[05:34] <dbuZer> thanks anyway... :(
[05:34] <MAHE> both ubuntu and windows here
[05:34] <Phusion> MAHE, do you have a shared drive on the windows machine?
[05:34] <nownot> dbuzer: how do i do that. well how do i know if the hd is actually being read by the os?
[05:34] <MAHE> i mean i have shared it
[05:34] <MAHE> by right click

[05:35] <Phusion> MAHE, do you know the IP address of the windows machine?
[05:35] <NeT_DeMoN> !wine | bugsy696
[05:35] <ubotu> bugsy696: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[05:35] <Eagleray> Flughafen: then try re-asking your quesion here, or on the forums, or googling for a howto
[05:35] <MAHE> yeah both of them---<IP_ADDRESS> and .5
[05:35] <nownot> sunogbaga: i did that and i only saw one hard drive and its not the one im having a problem with
[05:35] <MAHE> and i want to share files
[05:35] <MAHE> bw them
[05:35] <MAHE> how do i?
[05:35] <Phusion> MAHE, ok, well you should be able to go to Places
[05:35] <Eagleray> Flughafen: don't be too fixed on ffmpeg either - there are other solutions
[05:36] <Phusion> and I think it's.... browse to server
[05:36] <MAHE> network places?
[05:36] <Flughafen> Eagleray, ive looked at a few how to's i didnt find anything to helpful
[05:36] <Eagleray> Flughafen: VLC can do this quite nicely with a GUI
[05:36] <Flughafen> Eagleray, what other programs are there?
[05:36] <NeT_DeMoN> oops
[05:36] <Bugsy969> ?
[05:36] <NeT_DeMoN> just noticed that
[05:36] <Flughafen> Eagleray, how do you do it with VLC?
[05:36] <Eagleray> Flughafen: does VLC sound more like what you're after
[05:36] <Eagleray> ?
[05:36] <sunogbaga> nownot: means os wasn't able to read it
[05:36] <Bugsy969> thanks i'll check out the form
[05:36] <Phusion> MAHE, or Network?
[05:36] <rubydiamond2> whenever I opend my rapidsvn from gui shortcut.. and I update.. it says .. permission denied error but when I open it from terminal using sudo rapidsvn.. it does update... how can I make my gui shortcut to work with sudo credentials... ???
[05:36] <Flughafen> Eagleray, i use VLC for playing, i didnt know it could do that

[05:36] <alteregolio> still this crappy atl_xmit frame0 blah error
[05:37] <Zenerek> nownot and other guys who don't know what too to use for what, when in doubt use the apropos command to search what available apps are on your ubuntu box, you will find there are many things at your fingers tips to handle many things
[05:37] <MAHE> i dont get u mr phusion
[05:37] <Eagleray> Flughafen: VLC can do a lot of transcoding stuff too - look in the 'open file' dialog for the GUI to do this
[05:37] <nownot> shit something else i can try
[05:37] <MAHE> there is a network places folder in windows
[05:37] <MAHE> shud i go to ubuntu
[05:37] <MAHE> ?
[05:37] <Eagleray> Flughafen: it's in the same section as streaming, only you want to stream to a file rather than over a network
[05:37] <Phusion> MAHE, you know on the Ubuntu desktop, there's buttons called Applications and there's one called Places
[05:37] <MAHE> ok
[05:37] <sunogbaga> nownot: well did bios recognize ur hd?
[05:37] <MAHE> i know
[05:37] <Flughafen> Eagleray, awesome thanks
[05:37] <nownot> yes it did
[05:37] <Phusion> MAHE, yous hould be able to browse your network from there
[05:38] <Eagleray> Flughafen: no problem, hope it was helpful
[05:38] <MAHE> ok...no setup needed after conecting the pc's?
[05:38] <Phusion> MAHE, you may need to install samba
[05:38] <Phusion> MAHE, from the command line type sudo apt-get install samba
[05:38] <MAHE> kk
[05:38] <MAHE> and how to get the ip adrress and all?
[05:38] <MAHE> and to enable sharing 4 a folder?
[05:39] <Phusion> well from windows command line you can type ipconfig to see your ip
[05:39] <nownot> sunogbaga: yes it did
[05:39] <sunogbaga> MAHE: u don't need the ip addresses
[05:39] <Phusion> you need to install samba to share w/ windows
[05:39] <Flughafen> Eagleray, yea it was
[05:39] <Phusion> but you should be able to just access any shares on your windows machine
[05:39] <Phusion> from linux
[05:39] <MAHE> well, phusion, i want to share 2 pc's both with ubuntu
[05:39] <Zenerek> well bye this but a test or opera's irc ability...
[05:39] <Phusion> ahhh
[05:39] <MAHE> will it work?
[05:39] <Phusion> I asked before and you said one was windows :/
[05:39] <sunogbaga> nownot: perhaps the more knowledgable people here can help you..
[05:40] <MAHE> both having both
[05:40] <MAHE> sorry
[05:40] <MAHE> i just need to transfer files
[05:40] <MAHE> somehow
[05:40] <MAHE> on any os
[05:40] <MAHE> i have got an adsl 2+ router

[05:40] <bulmer> !enter | MAHE
[05:40] <Phusion> one second
[05:40] <ubotu> MAHE: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[05:40] <MAHE> ok sorry mr ubotu
[05:40] <MAHE> whats nfs?
[05:40] <FluxD> network file storage
[05:41] <Eagleray> MAHE: ubotu is a bot, not a person
[05:41] <Eagleray> !ubotu
[05:41] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[05:41] <sanguisdex> I have a dell e1505 laptop and every time I try to use a mic the program running crashes is there any one here who can help me?
[05:41] <FluxD> I mean system not sotage
[05:41] <sunogbaga> MAHE: u just need samba
[05:41] <Phusion> network file system I think, but at any rate
[05:41] <Phusion> did you issue that command MAHE? sudo apt-get install samba
[05:41] <MAHE> hey can u help me a bit more, i dont know what is samba and all
[05:41] <MAHE> ok
[05:41] <Phusion> I'm still here heh
[05:42] <MAHE> leme boot into ubuntu
[05:42] <FluxD> !samba | MAHE
[05:42] <ubotu> MAHE: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[05:42] <MAHE> brb
[05:42] <MAHE> hey
[05:42] <Eagleray> MAHE: samba is a suite of linux apps for sharing files with Windows over the smb/cifs protocols
[05:42] <MAHE> i dont need to cooperaTE WITH  windows
[05:42] <Eagleray> !samba|MAHE
[05:42] <ubotu> MAHE: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[05:42] <MAHE> ubuntu to ubuntu only
[05:42] <FluxD> Eagleray: how do u share with between ubuntu to ubuntu
[05:42] <Phusion> MAHE, that link will help you
[05:42] <Eagleray> FluxD: I use NFS
[05:43] <MAHE> for ubuntu to ubuntu transfer>
[05:43] <MAHE> ?
[05:43] <Phusion> yeah
[05:43] <DIL> and all this time i thoght sanba was a dance
[05:43] <FluxD> Eagleray: how do u set it up?
[05:43] <Eagleray> MAHE: how often are you wanting to transfer files - a one-off, or repeatedly?
[05:43] <nickrud> MAHE, lots of people use samba to share between linux boxes, it supports more than just file sharing
[05:43] <Eagleray> FluxD: see what I just asked MAHE
[05:43] <MAHE> hey eagerlay, one off
[05:43] <nownot> i have a hd that i think has a bad sector. bios will reconize it but when i do fdisk-l its not there. i want to scan it for bad sectors and repair. is there a linux tool i can use?
[05:43] <FluxD> Eagleray: repeatedly
[05:43] <MAHE> just a big file
[05:43] <MAHE> and music
[05:43] <Eagleray> MAHE: then use SCP, it's easier
[05:44] <MAHE> whats that?
[05:44] <Eagleray> FluxD: then use NFS or samba
[05:44] <MAHE> in ubuntu rite?
[05:44] <Eagleray> MAHE: scp = secure copy
[05:44] <MAHE> is it a software?
[05:44] <FluxD> Eagleray: link on how to sset it up
[05:44] <nickrud> !ssh
[05:44] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[05:44] <Eagleray> !scp|MAHE
[05:44] <ubotu> MAHE: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/
[05:44] <jones> is there a way to automatically id3 tag all my mp3's? maybe getting the info from the net or something? thanks everyone
[05:45] <FluxD> jones: I think amarok has a plugin for that
[05:45] <Eagleray> FluxD: install nfs-kernel-server on the system sharing files, and nfs-common and portmap on both
[05:45] <Phusion> jones: there are apps that will do it based ont he file name
[05:45] <Phusion> yeah amarok is a good bet.
[05:45] <Eagleray> FluxD: then edit /etc/exports to define your shares, and restart nfs-kernel-server
[05:45] <MAHE> hey eagerlay, is there a similar way for one off transfer in windows?
[05:45] <FluxD> Eagleray: and using samba?
[05:45] <Eagleray> FluxD: Once you have done that, just mount them on the client machine
[05:45] <jones> fluxd: have u found that amarok s better than a standalone prog?
[05:45] <jones> phusion: any recommendations?
[05:45] <sunogbaga> MAHE: you can also use sftp
[05:45] <Eagleray> FluxD: The instructions I gave you were for NFS. Samba is considerably more complex
[05:46] <MAHE> in windows?
[05:46] <FluxD> jones: theres a program called picard which is standalone I think it also has a linux version
[05:46] <Phusion> jones: amarok
[05:46] <Phusion> from google: "You can right click on an artist/album/track (anything) in the collection view. There will be an option to Edit Metadata or Edit Artist Information or something along those lines (not near Amarok currently). There will be a checkbox for "Per Track" at the bottom left of the dialog that appears."
[05:46] <sunogbaga> MAHE: i thought ubuntu->ubuntu only..
[05:46] <Eagleray> MAHE: you can use SCP/SFTP in windows if you want, via a program called 'WinSCP'
[05:46] <MAHE> ok
[05:46] <MAHE> ubuntu > ubuntu will b better
[05:47] <sunogbaga> MAHE: then just use sftp
[05:47] <Phusion> jones, http://easytag.sourceforge.net/
[05:47] <Eagleray> MAHE: SCP can do ubuntu->ubuntu quite nicely
[05:47] <jones> fluxd/phusion: thanks i am looking into it now
[05:47] <MAHE> okay..is it prerinstalled?
[05:47] <Phusion> k
[05:47] <Eagleray> MAHE: yes
[05:47] <nownot> so nobody knows a way to format a hd that isnt reconized in ubuntu but is in the bios?
[05:47] <DIL> MAHE, i have my network set with samba - The manner in which Phusion was guiding will get you there
[05:47] <FluxD> Eagleray: is there an scp client for ubuntu?
[05:47] <Phusion> nownot, tried a boot cd?
[05:47] <rencore_> how can i run emerald themes without beryl
[05:47] <Eagleray> FluxD: yes, it's part of ssh
[05:48] <nownot> phusion: dont see how that will help
[05:48] <FluxD> Eagleray: I mean GUI
[05:48] <Eagleray> FluxD: comandline client called 'scp'
[05:48] <jahlin> hello, im having some trouble following this guide : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574501 ... when i run the command  "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper"     my computer freezes completely
[05:48] <Phusion> nownot, well, you could try using for instance Hiren's Boot CD that has many utilities on it for hard drive management
[05:48] <Eagleray> FluxD: not sure to be honest - I assume there is, but I do most tasks like that in a terminal
[05:48] <sunogbaga> MAHE: yes
[05:48] <Phusion> or you could google hard drive utility boot disc
[05:48] <Phusion> or something along those lines
[05:48] <nownot> hmm will try
[05:48] <nickrud> FluxD, gftp does ssh graphically
[05:49] <nickrud> FluxD, or places->connect to server
[05:49] <FluxD> nickrud: scp = ftp over ssh right ?
[05:49] <Eagleray> FluxD: no
[05:49] <nickrud> FluxD, no, secure copy, sftp is secure ftp
[05:49] <MAHE> the ubuntu on one of pc's has  a problem
[05:49] <MAHE> shit
[05:49] <FluxD> what eactly is secure copy?
[05:49] <wols_> nickrud: sftp and scp is the same
[05:49] <nickrud> !language | MAHE
[05:49] <ubotu> MAHE: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[05:50] <Eagleray> FluxD: it's a file copy method that uses ssh as a transport to copy files between machines
[05:50] <nickrud> wols_, at the base? thanks
[05:50] <MAHE> hey..can i just download winscp and then just start transferring files in windows?
[05:50] <Phusion> yes
[05:50] <Eagleray> FluxD: you use it in almost exactly the same way as you'd use cp (copy)
[05:50] <wols_> sftp is the same protcol as scp: transferring files over ssh
[05:50] <nickrud> wols_, never used sftp, scp has been good enough for me :)
[05:50] <Eagleray> MAHE: yes
[05:50] <MAHE> without clicking on share folder and bla bla?
[05:50] <MAHE> and other settings?
[05:51] <Eagleray> wols_: it's not, SFTP is a similar protocol and usually looks the same to the end user, but it's not the same as scp
[05:51] <sunogbaga> MAHE: yes of course you can
[05:51] <SunmanXII> hello im having an issue after i reinstalled to gutsy - for some reason when i try to switch screen resolution absolutely nothing happens - the resolution stays the same
[05:51] <FluxD> Eagleray: and what is ftp over ssh called?
[05:51] <MAHE> so far i just know that ping command is succesful
[05:51] <wols_> Eagleray: then what is the difference?
[05:51] <MAHE> but the computers dont show each other in network places
[05:51] <Eagleray> FluxD: it's called FTP over ssh - there's not really any such thing
[05:51] <darobsta> im havin sex
[05:51]  * nickrud bows out of this network talk, he knows he's an imbecile here
[05:51] <wols_> FluxD: there is ftp with ssl, not ssh
[05:51] <Eagleray> FluxD: SFTP looks and acts like FTP, but it's not really FTP at all
[05:52] <sunogbaga> MAHE: please use the nick to address who you are talking to
[05:52] <wols_> Eagleray: what is the difference between sftp and scp then?
[05:52] <SunmanXII> can anyone help me with my screen resolution problem?
[05:52] <Ttech> darobsta, Nothing like a little spamming? Hmm?
[05:52] <Eagleray> wols_: SFTP contains a whole pile of junk for folder creation & manipulation etc, listing, things like that
[05:52] <MAHE> sunogbaga: like this?
[05:52] <speeddemon8803> Example "Wols_ I think Ubuntu rocks!"
[05:52] <jahlin> has anyone ever managed to get a dlink dwa-552 working using ndiswrapper and have a moment to spare ?
[05:52] <MAHE> it doesnt change color
[05:52] <MAHE> !!
[05:52] <Eagleray> wols_: SCP is a simple copy usility - basically cp on steroids
[05:52] <sunogbaga> MAHE: exactly
[05:52] <Phusion> its like cp for remote resources
[05:53] <MAHE> but u can change color when u address me...i can't?
[05:53] <Eagleray> wols_: *utility
[05:53] <Phusion> lol
[05:53] <Eagleray> MAHE: to address someone, just type their name in front of your message
[05:53] <speeddemon8803> When they address you it changes colors because it's a notification flag :)
[05:53] <sunogbaga> MAHE: depends on your irc client
[05:53] <nickrud> MAHE, when you address us, it changes color here
[05:53] <MAHE> oh
[05:53] <speeddemon8803> its built into your irc client.
[05:53] <MAHE> nickrud: Does it change color ?
[05:54] <nickrud> MAHE, bright red :)
[05:54] <MAHE> yipeeeeeeeeee
[05:54] <SunmanXII> anyone?
[05:54] <MAHE> thanx...
[05:54] <MAHE> i have installed winscp on one of the pc's
[05:54] <speeddemon8803> If you address me, I will see it in the color that I have chosen for notifications, but nobody else will see it like that.
[05:54] <nickrud> SunmanXII, when you change resolution how?
[05:54] <MAHE> Phusion: Shud i do it on next ?
[05:54] <Phusion> MAHE, english please
[05:54] <jahlin> is anyone pretty familiar with ndiswrapper ?
[05:55] <bazhang> !u | MAHE
[05:55] <ubotu> MAHE: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun.  If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you".  The same goes for "why", "because", "anyone", and so on..
[05:55] <MAHE> err, i thought i always speak english, cz i know that only
[05:55]  * Phusion cries
[05:55] <bazhang> cz?
[05:55] <MAHE> because
[05:55] <Phusion> <--- cursed
[05:55] <MAHE> sorry
[05:55] <Phusion> so, anyway
[05:55] <Phusion> I'm confuised, winscp is windows app
[05:55] <Phusion> you keep changing
[05:55] <Phusion> do you have two windows machines, or two ubuntu machines or what
[05:55] <SunmanXII> pleeease?
[05:55] <Eagleray> Phusion: WinSCP is an SFTP and SCP client for windows
[05:56] <Phusion> you need to have winSCP on whatever windows computer needs to talk to an ubuntu one
[05:56] <MAHE> 2 windows...now
[05:56] <Phusion> I know!
[05:56] <MAHE> oh no
[05:56] <sunogbaga> MAHE: please use the nicks when addressing
[05:56] <Phusion> ok, two windows.
[05:56] <MAHE> sunobaga: Ok
[05:56] <Eagleray> Phusion: it's designed to access *nix systems, and windows servers that happen to be running an SFTP service
[05:56] <Phusion> you don't need SCP for two windows
[05:56] <derrley> I have an install of ubuntu server and I need to add xwin and gtk for an application I want to run. Is there an easy way to do that ?
[05:56] <Phusion> please stop telling me what WinSCP is
[05:56] <wols_> derrley: yes. just install it
[05:56] <MAHE> Phusion: Can u just tell me HOW can i transfer files.......?
[05:56] <MAHE> somehow?anyhowe?
[05:56] <nickrud> SunmanXII, first, could you answer the question? What method of changing the resolution that doesn't work?
[05:57] <datakid_> hola, how can I change my firefox plugins so that the ogg Mime type is processed by totem instead of mplayer? when I go here: http://theorasea.org/ is says mplayer is being used, when I do about:plugins in fx, it says both totem and mplayer are set to go on ogg
[05:57] <Phusion> MAHE, sure, if we're just clear on some things, you want to know how to share files between two Windows PCs on a router, correct?
[05:57] <sunogbaga> MAHE: have you tried anything yet?
[05:57] <wols_> MAHE: run a ssh server on ubuntu and a sftp client like filezilla on windows
[05:57] <MAHE> yeah
[05:57] <FluxD> Eagleray: whats the difference between sftp and ftp over ssh ?
[05:57] <MAHE> Phusioc:Yeah
[05:57] <Eagleray> Phusion: oops, sorry - I thought you were asking
[05:57] <Phusion> ok, so ubuntu is no longer in the  equasion.
[05:57] <derrley> wols_: do I just need to install the libgtk package or is there a more straightforward way to fetch all the xwindows stuff? (like in opensuse they have "patterns")
[05:57] <datakid_> but I don't know how to ctually change it
[05:57] <Phusion> Eagleray, nope, not at all
[05:57] <wacd-andy> excuse me...does anyone know when will flash package be back on...?
[05:57] <wols_> derrley: install xorg
[05:57] <jahlin> could anyone give me a hand with ndiswrapper when they get the chance ?
[05:57] <MAHE> oh this is ubuntu forum
[05:58] <Eagleray> FluxD: STFP is an FTP-like protocol that runs over the SSH stdin/stdout data channels
[05:58] <MAHE> so u wont answer it , right?
[05:58] <wols_> derrley: that is if you actually want a x server. if you only need clients install xbase-clients
[05:58] <Phusion> lol
[05:58] <FluxD> jahlin: what u need help with?
[05:58] <Phusion> well, this isn't the place to ask.
[05:58] <nickrud> datakid_, I just remove totem-mozilla  and use mplayer exclusively
[05:58] <Eagleray> FluxD: FTP over ssh is FTP running through an SSH tunnel
[05:58] <ownlinux> love ubuntu as love myself
[05:58] <datakid_> I'm in settings->content->mime types but locate totem turns up a bunch of things, and I've no idea which is the plugin
[05:58] <MAHE> Phusion: I have been trying to connect them for past 15 hrs
[05:58] <bazhang> go to ##windows MAHE
[05:58] <MAHE> ok
[05:58] <Phusion> well you've been asking for help in the wrong place
[05:58] <evan_> MAHE: easy answer: buy a crossover cat5 ethernet cable, connect ethernet port to ethernet port
[05:58] <FluxD> Eagleray: oh thx
[05:58] <datakid_> nickrud: cheers, but I'm actually doing testing to see what works
[05:58] <wols_> MAHE: both windows PCs have an IP right? also you have a sharename?
[05:58] <datakid_> cortado similarly doesn't work
[05:58] <derrley> wols_: the server is the one doing the rendering, right? (And the client is where the program is running?) or is it the other way around. I always forget.
[05:58] <KiD_ChAoS> i've been selling ubuntu for fun and profit... what charges do i face?
[05:59] <Phusion> certain death.
[05:59] <MAHE> wols_:yeah
[05:59] <jahlin> fluxd : im trying to install the latest version of ndiswrapper, v1.51
[05:59] <bazhang> offtopic KiD_ChAoS
[05:59] <KiD_ChAoS> Phusion, lol
[05:59] <nickrud> datakid_, never could get that setting to work, tried many times. I adapted :)
[05:59] <Phusion> :)
[05:59] <wols_> derrley: correct. servre diplays on screen, client is where the app actually runs
[05:59] <FluxD> jahlin: I always compile from source
[05:59] <MAHE> people in windows forum don't know a thing
[05:59] <jahlin> FluxD: i extracted the source , i'm in the dir
[05:59] <MAHE> i tried already
[05:59] <wols_> MAHE: \\ip\sharename
[05:59] <MAHE> wols_: in run?
[05:59] <Phusion> MAHE, you can put that in the start -> run box
[05:59] <wols_> MAHE: and just cuase they don't know, this is not the place to ask for such a question
[05:59] <Eagleray> MAHE: yes, in run
[06:00] <jahlin> FluxD: sorry you'l have to forgive me i type 1 line @ a time.... i run make distclean then make then sudo make install
[06:00] <Phusion> \\ip.address.\share
[06:00] <Phusion> oops
[06:00] <Phusion> \\ip.address\share
[06:00] <FluxD> jahlin: I used the wiki article let me find it for you
[06:00] <jahlin> FluxD: everything seems to go ok, but when i do ndiswrapper -v it shows version 1.45
[06:00] <MAHE> Eagleray: It doesnt work
[06:00] <sanguisdex> why would trying to use a mic crash a program
[06:00] <sanguisdex> ?
[06:00] <FluxD> jahlin: u downloaded or compiled 1.45 ?
[06:00] <KiD_ChAoS> has anyone encountered spyware on ubuntu
[06:00] <MAHE> Phusion: I don't think i will ever be able to transfer the file
[06:01] <MAHE> thanks anyway
[06:01] <Eagleray> MAHE: what doesn't work exactly? You are asking about so many things it's hard to be sure what you actually want
[06:01] <Phusion> yeah
[06:01] <Phusion> we can't help when you're all over the place
[06:01] <Phusion> MAHE, try this http://www.homenethelp.com/web/howto/net.asp
[06:01] <bazhang> first it was two ubuntu boxes, then they were windows boxes..
[06:01] <jahlin> FluxD: nope
[06:01] <sunogbaga> MAHE: can we  start all over again?
[06:01] <MAHE> Eagleray: I have 2 windows pc's with ubuntu, of which one of the ubuntu is not working
[06:01] <jahlin> i might've had it running before, but removed it
[06:02] <FluxD> jahlin: first step is to find the old ndiswrapper filed and remove it
[06:02] <MAHE> sunogbaga: Okay
[06:02] <Johnson> hey does anyone know why i would be restricted frm acessing my keyring it doesnt even prompt me for a password
[06:02] <jahlin> FluxD: may i pm you ?
[06:02] <FluxD> jahlin: sure
[06:02] <SunmanXII> hello? can anyone help me?
[06:02] <Eagleray> MAHE: so you want to transfer a file from a system that is CURRENTLY RUNNING ubuntu to a system CURRENTLY RUNNING windows?
[06:02] <wols_> MAHE: a windows pc is not ubuntu. so you have one ubuntu PC and one windows PCs?
[06:02] <Phusion> if you ask a question someone can SunmanXII
[06:02] <sunogbaga> MAHE: we are going to use sftp okay?

