[15:42] <judgepg> Here is my fstab line: /dev/sdb1 /media/HDD vfat defaults,user,dmask=027,fmask=137 0 0
[15:42] <SammyF> RussM: http://pastebin.com/m7114ee4c
[15:43] <Marfi> judgepg, sudo chmod 777 /media/HDD
[15:43] <SammyF> sigjuice: nope. only myself
[15:43] <Noodels> Why do I not get this screen on step 4 of 7 during install? http://platonic.techfiz.info/2008/10/31/gparted-on-ubuntu-810-sleek-and-powerful/ I get the choice to use entire disk, largest contiguous free space or manual.
[15:43] <SammyF> sigjuice: everything else is "host not reachable" (thus the static IP btw. can't reach teh router for DHCP)
[15:43] <sigjuice> SammyF: then you are not connected to your network at all.
[15:43] <gajop> is there a way to configure a static ip in interpid, using the gnome network manager that comes with the installation, instead of changing /etc/resolve.conf and /etc/network/interfaces , even though I fixed it here, I'd like to be able to do it through GUI in the future
[15:44] <judgepg> Marfi, that will not work
[15:44] <SammyF> sigjuice: actually I am
[15:44] <SammyF> sigjuice: I rebooted from the USB stick, and I had a connection THERE
[15:44] <Marfi> judgepg, unmount it, chmod the folder, then remount it
[15:44] <Marfi> judgepg, them make a directory inside of it, chmod the directory, and write to that
[15:44] <judgepg> Marfi, I did that, but when you mount the partition, it changes it
[15:44] <notwist> Noodels: have you googled the problem?
[15:44] <quizme> how do you install the JVM ?
[15:44] <Seronis> how do i totally dismantal mousekeys?  it keeps turning on randomly and i loathe having to waste my time to turn it off manually when it shouldnt ever activate in the first place (and NO, im NOT using the key combo, it does this usually when i've used vnc recently)
[15:44] <judgepg> Marfi, I think the issue is in the fstab line of the mount
[15:45] <SammyF> sigjuice: it looks like soemthing in the xubuntu update (clean install!) screwed up my network settings :/
[15:45] <judgepg> Marfi, so if I was to umount the partition, it's chmodded to 777.  When I mount the partition, its 750
[15:45] <chawarma> With "Ubuntu USB desktop image creator" we can create a permanent live USB ?
[15:46] <SammyF> sigjuice: and just for the fun of it, I tried putting a "ubuntu" (not xubuntu) usb install to reinstall everything and that crashed
[15:46] <sigjuice> SammyF: so you are running off your xubuntu install and you can't get on the network?
[15:46] <RussM> SammyF: Sorry, I got pulled away (it IS Valentine's Day, I thought it best to answer the call... :) )
[15:47] <zicho> mååp
[15:47] <judgepg> Marfi, I think I need to reboot, maybe that will help.  Either there's an issue with the fstab line, or a reboot is required.  If all else fails, I'll try pmount
[15:47] <SammyF> sigjuice: no. I'm on my other comp right now. I installed xubuntu on an Acer Aspire ONe yesterday (thus the need for the USB install), worked perfectly, I did the updates tonight, this morning, after reboot, my wired network was gone
[15:47] <SammyF> RussM: np :)
[15:47] <Marfi> judgepg, sounds good
[15:48] <uselessalways> I get "Unhandled error, aborting" every time I try to burn a data dvd, regardless of the data or write speed. How do I fix this?
[15:48] <charles> hiya, two quick questions regarding using window managers/desktop environments other than the default one: if I use something such as Ion, what can I use to connect to wireless on startup? also, how can I have the "nice" Fx widgets without having to run xfdesktop or nautilus? any suggestions are appreciated :)
[15:48] <SammyF> sigjuice: so I rebooted from the USB stick just to check if I had ANY connection, and it worked.
[15:48] <keystr0k> What's the best solution for recording screencasts in Ubuntu?
[15:49] <uselessalways> keystr0k: xvidcap is popular and established for that
[15:49] <jrib> !screencast | keystr0k
[15:49] <philipp_> what is the replacement package for "localeconf"? i can't find it anymore on Ubuntu Hardy and later....
[15:51] <RussM> SammyF: Routes looked good, assuming your interfaces is eth0, and your router is <IP_ADDRESS>. Looks like I have to run, sorry I can't be more help. Good luck!
[15:51] <sigjuice> SammyF: what does ifconfig say?
[15:52] <SammyF> sigjuice: I'll try to copy that to pastebin .. might take a few mn as I have to type it in :/
[15:52] <mib_8i0ql8> IntuitiveNipple: I tried Mplayer, when it's configured to use alsa in it's preferences, it has the same problem, and when it's using PulseAudio, it works fine. now I want to configure Totem to use PulseAudio. I tried form gstreamer-properties but it gives me error when I select PulseAudio beside Alsa. How can I do that?
[15:52] <keystr0k> jrib, thank you... :)
[15:52] <IntuitiveNipple> SammyF: copy into a file and transfer with a USB stick :)
[15:52] <keystr0k> uselessalways, thank you too
[15:52] <SammyF> IntuitiveNipple: you're a genius ;)
[15:52] <sigjuice> IntuitiveNipple: good old sneakernet :)
[15:52] <IntuitiveNipple> mib_8i0ql8: not entirely sure
[15:53] <IntuitiveNipple> SammyF: well, ya know...... *preens self*
[15:53] <Macer> ugh. my artigo won't get here til thursday
[15:53] <Macer> what crap
[15:53] <harlemdavvey> guys my desktop stopped working
[15:53] <invisibleninja> Microphone not wokinf in Intrepid Ibex. Is it a known problem?
[15:53] <Macer> this is what i get for ups grounding it
[15:53] <harlemdavvey> what can i do..??
[15:54] <quizme> !code | quizme
[15:55] <ChickenGirl> can anyone help me set up my mic or point me to a howto? I just can't seem to get it to work
[15:55] <SammyF> sigjuice: IntuitiveNipple: http://pastebin.com/m1ab6d59e
[15:55] <codazoda> If I put something in /etc/pm/suspend.d, it will execute when I suspend the computer.  But, there doesn't seem to be a similar wakeup script there.  Does anyone know what the wakeup script should be called?
[15:55] <letalis> ChickenGirl: have any idea what the sound chipset is?
[15:55] <fwaokda> I am trying to turn off my touchpad's click (i want to only be able to click by the actual button not the touchpad) but i dont see the option in the mouse settings... can someone help?
[15:55] <ChickenGirl> no, how do I check?
[15:55] <ociugi> i notice from the packages name that have a "common" word suffix. what is a "common" means?
[15:55] <harlemdavvey> i'm unable to click on my desktop.. files are not going to be selected and launched.. it is like if the desktop is "freezed" ... what can i do to solve the problem? is there any way to solve the situation for exemple is it possible to "restart" the desktop functionality? :)
[15:55] <codazoda> Sorry, it's /etc/pm.d/sleep.d
[15:56] <letalis> type lspci -v | less in a terminal
[15:56] <IntuitiveNipple> SammyF: Now do "ip route show"
[15:56] <quizme> how can i tell if i'm using KDE or GNOME ?  I've got the cube thingy installed
[15:56] <codazoda> Looking for something like /etc/pm/wake.d
[15:56] <sugi> I need to install Diablo 2 LOD.  I have instaled the first Diablo 2 and now I need to instal LOD exp, but when I pop the cd in.  Ubuntu doesn't see anything on the cd.  I tried coping the whole cd to a folder within Windows (I'm at a lan party right now :p) and that doesn't work because it has copy right protection and says I need to input the cd.  What should I do?
[15:56] <letalis> itll show everything on the pci bus, but usually itll say something about it being an audio controller or sound something blah blah blah :)
[15:56] <ChickenGirl> letalis it has listings for RAM, ISA, SMBus, and RAM again
[15:57] <harlemdavvey> pleeeeeeasee.. i'm unable to click on my desktop.. files are not going to be selected and launched.. it is like if the desktop is "freezed" ... what can i do to solve the problem? is there any way to solve the situation for exemple is it possible to "restart" the desktop functionality?
[15:57] <letalis> is it a laptop or desktop?
[15:57] <ChickenGirl> desktop
[15:57] <ottoshmidt> why wouldn't my network work on ubuntu when it does on windows (dual boot)? can't even reach LAN... :(
[15:58] <letalis> okay. first question is if the machine had windows on it before do you know whether or not it worked in windows?
[15:58] <ChickenGirl> the mic?
[15:58] <SammyF> IntuitiveNipple: sigjuice! http://pastebin.com/m71599b55
[15:58] <SammyF> IntuitiveNipple: that was ip route show
[15:58] <ChickenGirl> I dual-boot and it works fine in Windows
[15:58] <ottoshmidt> letalis, yes it had wind before
[15:58] <letalis> is it an integrated mic? ie. not one you plug into it.
[15:59] <ChickenGirl> it's a headphone/mic combo, plugs into mic and headphone jacks (not usb)
[15:59] <IntuitiveNipple> SammyF: Looks okay so far... now... how is the PC connected physically? a cat-5 cable to a router or switch?
[15:59] <letalis> okay.
[15:59] <harlemdavvey> i'm unable to click on my desktop.. files are not going to be selected and launched.. it is like if the desktop is "freezed" ... what can i do to solve the problem? is there any way to solve the situation for exemple is it possible to "restart" the desktop functionality?
[15:59] <invisibleninja> letalis: now, it's an external mic
[15:59] <letalis> are you using gnome as your primary desktop?
[15:59] <ChickenGirl> I'm using xfce
[16:00] <ottoshmidt> harlemdavvey, yes u need to restart file manager
[16:00] <invisibleninja> duh, ChickenGirl you too having some problem with the mic?
[16:00] <IntuitiveNipple> SammyF: Also, is the router IP address <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[16:00] <ChickenGirl> invisibleninja yes :p
[16:00] <letalis> if so what you will need to do is right click on the speaker icon on near the tray (assuming your desktop is still a default layout)
[16:00] <harlemdavvey> ottoshmidt: how can i do?
[16:00] <invisibleninja> we seem to have the same problem
[16:00] <letalis> then click oen volume control
[16:00] <SammyF> IntuitiveNipple: the router's address is <IP_ADDRESS>, and the cable goes to a switch first
[16:00] <letalis> open rather
[16:01] <Seronis> how do i totally dismantal mousekeys?  it keeps turning on randomly and i loathe having to waste my time to turn it off manually when it shouldnt ever activate in the first place (and NO, im NOT using the key combo, it does this usually when i've used vnc recently)
[16:01] <ChickenGirl> I have the xfce volume applet thing and I've tried playing around with the settings but it's not working
[16:01] <freegoo> hello all
[16:01] <letalis> by default, alsa mutes almost everything but the essentials
[16:01] <ottoshmidt> harlemdavvey, compiz --replace
[16:01] <ChickenGirl> or rather the mic IS working, the system can record from it, but I can't figure out what I need to adjust to get it to a sensible/normal/non weird sounding volume level
[16:01] <letalis> yep
[16:01] <harlemdavvey> o m g
[16:01] <letalis> need to unmute the recording channels
[16:02] <sammy> if I have the keyring for a repository installed, why does apt-get tell me a package can't be authenticated?
[16:02] <letalis> :)
[16:02] <harlemdavvey> where the hell did my files go??????
[16:02] <invisibleninja> ChickenGirl: some people are suggesting the culprit is PulseAudio. http://www.econowics.com/news-from-the-net/170/skype-problem-with-audio-playback-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex/
[16:02] <letalis> which is what i was getting to
[16:02] <letalis> :)
[16:02] <Imaginativeone> is there commercial software for making networks?
[16:02] <invisibleninja> I thought I'd ask some people's opinion before replacing PulseAudio
[16:02] <IntuitiveNipple> SammyF: Humour me... try swapping cables with one know to work, and also, try a different port on the switch
[16:02] <Imaginativeone> this free paradigm is for the birds
[16:03] <sugi> how do i mount a ISO file?
[16:03] <IntuitiveNipple> Imaginativeone: You can pay me to create you a network if you insist :D
[16:03] <Imaginativeone> name your price
