[03:19] <sethk> Captain_Redbeard, what?  you deleted a line from /etc/hosts.  you can put it back in with an editor.
[03:19] <lamb_> jrib: im following a guide on how to install aiglx on dapper, and it says: sudo update-alternative --config Xorg
[03:19] <jrib> Captain_Redbeard: choose recovery mode from the grub menu when you boot up and put it back
[03:19] <sethk> fishy, I think so as well, but it isn't my money, so I can say that for free.  :)
[03:19] <Captain_Redbeard> sethk: no because I can't sudo :p
[03:20] <Captain_Redbeard> jrib: grr... I have to reboot?
[03:20] <jrib> lamb_: oh, I don't know then.  Try #ubuntu-xgl
[03:20] <lamb_> jrib: but i get: sudo: update-alternative: command not found
[03:20] <fishy> sethk: Good point. Maybe I'll get it for my birthday. :D
[03:20] <voici> it's linux-imagexxxx, not linux-kernelxxxx  right?
[03:20] <sethk> Captain_Redbeard, then do what jrib suggested, or boot the livecd and mount the partition and do it that way.
[03:20] <jrib> lamb_: it's update-alternatives
[03:20] <lamb_> jrib: thanks
[03:20] <Captain_Redbeard> Yea... that I could figure... just hate to reboot :(
[03:20] <sethk> fishy, I've not had a problem with any logitech usb mouse, and I have five different models.  I really doubt you'll have any issues.
[03:21] <hadi> i want program like captivate on windoz: this program take moveable screen shot and export .gif and .swf
[03:21] <nozorro> fishy: logitech trackballs also have worked always for me
[03:21] <mribas> alberto
[03:22] <ComputinChuck> are we still talking about mice??
[03:22] <voici> sethk: ok i reinstalled it. now just reboot?
[03:22] <ComputinChuck> hehe
[03:22] <Merovingian> I can access my SATA drive through Ubuntu 5.10's "Disk Manager" and even browse the existing NTFS partition, it also lists the unpartitioned space, but fdisk wont access /dev/sda? (it gives the error: Unable to open /dev/sda)
[03:22] <hadi> :(
[03:22] <jrib> hadi: byzanz
[03:22] <Merovingian> I'm trying to recover a lost NTFS partition within that unpartitioned space
[03:22] <mribas> luis alberto
[03:22] <Paddy_EIRE> hey guys me again
[03:22] <hadi> thx
[03:23] <nozorro> Merovingian: try cfdisk as an alternative
[03:23] <mribas> kisbelllllllllllll
[03:24] <djm62> anto9us: thanks a lot for your help, found the right bug at at last (#40125) and added my info to the list
[03:24] <Merovingian> nozorro: cfdisk wont access it either
[03:24] <Merovingian> Disk Manager shows it as /dev/sda though
[03:24] <nozorro> Merovingian: hmmm
[03:24] <anto9us> djm62: np mate, well done :)
[03:24] <gimmulf> How do i set swedish characters in terminal on a remote machine which i've ssh:ed too? (the machine hasnt got X and its running Debian, tried for 4 hours and have asked in #debian/other channels + google, im running ubuntu on my desktop machine which im using now and ssh:ing from so thought i could ask here now)
[03:25] <voici> sethk: cool it works again. thankyou very mouch. any idea what might have caused it? nothing to do with ldconfig you said....!?
[03:25] <sethk> Merovingian, use sudo fdisk
[03:25] <sethk> voici, right.  ldconfig is related to shared libraries, the .so files in /lib, /usr/lib, etc.
[03:25] <voici> any idea what could have caused it?
[03:25] <nozorro> Merovingian: i'm not sure about a 'lost NTFS partition within that unpartitioned space'  though
[03:25] <sethk> voici, this problem is related to kernel symbols.  the modules (in /lib/modules) must be available for the running kernel.
[03:25] <voici> too strange
[03:25] <sethk> voici, I have no idea.
[03:25] <Merovingian> sethk: That worked, *blush* thanks.
[03:25] <ristretto> has anyone in here had MTRR issues on the recent kernel builds, esp. with fglrx?
[03:25] <sethk> voici, indeed, strange.
[03:26] <voici> well, still *extremely* happy that it's working. thanks man
[03:26] <Merovingian> nozorro: How would I recover a lost NTFS partition?
[03:27] <Paddy_EIRE> Im getting TalkTalk broadband in in the next couple of weeks they normally use usb modems which i will nto be buying from them instead im buying a linksys.  when they are installed on a windows comp it shows up as an ISDN connection in internet connections it also requires connecting and signing in with username and password and im not sure of the other requirements? Will configuring this be straight forward in ubuntu
[03:27] <Paddy_EIRE>  with the linksys
[03:27] <nozorro> Merovingian: you wouldn't i guess. or maybe yes, with forensic tools. i'm not sure
[03:27] <sethk> Merovingian, if all that has been lost is the partition table, you can use fdisk to set the beginning and ending cylinders and the type of the partition, and it will come back.
[03:27] <sethk> Merovingian, if you really did lose it, that's a whole different thing.  that is write over it's data, not only the mbr
[03:27] <jared777> thanks for the tip guys though it seems a bit wrong to have an Internet Explorer Icon on my desktop in Ubuntu
[03:28] <Merovingian> sethk: Yeah I only deleted it in the fdisk utilty on Win XP's setup disk
[03:28] <Merovingian> sethk: So I wanna redefine the NTFS partition
[03:28] <gfxstyler> hi
[03:28] <gfxstyler> is there an ubuntu-xgl irc channel?
 yep
[03:29] <andyhill> i need help trying to get my audio playing via IEC958.
[03:29] <gfxstyler> Paddy_EIRE, whats its name?
 /join #ubuntu-xgl
[03:29] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: make sure there's a usb driver beforehand, use ethernet if at all possible
[03:29] <gfxstyler> pablo_uy, oh, okay :)
[03:30] <Merovingian> sethk: How precise dooes the starting and ending cylinder values be?
 there is no linux usb driver for there modems and they dont support linus
[03:30] <Merovingian> *have to
[03:30] <Paddy_EIRE> *linus
[03:30] <Paddy_EIRE> *linux...lol
[03:30] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: nice typo :-)
[03:30] <Paddy_EIRE> yeah
[03:31] <andyhill> :( okay
[03:31] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: they *have* no usb driver or you think so?
[03:31] <netcatc> hello all
 they dont
 they have no linux usb driver
[03:31] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: can the modem be connected via ethernet?
[03:31] <reter> how do you upload java to ubuntu hoary?
 and they only provide drivers for Mac and windows
[03:32] <sethk> Merovingian, 100% precise
[03:32] <Merovingian> That's the tricky part :/
[03:32] <sethk> Merovingian, if it's the first partition, you know where it starts, so that's half the battle
[03:32] <sethk> Merovingian, if the know where the second partition starts, you know where the first one ends.
[03:33] <netcatc> what the plugin I install for dvd
 i will be unable to troubleshoot this on the day as i will have no net until either i use windows or i can configure the linksys to connect in some way
[03:33] <netcatc> someone kwon
[03:34] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: what's your answer to my question :-)
[03:34] <shoob> anyone know how i can access network tools
 there modems are crappy little usb only modems
 im buying the linksys on anothers reccommendation
 also from here
[03:35] <Merovingian> Device /dev/sda1: starting cylinder 2, ending cylinder 3824. But, what does "W95 Ext'd (LBA)" (under "[File]  System") mean?
[03:35] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: that's very very bad, look around what local linux users have to say about this. -- also buy linux supported hardware only :-)
[03:35] <sethk> Merovingian, that's an extended partition in which virtual partitions are created
[03:35] <Merovingian> Device /dev/sda2 starts at 3825 and ends at 9728.
 apparently linksys are the boys to use
[03:36] <Merovingian> Ah okay, that explains the /dev/sda5 which also runs from 2 to 3824
[03:36] <sethk> Merovingian, if you have an extended partition, other partitions (hda5 and above) will have starting and ending cylinder numbers inside the extended partition
[03:36] <sethk> Merovingian, yes, indeed.
[03:36] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: also look up the orig. maker of the modem for driver support
[03:36] <Merovingian> So, that's my listing, and I deleted one of those partitions, yet both /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda5 are labelled as NTFS.
 they dont have linux drivers i have been looking this up months in advance then i settled with buying a linksys now i got last minute panic
[03:38] <sethk> Merovingian, post the entire thing to the paste web site.
 i really dont want to re-install windows just for there service
[03:38] <Paddy_EIRE> and have no net in ubuntu
[03:38] <Paddy_EIRE> :(
[03:38] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: this happen's :-| again ask local linux users
 not an option im on my own
[03:38] <Merovingian> sethk: Hold on.
[03:39] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: remember few people in this channel will be from Eire or wherever you are :-)
 e.g. i find a guide that tells me to do this that and the other to get the modem workng then the guide mentions downloading XXX of the repos how can i do this with no net
[03:40] <Paddy_EIRE> and an uncertanty that it will work
[03:40] <orga> Can anyone tell me where to fine either a repository or a .deb file for NVU ?
 what is isdn anyway
[03:40] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: try to figure out beforehand as much as possible.
[03:40] <Paddy_EIRE> should it really be a major problem

[03:49] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: now lemme check
[03:49] <f4t4l`> Will it be really easty to figure out?
[03:49] <tjb891> i just noticed there is no grammer check in open office, is this true
[03:49] <f4t4l`> When im in the install menu
[03:50] <f4t4l`> Will it ask if i want to dual boot and whch drive?

[03:51] <f4t4l`> >:O
[03:51] <Merovingian> sethk: How do I redefine /dev/sda5 as a NTFS partition, even though it is already listed as a NTFS volume in fdisk? [http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23103]
[03:51] <f4t4l`> I should just call my friend's dad.
[03:51] <levander> I'm about to run a program that's going to download a bunch of files in a specific directory.  Is there any easy way to figure out what files have been added?  It might modify a couple of files, and I'd like to see those to.
[03:51] <ShdwShinobi> f4t4l`, what do you need?
[03:51] <wubrgamer> hey guys
[03:52] <f4t4l`> hi

