[20:44] <kalkan> carandraug, http://paste.ubuntu.com/40999/plain/
[20:44] <remoteCTRL> gaintsura: have you made those "absolutely needed " comments or is that a conf that you copy pasted somewhere?

[20:45] <guntbert> RodMcKay: there are tools on the commandline as well, look into apt-cache

[20:45] <RodMcKay> guntbert: ok, that might help, thx so long
[20:45] <remoteCTRL> gaintsura: i see... was fglrx working before fiddeling with compiz?
[20:45] <bofh80> GrnFraggle, you could always cross your fingers, upgrade a test machine to the latest version. ie update-mange -d . to Intrepid ie, 8.10
[20:45] <nnull> i just isntalled cairo-dock, and where it should be transparent its black, any help? :s :x
[20:46] <satpro4200> i got everything else in this laptop going under ubuntu, all i need now is to get the wifi going and im set[all i have ever used has been ralink chips]
[20:46] <nnull> under gnome btw
[20:46] <guntbert> RodMcKay: np
[20:46] <carandraug> kalkan: the "f" in the ls command has to be in caps. Could you "ls -lF /dev/disk/by-uuid/"

[20:46] <kat> Hey everyone again... would a TV tuner card work with Linux? just wondering.. considering buying oe
[20:46] <satpro4200> anyone here know about linksys pcmcia wifi cards?
[20:46] <amal029> pan: remove sudo , my mistake
[20:46] <Dream-S> ive done with hardware aspect but unsure about the firmware
[20:46] <satpro4200> kat: yes
[20:46] <pan> k
[20:46] <GrnFraggle> bofh80 beta version?
[20:46] <satpro4200> kat: nost should
[20:46] <kat> satpro4200, good :D
[20:46] <gaintsura> remoteCTRL: I reinstalled ubuntu about 5 months ago. configured the drivers and they worked fine.. between then and now, upgrades were performed, and it stopped working. I reset the xorg.conf to original installation, and started over, which is where I'm at now
[20:47] <kat> satpro4200,  would rather have that then spend on a tv
[20:47] <kat> satpro4200, whats your problem with the card?
[20:47] <GrnFraggle> brb smokin
[20:47] <bofh80> GrnFraggle, er actually it's alpha, but if it does work, you cann tell your boss it will be readu for the next version
[20:47] <satpro4200> kat: the wifi card? the system detects it but cant see any networks. and i know theres at least three networks in this building[i have one]
[20:48] <pan> says server is already active on display 0?
[20:48] <remoteCTRL> gaintsura: i found some errors in there: http://pastebin.com/m3baa9968
[20:48] <kat> satpro4200,  hehe i had some bad wireless problems the other day
[20:48] <kat> ill try to remember what i did
[20:49] <satpro4200> kat: i think everyone has these problems[unless you have a ralink card] even look at the xkcd comic
[20:49] <kalkan> carandraug, http://paste.ubuntu.com/41001/plain/
[20:49] <amal029> pan do this Ctrl-Alt-F1-->login--> and type exactly "xinit -- :1", :1 the one at the end is saying to start X on server 1 not 0
[20:49] <jpotex> I believe most of you ppl use torrent, so a quick question. Did you need to do something before you could get it to work? All my downloads get stalled, and I have no firewall/router and the software is up to date.
[20:50] <nnull> if i get 64 hertz in gnome can i expect that in compiz?
[20:50] <carandraug> kalkan: ok. Just give a few minutes now
[20:50] <gaintsura> remoteCTRL: those comments I placed specifically in the pastebin to show what was what, the only comments that are actually there are the ones after the Option ones in the device config
[20:50] <kalkan> carandraug, ok, thanks
[20:51] <remoteCTRL> gaintsura: my bad, one more moment please
[20:51] <gaintsura> np
[20:52] <pan> cool
[20:52] <pan> thx amal
[20:52] <amal029> Cheers
[20:52] <pan> all i get is a console
[20:53] <amal029> like what xterm?
[20:53] <pan> yeah
[20:53] <yusuf1> salizd
[20:53] <pan> something like that
[20:53] <pan> a console screen
[20:53] <pan> but its white
[20:53] <pan> so i guess ubuntu's console
[20:54] <richard_> hi
[20:54] <pkaps> Hi everybody
[20:54] <yusuf1> hi pkaps
[20:55] <guntbert> !ask
[20:55] <amal029> that's because xinit uses the Xinitrc file, I don't use a gdm or kdm or anything you can put whatever you want in your ~/.xinitrc file and that will startup when you start X with xinit, if you are looking gdm/kdm support ask someone else.
[20:55] <richard_> i install cnr on ubuntu 8.04 and it does not start
[20:55] <pan> k
[20:56] <GrnFraggle> well i may have been being a dork.   Pilot-link was not installed on this computer
[20:57] <carandraug> kalkan: it's the UUID of sda2 and sda4 that changed. You know how to change it in the fstab? I can pastebin you the corrected version?
[20:57] <pkaps> I'm having problem installing ubuntu on a hp g7060ev - particularly making the Atheros ar242x (or ar5700 - is it the same?) wireless controller work. I've tried the madwifi drivers as well as the ndiswrapper workaround but didn't get anything yet. Anyone having successfully installed ubuntu on such a system?
[20:57] <gaintsura> pkaps: get madwifi, make, make install
[20:58] <carandraug> kalkan: no. It's a bit more than that. One more minute
[20:58] <richard_> cnr is not in the synaptic manager, is it normal
[20:58] <kalkan> carandraug, ok
[20:58] <timposey> trying to get maxtor onetouch to work with ubuntu with firewire port
[20:58] <gaintsura> pkaps: there is a good guide/walkthrough on the ubuntu forums.. search UBUNTU madwifi ar5700
[20:58] <Dabbu> i have to restart "/etc/init.d/networking" everytime i restart my ubuntu...any help to avoid this
[20:59] <remoteCTRL> gaintsura: i wonder what all of those numerous variables are for with the option keys...
[20:59] <gaintsura> remoteCTRL: which ones?
[20:59] <pkaps> gaintsura: actually i idid that. I deactivated the preset -non-ubuntu-supported-drivers, installed the latest madwifi and "modprobed" ath_pci but i couldn't get any wireless networks to negotiate.
[20:59] <remoteCTRL> gaintsura: can you once more define what actually is not running?
[20:59] <amal029> Dabbu: A hack would be /etc/rc.local: /etc/init.d/networking restart
[21:00] <tamer> wicd network manager is the best
[21:00] <MrJeff> is this the ubuntu chat?
[21:00] <gaintsura> remoteCTRL: l have some really pixelated/choppy full screen video, and I know it has something to do with ATI Catalyst. Catalyst says 'either no ATI driver installed or it is not configured properly'
[21:00] <remoteCTRL> gaintsura: well there are about 15 in there and from about 10 i have no idea what it does...
[21:01] <pkaps> is there any possibility hp g7060 has a specific/problematic wireless adapter that is not covered by this workaround with madwifi, or is it definitely my fault for not making it work?
[21:01] <carandraug> kalkan: sda4 which was once an ext3 partition is now swap. You also need to change it
[21:01] <spunk> Hello, I have a slightly unrelated question; do you know of any website that post news about FOSS releases. Like freshmeat.net... Sorry if OT.
[21:01] <gaintsura> pkaps: check the madwifi site to make sure your specific atheros card is listed
[21:01] <remoteCTRL> gaintsura: speaking in terms of watching a movie and desktop is fine, or what do you mean?
[21:01] <richard_> cnr is not in the synaptic manager, is it normal
[21:02] <gaintsura> remoteCTRL: I have to get going, are you going to be around later?
[21:02] <kalkan> carandraug,  how to do?
[21:02] <jesus_christoffe> hi
[21:02] <remoteCTRL> gaintsura: it's late over here, maybe tomorrow...
[21:02] <gaintsura> remoteCTRL: full screen video is pixelated and choppy, everything else desktop related works fine
[21:02] <gaintsura> alright, thanks anyway.
[21:02] <remoteCTRL> gaintsura: your welcome, and i doubt that that is really a catalyst problem...
[21:03] <olskolirc> oh skippy I forgot my question
[21:03] <kalkan> carandraug,  sorry, i dont know how to do
[21:03] <ubunubi> how can i easily see what driver ubuntu is loading for my sound card?
[21:03] <carandraug> kalkan: edit your fstab. Type "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" and switch it by this http://paste.ubuntu.com/41003/  I think it's correct now
[21:03] <Dabbu> i have to restart "/etc/init.d/networking" everytime when i start ubuntu any help to avoid this
[21:04] <MrJeff> I have a problem with my secondary hard drive, everytime i restart it demounts the hard drive
[21:04] <carandraug> kalkan: What I did was to correct the UUID from sda2 and sda4, erase the entry from the old swap partition and in the sda4 line switch "ext3" to "swap" and "defaults" to "sw". I think it's correct that way
[21:05] <yassine> hi everyone,
[21:05] <ubunubi> Dabbu:: i'd try having your network init script load later in the boot process
[21:05] <yassine> does someone here happen to know which package contains the command zopectl ?
[21:05] <Dabbu>  ubunubi:plz be more clear..i didn't got u
[21:06] <pkaps> anyone having successfully setup ubuntu on a laptop with the ar242x  wireless conroller?
[21:06] <jrib> yassine: search package contents on packages.ubuntu.com
[21:06] <yassine> jrib: many thanks
[21:06] <ubunubi> dabbu: rename your S##networking script in /etc/rcS.d to a higher number (if it's S40networking currently maybe rename is S90networking, etc)
[21:06] <cpkp> I recently switched to Ubuntu from RH and I'm having odd line-wrap issues.  If I paste an especially long command in the cursor doesn't continue onto the next line sometimes, it will wrap on the same line.  The paste should have no \r or \n in it at all.  Any idea what might be up?
[21:06] <carandraug> kalkan: I have to go now. I'll be back in one hour or so. I believe it should automount that way. Can you edit the files? Don't forget to save in the end
[21:07] <jrib> yassine: I didn't find any with my local apt-file by the way
[21:07] <F1l1p3> #ubuntu-br
[21:07] <kalkan> carandraug, ok, i have done, how to know it works?
[21:07] <jrib> yassine: bunch of zopectl.py deep in some directories from zope* though
[21:07] <kalkan> carandraug,
[21:07] <carandraug> kalkan: you'll have to restart to find out
[21:07] <will02> would there be any particular reason that my optical drives wouldnt be recognized? i have one plugged in via an ide to sata bridge and the bios recognizes it just fine, but its not found in hardy
[21:07] <will02> any ideas?
[21:07] <kalkan> carandraug,   ok, thank you very much
[21:08] <basicshwa> I need to do two things, 1. I need to learn how to add programs via apt-get and 2. I need to learn how to make fluxbox start on bootup (I downloaded the server edition and installed fluxbox, if I want to start it, I have to bootup my computer and press startx)
[21:08] <carandraug> kalkan: if it doesn't work, I'll be away. You'll have to ask someone else then
[21:08] <carandraug> kalkan: no problem. Hope it works fine
[21:08] <kalkan> carandraug,  thank you very nuch, see you later
[21:08] <srgian> I'm curious, if I setup dual-boot XP/Ubuntu with grub on two partitions, are there issues with later re-installing XP?  That is, is it likely to effect my Ubuntu install?