[16:03] <moneybags1234> hey i did a lot of about:config tweaks in firefox 3 in ubuntu on one of my hdd's i was wondering if there was a way that I could migrate those tweaks to another build of firefox on my other hdd?
[16:03] <SammyF> IntuitiveNipple: already tried it. doesn't change anything sadly. As I said, booting from a USB install has the network running flawlessly :/
[16:03] <letalis> once the mixer is open the lower right hand part of the window has a prefernces button. youll need to go in there, and check each one of the empty check boxes, then after that youll have a recording tab along with the playback one
[16:03] <el_ruso> hi everyone
[16:04] <nivalis> hi
[16:04] <letalis> click the recording tab and unmute the mic.
[16:04] <el_ruso> how do i know my ip?
[16:04] <dayo> !welcome | el_ruso
[16:04] <letalis> it should record after that assuming everything is plugged up correctly.
[16:04] <IntuitiveNipple> SammyF: Then, start digging into the /var/log/kern.log. Start from the end and work backwards. I suspect there'll be some clues as to why the network isn't working... maybe a device issue
[16:04] <martin__> hey how edit /proc/acpi/event
[16:04] <sammy> el_ruso, try System -> Administration -> Network Tools
[16:04] <nivalis> el_ruso, www.whatismyip.com
[16:04] <ChickenGirl> letalis the xfce sound mixer is different from the gnome one, it has volume bars for master, PCM, front, front mic, front mic boost, etc etc mic, mic boost, capture, capture,1, digital
[16:04] <savvas> sugi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountIso
[16:05] <ChickenGirl> I can't make sense of it
[16:05] <el_ruso> excuse guys my ip under router
[16:05] <moneybags1234> nivalis, I did a lot of about:config tweaks in firefox 3 in ubuntu on one of my hdd's i was wondering if there was a way that I could migrate those tweaks to another build of firefox on my other hdd?
[16:05] <letalis> hmm ive never messed with xfce. wonder if anyone else in here might know
[16:06] <Myrtti> ChickenGirl, letalis: #xubuntu
[16:06] <letalis> if you have gnome installed typing gnome-volume-control in a terminal should bring up the mixer panel
[16:06] <sammy> moneybags1234, do you want to copy your entire profile to another instance of firefox?
[16:06] <Frijolie> having a problem with HAL and my mouse cursor--it jumps to random locations on the screen and chooses submenus for me
[16:06] <Myrtti> ChickenGirl: try alsamixer
[16:06] <dayo> el_ruso: use this command: ifconfig -a
[16:06] <th__> hey is there anyway to increase quantum of inodes?
[16:06] <Frijolie> my /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't haven anything listed for a mouse
[16:06] <el_ruso> dayo thanks, and thanks to everyone
[16:06] <sammy> ChickenGirl, if you're using pulseaudio there is a mixer program for that in the package pulseaudio-utils
[16:06] <moneybags1234> sammy, sure that would work too but mainly i just want the about:config tweaks
[16:07] <nivalis> moneybags, there ought to be a dotfile for it somewhere
[16:07] <moneybags1234> nivalis, what would it be called?
[16:07] <sammy> moneybags1234, prefs.js holds your about:config tweaks
[16:07] <ChickenGirl> sammy I don't knowwhat pulseaudio is, so I don't know whether I'm using it or if it's the problem :/
[16:07] <moneybags1234> sammy, great thanks!
[16:07] <letalis> !pulseaudio | ChickenGirl
[16:08] <sammy> ChickenGirl, its a good place to start. pulse audio sits on top of alsa, think of it as the 'master' mixer for your  machine, managing at the highest level all the input and output
[16:08] <ChickenGirl> does it have to be deliberately installed or does it come with Itchy Iguana (Ibex, whatever)?
[16:09] <letalis> sammy: not necessarily true, pulseaudio is just a layer running on top of alsa, if she doesnt unmute the mic from within alsa it wont work in anything else.
[16:09] <Myrtti> ChickenGirl: xubuntu doesn't come with pulseaudio by default
[16:10] <ChickenGirl> the mic doesn't seem to be muted, I've been trying to use ventrilo, when I talk people hear "feedback"-like noises
[16:10] <th__> i have been doing that
[16:10] <Ejlan> Any one more then me that have the "Assertion failed" error in firefox?
[16:10] <sammy> ChickenGirl, that sounds like alsa is not only recording from your microphone, but also recording a 'monitor' input
[16:11] <letalis> yeah that happens when the 'wires' get crossed as it were.
[16:11]  * letalis does a lot of work in ardour
[16:11] <letalis> :)
[16:12] <sammy> ChickenGirl, you need to learn a bit more about what all of the different channels in your mixer do. try finding an audio recording program and slowly test what happens when you record from each channel. you'll find out where the audio is coming from and going to. there's really no easy way to walk someone through it, though maybe someone else has a better idea
[16:12] <ChickenGirl> alsamixer has the exact same volume bar setup as the xfce mixer
[16:12] <ChickenGirl> sammy can you recommend one? "Sound Recorder" isn't cutting it :p
[16:12] <Frijolie> anyone, anyone, Bueler...Bueler
[16:13] <letalis> ChickenGirl: what are you attempting to accomplish? just getting vent to work?
[16:13] <Myrtti> ChickenGirl: have you checked already that your capture input sources are the right way around?
[16:13] <ChickenGirl> letalis, trying to talk in vent
[16:13] <sammy> in xfce? I've never used it before. what I would do is look into the recording tab of your mixer program. mute *all* the channels and slowly unmute each one by themselves
[16:14] <Swammy> I have dual booted Ubuntu with MacOX86 and am not prompted with the boot menu allowing me to choose which OS to run
[16:14] <ChickenGirl> myrtti, how do I do that?
[16:15] <Seronis> how do i totally dismantal mousekeys?  it keeps turning on randomly and i loathe having to waste my time to turn it off manually when it shouldnt ever activate in the first place (and NO, im NOT using the key combo, it does this usually when i've used vnc recently)
[16:15] <Myrtti> ChickenGirl: launch a terminal, type in alsamixer, hit tab, move with arrow keys to right, until your on Input Sources. Change the values with arrows up and down. Exit with esc.
[16:15] <Drummies> join #ubuntu-nl-meeting
[16:16] <nivalis> also, store it with alsactl store as root
[16:16] <circusbred> bah no imagerotate()
[16:16] <Myrtti> ChickenGirl: also, my ~/.asoundrc is http://pastebin.com/f6c4a94a
[16:16] <bartmon> Hello! Compiz users, how can I enable window snapping to panel borders? In metacity snaping works much better because of this.
[16:16] <sammy> Seronis, System -> Preferences -> Assistive Technologies
[16:16] <Seronis> sammy:  that doesnt make it go away forever
[16:17] <letalis> ChickenGirl: yeah a misconfigured .asoundrc can do some nasty stuff
[16:17] <Seronis> that is what i have to do to turn it off when it turns itself on.  i want it  -gone-  so that it cant turn itself on anymore
[16:17] <letalis> let me look
[16:17] <azath> So I upgraded to jaunty, rebooted, sound was working - but the 2.6.28-7 kernel was mapping my drives differently, had to uninstall, reinstall, change some menu.lst parameters before it would boot. But NOW I don't have sound, and I expect it has to do with the kernel.
[16:17] <sammy> Seronis, in keyboard preferences, under the accessibility tab, I see 'accessibility features can be triggered with keyboard shortcuts'
[16:17] <Myrtti> !jaunty | azath
[16:17] <Seronis> that is deselected
[16:17] <sammy> that is deseected yet mouse keys still activates when you press something on the keyboard?
[16:18] <bubba> hi, I just tried to install "exiftool" but it seems like its not i the repositories? Does anyone know why?
[16:18] <Seronis> sammy:  it activates randomly.  generally near times i've used vnc to access my machine
[16:18] <Myrtti> !info exiftool
[16:18] <whooperdoo> ddsdf
[16:18] <bubba> what the f...
[16:18] <Myrtti> !info libimage-exiftool-perl
[16:18] <Seronis> sammy:  'enable assistive technologies'  is deselected
[16:19] <Myrtti> bubba: ^
[16:19] <n8tuser> Seronis-> see if it has an entry in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:19] <george> d/l'd gooogle earth into unbuntu desktop. It is .bin file. how do I install??
[16:19] <bubba> ok, thanks anyway
[16:19] <Myrtti> george: you can install it enabling medibuntu repository and installing ti from there
[16:19] <Seronis> n8tuser:  is that a large file or something specific to look for ?   (opening now)
[16:19] <IntuitiveNipple> george: Google Earth 5 ?
[16:19] <Myrtti> george: much safer to do it like that
[16:20] <SammyF> IntuitiveNipple: I give up. no errors in dmesg, and it ~used~ to work before installing the updates ... I'll try to rebuild the USB install and then reinstall the AA1
[16:20] <sammy> george, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth
[16:20] <bartmon> george: in a terminal type  "sh <path to downloaded file>"
[16:21] <george> it is google earth linux (3)
[16:21] <IntuitiveNipple> SammyF: OK ... have you tried using tcpdump to monitor eth0 to see if it can received any ethernet broadcast packets
[16:21] <IntuitiveNipple> SammyF: That might help determine if it's a hardware/driver issue, or higher up
[16:21] <sammy> Myrtti, interesting, the fact that google earth is in the medibuntu repository should be added to the community doc page.
[16:22] <IntuitiveNipple> george: Google Earth v4.x are in the medibuntu repository
[16:22] <SammyF> IntuitiveNipple: looks like eth0 doesn't receive or send anything.
[16:22] <IntuitiveNipple> george: Usually it's a case of doing "sudo bash <filename>" to install it
[16:22] <SammyF> IntuitiveNipple: hmm ... might be a powersaving thing
[16:23] <Seronis> n8tuser: nothing mentioning  mousekeys or accessibility options in xorg.conf
[16:23] <savvas> sammy: I trust that you will do it :)
[16:23] <IntuitiveNipple> SammyF: Check the arp cache see if it has ever seen anything
[16:23] <keystr0k> xvidcap keeps crashing on me... about 2 seconds after I click the record button... any ideas?  I've tried with/without compiz...
[16:23] <sammy> savvas, I'm just logging in with my launchpad openID to do just that :)
[16:23] <letalis> ChickenGirl: I looked at your pastebin, that doesnt look awfully different from a default one. but i doubt having it is necessary.
[16:23] <savvas> sammy: thanks! :)
[16:23] <bubba> Myrtti, I didnt realize that only the package name changed.  thanks for the help.
[16:23] <n8tuser> Seronis -> okay, i dont know where the settings is for that then
[16:24] <letalis> you need to get a mixer control that ives you full access to all of the options in alsa and basically just unmute the recording portion of the mice
[16:24] <letalis> mic rather
[16:24] <savvas> sammy: actually, the list of packages is here: http://packages.medibuntu.org/
[16:24] <george> how to get to medibuntu reps...??
[16:24] <sammy> savvas, whats something else people commonly install from medibuntu repositories so i can copy the instructions from an already tried and true help doc
[16:24] <SammyF> IntuitiveNipple: sigjuice: wtf!!! "arp who-has <IP_ADDRESS> tell Looney-Tunes.local" ... does that mean that it thinks <IP_ADDRESS> is itself?
[16:24] <th__> hey is there anyway to increase quantum of inodes?
[16:24] <ikonia> th__: quantum of inodes ?
[16:25] <Seronis> n8tuser:  im not worried about a setting.   i just want the feature sabatoged / dismantled / gone.   Any way to intentionally handicap it beyond  unselecting   "enable assistive technologies"  and  "features can be toggled with keyboard shortcuts"
[16:25] <sammy> also, does anyone have any idea why apt-get complains about a package not being authenticated, when the keyring for its repository is already loaded, and apt-key reports its there?
[16:25] <sammy> ikonia, I think they mean number of inodes
[16:25] <Seronis> n8tuser:  cause i've had those two DE selected for months and it still turns itself back on randomly after vnc use
[16:25] <sammy> th__, in what filesystem?
[16:25] <SammyF> IntuitiveNipple: sigjuice: that's while pinging <IP_ADDRESS> and running tcpdump btw
[16:25] <th__> ikonia, i ran out of them. ext3