[03:52] <Paddy_EIRE> ough it never worked on the ubuntu install so she ended up back with windows:(
[03:52] <asonjay99> how do i get the theme manager in gnome
[03:52] <wubrgamer> so i would like to poll personal opinion here
[03:52] <rayston> is there a way to retrieve my password if I forgot it?
[03:52] <wubrgamer> what is the best file system for an external hard disk ? mostly mp3's
[03:53] <nigel> Hey
[03:53] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: just wait a bit, still reading ...
[03:53] <nigel> Is there a way to have my wireless automatically reconnect upon disconnection.
[03:53] <asonjay99> how do i get the theme manager in gnome
[03:54] <nigel> asonjay
[03:54] <diego_cl> guest account = nobody  <--- thats from Samba config file... it mean that guest's are not allowed ?!
[03:54] <dk06> asonja: system>prefrences>theme
[03:54] <nigel> System -> Preferences -> Themes
[03:54] <wubrgamer> anyway, best file system for an external hard disk ?
[03:54] <FCTE> fat32
[03:54] <asonjay99> yeah but isnt there a manager thingy that had everything....
[03:54] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: listening?
[03:54] <nigel> I agree FCTE
[03:54] <asonjay99> im looking for a way to change the font color and i cant find it
[03:55] <ShdwShinobi> Does anyone know of a simple to install program that lets you watch TV?
[03:55] <wubrgamer> why fat32 ?
[03:55] <nigel> Because linux can natively write on it..
 above i dont want to flood to much didnt realize the link was so big oops
[03:55] <FCTE> when I format mine in fat32 fstab sees them and boots them with my system, otherwise in ext3 I have to manually mount them.
[03:56] <nigel> Thats nice too
[03:56] <nigel> lol
[03:56] <wubrgamer> you have to mount your ext3's ?
[03:56] <wubrgamer> hmm
[03:56] <wubrgamer> thank you
[03:56] <Vratha> hello
[03:56] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: the first one you gave me (linksys) has ethernet ports and thus should be no problem. maybe the *setup* must be made from windows (due to isp shoving windows down your throat) but that can be circumvented in most cases. -- anyway you said it was going to be isdn?
[03:56] <Vratha> any of you guys have VLC or mplayer working with DVDs?  when i do something like "vlc /dev/dvd", libdvdread returns this error: libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable.
[03:56] <FCTE> fat32 is also should you gasp, need to transfer files to a Windows box
[03:56] <FCTE> *nice
[03:57] <winston> I keep getting the same error when I try to install anything: msttcorefonts
[03:57] <Vratha> i've had them working on ubuntu before, but i can't remember what pakcage to install
[03:57] <nigel> Does anyone know how to get my wireless to reconnect automatically upon disconnection ?
[03:58] <FCTE> winston, you can use automatix to install the font package
[03:58] <dk06> your router should automatically reconnect you]
[03:58] <fuoco> question: if I have both a CDR and DVDR drives in my PC where should I connect each in terms of Primary/Secondary Maser/Slave? (I understand these both should go to Master, but there's already my HDD in primary master...)
[03:58] <dk06> or you may have to update your router firmware
[03:58] <winston> FCTE Allright I'll try that
[03:58] <FCTE> winston, here is the link
[03:58] <Homer> I have a really bad screen flicker
[03:58] <nigel> dko6 : My router doesn't like linux.
[03:59] <Homer> what could that be
[03:59] <dk06> fuoco, put your hard drive on your secondary
[03:59] <FCTE> winston, http://www.getautomatix.com/
[03:59] <jikanter> fuoco: make the dvdr master
[03:59] <jikanter> so you can boot linux from cd
[03:59] <ShdwShinobi> When I launch Xawtv, my screen comes up black. Why is that?
 yeah well it is broadband but in a windows user i knows pc it comes up in the internet connections window as isdn where normally dialup connections are, when her comp is switched on she needs to click connect on the desktop
[03:59] <Merovingian> Can anyone help me retain my lost NTFS partition (dev/sda5)? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23103
[03:59] <winston> FCTE thanks, I'm already on it
[04:00] <Paddy_EIRE> which shows talktalks logo and username and password
[04:00] <asonjay99> anyone know how to chnage the font color of the top menu bar thing in gnome
[04:00] <FCTE> winston, no problem
[04:00] <dk06> anyone here use Enlightenment  WM
[04:00] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: ah i see. anyway for any dsl router/modem you buy, just make sure it has at least one ethernet port and not *only* wireless/usb connection to the computer. then you'll be fine, mostly. of course you'll need an ethernet card.
[04:00] <Vratha> what do i need to install to be able to play DVDs?
[04:00] <russ> anyone help installing wireless card drivers....???....
[04:01] <russ> vratha: use that automatix....
[04:01] <J-_> what's a good program to rip a cd with?
[04:01] <russ> does a lot....
[04:01] <FCTE> Vratha, automatix has the dvd codecs http://www.getautomatix.com/
[04:01] <jbroome> !automatix
[04:01] <ubotu> automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://www.getautomatix.com/ ; For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[04:01] <Vratha> aahhh
[04:01] <Vratha> thanks; i'll check that out
[04:01] <FCTE> J-_, gnomebaker
[04:01] <J-_> thanks
[04:02] <Vratha> i swear this used to work out of the box, unless that was just on debian
[04:02] <Vratha> have there been recent changes to ubuntu that remove dvd support?
 yeah thats what i have an ethernet card thats how im on now :) with bts modem which gives both usb and ethernet
[04:02] <FCTE> J-_, assuming you're using gnome LOL oops
[04:02] <J-_> yeah i am lol =D
[04:02] <cronin> anyone ever use cinema 4d with after effects?
what about this username and password does that be entered via the browser/linksys config window
[04:03] <Homer> Does ACPI not suck in newer versions of Linux?
[04:03] <fuoco> dk06: my main HDD which i use to boot shouldn't be primary master ?
[04:03] <dk06> no
[04:03] <dk06> put it secondary primary
[04:03] <dk06> err
[04:03] <ubuntu-es> LOOOOL
[04:03] <dk06> secondary master
[04:04] <dk06> lol
[04:04] <fuoco> dk06: heh
[04:04] <Merovingian> BIOS gives me an error, "Error loading operating system"
[04:04] <dk06> lol
[04:04] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: not always, some big isp's make that in windows program only. ask isp beforehand. -- anyway the funniest thing: i think the linsys has linux running inside as an operating system. you'll then have two linux boxes
[04:04] <dk06> try loading it in safe mode
[04:04] <fuoco> dk06: but i have both a dvd-r and cd-r - which both need to be master ?
 yeah thats right
[04:04] <dk06> do u reall need the cdr
[04:04] <reter> i am trying to make a file in fakeroot but it saids the file does not exist and i just download it
[04:04] <dk06> dvdr can burn cdr
[04:05] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: have to leave soon -- any other questions about this?
[04:05] <Merovingian> <--- Someone here needs serious help.
[04:05] <Merovingian> :)
[04:05] <fuoco> dk06: so maybe i put hdd primary-master, dvd-r secondary-master and cd-r secondary-slave ?
 will i still be able to do <IP_ADDRESS> in a browser to get into the linksys and set user and pass
[04:05] <dk06> im not sure
[04:05] <dk06> but my dvdr is on primary master
[04:05] <dk06> and hdd is on seconday master
[04:06] <fuoco> hmm
[04:06] <dk06> and its working well
[04:06] <fuoco> ok i'll try
[04:06] <russ> how do you install a linksys wireless usb....???....
[04:06] <Vratha> so me using automatix in the USA to get DVD support working would be a crime... to get my paid-for DVDs to work is criminal...
[04:06] <charles_a> how can I configure readline to use vi mode?
[04:07] <lamb_> please help, im having trouble finding the gset-compiz deb package.. could someone help me... thanks
[04:07] <FCTE> Vratha, no but stealing the codecs is LOL
[04:07] <Vratha> ah
[04:07] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: ubuntu/linux surely won't hinder that. some big isp's sell you customized routers/modems with their service where they could break that. as i said, if you buy this from your isp, ask them. if you buy from hardware shop, it should be ok
 im useless with command line and know practically nothing of internet connections, like i can access my bt voyager router with "<IP_ADDRESS>" in firefox
[04:07] <Paddy_EIRE> ok
[04:08] <russ> we can back up our movies but we can't decrypt the copyright encryption....
[04:08] <Vratha> there aren't any free codecs that can play my DVDs using something like VLC?
[04:08] <FCTE> Vratha, I don't think VLC has the codecs until you install them
[04:09] <Vratha> right, but i mean there aren't any free codecs i can install?
[04:09] <FCTE> Vratha, I don't think so otherwise they would have put them in Ubuntu
 cheers, Im just dreading this not working and paying for a service that i dont have unless I use windows...and i realllly hate the fu*kers wish linux support would grow among these ISPs
[04:09] <hadi> help me! configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
[04:09] <Vratha> FCTE: i guess that's true... maybe i should be a "criminal" then?
[04:09] <FCTE> Vratha, the codecs are copyrighted and prorietary workd wide
[04:09] <russ> is there another channel i might find someone to help me with my wireless adapter....???....
i will stick with it gonna break my win cd to make sure i dont touch it
[04:10] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: enter http://<IP_ADDRESS>/doc/index.htm(l) or something similar in address field of the browser. the documentation of the modem will surrely have this
[04:10] <hadi> C compiler cannot create executables. how to fix it?
[04:10] <FCTE> Vratha, it's all up to you, I advocate nothing LOL
[04:10] <Vratha> hehehe
[04:10] <Vratha> some fucker above my apartment is smoking
[04:10] <FCTE> Vratha, it's the same for WMP video as well I'm araid
[04:10] <Vratha> i'm going to start talking to them about it if i keep smelling this shit one more day
[04:10] <FCTE> *afraid
[04:10] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: look up the documentation for the device beforehand at the maker's site
[04:10] <mipstien> just burn your apartment then you smoke and everyone wins!
ok, I appreciate all your help listening to my ramblings and all.......gonna do as u say
[04:11] <jrib> hadi: install build-essential
[04:11] <Vratha> heh
[04:11] <Paddy_EIRE> :)
[04:11] <Vratha> i like my apt.
[04:11] <mipstien> o
[04:11] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: again, ubuntu won't prevent you from accessing the config page in the browser, ever
[04:11] <hadi> OK
[04:11] <Vratha> but considering smoking is a hazard to me and i think it's against lease rules to smoke inside, i'm pretty sure i have a good case to get their asses to quit
[04:11] <Vratha> and if they don't like it, they can leave
[04:12] <infidel> anyone know wherei can find a tutorial on configuring the key bindings for the compiz manager?
[04:12] <nozorro> Paddy_EIRE: cherrio then, long live Irish Whiskey and Irish Writers then :-)
thanks  man you put my mind at rest cheers
[04:15] <Vratha> well thanks; automatix is what i wanted, even though i'm in the US of A
[04:22] <TylerDurdener> how do i edit the Search for Files program? is there a .conf i can use or something?
[04:23] <SurfnKid> um
[04:24] <SurfnKid> i need to ask a question
[04:24] <SurfnKid> are we done splitting
[04:24] <SurfnKid> how can i add a spellcheck in another language in openoffice?
[04:24] <bruenig> SurfnKid, what language?
[04:25] <b0ysc0ut> can i have the dock from OS X into gnome?
[04:25] <MadCowBoy> HI I have a question about installing compwiz, Just got a new laptop and want to add some flash...
[04:26] <bruenig> MadCowBoy, first, do you mean compiz , second if you do mean compiz, flash doesn't have anything to do with it
[04:27] <bruenig> b0ysc0ut, try gdesklets, there is a dock you can run from that
[04:28] <chewd> hello folks
[04:28] <b0ysc0ut> bruenig can i run it usin gnome?
[04:28] <chewd> anybody have any tips on getting dual monitors to work in ubuntu?
[04:28] <melo1> i've installed wine / cabextract / ies4linux successfully.. now.. how does one actually run the browser?
[04:29] <bruenig> b0ysc0ut, there is nothing in gnome that by default allows you to have a dock like OS X, you can run gdesklets in gnome if that is what your question is asking. (your question is ambiguous)
[04:29] <wira1_8> is there world of worldcraft on ubuntu?
[04:29] <b0ysc0ut> ok thank u
[04:30] <bruenig> melo1, the script is in the home folder somewhere. I believe it is ~/bin/ie6
[04:30] <melo1> ta :)
[04:30] <wasabi> chewd: Two Screen/Devices sections in xorg.conf, or TwinView or whatever if you have one of "those" cards.
[04:31] <MadCowBoy> bruenig: I know, Bud, your right I meant compiz and not adding flash, i meant adding something flashy...
[04:31] <chewd> i installed the nvidia drivers & such... how do i access the config?
[04:32] <bruenig> MadCowBoy, ok well head over to #ubuntu-xgl, that channel will be more helpfull for compiz and xgl and the like
[04:32] <bruenig> helpful*
[04:32] <helo_aBiNg> anyone knows howto fix this bug:sda&sda(2)...?
[04:32] <MadCowBoy> Cheers thanks alot, Much appreciated, see you around.
[04:34] <DavidW2> If I installed lilo, How do I make grub the default bootloader again? dpkg-reconfigure grub doesn't seem to do anything
[04:34] <pcwick> Amorok states: "Audio output unavailable; the device is busy."  How can unbusy the device?
[04:35] <pcwick> no other audio programs running, and I restarted Amarok
[04:36] <bruenig> pcwick, this may work. sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[04:36] <Refried_> Hey
[04:36] <Refried_> I've got 3 nics in my router, and sometimes on reboot, they change device names
[04:37] <Refried_> which makes my /etc/network/interfaces settings apply incorrectly
[04:37] <shah02> is there anyone that knows a good program in linux like isolo?
[04:37] <bruenig> pcwick, work or not?
[04:37] <shah02> for reading pdb files??
[04:37] <Refried_> is there a nice debian/ubuntu way to fix this, lock them down to particular device names?
[04:38] <compu73rg33k> I'm going to install ubuntu on my "home server" which I'll probably run a simple website off of but more mainly sused as a file server for my home network. Woudl you recommend the server version? or the desktop?
[04:38] <pcwick> bruenig: no, it didn't work, thanks for the suggestion, any other ideas
[04:38] <bruenig> !info txt2pdbdoc
