[00:22] <speeddemon8803> so...ubotu should only be used in private then?

[00:23] <bense> what's the vim command to turn on syntax highlighting?
[00:23] <speeddemon8803> i was dan
[00:23] <speeddemon8803> :)
[00:23] <bbbadtothebone> well i sure got kicked fast
[00:23] <tcpdumpgod> you're going to have to hit "ctrl+alt+F1" (not right now) and drop out of X11. Then you're going to have to "sudo -i" and get to root. After you do that type "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" and that'll stop the X server. When thats done do a "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and go through all the steps to reconfigure your stuff. Try autodetection but make sure you choose the "nvidia" driver and not the "nv" driver.
[00:23] <tcpdumpgod> ok compsman ?
[00:23] <usr_rob> anyone good on hdparm on 2,5" drives in ubuntu ?

[00:26] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids.
[00:26] <bbbadtothebone> here's a joke then, a man walks into a bar
[00:26] <nosliw_pilf> Jack: it just shows HDA1 and HDB1. Both of those are my IDE drives.

[00:27] <bbbadtothebone> can i tell jokes?
[00:27] <Flannel> bbbadtothebone: in #ubuntu-offtopic.  not here.
[00:27] <bbbadtothebone> or not...cause if it's the latter
[00:27] <USSJoin> Is there an ETA for a patch to the Ubuntu kernel for the root exploit?
[00:27] <Jack_Sparrow> nosliw_pilf: Are you trying to run raid?  SOunds like you need to check your cmos.. are you also dual booting?
[00:27] <speeddemon8803> bbad...you can stop now as that is offtopic and you were already warned.
[00:27] <bbbadtothebone> okay
[00:27] <jack-desktop> Jack_Sparrow, I have two local computers with vncserver running, and I'd rather change the default port before changing ipaddresses
[00:27] <bense> Flannel, thanks for the help :)
[00:27] <BiO> hi
[00:27] <danbhfive> speeddemon8803: use tab completion to type in people's names, it really helps to know who you are talking to

[00:27] <iDivine> My friend just got Ubuntu today and wants to install the 186 updates, but a error comes up saying 'Synaptic already running', How can he solve this?
[00:27] <Flannel> bense: no problem
[00:27] <BiO> is there a way to play windows games under ubuntu?
[00:27] <stealthy> Could someone please help me figure out how to access the files on my usb mp3 player?
[00:28] <Flannel> !wine | BiO
[00:28] <ubotu> BiO: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[00:28] <stealthy> It did not automount as things usually do on plugin
[00:28] <bense> stealthy, depends onw what kind of mp3 player you have
[00:28] <bbbadtothebone> i was stupid enough once to try to get berly on ubuntu on an intel-based machine
[00:28] <nosliw_pilf> Jack: No, I'm not running RAID, and Bios and Windows both recognize the drive just fine.
[00:28] <stealthy> bense, philips
[00:28] <bbbadtothebone> i nearly killed the machine
[00:28] <speeddemon8803> well...bbad...theres only one person with that "portion" of a nickname in their name...so...i dont see how anybody could get confused..but hey ill bend over for the boss any day :)
[00:28] <BiO> i am using wine, but it fails loading the game
[00:28] <Jack_Sparrow> bbbadtothebone: May I have a quick PM?
[00:28] <stealthy> BiO; #winehq
[00:29] <bbbadtothebone> wait what?
[00:29] <Jack_Sparrow> BiO: Please check the db of wine supported games and programs
[00:29] <Scunizi> stealthy, what kind of mp3 is it?
[00:29] <bbbadtothebone> sure
[00:29] <iDivine> My friend just got Ubuntu today and wants to install the 186 updates, but a error comes up saying 'Synaptic already running', How can he solve this?
[00:29] <stealthy> Scunizi, Philips usb mp3 player
[00:29] <BiO> ok
[00:29] <pocketwatch> jack-desktop, vncserver --httpport number
[00:29] <stealthy> Model # PSA612/17
[00:29] <Flannel> iDivine: Before trying to do the updates, close synaptic
[00:29] <HCC[3]> I can't install Ubuntu either
[00:29] <slliness> hey whats the fps that is like open arena but starts with n
[00:29] <speeddemon8803> !whining
[00:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about whining - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:29] <tsukasa_> hey guys whats a good program to check drive corruption
[00:29] <speeddemon8803> hmm
[00:29] <tsukasa_> if the drive is failing or not
[00:29] <iDivine> Flannel, I believe he doesn't have it open.
[00:30] <Scunizi> stealthy, some mp3 players have 2 different modes that are switchable from inside the setup or config of the mp3 player itself.  You might look for that and choose the 2nd option then plug it in and see if it mounts.
[00:30] <jack-desktop> pocketwatch, i'd have to install something else to do that
[00:30] <tsukasa_> anyone?
[00:30] <Flannel> iDivine: Check to make sure he doesn't have adept, aptitude, add/remove, apt-get, synaptic, or another update-manger open.  If not, do `sudo apt-get update` and see what the more verbose error is
[00:30] <tsukasa_> just need a program name here
[00:30] <RedHeron> Just wondering: what's a good network browser for Windows-based networks, since Nautilus doesn't work?
[00:31] <Scunizi> RedHeron, samba with nautilus
[00:31] <Flannel> tsukasa_: nexuiz?
[00:31] <pocketwatch> jack-desktop, i must have missed it, are you using vnc?
[00:31] <RedHeron> Scunizi, it's telling me I can't use it.
[00:31] <Scunizi> RedHeron, samba?
[00:31] <jack-desktop> pocketwatch, i'm using the default "Remote Desktop" program that comes with gutsy
[00:31] <RedHeron> Scunizi: It says "Nautilus cannot handle network: locations"
[00:31] <mejymejy> i am trying a gutsy install on an amd64 with an nvidia fx 5200 and getting a freeze up after initial bootup
[00:31] <Scunizi> !samba > RedHeron
[00:31] <jack-desktop> Do I need to logoff/reboot for changes in gconfig-editor to take effect?
[00:31] <slliness> Flannel, whats that for me?
[00:31] <NixerX> Anyone ever get thins err before unable to make backup link of `./usr/bin/dbmmanage' before installing new version: Operation not permitted
[00:31] <Schmao-Fmao> Hey there, I don't think the Live CD Customization has exactly what I needed to do - I probably missed it, can someone help?
[00:32] <slliness> *was
[00:32] <Flannel> slliness: yes
[00:32] <Schmao-Fmao> err .. I mean I looked at the wiki for Live CD Customization
[00:32] <tsukasa_> Flannel: thats not a hard drive diagnostic tool =P
[00:32] <stealthy> Scunizi, there isn't one
[00:32] <tsukasa_> anyoooone?
[00:32] <Schmao-Fmao> and I think what I'm trying to do is different from what they're describing
[00:32] <Flannel> tsukasa_: is fsck what youre looking for?
[00:32] <slliness> Flannel, thanks thats it I ll remeber by the little purple pill for time ...lol
[00:33] <nickrud> NixerX:   type mount  in a terminal, is your   /   partition mounted read only (ro) ?
[00:33] <tsukasa_> Flannel: maybe, how do i schedule it to work on reboot
[00:33] <Hilikus> hey guys, do you know of any CLI apps to rip a music cd kinda like Exact Audio Copy in windows which re-reads each sector to make sure you get a true reading of the medium?
[00:33] <Schmao-Fmao> I feel like a moron, I've been trying to netboot a live CD of some kind for like 12 hours and I couldn't get it to work :/
[00:33] <Flannel> tsukasa_: `sudo touch /forcefsck`
[00:33] <baxtor> hey guys, whats the best open IRC program (on vista using mIRC ATM need one for my ubuntu partition)
[00:33] <NixerX> nickrud, /dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[00:33] <unagi> anyone know how to get gps data into google earth?
[00:33] <LjL> !best > baxtor    (baxtor, see the private message from Ubotu)
[00:33] <Scunizi> stealthy, I use to go to /media and sudo mkdir mp3 then you'll have to add a line to your fstab to mount it there. there is another way.. maybe after creating the directory you can sudo mount -a
[00:33] <LjL> !irc > baxtor    (baxtor, see the private message from Ubotu)
[00:33] <tsukasa_> Flannel: thanks
[00:34] <Schmao-Fmao> It doesn't matter if it's ubuntu, or debian, or knoppix or anything .. but nothing works! =D
[00:34] <pocketwatch> jack-desktop, vino (default) has hard coded listening ports
[00:34] <pocketwatch> jack-desktop, if you want to change it you'll need to use a different vnc server (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26815)
[00:34] <goodmami> How can I force an input method to be used in all applications?  I don't want xim to be used for x-based programs
[00:34] <danbhfive> Schmao-Fmao: personal question: what's it mean to netboot a live-cd?
[00:34] <speeddemon8803> !netboot
[00:34] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[00:35] <Schmao-Fmao> I'm trying to boot up computers that don't have a CD-ROM drive using the image of a Live CD on a server
[00:35] <NixerX> nickrud, im rebooting the server now after taking out the ro with errors option.
[00:35] <jack-desktop> pocketwatch, in gconf-editor there is and alt-port, i've already changed that, do i need to reboot/logoff for gconf to take effect?
[00:35] <nickrud> NixerX: no, that was ok
[00:35] <Schmao-Fmao> the server provides DHCP / TFTP / NFS, and the client machines boot off the server using LAN boot
[00:35] <Flannel> Schmao-Fmao: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation has a few methods
[00:35] <deniz_> i have a wired router and dial-up internet how do i share? i have 2 ethernet cables?
[00:35] <deniz_> just starrting
[00:35] <deniz_> point
[00:36] <jimmygoon> Why is Dapper Ubiquity Issues in the factoid for !netboot :/
[00:36] <NixerX> damn it.
[00:36] <Schmao-Fmao> Flannel: I'm not actually trying to do network installation :) I plan to use dd and netcat to clone systems, but I need to net-boot into something simple that has the netcat utility
[00:37] <dondong> hi,iv got a problem,my emerald has no border after i run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg",anyone can help me?
[00:37] <Schmao-Fmao> A Live CD isn't the simplest thing but it has quite a bit of existing infrastructure so I hoped I could use it
[00:37] <thinman1189> sorry if this is a stupid question. I need to edit a .conf file. how do I save my changes? I need to open it through terminal as root but I don't know the commant.
[00:37] <Flannel> Schmao-Fmao: maybe something LTSP
[00:37] <chubs_> sudo gedit thinman1189
[00:37] <nickrud> dondong:   alt-f2  emerald --replace
[00:38] <Brenny> Try running emerald --replace
[00:38] <nickrud> NixerX: I had that error, I'm trying to remember what I did
[00:38] <dondong> nickrud: still no border
[00:38] <deniz_> can sum1 get me started on sharing my dial-up internet thru a wired router and 2 ethernet cables?
[00:38] <Schmao-Fmao> Flannel: I could look at that, definitely :)
[00:38] <Schmao-Fmao> Ubuntu has an LTSP, will it have the most current network drivers?
[00:38] <NixerX> nickrud, its a pain in the @ss .... somewhat perpetual.
[00:39] <goodmami> thinman1189: use "sudo gedit X.conf" instead of just "gedit X.conf"  (remember to backup)
[00:39] <pocketwatch> jack-desktop, stop and restart vino-server: gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled false
[00:39] <pocketwatch> gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true
[00:39] <thinman1189> chubs : thanks!
[00:39] <goodmami> thinman1189: (or whatever editor you use)
[00:39] <thinman1189> goodmami : I'm not editing x I'm editing moblock
[00:39] <goodmami> thinman1189: (oops, i was late... thanks chubs)
[00:39] <unagi> anyone know how to get gps data into google earth?
[00:39] <Schmao-Fmao> I'm actually extremely close to getting the netboot to work
[00:39] <Schmao-Fmao> The Ubuntu live CD has the appropriate network drivers but it can't mount nfs
[00:39] <danbhfive> goodmami: thinman1189 you should use gksu over sudo, for some reason that I don't know
[00:39] <jack-desktop> pocketwatch: thanks but i didn't have to do that, it worked
[00:39] <goodmami> thinman1189: (X was a variable... xorg.conf, moblock.conf, whatever)
[00:40] <nickrud> !gksudo (for any that want to read the link)
[00:40] <Schmao-Fmao> the Debian live CD boots up appropriately but it's missing the network driver (I'm using a virtual machine so that's the only way I know)
[00:40] <tonyyarusso> danbhfive: I believe it's so that only the application itself ends up runnint as root, and not all of the other GTK stuff.
[00:40] <nickrud> ubotu is down. danbhfive basically so you don't write to your personal configs as root
[00:41] <goodmami> thanks tonyyarusso,  i didn't know that
[00:41] <danbhfive> thanks guys, interesting
[00:41] <goodmami> Does anybody know this?  How can I force an input method to be used in all applications?  I don't want xim to be used for x-based programs
[00:41] <MatthewV> I'm unable to get the remote inluded with my compro vidoemate u500 to work - it shows up as a device in /proc/bus/input/devices (/dev/input/event7) but I'm unable to get irrecord -H devinput -d /dev/input/event7 lircd.conf to pick up anything - any ideas? should I be asking elsewhere?
[00:42] <unagi> anyone know how to get gps data into google earth?
[00:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo
[00:42] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[00:42] <testfire> Hey guys, does anyone know if there is an IRC channel anywhere for KompoZer or NVU?
[00:42] <Absconsus> Anyone in here that would be willing to help me with finding and replacing text using regular expressions?
[00:43] <tifine_test> ~pastebin
[00:43] <imaginator> goodmami: unfortunately not all toolkits or applications have the same XIM support.  It's not a standard builtin for X11.  So, I'm not sure you can make all programs not use XIM...
[00:43] <speeddemon8803> !pastebin | tifine_test
[00:43] <ubotu> tifine_test: 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)
[00:43] <compsman> tcpdumpgod: i am going threw away my computer soon it cant even detect my card when its using it....
[00:43] <Schmao-Fmao> Hm, the LTSP-BUILD-CLIENTS command reminds me very much of debian-live
[00:43] <Schmao-Fmao> this is good :)
[00:43] <danbhfive> Absconsus: I will, how about in #ubuntu-offtopic.  Ill help just a bit
[00:44] <Absconsus> Okay, thanks :)
[00:44] <thinman1189> goodmami : ah, lol. thought you had literally meant x, lol. danbhfive : what's the difference?
[00:44] <stelt> unagi, i don't know, but i bough one of those GPS-bluetooth things, so i'll get into the problem later
[00:44] <goodmami> imaginator: thanks for replying.  the problem is that xim seems to crash and I cannot input anything.  However if I change to another input method, it will work
[00:45] <goodmami> imaginator: for example, gedit or terminal
[00:45] <danbhfive> thinman1189: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo
[00:45] <ForgetYouNot> whats the easiest way of partitioning an external harddrive???
[00:45] <seisen> gparted
[00:45] <goodmami> imaginator: but if i can't force an app to use an IM, can I somehow switch to it (im-switch or something) from the command line?
[00:45] <tcpdumpgod> compsman, i just got back.
[00:46] <tcpdumpgod> Do you have the option for "nvidia" in the module selection screen compsman, or do you just have "nv" as an option?
[00:46] <imaginator> goodmami: Gtk+ or GNOME may have a specific input method configuration.  So that could fix your gedit or terminal problem.
[00:46] <goodmami> imaginator: in gtk applications I can usually right-click the text area and change the input method there
[00:46] <compsman> tcpdumpgod:  had both i know its suppose be nvidia
[00:46] <rencore_> any ideas why this is messing up? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55550/
[00:47] <echosystm> can anyone help me with my wireless?
[00:47] <goodmami> imaginator: so i have no problem in those.  but non-gtk applications (such as Opera) do not have this context menu
[00:47] <TSCDan> I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 on this system with an integrated 7050 video card and an NEC 14" LCD (1024x768 @75hz). I've reconfigured the X server to use these parameters (nv and vesa), but I always get "Signal out of range" on my LCD (I've tried 60, 70, and 75hz). Any ideas? o.O
[00:47] <echosystm> i have wpa_supplicant setup and my interfaces file, but it doesnt seem to even try to connect to the essid
[00:47] <tcpdumpgod> okay compsman did you select it and continue?
[00:47] <echosystm> iwconfig returns a blank interface
[00:47] <speeddemon8803> Look, I dont mean to make some of you feel inferiour or less superior than myself, we all do have the right to answer questions in here.....if we dont know bot commands dont jump us for it if it was our first attempt...thanks for listening. Have a nice day.
[00:47] <thinman1189> danbhfive : thanks, I'll try to remember from now on.
[00:47] <Dimitree> any way to convert bin,cue to iso ? o-o
[00:48] <csc`> Dimitree: bchunk
[00:48] <Dimitree> ty
[00:48] <compsman> tcpdumpgod: yea and when i start gdm it gets a pop up saying in low video settings
[00:48] <imaginator> goodmami: From what I understand Opera uses the Qt toolkit.  So you would need to configure the input method for that toolkit separately.
[00:48] <TSCDan> Nvm, 800x600@60hz at least starts... *shudder*
[00:49] <tcpdumpgod> Okay compsman, then its your monitor settings.
[00:49] <tcpdumpgod> compsman, what kind of monitor do you have?
[00:49] <compsman> 1703fp

