[00:00] <skorasaurus> i did some google searching and couldn't find anything helpful yet
[00:00] <LjL> meoblast001: it might show up after the next reboot, for now just type it in a terminal
[00:00] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: is the filesystem vfat or ntfs?
[00:00] <skorasaurus> its fat16
[00:00] <skorasaurus> iirc
[00:00] <adi> so now I should reboot and from tty i should use visudo?
[00:00] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: so then you want -t fat
[00:00] <DaskreecH> Where could I find out if a Unichrome Video card would use the Via or unichrome driver ?
[00:00] <LjL> adi: no, you should answer questions i ask
[00:00] <LjL> adi: and i asked you to type "sudo true" and see if that works.
[00:00] <skorasaurus> BlueEagle: same response.
[00:00] <adi> 1 sek
[00:01] <sebjo> jrib: ps -ef | grep apache ?
[00:01] <adi> LJL | thanks :)
[00:01] <Mooloo> anyone know what the difference is between dvorak and dvorak international layouts? it doesn't say a specific nationality
[00:01] <mib_scwp2o> how would i do this for example: $variable = locate *.html , echo HTML UPDATE!! >> $variable
[00:01] <adi> root@ubuntu:~# sudo true
[00:01] <adi> sudo: can't stat /etc/sudoers: No such file or directory
[00:01] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: sudo fdisk -l |grep /dev/sda1
[00:01] <LjL> Mooloo: probably has a few accented letters mapped to AltGr + stuff
[00:02] <DaskreecH> adi: you killed sudo
[00:02] <ianm_> anyone have a lenovo ideapad ?
[00:02] <Frogging101> k
[00:02] <adi> :(
[00:02] <LjL> adi: ok. reboot into recovery mode (that's a choice available in your GRUB boot menu), then copy the sudoers that you have in your home into /etc/sudoers (with "cp /home/whatever/sudoers /etc/sudoers")
[00:02] <Frogging101> whoops
[00:02] <jrib> sebjo: sure
[00:02] <Mooloo> ah it does. thanks LjL.
[00:02] <mib_scwp2o> i need help D
[00:02] <bunnyto> I Love Ubuntu
[00:02] <DaskreecH> LjL: It's amazing how bad a mistake you can make and have it trivially fixed in LInux
[00:02] <DaskreecH> naruto: Believe it!
[00:03] <DaskreecH> mib_scwp2o: with ?
[00:03] <adi> how to boot in recovery mode?
[00:03] <mib_scwp2o> how would i do this for example: $variable = locate *.html , echo HTML UPDATE!! >> $variable
[00:03] <LjL> DaskreecH: so you can make it again the next time
[00:03] <adi> oh i get it
[00:03] <mib_scwp2o> :/
[00:03] <LjL> adi: usually, do you see a menu when you boot?
[00:03] <adi> sory
[00:03] <DaskreecH> adi: When you reboot press esc when you see the grub message
[00:03] <adi> yes i remmber
[00:03] <skorasaurus> BlueEagle: /dev/sdb1               1         979      250574+   6  FAT16
[00:03] <DaskreecH> LjL: Hopefully more disatrious this time
[00:03] <jrib> sebjo: please use a pastebin and talk in the channel
[00:04] <adi> im trying to understand everything clear
[00:04] <skorasaurus> (it's been sdb1, not sda1, but i issued the same command as directed before, replaced the sda1 with the sdb1, but i had same result.
[00:04] <Tetracomm> oh no
[00:04] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: The command you're trying to use with fsck is it `sudo fsck /dev/sdb1`
[00:04] <Tetracomm> Sorry
[00:04] <BlueEagle> ?
[00:04] <adi> cause i think if I dont make it I cant log in my sys anymore
[00:04] <skorasaurus> hah - i fogot to sudo that.
[00:04] <adi> right?
[00:05] <sebjo> jrib: ok. sry
[00:05] <skorasaurus> i received some results.
[00:05] <mib_scwp2o> any one know how :(
[00:05] <skorasaurus> don't know if it's good or not.
[00:05] <dave____> ok so my brand new WD eide which has been working great for a week is now freezing my system up compeltely (need to hard boot each time)
[00:05] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: The reason I asked is because your error message reffered to /dev/sda1
[00:05] <LjL> adi: you can log in, but you can't use sudo. so reboot into recovery mode, and fix sudo.
[00:05] <jrib> sebjo: well you can either kill apache yourself or reboot
[00:05] <dave____> and im getting this error
[00:05] <dave____> http://paste.ubuntu.com/57038/
[00:06] <meoblast001> LjL: i just deleted ~/.sane/xsane and now it works
[00:06] <dave____> anyone know what to make of it? google is no help nobody seems to have solved it
[00:06] <skorasaurus> BlueEagle: i issued it again with sdb1, and i had the same msg.
[00:06] <adi> ah ok this is a good news :)
[00:06] <adi> later... and thanks LJL
[00:06] <sebjo> jrib: ok. sounds scary.
[00:06] <dave____> it freezes up whenever i do anything with high HD activity like ktorrent
[00:06] <LjL> dave____: i can't make much sense of those errors, but it's pretty common for new HDs to fail
[00:06] <sebjo> jrib: just "kill $pid" ?
[00:06] <dave____> im scared
[00:06] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: I'm not sure if it's required but check your /proc/filesystems to see if fat16 is listed there.
[00:07] <dave____> so i should return it?
[00:07] <Kenthree> Hello, deluge seems to ingore my file selection and downloads even files marked as "Don't download", am i doing something wrong?
[00:07] <BigKahuna> hi there...hopefully someone can help me out with this...About an hour ago I was able to minimize windows to my tray in ubuntu, now I can not.  I didn't manually change any settings.  Any ideas what may have happened?
[00:07] <LjL> dave____: boot from a live CD, and use the "smartmontools" package ("smartctl -H" command) to see if the HD is damaged (if it says it is, then it is, but even if it doesn't detect it, it might still be damaged)
[00:07] <skorasaurus> BlueEagle: pardon ? i dont understand that.
[00:07] <Xsss4hell> When I copy/move files from directory a)(777) into directory b) (755), will the files copied/moved obtain the permissions of directory b) ????
[00:07] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: cat /proc/filesystems |grep fat
[00:07] <jrib> sebjo: 'sudo apache2ctl stop' doesn't work right?
[00:08] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: does that return anything?
[00:08] <dave____> ok will do thanks
[00:08] <skorasaurus> BlueEagle: vfat
[00:08] <dave____> jrib: try "sudo pkill apache"
[00:08] <LjL> dave____: if you aren't sure how to go about checking, you can rejoin this channel from the live cd
[00:08] <Xsss4hell> I mean howto tell that files/folders should obtain it's parent's rights automatically??
[00:08] <skorasaurus> blueeagle, ill pastebin the results of the last fsck
[00:08] <dave____> cool thanks
[00:08] <jrib> dave____: thanks
[00:09] <node357> Xsss4hell, not sure. try copying a test file or directory to see
[00:09] <skorv> how can i run gnome on ubuntu server
[00:09] <Mooloo> is this sane for dual-booting vista/ubuntu: [50G vista primary] [ Ext: [15G ext3 as /] [4G swap] [100G ext3 as /home] ]?
[00:09] <skorasaurus> BlueEagle: http://pastebin.ca/1226346
[00:09] <skorv> (new guy to linux trying a server config = crazy)
[00:09] <sebjo> jrib: no
[00:09] <BigKahuna> hi there...hopefully someone can help me out with this...About an hour ago I was able to minimize windows to my tray in ubuntu, now I can not.  I didn't manually change any settings.  Any ideas what may have happened?
[00:09] <Mooloo> i figure /boot partitions are not in style anymore?
[00:09] <DaskreecH> skorv: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[00:10]  * skorasaurus smirks at foucault's name
[00:10] <jrib> sebjo: k, try 'sudo pkill apache2' as was suggested then
[00:10] <Xsss4hell> node357: copied a textfile with 777 into my pictures dir which is 755... but it stayed 777
[00:10] <Xsss4hell> :(
[00:10] <lineman60> xsss4hell chmod
[00:10] <bobertdos> Mooloo: I'd say that's sane, a bit excessive for a home partition, but sane.
[00:11] <sebjo> jrib: ok. i'm back. thx
[00:11] <sebjo> :)
[00:11] <DaskreecH> jrib: Seems the driver is shot
[00:11] <jrib> DaskreecH: eh?
[00:11] <BlueEagle> Mooloo: The removal of the 1024 cylinder limitation that plagued boot loaders in the past removed the main reason for /boot partitions. However I still think it a good idea to have a boot partion with -noauto mounting to protect your kernel from accidental alterations.
[00:11] <Xsss4hell> lineman60: Isn't there some option to tell childs to get the rights of it's parents?? I don NOT want to chmod every file every time I copy, etc.
[00:11] <DaskreecH> jrib: the Unichrome driver is freezing ubuntu as soon as it boots
[00:12] <DaskreecH> jrib: Seems to be a long standing issue
[00:12] <Xsss4hell> lineman60: like in windows..
[00:12] <lineman60> man chmod
[00:12] <jrib> DaskreecH: not +1-specific?
[00:12] <DaskreecH> jrib: Bug has been open since dapper was +1
[00:13] <BlueEagle> Mooloo: Even so, having a boot partition with -noauto mounting may lead to some confusion when attempting to upgrade the kernel but forgetting to mount /boot first.
[00:13] <Xsss4hell> lineman60: I know what chmod is and howto chmod. But it doesn't make the childs automatically obtain it's parents right :(
[00:13] <DaskreecH> Hmm
[00:13] <Mooloo> hm
[00:13] <foucault> lusers
[00:13] <DaskreecH> I wonder if it's compiz that's kicking it in
[00:13] <DaskreecH> how do I swap back to metacity from CLI ?
[00:13] <lineman60> xsss4hell yes   need to look
[00:13] <squiddy> hi.. do i have to install alsa-firmware from medibuntu repo ? and what is it for ?
[00:14] <break_free> ok, can someone explain to me why my xorg.conf file changed my LCD monitor to a CRT with 1024x768 resolution instead of 1920x1200???? I love linux but seriously what the hell
[00:14] <BlueEagle> Xsss4hell: By default, when creating a file (which is what you're doing when copying a file) the new file gets the same owner as the one invoking the cp command.
[00:15] <skorasaurus> BlueEagle: any comments after looking at my latest pastebin: http://pastebin.ca/1226346
[00:15] <Xsss4hell> BlueEagle: and the same permission 777,775 etc?
[00:15] <aran> hi
[00:15] <lineman60> xss4hell look at umask
[00:16] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: That looks like a successful correction of a filesystem.
[00:16] <skorasaurus> BlueEagle: so, the files should no longer be read only ?
[00:16] <Ademan> dpkg is telling me to run dpkg --configure -a  because it blew up in the middle of an install (monodoc-something-or-other failed to un-gzip) do i *really* have to do dpkg --configure -a ? that seems excessive for the issue at hand... any thoughts/comments?
[00:16] <Xsss4hell> lineman60: chmod can't do that.. gonna man umask
[00:17] <Ademan> wait nevermind i'm stupid
[00:17] <BlueEagle> Xsss4hell: I hope not. ;) I think the default mod is given when mounting the filesystem of the target.
[00:17] <lineman60> Xsss4hell ya did rease what you wanted
[00:17] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: That depends on how you mount the filesystem.

