[01:06] <defrysk> simon__, also read the comments on that package for secondlife : http://www.getdeb.net/comment.php?rel_id=1057
[01:06] <intelikey> ari_stress you bet
[01:06] <simon__> yeah. maybe. like 1o minutes... while the cpu usage is at a minimum?
[01:06] <ari_stress> intelikey: ok, try this command: dig www.ubuntu.com
[01:07] <jareth_> defrysk: i locate path to the cache and try that.
[01:07] <defrysk> simon__, in short bad decision to try that package
[01:07] <defrysk> jareth_, k
[01:07] <jareth_> defrysk: still the same shit.. maybe try it yourself to see ??
[01:07] <intelikey> ari_stress looks like another time out
[01:07] <razorx> i have a problem.. my gdesklet is acting wierd
[01:07] <simon__> yeah... my bad. but i really need my computer to work
[01:07] <ari_stress> intelikey: on the proxy server, try to dig www.ubuntu.com
[01:08] <ari_stress> intelikey: let's make sure it;'s working on the proxy server
[01:08] <intelikey> ari_stress i'm talking to you on it... i think it works
[01:08] <ari_stress> ok
[01:08] <jareth_> defrysk: i installed flash since breezy days without trouble via apt. No mistake on my side.. Use also medibuntu repos..
[01:08] <ari_stress> intelikey: you sure ip_forward = 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf?
[01:09] <intelikey> cat /etc/sysctl.conf
[01:09] <intelikey> net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
[01:09] <defrysk> jareth_, locate install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[01:09] <defrysk> then remove it
[01:09] <defrysk> jareth_, locate is a search command
[01:09] <intelikey> ari_stress but i may need to activate that somehow.  it's probably not automatic either
[01:09] <ari_stress> intelikey: try sysctl -a (to reload it)
[01:10] <intelikey> k
[01:10] <ari_stress> ups wrong
[01:10] <ari_stress> intelikey: it's sysctl -p
[01:10] <intelikey> still no change
[01:10] <jareth_> defrysk: i already did after i did apt-get autoremove nonfree-flashplugin. removed download files from /var/cache/apt/, afterwards i did a apt-get install nonfree-flashplgin...
[01:10] <jareth_> defrysk: what's wrong?
[01:11] <ari_stress> intelikey: let me google for you
[01:11] <Catoptromancy> aptitude instead of ap-get
[01:11] <intelikey> ari_stress   ;/
[01:11] <defrysk> jareth_, install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz has an md5sum mismatch , so it has to be removed and redownloaded
[01:11] <jareth_> maybe someone should try to reproduce this?
[01:12] <Catoptromancy> shouldnt need a .tar to install flash
[01:12] <nafik> hi, i've got an issue - when i try to connect via xchat-gnome or xchat (both IRC clients) to the server irc.quakenet.org - i got a message "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" in a terminal and IRC client exit.... log into other servers is ok... log into server irc.quakenet.org with an other IRC client (for example LorstIRC) is ok... do you have an idea?
[01:12] <jareth_> defrysk: i did that for already 5 times now !
[01:12] <Catoptromancy> im watch flash right now and never downloaded a .tar
[01:12] <defrysk> jareth_, with the rm command ?
[01:12] <jareth_> yep
[01:12] <defrysk> Catoptromancy, you are clueless
[01:12] <JosefK> is anyone else seeing lots of "/usr/share/fonts: failed to write cache" errors trying to dist-upgrade a fresh Feisty install?
[01:12] <JosefK> it's blocking 3/4 of the packages in the update that depend on it :/
[01:13] <jareth_> when downloading the .deb, tarball is downloaded and that refuses to install for me...
[01:13] <yu31g7> Anyone willing to help me with a quick file replacement via the command line?
[01:13] <yu31g7> I sort of messed with xorg.config and crashed X
[01:13] <philipsmith> How do I change the default directory for the "file search" tool that is under Places > Search for FIles ?? Thanks! Phil Smith, Duluth, GA
[01:13] <intelikey> yu31g7 cp file /dest/filename
[01:13] <yu31g7> And whilst I have a backup, I'm clueless as to how to replace the original file again
[01:13] <defrysk> jareth_, maybe the connection of the link used by the package is poor so it might be wise to try again tomorrow
[01:14] <CheesyMonkey> yu31g7, It will be sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:14] <dron> hi, people! I have a problem: how I can adjust my keyboard's hot keys for start amarok?
[01:14] <CheesyMonkey> yu31g7, Or whatever you named your backup :)
[01:14] <yu31g7> Okay, sounds good
[01:14] <jareth_> defrysk: i can live without flash for a few more days.. thanks for your advise <:)
[01:14] <yu31g7> Thank yo
[01:14] <yu31g7> That's actually exactly what the backup is called
[01:14] <defrysk> jareth_, good luck
[01:14] <ari_stress> intelikey: this is it :) http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html
[01:14] <jareth_> defrysk: :)
[01:14] <intelikey> yu31g7 sudo cp /path/to/backup.xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:15] <intelikey> ari_stress looking
[01:15] <jareth_> defrysk: otherwise i do it oldefashioned way.. i'll see...
[01:15] <gutsytrials> Hi, my grub directory is on /dev/sdc2, but grub is not working.
[01:16] <nafik>  hi, i've got an issue - when i try to connect via xchat-gnome or xchat (both IRC clients) to the server irc.quakenet.org - i got a message "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" in a terminal and IRC client exit.... log into other servers is ok... log into server irc.quakenet.org with an other IRC client (for example LorstIRC) is ok... do you have an idea?
[01:16] <ari_stress> intelikey: i think you might want to replace ethX with ppp0
[01:16] <intelikey> ari_stress not realy an option on a server with dialup internet
[01:16] <intelikey> ari_stress did i miss something ?    the link said install firestarter
[01:17] <ari_stress> what?
[01:17] <ari_stress> intelikey: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html
[01:17] <gutsytrials> I'm trying to fix my grub, but it says "Could not find device for /boot"
[01:17] <gutsytrials> Any ideas?
[01:18] <ari_stress> intelikey: firestarter is a firewall script that can do internet sharing too
[01:18] <ari_stress> you can use it if you want
[01:18] <intelikey> ari_stress no. that's what i was saying    i can't really install firestarter  too many deps
[01:20] <ledemente> I was looking for a GBA/GBC emulator for ubuntu (with a graphical frontend) the enables use of GameShark codes. Any help?
[01:20] <leszek> visualboy is a good choice
[01:21] <yu31g7> Excellent!
[01:21] <minerva> ola
[01:21] <yu31g7> xorg.conf is replaced as requred.
[01:21] <yu31g7> Thanks to everyone that helped out:)
[01:21] <intelikey> ari_stress i dl'd that exact page and did all that including the installing of the dnsmasq and stuff   before i came in here and asked...  still no joy.   but thanks for all the fish,   it'll make good eating if nothing else  :)
[01:22] <gutsytrials> I changed the flag in gparted to boot, will that do it?
[01:22] <intelikey> gutsytrials you are in the wrong channel i think   #ubuntu+1
[01:22] <dissection> I have an odd problem with Mozilla Firefox. Sometimes it starts creating several windows (blank page). Yesterday it created like 60 windows and I had to use killall. It happened again today. What could have caused that?
[01:23] <ari_stress> intelikey: just take it easy, sooner or later you'll be able to set it up
[01:23] <ledemente> leszek: it doesn't allow Gamshark though
[01:23] <gutsytrials> I'm over there, too, but it's really just a grub problem, so....
[01:23] <simon__> everything works fine again
[01:23] <simon__> thx for all help
[01:25] <intelikey> ari_stress many thanks for the patience    and help.
[01:25] <ari_stress> intelikey: you;re welcome :)
[01:25] <stuart_> is the only diff between xubuntu and ubuntu, xfce and gnome?
[01:25] <ari_stress> i'm happy for your success
[01:26] <stuart_> or is the core different as well? because my BIOS battery died and i've noticed xubuntu makes a bigger fuss out of it than ubuntu
[01:27] <crolle17> i made the following: i removed the current svn-package and then installed again. but now i get the message: "package subversion is not available; but is referenced by another package. that could mean that a package is too old or only available from another source. E: package subversion has not installationcandidate"
[01:27] <crolle17> can somebody please help me.
[01:27] <Bonzodog> I need some help with nfs
[01:27] <kaslepro> can someone please tell me how to install my bcm43xx network card? please take it slow... i'm a newbie
[01:28] <xusamuel> my x window always crash. I need some help
[01:28] <Bonzodog> I have a laptop with feisty on, and a desktop with Zenwalk (read:Slackware) on it
[01:29] <Bonzodog> I have the zenwalk machine exporting my home dir as the server
[01:29] <gutsytrials> OK, in Nautilus, disk-3 is my boot partition, how do I find out what it's /dev/sdx is?
[01:29] <ari_stress> gutsytrials: sudo mount
[01:29] <cewEk> dienda
[01:30] <Phydoux> kaslepro, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Edgy   Go as slow as you need to...
[01:30] <gutsytrials> thanks!
[01:30] <gutsytrials> Now how do I fix the grub that is on /dev/hda3?
[01:30] <ari_stress> gutsytrials: u mean the grub is broken?
[01:31] <gutsytrials> yes.
[01:31] <gutsytrials> Error 22.
[01:31] <crolle17> svn-package-expert needed.
[01:31] <ari_stress> gutsytrials: how come it broke? can u tell
[01:31] <hellsing> what package that contain gnome menu editor ?
[01:31] <gutsytrials> I installed a new version of Ubuntu (64bit)
[01:32] <ari_stress> and?
[01:32] <gutsytrials> hellsing: system preferences main menu.
[01:32] <gutsytrials> And now I get Error 22
[01:33] <ari_stress> gutsytrials: so, it's not bootable now?
[01:33] <gutsytrials> I think that is the problem.
[01:33] <gutsytrials> maybe it is not mounting as /boot or something
[01:33] <gutsytrials> I have gparted open.
[01:34] <hellsing> i think i miss the package, it don't show
[01:35] <gutsytrials> if I change the flag to boot in gparted will that fix it?
[01:35] <ari_stress> gutsytrials: so you're using a live cd to inspect the drive. well, you can boot with the cd and enter rescue mode, from it, you can try grub-install /dev/sda
[01:35] <odat> anyone here familiar with banshee?
[01:36] <hellsing> what package i must install to get system preferences main menu
[01:37] <gutsytrials> I tried that already, but I think it is not mounting as the boot drive.
[01:37] <leszek> hellsing, what ? the gnome System panel window ? Or the SLED Main Menu ?
[01:39] <hellsing> leszek, the gnome System panel window.
[01:39] <leszek> hellsing, it is installed already in feisty
[01:40] <hellsing> i am installing gnome manually, i am using ubuntu server installation...
[01:40] <leszek> hellsing, ah hmm... wait a sec
[01:40] <HEP85> hellsing: /usr/bin/python -OOt /usr/bin/alacarte
[01:40] <Pici> hellsing: if you install the ubuntu-desktop package it will include everything you need. Unless for some reason you dont want to do that.
[01:41] <mak_> HI Guys
[01:41] <HEP85> hellsing: package "alacarte"
[01:41] <mak_> Iam new to UBUNTU and Linux..
[01:41] <gcw|solurity> What package has the 32-bit compatibility libraries (for feisty)
[01:41] <gcw|solurity> mak_: wassup?
[01:41] <leszek> hellsing, it is gnome-control-center isn't it that what you are searching for ?
[01:42] <HEP85> gcw|solurity: ia32-libs + linux32
[01:42] <mak_> I want to do some programming (web development).
[01:42] <gcw|solurity> HEP85: thx
[01:42] <mak_> can you tell me, where to start in Linux.
[01:42] <hellsing> leszek, i have already install it
[01:42] <gcw|solurity> mak_: try to be more specific
[01:43] <hellsing> how to edit the main menu manually via texteditor...
[01:43] <mak_> I mean, I want to learn some programming langague in linux.
[01:43] <mak_> I don't know much about linux, so where should i start ..
[01:43] <Catoptromancy> mak_, start with shells
[01:43] <hellsing> alacarte had show me something wrong
[01:43] <liquiddoom> mak_: try shellscripts
[01:43] <Catoptromancy> heh
[01:43] <yellow_chicken> mak_: learn bash, or perl
[01:43] <liquiddoom> mak_: they're simple, but fairly powerful
[01:44] <liquiddoom> Speaking of which
[01:44] <mak_> but what is the use of those bash and perl.
[01:44] <Zamber> mak_ scripting. You can automate a lot of things with it
[01:44] <Frogzoo> !docs | mak_
[01:44] <ubotu> mak_: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com
[01:44] <gcw|solurity> mak_: Bash is a shell (think of command.com from dos or cmd.exe from NT) and it's very powerful both for moving around a system and for scripting/programming
[01:45] <mak_> ok..thanks..
[01:45] <liquiddoom> What's the best way to make logfiles?
[01:45] <yellow_chicken> mak_: for web stuff, perl is nice with cgi
[01:45] <liquiddoom> Can I simply write to the file in /var/log, or should I use some daemon or command?
[01:45] <Catoptromancy> < logfile anyname.txt
[01:45] <Catoptromancy> i think
[01:45] <liquiddoom> I'll check
[01:45] <HEP85> what have bash scripts to do with web development?
[01:45] <gcw|solurity> liquiddoom is asking about "logs" ;-)
[01:46] <Catoptromancy> liquiddoom, it logs the termnail for the command
[01:46] <Catoptromancy> might not be what you need
[01:46] <liquiddoom> Okay, I found logsave
[01:46] <liquiddoom> seems like it'll work.
[01:47] <liquiddoom> meh, I'll just use >>
[01:49] <hellsing> my application menu, show nothing even i have revert it in alacarte. what's wrong is it.
[01:50] <Scabdates> can someone please help me?
[01:50] <Scabdates> i'm having major trouble
[01:51] <liquiddoom> !ask | Scabdates
[01:51] <ubotu> Scabdates: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:52] <Scabdates> I have a 200gb Western Digital Hard drive. I only have XP installed on it but i want to dual boot with ubuntu 7.04. problem is, i'm trying to make a partition with partitionexpert, i have 140gb free, but i cant make the partiton any bigger than 7mb
[01:52] <steven_> hi
[01:52] <liquiddoom> Scabdates: Use gparted on the ubntu cd
[01:52] <liquiddoom> Scabdates: Or when installing ubuntu, use the partitioner
[01:53] <liquiddoom> !dualboot | Scabdates
[01:53] <ubotu> Scabdates: Dual boot instructions:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo (x86/AMD64) - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot (Macintosh)
[01:53] <HEP85> Scabdates: or try gparted livecd: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[01:53] <stuart_> what's the command to run shell if i want to add a launcher on my desktop?
[01:53] <x_> dy ... i have problem with SOUND ... anyone can help me ?!
 gnome-terminal
[01:53] <stuart_> liquiddoom, is it the same if i'm using xfce?
[01:53] <Scabdates> i tried
[01:53] <steven_> i've 2 PCs connected via a crossed cable, ive installed dnsmasq on one of these and configured eth0 for static ip, on the other i've configured eth0 for dhcp lease, but it doesn't work, i receive no dhcp offers
[01:53] <Scabdates> it wont let me make partitions bigger than 7mb
[01:53] <liquiddoom> stuart_: no, I'm not sure what xfce uses
[01:54] <stuart_> k
[01:54] <whatspy> hi folks, some package is marked for installation by aptitude, but evidence shows it's already installed (I'm using it everyday!) . so everytime I do my updates I'm getting an error because of this, ever since a power outage occured during an update... how can I fix this ?
[01:54] <x_> who can help me about Sound card ?!
[01:54] <liquiddoom> stuart_: try this in your shell: echo $TERM
[01:54] <stuart_> i'm downoading ubuntu anyawys. a little bored of xubuntu
[01:54] <liquiddoom> stuart_: That should tell you what terminal you're running
[01:54] <stuart_> liquiddoom, xterm
[01:54] <Scabdates> any ideas?
