mindrape: I'm taking a look and try something... thanks
[03:09] <temppy> gareth_: well, you have network manager installed
[03:09] <greghere> temppy, apparently XFS is also a "journaling FS" but much more resilient to failure.
[03:09] <rocky-xu> I am useing irc?who can help me ?
[03:09] <squee_>  /join #nerdgy
[03:10] <ravengirl> Question - If I install the server edition of Ubuntu on this computer will I be able to get xchat as part of the install?
[03:10] <storrgie> jtisme: yea thats it
[03:10] <counter|sleep> don't use XFS on user systems!
[03:10] <mindrape> ravengirl: you can always apt-get install it but NO it likely will NOT be part of the default install.  :)
[03:10] <Reformer81> Could someone recommend a simple and effective FTP server?  Preferably one with a GUI configuration, if possible.
[03:10] <ville__> Reformer81: FTPD
[03:10] <ravengirl> thanks mindrape
[03:10] <Flannel> Reformer81: What and who and why are you serving?
[03:10] <squee_> On Intrepid it has a background image on the panel, can anyone give me the location for that image?
[03:11] <greghere> counter|sleep, uh, Ok, why not?
[03:11] <joebodo> i thought server edition does not install x - therefore - no x programs will work
[03:11] <jtisme> storrgie, u mean <IP_ADDRESS> is the router
[03:11] <ravengirl> thought so
[03:11] <Flannel> Reformer81: actually, what doesn't matter.
[03:11] <pinkey> does anyone know of problems with vpnc making a VPN connection (to a cisco concentrator) after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10?
[03:11] <FloridaGuy> greghere, did you see where i said it was at...system administration
[03:11] <nathan42100> anyone?
[03:11] <counter|sleep> greghere too experimental
[03:11] <Flannel> joebodo: If you install an X program, you'll then have X.  Server edition just doesn't install graphical stuff by default.
[03:11] <greghere> Floridaguy, yes thank you :)
[03:11] <pawan> hi
[03:11] <storrgie> jtisme: yes sorry
[03:12] <ville__> damn i hate this toshiba wlan card.. cant even stream movies from my other computer :(
[03:12] <joebodo> flannel k
[03:12] <Guest17685> i fked up on the ebox installation how do i remove it? i tried purge but its still running ??
[03:12] <jtisme> storrgie, ok hold on a sec
[03:12] <FloridaGuy> greghere, you wasent helping me...you just needed to know how to upgrade ?
[03:12] <Reformer81> Flannel: Just myself when I'm away from my home system.
[03:13] <endo602> anyone have luck getting optical out on xfi card?
[03:13] <pawan> how to upgrade from terminal
[03:13] <greghere> counter|sleep, I might give XFS a go anyway :) whats the worst that can happen, and I will learn from it!
[03:13] <joebodo> !surround
[03:13] <Flannel> Reformer81: Use sftp instead.  You'll connect via ssh, it'll be a whole lot easier to get the ports working, and all you have to do to set it up is install ssh (sudo apt-get install openssh-server) and then port forward the proper port (22)
[03:13] <andrews> joebodo: which Device do I select
[03:13] <joebodo> !surroundsound
[03:13] <mindrape> pawan - sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade  ;  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:13] <temppy> !upgrade > pawan
[03:13] <Guest17685> i fked up on the ebox installation how do i remove it? i tried purge but its still running ?
[03:13] <Reformer81> Flannel: Problem is all that means very little to me :)
[03:14] <squee_> On Intrepid by default it has a background image on the panel, can anyone give me the location for that image?
[03:14] <Flannel> Reformer81: sudo apt-get install openssh-server, then port forward port 22 on your router to your computer.  Make sure you have a strong password (and consider changing port 22 to something else or using DenyHosts)
[03:14] <gareth_> temppy: I can connect to the internet, I just dont cant see the connections anywhere, and there is not network manager in my preferences
[03:14] <atarinox> Does anybody have a recommendation for an audio player taht has decent music library customization? - I'd like to have separate windows for artists, albums, and tracks
[03:14] <Tcha> Salut
[03:14] <atarinox> kind of like I used to have in winamp
[03:14] <joebodo> andrews depends on your sound card - i had to try a bunch of combinations - mines currently set in skype as : nvidia mcp04 (hw:mcp04,0)
[03:15] <CoJaBo-Eee> Is there a reason Ubuntu server would show "starting up the partitioner" with the screen flashing?
[03:15] <counter|sleep> greghere yaeh learning OK , but don't put essentail data on it
[03:15] <Tcha> j'ai une partition windows bourrée de virus et je voudrais formater pour installer ubuntu a la place, c'est possible de formater depuis le live cd ?
[03:15] <needles> atarinox: amarok
[03:15] <felipe__> hi
[03:15] <jtisme> storrgie, what does your route table look like
[03:15] <rww> !fr | Tcha
[03:15] <storrgie> jtisme: i would not know how to get that for you
[03:15] <Tcha> oups sorry
[03:15] <andrews> joebodo: thanks I'll play with it some more
[03:15] <atarinox> needles, Amarok? not XMMS?
[03:15] <Guest17685> i fked up on the ebox installation how do i remove it? i tried purge but its still running ??????
[03:15] <freshhawk> Have a lenovo thinkpad x61 with Intrepid. after the last round of updates (early yesterday or the day before) the whole system freezes and i have to hard reboot. Anyone have some pointers on how i can try to diagnose this?
[03:15] <temppy> gareth_: try running nm-applet
[03:16] <squee_> Guest27667:  ebox?
[03:16] <Shawnc> lol
[03:16] <Shawnc> !ebox
[03:16] <FloridaGuy> anyone know whats wrong here....i upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10...now software source manager wont open....desk top and windows are gerinic themed and if i open terminal or softthing eles right now..xchat will be blocked
[03:16] <freshhawk> oops, that would be "the whole system freezes about every 10 minutes and i have to reboot"
[03:16] <bullgard4> Why does pppstatus print 'Received Packets=0' although I did receive some IP packages?
[03:16] <Shawnc> instead of webmin
[03:16] <jtisme> storrgie, netstat -rn  look for line beginning with <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:16] <Tcha> so I want to format a dd  with windows on it from the ubuntu live cd, is this possible ?
[03:16] <gareth_> temppy: nothing
[03:16] <amikrop> So, Jaunty is going to be released in May?
[03:16] <Flannel> Tcha: You want to format it to a windows partition? or what?
[03:16] <dyf> hello
[03:16] <Flannel> amikrop: April
[03:16] <counter|sleep> yeah tcha
[03:16] <temppy> gareth_: does an icon pop up on your panels?
[03:16] <dyf> is someone here from europe?
[03:16] <needles> atarinox: xmms has been deprecated, amarok is better in many respects, including builtin sql database. XMMS is now 'audacity' i use both.
[03:16] <jtisme> storrgie,  frist row id destination second is gateway tell me the gateway addr
[03:16] <Tcha> Flannel: I want to replace windows with ubuntu
[03:16] <amikrop> Flannel: ok, thx
[03:17] <gareth_> temppy: no icon
[03:17] <CoJaBo-Eee> Is Ubuntu server Intrepid stable?
[03:17] <jtisme> storrgie, frist=first
[03:17] <joebodo> !jaunty
[03:17] <storrgie> jtisme: got nothing for 0000
[03:17] <jtisme> storrgie, id=is
[03:17] <Tcha> counter|sleep: how ?
[03:17] <greghere> FloridaGuy, i didnt say i was helping you, I just answered you question?? :)
[03:17] <squee_> Guest27667:  go to /etc/apache and see if it has sites in sites-enabled.  If it does, remove that.  Also check /var/lib/www for any files.  You could also try just running "sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart" to make apache reload it's configuration
[03:17] <storrgie> jtisme: i dont have an entry for the wlan interface
[03:17] <Flannel> Tcha: Ah.  Yes, you can do that from the liveCD.  But you don't need to partition before installing, you can just install (and do the parittioning during the install)
[03:17] <Tcha> is mkfs the command ?
[03:17] <darkbishop> flannel:done.. thx...
[03:17] <temppy> gareth_: I dunno, sorry.
[03:17] <Tcha> is is already partitionned
[03:17] <jtisme> storrgie, do u kno howto pastebin
[03:17] <squee_> Guest27667:  but i'm assuming a lot here, it might not use apache, i've never used ebox
[03:18] <Flannel> Tcha: Let the installer take care of it all then.
[03:18] <counter|sleep> just install and use disk full, look in the installer, very easy
[03:18] <storrgie> it wouldnt do you anything for the netstat
[03:18] <rww> Tcha, run the installer and it should do it for you :)
[03:18] <orci_> hi all, is market apps hosted by google or t-mobile?
[03:18] <Tcha> in fact I slipt my HD in 3, because it is broken somewhere
[03:18] <orci_> can t-mobile charge for market applications
[03:18] <Flannel> orci_: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-Ubuntu support, thanks
[03:18] <orci_> oops I am sorry
[03:18] <greghere> FloridaGuy, I thought you were helping me, and I thanked you for that help. :)
[03:18] <jtisme> storrgie, is the 10.0.0 network shown in netstat -rn
[03:18] <FloridaGuy> greghere, sounded like you asked a ?..no one answered anything
[03:18] <orci_> Flannel, thought I was in android
[03:18] <nathan42100> anyone know where the log files for VINO are?
[03:18] <Tcha> I tried this but the ubuntu installer is not clear on the partitionning, I don't understand the options very well
[03:18] <FloridaGuy> your welcome
[03:18] <Tcha> maybe it is because I have 3 partitions on the disk already
[03:19] <stinger> Hello I am trying to install firefox-3 with aptitude but it seems the beta4 was installed ? is firefox-3 final release in aptitude ?
[03:19] <darkbishop> do amrok look like xmms?
[03:19] <rww> Tcha, do you want to remove all of those partitions and use the whole disk for Ubuntu, or do you have a more complicated plan?
[03:19] <Kuruntu> do you know how to reestablish the panel where the different windows organize, sort of like the task bat in windows?????
[03:19] <counter|sleep> Tcha let delete old partitions, if you don't need them
[03:19] <Kuruntu> *task bar
[03:19] <ville__> Tcha: are you runnning other operating systems?
[03:20] <storrgie1> jtisme: check im's
[03:20] <Kuruntu> :-D
[03:20] <Tcha> rww: a part of my disk seems broken (make the boot bug if used) so I will only use one of the 3 partitions to be sure
[03:20] <Tcha> ville__: i'm ready to use only linux if it woks well
[03:20] <ad_> anyone have any idea how to reaplce my emerald back to normal I tried reinstalling it but still cant change theme
[03:20] <needles> darkbishop: negative, totally different, also xmms is now audacity.
[03:21] <Tcha> so I run the installer and it will offer to delete windows ?
[03:21] <Shawnc> how do i end the ebox proccesss????????????????????????????????????
[03:21] <rww> Tcha, yes
[03:21] <Shawnc> its not working
[03:21] <Shawnc> :(
[03:21] <CoJaBo-Eee> What would cause Ubuntu server to stall with a flashing screen when trying to install?
[03:21] <nathan42100> anyone know where the log files for VINO are?
[03:21] <lavacano201014> Shawnc: You don't need that many question marks.
[03:21] <ville__> Tcha: ok I understand but are you now going to run dual boot with windows?
[03:21] <Tcha> rww: thanks I try that
[03:21] <Tcha> bye everyone
[03:21] <Shawnc> i do so lavacano201014 as no one is answering me and im getting annoyed lol
[03:21] <lavacano201014> Shawnc: I don't know what they're actually called, but try "killall ebox"
[03:21] <joebodo> shawnc how about killall ebox ?
[03:22] <darkbishop> !info vino
[03:22] <lavacano201014> !repeat | ]Shawnc
[03:22] <needles> Shawnc: ps aux |grep ebox  ....find the PID and type kill its pid.

[03:22] <xcerca> i have an amd64 , and installed firefox32 (for the sun-java plugin) and i want to install the adobe flash plugin for it, what would be the best way to do this, i tried downloading the .deb from adobe and using dpkg -- force-architecture which installed but i still get "You need to get the latest Flash Player to see this video." on some sites
[03:22] <xcerca> anybody have this same setup ?
[03:22] <jrib> xcerca: visit http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ and click on the yellow bar.  Undo what you did first.
[03:22] <lavacano201014> Shawnc: Basically, if you aren't getting answered, the best course of action is to try Google. Not to spam question marks.
[03:22] <xcerca> thanks
[03:23] <lavacano201014> You can repeat a couple times at, say, 10 minute intervals
[03:23] <joebodo> xerca unbuntu-restricted-others contains both the latest flash and java
[03:23] <ville__> dudes .. I have forgotten the command to remove software through the terminal.. was the command purge or something?
[03:23] <Kuruntu> Shawn  RIGHT CLICK IN ANY PANEL add to panel and look force to quit
[03:23] <joebodo> xerca oops unbuntu-restricted-extras contains both the latest flash and java
[03:23] <jrib> !apt > ville__
[03:23] <rww> xcerca, instead of using 32-bit firefox, you could just use the normal firefox and install ubuntu-restricted-extras. It has a wrapper for 32-bit plugins on 64-bit firefox, plus java, plus flash
[03:23] <mastrgamr> how do i expand my bottom taskbar?
[03:23] <counter|sleep> install flash on 64 bit system: install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:24] <jrib> xcerca: ah I missed that you were using 32bit firefox.  Though I'm guessing you just need to copy libflashplayer.so in the your firefox32's plugin directory in that case
[03:24] <xcerca> rww  , thats all i would need to do then   , remove all of the firefox32 bs and just install firefox and ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[03:24] <ad_> w00t emeralds working
[03:24] <andrews> I got my computer recording in gnome sound recorder but it sounds really bad
[03:24] <xcerca> i'll try that
[03:24] <rww> xcerca, correct. That works fine for me, anyway :)
[03:25]  * rww uses 64bit too
[03:25] <jrib> xcerca: you won't have sun's java plugin on normal firefox, but there is open java's plugin
[03:25] <mastrgamr> how do i expand my bottom taskbar? i cant right click it and go to the properties
[03:25] <Shawnc> how do i end the ebox proccess?? :(
[03:25] <rww> jrib, i think sun's java plugin comes with ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:25] <mastrgamr> kill it
[03:25] <rww> jrib, though i could be mistaken about that
[03:25] <thiebaude> rww:yup it does
[03:25] <xcerca> i'll check it out , i was using an open java one before and i could send emails on msn
[03:25] <meta> Hi all
[03:25] <jrib> rww: installs icedtea6-plugin
[03:25] <counter|sleep> end a process... kill -9 application name
[03:26] <jimbo> so i cannot get my computer to recoginize my canon digi camera, any ideas
[03:26] <rww> mastrgamr, you're using gnome? there should be an area to the far-left that you can right-click
[03:26] <CoJaBo-Eee> Has anyone used Ubuntu Intrepid?
