[19:35] <kc8pxy> Adakos:  you do know that both the switch and the server(the pc using bonding on that end) need to know about the bonding,   right?
[19:35] <zetheroo> gaintsura: hmmm .. i don't really know what I am looking for
[19:35] <dude7070> I have it enable in VirtualBox,, do i need to type any command in Ubuntu to access it ? how can I access it ?
[19:36] <hendrik_> ChrisGilmore: maybe mysql only runs on the loopback device :?
[19:36] <Adakos> kc8pxy: yeah, it's an enterprise switch that fully supports link aggregation (i.e. bonding)
[19:36] <Twili> I need help!  Please!!!
[19:36] <Twili> http://paste.ubuntu.com/40730/
[19:36] <Twili> There's my problem
[19:36] <kc8pxy> Adakos:  does the kernel on the server understand bonding?
[19:36] <Dabbu> dude7070:u will have to install virtualbox addon in guest OS
[19:36] <jorge__> hi
[19:36] <ChrisGilmore> hendrick_: meaning?
[19:37] <jorge__> how i can install .ter.bz2???
[19:38] <Gillpy> !tgz
[19:38] <Adakos>  kc8pxy: thats the problem. every time i set it up according to guides i've found it gives me fatal kernel errors on boot (or rather, on the starting of the bond)
[19:38] <Adakos> sorry if i doubleposted, my irc acted up
[19:38] <jorge__> gnome
[19:39] <jpds> !compile | jorge__
[19:39] <kc8pxy> Adakos:  mind going /msg?
[19:39] <carandraug> jorge__: files in that format are usually only the source code. You'll need the binary or to compile it
[19:39] <Adakos> not at all
[19:39] <draeath> Hmmm i found something nifty that seems to work well. Anyone else use LUKS disk encryption?
[19:39] <jpds> draeath: Sure.
[19:40] <prince_jammys> jorge__: have you checked whether the package is available through APT?
[19:40] <zetheroo> anyone have any clue why FF3 is acting up for me ..?
[19:40] <Refefer> zetheroo, what's it doing
[19:40] <draeath> It seems the normal way to do so is to set up LVM first, then do LUKS. I did it the other way around... now my root and swap are protected in the same contigious encryption (with a single passphrase). suspend-to-disk works that way too!
[19:40] <zetheroo> Refefer: an array of strange things ...
[19:40] <Refefer> zetheroo, such as?
[19:40] <jorge__> thanks
[19:41] <zetheroo> Refefer: for example sometimes I minimize it and my system crashes so hard I have to power off by holding the power button
[19:41] <draeath> So, I have /dev/hda1 as /boot, and /dev/hda2 is encrypted. That gets unlocked, the 'drive' under that then gets LVMed into peices.
[19:41] <seb90210> hi room
[19:41] <dmizer> my username in ppp properties keeps reverting to its old settings.  i've edited both pap and chap-secrets to remove the old settings, but the username still remains ... how can i change it?
[19:41] <Refefer> zetheroo, wow, that doesn't sound good.  Do you have any addons or extentions installed?
[19:41] <zetheroo> Refefer: of sometimes when I right click on a link or anywhere on the web page it launches the SaveAs dialog or bookmarks etc ...
[19:42] <carandraug> zetheroo: you should use SysRq instead of power button in those cases
[19:42] <zetheroo> carandraug: SysRq?
[19:42] <seb90210> todays kernel update 2.6.24-19 renders my system unbootable, has anyone experienced this
[19:42] <zetheroo> Refefer: yes a few extensions
[19:43] <Guest47918> after upgrading to hardy apache2 was pointing at /var/www. as it once were but i want it to point to /var/ftp/webbserver   so when i pointed enabled sites and availabled sites in etc/apache2 to my webbserver folder i cant longer see any of content since it says i dont got permission.... but according to my graphical explorer it says that i got full permission... what to do?
[19:43] <zetheroo> Refefer: Download Status Bar, Download Helper, FlashGot and Save Complete ....they all worked very well in the past
[19:43] <Refefer> zetheroo, have you tried disabling them and seeing whether or not it fixes the stability problems?  Also, what plugins do you have installed(flash, etc.)
[19:43] <pbrown985> Ubuntu updated the kernel today and now my music wont play. I get this error in the syslog.  Pulseaudio 5635 module asa sink.c error opening PCMCIA Device.  System busy.
[19:43] <massmc_> test
[19:44] <pbrown985> anyone have any ideas?
[19:44] <zetheroo> Refefer: Plugins .. yes a number
[19:44] <Mecha25> this is probably blasphemous, but anybody know how I can get Nano style keybaord shortcuts for regular terminal editing?  like the set -o vi option
[19:44] <seb90210> pbrown, todays kernel gets stuck on my system on the splash screen, even failsafe mode
[19:44] <pbrown985> My system is normal other than the sound wont work
[19:45] <pbrown985> It will play wav but nor MP3 or Cd
[19:45] <Mecha25> as much as I like vi, I'm trying to switch to dvorak, and unless I can use the dvorak vim script for the regular terminal, I'm going to want a different set of shortcuts
[19:45] <Refefer> zetheroo, I would try running FF3 with a clean profile (no extentions) and see if that clears it up.  I would also try uninstalling it and reinstalling it, and purging the configuration files
[19:45] <carandraug> zetheroo: I don't know about your FF3 problem. SysRq is a list of keyboards shortcuts you can use to send orders directly to the kernel (and LInux kernel should answer because it shouldn't be frozen). If you press Alt+SysRq (look in PrtScn) you give the kernel the order to turn off, unmounting everything first and all that stuff
[19:45] <pbrown985> Any idea on a remedy for the sound issue?
[19:46] <Refefer> zetheroo, just on the off chance something went wrong
[19:46] <seb90210> i thought something like this would be unacceptable on an ubuntu system, updates breaking stuff
[19:46] <dmizer> pbrown985 check your volume settings ... the kernel update may have reverted them.
[19:46] <dmizer> my username in ppp properties keeps reverting to its old settings.  i've edited both pap and chap-secrets to remove the old settings, but the username still remains ... how can i change it?
[19:46] <zetheroo> carandraug: ok ... sounds good
[19:46] <Oprtz> hi guys
[19:46] <pbrown985> they are all good
[19:46] <carandraug> zetheroo: Alt+Sysrq+ a letter. Different letters have diferent effects. To turn off safelly in those cases, you should use the order REISUB
[19:46] <pbrown985> it locks up amrock
[19:47] <zetheroo> Refefer: yeah .. I suppose I could do that ...

[19:50] <zamadatix> but i stil cant get it to find any networks
[19:50] <Guest47918> after upgrading to hardy apache2 was pointing at /var/www. as it once were but i want it to point to /var/ftp/webbserver   so when i pointed enabled sites and availabled sites in etc/apache2 to my webbserver folder i cant longer see any of content since it says i dont got permission.... but according to my graphical explorer it says that i got full permission... "Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/f

[19:51] <draeath> Where is the dpkg cache data stored during install, prior to base-system being installed to target? (ie, just after partitioning) - normally when I've needed to play with things I chrooted after base-install.

[19:54] <ZeroA4> Oprtz, hi :)
[19:54] <carandraug> gigabyte: to install something in ubuntu you don't use exe files. There's servers to where you access, called repositories, where you can select what to install. Look in applications > Add/remove.. and serach for what you want there
[19:54] <Oprtz> :)

[19:57] <carandraug> zamadatix: you should also tell what's your wifi card, not only the laptop model. Also, you should qrite all your problem in one line so one doesn't need to search all the pieces throuh the channel noise. Note: I'm not saying I'll help you, don't know much of wifi, just telling what to do to find help easier
[19:57] <Oprtz> u there ZeroA4?

[19:59] <Pici> Yes.. we know the bots are going crazy, no need to be alarmed.
[19:59] <prabu> any 1 knows how to install a software ?
[19:59] <Pici> prabu: What software?
[19:59] <Flannel> !synaptic | prabu
[19:59] <carandraug> gigabyte: before starting installing everything you had on WIndows through Wine, make sure there's no open source alternative that suits you. IN the case of most games like Diablo II you'll have to use Wine, that's for sure but for stuff like MSN messenger, Winamp, Photoshop, etc.. you will find nice alternatives
[20:00] <prabu> browser software
[20:00] <carandraug> prabu: to install something in ubuntu you don't use exe files. There's servers to where you access, called repositories, where you can select what to install. Look in applications > Add/remove.. and serach for what you want there

[20:00] <prabu> i downloaded d setup but i cant open tat
[20:00] <carandraug> prabu: what do you mean by browser software?
[20:01] <nw15062> what is d setup?
[20:01] <prabu> avant browser
[20:01] <nw15062> wat is the file extension?
[20:01] <nw15062> .exe? .tar.gz? .deb? .rpm?
[20:01] <prabu> i after u download tat u can see d setup icon on d desktop
[20:01] <prabu> exe
[20:01] <carandraug> prabu: in Ubuntu you don't download exe files from the net. You either compile it from the open source or get a deb file. You'll most likely find deb files in the repositories
[20:02] <carandraug> !u | prabu
[20:02] <nw15062> for exe you need to install wine first
[20:02] <Pici> !awn | prabu
[20:02] <nw15062> sudo apt-get install wine
[20:02] <mikele> There are a nokia 6630's user????
[20:02] <nw15062> or open synaptics and search for wine
[20:03] <nw15062> exe are windows bin files and are not nativly compatible with linux
[20:03] <Doska> hiall....  i need do rip PS2 Games in hardy,....
[20:03] <stabbim> i think prabu might be taling about the avant web broswer - i used to use it
[20:03] <jhattara> Pici, he meant Avant browser (wiki.avantbrowser.com)
[20:03] <j800r> yo, umm, is there a way of fixing the way firefox 3 crashes all the time when loading video? :\
[20:03] <prabu> yes
[20:03] <Pici> jhattara: Ah...
[20:03] <nw15062> yeah update to flash 10 beta
[20:03] <gigabyte> What is this OS really used for?
[20:03] <Refefer> j800r, what type of videos?
[20:03] <jazzmann> no I have 6230i
[20:03] <nw15062> it will correct the youtube crash
[20:03] <Flannel> gigabyte: Stuff you use any OS for.
[20:04] <j800r> Refefer,  all kinds really

[20:04] <Doska> hiall....  i need do rip PS2 Games in hardy,.... i have DVD decripter (WINE) and it says "No device detected" Why is this happening?
[20:04] <j800r> mostly flash, mpg, wmv, etc
[20:04] <prabu> caran how to download deb file ?
[20:04] <Refefer> j800r, does it hard crash?  or freeze than crash?
[20:04] <prabu> i have no idea
[20:05] <j800r> just shuts firefox down
[20:05] <j800r> before the video finishes loading
[20:05] <stabbim> so here's a weird one: somehow, while trying to configure a dial-up/PPP connection in the Gnome Network Manager, I seem to have killed my wifi
[20:05] <Refefer> j800r, have you tried reinstalling FF3?
[20:05] <kbrosnan> j800r: what sort of flash are you using?
[20:05] <Gnea> Doska: you 'need' to rip PS2 Games?
[20:05] <nw15062> from what i understand there is a bug in flash 9 that is prone to crashing in youtube and other web videos, I heard it has been fixed in flash 0 beta.
[20:05] <stabbim> I'm not sure what happened, I didn't touch anything but the PPP connection, but after doing that I am unable to associate to any wifi AP
[20:05] <j800r> kbrosnan, adobe
[20:05] <j800r> and yes, i've tried reinstalling ff3
[20:05] <Doska> gnea copy DVDs or burn downloades ISO files
[20:06] <RoshanK> anyone here good with grub's menu.lst?
[20:06] <Refefer> j800r, did you purge the configuration files?
[20:06] <corigo> I am trying to copy a file, but Ubuntu keeps complaining that the file size exceeds the maximum for the file type. Now I know this file works. How can I copy the file and ignore this error?
[20:06] <kbrosnan> j800r: from sysnaptic?
[20:06] <Gnea> Doska: sorry, we don't support piracy here.
[20:06] <carandraug> prabu: avant browser doesn't give deb files nor releases the source code to be compiled for Linux systems like UBuntu. You need to either use wine (and it may or may not run with it) which can make it slightly slower, or use an alternative. I recommend Firefox3
[20:06] <j800r> kbrosnan,  usually via apt-get :\
[20:06] <gigabyte> Are their any other major apps you need to have, like "Wine"
[20:07] <j800r> Refefer,  erm...explain please?
[20:07] <carandraug> gigabyte: to do what?
[20:07] <reikalusikka> I really need help I'm desperate.  My screen has these hundreds of lines next to each other or something?
[20:07] <stabbim> When I tell the machine to associate to an AP, the network-manager icon starts rotating, but neither of the dots goes green, and the AP shows no attempt to connect from my wifi card
[20:07] <Gnea> reikalusikka: please watch your language
[20:07] <kbrosnan> j800r: same essentially, just wanted to make sure your not using v10rc. Are you in a 64 bit system?
[20:07] <jjlee> does anybody know how to tell whether you have USB 2-capable USB ports?
[20:07] <nw15062> alternative browsers include Firefox, Opera, and Epiphany
[20:07] <RoshanK> anyone here good with grub's menu.lst?
[20:07] <Flannel> !anyone | RoshanK
[20:07] <prabu> ok .  where can i get d firebox3 ?
[20:07] <Refefer> j800r, when you use 'apt-get remove Firefox3' without the --purge tag, it doesn't remove the configuration files for FF3 from your home directory
[20:07] <j800r> kbrosnan,  nop, intel x86
[20:08] <nw15062> what edits do you need to the grub menu?
[20:08] <kbrosnan> Refefer: it also does not nuke your bookmarks
[20:08] <Refefer> kbrosnan, true
[20:08] <carandraug> prabu: in the add/remove menu
[20:08] <reikalusikka> I really need help I'm desperate. I installed the new updates and then restarted my computer as asked, now it's all fu**ed up. My screen has these hundreds of lines next to each other or something?
[20:08] <Refefer> kbrosnan, but those are easy to backup
[20:08] <Gnea> prabu: sudo apt-get install firefox3
[20:08] <jhattara> applications > add/remove > search firefox from list and install
[20:08] <edu> Hi. Does anyone know if there is support for Ad-Hoc with the zd1211 wireless chipset? Because I set the option and it doesn't give an error, but it doesn't work at all. I've seen the driver webpage (zd1211rw) and it says that Ad-Hoc is not implemented yet. Howver, if it is not implemented, why I don't get any erro when setting it with the "iwconfig" command?
[20:08] <Doska> Gnea, i need to know If my Drive CAN burn DVD, how can i tell?
[20:08] <jjlee> I have "EHCI" mentioned in my dmesg, but not sure if that's just due to the fact that I have a USB 2-capable hub plugged in
[20:08] <jjlee> too lazy to reboot ;-)
[20:08] <kbrosnan> though Refefer is right, backing up your ~/.mozilla and apt-get purge might help
[20:08] <Flannel> reikalusikka: again, no need for language.  Even obfuscated.  Try rebooting to an older kernel.
[20:08] <Gnea> reikalusikka: dude, masking the word doesn't change anything - don't do it.
[20:09] <prabu> ok i will try now
[20:09] <nw15062> Prabu, you should already have it if you have ubuntu, otherwise type sudo apt-get install firefox into the terminal
[20:09] <j800r> Refefer, do i put the --purge at the end of apt-get remove?
[20:09] <RoshanK> i am unable to boot ubuntu for some reason and get error 17 from grub. i think that if anything i made some changes to my gdm themes and possibly edited a line in menu.lst bur cant remember what. my menu.lst is here: http://pastebin.com/m2014b42b
[20:09] <reikalusikka> It's not my ____ mother tongue, I don't know how else to expres my self
[20:09] <Doska> gnea brasero shows DVD-RAM GSAH55N
[20:09] <reikalusikka> how do I reboot to other kernel?
[20:09] <Refefer> j800r, that should be fine.  but as kbrosnan pointed out, back up your bookmarks if they're important to you
[20:09] <nw15062> roshank a error in grub is not a gdm issue
[20:09] <Myrtti> reikalusikka: then change the channel to #ubuntu-fi
[20:09] <Flannel> reikalusikka: choose it at the grub menu, hit escape aftre your POST
[20:10] <j800r> Refefer,  tbh, it's my addons i don't like losing and reinstalling each time lol
[20:10] <reikalusikka> ok
[20:10] <Gnea> Doska: i'm sorry, but we simply cannot support your piracy.
[20:10] <carandraug> reikalusikka: in the GRUB menu there's a list with older kernels. Try the one before the update
[20:10] <reikalusikka> ok
[20:10] <nw15062> reika just hit escape at grub to select a different kernal or even the failsafe one
[20:10] <RoshanK> nw15062, i understand, its just that i dont remember what i may have messed up in menu.lst. i think i edited some line at some point. once agai its at http://pastebin.com/m2014b42b
[20:10] <j800r> ok, i'll give purging a go :\
[20:11] <jmichelse1> j800r: what was thi initial problem?

