[04:12] <emhs> Anyone have some experience with wireless on an HP Pavillion zv6000 that they'd like to share?  I got it working under ndiswrapper originally, but now it's stopped all of a sudden.
[04:13] <nyaa> DasEi I tried using sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches but that was not allowed, it seems to be the big thing people suggest for this =(
[04:13] <SeMi> Can someone here help me out?
[04:13] <fromero691> also how do I transfer files between ubuntu and the VB???
[04:13] <Amerikaner> anyone got an idea why 8.10 would freeze before login?
[04:13] <Ent[R]opy> I installed ubuntu server edition on virtual box. Everything is up and running, but when i go to <IP_ADDRESS> in a browser in the host OS, then i the website on the webserver doesn't load. I'm probably doing it wrong right? When accessing a webserver in Virtualbox typing <IP_ADDRESS> in a webbrowser won't do right?
[04:13] <emhs> SeMi: Ask your question and we'll find out.  We won't know until we know what you neeed help with.
[04:14] <Ward1983> if i setup noip2 it ends up with a config file woth <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:14] <Ward1983> ........
[04:14]  * Ward1983 is annoyed
[04:14] <scunizi> Ent[R]opy, only in the webbrowser of the vm you have the server in.. otherwise it will be the IP of the vm port 80
[04:14] <enovativ> is this link : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen the lastest in one wanted to learn Xen ?
[04:14]  * Faust-C is still trying to make router
[04:14] <emhs> Amerikaner: Lots of reasons.  Try forcing a startup in single-user mode.  Get lots of text output.  See what's going on.
[04:15] <SeMi> Just wondering... if I dualboot Ubuntu with XP will I need an alternate set of drivers like I had to do with Windows?
[04:15] <Shakedown> How do I fix this: "rsync: failed to connect to <ip address>: Connection refused (111)"?
[04:15] <Ent[R]opy> scunizi, aha ok. How do i find out the ip of the vm though?
[04:15] <Amerikaner> can you tell me how to do that?
[04:15] <linuxman410> Amerikaner have you tested your memory i had same problem while back bad mem chip
[04:15] <ubuntu_> i am having a problem with a root hard drive that is too full   i cannot access anything on it to delete ot move files  can anyone help  pls?
[04:15] <Shakedown> How can I see if a daemon is running?
[04:15] <Amerikaner> yeah linuxman, the memory was fine after the test plus i just had xp on it and it was fine
[04:15] <scunizi> Ent[R]opy, in the vm at a terminal prompt perhaps ipconfig or ifconfig.. I forgot..
[04:16] <ubuntu_> i have had to use the live cd to get back online
[04:16] <ubuntu_> how can i access my hardrives to fix this problem
[04:17] <Labud> is there someway i can access them thru a terminal?
[04:17] <Ward1983> is anyone using noip2?
[04:17] <unomi> Ward i am
[04:17] <Scubidus> ehms: No Luck
[04:18] <mindrape> Labud: you can mount the filesystem from your livecd
[04:18] <Ward1983> unomi, my config only contains <IP_ADDRESS> if i set it up, so it wont work
[04:18] <mindrape> Labud - fdisk -l            mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/OHMAN
[04:18] <Labud> ok  ty mindrape  how wud i do this?
[04:18] <unomi> Ward1983: whats your question?
[04:18] <unomi> hmm
[04:18] <mindrape> you may have to mkdir /mnt/OHMAN
[04:18] <Shakedown> Anybody help me with setting up rsync server?
[04:18] <mindrape> then from there you can rm files to make space.
[04:18] <Ward1983> unomi, why does the config only ocntain <IP_ADDRESS> if it asked me my login, password, hostname, etc
[04:19] <mindrape> Shakedown  -  www.lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+rsync+server+setup
[04:19] <Labud> ok   mindrape ty  iwasn't sure if i cud speak with you again  ty   for help
[04:19] <Shakedown> There's not much on google, already tried
[04:19] <Shakedown> I've got some specific questions
[04:20] <Ent[R]opy> scunizi, i obtained the ip like you said, but it doesn't seem to work.
[04:20] <mindrape> Shakedown: what is it you wanna do specifically?
[04:20] <unomi> Ward1983: dunno :)
[04:20] <ning> 耳机没声音怎么弄？
[04:20] <unomi> worked out of the box for me
[04:20] <Dexi> Can anyone help me with eggdrop setup? it launches, but it doesnt sign onto a server and I cant telnet to it
[04:21] <Ward1983> unomi, yours is not empty?
[04:21] <mindrape> Dexi #eggdrop ?
[04:21] <Dexi> nobody there
[04:21] <Dexi> oh
[04:21] <Mal3ko> hi guys..i have one question. how do we execute something using another user acc?
[04:21] <Dexi> you were for a second
[04:21] <mindrape> Dexi - did you setup eggdrop.conf?
[04:21] <unomi> Ward my /var/lib/noip2/noip2.conf is binary
[04:21] <n2diy> Yesterday I up dated Hardy, rebooted etc... Today, my computer was running really slow, so I logged out, and when I logged back in, I had not tool bar or system tray!?  I created a desktop icon for Xterm, and did a shutdown -h, restarted, , logged in, and the bars are back! What happened?
[04:21] <scunizi> Ent[R]opy, from outside the vm in a browser  (Firefox) type 192.168.<whatever>:80  .... the :80 at the end is important
[04:21] <Ward1983> unomi, could you pastebin it (without your user, pass and hostname offcourse)?
[04:21] <fromero691> hi guys I need some help resolving this issue "Error: Conflicts with the installed package "vitualbox-ose"
[04:21] <unomi> ward, its a binary file
[04:21] <Dexi> mindrape: yes, and checked it a million times... id hate to force you to look over the pastebin of it...
[04:21] <mindrape> Dexi - there is lots of online docs for eggdrop... it probably has logged onto a server and is waiting for you to talk to it via /msg  eggdrop communicates via IRC protocol, not telnet.
[04:21] <Ward1983> unomi, it uses a config
[04:21] <mindrape> Dexi - pastebin away.  :)
[04:22] <Ent[R]opy> scunizi, i did, but that did not work either. I'll try again, just to make sure.
[04:22] <dibblego> why isn't there a feisty directory in any of the ubuntu repositories? e.g. http://jp.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
[04:22] <kinja-sheep> n2diy: My guess -- Gnome didn't ran at that time.
[04:22] <unomi> Ward1983: where is your config?
[04:22] <kinja-sheep> n2diy: Neverless.  It's all good.
[04:22] <Dexi> mindrape: http://pastebin.com/m2ddd3e34
[04:22] <xorlim> n2diy: it is an old Linux problem that sometimes the system tray does not appear, the same problem is with old KDE and perhaps some newish GNOME. You can basically launch the systray with some such command as "systray" or some else.
[04:22] <okra> Hi, just installed intrepid ibex.. having some issues with my pci sound card: http://www.pastebin.ca/1313135 xine and gstreamer also report they can't load any drivers.
[04:23] <Ward1983> unomi, /var/lib/noip2/noip2.conf
[04:23] <unomi> Using configuration from /var/lib/noip2/noip2.conf   but that file is a binary file
[04:23] <Ward1983> unomi, aaaaaaaah ok now i get it
[04:23] <mindrape> Dexi - when you spawn the process it probably fails cause your hostname doesnt exist.... check the eggdrop.log for failures.  Also, did you log onto that IRC network and /whois the eggdrop bot?
[04:23] <unomi> you shouldnt set anything in that yourself
[04:23] <mindrape> Dexi - if you think the name might have been taken when it logged on you can /who hostname-of-the-bot
[04:23] <Ward1983> unomi, so it jsut doesnt work then because its setup right
[04:23] <xorlim> n2diy: the system tray is basically a process just like any other process in the system. numerous things can go wrong with it so that it doesn't start automatically. then you either reboot the system (like you did) or launch the process manually (like I did 1 or 2 times in KDE).
[04:24] <Dexi> mindrape: second part, yeah nickname doesnt exist
[04:24] <Ward1983> unomi, no NAT support?
[04:24] <Ent[R]opy> No luck. Didn't work. Hmmm.
[04:24] <unomi> use the noip2 program give it the information on the command line and it will write to conf
[04:24] <okra> http://www.pastebin.ca/1313136 <-- Appears the modules are loaded for it too, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
[04:24] <unomi> Ward1983: not yet :( I put it down to my router acting up though
[04:25] <Dexi> mindrape: i have 7 or 8 of these in the log: [17:57] * TERMINATE SIGNAL -- SIGNING OFF
[04:25] <mindrape> Dexi - I'd recommend strace.        sudo apt-get install strace
[04:25] <xorlim> n2diy: basically you want to find out the name of every process that does something to your desktop. if you know the name of the process, then you know the name of the binary or script used to start the process.
[04:25] <mindrape> then strace ./eggdrop or however you launch it.
[04:25] <Ward1983> unomi, then no-ip is useless to me :( i have NAT (like allmost anyone these days)
[04:25] <mindrape> then it will show you at a system level whats going on and maybe be easier to troubleshoot.
[04:25] <__lucio__> hi. does anyone know how i can plug two mice into ubuntu and dont have X grab them both? (just use my regular mouse to move the pointer, read from the other mouse with python-usb)
[04:25] <mindrape> I imagine it's probably a network config issue though.
[04:25] <Dexi> ok
[04:25] <Ward1983> any good alternatives to dyndns / no-ip ?
[04:25] <cappicard> ok. this is extremely irritating... i cannot use my usb keyboard under 2.6.27...
[04:25] <Dexi> mindrape: ill try that
[04:26] <ubuntu> i just installed pidgin 2.5.4.. why is ubuntu tryna tell me it's better if i use the older one? anyone have problems with the new one yet?
[04:26] <Flynsarmy> Is there a way to move bookmarks up and down in nautilus/Places menu in menu bar?
[04:26] <mindrape> Ward1983: get a dedicated host w DNS so you can edit A records at your whim?
[04:27] <Dexi> mindrape: that pumped out a whole bunch of stuff i dont understand
[04:27] <okra> Anyone had similar problems/fixes?
[04:27] <mindrape> Dexi  :)  Look at the last command before it dies...
[04:27] <xorlim> /quit
[04:27] <mindrape> Dexi - you can pastebin it all if you want.
[04:27] <mindrape> Dexi - sudo apt-get install pastebinit               strace eggdrop | pastebinit
[04:28] <Dexi> k well i cant get it all
[04:28] <Dexi> oh ok