[03:26] <rww> ( or far right )
[03:26] <jrib> CoJaBo-Eee: probably
[03:26] <meta> Anyone can help me with the PPTP connection in Ubuntu 8.10 until i upgrade my vpn dont work
[03:26] <joebodo> !camera
[03:26] <rww> CoJaBo-Eee, most of us, at this point :)
[03:26] <CoJaBo-Eee> I cant get the server version to install, any ideas?
[03:27] <rww> CoJaBo-Eee, any more information? Do you get an error message? How exactly does it break? Etc.
[03:28] <Decepticon> what do i put for the 5th and 6th fields of an entry in /etc/fstab
[03:28] <jrib> Decepticon: read 'man fstab'
[03:28] <CoJaBo-Eee> It gets to "starting up the partitioner", then the screen starts flashing. Running under VMware.
[03:28] <Decepticon> jrib unfortunely i did not understand man fstab
[03:28] <nathan42100> !info vino
[03:28] <Decepticon> jrib unfortunely i did not understand man fstab about the 5th and 6th field
[03:28] <richard_> ls
[03:28] <richard_> whooops
[03:28] <nathan42100> why can't I find the log file for Vino anywhere?
[03:29] <jrib> Decepticon: 5th is 0 6th is 2 if you want it to be fscked and 0 if not (unless it's / in which case it is 1)
[03:29] <nathan42100> and I can't find anything online that points me in the right direction either
[03:29] <Decepticon> jrib what does ti mean to fsck or to not fsck
[03:29] <freetown> Decepticon, file system check
[03:30] <meta> Anyone can help me with the PPTP connection in Ubuntu 8.10 until i upgrade my vpn dont work
[03:30] <joebodo> !dialup
[03:30] <CoJaBo-Eee> Its been flashing for about 30 minutes now, so I don't think its going anywhere :/
[03:30] <richard_> is there any way that i can configure a user so that files it writes have universally open permissions (777) by default (i know it's horribly insecure. this is on a closed network, so i'm not concerned.)
[03:30] <joebodo> richard_ man umask
[03:30] <jrib> richard_: set umask appropriately
[03:31] <gavagai> I accidentally removed the wireless network thing on the panel!  how do i add it back?  i don't see it in the options when i right click and choose add to panel.
[03:31] <richard_> thanks
[03:31] <sbingner> or, more appropriately... set umask inappropriately :D
[03:31] <jrib> sbingner: heh :)
[03:31] <joebodo> gavagai alt-f2 nm-applet
[03:31] <gavagai> joebodo, thanks
[03:32] <richard_> haha, man umask outputs No manual entry for umask, oh well
[03:32] <richard_> time for web man pages
[03:32] <richard_> :)
[03:32] <gavagai> joebodo, that didn't bring it back
[03:32] <joebodo> richard_ sorry it's probly listed in the shell man pages
[03:32] <joebodo> richard_ ill see if i can find it
[03:32] <jrib> richard_: install manpages-posix   or do   help umask
[03:33] <gavagai> i lost the left seperator, the battery display, and the wireless display in one wrong click.  i was just trying to remove the seperator thing.
[03:33] <chuy_max> hey guys, how can I know if my wireless net card supports monitor mode?, I ran "iwconfig eth1 mode Monitor" (3com card) without luck, saying the arguments are invalid, but then I ran it on wlan0 (AIN card) and it worked without problem
[03:33] <joebodo> gavagai - oh that's the notification area applet
[03:33] <joebodo> gavagai - see if you can just re-add that
[03:34] <gavagai> joebodo, that worked thanks
[03:34] <FinkoCamo> My external FAT32 HDD is only allowing read permissions. I cant cut or paste anything onto it. Have I mounted it incorrectly I assume?
[03:34] <Decepticon> how do i show the computer icon on the desktop, where is it in gconf-editor
[03:34] <jrib> FinkoCamo: how did you mount it?
[03:34] <gareth_> Anyone know how to get network manager in 8.10?  I have tried everything and nothing is working
[03:34] <jrib> !icons | Decepticon
[03:35] <FinkoCamo> Simply sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/disk/ seems to have worked in the past.
[03:35] <jrib> FinkoCamo: right.  You need to pass a proper umask option
[03:35] <jrib> !vfat > FinkoCamo
[03:36] <squee_> On Intrepid by default it has a background image on the panel, can anyone give me the location for that image?
[03:36] <lavacano201014> squee_: It does?
[03:36] <Decepticon> also how do i get icons to the disks ive mounted via /etc/fstab
[03:36] <squee_> lavacano201014:  i thought it did, wasn't it a partially transparent image?
[03:36] <lavacano201014> squee_: I dunno
[03:36] <mrbrdo> hello, i am upgrading my server to 8.04 LTS, and it keeps hanging on "Setting up console-setup (1.21ubuntu8) ...". It doesn't hang the computer, but it never finishes this, i can only interrupt it (CTRL C)
[03:37] <lavacano201014> squee_: I installed GNOME via apt-get
[03:37] <mrbrdo> i'm looking at "* Setting up console font and keymap..." here for 10 minutes, that can't be normal
[03:37] <lavacano201014> Though I'm going to mess with panel images now
[03:37] <xcerca> ok thanks, i removed all of the firefox32 stuff, and installed firefox and ubuntu-restricted-extras , then i had to install flashplugin-nonfree and my flash works
[03:37] <gareth_> Anyone know how to get network manager in 8.10?  I have tried everything, and nothing works
[03:37] <joebodo> xcerca congrats
[03:37] <xcerca> but java looks like it works,  but can i still install the sun java plugin in firefox64
[03:38] <CoJaBo-Eee> What is the difference between the desktop and server versions?
[03:38] <counter|sleep> great xcerca ;)
[03:38] <n8tuser> gareth_-> if you do  sudo network-manager &  anything pops  up?
[03:38] <richard_> apparently the umask entry is a subsection of bash_builtins
[03:38] <Flannel> CoJaBo-Eee: The desktop has a GUI installed by default, the server doesnt
[03:38] <Flannel> CoJaBo-Eee: Either are relatively easy to convert to the other, or have both, etc.
[03:38] <lavacano201014> CoJaBo-Eee: Also, I think the server versions come with Apache, SSH, etc installed
[03:38] <mrbrdo> please, it's important that i fix this as fast as i can
[03:39] <augie> hey guys
[03:39] <Roasted> whats the default permissions for yoru home directory?
[03:39] <Roasted> 770?
[03:39] <joebodo> richard_ in the past, i have changed my umask by setting it in my .profile
[03:39] <augie>  I just installed xp and now grub's gone
[03:39] <CoJaBo-Eee> So I can install the desktop version and get the same setup as the server? I can't get the server installer to work.
[03:39] <augie> running the live cd now
[03:39] <Flannel> !grub | augie, first link
[03:39] <mrbrdo> hello, i am upgrading my server to 8.04 LTS, and it keeps hanging on "Setting up console-setup (1.21ubuntu8) ...". It doesn't hang the computer, but it never finishes this, i can only interrupt it (CTRL C)
[03:39] <lavacano201014> Roasted: I think it's 750
[03:39] <lavacano201014> 5 is r-x, right?
[03:39] <augie> Flannel: thx
[03:39] <Flannel> lavacano201014: yes
[03:39] <xcerca> when i goto compose an email on msn the box doesn't come up , what choice open java plugins are there,  what should i try , i have IcedTea right now ...   how would i use a wrapper to use the sun-java plugin in firefox 64 ?
[03:39] <Roasted> lava - 750??
[03:39] <Roasted> sudo chmod 750 jason is what I would run?
[03:40] <lavacano201014> Roasted: Unless you want other people to write to your stuff
[03:40] <mindrape> mrbrdo - when it gets to that point ALT F1 or ALT F2 to get to a console (might have to CTRL ALT F1 if you are in a gui installer) and see what the console msgs say.
[03:40] <lavacano201014> And edit family pictures, etc
[03:40] <Roasted> the only people I want to write to my stuff is my laptop when I log into it through samba... my home directory is shared on samba but only with authentication from my samba account. Would 750 prevent this?
[03:40] <lavacano201014> How high is a horizontal panel in pixels?
[03:40] <n8tuser> gareth_-> if you do  sudo network-admin &    my misstype earlier..
[03:41] <gigel2007> What do I put in the IDENTITY box to connect to a hidden wireless connection ? (the Connect button is inactive)
[03:41] <n8tuser> gigel2007-> whose hidden AP is it?
[03:41] <Roasted> lava, any input?
[03:42] <gigel2007> n8tuser: mine
[03:42] <Shawnc> ok
[03:42] <Shawnc> this is stupid
[03:42] <n8tuser> gigel2007-> i dont about identity but essid perhaps?
[03:42] <Shawnc> how do i change the pass on my ebox thing?
[03:42] <gigel2007> n8tuser: tried but the connect button is inactive
[03:42] <gareth_> n8tuser: what is the command?
[03:43] <LF|Irssi> Shawnc: it's most likely your same pass you use to login to ubuntu with thats how webmin is so maybe it might work for ebox
[03:43] <_cb> At the company I work for we tried giving away some old computers and did not find any takers. Loaded Ubuntu and Ubunto working fine. Am thinking there is a business opportunity helping companies get rid of their old computers, loading Ubuntu and selling them. Anyone doing that willing to share some advice?
[03:43] <n8tuser> gareth_-> you do  sudo network-admin &
[03:43] <Out_Cold> isn't the upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 just 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'?
[03:43] <Shawnc> i know wut the pass is lftl
[03:43] <Shawnc> LF|Irssi
[03:43] <Shawnc> but i dont like it
[03:43] <n8tuser> gigel2007-> then on the command line do  sudo dhclient wlan0
[03:43] <mindrape> !upgrade | Out_Cold
[03:43] <Shawnc> how do i change it?
[03:43] <Flannel> _cb: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place for that.
[03:43] <FloodBot3> Shawnc: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:43] <_cb> Thanks
[03:43] <gigel2007> n8tuser: what is that for ?
[03:44] <gareth_> n8tuser: all I get is [1] 10812
[03:44] <n8tuser> gigel2007-> what are you trying to accomplish?
[03:44] <Shawnc> LF|Irssi?
[03:44] <LF|Irssi> Shawnc: that im not sure sorry
[03:44] <gavagai> VLC won't play my dvd.  Do i need to install something extra for dvd playback?
[03:44] <Shawnc> ffs
[03:44] <gigel2007> n8tuser: to connect to my hidden network, but I write the info in the blanks and the connect button is inactive
[03:44] <Shawnc> im angry at this thing
[03:44] <n8tuser> gareth_-> i wonder if network-admin is installed for you
[03:44] <LF|Irssi> I personally refuse to use ebox
[03:44] <n8tuser> gigel2007-> then on the command line do  sudo dhclient wlan0
[03:45] <gigel2007> n8tuser: I will but please tell me what it does
[03:46] <gareth_> Anyone know how to get network manager going?  Cant get it working
[03:46] <orci> I see there is googleearth for iphone, is one coming for android as well?

[03:52] <Critical5> OK, I am trying to get ubuntu to recognize a compact flash USB card reader with no luck.  the usb ports are working, as I have tested them with a flash drive.  I have also tested the usb reader and ard on my mac and it work.  How can I get ubuntu to mount this card reader?
[03:52] <nathan42100> here is to hoping my router w/ tomato records IPs
[03:52] <stinger> Flannel, I just found out i had to add lunchpad to get firefox-3.0 RC1 so i was thinking it would be good to just get a big list so each time I want something I don't have to go looking for a new rep
[03:53] <gigel2007> joebodo: why ?
[03:53] <Flannel> stinger: What version of Ubuntu are you using?  Gutsy?
[03:53] <stinger> Flannel, yeah
[03:53] <juancarlospaco> im a total beginner in IRC (soy un principiante en esto del IRC)
[03:53] <Flannel> stinger: Have you considered upgrading?  Hardy has firefox3 (final, and then some)
[03:53] <Flannel> !es | juancarlospaco
[03:54] <nathan42100> damn. nope
[03:54] <n8tuser> gigel2007--> have you  man dhclient  yet?
[03:54] <Saga_> Using GParted, I have two unallocated partitions, should I be concerned about this?   I'm trying to merge them together so I can use cryptsetup.
[03:54] <justin_> Evenin, folks - having a bit of trouble with an external monitor on a laptop running Hardy
[03:54] <stinger> Flannel, yeah i herd its not all that stable yet and adding deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ubuntu to my rep seem to get me firefox 3
[03:54] <gigel2007> n8tuser: yes I even ran the command I got something about ports and it kept going
[03:54] <droopsta915> critical5:I had the same problem, my flashdrive was read as a hidden device, I'm afraid I tryed it in xp, it installed the hardware then I was able to use it in ubuntu.
[03:54] <Flannel> stinger: Hardy is... plenty stable.  It's been out for over six months now.
[03:55] <justin_> nvidia driver is installed, but I can't get anything more than 640x480 resolution on the external 19"LCD
[03:55] <n8tuser> gigel2007--> what do you mean it kept going?
[03:55] <Critical5> droopsta: The problem is, I don't have xp
[03:55] <stinger> Flannel, does Hardy also have kde4 ?
[03:55] <Flannel> stinger: It has both 3.5 and 4
[03:55] <gigel2007> n8tuser: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.xxxxx port 67 interval 7, 12 ,11 , etc
[03:55] <darkbishop> i got parted rar file... how do i combine it back to 1... before this i use winrar.. since its in wondows.. how do i extract it in ubuntu... cos all the downloaded house series is like tat.
[03:55] <FloridaGuy> ? there one package that removes all of gnome
[03:56] <n8tuser> justin_--> are the other resolution listed if you do a      sudo ddcprobe -?
[03:56] <stinger> Flannel, When i installed ubuntu i think i did a server version and then just installed a flat kde 3.5 ontop so i never got the ubuntu themed kde is there a way to get this ?
[03:56] <gigel2007> gigel2007: No DHCPOFFERS Received.
[03:56] <n8tuser> gigel2007--> and did you wait long enuff?
[03:56] <OpenSorce> Just noticed that the "96" Nvidia driver has been released for 8.10. The 173 driver seems to be working fine so far......any reason to switch?
[03:56] <justin_> command not found
[03:56] <n8tuser> gigel2007--> do it a couple more times, and if you still not getting an ip address, your AP is not associating with your wifi
[03:57] <gigel2007> n8tuser: what? I can connect to normal networks !
[03:57] <Flannel> stinger: Install kubuntu-desktop, and you'll have the Ubuntu one (well, Kubuntu one)
[03:57] <Flannel> stinger: or kubuntu-kde4-desktop if you want KDE4
[03:57] <n8tuser> gigel2007--> is access to your AP normal network?