[01:55] <liquiddoom> stuart_: Then make a launcher for that
[01:55] <stuart_> liquiddoom, cool. works. thanks!
[01:55] <liquiddoom> stuart_: also, to install the ubuntu bits, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[01:55] <x_> i have no sound in linux , how i can install sound card devices ?!
[01:55] <liquiddoom> !alsa | x_
[01:55] <ubotu> x_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[01:56] <Scabdates> i defragmented too, i dont know what's wrong :(
[01:56] <skulrid> Hello, I used an old ubuntu cd to recover the GRUB. I went to instalation mode chose the "/" and "/swap", and didnt format them, then thers a error and i continue to install grub, theres another error and I say OK, it intalls and I get the GRUB back but UBUNTU wont start... theres some mountin errors and stuf... anyone knows wath this is?
[01:56] <stuart_> liquiddoom, i don't know.. i think i wanna fresh install an ubuntu drive. xubuntu fusses way too much over my dead BIOS battery
[01:56] <stuart_> liquiddoom, is the core much different from ubuntu anyways? i think xubuntu's bootup is weird.
[01:57] <liquiddoom> stuart_: Same kernel, different desktop manager
[01:57] <liquiddoom> stuart_: Most of the base components are the same.
[01:57] <stuart_> liquiddoom, oh? that means i'm just missing out on gnome?
[01:57] <liquiddoom> stuart_: yep
[01:57] <stuart_> i feel weird because sound on xfce is a little muffled, and the bootup is really giving me crap. i thought it was the kernel
[01:57] <liquiddoom> stuart_: It installs gnome and a few gnome utilities
[01:58] <Scabdates> there doesn't seme to be a cause :(
[01:58] <liquiddoom> stuart_: What's going on with the bootup?
[01:58] <stuart_> but if that's the case, no point downloading fresh then
[01:59] <progress0r> my fonts on feisty just SUCK. I tried enabling the subpixel rendering and it appeared to do nothing. And ideas?
[01:59] <stuart_> liquiddoom, my BIOS battery is dead, so gnome usually just fails the clock check. but on xubuntu it makes a big fuss about checking my HD, rebooting after checking, and can't write fsck, etc.
[01:59] <liquiddoom> stuart_: Ah, so the hardware clock goes nuts
[01:59] <liquiddoom> stuart_: Set it to sync the time frequently
[02:00] <liquiddoom> stuart_: I think the command is time-admin
[02:00] <stuart_> liquiddoom, doesn't help. once i turn off the pc, it forgets.
[02:00] <liquiddoom> stuart_: hmm... would replacing the battery be hard?
[02:00] <Scabdates> well then...
[02:00] <stuart_> liquiddoom, perhaps. i have a freakin old pc. or maybe i'm just illiterate in that area
[02:01] <garethlaw> hello
[02:01] <garethlaw> hello?
[02:01] <liquiddoom> stuart_: look on the motherboard. It will generally be a button cell (looks like a silver nickel-sized button) or a battery pack
[02:01] <wiking> after system updating i have problem with sound device :( now I can hear music just in earphones
[02:01] <skulrid> is there a way to reeinstall UBUNTU without lossing all my files?? I cant load ubuntu but I need all my files
[02:02] <liquiddoom> stuart_: If it's a button cell, you can get a replacement easliy. Just write down the number you see on it, like "CR2032"
[02:02] <Scabdates> I have a 200gb hard drive. There is 140gb of free space. No matter what method I use, It only let's me partition 7mb which is clearly not enough for a dual boot, what is wrong?
[02:02] <jrib> skulrid: I would boot up a live cd, mount your partition and backup your files if you haven't already before doing anything else
[02:02] <dissection> Anyone here has had any problems using FileZilla FTP Client? It tries to upload the same file over and over again
[02:03] <stuart_> liquiddoom, is it supposed to be a size of a thumb button cell?
[02:03] <skulrid> jrib can u explain that better please?
[02:03] <erUSUL__> dissection: try with gftp (instaled by default iirc)
[02:03] <liquiddoom> stuart_: Yeah.
[02:03] <dissection> erUSUL__: Is that the CLI based one?
[02:04] <wiking> after system updating i have problem with sound device :( now I can hear music just in earphones. Can i "update" it back???
[02:04] <dissection> !gftp
[02:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gftp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:04] <erUSUL> dissection: nope it has GUI
[02:04] <jrib> skulrid: ok, if you put the desktop cd in your drive and boot your system, you should end up with a working operating system running from the CD.  Then mount the partition your files are on and copy them to removable media or some other safe place
[02:05] <Scabdates> *Cries* no ubuntu for scabdates ?
[02:05] <skulrid> [jrib] : oh I see. the problem is there isnt that option in my cds..
[02:05] <liquiddoom> Scabdates: I wasn't exactly following, but it won't work in gparted?
[02:05] <jrib> skulrid: what option?
[02:05] <EnkeleiD> hello any soft for ubuntu to remote my pc from the internet?
[02:05] <skulrid> [jrib] : to end up with a working operating system running from the CD
[02:06] <EnkeleiD> hello any soft for ubuntu to remote my pc from the internet , and from windows machines too?
[02:06] <free-radical> hi ppl
[02:06] <erUSUL> !info gftp | dissection
[02:06] <jrib> skulrid: what version of ubuntu?
[02:06] <liquiddoom> !vnc | EnkeleiD
[02:06] <ubotu> dissection: gftp: X/GTK+ FTP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.18-16ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 44 kB, installed size 76 kB
[02:06] <ubotu> EnkeleiD: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[02:06] <free-radical> when using NetworkManager, is there a way to handle ifup/ifdown events?
[02:06] <stuart_> well blimey
[02:06] <Scabdates> liquiddoom: I tried using Ubuntu's built in partioner, and it sorta almost worked but then it forze, and after i restarted i didnt have access to resize the main partition any longer. i also tried making a partition in PartitionMagic from the 140gb of free space i have on this HDD
[02:06] <stuart_> liquiddoom, it is cr2032
[02:06] <free-radical> i want to kill or restart my pidgin, whenever internet connection is loosed or established
[02:06] <EnkeleiD> vnc is a client
[02:06] <skulrid> [jrib] : I dont know... but this one is kinda old... theres only boot or server boot, and a more recent version like crashes when I choose start or install
[02:07] <stuart_> liquiddoom, do they sell them everywhere? cheap?
[02:07] <free-radical> anybody an idea?
[02:07] <liquiddoom> stuart_: Yep. If you live in the US, try a radioshack or such
[02:07] <stuart_> not in US, sadly.
[02:07] <zweiundzwei> hi, i'd like to have ubuntu open the terminal and execute "md5check [file.md5] " when clicking on file.md5. how do i do that?
[02:07] <stuart_> if i were in the US the first thing i'd do is find myself an MMA gym
[02:07] <stuart_> will try to get a hold of one. thanks.
[02:07] <liquiddoom> stuart_: Look anywhere you can get batteries
[02:07] <dissection> erUSUL: Thank you. I'm installing it :)
[02:08] <jrib> skulrid: well anything after 6.06 dapper will have a desktop cd that is both the install and live system.  Burn one of those and try it.  If that doesn't work, try something like knoppix
[02:08] <Daverocks> free-radical: you could have a shell script running in the background checking network connectivity, and if it can't get on to the internet, it can kill the pidgin process
[02:08] <liquiddoom> stuart_: You can get them online cheap if you don't see any locally
[02:08] <skulrid> [jrib] : ok thnks im gonna try that
[02:08] <Scabdates> liquiddoom: i just can't figure it out. there's no reason i shouldn't be able to take 30gb of free space from my HD and make a new partition with it?
[02:08] <Daverocks> free-radical: but in my experience pidgin just keeps trying to reconnect... when my internet comes back, pidgin connects back again
[02:08] <stuart_> liquiddoom, how do i go about taking it out anyways. it seems fastened
[02:08] <free-radical> Daverocks: hm okay, but i want to kill pidgin _before_ connection will be terminated
[02:09] <liquiddoom> Scabdates: Start up the cd and run "gksudo gparted"
[02:09] <Daverocks> free-radical: so you're terminating the connection?
[02:09] <stuart_> fastened by a black rubber thing
[02:09] <free-radical> Daverocks: the main problem is, i use suspend very excessively and i want my pidgin to close the icq connections before suspending
[02:09] <jrib> skulrid: what happens when you try to load up ubuntu anyway?
[02:09] <liquiddoom> stuart_: Generally, you pry it out carefully.
[02:09] <Daverocks> free-radical: make killing pidgin part of your suspend script
[02:09] <EnkeleiD> hello any software server for ubuntu to remote my pc from the internet , and from windows machines too?
[02:09] <stuart_> liquiddoom, oh. will try
[02:09] <Daverocks> free-radical: ah, this is ubuntu, there's a suspend button... heh...
[02:09] <free-radical> Daverocks: and where can i find that script?
[02:09] <liquiddoom> stuart_: Use something like a screwdriver and go up under the clip, and wedge the battery out
[02:09] <jrib> EnkeleiD: like ssh?
[02:10] <stuart_> cool. gotta get a battery first
[02:10] <free-radical> Daverocks: some days ago, in my gentoo system, in fact i did it that way
[02:10] <Daverocks> free-radical: yeah, ubuntu is more difficult to hack on
[02:10] <liquiddoom> free-radical: how about this
[02:11] <skulrid> [jrib] : FIrst I can see ubuntu logo and the 2 first steps (of the OS loading) are OK then it turns black and it says mkdir: cannot creat directory.... read only fulesystem, ant then it takes loads of time to load the hardware drives and ends up with lots of mouting erros and stuff...
[02:11] <free-radical> how do other people solve the problems with pidgin and suspend?
[02:11] <liquiddoom> free-radical: add a line to /etc/interfaces or whatever the NIC file is
[02:11] <EnkeleiD> jrib graphical
[02:11] <EnkeleiD> jrib graphical like ubuntu
[02:11] <EnkeleiD> :)
[02:11] <Daverocks> liquiddoom: yah i was thinking that as well
[02:11] <jrib> !vnc > EnkeleiD (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:11] <jrib> skulrid: what if you choose "recovery mode" at the grub menu?
[02:11] <liquiddoom> free-radical: Okay, found it
[02:11] <EnkeleiD> i have seen it but it is a client isnt?
[02:12] <free-radical> liquiddoom: hm, but that works with NetworkManager?
[02:12] <KI4IKL> I have the second life folder on my desktop. I run second life from just clicking on a script in there, how can I set a launcher on my desktop to cd to that directory, then run that file....btw it's a ./ file
[02:12] <skulrid> jrib basicly the same thing... it wont start
[02:12] <Daverocks> KI4IKL: make a symbolic link
[02:12] <liquiddoom> free-radical: Edit /etc/network/interfaces and add a line "up pidgin" and "down killall pidgin"
[02:12] <KI4IKL> a what?
[02:13] <jrib> EnkeleiD: ubuntu has several vnc servers in the repositories.  You even have system -> administration -> remote desktop  by default
[02:13] <liquiddoom> free-radical: It should work with the NetworkManager.
[02:13] <Daverocks> actually, it might actually be better if you cd'd to the directory, it might need it as the working directory
[02:13] <Daverocks> KI4IKL: ^^
[02:13] <KI4IKL> yeah, but how do I make a launcher that cd's to the directory?
[02:13] <Daverocks> KI4IKL: make a simple bash script on your desktop, "cd secondlifefolder/ && ./secondlife"
[02:14] <MattJ> KI4IKL, where do you want the launcher?
[02:14] <EnkeleiD> krfb?
[02:14] <free-radical> liquiddoom: kk, i'll test that, thanks a lot
[02:14] <KI4IKL> thanks Daverocks
[02:14] <liquiddoom> free-radical: Don't forget to add it to the proper interface section
[02:15] <Newbie_Dude> I am trying to make a launcher/shortcut of a command I need to run from terminal. I need to type "wine D4S.exe" and I have to type that in a particular folder "My Downloads" ... Can this be done with a launcher/shortcut?
[02:15] <Daverocks> KI4IKL: no problem, don't forget to put "#!/bin/bash" as the first line and set it executable..
[02:15] <skulrid> jrib shalll i download 6.06 or 7.04?
[02:15] <free-radical> liquiddoom: i cant recognize any sections here?!
[02:15] <liquiddoom> free-radical: ah
[02:15] <jrib> skulrid: I would go with 7.04
[02:15] <skulrid> [jrib] : ok
[02:15] <liquiddoom> free-radical: you see where it says things like "iface eth1" and such
[02:15] <logixoul> Hi. Trying to install Feisty. The installer window suddenly disappeared at like 95%. Rebooting shows that GRUB isn't installed (I'm thrown into Windows). The installed Kubuntu partition doesn't have a grub/ dir under /boot, so I can't even install grub manually, it seems.
[02:16] <jrib> skulrid: recovery mode should give you more verbose information though
[02:16] <logixoul> Any hints please?
[02:16] <liquiddoom> free-radical: Add it under the interface you're using. If you're not sure which you're using, run ifconfig and see which one has an IP
[02:16] <KI4IKL> ack! I sent an important file to the trash and it's gone, how can I recover it???
[02:16] <free-radical> liquiddoom: yes, i see that "iface eth1 inet dhcp"
[02:16] <jrib> KI4IKL: "it's gone" means you deleted it, or?
[02:16] <Daverocks> KI4IKL: if it's just in the trash, you can just drag it out again
[02:17] <KI4IKL> I looked in my trash folder...and it's not there
[02:17] <free-radical> liquiddoom: and here, i have to write "iface eht1 inet dhcp up pidgin" or what is the syntax here?
[02:17] <liquiddoom> <free-radical
[02:17] <liquiddoom> free-radical: I'll pastebin what to write
[02:17] <Daverocks> KI4IKL: k, how did you delete it? shift-delete in nautilus, rm from bash, etc?
[02:17] <radoe> KI4IKL: Unless you have a backup its gone forever then.
[02:18] <KI4IKL> I right clicked and clicked move to trash
[02:18] <free-radical> liquiddoom: i dont know so much about that irc and pastebin stuff :(
[02:18] <liquiddoom> free-radical: I'm just gonna send you a link which will show you what to write
[02:18] <jrib> KI4IKL: you can try: sudo updatedb && locate NAME_OF_YOUR_FILE
[02:18] <fevel> hello
[02:18] <Daverocks> free-radical: basically he/she will give you a link to a website which has text on it, that he/she posted
[02:18] <free-radical> liquiddoom: yes, kk, give me that link ^^
[02:25] (LuitvD/#ubuntu) hm, I guess I should have this channel, or the RT2x00 Project channel
[02:26] (teenbeat2007/#ubuntu) cant get it back in sound, i had sound half an hour ago , but not anymore
[02:26] (skieros/#ubuntu) hello
[02:26] (erUSUL/#ubuntu) aricz: gpm
[02:26] (skieros/#ubuntu) whats he best movie player for ubuntu?
[02:27] <aricz> erUSUL : ahh, excellent, thank you:)
[02:27] <skieros> ?
[02:27] <Daverocks> skieros: people's opinions of what "the best" is will vary
[02:27] <skieros> well the most common used lest say
[02:27] <radoe> Kevin4381: ATI Binary Drivers and "Desktop effects" do not work well together, as they are missing some needed extensions. You need to setup Xgl for that. For a 9800Pro you should stick with Xorgs radeon driver.
[02:27] <skieros> for exampel what do you use?
[02:28] <Daverocks> skieros: well in ubuntu, Totem would have to be one of the most popular, since it's the default movie player
[02:28] <skieros> another one?
[02:28] <skieros> skieros@dell:~$ sudo apt-get install mplayer
[02:28] <skieros> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[02:28] <radoe> skieros: (g)xine or vlc.
[02:28] <lore_> Daverocks: yes...
[02:28] <skieros> why doent it let me download it?
