[04:38] <histo> Is there any hard drive test utilities for linux?
[04:38] <d_rugs420> IndyGunFreak, right and i dont need sound for all of them just a few of them
[04:38] <nigtv> Im booting into console right now, and i am wondering, i know i can use alt+F2 or F3 etc to open new 'tabs' but i have no idea how to close them, and cannot find out how through google or any of the man info pages
[04:39] <nigtv> I feel stupid for asking but ive been looking for about an hour now and dont want to waste any more time
[04:39] <redvamp128> histo:  I use Gsmart  I think it is in the repository... but also you can find it at getdeb.net
[04:39] <nigtv> i can type exit to log out of su
[04:39] <IndyGunFreak> d_rugs420: right..  i don't know if it helps, but i set mine to channel msg highlight, notice, open dialog, and priv. message to dialog, and its fine
[04:40] <nigtv> but it still doesnt close the 'tab'
[04:40] <IndyGunFreak> d_rugs420: i use tone.wav for thsoe thigs... sounds a bit like hitting a high pitched key on a xylephone
[04:40] <histo> redvamp128: I don't see it int he repos and i'm on live cd
[04:41] <nigtv> im starting to think that i have no way to get rid of them, before i had to reboot because i accidentally pressed alt+right arrow and opened like 20 something tabs
[04:41] <redvamp128> histo:  You would not be able to use it on a live cd though you may try downloading and burning -- www.ultimatebootcd.com it has harddrive test tools on it .
[04:41] <nigtv> nothing in the man or in any of the guides ive found talk about it
[04:41] <histo> redvamp128: there is no linux solution?
[04:41] <tonyyarusso> nigtv: Um, you'd have to kill the getty process.  Why would you want to?
[04:42] <IndyGunFreak> nigtv: why are you using su anyways?.. just use sudo.
[04:42] <redvamp128> histo:  There is but won't work on a live cd
[04:42] <nigtv> well im booting into console
[04:42] <nigtv> thats what i mean indy
[04:42] <histo> redvamp128: why's that?
[04:42] <nigtv> because i like it
[04:42] <IndyGunFreak> nigtv: well, theres quite a difference
[04:42] <nigtv> yea well lol
[04:42] <nigtv> sorry i mean sudo su
[04:42] <nigtv> anyways
[04:42] <tonyyarusso> nigtv: sudo -s or sudo -i, not sudo su.
[04:42] <IndyGunFreak> nigtv: again, sudo su is silly
[04:42] <redvamp128> histo:  for one thing the gsmart is about 30mb just for that tool. plus the 10mb of dependencies.
[04:42] <IndyGunFreak> just use sudo
[04:42] <nigtv> how do i close these things
[04:43] <nigtv> blah
[04:43] <tonyyarusso> nigtv: again, why would you want to?
[04:43] <nigtv> because they are taking up space
[04:43] <histo> redvamp128: I see gsmart is just a gui for smartctl
[04:43] <nigtv> its clutter
[04:43] <tonyyarusso> ...
[04:43] <nigtv> ill have irssi on tab one
[04:43] <nigtv> moc on tab 4
[04:43] <nigtv> then i have to use the f keys
[04:43] <nigtv> instead of the arrow keys
[04:43] <nigtv> and ive accidntally opened like 20 windows a few times now
[04:44] <redvamp128> nigtv:  watch using the enter for punctiation (too many posts in a row and bot will silence you)
[04:44] <nigtv> its really annoying
[04:44] <donavan01> im trying to free up so  drive space on my eee ... only have 4gbs for the primary drive ... anyone know of a list of stuff I can get rid of
[04:45] <redvamp128> histo:  that is what I use -- but I don't think it is on the live cd though --
[04:45] <nigtv> yea sorry, i know its a bad habit. Its opening up more and more and more tty, each one with +1 numeral after it, and it creates files in /etc/ that are blank
[04:45] <histo> donavan01: the apt cache
[04:45] <tonyyarusso> donavan01: locales.  Look for the localepurge tool.
[04:45] <histo> donavan01: sudo aptitude clean
[04:45] <tonyyarusso> donavan01: apt-cache is good too.
[04:45] <nigtv> i dont get how it is so easy to open new ones but impossible to close any of them that are open, but ive searched around a TON and cannot find out if there is a way or not
[04:46] <tonyyarusso> donavan01: also, think about what you really need to have.  For instance, Java is a bit large on disk.
[04:46] <tonyyarusso> donavan01: Applications > Accessories > Disk Usage Analyzer can help you track down some things, but start with an apt-get clean and localepurge.
[04:46] <donavan01> yeah I have been going through getting rid of apps I dont need but there is only so much I can do with out really digging into the individual packages
[04:48] <nigtv> this is going to drive me crazy. Lets say that if i DID start up the window manager and opened up a terminal, is there anything i can type in the terminal to make it close, or would i HAVE to press the little X in the upper right?
[04:48] <donavan01> what about stuff in the tmp directory ?  can I purge that stuff or will it die next time I boot
[04:49] <tonyyarusso> nigtv: In a window manager you'd be working with a terminal emulator, not a tty, so exit would close it.
[04:49] <nigtv> so there is nothing i can do when not in a window manager?
[04:50] <tonyyarusso> nigtv: not easily.  You'd probably benefit from learning how to use screen.
[04:50] <nigtv> how to use screen? you might have to rephrase that
[04:51] <tonyyarusso> nigtv: 'screen' - it's a command.
[04:51] <nigtv> i think ill try to be a little bit more focused on not impulsively opening new ones
[04:51] <nigtv> oh okay
[04:51] <tonyyarusso> "Terminal multiplexer" to quote that manpage.
[04:51] <nigtv> well i gotta go type a little more on an essay
[04:51] <histo> redvamp128: i'm using smartctl to test the drive
[04:51] <nigtv> :/
[04:52] <nigtv> lol
[04:52] <sophia> Is there any performance testing tool for a mediaplayer which uses opengl for video output?
[04:52] <donavan01> here is another question ... can I make an SD appear as just a folder or something like that ... make it more like part of the computer and less like an add on
[04:54] <jigp> im downloading updates and now im stock here : XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: chrome://dta/content/dta/manager.xul Line Number 111, Column 3:		<toolbox chromedir="&locale.dir;"> ----------------^ .... how to get rid of this?

[04:55] <ma5t3rw1tt> Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone here can help me out. I just bought a 8gig USB flash drive. I have the Ubuntu 8.10 USB Creator to create a bootable ubuntu that allows me to have a portable computer with me. Well upon doing so, I only get 1024x786 and I was wondering if someone can help me get 1280x800 resolution?

[04:57] <jigp> ziroday: nope I don't have google chrome. I did not install google chrome
[04:57] <ziroday> jigp: yeah, a screenshot would be good
[04:57] <donavan01> mat3rw1tt... its probably not installing the drivers for the video card
[04:59] <redvamp128> jigp:  you have a download manager extenstion or  quick user switcher for firefox?
[05:00] <redvamp128> jigp:  or the extension "down them all "?
[05:00] <ZeRo_FeniX> Where would someone suggest I find a good setup guide or good intro to getting actuated with ubuntu for a LAMP server?

[05:20] <Cristi> hello! why does the windows xp installer not see any hard drive partition to install windows in even though i have a non extended first bit unpartitioned space?
[05:20] <ziroday> user121: sorry, I don't follow. Free space for what?
[05:20] <Formode> dark_abyss0, Yes I have. :) What's your problem?
[05:20] <ziroday> Cristi: ask in ##windows, this is ubuntu help.
[05:20] <dark_abyss0> it freezes on me
[05:20] <Cristi> ziroday: ok, even thougn i thought it's ubuntu related
[05:20] <user121> Formode: i cant play mp3
[05:20] <opera> join #ubuntu-tw
[05:20] <Formode> dark_abyss0 Yes, it's sound system tends to crash alot.
[05:21] <dark_abyss0> any thing I can do?
[05:21] <opera> how to join another room?
[05:21] <rww> opera: /join #channelname
[05:21] <ziroday> opera: /join #ubuntu-tw
[05:21] <Formode> user121, You need to install the codec.
[05:21] <dark_abyss0> would an older version be more stable?
[05:21] <dark_abyss0> I mean I REALLY love it
[05:21] <dark_abyss0> when it works
[05:21] <user121> Formode: which one, other players can play mp3
[05:21] <Formode> Dark_abyss0, xkill it and if you need to do a sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload
[05:22] <Formode> user121, You can't play them system wide, or just in one application?
[05:22] <dark_abyss0> well I know how to restart it
[05:22] <dark_abyss0> I just dont want to have too
[05:22] <Formode> dark_abyss0, Take it up with the songbird Developers. :-/
[05:22] <dark_abyss0> ahhh
[05:22] <shausam27> you tell me whit all the people on line know one know's about any thing about kmldonkey
[05:22] <Formode> Hi all, I'm doing some pretty precise work iwth GIMP, is there a way for me to remove the Mouse Pointer and have it just show the eraser brush?
[05:23] <ziroday> dark_abyss0: songbird is a XUL app, therefore it will never be quite as fast/responsive as other apps
[05:23] <ziroday> Formode: you might have better luck in #gimp
[05:23] <Formode> ziroday, Thanks.
[05:23] <user121> what is the recommended free space that I should maintain on my ddriver
[05:23] <dark_abyss0> well is there another media player that is stable and looks decent?
[05:23] <Formode> dark_abyss0 Try Rhythmbox.
[05:24] <dark_abyss0> ok one question on that before I do
[05:24] <dark_abyss0> will it work with the last.fm scrobbler?
[05:24] <ziroday> dark_abyss0: banshee has great last.fm support
[05:24] <mankash> ziroday: I did what you said but still the applet not showing anything
[05:24] <Formode> dark_abyss0 It has a last.fm scrobbler plugin.
[05:24] <dark_abyss0> ok thank you :)
[05:24] <ziroday> mankash: can you repaste your /etc/network/interfaces please
[05:25] <mobodo_> talking about banshee, I'm looking for an application that I could easily control remotely, can banshee do that?
[05:25] <dark_abyss0> is ubuntu any better than xbuntu?
[05:26] <simplexio> mobodo_: i think you can control banshee ans rhytmbox from commandline
[05:26] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[05:26] <dark_abyss0> I just got more ram and think I can run it
[05:26] <mankash> ziroday: http://pastebin.com/m18b56d1
[05:26] <Formode> dark_abyss0, Why not try it youself? sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop
[05:26] <ziroday> mankash: did you restart
[05:26] <simplexio> mobodo_: or use vnc for "remote" control
[05:26] <ehloreverse> Hi, who is official staff of irclogs.ubuntu.com ?
[05:26] <mankash> zioday: /etc/init.d/networking restart
[05:26] <mobodo_> simplexio: I'm more looking for something that would let me see my playlists and library, but when I press play, it plays on the server not on  the local machine
[05:27] <ziroday> ehloreverse: ask in #ubuntu-irc
[05:27] <mobodo_> simplexio: yeah, vnc would work :)
[05:27] <ziroday> mankash: no. Please restart.
[05:27] <ehloreverse> I want talking about the legal subject.
[05:27] <Formode> dark_abyss0, Xubuntu is just Ubuntu with that other window system in it.
[05:27] <mankash> you mean PC
[05:27] <ehloreverse> thank you ziroday
[05:27] <dark_abyss0> yea...sorry what I meant was is gnome any better
[05:27] <ziroday> !best | dark_abyss0
[05:28] <Formode> dark_abyss0, Gnome is larger, more resource consuming, prettier (IMO) and very well supported.
[05:28] <mankash> ziroday: you mean PC
[05:28] <shubbar> Does anyone know how to install YoFrankie game?
[05:28] <ziroday> mankash: yes, restart your computer

[05:29] <Maahes> okay, I created the mysql-init file with Password=PASSWORD('thepasswordientered') for root, and I did /etc/init.d/mysql stop and then mysqld_safe --init-file=/home/me/mysql-init & but it still tells me I can't connect to root@localhost?
[05:29] <Formode> So I'm looking for something to use instead of Final Cut Pro for Video edited. Suggestions?
[05:29] <fangyuan> my tasklist is missing ,please tell me how to show it ?
[05:29] <simplexio> mobodo_: mpd could be one nice option, or just remote X (ssh server -X; rhytmbox ) and you get window to your desktop
[05:29] <ziroday> Maahes: did you change your password?
[05:29] <spike_> hi all
[05:29] <ailing> hi
[05:29] <Maahes> ziroday, see above, shouldn't that had changed my password?
[05:30] <ailing> hmm
[05:30] <adm1n> hi
[05:30] <ziroday> Formode: err you can try kdenlive and pitivi, but never tried Final Cut Pro long
[05:30] <ailing> english only? =(
[05:30] <bazhang> !ru
[05:30] <simplexio> mobodo_: and mpd = music player daemon
[05:30] <Formode> ziroday, Basically I'm looking for a studio quality (Or at least be able to pass off as) Editor,.
[05:30] <ailing> =)
[05:30] <ziroday> Maahes: no. Did you read all of the link I gave you. That just puts mysql in a mode where you don't have to login so you can fix it
[05:30] <spike_> when i try to install a gtk2 theme, it tell me that gtk+ theme engine is not installed = /
[05:30] <mobodo_> simplexio: thanks, I'm having a look
[05:30] <dark_abyss0> how do I know whether im using intrepid gusty or hardee?
[05:31] <Jed_84> hello everybody
[05:31] <dayo_> what do you use for webcam on yahooIM?
[05:31] <ziroday> Formode: well more complicated there is cinerella and LiVES, but they are hard to setup and use. Blender can also be used as a  video editor if you know how.
[05:31] <ziroday> spike_: what engine does it need?
[05:31] <Formode> ziroday, me and Blender have a rough relationship. :)
[05:32] <ziroday> Formode: heh, the more professional you want the more complicated the program will get :)
[05:32] <Maahes> 5.Start the MySQL server with the special --init-file option: /      shell> mysqld_safe --init-file=/home/me/mysql-init & / The server executes the contents of the file named by the --init-file option at startup, changing each root account password. /   6. After the server has started successfully, delete /home/me/mysql-init. / You should now be able to connect to MySQL as root using the new password.
[05:32] <Formode> ziroday, Yup. ^^ I'll check those two out.
[05:32] <Jed_84> This is totally offtopic, but I need some help from a native english speaker.  We will discuss it in private, of course. Any volunteers?
[05:32] <ziroday> Maahes: right, and did you put your new password in the mysql-init file?
[05:32] <ziroday> spike_: stay in this channel
[05:32] <Formode> ziroday, Just looking for something so I won't have to install osx86 just to pass my Communications course.
[05:33] <ziroday> please :)
[05:33] <spike_> okay
[05:33] <ziroday> spike_: also do you have a link to the theme?
[05:33] <Maahes> ziroday, where Password=PASSWORD('thisiswhereienteredanewpasswordinthefile')
[05:33] <jigp> hello guys how to locate awn? I already installed awn dock but I cannot find in gnome ubuntu 8.04 desktop
[05:33] <spike_> yes i have
[05:33] <spike_> wait a minute
[05:33] <dark_abyss0> how do I know whether im using intrepid gusty or hardy?