[03:57] <gigel2007> n8tuser: but I can't connect through the hidden ones
[03:57] <gigel2007> n8tuser: yes
[03:57] <nathan42100> I wonder how hard it would be to integrate logging into vino
[03:58] <justin_> n8tuser, I don't appear to have ddcprobe
[03:58] <n8tuser> gigel2007--> why do you hide it? what happens if you activate your AP broadcasting of your essid ?
[03:58] <nathan42100> too bad it isn't open source
[03:59] <gigel2007> n8tuser: you can get hacked more easily
[04:00] <cfffq> gigel2007,  maybe 19seconds more?
[04:00] <gigel2007> n8tuser: I did try to broadcast it but it doesn't appear in the list when I click on the tray icon (it appears in airodump though)
[04:00] <rww> nathan42100, vino as in the remote desktop server for gnome? it's in main, so i'm pretty sure it's free/open source software =/
[04:00] <cfffq> is it worth?
[04:00] <justin_> gigel2007, not so much
[04:00] <devdavad> does anyone here think that they could help me with my xorg?
[04:00] <OpenSorce> n8tuser, if you are going to turn on AP Broadcast go ahead and leave the back door to your house open too :-P
[04:00] <n8tuser> gigel2007--> just for testing..but since you are hard headed, you are on your own
[04:00] <nathan42100> rww, I can't find the package on synaptic is what I mean
[04:00] <darkbishop> gigel2007:if people wanna hackur ap... its the hidden will slow them down.. but wont stop them tho
[04:00] <squee_> !ask | devdavad
[04:00] <orci> nathan42100, what do you mean vino is not open source
[04:00] <justin_> if you're using a solid encryption standard like WPA2, you'll be fine
[04:01] <orci> it is even better, free software
[04:01] <gigel2007> n8tuser: huh? didn't you read? n8tuser: I did try to broadcast it but it doesn't appear in the list when I click on the tray icon (it appears in airodump though)
[04:01] <n8tuser> OpenSorce--> yes and a nice dog with 4 inch fangs will greet you
[04:01] <darkbishop> nathan42100:if wine is opensource.. offcouse vino is.
[04:01]  * BrantlyM is away: Sleep
[04:01] <cfffq> justin_,  solid?
[04:01] <cfffq> wpa2?
[04:01] <rww> nathan42100, umm, it's package vino in main =/
[04:01] <gigel2007> n8tuser: I am broadcasting it right now, and it doesn't appear on the list and, I connect button is still inactive. I can connect to other open ones though
[04:01] <ariqs> what's good program for p2p "privacy" in unbut??
[04:01] <justin_> cfffq, better than WEP or WPA
[04:01] <ariqs> unbut = ubuntu
[04:01] <rww> unless we're talking about different apps named "vino" here
[04:02] <justin_> best available atm
[04:02] <n8tuser> gigel2007--> do an sudo iwlist wlan0 scan  to see if it appears ..assuming you are broadcasting temporarily
[04:02] <joebodo> best
[04:02] <justin_> n8tuser, I installed xresprobe, ran ddcprobe and got at the end edidfail
[04:03] <joebodo> best thing to do is setup your router to only accept connections from specific ips
[04:03] <joebodo> *specifc macs
[04:03] <cfffq> better, but solid as an ikea furniture......
[04:03] <n8tuser> justin_--> oh well, i dont know what other tools to use to give you indications
[04:03] <cfffq> jjjjjj
[04:03] <gigel2007> cfffq:  what do I put in the identiy box in the "connect to hidden networks box"
[04:03] <danroj> hi
[04:04] <danroj> i have a Atheros AR5B91 and in ubuntu intrepid this card is very bad
[04:04] <justin_> n8tuser, I know what the native resolution is - I just don't get the option to select it
[04:04] <danroj> the red is wrong...
[04:04] <danroj> help please
[04:04] <cfffq> gigel2007,  the essid?
[04:04] <n8tuser> justin_--> is it an option on your xorg.conf ?
[04:05] <n8tuser> gigel2007--> so does it list now?
[04:05] <justin_> nope - and i'm not comfortable enough with xorg.conf to mess around in there
[04:05] <bsusa> hello all
[04:06] <n8tuser> justin_--> as a rule of thumb, always make a backup copy of the xorg.conf before you modify it
[04:07] <justin_> right, I do that - I just don't know enough about it to do anything useful
[04:07] <storrgie> When i do a netstat -rn there is no entry for <IP_ADDRESS> WHY?!
[04:07] <Mason> hi?
[04:07] <joebodo> !hi | mason
[04:07] <n8tuser> justin_--> oh well, you haft to do a tutorial on xorg.conf then to give you confidence
[04:07] <Mason> lol
[04:08] <justin_> bah
[04:08] <justin_> Anybody got a puppy?
[04:08] <justin_> I needs to do some drop-kickin'
[04:08] <bsusa> i have a little issue with sound. Maybe its not really such a big problem. When i play mp3's then browse a website that has sound in it such as YouTube i get no sound in video until i close off Rhythmbox then re open the webpage. Is their any way to have both running with sound at the same time?
[04:08] <mrbrdo> i want to enable bootlogd.. i changed /etc/default/bootlogd but /var/log/boot is empty after reboot ^^
[04:09] <^Einstein> bsusa: that has been a problem since Linux was created, per the control of the sound card.
[04:09] <storrgie> When i do a netstat -rn there is no entry for <IP_ADDRESS> WHY?!
[04:09] <cfffq> mrbrdo, look sharp
[04:09] <mrbrdo> cfffq at what?
[04:09] <^Einstein> bsusa: I think it's fixed in the latest release for most hardware?
[04:09] <mrbrdo> $ cat boot
[04:09] <mrbrdo> pts/0
[04:09] <n8tuser> storrgie--> you dont have a default gateway
[04:09] <cfffq> at files .log
[04:10] <storrgie> n8tuser: how shall i remedy this"?
[04:10] <mrbrdo> cfffq it's /var/log/boot it's not .log
[04:10] <bsusa> oh ok so in 8.10
[04:10] <n8tuser> storrgie--> you can add a default gateway
[04:10] <Baatti> how do I fix my Atheron wLAN driver?
[04:10] <Optikal__> I'm looking at my resource tab in system monitor and it shows my #2 processor at 100% all the time
[04:10] <Optikal__> any idea why?
[04:10] <joebodo> !wifi | baatti
[04:10] <Baatti> thanks
[04:10] <Optikal__> (it's a multicore system actually)
[04:10] <Saga_> !DVD
[04:11] <bullgard4> I typed 'sudo pppstatus -d 1' in a console. Ubuntu 8.04.1 accepted without any output. There are now 2 'pppstatus' processes. Why does the ncurses PPPStatus program not show that I have received some IP packages in the mean time since calling it?
[04:11] <Optikal__> figured it out. runaway process
[04:11] <Shawnc> HOW DO I UNINSTALL EBOX?
[04:12] <joebodo> shawnc i would guess sudo apt-get remove ebox
[04:12] <Shadow420> hi ya everyone
[04:12] <bullgard4> Shawnc: People in this channel do not like that you write all letters in upper case.
[04:13] <^Einstein> perchance do we have a !caps warning? heheh.
[04:13] <joebodo> !caps
[04:13] <^Einstein> heheh.
[04:13] <ZXCZXC> i got win xp and ubuntu on the same hdd, how to uninstall ubuntu?
[04:13] <^Einstein> indeed we do.
[04:14] <joebodo> !uninstall
[04:14] <ZXCZXC> !uninstall
[04:14] <Shadow420> Shawnc | !edict
[04:14] <rww> ZXCZXC, did you install ubuntu with wubi, or on a separate partition?
[04:14] <^Einstein> ZXCZXC: manually edit partition tables and turn your Ubuntu partition into freespace.
[04:14] <Flannel> Shawnc: Which version of Ubuntu are you on?
[04:14] <ZXCZXC> rww, with grub on the separate part
[04:14] <helix> is there a regex channel ?
[04:15] <^Einstein> ZXCZXC: boot with live CD, and edit partition tables, unless you installed with wubi.
[04:15] <Flannel> Shawnc: try this: sudo apt-get remove --purge ebox ebox-*
[04:15] <^Einstein> helix: no idea, you might try perldocs or manpages
[04:15] <nickrud> ZXCZXC, boot xp, use it to write the mbr, and you're done. Do whatever you want with the ubuntu partition
[04:15] <n8tuser> helix--> try the nice folks at  #bash
[04:15] <helix> ^Einstein, i'll go ask on php channel
[04:15] <Flannel> helix: Or #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:15] <helix> thanks anyways guys :)
[04:15] <Baatti> hrm...this link isn't helping me too much
[04:16] <Baatti> I need to know what packages to install and such to use my Atheros wLAN driver with Ubuntu
[04:16] <^Einstein> Baati: it didn't autoinstall when you installed Ubuntu, or did you add the hardware after?
[04:17] <^Einstein> Baatti: what link did you try?
[04:17] <Baatti> it didn't autoinstall
[04:17] <ZXCZXC> nickrud, what u ment is to do 'fix mbr'
[04:17] <ZXCZXC> ?
[04:17] <Baatti> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[04:17] <nickrud> ZXCZXC, you have grub booting both xp and ubuntu?
[04:17] <ZXCZXC> nickrud, yeah
[04:17] <Baatti> i need madwifi or something
[04:18] <dotblank> Has anyone gotten ldap authentication to work/

[04:18] <Saga_> Hi people.  I can't run DVDs (encrypted movies, that is).
[04:18] <Saga_> I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras already.
[04:18] <darkbishop> i got parted rar file... how do i combine it back to 1... before this i use winrar.. since its in wondows.. how do i extract it in ubuntu... cos all the downloaded house series is like tat.
[04:18] <tritium> !dvd | Saga_
[04:18] <darkbishop> saga_:what kind of player did u use?
[04:19] <Saga_> darkbishop, anything -- but I prefer using Gnome MPlayer
[04:19] <nickrud> ZXCZXC, ok, what's going on right now is grub has a bit of software at the very beginning of the hard drive, the Master Boot Record. What you want to do is have that software in the master boot record boot xp directly. I don't use windows enough to guide you in doing that, but that's the goal. the people in #windows can tell you exactly.
[04:19] <^Einstein> darkbishop, maybe the cat function to concatenate files either before or after unzipping, I'm not sure
[04:19] <ToddEDM> ok guys, im trying to get my home folder off of the main partition, and place it on another for backup... how can i get the folder copied when im in liveCD?????
[04:19] <darkbishop> saga_: i dont have trouble using VLC... maybe u can try tat
[04:19] <^Einstein> ToddEDM: mount your partition and plug in backup media
[04:19] <joebodo> darkbishop you should be able to select any of the files and open with archive manager
[04:20] <joebodo> darkbishop archive maanger will combine them automatically
[04:20] <nickrud> ZXCZXC, once you've rewritten that mbr, the ubuntu partition is just like any other, and you can rewrite it as an ntfs one.
[04:20] <darkbishop> joebodo:hold on.lemme try it for a sec.
[04:20] <ToddEDM> i have both partitions mounted, i need permission
[04:20] <endo602> Anyone know how to enable 720p for Nvidia?
[04:20] <Saga_> darkbishop, I'm sure it'll work with VLC (In fact, I'm going to install it just in case) but I'd like to figure out why this wouldn't work with just any Linux players.
[04:21] <^Einstein> ToddEBM if you can see them, then you already have the permission you need....
[04:21] <Saga_> darkbishop, Maybe I don't have libdvdcss2 installed -- but when I typed that -- Ubuntu-restricted-extras showed up.
[04:21] <ToddEDM> ^Einstein: no i dont, im in liveCD
[04:21] <n8tuser> ToddEDM--> as root, you can copy from one dir to another
 what do you mean enable 720p
[04:21] <remu> Hey guys, I have a question, I am trying to install Windows Vista using VirtualBox 2.0. I was curious if USB will be working under Vista as the guest OS? I found this resource online: http://www.davidgrant.ca/virtualbox_usb_windows_xp_guest_ubuntu_hardy but am unsure as to where in the script I should put the recommended line. Could someone please help me out with that?
[04:21] <KyTiX> ToddEDM: Try sudo Nautilus         , then try it.
[04:21] <Shawnc> ø20:14:59ø Flannel • Shawnc: try this: sudo apt-get remove --purge ebox ebox-*
[04:21] <endo602> dotblank: i man i cant set it to the correct resolution
[04:21] <^Einstein> ToddEBM, like I said, even under the live CD, if you have read permissions, you can both see it and *copy iy*
[04:22] <ToddEDM> KyTiX: thats what i tried, but still not gettin permission
[04:22] <Shawnc> i did.... but it wont go away
[04:22] <Shawnc> i even killed its proccess
[04:22] <n8tuser> remu--> there is #virtualbox channel i believe
[04:22] <Shawnc> but its still using port 10000
[04:22] <Roasted> Default home directory permissions. What should they be set to? 750?
[04:22] <Baatti> ok, listen, Ubuntu isn't picking up my wireless driver.  it's an Atheros 5300ARG or something like that, I used to have this problem with Ubuntu before, and someone had me do somehting with 'madwifi'....does anyone know what I'm talking about?
[04:22] <nickrud> ToddEDM, mv /home/<username> <newpartition>/<username>
[04:22] <dotblank> the resolution for 720p is 1280x720 is that not listed as an available video mode/
[04:22] <Shawnc> im going to reboot the comp
[04:22] <Saga_> Okay -- VLC can't run the DVD -- What gives? :<
[04:22] <ToddEDM> nickrud: i will try that
[04:22] <AgentBlond> Hi. I'm running the 8.10 liveCD, but when I try to boot from my hard drive, it tries to run Ubuntu (which isn't installed). Is there a way I can configure my BIOS to show me my grublist when attempting to boot from my primary hard drive?
[04:22] <remu> n8tuser, thanks.
[04:22] <endo602> dotblank:  have you gotten 720p?
[04:23] <Shadow420> Baatti go to your drivers website to see if they have a linux driver avaible
[04:23] <Baatti> ok
[04:23] <Roasted> what are the default permissions of home directory?
[04:23] <KyTiX> Agentblond: you have your boot devices in the correct order?
[04:23] <dotblank> I have an HC3000 projector connect to my computer via dvi in 720p while dualscreening
[04:23] <n8tuser> AgentBlond--> your 1st priority to boot is cdrom?
[04:23] <AgentBlond> yes.
[04:23] <Roasted> .
[04:23] <Saga_> DVD issues -- Why can't I run DVDs on Ubuntu?  I have Ubuntu-restricted-extras installed and all video players (INCLUDING VLC) can't run it.  They displayed title name then halted.
[04:24] <AgentBlond> no, my 1st priority is C:/
[04:24] <Guest40773> Hey guys, sorry, but I can't figure out how to make my own nickname for IRC.
[04:24] <Roasted> saga do you have medibuntu repostiory installed?
 yes im using it right now
[04:24] <n8tuser> AgentBlond--> you still have the livecd rom inside the drive?
