[07:08] <fwaokda> im trying to get ubuntu installed on my flash drive... i've got the regular disk and it gets stuck after the loading screen. I have the alternate disk but i've just found out after 2 hrs it doesn't let me run it from the disk. how can i get ubuntu on my flash drive???
[07:08] <plattypus1> maddash, still no DRI love.
[07:08] <Dark> like i said...i didnt configure dhcp, etc...it was pretty much plug and play..same with my other ubuntu box
[07:09] <bazhang> pendrivelinux.com fwaokda
[07:09] <maddash> plattypus1: maybe I should have asked for the log first...
[07:09] <rubydiamond> plattypus1, nickrud  thanks it worked :)
[07:09] <fwaokda> bazhang: went there and followed the steps but as i said the cd hangs at a black screen so im unable to do those steps
[07:09] <plattypus1> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48992 has it.
[07:09] <_nix_> Dark: right there.. maybe the dhcp autoconfig is b0rked in this new release.. you might as well go manuall for that one
[07:10] <Zorro-Zorro> hello, can i get alsa 1.0.15 drivers (precompiled)? where?
[07:10] <plattypus1> maddash, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48992
[07:10] <dORSY> gouki: try to select all the content under the page...then cut/paste it ...
[07:10] <Dark> crap
[07:10] <Dark> lol
[07:10] <plattypus1> rubydiamond, glad to help. :)
[07:10] <mindedc> anyone know if 6.06 LTS stock kernel is compiled with CONFIG_LBD for large filesystem support on 32bit platforms?
[07:10] <_nix_> Dark: :-)
[07:10] <gouki> dORSY: Yep. The page has no more content left. Still, I'm not able to delete it
[07:10] <Dark> thats odd though...its the exact same release as this box
[07:10] <dORSY> don't delete...cut everything after it...then paste it a page upper...
[07:11] <gouki> dORSY: nop :S
[07:11] <_nix_> Dark: oh.. you're invited to investigate upon that here.. welcome aboard
[07:12] <Dark> thanks
[07:12] <backgen> hey guys it's me again...so after installing compiz...now the top bits of my windows have dissapeared again...and when i type in compiz --replace....it doesn't do anything...does anyone have any suggestions?
[07:12] <dORSY> gouki: and if you have space after the last paragraph..it will begin a new page..try to reduce the space after the last paragraph
[07:12] <MyOriginalAlias> lol okay can anyone tell me howto install screenlets I cant find the package name using apt-cache
[07:12] <Dark> could it be because i have 2 interfaces on my motherborard
[07:12] <Dark> board*

[07:12] <_nix_> Dark: not quite a possibility... dhcp was designed to work out of the box.
[07:13] <Dark> thats what i thought....hmmm
[07:13] <MyOriginalAlias> Grandslammaster: that was for me?
[07:13] <_nix_> Dark: regardless of any or all interfaces the broadcast came from..
[07:13] <maddash> plattypus1: this is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ca/824959 sigue el modelo.
[07:13] <astro76> !screenlets | MyOriginalAlias
[07:13] <ubotu> MyOriginalAlias: Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/
[07:13] <gouki> dORSY: Also tried that. I finished at the middle of the 2nd page, however, the 3rd page was created and there is no way of getting it out of there
[07:14] <plattypus1> maddash, you just assume that I speak spanish eh? :P
[07:14] <vb> can I add a computer icon on my AWN?
[07:14] <maddash> plattypus1: mostly pay attention to "Mode         0666,"  "Option DRI true" etc.
[07:14] <backgen> does anyone know how i can get the top panes of my windows back?
[07:14] <dORSY> gouki: open anew doc...copy everything into it...
[07:14] <MyOriginalAlias> astro76: So your answer is there is no package in apt it HAS to be built manually, thats the only way to install it
[07:14] <Ganjaman23> i want my buttons back
[07:14] <Grandslammaster> no i wanted to know those urls i am having a problem geting youtube to work
[07:15] <_nix_> Dark: you may want to check out the man pages for ifconfig and route if you can get it..
[07:15] <astro76> MyOriginalAlias, not my answer, but I have also deduced that from ubotu's response
[07:15] <mindedc> I ask about CONFIG_LBD because I tried to create a 2Tb RAID 5 with XFS and while copying a few files to the new volume XFS took a dirt nap...
[07:15] <maddash> backgen: again? `x-window-manager --replace`
[07:15] <maddash> ?
[07:15] <MyOriginalAlias> astro76: well I tried building and got an error
[07:15] <Dark> looking now...i might try reseting my router to see if it will assign a IP address
[07:15] <ere4si> Grandslammaster, there is a plugin for firefox for that
[07:16] <dORSY> gouki: worked?
[07:16] <Grandslammaster> yea it dosent work
[07:16] <astro76> MyOriginalAlias, it just says: Install as usual by extracting the contents of the screenlet's archive to the directory "$HOME/.screenlets".
[07:16] <theTrav> hello.  I got a free iPod shuffle from work today.  Anyone know if there's a iTunes alternative that I can use on ubuntu?
[07:16] <astro76> MyOriginalAlias, http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Category:UserScreenlets
[07:16] <theTrav> that will be able to connect to the ipod I should say
[07:16] <_nix_> Dark: a quick pill would be like: sudo ifconfig eth0 <internal-ip> up netmask <IP_ADDRESS> broadcast <router-ip.last octec to 255> && sudo route add default gw <router-ip>
[07:16] <backgen> maddash: haha yes unfortunatly...ok let me try it...but then is this going to happen every time i run compiz?
[07:16] <gouki> dORSY: Can't. The document has some sort of weird protection and it scrambles everything with I try to copy-paste anything. ... this ain't easy.
[07:16] <mindedc> I didn't know if I hit a bug or if 6.06 doesn't have large filesystem support...
[07:16] <MyOriginalAlias> maybe if I install !Beryl first, anyone know the package name for Beryl?
[07:17] <plattypus1> theTrav, I'll tell you if you tell me what kind of office gives out free iPods. :)
[07:17] <backgen> maddash: oh wait if my window manager is compiz are you suggesting that i type in compiz --replace? because i've done that and it doesn't work
[07:17] <Grandslammaster> i think if you go to synaptic you can just type in ipod
[07:17] <_nix_> Dark: and lastly editing the file /etc/resolv.conf for a nameserver.. usually the router's ip goes there as well
[07:17] <theTrav> heh, ok, I got it from ANZ, the bank that I was working on my last project for
[07:17] <plattypus1> theTrav, gtkpod works well as a standalone application, and rhythmbox has good support IIRC.
[07:17] <maddash> backgen: no, verbatim
[07:17] <theTrav> they contracted us to do a fix job.  They were happy with the work
[07:17] <ere4si> Grandslammaster, the shockwave plugin here - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:7
[07:17] <Dark> cool...thanks
[07:17] <dORSY> gouki: :o sorry i have no other guesses
[07:17] <astro76> !beryl | MyOriginalAlias
[07:17] <earlmred> man, i need a real raid5 card.
[07:17] <ubotu> MyOriginalAlias: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.  New Beryl installs are discouraged.  :S
[07:18] <theTrav> hmm, I have another thing.  I've set up my ubuntu desktop with smb sharing, however whenever my winxp client (notebook) tries to connect to it it is prompted for password and doesn't accept any
[07:18] <_nix_> Dark: glad if that helps.. :-)
[07:18] <backgen> maddash: neither metacity --replace nor compiz --replace works
[07:18] <earlmred> i'm only downloading at 1.8MB/s to the array, and my load averages are 1.5/1.6/1.5
[07:18] <fwaokda> if my laptop hangs after the loading screen(ie. blahblahblah.....    [OK]; stuff) of the ubuntu 7.10 live cd how can i get by this so i can install 7.10 on my usb drive???
[07:19] <mindedc> earlmred: my performance was actually decent w/ 3 1tb drives untill it borked itself :)
[07:19] <maddash> backgen: your current problem is the same as the last one, right?
[07:19] <my816797> Hello
[07:19] <earlmred> mindedc, i've got 4 500GB drives
[07:20] <MyOriginalAlias> astro76: interesting the readme that came in the tar.gz says to just to extract to any directory and type ¨make install¨
[07:20] <mindedc> earlmred: Oh, yeah, software RAID with IDE sucks ass for CPU ...
[07:20] <backgen> maddash: yes except this time i'm running compiz instead of metacity
[07:20] <earlmred> mindedc, it's sata2
[07:20] <Grandslammaster> ere4si: thanks
[07:20] <ere4si> Grandslammaster,  it works?
[07:20] <Geoffrey2> ok, I think I'm going to slap myself now
[07:20] <backgen> maddash: and now my Terminal is wierd, when i enter commands it doesn't do anything
[07:20] <Grandslammaster> yea
[07:20] <mindedc> earlmred: so you have 1.5 tb usable?
[07:20] <ere4si> k
[07:20] <maddash> backgen: good question. I know nothing about compiz.
[07:20] <my816797> Does anyone know if it's possible to change the Ubuntu Install CD a bit, to install Ubuntu from the CD with some default files in the /root/ folder?
[07:21] <earlmred> mindedc, yep ... /dev/md0               1.6T    17G   1.5T   2% /home
[07:21] <Geoffrey2> there's an application that allows Windows to read ext2 drives, right?
[07:21] <backgen> maddash: ok well how about when Terminal messes up and i don't have the usual line (loginname)@(computername):~$...just blank space and no commands work
[07:21] <dORSY> geofery2: total commander with plugin
[07:21] <astro76> MyOriginalAlias, sorry I've never used it myself, try asking in #compiz-fusion if no one knows here ;)
[07:21] <dORSY> geoffery2: total commander with plugin
[07:21] <maddash> Geoffrey2: ext2ifs
[07:21] <^root^> my816797, try Ubuntu Cd Customization on google
[07:22] <maddash> Geoffrey2: google 'windows ext2,' there's a freeware driver floating around
[07:22] <^root^> my816797, Ubuntu Install CD Customization
[07:22] <earlmred> mindedc, i'm running reiser on the array though, maybe that has something to do with it.
[07:22] <mindedc> earlmred: I'm SATA also, have 3 WD 1Tb drives..
[07:22] <my816797> thanks
[07:22] <xLE> how can i change the permissions on a file so it's not root only and i can copy files into it
[07:22] <my816797> I'll give it a try (been searching for hours :P)
[07:22] <mindedc> earlmred: /dev/md2              1.9T   52G  1.8T   3% /localmedia
[07:22] <astro76> xLE, you generally don't want to do that, but rather use sudo to copy files to the location
[07:22] <maddash> backgen: so you have nothing running besides a terminal?
[07:23] <^root^> my816797, i can give you exact links but you will have to wait
[07:23] <maddash> backgen: if so, ctrl+alt+bkspc
[07:23] <earlmred> mindedc, what filesystem are you using?
[07:23] <backgen> maddash: only firefox
[07:23] <dORSY> xLE: chmod 777 to a folder or chown user:group folder
[07:23] <Geoffrey2> maddash, thanks...that's the solution then...the computer is set up to dual boot, Windows and Ubuntu...so, rather than download another linux O/S, just boot up Windows, then read the file on the ext2 drive...
[07:23] <backgen> maddash: ok so should i shut down firefox and do that?
[07:23] <xLE> astro76, i created my own command for coping files.
[07:23] <MyOriginalAlias> Does anyone know how I can install beryl?
[07:23] <mindedc> earlmred: XFS... got this gem when it blew up
[07:23] <xLE> astro76, and i get sudo: command: command not found
[07:23] <mindedc> earlmred: xfs_force_shutdown(md2,0x8) called from line 1031 of file fs/xfs/xfs_trans.c.  Return address = 0xd0a7043e
[07:23] <maddash> Geoffrey2: it does reiserfs and ext3 too
[07:23] <maddash> backgen: sure, but I don't know if that will help
[07:24] <earlmred> mindedc, lol, nice ...
[07:24] <mindedc> earlmred: Filesystem "md2": Corruption of in-memory data detected.  Shutting down filesystem: md2
[07:24] <backgen> maddash: ok i'll give it a whirl
[07:24] <ere4si> my816797, try this - http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-linux-mint-livecd-with-remastersys

[07:34] <quaff> maddash: so rebuild kernel time? thanks :)
[07:34] <mindedc> earlmred: had good luck with it....
[07:34] <earlmred> mindedc, you could just throw ext2 up on it, probably be faster.
[07:34] <tijn> !fglrx
[07:34] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:34] <r3n0c> earlmred,  ok well it appears to work now
[07:34] <earlmred> mindedc, you don't really need journaling on a raid5 anyways.
[07:34] <mindedc> earlmred: I have blown a journal on ext3 before so I am weary of that...
[07:34] <_nix_> mindedc: lucky you man.. nice..
[07:34] <r3n0c> earlmred,  but i'm not sure why.... after i added the respisorities i didn't update anything
[07:34] <earlmred> r3n0c, apt-get update
[07:34] <mindedc> _nix_: thx... wife hasn't seen the visa bill yet :)
[07:35] <r3n0c> earlmred,  some of the respositories fail
[07:35] <_nix_> lol
[07:35] <earlmred> r3n0c, you're probably missing some keys.
[07:35] <xLE> how do i search for a file? find -name /dir/dir/ "file*" ?
[07:35] <littlebear72> ooooohhh _nix_
[07:35] <r3n0c> earlmred,  yea, you have the ones for compiz, i uninstalled that
[07:35] <mindedc> earlmred: I may try that to see if it's an XFS problem or a kernel problem...
[07:35] <MyOriginalAlias> Does anyone know if any of the repositories have a package for screenlets?
[07:35] <ere4si> xLE, try locate (filename)
[07:35] <earlmred> mindedc, or just install freebsd and be done with it.
[07:35] <r3n0c> earlmred,  thats aite tho, aslong as i can do javac i'm happy, trying to grade projects is so hard with eclipse
[07:35] <Geoffrey2> ext2ifs says it needs an x86 processor, does that preclude AMD processors then?