[00:18] <mib_scwp2o> how would i do this for example: $variable = locate *.html , echo HTML UPDATE!! >> $variable in a shell
[00:18] <vmartinez> hello could someone help me, i am not able to update ubuntu 8.10b , and also would like some help in removing edubuntu,  i am a newuser
[00:18] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: that first link I believe discusses setting user masks.
[00:18] <LjL> meoblast001: sometimes the simple things to try are the most effective - i didn't think of that. glad it works anyway
[00:18] <meoblast001> LjL: thank you for the help
[00:18] <airtonix> why isnt the new vlc avaiable from : http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
[00:18] <airtonix> available*
[00:19] <hiredgoon> what does it take to get a built version of vmware server in the partner repo?
[00:19] <adi> hi
[00:20] <thiebaude> vmartinez:sudo apt-get update-manager -d
[00:20] <omega_> hola
[00:20] <mib_scwp2o> how would i do this for example: $variable = locate *.html , echo HTML UPDATE!! >> $variable
[00:20] <mib_scwp2o> how would i do this for example: $variable = locate *.html , echo HTML UPDATE!! >> $variable
[00:20] <mib_scwp2o> how would i do this for example: $variable = locate *.html , echo HTML UPDATE!! >> $variable
[00:20] <Jaza> I have a question why doesn't ubuntu let me connect to my Vista network?
[00:20] <FloodBot3> mib_scwp2o: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:20] <Jaza> I tried everything
[00:20] <omega_> hola
[00:20] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: If you look at the section where <option> is explained you will see there how adding a fmask and dmask will help making the files readable (and writable) by non-root users.
[00:20] <omega_> alguno de argentina?
[00:20] <LjL> !es | omega_
[00:20] <adi> LjL | i did it and now how can I test that every thing is ok
[00:20] <chun_> jh
[00:20] <airtonix> http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html : only has instructions for version 0.84
[00:21] <LjL> adi: type "sudo true" again and see if it complains.
[00:21] <skorasaurus> blueeagle: thanks.
[00:21] <chun_> what
[00:21] <adi> ok
[00:21] <Werdna> true?
[00:21] <BlueEagle> skorasaurus: You're welcome
[00:21] <thiebaude> vmartinez:in synaptic remove the edubuntu packages
[00:21] <LjL> chun_: hi, this is the Ubuntu support channel.
[00:21]  * skorasaurus looks at the link.
[00:21] <BlueEagle> Werdna: man true
[00:21] <adi> adi@ubuntu:~$ sudo true
[00:21] <adi> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0755, should be 0440
[00:21]  * Werdna giggles.
[00:21] <adi> what does that mean?
[00:21] <Werdna> you're stuffed, unless you set a root password.
[00:21] <BlueEagle> adi: sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers
[00:22] <adi> ok
[00:22] <Werdna> BlueEagle: duhhhh, sudo doesn't work, so he can't use sudo.
[00:22] <sebjo> exit
[00:22] <DaskreecH> BlueEagle: He can't sudo
[00:22] <Werdna> adi: do you have a root password?
[00:22] <adi> ok i did it
[00:22] <BlueEagle> Duh.. I thought that was just a warning.
[00:22] <BlueEagle> :/
[00:22] <adi> yes
[00:22] <LjL> i'm not so sure he can't sudo, i think that's a warning.
[00:22] <DaskreecH> adi: reboot to recovery mode and run chmod 440 /etc/sudoers and you should be all right
[00:22] <LjL> BlueEagle: and you were right, too.
[00:22] <BlueEagle> LjL: Thank you.
[00:23] <DaskreecH> LjL: He can't
[00:23] <LjL> adi: what does "sudo true" say now?
[00:23] <Jaza> I can't get on my windows network from my ubuntu PC can anyone help?
[00:23] <DaskreecH> LjL: Where did he (assuming that adi is a he) get the sudoers file from ?
[00:23] <BlueEagle> !samba | Jaza
[00:23] <Werdna> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-422515.html
[00:23] <adi> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0755, should be 0440
[00:23] <LjL> DaskreecH: he had a copy in $HOME (for some reason)
[00:23] <DaskreecH> ah
[00:23] <DaskreecH> ok
[00:23] <DaskreecH> should be fine after that then
[00:23] <LjL> adi: then do as DaskreecH said
[00:24] <LjL> BlueEagle: (so no, you were not right after all ;)
[00:24] <dimm> my english is very slow, but may be recovery mode is help for edit sudoers?
[00:24] <adi> ok :)
[00:24] <LjL> dimm: yes
[00:24] <BlueEagle> adi: The solution is to boot back into recoverymode (you're right dimm) and do the chmod from there.
[00:25] <DaskreecH> dimm: recovery mode is a way to fix any errors past a kernel problem
[00:25] <Jaza> I'm using samba and have it installed, when I go to network places I can see my windows shared folders.  However, it asks me for a password which I don't have for that network.
[00:25] <ubuntu_> ok so its me again from the live cd using smart tools
[00:25] <ubuntu_> and i got the error
[00:25] <ubuntu_> # 1  Extended offline    Completed: read failure       90%<PHONE_NUMBER>97
[00:25] <LjL> ubuntu_: use the pastebin if it's longer than one line please
[00:25] <ubuntu_> # 2  Conveyance offline  Completed: read failure       90%<PHONE_NUMBER>97
[00:25] <adi> ok i just write the command in paper :9
[00:25] <ubuntu_> just those two that look important
[00:25] <LjL> ubuntu_: that looks like a failure
[00:25] <adi> now i will reboot
[00:26] <LjL> ubuntu_: still anyway, pastebin the complete output of "sudo smartctl -H /dev/whatever ; sudo smartctl -A /dev/whatever"
[00:26] <Jaza> I try hitting the enter without the password but I get a message stating that the folder cannot be mounted?
[00:26] <ubuntu_> ok
[00:26] <Jaza> any suggestions?
[00:26] <LjL> ubuntu_: do you have important data on that drive anyway?
[00:26] <brisingrkid> unrar
[00:26] <brisingrkid> #unrar
[00:27] <alphamale2> I have my box connected to my internet. and a static ip setup and it does ping but it wont apt update   any idea?  it wont connect or anything
[00:27] <LjL> brisingrkid: ?
[00:27] <BlueEagle> Jaza: So the share is not password protected?
[00:27] <LjL> alphamale2: do other things (like, browsers) work?
[00:27] <brisingrkid> sorry guys wrong server
[00:27] <alphamale2> LjL yes i firefoxed to the external ip and it goes right to it
[00:27] <alphamale2> <IP_ADDRESS> <
[00:27] <Jaza> no it's not, but it still asks me for a password
[00:28] <LjL> alphamale2: does it work also if you use a hostname instead of an IP?
[00:28] <Flare183> !who | Jaza
[00:28] <alphamale2> LjL let me check
[00:28] <DrX> anyone know why mount -t cifs //<remotePC>/<remoteWindowsShare> /mnt/mountpoint is asking for a password (none defined in Windows) and how to get around it?
[00:28] <Jaza> BlueEagle:  no it's not, but it still asks me for a password
[00:28] <dimm> DrX, try qwerty
[00:28] <alphamale2> LjL im not sure. i did a browser test and it went to wikipedia
[00:29] <LjL> alphamale2: what do you mean a browser test?
[00:29] <BlueEagle> Jaza: Is the username you use in linux a valid username in windows by any chance?
[00:29] <DrX> dimm: as a password, it didn't work (I assume u d/n mean a qwerty kb)
[00:29] <thiebaude> alphamale2:did firefox open up
[00:29] <alphamale2> LjL i did webserver into the url
[00:29] <thiebaude> did
[00:29] <thiebaude> ok
[00:30] <ubuntu_> ok its
[00:30] <ubuntu_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/57189/
[00:30] <LjL> alphamale2: err, sorry i still don't get you. just type www.google.com into the URL bar
[00:30] <Jaza>  BlueEagle: Not sure, I have the same username for both as far as can tell.
[00:30] <alphamale2> LjL ok
[00:30] <DrX> dimm: i also gave everyone FC on share & NTFS permissions, not sure what gives
[00:30] <BlueEagle> Jaza: Does that windows user account have a password defined?
[00:31] <DrX> BlueEagle: Yes, I tried it, and it didn't work
[00:31] <LjL> ubuntu_: ok, it still hasn't "failed" according to the threshold, but i'm pretty convinced it's about to fail - or has had a bad shock, anyway. since it's a week old, i'd just return it under warranty without thinking twice about it.
[00:31] <BlueEagle> DrX: I am sorry, but I haven't gotten to your problem yet. ;)
[00:31] <alphamale2> LjL how will this help me with it not being able to download packages?
[00:31] <ubuntu_> ljl good call
[00:31] <ubuntu_> thanks
[00:31] <LjL> alphamale2: it won't, but i need to know whether it's an APT specific problem, a DNS problem, or what
[00:31] <Jaza> BlueEagle: not there is no password for that username in windows, that's why I don't understand why it asks me for one.
[00:32] <DrX> BlueEagle: I reset the password & the error code changed from 13 to 5
[00:32] <ubuntu_> so what do you reccommend for linux as an IDE ? (250+ gb)
[00:32] <alphamale2> LjL ok what do you want me to test
[00:32] <ubuntu_> this was a WD eide caviar
[00:32] <Thorsten11> has anyone here put ubuntu on there mac? if so, was it with boot camp? or is virtualization the easiest route
[00:32] <adi> LjL | here is my sudoers content: http://paste.ubuntu.com/57190/
[00:32] <LjL> alphamale2: just if typing "www.google.com" into the URL bar results in google loading up, or not.
[00:32] <alphamale2> LjL yes it loaded
[00:32] <BlueEagle> Jaza: Well the reason for it failing may (and I cannot overemphasize MAY) be the crulpit here. What I suggest you do is to define a password for that user on your windows box and then try again.
[00:32] <thiebaude> alphamale2:and you tried a sudo apt-get?
[00:32] <chris4585> what command will set every file/folder and sub folder as root permission?
[00:33] <LjL> adi: you don't need to have "adi" in sudoers. "adi" should be an "admin", so just use the "admin" line.
[00:33] <adi> all I wanted to do was to be able to axess synaptic and other apps without typing pass all time
[00:33] <LjL> alphamale2: ok, do "echo $http_proxy $HTTP_PROXY" in a terminal, does that show anything?
[00:33] <alphamale2> LjL i did a ping google.com on the server and its not pinging
[00:33] <LjL> alphamale2: oh
[00:33] <adi> that is why i changed root with adi
[00:33] <Jaza> BlueEagle: thanks, I'll try that.
[00:33] <LjL> adi: terrible idea.
[00:33] <jrib> Thorsten11: either works fine.  You can use bootcamp (or refit) if you want to install ubuntu to a partition.  Or just use virtualization if you don't want ubuntu installed to its own partition
[00:33] <adi> really?
[00:33] <thiebaude> !root
[00:33] <adi> im the only one who use this pc
[00:34] <adi> no one else use this
[00:34] <LjL> adi: yes. now edit it with "sudo visudo", put back "root", remove the "NOPASSWD", and if you really want to have it, put it in %admin
[00:34] <alphamale2> ljl, but i can ping the external ip and the internal and get to the box via the external it doesnt make sense
[00:34] <adi> i got bored to type pass for everything
[00:34] <dimm> DrX, i try now 'smbclient -L <IP_ADDRESS>'  he asked me for password, i just push enter, and see on share's on windows machine. But i can't use mount -t cifs. may be we use smbmount?
[00:34] <LjL> adi: that's a terrible idea nonetheless, you shouldn't change sudoers like that.
[00:34] <BlueEagle> DrX: That last advice I gave Jaza may be applicable to your problem aswell, however since you're doing a mount it may not work for you even if it works for Jaza.
[00:34] <LjL> alphamale2: it would make sense if your DNS weren't working
[00:34] <adi> mmmm ok
[00:34] <dimm> DrX, *may be we must use smbmount?
[00:34] <LjL> alphamale2: IPs would work, but hostname would not (and APT uses hostnames)
[00:34] <DrX> BlueEagle:
[00:35] <LjL> alphamale2: but then that's weird, since you can go to the site on a browser...
[00:35] <adi> but is ther a good idea to make my os not asking for pass everytime i launch synaptic
[00:35] <adi> or do admin tasks
[00:35] <LjL> adi: look, join #ubuntu-it
[00:35] <DrX> BlueEagle: here's how I resolved it:  i had changed the password to <null> (that threw an error 5) so i changed it to <somethingNotNull> and it worked
[00:35] <bunnyto> how to install windows 2009 on Ubuntu?
[00:35] <Thorsten11> jrib: thanks, i'm still debating but i think i'll go virtualization. I guess the next question would be, paralells or vmware?
[00:35] <supertanker> What's the best way to set up a server for local storage on my network? Like, where I can just dump files I don't want to keep on my desktop?
[00:35] <alphamale2> ljlm the sever will ping the router as well
[00:35] <adi> why .it?
[00:36] <DrX> BlueEagle: copying via a mount faster than copying with Nautilus?
[00:36] <BlueEagle> DrX: ...and that is the advice I gave Jaza so you're good. :)
[00:36] <alphamale2> ljl**
[00:36] <lineman60> supertanker windwos desktop or linux
[00:36] <jrib> Thorsten11: I used virtualbox
[00:36] <dimm> adi, "dimm ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" in /etc/sudoers is available me do not enter password where i use sudo with any command
[00:36] <LjL> adi: because from your hostname, i'm assuming you're italian
[00:36] <LjL> alphamale2: but that's still by IP
[00:36] <LjL> alphamale2: try "ping archive.ubuntu.com"
[00:36] <adi> im in turin italy but im not italian ...
[00:37] <tj83> supertanker, samba would work.. but is a pain to set up.. I prefer the use of FTP... as I can use it remotely as needed
[00:37] <LjL> adi: nevermind then
[00:37] <eavatar> I need some aid here
[00:37] <alphamale2> ljl, wont ping
[00:37] <LjL> adi: anyway, i'm not saying you must not do that. i'm only saying you're doing it in the wrong way.
[00:37] <adi> so to that what should I do?
[00:37] <LjL> alphamale2: then it's a dns problem
[00:37] <smil3y> supertanker>  ive been using freenas, but you can do the same with ubuntu just have to do all the configuring yourself
[00:37] <LjL> alphamale2: what do you have in /etc/resolv.conf ?
[00:37] <lineman60> supertanker if your computers are windwos then Samba, if they were linux then nfs, and if you realzy use Winscp with ssh indbaled in ubnutu
[00:37] <LjL> adi: i'll pastebin a decent sudoers for you to use
[00:38] <adi> many many thanks
[00:38] <alphamale2> weird.
[00:38] <adi> :)
[00:38] <eavatar> I just installed Kubuntu on my machine and after the installation grub don't found my windows partition
[00:38] <alphamale2> search clubmckinley.tk and nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:38] <tj83> !ask | eavatar
[00:38] <skorv> any idea how to get num lock on at boot in ubuntu server?
[00:38] <supertanker> lineman60: What's NFS?
[00:38] <supertanker> I am familar with Samba, (Kind of) but not NFS.
[00:38] <jamesish1> skorv: it's normally a bios setting.
[00:38] <Thorsten11> jrib: is virtualbox an alright option for a newbie?
[00:38] <lineman60> think if it as a network share for linux
[00:38] <balrog_> im trying to get xrandr working, and "xrandr -q" gives me an error (http://paste.ubuntu.com/57194/) <-- my xorg.conf is appended   help?
[00:38] <jrib> Thorsten11: yep, easy as pie with a nice gui
[00:39] <tj83> Thorsten11, vbox is great for newb/pro alike
[00:39] <Thorsten11> jrib: sweet, thanks:)
[00:39] <balrog_> Thorsten11: yes.  virtualbox is very good
[00:39] <ng0n> vbox ?
[00:39] <lineman60> subertanker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System_(protocol)
[00:39] <thiebaude> !vbox
[00:39] <Thorsten11> i'm gonna give it a try right now:)
[00:39] <alphamale2> how do i restart networking
[00:39] <DrX> BlueEagle: odd... Windows isn't showing anything in the folder (even with refresh), but from the Linux side it does
[00:40] <LjL> adi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/57196/
[00:40] <adi> ok thanks :)
[00:40] <tj83> alphamale2, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[00:40] <LjL> alphamale2: well, are you sure your router (<IP_ADDRESS>) does act as a nameserver?
[00:40] <rampageoberon> Hi, just wondering is there any tool to link a pidgin session to a finch session?
[00:40] <alphamale2> ljl, yes
[00:41] <Lykkefeen> LjL: Hi again, I did the memtest with 3 passes and no errors - is there any tool on the live CD which I can use to restore my /var/apt/-folder?
[00:41] <beautifulsnow> Hello, how do I check what versions of the linux kernel I have installed? (not the one I'm currently using)  thanks in advance  :3
[00:41] <alphamale2> ljl, or it used too
[00:41] <DrX> BlueEagle: and, Windows shows no space is being consumed on the windows drive
[00:41] <BlueEagle> DrX: Well.. windows is... windows I guess.
[00:41] <LjL> Lykkefeen, have you forgot about smartmontools? i said to check the memory, but i also said i thought an HD problem more likely
[00:41] <alphamale2> ljl, im going to change that to my real name server by mediacom
[00:41] <LjL> alphamale2: well try "nslookup archive.ubuntu.com <IP_ADDRESS>"
[00:41] <jrib> beautifulsnow: aptitude search '~i~nlinux-image'
[00:42] <DrX> BlueEagle: how can i be sure the files are being copied to the windows share and not somewhere else on the Linux box?
[00:42] <Lykkefeen> LjL: sorry yes I forgot that name in the rush, I'll try that!
[00:42] <beautifulsnow> :D thanks
[00:42] <BlueEagle> DrX: In any case fixing windows file sharing on windows clients and servers is out of the scope of this channel. (and thank <insert_diety> for that)
[00:42] <alphamale2> ljl, actuly changing the value worked
[00:42] <LjL> Lykkefeen: remember you can join this channel while on the live cd
[00:42] <smil3y> beautifulsnow>  take a look at /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:42] <LjL> alphamale2: then the problem is with your router
[00:42] <BlueEagle> DrX: `mount` will list mount points.
[00:43] <LjL> alphamale2: the changed value probably won't stay, though. /etc/resolv.conf is now auto-updated by some program (resolvconf, or network-manager), something i'm not very familiar with
[00:43] <alphamale2> ljl, affirm  that command you gave wont ping
[00:43] <BlueEagle> DrX: Also be aware that there might be caching going on so that even after a copy appears to have completed the file may not have been written to the server disk yet.
[00:43] <kapipi> すみませんが、日本語のチャンネルありますか？
[00:43] <alphamale2> ljl, how do i make it permenant
[00:43] <alphamale2> i got 8.04
[00:43] <LjL> !jp | kapipi
[00:43] <kapipi> ありがとう
[00:44] <Guest55151> Hello.
[00:44] <LjL> alphamale2: i'm not very sure honestly, i removed both network-manager and resolvconf because i hated them...
[00:44] <kapipi> LjL thank you
[00:44] <adi> LjL I have a prob..
[00:44] <DrX> BlueEagle: well, it shows //<ipOfWindowsPc>/<sharename> on /mnt/mountpoint, and it shows a file I created with vi from the Linux box on the Windows box, but no cp file... how much could it possibly cache?
[00:44] <alphamale2> ljl, do i neev ether of them? im going to be always static. and im not running any hosting
[00:44] <Guest55151> clear
[00:44] <adi> i still can't be root#
[00:45] <DrX> BlueEagle: and, can I restart a nautilus copy that failed without recopying the existing data?
[00:45] <Pici> alphamale2: look at /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf for the 'prepend domain-name-servers' line.  Uncomment and modify as necessary.
[00:45] <Lykkefeen> LjL: unfortunenately, my wireless network card is not recognised by ubuntu and I use ndiswrapper so I don't think I'll be able to go online using the live CD.. But do you know how I can install the smartmontool - regarding to dependencies and other issues? Or is it on the liveCD?
[00:45] <LjL> kapipi: どういたしまして。
[00:45] <BlueEagle> DrX: I would assume that any such cache would be 4k or somesuch.
[00:45] <alphamale2> Pici: ok
[00:45] <adi> to give sudo visudo and paste the content of the file you pastebin it
[00:45] <tj83> Lykkefeen, what card do you have? not realtek by chance?
[00:45] <Guest55151> I would like to know, is there an Ubuntu Server Edition live cd? I downloaded the ISO, but you have install it.
[00:45] <LjL> Lykkefeen: uhm, that could be a problem, i don't know if it's on the live cd
[00:46] <adi> adi@ubuntu:~$ sudo true
[00:46] <adi> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0755, should be 0440
[00:46] <LjL> Guest55151: no, because the server edition doesn't have a GUI, so it would probably be a little pointless
[00:46] <LjL> adi, yes, you do still need to go to recovery mode and chmod that.
[00:46] <Lykkefeen> tj83: D-link DWA 645 using Atheros chipset :)
[00:46] <Guest55151> oh okay
[00:46] <adi> but i did that
[00:46] <LjL> adi:  chmod 440 /etc/sudoers
[00:46] <LjL> adi: well, it doesn't seem like it worked, though
[00:46] <adi> yes
[00:46] <tj83> Lykkefeen, ok, cant help with that...sorry
[00:46] <LjL> adi: do "ls -l /etc/sudoers"
[00:46] <DrX> BlueEagle:  y, the linux box doesn't show anything either, and I created another file with vi and it's there
[00:47] <adi> ok
[00:47] <DrX> BlueEagle: and Windows shows both vi files but not the cp files
[00:47] <adi> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 561 2008-10-14 01:16 /etc/sudoers
[00:47] <LjL> Lykkefeen: no way you could connect to a wired ethernet?
[00:47] <BlueEagle> DrX: Does it show the copied files if you unmount the share?
[00:48] <LjL> adi: well, then you didn't do the chmod correctly. go to recovery mode again, and type this exactly:  chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers
[00:48] <thiebaude> guest55151:you can request a server cd
[00:48] <adi> ok I'll try again..
[00:48] <BlueEagle> LjL: Are we sure his /etc/ is mounted?
[00:48] <Lykkefeen> LjL: Not really :( Uni halls with only wireless net... But can't I just download some packages and install them in another way than apt-get install? Or is dependincies the problem? Or is it just my corrupted apt-get that destroys everything?
[00:49] <adi> ah its without sudo at the beginin?
[00:49] <adi> I put sudo chmod
[00:49] <DrX> BlueEagle: no
[00:49] <LjL> BlueEagle: uh, i suppose so, /etc is not usually a separate partition
[00:49] <LjL> adi, when you're in recovery mode, you're root. so no, no sudo.
[00:49] <LjL> but you need to be in recovery mode.
[00:49] <epic_fi> what happened to the forums?
[00:49] <adi> ah ok i see
[00:49] <LjL> Lykkefeen: you can try
[00:49] <LjL> !offline | Lykkefeen
[00:49] <BlueEagle> DrX: then I don't know why that is.
[00:49] <adi> later...
[00:49] <suffer_-well> hey guys this thing changed in my menu list after i downloaded like 500 updates and the on-off icon in the upper right hand corner changed to a man running and the help icon turned into a lifesaver. how can i get back to that?
[00:50] <Atomic_UE> anyone know of an app to edit iso files?
[00:50] <tj83> suffer_-well, sounds like your now running ubuntu 8.10 instead of 8.04..
[00:50] <Lykkefeen> LjL: good idea, I've got another ubuntu machine I can get to fix the packages..
[00:51] <suffer_-well> tj83 is that a beta version
[00:51] <tj83> its is suffer_-well
[00:51] <epic_fi> Atomic_UE, you can extract ISOs with archive manager
[00:51] <DrX> BlueEagle: I'll figure it out, thanks 4 the help!
[00:51] <suffer_-well> is it really quirky tj83
[00:51] <bunnyto> apt-get install windows98  - doesnt work, HELP
[00:51] <Atomic_UE> epic_fi, looking for something to modify an iso. add/remove files form it
[00:51] <thiebaude> so far everything works for me in 8.10
[00:52] <tj83> suffer_-well, well.... its release is on oct30th so dont expect much to change... i tried it... and have it on dual boot for testing.. but i am keeping 8.04 for now
[00:52] <chris4585> call me noob but.. ` chmod -R u+rw--g+r--o+r xdg/" will set that dir and every dir and file, as user read write, group read only and other read only, correct?
[00:52] <epic_fi> Atomic_UE, there is a prog... I'm trying to think of it... I used it a bunch last year
[00:52] <thiebaude> !ibex
[00:52] <Sergeant_Pony> anyone using firefox 3 and java?
[00:52] <BlueEagle> Atomic_UE: You can mont an iso-file as a regular device.
[00:52] <thiebaude> Sergeant_pony:i'am
[00:52] <suffer_-well> tj83 what do you mean dont expect much to change?
[00:52] <BlueEagle> Atomic_UE: mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /path/to/mountpoint
[00:52] <bunnyto> Sergeant_Pony: 100% of ubuntu users does
[00:52] <BlueEagle> Atomic_UE: you may need to specify the file system.
[00:52] <dudus> chris4585: try chmod -R 644 folder
[00:53] <chris4585> dudus, will that do what I want?
[00:53] <Atomic_UE> BlueEagle, i'm looking for something to modify the iso image
[00:53] <LjL> Lykkefeen: anyway, if/when you manage to install smartmontools, then the commands to use are "sudo smartctl -H /dev/yourdrive" (to get the general health status of your drive) and "sudo smartctl -A /dev/yourdrive" (to get more in-detail info, a bit hard to interpret)
[00:53] <tj83> suffer_-well, you said "quirky" i expect it will still be "quirky" for a bit of time to come :)
[00:53] <Sergeant_Pony> I have this one website that tells me I don't have it... not sure where to start
[00:53] <PoisonArrow> What can I download to stream movies in FireFox?
[00:53] <dudus> yeah but the permissions for files have a different meaning than the permissions for folder
[00:53] <suffer_-well> is it quirky for you?
[00:54] <adi> ok LJL now it works
[00:54] <adi> :)
[00:54] <suffer_-well> tj83 is it quirky for you
[00:54] <dudus> on folders -r mean list the dir contants and -x means user can cd to the dir
[00:54] <epic_fi> Atomic_UE, http://ubuntufriends.wordpress.com/2007/03/31/edit-and-create-your-bootable-iso-image-the-easy-way/
[00:54] <thiebaude> !mplayer
[00:54] <epic_fi> Atomic_UE, copy and paste that into Firefox
[00:54] <PoisonArrow> thanks
[00:54] <epic_fi> Atomic_UE, it's exactly it
[00:54] <adi> but I still have to cp/paste that sudoers file you pastebin
[00:54] <adi> right?
[00:54] <epic_fi> Atomic_UE, also, you can search for isoMaster in synaptic
[00:55] <lineman60> I installed from usb drive, and i think i managed to get grub installed on my usb drive anyidea how to get it installed on the Harddrive (set it up with /boot)
[00:55] <chris4585> dudus, ok
[00:55] <Atomic_UE> epic_fi, excellent. exactly what i want. cheers
[00:55] <epic_fi> Atomic_UE, :)
[00:55] <suffer_-well> tj 83?
[00:55] <suffer_-well> tj83?
[00:55] <lampliter> can ubuntu boot off of a raid if /boot is on raid1 and / is raid5?
[00:55] <tj83> suffer_-well, i have several issues with 8.10... but its hardware specific
[00:56] <lineman60> lampliter yes
[00:56] <lineman60> you may want to look at LVM
[00:56] <lineman60> s
[00:56] <suffer_-well> i think ill wait till october 30th
[00:56] <Sergeant_Pony> thiebaude, bunnyto, so where do I start? the site say's I don't have it nut package manager say's I do... I think.