[05:35] <usser> jigp, try running it from the terminal
[05:35] <ziroday> Maahes: done that?
[05:35] <jigp> usser : how?
[05:35] <LogicFan> how do i restore the default ubuntu loading/splash screen?  i recently installed kubuntu-desktop and it replaced it

[05:36] <dayo_> anybody here use webcam on IM? pidgin doesn't support webcam, so i'm looking for something that does
[05:36] <Formode> dayo_ Skype, Ekiga.
[05:36] <jigp> usser : is there a shortcut key for terminal?
[05:36] <ziroday> spike_: that theme shouldn't need any special engine. However it looks quite old and could be defective. If you want a vista'ish theme then check out the LNW themes
[05:37] <usser> jigp, ALT+F2 type gnome-terminal<ENTER>
[05:37] <ziroday> dayo_: empathy does for some protocols
[05:37] <dayo_> Formode: i don't really have the bandwidth for skype :-(  but i'll check Ekiga. never heard of it
[05:37] <jigp> usser : thanks :)
[05:37] <spike_> ziroday: okay i will try with another theme thanks :)
[05:37] <LogicFan> usser, is there no default app for configuring startup images?
[05:37] <bullgard4> jigp: There is. Ctrl+Alt+T
[05:37] <ziroday> Maahes: right, now do mysqld --skip-grant-tables
[05:37] <Formode> Dayo_ Skype uses the same bandwidth as AIM or MSN Video Chat.
[05:38] <usser> LogicFan, nope
[05:38] <dayo_> Formode: really? hmm
[05:38] <Formode> Dayo_ Maybe 17 kb/s up/down.. Max.
[05:38] <dayo_> ziroday: i'll check that too
[05:38] <jigp> bullgard4: not working
[05:39] <Maahes> ziroday, http://rafb.net/p/5QQDHd53.html
[05:39] <Formode> Dayo_ Empathy works for some... No MSN yet. And I don't think it does AIM.
[05:39] <bullgard4> jigp: In that case please set it up. It works on all my Ubuntu computers.
[05:39] <ziroday> Maahes: then do sudo mysqld --skip-grant-tables. It says you need to run it as root.
[05:39] <jigp> usser : not working.avant thiing.its in accessories now.i click it but no reply
[05:39] <jigp> bullgard4 how?
[05:40] <Barridus> jigp you have to enable it

[05:40] <jigp> usser: im not sure with compiz.. all I know is im using ubuntu 8.04 desktop gnome...
[05:40] <dayo_> Formode: on their site it says:  Multi-protocol: Jabber, Gtalk, MSN, IRC, Salut, and all supported by pidgin    i hope that includes yahoo
[05:40] <Maahes> ziroday, okay, did that, now it won't drop me out of prompt, or let me ctrl+z

[05:40] <ziroday> Maahes: thats fine, open up a new terminal

[05:43] <Formode> dayo_ Crazy. MSN Video Chat didn't work like a month ago.
[05:43] <Maahes> ziroday, I skipped ahead
[05:43] <Maahes> ^_^
[05:43] <usser> plazia, mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sd[your partition name] /media/windows
[05:43] <plazia> surely it's a mount command which is more to do with the kernel/filesytems than the particular distribution.
[05:43] <plazia> usser, thanks
[05:43] <ailing> sorry for my english, but ubuntu-ru can`t help me
[05:43] <ziroday> Maahes: right, why didn't you read that documentation in the first place?
[05:43] <dayo_> Formode: i rarely use MSN myself, i'm looking for something that supports cam on yahoo
[05:43] <ailing> problem with login
[05:43] <Maahes> ziroday, I did, I wasn't getting how to do it the right way
[05:44] <dayo_> Formode: and it seems Empathy supports yahoo
[05:44] <Maahes> primarily, because I wasn't trying it with sudo
[05:44] <ailing> enter login-password - message "error"
[05:44] <mankash> ziroday: now the network is fine but wireless card is not getting configured. Network key is in hexadecimal format or other format
[05:44] <Maahes> but it was still returning as if it had cleared the rows or something
[05:44] <Formode> dayo_ Woot? :)
[05:44] <jigp> usser : ok its normal.. but I don't see any docks in desktop.likee when you scroll the mouse, the icons will large/small if you pass them by

[05:46] <dayo_> do LoCo groups send out free CDs?
[05:46] <Formode> dayo_ Some should.
[05:46] <Formode> dayo_ Apparently Best Buy often sells cds.
[05:46] <maco> dayo_: canonical does
[05:46] <dayo_> Formode: sells??
[05:46] <Formode> dayo_ Mhm.
[05:46] <maco> dayo_: and sometimes locos give out free cds at events
[05:46] <jigp> usser : I mean I want to see some docks in my bottom window.like when you move your mouse to the icons, the icons will go large if you pass them by
[05:46] <Formode> dayo_ You can sell Ubuntu CD's too. :)
[05:46] <maco> dayo_: when Best Buy sells the cds, they also come with 60 days of telephone tech support
[05:47] <maco> dayo_: im pretty sure it's 60 days..

[05:58] <Pontif_La_Rouge> could someone assist me?
[05:58] <usser> jigp, if you need dock just as a cool macosx launcher without task switching plugins etc you can try wbar
[05:58] <liveuser_> hello!
[05:59] <Maahes> following the instructions for Drupal on the community docs: sudo mv drupal-6.9/* drupal-6.9/.htaccess /var/www/drupal <---returns drupal-6.9/* no matches found
[05:59] <jigp> usser : yeah its not good.i have dock but I have also task bar
[05:59] <Pontif_La_Rouge> I need help

[05:59] <thomc> !ask | Pontif_La_Rouge
[05:59] <usser> jigp, you have to download it separately
[06:00] <liveuser_> sorry...! i'm actually on fedora !! o no!! but just wondering what you guys feel/think about ubuntu vs fedora...i've used ubuntu for over a year, but i kinda thinking about switching....
[06:00] <storbeck> Maahes: that's not really an ubuntu issue
[06:00] <usser> jigp, http://wbar.googlecode.com/files/wbar_1.3.3_i386.deb
[06:00] <Maahes> storbeck, the ubuntu community docs for drupal give me bad installation instructions?
[06:00] <usser> liveuser_, one word rpm
[06:00] <Maahes> and its not an ubuntu issue?
[06:00] <storbeck> Maahes: that just means that you're not in the same directory as the drupal folder
[06:00] <rww> liveuser_: Since you're in #ubuntu, the general consensus will be that Ubuntu is better. In #fedora, the consensus would be opposite.
[06:00] <Maahes> oh ^_^
[06:00] <rubydiamond> Hi guys
[06:01] <liveuser_> yea..ok thanks...lol
[06:01] <jigp> usser : open with ark default?
[06:01] <rubydiamond> what is the best music player available in ubuntu ?
[06:01] <rww> !best | rubydiamond
[06:01] <storbeck> rubydiamond: mocp
[06:01] <liveuser_> wait...usser...so is rpm bad??
[06:01] <Maahes> uh wait storbeck no its in my home dir and I was in ~
[06:01] <rubydiamond> what is the good music player available in ubuntu ?
[06:01] <usser> jigp, no open the terminal cd ~/Desktop
[06:01] <usser> jigp, sudo dpkg -i wbar*.deb
[06:01] <jigp> ussher : sudo dpkg -i wbar_1.3.3_i386.deb not working