[06:03] <bazhang> SunmanXII: read that link and then come back
[06:03] <Phusion> yes you can!
[06:03] <wols_> Phusion: sure. ssh on ubuntu, filezilla or such one windows (and there is openssh for windows too if you want)
[06:03] <MAHE> so i have to use windows on both
[06:03] <Eagleray> MAHE: you can access them just fine
[06:03] <nickrud> SunmanXII, or answer a question so people can help you troubleshoot
[06:03] <MoreAllLess> !audacity
[06:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about audacity - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:03] <Phusion> wols_, yeah but thats just silly :)
[06:03] <ownlinux> have a rest   bye  everyone
[06:03] <MAHE> i have windows ruuning on both now
[06:03] <MoreAllLess> !find audacity
[06:03] <ubotu> Found: audacity
[06:04] <sunogbaga> MAHE: first of all what os'es are we really gonna use?
[06:04] <MAHE> windows+windows
[06:04] <wols_> MAHE: then you are wrong here and should ask on ##windows. good day

[06:04] <Eagleray> MAHE: then fine a FAQ on windows networking
[06:04] <sunogbaga> MAHE: then you should't ask the question here
[06:04] <derrley> wols_: so to be clear, because I'm not too bright ;), installing xbase-clients will let me ssh -X to this box and run windowed applications?
[06:04] <MAHE> wols_:people in windows forum r stupid
[06:04] <Eagleray> MAHE: copying windows->windows is a windows problem and doesn't belong here
[06:04] <wols_> sunogbaga, Eagleray, Phusion: he runs windows, no ubuntu to be seen anywhere. the is OT. if you want to help him please do it in ##windows
[06:04] <bazhang> MAHE: not our problem
[06:04] <MAHE> and i have been googling these things
[06:04] <MAHE> without success
[06:04] <MoreAllLess> nickrud: Thanks for correcting me!
[06:04] <Phusion> yeah I told him that
[06:05] <wols_> MAHE: I could say something but then someone said !ohmy or such. so I won't. but you are not supposed to ask windows questions here. please leave
[06:05] <nickrud> MoreAllLess, not correcting, helping :)
[06:05] <Moult> i am trying to download the torrent for Ubuntu, but it is extremely slow. any ideas as to why?
[06:05] <MAHE> okay if i install ubuntu on one pc again, and have vista on another...can u help me?
[06:05] <MoreAllLess> nickrud: right, thanks!
[06:05] <wols_> MAHE: yes
[06:05] <tsukasa__> Moult, getting throttled?
[06:05] <sunogbaga> MAHE: yes
[06:05] <speeddemon8803> Yes
[06:05] <nownot> phusion: where do i download hirens boot cd?
[06:05] <tsukasa__> Moult, or just slow on ubuntu
[06:05] <Phusion> but for chrissake install XP if you have it
[06:05] <KiD_ChAoS> im pretty impressed with wine, so far everything i've thrown at it works like a charm. is there anything this wonder program can't do?
[06:06] <speeddemon8803> Mahe:If you have ubuntu on any computer and ask ubuntu related questions we can help you, otherwise, no...
[06:06] <nickrud> vista >> xp
[06:06]  * nickrud runs for exit
[06:06] <wols_> Phusion: everybody can install the toxic waste he wants. not much difference between pest and cholera here, vista or xp
[06:06] <tsukasa__> KiD_ChAoS, play crysis?
[06:06] <Phusion> oh but it's more like the flu and ebola
[06:06] <tsukasa__> or anything dx10
[06:06] <twiztr> Hey, what program is the little calender that pops up when you click the date link too?
[06:06] <raddy> Is it possible preserve updates, i am going to reinstall ubuntu
[06:06] <nickrud> twiztr, that's the clock applet
[06:07] <Eagleray> raddy: copy the contents of /var/cache/apt
[06:07] <bazhang> !aptoncd | raddy
[06:07] <ubotu> raddy: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers
[06:07] <Phusion> nownot, hirens is illegal I think, has some pirated software, check out the knoppix cd, or use the ubuntu cd's livecd
[06:07] <KiD_ChAoS> i've even installed microsoft exchange 2008 on wine and it works fine
[06:07] <bazhang> KiD_ChAoS: nice, but offtopic
[06:08] <DragonSpirit> Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to toggle off the starting of a service at boot, although it is not listed in the services under System>Administration>Services
[06:08] <twiztr> nickrud: I mean, I know when you click on it, and see the calender, it can show you all the appointments you have made, but I don't know what program you have to save the appointments in.
[06:08] <Moult> tsukasa__: sorry i don't understand
[06:08] <wols_> DragonSpirit: yes. /etc/rc0.d /etc/rc2.d/ or /etc/rcS.d/ has a symlink to it. delete it
[06:09] <nickrud> DragonSpirit, install sysv-rc-conf , you can run it from the terminal
[06:09] <Moult> i'm just tyring to download the torrent, and i have a stunning 2kb per second download speed
[06:09] <Eagleray> DragonSpirit: for a normal-mode startup, the symlinks wols_ mentioned will be in /etc/rc2.d/
[06:09] <nickrud> twiztr, oh, that's saved in evolution, the mail/calender app
[06:09] <KiD_ChAoS> someone has just installed a sinister LKM on my machine what do i do.... i already punched em'
[06:09] <twiztr> Moult: Probably because your ISP throttles it.
[06:09] <twiztr> Moult: What internet do you use?
[06:10] <wols_> KiD_ChAoS: LKM?
[06:10] <DragonSpirit> wols_, nickrud, & Eagleray: thanks, I will give it a look
[06:10] <nickrud> KiD_ChAoS, pass me the password
[06:10] <Moult> internet? you mean my ISP?
[06:10] <KiD_ChAoS> loadable kernel module
[06:10] <wols_> KiD_ChAoS: reinstall
[06:10] <twiztr> Moult: Yea.
[06:10] <wols_> this machine is compromised forever
[06:10] <twiztr> Moult: What other internet can I be talking about?
[06:10] <Moult> uh, TMNet
[06:10] <KiD_ChAoS> ok wols_
[06:10] <nickrud> KiD_ChAoS, if you're serious, don't trust your data even
[06:10] <Moult> it's a malaysian internet
[06:10] <cohete> Nmap is listing open ports, but only gives the number of filtered/closed ports. How can I get it to list filtered ports individually?
[06:10] <twiztr> Google TMNet torrent throttling.
[06:10] <DragonSpirit> ubuntu really has a nice irc channel, I almost expected a "rtfm" or something, thank you for being nice
[06:11] <KiD_ChAoS> no nickrud not serious
[06:11] <MAHE> wols_: iam on create partition disk of ubuntu installation
[06:11] <nickrud> !rtfm
[06:11] <ubotu> Acronyms or statements like  noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[06:11] <MAHE> how do go about now?
[06:11] <wols_> cohete:   |grep filtered. but: if it's your own machine you run nmap on, nmap is useless. use netstat
[06:11] <wols_> MAHE: create one
[06:11] <bazhang> !install | MAHE
[06:11] <ubotu> MAHE: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[06:11] <DragonSpirit> nickrud: my mistake if I broke a channel rule by typing it
[06:11] <cohete> wols_: I'm running scans on a remote server I'm setting up
[06:12] <mohamed> Wow I use ubuntu now on virtual machine and it's working so blazing fast
[06:12] <nickrud> DragonSpirit, no, no, that's the proper use of it :)
[06:12] <wols_> cohete: you have root on that server. so nmap is still the wrong tool. use netstat
[06:12] <cohete> wols_: the problem is that only open ports are listed individually. So I can't grep since the data isn't even there
[06:12] <mohamed> is there any way I can use the 3d desktop on unbuntu on VM
[06:13] <wols_> cohete: and besides: why do you run a firewall? what for?
[06:13] <FluxD> mohamed: no
[06:13] <wols_> mohamed: no
[06:13] <mohamed> thanks for answer
[06:13] <cohete> wols_: i believe in redundant security
[06:13] <Vinno> Anyone know how to get the 2nd window of gimp opened again? i accidentally closed it and dunno how to bring that window up again
[06:13] <mohamed> I'm just amazed how ubuntu that fast on vm
[06:13] <wols_> cohete: I believe in closed ports
[06:13] <nickrud> cohete, try installing nmapfe , it's a gui that will let you set options like that easily. But as wols implies, netstat is going to tell you the important stuff
[06:14] <cohete> wols_: i don't understand. aren't filtered ports more secure than closed ports, which could be opened by a new process?
[06:15] <wols_> cohete: if a process opens a port there is already malware running on the system in which case yoU#ve already lost
[06:15] <purpleposeidon> Hello, I'm havnig problems getting grub to boot windows
[06:15] <wols_> cohete: and due to firewalls, most malware uses things like port80 anyways to not have troubles with firewalls and the like. port80 rarely is filtered...
[06:16] <DragonSpirit> anyone know of a mind numbingly addictive game written for X on linux, my girlfriend sometimes is at home before I am home from work and she likes simple addictive games to pass the time

