[02:57] <tsimonq2> sgmoore: For the record, I tried Solid when I first wrote this, didn't end up fitting. Great thought though. :)
[10:50] <santa_> hi everyone
[10:51] <santa_> sgmoore: welcome back
[11:02] <sgmoore> hi santa_ , thanks!
[11:03] <santa_> I guess you got already faimliar with KA, right?
[11:03] <santa_> * familiar
[11:33] <sgmoore> yep!
[11:34] <santa_> that's nice, I hope you noticed the evolution, a couple of comments just in case you don't know:
[11:35] <santa_> - docs are online here: https://kubuntu-automation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ (it's just a build of the sphinx docs which you can build yourself)
[11:36] <santa_> - from time to time I'm doing test rebuilds here: https://tritemio.org/
[11:37] <santa_> I hope to allocate some time to do some test rebuilds these days (but I'm in a complicated situation atm)
[11:37] <sgmoore> ok, yeah I built them locally, good to know
[11:38] <sgmoore> no worries, take care of yourself, we'll be here when things are less complicated :)
[11:39] <santa_> regarding the infra of tritemio, I have been doing some puppet code so you could replicate that infra at home
[11:39] <santa_> that's WIP and not finished yet, but some day it will
[11:39] <sgmoore> ok
[14:42] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[16:52] <RikMills> sgmoore: please join #ubuntu-qt


[15:37] <tomwardill> I am debugging bash
[15:37] <tomwardill> this is not a fun time
[15:37]  * pappacena echo. Echo everywhere...
[15:39] <tomwardill> 2020-06-04 15:39:37+0000 [Uninitialized] Connection to buildbot-master:9989 failed: Connection Refused
[15:40] <tomwardill> that's... progress
[15:42] <SpecialK|Canon> a _new_ error! :D
[15:42] <pappacena> haha. One step at a time...
[15:43] <SpecialK|Canon> then you end up running literally everything with `set -ex` at the top and just grepping over terminal output...
[15:43] <cjwatson> BTDT
[16:17] <tomwardill> A THING! https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/WUYV7QGs/image.png
[16:17] <tomwardill> it appears to be checking out git code...
[16:23] <tomwardill> attempting a build...
[16:23] <tomwardill> not done anything special with lxc scripts yet, so no idea how badly this will go
[16:23] <tomwardill> failed at the second step!
[16:24] <SpecialK|Canon> but passed the first step! nice :)


[07:17] <daniel_RO> hello everyone .. i'm looking to buy some linux related magazines in Prague.. can any of you provide some info ?