[04:24] <crtoe> works for me, didn't need medibuntu repositories either
[04:24] <nickrud> Roasted, 755 for the directory name, varies for stuff inside
[04:24] <Saga_> Roasted, No I don't think I do.
[04:24] <lovemij> boo
[04:24] <Guest40773> I am using irssi
[04:24] <justin_> Guest40773, do /nick whatever
[04:24] <itson> im able to browse though network drives, how do i mount it so i can access that drive inside easytag or something like that.. something spicific location line /mnt/blabla
[04:24] <AgentBlond> yes, atm, but i've tried rebooting without the CD in
[04:24] <AgentBlond> no luck
[04:24] <thatilove> hey
[04:24] <Roasted> saga - google the medibuntu repository. ITs very easy to install. Its the first thing I install upon a new install.
[04:25] <justin_> well done, thatilove
[04:25] <KyTiX> Agentblood: yeah I dont understand why it would be trying to boot ubuntu if you boot from c:/. The livecd doesnt edit anything at all.
[04:25] <Saga_> Roasted, Okay.  I'll look into it now -- Thank you.
[04:25] <masterjames> hey
[04:25] <lovemij> hi
[04:25] <n8tuser> AgentBlond--> without the livecd in the drive you can not boot the livecd
[04:25] <Roasted> There's also a lot of info on the medibuntu repository on the forums. Check there for archived answers.
[04:25] <endo602> dotblank:  how did you enable that in settings?
[04:25] <lovemij> where am i?
[04:25] <nickrud> !medibuntu
[04:25] <^Einstein> n8tuser: not true, you can mount the ISO
[04:25] <lovemij> how did i get here?
[04:25] <^Einstein> #ubuntu,
[04:25] <AgentBlond> kytix, I went partway through the installation...never made it past partitioning though, due to a minor error
[04:25] <ditch64> Hey i have a problem with my bluetooth, when i try to pair my phone it freezes the entire computer and the caps light flashes. i looked it up online but i could not find a solution, just more people with the same problem
[04:25] <DShepherd> lovemij, your here or there
[04:25] <^Einstein> idk how u got here.
[04:25] <^Einstein> lol
[04:26] <nickrud> lovemij, first time you started pidgin/irc stuff?
[04:26] <AgentBlond> ironically, i have to use Windows to fix that error...
[04:26] <KyTiX> Agentblood : not good lol.
[04:26] <lovemij> what is pidgin/irc
[04:26] <blizzardman1219> I was dual partitioning my system and by mistake i overwrote GRUB with a new GRUB, now Ubuntu isn't a boot option. How do i fix this?
[04:26] <nickrud> lovemij, we suck, everyone worth knowing ends up here ;)
[04:26] <nickrud> lovemij, the default im client in ubuntu
 you don't enable 720p its just a screen resolution of 1280x720, how are you connecting to your tv or device
[04:26] <endo602> dotblank: it wont allow me to set at 1280x720
[04:26] <n8tuser> ^Einstein--> are you sure? can you mount your iso and boot, lets see how far you get
[04:26] <endo602> dotblank: dvi
[04:26] <KyTiX> ^^ agree
[04:26] <Zebralover7>  :D
[04:27] <Shadow420> ditch64 did you install everything for your bluetooth
 have you tried with a vga cable?
[04:27] <Shadow420> !bluetooth
[04:27] <xcerca> anybody know how to use the sun-java plugin with firefox 64
[04:27] <lovemij> oh i see
[04:27] <lovemij> and why am i here
[04:27] <endo602> dotblank: i dont have one long enough
[04:27] <nickrud> xcerca, by installing a 32bit firefox
[04:27] <^Einstein> n8tuser, you can mount any disk image you want, although it'll be damned hard to boot from it unless you have it as a GRUB entry, haha!
[04:27] <itson> need some help with samba .. trying to figure out how to mount a shared drive. i can browse through it in nautillus but its being accessed though smb:// i want to mount it so i can open it in easytag or something
[04:27] <AgentBlond> so, kytix, any ideas?
[04:27] <xcerca> nickrud  ,  nice
[04:27] <^Einstein> anyways, I was offtopic. Continue lecturing.
[04:28] <KyTiX> AgentBlood--> 1 sec doing some reasearch
[04:28] <n8tuser> ^Einstein--> please stop giving bad advice if you dont understand the question at hand
[04:28] <Shadow420> hey nickrud
[04:28] <nickrud> xcerca, heh, when sun releases a 64bit version, I'll probably be dead and in the grave
[04:28] <AgentBlond> ok, thanks'
[04:28] <nickrud> Shadow420, hi
[04:28] <lovemij> i don't think it is possible to have an acidic base
[04:28] <Shadow420> been awhile
[04:28] <^Einstein> n8tuser, as I said, I was correcting an inaccuracy in your statement, albeit my own comment was irrelevant to helping the user.
[04:28] <AgentBlond> lovemij: unless you count water?
 When I connected my HC3000 the max resolution i got was 1280x720, however when i connected via vga I got 1280x768 (my projectors native resolution). Nvidia's driver overode my resolution with the one autodetected with the dvi cable
[04:28] <xcerca> nickrud ,  i hope you're wrong ...   i find it very strang that they don't have a 64 bit plugin though
[04:28] <nickrud> Shadow420, yeah, life called. I've been dropping in briefly now and again though
[04:29] <lovemij> no i disagree
[04:29] <n8tuser> ^Einstein--> which inaccuracy?
[04:29] <KyTiX> Agentblood -->> You need to go into the BIOS and set the CD to be the first device to boot, put the hard drive second.
[04:29] <KyTiX> Do you have Windows installed already? If so, boot from the CD, enter the recovery console (press R when it asks you whether you want to install windows etc.) When you're at the console, type:
[04:29] <KyTiX> fixmbr
[04:29] <KyTiX> and that will remove GRUB from your system.
[04:29] <KyTiX> If you don't have Windows installed, GRUB will be overwritten as part of the installation.
[04:29] <FloodBot3> KyTiX: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:29] <lovemij> it is standard procedure to type the nickname of the person you are addressing
[04:29] <nickrud> !ot | lovemij AgentBlond (but an interesting topic for #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:29] <endo602> what should i do
[04:29] <Shadow420> xcerca it's mainly sun.com hasn't made a 64 bit version
 It might be that the DVI is not reporting the resolution correctly or that the device does not support 720p
[04:30] <sloucher> xcerca - i installed icedtea for firefox64. It's a java plugin
[04:30] <ditch64> Hey i have a problem with my bluetooth, when i try to pair my phone it freezes the entire computer and the caps light flashes. i looked it up online but i could not find a solution, just more people with the same problem.. any takers? lol
[04:30] <histo> endo602: what are you talking aobut?
[04:30] <xcerca> sloucher , thats what i have now, how is that working for you ?
[04:30] <Shadow420> ditch64 | !bluetooth
[04:30] <endo602> histo: getting 720p working on my second monitor
[04:30] <AgentBlond> Thank you Kytix, I'll see how that works
[04:30] <ditch64> !bluetooth
[04:30] <AgentBlond> appreciate it
[04:30] <sloucher> xcerca - fine i guess. I like installing things but not actually using things
[04:31] <ditch64> lol thanks but you gotta do it right
[04:31] <histo> endo602: I didn't see where you asked your question just "what should i do"
[04:31] <^Einstein> n8tuser: AgentBlond--> without the livecd in the drive you can not boot the livecd <-- technically incorrect, but irrelevant to discussion, as I stated.
[04:31] <xcerca> sloucher , do you use msn for email by chance,  thats where i have problems...
[04:31] <n8tuser> endo602--> can you   sudo ddcprobe -?   and see if its on the list
[04:32] <ditch64> Shadow420: that has nothing on the issue that i have
[04:32] <nickrud> KyTiX, I don't use windows enough to recognize that (last used 98 regularly [preens]) is this also correct for vista?
[04:32] <sloucher> xcerca - MSN? what? No sorry
[04:32] <lovemij> so why ubuntu
[04:32] <endo602> n8tuser that isnt working
[04:32] <sloucher> lovemij - it's free
[04:32] <nickrud> lovemij, simplicity
[04:32] <n8tuser> endo602--> you dont have ddcprobe ?
[04:32] <blizzardman1219> does anyone here know how to edit my grub.conf file from ubuntu live?
[04:32] <endo602> i guess not
[04:33] <lovemij> makes sense
[04:33] <n8tuser> blizzardman1219--> mount the partition it resides on, and then edit the file
[04:33] <Shadow420> and if the install goes bad just dump and re-install
[04:33] <nickrud> blizzardman1219, mount your hard drive read-write
[04:33] <reeeh2000> lovmij: more secure
[04:33] <n8tuser> endo602--> you may have to install xresponse
[04:33] <sloucher> lovmij - it free
 thats odd I thought I used that command before but I don't have it either
[04:33] <Anacranom> blizzardman1219, yes
[04:33] <GeorgeAScott> hey, wanting to install ubuntu on an old g3. but i have no mac hdd and it doesnt want to boot from the drive.  not to familiar with macs and id like to know if theres a bios flash or some other trick to get this drive bootable?
[04:33] <nickrud> n8tuser, endo602 xresprobe
[04:34] <matux> ./join #ubuntu-ni
[04:34] <n8tuser> nickrud is correct, i mistyped
[04:34] <ditch64> Hey i have a problem with my bluetooth, when i try to pair my phone it freezes the entire computer and the caps light flashes... any takers? lol
[04:34] <Shadow420> the drive hs to be formated in HFS
[04:34] <dotblank> sudo apt-get install xresprobe sudo apt-get install xresprobe
[04:34] <lovemij> masterjames
[04:34] <lovemij> are you out there
[04:34] <^Einstein> ditch64: I don't know what this blinking reaction when freezing means, but it's been reported for any number of errors.
[04:34] <masterjames> lovemij
[04:35] <masterjames> hey
[04:35] <lovemij> hello
[04:35] <lovemij> i think we knew each other in a past liffe
[04:35] <masterjames> what is up
[04:35] <ditch64> ^Einstein: so basically its unfixable?
[04:35] <Shadow420> I have to go talk to you all later
[04:35] <blizzardman1219> Um... I tried to edit the grub.conf file but it says that my access is denied.
[04:35] <lovemij> bye shadow
[04:36] <GeorgeAScott> Shadow420 : can i use the install 6.06 cd install disc to format it to that filsystem?
[04:36] <reeeh2000> blizzardman1219: open with sudo gedit
[04:36] <nickrud> blizzardman1219, did you use sudo nano <pathtodrive>/boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[04:36] <^Einstein> ditch64: I believe it's unrecoverable, but I've only had it happen to me once; everything's fixable, eventually, but I have no idea on your particular problem.
[04:36] <reeeh2000> or nano
[04:36] <lovemij> maybe in the next
[04:36] <GeorgeAScott> i might have an 07 release cd somewhere
[04:36] <ditch64> ok thanks
[04:36] <nickrud> reeeh2000, gksu gedit (sudo can do bad things to config file permissions)
[04:36] <lovemij> goodbye
[04:37] <xcerca> nickrud , how can i just install firefox32 with the sun java plugin  ( it's crazy, on amd64 : firefox64 - flash works, java doesn't; firefox32 -flash: no sound sun-java works)   what is a boy to do
[04:37] <seronis> !ot | lovemij
[04:37] <nickrud> !flash64
[04:37] <reeeh2000> nickrud: o ok
[04:37] <nickrud> xcerca, ah, that factoid is still around. I've used it successfully in the past
[04:38] <blizzardman1219> When I open the grub.conf file with gedit it comes up blank...
[04:38] <nickrud> blizzardman1219, menu.lst . grub.conf is a redhatism
[04:39] <^Einstein> 23:36:56  < nickrud> reeeh2000, gksu gedit (sudo can do bad things to config file permissions) <-- explain, please? I use sudo for everything....
[04:39] <xcerca> however  http://dafizilla.wordpress.com/2008/11/07/java-plugin-with-prism-under-ubuntu-64-bit/
[04:39] <xcerca> i'm working on this one
[04:40] <ditch64> ^Einstein: soo should i even try to diagnose the issue, or is it just kinda useless? because if i cant pair it then i might aswell go back to windows
[04:40] <nickrud> ^Einstein, if you save a config option in gedit while using sudo, it will write to your home dir with root permissions, with obvious bad results. gksu ensures that /root is used as the home dir, preventing damage to your configs. you can do sudo env | sort and gksu env | sort to see the different environments
[04:40] <^Einstein> ditch64: I said it was unrecoverable, not unfixable. all that means is that it probably crashes your computer and you have to do a hard restart.
[04:41] <^Einstein> ditch64: try searching the forums for BlueTooth or your device name.
[04:41] <xcerca> ditch64  , what kind of phone and bluetooth ?
[04:42] <ditch64> ^Einstein: ya i know its unrecovable, but im just confuddled, theres going to be a reason and its probably a pretty universial problem, meaning a universial fix. someone has to have fixed it somehow
[04:42] <ditch64> xcerca: samsung SCH-u740
[04:42] <gigel2007> Why is my wireless connection so slow ? max 30 KB/s when I download ubuntu updates or apt-get ?
[04:42] <^Einstein> ditch64: exactly, so try searching both the Ubuntu Forums and the greater Web for your model name and/or "bluetooth"
[04:42] <xcerca> anything that works in windows can work in linux , it's the same hardware and the software is open source
[04:43] <xcerca> i kept that in mind while configuring my ir reciver,  it just takes some work
[04:43] <ditch64> xcerca: thats what i figured but ifi t works with windows, then why is it freezing here
[04:43] <Thunder> Hello
[04:43] <Thunder> every one.
[04:44] <gigel2007> Are the repositories supposed to download with max 30KB/s ?
[04:44] <cfffq> Thunder, good morning
[04:45] <xcerca> gigel2007 negative , i get ~ 500KB somtimes
[04:45] <gigel2007> xcerca: could it be because I have wireless ?
[04:45] <nickrud> gigel2007, some. us.archive is very slow for me, I set up a different one using system->admin->software sources
[04:45] <gigel2007> xcerca: Wireless connection restriction to 30KB/s ?
[04:45] <matthias__> gigel2007:  could be of to many reasons byt to tell i would like to need the details of your network and computer and ISP
[04:46] <xcerca> gigel2007 only if you have some kind of bandwidth limit,  i get more than that over wireless somtimes
[04:46] <Saga_> Hi -- I still can't get my DVD playback to work.  I have XPS M1530 -- It seems that there are some issues with it? <_<
[04:46] <matthias__> gigel2007:  try with another computer connected as you are and see if there is any differance and get back to me with the results....
