 why don't u try using some emulator for linux
[09:34] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, thanks.
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> np chilli0
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> np n2diy
[09:34] <doc``> ok, is it just me or in unraring in ubuntu way slower then windows?
[09:34] <panesar_sandeep> chilli0 : get a free xbox emulator and joystics
[09:34] <chilli0> mm
[09:35] <chilli0> does it work very well?
[09:35] <defrysk> doc``, its you ;)
[09:35] <dishwasherjoe> Yeah I've noticed that aswell doc
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> doc``: never timed it i must say
[09:35] <shruggar> crdlb, yeah, visual effects are set to "none" and ps -fe|grep metacity lists a process
[09:35] <doc``> i mean it feels really slow
[09:36] <dishwasherjoe> Especially for split rar's
[09:36] <_DEL> know a room for metasploit?
[09:36] <doc``> yes split rars is what im doing
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> doc``: could always run winrar in wine to see if its faster
[09:36] <shruggar> is there any way to ask a window what workspace it thinks it's on?
[09:36] <panesar_sandeep> chilli0 : m not sure cause i hv jst heard about it but if u would b able 2 run the emulator on your system u can buy joystics later.
[09:36] <chilli0> mmk il have a look
[09:36] <doc``> feels like a bad workaround though
[09:37] <DigitalKiwi> !u
[09:37] <akventure> why would permission be denied when i try to make a directory?
[09:37] <crdlb> shruggar: if you can see it, it's on the current workspace :)
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> doc``: its proprietary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAR
[09:37] <lolipop> where can we get a free crossover linux :P
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> lolipop: you dont
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> lolipop: i think yuo can get a trial period
[09:37] <defrysk> DigitalKiwi, :)

[09:38] <shruggar> crdlb, is there a way to restart the window manager without restarting X / closing all open things?
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> akventure: sudo mkdir /usr/local/include/znc
[09:38] <AlexALX> e cineva din ro?
[09:38] <lolipop> ActionParnsip: too bad
[09:38] <crdlb> shruggar: you can run 'metacity --replace' in Alt+f2
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> lolipop: well its paid for software, try wine instead
[09:39] <panesar_sandeep> chilli0 : sorry no emulators for linux
[09:39] <omfgeiwhtqer> why arent there many good polished closed source non free apps for linux? (like pixelmator, coda, etc, etc on mac)
[09:39] <panesar_sandeep> chilli0 : but u can get one for windows and den run it via wine
[09:39] <AlexALX> how do i make a openvpn tunnel????
[09:39] <lolipop> ActionParsnip: i need to run Adobe software :(
[09:39] <panesar_sandeep> just give it a try
[09:39] <AlexALX> how do i make an openvpn tunnel????
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> omfgeiwhtqer: what do those do?
[09:39] <bohemian> ActionParsnip regarding gentoo wiki for creating groups with shutdown permission, the article is removed. you have other links?
[09:39] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, wow, Flightgear is a large program.
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> lolipop: then you could try qemu or shell out for crossover / cedega
[09:40] <omfgeiwhtqer> just examples of non free apps
[09:40] <shruggar> crdlb, well now /xchat/ is showing up on the list.. so.. it's different to what it was :)

[09:42] <ActionParsnip> n2diy: runs ok on my 1.6Ghz AM2 with 1Gb RAM and onboard nvidia 6250
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> omfgeiwhtqer: thats because it makes it so it can charge
[09:43] <dash84> a 14 y/r wrote the first code for firefox

[09:43] <joejc> how do i get my comuter to boot without having a keyboard connected?
[09:44] <dash84> sarcasm?
[09:44] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, ok, the cpu I can match, my ram is 256m, and the v-card is plain jane onboard whatever. Time will tell.
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> joejc: tell your bios to no halt on any errors (like no keyboard no mouse etc)
[09:44] <akventure> observation
[09:44] <Seedso> joejc, installed ssh?
[09:44] <joejc> yes
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> n2diy: just tweak settings
[09:45] <joejc> would that be under file, storage, security, power or advanced?
[09:45] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, I've been playing with linux for ten years, that comes as a given. :)
[09:46] <Roxy> Anyone available to help, currently?
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> n2diy: i assume nothing in here, millions have only used it a week. I treat everyone equal

[09:47] <matamou> Please help me! How do I remove Vista from a partition in my hard drive, not messing up Ubuntu?
[09:47] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, We're all newbies. :)
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> n2diy: indeed
[09:47] <shadeslayer> can someone point me to a repo where i can find Xtleds??
[09:47] <joejc> whats network service boot?
[09:47] <Roxy> Oh I see, sorry "I had a quick question, I am trying to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy but the upgrade keeps failing and apparently the prerequists-sources.list file has the original archive location listed and I don't know what to change it to."
[09:47] <Phreakish> matamou all i hav found is to reformat C:
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> matamou: format the partition would be my guess, it will remove ALL data on the partition so copy out anything you want beforehand
[09:48] <ZeRo_FeniX_> What's the command to go to a directory there's ls and c something
[09:48]  * shadeslayer shakes n2diy hands and welcomes him to the ' open ' worls
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | Roxy
[09:48] <shadeslayer> **************d
[09:48] <shadeslayer> *d
[09:48] <Phreakish> cd
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: cd
[09:48] <ZeRo_FeniX_> ty
[09:48] <panesar_sandeep> chilli0: u can try cxbx by using it via wine, just giv it a try
[09:48] <matamou> ActionParsnip : will it harm the grub?
[09:49] <n2diy> shadeslayer, thanks
[09:49] <shadeslayer> :)
[09:49] <Phreakish> would anybody know why an avi file which plays normally on windows skips in totem
[09:49] <shadeslayer> n2diy: what are you using??
[09:49] <Pontif_La_Rouge> how would I add a command to the rc file in /etc/init.d?
[09:49] <Phreakish> while all the rest play fine
[09:50] <shadeslayer> Phreakish: use VLC
[09:50] <n2diy> shadeslayer, 1.6g amd, 256m ram, 8g HD, running Hardy
[09:50] <oskar-> Phreakish, i suggest an error in the file, which some codecs can handle and some not
[09:50] <shadeslayer> hardy?? why not lbex??
[09:50] <kraut> moin
[09:51] <n2diy> shadeslayer, LTS
[09:51] <shadeslayer> ah
[09:51] <shadeslayer> hm still cant that repo
[09:51] <Daft_Punk>  is there a way to have the icon text (for the icons on desktop) to be readable on light AND dark backgrounds? (like in windows)
[09:51] <Roxy> Oh ActionParsnip, I already modified the sources.list file with the altered old-release lines. My problem is that when I attempt to do the version upgrade the manager defaults to "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-backports main/debian-installer" which doesn't exist and the prerequists-sources.list will not accept the old-release address
[09:51] <shadeslayer> ActionParsnip: is xtleds added in the Kubuntu repos??
[09:51] <Phreakish> thats another problem when i click vlc media player nothing happens
[09:51] <ZeRo_FeniX_> How do I create a new file?
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> !info xtleds
[09:52] <shadeslayer> Daft_Punk: use a GTK theme
[09:52] <Phreakish> same if i right click avi and hit play with vlc
[09:52] <shadeslayer> checked that already
[09:52] <n2diy> shadeslayer, I don't need LTS, but I like setting comfortable for three years, if I wanted to upgrade every six months, I could use Windows! :)
[09:52] <oskar-> ZeRo_FeniX_, touch <filename>
[09:52] <panesar_sandeep> chilli0: so , is it working ???
[09:52] <cooldduuudde> phreakish try running vlc in terminal and see what error you get
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> Roxy: you could edit all the codenames of your release to the next one up in /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:52] <shadeslayer> n2diy: well i like to be on top of things
[09:52] <Roxy> Okay
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> Roxy: if its that old, i'd recommend a clen in stall of intrepid / hardy (or wait a few weeks for Jaunty)
[09:53] <cooldduuudde> cooldduuudde
[09:53] <Daft_Punk> shadeslayer, i am using a gtk theme but using a file in my home dir, i can only make the text for icons white or black, not white with black outline or something so they can be seen on both dark and light bg's
[09:53] <|HSO|SadiQ> I get disconnected from the internet .... NetworkManager: <WARN>  pppd_timed_out(): Looks like pppd didn't initialize our dbus module
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> Roxy: there may be a more graceful way to do it but im not sure
[09:53] <Phreakish> cooldduuudde vlc is not supposed to be run as root
[09:53] <Roxy> Alright, I just assumed Feisty wasn't all that old
[09:53] <n2diy> shadeslayer, so did I, and then I got burned with the DOS 6.0/6.2 BS, where running chkdsk killed your HD.
[09:53] <Roxy> I'll try modifying the lines though
[09:53] <|HSO|SadiQ> !network
[09:53] <cooldduuudde> phreakish i just said run in terminal, not as root
[09:53] <shadeslayer> Daft_Punk: Daft_Punk: hmm,maybe you can customize the theme
[09:53] <Phreakish> i am logged in as root
[09:53] <shadeslayer> oops
[09:53] <shadeslayer> :O
[09:54] <cooldduuudde> lol...then log in as normal user
[09:54] <Daft_Punk> shadeslayer, that is not an option for a GTK theme
[09:54]  * shadeslayer nevers logs in as root
[09:54] <ZeRo_FeniX_> I found this guide on how to setup some stuff for phpmyadmin and it say to: 3. Go to /etc/httpd/conf.d directory and create a file with the name phpMyAdmin.conf (anything with the .conf extension will be parsed by Apache) and write a simple command: Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin  but something doesn't exist anyone have any ideas what to do here?
[09:54] <panesar_sandeep> chilli0: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/xbox-emulator-for-linux-298473/
[09:54] <shadeslayer> Daft_Punk: uh yes it is
[09:54] <Phreakish> is there any way to run it in root just out of curiosity
[09:54] <ZeRo_FeniX_> the httpd dir doesn't exist is it
[09:54] <Daft_Punk> shadeslayer, ok where is the option in any GTK theme (default) to change just the text color of the desktop icons?
[09:54] <ZeRo_FeniX_> so I'm assuming that there's a different place where I should be making this file.
[09:54] <shadeslayer> Daft_Punk: use rt click>appearences>theme>customizw
[09:54] <shadeslayer> *e
[09:55] <Daft_Punk> shadeslayer, there is no option in there...
[09:55] <shadeslayer> in colors
[09:55] <shadeslayer> tab
[09:56] <cooldduuudde> phreakish wait a min
[09:56] <shadeslayer> Daft_Punk: colors tab>selected items
[09:57] <shadeslayer> >text
[09:57] <cooldduuudde> nope gksudo vlc isn't workin....u can't run it as root
[09:57] <SuperMoopies> Lets say I wanted to check then set updates to download automatically only at 2-6 AM. How would I go about doing that ?  A crontab with some kind of apt-get update && (something here) ?
[09:57] <b3rz3rk3r> Daft_Punk, hey dude ;)
[09:57] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Any ideas where I should make this file? as stated above?
[09:57] <Daft_Punk> shadeslayer, perhaps you are unsure as to what i am trying to accomplish, you know the icons on your gnome desktop? they have text underneath them to identify what the icon is. the text is default white, but can be changed to black or another SOLID color by creating a file in your home directory with a simple script that overrides the default. I want to make the text black with a WHITE outline or vise versa so it can be seen on both
[09:57] <Daft_Punk>  light and dark backgrounds, the way you have mentioned is to change all the text in gnome, not just the desktop ones, also, it does not affect desktop text at all
[09:57] <b3rz3rk3r> Daft_Punk, i thought you solved that last week?
[09:58] <|HSO|SadiQ> is there an alternative for network-manager??
[09:58] <oskar-> SuperMoopies, you may want to use unattended upgrades
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> SuperMoopies: apt-cron ;)
[09:58] <shadeslayer> ooohhhhh
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> !info apt-cron
[09:58] <Daft_Punk> b3rz3rk3r, why is your not b3r now? also, no, that was to solve it for LIGHT backgronds (changing it to black) but some backgrounds are light AND dark (like a gradient) and renders that useless
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> !info cron-apt
[09:58] <phreakish> cooldduuudde thanx
[09:58] <SuperMoopies> ActionParsnip, I'm in Hardy
[09:58] <ZeRo_FeniX_> does it matter where I put a .conf file for apache to read it>
[09:59] <Tarinaky> I have a friend who needs '3c509.ko'. I don't use Ubuntu so I've no idea how to find out what package he needs to install.
[09:59] <shadeslayer> ActionParsnip: find that repo??
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: yes it has to be where its expected
[09:59] <SuperMoopies> oskar-, how would I check in to that
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: which repo?
[09:59] <shadeslayer> xtleds
[09:59] <b3rz3rk3r> Daft_Punk, hehe, ,that sux.. so you want inverse color scheme now?
[09:59] <matamou> is it possible to backup the Whole ubuntu to a usb-hard drive so that I could bring everything back up after I format my hard drive?
[09:59] <Tarinaky> I did a google search but this would be easier if I knew what sites or tools you're meant to look this up with.
[10:00] <ZeRo_FeniX_> ActionParsnip: Well I'm trying to make a .conf file with this in it "Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin" where should I put it to work correctly? any ideas?
[10:00] <Daft_Punk> b3rz3rk3r, no, i have a background that has a gradient from light to dark and i need the text on icons to be viewable so i need them to be dual colored, or shadowed, or bordered or something like in windows so you can always see it
[10:00] <doc``> ok has anybody used some usb speakers, mine are driving me crazy, have them working but not properly
[10:00] <Daft_Punk> b3rz3rk3r, why is your name b3r now instead of b3z
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/tleds