[00:58] <adi> adi is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[00:58] <BlueEagle> Atomic_UE: Sorry, I thought it would be mountable as read/write when it was a file. My bad.
[00:58] <beautifulsnow> Uhoh youre in deep troulbe
[00:58] <tj83> adi i think i missed your issue.. perhaps i cant help at all.. but do you mind re-stating your issue?
[00:59] <Atomic_UE> BlueEagle, i've always thought that'd be real cool, and have been waiting for that for yrs and yrs
[00:59] <lampliter> lineman60: I have a setup with 4 drives, all allocate to raid5 (no spares) /boot was raid 1 256mb, / was 30gb raid5, and /attic, raid5  1.7tb. all the the raid 5 was on lvm.  on install, it failed to write the base software to the raid.
[00:59] <adi> now shoul be able to open the sudoers file to paste the content that LjL pastebin to me
[01:00] <LjL> adi: when you type "groups", is there "admin" in the output?
[01:00] <chris4585> so dudus chmod -R 644 makes everything readable?
[01:00] <lampliter> lineman60: I figured there was something wrong with my config
[01:00] <adi> groups from terminal?
[01:01] <adi> it says "root"
[01:01] <lineman60> dont know, know its possable, I Hate software raids
[01:01] <lineman60> Hardware all the way (makes life a LOT easer
[01:01] <lineman60> )
[01:01] <adi> not "admin"
[01:01] <tj83> adi sounds like you really borked out user lol
[01:02] <jamesish1> I bet he's using debian or something, I mean, this is astonishingly abnormal.
[01:02] <mgroman> LOL
[01:02] <lampliter> lineman60: it's a mini-itx.  no room for hw raid (which I don't trust anyway)
[01:02] <adi> if I type it now as normal user it says :root@ubuntu:~# sudo visudo /etc/sudoers
[01:02] <adi> adi is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.