[20:12] <j800r> jjlee,  you talking bout sudo? :\
[20:12] <jjlee> j800r: not sure exactly what you're doing, but remember stored passwords are there, and not stored in the clear
[20:12] <prabu> where can i find software for ubuntu ?
[20:12] <j800r> ahhh ya
[20:13] <jjlee> j800r: just vaguely picked up that you're upgrading firefox, and people were reminding to backup your data first
[20:13] <Pici> !software | prabu
[20:13] <spunk> Hello all, I've run into ppl talking about "ubuntueee". I didn't get any smarter googling for it. Anyone with a pointer to info about it?
[20:13] <j800r> jjlee,  i'm not upgrading
[20:13] <RoshanK> i am unable to boot ubuntu for some reason and get error 17 from grub. i think that if anything i made some changes to menu.lst but cant remember what. my menu.lst is here: http://pastebin.com/m2014b42b
[20:13] <jjlee> j800r: cool
[20:13] <prabu> thanks
[20:13] <j800r> i was advised to reinstall due to my problem
[20:13] <reikalusikka> lol, now it works fine
[20:13] <reikalusikka> just reboot
[20:13] <gigabyte> !Packages
[20:14] <seb90210> error 17 in grub means there was a filesystem change
[20:14] <Doska> Piracy, Yeah... now, Gnea, ¿Can you tell me how to know if my unit is able to Write DVDs?
[20:14] <j800r> so no one else ever experienced the problem with video in firefox 3 ? :\
[20:15] <seb90210> j800r are you using gnash or flash, glash is the unreliable part
[20:15] <JLF_> #lfs-support
[20:15] <j800r> adobe flash
 try booting from a livecd and see if you can access your hard drive
[20:15] <jhattara> j800r, i don't know if it's about video but i've crashed FF twice after i installed ubuntu two weeks ago
[20:15] <j800r> it's been like it constantly. my dad's experienced the same problem
[20:16] <drkwolf> &VgAnsy2bwOCs4nq
[20:16] <jhattara> j800r, any specific site that crashes it ?
[20:16] <JLF_> Hi people. New here. Can somene tell me how I get into a specific channel?
[20:16] <linus> hi
[20:16] <jpds> JLF_: /join #channelname
[20:16] <j800r> jhattara,  not really. it does it on youtube.com, metacafe, and some more *cough* adult orientated sites :\
[20:17] <JLF_> Thanks jpds
[20:18] <mbrigdan> j800r: The version of flash for linux appears to have a memory leak or something, so that might be causing it. (Flash ended up taking 400MB of RAM at one point for me :\ )
[20:18] <j800r> mbrigdan,  but it happens on wmv and mpeg as well :\
[20:19] <liquid2[laptop]> hey, can anyone help me with installing grub in my roomie's laptop?
 for the flash try installing noscript and only allowing the video object on each page
[20:19] <gigabyte> Does ubuntu support SLI?
[20:19] <mbrigdan> j800r: hrm, I can't really help you then, but I'm pretty much a noob, so don't give up asking.
[20:20] <j800r> solar_george,  i already use noscript
 not a clue then
[20:20] <seb90210> gigabyte sli is supported with the nvidia drivers
[20:20] <j800r> my current addons are noscript, addblock plus, boost, and downthemall :\
[20:20] <JLF_> I need to get into #lfs-support on irc.linuxfromscratch.org -- how do I do that? Thanks. :)
look at the help for your client - you need to join the server first
[20:21] <Wicky656> is there a way to launch a command in an init script as a non root user?
[20:21] <prabu> how to change .exe file to .deb file ?
[20:21] <JLF_> Can anyone please help me. I am new here. --  I need to get into #lfs-support on irc.linuxfromscratch.org -- how do I do that? Thanks. :)
[20:21] <carandraug> prabu: you can't
[20:22] <liquid2[laptop]> can anyone help me with installing grub?
 you could try starting it with wine though
[20:22] <j800r> another question. i can never seem to get the ubuntu splash working for me after install. it'll work on the live cd, but never after install :\
[20:22] <stripedcat> Hi guys! I have problem! How to remove installed Google earth from Ubuntu? apt-get remove or how???
[20:22] <unop> Wicky656, yes, place your command in the /etc/rc.local file
[20:22] <prabu> then where can i find .deb file ? caran
 could you be more precise what do you need help with
[20:22] <j800r> stripedcat,  it would partially depend on how you installed it
[20:22] <jhattara> prabu, if you're still looking for the avant browser i don't think there is one
[20:22] <Wicky656> unop: wont that still be launching the command as root?
[20:23] <unop> Wicky656, you can use sudo
[20:23] <carandraug> prabu: I've told you before. Blame the guys that make the browser for not releasing the source nor compiling it for Ubuntu
[20:23] <gigabyte> What is sudo?
[20:23] <jrib> !sudo | gigabyte
[20:23] <Wicky656> unop: can I use sudo in init as well?
[20:23] <j800r> gah..he beat me to it :\
[20:23] <unop> Wicky656, sure
[20:23] <linus> i just instelled ubuntu hardy heron on a packard bell easynote BG laptop. problem is the gnome panel doesnt fit the screen. it looks like it is adjusted to a lower resolution . the same goes for the loginscreen. ideas anyone?
[20:24] <stripedcat> I installed it via .bin file which I downloaded form their site
[20:24] <unop> Wicky656,  sudo -u $other_user  command
[20:24] <jhattara> prabu, if you're looking for something else you should first start by checking if that software or something similar can be found from Add/Remove found from the Applications menu
[20:24] <amal029> why do people put *!* which is an event in there commands
[20:24] <gigabyte> !sudo
[20:24] <godmode117> hi y'all, should i get the updates???
[20:24] <liquid2[laptop]> I try running "grub-install /media/disk-1", solar_george, but it tells me that hte format of install_device isn't recognized
[20:24] <stripedcat> how to remove it???
[20:24] <jrib> !enter | stripedcat
[20:24] <stripedcat> ok
[20:24] <solar_george> liquid2[laptop]> you need the /dev/ name of the device
[20:25] <godmode117> hi y'all, should i get the updates???
[20:25] <JDahl> I lost wireless capability on 8.04 after updates;  when I click on network connections there's no wireless menu at all.  Is that a known problem with recent upgrades?
[20:25] <Refefer> godmode117, yes
[20:25] <godmode117> k
[20:25] <godmode117> thanks
[20:25] <j800r> stripedcat: umm...i'm not too sure about bin file installations if it wasn't in a package... did you install it through wine or independently? :\
[20:25] <chubs> godmode117: why wouldn' you?
[20:25] <prabu> so i cant put software according to my choice . rite ?
[20:25] <solar_george> liquid2[laptop]> use " mount" to find the corresponding entry
[20:25] <carandraug> linus: you mean that the panel is smaller than the monitor width?
[20:25] <stripedcat> independently...
[20:25] <linus> yes that is it
[20:25] <tamer> can i install photoshop CS3 on my ubuntu ?
[20:25] <tamer> by wine
[20:25] <freakazoid> lol
[20:25] <jrib> stripedcat: delete where it installed to
[20:26] <stripedcat> where is it installed?
[20:26] <linus> and the lower panel is higher up than the bottom of the screen.
[20:26] <stripedcat> Where it could be?
[20:26] <carandraug> linus: right click in the panel and select in properties. The option expand is probably not selected. Select it
[20:26] <chubs> hey guys, so looking online all over the place it seems that dell rebranded lexmark printers (specifically the aio 928) do not work at all under linux. does anyone know of any possible way to get some functionality?
[20:26] <jhattara> prabu, you can, but you need either an installation package (.deb), sources, or something else that is made to run in linux
[20:26] <liquid2[laptop]> I have /boot in it's own partition, solar_george, so I tried "grub-install /dev/sda6", solar_george , but it said that it "couldn't find a device for /boot: not found or not a block device"
[20:26] <jrib> stripedcat: if you didn't change the default location, see: http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=44713&cbid=1buhh89pol2r4&src=cb&lev=answer
[20:26] <baastrup> how do I foce apt-get to belive that a packages with worng deps is ok?
[20:26] <liquid2[laptop]> We installed ubuntu, and then windows, so we're in a live cd trying to reinstall grub, solid_liq
[20:27] <stripedcat> ok
[20:27] <AzizLight> is there a way to use pcmanfm with fluxbox? every time I try I get an error when I launch pcmanfm and it breaks the fb menus in the right click: http://pastebin.com/dc960b25
[20:27] <j800r> baastrup,  if it has damaged or incorrect dependencies then it's not ok :\
[20:27] <prabu> brb
[20:27] <jhattara> prabu, if you're looking for something specific that you cannot find in the Add/Remove ask here first, someone might just be able to help you
[20:27] <baastrup> j800r: it is oki, the system dossent know ;-)
[20:27] <prabu> ok
[20:27] <carandraug> prabu: you can. But the whoever make the software must allow you to and the guys from Avant browser doesn't.
[20:28] <baastrup> j800r: installed a newer packages but then it dossent fit the right deps but it works
[20:28] <prabu> i need 1 browser
[20:28] <j800r> the dependencies should be included in the deb :\
[20:28] <j800r> ..strange
[20:28] <Refefer> prabu, firefox 3 would work fine
[20:28] <carandraug> prabu: doesn't firefox 3 work?
[20:28] <jjlee> the answer to my question turns out to be, in my case: unplug and replug USB 2 hub, and it logs whether it's using EHCI (USB 2) or UHCI (ends up in /var/log/messages)
[20:28] <prabu> and ubuntu needs antivirus ?
[20:28] <jhattara> prabu, start add/remove applications from the applications menu or open terminal
[20:28] <carandraug> prabu: no antivirus needed
[20:29] <j800r> prabu,  i wouldn't say it NEEDS antivirus
[20:29] <prabu> i hav firebox . but its not workin gud . i dont know y
[20:29] <j800r> i've never used antivirus and i've been perfectly safe on here
[20:29] <hwilde> how do I set my ethernet port to 100/full ?
[20:29] <carandraug> !u | prabu
[20:29] <jhattara> prabu, what's the problem with FF ?
[20:29] <linus> the expand option is selected. when i look in system->settings->screen resolution there is two monitors, one named 12" and one named unknown. when i change the resolution of unknown the panels change but not the screen resolution.
[20:29] <hwilde> carandraug, o i c...
[20:30] <baastrup> j800r: can i force mark it as oki?
[20:30] <unop> hwilde, ethtool
[20:30] <carandraug> hwilde: what?
[20:30] <Expl0ited> 'u' is a pronoun to the dutch?
[20:30] <j800r> baastrup,  not to my knowledge :\
[20:30] <hwilde> unop, permanently?
[20:31] <jjlee> prabu: http://xkcd.com/463/
[20:31] <jordan> Hello, i'm trying to re-setup my mySQL server (on 8.04.1) and i'm unable to connect from anything other than localhost.  How can I fix this?
[20:31] <unop> hwilde, errm, well, if your port supports fastethernet and is connected into some medium that supports fastethernet, you shouldn't need to change duplex settings
[20:31] <joaopinto> jordan, that is the default configuration, to be bind to the localhost itnerface
[20:32] <hypoon> hello everyone. I recently updated my computer and now it freezes whenever I try to reboot. It freezes at the very end, just as the loading bar becomes empty. It does not freeze during a normal shut down.
[20:32] <gigabyte> Does SLI work with ubuntu?
[20:32] <Wicky656> unop:  ok that almost works I need to pick up the users path as well
[20:32] <hwilde> unop, thank you.  I acknowledge that I should not need be asking this question.  I am not happy that my server is offline either.  Can you tell me how to set it permanently to 100/full
[20:32] <joaopinto> jordan, check your /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[20:32] <jordan> joaopinto : yeah, I bound it to my local address (eth1 - <IP_ADDRESS>) but that didnt help
[20:33] <unop> hwilde, well, i assume you can use ethtool in an init script -- one that starts really early
[20:33] <joaopinto> jordan, and you also need to set proper access privileges from mysql, grant access from remote hosts
[20:33] <jordan> joaopinto : how do I do that?
[20:33] <unop> hwilde, i believe on of the initscript already sets networking up -- that would be a better candidate
[20:33] <unop> !startup > Wicky656
[20:33] <hwilde> unop, no network/interfaces line to do this?   i'll hack it into rc.local then
[20:33] <joaopinto> jordan, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/privilege-system.html :)
[20:34] <jhattara> which of the kernel upgrade packages should i install? i have one external driver module in my current kernel
[20:34] <hypoon> does anyone know of anything that could cause ubuntu to freeze just before rebooting?
[20:35] <unop> hwilde, there might be something in the  interface(5) manpage
[20:35] <Wicky656> !boot
[20:36] <jordan> joaopinto : my user is set to all hosts
[20:36] <linus> i cant find a solution to this problem anywhere on the net. it seems the
[20:36] <linus> sorry
[20:36] <Wicky656> unop:  yeah not quite what I am after. I am running glassfish on a serer and I need to set up init scripts to start glassfish up as the glassfish user and also have it pick up the glassfish users path. I.E homedir
[20:37] <jordan> joaopinto : oh hey, it just started working..?
[20:37] <linus> igore that
[20:37] <jjlee> Wicky656: shouldn't that mention System->Administration->Services?  (though I'm not sure whether that's implemented in the same way -- modifying init.d symlinks)
[20:37] <HiPriest> /msg ubottu etiquette
[20:37] <Wicky656> jjlee:  no GUI
[20:37] <unop> Wicky656,  you can use ~name_of_user to get his homedir
[20:38] <unop> Wicky656,   path_of_user=~user;  echo $path_of_user
[20:38] <jjlee> oh, ok
[20:38] <joaopinto> jordan, it you have all hosts granted, and you are bind to the proper ip, it is expected to work ;)
[20:38] <Wicky656> unop:  comamnd i tired is sudo - u glasshfish <glasshfish commands> --agentdir ~/glassfishv2/agent
[20:39] <Wicky656> unop:  I get bc can't find agent dir in /root/glassfish/agent
[20:39] <Wicky656> unop:  add a v2 inthe error
[20:39] <jordan> joaopinto : thank you for your assistance :)
[20:40] <joaopinto> yw :)
[20:40] <chubs> hypoon: it might help you to state your problem
[20:40] <chubs> hypoon: !anyone