[00:49] <Schmao-Fmao> Wow, this is impossible
[00:49] <rencore_> help me ou
[00:49] <Schmao-Fmao> the Ubuntu LTSP worked
[00:49] <Schmao-Fmao> I just installed it and it worked =P
[00:49] <goodmami> imaginator: ok, that makes sense.  the same goes for x-based apps too, i suppose?  (I'm using ITSDB (http://wiki.delph-in.net/moin/ItsdbTop))
[00:50] <Schmao-Fmao> wtf! I've tried for like 12 hours to get it to work!! :P
[00:50] <speeddemon8803> !wtf
[00:50] <ubotu> Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[00:50] <budah> help me!!!
[00:50] <Schmao-Fmao> oh, sorry
[00:50] <budah> someone help me!!!
[00:50] <Pelo> budah, what with ?
[00:50] <speeddemon8803> !ask
[00:50] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[00:50] <imaginator> goodmami: it's all toolkit-specific, and unfortunately not all toolkits support XIM as well
[00:50] <Dimitree> csc`, any visual version ? i'm noobish : )
[00:50] <goodmami> imaginator: ok, thanks for your help.  i'll look into it a bit more
[00:50] <csc`> Dimitree: bchunk image.bin image.cue image.iso
[00:51] <libano> hola a todos el chan
[00:51] <Pelo> anyone know an app to burn .img dvd images ?