[07:36] <xLE> ah ty
[07:36] <ere4si> k
[07:36] <earlmred> r3n0c, boo on eclipse :)
[07:36] <_nix_> littlebear72: omg.. what is that supposed to mean.. what are you doing?? ;-)
[07:36] <earlmred> r3n0c, javac + vim ftw.
[07:36] <mindedc> earlmred: I read some stuff that indicated there were some bad performance problems with the software raid 5 in freebsd...
[07:36] <oldspice> when im partitioning my harddrive when using the live cd, is it normal for me to only make one more partition? "/". I can't create anymore after that such as /swap or /home.
[07:36] <littlebear72> your not tellign yoru wife about that card _nix_ lol
[07:36] <communized> root@administrator-desktop:~# apt-get install -f
[07:36] <communized> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[07:36] <earlmred> mindedc, well, you could try solaris x86.
[07:36] <earlmred> mindedc, with zfs
[07:36] <communized> root@administrator-desktop:~# dpkg --configure -a
[07:36] <communized> root@administrator-desktop:~#
[07:36] <communized> did nothing
[07:37] <mindedc> earlmred: I used to have hardware raid5 on some megaraid, but scsi disks are too expensive.
[07:37] <earlmred> communized, you hit ctrl c in the middle of an install didn't you
[07:37] <mindedc> earlmred: HA!
[07:37] <maddash> Geoffrey2: yes. drivers are very sensitive to the architecture they're run on. you could try installing it, though.
[07:37] <communized> earlmred
[07:37] <communized> the install takes me to a configure screen
[07:37] <ere4si> oldspice, try making them logical partitions
[07:37] <mindedc> earlmredslowlaris would probably work
[07:37] <communized> which i can not do anything to finish it
[07:37] <communized> or get past
[07:37] <_nix_> littlebear72: urm.. I don't have a wife.. thanks for the compliment though. :-)
[07:37] <communized> im doing sun
[07:37] <communized> java6-jre
[07:37] <earlmred> mindedc, i have friends running zfs who are real happy with it.
[07:38] <mindedc> earlmred: I couls also hook them up to my sparc 20 2x 50mhz :)
[07:38] <communized> guysh, i fixed.
[07:38] <communized> ty ];
[07:38] <earlmred> but my only complaint with ubuntu is it replaying the journal on boot.
[07:38] <earlmred> mindedc, i don't think you're getting solaris 10 on that ;)
[07:38] <Geoffrey2> ok, guess I need to keep looking then
[07:38] <mindedc> earlmred: is that ubuntu only or does rhel have the same issue?
[07:38] <Xbehave> i cant use CF f none of my keybindings work, how can i get it to recognise windows + key combos?
[07:38] <mindedc> earlmred: actually, openBSD is 10x faster than solaris on that machine....
[07:38] <backgen> anyone know how i can uninstall and reinstall compiz?
[07:38] <earlmred> mindedc, i'm not sure, but i saw some lists on the reiser dev lists talking about how distros were implementing it wrong.
[07:39] <littlebear72> lol my bad i got that bit wrong lol [18:34;48] <mindedc> _nix_: thx... wife hasn't seen the visa bill yet :) was supposed to be mindedc
[07:39] <earlmred> mindedc, then netbsd would be 100x faster.
[07:39] <maddash> Geoffrey2: http://www.planetamd64.com/lofiversion/index.php?t11561.html
[07:39] <mindedc> earlmred: and no bitching from Theo :)
[07:39] <earlmred> mindedc, are you running mdadm --status?
[07:39] <earlmred> i'm trying to figure out how to get it to email me when a drive borks.
[07:40] <ere4si> Geoffrey2, amd is x86
[07:40] <ere4si> like intel
[07:40] <earlmred> mindedc, heh it took me a full DAY to build the array and format completely
[07:40] <maddash> ere4si: amd64 is not.
[07:40] <mindedc> earlmred: not right now, I used to cat /proc/mdstat and had a cron job diff it against the current and email me if anything changed...
[07:40] <DragonSpirit> What can cause windows to come up with just blackness in them when you have visual effects toggled on
[07:40] <mindedc> earlmred: I had 3 raid 1 volumes in that config...
[07:40] <ere4si> maddash: yep
[07:41] <maddash> Geoffrey2: er, you're not running 64-bit, ar eyou?
[07:41] <jxxt> Geoffrey2, unless it is amd64
[07:41] <maddash> Geoffrey2: if you're living on plain old 32-bit AMD, then ext2ifs is fine...like ere4si said, x86 is a subset of amd
[07:41] <mindedc> earlmred: christ, tell me about it... the WD drives I have are 5400 RPM, which is good for noise (can't hear the server when its on)
[07:41] <ScorpFromHell> is there anything that allows you to setup a netboot server that would copy disk images instead of using preseed files to setup systems?
[07:41] <earlmred> mindedc, gross =)
[07:41] <mindedc> earlmred: but building the raid took a solid day..
[07:42] <earlmred> mindedc, i've got 4xseagate 7200.10s in the array, and then a 7200.11 boot
[07:42] <earlmred> mindedc, although thinking about it now, i should probably move /home off of the array, and onto the boot drive.
[07:42] <mindedc> earlmred: the two 160s are 7200.12s I think... good drives.. I have some WD800s that I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire...
[07:43] <mindedc> earlmred: I have /boot on a 256 meg CF card in a CF to IDE adapter and / is on the two 160s in RAID 1
[07:44] <earlmred> mindedc, i've got 4 250GB drives sitting here, with a hardware raid card ... but my power supply will only spin up 3 of them =\
[07:44] <earlmred> mindedc, so i guess i need to get a bigger psu =\
[07:44] <JC_Denton_> Do I need to restart svn somehow for the svn server to start accepting connections:?
[07:44] <sorrydaijin> can anyone point be in the right direction for how to increase the max  volume in ubuntu. I can barely hear it when its maxed out atm. (I have already tried this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto)
[07:44] <mindedc> earlmred: That sucks :) or hotwire two PSUs together :)
[07:44] <earlmred> mindedc, 650W, 8800GTS 640MB, AMD 6400+, 4GB RAM, 5 hard drives ...
[07:45] <earlmred> mindedc, guess it couldn't take another 4 drives =\
[07:45] <mindedc> earlmred: crap... I have 650 watt PSU in my server box... mbd doesn't need that much juice...
[07:45] <ivanwillig> sorrydaijin: there is a tool called Alas Mixer, i had the same issue on my macbook
[07:45] <earlmred> mindedc, between the athlon and the graphics card, heh.
[07:46] <earlmred> mindedc, and i'm going to be dropping in an 8600GT to power another 20" monitor, and my hdtv.
[07:46] <DragonSpirit> Anyone else had windows come up black with visual effects turned on, the borders are still on the window, just the inside part is black, I don't mind it without the effects, I was just wondering why it does it occasionally
[07:46] <earlmred> mindedc, 8800 is to push my 30" and a single 20"
[07:46] <staykovmarin> hi i have a question in using photorec. is there a way to put the output on a different partition?
[07:46] <mindedc> earlmred: yeah really... I almost bought a dual xeon from ebay but I don't the the 12v rail in the psu would handle the load...
[07:46] <mindedc> earlmred: sweet setup... you need some industrial cooling for that rig  :)
[07:47] <earlmred> mindedc, i used to run a dual 1.6 xeon ... o/c'd to 3GHz each.
[07:47] <ivanwillig> sorrydaijin: that package name is alsa-utils, try that
[07:47] <earlmred> mindedc, tuniq tower on the psu, single 120 in the back.
[07:47] <ere4si> sorrydaijin, is the slider for pcm at full as well?
[07:47] <Pie-rate> i'm looking for a cheap pci sound card with optical spdif that'll work with linux, preferably work out of the box with ubuntu, can anyone help?
[07:47] <earlmred> mindedc, keeps the apartment toasty.
[07:47] <darryn> hi im rly new to ubuntu and im not sure wats going on but i think its not starting up rite
[07:47] <unimatrix9> hello all
[07:48] <unimatrix9> how can i disable the keyring question on startup?
[07:48] <earlmred> this is sad, i've got a 15Mbit connection, and i'm wanting more.
[07:48] <mindedc> earlmred: haha.. I have that server, my 3.6ghz pentium D system and a G5 mac in my 12x12 office... stays toasty...
[07:48] <mindedc> earlmred: used to be extra toasty when I had the glass monitors (2x Mitsu DP1000 21" boat anchors)
[07:49] <darryn> i get the normal loading screen and then it goes to a screen thats says      * starting anac(h)rinustuc cron anacron                                [ ok ]
[07:49] <darryn> neone kno wat i do there?
[07:49] <unimatrix9> can i disable the keyring manager from turning on on startup?
[07:49] <earlmred> mindedc, i /had/ a poweredge 6400 w/ quad p2 500s ... unfortunately when i moved, i didn't have enough room for it
[07:49] <earlmred> mindedc, thing weighed 100 pounds and had 3 PSUs.
[07:50] <mindedc> earlmred: I know what you mean... I had a customer throwing away some HP rack servers with 10 36 gig drives, dual PIII cpus etc...
[07:50] <plattypus1> maddash, thanks for your help, I got the thing cobbled together. Was a problem with the kernel module.
[07:50] <earlmred> mindedc, now i'm mad, cuz i could really use that box.
[07:50] <maddash> plattypus1: :O how? tell me.
[07:50] <mindedc> earlmred: good machines but I don't have the space and the noise from my rigs was driving me crazy...
[07:51] <darryn> does neone kno wat im talking bout?
[07:51] <earlmred> mindedc, i'm thinking about rigging a rack up in one of my closets, i've got this big walk in, no power in there though ...
[07:51] <mindedc> earlmred: you just need a raised floor area in your aptment
[07:51] <plattypus1> maddash, there's a simlink that needs to be made from /lib/modules/(kernel)/misc to /lib/modules/kernel/volatile and that simlink wasn't there.
[07:51] <filemonkey> Hey guys, I'm having trouble with the x-server on ubuntu.
[07:52] <ere4si> darryn: what happens after the anacron job runs?
[07:52] <mindedc> earlmred: I had a whole bakers rack full of gear at one point with some routers and gig switches etc.. two HP storage arrays and a quad proc ALR PPro.....
[07:52] <darryn> i get deferred execution and periodic command schduler than batter state and than it says running local boot scripts
[07:52] <maddash> plattypus1: smart.
[07:52] <darryn> than stoos
[07:52] <filemonkey> It keeps telling me that the screens aren't configured correctly. Any way to fix this?
[07:52] <darryn> stops
[07:52] <earlmred> mindedc, haha raised floor.
[07:52] <mindedc> earlmred: I ran out of space last time I moved...
[07:52] <earlmred> mindedc, pick up some used tiling from a decommissioned datacenter.
[07:53] <plattypus1> maddash, took some looking 'round, plus I had to grab a google-cached copy of a howto referred to by somebody else... Ugh...
[07:53] <mindedc> earlmred: The customer that was throwing the servers out actually moved their floor tiles to their new datacenter instead of buying new ones...
[07:53] <ere4si> darryn: have you turned of the graphical login?
[07:53] <earlmred> mindedc,   nohup mdadm --monitor --mail=sysadmin --delay=300 /dev/md0 &
[07:53] <mindedc> earlmred: cheap bastards...
[07:53] <Neronious> i accidentally put a space in a file name i can only access on a command line; what would be the proper command line text to remove this file?
[07:53] <darryn> im not even sure where i would have done tht
[07:54] <earlmred> Neronious, put the filename in quotes.
[07:54] <Neronious> earlmred: thanks
[07:54] <mindedc> earlmred: badass... will note that one... if I can get my array stable...
[07:54] <plattypus1> Neronious, put a \ before the space, eg file\ name
[07:54] <Neronious> thanks
[07:54] <earlmred> mindedc, i'd post your error to the xfs dev list
[07:55] <earlmred> mindedc,  nohup mdadm --monitor --mail=sysadmin --delay=300 /dev/md0 &
[07:55] <earlmred> grr
[07:55] <earlmred> mindedc, http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/
[07:55] <mindedc> earlmred: are you on the mailing list? is there a good place for me to monitor that? I'm willing to provide debugging output etc...
[07:55] <mindedc> earlmred: oh, cool
[07:55] <yrlnry> Is there a program that will unpack an "ACE" format archive file?
[07:56] <yrlnry> Searching in synaptic for "ace" turns up too many false positives to be useful.
[07:56] <mindedc> yrlnry: yeah, I think it's unace...
[07:56] <yrlnry> Thanks.
[07:56] <ere4si> darryn: at the grub menu highlight the kernal you want to boot and press e - scroll down to the line that says "kernel" and press e - then type a space and then type    quiet splash   - hit enter then b for boot
[07:56] <earlmred> yrlnry, apt-get install unace
[07:57] <mindedc> yrlnry: the only time I have seen it referred to is where people are doing AV filtering and want to get EVERYTHING
[07:57] <darryn> um wats the grub menu
[07:57] <yrlnry> mindedc: Sorry, I can't understand that.
[07:57] <earlmred> yrlnry, sudo apt-get install unace
[07:58] <yrlnry> mindedc: was it meant for me?
[07:58] <yrlnry> earlmred: thanks.
[07:58] <ere4si> darryn: that is what you see if you have two OS's or kernels - you might just need to press e
[07:58] <mindedc> yrlnry: yeah, I was indicating that the only time I see people looking for CLI ACE extraction is for use in antivirus filtering for email
[07:59] <ere4si> darryn: after the bios screen
[07:59] <yrlnry> Oh, I didn't figure out what "AV" stood for.  I thought audio-video.
[07:59] <mindedc> yrlnry: specifically where the av filter need to unpack all the binaries and run scanning on it....
[07:59] <yrlnry> Sure, it makes sense now.
[07:59] <mindedc> yrlnry: oh... :)
[07:59] <morphles> i cant get compiz to accept <alt>Button3 for resize option what can be the problem? libwnck?
[07:59] <yrlnry> No, I actually have an ACE archive, and I don't want to boot windows just to unpack it.
