[13:57] <georgeaf> bz0b, yes, you can't disable wl ?
[13:57] <EF_Codd> YankDownUnder bunty broke. Me edit fstab and add partitty then boot-boot. bunty fully brokened.
[13:57] <bz0b> ruben23, ya slocate but make sure you updatedb first
[13:57] <YankDownUnder> EF_Codd, Thanks for that.
[13:57] <Pici> !en | EF_Codd
[13:57] <bz0b> georgeaf, everytime I do i dont get an int
[13:58] <bz0b> georgeaf, what modules do i have to modprobe for b43 to work? b43 ssb and rfkill?
[13:58] <quibbler> EF_Codd, what is your native language?
[13:58] <georgeaf> bz0b, just b43
[13:58] <EF_Codd> Pici I am speaking English. Perhaps I am not mangling it's syntax or grammar as badly as some others here, but I feel my usage is not too far outside the norm.
[13:58] <bz0b> georgeaf, well b43 seems to load those as wel
[13:58] <EF_Codd> quibbler may I ask as to what that question pertains?
[13:58] <ezerhoden> bz0b: modprobe will load dependent modules, insmod will not
[13:58] <Ekips> ubottu: Only freenode channels on that list? :(
[13:59] <Ekips> Oh hell
[13:59] <Ekips> It's a bot :)
[13:59] <irnodefn> "and alsaconf and alsamixer etc arent working, either. for alsaconf i get a command not found (im not sure if its just not in the path or what) and alsamixer gets an error and no such file or directory" (c) spring_morning
[13:59] <ruben23> bz0b: how i update the datadb...?
[13:59] <bz0b> ezerhoden, ya i know so would i just insmod b43 then
[13:59] <georgeaf> bz0b, you should see it in System->administration->hardware drivers
[13:59] <quibbler> EF_Codd, we don't understand your problem
[13:59] <EF_Codd> quibbler and might I enquire as to *your* native language?
[13:59] <spring_morning> yeah that'd be me...
[13:59] <bz0b> georgeaf,
[13:59] <spring_morning> did i miss something?
[13:59] <EF_Codd> quibbler it couldn't be simpler. Again I state:
[13:59] <bz0b> georgeaf, i did that disactivate even blacklistd
[14:00] <cannonball> irnodefn: put the output of 'lsmod' and 'dmesg' into a pastebin so people can get a better idea of what your hardware looks like.
[14:00] <ezerhoden> bz0b: i see not reason not to use modprobe, if anything else needs to be loaded it will be
[14:00] <EF_Codd> quibbler bunty broke. Me edit fstab and add partitty then boot-boot. bunty fully brokened.
[14:00] <EF_Codd> quibbler Change with "/dev/sdb1 /media/usb auto users,uid=1000,gid=100,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137 0 0" on the USB sticky. Then to booty boot boot. bunty broked
[14:00] <spring_morning> anyway...just rebooted..still no sound
[14:00] <georgeaf> bz0b, so what's the problem exactly ? driver doesn't get loaded ?
[14:01] <bz0b> well before i was using network-manager and i read that is a prob sometimes so i installed wicd but havent tried disabling wl and trying to use b43 and seeing i it worked because i didnt see an interface under iwconfig
[14:01] <bz0b> georgeaf, driver loads no prob but i don't get an interface
[14:01] <Worf> hello, i'm on 8.04, and after installing the nvidia drivers i get a "libglx.so: undefined symbol: _nv001464gl" when starting x ... ( nvidia drivers Version: 173.14.12+<IP_ADDRESS>3-503.31 ) - any tipps?
[14:01] <spring_morning> i purged and reinstalled the sound driver as i said, and alsa and everything...alsa showed up as being installed in synaptic...but none of the alsa commands work...and my driver isnt listed in sound configuration
[14:01] <bz0b> georgeaf, even when i lswh -C network and i have b43 loaded it shows that i am using the b43 driver
[14:01] <bz0b> georgeaf, but i dont get an interface to call
[14:02] <spring_morning> im tearing my hair out. i have no idea what's wrong or if i did something wrong or what
[14:02] <georgeaf> bz0b, ok one sec
[14:03] <georgeaf> bz0b, was it working before installing wicd ?
[14:03] <bz0b> no
[14:03] <fasta> Which program can read transparent png images? I want to test whether the images I have created are actually transparent.
[14:03] <Joker_-_> whats up with alsa?
[14:03] <calix> jemand da der mir kurz helfen könnte?
[14:03] <bz0b> georgeaf, i never got the b43 mod working
[14:03] <Joker_-_> I just updated and poof, no more sound
[14:03] <erUSUL> fasta: gimp
[14:03] <bz0b> georgeaf, what is the command to add b43 to startup mods
[14:04] <spring_morning> Joker_-_: im not getting any sound either..but i didnt update
[14:04] <OsamaK> Again any idea about on my question above?
[14:04] <Joker_-_> I just updated / rebooted and I have no more sound. I had sound like 5 minutes ago.
[14:04] <georgeaf> bz0b, i don't know, i'm not a linux pro but i have this card and got it working somehow, what do you get for it in lspci ?
[14:04] <Joker_-_> lastfm says alsa isnt present or buzy
[14:04] <calix> also ich frage dann einfach mal drauf los... we mache ich das, dass ich z.b. eine Sidebar wie der da hat:
[14:04] <Pici> !de | calix
[14:05] <calix> thx :D
[14:05] <fasta> erUSUL: I made an image with an opacity of about 50, I saved it in the Gimp. Then I loaded the image, copied and pasted it twice and see that it is not transparant.

[14:06] <bz0b> erUSUL, ya no wlan0
[14:06] <erUSUL> bz0b: lsmod | grep b43
[14:07] <bz0b> erUSUL, what do i do after the b43-fwcutter?
[14:07] <bz0b> erUSUL, im using the wl at the moment
[14:07] <erUSUL> bz0b: sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43
[14:07] <erUSUL> bz0b: or reboot
[14:07] <bz0b> erUSUL, should i blacklist wl first
[14:07] <bz0b> then reboot
[14:08] <erUSUL> bz0b: what is wl ??
[14:08] <bz0b> !wl
[14:09] <bz0b> erUSUL, it's a piece of crap of a mod for bcm43xx cards that dont support anything really like no monitor mode or anything
[14:09] <fasta> erUSUL: I just had to remove the background.
[14:09] <Myrtti> bz0b: mind your language, please.

[14:12] <priapus> hi all, where can I find the logs of nfs on ubunutu?
[14:12] <spring_morning> Joker_-_: have you tried googling the prob, when i was searching for my problem i found a lotta people with yours
[14:12] <Joker_-_> spring_morning: no I didnt, tought it was related to the update since it was working fine 15 minutes ago
[14:12] <Joker_-_> spring_morning: ill check it out then
[14:12] <spring_morning> Joker_-_: google 'updated ubuntu no sound'
[14:12] <spring_morning> lotta results come up
[14:13] <Joker_-_> spring_morning: true...
[14:13] <Joker_-_> spring_morning: thx, guess it's a know issue
[14:14] <spring_morning> Joker_-_: i hope it helps...im in the same boat (no sound) except i didnt update anything
[14:14] <Joker_-_> spring_morning: most of the posts doesnt "cure" the problem... some say reboot a few times... others say it's hardware failure...
[14:15] <spring_morning> Joker_-_: did you just do a normal update or did you update the kernel?
[14:15] <Joker_-_> spring_morning: kernel too
[14:16] <sajuuk> guys how do I establish what motherboard my comp is using by using CLI?
[14:16] <w3wsrmn> sajuuk: sudo dmidecode
[14:16] <spring_morning> Joker_-_: i really have no idea but i remember when i was googling, almost always people had lost sound b/c they updated the kernel..idk the solution, just that it appears to be common

[14:19] <oCean_> Joker_-_: maybe you've seen it already. Threads on forum say reboot not in new kernel, but in 2.6.27-9 and sound is back... I know it's not a solution, but did you try that?
[14:19] <perlsyntax_> anyone use eclispe?

[14:19] <Ekips> Yes, under Administration there's a create usb stick option
[14:19] <Ethos> anyone use mrtg and noticed it spiking way above the actual limit of the line?
[14:20] <knittl> eoke: yes, i tried that. it completes with success. but then i'm unable to boot the stick

[14:22]  * razor2006 grovels for assistance with his ALSA issue
[14:22] <Jeena> ok, it does not work because the network manager isn't up when I call curl during the login. So I thought it would be cool to start up the wlan-network on boot, does somewhone know how to acomplish that?
[14:23] <w3wsrmn> razor2006: PROTIP: as a question.

[14:37] <s1ckb0y> i typed and it just goes to a new line smbpasswd username

[14:37] <lsx> but in intrepid

[14:40] <JamesA_> Yes, nenyalorien

[14:43] <DogWater> jaapvisser: i'm sorry, I just need to remove the partitions on any disks that may be present so that the ubuntu installer doesn't complain about there being lvm partitions spanning two disks
[14:43] <TheDil> firefox doesn't open irc link with xchat....why??

[14:44] <quibbler> CaneToad, yes
[14:44] <Butt-Head> Hey, does anyone know how to fix the screensaver if it is showing a double image? The best way to describe it is that it is like having 2 small monitors put together to make one, but it only happens in the screen saver.
[14:44] <jaapvisser> Dogwater fdisk --help
[14:44] <Slart> nenyalorien: yup.. that sounds familiar.. does it play nice with grub? or it replaces grub?
[14:44] <s1ckb0y> ok so how do i access my windows share, smbtree displays all the files being shared but when i click on the icon in empty
[14:45] <ineedubuntuhelp> hello all
[14:45] <CaneToad> quibbler/carpii, I had to remove some stuff to get some blank areas to be able to drag...thanks, got it now
[14:45] <ineedubuntuhelp> i am needing some ubuntu wifi help
[14:45] <quibbler> CaneToad, :-)
[14:45] <ineedubuntuhelp> anybody here familiar with the field?
[14:45] <bullgard4> Why does the driver ath_pci.ko provide two network interfaces: ath0 and wifi0?
[14:46] <ineedubuntuhelp> argh! wifi!
[14:46] <eoke> s1ckb0y: I've not been following your issue (so I may not have all the facts) but I'd try Gnome > Places > Connect To Server with a service type of Windows Share.
[14:46] <lsx> razor2006, this is full lesson on hardy..maybe u can get from there http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy
[14:47] <s1ckb0y> eoke: what do i put in the server field?

[14:47] <razor2006> lsx: yeah i already check the modules, i have them, i'll look at this one here now
[14:48] <ashar_> makassar

[14:48] <lsx> ok
[14:48] <ashar_> makassar
[14:48] <ari_stress> hi guys, why i cannot hear any system-bell when using terminal?
[14:48] <s1ckb0y> eoke: no application is registered as handling this file
[14:49] <ari_stress> !bell
[14:49] <Slart> ari_stress: there is a setting.. preferences, sound.. system sound or something
[14:50] <Myrtti> ari_stress: if you're running intrepid, it is most probable that pcspkr is blacklisted
[14:50] <ari_stress> Myrtti: ah, let me check
[14:51] <ineedubuntuhelp> hello all
[14:51] <razor2006> lsx: thats okay this is quite a strange problem, thanks for all your assistance
[14:51] <silv3r_m00n> hi there