[20:40] <AzizLight> how can I make the CapsLock key an additional Ctrl key please?
[20:40] <herrmess> If my fs is ext3 which is supposed to be journaling, how come I get a 5-min foreground fsck after power out?
[20:40] <linus> it seems gnome panel and loginscreen is configured aftar the "unknown" screen resolution when it should use the 12" setting foundin system->settings->screen resolution. anyone have an idea how to make gnome use another screen resolution?
[20:40] <gigabyte> what is the Command Line for ubuntu?
[20:40] <jrib> AzizLight: use xmodmap.  You'll have to google a bit for the exact command, as I don't know it offhand
[20:40] <jrib> !terminal | gigabyte
[20:40] <hwilde> how do I permanently set my ethernet port to 100/full without hacking a startup script?
[20:41] <herrmess> !journaling
[20:41] <frosty> what is the head of a .php document?
[20:41] <herrmess> !ext3
[20:41] <Ximal> !girls
[20:42] <michael-r> AzizLight: if you are using gnome you can change that in the keyboard-properties
[20:42] <AzizLight> michael-r: I'm using gnome with fluxbox so I cant really do that
[20:42] <hypoon> chubs: my problem is that it freezes just before rebooting, when the loading bar empties.
[20:43] <AzizLight> jrib: thanks, that's the exact command. But does it work properly? isnt it better to change some file in X manually instead? :S
[20:43] <hypoon> chubs: I apologize for the delay, I was reading a thread that I thought might be of help, but isn't.
[20:44] <P_Kable> hello
[20:44] <jrib> AzizLight: meh, I don't see why
[20:44] <jjlee> hwilde: Preferences->Keyboard, Layouts tab
[20:44] <P_Kable> does dd if=... command copy all the sectors of a disk or only the data on the disk ?
[20:44] <jjlee> hwilde: "Layout Options..."
[20:45] <chubs> chubs: no worries, but I'm afraid i don't have any idea, perhaps someone else will
[20:45] <jrib> AzizLight: I switch my caps lock and escape like that, works fine.  I have the command in ~/.xmodmaprc and have my ~/.xprofile run it through xmodmap
[20:45] <jjlee> hwilde: "Ctrl key position"
[20:45] <chubs> hypoon: er, read what i said last
[20:45] <P_Kable> anybody ?
[20:45] <hwilde> jjlee, why are you talking to me I want ethernet nic settings not keyboard
[20:45] <linxeh> P_Kable: dd knows nothing about disks
[20:45] <jjlee> oops, hwilde, that should have been directed to AzizLight
[20:46] <hypoon> chubs: I figured that was directed towards me, I've done the same thing many times
[20:46] <jjlee> AzizLight: see my messages directed as hwilde
[20:46] <linxeh> P_Kable: it simply reads blocks of data from one file to another
[20:46] <P_Kable> linxeh=> :D ok so only data, thanks
[20:46] <chubs> hypoon: it may be helpful to reboot from the command line, to see what it's hanging on. if you don't know how to do that ctrl+alt+f3. then login and sudo reboot
[20:46] <AzizLight> jrib: ?? what do you mean? :S
[20:46] <linxeh> P_Kable: well, it is kind of "block" aware, and can iirc cope with short blocks in a number of ways
[20:47] <linxeh> P_Kable: probably best to check the manpage
[20:47] <linxeh> P_Kable: sector layout is pretty much fixed on disks anyway ?
[20:47] <jrib> AzizLight: just that once you have the xmodmap command you want, you need to tell your computer to run it every time you login
[20:47] <mad_max02> What would be the easiest way to install new kernel on my 64bit hardy ???
[20:47] <hypoon> chubs: ok
[20:47] <jrib> mad_max02: update-manager of course
[20:47] <P_Kable> because I have 1T disk with 693G of data, I need to backup this on a 750G disk linxeh
[20:48] <mad_max02> jrib, there is no new kernel available in the package manager
[20:48] <mad_max02> *update manager
[20:48] <chubs> hypoon: so do that and pay attention to the output, it seems as if it's hanging on something, then report back here if you can't figure it out from there
[20:48] <AzizLight> jrib: I can't do this because I use fluxbox
[20:48] <jrib> mad_max02: have you enabled the -security and -updates repositories?
[20:49] <jrib> AzizLight: why can't you do it?  There are ways to make programs run when you start fluxbox
[20:49] <chronic1> where is the .asoundrc located?  someone told me that I have to make sure that all my sound is passed via the spdif...just a bit lost
[20:49] <hypoon> chubs: I just booted without the "splash" and "quiet" parameters. At the login screen, I rebooted, and it didn't freeze.
[20:49] <hypoon> chubs: I think it might have something to do with me logging in then.
[20:49] <mad_max02> jrib, yes I did
[20:49] <jockl> hi! how can i create a user who doesn't need a password to login?
[20:49] <gigabyte> Is their a start up?
[20:49]  * amal029 thinks running Linuses git repo is the best way to keep uptodate with the kernel
[20:49] <jjlee> jrib: perhaps AzizLight made the same mistake as me, and meant to direct that message to me
[20:49] <jrib> mad_max02: then you have the newest kernel in the repositories
[20:50] <hypoon> chubs: I'm trying it WITH "quiet" and "splash" but WITHOUT logging in now
[20:50] <linxeh> P_Kable: you should copy the partition over block for block, then resize the partition to expand it to the new disk size
[20:50] <AzizLight> jrib: I already change the capslok key before I used fluxbox, now it's back to normal. I want this to become permanent
[20:50] <mad_max02> jrib, yes I have the "newest kernel in the repositories" but I want to install newest kernel available
[20:50] <linxeh> P_Kable: create a new partition the same number of blocks as the old one on the new drive, and start the dd copying
[20:50] <chubs> hypoon: alright, so it would seem that something that loads upon login is not unloading upon reboot
[20:50] <jrib> AzizLight: make the command run everytime you log into fluxbox
[20:51] <jrib> mad_max02: why?  You would need to compile that...
[20:51] <AzizLight> jrib: you mean the xmodmap command?
[20:51] <jrib> AzizLight: yes
[20:51] <stabbim> somehow, after attempting (unsuccessfully) to set up a Sprint mobile broadband modem through GNOME network manager, my wifi card refuses to try to associate to any wifi routers/APs
[20:51] <hypoon> chubs: my thoughts exactly, brb
[20:51] <AzizLight> jrib: yeah that's what I'm gonna do
[20:51] <mad_max02> jrib, if there is no easy way yes I will need to compile.
[20:51] <jrib> AzizLight: here: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_edit_the_startup_file
[20:51] <mad_max02> jrib, so i'm asking is there another way
[20:51] <AzizLight> jrib: thanks
[20:52] <stabbim> i'm not sure how messing with a PPP connection affected wifi, but it appears to have caused a problem somehow
[20:52] <jrib> mad_max02: no.  But you never answered "why?"
[20:52] <P_Kable> thanks a lot linxeh
[20:52] <P_Kable> I'll try
[20:52] <gaintsura> anyone know how to change antialias on full screen video settings without the catalyst control center?
[20:53] <chubs> madmax02: you'll have to compile, but if you're adverse to the idea of compiling your own kernel it's strange that you'd need it. so i'll echo jrib and ask why?
[20:53] <fde> gaintsura: you don't... right click desktop > change desktop background > fonts tab
[20:53] <gaintsura> fde...
[20:53] <SilverStreak> Hey guys, for some reason "sudo lsusb -v >> output.txt" is not creating an output file named "output.txt," am I doing something wrong?
[20:54] <gaintsura> ANTIALIAS in video, not desktop
[20:54] <jockl> i use gnome. can i create a user who doesn't require a password to login?
[20:54] <prabu> hello
[20:54] <linus> does anyone know what to do when the gnome panels  and loginscreenseens to be set to the wrong resolution?
[20:54] <mad_max02> jrib, because I have a lot of new hardware and I have some problems with it. I've read that new kernel sorts it out
[20:54] <fde> gaintsura: never heard of that...
[20:54] <gaintsura> fde: desktop looks fine, full screen video is really pixelated
[20:54] <prabu> how to use kiba dock ?
[20:54] <trojatra> Is it possible to run World of Warcraft (or I guess any full screen Wine game) with Compiz up and not get the flicker?
[20:54] <fde> gaintsura: for dvd's and stuff?
[20:54] <jrib> !kernel > mad_max02
[20:55] <gaintsura> fde: yes, along with streaming video
[20:55] <gaintsura> looks good until I full screen it
[20:55] <SilverStreak> !kernel > SilverStreak
[20:55] <prabu> ubottu : i got opera browser . nice
[20:55] <jrib> mad_max02: I'd try an intrepid like cd and work closely with bugs.ubuntu.com to make sure you get proper support in october
[20:55] <jrib> mad_max02: s/like/live
[20:55] <fde> gaintsura: might try xine backend for totem, with libdvdcss2 from medibuntu ... streaming video, what do you expect?
[20:55] <SamhainXIII> Hello.
[20:56] <mad_max02> jrib, thanks. hope this mobo works nice after that
[20:56] <gaintsura> fde: its high quality streaming video, in windows its not pixelated, I know it has to do with antialias settings, but I cant get into the catalyst control center (says driver is not configured properly, when I know it is)
[20:57] <pim_> Can I make ubuntu show what it's doing at bootstrapping rather than showing me a moving bar?
[20:58] <kat> has anyone here installed the driver for Ralink RT2860 without any problems?
[20:58] <TiredWolf> pim_: yes, put "nosplash" in the kernel command line and also... uh, i don't remember the command to make it verbose. possibly "verbose".
[20:58] <jrib> pim_: get rid of quiet and splash in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:58] <kat> and gotten it to work! haha
[20:58] <pim_> jrib I'll try that, now
[20:58] <linus> what i need to know is if there is some file or variable  i can edit to change which one of the two screen resolutions in system->settings->resolution the gnome panels and the logins screens size is configured after.
[20:58] <TiredWolf> pim_: right, you need just get rid of quiet to make it verbose.
[20:59] <prabu> how to use kiba dock ?
[20:59] <kat> Anyone who could help me with the installation and possibly configuration of the driver for my network card?
[20:59] <gigabyte> How do i force close a app
[21:00] <pim_> thanks guys I commented out quiet and splash
[21:00] <pim_> I'll try it
[21:00] <hypoon> chubs: ok, so I rebooted the second time. There was no splash screen this time either, even though I didn't remove "quiet" and "splash" from the grub command line this time (in other distrobutions, the removals were only temporary, is that not true for ubuntu?) However, it froze just before the actual reboot again.
[21:00] <frosty> anyone know anything in here about php?
[21:00] <jrib> frosty: installing or writing?
[21:01] <chubs> hypoon: so what did it hang on? did you read the message?
[21:01] <jrib> gigabyte: run 'xkill' and then click on the offending app
[21:01] <chubs> hypoon: if you reboot from the command line there shouldn't be a splash screen
[21:01] <frosty> jrib, i just have to modify it a little......
[21:01] <frosty> jrib, following a wordpress tutorial
[21:01] <Tsakos> hey guys :)
[21:01] <gigabyte> thanks
[21:02] <jrib> frosty: ##php for programming in php support
[21:02] <hypoon> chubs: so basically, this is what happened: I removed splash and quiet from the boot line, then continued booting. At the login screen, I rebooted. It successfully rebooted, and I let it boot back up without my interference. At the login screen, I rebooted again, and it hung
[21:02] <necocool> ajuda?
[21:03] <Tsakos> im new to ubuntu, does anyone know of a good binary/octal/decimal/hexadecimal to text converter?
[21:03] <chubs> hypoon: at the login screen switch to a text console and reboot from there, then see if it hangs
[21:03] <chubs> and try it till it hangs i guess
[21:03] <hypoon> chubs: * running local boot script (/etc/rc.local)          [OK]
[21:03] <hypoon> chubs: that was the last message
[21:03] <hypoon> chubs: then I got a blinking cursur
[21:03] <gigabyte> !wine
[21:04] <chubs> hypoon: and you've let it sit for a few minutes to verify that it isn't just booting slowly?
[21:04] <hypoon> chubs: Yes, it
[21:04] <hypoon> chubs: *it's definitely not just going slowly
[21:05] <shey> Simple question I hope. I attempted to install gDevilspie and it failed, now its got unmet dependancies, and it broke my synaptics PM somehow. How do I get it to force remove?
[21:05] <chubs> hypoon: hm, so maybe it's a gnome problem
[21:05] <hypoon> chubs: actually, when I pressed the power button, it moved on past that message, and just shut down.
[21:05] <devnull> hello
[21:05] <will02> is there a particular reason that my optical drives have suddenly stopped working?
[21:06] <chubs> will02: they broke
[21:06] <devnull> thanks for the advice on the local bug ... now i am just having an issue with my 3d desktop that everything is starting invisible and ever effect is aswell
[21:06] <shey> ^5 chubs
[21:06] <will02> chubs: both of them, yet, the trays still manage to work properly