[04:38] <ubotu> txt2pdbdoc: convert plain text files to Palm DOC (for PalmOS) and back. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4.4-4 (dapper), package size 35 kB, installed size 144 kB
[04:39] <shah02> bruenig, i tried that it didn't work
[04:39] <shah02> bruenig, it tells me that it's not a pdb file, but it is and it works in isolo in windows...
[04:40] <bruenig> shah02, that is all I see in the repos that seems like it does what you want by the description
[04:41] <shah02> bruenig: that is what i thought until i tried it and it failed :(
[04:43] <Gevaudan82> hmmm...anyone happen to know why vnc4server or tightvncserver do not install themselves automatically into xinit.d? i've spent half a day and have yet to get them integrated, specifically tightvnc
[04:44] <sethk> Gevaudan82, what difference does it make whether the start script/program is in /etc/init.d or some other directory?
[04:44] <roostishaw> anyone, where can i find the dafault hosts file in ubuntu?
[04:45] <sethk> roostishaw, /etc/hosts
[04:45] <Gevaudan82> sethk: i agree, that would be fine it if installed itself in init.d but it doesn't even do that
[04:45] <sethk> roostishaw, has just a couple of lines, one or loopback, and one for the host's public ip
[04:45] <roostishaw> sethk, thats the one i changed, thats why im asking for the default file, to restore it
[04:45] <sethk> roostishaw, oh, you want the contents of a clean install hosts.  it's not a default, exactly.  I think I have it.
[04:46] <roostishaw> sethk, yes, exactly
[04:46] <Gevaudan82> if i run /usr/bin/tightvncserver then all is well...but an included startup script would be nice rather than for me to hack something up and have it probally not work anyway...specifically teh ability to start stop restart the vnc server on the same session
[04:46] <AngryElf> guys, i'm not sure the best way to set up what i want -- i want two 'sites'  i'd prefer that http://myIP goes to a public site, and http://myIP/something goes to a private site with a prompt (that I previously had set up).....but now i'm confused with the 2nd site thrown in there, any ideas?
[04:46] <sethk> Gevaudan82, ln -s /usr/bin/tightvncserver /etc/init.d/tightvncserver
[04:47] <roostishaw> sethk, do you have one, or know where i can find one?
[04:47] <sethk> roostishaw, pm me, I'll paste it
[04:47] <Gevaudan82> sethk: i actually tried something like #/bin/bash tightvncserver but it did not seem to start
[04:47] <compu73rg33k> would you guys recommend using the server editoin for a home fileserver that will run a weblog?
[04:47] <sethk> Gevaudan82, it isn't a script, it's a program.  you don't run a program with a shell
[04:47] <sethk> Gevaudan82, however, you don't need "something like" what I gave you.  you need what I gave you.
[04:48] <Gevaudan82> sethk: i see...i will try that...but it would be nice to be able to start,stop,restart the daemon on the same session...from my experience if you kill the tightvncserver process and then start it again it creates it on a different session even after deleted the pid files in ~/.vnc
[04:49] <Gevaudan82> sethk: but upon restarting all is well again and creates it on the default session (1)
[04:49] <sethk> Gevaudan82, ok.  a script like that would be, maybe, 25 lines.
[04:49] <Gevaudan82> sethk: problem is that man tightvncserver shows that it accepts no arguments
[04:50] <Homer> what is the compiz video
[04:50] <bruenig> Gevaudan82, might have to do some creative scripting then
[04:50] <sethk> Gevaudan82, right, so you need a script.
[04:50] <Gevaudan82> sethk: i guess i'm frustrated because this seems like a very common process and everything else is working perfectly since i've migrated my server from centos to ubuntu
[04:50] <bruenig> Homer, there are quite a few, do you mean the novell one that is absurdly long
[04:50] <sethk> Gevaudan82, that's why your quesiton was confusing.  you don't care about a particular directory, you need a script.
[04:51] <sethk> Gevaudan82, well, sure, it would be nice if they provide it, but as I said, it's a short script
[04:51] <james296> How can I make Ubuntu so when I press the volume down or volume up buttons on my keyboard and HOLD one of them it will continue to go up or down, because now for some reason I have to TAP the button to adjust the volume instead of holding it
[04:51] <james296> how do I fix that?
[04:51] <compu73rg33k> has anybody here used the server version of ubuntu?
[04:51] <sethk> Gevaudan82, you should be able to take something else in init.d and edit it
[04:51] <bruenig> james296, are they included in the System>preferences>keyboard shortcuts
[04:52] <Gevaudan82> compu73rg33k: i tried it...note that it includes no gui by default
[04:52] <james296> yes they are
[04:52] <compu73rg33k> Gevaudan82: oh really...interesting...but is it easy to insatll gnome on it?
[04:53] <compu73rg33k> I'm also looking to make the box an asterisk server
[04:53] <sethk> compu73rg33k, sure.  there is nothing different about the server install
[04:53] <sethk> compu73rg33k, except the list of packages
[04:53] <sethk> compu73rg33k, you can install anything.
[04:53] <bruenig> james296, I would try to put another shortcut to see if it is button related (something about those buttons makes it where you have to tap) or system related (the system mandates you must tap), I use ctrl + up and ctrl + down and I don't have to tap
[04:53] <Gevaudan82> compu73rg33k: i didn't try as i didn't want to resolve the default dependencies...i just used the default 6.06 install and made it to a server from there...i use my server as both a server and as a desktop sharing my mouse/keyboard with my laptop with synergy
[04:53] <compu73rg33k> sethk: i've never done a ubuntu install heh
[04:53] <sethk> compu73rg33k, the server config is just what a typical server might need.
[04:54] <sethk> compu73rg33k, to install gnome is one line
[04:54] <sethk> compu73rg33k, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:54] <axisys> is there a separate irc chnl for wireless issues on ubuntu?
[04:54] <sethk> compu73rg33k, that will install gnome on a box
[04:54] <matthew_w> Does anyone know how I could convert an AVI video file into a 176x144 .3GPP File in Ubuntu?
[04:54] <bruenig> axisys, no, you can however look here for some good info
[04:54] <bruenig> !wifi
[04:54] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:54] <compu73rg33k> Well sethk I don't need most of the packages included in regular ubuntu desktop
[04:54] <axisys> bruenig: thnx
[04:55] <compu73rg33k> just really will need firefox, gaim, and xchat
[04:55] <james296> that shortcut works...
[04:55] <bruenig> james296, looks like your other buttons have some issues.
[04:55] <axisys> i was testing suse 10.1 on this laptop and my wifi button lits when i turn on wifi.. but with dapper drake it does not
[04:55] <Merovingian> sethk: I pasted my fdisk partition table layout at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23103
[04:55] <axisys> its a hp nc6220
[04:55] <Gevaudan82> sethk:  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop is good to know...does the server feature an optomized kernel or anything...i upgraded mine to support smp 686 so i wonder if there is any benefit
[04:56] <Jack_Sparrow> HI all, with a fresh install of Ubuntu, and only a dial up account... I dont see any dialer under internet in the menu list.. any help with that.?
[04:56] <sethk> Merovingian, I'll look, but I'm about to fade away here.
[04:56] <james296> apparently...
[04:56] <Merovingian> sethk: I'm stumped, I dont understand why fdisk sees /dev/sda5 as NTFS, but Ubuntu's Disk Manager sees it as Unpartitioned
[04:56] <bruenig> I assume keyboards work like any other input device whereby they send signals and those signals are translated into some action. perhaps for some reason your keyboard sound buttons will only send one impulse for each pulse whereas the other keys will send impulses every so often so long as they are held down
[04:56] <Merovingian> sethk: k
[04:56] <Gevaudan82> Merovingian: when in doubt trust fdisk
[04:57] <sethk> Merovingian, I'm not familiar with that format.   use  fdisk -l /dev/hda    to print the partition table.
[04:57] <bintut> how can i install a video plugin for firefox like support on .avi, .wma or .mpg?
[04:57] <bruenig> !mozilla-mplayer
[04:57] <ubotu> mozilla-mplayer: MPlayer-Plugin for Mozilla. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.17-1ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 421 kB, installed size 1500 kB
[04:57] <bruenig> bintut, I use that, it is good
[04:57] <Gevaudan82> bintut: do a search for mplayer in synaptec and get the mozilla plguin as wel
[04:57] <Merovingian> sethk: That's fdisk's printout, I had to retype it because I'm working on another machine here.
[04:57] <bintut> bruenig: thanks..  :)
[04:58] <james296> LOL
[04:58] <bintut> thanks Gevaudan82
[04:58] <james296> I know why
[04:58] <james296> because I plugged it in my USB port instead of PS/2 port
[04:58] <axisys> is there a separate irc chnl for laptop issues on ubuntu?
[04:58] <StoneNote> !laptop
[04:58] <ubotu> Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org
[04:59] <axisys> StoneNote: thnx
[04:59] <sethk> Merovingian, well, one of us is going to have to type it the same way that fdisk -l shows it.  I nominate you.  :)
[04:59] <bintut> bruenig and Gevaudan82: i don't have that plugin
[04:59] <axisys> !laptop > axisys
[04:59] <StoneNote> yw. not exactlty what you were looking for but I hope it helps
[04:59] <bintut> what repository shall i add?
[04:59] <bruenig> bintut, ah you need to enable multiverse
[04:59] <sethk> Merovingian, we need ALL the lines from fdisk -l, NOT just the partition lines
[04:59] <bintut> bruenig: ok
[04:59] <Merovingian> k
[04:59] <bruenig> bintut, follow this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#head-5bbef89639d9a7d93fe38f6356dc17847d373096
[05:00] <axisys> StoneNote: looking for wifi issue on laptop
[05:00] <bintut> bruenig: ok
[05:02] <sethk> Merovingian, I'll be in and out but I'll try to get back to you soon.
[05:02] <compu73rg33k> anybody here setup asterisk on their ubuntu server?
[05:02] <StoneNote> axisys, I doubt I can be of help. I just got wifi working myself on my desktop so I'm no expert.  I ld/l ndiswrapper and followed the install instructions (make uninstall/make/sudo make install;got a copy of the windows drivers for my  wireless card;unpacked them;loaded them;rebooted;viola wireless worked)
[05:03] <Merovingian> sethk, thanks. Currently busy installing Windows XP on the /dev/sda2 partition, so I'll have to update the fdisk output later ;(
[05:03] <DavidW2> For some reason, my usb drive won't mount. I get no device entry for it, so I can't seem to mount it manually either :(
[05:03] <maple1> how long will it take k3b to burn at 0x?
[05:04] <bruenig> division by zero...
[05:04] <guy> anyone know how to run vmware along side arts daemon
[05:05] <guy> or any non-arts applications to use arts
[05:05] <guy> some type of wrapper?
[05:05] <reZo> I have a question about dual monitors. Basicly, I have plugged both in, and I'm editing the X11 file at the moment. However, I have come accross to the point where I need to put in the BusID, now, is this BusID the one from the lspci command, or is it something else?
[05:05] <Caplain> how do i mount a samba share?
[05:05] <eaglescout> hi.  I need some help.  My Ubuntu is out of disc space, so I can't log in.  How can I make more disc space without logging in, or how can I delete everything and re-install it?  anywhere I can get this info?
[05:05] <Kromel> Anyone have any luck with DWL-G132 wireless?
[05:06] <bintut> Caplain: use smb4k for gui app or smbmount for cli
[05:06] <TehUni> Rezo: lspci | grep vga
[05:06] <Caplain> Kromel: have you tried madwifi?
[05:06] <TehUni> should tell you
[05:06] <reZo> Wicked.
[05:06] <Kromel> madwifi?
[05:06] <Kromel> hmm
[05:06] <bruenig> eaglescout, wow, you must be really out of space to not even be able to login. you could use the live cd. mount the drive and then delete stuff
[05:06] <Kromel> looking it up now, thanks
[05:06] <reZo> TehUni: Comes up with nothing at all.
[05:07] <eaglescout> yeah, I had 10 GB, but it said that I only allowed 3GB for the drive. o_O
[05:07] <reZo> However, in my lspci I have:
[05:07] <reZo> 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0291 (rev a1)
[05:07] <TehUni> Rezo: lspci | grep VGA
[05:07] <TehUni> sorry
[05:07] <TehUni> caps.
[05:07] <bruenig> eaglescout, so do you have a live cd?
[05:07] <reZo> Wicked as dude.
[05:07] <bintut> eaglescout: boot in a single user mode and remove files you don't need
[05:07] <Wicked_> O.o
[05:07] <reZo> TehUni, would that number code at the start be the BusID?
[05:07] <bruenig> bintut, did you get mozilla-mplayer?
[05:07] <reZo> Wicked_ Sorry dude XD
[05:07] <eaglescout> okay, by Live CD, you mean the desktop CD? yse, I have one. I'll run it.
[05:08] <Wicked_> no problem I should turn that off
[05:08] <bintut> bruenig: installing it..
[05:09] <TehUni> reZo: should be 1:0:0 for you.
[05:09] <reZo> Wicked as.
[05:10] <reZo> Let's see if this works.
[05:10] <reZo> Brb
[05:10] <wx9j> I cannot change the resoultion on this box, it never changes after I hit apply, what file do I manually edit to get this done ?
[05:11] <bruenig> wxpj, xorg.conf
[05:12] <TehUni> wx9j: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:12] <wx9j> thank you . my memory is shot, I never memember things
[05:13] <Caplain> i instaled the samba tools but i sitll dont have smbmount or smb4k
[05:15] <reZo> TehUni: Didn't work.
[05:15] <reZo> Hmmms, the other monitor works fine untill the login screen on Ubuntu.
[05:20] <Homer> So is Edgy going to use XGL? :p
[05:21] <chew1> hey guys
[05:21] <foo> How can I check my battery status ? Hm
[05:21] <foo> I am in fluxbox
[05:21] <james296> is it possible for me to get something that would allow me to change the color of my themes?
[05:21] <chew1> im trying to activate my nvidia drivers... need to edit xorg.conf in the X11 dir apparently... however text editor wont let me save the changes
[05:21] <chew1> how do i give text editor root priviledge?
[05:22] <dr_willis_> james296,  you could always edit/make  a new theme with the colors
[05:22] <chew1> or... failing that.. how do i edit xorg.conf from terminal?
[05:22] <dr_willis_> chew1,  sudo editor-you-like
[05:22] <james296> well how can I CHANGE the color but nothing else?
[05:22] <dr_willis_> chew1,  sudo editor-you-like /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:22] <chew1> oh hell i dont even know which editor im using
[05:22] <chew1> whatever came with ubuntu
[05:23] <wx9j> gedit
[05:23] <wx9j> sudo su gedit
[05:24] <dr_willis_> sudo su ? where do people get that from. :P

