[16:59] <apelW> do I have to make a new key or does it work for both?
[16:59] <Maizcul> I have absolutely no idea how to go about getting it to work :(
[16:59] <Jack_Sparrow> pLr since anyone can create a mirror I doubt you will find a list like that
[16:59] <cutterjohn> LjL: yep, plus there's one thats based on a Via C7M or something too, but not Asus
[16:59] <LjL> cutterjohn: yes, the HP MiniNote if i'm not mistaken
[16:59] <kebomix> hello , i have bad sector virus on my hard disk MBR , and i cant install ubuntu ? !!!! any solutions ?
[16:59] <LjL> cutterjohn: anyway, the Atom presents itself as dual-core, and my scaling applets often showed different speeds - although it might just be the applets' fault
[16:59] <pLr> Jack_Sparrow: I have already found the list within the GUI of synaptic.. I want to find the file that has this list
[17:00] <cutterjohn> LjL: might be, but I ws thinking about a Japanese one (tiny company) has a PowerVR based GPU integrated (Via)
[17:00] <cutterjohn> LjL: Chrome9 maybe?
[17:00] <Jack_Sparrow> pLr can you direct me to the part of synaptic you are refering to..
[17:00] <LjL> cutterjohn: don't know about that
[17:01] <pronoy> DRebellion: where are all the softwares installed...i mean which folder...e.g /etc ?
[17:01] <cutterjohn> LjL: so how is the Eee?
[17:01] <pLr> bor1: you can remove libsasl2-2 i just tested it, it will remove other progs you must take note of and reinstall also, then continue should work... or try apt-get check
[17:01] <pLr> Jack_Sparrow: yes.. loading synaptic 1 sec
[17:01] <DRebellion> pronoy, software is spread around the file system, for example /etc/ contains configuration files.
[17:01] <cutterjohn> LjL: do you really get TONs of battery life?
[17:01] <elad`> How do I get the man files for C/C++ installed?
[17:01] <apelW> mphill:  can I use the same key for two clients?
[17:01] <LjL> cutterjohn: slightly more than 5 hours with wifi enabled (and nothing else enabled)
[17:02] <mphill> apelW: yes
[17:02] <LjL> elad`: sudo apt-get install manpages-dev
[17:02] <apelW> hmm
[17:02] <pronoy> DRebellion: so during installation which folder needs to be alloted maximum space....if needed ?
[17:02] <pLr> Jack_Sparrow: Settings -> Repositories -> click on the Download From: drop down -> Choose Other... -> this is the list
[17:02] <mphill> teh client get the file .ssh/id_rsa the server gets .ssh/authorized_hosts
[17:02] <pLr> Jack_Sparrow: i just need it from the cli
[17:02] <DRebellion> pronoy, i don't understand what you're asking?
[17:02] <cutterjohn> LjL: how is it when you are putting more stress on the machine? i.e. ever tried to compile any packages while onbattery?
[17:02] <apelW> mphill:  and I just need it to have that name and to be in .ssh? ( mphill )
[17:02] <elad`> Thanks.
[17:03] <mphill> i think you can even use GNOME's seahorse to do all this graphically.
[17:03] <n0yd> mphill, btw, ext4 works fine on default kernel, I tested
[17:03] <n0yd> mphill, no gnome mount though, gotta manual mount
[17:03] <Jack_Sparrow> pLr I am on an older release atm that does not have that..  Let me look at something for a sec.
[17:03] <Maizcul> Anyone got any ideas on how to get "Fn" key working?
[17:03] <pronoy> DRebellion: because...last time i alloted 10 gigs just to /home...a new portion altogether...just thought all the softwares are installed there
[17:03] <LjL> cutterjohn: i have compiled some stuff but never really did any benchmarking
[17:04] <Forge__> Hi.  I am trying to open an X11 session between my Ubuntu desktop and a Sun server.  On the server side the comand was simply "# export DISPLAY=mydesktopip:0.0".  I don't know what to do at the desktop end thogh.  Any ideas?
[17:04] <mphill> n0yd: freal? I must have tested it in an alpha release.  I am going to format my USB drive to ext4 to be uber l33t now.
[17:04] <n0yd> Whats the preferred method of copying my / partition to another drive besides using dd which would require me to use a live cd so both volumes wouldnt be online
[17:04] <cutterjohn> LjL: hmmm...  I think that I'm going to hold off on a fallback long batt life portable then... want to see if anyone else releases one with discrete GPUs and maybe the N330...
[17:04] <pLr> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[17:04] <DRebellion> pronoy, /home is just for per-user configuration, and user's files like music and videos
[17:04] <bor1> pLr: no, I'm pretty sure it's not okay to remove it
[17:05] <meganox> pronoy: most software is installed in /usr
[17:05] <pLr> bor1: did u try apt-get check
[17:05] <LjL> n0yd: it can be "online" (mounted). it just needs to be mounted read-only. that can be done from recovery mode.
[17:05] <pronoy> DRebellion: ok...so /usr it is :)
[17:05] <Maizcul> I can't use scroll lock without Fn Key >.<
[17:05] <mphill> n0yd: as far is know dd is what you use for block copying.  Or if you want use tar -cf backup.tar /path/to/drive/
[17:05] <bor1> pLr: it doesn't report any problems
[17:06] <scientes> is there anyway to unlock the cursor
[17:06] <cutterjohn> LjL:  I made some progress on my LCD resolutions, but I still don't have the proper synch/refresh rates, but now instead of staying comletely black I can see that it looks like it tries to switch res but doesn't quite work, so I suspect refresh/synch values... waiting to hear back from mfg about LCD panel data
[17:06] <cutterjohn> LjL: plus another problem
[17:06] <scientes> i was moving a gnome-panel and it locked my cursor so i couldnt release or clock on anything
[17:06] <scientes> and i had to restart everything and kill my session from the command line
[17:06] <pLr> bor1: you have to remove and reinstall them, i just did it, it works, apt-get install ubuntu-minimal gnupg libcurl3-gnutls libldap-2.4-2 ubuntu-keyring  <-- After reinstalling libsasl2-2
[17:06] <scientes> as it was about to log me out cause i pressed ctrl-alt-deleate
[17:07] <cutterjohn> LjL: and I added my data to the EDID parse failure bug in launchpad
[17:07] <scientes> i just lost everything
[17:08] <rich_> good morning, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight to all
[17:08] <rich_> does anyone know to alt control delete for vmware server 2 in ubuntu from a macbook pro?
[17:08] <bor1> pLr: "apt-get --reinstall install libsasl2-2" gives me the same error
[17:08] <Jack_Sparrow> pLr I did not drop you , I brought up a release with that and I am using synaptic to look at properties in the synaptic install to see if I spot it.

[17:15] <outoftime> hi all - i'm trying to install alsa drivers from source, and it says for my kernel version i need to specify the kernel build dir when i configure - but i have no idea what that dir is. any help?
[17:15] <Maizcul> blip-: at least yours work!
[17:15] <Maizcul> Mine just flat out refuse.
[17:15] <Maizcul> I don't think ubuntu even recognises that i've pressed the FN key
[17:16] <mphill> Maizcul: what chipset?
[17:16] <blip-> Maizcul: my Dell buttons are on the laptop directly , dedicated.  no fn access

[17:18] <Mohero> hi all
[17:18] <Kirdaiht> hello, i have an problem with the instalation of ubunu. somewhere after the first screen i get some kind of terminal.
[17:18] <mphill> try lspci from the command line
[17:18] <Lo_> Any good site/facility/app accessible from ubuntu to assess ADSL internet connection speed?
[17:18] <outoftime> can anyone tell me how to find my kernel build dir?
[17:19] <Maizcul> speedtest.net
[17:19] <Mohero> firefox has just stopped loading after a system lockup, it tells me it is already running, anyone know how to sort this/where it keeps its PID file ?
[17:19] <pLr> outoftime: check the master kernel thread on the ubuntu forums
[17:19] <outoftime> pLr: will do - thank you!
[17:19] <Lo_> Maizcul, Thanks.
[17:19] <Maizcul> No problem :)
[17:19] <bor1> Mohero: ~/.mozilla/firefox/[something].default/.parentlock
[17:20] <mphill> Mohero: thats a common issue for me.  add the system monitor to your gnome bar, then click it once and go to process.  find firefox and kill it
[17:20] <mphill> or killall -9 firefox
[17:21] <bitmonk> hello, i installed Intrepid into a Xen VM as normal, using the server iso, and then reconfigured the Xen VM to be paravirtualized.  The system boots and network services, including ssh, work fine, but I have no login prompt on the xen console after service start messages complete, and wonder if the newer kernel may want different options than those suggested at http://community.citrix.com/blogs/citrite/anilma/2008/07/02/Installing+Ubun
[17:21] <Mohero> mphill: no, it's not actually running, the system has been rebooted 2 or 3 times
[17:21] <Maizcul> Any ideas on my "Fn" key then?
[17:22] <maximilian-schro> hi. i have a problem installing ubuntu 8.10 on my desktop. the installation process cant create a filesystem. i tried to do a filesytem manualy with a qtparted live cd aswell, but no luck. any hint for me?
[17:22] <Maizcul> I don't think ubuntu recognises it being pressed, or it does and it ignores it. e.g. in keyboard shortcuts I can't do anything using "fn"+"Z" because it doesn't put down the "Fn" bit
[17:22] <mgolisch> maximilian-schro: whats the error you get?
[17:23] <pLr> Maizcul: system -> prefs -> keyboard shortcuts
[17:23] <sachael> I'm looking for a gtk program similar to the kde BasKet notepad (I already know about notecase)?
[17:23] <pLr> maximilian-schro: you need to shut down your windows properly
[17:23] <maximilian-schro> i dont have windows
[17:24] <maximilian-schro> i had ubuntu 8.10 server installed on it previously
[17:24] <mgolisch> maximilian-schro: again whats the error?
[17:24] <slayton> sachael, what is basket/
[17:24] <slayton> ?
[17:24] <sachael> slaytanic, a note taking app
[17:24] <maximilian-schro> mgolisch,  let me check this. one mooent please. i force the error again
[17:24] <nil> sachael: tomboy?
[17:25] <sachael> nil, tomboy isn't hierarchical? :(
[17:25] <nil> sachael: it's a note-taking / post-it / desktop wiki app
[17:25] <mgolisch> you can build a hierachy on the start note and link to the other notes
[17:25] <mgolisch> or something
[17:25] <nil> sachael: with the concept of notebooks (i level hierarchy)
[17:25] <mgolisch> like a wiki
[17:26] <mgolisch> its quite useful, i love tomboy
[17:26] <mgolisch> :9
[17:26] <sachael> well, there is Notecase, which actually does what i want, but it looks hideous...
[17:27] <nil> mgolisch: i also loge tomboy, i store there "everything i don't want to loose"
[17:27] <E4emacs4> Kjots is a nice note taking app too if you don't mind a few KDE libs

[17:29] <Maizcul> Have you tried multiple addons?
[17:30] <Mohero> bor1: thanks, that fixed my issue,  turnes out it had mounted /home in read only mode too.
[17:30] <erythrocyte> Maizcul: yes...and all of them never seem to download
[17:30] <sysdoc> erythrocyte, I just installed an addon with no issues
[17:31] <erythrocyte> sysdoc: ok then..it must be a local network issue or something
[17:31] <aboSamoor> Hi, I am trying to boot ubuntu live cd, but I got many squashfs read errors, I checked the CD and it has no errors ! any idea ?