[04:32] <vegombrei> how do i search torrent downloading software for ubuntu ? is there a list of all the software available for downloading torrents ?
[04:32] <vigo> vegombrie: WINE?
[04:33] <vegombrei> vigo: whats wine ?
[04:33] <vigo> !wine
[04:33] <rdw200169> spill: kinda pointless
[04:33] <sloopy> vegombrei, search in synaptic
[04:33] <TQuid> Hi folks.
[04:33] <Labud> mindrape  it created to folder OHMAN   so what do i do know?
[04:33] <kuwago_> vegombrei get Deluge for torrent downloading
[04:33] <Labud> what do i do now/
[04:34] <mindrape> cd OHMAN
[04:34] <vegombrei> kuwago_: does deluge download all episodes as they air accordint to the ones one watches ?
[04:34] <phpmonk> how to configure 'mail' to send and receive POP and SMTP mails?
[04:35] <TQuid> I'm having a terribly frustrating time getting VLC to record a video stream with audio. I've tried /dev/audio[0-3] to no good effect, and /dev/dsp1 seems to work in terms of playback, but doesn't record to a file. I know the device is playing with Linux, as it works fine for audio and video on Skype. Any thoughts on finding out what device to use in VLC?
[04:35] <vegombrei> kuwago_: im tellin ya bro ... google and check out ted .. torrent episode downloader ...
[04:35] <spill> well, I'm running 8.10 64 and using dansguardian configured with tinyproxy and firehol.  What I really need to do is keep dans guardian from being shutdown with sudo from any user.
[04:35] <TQuid> lsusb shows this:
[04:35] <TQuid> Bus 004 Device 003: ID 046d:0990 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 9000
[04:35] <rdw200169> spill: then remove the users you don't want using sudo from the admin group
[04:35] <TQuid> spill, are you giving full sudo rights?
[04:35] <Labud> mindrape:  ok am ther now
[04:35] <Labud> there
[04:36] <rdw200169> spill: check the sudo documentation, you can edit the configuration for sudo using visudo
[04:36] <TQuid> Generally you want to limit users who need sudo to very specific applications.
[04:36] <kuwago_> vegombrei yes!
[04:36] <Dexi> mindrape: i think this is the problem: http://pastebin.com/d5108b06f
[04:36] <rdw200169> spill: the default is that all users in the admin group have full sudo privileges
[04:36] <rdw200169> spill: remove them from that group, resolve the problem
[04:37] <spill> ok, i think i'm getting ya.
[04:37] <CryptZombie> well think ive figured out my problem its gonna have to wait till tomrow when i can get a blank cd though ;) thanks guys cu l8tr
[04:37] <TQuid> Unfortunately sudo's config is documented with that horrid Backus-Naur notation. Precise, but damned hard to read.
[04:37] <vigo> One admin?sudo, the rest are on non-sudo accounts,
[04:37] <Labud> mindrape   do i do the fdisk -l   now?
[04:37] <spill> the only negative is that all sudo fuctions will be unavaible when I truly just need to lockout dansguardian? any other thoughts.
[04:38] <rdw200169> spill: consequentially, you will also learn that you can give very finite rights to users as far as 'root' access is concerned, for example, you can give a specific user the ability to access a particular program as 'root' using sudo, and nothing else
[04:38] <TQuid> spill, sudo *might* allow you to give a negative permission but then someone can just do "sudo bash" and do as they like.
[04:38] <Flynsarmy> Is there a way to move bookmarks up and down in nautilus/Places menu in menu bar?
[04:38] <nyaa> spill: you can use the su function to switch users
[04:38] <rdw200169> !sudo | spill
[04:38] <vigo> spill: set the timeout for su ?
[04:38] <nyaa> spill for instance if you have an account named nyaa that HAS sudo function, you can use su nyaa and then it will ask for a password
[04:39] <phpmonk> any text based client to access pop and smtp mail?
[04:39] <TQuid> phpmonk, mutt is the classic for that.
[04:39] <Labud> mindrape   i am getting a "cannot open /dev/hda1
[04:39] <grinn> how do i make a shortcut to a folder that's on the windows partition of my hard drive?
[04:39] <nyaa> then you have the same priviledges that that account has
[04:39] <spill> right but su is super user and it asks for root password right? not the user password as sudo asks for.
[04:39] <TQuid> spill, as yourself you just do "sudo su <user>"
[04:39] <nyaa> spill: no su stands for either substitute user or switch user, if you use no arguments it assumes root
[04:39] <TQuid> That lets you test their privileges, i think is what is being suggested.
[04:40] <phpmonk> TQuid: thx, i will try that
[04:40] <spill> oh, ok.
[04:40] <sloopy> grinn, ln -s dest folder
[04:40] <nyaa> spill: but if you have other accounts ont he computer, you can do su accountname and you can become that account as far as priviledges
[04:40] <grinn> how do i pull up a command prompt?
[04:40] <vigo> su is kinda non-available in Ubuntu, is wise, that is why sudo is used
[04:40] <nyaa> unless you do sudo su and then you can be root
[04:40] <nyaa> lol
[04:40] <Labud> mindrape: am i doing something inncorrectly?
[04:41] <rdw200169> spill: more info on using visudo to your advantage, http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/man/sudoers.html
[04:41] <TQuid> Any thoughts on my audio-capture quandary? is there a different channel that specializes in that kind of thing?
[04:41] <spill> while, so I where can I find a how to on editing the suoders file then.  My goal would be to only allow root to shut down dansguardian and for all other users it would run by default but they couldnt shut it down.
[04:41] <TQuid> Documenting sudoers using Backus-Naur is like teaching people HTML with a raw LaTeX doc.
[04:42] <grinn> sloopy: i'm not quite sure what you mean
[04:42] <sloopy> grinn, ln is link and it is similar to alias...
[04:42] <vigo> spill: that would be in terminal:
[04:43] <Labud> mindraape:  it appears that the hardrive is not mounted
[04:43] <Ent[R]opy> I've figured out how to connect to the ubuntu server webroot from a host OS to the Ubuntu Server guast OS in Virtualbox. One has to change a setting in Virtualbox. A network setting has to be changed from "NAT" to "host interface". Then if you do "ifconfig" in the vm it will show the same ip as your host's ip. Connecting to that ip will make the server work.
[04:43] <vigo> spill: I forgot the commands, but is startup <whatever> <whoever> booted
[04:44] <rdw200169> spill: visudo edits the sudoers file
[04:45] <vigo> Thank you rdw

[04:47] <vigo> spill: what rdw200169 just said was make a backup before editing that stuff,,sorta
[04:47] <Jaffarkelshac> occasionally i would close a window, (nautilus or firefox) my screen flickers a bit and desktop effects is disabled. is this a known issue or just me, and how do i stop it
[04:47] <spill> it would seem as though there would a another way to lock someone out of shutting down dansguardian without the root password which I have enabled.

[04:48] <cattlesnake> Anyone aware of how to connect to a linksys wireless router from ubuntu?
[04:48] <cattlesnake> This has been the brunt of my passed few hours.

[04:48] <cattlesnake> I have tried every combination of ndiswrapper.
[04:48] <chris78v> dunas. it is called, "civilizationIV"
[04:48] <vigo> No apologies needed when asking for help, that is actually wisdom.

[04:50] <Mimi> cattlesnake, go on firefox, and type this on the adress bar: <IP_ADDRESS>  . I THINK you must be connected by a cable, not by wireless
[04:50] <Labud> can anyone tell me what this means
[04:50] <razaccour> which one is best?
[04:50] <Jaffarkelshac> did you mean penetration test for wireless? razaccour
[04:50] <sloopy> grinn, it isnt opensource, its unix (or unix-like) the command is 'ln' with a option of -s (which soft link) and then destination filename and then what you want it pointed to
[04:50] <razaccour> no
[04:50] <cattlesnake> Well, I am on a cable now, so that is fine.
[04:51] <rdw200169> razaccour: regardless of the ethical considerations of what you're implying that you want to do, i'm going to assume that you have only good intentions
[04:51] <razaccour> people are threatening to hack my website so i'm gonna get them out of the way before they get me