[05:31] <aleka> if anyone has a min to answer my stupid questions please...

[05:31] <Blue89> I am not on ubuntu, but I am considering using it, and I want to know if my app is available for it. Is ALICE in synaptic?
[05:31] <dr_willis_> !info alice
[05:31] <ubotu> Package alice does not exist in any distro I know
[05:32] <dr_willis_> I would guess thats a No Blue89 .
[05:32] <Blue89> :-9
[05:32] <bruenig> !ask
[05:32] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:32] <__mikem> Blue89 what is alice?
[05:32] <krazykit> aleka: ooffice
[05:32] <bruenig> Blue89, yeah I am wondering that too
[05:32] <__mikem> maybe he is in wonderland

[05:35] <KanRiNiN> Hey I had a question about Synaptic..
[05:35] <varsendaggr> hey how do i save a session?
[05:35] <reZo> http://pastebin.ca/166645
[05:35] <varsendaggr> KanRiNiN, shoot
[05:35] <dr_willis_> aleka,  fire up synaptic and make sure its isntalled I guess.
[05:35] <KanRiNiN> apt-get can build stuff from source right?  So could it be used to rebuild, say the xvid package with my processor cflags?  like sse and sse2 optimization?
[05:35] <dannyr> Is there a particular repos in soures.list file that I should have
[05:35] <dr_willis_> varsendaggr,  system/preferances/session
[05:36] <bruenig> aleka, try this "ooffice -writer", assuming you want to word processor, also are you sure you have it installed
[05:36] <chew1> To enable the driver, run "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable".
[05:36] <bruenig> !source-o-matic
[05:36] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[05:36] <chew1> Error: your X configuration has been altered.
[05:36] <chew1> This script cannot proceed automatically. If you believe that this
[05:36] <chew1> not correct, you can update the md5sum entry executing the following
[05:36] <chew1> command:
[05:36] <chew1> md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum
[05:36] <chew1> otherwise edit manually /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the Driver section
[05:36] <chew1> from nv to nvidia.
[05:36] <gusto5> hello, how do i change the preferred acrobat program to adobe acrobat instead of document reader?
[05:37] <chew1> ive tried both
[05:37] <aleka> under synaptic I have openoffice.org debian files and common file installed... but so many packages...
[05:37] <aleka> which ones are the base packages
[05:37] <chew1> neither appear to work
[05:37] <reZo> TehUni: http://pastebin.ca/166645
[05:37] <varsendaggr> reZo,    hey there is a how to dual monitors on the ubuntu wiki
[05:37] <KanRiNiN> varsendaggr: did you understand that or should I rephrase it?
[05:37] <bruenig> aleka, open up a terminal and do this "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org"
[05:37] <bruenig> that will install everything
[05:37] <reZo> varsendaggr: Wicked, I'll take a look.
[05:37] <bruenig> if it is already installed it will say it is and won't install anything
[05:38] <aleka> yeah.. Just wanted to make sure I had it before i went and installed it again...
[05:38] <varsendaggr> KanRiNiN, i didn't see anyhting
[05:38] <aleka> would tht create any problems or would it just write over the old files?
[05:38] <varsendaggr> just a sec now i see it.
[05:38] <KanRiNiN> varsendaggr: apt-get can build stuff from source right?  So could it be used to rebuild, say the xvid package with my processor cflags?  like sse and sse2 optimization?
[05:38] <bruenig> aleka, if you already have some of the files, it won't install those
[05:38] <bruenig> aleka, if you have the word processor aspect but not the spreadsheet, It won't install the word processor part
[05:38] <varsendaggr> KanRiNiN, i would assume so but i really don't know
[05:39] <wx9j> aleka, try ooffice -writer
[05:39] <ComputinChuck> hey everyone
[05:39] <ckidd57> hi all
[05:39] <eaglescout> I can't get my Ubunu to install over itself.  How can I do that?  Is there a guide on that anywhere?
[05:39] <chew1> -sigh-
[05:39] <eaglescout> Ubuntu*
[05:40] <ComputinChuck> anyone know why ubuntu can blank (and turn off the back light) a laptop lcd and my slackware system can't?  is there an extra driver or just more testing?
[05:40] <bruenig> gusto5, changing default programs in gnome gives me a headache, generally I would just advocate a symlink, but document viewer is also used for some other stuff so that might pose a little problem
[05:41] <lavi> hi all
[05:41] <eaglescout> can anybody help me? I have a hard drive that isn't working and I need help. :(
[05:41] <dr_willis_> ComputinChuck,  proberly a kernel/apci update/tweak/patch
[05:41] <bruenig> eaglescout, are you in the live cd?
[05:41] <gusto5> bruenig, how about specifically in firefox?
[05:41] <Caplain> whats it not doing eaglescout?
[05:41] <bruenig> and did you do that stuff
[05:42] <bruenig> gusto5, adobe has a plugin
[05:42] <ComputinChuck> dr_willis_, hmm, would they be public domain? or ubuntu developed?
[05:42] <gusto5> i have the plugin installed for firefox
[05:42] <gusto5> but it won't ask to open it by default
[05:42] <lavi> I runing into a compiling problem with the headfile. ie. i wrote a simpl.c and there is a line #include <glib.h> inside,
[05:42] <KanRiNiN> OK.  I looked a bit more, and I can use the apt-get build-dep command, but if I do that will it include all my processor optimizations and how can I tell?  thanks!
[05:42] <eaglescout> okay, I tried the Live CD and it wouldn't install.  :/  it's not partitioning right.  it only did 2GB the first time and now it's not letting me install Linux on the 6GB that's left.
[05:42] <lavi> but I ran gcc simp.h it propmpt can not find glib.h file. why?
[05:43] <bruenig> gusto5, what do you mean it won't ask to open it by default, if you have the plugin it should just open it inside the browser
[05:43] <lavi> I'm sure the glib.h is there /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib.h
[05:43] <dr_willis_> ComputinChuck,  i imagine its in their source somewhere.. the ubuntu guys spent a LOT of time tweaking things for laptops
[05:43] <bruenig> gusto5, to just get it straight, you have installed mozilla-acroread?
[05:44] <ubuntu> what is port 7212? is it open on ubuntu?
[05:44] <wweasel> Can anyone shed some light on why OpenOffice isn't spellchecking on a default ubuntu install? Like, i
[05:44] <ComputinChuck> dr_willis_, i imagine they did, ubuntu is working wonderfully on my laptop right now, but i'm really a slackware user at heart...
[05:44] <wweasel>  type a bunch of gibberish and it sees no mistakes
[05:44] <bruenig> wweasel, is it 64 bit?
[05:44] <wweasel> No, 32
[05:45] <ubuntu> does anyone know what port 7212 is? I keepgetting scaned onit
[05:45] <dr_willis_> ComputinChuck,  yep..  it works dang good on my laptop also.. only thing not workign now is the muti-card-reader gizmo. and i think thats fixed in the next kernel
[05:45] <dr_willis_> google for it?
[05:45] <bruenig> wweasel, you have myspell-en-us installed?
[05:45] <ubuntu> did says unassigned
[05:45] <dr_willis_> could be the latest MS exploit
[05:45] <rus1> I need to use special characters (to write in German) and to insert one under windows I can press alt and a series of numbers on the num pad - is there a way to do something like this in Ubuntu?
[05:45] <ckidd57> does anybody know how to get the wireless working on an HP nx9010?
[05:45] <dr_willis_> or some punk kids
[05:45] <ubuntu> i think its a linux thing like port 5900
[05:45] <wweasel> bruenig
[05:46] <ComputinChuck> dr_willis_, yea, my card reader isn't working either
[05:46] <bruenig> rusl, I know there are a lot of characters in Applications>Accessories>Character Map, but alt characters no
[05:46] <eaglescout> can anybody help me?
[05:46] <wweasel> !ask
[05:46] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:46] <rus1> bruenig: Yeah, I've been doing it by copying them individually as I need them from the character map, but that takes awhile.
[05:46] <bruenig> eaglescout, are you still having disk space problems or did you figure it out to be something else
[05:47] <wweasel> bruenig: It is the same on 2 systems I have with Ubuntu, never played with dictionary or whatever settings in OO, doesn't work out of the box
[05:47] <bruenig> wweasel, so you want to file a bug report or try to make it work?
[05:47] <casey_> does anyone know what this means
[05:47] <casey_> No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.
[05:47] <eaglescout> I'm having problems.  I really just want to completley uninstall ubuntu so that I can install it with all 9 GB used, instead of just 2.2. :/
[05:47] <wweasel> bruenig: try to make it work. got a paper to write and it's getting late :P
[05:48] <bruenig> eaglescout, if you have an install cd, just put it in and click install
[05:48] <bruenig> wweasel, did you try to install that package I gave earlier?
[05:48] <aleka> Thanks So much Guys~
[05:48] <wweasel> bruenig: It comes by default with ubuntu. I already have it.
[05:48] <lakin> wweasel: might it be this? http://www.mepis.org/node/377
[05:48] <reter> i just installed java and websites still ask me to install java. what do i do?
[05:49] <eaglescout> bruenig: I do, but it won't install OVER the other Ubuntu, it just gives me an error warning me that it will overwrite other files, and it won't continue.
[05:49] <photojim> don't use java sites?  :)
[05:49] <wweasel> lakin: Afraid not, as I have myspell-en-us
[05:49] <reter> c'mon photojim
[05:49] <triplc> hello everybody
[05:49] <bruenig> eaglescout, yes it will. Just delete the partition and make new ones. Go to manually edit the partition table.
[05:49] <lakin> wweasel: aah, sorry I missed Bruenig's comment.
[05:50] <reter> photojim java is everywhere...i gotta have it to get on these sites
[05:50] <ComputinChuck> dr_willis_, there are some bb posts from google that i've found that seem to indicate that it can be done without any particular patches to the kernel
[05:50] <photojim> reter:  I haven't had good luck with Java and ubuntu yet, honestly.  still trying... but no success yet.  on 32-bit Ubuntu I can get Java installed and kinda working but FF exits when the app starts, whichi s useless.
[05:50] <luckyaba> i just installed Ubuntu and there is a nice long list of updates..... i have had issues in the past with them. Should i be safe updating?
[05:50] <AngryElf_> so "Grub Loading Stage 1.5Read Error" is a very bad thing, yes?.....can i reinstall grub somehow?
[05:50] <photojim> luckyaba: you should be ok.
[05:50] <triplc> please help: i am using ubuntu dapper (<IP_ADDRESS>) but i see that bluefish is slow (especially the page rolling).
[05:50] <eaglescout> I did do that.  It still won't work. :(  I'
[05:50] <dr_willis_> ComputinChuck,  i just plug in my spare usb-media reader. :P
[05:51] <__mikem> AngryElf_  you will need a live CD but you can fix that
[05:51] <ComputinChuck> dr_willis_, haha, whatever works
[05:51] <eaglescout> I'll try again.  I'll get on IRC on ubuntu. brb
[05:51] <reter> photojim what is ff ?
[05:51] <dr_willis_> ComputinChuck,  makes ya wonder how the laptop makers are putting the things in.. i would figure wireing it to a usb port would be easier.
[05:51] <luckyaba> photojim: i am coming after you if it screws up them :P
[05:51] <bruenig> wweasel, you could try sudo apt-get install openoffice.org, if it is one of the packages referred to in that meta package, it will hopefully install, maybe not but worth a try
[05:51] <triplc> please help: i am using ubuntu dapper (<IP_ADDRESS>) but i see that bluefish is slow (especially the page rolling). i learn that the lattest version of bluefish is faster. could you please help, how to get that faster version to work
[05:51] <luckyaba> then**
[05:51] <photojim> luckyaba:  yep.  I'm on Baffin Island.  really.  honestly.  yup.  :)
[05:51] <jmoncayo> hey can somebody tell me the slackware channel?
[05:51] <dr_willis_> be nice to have a replaceable/standard sized one for future kinds of media readers..
[05:51] <ComputinChuck> dr_willis_, no kidding, they always have to make things complicated though
[05:51] <luckyaba> haha
[05:52] <photojim> reter:  ff.  firefox.
[05:52] <dr_willis_> I tought a little usb bay for a USB-media stick would be handy as well. but thats more space i guess
[05:52] <wweasel> bruenig: I already have openoffice.org package installed
[05:52] <ckidd57> could anybody help me with getting my wireless working on my laptop so I don't have to go back toxp?
[05:52] <ubuntu> does anyone know why <IP_ADDRESS> scans all my ports when i am in this group?
[05:52] <__mikem> AngryElf_ just put in the live cd, mount your filesystem, and do dpkg-reconfigure grub
[05:53] <AngryElf_> will do
[05:53] <bruenig> wweasel, should work, don't know why it wouldn't
[05:53] <drcode> hi all
[05:53] <wweasel> bruenig: Does it on your system?
[05:53] <DavidW2> [17179825.704000]  Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

[05:54] <dr_willis_> !rar
[05:54] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[05:54] <dr_willis_> there ya go. :)
[05:54] <dr_willis_> pick one.
[05:54] <AngryElf_> on an unrelated note......how do i completely filter an ip from accessing my box?.....i have a linksys router/firewall if it can be done better there
[05:54] <drcode> k

[05:55] <wweasel> bruenig: AHA! I got it!

[05:56] <billybennett> Anyone here familar with gnome-network-manager for use with WPA?
[05:56] <Caplain> is there an ntfs to ext3 converter?
[05:56] <bruenig> !ntfs
[05:56] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[05:56] <wweasel> billybennett: Yes
[05:56] <Tonren> How do I disable NetworkManager Applet?
[05:57] <DavidW2> How come usb storage doesn't find any devices?
[05:57] <wweasel> Caplain: The answer to the question is no. Not like there is from FAT32 to NTFS.
[05:57] <billybennett> wweasel, I had it a little while back and it worked great but I forgot to take note on how I installed it.  I followed the simple tutorial which was just apt get and its showing my wired network but not my wireless
[05:58] <wweasel> Caplain: If you wanted to move from an NTFS partition to an ext3 partition, you would have to backup your data on another partition, change your NTFS partition to ext3 (all data will be lost), then restore your backup
[05:58] <wweasel> billybennett: Most likely you didn't comment out stuff in /etc/network/interfaces - gedit that file and check
[05:58] <wweasel> billybennett: What you have to do is comment out everything but the two "lo" lines (those are loopback)
[05:58] <Caplain> anyone have a spare 250GB hdd?
[05:59] <__mikem> Caplain yes, just let me pull one out of my but
[05:59] <wweasel> Caplain: You could always be evil and buy one from whatever store, use it, wipe it, return it. :P
[06:00] <billybennett> wweasel, okay I did that.. I guess a restart would be best correct?
[06:00] <wweasel> billybennett: Yeah, it's probably necessary. COme back and tell me how it went :)
[06:01] <Caplain> wweasel: what do they run at pricewise?
[06:01] <wweasel> __mikem :) not that I have every done a thing like that.... :P oh, the Future Shop Swap. Good times.
[06:01] <wweasel> Caplain: No idea.
[06:01] <billybennett> wweasel, thanks brb
[06:01] <Caplain> __mikes, thats butt*
[06:01] <wweasel> Caplain: you are using a full 250 gigs on your NTFS partition
[06:01] <AngryElf_> does ubuntu have any log watchers?
[06:02] <wweasel> Caplain: And please tell me you have some way of backing up your data... :P

