[00:00] <foolz> ok, I am trying to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 - my sources.list has all lines crosses out except the "deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted universe multiverse" line (and the same for feisty-updates and feisty-security)... now I get the message "no valid mirror found" when I try to upgrade, and it asks me if I want to rewrite my source.list file anyway
[00:00] <foolz> should I do this?
[00:00] <Wizzup> hou5ton: It is a program that you want. If you already have it, you can type it in a terminal to run the program
[00:00] <Wizzup> Once you want it to actually make changes, put sudo in front of it
[00:00] <hou5ton> Wizzup:   ok .. i have that up ... just not sure what to do with it.
[00:00] <Wizzup> hou5ton: Check the second top option menu
[00:01] <Wizzup> It should contain two displays, with one disabled. Enable it
[00:01] <Wizzup> (and write to Xorg.conf)
[00:02] <hou5ton> Wizzup:  h ... hey ... ok .. and it says I would need to reboot ... but that looks like what I've been looking for ... I was so close
[00:02] <hou5ton> Wizzup:   thanks
[00:02] <Wizzup> hou5ton: Not reboot, just log off
[00:02] <Wizzup> That will restart X as well
[00:03] <McShane> My monitor keeps defaulting to 75 Hz, even though it's an LCD. I can change it back to 60 Hz in the ATI control center, but the setting reverts to 75 Hz when I restart X. How can I fix this? I'm using a VGA cable, if that matters.
[00:03] <Wizzup> hou5ton: make sure you sudo'ed it and made it write to the xorg.conf file
[00:04] <Wizzup> It also creates a backup if so that you can revert if things get messy
[00:04] <hou5ton> Wizzup:   I want it to be an extension of my main screen ... so I checked the Seperate X Screen.  Is that correctn?
[00:04] <Wizzup> Nope
[00:04] <hou5ton> Wizzup:   or should it be Twinview?
[00:04] <Wizzup> Use TwinView
[00:04] <markl_> http://www.SupportMichaelPhelps.com/
[00:05] <hou5ton> Wizzup:   ok ... and one more thing ... it's on the wrong side.
[00:05] <Wizzup> (Seperate X Screen didn't even work on my setup)
[00:05] <medb> Does anyone know anything about using mathcad on Ubuntu?
[00:05] <Wizzup> hou5ton: I think ehm
[00:05] <Wizzup> There was this option for setting the position
[00:05] <Wizzup> You can set it relatively to a monitor
[00:05] <hou5ton> Wizzup:   ah ... found it
[00:05] <Wizzup> Either in pixels or just 'left'
[00:06] <Wizzup> Lol, this is all out of my memory though, don't have any X near atm... Just a Gentoo without X.
[00:07] <hyperbuddha> Which distro is best to run as a ssh backup server and a music server
[00:07] <Wizzup> hyperbuddha: depends on your hardware
[00:07] <fbc> How do I view gb2312 encoded websites?? I guess I need the font?
[00:08] <hyperbuddha> Im thinking about either running on an olpc  or a macbook
[00:08] <Wizzup> I really like Ubuntu because it is fairly easy to set up and such. If you have lots of experience you might want to choose one which comes with nearly no apps at all
[00:08] <Wizzup> macbook as server? hmm
[00:08] <foolz> easy to set up sure... upgrade, heck no :-p
[00:08] <^hashbang^> nDevastator: Wizzup: Olpc as a server?
[00:08] <IndyGunFreak> Wizzup: not really, there's some experienced people that like Ubuntu.. I used it to basically jumpstart me into Debian.
[00:09] <bernz> hyperbuddha, i'm gonna use a mini-itx for a server, with ubuntu server (headless setup)
[00:09] <hyperbuddha> indeed but I have one lying around so im gonna load it up with external hd
[00:09] <Wizzup> ^hashbang^: I am afraid I don't even know what Olpc is
[00:09] <bernz> i wouldn't use a laptop/notebook as a server (always-on), though... they're bad for heat dissipation
[00:09] <hou5ton> Wizzup:   you are THE MAN
[00:09] <Wizzup> IndyGunFreak: I see... Well, I really liked Ubuntu because it was my first Distro to work properly. When I tried it at my laptop I found the performance quite slow though
[00:09] <bernz> (olpc == xo project laptop -- for kids... one laptop per child)
[00:09] <^hashbang^> one laptop per child
[00:10] <Wizzup> hou5ton: glad to help
[00:10] <IndyGunFreak> Wizzup: strange.. it runs quiet well on my 2 laptops, and an AAO i have...  1 laptop is newer (1.8ghz), one is quite old(900mhz)
[00:10] <hyperbuddha> ok thanx guys ill take a look at barebones machines and craigslist
[00:11] <Wizzup> IndyGunFreak: Hmm, my laptop was quite old, with a 1,5 Ghz celeron. I was mainly referring to movies not playing _too_ well
[00:12] <IndyGunFreak> Wizzup: weird.. like i said, my laptop is a 1.8ghz celeron, and it plays movies find...
[00:12] <IndyGunFreak> *fine
[00:12] <Wizzup> Oh. Using mplayer as well?
[00:12] <IndyGunFreak> Wizzup: no.. vlc
[00:13] <Wizzup> Hmm... VLC got me like 2fps
[00:13] <bernz> right -- i have totem installed by default; i used to enjoy mplayer on xp before ubuntu; should i go for mplayer in favour of totem? (i will eventually want to use hardware accel on my radeon hd2600)
[00:14] <_dbd_l12> bernz: mplayer > totem
[00:14] <IndyGunFreak> Wizzup: are you using intrepid?
[00:14] <blizzle> bergman, Try Exaile.
[00:14] <blizzle> bernz, rather.. Exaile..
[00:14] <bernz> _dbd_l12, okay, is it just a simple "install mplayer and reassociate default file type handlers" type deal?
[00:14] <Wizzup> Ubuntu is still awesome though - just not fully optimized for my own system, if you get what I mean. (Like Gentoo, everything needs to be compiled, but it will be optimized for your system)
[00:14] <Wizzup> IndyGunFreak: Yes, using II
[00:15] <bernz> _dbd_l12, or should i do some "research" first?
[00:15] <IndyGunFreak> hmm
[00:15] <hyperbuddha> can a regular distro of ubentu act as an afp and music server or does it have to be ubuntu server
[00:15] <Wizzup> hyperbuddha: a desktop can act as a server
[00:15] <rafael> server rizon
[00:15] <bernz> blizzle, oh yeah?  i will check that out... thanks
[00:15] <blizzle> bernz, Exaile (Gnome/Gtk) or Amarok (KDE/QT) for audio files/mp3s.
[00:15] <hyperbuddha> cool thanks
[00:15] <Wizzup> In fact, I have a desktop functioning as a server at home. Ubuntu desktop with PHP, MySQL, Apache etc
[00:16] <Wizzup> (Not a big load server so it's not a big deal)
[00:16] <bernz> hyperbuddha, ubuntu server and ubuntu desktop are really mostly the same, but just different configurations (different included apps, default settings, etc)
[00:16] <_dbd_l12> bernz: yes, "sudo apt-get install mplayer" will do fine. you'll just want to download the codecs packages (from the mplayerhq website) and unzip them in the correct folder (it's in the faq probably at ubuntuguide.org
[00:16] <_dbd_l12> bernz: if you need non-free codecs (wmv, quicktime) etc.
[00:16] <Wizzup> Anyway, this channel is quite a distraction and I need to go to bed. Bye all (Good luck.)
[00:16] <bernz> hyperbuddha, server is optimized for network and disk activity, and has minimal "friendly" stuff (e.g. GUI)
[00:16] <hyperbuddha> thanks you guys rock
[00:16] <daftfad> My sound is stuck in an endless loop. Anyone know a quick way to fix it w/o rebooting?
[00:17] <bernz> _dbd_l12, great, sounds simple enough, thanks
[00:17] <estaban> daftfad: turn off the speakers
[00:17] <bernz> sleep well, Wizzup
[00:18] <daftfad> It's the result of a flash audio streamer in firefox hanging.
[00:18] <storm-zen> I'm trying to get an audio disk to use a specified mount point through the  GUI on intrepid.  It doesn't seem to want to cooperate.  What am I doing wrong?
[00:19] <radsy> audio CDs don't mount
[00:19] <bartek_> welcome everybody, i am googling for a week and a half and can not find solution
[00:19] <bartek_> can anybody help
[00:19] <bartek_> ?
[00:19] <daftfad> I refuse to reboot. What is this, windows? Come on.
[00:19] <bernz> bartek_, google is no good any more... polluted with fake-garbage :-/
[00:19] <storm-zen> radsy: Well, that might explain it...
[00:19] <redvamp128> !ask | bartek_:
[00:19] <bernz> bartek_, hopefully we can help you better than google
[00:20] <bartek_> i have hp pavilion dv5 1110 - my problems are sound throug hdmi, suspend and remote control
[00:20] <job> I just installed a new sound card in a machine running 8.10.  I only get the the little sound at GDM beyond that no sound.  Thank you
[00:20] <radsy> storm-zen, they don't have a filesystem on them
[00:20] <storm-zen> Ok... so... I'm trying to set up a CD to be ripped though an sh script, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to access it.  I have three players: a bluray, a DVD ROM, and a cdrw.
[00:20] <bartek_> thanks guys for beeing open
[00:20] <bernz> bartek_, wow, that's a triple-whammy of nasty :-) i'm afraid i won't be much help :-/
[00:21] <storm-zen> radsy: Yeah, I got it when you said they didn't mount.
[00:21] <redvamp128> bartek_:  have you tried !sound ? yet
[00:21] <redvamp128> !sound | bartek_:
[00:21] <bartek_> 1 of all remote - i have hp rc6 - small stuuf delivered with notebook -only one button working; i do not know how to find it is ubuntu
[00:22] <estaban> daftfad: Kill all firefox processes if remaining
[00:22] <bartek_> what i found i need 3 devices displayed afted aplay -l
[00:23] <bartek_> i have only 2
[00:23] <daftfad> estaban: tried that- it's not running. also tried restarting pulse.
[00:23] <bartek_> redvamp128: what do you mean !sound?
[00:24] <estaban> daftfad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/109807
[00:24] <redvamp128> I though ubottu would pick up on that
[00:24] <storm-zen> hmm... why does "Audio disc properties" even allow you to specify a "mount point", then?
[00:24] <acctflow> anyone working on the administration tools for ubuntu?
[00:24] <redvamp128> bartek_:  I thought ubottu would pick up on that !sound
[00:24] <acctflow> I think it could use some enhancement/organization
[00:24] <redvamp128> !sound | bartek_
[00:24] <ian[1]> I'm looking for a solution to stream live TV from a tuner on 8.10 Server... Darwin Streaming Server doesn't have much documentation out there and I'm having trouble getting it to work on 8.10.. Anyone have any suggestions as to what other software is out there that's worth investigating?
[00:25] <bernz> hah, ubottu supports piping -- how cute!  :-D
[00:25] <unop> bernz, and redirection too :)
[00:25] <numus> how do i mount my ntfs harddrive when running ubuntu in wubi
[00:25] <daftfad> estaban: I'm not sure this is the same problem - this is a once in a lifetime thing afaik, not a chronic problem.
[00:25] <redvamp128> bartek_:  though this may or may not help but someone gave me this to try to help get 5.1 (I haven't tried this yet) Setting 5.1 sound in Ubuntu Hardy <http://<IP_ADDRESS>/translate_c?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://www.cristalab.com/tips/configurar-sonido-5.1-en-ubuntu-hardy-c55716l/&prev=hp&usg=ALkJrhhOdNjR8Uqh74R0K6aWG5G8KhWh3w>
[00:25] <bartek_> ubottu: i had alsa selected but now pulseaudio, i have newest nvidia drivers from nvidia and newest alsa
[00:25] <bernz> unop, wow, he's smarter than i am ... ROFL
[00:26] <daftfad> estaban: can I use any of the mod- commands to force reload the snd driver ors omething?
[00:26] <unop> !lol > bernz
[00:26] <estaban> Not sur
[00:26] <estaban> sure*
[00:26] <vock> Just read an article online about how Desktop environments have built in launchers which get around permissions, which allow downloaded programs to be run easily and this can easily facilitate a Gnome/KDE virus. Obviously, common sense is always the best defense, but i'm wondering if there is a way to change to anything about it beyond junking the desktop-environment?
[00:27] <bartek_> redvamp128: link does not work
[00:27] <redvamp128> vock:  they can only get around permissions if they are set up by the super user
[00:27] <trippss> disabled all FF add-ons. ubuntu start page. 1 window. no tabs. FF process memory=VIRT=118m RES=38m SHR=19m. doesn't that seem high?
[00:28] <redvamp128> vock:  that is kind of like with windows Uac and setting a program to run with Admin Privilages.
[00:28] <redvamp128> bartek_:  that was a google link -- The original page was in spanish-- so you may want to goto the spanish page and then copy that link over to google translate
[00:29] <vock> redvamp128, from what the article was saying, a launcher can run scripts without super-user privileges
[00:29] <redvamp128> bartek_:  this is the spanish link Configurar sonido 5.1 en Ubuntu Hardy <http://www.cristalab.com/tips/configurar-sonido-5.1-en-ubuntu-hardy-c55716l/>
[00:29] <bernz> trippss, do you have a lot of tabs open? i often got 150MB sessions of firefox process on xp (and memory is memory, so it's not crazy for linux version to have similar usage) -- i'm talking about 60+ tabs here
[00:29] <redvamp128> vock:  please link to the article--
[00:30] <trippss> bernz, no tabs. fresh start. ubuntu start page
[00:30] <vock> redvamp128, http://www.geekzone.co.nz/foobar/6229
[00:30] <unop> tripps,  that's not bad compared to mine :)  4503 unop      20   0  191m  93m  21m S  0.3 12.3   5:08.56 firefox-bin
[00:30] <daftfad> estaban: fixed. killall -9 pulseaudio  ;]
[00:30] <trippss> bernz, like I said before on here I had 700MB (!!!) usage by FF with 2 tabs open!!!
[00:30] <ian[1]> Can someone recommend a good shell-based bittorrent client?
[00:30] <unop> tripps, firefox is a hog - has always been
[00:31] <unop> ian[1], rtorrent
[00:31] <ian[1]> unop, thanks!
[00:31] <sdlwof> i setup my desktop to use two monitors, but now i'mb ack to using one monitor, and now my desktop effects are disabled, and now it also says it's unable to enable the desktop effects. what changed?
[00:31] <sdlwof> like, windows display slow...you can easily watch them draw down the screen..
[00:32] <vock> unop, i thought compared to everything else out there FF had the lightest footprint. Is there something better?
[00:32] <bernz> vock, it's best to just learn about general security, and then fix your system bit by bit as you learn; for instance, when you attach a new volume, you probably get a pop-up of the file browser, showing that volume's contents... well, how did it do that? it's not hard to discover and dig down until you see the path, and then you can understand the security risks (weak points on the path)... so you disable "weak" stuff or remove it, and things get better and
[00:32] <bernz>  better ;-)
[00:32] <kansan> mv: inter-device move failed: `images/' to `/var/openx/images'; unable to remove target: Is a directory  (from ext3 => xfs) ... is this not allowed or somethign?
[00:32] <bernz> (by "path", i mean the chain of events that led from the hardware detecting a change in signal wires all the way down to the kernel, and back up to the GUI)
[00:33] <Sergeant_Pony> any way I can list the recognized usb ports on my laptop? ubuntu 8.10.
[00:33] <kebomix> how to install this patch http://code.google.com/p/raqm/source/browse/trunk/patches/wine_libicu_bidi_arabic-shaping.patch ?