[10:29] <jynx> hi, ive just enabled xgl on ubuntu fiesty and dont have any window decorations. What command can i use?
[10:29] <realistik> rbash will fix it?
[10:29] <Inglor> dudeicles, check if you have the nvidia graphics driver properly installed
[10:29] <InZaNe> I want it on my ubuntu
[10:29] <Dr_willis> realistik,  there are extreme methods to lock down users. rbash = restricted bash.
[10:29] <dudeicles> how?
[10:29] <bascule> realistik: that locks things out a bit
[10:29] <kitche> jynx, install a window decorator sicne XGL is a server like X.org
[10:29] <curious101> astro76: whoa! I saw a plethora of packages I downloaded in /var/cache/apt/archives.
[10:29] <Dr_willis> rbash locks things down so much - the system may not be useable by that user for their needs.
[10:29] <InZaNe> or should I install from source
[10:29] <Inglor> InZaNe, just run the update manager, it should automatically change GAIM to pidgin, although there is really no difference
[10:30] <realistik> testing@pwnt:/etc$ cd /home/testing
[10:30] <realistik> rbash: cd: restricted
[10:30] <jynx> Kitch: how do i install a window decorator. im new to gnome
[10:30] <bascule> thata locked :)
[10:30] <InZaNe> hmm, didnt do that the first time, but ok
[10:30] <realistik> yea but the cd command is locked
[10:30] <realistik> lolz
[10:30] <Inglor> InZaNe, if you INSIST on getting it in particular you can always run "sudo apt-get install pidgin" which should work
[10:30] <InZaNe> l8er
[10:30] <Dr_willis> realistik,  thats what rbash is all about.
[10:30] <Dr_willis> realistik,  man rbash
[10:30] <bjwebb> curious101: i don't want to install from multiverse
[10:30] <kitche> jynx: install one emerald or anything else if your using compiz or beryl or compiz-fusion
[10:30] <Inglor> jynx, what do you mean by install a window decorator? like merald?
[10:31] <Inglor> *elerald
[10:31] <jynx> im not sure, ive just enabled xgl and have no decorations
[10:31] <Inglor> *emerald -_-
[10:31] <Inglor> jynx, what your'e looking for is a compositing manager, like beryl, compiz, or compiz fusion
[10:31] <curious101> bjwebb, what do you mean? you want to install it from the package you got from the official site?
[10:31] <dudeicles> Inglor: how do I check my card?
[10:31] <dudeicles> nvm
[10:31] <jynx> ok ill try and install compiz fusion, looks sweet
[10:31] <dudeicles> how do I tell if my driver is installed correctly
[10:31] <realistik> ok if I wanted each user to only be able to read his own home dir then I should chmod ??? /home
[10:31] <realistik> chmod what.
[10:32] <bjwebb> curious101: well i thought java was open source now, so why's it in multiverse
[10:32] <astro76> realistik, chown -R go-rwx /home/<user>/
[10:32] <bascule> realistik: no you have to remove the rest f the / folders read perms
[10:32] <Inglor> realistik, you can do it in the gui if it's confusing for you
[10:32] <seiflotfy> Random832: yes
[10:32] <realistik> ok
[10:32] <astro76> realistik, but to do what you want to do, you have to do that to all users
[10:32] <bascule> bascule: chmod 750 /* <- dangerous and run at own risk
[10:33] <Veinor> don't run chmod 750 /*
[10:33] <curious101> bjwebb: the java plugin, that is. it's in multiverse just like flash player.
[10:33] <Dr_willis> The users NEED permission for some directorys outside of their home. :)  you just need to lock down the other users dirs. to kepe them from each other.
[10:33] <bascule> no I wouldn't do it either ;)
[10:33] <Dr_willis> of coruse the user could still change it back
[10:33] <DarkMoon> does ubuntu support gravis eliminator usb gamepas?
[10:33] <bjwebb> curious101: hmm, i want to avoid propeitary stuff
[10:33] <PriceChild> bascule, please don't suggest that :)
[10:33] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  plug it in - check dmesg output. Try some simple game with joystick support
[10:34] <Inglor> realistik, wouldn't you rather let users choose what to share and what not to share? I'm pretty sure they can currently do that
[10:34] <bascule> PriceChild: I wss joking really, I know it would be naty
[10:34] <realistik> how do I run a gui as root if I can't sudo it
[10:34] <dudeicles> Inglor: how do I tell if my driver is installed correctly
[10:34] <PriceChild> bascule, please don't joke about
[10:34] <pookey> Hi all - does ubuntu have some kinda X configurator, or should I just be editing my own X config? I have a tri-head setup, and currently only 1 works ;)  I have a working x config from my old gentoo setup I can copy ifI need to, I'm just curious...
[10:34] <curious101> bjwebb: okay. but how would you be able to run and read files that pertain to java?
[10:34] <Inglor> realistik, gksudo apperantly :)
[10:34] <astro76> DarkMoon, I'd imagine, pretty much all USB devices will be supported, since they follow the HID standard
[10:34] <bascule> ok sorry, I marked it as dangerous though ;)
[10:34] <bascule> PriceChild: ^
[10:34] <tretle> let me guess
[10:34] <PriceChild> bascule, please don't write it... period,
[10:34] <bjwebb> curious101: i dunno, but like i say why is java dev kit open source, but plugin isn't?
[10:35] <ForMatter> I have usb bluetooth,how to make my ubuntu detect it and use it correctly?
[10:35] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  if its seen the    ls -l /dev/input/    command should show some js devices. set the game to use one of them
[10:35] <Stoffer> How do I change my gnome keyring password?
[10:35] <USMarine> Stoffer passwd
[10:35] <ForMatter> I have usb bluetooth,how to make my ubuntu detect it and use it correctly?
[10:36] <Stoffer> USMarine, that only changed the password for me logging in.  The keyring password didn't change.
[10:36] <astro76> Stoffer, you need to delete ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring
[10:36] <Stoffer> astro76, then restart gnome?
[10:36] <ForMatter> Astro:I have usb bluetooth,how to make my ubuntu detect it and use it correctly?
[10:36] <curious101> bjwebb: I don't know. Maybe Sun wants a centralized, working plugin. Otherwise, users would get confused as to what plugin to use.
[10:36] <astro76> Stoffer, shouldn't be necessary I don't think
[10:36] <bjwebb> curious101: i dunno
[10:37] <DarkMoon> Dr_willis:i type this ls -l /dev/input/ then what?
[10:37] <runge>  hi. does anybody remmeber the webpage with possible new ubuntu names for comming releases?
[10:37] <bjwebb> curious101: thanks anyway
[10:37] <Dr_willis> for testing of the jousticks try installing ----------->  sudo apt-get install joystick jscalibrator
[10:37] <Stoffer> astro76, ok, thanks
[10:37] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  you SEE some /dev/input/js0 type devices? if so then the stick is seen
[10:37] <astro76> Stoffer, are you setting up libpam-keyring ?
[10:37] <kitche> bjwebb, the plugin is actually part of the runtime environment
[10:37] <bascule> realistik: set 770 on each home folder but leave sys folders, they need to be readable for all applications to run at all
[10:37] <ForMatter> Everyone,help me..I have usb bluetooth,but how to make my ubuntu detect it and use it correctly?
[10:37] <curious101> bjwebb: because if there are many versions of the java plugin, people would get confused. Like if there are different flash players...
[10:37] <mykhul> firefox is slow when i browse myspace profiles that are huge.. what can i do?
[10:38] <bjwebb> curious101: lol, i use gnash
[10:38] <USMarine> mykhul google speed firefox
[10:38] <curious101> bjwebb: is gnash a java plugin? I didn't know that.
[10:38] <magnetron> mykhul: try a different browser, like epiphany-browser
[10:38] <dudeicles> mykhul: Stay away from myspace? LOL
[10:38] <DarkMoon> Dr_willis:i have tso
[10:38] <bjwebb> curious101: nah im refering to your comment bout flash
[10:38] <DarkMoon> ts0
[10:39] <curious101> bjwebb: oh I see. I use the official flash plugin.
[10:39] <daedalus_> kurtKraut: sorry man, i was reading those websites.... indeed, that was designed for macox
[10:39] <ForMatter> Bjwebb:how to make my usb bluetooth working?
[10:39] <astro76> !bluetooth | ForMatter
[10:39] <daedalus_> kurtkraut: but, how can you run in linux a program that is designed for macos? is that possible.
[10:39] <ubotu> ForMatter: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[10:40] <realistik> bascule: can I set /home to 770?
[10:40] <DarkMoon> Dr_willis:i have a "ts0".
[10:40] <realistik> and that would solve it?
[10:40] <bascule> realistik: yes
[10:40] <astro76> realistik, please use the command I gave you
[10:40] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  i got a js0
[10:40] <Veinor> realistik: 770 is probably a bad idea
[10:40] <astro76> realistik, chown -R go-rwx /home/<user>/
[10:40] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  no idwea what a ts0 may be.
[10:40] <bascule> realistik: it means the owner of that folder can read and write but not others, there is a groups issue too,if all users belong to the same group it makes it still readable
[10:40] <Veinor> realistik: use chmod -R go-rwx /home/<user>/, not chmod -R 770 /home/<user>/
[10:41] <Veinor> if you set it to 770 then everything becomes executable, which can be bad.
[10:41] <DarkMoon> Dr_willis:i have no input named js0.
[10:41] <bascule> Veinor: dirs have to be executable
[10:41] <Veinor> yes, but not the individual files within them.
[10:41] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  looks like its not seen the gamepad then. check dmesg, unplug/plug it back in. check again
[10:41] <Veinor> like my documents don't have to be executable :P
[10:41] <Dr_willis> DarkMoon,  may have to google for the spefific gamepad ya got and see if you need to makually load a module for it.
[10:41] <curious101> 4 = read; 2 = write; 1 = execute....... 4+2+1 = read, write, execute.
[10:42] <bascule> Veinor: I wasn't saying chmod -R just chmod the top /home/* folders
[10:42] <Veinor> oh, right.
[10:42] <ForMatter> !Bluetooth
[10:42] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[10:42] <realistik> ok thanks
[10:42] <realistik> that works.
[10:42] <furenku> hello!! i am not getting headphones sound out of my dell inspiron 1520!!!
[10:42] <stefg> shocking !!!!!!!!
[10:42] <bascule> realistik: Veinor but if all users are part of user group that won't work
[10:43] <curious101> furenku, maybe your sound card isn't recognized in the first place.
[10:43] <tarelerulz> I have gxine player and it plays an dvd ,but I can't hear any sound.  I think the on board sound works ,but my friend may not look it up so I want to use my usb sound card how would I do that ? by the way mplayer and totem use my usb soundcard  ,but not gxine
[10:43] <karel> Can someone please give me a hand getting hibernate to work? Problem is probably related to the swap file.
[10:43] <Veinor> bascule: all i'm saying is that you don't recursively chmod 770; go-rwx works fine.
[10:43] <furenku> curious: this is the issue, alsa has no drivers for this specific model; do you think this can't be fixed?
[10:43] <DarkMoon> Dr_willis:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38392/plain/
[10:43] <bascule> Veinor: sure I know this :)
[10:43] <bobgill> I want to set up my Feisty box so I can SSH into it from an XP/Vista laptop... anyone ?
[10:44] <astro76> bobgill, install openssh-server
[10:44] <realistik> I installed shorewall thinking it was a gui. What is a gui firewall I can install?
[10:44] <astro76> realistik, firestarter
[10:44] <MrPink> is it possible to create a guest user without a password (or a password that doesn't have to be 6 letters long) That basically can only run programs but not change anything ?
[10:44] <stefg> karel: do you have a swap *partition* that is bigger than your ram ?
[10:44] <Jack_Sparrow> realistik: As long as you understand that isnt a firewall, just an iptable manager
[10:44] <timewriter> hi
[10:44] <curious101> furenku: i have no idea.
[10:45] <aguitel> anyone have problem with fan in laptop ?
[10:45] <ConfidentiaL> which is better to use, the nvidia driver from the restricted drivers manager, or the nvidia driver from their website? Graphics driver...
[10:45] <timewriter> anyone installed X-Fi drivers on ubuntu ?
[10:45] <USMarine> aguitel nop
[10:45] <karel> stefg: yes, please take a look at here: http://karel.awardspace.com/FPD/?path=/Rest, although it says swap TOO small, I think it is related to not seeing the swap or so
[10:45] <MaximLevitsky> I have a problem with SoundConverter
[10:45] <bobgill> astro76: ok, I just did... now what do I do to use it?
[10:45] <USMarine> ConfidentiaL the one from the package manager