[07:59] <yrlnry> I've done that twice today.
[07:59] <mindedc> yrlnry: feel your pain...
[08:00] <darryn> i found the grub menu
[08:00] <ere4si> k
[08:01] <morphles> nor i can unset window menu combo completly - to set ir None
[08:02] <darryn> it already says quiet splash at the end
[08:02] <yrlnry> Bah, unace only works on ACE v1 files.  I need unace-nonfree.
[08:02] <darryn> so do i type it again or jus skip that
[08:02] <mindedc> earlmred: bug 765 on bugzilla at SGI looks promising..
[08:03] <ere4si> darryn: just reboot - do you get a login prompt at all - last line where it hangs says "login'?
[08:03] <earlmred> mindedc, link?
[08:03] <darryn> no
[08:03] <mindedc> earlmred:http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=765
[08:03] <Geoffrey2> does ubuntu not make a backup of the menu.lst file when it updates it?
[08:03] <ere4si> darryn: there will be one - is it a few lines up?
[08:04] <darryn> nope
[08:04] <fwaokda> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/    <<---- at that site i've gotten to step 17 but it says "cp: target '/media/ubuntu710/' is not a directory: No such file or directory"  Can someone help meez :( ???
[08:05] <earlmred> mindedc, dirty transaction.
[08:05] <ere4si> darryn: can you boot using the rescue kernel option - do you know the root password?
[08:05] <mindedc> earlmred: bad news on a journaling filesystem
[08:06] <Dark> argh...still having issues with getting on the net...can anyone help please
[08:06] <darryn> ummm u lost me
[08:06] <earlmred> mindedc, what kernel and version of xfs are you running?
[08:06] <bulmer> Dark-> what do you have? elaborate on your network setup
[08:06] <mindedc> earlmred: uname -a: Linux leviathan 2.6.15-26-server
[08:07] <ere4si> darryn: when you boot there is the grub menu - one option is rescue kernel - but you need the root password to do repairs
[08:07] <earlmred> mindedc, i'd almost compile from kernel.org source ...
[08:07] <earlmred> mindedc, make sure you're getting the latest xfs and such
[08:07] <Dark> i just installed 7.10 on my other box, and the internet, etc works fine with the live cd, but no dice after install...my setup is computer--router/switch---cable modem
[08:07] <mindedc> earlmred: was looking, I can't tell what version of XFS is in use..
[08:07] <darryn> i jus dl it from the site so unless its a password i put on during installation i don kno it
[08:07] <Dark> note...i currently have 7.10 on this box, and no issues with the net...
[08:07] <balleyne> Dark: are you getting an IP address from the router?
[08:08] <balleyne> does anyone know how I can tell network manager to NOT automatically connect to a wireless network that I've connected to before?
[08:08] <Dark> my router sees my new box, but i am not getting an IP address from it
[08:08] <balleyne> Dark: sudo dhclient - that may help, it requests an IP from the command line
[08:08] <Dark> i can see the MAC address of my computer in my router..so I know layer 2 seems to be working
[08:08] <ere4si> darryn: did you md5 the disk before install to hard drive
[08:08] <bulmer> balleyne-> modify /etc/network/interfaces and remove line with essid
[08:09] <darryn> md5?
[08:09] <Dark> already tried it...doesnt work
[08:09] <ere4si> darryn: and did you burn the disk at a slow speed?
[08:09] <david__> any one have web server runing here
[08:09] <bulmer> Dark-> you tried  dhclient eth0   assuming your nic is eth0
[08:09] <mindedc> earlmred: ok, will try that. Thanks for all the help... good luck on paying your utility bills :)
[08:09] <darryn>  ya i burned at the slowest speed i could
[08:09] <ere4si> !md5
[08:09] <ubotu> To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[08:09] <Dark> it tries to get an address on port 67, but nothing
[08:09] <friedtofu> help on forcing 96 DPI in X or GDM login screen?
[08:09] <balleyne> bulmer: I don't have any essids in that file...
[08:09] <darryn> ya wats md5
[08:10] <Dark> and finally ends with "no working leases in persistent database - sleeping"
[08:10] <ere4si> !md5 | darryn
[08:10] <ubotu> darryn: please see above
[08:10] <poppy75> I have an ssh server and some network shares setup on my desktop. i want to leave it on all the time but i dont want to waste that much power. i consider WoL but my desktop only has connection via wireless. what options do i have to make the shares and server available and save as much power as possible?
[08:10] <Dark> yup
[08:10] <ere4si> darryn: what speed did you burn the disk at?
[08:10] <bulmer> balleyne thats where essid settings is kept
[08:10] <darryn> 1x
[08:10] <ere4si> k
[08:11] <Dark> and yes, the the interface i am using is eth0
[08:11] <friedtofu> anyone know how to force 96 DPI in gnome login screen or X? :/
[08:11] <Dark> i also have a eth1, but i get the same issues with that as well
[08:11] <bulmer> Dark-> try ifdown eth0; ifup eth0
[08:11] <bulmer> as root
[08:11] <ere4si> darryn: md5 is the way to check the disk before you install to makke sure it is ok - have you got to the desktop ever?
[08:12] <Dark> it says that its not configured
[08:12] <darryn> o i checkd the disk out
[08:12] <darryn> it said it was intact and fine
[08:12] <t-Omicr0n> poppy75: wireless network cards almost never support wake-on-lan, the best solution I can think of is to connect your desktop with a lan cable
[08:12] <bulmer> Dark-> if you want to respond to me, pls prefix your responses with my nick or ill miss it
[08:13] <Dark> when i try the "ifup', it says "ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0
[08:13] <ere4si> darryn: how?
[08:13] <Dark> bulmer will do
[08:13] <morphles> if i try to instal flash-nonfree i get md5sum mismatch and plugin not installed, what do i do to correct this?
[08:13] <^root^> hi! from where can i get a nice ftp client as gftp crashes every now and then
[08:13] <darryn> on the main menu when u first boot from cd
[08:13] <ere4si> k
[08:13] <bulmer> Dark-> you have to activate your interface from network manager
[08:14] <Dark> bulmer i have tried that
[08:14] <darryn> i also have a cd that i orderd in the mail that did the same thing
[08:14] <poppy75> t-Omicr0n, its impossible to connect to LAN, since my cable modem/router is in an odd spot in another room
[08:14] <wasabi_> hey, is there a repo with evolution 2.21.1 or greater?
[08:14] <bulmer> Dark-> but what is the result?
[08:14] <darryn> loaded up and then gave me the lines with [ ok ] at the end
[08:15] <Dark> bulmer right now my interfaces are in "roaming" mode just like this box
[08:15] <Dark> bulmer nothing...still no connection
[08:15] <Dark> bulmer unless i am doing it wrong
[08:15] <bulmer> Dark-> umm you seem to forget what i asked earlier, elaborate on your network setup..i didnt know you're using wifi
[08:15] <andrew[andrboot]> ok dumb question :) lol... got a bluetooth phone conn / adapter on laptop all "connected" any idea how i am able to use it as a modem( the phone) as i did with the usb cable? (its a nokia N73) :)
[08:16] <morphles> anybode, some help with flash plugin?
[08:16] <Dark> bulmer i'm not using wifi..this is a wired connection going to a router/switch then to my cable modem
[08:16] <MyOriginalAlias> Will someone please help me find a ubuntu package for screenlets? I tried converting the rpm with slien but it didnt work
[08:16] <t-Omicr0n> poppy75: I see, then you could buy a wifi card that does support Wol (search google - realtek for example)  or some wireless-to-wired bridge (search google, I don't know if this even exists)
[08:16] <Dark> bulmer my network set up is fine, as this box works, and the box in question works with the live CD
[08:16] <MyOriginalAlias> alien*
[08:16] <bulmer> Dark-> wired connections doesnt have roaming stuff
[08:16] <andrew[andrboot]> @ MyOriginalAlias there is quite anumber of faq's on google.. i stll might have my deb around somewhere
[08:17] <wasabi_> anyone? do you know any repo with evolution 2.21.1 or greater?
[08:17] <balleyne> bulmer: in /etc/network/interfaces is just says "auto wlan0", no essids - thoughts? nm-applet will connect me only to wireless networks I've been connected to in the past, but I want to manually change that...
[08:17] <Dark> bulmer it does on this box
[08:17] <poppy75> ok ill check into that. so is there no way to reduce power consumption with just ubuntu running?
[08:17] <bulmer> Dark->  then pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces
[08:17] <MyOriginalAlias> andrew[andrboot]: did you make it with alien?
[08:17] <Dark> bulmer k, one se
[08:17] <andrew[andrboot]> not sure.. i cannot find it lol

[08:18] <Dark> bulmer "iface lo inet loopback"

[08:18] <t-Omicr0n> morph
[08:18] <t-Omicr0n> morphles: also install macromedia flash plugin
[08:18] <davidthedrake> ?
[08:18] <bulmer> Dark-> is that all? your interfaces are not configured then..
[08:18] <darryn> no idea ere4si?
[08:19] <andrew[andrboot]> @ MyOriginalAlias screenlets should be in apt-get
[08:19] <andrew[andrboot]> :)
[08:19] <t-Omicr0n> morphles: correction: it's enough to *only* install Macromedia flash plugin
[08:19] <andrew[andrboot]> sudo apt-get install screenelts
[08:19] <Dark> bulmer thats it
[08:19] <andrew[andrboot]> *screenlets
[08:19] <t-Omicr0n> morphles: one last thing, you need to enable all repositories in the "Add/remove software" tool by clicking "Preferences" (bottom left)
[08:19] <ere4si> darryn: reading for the command to start gdm from boot
[08:19] <xLE> how do i search for a file? find -name /dir/dir/ "file*" ? (dont want to use locate)
[08:20] <Dark> bulmer well, thats what this box has....the exact same thing, and it works great
[08:20] <Geoffrey2> folks, does anyone know if the grub settings are backed up anywhere when a kernel update is installed?
[08:20] <MyOriginalAlias> andrew[andrboot]: lol that ws the first thing I tried is it in a restricted repo?
[08:20] <balleyne> bulmer: when I try to connect to my wireless network and it fails (signal is weak), it goes on and attempts to connect to the neighbour's, often successfully, because I've connected to that network in the past. It won't try to connect to any wireless networks that I haven't connected to in the past though (ie. only the one neighbour). Same thing happens at my office with a public wifi connection. It seems to be a
[08:20] <andrew[andrboot]> @ MyOriginalAlias lemme check
[08:20] <Dark> bulmer i cant understand why it would work with the live cd, but not when ubuntu is installed
[08:20] <andrew[andrboot]> po
[08:20] <andrew[andrboot]> possibly.
[08:20] <andrew[andrboot]> @ MyOriginalAlias gusty or fiesty?
[08:21] <onLy_sWeeTy_gaLs> hiiii
[08:21] <bulmer> Dark->  your interfaces are not configured then..you need to either copy the setting when in liveCd
[08:21] <MyOriginalAlias> 7.10
[08:21] <kakoonia> hey, how can i configure my sound system? i want to reconfigure it to the default setup.
[08:21] <Dark> bulmer how can i do that
[08:22] <ere4si> darryn: has the system ever booted into ubuntu?
[08:22] <bulmer> balleyne-> well to make it attempt to only connect on yours, then you need to set that essid on that file i mentioned
[08:22] <Cyber_Stalker> how do i change a drive out of read only?!readonly
[08:22] <andrew[andrboot]> @ MyOriginalAlias i assume you have compiz-fusion operational?
[08:22] <darryn> no never
[08:22] <Cyber_Stalker> how do i change a drive out of read only? !readonly
[08:22] <MyOriginalAlias> andrew[andrboot]: 7.10, E: Package screenlets has no installation candidate
[08:22] <Cyber_Stalker> !readonly
[08:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about readonly - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:22] <kakoonia> !sound
[08:22] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[08:22] <Dark> bulmer i just poped in the live cd...what folder is it under, and where do i copy it to
[08:22] <friedtofu> help - System -> Administration -> Login Window --- Security (Tab) -> Configure X Server... <-- i cant get that to work
[08:22] <andrew[andrboot]> @ MyOriginalAlias enable all the repos and run an update
[08:22] <chronosx> is granular security for folder sharing in samba possible? i.e. folder contains a list of users who can access it
[08:22] <andrew[andrboot]> then try it again
[08:22] <bulmer> Dark->   /etc/network/interfaces but am not sure what this will in liveCD
[08:23] <Cyber_Stalker> how do i make a drive not read only?
[08:23] <MyOriginalAlias> andrew[andrboot]: Can you do that in synaptic, its been a while for me
[08:23] <balleyne> bulmer: ok, thanks. It still won't autoconnect to networks I've never connected to before, so I have a feeling there's a list being stored somewhere... i'll figure something out though - thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
[08:23] <andrew[andrboot]> @ MyOriginalAlias yes
[08:23] <kakoonia> hey, how can i configure my sound system? i want to reconfigure it to the default setup. is there a package to reconfigure using dpkg-reconfigure < ? ? >
[08:23] <ere4si> darryn: you could try your password as the root password but I'm not confident - need the rescue kernel to do repais
[08:23] <balleyne> Cuber_Stalker: you're trying to read an ntfs drive? you need to use ntfs-3g
[08:23] <andrew[andrboot]> settings/Repo's
[08:23] <ere4si> *repairs
[08:23] <balleyne> Cyber_Stalker*: you're trying to read an ntfs drive? you need to use ntfs-3g
[08:23] <darryn> how do i get the rescue kernel
[08:23] <andrew[andrboot]> thats in the gui.. :)
[08:24] <morphles> t-Omicr0n: i get md5sum mismatch in detalsils so no good this wai oar any other i tried...
[08:24] <Dark> bulmer should i boot into the live cd and let you know what the network settings are
[08:24] <Cyber_Stalker> balleyne: trying to write to it and i have ntfs-3g installed
[08:24] <bulmer> balleyne-> with an essid set am not sure if it will attempt for another AP in case it doesnt connect to the designated one
[08:24] <Cyber_Stalker> but it wont allow me to write
[08:24] <bulmer> Dark-> you can try
[08:24] <MyOriginalAlias> andrew[andrboot]: Sorry, do I just hit the two in the third party tab in repositories?