[00:51] <libano> muchas gracias
[00:51] <ahorriblemess> hey everyone, O
[00:51] <ahorriblemess> sorry finger slip..
[00:52] <Schmao-Fmao> I have another question about ubuntu LTSP ... When my client machine has booted up and I look in the /dev directory, am I looking at the devices of the client or the server?
[00:52]  * Pelo will never forgive ahorriblemess , never
[00:52] <thinman1189> I'm trying to get Moblock to work but when I turn it on I can't access the internet at all. It warns that the default setting has it to block my own router. I'm trying to edit the white list so that it doesn't but my changes don't seem to work. Any ideas?
[00:52] <ahorriblemess> I'd just like to check something real quick... a whirring, sort of fluttering/chattery fan sound silenced by tapping the laptop repeatedly is NOT normal and should be repaired, right?
[00:52] <Dimitree> csc`,  thank you :)
[00:53] <Schmao-Fmao> My objective is to use dd and netcat to clone an operating system to /dev/hda, because I have twelve identical computers that I'd like to clone an operating system over
[00:53] <ahorriblemess> it's an HP I know they are known for noisy fans
[00:53] <ahorriblemess> but this is ridiculous
[00:53] <budah> i cannot get my laptop LCD to display properly in 1280 X 800.  I have a Dell Inspiron E1505.
[00:53] <Pelo> ahorriblemess, get ir repaired
[00:53] <TSCDan> ahorriblemess, Probably :)
[00:53] <csc`> Schmao-Fmao: interesting
[00:53] <Brenny> ahorriblemess: Well, depends if the tapping fixes the fan, or breaks it ;) I'd take her in if its under warranty
[00:53] <Pelo> ahorriblemess, you can also try fancontrol , check here  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[00:53] <ahorriblemess> OK good, I've already recieved a rain check from Best Buy to get a replacement
[00:53] <Schmao-Fmao> csc`: I know that Systemimager is another option but I'd like to stick to something simple - plus one of my coworkers doesn't trust it
[00:53] <compsman> tcpdumpgod: you here?
[00:54] <ahorriblemess> I can't wait to install Ubuntu again and sit in front of the terminal for like 8 hours setting everything up
[00:54] <ahorriblemess> again
[00:54] <csc`> again?
[00:54] <ahorriblemess> a second time, I'm getting my laptop replaced due to the fan noise
[00:54] <Schmao-Fmao> At least I know that dd and netcat creates copies that are essentially exact :)
[00:54] <Pelo> ahorriblemess, 8 hrs ?  it takes me 30 min to install ubuntu,  about 3 hrs to setup everything back if I whiped my /home dir
[00:54] <csc`> i agree somewhat with Pelo
[00:54] <ahorriblemess> i exaggerate
[00:54] <budah> !ask  i cannot get my laptop LCD to display properly in 1280 X 800.  I have a Dell Inspiron E1505.
[00:55] <Pelo> ahorriblemess, backup to a dvd or someting
[00:55] <csc`> SSH backup :D
[00:55] <ahorriblemess> I made a note of links to get info again
[00:55] <ahorriblemess> I can do that? with all my settings?
[00:55] <speeddemon8803> budah you dont have to type !ask :)
[00:55] <Pelo> budah, did you edit your xorg.conf file to add the extra resolution ?
[00:55] <ahorriblemess> holy heck I'm going to look that up
[00:55] <Pelo> !backup > ahorriblemess
[00:56] <budah> pelo, i'm scared of xconf
[00:56] <Brenny> budah: You have to get 915resolution I believe. Should be in the main repos.
[00:56] <csc`> ahorriblemess: if you have another computer running (helps if its linux) you can do a nice SFTP backup over a network. Thats what i tend to do
[00:56] <Schmao-Fmao> My current issue is that when I log in with the LTSP server running, I'm actually able to see the whole filesystem on my server machine.  However, the devices in /dev are not the same.  Are the devices I'm seeing the ones that belong to the client machine?
[00:56] <Pelo> ahorriblemess, also just backing up your /etc and /home dir should take care of most of yoru settings and customisation
[00:56] <csc`> ahorriblemess: keep in mind the destination computer has to have enough space ;)
[00:56] <speeddemon8803> !backup
[00:56] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up.

[00:57] <speeddemon8803> oops, forgot the > for me
[00:57] <budah> Brenny, where is the main repos?  assume i know nothing :-\
[00:57] <Pelo> budah, do not be scared of editing xorg.conf,  jsut follow the same syntax and add the resolution you want,  about half way down the file   ,  gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:57] <Pelo> speeddemon8803,  you can also query ubotu in private with /msg ubotu !trigger
[00:57] <Brenny> budah: In terminal all you need to do is 'sudo apt-get install 915resolution'
[00:57] <jack-desktop> why does compiz stop updating my settings after a certain amount of time
[00:57] <seisen> the main repos are the one's enabled by default in apt
[00:58] <speeddemon8803> i know pelo, im beginner team, it was a simple goof up on my part
[00:58] <Pelo> budah, menu > system > admin > software sources ,  check all the boxes on the first tab and the backport on the 3rd tab
[00:58] <seisen> why does it matter anyway if its pm or not
[00:58] <Brenny> Pelo, with his computer editing xorg.conf won't do it without 915resolution installed. It should 'just work' after 915resolution is installed
[00:58] <seisen> maybe somebody is lurking and is going ask the a similar question
[00:58] <Schmao-Fmao> It'll be awesome once I get it to work.  The computers are twelve identical Q6600's :D
[00:58] <ahorriblemess> thank you
[00:59] <seisen> its not like this room is slow
[00:59] <Pelo> seisen, it's just common curtosy so you don'T spam the channel, its not a big deal , it's jsut someting you can do if you don'T rightly know what you are looking for
[00:59] <bolt> I run the ratpoison WM and xterm with the exact same font and fontsize as in the console (i've counted pixels here). I also run xterm with no internal or external border. However, when I create an xterm window, the characters start drawing 1 pixel further down the screen than in the console, making me get 99% of a full line free space at the bottom of the screen. This is driving me crazy. What makes that 1 pixel border?!
[00:59] <speeddemon8803> actually, i did know what i was looking for but ok ill give you the benefit of the doubt of thinking i am a newbie or whatever :)
[01:00] <sebas891> anyone has tried to run a terminal server in a vserver guest ?
[01:01] <imaginator> bolt: there is a tool you can use to introspect some Xt/Xaw-based apps like xterm.  I'm trying to remember the name of it
[01:01] <sebas891> I'm in the vserver and the config of x11-common crashs... with a segmentation fault!
[01:01] <Pelo> speeddemon8803, even if you were not a newbie, you might know have known about that particualr feature, my mentionning it was not meant as an insult , I was just sharing the information
[01:01] <imaginator> bolt: it could probably tell you which widget provides the border
[01:01] <thinman1189> I'm using amd64 so I need a different set of packages for moblock. there's packages located http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3964634&postcount=987 but I don't know what to do with them.
[01:01] <bolt> imaginator: that really would be swell. i'm aiming for making X look exactly like the console, just with the ability to run graphic stuff like firefox. that 1 wasted text line really ruins the impression
[01:01] <budah> Brenny, alright - the last line it says is "Patch mode 5c to resolution 1280x800 complete
[01:02] <budah> Brenny, now what?
[01:02] <seisen> thinman1189: sudo dpkg -i packagename in the terminal
[01:02] <Brenny> Budah, you probably have to log out for it to take effect.
[01:02] <seisen> change packagename to the file  name
[01:02] <budah> Brenny, cross your fingers - and thanks
[01:02] <seisen> also you can double click on the file and gdebi will start up and install them
[01:03] <thinman1189> seisen : for both of the two packages given? I don't know what the difference is other than one is a little bigger in file size.
[01:03] <imaginator> bolt: try installing editres and you can then introspect the widget tree for xterm.
[01:03] <sigma> anyone has any idea how to set up miro? it keeps shutting down right after opened
[01:03] <mateusz> How to start tombay minimized ?

[01:03] <imaginator> bolt: once you find the resource involved you can add it to your ~/.Xdefaults
[01:03] <nosliw_pilf> Anyone know if you can load modules while the system is running?
[01:03] <drcode> hi all

[01:04] <CarlFK> aptget installed apache2 - it creates user www-data and group www-data, but it seems the user isn't in the group.  does this make sense?

[01:04] <jack-desktop> why does compiz stop updating my settings after a certain amount of time

[01:04] <ahorriblemess> !clone
[01:04] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate

[01:06] <Schmao-Fmao> I'd actually like to "dd" an image to /dev/hda on the local filesystem, I doubt that LTSP will allow me to do this ..
[01:06] <CSonicGo> Hi does anyone know of a fast small AIM client?
[01:06] <Schmao-Fmao> I imagine that LTSP is designed for schools with lots of computers to have simple OS's running or libraries or something
[01:06] <Schmao-Fmao> I don't think it's meant for people to modify the local filesystems

[01:09] <christi> is there a vim-enhanced package on ubuntu and how do I install it?
[01:09] <imaginator> Schmao-Fmao: from what I understand the idea of LTSP is to avoid having the need to update the client hard disks
[01:10] <CSonicGo> Here's the issue: Pidgin makes my computer have the classic X- "sticky keys" bug
[01:10] <speeddemon8803> !vim

[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> CSonicGo: Did you install that manually?
[01:10] <unagi> stelt: eh i get data from the gps just fine.......actually
[01:10] <CSonicGo> Jack_Sparrow: no
[01:11] <imaginator> CSonicGo; sticky keys bug?  Can you remap the sticky keys I wonder?  I'm not sure I understand, and I use pidgin
[01:11] <unagi> stelt: eh i get data from the gps just fine.......actually
[01:11] <CSonicGo> I'm talking about the classic Xorg bug that makes your keyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys do this alllllllllllllllllllll the time
[01:11] <christi> speeddemon8803, I have vim (from the cmd line) but I don't seem to have any syntax highlighting and other goodies (that are available on Fedora without any prior configuration)
[01:12] <Brenny> Anyone know of any backup programs that allow backup of an entire disk straight to DVD, without saving anything locally?
[01:12] <sebas891> Schmao-Fmao: you should look at the doc of edubuntu/ltsp doc for your problem.
[01:12] <Schmao-Fmao> imaginator: I suppose so.  LTSP isn't designed for changes to be written to local hard drives
[01:13] <Schmao-Fmao> Thanks, sebas891 and Jack_Sparrow
[01:13] <imaginator> CSonicGo: I use pidgin without problems, though I built it myself.  Do you need to change the repeat rate for your keyboard perhaps?  Another option might be xkbset (which is a tool that can enable/disable sticky keys for X11)
[01:13] <Schmao-Fmao> I'll see what I can do.

[01:15] <mohamed> hi all, I'm using ubuntu 7.10 and I want to install uclibc tool-chain from from synaptic package manager but it asks for g++-4.1 (=4.1.2-12ubuntu1) and I have g++ 4.1.2-16ubuntu2 any help?
[01:16] <exneo> so is their a good server app for gutsy
[01:16] <imaginator> cheeseboy: usually dependencies can't and shouldn't be uninstalled, but you can force them to be uninstalled with dpkg as far as I know.  It may break the application though.
[01:16] <ahorriblemess> has anyone used this backup/restore method with success? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087
[01:16] <imaginator> exneo: apache2 is good
[01:17] <imaginator> for HTTP at least
[01:17] <exneo> sweet is it easy and graphical
[01:17] <CSonicGo> ok I think I've found the problem
[01:17] <josspyker> ahorriblemess: yes, I use it a lot
[01:17] <darkpixel> I am getting ready to do a network install of 7.10 on a handfull of machines.  I copied the cd to /var/www/ubuntu, created a kickstart file, setup PXE, and am running into one minor problem.  The machines PXE boot correctly, download the kickstart, and begin retrieving some of the installer files via HTTP...but at one point it says that downloading a file failed.  The file is /ubuntu/pool/main/e/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs-udeb....  ...
[01:17] <darkpixel> ... I look in that folder and I find an older version of e2fsprogs.  Why is it trying to download a newer version?
[01:17] <imaginator> exneo: I think there are some optional graphical tools available for configuring it.  Search with synaptic for apache admin or something like that.
[01:18] <razordead> cheeseboy: maybe you need to look up the definition of dependency
[01:18] <ahorriblemess> josspyker: ok, and it'll basically make it exactly the same right? Like, when I restore my system I'll have all my plugins, my drivers will be there, files, etc.?
[01:18] <CSonicGo> how do I disable the network manager? its applet is redrawing the icon of itself in the taskbar and everytime it does this, the computer hangs
[01:18] <josspyker> ahorriblemess: yes
[01:18] <CSonicGo> note that I also use a USB wireless device.