[17:32] <guest6294> im using wicd to connect wirelessly, however when I enable the encryption options, although I give the correct key, it will not authenticate, I have read something about wpa_supplicant, is it installed by default in ubuntu 8.10?
[17:32] <assem> was playing with screensaver themes and i thought i should report that, "colorfire" among a few others, races my CPU usage to 60%+ for both cores and I hear a high pitch whistle coming from my computer...
[17:32] <Maizcul> Assem: try putting it on the forums
[17:33] <maximilian-schro> guest6294, do you use kde or gnome? i had the same problem in kde 4.1 becauce the network manage didn't work asit should do.
[17:33] <mjdez> hello
[17:33] <FiReSTaRT> just curious.. is there a fix for the hybernation/suspend issue out yet? i tried uninstalling compiz and it didn't help
[17:33] <Maizcul> mjdez: howdy
[17:33] <mgolisch> FiReSTaRT: what issue?
[17:34] <FiReSTaRT> blank screen when you try to restore from a suspend
[17:34] <guest6294> maximilian-schro, im using gnome, with wicd, i got rid of network manager
[17:34] <mjdez> still a n00b at ubuntu and linux,.... how can i access network settings if i cannot login as root?
[17:34] <almostdvs> i am confused on the subject of ppa's and authentication anyone wish to clarify some things for me?
[17:34] <Chun> Having a bit of trouble creating an ad-hoc wireless network in 8.10; I've been using 'create new wireless network' -- it seems to try to connect for 10 seconds, then errors: This network connection has been disconnected
[17:34] <guest6294> mjdez, you cant login as root in ubuntu
[17:35] <mjdez> aware.... but still cannot access network settings
[17:35] <sysdoc> I'm running twin view with two x-sessions, and the launchers on the second screen crash gnome-panel. Anyone have a suggestion?
[17:35] <mgolisch> FiReSTaRT: might be related to the graphics card
[17:35] <guest6294> mjdez, whats the error?
[17:35] <FiReSTaRT> mgolisch: the dreaded nvidia.. that is true.. there was a lot of talk that it didn't mesh well with compiz, so i tried uninstalling it but the issue still exists
[17:35] <guest6294> mjdez, when you access the network settings the OS will ask you for a password, your user password, thats all
[17:35] <mjdez> System > Administration > <Network> doesn't exist. ultimately i'm trying to connect my ubuntu machine to my home windows network
[17:36] <maximilian-schro> guest6294, sorry but i cant help with wicd. sorry. i was just wondering if it is a kde problem for you aswell. sorry
[17:36] <sysdoc> FiReSTaRT, Which NV driver are you using?
[17:36] <mjdez> in a gui or terminal?
[17:36] <mgolisch> FiReSTaRT: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaLaptopBinaryDriverSuspend << tried that?
[17:36] <guest6294> mjdez, my suggestion is to get rid of network manager and install wicd
[17:37] <mjdez> okay...
[17:37] <FiReSTaRT> mgolisch: im using 177.. i'll give this link a shot
[17:37] <sysdoc> FiReSTaRT, Use the 173 driver
[17:37] <Maizcul> Any one got an idea about how to get laptop "Fn" key to work?
[17:38] <FiReSTaRT> sysdoc: that's been documented to fix it?
[17:38] <guest6294> im using wicd to connect wirelessly, however when I enable the encryption options, although I give the correct key, it will not authenticate, I have read something about wpa_supplicant, is it installed by default in ubuntu 8.10? anyone has any ideas as to why encryption does not work?
[17:38] <sysdoc> FiReSTaRT, the 173 driver worked for me
[17:39] <FiReSTaRT> sysdoc: i'll give it a shot then... as soon as i finish my breakfast which should be just about ready :P
[17:39] <FiReSTaRT> thanks for the tip :)
[17:39] <maximilian-schro> mgolisch,  i now get aswell errors while booting the livre cd. it says Buffer I/0 Error. i never had this before. after this a lot of errors follow. they all start with ata1.00 and dont stop. :S they repeat
[17:39] <Maizcul> bad CD?
[17:39] <rww> guest6294: to find out if wpasupplicant is installed on your system, open a terminal and issue "aptitude search wpasupplicant". If it's installed, the one line of output will start with the letter "i" (for Installed)
[17:40] <rww> guest6294: unfortunately, I don't use wifi, so I can't help you much more than that.
[17:40] <MadChopr> what backup software do you guys recommend, i'm giong to use tapes for backups
[17:40] <mgolisch> maximilian-schro: maybe your cddrive is broken? or your controler?
[17:40] <FiReSTaRT> sysdoc: i get the msg SystemError: Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
[17:40] <MadChopr> i was thinking about the tape backup program from maryland .... AMANDA
[17:40] <maximilian-schro> i will try the second drive. but i could boot into the livecd just 15min ago
[17:41] <Lancelot> my wireless won't work for some reason; it always asks for certificates?
[17:41] <Lancelot> and it never connects to the internet
[17:41] <ChrisBookwood> Do i need to uncomment the line "# kopt=root=UUID=09c88f95-3096-4575-a7c1-d144e820c115 ro quiet splash" in /boot/grub/menu.lst to get it to take effekt?
[17:41] <Lancelot> can anyone help?
[17:41] <guest6294> rww, it's installed
[17:41] <Maizcul> tried turning off certificates?
[17:41] <Lancelot> Maizcul: how do I do that?
[17:41] <sysdoc> FiReSTaRT, Deactivate the 177 then activate the 173
[17:41] <FiReSTaRT> and now hardware drivers froze up on me
[17:41] <Maizcul> Network settings
[17:41] <Lancelot> Maizcul: okay, one sec
[17:41] <rww> guest6294: what type of network are you using? WEP? WPA? WPA2?
[17:41] <FiReSTaRT> sysdoc that's what happened when i tried to deactivate 177
[17:42] <Lancelot> let me try ;)
[17:42] <guest6294> rww, WPA2
[17:43] <FiReSTaRT> ok i'll eat and then retry
[17:43] <ChrisBookwood> Do i need to uncomment the line "# kopt=root=UUID=09c88f95-3096-4575-a7c1-d144e820c115 ro quiet splash" in /boot/grub/menu.lst order to make it take effect?
[17:43] <mgolisch> ChrisBookwood: no, its used by update-grub to rewrite the entrys for each kernel it finds
[17:44] <ChrisBookwood> thank you
[17:44] <mgolisch> ChrisBookwood: it uses the options specified there in every entry it generates
[17:44] <sysdoc> I'm running twin view with two x-sessions, and the launchers on the second screen crash gnome-panel. Anyone have a suggestion?
[17:45] <Myrtti> is there a command to check which process is taking up the sound devices?