[06:16] <biju> How do i prevent andale32.exe from trying to install itself each time I run a apt-get install ?
[06:16] <purpleposeidon> Except I installed windows, installed ubuntu gutsy, and there isn't a boot menu or anything...
[06:16] <nickrud> Vinno, file->dialogs-> create new doc
[06:16] <wols_> biju: something does not compute. apt-get doesn't install .exe programs...
[06:17] <wols_> purpleposeidon: what do you have then?
[06:17] <biju> wols_, Its trying to install msttcorefonts each time
[06:17] <wols_> biju: then you tried to install mssttcorefonts some day and didn't properly do the install
[06:17] <wols_> biju: pastebin the full output
[06:17] <nickrud> DragonSpirit, frozenbubble
[06:17] <themoebius> hey is there some easy way I can switch from dual screen with nvidia twinview to single screen for playing games without having to edit xorg.conf and logout and back in?
[06:18] <cre8torx> ohla
[06:18] <purpleposeidon> wols_: I just have ubuntu, I have windows on (hd0,4)
[06:18] <bazhang> DragonSpirit: lbreakout
[06:18] <purpleposeidon> *I just have ubuntu on menu.lst
[06:18] <wols_> purpleposeidon: do you have a grub menu, yes or no?
[06:18] <purpleposeidon> yeah
[06:18] <SunmanXII> hi, i just asked about my resolution problem on this channel and got a link to
[06:18] <wols_> purpleposeidon: sudo update-grub might help. if not: pastebin your menu.lst
[06:18] <SunmanXII> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:18] <purpleposeidon> wols_: Will do...
[06:18] <DragonSpirit> nickrud: thanks, I was thinking that one too, I had not played it since my days of using mandrake, when it used to be called that, maybe it will be even nicer
[06:19] <biju> wols_, http://pastebin.com/m5dae8206 is the output of installing drivel
[06:19] <wols_> purpleposeidon: did you have a primary partition before installing ubuntu? cause windows boot drive on a extended partition is kinda strange IIRC
[06:19] <Vinno> Nickrud, oh, talkinga bout the window dialog that starts with gimp, like it has layers and all that in it
[06:19] <SunmanXII> however, when i did the first instructions the xserver went into low graphics mode and now i can only use one resolution. i can post my xorg.conf if youw ant to
[06:19] <nickrud> DragonSpirit, I've wasted much office time on that one :)
[06:19] <SunmanXII> anyone
[06:19] <SunmanXII> ?
[06:20] <nickrud> Vinno, yes, that's the one.
[06:20] <wols_> biju: dpkg -r msttcorefonts
[06:21] <nickrud> SunmanXII, yes, do that, plus /var/log/Xorg.0.log , and the output of lspci | grep -i vga
[06:21] <wols_> SunmanXII: sure,. do it
[06:21] <biju> wols_, Same thing it trys to install the package again
[06:21] <SunmanXII> post the xorg.conf?
[06:21] <SunmanXII> ok...
[06:21] <wols_> SunmanXII: all what nickrud said
[06:22] <SunmanXII> ----
[06:22] <SunmanXII> # xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
[06:22] <SunmanXII> #
[06:22] <SunmanXII> # This file was generated by failsafeDexconf, using
[06:22] <SunmanXII> # values from the debconf database and some overrides to use vesa mode.
[06:22] <nickrud> oh, no
[06:22] <biju> wols_, On the bright side it is getting some data this time
[06:22] <nickrud> well, I guess floodbots work
[06:22] <wols_> biju: problem was the sf.net server it tried was down
[06:23] <biju> wols_, Ah so IM not technically doing anything wrong :D
[06:23] <SunmanXII> i think i got kicked off for that
[06:23] <nickrud> SunmanXII, put it up on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:23] <wols_> SunmanXII: pasting in channel is a dumb thing to do. I hope you've learned that now :)
[06:24] <SunmanXII> yea sorry my bad.
[06:24] <SunmanXII> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48811/
[06:24] <sunogbaga> wols_: can i setup a proxy server out of a ws with only 1 nic and a router?
[06:24] <anakin_> Is beagle a better replacement for trackerd? I've read that its in alpha and mostly unusable
[06:24] <wols_> sunogbaga: proxy what and how exactly?
[06:24] <nickrud> SunmanXII, we need the /var/log/Xorg.0.log and output of lspci | grep -i vga as well
[06:25] <wols_> you could set up a proxy on localhost if you wish (e.g. privoxy and tor)
[06:25] <neptunepink> root (hd0,4)\nchainloader +1 just hangs at "Starting up ..."
[06:25] <cre8torx> anyone have a good job
[06:25] <cre8torx> ?
[06:26] <purpleposeidon> wols_: root (hd0,4)\nchainloader +1 just hangs at "Starting up ..."
[06:26] <SunmanXII> xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48812/
[06:26] <nickrud> SunmanXII, first thing, do sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg to get a default xorg.conf
[06:26] <sunogbaga> wols_: i want my ubuntu to be a proxy server however it only has one nic.. i was just thinking if its possibe to connect it to the router and act as a proxy for all the other ws connected to the same router
[06:26] <nickrud> SunmanXII, log out and back in
[06:26] <SunmanXII> nickrud: i tried and it went into the same thing
[06:27] <Kagar> What are some cool applications for Ubuntu? -- just whatever
[06:27] <wols_> purpleposeidon http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48813/
[06:27] <nickrud> SunmanXII, that's not a standard ubuntu xorg.conf ...
[06:28] <wols_> purpleposeidon: if you enter them in the proxy settings of the browsers: yes. will work fine
[06:28] <nickrud> SunmanXII, and we also need that lspci | grep -i vga , it should be one line you can paste here
[06:28] <SunmanXII> nickrud: i know before it went into the failsafe mode it looked fifferent
[06:29] <wols_> sunogbaga: that proxy talk above is for you of course
[06:31] <SunmanXII> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48814/ - does this look normal for xorg.conf
[06:31] <Old_Gregg> Hello!
[06:31] <Old_Gregg> So if I installed World of Warcraft with crossover, where would I find it to unzip my add-ons?    Or just wait for 8.04 and upgrade straight there
[06:32] <SunmanXII> nickrud: thats the lspci | grep -i vga output
[06:33] <Old_Gregg> I'm at a complete loss as to where that would be (newbie at Linux).
[06:33] <wols_> Old_Gregg: depends on your wine configuarion. it could be anywhere, probably under you  ~ tho somewhere under .wine
[06:33] <zero__> can i upgrade using CD?
[06:33] <vb> I have a spare PC at home running ubuntu, I have assigned it a static ip, but after some time it tends to find another ip by itself <via DHCP I assume> , which config file is doing this?
[06:33] <nickrud> SunmanXII, looks much better. Where'd the refresh rates come from, you add them?
[06:33] <Micc> Is there some way I can upgrade to 7.10 when my boot drive is too small? Can I extend it somehow then remove the old kernel before I reboot?
[06:33] <wols_> zero__: yes
[06:33] <zero__> sweet
[06:33] <zero__> ty
[06:33] <Old_Gregg> wols_:  Forgive me, I don't really understand that.  Under me?
[06:33] <Flannel> zero__: Yes, but again you need to upgrade dapper > edgy > feisty > gutsy.  Just like downloading, but without the internet
[06:33] <wols_> vb: /etc/network/interfaces or gnome-network-manager
[06:33] <Flannel> zero__: Your other alternative is to just reinstall.  Or again, wait until hardy, and upgrade dapper > hardy
[06:34] <wols_> Old_Gregg: ~ is shorthand for your home directory
[06:34] <zero__> flannel: why can i upgrade to 8.04 when is out, but not straight to 7.10
[06:34] <Flannel> Micc: Your /boot only as enough room for one kernel?
[06:34] <atpa8a> hello
[06:34] <Old_Gregg> I've looked in /home/greg/  but I don't see anything but desktop.
[06:34] <Micc> Flannel, yeah I don't know why I was so stupid.
[06:34] <wols_> zero__: cause 8.04 is a LTS vresion like dapper is
[06:34] <SunmanXII> nickrud: i dont think so.i did reconfigure xserver-xorg with the default
[06:34] <Flannel> zero__: because 6.06 > 8.04 is designed to be done, LTS to LTS upgrade, that is.
[06:34] <atpa8a> how do i tell update-grub to configure another kernel in menu.lst?
[06:34] <SunmanXII> nickrud: should I do it again?
[06:34] <wols_> Old_Gregg: it's probably a dotfile. starting with a dot -> hidden from normal view
[06:34] <zero__> ah, any idea on when 8
[06:34] <nickrud> SunmanXII, your ati card isn't supported by the default ubuntu driver, you need to hit alt-f2 , run  restricted-manager , and select the restricted ati driver. Then reboot.
[06:34] <zero__> 8.04 comes out?>
[06:35] <Flannel> zero__: april of 08
[06:35] <wols_> ubotu: as the name says: april 2008
[06:35] <jahlin> could anyone tell me why this is missing from my ifconfig ?
[06:35] <zero__> thank you
[06:35] <sunogbaga> Old_Gregg:  ~/.wine/drive_c/
[06:35] <wols_> jahlin: WHAT is missing?
[06:35] <SunmanXII> nickrud: ok, but it worked fine before i tried to reconfigure.
[06:35] <vb> wols_:  I only have one ethernet card on the other pc, named eth0 , which I have assigned it as static on /etc/network/interfaces, however I am also seeing eth1, eth2, ath0 and wlan0 being assigned dhcp
[06:35] <wols_> SunmanXII: there is a backup of the old xorg.conf in the /etc/X11/ directory
[06:36] <jahlin> wols well im trying to make that nic usable, i installed ndiswrapper and followed the wikki
[06:36] <Micc> Flannel 1k-blocks: 35424 used 17569, available 15965 used 53% /boot
[06:36] <Old_Gregg> sunogbaga:  Thanks.  Next question:  How do I navigate there?  Do I need to use a terminal or can i do it in Firefox?
[06:36] <wols_> vb: only if those interfaces actually exist
[06:36] <jahlin> but it doesn't seem to make a wlan0 upon reboot
[06:36] <SunmanXII> nickrud: i enabled the driver for the ATI card and im going to restart now... brb
[06:36] <Flannel> Micc: and you have no old versions of the kernel in there?
[06:36] <vb> wols_: how can I make sure they exist?
[06:36] <wols_> Old_Gregg: firefox is a webbrowser. not a filemanager
[06:36] <Flannel> !away > amidaniel|away
[06:36] <Old_Gregg> wols_:  What is the equivalent of Windows Explorer in Ubuntu?
[06:36] <scguy318> Old_Gregg: Nautilus on GNOME
[06:37] <wols_> Old_Gregg: nautilus
[06:37] <amidaniel|away> Oh, shush
[06:37] <sunogbaga> Old_Gregg: you can use nautilus.. click places->home press CTRL+H to show hidden files
[06:37] <Micc> Flannel: theres a initrd.bak in there
[06:37] <nickrud> Old_Gregg, firefox
[06:37] <wols_> amidaniel|away: please respect the channel rules. Flannel is right
[06:37] <nickrud> Old_Gregg, never mind me, I just read back
[06:37] <sunogbaga> nickrud: that's internet explorers equiv
[06:37] <jahlin> can anyone help me get my network controller working ? i see it in lspci but i can't use it
[06:37] <Flannel> Micc: No older kernel versions? wow.  You really did choose a tiny /boot.  Well, you could move /boot off its own partition (back ot your /) to do the upgrade
[06:38] <wols_> jahlin: what controller is it?
[06:38] <jahlin> wols_:  see above
[06:38] <nickrud> sunogbaga, I almost never hear windows users say internet explorer :)
[06:38] <Old_Gregg> nickrud:  Sorry for my newbness, but I'm not seeing Nautilus.  How do I open it?
[06:38] <wols_> jahlin: answer my question please
[06:38] <simimi> I'm having a problem and I am in need of ideas on fixing it. Recently my notebook became so slow that it is unusable. I am doing this from a live cd. No matter what I boot into, Gnome or Openbox, it is so slow that typing or mouse movement lags behind. I can not run the memtest from the grub menu, my system shuts down on me. It seems to work ok if I boot into recovery mode, or use a live cd, but my actual run is quite slow. I can not think of any other way t
[06:38] <nickrud> Old_Gregg, places->home will start it up for you
[06:38] <jahlin> wols_: sorry, exec didn't output to chan sec
[06:39] <jahlin> 00:0a.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5416 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless PCI Adapter (rev 01)
[06:39] <Micc> Flannel: can I do that while its running?
[06:39] <jahlin> 00:0a.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5416 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless PCI Adapter (rev 01)
[06:39] <Old_Gregg> nickrud:  Just noticed the other guy pointed me there.  I'm in it now.  :D  Thanks
[06:39] <sunogbaga> nickrud: my mistake also when i said firefox is internet explorers equiv.. :D
[06:39] <wols_> jahlin: and madwifi explicitly doesn't support that chip?
[06:39] <nickrud> sunogbaga, rflol
[06:39] <jahlin> wols_: pardon me ?
[06:39] <Micc> Flannel, I mean, don't I need to be in single user mode?
[06:39] <wols_> jahlin: the driver for atheros cards is madwifi. while you can use ndiswrapper, you shouldn't
[06:40] <jahlin> ooh
[06:40] <jahlin> so remove ndiswrapper and get the madwifi driver ?
[06:40] <wols_> !madwifi | jahlin
[06:40] <ubotu> jahlin: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:40] <Old_Gregg> nickrud:  I don't have anything in here like .wine
[06:40] <wols_> jahlin: pretty much
[06:40] <Flannel> Micc: Um, hmm.  I guess I've never thought about it.  Probably not, but its certainly worth a try.  A liveCD is what I'd choose.  Don't delete /boot, just remove it from fstab, and then copy the stuff (cpio method, not cp) to /boot
[06:40] <nickrud> Old_Gregg, the rest of the other guys post said how to see it, press ctl-H with the mouse over the window
[06:40] <simimi> any ideas?
[06:41] <Eyemean> hi, does anyone know why lucida handwriting font does not look right in openoffce?
[06:41] <nickrud> Old_Gregg, or, View->Hidden Files
[06:41] <wols_> simimi: P4 laptop?
[06:41] <Old_Gregg> nickrud:  I did that.  I have like .gnome .gnome2, etc. but no .wine or .crossover
[06:41] <simimi> HPdv 2000
[06:41] <nickrud> Old_Gregg, that means you haven't run winecfg yet
[06:41] <rhz> How come there is not /usr/include/GL/glut.h on my ubuntu hard drive?
[06:41] <vb> wols_:  I am trying to connect the spare pc to this laptop that has internet connection, I am able to ping www.google.com from the spare pc, but I am getting almost 50% packet loss, consequently the page does not load up on firefox, and it is stuck at waiting for www.google.com
[06:41] <wols_> simimi: does it use a P4, yes or no?
[06:41] <nickrud> Old_Gregg, according to my very limited knowledge of wine, for more wine questions you'll need someone else :)
[06:41] <sunogbaga> Old_Gregg: run winecfg first
[06:41] <Old_Gregg> nickrud:  I have a .nautilus but I went in there and there's nothing there.  And I run Crossover.  I've installed it and used it to install WoW
[06:42] <riaal> Can I limit ssh login to only the home folder? Like chroot in an ftp program
[06:42] <wols_> vb: ifconfig -a
[06:42] <Old_Gregg> nickrud:  Thanks for the help just the same.  :)
[06:42] <nickrud> Old_Gregg, wow runs fine on crossover?
[06:42] <simimi> wols_:  a P4? I am not sure what you are asking for... I do not think so, but then again
[06:42] <Old_Gregg> nickrud: Yessir.
[06:42]  * nickrud files that away
[06:42] <wols_> simimi: what kind of cpu. it could be it is overheating
[06:42] <SunmanXII> nickrud, wols_: everything worked, i can change my resolution now. thanks a lot guys!
[06:43] <osqay> My Ubuntu doesnot detect my embedded webcam, Sonix, on my laptop..anyone can help me..
[06:43] <Old_Gregg> sunogbaga: Any idea where this directory is?  Where did WoW get installed?  Is there a way I can run a search for it?
[06:43] <simimi> wols_: AMD Turion 64x2
[06:43] <vb> wols_:  I dont know why eth0 ip address is changing by itself, I made it static in /etc/network/interfaces and removed other eth's
[06:43] <wols_> simimi: possibly the old mainstay of acpi troubles
[06:43] <wols_> vb: gnome network manager?
[06:43] <Old_Gregg> AHA!
[06:43] <nickrud> SunmanXII, good to hear. If you're interested in running compiz for the pretty desktop, install xserver-xgl and emerald and compizconfig-settings-manager , then log out and back in again
[06:43] <Old_Gregg> Found it!
[06:43] <sunogbaga> Old_Gregg: yes of course... run updatedb first then run find <what you need to find>
[06:43] <Old_Gregg> Checked the properties of the desktop icon
[06:44] <simimi> The notebook has worked fine for a while but suddenly nothing, it even has a cooling mat... acpi really? Wow I never would have guessed that... but acpi is turned off on kernel boot, boot with noacpi
[06:44] <Moult> heh: Bit Torrent Clients are usually the fastest, most affordable and most convenient way to share files among many users. Most Bit Torrent P2P users can find plenty of files available and download them with ease. With the explosion of broadband, you can easily find and download files of any size, from mp3's to large multi gigabyte video files.
[06:44] <Moult> seems extremely slow for me
[06:44] <wols_> vb: just uninstall you dhclient. no more dhcp :)
[06:44] <riaal> anyone know if I can limit ssh access to only the root folder?
[06:44] <riaal> user root folder, ofc
[06:44] <vb> wols_: how to uninstall ?
[06:44] <Moult> downloading the ubuntu .iso at 0.9kb per second
[06:44] <Old_Gregg> FOR THOSE USING CROSSOVER:   .cxoffice is where it defaults to as your "C:"
[06:44] <wols_> vb: like you uninstall everything else
[06:44] <jahlin> wols_:  should i just just run make disclean then make then sudo make install ?
[06:45] <randy> \join #pida
[06:45] <sunogbaga> Moult: that maybe a router/NAT/Firewall issue
[06:45] <wols_> vb:  dpkg -l|grep -i dhcp
[06:45] <wols_> jahlin: no
[06:45] <Moult> sunogbaga: any ideas how i can identify and fix whatever problem there might be?
[06:45] <macogw> jahlin: might have to ./configure again after make distclean, not sure
[06:45] <scguy318> Old_Gregg: it's not find, locate :P
[06:46] <wols_> jahlin: you should never use make when the software is already in ubuntu
[06:46] <sunogbaga> Moult: usually it should easily get fixed by port forwarding
[06:46] <dadehoog> Eagleray: if you haven't changed it, run "uname -a" in a terminal
[06:46] <Vinno> Is there any programs that can convert a ntfs partition into like a linux partition without deleteing the stuff on it
[06:46] <sunogbaga> scguy318: that would be my mistake..   :D
[06:47] <Moult> sunogbaga: an yes, the thing said that the port was not available or something
[06:47] <simimi> here is the link to my forum thread, it at least contains a dmesg output
[06:47] <simimi> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=643813&highlight=crazy
[06:47] <jahlin> sorrry install*
[06:47] <Vinno> Damit.
[06:48] <Moult> sunogbaga: yes it says that the port could not be forwarded...however i don't know how to fix it
[06:48] <nickrud> simimi, installing a really light environment would tell you if it's gnome slowing you down. A simple check
[06:49] <zoexii> hello!  I have a question, it is this: I've just started using pidgin, and I realize this: when I am paying attention to chats, noises drive me nuts, if I turn them off however, I neglect my conversations with friends.  is it possible to make a script that would make a noise when a message containing a certian string is received?  This functionality seems to be available for chat (chimes on detecting username) but not for IM.
[06:49] <simimi> nickrud: I ran with Openbox only and it is the same, even the boot is long
[06:50] <nickrud> simimi, ah, misread what you wrote then. Over my head really. Sorry
[06:50] <sunogbaga> Moult: see http://portforward.com/
[06:51] <macogw> zoexii: umm you could install pidgin-libnotify and then you can set it to give little pop ups for different events, like sign on or sign off, or just to show the messages you're receiving as you get them
[06:51] <simimi> nickrud:  no worries, I'll keep looking/guessing I suppose
[06:51] <nickrud> simimi, ask here off and on, real devs sneak through now and then
[06:51] <simimi> nickrud:  okies
[06:51] <_Casey_> i just installed the new 7.10 from a cd and im having tons of problems
[06:52] <riaal> please? can I limit user ssh access only to the users home-folder?
[06:52] <zoexii> macogw: will that work with a compiled version?  (the one in packages wasn't compatible with my employer's jabber service)
[06:52] <ohsnap> i love me some ubuntu :O
[06:53] <_Casey_> i only love ubuntu when it works correctly
[06:53] <ZippidyDoo> whoops didn't want to join this evil channel
[06:53] <_Casey_> i cant install alot of stuff
[06:53] <_Casey_> andrew why did you join ;x
[06:53] <ohsnap> yeah, i wish i could get photoshop working :x
[06:53] <nickrud> _Casey_, like what?
[06:53] <simimi> so any other ideas anyone? Did anyone see anything odd in the dmesg?
[06:53] <_Casey_> well
[06:54] <macogw> zoexii: umm....you can do "apt-get source pidgin-libnotify" and then compile that.  because no, the binary wouldnt recognize your compiled one
[06:54] <Micc> my apt is out of date. I can't install or remove anything.
[06:54] <_Casey_> i cant get xchat or konversation or my alsa driver or kwifimanager
[06:54] <Micc> and I've tried install -f and it dies on lib32asound2
[06:54] <_Casey_> bunch of stuff not working
[06:54] <zebginen> hello. i'm using gutsy and having a weird problem with my second hard drive. the main hard drive is SATA, but because of space and cabling issues the secondary (IDE) hard drive is slave to the dvd burner (i'm saying this cuz i suspect it may be the root of the problem). i'm dual booting vista/gutsy and everytime i boot to gutsy my hard drives switch from sda to sdb (ie: sometimes the primary is sda, sometimes is sdb). this is rea
[06:54] <zebginen> lly annoying because i have to rewrite fstab by had each time and remount. does anyone have any clue as to why this is happening?
[06:54] <nickrud> _Casey_, try system->admin->software sources, make sure the first four are ticked, and the cdrom is not
[06:55] <_Casey_> well no, like i see them but they wont install
[06:55] <nickrud> Micc, could you put the complete output of sudo apt-get -f install on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:55] <Moult> can i pause the torrent download, reboot my router, then change the port on my torrent client then resume the download...and will it be faster after that?
[06:55] <nickrud> _Casey_, could you do the same with sudo apt-get install xchat
[06:55] <Casey> god
[06:55] <Casey> highlights suck :\
[06:55] <cafuego> yes?
[06:56] <rencore_> are the repos slow tonight?
[06:56] <nickrud> rflol
[06:56] <macogw> zebginen: i wouldnt be surprised if you're right about the slave-to-dvd thing being the trouble.  you can get a IDE->SATA converter, i think, to hook up your IDE drive as a slave on the SATA cable
[06:56] <zoexii> Moult: what client are you using? most support restarting torrents.
[06:56] <_Casey_> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[06:56] <_Casey_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[06:56] <simimi> wonder if a reinstall would fix it
[06:56] <macogw> _Casey_: it's either in use right now (auto-updater checking for updates) or you didnt sudo
[06:56] <nickrud> _Casey_, close synaptic and/or update-manager
[06:57] <_Casey_> ah ty
[06:57] <simimi> thank everyone! Thanks wols_