[02:28] <Daverocks> skieros: make sure you don't have something else using the apt database (e.g. synaptic)
[02:29] <skieros> a yes synaptic is updating
[02:29] <radoe> skieros: some other package manager frontend (synaptic or adept is open)
[02:29] <Daverocks> skieros: wait for it to finish
[02:29] <skieros> alright
[02:29] <Daverocks> lore_: let me check on my ubuntu system
[02:29] <taxman> skieros: only one process can use the package database at once
[02:29] <lore_> Daverocks: ok!
[02:29] <aricz> Why is the ncurses-colors wrong in ubuntu but not on other distros ?
[02:29] <skieros> i see, you guys also sue v7.04 right?
[02:29] <taxman> yes
[02:29] <skieros> s/sue/use/
[02:30] <Kevin4381> radoe; I'm not quite sure what you mean ...
[02:30] <jrib> aricz: huh?
[02:30] <Cplunsford> hey anyone know what the wine and the cedaga channels are?
[02:30] <Daverocks> skieros: i'm not using ubuntu at the moment, but i've got dapper on another box (yah i know i shoud upgrade but it's LTS :P)
[02:30] <Kevin4381> radoe:  - I downloaded ATI's drivers (after testing desktop effects without them--and it didn't work) ..
[02:30] <Cplunsford> anyone?
[02:30] <aricz> jrib : yeah, they're showing wrong colors..
[02:30] <skieros> LTS stands for linux from scratch right?
[02:30] <leszek> LOL
[02:30] <liquiddoom> long term support
[02:31] <jrib> aricz: you have to be more specific
[02:31] <liquiddoom> LFS is linux from scratch
[02:31] <jrib> skieros: lfs
[02:31] <skieros> loool sorry!
[02:31] <revilodraw> heellooo how do i check if ipv6 is disabled... there is a terminal command
[02:31] <Cplunsford> LFS
[02:31] <aricz> jrib : well, there seems to be some problems with the TERM=linux .. playing games that uses ncurses (or for that matter, the irc-client BitchX) shows the wrong colors
[02:31] <Daverocks> revilodraw: do a "ifconfig" and see if there's a inet6 addr or not
[02:31] <taxman> Cplunsford: did you check their websites? or you can do a channel search
[02:31] <skieros> mpalyer will eb able to handle mp3 and audio fiels as well corret?
[02:31] <aricz> jrib : for some reason it only uses 7 maincolors for 16 colors ..
[02:31] <radoe> Kevin4381: ATI's driver does not work out if the box for desktop effects (beryl or compiz) as it is missing the "Composite extension". You need another X-Server (Xgl) to get it working.
[02:32] <Cplunsford> taxman, not really I figured some one here would know'
[02:32] <Cplunsford> im looking it up atm actually
[02:32] <Daverocks> lore_: lol eclipse has a lot of dependencies
[02:32] <alaQ> revilodraw: ifconfig | grep inet6
[02:32] <jrib> aricz: what terminal emulator are you using?
[02:32] <taxman> no its long term support
[02:32] <Kevin4381> thanks radoe; I can continue using the ATI drivers I downloaded and installed then.. and just install Xgl?
[02:32] <lore_> Daverocks: yes, a LOT :)
[02:32] <aricz> jrib : how do I find out about that? TERM=linux .. that's all I know
[02:32] <aricz> jrib : :)
[02:33] <Cplunsford> join #winehq
[02:33] <radoe> Kevin4381: to avoid this, use the original radeon driver comming with Ubuntu, it should support effects and 3D acceleration on your 9800pro
[02:33] <Cplunsford> woops
[02:33] <jrib> aricz: what program do you use to get a terminal?
[02:33] <aricz> jrib : how do I find out?
[02:33] <jim> why can I not get CGI.pm installed on apache2 ?
[02:33] <Some_Person> Can I disable the GRUB menu?
[02:33] <aricz> jrib : I'm in virtual console..
[02:33] <jrib> aricz: ah
[02:33] <aricz> jrib : "ordinary" console ..
[02:34] <stuart_> is there an MSN client for linux that will allow pics, filesharing, etc?
[02:34] <revilodraw> alaQ: ifconfig | grep inet6    ... no news is good news right?
[02:34] <Daverocks> lore_: yeah, just install eclipse and it'll handle all the dependencies
[02:34] <magnetron> stuart_: try amsn
[02:34] <aricz> jrib : so, you wouldn't know more about this ?
[02:34] <Daverocks> revilodraw: yeah, means ipv6 is disabled
[02:34] <taxman> Some_Person: why would you want to? Then you couldn't boot other OS's
[02:34] <alaQ> revilodraw: yeah, if you want it disabled.
[02:35] <stuart_> magnetron, thanks. will do.
[02:35] <jrib> aricz: nope, not offhand
[02:35] <Some_Person> taxman: I use Vista's bootloader for my 4 os's
[02:35] <Daverocks> stuart_: amsn is good, pidgin also does what you want
[02:35] <fevel> I installed ie4linux but cant type anything in the url fiels??
[02:35] <nomad111> how can i get the newer style 'start' (so to speak) menu in ubuntu
[02:35] <nomad111> similar to the one in linux mint
[02:35] <Some_Person> taxman: i don't like going through 2 menus to load ubuntu
[02:35] <dissection> Hi, my friend wants to know how he can check if he's using KDE or GNOME. I think he's using a different distro
[02:35] <skieros> if i downlaod mpalyer will it have all common codecs indise it? becaus totem doeasen play even a simple mp3
[02:35] <stuart_> oh yeah, plan to install neverwinter nights with wine later, how'd i know if i installed nvidia properly?
[02:35] <nomad111> what package should i download
[02:35] <Daverocks> Some_Person: have vista overwrite grub on the MBR with its own bootloader
[02:35] <fevel> there is an h there and nothing I type works....did anybody have the same problem??
[02:35] <revilodraw> alaQ: stupid question maybe, but do i want it disabled?
[02:36] <Daverocks> Some_Person: like, the loader that loads the vista boot loader menu :P
[02:36] <Some_Person> Daverocks: Vista is in the MBR
[02:36] <taxman> Some_Person: makes sense. I can't recall how, but the offical grub docs would tell you. OR what Daverocks said
[02:36] <radoe> skieros: just install the missing (restricted) codecs for use with totem.
[02:36] <Daverocks> Some_Person: ah right, you boot ubuntu from vista, ubuntu brings up its grub
[02:36] <skieros> will maplyer have them by default?
[02:36] <Some_Person> Daverocks: correct
[02:36] <Daverocks> Some_Person: that must mean grub is installed on the partition?
[02:36] <alaQ> revilodraw: I've not really noticed a difference running either way, because if it's not available, there's always ipv4 lurking about...
[02:36] <Daverocks> Some_Person: as opposed to the mbr
[02:36] <Some_Person> Daverocks: correct
[02:37] <Daverocks> skieros: yes, mplayer comes with everything
[02:37] <magnetron> dissection: compare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gnome-2.18-release_notes.png to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:SnapshotKDE37.png
[02:37] <skieros> cool
[02:38] <Some_Person> Daverocks: I have it working like I want, except I want to hide/remove the GRUB menu
[02:38] <ledemente> Hi all, I'm trying to get VMWare working and I find that it halts/aborts after: Unable to build the vmmon module.
[02:38] <revilodraw> alaQ: hmm i think its a little faster with ipv6 disabled (and thats y i wanted to check) but im pretyy sure windows connects to the internet server or whatever faster, but ubuntu seems to load the page faster
[02:38] <ledemente> It has other info, but I don't think I'd be allowed to paste it all.
[02:38] <Daverocks> Some_Person: i'm just thinking of ways to remove grub from the partition but i don't think that's easy
[02:38] <dick> test
[02:38] <nomad111> ah ye its called 'menu bar', so where can i get the new style menu bar as seen in this screenshot http://linuxmint.com/pictures/screenshots/cassandra/2.png
[02:38] <Daverocks> Some_Person: it's probably easier to set the timeout to like 0 or 1 second
[02:38] <taxman> Some_Person: I found it. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/hiddenmenu.html#hiddenmenu if you want to go that route
[02:38] <awerner32> is there any program that anybody knows of that will over a network keep a networked folder recursively backup a folder on another compuer. that was worded horribly, a program that will make a folder on a server look identical to one on another computer on the network either automatically or with a click to update it
[02:38] <Some_Person> Daverocks: I want GRUB on the partition
[02:38] <Daverocks> Some_Person: right, because that's the only way ubuntu will boot :P
[02:39] <Daverocks> Some_Person: taxman's suggestion is good
[02:39] <Some_Person> taxman: that leaves the timer going, i don't want a countdown
[02:39] <Some_Person> Daverocks: correct
[02:39] <alaQ> revilodraw: it's technically not a difference of 'how fast can I go', but of 'how am I talking to you?'
[02:39] <taxman> but you can shorten the timer. That's right in the config file IIRC
[02:40] <LuitvD> how can I escape from a soft lockup?
[02:40] <LuitvD> or is that impossible?
[02:40] <mrpoundsign> awerner32: rsync over ssh?
[02:40] <revilodraw> alaQ: ok... a little lost, but i think i know what you mean... i am needed by the parentals, so thank you for your help.. bye
[02:40] <LuitvD> is it as irreversible as kernel panic or oops?
[02:40] <awerner32> ok, ssh is perfect thanks
[02:40] <alaQ> revilodraw: glad to help :)
[02:40] <mrpoundsign> awerner32: rsync... it uses ssh
[02:40] <awerner32> no no i understand that
[02:41] <taxman> LuitvD: depends on what's locked. If it's X windows, crtl-alt-backspace may exit X
[02:41] <mrpoundsign> awerner32: cool.
[02:41] <awerner32> i am saying that is a perfect way to do it because the server is already set up for that
[02:41] <Kevin4381> how can I check to see if I have xgl installed?
[02:41] <LuitvD> taxman: soft lockup of CPU#0
[02:41] <aricz> Uhm, how do I get rid of the UNI-support (fonts) in virtual console?
[02:41] <stuart_> i'm using geforce2 MX440, which package should i apt-get?
[02:41] <taxman> LuitvD: you got an error message saying that?
[02:41] <LuitvD> caused by a hanging kernel driver
[02:41] <Daverocks> LuitvD: a soft lockup is pretty much as bad as a hard lockup, i don't think it's easy to reverse
[02:42] <LuitvD> taxman: yes, my dmesg shows that info
[02:42] <Some_Person> !grub

[02:42] <LuitvD> Daverocks: my CPU is getting bloody warm because of the lockup...
[02:42] <LuitvD> Daverocks: guess it is bad...
[02:42] <LuitvD> stupid rt61 drivers
[02:43] <Daverocks> unstable drivers inserted into the kernel = bad :P
[02:43] <radoe> Kevin4381: please start reading at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager

[02:43] <awerner32> ok thank you
[02:48] <dissection> Sometimes when I have several windows of the same application, like a few terminals for differnet things, they all get minimized to the same tab in the taskbar.. How do I prevent that from happening? In windows there's an option like minimize in a group for something like this
[02:48] <LuitvD> these are the dmesg lines produced after loading the rt61 driver: http://pastebin.ca/627594
[02:48] <aricz> Hi, anyone know how to DISABLE UTF-8 in virtual console?
[02:48] <LuitvD> I guess I should try the current CVS version
[02:49] <aricz> my fonts are garbled up here.. strange character
[02:49] <aricz> s
[02:49] <Daverocks> LuitvD: yeah, get those "drivers" out of your kernel asap, lol
[02:49] <erUSUL> LuitvD: you should report it as a bug either in launchpad or here http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/
[02:49] <LuitvD> Daverocks: good thing I already blacklisted it :)
[02:49] <taxman> dissection: I don't know, but did you know terminal can use tabs too? ctrl-shift-T
[02:50] <LuitvD> erUSUL: I have so many things that need to go on launchpad :P
[02:50] <stuart_> eh, i can't cut and paste from xterm?
[02:51] <LuitvD> Daverocks: if I hadn't blacklisted that driver it'd load at startup :P
[02:51] <keenen> I need some ubuntu installing help
[02:51] <Daverocks> LuitvD: heh
[02:51] <taxman> stuart_: you can it's just screwy, use your mouse's right click menu to cut and paste to term
[02:52] <Daverocks> keenen: ask
[02:52] <erUSUL> LuitvD: that's how open source gets better with help from her users ;)
[02:52] <ZombieWerewolf> im running kde and gnome side by side, and in kde i have compiz-fusion and gtk-window-manager  running (probably shouldn't do gtk-window-manager with kde but i do not know what else to use) and the 3d cube isn't working. The hotkeys are ctrl+alt+button1 but it just isn't working. How do I make the cube work?
[02:52] <taxman> keenen: ok, be specific
[02:52] <stuart_> taxman, i'm using xfce, and i can't even rightclick in xterm
[02:52] <jrib> stuart_: or ctrl-shift-c to copy and ctrl-shift-v to paste in a term, or just hilight what you want to copy and use middle click to paste
[02:52] <LuitvD> good thing I have two cores... lockup of CPU#0 doesn't stop CPU#1 from dumping my dmesg :)
[02:52] <ZombieWerewolf> note: all the other special window effects are working
[02:52] <keenen> I am running the ubuntu installer and the screen Faded black and all i see is the mouse
[02:52] <Daverocks> keenen: *faded* black? o_o
[02:52] <keenen> yea
[02:53] <keenen> >.>
[02:53] <keenen> <.<
[02:53] <Daverocks> keenen: uh, at what point in the installer?
[02:53] <stuart_> i can right click from the menu's Terminal, but my own xterm launcher doesnt allow me to right click
[02:53] <dissection> taxman: I don't want tab and I don't want them minimized together either. I want to disable it
[02:53] <keenen> copying files 52%
[02:53] <keenen> with dual boot of windows xp and i am scared it going to mess it up :P if grub is not fully installed
[02:54] <Daverocks> keenen: maybe screensaver? :P
[02:54] <keenen> lol thanks
[02:54] <jrib> dissection: right click on the window list and go to properties iirc
[02:54] <keenen> The screen server didn't go away when i was moving the mouse for a few mins :P
[02:54] <Daverocks> keenen: heh
[02:54] <stuart_> how do i see what commands the menu up tehre is using for apps?
[02:55] <HEP85> keenen: keypress should do then
[02:55] <Daverocks> keenen: also, you _should_ be fine with dual booting, but there's always a lot of anxiety the first time
[02:55] <stuart_> i can't right click on the menu in xfce
[02:55] <keenen> Dual boot works fine on my other PC's :P
[02:55] <keenen> i hope the same on my laptop
[02:55] <stuart_> and how'd i make a launcher for Terminal in xfce without using xterm because xterm doesn't allow me to cut and paste
[02:55] <taxman> dissection: right click on an empty space in the taskbar and select preferences. Check never group
[02:55] <jrib> stuart_: I can right click on "<xubuntu icon> Applications" and get an option to "edit menu"
[02:55] <Daverocks> keenen: ah well you're familiar with the process then
[02:55] <HEP85> keenen: it is very easy to fix xp on dual boot. not so easy to fix ubuntu
[02:55] <Daverocks> HEP85: depends what you stuff up :P
[02:56] <keenen> You think i can run beryl with 64 mb of video ram?
[02:56] <taxman> dissection: the only empty space I had was the far left close to the show desktop icon
[02:56] <Daverocks> keenen: yeah, beryl runs great on even low-end graphics cards
[02:56] <DerangedDingo> I have a quick question: Can anyone tell me what "mcop" is or is an abbreviation of?
[02:56] <eboxnet> hello ppl
[02:56] <Daverocks> keenen: which card?
[02:56] <HEP85> Daverocks: I mean reinstalling grub vs. using the windows xp cd and enter fixmbr in the repair console
[02:56] <keenen> Cool :D
[02:56] <dissection> taxman: I don't have "preferences" and I can't find never group
[02:56] <stuart_> jrib, still doesn't let me see what command Terminal is using
[02:56] <Daverocks> HEP85: in that sense, yeah
[02:56] <jrib> stuart_: xfce4-terminal
[02:56] <stuart_> jrib, woopee! thanks.