[06:04] <james296> so how do I get rid of it?
[06:04] <RedRose> but I do ln /usr/src/linux build and it gives me a directory error
[06:05] <wweasel> Caplain: I understand. I had 2 questions. Do you use the entire 250 GB, or is there some free space? And, do you backup your data ever?
[06:05] <billybennett> wweasel, works so far now I gotta setup WPA2 on my router :) thank you very much!
[06:05] <AngryElf_> if mount spits out I/O errors on a filesystem, what's the best thing to do?
[06:05] <wweasel> billybennett: np ;)
[06:05] <dr_willis_> 'panic'
[06:06] <sp0rk> AngryElf_: fsck it?
[06:06] <wweasel> dr_willis_: lol!
[06:06] <jc> can anyone tell me why apt-get install would fail when trying to reinstall a package, or how to get dpkg-reconfigure to recreate init.d scripts?
[06:06] <HLM> f4t4l :  try  1-204-876-5309 O:-)
[06:06] <Caplain> wweasel:  i have two drives that equal 250GB and i dont have anything to back my data up to
[06:06] <axisys> StoneNote: which instruction you followed for ndiswrapper
[06:06] <Tonren> Doesn't ANYONE know how to get rid of this horrible NetworkManager Applet?
[06:06] <iceman> now the dreadful part, installing nvidia drivers.
[06:07] <wweasel> Caplain: Sounds like it would be a good investment then. You never know when the demons known as hard drive failure will strike.
[06:07] <axisys> Tonren: u can disable in sessions startup
[06:07] <dr_willis_> iceman,  normally takes me less then 4 min.
[06:07] <wweasel> Caplain: But that's for the future. For the moment, you need some way of converting NTFS to ext3?
[06:07] <dr_willis_> Tonren,  ps ax  - get the pid.. kill it
[06:07] <AngryElf_> sp0rk,  fsck doesn't work....attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in a short read....could this be a 0-length partition?
[06:07] <AngryElf_> :(
[06:07] <dr_willis_> Tonren,  or use the gnome session manager tool
[06:07] <Tonren> dr_willis_: I can kill it, but it always comes back on the next boot
[06:07] <wweasel> Caplain: I'd imagine that's because you want read/write access in Linux...read isn't gonna cut it, right?
[06:08] <AngryElf_> across hda1, hda2, hda3, hda5  :-/
[06:08] <iceman> dr_willis takes longer to reboot normaly, but a new system, never know
[06:08] <Tonren> dr_willis_: I've removed it from my session about forty times.  It STILL comes back.
[06:08] <jc> can anyone help me with apt?  I'm much more familiar with fedora/rpm and I can't figure out why apt-get install doesn't recreate scripts upon reinstallation?
[06:08] <dr_willis_> Tonren,   normally people are in here.. trying to get it running.
[06:08] <iceman> !nvidia
[06:08] <james296> how do I get rid of that dialog in azureus???
[06:08] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:08] <Tonren> dr_willis_: It's ALWAYS wrong, it has NO configuration options.  What does it even do?  I have no idea.  All I know is that it ALWAYS says "No connection", no matter what.  Jesus does it suck.
[06:08] <Caplain> wweasel: correct
[06:08] <wweasel> Caplain: Well, until you have somewhere to backup your data and change the partition type, I recommend you check out read/write in ntfs
[06:08] <dr_willis_> Tonren,  go hardcore.. and totally remove all the .gnome and .gconf dirs and setting?
[06:08] <bruenig> james296, install the beta or restart azureus
[06:09] <dr_willis_> Tonren,  its the only tool that works for me. :)
[06:09] <james296> I did restart
[06:09] <wweasel> Caplain: Rather, in linux.
[06:09] <Tonren> dr_willis_: hahaha, it's like in windows.  "DELETE SYSTEM32 DIRECTORY"
[06:09] <dr_willis_> Tonren,  im convinced that Wireless in General.. sucks...
[06:09] <Caplain> wweasel: is it safe?
[06:09] <sp0rk> AngryElf_: hm...possibly a hardware failure?  i would, in that case, 'panic'
[06:09] <james296> but how do I make it so I can actually click the Hide button to hide it?
[06:09] <AngryElf_> :-/
[06:09] <Caplain> dr_willis_: #wireless
[06:09] <jc> tap tap, is this thing on ?  ;)  pls don't make me go back to fedora...
[06:09] <bruenig> james296, it is a bug, only fixed in the new betas
[06:09] <Tonren> dr_willis_: I didn't say anything about wireless.  Network manager is just ALWAYS wrong.
[06:09] <AngryElf_> it's just a workstation, but i dont really want to set everything up again
[06:09] <f4t4l`> Is PM not working?
[06:09] <dr_willis_> Caplain,  ive ran wires now.. :P wireless is rarely needed for me.
[06:09] <james296> oh really
[06:09] <sp0rk> AngryElf_: it happens...generally bad bits that cause IO errors can be easily fixed with fsck, but if fsck can't even run you've got bigger problems
[06:10] <wweasel> Caplain: Well, not fully. It's not stable yet. It is pretty good, many people use it. But there are always warnings and disclaimers
[06:10] <james296> I hate using betas...grrrr....
[06:10] <dr_willis_> Tonren,  remove the packqge then?
[06:10] <wweasel> !tell Caplain about ntfs
[06:10] <sp0rk> AngryElf_: don't quote me, though, my unix skills are getting rusty now that i've entered the real world
[06:10] <StoneNote> axisys, I downloaded ndiswrapper from http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ and then used ark to extract it and followed the INSTALL directions that I extracted.  I found my wireless cards most current drivers on the mfr site in taiwan
[06:10] <james296> how do I install the beta.,..
[06:10] <sp0rk> heh and now that i'm using ubuntu
[06:10] <bruenig> james296, what you ought to do is remove the repository one "apt-get remove azureus" and install the other one from the website and then follow thier instructions on how to update the one on their website to the beta
[06:10] <sp0rk> it makes you lazy
[06:10] <Tonren> dr_willis_: What's the package name?  It's not nmapplet and it's not networkmanager.
[06:10] <vasi> hi, is the kernel in the ubuntu installer CD the same as the one installed onto the target system?
[06:11] <dr_willis_> apt-cache search network-manager
[06:11] <Tonren> dr_willis_: I can't actually DELETE it using Gnome Session startup manager
[06:11] <vasi> (i need to patch the kernel to get the installer to run, so i need to know if there are any changes i should make in order to build a replacement kernel)
[06:11] <Tonren> dr_willis_: I can onlY "disable" it, which oesn't work
[06:11] <sp0rk> anyone know a hotkey combo for moving through windows in irssi?  I'm having a brainfart.
[06:11] <bruenig> betas are fine, especially when they are unimportant things like bittorrent. Unless the beta made you unable to pirate things, it is ok if it messes everything else up.
[06:11] <sp0rk> /windows goto 4
[06:12] <sp0rk> /windos goto 4
[06:12] <sp0rk> wtf.
[06:12] <dr_willis_> alt-1 i thought throught 9
[06:12] <sp0rk> yeah thats what i thought, but it's not working
[06:12] <Flannel> sp0rk: or alt-left/right
[06:12] <dr_willis_> sp0rk,  try it in the console.. it could be the wikdiw manager/terminal prog is grabbing the keys
[06:12] <sp0rk> i think ionwm has taken over my mod keys
[06:12] <sp0rk> dr_willis_: yeah
[06:12] <dr_willis_> Bingo sp0rk
[06:13] <sp0rk> oh well
[06:13] <Flannel> and, it's /window goto $
[06:13] <Flannel> er, #
[06:13] <sp0rk> yeah, i got that haha
[06:13] <sp0rk> typos =P
[06:13] <Tonren> Does ANYONE know what the deal with NetworkManager Applet is?  It's driving me crazy.
[06:14] <FirstStrike> What IS the deal?
[06:14] <jbmigel> Tonren i know the deal... 3 queens and a low spade
[06:14] <wweasel> Tonren: What's wrong with it?
[06:14] <casey_> does anyone know how to fix this?
[06:14] <sp0rk> jbmigel: that's a good deal
[06:14] <casey_> No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.
[06:14] <casey_> what does this Mean?
[06:15] <wweasel> casey_: I am guessing here, but maybe you need gstreamer-plugins-base or good?
[06:15] <bruenig> casey_, do you have the gstreamer stuff
[06:15] <casey_> yeah I think so
[06:15] <Tonren> wweasel: Okay... first off: It has NO configuration options.  You can ONLY disable/enable it.  Next: It's ALWAYS wrong.  When I'm connected (wired OR wireless), it says "no connections."  Third: I CAN'T GET RID OF IT!  The "Delete" option in GNOME startup session manager is grayed out, and I "Disabled" it but it's STILL there.
[06:15] <casey_> it works on my user but not on a new user I created
[06:15] <nmnguyet> hi
[06:15] <casey_> so I know it works
[06:15] <wweasel> Tonren: Uninstall it in synaptic.
[06:16] <dr_willis_> wweasel,  :P thats sort of what i said
[06:16] <nmnguyet> after installed libc6, locales is now broken
[06:16] <jbmigel> Tonren, you know your right... it isn't a very good applet
[06:16] <nmnguyet> how can i do?
[06:16] <wweasel> Tonren: But it sounds like it is partcularly screwed on your system, cause I use it and so do many I know and it works quite well.
[06:16] <Tonren> wweasel: dr_willis_: AH!  There it is.  dr_willis_ I didn't notice that you gave me the package name before, thanks
[06:16] <Tonren> wweasel: I do everything via the comand line anyway
[06:16] <dr_willis_> Tonren,  several packagtes actually.
[06:16] <sp0rk> Tonren: you could aways try to uninstall it if you find out what the package name is in apt, you really don't *need* it for wireless connectivity
[06:17] <wweasel> Tonren: On this channel I tend to assume people want the GUI way
[06:17] <Tonren> wweasel: Not me.  ;P
[06:17] <Tonren> sp0rk: I just use CLI anyway
[06:17] <wweasel> Toren, jbmigel: I would say it has alot of room for improvement. But I find it an improvement over the included network managing tools
[06:17] <Tonren> wweasel: Actually, recently Ubuntu no longer runs "dhclient" on eth0 on bootup, and I have to run it myself every time I log in.  :\
[06:17] <Tonren> wweasel: I can't figure out what the problem with that is.
[06:17] <sp0rk> Tonren: yeah, just do some research and untinstall it, is what i'd do.  I haven't had any issues with it, but you problem sounds annoying
[06:18] <ToHellWithGA> how can i clean my package archive?  i'd like to remove all packages that are currently not installed, particularly packages that have newer versions installed now
[06:18] <Tonren> sp0rk: Yeah, I uninstalled it w/ aptitude
[06:18] <wweasel> Tonren: Check out /etc/network/interfaces - if you are uninstalling network-manager-gnome, you want everything in there uncommented.
[06:19] <Tonren> wweasel: Everything was anyway :\
[06:19] <casey_> how do I view all of the members of the groups I have
[06:19] <djperegrin1> subversion
[06:19] <djperegrin1> how do you get subversion :O
[06:19] <sp0rk> so i bought some hard cider thinking my girlfriend is going to be up here this weekend, and she coudln't make it up, and so i'm left with only hard cider to drink because i drank all my beer.  This is a travesty.
[06:19] <djperegrin1> what sources do I have to add
[06:19] <djperegrin1> ?
[06:20] <dr_willis_> ToHellWithGA,  i recall a smartclean/clean option - but i forget which apt-XYZ program used it.
[06:20] <nmnguyet> i need to reinstall glibc-2.3.2.ds1-20ubuntu15 but libc6 is sellected instead of
[06:20] <Nep8750> bong the cider
[06:20] <Tonren> Does anyone know what Automatix does to install flash support in Firefox, and how to get rid of it?  Because it doesn't work.
[06:20] <ToHellWithGA> i found something on the wiki that might help, dr_willis_.  if that doesn't work, i'll be back in a few minutes :)
[06:20] <casey_> how do I check the users in the groups
[06:20] <sp0rk> Nep8750: you know...that would actually be decently pleasant
[06:21] <casey_> because I think this user needs to be part of a certain group
[06:21] <nmnguyet> how can i remove libc6? please help!
[06:21] <littlekiss> ?
[06:21] <dr_willis_> apt-get  autoclean
[06:21] <dr_willis_> :)
[06:22] <casey_> does anyone know how to view the groups
[06:22] <sp0rk> casey_: cat /etc/group
[06:22] <jbmigel> casey_ try groups
[06:22] <Kyral> groups
[06:22] <littlekiss> apt-get xxx remove
[06:22] <nmnguyet> dr_willis_: is it?
[06:22] <sp0rk> casey_: or even better cat /etc/group | more
[06:22] <Kyral> s/more/less
[06:22] <dr_willis_> nmnguyet,  listed right there in the man pages..
[06:23] <casey_> thanks
[06:23] <sp0rk> psh, i like more.
[06:23] <sp0rk> more > less
[06:23] <jbmigel> less!
[06:23] <Kyral> most!
[06:23] <dr_willis_> Like clean, autoclean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files.
[06:23] <sp0rk> though i'm also used to bsd more, which is better than gnu more
[06:24] <sp0rk> much more intuitive in it's navigation
[06:24] <CiRuS> has anyone else lost the "admin" group??
[06:24] <sp0rk> CiRuS: i have not
[06:24] <CiRuS> It disappeared somewhere around the gnome 2.16 update
[06:24] <CiRuS> hmm
[06:24] <EpP> I had to reformat my windows partition... but my linux is still intact. But i lost my GRUB... so i cant boot anything... how do i restore it, im on the live cd now.
[06:24] <jbmigel> wow there are alot of default groups. it looks like the windows registry in there!
[06:25] <dr_willis_> !grub
[06:25] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto

[06:25] <triplc> please help: if i mix edgy and dapper, please tell me what "priority" i need to set for dapper and edgy?
[06:25] <dr_willis_> nmnguyet,  what is? ive totally frogotten what i had for dinner.. much less your problem.. :P
[06:25] <triplc> please help: if i mix edgy and dapper, please tell me what "priority" i need to set for dapper and edgy? (file: /etc/apt/preferences)
[06:26] <dr_willis_> Im lucky to rember my own nickname.
[06:26] <triplc> (i want to have latest blue fish)
[06:26] <matthew_w> One very odd question, is there a way to send a text message to my phone via the command line?
[06:26] <nmnguyet> well, i installed libc6 and then glibc2.3.2 was remocved
[06:26] <nmnguyet> so locales is removed now
[06:26] <nmnguyet> I cannot reconfigure locales anymore
[06:27] <CiRuS> so what I don't get is that there is no admin group but I can still sudo .... weird
[06:27] <triplc> nmnguyet: ban la nguoi Viet nam a?
[06:27] <Jenga> When compiling a kernel, is there a way to go back to the configuration from the previous compile if there are only a couple of things you want to change?
[06:27] <dr_willis_> Err.. you are messing with things that are best left alone when ya start messing with libc and glibc :P
[06:27] <nmnguyet> triplc, u`

[06:28] <iceman> now i am booted to the live system
[06:28] <graft> Jenga: you can copy your old .config somewhere and restore it later
[06:28] <dr_willis_> Jenga,  its stored in a . file..    .config (I think)
[06:29] <Jenga> where?
[06:29] <axisys> StoneNote: thnx.. i am using Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG card
[06:29] <triplc> someone please help me: if i mix edgy and dapper, please tell me what "priority" i need to set for dapper and edgy? (file: /etc/apt/preferences)
[06:29] <dr_willis_> Jenga,  in the linxu source dir where the kernel source is
[06:29] <dr_willis_> !kernel
[06:29] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux').   I have it working on one of my linux boxen but not the other.
[06:30] <nmnguyet> triplc, ban lam viec o dau vay?
[06:30] <Jenga> dr_willis_: Thanks. So, can I just open that file with qconf and start from there?
[06:30] <BMWodarski> oh nvm
[06:30] <vincenz> Why is checkinstall being kept back?
[06:30] <billybennett> yeah I can see the AP..... Ive had it working with WPA1 a couple weeks ago
[06:30] <iceman> mount the harddrive, reconfigur ever stinking thing, reboot. shoot
[06:30] <triplc> nmnguyet, minh lam o HanoiCTT, giang day ve Linux
[06:30] <Tonren> vincenz: That's been happening to me, too.  I don't know why.
[06:30] <RogerRabb> Hey, I've shared a few folders in ubuntu, and I'm trying to access it from a windows machine.. it's asking for a username and password, but the ones I enter (my linux username and password) isn't working..Any idea?
[06:30] <billybennett> before I re-installed :P
[06:30] <vincenz> It tells me to "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" so I do and it tells me that still it is being kept back
[06:30] <vincenz> Tonren: ah, odd
[06:30] <BMWodarski> I don't mess with wpa just because it's a pain in the ass
[06:30] <Tonren> RogerRabb: Have you tried leaving it blank?
[06:31] <smoked1> If I install something that is for kde will it work with gnome?
[06:31] <EpP> what partition would my bootloader be on?
[06:31] <Tonren> smoked1: Yes.
[06:31] <wweasel> billybennett: I would recommend you put your router in WPA2 Mixed mode (can accept WPA standard connections)
[06:31] <RogerRabb> yep I have Tonren
[06:31] <nmnguyet> triplc, chac gioi lam:d nho ban xem ho cai loi nay ho minh

[06:31] <RogerRabb> tried just user without password, and tried password without username..I don't know if it's the right password or at all.. it works for logging into ubuntu over ssh fine and such
[06:32] <billybennett> wweasel, my modes are WPA2 Only, WPA2, WPA  .. my guess WPA2