[00:33] <vock> bernz, now you're acutally making me do work instead of getting someone to magic all my problems away :(
[00:33] <bartek_> redvamp128: now it opens
[00:33] <bernz> (in windows, this is EXTREMELY difficult, but with Linux, you have searchable, nice source code)
[00:33] <bartek_> i'll be right back
[00:33] <numus> how do i mount my ntfs harddrive when running ubuntu in wubi
[00:33] <bernz> vock, yeah, sorry, linux is still pretty "young"
[00:33] <redvamp128> vock:  after reading this-- First the person has to save to the desktop-- then change permissions in order to run the program.(script)
[00:34] <adante> hi guys, is ubuntu setup to automatically initialise lvm partitions?
[00:34] <wolter> hi, i want to resize my home partition, what should i do?
[00:34] <bernz> vock, in general, most malware requires at least one step of user "complicity" (i.e. you "help" it get past a hurdle, but e.g. getting spoofed into typing your root password into a fake login box, unlock dialog, etc)
[00:34] <unop> vock, firefox has always been heavy (the heaviest even?) -- but for that price you pay you get a lot -- it's quite a versatile browser supporting a _lot_ of features - you'd expect it to have a big footprint
[00:34] <yoyoned> wolter: get the gparted live cd
[00:35] <vock> redvamp128, doesn't double clicking run the script, i don't think i've ever had to enter super user to do that
[00:35] <wolter> I know i have to logout to stop using the mountpoint, but which home will the system use? will it be automatic?
[00:35] <redvamp128> vock:  no all attachments downloaded are not set to exe by default
[00:35] <bernz> vock, and this complicity is often achieved through social engineering (someone gets you to feel guilted into helping them do something borderline, or you are tricked outright by lack of info)
[00:35] <unop> vock, there are plenty of 'light' browsers - galeon, ephiphany, opera, etc - but i still prefer firefox
[00:35] <wolter> or, if i could login as root... that would be awesome for i will be using /root instead of home... is that possible?
[00:36] <bernz> wolter, step 1: BACKUP
[00:36] <vock> bernz, redvamp128, so as always it's not a big concern to worry about as long as you know where/what you're downloading?
[00:36] <redvamp128> vock:  actually a .sh by default if you click you will be prompted with possibilities- run - display - run with terminal or exit.
[00:36] <wolter> bernz, ok
[00:36] <bernz> wolter, step 2: check to see if you cheated and skipped step 1 ;-)
[00:36] <vock> redvamp128, right
[00:36] <bernz> wolter, after that, gparted is your friend
[00:36] <bernz> ('sudo apt-get install gparted' should work)
[00:36] <redvamp128> vock:  so if you downloaded what you thought was picture or zip file - should either start default pictureviewer or archiver.
[00:37] <wolter> bernz, but i have to remove home from fstab, don't it?
[00:37] <wolter> i*?
[00:37] <redvamp128> bartek_:  you may want to copy that link over to google translate
[00:37] <bernz> wolter, if you are stepping on the partitions you need to adjust, you should get a bootable "live CD" with gparted on it
[00:38] <wolter> oh, thats a better way to do it..
[00:38] <wolter> bernz, thanks
[00:38] <wolter> for stopping me from being stupid
[00:38] <bernz> wolter, then read the gparted basic help/faq, make sure you understand partitioning in general (it's not too hard, i can explain in detail via PM if you like), and boot into live CD, adjust, reboot from HD
[00:38] <vock> redvamp128, so all i really need to worry about are .sh files, and if i learn a bit about bash scripting, it should be fairly easy to figure out if what i downloaded is doing what it's supposed to? Nothing to worry about viruses embedded in other types of files. It really is just a script that could run another script?
[00:38] <wolter> bernz, don't worry, i do.
[00:38] <bernz> wolter, yeah, if you find yourself "having to" go root for some reason, you're probably heading in the wrong direction ;-)
[00:38] <Pici> vock: Can we please move this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic as it is not a support request.
[00:39] <wolter> bernz, yeah
[00:39] <vock> Pici: sorry, thought it fit under the category, that's was my last question
[00:39] <redvamp128> vock:  unless you are installing something like winetricks (which is highly known ) for wine installs or a patch- you should always display something first before running or run with terminal
[00:39] <default> does anybody know if broadcom cards work with kismet?
[00:39] <windio00> hi i installed virtualbox on ubuntu, upgraded the kernel and now it doesnt work.  Do I have to install/reinstall everytime i upgrade the kernel?
[00:39] <default> specifically bcm4312?
[00:40] <redvamp128> windio00:  it should have given you a command to run to fix that.
[00:40] <Pici> windio00: How did you instlal virtualbox? How did you upgrade the kernel?
[00:40] <bernz> wolter, cool, so, definitely try to learn how PC hard disk partitioning works (what's MBR, how many primaries, what's extended, logical, etc) -- you only need to learn it once, then you understand forever ;-)
[00:40] <redvamp128> windio00:  to stop that in the long run - install DKMS for the future-- Let me look to see if the command I have --
[00:40] <sarixe> guys, i'm thinking of switching to windows, because linux doesn't cut it for some of the stuff i need to be doing.  my main concern, however, is that i have a large collection of music (some irreplaceable) on an external hard drive, formatted in ext3.  will i be able to access ext3 from windows without risk of corruption?
[00:40] <bartek_> redvamp128: it does not help
[00:40] <vock> thanks guys
[00:40] <bartek_> but thanks
[00:40] <wolter> bernz, don't worry, i do.
[00:41] <windio00> Pici, I installed from Sun, and upgraded kernel from updates
[00:41] <bernz> sarixe, yes indeed
[00:41] <bernz> sarixe, but avoid making changes (write mode)
[00:41] <redvamp128> windio00:  this is a common issue and all you have to do is re-run the config for virtual box
[00:41] <wolter> default, http://www.kismetwireless.net/documentation.shtml
[00:41] <sabalord> So i have linux on one hd then installed windows on another hd, how would i be able to get the windows option show up on grub?
[00:41] <redvamp128> windio00:  I am looking the command up now_ (though usually it gives you what you need to run from terminal to fix itself)
[00:42] <bernz> sarixe, there's a guy called stephan schreiber who makes a driver for NT-based OS which masquerades ext[23]fs volumes as virtual NTFS volumes
[00:42] <numus> where is the wubi support chat?
[00:42] <windio00> redvamp128, DKMS ok
[00:42] <bernz> search him by name, i can't remember the driver/utility name
[00:42] <redvamp128> windio00:  sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
[00:42] <sarixe> oh wait, i think i can just probably resize the ext3 partition to make room for a fat32 or something, and then copy everything over, right?
[00:42] <sarixe> that would probably work better
[00:42] <redvamp128> windio00:  that is the command to fix virtual box for now-- but in the future if you have dkms installed it will not need to do that
[00:43] <redvamp128> !dkms | windio00:
[00:43] <redvamp128> windio00:  you can find that one in synaptic package manger
[00:43] <windio00> redvamp128, thanks for the education
[00:43] <bartek_> sarixe: in "total commander" there is special plugin to acces ext3
[00:43] <Krypton> hi guys, Ive got two questions
[00:44] <bartek_> sarixe: i downloaded total commander with special pack but in polish
[00:44] <numus> why does ntfs tools have internal drives shaded out on wubi
[00:44] <sarixe> bartek_ : i think it'll do fine if i just make a fat32 partition on the drive and copy things over.
[00:44] <Krypton> 1) WIne: WHen I open up any game for WIne (.exe) all i get is weird lines across the screen that vibrate. However when i reconfig WIne to emulate a desktop it works but the res is too small
[00:44] <Templar_Xion> So I want to change the default root mail receipient from root@localhost to my external gmail account. Any suggestions?

[00:45] <redvamp128> bartek_:  as far as your remote control -- I don't have a clue-- you may also try going to alsa site and see if there are updated drivers (or there you may find clues to configure your Hdmi better) Main Page - AlsaProject <http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page>
[00:45] <sarixe> bartek_ : thanks, but i already have a solution.  i asked the question without really thinking about it.
[00:46] <redvamp128> vock:  basically it it involves the user to do 4 things just to get the script to even run that way.
[00:46] <bartek_> redvamp128: i have newest alsa and nvidia drivers; i am fighting with problem for a long time
[00:46] <numus> why does ntfs tools have internal drives shaded out on wubi
[00:47] <vock> redvamp128, yup, saw that after a bit more reading, i think i just got worried pre-emptively
[00:47] <bartek_> but i do not know how aplay finds devices; should i add it somewhere in configuration files?
[00:47] <windio00> is there a way to take a snapshot of the packages that i have installed now, and then have them automatically installed when i reinstall?
[00:47] <redvamp128> windio00:  did that fix you-- It happened to me all the time til I found out about installing -- kernel updates -- and having the Dkms installed stops that from having to be ran each update.
[00:48] <numus> why does ntfs tools have internal drives shaded out on wubi
[00:48] <windio00> redvamp128, its my brothers computer i am driving over there in about 15 min
[00:49] <bartek_> redvamp128: my remote control works as if it is part of keyboard
[00:49] <bartek_> but i do not know what is responsible for it
[00:49] <bartek_> and only one button working and giving keycodes in xev
[00:49] <redvamp128> windio00:  just run that command -- then install the dkms package afterwards and you won't need to re-run after each major update
[00:52] <kansan> is it legal to create symlinks across different volumes (if one is ext3 and the other is xfs)?
[00:52] <numus> why does ntfs tools have internal drives shaded out on wubi
[00:52] <Jazzy> Cany anyone help me regarding wine?
[00:52] <^hashbang^> kansan: No it's not.
[00:53] <kansan> ^hashbang^, really?
[00:53] <redvamp128> numus:  can you screenshot and post at - www.imagebin.ca so that we can see just what you see.
[00:53]  * G69 até amanhã!
[00:53] <^hashbang^> kansan: sure, what are you expecting to happen?
[00:53] <numus> redvamp firefox is frozen right now (think it is because i am updating) but i cant force close it yet..
[00:53] <numus> redvamp128 will do as soon as firefox decides to stop being a douche
[00:54] <redvamp128> numus:  - can't you also use IE if you are using wubi- then I assume you are in windows.
[00:55] <LordKenTheGreat> Hi, I'm experiencing kernel panics with my fresh install of Intrepid.
[00:55] <redvamp128> numus:  now I don't know if I can help you til I can at least see what you see that is greyed out and also other may be able to help once they see as well.
[00:55] <LordKenTheGreat> I have attached a kern.log file here: http://paste.cluenet.org/1452
[00:55] <LordKenTheGreat> Can someone confirm my suspicion that the acx module is to blame for the problem?
[00:56] <numus> redvamp128 working on it now
[00:56] <numus> redvamp128 wubi doesnt work like that.. wubi mounts a ghost partition during boot.. you never actually load windows
[00:56] <kansan> ^hashbang^, what does it matter if its different file systems
[00:56] <kansan> ^hashbang^, i cant even do it within the same file system
[00:56] <kansan> so i must be doing it rong
[00:56] <numus> http://imagebin.ca/view/KnbnJ3.html
[00:56] <numus> redvamp128 http://imagebin.ca/view/KnbnJ3.html
[00:57] <^hashbang^> kansan: try this. ln -s /path/to/file/you/want/to/link /path/where/you/want/it
[00:57] <LordKenTheGreat> Is anyone available to assist me?
[00:57] <box__> anybody know where i can find xpad.c?
[00:57] <^hashbang^> !ask | LordKenTheGreat
[00:57] <vock> Usually running compiz, but when I do a metacity --replace, it all works fine, until i close the blank terminal window that pops up, then all my windows freeze, until i do metacity --replace again and leave the terminal window open, make sense to anyone?
[00:58] <kansan> do you have to be sudo to run it
[00:58] <^hashbang^> kansan: not if you down the file and dir paths' that you are going to use, otherwise, yes
[00:58] <LordKenTheGreat> I asked already asked, but here: I am experiencing kernel panics with my fresh install of Intrepid. Log: http://paste.cluenet.org/1452 Is the acx module to blame?
[00:58] <Jeaton> im trying to mount a mp3 player, but i can't figure it out
[00:58] <numus> redvamp128 anny idea
[00:58] <Jeaton> syslog recognizes the mp3 player, but i don't know how to do it
[00:58] <redvamp128> numus: that is not wubi- in the screenshot that is the enable write support for NTFS tool.  which also you have to have fuse or ntfs3g installed for this to work.
[00:59] <wolter> hi
[00:59] <wolter> should i backup a partition which i am expanding?
[00:59] <numus> redvamp128 what do you think wubi is?
[00:59] <blizzle> !wubi
[00:59] <^hashbang^> LordKenTheGreat: ok, what are you doing when you get the panic?
[00:59] <LordKenTheGreat> It's random.
[00:59] <numus> blizzle that was retorical
[00:59] <LordKenTheGreat> It happens randomly when I use it.
[00:59]  * blizzle smirks.
[00:59] <numus> blizzle since i am running wubi i know exactly what it is
[00:59] <LordKenTheGreat> Screen just locks up.
[00:59] <^hashbang^> LordKenTheGreat: use what?
[00:59] <adante> hey guys people who use lvm does it automatically setup partitions?
[00:59] <redvamp128> Wubi is the installer that when a ubuntu cd is inserted while windows is running-
[01:00] <LordKenTheGreat> Use any program.
[01:00] <redvamp128> !wubi
[01:00] <adante> what is responsible for creating the /dev/disk/by-uuid ?
[01:00] <cutebunny> i just installed ubuntu 8.10 in our vmware server host as a guest, is there an easy way from my windows desktop to get a remote desktop connection to the ubuntu desktop? right now i am remotedesktoping to the host, then using the vmware server console to view the guest desktop, which isn't that good
[01:00] <blizzle> numus, My commiserations. I consider wubi trialware. :)
[01:00] <LordKenTheGreat> Even during the install, it may sometimes hang randomly.
[01:00] <numus> redvamp128 you said my screenshot is not wubi.. what did you mean by that
[01:00] <^hashbang^> LordKenTheGreat: have you checked your HD lately? bad sectors?
[01:00] <LordKenTheGreat> No.
[01:00] <blizzle> numus, Or crippleware ;)
[01:01] <numus> blizzle i am running a windows 7 test laptop.. and really dont feel like altering my partitions.. thus wubi is great for that
[01:01] <box__> http://xbox-linux.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/xbox-linux/kernel-2.6/drivers/usb/input/xpad.c
[01:01] <box__> =C
[01:01] <^hashbang^> LordKenTheGreat: how about running memtestx86 off the bootcd
[01:01] <LordKenTheGreat> I reinstalled, and even in the LiveCD, I experience the same random crash.
[01:01] <LordKenTheGreat> Not done so yet.
[01:01] <numus> blizzle there is no proof that performance degrades when running wubi.. considering it runs exactly like ubuntu installed ona  fresh partition.. it is like mount an iso with daemon tools
[01:01] <blizzle> numus, Tbh, virtualbox *might* be better for that (in seamless mode). Just a thought :)
[01:01] <redvamp128> numus:  this is wubi http://mouseblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/ubuntu-804-alpha-5.jpg
[01:02] <^hashbang^> LordKenTheGreat: ok, sounds like either a MB or memory issue. try running the memtest
[01:02] <LordKenTheGreat> Ok.
[01:02] <numus> redvamp128 NO.. that is the wubi installer
[01:02] <numus> redvamp128 wubi runs after bios when you select the wubi bootloader
[01:03] <LordKenTheGreat> Rebooting into memtest now...
[01:03] <blizzle> numus, Storing your entire filesystem in a single windows file is risky, to say the least.
[01:03] <^hashbang^> numus: if ubuntu is running along side of windows, then it's not running exactly like a fresh ubuntu install. for one, are not using a native ext3 filesystem which is by far faster than isofs
[01:03] <Newb> Anyone able to help a new person with an install
[01:03] <wolter> hey bernz_, i know i said i knew how to partition, but i don't really know if i need to backup when expanding partitions.. do i?
