[20:15] <xand_> hi everyone, is there a way for rsync to show the 'global progress' of a transfer, for instance, '-P' option gives me progress for individual files
[20:16] <pietrubens> for a newbe in this wonderful world, what would be the most recomended: install Linux itself or Ubuntu or maybe even only Gnome?
[20:16] <justin_> hey, i need to mount an ntfs file system into ubuntu, i couldnt find anything in help.ubuntu.com anyone know how?
[20:16] <scguy318> !ntfs-3g | justin_
[20:16] <ubotu> justin_: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[20:16] <thegooner> genni, please could repeat the scan disk process for xp
[20:16] <bruenig> pietrubens, installing linux itself is completely unusable
[20:16] <Ayabara> anyone with a PS3 here? is it doable to stream music and videos from Ubuntu to a PS3?
[20:16] <cheeby> what about Opera on x86_64 arch?
[20:16] <pietrubens> ok
[20:16] <bruenig> pietrubens, you at least need the gnu stuff to get some semblance of a workable machien
[20:16] <brobostigon> linux is only the kernel
[20:16] <pietrubens> i think i start seeing some light here
[20:17] <LibTech> pietrubens: Ubuntu is an easy place to start.
[20:17] <lex0> can someone answer some questions for me in private chat?
[20:17] <bruenig> !pm | lex0
[20:17] <ubotu> lex0: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[20:17] <scguy318> lex0: in any case, you're not registered, so you cannot send/receive PMs
[20:17] <pietrubens> linux is actually the platform which i will use to create desktop program, while ubuntu is a steady one already
[20:17] <i3ear> GAH
[20:17] <pietrubens> bassicley
[20:17] <genii> thegooner: For XP:     go to dos box (Command Prompt)   then:    chkdsk c:\ /F              the /F makes it scan next reboot before the OS starts using it much. So you need to reboot after that and it will run before login next time
[20:17] <punkshui> th0r, i'm back but... i got an error and am using the livecd again
[20:17] <i3ear> I need help connecting to a shared folder on an XP Machine
[20:17] <i3ear> What the hell do I do
[20:18] <th0r> punkshui did grub start up?
[20:18] <i3ear> I am a linux n00b btw
[20:18] <punkshui> th0r yeah no problem there
[20:18] <scguy318> i3ear: assuming that you're using GNOME, should be a matter of Places -> Network
[20:18] <pike_> pietrubens: so you have the kernel which varies a bit disto to distro then the distro and user environment then you gui or desktop envirionment which can be gnome or even a simple window manager like fluxbox
[20:18] <th0r> punkshui did you see ubuntu start up?
[20:18] <i3ear> Tried that
[20:18] <i3ear> Wont' see my folder
[20:18] <MrObvious> !samba | i3ear
[20:18] <ubotu> i3ear: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[20:18] <Starnestommy> is the windows machine set up correctly?
[20:18] <punkshui> th0r no right after grub it said starting stage 2 and then said can't mount partition
[20:18] <MrObvious> If you haven't already i3ear
[20:19] <i3ear> I haven't
[20:19] <i3ear> thank you
[20:19] <i3ear> :D
[20:19] <MrObvious> YW!
[20:19] <thegooner> thanks genii. iwill re-boot now and see wot happens.
[20:19] <th0r> punkshui yeah...that's what I was afraid of...when you reinstalled the partitions you nuked the ubuntu install. the only way I can see to fix it is going to be to reinstall ubuntu
[20:19] <pietrubens> i have had more answers in 10 minutes here then a whole afternoon on the net
[20:20] <brobostigon> pietrubens: welcome
[20:20] <punkshui> th0r well i'm not sure... i just reinstalled ubuntu (twice today) and load my share partition.. are you sure it's not trying to load the wrong partition?
[20:21] <punkshui> th0r, sorry not shared partition... i restored my root partition from a saved partition image... using partimage
[20:21] <kwk> Hi, I want to use the brightness applet on my notebook but it does nothing. Any ideads?
[20:21] <lex0> hi could someone help me with installing downloaded programs in a private chat?
[20:21] <swuboo> kwk:  Are you using the nvidia driver?
[20:21] <punkshui> th0r also i saved the boot folder from the fresh install.
[20:21] <karen_> Hi, Why isnt evolutions search not returning any matches. Is it a known bug
[20:21] <kwk> swuboo: yes
[20:21] <brobostigon> lex0: apt-get install progname
[20:21] <th0r> punkshui according to the fdisk paste linux has to be on /dev/sda4, which is hd0,3. What I think happened is when you restored th epartition image you restored the old partition data and that is the problem
[20:21] <pietrubens> thanks for the help, and sorry to bother you with these basic questions
[20:21] <swuboo> kwk:  Try running nvidia-settings.  You can control screen brightness and such from in there.
[20:22] <th0r> punkshui but remember I know nothing of mac...so am working off half-knowledge here
[20:22] <lex0> brobostigon, for example how would i install beryl?
[20:22] <lex0> it can never find the directory
[20:23] <punkshui> th0r i think this is a full ubuntu problem.. my boot menu still works fine ... offering me ubuntu and os x
[20:23] <MrObvious> lex0: Enable desktop effects.
[20:23] <Starnestommy> lex0: I think beryl has been deprecated in favor of compiz-fusion
[20:23] <MrMist> Hi guys
[20:23] <brobostigon> lex0: beryl no longer exists, its compiz-fusion, so it could be sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion
[20:23] <MrObvious> !apt | lex0
[20:23] <ubotu> lex0: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[20:23] <marko-_-> hi... when i turn on my pc it says it will run on low graphic mode... what should i do ? everything worked fine with my graphic card until today... please help :(
[20:23] <swuboo> kwk:  Once you've got everything set up the way you like it in nvidia-settings, add the command, "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" to your startup commands under Preferences, Sessions.
[20:23] <punkshui> th0r, so saving that boot menu from the fresh install didn't do any good.
[20:23] <ASTX813> Does Ubuntu have an equivalent to the windows "append these DNS sufixes" setting?  I'm having a problem where "nslookup machine" fails but "nslookup machine.mylocal.net" works.
[20:23] <swuboo> kwk:  As soon as you log into Gnome, the settings will automatically load up and set your brightness/color settings.
[20:23] <MrMist> I need some help with apt... I've just updated to gutsy, and now everything is broken. I'm trying to run apt-get autoremove, but then it starts to INSTALL xemacs21. What can I do ?
[20:23] <PriceChild> ASTX813, /etc/hosts ?
[20:23] <MrObvious> ASTX813: Are your DNS servers not sticking right?
[20:24] <kwk> swuboo: thx forgot about that tool
[20:24] <ASTX813> I think I just need to tell it that my local network is .mylocal.net
[20:24] <th0r> punkshui I agree...it is only the ubuntu that is the problem. The reason grub works now is that we reinstalled it. but it is still working off 'pre-partition-reinstall; information...I think
[20:24] <i3ear> Quesion
[20:24] <kwk> swuboo: I forgot about it
[20:24] <lex0> thank you
[20:24] <MrObvious> MrMist: Post a log to pastebin of what the commandline looks like.
[20:24] <i3ear> I have a Foxconn MB
[20:24] <marko-_-> hi... when i turn on my pc it says it will run on low graphic mode... what should i do ? everything worked fine with my graphic card until today... please help :(
[20:24] <swuboo> kwk:  About nvidia-settings?   I'm trying to find where I can remove information for an old wireless connection I had. the settings are wrong and I can't seem to overwrite the old settings when I redo them, so I just want to manually edit them or remove it... Any ideas?
[20:24] <MrMist> MrObvious: the command line?? It looks like "sudo apt-get autoremove"
[20:24] <th0r> punkshui you are on the livecd now?
[20:25] <ArthurArchnix> !medibuntu
[20:25] <MrObvious> ASTX813: Hmm It should work. IDK exactly sorry.
[20:25] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[20:25] <swuboo> kwk:  Like I said, just get things the way you want them, and have GNOME run nvidia-settings --load-config-only when you login.  Easy as pie.
[20:25] <i3ear> Is there a list of incompatable hardware?
[20:25] <marko-_-> does noone know :/
[20:25] <punkshui> th0r yes.. livecd
[20:25] <i3ear> That eitehr runs liek ass or plain doesnt' work with Ubutnu?
[20:25] <halfshell> !wpa_supplicant
[20:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wpa_supplicant - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:25] <MrObvious> MrMist: I mean what does apt say? I need a log to help you.  Copy/paste everything

[20:27] <punkshui> th0r the root lines all say (hd0,1)
[20:28] <Beelze> anyone know why can´t switch to 16 bit color mode if i change that in the xorg.conf file?
[20:28] <th0r> punkshui they all need to say 0,3...do you know how to use vi?
[20:28] <PriceChild> Beeboob, did you restart X afterwards?
[20:28] <Beelze> yeah
[20:28] <punkshui> th0r no, sorry
[20:28] <marko-_-> MrObvious, nvidia
[20:28] <MrObvious> Beeboob: Maybe your drivers got removed somehow.
[20:28] <Beelze> but then it'start with the low grafik mode
[20:28] <ASTX813> MrObvious Oh, I'm dumb, it was pretty stupid.  In the Network applet, I hadn't set the domain name on the dns tab.
[20:28] <th0r> punkshui ok...one step at a time....type 'sudo vi /media/boot/grub/menu.lst;
[20:28] <MrObvious> marko-_-: Try reinstalling the Nvidia drivers
[20:29] <marko-_-> i did
[20:29] <MrObvious> !nvidia

[20:29] <punkshui> th0r ok
[20:29] <marko-_-> the drivers from their homepage editing the xorg manualy trying the drivers in synaptic...
[20:29] <Mikeee> am I the only one having problems getting ntp to work on gutsy? ntpd is up running, contacting the servers every minute, but never updating the time
[20:29] <th0r> punkshui you should be in the editor now looking at that file. Press 'i' and the word 'Insert' should appear at the bottom left if I remember right
[20:30] <MrObvious> marko-_-: What's the output of cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep nv (you can paste it here)?
[20:30] <marko-_-> # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
[20:30] <marko-_-> # nvidia-xconfig:  version 1.0  (buildmeister@builder3)  Wed Sep 12 14:29:35 PDT 2007
[20:30] <marko-_->     Driver         "nvidia"
[20:30] <MrObvious> Hmm that's odd marko-_-
[20:30] <punkshui> th0r umm, i pressed i and nothing happened so i pressed it again. now i have (hd0,1i)
[20:30] <marko-_-> what should i do :s
[20:31] <marko-_-> it's driving me crazy i managed to work it with the drivers from their homepage
[20:31] <marko-_-> but when i reboot the pc
[20:31] <MrObvious> marko-_-: What resolution do you usually use? It may be a wiped out xorg.conf that needs to be edited.
[20:31] <slliness> hello does anyone know if cyba pci esata cars are supported under the newest linux kernel
[20:31] <marko-_-> it's again low graphic mode and stuff...
[20:31] <slliness> in ubuntu
[20:31] <th0r> punkshui yeah..one too many 'i's...no problem. you are in insert mode, you should be able to use th ecursor keys and insert delete keys to take out the 1 (and the i) and put in a 3
[20:31] <jaggy_> maybe not the right channel but still : how do i set a get lvl parameter to 1 ?
[20:31] <slliness> *cards
[20:31] <Azag> hola
[20:31] <chazco_> Anyone know how to get a Cisco Aironet 342 card to connect to a WPA network?

[20:32] <slop> anyone pretty familiar with proftpd?
[20:32] <marko-_-> when i reboot i get to 800x?600?(i think)
[20:32] <punkshui> th0r okay when i pushed the arrow keys it inserts 'C' and 'D' in separate lines about the root line
[20:32] <kasansweat> I'm trying it now--but say I ssh from "home" to "box1"  then from "box1" to "box2" -- If X forwarding is enabled, will the box2 app open up in box1 or home?
[20:32] <MrObvious> marko-_-: Okay do a gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and let me know when loaded.
[20:33] <slliness> MrObvious, did nt work
[20:33] <marko-_-> what.. why should i do that? i'm now at 1280x1024
[20:33] <th0r> punkshui must have a strange keyboard. OK...just press ESCape key
[20:33] <MrMist> MrObvious: Any place I can upload a file? It's like 2000 lines
[20:33] <marko-_-> but if i'll reboot the pc i know i'll get back to 800x600
[20:33] <MrObvious> MrMist: Do a pastebin.
[20:33] <MrObvious> !pastebin | MrMist
[20:33] <punkshui> th0r okay now it seems like i can't do any more damage

[20:34] <lex0> when i upgraded my computer to ubuntu i can not get my speakers working, any ideas?
[20:34] <MrObvious> marko-_-: There's a channel devoted to just that here, lemme find it in ubotu.
[20:34] <th0r> punkshui  now  type q! and that should exit the editor without saving
[20:34] <marko-_-> i can set it back to 1280x1024 and i can manage to get the nvidia driver work only with the driver from their page... but when i reboot my pc i get back to low graphic mode.