[21:06] <SherlawkDragon> ok, I've got a really bad bug here...
[21:06] <omnivor> DCC SEND<PHONE_NUMBER>8888888
[21:06] <shey> will02: do they mount when you logout/back in? I had the same problem sometime ago.
[21:07] <will02> shey, no they dont appear, but the bios recognizes them
[21:07] <chubs> hypoon: so it's not really hanging then, but x isn't starting?
[21:07] <rwaite> hi all. just installed ubuntu. i love how it works with my wireless, but i cannot make sense of 'how' it works. i believe network manager is doing all the heavy lifting, but it still seems murky
[21:07] <pim> commenting out the defoptions did not help to prevent it showing me the bar instead of the bootprocess, should I completely remove the line?
[21:07] <hypoon> chubs: it's not on the way up, it's on the way down that it's hanging
[21:07] <shey> will02: try to see if you can mount them manually thru the command line.
[21:07] <chubs> will02: do they show up in ubuntu? what do you mean by not working?
[21:08] <will02> chubs, when i put in a disk, they do not recognize the disk and the disk burner will not see them either, i only have the option of burning a disk image
[21:08] <deserteagle> anyone know why my cairo-dock has a big ugly black box underneath it?
[21:09] <chubs> hypoon: oh right right, so maybe it's an acpi issue and it's not properly shutting off the hardware is all
[21:09] <SherlawkDragon> whenever my computer goes into the screen saver (I think, it seems to just be periods of inactivity), the whole computer stops and all I can get is a black screen, and I end up having to unplug it
[21:09] <hypoon> chubs: sounds possible
[21:09] <chubs> hypoon: now how to fix that i've no idea, but i guess it's something to go on
[21:09] <hypoon> chubs: alright. I've actually been an interface to another person all this time, and right now I need to go, so I'm trying to get him in this channel
[21:09] <chubs> will02: but they've worked previously?
[21:10] <shey> SherlawkDragon: that as well can be an ACPI issue.
[21:10] <hypoon> chubs: he should be in any second
[21:10] <will02> chubs. yes they have
[21:10] <SherlawkDragon> shey> a what?
[21:10] <chubs> hypoon: alright
[21:10] <shey> SherlawkDragon: google ACPI
[21:10] <chubs> will02: so just today they no longer work? and you changed nothing recently?
[21:10] <shey> SherlawkDragon: google ACPI ubuntu {rather}
[21:11] <will02> chubs, the only thing iv done is replaced the mobo and they worked after that, and then i moved the case
[21:11] <Japs3> dansih irc channel for ubuntu somehing like #ubuntu-dk ?
[21:11] <ScheissDrogen> !dk
[21:11] <chubs> will02: did you check to make sure the drive cables didn't come unplugged? I know it sounds silly but the trays would still work and appear to be working if they were powered
[21:11] <chubs> check the ide cables
[21:12] <will02> chubs, no i didnt but i can do that really quick
[21:12] <chubs> or sata i guess if you're new fangled
[21:12] <chubs> alright
[21:12] <shey> will02: what chubs said. damn I had to erase all that too.
[21:12] <will02> well, one is sata, the other ide, but they wouldnt have shown up in the bios then
[21:12] <SherlawkDragon> shey> how would that be the problem?
[21:12] <deserteagle> why won't my Logitech MX 1000 report anything when i press the middle thumb button on xev?
[21:12] <chubs> shey: heh, sorry.
[21:13] <shey> SherlawkDragon: for some reason I had many issues with the computer going to sleep, or hybernate during the Gnome Screensaver, I got fed up trying to fix it, so I just disabled it.
[21:14] <SherlawkDragon> shey> it hibernates fine though...
[21:14] <will02> shey, chubbs, if they were unplugged then they wouldnt have shown up in the bios
[21:14] <SherlawkDragon> maybe it is the sleep though, 'cause that didn't work in Vista...
[21:14] <shey> SherlawkDragon: yeah, sleeps well, doesnt wake up, sounds like my ex-wife.
[21:14] <herrmess> !firewall > herrmess
[21:14] <shey> will02: Cables can do funny things..
[21:15] <will02> shey, but iv never heard of cables doing that
[21:15] <shey> will02: are you using the oldish style IDE ribbons for the other drive?
[21:15] <SherlawkDragon> Shey> I mean Hibernate works, but not sleep.  though I just checked it, and sleep is set to Never
[21:15] <will02> shey, yes and its also connected to a hard drive that works perfectly
[21:15] <shey> SherlawkDragon: hrmmm
[21:16] <SherlawkDragon> the thing that was on was put display to sleep...
[21:16] <SherlawkDragon> would that be it?
[21:16] <shey> will02: check the jumpers (ie: slave, cs, ds)
[21:16] <shey> SherlawkDragon: could be
[21:16] <will02> shey, iv done that, did that when i jsut checked the connections
[21:16] <shey> will02: you using Cable Select?
[21:17] <will02> shey, no, never had any luck with that
[21:17] <shey> will02: ok you passed that test...
[21:17] <shey> will02: hrmm, does it detect blank DVDs/CDs ?
[21:17] <Arnos> Hi, is there a tool to make Ubuntu shutdown when all task are done? ie. When the processor has been at 0 usage for a while?
[21:17] <SherlawkDragon> well, I've been having another unrelated problem
[21:17] <will02> hmmm lemme check
[21:18] <SherlawkDragon> I'll be doing stuff, and the keyboard will suddenly stop working.
[21:18] <SherlawkDragon> and the GUI
[21:18] <SherlawkDragon> the keyboard and the GUI will stop.
[21:18] <shey> Arnos: why shut ubuntu down????? This is Linux, not Windows.
[21:18] <knu_> can somebody tell me which program to use when i ewant to create an image from a cd?
[21:18] <shey> SherlawkDragon: sounds strange.
[21:18] <will02> shey, no they dont
[21:18] <elwaywitvac> I'm having trouble with a usb joypad,  jscalibrator loads/configures everything fine but no other app can see it
[21:18] <Arnos> shey: To save power?
[21:18] <knu_> imk on ubuntu 8.04
[21:18] <SherlawkDragon> the mouse will still work, and I can click buttons, but there are no drop down menus and such
[21:19] <Arnos> shey: To make your box quiet
[21:19] <SherlawkDragon> so I'll also, once again, end up having to force a shutdown with the button.
[21:19] <elwaywitvac> same problem an two systems, anyone know if saitek p2600 work?
[21:19] <meetho> Arnos: your box always does something
[21:19] <shey> SherlawkDragon: which distro you using?
[21:20] <meetho> are there specific things you want monitored?
[21:20] <Arnos> meetho: Even when I havn't told it to do anything?  Whats it doing then?
[21:20] <shey> Arnos: they make these cool fans, some of them light up (cool when you are stoned) and they are... yes.. QUIET!
[21:20] <hypoon> chubs: it turns out that you can't use mibbit anymore, so he just installed xchat
[21:20] <SherlawkDragon> shey> I don't know, I just grabbed the one on the site, I was in a hurry to get my computer doind something after Windows self-corrupted
[21:20] <meetho> Arnos: maintenance, cron jobs, daemons you've got running ...
[21:20] <chubs> hypoon: alright, never even heard of mibbit
[21:20] <SherlawkDragon> what was the OS version command?
[21:21] <Arnos> shey: Thats a hardware solution, and my comp is still using electricity then
[21:21] <Tsakos> does anyone know a converter for binary, decimal, hexadecimal ?
[21:21] <chubs> Arnos: is there a specific task you want to run regularly? you can write a script that'll accomplish that
[21:21] <SherlawkDragon> Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron
[21:21] <hypoon> snip3r: hey, chubs is the one that's helping us.
[21:21] <SherlawkDragon> according to what the about thing says
[21:22] <rwaite> what's the best way to strip down my ubuntu install? right now i'm seeing like 1100 packages installed and that is insane
[21:22] <hypoon> chubs: snip3r is the guy I was helping over the phone
[21:22] <snip3r> chubs: I'm the one with the restart problem can u help me out?
[21:22] <chubs> snip3r: yep
[21:23] <will02> chubs, and shey, do you have any ideas as to whats causing this issue?
[21:23] <SherlawkDragon> rwaite> I don't think there is.
[21:23] <snip3r> chubs: thanks any ideas?
[21:23] <rwaite> right now i'm just going through synaptic and marking things for removal if they have no major deps
[21:23] <shey> SherlawkDragon: have you tried an upgrade yet?
[21:23] <SherlawkDragon> shey> is there one?
[21:24] <hypoon> chubs: I have to go now, so I'll leave you two to your troubleshooting(s)
[21:24] <chubs> snip3r: well as I told your friend I think it's probably an ACPI issue at this point, and you may have to do some configuring to see if things change
[21:24] <shey> SherlawkDragon: sudo apt-get upgrade && apt-get upgrade
[21:24] <shey> whoops
[21:24] <shey> SherlawkDragon: sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[21:24] <datacrusher> hi people! iv installed hardy, and tryied to use the nvidia driver as it suggested, but it says my monitor its out of range, just after i put the login
[21:25] <linnuxxy> will future releases include OpenJDK, Tomcat, Eclipse out-of-the-box?
[21:25] <shey> SherlawkDragon: you can also "try" to disable the ACPI settings in the BIOS.
[21:25] <snip3r> chubs: will the configuration  be over my head?
[21:25] <hypoon> chubs: thanks a lot for all your help, hope things end up working without too much more trouble. See you all later
[21:25] <datacrusher> iv changed the xorg.conf many times, with my H and V sync, used gksudo nvidia-settings, but no luck
[21:25] <chubs> snip3r: you may have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add acpi=force to the end of a line
[21:25] <snip3r> hypoon: c ya
[21:25] <chubs> hypoon: see you later
[21:25] <shey> crap! I fergot I came here with a purpose. My apt broke. I need to force remove a package that failed to install.
[21:25] <SherlawkDragon> shey> I know the BIOS almost by heart: there is no optiont to do so.
[21:25] <datacrusher> the nvidia console creates another xorg.conf that seems fine, gets my monitor and vcard, but always after i log in gets my monitor out of range
[21:25] <hypoon> snip3r & chubs: byes
[21:26] <hardy> linnuxxy: yes
[21:26] <SherlawkDragon> but I'm not sure that is the problem
[21:26] <snip3r> chubs: and by adding that line what will i be doin?
[21:26] <SherlawkDragon> oh, and it says it can't find any updates
[21:26] <chubs> snip3r: forcing ubuntu on bootup to load up the acpi modules in the kernel, which interface with power management etc.
[21:26] <SherlawkDragon> actually... I just installed an update...
[21:26] <SherlawkDragon> for the kernel...
[21:27] <uffo> where i can get wifi driver for esprimo v5535
[21:27] <SherlawkDragon> chubs> what you talking about?
[21:27] <SherlawkDragon> what line to add where to do that?
[21:27] <shey> SherlawkDragon: Can you tell me the entire issue again, and be specific.
[21:27] <chubs> snip3r: add it at the end of the "kernel" line on your default option
[21:27] <SherlawkDragon> with the ACPI options?
[21:27] <SherlawkDragon> actually...
[21:27] <chubs> SherlawkDragon: see my above post
[21:27] <Raspe> hello all.  I'm trying to get my laptops speakers to cooperate with me here with no luck.  When I plug my headphones into my headphone jack in the front of my laptop, my music/videos can still be heard through the regular speakers in my laptop case.  I've tried to play around with the sound setting in the mixer but nothing seems to work.  Any suggestions?
[21:27] <snip3r> chubs: how do i get to my default option?
[21:27] <SherlawkDragon> HEY, that's what was corrupted in Vista
[21:28] <SherlawkDragon> acpi
[21:28] <SherlawkDragon> .ini
[21:28] <chubs> snip3r: it should be the first one listed, are you not familiar with menu.lst?
[21:28] <shey> Raspe: you sure you are plugged in the correct jack? Headphone/Speaker switching is hardware, not Ubuntu related.
[21:29] <Raspe> shey:  i'm positive it's in the right jack
[21:29] <snip3r> chubs: sorry im not
[21:29] <shey> Raspe: like I said, its something with the hardware then.
[21:29] <uffo> why wifi do not work, it shows restricted driver working
[21:29] <pouipoui-portabl> argh
[21:29] <Raspe> hrm.  ok thanks shey
[21:29] <chubs> actually i'll make things a bit easier snip3r, do you see the line in there that looks like this:
[21:29] <shey> uffo: restricted drivers dont always "work:
[21:29] <chubs>
[21:29] <chubs> 10533
[21:30] <SherlawkDragon> shey> Sometimes while I'm doing things, the keyboard and GUI will suddenly stop working.  I can't get anything to do anything, so I end up having to manually turn off the power.  and that seems to be slowly corrupting this OS as well...
[21:30] <chubs> snip3r: # defoptions=quiet vga=791
[21:30] <shey> SherlawkDragon: PC Specs?
[21:30] <chubs> add acpi=force to the end of it
[21:30] <jagggy> k, since my install of ubuntu 8.04 my sound isn't clear anymore, it's like transformed or something :(... any idea's why?
[21:30] <snip3r> chubs: wait let me get my laptop because im at my desktop right now
[21:30] <chubs> snip3r: k

