[00:00] <ThipThip> Has anyone been able to use Reason with wine?
[00:00] <acidfire2008> wont work
[00:00] <LiraNuna> simonss, just restart your computer
[00:00] <RyanPrior> What's the status of "Ubuntu Tweak" ? Is it an OK configuration tool, or does it do Bad Things like Automatix?
[00:00] <acidfire2008> jsut lags there
[00:00] <astro76> unagi: it's basically <modifier key>, <mouse button>, <desired keystroke>
[00:00] <ThipThip> I can't seem to install Reason - it tells me to insert the DVD, but doesn't recognize when I do.
[00:00] <acidfire2008> but it works using putty
[00:00] <john_> ryan it works fine
[00:00] <acidfire2008> on other machine grr
[00:00] <astro76> unagi: there's a mapping of button names to button numbers at the top, you can use either
[00:00] <k1ng> when i "purge" from gnome i can use gui synaptic? and lib* can stay or i need to purge also? (int. nvidia, dell d800, gusty)
[00:00] <neverblue> !enter | acidfire2008
[00:00] <exneo> hey ive just installed xubuntu desktophow do I use t
[00:00] <ubotu> acidfire2008: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[00:00] <RyanPrior> john_: I don't doubt it works. But does it break things?
[00:00] <simonss> LiraNuna: so this is not really important as long as i restart when shifting from gnome to KDE4
[00:00] <simonss> ?
[00:01] <Negromancer> Ah, the wonderful world of linux support.
[00:01] <LiraNuna> simonss, it's for people who don't want to restart X
[00:01] <unagi> maybe im toos tupid to get this astro76
[00:01] <neverblue> acidfire2008, with so many posts in the channel, its beneficial for you to post the users nick, at the beginning of your reply, so someone knows who you are talking to
[00:01] <john_> im on a guinnipig hd now and so far it,s solid
[00:01] <LiraNuna> simonss, you don't really care, so just restart
[00:01] <branden> i have no sound what so ever.
[00:01] <JerseyMonkey> Question: Where would I be able to obtain themes for Gutsy Gibbon?
[00:01] <simonss> ok. thanks
[00:01] <astro76> unagi: so you would need a line like: None, Button6, <keystroke for left desktop>
[00:01] <exneo> so how do I boot up in xfce I use fiesty
[00:01] <acidfire2008> ok it told me unable to route to host
[00:01] <unagi> what is the thing in quotes above the modifier mouse button desired
[00:01] <arthur37854>  /msg ubotu !etiquette
[00:01] <astro76> unagi: and another None, button7, <keystroke for right desk>
[00:02] <Arv3n> Hello! I'm trying to run the Cell Minimal Install CD on my PS3, but it's not loading when I start the PS3. Any ideas?
[00:02] <astro76> unagi: but maybe it's something beside button6 and 7 ;)
[00:02] <neverblue> acidfire2008, please read my two previous posts, before replying anymore
[00:02] <exneo> so how do I boot up in xfce in ubuntu after insallation with gnome
[00:02] <neverblue> acidfire2008, can you ping the host ?
[00:02] <Blaenk> exneo, log out log in
[00:02] <neverblue> acidfire2008, ping IP
[00:02] <exneo> tried it
[00:03] <Abyssal> hi
[00:03] <LiraNuna> exneo, log out, select the KDE season
[00:03] <john_> hi aby
[00:03] <unagi> and then what
[00:03] <unagi> restart?
[00:03] <acidfire2008> ok its working asking me to accept a key
[00:03] <exneo> I use other gdm theme
[00:03] <unagi> astro76:
[00:03] <Negromancer> I have a couple keys that don't do anything, is there any way to capture the input off them and map it to something?
[00:03] <acidfire2008> i accepted and it is jsut asking for a pass
[00:03] <astro76> unagi: oh yeah the other wrinkle is the line before each section, specifies a mask for which programs it applies to, all programs would be ".*"
[00:03] <acidfire2008> not login
[00:03] <exneo> k ill try it
[00:03] <neverblue> !enter > acidfire2008
[00:03] <astro76> unagi: logging out and in should be sufficient, if not restart X
[00:04] <unagi> brb
[00:04] <Abyssal> which program do you use to enter the internet? ( i use the terminal but a graphical programm would be more nice)
[00:04] <Arv3n> Is there a PS3 Ubuntu channel?
[00:04] <Arv3n> abyssal.. firefox. o.o
[00:04] <Arv3n> How can you ask that?
[00:04] <Blaenk> !ps3
[00:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ps3 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:04] <Blaenk> guess not
[00:04] <Dr_willis> There may be a PS3 forum on the ubuntu forums
[00:04] <RyanPrior> Abyssal: You can use IE via Wine, Firefox, Epiphany, or others.

[00:05] <acidfire2008> neverblue: it asks for a password not a login
[00:05] <Arv3n> astro76, can you help?
[00:05] <darkblue_B> where would I look to find out how to make the live CD boot the GUI on my HP hardware??  I use the line   boot:live noapic
[00:05] <gunja99> hi all, can ubuntu be installed via live cd through summit like deamon tools? or does it have to boot to the ubuntu live cd?
[00:05] <Arv3n> astro76, that isn't helping.
[00:05] <RyanPrior> marcelo_: Yes, it is working.
[00:05] <unagi> yea astro76 it didnt work
[00:05] <spdf> marcelo_, its really working.
[00:05] <Negromancer> I have a couple keys that don't do anything, is there any way to capture the input off them and map it to something?
[00:05] <neverblue> acidfire2008, its using your username on your system
[00:05] <Abyssal> Arv3n: i do not mean browser. i mean a programme instead of the command "sudo pon dsl-provider" to access the internet.
[00:06] <astro76> unagi: it usually takes a little experimentation
[00:06] <neverblue> acidfire2008, press enter, it will prompt for a username, then a password
[00:06] <acidfire2008> Permission denied, please try again.
[00:06] <syntaxerror55> can I attempt to install a gutsy .deb on Dapper?
[00:06] <acidfire2008> it dont ask for login

[00:06] <McJester> does anyone know where to download really good themes for ubuntu powerpc
[00:06] <acidfire2008> omfg
[00:06] <RyanPrior> Abyssal: You could make a .desktop that runs the command that you want to connect to the internet.
[00:07] <neverblue> acidfire2008, thats the last time I am posting that into to you
[00:07] <astro76> unagi: i would google for some example imwheelrc
[00:07] <marcelo_> RyanPrior: so there is something wrong... after unstall some programans i could find some configurations files into home file
[00:07] <unagi> there are tons of examples already in there astro76
[00:07] <Javid> syntaxerror55, you can try
[00:07] <Abyssal> RyanPrior: how?
[00:07] <RyanPrior> Abyssal: alternately, you could add a session that will connect to the internet upon login.
[00:07] <unagi> None, Button6, Control_L|Alt_L|Left
[00:07] <unagi> None, Button7, Control_L|Alt_L|Right
[00:07] <neverblue> acidfire2008, ssh user@host
[00:07] <syntaxerror55> Javid, and what's the worse that can happen? The package not working?
[00:07] <unagi> whats wrong with that?
[00:07] <astro76> unagi: as I said maybe it's not button6 and 7
[00:07] <Javid> syntaxerror55, I have no idea, but probably
[00:07] <spdf> acidfire2008, ssh defaults to the current user name
[00:07] <unagi> but i know for a fact it is
[00:07] <acidfire2008> thats why then
[00:07] <floppyears> hi guys
[00:07] <acidfire2008> how can i change username?
[00:07] <RyanPrior> marcelo_: Those aren't part of the package, presumably. You can delete them if the package is gone.
[00:08] <unagi> but i know for a fact it is astro76
[00:08] <floppyears> where can I get a sql plus client to connect to an oracle db from ubuntu ?
[00:08] <micahcowan> Is SCIM known to work improperly on Gutsy?
[00:08] <astro76> unagi: do you have a line ".*" above those two lines?
[00:08] <neverblue> acidfire2008, i cannot be of any further assistance to you, good luck
[00:08] <dusty-sts> LiraNuna, Thankyou very much, its working perfectly now.  Is it possible to have different backgrounds per monitor?
[00:08] <RyanPrior> Abyssal: Which method do you prefer? A double-clickable icon, or auto-startup on login?
[00:08] <micahcowan> (sethk, if so, that could definitely be my problem...)
[00:08] <unagi> yes astro76
[00:08] <Abyssal> RyanPrior: that .desktop sounds nice. is it a icon to doubleclick then? how can i make that?
[00:08] <acidfire2008> spdf: how u change the username then?
[00:08] <spdf> acidfire2008, user@host (for example<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[00:08] <marcelo_> RyanPrior, i thought apt did that kind of thing...
[00:08] <acidfire2008> ohhhh
[00:08] <acidfire2008> my bad man
[00:08] <Abyssal> no auto thing! icon is fine.
[00:08] <RyanPrior> Abyssal: On your desktop, right click and select "Create Launcher...:
[00:09] <Arv3n> Can anyone help with my PS3 + Ubuntu?
[00:09] <darkblue_B> the live CD isnt starting X/Gui on my hardware.. I have tred boot:live noapic  and it doesnt crash, but no graphis.. ends in a command line.. what else to read??
[00:09] <sethk> micahcowan, I don't really know much about SCIM.
[00:09] <RyanPrior> Abyssal: Then set that launcher's icon and give it the command that you use to connect to the Internet.
[00:09] <astro76> unagi: I know I've struggled with it many times over many years ;) I've finally gotten it to work easily lately
[00:09] <RyanPrior> marcelo_: Apt tracks package files, not config files that are built by the package while it's running.
[00:09] <Arv3n> OMG.
[00:09] <micahcowan> sethk, I'm not generally using it when I experience the problem... but it's on/active, and it does deal with funky keyboard input stuff... :)
[00:09] <Arv3n> this sucks.
[00:09] <RyanPrior> marcelo_: For example, if you uninstalled OpenOffice, Apt would not delete your .odf files
[00:09] <LiraNuna> dusty-sts, no it's not possible
[00:09] <unagi> but you cant get it to work for me =( astro76
[00:09] <LiraNuna> dusty-sts, atleast not that I know of
[00:09] <astro76> unagi: you might have things mapped around in xorg.conf, and also through xmodmap, it can get complicated
[00:09] <Negromancer> I have a couple keys that don't do anything, is there any way to capture the input off them and map it to something?
[00:10] <micahcowan> ubuntuguide.org said that SCIM may not be working properly on Gutsy, though it worked fine in Feisty
[00:10] <unagi> i dont have anything mapped for buton 6 or 7
[00:10] <dusty-sts> LiraNuna, ok, thankyou VERY much.
[00:10] <Abyssal> RyanPrior: ok. i guess it is command in terminal?
[00:10] <LiraNuna> dusty-sts, np
[00:10] <Abyssal> sudo pon dsl-provider?
[00:10] <RyanPrior> Abyssal: Only if it needs to be run in the terminal to function.
[00:10] <RyanPrior> Abyssal: If it can be run in the background, it doesn't have to be command interminal.
[00:11] <RyanPrior> Abyssal: use gksudo
[00:11] <Abyssal> RyanPrior:  ok. and when i want to disconnect? do i have to create a extra button?
[00:11] <sethk> Negromancer, the "xev" utility (x event) will tell you the keycode
[00:11] <sethk> Negromancer, the "xev" utility (x event) will tell you the keycodes
[00:11] <Abyssal> gksudo?
[00:11] <astro76> unagi: how about for Left and Right, because that's what the Firefox entry is by default, which is 6 and 7
[00:11] <dusty-sts> oh one more think is it possible to take a screen shot of the whole desktop?
[00:11] <sethk> Negromancer, with the codes, you can use xmodmap to assign them to something
[00:11] <dusty-sts> as in both screens?
[00:11] <RyanPrior> Abyssal: gksudo is the "graphical" sudo, removing the reliance on the terminal window.
[00:11] <Arv3n> Can ANYONE help me with my PS3 and Ubuntu?
[00:12] <unagi> and firefox responds to it astro76
[00:12] <neverblue> !patience > Arv3n
[00:12] <Negromancer> thanks, sethk
[00:12] <RyanPrior> Abyssal: You could make a shell script that initiates an internet connection or terminates it if it's already there, thus creating a "toggle" button.
[00:12] <astro76> unagi: firefox does back and forward with the wheel tilt?
[00:12] <sethk> RyanPrior, more accurately, gksudo is a graphical sudo _adding_ the reliance on the X server
[00:12] <Arv3n> -.-
[00:12] <unagi> yes
[00:12] <marcelo_> RyanPrior, so... what should --purge spouse do ?
[00:12] <neverblue> Arv3n, short answer no, as you havent asked a direct question
[00:12] <sethk> RyanPrior, consoles are always available, and thus there is nothing to remove
[00:12] <Abyssal> RyanPrior:  how to make such a shell script?
[00:12] <Arv3n> neverblue, it won't boot my minimal cell install cd.
[00:13] <RyanPrior> marcelo_: Remove the package-configuration files that would otherwise be left on your computer, allowing a quick reinstall.
[00:13] <Arv3n> neverblue, and I HAVE asked it.
[00:13] <unagi> which means its mapped to alt left and alt right but when i change metacity to switch workspace with alt left and right it doesnt respond astro76
[00:13] <spdf> unagi, load up imwheel -c, click "Grab Wheel Action" and try the left/right
[00:13] <neverblue> Arv3n, read the post I sent to you in pm
[00:13] <RyanPrior> Abyssal: You can ask more about shell scripts in #bash
[00:13] <MarcoPau> any tool to monitor the bandwidth used by each client in the lan?
[00:13] <unagi> spdf:  i already know its button 6 and 7
[00:13] <astro76> unagi: oh that's the problem, we're trying to map the same buttons, actually the last two sections are causing you problems, the one starting with ".*" and the one starting with "(null)" which map Left and Right
[00:13] <acidfire2008> anyone know a good ftp gui program for fxping etc on ftp?
[00:13] <unagi> astro76: what?
[00:13] <Dr_willis> fxping?
[00:13] <RyanPrior> sethk: You missed my point by not listening to the whole conversation. :-)
[00:13] <Dr_willis> !ftp
[00:13] <ubotu> FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd
[00:14] <grekkos> acidfire2008: ftp
[00:14] <neverblue> remote transfer to remote box Dr_willis
[00:14] <grekkos> acidfire2008: oh i didn't see you said gui
[00:14] <Abyssal> RyanPrior:  thank you. can you help me with that gk sudo again. did not get that. how to install this one?
[00:14] <astro76> unagi: the last 6 lines in your /etc/X11/imwheelrc assuming you didn't change it
[00:14] <Dr_willis> neverblue,  never seen that. :) never neeed to i guess..
[00:14] <marcelo_> RyanPrior, hum... ok, thanks
[00:14] <spdf> unagi, this is what I've got for my thumb buttons http://pastebin.com/m4b00d26c
[00:14] <unagi> #,   Thumb2, End
[00:14] <unagi> # vim:ts=4:shiftwidth=4:syntax=sh
[00:14] <RyanPrior> Abyssal: gksudo is installed by default, and you can (and should) replace "sudo" with "gksudo" any time you want a graphical sudo rather than a terminal one.