[20:35] <th0r> punkshui  that should put you in gedit...a gui editor that should be easy to use
[20:36] <th0r> punkshui  sorry should have done this in the first place
[20:36] <MrObvious> MrMist: Try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and see if that helps.
[20:36] <punkshui> th0r no worries.. okay now change the 1s to 3s?
[20:36] <th0r> right...they should all read '(hd0,3)'
[20:36] <marko-_-> MrObvious, i didn't explained myself good :p the graphic card doesn't work... i can make it work with the driver (only with that driver! in the past i didn't needed that driver.. if you get me) from their homepage... + i can set the resolution mode back to normall... but if i reboot the pc i start again with low graphic mode with no driver for my graphic card and a lower resolution.
[20:37] <th0r> punkshui  should have thought to check this the first time...sorry
[20:37] <MrMist> MrObvious: I just updated today...
[20:37] <punkshui> th0r okay is that all?
[20:37] <Shadow98> I need some information on Ubuntu and Paltalk please
[20:37] <MrObvious> marko-_-: Hmm. I wonder if the xorg.conf is getting wiped out. I really don't know. Sorry :(
[20:37] <marko-_-> ok, thanks anyway
[20:37] <marko-_-> it's weird because
[20:38] <ph|ber> can anyone tell me wtf is wrong with sudo???  i have my user in sudoers to be able to su with no passwd.. but yet it still ask me..
[20:38] <marko-_-> everything worked fine... until tomorow i shut down my pc today i turn it on
[20:38] <marko-_-> boom!
[20:38] <bluefox83> marko-_-, add the module to /etc/modules
[20:38] <marko-_-> low resolution :D
[20:38] <MrMist> MrObvious: It doesn't do the trick
[20:38] <th0r> punkshui  yup...try another reboot. (keeping my fingers crossed)
[20:38] <punkshui> th0r just the threes to ones? now save and exit? no need for apologies i appreciate your time, its very nice of you
[20:38] <Starnestommy> ph|ber, su and sudo are different programs
[20:38] <punkshui> th0r alright.. see ya on the flip side
[20:38] <ph|ber> im doing sudo su -
[20:38] <th0r> punkshui  ones to threes...not threes to ones!
[20:38] <MrObvious> MrMist: What does sudo apt-get remove eielo do?
[20:38] <marko-_-> bluefox83, how do i do that ?
[20:38] <punkshui> th0r ;) that's what i meant
[20:38] <MrObvious> *eieio
[20:39] <th0r> hehe
[20:39] <mannytu> !sudo

[20:39] <Tobias92> Could anybody give me a hint as to what tv-input card I could use in combination with MythTV? It has to be able to read from a coax cable input.
[20:39] <bluefox83> marko-_-, open it with an editor, likely something like "sudo vim /etc/modules" and add the name of the video driver to the file and save it :)
[20:39] <Tobias92> With ubuntu that is
[20:39] <MrObvious> Err Professor_K: K3b

[20:40] <bluefox83> tobias, mythtv has an entire wiki page dedicated to listing all the different cards work with it...
[20:40] <marko-_-> bluefox83, luckily i made a backup of modules (don't know why... really) and i looked at the backup and there's nothing like that in it... ?
[20:41] <tobias> bluefox83: ?
[20:41] <marko-_-> fuse
[20:41] <bluefox83> marko-_-, yeah, that's why you need to add it
[20:41] <marko-_-> lp
[20:41] <ph|ber> mannytu: that did not answer my question
[20:41] <marko-_-> only this is in it.
[20:41] <Megaqwerty> what's a .qm file?
[20:41] <Shadow98> I need some information on Ubuntu and Paltalk please
[20:41] <marko-_-> bluefox83, i should just add 'nv' or 'nvidia' or what ?
[20:41] <Professor_K> MrObvious: the package name is k3b?
[20:41] <bluefox83> marko-_-, yeah, add nvidia
[20:41] <marko-_-> i did
[20:41] <marko-_-> and now ?
[20:41] <bluefox83> marko-_-, /etc/modules is a list of modules for the kernel to load on bootup, that's all
[20:41] <MrObvious> Professor_K: k3b Lowercase K.
[20:42] <MrMist> MrObvious: hmm... it seems to have installed now...
[20:42] <marko-_-> ok thanks
[20:42] <Professor_K> MrObvious: ok thanks
[20:42] <MrObvious> MrMist: It was just a bad dependency. Glad it worked out. :)
[20:42] <marko-_-> bluefox83, should i restart my X now ?
[20:42] <bluefox83> marko-_-, next time you reboot, it shoudl know to load the nvidia driver automatically :)
[20:42] <marko-_-> ok
[20:42] <marko-_-> brb
[20:42] <MrObvious> bluefox83: marko-_- That's weird.
[20:42] <Shadow98> I need some information on Ubuntu and Paltalk please
[20:42] <MrMist> MrObvious: But what was eieio ?
[20:42] <bluefox83> marko-_-, no, it wont have any baring on X, you'd need to restart the machine
[20:42] <bluefox83> and he's gone >.>
[20:42] <MrObvious> bluefox83: That is weird that the nvidia driver won't load automatically.
[20:43] <MrObvious> *NVidia
[20:43] <MrObvious> MrMist: Some dependency.
[20:43] <Scunizi> I'm trying to resize an avi to 320x240 with mencoder using "mencoder file.nave -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:trell \ -vf scale=320:240 -o newfile.name" but it's balking with "No audio encoder (-oac) selected". Nothing found on mplayers site to help.. Anyone have knowledge on how to accomplish this?
[20:43] <MrObvious> !info eieio
[20:43] <ubotu> eieio: Enhanced Implementation of Emacs Interpreted Objects. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.0pre4-2 (gutsy), package size 121 kB, installed size 412 kB
[20:43] <bluefox83> MrObvious, yeah, but i've had that issue before, it's easy to fix :)
[20:43] <MrObvious> bluefox83: Noted for that.
[20:43] <MrObvious> bluefox83: So what exactly do you add to /etc/modules for future reference?
[20:44] <bluefox83> MrObvious, any time you have a driver that wont load on reboot, put it in /etc/modules and it'll fix you right up =)
[20:44] <Professor_K> is it ok to install a lot of kde programs on gnome? :S I already have amarok and krita, and now I'm getting k3b..
[20:44] <bluefox83> MrObvious, the name of the module
[20:44] <bluefox83> Professor_K, yeah, i use amarok, k3b and kopete
[20:44] <howlingmadhowie> Professor_K: once you have one program installed, you already have the necessary libraries
[20:44] <Djerkaf> Does anyone know how to make Ubuntu work on a pc with bios age 1999 ?
[20:45] <marko-_-> back
[20:45] <howlingmadhowie> Djerkaf: what sort of problems are you getting? things life acpi=force?
[20:45] <marko-_-> and it didn't worked :s
[20:45] <bluefox83> Djerkaf, same as any other pc bios
[20:45] <marko-_-> bluefox83,
[20:45] <MrObvious> bluefox83: I mean do you just add "nvidia" to /etc/modules? I've dealt with that before as I have some modules like ndiswrapper I need on boot.
[20:45] <riaal> bluefox83: check privat
[20:45] <marko-_-> i'm back with low resolution and no graphic driver:P
[20:45] <Denyerec> Is there an actual known issue with Windows->Ubuntu printing not working
[20:45] <bluefox83> marko-_-, that's because it was for a system reboot, NOT X
[20:46] <Denyerec> ]Because none of the tutorials worked, and editing the samba config didn't work
[20:46] <marko-_-> i rebootet the system
[20:46] <MrObvious> Professor_K: Yes it's okay. It's not installing KDE just a small package.
[20:46] <stalker> i installed kde4 and now update menager show that i have "partial upgrade". however, when i start it, it drop with an error that packages are not authenticated? any workaround?
[20:46] <Tobias92> Could anybody please recommend me a good video capturing device that works with mythtv and ubuntu? I'm thinking about buying one
[20:46] <bluefox83> MrObvious, yes nvidia
[20:46] <MrObvious> bluefox83: Noted. :)
[20:46] <marko-_-> rebooted*
[20:46] <MrObvious> marko-_-: Did it work?
[20:46] <marko-_-> no
[20:46] <marko-_-> i'm back with low resolution and no graphic driver:P
[20:46] <thedoor> hi guys
[20:46] <hdevalence> Can someone help me solve this http://pastebin.com/m160b3416 ?
[20:46] <Denyerec> Also - is there a known issue with Sendmail generating horseshit messages on bootup for no apparent reason?
[20:46] <bluefox83> marko-_-, run lsmod | grep nvidia
[20:46] <MrObvious> !language | Denyerec
[20:46] <ubotu> Denyerec: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[20:46] <Djerkaf> howlingmadhowie: I have tried acpi=force, noacpi, among others, but haven't got it to work. The installation freezes when it's about to start the partitioning.  Have also tried to install Xubuntu, and it freezes when it's about to identify the disk format
[20:46] <thedoor> if i compile another kernel version in my machine the restricted drivers manager will continue working?
[20:47] <Denyerec> I'll remain family friendly if Ubuntu will... >:|
[20:47] <Starnestommy> thedoor, they most likely would
[20:47] <Professor_K> yeah but I heard that some people don't like to install kde programs on gnome, is it because they don't want to install a lot of dependencies or because they're fanatics?
[20:47] <MrObvious> hdevalence: What are you trying to do exactly?
[20:48] <hdevalence> MrObvious: compile KDE
[20:48] <cosmodad> Professor_K: either could be true. A friend of mine just doesn't like having KDE windows run in his GNOME environment for visual reasons.
[20:48] <Denyerec> Why would my login prompt be in all uppercase letters ?
[20:48] <bluefox83> marko-_-, my guess is that you probably have multiple copies of the nvidia driver installed, go through and uninstall ALL of them, don't remove the /etc/modules listing, then when you can do "sudo modprobe nvidia" and get an error that there's no nvidia driver, you can reinstall ONE
[20:48] <cosmodad> Professor_K: running
[20:49] <howlingmadhowie> Professor_K: all the dependencies are installed the first time you install a kde-package
[20:49] <Denyerec> My login / directory lists / everything at the console is in uppercase
[20:49] <Denyerec> both user input and system output.
[20:49] <MrObvious> hdevalence: Try installing apt-file and running sudo apt-file update then sudo apt-file search (filename) to find which package a certain file is in. However I'm not sure you need to compile KDE4 to get it to run. Surely you can just install some debs (which should be much cleaner).
[20:50] <cosmodad> Professor_K: personally, I find it hard to keep a uni-{KDE|GNOME} system only. And since you already have at least one KDE app, the deps are already there.
[20:50] <lex0> Could someone help me fix my sound? i have sound blaster USB...
[20:50] <hdevalence> MrObvious: I'm downloading the SVN
[20:50] <marko-_-_> I'm sorry bluefox83 but i got disconnected... what should i type in the console again ?
[20:50] <lex0> i went to sound under preference but no go
[20:50] <bluefox83> lex0, you have a usb coundcard? ouch....
[20:50] <Professor_K> cosmodad: well I think Rythmbox sucks so I can't help it :S
[20:50] <Professor_K> :
[20:50] <bluefox83> marko-_-, go through and uninstall all of the different versions of nvidia
[20:50] <MrObvious> marko-_-: lsmod | grep nv
[20:51] <cosmodad> Professor_K: my impression is that amaroK is just ultra-awesome. :)
[20:51] <hdevalence> Professor_K: amarok2 will be awesome when it's done
[20:51] <bluefox83> MrObvious, no!
[20:51] <lex0> yes...it worked nice with windows
[20:51] <marko-_-_> nvidia               3932108  0
[20:51] <marko-_-_> agpgart                35016  1 nvidia
[20:51] <bluefox83> not nv
[20:51] <marko-_-_> this is my outpot
[20:51] <marko-_-_> output*
[20:51] <MrObvious> bluefox83: It tells you what you want. :p
[20:51] <bluefox83> marko-_-, uninstall your nvidia driver, in every spot you installed it
[20:51] <marko-_-_> hm
[20:51] <marko-_-_> ok
[20:52] <marko-_-_> how do i uninstall the driver i downloaded from their homepage ?
[20:52] <Professor_K> hdevalence: how about the next version of rythmbox? :P or a good alternative for gnome to make kde lovers jalous :P
[20:52] <bluefox83> marko-_-, whether you installed it from a copy off the nvidia site, through the ubuntu installer thingy, or whatever, uninstall them all
[20:52] <mannytu> http://somafm.com/ makes Rythmbox better...
[20:52] <MrObvious> hdevalence: Here's how to install it via debs it seems:
[20:52] <marko-_-_> bluefox83, how do i do that?
[20:52] <hdevalence> Professor_K: by the time rb catches up to amarok 1.4 , amarok 2 will be out
[20:52] <cosmodad> mannytu: isn't that just internet radio?
[20:52] <MrObvious> hdevalence: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php
[20:53] <mannytu> yes
[20:53] <bluefox83> marko-_-, uhm...i think it's like... ./installername --remove
[20:53] <hdevalence> MrObvious: I want the SVN version though.
[20:53] <Patogen> http://web.archive.org/web/20050325235134/http://www.starbreaker.net/gallery/screens/ob3-biomechanical.png loook at that screen -- how does he add the title "matthew"? (Openbox, either menu or by hand ...)
[20:53] <marko-_-_> oh and bluefox83 my card is listed in the restricted drivers modules and it says that it's used.
[20:53] <cosmodad> mannytu: I doubt this will make rb much better. ;)
[20:53] <bluefox83> marko-_-, i don't know what version of the nvidia installer you are using, so just replace the name
[20:53] <MrObvious> hdevalence: Well hopefully apt-file will work out for you. I've used it in the past when compiling E17 and it's nice.
[20:53] <bluefox83> marko-_-, be sure to remove it there too
[20:53] <marko-_-_> ok
[20:53] <hdevalence> MrObvious: thanks for the help. I'm guessing apt-file update takes a while the first time?
[20:54] <MrObvious> hdevalence: Yup.
[20:55]  * bluefox83 wonders why MrObvious compiled e17 when there is a ubuntu download source repository for it...
[20:55] <mannytu> i think you can also pull the music off your ipod...
[20:55] <marko-_-_> bluefox83, and what if i don't have the file anymore ? (the driver from their page)
[20:55] <bluefox83> marko-_-, redownload it, and use that one
[20:55]  * MrObvious goes for some coffee
[20:56] <marko-_-_> ok
[20:56] <bluefox83> marko-_-, you are basically looking at multiple copies of the same driver, all trying to load at once, and the system can only have one, so none are getting through