[06:02] <mca1> dian na
[06:02] <Pontif_La_Rouge> will do, I'm trying to install java, sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk and I have E: Unmet dependencies.  Try apt-get -f install, actually sudo apt-get install....anything doesn't work and I get the same message
[06:02] <EtFb> Has anyone noticed any weird behaviour with the standard Ubuntu version of Firefox?  Randomly opening pages of the form www.WORD.com where WORD is some word that appeared on the page you were already viewing?
[06:02] <Maahes> removing the * seemed to work though
[06:02] <jigp> usser : done installing
[06:02] <storbeck> Maahes: copy/paste the output of the command: find / -type d -name drupal-6.9
[06:03] <usser> liveuser_, well, its not necessarily bad, the delta patches, where you dont have to download entire openoffice package just to upgrade from 2.4 to 3.0 are awesome, but its just i don't know, their package manager feels sluggish, and boy i dare you to interrupt it in the process of installing a package you're in for some serious giggles
[06:03] <billybigrigger> whats the best looking dock for ubuntu? cairo or awn?
[06:03] <usser> jigp, cool try wbar
[06:03] <storbeck> Maahes: using the command with the * and without it are entirely two different things
[06:03] <bullgard4> EtFb: I did not notice such.
[06:03] <jigp> usser : where is it? not in accessories ans system too
[06:03] <storbeck> using the * moves the files inside the folder, without it, it moves the folder itself
[06:03] <usser> jigp, it doesnt have an application entry. run it from terminal
[06:04] <usser> jigp, just type wbar
[06:04] <spike_> There is someone to help me please = )
[06:04] <EtFb> bullgard4: I just wish I could think of a way to ask that question of google, but it's maddenly generic.
[06:04] <Maahes> storbeck, perhaps but mv drupal-6.9/ /var/www/drupal moved the contents of drupal-6.9 to /var/www/drupal
[06:04] <storbeck> Maahes: if it did that, then you have a very weird version of linux
[06:04] <usser> jigp, you can use wbarconf for easy setup http://www.ihku.biz/wbarconf/wbarconf_0.7.2-1_i386.deb
[06:04] <storbeck> because it shouldn't have
[06:05] <jigp> usser : ok im stock in terminal "using a super bar"
[06:05] <spike_> I need help
[06:05] <usser> jigp, you should see it, unless its hidden under simdock
[06:06] <bullgard4> EtFb: I do not understand you very well. My native language is not English. So say it in other Standard English words, please.
[06:06] <Maahes> storbeck, http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/5240/screenshotw.png
[06:06] <jigp> usser : same terminal cd ~/Desktop and udo dpkg -i wbar*.deb for wbarconf ?
[06:07] <jigp> usser : its not there in simdock
[06:07] <usser> jigp, sudo dpkg -i wbarconf*.deb
[06:08] <storbeck> ...
[06:08] <storbeck> you said it moved the "contents", it moved the folder
[06:09] <jigp> usser : ok done. but I don't see the wbarconf
[06:09] <usser> jigp, type wbarconf on the terminal
[06:10] <Maahes> storbeck, well and everything in it. there was no drupal prior
[06:10] <doc``> how do i mount a img file in ubuntu?
[06:10] <EtFb> bullgard4: It's OK.  It's not important.
[06:10] <storbeck> you never said there was no drupal folder
[06:10] <storbeck> but either way, the issue is fixed
[06:11] <Maahes> oh wait, it did, it just didn't find the .htaccess file
[06:11] <Maahes> that was the original issue
[06:11] <Maahes> eh, nevermind
[06:11] <Huufarted> Hey, folks.  Got a question for you.  In Gnome, with the network manager.  How do you force Ubuntu to select a specific network connection each time you log in?  As it stands, on this new install, it defaults to DHCP instead of my static IP
[06:12] <Surlent777> Can anyone assist me in getting Ubuntu to work with my wired connection that, for whatever reason, is not autodetecting anything?
[06:12] <storbeck> Surlent777: what interface do you have?
[06:13] <bullgard4> Huufarted: The answer to your question depends on your network-manager version. So please repeat your question including your nm version.
[06:13] <Surlent777> storbeck, eth1?
[06:13] <storbeck> Surlent777: type in a terminal and pastebin the outputs for me: sudo dhclient eth1
[06:13] <jigp> usser : cool :) ... now what kind of configuration to set there? I just want your type
[06:14] <usser> jigp, i dont use it :) just adjust to your liking, fiddle with options see how it behaves, see if you like it or not
[06:14] <Surlent777> storbeck: This could be a bit of an issue, as this is my only computer that is able to get online; I dual boot with Windows, which IS working...
[06:14] <storbeck> eh
[06:14] <storbeck> then just try running dhclient
[06:14] <storbeck> it will help you
[06:15] <Surlent777> storbeck: what is that? I've never heard of it
[06:15] <storbeck> it's the equivelant to the network manager, only in a shell
[06:15] <Pontif_La_Rouge> I'm using this guide (http://mirosol.kapsi.fi/tx2020/tx2000howto.htm) to help get all my stuff working properly, and I'm on the stop to get my rotation screen working but when I input the command gksudo gedit /etcXll/xorg.conf a new window comes up but nothing is in it, and I'm also not sure how to add "option RandRRotation" etc etc
[06:15] <jigp> usser : this is cool! thanks! but I have still task bars in the upper
[06:16] <jigp> usser : how to remove them?
[06:16] <jigp> usser : I don't have clear desktop auto too...
[06:16] <Surlent777> the network manager seems to exist only to cause me pain...the one in 8.04 was actually easier, I think...but anyway, why use the shell version instead of the GUI version?
[06:16] <usser> jigp, wbar doesnt do taskbar. its only a launcher
[06:16] <usser> jigp, so i'd keep it if i was to stick with wbar
[06:16] <storbeck> Pontif_La_Rouge: you typed it wrong, it should be /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:16] <jigp> usser : how to clear desktop windows?like in windows there is ctrl+win
[06:17] <storbeck> Surlent777: because terminal based apps are always better ;)
[06:17] <Surlent777> storbeck: heh. also, I got some weird output when I tried the traditional ifup command
[06:17] <usser> jigp, im not sure what you mean
[06:17]  * Grimmjow-Laptop is back.
[06:17] <storbeck> don't use ifup
[06:17] <storbeck> use ifconfig
[06:17] <Pontif_La_Rouge> I should really just cut and paste commands from now on >.< thanks
[06:17] <y0shu> !seen
[06:17] <storbeck> (using sudo of course)
[06:17] <Huufarted> bullgard4, Network Manager Applet 0.7.0, is that what you're asking?
[06:17] <jigp> usser : like you will minimize all window in just one click
[06:18] <Surlent777> storbeck: * if-up.d/mountnfs[eth1]: waiting for interface ath0 before doing NFS mounts
[06:18] <Surlent777>  * if-up.d/mountnfs[eth1]: waiting for interface wlan0 before doing NFS mounts
[06:18] <Surlent777>  *
[06:18] <Surlent777> sorry
[06:18] <storbeck> jigp: there's a button on your app bar...
[06:18] <FloodBot2> Surlent777: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:18] <Surlent777> went a little longer than I thought
[06:18] <usser> jigp, hm i dont know.
[06:18] <Surlent777> but that sems weird to me
[06:19] <Surlent777> storbeck, is any of that significant?
[06:19] <bullgard4> Huufarted: Yes. But I cannot help you because I have an earlier version. Network Manager's functionality has greatly changed in this respect.
[06:19] <Huufarted> bullgard4, do you know where I could go to look for that information?
[06:19] <storbeck> Surlent777: it just didn't connect so it timed out
[06:20] <jigp> storbeck ussher : ahhh I saw it. the tv icon in the left :)
[06:20] <Surlent777> storbeck: OK. I think it's also worth noting that the big fancy network suite thing seems to say that I have an IP address.
[06:20] <bullgard4> Huufarted: Here in this channel. Just repeat your original question but add your nm version.
[06:20] <Huufarted> bullgard4, I'm checking the community documentation for it, now
[06:20] <storbeck> i don't think your interface is eth1 though, it looks like it's ath0
[06:21] <storbeck> well, nevermind. ath0 is for wireless
[06:21] <Huufarted> Hmmm, just going to delete all of the network profiles except my static one.  :)  The worst that could happen is I fry it, amirite?
[06:21] <jigp> usser : I tried dragging the folders in my desktop so that the folders will go to the dock wbar but no luck. how to put the folders in dock?
[06:21] <Surlent777> storbeck. I know that it uses wlan0 for wireless, I have made that work elsewhere
[06:21] <bullgard4> Huufarted: When I checked the community's documentation the last time, it was incomplete.
[06:21] <storbeck> i believe wlan is just a tunnel for ath0
[06:22] <usser> jigp, you'll have to create a launcher using wbarconf
[06:22] <Surlent777> storbeck: OK. So you're saying I should try this dhclient thing and hope for the best then?
[06:22] <storbeck> yep, it's never failed me. dhcpcd is good too, but i don't think it comes with ubuntu
[06:22] <usser> jigp, you'll need to launch the file-manager with a path, so in the command field you'd type nautilus /data for example
[06:23] <Surlent777> storbeck: I'm not sure if this will give me any different results, but I'll try it. I'll pop back in here either way and let you know how it turned out
[06:23] <Pontif_La_Rouge> storbeck what about the next step getting the screen to rotate using those commands
[06:23] <storbeck> ok
[06:24] <storbeck> Pontif_La_Rouge: i dont know what you're talking about
[06:24] <Pontif_La_Rouge> oh
[06:25] <Pontif_La_Rouge> well, in that guide it tells me to enter the following commands to rotate the screen xrandr -o left etc etc
[06:25] <storbeck> and what's the issue?
[06:26] <Pontif_La_Rouge> I assume I'm to enter them in the terminal, and I get this message X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
[06:26] <Pontif_La_Rouge>   Major opcode of failed request:  157 (RANDR)
[06:26] <Pontif_La_Rouge>   Minor opcode of failed request:  2 (RRSetScreenConfig)