[01:19] <exneo> exneo out

[01:20] <fl4mi> Hi Im trying to get samab shares to run in KDE ... when i hit the shareing tab i only get that i have to conigure file shareing... but no matter what i set I just cant get it to work . I always only get that dialogue
[01:20] <fl4mi> I can share as root though
[01:20] <imaginator> csc`: the file atime?
[01:20] <csc`> imaginator: the harddrive killer
[01:20] <csc`> imaginator: atime in fstab iirc?
[01:20] <cheeseboy> razordead, - tried dpkg -r --force tcl8.4
[01:20] <josspyker> ahorriblemess: if you have multiple disks installed you may want to exclude them as well
[01:20] <cheeseboy> but it failed
[01:20] <Schmao-Fmao> sebas891, I'm trying to get local devices to work now.  Thanks again, I'll let you know if it works
[01:21] <imaginator> csc`: it's something that breaks some applications that depend on it.  I don't know if there is a permanent fix for that yet.  Others may know more than I do.
[01:21] <MrPiracy> how do i set initial root password?
[01:21] <sebas891> Schmao-Fmao: good luck.
[01:21] <razordead> cheeseboy: I don't care... I'm not going to help you with something that's going to break your system
[01:22] <imaginator> csc`: it seems that Ubuntu has automatically added noatime to the mount options in /etc/fstab, so it seems it's already taken care of
[01:22] <cheeseboy> razordead, its not going to break it
[01:22] <Scunizi> Ok.. Inkscape channel is dead. Anyone here use it? I'm trying to stroke two drawn objects that are touching and have been grouped. But I want the stroke to show only on the outside edges not the touching edges of the two objects. Any ideas?
[01:22] <csc`> imaginator: not that it matters, my laptops drive is already fscked up, but a little extension of its life helps :P
[01:22] <cheeseboy> razordead, it **MIGHT** but break xchat but i can reinstall tcl8.4 easy
[01:22] <imaginator> csc`: oh you're talking about the laptop bug?
[01:23] <csc`> imaginator: no, the bug that decreased harddrive life by 50%, i dont know what the laptop bug is
[01:23] <imaginator> csc`: that was something else I think.  There was a power management bug relating to that.
[01:23] <MrPiracy> please help, how to set inititial su password?
[01:23] <darkpixel> MrPiracy: sudo passwd
[01:23] <Scunizi> !sudo | MrPiracy
[01:23] <darkpixel> MrPiracy: It'll ask you for your password, then it'll ask you to enter the new root password and verify it.
[01:23] <ubotu> MrPiracy: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[01:24] <imaginator> csc`: just a moment, I'll search.  I think the fix was to change an hdparm usage or run hdparm  in /etc/rc.local
[01:24] <MrPiracy> darkpixel: thanx
[01:24] <sebas891> hum... In which group should I be to be able to do su root ?
[01:24] <cheeseboy> anyone here know how to dpkg force remove?

[01:26] <Hilikus> hey, does anyone know how to burn several files in a graft point using growisofs or genisoimage?
[01:27] <imaginator> csc`:  ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE in /etc/default/acpi-support when true instead of false is what enables the too frequent cycling
[01:28] <dover> i'm trying to share files in "windows" mode instead of samba, but when i try to access them from another pc, it asks me for a usrname and password but even if i enter my ubuntu user id and password i still cant access the files
[01:29] <adac> i cannot burn. try to format a dvd rw with k3b. but the dialog says only : please insert a complete or appenddable dvdrw medium
[01:30] <nohla> Hi, can anybody help me with VLC media player? (I dont speak English very well)
[01:30] <imaginator> nohla: I may be able to help.  what's the problem?
[01:30] <josspyker> adac: erase the dvd -rw f
[01:30] <josspyker> first
[01:30] <nohla> cant read vcd
[01:30] <nohla> imaginator, cant read vcd
[01:31] <nohla> imaginator, ive tries with terminal and menu
[01:31] <markus_> hello.. anyone else how has experienced that nautilus is really slow with SMB over network?
[01:32] <dover> is there a way to stop password preotecting EVERYTHING in ubuntu? it seams like everything i do i have to enter my admin password
[01:32] <adac> josspyker: how?
[01:32] <imaginator> nohla: is it using the proper device?  did you burn the vcd?
[01:33] <iDivine> My friends Ubuntu froze while he was changing the visual effects from none to extra, he can still move his mouse, any ideas?
[01:33] <ahorriblemess> ah man...
[01:33] <carpediem> dover:  that would be a bad idea.  But still, you shouldn't have to enter it unless you are doing administration.
[01:33] <frank23> dover: you need the password to do any administrative task
[01:33] <nohla> imaginator, no
[01:33] <dover> ok, i didnt think i would really need protection like that
[01:33] <thinman1189> if I whitelist <IP_ADDRESS> does that's just my router, right?
[01:33] <nickrud> dover: elevating your privileges to do admin stuff is integral to linux.
[01:34] <josspyker> adac: in the main menu,somewhere in the middle is the erase cd and dvd rw option
[01:34] <dover> my main problem thought is with sharing my files
[01:34] <ahorriblemess> i got my wireless card working, and I was able to view a list of wireless networks... but now the list isn't there anymore... I still have an option to manually set up a network though.
[01:34] <dover> when i try to access my shared files from a windows system the password doesnt work
[01:34] <thinman1189> if I whitelist <IP_ADDRESS> does that's just my router, right?
[01:34] <dover> it just keeps asking me to enter my password over and over, as if its the wrong password
[01:34] <nickrud> !samba | dover (has info about setting that up)
[01:34] <ubotu> dover (has info about setting that up): Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[01:34] <nohla> imaginator, i was watching a movie until it get stuck and closed by itself
[01:34] <speedcore_> bh
[01:35] <dover> i tohught samba was just for linux machines
[01:35] <imaginator> nohla: oh, well that sounds like a bug then
[01:35] <nickrud> dover: samba is smb , the windows designed file sharing
[01:35] <nohla> imaginator, say [00000304] cdda access error: cannot read sector 189
[01:35] <dover> ok, so its not the "unix" options when i want to share files?
[01:36] <flami> Hurm I pretty much have this bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdenetwork/+bug/41955
[01:36] <imaginator> nohla: oh
[01:36] <nohla> imaginator, trying with dvd
[01:36] <flami> dover nope , that would be nfs
[01:36] <speedcore_> is there anything else to punish with than.. glxgears?
[01:36] <imaginator> nohla: are there any scratches on the disc?
[01:36] <nickrud> dover: correct. Now, I'm no samba guru but #samba can help you with setting up your file sharing
[01:36] <nohla> imaginator,  no
[01:36] <flami> anyone have an idea what could be done ?
[01:36] <speedcore_> flami: it can be a cranky dvd-reader
[01:37] <dover> k, ill look more into samba to see why my password wont work, if i cant find anything ill check the samba channel
[01:37] <dover> thanks
[01:37] <nickrud> flami: best source of kde info is in #kubuntu

[01:37] <Mannequin> hi, how can I check if a daemon is running?
[01:38] <carpediem> Mannequin: ps aux |grep mydaemonname
[01:38] <nohla> imaginator, dvd works with totem but it doesnt show subtitles
[01:38] <Mannequin> also, how can I check if it is running on start up and, if not, add it to the start up?
[01:38] <Mannequin> carpediem: thanks, I will try
[01:38] <carpediem> Mannequin: I suggest installing rcconf, then run sudo rcconf

[01:39] <ahorriblemess> this is odd, i checked under "windows wireless drivers", it says the hardware is present, but I can't get that list of networks anymore
[01:40] <imaginator> nohla: I'm not aware enough about which players work best or support subtitles.  I've usually had good luck with Ogle, but I build that myself.

[01:41] <kahrytan> Anyone know how to fix the upgraded Alien Arena? (Repo got updated version  and it broke it.
[01:41] <Brenny> Is it possible to 'dd -if /dev/hda' directly to a computer on a samba network? Something like 'dd -if /dev/hda > smb://..."