[21:09] <guntbert> basicshwa: 1) try apt-get install <package>
[21:09] <basicshwa> do I have to have the crazy ending for the package? like 1.2.001 etc. etc?

[21:10] <scythefwd> My problem is, it'll format, but it wont write.
[21:11] <Guest66489> hmm

[21:13] <princesa> terrestre: hi
[21:13] <guntbert> basicshwa: I forgot "sudo apt-get ..."
[21:14] <amal029> basichwa: This should start fluxbox, but not the most elegant solution: whereis fluxbox | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -t -p sudo echo > /etc/rc.local
[21:15] <amal029> basichwa: This should start fluxbox, but not the most elegant solution: whereis fluxbox | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -t -p sudo echo >> /etc/rc.local

[21:16] <rohit> what should i do for applying extra visual effects
[21:16] <basicshwa> I can start fuxbox easily enough by typing startx via command line. I was wonder after I install a program via apt-get. How do I add that program to my fluxbox menu, also, how do i get fluxbox to start as soon as i power up my computer

[21:19] <hendrixski> MolePrince: have you made any headway on it?
[21:19] <rohit> but since i have installed updates and extra softwares
[21:19] <rohit> i cant apply that effects
[21:19] <basicshwa> hmm, am I in the wrong room to ask these questions?
[21:19] <hendrixski> MolePrince: like, if maybe it's a Samba thing, or some other thing I should know about?
[21:20] <MolePrince> hendrixski: Afraid not.  If I push my DNS server to the clients, I can resolve them at least, but no SAMBA love.

[21:27] <greywhind> hi. I have a Realtek RTL8111/8168B ethernet card, and i've got Ubuntu on a live CD (haven't installed it yet). I found this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=723569, and I tried it, but the live CD has only the linux kernel headers, not the full kernel source, so i get errors. anyone willing to help me with this?

[21:27] <arquebus> princesa- chroot is easy, I just cant remember all the flags offhand, let me check for a link for you

[21:27] <danbhfive> cafree: I did that once, and it worked fine
[21:27] <marekt> do you need a transation to english?
[21:27] <hendrixski> marekt: jest polski chat dla Ubuntu
[21:27] <divinebovine> does anyone have an overall impression of the status of where the xorg stuff is in hard?  i've been plugging hardy in to many machines and almost all of them fail to recognize monitors and video chipsets
[21:27] <onthefence929> how do i install software from source in ubuntu?
[21:28] <hendrixski> !pl
[21:28] <marekt> hendrixski i know, but here i can find more prof users :)
[21:28] <divinebovine> and in pretty well every single case 3d acceleration is unavailable, except for a few select nvidia equiped machines
[21:28] <Seveas> marekt, could you please run it like this so the output is in english: LANG=C LC_ALL=C LANGUAGE=C apt-get -f install
[21:28] <divinebovine> is xorg detection or direct rendering not working in hardy? is that the consensus?
[21:28] <cafree> danbhfive: nothing notable when you did it?
[21:29] <princesa> arquebus: thanx all i want is for this account to run idesk as root at startup so it can get the icon from /usr/share
[21:29] <hendrixski> marekt: Ok... apt-get -f install normalnie działa dla mnie kiedy mam problem z dpkg
[21:29] <scythefwd_> ok, here is a more complete description.  It is a 120Gb HD.  I can't install to it from some reason.  It is detected as scsi instead of ata/ide.  The mobo is a pcchips, but everything else is standard hw.  My install gets stuck at 5%, reguardless of how long i let it run.
[21:29] <danbhfive> divinebovine: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[21:29] <divinebovine> i can't find anything topical via google beyond bug report and forum posts that half understand th eissue
[21:29] <ircsisap> Hello guys
[21:29] <divinebovine> danbhfive nope
[21:29] <danbhfive> cafree: the only thing I had to do was reconfigure xorg
[21:29] <divinebovine> that doesn't apply to hardy any more
[21:30] <danbhfive> divinebovine: damn it!!  I want to know too!!
[21:30] <divinebovine> dpkg-reconfigure is completely ripped of its usefull features ... it doesn't check for video drivers for example
[21:30] <Tulio123> Hi, I read this on a forum topic : "Try setting the variable XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 and start X from that environment." how do I do that ? or how do I configure that to be used when X starts on boot ?
[21:30] <scythefwd_> Is there a direct upgrade path from 6.06 to 8.04.1 without a broadband connection
[21:30] <divinebovine> and i don't see indication that it will be brought back at all, but even if it was the direct rendering issue still seems to be a separate thing