[01:04] <Azhi_Dahaka> Damn...
[01:04] <Azhi_Dahaka> The forums are down

[01:05] <LepusQuan> I just installed the 64bit version of Ubuntu on a macbook pro and now I cannot boot into linux because when I hold down the alt key to select which operating system to boot from it only displays the Mac OS.
[01:05] <Azhi_Dahaka> I wanted to know where can i get some insight about configuring my built-in Digital Media Reader
[01:05] <pookmu> someone told me here, I forgot :(
[01:05] <adi> than my pass
[01:06] <LjL> adi: err... ok. why?
[01:06] <lineman60> beautifulsnow just change the order
[01:06] <lineman60> sorry miss read it
[01:06] <adi> than i did as normal user "groups"
[01:06] <beautifulsnow> lineman60,  hey thats an idea :P thanks
[01:06] <Lykkefeen> How do I install a .deb package without apt-get install?
[01:06] <adi> and the output was:adi adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin
[01:06] <jrib> !deb | Lykkefeen
[01:07] <adi> but when i type sudo visudo /etc/sudoers
[01:07] <adi> as root
[01:07] <LjL> adi: i don't think i told you to type that as root. i don't think i even told you to *go* into a root shell, to begin with.
[01:07] <tutuca> hello
[01:07] <J-Dog> does anybody know how to make a bootable USB thumb drive with ubuntu?
[01:07] <FFEMTcJ> What is the "Visual assistance" in the startup programs? something i need to keep or no? im trying to make my ubuntu as slim as possible because im on an old laptop
[01:08] <adi> look now: adi@ubuntu:~$ sudo visudo /etc/sudoers
[01:08] <adi> usage: visudo [-c] [-q] [-s] [-V] [-f sudoers]
[01:08] <hubar> Anyone using eeepc?
[01:08] <histo> J-Dog: i believe there are instructions in the wiki
[01:08] <J-Dog> oh cool
[01:08] <histo> !usb > J-Dog
[01:08] <LjL> adi: right, because the command is just "sudo visudo"
[01:08] <adi> one more thing
[01:08] <tutuca> is there any woraround for copying files with unicode caracters to NTFS?
[01:08] <usser> J-Dog, you will need unetbootin and ubuntu live cd iso
[01:08] <tutuca> I'm not able to do that
[01:08] <Lykkefeen> LjL: When I try to install the .deb file by just doubleclicking on it, the program freezes... Is there any other way to install it without using a live CD?
[01:08] <alphamale2> Anyone else get "It Works" when visiting http://clubmckinley.tk/
[01:08] <adi> from nautilus i can see sudoers file and have a X symbol now
[01:09] <usser> J-Dog, unetbootin is pretty intuitive so you should have no problem
[01:09] <jrib> alphamale2: no
[01:09] <histo> Lykkefeen: you can use the commmand line just use gdebi
[01:09] <adi> and can't edit now is blocked.
[01:09] <alphamale2> jrib, directory listing?
[01:09] <LjL> Lykkefeen: no, you'll really need to use a live CD since your current system is so broken. but you can transfer the .deb and its dependencies to a USB key or something, and then use that in the live CD
[01:09] <hausha> I try to record from webcam through ffmpeg. Do I need to download v4l (video4linux) to get this to work? Device is visible and present on the system, but some errors appear.
[01:09] <jrib> alphamale2: with desktop.ini in it, yeah
[01:09] <Ashex> Is there an issue with the repositories?
[01:09] <bunnyto> alphamale2: i can see your /bin directory...
[01:09] <adi> ok il try
[01:09] <jrib> Ashex: are you having an issue with the repositories?
[01:09] <Ashex> for some reason apt-get update throws errors about http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/
[01:09] <histo> hausha: you shouldn't have to if the device is present you can even try something like cat /dev/whatever > test.mpg
[01:10] <LjL> Ashex: pastebin the errors.
[01:10] <histo> hausha: if you were running through an mpeg encoder.
[01:10] <hausha> histo, cool I'll try that
[01:10] <alphamale2> bunnyto, your joking right
[01:10] <tutuca> would it be better to use a ext3 driver in windows than to use ntfs3g on ubuntu?
[01:10] <adi> ok im in the sudoers file from terminal as normal user
[01:10] <histo> hausha: you would have to ctrl +c to stop the recording then try playing it.
[01:10] <bunnyto> alphamale2: im taking the liberty of customize your system
[01:10] <lacqui> tutuca: do you really want windows playing around with your linux files?
[01:10] <histo> hausha: but ffmpeg should be able to capture the video aslo
[01:10] <adi> how to paste the content of the file you pastebin to me
[01:10] <adi> ?
[01:10] <alphamale2> bunnyto, yeah your joking
[01:10] <jrib> tutuca: with ext3 you can set permissions
[01:11] <Maligne> Hi all.
[01:11] <tutuca> lacqui: I need to copy files to ntfs
[01:11] <Maligne> Upon upgrading to Intrepid's kernel (from Gutsy), I get this error: E: Couldn't configure pre-depend libc6 for findutils, probably a dependency cycle.
[01:11] <Ashex> LjL: http://pastebin.ca/1226391
[01:11] <hausha> histo, yep. Sems the system has some issues with permissions... I'm trying the cat command as root, but it gives me perm denied
[01:11] <sugi> how do i uninstall compiz manager on hardy?
[01:11] <tutuca> lacqui: and i can't copy files with unicode strings
[01:11] <Ashex> I can open up http://us.archive.ubuntu.com in my browser just fine
[01:11] <hausha> histo, maybe that's why ffmpeg just halts the operation.
[01:11] <histo> hausha: could be.
[01:11] <pookmu> When I use Totem or VLC it breaks sound in FF3 I need to do an apt-get for a file libsomething.
[01:11] <histo> hausha: maybe your user needs to be added to the video group
[01:11] <jrib> Maligne: "upgrading to Intrepid's kernel (from Gutsy)" there's your problem
[01:11] <corntastic> so I'm about to download the newest ubuntu for 64 bit. the last time I did 64 ubuntu on my intel (v 7.1) it didnt work
[01:11] <tj83> sugi, sudo apt-get remove compizconfig-settings-manager
[01:12] <lacqui> tutuca: if you're trying to read-only from NTFS, go with the NTFS driver in linux
[01:12] <Maligne> jrib, then what do you suggest? I want the latest kernel.
[01:12] <tutuca> lacqui: is the other way around
[01:12] <jrib> Maligne: wait until october 30th
[01:12] <tutuca> lacqui: I need to copy TO ntfs
[01:12] <jrib> Maligne: then upgrade to intrepid
[01:12] <sugi> tj83: THANK you sir
[01:12] <hausha> histo, yes
[01:12] <lacqui> tutuca: oh, i've never tried it that way.
[01:12] <Maligne> jrib, ok. :)
[01:12] <LjL> adi: for this one time, just paste it by using "gksudo gedit /etc/sudoers" instead of visudo, that will be easier and should be relatively safe.
[01:12] <corntastic> so will 64 bit ubuntu work on my 64 bit intel?
[01:13] <tutuca> lacqui: and so far i'm loosing half of my file, cos I'm spanish and have lots of á's and é¿s and ñ
[01:13] <LjL> adi: (exit visudo by doing :q! )
[01:13] <tutuca> lacqui: ok, thans anyway
[01:13] <Ashex> LjL: you want a copy of my sources?
[01:13] <lacqui> tutuca: I've never worked with the NTFS read-write driver, or with EXT3 in Windows
[01:13] <adi> ok
[01:13] <lacqui> tutuca: what are you using right now?
[01:13] <FFEMTcJ> What is the "Visual assistance" in the startup programs? something i need to keep or no? im trying to make my ubuntu as slim as possible because im on an old laptop.. also does anyone have any suggestions on things to slim it down
[01:13] <tutuca> lacqui: ubuntu
[01:13] <LjL> Ashex: no, i don't think your sources.list is the problem, since it's failing with several very different repositories
[01:14] <LjL> Ashex: it looks perhaps more like your router (or modem, or something) can only handle a very limited number of connections, and APT is trying to do more...
[01:14] <tj83> FFEMTcJ, not sure about that.. but its been said that xbuntu is lighter than ubuntu
[01:14] <corntastic> no love... [20:12] <corntastic> so will 64 bit ubuntu work on my 64 bit intel?
[01:14] <LjL> Ashex: does your internet work ok overall?
[01:14] <Ashex> LjL: that's odd. I'm at campus right now. I've been able to do updates on their network in the past
[01:15] <barbuj> hello everyone
[01:15] <Ashex> LjL: yeah, no issues with it at the moment
[01:15] <LjL> Ashex: try commenting all repositories out in sources.list and only leaving one or two uncommented, and see if that works
[01:15] <tutuca> lacqui: I think I'll just copy over the network, I would loose time but not files
[01:15] <tutuca> thanks anyway
[01:15] <tj83> corntastic, yes... it sould work fine
[01:15] <Krampus> does anyone know how to make use of a split debug symbols file with a profiler?  NM keeps kickin back that the program has no symbols.
[01:16] <barbuj> i don't know if this is the right place for this question, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction: i am trying to write a shell script and am having a hard time with a few things... does anyone know of a good tutorial on bash scripting?
[01:16] <corntastic> ok thanks
[01:16] <BlueEagle> barbuj: #bash might be a better place to ask. :)
[01:16] <barbuj> BlueEagle: 10q :)
[01:17] <Ashex> LjL: no luck :/
[01:17] <adub_> how can i disable a wireless adapter or a network adapter
[01:17] <Ashex> LjL: updates are through regular http:80, right?
[01:17] <lacqui> adub_: ifconfig eth0 down?
[01:17] <bunnyto> adub_: ifconfig eth0 down
[01:17] <adi> i used the gksudo gedit /etc/sudoers command and opened the sudoers file
[01:17] <LjL> Ashex, yes
[01:18] <adi> but after i paste the content it wont let me save the file
[01:18] <Ashex> LjL: hmm
[01:18] <adub_> oh
[01:18] <adi> the same prob as in the begginig
[01:18] <Ashex> LjL: I'll try running the updates through my tunnel and see if it does any better
[01:18] <hubar> I am using NetworkTools (the applet) to control my wireless lan connection, what would be the commands (that is behind the applet0?
[01:18] <Ashex> just need to remember how to properly tunnel all that
[01:18] <adub_> i guess that would bring the interface down...i just dont want one wireless interface to mess with the other one
[01:18] <adi> this is why i deleted the sudoers file in the begging
[01:18] <lacqui> adi: try "sudo visudo" maybe?
[01:18] <Crusader_Tech> is anyone in here good with gkrellm? I'm trying to figure out where to put downloaded themes.
[01:19] <lacqui> adi: you'll need to know vi though
[01:19] <hubar> It is rather NetworkManager.
[01:19] <adi> never used visudo though
[01:19] <lacqui> adi: did you ever use vi?
[01:19] <LjL> adi: close gedit, and try this:  EDITOR=gedit sudo -E visudo
[01:19] <adi> ok
[01:19] <hubar> What is the wireless equivalent for ifconfig eth0 up/down?
[01:20] <jamesish1> hubar: iwconfig foo
[01:20] <Ashex> LjL: well, there's the issue. Turns out I have been running my updates through my tunnel the entire time
[01:20] <Ashex> Tunnel just happened to not be up at the moment
[01:20] <LjL> Ashex: hah
[01:20] <adub_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/57207/    <---- i continually get that error message after i apt-get install a package....the pagckages are successfully installing but that error message is getting on my nerves anyone know how i can get rid of it
[01:20] <adi> ok finally i did it :):)
[01:20] <adi> sudoers saved
[01:21] <adi> as originally sent in pastebin by LjL
[01:21] <Hilikus> in windows when i safely remove my mp3 player the player recognizes that it has been removed and says, safe to remove. on linux to remove i just umount the mount point but it doesnt make the player recognize it is safe to remove, how do i accomplish that?
[01:21] <adi> do i need to reboot?
[01:21] <lacqui> adi: no, sudoers changes take place immediately
[01:21] <chris4585> hrm ok, my files have the right permission.. but what command will set every folder and sub folder as root read write access, group read only, access, others read only access?
[01:21] <DCPom> how do you open .so files?
[01:22] <BlueEagle> DCPom: usualy you dont.
[01:22] <adi> ok so now any time i will need synaptic wont ask for pass
[01:22] <adi> ?
[01:22] <LjL> adi: shouldn't. just try "sudo true" and the other stuff you need.
[01:22] <Smell> I downloaded the net-install cd and installed the minimum ubuntu system,  and have been hand selecting packages to install. I have the kde/gnome core packages installed, and everything is working fine, except for my sound
[01:22] <adi> ok :9
[01:22] <Smell> is there certain sound packages i should install>?
[01:23] <sanshokubento> k
[01:23] <adi> as normal user "sudo true" no ouput
[01:23] <BlueEagle> Smell: Are you attempting to use integrated sound from a nForce4 chipset?
[01:23] <BlueEagle> adi: then it works.
[01:23] <Smell> onboard sound
[01:23] <storm-zen> It's a little late to ask now, but is there a known issue with sound on 8.04 LTS?
[01:23] <adi> it works :)
[01:23] <BlueEagle> adi: see also man true
[01:24] <adi> ok
[01:24] <BlueEagle> adi: However that doesn't neccessarily mean that adept and synaptic will stop asking for passwords. ;)
[01:24] <DCPom> this may be a xubuntu problem, but does anyone have a way to get pidgin-libnotify working?
[01:24] <adi> LjL thank you really very much :):)
[01:24] <adub_> sorry did anyone reply to my previous post i got disconnected
[01:24] <BlueEagle> storm-zen: nforce4 has had issues after 2.6.16 kernel afaik
[01:25] <Lykkefeen> LjL: How do I find the name of my drive when I need it for the mountmontool?
[01:25] <storm-zen> BlueEagle: How about intel-hda?
[01:25] <BlueEagle> Smell: Which chipset is on your motherboard?
[01:25] <adi> i learned the lesson now
[01:25] <sugi> Oh kay, i sudo remove compiz manager, but i still have everything i did when i had compiz manager installed.  Is it really gone? or Do i have to change Visual Effects to No effect?
[01:25] <Lykkefeen> LjL: I tried with disk-2 but that did not work :(
[01:25] <Smell> BlueEagle : best way to tell?
[01:25] <Xpistos> Can anybody tell me how to setup up a share between ubuntu and ubuntu server
[01:25] <Mickmeister> Can somebody clear something up for me please? If I were to have a fairly large LAN connected to the internet, how many external IP addresses would that network have? Would it just be the one? And if so, how could you address internal nodes on the network externally?
[01:26] <adi> never touch sudoers without reading man true or man sudoers
[01:26] <BlueEagle> storm-zen: I run intel 8x0 without problems.
[01:26] <storm-zen> Xpistos: You want nfs.
[01:26] <adi> thank you guys :9
[01:26] <sugi> Xpistos: what version of Ubuntu?
[01:26] <adi> :)
[01:26] <BlueEagle> Smell: lspci|grep Multimedia
[01:26] <adi> bye
[01:26] <Xpistos> both are Hardy
[01:26] <LjL> Lykkefeen: you don't need to mount them (if you just want to run smartctl from the livecd), you just do smartctl -H /dev/whatever. now, i don't know what the "whatever" is, but most likely it's /dev/sda
[01:26] <Xpistos> I have the ssh setup and that is a big help
[01:26] <Xpistos> I just can't find out how to setup the share
[01:26] <Smell> BlueEagle : 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)
[01:27] <sugi> Xpistos: just right click on a folder and enable sharing
[01:27] <BlueEagle> Mickmeister: You would only have one external IP for every modem connected to the internet.
[01:27] <Xpistos> and I don't want to go back to a free nass server
[01:27] <Xpistos> I don't have a gui on the server
[01:27] <BlueEagle> Mickmeister: To get access to nodes inside you need to forward the ports in question.
[01:27] <sugi> Xpistos: then type in smb://name/of/ubuntu/server
[01:27] <voglster> Mickmeister: depends on how your lan is accessing the internet ;-)
[01:28] <Xpistos> I though smb was for windows/linux shares
[01:28] <BlueEagle> Smell: Good. Now try: lsmod|grep snd_pcm
[01:28] <storm-zen> sugi: Wouldn't nfs be preferable for linux to linux?
[01:28] <kapipi> Does anyone know what the artwork will be like in ibex final? Like in the beta? Or still chances of something else making it into the release?
[01:28] <Smell> BlueEagle : snd_pcm_oss            42144  0