[06:27] <Huufarted> Question about Ubuntu's default IP.  How do I force ubuntu to have a static IP on bootup into Gnome?  I can't seem to get Ubuntu to boot with anything but DHCP loaded.
[06:27] <jigp> usser : ok ill configure it and explore first.thanks *hgs*
[06:27] <jigp> usser : ok ill configure it and explore first.thanks *hugs*
[06:27] <PUfelix85> got a question about bluetooh: does anyone else have a problem connecting to a device in 8.10?
[06:28] <usser> jigp, no problem :)
[06:30] <smokeytheman> yo
[06:30] <nickrud> Huufarted, the easiest way is to set up the interface in /etc/network/interfaces
[06:30] <smokeytheman> im having trouble extracting .rar archive with many parts
[06:31] <nickrud> Huufarted, http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/319 , the 'primary network interface' is exactly what I put in that file
[06:32] <Huufarted> nickrud, I see.  I just found an article indicating it's a bug in 8.10
[06:32] <nickrud> Huufarted, ah, you mean with network manager? I've never used that for static, only for wireless
[06:32] <Huufarted> yeah, nickrud
[06:32] <shadeslayer> hehe i used my wifi finder switch which was not configured to launch a terminal
[06:33] <spike__> is there someone to help me ?
[06:33] <nickrud> Huufarted, I was assuming an ethernet connection for static addressing
[06:33] <nickrud> PUfelix85, me. I've seen a bug listed in the launchpad, saying that bluetooth was essentially broken in 8.10
[06:34] <tehboriz> i don't know how to use "nvclock" can someone please assist me?
[06:34] <nickrud> !ask | spike__
[06:34] <gldtn> hello..
[06:34] <spike__> okay!
[06:34] <nickrud> hello gldtn welcome to #ubuntu (guessing it's your first visit)
[06:35] <spike__> so I have a problem with all the themes, for example when I try to install a theme (gtk2) it doesn't work and I have a message " gtk+-engine-theme is not installed "..
[06:36] <gladio70> #ubuntu-it
[06:36] <PUfelix85> nickrud, that is disappointing to hear. do you know of any solutions?
[06:36] <nickrud> spike__, some themes use some software to do the drawing (the engine) usually the theme will tell you which engine you need. Most likely the engine is in the repositories
[06:37] <kop> I'm sure this question is getting old but <Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0" > will RANDER & Nvidia /xinerama play nice w/each other or do I need a bigger hammer ?
[06:37] <gldtn> I installed MPD and Sonata... both working well.. but I'm having a bit of a problem where I put MPD to start under gnome session and it starts as root, so it doesn't read my MPD Database from my user(me) which is located at ~/.mpd/mpd.db.. what is the best way for me to fix this?
[06:37] <nickrud> PUfelix85, nope. Don't use bluetooth much so I didn't spend much time on it
[06:37] <PUfelix85> darn... I like my bluetooth mouse too... :(
[06:37] <spike__> nickrud: will all the themes I have the same message = /
[06:38] <nickrud> spike__, a lot, until you get the engine installed. What engine is it saying it needs?
[06:38] <rdw200169> PUfelix85, you're trying to get a mouse working, bluetooth type, right?
[06:38] <gldtn> spike__, missing engine?
[06:38] <PUfelix85> yeah
[06:39] <spike__> it ask me the GTK+-theme-engine
[06:39] <rdw200169> PUfelix85, i got the mac one working on 7.10 (i don't have it anymore :( )
[06:39] <spike__> but I search in synaptic and I don't found it
[06:39] <nickrud> spike__, that sounds like an engine for the old gtk, gtk1.2
[06:39] <PUfelix85> I keep looking on line and all I see is that an update killed BT
[06:39] <gldtn> spike__, I'm having the same problem with my GTK2.0 themes.. I checked the theme config files and most are pixmap which I heard its now called pixbuf under intrepid..?
[06:39] <PUfelix85> sounds like epic fail
[06:40] <rdw200169> PUfelix85, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-in-ubuntu.html
[06:40] <rdw200169> PUfelix85, have you tried something like that?
[06:40]  * kop eyes the bigger hammer
[06:40] <rdw200169> PUfelix85, OHHH, i didn't know about that!
[06:40] <Walt> #
[06:40] <Walt> hello
[06:41] <gldtn> nickrud, is there any packages or website where we can get a list of the most popular gtk2.0 engines?
[06:41] <PUfelix85> hmmm I will have to check that out thanks
[06:41] <Guest78320> how can I watch video on sutes such as CBS.com where ther media players areonly for Mac and Windows?
[06:41] <linny1> anyone know of a tool that can recursively scan a dir tree and extract any spilt rars it comes across ?
[06:41] <Surlent777> I forget exactly who it was that was helping me, but you're a bloody genius! dhclient somehow seems to work!
[06:41] <rdw200169> PUfelix85, i always did it the hard way, i.e. that way
[06:41] <spike__> gldtn: I have the package gtk2-engines-pixbuf installed but it doesn't work = /
[06:41] <nickrud> gldtn, apt-cache search engines | grep gtk  in a terminal
[06:42] <kop> Surlent777, dhclient usually does work unless you're me :-)
[06:42] <gldtn> spike__, same here.. I read somewhere while searching that it was suppose to work.. but it doesn't
[06:42] <PUfelix85> kk I will defiantly give it a try
[06:42] <Surlent777> kop: I just wish that nm would be as incredibly awesome as this dhclient thing
[06:43] <Surlent777> kop: I suppose I need to run it each time I boot up, yeah?
[06:43] <kop> I'm sure this question is getting old but <Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0" > will RANDER & Nvidia /xinerama play nice w/each other on 8.10  or do I need a bigger hammer ?
[06:43] <somethingclever> nickrud, HEY, remember this issue? http://paste.ubuntu.com/123659/ i found the DEB file! how do i fix my system now?
[06:43] <spike__> nickrud: I wrote it in a terminal, it give me a lot of packages =O
[06:44] <kop> Surlent777, not usually but I've had that problem lately , I need to find a different place to start pfctl but that's my problem
[06:44] <gldtn> yeah there quite a few.. going to install one by one and try it out till I hit the right one :P
[06:44] <Surlent777> anyway, I'm off to update stuff and screw up my system in a comical manner, doubtless from trying to get KDE to work without compiz screwing it up! Thanks again, whoever you were.
[06:44] <spike__> gldtn: I try to install some new packages and I'll tell you if something work
[06:44] <TurTle_> how can I enable streaming video players for players that are for windows and MAC?  Is it possible?
[06:44] <Surlent777> kop: noted.
[06:44] <nickrud> somethingclever, ok, lets try the easy way.   cd into the dir that has the deb, and run sudo dpkg -r --force-reinstreq
[06:44] <gldtn> spike__, thanks.. same here
[06:44] <nickrud> somethingclever, that should remove it
[06:45] <fangor> i have a problem with some functionality with my xbox gamepad under ubuntu 8.10. It detects it, and it is even using the left joystick as a mirrored mouse device and the start and select keys as click
[06:45] <kop> TurTle_, that is what vlc is "supposed to do "
[06:45] <somethingclever> nickrud, dpkg: unknown force/refuse option `reinstreq'
[06:45] <nickrud> gldtn, spike__ stick with the gtk2 themes
[06:45] <linny1> anyone know of a tool that can recursively scan a dir tree and extract any spilt rars it comes across ?
[06:46] <fangor> but this is not what I want it to do. I have read many howtos and all of them talk about jscalibrate, which I installed, but does not seem to reflect any of the inputs I give it
[06:46] <nickrud> somethingclever, gah.   --force-remove-reinstreq , sorry
[06:46] <gldtn> nickrud, will do ;).. do I need to restart or logout of my session for the engines to take affect?
[06:46] <nickrud> gldtn, no, they should show up in the theme dialog immediately
[06:47] <PUfelix85> another random question for anyone: Do you know how to make a partition into a VM? (perferably for virtualbox)
[06:47] <nickrud> gldtn, assuming they register properly. Very likely, since they are in the repos but some external themes may require a relogin
[06:47] <pteague> any idea if i'll have any issues switching from an nvidia 8600gts to a 9600gt ?
[06:47] <BoxxyBot>  Yeah!
[06:47] <somethingclever> dpkg: --remove needs at least one package name argument
[06:47] <somethingclever> , nickrud
[06:47] <BoxxyBot>  I LOVE YOU!!
[06:47] <BoxxyBot>  I wear too much eyeliner
[06:48] <kop> linny1, sounds more like a scripting prob ie; find /| grep <fragged .rar part* wtf>
[06:48] <BoxxyBot>  I LOVE uuu <3
[06:48] <TurTle_> i mean straight from the website, kop
[06:48] <BoxxyBot>  My name is boxxy
[06:48] <spike__> gldtn: does it work ?
[06:48] <somethingclever> nickrud, i got it!
[06:48] <nickrud> somethingclever, ah, I was assuming you'd use the name of the package. so, full command:   sudo dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq fax4100lpr
[06:48] <somethingclever> thanks buddy
[06:48] <nickrud> worked?  sudo apt-get -f install   runs successfully?
[06:48] <kop> TurTle_, I'll hide in the corner now
[06:48] <somethingclever> got it workin nickrud thank you!
[06:48] <gldtn> nickrud, ok.. it's funny where it gives me a warning it doesn't say which engine is missing "This theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ engine " is not installed"
[06:49] <spike__> gldtn: same = /
[06:49] <nickrud> gldtn, maybe the web page will tell you what engine is required
[06:49] <o0splitpaw0o> Any want to confirm some iptables settings for me? I can cut n paste it online.. forgotten the url though
[06:49]  * Grimmjow-Laptop| is away: Gone away for now
[06:49] <hateball> !paste | o0splitpaw0o
[06:49] <somethingclever> seriously, thanks, you saved me a lot of trouble of reinstalling etc
[06:49] <TurTle_> kop, what?
[06:50] <nickrud> somethingclever, yw, I hate reinstalling also.
[06:50] <gldtn> nickrud, no.. I checked.. but no luck.. see if you pay attetion to the warning msg it has " where the name of the engine should be
[06:50] <kop> TurTle_, nm I'm hiding in the corner I thought you meant from source file not from web
[06:50] <bobJR> I Need help im trying to get read & write permissions on my usb external its a 200gb and in ntfs format ive got ntfs-3g driver and ntfs config but when i open config it doesnt give me a drive to select just pops up read and write permission does anyone know what the problem is your help would be appreciated
[06:51] <nickrud> but, here's a useful tidbit you should write down:  sudo dpkg --get-selections > mypackages, move mypackages to new install , sudo dpkg --set-selections < mypackages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade  , replicates a package list
[06:51] <nickrud> gldtn, haha. Back theme construction
[06:51] <nickrud> *bad
[06:51] <TurTle_> oh
[06:52] <bobJR> im running xubuntu 8.10 new installation last night
[06:52] <kop> right
[06:52] <TurTle_> well  i guess you doont have an answer
[06:52] <gldtn> nickrud, that's what I thought.. or maybe just for a little older version of file when written?
[06:52] <kop> tru
[06:52] <TurTle_> dont hide in the closet though
[06:52] <kop> won't be the first time
[06:52] <TurTle_> youll scarwe someone
[06:52] <gldtn> nickrud.. the theme I'm try to install is called mookid by amadme
[06:52] <o0splitpaw0o> TY! tell me if this looks right. appreciate the help http://paste.ubuntu.com/123669/
[06:53] <gldtn> nickrud, but I'm also trying other themes by different people and I get the same error
[06:53] <shadeslayer> can i use my scroll lock led as a ethernet monitoring device??
[06:53] <credo> bobJR: you familiar with chmod command?
[06:53] <bobJR> nope
[06:53] <TurTle_> what is you enabled only one core in the bios but had a quad core.Would it make a difference?
[06:53] <bobJR> never used it credo
[06:53] <felixsulla> What is your favorite IRC client for gnome?
[06:53] <nickrud> gldtn, not sure at all why that's happening. But then I'm using really simplistic themes
[06:54] <ZeRo_FeniX_> What is a good light weight web browser for a ubuntu server?
[06:54] <credo> you need your drive location... it would look like sudo chmod a+rw /mnt/sdX (number)
[06:54] <gldtn> nickrud, ;) I like minimalist themes which is usually pretty simple
[06:54] <nickrud> TurTle_, you mean play streaming wmv and quicktime?
[06:55] <bobJR> oh i know my drive location its /dev/sdf1
[06:55] <shadeslayer> something like the wifi led,except i want it for my Ethernet
[06:55] <usser> ZeRo_FeniX_, java script?
[06:55] <credo> is it mounted?
[06:55] <bobJR> yes
[06:55] <bobJR> i cant delete files or write to it
[06:55] <bobJR> only read
[06:56] <ZeRo_FeniX_> not sure
[06:56] <usser> ZeRo_FeniX_, try dillo
[06:56] <ZeRo_FeniX_> kk
[06:56] <credo> apply chmod to where its mounted
[06:56] <bobJR> ok what should i type
[06:56] <bobJR> ill open terminal
[06:56] <credo> you know where its mounted?
[06:57] <kop> sudo chmod 755 /path/to/<filename>
[06:57] <gldtn> nickrud, hmm from checking out some of the themes that come with ubuntu and some that are being installed with the engines they all have a similar titlebar(original looking title bar) the theme I'm trying to install changes the title bar of the applications quite a bit.. are there any especial engines for that?
[06:58] <shadeslayer> !led
[06:58] <bobJR> this is what is in title bar when i open it or tab bar /media/Seagate
[06:58] <nickrud> gldtn, got a link to the theme?
[06:58] <shadeslayer> so anybody anyy idea??
[06:58] <kop> sudo chown <user> /path/to/<filename>
[06:58] <credo> user+rwx =)
[06:59] <kop> I'm sure this question is getting old but <Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0" > will RANDER & Nvidia /xinerama play nice w/each other on 8.10  or do I need a bigger hammer ?
[06:59] <gldtn> nickrud, http://amadme.deviantart.com/art/mookid-Gtk-79798296
[07:00] <bobJR> im confused its on /dev/sdf1  files are here /media/Seagate   and my linux user name is rmzeppelin
[07:00] <bobJR> what exactly do i type
[07:00] <o0splitpaw0o> What I'm doing is setting routing but not sire I have the right "point to point" for the iptables the internel network is already setup with dhcp, just jeed t get <IP_ADDRESS> forwarded to gw <IP_ADDRESS> which is the router
[07:00] <jeeves> how do I set up a VPN into a windows network?
[07:01] <ross_> where do i get the monopoly game atlantik to work in ubuntu
[07:01] <ross_> what is the command to install atlantic
[07:01] <doctor> hi ppl - ubuntu 8.04 stacks after exit from games - like UtR... no sound, no new app to launch... wtc?
[07:01] <shadeslayer> btw how do i detect what leds are there on my keyboard
[07:01] <shadeslayer> i need the device name
[07:02] <nickrud> gldtn, according to the gtkrc file it's expecting the pixmap engine
[07:02] <nickrud> why it's not working ....
[07:03] <snow_ru> hi
[07:03] <o0splitpaw0o> eth0 (internel network) <IP_ADDRESS> through eth1 (DHCP enabled) to router (GW) <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:03] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Is there any way to run a GUI web browser inside a command prompt ubuntu?
[07:03] <kingnothing> anyone care to discuss xfs vs ext3? I'm about to format a 1TB hdd for media and need to figure out what fs to go with
[07:03] <snow_ru> Why my "tab" for the autocompletion doesn't work ?
[07:03] <ZeRo_FeniX_> or would I need to install a GUI?
[07:04] <gldtn> nickrud, yeah that's what I thought.. I checked for that engine to see if it was installed but it was not I installed one but not sure if it was the right one
[07:04] <nickrud> gldtn, it's also showing an entry for the mist engine, but no definitions for the engine
[07:04] <snow_ru> anyone can give advice ?
[07:04] <gldtn> nickrud, yeah I noticed that too
[07:04] <shadeslayer> kingnothing: wait for ext3
[07:04] <shadeslayer> *ext4
[07:05] <o0splitpaw0o> !iptables
[07:05] <shadeslayer> how do i detect all my devices in ubuntu
[07:05] <shadeslayer> as in all leds,etc
[07:06] <nickrud> gldtn, iirc the pixmap is built in to gnome,  /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libpixmap.so
[07:06] <kingnothing> shadeslayer: unless it's coming out in the next, oh, 15 minutes, that's not going to work for me
[07:06] <turtle_> ubuntu is soo stable
[07:06] <shadeslayer> kingnothing: hehe ok
[07:07] <shadeslayer> how do i detect my led's on the keyboard??
[07:07] <snow_ru> ?
[07:07] <shadeslayer> device name
[07:07] <shadeslayer> i want to run sudo iwconfig eth0 rate autoSubstitute your interface
[07:07] <snow_ru> Thinking
[07:07] <gldtn> nickrud; actually I don see that file at that location
[07:07] <snow_ru> why autocomplete just work in my root, not in the normal user !!!!
[07:08] <gldtn> nickrud, nevermind found it
[07:08] <shadeslayer> i need the device name for the scroll lock led
[07:08] <spike__> nickrud: I have the file
[07:08] <nickrud> gldtn, spike__ it's part of the -pixbuf engin
[07:09] <spike__> nickrud: do you know why it doesn't work ?
[07:09] <nickrud> spike__, nope
[07:10] <snow_ru> spidey_, why ?
[07:10] <snow_ru> spike__, why ?
[07:10] <spike__> = / before I was under Gutsy and I never had a problem like this
[07:10] <nickrud> spike__, I've picked up a bit about themes over the years, but never spent much time really understanding how they work
[07:11] <snow_ru> why the autocompletion does not work for normal user ?
[07:11] <snow_ru> bad
[07:12] <gldtn> I left the creator of the theme a comment to see if he will respond, but I doubt it.. back in the days I use to create some theme for windowmaker and post it but but never responded to comment really
[07:14] <spike__> gldtn: are you under intrepid ?
[07:14] <gldtn> spike__, yes

[07:17] <Riekal> jigp - I'm trying to get a dedicated server from ovh.co.uk and they do not sell to ppl from the US..the way they validate your account is through a text message but they only text UK numbers that start with 447
[07:17]  * kop sticks a wet thumb in jigp 's ear
[07:17] <simplexio> jigp: idont see anyreason why ypu coulnd't

[07:17] <kingnothing> why can't i create an xfs partition with gparted?
[07:18] <suigeneris> does linux have a command like nbtstat -a in windows?
[07:18] <chronographer> palomer: wow fancy! <insert japanese here>

[07:18] <Surlent777> OK, one more question. Why is it that I am able to get online, and yet cannot properly run update-manager?
[07:19] <jigp> chronographer:  ahh ok. I thought there is another cd to install first hehe thanks
[07:19] <suigeneris> Seveas, simplexio, it queries the hostname etc. by ip
[07:19] <kop> Surlent777, software sources , I prefer mirrors.kernel.org
[07:20] <chronographer> jigp: afaik computers are computers... the world over. (apart from maybe computers in cruise missiles and submarines...they are a little different... but Ubuntu prolly install still) ;-)
[07:20] <Seveas> suigeneris, smbclient should be able to help you. Read its manpage for more details, my knowledge of it is slightly rusty
[07:20] <simplexio> suigeneris: yes and no, do you mean  portscan/sambastatus/wins status or what
[07:20] <Surlent777> kop: even wine's server isn't coming up
[07:20] <jigp> chronographer:  ok thanks :)