[01:04] <LordKenTheGreat> ^hashbang^: I am currently running the test from the LiveCD.  I will report back when it is complete.
[01:04] <blizzle> numus, And, yes, there's also the poorer fs performance over native linux as ^hashbang^ mentioned.
[01:04] <numus> ^hashbang^ it is a virtual ext3 partition... ubuntu thinks it is an ext3 partition and asks just like it
[01:04] <Scunizi> synaptic seem to say that OpenOffice Base is installed but I can't seem to find it anywhere on the menu's or in Oo's "File / New".. it simply isn't listed.. How do I get to it?
[01:04] <^hashbang^> LordKenTheGreat: ok sounds great.
[01:04] <blizzle> numus, I've compared the two on the same system. wubi feels slower.
[01:05] <Newb> Anyone available to help?
[01:05] <numus> blizzle what system setup
[01:05] <^hashbang^> numus: your running an application to run an OS... how is that like running the OS without the app? it's not even the same.
[01:05] <bartek_> wolter: tough guys does not do backups ;)
[01:05] <wolter> lol
[01:05] <LordKenTheGreat> ^hashbang^: Does a kernel backtrace provide any information that's useful?
[01:05] <Newb> Well, back to Windows for me...
[01:05] <^hashbang^> bartek: someone here earlier said, yea they use ftp and let people mirror from them
[01:05] <Newb> Ubuntu looks nice, but is pretty useless for anyone that isn't a unix person
[01:06] <blizzle> numus, Are you familiar with Virtualbox?
[01:06] <numus> blizzle yes
[01:06] <Newb> I know a little unix, but it is just too different
[01:06] <numus> blizzle and vmware
[01:06] <Newb> I will just have to get windows 7
[01:06] <numus> newb what is your problem
[01:06] <blizzle> Newb, Nonsense.
[01:06] <redvamp128> though numus I think you may need to mount the drive first before you can have the write permissions-- check -- nautilus
[01:06] <^hashbang^> LordKenTheGreat: it can yes... I'm just not the kernel expert... I know enough but that's pushin it a bit
[01:06] <Newb> Well, how do I get help?
[01:06] <|ns|nR8> yep i think you'd be better off with windows Newb
[01:06] <blizzle> Newb, Ubuntu is easier than Windows to learn. If my mom can use it, you can.
[01:06] <rww> !ask | Newb
[01:06] <numus> redvamp128 the problem is how do i mount the drive when it is currently mounted via a virtual mount
[01:07] <rww> !patience | Newb
[01:07] <hyperbuddha> i wonder is there vnc or some facsimilie thereof built in to ubuntu
[01:07] <LordKenTheGreat> hyperbuddha: Vino?
[01:07] <^hashbang^> Newb: what do you need help with?
[01:07] <Newb> !ask how do I get superuser?
[01:07] <numus> redvamp128 as far as ubuntu knows... the drive is mounted... what i need to do is get access outside of the boot structure
[01:07] <rww> !vnc | hyperbuddha
[01:07] <blizzle> hyperbuddha, sudo apt-get install x11vnc tightvncserver
[01:07] <julle_> i use openbox on ubuntu 8.10, and have installed the obmenu, but the debian submenu does not show when i right click
[01:07] <^hashbang^> Newb: type sudo "then your command"
[01:07] <Newb> Well, I did an install and my updates won't install
[01:08] <Newb> Gives a command I need to invoke
[01:08] <^hashbang^> Newb: type sudo apt-get update
[01:08] <numus> newb what you trying to do
[01:08] <blizzle> Newb, sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[01:08] <Newb> When I enter the command it says I need to be super user
[01:08] <Newb> Install flash
[01:08] <redvamp128> numus:  open places and see if there is another drive there.
[01:08] <^hashbang^> Newb: type sudo apt-get update
[01:08] <Newb> I can't update
[01:08] <blizzle> Newb, Type the above into a terminal..
[01:08] <hyperbuddha> thanx
[01:08] <^hashbang^> Newb: are you even reading what i'm typing
[01:08] <Scunizi> sounds like apt is locked for Newb // numus ^hashbang^
[01:08] <Newb> Yes
[01:08] <Newb> Type it into a shell?
[01:08] <redvamp128> Newb:  you need to enable restricted before you can install flash-- it is in mediabuntu
[01:08] <^hashbang^> Newb: yes
[01:09] <numus> blizzle redvamp128 it isnt that big a deal.. windows media player 12 just sucks and wished to use ubuntu to play videos till the bugs are worked out
[01:09] <Jeaton> how do I copy an entire directory into another directory
[01:09] <Newb> How does one enable restricted?
[01:09] <^hashbang^> Jeaton: cp -a /dir /dir2
[01:09] <numus> newb you did setup a password correct? that is a big problem from windows to ubuntu users.. you need to setup an admin password .. blank usually causes problems
[01:09] <Jeaton> simple enough, thanks
[01:09] <Newb> I did upon install
[01:09] <^hashbang^> Jeaton: np
[01:09] <bartek_> newb: ask google for "repositories ubuntu"
[01:09] <guckle> what does "unable to find open framebuffer device" mean ?
[01:09] <blizzle> hyperbuddha, If you want to share a desktpo session, use x11vnc, if you want to have a separate x session, use tightvncserver. x11vnc needs root. commands: tightvncserver or sudo x11vnc
[01:10] <Newb> ok
[01:10] <numus> i am makign a big mistake enabling the beta repo and updating everything
[01:10] <hyperbuddha> thanx u guys rock
[01:10] <redvamp128> newb- system-- administration - software sources =then checmark the bottom restricted and multiverse.
[01:10] <usser> blizzle, i dont think x11vnc really needs root
[01:10] <Newb> ok
[01:10] <redvamp128> Newb:  then close-- let it do its thing --then open up synaptic package manger-- then you should see flash listed
[01:10] <blizzle> usser, Seems to require it here.
[01:10] <judget> Im brain dead does anyone remember the command to refresh or force an update of the dependancy libraries?
[01:11] <numus> usser you are running a problem with alternate drivers.. usually requires admin
[01:11] <numus> err program
[01:11] <numus> judget that sudo apt-get update should get those
[01:11] <Newb> restricted and multiverse are checked
[01:11] <redvamp128> newb -- click close and let it update
[01:12] <Newb> they were already checked
[01:12] <judget> no I mean there was a command to force the system to update its list of the dependant libraries
[01:12] <redvamp128> Newb:  then after it closes-- open up synaptic package manger
[01:12] <redvamp128> Newb:  you should see the following-- Flashplugin-nonfree
[01:12] <unop> judget, update to what tho?  the newer versions in the ubuntu repositories?
[01:12] <Jufis> hello
[01:12] <Newb> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[01:12] <Newb> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[01:13] <Jufis> how can I get xchat-gnome to automatically auth in quakenet?
[01:13] <bartek_> newb: so do it with sud in front
[01:13] <blizzle> Newb, So run: sudo dpkg --configure -a from a terminal.
[01:13] <bartek_> sorry sudo
[01:13] <judget> I just built the libflav for flash but my gstreamer is still saying the flashdeps are missing
[01:13] <wolter> is there any danger for a partition when it is going to be expanded?
[01:14] <^hashbang^> wolter: are you resizing your partition?
[01:14] <numus> gotta love how ubuntu can reload specific system files without restarting. crap
[01:14] <judget> there was a command to force the system to update its "paths" for deps
[01:14] <numus> ust have just hit a media player update.. just stoped my video
[01:14] <Newb> Can you be more descriptive?
[01:14] <redvamp128> Newb:  applications- accessories -- terminal
[01:14] <blizzle> Newb: sudo = super user (administrator) do
[01:14] <Newb> Thank s
[01:14] <wolter> ^hashbang^: yes, but i am making it bigger
[01:14] <wolter> ^hashbang^: i also think it is going to be moved, for i will make it bigger both to the left and to  the right
[01:14] <^hashbang^> wolter: ok...are you using gparted? if so, no worries
[01:15] <wolter> ^hashbang^: i am, so thanks =D
[01:15] <redvamp128> blizzle:  pm?
[01:15] <unop> blizzle, actually it's  Substitute User DO  .. as you can become other users not necessarily the superuser
[01:15] <judget> ther was a command something like libdep
[01:15] <^hashbang^> wolter: it will just take some time... grab something to drink, take nap (if the drive is really big)
[01:15] <numus> ^hashbang^ redvamp128 blizzle as long as i can mount an ntfs drive over a samba network share.. i dont need to access my ntfs partition over wubi.. just would have been a nice ittle side thing
[01:15] <Newb> Think I will figure this out?
[01:15] <Newb> Ok, thanks so muchblizzle
[01:15] <blizzle> Newb, Linux is often very helpful is you only read the messages. sudo is key. put that before anything that doesn't otherwise work when running terminal commands :)
[01:16] <Newb> Gotcha
[01:16] <Newb> That is great, thanks
[01:16] <numus> newb there is a lot to ubuntu.. but it is amazing how high quality the free stuff is
[01:16] <wolter> ^hashbang^: lol.. i am resizing from 100gb to 393gb
[01:16] <Newb> Oh, I know
[01:16] <Newb> What an amazing piece of technology
[01:16] <KDB9000> I am having some trouble with my sound on DVD playback. The sound for everything else seems to work just fine but when I do a DVD it gets all messed up. I am running audio though an HDMI cable to an HDML TV using an ATi HD 3450 with DVI to HDMI adapter and 8.12 crystal driver all on a Dell Optiplex GX260 amd running Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10). Anyone have any thoughts or anything for me to try?
[01:16] <numus> blizzle what system config did you try virtualbox and wubi on
[01:16] <redvamp128> blizzle:  -- gksu  is more apt for graphical applications
[01:16] <Newb> I must say Open Office is the most amazing software
[01:16] <redvamp128> !sudo | Newb:
[01:16] <^hashbang^> wolter: hmm, yea... a nap would be good =).. and I'm not joking =)
[01:16] <Newb> I turn everyone on to it
[01:17] <numus> blizzle running Core 2 duo E5600 with a radeon x1400 320 gig 7200 rpm drive and 4 gigs of ddr2 667mhz mem
[01:17] <Newb> Ok, quick question
[01:17] <wolter> ^hashbang^: haha i bet
[01:17] <numus> and now i am having streaming issues
[01:17] <Newb> I am really busy and I don't have a lot of time to learn a new OS, what is the easiest install of Linux to use
[01:17] <wolter> ^hashbang^: thanks, you gave me confidence to do it =D i guess ill be off for a while
[01:17] <blizzle> redvamp128, Sure, gksudo (or alt+f2) always useful :)
[01:17] <Newb> I am so glad you guys are here though, thank you so much
[01:17] <^hashbang^> wolter: ok cheers and good luck
[01:18] <blizzle> unop, substitute user. Ah, ok. Guess my info is corrupt. *laugh*
[01:18] <ElCapitan> Yesterday everything was fine, today all my titel bars are missing, my second HD is not automounting and when it does its not showing my folders in Places like I had them arranged, any ideas?
[01:18] <numus> updating to beta software was a baddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd idea
[01:18] <^hashbang^> Newb: ubuntu is very easy to learn for the most part... any issues you have, the channel is here and always remember. Google.com is your best friend =)
[01:18] <Newb> I tried searching
[01:18] <^hashbang^> numus: hench the word "beta"
[01:19] <numus> ^hashbang^ if i disable the beta repo will all my software revert back to stable
[01:19] <Krypton> hi, umm does anyone know why my wine can't run games at full screen like urban terror and halo?
[01:19] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[01:19] <^hashbang^> numus: hmm, not if the packages have already been updated
[01:19] <blizzle> numus, Do you meant jaunty?
[01:19] <bartek_> Elcapitain: check priviledges in your home folder
[01:19] <numus> naa i enabled the prerelease repo
[01:19] <blizzle> numus, Or do you mean "proposed updates"?
[01:19] <LordKenTheGreat> ^hashbang^: Memtest passed.
[01:19] <nDuff> Krypton, first, does the site at winehq.com say those games are expected to work?
[01:19] <numus> and unsupported updates
[01:20] <nDuff> Krypton, second, is 3D acceleration working right for native games?
[01:20] <LordKenTheGreat> I'll see if my attempt at blacklisting the acx module works.
[01:20] <redvamp128> Krypton:  Ask in #winehq as well
[01:20] <numus> blizzle which was a bad idea.. i knew it before i clicked them.. but i cant stop myself
[01:20] <Krypton> how do I know if 3d accel. is not working right?
[01:20] <^hashbang^> Krypton: last I checked wine wasn't the best thing to run big 3dfx windows games. try crossover for linux
[01:20] <blizzle> numus, so disable the repos and reinstall everything. job done :)
[01:20] <Krypton> also, why cant i run urban terror naitvely? I have to use wine.
[01:20] <^hashbang^> LordKenTheGreat: well, that's a good sign...
[01:20] <numus> blizzle if i do a apt-get update and upgrade will it revert everything?
[01:20] <Krypton> I downloaded the zip like they said but there is no file for .deb
[01:20] <Newb> you guys are great
[01:20] <LordKenTheGreat> I'll report back if it resolves the problem.
[01:21] <Newb> Thanks for everything
[01:21] <LordKenTheGreat> Thanks for helping!
[01:21] <redvamp128> Krypton:  here is the deb for the game Ubuntu Software Search <http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=urban>
[01:21] <numus> blizzle nope it wont
[01:21] <blizzle> numus, No. You have to resort to command line kungfu.
[01:21] <redvamp128> Krypton:  oops sorry here is the link Urban Terror <http://www.getdeb.net/app/Urban+Terror>
[01:21] <numus> blizzle NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[01:21] <redvamp128> Krypton you need the first two on the list
[01:21] <numus> blizzle i will just use this unsupported stuff till fixes come out
[01:22] <^hashbang^> Krypton: if you are downloading windows games to play on linux, then it's best that you either 1. not play windows games on linux, or 2. get crossover for linux to run the windows games, or 3. get games that run under linux and that were made for linux =) problem solved
[01:22] <Toto> that asla the lewing frouch !
[01:22] <blizzle> numus, I'm running jaunty. It works well enough.
[01:23] <Krypton> yes, they said urban teror was linux native but I cant find a file that runs str8 from linux
[01:23] <redvamp128> Krypton:  here it is Urban Terror <http://www.getdeb.net/app/Urban+Terror>
[01:23] <^hashbang^> Krypton: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Urban+Terror this link has it
[01:24] <^hashbang^> redvamp128: I copied your line =)
[01:24] <numus> blizzle still trying to figure out if it is possible to access the primary ntfs partition while booted onto a virtual ext3 partition.. probably will take me most of tomorrow at work to figure out the shortcut
[01:24] <Krypton> yes but do i have to redownload the whole urban terror or just the >1 MB file
[01:24] <^hashbang^> Krypton: the whole game
[01:24] <blizzle> numus, sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
[01:24] <redvamp128> Krypton:  you need both files--
[01:24] <^hashbang^> Krypton: it was compiled to run under linux
[01:25] <Krypton> will it go faster than the one on wine?
[01:25] <numus> blizzle did that.. but ntfs tools shades out to uncheckable internal drives
[01:25] <^hashbang^> Krypton: man I'd hope so.. I've never tried it before
[01:25] <redvamp128> Krypton : should run even faster provided you have ATI/NVidia Drivers installed ... but yes should run faster.
[01:25] <blizzle> numus, try running as sudo from a command line.
[01:25] <numus> blizzle i did.. it is already installed
[01:26] <obf213> my sftp doesnt work
[01:26] <numus> ntfs-config is already the newest version.
[01:26] <obf213> with nautilus
[01:27] <^hashbang^> obf213: ? what do you mean? explain
[01:27] <blizzle> numus, check /media/ for signs of a windows partition. also: man mount and apt-cache search ntfs are commands to try.
[01:27] <obf213> ^hashbang^, it alwasy says "error wehn logging in" or it says "timed out" or soemthing.