[06:57] <lonejack> hi, I need an advice, I'm a php developer what is the better choice to install tools for deveolpment, xampp or apache-mysql-php separated?
[06:57] <zoexii> Moult: ?? really? on wine? yes, uTorrent can restart downloads.
[06:58] <zebginen> macogw: hmmm. i'll give that a try.
[06:58] <nickrud> lonejack, stick with the ubuntu stuff, you'll be happier.

[07:01] <Creationist> Could someone please help me figure out why I can't add items to "Sessions" to make them autostart when I login.  I can add them, but when I re-login, the programs don't start and they're no longer listed in "sessions"
[07:01] <newbieme> hello! im looking for linux-compatible server/desktop motherboard. any suggestions? preferrably on Intel or Asus boards. thanks in advance!
[07:02] <zebginen> macogw: thank you.
[07:02] <nickrud> Creationist, if my memory is right, you have to hit the save session button on the last tab. Could be wrong though, it's been a while
[07:02] <Creationist> nickrud: Well, that will automatically start whichever programs are currently running when I click that button.
[07:03] <lonejack> nickrud, so what ubuntu component can I install... Oh,... excuse me, this is my first day on ubuntu
[07:03] <nickrud> Creationist, yes, trying to remember...
[07:03] <noidtluom> ok testing port now
[07:03] <NeT_DeMoN> can any one help me with my sound problems??
[07:04] <nickrud> lonejack, apache2 , php5 , mysql-server-5.0
[07:04] <henu_> Creationist, you have the "enabled" box ticked right? :)
[07:04] <DarkW0lf> NeT_DeMoN: what is it now?? :P
[07:04] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf: still the same, just seeing if some one can help me further
[07:04] <nickrud> Creationist, heh
[07:05] <noidtluom> hmmm the port still doesn't forward
[07:05] <nickrud> Creationist, been a while since I played with sessions
[07:05] <DarkW0lf> NeT_DeMoN: what's the problem?
[07:05] <cerealkiller> guys
[07:05] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf: it just wont work
[07:05] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf: i just dont know why
[07:05] <Creationist> henu_: Of course.  But the entries are completely removed when I log out.
[07:05] <riaal> Can I restrict an ssh user to only its homefolder?
[07:05] <NeT_DeMoN> darkw0lf: bazhang said it could be a wireing problem
[07:05] <KiD_ChAoS> hey everytime i hit ctrl-alt-F12 my computer does something wierd
[07:06] <Creationist> KiD_ChAoS: Then stop hitting that.
[07:06] <cerealkiller> why is it i cant run office 2003 using wine, it runs but it prompts that it is not installed for the current user
[07:06] <DarkW0lf> KiD_ChAoS: don't worry about it
[07:06] <amidaniel> riaal: You can restrict them to a secure bash shell, which won't let them leave their home folder.
[07:06] <KiD_ChAoS> lol
[07:06] <riaal> amidaniel: great, what to google for?
[07:06] <NeT_DeMoN> cntrl+alt+F12?
[07:06] <KiD_ChAoS> yeah
[07:07] <lonejack> nickrud, I'll do that, last thing, with add/remove option from menu isn't possible direct installation, have I to do apt-get apache2 and so on?
[07:07] <NeT_DeMoN> kid_chaos: its supposed to
[07:07] <KiD_ChAoS> a shortcut key for radmin in running in wine but radmin doesn't grab it, the OS does

[07:07] <schmicck> KiD_ChAoS, just hit ctrl-alt F7 to get back to X
[07:07] <KiD_ChAoS> do you know what its doing
[07:07] <nickrud> lonejack, you can do that, with all on the same line. Also, there's system->admin->synaptic , add/remove is a brain dead version of synaptic
[07:07] <noidtluom> can anybody here help me get this port forward on my uTorrent?
[07:07] <DarkW0lf> KiD_ChAoS: there are 7 different window types of things
[07:08] <staykovmarin> hi i am trying to update my system  from a cd, to gutsy but i think i broke something. when i do the update, it tells me that it can only do a partial update now
[07:08] <DarkW0lf> if you hit ctrl+alt+F1 you get one of the command line windows
[07:08] <bobby> ctrl alt f7 gets you back tyo the gui
[07:08] <NeT_DeMoN> do i have to type the ID just like they have it to come up red on their screen?
[07:08] <KiD_ChAoS> DarkW0lf, ok ic
[07:08] <lonejack> nickrud, thank you!!! And great community
[07:08] <DarkW0lf> there are 6 of those, and then there's ctrl+alt+F7 which brings back to the runlevel 5 (X)
[07:08] <schmicck> Ctrl-Alt F1-F6 are normal Text login consoles.... F7 is the X.. F8 kinda logs stuff.
[07:08] <IndyGunFreak> staykovmarin: any particular reason you can't just download the upgrade?
[07:09] <staykovmarin> IndyGunFreak: i am on dial up
[07:09] <henu_> NeT_DeMoN, yes, but you can type only part of it and hit tab
[07:09] <DarkW0lf> there you go you get a whole bunch of answers :P
[07:09] <IndyGunFreak> staykovmarin: ok...
[07:09] <NeT_DeMoN> henu_: ok thanks
[07:09] <KiD_ChAoS> lol
[07:09] <nickrud> lonejack, one wierd thing: the last time I installed those three, firefox refused to run php, wanted to download it. Tried several times, then in frustration told it to download the file. Boom, it started working.
[07:09] <atpa8a> hmm
[07:09] <atpa8a> a lil problem...
[07:09] <IndyGunFreak> staykovmarin: i've saw that problem mentioned here before, but don't know the solution,
[07:10] <atpa8a> just installed ubuntu-server and it always boots me into grub prompt
[07:10] <staykovmarin> okay i will look it up