[04:47] <blizzardman1219> OK so i got into my GRUB configuration file, but how would i edit it so that my ubuntu partition is an option? i accidentally erased it as an option when i installed a new OS
[04:47] <idea4gud> how do i nstall jboss on 7.1
[04:47] <idea4gud> i did bid from src
[04:47] <gigel2007> matthias__: I don't have ubuntu on other computers, so I can't test the speed of the repositories/updates
[04:47] <idea4gud> but i donno whether  i did correctly
[04:47] <gigel2007> nickrud: how can I choose what server ?
[04:48] <xcerca> blizzardman1219  root		(hd0,2)  ( or whatever the partiton is)
[04:48] <gigel2007> nickrud: Select best server ?
[04:48] <matthias__> gigel2007:  well try to download another program not related to ubuntu un your ubuntu and than on an windows pc with same wireless card and see if any diffferance ...
[04:48] <cfffq> gigel2007,  choose another is uselesss if you are in a odd network
[04:48] <cfffq> :)
[04:48] <nickrud> gigel2007, system->admin->software sources, see the dropdown tab . That may work, it depends on ping but the server itself may be limited. You have to try a few
[04:49] <blizzardman1219> xcerca: how do i know what the partition is?
[04:49] <ralf> hey guys
[04:49] <nickrud> gigel2007, if the repo is the only slow thing, it's bound to be the server end. Try some of the bandwidth testers first. google bandwidth test ;)
[04:49] <ralf> can anyone help me with my aspire one netbook? i am having wifi problems
[04:49] <cfffq> nickrud, , uselesss
[04:49] <gigel2007> nickrud: ok I'm doing that right now
[04:49] <cfffq> also
[04:50] <vosges> Hi!  Could someone help me with a first-time ubuntu install problem I am having?  I've searched a number of forums, and I cannot find an answer.  It's a weird problem where it seems to boot into some sort of readwrite mode that doesn't save anything when i restart again.
[04:50] <nickrud> cfffq, for absolute measure, true. relative, useful
[04:50] <DasEi> vosges: checked cd for defects ?
[04:50] <iNtERrUpT> ECes
[04:51] <vosges> DasEi: Yea... I'm using wubi
[04:51] <vosges> DasEi: I d/led the desktop iso from the site
[04:51] <ralf> can some one help me with an acer aspire one?
[04:51] <ECes> iNtERrUpT: hi
[04:51] <vosges> (ubuntu site)
[04:51] <DasEi> vosges: I'm no fan of wubi
[04:51] <gigel2007> How can I get flash player for mozilla for ubunutu? apt-get install flash ?
[04:51] <Leefmc> Question: Anyone know why a linux tutorial would choose "easy_install" over apt-get to install turbogears?
[04:51] <nickrud> cfffq, I'm a great fan of ruling out easy stuff (like a slow server feeding the repo) before digging into esoteric network configs
[04:51] <DasEi> vosges: haven't you got enough spae for a dualboot ?
[04:52] <DasEi> *space
[04:52] <Leefmc> gigel2007: Depends which flash player you want, "apt-cache search flash"
[04:52] <Flannel> vosges: I don't think wubi has a unwritable mode.  Are you sure you're not booting to the liveCD?
[04:52] <gigel2007> Leefmc: Adobe Flash player for stuff like you tube
[04:52] <Leefmc> gigel2007: non free is the one i usually use, but by no means is that the best
[04:52] <justizin> howdy folks, i just installed intrepid ibex into a xen vm, i have two questions: (a) how can i install with grub instead of lilo? (b) with the existing lilo, how can i catch it to boot single user mode?
[04:52] <Leefmc> gigel2007: Well theres an opensource alternative, etc. Try the non-free version
[04:53] <Flannel> justizin: GRUB is default.  It shouldn't have used lilo (unless thats a xen thing)
[04:53] <Flannel> justizin: But, if you go into the expert mode on the alternate CD, you can manually install the bootloader at install time (either lilo or grub)
[04:53] <justizin> Flannel: i thought that might be the case, though I certainly have some ubuntu vms at providers who manage the install for me, which use grub..
[04:53] <justizin> alternate CD, eh?
[04:54] <joebodo> gigel2007 try ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:54] <justizin> i saw that, just seemed inconvenient at the time because i didn't have a torrent client handy..
[04:54] <justizin> XenServer barely has wget for the root console ;d
[04:54] <Flannel> justizin: Yeah, and then hit f6 or whatever and boot to expert mode, or hit escape at one of the during-install prompts, and you'll go back to a big list (ordered) of install steps
[04:54] <justizin> thanks, Flannel, I'll give that a shot..
[04:55] <PupUser1e3567> Hello, wondering if anyone can help me. While my pc was booted to the Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD, I accidently did something in GParted to my ntfs harddrive so that it showed up as "unknown" and wouldn't boot. Now I am using TestDisk. Can you advise on how to recover the ntfs hard drive (which had Win XP) ?
[04:55] <justizin> you could try going back and resetting the partition type
[04:55] <DasEi> vosges: space ? (anyway, isn't wubi a single *.exe file ?)
[04:56] <justizin> Flannel: as for (b), any idea how to get into single user mode with the LILO I have? it starts booting about as soon as I get keyboard control at all
[04:57] <darkbishop> !info single user
[04:57] <Flannel> justizin: Nope, I haven't used lilo in... forever.
[04:57] <justizin> darkbishop: consider i'm talking about a system which doesn't behave like all the other ubuntu and debian systems i've used over the past ten years, a faq may not be what i'm looking for. ;)
[04:57] <PupUser1e3567> justizin, how exactly would i reset the partition, and in which program
[04:57] <justizin> Flannel: I'll live..
[04:58] <justizin> PupUser1e3567: go back to gparted or use fdisk in a rescue console or somesuch..
[04:58] <nickrud> justizin, lilo doesn't allow interrupting the boot process like grub does, you'd have to use a live cd to write a proper stanza
[04:58] <justizin> nickrud: it did in the 90s..
[04:58] <justizin> before there was GRUB, when we only had LILO, the "LILO" had a prompt.  think it must have delay 0 set..
[04:59] <darkbishop> justizin: it was for me..... i dont really know much about ubuntu... but trought everyone converstion i try to learn them all...
[04:59] <justizin> it doesn't have a fancy ui like grub, but you can usually type something like 'linux single'
[04:59] <justizin> darkbishop: right on, well thanks for trying to be helpful. :)
[04:59] <Viking667> huf thuru
[04:59] <ralf> does anyone here have experience with an aspire one?
[04:59] <Viking667> oh. Oops.
[05:00] <nickrud> justizin, a suprise to me. I used to keep a minimal install partition around just to support editing lilo prior to live cd's
[05:00] <justizin> ralf: not yet, but i'm eager to hear about successes..
[05:00] <NRaf> Hey guys, I've been using 8.10 since it came out (fresh install) and have pretty much configured it the way I like. Now I need to read my ext3 /home directory in Vista but apparantly 8.10 uses inodes of 256 bytes which seems to stop ext2ifs in it's tracks. Is there any way I can access my /home directory in Vista?
[05:00] <justizin> hm, it actually has a 20s delay, but i am not seeing that.. quite odd..
[05:00] <Viking667> I've got a Radeon with integrated bt848 tuner. So far, I've modprobed the bttv module, but I don't know what else to do so xawtv works... I don't (yet) have a /dev/video device.
[05:01] <ralf> justizin: i followed the instruction on the ubuntu help site and wifi did not work
[05:01] <justizin> link?
[05:01] <ralf> i tried both ndiswrapper and mad wifi
[05:01] <PupUser1e3567> justizin: ok, i have just tried both programs and all they allow me to do is reformat, whereby I would lose all data. There is no option for restore or reset. Please advise
[05:01] <Baatti> ok, I still need help.  I need to install a madwifi something to use my Atheros wireless driver
[05:01] <ralf> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne
[05:01] <Baatti> any ideas?
[05:01] <darkbishop> ralf:does ur wifi driver detected??
[05:01] <justizin> you didn't use fdisk, it doesn't reformat, and it DOES do what i said..
[05:02] <justizin> you're not getting out of this in the next five min, going to have to learn to read buttons before pushing them, and going to learn a lot about partitioning tools in gnu/linux. :/
[05:02] <ralf> darkbishop: it tried using an atheros driver that didnt work at all. the methods on the ubuntu site only allow me to scan but i cannot connect
[05:02] <justizin> you shouldn't have been putzing around in a partition editor of an OS you don't know from a live cd on your important drive.
[05:03] <cowsong> I need to connect to a VNC server. I have tsclient installed, but the VNC protocol is greyed out. What package am I missing?
[05:03] <justizin> but, many of us have done it.  this is when you get to learn about the "partition type" flag.  find the fdisk manual page in google..
[05:03] <justizin> linux fdisk, of course, dos fdisk is totally different..
[05:03] <Baatti> I know there is a way to use Atheros wireless drivers with Ubuntu....some people showed me how to do it before....
[05:04] <Baatti> Anyone have any ideas?
[05:04] <justizin> ralf: did you consider inspecting the working linux system that comes installed on the aspire one? :)
[05:04] <[T]ank1> i am trying to make a usb start disk. using the option in system>administration>create a usb start disk
[05:04] <[T]ank1> it seems to build it ok
[05:05] <[T]ank1> but cannot boot to it.
[05:05] <darkbishop> ralf:does the scanning produce any result?
[05:05] <ralf> i bought the one with xp installed but i hear linpus has wifi working so i might dual boot with tha
[05:05] <[T]ank1> have verified that bios is set correctly
[05:05] <[T]ank1> even tried marking it bootable with fdisk
[05:05] <ralf> darkbishop: it shows my network but it wont connect
[05:05] <[T]ank1> could anyone point me in the direction to get this working?
[05:05] <PupUser1e3567> justizin: running fdisk right now, all that it shows me are options to: toggle bootable flags?, edit bsd disklabels?, delete a partition, add new partition, and some other irrelevant options, which exactly am I supposed to choose to restore a previous partition?
[05:06] <justizin> you aren't restoring, you are editing the partition type..
[05:06] <EJ> [T]ank1: have you tried plugging the stick into different USB ports ?
[05:06] <justizin> read the documentation, don't launch destructive software and marvel at its' lack of intuitiveness.
[05:07] <genii> "t" to change type
[05:07] <justizin> sorry, bud, i would charge a customer a buttload to help with this.  if you want my help, you'd be best to show some initiative and remind me of myself when i was in your shoes. :)
[05:07] <EJ> [T]ank1: if your bios is set correctly and the USB Boot Stick was created correctly then it should be working
[05:07] <justizin> there ya go, been forever, but reading manpages is good.
[05:07] <justizin> you will probably also have to hit 'l' or something to list the available types.  i think there is an NTFS type..
[05:07] <[T]ank1> EJ: I will try that.
[05:07] <NRaf> So, any help on opening 8.10 ext3 in Vista?
[05:08] <roy_hobbs> Can the keyring be used to manually store username/passwords?
[05:08] <justizin> NRaf: there is a read-only ext3 reader for windows, i think, no guarantees it works on vista.  if you want round-trip shared data, you'll have to let linux talk windows, becuase it's the only one smart enough to talk the other's language. ;)
[05:09] <cube> !crawl
[05:09] <EJ> [T]ank1: sometimes the ports on the backside of the system are on different  ..... circuts than the font USB Ports (sry cant think of a different word other than circuts atm)
[05:09] <[T]ank1> i only have 2 on the side of my laptop.
[05:09] <genii> !ext3 | NRaf
[05:09] <MindVirus> When will we get Python 3.0 (or even 2.6)?
[05:09] <EJ> [T]ank1: oh i didnt realize you were using a laptop, i was invisioning a desktop
[05:10] <[T]ank1> so do you think that would still be the issue?
[05:10] <EJ> [T]ank1: no, but when you set up your bios did you make USB the 1st on the boot list ?
[05:10] <justizin> MindVirus: 3.0 is a question for #python ;)
[05:11] <MindVirus> justizin, I was pretty sure that it's out.
[05:11] <MindVirus> Nevermind.
[05:11] <[T]ank1> yes... I have also tried an option to boot to a temporary device and pointed it to my usb drive, which it lists by name "sandisk cruizer 2.0 gb"
[05:11] <MindVirus> When will 2.6 be released>
[05:11] <MindVirus> *released?
[05:11] <[T]ank1> or something close to that
[05:11] <justizin> 2.6 is released, but almost every distro stays behind.  most dependent software won't be updated for some time.
[05:11] <NRaf> What features are *not* supported?
[05:11] <NRaf>     * Inodes that are larger than 128 bytes are not supported.
[05:11] <MindVirus> I see.
[05:11] <EJ> [T]ank1: how did you make the boot stick ? by the guide on the web site ?
[05:12] <justizin> 2.5 is quite fine, and i still use 2.4 for a lot of things.
[05:12] <NRaf> fs-driver doesn't work with ext3 partitions with a 256 byte inode.
[05:12] <[T]ank1> EJ: just used the tool in the menu
[05:12] <NRaf> I don't really get it myself, but that changed in 8.10 and is what causes it to break.
[05:12] <[T]ank1> EJ: brb
[05:12] <[T]ank1> EJ: what guide on what website btw?
[05:12] <EUS-Mauro> Hello anyone tried ubuntu 8.04 on Hp pavilion Dv2000 laptop?
[05:12] <EJ> [T]ank1: hang on a sec, theres a  guide on the web site, i'll try to find it for you.
[05:13] <EJ> [T]ank1: check this page out : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[05:14] <nickrud> MindVirus, not until 2.6 appears in debian unstable
[05:14] <Crell> Hi all.  From CLI, how do I determine what package provides a given file?  I know there's a command for it, but I can never remember what it is. :-(
[05:14] <genii> NRaf: There is also: http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs     and: http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/
[05:14] <nickrud> Crell, dpkg -S /path/to/file for installed packages, you'd need to install apt-file to search for files in uninstalled packages
[05:15] <Crell> nickrud: Ah, thanks.  So the same command will work if I have apt-file installed?
[05:15] <nickrud> Crell, in that case, apt-file search
[05:15] <gigel2007> Is Wine in the repositories? How can I find out ?
[05:15] <Crell> nickrud: Thanks.
[05:15] <nickrud> Crell, apt-file has some other useful commands as well
[05:15] <gigel2007> nickrud: hey man, thanks for earlier, it was the Canadian server running 30 KB/s :|
[05:16] <nickrud> gigel2007, yw.
[05:16] <nickrud> gigel2007, and I'm glad thats all it was ;)
[05:16]  * Crell waits while apt-file rebuilds itself.
[05:17] <gigel2007> nickrud: Do you happen to know if WIne is in the repositories? I am afrait that if I do apt-get install wine that I will get a different application.
[05:17] <darkbishop> define repositories?????
[05:17] <DasEi>  gigel2007:wine is in the repos
[05:17] <nickrud> gigel2007, yes it is.
[05:17] <nickrud> !wine
[05:17] <gigel2007> nickrud: DasEi: so apt-get install wine ?