[00:15] <RyanPrior> marcelo_: No problem. Good luck cleaning up the extra cruft.
[00:15] <Abyssal> ok. i understand.
[00:15] <Abyssal> RyanPrior:  thank you once again.
[00:15] <astro76> unagi: oh ok
[00:15] <RyanPrior> Abyssal: No problem. Pop back in if you have more question related to adding to Ubuntu menus and so on.
[00:15] <Dr_willis> unagi,  those are comments/settings for vi at the end. :)

[00:17] <Dr_willis> astro76,  heh heh.
[00:17] <timandtom> pike_: Can't. And even then, my computer would still attempt to connect to that network, until it eventually gives up(which it never seems to)
[00:17] <Flare183> loodjuret: ubotu is a bot

[00:19] <loodjuret> RyanPrior: looking for a guide
[00:19] <Flare183> syntaxerror55: yeap
[00:19] <astro76> unagi: I think you need a modifier key to use with the mouse tilt for either firefox or switching desktops, otherwise you won't be able to switch desktops while in firefox
[00:19] <Flare183> syntaxerror55: it's awesome i have dslinux (ubuntu) on my ds
[00:19] <RyanPrior> loodjuret: Have you searched UbuntuForums.com?
[00:19] <unagi> i can live with alt + tilt
[00:19] <unagi> how do i do that
[00:19] <astro76> unagi: for desktop switching?
[00:19] <matttis> !de
[00:19] <unagi> yes
[00:19] <syntaxerror55> Flare183, why? I'd think dealing with incompatibility issues should be limited to your computer ;D
[00:20] <ubotu> Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de
[00:20] <Flare183> syntaxerror55: not really; having a os on a gaming system is awesome. I like it because I can surf the internet, etc. all from my DS
[00:21] <McKayCR> I'm using Pidgin, and I want to know how to highlight text with certain words
[00:21] <Dr_willis> I browse with my Wii :)
[00:21] <RyanPrior> Flare183: Often you can use the native OS from within the Linux OS, so there are no compatibility issues and you can still use the games.
[00:21] <LiraNuna> McJerry, there's a plugin for this
[00:21] <spdf> I play games with my Wii.. Its all kinds of good times.. Beats that web surfin'..
[00:21] <unagi> yes astro76
[00:21] <Flare183> RyanPrior: yeah your right
[00:21] <greentea> Is there a way i can restart all ubuntu settings and change it to defualt settings???
[00:21] <astro76> unagi: ok add this to the end of imwheelrc http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51956/
[00:21] <unagi> ok
[00:21] <LiraNuna> greentea, you DONT want to do that
[00:22] <greentea> A new start for ubutnu setting
[00:22] <RyanPrior> greentea: Back up your important data and reinstall.
[00:22] <LiraNuna> but if you do want to take the risk...
[00:22] <unagi> all of that astro76?
[00:22] <Flare183> all i have to is put the dslinux cart. into the gba slot and viola i have dslinux
[00:22] <LiraNuna> greentea, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a
[00:22] <astro76> unagi: yeah that's what I use, plus your new section at the end
[00:22] <LiraNuna> greentea, don't blame me if anything brakes
[00:22] <greentea> LiraNuna what that does
[00:22] <McKayCR> Liranuna, which pluggin, I browsed through all of them
[00:22] <LiraNuna> greentea, sets everything to default
[00:22] <timandtom> My computer automatically connects to my neighbors wireless network. How do I make it stop that? Kind of the equivalent of removing a preferred wireless network in Windows, except I'm on Ubuntu 7.10
[00:22] <LiraNuna> McJerry, highlight plugin
[00:22] <spdf> greentea, When you say Ubuntu settings, might you just mean Gnome?
[00:22] <RyanPrior> greentea: Honestly, it breaks your system. The chances of it not screwing anything up are pretty slim. Reinstall is a better option, as long as you can back up the data you want to keep.
[00:23] <Gamma-X> hey anyone ever install touchware drivers in ubuntu?
[00:23] <unagi> brb
[00:23] <astro76> unagi: after that restart x
[00:23] <syntaxerror55> Flare183, I still think it's kind of silly to install Linux on hardware other then computers at the moment -- especially gaming consoles, because you can't do the entended purpose AFAIK, play games.
[00:23] <RyanPrior> !anyone | Gamma-X
[00:23] <ubotu> Gamma-X: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[00:23] <tshilp> hi, i've got 3 questions: 1.) where can i set that i get "delete" in the mousemenu 2.) where do i add -noapic to boot with the noapic setting 3.)
[00:23] <LiraNuna> haha, nice one
[00:23] <Flare183> syntaxerror55: nah, not when you can play the game and surf the web at the same time
[00:23] <McKayCR> liranuna, I don't have that one, can I download it?
[00:23] <tshilp> ah the third one is solved ;)
[00:23] <Starnestommy> For some reason, xfdesktop keeps segfaulting
[00:23] <LiraNuna> McJerry, google
[00:23] <kurt> hello
[00:23] <RyanPrior> McKayCR: I suggest googling it.
[00:24] <Gamma-X> lol I am lookin to buy a touch screen monitor, the one I can get for 85 bucks is a dell e153fpt that uses 3m touchware drivers. lookin to see if anyone has had any issues. I here its a payne to setup
[00:24] <greentea> Is there a way i can restart all gnomw settings and change it to defualt settings???
[00:24] <Flare183> syntaxerror55: this comes in handy esp. when you need a walk through for a game
[00:24] <Jack_Sparrow> tshilp: boot/grub/menu.lst  for the noapic
[00:24] <LiraNuna> tshilp, system -> pref -> main menu -> find "Files options"
[00:24] <unagi> i dont know why it works astro76 and i dont care
[00:24] <greentea> gnome
[00:24] <unagi> thank you
[00:24] <unagi> want to tackle my next problem astro76?
[00:24] <astro76> unagi: nice, no problem
[00:24] <LiraNuna> open it and set "Add delete option"
[00:24] <Flare183> !hcl > Gamma-X (hopes this helps)
[00:24] <spdf> greentea, rm -fr ~/.gnome*
[00:24] <syntaxerror55> Flare183, you mean with dslinux you can play any game? It's basically linux with a DS emulator?
[00:24] <kurt> i need help on an atheros card if anyone can help me i'd appreciate it
[00:24] <RyanPrior> Gamma-X: 3m hardware doesn't have great support usually.
[00:24] <LiraNuna> synacktion, uh
[00:24] <spdf> greentea, logging in should recreate all of the default settings
[00:25] <greentea> spdf in terminal?
[00:25] <LiraNuna> dslinux is uclinux
[00:25] <Flare183> syntaxerror55: yeah sorta like i can play a  ds game in one windows and in the other i can surf the web
[00:25] <LiraNuna> it's AN ACTUAL LINUX DISTRO
[00:25] <spdf> greentea, Yeh
[00:25] <unagi> im trying to find a way to view video files frame by frame forward and back
[00:25] <greentea> spdf  with the  * too
[00:25] <kurt> me?
[00:25] <LiraNuna> Flare183, wtf? no you can't
[00:25] <k1ng> anybody? bueller? bueller? hehe
[00:25] <syntaxerror55> !caps | LiraNuna
[00:25] <ubotu> LiraNuna: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[00:25] <spdf> greentea, deletes ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2
[00:25] <Flare183> LiraNuna: oh yeah your can
[00:25] <RyanPrior> !wtf | LiraNuna
[00:25] <ubotu> LiraNuna: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[00:25] <LiraNuna> Flare183, oh really
[00:25] <Flare183> LiraNuna: yeap
[00:25] <LiraNuna> Flare183, I happen to be a DS developer
[00:25] <kurt> anyone help on atheros cards?
[00:25] <syntaxerror55> LiraNuna, dude, calm down. I really don't know what dslinux is, I heard about people putting Linux on gaming consoles and it baffled me as to why
[00:26] <spdf> greentea, might need to get ~/.gconf as well
[00:26] <Flare183> LiraNuna: i'm serious i can like
[00:26] <Gamma-X> RyanPrior well the drivers come from 3m in an rpm, for each individual kernel u think it should work?
[00:26] <LiraNuna> using dslinux to "one screen to play" and another screen to use dslinux
[00:26] <LiraNuna> is impossible
[00:26] <LiraNuna> dslinux is based on uclinux
[00:26] <greentea> spdf  so rm -fr ~/.gnome* first then deletes ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2 then get ~/.gconf
[00:26] <RyanPrior> Gamma-X: If you can buy the monitor with a 30-day money back guarantee (in a lot of states, you can), then go for it.
[00:26] <Gamma-X> i helped create dslinux a few years back...wierd
[00:26] <Flare183> LiraNuna: dude i'm a former hacker, i found ways and i can do it. In fact i can probaly do more
[00:26] <Gamma-X> i had the idea for it with 2 other guys lol
[00:26] <iN00DLE> so is DSlinux off=topic?
[00:27] <Flare183> iN00DLE: yeah it is
[00:27] <Flare183> !offtopic
[00:27] <LiraNuna> Flare183, lets take it to PM
[00:27] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[00:27] <FYI> What are some reasons it may be advantageous to use i386 on a box with a 64 bit processor?
[00:27] <tshilp> LiraNuna, i can just change the menu entries there
[00:27] <j3d> hello every body
[00:27] <Flare183> nah better
[00:27] <syntaxerror55> LiraNuna, no, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:27] <LiraNuna> tshilp, yes, find "File options"
[00:27] <syntaxerror55> I want to see where this is going
[00:27] <DerangedDelusion> FYI - Adobe Flash Non-Free working out of the box?
[00:27] <spdf> greentea, Should be alright with ~/gnome*, but gconf holds a lot of application settings as well
[00:27] <kurt> can anyone help with an atheros card that i cant use to connect?
[00:28] <astro76> unagi: try mplayer, I know it offers a lot of advanced controls, though you will have to look up the keys ;)
[00:28] <RyanPrior> !atheros | kurt
[00:28] <ubotu> kurt: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[00:28] <timandtom> How do I stop my the wireless in my computer from automatically connecting to my neighbors network instead of MY network?
[00:28] <darkblue_B> the live CD isnt starting X/Gui on my hardware.. I have tred boot:live noapic  and it doesnt crash, but no graphis.. ends in a command line.. what else to read??
[00:28] <unagi> gmplayer wont step back
[00:28] <unagi> gmplayer wont step back astro76
[00:28] <RyanPrior> timandtom: Hmm, I read how to do this the other day. Lemme look it up.
[00:28] <tshilp> LiraNuna, and than?
[00:28] <astro76> unagi: maybe regular mplayer will work, dunno
[00:28] <KenSentMe> timandtom, open gconf-editor in terminal
[00:29] <unagi> mplayer and gmplayer is the same thing is it not?
[00:29] <kurt> i need help on an atheros card if anyone can help me i'd appreciate it
[00:29] <LiraNuna> tsairox, go to system -> preferences -> file options
[00:29] <LiraNuna> there's an option to bypass "send to trash"
[00:29] <LiraNuna> it'll add "delete" to file options
[00:29] <astro76> unagi: gmplayer is the gnome front end, so yeah basically
[00:29] <timandtom> RyanPrior: Ok, thanks :D Much appreciated
[00:29] <KenSentMe> timandtom, and go to system-networking-wireless and your neighbours key. Then delete all te values for that key
[00:29] <unagi> so then neither of them step back astro76
[00:29] <kurt> i need help on an atheros card if anyone can help me i'd appreciate it
[00:30] <Jack_Sparrow> DerangedDelusion: Not working out of the box.. see topic
[00:30] <kurt> is there a room special for wirelss?
[00:30] <timandtom> KenSentMe: Ok :D So now it should stop doing that?
[00:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !wifi
[00:30] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[00:30] <greentea> spdf  so rm -fr ~/.gnome* nothing happen do i log off and log back in?
[00:30] <chandoo> hi
[00:30] <spdf> greentea, Yes
[00:30] <KenSentMe> timandtom, yeah, the key is deleted if it is empty
[00:30] <chandoo> how to make ubuntu dual boot
[00:31] <astro76> !dualboot | chandoo
[00:31] <ubotu> chandoo: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[00:31] <RyanPrior> timandtom: Two ideas: one, use the tool called nm_unset (http://www.kaarsemaker.net/software/nm_unset/) or use a command like gconftool-2 –recursive-unset /system/networking/wireless/networks/$ssid
[00:31] <spdf> greentea, Now that the files are gone, when you log in gnome will recreate what it needs as if it was your first login..
[00:31] <timandtom> KenSentMe: AWESOME, thanks. Thats been bugging me for a while, and I've tried quite a few times in here to get it fixed :D
[00:31] <chandoo> right now installation is going on , but i dont see vista , like in fedora
[00:31] <julz> my taskbars and menu's have disappeared, i only see my desktop and files, can amyone help?
[00:32] <timandtom> RyanPrior: Ah, thanks :D KenSentMe helped me through it though. gconf-editor in terminal, then find the wireless stuff and delete the keys :)
[00:32] <kurt> i need help on an atheros card if anyone can help me i'd appreciate it. please PM me
[00:32] <KenSentMe> kurt, did you check the wireless documentation?
[00:32] <kurt> yes doesn't help me
[00:33] <RyanPrior> timandtom: That's basically what the second command I gave does, and what the tool I linked to automates. Feel free to do it by hand with gconf-editor, though. :-)
[00:33] <IndyGunFreak> then you're not following it properly
[00:33] <greentea> spdf it worked
[00:33] <spdf> greentea, Good stuff
[00:33] <spdf> greentea, I figured thats what you meant by Ubuntu
[00:33] <spdf> greentea, What went wrong before?
[00:33] <greentea> spdf there is one more thing that i need to default the sound settings and sound driver setings
[00:33] <RyanPrior> julz: Have you tried restarting X?
[00:34] <kurt> KenSentMe, do you know alot about atheros cards that you could help me/
[00:34] <spdf> greentea, System -> Preferences -> Sound... Check in there
[00:34] <greentea> spdf installed something and can't change it back
[00:34] <timandtom> RyanPrior: Ah, cool, thanks :D But, yeh, it was easy enough to do with that command, it's just a matter of I didn't know the command before(I've only been on linux for, i dunno, 2 months?
[00:34] <greentea> spdf i try all sound driver. Not a single sounds coming out from the speaker
[00:34] <RyanPrior> timandtom: You'll get good at this stuff. Keep on asking questions. :-)
[00:34] <KenSentMe> kurt, no, sorry
[00:34] <julz> RyanPrior: i'v tried new sessions but to no avail. I'm not sure how to use the recovery console :S
[00:34] <DerangedDelusion> Hmm...for some reason, all of a sudden, my FireFox32 installation (on x86_64 Gutsy) keeps getting it's connections to just about every webpage reset...
[00:35] <RyanPrior> julz: Indeed, the recovery console is no good unless you know how to troubleshoot or have a plan in mind.