[10:02] <NateBenton> Hi there, everybody :)
[10:02] <panesar_sandeep_> hi
[10:03] <Daft_Punk> NateBenton, floods?
[10:03] <NateBenton> I bought myself a dedicated server the other day and plan to rack her in Chicago on the 8th, choosing Ubuntu as my distro of choice for the OS.
[10:03] <kop> panesar_sandeep, at the risk of getting the boot ,  "with a bigger fsck'n hammer"
[10:03] <b3rz3rk3r> Daft_Punk, i realize that this isnt really a good fix for your problem, but in the mean time a plain background would do the trick no? At least until you can figure out this text color junk
[10:03] <NateBenton> However, my only problem is it doesn't have a CD drive. No problem there's the netboot, right? But does the server edition have a netboot version? :/
[10:04] <panesar_sandeep_> kop: wat does dat mean
[10:04] <ZeRo_FeniX_> anyone know any opensource alternatives to cPanel?
[10:04] <NateBenton> ZeRo_FeniX_: zPanel
[10:04] <NateBenton> not open source, but free.
[10:04] <NateBenton> It also has Zantastico.
[10:04] <n2diy> panesar_sandeep, That is probably beyond the scope of this channel, maybe the folks in #linux-kernel would have a clue?
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: what is cpanel, we have no idea
[10:04] <NateBenton> The free alternative to Fantastico :PO
[10:04] <kop> panesar_sandeep, honestly w/o being a M$ partner the only way is emulation
[10:04] <NateBenton> I'm going to be using zpanel myself ZeRo_FeniX_
[10:05] <|HSO|SadiQ> I get disconnected from the internet .... NetworkManager: <WARN>  pppd_timed_out(): Looks like pppd didn't initialize our dbus module...how can I fix it???
[10:05] <ZeRo_FeniX_> cPanel is a web control panel for accessing various web functions
[10:05] <NateBenton> ZeRo_FeniX_: http://thezpanel.liquid-network.net/home/
[10:05] <Daft_Punk> b3rz3rk3r, your simpleton answer, has increased my level of frustration and rage towards the situation, and i now feel it appropriate to destroy something
[10:05] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Says for windows, I'm looking for a unix based one.
[10:06] <NateBenton> But yeah, does anybody know if the server version has a netboot like the desktop.
[10:06]  * Daft_Punk slowly turns green and giant with veins buldging out, all of his clothes rip off except for his purple shorts... he screams in agony and anger AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[10:06] <NateBenton> ZeRo_FeniX_: it is? o_O
[10:06] <b3rz3rk3r> Daft_Punk, lol.. we wont like you when u are angry?   :p
[10:06] <ZeRo_FeniX_> That's what it said on the website banner

[10:08] <aperson> ActionParsnip: yes, I tailed /var/syslog and the script runs
[10:08] <aperson> ActionParsnip: and I keep seeing sh processes spawned, but they aren't locking the screen
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> aperson: and do you have #!/bin/bash as the top line in the script?
[10:09] <aperson> ActionParsnip: I can manually run the script fine
[10:09] <ZeRo_FeniX_> What's the command to download a .deb package then install it?
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> aperson: then its the cron syntax thats bad
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: sudo apt-get install <whatever>
[10:09] <aperson> ActionParsnip: it runs via cron
[10:09] <aperson> ActionParsnip: it just doesn't work via cron
[10:10] <Administrator_> dawda
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: if its not on repo, download it as a file then run: sudo dpkg -i <deb file>
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: you will have to satisfy deps manually
[10:11] <OntzA> hi there
[10:11] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, Flightgear takes a lloonngg time to load, initially, hopefully this is all setup?
[10:11] <Stevethe1irate> !mp3
[10:11] <amt2> is there any place where I can ask about IPC?
[10:11] <petski> aperson, please check where PATH is set to
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> n2diy: should be, its configuring your profile with default fg stuffs
[10:11] <Administrator_> hi there
[10:11] <NateBenton> So would using Ubuntu, even if it isn't the server version, on a dedicated server to rack, there's nothing wrong or unstable about it, right?
[10:11] <aperson> petski: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[10:11] <NateBenton> seeing how I can't install the server version due to lack of a netboot
[10:12] <NateBenton> installing the desktop and then racking it in a datacenter can't hurt, right?
[10:12] <OntzA> has anyone know if it's possible to mirror existing installation? (I mean, create software RAID-1 adding a new hard drive)
[10:12] <aperson> petski: should I set that in the script?
[10:12] <petski> what does `which gnome-screensaver-command` say?
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> NateBenton: thats fine, you'll be using resouces for X but otherwise its fine
[10:12] <petski> the PATH cron uses could be different then the path in YOUR shell
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> OntzA: you can dd the data over and it will be identical
[10:13] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, Yes, while I'm waiting, I could be studying IFR, as I'm running out of daylight. :)
[10:13] <aperson> /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command
[10:13] <OntzA> I know
[10:13] <ZeRo_FeniX_> ActionParsnip: how do I download it as a file? what's the command for that?
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> OntzA: dd if=/dev/<source disk name> of=/dev/<destination disk name>
[10:13] <petski> okay, replace "gnome-screensaver-command -l" with "/usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command -l" to see if that helps
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: do you have a gui?
[10:13] <ZeRo_FeniX_> negative
[10:14] <NateBenton> ActionParsnip: Any tips to kill down the resources after it's all installed and done? I'm assuming things like removing the GUI would help :P, but anything else you can suggest?
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: wget http://wwww.whatever.com/path/to/file
[10:14] <Administrator_> can i do unattended instillation with ubuntu?
[10:14] <ZeRo_FeniX_> ActionParsnip: ty
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> NateBenton: you could always uninstall the x server and the desktop environt and the window manager
[10:15] <OntzA> the question  is how can you set up the raid-1 afterwards or Linux doesn't have any problems when you use mdadm to create the raid with that existing data and partitions
[10:15] <amt2> is there any place where I can ask about IPC?
[10:16] <NateBenton> Thanks :) I'm sure that'll help. I mean, it's a shame there isn't a netboot for the server version and all, but, I'll take what I can get, haha :)
[10:16] <petski> amt2, try here, maybe someone knows the answer
[10:16] <OntzA> I suppose it adds some sort of sectors to identify raid drives
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> OntzA: you can just copy the data over then access your raid controller to configure the array
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> OntzA: if its fakeraid (yuk) then im not sure
[10:17] <petski> aperson, any luck yet?
[10:17] <OntzA> I do not have a raid controller, I want to set up Linux software raid
[10:17] <naoshige> hi
[10:17] <amt2> well, probably my question is extremely vague, since I don't knwo anything about the specifics of IPC. But basically, I'm listening for a message inside a loop. The first time I send the messages, it is successfully detected by a mailbox. But after that, I keep sending more messages, and it seems like they're never detected. What could be wrong?
[10:17] <naoshige> how many recipients can i put in gmail's to field?
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> !raid | OntzA
[10:17] <aperson> petski: gnome-screensaver is running apparently, but my screen didn't lock
[10:17] <NateBenton> Anybody have any tips on how to harden the server when it's all installed?
[10:18] <administrator_> hvhgcvhgcv
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> NateBenton: get fully updated and configure iptables
[10:18] <bazhang> administrator_, english please
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> NateBenton: you could also install bum before removing the gui to remove unnecessary services from voot
[10:19] <Tryfon>  hi guys just a small question.. how can i get an input that is like "<number>+ <number>" and store each number and operator  into a variable int number 1 ,2 and char sign?
[10:19] <Tryfon> sorry wrong chanell
[10:19] <NateBenton> ActionParsnip: thank you for all your help. I'm jotting this all down, haha :)
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> NateBenton: you have a lot to learn
[10:20] <NateBenton> Yes, I know. >.<
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> !bum | NateBenton
[10:20] <petski> amt2, could you paste example code in http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ ?
[10:20] <Daft_Punk> Tryfon, i can see how ubuntu be confused with math...
[10:20] <Tryfon> lol c++
[10:20] <Daft_Punk> Tryfon, i can see how ubuntu be confused with c++
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> Daft_Punk: the terminal command are very C++ like
[10:20] <Tryfon> hehe
[10:21] <Tryfon> its c actually X
[10:21] <Daft_Punk> ActionParsnip, I apologize, I only speak elvish, yittish, klingon and english
[10:21] <Tryfon> iXD
[10:21] <NateBenton> I'm sorry if I've been annoying you, ActionParsnip :P But usually, the only servers I ran were test servers in a non-live environment, and I want to make sure i get this right before I rack it.
[10:21] <petski> aperson, gnome-screensaver might be using some other environment variables as well. Try "man gnome-screensaver" for clues
[10:21] <Pontif_La_Rouge> I just downloaded a file to my desktop called linuxwacom-0.8.1-6.tar.bz2, and I'm using the next command in the guide which is tar xjvf linuxwacom-0.8.1-6.tar.bz2 and it's giving me a funky error
[10:21] <amt2> petski, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/123723/
[10:21] <victoria> hi
[10:21] <NateBenton> Hi victoria
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Daft_Punk: i speak english, french, some italian, american and australian
[10:22] <Daft_Punk>  hi victoria
[10:22] <victoria> hi
[10:22] <Daft_Punk> ActionParsnip, english, american, austrailian are all the same
[10:22] <bazhang> Pontif_La_Rouge, did you not try wacom-tools ? its in the repos
[10:22] <amt2> petski, lines 337-362 are the most relevant i suppose
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Pontif_La_Rouge: is the file in your home directory?
[10:22] <Pontif_La_Rouge> It says cannot open, no such directory, error is not recoverable
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Daft_Punk: i know, thats the point )
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> ;)
[10:22] <Pontif_La_Rouge> it's saved to my desktop
[10:22] <victoria> i was reading that the splash screes should be on preferences but i cant see it there
 that's    tar -xjvf
[10:22] <victoria> any idea where it is
[10:22] <phreakish> is there any way to downgrade kernal 2.6.27 to 2.6.25 to work with the hirte rt2870 driver
[10:22] <Daft_Punk> ActionParsnip, your point seems as dull as a butterknife
[10:22] <Pontif_La_Rouge> oh they must've left out the dash
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Daft_Punk: its a joke.....
[10:23] <Daft_Punk> ActionParsnip, i must have missed the punchline
[10:23] <bazhang> !info wacom-tools
[10:23] <OntzA> ActionParsnip: that document is too simple, I already know how to set up software raid with new drives. But reading some of the links it has given me an idea
[10:23] <phreakish> is there any way to downgrade kernal 2.6.27 to 2.6.25 to work with the hirte rt2870 driver
[10:23] <Pontif_La_Rouge> I got the same error kop
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> OntzA: as long as you reach the goal then thats cool
[10:23] <victoria> NateBenton: i wonder where is the splash screens option?
[10:24] <phreakish> is there any way to downgrade kernal 2.6.27 to 2.6.25 to work with the hirte rt2870 driver
 that's    tar -xzvf   ?
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> phreakish: you may need to compile the driver for the older kernel. If you got the module in a package then it will follow you in the kernel once installed
[10:24] <NateBenton> victoria: What do you mean? When booting a live CD, for example?
[10:24] <aperson> petski: looked at the man pages for both gnome-screensaver and gnome-screensaver-command to no avail
[10:24] <matamou> Hello, could anyone please help me removing/formatting my ntfs partition to make it a part of Ubuntu partition?
[10:24] <Stevethe1irate> Hi, having problems getting my sound working... When opening amarok, getting a "xine could not detect any sound drivers" error...