[17:45] <fbc> I'm curious, If an Ubuntu Muslim edition locates an Ubuntu Jewish Edition online does it try to attack it?
[17:45] <Maizcul> keyboard Fn key won't work, any ideas on getting it working? Sony Vaio Lappy.
[17:45] <Lancelot> Maizcul: I went to the network connections, and clicked on one of them to edit, and this message popped up? Allow application access to keyring? The application 'nm-connection-editor' wants to access the password for 'Network secret for [network] in the default keyring.  You're as far off topic as can be.
[17:46] <shiMMer> what is best application to searching and connect to wireless??
[17:46] <Maizcul> Lancelot: Try allow always then x)
[17:46] <Lancelot> ok
[17:46] <kusanagi> how do i know what tcp/udp ports are using each application?
[17:46] <Lancelot> now the network config. went away...
[17:46] <Maizcul> Weird :S
[17:47] <ChrisBookwood> mgolisch, it's just funny. Cause even though my line looks like '# kopt=root=UUID=09c88f95-3096-4575-a7c1-d144e820c115 ro quiet splash', it still does show the message of what it boots, and not only usplash
[17:47] <Maizcul> Are you connecting ad hoc to another PC or to a router?
[17:47] <fbc> Maizcul, ok, ok, meaculpa.
[17:47] <Lancelot> ad hoc
[17:47] <Maizcul> hmm
[17:47] <Pici> Myrtti: lsof | grep /dev/dsp OR whatever your sound device should work
[17:47] <rww> ChrisBookwood: run sudo update-grub after you edit menu.lst
[17:47] <ChrisBookwood> rww: trust me - i have tried!
[17:48] <Maizcul> Click edit again now
[17:48] <Lancelot> okay
[17:48] <Lancelot> 1 sec
[17:48] <mgolisch> ChrisBookwood: if you run update-grub after changing that and it still persists i asume it due to the used usplash theme
[17:48] <Maizcul> Under wireless security try "open system"
[17:48] <kusanagi> is there anyway to relate a port (tpc or udp) with an aplication?
[17:48] <ChrisBookwood> mgolisch, so you say there's something wrong with my usplash theme or?
[17:48] <kusanagi> to list the applications i mean
[17:48] <Lancelot> where's that? :/
[17:49] <Maizcul> It's a tab
[17:49] <rww> ChrisBookwood: After you run update-grub, go back into menu.lst and see if the options you want got added to the automagic section at the bottom. If so, yeah, it's a theme thing.
[17:49] <mgolisch> kusanagi: list in what?
[17:49] <Lancelot> i know, but i can't find "open system"
[17:49] <Lancelot> wait
[17:49] <ChrisBookwood> rww, it is
[17:49] <Lancelot> sorry
[17:49] <Lancelot> lol
[17:49] <Lancelot> stupid me...
[17:49] <meganox> kusanagi: netstat?
[17:49] <ChrisBookwood> it looks perfect in the list at the bottom of menu.lst
[17:49] <Maizcul> Kek
[17:49] <Lancelot> should i check the box "system setting"?
[17:49] <FloodBot2> Lancelot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:50] <Lancelot> should i check the box "system setting"?
[17:50] <Maizcul> try it first as is
[17:50] <kusanagi> meganox, i guess netstat is able to do that but i cant find the option :S
[17:50] <Maizcul> then if that doesn't work again without
[17:50] <maximilian-schro> mgolisch,  u get the same problem during starting with the other drive aswell. i totaly confuses me because it worked some minutes ago.
[17:51] <Lancelot> okay, i'm not within range, but i will try later
[17:51] <XenSA> is there a noob irc channel for dumasses linke me?
[17:51] <Lancelot> thank you, Maizcul! :)
[17:51] <Maizcul> No problem :)
[17:51] <ChrisBookwood> rww & mgolisch, any ideas to how i fix the usplash theme then?
[17:51] <Myrtti> XenSA: surely you're not that noob, since you've got Ubuntu :-)
[17:51] <shiMMer> what is best application for search and connect wireless??
[17:51] <meganox> kusanagi: you want to find applications are listening on which ports?  netstat -l
[17:51] <mgolisch> ChrisBookwood: did you download it externaly?
[17:51] <Myrtti> XenSA: shoot your questions, we'll answer them if we can
[17:52] <XenSA> what is the difference with these files?
[17:52] <ChrisBookwood> no, some weeks ago i installed another usplash theme, and that's kinda when it went wrong
[17:52] <ChrisBookwood> mgolisch, i am using the default now, though
[17:52] <nurettin> hello i have got problem. my problem is in tho toolbar my sound icom closed when linuxant modem drivers. apt-get removed but not happened plaese help. thank you.
[17:52] <XenSA> opera_10.00.4102.gcc3.qt3_i386.deb
[17:53] <mgolisch> ChrisBookwood: oh you might need to rebuild the initramfs
[17:53] <paulo> #ubuntu-es
[17:53] <kusanagi> thanks meganox it was something like that
[17:53] <XenSA> opera_10.00.4102.gcc4.qt4_i386.deb
[17:53] <ChrisBookwood> mgolisch, i try google that then
[17:53] <mgolisch> ChrisBookwood: did you do that? if you used startupmanager it should have done that for you
[17:53] <Frxstrem> Does Ubuntu Studio come with an Windows Installer (to install it inside Windows)?
[17:53] <ChrisBookwood> mgolisch, i have tried with startupmanager
[17:53] <XenSA> opera-static_10.00.4102.gcc4.qt3_i386.deb
[17:53] <Pretto> how much hd space do i need to mirror Intrepid repo?
[17:53] <fbc> XenSA, notice he only said not a noob.
[17:54] <meganox> Frxstrem: like wubi?
[17:54] <orochi_> just a quick poll :> are most people here using 8.10 or have you been sticking to 8.04?
[17:54] <rww> !poll | orochi_
[17:54] <Frxstrem> ??? I mean like the installer in Ubuntu, that makes you able to install Ubuntu inside Windows...
[17:54] <adm_> #lfs :http://www.linuxfromscratch.org
[17:54] <maximilian-schro> orochi_, both :)
[17:54] <Slart> orochi_: I think most have updated to 8.10..
[17:54] <Myrtti> XenSA: the other one is for newer KDE, built with GNU C compiler version 4, the other for a bit older KDE with GNU C compiler 3, and the last one is built on newer GNU C compiler, with the GUI KDE files inside
[17:54] <fbc> orochi_, I did the first week that 8.10 came out.. but I was quick brought into the fold.
[17:55] <meganox> orochi_: 8.10 on laptop was planning on moving back to hardy but might stick with it, waiting to see how networking goes
[17:55] <Maizcul> Hmm... Conky's reporting 58% ram usage, all i'm running is it and pidgin, wouldn't have thought they put it that high
[17:55] <XenSA> so i use gnome on 8.10 which one for me ..none?
[17:55] <Myrtti> XenSA: I'd take the latter
[17:55] <Myrtti> XenSA: Qt3 with gcc4
[17:55] <meganox> Frxstrem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=759827
[17:55] <Myrtti> XenSA: but hold on, I'll check
[17:55] <XenSA> ta
[17:55] <XenSA> holding....
[17:55] <mgolisch> Maizcul: run free -m, read the second line, thats how much actualy is used - buffers and caches
[17:55] <AndyB> Im trying to install grub on internal drive from live cd, but when i run "grub-install" it says it "Cannot find /boot:" anyone have any advice?
[17:56] <XenSA> http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/10.0-Alpha-1/intel-linux/
[17:56] <erUSUL> !ram | Maizcul
[17:56] <fbc> Maizcul,  Don't feel so bad, just booting up to the gui gets me 66% memory utilization and i got a gig of ram.
[17:56] <meganox> Frxstrem: http://www.ubustu.com/globe/2007/05/23/add-ubuntu-studio-to-an-existing-ubuntu-install/ note instructions are for gutsy but should help you get started
[17:56] <Maizcul> free: 9 ...
[17:56] <mgolisch> AndyB: does it have /boot on that drive? i mean are grubs files there too?
[17:56] <Frxstrem> thanks, meganox
[17:57] <Myrtti> XenSA: yeah, the latter.
[17:57] <Pretto> :(
[17:57] <AndyB> mgolisch, no its running from live cd, and xp is on the internal drive
[17:57] <XenSA> thank you
[17:57] <Myrtti> XenSA: 8.10 comes with gcc4 installed, so you'd be fine with that
[17:57] <nurettin> hello i have got problem. my problem is in tho toolbar my sound icom closed when linuxant modem drivers. apt-get removed but not happened plaese help. thank you.
[17:57] <Maizcul> total is only 438 though. Sony say 512mb ram, but they go by 1000bytes/kb/mb instead of 1024, theiving gits xD
[17:57] <Glenna> having trouble with flash player download can someone help
[17:58] <shausam27> i need help with kbarcode label it will not print right
[17:58] <meganox> Glenna: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578  instructions to set up pulseaudio with flash for intrepid and hardy
[17:59] <orochi_> fbc: I installed 8.10 when it first came out too :> 8.04 worked so well for me that i had high hopes for intrepid, i was not expecting so many severe bugs in the final version
[17:59] <mgolisch> AndyB: does that drive a ext3 partition at all? or do you just want the mbr to be replaced with grubs?
[17:59] <Frxstrem> What I really meant was to install Ubuntu Studio without Ubuntu installed, but from Windows
[17:59] <Maizcul> I read what he said and was just like ... WHUT -drool. I'm a noob >.<
[17:59] <Glenna> thank you meganox I will try
[18:00] <AndyB> mgolisch, It only has XP on NTFS, I have ubuntu installed on an external drive, but i cant bios boot from USB, so i need to install grub
[18:00] <meganox> Frxstrem: you can install ubuntu into windows using wubi from the desktop live cd, then follow the instructions to turn it into a studio installation
[18:00] <mgolisch> AndyB: i see, but be aware grub will only work if the external thing is connected
[18:00] <meganox> Frxstrem: I gather.  never used either myself
[18:01] <mgolisch> AndyB: and you will need to set it up manualy using the grub command
[18:01] <fbc> orochi_, yeah 8.04 was so rock solid and stable, I didn't expect the bugs either, but they were quickly taken care of over the next few weeks that it was just a temporary situation; at least for me.
[18:01] <Letter_Z> How do I install from a .run program in 8,04?
[18:01] <Frxstrem> well, thanks anyway...I'll try to find out myself (if it doesn't work, it doesn't work)
[18:01] <meganox> fbc, orochi_ : network-manager is the killer
[18:01] <meganox> Frxstrem: good luck
[18:01] <maximilian-schro> mgolisch, i now tried in the qtparted live cd. it says "could not stat /dev/hda1 / no such file or directory. the dive appertanlty does not exist, di dyou specify it correctly"
[18:02] <AndyB> mgolisch, Ah that is what i am trying to avoid, i had it setup but i needed the usb plugged in, so i reinstalled the mbr, do you know any way i can install grub from windows so i can boot ubuntu on usb?
[18:02] <setsanto> Hi, I tried to install Songbird on ubuntu 8.04.  I downloaded a .deb file for it since i wasn't sure how to handle the .xpi.  When I installed it through terminal, a whole host of errors showed up (many seemed to be related to my Dust theme).  Now it shows up as a menu item under applications, but doesn't work.  Also, the installer thinks that songbird is already installed, and apt-get remove Songbird has no effect.  Any advice?  All I reall
[18:02] <meganox> Frxstrem: see if you can find updated instructions
[18:02] <ChrisBookwood> mgolisch, I have just tried to reset everything with startupmanager - didn't work... I don't think the usplash theme is corrupted though, cause it shows usplash, where the thing goes from left to right and back again, but when it starts load, the usplash disappears and text i showed
[18:02] <orochi_> fbc: Ahh, that's good to hear...so for example (if you've experienced any of these bugs), is the automatic opening/closing of cd/dvd trays fixed now?
[18:02] <fbc> meganox, not for me it wasn't. I don't use static ips, and everything I use it for it works well.
[18:02] <nurettin> hello i have got problem. my problem is in tho toolbar my sound icom closed when linuxant modem drivers. apt-get removed but not happened plaese help. thank you.
[18:02] <konam> hi
[18:02] <ppires> hi there. i've installed openoffice.org 3 using this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive
[18:02] <fbc> orochi_, never had that bug.
[18:02] <ppires> somewhere in my updates this got removed
[18:03] <Maizcul> Anyone got any ideas how to get a laptop "Fn" key working?
[18:03] <maximilian-schro> dir
[18:03] <ppires> now i checked that i have the correct entries in my sources.list but I'm unable to install openoffice
[18:03] <fbc> Maizcul, You push it I think.
[18:03] <Letter_Z> I downloaded hplip-2.9.10.run so I can install drivers for my printer, how do I run it(I'm on 8.04)
[18:03] <Pici> ppires: Did you read the notice there on that link?
[18:03] <ppires> i can't even go to the preivous oofice
[18:03] <konam> i want to make the right ctrl key a shift key, i just broke my left shift (the one i'm used to use) and i want an alternative. i browsed the keyboard option in preferences but didn't find a way to customize the keyboard my way
[18:03] <rww> ppires: see the link you just posted ;)

[18:03] <nnull> anyway to send video through s-video to a tv/dvd player without creating a seperate x screen ?

[18:03] <almostdvs> all of a sudden nautilus is opening folders i double click in a new window.  i haven't changed any settings, what's going on?
[18:04] <Pici> ppires: You just said you did have problems.
[18:04] <ppires> now i don't have neither 3.0 neither 2.4.1 :(
[18:04] <orochi_> (i'm considering installing 8.10 again tonight because of the lag in security updates for lenny)
[18:04] <ppires> Pici: they were removed during my updates.
[18:04] <ppires> i was using it quite seamlessly. no issues ever found, like crashing or something

[18:05] <mgolisch> AndyB: you can load grub from windows bootloader like wubi does it
[18:05] <Maizcul> No need for such severe sarcasm. It doesn't work on more i'm guessing the technical side in that ubuntu doesn't see it being pressed, or sees it yet ignores it
[18:05] <konam> can someone help me with my keyboard layout
[18:05] <fbc> orochi_, the ATI driver bug I quickly found a fix for online. My hibernation problem I found a fix for online. And all the little nuances I was able to find fixes for online. The virtual box version for intrepid came only a week or so afterwards, so no problem.
[18:06] <ppires> basically it was removed without me knowing about it (perhaps i just ignored some info while updating. never saw it coming :(

[18:06] <AndyB> mgolisch, Do you know any tutorials that help me do this?
[18:06] <nnull> anyway to send video through s-video on gfx card to a tv/dvd player without creating a seperate x screen ?
[18:07] <Pici> ppires: does   apt-cache policy openoffice.org   say it is still installed?
[18:07] <gasto> how do I install Ubuntu in my hard disk by having all the hard disk with just one partition with Windows on it?
[18:07] <mgolisch> AndyB: yeah moment, had my mom on the phone
[18:07] <mgolisch> :)
[18:07] <ppires> Pici: Installed: (none)
[18:07] <AndyB> mgolisch, No hurry =]
[18:07] <fbc> nnull, yes vlc give you a default output screen option in the advanced settings...as long as you can get you s-video port to be recognized as a second screen.
[18:07] <almostdvs> all of a sudden nautilus is opening folders i double click in a new window.  i haven't changed any settings, what's going on?
[18:07] <erUSUL> gasto: the installer can shrink the windows partition to make room for ubuntu
[18:08] <Pici> shiMMer: You need to modify /etc/kismet/kismet.conf manually.
[18:08] <gasto> wow, that is cool
[18:08] <erUSUL> gasto: if there is enough free space on the drive
[18:08] <j2daosh> ok, im at wits end, ill add the freakin lines to my interfaces file to make my wireless work... what do i need to do?
[18:08] <mgolisch> ChrisBookwood: strange, never seen that
[18:08] <Pici> ppires: Anything in the version table below that?
[18:08] <erUSUL> gasto: defragment the windows partition before installing
[18:08] <nnull> fbc¬ i can but, whenever i enable my TV it breaks compiz/deco
[18:08] <gasto> eruUSUL, so I don't have to worry that the Ubuntu Live CD deletes my Windows/personal files, right?
[18:08] <ChrisBookwood> mgolisch, it's weird, yeah... Maybe i just have to live with it for now
[18:08] <Frxstrem> gasto: With Ubuntu 8.10, just put the CD/DVD in your drive, and you can install it manually from Windows with no need for an extra partition...
[18:08] <ppires> Pici: available 2.4.1. but when i try to install it, it complains about broken packages. even if i remove the PPA entries in source.list
[18:09] <Frxstrem> I did it some days ago...
[18:09] <shiMMer> pici::need to set my device?
[18:09] <Pici> shiMMer: yes.
[18:09] <shiMMer> i try
[18:09] <fbc> nnull, don't use compiz then. However I didn't have to disable compiz to do it with my nvidia 7600
[18:09] <rww> ppires: try installing it again, then copypaste the entire output you get to pastebin
[18:09] <rww> !pastebin | ppires
[18:09] <erUSUL> gasto: if you choose the right options there is no worries... but backups are envcouraged althought shrinking a ntfs partition is usually problem free there is no guaranties

[18:10] <erUSUL> !install
[18:10] <gasto> Frxstrem, how can you install it on the same logical unit? Windows is NTFS... Ubuntu ext3... I don't see how...
[18:10] <j2daosh> someone got a link to what exactly i have to add to my interfaces file to conntect to wep encrypted, wpa, and hidden SSID wirless networks?
[18:10] <Pici> shiMMer: Take a look at  zcat /usr/share/doc/kismet/README.gz | less   for further help
[18:10] <rww> ppires: also, make sure the ppa stuff is gone from sources.list and you did apt-get update before that.
[18:10] <dubsteppa> ahoy there
[18:10] <dubsteppa> short question 'bout the wlan0 / wmaster0 interfaces: any hints on how to change the mac address, so that the interfaces work correctly afterits ?
[18:10] <Frxstrem> Yes, you can
[18:11] <ppires> rww: http://pastebin.com/m6c50ff2f and yeah i removed those entries from the file and updated everything
[18:11] <fbc> nnull, my card had vga,svideo, and digital on the same card. the svideo was connected from the vga adapter, so whatever the vga adapter saw, the svideo outputted.