[01:28] <Mickmeister> BlueEagle, so a single modem equals a single IP address? A typical business orientated LAN would have more than one then?
[01:28] <Lykkefeen> LjL: That worked thanks, my harddrive passed the first test and how do I determine whether it passed or failed the second? There is nothing at the "When_Failed" column..
[01:28] <sugi> storm-zen: Xpistos: it works for my linux to linux.  personal choose? i guess
[01:29] <BlueEagle> Smell: Good. Now run: alsamixer
[01:29] <BlueEagle> Smell: Be sure to un-mute and turn up the volume for both Master and PCM channels
[01:29] <Mickmeister> voglster, could you give me some more information? Potential Google searches etc?
[01:29] <Azhi_Dahaka> I wanted to know where can i get some insight about configuring my built-in Digital Media Reader
[01:29] <jamesish1> storm-zen: samba supports better security features than NFS. It's basically a better technology in many ways.
[01:29] <LjL> Lykkefeen: well, i'd need to see the output...
[01:29] <sugi> storm-zen: Xpistos: dinner break. be right back
[01:29] <BlueEagle> Smell: M toggles mute/unmute and the up and down arrows adjust the volume while left and right arrows change channels.
[01:29] <Azhi_Dahaka> also, getting a system-wide audio equalizar
[01:30] <storm-zen> jamesish1: I didn't realize that security was an issue.  The SMB protocol is better technology than NFS?
[01:30] <CJMCKEE> Hey guys I am looking at getting a new laptop. I just want a basic machine that is small, portable, and runs well with linux. Any suggestions??
[01:31] <thomas_> CJMCKEE: eeePC 901
[01:31] <BlueEagle> Smell: Did that fix the sound for you?
[01:31] <sugi> CJMCKEE: just google the name of the laptop and your favorite distro
[01:31] <LjL> CJMCKEE, that's not really a support question, try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:31] <jamesish1> storm-zen: smb supports acls and the like; it's good at what it does, to be fair. I mean, I use ssh-fs, which is NFS over ssh, but smb deserves acknowledgment.
[01:31] <LjL> !hardware > CJMCKEE    (CJMCKEE, see the private message from Ubotu) and see this about hardware compatibility
[01:31] <sugi> CJMCKEE: thomas_: there is no fun in having a laptop with linux already on it :p lame
[01:31] <hubar> [ 20:30:01 ] wweng /home/wweng $ iwconfig /dev/wlan0 scanning
[01:31] <CJMCKEE> thomas_, I have been looking at those. I was wondering if they were Too small though. Is the keyboard hard to use?
[01:31] <hubar> iwconfig: unknown command "scanning"
[01:31] <hubar> what is wrong with this command?
[01:32] <BlueEagle> hubar: man iwconfig
[01:32] <voglster> isnt it iwlist?
[01:32] <LjL> sugi: yeah, i guess it's more fun to give Microsoft some money and *then* delete the product... </ot>
[01:32] <hubar> blue: I did it,
[01:32] <CJMCKEE> LjL, thanks for the links
[01:32] <thomas_> sugi: It doesn't come with linux in Germany... :-(
[01:32] <bunnyto> how to know the size of one directory by command line?
[01:32] <storm-zen> does anyone else have sound that is severly distorted.. to the point of generating irritation/headaches when listening to sound coming from hardy?
[01:32] <hubar> ahh nvm
[01:33] <hubar> I am so stupid
[01:33] <atticstorm> Hello, has anyone had an issue with sound stopping working on ThinkPad Laptops (x21). It was working, but it has stopped.  Did not know if an upgrade broke something.  Thank you.
[01:33] <jrib> bunnyto: du -sh
[01:33] <hubar> should be iwlist. :)
[01:33] <sugi> ljl, nah, not then that.  get a dell or hp with fedora or ubuntu and reformat and do it yourself.  maybe time for slackware.
[01:33] <Lykkefeen> LjL: I just forgot, I have 2 partitions on my harddrive, how do I determine whether the sda is the first or the second one? Because I might get a different result from my windows partition...?
[01:33] <DCPom> what's the rmdir option to force it to remove non-empty directories?
[01:33] <LjL> Lykkefeen, /dev/sda is a drive, not a partitions. examples of partitions would be /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2
[01:33] <LjL> DCPom: there isn't one, you need to use the "rm" command. "man rm"
[01:33] <sugi> ljl, my laptop was window's base and i installed linux in it right away.  it was only aviable in windows too. it's a great laptop. g1
[01:33] <hubar> atticstorm: maybe you locked up alsa device?
[01:33] <Dreamglider> when is 8.10 scheduled to "hit the streets"  ?
[01:34] <voglster> DCPom:  rm -r dir name ;-)
[01:34] <BlueEagle> hubar: Then you already know that "scanning" isn't a valid command for iwconfig. Ofcourse I am assuming you read the manual page.
[01:34] <LjL> !8.10 > Dreamglider    (Dreamglider, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:34] <DCPom> thank you voglster
[01:34] <thomas_> CJMKEE: It depends... If you're about to write a book it'll be tough...
[01:34] <hubar> BlueEagle: I said I am stupid. ;) should be iwlist. :)
[01:34] <BlueEagle> hubar: If you look at the bottom of the manual page you've got a section called "See also". I suggest you read the manual for those and see if any of those utils do what you are attempting to do.
[01:34] <LjL> BlueEagle, hubar: "scanning" is a valid command for "iwlist", maybe you were thinking of that
[01:34] <R2> hello i'm looking for some help trying to fileshare between my windows machine and ubuntu
[01:35] <BlueEagle> LjL: Just attempting to teach him to read the manual. ;)

[01:35] <hausha> I did usermod -G video ubuntu <- for my user named ubuntu. My only user. Now I can't sudo su, or get root access. What do I do?
 How do I test if alsa is locked?
[01:35] <Mickmeister> Does anybody know why a person might get large gaps in a traceroute? E.g. 1. <IP_ADDRESS> 2 * 3. * 4. * etc etc 16. Destination Address 17. * 18. * ??
[01:35] <PoisonArrow> hm, I didnt realize bitchx was command line
[01:35] <bg4bt> hi all
[01:35] <Lykkefeen> LjL this is the print: http://paste.ubuntu.com/57211/
[01:36] <hubar> atticstorm: try reboot? And apt-get install padchooser.
[01:36] <bg4bt> i already mounted my ntfs partition but where do i find it?
[01:36] <PoisonArrow> Mickmeister becuase they cant identify the comp
[01:36] <DocHoof> How do I get to a desktop in the server edition?
[01:36] <hubar> I found pulse audio is a very good sound server.
[01:36] <LjL> Lykkefeen: it doesn't look bad, as far as i can see. still, you should probably reinstall ubuntu, as your APT seemed very much messed up to me
[01:37] <bg4bt> i already mounted my ntfs partition but where do i find it?
[01:37] <Mickmeister> PoisonArrow, is there any specific reason why this may happen?
[01:37] <lucax> atticstorm, system->preferences->sound select alsa... if that does not make any change after loginout and in again, sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base
[01:37] <PoisonArrow> Mickmeister I am not certain, But it could be that its behind some kind of firewall or proxy, something I believe is masking it or spoofing it
[01:37] <PoisonArrow> Mickmeister try #networking
[01:38] <bg4bt> Lucax
[01:38] <PoisonArrow> BitchX sucks
[01:38] <bg4bt> where do i find my ntfs partition when i already mounted it under xubuntu
[01:38] <LjL> bg4bt: under /media
[01:39] <PoisonArrow> Why wouldnt I be able to manually edit my network manager?
[01:39] <PoisonArrow> nm
[01:39] <jparishy> Hey I'm trying to connect to my open network, yet it keeps asking for a WEP password, any suggestions?
[01:39] <bg4bt> thx
[01:39] <lucax> bg4bt, /media/folder... u can do gconf-editor search apps->nautilus>desktop>preferences>show drivers or something like that so u can have em on the desktop
[01:39] <PoisonArrow> jparishy: Are you sure you have no key on it
[01:39] <BlueEagle> PoisonArrow: Did you hit the "Unlock" button at the bottom right corner?
[01:40] <jparishy> PoisonArrow: Positive
 and <lucax>: I can not find padchooser in apt-get or synaptic.
[01:40] <PoisonArrow> BlueEagle: yes I just say that :)
[01:40] <skorv> hello
[01:40] <skorv> who here runs xampp
[01:40] <PoisonArrow> jparishy: try using iwconfig instead of network manager
[01:40] <hausha> I have no users in the sudoers file. How can I retain root?
[01:40] <skorv> i get an extra xampp in the url
[01:40] <PoisonArrow> jparishy: you know how?
[01:40] <lucax> atticstorm, what are u trying to do?
[01:40] <Administrator_> sf
[01:40] <Killer--Tux> hello
[01:40] <skorv> any idea how to fix this
[01:40] <BlueEagle> PoisonArrow: Then I didn't understand your questoin.
[01:40] <Killer--Tux> need help with screen resolution
[01:40] <BlueEagle> question*
[01:41] <Killer--Tux> all of a sudden my screen resolution increased
[01:41] <PoisonArrow> BlueEagle: no you did, I didnt see the unlock button, I saw it right after i askd the question
[01:41] <jparishy> PoisonArrow: This isn't my only wireless computer, nor is it the only operating system on this laptop :P
[01:41] <techsupport> is there a way to set up /etc/network/interfaces so that the address would be obtained dynamically but DNS server i would manually specify
[01:41] <BlueEagle> PoisonArrow: Ahh.. :)
[01:41] <Lykkefeen> LjL: Hmm, then today's idiot price goes to me as I previously thought about making a disk image backup but thought it would be alright to wait as the ubuntu install is just a month old and hence I did not make a disk image. Have you got any recommodation on how I can save my data, programs etc.? Is new install the only way? Oh well I'm just desperate :) I've also got a windows install, should I wipe both partitions and reinstall both again?
[01:41] <PoisonArrow> jparishy: try iwconfig
[01:42] <PoisonArrow> BlueEagle: how could It be possible for network manager to say my wireless is in roaming mode and yet I am connected?
[01:42] <KenBW2> Does anyine here use a 3G modem with Ubuntu?
[01:42] <skorv> need help with xampp in ubuntu... got the virtual hosts working but it keeps adding a /xampp/ to the url
[01:42] <KenBW2> anyone*
[01:42] <techsupport> for some reason i cant ping hostnames but can ping ip addresses
 <hubar> Suggested "atticstorm: try reboot? And apt-get install padchooser."
[01:42] <bunnyto> KenBW2: 3D is obsolete, we do use WiMax
[01:42] <b4b3> please help me somebody
[01:43] <b4b3> i can't hear sound in my ubuntu
[01:43] <grim76> techsupport: Look at resolv.conf and see if there are any entries in there for DNS servers.
[01:43] <BlueEagle> PoisonArrow: As far as I know (and this is not my teritory, just an educated guess) roaming mode in this case means that it is not configured to connect to only one wireless network (ssid).
[01:43] <Maskeye> hello
[01:43] <bunnyto> b4b3 type...  alsaconf
[01:43] <LjL> Lykkefeen, the programs really aren't hard to restore
[01:43] <LjL> !cloning | Lykkefeen
[01:43] <techsupport> grim76, i am looking, there are dns servers that were given to me by my isp
[01:43] <PoisonArrow> BlueEagle: I see
[01:44] <techsupport> grim76, it was generated automatically
[01:44] <grindhold> are there any guys who have problems with installing packages in 8.10beta, too? i always get hash sum errors.. and broken dependencies and i am not able to fix that
[01:44] <lucax> atticstorm, i dont understand what u are trying to do...
[01:44] <LjL> Lykkefeen: for the data, just backup your /home directory (or if it's its own partition - which imo is a good idea - you don't even need to), and perhaps /etc if you've changed stuff there
[01:44] <BlueEagle> PoisonArrow: ie. in roaming mode you are able to use nm to choose which wireless network you want to connect to, but if you manually lock it to use only one network then you're no longer roaming.
[01:44] <KenBW2> bunnyto: how is 3G obselete?
[01:44] <BlueEagle> PoisonArrow: A guess can be made that it will attempt to automatically connect to unsecure networks, but I am not sure if that is the case.
[01:44] <lucax> atticstorm, if u have problems with sound, open a terminal type sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base, then choose alsa in sound preferences in gnome
[01:44] <Killer--Tux> help my screen resolution it o low
[01:44] <Maskeye> not sure
[01:44] <PoisonArrow> BlueEagle: I thought you get out of roaming once you are connected to a network
[01:45] <Azhi_Dahaka> I wanted to know where can i get some insight about configuring my built-in Digital Media Reader
[01:45] <grim76> techsupport: Not sure then if the entries are there.  Can you ping those IP addresses?
[01:45] <Smell> BlueEagle : So i turned up the volume on the Master channel in alsamixergui but still no sound

[01:46] <techsupport> grim76, yes pinging those fine
[01:46] <hubar> atticstorm: I messaged you already.
[01:46] <KenBW2> bunnyto: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deployed_WiMAX_networks#U tell me how that's able to replace 3G
 I tried, but no difference.  Now, I am using xubuntu so there is no an obvious GNOME choice, Default and the sound card name.
[01:47] <BlueEagle> PoisonArrow: It's not neccessary to rule out other networks just because you're connected to one. If you for example move and loose the signal and a wireless access point is availible then it could be "handy" (and a big gaping security hole) to connect to that network.
[01:47] <lucax> !sound
[01:47] <grim76> techsupport: not sure then to be honest with you.  Never had it happen where those were there and not able to resolve names.
[01:47] <adub_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/57217/   <--- i continually get that message after every apt-get install my other packages install fine
[01:47] <bunnyto> KenBW2: 3G is to slow

[01:47] <PoisonArrow> BlueEagle: oh ok
[01:47] <grindhold> my application installer says that SciTE is not written for my architecture.. that's bullsh*t. what does that mean.. is apt buggy?
[01:47] <BlueEagle> Smell: Did you also turn up the volume on the PCM channel and un-mute them?
[01:47] <KenBW2> bunnyto: (too slow*). Speed is no good if I can't access it
[01:47] <Lykkefeen> LjL: The problem is e.g. Eclipse for programming, I must use the latest version to be compatible with the uni but it is not in the ubuntu repository's in that version...