[07:20] <sh2> when i open some application. i cannot see the status bar that is located at the bottom of the screen.
[07:21] <Surlent777> kop: it then tells me "Could not connect to localhost:4001 (<IP_ADDRESS>). - connect (111 Connection refused)"
[07:21] <suigeneris> Seveas, windows help says: Displays protocol statistics and current TCP/IP connections using NBT
[07:21] <suigeneris> simplexio, ^^^
[07:22] <Seveas> suigeneris, smbstatus -p does that for localhost. Don't know if it can do that for remote hosts. But somewhere between smbclient and smbstatus you should get some info
[07:22] <wangfei> quit
[07:22] <wangfei> exit
[07:23] <simplexio> suigeneris: smbstatus can do it remote server, if we are talking about samba shares and filelocks per server
[07:24] <sh2> how do i make the status bar which is displayed at the bottom of the screen always visible. What is mean by status bar is it is the bar, which contains the start button and displays all the windows in the minimised form at the bottom of the sceen
[07:24] <sh2> if you select the window you want you just need to click it
[07:24] <sh2> im unable to see it if i open my browser
[07:24] <crdlb> sh2: when exactly is the bottom panel not visible?
[07:24] <Melik> anybody recommend a CLI program like file-roller?
[07:24] <Seveas> simplexio, ah, good to know :)
[07:24] <akventure> i'm a complete ubuntu newbie and don't know how to get this ZNC tar.gz package properly installed and configured on Ubuntu 8.04
[07:25] <crdlb> Melik: tar? :) or do you want some sort of ncurses browser?
[07:25] <sh2> crdlb: yes
[07:25] <Melik> would tar be able to extract .rar files?
[07:25] <Melik> or .7z
[07:25] <sh2> crdlb: do you understand what im seeing
[07:25] <akventure> is a page with explicit terminal instructions?
[07:25] <akventure> i can upack the files...
[07:25] <crdlb> sh2: I guess you're using compiz?
[07:25] <Melik> crdlb,  read above
[07:26] <sh2> im using ubuntu 8.10
[07:26] <akventure> but then i just have a bunch of files i don't know what to do with
[07:26] <suigeneris> simplexio, I don't have smbstatus. what package do i fetch?
[07:26] <scizzo-> Melik: no you need unrar
[07:26] <scizzo-> Melik: 7z needs 7zip support
[07:26] <gldtn> nickrud, do you know if Aurora-Engine is a gtk2?
[07:26] <suigeneris> sorry i have it
[07:26] <simplexio> suigeneris: not 100% which one has it, i think its on samba-client
[07:26] <Melik> damn i was hoping just 1 program to be able to do all that via CLI
[07:27] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Can someone tell me how to start xfce from a command line?
[07:27] <spike__> gldtn: I think it is but I'm not sure
[07:27] <Melik> ZeRo_FeniX_,  startxfce4
[07:28] <ZeRo_FeniX_> ty
[07:28] <Melik> or u can edit ur .xinitrc file in ur home directory and put "exec startxfce4" and then u can just use startx
[07:28] <Melik> to launch xfce4
[07:28] <simplexio> which btings o my mind qwuestion: which command gives owner package for file ?
[07:28] <gldtn> hmm why did my xchat just closed unexpectedly? strange
[07:28] <ross_> i would like to learn c++ in ubuntu, what program should i use and where can i get it
[07:28] <suigeneris> simplexio, mtozses@mtozses-laptop:/var/www/deriaksesuarlar$ smbstatus -p <IP_ADDRESS> / ERROR: Failed to initialise messages database: Permission denied / messaging_tdb_init failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
[07:28] <Seveas> simplexio, dpkg -S /path/to/file
[07:29] <den_kiev1> хало всем
[07:29] <simplexio> ross_: minimal setup, build-essential (gcc) and editor you choose
[07:29] <Seveas> !ru | den_kiev1
[07:29] <ross_> simplexio: I have installed build-essential
[07:29] <scizzo-> ross_: you do know that C++ is a programing language right?
[07:30] <ross_> scizzo: what do you mean?
[07:30] <ravn1> hey ppl, I have large problems with my ubuntu install. It's swapping like crazy, and I just can't figure out why. If I sum up memory consumption in the System monitor memory column I get something like 400 MB and I have 1 GB in my laptop. Why is it swapping? The computer us more or less useless, having to wait 30 seconds for every little click, what is wrong, I'm geting crazy here....
[07:30] <ross_> scizzo: it's an object oriented language
[07:30] <scizzo-> ross_: yes but still a programing language
[07:30] <ross_> scizzo: so i already installed build essential
[07:31] <ross_> scizzo: how do i open up gcc
[07:31] <scizzo-> ross_: you use g++ for C++ files
[07:31] <simplexio> ross_: gcc file.c++ i think
[07:31] <riz_man> hey all. is there any command equilvant of sys-unconfig in ubuntu ?
[07:31] <ross_> scizzo: how do i open g++?
[07:31] <Seveas> ross_, gcc is a compiler, not something you 'open'. Please google for a c++ course.
[07:31] <ross_> scizzo: sorry i am confused
[07:31] <ross_> scizzo: I usually use visual studio for g++
[07:31] <scizzo-> ross_: $ g++ file.cc
[07:31] <riz_man> "sys-unconfig" reconfigure all the interfaces setting etc..
[07:31] <Seveas> riz_man, what does sys-unconfig do?
[07:32] <Seveas> ah
[07:32] <simplexio> Seveas: just read man page, im not 100% sure that you can use it to remote server, though it takes ip address argument without complaining
[07:32] <Seveas> riz_man, dpkg-reconfigure comes closest
[07:32] <riz_man> avialable in solaris & rpm distros
[07:32] <scizzo-> ross_: if you want to use a IDE I would suggest you look at anjuta, geany or such applications
[07:32] <ross_> scizzo: so in other words, i can just open wordpad and then save it as .cc file ?
[07:32] <simplexio> hmm wrong guy.. suigeneris ^^
[07:32] <ross_> scizzo: what is IDE
[07:32] <scizzo-> ross_: yes...since g++ is the compiler
[07:32] <ross_> scizzo: sorry i am terribly new at ubuntu
[07:33] <simplexio> ross_: integrated development enviroment
[07:33] <ross_> simplexio: how do i get that
[07:33] <scizzo-> ross_: IDE = Integrated Development Environment like simplexio  said
[07:33] <scizzo-> o lord
[07:33] <ubuntistas> is anybody here using boxeee?
[07:33] <ross_> simplexio: how do i get anjuta
[07:33] <mtholdenss> !artwork
[07:33] <riz_man> Seveas, what parameter should I pass to reconfigure my network settings ?
[07:34] <Seveas> riz_man, that I don't know. I'm using networkmanager to handle that
[07:34] <suigeneris> thanks simplexio
[07:34] <mtholdenss> is there a new background for jaunty alpha?
[07:34] <ross_> simplexio: nevermind i got it from the package manager :x
[07:34] <ross_> simplexio: thank you
[07:34] <ross_> scizzo: thank you
[07:35] <scizzo-> ross_: there is some documentation and guidelines on the ubuntu website for contribution information
[07:35] <scizzo-> ross_: you can find most information there of how to contribute
[07:35] <ubuntistas> does anybody here use boxee?
[07:35] <DigitalKiwi> geany is the awesome
[07:35] <ross_> scizzo: how did you start off with ubuntu
[07:35] <spike_> What packages are required to use gtk2 themes please
[07:35] <Seveas> ross_, if I may make a suggestion -- please learn to use ubuntu before trying to program with it. Makes your life so uch easier :)
[07:35] <ross_> seveas: can you please give me some guides
[07:35] <scizzo-> ross_: long time use from Debian and then went over to ubuntu
[07:35] <simplexio> ross_: "all" software you probably need can be installed using : sudo apt-get install program_name , also you can find software which you need by using command : apt-cache search something ,
[07:36] <ross_> seveas: i would like some links
[07:36] <ross_> simplexio: thank you
[07:36] <Seveas> ross_, search on wiki.ubuntu.com and help.ubuntu.com, those sites give tons of info
[07:36] <simplexio> knowing howto use computer isnt requirement for programming, but it helps
[07:36] <ross_> seveas: graci
[07:36] <mtholdenss> is there a mac ubuntu channel?
[07:37] <Seveas> mtholdenss, there used to be #ubuntu-ppc when mac still used that processor. Nowadays there's just #ubuntu :)
[07:37] <spike_> what packages are required to use gtk2 theme please : )
[07:37] <Seveas> spike_, gtk2 :)
[07:38] <ubuntistas> does anybody know how can i log out from boxee?
[07:38] <spike_> Seveas: I have this package but when I try to use some gtk2 theme it doesn't work
[07:39] <Seveas> !doesn't work | spike_
[07:39] <prince_jammys> spike_: try gtk2-engines
[07:39] <spike_> I have a message like this : gtk2-engines is required
[07:40] <spike_> when I can found this package ?
[07:40] <spike_> it is not in synaptic
[07:40] <prince_jammys> spike_: it's in the main repository
[07:40] <Seveas>  gtk2-engines - theme engines for GTK+ 2.x
[07:40] <prince_jammys> at least for hardy it is
[07:40] <Seveas> for intrepid too :)
[07:40] <maxagaz> in "sudo myuser -", what is the meaning of the hyphen ?
[07:41] <Seveas> apt-cache search gtk2-engines shows a few
[07:41] <mtholdenss> i heard there is new default artwork for jaunty alpha 3, that true?
[07:41] <Seveas> maxagaz, a typo. The one who wrote that eitherprobably meant su instead of sudo
[07:41] <neil_d> Hi, I have a printer, I would like to share it so I can connect to it via socket 9100. how do I do this ?
[07:42] <Seveas> mtholdenss, anyway, what you want is sudo -u myuser -i ---- that gives you a shell as the myuser user
[07:42] <Seveas> neil_d, you can't. You can share it on port 631 via cups though.
[07:42] <ubuntistas> is anybody here using boxee
[07:42] <ubuntistas> ?
[07:42] <maxagaz> Seveas, then, in "su myuser -", what is the meaning of the hyphen ?
[07:42] <Seveas> maxagaz, anyway, what you want is sudo -u myuser -i ---- that gives you a shell as the myuser user
[07:43] <prince_jammys> maxagaz: causes a login shell
[07:43] <neil_d> Seveas: ok, something is listening on that port.
[07:43] <xC> morning all! what filesys should i format my new 1tb portable hdd, ext3, ntfs, reiserfs or xfs?
[07:43] <Seveas> maxagaz, it means 'give me a login shell' instead of 'give me a shubshell'. The difference is the resetting of some environment variables, making the - variant safer
[07:43] <Seveas> xC, depends on what you
[07:43] <Seveas> re going to do with it
[07:44] <spike_> Seaves: I have the package gtk2-engines installed but all of my themes don't work = /
[07:44] <mib_guvg4wqr> Hey guy I need to add my gateway and modem on a diff n/w using virtual interfaces...
[07:44] <xC> Seveas: recently gone from xp to xubuntu, and the goal is to keep runing linux and i don't want a portable hdd that is fragmentet all the time
[07:44] <ganesh> no titlebar for fireox...how di i fix it?
[07:45] <Seveas> xC, if you're never going to connect it to windows, use ext3
[07:45] <gldtn> how do I check my gtk version?
[07:45] <crdlb> gldtn: apt-cache policy libgtk2.0-0
[07:45] <Seveas> xC, reiserfs by now is as dead as nina and ext3 is the standard filesystem for Ubuntu
[07:45] <shifty5> does anyone know if i can export event notifications from gnome to a terminal?
[07:45] <spike_> gldtn: Have you found a solution? =/
[07:46] <xSlack> whats the chmod to make a file rw
[07:46] <simplexio> xC: and you can actualy attleast read ext2/3 partition from windows nowdays, you just need get that fs driver from somewhere
[07:46] <Seveas> xSlack, chmod +rw file
[07:46] <suigeneris> Seveas, simplexio, FYI, I found a perl script that does exactly what nbtstat does
[07:46] <simplexio> xSlack: chmod u+rw file, for user
[07:46] <Seveas> suigeneris, would you mind sharing it with me? :)
[07:47] <suigeneris> Seveas, sure
[07:47] <simplexio> suigeneris: can you paste link, im intrested to know how its done remote
[07:47] <xC> simplexio: both read and write with fs-driver in win xp?
[07:47] <suigeneris> Seveas, simplexio, http://www.watersheep.org/~jim/perl/nbtstat.pl
[07:47] <simplexio> xC: dunno, i have newer used it, but it reads attlest
[07:48] <gldtn> crdlb; that's funny I just tried compile aurora gtk engine and it said that I need GTK+-2.10 and on there page it says I need version 2.12 or higher and I have 2.14.4
[07:48] <shifty5> i have a playstation portable ssh'd into my box, i wanna export gnome event messages to it, anyone know if its possible?
[07:48] <shifty5> point me in the right direction maybe
[07:48] <gldtn> spike_,  I might be on to something
[07:48] <spike_> gldtn: I have the same version
[07:49] <Seveas> shifty5, yes but not quite trivial. Those notifications are dbus messages. You could create something that listens to them. Maybe that's as simple as a correct invocation of dbus-monitor but I don't know
[07:49] <crdlb> gldtn: you need libgtk2.0-dev
[07:50] <shifty5> seveas, could i write a script to constantly reffresh the messages in my terminal?
[07:50] <Seveas> shifty5, probably
[07:50] <shifty5> ok thanks i'll look into this
[07:50] <xC> can i convert ntfs to ext3?
[07:50] <neil_d> Seveas: got it working, via openvpn and a local LAN
[07:50] <gldtn> crdlb; is that just needed in order to compile?
[07:50] <Seveas> xC, no. That means reformatting
[07:50] <crdlb> shifty5: the dificultly is that those messages are usually on the session bus, not the system bus, so it's difficult to access them from outside
[07:51] <Seveas> crdlb, ah, you have a point there...
[07:51] <Seveas> crdlb, though it's not too hard to "steal" the session bus
[07:51] <crdlb> gldtn: yes, it contains the development headers, which allow code to be compiled against it
[07:51] <shifty5> crdlib, from what i'm reading dbus-monitor will output that with the -session flag
[07:51] <gldtn> crdlb; thanks a lot
[07:52] <xSlack> simplexio: So if the user were (user) would the syntax be (chmod user+rw file)
[07:52] <crdlb> shifty5: yeah, but you need to have DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS set correctly for it to find that bus
[07:52] <spike_> gldtn: It works ?
[07:52] <simplexio> xSlack: nope
[07:52] <shifty5> ohhh
[07:52] <Seveas> shifty5, but by default you'll be in a different session than your desktop, if in any at all. You need to find the correct socket to use and set some environment variables
[07:52]  * Seveas out now
[07:53] <gldtn> spike; I'm trying a theme that I know every engine that it uses.. I'll let you know in a min.
[07:53] <simplexio> xSlack: file has few stats like thi: drwxr-x--x  23 sim  sim        4096 2008-08-12 22:19 src
[07:53] <prince_jammys> xSlack: no. it would be u+rw . the user name is not included. 'u' means whoever owns the file
[07:53] <ganesh> no titlebar for fireox...how di i fix it?
[07:53] <spike_> gldtn: k
[07:53] <crdlb> gldtn: firefox is completely fullscreen? (ie you don't see the panels either)
[07:54] <xSlack> prince_jammys: its an access.log file which isnt allowing my general user to write to it
[07:54] <shifty5> ganesh, is that your only application missing a title bar?
[07:54] <simplexio> xSlack: ls -la shows them in terminal, it means that file is owned by user sim, group that own file is sim, and user has rwx rights and group has read and execute right and other have execute rights (rwxr-x--x)
[07:54] <gldtn> crdlb, no why?
[07:55] <gldtn> crdlb, oops wrong person you wrote
[07:55] <Stevethe1irate> !mp3
[07:55] <crdlb> gldtn: oops, sorry :)
[07:55] <crdlb> ganesh: firefox is completely fullscreen? (ie you don't see the panels either)
[07:55] <simplexio> shifty5: so you can allow user to write in it various ways, probably easiest way is change permission o+rw file, so all can wirite into it
[07:55] <xC> Seveas: what's the biggest advantage when running ext3 instead of ntfs on a portable hdd in xubuntu?
[07:55] <gldtn> crdlb, nick completion can be a pain sometimes
[07:56] <ganesh> shifty5: yes..only firefox
[07:56] <simplexio> xSlack: read what i said to shifty5,
[07:56] <shifty5> ganesh, then go into the view menu
[07:56] <ganesh> crdlb:yes its full screen
[07:57] <crdlb> gldtn: especially when I'm looking at a /lastlog :)
[07:57] <shifty5> ganesh, i don't see a titlebar option in there, so i dunno
[07:57] <ubuntistas> does anybody know how can i delete user data from boxee?
[07:57] <ubuntistas> ~/.boxee/UserData
[07:57] <crdlb> ganesh: ok, run this in a terminal: gconftool-2 -s /apps/compiz/plugins/workarounds/allscreens/options/legacy_fullscreen -s false -t bool
[07:57] <crdlb> the problem you're seeing is an overzealous workaround feature in compiz
[07:58] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Say I setup a VBoxed Ubuntu server, how would I talk to it fro my master windows machine?
[07:59] <atm0sph> ZeRo_FeniX_: you could ssh to the internal ip?
[07:59] <prince_jammys> ubuntistas: either browse to it in your file manager (set it to "show hidden files"), or with the rm command
[07:59] <atm0sph> ZeRo_FeniX_: or vncx
[07:59] <atm0sph> -x
[07:59] <ubuntistas> with rm? explain
[07:59] <Flannel> !away > Album|Awy
[07:59] <prince_jammys> ubuntistas: rm  removes files
[07:59] <ganesh>  crdlb:ya it worked..
[07:59] <ubuntistas> how can i remove it?
[08:00] <Diehardy> is this the PS3 room?
[08:00] <dash84> ...
[08:00] <prince_jammys> ubuntistas: i just told you
[08:00] <Diehardy> Well, is it?
[08:00] <prince_jammys> "show hidden files
[08:00] <JesseW> I must be missing something: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-doc/+bug/310331/ -- this bug looks very troubling...
[08:00] <ubuntistas> where is that?
[08:00] <Flannel> Diehardy: Try #ubuntu-ps3
[08:00] <Diehardy> thanx
[08:00] <xSlack> simplexio: -rw-r--r--  1 root    root       1 2009-02-27 01:50 access.log
[08:01] <ZeRo_FeniX_> I guess what I was asking is how can I view it from my windows machine, say I setup and index.html or index.php file. How would I direct my windows machine to that file on the VBoxed distro?
[08:01] <Album> i ehave an away message??
[08:01] <prince_jammys> ubuntistas: your file manager should have a setting to "show hidden files". that will show files and directories that start with a dot
[08:01] <xSlack> simplexio: nvm got it
[08:01] <Album> thot it was just a nick change...
[08:01] <ubuntistas> where is the file manager iam a newbie
[08:01] <d4n1el> malang
[08:02] <zeltak> quit
[08:02] <prince_jammys> ubuntistas: the app that you use to look at your files and home dir. "nautilus"
[08:02] <crdlb> Album: yes, he was referring to the nick change; this is a very busy channel
[08:02] <Album> so busy you cant change your nick? thats retarded
[08:03] <d4n1el> rtedgt
[08:03] <simplexio> xSlack: chmod a+rw acces.log, note, anyone can remove file after that, or modify it. but hey it solves problem
[08:03] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Any ideas?
[08:04] <ubuntistas> i have a boxee log file how can i delete it?
[08:04] <JesseW> Does anyone know what happened to support for dial-up users in 8.10?
[08:04] <ubuntistas> with rm
[08:04] <gldtn> spike_, I got http://amadme.deviantart.com/art/T3K-103862094 to get rid of the message which also uses pixmap, but my title bar still doesn't look the same as his screenshot.. must need something else installed
[08:04] <prince_jammys> ubuntistas: man rm
[08:04] <suigeneris> alsa crashed some time between yesterday and today. can i find out what the problem is?
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: you would need to bridge the connection so the vbox appears as an extra system on your lan
[08:04] <gldtn> spike_, but the others still give me the error
[08:04]  * prince_jammys is fed up of people who want to use the command line but can't read docs
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: you can then simply access it as if you had an extra physical pc
[08:05] <prince_jammys> you want to do it with rm? man rm
[08:05] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Alright
[08:05]  * JesseW is too, but would like to have some meta-docs to point them to...
[08:05] <ZeRo_FeniX_> I'll try that.
[08:05] <spike_> gldtn: = / so nobody knows how to fix this problem
[08:06] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Do you have any idea
[08:06] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Do you have any idea what settings I want to change?
[08:06] <atm0sph> why would you need to change any settings?
[08:06] <atm0sph> just make sure sshd is installed
[08:06] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Attach to: Not Attached, NAT, Host Interface, or Internal Network.
[08:06] <spike_> gldtn: The theme is nice = ) do you use emerald ?
[08:07] <atm0sph> try NAT
[08:07] <ubuntistas> how can i delete my boxee account oes anybody know?
[08:07] <ZeRo_FeniX_> NAT was what I had it on so that it was merged with my computer
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: ive only done it in vmware aaages ago for a chuckle, i dont know how in vbox
[08:07] <gimmepatience> What are you using to run your VBOX?
[08:07] <simplexio> ZeRo_FeniX_: NAT if you want acces to internat with that virtual one
[08:07] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Windows Vista
[08:07] <gimmepatience> use bridge mode... not NAT.
[08:07] <ZeRo_FeniX_> I want it to get a DHCP connection from my router if at all possible
[08:08] <gimmepatience> Bridge mode.
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> simplexio: he wants to be able to access the vbox like a true VM (emulating an extra pc) via lan
[08:08] <gimmepatience> I am using VMware
[08:08] <atm0sph> *shrug*
[08:08] <ZeRo_FeniX_> I'll just try them all I guess.
[08:08] <atm0sph> doesn't vmware give you an internal IP address for the virtual machine?
[08:08] <ubuntistas> prince_jammys do u have any idea how can i delete my boxee account'?
[08:08] <ubuntistas> is anybody here using boxee?
[08:08] <JesseW> ubuntistas: Isn't there a boxee channel for such questions?
[08:09] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Not sure, I'm using VBox because I liked it better than VMWare
[08:09] <gldtn> spike_, unfortunately not.. like I said I msged the creater of the theme, lets see if I get lucky and get an answer.. do you have msn?
[08:09] <gimmepatience> yes it does... depending on configuration
[08:09] <crdlb> gldtn: what's the problem?
[08:09] <suigeneris> alsa crashed some time between yesterday and today. (how) can i find out what the problem is?
[08:09] <onetwo> momentul
[08:09] <prince_jammys> ubuntistas: mv ~/.boxee/UserData ~/boxeebackup
[08:09] <onetwo> momentul : linux
[08:09] <gimmepatience> I use bridge configuration... and my DHCP router gives me an ip adress
[08:09] <JesseW> suigeneris: What do the logs say?
[08:09] <ubuntistas> i mean from the site
[08:09] <ubuntistas> jammys_prince
[08:10] <prince_jammys> ubuntistas: and if that doesn't work, move it back
[08:10] <onetwo> momentul
[08:10] <ZeRo_FeniX_> I'm not sure what bridge mod is called on VBox, Not attached doesn't seem to be working.
[08:10] <gldtn> crdlb; I keep on getting an error where it says under appearance; "This theme will not show as intended because the GTK theme " is not installed"
[08:10] <onetwo> momentul
[08:10] <spike_> gldtn: Yes I have
[08:10] <prince_jammys> ubuntistas: you mentioned that file, i don't know if that is the correct way.
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: read system logs, if you rebooted then dmesg wont say anything but if yo usimply restarted x you can read through
[08:10] <gimmepatience> What is your ip adress of your Vista machine?
[08:10] <ZeRo_FeniX_> It's stuck booting up at "Configuring network interfaces..."
[08:10] <onetwo> datelor
[08:10] <ZeRo_FeniX_> <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:10] <onetwo> datelor
[08:10] <gimmepatience> ok, and what IP does your VBOX get?
[08:11] <Hekta> Hi guys
[08:11] <onetwo> momentul
[08:11] <ZeRo_FeniX_> It's not getting one as far as I can tell.
[08:11] <onetwo> momentul
[08:11] <gimmepatience> ok, then I would suggest you take a look at you manual for VBOX.
[08:11] <crdlb> gldtn: looks like you need clearlooks, murrine, and aurora
[08:11] <gldtn> crdlb; the last one I installed I was able to get rid of the message but the title bar is not the same as show by the creator of the theme.. the title bar changes color but not the layout/looks of it.. it still appear as the title bar from human/clearlooks theme
[08:11] <onetwo> momentul
[08:12] <crdlb> gldtn: ah, there's no included metacity theme; you need to use emerald instead with that .emerald theme
[08:12] <ZeRo_FeniX_> I'm just going through the network settings until I get something that has my DHCP give the VBox an ip.
[08:12] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip, what could be the keyword to grep?
[08:12] <gldtn> crdlb, seems like I have all.. what the command so I can see the ones installed
[08:12] <gimmepatience> you could try using satatci in the meant time.
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> gimmepatience: vbox systems use a 10.0.x.x IP address
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> !grep
[08:12] <gimmepatience> set your VBOX ip to <IP_ADDRESS>, and use the same gatweay your vista machine uses
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: how do you mean?
[08:12] <gldtn> crdlb; so I need to install the gtk2 and use emerald?
[08:13] <Hekta> I'm having trouble setting up a PXE server
[08:13] <gldtn> crdlb, or just emerald on it's own?
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> !pxe
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> !find pxe
[08:13] <ZeRo_FeniX_> What's the command to set my ip, I'm not entirely familiar with unix command lines yet.
[08:13] <DigitalKiwi> I thought ubuntu wants to get rid of terminal 0.0
[08:13] <ubuntistas> how can i delete boxee account from the site?
[08:13] <crdlb> gldtn: sounds like you've already handled the gtk part, so you need to install emerald and use that as your decorator (which means you also need to be using compiz)
[08:13] <gldtn> crdlb, also does emerald rely on compiz fusion or can it be run alone?
[08:13] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Ah, I found the setting that has DHCP give it an ip
[08:13] <gldtn> uhum..
[08:13] <ZeRo_FeniX_> so I'll mess with this.
[08:13] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip, how am I going to find it?
[08:13] <crdlb> gldtn: the theme creator  really ought to include a metacity theme since he's not doing anything too fancy with the emerald theme anyway
[08:13] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Working sweet
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: are you using a 100% command line based system?
[08:13] <gldtn> spike_, that might be our issue
[08:14] <ZeRo_FeniX_> I'm using the ubuntu-server-i386
[08:14] <spike_> gldtn: maybe
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: find what? You dont have to find grep, you just use it, its in your path
[08:14] <Ravenor> I deleted my swap partition, and replaced it with another one in a different location. I changed my fstab, and swapon -s lists the partition. However, hibernation doesn't work anymore. The computer begins to hibernate, but when I start the computer up again, its a full boot process instead of a resume. Any clues?
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[08:15] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Like I said, I'm not very familiar with unix yet I'm just playing around with it on vbox for fun and trying to setup a web server to test my php scrips on without actually buing a server for now.
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: edit that file and you can configure ip addressing
[08:16] <spike_> gldtn: I have emerald but it doesn't work too for me ...