[00:35] <spdf> greentea, Check your volume settings (right click the speaker and select Open Volume Control), make sure Master and PCM are turned up
[00:35] <greentea> spdf usually it works but not its like its mute or no sound.
[00:35] <timandtom> RyanPrior: Haha :) Will do.
[00:36] <Jack_Sparrow> DerangedDelusion: Did you install flash.. and if so how did you do it..
[00:36] <RyanPrior> julz: You could try renaming ~/.gnome to ~/.gnome-buggy and try logging in again. Gnome will create new config files and maybe clean up the mess.
[00:36] <DerangedDelusion> Jack_Sparrow using the 3 in 1 pack that I found on the Ubuntu website - it installed FireFox32, Flash 9, and Java 6, all at once
[00:36] <kurt> KenSentMe, could you help me?
[00:37] <Grammaticus> ّ!help | could someone assist me with a dual boot installation?
[00:37] <greentea> spdf i did no luck
[00:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !flashissues
[00:37] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[00:37] <ljudkort> I'm looking at running a server for thin clients, about 120 thin clients (devided into two servers), how much RAM do you think I need?
[00:37] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: There are lots of tutorials in Google and the forums. Do you need help with some specific step?
[00:37] <ljudkort> 60 clients per server
[00:37] <spdf> greentea, try 'cat /proc/asound/cards' from the terminal
[00:37] <julz> RyanPrior: will that result in a loss of any files? or just the system ones being replaced? could you tell me where to find the file to rename?
[00:37] <unagi> im trying to find a way to view video files frame by frame forward and back anyone know how?
[00:37] <zapato> has anyone been able to get the compiz cube running with an ATI 200M?
[00:37] <greentea> spdf when i use live cd its no problem and when i reinstalled ubuntu no problem bt then
[00:37] <KenSentMe> kurt, just tell this channel in what way it doesnt work and what you've tried to fix it, maybe someone has a solution
[00:37] <greentea> spdf ok wait
[00:37] <indystorm> haha so thats why I couldn't install flash earlier
[00:37] <Murdoc650> anyone know a good program for Ubuntu to play DVD's on?
[00:37] <indystorm> damn thing
[00:37] <Grammaticus> RyanPrior, No, I suppose not. I am simply preparing to mount this partition manually.
[00:38] <Grammaticus> RyanPrior, I will search the forums.
[00:38] <Jack_Sparrow> zapato: You might have better luck asking in #Compiz
[00:38] <IndyGunFreak> indystorm: what side of town are you on?
[00:38] <RyanPrior> julz: Only gnome's config files will be affected, not your own documents and so on -- and if that breaks things worse or doesn't help, you can just rename it back. The exact filename is ~/.gnome
[00:38] <greentea> spdf ok i see 0 for intel and the other 1 riptide
[00:38] <LeChacal> how do i mount partitions that i can see as
[00:38] <user01> is there a good place to go to find out more about irc?  like if im looking for a channel to learn about spanish?
[00:38] <indystorm> so hey I am using the im client with kubunto and when I logon to aim it does not populate my buddy list- any ideas?
[00:38] <zapato> jack_sparrow: ah, didnt think of that. thanks
[00:38] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[00:38] <spdf> greentea, So, you have two sound devices on that computer?
[00:39] <pike_> LeChacal: as what?
[00:39] <Eyemean> hi if i deleted a folder with shift + del, is there anyway to recover it?
[00:39] <DerangedDelusion> Jack_Sparrow - According to that site, the bug no longer exists ;) - but I'm guessing that if it's fixed, I should be able to install flash on my firefox32 now?
[00:39] <pike_> Eyemean: check ~/.Trash
[00:39] <DerangedDelusion> Jack_Sparrow: Err, on my Firefox64?
[00:39] <Eyemean> nope i deleted from there aswell
[00:39] <matttis> why can't I use my the university proxy for surfing in the web ?
[00:39] <Murdoc650> every time I play a DVD in Ubuntu it has alot of noise and is impossible to watch
[00:39] <Murdoc650> anyone know a good program to use that might fix this?
[00:39] <kurt> i need help on an atheros card if anyone can help me i'd appreciate it. please PM me
[00:39] <adub> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51957/    <---- having major perl problems
[00:39] <RyanPrior> Eyemean: Very difficult to get it back, then. ext3 is not nice to orphaned files.
[00:39] <Jack_Sparrow> DerangedDelusion: Per the topic of this channel.. it is still broken
[00:39] <greentea> spdf ya because one has every low sound which need a speaker with volume adjustment and the other one that don't need volume adjustment
[00:40] <Eyemean> it was actually on an ntfs parition
[00:40] <Eyemean> ryanprior
[00:40] <DerangedDelusion> Jack_Sparrow: Per that thread, edited today, the bug has now been solved, and the new packages have been built.
[00:40] <LeChacal> how how do i mount partitions that i can see as \dev\sdc2 ect ubuntu auto mounted \dev\sdc1 but i need sdc2 et 3 they were created under Geentoo but i dont know what filesystem they are
[00:40] <greentea> spdf one of them are inbuilted to the motherboard
[00:40] <greentea> spdf the intel .
[00:40] <RyanPrior> Eyemean: In that case, you might want to mount that partition with Windows and use a file recovery program. Might be able to locate it.
[00:40] <pike_> LeChacal: what file system? ntfs? fat32? ext3?
[00:41] <RyanPrior> Eyemean: Might be NTFS recovery programs available for Linux too, but I doubt they are as good or as many.
[00:41] <matttis> why can't I use my the university proxy for surfing in the web ? I'll get a timeout for every url.
[00:41] <pike_> LeChacal: oh try this sudo mkdir /media/sdc2;sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdc2 /media/sdc2
[00:41] <Eyemean> yeah this is wat im trying to do, but problem is that windows not strting right so wanted to just restore the parition with recovery program, but it is corrupted
[00:41] <Eyemean> lol
[00:41] <pike_> LeChacal: though -t auto is same as specifying nothing i think
[00:41] <greentea> spdf is there a command to let it redetect the sound drive and that can play sound. Like when i reinstalled Ubuntu or when i put live cd
[00:41] <FYI> Anyone have a good screen capturing program for linux?
[00:41] <Eyemean> will try another recovery program, cheers
[00:41] <LeChacal> pike_ ill try that and report back thank you
[00:41] <julz> RyanPrior: where is ~/.gnome? sorry but i'm still new to this all
[00:41] <pike_> FYI: ive heard good things of istanbul
[00:42] <ruthbuzzard> FYI: prnt scr
[00:42] <pike_> !screencast | FYI

[00:42] <spdf> greentea, Both have been detected, try going back to System -> Preferences -> Sound, and setting Default Mixer Tracks device to the one you want, you'll likely have to restart gnome

[00:43] <RyanPrior> julz: That's where it is. ~/.gnome is a literal file descriptor.
[00:43] <LeChacal> pike_ it says you must specify the filesystem type, which was i was trying to get around
[00:43] <KenSentMe> kurt, dont repeat, please explain what is going wrong and what tried to fix it
[00:43] <LiraNuna> oops
[00:43] <RyanPrior> julz: ~/.gnome is the absolutely location of your gnome conf folder
[00:43]  * nickrud peeks in
[00:43] <pike_> LeChacal: look at it in fdisk maybe
[00:43] <acidfire2008> anyone know how to change the port in pure-ftpd under gutsy?

[00:46] <RyanPrior> julz: Correct. Rename it, then log out and back in, and Gnome should create a new config folder for you.
[00:46] <adub> i dont know what the heck happened but im about to give up on important windows apps to linux thats for sure
[00:46] <Grammaticus> To present a rather 'newbie-esque' question : I'm attempting to mount a drive manually, a 10GB free partition.  You can't just choose how to mount it.'
[00:47] <nickrud> Flare183: last time it was wine ...
[00:47] <adub> nickrud messing it up badly, lol
[00:47] <kurt> KenSentMe, i tried installing ndiswrapper and it only comes up invalid driver
[00:47] <pike_> Grammaticus: that'd be cool though
[00:48] <Flare183> Grammaticus: but normally it is vfat
[00:48] <Grammaticus> RyanPrior, or 'use it as' rather. Considering it's 'free' -- could I not choose whether or not it is FAT32 (If I wanted to share files between Windows, etc.)?
[00:48] <Grammaticus> vfar -- I do not see this on the 'use as' option.
[00:48] <Grammaticus> *vfat
[00:48] <pike_> Grammaticus: if you want everyone to have access you might as a simple example  sudo mount -o umask=000 /dev/sdc1 /media/usb
[00:48] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: You mean, it's unformatted and you want to choose a format for it?
[00:48] <kjs> cant get this ubuntu laptop to turn the screen off in power saving mode.
[00:48] <kjs> any ideas
[00:48] <kjs> I made the changes in the gui
[00:48] <adub> nickrud are you busy?
[00:49] <Grammaticus> RyanPripr : Precisely.
[00:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Grammaticus: what does sudo fdisk -l  show as the format of the partition
[00:49] <nickrud> adub: forcing the removal of wine is one thing, perl ...
[00:49] <kjs> Jack_Sparrow: hows it going
[00:49] <pike_> Grammaticus: are youi at the installer choosing partitions?
[00:49] <DerangedDelusion> Jack_Sparrow: I have a feeling it might not just be FireFox, though - during an apt-get just now, I kept getting "Connection Reset by Peer," (every 3 or 4 seconds) and I remember getting something similar occuring earlier during an FTP transaction, but it went away after a bit x.x
[00:49] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: Ah, that's called "formatting", not "mounting". Mounting is what you do once it's already formatted and ready to be used.
[00:49] <Flare183> nickrud: try sudo apt-get --purge remove wine
[00:49] <adub> nickrud forcing the removal of perl would wax my system
[00:49] <Grammaticus> pike_: I am.
[00:49] <pike_> Grammaticus: use as might be the prompt for / or /home or whatever
[00:49] <matttis> Proxy not work ! Always timout ! What I can do ?
[00:49] <Flare183> nickrud: then delete you .wine folder in your home folder
[00:49] <KenSentMe> kurt, i dont have a solution, but this kind of information will get you more help in this channel than just saying you need help.
[00:49] <nickrud> Flare183: no we did that last time, it took editing the postrm _and_ force-remove-reinstreq
[00:49] <kurt> thank you
[00:50] <Jack_Sparrow> DerangedDelusion: I was leaving.. not sure what all you have done using scripts from the forums...  Hopefully someone will have an answer.
[00:50] <Flare183> nickrud: ohh..... oh boy
[00:50] <nickrud> Flare183: same symptoms though
[00:50] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: ext3 is the preferred file system format for most Linux systems, but if you're going to use this partition for Windows integration, you might want to choose FAT32 or NTFS.
[00:50] <Flare183> nickrud: i see....
[00:50] <Flare183> nickrud: ummm....
[00:50] <Grammaticus> RyanPrior : No, I do not wish to do that -- therefore, ext3 it is.
[00:51] <Grammaticus> Which was the default and the presumed type.
[00:51] <nickrud> Flare183: but that's not gonna work with perl I don't think
[00:51] <pike_> Grammaticus: if there is a default it is ext3
[00:51] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: It's the default because it's good for most purposes and a sane choice for most newbies.
[00:51] <pike_> Grammaticus: windows cant read ext3 without special driver though
[00:52] <Flare183> nickrud: no it won't
[00:52] <Grammaticus> And what should the 'mount point' be?
[00:52] <RyanPrior> pike_: Speaking of which, for all the talk Microsoft does about Linux integration, they could at least bake ext3 support into NT. =D
[00:53] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: Do you want it to be your root partition? If not, just pick any folder where it would be useful.
[00:53] <nickrud> adub: the only thing I know for sure is if I start messing deeply with perl there'll need to be a subsitute in place, probably a compiled version in local.
[00:53] <julz> RyanPrior: Im back and it didnt seem to work. there's a new ~/.gnome folder but still no taskbars
[00:53] <ThipThip> Here's a seemingly simple question that I can't seem to find an answer to:  How do I determine where windows open?  At present, each window opens with its task bar above the main panel (thus requiring me to right-click and "move" it before being able to click and drag it)
[00:53] <nano__> Hey all
[00:53] <Grammaticus> RyanPrior, Yes, I wish for it to be the root partition.
[00:53] <nickrud> adub: and it's probably simpler and faster to reinstall.
[00:53] <adub> lol
[00:54] <adub> im trying to install from source
[00:54] <RyanPrior> julz: In that case, we've eliminated the probability that it's Gnome conf files causing the problem.
[00:54] <adub> reinstalling from source
[00:54] <adub> reinstalling from dpkg did not wokr
[00:54] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: In that case, the mount point should be / (a single forward slash with nothing before or after it)
[00:54] <Dr_willis> "windows has detected a ext3 filesystem - would you like to convert it to NTFS?" (Yes / Yes)
[00:54] <adub> nickrud so far so good no errors
[00:54] <Dr_willis> :)
[00:54]  * adub crosses fingers
[00:55] <nickrud> Dr_willis: the chutzpah
[00:55] <adub> nickrud i needed to kinda redo my entire system anyway
[00:55] <adub> i just have a crap pile of stuff on it to redo
[00:55] <jason_123> hi i need some help
[00:56] <julz> RyanPrior: hmm, any ideas what else could do it? i have an external hdd that ubuntusays isn't removable but it was disconnected, could this be a cause?
[00:56] <jason_123> when i play dvix movies online the play has like little lines in it
[00:56] <jason_123> how can i get the lines out
[00:56] <nickrud> adub: seriously, there's probably a lot of subtle problems that won't show up right away. I don't like saying reinstall but in your case it's wisest
[00:56] <RyanPrior> julz: Shouldn't be.
[00:56] <Starnestommy> For some reason. xfce's desktop keeps crashing
[00:56] <RyanPrior> jason_123: You could try using VLC.
[00:57] <nickrud> adub: and one piece of advice. Don't change stuff in outside /home and /usr/local without being absolutely sure about what you are doing
[00:57] <DerangedDelusion> Hi, I am having a problem - it seems that my internet connection is dropping every few seconds (Connection reset by peer during APT-Get, and Connection was reset... in FireFox) - it was suggested that this may be due to Flash, though I doubt it.  Any help with figuring out the reason behind this would be much appreciated (Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy x86_64)
[00:57] <RyanPrior> jason_123: Or you could try using a low-latency kernel, but the stock kernel shouldn't be causing a lot of lines.
[00:57] <kurt> i can't get my atheros marvell card to work.  ndiswrapper tells me that the driver is invalid
[00:57] <adub> nickrud good advice
[00:57] <RyanPrior> DerangedDelusion: Make sure you file a bug in Launchpad. That's a nasty one.
[00:57] <adub> ill have to continue using my system as is until i can afford an enclusure and get a hard drive
[00:58] <jason_123> i guess i live with it
[00:58] <jason_123> ty
[00:58] <DerangedDelusion> RyanPrior - No problem...though I find it weird that my IRC connection isn't dropping, though that might be cause it's not a static connection.