[16:39] <jrib> Elive_user77_en: from what I recall reading, ce just has certain packages installed by default.  You should be able to just install those packages on your install

[16:45] <quizme> does anybody have a script that slices up a big file into pieces and downloads each piece, checking the MD5 after it downloads and then reinitiating the downlod in case the MD5 hash doesn't match?
[16:45] <ikonia> faz: trust the ubuntu packages, they offer the most compatible packages they can for the operating system
[16:45] <ikonia> quizme: shouldn't be too hard to write

[16:46] <SammyF> brb ... rebooting
[16:46] <faz> ikonia: what should i do right now ?
[16:46] <IntuitiveNipple> Nasra: Because the PC's local IP address is often for the local area network only, and the Internet router has a separate public IP address which is what whatsmyip.com will see
[16:46] <toman_> i cant re-install ubuntu!
[16:46] <ikonia> faz: nothing - trust the ubuntu developers

[16:49] <jrib> quizme: I don't really understand the purpose
[16:49] <Dr_willis> Ryzzan,  depends on what you want to do afterwards.. and how you installed it.

[16:50] <Dr_willis> Ryzzan,  use a parittioniong tool.. delete parittions,  use windows rescue/system to restiore boot loader.
[16:50] <brunner> Ryzzan: you could always use a large electromagnet, though
[16:50] <ikonia> quizme: your md5's for partial files will not be useable for split files

[16:51] <tangentcollision> FlareFlare: in no way is that spam, I'm giving useful input in UCE that Elive requested
[16:51] <brunner> toman_: that's where I'd start
[16:51] <Nasra> I have another question:
[16:51] <faz> ikonia: i installed the bin and run it

[16:54] <SmileDay> What's package name for sound? I will "dpkg-reconfigure".

[16:55] <bn43> hi is there a way to disble decryption of home directory?  I just want to see if this affects performance
[16:55] <fearful> SmileDay: I don't understand, thats the command to reconfigure the dpkg, not sound.
[16:55] <Dr_willis> vande,  if you want to get fancy put a #!/bin/bash at the start and make it executable
[16:55] <ikonia> Nasra: you need to read your router documentation
[16:55] <Flare183> Elive_user77_en: Sorry. I just got back, I was playing Metroid Prime Hunters
[16:55] <toman_> brunner, i haven't changed anything on my machine, like I said everything worked well and it just stopped working. Ok I will have to transfer it to this machine via usb drive. Will you be here for a little while?

[16:56] <ikonia> Nasra: search the web for the manual then, #ubuntu doesn't provider router support
[16:56] <vanrain> thx Dr_wills
[16:56] <brunner> toman_: regardless, this is the only way I know of to troubleshoot your issue, so someone else would likely ask you to do the same thing
[16:57] <toman_> brunner, fantastic thank you  it will only take a second, i just have to save it to usb then transfer here.
[16:57] <Elive_user77_en> i see theres new ce sweet i had old 1 im tryn to get newer 1 woohoo

[17:02] <Flare183> fearful: I made it up; Windows = Winblows
[17:02] <Dr_willis> mosimo,  no - xorg.conf does not.
[17:02] <ikonia> mosimo: it's not per user
[17:02] <SmileDay> fearful, voice in sound.

[17:09] <jrib> quizme: cat...
[17:09] <ikonia> mohan43u: check the warning "unsupported video codec" - you don't have a way to read it to convert it
[17:09] <tiredbones> I'm trying to backup my home directory, but for some reason I can get around .gvfs. I'm using dar with the option -P to exclude it. dosen't work. any solution?
[17:09] <quizme> jrib i'm gonna have 10,000 arguments to cat though
[17:09] <fearful> henaaque I've never worked on it but I found a tutorial that might be of help
[17:10] <ikonia> henaaque: there are options for web / word wide web client acess in ubuntu but they are not easy to setup in the same way as eyeos
[17:10] <bn43> hi does anyone know how to disable decryption on home drive?
[17:10] <jrib> quizme: do you know how to glob?