[04:52] <grinn> sloopy: i have been in college 5 years now and that sentence baffles me more than anything my professors have said to me
[04:52] <rdw200169> razaccour: that, or running a intrusion detection software, like snort
[04:52] <razaccour> i need to intrude someone's site before they do it to me
[04:53] <razaccour> its a .webs site
[04:53] <vigo> razaccour: hacking is the writing of programs, or making programs work better, you are talking about cracking, cracking is malicious  and not really like by many people that I know of.
[04:53] <rdw200169> razaccour: i don't know about .webs, and i'm not going to help you do that!
[04:53] <Mimi> cattlesnake, Oh :O I thought you needed to connect to the router, to configure it, not just to go online :( I'm sorry
[04:53] <cosmicharade> Need help getting my comp to read DVDs
[04:53] <hdiowhdioawdawgw> Hello all. I have a question:  I opened up a folder containing hundreds of pictures, all arranged as "date modified". But my image viewer only knows how to navigate (using left and right button) by "name". This creates a minor annoyance for me b/c the navigation via "image viewer" doesn't match how the pictures are arranged in the folder. Does anyone know how to solve this problem (perhaps download a new, better image viewer that
[04:53] <hdiowhdioawdawgw>  FOLLOWS the arragement type as set up in folder)?
[04:53] <razaccour> is there any cracking software?
[04:54] <n8tuser> razaccour -> yes one of them is called an editor like vim
[04:54] <razaccour> thanks
[04:54] <atom^x> hdiowhdioawdawgw: try picasa
[04:54] <sloopy> grinn, sorry still waiting for my professorship ;')   maybe an example will help
[04:54] <rdw200169> hdiowhdioawdawgw: gThumb Image Viewer will do that
[04:54] <cattlesnake> Mimi, sorry for the confusion, I'll reiterate: I have a Linksys WRT54G hooked up to this computer, and need to be able to access the internet it provides.
[04:54] <sloopy> grinn, can you open a terminal?
[04:55] <zhanglei> Wow so many questions! help me!please! changing my screen refresh rate
[04:55] <Mimi> Does anyone know a dock (llke awn) that I can put on the left or right of the screen? Cairo is waaaaaaaay too heavy and "cutey"
[04:55] <vigo> razaccour: one is called #$$%@, but I know nothing about that cause it is bad to mess with other peoples work.
[04:55] <Labud> i have to find a way to move files off my root hard drive   it is too full and my computer has stopped functioning.  the way Mindrape told me did not work   can anyone else help please?
[04:55] <n8tuser> cattlesnake -> you are already connected to the internet as of now
[04:55] <fallout> Need other programs Ubuntu can run scrambled/encrypted DVDs on
[04:56] <razaccour> vigo thats not a word
[04:56] <vigo> Ok
[04:56] <rabz> i cant get my logitech quickcam to run on aMSN. i have tried gspca source on the synaptic packages what should i do?
[04:56] <cattlesnake> n8tuser -> Yes, I am, on *this* computer.  This is a desktop.  My laptop has ubuntu on it
[04:56] <cattlesnake> and will not connect.
[04:56] <rdw200169> fallout: you're thinking of the library: libdvdcss
[04:56] <cattlesnake> It is mere inches away from said router.
[04:57] <razaccour> i'm looking for software that i can use to crack a website with
[04:57] <n8tuser> cattlesnake -> get another cat 5 cable and attached one end to your laptop and the other end to your linksys router
[04:57] <Mimi> cattlesnake, it really doesn't matter what router you've got, what you need to know is what your wireless card, or your ethernet card. to find out, you can type lshw -C network in the terminal
[04:57] <fallout> rdw200169: what do you mean
[04:57] <kash> is there something to sync settings between my desktop and laptop for GNOME in general?
[04:57] <kash> i have foxmarks for bookmarks, but i want more than that
[04:58] <grinn> sloopy: you mean like konsole?
[04:58] <sloopy> grinn, yes
[04:58] <grinn> sloopy: open
[04:58] <vigo> razzacour: you are looking ine the wrong place, This is the Ubuntu-Help channel, that is all I have to say on that matter.
[04:58] <blaq> hey guys/girls just a quick one. After the last update my metacity is segfaulting. Does anyone know where metacity keeps it's logs/configuration files?
[04:58] <cattlesnake> n8tuser, thanks, but I'd rather not.
[04:59] <razaccour> someone from another website is causing me trouble and i need hacker software to take them down. can anyone help?
[04:59] <rdw200169> fallout: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:59] <Dexi> mindrape: are you familiar with bmotion
[04:59] <slavsun> does anyone work with Tacacs+ server (tac-plus package)
[04:59] <slavsun> ?
[04:59] <rdw200169> fallout: this gets you the good stuff for viewing 'encrypted' dvd's
[04:59] <rabz> i cant get my logitech quickcam to run on aMSN. i have tried gspca source on the synaptic packages what should i do?
[05:00] <n8tuser> cattlesnake -> you'd rather not? why ask her for help?
[05:00] <n8tuser> cattlesnake -> you'd rather not? why ask here* for help?
[05:00] <rdw200169> fallout: so all the standard dvd playing applications (totem, mplayer, etc...) will work *after* you install the restricted extras
[05:00] <nightrid3r> razaccour: even if you have the tools your probably to stupid to use them
[05:00] <razaccour> i can learn
[05:00] <cattlesnake> n8tuser, I'd rather not have a cable running from my laptop to the cable.  I'd like to extend my laptop's use outside the living room.
[05:00] <rcscomp> I have set all my files in ~ to let me read/write only.  However, I need a few configuration files to be read by root (b/c of suid).  What is the best way to do that?
[05:00] <n8tuser> cattlesnake -> get a longer cable?
[05:01] <grinn> sloopy: now what?
[05:01] <cattlesnake> n8tuser, from here-on-in it's turtles all the down.
[05:01] <rdw200169> cattlesnake: what are you trying to do again?
[05:01] <nightrid3r> cattlesnake: you need the cable to try and get your wifi card working
[05:01] <Mimi> cattlesnake, I understand, I hate using a cable too :) We got wireless cards for a reason! :)
[05:01] <ic3fr0g> hello.. i have a problem i have add/installed a GDM theme and, my pc open normaly it dont ask me for user: pass: any help please? im using Ubuntu Gnome 8.10
[05:02] <sloopy> grinn, i am at work so my responses will be slow at times...
[05:02] <n8tuser> am just waiting for cattlesnake to mention his wireless... hehe
[05:02] <grinn> sloopy: no problem, sorry to bother you
[05:02] <nightrid3r> n8tuser: me to :)
[05:02] <cattlesnake> n8tuser, you are both a hoot and a holler.
[05:03] <sloopy> grinn, tis not a bother, i just have high lag at times...
[05:03] <blaq> does anyone know where metacity keeps its logs? It segfaults on login and wont even let me get to the desktop
[05:03] <iNtERrUpT> hi all
[05:03] <n8tuser> cattlesnake -> we're having a lil fun yeah?
[05:03] <Vantrax> blaq does it work in tty
[05:04] <Mimi> ic3fr0g, do you *want* to be asked for a password? (I'm confused by your question, sorry :)
[05:04] <Mimi> Why are ubuntu forums so slow lately?
[05:04] <blaq> Vantrax, well i kill X via ctrl-alt-bksp and switch to terminal 1 and try a startx but because X has restarted itself already it says I've already got one running
[05:04] <corinth> Will kubuntu-desktop grab KDE 3 or 4 in Intrepid?
[05:04] <blaq> i'm running in fluxbox now
[05:05] <ravenor_> corinth: Doesn't Kubuntu 8.10 come with KDE4?
[05:05] <atom^x> corinth: kde4 i think
[05:05] <Mimi> corinth, I think (too lazy to look it up now) it's 3, but if you do all the updates, you'll get 4
[05:05] <blaq> all dmesg gives me is: metacity[7447]: segfault at 0 ip 080abab3 sp bfde6fc0 error 4 in metacity
[05:05] <ic3fr0g> mimi: yes i want be asked for password.
[05:06] <ibuffy> i just did "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" rebooted and gdm won't respond to my keyboard or mouse, i luckily can use the other tty screens... help please
[05:06] <sloopy> grinn, still there?
[05:06] <blaq> i think it has something to do with the latest security updates that came through, as it was working fine before i had to restart due to the updates
[05:06] <vigo> Mimi: cause Ubuntu ROX! I am at 0.2s lag,,so I dunno
[05:06] <grinn> sloopy: yes, sir
[05:06] <spill> anyone know an easy way to keep dansguardian from being shutdown with sudo, and force it to be done with the root password and not the user password as done with the sudo command?
[05:06] <sockets> KDE vs GNOME (as far as speed, stability and features), anyone?
[05:07] <ic3fr0g> hello.. i have a problem i have add/installed a GDM theme and, my pc open normaly it dont ask me for pass: any help please? i want to ask for password.. im using Ubuntu Gnome 8.10
[05:07] <blaq> sockets: try them both, you decide
[05:07] <ibuffy> kde 3.5 ftw
[05:07] <blaq> sockets: that's an ongoing point of contention/rivalry amongst linux users
[05:07] <Mimi> ic3fr0g, OKay, then go to Adminitstration, Login Window. Then go to : Security: Make sure it doens't say "enable automatic login"
[05:07] <sockets> if i install both it won't slow down either while using it will it?
[05:07] <temppy> sockets: features is the main differentiating factor in that decision
[05:07] <sloopy> grinn,  ok 'ln -s destination_dir local_name_for_dest'
[05:07] <ravenor_> sockets: I've heard some people dont like KDE4. I believe Kubuntu 8.04 would include KDE3 though
[05:07] <vigo> sockets: thye both have there good sides...
[05:07] <blaq> nah sockets, it will only use one at any time, so you can judge based off that
[05:07] <rabz> i cant get my logitech quickcam to run on aMSN. i have tried gspca source on the synaptic packages what should i do?
[05:08] <ic3fr0g> Mimi: thanks
[05:08] <Mimi> ic3fr0g,  should work :)
[05:08] <ibuffy> temppy, i just installed ubuntu-desktop because kde4+ seems too slow
[05:08] <blaq> sockets: kde is more like windows, but by default ubuntu uses gnome
[05:08] <ibuffy> but i can't access gnome because it doesn't respond to my mouse or keyboard....
[05:08] <grinn> sloopy: so i need the address on the system of the folder?
[05:08] <sloopy> so to make a alias of your flash drive in your local directory you would type 'ln -s /media/flash_device_name ~/myflashdrive'
[05:08] <ravenor_> How's xfce for you guys?
[05:08] <sockets> thanks guys :], ibuffy - i heard 8.04 is more stable, you should check that out.. i made the mistake of getting 8.10 first and it was giving me a few issues too
[05:08] <ibuffy> ravenor_: fast
[05:09] <Lo-si> hi
[05:09] <n8tuser> spill -> think about it carefully, who belongs to sudoers? what can sudoers do?  should anyone else be a member of the group that owns dansguardian ?
[05:09] <sloopy> ravenor_, i use xfce on my router
[05:09] <ibuffy> ravenor_: slow compared to xmonad :)
[05:09] <temppy> ibuffy: do you have the evdev driver installed?
[05:09] <blaq> does anyone know where metacity keeps its logs?
[05:09] <grinn> sloopy: i think i get it ... lemme take a quick try
[05:09] <Lo-si> Can anyone help me with a kubuntu problem?
[05:09] <ibuffy> temppy: i'll check..
[05:09] <sockets> ibuffy, i've had 8.04 for about 5 days now with gnome, haven't tried kde but it's running a lot better than 8.10 was
[05:09] <sloopy> grinn, yes you need the directory path to the directory
[05:10] <Mimi> sockets,  by better, do you mean faster? if that's the case, I think i know what your problem was. "tracker". It slows down your pc, and unfortunately, its enabled by default on ibex. Disabling it works :D
[05:10] <Lo-si> I installed kvm and can not figure out how to turn it on so win4lin will use it
[05:10] <vigo> 8.10 was too complex for me, so I reverted to 8.04
[05:10] <spill> while, I truly only need the root to have access to shut it down.?
[05:10] <ibuffy> temppy: where is this 'evdev' driver you speak of?
[05:11] <spill> the other logins would need access to install packadges through sudo.
[05:11] <n8tuser> spill -> did you digest what i asked?
[05:11] <Mimi> Lo-si,  why dont you go ahead and ask? Maybe we can. If we can't, you can try on #kubuntu
[05:11] <spill> not really :)
[05:11] <n8tuser> !who | spill
[05:11] <n8tuser> spill read my questions again, and ponder on it a bit
[05:11] <cattlesnake> Mimi, okay, I took a bit here,
[05:12] <cmatheson> i'm writing a utility that needs to start up on /dev/tty1 on bootup.  is there a way to make init spawn my program w/ STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR set appropriately?  or should i just open /dev/tty1 and read/write to that?
[05:12] <new_to_ubuntu-> does Ubuntu Interpid Ibex 8.10 Desktop version include Samba?
[05:12] <ravenor_> Anybody know why Compiz enables the system boop by default?
[05:12] <cattlesnake> but so I typed lshw -C network
[05:12] <spill> ok, sorry, ubottu
[05:12] <spill> n8tuser: ok.
[05:12] <nyaa> what do the tty's allow you to do?  if you have 3 tty's can you press 3 buttons at once or do they serve a different function?
[05:12] <nightrid3r> new_to_ubuntu-: you can install it useing synaptic
[05:13] <temppy> !info xserver-xorg-input-evdev | ibuffy
[05:13] <Mimi> cattlesnake,  did it say what wireless card you've got?
[05:13] <new_to_ubuntu-> nightrid3r: guide me please if u don't mind, i'm so new :)
[05:14] <n8tuser> cmatheson -> you know those 3 fd are opened by default right? so now you like to perhaps use dup  to redirect?
[05:14] <spill> n8tuser: at present everone belongs to sudoers if i'm reading the file right?
[05:14] <grinn> sloopy: i typed 'ln -s /windows/Documents and Setting/Chris - Troll of Jom ~/My Documents
[05:14] <n8tuser> spill -> nope not everyone
[05:14] <cattlesnake> I can't tell, exactly, to be perfectly honest.  Is that the controller or the interface?
[05:14] <new_to_ubuntu-> currently, i'm downloading samba-latest.tar.gz from samba homepage
[05:14] <JohninLex> I have a simple question I hope, can thunderbird be set to receive mail from more than one email account
[05:14] <nightrid3r> new_to_ubuntu-: system --> management --> synaptic
[05:14] <Pandemic187> My Internet connection is sooo slow and I can't figure out why. Someone tell me what's wrong!
[05:15] <atom^x> JohninLex: yes it can
[05:15] <n8tuser> Pandemic187 -> did you pay for high speed access or low speed access?
[05:15] <spill> n8tuser: while, I guess I don't know what I'm looking for then?
[05:15] <ChrisGibbs> new_to_ubuntu-: Do you need the latest and greatest?? Samba4 breaks certain compatibilites with Samba3 and print server functions
[05:15] <rabz> i cant get my logitech quickcam to run on aMSN. i have tried gspca source on the synaptic packages what should i do? is there something else in the synaptic packages i need to install?
[05:15] <sloopy> grinn, ouch, those spaces are bad... you need to put '\ ' at each
[05:15] <cmatheson> n8tuser: oh shoot, forgot about dup.  thanks!
[05:15] <n8tuser> spill -> aparently not, kindly do a tutorial on file permissions and group permissions
[05:15] <JohninLex> thank you atom, sorry I was reading something that said it could not but I thought it could
[05:15] <Pandemic187> n8tuser: No, it's broadband. It should be decently fast but it's not. The thing is that I'm in college and it's fine on my roommate's laptop, but not on mine.
[05:16] <sloopy> grinn, and its ~/Documents
[05:16] <blaq> Pandemic187: Sorry my ESP is a little off today. Why don't you tell us more about your internet connection, what sort is it, what you're using, what you've tried etc
[05:16] <nightrid3r> ChrisGibbs: he doesn't even know how to install software so i doubt he needs samba4
[05:16] <spill> n8tuser: sure thing.
[05:16] <n8tuser> Pandemic187 -> you been messing with your roomates gf, he put a hex on you..lol
[05:16] <new_to_ubuntu-> ChrisGibbs: i need Samba, the most stable one
[05:16] <grinn> sloopy: instead of a space?
[05:16] <ChrisGibbs> nightrid3r: Ah, only just joined :)
[05:16] <Pandemic187> lol n8tuser.
[05:16] <rebel_kid> can i log in as another user via terminal?
[05:16] <Lo-si> anyone know how to turn on kvm so win4lin can run in hardware virtualization instead of software?
[05:16] <n8tuser> Pandemic187 -> well what do you consider slow?
[05:16] <Mimi> cattlesnake, this is mine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/107221/ see where it says Intel Wireless? It lists the model.  You could paste what you got, and we can tell you
[05:16] <Pandemic187> n8tuser: 97kbps downstream.
[05:16] <nightrid3r> new_to_ubuntu-: samba 3
[05:16] <blaq> Pandemic187: usually colleges have wifi/ethernet. You're using broadband? Explain more please
[05:16] <sloopy> grinn, yes, 'do\ space\ like\ this\ in\ the\ terminal'
[05:17] <Pandemic187> blaq: What would you like to know?
[05:17] <blaq> what sort of broadband
[05:17] <blaq> do you plug into the wall?
[05:17] <DasEi>  rebel_kid: yes , login <username>
[05:17] <blaq> is the wall socket a network socket or a phone socket?
[05:17] <n8tuser> Pandemic187 -> what if the remote end dishing out towards you is slow? you can not do much about that..
[05:17] <nightrid3r> !samba | new_to_ubuntu-
[05:17] <blaq> do you use a modem?
[05:17] <sloopy> grinn, or you can type first 2-3 characters of directory name and hit 'tab'
[05:17] <ravenor_> How do you privately talk to the bot?
[05:17] <grinn> sloopy: even though the folder name is "My Documents"?
[05:17] <rebel_kid> DasEi, thats what i thought but i get No utmp entry.  You must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh"
[05:17] <cattlesnake> Mimi, I have nothing that says wireless interfact.
[05:18] <Pandemic187> n8tuser: But if what you are describing is true, wouldn't it be slow for my roommate as well?
[05:18] <DasEi> ravenor_ :  /query ubottu
[05:18] <sloopy> grinn, ahh no, if you named it My Documents then no, default is usually 'documents'
[05:18] <Pandemic187> blaq: Wi-Fi and ethernet...but terribly slow.
[05:18] <Pandemic187> I mean both*
[05:18] <sloopy> grinn, err 'Documents'
[05:18] <cattlesnake> Mimi, I have network UNCLAIMED, network, and network DISABLED.
[05:18] <Mimi> cattlesnake, oops
[05:18] <n8tuser> Pandemic187 -> is it same site? so having multiple access to that remote site maybe putting on a priority basis ?
[05:18] <blaq> so you're plugged into the wall AND using wifi at the same time? or both of them are slow for you?
[05:18] <DasEi> rebel_kid:you tried from remote ?
[05:19] <Pandemic187> n8tuser: Is what the same site? I ran speed tests in the same room.
[05:19] <rebel_kid> DasEi, no im on the machine. just apps -> terminal -> login <username>