[00:58] <RyanPrior> DerangedDelusion: Have you eliminated the possibility of a router problem?
[00:59] <Gekkomon_Shogun> i have a question before instaling linux for the first time
[00:59] <Grammaticus> RyanPrior, How much should I allot as 'swap space'? -- 256MB?
[00:59] <dusty-sts> LiraNuna, How do i take a screenshot of both desktops as one?
[00:59] <matttis> Proxy not work ! Always timout ! What I can do ? Should enable referer ?
[00:59] <RyanPrior> Gekkomon_Shogun: You came to the right place. Ask away. :-)
[00:59] <dusty-sts> How do I take a screenshot of a multiple monitor setup?
[00:59] <unagi> : I/O error occured
[00:59] <unagi> Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted.
[00:59] <unagi> ^^^^^^^^^^whats that mean if i can play the video im trying to convert just fine
[00:59] <DerangedDelusion> RyanPrior - Yes - my windows box has no similar symptoms whatsoever
[00:59] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: The conventional wisdom is double the amount of RAM you have, but not more than 4GB.
[01:00] <Gekkomon_Shogun> will i need to mess with GRUB because i really dont know what that is
[01:00] <RyanPrior> DerangedDelusion: Does it happen on a LiveCD?
[01:00] <Sht4r> helo
[01:00] <Sht4r> =)
[01:00] <neeto> I am trying to install emerald, and I've got all the packages installed, but even when I run emerald --replace, there are still no window decorations
[01:00] <DerangedDelusion> RyanPrior - haven't tried a LiveCD yet
[01:00] <RyanPrior> Gekkomon_Shogun: You will probably not have to mess with GRUB. It should be configured for you automatically during installation.
[01:00] <nickrud> Gekkomon_Shogun: no, grub (except in exceptional circumstances) does everything automatically
[01:01] <julz> RyanPrior: what would the taskbar's be called? are they part of nautalis, like the taskbars in windows are part of explorer?
[01:01] <RyanPrior> julz: It's called gnome-panel, I believe.
[01:01] <Gekkomon_Shogun> so vista wont change anything
[01:01] <julz> thanks
[01:01] <grekkos__> does the ssh that comes with ubuntu have X11 forwarding enabled by default?
[01:01] <spdf> julz, perhaps .gnome2?
[01:01] <nickrud> Gekkomon_Shogun: grub found my vista and gave me the option of booting it automatically
[01:02] <DerangedDelusion> RyanPrior - if it helps any or means anything, I recently installed kubuntu-desktop, and I have both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop co-existing - and it was shortly after that that I started to have this problem
[01:02] <RyanPrior> grekkos__: If not, it should be very easy to install.
[01:02] <dusty-sts> LiraNuna, is it possible to use xinerama?
[01:02] <AussieHatter> how do i check the version number of a nic module i have running ?
[01:02] <grekkos__> RyanPrior: is there a package for it on the repositories do you know? If not i could just compile a new one
[01:02] <Grammaticus> RyanPrior, now, will the swap drive be a 'logical' drive?
[01:03] <RyanPrior> DerangedDelusion: Well, I usually like my computer less when KDE stuff and Gnome stuff is all mixed up on it, but I've never had or heard of network problems caused by the mix.
[01:03] <zamfir> trying to enable nvidia drivers in the restricted drivers manager, and i get an error message. Can someone help please?
[01:03] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: I think it has to be, yes.
[01:03] <kaxi> does ubuntu use usplash or splashy in the latest version of ubuntu (7.10 desktop edition)?
[01:03] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: Technically, you create a logical drive and the swap goes inside that logical drive.
[01:04] <RyanPrior> zamfir: Have you tried googling the error message?
[01:04] <RyanPrior> kaxi: It uses usplash
[01:04] <DerangedDelusion> RyanPrior - Oh believe me - if apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop would get rid of everything that it put on, I'd definitely do it - I just wanted to see how kubuntu looked, and didn't think about just getting a livecd
[01:04] <AussieHatter> should i be safe to switch eth1 and eth0 in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net-rules and have the remote person switch the cables ?
[01:05] <LjL> DerangedDelusion: tried apt-get autoremove kubuntu-desktop? (though, *look* at what it's going to remove before hitting Y)
[01:05] <Grammaticus> RyanPrior, Therefore, the ext3 should be a logical and the swap placed therein?
[01:05] <Grammaticus> Or is the swap created as an individual drive?
[01:05] <julz> spdf: do youmean change the name of that to get it replaced as well?
[01:06] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: Nope, the ext3 isn't logical. It can be, but doesn't have to be.
[01:06] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: swap is an individual drive.
[01:06] <DerangedDelusion> LjL - The following packages will be REMOVED: kubuntu-desktop;  That's it
[01:06] <Grammaticus> All right -- therefore, all is prepared well.
[01:06] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: It's like a hard-drive extension to your RAM. Windows calls it "virtual RAM", Linux calls it swap.
[01:07] <LjL> DerangedDelusion: uhm, remove kubuntu-desktop, then try "sudo apt-get autoremove" alone
[01:07] <DerangedDelusion> LjL - 0 to remove.
[01:07] <LjL> weird
[01:07] <Grammaticus> All right, I understand. And as for the 'beginning / end' option -- should I have designated either of the two as 'end'?
[01:07] <Kernel> hello all. i seem to be having a werid problem. when i use frostwire for lets say 15-20 minuets my keyboard stops working.no buttons work. then when i logout it just hangs at a black screen....i have to hold down the power button and hard reset the computer. im using a dell inspiron 5100 laptop. i cant seem to find any info on this.
[01:07] <Grammaticus> ^RyanPrior
[01:07] <LimCore> hello
[01:07] <DerangedDelusion> LjL - But I'm more worried about my network problems than getting rid of KDE anyway x.x
[01:07] <LimCore> What is a good personall callendar/TODO ; with easy sinchronization option (prefferably also synchronizing while a filesystem shared between boxes with ssh/sshfs and/or sftp)?
[01:08] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: I'm not sure about that one. I'd just tend to keep the default.
[01:08] <txoof> what would be a sane way to kick off cron.daily right now?
[01:08] <julz> RyanPrior spdf: got it! i made a launcher to get into terminal, and typed gnome-panel, and its back. if i need this in a startup script, where would i put it?
[01:08] <Grammaticus> All right -- tant mieux.
[01:08] <RyanPrior> LimCore: Evolution has tons of integration features. Tons and tons and tons and tons. =P
[01:08] <spdf> julz, gnome should start it by default
[01:08] <LjL> DerangedDelusion: about the connection, try removing knetworkmanager
[01:09] <nickrud> LimCore: you should consider an imap store for your mail, makes syncing trivial
[01:09] <julz> spdf: yes but that was the problem, it wasnt starting it up
[01:09] <RyanPrior> julz: It's wierd that Gnome isn't starting it by default!
[01:09] <RyanPrior> julz: Check dmesg and see if it's running into trouble on startup.
[01:09] <DerangedDelusion> LjL - Package knetworkmanager is not installed, so not removed.
[01:09] <LjL> DerangedDelusion: and about KDE, don't despair, there are packages you can remove that will likely remove just about everything KDE. also, you can consult /var/log/dpkg.log to see what was installed
[01:09] <LimCore> nickrud: I reafer (for now) ssh/sshfs based solution
[01:09] <LimCore> *prefer
[01:09] <nickrud> LimCore: plus you can experiment with several email clients without having to worry about migrating your mail
[01:10] <LimCore> hmm
[01:10] <vanberge> anybody willing to help me use a dvd writer?  i have it installed and it can play dvd's just fine.  but if i go to write a divd it says "Pleas insert correct format disk, CD-RW or CD-R".  my drive says DVD-RW on it so i know it can burn DVD's.  any ideas?  thanks in advance
[01:10] <julz> Ryanprior: woah! i just closed the terminal and the panel left with it!
[01:10] <RyanPrior> vanberge: What program are you using?
[01:10] <DerangedDelusion> LjL - how about KNetworkConf?
[01:10] <LjL> DerangedDelusion: well then i don't know, but assuming it was caused by something installed by kubuntu-desktop, try removing kdelibs4c2a and kdelibs4 for a start
[01:11] <RyanPrior> julz: That's because gnome-panel was tied to the terminal.
[01:11] <RyanPrior> julz: Try running it in the background
[01:11] <LjL> DerangedDelusion: you may also want to save your current /var/log/dpkg.log to make it easier to later refer to what was installed
[01:11] <Grammaticus> RyanPrior, should I name the machine, 'Mulciber' or 'Iapetus'?
[01:11] <spdf> julz, alt-f2, gnome-terminal
[01:11] <vanberge> RyanPrior, just the nautilus built in
[01:11] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: Totally up to you!
[01:11] <BinaryFu> vanberge: I've had a similar problem in the past from poor grade DVD-Rs, returned them, got a better grade (Not that there are many GREAT grades around) and it worked fine after that.
[01:11] <ablyss> i often get this error when printing pdf or large files... anyone know why http://pastebin.org/15414
[01:11] <Grammaticus> RyanPrior, all right. Iapetus it is.
[01:12] <marshall> is there a command that will run another command after a set amount of time has passed?
[01:12] <ablyss> marshall: sleep
[01:12] <RyanPrior> marshall: sleep number && do-something
[01:12] <julz> spdf: do i click run in terminal?
[01:12] <spdf> julz, no
[01:12] <marshall> ok
[01:12] <marshall> thanks
[01:12] <julz> ok
[01:12] <LjL> marshall: i'm second guessing you here, but you may also want to check out cron and your crontab...
[01:12] <LjL> !cron > marshall    (marshall, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:13] <ThipThip> OK, I don't exactly understand what widgets are... but:  Would it be possible for me to create widgets that I could use instead of desktop icons (thus allowing me to have 4 different sets of icons, one for each side of the desktop cube)?  Or is it otherwise yet possible to have different icons on different sides of the cube?  The forums seem to agree that the answer to the latter is "no."
[01:13] <ablyss> marshall: also cron
[01:13] <unagi> ouwt.flv: I/O error occured
[01:13] <unagi> Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted.
[01:13] <unagi> ..................but i can view the video
[01:13] <vanberge> BinaryFu, but i have memorex.  does it get better??  :-P
[01:13] <Grammaticus> Will the system cease if I remove the Live CD? I believe that I have to clean this damnèd drive.
[01:13] <BinaryFu> OMG jez.
[01:13] <limac> hey an app (any0 is saying it's loading but is failing to execute, why?
[01:13] <AussieHatter> where do i find the version number of a module that is loaded ?
[01:13] <DerangedDelusion> LjL - Wow, that looks like a good way to remove KDE itself (removing kdelibs4c2a
[01:14] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: As far as I know, you should be able to remove the CD, clean the drive, put it back in, and resume.
[01:14] <marshall> thanks guys, but i wanted to run 'xprop|grep WM_CLASS|cut -d\" -f2' after a few seconds so that i would have enough time to open the main menu and use the crosshair to select it
[01:14] <LjL> DerangedDelusion: yes.
[01:14] <BinaryFu> vanberge: Memorex were the ones that screwed me up...damned purple colored things. I generally stick with Verbatims at the minimum. They seem to work for the most part, even if they are blue.
[01:14] <marshall> but it said it couldnt grab the mouse
[01:14] <limac> can i fix that anyhow?
[01:14] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: Just don't do that during system install or partitioning or anything like that!
[01:14] <h1st0> limac: what app is it?
[01:15] <limac> google earth sometimes
[01:15] <tcpdumpgod> w00t @ http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=140514&f_src=drdaily
[01:15] <limac> and sometimes (u know any application basically)
[01:15] <LimCore> RyanPrior: I am in evolution... but I dont see any option to synchronize (except to palmtop)
[01:15] <Grammaticus> RyanPrior, oh no -- it has failed already dye to a filthy disc drive.
[01:15] <JerseyMonkey> Question: I installed a Metacity Theme, but there is no theme for the taskbar or 'Controls' as Appearance Preferance calls it. Where would I find a skin for my taskbar?
[01:15] <julz> spdf RyanPrior: how do i run it in the background. also where in the dmesg output would i see if its falling on startup?
[01:15] <h1st0> limac: perhaps do a memcheck
[01:15] <Grammaticus> *due
[01:15] <greentea> spdf thanks it worked ^_^
[01:15] <limac> how?
[01:15] <spdf> greentea, Your sound?
[01:15] <greentea> spdf ya
[01:15] <spdf> greentea, Glad to hear ;)
[01:15] <RyanPrior> Grammaticus: darn. Time to give it a clean and try again. :-)
[01:15] <greentea> spdf esp pcm-2
[01:16] <greentea> got to turn that up
[01:16] <limac> h1st0: how can i do that?
[01:16] <DerangedDelusion> LjL - I hate to second-guess you, but I was thinking...if I were to grab a packet sniffer, and see what the heck's going on when I try to hit a website...cause it seems really weird that KDE would somehow affect my network connection in GNOME, when GNOME shouldn't be loading any of KDE's libraries, or at least not the networking ones
[01:16] <RyanPrior> julz: Alt+F2 can be used to run in background, or you can put a & symbol after a terminal command to run in background.
[01:16] <spdf> greentea, Happens all the time. Some application changes PCM, while others change Master.
[01:16] <h1st0> limac: reboot and hit esc at the grub menu.  Memtest will be on the of the options on the list.  You can select it with the arrow keys and hit enter
[01:16] <spdf> greentea, Best thing to check first
[01:16] <RyanPrior> julz: And as to the dmesg question, you just gotta scroll through it and see if you find anything interesting.
[01:16] <FYI> So, compiz comes with ubuntu 7.10 by default... is it packaged with a settings manager for it, or do I have to get that myself?
[01:16] <h1st0> !memtest > limac,   limac Read the private message from ubotu.
[01:16] <BinaryFu> BTW, just out of curiosity, has anyone tried out Virtual Box?
[01:16] <h1st0> BinaryFu: yes
[01:16] <limac> h1st0; this time it was actually chatzilla
[01:16] <h1st0> BinaryFu: its quite nice
[01:17] <RyanPrior> !ccsm | FYI
[01:17] <ubotu> FYI: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[01:17] <LimCore> RyanPrior: I am in evolution... but I dont see any option to synchronize (except to palmtop) ;)
[01:17] <FYI> RyanPrior: thanks :)
[01:17] <BinaryFu> h1st0: Isn't it? I'm seriously impressed, I'm like, "VMWare what?"
[01:17] <nickrud> FYI it will take a little effort ...
[01:17] <h1st0> limac: yeah maybe you have some hardware issues.  What version of ubuntu are you using?
[01:17] <Odd-rationale> BinaryFu: I have it.
[01:17] <limac> h1st0: gutsy
[01:17] <h1st0> BinaryFu: Yeah I couldn't believe how well it was done.
[01:17] <RyanPrior> LimCore: It might be in a plugin or patch or something.
[01:17] <h1st0> limac: yeah definately run a memtest eliminate your ram as a problem.
[01:17] <darkblue_B> how to start vino from the terminal?