[08:24] <balleyne> Cyber_Stalker: are you sure it's mounted using ntfs-3g? how did you mount it?
[08:25] <fwaokda> can someone tell me if step 17 here [ http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ ] should be sitting at a prompt for awhile in the terminal purdy plz! :) ???
[08:25] <ere4si> darryn: it is an option at boot from the grub menu - do you have a dual boot with windows or is ubuntu the only install?
[08:25] <Cyber_Stalker> balleyne:  how should i mount it?
[08:25] <darryn> only ubuntu
[08:25] <finchx6> hey, this is going to sound incredibly pathetic, but, has anyone in here had to deal with the Sigmatel STAC 9200 audio problems???
[08:25] <darryn> ok im at the grub menu
[08:26] <darryn> but i don see rescue kernel
[08:26] <MyOriginalAlias> andrew[andrboot]: Because everything in the ubuntu software tab is already checked..
[08:26] <Dark> bulmer booting....one sec
[08:26] <filemonkey> Please guys, I'm really wanting to get this working. How can I get X-server to recognize my display device on startup?
[08:26] <Cyber_Stalker> balleyne:  how should i mount it?
[08:26] <darryn> i have a recovery mode
[08:26] <Geoffrey2> ok, one more time...when Ubuntu installs an updated kernel image, does it save the old menu.lst file anywhere?
[08:27] <balleyne> Cyber_Stalker: sorry, trying to find the command... I believe there may be a separate mount command, like... ntfsmount or mountntfs or something like that (I don't have it installed on this machine)
[08:27] <andrew[andrboot]> @ MyOriginalAlias http://andrboot.com/gentoo/Screenshot.jpg
[08:27] <andrew[andrboot]> does it look smililar to that?
[08:27] <zetheroo> anyone know how to get printer sharing to work in Gutsy?
[08:27] <Cyber_Stalker> balleyne: could you help me more?
[08:27] <Cyber_Stalker> more specifics
[08:27] <ere4si> darryn: then when you boot you get the bios screen - then a text that says something like "press e to edit boot" - it's been a while since I single booted - and you need to get to the menu
[08:27] <balleyne> Cyber_Stalker: http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsmount
[08:27] <andrew[andrboot]> i may have added another repo though. lemme check
[08:27] <ralth> I upgraded to alsa 1.0.15, and it broke my sound.  Is there a way to uninstall it?
[08:28] <andrew[andrboot]> @ MyOriginalAlias got it
[08:28] <kakoonia> hey, how can i configure my sound system? i want to reconfigure it to the default setup. is there a package to reconfigure using dpkg-reconfigure < ? ? >
[08:28] <MyOriginalAlias> andrew[andrboot]: Do share plz
[08:28] <balleyne> Cyber_Stalker: you can mount it using the  ntfsmount command from the terminal, so you can create a directory to mount it to (with mkdir), then `ntfsmount <device> <directory>` will mount it using ntfs-3g (with read/write capabilities)
[08:28] <darryn> ya it says e to edit the commands before booting
[08:29] <balleyne> Cyber_Stalker: does that make sense? I'm not sure how comfortable you are in this territory, do you know what the device is? (e.g. /dev/hda1)
[08:29] <andrew[andrboot]> MyOriginalAlias, pm :)
[08:30] <ere4si> darryn: if you press e it should give you an option for a rescue kernel
[08:30] <balleyne> bulmer: found it... `locate Fernandes` returned a gconf entry in ~/.gconf/system/networking/wireless/networks/Fernandes (where Fernandes is the neighbours network, lol)
[08:30] <jxxt_> MyOriginalAlias: Thank God we did not all find out the answer!!!!!!!!
[08:31] <andrew[andrboot]> did that work @ MyOriginalAlias ?
[08:31] <darryn> i get root, kernel, initrd, quiet
[08:31] <Dark> bulmer ok...i have the live cd booted, and the internet works with it...my /etc/network/interfaces says:
[08:31] <Dark> bulmer "auto lo"
[08:31] <Dark> bulmer "iface lo inet loopback"
[08:31] <Dark> and thats it
[08:31] <Dark> bulmer which is the exact same thing as the installed version
[08:31] <bulmer> balleyne-> thats good to know
[08:32] <ere4si> darryn,  no option for a rescue?
[08:32] <darryn> could it be root?
[08:32] <bulmer> Dark-> there should be entries in /etc/network/interfaces to make that work..i dont know what liveCD have or used for those settings
[08:32] <t-Omicr0n> morphles: check if this could this be this bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/173890 They mention some fixes and stuff
[08:32] <ere4si> darryn: no
[08:32] <Cyber_Stalker> balleyne: how do i list all the dirves
[08:32] <Cyber_Stalker> drives*
[08:32] <darryn> than no no rescue option
[08:33] <Cyber_Stalker> so that i can see what one i need to mount
[08:33] <balleyne> Cyber_Stalker: fdisk -l
[08:33] <Dark> that file doesnt have anything in it other than what i told you...unless it is hidden
[08:33] <balleyne> Cyber_Stalker: you might need a sudo...
[08:33] <Cyber_Stalker> balleyne: that does nothing
[08:33] <Cyber_Stalker> kk
[08:34] <bulmer> balleyne-> which ubuntu version do you have?
[08:34] <balleyne> bulmer: gutsy
[08:34] <andrew[andrboot]> ok dumb question :) lol... got a bluetooth phone conn / adapter on laptop all "connected" any idea how i am able to use it as a modem( the phone) as i did with the usb cable? (its a nokia N73) :)
[08:34] <bulmer> balleyne-> okay..that feature isnt available on my dapper
[08:35] <andrej> Is there an easy way to retrieve packages for a version I don't have installed? I've installed my brother in law a dapper 6.06.01 server (running 7.04 myself). He's on dial-up, and I'd like to d/l the packages he needs to get on my broadband and burn them onto CD
[08:35] <Cyber_Stalker> cyber@cyber:~$ sudo mount -l /dev/sda5 /mnt/c
[08:35] <Cyber_Stalker> mount: /dev/sda5 already mounted or /mnt/c busy
[08:35] <ere4si> sorry darryn but I'm at the end of my knowledge here... :)
[08:35] <Cyber_Stalker> but its not
[08:35] <tom__> hey guys the driver for my wireless card that comes with ubuntu is borked. there is a source for another driver in the repos, i just don't really know how to install it. is there a guide for compiling/installing wireless drivers?
[08:35] <balleyne> bulmer: ah, that would make sense, there were some significant changes to the wireless setup (nm-applet I believe, maybe more) in feisty
[08:35] <Cyber_Stalker> because i unmounted it
[08:35] <Cyber_Stalker> balleyne:
[08:35] <Dark> bulmer any ideas?
[08:35] <darryn> thats ok thnx for tryin man
[08:35] <Cyber_Stalker> sudo mount -l /dev/sda5 /mnt/c
[08:35] <ere4si> k
[08:36] <bulmer> Dark-> you can setup your /etc/network/interfaces file manually, google for one sample
[08:36] <balleyne> Cyber_Stalker: 1) you should be using ntfsmount instead of mount, I believe, if you want to be able to write to the disk; 2) Are you sure it's not mounted already? Can you see the disk on your desktop? It may have automounted..
[08:36] <ralth> I upgraded to alsa 1.0.15, and it broke my sound.  Is there a way to uninstall it?
[08:37] <finchx6> has anyone in here had any of the problems with the sigmatel STAC 9200 audio???  I keep finding how to's for it, but I can't get any of them work
[08:38] <ere4si> darryn: last thought - press e at boot then scroll to kernel and press e again and at the end of the type a space then   noapic nolapic   then hit enter and then b for boot
[08:38] <jaggz> when installing it it asks to install the bootloader (in the advanced box) and defaults to (hd0) -- but my first drive would be (sda) and, actually, it's a raid mirror (sda and sdb) which ubuntu is recognizing as two separate drives
[08:38] <newbie-ubu> quick queston please how do i update the apt cache
[08:38] <unnefer>  Hi does anyone know the min memory space to implement a  file system such as FAT16, ext2 etc
[08:38] <ere4si> !raid
[08:38] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[08:39] <jaggz> thanks
[08:39] <balleyne> newbie-ubu: apt-get update (if that's what you're asking for)
[08:39] <Dark> bulmer well...after googleing it, the "default" setup is exactly what I have
[08:39] <newbie-ubu> not really cos apt-get dont have the file in it i need to add reposotories but the repo is not htere
[08:39] <newbie-ubu> there
[08:39] <newbie-ubu> its a dead repo
[08:39] <newbie-ubu> i understand that cos its a old distro im running a live cd of dapper
[08:39] <RealTek> Heya, anyone upgrade to the 2.6.22 kernel on Gutsy, it has caused a bit of a dilemma.
[08:40] <bulmer> Dark-> the interfaces have more entries than what you showed me
[08:40] <newbie-ubu> and well i need to get ntfs3 running and the how to i read had 2 debs and both are dead
[08:40] <bulmer> Dark-> the interfaces file have more entries than what you showed me
[08:40] <darryn> right bak to the same screen
[08:40] <usrl> I'd like to set up a dual boot, but all the instructions I see are on how to set up a fresh install -- I've already got Ubuntu installed, and would like to install Windows without having to reinstall Ubuntu
[08:40] <usrl> Anyone know where I could find a guide on that?
[08:40] <balleyne> newbie-ubu: Dapper is old, but it's still supported. What are you trying to do? Update the listings from the repositories, or add a new repository?
[08:40] <andrew[andrboot]> @ newbie-ubu which version of ubuntu. because 7.10 has it built in
[08:40] <ere4si> sorry then darryn :)
[08:40] <Dark> bulmer those are the only two entries in that file....same with this box
[08:41] <andrej> Hello, is there an easy way to retrieve packages for a version I don't have installed? I've installed my brother in law a dapper 6.06.01 server (running 7.04 myself). He's on dial-up, and I'd like to d/l the packages he needs to get on my broadband and burn them onto CD
[08:41] <bulmer> Dark-> umm believe me, to make it work, there is more
[08:41] <darryn> its ok lol ill jus keep plugin away at it maybe ill stumble into sumthin
[08:41] <Dark> bulmer when i do a "cat /etc/network/interfaces" there are only 2 lines
[08:41] <newbie-ubu> i added the new repo i needed and it was a dead repo so i thought it might be possible to tell apt-get to look at a different location for its repos but i realise thats a daft idea and unlikely to be realistic
[08:41] <bulmer> Dark-> are you on liveCD or your installed one?
[08:41] <balleyne> usrl: don't take my word for it because I haven't tried, but I've read that it's more different to put Windows on second than vice-versa, in other words I'm not sure that Windows has great "don't use the entire disk" or "respect existing operating systems" features on the installer
[08:42] <usrl> balleyne: I know.
[08:42] <MrDaytonaMan> Is anybody here from Florida?
[08:42] <newbie-ubu> so now i would like to know a slightly different thing and can you tell me if i add a repo for edgey eft instead of dapper can i still use that for the file ntfs3
[08:42] <Dark> bulmer right now, i am on the live cd...but the installed version says the exact same thing as the live cd
[08:42] <balleyne> usrl: maybe you could try using a tool like GParted to setup a partition for Windows ahead of time? not sure if that would help or not... again, just guessing
[08:42] <bulmer> Dark-> and does the installed version work?
[08:43] <tich> i have a lot of media files that i need to organize.  i have tried sub-directories but i always forget where i put stuff.  is there some way to tag files and then search tags?  or some other way to oganize files?
[08:43] <jaggz> oookay.. compiling up "device-mapper" for getting my raid array to work I guess :)
[08:43] <RealTek> Heya, anyone upgrade to the 2.6.22 kernel on Gutsy, it has caused a bit of a dilemma.
[08:43] <jaggz> configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[08:43] <usrl> balleyne: I know about GParted, I was asking if anyone had a guide so I wouldn't have to guess. I appreciate you trying to help, but if I was going to go off guesses and hope I'd just do it myself
[08:43] <Dark> bulmer no...infact, i am booting to the installed version right now to double check
[08:43] <andrej> RealTek : why don't you just say what your problem is?
[08:44] <Myrtti> usrl: well, basically the dualboot is adviced to to in the order of windows and then ubuntu, since windows doesn't like to coexists with any other os
[08:44] <jaggz> usrl, install windows and then you can try to use windows to boot linux, or use linux to boot windows (grub or lilo still I presume)
[08:44] <Myrtti> usrl: it overwrites your mbr
[08:44] <RealTek> andrej: Heya, anyone upgrade to the 2.6.22 kernel on Gutsy, it has caused a bit of a dilemma. I tend to blame the kernel on all my problems because it's the most sophisticated element in the system, but Gutsy locks on logon, although it works fine in root(recovery)
[08:44] <Myrtti> usrl: in most cases
[08:44] <jaggz> you'll have to do the boot loader thing after the windows install
[08:44] <bulmer> Dark-> just google for an interfaces file..and copy it.then modify accordingly
[08:44] <Myrtti> yup
[08:44] <usrl> Myrtti: Again, I know this. I'm just seeing if anyone has a guide for when that's not favorable.
[08:44] <Myrtti> !dualboot
[08:44] <ubotu> Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[08:45] <jaggz> I'm thinking I have to get linux working first, and then maybe I can just use windows to boot it
[08:45] <Myrtti> I've got a feeling ther used to be a better factoid for that
[08:45] <balleyne> newbie-ubu: /etc/apt/sources.list - you can tell it to look at whatever repositories you want, is that what you're trying to do?
[08:46] <jaggz> I never got it to work, but I do have Windows XP Pro AND Linux entries in the Windows bootup :)
[08:46] <mMandora> how can i set my bios to boot from USB before CD and HDD? they have many options... (ie. USB-FLOPPY, USB-FDD, USB-DISKETTE with KEY, USB-CDROM) Which do i choose if any!?