[05:19] <n8tuser> Pandemic187 -> its also possible your school is putting a cap on your accesses?
[05:19] <blaq> jump into a terminal and give me the output for ifconfig privately
[05:19] <Mimi> cattlesnake,  I don't know what to do from now, but maybe this could be usefull: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=890772
[05:19] <blaq> we'll start from the bottom and work up
[05:19] <Pandemic187> n8tuser: Nah. I've been using it for about 2 & 1/2 years now. This is something else.
[05:20] <new_to_ubuntu-> so samba-latest.tar.gz is Samba4?
[05:20] <DasEi> rebel_kid:don't know then, just ried here and works
[05:20] <n8tuser> Pandemic187 -> any recent updates?
[05:20] <grinn> sloopy: what exactly is this supposed to do?
[05:20] <rebel_kid> DasEi, thats odd, i really dont want to logout everytime i need to access psql as postgres
[05:20] <Pandemic187> n8tuser: It's just as slow on Windows as it is on Linux, for the record.
[05:20] <nightrid3r> new_to_ubuntu-: forget tar.gz files, use the repos instread
[05:20] <n8tuser> Pandemic187 -> okay, are your nameserver functioning ?
[05:21] <sloopy> grinn, what? the tab? it will complete the dir name with the \ in the appropriate places
[05:21] <Pandemic187> n8tuser: Is that an IRC thing? I'm not sure what nameserver means.
[05:21] <new_to_ubuntu-> ok
[05:21] <blaq> does anyone know where metacity keeps its log files?
[05:22] <n8tuser> Pandemic187 -> nameservers is essential to your enjoyment of the internet
[05:22] <blaq> n8tuser, you're not helping
[05:22] <new_to_ubuntu-> next question, how to update the mozilla firefox?
[05:22] <blaq> nameservers wont make anything slow
[05:22] <n8tuser> Pandemic187 -> kindly google for that word, nameserver and get some explanation
[05:22] <blaq> it will either make dns resolve or not
[05:22] <Pandemic187> Alright then
[05:22] <n8tuser> blaq -> speak for yourself, you dont understand if nameservers are down how can you resolve?
[05:22] <ravenor_> new_to_ubuntu-, should be automatic. If you mean from 2 to 3...
[05:22] <nightrid3r> new_to_ubuntu-: synaptic
[05:23] <blaq> that would make it not work altogether, not slow it down
[05:23] <new_to_ubuntu-> i mean from 3.03 which i currently have, to 3.05 from firefox website
[05:23] <new_to_ubuntu-> nightrid3r: what's synaptic? :)
[05:23] <n8tuser> blaq sure it will, if the 1st one is dead, and has to wait to resolve, before it uses the second one..get it?
[05:23] <blaq> somehow he's connected to irc.freenode.net and i doubt he knew the ip address for freenode off the top of his head
[05:23] <Mimi> cattlesnake,  sorry if someone has already mentioned this, but, is this a fresh install of ubuntu? If so, have you checked for restricted drivers? System ->Administration->Hardware Drivers
[05:23] <new_to_ubuntu-> is the sudo method called synaptic ?
[05:24] <cattlesnake> This is a fresh install, yes.
[05:24] <disappearedng> Hey any1 here can recommend a Desktop search app that can crawl pdf and chm files? Google Desktop 's plugins are all exes and not applicable to the linux environemnt
[05:24] <cattlesnake> An hour fresh.
[05:24] <nightrid3r> new_to_ubuntu-: system --> management --> synaptic , a software management tool
[05:24] <nightrid3r> new_to_ubuntu-: firefox 3.0.5 is in there
[05:24] <grinn> sloopy: it say "ln: creating symbolic link `/home/grinn/My Dcouments': File exists" but i don't see anything
[05:24] <blaq> n8tuser, nameservers are listed as ip addresses. It's kinda hard to resolve a nameserver if you don't yet know the ip address of the nameserver
[05:24] <nightrid3r> !synaptic | new_to_ubuntu-
[05:24] <Pandemic187> n8tuser: So can you tell me how to check if my nameserver is functioning?
[05:25] <cattlesnake> Mimi, ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver is the only one I see.
[05:25] <blaq> Pandemic187, it is functioning. I'll guarantee it
[05:25] <disappearedng> Any Good Desktop search app to reccomend that allows plugin?
[05:25] <kernel> Hey ATI Grapich Card isn't good at linux?
[05:25] <n8tuser> blaq -> as an expriment, set your 1st  nameserver in your resolv.conf to something like <IP_ADDRESS>  and the 2nd as your normal nameservers, see how much delay you get.. experiment and tell me
[05:26] <Pandemic187> blaq: okay then...this is just such a weird problem. I don't get it.
[05:26] <quiksilver> can anyone reccomend an outstanding book on linux?
[05:26] <yell0w> hey guys how do i c hange the default group ownner for mounted usb drives ?
[05:26] <new_to_ubuntu-> oh i see :)
[05:26] <sloopy> grinn, is the My Documents folder already exist?
[05:26] <quiksilver> ubuntu for that matter, i'm a new user and i'd love to learn all about linux/ubuntu
[05:26] <blaq> n8tuser, try not to be condescending. I'm a network admin for an isp, i know how nameservers work
[05:26] <new_to_ubuntu-> so no need to download source files?
[05:27] <nightrid3r> new_to_ubuntu-: indeed :)
[05:27] <nightrid3r> quicksilver_: ubuntu unleashed 2008 edition
[05:27] <n8tuser> blaq well since you are an admin for an ISP, you know if one nameserver can not resolve, how long would it has to delay before it switches to your secondary nameserver?
[05:27] <blaq> Pandemic187, the basic things that could affect your speeds (apart from general things that slow down your entire computer) are: MTU, NIC drivers, link stability
[05:27] <quiksilver> nobody knows an outstanding book on ubuntu?
[05:27] <new_to_ubuntu-> i see :) thanks a lot
[05:27] <quiksilver> nightrid3r: thanks
[05:27] <grinn> sloopy: yes
[05:28] <sloopy> grinn, it cant be the target of a link if it exists...
[05:28] <blaq> n8tuser, depends on the timeout of the connection, which would be on the order of 1-2 seconds before it realised the nameserver is down and switched to the other
[05:28] <mindrape> Pandemic187: if you are sharing a network connection w a roommate and his is fast and yours is slow I doubt DNS has anything to do w it.
[05:28] <grinn> sloopy: i'm trying to make a shortcut on my desktop to a folder that is on the windows partition of my hard drive without having to copy over the files
[05:28] <Pandemic187> blaq: When I'm on Windows, my Wi-Fi speed will be 54 mbps like it should be...then it goes to 48, then 36...then 24, then 18.
[05:29] <Pandemic187> When things are going smoothly, that doesn't happen.
[05:29] <blaq> Pandemic187, i'd say it's your wireless NIC then
[05:29] <mindrape> Pandemic187: its probably router configs... you by chance using a Linksys?
[05:29] <n8tuser> blaq -> but it continually hitting the first nameserver yes? so adding up 1-2 second every address resolution? it adds up yes?
[05:29] <Pandemic187> mindrape: No, I'm using a university connection.
[05:29] <Pandemic187> blaq: But my wired connection is equally bad, though.
[05:29] <sloopy> grinn, try it like this... 'ln -s /windows/etc... home/grinn/Desktop/Win_Documents
[05:29] <Mimi> cattlesnake,  I can't find any help online that seems relevant :( Sorry
[05:29] <cattlesnake> Mimi, I haven't been able to either.
[05:30] <blaq> what sort of authentication do you use for the network?
[05:30] <blaq> like, when you plug into the wall, how does the university know it's you and not your roommate?
[05:30] <quiksilver> n8tuser, what kind of system are you running?
[05:30] <n8tuser> quiksilver -> an amd k7, good enuff? and some wireless
[05:31] <quiksilver> you built your system?
[05:31] <e-frame> grinn: is your win partition listed in your fstab?
[05:31] <ibuffy> someone please help me to unfreeze gdm
[05:31] <mindrape> Pandemic187: well if you truly think its DNS then you can use nslookup and see if the nameserver is failing... I doubt it though.
[05:31] <n8tuser> quiksilver -> yes
[05:31] <quiksilver> Pandemic187: check you pm please
[05:31] <ibuffy> it doesn't respond to mouse or keyboard
[05:31] <ibuffy> what's the evdev which was mentioned?
[05:31] <blaq> n8tuser, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. You're being unnecessarily hostile and it's not helping to solve Pandemic187's problem
[05:32] <mindrape> hostile?
[05:32] <mindrape> lol
[05:32] <suji> which command is used to know the version of ubuntu in my system
[05:32] <n8tuser> blaq -> am not hostile to you eh? am pointing out the issues yes?
[05:32] <sheep> suji: lsb_release -a
[05:32] <mindrape> lsb_release -a
[05:32] <cattlesnake> blaq, n8tuser recommended I fix my wireless connection with a wire.
[05:32] <n8tuser> lol
[05:33] <nightrid3r> rofl
[05:33] <n8tuser> cattlesnake -> i was teasing you, and remember we were waiting for you to tell us about your wirless
[05:33] <cattlesnake> blaq, he did so as if a pedagogue as well with an infinite regression in logic.
[05:33] <cattlesnake> and then he called my mother fat.
[05:33] <n8tuser> lol
[05:33] <kernel> My Graphic card is Radeon HD 4850.. but in my ubuntu Compiz is doesn't use well..
[05:33] <mindrape> !ot
[05:33] <Pandemic187> oops...i left lol.
[05:33] <cattlesnake> So, is there anyone who can help me with this?
[05:34] <mindrape> Pandemix - man nslookup
[05:34] <cattlesnake> The resources online were fruitless.
[05:34] <mindrape> cattlesnake -whats the issue?
[05:34] <kernel> ATI......... : (
[05:34] <blaq> anyone have any idea where i can find some metacity developers around here?
[05:34] <cattlesnake> mindrape, I have a Gateway m-1617 laptop and am unable to connect to a Linksys Router.
[05:34] <n8tuser> mindrape -> he does not have long enuff cat5 .. am going to stop teasing now..hehe
[05:34] <mindrape> cattlesnake - wired or wireless?
[05:35] <mindrape> maybe we should resurrect the long cat meme for him to connect, n8tuser?
[05:35] <cattlesnake> mindrape - the router is attached to a desktop computer which has a cable modem.
[05:35] <kernel> cattlesnake // ifconfig
[05:35] <sloopy> grinn, and?
[05:35] <quiksilver> if im using ubuntu it doesnt matter if i buy mac or pc right?
[05:35] <mindrape> cable modem -> router -> other comp                    or          cable modem -> other comp -> router on 2nd nic?
[05:36] <cattlesnake> kernel -- what must you know?
[05:36] <sloopy> quiksilver, nope doesnt...
[05:36] <cattlesnake> mindrape - the first.
[05:36] <mindrape> k.  :)
[05:36] <mindrape> cattlesnake - and you want to connect via ethernet?
[05:36] <quiksilver> does linux utilize really powerful systems though>
[05:36] <cattlesnake> mindrape - no, I want to connect using my laptop via wireless.
[05:36] <nightrid3r> cattlesnake: if we ever figure out what wifi card you have .....
[05:36] <mindrape> cattlesnake - okay.            sudo lshw -C network             what kind of card and what driver is it using?
[05:37] <n8tuser> quiksilver -> powerful enuff, you have anything in mind that you want to compute intensively?
[05:37] <quiksilver> some 3d rendering possibly
[05:37] <quiksilver> im just wondering if its a waste to get the new corei7
[05:37] <quiksilver> i really plan on sticking with linux
[05:37] <cattlesnake> mindrape - I don't see a wireless network on here.
[05:38] <mindrape> cattlesnake: sudo iwconfig
[05:38] <n8tuser> quiksilver -> then you need a powerful 3-d capable video card, and hopefully has the drivers supported in ubuntu
[05:38] <mindrape> does it say no wireless extentions?
[05:38] <nightrid3r> n8tuser: 4 quadcore opterons and 32GB ram is enough to irc according to a mate :)
[05:38] <cattlesnake> It does not.
[05:38] <mindrape> cattlesnake: on lshw you may have to scroll up through the output... (shift + pgup)
[05:38] <mindrape> it does not?  so you see something that lists an Access point and ESSID?
[05:39] <quiksilver> who makes the best pc's?
[05:39] <gaintsura> I do
[05:39] <n8tuser> nightrid3r -> thats just still in my dreams, even though i saw on craigslist a dual opteron 275  1 unit rack mount for 125 bux, my mouth was watering
[05:39] <gaintsura> =P
[05:39] <sloopy> quiksilver, apple
[05:39] <mindrape> quiksilver: best is opinion based... even so, best based on what criteria?
[05:39] <cattlesnake> mindrape - I don't see those either.
[05:39] <mindrape> cattlesnake: how about you copy and paste the output to www.pastebin.com so we can see.
[05:39] <duhh_> brand newbie here
[05:40] <cattlesnake> mindrape - I can't because this laptop is not connected to the internet, I am on the desktop.
[05:40] <mindrape> cattlesnake - to make this move smoothly how about you pastebin the following output.         sudo lshw -C network           sudo iwconfig          sudo ifconfig                sudo lspci
[05:40] <Matr|x> hello
[05:40] <Matr|x> i need some help
[05:40] <grinn> sloopy: thanks for the help but i can barely keep my eyes open right now, good night and thank you, again
[05:41] <nightrid3r> cattlesnake: thats why we talked about the cable as a temp solution to solve your problem
[05:41] <n8tuser> cattlesnake -> you dont like my 1st suggestion of using a cat 5 cable to just try it out first eh? make sure everything is okay, then switch to wireless after?
[05:41] <ravenor_> Matr|x, around here, you just have to ask it.
[05:41] <transporter> can somebody help me with a diary software for hardy
[05:41] <Matr|x> thx
[05:41] <FelixZ> Hi, a rookie question: which option of dpkg allows me to ignore any possible dependencies during install like what 'rpm -i -nodeps' does? It seems --ignore-depends require the name of a known package.
[05:41] <Matr|x> i want to install Rdesktop
[05:41] <sloopy> grinn, ok
[05:41] <Matr|x> but i cant
[05:41] <cattlesnake> Okay.  I have to disconnect this first.
[05:41] <hacknperl> I am looking for a software suite(preferable web based so i can access from my truck anywhere on a laptop) that is pretty simple for small businesses... it needs to do invoicing(main thing) and service call scheduling(bonus) and manage customers and estimates.  I have found several open sources projects such as OpenCRM, nolaPro, vtiger and they are all way too complicated.  Does anyone know of anything that is much simpler?
[05:41] <cattlesnake> Back shortly.
[05:42] <vigo> I am going to lie down, prolly sleep also,,,thank you kindly for all the assistance  and help,,,,,
[05:42] <n8tuser> FelixZ -> we dont remember all the options, kindly man  dpkg
[05:42] <Matr|x> eny body hel[
[05:42] <Matr|x> p
[05:42] <Matr|x> im new here
[05:42] <transporter> can somebody help me to find a diary software for hardy
[05:42] <Matr|x> help needed
[05:42] <nightrid3r> Matr|x: ask your question
[05:43] <Matr|x> rdesktop
[05:43] <Matr|x> give me errors
[05:43] <FelixZ> n8tuser: Thank you for the hint, I actually did that but could not find the answer.
[05:43] <eseven73> transporter: zim
[05:43] <Matr|x> when i give command .. ./configure
[05:43] <cattlesnake> mindrape & nt8user -- said laptop is without appropriate orifice.
[05:43] <PUNISHER> hi
[05:43] <mefisto__> I have kubuntu installed. if I install ubuntu-desktop, what does that do to the sound system under kde? will I have kde working with pulseaudio? or is it not that straightforward?
[05:43] <mindrape> cattlesnake: lspci
[05:44] <transporter> eseven73 will it allow me to write in my daily thoughts and feelings
[05:44] <nightrid3r> FelixZ: why you would want to ignore dependencies
[05:44] <Matr|x> hey
[05:44] <Matr|x> i need help
[05:44] <Matr|x> :O
[05:44] <sheep> Matr|x: you need to be more clear about what you need help with
[05:44] <eseven73> transporter: also KDE has a million really nice Journal and personal info managment apps
[05:44] <cattlesnake>  mindrape -- I meant that I am unable to attach the cable to the laptop.
[05:44] <PUNISHER> who needs help?))
[05:44] <Matr|x> me
[05:44] <Matr|x> :)
[05:44] <Matr|x> punisher
[05:44] <eseven73> transporter: zim is a desktop wiki you can write anything
[05:45] <Matr|x> can i pvt u
[05:45] <nightrid3r> Matr|x: try sudo apt-get install rdesktop
[05:45] <mindrape> cattlesnake: well i am on the same page as n8tuser.... we cant help you if we dont know what card you have
[05:45] <ravenor_> What kind of trouble am I going to get into trying to swap out Gnome for Xfce?
[05:45] <eseven73> transporter: basKet also comes to mind...
[05:45] <PUNISHER> Matr|x: okay, let's try to fix it
[05:45] <FelixZ> nightrid3r: I'm developing a software suit that in some case requires to install multiple versions of it.
[05:45] <eseven73> BasKet is a OneNote clone kinda sorta...
[05:45] <Ahadiel> ravenor_, Shouldn't be any.
[05:46] <ravenor_> Ahadiel, What you're saying is that... aside from resetting everything graphical, its... automatic?
[05:46] <transporter> eseven73 i have basket
[05:46] <FelixZ> nightrid3r: From what I can find only the rpm based way is provided.
[05:46] <eseven73> transporter: personally I use Emacs for Journal stuff, with the org-mode
[05:46] <transporter> eseven73: i don't want anything like basket
[05:47] <Ahadiel> ravenor_, Before remove gnome, you might want to try out xfce first. sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[05:47] <Ahadiel> ravenor_, Then select "xfce" under "Sessions" at the login screen.
[05:47] <eseven73> hmm transporter try searching apt for 'journal' or 'diary' see what pops up :)
[05:47] <FelixZ> nightrid3r: ...so I'm just curious there's a counterpart to rpm --nodeps in dpkg.
[05:47] <nightrid3r> FelixZ: i have no idea
[05:47] <cattlesnake> mindrape -- I just ran hardware testing, this is what it says: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 2a08 (rev 03) .... and then .... Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. TTL8101E/RTL8102E .... and then... PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 01) ....  are any of these the aforementioned card?
[05:48] <ravenor_> Ahadiel, Hmm. So both desktops are intsalled at once... and I could switch between the two whenver?
[05:48] <transporter> eseven73: i need something that would allow me to write down my personal daily thoughts and feelings
[05:48] <fromero691> hi guys im having trouble trying to execute this file  virtualbox-2.1_2.1.0-41146_Ubuntu_intrepid_i386.deb
[05:48] <Ahadiel> ravenor_, yeah
[05:48] <transporter> eseven73: that's all that i need
[05:48] <FelixZ> nightrid3r: Thank your for asking anyway, I'll keep exploring. :)
[05:48] <ravenor_> transporter, why not just use... gedit or something. Date each entry either in the file name or on a new line.
[05:48] <transporter> eseven73: i need something that can do that for me
[05:49] <fromero691> hi guys I need some help with executing this file  virtualbox-2.1_2.1.0-41146_Ubuntu_intrepid_i386.deb