[08:16] <programan> how would i enable these 'options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1' its a bug fix fer my sound
[08:16] <joost> hello
[08:16] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip, what's EISA?
[08:16] <gimmepatience> lol Zero_fenix
[08:16] <joost> a program
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: in vbox you need to set your ip to <IP_ADDRESS>, netmask <IP_ADDRESS>, default gateway as your routers ip address, add to /etc/resolv.conf    nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:16] <D_likescookies> Gmorning. anyone knows of any software to do voice recognition for linux?
[08:17] <gldtn> spike_.. I believe, from what I remember you need to tell compiz to use emerald as a decorator under compiz icon
[08:17] <gldtn> spike_.. I'm installing it now
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Industry_Standard_Architecture maybe
[08:17] <suigeneris> programan, put that in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[08:17] <ZeRo_FeniX_> So I can view my VBox server now on my host machine because I changed the network to host interface.
[08:17] <spike_> gldtn: k tell me if it works
[08:17] <crdlb> gldtn: the easiest way is to use ccsm and put it in Window Decoration > Command
[08:17] <gimmepatience> Or you can VBOX a windows XP system, install Apache, PHP and MYSQL on it to test PHP scripts
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> D_likescookies: do you mean for dictation or system voice control?
[08:18] <programan> Thanks Sui!
[08:18] <D_likescookies> both if possible ActionParsnip, but system control mainly.
[08:18] <suigeneris> programan, oh, don't forget to restart
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> D_likescookies: apt-cache search gnome voice control
[08:18] <suigeneris> and no problem
[08:19] <programan> Yeah... :)
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> !info gnome-voice-control
[08:19] <D_likescookies> awsome! =) thank you.
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> D_likescookies: apt-cache is awesome
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> D_likescookies: lets you search for stuff, you can even grep the output
[08:20] <gldtn> crdlb, you lost me..
[08:20] <latrell> hello
[08:20] <latrell> anyone in to answer a quick question?
[08:20] <D_likescookies> I'm kinda new, I'm still learning commands at this point.
[08:20] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Plenty of people
[08:20] <latrell> ok
[08:20] <Surlent777> latrell, maybe
[08:20] <latrell> just installed, it (1st time newbie = me)
[08:20] <D_likescookies> but I made a note for that one.
[08:20] <D_likescookies> =)
[08:20] <latrell> a question with the program
[08:21] <latrell> gparted (to partition stuff)
[08:21] <latrell> can u resize a partition ?
[08:21] <Surlent777> theoretically, I think
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> D_likescookies: its cool, i just find it quicker than synaptic which takes forever
[08:21] <latrell> like....which is .....being used
[08:21] <latrell> so say, ive installed ubunto on a partition (only 1 phsyical disk)
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> !resize | latrell
[08:21] <ZeRo_FeniX_> How can I get acquainted with the nix file structure for a webserver?
[08:21] <crdlb> gldtn: oops, I guess that was more for spike_
[08:21] <D_likescookies> make sense if you're in a hurry.
[08:21] <latrell> wondering if u can resize it...
[08:21] <D_likescookies> makes*
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> latrell: you can resize, make sure you run a backup if the data is important incase something goes wrong
[08:22] <latrell> nah thats cool, nothing important
[08:22] <latrell> just only thing...i cant highlight and resize...
[08:22] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip, can't find anything related to alsa in dmesg
[08:22] <latrell> does it have to be done command line based?
[08:22] <simplexio> latrell: probably yes, but i dont recommend to even try resize live partition, attleast without backups
[08:22] <spike_> gldtn, crdlb: I change the command line in compiz, I need to restart, I be back
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: you wont, except alsa modules being loaded in
[08:23] <latrell> can it be done through some sort of program and not command line?
[08:23] <latrell> just the gparted program ..the option is not highlighted
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: i thought you said you had a system crash
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> latrell: gksudo gparted
[08:23] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip, no, just an alsa crash
[08:23] <latrell> ok
[08:23] <latrell> ill search for that now one sec mate
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> latrell: you'll need to do it from livecd so the partitions arent mounted
[08:24] <matamou> hi, anyone know where to get Acer 7720Z laptop wireless drivers, im bored of this network cable ^^
[08:24] <matamou> oh, forgot to add the ?
[08:24] <latrell> yeap i have that installed
[08:24] <latrell> oh ok
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> matamou: run lspci
[08:24] <latrell> thats a good idea
[08:24] <latrell> ill try that now
[08:24] <matamou> how?
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> matamou: that will tell you the wireless chip
[08:24] <latrell> (its a totally dif computer) ill let u know how it goes
[08:24] <ZeRo_FeniX_> How can I browse the file system of my server through command lines?
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> matamou: its a terminal command
[08:24] <matamou> ok, thanks :)
[08:25] <ziroday> ZeRo_FeniX_: err ls ?
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: use 'cd' to enter folders.  'cd ..'   to go up a folder. and 'ls' to list contents
[08:26] <spike_> gldtn: Emerald works !
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> matamou: once you know the wireless chip (i'llbet money its a broadcom with it being an acer) you can look into how to get it installed
[08:26] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Ah, getting the hang of it
[08:26] <ianm_> any ideas why usb-creator exits with "Install failed: Unable to determine the partition number." --- it detected the CD and usb stick correctly
[08:26] <ZeRo_FeniX_> What's the point of 'cd'?