[21:30] <Seveas> scythefwd_, you could use the alternate cd, but you'll still need a broadband connection for additional packages
[21:31] <hendrixski> scythefwd_: I think you can get a DVD with all the required stuff from OnDisk.com
[21:31] <greywhind> hi. I have a Realtek RTL8111/8168B ethernet card, and i've got Ubuntu on a live CD (haven't installed it yet). I found this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=723569, and I tried it, but the live CD has only the linux kernel headers, not the full kernel source, so i get errors. anyone willing to help me with this?
[21:31] <marekt> is it a problem with dependecies?
[21:31] <will02> my hard drive says its almost full, but when i run the disk usage analyzer it says iv only used 11.5 gigs of 80. any ideas?
[21:31] <hendrixski> scythefwd_: then you don't need a connection, you just get a snapshot of the repositories and all that
[21:31] <scythefwd_> sevas, I have the cd from ubuntu.   Please stick to official sources only unless you know what you're doing.
[21:32] <basicshwa> ok, now all i need to know is how do I add that program to my fluxbox menu, also, how do i get fluxbox to start as soon as i power up my computer
[21:32] <scythefwd_> hendrixski, and how large would that be?  and where would I get one :)
[21:32] <marekt> seveas i know, i just wanted to try new libraries
[21:32] <Seveas> marekt, well, don't, that causes these problems :)
[21:32] <divinebovine> btw, hello seveas
[21:32] <arquebus> princesa- I cant find anything useful on the net, but if its only for an icon, have you tried right clicking on the "applications" menu icon? you can access new icons that way
[21:33] <kalkan> can anybody help with fstab?
[21:33] <hendrixski> scythefwd_: I know ondisk.com used to do those, for like $10 or so... I got a free copy a few months ago and it was exactly what a friend needed who lives out in the boonies without fast internet
[21:33] <tsuna27> i got an eeepc and was wondering wats the best distro
[21:33] <marekt> ok so should i remove theese lines from sources.list
[21:33] <divinebovine> kalkan just ask
[21:33] <marekt> then apt-upgrade and it will wor?
[21:33] <greywhind> does anyone know of a way to install the entire kernel source without access to the internet?
[21:33] <Seveas> marekt, yes, and then run apt-get clean :)
[21:33] <divinebovine> tsuna27 google the eeepc ubuntu project
[21:33] <will02> marekt, yes, only one
[21:33] <arquebus> tsuna27- you should check at #eeepc
[21:33] <divinebovine> they did all the work for you
[21:33] <basicshwa> sabayon has a preinstall for the eee pod, if your looking for something easy
[21:33] <marekt> will02 can you paste the result of df
[21:33] <greywhind> or what this error could be solved by: Missing File: arch/x86/boot/bzImage
[21:33] <will02> marekt, actually it does have two, but ones swao
[21:34] <will02> *swap
[21:34] <basicshwa> i mean sabayon pod has a preinstall for the eee
[21:34] <d4r1os54_> hi all
[21:34] <princesa> arquebus: you mean changing icon permission? that would take long... thats why i was hoping for that method, instead i would make the folder accessible "instead of picking icons one-by-one", oh well if thats the case i will do it next time cause tonight this is as much as i can take unless you can think of soemthing
[21:34] <divinebovine> ndrixski/#ubuntu sighs
[21:34] <scythefwd_> oh, from th live os on the disk from ubuntu, I can't mount as I am not root and it doesn't detect the ide drives (well, it does, but it wont read them)
[21:34] <kalkan> divinebovine, thanks, i have some problem, i have changed partitions and ubuntu cant see them correctly, i got some help, but carandraug must leave. it doesnt work
[21:34] <will02> mareket: http://pastebin.com/m40535318
[21:35] <arquebus> princesa- ok, Im really not expert in that
[21:35] <lohvik> where i can get good cpu speed controller what is safe to use to lower frequency for power saving, it gives longer battery when browsing on web and doing simple activities
[21:35] <Splex_> i keep getting this when doing an apt-get update: W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package perl W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[21:35] <Splex_> how do i fix this?
[21:36] <kalkan> divinebovine, http://paste.ubuntu.com/41003/plain/
[21:36] <divinebovine> Splex_ quick guess ... try a different repo, say the uk one instead of the us one maybe?
[21:36] <Kartagis> hoşçakalın / bye
[21:37] <divinebovine> kalkan okay so he had you lookup your uuid, yes?
[21:37] <divinebovine> and those are correct?
[21:37] <marekt> will02, where do you get this notification?
[21:37] <hdz> what does this bono server do
[21:37] <gevenp> Hi Guys
[21:37] <kalkan> divinebovine, yes, but still doesnt work
[21:37] <princesa> arquebus: no problem when im in the mood ill go around changing icon permission as by hell im not copying and pasting each item onto a new folder and changing the directories on the idesk files
[21:37] <will02> marekt, when i was downloading something off firefox, and it said my hard drive was full
[21:38] <Splex_> divinebovine: i am partially upgraded to intrepid, maybe that has something to do with it
[21:38] <marekt> will02, was this file bigger then free space?
[21:38] <will02> marekt, it was roughly 4 mb
[21:38] <Splex_> divinebovine: some packages i have updated to intrepid
[21:38] <will02> marekt, i had to make space for it
[21:38] <divinebovine> Splex_ oh in that case its 100% guaranteed
[21:38] <hdz> ubuntu automatically deleted the file when a torrent was taking up all my memory while downloading
[21:38] <danbhfive> Splex_: all intrepid talk should go to #ubuntu+1
[21:38] <greywhind> hi. I have a Realtek RTL8111/8168B ethernet card, and i've got Ubuntu on a live CD (haven't installed it yet). I found this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=723569, and I tried it, but the live CD has only the linux kernel headers, not the full kernel source, so i get errors. anyone willing to help me with this?
[21:38] <Splex_> but im still hardy :P
[21:39] <divinebovine> danbhfive so you have run into the same xorg problems then? no obvious solution either?
[21:39] <marekt> will02, now im confused too :)
[21:39] <hdz> Linux turtle 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 22:56:21 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[21:39] <danbhfive> Splex_: if you put intrepid anything in your sources, then no you are not
[21:40] <mohshami> hey guys, if I create an SSH tunnel using the -D option, is it possible to have a remote host use that same tunnel?
[21:40] <will02> marekt, i know, part of the system reports one thing, the other something else
[21:40] <gevenp> q
[21:40] <gevenp> q
[21:40] <danbhfive> divinebovine: actually, I haven't had any problems, but I used to.  I just want to know how it works, because people ask allot
[21:40] <kalkan> divinebovine,   there is no sda8 sda7 and sda9 but it is shown in the fstab, ubuntu sees sda7, it looks like confusion
[21:40] <tripps> how do I search evolution contacts for a substring of a phone number?
[21:40] <happy_boi> hello i am new in ubuntu chat
[21:40] <happy_boi> hehehehe
[21:41] <divinebovine> kalkan just comment them out and reboot.  its no big deal
[21:41] <marekt> will02, i dont know the source of this error, but i would do this: copy link location and download it with wget :)
[21:41] <Splex_> how can i see more verbose output of what is happening in an apt-get update
[21:41] <guntbert> will02: do you want to find, where you use up all your disk-space? Your / system is clearly quite full.
[21:41] <divinebovine> kalkan does everything work?
[21:41] <Splex_> i want to see what is going on when it spits out those warnings after it is 'reading package lists'
[21:41] <divinebovine> danbhfive ah. k.
[21:41] <will02> guntbert, yes and how i can keep whatever keeps expanding from doing so
[21:41] <carandraug> kalkan: I'm back. DId it work? There's one thing that occurred to me during dinner that I forgot. In the sda4 mount point (which now is swap) you have to switch the mount point to none