[05:49] <eseven73> transporter: kontact has a journal feature
[05:50] <sheep> fromero691: what happens when you double-click it?

[05:53] <sheep> ic3fr0g: you may also want to install libapache2-mod-php5 if you want to use php with apache
[05:54] <nightrid3r> cattlesnake: there are supported usb wifi sticks so there is always a solution
[05:54] <transporter> can somebody help me with cairo clock it fails to launch
[05:54] <cattlesnake> nightrid3r -- those look hella dorky.
[05:54] <omid8bimo> hi
[05:55] <n8tuser> cattlesnake -> have we ever find out your wifi chip you use on your laptop? internal or usb attached? pcmcia?
[05:55] <omid8bimo> i have a problem and i don't know what to do
[05:55] <nightrid3r> cattlesnake: or use ndiswrapper with windows drivers as a last
[05:55] <cattlesnake> n8tuser -- I believe we did, and it is a Marvell Topdog or Hotdog or something.
[05:55] <omid8bimo> i had ubuntu on partition sda2 and it's /boot in sda3
[05:55] <omid8bimo> sda1 was bsd
[05:55] <cattlesnake> nightrid3r -- I tried those, I tried it with every possible driver.
[05:55] <n8tuser> cattlesnake -> internal? pcmcia card you plug in? or usb you plug in?
[05:55] <omid8bimo> i removed the sd3 by mistabke now i can't boot into ubuntu
[05:56] <omid8bimo> how can i recreate ubuntu /boot?
[05:56] <cattlesnake> n8tuser -- it is a wireless card already inside of the laptop, not anything I plug in.
[05:56] <spree> Help, movie player will not seek or go to the next chapter
[05:56] <spree> it does play but that is all it does

[05:59] <eseven73> haha
[05:59] <toki_> hey is anyone in here from the knoxville tn area
[05:59] <spree> you know, maybe ubuntu shouldn't advertize that you should upgrade if it causes all these problems
[05:59] <FelixZ> nightrid3r: It seems --force-depends would work, thanks for asking.
[05:59] <eseven73> that's OT toki_
[06:00] <cattlesnake> nt8user -- I can't specifically paste anything because the laptop isn't online and there is no port for the cable.

[06:04] <spree> it's not just vnc
[06:04] <wfiuewfew> nightrid3r: Thanks! I have a problem with this, though. My card requires that I downgrade the kernel to 2.6.24---but linux--header--generic would not downgrade! How do I resolve this?
[06:04] <nightrid3r> fromero691: dpkg
[06:04] <eseven73> xtightvncserver is one
[06:05] <eseven73> spree: do apt-cache search VNC
[06:05] <fromero691> nightrid3r_it's not a .deb package, it's just a folder with more folders inside
[06:05] <spree> omg lol i didnt mean VNC i meant VLC
[06:05] <eseven73> lol
[06:05] <eseven73> its just 'vlc' i think
[06:05] <spree> i got it
[06:05] <spree> sorry :)
[06:06] <eseven73> np
[06:06] <transporter> hey can somebody help me my cairo clock fails to launch and gives me a weird error msg in the terminal
[06:06] <nightrid3r> fromero691: then i can't help you sorry
[06:06] <fromero691> nightrid3r any suggestions?
[06:06] <fromero691> I see
[06:06] <sockets> i just installed virtualbox (downloaded the .deb, not the ose).. but i can't find it, it says "reinstall package" but where is it?
[06:06] <eseven73> transporter: google the 'weird error message' :)
[06:06] <lavagolemking> I need a way to securely delete my files, from a hard drive being returned in maybe 12 hours.
[06:07] <omid8bimo> can someone guide me what to do?
[06:07] <fromero691> sockets_I have the same problem
[06:07] <spree> lavagolemking, first step is to not look at porn on the work computer
[06:07]  * lavagolemking laughs.
[06:07] <omid8bimo> guys i removed my /boot partition by mistake now i can't boot into ubuntu, how can i re-create it?
[06:07] <lavagolemking> It's a personal computer.
[06:07]  * omid8bimo sad
[06:07] <spree> lavagolemking, yes and you looked at porn on it
[06:08] <yfzr1> I have ubuntu 8.10 and looks like there is IRQ conflict - irq 17: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

[06:08] <eseven73> !MBR | omid8bimo (this might help)
[06:08] <spree> lavagolemking, do you want to wipe all data off of it?
[06:08] <eseven73> maybe that second link
[06:08] <useruseruseruser> lavagolemking: shred?
[06:09] <omid8bimo> ubottu: thanks dude, let me check it out
[06:09] <transporter> guess what eseven73 it does not come up in google even
[06:09] <eseven73> odd
[06:09] <lavagolemking> I don't know if the hard drive will survive dd, but shredding the directory tree of Thunderbird/Firefox/Pidgin/Gnome-Keyring should be sufficient.
[06:09] <sockets> fromero691, i figured it out
[06:09] <eseven73> can you pastebin the error transporter ?
[06:09] <spree> lavagolemking, DO NOT DO THIS IT WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON THE DRIVE sudo shred -vfz -n 0 /dev/xxx
[06:09] <sockets> you need to restart
[06:09] <spree> with /dev being the drive
[06:10] <spree> the xxx i mean
[06:10] <lavagolemking> What is -vfz -n ?
[06:10] <transporter> its just a short one eseven73 i don't think it would be necessary to pastebin it here have a look at it

[06:11] <fromero691> hi guys I just download VMserver for linux, and after nearly an hour of downloading I get a folder titled vmware-server-distrib, any idea on how to install it?
[06:11] <wfiuewfew> Any ideas about how to downgrade kernel-headers-generic after a kernel update. I need kernel-headers-2.6.24
[06:11] <lavagolemking> The trouble I'm having is getting it to take directories. I was going to give it zero, remove, and maybe count.
[06:11] <mysticdarkhack> hey all
[06:11] <yfzr1> hi
[06:11] <eseven73> transporter: try running it as root
[06:11] <spree> lavagolemking, in all truth Dell isn't going to check the drive anyway so just break it by dropping it on the ground a few times. i'm not even kidding at all. i'm a dell certified systems engineer
[06:12] <mysticdarkhack> Anyone own a sony vaio z and running ubuntu?
[06:12] <fromero691> hi guys I just download VMserver for linux, and after nearly an hour of downloading I get a folder titled vmware-server-distrib, any idea on how to install it?
[06:12] <transporter> eseven73 that would be way to dangerous then what?
[06:12] <spree> that certification is so easy to get its ridiculous but they do teach you about the dell warranty stuff
[06:12] <spree> got any idea how many hard drives they get a day? thousands
[06:12] <transporter> eseven73 how should i do that?
[06:12] <lavagolemking> I have the drive backed up, and don't mind losing everything, but I don't know if it will survive for a full dd or dban.
[06:13] <spree> lavagolemking, it doesn't have to.
[06:13] <wfiuewfew> Any ideas about how to downgrade kernel-headers-generic after a kernel update. I need kernel-headers-2.6.24
[06:13] <eseven73> I didnt say to always run it as root, but this forum suggest at least TRYING it. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-553751.html
[06:13] <Gerob> Hey all, having a problem with not being able to boot back into the GUI after installing the nVidia 1.77 drivers.  I have tried a few things but I think the xorg.conf file just isn't pointing to my PCI slot with my card.  What can i put in my xorg file to point it to PCI bus 01:00:0?
[06:13] <spree> lavagolemking, they will give you a new drive rather than bug you about whether the drive is faulty. Your LCD screen is another matter however
[06:13] <fromero691> hi guys I just download VMserver for linux, and after nearly an hour of downloading I get a folder titled vmware-server-distrib, any idea on how to install it?
[06:13] <toki_> ok guys so my computer is not reconizing my monitor (polaroid 32" 720p tv) any suggestions
[06:14] <lavagolemking> I actually got that replaced twice, high-def.
[06:14] <spree> lavagolemking, if you knew my credentials i would have grabbed it out of your hands and broken it for you by now
[06:14] <transporter> eseven73: well it works if i run it as root
[06:14] <eseven73> :)
[06:14] <spree> lavagolemking, because i know dell doesn't care. go send that drive in busted.
[06:14] <spree> you know its busted when it is rattling.
[06:14] <spree> i wouldn't say this if it wasn't dell
[06:15] <fromero691> hi guys I just download VMserver for linux, and after nearly an hour of downloading I get a folder titled vmware-server-distrib, any idea on how to install it?
[06:15] <lavagolemking> They sometimes seem not to, but when I was looking at a motherboard once, the tech said they like to try to salvage and refurbish stuff.
[06:15] <eseven73> ok then it sounds as a permissions issue transporter ... I'm not exactly sure what you would need to achieve that since im not familiar with Cairo Clock. but now you know that i requires elevated privillages...
[06:15] <spree> lavagolemking, thats a motherboard. those are expensive.
[06:15] <lavagolemking> I just want to make sure the image is unreadable, in case they do that with my drive.
[06:15] <eseven73> i=it
[06:15] <spree> lavagolemking, hard drives are not. they get a warranty behind the scenes with the hard drive manufacturer
[06:16] <spree> lavagolemking, hard drives break by themselves all the time. Nobody is going to look at or care to look at your data
[06:16] <spree> lavagolemking, I have sufficiently answered your questions. Act.

[06:18] <lavagolemking> No, probably not, but I have (some) valuable passwords saved and want to make sure they are unrecoverable. I also don't want to risk voiding the warranty, which might happen if they see dents or the like on the drive.