[14:51] <ineedubuntuhelp> whyhello
[14:51] <initial_B> =)
[14:51] <initial_B> hi everyone
[14:51] <rafaelscj> There is a ".deb for Ubuntu8.04+" package for download at Adobe's Download Page. Has anyone tried it?
[14:51] <HatedGuy> hey all :)
[14:52] <razor2006> lsx: i've been trying to help a friend out with a similar issue and i think ive angered him with my overzealous attempts to assist in forcing him to redundantly try fixes, i think he's a bit angry with me so i'll read over this and if i cant find out what i need to do well i dont know what ill do
[14:52] <ineedubuntuhelp> i am trying to set up my wifi on intrebid ibex, but i seem to not have the driver installed
[14:52] <darkham> hey people, someone can help me with samba? i'm sharing 3 folders, i can use them from XBMC, but i can't see them from a WindowsXP pc, what can i do?
[14:52] <razor2006> Thanks anyway!
[14:52] <ineedubuntuhelp> the output i am getting reads *- UNCLAIMED
[14:52]  * razor2006 waves
[14:52] <ari_stress> Myrtti: # low-quality, just noise when being used for sound playback, causes
[14:52] <ari_stress> # hangs at desktop session start (Ubuntu: #246969)
[14:52] <ashvala_> hi, im having this .dmrc issue on my ubuntu desktop, how do i solve it?
[14:52] <ari_stress> wtf .... lol
[14:53] <ari_stress> can't i have pc speaker just for beep sound
[14:53] <ineedubuntuhelp> i am reading that "unclaimed" means the driver is not loaded
[14:53] <w0ls0n> hello all. I am running VMWare server 2.0. When I reboot, I have to reinstall vmware. Is there a way to get this to startup automatically?
[14:53] <ineedubuntuhelp> but i have installed with windows wireless drivers
[14:53] <ari_stress> or at least redirect the beep to my alsa
[14:53] <eoke> s1ckb0y: If you open nautilus (the gnome file manager) and in the Go To: box type smb://WINDOWS_HOST_IP_ADDRESS/SHARE_NAME does that work?
[14:53] <ineedubuntuhelp> does anybody have any familiarity with this issue?
[14:54] <Ben_Cs> hello. what's the difference between kernel 2.6.24-23-generic and kernel 2.6.24-23-386? because after the update (8.04.2) the alsamixer doesn't work in 386 but works in generic?
[14:54] <C-Otto> hi there
[14:54] <s1ckb0y> eoke stupid question how do i get my windows ip address from my ubuntu laptop?
[14:54] <C-Otto> i'd like to re-open my ubuntu mirror, is there an IRC channel for that topic?
[14:54] <Myrtti> Ben_Cs: in general you don't need 386
[14:55] <C-Otto> join #ubuntu-mirrors
[14:55] <C-Otto> ...
[14:55] <eoke> s1ckb0y: On the windows box you'll need to type ipconfig /all
[14:55] <Myrtti> Ben_Cs: generic has surpassed it
[14:55] <Ben_Cs> Myrtti: so i can remove 386 from menu.lst?
[14:55] <ineedubuntuhelp> also, when i try "iwconfig", i am getting "no wireless extensions"
[14:55] <Piero> hello
[14:55] <eoke> s1ckb0y: Have you confirmed somehow that these two boxes are even on the same network and able to access one another?
[14:56] <Slart> Ben_Cs: I think 386 means it uses only those instructions available on a 386 machine.. generic I think uses the 686 instructions
[14:56] <oCean_> s1ckb0y: what do you mean, is your windows on an other machine?
[14:56] <fingletoad> hello
[14:56] <Slart> Ben_Cs: a lot has happened since the 386 came out in.. 1991 or so.. generic will be faster on any non-stone-age machines
[14:57] <ineedubuntuhelp> is there a better channel for my type of request (no offense, just new to irc and ubuntu)
[14:57] <Ben_Cs> Slart: ok. Wierd. first time the 386 option is on men.lst. till now i had only "generic" kernel options in the menu.lst. Damn last upadte
[14:57] <usr13> ineedubuntuhelp: Keep your comments on one line, you are too spread out.
[14:57] <Slart> ineedubuntuhelp: nope, this is the right channel.. you can type !wifi to get some info from the bot.. just keep asking your question.. repeat every 5 minutes or so.. use the time to google and search the forums
[14:57] <bullgard4> ari_stress: On one of my Ubuntu laptops I cannot hear it either. Try the command 'beep' in a GNOME terminal and on a console and report here.
[14:58] <ineedubuntuhelp> usr: thanks. the last few have been because i have just tried them. i will do that. most gracious advice
[14:58] <Slart> Ben_Cs: that's kind of odd, yes
[14:58] <Ben_Cs> Slart , Myrtti : thanks guys
[14:58] <usr13> ineedubuntuhelp: "no wireless extensions" means that your driver for the wifi card is not loaded
[14:58] <usr13> !wifi
[14:58] <Myrtti> Slart: you serious with "every 5 minutes or so"
[14:59] <Slart> Myrtti: ehm.. yes? shouldn't I be?
[15:00] <ineedubuntuhelp> !wifi
[15:00] <Myrtti> Slart: fifteen minutes would be more appropriate, if even that
[15:00] <rafaelscj> !frontend
[15:00] <Slart> Myrtti: ok, fifteen+ minutes it is
[15:01] <jca1981> Hi i need help. i am getting a "Internal Server Error" when i create a virtual directory in apache, ive tried to uninstall apache and reinstall, same error, i have another site on same server works perfectly, could it be a dns error?
[15:01] <ari_stress> bullgard4: beep doesn't produce any sound. btw, i will activate the pc_snd module again since i don't use it in vmware env
[15:02] <oCean_> jca1981: check the /var/log/apache2 logfiles
[15:02] <Slart> ineedubuntuhelp: better make that interval 15 minutes or more.. you'll still catch the people joining, waking up etc
[15:02] <bullgard4> ari_stress: I have a similar problem and could not solve it for 2 years.
[15:02] <student> Does this work
[15:02] <oCean_> !hi | student
[15:03] <ari_stress> bullgard4: let me reboot my ubuntu to see if it works
[15:03] <student> Thanks
[15:03] <student> How do you change nickname
[15:03] <student> with command
[15:03] <Tyler> Nvm
[15:03] <s1ckb0y> eoke: smb://WINDOWS_HOST_IP_ADDRESS/SHARE_NAME displays empty folder
[15:04] <Slart> Tyler: on irc.. type /nick YourNewAwesomeNickname
[15:04] <afmacedo> question: how do I add shortcuts to the "System" menu?
[15:04] <Slart> Guest62925: but you seem to have mastered it already
[15:04] <eoke> s1ckb0y: Try connecting to the windows share from the windows pc by typeing the following at the run command \\WINDOWS_HOST_IP_ADDRESS\SHARE_NAME
[15:04] <Slart> afmacedo: system, preferences, main menu
[15:04] <eoke> s1ckb0y: If you still get an empty folder it may be a permissions thing on the windows box.
[15:05] <Guest75> :P
[15:05] <jaapvisser> afmacdeo: click right mouse -> edit menus
[15:05] <jca1981> oCean_: My logfile is empty
[15:05] <afmacedo> Slart: jaapvisser: but I need to do it through command line :/
[15:06] <s1ckb0y> eoke:  have 2 notebooks with windows and they can connect to the share, the share is password protected and i have not set this up in ubuntu yet dont know how to
[15:06] <ineedubuntuhelp> when you say the driver is not loaded, is that different from the driver not being "installed"?
[15:06] <ardchoille> Are the repos really slow right now?
[15:06] <eoke> s1ckb0y: Ubuntu will request the logon credentials once it establishes a connection.
[15:06] <oCean_> jca1981: that's not good. Error en CustomLog directives should have valid values in apache2.conf. It's not the cause of your problem I think, but it helps debugging
[15:06] <quibbler> ardchoille, yes
[15:07] <ardchoille> quibbler: Thanks
[15:07] <Slart> afmacedo: oh... hmm.. let me see if I can find anything
[15:07] <afmacedo> Slart: thx a lot
[15:07] <darkham> espeak is mute, how can i configure it?
[15:08] <jschoolc> I'm going to install ubuntu in a VM on VMware Fusion 2, on the latest MBP.  Should I install 64bit or 32bit?  It's mostly for web app stuff (apache, php, mysql, ruby, rails)
[15:08] <ari_stress> bullgard4: i have pc speaker volume in alsa now, but still no sounds :(
[15:08] <ineedubuntuhelp> does anybody have any idea why i am getting "could not find a network configuration tool"
[15:08] <jaapvisser> jschoolc 32bit is fine for web development
[15:09] <Slart> darkham: try running "padsp espeak" instead
[15:09] <bullgard4> ari_stress: What do you mean by ' pc speaker volume '?
[15:09] <Slart> darkham: if you're using pulseaudio that is
[15:09] <jschoolc> jaapvisser: cool, thanks
[15:09] <jca1981> oCean_: appache.conf says CustomLog /var/log/apache2/other_vhosts_access.log vhost_combined, the log file is there but contains no entrys.
[15:09] <ari_stress> bullgard4: i can raise the volume in volume manager, but still no sound
[15:09] <adfadfadf> Error! NAMESERVER is unset! Please set it in config file "drblpush.conf" or /etc/resolv.conf
[15:10] <adfadfadf> I am trying to configure a clonezilla diskless remote boott server at work
[15:10] <darkham> slart, i'm usin g alsa
[15:10] <adfadfadf> What am I doing wrong?
[15:10] <ari_stress> bullgard4: when we hit 'TAB' many times in terminal, it should beep right?
[15:10] <oCean_> jca1981: you can set the LogLevel in apache2.conf to some more verbose level, maybe capturing what happens when you get the internal server error
[15:10] <Slart> darkham: try "aoss espeak" then
[15:10] <Ced___> How does one reinstall KDE 4? ( i cant join #kubuntu atm, got forwarded here.)
[15:10] <anervoustwitch> trying to use the OMSA livecd to reconfigure a drac card - anyone know the default login info?
[15:10] <Slart> darkham: I think espeak uses oss
[15:10] <darkham> Slart , ok
[15:11] <anervoustwitch> Ced___ depends on your distro
[15:11] <Ced___> aneveroustwitch: kUbuntu 8.10
[15:11] <jaapvisser> oCean : /etc/apache2/httpd.conf you can change log leve: fatal | info | trace | warn
[15:12] <oCean_> jaapvisser: it's no longer httpd.conf, that's for 3rd party module loading etc
[15:12] <anervoustwitch> Ced___ do you have a desktop at all, or console only?
[15:12] <jaapvisser> sorry mean /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[15:12] <oCean_> jaapvisser: I know, I'm wrote that for jca1981 to do :)
[15:12] <Ced___> aneveroustwitch: I get a desktop, but all window edges are gone, and i cant move stuff around (not even with alt+drag)
[15:13] <Slart> afmacedo: can you use conf-editor at a command line? does it have a ncurses interface?
[15:13] <jca1981> oCean_: ok, set it to debug, still no error when i hit the site. i restarted apache
[15:13] <anervoustwitch> Ced___ have you tried logging off and back on and/or restarting?
[15:13] <afmacedo> Slart: yup
[15:13] <Ced___> aneveroustwitch: I tried restarting, resetting the config, relogging in, etc
[15:13] <jaapvisser> bussy channel can not hold up the names >:0
[15:14] <oCean_> jca1981: In one of the logs should be an entry. Even with vhosts configured, the startup msg should go to the 'default' error_log file... something like "resuming normal ops"
[15:14] <ari_stress> bullgard4: beep still doesnt work :(
[15:14] <afmacedo> Slart: I've tried already to change the .desktop Categories section, playing with .menu files, etc... but so far I got nothing :/
[15:15] <n8tuser> Ced___ -> try to see if kde4 is listed with  sudo  tasksel --list-tasks
[15:15] <bobbycheetah> the first sound you hear after rebooting ubuntu is the when the login screen appears. it sounds like bongos.  the sound file is called question.wav and found in /usr/share/sounds.  when I reboot and the sound occurs, I can barely hear it.  however, when I play the wav file it sounds loud and clear.  any ideas why? thx!
[15:16] <anervoustwitch> Ced___ what n8tuser said.  if it is there, try deselecting it, allowing it to remove, and readding it.
[15:16] <anervoustwitch> Ced___ although thats has its own set of potential problems
[15:16] <Slart> afmacedo: I can't really find anything about it either.. sorry
[15:17] <Glacies> hi
[15:17] <afmacedo> Slart: :( that's ok... thanks anyway buddy
[15:17] <Ced___> n8tuser: Its not there.
[15:17] <Ced___> n8tuser: kUbuntu-desktop IS though.
[15:17] <Glacies> can somebody give me a list of the Gtk elements?
[15:17] <Slart> bobbycheetah: I'm guessing ubuntu uses some standard settings for sound volume and such at the login window.. when you login you'll get your sound settings that might have a higher volume set
[15:18] <Slart> afmacedo: you're welcome... hope you find a way to edit those menus
[15:18] <n8tuser> Ced___ -> i dont know how to install kde4 ,
[15:18] <afmacedo> Slart: I'll let you know if I do
[15:18] <Ced___> n8tuser: Ill just reinstall kUbuntu, i've been on IRC like 4 hours now, and no result ><
[15:18] <bobbycheetah> hmmm.. where would i look to find "system" settings?
[15:18] <jca1981> oCean_: i got the log now and i have Apache/2.2.9 (Ubuntu) configured -- resuming normal operations but i cant see any error messages
[15:19] <Slart> afmacedo: this might help http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/2.20/menustructure-0.html.en
[15:19] <Photoguy> What is the command for adding repositories?
[15:19] <kaktuskatta> Hi all! I've just had a restart because my comp hanged completely! I'm eager to find out why, but dmesg doesn't say. The old log in /var/log doesn't reveal anything particular either...
[15:20] <jaapvisser> Photoguy : edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:20] <afmacedo> Slart: checking
[15:20] <Photoguy> jaapvisser, thanks.
[15:20] <oCean_> jca1981: ok, so that's the default ErrorLog. The other logfiles are configured in "/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/sitename" (e.g. '000-default') Just check if the files mentioned there (ErrorLog and/or CustomLog) are correct, existing
[15:21] <jrwren> I'm trying to upgrade from feisty, but do-release-upgrade is complaining about failing to fetch things, like us.archive.ubuntu.com no longer has feisty. Should I just modify sources.list and update/dist-upgrade?
[15:21] <Slart> !feisty
[15:21] <jrwren> !eol
[15:21] <jrwren> !upgrade
[15:21] <oCean_> jca1981: (of course, you might have done this checking already... I don't know)
[15:21] <Slart> jrwren: end of life was in october last year so the repos have moved.. there is a repository archive but I can never remember the url.. check the links from ubottu
[15:21] <kaktuskatta> is there any way do check timestamping in the logs?
[15:22] <n8tuser> jrwren -> i'd do a fresh install instead of upgrade
[15:22] <juna> hello to all. can someone give me an opinion for mod_security ? is it better to have it installed or not ? what are pros and cons ? conflicts with different scripts etc ? thank you
[15:22] <savvas> jrwren: a server? do you have physical access on the server?
[15:22] <jrwren> n8tuser: I NEVER do fresh installs.
[15:22] <jrwren> Yes, I have physical access.
[15:22] <jrwren> savvas: yes, a server for a client.
[15:22] <n8tuser> jrwren -> good luck
[15:22] <savvas> jrwren: hold a sec
[15:22] <hatter243> juna, ask #apache
[15:22] <Jeruvy> juna Try asking in #apache, they have far more expertise with this.
[15:22] <mactech> question - can i install ubuntu on my apple ibook g3 500mhz with 128mb of ram, 20gb HD, and with airport wireless?
[15:23] <Photoguy> jaapvisser So this is right?   /etc/apt/sources.list http://apt.rigsofrods.com/
[15:23] <jrwren> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades  and http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ looks good
[15:23] <savvas> jrwren: did you change the sources.list to use the old-releases repository? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades
[15:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Slart deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main restricted universe multiverse deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-security main restricted universe multiverse
[15:23] <jaapvisser> juna it all depend on your configuration
[15:23] <jrwren> savvas: doing that now :)
[15:23] <jrwren> thanks.
[15:23] <Jeruvy> !hcl | mactech: you can install ubuntu anywhere
[15:24] <jrwren> you have all been far more helpful than I can ever imagine
[15:24] <savvas> jrwren: can you send me the /etc/apt/sources.list at http://paste.ubuntu.com so I could have a look?
[15:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Slart those three are all you need
[15:24] <Slart> Jack_Sparrow: ah.. that's the one. Thanks
[15:24] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[15:24] <Slart> jrwren: you got those urls?
[15:24] <jaapvisser> the best place to handle security is in your scripts but a mod_security solution works great to block certain requests
[15:25] <daredevilthere> Hey How do i permanently set iprouting forwording setting ??
[15:25] <bullgard4> ari_stress: I would advise you to summarize all you findings and put a question in Launchpad. May be you will be luckier i getting a cure than me.
[15:25] <jca1981> oCean_: bingo i found the right file : client <IP_ADDRESS>] /home/.htaccess: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not inc$
[15:25] <bullgard4> ari_stress: s/i/than I and
[15:26] <ari_stress> bullgard4: yeah, let me trial and error couple of hour first
[15:26] <daredevilthere> Hey How do i permanently set iprouting forwording setting ??
[15:26] <jrwren> Slart, savvas yup, I'm good.  savvas if you really want me to pastebin i can, but I think I can manage from here.
[15:26] <oCean_> jca1981: ah, okay....
[15:26] <jrwren> I just needed that bit of "you idiot, its REALLY old" and "http://old-releases..."
[15:26] <bullgard4> ari_stress: Yes indeed.
[15:26] <cwillu> jrwren, :)
[15:26] <savvas> jrwren: let me know if you need further help
[15:27] <bullgard4> Why does the driver ath_pci.ko provide two network interfaces: ath0 and wifi0?
[15:27] <SodaKiller> anybody use Bind9?
[15:27] <ikonia> bullgard4: one is the real card, the other is a bridge to it
[15:27] <ikonia> SodaKiller: yes
[15:27] <savvas> jrwren: in case it doesn't work, download the alternate cd from http://releases.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ and burn it. Pop the cd in and use this command: gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"  - Then while updating you will be asked to fetch updates, there you say "No" and it will go fine. :) Note that you'll probably have to upgrade once more to Hardy 8.04 after that.
[15:27] <jca1981> oCean_: i need to load the mod rewrite module :)
[15:27] <Photoguy> jaapvisser: is this correct?  /etc/apt/sources.list http://apt.rigsofrods.com/
[15:27] <bullgard4> ikonia: Which one is the bridge?
[15:27] <jaapvisser> nope Photoguy
[15:27] <bobbycheetah> I'm at / and running the following command...   sudo find . -name '*' |xargs grep -i 'question.wav'  why do i still get "permission denied" results?
[15:27] <ikonia> bullgard4: wifi0 I believe
[15:28] <ikonia> bullgard4: ath0 is the physical card
[15:28] <bullgard4> ikonia: Ah! Thank you very much.
[15:28] <jrwren> SodaKiller: I use bind9 :)
[15:28] <SodaKiller> ikonia -> if you can point me to the right direction, it would be great, okay so i have bind9 managed using Webmin, i have 1 site working fine, i want to add another domain, do i create a new "master zone" (WEbmin lists it as master zone), or do i edit the existing one?
[15:29] <oCean_> jca1981: yes, it seems that way... never underestimate the power of logging :)
[15:29] <eoke> SodaKiller: I'm currently trying to use bind9 ;)
[15:29] <s1ckb0y> eoke: didnt work, the windows computers see each other but no ubuntu shares on ither
[15:29] <s1ckb0y> eoke: just installed ubuntu yesterday have not messed with anything besides updating
[15:29] <SodaKiller> eoke -> ahh we're on the same boat.
[15:29] <ikonia> SodaKiller: webmin is totally not supported, your question is webmin related, not bind9 related
[15:29] <jca1981> oCean_: fealing so stupid i looked in wrong file. can you remember where i load mods
[15:29] <ikonia> SodaKiller: webmin is not really compatible with a lot of the things ubuntu does in terms of how applications are configured
[15:29] <eoke> SodaKiller: I'm trying to do it through the config files and it's erm interesting ;)
[15:30] <oCean_> jca1981: I think you can do that by creating a symlink from /etc/apache2/mods-available to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled. Then restart apache
[15:30] <eoke> s1ckb0y: Have you actually confirmed the Ubuntu box is on the same network as the Windows box?
[15:31] <SodaKiller> ikonia, thats fine, well then in bind in the /etc/bind/ folder do i create a new domain.com.hosts file and include it?
[15:31] <jca1981> oCean_: oh yea, hehe thanks
[15:31] <ikonia> SodaKiller: you can do
[15:31] <oCean_> jca1981: sure, np
[15:33] <n8tuser> !clone > n8tuser
[15:33] <SodaKiller> ikonia -> i see.  yep, i have the apache side working fine, i must have screwed up on the .hosts file because nothing still works.  although, i'm using my current .hosts file as an template.  i'll look at it again
[15:33] <dinesh372> anyone tell me how to add a new command to shell
[15:33] <SodaKiller> ikonia - i have 5 IPs to use, i've hosted 1 site on 1 IP, now i need to do the second site
[15:34] <ikonia> SodaKiller: not sure why you are telling me this as it doesn't effect your problem
[15:34] <jca1981> oCean_: oh now i get [error] [client <IP_ADDRESS>] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'Limit$
[15:34] <dinesh372> anyone tell me how to add a new command to shell
[15:34] <SodaKiller> ikonia -> i know ik now, just telling you my situation not that it has anything to do with my original question lol
[15:34] <hatter243> dinesh372, insert into your .bashrc  "alias <what you want to type>='<command>'
[15:35] <hatter243> !patience | dinesh372
[15:35] <jaapvisser> dinesh372: which command do you like to add
[15:35] <s1ckb0y> eoke: i just changed the .conf to show workgroup = MSHOME
[15:36] <SodaKiller> ikonia -> so  a new .hosts file per domain would work right?
[15:36] <dinesh372> i want to add a c function square that squares a number as it is given as assignment
[15:36] <ikonia> SodaKiller: depends on the configuration
[15:36] <ikonia> dinesh372: ok ?
[15:37] <Kupari> Hello, with what command i start .run files in console?
[15:37] <eoke> s1ckb0y: Please see https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+question/45685
[15:37] <ikonia> Kupari: they are normally executable binaries, what do you want to install
[15:37] <Kupari> Gotta reinstall nvidia driver
[15:37] <ikonia> Kupari: why ? there are 3 versions packaged with ubuntu
[15:38] <ikonia> Kupari: putting a 3rd party one on may cause serious issues
[15:38] <Kupari> Yep, noticed.
[15:38] <Kupari> But it works better than official releases
[15:38] <s1ckb0y> eoke: do i need to have anything oinstaled besides samba?
[15:38] <Kupari> MUCH better
[15:38] <jrwren> hahaha... do-release-upgrade choked on old-releases.  It makes sense. It just changed feisty to gutsy, but gutsy isn't at the old-releases URL.
[15:39] <ikonia> Kupari if you know that, then you must have installed the drivers before
[15:39] <c0d3-r3d> will the ubuntu work with a dvd?
[15:39] <ikonia> Kupari: if you have instaled the drivers before you'll know how to use a .run file
[15:39] <Kupari> Aye, but just cant remember that command
[15:39] <ikonia> c0d3-r3d: yes, but it can be a problem sometimes burning a CD to a DVD
[15:39] <ikonia> Kupari: there isn't a command, you just run them
[15:39] <Kupari> Ok~ thx
[15:39] <eoke> s1ckb0y: I don't believe you need samba to connect ubuntu client to a windows share.
[15:39] <savvas> Kupari: sudo apt-get install envyng-core && envyng -t
[15:40] <eoke> s1ckb0y: Did you have a look at the url I posted if not see https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+question/45685
[15:40] <s1ckb0y> eoke: reading now
[15:40] <rafaelscj> !flash
[15:40] <d0netsFN> are sata drives hot swappable? if i have the power plugged in, can i plug the sata cable in while in ubuntu?
[15:40] <c0d3-r3d> i want a dvd because i dont have a cd :(
[15:40] <oCean_> jca1981: that might be something regarding the rewriteEngine, but I'm not really familiair with that. It might help to create/declare an explicit VirtualHost in the apache config. But again, I'm no expert on this..
[15:40] <ikonia> d0netsFN: depends on the controller, most home kit, no
[15:40] <d0netsFN> the drive gives me mad errors on startup in ubuntu and it freezes xp when i try to create a partition on it in disk manager
[15:40] <Slart> eoke: I think you do.. but the samba client might already be installed by default... the samba package is the server iirc
[15:40] <rafaelscj> !make > rafaelscj
[15:41] <jca1981> oCean_: ok, thanks for your help u been most helpful :)
[15:41] <eoke> c0d3-r3d: Most DVD drives will also read CDs quite happily.
[15:41] <jca1981> oCean_: i have to run now, bye
[15:42] <oCean_> jca1981: come to think of it.. using vhosts.. that *is* an explicit vhosts. Sorry, I'm a bit lost at this..
[15:42] <oCean_> jca1981: ok bye
[15:42] <d0netsFN> i formatted this toshiba laptop last night and threw ubuntu on it, and neither the wireless or wired connection is working
[15:42] <d0netsFN> i click on the network thing up top and both are greyed out
[15:42] <c0d3-r3d> eoke, I have no blank cd's just dvd's
[15:42] <savvas> c0d3-r3d: then burn it on a dvd
[15:42] <c0d3-r3d> but will it work?
[15:42] <savvas> c0d3-r3d: if your program lets you burn the iso, it's ok
[15:43] <c0d3-r3d> !ubuntu
[15:43] <savvas> c0d3-r3d: yes, I use a dvd-rewritable for cd images