[21:42] <divinebovine> danbhfive so far no insight on what is going to be done about this ... we are having fairly sizeable problems
[21:42] <hdz> mohshami: ettercap
[21:42] <danbhfive> divinebovine: what are your problems again?
[21:42] <guntbert> will02: first you have to know what it is, I can tell you how to find it
[21:42] <spsneo> can anyone help me compiling a loudmouth program in C
[21:42] <kalkan> divinebovine, how do you mean?
[21:42] <danbhfive> divinebovine: video is just not working?
[21:42] <spsneo> can anyone help me compiling a loudmouth program in C in ubuntu
[21:42] <divinebovine> no accelerated rendering, dpkg-reconfigure that is broken
[21:42] <mohshami> hdz: checking, thanks
[21:42] <will02> guntbert, that would be fantastic
[21:42] <greywhind> hi. I have a Realtek RTL8111/8168B ethernet card, and i've got Ubuntu on a live CD (haven't installed it yet). I found this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=723569, and I tried it, but the live CD has only the linux kernel headers, not the full kernel source, so i get errors. anyone willing to help me with this?
[21:43] <hdz> go to add/remove type in etter it's there
[21:43] <kalkan> carandraug, ok. thanks, but something i dont understand: there is no sda7, sda8 , sda9
[21:43] <danbhfive> divinebovine: have you tried the restricted-manager?
[21:43] <rebel_kid> can a standard ubuntu desktop install be modified to be a basic web server (im just trying to set up a test server for cgi python scripts)
[21:43] <divinebovine> to be more specific, xorg isn't detecting either the vid chips or the monitors properly (like ever), direct rendcering seems to be broken and yes, dpkg-reconfigure is broken too
[21:43] <divinebovine> yeah tried all of that
[21:44] <guntbert> will02:  sudo du -s /*|sort -nr|head, and be patient, that will take some time
[21:44] <danbhfive> divinebovine: are these upgrades, or clean installs?
[21:44] <marekt> i have problem, i tried to update-manager -d, to upgrade to interpid, but i got an error dialog with ", W:Nie udało się pobrać http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-backports/Release  Unable to find expected entry  web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)"
[21:44] <divinebovine> we don't have anything that needs restricted modules tho
[21:44] <divinebovine> this is all onboard open source stuff
[21:44] <kalkan> carandraug,  it doesnt work yet
[21:44] <divinebovine> mostly intel chipsets, should work out of the box
[21:44] <greywhind> or maybe someone could help me get my Intel 5300 Wireless card working instead? i need some sort of internet connection
[21:44] <divinebovine> not complainin, just sharing
[21:44] <carandraug> kalkan: that is correct. It also doesn't appear in your "sudo fdisk -l". I thought it was another harddrive that was not connected. I left them there so it would work when you would
[21:44] <guntbert> will02: do you know what that does?
[21:44] <divinebovine> clean installs
[21:45] <will02> guntbert, not entirely
[21:45] <someoneelse235> 7quit
[21:45] <divinebovine> rebel_kid there is no difference between server and desktop
[21:45] <danbhfive> marekt: intrepid is alpha, dont use it, but if you do, ask in #ubuntu+1
[21:45] <lohvik> carandraug: where i can get good cpu speed controller what is safe to use to lower frequency for power saving, it gives longer battery when browsing on web and doing simple activities
[21:45] <rwaite> maybe im a fing idiot but where is the 'shutdown' option? i have an option to lock screen, logout, hibernate, etc, but no shutdown or reboot?
[21:45] <divinebovine> rebel_kid the only difference is marketing ... that is to say the name the a different set of packages preinstalled
[21:45] <divinebovine> rebel_kid you can make your machine one or the other or anywhere inbetween or beyond
[21:45] <lwizardl> how do i stop the media from auto starting when i insert a disc
[21:46] <kalkan> carandraug, how to set mount point to none? can i delete sda7, 8 and 9?
[21:46] <j_> anyone know open office
[21:46] <basicshwa> ok, I just installed mplayer via apt get, now how do I get that into my fluxbox?
[21:46] <j_> i need some help
[21:46] <rebel_kid> divinebovine: then how do i set up my desktop to be a web server? i tried localhost:filename and got nothing
[21:46] <Alan_M> j_, just ask your question
[21:46] <will02> guntbert, would you like for me to post the output?
[21:46] <rwaite> hello, anybody. shutdown from ubuntu, how do you do it.
[21:46] <guntbert> will02: I break it up, du -s /* gives the diskspace used by each directory in the / filesystem, sort -nr sorts the output by the first column numerically, biggest first, head gives just the first ten lines
[21:46] <carandraug> kalkan: try this fstab http://paste.ubuntu.com/41018/ it should be okay now
[21:47] <j_> i cant figure out how to get base to automatically generate a timestamp
[21:47] <rebel_kid> rwaite: upper right hand corner next to time is the shutdown button or system -> shutdown
[21:47] <guntbert> will02: ok, pastebin it plesae
[21:47] <divinebovine> rebel_kid well you install apache most likely and then configure it properly.  its the configuration that will get you.  look for ubuntu specific apache config info online, its the same for all distros just the paths change so if you look for ubuntu specific info it will save you a few minutes.
[21:47] <carandraug> lohvik: no idea. I don't usually bother with that
[21:47] <divinebovine> rwaite sudo poweroff
[21:47] <rwaite> um. no?
[21:47] <danbhfive> divinebovine: I got one msg saying that xorg just autodetects at startup now.  Thus, xorg.conf can be blank now, but you can add directives as needed.   SO, it would make sense that reconfiguring doesn't work, since its an onboot detection for the most part now
[21:47] <kalkan> carandraug, ok thanks, so let me reboot now?
[21:48] <rwaite> theres a green guy. but he gives me no shutdown option. system also displays no shutdown command.
[21:48] <lohvik> where i can get good cpu speed controller what is safe to use to lower frequency for power saving, it gives longer battery when browsing on web and doing simple activities like text editing
[21:48] <carandraug> kalkan: ok. See you in a minute
[21:48] <divinebovine> danbhfive i was thinking it was a great idea too until the took out and decapitated dpkg-reconfigure
[21:48] <will02> guntbert: http://pastebin.com/m3bf2ecd7
[21:48] <divinebovine> so now you must manually config that file which is a huge pain
[21:48] <divinebovine> and that stupid gtk gui app is a piece of garbage that doesn't actually write to the xorg file half the time
[21:48] <j_>  i cant figure out how to get base to automatically generate a timestamp
[21:49] <Seveas> divinebovine, there's no reason to swear
[21:49] <divinebovine> i mean i get it, opensource is perpetual beta ... but it also looks like there is a broken direct rendering too
[21:49] <divinebovine> just weird thats all
[21:49] <Seveas> divinebovine, though admittedly this thing does make one angry
[21:49] <danbhfive> divinebovine: hehe, sometime ubuntu is 2 steps forward, 2 steps back
[21:49] <gRaCiOsO> someone here dont have a rtl8187b wifi card ?
[21:49] <divinebovine> Seveas understood, to clarify i'm not swearing.  i don't classify that word as swearing.
[21:49] <gRaCiOsO> someone here dont have a rtl8187b wifi card installed on hardy?
[21:50] <Orwell> morning/afternoon/evening all
[21:50] <divinebovine> danbhfive we are deploying ubuntu in corporate environment.  we have had to stop rely in dist-upgrades.  we haveto now deploy full clean images recreated each lts cycle
[21:50] <divinebovine> so indeed
[21:51] <divinebovine> danbhfive thx for bouncing ideas back and forth
[21:52] <guntbert> will02: that strange, the only big directory is /home but you mouinted that on another drive
[21:52] <j_>  i cant figure out how to get base to automatically generate a timestamp
[21:52] <j_> where do i go for help on open office?
[21:54] <j_>  i cant figure out how to get base to automatically generate a timestamp is there anywhere i can go to get help?