[02:56] <DerangedDingo> keenen: I'm running Compiz and have run Beryl on my Intel Integrated 64mb graphics controller from 2003
[02:57] <taxman> dissection: what desktop and ubuntu version are you running?
[02:57] <jrib> stuart_: you're right, I assumed it was like the one in GNOME
[02:57] <radoe> HEP85: its easy to fixup ubuntu to. You need some boot-CD, of course. I made a CD with only only grub on it for such cases.
[02:57] <dissection> taxman: 7.04 with GNOME
[02:58] <keenen> I have the smae card u have but its 2004
[02:58] <ashukmin> Hello.
[02:58] <stuart_> btw, which NVidia package should I use for Gefore2?
[02:58] <keenen> same*
[02:58] <stuart_> i have a feeling id idn't install mine correctly
[02:58] <Newbie_Dude> Where does Ubuntu keep all its fonts? I wanna try copying the "Sans" font into my Wine\Windows\ directory to see if I can get the same font there.
[02:58] <jrib> dissection: right click on the drag bar for the window list then
[02:58] <DerangedDingo> Newbie_Dude: /usr/share/fonts
[02:58] <taxman> dissection: you must not be right clicking in the right spot. Do you get a context menu when you right click on the bottom left of the screen
[02:59] <DerangedDingo> Newbie_Dude: GNOME keeps everything graphically related in /usr
[02:59] <Newbie_Dude> DerangedDingo: thanks!
[02:59] <tannerld> I just installed miro, but I can't play anything in it?
[02:59] <DerangedDingo> Well, Linux in general
[02:59] <dissection> taxman: I get Add to Panel, Properties, Delete this Panel, etc
[02:59] <HEP85> radoe: can't you use the livecd?
[03:00] <keenen> Can i run the burn effect on my intel 64 mb video ram card?
[03:00] <Newbie_Dude> DerangedDingo: bummer, it doesnt actually name the font file after the font name >_<
[03:00] <aricz> Well, bye bye ubuntu, thanks for all the help, but I'm gonna take a trip into the world of debian .. tatua :) Thanks for all the help from this great community. Bom !
[03:00] <taxman> dissection: that's what I get when I click on the top menubar, did you reverse them?
[03:00] <DerangedDingo> Newbie_Dude: that sucks. what about a search of your filesystem?
[03:01] <x_> hello everybody ... who knows how we can have a glass terminal ?!
[03:01] <radoe> HEP85: Grub on CD boots in like 2 seconds, why wait for an entire Live-CD just to fix grub then?
[03:01] <stuart_> hm, i underestimated linux
[03:01] <rdesh> hi
[03:01] <dissection> taxman: Yes but both bars give the same options when I rightclick
[03:01] <stuart_> the more i learn the more it rocks
[03:01] <Newbie_Dude> DerangedDingo: ok i'll search for "sans"
[03:02] <rdesh> is there a speed advantage if i compile my own kernel for ubuntu amd64?
[03:02] <keenen> I backup my grub :P and then i just made a live cd that just runs the commands i made it to do :P
[03:02] <awerner32> when you change the mount options in the gui with gnome does it change fstab or does it do it differently?
[03:02] <dissection> taxman: Its the first time I've seen them grouped. It had never done that before. Now all of a sudden they ungrouped by itself. I don't know how or why this is happening.
[03:02] <taxman> dissection: ok, with a blank taskbar I get that too. The only way I get the menu you need is when clicking very close to the icon on the lower left that minimizes everything to show the desktop
[03:02] <alaQ> Newbie_Dude: try creating a .fonts folder in your homedir and put them there.
[03:02] <DerangedDingo> x_: Open terminal, select "Edit", then "Profiles", then "Edit" in the new window, and go to the "Effects" tab
[03:02] <tego> i setup kubuntu -desktop I SEE MORE PROGRAM  ADD TO ME AND I WANNA KNOW HOW TO USE PROGRAM LIKE NETCUT EXE I CAN SETUP IT EASY  BUT CANT USE
[03:03] <alaQ> Newbie_Dude: IIRC, the X font server searches for fonts in the homedir too.
[03:03] <x_> DeragedDingo   thanks ... i'll check it now :)
[03:03] <keenen> alaQ: is there a font manger program i think i used it before? not sure :P
[03:03] <strabes> tego: You don't have to shout.
[03:03] <DerangedDingo> I have a quick question: Can anyone tell me what "mcop" is or is an abbreviation of? I was boring and installed KDE, and I'm trying to get rid of some configuration files it left over
[03:03] <HEP85> radoe: because you normally don't have grub on cd when you are installing a linux distro for the first time in your live
[03:03] <eBoxNet> lol
[03:03] <keenen> manger*
[03:03] <DerangedDingo> bored*
[03:03] <keenen> manager*
[03:03] <Newbie_Dude> alaQ: actually i'm trying to get the wonderful ubuntu font called "Sans" to work in Wine. But I think the fonts for Ubuntu are different than Windows...
[03:03] <Daverocks> tego: you mean, the netcut on windows that does arp spoofing?
[03:04] <taxman> DerangedDingo: google should be your friend :)
[03:04] <strabes> Newbie_Dude: if they're .ttf they should work
[03:04] <phrontist> how can I list user groups on a system?
[03:04] <DerangedDingo> okie doke
[03:04] <tego> YES DAVEROCKS
[03:04] <keenen> taxman: put that on the title on this chan :D
[03:04] <W9ZEB-Lars> Is there any reason when installing a second USB mouse the performance would completely tank?
[03:04] <eBoxNet> CAPS
[03:04] <strabes> Newbie_Dude: The fonts in ubuntu are .ttf files as well; they should work in windows
[03:04] <Daverocks> tego: well first off all turn off caps lock
[03:04] <dissection> taxman: That worked, thats :D
[03:04] <W9ZEB-Lars> the mouse performance that is.
[03:04] <alaQ> Newbie_Dude: any truetype fonts will work for both.
[03:04] <Daverocks> *of
[03:04] <taxman> dissection: np
[03:04] <tannerld> anybody able to play videos in miiro?
[03:04] <tatters> how do I find out what version of ubuntu I am running?
[03:04] <taxman> keenen: I don't have ops here, but good thought :)
[03:05] <strabes> tatters: system > about ubuntu
[03:05] <dissection> My screenshot: http://www.wotanist.com/Screenshot.png
[03:05] <W9ZEB-Lars> taxman: uname -a might tell you something
[03:05] <W9ZEB-Lars> taxman: sorry, wrong nick
[03:05] <W9ZEB-Lars> tatters: uname -a MIGHT tell you something.
[03:05] <taxman> W9ZEB-Lars: yeah and that doesn't tell you the ubuntu version
[03:05] <michael357> hey if you got disconnected and you are still in a channel
[03:05] <michael357> so that you can't take your own nickname back
[03:05] <taxman> I forgot the command line that does
[03:05] <Daverocks> tego: and for the arp spoofing, you can use very manual tools like arpoison, or easier-to-use ones such as arpspoof (from the dsniff suite), or ettercap
[03:05] <user1__> ugly
[03:06] <michael357> how do you get your nick back?
[03:06] <strabes> michael357: You should register with nickserv so that your nick is protected
[03:06] <taxman> michael357: /msg nickserv ghost username password
[03:06] <eBoxNet> michael357: use ghost command
[03:06] <x_> DerangedDingo thanks friend ... that worked :-)
[03:06] <user1__> how do i post a screenshot?
[03:06] <michael357> it is registered
[03:06] <michael357> ok
[03:06] <W9ZEB-Lars> tatters, taxman: cat /etc/issue
[03:06] <strabes> then you have to /nickserv identify password
[03:06] <W9ZEB-Lars> unless of course you've changed it.
[03:06] <strabes> or /msg nickserv identify password
[03:06] <keenen> Can 75hz warn out ur monitor faster? 60hz make your monitor last longer?
[03:06] <tego> THANKS MAN
[03:06] <radoe> HEP85: You are right, but for *me* grub-on-CD is just right (well, yes, back in 1994 when I installed my first linux system there was no grub at all and fixing booting problems always involved a prepared floppy  ;) )
[03:07] <taxman> strabes: when the nick is still logged in you need to ghost. That's what he was asking
[03:07] <tatters> oh,thnx got it cat /etc/issueUbuntu gutsy (development branch) \n \l
[03:07] <mikerose357> thank you that worked
[03:07] <lachlan> wow so many people :O
[03:07] <taxman> tatters: you probably should be running 7.04 instead
[03:07] <keenen> Can 75hz warn out ur monitor faster? 60hz make your monitor last longer?
[03:07] <strabes> taxman: oh ok cool
[03:07] <keenen> That i was thinking about all the time :P
[03:07] <liquiddoom> keenen: The difference should not be substantial
[03:08] <liquiddoom> keenen: Are you on a CRT?
[03:08] <Kulldor> the human eye has an effective refresh rate of 30Hz anyway
[03:08] <Kulldor> not exactly the same thing tho
[03:08] <genii> keenen Probably not some kind of noticeable difference
[03:08] <keenen> I have a AOC moniter not LED or anything super flat
[03:08] <Arcey> 60 hz on CRT gives me headache in 10 secs
[03:08] <strabes> Kulldor: yeah but if your refresh rate on your monitor sux then it will hurt your eyes, especially on a CRT
[03:08] <HEP85> radoe: yeah. if you often encounter boot problems it would be cool to have grub-on-cd lying around somewhere
[03:08] <tatters> taxman: I am ready for a fresh install so thought I would go out in style and glimpse the future for a while
[03:08] <Kulldor> really no way
[03:09] <lachlan> whats new in .10?
[03:09] <strabes> Kulldor: not "hurt" permanently but it will just not be pleasant to look at
[03:09] <genii> keenen: 60hz when you have fluorescent bulbs makes a strobe effect which causes headaches and sometimes epileptic seizures
[03:09] <taxman> tatters: that's fine but you shouldn't ask questions about the experimental versions in here. :)
[03:09] <keenen> so should i use 70hz?
[03:09] <keenen> 758
[03:09] <keenen> 75*
[03:09] <Kulldor> can you even get monitors to refresh at anything lower than 30hz (has only lcd's)
[03:09] <genii> Arcey: See my comment to keenen about 60hz :)
[03:09] <Arcey> if u are on a crt, and 60 hz hurts ur eyes, try higher values
[03:09] <Kulldor> *60hz
[03:09] <strabes> Kulldor: no
[03:10] <tatters> I did not know it was experimental version untill a moment ago ,this is not my box just brought it
[03:10] <Kulldor> ah k
[03:10] <royel> keenen: whatever refresh you like you should use, it makes no difference to any of us in here
[03:10] <marco> op'
[03:10] <keenen> I did 100hz on my dads HD LED tv and it broke  >.>
[03:10] <genii> keenen 72 or 75 should be fine
[03:10] <marco> i want pussy
[03:10] <Arcey> lol yah
[03:10] <Cplunsford> hey does anyone know how to blacklist a soundcard so that it does not get loaded at all?
[03:10] <Cplunsford> fore some reason Kmix will load my onboard soundcard first sometimes before my soundblaster and I won't get sound
[03:10] <eBoxNet> lol
[03:10] <Cplunsford> Anyone?
[03:10] <liquiddoom> !ffs | marco
[03:10] <ubotu> marco: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:10] <Arcey> u should check the manual of your monitor about max refresh rates
[03:10] <keenen> He didn't know who did it
[03:10] <keenen> or how it happin
[03:10] <dom> hey guys. how do i unmount a swap partition? i am currently using a live cd...
[03:10] <eBoxNet> marco download one
[03:10] <alaQ> Cplunsford: did you set cards with asoundconf?
[03:10] <tatters> didable onboard sound at the BIOS
[03:10] <taxman> tatters: ok, no biggie, just letting you know
[03:10] <marco> hello
[03:10] <radoe> HEP85: I always have one in my notebook carry case ;)
[03:10] <royel> marco: dont be a immature child in here, find some other irc channel to be ugly in
[03:11] <strabes> dom: on the live cd no actual partitions are mounted
[03:11] <Arcey> sudo umount /dev/sd...
[03:11] <marco> dont broke my balls
[03:11] <Cplunsford> alaQ, no I am runing kubuntu and did not mess with much sound configuration
[03:11] <Some_Person> if i add a menu item with alacarte, where does it put the .desktop file?
[03:11] <dom> strabes, but it is. its locked in gparted...
[03:11] <marco> bye
[03:11] <keenen> My laptop ubuntu installer trying to download packages and its not connect to the Internet O_o and it been doing it for a few mins now
[03:11] <strabes> dom: sorry, dunno
[03:11] <Cplunsford> alaQ: but I know the problem is the other soundcard will get loaded first sometimes and the system asusmes thats the one I am using
[03:12] <radoe> dom: swapoff
[03:12] <taxman> Cplunsford: right, so disable it in the bios
[03:12] <keenen> My laptop ubuntu installer trying to download packages and its not connect to the Internet O_o and it been doing it for a few mins now
[03:12] <keenen> how do i fix that :P
[03:12] <strabes> keenen: just let it go for awhile and eventually it will realize that it's not connected. What you should have done is unplugged your internet cord before you started the installer
[03:12] <taxman> keenen: don't try to dl packages? :)
[03:12] <alaQ> Cplunsford: you can specify which sound card to use.  In a terminal, type 'asoundconf list' to get the names of the cards, and 'asoundconf set-default-card name' to set the card as default
[03:12] <dom> radoe, nice... didnt see it ;)
[03:12] <strabes> keenen: are you behind a proxy or something?
[03:12] <Newbie_Dude> Can you guys recommend a Download Manager/Resumer? I tried Multiget but it seems really buggy.
[03:12] <gioeleb> hello
[03:12] <keenen> Fixed it :D i hit skip
[03:12] <Cplunsford> taxman, it is! linux tends to ignore my bios settings
[03:12] <Daverocks> Newbie_Dude: kget in kde
[03:12] <strabes> Newbie_Dude: do you use firefox? Use flashgot or downthemall. I recommend the latter
[03:13] <Cplunsford> alaQ let me try that
[03:13] <lachlan> how do i get java 1.5?
[03:13] <keenen> I hate proxy :P it to slow
[03:13] <gioeleb> does anybody remember the name of a java application for remote administration/supervision of machines presented on the ubuntu planet aggregator?
[03:13] <lachlan> vnc?
[03:13] <lachlan> ^_^
[03:14] <x_> is that posible to use windows fonts in linux ?! is yes , how ?!
[03:14] <alaQ> lachlan: sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre
[03:14] <leszek> cu @ all
[03:14] <nomad111> has anyone installed compiz fusion
[03:14] <Cplunsford> i assume that would go 'asoundconf set-default-card Audigy2
[03:14] <lachlan> thank you ^_^
[03:14] <keenen> My dad took back his $3,000 LED hv tv that i broke >.>
[03:14] <dissection> ;D
[03:14] <keenen> hd*
[03:14] <alaQ> Cplunsford: yeah, provided that's the card you want to use.
[03:14] <eBoxNet> wine-doors?
[03:14] <ufuntu> hello does anyone knows how can i find my su passwd? i forgot it...
[03:14] <x_> Cplunsford  i have same problem with Audiogy 2 zs plotonium Pro
[03:15] <Daverocks> x_: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[03:15] <Daverocks> x_: (for your font question)
[03:15] <derenrich> ufuntu: can you sudo?
[03:15] <ufuntu> yes
[03:15] <MattJ> nomad111, Join #ubuntu-effects
[03:15] <strabes> x_: just install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:15] <Cplunsford> X_ same card minus the pro
[03:15] <x_> Daverocks .. ok thanks :)
[03:15] <alaQ> Cplunsford: now, follow with a 'sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart' and things should be fine.
[03:15] <nomad111> thx
[03:15] <Cplunsford> my sound is working atm
[03:15] <derenrich> ufuntu: can't you use passwd to change the root password then?
[03:16] <Cplunsford> its bizzar, intermittenly would pick a soundcard t oboot with
[03:16] <lachlan> is ubuntu-effects for beryl and what not?
[03:16] <ufuntu> sudo passwd?