[01:17] <LimCore> I have all plugs enabled
[01:17] <RyanPrior> FYI: enjoy. :-)
[01:17] <limac> h1st0: celeron proc 1.5gib ram
[01:17] <h1st0> darkblue_B: type vino
[01:17] <limac> :P
[01:18] <LimCore> RyanPrior: plugin to export to filesystem?  or what?
[01:18] <BinaryFu> The only issue I have with it is using the CTRL+L, it seems to try to spaz and keep the background to itself sometimes.
[01:18] <darkblue_B> h1st0: command not found..
[01:18] <scarlet^^> hiyas
[01:18] <h1st0> BinaryFu: I'm sure it will get much better with each version.
[01:18] <LjL> DerangedDelusion: yes it's weird enough, but given that you want KDE removed anyway, and that it seems to be the only change you made to your system, i figured you'd try that first. running a sniffer or something... sure, why not. i'd also keep a "ping www.google.com" running for some time and see what happens, and something like « grep eth /var/log/messages » wouldn't hurt. i'm partial against network-manager, also
[01:18] <RyanPrior> LimCore: You would have to look around and see if you can find something that does what you want.
[01:18] <greentea> spdf where do you know these stuff do you experiment with linux?
[01:18] <BinaryFu> That's what I'm thinking.
[01:18] <h1st0> darkblue_B: ahh is it a vnc server or somethign?
[01:18] <darkblue_B> y
[01:19] <h1st0> darkblue_B: try /etc/init.d/vino start
[01:19] <RyanPrior> greentea: We learn a lot just by sitting in here and helping solve people's problems.
[01:19] <darkblue_B> aha
[01:19] <h1st0> darkblue_B: maybe it has a startup script or something.
[01:19] <scarlet^^> im having trouble playing a wmv HD movie file ... avidemux will open it, but so far i can only play it in Kaffeine, and it only renders the sound, not the video.
[01:19] <h1st0> darkblue_B: you will need sudo infront of that.
[01:19] <RyanPrior> greentea: It's a great way to become acquainted with the Ubuntu system.
[01:19] <h1st0> darkblue_B: sudo /etc/init.d/vino restart
[01:19] <BinaryFu> scarlet^^: Do you have win32codecs installed, etc?
[01:20] <RyanPrior> darkblue_B: I suggest using invoke-rc.d instead of /etc/init/whatever
[01:20] <darkblue_B> vino runs on this machine.. just booted headless.. am in , but nothing called vino in init.d
[01:20] <h1st0> greentea: I started asking questions in this channel to solve my problems.  Now from time to time I pop in just to help others out with stuff i've learned along the way.
[01:20] <scarlet^^> BinaryFu, i believe so, how can i check?
[01:20] <DerangedDelusion> LjL - grep eth /var/log/messages isn't really saying anything of any relevance - just the negotiations from when I rebooted my computer, and that's it.
[01:21] <h1st0> darkblue_B: well it has to start somehow.  I'm sure there is documentation online.
[01:21] <greentea> Ryanprior but the u need knowledge, is there a ebooks or anyway lesson sites or
[01:21] <darkblue_B> h1st0: looking...
[01:21] <BinaryFu> scarlet^^: 3 ways, CLi by using apt-get, going into Applications - Add/Remove or Synaptic (my personal fave) found in System - Admin - Synaptic Package Manager.
[01:21] <RyanPrior> greentea: You learn by reading online, asking in the channel and on the forums, helping friends, and so on.
[01:21] <julz> RyanPrior: now i know ho wto get it back, how do i get it to start every session?
[01:21] <scarlet^^> BinaryFu,  all win32 are installed  (synaptic)
[01:21] <h1st0> greentea: there are tons of sites about basic linux knowledge etc... just google and you will find a lot.
[01:21] <txoof> I want to test how well all the junk in /etc/cron.daily runs together.  Is there a sane way to fire off the entire thing so I can simulate a run
[01:22] <txoof> ?
[01:22] <RyanPrior> greentea: There is an Ubuntu book that you can but, it is very good and has lots of knowledge that is easy to read and learn.
[01:22] <h1st0> greentea: the forums are another resource
[01:22] <RyanPrior> greentea: That you can buy *
[01:22] <RyanPrior> julz: Does it require sudo to start?
[01:22] <DerangedDelusion> LjL - I'll be right back, phone call.
[01:22] <BinaryFu> scarlet^^: Okay, and what program are you wanting it to play in?
[01:22] <h1st0> darkblue_B: thats truc it could be using rc.d
[01:22] <nano__> Is there an alternative to ndiswrapper?
[01:22] <darkblue_B> gconftool ??
[01:22] <h1st0> darkblue_B: s/truc/true
[01:22] <javaJake> nano__, native drivers
[01:22] <ThipThip> I am looking for a way to have different icons on each of the faces of the desktop cube.  It seems that this is not possible in the conventional sense.  Could I instead make widgets for each function I want and put them on the various faces of the cube?  Can somebody help me with this?  I have never worked with widgets before.
[01:22] <greentea> ok that good start for me
[01:22] <greentea>  thank
[01:23] <h1st0> darkblue_B: thats to configure gconf
[01:23] <RyanPrior> greentea: gconftool-2 –recursive-unset /system/networking/wireless/networks/$ssid
[01:23] <javaJake> nano__, either Linux-based drivers, or ndiswrapper. Nothing else.
[01:23] <scarlet^^> BinaryFu, any that will handle it, im not fussy.  VLC, totem, mplayer, all open it, then crash, and Kaffeine will play audio only
[01:23] <RyanPrior> greentea: Disregard that. I meant to paste http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0132435942/interactiveda467-20
[01:23] <neeto> I am trying to install emerald, and I've got all the packages installed, but even when I run emerald --replace, there are still no window decorations. does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
[01:23] <darkblue_B> h1st0: it syays thats how you start and stop it...
[01:23] <nano__> I'm having trouble finding the drivers i need for ndiswrapper
[01:23] <javaJake> nano__, have you visited ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net?
[01:23] <BinaryFu> scarlet^^: And you have ubuntu-restricted-codecs installed as well, I'm assuming.
[01:23] <nano__> yes
[01:23] <greentea> RyanPrior thanks
[01:24] <BinaryFu> Errr, should read ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:24] <julz> RyanPrior: im not sure what youmean.. i havent typed it to get the panel back though
[01:24] <greentea> RyanPrior what does ubuntu hacks does?
[01:24] <RyanPrior> greentea: Have fun, good luck learning the ropes. :-)
[01:24] <h1st0> darkblue_B: with what gconf?
[01:24] <scarlet^^> i think so ... all medibuntu are installed
[01:24] <javaJake> nano__, I'm only here for a second, but let me see if I can give you a push towards the road of success. ;)
[01:24] <scarlet^^> pretty sure anyway
[01:24] <javaJake> nano__, what's your card name?
[01:24] <nano__> ok, thanks
[01:24] <nano__> umm
[01:24] <darkblue_B> gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote-access/enabled true
[01:24] <RyanPrior> julz: In that case, add it to sessions. (System -> Preferences -> Sessions)
[01:25] <scarlet^^> BinaryFu, other wmv are all fine tho, just the HD ones are giving me grief :)
[01:25] <nano__> intel corp. 82801g ?
[01:25] <h1st0> darkblue_B: hrm.. maybe someone else would know more than I about it.
[01:25] <BinaryFu> scarlet^^: Well, I usually give xine-ui a try, because I'm a die hard fan of the beast that most of the are made from...but you can basically right click on the file and tell it to open with...
[01:25] <BinaryFu> scarlet^^: Ahhh...
[01:25] <h1st0> darkblue_B: sounds like its controlled under services System > Administration > Services.
[01:25] <nano__> i belive the PCID is 8086:27a2
[01:25] <darkblue_B> connection refused
[01:25] <darkblue_B> ???
[01:25] <BinaryFu> scarlet^^: Hmmm...let me see if I can find a site that has one, so I can try to open it with the old pit bull.
[01:26] <darkblue_B> it was on last boot
[01:26] <scarlet^^> BinaryFu, installing xine-ui now
[01:26] <ablyss> is firestarter not recommended for ubuntu or should I stick with shorewall
[01:26] <neeto> I am trying to install emerald, and I've got all the packages installed, but even when I run emerald --replace, there are still no window decorations. does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
[01:26] <RyanPrior> ablyss: Unless you're running a server, it's doubtful that you need a firewall. Linux's built-in firewall rules are pretty strict.
[01:27] <marshall> is there a command to hide icons on the desktop? i know there is a variable in nautilus configuration, but id like to make a hotkey for it or something
[01:27] <RyanPrior> neeto: Install Compiz Fusion instead. That's supported in Ubuntu.
[01:27] <BinaryFu> scarlet^^: I'm going to dl one directly from MS.
[01:27] <scarlet^^> BinaryFu, xine-ui crashes like the rest of them
[01:27] <BinaryFu> scarlet^^: Okay, give me a few minutes to see if it's you, or if it's the HD WMV files in general.
[01:27] <h1st0> darkblue_B: ahh vino is installed by default.
[01:27] <WorkingOnWise> is there a way to play dvd's that are copied to the hard drive using this method https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html#dvdplayback ?
[01:28] <scarlet^^> ok cheers  ;))
[01:28] <neeto> RyanPrior: I've installed compiz-fusion, but since I need a window decorator for it, I installed emerald as well... neither work.
[01:28] <h1st0> darkblue_B: it should be running on startup but the settings are based on vino-preferences and stored in yoru gconf.  System > Preferences > Remote Desktop will controll vino
[01:28] <ablyss> RyanPrior: i run httpd and ssh, but have ssh configured on hosts.deny so not much to worry about there.  Also run postfix but its pretty safe just annoying to watch the sys log fill up with stmpd rejects
[01:29] <ablyss> s/stmpd/smtp
[01:29] <RyanPrior> ablyss: Well, any configurator for iptables ought to be able to do firewall things, if you need a GUI for control over your chains.
[01:29] <darkblue_B> hist0: I am lookng at the gconf file
[01:29] <h1st0> darkblue_B: looks like vino-session is called on startup.
[01:30] <darkblue_B> enabled is true
[01:30] <h1st0> darkblue_B: and if you ps aux | grep vino you will see its running.
[01:30] <darkblue_B> but connection is refused
[01:30] <julz> RyanPrior: sessions doesn't want to open for me, and when i try to log out, i say quit, but that just quits the panel! haha, any ideas?
[01:30] <h1st0> darkblue_B: did you edit the settings in System > Preferences > Remote Desktop?
[01:30] <javaJake> nano__: sorry about that
[01:30] <scarlet^^> *.rm (real media video) files are giving me hassles too ..... realplayer 10 will play them, but sound is jittery... other player will play sounds only... anyone familiar with this problem ?
[01:30] <javaJake> nano__: back now
[01:30] <ablyss> RyanPrior: i'm also running xientd instead of inetd.. you think that's okay?
[01:30] <RyanPrior> julz: It sounds absolutely bizairre.
[01:30] <nano__> its ok
[01:30] <Doonz> whats the command to list harddrives?
[01:30] <javaJake> nano__: what's your card name again?
[01:31] <RyanPrior> ablyss: I don't know.
[01:31] <ablyss> Doonz: df
[01:31] <darkblue_B> hist0: nope, just the grep itself.. not vino ??
[01:31] <Doonz> thnx
[01:31] <nickrud> Doonz: sudo fdisk -l
[01:31] <mneptok> ablyss: that will list mounted partitions, not actual hardware drives, though.
[01:31] <ablyss> df will list mounted drives only..
[01:31] <BinaryFu> scarlet^^: It'll be a few, apparently the intarweb is running low on fuel because my DLs are sucking fleshy extensions.
[01:31] <ablyss> beat me too it mneptok  :)
[01:31] <h1st0> darkblue_B: Go to System > Preferences > Remote Desktop   enable it and then try to connect
[01:32] <julz> RyanPrior: haha it does hey. i think i might just upgrade to gutsy, and in the meantime get used to this
[01:32] <darkblue_B> hist0: I am in on the command line only, on a headless machine, y?
[01:32] <nano__> im thinking its intel Corp. 82801g.... but i thinh that the pcid is 8086:27a2 if that helps
[01:32] <julz> thanks for ur help:)
[01:32] <aexis> hello...
[01:32] <scarlet^^> BinaryFu, no probs :)  there is a 16mb HD there called robotica ... smallest i saw
[01:32] <nano__> think*
[01:32] <h1st0> darkblue_B: ahh.  can you forward X from the machine?
[01:32] <Roger_The_Bum> how can I tell whether my wireless card has native or ndiswrapper support
[01:32] <aexis> may i ask a very but i mean VERY stupid question?
[01:32] <darkblue_B> hist0: dont know how to do that
[01:33] <javaJake> nano__: OK, lemme take a look around
[01:33] <ablyss> aexis: asking to ask a question is pretty strange heh
[01:33] <BinaryFu> scarlet^^: Location?
[01:33] <aexis> i want to stop some processes from being loaded each time i open a session
[01:33] <darkblue_B> hist0: I am on a mac
[01:33] <bulmer> Roger_The_Bum: you can always remove  ndiswrapper and see if it still works
[01:33] <aexis> ablyss: thanks
[01:33] <nano__> ok
[01:33] <scarlet^^> 2secs ill find
[01:33] <erawfish> aexis: which ones?
[01:33] <Grammaticus> RyanPrior, success.
[01:34] <Roger_The_Bum> yeah, but I don't want to
[01:34] <h1st0> darkblue_B: hrm... let me see if I can find where it stores its config hold up
[01:34] <Odd-rationale> aexis: go to sys --> admin --> session then to the sttart up apps. see if you can unckeck it there.
[01:34] <ablyss> aexis: open System >> Preferences >> Sessions and you disable Startup programs
[01:34] <aexis> evolution, beagle, bonovo, screensaver
[01:34] <darkblue_B> hist0: I may need to type in the password and user on a keyboard to start the session
[01:34] <WorkingOnWise> is there a way to play dvd's that are copied to the hard drive using this method https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html#dvdplayback ?
[01:34] <darkblue_B> hist0: I am fortunately able to physicallyy get to the box
[01:35] <darkblue_B> hist0: this time.. trying the keybd now
[01:35] <user01> how do i recover forgotten nickserv password?
[01:35] <Roger_The_Bum> bulmer: any method less drastic
[01:36] <nickrud> user01: ask for help on #freenode
[01:36] <jvai> hey ppls, i dled mozilla, now when i open a link in the irc, the links open in mozilla instead of firefox.. what did i do wrong?? i want FF to be default
[01:36] <javaJake> nano__: what's the name of your laptop?
[01:36] <nano__> Acer Aspire 5601
[01:36] <DerangedDelusion> LjL - I ran a packet sniffer, and sadly I couldn't copy/paste from it, and now the problems vanished for a little while - but it showed ALOT of RST packets being  sent to my computer from various IP addresses
[01:36] <BinaryFu> jvai: Just go into Firefox and tell it to be the default browser.
[01:36] <aexis> ablyss: thanks, i did it now...