[18:12] <kbrooks> Why is virtual memory necessary in Linux woth 2 gb of RAM?
[18:12] <gasto> Frxstrem, how do I boot from Ubunto then?
[18:12] <orochi_> fbc: sorry for the delay...that doesn't sound too bad, when i first installed i found that the utility that changed over video drivers for my nvidia card was also pretty buggy but hopefully that's working better now
[18:12] <Frxstrem> It gives you the option to boot Windows or Ubuntu
[18:12] <MadChopr> why does ubuntu prefer bacula to amanda?
[18:12] <shiMMer> Pici::i already set it=source=lo,eth0,wmaster0,wlan0,pan0,IEEE 802.11bg
[18:12] <rww> ppires: hmm. Is the output of sudo aptitude install openoffice.org more verbose?
[18:12] <j2daosh> kbrooks: at this point, its more of a "just in case" situation
[18:13] <kbrooks> j2daosh, Example?
[18:13] <ppires> rww: nop mate, just what i shown you.
[18:13] <j2daosh> say your running CS3....
[18:13] <Maizcul> Any ideas on "fn" key on a laptop not working?
[18:13] <fantomas> !intrepid
[18:13] <j2daosh> CS3 uses massive amount of ram
[18:14] <Tundrayeti311> Maizcu: Wrong keyboard layout selected
[18:14] <orochi_> kbrooks: with a page file, if you run out of real physical memory then things don't simply die on you or fail to start, they can page to the disk and back to ensure that there's enough available RAM

[18:14] <Maizcul> Sony Vaio PCG-K195BP
[18:14] <Maizcul> nevermind the model, sony isn't even on the list >.<
[18:14] <rww> ppires: okay. Open Synaptic (System > Administration > Synaptic), click the "Status" button in the bottom-left, then click the "Installed (local or obsolete)" section. Anything related to openoffice.org in there?
[18:15] <Tundrayeti311> Maizcu: Is there a generic laptop keyboard, or you could try another brand...
[18:15] <ppires> rww: checking
[18:15] <Maizcul> I've been through about 20 so far -.-"
[18:15] <j2daosh> what do i have to add to my /etc/network/interfaces file to make my wireless work?
[18:15] <Tundrayeti311> Maizcu: ouch...
[18:16] <almostdvs> my nautilus behavior has changed drastically and i haven't done anything. has a recent update changed it? and how do i get it back
[18:16] <ppires> rww: yeah, openoffice 3.0
[18:16] <j2daosh> i added: auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[18:16] <j2daosh> but that doesn't get me going
[18:16] <HymnToLife> j2daosh: you must add the encryption information
[18:16] <ajassat> Hello .
[18:16] <Maizcul> I can't turn on scroll lock without using the Fn key either..
[18:16] <ajassat> I need some help.
[18:16] <ajassat> Is this the right channel?
[18:16] <ghaleb> hello, I have a problem playing my movies in totem and mplayer, the movie started any the sound is ok, but it's blinking !
[18:16] <recon69> j2daosh: well first i would check to see if you wireless card is supported by ubuntu
[18:17] <afief> ajassat, depends on which help you need:)
[18:17] <ajassat> Just installed Ubuntu (wubi).
[18:17] <j2daosh> it is recon69 i have used it before, but then i rebooted and it stopped working and hasn't worked since
[18:17] <rww> ppires: remove anything in there related to OO.org, then try installing again (you'll get 2.4). When the PPA comes back up, you could consider adding the PPA again and upgrading if you need 3.0.
[18:17] <j2daosh> where do i add the lines?
[18:17] <ajassat> I cannot change my resolution.
[18:17] <ajassat> Is there a graphical tool I can use to change it.
[18:17] <ajassat> I can only go upto 800x600
[18:17] <ppires> rww: the thing is that i've been using oo3.0 in windows and mac. all my current docs are under that format. i'm afraid i can lose my stuff :( anyway tks a lot for the help mate
[18:18] <almostdvs> ajassat: did you enable your graphics card drivers?
[18:18] <ajassat> Yes.
[18:18] <afief> ajassat, sorry I don't know much about wubi... under normal ubuntu it's under system->preferences->screen resolution
[18:18] <ajassat> Yeah.
[18:18] <rww> ppires: I would've thought that oo3.0 was backwards compatible with 2.4. That isn't the case?
[18:18] <ajassat> It's the same thing.
[18:18] <mgolisch> AndyB: http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Grub4dos_tutorial this might help
[18:18] <HymnToLife> j2daosh: as I said, you mst add at least the encryption information of your network. What are yo using?
[18:18] <ajassat> WUbi doesn't make any difference.
[18:18] <almostdvs> my nautilus behavior has changed drastically and i haven't done anything. has a recent update changed it? and how do i get it back
[18:18] <AndyB> mgolisch, Thanks =]
[18:19] <rww> almostdvs: what, specifically, has changed?
[18:19] <ajassat> In the Screen Res dialog, I only have the option to go upto 800x600
[18:19] <mgolisch> AndyB: but dont do any of the grubinst thing, all you need to do is find out how to configure that thing and boot it using the windows bootloader
[18:19] <ppires> rww: afaik no. and there is no msoffice2007 oxml support
[18:19] <j2daosh> im using networkmanager
[18:19] <ppires> rww: anyway, thanks dude
[18:19] <rww> ppires: you're welcome. Hopefully 3.0 will be back in the PPA soon...
[18:19] <AndyB> mgolisch, ok

[18:19] <j2daosh> and all it does when i ty to connect is enter the configuration stage and then goes back to disconnected
[18:19] <ppires> rww: let's hope so. i guess i'll wait and edit everything in my mac from the time being. once again thank you very much
[18:21] <Xepra> gah, why aren't md5 sums on the download page?
[18:21] <almostdvs> rww: when i double click a folder it opens in a new window. the location bar that used to be under the menu toolbar is gone but a button is on the bottom of the window does the same thing in a popout, which is w/el, but i personally don't like it.
[18:21] <Oxidize> Anyone know how to get file roller to support rar's ?
[18:21] <rww> !rar | Oxidize

[18:22] <MadChopr> i have a xeon processor, i'd like to get the 64bit version of ubuntu, but when i go to download ubuntu from the site, and i select 64bit server, it automatically assumes i have an AMD processor and sends me this image: ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso - is this also for the xeon processor?
[18:22] <stumpy> Where do ask for a bug fix to backported to the LTS version of ubuntu?
[18:22] <mgolisch> MadChopr: thats normal the architecture is named amd64
[18:22] <MadChopr> thank you mgolisch
[18:22] <mgolisch> MadChopr: thats the right thing to get
[18:23] <almostdvs> rww: the buttons for all back forward up and similar actions are gone
[18:23] <Maizcul1> surely theres something easier than going through every single combination of keyboard on the list :|
[18:24] <Maizcul1> ahh well
[18:24] <recon69> j2daosh: well, first thing to do is post the results of "-lspci -nn" and "ifconfig" to the paste bin and give a description of the problem, what you have done
[18:25] <rww> almostdvs: almostdvs: open a Nautilus window, go to Edit > Preferences > Behavior and check "Always Open in Browser Windows". If it's already checked, let me know and I'll think up something else.
[18:25] <IntuitiveNipple> "wmasterX" are the wireless 'control' interfaces
[18:25] <j2daosh> i cant paste it because i dont have internet....
[18:26] <almostdvs> rww: that changed like everything, ty very much.  i thot i tried that before, apparently not
[18:26] <j2daosh> im on a different machine right now and i have no flash drive to use to copy output back and forth
[18:26] <ghaleb> hello, I have a problem playing my movies in totem and mplayer, the movie started any the sound is ok, but it's blinking !
[18:26] <j2daosh> i can type in the lines once i get the laptop back up after the restart
[18:26] <mgolisch> ghaleb: blinking?
[18:27] <rww> almostdvs: glad I could help :)
[18:27] <ghaleb> mgolisch, yes , the screen shows the movies is blinking I know it's weird ;)
[18:27] <mgolisch> ghaleb: what type of movies is that? and do you use compiz? if you go to System-Preferences-Apearance and set desktop effects to none, is it still the same?
[18:28] <rww> almostdvs: as an aside, the Nautilus people tried to make non-browser mode ("spatial" mode) the default a while back. As you can imagine, there was an uproar about it ;)
[18:28] <ghaleb> yeah I enabled visual effects comes with intrepid
[18:28] <recon69> j2daosh: you can also try run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart", you machine might not be running your modified scripts. if you card is fully supported I would recommend using network manager instead of editing config files
[18:28] <nnull> guys in installed k9copy in ubuntu, it sucked, so i removed it.. but i noticed when i removed it, it didnt remove all the lib's and junk it downloaded with it upon install, how do i purge these KDE pieces of evil from my holy gnome system please?
[18:29] <Maizcul1> You need a holy hand grenande
[18:29] <muxx> lol
[18:29] <ArCHoNKoG> lol
[18:29] <rww> !puregnome | nnull
[18:29] <rww> huh, that changed since the last time I used it
[18:29] <ghaleb> mgolisch, I removed the effects and it stopped blinking
[18:29] <almostdvs> rww: i can see it being more logical for more basic users, like if i were to switch my grandma's computer to linux. but it isn't nearly as productive. I'm not sure where i fall on that argument
[18:29] <j2daosh> networking restart doesn't work, already tried that before the restart
[18:30] <fosco__> nnull, try gtkorphan to remove unneeded dependencies
[18:30] <j2daosh> i cant even get the laptop to shutdown now... its stuck on shutting down the ALSA
[18:30] <ghaleb> mgolisch, thank you, but does that mean I should stop it every timg I watch a movie ;)
[18:30] <anxiolytic> I just got a new monitor. For the past 10 years I've just been copying my xorg.conf over from install to install, and now I'm clueless on how to setup the monitor. Help? I want to set the res to 1920x1050
[18:30] <nnull> fosco__¬ ok cheers
[18:30] <recon69> ghaleb: have you installed the property drivers for your video card? if not could be a reason for flickering / stutters
[18:30] <muxx> shouldn't the library packages be auto removable in synaptic if no installed package needs them?
[18:30] <ajassat> I seriosly need help.
[18:30] <nnull> also i noticed handbrake isnt in the repo's ?
[18:31] <j2daosh> ok, im gonna grab some lunch, i will be back in about 15 minutes or so
[18:31] <zoopster> ajassat: don't we all
[18:31] <ajassat> Ubuntu only gives me a few options for screen resolution.
[18:31] <Wyg> Is there anyway I can download the installation files for Wubi separately or change the mirror? The default one seems to be going very slow for me.
[18:31] <rww> muxx: depends on how they were installed. if they weren't set autoinstalled, then no
[18:31] <ghaleb> recon69, the system installed it by itself
[18:31] <ajassat> How can I fix this?
[18:31] <rww> Wyg: download the right .iso manually and put it in the same folder as the Wubi exe
[18:31] <pastore> hi dudes; I need a help; explainin': I've Ubuntu 8.04 and I'm connected to wireless router with abilitate roaming in the wireless preference; the router has dhcp and there aren't problem. Well...I need to set a static ip now; then I proced so: disabled "roaming" and write SSID then set <IP_ADDRESS> as ip, <IP_ADDRESS> as broadcast and <IP_ADDRESS> as gateway; on the router disabled dhcp and set <IP_ADDRESS> as local address
[18:31] <Wyg> Ooh, that works?
[18:31] <ghaleb> recon69, so if that's the reason, maybe I should update the driver
[18:31] <anxiolytic> I just got a new monitor. For the past 10 years I've just been copying my xorg.conf over from install to install, and now I'm clueless on how to setup the monitor. Help? I want to set the res to 1920x1050
[18:31] <zoopster> ajassat: need to give more detail on your card/driver in use
[18:31] <shiMMer> ajassat::install using live or wubi??
[18:31] <Wyg> Thank you, that's pretty neat.
[18:31] <rww> Wyg: yeah, thankfully. download inside wubi takes forever for me, too