[07:10] <KiD_ChAoS> hello steven3454
[07:10] <DarkW0lf> atpa8a: it'll do that
[07:10] <atpa8a> when i try to run grub-install it says: The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
[07:10] <IndyGunFreak> atpa8a: are you sure its not a CLI command prompt, and not a grub prompt?
[07:11] <DarkW0lf> oh
[07:11] <DarkW0lf> nevermind
[07:11] <atpa8a> it's a grub shell prompt
[07:11] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[07:11] <Jeah> Hello everyone.  I'm having problems with the physical eject button on my DVD ROM drive.  It doesn't eject when there's a disc in, despite the fact that it works all the time in Windows and BIOS, and in Ubuntu without a disc.  I've read up and posted in the forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=637590), and it seems like 1) this is supposed to be enabled, but 2) there are other people having this problem as well, and it seems to
[07:11] <steven3454> I just reinstalled ubuntu on a virtual machine and I'm using it simultaneously with windows....and im LOVING IT!!!!!!
[07:12] <nickrud> steven3454, you are going about things backwards you know
[07:12] <schmicck> Jeah, did you try to EJECT it from Nautilus?
[07:12] <steven3454> how so ( i have a feeling what you mean)
[07:12] <atpa8a> any cure?
[07:12] <IndyGunFreak> steven3454: thats kinda like putting a lawn mower engine in a corvette
[07:12] <DarkW0lf> Jeah: you have to unmount the disc first
[07:12] <NeT_DeMoN> can any one help me with my borders disappearing?
[07:13] <Jeah> schmicck: Don't know if I've tried Nautilus, but I can definitely do it in a terminal.  I'd just like for the actual button to work.
[07:13] <nickrud> NeT_DeMoN, weren't we talking about frozen windows last night?
[07:13] <noidtluom> argh it keeps on saying that the port isn't open...any help to open a port for uTorrent?
[07:13] <schmicck> After mounting  it, the physical eject button is disabled .. cd must be ... Ejected or unmounted.... try with 'sudo umount /cdrom' (omit quotes)
[07:13] <kayce> Hello, how do i set boot 'noapic'
[07:13] <NeT_DeMoN> nickrud: i think, but no one told me how to solve it, it did it again today
[07:13] <tubetopbaby> howdy All!!!
[07:14] <steven3454> well whenever i tried using ubuntu alone without windows, I would always go back to windows due to the ease and availability of software made for it, yet I love the stability of ubuntu and all the other cliche things about it. So i fugre this is a good half-way point
[07:14] <josiahw_> I use DVDFab Platinum to rip my dvd's to avi divx on my windows machine... what would be a good app to use in ubuntu?
[07:14] <nickrud> NeT_DeMoN, in ccsm, there's an option under window management, move windows. Make sure it's ticked. One possible answer
[07:14] <Jeah> DarkW0lf: Yeah, I know, but it seems like there should be a way to have the eject button automatically umount and eject.  Isn't that what Windows, etc is doing?  Plus people seem to be saying that this has been the default behavior since Dapper or Edgy or something.  But for some reason it's not doing it with my DVD ROM.
[07:14] <lonejack> nickrud, thx, precious advices, have you a good day
[07:14] <NeT_DeMoN> nickrud: thanks
[07:14] <nickrud> lonejack, yw, see you about
[07:14] <tubetopbaby> I am trying to setup vnc...but I dont have System > Preferences > Remote Desktop ....but vino is installed in the synaptic
[07:15] <schmicck> Jeah, no way to make the button eject the disk. Theoreticaly, the button could run a script to eject it, but havn't seen such.
[07:15] <DarkW0lf> Jeah: windows doesn't reall "mount" things as such
[07:15] <kayce> what is the file and where is it to set boot to 'noapic' please?
[07:15] <tubetopbaby> is there a cmmand line way to start that configuration?
[07:15] <DarkW0lf> the disc seems to just co-exist with windows :P
[07:16] <Old_Gregg> What's the command to make all files in my current directory readable/writable/removable?
[07:16] <tubetopbaby> you mean chmod
[07:16] <Old_Gregg> Thanks!
[07:16] <schmicck> chmod 666 ... for everyone
[07:16] <Old_Gregg> chmod 666?
[07:16] <josiahw_> 777
[07:16] <tubetopbaby> if you want x it would be 777
[07:17] <nickrud> tubetopbaby, right click the application menu, and select edit menus. Make sure remote desktop is enabled
[07:17] <NeT_DeMoN> nickrud: it is but it still does it
[07:17] <josiahw_> anybody know of any good dvd ripping software?
[07:17] <Old_Gregg> So I would type chmod 777 and then I can copy over any files in the directory?
[07:17] <nickrud> NeT_DeMoN, oh, well, I ran across that while reading up on compiz and wondered ...
[07:17] <schmicck> thats executable also.. 666.. read write... 777 r/w/x
[07:17] <NeT_DeMoN> nickrud: thanks any ways though
[07:17] <kayce> does anyone know?  i really need to set boot to noapic
[07:18] <tubetopbaby> i dont see it at all
[07:18] <atpa8a> hmm
[07:18] <atpa8a> so what's up with this grub?
[07:18] <Old_Gregg> Didn't work.  What's the equivalent of *.* in ubuntu?
[07:18] <Jeah> schmicck: Well, I just tried it with my CD burner (which I don't use as much because it's crazy loud) and it ejected with the button.  Seems to be limited to DVD drives, and I can't imagine that's the way it's supposed to be.
[07:18] <Old_Gregg> like "chmod 777 *.*"
[07:18] <compwiz18> how do you check for bad sectors on a hard drive in Ubuntu?
[07:18] <Jeah> DarkW0lf: Well, I just tried it with my CD burner (which I don't use as much because it's crazy loud) and it ejected with the button.  Seems to be limited to DVD drives, and I can't imagine that's the way it's supposed to be.
[07:18] <tubetopbaby> do you want to do allthe files under a directory?
[07:18] <afabian> It'd be neat if Ubuntu had something like OpenSUSE's deltarpm.  It saves a ton of bandwidth downloading updates.
[07:18] <NeT_DeMoN> nickrud: your the only one whos attempted to help me at all besides darkw0lf
[07:18] <Old_Gregg> tubetopbaby:  Yes
[07:19] <nickrud> tubetopbaby, try running vino-preferences in a terminal
[07:19] <tubetopbaby> it would be chmod -R 777 /mydir
[07:19] <Flannel> Don't do that.  (Recursive chmod)
[07:19] <rkj> Newbie question: I've downloaded a file castget-1.0.1.tar.gz - how do I install it?
[07:19] <tubetopbaby> the -R is recursive
[07:19] <kayce> nevermind, found it
[07:19] <compwiz18> chmod 777 mydir/* would chmod all files in mydir, but not recurively
[07:19] <cre8torx> hi
[07:19] <lucian_> if i install an application with aptitude, and then remove that application wtih apptitude will it ALSO remove all the dependencies that it installed for that single application?
[07:20] <afabian> compwiz18: Hmm.  That's tricky.  A lot of modern drives detect bad sectors and try to remap accesses to them.  You'd .. hm.  You'd probably want a diagnostic utility from the drive manufacturer, if you can get it.  Maybe from their site.
[07:20] <tubetopbaby> make sure you don't do it for /
[07:20] <NeT_DeMoN> any one know why everytime i try to download something it stops?
[07:20] <nickrud> lucian_, that is aptitude's strength, although with apt-get auto-remove apt-get is getting closer
[07:20] <tubetopbaby> just a single folder with some files in it...can cause major issues with everybody...cause they can mess with ya
[07:20] <ericvw> Is there a way to diff a local directory and a remote (ssh) directory?
[07:20] <compwiz18> afabian: ok. I've got a drive that randomly has IO errors, so I'm thinking thats what I want? I've checked the fs and stuff
[07:21] <schmicck> lucian, yes, if there is no other app that depends on it.... use 'sudo apt-get autoclean' to clean stuff up after install/uninstall
[07:21] <lucian_> nickrud: thanks... im installing a one-time use and i dont want all its dependencies remaining installed
[07:21] <Old_Gregg> What's the command to delete files?
[07:21] <Flannel> Old_Gregg: rm
[07:21] <schmicck> Old_Gregg: rm
[07:21] <NeT_DeMoN> i cant even download updates
[07:21] <NeT_DeMoN> it stops by itself
[07:22] <nickrud> schmicck, autoclean clears out the download cache, not the installed packages
[07:22] <Old_Gregg> command for deleting an entire directory?
[07:22] <Old_Gregg> and thanks so far guys
[07:22] <Old_Gregg> :D
[07:22] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install packagename NeT_DeMoN in the terminal and tell me what error it gives you
[07:22] <Wettoad> Old_Gregg: rm -rf dirname
[07:22] <Wettoad> Old_Gregg: man rm
[07:22] <Wettoad> Old_Gregg: q to quit man
[07:22] <compwiz18> Old_Gregg: read the rm man page first :)
[07:23] <Jeah> Does anyone know why the eject button on my DVD ROM doesn't work in Ubuntu with a disc in when the one on my CD burner does?
[07:23] <DarkW0lf> Old_Gregg: you could try rm -rf / if you feel game :P
[07:23] <schmicck> nickrud: yep, I just mention it as cleaning stuff up after the install.. :P
[07:23] <nickrud> Jeah, sounds like a hardware issue
[07:23] <Wettoad> Jeah: if the disk is mounted, the eject key will be locked in linux
[07:23] <Old_Gregg> Gar!  What's the command to drop back one directory?  I hit cd.. and nothing.  so I just hit cd and I'm all the way back.  :(
[07:23] <afabian> compwiz18: Hmm.  I don't know, really.  I/O errors are bad.  Oddly, I don't know of any Linux programs, or even any modern Windows programs, that attempt to detect bad sectors on a drive.  Probably because of the thing I just described, with the drives trying to remap them anyway.
[07:23] <Flannel> DarkW0lf: Things like that are liable to get you kicked
[07:23] <Old_Gregg> cd..
[07:23] <amidaniel> Old_Gregg: cd ..
[07:23] <Old_Gregg> mt
[07:23] <stdin> Old_Gregg: "cd -"
[07:23] <Old_Gregg> oh\
[07:23] <Old_Gregg> thanks
[07:24] <Flannel> !cli | Old_Gregg
[07:24] <ubotu> Old_Gregg: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[07:24] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok
[07:24] <compwiz18> afabian: the drive sounds fine, but it isn't working so I'm kinda at a dead end
[07:24] <schmicck> Old_Gregg: cd ..   don't forget the space between
[07:24] <DarkW0lf> Flannel: ok I'll stop :P
[07:24] <afabian> compwiz18: Hmm.  Well, about all I can really think of is a little silly.. but, say, if you have a backup...
[07:24]  * nickrud thinks that's about the most zero tolerance thing there is
[07:24] <Old_Gregg> Okay, so Keep setting chmod to 777 for a directory and then when I try to extract over top of it, it keeps giving me errors
[07:24] <afabian> Boot into a Live CD environment, cat /dev/zero > /dev/sda or whatever the drive is... and then...
[07:24] <Jeah> nickrud: It works in BIOS, Windows, and Ubuntu (without a disc in), so I'm a little hesitant to blame the hardware.  I also posted in the forums, and several other people said they had the same problem with DVD ROM's.
[07:24] <afabian> cmp /dev/zero /dev/sda
[07:25] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: packagename is not what you install; put the name of the package there--then tell me the error message in a pastebin
[07:25] <Jeah> Wettoad: Yeah, but for my CD burner it automatically ejects (even with a mounted disc).
[07:25] <afabian> If you can't dump zeros to the block device and read them all back out, that's a pretty fair indication that the drive is bad.
[07:25] <compwiz18> afabian: and the weird part is it works for a while, and things like fsck have no issues, but mounting and using the fs kills it quickly (and yes, I have backups ... :)
[07:25] <nickrud> Jeah, do they all talk about the same brand and or model?
[07:25] <DarkW0lf> I did rm -rf / in a damn small linux virtual box just for fun. I stopped it half way through and tried any command and it said "You don't exist. Go away..."
[07:25] <Wettoad> Jeah: check if its in /etc/fstab, one may have user permissions and the other not
[07:25] <afabian> compwiz18: You might also check the drive's SMART info.  A lot of modern drives have that, too.  But, it doesn't always tell you you have a problem.
[07:26] <bazhang> Jeah: what about eject device from the burner app? is it k3b or what?
[07:26] <compwiz18> afabian: good idea, I'd forgotten about that
[07:26] <Jeah> nickrud: That didn't come up.  Maybe I should post and see if I can get responses to that.
[07:26] <rkj> how do you install a <...>.tar.gz application?
[07:26] <nickrud> button should work, mine all do now under gnome
[07:26] <afabian> compwiz18: ext3 file system?
[07:27] <Jeah> nickrud: The drive is Toshiba, I believe...
[07:27] <Wettoad> rkj: is it source code, or a binary?
[07:27] <Old_Gregg> Is there a way to do a wildcard on rm -rf?  Like, I want to remove all directories that start with CT.  Do I go rm -rf CT*  ?
[07:27] <afabian> I tried XFS once.  That was a good time.  Strange, strange things happened.  Heh.
[07:27] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: what do you mean??
[07:27] <NetLarIrvine> what is the main difference between Xubuntu and Ubuntu??
[07:27] <compwiz18> afabian: jfs
[07:27] <rkj> Wettoad: I think it's a binary
[07:27] <Flannel> NetLarIrvine: Ubuntu uses gnome, Xubuntu, XFCE
[07:27] <Wettoad> Old_Gregg: * is a wildcard ? is a wildcard, there are lots of them
[07:27] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: oh, never mind, i get what you mean now
[07:27] <Wettoad> Old_Gregg: you can even use the output of ther commands
[07:27] <NetLarIrvine> So it is just the interface??
[07:27] <afabian> compwiz18: Hmm.  Well, I can't say much about jfs, but my XFS experience taught me to... expect weird things from high-end file systems on my lowly desktop machine.
[07:27] <Jeah> Wettoad: /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
[07:27] <Jeah> /dev/hdd /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
[07:27] <Flannel> NetLarIrvine: That is Ubuntu and Xubuntu the flavors, they are both flavors of Ubuntu (the distro)
[07:28] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: open up the terminal
[07:28] <schmicck> rkj: extract it first with 'tar xvf <filename>' the extracted files should have a README with instructions.
[07:28] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang:
[07:28] <NeT_DeMoN> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[07:28] <NeT_DeMoN> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[07:28] <NetLarIrvine> Still the same Linux underneath Flannel?
[07:28] <afabian> I just stick to ext3 these days.
[07:28] <Flannel> NetLarIrvine: Yes.  They both are the same except for the GUI they come default with.  They use the same repos, and you can actualy turn one into the other by just adding/removing packages.
[07:28] <Wettoad> Jeah: has one of them been mounted by root
[07:28] <Flannel> NetLarIrvine: Identical
[07:28] <DrMitch> everytime i try to start mysql, i get an error about "debian-maint-sys" not having the right PW. so i went in and changed the password to match the one in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf, but still doesn't work...any clue what's up?
[07:28] <compwiz18> afabian: this drive has always been funny (its a seagate freeagent external drive w/ usb) but its usually worked ok
[07:28] <Jeah> bazhang: Yeah, I can eject from the terminal, but I'd love to get the button working, and can't imagine it would be designed to work automatically for everything BUT dvd rom's.
[07:28] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: you need to check the !aptfix command
[07:29] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok
[07:29] <schmicck> NeT_DeMoN: Close Synaptic
[07:29] <NetLarIrvine> I have an older machine that I want to set up as file/web server, but still want the gui interface
[07:29] <bazhang> Jeah: you are burning from the command line?
[07:29] <afabian> compwiz18: any recent configuration changes that might've coincided with the new errors?
[07:29] <DarkW0lf> I was thinking of installing Kubuntu but I realised it uses Kde and I stopped using that a while ago in favour of Gnome
[07:29] <Flannel> NetLarIrvine: You could use xubuntu, or you could install some other WM, like fluxbox, which is even more lightweight
[07:29] <compwiz18> afabian: nope, the only thing being it was recently in an airplane....
[07:30] <Jeah> Wettoad: Interesting question.  I'm not sure.  They're both automounted, but the DVD drive had the disc in from startup, whereas the burner had the disc inserted later.  Would that make a difference?
[07:30] <NetLarIrvine> Which is better?
[07:30] <compwiz18> afabian: but I've never had issues with that before
[07:30] <atpa8a> grrr
[07:30] <Wettoad> Old_Gregg: you can also download mc, it does lots of file management things