[22:07] <lohvik> unop: does this work with 8.04, is that easy to do or there is GUI exist
[22:08] <carandraug> kalkan: I think so. What I'm not sure is if after installing OpenSuse, Grub will look for a menu.lst in OpenSuSe's boot directory
[22:09] <guntbert> carandraug: kalkan: what you put before or after the region "DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST" *should* survive, iirc
[22:10] <carandraug> kalkan: I see you're still using 7.10. Could you give me the output of "ls -l /media/sda2/boot/"
[22:10] <carandraug> guntbert: kalkan installed OpenSuSe but it doesn't appear in menu.lst
[22:11] <wereHamster> what's the apt-get command that does what the GUI update manager does?
[22:11] <wereHamster> eg. update all installed packages to their latest version
[22:12] <tunys> sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:12] <guntbert> carandraug: I believe that you can put your own "static" stanzas into the file and they won't be removed by update grub

[22:12] <basicshwa> ok, So, I installed ubuntu server edition. Then I sudo apt-get install xorg fluxbox fluxconf in command line. I then installed mplayer by apt-get install mplayer in command line. I went to go to systems in fluxbox and.... systems was not there

[22:22] <emorris> is there any way to change webcam settings in Ubuntu?
[22:22] <KrimZon> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3123268381931279971&hl=en <- this happens to me
[22:22] <VipOrX> tims:  yep, just get all the split files back into one dir and use : cat x* > archive.something and it will put it all back together
[22:23] <billybigrigger> i have a quick question here, im vnc'ing into my ubuntu box via tightvnc and using fluxbox as the wm, everytime i close the session it doesn't save my appearance, like i pick a background and set up some launchers on the desktop and when i close the session and start a  new one everything is back to default
[22:23] <billybigrigger> is it fluxbox? or is there a better wm i can use for vnc sessions?
[22:24] <lohvik> iiiiiiiiii: in desktop and documents but in xorg drivers i cannot
[22:24] <WebLOCH> Bill_Michaelson, openbox
[22:24] <emorris> billybigrigger: if you want to control your actual desktop (rather than it creating a new one each time) you can use x0vncserver instead of vncserver
[22:25] <Bill_Michaelson> WebLOCH, excuse me?
[22:25] <iiiiiiiiii> lohvik xorg drivers meaning /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[22:25] <iiiiiiiiii> lohvik you want to edit this but your denied?
[22:26] <lohvik> iiiiiiiiii: yes, i want copy sis driver files there
[22:26] <billybigrigger> emorris, but the sessions are resumbable, i can leave transmission runing, close the session and come back and it will be done downloading, so why cant it save my appearance preferences
[22:26] <kalkan> carandraug,  ok, i will try reboot. one more question, in /media why are still there sda7, sda8, sda9?
[22:26] <lohvik> iiiiiiiiii: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
[22:27] <iiiiiiiiii> did you try the sudo switch... ie sudo cp /folder to /folder
[22:27] <emorris> billybigrigger: do you log in with the same user you log in locally with by any chance?
[22:27] <lohvik> iiiiiiiiii: i want overwrite sis_drv.so file
[22:27] <iiiiiiiiii> sudo should do it
[22:28] <iiiiiiiiii> or better yet type sudo nautilus
[22:28] <carandraug> kalkan: the folders are probably empty right? If so, you can delete them "sudo rmdir /media/sda7" and repeat for sda8 and sda9
[22:28] <lohvik> iiiiiiiiii: i mean GUI way, no skills with sudo thing
[22:28] <billybigrigger> emorris, yes, should i create a new vnc user?
[22:28] <favro> iiiiiiiiii: it should be gksu for graphical apps
[22:28] <Python77> Hi everyone, New to Linux here =)
[22:28] <lohvik> iiiiiiiiii: do i have to do root account
[22:28] <gaspard> greetings, when i am under fluxbon of my account gaspard, is it possible to run an app (i.e. pidgin)  from my account gaspard2 running under gnome ?
[22:28] <kalkan> carandraug, also with sda4 (swap)?
[22:28] <billybigrigger> emorris, well i dont log into the machine locally, its sitting beside me with no mouse/keyboard, i just vnc in all the time
[22:29] <ThersiT> I've been installing everything using Synaptic, is that gonna bite me in the end?
[22:29] <iiiiiiiiii> lohvik open a terminal and type "sudo nautilus" it will open a root GUI
[22:29] <Pici> !gksudo | iiiiiiiiii lohvik
[22:29] <billybigrigger> emorris, i dont sit down at the machine and log in, all logins are remote, vnc, ftp, ssh blah blah
[22:29] <carandraug> kalkan: you can remove that one as well
[22:29] <emorris> billybigrigger: hmm, well i was thinking that however you log in, it will be accessing the same config files in your home folder
[22:29] <WebLOCH> Bill_Michaelson, sorry got the wrong guy
[22:29] <WebLOCH> billybigrigger, you tried openbox?
[22:30] <billybigrigger> WebLOCH, nope i will though
[22:30] <Bill_Michaelson> WebLOCH, OK
[22:30] <billybigrigger> where do i set the default wm for vnc sessions?
[22:30] <Expl0ited> openbox is good.
[22:30] <unop> gaspard, you are gaspard and you want to open an app up under gaspard2 ?
[22:30] <WebLOCH> openbox is 'teh' awesome
[22:30] <bobbob1016> Anyone know how to get Celestia working with Compiz running?
[22:30] <brianjgeraghty> hi there
[22:30] <nnull> hi, ive got emerald installed with compiz, and typing emerald --replace gives me what i want, but how do i make emerald my default manager? koz when i close the konsole window emerald turns off, help pls
[22:31] <brianjgeraghty> I've just done a fresh install
[22:31] <brianjgeraghty> was looking for a pointer in the right direction
[22:31] <guntbert> !enter | brianjgeraghty
[22:32] <nnull> anyone? ;x
[22:32] <free[]> '
[22:33] <favro> nnull: use alt+F2 then type emerald --replace or type exit in konsole
[22:34] <unop> billybigrigger, set the wm up in ~/.vnc/xstartup
[22:34] <amilucky> hi
[22:35] <amilucky> can i ask any question?
[22:35] <duiu> amilucky: are you gonna ask, or just sit there and smile?
[22:35] <mozzy> i think nnull wants it to open as default desktop on boot - am i right
[22:35] <gaspard> unop, yes, i try to su gaspard but with pidgin i have this error (pidgin:7026): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_display_get_name: assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed
[22:35] <carandraug> !ask | amilucky
[22:35] <Expl0ited> mmm beer.
[22:36] <gaspard> unop: and with firefox something like that : Error: cannot open display: :0.0
[22:36] <unop> gaspard, sudo -u gaspard firefox
[22:36] <Dedicated> how can i let compiz and X (and probably other things) run ALWAYS with a lower nice value?
[22:36] <foxhop> My drives don't auto mount at startup.  I'm forced to click on them to mount them
[22:36] <foxhop> ntfs
[22:37] <unop> Dedicated, i believe if you reconfigure x11-common .. you can set a nice value at which X will run
[22:37] <gaspard> unop: same thing
[22:37] <manolis> I have ordered a brand new PC with Nivdia 9800.Ubuntu Fully Support it?
[22:37] <favro> isn't there a renice command?
[22:37] <Expl0ited> unop why would nice values really matter?
[22:38] <gaspard> unop:  maybe i should share xhost rights
[22:38] <Dedicated> unop: yeah but was looking for a more common method to do that (so i can also change other nice values static)
[22:38] <sagredo> Alright. Someone has to know how to help me reach my Apache2 serv from the outside Internet. Why can't I figure it out... Port 80 is forwarded... What configuration do I need to change?
[22:38] <kalkan> carandraug, it dosent work yet, when i chose opensuse from menu, it puts: bad file or directory type
[22:38] <Gendolookin> hey everyone
[22:38] <manolis> I have ordered a brand new PC with Nivdia 9800.Ubuntu Fully Support it?
[22:39] <lohvik> iiiiiiiiii: thanks it worked but i hope i do now right thing and i replace right file, sis_drv.so is that some old sis graphics file i do not know but i downloaded new drivers there http://ncc-1701a.homelinux.net/WikiBerd/?page=LinuxSis67x , hope that they work with esprimo v5535
[22:39] <Dedicated> unop: but yeah was x11-common to set it for X
[22:39] <Gendolookin> real quick question what does this mean? When i do any "sudo" command i get this sudo: unable to resolve host (username)
[22:39] <Gendolookin> ??
[22:39] <Expl0ited> manolis: you having ordered it already implies its too late if it isn't.
[22:39] <unop> Dedicated, well, everything else that X launches then has the same nice value - or can use the same nice value
[22:40] <unop> Expl0ited, because sometimes you want your X apps to have a lower nice value than system services
[22:40] <Gendolookin> i can't run update either
[22:40] <Gendolookin> and i think it has something to do with that message
[22:40] <manolis> ok i heard that it is not supported,do you know if 9800 will be supported in 8.10?
[22:40] <unop> gaspard, you shouldn't need to
[22:40] <KrimZon> Gendolookin: have you been trying to change hostname?
[22:40] <Expl0ited> unop: oh I see...
[22:40] <Gendolookin> i only have this one
[22:41] <Gendolookin> unless i log in as root
[22:41] <Gendolookin> oh you mean just change it alltogether?
[22:41] <Mr_Fixit> i have a problem with hearing flash sound ie: youtube, I fixed the problem before with alsa and some file changes but i re-installed and forgot what to do....
[22:41] <manolis> ok i heard that it is not supported,do you know if 9800 will be supported in 8.10?
[22:41] <Dedicated> unop: i have a lot of not X related stuff running which it seems i cant permanently set a nice value :(
[22:41] <kalkan> carandraug,  i cant start OpenSuse yet
[22:41] <unop> gaspard, you are logged on the machine how exactly? in fluxbox?
[22:42] <guntbert> gaspard: you could do it with ssh -X gaspard2@localhost IF you have ssh-server running
[22:42] <KrimZon> Gendolookin: i mean _were_ you trying to do that - that's the only thing I know that can cause that sort of error (but then I don't know much on the subject)
[22:42] <Gendolookin> no i haven't been
[22:42] <Gendolookin> its just when i do a SUDO