[10:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about x-fi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:45] <devilsreject> alright soo i read online that streamripper rips streaming online video into a music file that is read as a video.. can i then convert that to an iso to burn and watch?????
[10:45] <kitche> ConfidentiaL, well depends on your card but they are pretty much the same thing but hte one on nvidia is a bit newer for the 8xxx series cards

[10:46] <astro76> MrPink, any user who is not in the admin group can't sudo, hence can't affect anything outside their user directory
[10:46] <astro76> bobgill, just use putty or other windows ssh client to connect
[10:46] <devilsreject> im just trying to figure out how to make a burnable iso file out of a downloaded stream file which from what i understand the only prgram to do this in ubuntu is streamripper
[10:46] <devilsreject> right??
[10:46] <Balaams_Miracle> I have some persistent errors in some inodes on my harddisk, is there a way i can find out which files use these inodes?
[10:46] <MrPink> astro76 so is it possible to create a user "guest" with either no password or password "guest" that can login to my system in the Login Screen ?
[10:46] <USMarine> devilsreject k3b ?
[10:46] <bascule> devilsreject: do you have the file on your local hdd? what format is it?
[10:47] <stefg> karel: i can't fully see what's going on, but my impression is that the kernel looks for the wrong partition to et iss hibernation file
[10:47] <astro76> MrPink, I'd probably at least pick a password and write it down if you must
[10:47] <karel> stefg: I believe that's exactly what's going on
[10:48] <boubbin> im going to install my system again and use own partiotions for "everything" (/proc /var /etc /dev) etc.. how big the partiotions should be, is there a tuto for this or something ?
[10:48] <bobgill> astro76: ok I am using Putty on my networked XP machine... it's in, and I am in the terminal... but how would I transfer files from the Feisty over to XP machine using SSH? is that possible?
[10:48] <devilsreject> bascule and usmarine -- i am trying to learn to save a video file from online streaming...after reading online it said i could use streamripper in ubuntu and that it will save the video file as some kind of realtime audio file but will still hold the video contents.. my question is if i can convert this file to an iso with DeVeDe and burn it so i can watch it on my dvd player before i go through all the trouble of conv
[10:48] <devilsreject> erting the file and all
[10:48] <astro76> bobgill, use winscp
[10:48] <bascule> bobgill: /proc on it's own partition is needless
[10:48] <Flannel> bobgill: you can't use a separate partition for /etc, but why do you want to split it up so finely?
[10:49] <MrPink> astro76 well its basically that I want a possible user for anybody that sits at my computer... and if possible no passwd at all
[10:49] <MaximLevitsky> I am running ubuntu in VM, and I access host (Linux kubuntu) via SMB. I open few wav  files on host and try to convert then with this program, I set up SoundConverter to write to home directory, and I do have write access to host via SMB, but still it complains about beeing unable to _write_ to host smb directory.
[10:49] <boubbin> Flannel bascule well everything else tyhat can be put to partitions.
[10:49] <Dr_willis> winscp is a must have tool for linux <-> windows friendlyness. :) and putty and xming.
[10:49] <Man_id_Unknown> I have a dll (made with gcc) question. For anyone with gcc experience.
[10:49] <MaximLevitsky> What to do?
[10:49] <Flannel> boubbin: Why are you interested in that?
[10:49] <stefg> karel: there's some boot parameters to define what partition holds the hibernation file... it's just that i can't remember, because it works too well here
[10:49] <Veinor> MrPink: it's possible to create a user "guest"
[10:49] <stefg> !suspend | karel
[10:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:49] <karel> stefg: The UUID reference in /etc/fstab was wrong, fixed it and it seems to be fixed still, but it changed again some time ago
[10:50] <boubbin> Flannel well i just think its beter that way. and i can use some opf the dirs with other distros too..
[10:50] <Man_id_Unknown> I have a dll (made with gcc) question. For anyone with gcc experience.
[10:50] <bascule> devilsreject: just try it ...
[10:50] <boubbin> Flannel and thats not the point, i just want to do it :)
[10:50] <mirak> I want sound juicer to extract ogg quality 7, how do I do that ? I can't find documentation on the setting
[10:50] <astro76> bobgill, the most separation you would possibly ever want is /, /boot, /usr, /usr/local, /opt, /tmp, /var, /home ... but never /etc, /bin, or /sbin
[10:50] <Veinor> MrPink: though you have to give it a password; it won't let you not have one.
[10:50] <MrPink> Veinor without a password ? And how do I do that?
[10:50] <boubbin> astro76 my name is boubbin not bobgill  :)
[10:50] <Man_id_Unknown> A program of mine can't find a shared library in the same directory.
[10:50] <MrPink> Veinor and it has to be a password with 6 characters ?
[10:50] <MrPink> so I can't chose "guest" "guest"
[10:50] <devilsreject> k tanx
[10:51] <boubbin> astro76 ok so how about the sizes ?
[10:51] <Veinor> MrPink: System->Administration->Users and Groups->Add User
[10:51] <stefg> karel: maybe this helps http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=471855&highlight=suspend
[10:51] <curious101> MaximLevitsky: same issue here. I'm still triying to find out the answer.
[10:51] <Veinor> then fill in the username and password fields; pick a 6-character password.
[10:51] <Veinor> once you're done, open up a terminal and type 'sudo passwd guest' (replace guest with the username you made)
[10:51] <astro76> boubbin, http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/disk-partitioning.html
[10:52] <boubbin> thanks
[10:52] <minimec> MrPink: You can by adding a user on a console with 'sudo adduser guest'
[10:52] <Veinor> or do that.