What DEB program packages do I have to install in order to make these items appear?
[08:27] <matamou> ok, google it is... thanks again, I used a lot of time finding the solution to this, and got it in 30sec in irc. heh
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: same commands as MSDOS in those situations excpept its cd .. and ot cd.. (note the space)
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> matamou: its what you know that counts
[08:28] <akventure> checking for BIO_new in -lcrypto... no
[08:28] <akventure> configure: error: Could not find libcrypto. Try --disable-openssl

[08:28] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Alright, now I've figured out where my online files are (/var/www/...) Now how do I set it up so that I can connect to it via FTP?
[08:29] <simplexio> akventure: hoe about sudo apt-get install libcrypto++-dev  ??
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588
[08:29] <armedking> Is there any way to Add a new Ubuntu user and at the same time make a Ftp user from it with the same Username and Password?
[08:30] <akventure> will try
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> armedking: if you run an ftp server, all users by default can log into ftp on the server they are on (if it runs one)
[08:30] <chiguy> try what ?
[08:30] <ZeRo_FeniX_> TY, you're just repository of information :)
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> armedking: and the default is to chroot them to their home dir on logon
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: learning every day
[08:31] <armedking> ActionParsnip: Yes that was my next point i have to make sure they are chrooted to ~
[08:31] <ZeRo_FeniX_> What's the nix equivalent to the dos 'ipconfig' ?
[08:31] <lstarnes> ZeRo_FeniX_: ifconfig
[08:31] <armedking> ActionParsnip: but that i can figure out. Thanks for the heads up m8
[08:32] <akventure> chiguy... see simplexio comment
[08:32] <ZeRo_FeniX_> "-bash: ipconfig: command not found"
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> armedking: np man, see the link I gave to ZeRo_FeniX_ above, creating the new user isnt needed for you in your case
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: ifconfig
[08:32] <jigp> hello guys where to locate the pidgin icon? what folder?
[08:32] <gldtn> spike_, it does work.. but it still gives a problem.. but from some reading I did it can be ignored
[08:32] <armedking> ActionParsnip: Cheers m8
[08:32] <gldtn> thanks crdlb
[08:33] <ZeRo_FeniX_> ActionParsnip: "-bash: ipconfig: command not found"
[08:33] <jigp> where to locate the icons of the softwares like mozilla firefox , pidgin , gimp , notepad++
[08:33] <n2diy> ZeRo_FeniX_, good, try ifconfig
[08:34] <ZeRo_FeniX_> oh lol
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> jigp: /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin-menu.xpm maybe
[08:34] <ZeRo_FeniX_> helps to read

[08:42] <kop> crdlb, kinda fingered that but it is dual head

[08:43] <dayo_> what would you say is the recommended minimum free space for an 8.04 installation?
[08:43] <SandGorgon> hi guys... i was trying out a program to send a UDP message to localhost at port 5005 - wireshark reports ICMP  as Destination Port unreachable (also a message on UDP_CHECKSUM_INCORRECT) - any ideas on this ?
[08:43] <dayo_> or rather, what is  the *ideal* free space for an 8.04 installation?
[08:44] <crdlb> kop: the proper way is to just use twinview (ideally, you'd use XRandR 1.2, but nvidia only supports 1.1, which has no multimonitor capabilities)
[08:44] <defrysk> dayo_, 10 gigs should do fine
[08:44] <n2diy> dayo_, 5 gig
[08:44] <_DEL> it will work on a 8 Gb hd, dayo_
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> dayo_: I'd say about 5%
[08:44] <Jari--> hi, anyone tried out the GNOME Pictures Folder screensaver? where does it pick up the images from ?? it's showing blank here
[08:45] <Jari--> I have tried ~/Pictures ~/Desktop/Pictures ... no luck
[08:45] <crdlb> kop: it's a bit confusing because XRandR 1.2 and twinview both provide the Xinerama extension to let applications know where the physical monitors are in the full X screen (which contains both), but this is not the same as the Xinerama you enable in xorg.conf
[08:45] <kop> crdlb, which brings us back to the original problem no gui or cmd line control of screen res atm
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> Jari--: check te config for the screensaver. you may be able to make it a custom folder
[08:45] <dayo_> defrysk, n2diy, _DEL, ActionParsnip: thanks! :o)
[08:46] <Jari--> ActionParsnip: I have the config file, and it has no option for this
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> Jari--: i dont use gnome so i can only mak intelligent guesses
[08:47] <Jari--> ActionParsnip: does KDE have screensaver for this? slideshow?
[08:47] <_DEL> i prefer fluxbox environment

[08:48] <ActionParsnip> Jari--: i think so, i dont use screensavers. i turn off my monitor. but yes i think it does
[08:48] <crdlb> kop: pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> _DEL +1 fluxbox
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> Jari--: i think its one of the default screensavers in the xscreensavers package
[08:50] <_DEL> my only prob, have a hard time remembering my terminal commands for all that i do, so many and brain has so little free space left
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> Jari--: try: apt-cache search screen | grep -i saver
[08:50] <horchata> is the amd64 image appropriate for a core i7 system?
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> _DEL: just make scripts, no need to remember then :)
[08:51] <_DEL> true that ActionParsnip
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> horchata: if its a 64it chip then yes its fine
[08:51] <crdlb> horchata: if you want 64bit, then yes
[08:52] <lk_> 谢谢
[08:52] <kop> crdlb, http://paste.ubuntu.com/123701/
[08:52] <crdlb> kop: ok, you're using Xinerama, and you don't want to be
[08:53] <kop> got that much
[08:53] <Jari--> ActionParsnip: I have like 300 screensavers installed and none of those can make a simple slideshow work ;D
[08:53] <kop> option twinview and try again ?
[08:53] <crdlb> kop: in ServerLayout, remove the Screen 1 line and the Xinerama line
[08:53] <DigitalKiwi> each time jari speaks he lowers in level?
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> Jari--: maybe someone else can help, or try later. different users on the channel an stuff
[08:54] <DigitalKiwi> just imagine if he was jari++
[08:54] <DigitalKiwi> eventually he would be OVER 9000!
[08:54] <crdlb> kop: you could additionally remove all the duplicate Screen/Device/Monitor sections, but that's not necessary since they'll no longer be referenced by ServerLayout

[08:55] <prince_jammys> Jari--: are the images huge files?
[08:55] <crdlb> kop: twinview (and XRandR 1.2) use a single X screen, just like hacky Xinerama used to accomplish
[08:57] <_DEL> !test
[08:58] <Jari--> prince_jammys: regular jpegs
[08:58] <Jari--> also, the plasma screensaver shows up a blank screen, but all of the opengl ones work OK
[08:58] <prince_jammys> Jari--: i'm surprised you can't get a simple slide show
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> haha !test is classic

[09:02] <lunixo> question: why topics are typically technical?