[17:10] <quizme> jrib: no :(
[17:10] <henaaque> fearful, thank you

[17:11] <jrib> quizme: you probably want to glob, yeah :)
[17:11] <OrEvA_> how do I run syslinux after installing
[17:11] <fearful> henaaque: No problem, just never used it can't really help much.
[17:11] <quizme> jrib: that will preserve the  correct order?
[17:11] <jrib> quizme: maybe?  check
[17:12] <boaty> I am trying to get my Logitech Quickcam express to work in skype or camorama. I have read the ubuntu webcam page which says it should be automatic. When I do lsusb it recognises it. I also tested it in skype and that freezes the whole computer. I have seen the thread with the LD preload and tried it. Still no luck. Any other suggestions? Thank you
[17:13] <islan_k> hey, I'm having a bit of a complex problem, can't even figure out how to google it
[17:13] <sammyF> boaty: I know it's not much help, but my quckcam express WAS recognized automatically. Checked whether it works in windows?
[17:13] <bn43> hi does anyone know how to disable decryption on home drive?
[17:13] <mohan43u> ikonia: they are asking to compile from svn.. is there any other way?
[17:13] <ikonia> bn43: it's not enabled by default
[17:13] <boaty> It works it windoze.
[17:13] <sammyF> boaty: oh... and I'm assuming you're using either 8.04 or 8.10 here
[17:14] <ikonia> mohan43u: who is "they"
[17:14] <quizme> jrib yah it does ;)
[17:14] <boaty> 8.10
[17:14] <sammyF> boaty: very weird
[17:14] <mohan43u> in mplayer's mailing list..
[17:14] <kreino> help, how to re-enable Recent Documents?
[17:14] <islan_k> my windows comp died, so I was trying to use an Ubuntu Live CD to backup some of the files before a reinstall, but it kept on giving me "logical errors" with no end in sight
[17:14] <islan_k> I feel that if I did an fsck it could fix it, but I can't seem to get to a command prompt
[17:14] <kreino> help, how to re-enable Recent Documents or to enable Trash?
[17:14] <ikonia> mohan43u: if the codec in ubuntu is too early, no
[17:14] <sammyF> boaty: only video input you have? maybe you're using a different device than the quickcam
[17:14] <bn43> ikonia: when I loaded intrepid it asked if I wanted to encrypt home drive and I said yes
[17:14] <jrib> quizme: yea, as long as you don't want to sort numerically it should work (but this is default split behavior)
[17:14] <ikonia> islan_k: sounds like your disk is dead
[17:15] <islan_k> nooooo!
[17:15] <ikonia> islan_k: if windows is dead and ubuntu is moaning - your disk is probably having a problem
[17:15] <mohan43u> ikonia: Check this link, http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2007-August/068709.html,
[17:15] <boaty> I have the pc setup to my tv using a monitor cable. But that is output not input.
[17:15] <sammyF> boaty: indeed
[17:15] <blah34> !vnc
[17:15] <tiredbones> I tried to remove file .gvfs, but I told that it is busy. What programs use that file?
[17:15] <sammyF> boaty: what did you setup in the multimedia panel for video input?
[17:15] <ikonia> mohan43u: that's a poor response, but the version of mplayer shipped with ubuntu 8.10 is quite old, so he could be right
[17:16] <islan_k> is there any diagnostic program I can run from the cd drive that could tell me for sure?
[17:16] <boaty> only thought is that it is perhaps just too old
[17:16] <ikonia> usser: depends on what the damage is
[17:16] <mohan43u> ikonia: I'm getting this same error in ffmpeg also? is it a libavc problem?
[17:16] <ikonia> usser: smart is always a good check
[17:16] <ikonia> mohan43u: that's the codec - so probably
[17:17] <sammyF> boaty: please write the name of the person you're talking to. it's getting rather messy to answer otherwise ;)
[17:17] <marc> gyges
[17:17] <sammyF> boaty, when you go to system->Preferences->Multimedia System Selector in the second tab, what's in video input?
[17:18] <boaty> samyF. ok thank you for that guidance
[17:18] <OrEvA_> how do I run syslinux after installing
[17:18] <chazco> Can anyone suggest which is likely to have the best results for a live system which has issues with 8.*? Using 7.10 or 9.04?
[17:18] <ikonia> chazco: neither
[17:18] <ikonia> chazco: fix the issue with 8.X
[17:18] <kreino> Your account has expired; please contact your system administrator
[17:18] <kreino> su: Authentication failure
[17:18] <kreino>  <--- how to solve it?
[17:18] <chazco> ikonia - Wifi issues which go way beyond me, so doubtful that i could
[17:19] <ikonia> kreino: contact your system administrator
[17:19] <sammyF> boaty: oh ... And most irc clients have name completion with TAB :)
[17:19] <ikonia> chazco: is this the WPA stuff ?
[17:19] <boaty> sammyF. I have done System>Preferences and do not see mulitmedia selector
[17:19] <chazco> ikonia - Yep, the bug report didnt help. Also having a few other issues with 8.10 too
[17:19] <ubuntistas> iam upgradin to kubuntu 4.2 and the kde windows manger says the the update is not authenticated any clue?
[17:19] <ikonia> chazco: have you updated the bug report - and followed up with the package maintainer
[17:20] <ikonia> chazco: speaking to the guy who is fixing the bug is a great start
[17:20] <sammyF> boaty: "Multimedia System Selector" actually. YOu're using an english version of ubuntu or another language?
[17:20] <islan_k> so ikonia, do you think it is the hard drive?
[17:20] <doubletoker> I need some help, do I want linux-restricted-module installed?
[17:20] <tiredbones> I'm trying to backup my home directory, but for some reason I can get around .gvfs. I'm using dar with the option -P or -X to exclude it. dosen't work. any solution?
[17:20] <marc1453> hello, can someone help a novice with finding Windoze shares and mounting them in Ubuntu?  I want to start using Ubuntu instead of Windows for my system, but all the rest of the computers here run windows and have shared drives I need to access
[17:20] <ikonia> islan_k: I've no idea, I'm not sat at your disk, but if both windows and linux think there is a hard disk problem - it's a common fault
[17:20] <doubletoker> I want stuff like php, mysql and the like, earlier
[17:20] <islan_k> thanks
[17:21] <boaty> SAMMYF: using English version. Nothing that vagues looks like that
[17:21] <ikonia> marc1453: a good start is calling it "windows" not "windoze"
[17:21] <bn43> is there a way for me to remove an ubunt install and start afresh on a dual boot(xp) install
[17:21] <marc1453> it's an os..
[17:21] <ikonia> bn43: re-install over the top
[17:21] <tiredbones> I'm trying to backup my home directory, but for some reason I can get around a permission denied on file .gvfs. I'm using dar with the option -P or -X to exclude it. dosen't work. any solution?
[17:21] <sammyF> boaty: oops ... THAT is weird
[17:21] <ikonia> marc1453: windoze is not an OS, it's called "windows"
[17:21] <mohan43u> ikonia: thanks for the help.. I you can, kindly tell to the mplayer package maintainer to release newer version..
[17:21] <lorenzosu> How to see environment variables in ubuntu?
[17:21] <marc1453> oh, sorry
[17:21] <mohan43u> ikonia: :)
[17:21] <ikonia> mohan43u: pardon, say that again please
[17:21] <ikonia> mohan43u: didn't follow that
[17:21] <mohan43u> ikonia: thanks for the help.. I you can, kindly tell to the mplayer package maintainer to release newer version..
[17:21] <marc1453> I am very frustrated with MS Windows XP at the  moment... nasty virus.  I have had enough
[17:22] <doubletoker> can someone give me the link on ubuntu for lamp
[17:22] <bn43> I want to install lxde - that requires ubuntu-mini, which I have downloaded - what do I have to look out for?
[17:22] <ikonia> mohan43u: I've logged a requet already to have the mplayer version updated in 8.10
[17:22] <chazco> ikonia - Not much I could add to the bug thats not already listed, but will look into it. If not though, 7.10 is still supported i think, so probably better option than 9.04?
[17:22] <marc1453> I am running of the xubuntu live CD at the moment
[17:22] <erUSUL> !lamp | doubletoker
[17:22] <ikonia> chazco: 7.10 is supported yes
[17:22] <marc1453> very nice

[17:22] <ikonia> marc1453: samba will allow that
[17:23] <ikonia> Prabz: is he using ubuntu 7.10 ?
[17:23] <chazco> ikonia - Ok, if it comes to it i'll go with 7.10. Thanks... trying to find out about the wifi power bug and the shutdown bug too
[17:23] <Prabz> ikonia, it works on all 7.10 and later
[17:23] <marc1453> I gathered that, but I am having a hard time figuring out how to 1) find the drives and 2) mount them.  I went through the man pages, but I know very little about configing it
[17:23] <ikonia> doubletoker: you need to install the following packages 1.) apache2 2.) libapache2-mod-php5 3.) mysql-server
[17:24] <marc1453> wondering if someone knows of a tutorial or some suggestions.
[17:24] <spaceBARbarian> how do you install a font in ubuntu /

[17:45] <keystr0k> erUSUL, recordmydesktop won't even let me move it's control window... I haven't even started recording and that one creams my xorg process
[17:45] <dipset> erUSUL: how do i copy the kernel sources?

[17:49] <WebcamWonder> Quick question, how do I check my swap size?
[17:49] <erUSUL> mlalkaka: no that i know of... better use /etc/network/interfaces
[17:49] <dlstyley> happened since I swapped mice and then swapped back.  was having a bunch of trouble.  turned out that then mouse I was using was causing probs (an old serial mouse).  Now I switched back to usb but no joy.
[17:49] <erUSUL> WebcamWonder: «free» on terminla
[17:49] <mlalkaka> erUSUL: ok thanks. i just thought i'd check before manually editing interfaces
[17:50] <WebcamWonder> erUSUL, Cool, thanks

[17:50] <shad_> erUSUL, my system doesnot show resolution more than 800 X 600
[17:50] <dlstyley> part of the problem is I can't make heads or tails of this new hal/xinput stuff compared to old xorg.conf
[17:50] <sveinung> does any one now about a way to publish html scripts on the internet?
[17:50] <ubuntistas> also switch user doesn't appear in panel when i i just installed kubuntu

[17:52] <ubuntistas> how can i completely remove kde-desktop and its programs?
[17:52] <ubuntistas> also switch user doesn't appear in panel when i i just installed kubuntu
[17:52] <OriWB_> Can someone please look at something for me, and help me understand it?
[17:52] <erUSUL> dlstyley: so if you add a mouse section they will "abey" it and not use autoconfiguration

[17:54] <erUSUL> ubuntistas: that's what the factoid says
[17:54] <Swammy> Sorry all. I am trying to have my OSX86 partition boot on the grub boot menu.