[01:28] <obf213> i can't get to my afs folder its a nuisance.
[01:28] <^hashbang^> obf213: what's the command u are using?
[01:28]  * blizzle disappears for quite some time.
[01:28] <obf213> hashbang. i m using places->connect to server
[01:28] <redvamp128> numus-- pastebin the following -- sudo fdkisk -l
[01:28] <obf213> im trying to use nautilus since its convenient to view afs folder as browser
[01:28] <redvamp128> numus:  sudo fdisk -l
[01:28] <numus> redvamp128 funny you asked that... i just read my fdisk -l
[01:28] <^hashbang^> obf213: doh! oh ok...
[01:29] <numus> http://pastebin.com/mccab59f
[01:29] <ElCapitan> Help! Yesterday everything was fine with my comp except nautilus always force closes, today all my title bars are missing, my second HD is not automounting and when it does its not showing my folders in Places like I had them arranged, any ideas?
[01:29] <numus> looks like sda2 is my primary ntfs partition.. you can see how wubi restructures
[01:31] <miggilinme> Is there some kind of holiday going on in the US?
[01:31] <numus> opps.. i take that back
[01:31]  * ^hashbang^ needs to take a rest, I'll see you all tomorrow...
[01:31] <numus> that is just the swap drive and the primary ubuntu partition
[01:31] <numus> i didnt read the block size correct lol
[01:31] <numus> interesting how it is using the full 320.. when wubi is limited to like 20 gigs
[01:31] <redvamp128> miggilinme:  no-- next holidays are Valentines Day Feb 14 and Presidents day 16th
[01:32] <miggilinme> redvamp: it seems all the IRC networks are unusually dry
[01:33] <Prometheus1981> Hak5 channel is moving
[01:33] <palomer> hello
[01:33] <numus> blizzle redvamp128 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA i found the work around in less time then i thought
[01:33] <palomer> how do I find out my version of gtk?
[01:34] <medb> I'm trying to use winetricks to install dotnet11 and dotnet20. Both versions of MS .NET fail. Any suggestions?
[01:35] <numus> blizzle you still there?
[01:35] <Tyreus> Hi, i ve probs with the automount of NTFS-partitions. Can anyone help me pls.
[01:36] <Krypton> im back, with no luck
[01:36] <numus> how do i create a link to a folder on the desktop?
[01:36] <bartek_> hashbang: what do you mean "crossover" for games?
[01:36] <fxhp> Right click and click create launcher
[01:36] <Krypton> I am getting these lines that move whenever I open up any game in full screen mode, but when I emulate a desktop to a res smaller than mine it works
[01:36] <fxhp> numus
[01:37] <numus> fxhp
[01:37] <Jeaton> how do I move all files(not the directory) into another directory?
[01:37] <numus> fxhp what is the command for that
[01:37] <numus> fxhp to open a folder in launcher
[01:37] <linuxman410> does anyone know if the non dual cores will run a 64 bit operating system
[01:37] <ElCapitan> bartek, I didnt see what you were talking about but Crossover is software that lets you use Windows apps/ games on Linux
[01:39] <numus> ok here is a good one.. remotedesktop client.. how do you minimize that stupid thing
[01:40] <Newb> One other question
[01:40] <Newb> I have an old Dazzle Video capture device
[01:40] <Newb> Anyone ever heard of a driver for it and MythTV?
[01:40] <fxhp> numus: nautilus path
[01:41] <redvamp128> Newb:  you can install myth-desktop it is in synaptic-- and is a window manger-
[01:41] <fxhp> numus: example - open root of ubuntu partition... (nautilus /)
[01:41] <ElCapitan> Just realized something, somehow my Windows Patrition started mounting it self where my Second HDD should be mounting, any ideas how to correct this?
[01:41] <fxhp> nautilus /
[01:41] <redvamp128> Newb:  I would have to research the Dazzle part but that is mythtv (mythbuntu)
[01:42] <numus> fxhp ya got that part.. i forgot nautilus.. ever use remotedesktop client?
[01:42] <Newb> Ok
[01:42] <fxhp> numus: yes, what about it?
[01:42] <jrib> ElCapitan: checked /etc/fstab?
[01:42] <poking> ##c++
[01:42] <poking> ls
[01:42] <fluitfries> is there a way to tell apt-get to use a different mirror?  i'm stalling out on gulus.usherbrooke.ca
[01:42] <poking> help
[01:42] <Newb> I occasionally have to run windows programs like Corel Draw
[01:42] <numus> fxhp how do you minimize the stupid thing without disconnecting lol
[01:43] <numus> ctrl alt enter is suppose to window it.. might try that
[01:43] <ElCapitan> jrib, I have seen more then one howto on how fstab and it just doesnt sink in
[01:43] <Newb> Is VMware the best emulator?
[01:43] <redvamp128> Newb:  | Mythbuntu <http://mythbuntu.org/>   -- in the synaptic package manager it is - mythbuntu-desktop
[01:43] <numus> newb loaded question... some people like vmware.. others virtualbox
[01:43] <Newb> I am downloading
[01:43] <Newb> Thank you red
[01:43] <Tokoloshe> you can configure apt-get to use p2p
[01:43] <fxhp> numus: not sure, never had that issue
[01:43] <numus> fxhp lol
[01:43] <fluitfries> ElCapitan: fstab is just a list of the devices that will be mounted.  each line contains the details for that mount point.
[01:44] <redvamp128> Newb:  personally I like -- Virtual Box not the Ose (the sun version) it has better guest additions.
[01:44] <numus> fxhp thankk god.. alt-ctrl-enter windows it so you can minimize
[01:44] <bartek_> Elcapitain: 1st check ownerships of files in /home/username/
[01:44] <Newb> Ok, I'll look into it
[01:44] <Newb> Thank you all
[01:44] <ElCapitan> fluitfries, what am I looking for? I know the Windows partition is at /media/disk and my second hdd is /media/disk-1 but it supposed to just be disk
[01:45] <numus> oh god.. i think my old dell 8250 server just crashed for the 2nd time in 2 days
[01:45] <BotLobsta> does anyone know why i cant directly access my hard drives even though im part of the disk group?
[01:45] <numus> i have already restructured the drive and installed windows xp pro on it like 3 times in the past 2 days
[01:45] <redvamp128> Newb:  Look at the bottom of the page-- Linux_Downloads - VirtualBox <http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads>
[01:45] <ElCapitan> fluitfries I just unmounted the windows partition so /media/disk is free right now
[01:45] <albertus> help me, i have ubuntu 8.10. i have instaled apache anda php4 but when i try open php in browser will show like this http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e283/ardantus/stats.jpg can anyone help me why this happen?
[01:45] <fluitfries> ElCapitan: sudo fdisk -l to see all of your hdd devices.  then sudo nano /etc/fstab and add a line for the device you want to mount.  look at the file itself to see how to structure the line.
[01:45] <redvamp128> Newb:  I would also suggest-- installing Dkms in addition to the Virtual Box.... it will make kernel updates easier without having to reconfigure virtual box each time.
[01:46] <redvamp128> !dkms | Newb:
[01:47] <fluitfries> is there a way to tell apt-get to use a different mirror?  i'm stalling out on gulus.usherbrooke.ca
[01:47] <ElCapitan> sudo fdisk -l my second hd is /dev/sdb so I wamt to add that to /etc/fstab as /media/disk?
[01:48] <Tokoloshe> Why not p2p with apt-get, should be fast
[01:48] <IndyGunFreak> fluitfries: open synaptic... then settings/repositories.. then where it says "download from".. choose the server you want.
[01:49] <fluitfries> IndyGunFreak: im stuck with a console right now.  :P
[01:49] <ElCapitan> fluitfries my second hd is /dev/sdb so I want to add that to /etc/fstab as /media/disk?
[01:49] <Jeaton> how do you view what devices you currently have mounted?
[01:49] <IndyGunFreak> fluitfries: oh... sorry.. not sure how to do it via command line
[01:49] <_2> ElCapitan "/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 auto defaults 0 0"
[01:49] <fluitfries> ElCapitan: and what kind of filesystem does fdisk say it is?
[01:49] <khmer42> Our office is using 8.04 for the LTS, but have found a really annoying bug in GEdit 2.22, which has been fixed in 8.10 (GEdit 2.24). Is there a way I can update 8.04 to use GEdit 2.24 without upgrading to 8.10?
[01:49] <fluitfries> ElCapitan: you have to specify the filesystem in the line as well
[01:50] <_2> fluitfries fdisk doesn't check fs type, it only checks partition types
[01:50] <_2> ElCapitan "/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 auto defaults 0 0"
[01:50] <fluitfries> _2: that's what i meant.  :)
[01:50] <ElCapitan> fluitfries like _2 I cant find the type there but I know its ext3
[01:51] <ElCapitan> _2, just add that anywhere?
[01:51] <BotLobsta> Jeaton, you can look at /etc/mtab for everything that is mounted
[01:51] <numus> anyone know how to run compiz and watch videos at the same time?
[01:51] <_2> ElCapitan in fstab yes.
[01:51] <RampantDingo> numus: why couldnt you
[01:51] <redvamp128> fluitfries:  try mount
[01:52] <redvamp128> fluitfries:  I think the command is just mount to list what is mounted
[01:52] <_2> for the record...   file -s /dev/sdb1     will list the fstype
[01:52] <Scunizi> can anyone verify on hardy or intrepid that open office base is or isn't installed... I can't find it anywhere which is puzzling
[01:52] <RantingHuman> fluitfries: I guess, you just manually change the URIs in your sources.list to a new mirrior?
[01:52] <_2> redvamp128 yes or "cat /proc/mounts"
[01:52] <fluitfries> redvamp128: dunno but i use sudo fdisk -l religiously.  :P
[01:53] <albertus> help me, i have ubuntu 8.10. i have instaled apache anda php4 but when i try open php in browser will show like this http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e283/ardantus/stats.jpg can anyone help me why this happen?
[01:53] <fluitfries> RantingHuman: yea i guess so.  :/
[01:53] <TML> Does ubuntu have an equivalent to /etc/debian_version that tells the Ubuntu release?
[01:53] <redvamp128> _2:  I like that one better as to the fact that it also gives UUID
[01:53] <RantingHuman> maybe write a script for it ;)
[01:54] <fxhp> TML : cmd uname -a
[01:54] <unop> !version | TML
[01:54] <_2> redvamp128 you'll like  "blkid" also then.
[01:54] <fluitfries> yay i fixed it!
[01:54] <TML> "lsb-release -a" - awesome
[01:54] <_2> redvamp128 or  df -h      ftw :)))
[01:54] <TML> fxhp: uname just tells the kernel. lsb-release works. :)
[01:54] <tanne> hello:)
[01:54] <_2> TML is it dash or underscore ?
[01:55] <fluitfries> compiz ruined my wm, but moving all my user settings files out and creating new ones fixes it.  :)
[01:55] <RantingHuman> ah :)
[01:55] <kwsn> Question, how do you turn off the one panel that you cant right click and remove?
[01:55] <fermuch> holas
[01:55] <Scunizi> kwsn: what panel is that?
[01:55] <TML> _2: Well, it's /etc/lsb-release and /usr/bin/lsb-release
[01:55] <numus> rampantdingo what you mean
[01:55] <timeless> could someone tell me which package has "update-rc.d"? i managed to uninstall it and don't know how to get it back
[01:55] <TML> err
[01:55] <TML> _2: Well, it's /etc/lsb-release and /usr/bin/lsb_release
[01:55] <kwsn> Scunizi: the Gnome one
[01:56] <Scunizi> kwsn: there are 2 default panels in gnome.. which one .. upper or lower
[01:56] <kwsn> Scunizi: uh... the one that has "applications" on it by default
[01:56] <unop> TML, this should work on most distros (and where lsb isn't installed)   cat /etc/*{version,release,issue}*
[01:57] <Tokoloshe> ir the checkbox lock panel selected
[01:57] <albertus> wah
[01:57] <albertus> question, i have ubuntu 8.10. i have instaled apache anda php4 but when i try open php in browser will show like this http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e283/ardantus/stats.jpg can anyone help me why this happen?
[01:57] <danbhfive> albertus: why php4?
[01:57] <fluitfries> still can't hit usherbrooke even with synaptic.  :(
[01:58] <Scunizi> kwsn: you should be able to remove that with a right mouse click.. works on my sys.  if you want to remove the whole thing then find a blank area in the middle of it and try again.. if you only want to remove the "applications/Places/system" portion right click on that.. make sure "lock to panel" isn't checked
[01:58] <unop> timeless,  dpkg -S $(which update-rc.d)
[01:58] <unop> sysv-rc: /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
[01:58] <albertus> danbhfive, so do you have any idea
[01:58] <TML> unop: /etc/issue gives some pretty mixed results on Debian, in my experience.
[01:58] <unop> timeless, you could also use http://packages.ubuntu.com/  to do lookups
[01:58] <redvamp128> _2:  pm?
[01:59] <kwsn> "Delete this panel" is grayed out though Scunizi
[01:59] <unop> TML, hmm, in mine, /etc/issue has been spot on as far as i can remember on debian
[01:59] <danbhfive> albertus: heh, well, it looks like you are running php5, I guess I didn't need to ask.  Try this: sudo tasksel install lamp-server                   or        sudo apt-get install lamp-server^         if you want to see the packages installed
[02:00] <sarperdag> u:tonyhauber
[02:01] <timeless> :(
[02:01] <timeless> dpkg: `update-rc.d` not found on PATH
[02:01] <timeless> (which itself is a screwy error message)
[02:01] <a1fa_> i'm having a problem upgrading 7.04 to 8.10 server edition.. is it advisable to change sources manually and run dist-upgrade?
[02:02] <albertus> danbhfive, ok i will try it
[02:02] <unop> timeless, does.  sudo aptitude install sysv-rc #not work?
[02:02] <redvamp128> a1fa_:  I would ask in #ubuntu-server
[02:02] <a1fa_> thanks
[02:02] <fluitfries> can anyone ping gulus.usherbrooke.ca?
[02:02] <MenZa> negatory, fluitfries.
[02:02] <fluitfries> poo!
[02:02] <Adrian`> that's a negative
[02:03] <Adrian`> i'm trying to install gfxboot
[02:03] <fluitfries> just when i need the repos!.  :(
[02:03] <Tokoloshe> you cant go from 7.04 to 8.10 directly
[02:03] <Adrian`> just install from scrach
[02:03] <Royall> Question: When Ubuntu is in the Suspend state, do bit torrent applications like Deluge still seed/download data?
[02:04] <thesquib> I've had a lot of troubles getting lirc to work with an ehome usb infrared receiver on ubuntu 8.10
[02:04] <kandu> I'v pinged gulus.usherbrooke.ca. 100% lost
[02:04] <TML> unop: Well, it could be just the way I run my systems, then. :)
[02:05] <thesquib> For some reason lirc never sets up a device name in /dev/
[02:05] <timeless> sorry
[02:06] <timeless> /usr/share/sysvinit/update-rc.d
[02:06] <timeless> the error message was unforunate
[02:06] <DasEi> fluitfries: 100 % loss
[02:06] <bartek_> anybody have experience with remote control hp rc6?
[02:06] <redvamp128> fluitfries:  what package do you need?
[02:07] <redvamp128> fluitfries:  please be specific-- because I can grab it for you on packages-- and give you a direct link to a .deb
[02:08] <Dillizar> i think somebody is trying to get in my pc! how can i check that
[02:08] <fluitfries> redvamp128: thanks but i'm ok now, i needed to reinstall xubuntu-desktop but since i wiped out my X settings i can get back in to X now.  thanks though!
[02:08] <redvamp128> Dillizar:  1st place to check is the system logs..