[15:46] <jschoolc> Why would I be able to use arrows in a shell and not delete/backspace?
[15:46] <rafaelscj> eoke, savvas, I am going to try.  - iwl3945 -> iwlwifi_mac80211 -> snd_seq_dummy
[15:46] <AlexGC2> Q: Does the Ubuntu server boot into a GUI?
[15:47] <step21> jschoolc: wrong keyboard layout?
[15:47] <eoke> AlexGC2: Not by default
[15:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Slart got a couple minutes for PM
[15:47] <jschoolc> step21: how would I check from the console?
[15:47] <eoke> AlexGC2: Although you can add a GUI if you wish
[15:47] <carpii> theres no gui in ubuntu server by default
[15:47] <jschoolc> SSH'd into a linode ubuntu slice
[15:47] <comicinker> help: when I do: "sudo mount -a" I receive: "mount: mount point storage does not exist"
[15:48] <rafaelscj> eoke, savvas, so, should I put "iwl3945" in that file?
[15:48] <AlexGC2> eoke , carpii, I would.  Tips or pointers?
[15:48] <comicinker> whats wrong with fstab?
[15:48] <Slart> Jack_Sparrow: sure.
[15:48] <step21> jschoolc: changing from the gui would prob be easier/more complete if you don't know
[15:48] <eoke> rafaelscj: I wasn't following your issue just saw the question, adding the module to the list will stop it from loading.
[15:48] <n8tuser> comicinker -> can you post your fstab file?
[15:48] <AlexGC2> eoke , carpii, I would.  Tips or pointers to getting one gui in?
[15:49] <carpii> Alex, try sudo-apt get install kde-core
[15:49] <carpii> and maybe kubuntu-desktop im not sure
[15:49] <comicinker> n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m31983cf1
[15:50] <eoke> AlexGC2: "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" would install the full gnome desktop but that would use considerable resources and potentially reduce the security of the box.
[15:50] <jschoolc> step21: thanks, I'll search around for the command
[15:50] <savvas> rafaelscj: iwl3945 should be working fine, it's intel's open source driver
[15:50] <carpii> hm kubuntu-desktop will install a load of default kde apps too, you probably dont want that
[15:50] <Jack_Sparrow> AlexGC2 sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[15:50] <rafaelscj> eoke, savvas, might you analize my lsmod output? I could pastebin it
[15:50] <carpii> i think kde-core is what you need
[15:50] <savvas> rafaelscj: I'm not an expert on modules, sorry :)
[15:51] <savvas> rafaelscj: all I know is iwl3945 is for intel wireless cards and works ok
[15:51] <n8tuser> comicinker -> umm, i dont see where it should complain about mount point storage
[15:51] <rafaelscj> savvas, okay, it should be iwl3945, i'm going to try
[15:51] <rafaelscj> savvas, thanks
[15:51] <savvas> np :)
[15:51] <n8tuser> comicinker -> oop spoke too soon, line 16  needs to be commented
[15:52] <rafaelscj> eoke, tnks
[15:52] <comicinker> Ah! thanks
[15:52] <s1ckb0y> eoke: not working but i can see my ubuntu from windows now
[15:52] <s1ckb0y> eoke: now need to see my windows share from ubuntu and ill be good
[15:52] <AlexGC2> thanks JackSparrow, , carpii
[15:53] <ryanprior> What's a good program to eat up CPU cycles on a multi-core processor for load testing?
[15:53] <carpii> s1ckb0y, if you install smbfs package you can mount the windows share like a normal directory
[15:53] <eoke> s1ckb0y: Getting there at leas then, I didn't realise you were even trying to access your ubuntu shares.