[03:16] <taxman> ufuntu: sudo passwd root
[03:16] <derenrich> sudo passwd root
[03:16] <derenrich> yeah
  how ?!
[03:16] <ufuntu> yeah :))
[03:16] <ufuntu> thnx derenrich :))
[03:16] <derenrich> ufuntu: np
[03:16] <strabes> x_: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras or use synaptic to search for it
[03:16] <alaQ> Cplunsford: I've heard of the same problem happening.  I'm on my laptop, and swap in a PCMCIA Audigy2 ZS intermittently, so I'm well aquainted with asoundconf :)
[03:17] <MrTsunami> lachlan: essentially
[03:17] <strabes> x_: using the terminal is much better/faster than using a GUI after you get used to it. trust me.
[03:17] <strabes> x_: especially for doing simple things like installing programs from the repositories.
[03:17] <HEP85> derenrich: why would you want to do that?
[03:17] <HEP85> derenrich: you can use "sudo -s" to become root
[03:18] <dissection> Does Linux have something to check the microphone?
[03:18] <derenrich> derenrich: ufuntu had set a password for root that she had lost, i was telling her how to reset it
[03:18] <keenen> When i install grub gfxboot and added the splash code in the menu.list file do i type in grub-install sda1?
[03:18] <x_> strabes     ... ok .. i try it ... i used linux just for 14 hour
[03:18] <PriceChild> derenrich, ubuntu doesn't set a root password
[03:18] <strabes> x_: ok, good luck. I hope you like it.
[03:18] <derenrich> )and I just sent a message to myself...wow_
[03:18] <derenrich> PriceChild: I thought it just doesn't by default
[03:19] <keenen> When i install grub gfxboot and added the splash code in the menu.list file do i type in grub-install sda1?
[03:19] <derenrich> PriceChild: I believe you can set one
[03:19] <Newbie_Dude> strabes: thanks i'll try DownTHemAll, was hoping for one not integrated to Firefox but it seems a good candidate
[03:19] <PriceChild> derenrich, you can.... but you said "ubuntu had set a password for root"
[03:19] <LuitvD> allright, now it works... but not thanks to the network-manager... had to do some manual-configuration
[03:19] <derenrich> PriceChild: well I am not fully awake yet
[03:19] <derenrich> PriceChild: my mistake
[03:19] <lachlan> theres a 1000 people here :O
[03:19] <PriceChild> :)
[03:19] <LuitvD> cvs version of rt2x00 drivers works well
[03:20] <taxman> PriceChild: s/he probably just assumed since s/he couldn't su
[03:20] <Cplunsford> thanks alaQ somehow I think im good to go now lol
[03:20] <jerrcs> hello all, I wanted to get your feedback on a php script I made.... http://jerrcs.net/ubuntu?s=1.0 -- it grabs the mirror list and checks for the fastest mirror
[03:20] <Kevin4381> is there a way to password protect folders in /home/username/ ?
[03:20] <jerrcs> i was thinking of making it public but im not sure how well it works yet
[03:21] <lachlan> can i ask about compiz fusion because no one is alive at effects
[03:21] <alaQ> Cplunsford: well, if things still are shaky, just come back and let me know. :)
[03:21] <royel> PriceChild: actually he did NOT say ubuntu had set a password, he said uFuntu, the user name that was asking for help with her lost root passwd
[03:21] <ShackJack> lachlan: You can try #compiz-fusion as well...
[03:21] <lachlan> ok
[03:21] <derenrich> Kevin4381: yes
[03:22] <taxman> Kevin4381: use linux file permissions for that. If the permission are only set to allow the user to view then you're set
[03:22] <PriceChild> royel, my mistake then, i assumed that was a typo
[03:22] <derenrich> Kevin4381: What I do is only give root rights to view the folder
[03:22] <royel> PriceChild: really, the whole root thing policing you guys constantly do here annoys me, it should be a choice to have root and you guys shouldn't react in a way that makes people feel like criminals for using root.
[03:22] <Kevin4381> thanks
[03:23] <ShackJack> Hi all - I have a notebook... that goes to a blank screen whenever I log out (to return to gdm login screen) or try to so go runlevel 1... Trying to restart X (CTRL-ALT-BKSPACE) or drop to a command line does nothing and I have to power down... Any suggestions?
[03:23] <genii> royel I agree that a lot of people get too militant about it LOL
[03:23] <alaQ> royel: there's a way to enable root, but sudo makes a lot more sense, because you can actively limit who can do what in /etc/sudoers
[03:23] <PriceChild> royel, Wearing my ubuntu cloak etc. I represent Ubuntu. And Ubuntu's policy is that you don't use root. "/msg ubotu sudo" for the rational behind it.
[03:23] <x_> strabes  with that command , i installed SUN JAVA ... not Sound Card   !!!!
[03:23] <taxman> derenrich: if only that user can view the files, that's basically pw protected, no?
[03:25] <derenrich> taxman: True, but I make it root because any suer with root acess could just change the permissions in any case and then look at it
[03:25] <royel> genii: yeah, I think what Ubuntu has done is great, far too many people would use it too much, but some people (myself included)know when to use it properly.
[03:25] <anel> hi evebody!
[03:25] <taxman> derenrich: ahh, no I see what you mean. If you're logged in and want another layer of password your method works
[03:25] <x_> anel    hi :-)
[03:25] <awerner32_> ok i am ok i am trying to reformat an extra drive i have in my computer, with gparted i can deleted the old partition but when it goes to create the new one nautilus or something for some reason mounts the empty partition and then gparted can no longer partition it, how can i make whatever is mounting it stop, i tried changing the nautilus mounting options and fstab
[03:25] <naughtykid001> Hi, I'm Sean from My
[03:25] <lachlan> anel :P
[03:25] <anel> somebody speak`s in russian?
[03:25] <x_> niet
[03:25] <MrTsunami> !ru | anel
[03:26] <ubotu> anel:    #ubuntu-ru       /  Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke
[03:26] <lachlan> :O
[03:26] <dissection> wot
[03:26] <royel> PriceChild: I understand your position, and the policy around it, but it is not a crime to have root, you guys react as if anyone using root is breaking a law.
[03:26] <derenrich> derenrich: Right, if you had many users on a system your method is better. I always assume people have my setup
[03:26] <taxman> wow, uboto knows Russian!
[03:26] <derenrich> (and i sent myself a message again)
[03:26] <nielsbosworth> I get the error Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server. I'm trying to start firestarter (firewall) as root, without entering a password for sudo. and I've added the line %admin ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/firestarter to sudoers
[03:26] <ShackJack> anel: /join #ubuntu-ru
[03:26] <PriceChild> rlyh
 thx
[03:26] <naughtykid001> just running ubuntu's live cd, how do I check if everything is running well?
[03:26] <MrTsunami> taxman: 'know' in the loosest possible sense :)
[03:26] <royel> PriceChild: I am not against the policy Ubuntu has at all, but I am simply against the reaction I see far too many people in here take.
[03:27] <taxman> MrTsunami: heh
[03:27] <taxman> naughtykid001: just run stuff, lots of stuff
[03:27] <PriceChild> royel, I don't reject it... and I understand a lot of people prefer it, and its their choice. However when someone is unsure of where they are... not quite understanding what's going on... I really recommend they use sudo before they're informed enough to make their own choice.
[03:27] <ShackJack> naughtykid001: Check sound, wirelss, printers, etc.. if they work - it's all good..
[03:27] <naughtykid001> games?
[03:27] <royel> PriceChild: anyhow, I've gone on too long an it's a bit off-topic, so lets enjoy other things for a while.
[03:27] <alaQ> naughtykid001: is there any smoke/fire/warning lights?  You should be all right. :)
[03:27] <PriceChild> indeed
[03:27] <ShackJack> Hi all - I have a notebook... that goes to a blank screen whenever I log out (to return to gdm login screen) or try to so go runlevel 1... Trying to restart X (CTRL-ALT-BKSPACE) or drop to a command line does nothing and I have to power down... Any suggestions?
[03:28] <MrTsunami> as long as nothing explodes, one would assume, alaQ ;)
[03:28] <naughtykid001> alaQ: LoL, luckily there isn't
[03:28] <alaQ> MrTsunami: Don't joke about that!  I've had it happen.
[03:28] <MrTsunami> mmm as have I
[03:29] <naughtykid001> ShackJack: no printer, no wireless, sound is good
[03:29] <alaQ> MrTsunami: Fried a mobo while rendering a scene in povray.  Still not quite sure how. :)
[03:29] <naughtykid001> Checking with the hard disk though..
[03:29] <royel> PriceChild: One last note, I agree with what you just said, I dont think uFuntu needs to be using root :)  But the reaction to derenrich is what bothered me more I guess, seems he was scolded for trying to help.
[03:29] <x_> how i can install plugin for RM and WMA stream radios ?!
[03:29] <genii> ShackJack: You have a swap space large enough to hold all the ram contents when it wants to auto-sleep?
[03:29] <naughtykid001> it seems to detect my harddisk, but I can't access it?
[03:30] <ShackJack> genii: Yep, I beleive so 1.5 or 2x RAM
[03:30] <nielsbosworth> I would like to run 'sudo firestarter' and not be prompted for at password. I've read a lot of support on the forums, but it won't work.
[03:30] <ShackJack> genii: It shouldn't be trying to go to sleep though - I'm just choosing log out (to go back to loging screen) or sudo init 1 from command line and screen goes blank...
[03:31] <ShackJack> nielsbosworth: Just curious, do you have a firewall?
[03:31] <nielsbosworth> ShackJack: Nothing besides firestarter. I'm NAT'ed, but not firewalled
[03:31] <genii> ShackJack: OK, that was just my initial hunch :) init 1 going blank dunno, but logout may be some issue with X restart
[03:32] <vieirar> Hi I have Feisty up and running. I also installed Firestarter. My issue is I put in a policy to allow <IP_ADDRESS>/22 but it is not working.
[03:33] <vieirar> I also joined Feisty to the AD Domain. However, I cannot log in unless firestarter is shutdown. Since it blocks me from getting a Kerborose ticket and authenitcating to the domain.
[03:33] <ShackJack> nielsbosworth: I wonder if that trick used to login to keyring automatically would work for Firestarter - is it trying to access your keyring?
[03:33] <gilo2> Two things..., anyone know of a GUI for configuring IPSec and are there any other opensource applications that are recommended over wine for running windows apps?
[03:33] <Happu> -
[03:33] <x_> how i can install RealPlayer on 7.07 ?!
[03:33] <x_> i mean 7.04
[03:33] <Jordan_U> ShackJack, No
[03:34] <ShackJack> gilo2: Win'es pretyt much it, but you can run WMWare to run full-fledged Windows OS (or others) inside your Ubutnutu
[03:34] <derenrich> gilo2: there are commerical products that are better than wine in some instances
[03:34] <ShackJack> Jordan_U: :)
[03:34] <vieirar> gilo2, YOu can install Vmware-Server and run Windows in a virtual machine.
[03:34] <taxman> naughtykid001: it doesn't mount anything on the hd by defuault. Doubleclick on a partition and you should be able to see files. NTFS partitions will mount ro by default
[03:34] <nielsbosworth> ShackJack: I've added a new line to /etc/sudoers reading %admin ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/firestarter, but then firestarter can't open display and won't start
[03:34] <vieirar> gilo2, What apps are you trying to run that Wine does not work with?
[03:35] <x_> nielsbosworth  hej med dig
[03:35] <gilo2> everyone is recommending vmware.... am I better running windows or linux as the host operating system?  I'm guessing linux?
[03:35] <nielsbosworth> x_ hej
[03:35] <ShackJack> gilo2: Linux FTW!
[03:35] <nielsbosworth> x_: hej
[03:35] <derenrich> gilo2: if all of your apps are going to be windows, windows, in reality, would be a better bet
[03:36] <vieirar> gilo2, Depends what you plan on using most. If you plan on running more windows apps then Windows as the host. If more linux apps then linux as the host.
[03:36] <taxman> x_: did you check the restricted formats page on the wiki?
[03:36] <gilo2> vieirar I'm actually interested in running a game called EVE (which I probably should just dual boot) but I wanted to try to run it under linux.
[03:36] <nielsbosworth> x_: kender vi hinanden?
[03:36] <ShackJack> nielsbosworth: Eeeg... that *should* work... I only had it installed breifly and I saw my Router takes care of firewalling...
[03:36] <x_> i need some help .... i need some software for RM (real player) and WMA ( windows media player) ... for stream radios
[03:36] <vieirar> gilo2, Vmware does not support 3d apps so you would need to run Windows as the host.
[03:36] <naughtykid001> taxman: I double click the icon, and there's pop up message showing "unable to mount the selected volume"
[03:36] <x_> nielsbosworth nej kun jeg vil sige hej  :-)
[03:37] <Jordan_U> x_, for WMA you may need w32codecs
[03:37] <x_> taxman   what's u mean ?!
[03:37] <vieirar> gilo2, 3D support is in the works and can work but it is not supported and does not work great.
[03:37] <m1r> hi all
[03:37] <ShackJack> !hi | m1r
[03:37] <ubotu> m1r: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[03:37] <taxman> naughtykid001: huh. bummer
[03:37] <taxman> x_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[03:37] <x_> jordan_U i tried linux just 14 hour ... can u tell me step by step ?!:-)
[03:37] <gilo2> okay, so probably combo of wine and dual boot for now.  How about the other question... IPSec GUI?  been looking all over the place and can't find one.
[03:37] <vieirar> gilo2, To run windows games in linux try Cedga. It costs only $15 or you can get the source and compile yourself. I recommend you pay the 15
[03:38] <nielsbosworth> ShackJack: It seems like the sudo works, but for some reason it changes the environment. When i run firestarter and enter the password there is no problem. I'll try reading about the keyring thing.
[03:38] <CheesyMonkey> gilo2, EveOnline?
[03:38] <nielsbosworth> x_: men hvordan vidste du at jeg var dansker? ;-)
[03:38] <gilo2> vieirar cedega?  I will look into it.. thanks.
[03:38] <vieirar> gilo2, Cedga has improved support for DX
[03:38] <gilo2> CheesyMonkey Yes eveonline
[03:38] <x_> Jordan_U what i should type in terminal for that ?!
[03:38] <zerotrace> Would anybody be interested in buying a Proliant DL320 dual 1GHz Pentium 3? We're looking for $150+shipping.
[03:38] <anandanbu> where can i get a package of the Lucida fonts for the Ubuntu 7.04
[03:38] <CheesyMonkey> gilo2, Last time i checked that was the top rated for running under WINE
[03:38] <Jordan_U> x_, Look at the link taxman gave
[03:38] <x_> nielsbosworth    fra dit navn :-)
[03:38] <HEP85> cedega costs money
[03:38] <ShackJack> nielsbosworth: No I don't think F/S accesses keyring, and I dunno if there's option in FS to enter p/w automatically - seems weird it would prompt you... You know you don't have to start firestarter as root, I don't think - maybe that's the issue...
[03:39] <skulrid> hi
[03:39] <derenrich> hey
[03:39] <vieirar> Yes Cedega cost but it is worth it. Unless you run wine beta
[03:39] <gilo2> cheesymonkey you're saying eve does work under wine?
[03:39] <darkempress> !flash
[03:39] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[03:39] <CheesyMonkey> gilo2, Last time I looked yes, ill look
[03:39] <skulrid> im using a ubuntu CD to load my desktop. all my files are gone where can I find them_
[03:39] <gilo2> cheesymonkey I can do it, thanks.
[03:39] <naughtykid001> taxman: I'm running live CD, is there anything to do with it?
[03:39] <ShackJack> anandanbu: You don't need a package per se, If you have the ttf files or whatever, dunp them in a .fonts directory in your /home/username folder
[03:40] <jhattu> Could someone help me with OOo calc. My Calc is missing an important command called MROUND. How could I get it working?