[22:42] <carandraug> kalkan: can you give me your menu.lst now that you added those lines?
[22:42] <Gendolookin> and the SUDO works
[22:42] <Gendolookin> haha
[22:42] <FloodBot1> Gendolookin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:42] <Gendolookin> but it just gives me that message
[22:43] <_TechNeck_> ok.... here's what I want to do.... multiple forwarding databases, per nic
[22:43] <Gendolookin> oh ok, sorry, i didn't mean to be annoying
[22:43] <KrimZon> that is weird
[22:43] <duiu> Gendolookin: Maybe something's screwy in your sudo file
[22:43] <duiu> *sudoers file
[22:43] <Gendolookin> must be
[22:43] <manolis> Do you know if Nividia 9800 will be supported in Ubuntu 8.10?
[22:43] <Gendolookin> i haven't changed anything in it.......but even though it shows me that message, the sudo still works
[22:44] <_TechNeck_> aparently, the system uses a single forwarding database, which is why traffic send to eth0 is being responded to out of eth1
[22:44] <unop> Dedicated, do you want to set a higher value for these apps or a lower one - note higher as in lower priority ?
[22:44] <gaspard> i am locally connected to the same machine, just different sessions under the same computer, one session under gnome (not running) and one under fluxbox (current one), I'd like to launch apps from the other session using the session's parameters (log into my pidgin accounts stored under my gnome session)
[22:44] <kalkan> carandraug, of course http://paste.ubuntu.com/41034/plain/
[22:44] <manolis> Do you know if Nividia 9800 will be supported in Ubuntu 8.10?(Please anwser me!)
[22:45] <unop> !hostname | Gendolookin
[22:45] <alistair> Help: just installed a nvidia pci-e card and its been recognised but resolution is maxed at 640x480 and ideas?
[22:45] <duiu> manolis: Why don't you ask/complain to nVidia for drivers instead of acting like it's all Ubuntu's fault?
[22:45] <favro> !resolution
[22:46] <chetanska> hello?
[22:46] <bobbob1016> manolis, First off, (Please answer me!) isn't usually a way to get a response, I am responding out of boredom.  Secondly, there is no way to know.  Nvidia has to release drivers, it isn't that Ubuntu doesn't want to support the card.
[22:46] <Mr_Fixit> alistair: try another nvidia driver from the repository
[22:46] <genius> Hello! Do you know any package that can make MD5 snapshots of filesystem to check, what files has been changed between boots or smth else
[22:46] <chetanska> can someone help me....I just installed a linux os for the first time.....total noob
[22:46] <basicshwa> I installed ubuntu server edition. then I installed fluxbox via apt-get to my fluxbox menu. then I did sudo apt-get install menu and update-menus. now all i need to know is how do I add that program to my fluxbox menu, also, how do i get fluxbox to start as soon as i power up my computer.
[22:46] <Gendolookin> well my hostname in the /etc/hostname file
[22:47] <Gendolookin> is correct
[22:47] <Gendolookin> taylor-desktop
[22:47] <Gendolookin> thats my username
[22:47] <manolis> Sorry guys,i know it's not ubuntu problem.
[22:47] <Dedicated> unop: just want to adjust everything a bit :) as example, collectd running with default nice/prio
[22:47] <FloodBot1> Gendolookin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:47] <duiu> genius: Your best bet is md5deep, but that'll take forever. It's kind of impractical.
[22:47] <alistair> Thank you that probably answers my question re resolution.
[22:47] <billybigrigger> im having problems with vnc resolution, right now its at 800x600 and i would like it to be 1280x1024, where do i set this?
[22:47] <Gendolookin> darnit, i'm sorry about that guys, i'm so used to IM chat...i like to use the enter as punctuation
[22:47] <unop> Gendolookin, make sure you have an entry in /etc/hosts for your hostname like the factoid says
[22:47] <xintron> I've mounted my iPod using "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ipod". Now I can't write to my iPod and I can't change permission either "sudo chown <user> /media/ipod". How should I do to get write access to my iPod?
[22:48] <duiu> Billbigrigger: Either in the display properties or xorg.conf
[22:48] <sagredo> Alright. Someone has to know how to help me reach my Apache2 serv from the outside Internet. Why can't I figure it out... Port 80 is forwarded... What configuration do I need to change?
[22:48] <Mr_Fixit> alistair:  also check to see if the current driver is supporting your card via system>admin>hardware drivers
[22:48] <Gendolookin> ok
[22:48] <duiu> xintron: What kind of iPod?
[22:48] <bobbob1016> billybigrigger, The VNC resolution is based on the resolution of the remote machine.  If you set the resolution higher there, it should be higher in VNC
[22:48] <xintron> duiu: Classic (6th gen)
[22:48] <Gendolookin> taylor-desktop.workgroup
[22:48] <xintron> duiu: but that shouldn't matter.
[22:48] <unop> genius, there's debsums which could help
[22:48] <billybigrigger> bobbob1016, ok well its headless, what config file do i set resolution?
[22:48] <Gendolookin> thats what it says in the "hosts" file
[22:49] <alistair> Mr_Fixit, yes did that and it seems to be - however unsure if its correct will try the options as described on previous url first.
[22:49] <duiu> xintron: Install GTK-pod
[22:49] <billybigrigger> bobbob1016, xorg?
[22:49] <xintron> duiu: I have that installed
[22:49] <Gendolookin> it just started in the last couple days....could it have anything to do with synergy?
[22:49] <bobbob1016> billybigrigger, Oh, that could be the issue.  Yeah, I'd say take everything else out of xorg.conf, but make sure to back it up before you do.
[22:49] <duiu> hrmm
[22:49] <unop> Gendolookin, does this give you anything?   grep -i $HOSTNAME /etc/hosts
[22:49] <carandraug> kalkan: do you get something when you enter "less /media/sda2/boot/grub/menu.lst" ? Can you get that as well?
[22:49] <billybigrigger> Mr_Fixit, you from calgary?
[22:49] <duiu> xintron: You could trk Amarok, but other than that I'm out of help. I could help you more if it was a ipod touch.
[22:49] <unop> gaspard, is the DISPLAY variable set in your session?  echo $DISPLAY
[22:50] <Mr_Fixit> yes..
[22:50] <Mr_Fixit> why you ask?? how you know????
[22:50] <xintron> duiu: I use rhythmbox and manually mounting it (leavning no rights to my own user and I can't change that :( )
[22:50] <Gendolookin> it says <IP_ADDRESS> taylor-desktop.workgroup
[22:50] <billybigrigger> Mr_Fixit, whois
[22:51] <billybigrigger> Mr_Fixit, thought you were my cousin, he used to rock the name Mr_Fixit a few years ago
[22:51] <unop> Gendolookin, and what does this give you?   hostname
[22:51] <Gendolookin> the output from the grep gave me <IP_ADDRESS> taylor-desktop.workgroup
[22:51] <duiu> xintron: add yourself to the mount group
[22:51] <unop> Gendolookin, and what does this command give you?   hostname
[22:51] <billybigrigger> Mr_Fixit, your name isn't warren is it?
[22:52] <duiu> xintron: Then you could mount it without sudo.
[22:52] <Gendolookin> taylor-desktop
[22:52] <unop> duiu, mount group ?
[22:52] <duiu> there's some group that lets you use mount and not be root
[22:52] <sagredo> how can I open up my apache2 serv to the internet
[22:52] <unop> Gendolookin, so there you go .. you don't have an entry for taylor-desktop in /etc/hosts
[22:53] <kalkan> carandraug,  no
[22:53] <Mr_Fixit> no billybigrigger
[22:53] <Gendolookin>  if i do a gedit to the hosts file, it shows taylor-desktoop.workgroup
[22:53] <jrib> sagredo: install the apache2 package and make sure your firewall or router does not interfere
[22:54] <unop> Gendolookin, taylor-desktoop.workgroup is not taylor-desktop
[22:54] <Gendolookin> right
[22:54] <gaspard> unop:  echo $DISPLAY
[22:54] <gaspard> :0.0
[22:54] <unop> Gendolookin, so add taylor-desktop  at the end of the line
[22:54] <xintron> I (using my normal user) can't write to my iPod that I manually mounted using "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ipod". How should I edit so I have write access to my iPod?
[22:54] <Gendolookin> i see, well......should i delete the .workgroup or add it to the other?
[22:54] <kalkan> carandraug,  there is only menu.lst.old
[22:54] <Gendolookin> OH
[22:55] <Gendolookin> hahahah i can't get sudo rights to edit the "hosts" file
[22:55] <carandraug> kalkan: pastebin the menu.lst.old then
[22:55] <jrib> Gendolookin: reboot into recovery mode
[22:55] <Gendolookin> nope wait, it worked
[22:55] <Gendolookin> would setting up samba have changed that?
[22:56] <Gendolookin> because i added my windows vista machine to my linux network
[22:56] <unop> gaspard, how about when you log on as the other user using.  sudo -u gaspard2
[22:56] <kalkan> carandraug, http://paste.ubuntu.com/41038/plain/
[22:56] <unop> Gendolookin, i don't think so
[22:56] <Gendolookin> welp, whatever did that i fixed it by adding the "taylor-desktop" to the file
[22:56] <Gendolookin> thank you very much guys
[22:57] <icesword> why is it
[22:57] <jrib> icesword: why is what?
[22:57] <icesword> FloodBot3 sets mode...
[22:57] <ubuntu_> holis
[22:58] <Gendolookin> yep, cuz now i can install the critical updates;) linux image 2.6.24-19  :) thanks again everyone
[22:58] <Gendolookin> also, does having a low latency image improve flash performance?????
[22:58] <jrib> icesword: scissors cut, humans make war, floodbots sets mode, it's the nature of the universe (ignore it)
[22:58] <xintron> I (using my normal user) can't write to my iPod that I manually mounted using "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ipod". How should I edit so I have write access to my iPod?
[22:58] <user01> how do i reload the fonts list?  i just added some to my .fonts directory
[22:59] <gaspard> unop, in both cases, my display is :0.0
[22:59] <Gendolookin> change the permissions on that ipod right?
[22:59] <Gendolookin> so that when it boots is writable?
[22:59] <Gendolookin> not boots, "mounts"
[22:59] <carandraug> kalkan: switch the end of your "/boot/grub/menu.lst" by this http://paste.ubuntu.com/41041/
[23:00] <gnufs> hi all, where are the default icon theme files are located?