[01:36] <rolobio> hi
[01:36] <nickrud> jvai: system->prefs->preferred apps
[01:36] <h1st0> darkblue_B: okay well gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true
[01:37] <aexis> Odd-rationale: thanks to you too
[01:37] <LjL> DerangedDelusion: have you angered someone? :)
[01:37] <Odd-rationale> aexis: np
[01:37] <rolobio> i'd like some help getting my graphics card to work (nVidia GeForce 6200 OC) is there anyone here who can help me?
[01:37] <jvai> nicjrud, did that before the question, & FF is already the default
[01:37] <jvai> nickrud, did that before the question, & FF is already the default
[01:37] <Odd-rationale> rolobio: Have you enabled the restricted drivers?
[01:37] <javaJake> nano__: per my research, your wireless is using the module ipw3945
[01:38] <nickrud> jvai: then give BinaryFu 's suggestion a try
[01:38] <h1st0> darkblue_B: if you can get to the physical box with a head the GUI would be the easiest way.  I can't find how to enable a password through the gconftool
[01:38] <javaJake> nano__: that's the driver name... now... to see how to load it...
[01:38] <Starnestommy> s/ot/or/
[01:38] <Starnestommy> whoops
[01:38] <Devo> How come I can't extract a .rar?
[01:38] <rolobio> i tried to go to restricted drivers to enable the driver, but it says "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers" but i can't start up my system with the graphics card in because it freezes
[01:38] <jvai>  FF is already the default
[01:38] <DerangedDelusion> LjL - I dont' know - but I just went to one of the IP addresses in firefox, and it resolved to www.digg.com x.x
[01:38] <Grammaticus> !help | Does anyone know anything at all about dial-up configuratioin?
[01:38] <ubotu> Does anyone know anything at all about dial-up configuratioin?: 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
[01:38] <BinaryFu> Devo: You need to install the package rar
[01:38] <h1st0> rolobio: what kind of card do you have?
[01:38] <th0r> javaJake modprobe ipw3945
[01:38] <aexis> ablyss: i can't unchek the screensaver app
[01:38] <Darkmystere> Ok im in nDeepToot i have a problem that has a mixmatch between windows and ubuntu..
[01:39] <aexis> it's not there
[01:39] <rolobio> BFG nVidia GeFORCE 6200 OC
[01:39] <Devo> BinaryFu: What's it called?
[01:39] <Maldizbit> hey everyone... long time windows user just migrated to ubuntu here... gonna need lots of help, so i thought i'd stick my head in now and say hello :)
[01:39] <BinaryFu> Devo: RAR
[01:39] <Devo> lol
[01:39] <Devo> BinaryFu: Thanks.
[01:39] <Darkmystere> can anybody help?
[01:39] <BinaryFu> :)
[01:39] <javaJake> nano__: for kicks, try th0r's idea: run this command in a terminal: sudo modprobe ipw3945
[01:39] <javaJake> nano__: if your wireless works, then you are all set
[01:39] <Odd-rationale> Maldizbit: Glad you're in.
[01:39] <nickrud> jvai: hm. you mentioned irc, do normal web pages open in firefox
[01:39] <BinaryFu> Devo: np
[01:39] <aexis> welcome Maldizbit
[01:39] <h1st0> rolobio: it should work unless you ahve some black market nvidia.
[01:39] <darkblue_B> hist0: just the user/pass on a kybd.. no monitor.. that starts the graphics session.. now vino is available.. thx
[01:39] <th0r> lsmod
[01:40] <nickrud> jvai: sorry reread your question
[01:40] <rolobio> nope got it off of newegg.com
[01:40] <Darkmystere> Well everybody welcomes him but no welcome to me...
[01:40] <h1st0> darkblue_B: No I mean setting a password for the remote control.
[01:40] <DerangedDelusion> LjL - and another resolves to Yahoo! - so it's actually starting to look like someone's hitting my computer with a DDoS attack, though I'm not quite sure how they could be hitting just my computer as opposed to my whole network x.x
[01:40] <Darkmystere> nickrud: I need ur help Badly..
[01:40] <aexis> welcome Darkmystere
[01:40] <jvai> nickrud yes, but when i tried a link in here, mozilla opened, instead of FF.. strange!
[01:40] <javaJake> Darkmystere: happens a lot - it's always busy around these parts
[01:40] <rolobio> i'll give you a link so you can take a look...
[01:40] <h1st0> !nvidia > rolobio,   rolobio Read the private message from ubotu.
[01:40] <BinaryFu> Darkmystere: Nobyd welcomes me either.
[01:40] <Odd-rationale> Darkmystere: who are you? ;)
[01:40] <th0r> javaJake just checked and my wifi uses the same module...and that is the name so that command should work.
[01:40] <nickrud> jvai: what irc client are you using?
[01:40] <javaJake> th0r: I'm talking to nano__ about his card. :)
[01:40] <Darkmystere> Odd-rationale: its My Dark-Mystere =)
[01:40] <Maldizbit> i just can't get over the cube 4 desktops malarky... whoever wrote that bit of code deserves a small medal imo.
[01:40] <nano__> no response after i entered the password, how do i check to see if the driver is installed again?
[01:41] <jvai>  xchat. @ nickrud.
[01:41] <nano__> sorry, first night with linux
[01:41] <th0r> javaJake yup...just offering a little support <smile>
[01:41] <javaJake> Maldizbit: talk to the compiz folks. :)
[01:41] <aexis> Odd-rationale: i can't unchekc the screensaver, do you have any idea?
[01:41] <javaJake> th0r: haha, thanks. :D
[01:41] <nickrud> Darkmystere: lol, I'm not ignoring you :)
[01:41] <Maldizbit> compiz folks? who are they?
[01:41] <rolobio> yes i know i've tried that already but i can't start up my system with the card in.
[01:41] <Darkmystere> nickrud: Well.. I need HELP Badd im acctually on windows and ubuntu channel its soo diffrent... Well
[01:41] <BinaryFu> Maldizbit: The people who made it. :)
[01:41] <javaJake> Maldizbit: in fact, the shadows around your windows, the fancy close/open effects, the minimize effects, all that is done by Compiz
[01:41] <Odd-rationale> aexis: There is no entry for screensaver, correct?
[01:41] <javaJake> Maldizbit: in case you didn't know. ;)
[01:41] <nickrud> jvai: but opening a link in, say your email client opens in firefox?
[01:41] <aexis> Odd-rationale: i've a very old pc with ONLY 256 RAM...so i desperately NEED to stop loading all the small apps that i never use
[01:41] <jvai> nickrud, i went to xchat's settings, but i didnt see the settings for it's browser
[01:41] <Maldizbit> i guessed that! but who are they, where do they chat (freenode, i hope?)
[01:41] <aexis> Odd-rationale: , correct
[01:42] <Darkmystere> nickrud: i left my computer on a plastic like cover well silky a labtop and it overheated and then obviously it Force Shutdown not too good on my install...
[01:42] <jvai> aaahh, i havent try that yet! @ nickrud
[01:42] <Odd-rationale> aexis: Actually, I think that is part of gnome-power-manager.
[01:42] <BinaryFu> Maldizbit: I dunno, they're programmers...do programmers actually chat?
[01:42] <Darkmystere> nickrud: now as u can guess file not found so i go and run chkdsk /f
[01:42] <nickrud> jvai: let me know
[01:42] <Maldizbit> i know a programmer, he chats... not sure about the rest of them though
[01:42] <aexis> Odd-rationale: aNd if i terminate/kill gnome power manager, will my pc be shut down?
[01:43] <Odd-rationale> aexis: No, you just won't have stuff like battery monitor, and power saver prefs
[01:43] <jvai> nickrud.. ok.. evolution opens FF with links. WHEEEW
[01:43] <Darkmystere> nickrud: and it finds the files ok so i go into windows looking for the files now im in live cd i can see the files but i cant get them so windows can see.. i can only see them in ubuntu..
[01:43] <nickrud> BinaryFu: you chat to some here, they just don't say they are
[01:43] <nano__> javajake did you see my last message?
[01:43] <rolobio> here is my card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143040
[01:43] <LjL> DerangedDelusion: may want to have a look at http://www.newartisans.com/blog_files/tricks.with.iptables.php - search for "drop excessive RST". you may also want to ask freenode staff a cloak for your hostname.
[01:43] <soyunperdedor> Maldizbit: Id' start in #compiz-fusion probably
[01:43] <jvai> xchat, is the culprid
[01:43] <javaJake> nano__: possibly not...
[01:43] <aexis> Odd-rationale: which, taking in count is a desktop PC, will not make any freaking diff, isn't that right?
[01:43] <Darkmystere> nickrud: So im left with 28GB left... and 2 Fragmented file system failiers anyhelp?
[01:44] <BinaryFu> nickrud: I know. :P But that smartassed comment always stirs them up...unless they're busy shaving their teeth or bashing more code. ;)
[01:44] <Maldizbit> thanks soyunperdedor
[01:44] <nickrud> Darkmystere: install explore2fs in windows, it will read your ubuntu files
[01:44] <nickrud> BinaryFu: hahahha
[01:44] <Odd-rationale> aexis: Not too much, i would think. You're plugged in all the time anyways.
[01:44] <javaJake> nano__: if you say my name before you talk to me (like I do for you) it highlights those messages so I see them better in the crowd
[01:44] <nano__> i was wondering how do i confirm that the driver is installed as i havent seen anything after i entered my password
[01:44] <javaJake> nano__: did you run that command?
[01:44] <Darkmystere> nickrud: Originally i had 70Gb....
[01:44] <BinaryFu> I have nothing but love for them, they rock.
[01:44] <javaJake> nano__: oh, then it worked. :)
[01:44] <jvai> lol. mozilla hijacked my xchat!!!
[01:44] <th0r> nano__:lsmod | grep ipw
[01:44] <B-rabbit> laterz all
[01:44] <nickrud> Darkmystere: sounds like you might have screwed your hard drive, I don't know
[01:44] <Darkmystere> how big is explore2fs?
[01:44] <javaJake> th0r: heheh, thanks, good idea
[01:45] <nickrud> jvai: a sec
[01:45] <nano__> thanks
[01:45] <th0r> javaJake magic incantation...astounds the new guys <smile>
[01:45] <jvai> i got eclipse from the repos.. & it needed mozilla i dont kno why
[01:45] <nano__> how do i connect to a wireless network now?
[01:45] <Darkmystere> nickrud: Also they wont defrag... well if and when i fix this guess what here comes lublin All partion 30GB Linux 40Gb Windows lol
[01:45] <javaJake> nano__: upper-right corner there's a wireless tool
[01:45] <javaJake> nano__: it should list out the wireless networks around
[01:45] <BinaryFu> Similar to some of the tools found in here.
[01:45] <BinaryFu> ^_^
[01:45] <aexis> Odd-rationale: is there anything ELSE i can kill without loosing any data nor config?
[01:46] <AussieHatter> i have a via nic on a ubuntu box going at the amazing speed of 512kbps... grrr
[01:46] <BinaryFu> AussieHatter: Is that b or B?
[01:47] <AussieHatter> b
[01:47] <AussieHatter> :(
[01:47] <BinaryFu> AussieHatter: Eeeeewwwwwwww....
[01:47] <BinaryFu> That's just wrong.
[01:47] <AussieHatter> yes...
[01:47] <nickrud> jvai: try sudo update-alternatives --config www-browser
[01:47] <InGunsWeTrust> I am playing with screenlets and i opened more than one mailcheck widget. If i disable or quit or any of that all of them disappear and no matter what I do if I enable it again two of them come up! how can i fix this
[01:47] <nano__> javaJake: on the bar? i dont see it, this is Ubuntu 6.06 if that makes a difference
[01:47] <Odd-rationale> aexis: Are you using gnome? If you want low resource usage, i would reccomend using fluxbox. you can install it on top of your gnome install and choose which between them.
[01:47] <rolobio> ok i'm going to put my problem on here, i apologize if its long...
[01:47] <BinaryFu> AussieHatter: Did you remember to sacrifice a chicken before you set up your network?
[01:47] <rolobio> I've tried two different nVidia graphics card and my system freezes at startup on the third line of "the worm" on the Ubuntu startup screen. The two cards are: nVidia GeForce FX5200 PCI, and nVidia GeForce 6200 OC PCI. I recently bought the 6200 thinking maybe my 5200 was broken. Does anyone know of any tutorials on how to set up these cards? I've looked and lots of tutorials and websites but can't seem to find an answer to this problem.
[01:47] <rolobio> Heres what I've been trying to do:
[01:47] <rolobio> Install and enable the restricted driver for nVidia graphics cards withthe Restricted Drivers manager. But a popup comes up telling me: "Yourhardware does not need any restricted drivers." but if I put my card inthe system freezes... if I can't enable the driver without the card inhow can I install and enable the driver??
[01:47] <javaJake> nano__: yes, that would make a difference. :)
[01:47] <DerangedDelusion> LjL - will do - any point in looking at the logs from a packet sniffer? Because I was just able to get some.
[01:47] <nickrud> jvai: if it's not mozilla, just leave it be, there's a couple others to check
[01:47] <Darkmystere> nickrud: Apprently windows hates that i like ubuntu better then windows
[01:48] <jvai> ok @ nickrud.. copying & pasting from here to shell
[01:48] <Darkmystere> !pastebin | rolobio
[01:48] <nickrud> Darkmystere: nah, your laptop hated that counter
[01:48] <ubotu> rolobio: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:48] <nomasteryoda> InGunsWeTrust, that'd be under the properties when you right click the screenlet in question
[01:48] <nomasteryoda> instead of the context menu
[01:48] <javaJake> nano__: the latest version of Ubuntu is much better, but we'll go ahead and use what you've got. Open System -> Administration -> Networking
[01:48] <aexis> Odd-rationale: itried Xfdce, and it was MORE resources that it eat the bastard....
[01:48] <rolobio> ok thank you...
[01:48] <javaJake> nano__: you'll see your wireless stuff there. Self-explanatory, but ask if you have any problems
[01:48] <aexis> Odd-rationale: i'm on Xubuntu/Ubuntu now
[01:48] <Darkmystere> rolobio: Sorry but that was a mouth full lol
[01:48] <Odd-rationale> aexis: Fluxbos is light. I promise.
[01:49] <ruthbuzzard> hey can someone help me with my linux printing?
[01:49] <acidfire2008> I got a question im trying to setup pure-ftpd under ssh to a ubuntu server and was wondering if anyone could help me configure it?
[01:49] <Darkmystere> rolobio: I did it once also its fine
[01:49] <AussieHatter> nope soorry,  it's B
[01:49] <ruthbuzzard> !printing
[01:49] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[01:49] <aexis> Odd-rationale: may i be able to keep the soft i already installed on Ubuntu?
[01:49] <acidfire2008> Im trying to figure out how to change port and also change home directory
[01:49] <AussieHatter> 512kB/s
[01:49] <rolobio> ok heres the link to my problem: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51964/
[01:49] <Darkmystere> nickrud: lol what does that mean
[01:49] <InGunsWeTrust> where under properties I have looked all over
[01:49] <th0r> aexis if xfce was hogging resources something else was wrong...I have done some serious comparisons and xfce is relatively good on resource management
[01:49] <AussieHatter> no chicken sacrisfising
[01:50] <nickrud> Darkmystere: that seems to be what happened, an overheat and hardware failure.