[15:58] <latenubuntu> any body know how to solve this error : can't install mysql-server due to unmet dependencies
[15:58] <arthurmaciel> guys, I used gparted to expand my boot partition to 200mb (it was 50mb large). but it was formated and now the kernel cannot read the partitions.
[15:58] <steve_> join forum french
[15:58] <ikonia> latenubuntu: what dependencies, and how are you trying to install
[15:58] <carpii> s1ckb0y, you want to permanently mount a windows share ?
[15:58] <Pici> !fr | steve_
[15:58] <eth01> hatter: that was relatively pointless.
[15:58] <arthurmaciel> As I don't have initrd anymore, it really seems the OS will not boot anymore.
[15:58] <dinesh372> ubottu : hi aur kya haal h
[15:58] <arthurmaciel> any suggestion??
[15:59] <latenubuntu> ikonia i'm trying to install mysql-server
[15:59] <s1ckb0y> carpii: i want to be able to access files in a diff computer from ubuntu as needed not permanetly
[15:59] <schweizer> hi folks
[15:59] <arthurmaciel> can anynone send me an initrd for kernel 2.6.24-23-generic please??
[15:59] <erUSUL> arthurmaciel: well if boot was indeed formated you not only lost the initrd but the kernel itself and the grub files...
[15:59] <amanu_> i wanna format my usb stick
[15:59] <amanu_> but i cant find format option
[15:59] <dinesh372> ubottu : aur kaisa h
[15:59] <schweizer> is this the ircnet network or the freenode network?
[15:59] <ikonia> latenubuntu: you need to pastebin the error so we can see which dependencies are not met
[15:59] <arthurmaciel> erUSUL: you are right.
[15:59] <ikonia> schweizer: freenode
[15:59] <steve_> hi
[15:59] <carpii> s1ckb0y, ok then thats something else. try searching http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=675530
[15:59] <arthurmaciel> erUSUL: could you send those files please??
[16:00] <schweizer> thx ikonia
[16:00] <oCean_> dinesh372: talking to ubottu won't help :)
[16:00] <hwilde> something wrong with the repos or is it me?   Connecting to security.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[16:00] <arthurmaciel> erUSUL: so I'll not be able to boot anymore, right?
[16:00] <ikonia> hwilde: it's fine
[16:00] <amanu_> i wanna  format my usb stick any command
[16:00] <arthurmaciel> erUSUL: I'll have to reinstall ubuntu... damn.
[16:00] <ikonia> amanu_: use gparted
[16:01] <knittl> ok, i'm back. i still have no luck booting from usb
[16:01] <hwilde> ikonia, dang mine just stalls at 99% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>)]
[16:01] <amanu_> how can i install that
[16:01] <erUSUL> arthurmaciel: even if i could do that my /boot/grub/menu.lst will not match yours... and myself i use custom kernels and grub2 so you will have to find someone with a more pristine or standar install
[16:01] <arthurmaciel> amanu_: take care when using gparted. pay attention to it.
[16:01] <amanu_> i think        i wont have it
[16:01] <ikonia> hwilde: actually mine is hung on the same host
[16:01] <ikonia> amanu_: install it
[16:01] <hwilde> ikonia, as i suspected
[16:01] <ikonia> hwilde: just moved on, it's just slow
[16:01] <amanu_> take care in the sence what can i do
[16:01] <arthurmaciel> erUSUL: the fact is I cannot mount /boot anymore, so i won't be able to copy files there.
[16:01] <Activewrk> Can anyone help me in getting an HTC Apache tethered to a Mini 9 running Intrepid?
[16:01] <ikonia> amanu_: mini 9 ?
[16:02] <erUSUL> arthurmaciel: one course of action could be boot with the livecd chroot to the ubuntu install you have and reinstalll a kernel image and grub
[16:02] <ikonia> amanu_: sorry not you
[16:02] <ikonia> amanu_: mini 9 ? htc apache ?
[16:02] <erUSUL> arthurmaciel: that may work
[16:02] <arthurmaciel> erUSUL: I don't have a cdrom for this machine
[16:02] <Activewrk> Mini 9 is netbook, htc apache is a cellphone
[16:02] <arthurmaciel> can I boot from network from windows?
[16:02] <erUSUL> arthurmaciel: :/

[16:02] <erUSUL> arthurmaciel: no problem
[16:03] <ikonia> Activewrk: ubuntu is not supported on cell phones, you need specific distros and install techniques
[16:03] <arthurmaciel> erUSUL: do you believe that if I put this hd on another laptop that boots from cdrom, will it work?
[16:03] <Activewrk> ikonia not installing it on the phone
[16:03] <ikonia> amanu_: open the package manager, search for gparted and install it

[16:10] <osubuck> or if i wipe it off and put another distro in its place to test it
[16:10] <ikonia> osubuck: then you should install it to that machine manually, unless that machine is identical
[16:11] <amanu> ikonia:yes
[16:11] <binarymutant> amanu, synaptic will do that
[16:11] <Flash> osubuck another machine = diffirent drivers etc...