[18:06] <chawarma> Flash player doesn't work good on linux comparing with windows, the videos of youtube are slow, I installed the .deb flash player from the official web site of adobe
[18:07] <WebcamWonder> gartral: There is a built-in soundrecorder, I haven't tried it
[18:07] <SoulSeek> (I can say I was referred)
[18:07] <WebcamWonder> chawarma: Yes. It is a known issue. Since Flash is closed source, we cannot do anything about it, other than recommending Flash PLayer 10
[18:07] <Redragon> I really did not want to have to come in here and bother you folks with my ineptitude. But it seems I have nowhere left to go.
[18:08] <chawarma> ok
[18:08] <WebcamWonder> Redragon: That is fine. This is what we are here for
[18:08] <martin__> :)
[18:08] <Redragon> I am trying to install a piece of software. I have already extracted the file, but cannot seem to install the package beyond that.
[18:09] <jrib> Redragon: be more specific...
[18:09] <WebcamWonder> Redragon: What software are you installing? If you are installing on already in the repos, please give preference to those first
[18:09] <martin__> Redragon,  make a script downloading in the web the file that you newed
[18:09] <martin__> ande put the extencion
[18:09] <martin__> :)
[18:10] <Ari> Thank you webcamwonder.  Also our bios is password-protected.  We have disabled that to see if there's different behavior (this is the T20).
[18:10] <Redragon> I downloaded the software from http://www.wwmkr.com/
[18:10] <sulumar> can anyone tell me how i can associate the teamspeak protokol with the corresponding application in firefox
[18:10] <Redragon> using firefox it downloaded to my desktop
[18:10] <Evilrick> I got a problem with 8.04 HH, as of a few weeks ago my removable media stopped automounting. MMC cards USB disks and the CD rom drive. I can still mount them manually with sudo mount so its not a hardware issue. If I log into Gnome as root then the automounting works. I have checked my settings in gconf-editor and the settings in my user administration tool. Any Ideas? here are my subsystem...
[18:10] <Evilrick> ...logs http://paste.ubuntu.com/117863/
[18:11] <WebcamWonder> Redragon: What is this software?
[18:11] <Redragon> I extracted the file and now have 5 seperate files on my desktop, none of which seem to indicate instructions.
[18:11] <jrib> Redragon: if you trust the source, double click on the .deb...

[18:11] <Rhapsody> Argh. I need the GIMP to whirl part of an image for me. It'll quite happily do this. To the centre of the image. I need it to do this at the bottom righr corner. How do I make it do this?
[18:11] <angeliunis_> WHO CAN HELP WITH LINUX UBUNTU??
[18:11] <jrib> angeliunis_: please just ask your question (without the caps)
[18:12] <Redragon> It is software for creating projects. I personally am a writer. The software is designed to help with the novel writing process. Just thought I would give it a look.
[18:12] <NeoDragon> I don't want to be a bother, but I could not find anything helpful elsewhere, is there a program I can install on Ubuntu Hardy to enable touchscreen capabilities on a Tablet PC such as the Fujitsu LifeBook U810? I would like to install Hardy on it.
[18:12] <WebcamWonder> Redragon: Just double click on the corresponding .dev
[18:12] <angeliunis_> Someone in private can help with Linux Ubuntu? I have troubles with my external hard drive.
[18:13] <gnu_d> I did everything in the link, the webcamera is still not functioning.

[18:17] <jrib> angeliunis_: ugh.  ASK YOUR QUESTION
[18:17] <oCean__> Redragon: since wwmkr has dependencies on gambas2, The easies way to install would be "sudo apt-get install wwmkr-qt"

[18:18] <jrib> angeliunis_: just state what the problem is
[18:18] <martin__> sudo or nano whatever
[18:18] <gnu_d> fow: why did you ask me the kernel version then ?
[18:18] <fow> gnu_d, I know that with 2.6.28 gspca behaves differently, as some drivers have been merged into the kernel and the rest don't compile
[18:18] <Bloc> hey
[18:18] <fow> gnu_d, with .24 though, I don't think I had any trouble
[18:18] <gnu_d> fow: so, I recompile shoud work ?
[18:18] <sara_> In evolution is there any way of running filters on the inbox? like telling the programme to "move all messages from the inbox to these folders, like you would with new mail"

[18:21] <sara_> i made the filters for incomming mail
[18:21] <NeoDragon> Is there touch screen capability for tablet PC's or is there a separate package I will need to download from the repos?
[18:21] <letalis> is there anything in gnome that would work well for a program flowcharting software?
[18:21] <gnu_d> fow: I have Hardy, I haven't updated the distro, I cant find .26 kernel, where to find it ?

[18:21] <erUSUL> sara_: mine work as expected
[18:22] <Bloc> sorry ;-)
[18:22] <letalis> eitreach: is it the sun version or the free version?
[18:22] <erUSUL> eitreach: ask in #vbox
[18:22] <martin__> all are stings men think about the lines open the file wen report ass a text mode and modific the value too correct labels too work Evilrick
[18:22] <eitreach> letalis: the version downloaded from sun's own site.
[18:22] <martin__> :)
[18:22] <DasEi> eitreach:a quest for virtualbox, but you need the prop. version of their homepage, free for personal use
[18:23] <Num83rGuy> My network and sound stopped working today when I turned on my computer, yet the live CD works and I do not remember changing any settings.
[18:23] <letalis> eitreach: the device works best if its disabled in linux for the guest oerating system to have full access to it.
[18:23] <|hashbang|> !seen
[18:23] <Evilrick> martin__: sorry but I cannot understand your english.
[18:23] <eitreach> letalis: how do I do that?
[18:23] <bartmon> hey guys. anyone know of a good benchmark suite? Google offers a few but i don't know which is ok...
[18:23] <letalis> usually you have to specify the devies in advance and let vbox take over control of them while the vm is in use
[18:23] <martin__> well I try :)
[18:24] <eitreach> right..
[18:24] <letalis> vm handles it, but you have to specify what in the usb configuration of vbox as to what it will take over
[18:24] <Num83rGuy> photronix has one
[18:24] <eitreach> letalis: the filters thing?
[18:25] <letalis> like a printer available to vbox usually becomes inacessible to the host system, (im assuming linux in this case)
[18:25] <letalis> yes
[18:25] <eitreach> alright. so I mark the devices that I want to use with vb?
[18:25] <letalis> yes
[18:25] <uski> hello; i would like to use packages fro, jaunty in intrepid, is that possible? how? thanks. (i'm having huge issues with pulseaudio and people reported the issues to be fixed by using more recent packages)
[18:25] <letalis> when the vm is in use the host will more than likely lose access to them
[18:25] <bartmon> Num83rGuy: Yes, i guess i'll just use that suite since phoronix is quite a credible site
[18:26] <letalis> devices dont like to fight with two osses on the usb bus at the same time and they rarely play nice if both have access to it at the same time
[18:26] <WebcamWonder> uski: It is possible but not recommended as other packages might depend on an older version, and you might end up with broken packages
[18:27] <Mez> hey, anyone know how to stop SSH hanging when I leave it idle? I know putty has an option to do that (the timeout option) but I cant seem to find the config option to do it in my ssh config on ubuntu
[18:27] <letalis> back to my question what would work well as a program flowcharting software in gnome?
[18:27] <ktebit> what's the named designation of ubuntu 8.10? feisty?
[18:27] <letalis> anyone got any ideas?

[18:28] <fiftyone> i'm wondering if it is just me or does the opera install not include a launcher?
[18:28] <angeliunis_> opera sucks get firefox fiftyone

[18:31] <Redragon> I apologize for my absence. Were you suggesting I download the debian version of wwmkr?
[18:31] <Mez> bartmon: I'll look, but just found TCPKeepAlive
[18:31] <NeoDragon> Is there touch screen capability for tablet PC's or is there a separate package I will need to download from the repos?
[18:31] <fow> anom01y, I'd just use the shell
[18:31] <gnu_d> fow: but is it ok to install Intrepid pkg on Hardy ?
[18:31] <WebcamWonder> Redragon: If there is a debian version available, yes, it is recommended over compiling from source
[18:31] <fow> gnu_d, why not just update?
[18:31] <NeoDragon> in xfce install gparted and you can format a usb stick from with gparted
[18:31] <anom01y> fow,  format: command not found
[18:31] <oCean__> Redragon: wwmkr-qt is in the repos.
[18:31] <fow> anom01y, what filesystem do you want to format the stick as?
[18:31] <anom01y> gparted ahh yes
[18:32] <gnu_d> gnu_d: cause this internet source is slow.
[18:32] <anom01y> vfat
[18:32] <Redragon> Is it okay to run use the debian version while running hardy heron?
[18:32] <oCean__> Redragon: so use next command to install, it will also resolve the gambas dependencies: "sudo apt-get install wwmkr-qt"
[18:32] <tanky_> hi all
[18:32] <stefg> anom01y: this ain't DOS :-)
[18:32] <fow> anom01y, mkfs.vfat /dev/sd??
[18:32] <anom01y> ok
[18:32] <anom01y> that works
[18:32] <fow> anom01y, I think you need dosfstools though
[18:32] <pietrubens> hello
[18:32] <anom01y> how do I determine where is the stick located in /dev ?
[18:32] <fow> where ?? were wildcards
[18:33] <pietrubens> i have opera 9.63, windows vista (i know, it's not ubuntu, but maybe someone can shed a light?), and i want to know how to change a backgroundpicture at the "dial-up" screen, instead of having to install a totally new skin
[18:33] <WebcamWonder> !offtopic | pietrubens
[18:33] <WebcamWonder> anom01y: sudo fdisk -l, should list you all the partitions
[18:34] <zelda> get gparted, it will do the same thing
[18:34] <ZX-Martin> hi all
[18:34] <NeoDragon> yes just get gparted from the repos it's alot easier
[18:34] <IntuitiveNipple> anom01y: You can look at the sym-links: ls -l /dev/disk/by-id
[18:35] <DjViper1> anyone know how to fix ndiswrapper?
[18:35] <chawarma> We can't make a partitions with gparted unless we use a live CD, true ?
[18:35] <anom01y> ahh yes gparted is nice
[18:35] <juvenil> a
[18:35] <anom01y> thanks all my probs are solved..
[18:35] <WebcamWonder> chawarma: You cannot resize active partitions without using LiveCD
[18:35] <zelda> no you can.
[18:36] <chawarma> ok
[18:36] <Evilrick> I got a problem with 8.04 HH, as of a few weeks ago my removable media stopped automounting. MMC cards USB disks and the CD rom drive. I can still mount them manually with sudo mount so its not a hardware issue. If I log into Gnome as root then the automounting works. I have checked my settings in gconf-editor and the settings in my user administration tool. Any Ideas? here are my subsystem...