[20:58] <aBi90> anyone can tell me how to install perl?
[20:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about po - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:58] <Denyerec> I get this message printed on screen ever 2-3 minutes
[20:58] <aBi90> i get sooo pissed
[20:58] <Denyerec> without logging in. If I log in, then the message gets printed over the top of whatever Im doing.
[20:58] <genii> Denyerec: sudo dpkg-reconfigure sendmail                  and put in some options that may work for your setup
[20:58] <bluefox83> aBi90, perl is already installed on ubuntu systems when you first launch it
[20:58] <Denyerec> Mm, ok I will try
[20:59] <mannytu> wow
[20:59] <aBi90> where is it ? :S
[20:59] <aBi90> i miss my peeerl
[20:59] <Starnestommy> aBi90, /usr/bin/perl?
[20:59] <Xintrude1> does any of you advanced linux (ubuntu) users remember these trouble shooting commands from the top of your heads?
[20:59] <Xintrude1> and the paths
[20:59] <Denyerec> genii - should that load a configuration manager, or am I supposed to supply a bunch of commandline arguements ?
[21:00] <marko-_-_> bluefox83, that isn't the command... and in the help option there is no 'remove' command listed
[21:00] <genii> Denyerec: It has a bunch of text menus it somewhat guides you through
[21:00] <i3ear> Flash video causes firefox to crash
[21:00] <Denyerec> I did not get that genii

[21:00] <i3ear> I installed Adobe flash player

[21:00] <marko-_-_> so brb
[21:00] <i3ear> Then Javascript
[21:00] <Tobias92> Nobody has got experience with a tv card on ubuntu?

[21:00] <i3ear> through the "add/remove"  windows
[21:01] <i3ear> and now
[21:01] <Starnestommy> i3ear, I think there's a problem with Adobe's installer
[21:01] <i3ear> And it still didnt'w ork
[21:01] <bluefox83> marko-_-, do lsmod | grep nvidia
[21:01] <genii> Denyerec: Hmm.  Does the result of command: apt-cache policy sendmail              show some stars (asterisks) next to a version of sendmail?
[21:01] <i3ear> so I installed the other flash player
[21:01] <i3ear> thing

[21:02] <bluefox83> marko-_-, ok i suppose you can restart, but you'll likely have just basic nv, and not the 3d driver

[21:03] <Denyerec> don't know which name that is :)
[21:03] <ikonia> daffa: ah
[21:03] <genii> Denyerec: That it keeps wanting to restart indicates a misconfiguration where it loads then fails etc etc.

[21:03] <Starnestommy> aBi90, what error do you get when you try to run a perl script?
[21:04] <ikonia> tanath: 1.) think about what you've done/changed 2.) look at what is lagging, PC in general, just the net, just music etc 3.) start narrowing it down with tools (we can do that once you've answered the first two questions)
[21:04] <tanath> ikonia, pc in general
[21:04] <Tyczek> tyczek@tyczek-laptop:~$ lastmp
[21:04] <Tyczek> lastmp: could not find config

[21:04] <Tyczek> it was configuring after install ;/

[21:04] <i3ear> Whell alright
[21:04] <i3ear> how do I get rid of my current javascript
[21:04] <i3ear> and flash
[21:04] <i3ear> shit
[21:04] <tanath> ikonia, seems to have happened after a reboot. might have been that i changed my firewall script
[21:04] <tanath> ikonia, i only have ubuntu
[21:04] <MrPockets> so i tried to install ubuntu 7.10 on my seccondary IDE HDD
[21:05] <ikonia> tanath: what are you using for a firewall ?
[21:05] <MrPockets> and it got 97% then said "could not execute grub hda-o this is a fatal erroe" and closed
[21:05] <marko-_-> bluefox83, i rebooted, and now ?
[21:05] <tanath> ikonia, was using killerwall, but lost the script, so found another called 'ubuntu-firewall'
[21:05] <crazycalvin> i3ear: good question wish i knew as well
[21:05] <aBi90> i havent tried to run one yet.. just wanted to open it..
[21:05] <marko-_-> bluefox83, i got no 'low graphic mode' so it's a step up:)
[21:05] <tanath> ikonia, both use iptables
[21:05] <bluefox83> marko-_-, you didn't load the nvidia driver manually did you?
[21:05] <Ubuntubruger5> kan ikke logge på mit trådløse netwærk med wba-psk og aes datakrybtering

[21:06] <Starnestommy> i3ear, go to about:plugins in firefox
[21:06] <aBi90> dosnt work
[21:06] <marko-_-> i don't get you bluefox83 ...
[21:06] <ikonia> tanath I have no idea about those scripts. The PC lagging is either going to be 1.) lack of graphics power (drive issues are common) 2.) lack of RAM (something eating it) 3.) cpu maxed out
[21:06] <bluefox83> marko-_-, do lsmod | grep nvidia
[21:06] <aBi90> sais it is installed..
[21:06] <aBi90> says*
[21:06] <nikin> hy... is there any way to make the Flash plugin use both of my CPU-s?
[21:06] <marko-_-> nvidia               3932108  0
[21:06] <marko-_-> agpgart                35016  1 nvidia
[21:06] <tanath> ikonia, the new script is simpler, so i thought it'd be faster, but it might be blocking something that killerwall wasn't
[21:06] <ikonia> tanath: anything you can think of likley to effect any of those
[21:06] <i3ear> Alright
[21:06] <ikonia> tanath: ok, well first thing is to disable it
[21:06] <i3ear> what am I looking for?
[21:06] <bluefox83> marko-_-, looks like you removed your conflicting driver, it should now work...
[21:07] <marko-_-> yes should i enable
[21:07] <bluefox83> yes
[21:07] <marko-_-> the driver in restricted modules ?
[21:07] <bluefox83> no
[21:07] <marko-_-> because
[21:07] <tanath> ikonia, wouldn't be gpu or cpu. would only be ram if there's a memory leak or some such
[21:07] <marko-_-> when i installed gutsy i just enabled the driver in there
[21:07] <marko-_-> and it worked fine...
[21:07] <bluefox83> because that's another copy of the driver
[21:07] <tanath> ikonia, it's been fine until recently
[21:07] <aBi90> ftp sucks
[21:07] <ikonia> tanath: the question is what changed on recently
[21:07] <marko-_-> so bluefox83 what then ?
[21:07] <bluefox83> just leave it as-is
[21:07] <ikonia> tanath: before using detail tools, you could try enabling the gnome monitors for RAM/CPU on the gnome pannel
[21:07] <marko-_-> huh
[21:08] <bluefox83> enable your affects :)
[21:08] <Denyerec> genii = where are the shutdown messages stored ?
[21:08] <marko-_-> ok
[21:08] <tanath> ikonia, the only thing i suspect ATM is the firewall
[21:08] <ikonia> tanath: doesn't tell you much but gives you a base idea where to drill down
[21:08] <Denyerec> EG, the text that scrolls up when you shutdown the machine
[21:08] <tanath> k

[21:08] <bluefox83> ...
[21:08] <trafalgar> how do you redirect the output of bunzip2 to a different volume than the one containing the .bz2 file?
[21:08] <marko-_-> i'll enable it :P
[21:08] <bluefox83> fine, go ahead and enable it...i don't think it'll work though

[21:10] <genii> Denyerec: In /etc/mail  there are some files which configure the mail servers, you may want to look into them especially sendmail.mc
[21:10] <Denyerec> ok
[21:10] <Denyerec> Should this stuff not autoconfigure? I never rememeber having trouble with it on the older version of Ubuntu... :/
[21:11] <genii> Denyerec: It requires m4 to make into an sendmail.cf file
[21:11] <Denyerec> How would I know what I was looking for? On my old ubuntu installation, "it just worked"
[21:11] <[NoFate]> is there a way to turn off the mouse acceleration, without the mouse gets ridiculous slow?
[21:11] <Denyerec> I've never had to configure sendmail before in my life.
[21:11] <genii> Denyerec: Sendmail is not the usual mta for debian, normally it is exim4
[21:11] <trafalgar> crdlb: thanks!  oh, how do you view the contents of the .bz2 file to know what the output filename should be?
[21:11] <Scunizi> when installing mencoder from command line I noticed a line that said "suggested packages" and mentioned w32codecs and libdvdcss.  After install I tried to locate these packages in synaptic and couldn't fine them. Are they named something else? How do I get them?
[21:11] <Codenut> How do I use VNC to connect to the desktop on my Ubuntu box, the connection gets refused.
[21:12] <Denyerec> is it a simple procedure to use the package manage to remove sendmial and install exim4 ?
[21:12] <erUSUL> !medibuntu | Scunizi
[21:12] <ubotu> Scunizi: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org

[21:12] <crdlb> trafalgar: contents? if it's a tar.bz2 file then just use 'tar'
[21:12] <tanath> ikonia, oh, one thing, i'm at 100% cpu, but i run folding@home in the bg
[21:12] <Denyerec> php and certain web utils seem to like to use sendmail
[21:12] <erUSUL> Scunizi: those packages are on medibuntu
[21:12] <Scunizi> erUSUL, brobostigon thanks.
[21:12] <ikonia> tanath: thats why your lagging !
[21:12] <tanath> ikonia, no, it isn't
[21:12] <edgy> hi, my windows drive used to be C: I used parted to remove some partitions and moved the windows partition to the beginning and now it boots but cannot logon. The task manager shows it now thinks it's V: instead. Can grub convince Windows to believe it's still C:?
[21:12] <brobostigon> medibuntu
[21:12] <crdlb> trafalgar: tar xf myarchive.tar.bz2 -C somedir/to/extract/
[21:12] <ikonia> tanath: if your machine is at %100 cpu - your machine will queue cpu time
[21:12] <MrObvious> ikonia: tanath: I run FAH and I'm not lagging.
[21:12] <tanath> ikonia, it has never caused me to lag before
[21:12] <ikonia> MrObvious: is your CPU @ %100
[21:13] <Flare183> !medibuntu > Scunizi
[21:13] <tanath> ikonia, it is a 'nice' process
[21:13] <MrObvious> ikonia: Yup. Also FAH runs at nice level 19 by default.
[21:13] <ogre> anyone know what GLXBadContext means?
[21:13] <timrit> I am having a problem with my audio in Gutsy. The speaker icon in Totem keeps greying out and I have to restart to get it back. When I play an audio file be it mp3 or ogg, when it is greyed out the sound does not work. I have looked in the sound control panel and nothing is muted. Any ideas?
[21:13] <[NoFate]> is there a way to turn off the mouse acceleration, without the mouse gets ridiculous slow?
[21:13] <Codenut> How do I allow VNC to connect to my Ubuntu box?
[21:13] <ikonia> MrObvious: so your suggesting that your CPU is at %100 constantly and you get no slowdown on your desktops response ?
[21:13] <Flare183> !vnc > Codenut
[21:13] <ogre> anyone know what GLXBadContext means? I have a pastebin of error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52201/
[21:13] <trafalgar> crdlb: I tried using > /media/disk/extract/* but it creates a file called *   How do I find the original file name?
[21:13] <Codenut> thanks
[21:13] <Denyerec> genii - when I shut down there are some sendmail related errors - where can I find the shutdown messages?   /var/log/messages only has the current session
[21:13] <MrObvious> ikonia: Nope. Of course I have a Dell Vostro 1700 with a 1.6 GHz C2D and 8600m and 2GB of RAM. :)
[21:13] <Flare183> Codenut: no problem
[21:14] <th0r> Codenut on the ubuntu box you have to install vncserver, then type in a terminal 'vncserver :1'
[21:14] <MrObvious> ikonia: But I run FAH on a 1.8 GHz P4 w\ 1GB of RAM and it's fine.
[21:14] <ikonia> MrObvious: - thats fine, but tanath's cpu is at %100
[21:14] <crdlb> trafalgar: are the files simple bz2 files, or tar.bz2 files?
[21:14] <MrObvious> ikonia: What's wrong with that?
[21:14] <tanath> ikonia, and it will keep it there. it always has, but it doesn't hog the cpu
[21:14] <MrObvious> tanath: What kind of system is it? What are the specs?
[21:15] <trafalgar> crdlb: I do not know, is there a way to find out?
[21:15] <tanath> MrObvious, 3Ghz CPU, 1Gb RAM
[21:15] <brontos> good day all
[21:15] <elliotjhug> anyone know how to get a decent high resolution firefox icon - right now the only icon that looks terrible on my dock is firefox - so any ideas
[21:15] <[NoFate]> is there a way to turn off the mouse acceleration, without the mouse gets ridiculous slow?
[21:15] <ikonia> tanath: sorry, your last comment scrolled off the screen