[10:25] <phreakish> action parsnip it says i need kernal.lzm to compile but it also says it not work with 2.6.27
[10:25] <phreakish> on the forum i mean
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> matamou: you can format it there and then use it as data storage or whatever you wish
[10:25] <victoria> not a live cd.. i already have ubuntu installed, and i want to change the spalsh screen.. i download one and im reading the instructions that the splash screen option should be on.. sytems > preferences.. but i cant see anything there.. so any idea?
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> phreakish: then i guess you are stuck
[10:25] <matamou> thanks, only thing is that I cant see the Ubuntu partition in Gparted?
[10:26] <tengulre> I want to print process like , Loading 1-100%, I using echo -ne "$COUNT%" COUNT=$(($COUNT+1)), how to do?
[10:26] <Stevethe1irate> Hi, having problems getting my sound working... When opening amarok, getting a "xine could not detect any sound drivers" error...Anyone keen to help me fix it?

[10:27] <Stevethe1irate> phreakish: lspci would indicate 00:0f.0 Audio device: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Azalia Audio Controller
[10:27] <matamou> ActionParsnip: it still shows only sda1 and sda2 there :o ?
[10:28] <phreakish> is there any drivers installed
[10:28] <kop> Pontif_La_Rouge, as long as it's not contagious
[10:28] <phreakish> aka does it work at all
[10:28] <Stevethe1irate> alsamixer says : │ Card: HDA SIS966                                                                                │

[10:28] <Stevethe1irate> oops, formatting.
[10:28] <victoria> Daft_Punk: hi
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> matamou: then im guessing your other partitions arenet seen. Im guessing those are your / and /swp
[10:28] <Pontif_La_Rouge> haha well there's this oozing puss, lol jk  the error I got now is "gzip: stdin: not in gzip format"
[10:29] <victoria> Daft_Punk: im trying to install a new splash screen.. but i cant found the option to change it.. i already download the one i want.. but i just need to know where to change it:)

[10:29] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Anyone know how to turn off SSL in apache 2?
[10:30] <Stevethe1irate> phreakish: Otherwise, not sure what drivers are on.
[10:30] <cumulus007> thanks you
[10:30] <aperson> would anyone know why this script: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/123724/ won't run via cron?
[10:30] <cumulus007> is it made executable?
[10:30] <Myrtti> aperson: escape the spaces
[10:30] <cumulus007> why
[10:30] <cumulus007> there are quotes around it
[10:30] <Myrtti> oh, no, wait
[10:31] <amt2> petski, did you get a chacne to look at it?
[10:31] <phreakish> try googling drivers for it and installing those otherwise I'm afraid i'm too new to the scene to be of much help
[10:31] <victoria> hello can someone help me. i need to know where can i change the splash screen
[10:31] <Myrtti> I'd put ${file}
[10:31] <aperson> Myrtti: it runs fine by itself, just not via cron
[10:31] <Stevethe1irate> Hi, having problems getting my sound working... When opening amarok, getting a "xine could not detect any sound drivers" error...Anyone keen to help me fix it?
[10:31] <Myrtti> victoria: which splash screen, the one when you login in gnome?
[10:31] <cumulus007> of course
[10:31] <petski> amt2, i did, unfortunatly, i don't know the answer (I'm at work currently, so i can't dig deeper)
[10:31] <phreakish> try asking actionparsnip he seems knowledgable
[10:32] <cumulus007> aperson: cron runs at root
[10:32] <victoria> Myrtti: yes, i already download the one i want.. now i just need to change it.. where?
[10:32] <cumulus007> aperson: and cron doesn't know on which tty X runs
[10:32] <amt2> petski, ok, thanks anyway
[10:32] <CraigGB> hi, just wondering if i force intrepid to upgrade to jaunty using the 'update-manager -d' method, when the karmic koala early builds are released will it automatically upgrade to them too?, many thanks if anyone answers:)
[10:32] <cumulus007> aperson: you have to add the screen number of X to the screenshot commands
[10:32] <Stevethe1irate> phreakish: I'll wait for someone to offer help :D
[10:33] <phreakish> stevethelirate you might have to ask 5-6 times
[10:33] <phreakish> i did :)
[10:33] <Stevethe1irate> phreakish: I am not new to IRC oke.
[10:34] <phreakish> sorry just trying to help :(

[10:34] <phreakish> like i said i am really new to the scene
[10:34] <Stevethe1irate> Peddy: ls -n | grep -> should show most.
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> Stevethepirate: seems like a solution there
[10:34] <Stevethe1irate> I mean, ls -n
[10:34] <Stevethe1irate> ta action
[10:35] <aperson> cumulus007: it is supposed to lock the screensaver, and it is running on my user
[10:35] <adante> hi, is it safe to install rpms in ubuntu?
[10:35] <ziroday> adante: no
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> Stevethepirate: i'd rename instead of deleting though :)
[10:35] <ziroday> adante: what are you trying to install?

[10:35] <Dolunay> hi

[10:35] <Peddy> Stevethe1irate, thanks, but it says "syntax error near unexpected token `newline'"
[10:35] <aperson> cumulus007: I set it up via crontab -e, not sudo crontab -e
[10:36] <ZeRo_FeniX_> Is anyone familiar with apache? if so how can I turn off ssl?
[10:36] <ziroday> adante: read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> ZeRo_FeniX_: i'd ask in #apache
[10:36] <aperson> cumulus007: and when I tail /var/syslog it says it runs via my user
[10:36] <cumulus007> aperson: I think you need to specify the screen number
[10:36] <aperson> cumulus007: how would I go about that?
[10:37] <adante> ziroday: cheers!
[10:37] <cumulus007> aperson: I don't know
[10:37] <Peddy> Stevethe1irate, is there a way of listing just the link names, so I can pipe them into another program?
[10:37] <dennda> rkhunter reports several files like useradd have been changed recently. I did an update yesterday. Does rkhunter not take into account changes due to updates?
[10:37] <Marsjanin> Hello. About a year ago I added some command to SOME running/booting script, and now I can't find it. Please, help me. It could be some init.d or initd.something, I'm looking for it almost a hour and nothing. I added some hdparm -S command there, now I want to edit that value.
[10:37] <Peddy> Stevethe1irate, what I ultimately want to achieve is converting them all to hard-links, problem is there are a lot of them.
[10:38] <Dolunay> Türkçe bilen var mı :)

[10:38] <Peddy> thanks ziroday
[10:38] <Marsjanin> ActionParsnip: I'm afraid I edit that in gedit :(
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> Marsjanin: if you want to execute the EXACT command again, use: !<number in list>
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> Marsjanin: then it should be in recently opened in gedit (maybe)
[10:39] <quibbler> !tr
[10:39] <Marsjanin> No; I want to find a file :) Recently, nope... after a year? :]
[10:39] <cumulus007> apgot it
[10:39] <cumulus007> aperson: got it
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> Marsjanin: sure why not, it may keep the last say 20 in hich case it may still be there
[10:40] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, Flightgear is not going well, my hard drive has been thrashing for 30 minutes, my screensaver kicked in, and I can't get back to my screen, and I can't Ctrl+Alt+Fx to a terminal, I think I may have to ssh into the box to see what is happening?
[10:40] <Marsjanin> What _text_ files Ubuntu is processing when booting?
[10:40] <Testrum> Hello
[10:40] <cumulus007> run this: DISPLAY=:0.0 xhost +
[10:40] <Peddy> ziroday, that doesn't list only symbolic links... basically I'm trying to pipe the symbolic links into this program: http://ryans-bliggity-blog.blogspot.com/2006/10/convert-soft-links-to-hard-links.html because I can't understand its syntax.
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> n2diy: yikes, crazy stuff
[10:40] <Peddy> Marsjanin, have a look in /etc/init.d/
[10:41] <aperson> cumulus007: access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
[10:41] <CraigGB>  hi, just wondering if i force intrepid to upgrade to jaunty using the 'update-manager -d' method, when the karmic koala early builds are released will it automatically upgrade to them too? as i wish to use jaunty but no pre releases after that, many thanks if anyone answers:)
[10:41] <cumulus007> aperson: does it work now
[10:41] <Marsjanin> Peddy: yup... I did already
[10:41] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, yes, and ssh isn't responding!
[10:41] <Stevethe1irate> ActionParsnip: Doesn't seem to help :(
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> n2diy: does ctrl+alt+backspace work?
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> Stevethe1irate: bah
[10:42] <Peddy> Marsjanin, when you first did the text-file thing, were you making a new one or editing a previously-created one?
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> Stevethe1irate: make sure amarok is set to use the right sound settings
[10:43] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, I just tried it, no, wait, I have a terminal now on F2.
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> Stevethe1irate: does it work okay after a reboot
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> n2diy: good enough
[10:43] <Stevethe1irate> Its set to xine as engine, alsa as output container
[10:44] <Stevethe1irate> ActionParsnip: Um, I just restarted?
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> Stevethe1irate: do sounds work in other apps?
[10:45] <Marsjanin> Peddy: I'm afraid I don't understand You. I think I'll edit an existing file... Just I cannot find it. I forget what file that was. :/
[10:45] <Stevethe1irate> ActionParsnip: I haven't tried.. only really amarok
[10:45] <Stevethe1irate> Ok, VLCs sound doens't work
[10:45] <Peddy> Marsjanin, so you edited a system file, not created a new one?
[10:45] <Stevethe1irate> But no error messages
[10:45] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, I just tried it, and it didn't work. My terminal on tty2 is going to time out at log in.
[10:45] <aperson> cumulus007: nope
[10:45] <Marsjanin> I remember SOME "init.d", "init.rd", "initd.something", "rc or rd.local"...
[10:46] <cumulus007> aperson: I'm sorry, I don't know then
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> Stevethe1irate: well thers your next step
[10:46] <aperson> cumulus007: thanks for your help
[10:46] <Peddy> Marsjanin, gedit /etc/rc.local
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> n2diy: reboot if you can
[10:46] <Marsjanin> Yup, I edited an existing file, that has previously "IIRC" only a comment line.
[10:46] <cumulus007> np
[10:46] <Stevethe1irate> ActionParsnip: But um, nonetheless.. I still need to fix my sound.
[10:47] <Marsjanin> Do You think the file could be removed by the system somehow?
[10:47] <Peddy> Marsjanin, isn't it /etc/rc.local?
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> Stevethe1irate: well yeah but if sound works in other apps and just not amarok then you have isolated the issue. If yu have zero sound then you have a system wide issue
[10:48] <Stevethe1irate> Yeah, got that.
[10:48] <Stevethe1irate> Looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[10:48] <Stevethe1irate> atm
[10:48] <dennda> What is QM_MODULES?