[01:52] <Shakedown> You mean gcc? The compiler?
[01:52] <damiji1> yeah
[01:53] <Shakedown> You've got, but type 'gc' then hit tab and see if it autocompletes
[01:53] <droopsta915> i cant connect my laptop through wireless, need help please. :(
[01:53] <ozatomic> has anyone had any problems with gnome in 8.10 Beta?
[01:53] <Smell> BlueEagle : I had Headphones muted. Everythings good now
[01:53] <Shakedown> So, what do I do if xmkmf fails (cant find stdio.h for example)?
[01:54] <amenado> ozatomic--> can you try the #ubuntu+1 channel ?
[01:54] <unitedpotsmokers> hi... how to install icon set for ubuntu?
[01:54] <Lykkefeen> Anyway thank you very much everyone for helping me out, it seems like I gotta find another computer at some time soon - have you got any recommodation for a Linux computer (with e.g. proper driver support for linux)?
[01:54] <b4b3> my ubuntu is dumb
[01:54] <BlueEagle> Smell: d'oh!
[01:54] <BlueEagle> Smell: Good thing it worked out. :)
[01:54] <ozatomic> amenado: thanks
[01:54] <damiji1> Shakedown: type in terminal? or where? It doesn't autocomplete in terminal
[01:54] <b4b3> how can i install my sound driver...?
[01:54] <Shakedown> Lykkefeen: I just got my desktop from Dell the other day, loving it so far
[01:55] <b4b3> how can i check mu installed soundcard...?
[01:55] <b4b3> how can i check my installed soundcard...?
[01:55] <BlueEagle> !repeat
[01:55] <Lykkefeen> Shakedown: How about driver support? Does hotkeys work properly?
[01:55] <BlueEagle> b4b3: Which sound card do you have?
[01:55] <Shakedown> damiji: yeah the terminal. If it didn't auto-complete then you probably don't have it. To get it you can browse the repositories (Synaptic Package Manager)
[01:56] <b4b3> soundmax
[01:56] <dli> where is the w32codecs package for mplayer?
[01:56] <Shakedown> damiji: try 'sudo apt-get install gcc', that may get it
[01:57] <BlueEagle> dli: they are hidden due to unresolved issues regarding legality of those drivers in some countries.
[01:57] <Shakedown> Lykkefeen: Everything works perfectly so far. The Dell shipped with Ubuntu so I'm sure they'll take care of the drivers and only offer you a product that's going to work
[01:57] <Killer--Tux> need help with video resolution
[01:57] <smil3y> dli>   medibuntu repository

[01:57] <Shakedown> !patience
[01:58] <Lykkefeen> Shakedown: That sounds brilliant, then I just gotta choose between Dell and Asus EEE =) Oh yes, time to sleep, thanks for the advice :)
[01:58] <damiji1> Shakedown: I typed that, and it says "gcc is already the newest version."
[01:58] <BlueEagle> b4b3: lspci|grep Multimedia
[01:58] <smil3y> dli>  yeah myself i wouldnt do it, the more external programs you have outside repos, the more problems i have when upgrading

[01:59] <dli> smil3y, doesn't matter, I build mplayer from source, anyway
[01:59] <Shakedown> damiji: type 'whereis gcc' - that'll show you where it is if you've got it (if that's of any help to you).
[01:59] <damiji1> Shakedown: Let me explain better. I just downloaded the IDE "Geany" and tried to compile a template C++ file. I got the error message "/bin/sh: g++: not found"
[01:59] <NodeRazor> Hi everyone.
[01:59] <NodeRazor> I am using Ubuntu 8.10 beta now.
[02:00] <chaddy> NodeRazor: you probably want #ubuntu+1
[02:00] <BlueEagle> NodeRazor: #ubuntu+1
[02:00] <Shakedown> damiji: Well I myself am a linux newbie, so I can't help you much anymore
[02:00] <NodeRazor> well no
[02:00] <NodeRazor> =)
[02:00] <NodeRazor> I just need to install libasound2-dev
[02:01] <Shakedown> damiji: Although I would imagine if you dl'd a package it would come with everything necessary to use it
[02:01] <NodeRazor> but it says this >Depends: libasound2 (=1.0.17a-0ubuntu4) but 1.0.17a-0ubuntu5~fta1 is to be installed
[02:01] <NodeRazor> Is there any way around this?
[02:01] <codec1> Can anyone tell me what the command to make a user in ubunru?
[02:02] <NodeRazor> useradd
[02:02] <kojoy> hello, can anyone tell me which file i edit to add a command that runs during logout
[02:02] <codec1> thanks
[02:02] <okidogi> hi,all, what is clearType? I'm using BITSTREAM VERA fonts, but it seems not very clear in my emacs.
[02:02] <kojoy> the command should run for only one user
[02:02] <BlueEagle> NodeRazor: Again, you want #ubuntu+1. Especially when it comes to software installation.
[02:02] <NodeRazor> ic
[02:02] <BlueEagle> !beta
[02:02] <NodeRazor> thanks
[02:02] <NodeRazor> #ubuntu+1
[02:02] <BlueEagle> NodeRazor: You forgot /join
[02:02] <DrX> is there something faster than diff?
[02:02] <NodeRazor> i know lol
[02:02] <NodeRazor> =)
[02:02] <NodeRazor> typo
[02:02] <damiji1> I think I figured it out. I have GCC, but not g++. I am getting g++ now.
[02:03] <HockeyInJune> Is 8.10 done yet?
[02:03] <BlueEagle> DrX: Not if you want to find the difference between two files.
[02:03] <BlueEagle> !ibex | HockeyInJune
[02:03] <HockeyInJune> Thanks, BlueEagle
[02:04] <bpat1434> is it possible to have 3 monitors "twin viewed"?
[02:04] <tajlero> hello
[02:04] <okidogi> hi~,What is a font with ClearType and without ClearType mean?
[02:04] <DrX> BlueEagle: jeeze, it's taking as long as the copy
[02:04] <tajlero> how do I my esperanto the default language ?
[02:04] <bpat1434> nvm
[02:05] <BlueEagle> bpat1434: You can run x-server on three monitors, but nVidias "TwinView" does not support that as far as I know.
[02:05] <greedyb> I for some reason dont have permissions to make new folders in my other drive through natilius
[02:05] <BlueEagle> bpat1434: What you would want to do is to configure a screen for every monitor and use xinerama to make each screen aware of eachother.
[02:05] <bpat1434> BlueEagle, yeah, I'm kinda doin that now... not sure I like linux's support for multiple monitors.  Windows does make it easy
[02:05] <skorv> need help with xampp in ubuntu... got the virtual hosts working but it keeps adding a /xampp/ to the url
[02:05] <Shakedown> I need the program xspim but can't find it in the repo's. I downloaded the package spim which comes with xspim, but I need to make it myself. I've never make'd anything, and the instructions tell me to use ./configure and xmkmf - so I do and they both fail (looks like missing C libraries). What's the solution? How do I get the required libraries (if any)?
[02:05] <BlueEagle> bpat1434: Be aware that xinerama doesn't play well with all software availible.
[02:06] <bpat1434> so no compiz?
[02:06] <zelrikriando> bpat1434, no..no compiz
[02:06] <BlueEagle> bpat1434: I'm afraid not.
[02:06] <bpat1434> :(
[02:06] <greedyb> Does aynone know how I can allow myself to add files/folders to a mounted drive??
[02:06] <Shakedown> greedyb: sudo?
[02:06] <BlueEagle> greedyb: Which filesystem is on the drive/partition?
[02:07] <mrbrdo> why is rtl8187 loading ieee80211 symbols?? isn't it supposed to use mac80211?
[02:07] <greedyb> Shakedown: I made a folder using sudo to mount in media.. I think thats it
[02:07] <mrbrdo> rtl8187: Unknown symbol ieee80211_free_hw
[02:07] <greedyb> Shakedown: I want to add folders through nautilius
[02:08] <Shakedown> greedyb: Sorry, can't help ya any further, I'm still new to linux myself
[02:08] <BlueEagle> greedyb: Again, which filesystem is on the partition you mounted that you don't have access to as a regular user?
[02:08] <wartalker> what is the difference xxxx and xxxx-ng
[02:08] <greedyb> BlueEagle: I'm running all ext3
[02:08] <BlueEagle> wartalker: -ng is usually short for "next generation". This is usually "new and improved"(tm) sofware but it might also be "new and experimental with lots of bugs".
[02:08] <xomp> wartalker, "xxxx" has no "-ng", there's your difference :)
[02:09] <wartalker> BlueEagle: thx

[02:10] <BlueEagle> greedyb: You're welcome
[02:11] <jparishy> Any ideas?
[02:11] <Shakedown> So how do I use apt-get to get the Java Eclipse
[02:11] <BlueEagle> Shakedown: sudo apt-get install eclipse
[02:11] <BlueEagle> Shakedown: just a guess.
[02:11] <Shakedown> That works, but is it the Java version? I don't want to install all the versions, or the wrong version
[02:12] <Shakedown> Is there anyway to turn off these notifications?
[02:12] <jparishy> Shakedown: All versions of Eclipse can do Java, but it is a multipurpose IDE, so it will have other languages
[02:13] <NodeRazor> Does any one in here uses 8.10 beta?
[02:13] <NodeRazor> that can give me there original sources.list file.
[02:13] <Shakedown> So I want to just get the whole thing, yeah?
[02:13] <jparishy> Shakedown: Yea
[02:13] <Shakedown> Thanks

[02:17] <droopsta915> i have a inspiron 1525 with a Dell Wireless 1395 802.11g Mini-Card, how can i get it to connect to my wireless?
[02:18] <BlueEagle> damiji1: you probably want the packages libgtk2.0-dev and libgtk2.0-doc
[02:19] <damiji1> jparishy, BlueEagle: Thank you! Downloading now
[02:19] <Shakedown> So if I want all the cool desktop effects (e.g., cube) I need to have either Beryl or Compiz?
[02:20] <jparishy> I would have given you the exact package name, but I'm checking something out and can't look at the moment :P
[02:20] <BlueEagle> epoch: I don't know fruity loops, but for audio recording I use audacity.
[02:20] <epoch> BlueEagle, fruity loops is a music producing program
[02:21] <epoch> you create the music using different packs of drumsets, strings, etc
[02:21] <BlueEagle> epoch: Are we talking midi instruments?
[02:21] <epoch> i believe so
[02:21] <OrangeKyo> whenever i connect to certain wireless networks, my processor lag spikes and on occasion my ubuntu freezes completely. is there any diagnostic tool i can use to isolate the problem?
[02:21] <epoch> it allows you to setup a beatmap
[02:22] <epoch> youd have to use it to fully grasp the concept
[02:22] <epoch> but yea, its for music production
[02:22] <OrangeKyo> i feel that perhaps my system is under heavy load/attack from the network because it only occurs when connected to the library's wifi
[02:23] <pr0gr4mm3r> Hi, I am upgrading my home server to Ubuntu 8.04, and it froze at Generating locales... What should I do to resume the upgrade process?
[02:23] <BlueEagle> epoch: Closest thing I can think of off the top of my head is rosegarden
[02:23] <epoch> ok
[02:23] <Flannel> pr0gr4mm3r: the release notes mention that bug and a workaround.
[02:23] <BlueEagle> epoch: You can also try running fl-studio in wine. Check the appdb on winehq if it is supported.
[02:24] <Flannel> pr0gr4mm3r: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/249340
[02:24] <BlueEagle> (and by "supported" I do ofcourse mean "tested")
[02:24] <Flannel> pr0gr4mm3r: read the full thing before doing anything
[02:25] <pr0gr4mm3r> Flannel: ok, thanks :)
[02:25] <flynch> anyone know how to reset network manager back to its original state?
[02:25] <OrangeKyo> perhaps there is a firewall program i can load? does ubuntu have one loaded? does it have one at all? perhaps this can remedy the problem
[02:25] <flynch> I was playing with networking settings to enable an adhoc wifi the other day and since then NM hasn't functioned correctly
[02:26] <Shakedown> I need the program xspim but can't find it in the repo's. I downloaded the package spim which comes with xspim, but I need to make it myself. I've never make'd anything, and the instructions tell me to use ./configure and xmkmf - so I do and they both fail (looks like missing C libraries). What's the solution? How do I get the required libraries (if any)?
[02:26] <BlueEagle> OrangeKyo: Ubuntu ships with iptables. Firestarter is a GUI frontend to iptables.
[02:27] <epoch> BlueEagle, thanks
[02:27] <BlueEagle> epoch: You're welcome.
[02:27] <OrangeKyo> BlueEagle, ty i will check that out

[02:29] <ThePandemic82> kk thanks
[02:31] <Azhi_Dahaka> I wanted to know where can i get some insight about configuring my built-in Digital Media Reader
[02:31] <flynch> qb_away: do you actually do that... itunes has an issue seeing my iphone with XP on virtual box.
[02:31] <JulioNeto> How can I see my modem name?
[02:32] <flynch> ThePandemic82: I've used gtk pod for quite a while & quite like it
[02:33] <DrX> is there any way to tell how far along diff is (or to run a progress bar on a future diff)?
[02:33] <techsupport> hi. please help me. i can ping ip addresses but cant ping hostnames :(
[02:33] <BlueEagle> DrX: What on earth are you running diff on if it actually takes time to complete?
[02:33] <DrX> BlueEagle: it's a Xen VM... it's like 60GB
[02:33] <meoblast001> hi i have a program that i want to startup with my server.. how do i do this?
[02:33] <Smell> How can I see what the name of my windows drive is?
[02:34] <DrX> BlueEagle: I think it's taking longer to diff than it did to copy... by a long shot
[02:34] <DrX> volume
[02:34] <BlueEagle> DrX: Well it should.
[02:34] <DrX> Smell: volume or right click on the drive and select properties
[02:34] <BlueEagle> DrX: I cannot fathom why you would want to do that tbh.
[02:34] <DrX> BlueEagle: I'm used to Writes taking longer than Reads
[02:34] <DrX> BlueEagle: backup

[02:35] <ph4sor> is it safe to keep ssh over port 22?
[02:35] <techsupport> hi. please help me. i can ping ip addresses but cant ping hostnames :(
[02:35] <danopia> ph4sor, for the most part yes. Just keep securepasswords and a blokcing script.
[02:36] <chaddy> ph4sor: there are things you can do to make it more secure
[02:36] <Shakedown> Anybody using xspim? Did you have to install several other libraries/packages for you to make xspim?
[02:36] <BlueEagle> DrX: So you've copied out an image of the vm and now you're using diff in an attempt to create an incremental backup?