[10:52] <astro76> boubbin, I generally just do /home /tmp and /var
[10:52] <MrPink> minimec and that can be a user without a password or with a password shorter then 6 chars ?
[10:52] <Man_id_Unknown> Help: A program of mine can't find a shared library in the same directory.
[10:53] <Veinor> mrpink: it has to have a password, but it can be just one letter
[10:53] <kitche> Man_id_Unknown, you have to put the hared library wherer the system can see it
[10:53] <MrPink> aha yes I can... thanks alot Veinor and Minimec it worked
[10:53] <minimec> MrPink: You will have to fill out some kind of text wizard, where you can choose the password.
[10:53] <Man_id_Unknown> kitche: How so, Sir?
[10:53] <bascule> minimec: gconf-editor
[10:53] <boubbin> astro76 so what is the benefit in creating those ?
[10:53] <kitche> Man_id_Unknown, or use LD_LIBRARY_PRELOAD= to load the library first I believe that is the variable
[10:53] <MrPink> how can I change the user in the terminal ?
[10:54] <magnetron> Man_id_Unknown: put the lib in /usr/local/lib
[10:54] <minimec> MrPink: shorter than 6 letters ...
[10:54] <bascule> mimec /system/gstreamer-0.19/audio/profiles/cdlossy
[10:54] <Man_id_Unknown> magnetron: Do I need root permission?
[10:54] <bascule> gstreamer-0.10
[10:54] <karel> stefg: apt-get can't resolve the host to download it, but apart from that, how do I check what my swap partition SHOULD be?
[10:54] <MrPink> minimec yeah thanks I created a Guest user now... is there a way to change the user in the terminal, to test it ?
[10:54] <boubbin> astro76 actually im only interested why to make /var separate partition ?
[10:54] <stefg> !uuid | karel
[10:54] <ubotu> karel: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  sudo blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[10:54] <bobgill> I have a home network on a router, so IPs are of course 192.168.x.x, what can I do to make a static IP on each networked computer (have 2) so I can connect to them from work ??
[10:54] <Man_id_Unknown> magnetron: why won't it work in the exact same directory?
[10:55] <deebo> anyone able to help me with my mdadm raid?
[10:55] <deebo> mdadm: failed to add /dev/sdb1 to /dev/md0: Invalid argument
[10:55] <deebo> keep getting this shit
[10:55] <karel> stefg: the uuid there is wrong
[10:55] <bascule> minimec: alternatively use grip
[10:55] <astro76> boubbin, /home /tmp and /var are the only directories that are written to generally, except of course when installing software or configuration in /etc
[10:55] <karel> stefg: or it doesn't exists..
[10:55] <DarkMoon> jack_sparrow:you know anything about usb game controllers?
[10:55] <minimec> MrPink: su guest
[10:55] <izm91> how can i reboot my cdrom drive, without rebooting my computer?
[10:56] <curious101> deebo: it should be something like /dev/sdb1 /mnt/md0
[10:56] <karel> stefg: I thought /dev/sda5 was my swap partition
[10:56] <HalphaZ> bhu
[10:56] <boubbin> astro76 ok
[10:56] <HalphaZ> what is the italian chan of buubntu?

[10:56] <bascule> izm91: hdparm -w /dev/scd? <-- why though?
[10:57] <izm91> bascule: it's kind of frozen.. i think it is having a problem reading the disc, and all operations hang on it.
[10:57] <ItchyHoBo> hi

[10:57] <ItchyHoBo> i deleted all the files in my /tmp folder

[10:58] <karel> stefg: that's what the line of blkid says btw, /dev/sda5
[10:58] <ItchyHoBo> now the systems says my session lasted fro <10
[10:58] <ItchyHoBo> and logs me out
[10:58] <boubbin> is it possible to make dualboot with 2 lionux distros ?
[10:58] <kane77> i just downloaded iso, but the md5sum differs from the one that is on the page.. do I have to redownload? (the download in firefox stalled so I used wget -c)
[10:58] <bascule> boubbin: yes easily
[10:58] <HalphaZ> hi...
[10:58] <HalphaZ> i've a little problem
[10:58] <stefg> karel: so your swap doesn't have a UUID ?
[10:58] <HalphaZ> that isn't so little

[11:01] <bascule> oh well stick a pin in the hole then ;)
[11:02] <izm91> bascule: cdrom light just blinks defiantly.
[11:02] <bascule> izm91: ^
[11:02] <izm91> bascule: :(  heh

[11:02] <Vadi> My friend is having trouble installing java, we tried pretty much every guide and it's still not working. Can anyone help?
[11:02] <curious101> kane77: cause if the md5sum doesn't match, it's quite a risk.
[11:02] <ItchyHoBo> deleted every file in the /tmp folder system doesnt let me log in :( help please anyway to fix it ?
[11:02] <Xero> How would I go about associating a program with ftp://, git://, etc.?
[11:02] <ItchyHoBo> Vadi i can
[11:02] <bascule> izm91: it has worked for me (hdparm -w) many ties worth a go
[11:02] <magnetron> Xero: use the gconf-editor
[11:02] <ItchyHoBo> do u need JDK or JRE?
[11:02] <Vadi> jre
[11:02] <ItchyHoBo> hmm...
[11:02] <deebo> bah, fuck this old hardware, ill just buy nwe hardware for the server, this old stuff clearly aint working
[11:03] <Xero> !ohmy | deebo

[11:03] <KleRoi> hello everyone, i have a problem.. i'm trying to run a windows software on ubuntu using wine but it shows always on top of everything... is there a command line to minimize it in the tray icon or make it go away ?
[11:03] <ItchyHoBo> search sysnaptic for jre?
[11:03] <Vadi> Okay
[11:03] <magnetron> KleRoi: please read about that windows app in appdb.winehq.org
[11:03] <Walkermag> Anyone have idea how to setup a RAID0 array in Ubuntu?
[11:03] <Man_id_Unknown> magnetron: I put the library in /usr/local/lib and it still couldn't find/load it.
[11:03] <Walkermag> I'm about to lose my mind over it.

[11:03] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[11:03] <KleRoi> i tried magnetron but it's not listed there

[11:04] <Walkermag> Er.
[11:04] <zombie_monkey> I want to run a DOS game under ubuntu; in the add/remove interface I can find "dosemu"; the thing I used under windows, dosbox, I can find in synaptic
[11:04] <magnetron> KleRoi: then you are possibly the FIRST person to run that software in Wine. so there's a reason it doesn't run well in Wine
[11:04] <Walkermag> What i need is software RAID.
[11:05] <ItchyHoBo> hi zombie monkey
[11:05] <zombie_monkey> should I try dosemu first and only try dosbox if dosemu fails?
[11:05] <Jordan_U> ItchyHoBo, In what way will it not let you log in? Does it give an error?
[11:05] <ItchyHoBo> u should try dosbox
[11:05] <ItchyHoBo> yeah
[11:05] <stefg> !info dosbox