[01:43] <Anizuka> idivine, hi
[01:43] <speeddemon8803> Pelo, I agree!
[01:43] <Anizuka> ?
[01:43] <daniel733473> I am trying to install Ubuntu 7.10, and my IDE cdrom is being used with scsi emulation and the install is extremely slow with I/O wait pegged at 100%, ETA several hours to finish. How do I install without CDROM scsi emulation?
[01:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo: Frozen Bubble is SERIOUSLY addictive
[01:43] <iDivine> Anizuka,PERFECT type like that to me for now on.
[01:43] <Pelo> imartron, what is the error ?
[01:43] <nohla> imaginator, I dont need subtitles right now, but the film I was watching doest work, its in my language. vlc stops working
[01:43] <Schmao-Fmao> I'm trying to temporarily undo the changes that LTSP has made, and it seems to have added a TFTP prefix
[01:43] <Anizuka> idivine, okay
[01:43] <Schmao-Fmao> how do I remove it?
[01:43] <iDivine> Anizuka, This is you're HELP, ALL THESE people are you're HELP.
[01:43] <Anizuka> idivine, wow.
[01:44] <DIL> not well versed on syntax but it allows copying via network
[01:44] <iDivine> Anizuka, You have a question? Type  it here, AND SOMEONE WILL HELP YOU. ;)
[01:44] <kahrytan> Anyone know how to fix the upgraded Alien Arena? (Repo got updated version  and it broke it.
[01:44] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow, well , I just made it to level 28 so I I can still quit when ever I want , I just don't wont to yet
[01:44] <Anizuka> idivine, okay..
[01:44] <DIL> re Brenny's ?
[01:44] <imartron> Pelo: it starts with "Nautilus can't be used now" and goes on to tell me to try "bonobo-slay"/reboot
[01:44] <iDivine> Anizuka, So ask the question here, And people will help you.
[01:44] <imaginator> nohla: perhaps it's a VLC bug.  Considering that Totem is capable of playing the same disc that seems likely.
[01:44] <imartron> And then the panel can't load
[01:44] <puff> encrypt128bit: a) don't paste large bloccks of text in the channel.  b) don't use the enter key as puncuation;  type your whole question in one line.  c) use family-appropriate language, d) don't use AOL-isms and chat short-hand, e) Be clear as to what exactly is the  question, f) if nobody answers, that's probably because nobody knows, or the people who do know aren'there.
[01:44] <Pelo> kahrytan, you can reinstall previous versions from the repos,  it is either a right click property thing or in the menu
[01:44] <Anizuka> idivine, is this where you always go?
[01:44] <imartron> so i'm having trouble opening programs and troubleshooting
[01:45] <encrypt128bit> Okay so... first time installing ubuntu, im at the part where you select and install software, and on console 4 during the install its telling me that method cdrom has died unexpectedly, then it tells me that menu item pkgsel  failed with error code 1.
[01:45] <frank23> daniel733473: AFAIK cdrom always have to be accessed as a scsi device.
[01:45] <slugone> where can i find libz??? i checked synaptic
[01:45] <puff> encrypt128bit: Oh, to paste large blocks of text, use pastebin.com
[01:45] <Pelo> imartron, and did you try bonobo-slay  ?
[01:45] <imartron> yup
[01:45] <speeddemon8803> !rules
[01:45] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:45] <imartron> no effect really
[01:45] <encrypt128bit> heh
[01:45] <Pelo> imartron, I would suggest you try looking up the exact error msg in the forum
[01:45] <imartron> not sure what to do after "bonobo-slay"
[01:45] <iDivine> Anizuka, Yes, But remember to ask the question without 'iDivine,' and when someone awnsers you, to adress them with 'NAME,' brb..
[01:45] <Brenny> Dil, yeah, I don't know if it will work though. Guess I should just give it a try. Couldn't hurt too much.
[01:45] <speeddemon8803> that was for anybody and everyone that didnt know them. :)
[01:45] <daniel733473> frank23: on all my previous non-debian based installations, it is recognized as /dev/hda with the 2.6.x kernel. I am hoping for a boot parameter or something to disable that
[01:46] <speeddemon8803> tab completion works wonders
[01:46] <Pelo> imartron,  reboot ?
[01:46] <frank23> daniel733473: oh
[01:46] <imartron> Pelo: multiple reboots have had no effect
[01:46] <slugone> im trying to install/make an app that wants the libz dependancy....i cannot find it in synaptic
[01:46] <frank23> daniel733473: I don't really know...
[01:46] <Pelo> imartron, go back to my first suggestion,  search the error msg in the forum
[01:47] <imaginator> daniel733473: the scsi layer became the default for some reason, based on what I read on the Linux Kernel Mailing List.  I'll try to find the thread
[01:47] <imartron> Something that'll help me is the shortcut for opening a terminal
[01:47] <thinman1189> how do I figure out the ip of a site or port of a program so that I can whitelist it?
[01:47] <daniel733473> frank23: ok, cool. thanks anyway :)
[01:47] <DIL> Brenny, yea good luck
[01:47] <Shrugz> can someone tell me how i can increase the swap/ virtual memory on gutsy? plz message me the awnser
[01:47] <CokeNCode> imartron: alt + cntrl + f1
[01:47] <frank23> slugone: zlib1g (-dev)
[01:47] <Pelo> slugone,  would this be someitng with ruby ?
[01:47] <speeddemon8803> !swap > speeddemon8803
[01:47] <daniel733473> imaginator: ok. I am ok with it being scsi. My problem is that it pegs I/O wait at 100% and is insanely slow. It took 10 mins to boot to the graphical desktop
[01:48] <slugone> the is wepdecrypt
[01:48] <Jack_Sparrow> encrypt128bit: At start or install there are some things you can try..  F6 lets you edit the boot command line and then we try things like noapic  .. before the --  I will post a longer list to try in a sec
[01:48] <slugone> the appis web decrypt
[01:48] <slugone> thanks
[01:48] <nohla> imaginator, totem fail every two time, only works when its opened automatically. Should I try again or change the player?
[01:48] <dialup> ok so ive been messing with installing ubuntu 7.10 for a good 48 hours now...and no luck
[01:48] <Anizuka> can someone help? my visual effects isnt working. every time I try to switch to extra, it always says it cant be enabled
[01:48] <encrypt128bit> okay
[01:48] <Pelo> slugone,  I would go with frank23 suggesttion,  xliblg-dev
[01:48] <Jack_Sparrow> encrypt128bit: acpi=off, pci=irqroute, xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, vga=771, vga=791, pci=irqroute, framebuffer=false, ide=nodma, nomce, pnpbios=off, xdrvr=vesa, res=800x600, apm=off,pci=noapci, noapic, nolapic, all_generic_ide, nolapic, pci=assign-busses, pci=irqpoll, pci=biosirq, pnpbios=off, hpet=disable
[01:48] <imartron> is there a shortcut to open a terminal pane within gnome/xwindows?
[01:48] <slugone> yea sounds promising
[01:49] <bruenig> imartron, if you make one
[01:49] <Pelo> Anizuka, that might be because your video card can't handle it
[01:49] <lz7> any way to disable web page "stuckage" when mouse is over flash banner?
[01:49] <encrypt128bit> i should put all that before the boot? im using the alternate text based installer
[01:49] <kahrytan> Pelo->  new version is nice but it crashes after 2 map is finished (single player)
[01:49] <imaginator> nohla: Sorry, but I don't know.  That sounds like a bug in Totem
[01:49] <Jack_Sparrow> encrypt128bit: nope... nevewr all of them
[01:49] <dialup> ive tried all the tricks in the forums ect.....while using the GUI version, it initializes the mouse display, then goes to a text version that hangs at 'running local scripts', tried the nosplash method.... tried the alt version...both cds are fine...the alt version gets to the point where its 'configuring apt - scanning the mirror' and hangs at 40%
[01:49] <Anizuka> Pelo, it says the normal one wont even work
[01:49] <Joey_Fippin> i can't open device manager
[01:49] <imaginator> nohla: do you have a lot of unattached shared memory segments listed in ipcs?
[01:49] <Pelo> kahrytan, like I said you can revert to the privious version in synaptic
[01:49] <imartron> darn
[01:49] <Joey_Fippin> seriously, it just doesn't show up
[01:49] <Joey_Fippin> wtf
[01:49] <encrypt128bit> so just try one of those at a time or what. heh, sorry im pretty new at this
[01:49] <Pelo> Anizuka, what is your video card ?
[01:50] <encrypt128bit> and should i abort my current installation to try these
[01:50] <Anizuka> pelo, how do you figgure out what your video card is?
[01:50] <Joey_Fippin> i just installed 7.10
[01:50] <Jack_Sparrow> encrypt128bit: Already trying the alternate.. have done the cd self test or done an MD5 checksum on it.. sorry.. but I need to take off...  WIfe will be home in a few minutes
[01:50] <Pelo> Joey_Fippin, i had that happen a while back,  I wasn't realy botter to check why at the time and it is back now , try rebooting
[01:50] <Brenny> Dil, nope, :) Can't dd directly to samba. It doesn't recognize it as a valid directory. Time to find another method...
[01:50] <kahrytan> Pelo->  ill check getdeb version
[01:50] <Joey_Fippin> alright
[01:50] <Joey_Fippin> thanks pelo
[01:50] <imaginator> daniel733473: that sounds strange for it to be so slow.  I haven't heard of that before.  how old are the disk and motherboard?
[01:51] <Pelo> Anizuka, check your computer's manual ?  or type lspci in the terminal
[01:51] <ahorriblemess> i'm on an hp6704nr notebook... plugging headphones into the computer doesn't mute the speakers. I've already tried the method on here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=575750&highlight=wifi&page=4
[01:51] <nohla> imaginator, I cant understand you
[01:51] <jack|ass> Has anyone gotten Lightscribe working in 64-bit Ubuntu?  I installed it using alien, but the results when it prints are kind of swirly, as if it printed everything in a spiral rather than extending outwars
[01:51] <encrypt128bit> jack_sparrow: Yea, MD5 checksum checks out
[01:51] <imaginator> nohla: in an xterm try running ipcs
[01:51] <Jack_Sparrow> encrypt128bit: good luck, someone should have an answer
[01:51] <encrypt128bit> :-/
[01:51] <dialup> ive tried all the tricks in the forums ect.....while using the GUI version, it initializes the mouse display, then goes to a text version that hangs at 'running local scripts', tried the nosplash method.... tried the alt version...both cds are fine...the alt version gets to the point where its 'configuring apt - scanning the mirror' and hangs at 40%, tried even bypassing my router, to ensure it wasnt that that was bugging out the configuring
[01:51] <daniel733473> imaginator: it is a Dell Inspiron 3800, 1.6Ghz, 52xcd/dvdrom. Not sure of the exact years, but within the past 4
[01:51] <Jack_Sparrow> encrypt128bit: Try posting your hardware info for review
[01:52] <encrypt128bit> where at?
[01:52] <DIL> Brenny, the command is netcat you specify ip etc
[01:52] <Jack_Sparrow> encrypt128bit: Short version in here, keep it short.. NEVER more than three lines
[01:52] <imaginator> nohla: you may find that you're out of shared memory, but it does sound like a bug in Totem.  Everytime a program crashes it may not cleanup the SysV shared memory that ipcs lists.
[01:52] <Brenny> Dil, even if it's a Windows machine on the other end?
[01:52] <imaginator> nohla: especially video players
[01:52] <Pelo> dialup,  what is this in regards to ?
[01:53] <dialup> installing 7.10
[01:53] <dialup> x64
[01:53] <imaginator> nohla: in which case youc an use ipcrm to remove the shared memory identifier
[01:53] <speeddemon8803> thats not good
[01:53] <dialup> tried both graphical and alt..... checksum good, cd 100%
[01:53] <Pelo> dialup, go back to i386  alt install cd

[01:54] <imaginator> do any of you know if there is an automated way to cleanup the shared memory segments that ipcs lists in ubuntu?  Perhaps a graphical way?
[01:54] <Webu> Am I right "sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager" is all I need to install Compiz on Ubuntu 7.10?