[18:33] <mgolisch> ghaleb: there might be something to fix that, or you just write a script which you execute instead of the mediaplayer, which switches back to metacity, launches the mediaplayer and on exit switches back
[18:33] <ajassat> ...no modifications to xorg.conf

[18:41] <UserC> sysdoc: i'm using xchat-gnome it's not exactly the same and the options are different
[18:41] <rww> Brandan: take it up with your network administrator. Looks like your school doesn't want you using irc on their network, and it /is/ their network after all =/

[18:41] <Brandan> My network adminsitator is accross town
[18:41] <Brandan> gotta go :)
[18:42] <maxb> almostdvs: Explain your doubt more concisely
[18:42] <nord_> how do I know if I have ndiswrapper alreay installed?
[18:42] <rww> almostdvs: all launchpad users (which includes Ubuntu devs and normal people) have access to the Personal Package Archive system. If they know how, they can upload packages to it which can be added to sources.list files and installed with apt-get
[18:42] <CaShMoNey> nord, type ndiswrapper in the console and see if you get the --help option
[18:42] <rww> almostdvs: if you have a specific question, go ahead and ask; odds are someone will know the answer
[18:42] <recon69> ghaleb: well, would say to leave visual effects off then.
[18:43] <henchie> Hi! I have a problem with my soundcard. It was doing just fine until yesterday. Now i cant hear anything. When I try to configure it in the sound preference menu i get the folowing message "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Kunde inte öppna ljudenheten för uppspelning" (the last phrase is swedish and means "Could not open sound unit for playback" Anyone have any idea?
[18:43] <nord_> CaShMoNey, thanx
[18:43] <ghaleb> recon69, I see .. unfortunately, it's a bit a mazing
[18:43] <Kulkarni> Hi All, vpn stopped working in my ubuntu from yesterday
[18:43] <ghaleb> recon69, okay, thank you very much
[18:44] <Kulkarni> when i run sudo vpnc myconf i get this error : "vpnc: xauth packet unsupported:  (ISAKMP_N_ATTRIBUTES_NOT_SUPPORTED)(13)"
[18:44] <nnull> anyone know where the option to output to tv in preferences is guys?
[18:44] <nnull> anyone know where the option to output to tv in preferences is guys? (in vlc)
[18:44] <CaShMoNey> Kulkarni: Did you by any chance recently update?
[18:45] <recon69> henchie: have you tried killing pulse audio in system monitor?
[18:45] <CaShMoNey> nnull: it's in the xorg.conf
[18:45] <nnull> CaShMoNey¬ nono i know how to do that, theres supposed to be something in vlc that can do it too apperntally
[18:45] <Kulkarni> CashMOney: ubuntu update? i guess not. I updated vpnc when it stopped working
[18:46] <CaShMoNey> Kulkarni: Make sure you've updated the encryption stuff too
[18:46] <shiMMer> i use 100% ubuntu but i still can see windows xp pro in boot list menu.how to remove it??
[18:46] <rww> shiMMer: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/sources.list and remove references to Windows near the bottom of the file, then run sudo update-grub
[18:47] <CaShMoNey> shiMMer: You can edit your /boot/grub/grub.conf
[18:47] <almostdvs> maxb: rww: i recently added a ppa (empathy/telepathy) and i usually just have to checkmark i want to go ahead and install without authentication. but this just wants to install like 75% of the unauthenticated packages. and it's apparent reasoning is that they are unauthenticated. shouldn't i be in control of this and i guess i'm confused about a little more, but can't describe it real well
[18:47] <Kulkarni> cashMoney: what all encryption stuff i shud be updating?
[18:47] <henchie> recon 69: Thank you! That worked! Just because I want to learn I have to ask, why did that help?
[18:47] <Flannel> rww, shiMMer, CaShMoNey: it's /boot/grub/menu.lst, and make sure it's outside (generally after) the ## END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNEL LIST (or before the begin)
[18:47] <CaShMoNey> well vpn usually have shtuff like ssl and what not. Maybe there's an update for those
[18:48] <recon69> shiMMer: but have a boot disk ready and make a backup in case you screw it up :)
[18:48] <rww> Flannel, shiMMer: Sorry, I get the two mixed up all the time O_O
[18:48] <CaShMoNey> Flannel: Sorry, my bad. LOL I'm so used to Gentoo with their grub.conf
[18:48] <shiMMer> that ok..
[18:49] <shiMMer> i try googling more
[18:49] <Maizcul1> Foiled again. access denied >.<
[18:49] <rww> almostdvs: I'm not sure what you mean. Try adding --allow-unauthenticated to the apt-get command (sudo apt-get --allow-unauthenticated install whatever). If that doesn't help, pastebin the entire output.
[18:49] <recon69> henchie: then ubuntu pulseaudio install in a bit buggy and it gets confused sometimes. killing the pulseaudio process forces it to restarst
[18:49] <Frxstrem> Doesn't Ubuntu Studio have an option to install inside Windows?
[18:49] <rww> Frxstrem: ask in #ubuntustudio

[18:53] <Kulkarni> CashMOney: thanks for non-stop response :) im trying to check my question on vpnc irc too.. but no one responding :(