[01:50] <jvai> lol @ nickrud, look "There is only 1 program which provides www-browser(/usr/bin/w3m). Nothing to configure"
[01:50] <Darkmystere> nickrud: everything works better in Ubuntu and windows hates it soo much that when i was trying to defrag a virus unfragged..
[01:50] <Odd-rationale> aexis: Yes. Just install "fluxbox" on top of your current install. Let me get you some links...
[01:50] <LjL> DerangedDelusion, well, i'm far from an expert, you sound more like one than i am really. but i'm just reading that the primary purpose of an RST attack may be to, well, close your connections. that however requires spoofing a packet coming from the *right* host (like spoofing one from yahoo.com if you're visiting yahoo.com), and doing *several* attempts to guess the correct sequence number. i'm reading this at http://kerneltrap.org/node/3072 . so you could
[01:50] <LjL> see if the *amount* of the RST packets seems like enough to think that such an attack might be happening, or whether it's simply a smaller (though still substantial) amount of packets simply meant to generally hose your connection.
[01:50] <javaJake> LjL floods! 0o
[01:50] <Darkmystere> LOL
[01:50] <javaJake> The world has come to an end!
[01:50] <LjL> javaJake: verbosity is not flood
[01:50] <nickrud> jvai: try running   sensible-browser   in a terminal, what do you get
[01:50] <Darkmystere> !lol | Darkmystere
[01:50] <javaJake> !flood | LjL
[01:50] <ubotu> LjL: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:50] <javaJake> ;)
[01:50] <LjL> !b > javaJake    (javaJake, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:50] <aexis> Odd-rationale: & th0r, my problme is to free resources to use some soft for video and audio editing....
[01:51] <th0r> LjL verbosity is usually sesquipedalian
[01:51] <javaJake> LjL: heheheh, I know, I know... :)
[01:51] <aexis> th0r: so xfce Is more light than Gnome?
[01:51] <LjL> javaJake ;P
[01:51] <rolobio> does anyone know an answer to my problem? i've been working on this for a few weeks now, i'm not a noob with computers at all... and this one has me stumped...
[01:51] <Odd-rationale> aexis: You can run both kde and gnome apps in fluxbox.
[01:51] <jvai> lmao.. @ nickrud... moz opened up!
[01:51] <nano__> javaJake: thanks, I'll check it out, 6.06 LTS  if that makes a difference ;D
[01:51] <th0r> aexis definitely more light than gnome. Probably a little heavier than fluxbox...but xfce has some nice features that I think make it worthwhile
[01:51] <aexis> Odd-rationale: that sound very good indeed then
[01:52] <Darkmystere> rolobio: Ur lucky i havent been able to keep a working ubuntu install for more then 3 days or less -.-
[01:52] <javaJake> nano__: nope. :)
[01:52] <mrbrdo> hey, what do i need for my Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) to work?
[01:52] <nickrud> jvai: ah,  sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
[01:52] <mrbrdo> which package\driver
[01:52] <javaJake> nano__: it's good to check though
[01:52] <ruthbuzzard> !printing
[01:52] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[01:52] <aexis> th0r: so how could i check what was wrong with my xfce?
[01:52] <TeXnicer> mrbrdo: did you check lspci?
[01:52] <matt___> i need to add 9 audio mp3s into one, one after the other. altogether they are about 500mb, i tried audacity, but is there an easier way to do this?
[01:52] <TeXnicer> !lspci
[01:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lspci - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:52] <rolobio> Darkmystere: lol, yes well i've been able to solve every problem so far but this one...
[01:52] <AussieHatter> i am tempted to switch eth1 and eth0 around in 70-persistent-net-rules then reboot and ask a staff to switch the cables around....  however if there is a problem i am 2.5 hours away....
[01:52] <aexis> th0r: 'cos with gnome i've ahd no probelms, the PC IS faster than under freaking Windows (R)
[01:53] <matt___> basically, i have 8 mp3's, and would like to combine them into one, each playing after the other.
[01:53] <jvai> nickrud.. same results - There is only 1 program which provides www-browser(/usr/bin/w3m). Nothing to configure.
[01:53] <AussieHatter> will i risk it ?
[01:53] <nano__> th0r: Thanks
[01:53] <mrbrdo> TeXnicer how do you think i got "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)"?
[01:53] <nickrud> jvai: no,   x-www-browser it's different
[01:53] <jvai> oo ok
[01:53] <Odd-rationale> aexis: Good howto for fluxbox: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox
[01:53] <Darkmystere> rolobio: windows hates that i like ubuntu better then i do windows i stoped using windows entirely for 3days now the virual disk is fragmented and windows doesnt see the file that im looking at when i mounted windows from livecd
[01:53] <TeXnicer> mrbrdo: i would google that then
[01:53] <javaJake> AussieHatter: no. :)
[01:53] <telee> if i wanted to link (ln) would this be the command.  I would be in the folder i want to link to my external.  ln /media/MEDIA/music
[01:53] <Thoth1287> Just wanted to thank everyone who helped me fix my problem with Synaptic package manager, u kno who u r!
[01:53] <InGunsWeTrust> In the options of my screenlet I have X-Position Y-Position Scale Stick to Desktop Treat as Widget Lock position Keep Above Keep Below Skip Pager Skip Taskbar Alloq overiding Options Ask on Override and some email stuff. Where do i make myself only have ONE!
[01:53] <th0r> aexis I run gkrellm to keep tabs on the system. I run a coreduo with 1G ram, at present my cpu load is between 0 and 2%, and I have 795M free ram. If you don't see similar I would start with 'top' to see what is using up cpu or memory
[01:53] <mrbrdo> TeXnicer don't you think i haven't done that yet
[01:53] <InGunsWeTrust> haha
[01:53] <mrbrdo> blah blah
[01:54] <rolobio> Darkmystere: do you have windows installed as well? or just linux?
[01:54] <mneptok> mrbrdo: it should work without much fiddling
[01:54] <TeXnicer> mrbrdo: and check ubuntuusers.
[01:54] <CaPsULe> How create 512Mb swap?
[01:54] <AussieHatter> javajake :  dammit !
[01:54] <jvai> nickrud - "no alternatives for xwww-browser"
[01:54] <Thoth1287> it was as simple as changing my IP from localhost to the real one
[01:54] <matt___> i need to add 9 audio mp3s into one, one after the other. altogether they are about 500mb, i tried audacity, but is there an easier way to do this?
[01:54] <mrbrdo> well it doesn't work out of the box
[01:54] <Thoth1287> TY all
[01:54] <matt___> i need to add 9 audio mp3s into one, one after the other. altogether they are about 500mb, i tried audacity, but is there an easier way to do this?
[01:54] <CaPsULe> How create 512Mb swap?
[01:54] <mrbrdo> with 7.10 KDE4
[01:54] <mneptok> mrbrdo: what makes you say that? is Network Manager displaying access points?
[01:54] <javaJake> AussieHatter: not that it won't work, but you can never tell. :)
[01:54] <aexis> th0r: i'm not running, i'm fuckjing WALKING
[01:54] <nickrud> jvai: finally,  try gnome-www-browser
[01:54] <Darkmystere> rolobio: Both Im starting to hate windows Ubuntu is more smooth but im trying to be nice and keep it and give windows the better share of the pie i.e 40GB ubuntu 30GB
[01:54] <LjL> !language | aexis
[01:54] <ubotu> aexis: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[01:54] <mrbrdo> mneptok iwconfig doesn't list anything but eth0 which is LAN
[01:55] <rolobio> CaPsULe: can you explain your question more thoroughly?
[01:55] <mrbrdo> and lo0
[01:55] <Odd-rationale> aexis: If you want to know how it looks like (not right out of the box, though): http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=55532&d=1199661443
[01:55] <th0r> aexis install gkrellm first...you will love it.
[01:55] <AussieHatter> javaJake, yes thats it,  if it doesnt i will have to drive there
[01:55] <TeXnicer> mrbrdo: iwconfig?
[01:55] <aexis> th0r: 1,8 @2,4, 256 RAM...
[01:55] <mneptok> mrbrdo: is Network Manager displaying access points?
[01:55] <nano__> javaJake: I dont see a list of avail. networks? sorry, new to linux, maybe too used to windows
[01:55] <AussieHatter> i am struggling to think how i can fix it from here thouh......
[01:55] <rolobio> Darksystere: lol i was doing the same thing then i found wine! its awesome but i just can't get this graphics card working...
[01:55] <mrbrdo> mneptok i don't know i think iwconfig is kind of more basic don't you think
[01:55] <CaPsULe> rolobio: I want create swap partition.
[01:55] <jvai> nickrud.. FF opened, but in another window
[01:55] <aexis> sorry ljl
[01:55] <jvai> strange
[01:55] <nickrud> jvai: ok, not mozilla. hm.  type   echo $BROWSER
[01:55] <zamfir> Trying to add my monitor under Screens & Graphics. A restart is needed. When done, the monitor is listed again as Unknown. How can I fix this?
[01:56] <rolobio> Capsule: ok is your OS already fully installed or are you installing it right now?
[01:56] <mneptok> mrbrdo: you should use Network Manager to diagnose wifi issues. it's more reliable as to what it actually sees than is iwconfig.
[01:56] <th0r> aexis I still think xfce will work. I am running a server with 7.10 that runs xfce remotely, and even there the cpu is under 5% most of the time and mem is 86M free out of 192M
[01:56] <CaPsULe> rolobio: i have installed
[01:56] <mneptok> mrbrdo: is Network Manager displaying access points? any at all?
[01:56] <mrbrdo> mneptok does that exist for KDE
[01:56] <CaPsULe> rolobio: how i can know swap size?
[01:56] <mneptok> mrbrdo: oho! KDE.
[01:56] <mrbrdo> i'm rebooting right now i'll see if it's there
[01:56] <rolobio> Capsule: your swap should be twice the size of your RAM
[01:56] <mneptok> mrbrdo: you might want to try #kubuntu
[01:56] <InGunsWeTrust> I am playing with screenlets and i opened more than one mailcheck widget. If i disable or quit or any of that all of them disappear and no matter what I do if I enable it again two of them come up! how can i fix this (it is not in properties I tried that)
[01:56] <exneo> hey what command do I use to put kde4.0 on top of fiesty
[01:57] <Flare183> !kde4
[01:57] <ubotu> KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ - Support in #kubuntu-kde4
[01:57] <exneo> i tried kde4.0-desktop but it dont work
[01:57] <rolobio> does anyone know an answer to my problem? I've looked everywhere... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51964/
[01:57] <mrbrdo> mneptok it doesn't matter which window manager i'm using for NETWORK RELATED issues!
[01:57] <T3> hey guys.. i'm looking for the package that bring 'spawn' command
[01:57] <T3> some ideas?
[01:57] <mrbrdo> at least last i checked
[01:57] <jvai> nickrud, nada, just a space, then back to curser command wait
[01:57] <CaPsULe> rolobio: cat /proc/swaps this shows swap size?
[01:57] <mneptok> mrbrdo: it does if you're using DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT SPECIFIC UTILITIES TO TROUBLESHOOT
[01:57] <mrbrdo> look
[01:57] <mrbrdo> ifconfig -a
[01:57] <DerangedDelusion> LjL - for someone who's not an expert, securing my iptables using the tricks on that site really helped - I had assumed that Ubuntu had a default 'safe' configuration for iptables, but in fact, I was basically on the web without a firewall - but it's working great now - thanks!
[01:57] <exneo> so is their a terminal command to install kde4.0
[01:57] <mrbrdo> doesn't even display the iface
[01:57] <mrbrdo> ok?
[01:58] <mrbrdo> so i doubt Gnome could show something to me that ifconfig can't
[01:58] <ruthbuzzard> ok I have a canon mp370 all in one printer I should use cups to print right?
[01:58] <AussieHatter> DerangedDelusion, are you not behind an adsl modem ?
[01:58] <jvai> moz hijacked my xchat....
[01:58] <exneo> so what command do I use
[01:58] <mneptok> mrbrdo: welp, i'm sure you know more about this stuff than i.
[01:58]  * nickrud doesn't ever remember mneptok shouting
[01:58]  * mneptok tootles off to help others
[01:58] <rolobio> Capsule: uhm... i'm not to sure about that, sorry but the only way I know how to create swap space is to do it during the installation (i'd just go with what ubuntu reccomends)
[01:58] <LjL> DerangedDelusion, well, it's pretty safe by default, since there's no services listening on any ports (well, i think there's an exception to that in Gutsy). being vulnerable to DDoS doesn't mean not being "safe" from a security perspective... it just breaks your connections :)
[01:59] <TeXnicer> how to invite ppl into channel?
[01:59] <jvai> i had moz & moz composer installed
[01:59] <zamfir> Trying to add my monitor under Screens & Graphics. A restart is needed. When done, the monitor is listed again as Unknown. How can I fix this?
[01:59] <ruthbuzzard> now does that mean I need certain modules to make this printer work'
[01:59] <jvai> when i install eclispe
[01:59] <erawfish> TeXnicer:  /invite
[01:59] <aexis> DerangedDelusion: ALL the ports are CLOSEd by default..what are you tlaking about?
[01:59] <LjL> aexis: uhm, no.
[01:59] <LjL> there's just no services listening.
[01:59] <nickrud> jvai: when you installed eclipse. One last thing, do    env | sort  , and put that on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[02:00] <exneo> so how do i install kde4.0 over fiesty from the terminal
[02:00] <DerangedDelusion> aexis - This was a problem with TCP RST flood attack, that LjL helped me to figure out.
[02:00] <LjL> !kde4 > exneo    (exneo, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:00] <aexis> lkl i tested my ports after installing
[02:00] <mneptok> exneo: i doubt KDE4 is in Feisty's backports, but i could be wrong.
[02:00] <portablejim>  Does anyone use either Nvidia Geforce 7200GS or Nvidia Geforce 8400GS? How well do they perform? (I want to know whether (or not) I should buy one).
[02:00] <Darkmystere> LjL: Is there a stats plugin for ubotu i want to know how much time ive wasted >.>
[02:00] <DerangedDelusion> aexis - that's not going to prevent a brute force TCP RST/DDoS attack
[02:00] <aexis> DerangedDelusion: and they were all closed by default
[02:01] <Darkmystere> LjL: In all lol
[02:01] <DerangedDelusion> aexis - That's great, but a TCP RST attack relies on you having an open web connection
[02:01] <aexis> DerangedDelusion: interesting then....
[02:01] <LjL> !ircstats > Darkmystere    (Darkmystere, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:01] <InGunsWeTrust> what does everyone think the best email client is
[02:01] <aexis> DerangedDelusion: so did you install firestarter?