[16:11] <ikonia> latenubuntu: not what desktop
[16:11] <ikonia> latenubuntu: show me "lsb_release -a"
[16:11] <amanu> i mean
[16:11] <ikonia> osubuck: you need to make that as an install CD - rather than an image of your machine
[16:12] <amanu> software for ubuntu
[16:12] <amanu> on a dvd
[16:12] <ikonia> amanu: aptoncd
[16:12] <Flash> osubuck thats fine but do not install drivers for one pc and think that it will be good for another
[16:12] <oCean_> amanu: what software are you looking for?
[16:12] <osubuck> ok, but how do i go about doing that?
[16:12] <jumcore_>   0,,0
[16:12] <MiLLeN> binarymutant: say me that "unknown suffix --ignored"
[16:12] <osubuck> get the iso of ubuntu then how to i add the updates to it?
[16:12] <ikonia> Flash: to be fair the kernel modules should be fine, I'm more concerned about the disks / partitions / uuid's
[16:12] <MiLLeN> when i type "gunzip -d foo.bin"
[16:12] <amanu> not exactly 1 but i need to get a collection of softwares if theres any link available
[16:12] <Flash> osubuck leave out the drivers when using aptoncd
[16:13] <ikonia> !aptooncd > amanu
[16:13] <binarymutant> MiLLeN, mv foo.bin foo.gz
[16:13] <oCean_> amanu: do you need the operating system on cd/dvd? See the shop: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu
[16:13] <binarymutant> MiLLeN, then try
[16:13] <ikonia> !aptoncd > amanu
[16:13] <MiLLeN> ok
[16:13] <amanu> ikonia cool
[16:13] <amanu> ikonia you misunderstood me
[16:13] <ikonia> amanu: then explain, what do you want
[16:14] <osubuck> so to do this i need to use aptoncd?
[16:14] <amanu> i am asking for a link to get softwares that can be install even at offline
[16:14] <amanu> in ubuntu
[16:14] <s1ckb0y> carpii: i was able to mounted with sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=windows_username,password=windows_password
[16:14] <s1ckb0y> /vista_pc_name/share_name   mount_folder_name
[16:14] <ikonia> amanu: and I'm telling you how to put the software on a CD
[16:14] <ikonia> amanu: which you can install when you are offline
[16:14] <oCean_> amanu: how would anyone know what collection you want on such a dvd?
[16:14] <Flash> updates are for the box currently doing the updates, a socket 775 will not be the same for a 478 just an example
[16:14] <ikonia> amanu: if you are not online - you can't access the repos, you need a local copy, eg: a cd repo
[16:14] <s1ckb0y> carpii: i want to make it permanent since other way dont work
[16:14] <oCean_> amanu: other than creating it yourselves... (like what ikonia said)
[16:14] <MiLLeN> binarymutant: apperas foo file
[16:15] <MiLLeN> "foo", with this name
[16:15] <latenubuntu> ikonia Description:    Ubuntu 8.04.1
[16:15] <ikonia> latenubuntu: now show me "uname -a" please
[16:15] <nbuntu> - im using 8.10, i ugraded last night and now i can only start in low graphics mode. i need help troubleshooting - can someone plz help?
[16:15] <binarymutant> MiLLeN, what are you trying to do to foo?
[16:16] <binarymutant> MiLLeN, oh wait, nm, sudo sh foo
[16:16] <ikonia> binarymutant: its a compressed data archive
[16:16] <osubuck> would be nice if someone could remaster ubuntu 8.10 iso and include all updates as of today
[16:16] <jiffe89> in the preseed file can I do perform a useradd using the 'preseed/late_command' option ?
[16:16] <MiLLeN> binarymutant: firt mv foo foo.bin and "bash ./foo.bin"
[16:16] <MiLLeN> binarymutant:  ok
[16:16] <ikonia> foo.bin: gzip compressed data, was "foo.bin", from Unix, last modified: Fri Sep  8 23:57:24 2006
 : not exactly for a collectin im just looking for any to download if available what ever it may be
[16:16] <ikonia> it's compressed data
[16:16] <binarymutant> ikonia, he extracted it
[16:16] <ikonia> amanu: then you need a full repo mirror
[16:16] <ikonia> binarymutant: ahh, I missed that, sorry
[16:16] <Flash> exactly
[16:16] <MiLLeN> ikonia: i guniz it
[16:17] <latenubuntu> ikonia Linux ************ <IP_ADDRESS>-xxxx-std-ipv4-32 #1 SMP Mon Jan 19 11:09:09 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[16:17] <amanu> yes
[16:17] <ikonia> latenubuntu: hiding your hostname is no big deal
[16:17] <ikonia> latenubuntu: thats also not an ubuntu 8.04 kernel
[16:17] <MiLLeN> and when i gunzip appear one file with name "foo"
[16:17] <MiLLeN> bin
[16:17] <ikonia> latenubuntu: where did you get this kernel
[16:17] <Gnea> latenubuntu: did you compile that kernel yourself?
[16:17] <latenubuntu> no
[16:17] <latenubuntu> im a noooooooob
[16:17] <MiLLeN> binarymutant: with "sudo sh foo" not found
[16:17] <ikonia> latenubuntu: where did you get this ubuntu install ?
[16:17] <amanu> i need a full collection of softwares
[16:17] <ikonia> amanu: then you need a full mirror repo
[16:18] <Flash> latenubuntu is this from a torrent?
[16:18] <amanu> yes
[16:18] <ikonia> amanu: it will take approx 70GB of data
[16:18] <latenubuntu> ovh install it to me
[16:18] <amanu> ohh
[16:18] <ikonia> latenubuntu: who is ovh ?
[16:18] <oCean_> amanu: that's about 80GB
[16:18] <Gnea> !software | amanu
[16:18] <latenubuntu> hosting company
[16:18] <oCean_> amanu: oh, 70GB according to ikonia.
[16:18] <ikonia> latenubuntu: then contact them - that is not an ubuntu 8.04 install
[16:18] <binarymutant> MiLLeN, did you change the name back to foo.bin? if so: sudo sh foo.bin
[16:18] <amanu> any upto if 4 gb arent available?
[16:18] <ikonia> amanu: what ?
[16:18] <amanu> softwares
 hosting company ?? pm me the link please
[16:19] <ikonia> amanu: the repo is 70+ gig of data - you need 70+ gig of free space and high bandwidth network connection to keep it up to date
[16:19] <amanu> ohh no just upto 4 gb is enough
[16:19] <ikonia> amanu: you can't do that
[16:19] <ikonia> amanu: you need all or nothing
[16:19] <latenubuntu> ikonia what the problem with this version?
[16:19] <ikonia> latenubuntu: it's not an ubuntu kernel, nor does it sound like a 8.04 release
[16:19] <Slim> Hello. I'm trying to connect to a printer in my office thats on a server. In order to access it you have to be connected to the share folder on the server. i can connect to the mapped network drive (shared folder), but all of my attempts to connect to the printer have failed. Any ideas?
[16:20] <ikonia> latenubuntu: contact your hosting company for support
[16:20] <Flash> latenubuntu who knows, its not an official release
[16:20] <noobem> hello all
[16:20] <Activewrk> ikonia: trying this http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1866807&postcount=1 at this point ~$ sudo /etc/rc.local start it errorsrs with no such file or dir
[16:20] <MiLLeN> binarymutant: yes, i change "foo" to "foo.bin" and do "sudo sh ./foo.bin
[16:20] <oCean_> amanu: as I told you, you cannot just have a part of the repository.
[16:20] <binarymutant> MiLLeN, that should work then
[16:20] <noobem> i would kindly need some help installing a wacom tablet on 8.10
[16:20] <MiLLeN> binarymutant: no
[16:20] <MiLLeN> say me "not found"
[16:21] <amanu> isint like xp softwares available here that can be just downloaded and can be runned on any machine having ubuntu?
[16:21] <binarymutant> MiLLeN, pastebin it, type ls first
[16:21] <petllama> noobem, my wacom just worked
[16:21] <ikonia> amanu: no, due to dependencies
[16:21] <petllama> didnt have to do anything, altho, i didnt test it too much
[16:21] <nbuntu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/111269/   can someone help with this area
[16:21] <arthurmaciel> erUSUL: sorry to interrupt you, but I suppose grub is still installed on MBR. Can I create the populate the /boot directory on the same partition of / and point the grub to there?
[16:21] <MiLLeN> if i do "file foo" or "file foo.bin" say me "foo.bin: cpio archive"
[16:21] <Gnea> latenubuntu: yeah, you need to talk to your hosting company. clearly, they tailored your ubuntu for you, therefore they should be supporting it.
[16:21] <ikonia> amanu: you either have to know the software you want (aptoncd will be your tool) or make a full repo
[16:21] <slippyr4> hi all. i've managed to get the kernel to find my wifi card by installing the madwifi-hal . Isn't there usually a gnome applet up on the top near the clock to automate connecting to networks etc? what package would I need to install for that?
[16:21] <afmacedo> Slart: the only way I found to add stuff to the System menu was patching "gnome-panel"
[16:21] <noobem> petllama: mine doesnt. not detected by system
[16:21] <afmacedo> unfortunatelly
[16:21] <amanu> well cant i just download dependencies if needed?
[16:21] <MiLLeN> binarymutant: paste bin what?
[16:21] <ikonia> amanu: yes, but then you need to know the software you want to install
[16:21] <amanu> by getting pack from friend
[16:21] <arthurmaciel> erUSUL: can I install GRUB on the /boot*
[16:21] <ikonia> amanu: and if you can "just download" you may as well just use the online repo
[16:21] <Gnea> latenubuntu: if it's something that doesn't have to do with the kernel, we would be able to help
[16:22] <ikonia> amanu: a pack from your friend ?
[16:22] <arthurmaciel> erUSUL: being /boot inside of / partition?
[16:22] <binarymutant> MiLLeN, the stuff in your terminal so I can see what your doing, because I really don't know what your trying to do
[16:22] <latenubuntu> gnea how can i know if it is ?
[16:22] <MiLLeN> binarymutant: okey
[16:22] <noobem> i can see wacom tablet w lsub
[16:22] <noobem> lsusb
[16:22] <arthurmaciel> erUSUL: what I mean is: does the /boot directory needs to be on a separate partition?
[16:22] <amanu> means my friend can download any software if needed for me and ill install it my net connection is slow :p
[16:22] <binarymutant> MiLLeN, thanks
[16:22] <nbuntu> it seems my problem is the ATi drivers are installed but not in use - how do i fix this
[16:22] <latenubuntu> the chan is moving fast ...:)
[16:22] <amanu> means my friend can download any software if needed for me and ill install it my net connection is slow :p
[16:22] <oCean_> amanu: no, that's not how the repos work
[16:22] <ikonia> amanu: then he needs to use aptoncd and you need to tell him what software you want
[16:23] <petllama> nbuntu, system > preferences > hardware drivers
[16:23] <amanu> i cant just install dependencies of few mb if needed
[16:23] <rafaelscj> hello, adobe-flashplugin didn't work, need help. Ubuntu 8.04
[16:23] <petllama> err.. administration
[16:23] <nbuntu> petllama: thats where it says they are not in use
[16:23] <ikonia> amanu: your not listening - if you are going to install the dependencies, you should just use the repo's your self
[16:23] <nbuntu> petllama: but it says they are installed
[16:23] <petllama> does it say sctivate on the bottom?
[16:24] <petllama> activate
[16:24] <nbuntu> its says it is activated
[16:24] <Gnea> latenubuntu: you've already show that it is by providing the kernel version
[16:24] <nbuntu> but not in use
[16:24] <petllama> o :x
[16:24] <MiLLeN> binarymutant: http://rafb.net/p/w5sA9z27.html
[16:24] <nbuntu> (doesnt say i need to restart)
[16:24] <petllama> thats more than i can help with then :-/
[16:24] <Flash> latenubuntu, bottom line, if you do not d/l ubuntu from the site its not official. simple as that
[16:24] <ikonia> latenubuntu: please contact your hosting provider for support
[16:24] <Gnea> latenubuntu: standard ubuntu kernels look something like this:  Linux version 2.6.27-11-generic
[16:24] <arthurmaciel> can anyone send me the kernel and initrd files please??
[16:25] <maverick340> is there any decent media player which has a simple media lib and yet drag-drop-play support
[16:25] <Gnea> latenubuntu: we aren't even using 2.6.28 yet
[16:25] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: if you can't boot your box, how do you expect to put the kernel on the box
[16:25] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: I can't boot the box, because I've deleted the kernel, but I'm using it. I have not rebooted yet.
[16:25] <maverick340> i have tried exail and rhytmbox , exail is buggy and rhythmbox sucks at drag-drop
[16:25] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: if you have corruprted your /boot directory I suggest you either use the repair option on the cd - or re-install
[16:25] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: re-install the linux-image package
[16:25] <amanu> i had heard of we can make changes to ur linux and can edit it as per our wish but how?
[16:25] <maverick340> audio-player btw
[16:25] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: with apt-get?
[16:26] <binarymutant> MiLLeN, it's still compressed with cpio, did you make foo.bin?
[16:26] <Flash> latenubuntu, if you installed a modded OS of ubuntu we cant help you period.
[16:26] <ikonia> amanu: what are you talking about
[16:26] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: yes, or synaptic
[16:26] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: what ever package manager your comfy with
[16:26] <MiLLeN> binarymutant: no
[16:26] <MiLLeN> what i have to do?
[16:26] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: how can I point the system to another boot directory? it used to be on /dev/sda2, but now I want it to be on /dev/sda5. /etc/fstab??
[16:26] <amanu> i mean the operating system
[16:26] <quentin> Is there a terminal command to update my Ubuntu 8.10 KDE interface to 4.2 from 4.1
[16:26] <raheem> amanu, that's if u have the skills to do it
[16:26] <ikonia> amanu: make a new boot partition, and mout it
[16:26] <ikonia> mount
[16:26] <latenubuntu> thanks guys reallly apreciate it
[16:26] <ikonia> amanu: sorry - not you
[16:27] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: make a new boot partition, update fstab and mount it
[16:27] <binarymutant> MiLLeN, well I would distrust the source of where you got it. It's compressed with cpio right now
[16:27] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: you'll need to update your grub install too
[16:27] <oCean_> amanu: please elaborate. Explain what it is that you want to accomplish
[16:27] <amanu> i am talking about making changes to a operating system
[16:27] <oCean_> amanu: changes like what?
[16:27] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: the problem is this. I have deleted /dev/sda2, re-created it and I cannot mount
[16:27] <ikonia> amanu: you log a bug / feature request
[16:27] <amanu> raheem : welll did u get me?
[16:27] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: why can you not mount ?
[16:27] <MiLLeN> binarymutant: ok, i have to install cpio?
[16:27] <amanu> change like making changes to operating system kernel
[16:27] <ikonia> amanu: you need to be VERY clued up
[16:28] <binarymutant> MiLLeN, I guess, I've never used cpio before
[16:28] <Pici> !contribute | amanu
[16:28] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: mount: it was not possible to find /dev/sda2 on /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[16:28] <raheem> amanu, u r talking about all the hypes in the media.. but, that's if u have enough skills to do the changes.. otherwise, u got to depend on a standard distro
[16:28] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: what command are you using ?
[16:28] <amanu> i mean all use to say linux is open source u can edit/modify it if needed
[16:28] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: sudo mount /dev/sda2
[16:28] <noobem> if somebody has a clue of how to get wacom working in 8.10 i'd appreciate pm
[16:28] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: you can
[16:28] <rafaelscj> !flash > rafaelscj
[16:28] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: wrong command
[16:28] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: sudo mount /dev/sda2 /boot
[16:28] <amanu> raheem i just wanna try it
[16:28] <MiLLeN> binarymutant: okeys!
[16:28] <oCean_> amanu: sure, no one will stop you from doing that
[16:29] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: special device /dev/sda2 does not exist
[16:29] <oCean_> amanu: but probably few will help you if you do
[16:29] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: ahhh your disk is in use so it won't have re-read the TOC
[16:29] <raheem> amanu, learn the basics, learn c++, python, plus a few other languages ;)
[16:29] <amanu> raheem also would like to know the procedure to do it
[16:29] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: that's it.
[16:29] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: any idea on how to do it?
[16:29] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: nothing you can do
[16:29] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: gee.
[16:29] <amanu> i know c/c++ basics
[16:29] <ikonia> amanu: there is no procedure, it's very complex and you have to understand a lot about linux / kernel / c++
[16:29] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: can't I create another partition and use it?
[16:30] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: not if the disk is in use
[16:30] <amanu> well cant i just have a look at it?
[16:30] <ikonia> amanu: sure
[16:30] <rafaelscj> How to instal flash plugin... please
[16:30] <horstle> hi
[16:30] <amanu> procedurE?
[16:30] <ikonia> rafaelscj: install "flashplugin-nonfree" package
[16:30] <oCean_> amanu: there is no procedure
[16:30] <ikonia> amanu: there isn't a procedure - download the kernel and look at the source code
[16:30] <raheem> amanu, u r free to look at it.. for eg. take the source code of any program u like, work on it :)
[16:30] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: so no solution, right??
[16:31] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: not without a reboot
[16:31] <cwillu> amanu, kernel sources are available directly from kernel.org, among other places
[16:31] <amanu> can i get source code for ubuntu
[16:31] <macman> guys .. what is one of the best iso burners out there .. besides dvd/CD creator ?
[16:31] <raheem> amanu, sure, see how the things are coded, see how u can improve it
[16:31] <Pici> !source | amanu
[16:31] <amanu> ok
[16:31] <cwillu> amanu, actually making and running a custom kernel is fairly involved, and you certainly will break things the first couple times
[16:31] <Flash> rafaelscj synaptic manager
[16:31] <cwillu> !kernel | amanu
[16:31] <BCampbell> macman, I've always liked k3b
[16:31] <raheem> amanu, good luck
[16:32] <BXCracer> Hi, how to connect to other server without leaving the freenode one ?
[16:32] <amanu> its ok cwillu :p
[16:32] <rafaelscj> ikonia, Flash,  nonfree is for flash 9. but flash 9 ins't available. Erro 404: Not found
[16:32] <slippyr4> how do i browse what wireless networks are available?
[16:32] <amanu> well thank u raheem
[16:32] <ikonia> rafaelscj: what version of ubuntu are you using
[16:32] <amanu> had any one tried before?
[16:32] <lwizardl> Hi I have a dead onboard soundcard and have added a addon sound card. but I think ubuntu is using the onboard for sound. how can I tell it to use card 2?
[16:32] <vegombrei> hi ... does anyone know the path to where f-spot photo manager saves its images ?
[16:32] <Flash> rafaelscj what ver?
[16:33] <ikonia> amanu: tried what ?
[16:33] <rafaelscj> ikonia, 8.04 LTS
[16:33] <ikonia> rafaelscj: that package should be updated and working
[16:33] <Gnea> slippyr4: click on the network icon on the upper-right
[16:33] <ikonia> rafaelscj: make sure you do a sudo apt-get update first
[16:33] <rafaelscj> ikonia, let me see
[16:33] <Flash> rafaelscj, if your confused pm me
[16:33] <amanu> modifying or editing any pack/kernal
[16:33] <oCean_> vegombrei: pobably in your homedir.. ~/Photos
[16:33] <ikonia> amanu: yes, many times
[16:34] <slippyr4> gnea: thanks. it seems i needed a reboot for that to work
[16:34] <Gnea> slippyr4: cheers :)
[16:34] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: really thanks.
[16:34] <oCean_> amanu: you may want to join one of the development or kernel channels on irc.
[16:35] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: no problem
[16:35] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: there is a way to re-read the disk toc on he fly, but I can't find/remember it
[16:35] <vegombrei> oCean_: there is no photos folder .. theres a pictures folder but that has other stuff
[16:35] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: to mount a new partition the kernel file (that I deleted) has to read again?
[16:35] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: it's a "new" partition so it has to re-read the toc
[16:35] <Flash> ikonia> rafaelscj: that package should be updated and working, correct works perfect!
[16:35] <nbuntu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/111279/  thats my /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[16:36] <amanu> coean_ how cani join?
[16:36] <ikonia> amanu: I suggest you don't join at this time, and just read the basics first
[16:36] <oCean_> vegombrei: Default there is a Photos folder in a user's homedir (mind the capital P)
[16:36] <nbuntu> can someone help
[16:36] <amanu> ok
[16:36] <ikonia> amanu: those channels are not for "new" users but for serious discussion
[16:36] <amanu> ok
[16:36] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: but why can't it re-read the toc? is it because I deleted the kernel file? is the toc located inside the kernel file? (don't understand much about this)
[16:36] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: no - it's because that disk is in use
[16:36] <rafaelscj> Flash, what version is your flashplugin-nonfree package? i am doing a apt-get update...
[16:36] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: your / partition is running of it, so the disk sis "locked" or "in use" so it can't re-read it
[16:37] <vegombrei> oCean_: lemme check again
[16:37] <raheem> amanu, read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment
[16:37] <BrokenClockwork> Hey, is there a shortcut for Ubuntu (GNOME) for show-Desktop?
[16:37] <vegombrei> oCean_: not there
[16:37] <ikonia> BrokenClockwork: bottom left of screen
[16:38] <Flash> rafaelscj, look in pm i"ll help get you on the right track.
[16:38] <BrokenClockwork> I mean a keyboard shortcut
[16:38] <amanu> ok raheem
[16:38] <oCean_> vegombrei: start fspot > edit > preferences... there is a drop down for import folder
[16:38] <raheem> amanu, take it slowly in the beginning.. ;)
[16:38] <dennda> BrokenClockwork: strg+alt+d or whatever you specify
[16:38] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: i'll try to find how to re-read on the fly. don't have a cdrom to boot
[16:39] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: I'm looking too, there is a way
[16:39] <amanu> ok
[16:39] <vegombrei> oCean_: thats what i did .. but i was importing like 20000 pictures .. then i clicked cancel and unchecked that option to copy to photos folder ... dont want duplicates so i wanna find that folder where its been copying them
[16:41] <oCean_> vegombrei: you can always "sudo updatedb && locate jpg" .. if that would help you
[16:41] <zce> is there any gui for changing routes with network-manager? for example sometimes i want the default route to be on wlan0, not eth0, when i have both (and other times, i want eth0).. right now im changing routes on command line
[16:42] <tickrtockr> since yday's updates, no sounds working here, am i at the right place to ask about this?
[16:42] <lwizardl> oCean_, when using a command like that would it be possible to have that command display into a text file instead of in the window
[16:43] <Twinkletoes|W> Using netstat... how can I tell which interface a process is listening on?
[16:43] <oCean_> lwizardl: sure. Any output can be redirected: ls -al > my_file.txt
[16:43] <imps> Hey guys, how do I turn SHMconfig to 'true' ?
[16:43] <oCean_> lwizardl: that wil overwrite the existing contents of that file. Using "ls -al >> file.txt" will append output to existing file
[16:44] <ikonia> imps: what makes you think that's a valid linux setting ?
[16:44] <ikonia> imps: I don't recognise that one, shm should be enabled by default
[16:44] <imps> You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics
[16:44] <imps> I'm getting that error for a touchpad app
[16:44] <ikonia> imps: ahhh an xorg setting
[16:45] <imps> Not to sure what to put in terminal
[16:45] <zce> imps: you can get that and more information here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[16:45] <imps> Thank you.
[16:45] <rosset> hi peoples
[16:45] <rosset> how to install kde 4.2 on ubuntu 8.10 intrepid?
[16:46] <raheem> !kde
[16:46] <ironfroggy_> im having to setup a new wlan card in a box without any of the usual gui's
[16:46] <ironfroggy_> I've got the interface configured to the local routers channel, network id, and mac
[16:46] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: have you received my private message?
[16:46] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: nope please say in the channel
[16:46] <ironfroggy_> but i can't seem to get it to actually connect. i dont know what my last step is. can anyone give me that last bit?
[16:46] <rosset> !kde4
[16:46] <raheem> rosset, but, i am not sure which version of kde it installs.. verify it pls
[16:47] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: ahhh just got it
[16:47] <maverick340> anyone who knows a good mp3 player with drag and drop support ?
[16:47] <maverick340> audio-player to be accurate
[16:47] <IdleOne> !hardware
[16:48] <ironfroggy_> should dhclient be able to get an IP for a wlan interface or is there something else i need to specifically kick it to say "connect to the AP over there!"
[16:48] <raheem> ironfroggy_, can't u use NetworkManager for that ?
[16:48] <carlo___> Hi, and thanks for being here! I've got a question about building Ubuntu packages... you know, nothing fancy, just been building a lot of software that's not in the repos and want to share them to ease the wait for people...
[16:48] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/re-read-the-partition-table-without-rebooting-linux-system.html <-- do you believe is it?
[16:49] <ironfroggy_> raheem: its not installed.
[16:49] <raheem> the usual command to connect to an AP is as follows.. assuming your interface is wlan0
[16:50] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: possible
[16:50] <ironfroggy_> raheem: thats why ive configured it manually (via iwconfig)
[16:50] <ikonia> arthurmaciel: partprobe is certainly valid
[16:50] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: well, this is what gparted uses... the error message is the same
[16:50] <raheem> audo ifconfig wlan0 up
[16:50] <raheem> sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[16:50] <silv3r_m00n> what are the improvements in ubuntu 8.10 over ubuntu 8.04 ?
[16:50] <raheem> sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "yourap"
[16:51] <ironfroggy_> ive done that, too.
[16:51] <raheem> ironfroggy_, then, dhclient wlan0
[16:51] <ironfroggy_> it gives no errors, but seems to do nothing. dhclient isnt able to get a lease, either.
[16:51] <raheem> ironfroggy_, did u try iwlist scan wlan0 ?
[16:52] <raheem> ironfroggy_, are you able to see the access point ?
[16:52] <Activewrk> ok, I nearly have this tethered now, just getting this error now
[16:52] <Activewrk> WvDial: WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56
[16:52] <Activewrk> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: Device or resource busy
[16:52] <ironfroggy_> raheem: "No scan results"! im sure thats important.
[16:52] <raheem> try sudo iwlist scan wlan0
[16:53] <genii> silv3r_m00n: I'm sure all the improvements are listed somewhere in the 42Mb archive at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/intrepid-changes/
[16:53] <Gabbsmo>  I try to install Arch Linux through Unetbootin but when I restart my PC I get stuck on "Booting GRLDR". My HDD stops spinning. what to do?
[16:53] <ironfroggy_> raheem: thats what tells me there are no scan results
[16:53] <silv3r_m00n> I am looking for a fax sending utility .. please suggest a few
[16:54] <raheem> ironfroggy_, try dmesg .. that should point u somewhere
[16:54] <genii> !info mgetty-fax | silv3r_m00n
[16:55] <silv3r_m00n> ok
[16:55] <yellowboy>  /quit
[16:55] <genii> silv3r_m00n: There are a few others but mostly with mgetty as backend again, except for lprfax
[16:55] <JamesA_> !pgp
[16:55] <silv3r_m00n> genii: ok thanks let me try that
[16:56] <JamesA_> Does anyone know how to quickly generate my own PGP keys?
[16:56]  * latenubuntu is using Auto Join System by OverDrive Version: 1.1 You can get it at http://www.adamj.org
[16:56] <JamesA_> !anyone | JamesA_
[16:56] <Pici> latenubuntu: Please disable that script.
[16:56] <mpalatnik> is the bind9 package from apt-get chrooted?
[16:56] <mpalatnik> by default that is
[16:57] <ironfroggy_> raheem: "wlan0: link is not ready" comes up when i bring the interface down and back up. i dont know if thats relevent but its the only thing i see referencing the wireless at all.
[16:57] <raheem> ironfroggy_, let's start over ..
[16:58] <ironfroggy_> and i know the ap is visible from here. im sitting next to this thing on my laptop connected to the same AP.