[05:17] <DasEi>  gigel2007:yup
[05:17] <nickrud> gigel2007, yep. Or check that link, you can usually get a useful deb of the very latest version
[05:18] <genii> gigel2007: It is in the repositories. However you may want to add the winehq repositories for a more current version
[05:18] <DasEi>  gigel2007:sudo ...
[05:18] <gigel2007> DasEi: thanks, by the way for future refference, how can I check if something is in the repositories ?
[05:18] <nickrud> gigel2007, it's one of the few things I ever mention getting from outside the ubuntu repos
[05:18] <edgy> Hi, smpatch gives me Exception in thread "Thread-13" java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero at com.sun.patchpro.plugins.sunos.pkg.............
[05:18] <PupUser1e3567> justizin: fyi, been messing around in testdisk and seemed to restore the boot sector partition
[05:18] <DasEi>  gigel2007:apt-cache search  blabla*
[05:19] <DasEi>  gigel2007:apt-cache search  wine*          for example
[05:19] <gigel2007> DasEi: woot thank you !
[05:19] <genii> gigel2007: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb    has details of how to add the main repository of the source as well
[05:19] <gigel2007> DasEi: yup I got it :)
[05:19] <nickrud> gigel2007, you should try using the synaptic package manager until you get a handle on how the repositories work. Fewer commands to learn, cuz it gui, and it has some pretty useful quirks
[05:19] <DasEi>  gigel2007:nice
[05:19] <Crell> Hm. "Can't get http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/Contents-i386.gz"
[05:20] <gigel2007> nickrud: yes, but I want to learn commands :)
[05:20] <genii> Crell: Try again leter perhaps
[05:20] <Crell> nickrud: Should I be worried about that? :-)
[05:20] <genii> *later
[05:20] <gigel2007> nickrud: GUI is too easy
[05:20] <nickrud> Crell, see genii
[05:20] <gigel2007> genii: thanks!
[05:20] <Crell> Swell.
[05:20] <nickrud> gigel2007, ah, but it will get you up to speed, so you can move on to the real package manager, aptitude ;)
[05:20] <fryguy> so, I just upgraded to 8.10 and now my sound (intel HD, internal speaker), is maxed out full blast (or muted), and my headphone jack no longer works.  Muting master or pcm mutes, nothing else in volume controls has any affect.  What can I do to get my old audio behavior back?
[05:20] <edgy> sorry wrong channel ;)
[05:21] <DasEi>  fryguy: install alsamixer
[05:21] <gigel2007> nickrud: oh ok, I'll look into it, ty!
[05:21] <Tyrath> does anyone know of a mp3 player for shell with controls?
[05:21] <iNtERrUpT> !wine
[05:21] <fryguy> DasEi: alsamixer is installed, as i mentioned, playing with the volume controls for master, pcm, and the other mixers has no effect (except muting and unmuting the internal speaker)
[05:22] <mindrape> Tyrath - mplayer works for me.
[05:22] <mindrape> err... wcontrols... nevermind.
[05:22] <ECes> !class
[05:22] <mindrape> lol
[05:22] <mindrape> !women
[05:22] <Tyrath> mindrape: I'll give it a shot thanks
[05:22] <wartalker> !windows
[05:23] <DasEi>  fryguy: in the toppanel of alsamixer, isyour s-card recoqnized correctly ?
[05:23] <fryguy> DasEi: yes, shows up correctly.  Like i said, sound comes out, just out of the internal speaker, and only full volume (or none at all)
[05:23] <Tyrath> mindrape: it appears I already have it, it works with arrow keys - that's awesome!
[05:23] <Tyrath> mindrape: are there ways to stop and pause and such?
[05:23] <mindrape> Tyrath yes but I dont recall
[05:23] <fryguy> DasEi: shows up just the same as it did in previous versions of ubuntu
[05:23] <mindrape> man mplayer
[05:24] <Tyrath> mindrape: well space is pause :)
[05:24] <DasEi>  fryguy: paste /var/log/syslog  file
[05:24] <DasEi> !paste
[05:24] <fryguy> DasEi: there's nothing in syslog related to audio problems
[05:24] <fryguy> DasEi: there's nothing in any logs related to audio problems
[05:24] <Tyrath> ok, now I was wondering if there was a pdf reader that worked in shell
[05:24] <Tyrath> fbgs doesn't work for me
[05:24] <Tyrath> - it stuffs up
[05:26] <Tyrath> would anyone know how I could uninstall a program I've installed into /usr/local ?
[05:26] <mike> .
[05:26] <fryguy> Tyrath: just delete the files
[05:26] <Tyrath> fryguy: is there not a better way?
[05:26] <Finalphase> What are some fun stuff that I can do with ubuntu now that I got the basics around it =) I wanna advance my knowledge =P
[05:26] <fryguy> Tyrath: usually not
[05:26] <Tyrath> fryguy: there's stuff installed in multiple directories
[05:26] <y0ul053> what'd you use to install it?
[05:26] <Hikefu> Tyrath, what/how did you install it?
[05:27] <Tyrath> y0ul053: make install
[05:27] <Tyrath> Hikefu: make install
[05:27] <fryguy> Tyrath: it's one of the reasons distributions use package managers, to handle the installation and uninstallation of programs and related files for you
[05:27] <Hikefu> do you have the folder -- sudo make uninstall
[05:27] <nickrud> Tyrath, if you're lucky, there's a make uninstall
[05:27] <y0ul053> yeah
[05:27] <DasEi>  fryguy: no furthwer ideas, hm install alsa-firmwareloaders, reboot or check /etc/modules for the right driver     <> figure right one out load with modprobe
[05:27] <Tyrath> nickrud: how would I use that?
[05:27] <nickrud> Tyrath, just like you used sudo make install
[05:27] <fryguy> DasEi: the correct driver is loaded, it's the same driver as was used in 8.04
[05:27] <Tyrath> ok
[05:28] <BigMike> ??? where is the file to edit to make my microphone work?
[05:28] <wiwin> hai apa kbar
[05:28] <nickrud> Tyrath, it's a recommended practice, creating the uninstall, but not all sources have it. Otherwise, manual deletion is your only other option
[05:28] <Tyrath> nickrud: say I deleated the build files. could I simply untar the tarball again, configure then run make uninstall?
[05:28] <DasEi>  fryguy: apps > progs > system >prferences > sound  >> alsa ?
[05:29] <fryguy> DasEi: i'm not running gnome anymore, what is the command to bring up that dialog
[05:29] <nickrud> Tyrath, should work, I think I've done it in the past (I haven't done much compilation in the last few years, and I'm old and suffer brainbit rot)
[05:29] <Inf_lappy> it doesn't help you _now_, but for another time, you might want to look into the program 'checkinstall'?
[05:29] <tripitakit> goodmornin from ita
[05:29]  * cowsong finally finds a post on the forum pointing him to xtightvncviewer
[05:29] <DasEi>  fryguy: apps > progs > system >prferences > sound  >> alsa ?  is for kde, too
[05:29] <jimmy01> Hello all!
[05:29] <fryguy> DasEi: i'm not running kde
[05:29] <Tyrath> nickrud: thanks
[05:29] <phece> is there any sort of application that can automatically turn off your computer?
[05:29] <Tyrath> i'm out. thanks folks for the help
[05:29] <fryguy> DasEi: as I asked, what is the command to bring up that dialog
[05:30] <tripitakit> phece, shutdown
[05:30] <BigMike> ok ty
[05:30] <binarymutant> anyone know if launchpad works in elinks?
[05:30] <phece> so, for instance, if you put a movie on and go to bed, it'll shut down after two hours rather than staying on all night
[05:30] <phece> tripitakit: ohhh, thank you. i hadn't read the man on that. thanks
[05:30] <msshams> my server space going to finished. tell me about paths that i can check it for unwanted files. e.g. /var/log or /tmp or ...
[05:30] <nickrud> sudo shutdown -h 24:00 for example
[05:31] <graydot> phece shouldn't 'mplayer moviename; shutdown now' work?
[05:31]  * nickrud wonders if 24:00 is an actual time
[05:31] <DasEi>  fryguy: there is one, I'd had to boot another machine to loook it up, which surface are you running?
[05:31] <tripitakit> phece, has a plenty of options too
[05:31] <Crell> Has anyone managed to assemble a Docbook-xsl toolchain on Ubuntu?  I've installed all the packages I think are relevant, but I still get an error that the SAXXIncluder class is missing.  It should be part of the resolver package, should it not?
[05:31] <turtle_> hi ya ya
[05:31] <fryguy> DasEi: surface?
[05:31] <Inf_lappy> 24:00 is not an actual time. 24h time goes from 00:00 to 23:59 (minutes only of course)
[05:31] <DasEi>  fryguy: gnome, kde
[05:32] <fryguy> DasEi: i'm not running either of those
[05:32] <DasEi>  fryguy:...but ?
[05:32] <fryguy> DasEi: I don't run a desktop environment
[05:32] <DasEi>  fryguy:headless, so ?alsamixergui ??
[05:32] <tripitakit> wonderin if somethin like sudo totem mymovie && shutdown -h now will work too
[05:33] <fryguy> DasEi: I'm not running headless.
[05:33] <Inf_lappy> tripitakit, totem doesn't shut down after stopping playback iirc
[05:33] <Inf_lappy> tripitakit, so no. that would not work
[05:33] <tripitakit> yes u'r right
[05:33] <fryguy> DasEi: I found the name of the command you are referring to.  I've changed things in here before, with no effect
[05:33] <nickrud> tripitakit, do the sudo shutdown first, then run whatever you want
[05:34] <DasEi>  fryguy:sth like dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base (don't refer to this, a hint)
[05:34] <nickrud> tripitakit, use +180m for 3 hours from now, or give it a time
[05:34] <fryguy> DasEi: what?
[05:34] <tripitakit> nickrud, ty :)
[05:34] <DasEi>  fryguy:no further ideas for now, then
[05:35] <BigMike> ??? I installed the KDE desktop into Ubuntu how come the cube will not work in KDE???
[05:35] <fryguy> ok, i'll move onto my next problem then, also related to 8.10 upgrade
[05:35] <fryguy> one moment
[05:35] <fryguy> BigMike: change from the KDE window manager (kwin) to compiz
[05:35] <nickrud> fryguy, sound troubleshooting sucks, doesn't it
[05:35] <BigMike> ok to I have to uninstall the other
[05:35] <fryguy> nickrud: troubleshooting all of the hardware issues that cropped up when I upgraded sucks
[05:35] <Inf_lappy> BigMike, no
[05:35] <fryguy> I just upgraded to 8.10 and my second monitor won't turn on anymore.  ATI Radeon 2400 XT graphics card, restored my existing xorg.conf that I backed up, with no effect.  I'm also stuck at 800x600 resolution.  What can I do?
[05:35] <tripitakit> BigMike, no need to uninstall kwin
[05:35] <BigMike> or where do you change to it I installed it
[05:35] <nickrud> fryguy, that's the reason I !clone and reinstall
[05:36] <DJCiP> hey - just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my macbook - noticed wifi wasn't working so i did System >  Administratoin > Hardware Drivers and enabled the Braodcom STA driver... yet still i see no wifi card... help?!
[05:36] <BigMike> oh ok I see will try that
[05:37] <turtle_> ]u better!
[05:37] <fryguy> nickrud: I'm getting ready to just roll back to my backup at this point.  I've got about a dozen problems since the upgrade, and nobody seems to be able to solve any of them
[05:38] <nickrud> BigMike, if you still have problems with compiz and kde, try asking in #kubuntu . Some knowledgeable people hang out there, kde specialists
[05:38] <nickrud> fryguy, I'd try !cloning and reinstalling. of course, pull in anything from /etc and /var and /usr/local you need, or pull from your backup
[05:38] <genii> BigMike: I recommend more #compiz-fusion
[05:39]  * nickrud smacks genii for giving better advice
[05:39] <fryguy> i'm about to just pull from backup.  I've been trying to diagnose this machine for about 12 hours now.  Pretty depressed so have experienced such a loss in functionality during the upgrade :(
[05:40] <genii> nickrud: Basically #kubuntu is dead right now, he'll get less frustrated there :)
[05:43] <sigmab3ta> hey guys. i'm thinknig of installing ubuntu on an EEEPC that has 2GB of space. is that enough
[05:44] <Finalphase> If I do vncviewer -fullscreen ubuntu:1 how do I exit fullscreen?
[05:44] <justizin> you can certainly install ubuntu in that much space, you'll have to keep it slim and may want to consider a flash card for storing pretty much anything that isn't the operating system. :)
[05:44] <justizin> sigmab3ta
[05:44] <cfffq> eeepc what uis that?
[05:44] <fryguy> cfffq: a computer manufacturered by asus
[05:44] <sigmab3ta> justizin: but you're sure it'll install correctly in 2GB right?
[05:45] <nickrud> sigmab3ta, it'll be a very tight fit for the standard install. Don't expect to add much
[05:45] <cfffq> aho_, the litle one
[05:45] <ryan_> maybe <f11> to exit full screen,  works with a lot of programs
[05:45] <sigmab3ta> i dont expect to add anything, just want to make sure i dont brick my friend's laptop
[05:45] <sigmab3ta> err
[05:45] <sigmab3ta> my friend's eeepc
[05:45] <[mbm]> I think it might actually run out of space with the standard install
[05:45] <Finalphase> Tried all my function keys ryan_ and no luck =P
[05:46] <ryan_> sorry, I'm still a newbie :(
[05:46] <sigmab3ta> i mean the ubuntu website says 4GB minimum
[05:46] <darkbishop> !eeepc
[05:46] <sigmab3ta> but my conky reports 2GB in use
[05:46] <fryguy> so nickrud, do you think I'm having enough hardware problems with 8.10 to justify rolling back to a previous release?
[05:47] <darkbishop> fryguy: how do i roll back to da old version.
[05:47] <fryguy> darkbishop: you restore your backup
[05:47] <darkbishop> hmmm
[05:47] <sigmab3ta> what do you think guys
[05:47] <nickrud> fryguy, that, or if you have a complex enough install the upgrade didn't go well. I've learned to turn off any 3d party repos, disable all my goodies, and then do a fresh install anyway. If I had time to troubleshoot stuff and file bugs I'd do it differently, but I don't
[05:47] <tripitakit> sigmab3ta, i'd better suggest a much smaller distro ...