[10:54] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, ok, the box became unresponsive, couldn't bring up o tty, or ssh into it, so I did a hard shutdown, and I'm trying over again, I suspect 256m of ram isn't cutting it?

[10:58] <shadeslayer> Huffameg: sorry i have to go somewhere,that was just a generic link
[10:58] <ziroday> zilleplus: what exactly are you trying to open?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> Dykam: use terminal
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> Dykam: its way easier
[10:58] <zilleplus> /etc/network/interfaces is for the configuration of the network when is use it it say's  no such file ore directory
[10:58] <Dykam> ok
[10:58] <defrysk> shadeslayer, try zarfy

[10:58] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, Umm, ok, but I don't think FG knows either, for giggles, I clicked on the mouse, and now I have my control consule, but the HD is still busy. But maybe now I can play/fly?
[10:58] <glitsj16> shadeslayer: grandr is a gui for randr you might have a look at

[11:08] <lollan> I installed unbuntu on my USB disk but it wrote grun into the mbr of my internal hdd, so I wrote back the mbr and then I thought that If from the bios I ask to start from the usb key it will work, but it didn't. What I want basically is to install ubuntu on my usb disk, all of it.

[11:09] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: ok, it says i686 which means its 32bit
[11:09] <aperson> glitsj16: though now I can't get it to unlock my screen

[11:09] <vigo> lollan: Maybe put the USB stick in and run fix grub
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: it says x86_64 == 64bit
[11:09] <glitsj16> aperson: unlock via cron ? or what do you mean exactly ?
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: so this is super easy
[11:09] <Huffameg> ActionParsnip: i see.. ok.
[11:09] <vc6> ActrionParsnip: and this is the default?
[11:10] <MaxiPsycho> ... i have a question, with wubi and lubi (making the system run inside a loopfilesystem) since lubi doesn't like 8.10 (or 9.04 for that matter) is there a way to do a similar system (or use wubi installer and run it on grub bootloader, not windows)?
[11:10] <aperson> glitsj16: I am using blueproximity to lock/unlock my display when I am away from my computer
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[11:11] <glitsj16> aperson: ow i see, didn't follow your thread from the start sorry
[11:11] <lollan> vigo: I am going to reinstall it, since I rewrite the mbr with windows booter, but I don't want to have the same problem twice, my idea was to install ubuntu all on my usb drive and then plug it if I want to run linux.
[11:11] <sezoom> hello
[11:11] <sezoom> how to change the order of authentication in ssh to GSSAPI,......, publickey
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: will remove flash as well as all straggling packages doing nothing then will download a fresh copy from the repository and install it
[11:11] <sezoom> how to change the order of authentication in openssh to GSSAPI,......, publickey
[11:11] <Huffameg> ActionParsnip: okay, i'll try
[11:12] <aperson> glitsj16: no worries, I'm trying to get my nas to run blueproximity rather than my desktop
[11:12] <SeJo> all i have set fs.file-max=1048576 in /etc/sysctl.conf
[11:12] <SeJo> but when starting ulimits -n still shows 1024
[11:12] <SeJo> why is that?
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: if thats no good theres one other way (youo will need to close all browsers before testing)
[11:12] <Stevethe1irate> Anyone here willing to help me with some netorking problems? Trying to set up NAT/ICS using firestarter, but local side [eth1] is not working... Can't even ping. Any help?
[11:12] <aperson> so I can have my desktop shut itself off and have my nas turn it back on when I'm in range
[11:13] <snek> I'm using  xvnc4viewer but even if I select 256 colors the server seems to always end up sending full color.. anybody know any fixes?
[11:13] <Huffameg> ActionParsnip: i doesn't seem to help..
[11:13] <MaxiPsycho> ...i guess no one knows, typical, just when i like an idea...
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: ok let me get something
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: download and extract this: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
[11:14] <vigo> lollan: Yes, ok, just download the USB or to USB, then maybe want to set BIOS to look for USB as first boot, or just boot into windows, then it might autodetect, that would be like running from a liveCD. sorta
[11:14] <glitsj16> SeJo: there might be entrees in /etc/security/limits.conf that overrule sysctl
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: then in terminal run: mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins
[11:14] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, Flightgear is not ready for prime time, it has locked up my test box again.
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> n2diy: then id log a bug of some sort, try get it up to scratch
[11:15] <vigo> lollan: If the system is not installed, it is not installed, see what I mean?
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> n2diy: all i can suggest is: apt-cache search flight
[11:15] <cfenix> hola?
[11:15] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, Rger that, ok on the search, I wanna fly not debug! :)
[11:16] <lollan> vigo, sorry I didn't get that. what do you mean by download the usb ? The system is installed but can't boot because I deleted grub, I already set the bios to start the usb drive but ubuntu didn't start.
[11:16] <snek> i actually use flashplugin-nonfree from the jaunty repositories
[11:16] <SeJo> glitsj16: nope
[11:16] <SeJo> glitsj16: nothing in there
[11:16] <quibbler> !es | cfenix
[11:16] <vigo> lollan: Right, you need to fix grub, it is a command, hold on
[11:16] <Huffameg> ActionParsnip: mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/jofu/.mozilla/plugins': File exists
[11:17] <cfenix> ok
[11:17] <cfenix> i'm getting started
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: thats fine, ok in that archve there is a .so file isnt there
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: copy it to the ~/.mozilla/plugins folder
[11:17] <vigo> lollan: Here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: i'll make this easier for you, did you by any chance extrct the files on your desktop?
[11:18] <vigo> lollan: That is fix grub and update grub, which is the most likely error
[11:18] <latrell> hey guys
[11:18] <lollan> thanks vigo I got check it out
[11:18] <glitsj16> SeJo: i take it you did a "sudo sysctl -p" after making changes to /etc/sysctl.conf ?
[11:18] <SeJo> glitsj16: yes
[11:18] <Huffameg> ActionParsnip: they're called teh same thing.. so i overwrite?
[11:18] <SeJo> glitsj16: even rebooted
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: yes
[11:18] <Huffameg> ActionParsnip: yes, i did
[11:18] <latrell> i got a question
[11:19]  * hamid11771 is seeking for an IRC expert, for setting up an IRC server. anyone ?
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: thats fine as long as you can get the extracted .so file in that folder i dont care :D
[11:19] <latrell> ok
[11:19] <glitsj16> SeJo: odd indeed, can't say i can think of anything usefull right now to assist :)
[11:19] <SeJo> glitsj16: ok thanks
[11:19] <latrell> so i installed ubuntu np , i then used the live cd to partition my hdd some more (cause loaded some other os on there)