[16:58] <hoonteke> has anyone had any luck with booting the Desktop LiveCD over a network?  As for example these instructions:
[16:58] <hoonteke> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet#A%20variation:%20Booting%20the%20%22Live%20CD%22%20image
[16:58] <silv3r_m00n> carlo___: yes ?
[16:58] <carlo___> most important improvements from my experience was enormously improved hardware detection
[16:58] <raheem> ironfroggy_, try lshw -C network
[16:58] <raheem> see if everything is fine  ..
[16:58] <carlo___> especially when it comes to mobile internet
[16:58] <silv3r_m00n> carlo___: hmm...
[16:58] <carlo___> and also ATI graphics support
[16:59] <Joker_-_> Anyone here knows much about the "no sound after update" bug?
[16:59] <Joker_-_> as in why it hapens, what causes it, and what's the solution?
[16:59] <jrwren> oh sweet, after struggling with do-release-update, I see that I can update sources.list myself, but do-release-update is smart enough to know, I'm on feisty, I'm moving to gutsy and sources.list has already been updated.
[16:59] <sipior> mpalatnik: no, it's not chrooted by default.
[16:59] <silv3r_m00n> carlo___: i tried kubuntu 8.10 yesterday... it was really fast at booting
[17:00] <Joker_-_> I read a lot of "stories" about that bug and apparently no one has a clear fix other than "reboot and pray" wich gets me way too close of the windows way. I hate to think you have to reboot to fix a problem in linux.
[17:00] <arthurmaciel> ikonia: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/hoanga/2008/03/10/rereading-a-disk-partition-table-in-linux-without-rebooting/  <-- it simply does not work for me
[17:00] <silv3r_m00n> carlo___: but there was some problem with nividia-glx-177 installation
[17:00] <carlo___> silv3r_m00n: that's odd, I hear that nvidia was supposed to be better supported than ATI, and my ATI worked flawless
[17:01] <carlo___> silv3r_m00n: I'm looking forward to jaunty; main focus there is supposed to be boot-up time
[17:01] <silv3r_m00n> carlo___: my nvidia geforce 7400 worked perfect with ubuntu 8.04 .. but in kubuntu 8.10 there is some issue
[17:01] <ironfroggy_> raheem: everything looks fine (to me). the card itself seems functioning, in that its letting me do all the configuration and iwconfig doesnt puke about it, so i at least no the card is installed right.
[17:01] <igorzolnikov> Front sound is too low on laptop Sony Vaio VGN-SR11MR. Can you help me?
[17:01] <carlo___> silv3r_m00n... driver regression... outch
[17:02] <silv3r_m00n> carlo___: dont know what exactly but read about the same issue on forums too ... that trying to configure nvidia stops x server from starting up
[17:03] <raheem> ironfroggy_, sudo ifconfig <your-interface> down & sudo ifconfig <your-interface> up & sudo iwconfig <yourinterface> essid "yourAPaddress" & sudo dhclient <yourinterface>
[17:03] <raheem> that's all i knwo about it ..
[17:04] <jiffe89> anyone know how to get the install process to automatically choose english at the beginning using the preseed file?
[17:04] <raheem> ironfroggy_, those should usually connect you to a normally configured AP (without encryption keys)
[17:04] <jiffe89> I thought 'd-i languagechooser/language-name-ascii select English' would do it, but apparently not
[17:05] <ironfroggy_> raheem: thank you for your help.
[17:05] <hoonteke> is there a room for ubuntu administrations?  I'm hesistant to ask my questions on ubuntu-dev ...
[17:05] <sipior> hoonteke: this would be it :-)
[17:05] <Activewrk> ok, I managed to get this tethered, and can ping the internet. However Network manager won't stay connected and I can't surf with it
[17:06] <carlo___> silv3r_m00n: hm, sounds like the regression might have been on the driver side... boy am I looking forward for it to be 'unaffordable' for hardware vendors to neglect linux desktops :)
[17:06] <silv3r_m00n> carlo___: hmm
[17:06] <azurewrathx> hy someone know a good irc perl server??
[17:06] <silv3r_m00n> ubuntu 8.04 is totally fine.. all hardwares works
[17:06] <hoonteke> sipior: hmm, okay.  shucks.  It appears then that no one else has been down the road I'm traveling.  (reference earlier question).   Oh well.
[17:07] <silv3r_m00n> printer camera bluetooth etc
[17:07] <JamesA_> !gpg
[17:07] <azurewrathx>  someone know a good irc perl server??
[17:07] <carlo___> Still looking for the right way to go about building Ubuntu packages for casual use...
[17:07] <azurewrathx>  someone know a good irc perl server??
[17:07] <gmap> Hi,  how do I change the gdm session to .xinitrc?
[17:08] <slippyr41> i managed to remove the bar from the bottom of the screen where open window buttons are, like the windows taskbay. how do i get it back? or, even better, how do i integrate its function into the top bar?
[17:08] <azurewrathx>  someone know a good irc server where discuss per programming??
[17:08] <Flash> azurewrathx, what kind of programming ?
[17:08] <sipior> hoonteke: well, keep asking your question every ten minutes or so...the composition of the channel changes on a regular basis, so a new person may well know what you need
[17:08] <Jkelshac> right click the top panel and select add new panel azurewrathx
[17:08] <carpii> azure, probably #perl on efnet
[17:08] <paul68> is there a good program that I can use to take remote control between a linux pc and a windows pc?
[17:08] <Jkelshac> sorry azurewrathx
[17:08] <ryanprior> I want to be able to control my volume using the applet on gnome-panel, but it doesn't work. Alsa-mixer, however, works fine. How do I get the gnome applet working?
[17:09] <hoonteke> sipior: ah, good point.  this *is* a large room.  heh. thanks
[17:09] <carpii> paul68, theres a few, try vncserver or krdp
[17:09] <Jkelshac> right click the top panel and select add new panel slippyr41
[17:10] <butt> Hi all, does anyone knows how to format a USB fresh drive? I tried to unmount the USB  fresh drive and typed < sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 > in terminal, but it didnt work for me. it said that my USB fresh drive was mount. can someone help me figure this issue out? thanks!!
[17:10] <raheem> hoonteke, personalised support is always available through canonical subscription, just a suggestion, if u r specific
[17:10] <paul68> carpii: and the vncserver needs to be installed on the windows right or am I wrong? and I can use the client version right
[17:10] <ikonia> butt: use gparted
[17:10] <carpii> yes, for vnc thats true. krdp just uses windows remote desktop
[17:10] <butt> gparted is easy to use?
[17:11] <ikonia> butt: very easy gui
[17:11] <carpii> so nothing needs installing on windows
[17:11] <butt> um..thanks. try to find gparted
[17:11] <hoonteke> raheem: that would be awesome, but I'm a grad student, which = no money, and I think I'm close to unsupported stuffs.
[17:11] <sipior> ryanprior: you might try changing which channel the applet controls: try changing it to control the PCM volume
[17:12] <raheem> hoonteke, in that case, u should always try this channel. but, don't expect to get first rate attentions always ;)
[17:12] <hoonteke> raheem: heh, but to prove that I'm not a stingy bastard, I do recommened others to canonical subscription.  :-)
[17:12] <paul68> carpii: since the other workstation is behind a router do I need to do something specific to get through?
[17:13] <carpii> yes youd need to open tcp 3389
[17:14] <raheem> hoonteke, u never knw what will come up. just ask what u got to ..then wait for someone to guide u.. that helps, trust me
[17:14] <hoonteke> raheem: no nope, right there with you.  but given the size of this room, my question of ubuntu-administration is actually a little longer-lived than my recent (< 15m) envoy to this room.
[17:14] <paul68> carpii: is there a way to do this automaticly since the workstation that I need to take control of is from someone with very little IT experience
[17:14] <hoonteke> raheem: but, I will ask again in a few.  Thanks for the encouragement.  It's necessary some times.  ;-)
[17:15] <hoonteke> just now, it's breakfast/lunch time.
[17:15] <carpii> no, theres no automatic way. Thats the whole point of the firewall, to stop people remoting into you ;)
[17:15] <raheem> hoonteke, u r welcome always
[17:16] <ryanprior> sipior: I finally figured it out, it was trying to control my mobo audio rather than my sound card.
[17:16] <carpii> theres a commercial service which lets you remote in without changing router, gotomypc.co.uk or theres a few others
[17:16] <sipior> ryanprior: yeah, that'll do it :-)
[17:16] <carpii> logmeinrescue.com
[17:16] <Flash> logmeinrescue.com ?? lol
[17:16] <carpii> ?
[17:17] <shally87> hi..
[17:17] <Activewrk> Auto Mobile Broadband Connetion won't connect in Network manager...ideas?
[17:17] <shally87> where to get ubuntu command help?
[17:17] <carpii> why is that funny?
[17:17] <Flash> IMO its a joke
[17:17] <carpii> well maybe, but its ok for emergencies
[17:17] <sipior> shally87: right here :-)
[17:17] <eoke> !cli | shally87
[17:18] <paul68> carpii: I agree with you there but since its my uncle its difficult to explain it the correct way
[17:18] <raheem> hoonteke, this could give u hints may be, http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installation_on_ThinkPads_without_CD-ROM_drive
[17:18] <shally87> thanks
[17:18] <shally87> i got this problem of installing xampp
[17:18] <raheem> hoonteke, not sure if that's what u r looking for
[17:18] <shally87> anyone can help me with it?
[17:18] <paul68> carpii: ok thanks
[17:19] <paul68> Flash its not a joke
[17:19] <carpii> paul68, yup, always a problem. it might help to find his router and then read this http://portforward.com/routers.htm
[17:19] <JamesA_> What is the address of the OpenPGP page on launchpad?
[17:19] <cambazz> hello. how do I delete a package i installed with apt-get? for example apache2 ?
[17:19] <Flash> paul68 quick fixes not my thing Sir
[17:19] <slippyr4> everytime i boot, i am asked for a password for unlocking my keyring, (The application 'networkmanager applet' wants access...) how do i stop that? it's irritating.
[17:19] <raheem> hoonteke, you may sign in with ubuntuforums & post your doubts there too ..
[17:20] <usr13> shally87: What is the problem?
[17:20] <paul68> carpii: I know for me its quite simple however not for him
[17:20] <JamesA_> !pgp
[17:20] <shally87> i just cannot use the su command to install xampp
[17:20] <hoonteke> raheem: that's not a bad suggestion
[17:20] <unop> shally87, use sudo instead
[17:20] <usr13> shally87: sudo
[17:20] <shally87> hmm
[17:20] <shally87> ok..
[17:20] <hoonteke> and yes that link is along the lines of what I'm doing.  Thanks for it.  I'm just running into some difficulties with the link I posted earlier.
[17:20] <paul68> Flash: I am not looking for quick fixes just want to be able to help my uncle without having to travel for 2 hours
[17:20] <usr13> !sudo
[17:20] <wiehan> Can I set up ubuntu server to create a wireless hotspot and then to share an internet connection wirelessly?
[17:21] <unop> cambazz, sudo apt-get remove apache2
[17:21] <mpalatnik> thanks sipior
[17:21] <carpii> wiehan, you can normally just do that with any wireless router or access point
[17:21] <Flash> paul68 did you see the "NOT" part ?
[17:21] <shally87> ow ow
[17:21] <usr13> shally87: Ubuntu does not use root account. It is one of the unique things about Ubuntu.
[17:21] <paul68> Flash: oops sorry
[17:21] <Flash> ;)
[17:22] <shally87> oowh
[17:22] <shally87> ok
[17:22] <wiehan> carpii - correct - that is so obvious. What I want to do is set up squid as well as well as some other bandwith monotoring tools... THUS I WANT TO USE UBUNTU SERVER
[17:22] <usr13> shally87: sudo is enabled by default all admin operations.
[17:22] <eoke> wiehan: Look up hostapd
[17:22] <Gnea> !caps | wiehan
[17:22] <shally87> ok
[17:23] <carpii> wiehan, ok yes then, you can so this, but what im saying is you need hardware support from the router etc
[17:23] <shally87> anyway usr13 how to make sudo work on this function
[17:23] <shally87> tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.tar.gz -C /opt
[17:23] <carpii> wiehan, but you also might want to look at ipcop.com which I think has all this built in
[17:23] <Gnea> wiehan: in answer to your original question: yes, youc an.
[17:23] <nour> hi all
[17:23] <usr13> shally87: Are you  using the package manager?
[17:23] <usr13> shally87: apt-get or synaptic?
[17:23] <JamesA_> Why might I receive the following error when receiving an encrypted email in Evolution Mail: "gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available"
[17:23] <nour> how do i go to arabic room
[17:24] <carpii> ipcop.org sorry
[17:24] <wiehan> carpii, gnea thanks
[17:24] <usr13> shally87: The synaptic package manager is easiest. It is a GUI application.
[17:24] <shally87> ok
[17:24] <shally87> look for it a moment
[17:24] <shally87> brb
[17:24] <wiehan> ok, which is relatively better: ipcop, engarde, pfnewsense vs. setting up ubuntu server to do this?
[17:24] <shally87> tq
[17:25] <Joker_-_> hey there, It seems like I have an ALSA problem. I have no sound (altho I can ear a "bump" when I select/deselect "digital output") and when I try an alsa-utils reset, it throws me errors "invalid card number". Might be a driver issue or something like that. Any leads?
[17:25] <carpii> depends whether you need the server to do much more eventually
[17:25] <djungelkraem> is there a recording level monitor for intrepid as there is one for 8.04?
[17:25] <nour> hi all  is there others rooms here
[17:25] <carpii> if youre more concerned about security than adding other apps later, go for ipcop, or streamline etc
[17:25] <carpii> theyre both quite good, i havent tried others
[17:26] <carpii> uh, smoothwall, not streamline
[17:26] <usr13> shally87: What is the name of the package you are wanting to install?  (If you do a search for in in the synaptic package manager, it will show you and present option to install).
[17:26] <Flash> carpii do you have ubuntu server on cd ?
[17:26] <jcfp> !sa | nour
[17:26] <carpii> no Flash
[17:27] <carpii> i dont use ubuntu server, most my servers are red hat
[17:27] <Flash> download it and i will help you set it up
[17:27] <shally87> usr13 it is xampp
[17:27] <carpii> and a ubuntu server virtual machine just for testing things
[17:27] <shally87> now i searching for it but never found one
[17:27] <AlexGC2> carpii, may I know why?  RH over Ubuntu server?
[17:27] <usr13> wiehan: I use ipcop  It is really good. What are you trying to do?
[17:27] <shally87> can get it from apachefriends
[17:27] <carpii> Flash, its not me that needs it ;)
[17:27] <Activewrk> WVdial, show I have an IP address and I can "dig" yahoo, but Network manager won't "connect" and I can't surf the net
[17:27] <Flash> my bad lol carpii
[17:27] <carpii> Alex, its just what ive become familiar with over time. No other reason really
[17:28] <AlexGC2> carpii, thanks
[17:28] <wiehan> usr13: ok, can you monitor internet usage with ipcop - and furthermore, monitor individual user usage with ipcop?
[17:28] <hoonteke> btw, pseudo-tangential to this room, but perhaps of interest, anyone see this go by in the news?  Point 6 would be the most pertinent.
[17:28] <hoonteke> http://www.truthout.org/011209R
[17:29] <pluffsy> is there no smoother way to get a name from a pid then this script: ps ux | awk '/name/ && !/awk/ {print $2}' ? I can't belive it doesn't have it's own command.
[17:29] <Flash> pluffsy should not post scripts in main
[17:29] <carpii> wiehan, ipcop has squid built in i think (or at least as a plugin), so I imagine that gives you lots of control
[17:29] <usr13> shally87: See:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=223410
[17:30] <wiehan> carpii: can you monitor internet usage with ipcop - and furthermore, monitor individual user usage with ipcop?
[17:30] <pluffsy> Flash: uh I'm very sorry. why not with such a short one line script?
[17:30] <usr13> wiehan: Yes, there are plugins for all sorts of stuff like that.
[17:30] <vigo> Rythmbox just does not seem to function properly, is there another repo for it or like it?
[17:30] <Flash> pluffsy, Ignorant users post alot in terminal and scripts can do harm in "many" cases
[17:31] <shally87> tq usr13..
[17:31] <shally87> brb
[17:31] <carpii> pluffsy, you can get a lot of info about a process by looking in /proc/<PID>
[17:31] <hoonteke> Flash: alright, for one-liners, what is the suggestion?
[17:32] <Bizzeh> hi, does ubuntu have a package that will allow me to sync a windows mobile 6.1 based phone?
[17:32] <pluffsy> Flash: alright.
[17:32] <carpii> pluffsy. try like more /proc/32164/cmdline | cut -d" " -f1
[17:32] <carpii> pluffsy. try .....    more /proc/32164/cmdline | cut -d" " -f1
[17:32] <pluffsy> thanks. most shutdown now!
[17:32] <gmathews> Hello, can someone point me to a wiki page on what to do when I add another hard drive - I would like to install Kubuntu on it (I have Ubuntu currently on my system now)
[17:32] <eoke> Bizzeh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/WindowsMobile
[17:33] <carpii> or use 'killall' if youre trying to kill all of similar processes
[17:33] <abe-ny> hi all
[17:33] <Bizzeh> thanks eoke
[17:34] <pdvyas> any alsa expert here?
[17:34] <Gnea> pdvyas: what's the problem?
[17:35] <shally87> usr13 i got problem here.. it says tar: xampp-linux-1.7.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
[17:35] <Activewrk> Can someone help? WVdial, shows I have an IP address and I can "dig" yahoo, but Network manager won't "connect" and I can't surf the net with a USB Modem
[17:35] <pdvyas> my surround sound not working, i've common jacks for line , mic and center/lfe. rear
[17:35] <shally87> is it related to the location of the tar files?
[17:35] <BuckWild> hey, I installed updates on my laptop today and it installed new headers, when I went to reboot my computer it got stuck in a kernel panic
[17:35] <Flash> hoonteke, I guess what im saying is that new users "ignorant" to ubuntu will post just about anything in a terminal. we don"t need people turning away from ubuntu from a mishap ;)
[17:35] <BuckWild> anybody have any idea what was in the new linux headers or whatever
[17:36] <BuckWild> the only way I could get my computer to start was to use grub to go back to the previous version
[17:36] <pdvyas> gnea: there is no option in the alsa mixer to set the no. of channels to 6
[17:36] <Gnea> pdvyas: have you read this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound
[17:36] <sipior> BuckWild: what was the error? also, did it happen more than once?
[17:36] <hoonteke> Flash: oh, I'm with you on that point.  It's a good point.  But there often /is/ a need to critique code or offer suggestions, and the rubric I've heard is < 3 lines is okay.  So what *should* folks do with one-liners with which they need help?
[17:37] <BuckWild> sipior, it happens everytime I start the computer, looks like something about paging and virtual memory
[17:37] <JamesA_> Why is it that even after using the command "gpg --delete-keys" and "gpg --delete-secret-keys" the keys still exist if I use "gpg --list-keys"?
[17:37] <usr13> wiehan: Look for "Net traffic monitoring" a little over half way down the page at:  http://www.ipadd.de/binary.html
[17:37] <usr13> shally87: See:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=223410
[17:37] <sipior> BuckWild: what was the precise error?
[17:37] <pdvyas> gnea: it fails the speaker test
[17:37] <Flash> hoonteke, pastebin is fine.
[17:37] <BuckWild> sipior, "unable to handle kernel paging request" was what the bulk of the messages were
[17:38] <carlf> anyone have any idea how to get my program window buttons back on the bottom of the screen to switch between windows on the desktop...they disappeared today on Ubuntu 64?
[17:38] <BuckWild> sipior, is there a way I can get those errors in one of the logs?
[17:38] <Gnea> pdvyas: k, did you check the other urls on that page? there's more to it than just a test
[17:38] <hoonteke> Flash: overkill, IMHO, but I suppose I don't have a better idea.
[17:38] <eoke> carlf: Do you still have a Bar there
[17:38] <carlf> yes but nothing in it
[17:39] <sipior> BuckWild: check for older versions of /var/log/dmesg
[17:39] <eoke> carlf: Right click > Add to Panel
[17:39] <vijay> Hi ...... i dont know whether im the only one facing this but ....... my system volume in ubuntu is 4-6 times lower than windows
[17:39] <pdvyas> gnea: i've tries asoundrc and setting the model to 3stack and stuff but no luck
[17:39] <sipior> BuckWild: also, it installed a new kernel package along with the headers, right?
[17:39] <vijay> any ideas?
[17:39] <eoke> carlf: Think the one you're most likely looking for is "Window List"
[17:39] <mneptok> carlf: you mean the workspace switcher applet?
[17:40] <latenubuntu> ikonia about the problem with mysql-server installation
[17:40] <carlf> thanks that worked
[17:40] <latenubuntu> it get sorted:)
[17:40] <BuckWild> sipior, believe so, I didn't really pay too much attention to what it was installing but I saw the linux kernel stuff in there and took note because I knew I'd have to recompile my wireless drivers to get them to work
[17:40] <Flash> hoonteke, one line is simply enough to infect a ubuntu user, period.
[17:41] <latenubuntu> i've rinstall the gnome-setting-deamon packeg
[17:41] <carlf> eoke  Thanks a bundle...I was totaly stumped...even looked at that once but did not see window lanuch ...thanks again
[17:42] <hoonteke> Flash: again, I agree with you.  You've made a good point.  I'm just saying that I wish there were "a better way".  pastebin is a good idea, that still seems like overkill to me.  Call it "growing pains" as I change my ways.
[17:42] <eoke> carlf: No worries I think everyone does that at some point or another.
[17:42] <chronix> is the synaptic update manager down or something? i cant download anything
[17:42] <BuckWild> sipior, another interesting bit of trivia is that I was able to boot successfully into the new kernel mod when I used recovery mode
[17:43] <sipior> BuckWild: do you specify any boot options for your kernels?
[17:43] <BuckWild> sipior, so I'm not sure exactly what the difference is between recovery mode and normal boot, but when I booted into recovery mode and got the prompt I hit resume normal boot and it works
[17:43] <cristi> chronix: there are many servers from which you can download packages, maybe the one you choose is down
[17:43] <BuckWild> sipior, should just be default stuff
[17:43] <eoke> chronix: Seems ok here
[17:43] <jedimindlappy> how would i go about specifiying what server apt gets packages from ?
[17:43] <chronix> how do i choose a different server
[17:43] <cristi> chronix: one moment
[17:44] <Activewrk> anyone around who can help with Network Manager?
[17:44] <patholio> evening all
[17:44] <sipior> BuckWild: might be a bug in the package...i didn't manage to find a recent bug report discussing this for ubuntu 8.10.
[17:44] <cristi> chronix: settings->repositories
[17:44] <eoke> chronix: Settings > Repositories > Download from
[17:44] <BuckWild> sipior, I probably should've mentioned, I'm on 8.04
[17:44] <chronix> thanks guys
[17:45] <cristi> chronix: np :)
[17:45] <sipior> BuckWild: well, as long as you've got it working, might as well leave it in place, and see if another kernel package update isn't forthcoming shortly :-) or, consider an upgrade to 8.10?
[17:45] <jedimindlappy> chrisi thats in package manager ?
[17:45] <jedimindlappy> or software sources ?
[17:45] <cristi> jedimindlappy: package manager
[17:45] <Joker_-_> where / what is the /etc/modprobe.conf file in Ubuntu?
[17:45] <jedimindlappy> thanks, funny enough i asked the same question 10 seconds before he did :)
[17:45] <BuckWild> sipior, I guess I can do that, I tried upgrading to 8.10, but the network manager was....shall I say, not a great fit, and the wireless driver in 8.10 for my laptop left loads to be desired
[17:46] <cristi> jedimindlappy: i just joined xD
[17:46] <jedimindlappy> too bad i already started a 300+meg apt-get thats going at a whopping 30k/sec
[17:46] <Joker_-_> where / what is the _/etc/modprobe.conf_ file in Ubuntu?
[17:46] <sipior> BuckWild: maybe best to leave well enough alone, in that case.
[17:46] <cristi> jedimindlappy:  :))
[17:46] <daplumpkin> can anyone help me? i'm having problems with my boot loader
[17:46] <BuckWild> sipior, yeah, I'm hoping that 9.04 will fix some problems that I have with 8.10, and it probably will
[17:46] <tweak66> daplumpkin: what kind of problems
[17:47] <daplumpkin> can i just pm you to free up the main room?
[17:47] <tweak66> yes