[23:11] <nDuff> What needs to be done to get Flash to work in Firefox on Hardy amd64 other than installing flashplugin-nonfree?
[23:11] <histo> nDuff: what do you mean other than? thats it.
[23:11] <histo> !flash > nDuff
[23:11] <greenfishx3> quick quiz: where do i locate my settings for locale, timezone, what keyboard layout i use etc in a config file?
[23:12] <danbhfive> histo: he said that he was running amd64
[23:12] <skeeel> hello

[23:12] <histo> danbhfive: i'm runnign 64bit as well.
[23:13] <danbhfive> I don't think it is, you need some sort of rapper, I thought
[23:13] <Digit> hey all
[23:13] <histo> danbhfive: not anymore
[23:13] <histo> danbhfive: I'm running 64bit myself.
[23:13] <nDuff> histo, hrm... if I read that correctly, I need to install and use a 32-bit browser. Eww -- IIRC, Gentoo has had a shim for allowing 64-bit browsers to use 32-bit plugins for quite some time now.

[23:14] <skeeel> i have a problem , with any prog that i can use on full screen (mplayer, 3d games) when i'm on fullscreen and i want to switch on windowed mode it scramble my screen , i need to quit the prog to have my screen well
[23:14] <histo> nDuff: firefox works fine here.
[23:14] <skeeel> any idea ?
[23:14] <histo> nDuff: if you go to a site like youtube it will prompt you for a flash plugin you can just use the gui to instlal it.
[23:14] <danbhfive> !flash64 | nDuff histo      I don't know, but here is the factoid
[23:15] <jaguarandi_> hi carandraug
[23:15] <molgrum> skeeel: what gfx drivers?
[23:15] <Digit> I installed a fresh Hardy and it hangs after reboot "Loading, please wait..."   common problem on forums, but no real solution
[23:15] <Digit> works live though
[23:15] <kalkan> carandraug,  it still doesnt work
[23:15] <histo> danbhfive: nDuff I just went to a flash site and used the notification to instal it. It installed flashplugin-nonfree
[23:15] <skeeel> ati ones molgrum , i just updated it and same with new drivers
[23:16] <carandraug> kalkan: what's the error?
[23:16] <nDuff> hrm; I already have npwrapper.libflashplayer.so already installed (incl. in about:plugins), it just doesn't seem to be working correctly.
[23:16] <molgrum> skeeel: ok my suggestions were to try with the repo driver and the envy driver, neither works?
[23:16] <histo> nDuff: danbhfive And i'm running a 64bit version of firefox
[23:16] <molgrum> ati on linux is a pain
[23:16] <skeeel> i haven't tried them , and i had bad exp with envy so i keep far away from it :)
[23:17] <danny> hello, just a question... how can I configure the Gnome desktop to play the welcome music not with the last loudness after my last shutdown but with a low value which does not change between reboots? I might just have awaked my neighbors from the dead...

[23:17] <kalkan> carandraug,  i dont know, it puts file or directory error, or so

[23:19] <Watza> Hi
[23:19] <Watza> i'm on an eee pc, are there an interest to upgrade logs which are installed by default on eeeXUbuntu (7.10)
[23:20] <carandraug> kalkan: ok. you should try OpenSuSe channel as well
[23:20] <greenfishx3> Watza: you should have logs turned off
[23:20] <carandraug> kalkan: you'll have to tell them that GRUB is accessing Ubuntu's menu.lst and show them that file
[23:20] <greenfishx3> Never log messages or error log to the SSD
[23:20] <bane> ui9oyui
[23:21] <Watza> ok.