[02:09] <DasEi> Dillizar: check wireshark
[02:09] <Dillizar> DasEi, i need to d-l it
[02:09] <olragon> I want to make a ubuntu based network deployment. Which software should i use?
[02:09] <ElCapitan> _2 hey that didnt seem to work, my fstab looks different then examples that I have seen on tutorials and how to forsome reason
[02:10] <_2> ElCapitan you added the line i gave ?     issue   sudo mount -a
[02:11] <olragon> I want to deploy ubuntu over network? Which is the best method for me?
[02:11] <_2> ElCapitan and note i did assume that you have a partition on that disk, there is no law that says you have to have a partition, i personally don't use them.  so if it's a filesystem without a partition change the   /dev/sdb1 to /dev/sdb
[02:12] <DasEi> Dillizar: http://www.wireshark.org/download.html
[02:12] <DasEi> olragon:more info about deploy ?
[02:12] <Dillizar> k i download it and installed it DasEi now what i need to do
[02:13] <_2> yipe! i just hung my only superuser access to this box....    looks like i'll have to reboot to gain control of it.
[02:13] <mcnellis> my laptop has an AMD Turion 64 processor I think it's like 2.4GHz but when I cat /proc/cpuinfo it says 800MHz. I've noticed the processor is running at a high % a lot of the time and intensive websites like gmail and facebook temporarily freeze every page load so I can tell the processor is probably running at 800MHz, def not the speed it should be at. I remember i dropped my laptop once or twice, but it's been running fine for months since that's
[02:13] <mcnellis> happened, well besides the fact that CPU is running slow could it be that my processor got a bit unseated on the fall or something and tha'ts why it's running slow, but still running. nothing ever fails it's just hte processor runs really slow, apparently at 800MHz
[02:14] <olragon> DasEi: I want to deploy a customized ubuntu version for my opensource training lab.
[02:15] <ElCapitan_> _2, that didnt seem to work, my fstab seems different then examples I have seen online (sorry if you saw this and resonded, my connection froze had to reconnect)
[02:15] <gsp2009> hello all.
[02:15] <timeless> unop: aptitude definitely fails, since i don't have it
[02:15] <timeless> /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -> /usr/share/sysvinit/update-rc.d
[02:15] <timeless> (that file doesn't exist)
[02:15] <_2> ElCapitan you added the line i gave ?     issue   sudo mount -a
[02:15] <unop> timeless, you could replace aptitude with apt-get there
[02:15] <_2> ElCapitan and note i did assume that you have a partition on that disk, there is no law that says you have to have a partition, i personally don't use them.  so if it's a filesystem without a partition change the   /dev/sdb1 to /dev/sdb
[02:16] <wartalker> if i install the application use *.deb, how i uninstall it
[02:16] <unop> timeless, or download the sysv-rc package and install it manually with dpkg
[02:16] <unop> wartalker, as you normally would with the package manager i.e. synaptic, apt-get, aptitude, etc
[02:16] <fluitfries> _2: no partition??
[02:16] <_2> wartalker apt-get remove package-name
[02:16] <Dillizar> what is Gnome-vfs
[02:16] <ElCapitan> _2 I added "/dev/sdb /media/disk auto defaults 0 0"
[02:17] <Dillizar> what is Gnome-vfs-deamon
[02:17] <_2> fluitfries no partition.   correct.
[02:17] <wartalker> unop: i mean i use dpkg -i *.deb, then how i uninstall it
[02:17] <_2> ElCapitan and you don't have any partition on that device ?
[02:17] <fluitfries> _2: i'm gonna have to look into that.  :)
[02:17] <unop> wartalker, just as i said
[02:17] <wartalker> _2: if i use dpkg -i xxx.deb, then how i uninstall it
[02:17] <gsp2009> does anyone know for sure if the laptop killing bug has been resolved?
[02:17] <jrib> !away > spass_away
[02:17] <_2> wartalker apt-get remove package-name
[02:18] <spass_away> jrib: aye, sry
[02:18] <_2> gsp2009 laptop killing bug ?
[02:18] <jrib> gsp2009: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695
[02:18] <jrib> gsp2009: erm, sorry for the double url
[02:18] <ElCapitan> _2 /dev/sbd is not partioned just a ext3 500gb HDD
[02:19] <_2> ElCapitan ok then issue the   sudo mount -a     and see what it says
[02:19] <ElCapitan> _2 and I would like it to mount to /media/disk
[02:19] <olragon> I want to deploy a customized version of ubuntu over network (PXE). I have a server with dhcp3-server,pxe installed. How can I deploy ubuntu to my client in the same network?
[02:20] <ElCapitan> _2 /dev/sdb already mounted or /media/disk busy and then it says  according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /media/disk
[02:20] <jillian> hi all...i'm having a problem..i upgraded to 8.10 yesterday and i don't know if it's related but my frostwire and other programs are unstable now.. when i try to load my frostwire only a blank screen loads.
[02:21] <_2> ElCapitan again, i know it can be done, and do use partitionless disks,  but just to make sure we are on the same page of music.  how did you format (make the filesystem) on the disk ?
[02:21] <redvamp128> jillian:  for frostwire you could try installing an updated version from getdeb.net
[02:21] <DPic> so adobe released flash for 64-bit linux, but is that what's included in jaunty or does it still just use the 32-bit version?
[02:21] <Webstrand> I am having problems with the command mount -a. It returns the errors http://pastebin.com/d700c136e my /etc/fstab file is http://pastebin.com/m26ddca81. How can i fix this?
[02:21] <jrib> !jaunty | DPic
[02:21] <jillian> should this solve my problem
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> jillian: or try downloading the updated version from frostwire.com  the other thing, start frostwire in a terminal by typing frostwire at the prompt, and see if you get any errors
[02:21] <jillian> it was running fine before
[02:21] <ElCapitan> _2 /dev/sdb is ext3
[02:21] <redvamp128> jillian:  for programs like that are not OS dependent -- you should download and install the new one for the new os
[02:22] <_2> ElCapitan because if /dev/sdb1 is mounted. then there is "ABSOULTELY" a partition on that device.   i.e. you can't mount what doesn't exist.
[02:22] <kop> !chat
[02:22] <DPic> jrib, i'm just curious
[02:22] <redvamp128> jillian:  new os -- new set of rules--
[02:22] <DPic> it's not really a support question
[02:22] <jrib> DPic: sure, but #ubuntu+1 is the place to ask about jaunty
[02:22] <DPic> oh ok
[02:22] <DPic> sorry
[02:22] <jillian> oh ok...i'll try the errors
[02:22] <Dillizar> how can i make a defragment my hdd
[02:23] <_2> ElCapitan >>> <ElCapitan> _2 /dev/sdb is ext3 <<<< does NOT tell me how you formated it.   what command or application did you use ?
[02:23] <redvamp128> jillian:  the only thing the upgrade did was update system files not programs that were compiled to run with the old os-- a newer version should  make it run .
[02:23] <olragon> Dillizar: with extf3 you don't need to defrag hdd
[02:23] <djnel> Hi, I'm using vista and don't know why anymore. I'm proficient with computers, my concern is using a newer laptop, whats the norm for everything just working fairly easily after install. My concernes would be my NIC and Dualscreen support for Nvidea. I'd have to nuke my windows partition as windows gives access denied error msg, drive passes all tests, I'm done with troubleshooting microsoft :Þ
[02:23] <ElCapitan> _2 my primary HDD that the OS resides on is Dual Booting Windows 7 and partioned, I have been using the Second HDD for over a year and got it from a freind and never formatted it myself
[02:23] <Dillizar> olragon, NICE :D
[02:23] <redvamp128> jillian:  though I would go into synaptic package manager and remove the old frostwire before installing the new
[02:24] <_2> ElCapitan or lets go at this another way.   what does this command return?   grep sdb1 /proc/partitions
[02:24] <Webstrand> djnel, i have an NVidia card, and runs dual screen fine.
[02:24] <jillian> ok..i'll do that thanx
[02:24] <jillian> what is the best way to download the updated one...from the site??
[02:24] <IndyGunFreak> jillian: are all your programs unstable, or just frostwire?
[02:24] <olragon> I need help to deploy Ubuntu over network? Anyone have experience?
[02:25] <jillian> actually...my firefox minimize line has disappeared...
[02:25] <ElCapitan> _2  8    17  488384001 sdb1
[02:25] <_2> ElCapitan you have a partition on sdb   so mount sdb1 like i said the first time!
[02:25] <redvamp128> jillian:  once you remove the old here is a link to the new http://www.getdeb.net/app/Frostwire
[02:25] <djnel> Webstrand: Awesome... have to make sure I can watch my movies ;) Thanks :)
[02:25] <Scunizi> djnel: got a friend with a functional computer.. have him/her download the Desktop live cd and burn the iso to a cd.. then boot to it on your laptop and see if things work there.. if they do .. install and smile ..:)
[02:25] <scrolls> pwn
[02:25] <bartek_> djnel: dualscreen is no problem - nvidia-settings; defragment partition under win with some smart tool -defragler as i remember
[02:25] <jillian> ok...hold on guys...let me see what the terminal says
[02:26] <jillian> then i'll go from there...i'm still new to ubuntu so stick with me here
[02:26] <Scunizi> djnel: keeping in mind that full nvidia support isn't there until after the install.  but you shouldn't have a problem
[02:26] <djnel> Ive got the cd all good to go, only fault was couldnt shrink the partition to make space for Ubuntu and dualboot... I'm thinking just nuke the main windows, change the data to fat32 and give'er
[02:26] <_2> ElCapitan the disk /dev/sdb is partitioned.   probably contains one primary partition.   you have a filesystem within the partition.    you can't mount the disk.  you can't mount a partition. you can only mount a filesystem.  the filesystem is within the first primary partition, on the device.  so mount   /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/disk   and be happy with it.
[02:26] <Scunizi> djnel: you have a partition with fat32?
[02:27] <bartek_> djnel: do shring with ubuntu installer
[02:27] <aziz> i'm missing gst-inspect, what do i have to install from the repository?
[02:27] <NW> how to install freebsd to dual-boot with my current ubuntu OS?
[02:27] <Daft_Punk> does the naitive ps3 OS use linux core
[02:27] <Scunizi> djnel: your new file system for ubuntu will be ext3.. if you have a lot of data on the fat32 partition back it up and make it go away..
[02:28] <JPSman> I am having trouble getting my virtual box to work.  can anyone help me with installing the /dev/vboxdrv ?
[02:28] <jillian> ok...all sorts of errors and nulls came up in the terminal and it does say that a new version is available...i'll try to remove this one now
[02:28] <jillian> can someone walk me through that
[02:28] <ElCapitan> _2 I will try that again, I did that the first try and thought it was a mistake since the drive I want is sdb in fstab "Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB,<PHONE_NUMBER>16 bytes". In fstab it does not list sbd1 anywhere
[02:28] <olragon> JPSman: which version of VirtualBox you are using?
[02:28] <djnel> Scunizi: currently not, 2 partitions, both ntfs, The data partition wont shrink so I'm thinking convert that to Fat32, nuke the entire windows partition... Theres barely anything I NEED on there....
[02:28] <jillian> redvamp128??
[02:29] <JPSman> olragon 1.5.0
[02:29] <JPSman> _OSE
[02:29] <redvamp128> actually go with the new version
[02:29] <jillian> or IndyGunFreak
[02:29] <_2> ElCapitan another useful command for sorting these things out is     blkid
[02:29] <IndyGunFreak> jillian: ?
[02:29] <olragon> @JPSman: which error you have?
[02:29] <redvamp128> jillian:  go with the new version
[02:29] <jillian> how do i remove the one i have now
[02:29] <_2> ElCapitan in fact more useful than fdisk
[02:29] <luser9> hi, using Hardy for a while now, wondering how to make a .zip out of a folder and all its contents. right now when I right click on a folder and "create archive", I just get a zip with an empty folder
[02:29] <Scunizi> djnel: if there's nothing there then just nuke everything.. fat32 is good for usb memory sticks but that's about it.. there's no journeling with it..
[02:29] <jillian> i'm new to ubuntu
[02:29] <jillian> don't know my way around well yet
[02:30] <IndyGunFreak> jillian: open a terminal, type "sudo apt-get remove frostwire"
[02:30] <NW> how to install freebsd to dual-boot with my current ubuntu OS?
[02:30] <jillian> ok
[02:30] <IndyGunFreak> jillian: then go to frostwire.com, and download the ubuntu .deb file, for the new version of frostwire
[02:30] <djnel> cool... next time you see me I'll be a n00b... I started in the DOS days and LOVED dos, never really liked Windows but never bothered to figure Linux out... Looking forward to the experience :) Thanks for the input
[02:30] <usser> luser9, zip -r foo.zip /directory
[02:30] <_2> well i need to reboot to "unhang" my superuser console.   brb.
[02:30] <jillian> ok...thanx
[02:31] <usser> NW, freebsd has its own bootloader not sure if grub can boot freebsd
[02:31] <JPSman> olragon: virtualBox kernel driver not installed.  the vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason (which is true)  I try to ls -l /dev/vboxdrv and is says no such file or directory
[02:31] <Scunizi> djnel: sounds like me.. you'll like it.. the gui's good to start and then you learn more at the terminal
[02:32] <_2> it takes me that long to reboot
[02:32] <jillian> ok..i got an error message in the terminal... warning: while removing frostwire, directory `/usr/lib/frostwire' not empty so not removed.
[02:32] <ElCapitan> _2 haha that was fast
[02:32] <redvamp128> jillian:  I think I may know why your tops disappeared -- goto system- preference- appearance - then visual effects-- and select none
[02:32] <prince_jammys> names
[02:32] <narcoclepsy> hi, I have ubuntu-desktop listed as a distribution update in the update manager but i can never click the checkbox. what gives?
[02:32] <Scunizi> _2: a whole minute? wow.. you should be able to get that down to at least... 55 seconds :)
[02:33] <jillian> ok...i'll do that...now what's up with the error message about frostwire
[02:33] <luser9> usser: to confirm, "foo.zip" represents the name of the file of I want to creat and "/directory" the folder that I want to compress, yes?
[02:33] <redvamp128> That sounds about like my boot time to get into KUbuntu Desktop -- gnome only takes 45 and LXDE 32
[02:33] <usser> luser9, yes
[02:33] <narcoclepsy> what gives was supposed to have a smiley after it too :-)
[02:33] <jillian> and great!! that was the problem with firefox...just did it
[02:33] <jillian> thanx
[02:34] <redvamp128> jillian:  it is probably a video driver update -- to fix that one-- but that is a fix for now.
[02:34] <bartek_> djnel: vista is always leaving some file in the middle of hdd capacity so you cannot shring it in vista more then a half of total hdd capacity - do shrinking with ubuntu installer
[02:34] <NW> usser: can i use linux swap for freebsd?
[02:34] <L|nuxPS2_> is there a way in bash to make a program run when stin is piped from stdout and that output is multiple lines?
[02:34] <dayo_> jillian: the directory was non-empty. u can try `rm -rf /usr/lib/frostwire`
[02:34] <jillian> ?? ok..you lost me
[02:34] <L|nuxPS2_> as in run the program for each line of stdout
[02:34] <redvamp128> jillian:  see if your frostwire is listed -- in your synaptic package manger--
[02:34] <usser> NW, i dont know, sorry
[02:35] <jillian> no
[02:35] <jillian> i checked earlier
[02:35] <JPSman> olragon: I think i'm having a dependancy problem...im going to try and un-install and re-install.  My virtualHD I created the other day shouldnt change right?
[02:35] <redvamp128> jillian:  it would have been under installed -- on the left
[02:35] <Daft_Punk> you know the tray icons for limewire/frostwire? how can those be changed so the background of the icon is opaque and not white?
[02:35] <L|nuxPS2_> anyone know much about piping and multiple lines in stdout
[02:35] <jillian> ok...let me check
[02:35] <jeancalvin> what's an easy way to add a program that's currently running (and is on my panel) into the startup programs list (in sessions, i guess)?