[11:20] <Jeanne-Kamikaze> hello
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> hamid11771: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IrcServer
[11:20] <lollan> vigo: thanks but I have no access to ubuntu anymore, since I could'nt started I'm on windows. What I would like is some info on how avoid to do the same mistake (installing grub into internal hdd instead of the usb hdd) twice.
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: ok now that file is in there, kil all browsers and rerun
[11:20] <latrell> now when i turn on i have the option for windos server, xp and ubuntu ..but the ubuntu option ....it doesnt go to the actually installed version of ubuntu ist trying to load it from the cd
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: that will give you flash
[11:20] <latrell> even though ...its installed and i was usuing it like normal a few hours ago....
[11:21] <latrell> any ideas anyone?
[11:21] <Jeanne-Kamikaze> The nvidia drivers installer complains it kind find my kernel headers. Getting the headers from the repositories is not an option since this is a custom build. Any idea how to resolve this issue ?
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> latrell: take youor cd out of the tray?
[11:21] <latrell> yeah i do that
[11:21] <latrell> still had ubuntu option and if i load the default one
[11:21] <latrell> i does this
[11:21] <erUSUL> Jeanne-Kamikaze: yu have to keep the build directory around if you use a custom kernel
[11:21] <Huffameg> ActionParsnip: ok. done.. but it doesn't fix my problem.. the thing is that i only have a problem with myspace.. normally other sites are working fine..
[11:21] <latrell> loads gui for ubunto then goes to busybox v1.10.2
[11:22] <Jeanne-Kamikaze> erUSUL: yeah the directory is /usr/src/linux-<IP_ADDRESS>
[11:22] <king> latrell did you use wubi?
[11:22] <latrell> and has (initramfs) and i can write somethings
[11:22] <Jeanne-Kamikaze> and the build and source links in /lib/modules/<IP_ADDRESS> point there
[11:22] <Huffameg> ActionParsnip: it still tells me to activate javascript and download flash 9 or later
[11:22] <latrell> nope, i dont know what wubi is so i guess now
[11:22] <latrell> not*
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> Jeanne-Kamikaze: can you paste the output of uname -a in here please
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> Jeanne-Kamikaze: i'll give you the command
[11:22] <DIFH-iceroot> !wubi | latrell
[11:22] <king> ok . sorry than i have no idea..this is a typical wubi error..
[11:22] <quibbler> Huffameg: paste the myspace url
[11:22] <Jeanne-Kamikaze> Linux sha <IP_ADDRESS> #10 SMP Thu Feb 26 20:45:52 CET 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[11:23] <latrell> hmm
[11:23] <erUSUL> Jeanne-Kamikaze: then the nvidia installer should fin the headers there
[11:23] <latrell> thing is..it was all working before ....
[11:23] <Jeanne-Kamikaze> apparently it can't find em :/
[11:23] <vigo> lollan: Update Grub will update and repair the current Grub, I think the Grub on the USB is faulty, or sounds like it, maybe try a fresh download, check the MD5! then install the new clean Ubuntu onto USB, that is probably or is the best solution that I can muster up.
[11:23] <latrell> ubottu ..so u think i should install it again?
[11:23] <snek> what is the most recommended VNC Client for Ubuntu? am currently using  xvnc4viewer but having a few problems with it...
[11:23] <Huffameg> quibbler: it goes for any myspace-page with music on it, but you can try this one: http://www.myspace.com/adrianmyhr
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> Jeanne-Kamikaze: isnt that jaunty?
[11:24] <cygnusX> Hey, i have a simple question about Escrow. I'm going to work on a project as freelancer and the buyer wants to pay me through escrow, the problem is that i have paypal account and that quote isfrom escrow.com "PayPal payments are currently only available when both the Buyer and the Seller are located in the United States." Well, none of us is located in US, so he can't send money to my PayPayl account through Escrow, huh?
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> Jeanne-Kamikaze: whats the output of lsb_release -c   ?
[11:24] <bazhang> cygnusX, that is related to ubuntu in what way
[11:24] <Jeanne-Kamikaze> jeanne@sha:/usr/src$ lsb_release -c
[11:24] <Jeanne-Kamikaze> Codename:	intrepid
[11:24] <snek> hehe
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[11:24] <lollan> vigo, my problem is that there was no grub on the usb otherwise it would boot when from the bios I boot on the usb drive. can't use update grub because no access to ubuntu.
[11:24] <quibbler> Huffameg: not my music ..but it plays for me
[11:24] <erUSUL> Jeanne-Kamikaze: works for me... but anyway we can not support custom kernels or the nvidia installer here...
[11:25] <snek> lollan you can boot a livecd and install grub from there i think
[11:25] <Stevethe1irate> Anyone here willing to help me with some netorking problems? Trying to set up NAT/ICS using firestarter, but local side [eth1] is not working... Can't even ping. Any help?
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> Jeanne-Kamikaze: did you just upgrade to jaunty? i'm on the latest everything for intrepid and i'm on <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> Jeanne-Kamikaze: we'll glob it to make it easier
[11:25] <Jeanne-Kamikaze> ActionParsnip: I've compiled a custom kernel
[11:26] <Jeanne-Kamikaze> I had hardy heron
[11:26] <Huffameg> quibbler: well.. i don't know what it is yet, that's what i want to find out. :P
[11:26] <fevel> hey guys
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> Jeanne-Kamikaze: i see, then you'll need: sudo apt-get install  linux-headers-2.6.28*
[11:26] <fevel> I know there is a server version
[11:26] <vigo> lollan: Right, in windows download a fresh version to that USB, it will or should replace the Grub to a working one.
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> Jeanne-Kamikaze: should cover you
[11:26] <fevel> but can i use plain ubuntu as server?
[11:26] <n2diy> Stevethe1irate, what does ifconfig tell you about eth1?
[11:26] <fevel> I like gui
[11:26] <Jeanne-Kamikaze> ActionParsnip: the 2.6.28 headers are missing and those are for the generic kernel in the repositories
[11:26] <lollan> ok vigo thanks
[11:26] <Jeanne-Kamikaze> it will probably not do the job for a custom one
[11:26] <snek> fevel, yes.. you could install Desktop version and then install the server kernel
[11:26] <Huffameg> ActionParsnip: is it possible that it is being blocked by adblock or something?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> Jeanne-Kamikaze: thats all i can suggest
[11:27] <Stevethe1irate> n2diy: Nothing out the ordinary.
[11:27] <snek> although, you can install server version with a gui too i think
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: try disabling it
[11:27] <fevel> snek: can I do the opposite/
[11:27] <fevel> ?
[11:27] <latrell> hmmm
[11:27] <latrell> any other words of advice?
[11:27] <Stevethe1irate> Except that the base address is dead.
[11:27] <snek> fevel: yes.. i have one running at home.. installed server without gui, then installed ubuntu-desktop
[11:27] <n2diy> Stevethe1irate, what does ifconfig tell you about eth1?
[11:27] <quibbler> Huffameg: type about:plugins in firefox and see where the flash plugin is from..(what path)
[11:27] <Stevethe1irate> n2diy: Want pastebin?
[11:27] <fevel> snek: Ok, thanks man
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: you could always rename ~/.mozilla to something else, rerun firefox to crate a new profile, then copy to .so between the 2 folders
[11:27] <n2diy> Stevethe1irate, does it give you an ip address?
[11:28] <Stevethe1irate> Um.. eth1 is the internal networks NIC
[11:28] <latrell> i guess ill just reinstall it
[11:28] <Stevethe1irate> Its got <IP_ADDRESS>\24 addy.
[11:28] <snek> fevel: no problem, server has some nice extra features i thought, like supporting the service command the way redhat/centos/fedora uses it :)
[11:28] <snek> that's 8.10 server though
[11:28] <fevel> yes
[11:29] <Stevethe1irate> n2diy: Since i assigned it <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:29] <ViciousPotato> Hi! I'm contemplating dual-booting ubuntu; just wondering what the dual monitor support is like out-of-the-(metaphorical-)box?
[11:29] <Huffameg> ActionParsnip: well.. it seems that the adblock thing worked.. (oh, the shame! :S  ) now I just have to find out how to make adblock make an exception..
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> n2diy: make sure thats not the LAN ip of your router
[11:29] <n2diy> Stevethe1irate, \24? can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: indeed, you have a project now :D
[11:29] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, ifconfig wouldn't show the router.
[11:30] <zilleplus> is there a way to open files if you are in nano
[11:30] <latrell> what does the (initramfs) mean like command line?
[11:30] <Stevethe1irate> I can ping <IP_ADDRESS> from the gateway.. but not from any of the clients.
[11:30] <latrell> its come to that ...wont boot as such
[11:30] <zilleplus> is there a way to open files if you are in nano
[11:30] <lollan> vigo there is no grub into my usb
[11:30] <snek> ViciousPotato, that could take you some time to setup properly.. kind of depends on the support of the nvidia/ati configuration tool
[11:30] <Myrtti> zilleplus: ctrl - o
[11:30] <Huffameg> quibbler: okay, no.. not really my kind of thing either.. ;)
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> n2diy: just make sure you dont conflict any ip addresses
[11:30] <ViciousPotato> snek: Hmm. So, would you say I should install ubuntu with one monitor connected at first?
[11:30] <Myrtti> zilleplus: no...
[11:31] <n2diy> ActionParsnip, roger that.
[11:31] <latrell> ActionParsnip is there a way to load ubuntu..from the (initramfs) command line ?
[11:31] <snek> ViciousPotato: no leave them both connected if you want, it will just only use one
[11:31] <zilleplus> not ctr O is for saving
[11:31] <Stevethe1irate> n2diy: I can ping <IP_ADDRESS> from the gateway.. but not from any of the clients.
[11:31] <ViciousPotato> Ah, okay.
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> latrell: the minimal cd allows it
[11:31] <Myrtti> zilleplus: ctrl - r?
[11:31] <ViciousPotato> Thanks.
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> latrell: wait scratch that
[11:31] <snek> ViciousPotato: after having installed the correct video driver through the Restricted Hardware option you should also get a config tool which will let you configure multiple monitors
[11:31] <latrell> k i guess my installation is currupted
[11:32] <vigo> lollan: Aha! that is why it will not boot, I think, so do a fresh download, check the MD5 , then put it on the USB fresh.
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> latrell: sure if you know how to instruct grub to boot
[11:32] <ViciousPotato> Ah, I see.
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> latrell: i'd look at reinstalling grub
[11:32] <cyzie> is partner compoennt in apt repository still suported?
[11:32] <latrell> well i think i can get to that
[11:32] <n2diy> Stevethe1irate, ok, I'm probably in over my head already, never worked from a gateway before, but, can the clients ping each other?
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> !grub | latrell
[11:32] <latrell> ok
[11:32] <latrell> ok
[11:32] <lollan> ok vigo thanks, I'm gonna try that ^^
[11:32] <FloodBot2> latrell: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:32] <snek> lollan: you could use unetbootin to put ubuntu on a usb stick from an ISO
[11:32] <latrell> thanks mate
[11:32] <latrell> ill check it
[11:32] <vigo> okee dokee
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> wow floodbot is techy
[11:33] <snek> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> 2 lines and hes on you like a rash
[11:33] <quibbler> Huffameg: you can also try a new profile by typing  firefox -p in the terminal and creating a new one to see if that works
[11:33] <vigo> Botittude
[11:33] <cyzie> is partner compoennt in apt repository still suported?
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> quibbler: he found its adblock or something blocking it,he needs to add an exception so myspace doesnt moan
[11:34] <Stevethe1irate> n2diy: They obviously can communicate.. they are basically acting as peers on a \24 network... Its just they cant talk to the GW
[11:34] <lollan> snek, can I use it with the last stable ubuntu ?
[11:34] <Stevethe1irate> n2diy: and as a result, cant get onto the interwebs.
[11:34] <quibbler> ActionParsnip: ah OK
[11:34] <snek> yes, it supports auto downloading of most ubuntu versions and also many other distributions
[11:34] <n2diy> Stevethe1irate, ok, obviously I'm in over my head, GL.
[11:34] <Stevethe1irate> Heh, ta
[11:35] <Stevethe1irate> Going to lunch, if anyone is willing to help, plox pm me.
[11:35] <quibbler> ActionParsnip: that is one of the first things i would have tried...
[11:35] <mola0> hello people , this is my first time here
[11:35] <cyzie> is partner compoennt in apt repository still suported?
[11:36] <snek> lollan: you have the option to download a new iso straight from the makers, or you can tell it to load an ISO from your hdd and put that onto USB
[11:36] <quibbler> mola0: welcome
[11:36] <ciapsadm> Hi
[11:36] <snek> cyzie: what do you mean "supported"?
[11:36] <mola0> thank you quibller
[11:36] <mola0> where are you from  ?
[11:36] <quibbler> mola0: NL
[11:36] <cyzie> snek, when i enabled that in synaptic and do apt-get update, it just return error.
[11:36] <lollan> cool snek and it automatically install everything ?
[11:37] <lollan> into my usb ?
[11:37] <mola0> nice , I aM FROM Egypt
[11:37] <snek> lollan: yes
[11:37] <snek> cyzie: this line works for me: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu intrepid partner
[11:38] <snek> cyzie: just make sure you have the right version of course ;)
[11:38] <cyzie> well, i cant use the official archive.canonical.com cause the last tiem it gave me 1 hell pain in the ass. im using tw.archi... it just return me error.
[11:38] <quibbler> mola0: salem alkum  (don't know if the spelling is good)
[11:38] <lollan> thanks snek
[11:38] <snek> cyzie: it might be a problem with that mirror then
[11:38] <snek> cyzie: i will try with nl.archive for a sec to test
[11:38] <bazhang>
[11:38] <bazhang> #ubuntu-eg
[11:39] <cyzie> ok, good snek.
[11:39] <reenignEesreveR> i wanna forward a specific port only for certain IP addresses, how do i do that?
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> reenignEesreveR: iptables
[11:39] <bazhang> for help in egypt, mola0 /join #ubuntu-eg