[07:30] <bazhang> !aptfix | NeT_DeMoN
[07:30] <ubotu> NeT_DeMoN: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[07:30] <_Casey_> I have a built-in "Chicony USB 2.0 Camera" as it is called, how do i make it work.
[07:30] <Jeah> bazhang: The burner is actually the one that's working right.  The DVD ROM is the one that won't eject for whatever reason.
[07:30] <afabian> compwiz18: Hmm.  Well, one other idea that comes to mind.. and, a manufacturer's utility disk can usually do this... you could .. ah, yes.
[07:30] <Wettoad> Jeah: you can eject it as root and then try again
[07:30] <macogw> bazhang: O_o thats the weirdest command ive ever seen
[07:30] <Flannel> NetLarIrvine: they all suit different purposes.  One of the nice (and sometimes worse) things about FOSS is usually nothing is "best" they just all serve different needs.
[07:31] <afabian> compwiz18: This is probably what you will want to do.  Use the manufacturer's utility disk to do a low-level reformat of the drive.  I'm not exactly sure what it is, but it's below the filesystem level.
[07:31] <bazhang> macogw: haha--that is nothing compared to kde4broken
[07:31] <Jeah> Wettoad: actually, I don't have to sudo to eject it, so maybe that indicates it's not the problem.  but it's definitely worth trying.  One sec.
[07:31] <Flannel> NetLarIrvine: fluxbox, for instance, is more light weight, but you lose some prettiness and some functionality, which you may or may not want
[07:31] <afabian> compwiz18: if any process is designed to detect / correct physical read/write errors, that process will do it.  It might flag some sectors as bad.
[07:31] <NetLarIrvine> I have always liked Ubuntu, they seem more user friendly
[07:31] <cre8torx> what graphix cards do you people recommend
[07:31] <Old_Gregg> Thanks again for your help everyone.  I'm gonna go check it and make sure it worked.  :D
[07:31]  * nickrud goes off to see what fuser is doing, he just deleted that lock
[07:31] <_Casey_> get an nvidia
[07:31] <_Casey_> 880 GTX
[07:31] <_Casey_> 8800*
[07:31] <macogw> bazhang: it looks like you're telling the terminal "f whatever user has locked it.  i want it!"
[07:31] <Wettoad> cre8torx: I prefer nvidia, because we do a lot of multithreaded opengl
[07:32] <compwiz18> afabian: ok. The only problem is it has more data on it then the other drives I have, but thats what rm is for... :)
[07:32] <NetLarIrvine> I have 256 mg RAM on a 500 mgz machine
[07:32] <schmicck> Stay away from ATI.. Nvidia stuff is great.. (I got an ATI.. sniff... )
[07:32] <_Casey_> NVIDIA 8800 GTX is the top of the line PCI-e graphics card
[07:32] <afabian> compwiz18:  Yeah.  I know how it is.  I was just converting an external USB harddrive from NTFS to ext3 today.  Ooof.
[07:32] <Old_Gregg> Oh hey, what do you guys suggest for a top of the line sound card that has Linux 32-bit support?
[07:32] <_Casey_> if your looking for AGP try the 7900 i think
[07:32] <lucian_> Remastersys is a wonderful OS backup program for *buntus, but is there an alternative that doesn't use casper & ubiquity on the backup cd?
[07:32] <bazhang> macogw: yeah, it is kinda funny
[07:32] <NetLarIrvine> That should be enough for Xubuntu right Flannel?
[07:32] <Jeah> Wettoad: Dang, that didnt' help.  I thought we were onto something there.
[07:32] <nickrud> schmicck, we need a club. One everyone fights to get out of
[07:32] <lucian_> and still maintain livecd
[07:32] <macogw> Wettoad: i also recommend nvidia if you want very nice graphics.  intel and older ati cards, like the radeon 9250 have very good support and open source drivers though
[07:33] <piratepenguin> what the hell am I supposed to do now since Ubuntu screwed up it's edgy -> feisty upgrade!?
[07:33] <compwiz18> afabian: yeah, and I've been wanting to switch it to ext3 anyway, jfs is weird sometimes
[07:33] <_Casey_> pirate
[07:33] <schmicck> nickrud: .. yea man.
[07:33] <_Casey_> mine did too
[07:33] <_Casey_> reformat
[07:33] <piratepenguin> I cannot bloody believe Ubuntu
[07:33] <Wettoad> macogw: yeah that is the basic choice, open source happy conscience, or good 3D support with multithreaded GL
[07:33] <piratepenguin> grr
[07:33] <_Casey_> I have a built-in "Chicony USB 2.0 Camera" as it is called, how do i make it work.
[07:33] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok, if i download through the terminal, do i need to take out the sace on the program names?
[07:33] <Stevethepirate> piratepenguin: ahoy :P
[07:34] <piratepenguin> lol steve
[07:34] <Jeah> piratepenguin: Well, this might not be super helpful, but there will be an update from Edgy to Hardy since they're both the LTS releases, right?
[07:34] <macogw> Wettoad: well i dont need multithreaded GL.  if it has good enough 3D and GL to handle Compiz and Frets on Fire, it's good enough for me
[07:34] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: can you give an example? there should be a dash between the parts of a name if that is what you mean
[07:34] <Stevethepirate> Jeah: but that will be in like...
[07:34] <Stevethepirate> how long?
[07:34] <MasterShrek> Jeah: dapper to hardy, edgy wasnt lts afaik
[07:34] <Jeah> Should be in April.
[07:34] <Stevethepirate> Jeah: sigh..
[07:35] <Jeah> Oh, whoops.
[07:35] <Stevethepirate> macogw: whats ur budget?
[07:35] <Jeah> Maybe it was Dapper.
[07:35] <atpa8a> so how do install that grub into the MBR?
[07:35] <MasterShrek> yes hardy is scheduled for april
[07:35] <piratepenguin> Jeah: actually, I'm not too sure about the code names.. or the version nums.. lol.. I want the latest, I HAD the 2nd-latest (installed in June)
[07:35] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: like for the "wireless assistant" program
[07:35] <MasterShrek> !lts
[07:35] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[07:35] <MasterShrek> well he could at least tell the lts versions
[07:35] <MasterShrek> !dapper
[07:35] <ubotu> Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. See !lts for more details.
[07:35] <Stevethepirate> piratepenguin: probably dapper.
[07:35] <MasterShrek> :)
[07:35] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: sudo apt-get install package-name
[07:35] <afabian> compwiz18: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_formatting#Disk_Reinitialization   Apparently, low-level formatting is a concept in the right ball-park.
[07:35] <macogw> Stevethepirate: im not shopping.  i use intel graphics on my laptop, and im getting a radeon 9000 from a friend to replace my mom's dying intel graphics
[07:35] <_Casey_> !webcam
[07:35] <ubotu> Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[07:36] <marvxxx> what i miss for workstations in companys (where i think to use ubuntu) is a easy to use ldap authentication...
[07:36] <Stevethepirate> Which radeon 9000?
[07:36] <josiahw_> what do you do about a frozen application? No close is available when right clicking.... ctrl+alt+del doesnt do anything (obviously)
[07:36] <Stevethepirate> !ldap_is_the_frikken_devil
[07:36] <kraut> moin
[07:36] <piratepenguin> can I not just get synaptic to install all the failed installations (they didn't actually fail I think, one simply did) and upgrade the failed upgrades?
[07:36] <_Casey_> if the webcam is built-in to the laptop how do you get it installed?
[07:36] <Stevethepirate> piratepenguin: rather spam "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[07:36] <schmicck> Low level Format : Hard format done at factory. Defines disk geometry. High level format actualy just "checks" if the LLF is OK.
[07:37] <bazhang> piratepenguin: just try to sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade from the terminal again
[07:37] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok, im downloading the one of the updates through my terminal, do i have to download them one by one??
[07:37] <Wettoad> _Casey_: depending on your kernel it probably already is installed, that is if the webcam is supported
[07:37] <Wettoad> _Casey_: jsut google for it
[07:37] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: did you follow the aptfix instructions?
[07:37] <piratepenguin> bazhang: that doesn't go for the new installs, apparently. it's got nothing
[07:37] <atpa8a> just installed ubuntu-server and it always boots me into grub shell
[07:37] <_Casey_> its a chicony usb 2.0, i havnt found anything
[07:38] <_Casey_> ive been searching for weeks
[07:38] <atpa8a> when i try to run grub-install it says: The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
[07:38] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: i must have been in another tab, let me scroll up
[07:38] <atpa8a> any clues?
[07:38] <_Casey_> how do i find the device-id of it
[07:38] <piratepenguin> or could I reinstall ubuntu-desktop and ALL its dependencies?
[07:38] <Wettoad> atpa8a: what wwas the root file system?
[07:38] <atpa8a> ext3
[07:38] <Jeah> Anybody else have any ideas why the eject button on my Toshiba DVD ROM wouldn't work with a disc in while the eject button on my CD burner does?  (I think I've done a pretty thorough job ruling out a hardware problem.)
[07:38] <Wettoad> atpa8a: grub doesn't like xfs sometimes
[07:39] <piratepenguin> this is the most evil thing my computer has done to me since Windows FFS!
[07:39] <BloodyScum> I have been running ubuntu for about 3 weeks now, its been running great, with no problems whatsoever, but now, ubuntu comes up for about 3-5 min and the interface and window manager crash, i have to hold the power button down to restart.. i cant figure out whats doing it, i get no error messages, and no warning, its just like everything stops...
[07:39] <_Casey_> ok whats video4linux
[07:39] <_Casey_> its under capablities for my device
[07:40] <schmicck> BloodyScum:  did you check /var/crash ?
[07:40] <bazhang> piratepenguin: no error messages from the terminal? there was a problem with one of the security servers timing out earlier
[07:40] <mikefoo1> Hey guys, im looking to have an ubuntu machine connected to my tv via the vga port, how would I remote into the machine to control the display, to play a movie for instance.
[07:40] <BloodyScum> no
[07:40] <marvxxx> BloodyScum, you can switch into the console?
[07:40] <marvxxx> BloodyScum, or was it a complete freeze?
[07:40] <compwiz18> afabian: thanks for your help! one more question, though: I'm running badblocks right now, and it found a couple. is there a way to tell it not to use those, or should it do it automatically or something?
[07:40] <schmicck> mikefoo1: use LIRC
[07:41] <BloodyScum> i dont know how to switch into console other than open the term program
[07:41] <ere4si> BloodyScum,  I had a similar thing and it was a loose heatsink on the cpu letting things get hot
[07:41] <bthomson> thank you for ubuntu, i feel like i have come home
[07:41] <BloodyScum> no, i checked the heatsync
[07:41] <ere4si> k
[07:41] <piratepenguin> bazhang: hmm there's a 'apt-get -qq update' command running according to ps..
[07:41] <Wettoad> _Casey_: v4l is a common API to use cameras and video devices
[07:41] <piratepenguin> wait its finished
[07:41] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: i did what you had the bot tell me, i tried to do the other commands my terminal tells me but it wont let me
[07:42] <Jeah> Anybody else have any ideas why the eject button on my Toshiba DVD ROM wouldn't work with a disc in while the eject button on my CD burner does?  (I think I've done a pretty thorough job ruling out a hardware problem.)
[07:42] <mikefoo1> schmicck: hmm maybe you read wrong?  thats not going to help me..
[07:42] <mikefoo1> or how is it...?
[07:42] <BloodyScum> how do i switch to the console?
[07:42] <Wettoad> _Casey_: if its a device that supports mpeg you can just run cat /dev/CAMERANAME > test.mpeg
[07:42] <schmicck> _Casey_: type 'dmesg | grep video' see if there is any line mentioning your cam.
[07:42] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: there were two commands--did you do them both? the sudo dpkg --configure -a ?
[07:42] <piratepenguin> bazhang: no errors
[07:43] <MasterShrek> Jeah: your user may not have permissions for the latter, try chmodding the /dev/xxxx device, or adding your user to the cdrom group and logging out and back in
[07:43] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang:  oh, it just said type dpkg
[07:43] <simplyubuntu> hello all
[07:43] <bazhang> piratepenguin: update and then try to upgrade again oh ok--then you are up to date
[07:43] <simplyubuntu> anyone have any suggestions on how to achieve this? http://www.zimmertech.com/images/kubuntu_full.jpg
[07:43] <ere4si> BloodyScum,  ctrl-alt-f2  -  alt-f7 to get back
[07:43] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: oy you really need to learn to scroll up :]
[07:44] <huey> bazhang: Ive finished the install :)
[07:44] <afabian> compwiz18: hm.  interesting.  I hadn't heard of this badblocks program.  Anyway... I was just looking at the man page, and it recommends running it with mke2fs or e2fsck... so, my *guess* is that badblocks doesn't do anything but identify bad blocks, and you need these other utilities to modify the filesystem so that the bad blocks are avoided.
[07:44] <piratepenguin> bazhang: is that right? fuck, thats not so bad then! *gets installing stuff he needs to get again*
[07:44] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: sorry, im like doing 12 things at once
[07:44] <BloodyScum> ere4si thx
[07:44] <stdin> !language | piratepenguin
[07:44] <ubotu> piratepenguin: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[07:44] <ere4si> k
[07:44] <Stevethepirate> NeT_DeMoN: what about 13 things at once?
[07:44] <afabian> compwiz18: I'd try e2fsck -c rather than invoking badblocks directly.
[07:44] <bazhang> piratepenguin: nice, but please watch the language
[07:45] <vb> I am trying to setup a wireless network at my home, between a ubuntu and vista laptops, I am on ubuntu laptop and will create the wireless network, vista laptop will connect to it, I followed this tutorial and followed the manual instructions, but I am only able to achieve a local only wireless network, vista cannot access the internet
[07:45] <compwiz18> afabian: ok
[07:45] <NeT_DeMoN> Stevethepirate: lol
[07:45] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: if you want help, then you need to pay attention :}
[07:45] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok, i closed the other apps
[07:45] <piratepenguin> bazhang: whoops, sorry i let that slip.. well thanks for the help anyhow
[07:45] <bazhang> no worries
[07:45] <king> how do i get a famserver?
[07:46] <Jeah> MasterShrek: There's only one account on the system, and it's in the admin group, obviously.  Could that still be the problem?
[07:46] <BloodyScum> schmicck there is one crash report for wine but i looked at the date in the file, and its 3 days ago, thats the only file in /var/crash
[07:46] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok, when i dod that command you gae me, it just gave me a new command line and didnt say anything
[07:46] <MasterShrek> Jeah: put it in the cdrom group as well
[07:46] <NeT_DeMoN> did^^
[07:46] <simplyubuntu> okay okay.... THIS! http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/compiz3.jpg
[07:46] <Tylerathome> screen is a wonderful program
[07:46] <Wettoad> Jeah:
[07:46] <MasterShrek> Jeah: and theres actually many accounts on the system, you just dont know about them :)
[07:46] <king> how do i get a famserver???
[07:46] <Wettoad> Jeah: look at /proc/sys/dev/cdrom
[07:47] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: both commands?
[07:47] <Wettoad> Jeah: there is a lock file which you can probably echo 0 or 1 to
[07:47] <interceptor> #ubuntu-ru
[07:47] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: scrolling up, that was two commands?
[07:47] <schmicck> BloodyScum: take a look in /var/log/syslog
[07:47] <_Casey_> my cam says "Cannot connect to video device /dev/video0"
[07:47] <_Casey_> do i need to mount it
[07:48] <Wettoad> _Casey_: only file systems are mounted
[07:48] <Wettoad> _Casey_: and a camera is ot a filesystem
[07:48] <_Casey_> well hold on
[07:48] <Wettoad> Jeah: did you see the message above?
[07:48] <huey> can anyone suggest to me a good irc client for linux?
[07:49] <_Casey_> it shows up as a video device for video4linux under Device Manager
[07:49] <Jeah> Wettoad: yeah, sorry, checking out MasterShrek's suggestion real quck
[07:49] <bazhang> konversation
[07:49] <lucian_> huey: irssi
[07:49] <Wettoad> huey: I live xchat
[07:49] <huey> k