[02:36] <WebcamWonder> !fixadept
[02:36] <zimbres> I have a library named libheal.a and I am trying to link it in g++ with g++ file -L/path -lheal but it is complaining "file format not recognized". What I am doing wrong?
[02:36] <jillian> ok..i'm in package manager now and i don't see anything that says installed
[02:37] <RussM> L|nuxPS2, Sure. try "firstprog | tr \012 \00 | xargs -0 -n1 secondprog"
[02:37] <jillian> do you mean the list on the left...if so frostwire isn't there
[02:37] <redvamp128> jillian:  click the word installed
[02:37] <L|nuxPS2_> RussM: alright, i'll try that, thanks
[02:37] <olragon> @JPSMAN: you can try re-install linux-kernel-headers to fix this issue
[02:37] <redvamp128> jillian:  then move the bar up and down on the right to see more packages
[02:38] <RussM> L|nuxPS2, Wait, that passes the line as args to the second prog... sorry. You want it to pass it as stdin to secondprog?
[02:38] <jillian> where is installed
[02:38] <JPSman> olragon: the linux-kernel-headers for all of linux or just the headers for the VirtualBox?
[02:38] <L|nuxPS2_> passing it as args works too
[02:38] <luser9> usser: I get two errors: "zip warning: name not matched: /Part" and "zip warning: name not matched: I"
[02:38] <L|nuxPS2_> i haven't written the second prog so i can make it do either way
[02:38] <luser9> usser: the original folder name is Part I
[02:38] <usser> luser9, zip -r foo.zip Part\ I
[02:39] <redvamp128> actually -- jillian just see if possibly the deb from frostwire will install with the old still there
[02:39] <dayo_> L|nuxPS2_: here's some useful info: http://commandline.org.uk/2007/ten-cool-coreutils-commands/
[02:39] <jillian> ok..i'll try that...i don't see anything that says installed
[02:39] <Daft_Punk> HELP: you know the tray icons for limewire/frostwire? how can those be changed so the background of the icon is opaque and not white?
[02:39] <L|nuxPS2_> dayo_: thanks
[02:40] <redvamp128> jillian:  I think when you tried to remove it-- some of your incomplete downloads possibly could not be removed
[02:40] <porter1_> Daft_Punk, find a SVG version, or PNG one with alpha.
[02:40] <Myrth> hi
[02:40] <trent1> does the remote desktop only work for windows to ubuntu? or can i control windows computers too?
[02:40] <Daft_Punk> porter1_, i do not know where the ICON is stored though, so i dont know which one to change
[02:40] <jillian> ok...so how do i fix that
[02:40] <Myrth> when i'm running alsamixer, it shows pulseaudio with only 1 track, how do i show alsa tracks?
[02:41] <dayo_> L|nuxPS2_: u're welcome
[02:41] <redvamp128> jillian:  other than before you install -- use nautilus then find the .frostwire folder and delete that  ( you would have to show hidden)
[02:41] <porter1_> Daft_Punk, you can right click on the menu item and then select properties.
[02:41] <JPSman> what command to I run to see which version of the kernel i am running?
[02:41] <usser> trent1, use tsclient. it cad do RDP, windows remote desktop
[02:41] <porter1_> Then, if you click on the icon in the dialog, it tells you where it is.
[02:41] <redvamp128> jillian:  lets not worry about that-- the new should see the old
[02:41] <jillian> where is nautilus
[02:42] <jillian> ok...lol
[02:42] <jillian> so...go ahead and download the new one?
[02:42] <trent1> thanks usser will give it a try
[02:42] <redvamp128> jillian:  lets try that first
[02:42] <JPSman> brb
[02:42] <jillian> ok...let me try..be back soon
[02:42] <redvamp128> jillian:  for your reference-- type nautilus at the prompt and that is the file manger
[02:43] <NW> could ubuntu installed on a logical partition?
[02:43] <luser9> usser: again I got a "zip warning name etc", but it also suggested another command with an "-i" before folder name. That just gave "zip error". :(
[02:43] <jillian> ok..thanx
[02:43] <redvamp128> jillian:  for the default install of Ubuntu (unless you have Xubuntu/Kubuntu or many varients)
[02:43] <L|nuxPS2_> be right back - testing my script
[02:43] <trent1> thank you :)
[02:43] <jillian> no..i have ubuntu
[02:43] <Daft_Punk> porter1_, i am talking about the icon for frostwire in my tray... not in the menu
[02:43] <usser> luser9, hm zip -r foo.zip "Part I"
[02:43] <luser9> usser: maybe my terminal fu is no good, is there a GUI way, or better front end than file roller?
[02:44] <luser9> usser: ok trying now
[02:44] <RussM> L|nuxPS2, On second thought.... try "firstprog | tr '\n' '\000' | xargs -0 -n1 secondprog"
[02:44] <usser> luser9, well fileroller isnt bad
[02:44] <usser> luser9, i prefer xarchiver
[02:45] <porter1_> Daft_Punk, hawe you checked if there is a .frostwire folder? I don't use frostwire so I'm not sure
[02:45] <luser9> usser: hey it worked! :D
[02:45] <luser9> thx v much
[02:45] <Daft_Punk> porter1_, i have looked everywhere i could think of, including .frostwire and i cant seem to find the icon for the tray itself
[02:45] <duduli> heihei
[02:45] <porter1_> How did you install frostwire?
[02:46] <usser> luser9, no problem
[02:46] <luser9> usser: I'll give xarchiver a look, thx
[02:46] <jillian> ok...i'm about to download the frostwire...should i click open with GDebi package installer?
[02:46] <Daft_Punk> porter1_,  a deb package
[02:46] <Daft_Punk> i think
[02:47] <duduli> when ubuntu start display : waiting for cman to start? why
[02:47] <qcjn> i want to search for files that we're created in the last 2 or 3 day's. It,s on an another computer, and i'd like to do it trought terminal, cause it dosen't seem to do it with nautilus.
[02:47] <jillian> redvamp128?
[02:48] <NW> could ubuntu installed on a logical partition?
[02:48] <redvamp128> jillian:  yes I just got back
[02:49] <jillian> ok...open with GDebi package installer?
[02:49] <Numus2> y would my crtl-alt-enter inside remotedesktop client not work anymore.. it doesnt tab the window
[02:49] <redvamp128> jillian:  pm?
[02:49] <jillian> ??
[02:49] <usser> qcjn, find /directory -mtime 2
[02:49] <numus> very strange
[02:49] <redvamp128> jillian:  you should see a tab appear with my name
[02:50] <qcjn> usser: is that an application
[02:50] <jillian> yes
[02:50] <usser> qcjn, that will search for files in the /directory modified in the last two days(ie 48 hours)
[02:50] <|ns|nR8> someone tell me why ubuntu needs to send packets to <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:50] <redvamp128> jillian click it
[02:50] <usser> qcjn, yes find is an applications, command line one
[02:50] <luser9> qcjn: I'm no expert but I found a search app called Searchmonkey, a gui for terminal commands like "find"
[02:51] <kindofabuzz> when will the repos get python3 final?
[02:51] <dn4> is there a way I can upgrade my current hardy
[02:51] <dn4> to the latest alpha
[02:51] <WebcamWonder> !upgrade | dn4
[02:52] <bartek_> bya
[02:52] <bartek_> bye
[02:52] <dn4> a simple yes or no would od WebcamWonder
[02:52] <numus> y would my crtl-alt-enter inside remotedesktop client not work anymore.. it doesnt tab the window
[02:52] <kindofabuzz> dn4, read and decide for yourself
[02:52] <qcjn> before searchmonkey, ad rather do it with find if i can.
[02:52] <WebcamWonder> dn4: Certainly possible, but the official instructions don't have the upgrading to alpha part, they can upgrade you to intrepid
[02:52] <numus> redvamp128 i found my answer for the ntfs partition access
[02:53] <redvamp128> cool was it already mounted?
[02:53] <kindofabuzz> i wuouldn't advise upgrading hardy to jaunty alpha, maybe to intrepid yes
[02:53] <qcjn> But the directory is on another computer, so it would be throught Samba,,right ??
[02:53] <numus> redvamp128 ya.. it was hiding in a folder called host inside root
[02:53] <redvamp128> numus:  let me guess -- mnt
[02:53] <lasivian> how can I move a package from one PC to another, the second one has not internet
[02:53] <dn4> couldn't I just replace my apt-get repositories with alpha ones
[02:53] <numus> redvamp128 ???
[02:53] <dn4> and then do apt-get update
[02:54] <usser> qcjn, you can mount samba shares with smbmount
[02:54] <dn4> or will that break my system?
[02:54] <numus> redvamp128 nautilus /host
[02:54] <kindofabuzz> dn4, did you even read that link giving to you?
[02:54] <xnt> does anyone know how to netboot the 8.10 livecd?
[02:54] <numus> redvamp128 had to search root and then find host and look inside it and found all my ntfs file system info
[02:54] <techqbert> equery files $package will return the files installed by $package.  does apt have a similar program?  I understand with debs on GUI I can't see where files are to be installed
[02:54] <qcjn> usser, i think it's already mounted, cause i can get to it trought nautilus
[02:54] <dn4> kindofabuzz, yes
[02:54] <qcjn> usser: i just can't make the search
[02:54] <techsupport> how do i stop the mysql server ?
[02:55] <usser> qcjn, nautilus has its own virtual filesystem, its not actually mounted anywhere physically
[02:55] <qcjn> usser: ok
[02:55] <orudie> sorry for the nick change
[02:55] <usser> qcjn, man smbmount, it goes something like this smbmount //server/share /localdirectory -o User=username
[02:56] <auditya> i just installed ubuntu on my new dell inspiron and my wireless in not working
[02:56] <auditya> in the restricted drivers it shows wl
[02:56] <auditya> any suggestion ??
[02:56] <xnt> auditya: dell insprion? is it a broadcom
[02:56] <qcjn> usser: it's complicated just to find the "route to"
 wtf does ubuntu use, rc-update or something
 System -> Prefrences -> Sessions?
 oh wait, boot time. nevermind. =P
[02:57] <Malformation> * staykov has quit ("sleep")
[02:57] <FloodBot1> Malformation: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:57] <Malformation> oops wrong paste
[02:57] <SEVILLA> if alot of my memory is being cached how can i fix that
[02:57] <dn4> ok is 8.10 worth the upgrade?
[02:57] <jackal> orudie: as root in a terminal you can use /etc/init.d/mysql stop
[02:57] <dn4> like what does 8.10 offer that is special?
[02:57] <auditya> xnt: yea i guess so ..... one sec ill confirm it
[02:57] <Malformation> i want to start a few daemons at boot-time on ubuntu, anyone know how?
[02:57] <qcjn> usser: i tried once, never got it
[02:57] <virtualuser> this is a long shot BUT, Does anyone know i how you configure ubuntu to find my wireless network adapter though sun xVM virtual box  ??
[02:57] <usser> qcjn, what do you mean by find the route to?
[02:58] <usser> virtualuser, dont have to do anything special, with 2.1 you can bridge any connection to virtualbox with a click of a button
[02:58] <qcjn> usser: the name of the computer, the name of the user, directory
[02:58] <usser> virtualuser, as long as its detected by host os
[02:58] <usser> qcjn, why is it so hard?
[02:59] <auditya> xnt: yea its broadcom

[02:59] <usser> qcjn, name or ip of the computer your connecting to,
[02:59] <xnt> auditya: if its a broadcom, than you are going to pull your hair out trying to get it to work in ubuntu. I swapped my broadcom for an atheros card the moment I got it
[02:59] <blueraven> do you guys know if those small external harddrives(fit in pocket) can be used as an operating system drive?
[02:59] <qcjn> ip is easy
[02:59] <usser> qcjn, share is the name under which the share is listed on windows you can find that out through the properties on winbox
[02:59] <virtualuser> usser, i am talking to you now via a wireless connection, however ubuntu's network manager dosent seem to know it, i would like to go into monitor mode
[02:59] <qcjn> usser: good idea
[02:59] <DasEI1> blueraven: 2.5"" ? why not
[03:00] <blueraven> well, they are typically used as backup drives..they have sync software on them
[03:00] <auditya> xnt: is there any way out for this ???
[03:00] <usser> virtualuser, i am not sure what you're talking about, are u running ubuntu in the virtualbox?
[03:00] <xnt> once I had a laptop with a broadcom card, and in the restricted drivers section I found a driver , but it needed firmware
[03:00] <xnt> hold on a sec
[03:00] <usser> qcjn, the user is the user that's allowed access to the share, ie the user under which u shared the folder on windows
[03:01] <blueraven> the 500gb ones are $120 now and they fit in your pocket
[03:01] <qcjn> usser: i know the name of the computer, the name of hte user, and the share name should be the same name as under nautilus
[03:02] <usser> qcjn, yea
[03:02] <xnt> auditya: exactly which broadcom card is it, run lspci in a terminal
[03:02] <usser> qcjn, ie when it mounts with nautilus you should have an icon on the desktop, ie share on storage for example
[03:03] <qcjn> usser: i have aname + ip
[03:03] <usser> qcjn, yea so mount it. sudo smbmount //ip/share /mnt -o User=yourusername
[03:04] <chriz> #smplayer
[03:04] <qcjn> usser: i ll try
[03:04] <xnt> does anyone know how to boot 8.10 off pxe?
[03:05] <VolVE> Hey, does anyone use tee and find that if the app you're watching throws an error that it stops logging/displaying a few lines earlier? I've run the same command without going through tee and I see more lines than tee shows...
[03:06] <jgonick> Each user can set their own screen resolution...Where is this info save?  the file..Thanks
[03:06] <frost_> looks like a botnet :D Joined, quit, joined, quit ..
[03:06] <tamghar> me?
[03:06] <tamghar> what was the ip?
[03:06] <tamghar> im having some extreme difficulties
[03:06] <xnt> brb
[03:07] <akio> holy crap, I have my nick back and I haven't been disconnected yet...
[03:07] <Parasitic> yet
[03:07] <qcjn> usser: No manual entry for smbmount
[03:08] <qcjn> usser: didn,t work
[03:08] <usser> qcjn, do you have smbfs installed? sudo apt-get install smbfs
[03:08] <Scunizi> akio: register it
[03:08] <akio> its been registered for years
[03:08] <akio> grrr
[03:09] <virtualuser> i'm trying to install a driver via terminal i have an error in terminal, can i pm someone the error ?
[03:09] <qcjn> usser: don't know, i ll try to install it
[03:09] <WebcamWonder> !pastebin | virtualuser
[03:09] <jackal> VolVE: do you mean the file that tee is writing to has less output than what you see on your screen?
[03:09] <WebcamWonder> !pm | virtualuser
[03:09] <virtualuser> thanks
[03:09] <akio> i have something goofed up on the irc clients, they are using global info but when it uses that there some kind of awful loop happening with peer connection resets and nick assignment
[03:10] <VolVE> jackal: I mean that my screen and the file match, but that the data stops sooner than if I run the same process (that throws an error) without tee
[03:10] <chriz> #mplayer
[03:11] <qcjn> ok, i ve installed it
[03:11] <usser> qcjn, paste the exact command you're using
[03:11] <jackal> VolVE: is the missing data the error message?
[03:11] <virtualuser> okay: http://paste.ubuntu.com/116674/ anyone know what to do here ?
[03:12] <Zenitur> permission denided was not a bug of ext4. I forgot exec option
[03:12] <VolVE> jackal: it's a few lines prior to the error, and then the message it's self (which I understand being absent if it's on stderr and not stdout)
[03:12] <constantine_> I did a number on my orange desktop buttons and they disappeared from my panel!
[03:12] <constantine_> how do I get those back?