[09:04] <matamou> would it be smart to remove Vista from gparted? or what would be the best choice for this?
[09:04] <Dykam> Need some help to get my wifi-dongle right. Atm, it does work using ndiswrapper, but only when outplugged during initial boot and plugged in when the ubuntu loading screen appears. Too late or too early and a reboot is needed to get wifi to work. Any idea to get it fixed? Ndiswrapper does report error's when pluggin the adaptor to late.
[09:05] <Jari--> prince_jammys: oops, it seems that I have two versions of xscreensaver installed
[09:05] <kop> crdlb, now that the second monitor isn't there now ...
[09:05] <ActionParsnip2> Dykam: can you boot to recover root console with it in?
[09:05] <Dykam> What do you mean? btw, I'm currently in ubuntu with wifi
[09:06] <africaman> where can i locate this codes
[09:06] <jigp> hello guys what is the best dock for ubuntu 8.04 gnome desktop?awn won't work to me
[09:06] <bazhang> africaman, using the package manager
[09:06] <crdlb> kop: now run nvidia-settings
[09:07] <ActionParsnip2> Dykam: reboot and press esc when grub shows up, select recovery mode and drop to root console (all with dongle in) you can then read dmesg. You may want to see if there is a bug report relating to the wifi chip you are using
[09:07] <milda[UG]> hi, i trying to start IRC bouncer on my PC, i started it, but i can not connect BNC with my IRC client. It's working only with ip <IP_ADDRESS>, but no with my local network IP 192.168.*.* or public IP .. can i fix it on my pc ? how ?
[09:07] <ActionParsnip2> Dykam: you could also try adding some bootoptions to disable acpi which may make it friendlier
[09:07] <africaman> i have just installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly and it kind but it still do not work
[09:07] <Dykam> why/what
[09:08] <defrysk> gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad also installed africaman ?
[09:08] <lk_> some advices for learning linux
[09:08] <ActionParsnip2> Dykam: reboot, press esc to show grub menu, select recover mode for your current kernel, then select root console. type dmesg | less and use cursors to read up and down the log to see what is going on
[09:08] <sleepy_cat> lk_: what linux platform u wanna learn
[09:08] <bazhang> !rute | lk_
[09:09] <ActionParsnip2> Dykam: have the usb thing in all the time
[09:09] <Dykam> ok
[09:09] <Dykam> ActionParsnip2, is dmesg not logged/
[09:09] <ActionParsnip2> Dykam: dmesg IS the log
[09:09] <Dykam> because I can't reboot now, I've some downloads running
[09:09] <africaman> yes
[09:09] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html lk_
[09:09] <defrysk> log the log
[09:09] <africaman> it has
[09:09] <Dykam> ActionParsnip2, I know, but why reboot... it must be somewhere in the log already
[09:09] <ActionParsnip2> Dykam: you dont haveto do it immediately, jeez
[09:09] <defrysk> africaman, what are you trying to play /
[09:09] <defrysk> ?
[09:09] <Dykam> sorry, ActionParsnip2, you sounded like it...
[09:10] <ActionParsnip2> Dykam: well you could also check that too, just for useful info
[09:10] <africaman> defrysk>yes
[09:10] <ActionParsnip2> Dykam: its a computer, yu could tunr it off, go on holiday for 20 years and come back. It doesnt matter
[09:10] <kop> crdlb, ok that's a first , it didn't segfault , now where to save EDID data ?
[09:10] <africaman> my sound will not just come or sound
[09:10] <Dykam> I know ActionParsnip2 :P I'm not stupid, I just yhought you where planning to help me at this moment :P
[09:10] <ActionParsnip2> Dykam: if you can have it in during a full boot to root console then you can read dmes there too
[09:11] <defrysk> africaman, doubleclick your soundicon in the panel and see if all slides are open and unmuted
[09:11] <ActionParsnip2> Dykam: if the dmesg looks ok then start looking into extra kernel options
[09:11] <fizzmahon> does anyone have their own website and can spare to help a fellah for 10 mins?
[09:11] <white95> How do you open a .conf file in tex mode in the console to use sudo
[09:11] <_DEL> know f any good tutorials for fast track? the ones on the sight aint helping too much
[09:11] <ActionParsnip2> !ot | fizzmahon
[09:11] <seriouslycgi> weird -  this is the first time ive had to change my xorg.conf on OZOS (to set up dual monitors) and the xorg.conf contains very little yet the screen is configured, its an e17 distro(dont know if that makes a difference) i just dont want to edit xorg if there is another file to edit instead )
[09:11] <kop> fizzmahon, what up ?
[09:12] <Dykam> ActionParsnip2, dmesg does show errors when repluggin the wifi dongle. nevermind, I'll ask againif I've the appropiate logs
[09:12] <c_nick> who wanted to learn linux here
[09:12] <africaman> when i doubleclick it this is erro that show No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.
[09:12] <crdlb> kop: erm, not sure, but it should let you configure multihead
[09:12] <crdlb> nvidia isn't really my cup of tea
[09:12] <neil_d> white95: do you mean "gksudo gedit <file> &"
[09:12] <defrysk> africaman, that is weird
[09:12] <africaman> yes
[09:12] <bobsd> hello there
[09:12] <ActionParsnip2> Dykam: you need to try and get to read it if it crashes, the sshd may start before the dongle is addressed so yu may be able to ssh in to check dmesg
[09:12] <defrysk> africaman, did you have sound before ?
[09:12] <c_nick> can u tell me which linux distribution u wanna learn..maybe i could guide u better..
[09:13] <africaman> yes
[09:13] <white95> neil_d:  thanks i have to sticky that one always use it
[09:13] <africaman> all the time
[09:13] <Dykam> ssh in?
[09:13] <defrysk> africaman, did you use packages from other distros , or mix repositories ?
[09:13] <ActionParsnip2> Dykam: yes, use ssh to get a remote console so you can access the system, as long as the server is running you can access it
[09:14] <africaman> i install some addons for vmbox yesterday and today my sound will not come
[09:14] <Dykam> ActionParsnip2, I don't have a second pc available... and absolute no experience with ssh
[09:14] <_DEL> africaman probably needs drivers
[09:14] <ActionParsnip2> Dykam: hmm, not so good
[09:14] <defrysk> africaman, i dont know much about vmbox, but maybe it has something to do with it, but its beyond my capabilities, sorry
[09:15] <africaman> thanks any way
[09:15] <sh1> im unable to see my panel when i open a mozilla browser
[09:15] <ziroday> sh1: try press F11 twice
[09:15] <ActionParsnip2> africaman: make sure you have installed the guest additions and that sound is enabled in the vbox's settings
[09:15] <defrysk> africaman, maybe _DEL can help you out
[09:15] <sh1> ziroday: i have not enabled mozilla in full screen mode
[09:16] <africaman> del> can u help me
[09:16] <africaman> DEL>can u pls help
[09:16] <defrysk> africaman, did you read ActionParsnip' s response ?
[09:16] <africaman> yes
[09:16] <defrysk> good
[09:16] <africaman>  i am on it
[09:16] <dayo_> how do i upgrade one package?
[09:16] <ziroday> sh1: okay, try hold alt and left click to move the window down
[09:16] <bohemian> anyone has a script that can be simply ran to shutdown the system with root access?
[09:16] <ziroday> dayo_: open update manager deselect every pacakge besides that one and update
[09:16] <doc``> ok my speakers (usb-ones) are fucked up
[09:16] <_DEL> im not good with it, but i seem to always have probs like that, ussually turns out to be drivers africaman
[09:16] <Pontif_La_Rouge> I could really use some one on one help
[09:16] <sh1> ziroday: surprisingly it worked
[09:17] <seriouslycgi> my onboard graphics isnt showing in lspci what else can i do to find it?
[09:17] <doc``> they find them sometimes but sometims not
[09:17] <dayo_> ziroday: on the server. not the desktop
[09:17] <ziroday> sh1: great to hear it
[09:17] <sh1> the full screen checkbox us unchecked
[09:17] <defrysk> dayo_, sudo apt-get upgrade <package>
[09:17] <sh1> i dont know how it worked
[09:17] <ziroday> dayo_: sudo aptitude upgrade <packagename> should work
[09:17] <ActionParsnip2> africaman: if you dont have vbox guest additions you dont get much in the way of virtual hardware
[09:17] <Pontif_La_Rouge> has anyone had experience with HP Pavilion TX2000 to run ubuntu?
[09:17] <sh1> ziroday: can you elaborate on the command?
[09:18] <ziroday> sh1: sorry, not quite following you :). What can I do for you?
[09:18] <ActionParsnip2> Pontif_La_Rouge: what piece of hardware is rtroubling you?
[09:18] <dayo_> defrysk, ziroday: ok, i'll try that on my desktop first to see if it works
[09:18] <Pontif_La_Rouge> Ahhh ActionParsnip, I left kubuntu and went for ubuntu, got my wifi working straight off
[09:18] <africaman> i installed the gust additions last 9t
[09:18] <ActionParsnip2> Pontif_La_Rouge: cool
[09:18] <Pontif_La_Rouge> ha
[09:18] <Pontif_La_Rouge> but everything else is giving me trouble
[09:19] <ActionParsnip2> Pontif_La_Rouge: like what?
[09:19] <bohemian> ActionParsnip2: >	anyone has a script that can be simply ran to shutdown the system with root access?
[09:19] <sh1> ziroday: can you tell me why F11 need to be pressed twice. and everytime i open mozilla. i need to press F11 twice to see the panel
[09:19] <Pontif_La_Rouge> the touchscreen, getting the screen to rotate
[09:19] <defrysk> dayo_, if its a downloaded package sudo dpkg -i /path/to/package
[09:19] <Daft_Punk>  is there a way to have the icon text (for the icons on desktop) to be readable on light AND dark backgrounds? (like in windows)
[09:19] <ActionParsnip2> bohemian: sudo shutdown -h now
[09:19] <ziroday> sh1: ah right with you, because for some reason firefox has decided to open up in full screen mode by default. You can try delete/move your profile and see if that fixes it
[09:19] <ActionParsnip2> Pontif_La_Rouge: i'd websearch the model name with ubuntu on the end, ive never setup touchscreen
[09:20] <Pontif_La_Rouge> and also if there's a way to shut off the annoying beep sound everytime I hit backspace too much or what have you would be fantastic
[09:20] <Roxy> I had a quick question, I am trying to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy but the upgrade keeps failing and apparently the prerequists-sources.list file has the original archive location listed and I don't know what to change it to.
[09:20] <ActionParsnip2> Pontif_La_Rouge: blacklist the pcspkr module and sudo rmmod it
[09:20] <sh1> ziroday: if full screen profile is enabled View->FullScreen check box must be checked. however in my case it is unchecked
[09:20] <africaman> actionparsnip2> i have not install any os yet and i ust added the guest addition and some addons vmbox
[09:20] <Cycom> Pontif_La_Rouge: blacklist is in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[09:21] <bohemian> ActionParsnip2: thanks, but how do i create a script that other user can simply run and i can embed the sudo password.. by the way i use sudo poweroff, how do they differ with shutdown -h
[09:21] <ziroday> sh1: as I said, I have no idea why it does it. If you want a permanent fix then you can try deleting/moving your firefox profile.
[09:21] <sh1> ah
[09:21] <sh1> aye, thank you
[09:21] <shruggar> every now and then, the window list on my panel just stops showing any new windows. removing the window list from the panel and re-adding it doesn't help, though restarting X seems to. Any ideas?
[09:22] <shruggar> the "window selector" menu does seem to show all the windows
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> bohemian: you'd have to make the shutdown command not need sudo which is a risky game
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> africaman: how can you install guest additions if you dont have an OS installed on the vbox?
[09:23] <defrysk> shruggar, you mean of the same desktop, of from all desktops ?
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> bohemian: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=670302
[09:24] <shruggar> defrysk, I'm not using multiple desktops
[09:24] <shruggar> defrysk, and I have tried turning on multiple desktops and switching between, last time this happened. no difference
[09:24] <bohemian> ActionParsnip thanks for the reminder but i'm using Userful Multiplier program that creadtes mulseats in ubuntu but it can't shutdown with normal unless you excute command in terminal
[09:25] <defrysk> shruggar, you can check the prefs of your window list
[09:25] <_DEL> join #fasttrack
[09:25] <defrysk> shruggar, its possible window grouping has been turned on
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> bohemian: if you check that link, it links to a gentoo page which will allow you to put users in a shutdown group, then give the shutdown group admin access over the shutdown command
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> bohemian: this will allow you huge control
[09:26] <bohemian> ActionParsnip yes reading now thanks
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> bohemian: np
[09:27] <Roxy> I had a quick question, I am trying to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy but the upgrade keeps failing and apparently the prerequists-sources.list file has the original archive location listed and I don't know what to change it to. <--- Oh and I can't locate a suitable fix so the system will use old-release instead of archive.
[09:27] <constantine> best book for learning ubuntu, any suggestions?
[09:27] <Pontif_La_Rouge> so what if I put in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and it says permission denied
[09:27] <shruggar> defrysk, actually.. I don't remember this happening before, but selecting "show windows from all workspaces" shows everything
[09:27] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html constantine or ubuntu kung fu
[09:27] <defrysk> shruggar, maybe you have more desktops running without knowing it ?
[09:28] <corinth> Anyone know the terminal command to have Elisa do a complete rescan of my collection?
[09:28] <kop> crdlb, this too has it's down side ...
[09:28] <constantine> bazhang thanks I'll check it otu
[09:28] <constantine> out
[09:28] <shruggar> defrysk, is "desktop" the same as "workspace"? Everything is currently visible in front of me, it's only on the window list that it's not showing them
[09:29] <kop> crdlb, maximizing a window REALLY maximizes it
[09:29] <defrysk> desktop is not same as workspace
[09:29] <n2diy> I've munged my testbox with Sbackup. Synaptic thinks my apps are installed, but they aren't in the menus, and when I try to run them from the cli, apt-get reports they aren't installed!? Ideas?
[09:29] <akventure> I'm having a real problem getting ZNC to properly install on Ubuntu 8.04
[09:29] <akventure> http://imagebin.org/39475
[09:29] <Pontif_La_Rouge> I'm really enjoying ubuntu, but I hate the feeling that everytime I enter something in terminal and it doesn't work that I'm screwing stuff up badly
[09:29] <defrysk> shruggar, workspace is the deskop you actually see
[09:30] <shruggar> defrysk, where do I configure multiple desktops, then?
[09:30] <crdlb> shruggar: are you sure your window manager isn't dying?
[09:30] <n2diy> Pontif_La_Rouge, as long as you aren't using sudo, you aren't screwing anything up.
[09:30] <crdlb> kop: mhh, that shouldn't happen as long as both monitors are enabled when X starts
[09:30] <defrysk> shruggar, add a workspace switcher to your panel
[09:30] <matamou> hi, so how do I remove that crappy Vista from my hard drive using Ubuntu? If i try something myself ill screw up this whole computer!
[09:30] <crdlb> kop: XRandR 1.2 doesn't have that limitation, but of course nvidia hasn't added support yet, still
[09:31] <Pontif_La_Rouge> crdlb, you workingo n getting screen rotation working?
[09:31] <defrysk> shruggar, and set it to the amount of workspaces you wish
[09:31] <crdlb> kop: also, you can statically enable twinview in your xorg.conf, but I have _absolutely_ no idea how that's done
[09:31] <Pontif_La_Rouge> or are you just discussing
[09:31] <shruggar> crdlb, new windows still get decorated, can be moved, clicked on, raised, etc, those are all functions of a window manager, right?
[09:31] <crdlb> shruggar: yeah
[09:31] <defrysk> shruggar, and it is the same , sorry
[09:31] <kop> crdlb, I'll find it , some day
[09:31] <crdlb> shruggar: which window manager are you using? it looks like that taskbar stops working without a WM, so maybe the WM is breaking in some respect
[09:32] <akventure> mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/include/znc': Permission denied
[09:32] <akventure> make: *** [install] Error 1
[09:32] <kop> crdlb, it's this or deal with ATI or MAtrox or ...

[09:32] <chilli0> Hey all, Does anyone know how to bridge ubuntu wireless with xbox360? so the xbox360 doesn't need an adapter (P.S i dont have a xbox 360 yet i might get one if i can do this)
[09:32] <crdlb> Pontif_La_Rouge: just trying to help kop setup twinview
[09:32] <Pontif_La_Rouge> have any advice on setting up window rotation?
[09:32] <kop> crdlb, Thank You
[09:32] <shruggar> defrysk, I've had a workspace switcher on the whole time, though I've set "number of workspaces" to 1 (I've got two monitors and one workspace here at work, while at home I have one monitor and two workspaces, so having the switcher turned on lines things visually the way I'm used to seeing it)
[09:33] <shruggar> crdlb, I'm using whatever the default is. I tried using compiz for a while, but my video card at work can't handle it at a decent resolution, so I think I'm back to the default now
[09:33] <n2diy> Does Ubuntu/Linux have a decent Flight Simulator now?
[09:33] <dishwasherjoe> I have a disk I want mounting at start-up, how would I go about doing this?
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> !ics | chilli0
[09:33] <shruggar> crdlb, (ubuntu 8.04)
[09:34] <crdlb> shruggar: hmm, it's _extremely_ unlikely that metacity would break like that (which is what you'd have with visual effects on None)
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> !info flightgear | n2diy
[09:34] <chilli0> Thanks actionParsnip