[21:31] <matrix> hi guys when i open firefox it just shows half a screen how can i make so it shows full screen
[21:32] <shey> Matrix: press the little box in the upper right hand corner.
[21:32] <SherlawkDragon> shey> oh, they're some fun specs: It's an HP/Compaq.  AMD Turion 64 Processor (though, according to HP support, it is NOT BUILT for 64 bit stuff) 2GB of RAM, came with Vista, but that corrupted itself with SP2
[21:32] <SherlawkDragon> *SP1
[21:32] <chubs> snip3r: don't bother with that, it's a bit annoying. but if you want to hit e to edit the default one then add it to the kernel line to see if it'll work
[21:32] <shey> SherlawkDragon: are you using the 64bit Ubuntu?
[21:32] <OmiKrOn> hi
[21:32] <matrix> shey which little box
[21:32] <OmiKrOn> how do I fix this?
[21:32] <SherlawkDragon> I don't know.  I may be, I may not be.
[21:32] <matrix> i dont see that option
[21:32] <OmiKrOn> dpkg: error processing interchange-cat-standard (--install):

[21:33] <chubs> matrix: the square
[21:33] <OmiKrOn> i mean.. how do I debug it?
[21:33] <shey> matrix: its not an option, its a button, try double clicking the titlebar.
[21:33] <uffo> i have atheros chip, where i can get atheros drivers for linux
[21:34] <snip3r> chubs: which kernel like 19-generic, 19-(recovery mode) or 16-generic, 16-(revovery mode)
[21:34] <chubs> 19-generic snip3r

[21:34] <shey> matrix: which Firefox? 2 or 3?
[21:35] <matrix> i dunno which firefox i have
[21:35] <jagggy> k, since my install of ubuntu 8.04 my sound isn't clear anymore, it's like transformed or something :(... any idea's why????????
[21:35] <matrix> how can i see that

[21:35] <vadim> hi everyone. Have a little trouble with vlc player - when i quit it the sound continues playing and does so until i kill vlc process. How can i fix it?
[21:35] <SherlawkDragon> shey> it's probably 3.0. that's what came standard here...
[21:35] <chubs> snip3r: did it bring you to something you could edit?
[21:35] <matrix> firefox -v
[21:35] <matrix> Mozilla Firefox 3.0.1, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2008 mozilla.org
[21:35] <SherlawkDragon> see?
[21:35] <SherlawkDragon> heh
[21:36] <jagggy> SherlawkDragon, standard doesn't matter, you can always compile olders
[21:36] <Sinnerman> in hardy, when i use the gksu nautilus extension, and open a folder as root, the root nautilus window has the same theme as my other nautilus windows, and i cannot tell them apart - now this is highly undesirable - how do i change the theme of the root window? running gnome-appearance-properties does not work.
[21:36] <Raspe> does anyone know where I can go to disable my speakers?
[21:36] <matrix> so what to do now guys
[21:36] <chubs> snip3r: it should have. use the arrow keys to navigate to the end of the line starting with kernel. then type acpi=force and hit enter
[21:36] <spideyman> matrix, try right clicking on the title bar
[21:36] <chubs> then b to boot i think
[21:36] <SherlawkDragon> jagggy> I doubt he's the type to compile an older thing.
[21:36] <laeg> !dvdburn
[21:37] <laeg> !dvd

[21:37] <Flinix> Hi there all. I am running Hardy 32 bit.I had the nVidia (latest from site) working up until today when I installed the latest updates and it broke the drivers. If I try to use restricted drivers it fudges my screen so bad I fly blind, same with using Envy. My latest problem with reinstalling the nVidia drivers is that when I stop x it just hangs and I have to cold boot.

[21:38] <rwaite> and docstrings pretty prevalent?
[21:38] <snip3r> chubs: so it should read ro quiet splash acpi=force
[21:38] <chubs> indeed
[21:38] <shey> ughhh, proprietary media players.
[21:38] <SherlawkDragon> jagggy> I'm working on my bachelors in Computer Science, and _I_ don't know how to compile things. XD
[21:38] <shey> MPlayer plays real media stuff
[21:38] <matrix> i dont see that option maximisize can i do that from terminal firefox maximisize
[21:38] <SherlawkDragon> (some things I mean
[21:38] <chubs> SherlawkDragon: tisk tisk
[21:39] <xeon101> MPlayer?
[21:39] <laeg> what's a good program for burning some files onto a dvd?
[21:39] <shey> SherlawkDragon: you may want to learn the console.. its amazing how much you can fix non-GUI
[21:39] <spideyman> matrix, what do you see ?
[21:39] <Finnish> How do I find out what chipset is in my laptop?
[21:39] <SherlawkDragon> chubs> I mean like Quake 2, I can't get it to compile, I don't know what commands to pass.
[21:39] <ScheissDrogen> !burn | laeg
[21:39] <shey> laeg: k3b
[21:39] <laeg> ty ty
[21:39] <matrix> is there any tutorial about this firefox
[21:39] <chubs> xeon101: usually a .part file is left behind by firefox when a download didn't finish
[21:40] <Xetrov`> have any of you gotten any linux distro to play nice with the intel s5000psl hardware raid controller by chance?
[21:40] <laeg> shey: do i need to be on kubuntu for k3b?
[21:40] <SherlawkDragon> shey> I'm trying to learn the console, I'm just used to the one in Windows
[21:40] <chubs> SherlawkDragon: oh alright, i guess i'll excuse it :P
[21:40] <SherlawkDragon> but I can't use windows, it's been downgraded to Vista worldwide
[21:40] <carandraug> matrix: you have Firefox 3 in the bottom panel, right? Right click there and select maximize
[21:40] <shey> laeg: no it should install the kde-libs
[21:40] <laeg> ty ty
[21:40] <snip3r> chubs: once i've edited the line i should exit right?
[21:40] <Flinix> ScheissDrogen: I have tried several of the xorg backups I have to no avail
 better get yourself a manual. Ubuntu Toolbox is useful
[21:41] <SherlawkDragon> chubs> now, the sidescroller I'm working on with SDL, I can compile that from command line and all that, on Any OS
[21:41] <shey> SherlawkDragon: if you search google for "whatever compile from source ubuntu" you should get some pretty good how-to's.
[21:41] <ScheissDrogen> Flinix: at reinstalling, did that ran through ?
[21:41] <matrix> which bottom panel firefox or my desktop
[21:41] <chubs> snip3r: hit enter i think, so yeah exit. then hit b to boot the edited version
[21:41] <SherlawkDragon> I don't want to.  heh, I'm getting sidetracked you bad sidetrackers!
[21:41] <shey> matrix: you a new cherry from windows?
[21:41] <carandraug> matrix: the bottom panel of the desktop. The one that has a button for each window open
[21:42] <SherlawkDragon> so, shey, do you have any idea what my problem might be?
[21:42] <spideyman> pop pop pop lol!
[21:42] <ScheissDrogen> Flinix: also take a look at /var/log/xorg.0.log
[21:42] <Flinix> ScheissDrogen: I can't stop x to try to reinstall the drivers, IT hangs on the black screen and the loging doesn't come up
[21:42] <snip3r> chubs: booting
[21:42] <SherlawkDragon> shey> he doesn't even sound like he's familiar with wondows.
[21:42] <shey> SherlawkDragon: it can be so many things. But I am leaning towards an ACPI issue.
[21:42] <SherlawkDragon> (then again, I have an XP certification... might be me)
[21:43] <chubs> snip3r: cool. let me know when you're in and i'll tell you how to make that permanent
[21:43] <Wicky656> !startup
[21:43] <ScheissDrogen> Flinix: ? you install the driver from within the x and then restart, or does it hang there?
[21:43] <Wicky656> !boot
[21:43] <matrix> carandraug i see that now haha it was so easy, no shey i am not cherry from windows i have been using ubuntu 2 years ago but never had problems with firefox
[21:43] <shey> XP Certifcation: (short description) Reboot King.
[21:43] <chubs> SherlawkDragon: agreed, sounds like someone either totally new to computers or from mac os x (same thing right?)
[21:43] <snip3r> chubs: im at the log prompt log in or restart?
[21:43] <SherlawkDragon> shey> how do I fix it
[21:43] <vadim> well i'm not familiar with wondows. Anybody knows what is it??))
[21:43] <shey> SherlawkDragon: best bet?? Search ubuntu forums.
[21:43] <chubs> snip3r: restart to test if it worked, login if you want to make it pormanent now
[21:44] <SherlawkDragon> chubs> no.  Linux is actually alot more like Mac OS X then Windows.
[21:44] <shey> wondows? no I never heard of it.
[21:44] <ompaul> discussion is offtopic for here
[21:44] <IdleOne> !dvd > Irishmanluke
[21:44] <chubs> SherlawkDragon: the backend yes. the gui tends to be completely different
[21:44] <SherlawkDragon> Mac OS X is basically Linux with a really good and featureful built in WM
[21:44] <Flinix> ScheissDrogen: It tells me to exti X before installing
[21:44] <snip3r> chubs: ill restart then log in
[21:44] <SherlawkDragon> ompaul> oh poo poo
[21:44] <ompaul> !offtopic | SherlawkDragon
[21:44] <chubs> SherlawkDragon: freebsd actually, but yeah similar
[21:44] <carandraug> matrix: that isn't a firefox thing. It's the window manager. The one that you're using just doesn't start firefox maximized. You can do that for all windows. Also, one of the buttons in the top right corner of all window has 3 buttons. The one in the middle is for maximize or unmaximize
[21:45] <SherlawkDragon> so anyway
[21:45] <SherlawkDragon> acpi
[21:45] <chubs> snip3r: hopefully it no longer hangs
[21:45] <Flinix> ScheissDrogen: I have the Xorg sys log up now too
[21:45] <jagggy> k, since my install of ubuntu 8.04 my sound isn't clear anymore, it's like transformed or something :(... any idea's why???????? anyone? PLEASE? :(
[21:45] <ompaul> !sound | jagggy
[21:45] <jagggy> btw SherlawkDragon you got a master in comp sience and you don't know howto compile? that's pretty fuxd up xD
[21:45] <insomnia> anyone got a doc for how to fix networking on Ubuntu 8.04 after installing VMWare Tools?
[21:45] <ScheissDrogen> Flinix: you dld a *.sh file that tells you to shut x ?  |  check for errors in logfile
[21:45] <chubs> SherlawkDragon: try doing what i'm telling snip3r to do if you're having acpi problems, but it's not guaranteed to work for you
[21:46] <snip3r> chubs: doesn't look like it, gotta wait though
 freebsd you say? wanted to try it but unfortunately couldn't make my optical mouse work in it
[21:46] <matrix> carandaaug how can i get those "buttons in the top right corner of all window has 3 buttons. The one in the middle is for maximize or unmaximize" i dont have those options when my firefox starts
[21:46] <OmiKrOn> how do I debug this?
[21:46] <OmiKrOn> subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 10
[21:46] <ompaul> jagggy, conversation is offtopic here too many users please consider #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:46] <shey> jagggy: you cannot smile of others mishaps, Your sound isnt working.. remember?
[21:46] <OmiKrOn> dpkg --debug=40000 -r doesn`t show nothing
[21:46] <chubs> vadim: yeah we were just discussing the base of mac os x. I think it's freebsd at least, i know it's one of them
[21:46] <Flinix> ScheissDrogen: Nope I am using terminal (/etc/init.d/gdm stop) to close X
[21:46] <jagggy> shey, true, but i can always smile, even when my comp is broken :)
[21:46] <carandraug> matrix: are you using gnome?
[21:47] <matrix> yes
[21:47] <ScheissDrogen> Flinix: whats your graphics card ?
[21:47] <IdleOne> jagggy: mis-spelling of curse words is also not tolerated so please watch your language
[21:47] <SherlawkDragon> chubs> what did you tell him to do?
[21:47] <shey> matrix: you said that it still shows your desktop??
[21:47] <chubs> vadim: i've never actually used it though, never really had the desire to. it seems as if slackware serves a similar purpose
[21:47] <kgroves42> yo would anyone know why my shift or caps lock key just stop working/ it works fine in my xp vmware
[21:47] <SherlawkDragon> is there and acpi patch somewhere?
[21:47] <carandraug> matrix: with compiz or metacity?
[21:47] <SherlawkDragon> or something
[21:47] <SherlawkDragon> ?
 yeah i think so, but also heard mac is closer to linux than to freebsd (esp. in kernel)
[21:47] <chubs> SherlawkDragon: no just adding it to the boot parameters for the kernel
[21:47] <matrix> compiz
[21:47] <snip3r> chubs: logged on ready to make it permanent
[21:47] <Flinix> ScheissDrogen:  nVidia 8600 GT. I had it working before the updates.
[21:48] <SherlawkDragon> chubs> and that was what command to what file?
[21:48] <yo> kgroves42: yo right back at you
[21:48] <laeg> shey: when i try to lauch k3b from applications > sound and video - nothing ahppens
 well slackware has pretty similar package management
[21:48] <ScheissDrogen> Flinix: mom, googling
[21:48] <chubs> snip3r: SherlawkDragon: alright. so did it still hang?
[21:48] <spideyman> laeg try starting it from terminal to see debug
[21:48] <chubs> snip3r: SherlawkDragon: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[21:48] <carandraug> matrix: don't your windows have three buttons like this one? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/Ubuntu-desktop-2-804-20080708.png
[21:49] <Flinix> ScheissDrogen: Thanks, I would be able to reinstall them if I could get X to exit o.0
[21:49] <SherlawkDragon> ok
[21:49] <shey> laeg: hrmmm, open console, type "ps aux | grep k3b"
[21:49] <chubs> snip3r: SherlawkDragon: find the line beginning with  # defoptions=quiet vga=791
[21:49] <SherlawkDragon> chubs> you can do that with gedit?
[21:49] <shey> CONSOLE == TERMINAL
[21:49] <laeg> spideyman shey: i tried launching from terminal and it said permission denied and then i sudoed it and it ran
[21:49] <chubs> SherlawkDragon: yeah?
[21:49] <ScheissDrogen> Flinix: 32 or 64 ?
[21:49] <SherlawkDragon> huh...  I prefer nano though..
[21:49] <laeg> shey: i don't want to sudo it everytime though - shey i will try that
[21:49] <Flinix> 32
[21:49] <SherlawkDragon> I didn't know that... I'll remember that..
[21:49] <matrix> no it does not have
[21:49] <shey> laeg: dont run apps as sudo.
[21:50] <spideyman> laeg you have to change the permissions
[21:50] <shey> laeg: try to logout and back in
[21:50] <laeg> shey: kk
[21:50] <laeg> spideyman: the permissions of?
[21:50] <chubs> SherlawkDragon: i mean you could use vim or something if you wanted to, but any text editor should do
[21:50] <laeg> cd drive, directory?
[21:50] <laeg> s/cd/dvd
[21:50] <carandraug> matrix: you probably choose something one day that removed them. That's no easy task. I didn't even know you could do that
[21:50] <chubs> snip3r: you still with me?
[21:50] <shey> laeg: dont mess with permissions, as long as you installed it thru apt-get or synaptics it should be in usr/share or similar
[21:51] <AzizLight> my external HD are not recognized how can I make them appear in the /media/ folder so that I can use them please?
[21:51] <insomnia> VMware Tools install breaks networking in Ubuntu 8.04, anyone got a doc on how to fix?
[21:51] <Sinnerman> in hardy, when i use the gksu nautilus extension, and open a folder as root, the root nautilus window has the same theme as my other nautilus windows, and i cannot tell them apart - now this is highly undesirable - how do i change the theme of the root window? running gnome-appearance-properties does not work.
[21:51] <matrix> well yes maybe i did something crazy when i was drunk so you cant help me ohhh
[21:51] <SherlawkDragon> chubs> I found the line
[21:51] <laeg> shey: i installed through synaptic
[21:51] <SherlawkDragon> what do I add?
[21:51] <ScheissDrogen> Flinix: to reinstall, you move http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/173.14.12/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1.run  to /usr/src and then sh..blabla.run start it, and then tell you to stop x instead of resterting x when done ?
[21:51] <laeg> i will try restarting
[21:51] <laeg> brb
[21:51] <SherlawkDragon> acpi-used?
[21:51] <shey> laeg: ITS LINUX!! NO REBOOT!