[01:54] <encrypt128bit> such chaos in here.
[01:54] <ahorriblemess> ok, I just don't really know all the commands and stuff. I wasn't sure if that was one
[01:54] <Brenny> Dil, alright, thanks. Ill give that a look. Figure out the syntax I need.
[01:55] <Pelo> encrypt128bit, , it's just a busy channel, repeat your query periodicaly and breifly
[01:55] <DIL> Brenny, kk,
[01:55] <Pelo> ahorriblemess, most of the commands will give a short text with a few links regarding specific , common problems
[01:55] <Anizuka> Pelo, the Ispci isnt working in the terminal
[01:55] <miraage> Is it possible to install an old version of the UBUNTU kernel without compiling from source?
[01:56] <mjw-> Anizuka it's lspci, not Ispci
[01:56] <Brenny> Dil, sorry, didn't mean for you to go look for it if thats how it came it. I'm hunting it down right now:)
[01:56] <Joey_Fippin> hmm, restarting didn't fix me
[01:56] <imaginator> daniel733473: does the Linux dmesg program list anything that would indicate a device driver having problems?
[01:56] <Anizuka> xD
[01:56] <Pelo> Anizuka, you do know what linux is case sensitive right &
[01:56] <Pelo> ?
[01:56] <miraage> It seems that there's only one kernel version in my apt repository
[01:56] <nohla> imaginator, im really new in ubuntu, i hardly understand ubuntu, terminal and English. If it isnt easy yo cant help me because i cant help you to understand me
[01:56] <arrrghhh> hey to make something runable from anywhere i just have to do a "sudo ln -s <filename>" and then i can run "filename" from whereever in the terminal right?
[01:56] <Anizuka> Pelo, no, I didnt
[01:57] <Dr_willis> arrrghhh,  you need to link it to somewhere in your path
[01:57] <daniel733473> imaginator: I will check on this boot. I had powered it off and started reading about boot options. I am trying to boot with "generic.all_generic_ide=1" now. If that doesn't work, I'll be reading dmesg very carefully.  Thanks for your time so far :)
[01:57] <imaginator> nohla: I understand.  It's probably just a bug in Totem.  Please report it if you can.  I know that english isn't your native language :)
[01:57] <arrrghhh> Dr_willis, can you be a little less vague please?
[01:57] <Pelo> imartron, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel
[01:57] <imartron> Yeah, just noticed ;)
[01:57] <Dr_willis> arrrghhh,  what you are doing is totally wrong.. since your command is wrong...
[01:57] <miraage> How can I install an older version of linux-image (linux-image-2.6.21 or less) ?
[01:57] <imartron> I'm not getting relevant results in ubuntuforums or google
[01:57] <imartron> here's my error message:
[01:57] <imartron> Nautilus can't be used now. Running the command "bonobo-slay" from the console may fix the problem. If not, you can try rebooting the computer or installing Nautilus again.
[01:57] <imartron> Bonobo couldn't locate the Nautilus_shell.server file. One cause of this seems to be an LD_LIBRARY_PATH that does not include the bonobo-activation library's directory. Another possible cause would be bad install with a missing Nautilus_Shell.server file.
[01:57] <imartron> Running "bonobo-slay" will kill all Bonobo Activation and GConf processes, which may be needed by other applications.
[01:57] <imartron> Sometimes killing bonobo-activation-server and gconfd fixes the problem, but we don't know why.
[01:57] <FloodBot3> imartron: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:57] <Pelo> ok , I'm just getting pmed by everyoneand their cousings
[01:58] <Dr_willis> arrrghhh,  your commands must be somewhere in your path of commands. Bash fundamentals.
[01:58] <Joey_Fippin> my bad pelo
[01:58] <arrrghhh> Dr_willis, wha?
[01:58] <nickrud> imartron: so, did you do all of those things they suggested?
[01:58] <DIL> Brenny, no dude, i learned dd and thought how nice it would be to dd over network netcat was the tool i looked at not much hands on
[01:58] <encrypt128bit> Heres my problem: Im installing UBUNTU via alternate cd, MD5 checked out on the ISO file i downloaded, and the check CD didnt find any errors. Im at the stage in the install where you select and install software, and it keeps failing. (Im running a P4 3GHz, 1GB of ram, gefore 6800) im installing ubuntu on a seperate hard drive as well.
[01:58] <Pelo> imartron, try these commands,   sudo apt-get remove nautilus --purge  and then sudo apt-get install nautilus
[01:59] <Joey_Fippin> any ideas on getting device manager to start?
[01:59] <Brenny> Dil, looking at a webpage right now. Netcat looks like exactly what I need. Thanks a bunch. I
[01:59] <macogw> encrypt128bit: and you're sure the optical drive's in good shape?
[01:59] <speeddemon8803> device manager?
[01:59] <encrypt128bit> Yes
[02:00] <Joey_Fippin> yeah, its supposed to be under system > administration > device manager
[02:00] <Joey_Fippin> but def not there for me
[02:00] <Pelo> encrypt128bit,try pre partitionning your harddrive,  make 3 partitons,   / ext3 about 10 gig ,  swap linux-swap 2 gig and /home ext3 the rest
[02:00] <slugone_> sry my internet got messed up, the zlib worked, but now it says "requires openssl even though i just reinstalled it " (im trying to make wepdecrypt)
[02:00] <macogw> Joey_Fippin: right click the menu and go to edit. maybe its just hidden?
[02:00] <Pelo> encrypt128bit,  then use manual partitionning in the installer , select where each ofthe partition goes that will save you some formating
[02:00] <imaginator> daniel733473: you might also want to install the linux-source package and then look in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt which has a bunch of IDE options that could be useful towards getting it to be faster.
[02:00] <Joey_Fippin> i just installed ubuntu, but its screwing me over in like 10 ways
[02:00] <nohla> imaginator, thanks. hardly ever somebody help in ubuntu-es. Try in english is easier than find a good soul :(
[02:00] <macogw> Joey_Fippin: sudo lshw will also tell you the same info
[02:00] <Pelo> Joey_Fippin, just list them one at a time
[02:01] <echosystm> can someone tell me how to echo the time in a terminal?
[02:01] <rsk> Joey_Fippin, well an OS is like a wife...
[02:01] <Joey_Fippin> not hidden
[02:01] <echosystm> echo $(time) ?!
[02:01] <imartron> I've tried 1) bonobo-slay.  2) reboot.  3) reinstall nautilus
[02:01] <imaginator> nohla: It's tough sometimes. Perhaps you will gain experience and be able to help people in ubuntu-es :)
[02:01] <imartron> I don't know how to work with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or how to find Nautilus_Shell.server
[02:02] <slugone_> sry my internet got messed up, the zlib worked, but now it says "requires openssl even though i just reinstalled it " (im trying to make wepdecrypt)  ((((i have a fresh install((yesterday)) ))))
[02:02] <Pelo> slugone_, make sure you ahve the -dev packages isntalled as well
[02:02] <frank23> slugone_: you have libssl-dev installed?
[02:02] <Joey_Fippin> pelo: list what one at a time?
[02:02] <miraage> I don't get it... Does ubuntu remove old kernel versions when a new version is instaled?
[02:03] <rredd4> If i install xp on my partition, will xp overwrite 7.10?
[02:03] <Pelo> slugone_,  when compiling manualy always install the -dev packages of the dependencies requested
[02:03] <Varanger> hi
[02:03] <slugone_> i do
[02:03] <imartron> my most recent action was to do the 'recommended upgrades' which included firefox and firefox-gnome... not sure what else
[02:03] <miraage> It seems to, and I can't understand why it would ever do that
[02:03] <Pelo> Joey_Fippin, never mind
[02:03] <imartron> but it's my guess that the problem may have arisen from that
[02:03] <DIL> rredd4: yes
[02:03] <slugone_> well maybe its cuz im missing 1 more dependency i cant find in synaptic ill list it in a sec
[02:03] <jay-oh-en> anybody here thats decent with html or kompozer or whatever program you use && gimp / photoshop want to help me make a website?
[02:03] <Pelo> imartron, did you try uninstalling and relinstalling like I  suggested ?
[02:04] <slugone_> here            fltk
[02:04] <speeddemon8803> !botsnack
[02:04] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[02:04] <slugone_> i cant find it
[02:04] <Joey_Fippin> ok, new question: how can i get my nvidia driver to work?
[02:04] <speeddemon8803> great, bots back :)
[02:04] <nohla> imaginator, Your are such a hopeful guy :):):)
[02:04] <rredd4> DIL even though 7.10 is on a different partition?
[02:04] <Pelo> Joey_Fippin, menu > system > admin > restricted driver
[02:04] <miraage> HELLO WTF
[02:04] <DIL> rredd4: no
[02:04] <Varanger> I have recently bought a larger hard disk for backup purposes. The new one is 500 GB and the older one is only 80GB. I am trying to backup the whole 80-gb HD to a file in the second hard disk. I have questions: What filesystem should I use and how can I make the backup & restore process?
[02:04] <Pelo> miraage, what %?
[02:04] <jay-oh-en> speeddemon8803, im not a bot
[02:05] <miraage> Pelo: What % of what?
[02:05] <speeddemon8803> was not referring to you, i was referring to ubotu
[02:05] <miraage> Wow at least I'm not invisible.
[02:05] <imartron> Pelo: your message got list in the rest... Trying the reinstall now
[02:05] <DIL> rredd4: two separate is ok it will dual boot
[02:05] <Pelo> imartron, try these commands,   sudo apt-get remove nautilus --purge  and then sudo apt-get install nautilus
[02:05] <frank23> rredd4: if you install windows on a different partition than linux, it will still overwrite the MBR
[02:05] <rredd4> DIL just have to redo grub
[02:05] <jay-oh-en> miraage, i thought somebody would answer your question
[02:06] <jay-oh-en> miraage, yes ubuntu does
[02:06] <imartron> brb
[02:06] <miraage> Me too. It's really a really fucking basic one.