[06:32] <Tonren> RogerRabb: Try tooling around with System -> Administration -> Shared Folders
[06:32] <kupesoft> How can i get my system to beep (using PHP)
[06:32] <billybennett> what about.. tkip or AES
[06:32] <BMWodarski> anyone know of a way to get a 3d desktop working? I ot the 3d desktop app from synaptic but it doesn't run constanly always have to run it from console
[06:32] <wweasel> billybennett: To be honest, the improvements between WPA and WPA2 are negligible.  If you have a good 64 char full ascii character no one will crack regular WPA in a hundred years.
[06:32] <iceman> stupid "Nvidia" drivers.
[06:32] <RogerRabb> Tonren yeah that's how I shared them.. didn't see any option to set a username or password in there
[06:32] <wweasel> billybennett: full ascii password is what I meant. God it's too late here.
[06:33] <elkbuntu> triplc, is there no loco channel for whichever asian dialect you are speaking?
[06:33] <Tonren> RogerRabb: Hmmm...
[06:33] <nmnguyet> triplc, dinh den may goi lib nay so that, thoi cam on ban nhe:)
[06:33] <wweasel> billybennett: And yes, I'd imagine that if you set it to WPA2 you could connect with regular WPA.
[06:33] <smoked1> Anyone here ever get Ubuntu to connect to a Sonicwall VPN?
[06:33] <iceman> a simple step by freaking step install guide would be great
[06:33] <billybennett> wweasel, I'm not as familar with WPA as I'am with WEP... I thought WPA wasnt using ascii characters just a pre-share key
[06:33] <triplc> elkbuntu, sorry, just one or two words. sorry, back to english now
[06:33] <Flashq009> hello all
[06:34] <triplc> elkbuntu, btw, no local chan for vietnamese
[06:34] <graft> iceman: what's the prob? they should just pop in... what're you doing that's so rough and tough?
[06:34] <sp0rk> iceman: for some reason they installed without any trouble for me
[06:34] <wweasel> billybennett: Yeah, it uses a pre shared key. That is in ascii. But after that, it is modulating the encryption (so that it can't be cracked like WEP).
[06:34] <elkbuntu> triplc, it would be worth looking into establishing one
[06:34] <Tonren> Is there native AMD64 flash and Wine support, yet?
[06:34] <billybennett> wweasel, gotcha :) WEP is an easy kill lol... <20 mins
[06:34] <iceman> graft in tried, rebooted, reset bios to the card, and the system just hung at hardware detection stage.
[06:35] <kaitlyn> Hello, if I try to start X manually, I get the following error: "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
[06:35] <graft> iceman: are you installing from the repos or from nvidia website?
[06:35] <iceman> graft repos
[06:35] <kaitlyn> " and am wondering if anyone has seen this before or knows how to fix it?
[06:35] <Flashq009> I just finished installing Ubuntu on a computer.  Now I want to be able to use Remote Desktop, which I have already enabled.  I would like to access it from a windows computer, but cannot seem to get it to work,  Any hellp is appreciated.  Thanks
[06:35] <graft> reset bios to the card?
[06:35] <triplc> elkbuntu, migh be so.
[06:36] <RogerRabb> Tonren any idea?
[06:36] <wweasel> billybennett: If WPA2 doesn't want to work, use WPA and don't lose any sleep over it. The difference between the two is slight and not particularly important.
[06:36] <elkbuntu> triplc, i've PM'd you a howto link
[06:36] <Tonren> RogerRabb: Sorry man, I got nothin'...
[06:36] <iceman> graft has onboard video, have to instll using it, the install the nvidia drivers and reset bios to the card then bring up linux
[06:36] <AngryElf_> Flashq009, remote desktop in ubnut is vnc
[06:36] <kaitlyn> Notes:  Starting from inside an X session (Trying to run a second configuration with -screen that let's me use my TV for playing media)
[06:36] <AngryElf_> Flashq009, download a realVNC client for windows
[06:36] <billybennett> wweasel, alrighty... any thoughts on TKIP vs AES or both?
[06:36] <thedash> does it mean anything in particular if the system monitor reports my entire RAM as being cached?
[06:36] <vincenz> Hmm, is there any work on other support mechanisms than IRC?  I think that as the number of users grow, IRC becomes unmanageable (text goes by too fast)
[06:37] <Flashq009> AngryElf_: Will the Ultravnc viewer work?
[06:37] <someone> there's an ubuntu wiki & fourms
[06:37] <jbmigel> vincenz there is a forum if you cant keep up here
[06:37] <billybennett> brb wweasel gonna restart the router (ugg)
[06:37] <AngryElf_> Flashq009, i've only ever used realVNC, yours might
[06:37] <wweasel> billybennett: To be honest, I am curious about that.  I think AES is technically better. But once again, it didn't work on Ubuntu, so I use TKIP.
[06:37] <kaitlyn> vincenz: With a good client, and people using your name to address you, you can have message hilights that make it easy for you to keep up with.  Forums/message boards and email lists probably also exist.
[06:38] <iceman> graft i'm reinstalling, then i'll try again. by the time I would mount the drive, get premissions, reconfig the files,  reboot, i can reinstall
[06:38] <bug_> hi everyone.. is this the correct channel for edgy questions/problems?
[06:38] <Flashq009> AngryElf: I tried it the ultra vnc but it could not connect it kept saying connecting.
[06:38] <vincenz> jbmigel: I was listening to a speech by mark shuttleworth he gave in poland (was looking through his blog, then found that wiki page, and then saw he gavea speech).  He made a comment regarding a new system, is this going to be used? A mentor-mentee system?
[06:38] <wweasel> billybennett: Really, WPA + TKIP is pretty damn secure. I know that. I use a randomly generated full ascii PSK, so I feel very safe. In terms of AES/TKIP, I set it to both.
[06:38] <vincenz> kaitlyn: oh I know, but if you're not someone being helped but someone helping... I use irrsi personally and that works great :)
[06:38] <gnaff> bug_, no, but it will be funny to see you ask
[06:38] <wweasel> !edgy
[06:38] <Flashq009> AngryElf: I wil download realvnc viewer and see if that will work.
[06:38] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[06:39] <iceman> 97% done already :)
[06:39] <billybennett> I dont know what my router is generating after I do the pre-share key... Ive got a Dlink router with the "game fuel" it seems like a very good consumer router
[06:39] <bug_> ah.. thanks. i'll head over there now
[06:39] <kaitlyn> vincenz: irssi for me also.  :)
[06:39] <jbmigel> vincenz that sounds like a nice idea if you have committed members. Would be difficult to "mentor" a person that is only around for 3 minutes
[06:39] <kaitlyn> vincenz: Screen + irssi on a home server works great.  :)
[06:39] <vincenz> kaitlyn: I wish it were able to pass over an http proxy, at work we have an http proxy so I have to use GAIM :/
[06:39] <vincenz> kaitlyn: definitely :)
[06:39] <iceman> someone got a minute in a few to walk me through the nvidia install
[06:40] <billybennett> wweasel, brb gotta restart this thing :)
[06:40] <wweasel> billybennett: For that kinda detail, I would do some reasearch.  The basic idea is that cracking WEP is like stealing candy from a baby with dull teeth.  Cracking WPA is brute forcing.
[06:40] <vincenz> jbmigel: true, there were some people objecting to the idea because it might lead to a lot of "spammy question" and not real requests for mentorship
[06:40] <wweasel> Billybennett: k, talk to you soon
[06:40] <kaitlyn> vincenz: If you have a home linux server, why not use ssh forwarding?  Or use irssi and bitlbee?
[06:40] <iceman> ok reboot :)
[06:40] <vincenz> kaitlyn: well I typically turn my linux server off as of late cause my CPU fan makes a s*tload of noise, besides I have my own laptop which  I shuttle back and forth to the office,
[06:41] <vincenz> kaitlyn: but I'll look into bitlbee
[06:41] <rayston> I just installed xubuntu on this ancient compaq, and I go to login for the first time and it says that it cannot write to my authorization file because my HD is full
[06:41] <rayston> it is a rather small HD, 1.3 gigs
[06:41] <rayston> anyone know any files I can delete from the default install without hurting anything?
[06:42] <jbmigel> rayston i think the default install is only a cd in size right
[06:42] <vincenz> kaitlyn: oh, no I think you misunderstood me.  Ihave to use GAIM to contact IRC because GAIM has the http-proxy possibility, irssi does not, or at least I haven't figured out how to set it up.  I know it is strange, but all our traffic goes over that proxy, we even have a perl script to tunnel ssh over it
[06:42] <kaitlyn> vincenz: It is pretty cool.  You connect to it as if it's an irc server, and it gateways AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Jabber, and I think others.
[06:43] <kaitlyn> vincenz: SOCKS4, SOCKS5?
[06:43] <vincenz> kaitlyn: HTTP
[06:43] <rayston> it says you need a minimum of 1.4 gigs
[06:43] <vincenz> kaitlyn: That's the option that works at least.  that's also why GAIM works and amsn doesnt
[06:44] <gnaff> vincenz, irssi does http proxies
[06:44] <kaitlyn> vincenz: Hmmm, googled, doesn't seem like it will do that.
[06:45] <gnaff> vincenz, i use it with Tor and Privoxy all the time
[06:45] <vincenz> gnaff: ah neat :)  I tried just setting the http_proxy setting but that didn't do it
[06:45] <vincenz> kaitlyn: anyways, bitlbee looks nonetheless like a neat app :)
[06:46] <varsendaggr> where do i edit my virtual desktops
[06:46] <billybennett> wweasel, WPA2 w/ TKIP did the trick! w00t!
[06:46] <jbmigel> rayston you can probably remove openoffice and free up alot of space if you dont need it.
[06:46] <iceman> !nvidia
[06:46] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:47] <wweasel> billybennett: Yay! I know from personal experience that Wireless is arguably the most important thing to get working in Linux. It certainly was for me.
[06:47] <billybennett> wweasel, yeah it was only for fun before.. but I moved into an apartment and there are ALOT of wireless signals... definately dont want anyone on it
[06:47] <anTiX_> help! my server is on it's knees and I'm not sure what's wrong.... :(
[06:48] <rayston> what folders are the program files in
[06:48] <anTiX_> what's the process [v6]  ? I got lots running...
[06:48] <vincenz> kaitlyn: so you're part of the ubuntu community?
[06:49] <iceman> ok, Nvidia 4000 card, thet would be which driver ? anyone
[06:49] <wweasel> billybennett: I can understand that. I've gone on roadtrips with my laptop and left netstumbler on. I think I logged about 2000 APs, a good sample, and it showed that 2/3s were unencrypted.
[06:50] <billybennett> wweasel, lol!
[06:50] <philwyett> iceman: Legacy driver
[06:50] <jbmigel> iceman can you run "glxinfo | grep direct" and tell me what is sayd
[06:50] <wweasel> billybennett: the other fun part was watching for funny AP names.
[06:50] <iceman> jbmigel sec
[06:50] <Flashq009> can someone please help me figure out how to connect  Ubuntu desktop which is already Enable for remote desktop from a windows computer.  thanks in advance.
[06:51] <EpP> in the live cd there is a thing to pass boot options... how would i boot my windows partition?
[06:51] <jbmigel> EpP id just remove the live cd and boot normally
[06:51] <iceman> jbmigel says direct rendering: Yes, but is that the onboard card ?
[06:52] <RogerRabb> Flashq009 grab a vnc viewer for windows.. then open that.. type in your ubuntu pcs ip address or computer name.. hit connect.. type in username and password
[06:52] <RogerRabb> and away you should go
[06:52] <RogerRabb> :)
[06:52] <jbmigel> iceman your 4000 card is already supported by xorg, no need for you to install anything
[06:52] <Flashq009>  RogerRabb:the vnc viewer does not seem to work
[06:53] <dr_willis_> Flashq009,  get an error message of some kind?
[06:53] <vincenz> kaitlyn, gnaff: something interesting: http://www.garion.org/irssi/irssi-proxy.php
[06:53] <EpP> jbmigel: i reinstalled windows.... it messed up grub and now gives me a error 17... so i cant get to my lenovo windows recovery.
[06:53] <iceman> jbmigel no cannot boot to the card, have to install to the onboard, then install the drivers, or teh system will lock up
[06:54] <Flashq009> dr_willis_:  the viewer continues to say "Attempting to connect to host..."
[06:54] <iceman> To me it looks like i want the GLX drive not the legacy driver
[06:54] <dr_willis_> Flashq009,  sounds almost liek a firewall is blocking it.
[06:54] <Flashq009> dr_willis_: in the vnc viewer, I put <IP_ADDRESS>:5900
[06:55] <kaitlyn> vincenz: You can do pretty much the same with screen+irssi.
[06:55] <dr_willis_> you sure you want 5900 ? i though ya told it :0 or :1 or so on. and it added the 5900+
[06:55] <vincenz> kaitlyn: oh I know, jsut sounded technically nifty :)
[06:55] <kaitlyn> vincenz: hehe.
[06:55] <philwyett> iceman: Yes you do need nvidia-glx. My bad I thought those had been pushed to legacy.
[06:55] <EpP> so how do i boot a ntfs or fat32 partition?
[06:55] <vincenz> kaitlyn: and he points out a reason not to use screen :P
[06:55] <kaitlyn> Grrr, must get this fixed.
[06:55] <Flashq009> dr_willis_:I will try with the :0
[06:56] <kaitlyn> vincenz: I don't lag when typing.  :)
[06:56] <iceman> philwyett thats why last install froze "wrong driver"
[06:56] <RogerRabb> is 5900 the right port Flashq009? Can't remember the default (which is what ubuntu uses - the default)
[06:56] <philwyett> iceman: Your motheroard has onboard graphics?
[06:56] <iceman> yes
[06:57] <Flashq009> dr_willis_:the same thing "Attempting to connect to host..."  I do not know where to access the firewall on the ubuntu desktop
[06:57] <philwyett> iceman: The GF is a card you have added?
[06:57] <iceman> philwyett unfortunately
[06:57] <kaitlyn> And... where I worked we only had 80, 443, 25, and 110 outgoing ports to use.    So I just ran the one sshd on 443.  :)
[06:57] <dr_willis_> Flashq009,  you sure windows is letting the request go out?
[06:57] <smoked1> Why when I install something from synapic and then go to uninstall it it does not uninstall the deoendencies that it installed?
[06:57] <levander> Anybody can tell me why certain directories get chopped of my PATH when I use sudo?
[06:57] <dr_willis_> Flashq009,  check 'iptables -l' see if ya got any firewalling rules set up.
[06:57] <iceman> philwyett yes, a old 400 64 meg card i have
[06:57] <iceman> 4000
[06:58] <iceman> Find the appropriate module for your kernel. For example, if you have linux-image-amd64-k8 installed, then you should install linux-restricted-modules-amd64-k8.
[06:58] <smoked1> Do I have to do them all one at a time?
[06:58] <philwyett> iceman: You have disabled the onboard adaptor how?
[06:58] <iceman> whats that part
[06:58] <Flashq009> dr_willis_: let me check
[06:58] <iceman> philwyett onboard is active in bio's, can only disable it there
[06:59] <iceman> philwyett but even disabled "ubuntu" will boot to the onboard and not see the card
[06:59] <godsmacko> how can i mount one nokia 3250?
[06:59] <AngryElf_>  the last time i installed ubuntu it took < 10 minutes.  Now its' taking "40 minutes" -- and the last HD that was in there succomed to major I/O errors...diagnosis?
[07:00] <levander> like if you put 'fortune' at the command line, you get the one line of output, if you put 'sudo fortune' you get 'command not found'
[07:00] <iceman> philwyett here i get lost installed the glx driver, but what kernel module do i get
[07:00] <Flashq009> dr_willis_: hey man, what a bummer, I forgot that stupeed norton firewall crap, it did not even tell me that the vnc viewer wanted to access the net
[07:00] <Flashq009> thanks
[07:00] <philwyett> iceman: Is there a jumper on the motherboard to diable the onboard adptor?
[07:00] <iceman> philwyett no jumper
[07:00] <Flashq009> dr_willis_:thank you
[07:01] <Flashq009> dr_willis_:problem solved
[07:01] <philwyett> iceman: You need to have nvidia-common and nvidia-glx installed
[07:01] <dr_willis_> Flashq009,  it was windows fault?!
[07:01] <iceman> whats the standard module for a P4 system install, the how-to says i need to install one
[07:02] <philwyett> iceman: They are the modules required. All other kernel modules are handled by other packaged and should be already installed.
[07:02] <Flashq009> dr_willis_:I think i pulled out all my hair after trying to figured this out. LOL
[07:02] <philwyett> s/packaged/packages
[07:02] <iceman> anyone what do i need for line 6 here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia on a Standard Pentium 4 install which one do i install
[07:03] <Flashq009> dr_willis_:that windows or norton or both
[07:04] <iceman> does the standard install use 386 or 686 modules ?
[07:04] <philwyett> 386
[07:05] <iceman> philwyett Non-free Linux 2.6.15 modules on 386 that module then ?
[07:05] <peruvian> hello everyone
[07:05] <sharap> I'm in 1280x1024 resolution and I started up AlienArena for the first time, after quitting it's stuck in 640x480 mode and I have to scroll around the screen with my mouse, how do I fix that?
[07:06] <sharap> nevermind, went to smaller resolution and back to 1280x1024 and it's fixed
[07:06] <philwyett> iceman: Yes
[07:07] <shannon> ok
[07:08] <iceman> philwyett well time to try a reboot "again"
[07:08] <iceman> brb i hope
[07:09] <Clodaus> Hey guys is there a linux command to clear the MBR? GRUB has somehow messed it up and now windows is unable to rewrite the MBR
[07:09] <Clodaus> or at least a way to get GRUB off the MBR
[07:10] <TC_> can someone please help me..i have windows xp on my c drive and ubuntu on my d drive..i had problems with xp so i reinstalled it on my c drive..i didnt touch my d drive but for some reason now grub doesnt load up..i think windows deleted the swap partition but im not sure what to do?
[07:10] <dr_willis_> Clodaus,  i dont think that can happen. windows should be able to write to the mbr.
[07:10] <dr_willis_> Clodaus,  you could use 'dd' to blank out the mbr.. but if used wrongly = blank out the hard drive
[07:11] <dr_willis_> TC_,  windows overwrote the MBR with its own. thus removeing the grub loader
[07:11] <dr_willis_> !grub
[07:11] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:11] <TC_> ty
[07:11] <TC_> so it is possible to reinstall grub and not touch my ubuntu?
[07:11] <Clodaus> Partition Magic gives me a parition error, and Vista's installation says it can't access the volume root when attempting to rewrite the MBR. Fdisk simply says it can't write it
[07:11] <TC_> like i have my ubuntu all set up good
[07:12] <Clodaus> I can try dd if there's nothing else I can do. I can't boot Windows with GRUB for some reason, tried everything. If I can do that then none of this will be aproblem
[07:13] <TC_> dr_willis_: is there no other way for me now other then to use a floppy?
[07:14] <dr_willis_> theres a dozen ways :P but it will benifit you to read up on grub and how tit works.
[07:14] <dr_willis_> You can boot the live cd, chroot over to the ubuntu installed system and rerun update-grub (i think)
[07:14] <cafuego> dr_willis_: Yes, you can.
[07:14] <TC_> dr_willis_:  that sounds great and all but if i have to spend ages learning how to get back into my ubuntu it will drive me nuts and prolly back to a format lol
[07:15] <TC_> "least tell me the best type of method i should look up..i want it back like it was before
[07:16] <TC_> dr_willis_:  ok thanx
[07:16] <dr_willis_> The Grub homepage has the definitive docs.
[07:16] <dr_willis_> #1 grub tip - it starts counting the drives at 0 :P not 1
[07:16] <dr_willis_> hda1 = hd0,0
[07:17] <fonz2591> hey all
[07:17] <TC_> what command do i need to get into root jus type chroot? im very new to linux
[07:17] <PhilKC> TC_, su?
[07:17] <TC_> no
[07:17] <sp0rk> Kr0ntab: i like your name.
[07:17] <fonz2591> type 'sudo' before a command
[07:18] <TC_> i mean if im on the live cd
[07:18] <TC_> and wanna get into my installed ubuntu
[07:18] <Kr0ntab> w0rd.  :-)
[07:18] <fonz2591> try passwod 'roor'
[07:18] <fonz2591> *password
[07:18] <fonz2591> *root
[07:18] <TC_> k
[07:18] <kingtut> Salutations!
[07:19] <fonz2591> wait..
[07:19] <fonz2591> i take it back
[07:19] <sp0rk> combining the kushian arts with unix, it's always a good thing to do
[07:19] <Kr0ntab> hehe
[07:19] <fonz2591> i think u can just do 'sudo' before a command..
[07:19] <fonz2591> and u don't need a passwd
[07:19] <TC_> u dont get what im saying
[07:19] <TC_> i am on the live cd as in not the installed type..but i wanna get into my installed ubuntu so i can update grub
[07:20] <bjorn_> TC_, I think 'man dchroot' will help you
[07:20] <TC_> bjorn ty
[07:20] <fonz2591> ah
[07:20] <fonz2591> k
[07:21] <bjorn_> TC_: sorry, my ba
[07:21] <bjorn_> TC_,  you want 'man chroot'
[07:21] <TC_> kk lol
[07:21] <TC_> ok im in
[07:21] <TC_> hmm looks wierd
[07:22] <bjorn_> do you know which drive ubuntu is on?
[07:22] <TC_> my D drive
[07:22] <TC_> hdb i think
[07:22] <_cerberus_> Is it possible to install a basic server install (i.e. no live cd, no X) from the ubuntu dapper desktop install cd?
[07:22] <bjorn_> ok, you have two physical drives ?
[07:22] <TC_> yes
[07:22] <bjorn_> not just one w/ multiple partitions
[07:22] <bjorn_> cool
[07:22] <bjorn_> so it might be
[07:22] <TC_> nah i got windows on a c master drive and ubuntu on d master
[07:22] <bjorn_> chroot /dev/hdb bash
[07:23] <TC_> k
[07:23] <TC_> chroot: cannot change root directory to /dev/hdb: Not a directory
[07:24] <bjorn_> ok
[07:24] <gnaff> TC_, don't do that, mount the existing install, then chroot into it
[07:24] <bjorn_> so you need to mount the partition first
[07:24] <TC_> i know my d drive is split in 2 for ubuntu
[07:24] <dr_willis_> You MOUNT the place.. then chroot into the dir
[07:24] <dr_willis_> :P
[07:24] <Clodaus> okay guys turns out I can't even reformat my HDD. I get a "bad argument/parameter" error from Partition Magic. any ideas on how to fix it before I go wiping it out?
[07:24] <_cerberus_> TC, /dev/hdb1
[07:24] <TC_> kk
[07:24] <bjorn_> TC_, and it should have been /dev/hdb1
[07:24] <gnaff> TC_,  mkdir /mnt/hdb1 ; mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1 ; chroot /mnt/hdb1
[07:25] <bjorn_> ^  yea, what he said :D
[07:25] <TC_> lol
[07:25] <TC_> ok i think im in
[07:25] <gnaff> sorry, i could only take so much ;)
[07:25] <TC_> o never mind
[07:25] <dr_willis_> mount -t proc none /media/hdc1/proc      and/OR   mount -o bind /dev /media/hdc1/dev          may be needed
[07:25] <bjorn_> lol,  I was about to get there ;D
[07:25] <TC_> root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# mkdir /mnt/hdb1 ; mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1 ; chroot /mnt/hdb1
[07:25] <TC_> mount: special device /dev/hdb1 does not exist
[07:25] <TC_> chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory
[07:25] <TC_> root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu#
[07:26] <TC_> opps sorry
[07:26] <gnaff> TC_, well what is your ubuntu install mounted on?
[07:26] <iceman> Freaking nvidia driver did not work again dambit
[07:26] <TC_> umm im sure its hdb1 and 2
[07:26] <TC_> hdb1 hdb2
[07:26] <gnaff> TC_, well try hdb2
[07:26] <TC_> k
[07:27] <TC_> grh none of them work
[07:27] <bjorn_> TC ls /dev/hd*
[07:27] <TC_> root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# ls /dev/hd*
[07:27] <TC_> /dev/hda  /dev/hdb
[07:28] <bjorn_> hmm, no partitions. . . wierd
[07:28] <TC_> i got windows on my C drive
[07:28] <TC_> pls dont say wierd
[07:28] <TC_> i will cry if i loss all my stuff
[07:28] <bjorn_> right, that's your two drives there
[07:28] <TC_> yeah
[07:28] <TC_> hda=windows
[07:28] <TC_> i think
[07:28] <bjorn_> should be
[07:29] <TC_> wierd i cant get into hdb
[07:29] <bjorn_> but you should have also /dev/hdb1
[07:29] <gnaff> TC_, well i'll let bjorn- help you find your installation
[07:29] <bjorn_> that'd be the first partition on the second ide drive
[07:29] <TC_> im nearly sure i had 3 hdb on D drive before i reinstalled windows on C drive but now i only got 2 hdb...the swap was deleted?
[07:30] <TiG4> Hi