[18:37] <nite_johnboy> WebcamWonder; THanks much - using Okular - and couldn't remember what default app was - thanks.
[18:37] <ivo> does someone have ideas on improving security of .desktop files?
[18:38] <ivo> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/18028/ what about this?
[18:38] <Num83rGuy> Can any one help me fix my network and sound?
[18:38] <WebcamWonder> Num83rGuy: Could you give us more info?
[18:39] <Num83rGuy> sure ether net card uses forceeth driver sount is intel ich
[18:39] <alucardromero> Hello, everybody! :)
[18:40] <fiftyone> WebcamWonder thanks alot.
[18:40] <alucardromero> Would anybody happen to know a fix for the firefox/flash/no sound issue for Intrepid?
[18:40] <alucardromero> Videos work great... MySpace, YouTube, and any other video site.  Just lacking sound.
[18:40] <WebcamWonder> fiftyone: If it works from ALT+F2, you can add a launcher to the menu by right click on it, end editing , and adding it manually
[18:41] <Num83rGuy> I am running the live cd right now and am having a bit of toruble finding the hardware spicifics. sorry.
[18:41] <binarymutant> alucardromero, most of the time if you restart firefox, or  kill it, it works
[18:41] <oCean__> alucardromero: what flash plugin? flashplugin-nonfree?
[18:41] <IntuitiveNipple> ivo: when I first saw the issue on LWM I thought the solution should be the file must be executable, but it would be nice to have a shebang line there in that case
[18:41] <alucardromero> No, the one from adobe.com
[18:41] <WebcamWonder> Num83rGuy: lspci, to get a list of all PCI based hardware, that should help you nail which cards you are running
[18:42] <fiftyone> webcamwonder, i have a related question. how do i find the code to launch a program if I want to create a custtom launcher or something. Forexample, the trash can, i want to create a custom launcher for trashcan how do i know what the command is to launch it...
[18:42] <Out_Cold> aren't they the same flash plugin?
[18:42] <oCean__> alucardromero: the 'flashplugin-nonfree' in the repos is Adobe's.
[18:42] <WebcamWonder> fiftyone: You want one on the desktop? Nautilus has an option (hidden) for that
[18:42] <oCean__> alucardromero: Using the one from the repos, is fine on video and sound (for me)
[18:42] <alucardromero> Yeah, I know that.  But would it matter if it was from the adobe site or from the repositories?
[18:42] <erUSUL> fiftyone: you can add a trash can to your desktop via gconf-editor
[18:42] <ivo> IntuitiveNipple: I think it should be executable only if it's not in /usr/share/applications
[18:43] <oCean__> alucardromero: don't know, the one from the repos works for me. Intrepid / ff 3.0.6
[18:43] <alucardromero> Okay, I'll see if I can't switch them out.
[18:43] <Num83rGuy>  nVidia Corporation MCP51 AC97 Audio Control for sound and nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller
[18:43] <alucardromero> Thank you for the help, I'll let you know how it turns out.
[18:43] <ivo> IntuitiveNipple: that will save a lot of re-packaging ;)
[18:43] <DjViper1> hi can anyone help me with ndiswrapper and broadcom 4306rev02 ?
[18:43] <IntuitiveNipple> ivo: The thing is, the 'x' permission usualyl infers the file is directly executable. In the case of a .desktop, without a shebang line, it won't be.
[18:43] <erUSUL> DjViper1: you should be using native b43 driver
[18:44] <DjViper1> erUSUL: doesnt work
[18:44] <erUSUL> DjViper1: did you installed b43-fwcutter ?
[18:44] <DjViper1> no

[18:44] <fiftyone> just me or is the chat unusually slow today?
[18:44] <nite_johnboy> Is Okular PDF reader the default .pdf reader in the KDE version of Ibex ? ?
[18:44] <erUSUL> DjViper1: ... well no wonder it does not work...
[18:44] <AETE_KRAOUD> hi
[18:45] <erUSUL> DjViper1: install the package (needs inet connection)
[18:45] <Num83rGuy> I am not certain what happened I turned om the computer this morning and no net no sound.
[18:45] <WebcamWonder> erUSUL: Quick question. Do you remember if the Hardware Drivers in Intrepid installs b43-fwcutter?
[18:45] <DjViper1> erUSUL: which pkg?
[18:45] <erUSUL> DjViper1: b43-fwcutter
[18:45] <erUSUL> WebcamWonder: no; i dunno i do not have a broadcom card
[18:45] <nickrud> Num83rGuy, start by looking in /var/log/dmesg ; see if some hardware wasn't recognized properly
[18:45] <IntuitiveNipple> ivo: Do you now which executable Gnome would need on the shebang line? I'm not sure... possibly nautilus?
[18:47] <ivo> IntuitiveNipple: I think the code that executes .desktop files is not in nautilus executable, it's in a library. Possibly libnautilus (if there is), but I'm not sure.
[18:47] <martin__> ooo
[18:48] <DjViper1> erUSUL: okay, installing it now
[18:48] <IntuitiveNipple> ivo: might be worth finding out and posting an example on the brainstorm page showing how it could work

[18:59] <alucardromero> Does Firefox have a default sound device setting that I could peek at?
[19:00] <kejava> more ... i've read that adding export http_proxy="http://some_address.com/proxy.pac" to .bashrc may be the only way to get proxy support in synaptic
[19:00] <martin__> any can help whit that >>>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/117863/
[19:00] <oCean__> alucardromero: too bad. Since it works for me (and lots of others) it's probably not the plugin that fails.

[19:05] <Out_Cold> Dat1, try pressing the greyed out unlock button
[19:05] <Jockeo> I just installed Ubuntu 8.10. When starting FireFox it is maximized so it overlaps the Ubuntu top and bottom panels (with the menu, system tray etc.). Also, the FireFox window doesn't have the standard window borders (it is chromeless). How can i fix this?
[19:05] <Dat1> Out_Cold: Nothing
[19:05] <[OES]> Thanks oCean__
[19:05] <gg1234> can someone help me?
[19:05] <carpii> Jockeo, try hitting F11, maybe its in fullscreen mode?
[19:05] <kejava> IntuitiveNipple: great link.  exactly what i was looking for :)
[19:06] <Dat1> Out_Cold:  I fear I've been hacked..
[19:06] <bigbrovar> kejava> cli command to use proxy u have to add export http_proxy=http://someproxyaddress: port number
[19:06] <Dat1> but there must be a way to remove the user if I have root pass
[19:06] <gg1234> need installation help
[19:06] <oCean__> fatbrain: the "adduser" is interactive. It wil (default) add the newuser to a primary group (with same name as the new user) like: "newuser" in group "newuser"

[19:07] <Out_Cold> Dat1, that may be the case, you should be checking firestarter for traffic reports.
[19:07] <job> I'm running Ubuntu 8.10
[19:08] <oCean__> [OES]: my instruction were for commandline ftp, not graphical. On commandline ftp (e.g. started with "ftp" or "ncftp") you would be able to enter "pa" as a command, once having started "ftp"
[19:08] <Dat1> Out_Cold: When I run "sudo userdel username"  I get "user doesn't exist"
[19:08] <bigbrovar> job> are u behind a proxy server ..seems like a wrong proxy server address
[19:08] <Jockeo> bigbrovar: Thanks for helping. This is very strange. It was not in fullscreen mode, but if I changed it to fullscreen mode and then changed it back, it looked normal. But when restarting FireFox it looks strange again.
[19:09] <[OES]> Sorry im new and dont understand
[19:09] <oCean__> [OES]: for example "ftp hostname" would open an ftp 'shell' to the specified host
[19:09] <see_plusplus> Whats is the difference between Ubuntu server 8.04 and 8.10? What does "LTS" mean vs. non "LTS"?

[19:09] <carpii> long term support
[19:09] <[OES]> Ok ill go have a read
[19:09] <[OES]> Thank you
[19:10] <oCean__> [OES]: at that point, and after entering your login credentials, your prompt changes into something like "ftp>"
[19:10] <bigbrovar> Jockeo> i guess am missing something but what exactly is the problem
[19:10] <Jockeo> see_plusplus: 8.10 is a newer version. However, 8.04 has "Long Time Support" (LTS) wich is good for some users.
[19:10] <fatbrain> oCean__: yes, I noticed, but the new user isn't allowed to run sudo commands.
[19:10] <[OES]> Am running as root
[19:10] <oCean__> fatbrain: for that, the new user should be added to the 'admin' group
[19:10] <see_plusplus> Jockeo, sooo...whats the difference? Why would anyone get 8.04 if 8.10 is better?
[19:10] <gg1234> can some one PM me so they can help me with my problem?
[19:11] <zash> I cant access new mail with dovecot after changing to maildirs, where did i fail?
[19:11] <oCean__> [OES]: it is never wise to run 'as root'. You can run commands 'sudo' when necessary
[19:11] <gartral> gg1234: what is your problem?
[19:11] <Jockeo> bigbrovar: If you want to you can login using view-only VNC. Or I can try to explain it here.
[19:11] <see_plusplus> bot?