[02:07] <miraage> Pelo: Yea
[02:07] <Thurin1> Joey_Fippin: You need to enable the source servers in 'software properties'
[02:07] <ahorriblemess> well great, I just restarted after updating alsa drivers so I can get my headphone jack to cut off the speakers, and now I have no sound at all after a restart
[02:07] <speeddemon8803> or...actually ubotu got it

[02:12] <jgodfrey0723> hi guys
[02:12] <miraage> Removing old kernels from /boot is a *REALLY* bad idea. I'd be very surprised to hear any rational reason for it.

[02:14] <arrummzen> tantric132, you you tried Linux in a virtual machine yet?
[02:15] <ripdisk_> jgodfrey0723, you want to ger rid of windows?
[02:15] <Pelo> tantric132, use gparted on the ubuntu live cd and make a 2 ext3 partitons , then delete thefirst one and install xp on the empty space

[02:15] <tantric132> my HD is unallocated...im in here on the live cd...so you say make two ext3 partitions?
[02:15] <nickrud> jgodfrey0723: set up your sources properly first.
[02:16] <Pelo> jgodfrey0723, you are told that a package is broken,  uninstall that pacakge and then reinstall it
[02:16] <jay-oh-en> miraage, where do you have to downgrade to
[02:16] <jay-oh-en> miraage, i mean like what version
[02:16] <Anizuka> Pelo, okay, I put in the lspci. now how do I find the video card?
[02:16] <mkbernard> hey all
[02:16] <arrummzen> tantric132, I use cfdisk for partitioning... then mkfs.ext3 to make filesystems.
[02:16] <Pelo> tantric132, yes that is what I said,  basicaly you are makeing two so there is a place older so xp does not install on the whole hdd
[02:16] <jgodfrey0723> Pelo, how would I do that? sorry i'm still a linux newb :(

[02:17] <BananaMon> Because that list is not only not exhaustive, but also not compltely function for me
[02:17] <nickrud> tantric132: 3:  one for  /   (around 10gb) , one for swap (2xRam up to 2gb) one for  /home the rest
[02:17] <Joey_Fippin> instead of the network manager?
[02:17] <slugone_> well im getting close ;) now this is my only error when trying to ./configure (checking for MD5_Init in -lcrypto... no)
[02:18] <Pelo> jgodfrey0723,  you are in gparted,  the hdd is empty I assume ,  right cclick on it and select add a partiton, then select the size and the format
[02:18] <ahorriblemess> man, can someone help me with this sound issue? I updated my alsamixer and I have no sound now..
[02:18] <jay-oh-en> Joey_Fippin, yeah you should do it all with gedit :]
[02:18] <Pelo> jgodfrey0723,  it is fairly intuitive
[02:18] <Joey_Fippin> whats the command for that?
[02:18] <ahorriblemess> I enter cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec and it says no such file or directory
[02:18] <tantric132> Pelo, do I make two Primary ext3?
[02:18] <miraage> jay-oh-en: 2.6.21 works
[02:18] <Pelo> ahorriblemess, type alsamixer in the terminal,   make sure all the sliders are up and not muted
[02:18] <nickrud> slugone_: you have libssl-dev  installed?
[02:18] <Pelo> tantric132, yes , for now,  then delete the first one to install xp to
[02:18] <slugone_> yessir ill reinstall though
[02:18] <jgodfrey0723> pelo, what does that have to do with reinstalling those packages?
[02:19] <Joey_Fippin> jay-oh-en: how do i pull that off?
[02:19] <Pelo> jgodfrey0723, sorry I'm doing more the one person here I may comfused my suggestion
[02:19] <tantric132> Pelo, so delete the first, insert my XP disk into the drive, boot from it, install it on the remaining ext3, and then what?
[02:19] <miraage> jay-oh-en: Are you stalling for time or...?
[02:20] <Pelo> tantric132, no install xp on the empty space , then after that , isntall ubuntu on the ext3 partiton
[02:20] <jay-oh-en> miraage, im looking on google as we speek dude...
[02:20] <jgodfrey0723> Pelo,   i completely understand, you do look busy, do you know where i could go to find my answer so as not to bother you with my ultra newbiness?
[02:20] <miraage> Oh, so am I.
[02:20] <tantric132> Pelo, thanks!
[02:20] <nickrud> jgodfrey0723: does  apt-cache policy libgnomeui-dev show an installation candidate?
[02:20] <slugone_> by golly i was installing openssl-dev :P
[02:20] <jcg42> When trying to install new software I get the error:
[02:20] <jcg42> E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true returned an error code (100)
[02:20] <tantric132> ill try that and return if no luck'
[02:20] <jcg42> E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true
[02:20] <jcg42> What does that mean?
[02:20] <miraage> jay-oh-en: All I can see are ways of compiling from src
[02:21] <Pelo> jgodfrey0723, well if you asked more then what I told you earlier , not sure,  remove the broken package and purge it then reinstall it and try to install what ever it was again
[02:21] <jay-oh-en> miraage, why not try that