[02:40] <Guest59881> hey all Im having some trouble with compatability issues between a ms word document and openoffice writer
[02:40] <Guest59881> in word my document fits on a page
[02:40] <Guest59881> and in openoffice its a bit over a page.. but this particular document needs to fit on a page
[02:40] <Guest59881> I was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue
[02:40] <Shakedown> Guest: Edit the layout properties in OO
[02:41] <BlueEagle> Guest59881: Some fonts used in msOffice is not availible to OpenOffice due to licencing restrictions.
[02:41] <Guest59881> any idea what I need to edit Shakedown?
[02:41] <danopia> chaddy, that has SMB?
[02:41] <Guest59881> its in times new roman in both
[02:41] <BlueEagle> Guest59881: I suggest you change the font and fontsize and you may also adjust the margins as Shakedown suggests.
[02:42] <chaddy> danopia: did you try it?
[02:42] <danopia> chaddy, I am now and it appears to be going well so far.
[02:42] <chaddy> good stuff
[02:43] <danopia> chaddy, now I jsut have to print :P
[02:43] <Shakedown> Guest: No. Try the side margins though. Standard width is usually 1 inch, but I tend to find them defaulting to 1.5 inches. Reducing that will shorten the length of the document
[02:43] <jahv> anyone here can suggest me a good newsgroup binary application that support ssl for kde?
[02:44] <BlueEagle> Guest59881: format -> page and then in the "page"-tab you've got settings for margins.
[02:44] <nate_> Okay i have an ipod touch and i would like to use it with Ubuntu. I have the 1.1.5 firmware downloaded but not installed on the touch. first question is how can i install the 1.1.5 firmware on the touch from ubuntu so it can be jailbroken
[02:44] <Azhi_Dahaka> I wanted to know where can i get some insight about configuring my built-in Digital Media Reader
[02:44] <danopia> chaddy, before I had ot print to PDF, go to a su prompt, cat it to my sahred drive, then go to my windows machine and open the PDF from a SMB share and hit print.
[02:44] <Guest59881> hmm
[02:44] <ThePandemic82> Will the new version of Itunes work with wine?
[02:45] <chaddy> danopia: you probably still could do all that just to be retro
[02:45] <chaddy> ;)
[02:45] <Guest59881>  is there anything in particular thats set differently from msword to oo?
[02:45] <chaddy> Guest59881: that's too broad a question
[02:45] <kelvin911> how to tell my printer to print last page 1st ???
[02:45] <Shakedown> Guest: Your best bet is to play with it yourself
[02:45] <Shakedown> Guest: It shouldn't be hard
[02:46] <Guest59881> ok I guess Ill mess around with it
[02:46] <danopia> chaddy, I was thinking of making a .sh script to do it :P
[02:46] <Guest59881> thanks for your help guys
[02:46] <DrX> BlueEagle: no, I just need to verify the copy
[02:46] <Guest59881> but for instance there is also a few extra spaces on the page that arent there in msword
[02:46] <danopia> chaddy, and I think it worked, thank you.
[02:47] <foucault_> test
[02:47] <Guest59881> so it cant be only the margins
[02:47] <danopia> chaddy, it printed page one all right but now it's stuck on "Receiving data" and won't print page 2
[02:48] <BlueEagle> kelvin911: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217004 may help
[02:48] <foucault_> hey I sent someone a private message after logging in but before verifying my username. anyone know if the pm was sent..?
[02:48] <Shakedown> Anybody got xspim working? (Anybody know what xspim is?)
[02:48] <eruisto_> hi
[02:48] <danopia> chaddy, quik fix: print one page at a time ;)
[02:49] <kuthux> hello all
[02:49] <kuthux> i got one question
[02:50] <BlueEagle> !ask | kuthux
[02:50] <oxeimo1> so...I've got all my aliases set in ~/.login, and ~/.bashrc
[02:50] <kuthux> when i'm running ubuntu through live cd (hardy) i have gparted available to run
[02:50] <oxeimo1> but they aren't registering
[02:50] <oxeimo1> when I log on
[02:50] <kuthux> but when i installed ubuntu hardy to harddisk, gparted is not included
[02:51] <BlueEagle> kuthux: sudo apt-get install gparted
[02:51] <anon> I am having kernel panics, usually only when I am logged into X, if I am logged into the various ttys besides 7, I will not get a kernel panic
[02:51] <kuthux> yes i know
[02:51] <BlueEagle> kuthux: Well then, what is your question?
[02:51] <kuthux> i just wondering why it's not included in the installation
[02:52] <BlueEagle> kuthux: Because it's an optional package that most users do not require to have installed.
[02:52] <kuthux> are you guys have same experiences?
[02:52] <kuthux> so it was normal eh?
[02:53] <BlueEagle> kuthux: I think one of the major reasons for it not being included is that it's very tempting for people to resize mounted partitions with gparted. This is in very many cases a bad idea.
[02:53] <BlueEagle> kuthux: Yes, gparted is not installed by default by design.
[02:54] <kuthux> ok then, can i install gparted using the live cd ? when im not connected to internet
[02:54] <greedyb> so I was trying to install OSS instead of ALSA to get my x-fi working.. well it conflicts with something else I have installed so I want to get ALSA back correctly.. any ideas what the best way to re-install alsa?
[02:54] <kelvin911> BlueEagle: *DefaultOutputOrder: "reverse"  DOES the job !! thanks
[02:54] <BlueEagle> kuthux: There is no package for it on the disk as far as I know. To copy it from the disk would mean copying the executable binary along with all the support files needed.
[02:55] <BlueEagle> kelvin911: Google was helpful today. Keyword used: ubuntu "last page first"
[02:55] <kelvin911> yesterday i printed a 300 pages documents and i have to reverse them by hand.. :(
[02:56] <kuthux> ok thx BlueEagle
[03:01] <cjmaster> hello, How would I go about  installing java on a ubuntu with 64-bit processing?
[03:01] <misteralexander> How do I DISABLE the "Routine Check Of '/dev/sda1'" when I boot up.  It checks & the check fails, I skip the check & I boot just fine.  Any ideas?
[03:02] <eruisto> cjmaster, you can't... not yet at least.
[03:03] <soul> hello everyone, my first time here
[03:03] <doura> salut
[03:03] <zelrikriando> hi soul
[03:03] <Azhi_Dahaka> There's no way to install the latest OpenOffice via apt-get?
[03:03] <misteralexander> hi
[03:03] <daaaman64> I just ate mayo that hasn't been in a fridge for 8 hrs... What's gonna happen?
[03:03] <eruisto> Azhi_Dahaka, sudo apt-get install openoffice?
[03:04] <zelrikriando> !fr | doura
[03:04] <Azhi_Dahaka> eruisto: try it
[03:04] <Azhi_Dahaka> tell me if it installs 3
[03:04] <eruisto> Azhi_Dahaka, I don't use Ubuntu. You try it. I know it works.
[03:04] <misteralexander> daaaman64:  There is a childrens song that tells what's going to happen . . . "when you're slidin' into first & you feel something burst . . . . "  you know that song?    LOL.
[03:06] <daaaman64> wow thanks
[03:06] <misteralexander> How do I DISABLE the "Routine Check Of '/dev/sda1'" when I boot up.  It checks & the check fails, I skip the check & I boot just fine.  Any ideas?
[03:07] <Hagg3> Hello, I have just installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 on a "Acer Aspire 4715z" and everything seems to work, exept wifi. :( Does anyone have a tip/howto/guide/link on how to get the wifi working?
[03:07] <eruisto> Azhi_Dahaka, if they *latest* version of OO.o isn't in the repos, wait and they will be.
[03:07] <Guest17700> firefox keeps telling me to upgrade my browser and im quite sure ive updated it to the latest .. however ive only faced this problem when going to hotmail.com
[03:07] <anon> I am having kernel panics, only when I am logged into X, if I am logged into the various ttys besides 7, I will not get a kernel panic. I do not get a kernel panic exactly when I log in, but the time varies from anything from 5 minutes to an hour at the point that it locks up. Most of the time, but not all of the time my caps lock light blinks when this happens. I am not sure this is relevant but sometimes when I boot I get a message that says X has restart
[03:07] <misteralexander> Hagg3:  did it work before the upgrade?
[03:07] <misteralexander> Hagg3: I assume you came from a previous version of Ubuntu?
[03:08] <meyos> hello im connected through my ethernet, why is it so difficult to connect a wireless modem?
[03:08] <Guest17700> firefox keeps telling me to upgrade my browser and im quite sure ive updated it to the latest .. however ive only faced this problem when going to hotmail.com
[03:09] <Hagg3> misteralexander: yes, and the module is loaded and the card is found as "AR242x rev 01" in lspci
[03:09] <DocHoof1> That is a hotmail error with Firefox. Restart firefox and the issue goes away
[03:09] <misteralexander> Guest17700:  Hotmail is owned by the Devil, the "Anti-Tux" if  you will . . . just steer clear and all should be fine.
[03:09] <DocHoof1> At least it does for me
[03:09] <meoblast001> i followed the instructions to set up jabber server and i cant connect remotely... only from the local systemm.. what did i do wrong
[03:10] <MattJ> meoblast001: Which server did you set up?
[03:10] <misteralexander> Hagg3:  Hold one.
[03:10] <bunnyto> meoblast001: you didnt read the instructions
[03:10] <meoblast001> i read this
[03:10] <meoblast001> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpJabberServer
[03:10] <meoblast001> MattJ: i installed jabber and set that up
[03:11] <Azhi_Dahaka> Anyone knows of a ppa repo for pidgin?
[03:11] <damiji2> Hello, I am trying to get started learning GTK+. I just installed libgtk2.0-dev, but when i try to compile (using the Hello World example from gtk.org), it says "test.cpp:23:21: error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory". I know that I have this in usr/include/gtk-2.0. Can anybody help?
[03:11] <MattJ> Hmph, it's on my todo list to give that page a rewrite :/
[03:11] <MattJ> meoblast001: I suspect you probably didn't set your hostname in the configuration
[03:11] <histo> damiji2: i'm afraid you might want to ask in a different channel this is ubuntu support.
[03:12] <MattJ> and you still have "localhost"
[03:12] <meoblast001> MattJ: no i changed it to <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:12] <damiji2> oh good point.
[03:12] <misteralexander> Hagg3:  Have you ever heard of "Madwifi" ?  Reasearch that, it may not be enabled . . . even though it should be enabled by default.
[03:12] <MattJ> meoblast001: Did you restart the server after this?
[03:12] <meoblast001> i think
[03:12] <meoblast001> maybe not
[03:12] <misteralexander> How do I DISABLE the "Routine Check Of '/dev/sda1'" when I boot up.  It checks & the check fails, I skip the check & I boot just fine.  Any ideas?
[03:13] <Hagg3> misteralexander: I don't know about the setting in the bios, but I run this to activate the card. I don't know if it does work (I can not find any wifispots nor see the card in ifconfig):  # echo 1 > /proc/acpi/acer/wireless
[03:13] <DocHoof1> Is <gedit> a normal install on server version? I ask because it is what I am familiar with from Fedora 9.
[03:13] <meoblast001> MattJ: still cant connect
[03:13] <meoblast001> MattJ: what is this /Home thing at the end?
[03:13] <MattJ> meoblast001: What are the settings in your client?
[03:13] <Flannel> DocHoof1: No.  Server would have no GUI apps by default.  nano and a stripped down version of vim are default
[03:13] <pr0gr4mm3r> Flannel: there were a couple workarounds posted in that bug report you posted?
[03:14] <Flannel> pr0gr4mm3r: indeed.
[03:14] <MattJ> meoblast001: http://www.jabber.org/web/FAQ#What_is_the_.22Resource.22_setting_for_in_my_client.3F
[03:14] <meoblast001> lovely
[03:14] <meoblast001> pidgin wont start
[03:14] <DocHoof1> So <vi> works then? Or is it <vim>?
[03:14] <Flannel> DocHoof1: vim
[03:14] <Flannel> DocHoof1: vi would be a symlink, if it works
[03:14] <misteralexander> Hagg3:  Sorry, I don't have enough expirence with Wifi in Linux, I'm wired.  The one time I did have an issue, Madwifi wasn't enabled, and that fixed my problem . . . so I recomended it to you . . . sorry.
[03:14] <meoblast001> MattJ: why wont pidgin start?
[03:15] <Flannel> DocHoof1: but if you're used to normal vim, you'll want to install "vim" (sudo apt-get install vim).  vim-tiny is odd
[03:15] <MattJ> meoblast001: How do I know? :)
[03:15] <MattJ> meoblast001: I'm not psychic, but if you can provide an error message, it would be helpful
[03:15] <histo> stupid firefox and this going grey bs
[03:15] <meoblast001> MattJ: problem solved.. Finch was still running
[03:15] <meoblast001> on to the old problem
[03:15] <MattJ> ah, k
[03:15] <meoblast001> client settings
[03:15] <pr0gr4mm3r> Flannel: well...the one I followed left the system in much worse condition where it's not finding home directories, several errors at boot time, and it still can't complete the upgrade.  It almost sounds easier doing a fresh install and configing it from scratch at this point.
[03:15] <uvottu> hi i had some problems during upgrade to hardy, and i want to have ubuntu check all the packages, and reset any that were changed without have to do a complete reinstall
[03:16] <uvottu> is there a way to do this?
[03:16] <wizardslovak> hi
[03:16] <wizardslovak> i got problem, when i go to youtube and want to see  clip , i press play and firefox shuts down
[03:16] <DocHoof1> More accustomed to gedit, but vi is another CLI in Fedora I have used. My company wants to go Ubuntu after the new yaer, so I need to get used to it on my own server.
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> because flash/linux sucks.
[03:16] <meoblast001> MattJ: its XMPP... screenname is meoblast001... domain is <IP_ADDRESS>... resource is Home
[03:16] <histo> wizardslovak: did you install flashplayer?
[03:16] <histo> IndyGunFreak: yeap pretty much
[03:16] <Flannel> pr0gr4mm3r: the correct workaround is something like stop the locales thing, finish the upgrade, then reconfigure locales later
[03:16] <wizardslovak> it did work before
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> histo: i've had quite a few probs out of it myself here lately
[03:17] <MattJ> meoblast001: What error do you get when you try to connect remotely?
[03:17] <wizardslovak> histo: it did work before
[03:17] <Guest17700> misteralexander: I am a new convert ... however hotmail is important for work .. can you please help?
[03:17] <Hagg3> misteralexander: I have the following restriced modules autodetected, installed and "in use": 1) Atheros Hardware Access Layer (HAL);  2) Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards; I find "madwifi-tools", is that supposed to be installed?
[03:17] <Flannel> pr0gr4mm3r: also, try `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` to finish whatever of the upgrade you haven't finished
[03:17] <meoblast001> MattJ<EMAIL_ADDRESS>disconnected Could not establish a connection with the server. Connection refused"
[03:18] <pr0gr4mm3r> Flannel: ya, that's pretty much what I did my moving the locale directory temporarily.  How long should it take for it to generate the locales so I know when it's stuck?
[03:18] <MattJ> meoblast001: That indicates that the server is not running, or you have a firewall
[03:18] <meoblast001> MattJ: no firewall i know of
[03:18] <unlink> does totem support positioning subtitles?
[03:19] <meoblast001> MattJ: i know the server is running
[03:19] <meoblast001> MattJ: how can i make sure?
[03:19] <meoblast001> and what is /Home
[03:19] <MattJ> meoblast001: telnet <ip address> 5222
[03:19] <MattJ> It will either say "connected" or "connection refused"
[03:20] <MattJ> meoblast001: and as for /Home, see http://www.jabber.org/web/FAQ#What_is_the_.22Resource.22_setting_for_in_my_client.3F
[03:20] <meoblast001> MattJ: connection refused
[03:20] <jhalstead> I know this is the wrong place to ask this but here goes, for anyone that has an asus eeepc:  does this machine support sdhc cards?
[03:20] <MattJ> meoblast001: is it definitely the IP of the machine the server is running on? :)
[03:21] <izinucs> jhalstead, don't know why it wouldn't
[03:21] <meoblast001> MattJ: yes. i pretty much memorized that thing by now
[03:21] <eternal_p> hey, what is the beta chat channel again?
[03:21] <izinucs> ubuntu+1
[03:21] <MattJ> eternal_p: #ubuntu+1
[03:21] <eternal_p> MattJ: ty
[03:22] <meyos> what is a good app for assistance in wireless connectios
[03:22] <izinucs> meyos, if your card is recognized then the built in network manager works fine..
[03:22] <MattJ> meoblast001: Then if it is the right IP, the server is not running, there is a firewall, or possibly the server is configured to listen only on <IP_ADDRESS>/localhost
[03:23] <wizardslovak> histo: i did update flashplayer(downloaded new) and still nothing
[03:23] <binariusman> i need help with backtrack3
[03:23] <meoblast001> MattJ: how do i check the process?
[03:24] <izinucs> meoblast001, I came in late so not totally sure what you're doing.. but the ip+port number = success typically.. as in.. <IP_ADDRESS>:8080
[03:24] <binariusman> i need backtrack 3 tuto
[03:24] <meoblast001> izinucs: i got webservers working a long time ago =P
[03:24] <meoblast001> this is a Jabber server
[03:24] <meyos> izinucs: the card is recognized, but i cant connect through my wireless network.
[03:25] <izinucs> meoblast001, k.. ah.. beyond me.. but shouldn't there be a specified port number for that server too?
[03:25] <MattJ> meoblast001: Try a: ps aux | grep jabber
[03:25] <meoblast001> izinucs: im using defaults
[03:25] <unlink> i often see subtitles which are intended to be on the top of or the middle of the screen hiding the subtitles for the dialog
[03:26] <Mooloo> hi, how can i restore grub after i installed vista? i found a link, but it says "find /boot/grub/stage1" which only gives file not found. i have a boot partition, and i booted a live-cd.
[03:26] <meoblast001> MattJ: http://pastebin.com/d1a6acbfe
[03:26] <kuthux> Mooloo: try easybcd
[03:26] <izinucs> meyos, one of the icons up by the clock that looks like a network connection icon will give you access to wlan typically.. try right mouse click
[03:26] <kuthux> but it use vista's bootloader
[03:27] <Mooloo> i don't want that
[03:27] <MattJ> meoblast001: Hmm... that's jabberd2
[03:27] <bunnyto> how to make/edit ISOs?
[03:27] <meoblast001> MattJ: O_o
[03:27] <kuthux> Mooloo: then just use the live cd to install grub
[03:27] <meoblast001> MattJ: im gonna try to downgrade
[03:27] <pr0gr4mm3r1> Flannel: sorry for dropping off.  I rebooted the server, forgetting that it routes my internet :) ...and it failed to even come back, saying there are critical filesystem errors.  The /home is on its own partition, so I am just going to do a fresh install and get it over with.
[03:27] <MattJ> meoblast001: No, don't
[03:28] <meoblast001> MattJ: ok
[03:28] <Mooloo> i have booted the live cd, how do i install it then?
[03:28] <kuthux> Mooloo: u can install grub with easybcd but not to use vista's bootloader
[03:28] <meoblast001> MattJ: so what do i do?
[03:28] <MattJ> meoblast001: When I said I wanted to fix that how-to, I wanted to update it to jabberd2 :)
[03:28] <MattJ> meoblast001: Join ##jabber
[03:28] <meyos> izinucs: ive tryed it i pick my network, type  in my network password, click connect but i cant get online?
[03:28] <meoblast001> ok
[03:28] <kuthux> Mooloo: from terminal (on live cd ) type sudo grub
[03:28] <Flannel> pr0gr4mm3r1: good luck
[03:28] <Mooloo> ok
[03:28] <kuthux> Mooloo: find /boot/grub/stage1
[03:29] <Mooloo> Error 15: File not found
[03:29] <pr0gr4mm3r1> Flannel: thanks again for your help
[03:29] <izinucs> meyos, have you tried eliminating the wep/wpa security and making sure that you can connect?
[03:29] <kuthux> Mooloo: ok then try to mount the partition where u installed ubuntu
[03:30] <Mooloo> i have /, /home and /boot partitions. where do i mount them?
[03:30] <meyos> i didnt know i can eliminate that, ill try
[03:30] <danbh_intrepid> Mooloo: also mount your /boot partition
[03:30] <undertow519> I have a question about using a 3rd party library in eclipse 3.2.2 with c++ (CDT)...i tried asking in #eclipse, but no-one seems to be on there...anyone have a second, or a better place to ask for help?
[03:30] <hardcore> can i copy xbox 360 games with brasero?
[03:30] <Flannel> Mooloo: /, /home, and /boot
[03:31] <kuthux> Mooloo: so u have separated /boot partition eh ?
[03:31] <kuthux> Mooloo: mount them all
[03:31] <danbh_intrepid> hardcore: probably not.  Ubuntu doesn't support much of copy protection, much less work around it.
[03:32] <izinucs> meyos, it has to be turned off in the router.. not your machine.
[03:32] <pop3000> #cebu
[03:32] <unitedpotsmokers> can we set to auto mount every time we log in ubuntu?
[03:32] <Mooloo> ok, i have them mounted, i can see the file is there, still the file not found error
[03:32] <izinucs> unitedpotsmokers, auto mount what?
[03:33] <hardcore> i know i can copy encrypted dvds for backup purposes of course, so i just thought maybe i can do the same thing with my games
[03:33] <damien> can anyone help with wifi
[03:33] <ubuntu_todd> hi. How could I concatenate several pdf files. I remember I can do that in Acrobat Professional in Windows? Is there any easy way so that I can do my job
[03:33] <kuthux> Mooloo: sudo grub-install /dev/hdx
[03:33] <izinucs> hardcore, x360 uses a unique file format.. google.
[03:33] <unitedpotsmokers> auto mount hardisk, because some of my wallpapers located in drive D, and when i login it disappear
[03:33] <Mooloo> ok, i have sdax, what is the x? the boot partition or just /dev/sda?
[03:33] <kuthux> Mooloo: probably u have to reinstall grub
[03:34] <meyos> izinucs: i have a quest modem
[03:34] <damien> how do I know if madwifi is working properly?
[03:34] <izinucs> ubuntu_todd, I think imagemagick can do that with one of it's many commands.. also some use PDFEdit but I haven't had much luck with it.
[03:34] <cjmaster> Hello... I installed java but I can't see aplets on a web page. Help? :P
[03:34] <kuthux> Mooloo: boot partition
[03:34] <izinucs> meyos, do you have a router?
[03:34] <EnsignRedshirt> ubuntu_todd: There is a set of tool (something like pdftools) that includes a pdfjoin command.
[03:34] <izinucs> meyos, or is this a pppoe type dsl connection?
[03:35] <reqqit> Hey people - I am using ATI accelerated graphics driver - new machine, compiz runs fine. However, sticking to metacity to run blender, redraws are painfully slow
[03:35] <reqqit> and blender runs like a dog - is there some other driver I can use?
[03:35] <kuthux> Mooloo: if it shows error again then the /dev/sda
[03:35] <jdevel> reqqit, google has a lot of information indexed.. try a search.
[03:36] <cjmaster> Hello, I installed java on ubuntu, why can't I see aplets on a web page?
[03:36] <anon> :exit
[03:36] <anon> exit
[03:36] <EnsignRedshirt> ubuntu_todd: The package is pdfjam, in the universe repository.
[03:36] <izinucs> !mount | unitedpotsmokers
[03:36] <mgutz> is there anything like $ start from Windows or $ open OS X in Ubuntu
[03:36] <mgutz> for example, $ start . would open file browser at current directory
[03:36] <unitedpotsmokers> izinucs, : thanks 4 helping
[03:37] <Mooloo> it worked, but vista is not in there
[03:37] <izinucs> unitedpotsmokers, that should show you how to augment fstab to auto mount
[03:37] <ubuntu_todd> EnsignRedshirt: is there any default command I can do that?
[03:37] <cjmaster> Hey guy's, I installed linux java, but it still doesn't work. do i need to do somethign else?
[03:37] <kuthux> Mooloo: then just add it to menu.lst
[03:37] <reqqit> jdevel, please elaborate - how much information are they indexing? I don't want to search there if I feel it may be in vain. Are they indexing over 9000? Actually, adding blender specifically to my query did find something I didn't find earlier
[03:37] <ubuntu_todd> EnsignRedshirt: I mean I don't have to install any other software.
[03:37] <kuthux> use vim or gedit or something to edit menu.lst
[03:37] <mghigliotti_> cjmaster, are you using Sun Java or iceweasel?
[03:37] <reqqit> which might mean this is something that is blendercentric (I was searching for ATI ubuntu slow, and crap like that)
[03:38] <ubuntu_todd> EnsignRedshirt: I have used cat. But it doesn't work.
[03:38] <mghigliotti_> icedtea, sorry
[03:38] <EnsignRedshirt> ubuntu_todd: Sorry, I don't know.
[03:38] <DCPom> cjmaster, did you install the firefox plugin?
[03:38] <ubuntu_todd> EnsignRedshirt: how about gimp?
[03:38] <kuthux> Mooloo: open menu.lst with text editor and u'll find example included in the file
[03:38] <DCPom> !private | cjmaster
[03:38] <EnsignRedshirt> ubuntu_todd: I've never tried using gimp with PDF files.
[03:39] <ckyksa> hello, I am having some trouble with some regression when upgrading my packages when I had no more space on my hard drive (my usb devices have stopped working), lsusb gives me "Linux Foundation 2.0 hub" and nothing else
[03:39] <DCPom> cjmaster, the command is sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[03:39] <edju> Went to install virtualbox but it seems to depend on the 2.4.26-20 kernel, which is not in th repos.  What am I not getting here?
[03:40] <Mooloo> what is sda1 in hdx,y talk? (hd0,0) ?
[03:40] <EnsignRedshirt> ubuntu_todd: This question comes up now and then in the forums. For example: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=262411
[03:40] <kelvin911> how to print in xdvi?
[03:41] <damien> how do I know if madwifi is working properly? cannot see wireless network in network managerne
[03:41] <kuthux> Mooloo: ithink it's (hd0,0)