[11:07] <Walkermag> Could someone walk me through setting up LVM?
[11:07] <Walkermag> I'm pretty much lost.
[11:07] <Jordan_U> !anyone | cables_malo
[11:07] <ubotu> cables_malo: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[11:07] <bascule> Man_id_Unknown: just run it solong as that is in ldconfig search pathh all will be well
[11:07] <joshritger> I am trying to convert some of my mp3's to a lower bitrate to put on my mp3 player. Soundconverter doesn't want to work so I found soundkonverter which works, but the problem i have is that soundkonverter uses ID3v1 where my mp3 player uses ID3v2. How can I convert the files and keep the ID3v2 tags
[11:07] <bascule> Man_id_Unknown: and that dir will be

[11:10] <ItchyHoBo> what happened Walkermag?
[11:10] <Man_id_Unknown> bascule: Sorry, I mean shared library. I do both win & lin, and get the terms mixed.
[11:11] <magnetron> Walkermag: did you try to google for "ubuntu lvm" ?
[11:11] <cables_malo> is it possible that the patch for spca5xx is old and already in the new source?
[11:11] <Man_id_Unknown> bascule: Any suggestions?
[11:11] <Walkermag> Bah, After reasearching for 2 days straight.
[11:11] <bascule> hmmm, ldocnfig should find and register it, run it -v see if it says anything useful

[11:19] <curious101> ItchyHoBo: "useradd [name_of_user]  -p [password] "
[11:19] <Evanlec> ShockSMX, probly requires password
[11:19] <chemturion> ItchyHoBo: Go under system > then Administration > then Users and groups

[11:19] <curious101> ShockSMX: what happened?
[11:19] <chemturion> Anyone know what I should use to sync a local folder with a network location?
[11:20] <ItchyHoBo> bye 4 5 mins

[11:20] <ShockSMX> curious101: "sorry, couldn't display all the contents of 'share'"
[11:20] <chemturion> awesome thanks
[11:20] <Ashfire908> chemturion: take a look at it's man ifle
[11:21] <curious101> ShockSMX: ah, so it has something to do with permissions. The command line equivalent would be smbclient //servername/share -U <username or Administrator>
[11:21] <ShockSMX> i'm gonna take a look at this, see if it has answers for me: http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/linux_as_a_client_to_windows_smb_shares.html
[11:21] <ItchyHoBo> it says could not lock password file
[11:21] <SeanTater> Ashfire908: i Most times you can configure it via GUI (I don't know on gnome though). If nothing else, read up on the command "route"
[11:22] <ItchyHoBo> wow i guess /tmp is important
[11:22] <Walkermag> Alright
[11:22] <bascule> ItchyHoBo: sudo useradd newuser && passwd newuser
[11:22] <Walkermag> Tried a How-To
[11:22] <Walkermag> And failed.
[11:22] <bascule> that is weird ...
[11:22] <ItchyHoBo> aha
[11:23] <rafaelscj> ItchyHoBo, system > admin > users and groups
[11:23] <n-iCe> Hi how Do i ping my localhost everty 30 mintues ? to don't get dc
[11:23] <bascule> rafaelscj: dunno if he can get it ...
[11:24] <Jordan_U> ItchyHoBo, everything in /tmp gets removed when you reboot, and most of it is files that are not particularly critical... but not all of it, and deleting everything in it while booted is a bad idea
[11:24] <magnetron> n-iCe: if you ping localhost, the ping will go on the loopback interface, not the lan
[11:24] <bascule> Jordan_U: is /tmp  deleted on reboot? it is on some distros not others
[11:24] <ar8ri> hi, i've got problems installing ubuntu 7.04 can anybody help me pls?

[11:24] <magnetron> !ask | ar8ri
[11:24] <ubotu> ar8ri: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:24] <n-iCe> magnetron and i'll get dc right? ok ill ping my public ip then, but how?
[11:24] <Ashfire908> SeanTater: thanks
[11:25] <jstarcher> how can I make a video DVD of an avi file with lossless quality? I tried converting it to mpeg first with ffmpeg but the quality is not as good even if I jack the settings way up

[11:25] <Vadi> Sorry to bother, but is anyone an expert on getting java to work with firefox? I'm trying to help a friend, and I'm out of ideas now. Nothing works.
[11:25] <magnetron> n-iCe: pinging your public IP won't help either. instead, you ping SOMEONE ELSE'S ip
[11:25] <n-iCe> magnetron well i'll ping someone elses ip, how ?
[11:26] <Itchyhobo> love u guys thanks a bunch
[11:26] <magnetron> n-iCe: use the ping command and run it every 30 minutes
[11:26] <Itchyhobo> new user is here and running
[11:26] <rafaelscj> n-iCe, google.com
[11:26] <bascule> woot!!
[11:26] <gnomefreak> Nookie^: ping ipaddresstoping
[11:26] <Itchyhobo> is this new user an admin like my previous user
[11:26] <n-iCe> magnetron but I want it to do it by itself like a timer
[11:26] <Itchyhobo> ?
[11:26] <bascule> oh that could be an issue ...
[11:27] <Itchyhobo> well u learn everyday
[11:27] <Vadi> Nobody to help with a java install?
[11:27] <Itchyhobo> ok buddy
[11:27] <Itchyhobo> since i got my gnome back
[11:27] <Vadi> Because the user pretty much gave up on Ubuntu now, sadly.
[11:27] <mattuk_> Vadi: have you used automatix? I used that and it worked a treat
[11:27] <Nookie^> hi! is it posible to use 16x16 icons in panel even if the panel size is set to 30px. "for gnome"?
[11:27] <Itchyhobo> let me help u vadi
[11:27] <Vadi> No.

[11:28] <mattuk_> gnomefreak: how come? I found it in the Ubuntu Guide
[11:28] <n-iCe> Ok, are seconds ?
[11:28] <rafaelscj> n-iCe, yes
[11:28] <Vadi> mattuk: it's not recommended by the official ubuntu people
[11:28] <whatspy> hi, I happen to help a bunch of friends by correcting their homeworks, normally I have to ask them to print the documents because the corrections are instantly visible and comparable to the mistakes. is there software that allows to alter a document in a "corrective" fashion?
[11:28] <gnomefreak> mattuk_: its not supported and it has been known to break more pcs than it has helped
[11:28] <Vadi> no idea what guide you used, it's not too great
[11:28] <razer> if you try to install a new bios and wen you hawe done it the screen is all balack no bios... what shos i do?
[11:28] <gnomefreak> mattuk_: see !automatix
[11:28] <n-iCe> thank you rafaelscj
[11:28] <Itchyhobo> hmm..
[11:28] <mattuk_> gnomefreak: fair enough, had no probs here but thanks
[11:28] <mattuk_> !automatix
[11:28] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[11:28] <Itchyhobo> i guess u will have to ask the experts then
[11:29] <Vadi> itchy - firefox simply isn't detecting java
[11:29] <gnomefreak> !worksforme | mattuk_
[11:29] <ubotu> mattuk_: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok.