[21:52] <thiebaude> haha spideyman
[21:52] <chubs> SherlawkDragon: now add acpi=force to it
[21:52] <xkpe> hello
[21:52] <ah> anyone here know of a good EASY TO USE boot manager?
[21:52] <unop> Sinnerman, if you find yourself using an elevated nautilus very often, you should rethink the permissions of the files you are working with
[21:52] <laeg> shey: kk lol
[21:52] <SherlawkDragon> shey> then why, when I install some updates with the GUI update manager, does it tell me to?
[21:52] <snip3r> SherlawkDragon: i found # defoptions=quiet splash, not quiet vga=791
[21:52] <laeg> just relog brb
[21:52] <ScheissDrogen> !bum | ah
[21:52] <chubs> and sudo update-grub
[21:52] <shey> SherlawkDragon: thats only when there are Kernel updates.
[21:52] <chubs> snip3r: sorry yeah, that's the line

[21:53] <chubs> snip3r: so add acpi=force to it, then save the file. you should just be able to type snip3r
 why do you need 2 plugins?
[21:53] <chubs> you're in gedit right?
[21:53] <shey> matrix: wew. you sure you installed an official ubuntu release?
[21:53] <xkpe> anyone got the same problem?

[21:55] <SherlawkDragon> oh yeah, what was the command to do that?
[21:55] <chubs> SherlawkDragon: run sudo update-grub
[21:55] <xbxb> Hey. quick question: I want to dualboot winxp and ubuntu, but I can't find my winxp CD right now, so I install Ubuntu first. I'm using a 640 GB hdd and want to use the first 50 GB for Win, the rest for XP. I'm currently in the partition manager of Ubuntu and create a new unused partition (size 50 gb) and after that I create the actual linux partition. is it possbile to install Win later on the first 50 GB without harming Ubuntu?
[21:55] <SherlawkDragon> ok.
[21:55] <vkrolow> vadim, I dont need but, I can not unistall the 9
[21:55] <carandraug> matrix: do you remember ever having those three buttons?
[21:55] <chubs> so restart and let me know if it did. but like i said, acpi problems can be really weird, so  it may not have

[21:56] <Flinix> ScheissDrogen: It still tells me to exit X
[21:56] <erUSUL> xbxb: you will have to reinstall grub
[21:56] <thiebaude> xbxb:yup install xp first
[21:56] <erUSUL> !grub > xbxb
[21:56] <ScheissDrogen> Flinix: in the installation process ?
[21:56] <thiebaude> then ubuntu
[21:56] <vkrolow> vadim, How I can do this?
 so uninstall 10
[21:56] <carandraug> xbxb: it's possible but it'll harm the bootloader. You'll have to reinstall it again and you'll have headaches if you don't know it
[21:57] <xbxb> OK, thanks all
[21:57] <xbxb> guess I have to keep searching then :/
[21:57] <Flinix> ScheissDrogen: no, it starts up then says I need to exit X to install
[21:57] <vkrolow> vadim, but the 9 plugin is terrible because this show me a one frame for click before show the flash...
[21:57] <snip3r> chubs: the reboot was successful
[21:57] <laeg> shey | spideyman: no joy, this is the output when i try to run from terminal http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/40757/
[21:57] <ah> i need a boot manager that does not use linux... just bootcd

[21:58] <insomnia> wtf.
[21:58] <snip3r> chubs: thanks appreciate it, u too SherlawkDragon
[21:58] <ScheissDrogen> Flinix: so log off, then start a terminal session, cd to /usr/src ,then sudo sh-run it
[21:58] <thiebaude> xbxb:when you install ubuntu just use the partition editor to set your partion sizes
[21:58] <chubs> snip3r: woo! that took a while but i'm glad to hear it
[21:58] <ScheissDrogen> Flinix: try without sudo, before, sough

[22:03] <laeg> spideyman: :O
[22:04] <WDC> chubs: Well it is maxed and not sounding
[22:04] <spideyman> laeg i might leave well enough alone
[22:04] <Sinnerman> unop: i don't remember my gtkrc file containing the theme information.
[22:04] <shey> laeg: nibble on chubs ear a bit. I have to poop.
[22:04] <shey> ^5
[22:04] <ScheissDrogen>  phoenix_:you started a terminal session and then... ???
[22:04] <laeg> classy!
[22:04] <Slart> AlbinoClock: I think the alternate install cd can install on a 256 MB machine
[22:04] <laeg> spideyman: nps thanks anyway
[22:04] <chubs> laeg: what's the deal?
[22:04] <shey> thats me, Brooklyn, New York, USA Style.
[22:04] <laeg> shey: affirmatron, thanks
[22:04] <AlbinoClock> Ah, neat. Is it somewhere on the ubuntu site or elsewhere?
[22:05] <Slart> !alternate | AlbinoClock
[22:05] <shey> chubs: he install k3b and hes getting permission problems.
[22:05] <laeg> chubs: i searched synaptic for k3b clicked install and opted for the suggested packages to install with it
[22:05] <PriceChild> might think about a ban on TMF???_??
[22:05] <shey> PriceChild: thats all we can do is think.
[22:05] <ompaul> PriceChild, go for it
[22:05] <chubs> WDC: but is the little speaker under it x'ed out? not trying to be condescending, i've done stupid things like that before, you can max it but leave it muted
[22:05] <hakunin> hi guys. I'm trying to launch a desktop environment on Ubuntu 8.04 server without actually having access to video card... The reason is unusual, but I really need it to work. I can't seem to make xterm or anything like that run. Would appreciate help.
[22:05] <WDC> chubs: Lol so have it, but it's not
[22:05] <laeg> chubs: nothing happens when i try launch it from applications and when i terminal it i get the following error message (though it does run from sudo which i shouldn't do) http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/40757/
[22:05] <chubs> laeg: so you can't run it or where's the error?
[22:05] <chubs> uh
[22:06] <chubs> *ah
[22:06] <ScheissDrogen>  phoenix_:a terminal session doesn't run x
[22:06] <phoenix_> ScheissDrogen: I cd's to /usr/src and ran the drivers, they started up and said I appear to be running X and to exit out of it before installing
[22:06] <doggymenz> why does ubuntu use usplash instead of bootsplash?
[22:06] <chubs> laeg: do you have write permissions on all your home folders?
[22:06] <egon__> quit
[22:06] <laeg> chubs: good question br
[22:06] <laeg> b
[22:07] <chubs> k
[22:07] <AlbinoClock> Thanks. And does anybody know about registration problems in photoshop cs2 with WINE?
[22:07] <chubs> WDC: a little more info would help then, is this a laptop or a desktop? sound card or integrated etc.
[22:07] <WDC> chubs: Laptop, integrated sorry
[22:07] <laeg> chubs: when i hit properties on my home folder and then the permissions tab it says i can create and delete files but my group can only read them
[22:07] <phoenix_> ScheissDrogen: Thats what I cannot do, Exiting X to terminal won't work. It hangs. I can only load the terminal within X from the login menu
[22:07] <dottedquad84> how do i mv only files that include the term flora in them?
[22:07] <chubs> WDC: what model?
[22:07] <erpo> How do I petition to get a package removed from Ubuntu? Or at least removed from the default installation?
[22:07] <unop> Sinnerman, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=377397v
[22:07] <hakunin> i have an application that depends on some SCREEN being defined. that application needs to run on server. what's funny is that application works when I ssh -X to my server, run xterm, and from xterm launch that application.  However, it doesn't work autonomously when I just ssh without -X and xterm.
[22:08] <unop> dottedquad84, mv *flora* somewhere/
[22:08] <Slart> dottedquad84: try using find.. I think it has an exec option
[22:08] <chubs> laeg: that's how it should be...give group write permissions to .kde and see if that helps
[22:08] <dottedquad84> unop: Thank You
[22:08] <ScheissDrogen>  phoenix_:I don't really understand that behaviour; /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[22:08] <laeg> chubs: the button "apply permissions to enclosed folders" is calling to me
[22:08] <Sinnerman> unop: thanks, i was having some trouble isolating the actual problem with google. :)
[22:08] <chubs> laeg: heed it's call :)
[22:08] <WDC> chubs: Sony Vaiop VGN-AR
[22:09] <SherlawkDragon> chubs> well it booted, can't say if it worked >..O
[22:09] <tsuna27> how do i change the loading screen when i turn on my comp
[22:09] <unop> hakunin, ssh user@somehost 'xterm -e "appname"'
[22:09] <WDC> What is the default SSH terminal client?
[22:09] <tsuna27> just the bar not the image of the background
[22:09] <unop> hakunin, actually.   ssh -X user@somehost 'xterm -e "appname"'
[22:09] <chubs> SherlawkDragon: worked for snip3r, so perhaps for you too
[22:10] <chubs> WDC: ssh :)
[22:10] <unop> WDC, ssh
[22:10] <phoenix_> ScheissDrogen: /etc/init.d/gdm stop does not work, It hangs on a black screen and where it us supposed to come up with a login it doesn;t, it sits there stuck