[08:46] <Dark> bulmer yup...no internet on the installed version
[08:46] <newbie-ubu> yeah ok so if i tell it to use edgey eft then it will
[08:46] <vanchu> hello
[08:46] <jaggz> configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[08:46] <ere4si> !hi
[08:46] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[08:46] <bulmer> Dark-> once more, please google for a sample interfaces file
[08:46] <vanchu> anyone know how to add desktops ?
[08:46] <mMandora> its a usb drive btw with bootable ubuntu 7.10 btw
[08:46] <jaggz> why can't the compiler create executables?  :)
[08:46] <erUSUL> jaggz: install build-essential
[08:47] <timandtom> I'm using Ubuntu 7.10, and have uTorrent running in Wine. I'm connected to a buncha peers and seeds, and my download speed is CRAP. Just wondering, probably a bad torrent, or somehow Ubuntus fault?
[08:47] <ere4si> vanchu: right click the ones you have
[08:47] <jaggz> ohh.. okay, thanks :)
[08:47] <jaggz> I'll give the windows-config.sys (or whatever it was) method a shot first
[08:47] <erUSUL> vanchu: right click on the desktop switcher > configure  (bottom right corner)
[08:47] <Dark> bulmer i have done that already, and what i found was exactly what i have....are you able to tell me some of what i am missing from my file?
[08:47] <Geoffrey2> does anyone know if a backup of the menu.lst file is saved anywhere?
[08:47] <zetheroo> printer sharing in Gutsy anyone?
[08:47] <tich> i have read on the forums that the new updates are breaking ubuntu, is that true?  how do i avoid it?
[08:47] <jaggz> it would be neat if a MS thing could get my linux booted
[08:47] <vanchu> thanks erUSL and ere4s1
[08:48] <jaggz> tich, if it's true.. don't update ?
[08:48] <bulmer> Dark-> you only have looked at one link, go and look for more samples
[08:48] <osfameron> gah.  Wireless at work doesn't like my ubuntu.  Sometimes the network manager claims that there is no network connection and takes down my eth1.  (Doesn't happen at home wireless, or anywhere else)
[08:48] <erUSUL> timandtom: i'v used utorrent myself and got good dl speed
[08:48]  * osfameron reboots, because, er, that works, and he doesn't know how else to fix it
[08:48] <friedtofu> timandtom: did you forward your ports? - my utorrent is decent
[08:48] <Dark> bulmer looking again
[08:48] <ere4si> Geoffrey2, if you change it a backup is made - in nautilus click edit then show hidden files
[08:48] <andrej> zetheroo : I'll have some;  got to get a printer on Ubuntu to work for a win98 machine, and don't know how.  File-sharing works fine
[08:48] <jaggz> okay.. but aside from that, since I"m not installing the boot loader, how can I boot my system once the install is done?
[08:49] <timandtom> erUSUL: So probably just a crappy torrent then? Some of the seeds say they are uploading @16kb/s, but I'm not getting above about 10kb/s
[08:49] <zetheroo> andrej: well I am trying to get it working between two gutsy machines
[08:49] <vanchu> I'm trying to get beryl to do all its cool stuff
[08:49] <jaggz> does the ubuntu install cd take a grub-like thing like:  boot root=(sdc,1) ?  I forgot
[08:49] <tich> jaggz, yes i won't.  did you do an update today?
[08:49] <timandtom> friedtofu: That thing in the window with the speedtest link when you first open it says my port is forwarded, but i could try a diff one
[08:49] <Unrealantidote> hello all, need a driver for my internal wireless on my averatec 3100 laptop, anyone have any ideas?
[08:49] <newbie-ubu> thanks balleyne that worked a treat
[08:49] <andrej> Oh ... I thought you were offering support; sorry.
[08:49] <jaggz> fresh install on a blank partition, tich
[08:49] <friedtofu> timandtom: seed/peer ratio? :/
[08:50] <Guza> hi
[08:50] <Guza> i have only one question
[08:50] <jaggz> I usually only used windows on this machine.. but I had a 3rd drive in here with hoary hedgehog on it
[08:50] <finchx6> anyone who might be able to help me get my sound working??lol.  I've found numerous sites explaining how, but i can't get them to work
[08:50] <timandtom> 12 seeds, 37 peers. 10kb/s down, 40kb/s up
[08:50] <Guza> what is the most secure FS
[08:50] <timandtom> my internet can handle a LOT more then that
[08:50] <timandtom> not just in tests, but in practice
[08:50] <bulmer> Dark-> it will be something like iface eth0 inet dhcp
[08:50] <jaggz> Guza, probably one of the BSD's
[08:51] <Guza> heh
[08:51] <zetheroo> I get this error when I try to Verify a printer on the network :This print share is not accessible.
[08:51] <ere4si> timandtom, the ratio is the important bit
[08:51] <Guza> but i need for ubuntu
[08:51] <luke-jr> why is #ubuntu secret?
[08:51] <Guza> :D
[08:51] <Unrealantidote> hello all, I need a wireless driver for my averatec 3100 laptop, any ideas"
[08:51] <jaggz> but a while back there were some really lame performance issues with a few versions of them.. but that was years ago now
[08:51] <Unrealantidote> ?
[08:51] <ralth> Is there a way to revert to the sound drivers installed with 7.10?
[08:51] <jaggz> the most secure ubuntu??
[08:51] <ere4si> timandtom, seeds to peers
[08:51] <friedtofu> timandtom: meh, thats just the way bittorrent works - ... usually the longer you leave it the faster it goes - and i consider 20-30 KB/s good speed ... >.> lol... but you can get to higher levels if enough people ul to you
[08:51] <Guza> no
[08:51] <Guza> file system
[08:51] <Guza> ext2 3 etc
[08:51] <jaggz> secure file system?  never thought of them that way
[08:51] <jaggz> oh.. secure as in.. reliable
[08:52] <timandtom> ere4si: Yup, but still, i can handle way more then that, so i dont think that that the peers are bringing it down much
[08:52] <Guza> i must not lose my data
[08:52] <timandtom> friedtofu: :P Ha, I got Ubuntu via a torrent once... 1mb/s
[08:52] <luke-jr> Unrealantidote: are you sure that even has wireless?
[08:52] <Guza> so i need very stable FS
[08:52] <jaggz> ext3 is pretty darn developed nowadays.. I'm going with it for mine over reiser, even though reiser is really efficient in many ways.. I just think ext3 is more tried and tested
[08:52] <odracir34> can i ask somthing.
[08:52] <mechanicus01> hello everybody , how do i install asterisk 1.416 ?
[08:52] <Dark> bulmer yeah, i tried to change it to that earlier, and it didnt work
[08:52] <jaggz> but I'm not an expert on this
[08:52] <ere4si> timandtom, the upload limit the seeders have is taken up because there are more peers
[08:52] <jaggz> by any means
[08:52] <friedtofu> timandtom: your 'net and mine are extremely polar
[08:52] <mechanicus01> i only see folders
[08:52] <Guza> ok
[08:52] <Guza> tnx for info
[08:53] <jaggz> remember, ext3 is journalled though
[08:53] <filemonkey> I need to be able to configure X with only bash running. Anyone know how?
[08:53] <Unrealantidote> luke-jr:  yes, this laptop has wireless, i had it working with vista, but, i hate microshaft and all other proprietary companies so i wiped it
[08:53] <jaggz> ext2 is not as reliable as ext3 :)
[08:53] <bulmer> Dark-> which nic card do you have on your desktop?
[08:53] <ere4si> timandtom, you play no part in that
[08:53] <luke-jr> Unrealantidote: pastebin your lspci
[08:53] <jaggz> ext3 IS ext2 with journalling "on top"
[08:53] <Guza> hmmm
[08:53] <Guza> Journaling capabilities	No	Yes	Yes
[08:53] <odracir34> i hVE SOME FILMS FROM MY HOLLYDAY I WANT TO MAKE A DVD STRUCTURE, BUT IF I DO THAT WITH DEVEDE THEN HE MAKE A GREAT BIG VOB FILE AND I CAN NOT BURN IT..
[08:53] <Dark> bulmer its on the motherboard...ASUS A8N
[08:53] <Guza> ext2 ext3 raiserFS
[08:53] <timandtom> ere4si friedtofu: Meh, I basically just needed to know if it was Ubuntu screwing it over, or just my torrent. Looks like its the torrent then?
[08:53] <Unrealantidote> Luke-jr: I am not on the laptop atm, I am on my desktop gaming machine
[08:54] <jaggz> if you want reliability say yes.. mostly you'd say yes
[08:54] <odracir34> oeps caps
[08:54] <jaggz> it's a bit less efficient
[08:54] <Dark> bulmer there are two nics..i am using eth0
[08:54] <ere4si> timandtom, yep
[08:54] <jaggz> but with little to no question it's more reliable
[08:54] <luke-jr> Unrealantidote: well, according to http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/averatec.html Averatec laptops are pre-WiFi
[08:54] <bulmer> Dark-> is it detected ?  do a  lspci
[08:54] <luke-jr> Unrealantidote: so unless you can tell us what wireless chip it uses, nobody caqn help
[08:54] <Guza> well ext3
[08:54] <Guza> is yours suggestion
[08:54] <Guza> tnx again
[08:54] <Unrealantidote> luke-jr:  I will go into bios and figure it out real quick, brb
[08:55] <Guza> i was lose data 3 times
[08:55] <timandtom> ere4si: Ah, ok, thanks. Just wondering, because this is my usuall settings, and I have yet to have it this bad. But if its just the torrent, then I'll just  not worry about it. Thanks =]
[08:55] <Dark> bulmer yes, it detects both of them
[08:55] <luke-jr> Unrealantidote: the bios is not likely to say
[08:55] <Guza> now i was buy hp g5 dl380 server
[08:55] <jaggz> losing data ?
[08:55] <Unrealantidote> luke-jr:  ok, websearch then
[08:55] <Guza> yes
[08:55] <Guza> raiserFS is so unstable
[08:55] <luke-jr> Unrealantidote: good luck
[08:55] <jaggz> is that what you were using?
[08:55] <Unrealantidote> luke-jr:  it is a 3200 sorry
[08:55] <ere4si> timandtom,  every client prog says to have more seeders than peers for that reason
[08:56] <bulmer> Dark-> i'd still try this   iface eth0 inet dhcp on that file
[08:56] <Guza> yes
[08:56] <jaggz> so I'm making a good choice in switching back to ext3 now then :)
[08:56] <Guza> :)
[08:56] <luke-jr> Unrealantidote: ah, big difference ☺
[08:56] <Guza> i was have 2 TB data
[08:56] <ere4si> darryn: did the live cd work ok? - take you to the desktop?
[08:56] <Guza> :S
[08:56] <jaggz> http://www.linuxsa.org.au/pipermail/linuxsa/2002-January/038045.html
[08:56] <darryn> no it freezes
[08:56] <jaggz> ext3 vs reiserfs convo.. from 2002 though
[08:56] <darryn> on the same screen
[08:56] <Dark> bulmer trying it right now...do i need to replace the lo stuff with this?
[08:57] <jaggz> anyway.. I'll stick with ext3 -- I've been using it on some servers for years now
[08:57] <Guza> hehe
[08:57] <bulmer> Dark->  no not the lo
[08:57] <Unrealantidote> not used to such a crappy laptop
[08:57] <darryn> i couldnt even install ubuntu untill i used the alternative
[08:57] <Guza> i will always use
[08:57] <luke-jr> Unrealantidote: looks like there's 2 different wireless chipsets used in those models
[08:57] <Guza> raiserFS
[08:57] <jaggz> I think it's been put through a lot and is the most used, and therefore the most tested, developed, and cleaned up, as far as these fs's go
[08:57] <Guza> is more faster than ext3
[08:57] <darryn> i did manage to log in on the root
[08:57] <Dark> bulmer so i would add the eth0 stuff below the lo stuff..right?
[08:57] <jaggz> maybe there's some awesome one by some commercial unix vendor, but I don't know
[08:58] <ere4si> darryn: you need to google for the install instructions for you hardware then - what is the comp - should have asked earlier :)
[08:58] <Unrealantidote> luke-jr:  hmm, guess i could try one driver and then the other if the first doesnt work
[08:58] <jaggz> yeah, and handles small files better, etc.
[08:58] <train> its always something, flash wont sintall
[08:58] <bulmer> Dark-> you have not really googled and read stuff i asked you to do...
[08:58] <darryn> i made it
[08:58] <jaggz> but I would prefer reliability
[08:58] <jaggz> so I think we've made our choice :)
[08:58] <Guza> :D
[08:58] <darryn> i had absolutly no problem loading windows on here
[08:58] <Unrealantidote> luke-jr:  you have a link to snatch files from?
[08:58] <Dark> bulmer yes i did...infact, i am looking at a few pages right now
[08:58] <Guza> watch this
[08:58] <darryn> cept a faulty ram stik
[08:58] <luke-jr> Unrealantidote: for the first, just make sure your kernel is at least 2.6.17
[08:58] <darryn> but thats gone
[08:58] <Guza> http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/calish_filesys.html
[08:58] <bulmer> Dark-> those samples would show that..
[08:59] <ere4si> darryn: motherboard cpu etc is what you need to ask google for\
[08:59] <luke-jr> http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
[08:59] <jaggz> I'll try.. running on a ubuntu install cd right now :)
[08:59] <Unrealantidote> luke-jr:  it is the latest version of ubuntu....whatever that is
[08:59] <luke-jr> Unrealantidote: that's nice. Ubuntu has two "latest" versions, and I don't use either
[08:59] <Unrealantidote> luke-jr: I just downloaded it
[08:59] <Dark> bulmer the "samples" i am looking at have either or
[08:59] <luke-jr> uname -a will tell you what kernel version
[08:59] <jaggz> oh.. 'read' this..  ?  :)
[08:59] <Guza> :D
[08:59] <Unrealantidote> luke-jr:  I am sure it has an updated kernal
[09:00] <bulmer> Dark-> try them both and get the feel for what happens..