[11:40] <martin101> does anyone here own a G1?
[11:40] <reenignEesreveR> ActionParsnip, thanks
[11:40] <latrell> hey ActionParsnip that worked mate
[11:40] <aperson> is there a way to have ubuntu shutdown after a period of inactivity?
[11:40] <latrell> but now it dont show windows server 2003 when i choose to select operating system LOL
[11:41] <snek> cyzie: it did not work with nl.archive.canonical.com but it did work with nl.archive.ubuntu.com
[11:41] <cyzie> mmmmm
[11:41] <maksfray> ыыыыыыы
[11:41] <noobish> hey all, running into an issue with my wifi
[11:41] <maksfray> hi
[11:41] <latrell> in gparted i can see the ntfs partition with windows server 2003 on there
[11:41] <latrell> its like /devsda1 (ntfs thats XP and it works fine)
[11:42] <noobish> im not connected to an ap right now and I dont want to be, but when i switch to console mode, im getting noise floor calibration timeouts and gain calibration timeouts
[11:42] <cyzie> i change the canonical to ubuntu
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> latrell: cool
[11:42] <noobish> how can I make it stop printing errors to the console about this?
[11:42] <cyzie> snek, ^^
[11:42] <snek> cyzie: ok, let me know if it works
[11:42] <cyzie> snake, whta do u do for living ?
[11:42] <snek> cyzie: i am a php/mysql programmer and now also system/server admin for my company
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> latrell: format it to ext3 then you can mount it anywhere on your system (except /proc) anduse it as a storage hold
[11:42] <Huffameg> ActionParsnip: ehm.. i'm trying to disable adblock for different pages on myspace, even for the whole site, but all i get is ugly ads but no player..
[11:43] <latrell> then its /dev/sda2 (and it has 5 [ubuntu],6 [ntfs windows server 2003],7[2mb of unusded stuff)
[11:43] <cyzie> snek, cool.
[11:43] <zilleplus> does annyone know why my ubuntu sever 8 does noet shut down on the command "sudo shutdown now" but he go's to a recovery menu
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> Huffameg: its not something i use,maybe someone else can contribute
[11:43] <Huffameg> ActionParsnip: okay, thanks
[11:43] <latrell> i think maybe because the dev/sda6 is under the dev/sda2 partition ...its not working?
[11:43] <kinja-sheep> Huffameg: How about adding myspace.com as an exception?  Or just don't use myspace at all. :(
[11:43] <noobish> the /etc/init.d/networking stop didn't work
[11:43] <zilleplus> woh do i fix it
[11:44] <latrell> like my NTFS parition is in side the main parition or something...
[11:44] <Huffameg> kinja-sheep: that's what i'm trying to do.. i've put adblock on disable for all myspace pages but the player still doesn't work..
[11:44] <latrell> that not exactly comprehensible though
[11:44] <latrell> sorry, hopefully u know what i mean
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> latrell: its a logical partition on an extended partition
[11:44] <latrell> yeah extended
[11:44] <snek> Huffamge: you're not using NoScript by any chance?
[11:44] <kinja-sheep> Huffameg: Disable the plugin and restart the firefox.  Try again.  If that doesn't work, then it sounds like a Flash issue.
[11:44] <latrell> and in that extended, NTFS partion and the ext3 for ububtu
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> as long as sudo fdisk -l sees it it doesnt matter
[11:45] <archman> Hello!
[11:45] <latrell> just its not listed as a option on bootup now
[11:45] <latrell> windows server 2003 atleast
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> latrell: no, you have an extended partition with logical partitions making it up
[11:45] <latrell> ok yeah
[11:45] <paul68> what is the keyboard combination to get the rotating cube with compiz?
[11:45] <latrell> can i pm u mate?
[11:45] <bazhang> !cube
[11:46] <cyzie> snek, W: Failed to fetch http://tw.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/Release  Unable to find expected entry  partner/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> latrell: the extended partition doesnt have a file system of its own, you have a primary partition on an extended partition, you then divide the extended into logical prtitions and you get what you want
[11:46] <archman> Every time I try to install something with apt-get it also lists me the packages that are no longer required. Are those safe to remove (in which also is a linux-headers-<IP_ADDRESS>, I use .12)?
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> latrell: sure i cant think of anything else really
[11:46] <snek> cyzie: your url now looks like this? deb http://tw.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid partner
[11:46] <Huffameg> kinja-sheep: yes, i just did that i found out that it was an adblock problem.. when i'm disabling the whole plugin everything works, but when i try an exception for one page or one site it doesn't work.. that is, it works for the ads but not for the myspace-player..
[11:47] <latrell> ok
[11:47] <freeqstyler> hello, i have problem with my archaic intel 845g graphic chipset. In theory, hardware acceleration is enabled (glxinfo returns "direct rendering: yes"), but for example viewport in Blender (or other 3d applications) is much slower than in Windows.
[11:47] <kinja-sheep> Huffameg: Myspace is an ad.  There you go. :)
[11:47] <cyzie> snek, so yes : deb http://tw.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid partner
[11:47] <snek> Huffameg: i have both adblockplus and noscript, and after allowing myspace in noscript the player works fine.......
[11:47] <Huffameg> kinja-sheep: haha.. yep..
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> latrell: check pm
[11:48] <snek> cyzie: i'm afraid that mirror doesn't mirror the partner repo i guess... maybe try another one?
[11:48] <Huffameg> snek: that's strange.. how come it doesn't work here..
[11:48] <snek> Huffameg: are you using adblock or adblockplus?
[11:48] <cfenix> who can help me? please!
[11:48] <cyzie> well, im using tw as it is very fast to me, the official give me like 5B/s
[11:48] <cyzie> shiting slow!
[11:48] <Huffameg> snek: adblockplus
[11:48] <archman> ActionParsnip: got a sec?
[11:48] <snek> cyzie: well there's more mirrors around.. try one from a country close to you
[11:49] <igor321> anyone know if jaunty is shipping with qt 4.5, google ain't helpin
[11:49] <cyzie> where is nl snek?
[11:49] <snek> cyzie: netherlands
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> archman: sure, sup/
[11:49] <archman> ActionParsnip: maybe read my above post @ 12:47 ?
[11:49] <ziroday> igor321: ask in #ubuntu+1
[11:49] <erUSUL> igor321: ask in #ubuntu+1
[11:49] <snek> igor321: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/
[11:49] <ziroday> erUSUL: jinx :)
[11:50] <ziroday> snek: I think he means, will it be shipped with jaunty
[11:50]  * erUSUL XD
[11:50] <archman> ActionParsnip: Can I safely remove those old kernel headers?
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> archman: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[11:50] <igor321> thanks guys
[11:50] <snek> ziroday: if it's in the repo's already then it should be shipped with it eventually too, no? :)
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> archman: sure if the kernelis no longer around, the headers are pointless
[11:50] <archman> ActionParsnip: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d4a3ad45b
[11:50] <cyzie> snek, my other repo will go to tw, then the partner, i willt ry some other mirror
[11:50] <cyzie> snek, what does partner offer?
[11:51] <archman> ActionParsnip: It can be chosen in my GRUB, if that counts...
[11:51] <snek> cyzie: yes, that's fine.. i sometimes mix different countries as well, like for some things i have used germany and others belgium
[11:51] <ziroday> snek: well if its in the repo then yes, but it unlikely to be.
[11:51] <snek> cyzie: i will have to have a look what is actually in it.. one sec
[11:51] <cyzie> snek okie dokie
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> archman: then grub hasnt been updated. You can check for kernels with: dpkg -l | grep ^linux
[11:52] <archman> ActionParsnip: says nothing...
[11:52] <snek> cyzie: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/partner/binary-amd64/Packages
[11:52] <cyzie> snek, nl give error as well.
[11:53] <snek> cyzie: hmmm that's weird
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> archman: try: dpkg -l | grep image
[11:53] <cyzie> snek, what's the url again?
[11:53] <snek> cyzie: deb http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid partner
[11:54] <archman> ActionParsnip: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5c23844e
[11:54] <cyzie> k just wont work.
[11:54] <pmitros> How is free software support for ATI cards in Intrepid and Jaunty? I know ATI released a lot of documentation about a year back, and the latest x.org snapshots claim to have okay support. I'm not sure how it is in shipping/pre-shipping Ubuntu yet. Is there stable 2d? Is there stable 3d? Does it work with hibernate/suspend?
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> archman: ok then look at what its saying can be removed and look at the linux-image packages in that list and compare, the version numbers must match exactly
[11:55] <snek> cyzie: ok, i am not sure what the problem could be then.. strange that it only happens for that repo but not the other ones.. i'm stumped!
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> archman: you can uninstall old kernels if you dont use them to gain ~30Mb a kernel
[11:56] <archman> ActionParsnip: uname -r says 2.6.27-12-generic, just to make sure...
[11:56] <YAA1> !info amba
[11:56] <YAA1> !info samba
[11:56] <cyzie> snek, where does the file that stored all the ubuntu server url ?
[11:56] <snek> cyzie: not quite sure what you mean
[11:56] <dfwef> could someone help me with WPA?  I have been through the wireless docs, and I can get it to connect with WEP but I can't get it to connect WPA
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> archman: good call
[11:57] <snek> cyzie: you mean /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[11:57] <cyzie> snek, when u run synaptic, u can choose the best servers around, now where does the synaptic refer the list from
[11:57] <cyzie> ?
[11:58] <snek> cyzie: oh i don't know.. i do everything by hand and never use synaptic :P
[11:58] <snek> cyzie: the whole graphical interface just confuses me and i prefer aptitude from commandline
[11:59] <cyzie> snek, i ussing my hand to type too.
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> !wpa | dfwef
[11:59] <fevel> can someone give me a hand? I am trying to build a script to check all txt files on a directory. If it finds any, it will interpret the first two lines as user and pass and create it with htpasswd. After that it removes all .txt on the dir
[11:59] <fevel> I have this...
[11:59] <dfwef> I have been through the docs
[11:59] <dfwef> I did the wpa_password thing, and it didn't work
[11:59] <naymyowin> hi
[11:59] <archman> ActionParsnip: ok, in those two lists just ...-generic is what matches, linux-headers-2.6.27-11 is not in this dpkg list, and also, why does apt-get not list these 2.6.22 and ...24 headers for removal also? :-/
[11:59] <dfwef> and its not a matter of installing/enabling supplicant
[11:59] <cyzie> snek, seeing is beliving
[11:59] <naymyowin> talk to me
[12:00] <paul68> !pastebin | fevel
[12:00] <naymyowin> i have goot uubuntu problem
[12:00] <xiq> hello, how can i download the xgl package for xubuntu
[12:00] <quibbler> !ask | naymyowin
[12:00] <fevel> cat *.txt| awk -F '{print "htpasswd -bp passwordsfile "$1" "$2"}'| rm *.txt
[12:00] <naymyowin> where can i get free shipment of UBUNT DVD version of Intrepid?
[12:00] <fevel> paul its a one liner
[12:00] <naymyowin> whenever i requested, i got free CD only
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> archman: if those kernels are installed, the headers are still useful
[12:01] <naymyowin> CD has no all feature includeds
[12:01] <snek> xiq: you mean glx?
[12:01] <naymyowin> i have no internet connection on my server
[12:01] <archman> ActionParsnip: no no no sorry, nothing matches...
[12:01] <paul68> fevel: sorry didn't know that was just informative no harm done
[12:01] <fevel> its not working. it simply removes all txt files but doesnt add to htpasswd
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> archman: then you can uninstall the headers as they are pointless
[12:01] <xiq> @snek: no, xgl for compiz super fusion
[12:01] <xiq> or w/e
[12:01] <fevel> paul68: no problem buddy
[12:02] <snek> xiq: super fusion even? hehe
[12:02] <xiq> oO so can you help me?
[12:02] <fevel> does anyone know what I got wrong on the one liner? Or have any sugestions
[12:03] <snek> xiq: i'm pretty sure you mean glx (and fglrx if you have an nvidia)
[12:03] <archman> ActionParsnip: so in dpkg list remains that what is used momentally?
[12:03] <paul68> fevel: question is it a type of archive that you are creating ?
[12:03] <xiq> i have ati hd
[12:03] <snek> xiq: if you install the restricted drivers it should auto install it for you
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> archman: if you are happy with your current kernel then you dont really need the older ones
[12:03] <xiq> well thats my problem... where can i do that
[12:03] <archman> ActionParsnip: yes, i'm good with new...
[12:03] <snek> xiq: System/Admin/Restricted Hardware
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> archman: i like to keep the previous kernelas a fallback, unless i up my release then I start clean
[12:03] <xiq> thank you
[12:04] <Stevethe1irate> Anyone here willing to help me with some netorking problems? Trying to set up NAT/ICS using firestarter, but local side [eth1] is not working... Can't even ping. Any help?
[12:04] <fevel> paul68: I create txt files with user and passwd and I just throw it in the directory. The script will interpret the first two lines as user and pass and add it to htpaswd
[12:04] <archman> ActionParsnip: oh, sort of a backup? ok, the best ;) thanks!
[12:04] <xiq> you mean hardware driver
[12:04] <snek> xiq: or emmm System/Administration/Hardware Drivers
[12:04] <snek> :)
[12:04] <xiq> yes xD
[12:04] <paul68> fevel: ok but the htpaswd whats that? is that an archive or is it a file
[12:04] <snek> xiq: it differs per version of ubuntu i think
[12:04] <xiq> yay! thank you :D
[12:04] <snek> xiq: you will want to install another tool to configure compiz.. one sec
[12:05] <xiq> i have
[12:05] <Stevethe1irate> !compiz
[12:05] <xiq> oh!
[12:05] <archman> ActionParsnip: sorry for taking your time, but just one question more. How can I see how much space the unused kernels are taking?
[12:05] <fevel> its an apache tool that creates passwords and can be used for different stuff