[02:21] <jay-oh-en> well Anizuka isnt gonna get help
[02:21] <Pelo> sigh
[02:22] <jgodfrey0723> Pelo, i got W: Unable to locate package libgnuomeui-dev.  How do I purge that file?
[02:22] <slugone_> good now its just that last one you said should be in synaptic that i cant see (((configure: error: You must have fltk installed!
[02:22] <slugone_> )))))
[02:22] <Flannel> subichan: no
[02:22] <Joey_Fippin> jay-oh-en, do you think it is a driver problem?
[02:22] <Anizuka> xD
[02:22] <imartron> is there some default place where I can look for a boot/error log?  Maybe I can learn more about why nautilus isn't starting
[02:22] <Pelo> jgodfrey0723, you are doing this in cli ? try doing it with synaptic
[02:22] <miraage> jay-oh-en: So there's no way?
[02:22] <subichan> Flannel: I can't access those files though. I think the folder is locked somehow
[02:22] <miraage> Other than src?!
[02:22] <Anizuka> jay-oh-en, eh..
[02:22] <speeddemon8803> Anizuka, using you as an example as why pastebin is good :)
[02:22] <squee> Is there another way to read the cpu info besides reading /proc/cpuinfo?
[02:22] <nickrud> slugone_: mine shows that it's in main (gutsy)
[02:22] <Flannel> subichan: what are you trying to do?
[02:23] <Joey_Fippin> how do i test to see if my wireless drivers are set up right?
[02:23] <jay-oh-en> Joey_Fippin, no
[02:23] <Pelo> Anizuka,  you very probabaly have an ati card,   goto menu >`system > admin > restricted driver , see if there is a driver for your card that needs installing
[02:23] <frank23> imartron: there are lots of logs under /var/log/
[02:23] <squee> Joey_Fippin, sudo iwlist scan
[02:23] <imartron> thx
[02:23] <Anizuka> speeddemon8803, im new..
[02:23] <nickrud> !gutsysources | jgodfrey0723 fix your sources.
[02:23] <Varanger> I have recently bought a larger hard disk for backup purposes. The new one is 500 GB and the older one is only 80GB. I am trying to backup the whole 80-gb HD to a file in the second hard disk. I have questions: What filesystem should I use and how can I make the backup & restore process?
[02:23] <MasterShrek> squee, probably, but cat /proc/cpuinfo    works fine for me :)
[02:23] <jay-oh-en> miraage, prolly not but im looking
[02:23] <slugone_> ure right i see now that lower case l looks atlot like the number 1 on my monitor
[02:23] <jgodfrey0723> Pelo, tried that, the file doesn't show up as being installed
[02:23] <speeddemon8803> and im kidding :)
[02:23] <ubotu> jgodfrey0723 fix your sources.: gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates).
[02:23] <subichan> Flannel: I'm just double clicking on the www folder to get inside and copy files over other files, but I can't even enter it
[02:23] <frank23> imartron: there might a log viewer too i don't know
[02:23] <craigbass1976> I have a strange issue, not finding much in google...   Permission denied errors.  IP stays the same, but I get no default gw, thus can't get out.
[02:23] <BananaMon> guys....using Preferences>Sessions for a list of startup programs does not work for me...is there another way to manage startup programs and scripts? In more detail??
[02:23] <jgodfrey0723> nickrud, can u elaborate? sorry...
[02:23] <tantric132> Pelo, one last question...I must install XP on the empty space before installing ubuntu on the ext3 correct?
[02:23] <Pelo> !backup > Varanger check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[02:24] <Joey_Fippin> squee: no scan results on eth1
[02:24] <Varanger> Pelo: Sorry
[02:24] <miraage> maybe I can get old .debs for kernel images?
[02:24] <Pelo> jgodfrey0723, are you sure you ahve the correct spelling ?
[02:24] <jgodfrey0723> ubotu, did that and still no good, i'll show u the results i get when trying through synaptic
[02:24] <jay-oh-en> miraage, if you have any chance it would be to look in synaptic for the kernel
[02:24] <Flannel> subichan: you should be able to open it.  It should be world readable.  But, the files are all owned by www-data, your regular user wont be able to edit them
[02:24] <craigbass1976> For some reason this drive have been chowned so that uid 500 owned everything.  I set it so that root owned everything except the /home/ contents, and am stuck here
[02:24] <nickrud> jgodfrey0723: you have a bot message above
[02:24] <nickrud> Pelo: he has bad sources, that package is in main
[02:24] <jay-oh-en> miraage, Just search for "linux-kernel"
[02:24] <Pelo> tantric132, yes, always install windows first that way when ubuntu isntalls it sees xp and puts it in the boot menu
[02:25] <Anizuka> Pelo, hey, your rightz!
[02:25] <subichan> Flannel: do you think I was not given an admin account after all?
[02:25] <tantric132> Pelo, so THATS why I kept getting the root system file is not defined?
[02:25] <nickrud> craigbass1976: then you're gonna have problems, a lot of stuff has to be owned by other users
[02:25] <Pelo> Anizuka,  I occasionnaly am
[02:25] <Anizuka> Pelo, thanks
[02:25] <Anizuka> xD
[02:25] <Pelo> tantric132, possibly
[02:25] <craigbass1976> nickrud, really... even in the folders besides /home?
[02:25] <Flannel> subichan: having an admin account is an entirely independant thing.  You can type "groups" and see if you're in admin
[02:25] <jgodfrey0723> Pelo, tried under synaptic, marked for installation, got an error message saying file has unresolved dependencies
[02:25] <tantric132> Pelo, you the man! Thanks bro...going to do it now
[02:26] <jgodfrey0723> Pelo, libgnomeui-dev:
[02:26] <jgodfrey0723>  Depends: libgnome2-dev but it is not going to be installed
[02:26] <jgodfrey0723>  Depends: libbonoboui2-dev but it is not going to be installed
[02:26] <Flannel> subichan: what does ls -al /var/ | grep www give you?
[02:26] <pocketwatch> is there a modifier key i can use to scroll horizontally with my mouse wheel?
[02:26] <echosystm> if i need to install the nvidia driver from console, is it just nvidia-glx?
[02:26] <Pelo> jgodfrey0723, can you find those two packages in the repos ?
[02:26] <BananaMon> um...so does anyone know if there are alternatives to managing startup programs than Admin>Sessions?
[02:26] <jgodfrey0723> Pelo, yes
[02:26] <Pelo> jgodfrey0723,  and ...
[02:26] <nickrud> craigbass1976: I'm guessing you changed the owner of files like /var/run/klogd ? shouldn't be owned by root
[02:26] <PriceChild> BananaMon, system > preferences > sessions ?
[02:27] <jgodfrey0723> Pelo, both are unmarked, when i try to install them they come back saying unresolved dependencies, its really weird
[02:27] <nickrud> jgodfrey0723: it's not wierd. Have you checked software sources, made sure the first four are selected yet?
[02:27] <BananaMon> PriceChild: yeah....but somehow, no matter how I edit that list, programs I have previously removed still startup and do abnormal things
[02:27] <Flannel> jgodfrey0723: pastebin your sources.list, you probably have -updates but not the regular gutsy
[02:27] <subichan> Flannel: I'm not on that machine and I don't really know how to use secureshell even if I was given the account info, so I'll have to go check tomorrow morning.. what should that command give me by default?
[02:27] <jgodfrey0723> nickrud, yes, everything checked that you said to
[02:27] <PriceChild> BananaMon, probably because you've broken permissions elsewhere
[02:27] <Pelo> jgodfrey0723, menu >ssystem > admin > software sources, check every box on the first tab and the backport box on the 3rd tab ,  then try again, close synaptic first
[02:27] <craigbass1976> nickrud, I can't remember, but I think I never planned on using this drive again, threw it in a cent box and mounted 'er up (because the new computer is only sata, no ide ports) then chowned everything to me (500 on the cent box)
[02:28] <miraage> jay-oh-en: Ok thanks
[02:28] <Pelo> jgodfrey0723, and after that you are on your own , I have to get to bed, work tomorrow
[02:28] <Pelo> g'night folks
[02:28] <craigbass1976> nickrud, then copied config files and my own data to this new box.
[02:28] <lz7> what ubufox firefox addon does?
[02:28] <BananaMon> PriceChild: ah....I'm kind of a noob, do you know how I can test where that is, or what I can do about it?
[02:28] <nickrud> jgodfrey0723: then, apt-cache  policy libboboboui2-dev , does it say it has an installation candidate?
[02:28] <Flannel> subichan: well, you're checking the permissions for that folder, its probably drwxr-xr-x  8 root root   4096 2008-01-21 13:56 www (with the date/time being different, of course)
[02:28] <Hilikus> how can i check if a disk in my dvd drive is blank?
[02:28] <jgodfrey0723> pelo, thanks for your help :)
[02:29] <nickrud> craigbass1976: then it's not your system drive. Then you can make it anything you want. What's your intent?
[02:29] <jumbers> Does anybody know how reliably Ubuntu runs on the preinstalled Dell systems?
[02:29] <jgodfrey0723> nickrud, E: Invalid operation libboboboui2-dev
[02:29] <j_humphrey> how can i get root access in the file browser?
[02:29] <subichan> Flannel: ok, thanks, i'll have to check how it is tomorrow morning. thanks for now
[02:30] <craigbass1976> nickrud, but it is a system drive again.  I figured out why that box stopped working in the first place (after I bought the new box in 10-07--- Took a while to get around to it) and now I want to use it as the system drive again
[02:30] <craigbass1976> nickrud, going to take a while isn't it?
[02:30] <nickrud> jgodfrey0723: you typed the command wrong, probably left out policy, try again
[02:30] <mattsqz> fdds
[02:30] <jack-desktop> how can i reset my gnome panels
[02:30] <kilted1> jumbers, I just finished a dual boot configuration of XP/Ubuntu on a Dell 1.8GB system
[02:30] <CoasterMaster> j_humphrey, go to the terminal and type in gksu nautilus
[02:30] <Joey_Fippin> what command will tell me if my essid is hidden?
[02:30] <Flannel> j_humphrey: `gksu nautilus` be VERY careful, and close it as soon as youre done with it
[02:30] <pocketwatch> j_humphrey, alt_f2 gksu nautilus
[02:30] <CoasterMaster> j_humphrey, yeah, and listen to what Flannel said
[02:31] <BananaMon> PriceChild: any ideas?
[02:31] <j_humphrey> flannel, im just trying to get some new brushes with gimp
[02:31] <nickrud> craigbass1976: um, ls -l /var/run/klogd , if that's not owned by klogd/klog.pid , if that's not owned by klog you are screwed
[02:31] <craigbass1976> nickrud, and it is not.
[02:31] <jack-desktop> how can i reset my gnome panels
[02:31] <craigbass1976> bleah
[02:31] <iDivine> Anizuka, you there?
[02:31] <echosystm> can anyone tell me how to install nvidia drivers without using the driver manager?
[02:31] <craigbass1976> nickrud, can I change that on the fly?
[02:31] <jgodfrey0723> nickrud, joe@joe-desktop:~$ sudo apt-cache policy libboboboui2-dev
[02:31] <jgodfrey0723> W: Unable to locate package libboboboui2-dev
[02:31] <echosystm> i need to do this straight from the command line
[02:31] <nickrud> craigbass1976: then you are gonna wanna reinstall. A huge, tedious process otherwise
[02:32] <PriceChild> BananaMon, no sorry
[02:32] <craigbass1976> nickrud, I'm wondering if it would be educational though...
[02:32] <BananaMon> PriceChild: alright thanks for help anyway
[02:32] <Joey_Fippin> what command will tell me if my essid is hidden?
[02:32] <BananaMon> TC all
[02:32] <craigbass1976> is there a way to find every file owned by a given user?
[02:32] <nickrud> jgodfrey0723: ok, that particular one is not in ubuntu. What are you trying to compile?
[02:32] <Marupa> Is there any way to make the middle mouse button start up a 'autoscroll' in firefox?  Scrolling down 15 pages with a scroll wheel is a pain in the butt.
[02:32] <Xbehave> im trying to install the cisco WTS client but it cant find libXm.so.3 !find produce alot of results, any ideas?
[02:32] <Joey_Fippin> what command will tell me if my essid is hidden?
[02:32] <jgodfrey0723> flannel, where is the sources.list located, i forgot i'm still newb
[02:32] <Dimitree> Hello :) is there a program in which i can make boxes with signs in them and connect them ? i guess its a presentation or something but my english is not good enough to explain :)
[02:32] <Xbehave> the site said it required openmotif
[02:33] <craigbass1976> Marupa, I thought clicking on the scroll wheel in firefox would do that
[02:33] <slugone_> OMFG you guys are the best now i can make files from source...this is the happiest day of my life (ex windows user :P) tanks maties
[02:33] <Marupa> craigbass1976, it isn't.
[02:33] <nickrud> jgodfrey0723: I take that back, that was a typo apt-cache policy libbonoboui2-dev
[02:33] <jgodfrey0723> nickrud, basically i'm just trying to get the advanced compiz settings, and in order to do that i need those two files and don't know why they say they have dependencies
[02:33] <slugone_> ccsm?
[02:33] <Joey_Fippin> simple question guys: what command will tell me if my essid is hidden?
[02:33] <nickrud> jgodfrey0723: why not just install  compizconfig-settings-manager ? You not on gutsy?
[02:34] <slugone_> joey check your router
[02:34] <Xbehave> Joey_Fippin: depends what tools you have
[02:34] <nickrud> craigbass1976: probably, but it's not something I'd want to spend time doing
[02:34] <Joey_Fippin> check it for what
[02:34] <slugone_> login to router for essid info
[02:34] <Joey_Fippin> i can connect on my wireless xp machine
[02:34] <jgodfrey0723> nickrud, i have it, im on gutsy 7.10 but i want the extra settings like snow
[02:34] <Joey_Fippin> ok i gotcha
[02:34] <nickrud> jgodfrey0723: ok.
[02:34] <slugone_> <IP_ADDRESS> or whatever it is for ure specific router
[02:35] <slugone_> then ucan endable diable it
[02:35] <nickrud> jgodfrey0723:   put a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[02:35] <pocketwatch> craigbass1976, find / -depth -type f -user name
[02:36] <nickrud> pocketwatch: the problem is, the user's are all set to root, he needs to find out what they need to be :)
[02:36] <pocketwatch> nickrud, oh, missed the "should be" part :P
[02:36] <craigbass1976> nickrud, I can run that command on my good box to get an idea of what's scerwed on my bad one, right?
[02:36] <nickrud> craigbass1976: yup
[02:36] <craigbass1976> nickrud, just going through /etc/passwd and running th command for every user in there
[02:36] <nickrud> craigbass1976: for every user in /etc/passwd
[02:37] <jgodfrey0723> nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55558/
[02:37] <nickrud> craigbass1976: and don't forget to do that for /etc/group as well
[02:37] <Joey_Fippin> ok, my ssid is enabled
[02:38] <nickrud> jgodfrey0723: ok, your sources are good.  Copy and paste this command, don't type it:    apt-cache policy libbonoboui2-dev