[05:48] <ryan_> I'm having problems with dual monitors one day it works great and then it doesn't but I think it is my fanless geforce 7300 video card that I will be replacing soon
[05:48] <sigmab3ta> xubuntu says it'll fitin 1.5gb
[05:48] <fryguy> nickrud: i had a pretty much stock install, with no 3rd party repos, and no "goodies".  The machine sits in xmonad with a terminal and firefox 99% of the time
[05:49] <tripitakit> sigmab3ta, i think ubuntu il lighter in hw request but not so much in hd space required
[05:49] <nickrud> fryguy, 6 months makes it hard to test all upgrade paths. I can't and won't complain, cuz I'm part of the problem, not testing things and filing bugs
[05:49] <tripitakit> *xubuntu surry
[05:49] <fryguy> nickrud: just running into 3 big hardware problems, 1 interaction problem with virtualbox, flash stopped playing rtmp and rtmpe streams, and there's some other things
[05:49] <bojan> is there anyway to assign real player to stream video files from the internet instead of movie player?
[05:50] <go_beep_yourself> can windows mobo raid leave free space for a dual boot with linux to use?
[05:50] <fryguy> nickrud: seems like we should make forward progress, not break things that used to work :/
[05:50] <scottmotte> my server can't find package libx264-dev, and all my source repositories are uncommented. anyone know what the repository location is for this package
[05:50] <ryan_> I had to reinstall virtual box after some update from the automatic updater
[05:50] <tripitakit> sigmab3ta, maybe this is not the better place to say, have a look to DSL or puppy, just to evaluate the possibility
[05:51] <sigmab3ta> tripitakit: not sure i understand what your last comment meant
[05:51] <tripitakit> sigmab3ta, i mean xubuntu will fit in 2GB  but u'll still have little space left
[05:52] <Finalphase> Is it possible to access my VNCServer from a Windows computer, e.g. school?
[05:52] <jja89> Finalphase yea
[05:52] <fryguy> Finalphase: yes, that is the point of vnc
[05:52] <nhasian> Finalphase, yep
[05:52] <jja89> Finalphase setup java applet with vnc on a webserver
[05:52] <cfffq> _)
[05:53] <Finalphase> jja89: Wanna go into a private chat and give me a little quick tut, or a link on howto do that?
[05:53] <jja89> i've this and i'm trying to figure out why my tar.gz file which is 15mb gets truncated to 2.8mb, any idea what i'm doing wrong?  gpg --encrypt-files --batch --no-tty -r<EMAIL_ADDRESS>file
[05:53] <jja89> Finalephase:sure
[05:53] <fryguy> jja89: just download a vnc client and connect. it's that simple
[05:53] <EUS-Mauro> Hello anyone tried ubuntu 8.04 on Hp pavilion Dv2000 laptop?
[05:54] <tripitakit> Finalphase, u just need a win vnc client for that
[05:54] <paulfitzpatrick> is it unusual for a badly configured vhost file to completely stop apache2.2 from booting with no error message?
[05:54] <fryguy> paulfitzpatrick: no it's not unusual
[05:55] <ferronica> how to check Graphic drivers installed correctly and working properly???
[05:55] <osmosis> ugh...is audio/video playback broken ?
[05:55] <paulfitzpatrick> I had an included log file which didn't exist and it took me an hour to figure out that's why it wouldn't restart.  Any tips on checking vhosts for issues?
[05:55] <cfffq> jjjjjjjjj
[05:55] <Finalphase> How do I determine what port my VNC Server is going to run on?
[05:55] <cfffq> so many questions, so little bullets.....
[05:55] <jja89> Finalphase: http://www.realvnc.com/support/javavncviewer.html
[05:55] <fryguy> Finalphase: it's port 5900
[05:56] <tripitakit> Finalphase, unless u have changed form default :)
[05:56] <genii> Finalphase: 5900 + terminal number like :0 :1 etc so 5900 5901  etc. Also 5800 same thing
[05:56] <mindframe-> how can i modify the default entry in the network connections manager?  there is an entry under wired that can not be modified or deleted.
[05:56] <jimmy01> hey
[05:57] <tripitakit> mindframe-, add a new entry
[05:57] <Finalphase> I did vncvi vncserver -httpport #### -basehttpport #### -name >>>> would that change the default port?
[05:57] <subdolus> is it possible to split the screen up in console? I mean, without X?
[05:57] <subdolus> can screen do it?
[05:57] <jimmy01> Can anyone hear me? (first time IRC)
[05:57] <Flannel> subdolus: Check out gnu screen
[05:57] <fryguy> subdolus: screen can do it
[05:57] <subdolus> ahh ok cool
[05:57] <tripitakit> jimmy01, welcome
[05:58] <freetown> jimmy01, no, we cannot hear you :P
[05:58] <freetown> jimmy01, try shouting louder
[05:58] <tripitakit> lol
[05:58] <fryguy> subdolus: also dvtm (not sure if it's in repositories)
[05:58] <roshan> is there a way to view files changed/moved within the system? i believe someone played a prank on me and moved some of my files.
[05:59] <cfffq> roshan,  bad stusffff
[05:59] <tripitakit> roshan, :(
[05:59] <fryguy> roshan: for the future, look at something like mtree for tracking file changes on your system
[05:59] <fryguy> not sure if mtree is available in ubuntu or not
[05:59] <darkbishop> hello minasan... how do i check if my wireless nic support injection??
[05:59] <mindframe-> tripitakit, its not letting me add new wired connections
[05:59] <gigel2007> I can't see the contents of Documents and Settings on the C drive. How can I view the Windows Desktop for example ?
[05:59] <mindframe-> tripitakit, doesnt give an error or anything, just doesnt create the entry
[05:59] <darkbishop> its working on monitor mode///
[05:59] <kindofabuzz> is there anything i can save so if i wanted to reinstall ubuntu i wouldn't have to do a cat5 connection just to get wireless working again?
[05:59] <gigel2007> darkbishop: aireplay-ng --test
[06:00] <tripitakit> mindframe-, are u in intrepid ?
[06:00] <mindframe-> yes
[06:00] <tripitakit> mindframe-, and the ADD button doesnt work?
[06:01] <unstable> Netowrk manager, when I left click on it, says wireless disabled. When I right click on it, the wireless box is unchecked, and it is faded, so I can't click on it.
[06:01] <unstable> How can I enable wirelss?
[06:01] <mindframe-> tripitakit, yeah once i fill in the info and click ok it just doesnt do anything
[06:01] <unstable> I have intel wireless on a thinkpad X61, just formatted with Ibex last week.
[06:01] <gigel2007> unstable: is it enabled from your router ?
[06:01] <roshan> rofl nevermind i forgot that i renamed the folder to something less obvious
[06:01] <mindframe-> tripitakit, nevermind i unchecked the system setting option and it added
[06:02] <unstable> gigel2007: yes, if I reboot the machine into windows, everything works fine.
[06:02] <tripitakit> mindframe-, fine
[06:02] <mindframe-> tripitakit, i still cannot modify the default entry
[06:02] <gigel2007> unstable: do you have a computer icon near the clock on the tray like in windows ?
[06:02] <tripitakit> mindframe-, i think u cant, the auto one i mean
[06:02] <unstable> gigel2007: yes
[06:03] <mindframe-> well the bad thing is its a static ip address
[06:03] <jja89> :) why didn't someon tell me gpg has compression.... here i thought something was wrong! well, now i know.
[06:03] <Shaggedelic> gigel if its wireless there will be 4 bars and not the computer icon
[06:03] <gigel2007> unstable: if you click on it do you see connections?
[06:03] <mindframe-> tripitakit, i have to manually run dhclient every time i want to get an address on a dhcp network
[06:03] <tripitakit> mindframe-, u can use ifconfg to configure eth
[06:03] <darkbishop> gigel2007: what result should i expact from this.its show me something...
[06:03] <gigel2007> darkbishop: what ?
[06:04] <Shaggedelic> hi unstable is it atheros wireless on your computer?
[06:04] <darkbishop> gigel2007:"airplay-ng --test wlan0
[06:04] <kindofabuzz> is there anything i can save so if i wanted to reinstall ubuntu i wouldn't have to do a cat5 connection just to get wireless working again?
[06:04] <sparr> how can i change the dependencies of gcc-avr so that i can apt-get build-dep it?
[06:04] <unstable> gigel2007: in windows?
[06:05] <gigel2007> darkbishop: oh ok yes, if it says Sysfs injection support was not found then injection doesn't work
[06:05] <mindrape> change dependencies... lol
[06:05] <regeya> o_O
[06:05] <Shaggedelic> you can save the binaries for your wireless driver
[06:05] <gigel2007> unstable: in ubuntu
[06:05] <gigel2007> unstable: just click on the icon, connections should appear if you have any
[06:05] <darkbishop> gigel2007 oh i found 1 ap.. so this mean it support injection rite?
[06:05] <gigel2007> darkbishop: no
[06:05] <unstable> gigel2007: yea, it says wireless disabled when I click on it.
[06:05] <tripitakit> mindframe- i saw many problems with net-manager in interpid for wired connections (static ip mainly)
[06:05] <gigel2007> darkbishop: what did it say ?
[06:06] <unstable> Wireless Networks, next line says wireless disabled.
[06:06] <mindframe-> ill google
[06:06] <darkbishop> gigel2007: lemme paste it in pastebin
[06:06] <darkbishop> !pastebin
[06:06] <Shaggedelic> hey unstable can you tell us more about the wireless card on your machine?
[06:06] <advizor> hi all
[06:06] <sparr> whats the channel for ubuntu jaunty jackalope?
[06:06] <gigel2007> unstable: one second I will tell you
[06:06] <mindrape> #ubuntu+1
[06:07] <Shaggedelic> it seems your wireless driver is not configured
[06:07] <histo> kindofabuzz: what type of wifi card do you have?
[06:07] <advizor> Send all to an ass!
[06:07] <kindofabuzz> histo, broadcom
[06:07] <sparr> mindrape: doesnt exist for the first month after a release
[06:07] <tripitakit> sparr i gues it's really early for jaunty now :)
[06:07] <neuratix> hello, why does my joystick act as a mouse ?
[06:07] <tripitakit> oh i see
[06:08] <darkbishop> gigel2007:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/70811/        that what it say.
[06:09] <gigel2007> darkbishop: sudo airmon-ng start wlan0
[06:09] <gigel2007> darkbishop: then do the test again
[06:09] <gigel2007> unstable: I can't figure it out, try asking here again how do you enable your wireless
[06:10] <Shaggedelic> unstable: what laptop are you using?
[06:10] <gaintsura> how should I go about encrypting an already existing partition and make it only mount when my user is logged on?
[06:10] <osmosis> ugh...is audio/video playback broken ?
[06:11] <darkbishop> gigel2007:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/70813/        that what it say.
[06:11] <tripitakit> osmosis, why u asking?
[06:11] <unstable> Shaggedelic: Thinkpad X61
[06:11] <tripitakit> osmosis, mine is fine anyway
[06:11] <unstable> Intel wireless
[06:12] <unstable> Shaggedelic: it was working, I right click and disabled wireless or something I think, and I'm not able to right click and re-enable it now.
[06:12] <osmosis> tripitakit: I have 3 computers I upgraded to intrepid ... since yesterday, any kind of audio or video playback doesn't worky anymore.
[06:12] <jimmacdonald> woot! Ubuntu 8.10 in HD on a 52inch screen
[06:12] <gigel2007> darkbishop: one sec
[06:12] <gigel2007> darkbishop: what card and driver you have ?
[06:12] <tripitakit> osmosis, have installed codecs and flashplugin?
[06:13] <Shaggedelic> unstable : what do you see when you right click on the computer icon on the top right
[06:13] <irpapabear> hello all :D
[06:13] <ryan_> Anyone get virtual box to support a usb device?
[06:13] <osmosis> tripitakit: of course man. i already had all that, upgraded from hardy.  the video starts to play, and then stops after buffering for a couple seconds.
[06:13] <irpapabear> hasn't tried ryan
[06:13] <tripitakit> osmosis, ouch
[06:14] <osmosis> ryan_: I get an error msg after upgrading that now says my virtualbox can't run with kvm kernel modules installed
[06:14] <darkbishop> gigel2007:  broadcom 9431..... B43 driver... and got fwcutter as firmware....
[06:14] <tripitakit> osmosis, does vlc act the same?
[06:14] <unstable> Shaggedelic: Enable Networking is checked, enable wireless is not checked. And it's faded so if I click on it, notihng happens.
[06:14] <unstable> Connection Information, Edit Connections, About
[06:14] <irpapabear> you upgrade to 8.10 ryan
[06:14] <chris__> anyone know how i can re-order which OS is default in GRUB?
[06:14] <osmosis> tripitakit: i have no audio or video playback of any kind
[06:14] <unstable> chris__: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:14] <chris__> thanks
[06:15] <unstable> chris__: You'll see one of the first non-commented lines is "default 0", so 0 is the first listing on grub. 1 is the second listing, and so on.
[06:15] <irpapabear> brb
[06:15] <ryan_> yeah, but I still haven't configured 8.10 on this system.  Was busy putting 8.10 on a computer for my dad and configuring it for him
[06:15] <irpapabear> kk
[06:15] <tripitakit> osmosis, i cant figure out the reason, sorry :\
[06:16] <Shaggedelic> did you update your kernel by ay chance?
[06:16] <gigel2007> after Trying broadcast probe requests... it should say "Injection is working!" so my guess is that your card doesn't support it. Unfortunately I don't know your model. Try googling a driver or google and see if you can get injection to work.
[06:16] <Shaggedelic> unstable: did you update your kernel by ay chance?
[06:16] <kindofabuzz> anyone know anything about the gedit snippets?
[06:16] <irpapabear> suggest you reinstall vbox
[06:16] <tripitakit> kindofabuzz, no but it looks interesting :P
[06:16] <jimmy01> hey what is the name of the server edition channel?
[06:17] <kindofabuzz> tripitakit, doesn't seem like tab triggering works
[06:17] <unstable> Shaggedelic: I did whatever automatic update update-manager told me about. I believe there was a kernel upgrade yes. But I didn't do anything on my own, I'm using stock/default Ubuntu, with stock sources, and I just clicked ok when update-manager prompted me about new updates.
[06:17] <chris__> unstable: so i just cut the entry at the bottom and paste it to the top, and that's it?
[06:17] <kindofabuzz> is there a gedit channel? =)
[06:17] <unstable> chris__: you want to change the order it shows as? or change what boots first?
[06:18] <unstable> chris__: You could just leave the order, and change default 0, to default 3. or whatever.
[06:18] <Shaggedelic> unstable: okies and you had to compile madwifi for wireless driver support earlier eh?
[06:18] <irpapabear> sorrry...back
[06:18] <unstable> chris__: but yes, moving around those paragraphs/blocks will work.
[06:18] <jimmy01> Is this the place to ask question about the server edition of Ubuntu?
[06:18] <Flannel> jimmy01: This channel works yes, #ubuntu-server is another one, yes.
[06:18] <unstable> Shaggedelic: no, it's intel wireless. I didn't compile anything. It's a completely stock Ibex install, literally nothing has been tweaked/modified. I only did an update with upgrade-manager when prompted.