[17:49] <tweak66> !grub
[17:50] <usr13> cristi: So, during the boot process, it has stopped to do a file system check on your hard drives?  Is that the issue?
[17:50] <s0101> is it possible to channge ubuntu 8.10 harddrive encryption password?
[17:50] <ardchoille> mar77i: I have nvidia 6200 card and the 96 drivers actually work better than the others
[17:50] <Joker_-_> eoke: aight then where can I do that in ubuntu: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/FAQ Point 3.15
[17:51] <Qtpaxa> ardchoille: i heard they have problems with ooffice and k3b.. it's that true?
[17:51] <Qtpaxa> and that u have tu enable proposed repos
[17:51] <ardchoille> Qtpaxa: No problems with OO.o here but I don't use any kde apps
[17:51] <cristi> usr13: no, that's not really the issue. The issue is that it jams at around 6% and doesnt allow me to start the x server, and the login is not correct for some reason. So if there's no other way, i'd rather disable this scan so i won't have to do it manually all the time
[17:51] <ardchoille> Qtpaxa: I have never used proposed repos, it's a bad idea
[17:51] <Qtpaxa> ardchoille: neither do I, just asking :D
[17:52] <Qtpaxa> ardchoille: u don't need to enable proposed???
[17:52] <mar77i> ardchoille, you must have mistaken me for Qtpaxa
[17:52] <ardchoille> The 96 drivers with my nvidia card actually made compiz run better
[17:52] <ardchoille> Qtpaxa: I have never used proposed
[17:52] <usr13> cristi: What "scan" are you talking about?  Is it a scan of the hard drive?
[17:52] <ardchoille> mar77i: yes, I did, sorry about that
[17:52] <s0101> can i remove or change the 8.10 hd encryption password?
[17:53] <eoke> Joker_-_: Probably /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[17:53] <Boomking> is this the right place to ask for help ? :P
[17:53] <cristi> usr13: yes, it scans sda1, my hard drive
[17:53] <eoke> Boomking: Yes one of many ;)
[17:53] <ardchoille> Boomking: this is a support channel for Ubuntu
[17:53] <usr13> cristi: Is it giving an error of some sort?
[17:53] <Joker_-_> eoke: I think it was in /etc/modprobe.d/options
[17:53] <Joker_-_> eoke: I'm tryin that an see what will happen
[17:53] <Boomking> i downloaded the live Cd
[17:53] <Boomking> and booted from it ,
[17:53] <Boomking> then hit install and all i got was a blinking underscore
[17:53] <Boomking> no cd spinning no hd flashing
[17:53] <Boomking> any ideas ?? *Spec's* 4400x2 brisbane 4 gigs ddr2 jetway am2 bord with 690v chipset , 8600gts card
[17:53] <FloodBot1> Boomking: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:54] <rabikumar> i installed ubuntu 8.11 and not getting graphical mode i m only gettig textmode .i tried startx bt it for no use
[17:54] <usr13> cristi: You may have hardware problem with that drive.  If the filesystem is corrupt, you will not be able to boot the OS.
[17:54] <ardchoille> rabikumar: you mean ubuntu 8.10?
[17:54] <Joker_-_> eoke: nope, you are right
[17:54] <Joker_-_> eoke: just checked the file you pointed out.
[17:54] <rabikumar> yes
[17:54] <eoke> Joker_-_: Lucky guess ;)
[17:54] <bazhang> Boomking, did you md5 the iso, burn slowly then do the disk integrity check?
[17:54] <cristi> usr13: yes, in the black screen, and then i simply have a terminal
[17:54] <Boomking> well it works on another system
[17:55] <usr13> cristi: Did you do a proper shut down?  Or did you somehow cut the power to the running machine?
[17:55] <Boomking> and not even the test works on this machine :S
[17:55] <usr13> cristi: What does the propmt look like?
[17:55] <cristi> usr13: no. it's the routine check of drives
[17:56] <rabikumar> see i m getting command mode screen with #prompt but culdnt be able 2 goo inside graphical mode
[17:56] <rafaelscj> Flash
[17:56] <Joker_-_> eoke: rebooting...
[17:56] <Boomking> Bazhang in desparation i downloaded the amd64 version and the same thing
[17:56] <cristi> usr13: i really can't say, i can restart and take some notes for you, if you'll be here afted 10 mins?
[17:56] <eoke> Joker_-_: Good luck
[17:56] <s0101> news for people who get a black screen after activating nividia driver with 8.10 and old geforce cards (I had the same problem and the solution was to use driver 96)
[17:56] <spsneo> I am on gnome with ubuntu ibex. I am not able to set http proxy authentication with network proxy . What to do?
[17:57] <usr13> cristi: fsck  Yes, that is the file system check which is a routine operation.  It is done if the system is not shut down cleanly, or after about 25 reboots.  If there are errors it will try to fix them.  If they cannot be fixed, you will need to replace the drive.
[17:57] <cristi> usr13: i don't think it's the hard drive because it's my only hard drive and it works just fine
[17:58] <usr13> cristi: Do you know what drive your OS is installed on?
[17:58] <anteaya> is there something wrong with the repositories? synaptic keeps giving me errors saying it can't find the update
[17:58] <cristi> usr13: sda1, my only, i guess
[17:58] <s0101> I installed ubuntu with full hd encryption and i would like to remove or at least change the password because i will have other people using this computer
[17:58] <usr13> cristi: Do you have a USB drive plugged into the machine at this time?  Or some other drive?
[17:58] <eoke> anteaya: Someone else just posted something similar
[17:58] <cristi> usr13: just the mouse..
[17:58] <tweak66> should be nothing wrong with repositories.. i just updated
[17:59] <anteaya> eoke, cool, at least I know it isn't me then
[17:59] <usr13> cristi: What do you see on the screen now?
[17:59] <cristi> usr13: note that this is a laptop..
[17:59] <anteaya> eoke, hope the powers that be already know about this
[17:59] <eoke> tweak66: Different people use different repositories
[17:59] <usr13> cristi: Ok, good. That is useful info.
[17:59] <cristi> usr13: i am running just fine. if i skip the check it runs normally
[18:00] <eoke> anteaya: You could try changing the repository source Synaptic > Settings > Repositories > Download From