[18:58] <dick-richardson> I added a cd drive to my system, but ubuntu doesn't see it
[18:58] <dick-richardson> do I need to add it to fstab or something?
[18:58] <almostdvs> Flannel: will i have to use that command instead of the regulare ugrade one whenever i want to upgrade?
[18:59] <Flannel> shiMMer: Go to your desktop, hit alt-f2, then in the box type gksu gedit /etc/kismet/kismet.conf
[18:59] <recon69> dick-richardson: I would check you cabling / jumpers are set correctly
[18:59] <dick-richardson> it's listed in the BIOS, and I can boot from it...
[18:59] <rww> Flannel: is there any difference between gksu and gksudo?
[18:59] <meganox> !deborphan | xenoterracide_
[18:59] <dick-richardson> how do I found out what /dev it is?
[18:59] <Flannel> rww: Not anymore, no
[19:00] <CaShMoNey> lol so the simple explination of sudo is security by obscurity
[19:00] <recon69> dick-richardson: have you tried putting a CD in it?
[19:00] <dick-richardson> yes
[19:00] <Flannel> almostdvs: "upgrade" will only make the versions of packages you have installed newer.  dist-upgrade will install new dependencies (of the same packages you already have).  What's apparently happeend is the PPA has added more depends.  You also need dist-upgrade to install new kernel versions (since linux-generic depends on linux-image-version1 and now it depends on linux-image-version2, a new package)
[19:00] <Flannel> CaShMoNey: That's not true.
[19:00] <dick-richardson> it's not displayed. the 2nd drive isn't listed in the fstab
[19:00] <quar> CaShMoNey: i think i have Intel GMA X4500MHD card
[19:00] <rww> CaShMoNey: no. And if you want to dicuss usage of sudo versus su, wander over to #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:00] <dick-richardson> when the cd is in the first drive, it is
[19:01] <CaShMoNey> quar: I believe all intel cards have the same xorg driver
[19:01] <xenoterracide_> ubottu: thanks
[19:01] <B3z3rk3r> lol
[19:01] <recon69> dick-richardson: and your checking in places->computer for the drive?
[19:01] <dick-richardson> yes...it's not listed
[19:01] <dick-richardson> nor is it in the fstab
[19:01] <CaShMoNey> Flannel: It is. It's also by what you know
[19:01] <quar> CaShMoNey: so what should i do ? also mine KDE works quite strange, and on minimizing/maximizing of findows i see bushes
[19:02] <dick-richardson> I could add it to the fstab if I knew how to tell what /dev it was
[19:02] <B3z3rk3r> anyone in here sucessfully running GTX280 with 8.10 ?
[19:02] <CaShMoNey> quar: that's because you don't have your video card driver mentioned in the xorg.conf
[19:02] <zanberdo> what is the standard gnome tool used to view images?
[19:02] <CaShMoNey> quar: I had somewhat of the same problem
[19:02] <rww> zanberdo: eog
[19:02] <zanberdo> coming from kubuntu, I tend to use gwenview and would like to use the gnome equivelant
[19:02] <CaShMoNey> quar: except mine is an nvidia card
[19:02] <zanberdo> rww: thanks
[19:02] <rww> zanberdo: (stands for Eye Of Gnome)
[19:02] <MHz128> hello world!
[19:02] <afief> dick-richardson, you could try mounting your /dev/sd[abcde][1234565789] and seeing which one you need
[19:03] <Flannel> CaShMoNey: No, it's not.  But as rww said, this is somewhat offtopic, and I'd be happy to continue discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:03] <Kulkarni> can i upgrade required packages only for vpnc?
[19:03] <dick-richardson> there's no way to tell what /dev a drive is mapped to without trying all possible combinations in hopes that you stumble across the right one?
[19:03] <MHz128> After installing an app using apt-get, is the package file(s) stored somewhere on the hd?  I have used apt-get to install something, even when I didn't have an internet connection....
[19:03] <quar> CaShMoNey: so how to put mine video card to xorg.conf ?
[19:04] <Flannel> Kulkarni: sudo apt-get install vpnc
[19:04] <Flannel> MHz128: /var/cache/apt/archives/ is where they go, but you can also install stuff through straight deb files, etc.
[19:04] <Kulkarni> Flannel: i have installed it.. and everything working fine, today im getting this error : " xauth packet unsupported"
[19:04] <Flannel> MHz128: If you're looking to transfer those packages elsewhere via sneakernet, you might be interested in AptOnCD
[19:04] <Flannel> !aptoncd | MHz128
[19:05] <MHz128> Flannel,  they are stored there until I remove them "completely" from the system?
[19:05] <MHz128> coool!
[19:05] <zanberdo> rww: how about for pdf? I used to use kpdf.
[19:05] <rww> MHz128: either that or something issues sudo apt-get clean
[19:05] <rww> zanberdo: evince
[19:06] <Ian_Corne> where do i report when a package that's recommended has no installation candidate ?
[19:06] <zanberdo> rww: thanks
[19:06] <Flannel> MHz128: Um, depeding on preferences, they may be automatically cleaned once those versions are taken out of the repositories (versionA is removed when versionB is in the repos, etc).  And apt-get autoclean can do this manually, apt-get clean will remove all of them
[19:06] <Flannel> !bugs | Ian_Corne
[19:06] <CaShMoNey> quar: give me a couple minutes
[19:06] <CaShMoNey> I'm google'ing it for you
[19:06] <MHz128> Flannel, thanks!
[19:06] <Flannel> Kulkarni: I don't know.  It could be a recommended package instead of a dependency, or it might just be that it doesn't support it.
[19:06] <quar> CaShMoNey: ofc.
[19:06] <recon69> quar: have you looked in System->Admin->Hardware
[19:07] <zanberdo> rww: sorry, one more (for now): gui ftp replacement for kfptgrabber
[19:07] <Ian_Corne> well it's so much a bug is it?
[19:07] <quar> recon69: im using kubuntu , dont have system->admin->hardware in menu
[19:07] <Ian_Corne> i know about launchpad ofcource :p
[19:07] <CaShMoNey> quar: what's ofc?
[19:07] <bor1> (hardy -> intrepid upgrade) When running 'apt-get dist-upgrade -s' (hardy -> intrepid), I get the error "E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libsasl2-2". The update-manager graphical tool doesn't work either, possibly for the same reason. apt-get install libsasl2-2 fails with the same error. Ideas?
[19:07] <recon69> quar: haa, ok
[19:07] <rww> zanberdo: what's it do?
[19:07] <quar> CaShMoNey: ofcause :)
[19:07] <quar> CaShMoNey: ofcourse ;) :)
[19:08] <CaShMoNey> quar: alright I think I found a link that will help you
[19:08] <CaShMoNey> http://www.claudiocamacho.org/tech/sr11m_debian.php#graphics
[19:08] <zanberdo> rww: a pretty simple ftp utility. manages one to many files. nice gui. reduces to a tray icon, that sort of thing.
[19:08] <quar> im checking/reading
[19:09] <rww> zanberdo: Places > Connect to Server or gwget, depending on what exactly you want
[19:09] <zanberdo> rww: I will check it out
[19:09] <m4rc0> hey you guys... I use ubuntu 8.10. I like to install an gui-less system... where and what do I need to do to change boot options?
[19:10] <CaShMoNey> m4rc0: Try the server edition
[19:10] <m4rc0> ok
[19:10] <m4rc0> not the standard then
[19:10] <CaShMoNey> no..
[19:10] <m4rc0> thanks
[19:10] <MHz128> Alt-F2 is able to figure out which program to open based on file type. ie. /use/share/icons/test.png  can this be done via command line somehow?
[19:10] <Pici> m4rc0: You can tell the gdm not to start when you boot your system.
[19:10] <Wyg> Alright, just installed Ubuntu via Wubi. Is there a way I can (in Windows) restart and 'force' Ubuntu to boot?
[19:10] <Wyg> Not like, by default.
[19:10] <zanberdo> rww: how about remote desktop connection such as to a windows box? I was using krdc
[19:11] <rww> zanberdo: tsclient
[19:11] <zanberdo> rww thanks!
[19:11] <CaShMoNey> zanberdo: I've been fond of vnc
[19:11] <Flannel> Wyg: You want it to be set as default permanently?
[19:11] <Wyg> No, just as a one-off.
[19:12] <rww> CaShMoNey: vnc and windows rdc are different, i think
[19:12] <CaShMoNey> rww: I see
[19:12] <Fc> 嗯
[19:12] <Flannel> Wyg: That's done by boot.ini, I... don't think you can change that "just for one" boot.  But you could set it as default, and then change it back later?
[19:12] <CaShMoNey> Flannel: it depends on if it's xp or vista
[19:13] <CaShMoNey> rww: it does depend on if it's xp or vista. Which is it?
[19:13] <mohbana> hello, is anyone running javafx
[19:13] <Wyg> It's XP.
[19:14] <JonathanEllis> Hi. I want to install a new release of Ubuntu. I have a dedicated home partition. I plan on doing a clean install rather than an upgrade. Can I simply point the new install at my home partition and will it pick up my settings in my various applications and accounts in pidgin for example?
[19:14] <Wyg> Basically I've set the timeout to 0 so it boots into XP 'automatically,' a 'silent' install as it were.
[19:14] <rampageoberon> hi, in firefox when i go to print and then under PDF the print button is greyed out, why is this? what can i do t fix it?
[19:14] <Wyg> Is there at least some way to force the boot loader to appear on startup?
[19:14] <mphill> JonathanEllis: for the most part
[19:14] <Flannel> JonathanEllis: Yep.  You'll point it to use the home partition as /home, and not format it
[19:14] <Flannel> Wyg: Yeah, msconfig, and then change the timeout
[19:14] <JonathanEllis> !firefox > rampageoberon
[19:14] <usser> JonathanEllis, yes that will work. although system-wide settings in /etc will be lost
[19:15] <B3z3rk3r> JonathanEllis: yeah, but only to a certain extent iv found. Remember.. backup!!!!
[19:15] <Flannel> Wyg: There's a boot.ini tab, where you can change the timeout
[19:15] <rww> CaShMoNey: What?
[19:15] <CaShMoNey> rww: are you trying to connect to a vista or xp machine via remote desktop
[19:15] <afief> JonathanEllis, don't take my word for it, but I was once burned by a fedora install that messed up when I did the same thing, so personally I install the normal stuff then manually edit fstab to mount my /home
[19:15] <rww> CaShMoNey: You have the wrong person ;)
[19:15] <quar> CaShMoNey: i dont understand exactly from that link what shoud i do..
[19:16] <phoenixz>  I just changed the /etc/security/limits file, how can I apply these values without rebooting the computer?
[19:16] <CaShMoNey> rww: Ahh my bad so many people with q's
[19:16] <rampageoberon> JonathanEllis: umm, not sure that answers/fixes the specific problem. This is only a problem on the desktop, whereas on hte laptop its fine
[19:16] <JonathanEllis> rampageoberon: Do you have the pdf print driver installed?
[19:16] <JonathanEllis> !firefox
[19:16] <mphill> phoenixz: should just start to work
[19:16] <Eypr> hey
[19:16] <CaShMoNey> quar: What you need to do, is edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, and make the adjustments to it as described in that link that I had sent you
[19:17] <rampageoberon> JonathanEllis: yes they are installed and it was working earlier
[19:17] <phoenixz> mphill: so changing the file and saving it will automaticaly apply these variables?
[19:17] <Eypr> can eny one help me setup my xorg.conf for 1080P?
[19:17] <JonathanEllis> rampageoberon: Sorry. I was intending to point you in the direction of #firefox to ask your question if noone here can help you.
[19:17] <mphill> phoenixz: yes
[19:17] <phoenixz> mphill: thanks!
[19:17] <aboSamoor> can I use live cd with a machine with 160 MB ?
[19:17] <mphill> phoenixz: lemme check something
[19:17] <m4rc0> CaShMoNey: about the server-edition. I really like a minimal install
[19:17] <phoenixz> mphill: sure
[19:17] <rampageoberon> JonathanEllis: thanks :)
[19:17] <CaShMoNey> m4rc0: You can, You have a choice on what to install
[19:17] <quar> CaShMoNey: so can i copy/paste that xorg.conf from link ?
[19:18] <m4rc0> CaShMoNey: thanks
[19:18] <mphill> phoenixz: it might be that they need to relogin, but you don't have to reboot.  It's Linux... :)
[19:18] <rww> !requirements | aboSamoor
[19:18] <CaShMoNey> quar, I would suggest editing your xorg.conf to match it. Make sure you don't have more than one of the same type of "SubSection"
[19:19] <Chun> Hi - how can I change which network adapter is used, on the fly?
[19:19] <phoenixz> mphill: ofcourse there is no reboot necesary :) I klnow that much, but sometimes it requieres a service restart or something like that.. but a relogin is okay, perfect!
[19:19] <UserC> anyone know how do i set xchat to automaticaly use a color code?
[19:19] <phoenixz> mphill: just.. for running processes, the process needs to be restarted, not?
[19:20] <aboSamoor> how can I check the checksum of a image of ubuntu ?
[19:20] <hwilde> Hello.  How can I downgrade to Firefox 2.0 ?

[19:21] <mphill> aboSamoor: md5sum image.iso
[19:21] <UserC_> anyone know how do i set xchat to automaticaly use a color code?
[19:21] <UserC_> anyone know how do i set xchat to automaticaly use a color code?
[19:22] <CaShMoNey> UserC_: Maybe check it out in preference
[19:22] <rww> !repeat | UserC_

[19:23] <UserC_> CaShMoNey: yeah that didn't help much
[19:23] <hwilde> Hello.  How can I downgrade to Firefox 2.0 ?
[19:23] <mphill> Chun: it has something to do with you routing. I am not sure, that is a good question.
[19:23] <B3z3rk3r> hwilde: why would you want to do that?

[19:25] <CaShMoNey> Svish: which text were you talking about?
[19:25] <rww> horst: do you have an actual question, or was that spam?
[19:25] <B3z3rk3r> hwilde: or are you specfically trying to downgrade your current install?
[19:26] <B3z3rk3r> hwilde: if the latter is the case, you may want to direct that question to the FF dev team

[19:26] <jeaton> i somehow selected swfdec for a flashplayer in mozilla firefox, how do i change it to something else?
[19:26] <mphill> Chun: ip route add default via NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN <- use the ip of the interface youw want to use for internet
[19:26] <Pici> hwilde: install the firefox2 package
[19:26] <Svish> CaShMoNey: I joined the channel, and suddenly I was flooded with a whole bunch of text
[19:26] <JonathanEllis> rampageoberon: You might want to check you have the package cups-pdf installed and that you have a pdf printer installed. Or is there a PDF generator built in to Firefox? See http://lifehacker.com/software/how-to/print-to-pdf-in-ubuntu-264305.php
[19:26] <Pici> Svish: Like the names of the people in the channel?

After this i tried going back into vista and it wont boot and gives me the following error: File: \Boot\BCD  Status: 0x0000000f, what can i do to ix it
[19:26] <jeaton> thanks
[19:27] <B3z3rk3r> hwilde: the easiest way would be to simply install the FF2 package
[19:27] <Pici> hwilde: You cannot run both versions of firefox at the same time, so you'll need to close 3 if you want to run 2.
[19:27] <rww> jeaton: assuming you want the non-free flash plugin, you'd then do sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

[19:30] <JonathanEllis> Ayabara: You may need to unmount it before ejecting it though
[19:31] <CaShMoNey> ardchoille: or you can use the mountpoint to eject

[19:39] <albatros> hi I have a problem... gdm said a few minutes ago in .xsessionserrors "mkdtemp: private socket dir: Too many links" i googled it and the solution was to rm -r /tmp ...but it was a mistake i guess because now gdm won't start because it needs a legitimationfile to write in... can anyone help me? please
[19:39] <FM2n> maicul: sometimes you need to download the vaio's utility driver in order for the FN keys to work propertly
[19:39] <apo> CaShMoNey: minimalistic tiling window manager. http://www.suckless.org/dwm/
[19:40] <FM2n> it's shitty, but some brands do that
[19:40] <Maizcul> i found something on a couple of forums relating to sony_acpi but everything i've tried so far i end up at a barrier along the way with still nonfunctioning fn keys.
[19:40] <Pici> Maizcul: The function key isn't a real meta key, you will only be able to use it with the keys that your laptop has function alternates for.
[19:40] <ravalox> I'm a new Kubuntu user and am wondering what you use for bluetooth connectivity in KDE?
[19:40] <mphill> mortuis99: can you type dmesg | tail -n 5 and paste the result in a private window?
[19:40] <CaShMoNey> apo. it's just a window manager
[19:40] <usser> albatros, sudo mkdir /tmp

[19:40] <fosco__> ravalox, try /j #kubuntu
[19:40] <apo> CaShMoNey: So? Unity still doesn't work with it. =P
[19:40] <usser> TheoPast, depends on your wireless card
[19:41] <TheoPast> usser: how can i find out
[19:41] <j2daosh> it wont repair in recovery mode, it says the system is busy and wont let me doa sys file check
[19:41] <hml> OT: I need to take a pdf, and remove these 2inch margins on the pdf. I'm using pdfcrop, it's slow as heck. What channel shoudl I be asking in? What man page should I be reading?
[19:41] <albatros> i have typed sudo mkdir /tmp and sudo chmod 777 /tmp ... but it has not helped
[19:41] <CaShMoNey> apo, did you try opening a console and looking at the verbos?
[19:41] <usser> TheoPast, pastebin the output of lspci command
[19:41] <usser> !pastebin | TheoPast
[19:42] <mortuis99> mphill done
[19:42] <CaShMoNey> albatros:  did you try  "chmod 0666" ?
[19:42] <apo> CaShMoNey: It doesn't crash. And Windows is still running in the VM. But I don't get any unity
[19:42] <CaShMoNey> unity?
[19:42] <apo> CaShMoNey: seamless integration of Windows windows
[19:42] <albatros> no i haven't but i will try now thx CaShMoNey
[19:43] <Maizcul> Pici: My laptop shows on F4 in blue a volume slider and a +, basically in XP i just held the FN key, pressed F4 and the volume increased. Still trying to get it to do that in ubuntu >.<
[19:43] <CaShMoNey> apo: nothing is seamless when you refer to windows
[19:43] <recon69> j2daosh: I would guess you botched something when editing you networking files. and the hard reboot was not the problem.
[19:43] <D3RGPS31> how do i stop X without gdm/kdm/xdm
[19:44] <mphill> mortuis99: unplug it and plug it in again, then run that command and paste the result