[11:29] <tarelerulz> I have computer with 2 ethnet card and one It hooked up to the net and the other is hook to my other computer I was wondering if there was way to set up ubuntu so one of my computer could get the net though the other one that has net
[11:29] <Vadi> that's what I'm trying to do.
[11:29] <bascule> rafaelscj: never knew that, must read man pages more :)
[11:29] <ar8ri> how can i change my screen resolution ?
[11:29] <rafaelscj> n-iCe, you're welcome
[11:29] <Vadi> Oh well, I'll give up too.
[11:29] <bascule> tarelerulz: sure it's possible but needs some firewall configing
[11:29] <mattuk_> My apologies, thanks for clearing it up
[11:29] <rafaelscj> bascule, :)
[11:29] <jrib> Vadi: did you install sun-java6-plugin?
[11:29] <Vadi> Yes.
[11:30] <laptap16> hello
[11:30] <Vadi> It's not linking to firefox right somehow.
[11:30] <jrib> Vadi: and restart your browser?
[11:30] <Vadi> Yeah
[11:30] <razer> if you try to install a new bios and wen you hawe done it the screen is all balack no bios... what shos i do?
[11:30] <fat_rat> when i plug my creative travelsound speakers to my laptop i can't hear anything, my sound card is realtek ac97 audio for via
[11:30] <Xero> ar8ri is having a problem with screen resolution. He/she can't change it through the GUI. Can someone please explain to him/her how to do this, because I don't really know.
[11:30] <jrib> Vadi: pastebin the output of the following command:  apt-cache policy sun-java6-plugin && ls -l /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
[11:30] <tarelerulz> bascule , I understand for security reason you need that ,but  Is hard to do that period ?
[11:31] <gnomefreak> razer: its extreamly hard if not almost impossible to recover from a messed up bios flash other than getting it from another pc and trying again
[11:31] <bascule> tarelerulz: I only roughly know the basics but you forward packets through the linux machine, there will be a stack of HOWTOS on it
[11:32] <Kanuha> ar8ri, you may need to edit your xorg.conf file
[11:32] <rafaelscj> !resolution
[11:32] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:32] <ShockSMX> curious101: turns out i don't have smbfs
[11:32] <bascule> tarelerulz: you basically have to use firewall/netfilter to do it on linux, allows for massive control and flexibilty of course
[11:32] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, mpeg 2 is lossy, no way around it
[11:32] <razer> gnomefreak, how do i flash the bios when the screen is black
[11:32] <mattuk_> ar8ri: what resolution are you trying to get?
[11:32] <Vadi> jrib: actually, I had him search for sun-java6-plugin in synaptic, and the package doesnt even come up! Uh oh
[11:32] <ar8ri> i have problems even during installation
[11:32] <gnomefreak> razer: flashing bios = trying to upgrade them
[11:32] <fat_rat> when i plug my creative travelsound speakers to my laptop i can't hear anything, my sound card is realtek ac97 audio for via i'm running dapper anyone have an idea?
[11:32] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, ( DVD's use Mpeg 2 )
[11:33] <jrib> Vadi: is he using the amd64 version of ubuntu?
[11:33] <ar8ri> 1280*12003
[11:33] <ar8ri> 1280*1200
[11:33] <Vadi> He's on a dual-core processor, yes
[11:33] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, is there a way to make it near lossless?
[11:33] <Vadi> So I guess amd64
[11:33] <ndube> dual-core is not necessarily 64 nit
[11:33] <ndube> bit
[11:33] <jrib> Vadi: well guessing isn't really helpful.  Why can't your friend just join here?
[11:33] <martman> i just copied a massive amont of data between 2 drives(around 200 gigs). when ti finished i went to shutdown my computer. its been shutting down for a few mins now, usual really quick
[11:33] <martman> could it be finishing the copy? or did it hang?
[11:33] <Vadi> Good point, moment
[11:33] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, How bad are the artifacts you are seeing, can you give a screenshot / example?
[11:33] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, does the intenal speark work?
[11:33] <razer> gnomefreak, do i only hawe to download anather bios and put the floppy in and restart the comp?
[11:33] <Naisenu> Hey. My 250GB NTFS storage drive is missing in Ubuntu. It should be /media/hdb1/ It was there yesterday. It is not there today. Rebooted in between to the Windows side and came back. But did not do anything to that drive.
[11:34] <gnomefreak> razer: you cant was the point this is why people have old version of bios on thier system most of time, unless you know exactly what to do or love headaches. best way i have found to help would be call the support system for your PC
[11:34] <bascule> martman: could be syncing the disks, but leave it a while longer before killing the power
[11:34] <ndube> is it mounted?
[11:34] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: yes it works
 k, thanks
[11:34] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, no artifacts, just the movie is not as clear
[11:34] <myusrnm> After installing ubuntu, i came accross a little snag, an obstacle that i don't know how to solve. How do i use my ipod?
[11:34] <Jordan_U> Naisenu, Did windows happen to crash or be shut down improperly?
[11:34] <bascule> !ipod
[11:34] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[11:34] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, Define clear
[11:34] <razer> gnomefreak, ok.. thanx
[11:34] <myusrnm> thanks, bascule
[11:35] <bascule> welcome
[11:35] <Naisenu> Jordan_U: No, but Ubuntu refused to restart. It crashed the X Session.
[11:35] <PvtRyan> How do I kill X so I can just work with the CLI?
[11:35] <Vadi> add
[11:35] <Naisenu> Jordan_U: So I used the old reboot button on the front of the PC itself.
[11:35] <hacknslash> razer: you could try making a bootable floppy to flash the bios
[11:35] <Vadi> oops
[11:35] <bascule> PvtRyan: sudo killall gdm
[11:35] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, I have the same card. wait a moment
[11:35] <bascule> PvtRyan: it won't ask twice so be ready
[11:36] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: ok
[11:36] <Jordan_U> Naisenu, Then the NTFS drive might have been labeled unclean since it was not unmounted properly, booting into windows should fix it if that is the problem IIRC
[11:36] <myusrnm> i prefer songbird to amarok, is there any way to use that with an ipod?
[11:36] <razer> hacknslash, so the motherbord knows thet it shod boot from floppy? even if it dosent hawe anny bios now
[11:36] <Naisenu> Jordan_U: I have booted into Windows and then back into Ubuntu. And even rebooted Ubuntu.
[11:37] <PvtRyan> bascule: Thanks..  This is a pretty low end system and I think upgrades will be much faster from there..
[11:37] <Ashfire908> how do i get ubuntu to go and get the dns servers?
[11:37] <bascule> !rockbox > bascule
[11:37] <Vadi> jrib: Cieran is the one with the problems
[11:37] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, double-click on volume's icon at tray
[11:37] <hacknslash> razer: it's worth a shot
[11:37] <ndube> ashfire908: what dns servers?
[11:37] <darkangel_> hello i just installed xchat is it working
[11:37] <jrib> Cieran: did you install the 64bit version of ubuntu?
[11:37] <bascule> PvtRyan: probably, lots of uncompressing will appreciate more ram
[11:37] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: got it
[11:37] <Cieran> Er...Yes, I believe so
[11:37] <PvtRyan> bascule: I have 64.
[11:37] <PvtRyan> lol
[11:37] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, so, edit > pref
[11:37] <Jordan_U> Naisenu, Ok, is it listed in your fstab?
[11:38] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: yes i got it
[11:38] <Naisenu> Jordan_U: Is that just open a terminal and type "fstab"?
[11:38] <Jordan_U> Naisenu, If so what happens when you run "sudo mount -a" ( pastebin the output if any )
[11:38] <bascule> PvtRyan: ouch, well try xfce or the minimilistic fluxbox for desktops
[11:38] <Cieran> jrib: Er...Yes, I believe so
[11:38] <bascule> :)
[11:38] <Red-Sox> hello...where could I find a guide for getting started (updating sources.list, installing flash, etc.)
[11:38] <Ashfire908> ndube: erm, does the router push the dns servers out or does the gateway?
[11:38] <Jordan_U> Naisenu, No, it's a file, /etc/fstab
[11:38] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, mark every tracks
[11:38] <jrib> Cieran: sun doesn't make a 64bit java plugin and adobe doesn't make a 64bit version of flash so those things are harder to install on 64bit.  Your computer can use the 32bit version and it will work just as well>  I'd recommend reinstalling the 32bit version
[11:38] <ndube> ashfire908: whatever is doing DHCP, probably your router
[11:38] <mortenjs> Hi i installed Ubuntu on my laptop. but after i had done that i installed xp on a new partion. but now i cant boot ubuntu without insert a cd with gumb on. can i get a program so a can chose between ubuntu and xp???
[11:39] <ndube> install grub
[11:39] <ndube> !grub
[11:39] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[11:39] <Jordan_U> !grub | mortenjs
[11:39] <ubotu> mortenjs: please see above
[11:39] <mortenjs> k ty
[11:39] <Naisenu> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38395/
[11:39] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: still isn't working
[11:39] <Cieran> jrib: Elaborate? I'm not sure what you mean
[11:40] <jrib> Cieran: proprietary stuff like flash and sun's java plugin is not available for 64bit so you will have a lot easier time using ubuntu if you reinstall Ubuntu, but choose the 32bit version this time
[11:40] <Ashfire908> where are the dns server ips stored in ubuntu
[11:40] <olin> what does VFS error mean?
[11:40] <tarelerulz>  Say I don't want to make it so both computer can get on the net. I just want one so I can see its samba shares and ssh to it?
[11:41] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, http://stealth17.com/hosting/files/1/gkrellShoot_09-23-07_174227.png
[11:41] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, now, try every volume's control
[11:41] <bascule> Ashfire908: /etc/resolv.conf
[11:41] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, increase volume
[11:41] <Ashfire908> bascule: thanks
[11:41] <Haru> how do i remove print margins while printing using lpr?
[11:42] <jrib> Cieran: does that make sense?
[11:42] <olin> does anyone know the best way to burn CDs with feisty fawn?
[11:42] <ndube> gnomebaker
[11:42] <jstarcher> olin, K3b
[11:42] <ndube> or k3b
[11:42] <hacknslash> olin: what type of cd
[11:43] <bascule> olin: the command line ;P
[11:43] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, what do you think?
[11:43] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: i've tried but only built in speakers in my laptop works, creative sountravel speakers doesn't work :(
[11:43] <magnetron> olin: install the gnomebaker software, with the add/remove software
[11:43] <rafaelscj> olin, gnomebaker :)
[11:43] <olin> okay magentron thank you
[11:43] <Haru> jrib, do u know how to remove print margins while printing using lpr
[11:43] <jrib> Haru: nope
[11:44] <Cieran> jrib: Yes, yes that does.
[11:44] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, so, I would try OSS instead of Alsa
[11:44] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, That looks like an artifact of having to downscale it to DVD resolution, I don't know if it should be that bad though, try resizing the source video in VLC and see if it looks the same ( with smooth rezising or whatever option in VLC on so it doesn't just look pixelated )
[11:44] <bluebanana> what is 0xae on my keyboard?