[21:15] <brontos> anyone have issues when writing to a file using cifs to a windows machine?
[21:15] <crdlb> trafalgar: look at the filename
[21:15] <marko-_-> bluefox83, you we're right..:/
[21:15] <SoulChild> hey can someone please help me with vista and grub
[21:15] <brontos> I can read and write new files
[21:15] <elliotjhug> SoulChild: Whats the issue?
[21:16] <tanath> ikonia, last one to you? or the specs?
[21:16] <brontos> but cannot write to existing files, even those I create
[21:16] <bdancer> re
[21:16] <MrObvious> tanath: You should be fine. Use the command free to see how much swapping you are having. What kind of CPU is it? AMD X2? P4? P-D? C2D? C2Q?
[21:16] <SoulChild> i have ubuntu, XP, and Vista (where Vista is on a extended partition), i can't load vista with grub ,...
[21:16] <tanath> 'ikonia, and it will keep it there. it always has, but it doesn't hog the cpu'
[21:16] <marko-_-> bluefox83, but i need a driver... i mean i can't work like that :D
[21:16] <ikonia> tanath: one moment
[21:16] <trafalgar> crdlb: it's file.bz2
[21:16] <tanath> MrObvious, P4
[21:16] <sybariten> anyone here installed ubuntu on a USB memory? which guide is best to use?
[21:16] <Megaqwerty> elliotjhug: are you using the one from /usr/share/pixmaps/firefox.png ?
[21:16] <sybariten> some recommend fat16, some ext2
[21:17] <MrObvious> tanath: I fold on a 1.8 GHz Northwood P4 and it's not slow at all.
[21:17] <tanath> MrObvious, Swap:      1510068      34760    1475308
[21:17] <trafalgar> crdlb: I gather that means it's a bunzip2 file
[21:17] <tanath> MrObvious, (total | used | free)
[21:17] <crdlb> trafalgar: that means it's a bzip2 compressed file, bunzip2 is the app that uncompresses it
[21:17] <SoulChild> how to load Vista in GRUB? It's on a extended partition ( what seems to be the problem) PLEAE HELP
[21:17] <trafalgar> crdlb: but I don't see anything in bunzip2 --help nor man bunzip2 that tells you how to know what the original filename was
[21:17] <MrObvious> Mem:       2062236    1186084     876152
[21:17] <timrit> tanath: I fold on a 1.8ghz amd single core and it pegs the processor but does not slow the machine down at all.
[21:17] <MrObvious> Swap:      6072528          0    6072528
[21:18] <crdlb> trafalgar: just take off the .bz2 ?
[21:18] <shingoki> Will the gutsy live cd installer ask me where to put the bootloader before writing it? I'm trying to install to an external (USB) drive without touching the internal drive
[21:18] <MrObvious> tanath: That's me :)
[21:18] <trafalgar> ls
[21:18] <elliotjhug> Megaqwerty: I'm using the one it picked automatically - let me check
[21:18] <Starnestommy> SoulChild, you may want to check in ##windows.
[21:18] <tanath> MrObvious, yeah, i've been running it for some time and it's never lagged me. i really don't think it has anything to do with it
[21:18] <Gekkomon_Shogun> Hi i have one questiong before installing ubuntu
[21:18] <MrObvious> SoulChild: What exactly?
[21:18] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: okay, just give me a second to look at my grub file :-P
[21:18] <elliotjhug> Megaqwerty: Thanks! Thats much better
[21:18] <punkshui> th0r: i'm back.
[21:18] <timrit> I am having a problem with my audio in Gutsy. The speaker icon in Totem keeps greying out and I have to restart to get it back. When I play an audio file be it mp3 or ogg, when it is greyed out the sound does not work. I have looked in the sound control panel and nothing is muted. Any ideas?
[21:18] <Megaqwerty> elliotjhug: you're welcome :)
[21:18] <SoulChild> Megaqwerty: great
[21:18] <MrObvious> tanath: Swapping will slow you down though.
[21:19] <th0r> punkshui did it work?
[21:19] <punkshui> th0r: it didn't work so well and lost my home partition but then i edited my fstab, to auto mount my /dev/sda5 partition as /home and we're now back in business
[21:19] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: do you have multiple hard drives?
[21:19] <trafalgar>
[21:19] <SoulChild> Megaqwerty: no just one sata
[21:19] <tanath> ikonia, MrObvious, system monitor doesn't show anything going crazy. says most apps are 'sleeping'
[21:19] <th0r> punkshui so osx is there too? everything is working?
[21:19] <trafalgar> crdlb: this isn't like zip files where the filename gets stored with the file?
[21:19] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: okay, do you know what partition Vista is on?
[21:19] <punkshui> th0r thanks very much for your patience
[21:20] <punkshui> th0r: yes OS X is there, and everything is working just fine
[21:20] <SoulChild> Megaqwerty: it s on /dev/sda5
[21:20] <th0r> punkshui no problem..now when someone asks what I did today...<smile>
[21:20] <ikonia> tanath: not sure how an app can be sleeping yet using %100 cpu
[21:20] <tanath> MrObvious, sounds like it might be swapping lots, 'cause the HDD keeps ticking every couple seconds, but according to 'free' it has swap space..
[21:20] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: okay, I'll pastebin what I think will make it work.
[21:20] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: hold on
[21:20] <tanath> ikonia, none of them are using 100%. most are sleeping
[21:20] <punkshui> th0r hahaha. alright i'm out. thanks again
[21:20] <SoulChild> Megaqwerty: your great dude
[21:20] <crdlb> trafalgar: what 'filename'? bzip2 is a simple format that just compresses a block of data, there are no contained files, for that you need an archive format like tar
[21:20] <MrObvious> SoulChild: Try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=669430&highlight=vista+grub and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=668712&highlight=vista+grub and see if there are any relevant details here which might help. You might browse the forums if no one has any ideas on what to do.
[21:20] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: :)
[21:20] <tanath> ikonia, it's just that FAH takes up the slack
[21:21] <Gekkomon_Shogun> after u partition your and slect guided, before the install it says that it will wipe all data what exactly does that mean
[21:21] <trafalgar> crdlb: it's possible this came off a block device and not out of a file :(
[21:21] <jaggy> what do i do if ubuntu firefox is crashed and i can't close it :s
[21:21] <tanath> Gekkomon_Shogun, it means any data will be lost. anything saved on that partition or drive
[21:21] <trafalgar> crdlb: I guess I'll have to install the original drive and find out
[21:22] <Denyerec> Stuypid bloody ubuntu
[21:22] <MrObvious> tanath: Do me a favor and do a ps aux > blah and upload the contents of the blah to a pastebin so I can see which processes are running. It might tell me more.
[21:22] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild:  add the contents of http://pastebin.ca/857704 to /boot/grub/menu.lst (at the bottom)

[21:22] <th0r> Denyerec I keep auto upgrade turned off
[21:22] <Gekkomon_Shogun> ok so it will be just that partiton that will be wiped and not the entire harddrive
[21:22] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: you're welcome. be sure to come back and tell me if it worked!

[21:23] <fiXXXerMet> Hay everyone.  I am getting messages in dmesg that say "rtc: lost some interrupts at 1024Hz." when I try to test zaptel/ztdummy...  #asterisk users are telling me that it should be 1000Hz, not 1024Hz.  How do I fix that?
[21:23] <Darkmystere__> Can some 1 help me get my sound working Its a new install and i have no sound whatso ever
[21:23] <MrObvious> fr1ul^h4ck: You're making no sense.
[21:23] <fr1ul^h4ck> lol
[21:23] <fiXXXerMet> They said it has somethign to do with the kernel rtc setting.
[21:23] <fr1ul^h4ck> ok
[21:24] <fr1ul^h4ck> ./welcome/hi.html
[21:24] <fr1ul^h4ck> i want to copy that file
[21:24] <eugen> lp me
[21:24] <timrit> MrObvious:  I am having a problem with my audio in Gutsy. The speaker icon in Totem keeps greying out and I have to restart to get it back. When I play an audio file be it mp3 or ogg, when it is greyed out the sound does not work. I have looked in the sound control panel and nothing is muted. Any ideas?
[21:24] <fr1ul^h4ck> in all the dir and subdir in all folder in my pc
[21:24] <fr1ul^h4ck> how?
[21:24] <shingoki> Anyone know whether gutsy live cd installer prompts for overwriting the MBR before it does it?
[21:24] <th0r> fiXXXerMet that's an asterisk issue...doubt many here even know how to start with asterisk
[21:24] <fr1ul^h4ck> ./welcome/hi.html
[21:24] <MrObvious> fr1ul^h4ck: Try typing on one line without using enter so mcuh.
[21:24] <MrObvious> timrit: Nope.
[21:24] <fr1ul^h4ck> ok
[21:24] <fr1ul^h4ck> anyway
[21:25] <fr1ul^h4ck> can i u help me??
[21:25] <fr1ul^h4ck> i need to copy a file in all the dir and subdir in my pc, which is the command?
[21:25] <SoulChild> Megaqwerty: unfortuantly it didn't work
[21:25] <MrObvious> fr1ul^h4ck: You want that file like a default in case no index file exists in apache or something?
[21:25] <Darkmystere__> MrObvious: Well can u help i have no sound At all i have all gstreamer plugins installed
[21:25] <tanath> MrObvious, one moment, i'm checking something and lagging bad now
[21:25] <fr1ul^h4ck> yes
[21:25] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: hmmm...you said /dev/sda5 right?
[21:25] <fiXXXerMet> th0r: The #asterisk guys told me that the timing issue is related to a kernel configuration option?
[21:25] <SoulChild> Megaqwerty: I get a "Invalid device request" as i told you, Vista is installed on a extended partition
[21:25] <fr1ul^h4ck> i want to copy that file in all the dir
[21:26] <MrObvious> fr1ul^h4ck: cp is the command to copy files. You could make a .htaccess edit or something IDK but I really don't have much of a clue.
[21:26] <th0r> fiXXXerMet if that's the case you might try #kernel...in any case I think it will be hard to find an answer here...(just my opinion)
[21:26] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: hmm...I have never tried to run windows from an extended partition before, but I assumed the same procedure applied. (Windows is usually installed before Ubuntu)
[21:26] <fr1ul^h4ck> i know that for copuy is cp
[21:27] <fr1ul^h4ck> but for do that stufff?
[21:27] <MrObvious> Darkmystere_: What sound chip? Sound isn't my specialty so I'll point you in the right direction.
[21:27] <timrit> ANYONE:  I am having a problem with my audio in Gutsy. The speaker icon in Totem keeps greying out and I have to restart to get it back.

[21:27] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: I'll take a look around, see what I can dig up.
[21:27] <Darkmystere__> Also its a Almost brand new partioned install with the live cd was done Just yesturday

[21:28] <SoulChild> Can someoneelse also have a look at my partition table and tell me how to boot Vista from grub: http://pastebin.org/15708
[21:28] <neto> fr1ul^h4ck:  there is no command to copy massively in all directories, you may have to make a script
[21:28] <MrObvious> Darkmystere_: What sound chip? lspci should give you an idea.
[21:29] <fr1ul^h4ck> ohhh
[21:29] <tanath> MrObvious, http://pastebin.ca/857713
[21:29] <th0r> SoulChild give me a sec

[21:30] <SoulChild> th0r: great
[21:30] <sco50000> marx2k, no, i am using the live cd
[21:30] <th0r> SoulChild you just need to add it to the boot menu, right?