[19:46] <bob_> I am trying to install a new hard drive. I think I finally got it partitioned and formated but when I click on it in "Places" it says I'm not priviledged to mount it. Any ideas?
[19:46] <j2daosh> ok enough of this im going back to windows, yall have fun

[19:47] <usser> TheoPast, but you sure you have a wifi card?
[19:48] <CaShMoNey> TheoPast: What does lscpi say?
[19:48] <CaShMoNey> TheoPast: If it says anything about a wifi card, then you have it, just need the module inserted
[19:48] <TheoPast> CaShMoNey: scroll up and click my link
[19:48] <usser> CaShMoNey, http://paste.ubuntu.com/80987/
[19:48] <recon69> TheoPast: and if it's a laptop you may need to turn it on by pressing a button
[19:49] <TheoPast> usser: i just have a belkin wireless router
[19:49] <mgolisch> no theres no wlan card like it seems
[19:49] <Maizcul> back
[19:49] <usser> TheoPast, ah. router is something else, you'll also need a card to access that router
[19:50] <TheoPast> usser: i have a network card in my desktop i put it in
[19:50] <recon69> TheoPast: you using a laptop or a desktop?
[19:50] <CaShMoNey> TheoPast: Hmm it doesn't physically see it. Is it a laptop?
[19:50] <TheoPast> CaSHMoNey: desktop
[19:50] <zanberdo> yikes!  I accidentally removed my application menus (applications, places, etc) with one fell swoop!  How can I return them (easily)?
[19:50] <CaShMoNey> TheoPast: and which wireless adapter do you have?
[19:51] <fosco__> zanberdo, right clic the panel and choose Add to panel
[19:51] <fosco__> then search for the gnome menu
[19:51] <mortuis99> mphill i put ANOTHER drive and repluged it in and it came right up
[19:51] <rww> zanberdo: right click a blank spot on your panel, Add to Panel, and chose Menu Bar
[19:51] <mortuis99> i think i have a bad USB cable
[19:51] <rww> zanberdo: (Main Menu just puts one icon with everything in it on your panel, Menu Bar is the thing you used to have)

[19:53] <CaShMoNey> albatros: won't be viewable? You mean, you haven't tried?
[19:53] <albatros> i have tried it
[19:53] <albatros> but i cant login...
[19:54] <afief> albatros, why not 777?:S tmp should be accessible for everyone
[19:54] <zanberdo> thank you, thank you, and thank you!
[19:54] <mphill> mortuis99: what is the file system of the drive that is not working?
[19:54] <nnull> when i have 2 seperate x screens, one respsonds slower then the other, which is ok, but i need them reversed so the one thats NOT absoulte is the slow reacting one, any help?
[19:54] <albatros> i did  777 than the login screen is fully functional
[19:54] <mphill> mortuis99: what is the file system of the drive that is working?
[19:54] <nenico> hello, i need some help whith seting DMA, i have tried almost everyhing, what i found... but no succes :(
[19:54] <TheoPast> CaShMoNey: my bad thats the actual router i don't remember the inside the comp
[19:54] <zanberdo> edit menu and remove from menu are too damn close to one another! :)
[19:54] <CaShMoNey> TheoPast: Ya, I'd open it up and look on the card itself
[19:55] <mortuis99> mphill nothing atm i just deleted the partitions and am going to reformat it.  What do u recommend i use?
[19:55] <afief> nnull, you might wanna try asking at #xorg because it's a very technical question... most of us only have one x screen
[19:55] <nnull> afief¬ ok thx
[19:55] <TheoPast> CaShMoNey: i am
[19:55] <Maizcul> wtb fixed fn keys >.<
[19:55] <mphill> mortuis99: thats why its not working.  Are you going to use this only under linux? or windows as well?
[19:55] <afief> nnull, sorry I wasn't more helpful
[19:55] <mortuis99> just linux
[19:55] <nnull> afief¬ more helpful then anyone else hehe :)
[19:56] <mortuis99> mphill just linux
[19:56] <afief> nnull, hehe:D guess that's a bonus
[19:56] <mphill> mortuis99: type sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc <- based on what you posted it is sdc but VERIFY IT. then unplug and plug back in
[19:56] <zanberdo> ok, how can I set the dimentions for my gnome-terminal?  I've managed to set the font-size, but I'd like to set the width/height as well
[19:57] <Stooge> is is possible to write  a  script that will delete all files in the system?
[19:57] <Xepra> hrm, I can't get xen running on intrepid :/
[19:57] <usser> Stooge, yea sure
[19:57] <zanberdo> Stooge: yes
[19:57] <AndyB> anyone any advice on setting up grub from xp. i have xp on internal and ubuntu on external but cant boot into usb without grub
[19:57] <CaShMoNey> stooge, why do you want to do that?
[19:57] <zanberdo> Stooge:
[19:57] <zanberdo> Stooge: but it would be bad
[19:58] <Stooge> why not :)
[19:58] <CaShMoNey> AndyB: I think you can go to "run" then type msconfig and edit the boot config
[19:58] <zanberdo> Stooge: if you are looking to wipe your drive, you'd do better to simple use dd and /dev/zero
[19:58] <afief> mphill, don't you have to partition that drive first? aka /dev/sdc1?
[19:58] <albatros> but still gdm wont work without a file to write in... what file does gdm need to survive or in my case be reborn? and it has to be in tmp...
[19:58] <Stooge> dd = double damage?
[19:58] <zanberdo> Stooge: man dd
[19:58] <Stooge> what is dd?
[19:58] <AndyB> CaShMoNey, Excellent, but could you tell me what i should change the boot config to? Im new when it comes to boot settings
[19:58] <mortuis99> mphill check PM
[19:58] <l7> duplicate diskk i think
[19:58] <zanberdo> Stooge: it's a bit-copies
[19:58] <CaShMoNey> Stooge: It'll make your inodes & vnodes zero'd out
[19:59] <zanberdo> dd - convert and copy a file
[19:59] <Stooge> ok thanks
[19:59] <Maizcul> !dd
[19:59] <rww> Stooge: the name's explained at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)
[19:59] <Stooge> i cant understand a word of what you say so i stop asking :D
[19:59] <mphill> afief: You can, but if its just storage, i don't, sometimes i do
[19:59] <afief> mphill, wow never knew that:D thanks
[19:59] <Maizcul> I know how you feel, a fair amount of this is right over my head too xD
[19:59] <CaShMoNey> Stooge: Inodes and vnodes are descriptors pointing to file allocation
[20:00] <reportin1sjr> how do I clear out swap ram and any corrupt ram? (I'm using about 600mb of ram all together when it should be about 60-70mb)
[20:00] <zanberdo> Stooge: man refers to the use of man pages (manual) that you can call for nearly any 'ix command
[20:00] <zanberdo> so, if you are told something about a command like 'dd' you can type 'man dd' at the cli (command line interface) to get more information about it
[20:00] <Stooge> yes -rd rf *.*
[20:00] <mphill> afief: I think mkfs even asks you if you are sure you want to use the whole disk instead of the partition(s)
[20:01] <afief> mphill, I wonder if I can mkfs a file... I mean everything is a file right?
[20:01] <zanberdo> Stooge: it would have to be more like: sudo rm -rf /.
[20:01] <Eypr> ? eny one how can help me with xorg.conf grafik?
[20:01] <CaShMoNey> mphill: I don't think so. it asks if you're sure if you want to continue
[20:01] <zanberdo> Stooge: but again, I wouldn't recommend it
[20:01] <CaShMoNey> cause data will be lost
[20:01] <CaShMoNey> Eypr: What video card do you have?
[20:01] <Stooge> yes what is the point to delete your all files if you dont loose your data?
[20:01] <Stooge> :D
[20:01] <Eypr> 9600GT
[20:02] <CaShMoNey> Eypr: I can help
[20:02] <Sareth> I'm getting an error "cryptsetup invalid entry in crypttab - " when I run 'update-initramfs -u -k all' after I added a disk to crypttab. I also changed all the [target]s to UUID. Does anyone have experiance with this?
[20:02] <temppy> is there any hotel/community center management software for ubuntu?
[20:02] <CaShMoNey> Eypr: What's wrong? Just want to get it working smoothly?
[20:02] <zanberdo> Stooge: the point is that you'd do better to wipe the disk than to arbitrarily delete files.
[20:02] <Eypr> damm do you now a god place to go look for to get it running ?
[20:02] <zanberdo> Stooge: but I guess it depends upon your goal
[20:03] <TheoPast> CaShMoNey: not sure of the type still, the comp is a hp pavilion a710e, i looked it up and didn't find much
[20:03] <reportin1sjr> how do I clear out swap ram and any corrupt ram?
[20:03] <Sareth> reportin1sjr, get a new memory stick
[20:03] <reportin1sjr> Sareth: what?
[20:03] <nnull> i liek tortles
[20:04] <fletch1> This is gonna sound really stupid, but I just installed Ubuntu, and logging into this chat is about the most advanced thing I've done. Where should I go for tutorials to learn?
[20:04] <temppy> reportin1sjr: corrupt ram is a term which describes a hardware problem only solvable by buying new memory
[20:04] <afief> fletch1, what do you want to learn?:D
[20:04] <Sareth> reportinsjr, Corrupt ram means you probably have a bad memory stick. run memtest86 to find out
[20:04] <reportin1sjr> temppy: oh, I mean like from memory leaks.
[20:04] <AndyB> CaShMoNey, Excellent, but could you tell me what i should change the boot config to? Im new when it comes to boot settings
[20:04] <fletch1> everything lol
[20:04] <reportin1sjr> corrupted pointers, whatever..
[20:04] <fletch1> I'm a computer engineer so I'm open to learn but this is completely different
[20:04] <bahadunn> in the network connections box in perferences there is a VPN section but there is no way to add it or anything
[20:04] <afief> fletch1, I just learned how to have ubuntu do all my file management for me, using remote repositories and versioned file systems:D this kind of stuff?
[20:05] <kansan> is there a good way of doing a diff?  thats easy to understand?  i used diff.. but i dont really understand whats going on?
[20:05] <bahadunn> is there something extra I need to make it available?
[20:05] <reportingsjr> temppy: there is a command for it, I just can't remember it
[20:05] <temppy> reportin1sjr: kill the program that is leaking memory.  The OS will, then clean it up
[20:05] <ardchoille> fletch1: start with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UserDocumentation
[20:05] <afief> fletch1, sweet:D I'm studying to become an engineer
[20:05] <fletch1> thanks, yeah I don't really know the linux commands for terminal and stuff like that
[20:05] <reportingsjr> temppy: well, currently I'm using about 600mb of ram apparently, but adding up all of the ram any processes are using brings it to maybe 100mb
[20:05] <fletch1> yeah computer engineering?
[20:05] <ardchoille> !terminal | fletch1 this will help with commands
[20:05] <fletch1> ardchoille, thanks
[20:06] <ardchoille> yw
[20:06] <afief> fletch1, yeah computer engineer
[20:06] <TheoPast> CaShMoNey: is there something under System i can goto to put a password on my network