[06:19] <wfiuewfew> lavagolemking: try booting from cd and using shred
[06:19] <gonewestcoast> lavagolemking: Good lord, if the data's sensitive don't return the drive.
[06:19] <gonewestcoast> Just replace it, drives are dirt cheap nowadays.
[06:19] <fromero691> is this filed used to install programs vmware-install.pl??
[06:20] <transporter> can somebody help me with my cairo clock it launches successfully if i try to launch it as root but fails to launch as a normal single user

[06:21] <Brack10> Is the "Apple Garamond" font that comes preinstalled on Ubuntu a free font?
[06:21] <wfiuewfew> fromero691: Install python from synaptic
[06:21] <sheep> wfiuewfew: .pl is perl, .py is python

[06:21] <AgentArmstrong> i need help with my display resolution
[06:21] <Slart> wfiuewfew: why not just install the kernel header package for 2.6.24? kernel-headers-generic is just a meta package afaik
[06:21] <AgentArmstrong> im on a ppc
[06:22] <Slart> Brack10: if it comes preinstalled then it most probably is
[06:22] <sheep> fromero691: it's perl, not python.  perl should be installed by default.  To run that file, do perl vmware-setup.pl
[06:22]  * AC`97 goes baaaah
[06:22] <transporter> can somebody help me my cairo clock launches succesffully if i launch it as root but fails to launch as a normal single user

[06:23] <gonewestcoast> transporter: What's the error when you try to launch it?
[06:23] <gonewestcoast> Pastebin, if you please.
[06:23] <sheep> fromero691: you should probably use vmware-install.pl
[06:23] <Slart> transporter: fails to load? you might want to explain a bit more.. the computer blows up? it launches then laughs at you and runs away?
[06:23] <wfiuewfew> fromero691: see above, sorry you need perl, not python --- fromero691: it's perl, not python.  perl should be installed by default.  To run that file, do perl vmware-setup.pl
[06:23] <Slart> lavagolemking: check out "wipe"

[06:26] <transporter> Slart: im sorry for some reason when i copy pasted that error msg in well nothing came up
[06:26] <sheep> fromero691: do this in a terminal: cd ~/Desktop/vmware-server-distrib; perl ./vmware-setup.pl

[06:26] <Slart> transporter: don't search for the whole thing.. just from librsvg-CRITICAL and forward

[06:27] <broomhandle> i hope someone can help: i have a desktop with xp, and a laptop dual booting xp and ubuntu, i don't have a router only a modem, and the net works fine on the desktop (which im on now) but when i unplug the ethernet and put it into the laptop ubuntu won't connect to the net, and if i boot in xp it says i need to renew the ip, but says it's unable to do so, i'd be grateful for any ideas

[06:27] <gonewestcoast> broomhandle: Most cheap cable modems only have one MAC resident at once, you'll have to power cycle it.
[06:27] <sheep> fromero691: what is the output of the command cwd?
[06:28] <broomhandle> gonewestcoast: powercycle the modem? before or after i connect it to the laptop?
[06:28] <fromero691> Sheep_I don't know how to answer that, what is cwd??
[06:28] <sheep> fromero691: it's a command.
[06:28] <transporter> gonewestcoast and Slart: well yes but im a bit dumb when it comes to linux troubleshooting u need to help me out just a tad bit
[06:28] <sheep> fromero691: to run it, type "cwd" (without quotes) in a terminal
[06:29] <coolpro> anyone uses shoutcast server?
[06:29] <Slart> transporter: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[06:29] <Gautam> hi, do we have any keyboard shortcut for viewing desktop...like in windows its cntl+d
[06:29] <transporter> Slart: hardy
[06:29] <Brack10> If I have xfce4 installed on Ubuntu, how can I start it from a command line?
[06:29] <Slart> transporter: how did you install the cairo clock?
[06:29] <transporter> Slart: repos
[06:30] <Slart> Brack10: I think startx should work
[06:30] <fromero691> sheep_fromero69@ubuntu:~$ cwd
[06:30] <fromero691> bash: cwd: command not found
[06:30] <mib_rvd89cnx> Gautam:  Its ctrl+alt+d
[06:30] <sheep> fromero691: oops.  I meant pwd
[06:30] <lavagolemking> Where is the keyring located, if you don't mind my asking? I want to get that too.
[06:30] <Brack10> Slart: no but I also have gnome installed
[06:31] <Brack10> Slart: I installed it on top of gnome for when I need a lightweight wm
[06:31] <Slart> Brack10: might be a setting in some file somewhere that startx reads what to run
[06:31] <fromero691> sheep_lol
[06:31] <Brack10> Slart: you mean xorg.conf?
[06:31] <Brack10> I want gnome to be my default wm, but when I'm doing virtualization I want to use xfce
[06:31] <fromero691> sheep_home/fromero69
[06:31] <Brack10> so I'd log out of gnome and start xfce
[06:31] <bruenig> gnome is not a window manager
[06:32] <Brack10> sorry
[06:32] <Brack10> what's the term?
[06:32] <sheep> fromero691: type this: cd Desktop/vmware-server-distrib
[06:32] <sheep> fromero691: then type this: perl ./vmware-install.pl
[06:32] <bruenig> gnome is a suite of applications often referred to as a desktop environment in which there is metacity which is a window manager
[06:32] <trancefat> Hi all, is there some way i can get my titlebars back... i dragged something and they vanished
[06:33] <Gautam> thanks
[06:33] <Brack10> ok desktop environment
[06:33] <fromero691> sheep_all in one line? or in two separate commands?
[06:33] <Brack10> so...possible?
[06:33] <mib_rvd89cnx> trancefat: ofcourse
[06:33] <Slart> Brack10: no, some other file.. I'm not sure what it's called
[06:34] <nickrud> trancefat, try  alt-f2  gtk-window-decorator --replace
[06:34] <sheep> fromero691: two separate commands
[06:34] <fromero691> sheep_it says to run this command as a super user
[06:34] <sheep> fromero691: try sudo ./vmware-install.pl
[06:34] <eseven73> Brack10: and for a lightweight wm you might want to try Icewm or fluxbox, XFCE has gained a few pounds as of late...
[06:35] <omid8bimo> okay my vmlinuz and initrd is removed from my /boot partition. how can i recreat them?
[06:35] <nickrud> Brack10, oh, xfce? ignore my advice
[06:35] <trancefat> nickrud: but will that change the theme??
[06:35] <fromero691> sheep_just did it started to install im still waiting
[06:35] <nickrud> omid8bimo, sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r)
[06:35] <unomi> hi
[06:35] <Brack10> eseven73:  I don't need something super duper lightweight, but vmware running 2 windows 2008 server and a vista box is really demanding on my poor little computer
[06:35] <eseven73> One thing nice bout ubuntu there's 1500 window managers in the repos to play around with :)
[06:35] <nickrud> trancefat, that's for gnome/metacity/compiz
[06:36] <Brack10> eseven73: so how do I drop to CLI and launch another one? startx starts gnome of course
[06:36] <eseven73> i know the feeling Brack10 i got win xp running as we speak on vbox ose
[06:36] <omid8bimo> nickrud: thanks but where should run that? i can't boot into ubuntu
[06:36] <fromero691> sheep_you got it man, thank you so much for your help it's now installing
[06:36] <unomi> im having some serious problems on a dell optiplex sx280, I rebooted and when it came up very little was working, I had to reinsert my mouse and keyboard to get them to work
[06:37] <unomi> networking had to be enabled via ifconfig
[06:37] <nickrud> omid8bimo, oh, no boot? you can boot the live cd, mount the hard drive, chroot into it and then reinstall the kernel
[06:37] <eseven73> Brack10: i use Icewm and fluxbox when I have my win XP VM running which is like almost 90% of the time :)
[06:37] <unomi> the system was working fine, except a little sluggish, so i rebooted
[06:37] <omid8bimo> nickrud: okay got it. let me try, tanq
[06:37] <nickrud> omid8bimo, but I'm not sure how you got to this spot and what's really wrong with your system. Take my advice if it fits your situation
[06:38] <Brack10> eseven73: Ok if I use those instead of xfce will you tell me how to do it? :)
[06:38] <eseven73> Brack10: I can give you a few tips sure
[06:38] <Brack10> launch a separate wm from cli that is
[06:38] <nickrud> omid8bimo, don't use the linux-image-$(uname -r)
[06:38] <omid8bimo> nickrud: sure :)
[06:38] <unomi> when i rebooted, i also went and tried hyperthreading, which *might* be a cause, not sure.
[06:38] <__deuce__> can someone help me install a wireless patch?
[06:38] <unomi> when i discovered the state of the system i rebooted and turned off hyperthreading again
[06:38] <coolpro> anyone uses shoutcast?
[06:38] <Brack10> eseven73:  No I just need to know how to have gnome start with Ubnuntu, but have the ability to launch another window manager when needed from CLI
[06:39] <eseven73> Brack10: ive never done that before, I thought you meant from login
[06:39] <nickrud> omid8bimo, install linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic for the latest kernel
[06:39] <__deuce__> i keep getting "patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input"
[06:39] <Brack10> nah
[06:39] <Brack10> I know that' just an xorg.conf thing
[06:39] <omid8bimo> nickrud: okay
[06:39] <Brack10> because I use vmware to run my test servers for my MS certs
[06:40] <nickrud> omid8bimo, assuming intrepid  (/me rapidly tries to cover all the bases and his backside)
[06:40] <eseven73> Brack10: I just do ctrl Alt Backspace and switch that way
[06:40] <lavagolemking> Thank you all for your help. I think it's pretty good for a safe return.
[06:41] <unomi> also, up arrow now fires 'screenshot'
[06:41] <omid8bimo> nickrud: yes it is intrepid. the problem was i mistakely removed my /boot partition now i want to creat the /boot on the ubuntu / itself
[06:41] <ravenor_> Probably the wrong place to ask this... but has anybody taken OSX and put... something else on it? (Gnome/Xfce/KDE)?
[06:41] <nickrud> omid8bimo, ok, that should do it. you'll want to reinstall any video or other drivers you had, but do it after it boots correctly if possible
[06:42] <Brack10> I tried ctrl alt bkspace :)
[06:42] <Brack10> didn't work
[06:43] <Brack10> ok who was helping me with the switching wm thing?
[06:43] <quiksilver> how do   i get back to my windows installation
[06:43] <quiksilver> when i installed ubuntu, it auto boots to ubuntu
[06:43] <nickrud> omid8bimo, oh, you'll want to reinstall grub as well
[06:43] <homeskillet> woohoo i got wifi working
[06:44] <quiksilver> and when i press esc to go to the menu before it does, i only see ubuntu options
[06:44] <kinja-sheep> How do you ssh into machines on your local network without using ip-address?  (using domain name instead... that is).  What do I need to install?
[06:44] <Brack10> quiksilver: did you do the guided install, use whole hard drive?
[06:44] <homeskillet> dns?
[06:44] <quiksilver> i forget which one i did
[06:44] <quiksilver> i remember it showing windows 25%
[06:44] <omid8bimo> nickrud: i think too :)
[06:44] <cilabs> kinja-sheep: u need the ip addr, or need to set up a domain name server
[06:44] <quiksilver> ubuntu 75%
[06:44] <nickrud> kinja-sheep, add a reference in your /etc/hosts file, like     ip other-computer   where ip is the other computer's ip and other-computer is a name you want to reuse
[06:45] <nickrud> kinja-sheep, it'll start working as soon as you save the file
[06:45] <__deuce__> who here knows how to install driver patches? am having a bit of trouble
[06:45] <unomi> are there any issues where turning on hyperthreading on a system where hyperthreading was previously turned off may corrupt the system? ubuntu intrepid.
[06:45] <kinja-sheep> kinja-sheep + cilabs:  Thank.  I'm curious more about... setting up domain name server?
[06:46] <quiksilver> Brack10: is  windows gone?
[06:46] <Brack10> quiksilver: sounds like it may be gone
[06:46] <Brack10> quiksilver: how did you launch the install?
[06:46] <__deuce__> quicksilver: sounds like it
[06:46] <quiksilver> cd
[06:46] <Brack10> so you booted to cd from the bios?
[06:46] <quiksilver> correct
[06:46] <kinja-sheep> nickrud: That will work for a computer.  I'd like to be able to ssh in -- based on the connected machine (domain) rather than setting up because I find the IP address?
[06:47] <Brack10> quiksilver: and in the partitioning section you chose the default setting and ignored warnings?
[06:47] <quiksilver> i couldnt tell you
[06:47] <quiksilver> i kinda just guessed
[06:47] <nickrud> oh, outside network? or local?
[06:47] <Brack10> quiksilver: you probably killed windows then
[06:47] <quiksilver> i guess thats not a bad thing
[06:47] <jigp> hello how to extra .bin? (ubuntu desktop 8.04)
[06:47] <kinja-sheep> nickrud: Local.  I see what you mean by /etc/hosts.  There are few lines there (localhost + my name). :o
[06:48] <Brack10> quiksilver: you need to read the warnings, specially the one that says "YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF THE DATA ON YOUR HARD DRIVE IF YOU PROCEED"
[06:48] <conal> how can i set environment variables at login so that they'll be passed into processes i start from the desktop (rather than from a shell)?  i'm using .bashrc, which is conditionally loaded in .profile, but that trick isn't working for me.
[06:48] <cilabs> kinja-sheep: see https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/dns.html
[06:48] <quiksilver> Brack10: everything is backed up, i'll be fine
[06:48] <nickrud> kinja-sheep, yep. That's the reaaaaalllllllyyyyyy  old way to identify computers, back in the day every machine had every machine in the world in that list :)
[06:48] <albuntu> jigp: do you mean extract ?
[06:48] <Brack10> quiksilver: Oh ok you're good to go then
[06:48] <Brack10> quiksilver: you should stick with Ubuntu, Windows blows
[06:48] <jigp> albuntu : yeah extract
[06:48] <quiksilver> yes it does.
[06:49] <kinja-sheep> nickrud: Lol.  Heh.  Time changes. :)
[06:49] <Brack10> *this opinion does not necessarily reflect those of canoical inc*
[06:49] <Brack10> or however you spell it
[06:49] <nickrud> kinja-sheep, so you could do  ssh kinja@other-computer , if it's ip is identified in that file, as yours is.
[06:49] <albuntu> jigp: sudo ./nameofthefile.bin
[06:49] <kinja-sheep> cilabs: Thanks.  Will take a look.  This will only work on the computer with said "dns-related" packages installed?
[06:49] <__deuce__> what steps do I need to install a driver patch?
[06:50] <bruenig> __deuce__: what do you mean by driver patch
[06:50] <cilabs> kinja-sheep: no.  it'll work with all the sys's on the network who are identified to the server
[06:50] <kinja-sheep> nickrud: Or I could stick with what I usually do -- Create an alias. :)
[06:50] <Mimi> Hiiiii...anyone know of dock like AWN, but I can put on the left (or right?) of the screen? Besides Cario (ew ew ew)
[06:50] <nickrud> kinja-sheep, yep. But then, you can reference that machine by name for any purpose.   http://other-computer, for example.
[06:50] <__deuce__> i have a patch that will allow wifi injections, needs installed and am having probs
[06:50] <kinja-sheep> cilabs:  Thanks.  I get the idea (server).  I'll bookmark it.  I think it's what I'm looking for. ;)
[06:50] <nickrud> kinja-sheep, but it's only an option, one of many
[06:51] <__deuce__> i keep getting "patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input"
[06:51] <bruenig> __deuce__: what is this supposed to be patching
[06:51] <bruenig> a kernel module?
[06:52] <cilabs> kinja-sheep: yes, nickrud's right.  its a fairly detailed process, and there are other ways around it.  the server option's the one i know when the netowrk is farily large and moves/adds/changes need to be tracked in a central place
[06:52] <__deuce__> driver for my wireless card
[06:52] <bruenig> __deuce__: link to the driver
[06:52] <bruenig> or pastebin it
[06:53] <kinja-sheep> nickrud + cilabs: I'm in progress of installing 8.04 on my home machines.  I think it's more benefits for me in the long run.  And I wouldn't want to face some weird bugs eventually.  I like the simple thing.  Connect regardless of what ip it is... DNS thing.<_<
[06:53] <bruenig> __deuce__: I mean link to the patch
[06:53] <bruenig> patches patch files
[06:53] <__deuce__> bruenig: http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?topic=2898.0
[06:54] <jigp> albuntu : but its in the documents.how to go there?
[06:54] <nickrud> kinja-sheep, you still have to maintain the list. One place is convenient, but it's also easy to mess up. Something worth learning, though
[06:54] <SkytracK> anybody installed ubunta on a Asus eee box never used linux before so dont want to much hassle in setting it up advice needed thanks
[06:54] <__deuce__> bruenig: that is the driver, now that i reread it
[06:55] <nickrud> SkytracK, if someone's there, #ubuntu-eeepc is the place for advice
[06:55] <SkytracK> ok thanks
[06:56] <bruenig> __deuce__: yeah so you need to download the source of the iwl driver, patch it with whatever file you got, then compile it as a module
[06:56] <__deuce__> bruenig: http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/ sorry about the last link, this is the direct one
[06:56] <__deuce__> how do i compile it?
[06:56] <albuntu> jigp: the bin file its an executable file and can not be extracted. you can execute it with this command : sudo ./home/snake/jigp/Documents/nameofthefile.bin if the name of your home folder is jigp
[06:56] <unomi> is there a way to restore my system to a previous state?
[06:56] <bruenig> oh it is all put together, the patched driver there?
[06:56] <bruenig> !compiling
[06:56] <unomi> can i see which updates have been applied chronologically?
[06:58] <nickrud> unomi, grep installed /var/log/dpkg.log , and zgrep installed /var/log/dpkg.log.*.gz
[06:58] <bruenig> you can't restore it to a previous state unless you have backups obviously, you can restore the packages you have installed to a previous state by simply removing the ones you have installed since that time and readding the ones you have deleted
[06:58] <bruenig> read the logs and have fun
[06:58] <ChrisGibbs> unomi: depends on how far back as well. Try /var/log/apt/ as well
[06:58] <bruenig> this is not the same as restoring the system though because you may have changed configurations, etc.
[06:58] <nickrud> unomi, as you can gather, ubuntu doesn't use 'restore points'
[06:59] <jigp> albutu :jigp@jigp:~$ /home/jigp/MichaelLearnsToRock 2008 CD(cd)/MichaelLearnsToRock 2008 CD(cd).bin
[06:59] <jigp> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[06:59] <unomi> i think i might have installed something that was able to mess up my system
[06:59] <keppi> why would "force create mode" not work in samba?
[06:59] <bruenig> unomi: that is unlikely
[06:59] <nickrud> jigp, put the file name in quotes, because of the spaces
[06:59] <unomi> bruening then perhaps you can help me find out what is going on.
[06:59] <bruenig> unomi: describe
[06:59] <nickrud> jigp, and the parenthesis
[06:59] <jigp> nickrud : how?
[06:59] <unomi> net and HAL dont seem to start anymore
[07:00] <bruenig> unomi: by net you mean the networkmanager daemon?
[07:00] <unomi> i had to replug my keyboard and mouse after boot, had to run ifconfig and dhclient to get net
[07:00] <unomi> i mean networking capabilities
[07:00] <nickrud> jigp, like  bash "/home/jpig/Mi --- .bin"
[07:00] <keppi> noone knows samba in here?
[07:01] <bruenig> unomi: you obviously had network capabilities as you were able to use ifconfig and dhclient, any thing you are calling "network capabilities" are just front ends for those things anyhow
[07:01] <bruenig> unomi: so what front end is it that you are without
[07:01] <nickrud> jigp, if that fails, by some odd chance, place a \ before each space and parenthesis, like   2000\ 2008\ \(cd\).bin
[07:01] <__deuce__> thanks for the help bruenig
[07:01] <unomi> ifconfig showed only loopback
[07:02] <unomi> i had to bring eth0 up by hand
[07:02] <unomi> http://rafb.net/p/MQv5rP71.html
[07:02] <nickrud> keppi, seems like the samba people are absent; ask every 10 min or so and one will drop in soon, I'd guess
[07:02] <unomi> my dmesg
[07:02] <keppi> thanks nickrud
[07:02] <bruenig> unomi: so your problem is that eth0 wasn't brought up? or is there something more?
[07:03] <jigp> nickrud : sudo "./home/jigp/MichaelLearnsToRock 2008 CD(cd)/MichaelLearnsToRock 2008 CD(cd).bin"