[22:10] <vadim> want to make up mi mind whether to change for 8.10 when it's released or stay with 8.04. Can anyone tell me where i can find info on what new features 8.10 will include?
[22:10] <WDC> that worked well. I was looking for a shortcut though. What a noob I am
[22:11] <ScheissDrogen>  phoenix_: hardy 8.04 ? tried another : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt get upgrade                ?
[22:11] <laeg> chubs: lol i popped that sucker but still no dice - this is the error message term just spat out at me
[22:12] <ScheissDrogen>  phoenix_: does the update cmd leave any errors ?
[22:12] <vadim> and another question - where can i find info on what updates are made to 8.04? didn't get any for several days - maybe smth wrong with my configuration?
[22:12] <Slart> vadim: I think there was a kernel update or something yesterday.. made me restart my computer
[22:13] <chubs> WDC: do your speakers work? does the headphone jack work?
[22:13] <WDC> chubs: Speakers work fine, all the sound jacks don't
[22:13] <Slart> vadim: might have been a 64 bit thing too.. don't really know
[22:13] <chubs> WDC:  is this an AR21 by chance? what's the model number?
[22:13] <insomnia> huh.
 well, i didn't get anything. That's strange. And what kernel do you have now? just type uname -r and show me
[22:13] <insomnia> guess its just easier to re-install than to try to fix it.
[22:14] <WDC> chubs: VGN-AR730E
[22:14] <timucin> Hello.  As far as I see, it opened the application with xterm running, then left it open and closed connection. problem is - even though it launched the application, once I ssh regularly and try to do smth - it gives me same problems. Like it needs some graphics to be actually accessible throuhgout its life.
[22:14] <jagggy> AA, so, i've tried everything to fix my sound, won't work, so here's the detailed description: my sound works, but it's not clear at all, only allot of background noise, ay ideas? PLEASE?
[22:14] <Slart> vadim: 2.6.24-19-generic
 well i have the same but it was updated some time ago
[22:15] <Mat1> whats the comand that gets u emerald
[22:15] <hakunin> unop: i need something to simulate display, something similar to vncserver, but vncserver didn't do it : (
[22:15] <histo> Mat1: sudo aptitude install emerald
[22:16] <unop> hakunin, what is this app you are launching in xterm?
[22:16] <hakunin> unop: jaxer
[22:16] <histo> !packages > Mat1
[22:16] <hakunin> unop: it relies on mozilla
[22:16] <rebel_kid> hey just wondering where can i find some info on "extended" partitions, i just realized i been using em for all my linux swaps and i dont even know what they are
[22:16] <Slart> vadim: here's the log from unattended updates.. 2008-08-26 08:19:37,864 INFO Packages that are upgraded: linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic linux-libc-dev linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic linux-headers-2.6.24-19
[22:16] <hakunin> unop: mozilla has dependencies on some display stuff
[22:16] <ScheissDrogen>  phoenix_: ?
 where did you take this log?
[22:16] <hakunin> unop: it's sort of like running mozilla on server
[22:17] <Slart> vadim: /var/log/unattended-upgrades/
[22:17] <mpelcha> Question: on my new box Xchat won't connection to Ubuntu Servers.
 if you want themes for emerald should look for a package for feisty
 thanks
[22:17] <jagggy> AA, so, i've tried everything to fix my sound, won't work, so here's the detailed description: my sound works, but it's not clear at all, only allot of background noise, ay ideas? PLEASE?
[22:17] <unop> hakunin, hmm .. is this a GUI app? or perhaps, does this require a display be set?
 and don't you know is there a list of updates somewhere in ubuntu web?
[22:18] <WDC> chubs: eh
[22:19] <W8TAH> hi guys -- building a new system with hardy desktop -- all is installed and fully updated -- but no sound --  LSPCI yields 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) not sure at all where to go from here
[22:19] <chubs> WDC: googling furiously, sorry for the delay
[22:19] <Slart> vadim: no.. I don't know if there is a list somewhere, sorry
[22:19] <hakunin> unop: it does javascript on server-side.  it does require display to be set, i can see how it can't access it. We're doing some visual stuff on server-side javascript using "canvas".  i could install anything necessary as long as it running. desktop environment. it's just i don't think i have access to video card on VPS.  so need a workaround.
[22:19] <chubs> laeg: did you have another error message or is it the same one?
[22:19] <WDC> chubs: No problem. Thanks for the help!
 well. i can't find anything in my /var/log/unattended updates. What's the matter?
[22:20] <IdleOne> !sound | W8TAH
[22:20] <laeg> chubs: same-o
[22:20] <unop> rebel_kid, when using MS-DOS style disklabels .. you are restricted to 4 primary partition .. so if you want more than 4 partitions, you have to dedicate one of them to be a extended partition in which you can create additional partitions
[22:20] <chubs> hm
[22:20] <Slart> vadim: perhaps you haven't set your computer do install security updates automatically
[22:20] <hakunin> unop: if I can make it work by doing ssh -X and launching xterm, there must be a way to make it work autonomously
 ah yeah, i do it manually
[22:21] <jeremy__> Hi, I have a strange question, I just accidentally deleted my xorg.conf and was wondering if anyone can think of a way to restore it. I haven't restarted x since I did it.
[22:21] <unop> hakunin, ssh -X user@host 'nohup jaxer'  # perhaps
[22:21] <unop> jeremy__, the newer versions of Xorg do not need a xorg.conf file
[22:22] <jeremy__> unop, so if I restart my settings won't change?
[22:22] <laeg> chubs: it didn't make the change to the .kde dir even though i clicked apply to enclosed files
[22:22] <unop> jeremy__, well, without a config file xorg tries to automagically detect and configure various hardware -- so you might experience a few oddities
[22:22] <TSRbuntu> Question, cannot connect to any servers on XChat same internet connection as this PC though. no security is running.
[22:22] <TSRbuntu> possible causes..?
[22:22] <ScheissDrogen>  phoenix_: ?
[22:22] <chubs> laeg: that's odd, you're sure you have write permissions?
[22:23] <laeg> chubs: i don't, not on .kde
[22:23] <laeg> everything else is fine
[22:23] <jagggy> AA, so, i've tried everything to fix my sound, won't work, so here's the detailed description: my sound works, but it's not clear at all, only allot of background noise, ay ideas? PLEASE? and i tried the !sound thing :'(
[22:23] <laeg> chubs: it won't let me change the permissions on that dir from the permissions tab - it says the owner is root
[22:23] <phoenix> ScheissDrogen: Its just not working -.-
[22:23] <jeremy__> unop: ah thanks. too bad though, I just got dual monitors working =/
[22:24] <spideyman> laeg change it from terminal
[22:24] <phoenix> If I cannot exit to X I can't install the driverd as restricted and Envy fail badly
[22:24] <chubs> laeg: ah hah! i was misinformed. open up a terminal and sudo chown laeg /home/laeg/.kde
[22:24] <chubs> actually sudo chown -r
[22:24] <chubs> for recursiveness
[22:24] <unop> chubs, also might want to change group too
[22:24] <hakunin> unop: that does work
[22:24] <cyban> how do I start the desktop?
[22:25] <hakunin> unop: but it makes my laptop continuously maintain connection with the vps
[22:25] <unop> laeg, sudo chown -R $USER.$USER ~/.kde
[22:25] <ScheissDrogen> unop, could you check  phoenix_, who can't stop x after an update and can't fix nvidia driver ?
[22:25] <_tobeh> ubanto
[22:25] <jagggy> comon, anyone? pleaase :(
[22:25] <hakunin> unop: as soon as i ctrl+c out of it  -- and try again, it doesn't work again.
[22:25] <chubs> laeg: yeah, forgot about that, though you should be able to change the group after you're owner if you don't like the command line much
[22:25] <chubs> oh or just follow what unop said up there
[22:25] <laeg> i want to learn the command line
[22:26] <laeg> trying unops command
[22:26] <hakunin> unop: basically it tricks server to think that my laptop is the display. but how could I do that without laptop? maybe I could ssh from server to itself with -X ?
[22:26] <AlbinoClock> Can i do a network install of ubuntu/how?
[22:26] <unop> hakunin, i don't get this .. you want to run jaxer as some kind of service?
[22:27] <laeg> chubs | unop: nice that worked, thanks a lot
[22:27] <djamel> AlbinoClock, what do you mean, network-install or net-install ?
[22:27] <laeg> peace out
[22:27] <chubs> WDC: it appears that drivers for your laptop are currently being developed, 2.6.24 kernel added support for the headphone jack
[22:28] <WDC> Currently, with no Alpha or anything? chubs
[22:28] <cyban> Just installed Ubuntu - how do I start the Desktop manager - KDE or whatever comes with it
[22:28] <chubs> WDC: you may just have to wait at the moment
[22:28] <jrib> chubs: boot your computer
[22:28] <_tobeh> ctrl + q
[22:28] <chubs> WDC: well it's kernel level drivers
[22:28] <chubs> jrib: what?
[22:28] <hakunin> unop: jaxer is apache-based server. it has to run all the time. but it needs some kind of display all the time
[22:28] <jrib> cyban: boot your computer
[22:28] <jrib> chubs: sorry :)
[22:28] <WDC> chubs: Waht does that mean/
[22:28] <cyban> jrib, its started up at a command line
[22:28] <AlbinoClock> I mean can I install ubuntu onto a laptop over my network
[22:29] <jrib> cyban: did you install from the Desktop CD?
[22:29] <TSRbuntu> Question, cannot connect to any servers on XChat same internet connection as this PC though. no security is running. Possible things on Ubuntu that could block..?
[22:29] <AlbinoClock> and would that be any less resource intensive than the live cd?
[22:29] <cyban> jrib, server cd
[22:29] <unop> !info xvfb | hakunin
[22:29] <The_ManU_212> hi
[22:29] <jrib> cyban: then you have a server install.  There is no graphical environment by default.  Is there a reason you didn't install the Desktop version if you wanted a GUI?
[22:29] <unop> hakunin, you could run jaxer in a fake X env with xvfb
[22:30] <hakunin> unop: thanks! i will look into this. this sounds very much like what i need
[22:30] <The_ManU_212> hi, anyone can tell me if my drives are ok? especially ecc and seek-time-performance? http://pastebin.com/m42102a17
[22:30] <linfanuk> in the "taskbar" where the time displays, I also have the temp display but when I reboot the temp display disappears and I have to edit it again to get it back, how do I fix this?
[22:31] <chubs> WDC: it means that you might be able to download patches to patch your current kernel with it, but i'd reccomend waiting
[22:31] <jagggy> so, i've tried everything to fix my sound, won't work, so here's the detailed description: my sound works, but it's not clear at all, only allot of background noise, ay ideas? PLEASE? and i tried the !sound thing :'(
[22:31] <mbrigdan> is it possible to make flash movie/games on ubuntu? Or is it windows only?
[22:31] <AlbinoClock> mbrigdan: You can run Flash  with WINE,
[22:32] <cyban> jrib, Thanks - yes just testing it out on a Virtual Server, ill run a desktop install next - thanks
[22:32] <AlbinoClock> I have Flash 8 running and it works just fine
[22:32] <WDC> chubs: Oh okay. Thanks man
[22:32] <chubs> WDC: the newest kernel update should get your headphone jack working though
[22:33] <WDC> chubs: You got da linkz
[22:33] <martin_> sup g
[22:33] <chubs> WDC: I just got it today. no link needed, just sudo apt-get update
[22:33] <martin_> sup gangster's
[22:33] <mbrigdan> AlbinoClock: I mean create flash stuff...
[22:34] <martin_> like t bagging boy's
[22:34] <WDC> chubs: ah
[22:34] <rebel_kid> im having a problem booting from hdd, i just got a new drive and copied all the data onto it but now my computer wont boot, its not even loading the grub menu
[22:34] <martin_> guttd ur fucked bro
[22:34] <WDC> chubs: Thanks man. Dinner time
[22:34] <Orbixx> rebel_kid: Did you take out the old hard disk?
[22:34] <chubs> WDC: no problem
[22:35] <martin_> later g
[22:35] <shey> o.O
[22:35] <rebel_kid> orbixx: yes
[22:35] <djhash> rebel_kid: how did you copy the data?
[22:35] <Orbixx> rebel_kid: Master boot record is on the old hard disk.
[22:35] <rebel_kid> djhash: gparted
[22:35] <Orbixx> Reinstall grub on new hard disk.
[22:35] <rebel_kid> orbixx: how do i move the boot record?
[22:36] <linfanuk> how do I stop this disappearing after rebooting?
[22:36] <Orbixx> Best thing to do...
[22:36] <marcin> Angielskim miesem rzucaja :P
[22:36] <Orbixx> Is to have both hard disks plugged in.
[22:36] <djhash> rebel_kid: you dont move it.. just install it.. use the liveCD
[22:36] <rebel_kid> djhash: what do u mean i dont want to reinstall ubuntu or erase anythin
[22:36] <marcin> Czyzbym kanaly pomylil??
[22:36] <djhash> rebel_kid: you dont have to..
[22:36] <Orbixx> rebel_kid: Have both hard disks plugged in, boot by CD - have them both dismounted and use "dd" to do a low level disk-to-disk copy.
[22:37] <djhash> !grub | rebel_kid
[22:37] <rebel_kid> orbixx: dd???
[22:37] <Orbixx> rebel_kid: Example...
[22:37] <TSRbuntu> Question, cannot connect to any servers on XChat same internet connection as this PC though. no security is running. Possible things on Ubuntu that could block..?
[22:37] <Orbixx> Disk 1 = /dev/sda Disk 2 = /dev/sdb
[22:38] <Orbixx> Boot by CD, load up terminal with root privs.
[22:38] <uffo> where i can get Sis mirage 3 drivers for ubuntu
[22:38] <Orbixx> dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
[22:38] <jagggy> so, i've tried everything to fix my sound, won't work, so here's the detailed description: my sound works, but it's not clear at all, only allot of background noise, ay ideas? PLEASE? and i tried the !sound thing :'(
[22:38] <Orbixx> sda must be your old hard disk
[22:38] <Orbixx> sdb must be the new hard disk
[22:38] <Orbixx> However.
[22:38] <Orbixx> The actual names may vary.
[22:38] <Orbixx> So identify them carefully.
[22:39] <Orbixx> Best to mount them first, check the contents, then remember their name.
[22:39] <Orbixx> Then dismount and do as I said.
[22:39] <thevor> Hey. I'm trying to get my Broadcom bcm4328 wireless card. to work. I've installed ndiswrapper and downloaded my windows driver from dell support but I can't read them off of the cd that I burned them to in Linux.
[22:39] <rebel_kid> orbixx: does the second drive need to be blank?
[22:39] <Orbixx> rebel_kid: No.
[22:39] <shey> jagggy: did you try the alsaconf?
[22:39] <chubs> heh, dismount
[22:40] <Orbixx> It helps if the disks are the same size.
[22:40] <Orbixx> If they're not the same size.
[22:40] <Orbixx> It might be an idea to erase the second disk.
[22:40] <shey> thevor: all you need is the INF file.
[22:40] <rebel_kid> thanks
[22:40] <Orbixx> I forget the intricate technicalities, so might be best to wipe the second disk anyway.
[22:40] <Orbixx> Just for good measure.
[22:40] <thevor> shey: that will help me read from my dvd drive?
[22:41] <islamway> i neeeeeed help
[22:41] <regeya> !ask
[22:41] <jagggy> shey, yea :(
[22:41] <shey> thevor: you may have to unzip/rar/tar the archive first.
[22:41] <shey> jagggy: which soundcard?
[22:41] <jagggy> how can i see?
[22:41] <islamway> oki