[07:32] <TC_> /dev/sdb1   *           1       18700   150207718+  83  Linux
[07:32] <bjorn_> yea, there you go
[07:32] <TC_> /dev/sdb2           18701       19457     6080602+   5  Extended
[07:32] <matthew_w> CiRus; and with that would I be able to just go something like "send "haha this is a message ftw" to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or so?
[07:32] <gnaff> TC_, well, now mount and chroot into that puppy!
[07:32] <mythril> is there a way to disable networking setup during boot?
[07:32] <TC_> /dev/sdb5           18701       19457     6080571   82  Linux swap / Solaris
[07:32] <bjorn_> mount that, and . . .what he said :P
[07:33] <TC_> kk into sdb1?
[07:33] <bjorn_> you want /dev/sdb2
[07:33] <TC_> o ok
[07:33] <bjorn_> err 1
[07:33] <TC_> lol
[07:33] <CiRuS> matthew_w, not quite its a text based email client
[07:33] <TC_> why do i have a sdb5 and not sdb3?
[07:33] <gnaff> heh, i don't even know what he needs to fix once he's chrooted in
[07:34] <matthew_w> CiRuS; so... what would accomplish what I just said, then?
[07:34] <bjorn_> TC_ who knows, just how it does it I guess
[07:34] <TC_> o ok
[07:34] <TC_> anyways back to this crap ok which one of u is the master " this
[07:34] <_cerberus_> Is it possible to install ubuntu from the live cd if you only want a base install and the computer you're installing to doesn't meet the minimum requirements for the live cd?
[07:34] <TC_> there can be no mistakes hahahaha
[07:34] <tamacracker> Hey what's up guys?
[07:34] <TC_> rotf
[07:34] <TC_> bjorn_ ignored*
[07:34] <TC_> :P
[07:35] <CiRuS> matthew_w, not exactly no
[07:35] <gnaff> TC_,  mkdir /mnt/sdb2 ; mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/sdb2 ; chroot /mnt/sdb2
[07:35] <TC_> k
[07:35] <tamacracker> >.> that was a final fantasy member "bjorn"
[07:35] <TC_> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[07:35] <TC_> chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory
[07:35] <_cerberus_> With 5.10 you could simply type server at the install prompt, this doesn't work anymore
[07:35] <bjorn_> TC_ 'man grub-install'
[07:35] <TC_> that didnt work doh
[07:36] <bjorn_> TC_ oh, we're not there yet :D
[07:36] <TC_> no where now
[07:36] <TC_> not*
[07:36] <TC_> give it an hour or so
[07:36] <gnaff> TC_, lol, well you are very close haha. i have to go. Good luck bjorn-
[07:36] <mythril> is there a way to disable networking setup during boot?
[07:36] <TC_> see ya
[07:36] <noobie0057> never mind I got it
[07:36] <TC_> bjorn u cant leave
[07:37] <tamacracker> Does anyone know what's a reliable MP3 player for Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake addition?
[07:37] <TC_> i will kill myself in my sleep
[07:37] <CiRuS> matthew_w, but "mail" would
[07:37] <bjorn_> heh,  I'm not going anywhere (yet)
[07:37] <TC_> k
[07:37] <TC_> that didnt work
[07:37] <TC_> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[07:37] <TC_> chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory
[07:37] <TC_> gave me that
[07:37] <_cerberus_> tamacracker,  xmms with lame installed
[07:37] <tamacracker> amarok will not play mp3s even with xile
[07:37] <bjorn_> although I just noticed my nic is not the one it's supposed to be
[07:37] <TC_> lol
[07:37] <mythril> is there a way to disable networking setup during boot?
[07:38] <usli> people
[07:38] <tamacracker> ?
[07:38] <usli> does ubuntu have an application to open visio ?
[07:39] <TC_> bjorn u got any idea why its not letting me in
[07:39] <usli> ??
[07:39] <link_36p> Is there any way to repair a really messed up package situation?
[07:39] <bjorn_> TC_, lost track of the command you R running already . .
[07:39] <TC_> link it takes 8 minutes to install ubuntu
[07:39] <TC_> bjorn ok i typed this in root
[07:39] <_cerberus_> lots of distros don't like distributing mp3 decoders for some reason or another, LAME is an mp3 decoder, I've nevr tried using it with amarok but it definately works with xmms, failing that you could always go with mplayer
[07:39] <matthew_w> CiRuS; but then there's the gross complication of turning my machine into a mailserver?
[07:39] <TC_> mkdir /mnt/sdb2 ; mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/sdb2 ; chroot /mnt/sdb2
[07:39] <TC_> and got this
[07:40] <TC_> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[07:40] <TC_> chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory
[07:40] <tamacracker> mplayer?
[07:40] <usli> dude
[07:40] <usli> i need help
[07:40] <TC_> usli type visio ubuntu in google man
[07:40] <link_36p> bjorn_ i have alot of stuff on here that i dont want to lose (pictures config files many ours of work perfecting setup)
[07:40] <usli> thanks
[07:40] <_cerberus_> yeah, it comes with it's own mp3 decoder built in.
[07:40] <tamacracker> forgive me for askin, but would you happen to have the direct link to mplayer? I'm assuming it does not need a plug in to play mp3s?
[07:40] <TC_> tamacracker goto packman.com
[07:40] <bjorn_> TC_ well, lets start w/ the first command
[07:41] <TC_> bjorn_k
[07:41] <_cerberus_> www.mplayerhq.hu/ , you'll need to compile it, but that's easy as
[07:41] <_cerberus_> ust read the instructions
[07:41] <link_36p> ops
[07:41] <link_36p> TC_ i have alot of stuff on here that i dont want to lose (pictures config files many ours of work perfecting setup)
[07:41] <TC_> jus use alien with the rpm from packman alot easier
[07:41] <tamacracker> thank you, i'll go there right now and check it out :)
[07:41] <TC_> link burn them to dvd
[07:41] <bjorn_> I think you managed to create /mnt/sdb2 ook
[07:41] <_cerberus_> no prob
[07:41] <TC_> bjorn no i didnt
[07:41] <bjorn_> though, you probably want /mnt/sdb1
[07:41] <TC_> lol
[07:41] <TC_> o ok
[07:42] <TC_> so type same command u told me except with sdb1?
[07:42] <TC_> bjorn_  do this???   mkdir /mnt/sdb1 ; mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 ; chroot /mnt/sdb1
[07:43] <bjorn_> one at a time though
[07:43] <bjorn_> mkdir /mnt/sdb1
[07:43] <TC_> ohhh
[07:43] <bjorn_> and then check that that dir got created
[07:43] <TC_> i was doing them all"once
[07:43] <TC_> i done mkdir /mnt/sdb1 and it jus went down to next line
[07:43] <bjorn_> yea, which wouldn't matter, if they were working :D
[07:44] <TC_> so im taking that worked
[07:44] <bjorn_> yea, so you should now have a /mnt/sdb1 directory
[07:44] <TC_> root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# mkdir /mnt/sdb1
[07:44] <TC_> root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu#
[07:44] <TC_> thats what i got
[07:44] <TC_> k
[07:45] <bjorn_> ok, so the mount command is the one that's choking, and that's causing the chroot to fail
[07:45] <TC_> root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# mount /dev/sdb1
[07:45] <TC_> mount: can't find /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[07:46] <bjorn_> right,  you want
[07:46] <mythril> how can I disable network
[07:46] <bjorn_> mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
[07:46] <azam> hai
[07:46] <TC_> i think that worked
[07:46] <azam> ff
[07:46] <TC_> it jus skipped down to next line
[07:47] <bjorn_> k, try 'ls /mnt/sdb1' and make sure it looks similar to 'ls /'
[07:47] <azam> i am from INA you
[07:47] <TC_> ok it brought up alot of color commands
[07:47] <bjorn_> if it does, I think its safe to assume that you've found your root ubuntu partition :D
[07:47] <TC_> root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# ls /mnt/sdb1
[07:47] <TC_> bin   cdrom  etc   initrd      lib         media  opt   root  srv  tmp  var
[07:47] <TC_> boot  dev    home  initrd.img  lost+found  mnt    proc  sbin  sys  usr  vmlinuz
[07:48] <TC_> sorry for spam but i need this fixed
[07:48] <bjorn_> yea, looks good
[07:48] <TC_> k
[07:48] <tamacracker> Hm... I'm trying to find the installtion instructions for Mplayer 1.0pre8 and I'm not havin any luck on the site...
[07:48] <wikijeff> Is there a decent way to make it so that when I minimize/expand windows the window list doesn't keep resizing?
[07:48] <tamacracker> I already downloaded it.. and I can't find a readme document with instruction
[07:48] <TC_> tamacracker do a search for mplayer rpm file
[07:49] <bjorn_> ok chroot /mnt/sdb1
[07:49] <TC_> get the i386 version
[07:49] <TC_> k bjorn
[07:49] <bjorn_> and you should be in
[07:49] <bjorn_> then you'll have to read the man page about grub-install
[07:49] <TC_> im now root@ubuntu
[07:49] <bjorn_> (I think that's what you want, don't remmember really)
[07:49] <TC_> ok bjorn sweet
[07:49] <TC_> brb
[07:50] <tamacracker> search on google for mplayer rpm file?... or search in the folder?
[07:50] <_cerberus_> tamacracker, I'm assuming you've unzipped everything, cd into the directory and there should be a file called INSTALL
[07:50] <TC_> on google
[07:50] <bjorn_> I gotta take off,  good luck w/ re-installing grub
[07:50] <TC_> goto rpm search
[07:50] <TC_> ty bjorn for help
[07:50] <bjorn_> welcome
[07:50] <TC_> ttyl
[07:50] <bjorn_> adios
[07:50] <TC_> peace
[07:50] <_cerberus_> god no, don't go installing rpm's
[07:51] <tamacracker> uhm... I opened the zip file, extract it onto the desktop, I opened the MPlayer folder, and I cannot find anything to do with install, just a few fiels and alot of folders
[07:51] <tamacracker> ok i wont install rpms