[07:04] <unomi> http://rafb.net/p/P0GXQE59.html
[07:04] <bruenig> jigp: the . refers to the current directory you are in, so let us say you are in /home/jigp and run that command, what you are actually running is /home/jigp/home/jipg/MichaelLearns..." and so on
[07:04] <jigp> bruenig : command not found
[07:04] <nickrud> jigp, I didn't have a . in there :)  in this context,  the "." means current directory. Since there is no directory below / ....
[07:04] <unomi> also, up arrow fires 'screen shot'
[07:05] <SkytracK> nickrud guess i will have to go ahead with the install on my Asus eee box see what happens noone answering me in that channel may have to wait a little longer
[07:05] <jigp> nickrud : still not working :(
[07:05] <bruenig> jigp: ls -l that file and paste the otuput

[07:06] <nickrud> jigp, or /home/jigp/Mic<tab> , using bruenig 's excellent advice
[07:06] <yoyit2> ok so i have an mp4 file off of a phone, and on the phone it has audio, but when u play the file on ubuntu, there is no audio, just video

[07:07] <albuntu> jigp: have you checked if the file is executable ? try checking with right clicking the file , going to properties and in permissions make this file executable
[07:07] <bruenig> albuntu: even if it weren't executable he wouldn't be getting command not found errors however
[07:07] <bruenig> that is what I thought at first
[07:07] <bruenig> he would just get permissions errors
[07:08] <ldm> i am ldm
[07:08] <albuntu> bruenig: right but anyway its better to let him give a look. just to be sure

[07:10] <albuntu> jigp: cant you  try to rename the file and try again ?
[07:10] <albuntu> jigp: try renaming it to something simple like : file.bin
[07:10] <homeskillet> isnt /dev/sda1 for usb drives? i dont have one plugged in, i have winxp installed and am tryin to install ubuntu over it but it just wants to partition to add stuff on /dev/sda1
[07:10] <bruenig> there is a way to do it without renaming

[07:23] <jigp> albuntu yes. the folder is mike now and file mike.bin
[07:23] <Greencoat1982> I have samba installed, and the folder shared in vista

[07:23] <Greencoat1982> and I can see my laptop from the vista box
[07:23] <rww> transporter_: I just gave you two.
[07:23] <jigp> albuntu : nope
[07:24] <albuntu> jigp: try redownloading the file and try again
[07:24] <Greencoat1982> but it won't let me connect to my vista box from my ubuntu laptop