[21:31] <SoulChild> th0r: seems to be cause by the extended device it is installed on
[21:31] <ubnoob> hey can anyone tell me the souce name for sourceforge's repository to add to the software sources?
[21:31] <marx2k> sco50000:  can you go to TTY-1 terminal?
[21:32] <Duke_Fluke> sco50000, have you tried any boot parameters for the live cd ?
[21:32] <lusepuster> ubnoob, why sf sources?
[21:32] <lusepuster> ubnoob, just curious
[21:32] <th0r> SoulChild my best guess http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52203/
[21:32] <sco50000> Duke_Fluke, i haven't tried any, because i don't know nay
[21:32] <sco50000> any*
[21:32] <marx2k> sco50000: I am seeing suggestions to try the noauto parameter during boot
[21:32] <marx2k> look through: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=boot+hangs+at+Starting+Hardware+Abstraction+layer+Hald&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f
[21:32] <marx2k> specifically the first link
[21:32] <th0r> SoulChild that should be in your /boot/grub/menu.lst....if you pastebin that file I will take a look
[21:32] <sco50000> marx2k, ok, i'll try that
[21:32] <MrObvious> Darkmystere__: Try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616845&highlight=sound+problem
[21:32] <ubnoob> oh i keep finding my self needing stuff from there for my g15 keyboard and thought it would be easier to just add it in and not goto the website every 2 seconds
[21:32] <Dagaka> Are their any dangerous viruses \ trojans out there for Linux say if you sudo dpkg -i an unknown deb file would it cause chaos?
[21:32] <bdancer> fr1ul^h4ck, search for "advanced bash scripting quide" its an very good doc
[21:33] <Darkmystere__> MrObvious Thanks ill try it
[21:33] <MrObvious> tanath: You're running ClamAV which might have something to do with it.
[21:33] <SoulChild> th0r: what you worte loads my windows XP, but Vista is installed on sda5,... :D
[21:33] <lusepuster> Dagaka, Very few but they're there
[21:33] <MrObvious> Darkmystere__: YW. If it doesn't work search on those forums for your sound chip.
[21:33] <th0r> SoulChild oh...now you tell me...just a sec
[21:33] <uriahheep> ello
[21:33] <tanath> MrObvious, no, that's lagging too. i ran it after to see if maybe i was infected and that was the cause
[21:33] <brobostigon> dagake: nothing to speak off, so much that there is no need or point in having a virus scanner
[21:33] <lusepuster> Dagaka, you should always consider if your source seems trustworthy
[21:33] <uriahheep> how can i check (via ssh) what version of ubuntu my server is running?
[21:33] <th0r> SoulChild then make that one line (hd0,4)
[21:34] <SoulChild> th0r: i told you before,.. i think you overread it
[21:34] <MrObvious> marko-_-: Try posting on ubuntuforums.org and see if someone helps you there.
[21:34] <MrObvious> tanath: You have a virus? :|
[21:34] <SoulChild> th0r: doesn't work,.. i get "invalid device request,... as i said before ,... :D
[21:34] <Dagaka> hmmm ok thanks
[21:34] <SoulChild> maybe grub can't handle extended partitions
[21:34] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: I found an interesting solution
[21:34] <marx2k> uriahheep: Im not sure if there's any way to get a specific Ubuntu version... I mean, you can check which kernel your're running (uname -a)
[21:34] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: I have no idea if it's going to work though...
[21:34] <tanath> MrObvious, don't think so... but it's still running, so the jury's still out :P
[21:34] <ubnoob> lusepuster, oh i keep finding my self needing stuff from there for my g15 keyboard and thought it would be easier to just add it in and not goto the website every 2 seconds
[21:34] <MrObvious> uriahheep: What is the output of uname -r? I know there is another way but I forget. Kernel versions are a good clue.
[21:34] <Dagaka> but I take it ClamAV, AVG F-Prot etc for Linux would detect these?
[21:34] <MrObvious> tanath: Hmm.
[21:35] <marko-_-> i think i'll kill myself i just don't get MrObvious EVERYTHING just everything worked fine, smooth with no problem just perfect i was in love with gutsy... but now this i just don't understand what can be wrong :/
[21:35] <SoulChild> Megaqwerty: tell me
[21:35] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: so before I even try it, I'd like to see your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[21:35] <SoulChild> ok,... moment
[21:35] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: thanks
[21:35] <MrObvious> marko-_-: Well try the forums. There are some knowledgable people too.
[21:35] <hypn0> marko-_-: maybe a reinstall will be quicker
[21:35] <marko-_-> i don't want to reinstall
[21:35] <marko-_-> .s
[21:36] <tanath> MrObvious, ikonia my system monitor on the panel appears to be having issues
[21:36] <rem_> Hey anyone familiar with squid ? I try to access mp3 on a server through 2 proxies. I can browse the files, just not stream them ..
[21:36] <tyone> yo dudes and dudettes
[21:36] <MrObvious> tanath: Looking at it reveals nothing too unusual. You could try turning regular sized WUs instead of big if you are.
[21:36] <th0r> SoulChild hmmm...it might be that chainloader line...would need to research that
[21:36] <tanath> MrObvious, ikonia i can't close the prefs, and it doesn't seem to be updating anymore
[21:36] <ubnoob> hey can anyone tell me the souce name for sourceforge's repository to add to the software sources?
[21:36] <tanath> MrObvious, sorry?
[21:36] <bnex10> hi
[21:36] <Starnestommy> ubnoob, I don't think they have one that can be added to sources.list
[21:36] <tyone> why would my machine not remember any setings i make ??? when i reboot settings are gone
[21:36] <Flare183> ubnoob: didn't know that was even possible
[21:36] <kost_> Hey guys, I am really new to ubuntu. ANd I want to install adobe flash for my firefox.. I downloaded the files asked in here. how can i navigate to a directory?? http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
[21:36] <MrObvious> tanath: Run FAH with the -config flag and turn the work unit size to normal.
[21:36] <tanath> MrObvious, oh, in FAH?
[21:36] <th0r> SoulChild I boot my linux off an extended partition, but don't know if windows will work off an extended partition...so will take you word for it on that
[21:36] <mlucas58051> tyone, like what kind of settings
[21:36] <tyone> when i install vga driver says it can find a kernel so has to make 1
[21:37] <MrObvious> !flash | kost_
[21:37] <ubotu> kost_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[21:37] <tyone> like anything
[21:37] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[21:37] <tanath> MrObvious, oh, nah. i never had probs with it before
[21:37] <ubnoob> really i saw on a forum that someone did it but didnt say how so i just thought i would ask
[21:37] <Dextorion> hi
[21:37] <Flare183> !hi | Dextorion
[21:37] <ubotu> Dextorion: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[21:37] <czesterthc> wita
[21:37] <mlucas58051> hmm  dont know what to tell your tyone
[21:37] <SoulChild> Megaqwerty: http://pastebin.org/15711
[21:37] <czesterthc> witam
[21:37] <XLV> SoulChild, i have tried lately to get grub to load xp and vista, with no luck, the easier way is to let vista bootloader load xp and linux, which loads grub with all ubuntu load options... also if its a laptop, with new efi bios type, vista bootloader has better support
[21:37] <tyone> mlucas - it also only boots to bash
[21:37] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: thanks
[21:37] <czesterthc> linux is the best
[21:37] <MrObvious> kost_: Type cd /downloaded/directory && tar -xzvf flashplayer.... && ./flash-installername
[21:37] <tanath> MrObvious, i still think the firewall is the best candidate so far
[21:37] <Flare183> czesterthc: you got that right
[21:37] <tyone> think there is a prob with my vga driver, need to install it from bash, then start x, then start gnome
[21:37] <bdancer> XLV, and whats a problem of loading xp?
[21:38] <marx2k> I dont get why MS didnt just use Grub with VISTA
[21:38] <Dextorion> what Flare183 said :)
[21:38] <bnex10> i just want to say this: if linux had no swap, the machine ubuntu is installed on will never work without a swap
[21:38] <mlucas58051> tyone, can you type "startx"
[21:38] <SoulChild> XLV: hmm i would prefere grub to do everything
[21:38] <MrObvious> tanath: Well play around with it and see. I don't run any firewall or AV on Linux except for my router and I'm secure and fine.
[21:38] <bnex10> it's an old pc
[21:38] <tanath> MrObvious, but then the question is what rule is causing the prob?
[21:38] <PriceChild> marx2k, because they can't distribute it non-freely
[21:38] <tyone> from bash ?
[21:38] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. Its possible to use Linux with no swap partiton, or file.  Just proberly not a good idea.
[21:38] <kost_> !bash
[21:38] <XLV> SoulChild, i wanted so too, but couldnt get it to load vista
[21:38] <tyone> staright into desktop ?
[21:38] <mlucas58051> hmm thats odd, have you looked at the forums, and what kind of card is it tyone
[21:38] <tanath> MrObvious, my router keeps dying and needs to be rebooted after a while, so i tend not to use it
[21:38] <bnex10> lol yea
[21:38] <Xintrude1> Hello guys :D
[21:38] <kost_> !commands
[21:38] <Dr_Willis> tyone:  startx --> starts the X session. from a console.
[21:38] <tyone> see, i'd like my machine to boot to login screen really
[21:39] <Dextorion> !hi | Xintrude1
[21:39] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[21:39] <ubotu> Xintrude1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[21:39] <bnex10> but the pc te
[21:39] <tyone> its a old nvidia 420mx
[21:39] <XLV> bdancer, since i had to use vista bl, i let it load xp, and have grub with only linux ubuntu boot options
[21:39] <Dr_Willis> tyone:  if you want to boot to the console. you an disable the gdm or kdm service. dependind on what you use.
[21:39] <bnex10> tends to use the swap a lot
[21:39] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: my only concern in doing this is that there is a possiblity Ubuntu won't boot and you'll have to change it back with a live cd.
[21:39] <Xintrude1> Does ubuntu auto detect flash cards?
[21:39] <mlucas58051> tyone, let me look around
[21:39] <bnex10> because i only have 128MB ram
[21:39] <vansen> dude, compiz is laggy as shit on a 5200fx
[21:39] <SoulChild> Megaqwerty: no problem, i am used to that
[21:39] <Dr_Willis> Xintrude1:  it should.
[21:40] <th0r> SoulChild found this...http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/vista-xp-and-ubtu-7.10-grub-doesnt-list-xp-613123/page2.html
[21:40] <tanath> vansen, make sure you're using the right driver and all that
[21:40] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: alright cool. Pastebin-ing the new list
[21:40] <bdancer> XLV, i just nevere use vista and want to install it... what is the problem with vista?
[21:40] <EyePulp> howdy all
[21:40] <vansen> i am, quake III and open arena run without lag
[21:40] <bnex10> of course vistaa wont show xp
[21:40] <Darkmystere__> MrObvious: Err this is weird When i go to volume prefrences it shows my card that cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec gives  And a Alsa Mixer my realtek 1 says OSS mixer...
[21:40] <kost_> !how to navigate to a directory via terminal?
[21:40] <vansen> I'm constantly at ~60% CPU
[21:40] <XLV> bdancer, i wanted to triple boot, ubuntu,vista and xp, with onyly ubuntu and vista it could be different
[21:41] <bnex10> kost: cd [directory]
[21:41] <mlucas58051> tyone, i googled it, and according to google alot of people are having problems with the card, maybe try the forums
[21:41] <bnex10> vansen: 60%?
[21:41] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: http://pastebin.org/15712
[21:41] <kost_> bnex10: like cd desktop?
[21:41] <vansen> average
[21:41] <bnex10> vansen: what cpu u have?
[21:41] <EyePulp> what would be the strategy to diagnosing why an ubuntu server seems to go down every few days?  I'm a relative n00b with *nix systems, so I'm not entirely sure which logs or other items to look at or for.  The box continues to ping, but apache2 and ssh don't respond
[21:41] <vansen> 3000+
[21:42] <SoulChild> Megaqwerty: thank you,.. i ll try that ,...
[21:42] <sco50000> marx2k, noauto did not do the trick
[21:42] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: good luck!
[21:42] <SoulChild> Megaqwerty: it can only break my bootloader, does it
[21:42] <bnex10> i have P3 500MHz and hover at 60
[21:42] <mlucas58051> eyepulp, good chances are its a head issue
[21:42] <sco50000> marx2k, it looks like that helped people with samba shares but i don't have samba shares
[21:42] <vansen> we're getting flurries here :D
[21:42] <bnex10> dont hover at 60
[21:42] <mlucas58051> heat* sorry
[21:42] <EyePulp> mlucas58051: Am I the head?
[21:42] <bnex10> lol
[21:42] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: right, in which case you just have to delete the two lines I added, and everything will work fine again
[21:43] <tanath> MrObvious, i may have a lead... there appears to be issues reading one of my drives...
[21:43] <Megaqwerty> SoulChild: (lines 18 and 19)
[21:43] <SoulChild> i ll come back to tell ya
[21:43] <SoulChild> exit
[21:43] <mlucas58051> o, im sorry i should have read farther i did not realize that it stil responds to ping, let me thin a little bit

[21:48] <Thugacation> what's better linux or windows
[21:48] <misslecommand> i really cant believe how extensive it is just to istall something as simple as a videocard driver for linux, it is way too much to do a task that takes windows 1 click

[21:49] <Dr_Willis> Thugacation:  Your logic is faulty.
[21:49] <Cpudan80> It used to work
[21:49] <uriahheep> MrObvious: what kernel did 7.10 start off with?
[21:49] <fairyEneried> any good suggestion? thanks ^^