[07:49] <_Casey_> wettoad
[07:49] <huey> haha xchat it is :) thanks all
[07:49] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok, i dont understand a thing this says
[07:49] <_Casey_> the cam is built in and supposedly has drivers already installed
[07:49] <king> how do i get a famserver???
[07:49] <_Casey_> is there a way to get the cam on video0
[07:50] <GetMoney[b]> good luck
[07:50] <king> how do i get a famserver???
[07:50] <ere4si> king: what's a famserver?
[07:50] <Wettoad> _Casey_: if the drivers are there then udev should have creted the device for you... which programs like qcam can use
[07:50] <BloodyScum> schmicck says there is no such directory
[07:50] <Jeah> MasterShrek: It doesn't look like root iis even in a cdrom group, from System->Administration->Users and Groups -> Manage Groups.  But my user does have "Use CD-ROM drives" enabled in Properties->User Privileges.
[07:51] <schmicck> BloodyScum: that's a file.. not a directory
[07:51] <kr00l> can anyone help me Copy a DVD using ubuntu?
[07:51] <king> its home server
[07:51] <Jeah> Wettoad: Ok, yeah, I see it's there.  How do I read what it's currently set to?  And how do I change it?
[07:51] <Wettoad> Jeah: root does not have to be explicityly added to groups
[07:51] <BloodyScum> schmicck lol, ok oops
[07:51] <bazhang> k9copy kr00l
[07:51] <Wettoad> Jeah: cat the lock file in a terminal
[07:51] <schmicck> BloodyScum: type 'less /var/log/syslog'
[07:51] <MasterShrek> Jeah: well root can do all, so that shouldnt matter, i would add the user to the group anyway, i dont know exactly if that gnome option to "Use CD-ROM Drives" is going to work for both or not
[07:51] <Jeah> Wettoad: yeah, but I dont' even see a cdrom group anywyere.
[07:51] <ere4si> king: a brand - or format?
[07:51] <Wettoad> and to change the values you echo "1" > lock
[07:51] <Wettoad> or echo "0" > lock
[07:51] <kr00l> bazhang: I have that now but i don't know how to use it. I don't see how to get the dvd selected so i can copy/burn
[07:52] <bazhang> !dvd
[07:52] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[07:52] <Jeah> Wettoad: how do I know which drive that's for?  Or would it apply to all "CD" drives?
[07:52] <Jeah> Wettoad: meaning optical drives, I guess.
[07:52] <Wettoad> Jeah: it may have 2 listings, I only have one drive, so i am not sure of the format for 2
[07:53] <kr00l> Can anyone help me configure k9copy?
[07:53]  * schmicck thinks he's never seen this type of colaboration on a M$ channel.. lol
[07:53] <_Casey_> wettoad
[07:53] <Wettoad> Jeah: so when you "cat" it waht does it say?
[07:53] <lumpy^> hey. i want to backup all my system and do a mirror copy of the whole ubuntu , so in case of crash i will able to make a restore to the good point. i did ghost 4 linux but its screwed my system ... i wonder if i can just do a "tar" of / and then apply it on system crash and it will do the work?
[07:53] <Jeah> Wettoad: "1"
[07:53] <_Casey_> xawtv turns on my cam for like 1 second then turns it off, step in the right direction
[07:53] <Wettoad> _Casey_: yes
[07:53] <tubetopbaby> what are some chat programs for ubuntu?
[07:53] <Wettoad> Jeah: that means it locks
[07:53] <brubelsab1> using debmirror results in: "Failed to download files (51 errors)!" using the rsync protocol and various mirrors, and several reruns?
[07:53] <FluxD> !sfv
[07:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sfv - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:53] <schmicck> _Casey_:  excelent!..
[07:54] <Wettoad> Jeah: as root: echo "0" > /proc/sys/dev/cdrom
[07:54] <tubetopbaby> i hate chatzilla@@!!!
[07:54] <_Casey_> but thats all it does
[07:54] <Jeah> Wettoad: /lock, right?
[07:54] <rjohn> Thunderbird looks like it is fading into oblivion
[07:54] <rjohn> sad
[07:54] <Wettoad> _Casey_: xawtv is really meant for TV devices and not web cams
[07:54] <rjohn> I like it
[07:54] <lumpy^> help?:)
[07:55] <lucian_> lumpy^: remastersys is a third-party app that back's up your current install to a live cd with the option to re-install at a later point.. but its not guarenteed to work.. im actually backing up mine with it right now
[07:55] <tubetopbaby> I saw that too
[07:55] <_Casey_> i tried camorama and it does nothing
[07:55] <Wettoad> _Casey_: whatever gnomemeeting is now called should work, its like netmeeting for gnome, but got renamed