[12:11] <tparcina> what package I need to install if I would like to install OpenOffice.org 3 on Ubuntu 8.04?
[12:11] <DigitalKiwi> xchat is nice if you insist on yucky gui
[12:11] <snek> stickboyy: compiling now, one sec
[12:11] <_DEL> i ussually just go with cmnd line for evverything

[12:12] <Stevethe1irate> Anyone here willing to help me with some netorking problems? Trying to set up NAT/ICS using firestarter, but local side [eth1] is not working... Can't even ping. Any help?
[12:12] <no_bother> can someone give me a hand installing nVidia drivers onto ubuntu? Im brand new to this
[12:12] <stickboyy> snek, since there's no 64bit version i used the source package at http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQLGUITools/mysql-workbench-oss-5.1.7.tar.gz/from/http://mirror.trouble-free.net/mysql_mirror/ the scripts there didn't work and the readme file doesn't have any linux help.
[12:13] <archman> ActionParsnip: I see that synaptic lists all of the kernels i don't use (I upgraded from gutsy to intrepid) in the Local or Obsolete section.
[12:13] <snek> stickboyy: check my pm
[12:13] <_DEL> when useing it, cn you pin <IP_ADDRESS> Stevetheliterate
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> DigitalKiwi: i use nearly all of pidgins protocols so to install an extra app for irc is a stupid idea
[12:13] <SpareBit> add deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu hardy main into /etc/apt/source.list and update
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> archman: then you can get rid of those too
[12:13] <SpareBit> <== for open office 3
[12:13] <_DEL> try to ping that number first, then a local ip, then a website
[12:14] <archman> ActionParsnip: ok, I hope that I'll boot the next time i turn on my laptop ;)

[12:16] <no_bother> its just a bit of a change from vista

[12:17] <no_bother> no, I have 4GB of ram and a 9800GX2 graphics card, so it wont run any faster
[12:17] <no_bother> yeah I like it already, Im just struggling atm
[12:17] <tparcina> SpareBit: OO.o isn't on official Ubuntu repository?
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> no_bother: you will have teething problems ut hang in there
[12:18] <SpareBit> no you have to add http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice to your source list
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> tparcina: it is but ver 3 isnt

[12:20] <ActionParsnip> archman: seems to marry up nicely
[12:21] <tparcina> SpareBit: ActionParsnip: Do you know why OO.o 3 isn't on official Ubuntu repo?
[12:21] <quibbler> lanoxx-: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid
[12:21] <jrib> tparcina: because it wasn't ready when 8.10 was released
[12:22] <SpareBit> ubuntu only has well managed packages on its lists ... right ActionParsnip
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> tparcina: not sure, maybe the repo managers havent put it up
[12:22] <tparcina> jrib: and they stop adding new packages once afther the new version comes out?
[12:22] <jrib> !sru | tparcina
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> SpareBit: you'd have to ask te maintainers

[12:22] <SpareBit> LOL ActionParsnip
[12:23] <archman> ActionParsnip: How can I evaluate that everything will boot after the reboot?
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> archman: your entries in menu.list match the kernels that you have installed so whichever kernel you pick (even the 2.6.22-14) it will boot
[12:24] <SpareBit> ActionParsnip: like the "real name" on info .... "purple", is that a purple people eater ? <teasing>

[12:35] <ActionParsnip> ubuntistas: follow that guide
[12:36] <linny1> ActionParsnip: yes some of them do the usally have .rar then r00 r01 etc

[12:36] <ubuntistas> actionparsnip
[12:36] <linny1> ActionParsnip: each set usally has one .rar i think
[12:36] <coz_> hey guys.. I have noticed in intrepid when in an application   Open and the dialog opens to choose a file it takes forever for it to be populated.. its extremely slow  any solugions/
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> linny1: find -name "*.rar" -exec rar x {} \;       will extract all the rar files as long as they are named .rar
[12:37] <sipior> Extreme_b: you can install the nfs-kernel-server package, which should install all dependencies en passant.
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> linny1: it could be 's instead of "s
[12:37] <jrib> coz_: using a non-default theme maybe?
[12:37] <coz_> jrgp,   ah yes I am
[12:37] <coz_> jrgp,  that's the issue?
[12:37] <Dykam> ActionParsnip, remember you told me to reboot with my wifi dongle plugged in, here is the log: http://pastebin.com/de1b048b - btw, I discovered I saved it to a file at 13:37
[12:38] <linny1> ActionParsnip: cheers
[12:38] <Extreme_b> sipior: do i have to set the respository
[12:38] <Extreme_b> ?
[12:38] <jrib> coz_: I have no idea if it's the issue.  You can revert to defaults and find out though :)
[12:38] <coz_> jrgp,  true I will test it  now another question.. I have read that wallpapers on jaunty have a fade effect  is that possible to backport to intrepid?
[12:38] <sipior> Extreme_b: shouldn't do, no

[12:49] <vigge_sWe> every driver makes to computer unuseable as it runs so slow
[12:49] <cherva> sipior: any other ideas ?
[12:49] <vigge_sWe> why would this happen?
[12:49] <FloodBot2> vigge_sWe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:49] <vigge_sWe> I didn't flood?!
[12:50] <sipior> cherva: without knowing what you were doing at the time the system crashed, i would say no, i don't.
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> Dykam: no notification of battery expiration not sure of others really
[12:50] <Extreme_b> sucitor: will like to enquire that do i need to do a sudo apt-get update in order to get the package of nfs ?
[12:50] <Phreakish> so i enter the command in terminal and it will work
[12:50] <Dykam> ActionParsnip, hehe, it is a desktop, no battery stuff
[12:50] <archman> ActionParsnip: I see they use up to an additional 200MB...
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> Dykam: then very very littel
[12:50] <sipior> cherva: had you upgraded anything around the time of the crash?
[12:50] <cherva> sipior: yesterday they started when I was playing Counter Strike with wine 1.1.5 and today it locked up in firefox
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> archman: well theres the hardware modules they use too
[12:51] <Phreakish> so i enter echo ndiswrapper >> /etc/modules in terminal and next time i boot it will modprobe ndiswrapper?
[12:51] <cherva> sipior: no
[12:51] <uriol> hi
[12:51] <uriol> good morning
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> Dykam: it can make system fans go insanely fast
[12:51] <Dykam> hmm
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> Dykam: you can always remove them if its no good
[12:51] <Dykam> :p
[12:51] <cherva> sipior: another crash in a native linux game
[12:51] <Dykam> ActionParsnip, would this fix the problem, or give other error messages
[12:51] <ubuntistas> actionparsnip iam in the seventh advice and the terminla is saying me use the scripts parameter to include the scripts
[12:51] <uriol> i'm sorry i have a very lame question
[12:51] <Extreme_b> sucitor: is there also any place where i can just download the package and put it into my server ?
[12:51] <lluc> hey.. anybody here knows where seahorse saves private keys by default?
[12:51] <uriol> but i don't know where it is located... my user folder ?
[12:51] <vigge_sWe> anyone?
[12:51] <sipior> cherva: if the software hasn't changed recently, might be indicative of a hardware problem.
[12:51] <uriol> in usr ?
[12:52] <uriol> share ?
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> Dykam: theres no way to know other than try
[12:52] <oskar-> uriol:  in /home
[12:52] <uriol> ok
[12:52] <Dykam> ActionParsnip, I mean... why do you think this could solve/be the problem, is it commonly know?
[12:53] <ubuntistas> actionparsnip?
[12:53] <cherva> sipior: yes that ran throught my mind too
[12:54] <uriol> i don't see any folder named /home
[12:54] <uriol> is it in /usr ?
[12:54] <sipior> cherva: might be worth running memtest, and lots of looking through logs, of course.
[12:54] <jrib> !who | uriol
[12:54] <lluc> anybody here familiar with gpg/gnomekeyring/seahorse?
[12:54] <cherva> sipior: I'm looking trought the logs right now
[12:54] <jrib> uriol: what exactly is your question?
[12:55] <jesus_> how does on deactivate the 'smart' (stupid) bash completion? That is, the one that must look at file endings.
[12:55] <uriol> i can't find my username folder
[12:55] <uriol> on the root tree
[12:55] <jrib> uriol: why are you looking for it?
[12:55] <sipior> cherva: unfortunately, random crashes can be very frustrating to debug, and your best weapon is the careful collection of information over many events. so, i encourage you to keep a short written log of every crash, the time, what you were doing, &cet., until a pattern (ideally) emerges.
[12:55] <oskar-> uriol:  if you have a linux, then there should be a /home with a home-folder for each user inside. but the layout may be different, for example home folders in /usr/home
[12:56] <uriol> i am trying to use the program gnomad to uload some mp3 to my mp3 player
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> Dykam: some system use weird power management which the kernel may not like so disabling th acpi functionality can make things work
[12:56] <zilleplus> i don't get it if i type in auto eth0 then its say's the cammand not found
[12:56] <co_sweet-kesepia> rara
[12:56] <jrib> uriol: and you are using the open file dialog in gnomad then?
[12:56] <cherva> sipior:  good idea
[12:56] <trae> I came in this morning and I can't log into my Ubuntu box.
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> ubuntistas: thats all i can recommend, its off the official guides so i'd go with it
[12:56] <vigge_sWe> How do I install the nvidia drivers so the computer is running fast and not crashes?
[12:56] <uriol> gnomad2
[12:56] <uriol> yes
[12:56] <trae> I put in my username and it says login failed.  (I haven't even put in my pass yet!)
[12:57] <ubuntistas> oc dude thx anyway
[12:57] <jrib> uriol: do you see HOME or Filesystem anywhere?
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> vigge_sWe: in terminal run: lspci | grep -i vga
[12:57] <Dykam> ActionParsnip, coud,l the fact that standby sometimes fails in XP proof my system fails?
[12:57] <bullgard4> There is an Evolution plugin 'Calendar Publishing'. What are its disadvantages against concurring programs?
[12:57] <vigge_sWe> "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Quadro FX 570M (rev a1)"
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> Dykam: possibly, you are going to have to poke your system to see whats gong on and see what makes it work
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> vigge_sWe: ok and whats the output of:lsb_release -c
[12:58] <uriol> i found
[12:58] <uriol> typing the address
[12:58] <uriol> manually
[12:58] <vigge_sWe> Codename:	intrepid
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> cool
[12:58] <trae> has anyone seen that before?  You put in your user name hit enter, and then you get: Authentication failed
[12:58] <no_bother> hey again
[12:58] <uriol> jrib, thank you
[12:59] <zilleplus> how do i open an tirminal in ubuntu server 8

[13:00] <akventure> issue=n00b error
[13:00] <no_bother> hey, how can I tell which nvidia drivers I should use
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> zilleplus: then there is no X server by default so you are in terminal
[13:00] <zilleplus> okey
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> no_bother: I use my tried and tested method: run lspci | grep -i vga
[13:01] <zilleplus> just wathing the link you gave me but the commands does not work
[13:01] <akventure> if i want to kill ZNC and reconfigure its settings... what do i type in the terminal?
[13:01] <vigge_sWe> ActionParsnip: should I restart now?
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> vigge_sWe: no, run: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[13:02] <zilleplus> .
[13:02] <no_bother> ActionParsnip: that just tells me which card I have, but what drivers? theres 4 choices isnt there?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> no_bother: example is: Quadro FX 570M
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> no_bother: so i search for: Ubuntu Quadro FX 570M nvidia-glx
[13:02] <no_bother> ah okay
[13:02] <no_bother> get ya
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> no_bother: a prize every time
[13:02] <vigge_sWe> is the warnings normal?
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> no_bother: just pick the one that appears most, 177 covers a lOT of cards
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> vigge_sWe: yep, now hit ctrl+alt+backspace if it convenient to do so (will log you out and kill all apps)
[13:03] <no_bother> ah Ill just go for 177
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> vigge_sWe: when you log back in: gksudo nvidia-settings
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> its what makes nvidia great :)
[13:05] <no_bother> okay, i have them installed already, but is there any way to change my resolution?
[13:05] <zilleplus> can someone explane to a beginner how to connect a ubuntu server to the inthernet
[13:05] <Samma3l> is computer janitor a real package?
[13:05] <zilleplus> can someone explane to a beginner how to connect a ubuntu server to the internet
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> zilleplus: if you are failing dhcp and you expect it i would look into that
[13:06] <simplexio> zilleplus: yes. but one cable to server and one to wall ;D
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> zilleplus: run: lshw -C network to make sure your network card has a driver
[13:06] <no_bother> YAY
[13:06] <no_bother> done
[13:06] <cooldduuudde> wich is the best browser avlbl for ubuntu other than firefox?
[13:06] <Samma3l> zilleplus: what is the interface you are trying to use?
[13:06] <no_bother> thanks so much guys
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> no_bother: you need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[13:06] <Samma3l> cooldduuudde: opera
[13:06] <co_cari> uyy..
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> no_bother: then hit ctrl+alt+backspace