[03:40] <nielsbosworth> ShackJack: if i try to run firestarter without, it asks for root privileges ;-)
[03:40] <CheesyMonkey> gilo2, http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=6278
[03:40] <vieirar> Cedega cost a whole $5 month and requires only 3 months This includes support and ability to vote on game ports
[03:40] <MrTsunami> skulrid: /media/ folder
[03:40] <anandanbu> shackjack: where can i get those fonts
[03:40] <Jordan_U> skule, What do you mean by "gone" do you just need to know how to mount your / partition?
[03:40] <ShackJack> nielsbosworth: Sot NAT isn't behind any kind of hardware firewall (like a router or whatever)?
[03:40] <Newbie_Dude> My monitor I think is supposed to be 60 Hz at 1280x1024, but in the "Screen Resolution" it only allows me 50 Hz and 56 Hz ??? Is that bad ???
[03:40] <gilo2> so No one knows of a GUI for IPSec configuration?  I'm wanting something sorta of like a VPN branch to branch for tunnel mode and the ability to do machine to machine for transport mode.
[03:40] <vieirar> nielsbosworth, Are you doing $sudo firestarter
[03:41] <royel> Newbie_Dude: on a LCD it makes no difference
[03:41] <ep2011> I am having a problem with gmail notify. It is showing a thin white strip instead of the usual popup, and it goes from the bottom of my screen to the top. Any ideas why? Any alternatives?
[03:41] <skulrid> Jordan_U gone, i mean I had all my files on my desktop now it is empty and I dont know where to find them
[03:41] <taxman> naughtykid001: no, the livecd should be able to mount it just fine. What type of partition is it?
[03:41] <nielsbosworth> vieirar: yes
[03:41] <Newbie_Dude> royel: yes i have an LCD, so I don't have to worry about refresh rate?
[03:41] <taxman> gilo2: I'd be surprised if there's a gui for that
[03:41] <vieirar> nielsbosworth, what do you get after that command?
[03:41] <Jordan_U> skulrid, You files shouldn't be on the desktop of the LiveCD, or do you mean that they are gone when you boot normally?
[03:42] <royel> Newbie_Dude: no, move on, it won't cause any ill effects.
[03:42] <gilo2> taxman I hate to say it, but windows is so much easier for configuring IPSec... racoon just isn't the most friendly app.
[03:42] <nielsbosworth> ShackJack: Yes. there is a router between me and the internets, but I am open to anyone on the same LAN
[03:42] <skulrid> oh I just found them... Home/Media/disk1
[03:42] <Newbie_Dude> royel: thanks :)
[03:42] <ShackJack> nielsbosworth: Ah, I see...
[03:42] <skulrid> a minute ago it wouldnt open lol
[03:42] <naughtykid001> taxman: forget which one, NTFS should be
[03:42] <nielsbosworth> vieirar: I get %admin ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/firestarter
[03:43] <taxman> gilo2: It could be, Linux isn't perfect :)
[03:43] <zdzichu_> how to skip raid (mdadm) autostart when booting from livecd?
[03:43] <royel> Newbie_Dude: my panels show 50hz under linux as well, I don't know for sure why that number comes up, but the panels should be locked at 60hz regardless, dont think the driver can change it.
[03:43] <nielsbosworth> ShackJack: I use different networks at school, friends dorms and so on, otherwise I probably wouldn't bother setting up the firewall.
[03:43] <Jordan_U> zdzichu_, The LiveCD installer does not support RAID if you are trying to install
[03:44] <nielsbosworth> vieirar: wrong paste - sorry
[03:44] <zdzichu_> Jordan_U: no, I'm booting from 6.06 Desktop CD in recovery purposes
[03:44] <nielsbosworth> vieirar: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
[03:44] <Toma-> Whats the lightest on memory Ubuntu based distro?
[03:44] <zdzichu_> Jordan_U: init script autostarts raid devices, I want to skip this
[03:44] <ramanK> Why the date of my PC automatically changes every 5 minuts?!!!
[03:44] <jhattu> Could someone help me with OOo calc. My Calc is missing an important command called MROUND. How could I get it working or installed? I should have all the needed packages installed but the command is still missing...
[03:45] <ramanK> HELP ME:Why the date of my PC automatically changes every 5 minuts?!!!
[03:45] <taxman> Toma-: fluxbuntu I think, but it's not official. For official Xubuntu is it
[03:45] <skulrid> Jordan_U now im trying to copy some files to a backup partition I have, but some files it wont let me copy it says I dont have permition to read it, why is it so_
[03:45] <Toma-> taxman: hmm never thought out fluxbuntu. thanks
[03:45] <ramanK> HELP ME:Why the date of my PC automatically changes every 5 minuts to the 2008?!!!
[03:45] <Meyvn> in Synaptic Package Manager, what does the Installed (auto-removable) packages mean, are those packages without any other depencies and safe to remove?
[03:46] <ShackJack> ramanK: Are you near a wormhole :P
[03:46] <cnoi> somebody in here know how to connect a ps3 sixaxis controller via bluetooth?
[03:46] <steven_> i've 2 PCs connected via a crossed cable, ive installed dnsmasq on one of these and configured eth0 for static ip, on the other i've configured eth0 for dhcp lease, but it doesn't work, i receive no dhcp offers
[03:46] <Jordan_U> skulrid, Because you they aren't owned by the liveCD user and are set not to be viewable by other users, you can copy them as root though
[03:46] <vieirar> nielsbosworth, I assume you are a member of the admin group
[03:46] <genii> steven_: You need dhcp3-server
[03:47] <steven_> genii, i'm using dnsmasq as dhcp server
[03:47] <skulrid> how? sory my ignorance..
[03:47] <ramanK> ShackJack: what can I do? I don't see a unusual  thing in my PC!
[03:48] <ShackJack> ramanK: Hee hee I dunno - just being wise -- check time/date settings, make sure they're not automatically syncing and set to right time, etc...
[03:48] <cnoi> somebody in here know how to connect a ps3 sixaxis controller via bluetooth?
[03:48] <genii> steven_: I don't use that one normally. But there should be a conf file i imagine
[03:48] <nielsbosworth> vieirar: correct. To me it seems like the entry in sudo is working, but for some reason the environment is different after the change in sudoers. I've tried various fixes from google  for this error, but Nothing has worked so far
[03:48] <skulrid> Jordan_U how can I do that?
[03:49] <steven_> yes, i edited the dhcp-range option, the dhcp server is listening on udp port 67
[03:49] <naughtykid001> taxman: yap, I opened the terminal already
[03:50] <vieirar> Could you start firestarter before the change in sudoers? Looks like the  only change you made was to allow firestarter to start with root privilege without giving a password
[03:50] <Jordan_U> skulrid, sudo cp /file/to/be/copied /where/it/should/go/
[03:50] <vieirar> nielsbosworth, Could you start firestarter before the change in sudoers? Looks like the  only change you made was to allow firestarter to start with root privilege without giving a password
[03:50] <darkempress> how do i find out how much room is on a hard drive?
[03:50] <Moduliz0r> hi
[03:50] <Moduliz0r> if I am going to reinstall windows how would I go about re-installing GRUB?
[03:50] <skulrid> Jordan_U rigth, and what pass should I type.._
[03:50] <vieirar> DarkED, df -h
[03:50] <Jordan_U> !grub > Moduliz0r
[03:51] <darkempress> !hard drive
[03:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hard drive - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:51] <Moduliz0r> -thanks
[03:51] <Jordan_U> skulrid, It won't ask for one on the liveCD
[03:51] <Jordan_U> Moduliz0r, np
[03:51] <skulrid> oh thnks
[03:51] <vieirar> darkempress, df -h or Accessories => Disk analyzer
[03:51] <steven_> genii:  yes, i edited the dhcp-range option, the dhcp server is listening on udp port 67
[03:51] <ShackJack> darkempress: Or, you can open you system mointor and one of the tabs will tell you (under Admin menu)
[03:51] <genii> steven_: Is it latched onto the staic IP of the server as well? eg: listen-address=<IP_ADDRESS>   <-- changed to your IP
[03:52] <steven_> genii:  yes, i edited the dhcp-range option, the dhcp server is listening on udp port 67
[03:52] <steven_> genii: sorry :P uhm no it isnt should i add this line?
[03:52] <vieirar> System Analyzer is the best. One of the great Linux Tools.
[03:52] <genii> steven_: In the dnsmasq.conf , yes
[03:53] <skulrid> Jordan_U it says cp: omitting directory `/media/disk-1/home/nuno/Desktop/trabalhos' and doesent copy anything att all
[03:53] <Otacon22> how can i flush up dnsttl cache?
[03:53] <genii> steven_:  Then you need to of course: sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart      to make it take effect
[03:54] <taime1> every OTHER time i boot, i have sound... why is this?
[03:54] <Jordan_U> skule, use cp -r for directories
[03:54] <nielsbosworth> vieirar: Yes. if I don't change sudoers firestarter starts without a hitch, but requires a password (firestarter requires root privileges). I would like to get rid of the password prompt, so I can let firestarter run at startup
[03:54] <Jordan_U> taime1, Is it repeatably every other time or just 50/50 chance?
[03:55] <magic_ninja> !getty
[03:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about getty - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:55] <steven_> genii: nothing changed
[03:55] <nielsbosworth> vieirar: this Is what I don't understand - both before and after the change, firestarter runs as root - only change is whether I have to input the password
[03:55] <vieirar> nielsbosworth, Firestarter does run at startup as a daemon. So you want to login and have the gui start also
[03:56] <genii> steven_: Did you release/renew on the client?
[03:56] <genii> work, afk 2-3 mins
[03:56] <steven_> genii: yes: ifup eth0 No "DHCPOFFERS received.

[03:57] <ep2011> I am having a problem with gmail notify. It is showing a thin white strip instead of the usual popup, and it goes from the bottom of my screen to the top. Any ideas why? Any alternatives?
[03:57] <taime1> jordan_u: 50/50 chance
[03:57] <vieirar> nielsbosworth, look in /etc/rc2.d/
[03:57] <Arso> is gain recommended as an irc client?
[03:57] <nielsbosworth> vieirar: if the service runs as a daemon I don't need the gui

[03:58] <alaQ> Arso: you can use it, but some people prefer others.  I use Konversation(kde-based)
[03:58] <vieirar> nielsbosworth, S is start the numbers state when and the name is the service to start
[03:58] <vieirar> nielsbosworth, rc2.d is the session # is rc3 rc4 rc1 etc....
[03:58] <alaQ> Arso: a common one for Gnome-based environments is x-chat
[03:58] <steven_> !pastebin
[03:58] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[03:58] <Jordan_U> taime1, That could be possible, do you know what the module is for the card that you *don't* want to use?
[03:58] <nielsbosworth> vieirar: S20firestarter is there :-). So i only need the GUI if I want to change the firewall rules
[03:59] <skulrid> Jordan_U and when it says> cp: cannot create directory `/media/disk/Documents and Settings/Nuno/Ambiente de trabalho/UBUNTU BACKUP': Read-only file system ??
[03:59] <vieirar> nielsbosworth, K is to kill a service
[03:59] <taime1> no...
[03:59] <taime1> cuz its onboard that i dont want..
[03:59] <nielsbosworth> vieirar: meant that as a question :-)
[03:59] <Jordan_U> taime1, And have you tried seeing if the other is outputting sound when the one you want isn't working?
[03:59] <vieirar> nielsbosworth, Correct.
[03:59] <Arso> umm, how do install my nvidia drivers :S
[03:59] <brainiac8008> hi.  I have a dual boot of Ubuntu 7.04 and Windows XP.  Sometimes, when I start up my computer, GRUB appears, and I select the Ubuntu boot option, it doesn't say in the top left, "Starting Up... Loading, Please Wait."  Ubuntu then starts up as normal until my desktop comes up.  The wireless internet program doesn't connect to the internet automatically like I set it to and my sticky notes don't come up.  If I cli
[03:59] <nielsbosworth> vieirar: Perfect. Thanks a lot for your help.
[04:00] <vieirar> nielsbosworth, To test if it is working you can turn on ICMP filtering then try and ping something it will not let you until you stop firestarter
[04:00] <BlueStorm> Nitro tha CiMien
[04:00] <ShackJack> Hi all - I have a notebook... that goes to a blank screen whenever I log out (to return to gdm login screen) or try to so go runlevel 1... Trying to restart X (CTRL-ALT-BKSPACE) or drop to a command line does nothing and I have to power down... Any suggestions?
[04:00] <vikku> hi .....how can i add dns ip address for my ISP in Ubuntu ?
[04:00] <Jordan_U> skulrid, Are you backing up to an NTFS partition?
[04:00] <nielsbosworth> vieirar: Ok.
[04:00] <taime1> jordan_u: yeah, its always just one or the other
[04:00] <Materials> could anyone tell me what package i need to use opengl libraries and the include and linking directories i need to use with g++?
[04:00] <alaQ> !nvidia > Arso
[04:01] <vieirar> nielsbosworth, All S are services you are running you can clean up what service run looking in there or using sysv-rc-conf
[04:01] <skulrid> Jordan_U yes, thers no other way i can get them later...*cause I cant load ubuntu*
[04:01] <Jordan_U> taime1, try setting the default card with asoundconf
[04:01] <nielsbosworth> vieirar: thanks
[04:01] <taime1> asoundconf is the command?
[04:01] <Jordan_U> skulrid, There is an ext driver for windows
[04:01] <Arso> alaQ , oh thnx, i didnt see the link at the bottom when i first visisted that link
[04:02] <alaQ> Arso: no prob :)
[04:02] <vikku> how can i add dns ip address for my ISP in Ubuntu ?
[04:02] <skulrid> Jordan_U what do you mean_
[04:02] <genii> Back
[04:02] <Jordan_U> skulrid, http://fs-driver.org/ that will let you read and write to your Ubuntu partition from windows
[04:03] <genii> steven_: Well I'm out of immediate ideas then. As I said, I usually use dhcp3-server so not overly familiar with the insides of dnsmasq
[04:03] <supremesonic> anyone have a idea of when firefox 3 will be release for ubuntu as stable ?
[04:03] <ShackJack> taime1: Just FYI, #alsa has it's own dedicated channel where you can chat with the sound geeks...
[04:03] <Jordan_U> skulrid, If you still want to copy the files over you will need to mount your windows partition with ntfs-3g
[04:03] <taime1> thanks shack
[04:03] <steven_> genii: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30542/ <--- my config
[04:03] <skulrid> Jordan_U you mean that from windows directly I can get my files stored in ubuntu_
[04:04] <MarcN> vikku: by default ubuntu will ask for an ip address.  What are you trying to do?
[04:04] <royel> vikku: edit your /etc/resolv.conf  > nameserver <IP>
[04:04] <genii> steven_: OK I'll take a look
[04:04] <Jordan_U> skulrid, Yes
[04:04] <steven_> genii: tnx
[04:04] <skulrid> nice
[04:04] <zloc> can anyone help me with a swapping problem with multiple usb sound cards?
[04:05] <vikku> MarcN:   I installed bind packages and to uypdate the deb packages .... i need to put my ISP's address in serain file which i dont know abt .....
[04:05] <vieirar> vikku, You can also do it via System => Administration => Network
[04:05] <Arso> alaQ , i installed the nvidia restricted driver, and rebooted, but i still cant get the native resolution, and the instructions on FixVideoResolutionHowto arent clear for me (this is my first day with ubuntu)
[04:05] <Jordan_U> taime1, asoundconf set-default-card
[04:05] <GSMX> Is xgl/compiz compatible with feisty?
[04:05] <MarcN> vikku: bind9 is for running your own DNS name server, something most people don't need to do.
[04:05] <taime1> yes
[04:05] <Jordan_U> taime1, asoundconf list to tell what the card is called
[04:05] <taime1> okat
[04:05] <taime1> okay*
[04:05] <vieirar> GSMX, Yes along with Beryl and Compiz-Fusion
[04:05] <Jordan_U> GSMX, Yes
[04:05] <vikku> vieirar: I still dont have desktop installed !!!  how would i do that
[04:05] <alaQ> Arso: ok, I'll try to walk you through it.