[02:01] <jvai> apt-get remove mozilla? @ nickrud. & ouch on env \ sort - no such file or directory
[02:01] <DerangedDelusion> aexis - No, I just blocked excessive rst packets in iptables
[02:01] <javaJake> portablejim: a general rule of thumb is, if they're newer than six months, don't expect full Linux support. A year is a good safety limit.
[02:02] <zamfir> HELP! Trying to add my monitor under Screens & Graphics. A restart is needed. When done, the monitor is listed again as Unknown. How can I fix this?
[02:02] <ruthbuzzard> the printer is recognized in system so does that mean I just have to setup cups?
[02:02] <nickrud> jvai: not backslash, vertical bar, above the \ on my keyboard
[02:02] <LjL> DerangedDelusion, i argue however that Ubuntu should *not* provide such sophisticated (and potentially service-denying itself) "flood protection". it should certainly make sure that no sensitive and potentially exploitable services are running on your machine, but i really don't think it ought to implement active counter-measures by default - with all their conceivable side effects.
[02:02] <jvai> aah ok
[02:02] <aexis> DerangedDelusion: i found a much better way of protecting my pc
[02:02] <portablejim> I am wanting performance info.  DDOS is not something you protect yourself against but your ISP does for you
[02:03] <nickrud> jvai: what's the url?
[02:03] <exneo> ubotu didnt explain my question I use feisty and I want kde 4.0
[02:04] <erawfish> not as if your connection could normally handly any kind of DDOS: it will be just overwhelmed no matter what
[02:04] <aexis> LjL nope, that's true.....i know that for sad expoerience
[02:04] <exneo> so is their a sudo apt-get .. to install kde4.0
[02:04] <LjL> exneo: did you miss the part that says that KDE 4.0 support is to be obtained in #kubuntu-kde4?
[02:04] <jvai> nickrud - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51966/
[02:04]  * javaJake wonders how he can turn off the annoying *star* highlights LjL's been using in irssi
[02:04] <erawfish> !kde4 | exneo
[02:04] <ubotu> exneo: KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ - Support in #kubuntu-kde4
[02:04] <LjL> javaJake: you use a client that for some reason decides to render words that have asterisks around them as *bold*... you face the consequences :)
[02:04] <aexis> LjL, but as each time i install something better to protect my connection, the (CENSORED) use some thing even BETTER, then i just have to get along with it
[02:05] <zamfir> Could someone please help me?
[02:05] <erawfish> !helpme | zamfir
[02:05] <ubotu> zamfir: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience
[02:05] <ThipThip> WINE question:  Has anyone ever encountered a situation where the "file edit view" menus would not work in WINE?  Is there a solution?
[02:05] <nickrud> jvai: if sensible-browser starts mozilla, one of $BROWSER , gnome-www-browser, x-www-browser, or www-browser has to point to it
[02:06] <zamfir> !repeat
[02:06] <erawfish> jvai: ls /etc/alternatives/*browse*
[02:06] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[02:06] <aexis> erawfish: so HOW could i protect my connection that way?
[02:06] <zamfir> !patience
[02:06] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[02:06] <jvai> nickrud sensible-browser open MOZ
[02:06] <erawfish> myrtion: against a DDOS? you can't really
[02:06] <exneo> if i type in sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop in feisty will I get 3.5 or 4.0
[02:06] <AussieHatter> do you think acpi or an interrupt could cause the via chip to go slow ?
[02:06] <erawfish> except get a new IP for example or your ISP does it for you
[02:06] <AussieHatter> via nic that is
[02:06] <LjL> exneo: 3.5
[02:06] <Darkmystere> brb
[02:07] <aexis> erawfish: my IP is not a fix one...
[02:07] <exneo> how do I install 4.0
[02:07] <nickrud> jvai: so one of those should start mozilla,  /usr/bin/sensible-browser is so simple even I can read it
[02:07] <starfall87> 7.10/laptop/fglrx 7.12-my monitor does not turn off after any amount of inactivity even though it is set to turn off after 15 minutes, not using XGL/compiz or AIGLX/compiz
[02:07] <Ryuho> what's a good gui based ftp/ssh connect program that can drag and drop files?
[02:07] <erawfish> if a few thousand machines send you rubbish even DROP will saturate your connection
[02:08] <th0r> Ryuho I use fusesmb or sshfs to map shares to folders in my home...then I can drag and drop
[02:08] <aexis> erawfish: question: how can i start as SUP without the terminals?
[02:08] <Ryuho> hm
[02:08] <Ryuho> thanks
[02:08] <erawfish> what is a SUP?
[02:08] <aexis> i started several softs and they all said that i didn't have root privs, but when i try to log in as root it doesn't let me
[02:09] <zamfir> how can i install a new monitor in Ubuntu?
[02:09] <erawfish> aexis: that's how it's supposed to be. start the software with gksudo
[02:09] <LjL> !root > aexis    (aexis, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:09] <Devo> Guess what I just learned? rm -rf /
[02:09] <erawfish> zamfir: unplug old, plug in new, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver and restart X
[02:10] <aexis> LjL: silly, it's My pc, not a stolen one...i KNOW the root password
[02:10] <erawfish> Devo: did you run that command?
[02:10] <erawfish> or that
[02:10] <aexis> when i am asked for it, as for installing updates, there's no prob
[02:10] <LjL> !root | aexis, which part is not clear?
[02:10] <ubotu> aexis, which part is not clear?: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[02:11] <jvai> aaaarg, lost.. ok.. ty @ nickrud
[02:11] <aexis> but sometimes i try to use a soft and it says that i don't have th root privs, and when i tried to close the session adn start it as root i am not allowed to do so
[02:11] <LjL> aexis: nor should you. *READ THE ABOVE*
[02:11] <pablo> jhola
[02:11] <erawfish> what part of gksudo is hard o use?
[02:11] <pablo> hay alguien
[02:11] <pablo> ?
[02:11] <LjL> !es | pablo
[02:11] <ubotu> pablo: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[02:11] <nickrud> jvai: very wierd, true. Considering installing mozilla just to see ;)
[02:11] <Ryuho-tablet> hm
[02:11] <aexis> LjL, ok thanks, i got it now
[02:12] <jvai> nooo! lol dont do it man @ nickrud
[02:12] <erawfish> if mozilla doesn't set the alternatives properly it's a bug
[02:12] <ogre> hey guys, I just deleted a partition and merged 30gb into my ubuntu partition. when i went to reboot it wouldnt start x. i ran a fsck and had to select "Y" for all inode repair. i cant see the space in conky any suggestions? please help im on a time constraint
[02:12] <aexis> erawfish: what's this gksudo you tlaked about?
[02:12] <Odd-rationale> aexis: gksudo is a graphical sudo
[02:12] <LjL> !gksudo
[02:12] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[02:13] <Darkmystere> nickrud: Ur gunna kick my big fat but when u figure out how easy it was to fix my problem...
[02:13] <zamfir> erawfish: Do you know why a monitor on the list wouldn't be recognized by Ubuntu, or when it is set under Screens & Graphics, it resets to Unknown on restart?
[02:13] <Darkmystere> nickrud: Guess what i did...
[02:14] <nickrud> Darkmystere: not a clue
[02:14] <Gekkomon_Shogun> i feel stupid right now
[02:14] <jvai> nickrud, the results for ls /etc/alternatives/*browser* ->  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51967/
[02:15] <nickrud> jvai: those are all links, one might point directly at mozilla, but might also go thru a couple other links:  ls -l
[02:15] <Darkmystere> nickrud: I pulled the file named "disks" from the file windows couldnt see and then opened another fileborswer with windows in it and pulled the file inot ubuntu and guess what Ubuntu booted i just wantred to tell others how to fix it if they get that problem
[02:15] <Gekkomon_Shogun> dont u hate it when u dload something and you forgot to save it and it failes to open
[02:16] <Darkmystere> nickrud: U want to help me file a Fix? For some reason ubuntu fourms wont let me post >.>
[02:16] <nickrud> Darkmystere: I don't have an account on the forums
[02:16] <etzerd> hello all

[02:16] <Darkmystere> nickrud: Well u know anymods that do?
[02:16] <etzerd> when the next version of ubuntu will be out?
[02:17] <nickrud> not off the top of my head, I don't spend much time there

[02:18] <ruthbuzzard> is there a ubuntu classroom for printing?
[02:18] <Odd-rationale> aexis: You tried what?

[02:20] <robert_> 'eyesapplet-kde4: Depends: kdebase-runtime-bin but it is not going to be installed' -- wtf?
[02:22] <viator> im trying to enter a kernel paramter in the grub menu.lst
[02:22] <viator> but im not sure i put it in the right place
[02:23] <aexis> Odd-rationale: forget it, NOW it worked, i must have done something worng
[02:23] <viator> i put it under ##start default options#
[02:23] <Odd-rationale> aexis: Sorry, I must have missed it. What were you trying to do?
[02:23] <zamfir> erawfish: you told me to run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver then restart x, right?
[02:23] <viator> well at the bottom of the stuff in that small section
[02:24] <viator> can someone look at this if i paste bin it
[02:24] <robdig> viator: paste it in the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and we'll take a look. don't paste it in the channel please
[02:24] <aexis> Odd-rationale:  to use gksudo, and for some reason i'm trying to fiond, it opened a media reader instead
[02:24] <jvai> ok ppls.. stay safe....
[02:25] <Odd-rationale> aexis: Oh, i see.
[02:25] <WorkingOnWise> is there a way to play dvd's that are copied to the hard drive using this method https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html#dvdplayback ?
[02:25] <butsniffer> is it possible to change a process's priority level ?
[02:25] <viator> ok pasted it
[02:25] <aexis> Odd-rationale: did you have any problme with the sound card?
[02:26] <Odd-rationale> aexis: Nope.
[02:26] <aexis> not for now, but i'm testing my softs for audio editing and in some of them i get a message like my audio card is being used by other oft..
[02:26] <robdig> viator: you need to paste the link here :)
[02:26] <viator> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51968/
[02:27] <starfall87> butsniffer: yes you need to change the nice valude of the command, learn more here: http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_nice.htm
[02:27] <starfall87> value*
[02:27] <butsniffer> can it be done after executed?
[02:27] <butsniffer> and would of been simpler to just say nice command?
[02:27] <viator> i thought i had it there?
[02:27] <viator> thats weird
[02:28] <starfall87> butsniffer: I do not believe so, what do you want to change the priority of?
[02:28] <viator> where should i add The kerner parameter "i8042.nomux=1"
[02:28] <butsniffer> xmms
[02:28] <butsniffer> ktorrent
[02:28] <butsniffer> to name a few.
[02:29] <starfall87> butsniffer: how are you launching those programs, if you are using menu, you can edit their menu entries
[02:29] <butsniffer> command line.
[02:29] <starfall87> butsniffer: do you have them in a shell script or something so that they start when you boot?
[02:30] <butsniffer> starfall87, no
[02:30] <osiri1> hey guys, and gals, maybe...anyway, anyone remember me from last night? with the tty issue?

[02:30] <i3ear> My ke3ybo9ar4d do9e3s no9t w2o9r4k
[02:30] <viator> im not sure where to enter it
[02:30] <i3ear> Bu7t
[02:30] <i3ear> Thats no9t my p0r4o9ble3m
[02:31] <robdig> viator: i'd put it at the end of the line that begins with # kopt=
[02:31] <butsniffer> cpu priority is the same as schedualing prioity?
[02:31] <krame1> nickrud, remember me?
[02:31] <i3ear> My add r4e3mo9ve3 p0r4o9gr4am thi8ng
[02:31] <gilster> i got a question about grub on separate drives. I have one drive now that has two partitions, first XP was installed then Gutsy with grub making all the right menu entries. Now, i have another hard drive,empty, on which i want to isntall Fedora 8. My question-- First, how will the FC8 bootloader deal with grub on the other drive, and second where will the boot loader go(on which disc)?
[02:31] <widarto> I just migration from Vista to Ubuntu 7.10, how to import email from outlook to evolution, pls advise
[02:31] <i3ear> w2o9r4n't w2o9r4k
[02:31] <starfall87> butsniffer: you are able to manually adjust nice values in gnome system monitor, however you would have to adjust them whenever they are restarted
[02:31] <butsniffer> gnome system monitor? like top?
[02:31] <viator> you mean just below it right
[02:31] <robert_> FREAKING A
[02:32] <robert_> what the hell does 'Depends: x but it is not going to be installed' mean?
[02:32] <starfall87> butsniffer: System>Admin>System Monitor in gnome
[02:32] <robert_> why is x not going to be installed?
[02:32] <aexis> widarto: you already migrated or you are doing it as is?
[02:32] <starfall87> butsniffer: are you not using gnome?
[02:32] <robert_> oh
[02:32] <robdig> viator: no, at the end of that line
[02:32] <butsniffer> i am. i just never use all this fancy point and click shit.
[02:32] <butsniffer> 99% is all terminal.
[02:32] <robert_> sub-sub-sub-package problems
[02:33] <widarto> i mean, just install ubuntu in my laptop
[02:33] <krame1> if anyone can, i'm using 7.04 on my hpdv60xx, i have tried twice now to burn the disk, and its always the tty control problem. i can't check the disk, because of tty, and  i cant do safe graphics cause of tty
[02:33] <starfall87> butsniffer: well to do it in terminal, when you launch the program, you should do, for example
[02:33] <starfall87> nice 10 xmms where 10 is a value between -20 and 19, with -20 being the highest priority
[02:33] <viator> kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro "i8042.nomux=1"
[02:33] <gilster> i got a question about grub on separate drives. I have one drive now that has two partitions, first XP was installed then Gutsy with grub making all the right menu entries. Now, i have another hard drive,empty, on which i want to isntall Fedora 8. My question-- First, how will the FC8 bootloader deal with grub on the other drive, and second where will the boot loader go(on which disc)?
[02:33] <viator> like that hmmm i think i need to remove the quotes
[02:33] <robdig> viator: without the ""
[02:34] <aexis> widarto: but if you already installed it, then you have not the copntacts in outlook anymore, isn't that right?
[02:34] <viator> ok cool then i un comment that line
[02:34] <viator> right
[02:34] <robdig> viator: then you need to run sudo update-grub which will add it to the actual kernel lines
[02:34] <robdig> viator: no don't uncomment it, or you'll break grub
[02:35] <viator> hmmm ok
[02:35] <MethodOne> when mount a burned data dvd, i'm not able to read the files as a regular user
[02:35] <sugaryeti24> hello ubuntu chat, is there a linux/ubuntu program that can export a movie to punch cards?
[02:36] <madz> Hello
[02:36] <darkkith> sugaryeti24: only tapes and vic-20 drive are supported
[02:36] <gilster> anyone here use FC8 on a dualboot with gutsy?

[02:36] <sugaryeti24> darkkith: ah, thanks
[02:37] <butsniffer> so there's no way to change niceness after a program has already been launched?
[02:37] <starfall87> butsniffer: is that what you were looking for?
[02:37] <robdig> viator: hmm...
[02:37] <krame1> nickrud, you there?
[02:37] <aexis> anybody know about some driver for a SD card reader?