[13:07] <no_bother> okay
[13:07] <no_bother> I got it
[13:07] <no_bother> I ahd the drivers installed already, I just couldnt find that xconfig
[13:07] <no_bother> thanks so much guys
[13:07] <erUSUL> !best | cooldduuudde
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> easy peasy with nvidia
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> trae: do you mean uninstall completely?
[13:08] <bullgard4> There is an Evolution plugin 'Calendar Publishing'. What are its disadvantages against concurring programs?
[13:08] <trae> ActionParsnip, yes
[13:08] <jesus_> how does on deactivate the 'smart' (stupid) bash completion? That is, the one that must look at file endings.
[13:08] <quibbler> !browsers | cooldduuudde
[13:08] <cooldduuudde> cool...thnx
[13:08] <Samma3l> w3m>forefox
[13:08] <mostafa> how can install jboss
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> trae: sudo apt-get --purge remove samba; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[13:09] <co_cari> uyy..
[13:09] <trae> ActionParsnip, I'm at a point where, i either have to nuke and re-install... because I can't log in to my box except from recovery mode
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> trae: i'd imagine its the same with winbins, if its not a dep of samba
[13:09] <zilleplus> i runed it as sudo and it say's tath i have internet but if i want to shut down my server it say's that there are broken files when i want to reapire them it say's that it hase to update when i update it error
[13:09] <fader> jesus_: Are you talking about tab-completion?
[13:09] <mostafa> how can install jboss
[13:09] <obi> Im trying to build a compressed file, can anyone walk me through it, im newish to linux.
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> !info jboss
[13:10] <trae> ActionParsnip, thanks bud, hope this works ;)
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> !find boss
[13:10] <jrib> obi: right click, create archive
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> mostafa: try: apt-cache search boss | less
[13:10] <jesus_> fader, yeah.
[13:10] <obi> jrib: thats all. its a wireless driver, will doing that in stall it?
[13:11] <zilleplus> :ActionParsnipe i runed it as sudo and it say's tath i have internet but if i want to shut down my server it say's that there are broken files when i want to reapire them it say's that it hase to update when i update it error
[13:11] <jrib> obi: no, what exactly are you doing?
[13:11] <trae> ActionParsnip, :(  when I go to log in to my machine.  I put in my username, hit enter, and it comes back {without putting in a password at all!}  "Authentication Failed"
[13:12] <jesus_> fader, bu tnot the usual one, which gentoo and other systems usually use. But the "smart" (or what I would call stupid) that ubuntu uses.
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> trae: boot to recovery mode (esc when grub shows) and drop to root console
[13:12] <obi> jrib: Im trying to install a mad wifi driver, i have a tar.gz file and i need to figure out wow to install the driver
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> trae: make sure your username is a member of the admin group
[13:12] <trae> ActionParsnip, yeah I can get in as root there, (that's how I removed the stuff you showed me)
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> trae: you can also pull out samba from there
[13:12] <fader> jesus_: I have no idea what Ubuntu does differently with bash than any other distro.  (It certainly doesn't have anything to do with file extensions...)
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> !adduser | trae
[13:12] <fader> jesus_: Can you tell me what the behavior is that you're seeing that is bothering you and how it's different?
[13:12] <jrib> !madwifi | obi
[13:12] <trae> ActionParsnip, heh... the account already existed
[13:12] <jrib> obi: have you read the madwifi page on there?
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> trae: you can also change your users password from root so you KNOW its correct
[13:13] <trae> I think my system is trying to do active directory crap
[13:13] <heath|work> ?
[13:13] <trae> ActionParsnip, it's not even asking me for a password
[13:13] <jrib> obi: "The built-in drivers/modules (ath5k) are in linux-backports-modules-intrepid package"
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> trae: then use the root console to set one: passwd <your user name>
[13:14] <dhalsimm> hi, I can't install iceweasel (can't find package) , I'm using 8.10
[13:14] <trae> ActionParsnip, heh  I'm not sure you follow.l...  there are users present...   as root I can do:  su - $myuser
[13:14] <jesus_> fader, yes it does. When I write "$ evince " press tab I do not get any completion options unless there is a file named .pdf or .dvi or any other filename that it recognize. But I use arxiv,org in my work and their naming of pdfs are not .pdf but just YYMM.XXXX and I cant tabcomplete them!
[13:14] <trae> ActionParsnip, but...  I when I go to log in... I can't  it asks for username but not a password
[13:14] <obi> jrib, basically from what i can gather i need to navigate to the file and the run build essential. and i dont knwo how to navigat there or run build essential. this is the driver i need, its complicated but this driver is definatly the way i want to go
[13:14] <quibbler> !iceweasel
[13:14] <jrib> obi: have you read what I've just told you?
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> trae: while you are root, type the command: passwd <your user name here>
[13:15] <fader> jesus_: Huh, you're right. :/  I stand corrected.
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> trae: you will then SET the password so you know its set and you are sure what it is
[13:15] <jesus_> fader, and you dont know how to fix this windows-like feature? (win-like as in, it is a bad feature)
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> trae: you can also make sure you are in the admin group so you can use sudo and stuff
[13:15] <trae> ActionParsnip, thanks for trying mate.  Not sure you are hearing me.  It's never getting to the password stage.  It should at least prompt me for a password.  it doesn't
[13:16] <fader> jesus_: Calm down, it takes me a few minutes to google things just like anyone else
[13:16] <xXChippoXx> hello how do i check my ubuntu version ?
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> trae: the root login doesnt have a password
[13:16] <fader> jesus_: You can fine-tune it in /etc/bash_completion
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> trae: as you are interfacing directly with the systems local keyboard
[13:16] <trae> ActionParsnip, thanks bud for trying to help.
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> xXChippoXx: lsb_release -a
[13:17] <xXChippoXx> thanks
[13:17] <obi> jrib: i need to know how to navigate to a file
[13:17] <jesus_> fader, oh, I thought you just knew. Most people on IRC either knows or says "you google it". I'll take a look at that file. thnx.
[13:17] <fader> jesus_: or turn it off entirely by commenting out the lines with "bash_completion" in /etc/bash.bashrc
[13:17] <Incarus> trae, whats the problem?
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> trae: if you drop to recovery mode root console (instead of booting to ubuntu properly) you can be root and have guarunteed full access
, cd
[13:17] <xXChippoXx> i have probs with wine , it it whows gui but no content
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> trae: you can then set passwords and user group access
[13:17] <jesus_> fader, but doen't that disable bash_completion entirely?
[13:17] <xXChippoXx> only sometiems in some tabs if i switch tabs multiple times
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | xXChippoXx
[13:17] <Chikkis> hi everyone
, try to reinstall wine
[13:18] <xXChippoXx> i did
[13:18] <jesus_> fader, I still want the usual completion, just not the ubuntu-one.
[13:18] <xXChippoXx> also rm -rf .wine
[13:18] <xXChippoXx> on the config
[13:18] <jrib> obi: ok, you seem to just be ignoring what I say for some reason.  The documentation I linked you to says that you can use the ath5k driver in linux-backports-modules-intrepid package.
, purge first
[13:18] <xXChippoXx> didnt make any difference
[13:18] <heath|work> xXChippoXx, look at winetricks
[13:18] <xXChippoXx> hmm ok let me test purge then
[13:18] <bullgard4> There is an Evolution plugin 'Calendar Publishing'. What are its disadvantages against concurring programs?
, every prog, or just 'special'?
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> xXChippoXx: have you got the wine version from the official wine repo?
[13:18] <fader> jesus_: If you disable the bash_completion stuff entirely, it should still tab-complete, but based only on what you've started typing.  e.g. "cd D[tab]" should complete anything that starts with "D" whether it's a directory or not
[13:19] <fader> jesus_: so my leaning would be to edit /etc/bash_completion to get rid of the PDF settings rather than turning it off entirely, but it's obviously up to you
[13:19] <xXChippoXx> winecfg , and when i try to install my photoshot cs3 it shows same stragnge lack of tesxts and images
[13:19] <snek> xXChippoXx: have you installed wine-doors?
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> xXChippoXx: do you have the wine off the wine repos or the one from the repos you get when you first install ubuntu
[13:20] <jesus_> fader, ok. thanks for clearing things up for me.
[13:20] <xXChippoXx> no wine-door what i know of
[13:20] <fader> jesus_: no problem :)
, install latest unstable wine
[13:20] <xXChippoXx> the repos fgrom the first install i guess
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> xXChippoXx: i'll get you a link
[13:20] <heath|work> xXChippoXx, what are you needing wine for?
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> xXChippoXx: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
[13:21] <xXChippoXx> can i add some special repos for wine ?
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> xXChippoXx: yes, winehq have their own repo
[13:21] <xXChippoXx> heath|work, running photoshop
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> xXChippoXx: its a later version than the ubuntu official ones
[13:21] <xXChippoXx> ok thanks
[13:21] <xXChippoXx> ill try
[13:22] <Wazle> some1 here who really knows about ubuntu and has some minutes time for me?
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> !ask | Wazle
[13:22] <heath|work> xXChippoXx, have you tried GIMP?
[13:22] <Wazle> ok :D
[13:23] <xXChippoXx> i have tried inkscape and gimp
[13:23] <Incarus> Wazle, ask your question
[13:23] <xXChippoXx> but i dont ahve the time to relearn stuff
[13:23] <heath|work> I know what you mean
[13:23] <xXChippoXx> i jsut want photoshop which i already know how to work with right off
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> xXChippoXx: which version do you use?
[13:24] <snek> i wish there was a GimpShop for Linux
[13:24] <Kivary> wikipedia-zh
[13:24] <obi> jrib: you seem not to be listening to me, i need another driver, the one i described. i know all that already, and i dont want to go into all the reasons i need the other driver. if i need to know what driver i needed i would have asked that question.
[13:24] <Seveas> xXChippoXx, then you should install windows and photoshop. It doesn't run on linux.
[13:24] <Seveas> snek, there is :)
[13:24] <xXChippoXx> photoshop runs on wine
[13:24] <Seveas> the name is even gimpshop, tries to mimic the photoshop ui but misses functionality
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> xXChippoXx: whch version of PS??
[13:24] <Wazle> i do have a netbook with a screen of 1024*576 pixels, i want to play some games with wine, but there are problems with this solutions in some games, i want to have script, which changes solution if i execute it, and another script, which changes back to native settings.
[13:24] <xXChippoXx> thats what i made sure before installing ubuntu
[13:24] <Incarus> obi, whats the prob?
[13:24] <Kivary> how I can join #en-wikipedia?
[13:24] <DaDa|Urka> Does someone know if xfce 1.6 will make it in xubuntu 9.04?
[13:24] <snek> seveas: hmm i could never find it.. that makes me feel like a nub now haha
[13:24] <jrib> obi: well good luck with your issue.  The link I gave you covers compiling the driver as well