[04:06] <GSMX> Ok
[04:06] <GSMX> tanks
[04:06] <royel> vikku: edit your /etc/resolv.conf  > nameserver <IP>
[04:06] <GSMX> *thanks
[04:06] <vieirar> vikku, No desktop yes then as royel said
[04:06] <Arso> alaQ thank you :), ill try one last thing, if it doesnt work, i'll let u know
[04:06] <Jordan_U> GSMX, If you don't have an ATI card you can enable it without even installing anything
[04:06] <vieirar> vikku, Your not using DHCP?
[04:06] <mpech> re
[04:06] <Jordan_U> GSMX, System -> Preferences -> Desktop Effects
[04:07] <mpech> question
[04:07] <vikku> YEs iam using DHCP too ..... i mean it gets automatically assigned ....a private ip ie 192.168.x.x
[04:07] <mpech> i move icon for firefox from main menu to desktop and it appears in desktop in HUGE size
[04:07] <mpech> ubuntu 7.04
[04:07] <alaQ> Arso: what's the desired resolution?
[04:07] <Arso> alaQ : 1440x900
[04:07] <alaQ> Arso: ah.  Laptop, huh?
[04:08] <Arso> alaQ: and freshrate : 75
[04:08] <Jordan_U> mpech, How huge?
[04:08] <Pici> vikku: If you are using dhcp, add a line to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf that says: prepend domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>  or whatever your dns addresses are.
[04:08] <Arso> alaQ: no, just a 19inch widescreen lcd
[04:08] <steven_> mpech: right click stretch icon / restore size
[04:08] <skulrid> Jordan_U i think my partition is EXT3, do I have to do somthing on ubuntu first before going to windows?
[04:08] <alaQ> Arso:  I see.
[04:08] <mpech> ah
[04:08] <mpech> yes
[04:08] <vieirar> vikku, Well then edit your resolv.conf file as royel said using either nano or vi. Odd that your dhcp server does not supply dns server addresses.
[04:08] <Arso> alaQ : ok, i couldnt do it, i need your help please.
[04:08] <mpech> steven's tip helps
[04:08] <mpech> 10x
[04:08] <Jordan_U> skulrid, No, ext3 is backwards compatible with ext2 so you can use the ext2 driver in windows
[04:09] <cnoi> i need help to connect my ps3 controller to linux via bluetooth somebody know how to do that??????????????
[04:09] <mpech> Jordan_U: it was really HUGE by default
[04:09] <mpech> :)
[04:09] <Squart> hello all
[04:09] <Arso> alaQ : btw, in mIRC , when u want to write someones name, u just write the first few letters and press TAB and it auto-completes, how do i do that in gaim?
[04:09] <Squart> loooking for some help
[04:09] <Squart> just installed ubuntu
[04:09] <alaQ> Arso: ok.  you need to open up the xorg.conf file to edit the resolution in.   in a terminal, type 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[04:09] <genii> steven_: You could try adding the mask in the range line.
[04:09] <Squart> but when i was installint it it did no t ask me for a passwd for root
[04:09] <skulrid> thnks
[04:09] <skulrid> brb
[04:09] <Arso> alaQ : ok
[04:09] <Squart> and now when i want to change the config it would ask me for password
[04:10] <Squart> how can i fix this?
[04:10] <alaQ> Arso:  the GAIM thing, I don't know (i use a different client)
[04:10] <Pici> !sudo | Squart
[04:10] <ubotu> Squart: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:10] <steven_> genii: i just uncommented that line :P
[04:10] <Pici> Squart: Read up on that link above.
[04:10] <royel> !root | Squart
[04:10] <ubotu> Squart: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[04:10] <Squart> but i am the gui
[04:10] <Arso> alaQ : ok, no problem, ok i pasted the command in terminal
[04:10] <Squart> working in gui mode
[04:10] <jimbojones> can anyone refresh me on the command line to open font properties in gnome... gnome-font-preference or something similar
[04:11] <vikku> vieirar: Actually  ... i am not sure if my dhcp is running !! ......iam sitting in win xp rt now ....trying to get some help to have my ubuntu7.04 server ed work !! .... i want to install desktop too .......
[04:11] <cnoi> i need help to connect my ps3 controller to linux via bluetooth somebody know how to do that??????????????
[04:11] <taxman> ok this is weird, naughtykid001 is running the livecd and trying to double click on a partition to mount it tells him it is unable to mount
[04:11] <alaQ> Arso: all right - at the bottom of the file, there's a section labeled "Screen".  Under it, it gives a list of bit depth, and then the resolutions.
[04:11] <Arso> alaQ : can we pm? all the messages are hurting my eyes at this resolution and freshrate :(
[04:11] <vikku> which i dont have idea of !!
[04:11] <Pici> Squart: So? Those links have all the information you need.
[04:11] <genii> steven_: I would also comment out listen address <IP_ADDRESS> and just leave the new one with actual IP
[04:11] <royel> Squart: ubuntu does not use root, sudo is used instead, read the above links for more information
[04:11] <T-Connect> Hero of Allacrost now install.
[04:11] <vikku> i couldnt find any deb pkgs for KDE and gnome
[04:11] <swmiller6> !gksudo| Squart
[04:11] <ubotu> Squart: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[04:11] <taxman> but going from the command line and creating the /media/sda1 mount point, he is able to access it just fine. Any ideas on the problem?
[04:11] <cnoi> i need help to connect my ps3 controller to linux via bluetooth somebody know how to do that??????????????
[04:11] <Squart> ok
[04:12] <samsara> how can I determine whether a drive is connected via usb1.1 or usb2.0?
[04:12] <vieirar> vikku, Well when you get into you Ubuntu sysem if dhcp is not working issue dhclient eth0 as root. Assuming you are using your first network card
[04:12] <DagonIT> could some one tell me where to get help with open office writer?
[04:12] <cnoi> i need help to connect my ps3 controller to linux via bluetooth somebody know how to do that????
[04:12] <taxman> DagonIT: #openoffice.org
[04:13] <MarcN> cnoi: google on how to connect palm pilot via bluetooth.  Should be similar
[04:13] <DagonIT> thanks
[04:13] <T-Connect> How to install Hero of Allacrost - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30544/ :)
[04:13] <samsara> cnoi: for what I know, you may as well forget about it - bluetooth support in linux is not impressive...
[04:13] <vieirar> vikku, This will run dhcp on eth0 and provide all you settings to the network from the server. Also check the /etc/network/interfaces is setup correctly
[04:13] <W9ZEB-Lars> rofl.....
[04:13] <cnoi> palm pilot? :-X
[04:13] <alaQ> samsara: lsusb -v, and search for the line bcdUSB
[04:13] <W9ZEB-Lars> the NOC at our datacenter sent me an e-mail saying that <IP_ADDRESS> was reported as spamming.....  what am I going to do about it...
[04:13] <samsara> thanks alaQ
[04:14] <vikku> vieirar: i have adsl connection which is connected my comp thru USB ......
[04:14] <vieirar> vikku, should look like this auto eth0  and iface eth0 inet dhcp
[04:14] <Frogzoo> samsara: tail -f /var/log/messages & plug it in - ehci I think is the 2.0 driver
[04:14] <MarcN> cnoi: yeah, a hand held PDA that can do tcp/ip over bluetooth to a linux system.
[04:14] <W9ZEB-Lars> My response was that our IP range is <IP_ADDRESS>/27 it's not possible for us to have originated spam from .112
[04:14] <alaQ> Arso: still there?
[04:14] <vieirar> vikku, ahh OK I see
[04:14] <Arso> alaQ: yes. sorry
[04:14] <vikku> vieirar : so what should i do ?
[04:14] <genii> steven_: I found an interesting dnsmasq.conf sample here http://htyp.org/dnsmasq.conf_sample
[04:14] <W9ZEB-Lars> completely wrong window for that, sorry #ubuntu.
[04:14] <antony> hi, dunno is maybe be in the kubuntu channel, but what the heck...so my question is:   What is the deal with "Show credentials"  that i am seeing in the wireless connection dialogues (and some other places?)
[04:14] <univremonster> I have a question about launchpad.  I'm trying edit my PGP keys and my terminal gives me the error that it cannot find a keyserver
[04:15] <Arso> alaQ: i was at the pm box, and the messages are appearing at the channel box
[04:15] <Arso> alaQ:  let me read up, one second please.
[04:15] <steven_> genii: edited listen-address noting changed
[04:15] <antony> i mean the distro won't let me easily log in as root, why show passwords in plain text so easily?
[04:15] <samsara> thanks Frogzoo
[04:15] <MarcN> cnoi: basically edit /etc/default/bluetooth to enable dund_enable, set a dund_options, write a /etc/ppp/peers/ config file should do most on the linux side.  And enable ip_forwarding by writing into /proc/net/ip_forward.
[04:15] <cnoi> ok but i found this site which im following but it says i need to patch the kernel which i have no idea how to do
[04:15] <Arso> alaQ:  ok, now that i am at the screen section, what do i do?
[04:15] <taxman> any idea on why the livecd would fail to mount someone's hd partitions?
[04:15] <vieirar> vikku, I have never used adsl connected directly to my system. I always had a router in front and connected my PC via ethernet. I do know Ubuntu will work, I will see if I can find some instructions for you.
[04:15] <genii> steven_ You need someone who knows more about this particular app then me
[04:15] <MarcN> cnoi: send me your game console and I'll figure out that side as well ;-)
[04:16] <univremonster> taxman: did you install or are you running off the cd?
[04:16] <genii> *than me* rather
[04:16] <cnoi> heh... you like that? :)
[04:16] <Arso> alaQ:  are you there. .
[04:16] <steven_> genii: trying with that config file :P a second
[04:16] <craigbass1976> how do I find my default gateway?  I type route, but am not getting a complete address
[04:16] <alaQ> Arso:  in front of each line of resolutions, add "1440x900" in the same form as what's already there.
[04:16] <Arso> alaQ: ok
[04:17] <taxman> univremonster: I'm asking for naughtykid001, he's running from the 6.06 livecd
[04:17] <alaQ> Arso: when that's done, then restart X, and it should be working, hopefully.  If not, I'll have to look harder.
[04:17] <denni> Anyone here that has a idea of how to get Xv to work while using compiz on intels GMA-XXX?
[04:17] <univremonster> taxman:  when you install Ubunutu as your OS it will mount your partitions, or at least you can do it manually if there are any issues.  If you're running off the CD you don't have the necessary permissions to change any 'permanent' things like hd partitions
[04:18] <younghacker> can someone help me reconfigure my pg_hba.conf file to work correctly
[04:18] <mariocesar_bo> Hello, someone has problems updating firefox to <IP_ADDRESS>? I get almost all my extensions disable, and it's using the mozilla-firefox-locale on english instead Spanish ... :S any help ?
[04:18] <Milos_SD> I have a problem with my mice ... It goes crazy from time to time, and a log says this:    Jul 20 15:45:32 sdcafe-desktop kernel: [97137.872623]  psmouse.c: Explorer Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 3 bytes away.
[04:18] <younghacker> I can paste it to the bin
[04:18] <Jordan_U> denni, xv is not needed for Videos AFIK with a GPU accelerated WM
[04:18] <taxman> univremonster: but by default you can mount the partitions by doubleclicking on them. He gets errors instead
[04:18] <denni> Jordan_U: So, what should i use then?
[04:18] <denni> Jordan_U: currently i cant watch videos at all while using compiz.
[04:19] <genii> steven_: I think you would need to use the MAC address of your eth0 instead of course
[04:19] <Wanderer> I'm looking on an Edgy system for where $TZ is set.  It's not in my profile and I'm not seeing it in /etc (with grep)....
[04:19] <steven_> genii: can you help em with the dhcp server you usually use?
[04:19] <Wanderer> anyone have any ideas?  It's set to EST and throwing my clock off
[04:19] <Jordan_U> denni, run "gstreamer-properties" and select the noxv option under the video tab
[04:19] <univremonster> taxman:  I am guessing this is a result of being on the CD rather than installed.  I had the same problem with an external hd until install.  You can always install as a dual-boot to try it out without risking any files (since Ubuntu should be able to read your windows partitions)
[04:19] <Milos_SD> I have a problem with my mice ... It goes crazy from time to time, and a log says this:    Jul 20 15:45:32 sdcafe-desktop kernel: [97137.872623]  psmouse.c: Explorer Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 3 bytes away.  Is it a problem with my mice, or kernel (KVM), or someone is hackin me? Please help me. :S
[04:19] <Fantazyia> hello all, i am having an issue with the sbackup program, can anyone help me?
[04:19] <cnoi>  MarcN: i do not know how to do that but.... take a look at this page: http://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixlinux.en.html  they saing something else but i do not know what to do in section 3
[04:20] <steven_> genii: i tryed dhcp3-server (or something similar) but i found the configuration quite complicated
[04:20] <univremonster> Milos_SD: Is it a wireless mouse?
[04:20] <younghacker> hello i need some help configuring my pg_hba.conf file for postgres
[04:20] <younghacker> can anyone help me
[04:20] <jimbojones> anyone know how to get to font preferences in gnome through the command line?
[04:20] <genii> steven_: Yes, but I think the idea of having dnsmasq is to be a gateway for your other box. The dhcp3-server will give out numbers but not be a gateway etc
[04:20] <Arso> alaQ: sorry, back
[04:21] <younghacker> =(
[04:21] <Arso> alaQ:  umm, how do i restart X please. :S
[04:21] <alaQ> Arso: any luck?
[04:21] <Milos_SD> No, it is a cable mouse, and not laser or optic sensor ...
[04:21] <steven_> genii: i'm just trying to get an ip :P
[04:21] <denni> Jordan_U: My videos just get blurry and kind of white compared to when i dont use compiz :/
[04:21] <univremonster> Milos_SD:  Do you know the model?
[04:21] <alaQ> Arso: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:22] <Milos_SD> A4Tech FastNet5Mouse
[04:22] <c_lisp> Arso: or ctrl+backspace+alt
[04:22] <genii> steven_: OK :) Then you should first uninstall the dnsmasq, then install the dhcp3-server
[04:22] <genii> steven_: I'll help you configure it
[04:22] <Milos_SD> It worked fine untill tree days ago ...
[04:22] <alaQ> c_lisp: a little late, and that should only be used for emergencies (is very naughty to X, doesn't clean up well)
[04:22] <Jordan_U> denni, Have you tried with noxv ?
[04:22] <denni> Jordan_U: Yeah, i just did that
[04:23] <Fantazyia> hello all, i am having an issue with the sbackup program, can anyone help me?
[04:23] <univremonster> Milos_SD:  I think you can safely say you're not being hacked... have you tried just taking it out, rebooting, and sticking it back in?
[04:23] <Fantazyia> /who
[04:23] <genii> steven_: Alternately, you could just give the client machine a static IP also on same range if all they need to do is talk to each other
[04:23] <steven_> genii: i just configured eth0 to have a static ip and they work
[04:24] <denni> Brb.
[04:24] <Milos_SD> no, I have not try that ...
[04:24] <genii> steven_: Good :)
[04:25] <steven_> genii: but i wanna use a dhcp server.. i want to learn how to set up a network with dhcp.. (i already have a router so i could connect both pcs to them :P)
[04:25] <Milos_SD> but, I taked mouse out when Ubuntu was on ... And that day, I turnd it off ...
[04:25] <Arso> alaQ: resolution not fixed :(
[04:25] <alaQ> Arso: hrm...
[04:25] <Arso> alaQ: can u make sure i edited the file right?
[04:25] <Arso> alaQ:  maybe i did something wrong.