[03:13] <jackal> VolVE: yeah, i was thinking that stderr was your problem, but it sounds like it isn't
[03:13] <qcjn> usser: ok
[03:13] <Zenitur> In Ubuntu 8.04 and later impossible to update or downgrade proprietary video driver. New module does not work. In 7.10 it works
[03:13] <mxian> right click on the edge and click add to panel
[03:13] <DasEI1>  virtualuser:looks like you misstyped the filename
[03:13] <usser> qcjn, did it work?
[03:13] <qcjn>  sudo smbmount //<IP_ADDRESS>/bur_élodie /mnt -o User=qcjn
[03:14] <virtualuser> i copied and pasted it -_-
[03:14] <qcjn> usser: no
[03:14] <VolVE> jackal: it's almost like there's some buffer that only writes to screen/file after filling X lines/characters, and when the error hits everything exists and the buffer dies before a write...
[03:14] <usser> qcjn, well directory name has a utf character that might be the problem
[03:14] <constantine_> nifty tool, thanks mxian
[03:14] <Cody1> Can anyone explain to me why, even after buying an expensive cat6 crossover cable, my xbox 360 will not connect to he computer? I have wireless internet and im trying to connect xbox to the computer.
[03:14] <mxian> no problem const.
[03:15] <qcjn> usser: but he command seem ok ?
[03:15] <virtualuser> RT73_Linux_STA_Drv<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.gz
[03:15] <mxian> const. you may want to right click after you add something to the panel and click lock
[03:15] <Scunizi> !ics | Cody1
[03:15] <DasEI1>  virtualuser:you can use asterisk (*) for filecompletititon, move it to /usr first (f.e. /usr/src), cd there, then tar -xvf file
[03:15] <Pritesh> hello everyone
[03:15] <jgonick> screen resolution question.  Every user can set their own resolution.  Anyone know what file holds the info?
[03:15] <redvamp128> quick question-- how do you add a friend in Xchat-- ( I am using pidgin) but need to tell someone how to.
[03:15] <qcjn> usser: cause i could try with another user
[03:15] <cisto> buona sera o buon giorno a tutti!!
[03:15] <usser> qcjn, the command is ok but it probably can understand that e character there
[03:16] <Scunizi> redvamp128: so the nick highlights when mentioned?  /hilight <nick>
[03:16] <virtualuser> DasEI1: i don't follow what you're telling me -_- sorry
[03:16] <qcjn> usser: ok, i ll try with anotheruser that doesn have this carachter
[03:16] <DasEI1>  virtualuser:open a terminal ...
[03:16] <mxian> redvamp right click on friend and add to friends list i believe
[03:16] <DasEI1>  virtualuser:file located on desktop ?
[03:17] <rods> I got kind of a fun, easy question. How do I add panels to my desktop? I removed it when I put on AWN, so once I get rid of AWN i'd like to use the original panel that comes with Ubuntu in a fresh install
[03:17] <virtualuser> yeah..
[03:17] <jackal> VolVE: what if you try telling tee to ignore interrupts, with the -i option (maybe it's getting killed before it can flush it's buffer)
[03:17] <VolVE> no difference
[03:17] <cisto> for ubuntu italian Support Channel?
[03:18] <VolVE> :/
[03:18] <DasEI1>  virtualuser:cp ~/<yourUsernemeHere>/ RT73*   /usr/src

[03:19] <rods> I got kind of a fun, easy question. How do I add panels to my desktop? I removed it when I put on AWN, so once I get rid of AWN i'd like to use the original panel that comes with Ubuntu in a fresh install?
[03:19] <virtualuser> yep
[03:19] <qcjn> usser: so there's a problem with the carachter
[03:19] <DasEI1>  virtualuser: tar -xvf RT73*
[03:20] <virtualuser> sorry, i get lag spikes due to poor wireless signal strength
[03:20] <usser> qcjn, right can you do ls -al /mnt on the terminal does it list the share contents?
[03:20] <chriz> rods: we add panel by using "right click" on tool bar
[03:20] <Sergeant_Pony> is there a way I can list all usb ports on my laptop?
[03:20] <DasEI1>  virtualuser: ls               <<see a new directory ?
[03:20] <rods> chriz: how then do I get the show-desktop button, etc. on it?
[03:20] <mxian> rods: sudo debconf gnome-panel
[03:21] <jgonick> rods:  see http://www.watchingthenet.com/restore-panels-in-ubuntu-back-to-their-default-settings.html
[03:21] <rods> mxian: thanks much!!! And the rest of ya too!
[03:21] <mxian> np
[03:21] <qcjn> usser: yes it shows the content of the one i've just mounted

[03:22] <qcjn> usser: ok
[03:22] <Fragesteller> I have a problem. I can't start ubuntu anymore. It says that there is no init in /sbin
[03:22] <DasEI1> !who | virtualuser
[03:22] <Pritesh> I m new to ubuntu can somebody please help me with visual effects ?
[03:23] <DasEI1>  virtualuser: but you see it with ls in /usr/src ?
[03:23] <Myrth> what could be a problem - pulseaudio monitor shows signal from mike, but none of conference software receive sound, not skype nor ekiga
[03:23] <mxian> Pritesh: what kind of help?
[03:24] <Pritesh> before few days by mistake i deleted some packages while i was playing with compiz effects
[03:24] <Fragesteller> It had worked before, but yesterday my ekiga crahsed, i had to switch off computer without shutdown, and since then this problem
[03:24] <qcjn> usser: it worked :)
[03:24] <Pritesh> now when i select normal visual effects i loose min,max,close buttons
[03:24] <usser> qcjn, cool
[03:24] <chriz> rods: just right click on TOOL bar, u will get a option +Add to a panel
[03:24] <DasEI1> Fragesteller:can you boot into safemode ?
[03:24] <qcjn> usser: -mtime 2, is for the last 2 days ?
[03:25] <mxian> Pritesh: if you know which packages you removed you should add them back
[03:25] <usser> qcjn, yea
[03:25] <usser> qcjn, -mtime n*24 in hours
[03:25] <DasEI1>  virtualuser: ?
[03:25] <virtualuser> sorry
[03:25] <virtualuser> lag
[03:25] <usser> qcjn, ie -mtime 2 is -mtime 2*24 in hours
[03:25] <DasEI1>  virtualuser: but you see it with ls in /usr/src ?
[03:25] <Fragesteller> DasEI1 now. nothing no safe mode and not the other kernel versions. always the same message that there is no init and that i should pass the argument manually
[03:25] <Cody1> Is there a Networking Help IRC channel?
[03:25] <qcjn> usser: so -mtime n*8 ...would be the last 8 hours..right ?
[03:26] <virtualuser> where would i see that exactly (im new)
[03:26] <felix_R> hi all
[03:26] <Jaan|Perfect> hi all

[03:26] <DasEI1>  virtualuser: you cd'ed to /usr/src, right ?
[03:26] <felix_R> good morning
[03:26] <Jaan|Perfect> i am installing ubuntu vmware workstattion, is it safe ?
[03:26] <virtualuser> what ?  :(
[03:26] <felix_R> may be
[03:26] <jgonick> I really need to find this..Anyone? screen resolution question.  Every user can set their own resolution.  Anyone know what file holds the info?
[03:26] <qcjn> usser: so you can't put less then 24 hours ?
[03:27] <usser> qcjn, no eh, i guess i have problems explaining stuff, n is an integer that you specify 24 is a constant that you cant change
[03:27] <DasEI1> Fragesteller:check updateinitramfs then; you don't even get a busybox ?
[03:27] <usser> qcjn, try -mtime 0.5 though im not sure if it
[03:27] <usser> qcjn, will work
[03:27] <qcjn> usser: ok, i understand
[03:27] <DasEI1>  virtualuser: which directory are you in now ?
[03:28] <Fragesteller> DasEI! I get some shell only. maybe it's busybox
[03:28] <qcjn> usser: 0.5 invalid
[03:28] <Fragesteller> but I'm a noob dunno what to do there
[03:28] <Cody1> Is thee a networking help channel on IRC?
[03:28] <Cody1> there*
[03:28] <usser> qcjn, hm it works for me here
[03:28] <virtualuser> all i know is: the driver is on the desktop
[03:29] <DasEI1> Fragesteller:you will have to boot a live cd, chroot in the deadsystem an rebuild initramfs then
[03:29] <virtualuser> i don't know which directory i should @be in@
[03:29] <_VIM_> does Kde4 have a trackerd like search tool? I cant seem to get it working...
[03:29] <chriz> #mplayer
[03:29] <DasEI1>  virtualuser: in terminal , type : cd
[03:29] <DasEI1>  virtualuser: cd /usr/src
[03:29] <DasEI1>  virtualuser: ls
[03:30] <Fragesteller> DasEI1 I'm alewady on a live cd now. but it's not ubuntu.
[03:30] <virtualuser> okay..
[03:30] <virtualuser> it extended my name thing
[03:30] <DasEI1>  virtualuser: your file there ?
[03:30] <Fragesteller> DasEI1 How do i chroot in the deadsystem and how do i rebuilt initramfs?
[03:30] <virtualuser> i don't see any file
[03:30] <virtualuser> just a blank terminal with an extended name
[03:31] <qcjn> usser: no, 0.5 won't work
[03:31] <jhonnyboy> Hello everyone
[03:31] <jhonnyboy> new ubuntu user here :)
[03:31] <qcjn> usser: sudo find /mnt -mtime 0.5
[03:31] <qcjn> usser: won't work
[03:32] <DasEI1> Fragesteller:https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+question/26781
[03:32] <Fragesteller> DasEI1  Thank you
[03:32] <jhonnyboy> how can i display folders and my computer icon and etc... on my desktop?
[03:32] <usser> qcjn,  you can try -cmin that is specified in minutes
[03:32] <jhonnyboy> what's the application that does that?
[03:32] <DasEI1>  virtualuser: and your RT73* is on the desktop ?
[03:32] <lemonpledge> ayo, ive got a "tough" question for u experts. I seem to not enjoy the gaming of Ubuntu, so is it possible to shrink Ubuntu's HD and create a partition for XP (Gasp)? Thanks for your help
[03:33] <orudie> i just did mv dir/ /anotherdir , and the content disapeard :(
[03:33] <qcjn> usser: anyway, that is not that important, rare will i look for a fil in the las 5 min
[03:33] <usser> qcjn, or -mmin
[03:33] <KaBarsEdge> lemonpledge: yes, very easy, I've done it with partition magic before
[03:33] <danbhfive> lemonpledge: I would just use the livecd and gparted
[03:33] <lemonpledge> can you give me a run thru quickly
[03:34] <Gerinych> jhonnyboy: it's called nautilus, something equivalent to windows explorer
[03:34] <lemonpledge> my whole hd is Ubuntu
[03:34] <acidplay> cler
[03:34] <acidplay> clear
[03:34] <jhonnyboy> Gerinych: is that what i can use to place my computer icon on the desktop?
[03:34] <qcjn> usser: what happens if i mount another one, another share. Will  ls -al /mnt work, or will i have to add a share name ?
[03:34] <DasEI1>  virtualuser: assuming your username is virtualuser : cp /home/virtualuser/Desktop/RT73*  /usr/src
[03:35] <danbhfive> lemonpledge: gparted is fairly self explanatory.  You would select the partition, and somehow select the shrink option.  Maybe through a right-click
[03:35] <Jillian2> ok
[03:35] <Gerinych> jhonnyboy: no, that's just a browser, youll have to add the my computer icon manually, i forget how
[03:35] <DasEI1> lemonpledge: you can use gparted for that, and afterwards check fstab if you use uuids for changes
[03:35] <lemonpledge> danbhfive: ok, and will it be NTFS?
[03:35] <KaBarsEdge> lemonpledge: I've never used gparted, but if you get a copy of partition magic, it's almost self explanatory once you boot to the CD
[03:35] <usser> qcjn, hehe, yea btw find can do a lot more than that, its really a swiss army knife. its not limited to displaying the files that match a pattern it can execute actions on them as well, for example find . -mtime 2 -exec mv {} {}.mp3 \; will rename every file that was modified in last two days to .mp3
[03:35] <Lerxst> jhonnyboy: you can use an application called ubuntu tweak to add the computer to your desktop
[03:35] <qcjn> usser: and for the é, would i have to put eacute or something like that ?
[03:36] <usser> qcjn, im not sure about e char, cant you just rename the share
[03:36] <jhonnyboy> Lerxst: Thank you
[03:36] <lemonpledge> DOes any1 else us XP for gaming and ubuntu for all the better thign sin life lol
[03:36] <usser> qcjn, as for mounting you can create as many directories in /mnt as you want and mount all shares in those subdirectories
[03:36] <jgonick> I hate to nag but.:).screen resolution question.  Every user can set their own resolution.  Anyone know what file holds the info?
[03:36] <qcjn> usser: i think so ? should !
[03:36] <KaBarsEdge> lemonpledge: I use debian and XP, although, I use XP more because of all the requirements for my school work
[03:36] <KurtB> Hi folks. I'm installing subversion, and it claims a dependency on exim... but I don't want exim installed (I use postfix). How do I get aptitude to install subversion, but exim?
[03:36] <KaBarsEdge> just makes life easier
[03:37] <Lerxst> jhonnyboy: just a note, the application is not in the repositories

[03:38] <lemonpledge> oh and last question, once i install XP how will the bootloader look like or do I need to edit that
[03:38] <qcjn> usser: now when i name , i try to be careful of that, accent, spaces, uppercase, etc
[03:38] <usser> Fragesteller, mount the partition somewhere. and sudo chroot /directorywhereyoumounted
[03:38] <usser> qcjn, yea and spaces too, avoid spaces :)
[03:38] <Fragesteller> usser, thanks
[03:38] <usser> qcjn, use underscores
[03:39] <qcjn> usser: thats what i do now
[03:39] <qcjn> usser: but there's a lot or relics
[03:39] <DasEI1> Fragesteller:you got to mount your / of deadsystem  somwhere in live (if it's not automounted), then : sudo chroot /path/to/mount
[03:39] <KaBarsEdge> lemon: in my experience, XP will overwrite your bootloader, you will have to make a boot CD to reload it after the Xp installation is finished, but I could be wrong, it's been a long while since I've had to build a dual boot system

[03:45] <Jaan|Perfect> i am just practicising in vmware so that i can install confidently on my laptop in a month or so
[03:45] <qcjn> WARNING: smbmount is deprecated and not maintained any longer. mount.cifs (mount -t cifs) should be used instead of smbmoun
[03:45] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, On the USB numpad, or on the laptop itself?
[03:46] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, Hmm, just tried Numlock on both laptop and USB numpad, neither work.
[03:46] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: Both, just to be sure, numlock is a status contained w/i the computer, not the keyboard
[03:46] <qcjn> what about that
[03:46] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: Just checking
[03:46] <usser> qcjn, yea thats true, you should use mount -t cifs
[03:46] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, NP, I tested that it's physically working on my windows XP PC
[03:46] <DasEI1> deunnero:is there a file /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0031 ?
[03:47] <deunnero> not sure.
[03:47] <usser> qcjn, i just told you to use smbmount cause syntax is kinda easier to grasp at first, but mount -t cifs is basically the same
[03:47] <usser> qcjn, just replace smbmount with mount -t cifs
[03:47] <deunnero> http://paste.ubuntu.com/116677/   <--- is the complete log of whats happening
[03:47] <qcjn> usser: so if i m going to learn, better be that
[03:47] <Pritesh> hey Matt
[03:47] <DasEI1> deunnero:ls  /var/lib/dpkg/updates/003*
[03:48] <innociv> Christ there is a lot of people here..
[03:48] <Pritesh> looks like it has been fixed
[03:48] <innociv> http://slexy.org/view/s20BFyXeWh Can someone tell me how to fix these errors on make for nginx?
[03:48] <deunnero> yes
[03:48] <deunnero> there is a 30 and a 31
[03:48] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, the numpad also appears to be detected via dmesg
[03:48] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: There was no software that came with right, standard keyboard driver?