[23:23] <danbhfive> !info amixer | danny
[23:23] <markus_> oy guys ...
[23:23] <markus_> hi there ...
[23:24] <danbhfive> danny: try looking at amixer.  You might be able to setup a bootup command that sets the volume
[23:24] <markus_> erm ... i have the following problem ... i can not mount a partition
[23:25] <danny> bye and thanks for the help
[23:25] <greenfishx3> quick quiz: where do i locate my settings for locale, timezone, what keyboard layout i use etc in a config file?
[23:26] <markus_> erm ... guys ... can you please help me? -> http://phpfi.com/347891
[23:26] <Lehan> Hello everybody!I have kinda strange suggestion...can someone help me to install ubuntu on my laptop on 15 september or a bit later?All i need is a bit help with creating partishions.(sorry,i may spelled it wrong)
[23:26] <Xcerca> is there a way to use startupmanager if i have install grub-gfxboot ?
[23:27] <Xcerca> or should i just use menu.lst and install usplash themes manualy ?
[23:27] <danbhfive> markus_: do you have windows?
[23:27] <markus_> yes
[23:28] <danbhfive> markus_: then, why dont you follow the instructions?
[23:28] <markus_> windows is installed on this partition
[23:28] <danbhfive> markus_: from Choice 1
[23:28] <markus_> and the next problem is ...
[23:28] <markus_> i can't turn it on at the moment ...
[23:29] <danbhfive> markus_: you can't boot windows?
[23:29] <markus_> sp3 made a mistake and copied a file in a system directory
[23:29] <markus_> and now i wanted to use linux
[23:29] <markus_> to alter the file-name
[23:29] <markus_> it worked the last time too
[23:31] <danbhfive> well, it looks like you don't have many options, since it was probably uncleanly mounted because of the same problem that prevents windows from booting
[23:32] <lauchax> hola
[23:32] <lauchax> hohohoohohlaa
[23:32] <danbhfive> markus_: I suggest you run chkdsk after you do whatever choice you make
[23:32] <markus_> no ... the problem is a wrong copied file :) ... but danbhfive, ... i'll be back in minute ... i will try something new ... i found something on a website that could work
[23:32] <markus_> http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/fastFaqLiteDocument?lc=de&cc=de&docname=c01458965&dlc=&printable=yes&encodeUrl=true&
[23:32] <lauchax> no speak englishhhhhhhhhhh
[23:35] <badkitty> I bought a 1TB hard drive the otherday to use as network storage, but I can't decide whether to use Freenas or Ubuntu Samba Sharefor this purpose. Any insight as to what the benefits of each are?
[23:36] <debCarlos> How can i find what "rights" a file have ? (In octal) ?
[23:36] <badkitty> debCarlos: type ls -l
[23:36] <Syco54645_AAO> wahoo got ubuntu on my acer aspire one
[23:36] <badkitty> ls -l will show the rights of the folder
[23:36] <debCarlos> badkitty, it displays the rights in letters, i want the octal value ... :)
[23:36] <Syco54645_AAO> i am trying to streamline this thing
[23:36] <badkitty> deb .. OH
[23:37] <greenfishx3> badkitty: western digital?
[23:37] <badkitty> greenfishx3: Yup
[23:37] <markus_> isn't there a website that translates the letters in octal?
[23:37] <riegersn> Is there are way to send CTR-ALT-DEL through RDESKTOP ?
[23:37] <greenfishx3> badkitty: i use one my self, running vanilla linux (the one that came with the unit)+nfs here have a look here: http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/start
[23:37] <greendot> so i have a "buffalo wli-u2-kg54-ai" and i followed instructions to get it working in ubuntu.  i found out it was a usb 1.x problem i had most of the time, so i hooked it up to a 2.0 and it started working great.  however, i moved my computer to the other side of the room where the signal is much better, and now it's not working at all!  the module from the ndiswrapper is "rt2500usb"
[23:38] <ThersiT> is there a man page reader in ubuntu desktop by default?
[23:38] <greenfishx3> badkitty: on that wiki, you have all sorts of options to "hack" your unit, incl freenas, samba etc
[23:38] <badkitty> greenfishx3: Mine is an internal drive btw
[23:38] <AeronTS> i did an "apt-get upgrade" yesterday, and now Firefox has not "x" button in the top right corner.  In fact I can't even move Firefox or this Gnome-XChat program around on the screen, what gives?
[23:39] <badkitty> AeronTS: do you use compiz?
[23:39] <Sidonuke> I so happy. Ive officially converted to Ubuntu from Windows Vista and my computer has never ran so fast before.
[23:39] <markus_> Sidonuke, :))
[23:39] <AeronTS> badkitty: what is compiz?
[23:39] <badkitty> AeronTS: is it only in firefox or other apps too?
[23:39] <debCarlos> Hey, if i change the permissions of a file like /dev/input/js0 (Joystick), next time i unplug and plug him, will he have the permissions i give to it or the old ones ?
[23:39] <ThersiT> or can anyone reconmend a gtk man page reader?
[23:39] <mgrant> riegersn: http://stevenharman.net/blog/archive/2007/08/29/how-to-ctrl--alt--del-in-remote-desktop.aspx
[23:40] <markus_> what about xterm ThersiT ??
[23:40] <Guest66066> hey I want to reproduce an audio file from command line, what would it be the best ? I have test with mplayer but Mplayer does not reproduce some files.
[23:40] <markus_> i only read them with the terminal
[23:40] <lwizardl> how can i stop 8.04 from auto playing dvd video discs
[23:40] <favro> ThersiT: in a terminal you type   man "command" - e.g. man ls
[23:40] <debCarlos> ThersiT: Search in synaptic, or do a $ apt-get search man page
[23:40] <ThersiT> cool, thanx
[23:40] <badkitty> AeronTS: Compiz is eyecandy for your desktop ... anyhow is it only in firefox or with other apps as well?
[23:41] <AeronTS> badkitty: it's *all* applications :(
[23:41] <markus_> i'll be back in a sec
[23:41] <debCarlos> Guest66066, I used to play them with alsaplayer-text ...
[23:41] <saschahl> debCarlos: the old ones
[23:41] <debCarlos> saschahl, oh, thanks :)
[23:41] <badkitty> AeronTS: Ok so that means your window manager probably crashed or whatever .. umm let see here
[23:41] <Guest66066> debCarlos, really ? what would it be the order ??? alsaplayer ... ?
[23:41] <saschahl> debCarlos: if you want them to be persistent, you should write an udev rule for it
[23:41] <AeronTS> badkitty, thanks for the help :)
[23:42] <badkitty> AeronTS: sure .. hang on there bud
[23:42] <debCarlos> saschahl, No, i wanted them to be temporal ...
[23:42] <Guest66066> debCarlos, oooh I am installing it
[23:42] <riegersn> mgrant, that actually doesn't work with rdesktop
[23:42] <mgrant> :/
[23:42] <badkitty> aeron go to system, preferences, appearance
[23:42] <debCarlos> Guest66066, i used it because i thinked ( until you said that mplayer does that too) that it was the only one who did that...
[23:43] <Dedicated> is someone using trackerd for a very large amount of files?
[23:43] <Guest66066> debCarlos, ok thanks man
[23:44] <riegersn> mgrant, any ideas?
[23:44] <mgrant> riegersn: sure I've done it before, but no windows boxes here to test with :/

[23:52] <favro> AeronTS: yep

[23:56] <samurailink3> My voice is all Jabba The Hut sounding
[23:56] <hkl> debCarlos: yah I know that I need help when i download KDE themes off the internet....they don't show up
[23:56] <debCarlos> hkl: Are you usin kde or gnome ?
[23:57] <hkl> gnome...
[23:57] <HomingHamster> LOL
[23:57] <infexion> I am having a problem with being able to access a mounted sd card
[23:57] <debCarlos> hkl: Then you can't install kde themes.... i think ?
[23:57] <debCarlos> !sd
[23:57] <hkl> ...=( oh what then ... what files  do i
[23:57] <student> hkl, debCarlos: i think you can install kde themes, but i dont think you can actually use them
[23:57] <Pici> You cannot.
[23:57] <droopsta915> when my computer hibernates, it wont start up again. what can i do to start it.
[23:57] <Flipi> When I try to install Ubuntu it loads up then takes me to this screen that says Initramfs: type help for commands. Except I can't type anything

[23:58] <infexion> and I can access it if I use root permissions but I was wondering if there is a way to change the permissions
[23:58] <student> is there a way to change the password to the keyring manager?
[23:58] <debCarlos> infexion: Maybe with chmod