[07:55] <BloodyScum> whats that mean in syslog?
[07:55] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: you still here?
[07:56] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: yeah
[07:56] <lumpy^> umm
[07:56] <rjohn> lumpy^: try dd.  Or something like partimage or mondo archive
[07:56] <lumpy^> there is somthing that work?
[07:56] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: try this:
[07:56] <Jeah> Wettoad: "bash: lock: Permission denied" even when I sudo'd it.  Huh?
[07:56] <rjohn> they do some nice compression
[07:56] <riaal> Isn't there some easy way to restrict a user to just one folder? Like there home?
[07:56] <lumpy^> i want to copy the image to DVD

[07:56] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: just trying to figure out this jiberish :P
[07:56] <Wettoad> Jeah: su to root
[07:56] <afabian> lumpy^: It's a little more complicated than that.  Well, depending on how you look at it.  I always have trouble with it.  So, tar is the right kind of tool for doing such a thing... but, you have to be careful to use the right switches, like preserving ownership (-p).    See, this is where it gets tricky.  I lost track around the udev days.  I'm not sure what you should do about /dev.  You would want to e
[07:56] <afabian> xclude /proc.  And then, you need to save your partition table, and make sure you have a way to restore the boot sector.  tar can back up the data, but... there are just more steps and a lot of gotchas.  :/
[07:56] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: i did
[07:56] <Wettoad> BloodyScum: something tried to write past the end of you scsi disk d
[07:57] <tubetopbaby> anyone know how to get a login on a windows/mac box into my ubuntu over the internet using ssh... a new session with the gnome login, gdm and everything....the vnc stuff, I cant get to work...it has me add a file in xinetd.d/ called vnc....then it has me go to change a file called initd.d/xinetd....but no such puppy!!!
[07:57] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: sudo etc etc, then sudo etc etc
[07:57] <Wettoad> Jeah: then do it
[07:57] <_Casey_> i dont see it
[07:57] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ahhh, ok
[07:57] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: did them both?
[07:57] <Wettoad> Jeah: echo "0" > /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/lock
[07:57] <cerealkiller> why is it i cant run office 2003 using wine, it runs but it prompts that it is not installed for the current user
[07:57] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: still with me?
[07:58] <rjohn> tubetopbaby: do you want to log from windows to linux?
[07:58] <lumpy^> what program do a image copy of my hd directly to DVD ?
[07:58] <bazhang> lumpy^: what size hdd?
[07:58] <Jeah> Wettoad: Uh, I can't su?  "su: Authentication failure"?  Can one not su in Ubuntu?  and why wouldn't sudo work?
[07:58] <schmicck> BloodyScum: there is something wrong with your scsi drive.. might be a bad partition geometry...
[07:58] <Wettoad> lumpy^: you can dd it, if you're using xfs you can xfs dump a disk image
[07:58] <_Casey_> ekiga?
[07:58] <Wettoad> Jeah: sorry i use debian
[07:58] <tubetopbaby> yeah..my ubuntu box is in the closet on the other side of the house.... LOL.....I am having to stand infront of it...my feet hurt ;(
[07:58] <Wettoad> Jeah: try sudo
[07:58] <rjohn> Wettoad: you can't sudo?
[07:59] <Wettoad> Jeah: i don't like sudo
[07:59] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: yeah
[07:59] <Wettoad> rjohn: sorry that was for you, I don't like sudo
[07:59] <rjohn> you can get arond the ubuntu non root situation with sudo passwd for root
[07:59] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: my computer wont let me copy now
[07:59] <NeT_DeMoN> wtf
[07:59] <king> how do u ues root?
[07:59] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: you did both those commands?
[07:59] <lucian_> king: by using sudo
[07:59] <WorkingOnWis1> afabian: I'm a little late to this party, but is there a way to make a dd image and break it up at say 4.6gb pieces and burn it to dvd's? Would dd preserve permissions and such, and partition tables and boot sectors?
[07:59] <|Dylan|> Jeah: by default there is no root password set, so su fails.  i dont know why your sudo would not work but to set a root password (NOT recommended) use `sudo passwd root` or to access su on an individual basis use `sudo su -` to get to a root prompt
[07:59] <MasterShrek> !sudo | king
[07:59] <ubotu> king: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:59] <NeT_DeMoN> im about to just throw this piece of shit out the window
[07:59] <NeT_DeMoN> excuse my language please
[08:00] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: yeah
[08:00] <MasterShrek> NeT_DeMoN: do you have permissions to the destination?
[08:00] <king> no
[08:00] <Wettoad> Jeah: any luck?
[08:00] <Jeah> Wettoad: "sudo echo "0" > /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/lock" and I got "bash: /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/lock: Permission denied" again...
[08:00] <BloodyScum> i had a little trouble out of the partition manager when installing to begin with..   is there any way to fix my partitions? i have a windows partition, a filesystem partition, and a swap partition..
[08:00] <NeT_DeMoN> MasterShrek: yes, im admin
[08:00] <tubetopbaby> rjohn:  yes...my ubuntu box is on the other side of the house in a closet...I have to stand in front of it now....ouch my feet hurt :)
[08:00] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: now try installing stuff using either the command line or synaptic
[08:00] <Jeah> Wettoad: I have no idea how/why it would deny a sudo command...
[08:00] <Wettoad> Jeah: hemm... that is the problem i suspect
[08:00] <MasterShrek> NeT_DeMoN: is it on a different mounted medium, that is mounted read-only?
[08:00] <rjohn> Jeah: I agree wtih |Dylan| that root not recommended, but if you are learning, I think it's good and argulably recommended.
[08:00] <rjohn> But it can develop bad habits.
[08:00] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: ok
[08:01] <staykovmarin> hi, i am trying to upgrade using the Gutsy cd. First everything went smoothly, it detected my cd when i put it in as a source to update from. then it just crashed, posting an error. now when i put in the cd it wont do anything
[08:01] <|Dylan|> Morning all.  I have a question regarding disk partitioning.  I have the following partitions: primary NTFS, 2xExtended NTFS, linux-swap, primary ext3, linux-swap (which i just made) and about 40GB on which I'm trying to create a primary ext3 to install Kubuntu (currently running Ubuntu on the first ext3).  Both Kubuntu's installer and GParted report that there are already 4 primary partitions - they both say I can't create more than
[08:01] <rjohn> etc/sudoers will tell you who has sudo rights. It's a pretty readabl efile
[08:01] <Jeah> |Dylan|: Thanks.
[08:01] <Jeah> rjohn: I can sudo everything else...
[08:01] <|Dylan|> Jeah: no problem, hope it helps
[08:01] <Jeah> rjohn, this is my only user...
[08:01] <rjohn> |Dylan|: you can't, for historical reasons. You need to crate Exteneded partition
[08:02] <afabian> WorkingOnWis1: Hm.  well, if you have the space to put the file somewhere, you can use "split" on it.  And... dd has the switches so that you *could* do just what you're saying, if you figure out the magic numbers.
[08:02] <schmicck> BloodyScum: I fixed a bad partition on a windows box with partition magic... you might want to try that.
[08:02] <Wettoad> Jeah: sudo "echo \"0\" > lock"
[08:02] <tubetopbaby> rjohn: i found this...but it doesnt work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC
[08:02] <king> i dont know how 2 get in  2 root and  whats the pass for  root?
[08:02] <rjohn> tubetopbaby: what did you find that didn't work,
[08:02] <lumpy^> do i need to install on debian PARTIMAGE or i just need to download the rescue cd and do the image?
[08:02] <|Dylan|> rjohn: i know theres a hard limit of 4, its just frustrating because i dont actually have 4 primaries, i have 2 and 2 extended
[08:02] <tubetopbaby> this part doesnt work: Step 2
[08:02] <lucian_> king: root is disabled by default
[08:02] <tubetopbaby> Create the following file /etc/xinetd.d/vnc
[08:02] <schmicck> king: root is disabled by default.. enable it with 'sudo passwd root'
[08:02] <tubetopbaby> $> sudo pico /etc/xinetd.d/vnc
[08:02] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: dude thanks, it works!!!!!! :D
[08:02] <tubetopbaby> service vnc
[08:02] <Jeah> Wettoad: "sudo: echo "0" > lock: command not found"
[08:02] <tubetopbaby> {
[08:02] <tubetopbaby>         disable = no
[08:02] <tubetopbaby>         socket_type = stream
[08:02] <WorkingOnWis1> afabian: what are the magic numbers?
[08:02] <tubetopbaby>         protocol = tcp
[08:02] <tubetopbaby>         wait = no
[08:03] <tubetopbaby>         user = nobody
[08:03] <lucian_> king: sudo -i -u root
[08:03] <tubetopbaby>         server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
[08:03] <rjohn> |Dylan|: sorry, I missed that. hmmmm, dunno
[08:03] <tubetopbaby>         server_args = -inetd :1 -query localhost -broadcast -once -fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/ -securitytypes=none -desktop=vnc://MyDesktop/
[08:03] <afabian> WorkingOnWis1: dd isn't a very "smart" utility.  It doesn't know anything about your filesystems, or boot sectors.  It preserves them, and ... if you're not "careful", it'll also faithfully save the empty space on your disk.  It'd probably be easier to dig up some utility designed to do what you want to do, though I don't know what they would be.
[08:03] <tubetopbaby> }
[08:03] <tubetopbaby>     *
[08:03] <tubetopbaby> we don't have xinetd.d setup in init.d
[08:03] <_Casey_> hey i got my webcam working on ekiga
[08:03] <ere4si> |Dylan|, you only need one swap - kubuntu will use the one for ubuntu - you can't boot both at once :)
[08:03] <staykovmarin> so no ideas?
[08:03] <bazhang> NeT_DeMoN: remember to install stuff mostly from the repos in the future and you should be fine :} enjoy!
[08:03] <schmicck> Well done _Casey_
[08:03] <NeT_DeMoN> bazhang: thanks man, everything will download now, hell yeah :)
[08:04] <rjohn> Anyone using wpa supplicant successfully.  does it now support wpa1
[08:04] <_Casey_> but i want my webcam to work with the stickam.com services as well
[08:04] <rjohn> wpa2 I meant
[08:04] <lumpy^> anyone used partimage?
[08:04] <_Casey_> none of my friends use ekiga
[08:04] <bazhang> rjohn: if your card supports it yes
[08:04] <rjohn> lumpy^: YES, PARTIMAGE IS GOOD
[08:04] <Wettoad> Jeah: this works for me
[08:04] <|Dylan|> ere4si: if ubuntu crashes for some reason, or kubuntu for that matter, there will be junk left over and ill have to reboot to that before i can reboot to the other, or at least thats my understanding
[08:04] <rjohn> bazhang: THANKS
[08:04] <Wettoad> Jeah: sudo echo "1" > lock
[08:04] <evan_> how can I get a readout of basic display settings (resolution, refresh rate, bit depth, etc.) via terminal?
[08:04] <WorkingOnWis1> afabian: i think I like dd for that very reason..it will do exactly what I ask, and not try to outsmart me  :)
[08:04] <|Dylan|> ere4si: also, that wont solve the problem :-/
[08:05] <felipec> does the latest ubuntu have glibc 2.4?
[08:05] <Wettoad> Jeah: sorry that was a lie
[08:05] <bazhang> !info glibc
[08:05] <ubotu> Package glibc does not exist in gutsy
[08:05] <Jeah> Wettoad: haha
[08:05] <bazhang> !find glibc
[08:05] <rjohn> felipec: do you mean 7.10
[08:05] <ubotu> Found: libg++<IP_ADDRESS>-glibc2.2, libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2, glibc-doc, libc6, libc6-pic
[08:05] <afabian> WorkingOnWis1: Well, tar is a venerable unix utility.  it's designed to do these sorts of backups.  But, yeah, it *is* a little tricky.  I always liked BSD's dump.  There's an ext3 dump....
[08:05] <Wettoad> Jeah: sudo with some editor and edit the file, change the 1 to a zero and save it
[08:06] <felipec> !info libc6
[08:06] <ubotu> libc6: GNU C Library: Shared libraries. In component main, is required. Version 2.6.1-1ubuntu10 (gutsy), package size 4085 kB, installed size 10120 kB
[08:06] <afabian> It's just a *tad* more intelligent than dd, but less so than tar -- it preserves your ext3 filesystem exactly, working below the file level and directly at the filesystem level.
[08:06] <Wettoad> Jeah: the problem with sudo is the redirect stdout to a file doesn't work and I am not familar with the workings of sudo well enough to know what to do
[08:06] <rjohn> emacs or vi....................just kidding :)
[08:06] <tubetopbaby> rjohn: this part of the guide doesnt work for 7.10 Step 2: Create the following file /etc/xinetd.d/vnc and Step 4 Stop and restart Xinetd $> sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd restart since we dont have Xinetd setup in initd.d
[08:06] <Jeah> Wettoad: I can't see any contents to the file in an editor.
[08:06] <Wettoad> Jeah: don't worry about that
[08:06] <cerealkiller> why is it i cant run office 2003 using wine, it runs but it prompts that it is not installed for the current user
[08:07] <Wettoad> Jeah: type 0 then save it and ext
[08:07] <Wettoad> the cat it
[08:07] <_Casey_> what would be a way to get my webcam working with the stickam.com services, which use flash, it detects my cam but doesnt show it
[08:07] <tubetopbaby> rjohn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC  here is the guide
[08:07] <afabian> WorkingOnWis1: After that, your partition table and MBR are in the first 512 bytes of the disk.  So, if you're using a filesystem that supports it, a "dump" utility is really better than a dd.  But, dd ... yeah, it DOES work, if you have jobs of space.  But all of the empty space on your disk looks just like good data to dd, and that can be a lot of overhead for a not very full partition.
[08:08] <_Casey_> !webcam
[08:08] <ubotu> Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[08:08] <afabian> jobs?  gobs.
[08:08] <Koff> Excuse me, when i tried to install a .rpm package it told me to read the "readme.debian" anyone know where i can find it?
[08:08] <Jeah> "Could not save the file /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/lock. Unexpected error: Invalid parameters"
[08:08] <NeT_DeMoN> why is my processor much slower with linux?
[08:08] <Jeah> Wettoad: "Could not save the file /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/lock. Unexpected error: Invalid parameters"
[08:09] <Jeah> Wettoad: is it actually a text file or just a bit or something?
[08:09] <Wettoad> Jeah: swell, this is a joke "you should use a real os like debian, not some cheap imitation"
[08:09] <|Dylan|> thank you, everyone who helped, and ty ere4si, i didnt realize swap was primary *reboots with tail between legs*
[08:09] <Wettoad> Jeah: the proc filessytem is actually variables in tke running kernel
[08:09] <rjohn> tubetopbaby: I looked at the link.  I have successful VNC form Windows to Linux. I'm afraid I can't help
[08:09] <Wettoad> Jeah: you are actually modifiying a driver
[08:09] <Jeah> Wettoad: Haha.
[08:10] <Wettoad> OK I am out
[08:10] <Jeah> Wettoad: If stuff like this stumps me so bad, I don't even want to try something more advanced :)
[08:10] <Wettoad> Jeah: you need to find a way to get  a0 in that file
[08:10] <rjohn> Wettoad: Debian's politicis make the UN look simple :)  Solid for sure.  But so slow to get out
[08:10] <Jeah> Wettoad: Ok, well thanks for all the help.  If I do manage to change it, will it probably only change the behavior for hte session or will it persist?
[08:10] <Wettoad> Jeah: i would recommend setting up the root user, it may not be the ubuntu way but it is the unix way, then su to root and echo a 0
[08:10] <tubetopbaby> rjohn: how does yours work, which vncserver did you use?
[08:10] <rjohn> Murdock is very irritated at the whole Debian direction
[08:10] <Wettoad> Jeah: it will last unitl reboot
[08:11] <riaal> Isn't there some easy way to restrict a user to just one folder? Like there /home?
[08:11] <Jeah> Wettoad: Is there something I can change that will persist?  Somewhere that that lock variable is being generated?
[08:11] <rjohn> tubetopbaby: the native server with Kubuntu 6.06. vncd I think
[08:11] <Wettoad> rjohn: yeah i know it has its problems, thats why i precluded that with this is a joke as not to incite flame
[08:11] <Jeah> Wettoad: sorry, short answer is fine.  I appreciate the help and don't want to hold you up.
[08:11] <Wettoad> Jeah: you can make an /etc/init.d/ startup script that echos a 0 there
[08:11] <staykovmarin> hi, i am trying to upgrade using the Gutsy cd. First everything went smoothly, it detected my cd when i put it in as a source to update from. then it just crashed, posting an error. now when i put in the cd it wont do anything
[08:11] <tubetopbaby> rjohn: does it do sessions or do you have to be logged out?
[08:11] <rjohn> Wettoad: ya, but the real question is...emacs or vi....:)  just kidding
[08:12] <MasterShrek> riaal: well they wouldnt be able to do anything then, the binarys (commands) that they can run are in /bin and /usr/bin and stuff
[08:12] <Jeah> Wettoad: Ok, well thanks.  have a good night or day or whatever it is wherever you are.
[08:12] <GFree> I'm getting massive tearing in flash plugin 9.0.115, horrible compared to windows, any know what to do?
[08:12] <Wettoad> night
[08:12] <MasterShrek> riaal: they dont have write access to anything outside their home directory, unless they have sudo or your explicitly change permissions
[08:12] <NeT_DeMoN> isnt the hardware channel ##hardware??
[08:12] <GFree> tears massively regardless of compiz is on or not
[08:12] <rjohn> tubetopbaby: I have to be logged in on the remote box. As such, ihave moved to X forwarding via ssh -X
[08:12] <rjohn> I don't always want remote control, often just run one app in window
[08:12] <riaal> MasterShrek: I know, but they still can poke around
[08:12] <NeT_DeMoN> ##hardware   ????^^
[08:13] <king> iam un a ubuntu 7.10 need 2 get in to root   and need 2 do it with out sudo
[08:13] <rjohn> tubetopbaby: my VNC client is real vnc
[08:13] <kr00l> can anyone help me with k9copy?
[08:14] <ere4si> king: sudo -s root
[08:14] <rjohn> Anyone ever had success with cygwin and Cyg/X.  I want to run Gvim in my cygwin
[08:14] <bazhang> http://linuxappfinder.com/blog/ripping_dvds_to_mpeg4_with_k9copy kr00l
[08:14] <rjohn> Sorry, that is off topic
[08:14] <king> ya how 2 get in it
[08:14] <NeT_DeMoN> is there a way to change .php files to .jpg files??
[08:14] <staykovmarin> hi, i am trying to upgrade using the Gutsy cd. First everything went smoothly, it detected my cd when i put it in as a source to update from. then it just crashed, posting an error. now when i put in the cd it wont do anything
[08:15] <ere4si> king: you don't know the passwords?
[08:15] <Stevethepirate> NeT_DeMoN: thats illogical...
[08:15] <rjohn> What's best way to get skype running without dependency hell? apt package from skype.
[08:15] <king> not  for root  or how 2 get in
[08:15] <rjohn> staykovmarin: is upgrade absolutely essential
[08:15] <ere4si> rjohn: that's in medibuntu isn't it?
[08:16] <rjohn> Can you save off dpkg list, home directory, etc. and reinstall\
[08:16] <afabian> NeT_DeMoN: .jpg is a graphics format.  .php is usually filled with text.  So, you could open the php file in a text editor, take a screenshot, and then... well, I don't think this is what you mean to ask. ;)
[08:16] <rjohn> ere4si: hmmm, I'll check. Is that a distro?
[08:16] <Stevethepirate> well. normally the .jpg part is stored outside of .php
[08:16] <staykovmarin> rjohn: no. but i would really like to update it, since i want to use xmms2 with last.fm scrobbler. why?
[08:16] <Belisarivs> hi all
[08:16] <king> its ubuntu
[08:16] <ere4si> !medibuntu
[08:16] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[08:16] <Stevethepirate> and its normally linked.
[08:16] <Schmick> king: type 'sudo passwd root' then type YOUR password... then follow instructions on setting a root password.
[08:16] <Belisarivs> May I ask you to help me?
[08:16] <NeT_DeMoN> afabian: i have a photo that is .php if thats what you mean
[08:17] <bazhang> ask away Belisarivs
[08:17] <rjohn> thanks to the bot.  yes, that's the type of stuff the linux Mint has included. Linux mint is pretty nice, although a little on the ehtical OSS edge
[08:17] <king> so i got 2 log out? 2 do it?
[08:17] <rjohn> Ends justfiy means maybe?  I've got a few freinds turned onto Linux Mint
[08:18] <Belisarivs> OK. Y have problem with libgnomebreakpad.so. What is it? Gnome apps ask for it but apt-file cannot find it
[08:18] <Schmick> NeT_DeMoN: php is a scripting extension... unless you saved a jpeg with a php extension..
[08:18] <rjohn> Anyone read LInux User and Developer. I really like it. But not monthly like LFX
[08:18] <NeT_DeMoN> Schmick: i right clicked and saved the photo from a site
[08:19] <rjohn> Any opinions on quad-console for KDE.  Looks very useful for my work.  Can it support more than 4 consoles?
[08:19] <ere4si> rjohn: you can enable a medibuntu repository and have those apps as you need them
[08:19] <_Casey_> heh i found my webcam problem
[08:19] <rjohn> ere4si: ya, I think I will stick it in sources.list
[08:19] <ere4si> k
[08:19] <staykovmarin> is there just a way to reset the update process?
[08:19] <staykovmarin> so its NOT partia:
[08:19] <staykovmarin> partial*
Isn't it from kde-look?
[08:19] <_Casey_> macromedia flash player 9 only supports video4linux v1 and not v2 i think
[08:19] <havoc_> I'm trying to install WOW and I'm having problems  any advice?
[08:19] <staykovmarin> and have it start over
[08:19] <rjohn> I'll feel a little guilty.  Hey, consistency is hobgoblin of small minds.
[08:19] <_Casey_> havoc
[08:19] <_Casey_> use wine ;x
[08:20] <NeT_DeMoN> Belisarivs: no, im not allowed to give you the site here

[08:20] <Stevethepirate> sa,e thing..
[08:20] <Stevethepirate> #wine redirects
[08:20] <rjohn> havoc_: We use wine at work, with CrossX support contrac .35 bucks a year. Well worth it.
[08:21] <staykovmarin> ANY ideas?
[08:21] <rjohn> havoc_: I might have Cross X worng.  I think it is cross over office.  They support it. Like Canonical for Ubuntu
[08:21] <rjohn> staykovmarin: about what, sorry I missed the thread
[08:21] <king> ok i got it butit ask for paas  and  did not work

[08:22] <staykovmarin> it seems to be stuck at partial update
[08:22] <Belisarivs> I have problem with libgnomebreakpad.so. What is it? Gnome apps ask for it but apt-file cannot find it
[08:22] <rjohn> staykovmarin: ya

[08:22] <staykovmarin> in*
[08:23] <rjohn> hmmm
[08:23] <staykovmarin> is there a way to just roll it back with whatever i did install before it crashed
[08:23] <rjohn> are you sure you burned it correctly
[08:23] <Belisarivs> Any clue?
[08:23] <rjohn> like not just an iso image.... as I have done so many times
[08:23] <rjohn> staykovmarin: also,help me out, is gutsy 7.10
[08:23] <staykovmarin> rjohn: yes it boots from it okay
[08:23] <rjohn> staykovmarin: ok
[08:24] <havoc_> can any one run me through it
[08:24] <rjohn> sometimes CD are funny.  I just had a 7.04 that looked ok, then weird errors.
[08:24] <riaal> how do I kicka user in ubuntu?
[08:24] <riaal> kick a user *
[08:24] <rjohn> riaal: kick a user off?