[03:42] <BigPoppa3516> Hello everyone, have a quick question about installing ubuntu.  I want to dual boot with windows, but in the documentation, it only tells you how to re-size the windows partition and install it there.  I have an entire harddisk in my workstation that i want to dedicate to ubuntu, but i'm not sure if the bootloader will pickup the windows install.  Do i need to do anything special?
[03:42] <kuthux> just try it, it won't ruin the system. the worst case is just it doesn't work
[03:42] <reqqit> we'll be needing that again soon.
[03:42] <danbh_intrepid> Mooloo: look at the device map
[03:42] <DCPom> cjmaster, try installing sun-java6-jre
[03:42] <binariusman> i need documentation for backtrack 3
[03:42] <DCPom> cjmaster, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[03:42] <binariusman> help me?
[03:42] <aaron> how do I check that my dvd has been recognized properly?
[03:43] <Frogzoo> aaron: fire up gxine
[03:43] <izinucs> BigPoppa3516, It might .. it might not but it won't delete windows if you take care and do "manual partitioning".. Grub the boot loader might be put in the wrong place but is totally fixable.
[03:44] <cjmaster> It appears its already installed.
[03:44] <Flannel> BigPoppa3516: Dualbooting without shrinking (by putting on another partition) works more or less identically, except without the shrinking part.
[03:44] <DCPom> cjmaster, what do you get when you try to install sun-java6-plugin?
[03:44] <erwin_> hi i desperately need help with my sis190 gigabit ethernet on hardy...
[03:44] <DCPom> use pastebin.com
[03:44] <Shity_T1> Hi there, I'm having weird problems where while surfing youtube, my screen goes black and I get the end of a boot where the last line is "Running local boot scrips (/etc/rc.local). The only way to fix it so far is to hold control+alt+delete, the system restarts. Why does this happen? :(
[03:44] <BigPoppa3516> ok, i'll give it a whack when the cd-iso finishes.  If i have problems, i'll check back in a bit, thanks guys
[03:45] <aaron> gxine is giving me this error    The xine engine failed to start.

[03:47] <aaron> is there a device manager in Ubuntu?
[03:47] <izinucs> aaron, yep..
[03:48] <aaron> what is the device manager in ubuntu?
[03:48] <ubuntu_todd> EnsignRedshirt: Thanks. I will install pdfedit even though gs command can do the job.
[03:48] <izinucs> aaron, in the gui if you right mouse click and choose ad to panel then choose system  monitor.. you'll have access to it.. otherwise in terminal type "top"
[03:48] <Mooloo> dual boot works, thanks for the help.
[03:48] <Shity_T1> Hi there, I'm having a weird problem where while surfing youtube, my screen goes black and I get the end of a boot where the last line is "Running local boot scrips (/etc/rc.local)", then nothing happens.

[03:49] <dmsuperman> My sounds don't work. gnome-sound-properties won't play them back when I hit "play" to test them, and beyond the initial noise ubuntu makes when it shows the login screen it doesn't make any more noises (like the login noise)

[03:49] <izinucs> dmsuperman, if you're trying to get sound in a particular program then go to terminal and type "killall pulseaudio" and see if that works
[03:50] <dmsuperman> izinucs: Pulseaudio is disabled
[03:50] <aaron> the problem is my DVD won't work after my upgrade...

Help would be much appreciated.
[03:52] <kuthux> Mooloo: congrats
[03:53] <izinucs> dmsuperman, sorry I'm not really good at the sound thing.. I did an upgrade to Hardy and sound there is hit and miss.. but a fresh install on a laptop works fine.. sometimes I think something in the upgrade process is borked or if it's not that then maybe the difference in sound cards has thrown a wrench into the mix.
[03:53] <damien> wow thanks for the help!
[03:53] <dmsuperman> izinucs: This is a fresh install, I'm pretty good with sound things and I've got sound working, it just appears that the gnome-sounds has stopped working for some reason
[03:54] <bunnyto> dmsuperman: 2 sound cards?