[11:47] <YoG_> hi can anyone tell me if/how can I upgrade vino to 2.20 or 2.19 (I'm on feisty) thanx...
[11:48] <LjL> PvtRyan: remove GDM if you don't need it. if you think you need it, then set up boot scripts so that it doesn't get started
[11:48] <winkey> hey whats the perms on the shadow files suposed to be?
[11:48] <LjL> !boot > PvtRyan    (PvtRyan, see the private message from Ubotu)
[11:48] <bascule> PvtRyan: it usually is /etc/inittab but different in ubuntu
[11:48] <ShockSMX> i'm still getting errors connecting to a windows share. SMB Connection Failed. anyone know what might be going on?
[11:48] <LjL> winkey: -rw-r----- 1 root shadow
[11:48] <bluebanana> so where can i find the answers to my questions?
[11:48] <PvtRyan> LjL: Thanks
[11:48] <winkey> LjL setuid?
[11:48] <LjL> bluebanana, i suggested googling "ascii"
[11:48] <LjL> winkey: doesn't look so
[11:48] <magnetron> YoG_: gutsy uses the 2.20 version of vinp
[11:48] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, what's your ubuntu's version?
[11:48] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, Can you give a screenshot with the High def video resized to DVD resolution vs the mpeg2 ?
[11:48] <bluebanana> LjL, ok. i found it. thanks
[11:49] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: dapper
[11:49] <winkey> LjL thank you
[11:49] <pookey> what's the correct way to install flash under ubuntu?
[11:49] <metrix> I am hooking up a Garmin USB device to my pc (using gutsy) and I continue to have problems with loading waypoints just like I did on feisty.  If I remove garmin support the system works fine..  is this the place I would go to work on getting this fixed?
[11:49] <jrib> !flash > pookey (read the private message from ubotu)
[11:49] <YoG_> magnetron: so only upgrade to gusty will do that?
[11:49] <LjL> !flash > pookey    (pookey, see the private message from Ubotu)
[11:49] <pookey> thanks guys :)
[11:49] <ptman> can anyone tell me how long feisty is supported?
[11:49] <magnetron> YoG_: upgrading to gutsy will solve the problem
[11:50] <jrib> ptman: 18 months after release
[11:50] <PriceChild> magnetron, please don't suggest that ehre yet ;)
[11:50] <Jordan_U> YoG_, Gutsy is not stable yet
[11:50] <YoG_> magnetron: thanx, but I'll wait for the release...
[11:50] <ptman> jrib: thank you very much for your prompt answer
[11:51] <Jordan_U> !lts | ptman see also
[11:51] <ubotu> ptman see also: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[11:51] <magnetron> YoG_: i was referring to that you could easily solve your problem when gutsy is released
[11:51] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, well I don't really want to resize it anyway
[11:51] <Jordan_U> :( he left
[11:51] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, my TV will play 1080i
[11:51] <YoG_> magnetron: So I read in the bugtracker... ;-)
[11:51] <LjL> metrix, this certainly is the ubuntu support channel, but your question sounds very specialized. i'll tell you that chances of someone else listening who's also using a garmin device are low.
[11:51] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, You can't get a higher resolution then that on a standard DVD
[11:52] <YoG_> magnetron: thanx anyway...
[11:52] <sauvin> I've just realised my /proc/cmdline has a "root=UID=(some huge string of characters here)" - what is that?
[11:52] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, higher then what?
[11:52] <bascule> python -c "for i in xrange(256):    print hex(i), chr(i)"
[11:52] <rafaelscj> fat_rat, look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370909