[21:50] <MrObvious> Thugacation: Not true. I use my Linux for web browsing and e-mail just fine.
[21:50] <MrObvious> uriahheep: YW.
[21:50] <sco50000> Thugacation, it's a lot more than just that
[21:50] <Megaqwerty> greentea: from CVS, yeah. But you have to compile it yourself.
[21:50] <mlucas58051> eyepulp, i just did some googling and it looks like alot of people are having problems, i have to go for a bit but i will look into it for you
[21:50] <Thugacation> but you could use windows for that
[21:50] <Megaqwerty> greentea: you don't get prebuilt packages, or support when you do it that way though.
[21:50] <Dr_Willis> tarelerulz:  normally during the install of gentoo one 'activated' the swap by the proper use of the 'swapon' command..  you dont activate it from the disk parttoner.
[21:50] <EyePulp> mlucas58051: thanks
[21:50] <mlucas58051> no prob
[21:50] <Cpudan80> Dr_Willis: Ok... here's the weird thing
[21:50] <sco50000> Thugacation, but windows costs money and is more virus prone
[21:50] <Zloog> For RAID1, you simply mirror the data on to hard disks correct? If so how do you resolve problems where the two drives disagree?
[21:50] <fairyEneried> greentea: i don't know, i believe Cedega have comercial and source version
[21:51] <MrObvious> Darkmystere__: IDK sorry. Try the forums or see if someone else here is a sound expert. I'm not :(l.
[21:51] <Dr_Willis> Thugacation:  please troll else ware.  You are wrong. and thats all there is to it.
[21:51] <Cpudan80> Dr_Willis: It plays on my laptop screen - but not on my external monitor (they are supposed to show the same thing)
[21:51] <Thugacation> yeah true guess that's why i download it off bittorrent
[21:51] <Thugacation> but i never get a virus
[21:51] <fairyEneried> ammm, any applet or icon to show processor temperature on the toolbar?
[21:51] <MrObvious> tanath: You better back up your data. Your HD may be going out :(
[21:51] <tanath> uriahheep, wine is usually good, just make sure you configure it right. there's also crossover office
[21:51] <th0r> fairyEneried there is one for gkrellm
[21:51] <bmk789> anyone care to recommend a ubuntu-compatible budget printer/scanner/copier?
[21:52] <tanath> MrObvious, can't really do that... too much data
[21:52] <Thugacation> why are you buying all new hardware just to be compatible with linux
[21:52] <soundray> Zloog: RAID is more than you make it out to be. The wikipedia article is very useful
[21:52] <Thugacation> just use windows bro
[21:52] <misslecommand> i may as well read the bible on instructions on how to install the nvidia driver, then hope and pray, anything works at all
[21:52] <Darkmystere__> Can anyone help me get my splash screen working its not...
[21:52] <sp> bmk789: are you thinking of a combination there?
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> Thugacation:  i dont think anyone cares about your wrong oponions.
[21:52] <tanath> MrObvious, it's a nearly full 250Gb drive
[21:52] <Thugacation> i'm not sure if any scanner/printer/copiers even work with linux
[21:52] <fairyEneried> th0r:
[21:52] <bmk789> sp: yes
[21:52] <fairyEneried> gkrellm?
[21:52] <Thugacation> what's an oponions?
[21:52] <sp> bmk789: eww, ok
[21:53] <Zloog> soundray: Thats what I'm going from. The problem is that I dont see how RAID1 is going to be able to resolve conflicts..
[21:53] <Dr_Willis> Thugacation:  and as for what hardware works.. thers plenty of info sites on that.
[21:53] <soundray> Thugacation: this is offtopic -- please go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:53] <bmk789> Thugacation: ive used an G
[21:53] <misslecommand> how mnay of you suggest using the "restricted driver system" to install the nvidia driver ?
[21:53] <Dr_Willis> !hardware | Thugacation
[21:53] <ubotu> Thugacation: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection
[21:53] <cute_bettong> ok i just got wind of this article http://www.linux.com/articles/53698 please tell me this is not a joke
[21:53] <MrObvious> tanath: Yikes! I'd shut down now and buy another 250GB HD and use dd to copy/paste from the LiveCD in case it is dying.
[21:53] <cosmodad> Thugacation: mine does.
[21:53] <sp> bmk789: I'd suggest checking if HP does have one and then check the hplib homepage (google it) if it's supported
[21:53] <MrObvious> tanath: In case it isn't you'll be glad you have the backups.
[21:53] <Megaqwerty> misslecommand: I would
[21:53] <th0r> fairyEneried I use it with all the window managers. It is a stack of monitors for keeping tabs on your system...cpu usage, memory, i/o...and cpu temp
[21:53] <bmk789> Thugacation: ive used an HP AIO and a canon scanner that didnt require any special setup
[21:53] <cute_bettong> is there a really virus for linux out there now thats cross platform?
[21:53] <Megaqwerty> misslecommand: unless you don't have internet.
[21:53] <javaguru> is "root" disabled in ubuntu ?
[21:53] <soundray> Zloog: it isn't designed to resolve conflicts. For that, you need striping with parity.
[21:53] <Dr_Willis> and My Printer/scanner works better under linux then windows. I dident need to download a 124mb driver package from HP to get it working.
[21:53] <Megaqwerty> misslecommand: then use packages.ubuntu.com
[21:53] <th0r> fairyEneried install it and try it out...I mean...it IS free
[21:53] <soundray> javaguru: yes
[21:53] <Megaqwerty> misslecommand: and install nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new
[21:53] <bmk789> sp: ok thanks
[21:54] <MrObvious> cute_bettong: No, viruses have only been  made in the lab and patched I believe.
[21:54] <Megaqwerty> misslecommand:  depending on how old your card is
[21:54] <tarelerulz> Dr_Willis , should I get the Gentoo livecd and then activate the swap with it.
[21:54] <javaguru> soundray : can i enable it ?
[21:54] <soundray> !root > javaguru please read ubotu's private message
[21:54] <Zloog> soundray: thanks
[21:54] <misslecommand> that only creates a new issue, the problem of the NIC, then i need to use ndiswrapper to install a windows driver for it, it makes no sense to rely on windows, for the linux os
[21:54] <tanath> MrObvious, gah... :( i think it's been dying for some time though. i've been told before... :P but i don't know if that's causing the lag
[21:54] <soundray> javaguru: you can in principle, but it's not necessary and not advisable
[21:54] <sp> bmk789: that was just my personal opinion btw :)
[21:54] <MrObvious> tanath: It would make sense.
[21:54] <cute_bettong> MrObvious: not according to this article i am now reading
[21:54] <MrObvious> !smart
[21:54] <ubotu> smart is another meta-package manager available for Ubuntu. It's quite stable, uses APT's repositories, can handle mirrors/multiple-connections, and is supposed to make Ubuntu BiArch-compatible. See http://labix.org/smart and https://wiki.kubuntu.org/SmartPackageManager
[21:54] <tanath> MrObvious, it's a secondary drive
[21:54] <fairyEneried> thanks th0r
[21:54] <fairyEneried> :)
[21:54] <cute_bettong> it says a computer(s) where struck by it
[21:54] <Dr_Willis> tarelerulz:  activating the swap is done during the commands you use while installing gentoo. Its NOT done  and frogotten about. each time the system boots there are scripts/commands that activate swap. You Might want tor ead the gentoo install docs a few more times.
[21:54] <tanath> MrObvious, and it hasn't done it before
[21:55] <n00bie> i would like to add a shortcut for closing a window in .xbindkeys... what's the command for this?  i have set a shortcut for this in 'keyboard shortcuts', but i would like an additional one in xbindkeys
[21:55] <ZummiG777> Question: I'm trying to boot Ubuntu 7.10 from the boot: prompt but can't find any documentation on what to actually call.  I've tried 'linux' 'casper' 'boot=casper' but none work.  Ideas?
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> tarelerulz:  You may want to head to #gentoo also :)
[21:55] <MrObvious> tanath: Well remove it for now then just in case. Hard drive failures are too common these days.
[21:55] <Thugacation> cant i just have linux run under windows
[21:55] <Thugacation> so i can get a more powerful OS
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> Thugacation:   yes you can. vmware, virtualbox, wubi.
[21:55] <tanath> Thugacation, what? it'd be better to have windows run under linux
[21:55] <MrObvious> Thugacation: You're drunk. lol
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> and I agree with tanath .
[21:55] <Thugacation> yeah but windows is probly a bit more stable
[21:55] <javaguru> soundray: thanks for the link .. i kindof need to enable it for long tedious admin tasks that involve a lot of typing sudo
[21:55] <Darkmystere__> Dr_Willis: want to help me get my splash working :D?
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> Darkmystere__:  i always Disable splash./
[21:56] <cute_bettong> according to this article the virus is cross platform and is dependant on the kernal you use.
[21:56] <x360> hi everybody
[21:56] <soundray> javaguru: try sudo -i -- it gives you a root shell
[21:56] <anas> why there is a diffrent betwen (font,colors) in xmms,amsn :: and :: emesene ,vlc, gimp and other programms
[21:56] <tanath> Thugacation, did you just suggest that windows is more powerful and stable than linux???
[21:56] <th0r> ZummiG777 what boot prompt? Are you trying the liveCD?
[21:56] <cute_bettong> is this a real threat or a false one
[21:56] <tanath> Thugacation, quite the opposite
[21:56] <x360> I have a problem
[21:56] <pike_> Thugacation: you can use cygwin or win32 versions of popular unix commands or run linux in a virtual machine like virtualpc or vmware
[21:56] <MrMist> I just updated to ubuntu gibbon, and my display drivers doesn't work properly. I can only runn 640x480 and 800x600 now. Anyone know how to approach this? I'm on a dell laptop
[21:56] <sco50000> in my fresh install of kubuntu, it hangs during boot at "starting abstraction layer hald [ok]" any ideas?
[21:56] <ZummiG777> th0r: LiveCD, then at the selection screen pressing escape.
[21:56] <Thugacation> well it's compatible with more things so in a sense yes.
[21:56] <MrObvious> Thugacation: Nope. Actually I find Linux to run better. If you're having problems with Linux not running right it's usually something you're not doing. The OS will last for months without rebooting (barring kernel updates for security).
[21:56] <javaguru> soundray: right .. thx
[21:56] <Thugacation> thanks for recommending those things
[21:56] <th0r> ZummiG777 no, at the selection screen just press return
[21:56] <tanath> Thugacation, not really
[21:56] <MrObvious> Thugacation: If you wanna game just dual boot or something.
[21:57] <tanath> Thugacation, *nix supports far more hardware than windows
[21:57] <Negatif> can somebody help me on ubuntu desktop issue
[21:57] <Darkmystere__> Dr_Willis is there a way to Allow Certain programs to think x-server script isnt working so i can play games while Using Desktop Affects..
[21:57] <MrObvious> !ask | Negatif
[21:57] <ubotu> Negatif: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[21:57] <tanath> Thugacation, though windows supports more desktop & laptop hardware for now
[21:57] <Dr_Willis> Darkmystere__:  Huh?    what are you really trying to do? that made.. little sence. :)
[21:57] <Negatif> My destop can't order the icons of the programs or folders
[21:57] <ZummiG777> th0r: I'm actually attempting to get to the boot: prompt so I can call ks= for kickstart but I need the other working boot params so that it won't barf
[21:57] <soundray> sco50000: what happens when you hit Enter at that point?
[21:57] <tanath> Thugacation, and *nix is far more stable
[21:58] <Dr_Willis> Darkmystere__:  if the apps need X they need X running..   :)
[21:58] <Negatif> how can I fix it?
[21:58] <th0r> ZummiG777 then don't press escape,,,just type in the ks= and any other parameters you want to add
[21:58] <kost_> !wine | kot