[09:00] <darryn> my processor is an intel pentium d and the motherboard came in a combo pak
[09:00] <Dark> bulmer will do...trying
[09:00] <darryn> i cant imagine ubuntu having problems wit that
[09:00] <Dark> bulmer and by the way..thanks for helping me out so far
[09:00] <Geoffrey2> ere4si, problem being, ubuntu won't boot, period...so I'm trying to fix my problem by reading the drive from Windows, and reading a backed up menu.lst file, which doesn't seem to exist
[09:00] <luke-jr> Unrealantidote: the other possibility is rt2x00; didn't find any good sites about it, but apparently Ubuntu supports it
[09:01] <bulmer> Dark no problem..i think you are getting close..dont want to spoil the fun of learning it by trying
[09:01] <Dark> bulmer ah..you are one of THOSE people...lol
[09:01] <ere4si> Geoffrey2, nothing with a ~menu.lst?
[09:02] <train> I'm getting this error when I try and install flash : md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9......
[09:02] <Dark> bulmer how do i restart networking
[09:02] <bulmer> Dark-> /etc/init.d/networking restart
[09:03] <luke-jr> train: it's trying to give you a hint that you are doing something wrong
[09:03] <zloog> Hi, whats going on when only one program can be using sound at any given time? How do I start trying to resolve that.
[09:03] <jaggz> Guza: I kinda wish I could comfortably use reiserfs
[09:03] <train> well its synaptic
[09:03] <train> I dont know what else I could do to make things go right
[09:04] <Zenerek> well i was gonna tell Dark the same thing except i did not know the name of the netwroking service...who knew it would be that simple name
[09:04] <luke-jr> train: "installing Flash" is what you're doing wrong ☺
[09:04] <train> does the md5sum error mean there is something wrong witht he file I have?
[09:04] <Unrealantidote> luke-jr: RT2500 wireless
[09:04] <train> luke-jr: lets all go back to terminals
[09:04] <Guza> do u have sometimes problems with hdds
[09:04] <Guza> ?
[09:05] <Guza> on ext3
[09:05] <Geoffrey2> I see a menu.lst~ but it looks identical to menu.lst
[09:05] <luke-jr> train: sure, though I prefer to keep Konq and Konsole around
[09:05] <jaggz> I have some hardware problems with a couple drives in this one server
[09:05] <luke-jr> Geoffrey2: ~ is a backup
[09:05] <jaggz> my new server has more than one cpu so it'd be nice to utilize that I think?
[09:05] <jaggz> reiser seems to scale it says
[09:05] <Guza> hehehe
[09:05] <Guza> :D
[09:06] <Guza> what u running on server?
[09:06] <GeorgeA> is there an ogre3d .deb package somewhere?
[09:06] <Dark> bulmer well...i am truly stuck....i cant get it to connect
[09:07] <jaggz> I'm gonna use ext3 I think.. after reading the article I'm probably going to stick with it
[09:07] <jaggz> with ext3
[09:07] <Guza> :)
[09:07] <Guza> of course
[09:07] <jaggz> I am using a lot of small files.. but I'm moving away from that to try SQL
[09:07] <jaggz> which is scary for me :)
[09:07] <Dark> bulmer trying one other thing
[09:07] <Guza> hehehehehhee
[09:07] <jaggz> because I'm aware of the differences in caching
[09:07] <bulmer> Dark are you even getting any ip address at all?
[09:07] <jaggz> but with our new servers and the amount of ram it shouldn't matter I think
[09:08] <luke-jr> jaggz: SQL isn't a filesystem anyhow
[09:08] <luke-jr> yet
[09:08] <Guza> how much ram u have
[09:08] <Guza> now
[09:08] <jaggz> of course it's not
[09:08] <Dark> bulmer when i restart networking, it tries to get an ip address from my router...but never seems to get one
[09:08] <train> okay got it installed adobe flash installer 1 synaptic 0
[09:08] <jaggz> I was discussing my reason for fs choices.. many small files are my way of storing a lot of data
[09:08] <luke-jr> train: boo
[09:09] <Zenerek> does anyone know to change that screen after grub?you know the one where your services are being loaded, i would have found a tut but i don't know what the screen is called.
[09:09] <jaggz> useful because the oft-hit ones stay cached, and the others are out of the way
[09:09] <luke-jr> train: now to uninstall it
[09:09] <train> gotta have my youtube fix luke-jr
[09:09] <train> neva
[09:09] <luke-jr> train: Adobe products exist for destroying
[09:09] <jaggz> yet, the oft-hit ones also keep their various other bits of data adjacent, and therefore also more often in the cached blocks
[09:09] <andrew[andrboot]> mm.
[09:09] <train> yeah now to install photoshop
[09:09] <luke-jr> using Adobe is no better than using Microsoft
[09:10] <jaggz> when we switch to sql, storing these in there is going to disassociate the records from each other, flattening the field and being more wasteful of memory
[09:10] <jaggz> I don't yet have a solution for it
[09:10] <train> what would you have me do
[09:10] <jaggz> but I hope with enough memory the caching will account for it
[09:10] <bulmer> Dark->  well i dont know why your dhcp server is not dolling out one to your pc.
[09:10] <train> gnash?
[09:10] <Guza> uff
[09:10] <train> for some reason that terd didn't work either
[09:10] <luke-jr> train: refuse to use websites wanting Flash
[09:10] <Guza> what are u running on servers?
[09:10] <jaggz> if there were some way of telling SQL to keep the data close together.. maybe that would work.. or if I could have a million tables -- then maybe that's the solution
[09:10] <Dark> bulmer well..my router sees the mac address of my box
[09:11] <luke-jr> Guza: Gentoo and Debian here
[09:11] <jaggz> but I don't know if I can reasonably have millionS of tables
[09:11] <train> yeah good luck with that
[09:11] <jaggz> Guza, they're web servers.. data's being served from flat text files and Berkeley DBs
[09:11] <luke-jr> jaggz: you most certainly can't have millions of files
[09:11] <jaggz> hundreds of thousands of them
[09:11] <Guza> aham
[09:11] <Dark> bulmer trying one other thing....i will disconnect for a sec, but will be right back
[09:12] <jaggz> right now it's about a half million files
[09:12] <Guza> how much web servers you have
[09:12] <Geoffrey2> luke-jr, well then I have no idea what happened, because the optional parameter that allowed ubuntu to boot existed in the menu.lst file before the last bug fix for the kernel two or so days ago, now it's not appearing in either menu.lst file, and Ubuntu won't boot at all.....
[09:12] <jaggz> one server dishes it all out.. the service is coded in C "so" it's very efficient
[09:12] <luke-jr> Geoffrey2: btw, menu.lst is obsolete; grub.conf replaced it
[09:12] <jaggz> and the way I designed the db access is efficient
[09:12] <Guza> do u think to make clusters
[09:12] <jaggz> but it's not efficient for backing up or running through all the data which requires jumping to tons of files..
[09:13] <jaggz> no need for clusters yet
[09:13] <Guza> if u have problems with resource u will need
[09:13] <_Casey_> i need a dvd player for my ubuntu
[09:13] <luke-jr> jaggz: filesystems are not designed to handle millions of small files in one place
[09:13] <jaggz> then I also make some other optimizations, like generating a single file of the main page (the most frequently accessed page) of a section
[09:14] <_Casey_> whats the best
[09:14] <luke-jr> jaggz: databases are
[09:14] <Geoffrey2> well, in either case, until I track down wherever I found the workaround for the kernel bug, Ubuntu's not loading on my computer at all....sigh....
[09:14] <jaggz> then just one file is hit and displayed, without having to hundreds of DB lookups
[09:14] <_Casey_> totem movie player cant play my dvd
[09:14] <Neronious> what is the name of the screen that pops up after GRUB but before the login screen it has a loading bar and says Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[09:14] <luke-jr> _Casey_: you assume there are any good DVD players ☺
[09:15] <Casey> vlc player ftw
[09:15] <jaggz> luke, they're distributed, clustered in groups of 1000 directories, each containing from 3 to 5 files (sometimes more)
[09:15] <_Casey_> well i need one to play this movie ;x
[09:15] <luke-jr> jaggz: db is designed to handle it
[09:15] <jaggz> but it's awful to jump through these files.. so that's exactly why I'm moving it to a unified DB
[09:15] <jaggz> but, consider a messageboard site storing posts
[09:15] <jaggz> consider them having hundreds of thousands of messageboards
[09:15] <zetheroo> ok I got print sharing to work.... was there someone who needed help with that here?
[09:15] <luke-jr> _Casey_: technically, anything for Ubuntu that *can* play your DVD is probably illegal (in the US)
[09:15] <jaggz> when you hit one board, how are the messages stored?
[09:16] <jaggz> how *should* they be stored?
[09:16] <_Casey_> your kidding me
[09:16] <tijn> i have a weird problem,  fglrx worked just fine, suddenly everything is software rendered, the module fglrx is loaded but just won't work anymore, is this a known problem?
[09:16] <_Casey_> i just want to watch my movie
[09:16] <luke-jr> _Casey_: your movie's producers don't want you to unless you let them own your computer
[09:16] <jaggz> ugh
[09:16] <_Casey_> no, i can stick my dvd in a windows comp and use it
[09:17] <luke-jr> _Casey_: because Windows lets them own your computer
[09:17] <andrew[andrboot]> exactly :)
[09:17] <andrew[andrboot]> luke-jr knows what he is talkinga about :) lol
[09:17] <jaggz> 0wn3d-style too
[09:18] <luke-jr> _Casey_: there are programs that will automagically crack your DVD's encryption though, to play it in Ubuntu
[09:18] <luke-jr> but they are illegal in the US
[09:18] <jaggz> new software protection things are now reminding me of not being much better than being hacked.. but hopefully they don't pick on the small guy who's just trying to live.
[09:18] <luke-jr> that said, I've never heard of anyone enforcing it
[09:18] <jaggz> I've played my DVDs using xine
[09:18] <jaggz> I like it too
[09:18] <jaggz> very good with its forward-backward with ctrl/alt/shift adjustment for # of seconds
[09:18] <_Casey_> i need to crack it then? hmm
[09:19] <luke-jr> _Casey_: a human can't crack it
[09:19] <luke-jr> programs can do so fairly quick
[09:19] <_Casey_> no i need the program i mean
[09:19] <luke-jr> yeah
[09:19] <Romes> alright... I'm sure you hate these questions... but... my wifi card isn't working, so I tried to install the linux driver found on the ASUS site, which didn't work. Then I tried to install ndiswrapper... which also didn't work. So I finally cracked and came here :P
[09:19] <Geoffrey2> _Casey_, actually, the simple solution is to install libdvdcss
[09:19] <_6StringKng_> is there a 2.3.1 .deb of Pidgin for Gutsy yet?
[09:19] <JakeConnor> is it possible to setup apache to accept putting a file on the server from http with a user name and password that's in a htaccess file? basically i want to setup a quick program that uploads a file to a http address (http://myhost.com/uploads/youraccount/) and protect it with a user name and password setup via htaccess, is this possible with just apache?
[09:19] <kakoonia> hey, is there anyone here with a ATI X1950 PRO - AGP graphics card, that could install it proparely, and enabled Desktop Effects?
[09:19] <luke-jr> most movie players for Linux have it integrated
[09:19] <luke-jr> kakoonia: I think you need to wait another year for that, sorry
[09:19] <jaggz> xine plays almost everything I throw at it :)
[09:20] <Romes> I know saying "it didn't work" is vague, but I don't want to start spouting error info unless someone here is listening :P
[09:20] <luke-jr> jaggz: yeah, by cracking it first ☺
[09:20] <jaggz> including when I installed windows codecs so it can play .wmv files too now
[09:20] <jaggz> I don't think it handles the little movies that come from my old cell phone though.
[09:20] <fabouney-> Plop
[09:20] <_6StringKng_> is there a .deb for Pidgin for Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon yet?
[09:20] <_Casey_> libdvdread?
[09:20] <Romes> nobody?
[09:20] <kakoonia> luke-jr: ohh... wow. that bad? not even a slight chance?
[09:20] <jaggz> only .. quicktime handled that
[09:21] <luke-jr> kakoonia: not for 3D
[09:21] <luke-jr> kakoonia: the drivers are still in development
[09:21] <Geoffrey2> _Casey_, libdvdcss
[09:21] <jaggz> okay, I'm gonna head out for now
[09:21] <kakoonia> luke-jr: ok budd. thanks
[09:21] <jaggz> you might see me back sometime :)
[09:21] <luke-jr> kakoonia: at least it's not a nVidia card though ☺
[09:21] <Suva> _6StringKng_: There has always been
[09:21] <jaggz> later luke
[09:21] <_6StringKng_> okay, mind pointing me in the direction?
[09:21] <Romes> anybody know why installing ndiswrapper isn't working?
[09:21] <luke-jr> kakoonia: ATI/AMD are at least helping driver development ☺
[09:21] <Suva> _6StringKng_: sudo apt-get install pidgin
[09:21] <jaggz> _6StringKng_: hmm
[09:22] <Zenerek> luke-jr:  just go to ubuntu .com and find the section with guides...or you could try ubuntu guide.org  but i'm not sure if that is the right url
[09:22] <Romes> ... weeeeee :(
[09:22] <_6StringKng_> okay, if there was a .deb, for 2.3.1, wouldnt I have received that when I run update manager
[09:22] <luke-jr> Zenerek: wtf?
[09:22] <_6StringKng_> which I heavnt, unless I need to add something to my repostory of course
[09:22] <Suva> _6StringKng_: Ah, you want 2.3.1?