[03:48] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, correct, no software
[03:48] <DasEI1> deunnero:can you open it ?            (gedit  /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0031) ?
[03:49] <deunnero> Dase: Holy cow..... somehow all it is... is  #padding  lolz
[03:49] <petkor> How to clean incomplete installation leftovers in ubuntu. For example, can I delete .netbens file in home directory. Is there something in ubuntu like registry base in windows.
[03:49] <deunnero> dase: 98 lines of #padding.
[03:50] <DasEI1> deunnero:sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[03:50] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: Make sure its there in lsusb?
[03:50] <qcjn> usser: so from what i understand, everything is the same except, using mount -t cifs, instead of smbmount
[03:50] <usser> qcjn, yea
[03:50] <alan> can anyone help me with configuring a media player in ubuntu
[03:50] <DasEI1> deunnero:pastebinit /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0031
[03:50] <DasEI1> deunnero pastebinit /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0031
[03:50] <DasEI1> deunnero : give url here
[03:51] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, It does detect in lsusb as well. It's just called Belkin
[03:51] <deunnero> i can't install.
[03:51] <innociv> how do i disable -Werror from make?
[03:51] <DasEI1> !paste | deunnero
[03:52] <kamalfariz> anyone running xen 3.2 dom0 on ubuntu hardy? i'm finding that the xm create doesn't pass the ip values to the domU kernel command line
[03:52] <DasEI1> deunnero : do it manually then
[03:52] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: You know how to do input devices in xorg?
[03:52] <KyleK> is there a nice and simple guide to bandwidth shaping? I just want to limit how much upload a single IP address has
[03:53] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, no.
[03:53] <_VIM_> does Kde4 have a trackerd like search tool? I cant seem to get it working...
[03:53] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: 2 secs, see if I can find some examples
[03:53] <deunnero> dase: sSo put in the file ?   all it says is 97 lines of #Padding  and on the 98th line it says #pad
[03:53] <j03lar50n> what does pan0 mean when i ifconfig -a?
[03:53] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, thanks
[03:53] <MeVsTheVoices> !paste
[03:53] <Fragesteller> How do i mount a file?  (I have a wubi install and my ubuntu sits on ntfs in a file called root.disk, but normal mount command seems to be willing to mount real drives only)
[03:54] <KyleK> pan stands for personal area network, bluetooth
[03:54] <danbhfive> petkor: with apt-get you can add the --purge directive to get rid of configuration files.  I find synaptic is easiest to locate packages with leftover configuration files.  But, there is no registry.  Typically, there is either a text file somewhere, or a directory of text files.
[03:54] <WebcamWonder> Fragesteller: Where do you want to mount the disk, another linux install?
[03:54] <j03lar50n> even though is says Link encap:Ethernet KyleK?
[03:55] <Fragesteller> WebcamWonder: That wubi ubuntu doesn't start anymore, so I'm an a slax live cd and wanted to mount it here
[03:55] <DasEI1> Fragesteller:sudo mount /dev/whatever  /path/to mount/to    , other then ext - fs needs also the fs-type given
[03:55] <_VIM_> is there a good software for ubuntu for Sony HandyCams? The CD that it came with is for Windows, wondering if there is something like it for ubuntu
[03:55] <DasEI1> Fragesteller:see man mount
[03:56] <WebcamWonder> Fragesteller: First you would have to mount the existing ntfs partition somewhere. Lets say you mount it at /mnt/ntfs. Then you mounth the disk inside the ntfs partition to somewhere else, lets say /mount/wubi, then you can access it
[03:56] <redvamp128> can someone imagebin.ca me a shot of their software sources for Intrepid... I just need to see the third party sources.
[03:56] <j03lar50n> i can talk to my router through LAN, can't ping Internet..not familiar w/ Ubuntu Wired Connection settings
[03:56] <Scunizi> how do I use "rm" to remove ONLY directories and anything inside of them without touching the files in the main directory that the (soon to be deleted) directories reside?
[03:56] <Sussa> hey guys!! how can I see my video card's model?
[03:56] <DasEI1> deunnero /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0031 ?
[03:57] <DasEI1> Sussa: lspci
[03:57] <usser> Scunizi, rm -ri /path/to/directory
[03:57] <deunnero> Dase:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/116683/
[03:57] <Sussa> DasEI1: tnx! :)
[03:57] <Fragesteller> WebcamWonder: the ntfs drive is mounted automatically. But with mount /mnt/sda1/ubuntu/root.disk /root/ubuntu  it tells me that the device /mnt/sda1/ubuntu/root.disk  does not exist
[03:58] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: Try using thiss http://paste.ubuntu.com/116682/ I'll look for a list of possible Xkbd stuffs
[03:58] <porter1> Ugh! OpenOffice and Evolution are being so annoying!
[03:58] <Scunizi> usser: thanks.. I understand the -r (thinking that should be -R but will check)... what's the -i ??
[03:58] <DasEI1> Sussa: hwinfo gives even more detailed info
[03:58] <WebcamWonder> Fragesteller: Look at loopback mounting. That is how you can mount an existing parittion in file from an existing mounted partition
[03:58] <dsagsadghas> is there a german language channel like this one?
[03:59] <Fragesteller> WebcamWonder: thank you. Will look for it
[03:59] <_VIM_> !de | dsagsadghas
[03:59] <Tokoloshe> ubuntu-de
[03:59] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, into xorg.conf? It won't interfere with the laptop keyboard will it?
[03:59] <WebcamWonder> Fragesteller: Sorry couldn't help you in much detail, don't have much access to anything right now
[03:59] <fogobogo> dsagsadghas: this isnt german. its english
[03:59] <usser> Scunizi, -i is so it'll prompt you, seeing how you are not sure which directory to delete i thought i'd play it safe and wont give you command thats going to destroy your files without any confirmation
[03:59] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: Keyboard1
[03:59] <Fragesteller> WebcamWonder: you already helped me a lot. Will surely find something on google
[04:00] <Sussa> I've got an  VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. Chrome9 HC IGP (rev 01) video card. It works on Ubuntu 8.04.2, but it doesn't on 8.10. Is there anything that I should do about it? :P
[04:00] <Scunizi> usser: actually I want to delete all the directories.. but not 2 files that are in the root of the directories that need to go bye bye
[04:00] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: Also use `ls /dev/input/by-{path,id}` to get the dev stuffs for each
[04:01] <__david> opennow
[04:01] <__david> How do I edit equations in openoffice writer?
[04:01] <__david> I'm using hardy, and the option is just greyed out
[04:01] <Scunizi> usser: not really "root" in the classic sense. it's in my home directory on a server that I've ssh'd into.. everthing in home needs to be deleted except these two files.. one *.csv and *.ldif
[04:02] <usser> Scunizi, hm why dont you just mv those 2 files somewhere outside then delete everything
[04:02] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: USB devices will have a prefix somewhere in there name. If you want to check functionality `cat /dev/input/stuff` then see if the output corresponds with the input, ie jam buttons and see if its in time
[04:02] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, dev stuffs? I thought you just needed to open xorg.conf and insert what you pasted at that URL
[04:03] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: I don't know what numpads show up as :-( except for a usb input device
[04:03] <RussM> Sussa, find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d | xargs rm -rf                 <- you might want to try it with "echo" first, though!
[04:03] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, would it help if I pasted some dmesg output?
[04:03] <Fragesteller> WebcamWonder, DasEI1 thank you
[04:03] <Scunizi> usser: well :)  I could do that but I'd like to not have to do that because I'm hoping that I can learn another way.. removing just directories and what's inside from a specified location
[04:03] <DasEI1> Fragesteller: np
[04:03] <prageeth> how to reinstall firefox
[04:03] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: Might do, can't help :-)
[04:04] <WebcamWonder> Fragesteller: Glad to help :)
[04:04] <wolter> hey ^hashbang^, just finished haha
[04:04] <RussM> Sussa, find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d gets you the names of all the directories below the current directory.
[04:04] <SudoKing> prageeth: apt-get install --reinstall firefox?
[04:04] <Fragesteller> :-)
[04:04] <porter1> Evolution continues to crash when trying to connect to an IMAP server on start...
[04:04] <DasEI1> prageeth: sudo apt-get remove --purege firefox && sudo apt-get install firefox
[04:04] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, http://paste.ubuntu.com/116684/
[04:04] <DasEI1> prageeth: sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox && sudo apt-get install firefox  ,sorry^
[04:04] <jomblo> hay
[04:04] <innociv> anyone?  I can't figure out make options :/  it's doing -Werror on its own.
[04:05] <multiverse> I installed privoxy and Tor onto Firefox 3, and when I go to whatismyip.com, the ip address hasn't changed in days.  What am I doing wrong?  I thought these two add-ons anonymize me.
[04:05] <RussM> Sussa, xargs rm -rf    that feeds the list of directory  names to the fun "recursively delete this directory and everything below"
[04:05] <usser> Scunizi, well you can use find to do that
[04:05] <Scunizi> usser: how?
[04:05] <usser> Scunizi, ie find /path/to/directory -type d -exec rm -r {} \;
[04:05] <__david> How do I edit equations in openoffice?  Is the editor not installed by default?
[04:06] <usser> Scunizi, that should delete recursively all the directories inside the the /path/to/directory
[04:06] <usser> Scunizi, dont trust me on it though, backup first
[04:06] <jomblo> rtttt
[04:06] <prageeth> how port programming in ubuntu
[04:07] <usser> Scunizi, oops sorry
[04:07] <Scunizi> usser: now that looks cool.. that's what I was looking for. thanks :)  I'm really on a learning curve for this sort of stuff.  These are pretty much bash codes right?
[04:07] <omniax> hey all. i need to make a floppy diskette for XP RAID drivers, so i thought i might as well use linux for that. unfortunately i tried the 9.04 iso's but it doesn't detect my floppy drive. bug 255651 sounds like floppy drives dont work in ubuntu?
[04:07] <gsp2009> does anyone know if the laptop killer bug has been fixed? I am looking at the bug on launchpad and I just can't tell if it is still in the works.
[04:07] <usser> Scunizi, that actually wont work i just tested it
[04:07] <jomblo> hallo
[04:07] <usser> Scunizi, hang lemme figure it ouy
[04:07] <Scunizi> usser: maybe using grep?
[04:07] <aboSamoor> Hi, I am trying to boot over network. I am using HTTP server to as ubuntu mirror archive. I got this message "The specified Ubuntu archive mirror is either not available or does not have a valid Release file on it. Please try a different mirror" ?
[04:08] <andrew__> hm i upgraded to 9.04 and now im havin some gnome issues ... (the settings manager crashed...some icon arent displaying correctly)
[04:08] <andrew__> anyone know where an error file is ?
[04:08] <prageeth> what is grep
[04:08] <Scunizi> andrew__: most all log files are in /var/log
[04:08] <DasEI1> !jaunty | omniax
[04:08] <mxian> grep is a command line search
[04:08] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: Sorry for this one, did you try unplugging/ re-plugging?
[04:08] <Scunizi> prageeth: grep gives you a grip on files
[04:08] <omniax> Dasel1: floppies appear broken in 8.10 as well
[04:09] <andrew__> o ya and none of my gnome windows are displaying minimize/maximize/x icons
[04:09] <andrew__> whats up with that
[04:09] <usser> Scunizi, here invoke it like that /path/to/directory/* -type d -exec rm -r {} \;
[04:09] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, I did try that, yes.
[04:09] <numus> is there any antivirus requirements for ubuntu yet?
[04:09] <bitmonk> Hello, when my 'networking' service starts or restarts, I get messages from NTPD stopping and starting about 5-6 times, any idea why?  It's very annoying..
[04:09] <numus> havent been up to date on recent ubuntu viruses
[04:09] <Scunizi> usser: ok. this is bash stuff?
[04:10] <usser> Scunizi, asterisk at the end means search for everything inside the directory, that excludes the directory itself, if you dont specify it find will delete the root directory as well
[04:10] <usser> Scunizi, thats find command syntax
[04:10] <usser> Scunizi, not exactly bash
[04:10] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: Intrepid Ibex (8.10)
[04:10] <MeVsTheVoices> ?
[04:10] <usser> Scunizi, hope im being clear
[04:11] <Scunizi> usser: got it.. little bash, ack etc?
[04:11] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, What's that?
[04:11] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: You version of ubuntu?
[04:11] <Scunizi> usser: yep .. being clear.. I appriciate it.
[04:11] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, how do I check? I'm using Xubuntu
[04:11] <Sark> hello
[04:11] <RussM> Scunizi, Heheh, I wasn't paying attention, and answered your question to someone else. Looks like usser got ya anyway.
[04:12] <usser> Scunizi, -type in find tells it what type of file to look for, -type d means only look for directories leave regular files alone
[04:12] <Sark> i have playing doom but now is my mouse from xorg desktop away. i cannot move my mouse how to reload my mouse on xorg server?
[04:12] <Jaan|Perfect> "configuring apt"  i am struck at this point, what is this ?
[04:12] <usser> Scunizi, -exec portion tells find what action to perform on any file found,
[04:12] <usser> Scunizi, -exec rm -r {} means delete recursively every match that is found
[04:13] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: Under System-> Admin-> Software Sources there should be
[04:13] <usser> Scunizi, {} in find represents the match
[04:14] <Scunizi> usser: worked like a champ.. thanks..
[04:14] <DasEI1> Sark:ctrl-alt-backspace restarts x
[04:14]  * Scunizi gives usser 2 gold stars for his assistance !!
[04:14] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, I'm in software sources, which tab? Third Party Software?
[04:14] <usser> Scunizi, no problem :)
[04:14] <mxian> amy_: could try cat /etc/*release /etc/*version
[04:14] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: Anywhere, does it give a 8.10, 8.04, 7.10, 7.04 ect?
[04:16] <Sark> DasEI1, another way possible without restart x ?
[04:16] <Scunizi> usser: what's the \; at the end of the line?
[04:16] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, in Third Party Software Hard 8.04
[04:17] <DasEI1> Sark: I don't know why doom crashed mouse
[04:17] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: Ok, there is no bug reports for anything like this, and it mounted fine, sorry, I think this is an xubuntu bug, not a ubuntu :-(
[04:18] <usser> Scunizi, find has quirky syntax which uses characters that can be interpreted by bash, by default before find even executes bash interprets the whole command and characters that find uses are part of bash syntax. to prevent bash from jumping in and messing the whole command find has to escape certain symbols. in short \; tells bash to back off and tells find that the command has ended
[04:18] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices,  Hmm, I'll try the xubuntu channel on the off chance they might know anything, then.
[04:18] <usser> Scunizi, ie \; is the termination symbol for find
[04:18] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: Sorry :-(
[04:19] <amy_> MeVsTheVoices, No worries.
[04:19] <MeVsTheVoices> amy_: :-)
[04:20] <wikkedfin> is there a way to make a batch file on ubuntu to run cmds?
[04:20] <tritium> wikkedfin: bash scripts
[04:20] <MeVsTheVoices> wikkedfin: bash
[04:20] <Scunizi> usser: that was a good explaination.. definitely written by someone over the age of 20.  If you're under, kudo's to your english teacher. :)
[04:20] <wikkedfin> what would i search for on google?
[04:20] <wikkedfin> bash scripts?
[04:20] <DasEI1> amy_:I didn't follow, what are you looking for ?
[04:21] <amy_> DasEI1, I'm looking to get my USB numpad to work.
[04:21] <constantine> I have no audio in youtube but my sound has worked before with music
[04:21] <DasEI1> amy_:does lspci find it ?
[04:21] <DasEI1> does*
[04:21] <usser> Scunizi, thanks
[04:21] <wikkedfin> see all i want the bash to do is run epic4 nick server
[04:21] <amy_> DasEI1, It detects in both dmesg and lsusb. I'll check lspci