[07:58] <sp0rk_> i'm googling, but i have a very very slow stolen wireless connection
[07:58] <Ademan> can one use the xair server with an nvidia card and it just won't be accelerated? or it won't work at all?
[07:59] <boudahxl> GKrellM <-- Could this application bring down the whole system? Everytime it's running for a long period I find my system in a frozen state... Never freeze otherwise, any idea?
[07:59] <TC_> sprok u on dsl?
[07:59] <TC_> spork
[07:59] <sp0rk_> i'm not sure what i'm on
[07:59] <TC_> are u on dial up
[07:59] <TC_> as in 56k
[07:59] <tamacracker> thanks _cerberus :)
[08:00] <TC_> spork want faster internet?
[08:00] <sp0rk_> well, i know i'm on an unsecured wireless connection, connecting to an apple airport wap...but the distance from the wap is what kills me
[08:00] <TC_> u running firefox?
[08:00] <sp0rk_> i would like a faster connection, yes, and i am running firefox
[08:00] <TC_> ok goto file new tab
[08:00] <TC_> and in the webaddress type about:config
[08:01] <sp0rk_> k
[08:01] <TC_> now go down to network.dns.disableIPv6
[08:01] <TC_> u see it
[08:01] <TC_> it will prolloy be disabled on the right hand side?
[08:02] <TC_> i mean it will say false
[08:02] <sp0rk_> yeah i changed it
[08:02] <TC_> o u done tha already?
[08:02] <sp0rk_> nah i just did that now
[08:02] <sp0rk_> BUT
[08:02] <sp0rk_> that's not my problem
[08:02] <TC_> but
[08:02] <TC_> make sure its on true
[08:02] <TC_> and open a new firefox
[08:02] <thomas__> Hi, my root partition is mounted as read-only. How do I fix this?
[08:02] <tamacracker> Does anyone know how to put codecs into the /usr/local/lib/codecs
[08:02] <TC_> it made my speed 6 times faster easily
[08:02] <sp0rk_> the problem is the continuity of the wireless connection
[08:02] <tamacracker> I need to do this in order for them to work with mplayer
[08:02] <TC_> yeah but that might help u some
[08:03] <sp0rk_> thanks man
[08:03] <TC_> welcome
[08:03] <TC_> try it and see if it makes any difference
[08:03] <TC_> u need to open a new firefox doh
[08:03] <TC_> close other ones down
[08:03] <sp0rk_> yeah i know TC_
[08:04] <mtholdenss> is it possible to have a session seperate for xgl gnome and xgl kde?
[08:04] <thomas__> Hi, my root partition is mounted as read-only. How do I fix this?
[08:04] <mtholdenss> thomas is your partition ntfs?
[08:04] <TC_> anyone in here know what partition grub should be installed on?
[08:04] <thomas__> Yno.
[08:05] <mtholdenss> Yno?
[08:05] <thomas__> It's just Linux.
[08:05] <thomas__> No*
[08:05] <mtholdenss> ok well i dont know then...
[08:05] <mtholdenss> if it was ntfs and it was a win xp partition that would make sense y u cant write to it
[08:05] <sp0rk> TC_: what do you mean...do you mean the actual program grub itself, or the boot image?
[08:05] <sp0rk> because the boot image doesn't actually install on a partition, it installs on the MBR of whatever disk you point it to
[08:06] <thomas__> I don't know. During boot, it had to do a hard drive check, and mounted is as read only for fcsk.
[08:06] <mtholdenss> any benifits of having kde and gnome?
[08:06] <sp0rk> mtholdenss: choice
[08:06] <TC_> spork basically i had windows on my C drive and ubuntu on D but windows messed up so i reinstalled it and now grub is gone..so i was geting help in here by a few ppl who told me when im in my live cd jus to go into my chroot of the installed ubuntu and reinstall grub to it
[08:06] <sp0rk> you can decide which works better for you
[08:07] <TC_> so i would imagine the MBR is my c drive yes?
[08:07] <mtholdenss> sp0rk but u can have both and run stuff from diff sessions?
[08:07] <mtholdenss> do some apps run better on gnome than kde vise versa?
[08:07] <TC_> gnome is alot better for compiz
[08:07] <TC_> and gnome is alot better for programming
[08:07] <thomas__> I can't do apt-get or anything since it's read only. Can't I remount it or something?
[08:08] <sp0rk> mtholdenss: hang on... let me deal with TC_ then i'll answer your question
[08:08] <mtholdenss> TC but compiz can still run on kde?
[08:08] <TC_> yes but not all the plugins work n stuff
[08:08] <TC_> gnome is better anyways
[08:08] <TC_> :P
[08:08] <sp0rk> TC_: you don't actually have to chroot, grub will be able to acess the harddrives even without your ubutnu drive mounted...it has low level access
[08:08] <TC_> kde is windowish lookin
[08:09] <dibblego> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=251944 is there a way to use a NIC if the driver has a bug? are bugs fixed often enough to wait?
[08:09] <TC_> spork i need to reinstall grub doh
[08:09] <sp0rk> TC_: all you need to do is tell grub which partition has your grub information (should be hd1,0) and what disk is you boot disk (should be hd0), and you're good
[08:09] <TC_> i think when i installed windows it deleted it
[08:09] <sp0rk> TC_: yeah, it did
[08:09] <mtholdenss> Tc... and gnome is mac looking...
[08:09] <TC_> nothing wrong with mac :)
[08:09] <amidala> hi
[08:09] <sp0rk> !grub
[08:09] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:10] <sp0rk> read that link, TC_, and you'll be golden
[08:10] <TC_> k thanx
[08:10] <sp0rk> np
[08:10] <hume> hi...how do I do a startx that starts a new X-server when I alreday have one running?
[08:10] <dannyr> hi I have spamassassin - postfix and have installed clamav - clamav doesnt seem to check incoming emails - how do I install anomy-sanitizer using apt-get?
[08:10] <sp0rk> now mtholdenss, you don't need to run KDE to be able to run programs that use kde libs
[08:10] <mtholdenss> but its better if u run kde? right?
[08:10] <sp0rk> nope
[08:11] <tamacracker>  _cerberus I don't know how to put the codecs into the proper location...
[08:11] <sp0rk> mtholdenss: the only thing that would be better would be a common look and feel
[08:11] <usli> dudee
[08:11] <usli> help................
[08:11] <usli> how to open visio in ubuntu?
[08:11] <TC_> root@ubuntu:/# grub-install /dev/hda
[08:11] <TC_> /dev/hda: Not found or not a block device
[08:11] <mtholdenss> i think gnome is more macish look and feel and kde is windows look
[08:11] <Cosmo-san>  Where do I get a C compiler?
[08:12] <sp0rk> mtholdenss: you'll have some initial lag when you first start up the kde app as all the libraries and sussystems load, but once they're loaded you'll cook along without noticing any difference
[08:12] <sp0rk> mtholdenss: aside from a visual difference
[08:12] <usli> !visio
[08:12] <dibblego> Cosmo-san, apt-get install build-essential
[08:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about visio - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:12] <sp0rk> mtholdenss: you can make gnome look anyway you want it...from a UI point of view, gnome actually works just like windows does
[08:13] <mtholdenss> sp0rk true
[08:13] <sp0rk> mtholdenss: just the initial default layout resembles mac more than it does windows...but in everyday operation, it works like a windows UI works
[08:13] <usli> anyone?
[08:13] <usli> know that such of application?
[08:13] <sp0rk> usli: can't help you man, sorry
[08:13] <TC_> susli no1 knows
[08:13] <usli> oh....
[08:13] <usli> :(
[08:13] <usli> thanks
[08:13] <sp0rk> TC_: i'll help you in pm
[08:13] <TC_> !enter
[08:13] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[08:13] <TC_> spork ok
[08:13] <TC_> i will send u a SS of my ubuntu u will understand why i dont wanna format
[08:14] <thomas__> *sigh* I tried remount, but it's still read only.
[08:15] <CiRuS> usli, as in the MS Visio?
[08:15] <usli> yap...
[08:15] <TC_> use wine
[08:15] <usli> my office using a visio for creating application
[08:15] <usli> i try using wine
[08:15] <usli> it cant open visio
[08:15] <CiRuS> yep that about sums it up .. wine
[08:15] <TC_> lol
[08:15] <usli> :(
[08:15] <CiRuS> well you could try crossover office
[08:16] <sp0rk> TC_: you get my pm?
[08:16] <usli> but that's a non-free
[08:16] <TC_> yes
[08:16] <usli> hehe
[08:16] <TC_> u not get mine?
[08:16] <CiRuS> yep $$
[08:16] <sp0rk> TC_: nope
[08:16] <TC_> wierd
[08:16] <sp0rk> i'll just tell you in the room.
[08:16] <tamacracker> can anyone help me properly install mplayer?
[08:16] <TC_> k
[08:16] <TC_> i have 2 hard drives
[08:17] <TC_> windows on C ubuntu on D
[08:17] <TC_> i type root@ubuntu:/# grub-install /dev/hda
[08:17] <TC_> /dev/hda: Not found or not a block device
[08:17] <TC_> and that happens
[08:17] <sp0rk> so, the grub_install is really a lack kludge that guesses that things and never really works...don't use it.  open up a terminal and just type "grub"
[08:17] <TC_> k
[08:17] <TC_> ok got wierd stuff up
[08:17] <sp0rk> like what?
[08:18] <TC_>  GNU GRUB  version 0.97  (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)
[08:18] <TC_>  Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.   For
[08:18] <TC_>          the   first   word,  TAB  lists  possible  command
[08:18] <TC_>          completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
[08:18] <TC_>          completions of a device/filename. ]