[19:11] <usser> see_plusplus, support, lts is supported for 3 years, while normal releases get 1 year support
[19:11] <nickrud> see_plusplus, best for large installations; the desktop is supported for a long time
[19:12] <usser> see_plusplus, definetely
[19:12] <see_plusplus> usser, which one would be more secure? also - I was referring to the server...thanks!
[19:12] <bigbrovar> job> if your are behind a proxy the setting to connect directly is a bad idea ..
[19:12] <fatbrain> oCean__: thanks
[19:13] <usser> see_plusplus, if i were to choose i'd pick 8.04
[19:13] <oCean__> fatbrain: glad to be of some help :)
[19:13] <job> bigvrovar> hmm.. How to know if I'm behind a proxy or not..?
[19:13] <gartral> gg1234: restrat your computer with the disk in the cdrom, and use the partition manager from the live OS too shrink your NTFS drive and add room for the new partition

[19:15] <job> bigbrovar> i see.
[19:16] <job> bigbrovar> but if I'm behind a proxy and I select the connection option to 'directly connect to the internet' then I should not be able to get on line, right?

[19:19] <job> "Error parsing proxy URL http://:8080/: Invalid host name." Anybody has any idea about this? Please help..
[19:19] <Jockeo> bigbrovar: Thanks for helping me (and that you help others). I finally fixed it. I pressed F11 twice (to get the normal window), unmaximized, changed the window size and closed FireFox. Now it opens normally. (I don not know if the other mode was some strange mode or an actual bug, but it was not a normal maximized mode).
[19:20] <sam_> thanks Jockeo, I had the same problem, now it's fixed ;]
[19:21] <job> "Error parsing proxy URL http://:8080/: Invalid host name." Anybody has any idea about this? Please help..

[19:21] <Jockeo> sam_ and Out_Cold: Do you know the reason? Have you googled for it? Maybe we should file a bug?
[19:22] <Jockeo> (I googled but couldn't find it)
[19:22] <blackjak> hi guys
[19:22] <sam_> I did googled it too... nothing find =[
[19:22] <blackjak> what this does it mean  :
[19:22] <blackjak>  Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[19:22] <Out_Cold> i didn't know... it's easier for me to press f-11 twice than try that... i usually use lynx though.
[19:23] <oCean__> blackjak: use "sudo" running apt / aptitude / dpkg etc
[19:23] <Jockeo> blackjak: If you install software using Synaptic and "Add/Remove" at the same time, close one of the windows.
[19:23] <sirhc_> can anyone help me out... trying to set up an ATI USB remote model<PHONE_NUMBER> using gnome-lirc-properties

[19:24] <Jockeo> sam_: Is compiz included in the standard install? If it's not, then I don't use it.
[19:24] <kroisis> can anybody send me to an example of "dpkg-preconfigure" or "dpkg-configure" sending parameters to ipmasq without needing to be interactive? I've been googling it to death, no luck.
[19:24] <sam_> it's not