[21:58] <javaguru> damn there's a lot of activity in this channel .. it seems like more and more ppl are adopting linux thanks to ubuntu
[21:58] <bhsx> i finally upgraded to the latest release, and actually just installed kde4...  was wondering how to get compiz/beryl working? i thought it was installed by default now...
[21:58] <bnex10> yea
[21:58] <Dr_Willis> javaguru:  this is a slow day in here.
[21:58] <MrObvious> Negatif: What exactly do you mean?
[21:58] <ZummiG777> th0r: Unfortunately it doesn't actually call the ks flag at all.
[21:58] <javaguru> Dr_Willis: shit ..
[21:58] <bnex10> Dr_Willis: re lly?
[21:59] <Thugacation> i like to program in VB.net would linux be good for me?
[21:59] <Darkmystere__> Dr_Willis: this game called Regnum Online and it only works if the script that allows compiz to work is off but Also i need it to get Desktop affects on..
[21:59] <bnex10> really*
[21:59] <MrObvious> javaguru: This is the usual fare here. And watch the language please.
[21:59] <Dr_Willis> javaguru:  come in when theres a new release.. i recall seeing 3000+ in here befor.
[21:59] <javaguru> Thugacation: no
[21:59] <Negatif> I am sorry for my english.. but I can explain like this: in my desktop
[21:59] <Negatif> I cant order my icons in a particular way
[21:59] <MrObvious> Dr_Willis: Wow.
[21:59] <sp> Thugacation: depends on what you are planning to do and why you think about using GNU/Linux
[21:59] <MrMist> Anyone? I'm stuck on 800x600 VESA. And I've got a quadro card on this machine...
[21:59] <ompaul> Negatif, what is your normal language?
[21:59] <MrObvious> ompaul: Good idea lol.
[21:59] <Negatif> they dont find the best place on the desktop
[21:59] <tanath> Negatif, right click on the desktop and make sure to uncheck auto arrange
[21:59] <Negatif> turkish
[21:59] <Thugacation> I just wanna install Linux to see what the fuss is about
[21:59] <Thugacation> I'm not running a server or anything
[22:00] <Darkmystere__> Dr_Willis: Well i usually use awn but this is new install And... I use it to keep all my windows But it doesnt work without the x script session thing on
[22:00] <sco50000> soundray, enter does nothing
[22:00] <Negatif> ok
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> Thugacation:  there are live cd's you can use and not install anything at all.
[22:00] <javaguru> Thugacation: run the live cd
[22:00] <kost_> Guys, I need help with wine. T_T
[22:00] <ompaul> !tr | Negatif
[22:00] <ubotu> Negatif: Turk ubuntu kullanicilari, turkce yardim yada geyik icin #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde.
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> Thugacation:  and theres dozens of them to play with.
[22:00] <sco50000> soundray, it completely freezes up and i can't even switch terminals
[22:00] <MrObvious> Thugacation: So do it and quit causing havok in here. :p
[22:00] <soundray> sco50000: try booting in recovery mode. It's the second option on the grub boot menu
[22:00] <Negatif> there is no arrange menu on my right click
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> with Linux - a little reading/research goes a LONG way.
[22:00] <bnex10> kost: i do have Wine but it's kinda useless
[22:00] <ksbalaji>  Hi ! I request someone to clarify.  On startup I see a floating white box with green border with the words ¨Hz ?¨ in the centre for about 15 seconds. Is it normal?
[22:01] <sp> Thugacation: well, you can install both Windows and GNU/Linux on a PC
[22:01] <soundray> Negatif: it's called "Clean up by name"
[22:01] <tanath> Thugacation, then ubuntu is a good choice. if you don't know what you're doing it could be a good idea to get a friend to install it for you and show you the ropes. if not, i'm sure you'll be fine with a little help from google and this irc channel
[22:01] <Smegzor> :O  wine is not useless!
[22:01] <MrObvious> Negatif: Are you using Nautilus?
[22:01] <Negatif> yes
[22:01] <bnex10> somewhat
[22:01] <fliegenderfrosch> I want to subscribe to all subpages of a wiki-page. is "page/.*" the correct regex?
[22:01] <Darkmystere__> Thugacation: Use Partion Magic to Make a 15-20GB Partion and then make a new partion and select Linux Swap From the dropdown list and make it 1GB
[22:01] <Starnestommy> ksbalaji: sounds like a usplash bug.  Does it boot normally after that 15 seconds?
[22:01] <Negatif> it is unchecked
[22:01] <kost_> I want there: http://winehq.org/site/download-deb.. And did everything it said.. Now how to paly games?? xD
[22:01] <MrObvious> Thugacation: If you have questions this channel is very good. A good site to search and ask questions about Ubuntu too is ubuntuforums.org
[22:01] <sco50000> soundray, i have booted in recovery mode, i get a root prompt
[22:01] <tanath> how can i remove something from a panel if the app it's for is not responding (so i can't get the context menu)
[22:02] <mikeylikesit5805> eyepulp: i cant seem to find anything, maybe try the forums
[22:02] <Thugacation> actually i dont need partitions
[22:02] <sco50000> soundray, what should i do their?
[22:02] <Thugacation> because i have 2 hard drives
[22:02] <sp> Thugacation: well, you still do need partitions, having a technical view at it
[22:02] <Darkmystere__> Thugacation: Partion magic is the Safe(est) Way to partiton And its pretty quick remeber to defrag with a good defragger like jkdefrag beforehand then download live cd Burn boot from it and install ubuntu to the 15-20GB partion set mount point on it to /
[22:02] <soundray> Darkmystere__: please don't recommend Partition Magic here. It is closed source, less reliable than ubiquity and this channel is not a good place to get help for it.
[22:02] <fponticelli> hi, I have a question you must have heard a million times but I can't find an easy tutorial on it. I want to install ubuntu on an USB disk without changing the MBR of my main disk, is that possible?
[22:02] <sp> Thugacation: anyways, if you do have a complete second hard drive it's of course possible to, for example, install GNU/Linux on the second drive
[22:03] <tanath> MrObvious, you know what sucks? i already bought a bigger hard drive.. only i can't use it cause it turns out my comp doesn't have a sata port, and it's a sata drive :(
[22:03] <Dr_Willis> Having a 2nd hard drive just for linux - makes it so much easier.
[22:03] <sco50000> soundray, i have booted in recovery mode, i get a root prompt
[22:03] <Thugacation> yes
[22:03] <sp> Thugacation: at boot time you are then going to be prompted for what system to boot
[22:03] <soundray> sco50000: 'less /var/log/syslog' and see if you can find the reason for the freeze at boot up
[22:03] <Thugacation> 200gb for windows and 80gb for linux
[22:03] <trafalgar> how do I restore a .bz2 file, a backup of a Windows Xen VM created as a raw block device, to a different server and bring up Windows under Xen there?
[22:03] <sp> Thugacation: as I said, that's of course possible
[22:03] <Thugacation> hopefully my monitor works with ubuntu... ive heard alot of times you cant use a monitor with linux
[22:03] <sco50000> soundray, ok
[22:03] <Darkmystere__> Thugacation: And then make the 1208mb Partion swap and then install its pretty strait forward remeber try the graphic install before resorting to the text installer
[22:04] <ompaul> Thugacation, try the live cd and then come back to us
[22:04] <Thugacation> xivulon is helping me install it
[22:04] <Thugacation> ok
[22:04] <tanath> darkkith, gparted is comparable
[22:04] <foo-nix> would someone know what this means:
[22:04] <foo-nix> Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
[22:04] <foo-nix> Xlib: No protocol specified
[22:04] <sp> Thugacation: exactly, as ompaul pointed out, there's a live cd (actually it's the install CD)
[22:04] <Cpudan80> Hello all
[22:04] <foo-nix> I got it when running a sh script for installing netbeans.
[22:04] <Onyx> does anybody know where amarok keeps its default icon?
[22:04] <sp> Thugacation: just download the iso, burn it to a disk, leave it in your drive and reboot
[22:04] <Dr_Willis> foo-nix:   use gksudo or similer. not just 'sudo'
[22:04] <tanath> Onyx, in gnome, or kde?
[22:04] <Megaqwerty> Onyx: I would assume in /usr/share/pixmaps
[22:04] <Dr_Willis> !sudo
[22:04] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[22:04] <sp> Thugacation: you can then try Ubuntu from that disk without having to install anything
[22:04] <tanath> oh, nvm
[22:04] <Thugacation> ok
[22:04] <tanath> lol
[22:04] <Cpudan80> I have my laptop set up in a docking station, but I have a minor problem ---- the external monitor does not show any videos (ie in vlc, totem, etc)
[22:05] <soundray> sco50000: it's possible that it froze before it was possible to write anything to the syslog, though
[22:05] <tanath> how can i remove something from a panel if the app it's for is not responding (so i can't get the context menu)
[22:05] <Cpudan80> They show up on the LCD screen -- but not on the external screen ---- any ideas
[22:05] <foo-nix> Dr_Willis: ok, but I did sudo su, for convieniance, and I dislike "password caching" (not going to discuss that :) )
[22:05] <sp> Thugacation: however, don't expect that to be fast, running any operating system from a CD usually causes a significant slowdown compared to from-disk performance
[22:05] <Megaqwerty> tanath: kill the app?
[22:06] <Thugacation> well im not burning it to a cd because i have no cd's ok
[22:06] <Thugacation> xivulon told me to download wubi-proper
[22:06] <Megaqwerty> tanath: if you know the command that opens it... killall commandname  or if you don't, you could try typing xkill and then clicking on the app
[22:06] <soundray> foo-nix: sudo su is dangerous, because you get a mixed environment. Run sudo -i for a clean root shell.
[22:06] <Thugacation> wubi-installer.org
[22:06] <mp10> are packages in 8.10 reviewed at all by the ubuntu security team?
[22:06] <foo-nix> Dr_Willis: but it seems to work.
[22:06] <foo-nix> soundray: thank you.
[22:07] <foo-nix> AAAH! at last the netbeans installer :)
[22:07] <Dr_Willis> foo-nix:  whwen running an X app - the x Security stuff prevents other users from just accessing the X display. thats what the kde and gnome variants ons udo are for.
[22:07] <pike_> tanath: i think there is a gui for that also the equivalent of task manager or somesuch
[22:07] <Dr_Willis> foo-nix:  or you could use 'sux'
[22:07] <soundray> mp10: I don't think they are reviewed prior to release. Ask hardy questions in #ubuntu+1 though
[22:07] <kost_> Guys I cant find a tutorial for windows gaming on linux.. http://winehq.org/site/download-deb < i went there and did everything now what should i do help me plz!
[22:07] <mp10> soundray, thank you
[22:07] <foo-nix> Dr_Willis: dear dear :P sux?
[22:08] <Darkmystere__> soundray: I was gunna offer sending him my copy..
[22:08] <pike_> kost_: what game? basically you install wine then run winecfg then try to run the game like wine mygaminstall.exe
[22:08] <foo-nix> java code is driving me insane.
[22:08] <MrMist> I can't increase my resolution above 800x600. I'm baffled. Anyone want to point me in the right direction?
[22:08] <Starnestommy> kost_: depends on what games you're trying to run.  there's an application database on that site that might help
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> kost_:  in short.. Install wine.. find the game installer..  use 'wine gameinstaller.exe'  install game..  then run the game with wine /path/to/game.exe
[22:08] <Darkmystere__> soundray: And i could Help him with it
[22:08] <roshi> <i'm bck
[22:08] <kost_> Starnestommy: Warcraft III TFT
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> !info sux | foo-nix
[22:08] <ubotu> foo-nix: sux: wrapper around su which will transfer your X credentials. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-3.2 (gutsy), package size 8 kB, installed size 64 kB
[22:08] <tanath> Megaqwerty, i don't think i want to use xkill. it might kill the whole panel instead
[22:08] <ballongen> hey, my advanced desktop manager is replace by a CompizConfig Settings Manager when i installed xubuntu-desktop. bug? cant start it
[22:08] <Megaqwerty> tanath: I meant the parent app
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> foo-nix:  see the mention of X Credentials.. thats the X security stuff that you are not gettting set right with just sudo. :)
[22:09] <Gekkomon_Shogun> what does it mean when it says WARNING: This will destroy all data on any partitions you have removed
[22:09] <tanath> Megaqwerty, doesn't have a window
[22:09] <EyePulp> if I was running out of memory and freezing, killing various processes (sshd, apache2) would there be some evidence left in a log that I could check after the fact?  I'm trying to diagnose a lockup that appears every few days
[22:09] <marko-_-> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4149171#post4149171 does anyone know how to fix this :/
[22:09] <Smegzor> What is the command to make an iso from a directory?
[22:09] <tanath> Megaqwerty, it's the system resource monitors
[22:09] <Megaqwerty> tanath: ah, then knowing the command would help ;)
[22:09] <foo-nix> Dr_Willis: I see, I will hack my account into having a root account I think
[22:09] <foo-nix> *hack my terminal
[22:09] <bjames> is there a Linux app that can scan files (that may be concatonated) and figure out what the file(s) may be?
[22:09] <pike_> kost_: the path to game bit will be ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Blizzardwhatever
[22:09] <soundray> Darkmystere__: if you take it on yourself, that's fine. Do consider, though, that people tend to expect help in this channel for recommendations received in this channel. Partition Magic isn't exactly ot here.
[22:09] <roshi> so i found gdm.conf-custom, now i need to know the exact lingo to change ~/.dmrc $home directory permissions and choose a language, can any one help me?
[22:10] <Thugacation> are all linux users hackers
[22:10] <EyePulp> I certainly fail in that dept.
[22:10] <soundray> Thugacation: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[22:10] <ompaul> !offtopic
[22:10] <Slart> bjames: you can run "file weirdofile" to find out what the weirdo file seems to be.. if that's what you mean
[22:10] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[22:10] <Megaqwerty> Thugacation: that depends on your definition of hacker
[22:10] <Dr_Willis> Thugacation:  hackers is a media-driven-meaningless buzz word these days.
[22:10] <soundray> EyePulp: please respond in #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:10] <bjames> Slart:
[22:10] <soundray> Megaqwerty: : please respond in #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:10] <bjames> I'll give that a try
[22:10] <tanath> hah, i used gps and guessed right
[22:10] <Darkmystere__> soundray: I know i wasnt trying to recommend it but its the only partioner that didnt kill windows that i used and everyone else back then was recommending gparted whitch always killed my data and no 1 told me about ubilquity
[22:10] <Megaqwerty> soundray: sorry. forgot ;)
[22:11] <ksbalaji> starnestomay: Ubuntu starts normally after I see this floating box. can you tell how to avoid this box?