[11:52] <Darkkish> Hey
[11:52] <Darkkish> What is the basic command for mounting an NTFS drive?
[11:52] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, oh that makes sense then. I guess that's what HD DVD is for then?
[11:53] <gnomefreak> Darkkish: lol @ basic use ntfs-ng

[11:53] <LjL> metrix: i'm sure sure what you're saying anyway... are you having problem with the *connection* to the device, or just somehow converting its waypoints files?
[11:53] <LjL> !ntfs > Darkkish    (Darkkish, see the private message from Ubotu)
[11:53] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, Yes, you can try encoding it in xvid / divix and some DVD players will play it
[11:53] <Darkkish> !mount
[11:53] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[11:53] <tylo> hello all. is there someone who could help me with some C++ code?
[11:53] <rpj8> is there a way to change the icon on the "menu" applet for g-panel?
[11:54] <kenjiru> hello
[11:54] <tylo> PM me if you think you can ;)
[11:54] <fat_rat> rafaelscj: my english is weak :( but thank you :)
[11:54] <LjL> tylo: better try ##c++
[11:54] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, pretty sure mine wont :( What if I run s-video from my video card to the plasma?
[11:54] <Olliander> Hi guys.
[11:54] <tylo> ah. nice
[11:54] <rpj8> in other words, if I had debian installed, it'd show the debian icon in the menu applet
[11:54] <tylo> LjL: thanks
[11:54] <rafaelscj> how do I format a MP4?
[11:54] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, Though that would mean that your DVD player would have to be able to output @ 1080i to make use of it, which I doubt it can
[11:54] <olof_> I managed to screw up my /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/us file in Feisty Fawn 7.04. Could someone send me their file please? I would appreciate it a lot
[11:55] <rafaelscj> what's is the /dev/*** for a MP4?
[11:55] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, damnit this is pretty frustrating
[11:55] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, svideo won't do it, but DVI will, and most high def TV's support DVI IIRC
[11:55] <kenjiru> I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 and I have a problem: suddenly the sound stopped working!
[11:55] <LjL> rafaelscj: likely /dev/sda
[11:55] <LjL> rafaelscj: or /dev/sdsomethinghigher if other sdX's are already taken
[11:55] <Darkkish> I just need to know how to mount my drives -_-
[11:55] <Darkkish> they used to auto-mount
[11:55] <Darkkish> but for some reason they're not auto-mounting
[11:55] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, it doesn't have a dvi port but you can get a cable for DVI -> HDMI or something the manual said
[11:56] <olof_> I managed to screw up my /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/us file in Feisty Fawn 7.04. Could someone send me their file please? I would appreciate it a lot
[11:56] <rafaelscj> LjL, My hard drive is sda...
[11:56] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, Yes, that will work also
[11:56] <Din0x> Darkkish: check /etc/fstab
[11:56] <LjL> rafaelscj: then something higher
[11:56] <Olliander> I've a problem with my notebook, it's a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-834. tosh-utils and fnfxd don't run, because there's a problem with the toshiba_acpi-module, it puts a 'No such device'... I'm running Gutsy, under Feisty it ran... What could that be?
[11:56] <metal> kenjiru: Did it stop working while you were listning to something, or did it stop working after a reboot
[11:57] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, here is my DVD player: http://www.sylvaniaconsumerelectronics.com/products/dvd/ZV420SL8.php
[11:57] <bascule> olof_: http://pastebin.com/d30962694
[11:57] <rafaelscj> LjL, what's that command that list all hard drives available?
[11:57] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, A computer a DVR and an HDDVD / Blue Ray player are the only pieces of consumer electronics that can output HD that I can think of.
[11:58] <kenjiru> metal: I had a system freeze so I had to reboot the system (something that never happened before)
[11:58] <LjL> rafaelscj: there is no such command.  ls /dev/sd*  will list every SCSI-style drive, which i suspect is what you want, though
[11:58] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, I don't need to look at that link to know it doesn't have HDMI or DVI out :)
[11:58] <kenjiru> metal: and after the reboot there was no sound...
[11:58] <bascule> rafaelscj: cat /proc/partitions
[11:58] <rafaelscj> LjL, yes, there is
[11:58] <m1r> evening guys
[11:58] <rafaelscj> LjL, thanks
[11:58] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, alright thx man.  I'll just have to wait for something to come along to try this new tv out at full resy I guess :(
[11:59] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, Why not use your comp?
[11:59] <Olliander> Seems, that I'm the only one here with this prob, right? ^^
[11:59] <Olliander> Some kind of annoying. -.-
[11:59] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, I will have to get that cable
[11:59] <Marshal1> I'm unable to unlock my screensaver, but I am able to login to the machine initially.  I have been checking several things, but nothing seems to be working.  shadow and shadow- are different, which I noticed while looking at pam.d stuff
[12:00] <soundray> Olliander: ask in #ubuntu+1
[12:00] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, I have a 7800gtx, it has dual dvi so that should look nice
[12:00] <jstarcher> *work
[12:00] <olof_> bascule: thanks a lot, I will reboot and see if it works
[12:00] <atlfalcons866> is gusty gibbon lts
[12:00] <bascule> olof_: welcome
[12:00] <m1r> can someone help with burning cd from command line ?
[12:00] <Olliander> Thx soundray.
[12:00] <XiXaQ> I have windows xp installed on the first partition of my second disk, sdb. How do I setup grub to load that?
[12:00] <hmhowie> m1r: mkisofs and then cdrecord <name of iso>
[12:00] <IdleOne> atlfalcons866: no it isnt #ubuntu+1 for support
[12:00] <bascule> m1r: cdrecord -vv -dao dev=dev/scd0 speed=8 some.iso
[12:00] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, I don't think it's expensive ( though my friends just came with it ) I even went to stupid prices and the guy had a box of them ( he didn't know what they even were ) and just said "take it, I've got tons" :)
[12:01] <m1r> tnx guys
[12:01] <w0lt-_> Does anyone have a recommendation for a PCI-Express x1 video card for a Dell Dimmension-3100 ?
[12:01] <Din0x> which tool for formatting ntfs drives?
[12:01] <w0lt-_> Trying to get away from internal video...
[12:01] <bascule> mkfs.ntfs
[12:01] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, lmao that would be nice. You have an extra you want to sell?
[12:02] <Jordan_U> jstarcher, Do you live in California? ;)
[12:02] <rpj8> say again, I want to change the little ubuntu logo on the main gnome-panel to an icon of my choice
[12:02] <jstarcher> Jordan_U, Ohio
[12:02] <Din0x> tnx