[19:25] <carandraug> Dat1: userdel ?
[19:25] <beast_> Dat1:  Can't you just remove them from /etc/passwd?
[19:25] <Titan8990> Dat1, its usually custommary to just lock the user account with:   sudo passwd -l USER
[19:25] <oCean__> !pastebin | job
[19:25] <Titan8990> Dat1, I recommend against beat_'s suggestion
[19:25] <Dat1> Thanks guys, I'll try those things
[19:26] <G-Bleezy> Hey where can i check to see if Ubuntu will work with my motherboard??
[19:26] <Titan8990> Dat1, but if you did you would also want to remove from /etc/shaddow and /etc/group
[19:26] <Out_Cold> Dat1, you tried deluser 'user'?
[19:26] <bigbrovar> oCean_: thanks
[19:26] <Schuenemann> how do I stop apache?
[19:26] <Dat1> Out_Cold: yes
[19:26] <cell> hi there, i wonder it that, is there any addon or program images or .iso's on the ubuntu.com? i didnt find yet. :(  Can anybody send all link to my pm?
[19:26] <oCean__> !hcl | G-Bleezy
[19:26] <Titan8990> Schuenemann, sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
[19:26] <blackjak> guys I need gtk+-2.0  However there are so many packets with similar name in the Synaptics.Which should I choose?
[19:26] <arvind_khadri> hi what was the bug reporting tool that had made its way into Ubuntu...
[19:26] <G-Bleezy> thank you ocean
[19:27] <Titan8990> cell, what kind of program images?
[19:27] <job> Thanks oCean__
[19:27] <carandraug> Dat1: there's a command to delete users. It's called userdel. Run "userdel user_login"
[19:27] <Schuenemann> Titan8990,  I still see the default page at localhost
[19:27] <Titan8990> Schuenemann, ps aux | grep apache
[19:27] <Dat1> carandraug: thanks I'll try it
[19:27] <Titan8990> Schuenemann, kill the PID of the apache proccesses
[19:27] <jrib> blackjak: you already have it
[19:28] <thechris> when attempting to reboot, i get garbled text and the computer seems to hang
[19:28] <thechris> flashing garbled text
[19:29] <job> bigbrova> I can't find the file 'apt.conf' in  /etc/apt/
[19:29] <qcjn> hi, i ve installed a puppy in /puppy410 and made the changes in grub. It worked, but when i got out, saved the files to hda3 and now my mouse won<t work anymore under ubuntu
[19:29] <Elda> Weeee my laptop is now set up using Win7/Ubuntu dualboot
[19:29] <arvind_khadri> job, its sources.list i guess you are talking about
[19:29] <Schuenemann> Titan8990,  it worked this time. Can you tell me which directory it reads files from?
[19:29] <cell> Titan8990, may be language pakage or especially english dictionary program. because i use limited internet.
[19:29] <qcjn> so i ve erase everything in /puppy410 but it desn t do the trick
[19:30] <darthanubis> whats the current stable kernel for ubuntu? Are we -12 yet or still -11?
[19:30] <Titan8990> Schuenemann, the default configdir is: /etc/apache2
[19:31] <Schuenemann> Titan8990,  I put a html file in /usr/share/apache2/default-site/ but I get a 404 error
[19:31] <job> arvind_khadri> I have this error "Error parsing proxy URL http://:8080/: Invalid host name.andale32.exe: No such file or directory"
[19:31] <Titan8990> Schuenemann, each vhost file will define the it's own rootdir for serving files
[19:31] <Elda> I am curious though, how come in setting my laptop up when I tried to define the partitions, how come it would not allow me to alter the partition with Win 7 installed? In that the first time I tried installing I tried to use the option where it shrunk the win 7 partition, and just dedicated the rest to linux.  Instead I had to format my entire partition and then go back and divide it into Windows 7, Ubuntu, and swap by hand
[19:31] <IntuitiveNipple> job: try a search for the bad entry using: grep -n '8080' /etc/apt/*
[19:31] <G-Bleezy> does anyone know if this motherboard should work with Ubuntu:  ASRock A780G
[19:31] <Elda> Okay Im thinking that got cut off... at what point did it?
[19:31] <Titan8990> Schuenemann, by default, its always somewhere in /var/www
[19:31] <LostChain> can anyone help me install xmms
[19:31] <bigbrovar> job> now check /settings/preference/network in synaptic and set it to direct internet
[19:32] <anxiolytic> Is it possible to stop Rhythmbox from indexing? Right now it's working fine but it's indexing my entire hard drive. Very annoying.. I want to cancel/stop it and just select specific folders
[19:32] <arvind_khadri> job, googled about it?
[19:32] <cell> hhere iis so complex :S
[19:32] <job> bigbrova> I did that. I did google it too. No good.
[19:32] <Schuenemann> Titan8990,  ahh, there it is. There is the same html in that dir, that confused me
[19:32] <Schuenemann> Titan8990,  thanks
[19:32] <Titan8990> Schuenemann, you really should do some research on apache and consider joining the apache channel
[19:32] <Titan8990> Schuenemann, np
[19:33] <LostChain> no matter what program i install on ubuntu i get stop errors when i do a make
[19:33] <Schuenemann> Titan8990,  yeah, I've used tomcat, but never apache alone
[19:33] <w00w> video problem with flash content any solution?
[19:33] <job> bigbrova> Please tell me first how to talk to you guys one by one. Say.. How to talk to just one of you at a time..
[19:33] <CRASH69> how can I have mumble 1.1.7 on ubuntu 8.04?
[19:33] <blackjak> Guys how do I do that ? No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
[19:33] <blackjak> > Please install (or upgrade to) GTK+ 2.6.0, at least.
[19:33] <job> bigbrova> I don't know even how to do that :p
[19:33] <LostChain> i got that error too
[19:33] <LostChain> you need glib too
[19:34] <LostChain> and then glib tells you that you need gettext
[19:34] <bigbrovar> did check /settings/preference/network in synaptic and set it to direct internet under synaptic
[19:34] <LostChain> and then gettext says it cant install
[19:34] <paganini> Hey all, I've encountered a really weird shell-script problem involving $PPID. Something has broken since an upgrade in the last few eeks, and I can't figure out what it is.
[19:34] <jrib> blackjak: tell us what you are compiling
[19:34] <paganini> Someone give me a PM if you'
[19:34] <paganini> re interested
[19:34] <LostChain> its an endless cycle
[19:34] <sam_> Does anybody knows is the ubuntu 9.04 version seems stable at the time ?
[19:34] <jrib> LostChain: why are you using make to install things...?
[19:35] <Elda> sam_, probably not
[19:35] <redvamp128> CRASH69:  There appears to be a package of mumble I found it on packages- so it should be in synaptic package manger - I did find this link Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- mumble <http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mumble&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all>
[19:35] <sam_> Elda, okay =s
[19:35] <LostChain> well thats what the install document says
[19:35] <Myrtti> !jaunty | sam_
[19:35] <letalis> sam_: its rare an os in beta is stable enough for main system use
[19:35] <LostChain> ./configure
[19:35] <LostChain> then make
[19:35] <LostChain> then make install
[19:35] <darthanubis> sam_, you'll get the same reply until it no longer beta
[19:35] <gartral> ok, ive picked up gg1234's problem, but the partioner doesnt recognise his second drive
[19:35] <FloodBot2> LostChain: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:35] <jrib> LostChain: why are you not using the repositories?
[19:35] <wolter> hi
[19:35] <wolter> how can i see which is the latest nvidia driver?
[19:35] <ndo> Hi guys. Euhm, a little question here.. Any advises on which editor to use to edit VBScript? ;)
[19:35] <wolter> i need 180.29 ..
[19:35] <LostChain> i dunno...what is that
[19:36] <job> IntuitiveNipple> I got this message after "grep -n '8080' /etc/apt/*" [19:36] <wolter> !who | LostChain
[19:36] <LostChain> ok
[19:36] <jrib> LostChain: in general, you never download and compile things to install them on ubuntu.  You use the APT to install software from the repositories.  Some frontends for APT are Add/Remove and Administration -> Synaptic in your menus
[19:37] <paganini> Man when did ubottu get to be such a self absorbed jackass? Its talking almost as much as everyone else put together!
[19:37] <paganini> It's, that is
[19:37] <tiger3723> allo
[19:37] <ScottG489> Whenever i try to increase the size of my movie it just increases the windows size not the actual picture. Im using mplayer.
[19:37] <arvind_khadri> !ohmy | paganini
[19:37] <ScottG489> Help?
[19:37] <LostChain> jrib: ok i will try that, but i am unsure how to do that
[19:37] <jrib> !synaptic | LostChain
[19:37] <Myrtti> paganini: it's a bot.
[19:37] <paganini> I know Myrtti
[19:38] <redvamp128> CRASH69:  did you get my link or is it lost in the messages? Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- mumble <http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mumble&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all>
[19:38] <paganini> it's just talking a lot more than it used to
[19:38] <jrib> LostChain: it should be a very very very rare thing for you to need to compile anything on ubuntu
[19:38]  * paganini hasn't been in for a while
[19:38] <paganini> cos everything has been running smoothly :)
[19:38] <ndo> So, noone here is familiar with VBScript? :)
[19:38] <letalis> paganini: honestly this is one of the more freindly linux communities that i have seen.
[19:39] <letalis> *friendly
[19:39] <job> IntuitiveNipple>I tried grep -n '8080' /etc/apt/* but still got no news..
[19:39] <vigo> ndo: I know a little Basic, and played with VB stuff for a while
[19:39] <gajop> i've got a script i want to be run at startup, (like other daemons), how do I do that?
[19:39] <Cassetti> Hello everyone!
[19:39] <mobo> Can someone in here help a linux noob out with a networking problem?
[19:39] <letalis> i Cassetti
[19:39] <gajop> it doesn't seem bum detects it, even though it's in /etc/init.d/
[19:39] <letalis> hi
[19:40] <paganini> latelis, I've been in the community since 5.04, so I'm familiar with the friendliness. Like I said, just noticing that the bot is... more talkative
[19:40] <LostChain> i am confused with this synaptic pakage manager
[19:40] <LostChain> how do i use it
[19:40] <ndo> vigo: Hi man, any advise on which editor would be good for it?
[19:40] <gajop> LostChain: what do you want to do with it?
[19:40] <LostChain> install xmms
[19:40] <bigbrovar> job> try asking .. seems to me you are behind a network proxy
[19:41] <Cassetti> Anyone able to offer some help with getting permissions to access my home directory on my ubuntu 7.04 from this live-cd intrepid ibex?
[19:41] <letalis> LostChain: goto a terminal ad type: sudo apt-get install xmms
[19:41] <Cassetti> I need to copy my home directory to a thumb drive, want to do a clean install of intrepid ibex
[19:41] <letalis> that would actually be aster
[19:41] <letalis> faster
[19:41] <vigo> ndo: I like gEdit, but for that stuff I use Notepad+
[19:41] <LostChain> Cassetti: have you tried logging on as root
[19:41] <njs_> My screen resolution won't go above 800x600, but I've seen in do 1280x1024 elsewhere. Anybody have any ideas?
[19:41] <CRASH69> redvamp128: the 8.04 hardy repository (even backports) only have 1.1.3, and when I enable the jaunty repository I get this http://pastebin.com/m64794afe
[19:41] <Cassetti> I'm running a live cd
[19:41] <jrib> LostChain: did you read the link ubottu  gave you?
[19:41] <bigbrovar> job> that problem usually comes up when wget tries to download msfonts through post 80 which as been blocked by a proxy server
[19:41] <Led_Zeppelin> Trying to install kde4 for Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy). When I login to Kde4 session, I get a blank screen. Any ideas how I can fix this?
[19:41] <Cassetti> i don't know how to
[19:42] <alwayssleepy> sorry to reask how do you disable system sound in linux, it makes a loud beep everytime i shutdonw
[19:42] <paganini> anyway, anyone have any idea why echo $PPID > /var/run/appname.pid in a bash shellscript stores the wrong PPID?
[19:42] <job> bigbrovar> Possibly. But last time I connect to the internet in this room there was nothing like this..
[19:42] <alwayssleepy> and it scares me
[19:42] <bigbrovar> job> i mean port 80 not post 80
[19:42] <mun> hi
[19:42] <vigo> ndo? Notetab is a free and open source editor, text, java, VB, HTML and more
[19:42] <alwayssleepy> mun hi
[19:42] <job> bigbrovar> Yes. It said something about msfonts too.
[19:42] <mun> in shell script, how do i check if a directory, e.g., /foo exists in an if statement?
[19:42] <Cassetti> Anyone able to help or is there another channel for that
[19:42] <gajop> LostChain: you should just go to the synaptic manager, it will ask you for sudo password, give it, then just type xmms2 and install it
[19:43] <LostChain> letalis: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[19:43] <LostChain> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[19:43] <bigbrovar> job> where are u browsing from a school or at home
[19:43] <Cassetti> Lost chain - are you running an update?
[19:43] <njs_> My screen res won't go above 800x600
[19:43] <gajop> LostChain: close synaptic package manager if you're installing it from terminal
[19:43] <LostChain> no
[19:43] <ndo> vigo: okay, ty, just was looking for something that would show correct highlighting :) ill try this one
[19:43] <rdw200169> mun, in the bash man page, they list all the tests you can do... the tests include things like if a file exists, etc...
[19:43] <gajop> LostChain: only one package-related application can be opet at any one time
[19:43] <letalis> LostChain: probably because synaptic is still open
[19:43] <job> bigbrovar> I have never had this problem before until I tried to get videos played in youtube and I tried to solve problems concerning Flash player plugins
[19:43] <Led_Zeppelin> mun: test -f /foo
[19:44] <thechris> so, anyone able to reboot their computer?
[19:44] <vigo> nod: here is the URL ,http://www.notetab.com/...it is buy Fookes and works great
[19:44] <letalis> LostChain: you cant use apt-get while another package manager is running
[19:44] <LostChain> yup that was it
[19:44] <mun> thanks
[19:44] <redvamp128> CRASH69:  I did find 1.1.5 for hardy though I don't know how you can get 1.1.6 at getdeb.net Application Information - Mumble <http://www.getdeb.net/app/Mumble>
[19:44] <LostChain> sybaptic was open
[19:44] <mobo> Got an odd problem here... connected to my school's wireless network a while back, named wireless.txstate.edu. I am back at home now on my wireless network, and I am trying to communicate with another box on the same network. I can obviously get online, but I seem to have some intranet networking errors...when I try to ping my second client (mythbox) I get this "mobo@entropy:~$ ping mythbox
[19:44] <mobo> PING mythbox.wireless.txstate.edu (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data.
[19:44] <mobo> 64 bytes from hit-nxdomain.opendns.com (<IP_ADDRESS>): icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=52.4 ms" ....so it looks like my PC (entropy) is tryiing to lookup the hostname mythbox using my router, using opendns, but I see the txstate wireless stuff in there, and I'm unsure why it is even appearing
[19:44] <FloodBot2> mobo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:44] <elementz> could somebody pls help me compiling this: http://www.hitl.washington.edu/artoolkit/documentation/usersetup.htm#comp_linux?
[19:44] <elementz> i get the following error message when running make http://pastebin.com/f4a54fc69
[19:45] <vigo> ndo: That one is highly configurable
[19:45] <elementz> sry, i messed up the first link:  http://www.hitl.washington.edu/artoolkit/documentation/usersetup.htm#comp_linux
[19:45] <bigbrovar> job> i get it too when am tryign to install flash plugins or msfonts .. but am behind a proxy server .. that is why am suggesting that u could be behind a proxy server without knowing it
[19:45] <redvamp128> CRASH69:  you should be able to get the .deb from getdeb for 1.1.5 of mumble but I don't know how you would get the 1.1.6- here is the link for 1.1.5 Application Information - Mumble <http://www.getdeb.net/app/Mumble>
[19:46] <CRASH69> redvamp128: 1.1.5 should be enough, but is ok to install from there?
[19:46] <job> bigbrovar> I get your point. What's puzzling is that I always connect to the internet from this place and there has never been this problem before until today.
[19:46] <letalis> elementz: looks like the linkage.h file is missing from linux/