[09:22] <ali_> hi
[09:22] <theTrav> ok, got my iPod sorted out, now for the network
[09:22] <_6StringKng_> thats what I said wasnt it, lol
[09:22] <Zenerek> heh sorry that was meant for cassey
[09:22] <_6StringKng_> ah nvm
[09:23] <_6StringKng_> missed 2.3.1 in my last post, osrry
[09:23] <_6StringKng_> sorry*
[09:23] <Geoffrey2> _Casey_, what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[09:23] <_Casey_> 7.10
[09:23] <_Casey_> the newest
[09:23] <theTrav> I set up my desktop for windows style sharing of a few folder,s but when I try to connect to it from winXP the winXP box prompts for a password
[09:23] <Suva> _6StringKng_: Well, if there aren't right now, it might come sooner or later
[09:23] <mechanicus01> need help:: how do i "run" make to initialize asterisk?
[09:23] <theTrav> is there a way for me to grant access without needing a password?
[09:23] <luke-jr> you know, Linux users should all buy some DVD and start a class action lawsuit against the producers for denying them their fair use rights to play it :þ
[09:23] <Suva> _6StringKng_: Wasn't 2.3.1 an security update?
[09:24] <_6StringKng_> considering I'm running 2.2.1, I would like to have the newest one available
[09:24] <pegel> help me please?
[09:24] <JakeConnor> how do i configure webdav for apache to allow putting files through http to a specific directory on my server?
[09:24] <Zenerek> i heared that the codec game has been improved in newer versions( still running dapper) nut i guess you still have to enable dvd playback?
[09:24] <Neronious> what is the name of the screen that pops up after GRUB but before the login screen it has a loading bar and says Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[09:24] <mechanicus01> reading the installation guide and it says run "make " but how do i do that?
[09:24] <pegel> i'm configuring chillispot
[09:24] <tijn> i have a weird problem,  fglrx worked just fine, suddenly everything is software rendered, the module fglrx is loaded but just won't work anymore, is this a known problem?
[09:24] <theTrav> anyone?
[09:25] <Suva> _6StringKng_: Maybe it's in backports
[09:25] <peter__> ii
[09:25] <kakoonia> luke-jr: ive got nvidia card as a matter of fact, its my friends laptop :) too bad for him. btw: he spoke with ati technical support, and they told him, that they dont support linux..
[09:25] <luke-jr> kakoonia: no doubt, most technical support don't
[09:25] <luke-jr> kakoonia: support comes from the Linux community
[09:25] <Suva> _6StringKng_: But you can always compile it from source
[09:25] <Blu3pr1nt> does nvidia supports linux?
[09:26] <pegel> client has ip but couldn't browse server
[09:26] <pegel> i'm checking using wireshark
[09:26] <_Casey_> i just want to watch my movie :/
[09:26] <_6StringKng_> ah, yeah I could try, but have never done anything like that, lol
[09:26] <Neronious> Blu3pr1nt: nvidia supplies linux drivers from their website
[09:26] <kakoonia> luke-jr: :{}
[09:26] <pegel> what should i do then?
[09:26] <Blu3pr1nt> ok i'll look for them ^^ thanks ^^
[09:27] <luke-jr> Blu3pr1nt: Linux has 2D support for nVidia chips
[09:27] <Zenerek> casey http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy there noew read
[09:27] <NaNO2x> hello, has anyone had a problem where boot cds wont work but reading cds from within an os works fine?
[09:27] <Blu3pr1nt> i've got a new DX10 nVidia cart...is there DX10 Support yet?
[09:27] <luke-jr> Blu3pr1nt: nVidia "supports" Linux *users* by forcing them to "pirate" drivers
[09:27] <luke-jr> Blu3pr1nt: DirectX crap is Windows-only
[09:28] <Blu3pr1nt> oh yes ..sry i've forgot...
[09:28] <kraut> moin
[09:28] <vanchu> I have a quick question, I'm installing ubuntu right now and I need to say wich partition is the root
[09:28] <vanchu> how do I do that ?
[09:28] <Suva> _6StringKng_: sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin
[09:28] <Blu3pr1nt> ok thx guys I'll go and look for my drivers
[09:28] <Suva> _6StringKng_: This will download all dependencies for the build
[09:29] <luke-jr> Blu3pr1nt: should've got an ATi or Intel chip
[09:29] <Suva> _6StringKng_: Then download the source, ./configure; make; sudo make install
[09:29] <_6StringKng_> k, will do
[09:29] <Suva> sung_: And don't forget to remove ubuntu pidgin before
[09:29] <_6StringKng_> do I need to remove the old one first via synaptic?
[09:29] <Suva> _6StringKng_: Yeah, it would be clever
[09:29] <_6StringKng_> k
[09:29] <_6StringKng_> well, thanks, hope this all works
[09:30] <_Casey_> i did what it said
[09:30] <_Casey_> but nothing
[09:31] <Suva> _6StringKng_: PM me or put my name in front of the sentence when you have problems, because I don't monitor the window actively.
[09:31] <Zenerek> Suva:  I built pidgin in dapper and am using right now, what i wanted to ask was when i tried build-depp it told me it some folder or other or something did not exist,also some of the repos ubuntu us somthing won't work and i already tried that repo generator
[09:31] <_6StringKng_> k, will do
[09:31] <_6StringKng_> SuvaL will do :P
[09:31] <_6StringKng_> AH
[09:31] <_6StringKng_> Suva*
[09:32] <Suva> :)
[09:32] <_6StringKng_> Suva: should I remove "Pidgin" or everything that has to do with pidgin, liek pidgin-data?
[09:32] <_Casey_> omgomgomg
[09:32] <Suva> _6StringKng_: Well, you don't need other packages connected with pidgin either
[09:32] <_Casey_> xine is playing my dvd
[09:33] <flibberdy> hi all, I installed ubuntu yesterday and I have a few problems: how do I change my keyboard config from US to UK? xorg.conf appears to be empty
[09:33] <Suva> _6StringKng_: But synaptic should automatically ask if you want to remove those too
[09:33]  * _Casey_ falls out of chair
[09:33] <_6StringKng_> k
[09:33] <Suva> _Casey_: Yeah, that is what xine is intended for
[09:33] <Zenerek> thought you said nothing happened...you see sometimes you have to restart app for changes to happen
[09:33] <_Casey_> ill be back
[09:34] <revilodraw> i have an inspiron with an x1400 graphics card; will desktop effects be impossible for me?
[09:34] <flibberdy> also, I need the ieee80211 module, but i can't modprobe it as it doesn't seem to be compiled. how do I create this module?
[09:34] <Zenerek> i use vlc and as i recall is that not gstreamer based?
[09:36] <the-trav> hmm.  messing with wireless, I can see my target network on the list, and when I select it I get prompted for a wireless key, however when I enter it and click connect, it tries for a while and then just stops
[09:37] <the-trav> unfortunately it doesn't tell me why it has stopped
[09:37] <the-trav> anyone know if that would be logged somewhere I can get at?
[09:38] <revilodraw> the-trav; have u tried the forums? also, check u r using the right type of encryption (ie 128bit, etc)
[09:38] <the-trav> revilodraw, I checked the encryption, 128 bit hex, WEP open system
[09:39] <the-trav> ahh found it
[09:39] <the-trav> syslog
[09:39] <flibberdy> can anyone tell me if there's some magic command to get my intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG to appear as a network device?
[09:39] <the-trav> association took to long (>60s), failing activation
[09:39] <flibberdy> at the moment, iwconfig doesn't show the card at all
[09:39] <MasterShrek> flibberdy, i think you need firmware for it, try the restricted drivers manager
[09:40] <flibberdy> MasterShrek: I'm new to ubuntu (a gentoo vet though), what's the restricted drivers manager?
[09:40] <revilodraw> i have an inspiron with an x1400 graphics card; will desktop effects be impossible for me?
[09:40] <MasterShrek> flibberdy, its ubuntu's way of installing proprietary drivers and stuff, im on slackware atm, but i think its under system > administration
[09:40] <windego40> hello
[09:41] <MasterShrek> !hi
[09:41] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:41] <MasterShrek> :)
[09:41] <flibberdy> thanks MasterShrek
[09:41] <MasterShrek> no prob
[09:41] <mrpur> hello
[09:41] <david__> hello
[09:41] <windego40> could someone possibly help me get my wireless usb adapter to work on my comp?
[09:42] <windego40> Hello :)
[09:42] <NaNO2x> anyone had a cd drive that wont spin up when trying to boot to a cd but works fine otherwise
[09:42] <Zenerek> thought it sounded strange must be somthing they added after dapper
[09:42] <david__> i have problem i do web server is working but when i do from my server or othere computer interlan www.davidtanti.com go to my cisco gui
[09:42] <david__> can some help re this
[09:43] <MasterShrek> david__, i think im connecting to your /var/www directory
[09:43] <david__> what can i do re this problem master
[09:44] <MasterShrek> david__, put the files that you want visible in /var/www
[09:44] <david__> how can i  go to var www
[09:44] <mechanicus01> hello everybody how do i "run" make to initialize asterisk?
[09:45] <flibberdy> david, cd /var/www ?
[09:45] <mechanicus01> i am trying to install asterisk 1.4.16 on Ubuntu
[09:45] <MasterShrek> !info asterisk
[09:45] <ubotu> asterisk: Open Source Private Branch Exchange (PBX). In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.4.10~dfsg-1 (gutsy), package size 2033 kB, installed size 5264 kB
[09:45] <mechanicus01> all i see is folders
[09:45] <MasterShrek> mechanicus01, just enable universe and apt-get it
[09:45] <david__> can i move this items from var www
[09:45] <david__> and put my
[09:45] <ActySofts> hello everyone
[09:46] <mechanicus01> macd
[09:46] <revilodraw> is it possible to use my laptop hotkeys on the front of my laptop to control exaile?
[09:46] <ActySofts> well, I'm the one with the sound problems:  If I try to use any piece of software to change the volume or mute/unmute any channels, I can't, because the volume is locked at 100% for everything ad PCM is muted (and locked), thus I have no sound (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48936/); I'm using Gutsy
[09:46] <flibberdy> revilodraw: does dmesg say anything when you press the hotkeys?
[09:46] <mechanicus01> master_of_master enable it where?
[09:46] <MasterShrek> mechanicus01, system > administration > software sources
[09:47] <revilodraw> flibberdy: what is dmesg?
[09:47] <revilodraw> actysofts: check u r using the right sound device
[09:47] <flibberdy> revilodraw: it's a way of checking system output messages
[09:47] <ActySofts> revilodraw: I am
[09:48] <flibberdy> revilodraw: type: dmesg
[09:48] <ActySofts> I only got one, by onboard sound card is disabled from the bios
[09:48] <flibberdy> revilodraw: then press a key, and then run dmesg again, note any differences
[09:48] <flibberdy> s/key/hotkey
[09:48] <revilodraw> flibberdy; nope, no differences
[09:49] <flibberdy> that makes it a little bit trickier.. gimme a sec to check an old howto I have
[09:50] <david__> i go to var www but i cant delete the apaice ones
[09:50] <MasterShrek> revilodraw, open a terminal and type xev   mouse over the box that pops up and start hitting hotkeys, see if the messages in the terminal show keycodes for those keys, if so, note which keycodes go with which keys, then let me know
[09:51] <musikgoat> hi, server side, anyone know if you can just limit root access via ssh to only with a private key exchange?   other users should still be able to access with no changes?  I know of the apache.conf setting for blocking root, any suggestions for this?
[09:52] <flibberdy> revilodraw: check out the guide to using xev at: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_Multimedia_Keys I know it's gentoo but the basic concepts are the same ( i hope)
[09:52] <mechanicus01> master_of_master where do i access the apt get it?
[09:53] <MasterShrek> mechanicus01, open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install asterisk
[09:53] <flibberdy> by the dark one, it takes a long time to compile and package up a kernel in ubuntu :/
[09:53] <ActySofts> If I try to use any piece of software to change the volume or mute/unmute any channels, I can't, because the volume is locked at 100% for everything ad PCM is muted (and locked), thus I have no sound (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48936/); I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10) BTW.
[09:53] <david__>  13 any one can help me i am var www but i dont have permasion to delter put my
[09:54] <flibberdy> david__: sudo <whatever commands you want to use>
[09:54] <punkshui> Anyone familiar with gnome power management? I"m having battery recognition problems
[09:54] <mechanicus01> master_of_master tis now installing... :)
[09:54] <MasterShrek> ActySofts, just humor me and put your user in the audio group then log out and back in, i doubt its gonna work, but worth a shot
[09:54] <MasterShrek> mechanicus01, my name is MasterShrek :) good news though :)
[09:55] <david__> flibberdy i cant understand  can you exply
[09:55] <ActySofts> MasterShrek: it is there....
[09:55] <flibberdy> david__: type: sudo su
[09:55] <musikgoat> david__: sudo rm /var/www/fileyouwanttodelete
[09:55] <MasterShrek> hrm
[09:55] <MasterShrek> ActySofts, i got nothin then...
[09:56] <david__> sudo su not found it
[09:56] <david__> coman not found
[09:56] <david__> comand not found
[09:56] <Geoffrey2> whew....I finally found the command, hpet=disable, that I need to load ubuntu
[09:56] <Scusio> when i start the ubuntu live cd 6.06 and 7.10 it stops booting at the 2nd line: "Mounting boot...."
[09:56] <flibberdy> david__: what about sudo touch test ?
[09:57] <Geoffrey2> now, where do I need to place that kernel option so that it'll be used every time, even if a new kernel is installed?
[09:57] <ActySofts> sudo su? don't use 'su' with 'sudo'
[09:57] <flibberdy> ActySofts: gives you a root prompt
[09:57] <flibberdy> saves me quite a lot of excess typing
[09:58] <sunogbaga> su - switch user
[09:58] <ActySofts> root is disabled by def, use 'sudo -i' to get root
[09:58] <MasterShrek> Geoffrey2, /boot/grub/menu.list (or menu.lst cant remeber if theres an i or not) youll probably have to add the parameter manually whenever a new kernel is installed
[09:58] <david__> apache2-default can remove
[09:58] <dyce> hey, anyone familiar with mini images for games? (virtual cds and stuff)
[09:58] <_6StringKng_> compiled Pidgin, ran ./configure, make, sudo make install, then got this error
[09:59] <_6StringKng_> coty@6StringKng-Laptop:~/Desktop/pidgin-2.3.1$ pidgin
[09:59] <_6StringKng_> pidgin: error while loading shared libraries: libpurple.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[09:59] <Geoffrey2> ok, someone was telling me menu.lst was obsolete and had been replaced by something else.....