[22:42] <DavidCanarias> Can anyone help me to install Java as I am having problems entering some chat lines on internet
[22:42] <islamway> ?
[22:42] <jagggy> shey: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[22:42] <shey> thevor: search google for the drivers.
[22:42] <jrib> !java > DavidCanarias
[22:42] <GeminiDomino> I just applied the kernel update, and now my system is stuck in "low graphics" mode. (Nvidia 7900 GT/GTO, Dell 19" wide LCD). I've tried resetting it in the restricted drivers manager, regenerating xorg.conf. I'm stumped. Anyone run into this?
[22:42] <shey> jagggy: hrmm, what are you using to play audio?
[22:42] <thevor> shey: I downloaded the drivers and burned them onto a cd, I just can't read from the cd in ubuntu
[22:42] <islamway> can any pm me
[22:42] <chubs> islamway: what is psp2?
[22:43] <DavidCanarias> ubottu - see your private message where????
[22:43] <shey> thevor: does the cd mount at all?
[22:43] <Zamadatix> i jsut installed ndiswrappper and my driver
[22:43] <islamway> play station 2
[22:43] <Zamadatix> am i supposed to disable the old one that didnt work?

[22:58] <Mat1> sudo apt get install emerald
[22:58] <Mat1> use that comand
[22:58]  * rebel_kid prays to the hard drive gods
[22:58] <Mat1> without emerald u cant
[22:58] <Fujoor> are you talking to me? please adress who you are talking to
[22:58] <yert> is there a good IRC channel for bash?
[22:58] <Fujoor> really, i saw somebody do it without emerald, thats why im asking, whats the benefit of emerald over the normal "appearence"
[22:58] <Mat1> Fujoor im talking to u
[22:59] <Mat1> emerald is more custum
[22:59] <marcules> Good Evening ^^
[22:59] <Fujoor> hmm ok, ill try it out, but it handles the same kind of themes that apperaence does, right
[22:59] <Mat1> here i will send u one i made
[23:00] <rw> Hi, my 3d cube is to close to the screen, how can I set it a bit more away from the screen?
[23:00] <Fujoor> rw: in rotate cube you can adjust the zoom
[23:00] <Mat1> /home/champ/Desktop/rEDS.emerald
[23:00] <Mat1> my bad
[23:00] <rw> Fujoor: I'll take a look
[23:01] <Mat1> !paste
[23:01] <rw> Fujoor: Thanks, that did the trick.
[23:02] <Mat1> Fujoor: u can get emerald themes at gnome_look.org
[23:02] <Mat1> i ment gnome-look.org
[23:03] <Mat1> ill put mine on gnome look if i can find out
[23:03] <uffo> Anyone has SIS mirage 3+ driver binary
[23:03] <Fujoor> rw: np
[23:04] <The_ManU_212> anyone can tell me if my drives are ok? especially ecc and seek-time-performance? http://pastebin.com/m42102a17
[23:04] <erisco> I have a ubuntu 8.04 box whose graphics just won't cooperate. the card is a geforce 8500, and the restricted nvidia-glx-new driver is enabled (I have tried different versions as well). It isn't that the card isn't picked up, or that it doesn't mostly work, its that the 3D acceleration doesn't work. Weird errors dealing with opengl occur, and glxinfo comes back with an error. glxgears will not run
[23:04] <erisco> I have tried letting xorg reconfig itself by removing xorg.conf
[23:04] <erisco> this is how I get the typical 2D support, and the desktop runs fine
[23:04] <erisco> but the 3D support doesn't configure itself properly, and things are missing.
[23:05] <erisco> I do not know where to start diagnosing, as hours of googling did not result in anything consistent or useful
[23:05] <AzizLight> I need to mount a drive but it's type/System is EFI GPT, what do I specify for that? I mean when I type mount -t ...
[23:05] <erisco> and I've certainly given many of the suggestions a try anyhow
[23:05] <jockl> hi, how can i join an existing workgroup?
[23:05] <rconan> can anyone recommend a good DC++ hub for ubuntu, preferably available in the repositories?
[23:05] <amal029> cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | less
[23:05] <erisco> so does anyone know how I can get more information about this problem?
[23:05] <Rolaulten> Hello, Im installing hardy on my desktop, however I dont know what file type to set the partition, is it a ext3 for the root directory?
[23:05] <unop> amal029, heh.  less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:06] <amal029> I like the cat way although slow
[23:06] <linxeh> Rolaulten: yes, though there are ways of using other filesystems
[23:06] <Rolaulten> linxeh: ok, but for a new user thats the simplest?
[23:06] <unop> amal029, useless use of cat
[23:06] <rconan> amal029, no doubt you read the article about overusing cat today...
[23:07] <erisco> amal029, I will give that log a read
[23:07] <linxeh> Rolaulten: yes, ext3 is your best option
[23:07] <Rolaulten> linxeh: cool, thanks
[23:07] <Buiss> can i install 2 modems in 7.10?
[23:07] <tazbo1> I connected a different wireless router, and I can connect to it with my ubuntu machine, but I can't get to the internet.. my windows machines get on the internet just fine.. any ideas?
[23:07] <linxeh> rconan: what article on cat ? :)
[23:08] <unop> linxeh, this one perhaps.  http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html#cat
[23:08] <rconan> linxeh, there was an article on some news site or other today about silly things peopledo in bash
[23:08] <sweetman> I've got Ubuntu 64-bit, is it possible to get 32-bit without re-installing?
[23:08] <Buiss> One HDA and a usb..But wvdial takes only HDA modem
[23:09] <www> hey
[23:09] <Buiss> if HDA modem uninstalled then it takes USB one
[23:09] <qr_> sweetman: no
[23:09] <www> want to know how to zoom in and track your cell phone?
[23:09] <sweetman> :\
[23:09] <www> www.phonetrace.org
[23:10] <linxeh> rconan: ah ok
[23:10] <qr_> sweetman: you can run 32 bit programs with 64 bit, but for things like drivers and kernel modules you're stuck with 64 bit unless you reinstall the system.
[23:10] <rconan> linxeh, annoyingly i can't find a link now
[23:10] <nalioth> !danger Do Not Visit phontrace DOT org
[23:10] <LurkerInTheWebs> Question, what is a very lightweight, dark, abstract theme or window manager?
[23:11] <shey> anyone know which codec is needed to stream Sirius Radio? it says "Unknown Plugin (application/x-mplayer2)
[23:11] <u2227> hi, can I ask a question about ubuntu here?
[23:11] <ogre> nalioth,  thats the nsfw "supposed" zoom of yr phone right?
[23:11] <LurkerInTheWebs> I'd like to have a WM that is terminal based, not a lot of graphics, dark, etc.
[23:11] <dennda> u2227: No, this is a cookery channel. :-)
[23:11] <shey> u2227: no you need to ask in the windows channel.
[23:11] <qr_> u2227: this would be the place for it, yes.
[23:11] <dennda> u2227: Of course
[23:11] <nalioth> ogre: it's an exploit site
[23:11] <shey> lmao
[23:11] <ogre> ahh
[23:11] <shey> ^5 Ubuntusers
[23:11] <unop> LurkerInTheWebs, screen
[23:11] <The_ManU_212> anyone can tell me if my drives are ok? especially ecc and seek-time-performance? http://pastebin.com/m42102a17
[23:12] <u2227> oh thanks! one of my apps needs Alt+F1 but gnome eats this shortcut, how can I disable Alt+F1?
[23:12] <LurkerInTheWebs> unop...screen? is that the full name? so just sudo apt-get screen?
[23:12] <shey> LurkerInTheWebs: use no x, and framebuffer
[23:12] <unop> !info screen | LurkerInTheWebs
[23:12] <AzizLight> what type is efi gtp please?
[23:12] <unop> LurkerInTheWebs, yes
[23:12] <qr_> u2227: is your app a terminal app by chance?
[23:12] <shey> anyone know which codec is needed to stream Sirius Radio? it says "Unknown Plugin (application/x-mplayer2)
[23:12] <u2227> qr_: it is a wine app
[23:13] <shey> !info mplayer2
[23:13] <uffo> Anyone has SIS mirage 3+ driver binary
[23:13] <qr_> u2227: ahh, ok.  There should be a keyboard shortcuts entry in one of the menus in the upper left (sorry for being vague, I don't use gnome very often)
[23:13] <dennda> u2227: There is a shortcut dialog under System -> Settings
[23:13] <u2227> is there a special issue with terminal apps and Alt+F1?
[23:13] <u2227> I tried already System-<Settings->Key shortcuts, cleared them all
[23:13] <qr_> u2227: no, but generally you can replace ALT with escape in terminal apps.
[23:14] <unop> LurkerInTheWebs, you should be told that screen does not handle X applications .. it's purely console based
[23:14] <KebabBob> Can someone recommend a good svn gui for linux?
[23:14] <jereme> any simple linux apps out there for recording whatever you do on your desktop as a video?
[23:14] <uffo> RapidSVN
[23:14] <qr_> KebabBob: there are some very nice emacs plugins for svn :)
[23:14] <koshari> jereme recordmydesktop
[23:14] <u2227> is there a GNOME config file for keyboard?
[23:14] <KebabBob> rapidsvn - I'll try that :P
[23:14] <rebel_kid> how long should it take for dd to copy an 80 gig disk with about 30-40 gig used?
[23:15] <koshari> !recordmydesktop
[23:15] <georgy_28> jereme : xvidcap
[23:15] <jereme> koshari, it's app titles like that that make me feel dumb for asking :)
[23:15] <KebabBob> There's so many svn tools in the package manager, I couldn't pick :)
[23:15] <KebabBob> rebel_kid: Depends on the hd
[23:15] <linxeh> rebel_kid: a long time, depending on the blocksizes used, and the way the drives are configured
[23:15] <qr_> rebel_kid: if you're copying the whole device (ie /dev/something) how much space is used doesn't matter.  And it will take a fair amount of time.
[23:15] <ogre> anybody know if i can use my bluetooth headset as a sip phone for ekiga?
[23:15] <jereme> koshari, georgy_28: I'll try both. Thanks!
[23:15] <KebabBob> Probably an old hd (given the size) so i'd say 1-2 hours max
[23:15] <isleshocky771> Anyone have any experience on getting a 64bit guess ubuntu installed on a 64bit Ubuntu host install using vm ware or virtual box?
[23:15] <uffo> Anyone has SIS mirage 3+ driver binary link?
[23:16] <linxeh> KebabBob: mmmm I just bought 100 servers with 80 gig disks, so not sure you can tell much about age from that :o
[23:16] <unop> !info build-common
[23:16] <erisco> okay, I have the output of the xorg log
[23:17] <erisco> nothing looks interesting
[23:17] <LurkerInTheWebs> unop, sudo apt-get install screen got a package, but didn't give me an option to log in with it as a WM...how do I initialize it?
[23:17] <erisco> no errors, nothing particularly unusual
[23:17] <rebel_kid> qr_: and it doesnt say anything just blank line?
[23:17] <erisco> where else could this problem be happening?
[23:17] <KebabBob> linxeh: Well, if you would have said 73gb i'd think differently :)
[23:17] <qr_> rebel_kid: indeed, dd gives no progress updates.  It will give you some statistics when it finishes, but not before.
[23:17] <unop> LurkerInTheWebs, you use it at a terminal/console .. just type screen
[23:17] <KebabBob> err 74gb
[23:17] <linxeh> KebabBob: 80gb, SATA.
[23:18] <u2227> ok I am sorry to ask again, but anyone got an idea if tehre is a GNOME keyboard config file?
[23:18] <rebel_kid> qr_: thanks just making sure its actually working
[23:18] <KebabBob> I didn't know they made 80gb disks anymore - the sas and 10k sata are usually 74gb
[23:18] <gianluca120390> server irc.tin.it
[23:18] <KebabBob> Because of platter size
[23:18] <linxeh> KebabBob: 7200 sata
[23:18] <unop> qr_, you can get dd to give you a status update while it is running
[23:18] <LurkerInTheWebs> unop, then what?
[23:19] <qr_> unop: oh really? I didn't know that.
[23:19] <linxeh> KebabBob: admittedly we gutted the drives and replaced them with 2x 1TB drives, but still :)
[23:19] <KebabBob> ok I stand by my words then, 80gb 7200rpm disks are usually "old" revisions
[23:19] <koshari> KebabBob when they begin reporting disk sizes as ACTUAL i will take note
[23:19] <unop> qr_, kill -USR1 $pid_of_dd
[23:19] <linxeh> KebabBob: sure, but they are brand new drives, which is what was implied by the age, but anyway
[23:19] <KebabBob> lol
[23:19] <unop> LurkerInTheWebs, read the manpage i suppose
[23:19] <eligos> hello everyone
[23:20] <KebabBob> Well whatever, I was just trying to give an estimation given the info I had
[23:20] <qr_> unop: cool ... rebel_kid  do what unop says above, apparently you can get progress that way.
[23:20] <linxeh> :0) sorry, I was just being a fool