[04:26] <univremonster> Milos_SD:  You are losing connection briefly (3 bits/your processor speed) so you best case scenario is that there is a bad connection right now, worse case your mouse needs to be replaced or is not compatible with Linux (which is why I ask the model), worst case you have a faulty motherboard at the mouse connection
[04:26] <genii> steven_: dhcp3-server is pretty good for a LAN
[04:26] <alaQ> Arso: put it up onto pastebin, along with /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[04:26] <francesconikit> hi
[04:26] <Arso> alaQ:  can u please tell me how to open it again. and whats /var/log/xorg. etc
[04:26] <steven_> genii: ok wait a sec i neet to change the other pc to dhcp and get an ip form my router before isntalloing packets :P 1 min
[04:26] <alaQ> !pastebin
[04:26] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:27] <genii> steven_: I'll ssh into my dhcp server and pull up some conf file
[04:27] <alaQ> Arso: just copy the contents of those two files, and put them on pastebin
[04:27] <Milos_SD> Ok, thanks univremonster  .... I will try to buy a new mouse (I was planing to do that). What wireless mouse do you thik will work best with Ubuntu?
[04:27] <Arso> alaQ:  umm, how do i open the files :S . (this must be boring for you , sorry)
[04:28] <geartrooper> has a fix been found for powernowd:directory nonexistent?
[04:28] <taxman> the next LTS is slated to be 8.04, right?
[04:28] <univremonster> Milos_SD:  No, I just asked about that because if you had some sort of interference between the mouse and receiver it could cause that problem.  Before buying a new mouse, you might try going to Synaptec and reinstalling your mouse drivers.  But I think you are doing the right thing
[04:28] <steven_> genii: ok package installed, but the daemon failed to start (i thing it is normal due to wrong conf)
[04:28] <alaQ> Arso: It's fine, I'm here to help.  in a terminal, type gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and paste the contents to pastebin.  Rinse and repeat for /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[04:29] <genii> steven_ Yeah that is fine. i am making you a custom one and will pastebin it for you to copy shortly :)
[04:29] <steven_> genii: tnx :)
[04:29] <Arso> alaQ:  heres teh first one http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30546/
[04:29] <Arso> alaQ:  the*
[04:29] <Milos_SD> I know why you asket about wireless mose. Mouse drivers? And that is what package? :D
[04:30] <univremonster> Milos_SD:  Your mouse drivers should be in with the other I/O drivers which are located in xserver
[04:31] <Arso> alaQ:  heres the second one http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30547/
[04:31] <univremonster> Milos_SD: I believe it's xserver-xorg-input-mouse
[04:31] <Milos_SD> Thanks univremonster
[04:31] <univremonster> no prob'
[04:31] <Kilroo> Which is typically considered the better option, MergedFB or BigDesktop? I'm on a Radeon 9800 Pro if that helps. Or is there no particular preference?
[04:32] <univremonster> can anybody help me set up launchpad?
[04:32] <alaQ> Arso: I fixed the xorg.conf file (the first pastebin): http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30548/
[04:33] <univremonster> *bump*
[04:34] <Arso> alaQ:  umm, when i open xorg.conf for editing, it says its read only ?
[04:34] <tech404> any thoughts about how stable ubuntu server is vs. debian stable?
[04:34] <genii> steven_: Do you have some domain-name set up on the server? eg:your prompt looks something like: myname@thedomainname
[04:34] <Milos_SD> univremonster, It is not going to brake my X server by reinstaling that package?
[04:34] <Arso> alaQ: You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again.
[04:35] <tech404> you have to use su
[04:35] <alaQ> Arso: my fault:  sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf editing the file requires you to have
[04:35] <tech404> for xorg.conf
[04:35] <univremonster> Arso:  https://launchpad.net/~bruzzone/+editpgpkeys
[04:35] <tech404> or sudo in this case
[04:35] <Arso> great. thnx
[04:35] <tuzhila> hi
[04:35] <univremonster> Milos_SD:  You should be ok, but I've never done it
[04:35] <alaQ> tech404: thanks for the cover.
[04:35] <univremonster> Arso:  Sorry copied the wrong line
[04:35] <Milos_SD> ok...
[04:35] <tech404> sure
[04:36] <univremonster> Arso:  gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:36] <steven_> genii: no.. my porimpt looks like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[04:36] <Arso> editing now.
[04:36] <univremonster> coo'
[04:36] <genii> steven_ OK, I'll comment out those lines then, you can edit them later if you feel the need
[04:37] <naughtykid001> thanks univremonster for the tips just now, appreciate a lot
[04:37] <naughtykid001> got to fly, see ya
[04:37] <univremonster> naughtykid001: ?
[04:37] <alaQ> Arso: when that's done, just restart X, and (hopefully) we'll be in business.
[04:37] <Arso> alaQ:  great. doing it now
[04:37] <tech404> I am considering moving from Debian Stable to Ubuntu server for by gateway/firewall and lamp server does anyone have any thoughts? Places to take a look at the Ubuntu Server install?
[04:37] <yu31g7> I have a binary (specifically supertux 0.3) file. How do I run it (I want to install it). This is actually for mepis, but the linux room is full, the mepis room is empty, and ubuntu must be similar enough. Can anyone help?
[04:38] <naughtykid001> regarding the suggestion u give to taxman just now, he's helping me actually
[04:38] <Arso> alaQ:  whats the different between gksu and sudo gedit
[04:38] <univremonster> naughtykid001:  OK good, did it work?
[04:38] <tech404> gksu is GUI
[04:38] <Frogzoo> tech404: only that upgrade won't work for you - you'll need to clean install
[04:38] <Arso> tech404: i see, t
[04:38] <dyrne> tech404: i dont know that i would do that
[04:39] <alaQ> Arso: gksu is a gtk wrap-around for su.  sudo gedit runs with su priviliges, but under the user's X control
[04:39] <naughtykid001> univremonster: going to steal a CD R first, for it to work.  :)  chao~
[04:39] <tech404> I knew that... anything else?
[04:39] <Braxt> hey all .. quick question, I'm running Feisty Fawn with Beryl, and Totem only plays sound video. As far as I know my codecs are up to date .. Am I just Missing Something?
[04:39] <Arso> umm, when i used sudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf , i get a blank page.
[04:39] <univremonster> Does anybody know how to set up a pgp key?
[04:39] <Frogzoo> tech404: check the versions for LAMP you'll be running are ok, & go for it
[04:39] <Frogzoo> univremonster: man gpgp
[04:40] <tech404> type X11
[04:40] <genii> steven_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30550/
[04:40] <Frogzoo> univremonster: or easier, install seahorse
[04:40] <Jordan_U> Braxt, open gstreamer-properties and choose the noxv option in the video tab
[04:40] <alaQ> Arso, just 'sudo gedit' then, and find the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file through the Open dialog
[04:40] <tech404> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:40] <Arso> pl
[04:40] <Braxt> thanks man
[04:40] <tech404> yeah thats a better idea
[04:40] <Arso> umm does it matter if X is capital or not?
[04:40] <Jordan_U> !gksudo | alaQ Arso
[04:40] <ubotu> alaQ Arso: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[04:40] <yu31g7> Anyone? I have a binary (specifically supertux 0.3) file. How do I run it (I want to install it)?
[04:40] <tech404> yes
[04:40] <Arso> thats why then
[04:40] <Arso> i used a small x
[04:40] <univremonster> Frogzoo:  I am trying to set up one on launchpad and my problem is that the terminal tells me it doesnt have a keyserver
[04:40] <steven_> genii: tnx
[04:40] <tech404> linux FS's are case dependant
[04:41] <alaQ> Jordan_U: kdesu for me, personally, but either way :0
[04:41] <Arso> ok, i have the file now, editing
[04:41] <dxdemetriou> how can I disable some tty? I have seen about /etc/inittab , and somewhere else about /etc/default/console-setup and /etc/event.d/ . what is a safe way to do it?
[04:41] <Frogzoo> univremonster: do it through seahorse
[04:41] <genii> steven_: Then you need do: sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart
[04:41] <tech404> but like they said its easier to just browse there after you open the prog.
[04:41] <Arso> ok done
[04:41] <Arso> um, how do i restart X , without using any commands, no gui method
[04:41] <Arso> ?
[04:41] <Frogzoo> dxdemetriou: inittabe is no more with upstart you want /etc/event.d/
[04:41] <jo3nix> Arso, ctrl+alt+backspace
[04:41] <MarcN> Arso: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:42] <Arso> thanks jo3nix
[04:42] <tehtechman> yu31g7: "chmod u+x binary" and "./binary"
[04:42] <tech404> or <ctrl><alt><bkspace>
[04:42] <yu31g7> tehtechman: Are they just commands to type in?
[04:42] <alaQ> Ctrl+Alt+Backspace should only be used in emergencies, guys.  It's really nasty to X on terminating.
[04:43] <jo3nix> well he asked
[04:43] <steven_> genii: ok, trying :P
[04:43] <tehtechman> yu31g7: yeah... the first gives you execute permissions (they may alwardy be set) ... the other executes the binary
[04:44] <yu31g7> tehtechman: so do I replace 'binary' with the filename and leave everything else exactly as it is?
[04:44] <univremonster> Frogzoo:  I have seahorse and can see the key I just created.  How do I upload it to a keyserver?
[04:44] <dxdemetriou> Frogzoo, with this can I improve the speed and especially the memory on my pc? I ask because I am the most times on the maximum on mem with 512
[04:44] <tehtechman> yu31g7: yep
[04:44] <yu31g7> tehtechman: Okay, thank you
[04:45] <Frogzoo> univremonster: remote -> sync & publish
[04:45] <Frogzoo> dxdemetriou: shutting down a couple of getty instances won't make much difference
[04:46] <genii> Work, AFK 3-5 minutes
[04:46] <Frogzoo> dxdemetriou: not worth it tbh - a spare tty always comes in handy, especially on servers
[04:46] <genii> steven_:  Work, AFK 3-5 minutes but i'll be around
[04:47] <samsara> okay, what dataspeeds should I be achieving if I have a 7200RPM usb drive connected via usb 2.0?
[04:47] <steven_> genii: ok, dhcp started... let's try :p
[04:47] <arso> hey guys , its me
[04:47] <univremonster> Frogzoo:  Thanks, I got it working
[04:47] <arso> but from windows
[04:47] <andrea> deamaus
[04:47] <arso> i am dual booting, i messed up xorg.conf
[04:47] <arso> :(
[04:47] <arso> now ubuntu wouldnt load X
[04:47] <Jack_Sparrow> alaQ: Question, if you have all applications shut down and need to restart is it still that bad?
[04:47] <samsara> to write, that is
[04:48] <arso> tech404 u there?
[04:48] <arso> alaQ u there?
[04:48] <alaQ> Jack_Sparrow: memory-cleanup wise, it's still not nice, but I guess it isn't the end of the world.  I treat it as a last-case scenario.
[04:48] <alaQ> arso: here.
[04:49] <arso> alaQ i messed up xorg.conf, now its not booting up.
[04:49] <alaQ> arso, if you go back into ubuntu, will you be able to use text-mode?
[04:49] <arso> yes/
[04:49] <yu31g7> tehtechman: That seemed to work, but do you have any idea where the thing might have actually installed? I installed locally (didnt put in root password when prompted).
[04:49] <genesis> hello
[04:49] <swmiller6> arso: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:50] <Jedusor> helllo
[04:50] <arso> what does that do?
[04:50] <arso> restore?
[04:50] <kagemaro> arso - it fixes xorg.conf
[04:50] <swmiller6> reconfigure xorg
[04:50] <alaQ> arso: the above command will let scripts reconfigure the xorg.conf file.
[04:50] <bilss> hi
[04:50] <tehtechman> yu31g7: Im not familiar with the prog, but if you didn't need a root pass then the binary is probably in ~/bin
[04:50] <arso> great.
[04:50] <arso> so i'll reboot now and do that.
[04:50] <arso> see u in a little while
[04:51] <Jack_Sparrow> arso: There should be a backup of your xorg in there
[04:51] <arso> bb
[04:51] <alaQ> arso: also might have an option for display resolutions.
[04:51] <alaQ> darn, too late.

[04:54] <Ercle> Could someone help me with beryl please? When i first installed it everything worked fine, but after a few weeks the bar at the top of every window vanished (the one you click and drag to move a window, and also contains the X to close it). If i change the window manager back to metacity the bar comes back, but i would prefer to keep using beryl if anyone can suggest anything? :)
[04:54] <JosefK> Is anyone else having trouble switching to/from vtts with an NVIDIA 8800GTS + nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new?
[04:55] <bilss> i do have a static IP cannot get one what are the options dynamic DNS?
[04:55] <Frogzoo> deeno9: no idea - but I suggest you leave passwd & shadow alone
[04:55] <gumpish> deeno9:  it's in cleartext?
[04:55] <kagemaro> Does anyone here know how to change your hostname on ksirc?
[04:55] <steven__> genesis: now it works!
[04:55] <Frogzoo> GoClick: does ifconfig -a show both nics?
[04:55] <deeno9> i just want 2 experiment a bit
[04:55] <GoClick> Yeah
[04:55] <deeno9> i dont want 2 hack r something like that
[04:56] <bilss> Frogzoo: thanks
[04:56] <deeno9> i just want to test, how easy it iis 2 hack my system
[04:56] <bulmer> deeno9, what do you want done?
[04:56] <genii> steven__: Back. You have it working now?
[04:56] <rohan> can someone please check and mark this bug as confirmed ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127053 ..  i am almost sure that it's a real bug
[04:56] <deeno9> just brutin MY OWN password

[04:57] <Arso> back.
[04:57] <genii> steven__:  You're welcome  :)
[04:57] <Arso> reconfiguring xorg was successful
[04:57] <Frogzoo> deeno9: this chan is for ubuntu support
[04:57] <Jack_Sparrow> good
[04:57] <Arso> alaQ:  do you still have the link to that edited xorg for the new resolution?
[04:57] <bulmer> deeno9, is that english? brutin? brute force decoding?
[04:57] <GoClick> Frogzoo:  yes it works
[04:57] <deeno9> yeah and i want 2 know, why my pw isnt in hexadezimal, isnt that a support question?
[04:57] <alaQ> Arso: did dpkg-reconfigure give you an option for resolutions?
[04:58] <Arso> alaQ:  yes it did, i selected 1440x900 , but i checked now , the max is still lower than that
[04:58] <deeno9> yeah i mean brute force decoding...
[04:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Arso: God time for a backup.. eh?
[04:58] <bulmer> deeno9, it never has been a hex when displayed
[04:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Arso: Good
[04:58] <Arso> Jack_Sparrow:  yep :P
[04:58] <deeno9> how can i make it hex?
[04:58] <genii> I have extended work to do so logiging off but back in 2-3 hours ... later
[04:58] <Frogzoo> GoClick: network manager seems not to like you fiddling with /etc/network/interfaces - but in this instance it might be necessary to get it to see the other nic
[04:58] <alaQ> sigh... I'm at a loss... Anyone know how to pull 1440x900 on a nvidia card?  Pass to Arso.
[04:58] <bulmer> deeno9, create a script to display the field as hex..
[04:59] <GoClick> Frogzoo: it sees them both
[04:59] <deeno9> and what ius it, it doesnt look binary...
[04:59] <pavlix> hello
[04:59] <pavlix> how do I leave a team in launchpad?
[04:59] <Latty> I'm using 3 monitors with Xinemara, And when I move windows, I'm getting 40-70% CPU usage from Xorg on a 3GHz C2D E6600 - is that normal?
[04:59] <GoClick> It just doesn't grab an ip or activate it if the other one is selected in the upper right hting
[04:59] <pavlix> just found it
[04:59] <pavlix> sorry
[04:59] <Arso> hmm, when i open terminal, i get a blank white screen.
[04:59] <bilss> Frogzoo: were you talking to me when you refered to goclick?:
[04:59] <mbone> help me ! I messed my Ubuntu partition and now Grub is failed to load !
[04:59] <Jordan_U> mbone, "messed" in what way?
[05:00] <mbone> now I can't access both WinXP and ubuntu
[05:00] <Frogzoo> bilss: nope
[05:00] <GoClick> Frogzoo:  I can see eth0 and eth1 in the network manager, if I unplug the cable from eth1 0 grabs an ip and goes to town, if I unplug 0 and plug 1 back in it works but it won't do both at the same time or switch if one is already working
[05:00] <bilss> Frogzoo: ok my fault
[05:00] <kagemaro> alaQ - Which video card?