[09:59] <_6StringKng_> start up manager
[09:59] <MasterShrek> _6StringKng_, why did you compile it from source?
[09:59] <MasterShrek> Geoffrey2, i dont think so, but i dont know for sure i guess, i dont use ubuntu anymore
[09:59] <_6StringKng_> because I couldn't find a deb
[09:59] <sunogbaga> _6StringKng_: y install from source, when u couldve sudo apt-get install pidgin
[09:59] <musikgoat> _6StringKng_: install pidgin-dev i believe
[10:00] <MasterShrek> !info pidgin
[10:00] <ubotu> pidgin: graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X. In component main, is optional.  Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[10:00] <flibberdy> ok, i give up. For some absolutely bizarre reason I cannot get my wireless card working in ubuntu. The docs all say it's supported out of the box
[10:00] <_6StringKng_> great, all that work for nothing
[10:00] <MasterShrek> flibberdy, i dont have experience with the ipw2200.....wait.....try modprobe'ing ipw2200
[10:00] <mechanicus01> MasterShrek it finished installing , but i dont see it anywhere
[10:01] <musikgoat> _6StringKng_: if you want it, you just need libpurple
[10:01] <flibberdy> MasterShrek: ipw2200 is loaded already
[10:01] <MasterShrek> mechanicus01, i dont even know what its supposed to do, but its installed :P
[10:01] <MasterShrek> hrm
[10:01] <flibberdy> oh wait.. now it won't load
[10:01] <flibberdy> GAH
[10:01] <mechanicus01> yup,,, i installed asterisk
[10:01] <MasterShrek> sorry flibberdy, like i said ive never used one, my friend had one a while back, i seem to remember he needed firmware or soemthing, im sure if you google it youll find some :)
[10:01] <mechanicus01> restart cpu?
[10:01] <pavs> how can I check what services are running in my system?
[10:02] <musikgoat> pavs: ps -aux
[10:02] <MasterShrek> mechanicus01, what is aseterisk supposed to do?
[10:02] <musikgoat> or other variants
[10:02] <void^> _6StringKng_: you probably installed into /usr/local without having /usr/local/lib in your library path, or you didn't follow pidgin's installation instructions correctly.
[10:02] <sunogbaga> pavs: system -> administration -> services
[10:02] <pavs> musikgoat ps -aux list all the application I am running, right? I need service, ie apache.
[10:03] <mechanicus01> MasterShrek *sorry asterisk
[10:03] <ActySofts> I added myself to the audio group (again, 40000th time), no change
[10:03] <flibberdy> MasterShrek: yeah i downloaded the firmware.. but make always fails :/
[10:03] <pavs> sunogbaga i need command line specifically :)
[10:03] <_6StringKng_> hehe, it works, thanks musikgoatg
[10:03] <punkshui> anyone, battery problems?
[10:03] <_6StringKng_> musikgoat*
[10:03] <MasterShrek> flibberdy, i never heard of compiling firmware
[10:03] <_6StringKng_> all I needed was libpurple0
[10:03] <sunogbaga> pavs: ps aux
[10:03] <flibberdy> well, the firmware i've not got to yet
[10:03] <sunogbaga> pavs: or top
[10:03] <Scusio> when i start the ubuntu live cd 6.06 and 7.10 it stops booting at the 2nd line: "Mounting boot....(devices?)"
[10:03] <david__> hihi
[10:03] <flibberdy> i have to upgrade the ieee80211 stack before i can use the firmware
[10:04] <david__> ok
[10:04] <simion314> hi, in this new Gnomw version my windows have not a title bar:image  http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t224/simion314/Screenshot-1.png
[10:04] <musikgoat> _6StringKng_: your welcome
[10:04] <pavs> ok thanks
[10:04] <pavs> exit linuxhaxor.net
[10:04] <MasterShrek> flibberdy, how do you know? it may be updated now, its a pretty late kernel
[10:04] <david__> ok
[10:04] <Zenerek> well this blows according to a tutorial the only way to change the screen where your services are loading is to recomplie your kernel with a patch
[10:05] <void^> _6StringKng_: libpurple is part of pidgin, mixing different versions may cause problems (just keep that in mind when it crashes or behaves weirdly.)
[10:05] <musikgoat> heh, he's gone
[10:05] <musikgoat> anyone know if you can just limit root access via ssh to only with a private key exchange?   other users should still be able to access with no changes?  I know of the apache.conf setting for blocking root, any suggestions for this?
[10:08] <flibberdy> hmm.. i think i'mjust gonna reinstall ubuntu
[10:08] <punkshui> anyone know how to get gnome-power-management to recognize a battery?
[10:08] <MasterShrek> flibberdy, are you on a fresh install right now?
[10:09] <MasterShrek> punkshui, i never had a problem with it recognizing a battery before, how new of a laptop?
[10:09] <punkshui> about a year
[10:09] <punkshui> old
[10:09] <Stevethepirate> Hey.. if i have 4 gigs of ram
[10:09] <Stevethepirate> will ubuntu run fine on it?
[10:09] <MasterShrek> shouldnt have any problems....i wonder if you need to load some modules...
[10:10] <musikgoat> i think you would suffer from 32bit memory size problems?
[10:10] <MasterShrek> Stevethepirate, yes just fine, you need a 64 bit kernel or a custom compiled one to make use of more than 3 gigs of ram though
[10:10] <Stevethepirate> I'd like to avoid 64-bit
[10:10] <flibberdy> yes MasterShrek, installed via pxe and i think somethin went wrong
[10:10] <MasterShrek> the server kernel will make use of 3+ gigs of ram too, but it doesnt have a restricted drivers package if u need it
[10:10] <MasterShrek> Stevethepirate, can i ask why?
[10:10] <david__> i am var www but i dont have the permasion to delate a file what can i do
[10:10] <MasterShrek> flibberdy, its possible, ive never done it that way before
[10:10] <arooni> is there a free dyndns service that i can run on ubuntu?
[10:11] <MasterShrek> david__, use sudo
[10:11] <MasterShrek> !sudo | david__
[10:11] <Stevethepirate> MasterShrek: i'm getting a dell laptop with 4 gigs ram.
[10:11] <ubotu> david__: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:11] <Teknomancer> I installed Ubuntu (on a newly made JFS partition) on my second hard-disk's first partition... i did not install grub because i use a solaris' specialized grub, i have had no problems before adding ubuntu manually to solaris' grub, but this time i chose JFS and not reiser, I get an error saying unknown partition type 0x83 when i try to boot Ubuntu. Should I resintall as Reiser? or have i got my partitions numbers mixed up? (its /dev/sdb1 i use)
[10:11] <Stevethepirate> and it has a nvidia gfx card
[10:11] <david__> master i do that still i dont have persion
[10:11] <Stevethepirate> So restricted drivers are needed
[10:11] <MasterShrek> Stevethepirate, its not nessicary, you can use the drivers from nvidia's site, i always do
[10:11] <punkshui> MasterShrek recently I was trying to increase my battery life by unloading a few modules... but I also did some other stuff... It didn't reallly work so I undid it all... but since then, gnome-pm thinks i'm always on ac power
[10:11] <musikgoat> Stevethepirate: 32bit OS's cannot read past iirc 2.75GB of ram
[10:12] <david__> mastershrek i do that still i dont have permasion
[10:12] <MasterShrek> musikgoat, i think its 3.1 gigs with a default ubuntu kernel, you can custom compile one for highmem support though afaik
[10:13] <MasterShrek> david__, sudo gives you permission, you must be doing something wrong
[10:13] <musikgoat> i stand corrected ^_^
[10:13] <newbiee> canany one tell me how to make admin user from command line
[10:13] <ActySofts> sudo -i
[10:13] <newbiee> can any one tell me how to make admin user from command line
[10:13] <ActySofts> newbiee: sudo -i
[10:14] <Zenerek>  MasterShrek: maybe david's files are owned by root
[10:14] <MasterShrek> Zenerek, sudo will let him mess with them though
[10:15] <MyOriginalAlias> Hello everyone, I am trying to get conky to load when I startup, I tried adding it to sessions, but it didn work. Is there a file I can add it to?
[10:15] <flibberdy> blargh, not having a cdrom is full of fail
[10:15] <Zenerek> are you sure i remember sometimes i had to be root itself..
[10:15] <Teknomancer> anyone any ideas? this is how my grub entry looks: http://phpfi.com/284374

[10:18] <MyOriginalAlias> So no one knows whats up with this ugly box?
[10:19] <KusemeK> What ugly box?
[10:19] <flibberdy> ok, when i try and modprobe ipw2200 (my wireless nic driver) I get messages in demsg complaining about ieee80211 not being recognised, this is a kernel module, how do i get ubuntu to compile and install the module?
[10:19] <ratpoison> hello! If I install ATI 's new fglrx drivers w/ AIGLX support, will I have problems upgrading from gutsy to hardy? same question applies to KDE 4
[10:20] <MyOriginalAlias> KusemeK: I did a fresh install if 7.10 today and there has been this small pixelated white box appearing randomly in the very top right corner of my screen
[10:21] <ActySofts> If I try to use any piece of software to change the volume or mute/unmute any channels, I can't, because the volume is locked at 100% for everything ad PCM is muted (and locked), thus I have no sound (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48936/); I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10) BTW
[10:21] <Teknomancer> when i boot ubuntu from cd and run gparted, it shows /dev/sdb1 as the ubuntu partition, .
[10:22] <KusemeK> MyOriginalAlias: Weird... Tried looking at the running processes?
[10:22] <MyOriginalAlias> KusemeK: Yes, I don see anything out of the norm

[10:26] <mohamed> hello

[10:28] <mohamed> i just downloaded the new Nvidia driver from Nvidia website .... but  how can i install it in ubuntu ???????? file name NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run PLEASE HELP
[10:28] <d0d0d> hey there , anyone shoot me a clue of which packages contains modules.h (in /usr/include/linux)
[10:28] <Teknomancer> mohamed:  sh <filename.run>
[10:28] <MasterShrek> mohamed, you need to kill X first to run it though
[10:28] <punkshui> MasterShrek can you point me to a tutorial on how to do that?
[10:28] <Teknomancer> ah yeah
[10:28] <mohamed> sh: Can't open NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run
[10:28] <mohamed> how to kill it ?
[10:28] <Teknomancer> check if executable bit is set on .run perhaps
[10:28] <MasterShrek> punkshui, sudo modprobe ac, sudo modprobe battery.......ctrl+alt+backspace to restart X
[10:29] <david__> mastershrek  i dont have the permasion to delated

[10:29] <MasterShrek> mohamed, you are better of using the driver that ubuntu has though
[10:30] <MasterShrek> mohamed, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[10:30] <void^> d0d0d: should be part of your kernel headers
[10:30] <MasterShrek> kernel headers are not installed by default
[10:30] <Teknomancer> i set the swap partition type as logical, could that be the problem?
[10:31] <d0d0d> void^, yes it is , but i thought build-essential has it too ,
[10:31] <punkshui> Mastershrek battery still doesn't show up
[10:31] <d0d0d> void^, i dont wanna start doing symlinks

[10:40] <Usiu> Where I can download Ubuntu with latest xorg intel driver, because current 7.10 release has buggy commited driver. The fixed one is already in debian.
[10:41] <Usiu> I get black screen with Ubuntu installer
[10:41] <mohamed> am having problems with steam .... counterstrike always freezes while loading at the beggining .... maybe its the nvidia driver thing because before running CS it gives me a warning that i dont have the latest driver
[10:41] <Usiu> or whatever it comes up with
[10:41] <MyOriginalAlias> I am trying to boot my win part and it says unclean shutdown its on sda5 and it wont mount it?
[10:41] <MyOriginalAlias> Is this because its sata?
[10:41] <Usiu> MyOriginalAlias, dont preforme hard reset anymore
[10:42] <CroX> MasterShrek: You know the difference between moblock-ipq and moblock-nfq?
[10:43] <Tom0> hello everyone, is there anyone that can help me with information about accessibility?
[10:43] <MyOriginalAlias> Usiu: You are telling me my linux ditro has read a windows log, knows that I hard reseted my windows the last time I used it, and now I have to boot into windows and let it shut down correctly before I can mount it in ubuntu?
[10:43] <MasterShrek> i dont remeber CroX, youd have to google it or check on their website
[10:43] <Tom0> im looking for infomation about screen magnifiers
[10:43] <flibberdy> anyone know about setting up ipw2200 firmware in 7.10?
[10:43] <mohamed> whats the repo verstion Stevethepirate you there ?
[10:43] <CroX> MasterShrek: Alright. Thanks anyway
[10:43] <Chris|> Tom0 compiz has a plugin that magnifies the screen
[10:44] <Tom0> thats right, i was wondering if i could speak to some1 more deeply about this plug in
[10:44] <Chris|> well its fairly simple Tom0 do you have compiz installed?
[10:44] <Tom0> no i dont
[10:44] <MyOriginalAlias> I find this a little crazy
[10:45] <Chris|> try enabling desktop effects system > administration >
[10:45] <Chris|> if so install the driver and then using synaptic install compiz-settings-manager
[10:45] <flibberdy> does apt-get have the ability to install new/different kernels?
[10:45] <Usiu> MyOriginalAlias, its possible
[10:46] <Chris|> flibberdy i think so
[10:46] <Tom0> i hDoes the zoom plug in have colour enhancements, like invert brightness for example?
[10:46] <Tom0> or does it just zoom in
[10:46] <Chris|> it zooms in
[10:46] <Chris|> using the super button (windows log button) and the scroll bar
[10:47] <Chris|> or super button + 1 button or 2, 3
[10:47] <Tom0> how many times are you able to zoom in?
[10:47] <Chris|> pretty far