[18:00] <cristi> usr13: if i don't, i get a prompt, and after i try to start x, it says that it cannot be started and i get a login which doesn't really work
[18:00] <BuckWild> hey, does anyone know how to search and see if someone's aware of this bug?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6637549
[18:01] <archangelpetro> carpii: have you ever had an issue where the screen is just a blank screen with blinking cursor?
[18:01] <BuckWild> because I just encountered that same exact problem on 8.04 after the updates today
[18:01] <Joker_-_> eoke: ok rebooted, now I dont get any error with alsa, but the cards are still not in a great order... th emain card (sound blaster audigy) is card #2 as in -c0, -c1, -c2
[18:01] <usr13> cristi: Oh, I see.    Well, sounds like there is a problem with the hard drive.  You should look closely at what it says when it scans because it will give you important clues as to what might be wrong.  My guess is that the Hard Drive is in the early stages of failure.
[18:01] <bazhang> Boomking, this is the busybox you get? or nothing at all
[18:01] <The-Compiler> -.-
[18:01] <carpii> arch: no not that i can recall. But Ive only ever installed 8.04 not 8.10
[18:01] <Boomking> say what ? :P
[18:01] <carpii> arch: plus its an 8G pen. Maybe larger pens would have trouble booting (if they even make larger pens, Im not sure)
[18:02] <usr13> cristi: Or, your filesystem may have become corrupt somehow.
[18:02] <cristi> usr13: omg, like i just bought this computer 1 month ago or something
[18:02] <carpii> arch, make sure you safely 'eject' the usb pen after using unetbootin, maybe there is data in cache which hasnt yet been written to it
[18:02] <matti_> SGI worksations
[18:02] <cristi> usr13: i'll relog and if i get the scan i'll take some notes and come back for some feedback. it will take around 10 mins. ok?
[18:02] <mo7> cristi, did you try to boot from live cd and do a fsck manually?
[18:02] <eoke> Joker_-_: Sorry to here that unfortunately I'm not an expert in that area (or any other ;) )
[18:03] <cristi> mo7: no..
[18:03] <archangelpetro> carpii: the odd thing is, it boots on one one of my laptop, but not the one with the broken CDrom drive :(
[18:03] <tweak66> what's wrong cristi?
[18:03] <usr13> cristi: Doesn't matter how long ago you bought it.  A hard drive can fail at any time.  But not seeing what you are seeing, I can not tell for sure.  Like I said, you need to look carefully at the information that is printed on the screen.
[18:03] <usr13> cristi: k
[18:03] <Joker_-_> eoke: well, you pointed the right file (I guess) wich helped so thanks. Ill see if it does work when I come back home tonight.
[18:03] <nbuntu> ok so i stopped using the ati proprietry drivers in 8.10 and now the screen randomly flickers from dark to light (as if it was switching from ac to battery and back) however the problem is not a physical one (no lose wiring) any ideas - using ati open source drivers on 8.10
[18:03] <carpii> arch, have you removed the broken cdrom from your bios boot order ?
[18:03] <eoke> No worries Joker_-_ one of the others may also be able to help you.
[18:03] <archangelpetro> carpii: so, i'm really confused as to what's going on
[18:04] <Joker_-_> yup
[18:04] <s0101> Could somebody please help me
[18:04] <s0101> ?
[18:04] <archangelpetro> carpii: yes, i can manually set also to boot from usb, but it just goes to the blank screen
[18:04] <BleSS> hi! does anybody knows any software to build organigrams?
[18:04] <tweak66> s0101 with what?

[18:05] <hemanth> BleSS, get me the link to it
[18:05] <tweak66> like organ music?
[18:05] <s0101> i would like to remove or at least change my password for full hd encryption in 8.10
[18:05] <carpii> ok arch, i dont know why that would be. It should at least get into the boot stage unless the image was corrupt i would have thought
[18:05] <nbuntu> hey what reason could there be for the screen flickering from light to dark randomly?
[18:05] <usr13> !encryption
[18:05] <tweak66> !encrypt