[22:11] <Slart> bjames: I don't think it will work when more than one are joined though.. I think it expects one filetype per file
[22:11] <bjames> Slart: that seems to have worked
[22:11] <EyePulp> my on-topic question isn't getting me anywhere - so off-topic seems much more popular... =)
[22:11] <Gekkomon_Shogun> When it says WARNING: This will destroy all data on any partitions you have removed does that mean my ENTIRE Harddrive will be wiped
[22:11] <Megaqwerty> tanath: cool
[22:11] <soundray> EyePulp: I missed your question, please repeat
[22:12] <ompaul> Gekkomon_Shogun, it means that if you tell it to use 100G on a 200G partition it will wipe that 100G for itself
[22:12] <Slart> Gekkomon_Shogun: no.. it just means that the data on the partitions you selected to remove will be destroyed.. not the entire hard drive.. unless you selected *all* the partitions
[22:12] <Gekkomon_Shogun> how will i know
[22:12] <Thugacation> sql injection
[22:12] <bjames> Slart: it seems to have partially worked - it's picked up the first of the concatonated files
[22:12] <Slart> Gekkomon_Shogun: the above statement comes with no guarantees what so ever... read the man page for the tool you're using.. don't trust the weirdos in this channel =)
[22:13] <EyePulp>  soundray :  if I was running out of memory and freezing, killing/stalling various processes (sshd, apache2) would there be some evidence left in a log that I could check after the fact?  I'm trying to diagnose a lockup that appears every few days
[22:13] <Faust3x> What emulators are there to get window games to work on ubuntu?
[22:13] <bjames> Slart: it appears to be a zip file, if I change the extension and open it only shows one file (I am expecting three)
[22:13] <Thugacation> concatonate means to join together
[22:13] <pike_> !wine | Faust3x
[22:13] <ubotu> Faust3x: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[22:13] <Thugacation> dumb word right
[22:13] <ballongen> how do i uninstall xubuntu-desktop?
[22:13] <Dr_Willis> Faust3x:  wine, or one of its variants.
[22:13] <pike_> Faust3x: you like fps games? there are a numbe of native ones
[22:13] <bjames> Slart: is there any way I can find the size and "dd" the other files from the conglomerate?
[22:13] <Faust3x> Wine doesn't work good for the game I am trying to use
[22:14] <Slart> bjames: yes.. I think it looks at the first bytes in the file.. but I'm not sure.. going a scan of several joined files will be trickier.. perhaps you'll have to write this tool yourself.. I can't really see how it's useful in day-to-day usage
[22:14] <soundray> EyePulp: I would expect out-of-memory conditions to be logged in /var/log/syslog
[22:14] <Faust3x> I wanna be able to play imvu.com
[22:14] <Gekkomon_Shogun> i how i did this right
[22:14] <ompaul> Thugacation, this is not a chat channel it is a very busy ubuntu support channel, please keep that in mind
[22:14] <EyePulp> soundray: nice
[22:14] <neverblue> Faust3x, I wanna win the lottery :)
[22:14] <bjames> Slart: I'm looking at reverse-engineering my router firmware (at least in part) as I suspect it has some GPL code in it
[22:14] <Thugacation> how much do you guys get paid to give support to random people
[22:14] <tanath> MrObvious, well, i tried the firewall... it's not that. seemed to help for a few seconds, but still lagging. might be the HDD after all :(
[22:14] <dnanar> hi all !
[22:14] <Slart> bjames: who is this evil person that has joined your precious, but still unknown files, that you need so badly? =)
[22:14] <Thugacation> i would do it for less than 10 bucks
[22:15] <neverblue> !patient | Thugacation
[22:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about patient - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:15] <neverblue> oh :o
[22:15] <soundray> !attitude | Thugacation
[22:15] <ubotu> Thugacation: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[22:15] <dnanar> [please excuse me, i'm not sure that i can ask this here] i'm french and i made an very short english essay about free software for english class. Can i ask here an english speaker to check it please ? :D
[22:15] <neba> que paso??
[22:15] <bjames> Slart: I'm looking at reverse-engineering my router firmware (at least in part) as I suspect it has some GPL code in it
[22:15] <ompaul> dnanar, join us in #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:15] <neverblue> dnanar, there is a french channel
[22:15] <Faust3x> if wine doesn't make a game run properly, will anything else work better?
[22:15] <lemontea> If i use the Ubuntu OS hard drive and use another desktop computer would it work?
[22:15] <neverblue> neba | es
[22:16] <neverblue> !es | neba
[22:16] <ubotu> neba: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[22:16] <Slart> bjames: oh.. well.. you're trying to split the firmware binary into separate files? .. well.. that sounds like a manual job to me.. a boring job at that =)
[22:16] <tanner> lemontea: most likely
[22:16] <dnanar> ompaul: ok thanks
[22:16] <Slart> Faust3x: cedega might be different.. not sure about better
[22:16] <bjames> Slart: I guess so
[22:16] <bjames> :-(
[22:16] <soundray> lemontea: you mean "transplanting" the hard drive from one machine to another?
[22:16] <lemontea> soundray yes
[22:16] <Faust3x> is cedega free if so what is the link to download
[22:16] <lemontea> soundray is it possible?
[22:16] <Slart> Faust3x: nope.. it's commercial
[22:17] <soundray> lemontea: it's possible. Whether it works or not depends on how similar the machines are.
[22:17] <javaguru> Thugacation: Linux is about sharing what you can ..  You could buy a copy of SpinRite for 89 bucks off grc.com and see if it can fix your hard drive.
[22:17] <soundray> lemontea: if the origin is a 64bit machine and the target one is 32bit, it won't work.
[22:17] <bjames> Slart: maybe if I extract the known file from the file and create a zip from it, then compare this to the original and try again
[22:18] <Faust3x> well wine plays the game, it just makes the game laggy and slow, and the graphics are messed up
[22:18] <tanath> MrObvious, can't buy stuff online... and i don't have windows anyway
[22:18] <QuickGold> Anyone have any server recommendations for an Ubuntu box running Drupal?
[22:18] <soundray> lemontea: your chances of being able to at least boot in recovery mode are good if the target machine is more recent
[22:18] <lemontea> soundray what if both are 32 bits is it still possible i heard someone had a  black screen with xorg error
[22:18] <bjames> Slart: although this depends on knowing the exact format of the zip
[22:18] <bjames> argh
[22:18] <ikonia> tanath: apologies for the slow reponse, I was just researching a few thing
[22:18] <ikonia> tanath: how are you getting on
[22:18] <portablejim> I want to get 32bit firefox and the other codecs on Gutsy 64bit. I have installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202537 just confised me and i do not know what to do.
[22:18] <tanath> ikonia, i've determined it's not the firewall. it may be a dying hdd
[22:19] <Slart> bjames: I wouldn't really know where to start.. sorry.. and it
[22:19] <soundray> lemontea: yes, that would be the case if the graphics hardware is different. You could change the configuration to use the vesa driver to improve your chances.
[22:19] <Dr_Willis> tanath:  check the output of 'dmesg'  - often when my HDs are dieing - i see a lot of  messages in there about them.
[22:19] <ikonia> tanath: ok, thats an interesting though, try running ioscan for a bit and seeing if read/write or seek times are slow
[22:19] <roshi> user's default session and language in the user's
[22:19] <roshi>         ~/.dmrc and will use these defaults if the user
[22:19] <roshi>         did not pick a session or language in the login GUI.
[22:19] <Slart> bjames: and it's hard to come up with some hints when I have no idea what the file looks like or what it does
[22:19] <b0ha> hello
[22:19] <tanath> Dr_Willis, i have... it's complaining
[22:19] <b0ha> i have 2 computers
[22:19] <ikonia> tanath: ahhh well found
[22:19] <roshi> how do i change this any one?
[22:19] <b0ha> connectet to router
[22:19] <Faust3x> is there a reason why wine distorts the game I am trying to play and makes it slow?
[22:19] <ikonia> b0ha: ask your question on one line
[22:20] <Dr_Willis> tanath:  time to be making backups. :)
[22:20] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: good call
[22:20] <QuickGold> Anyone have any server recommendations for an Ubuntu box running Drupal?
[22:20] <creature> Hello. I've just tried booting after the install (using the alternative installer for the more flexible partitioner), and it errors out with "Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev ALERT! /dev/mapper/vg-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!". So, how do I troubleshoot and how do I fix?
[22:20] <tanath> Dr_Willis, can't. it's a nearly full 250Gb HDD
[22:20] <Slart> Faust3x: ask in #winehq instead.. that's what that channel is there for
[22:20] <Faust3x> ty
[22:20] <lemontea> soundray how would i fix / work the way around the xorg screen?
[22:20] <foo-nix> Dr_Willis: My netbeans works now :) been erroring about all lately, probably due to not getting a 'lock' on X. I thought X was not a resource :P
[22:20] <Dr_Willis> tanath:  whats why i keep a large # of externalUsb hard drives around.
[22:20] <tanath> Dr_Willis, i did buy another larger HDD, but it's a sata, and turns out my comp doesn't have a sata port
[22:21] <soundray> lemontea: boot in recovery mode and run 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[22:21] <phoul> Im having an issue (Not pulse related) where randomly things will freeze up... Like epiphany, Usually happens when i use flash player, And then after that i more or less have to reboot because anything that has to do with audio will start freezing up
[22:21] <Dr_Willis> tanath:  dident read the package eh?
[22:21] <phoul> Like right now epiphany-browser just froze when i tried to open something on you-tube
[22:21] <tanath> Dr_Willis, no, i wanted sata... thought my comp supported it
[22:21] <XLV> tanath, you can either get a pci sata controller, or a pata to sata converter
[22:21] <nhorning> ah good
[22:21] <nhorning> ubuntu is the default
[22:21] <b0ha> how do i make lan ? i tryed connecting by FTP but max upload is 31kb/s since i have 1mbit connection. So why isnt the connection faster ? I have computers connected to router
[22:21] <nhorning> this is suppurt?
[22:21] <nhorning> err support
[22:21] <Megaqwerty> nhorning: correct
[22:21] <ikonia> nhorning: sure
[22:21] <tanath> XLV, ah, i need a new comp anyway... just can't afford on ATM
[22:22] <tanath> i'm kinda hoping it'll hold out
[22:22] <nhorning> ok, I can't get Ubuntu to start without acpi=off
[22:22] <nhorning> but when I do that I lose USB
[22:22] <ikonia> nhorning: probably a limitation of your motherboards hardware. What chipset is it
[22:22] <nhorning> and that means I can't print or transfer photos
[22:22] <nhorning> amd 64X2
[22:22] <XLV> tanath, well, both are economical solutions.. something like 20$ for a controller or 10-15$ for the converter
[22:22] <ikonia> nhorning: thats a cpu, not a chipset
[22:22] <soundray> nhorning: try 'pci=noacpi' instead of acpi=off
[22:22] <nhorning> err
[22:22] <lemontea> soundray how would i start up from recovery afterwards it would be fine right?
[22:23] <nhorning> my motherboard is a M2A-VM
[22:23] <nhorning> Asus
[22:23] <tanath> XLV, er, 'pata'?
[22:23] <XLV> tanath, parallel ata
[22:23] <whitman> Hi, is there a simple way to close an application after the machine has had no user input after a certain amount of time?  I'm trying to put together a kiosk like computer.
[22:23] <lex0> how do i fix my usb sound?
[22:23] <tanath> XLV, i have ide...
[22:23] <ikonia> nhorning: someone in here yesterday had the same problem
[22:23] <soundray> lemontea: erm, can you rephrase that question?
[22:23] <ikonia> nhorning: its a brand new board isn't it
[22:23] <nhorning> Well, I got it at fri's about a month ago
[22:23] <XLV> tanath, ide is term used for parallel ata
[22:23] <ikonia> nhorning: so about a month old
[22:24] <lemontea> soundray how would i boot up to recovery ?
[22:24] <Dr_Willis> whitman:  if you are refering to closing firefox. there are extensions for koisk fetures for the browser.
[22:24] <tanath> XLV, ah
[22:24] <Cpudan80> Does anyone use Ubuntu on a thinkpad T42 ?
[22:24] <ikonia> nhorning: the other guy got better support after a bios upgrade
[22:24] <Cpudan80> or a thinkpad T series?
[22:24] <ikonia> Cpudan80: sure, I have one
[22:24] <whitman> Dr_Willis, it's not firefox
[22:24] <Cpudan80> ikonia: Do you use an external monitor?
[22:24] <javaguru> Cpudan80: i run it on a T60
[22:24] <nhorning> I updated the bios
[22:24] <ikonia> Cpudan80: T30, T23 and T40
[22:24] <nhorning> I'm pretty sure
[22:24] <ikonia> Cpudan80: not at th emoment but I have
[22:24] <soundray> lemontea: it's the second option on the grub boot menu. You may have to hit Esc to see that -- watch your boot messages carefully
[22:24] <ikonia> nhorning: ahh he got better results with the latest
[22:24] <Cpudan80> ikonia: Ever noticed that videos wont play on it?
[22:24] <nhorning> the update utility the have used windows
[22:24] <ikonia> Cpudan80: can't say I have no
[22:24] <lex0> how do i fix my usb sound i have SB Live! 24-bit external???
[22:24] <Cpudan80> They'll play on the LCD ikonia
[22:24] <nhorning> what, like the very latest?
[22:24] <Cpudan80> javaguru: You ever had this problem?
[22:25] <soundray> nhorning: try 'pci=noacpi' instead of acpi=off
[22:25] <nhorning> ok
[22:25] <nhorning> brb
[22:25] <ikonia> nhorning: yup, he was in here yesterday, or the day before, no later, also checkout soundray's advice
[22:25] <javaguru> Cpudan80: i've just installed it
[22:25] <javaguru> so no
[22:25] <phoul> Im having an issue (Not pulse related) where randomly things will freeze up... Like epiphany, Usually happens when i use flash player, And then after that i more or less have to reboot because anything that has to do with audio will start freezing up
[22:25] <phoul> Any ideas?
[22:25] <Cpudan80> javaguru: Try it and see :-)
[22:25] <Cpudan80> ikonia: I dont suppose you'd have any advice?
[22:25] <lex0> can someone help me?
[22:25] <Cpudan80> ikonia: Reconfiguring xorg.conf did no good
[22:26] <ikonia> Cpudan80: how are you using two monitors, what is your X setup
[22:26] <soundray> phoul: is your RAM all right? Check with the memtest86 option from the boot menu. Leave it to run a few hours (unless you see errors sooner)
[22:26] <lemontea> soundray afterwards it would run perfectly?
[22:26] <Cpudan80> ikonia: gimmie a sec and I'll pastebin the file
[22:26] <phoul> soundray, the rams fine... i think its exclusivly with flash at this point
[22:26] <javaguru> Cpudan80: maybe you can give the player some kind of display 0:1 parameter
[22:26] <QuickGold> Anyone have any server recommendations for an Ubuntu box running Drupal?
[22:26] <phoul> The only other time is when i run secondlife, But secondlife is messed up anyways