[06:19] <chris__> well i don't see any numbers like that
[06:19] <darkbishop> gigel2007:  okey thxxxx
[06:19] <tripitakit> kindofabuzz, i just looked at the plugin...
[06:19] <kindofabuzz> tripitakit, oh it works, you actually have to type the trigger out then hit tab =)
[06:19] <tripitakit> kindofabuzz, yep that is
[06:19] <chris__> the only one with a number is windows xp... it says chainloader =1
[06:19] <kindofabuzz> tripitakit, great plugin
[06:19] <chris__> chainloader+1 rather
[06:20] <Shaggedelic> you mean your wireless worked on its own on the stock install without any tweaking?
[06:20] <tripitakit> kindofabuzz, thanks for the suggestion i'll check it deeper
[06:21] <chris__> ok i'ma try this
[06:21] <tripitakit> ok, time to go workin now :) have a good time ppl
[06:21] <irpapabear> cya
[06:22] <unstable> k, time for sleep now. I think I'll downgrade the kernel tomorrow. Or see if Ubuntu releases yet another Ibex kernel that doesn't break wireless.
[06:22] <Shaggedelic> unstable: ok and no updates just before the thing went bust
[06:22] <unstable> right
[06:22] <Shaggedelic> you don't have to downgrade the kernel
[06:22] <irpapabear> bbl
[06:22] <unstable> It must have been the kernel, now that I think abou tit.
[06:22] <Shaggedelic> the old kernel will still be there
[06:22] <unstable> Shaggedelic: Then what to do?
[06:22] <darkbishop> gigel2007:  i think i didnt patch the kernal
[06:22] <Shaggedelic> just boot into the lowest ubuntu option on grub during startup
[06:23] <Shaggedelic> i think it should work
[06:23] <unstable> no, Ubuntu does some new thing, where the old kernel doesn't get listed anymore.
[06:23] <Shaggedelic> you see the different kernel options on bootup right?
[06:23] <unstable> And it's removed after reboot or something
[06:24] <unstable> Shaggedelic: There is only one kernel, and there are three options. The one kernel with standard arguments, the same kernel with single user mode, and memtest.
[06:24] <Shaggedelic> no unstable the old kernel would never be removed unless you specifically told it to
[06:24] <Peddy> I get this error when I try to install some software from source: libtool: link: cannot find the library `../libltdl/libltdlc.la'  Can anyone please help me?
[06:24] <unstable> Shaggedelic: Well I'm doing dpkg -al|grep linux-image, and there is only one kernel listed.
[06:24] <unstable> linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic
[06:24]  * rww is away: away
[06:24] <Shaggedelic> unstable: then you probably have one kernel
[06:24] <Shaggedelic> :)
[06:25] <unstable> That is the only kernel on my system.
[06:25] <Shaggedelic> unstable: can you tell me the kernel version?
[06:25] <unstable> That is from the ubuntu update, that isn't stock on ibex.
[06:25] <unstable> 2.6.27-7-generic
[06:25] <seravitae> hi, i've made a mirror raid array under ubuntu and put data onto it (supposedly).. are there any paranoid ways to check it is in fact being mirrored?
[06:25] <epoxy_> seravitae, alternate taking drives out?
[06:26] <seravitae> won't that just make the system complain?
[06:26] <seravitae> this is software raid under ubuntu
[06:26] <Shaggedelic> thats an upgrade arite
[06:26] <epoxy_> seravitae, wouldn't you rather know if it WORKS?
[06:26] <epoxy_> that is the point.
[06:26] <DJCiP> i have a fujitsu lifebook T5010 .... trying to get the wacom driver working cuz its a tablet pc...
[06:26] <seravitae> epoxy_ - uh, yes
[06:26] <unstable> Shaggedelic: yea, hardy wasn't like this. But ibex does something strange, i dunno what. Ibex is cleaning up after a kernel upgrade/reboot.
[06:26] <unstable> Or it's doing something, I have no idea what.
[06:26] <Ademan> whee, it's impossibel to install quanta without ripping out kde4 components in intrepid
[06:27] <PeanutScape> Does anyone know why i cant hear multiple sounds on ubuntu?
[06:27] <seravitae> epoxy_ - i was thinking more like copy a big file to the raid device and watch the hard drive load on both hdds simultaneously and see if they match?
[06:27] <unstable> whatever, like I said, I'll install the old kernel tomorrow, and remove the new one.
[06:27] <Shaggedelic> unstable: check grub.conf and try booting to the old kernel
[06:27] <Ademan> unstable: there's that thing dell created where kernel modules are automatically built for restricted drivers....
[06:27] <DJCiP> i installed the Libwacom module... do modprobe wacom - and all i get with dmesg | grep wacom is the usb driver working - but no screen appears to be there - help?!
[06:27] <metrick> I would like to know if their is an online installer, similar to wubi for ubuntu: I have ubuntu 8.10, is their a way i can install fedora core 9 without burning cds? i cant do that and i dont have floppies
[06:27] <unstable> Shaggedelic: grub.conf? you mean /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[06:27] <Shaggedelic> I am not sure about this but the old kernel is prolly just removed from the boot loader
[06:27] <epoxy_> seravitae, can you see the HDD activity lights?  they should blink in tandem.
[06:27] <unstable> Shaggedelic: If the package isn't listed in dpkg -al, it doesn't exist.
[06:27] <seravitae> epoxy_ - i dont have a led per hdd
[06:28] <unstable> Shaggedelic: ls /boot, doesn't show any other kernels. there is only one. It's gone.
[06:28] <seravitae> i'd need to see it in the system, and i can't find how to see both hdds activity in system monitor/ubuntu
[06:28] <Shaggedelic> yeah sorry
[06:28] <Shaggedelic> try adding a line
[06:28] <unstable> adding a line for what?
[06:28] <gigel2007> darkbishop: ya, good luck man!
[06:29] <Shaggedelic> sorry please try adding a line for 2.6.27-3 kernel
[06:29] <Shaggedelic> see i u still got it
[06:29] <Finalphase> How can I run all my commands in SUDO so I don't have to type it at teh beginning of everything
[06:29] <seravitae> finalbeta_ - sudo su
[06:29] <Shaggedelic> ohh ok u tried it eh?
[06:29] <Shaggedelic> sorry haven't played with ibex much
[06:30] <Flannel> Finalphase: `sudo -i` will give you a root prompt.  You shoudl close it (exit) once you're done doing administrative stuff.
[06:30] <Shaggedelic> my driver sometimes goes bust on ungrading the kernel so i just recompile it
[06:30] <nachi_> hey. i got a dyndns account with host like myhost.dyndns.org, i got a dedicated server, and i want to make that all requests from the subdomain (bla.mydedicatedhost.com) will go to dyndns account... is that possible? mod rewrite will only slove it for web.. i need for every port
[06:30] <Shaggedelic> don't have native support myself.
[06:31] <DJCiP> rut ro
[06:31] <whymarkwh> hi there i am new to linux and need to setup a small mail server for myself, dhcp server, and i dont know where to start, well i did start downloading ubunto server 7.10 was this wise?
[06:32] <epoxy_> whymarkwh, somewhat.  download the latest version though.  8.10 or something.
[06:33] <genii> whymarkwh: 8.04 likely better choice, but you have right idea of the server install cd
[06:33] <Bruners> how can i change what sound card/driver Firefox is to use? Ubuntu 8.10
[06:33] <epoxy_> whymarkwh, dhcp should be easy (google it.. it's straight forward).  as far as the mail server, be very very very careful.
[06:33] <Flannel> whymarkwh: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html  and yes, I agre that 8.04 is a good choice
[06:33] <whymarkwh> well what i need to know is this server edition text based or does it have a desktop interface, dare i say it like windows?
[06:34]  * epoxy_ gasps
[06:34] <genii> whymarkwh: test
[06:34] <epoxy_> depends on how you like it, i would imagine.
[06:34] <genii> whymarkwh: text   rather
[06:34] <Flannel> whymarkwh: If you wanted a GUI, just install the desktop edition.
[06:34] <ronhalfdanr> anyone know VMware and samba?
[06:35] <Flannel> whymarkwh: Linux doesn't differentiate between "Server" and "Desktop", they're just programs.  Server type programs run equally well on either one.
[06:35] <freetown> whymarkwh, i hope you are not looking for something exchange like...
[06:35] <epoxy_> zimbra.
[06:35] <genii> whymarkwh: Most servers are to be just for that and not a personal box with a desktop. Then you use another box with nice gui to use the servers web based setups for various things, or ssh into it
[06:35] <Bodizzle> Anyone know about Dual Booting, on a Toshiba laptop, and any known issues?
[06:35] <BadRobot> what is the ubuntu room for eeepc?
[06:36] <ferfactor> any one here can help me with Blogger
[06:36] <laobing> why?
[06:36] <epoxy_> badfish69, i would imaging this one.
[06:36] <epoxy_> 'er
[06:36] <epoxy_> wrong name.
[06:36] <laobing> why?
[06:36] <epoxy_> laobing, why do you ask
[06:37] <Bodizzle> If anyone has setup a Dual Boot, on a Toshiba laptop. Pleace pm me
[06:37] <Bodizzle> Please*
[06:37] <oorjha> histo, even if I install adobe-flashplugin, gtalk gadget asks me to install flash 9 or higher, why so?
[06:37] <laobing> 我是个新手
[06:37] <oorjha> sorry, to all
[06:37] <epoxy_> Bodizzle, why?  this is the forum.  it doesnt really matter what laptop you have.
[06:37] <whymarkwh> lol no i worked with sendmail before on linux text.
[06:37] <laobing> sorry
[06:38] <Bodizzle> Well, i read there was issues with the NIC, and Audio issues.
[06:38] <epoxy_> Bodizzle, try out a live CD of some sort.  test it there so you dont have to install
[06:38] <whymarkwh> is there 2 different distro server or desktop or do they come on the cd i am downloading, but have to choose
[06:38] <whymarkwh> ?
[06:38] <epoxy_> whymarkwh, cancel that download and get the latest edition :)
[06:38] <epoxy_> save yourself some trouble
[06:39] <Flannel> whymarkwh: Each CD is different, there's a Desktop Cd, an Alternate CD, and a Server CD.  You probably want the alternate CD, which will give you the most flexibility.  Also, you'll want to grab 8.04
[06:39] <laobing> 有会中文的吗？我想请教个问题
[06:39] <whymarkwh> done
[06:39] <Bodizzle> LiveCD?  How do i obtain/create one of these?
[06:39] <RinTinTigger> just download Bodizzle
[06:40] <epoxy_> Bodizzle, ubuntu.com download section would be a start.
[06:40] <genii> !cn | laobing
[06:40] <genii> laobing: 英語只這裡
[06:40] <laobing> thank you

[06:41] <jimclassic> I need some assitance regarding my Ubuntu,is anybody there to help me?
[06:41] <genii> epoxy_: "English only here"  basically
[06:41] <RinTinTigger> jimclassic whatz ur problem?
[06:41] <Shaggedelic> sure jimclassic whts the problem?
[06:41] <epoxy_> genii, just curious, but how do you go about typing that?  just comes up with keys like normal?
[06:42] <Bodizzle> Okay, thanks very much guys
[06:42] <ronhalfdanr> anyone here know vmware and samba?
[06:42] <epoxy_> Bodizzle good luck!
[06:42] <RinTinTigger> RONHALFDANR YES
[06:42] <epoxy_> ronhalfdanr, we go way back
[06:42] <genii> epoxy_: No. I cheat. http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt
[06:42] <epoxy_> OMG CAPS

[06:43] <aaron> hi everyone I was wondering is there a better alternative than using Pidgin instant messenger on ubuntu?
[06:43] <ronhalfdanr> now the xp virtual machine can't map the drive
[06:43] <epoxy_> aaron, why would you need anything moire? :)
[06:43] <genii> bmkool: PErhaps
[06:43] <nickrud> aaron, for im, pidgin is about it afaik, xchat is much better for irc
[06:43] <jimclassic> Whenever I am trying to open the Synaptic Pacakge manager i am getting the Error "E: dpkg was interrupted,you must maually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem"
[06:44] <aaron> I love xchat ^^ its just pidgin is kinda dull heh
[06:44] <epoxy_> jimclassic, you try sudo and that command?
[06:44] <epoxy_> from command line
[06:44] <jimclassic> nope
[06:44] <epoxy_> heh.
[06:44] <nickrud> jimclassic, run  sudo dpkg --configure -a  in a terminal. Your package database is in an unstable state
[06:44] <epoxy_> well do.
[06:44] <ronhalfdanr> everything I know how to check for the network on both sides look sfine
[06:44] <jimclassic> i I am new to ubuntu
[06:44] <epoxy_> its all good
[06:44] <jimclassic> Cud you assit me to use that sudo?
[06:45] <epoxy_> jimclassic, open up a terminal
[06:45] <epoxy_> can you do that?
[06:45] <nickrud> jimclassic, then you're asking in the right place. You can just type what I gave you, exactly.
[06:45] <epoxy_> start...run...
[06:45] <epoxy_> jk jk
[06:45] <EUS-Mauro> whymarkwh, different releases
[06:45] <nickrud> jimclassic, applications->accessories->terminal to find a terminal ;)
[06:45] <ronhalfdanr> epoxy_:  any ideas why today the fileshare drive won't map?
[06:46] <jimclassic> i got the message command not found
[06:46] <epoxy_> ronhalfdanr, nah, can't help ya there.  dont have any vmware exp.  try #vmware  ?
[06:46] <bmkool> genii: 怎么啦
[06:46] <ronhalfdanr> I did epoxy, the channel has been dead all day
[06:47] <genii> bmkool: Please, stop
[06:47] <ronhalfdanr> 192 users and no typing
[06:47] <nickrud> jimclassic, probably a typo, copy and paste this into the terminal:     sudo dpkg --configure -a

[06:47] <cfffq> ronhalfdanr,  fusion is the same?
[06:47] <epoxy_> other servers
[06:47]  * genii ponders if "dry" in chinese has some odd meaning
[06:47] <ronhalfdanr> fusion? huh?
[06:48] <epoxy_> you know
[06:48] <nickrud> the chinese do not have a wet sense of humor, I do believe
[06:48] <epoxy_> the reactors
[06:48] <Bodizzle> Anyone know if you are able to create a liveCD, but able to say put it on a thumbdrive?
[06:48] <matthudson> anyone here had experience with netatalk and printers?
[06:48] <epoxy_> Bodizzle, you can.
[06:48] <epoxy_> but usually need a running linux system i do beleive.
[06:49] <epoxy_> Bodizzle, why not just use a livecd for your test run?
[06:49] <ronhalfdanr> cfffq: what is fusion?
[06:49] <nickrud> I'm gonna buy a decent sized thumb drive and try system->admin->create a startup usb drive
[06:49] <bmkool> 好困啊
[06:49] <genii> Bodizzle: pendrivelinux  site has many useful things on the subject