[07:24] <rzz8509> yoyit2 sudo apt-get install vlc
[07:24] <Greencoat1982> I type in the share address and input the correct passowrd
[07:24] <rww> !msg | transporter_: no
[07:24] <tsai0> hello all, is there a way to upgrade from 32bit ubuntu to 64bit without a complete reinstall or having to save the home folder yet? Just curious.
[07:24] <Flynsarmy> Slart, it's not installed by default. need something that you dont have to install
[07:24] <Greencoat1982> but nothing shows up
[07:25] <nite_johnboy> I'am currently using a 16gb Corsair thumb drive picked up for a very good buy - not very much room left though - disk usage reports only about 8gb free - I really like this - it runs really fast and all - would like to pick-up a 32gb next - is there a brand other then Corsair anyone would recommend that would be cheaper but as reliable as the Corsair ? ?
[07:25] <n2diy> Has my user, I right click on the tool bar clock, but I can't adjust the date or time. I click on unlock, enter my user password, and fail authentication. What's up?
[07:25] <Greencoat1982> and if noone here can help, can someon at least point me towards a networking room
[07:25] <jigp> albuntu : is there a know application to extract this bin?
[07:25] <Slart> Flynsarmy: then I don't know of anything
[07:25] <rww> tsai0: Nope. To go from 32bit to 64bit you have to reinstall.
[07:25] <n2diy> As
[07:25] <transporter_> rww ubottu ok so here it is can somebody help me cairo clock does not open up as normal user but opens up as root error msg in terminal (cairo-clock:6753): librsvg-CRITICAL **: rsvg_handle_render_cairo_sub: assertion `handle != NULL' failed
[07:25] <Slart> tsai0: nope.. you need to reinstall
[07:25] <albuntu> jigp: it should run normally even if you double click it and click run from the options that you get
[07:26] <paul68> is there a way that I don4t have manually select my proxy at work and deselect it when I am connected at home
[07:26] <rww> transporter_: Are you going to try the commands that I gave you, or ignore me?
[07:26] <tsai0> rww:  , Slart:  are you on 64bit?
[07:26] <Slart> tsai0: yes
[07:26] <transporter_> no rww i did try ur command im sending u a pastebin gimme a sec
[07:26] <rww> tsai0: yes, I am.
[07:26] <miranda_psi> paul68: just in firefox?
[07:26] <Greencoat1982> So no one has any hints?
[07:27] <Greencoat1982> at least someone tell me of another room that could help then?
[07:27] <nite_johnboy> Is there a brand of 32gb thumb drive someone would recommend ? ?
[07:27] <Slart> Greencoat1982: have you read the documentation for samba?
[07:27] <paul68> miranda_psi: I guess so since its a http proxy here at work
[07:27] <tsai0> Slart: , rww: did you get flash working without a lot of reworking.  I had Debian 64bit installed before and flash was my biggest issue like a year and a half ago.
[07:27] <transporter_> rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/107241/
[07:27] <Slart> tsai0: yes
[07:27] <Greencoat1982> yes, and I can't figure it out, trust me this is always the last place I look for help
[07:27] <rww> tsai0: Flash worked fine for me. Just had to sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[07:27] <chalcedony> I've forgotten KDE setting up, been so long ... where do you change the colour and outline of the desktop text under the icons? there is a foreground and background, normally white on black
[07:28] <miranda_psi> paul68: try looking at foxy proxy - it will at least make life easier
[07:28] <Greencoat1982> I had intrepid on my desktop but wanted to try the 64 bit version of vista
[07:28] <Dexi> hey rww do you know anything about eggdrop?
[07:28] <Slart> Greencoat1982: hmm.. then I can't really help you further, sorry
[07:28] <rww> transporter_: Okay. What happens when you do "cairo-clock -t simple" (for example)?
[07:28] <Greencoat1982> I had it set up nicely before so that I could just network into the desktop and watch my content,
[07:28] <Slart> Greencoat1982: although I can tell you that samba is the way to go, afaik
[07:29] <rww> Guest83387: I know what it is, yes.
[07:29] <transporter_> rww: should i copy paste that?
[07:29] <Greencoat1982> is there a samba channel?
[07:29] <Guest83387> er
[07:29] <paul68> miranda_psi: now I have to go to system prefs and network proxy to adapt these manually
[07:29] <rww> transporter_: type cairo-clock -t simple in a terminal, yes
[07:29] <Guest83387> dammit how did i end up as a guest
[07:29] <keppi> Greencoat1982:  yes
[07:29] <Slart> Greencoat1982: not sure.. ##samba or #samba perhaps
[07:29] <jigp> albuntu : ok what application to choose?I tried k3b but no luck
[07:29] <tsai0> rww: , Slart:  Thanks, that anwers my question.. Hmm?  I wonder if I create a new partition, can I somehow migrate the home folder from the 32bit partition?
[07:29] <rww> Guest83387: I assume you didn't identify with nickserv
[07:29] <Talia> Here's a question for anyone!!!
[07:29] <rww> Dexi: see above
[07:29] <Dexi> haha rww yeah that was it
[07:30] <Slart> tsai0: yes, you can just copy the files to a new partition.. make sure to not overwrite that new partition with something else though
[07:30] <rww> tsai0: You can just move the files across after setup, yeah. Or do something like !separatehome
[07:30] <transporter_> rww i can see the clock
[07:30] <albuntu> jigp: i dont know an aplication.  it should execute normally with the commands i gave you before
[07:30] <rww> !separatehome | tsai0
[07:30] <Dexi> rww: when i run it with -n it runs fine, but without -n it wont connect to the server and i cant telnet in
[07:30] <rww> transporter_: Okay, so it works if you specify a theme with -t?
[07:30] <nite_johnboy> tsai0; It was really easy - just booted to a live Ubuntu CD and went to System/Administration/Create a USB startup disk - I was trying to do this with a 8gb USB and it would not work - picked up 16gb today and everything installed wonderful - that's what I'm running from right now.
[07:30] <keppi> why when an osx client writes to a samba share, it ignores "force create mode"
[07:30] <jigp> albuntu : its not .cue right?
[07:31] <jigp> albuntu : I've seen .cue here
[07:31] <mountx> anyone know of a good guide to fixing compiz causing video flashing on 8.10
[07:31] <transporter_> rww: looks like it yeah
[07:31] <Talia> When I bought my computer, the hard drive was already partitioned between C: and D:  I then installed ubuntu on d:, and C:, which had windows corrupted.  Is there anyway to retrieve that partition using ubuntu?
[07:31] <tsai0> ubottu: , nite_johnboy: i will have to try this. thanks all
[07:31] <transporter_> rww: now what?
[07:31] <useruseruseruser> tsai0: bye bye
[07:31] <rww> transporter_: Okay. Well, either pick a theme and run it with a -t switch, or figure out which part of your cairo-clock or cairo configuration is broken.
[07:31] <miranda_psi> paul68: do you actually use anything other than firefox at work? if not then give foxy proxy a go - don't know anything for system wide...
[07:32] <rww> transporter_: I don't use cairo much, so I'm not sure how to help you diagnose that.
[07:32] <androidfx> how can i install JavaSE6 Update 11 in ubuntu, i download the linux package, but where is supposed to be, at the root directory, at the usr, ??
[07:32] <transporter_> rww: its something do to with the permissions
[07:32] <paul68> miranda_psi: I also use msn mails and yes firefox also
[07:32] <phpmonk> how to configure mutt for POP and SMTP?
[07:32] <Talia> anyone?
[07:32] <Talia> When I bought my computer, the hard drive was already partitioned between C: and D:  I then installed ubuntu on d:, and C:, which had windows corrupted.  Is there anyway to retrieve that partition using ubuntu?
[07:32] <rdw200169> Greencoat1982: this guy got it to work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=315916
[07:32] <transporter_> rww: i need to switch the permission to a normal user
[07:32] <nite_johnboy> tsai0: this is really cool I can basically take this to any computer and boot to it - nice - Is there any brand USB you like best - Will be getting a 32gb soon ?
[07:33] <paul68> rdw200169: hi my friend happy new year to you
[07:33] <rdw200169> paul68: hey, you too
[07:33] <rww> transporter_: Did you run something cairo-related with administrative privilages? it might have made some part of your user-specific cairo configuration owned by root.
[07:33] <rdw200169> paul68: how's the firewall going?
[07:34] <paul68> rdw200169: working like a charm thanks to your help just having a puzzle at this point with the proxy server at work
[07:34] <xxCody> Can anyone help in making my own menu? Is there an app for this? I want to make my own drop down menu like Applications.
[07:34] <transporter_> rww: no i did not do anything
[07:34] <mountx> hey ... anyone know of a fix for getting compiz to stop skipping video ... switching to metacity works but was hoping for a compiz fix ... video is ATI card
[07:34] <Greencoat1982> rdw200169 that only seems to be for previous distros
[07:34] <phpmonk> xxCody: wxWidgets
[07:34] <rzz8509> purple monkey dish-water
[07:34] <rdw200169> Greencoat1982: have you tried the fix from the last post?
[07:35] <ik_> hallo everyone
[07:35] <rww> transporter_: Okay, then I doubt it's a permissions thing. As I said, something in your cairo configuration in your home foder is probably broken, and running as root is using root's cairo configuration, hence it working. I doubt it's a permissions issue, or many more people would be having it.
[07:35] <rdw200169> mountx: i had the same problem for a while with Nvidia, then I upgraded to the latest drivers then it went away
[07:35] <useruseruseruser> ik_: hi hi hi
[07:35] <transporter_> rww: i tried uninstalling reinstalling it did not work
[07:35] <rdw200169> mountx: i also had that problem when i used compiz on multiple displays, now I don't do that...
[07:35] <xxCody> Thats coding. very good answer though lol.
[07:35] <ik_> anyone who can help me with floola?
[07:35] <mountx> rdw: does envy install the latest drivers?
[07:35] <miranda_psi> paul68: for firefox you could use foxy proxy, and use say pidgin at home and empathy at work (not ideal, but a workaround...)
[07:35] <rww> transporter_: uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't remove the cairo configuration stuff in your home folder.
[07:36] <xxCody> Is there another app for have a menu?
[07:36] <rdw200169> paul68: proxy servers are a *pain*
[07:36] <transporter_> rww: what do i do?
[07:36] <rdw200169> paul68: you never know what kind of filtering they're doing...
[07:36] <Greencoat1982> rdw200169 it just said no application is set to handle
[07:36] <rww> mountx: As far as I know, there's no fix for that, unfortunately. The fglrx driver has problems with compiz+video and compiz+gaming, and the usual solution is to temporarily disable compiz while watching videos or gaming.
[07:36] <transporter_> rww: please think of something (brb)
[07:37] <rdw200169> Greencoat1982: i don't know, that's the best I found... personally I avoid Samba and Windows file sharing at all costs, it's just a pain, even on windows!
[07:37] <rdw200169> Greencoat1982: did you know that Vista can't even file share with XP???
[07:37] <rww> transporter_: figure out which part of your cairo configuration is broken. heck, delete the cairo settings in your home folder if that isn't too inconvenient. As I've said already, I don't use cairo, and I /can't/ use it right now, so I can't diagnose it further.
[07:37] <Greencoat1982> I know but what other option do I have for accessing the files on my vista box
[07:37] <mountx> ok ... that's what i've been doing ... tried several 'fixes' w/ no results
[07:37] <paul68> rdw200169: well the thing is that I want to be able to connect automaticly to the proxy at work and automaticly connect to the homenetwork without proxy when I am at home
[07:38] <ik_> no-one who know how to use floola on ubuntu 8.10?
[07:38] <rdw200169> paul68: from the same linux box?
[07:38] <Greencoat1982> yeah, MS is alround crap, but I wanted to try some games on vista
[07:38] <Greencoat1982> just haven't reinstalled the dual boot yet
[07:38] <rdw200169> Greencoat1982: so you're just trying to access files in there?
[07:38] <mountx> why dual boot ... just virtualbox it
[07:38] <Greencoat1982> yes
[07:38] <transporter_> rww: i don't have a problem with anything i can alwayz reinstall it so i pretty much think i get my settings back if i wanted to right
[07:38] <paul68> rdw200169: with the same laptop yes now I have to go to system prefs network proxy to adapt the settings and I am to lazy lol to do this each time
[07:39] <rww> mountx: virtualbox and games don't work well together =/
[07:39] <Greencoat1982> because the virtual box wasn't running very good
[07:39] <mountx> ahh .. <-- not much of a gamer
[07:39] <rdw200169> paul68: ah, i see, that *is* pretty lazy!
[07:39] <jigp> albuuntu : I got it now. it has been extracted now.its mike.iso now. how to extract iso?
[07:39] <Greencoat1982> well the main game I play works well in linux with win, but some of the newer ones can get real buggy
[07:39] <rdw200169> paul68: and it's such a handy tool, too!
[07:40] <mountx> my g/f plays spore and sims ... are those doable on linux?
[07:40] <Greencoat1982> The only semi-worthwhile product MS has ever made is the xbox and 360
[07:40] <ik_> floola?
[07:40] <rdw200169> jigp: you can mount the iso, mount -o loop src.iso /mountpoint
[07:40] <rww> Dexi: Hrm, that's weird. Not sure how to help, unfortunately :/
[07:40] <Greencoat1982> spore no, thats why I went to vista to play it
[07:40] <ik_> anywnl
[07:40] <paul68> rdw200169: since my laptop can connect to both wifi networks without any manual input I was wondering if I could achieve the same with the proxy connection
[07:40] <Greencoat1982> sims I don't know, but doubt it
[07:41] <rww> mountx: Nope, neither of them work well at all on Wine.
[07:41] <rdw200169> paul68: reluctantly, i don't think there's a solution for that yet, until NetworkManager comes out with Proxy support per-connection
[07:41] <Dexi> rww: its ok
[07:41] <ik_> help for floola
[07:41] <ik_> plz
[07:41] <rdw200169> paul68: i'm assuming that's what you're talking about, as far as automatically connecting to wireless connections
[07:42] <rww> Dexi: You could maybe ask in the Eggdrop IRC channels ( http://www.eggheads.org/support/ )
[07:42] <yasarrr> hello
[07:42] <Dexi> rww: i tried they are all bare... nobody to answer me lol
[07:42] <mountx> has anyone had success w/ blackberry's and wine/virtualbox?
[07:42] <Greencoat1982> man I really wanted to watch some of my shows before bed
[07:42] <transporter_> can somebody help me cairo clock does not open up as normal user but opens up as root error msg in terminal (cairo-clock:6753): librsvg-CRITICAL **: rsvg_handle_render_cairo_sub: assertion `handle != NULL' failed
[07:42] <useruseruseruser> yasarrr: hi
[07:42] <ik_> hallo
[07:43] <ik_> I'm looking for some help with floola
[07:43] <rdw200169> paul68: you could write something with python-dbus to watch NetworkManager events, and if it connects to the network at work, have it perform the switch...
[07:43] <chaqui> I just spent time figuring out how to ssh, and now I do it from a local connection, now how do I take it elsewhere?
[07:43] <nightrid3r> !paste
[07:44] <Kartagis> how to reinstall the package after applying a patch? dpkg-reconfigure?
[07:44] <transporter_> can somebody help me cairo clock does not open up as normal user but opens up as root error msg in terminal (cairo-clock:6753): librsvg-CRITICAL **: rsvg_handle_render_cairo_sub: assertion `handle != NULL' failed
[07:44] <paul68> rdw200169: to get it straight when I want to connect automaticly to the proxy at work without having to adapt the settings manually, I was affraid you where going to mention that
[07:44] <rdw200169> paul68: then again, i can't remember which file gnome-network-preferences changes to set the proxy, i believe it's in gconf somewhere
[07:45] <jigp> rdw200169 : jigp@jigp:~/mike$ sudo mount -o loop mike.iso /mountpoint
[07:45] <jigp> mount: mount point /mountpoint does not exist
[07:45] <SingAlong> Hi all!
[07:45] <rdw200169> jigp: that was an example, make an empty directory somewhere
[07:45] <useruseruseruser> Sindacious: hi
[07:45] <Sindacious> ..
[07:45] <rdw200169> jigp: like /home/<your user name here>/iso
[07:45] <SingAlong> where's the libX11 in Ubuntu? this in reference to this: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-support/2006-November/061521.html I need to know where libx11 resides to correct this problem
[07:46] <paul68> rdw200169: it is indead I saw it in the gconf as http-proxy but no direct indictation that is adapted in the network connections part
[07:46] <rdw200169> jigp: then use that direcotry
[07:46] <paul68> rdw200169: *indeed
[07:46] <rdw200169> paul68: i've had mine as a proxy before, so it has the IP address in there as the setting
[07:47] <Greencoat1982> rdw200169 would it matter if I don't have a password for my vista user account?
[07:47] <rdw200169> paul68: this is in .gconf/system/http_proxy/%gconf.xm.
[07:47] <rdw200169> Greencoat1982: i have not idea :(
[07:47] <SingAlong> anybody?
[07:48] <paul68> rdw200169: ok I will have to snoop around a bit thanks for your help and talk to you soon, getting busy here at work
[07:48] <rdw200169> paul68: so, i'm assuming that if you change the entry with "use_http_proxy" to value="true" it would turn on the proxy
[07:48] <paul68> rdw200169: seems logic
[07:49] <Slart> SingAlong: there are plenty of tools to search for files in linux.. try locate or find
[07:49] <Rencx> How can I save video from camera?
[07:50] <rdw200169> paul68: gimme a sec, i'm gonna show you an example of mangling around with gconf
[07:50] <unomi> this is really strange
[07:50] <unomi> ive tried the older kernels as well, it doesnt seem related to that
[07:50] <Rencx> How can I save video from camera? And what program i must use?
[07:50] <unomi> where can i see error logs relating to bringing up eth0 in the boot process?
[07:50] <fosco__> unomi: type dmesg
[07:51] <paul68> rdw200169: ok