[20:06] <mortuis99> mphill thank you for your help and patience
[20:06] <ardchoille> !thanks | fletch1
[20:06] <CaShMoNey> TheoPast: a password? It really depends on the protocol
[20:06] <afief> fletch1, first tutorial: on irc when you talk to someone put his name in front of the sentence:) it helps people understand each other
[20:07] <paul68> how do I install the ubuntu restricted packages again ?
[20:07] <fletch1> afief, thanks lol
[20:07] <Maizcul> Oh but I like to confuse people
[20:07] <rww> paul68: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:07] <rww> paul68: replace ubuntu with kubuntu or xubuntu if you're using them
[20:07] <Sareth> Is there a channel on freenode for linux encryption
[20:07] <TheoPast> CaShMoNey: i just don't want my neighbors using my net
[20:07] <dimedo> hi, where can i configure which window manager gets started with my session?
[20:07] <mphill> mortuis99: no problem, glad to help
[20:08] <w3rd_> hey guys im trying to setup hybrid ircd on ubuntu 8.0.4 is there a good doc or url that anyone has on how to configure the conf?
[20:08] <fletch1> thanks guys, I'm gonna bookmark all this stuff and and check it out
[20:08] <paul68> rww: thanks I forgot the extra part lol
[20:08] <CaShMoNey> TheoPast: You can try Mac filtering on your router
[20:08] <mphill> dimedo: at the login screen, you can select it
[20:08] <wysiwyg> __
[20:08] <CaShMoNey> but that really isn't an Ubuntu question
[20:08] <rww> dimedo: at the login screen, go to the Action button and hit Session. It should let you select it and make it default
[20:08] <mphill> its called the 'session'
[20:08] <temppy> reportingsjr: well, you can do this, but I don't think there is much of a point: sudo tee 3 | /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
[20:08] <dimedo> rww, mphill: thanks
[20:08] <afief> fletch1, seriously just think about a common task you do and think "okay let's check out a tutorial on how to do this in shell"
[20:08] <TheoPast> CaShMoNey: you care to help me try that ive never done it before
[20:09] <cxo> Can you apt-get openoffice-3.0 on 8.04?
[20:09] <temppy> reportingsjr: hmm, I don;t think thats correct, one sec
[20:09] <afief> fletch1, here's a mini tutorial for you: if you have an operation you want to do on MANY files you can do it this way: for file in *; do echo "do some operation on $file"; done
[20:09] <recon69> TheoPast: if you want to secure your network you need to set that up in you router, open firefox and put <IP_ADDRESS> in as the address to get you routers setup page. be careful as when you secure your router as you will lose you connection until you setup the password on you computer to match.
[20:10] <CaShMoNey> TheoPast: Okay. Umm private message me
[20:10] <rww> cxo: It's not in the official repositories for hardy /or/ intrepid yet. There was a PPA for it, but that PPA is currently down. Long story short, no.
[20:10] <fletch1> afief, yeah that's what I've been doing so far, trying to get more advanced now...you say shell?
[20:10] <afief> fletch1, the thing I just gave you is in the shell
[20:10] <fletch1> afief, ok thanks, I'm out guys
[20:11] <cxo> rww, will it ever make the repos? or will it only be in 9.xx?
[20:11] <rww> cxo: it'll be in intrepid-backports. Not sure about hardy-backports. It'll definitely be in jaunty.
[20:11] <BinaryDragon> Hello everyone

[20:13] <AndyB> Could anyone offer advice for setting up grub on internal drive from xp? So i can boot ubuntu from usb?
[20:13] <temppy> reportingsjr: echo 3 > sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
[20:13] <LjL> AndyB: i don't think you can set up GRUB from inside Windows...
[20:14] <mgolisch> grub4dos
[20:14] <mgolisch> thats what wubi uses
[20:14] <mgolisch> and i showed you the link didnt i?
[20:14] <AndyB> LjL, Do you know any other way i could boot ubuntu? my bios doesnt support boot from USB, but i had it working with grub but then i had to wipe it to fixmbr when windows broke
[20:14] <holst> is python included in all ubuntu installations?
[20:14] <holst> even the minimal ones?
[20:14] <mgolisch> download it put it on your c:\ root add it to the boot.ini create the menu.lst voila!
[20:15] <holst> "No, it just left"
[20:15] <BinaryDragon> yes holt
[20:15] <LjL> AndyB: can't you use a live CD?
[20:15] <BinaryDragon> yes holst
[20:15] <holst> cool. then I will replace my old perl scripts
[20:15] <AndyB> LjL, I tried using live cd and running the "grub-install" command but it says it cant find /boot
[20:15] <BinaryDragon> holst, what are you trying to do,perl got nothing to do with python
[20:15] <chupy> hi, i need help my webcam before i compile a driver works fine but now not how do i uninstall that driver i compile it but sudo make uninstall dont work... what can i do?
[20:16] <BinaryDragon> AndyB
[20:16] <holst> BinaryDragon: python is somewhat simpler than perl to write error-free code with, for me
[20:16] <BinaryDragon> whats the problem with your grub?
[20:16] <LjL> AndyB: well, the problem is that as far as i know, GRUB needs, indeed, to have /boot in some partition. i'm not sure it can be in a FAT/NTFS partition.
[20:16] <Maizcul> I dislike my college, they force VB6 upon you.
[20:16] <dwhsix1> am I right in thinking that "aptitude -q update" and "apt-get update" have the same effect?
[20:16] <mgolisch> AndyB: you cant do that if you dont have a deciacted partition for grub
[20:16] <mgolisch> AndyB: use grub4dos
[20:17] <BinaryDragon> sorry holst, i thought you was trying to run perl scripts with python
[20:17] <AndyB> BinaryDragon, I had to remove grub, as it wouldnt boot windows, so i ran fixboot fixmbr from xp recovery. But then i had no grub to boot into ubuntu
[20:17] <AndyB> mgolisch, Ill read up on it now thanks
[20:17] <temppy> is there any hotel/community center management software for ubuntu?
[20:17] <LjL> AndyB, but when you *had* GRUB, did you also have an Ubuntu partition on your boot drive?
[20:18] <AndyB> LjL no i only had ubuntu on my external drive, no partition on internal
[20:18] <erik_> hey, whats the terminal command to edit the "role" of the server?
[20:18] <Guest69416> where you can install all tools/libs to compile a source package for instance
[20:18] <BinaryDragon> AndyB, look in google for a grub disk that will let you boot in to ubuntu and even replace the windows mbr, once you do that you can go a modif the grub.cong file to add xp to the grub menu at boot up
[20:18] <LjL> AndyB: uhm, i'm really unsure how GRUB might work in such a configuration... did you always keep that external drive connected?
[20:18] <Pici> mescon: What exactly are you looking to do?
[20:19] <rrittenhouse> In network-manager what does "System-setting" (the checkbox) actually do?
[20:19] <LjL> mescon: is that a question? if yes, "sudo apt-get build-dep <packagename>"
[20:19] <BinaryDragon> LjL, is not really hard to configure all he have to know is the partition where xp is located
[20:19] <ramen> can the cd/dvd creator burn .iso?  or what app should i use?
[20:19] <temppy> AndyB: try googling "Dedicated GRUB partition"
[20:19] <AndyB> LjL, yes it was annoying but i had to keep the usb connected
[20:19] <Pici> mescon: build-essential is the package needed to compile things generally.
[20:19] <AndyB> temppy, Thanks will do now
[20:19] <LjL> BinaryDragon: but can /boot be in a Windows partition?
[20:19] <mescon> thanks Pici
[20:20] <ardchoille> ramen: it can, I did it a few times yesterday
[20:20] <AndyB> BinaryDragon, Cool ill google that, think i might be able to download the iso and burn the disk myself
[20:20] <mescon> tasksel was the command I was looking for... sorry for the poorly formulated question.
[20:20] <LjL> AndyB: then you can certainly replicate that setup - although having a GRUB partition on your internal drive would certainly be handier...
[20:20] <mgolisch> or just use grub4dos
[20:20] <ramen> ardchoille: cool ty.  um how?  haha can i just tell it to burn the .iso file to the disk and it will do it correctly?
[20:20] <BinaryDragon> LjL no, grub dose not load windows,when ou pick windows in the grub menu ,grub just let the windows MRD do the booting
[20:21] <ardchoille> ramen: what happened with me yesterday is it asked if I wanted to burn it as an image, it worked
[20:21] <BinaryDragon> in other words there is no /boot in windows
[20:21] <LjL> BinaryDragon: GRUB still needs /boot/device.map and other files to *start* at all, though
[20:21] <ardchoille> ramboza: Although Brasero (should be installed) can do it too
[20:21] <ramen> cool, thanks :D peace
[20:21] <LjL> BinaryDragon: if you have no /boot/grub, how could GRUB ever start up?
[20:21] <mgolisch> grub4dos its one executable and can be started from the windows bootloader, thats the best aproach
[20:21] <AndyB> BinaryDragon, So do you suggest installing GRUB from CD or set up a dedicated partition
[20:22] <BinaryDragon> i think that is replaced by /boot/grub/grub.conf
[20:22] <mgolisch> it wont affect anything on the internal disk
[20:22] <Sareth> LjL, GRUB can be placed inside the MBR of a disk without /boot/grub
[20:22] <BinaryDragon> AndyB, no need for Partition
[20:22] <AndyB> BinaryDragon, Great thanks, so ill go download the iso
[20:23] <mgolisch> whatever
[20:23] <BinaryDragon> you can just reinstall grub in the MBR so it can load linux, once in linux just configure grub.cong file with the XP
[20:23] <AndyB> mgolisch, Thanks im still reading this page, i am not ignoring your answer its the one im reading the most =]
[20:23] <l7> is grub better than lilo btw?
[20:23] <mgolisch> l7: yeah i think so atleast
[20:24] <mgolisch> its more flexible atleast
[20:24] <l7> ah
[20:24] <ambrose> i need help i currently can not find a fix for the memory stick pro
[20:24] <ambrose> on ubuntu 8.10
[20:24] <l7> is grub better than refit as well?
[20:24] <bakarat_> what's the easiest way to sync the audio on an mkv when it is a bit off?
[20:24] <bimberi> !better
[20:24] <BinaryDragon> l7, what is refit?
[20:24] <l7> BinaryDragon: i tihnk it's another type of bootloader
[20:25] <ambrose>  i need help i currently can not find a fix for the memory stick pro
[20:25] <fosco_> refit? never heard about it
[20:25] <ambrose> ubuntu 8.10
[20:25] <Thev00d00> BinaryDragon: mac multi operating system bootloader
[20:25] <BinaryDragon> the 2 most used are LILO and GRUB
[20:25] <fosco_> ambrose: why do you think you need a fix?
[20:26] <ambrose> because it's not loading it
[20:26] <ambrose> it detects it but does not load
[20:26] <ambrose> missing tifm_ms
[20:26] <fosco_> insert the card, rund dmesg and see what the system is doing
[20:26] <ambrose> i did
[20:26] <dimedo> hi again, i have a problem with my xserver: since installation of a new gpu and reinstallation of the restricted nvidia driver when i startup gnome, metacity seems to be started as window manager and i have a us keyboard layout. if i then restart with CTRL SHIFT BACKSPACE my preferred setting (compiz and german keyboard) are successfully loaded without me changing anything. any ideas how to load them directly on startup or what is going up
[20:26] <dimedo>  here?
[20:26] <ambrose> it detects the memory card but does not load it
[20:27] <ambrose> i had a fix for 8.04 but 8.10 no fix
[20:27] <ambrose> i searched most forums before coming here.
[20:27] <ambrose> no luck
[20:27] <chupy> hi, i need help my webcam before i compile a driver works fine but now not how do i uninstall that driver i compile it but sudo make uninstall dont work... what can i do?
[20:27] <temppy> !enter > ambrose
[20:27] <dimedo> btw im on hary amd64
[20:27] <dimedo> hardy
[20:27] <quellhorst> I just did an apt-get install gcc, yet I'm still getting checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[20:27] <mgolisch> chupy: remove it manualy
[20:27] <Pici> quellhorst: install the build-essential package
[20:28] <ambrose> does any body have a fix or suggestions?
[20:28] <mgolisch> ambrose: look at dmesg
[20:28] <aefjfjepf> irc://<IP_ADDRESS>/12chan
[20:28] <ambrose> once again i did
[20:28] <ambrose> please stop telling me to look there
[20:29] <ambrose> like i said it tell me its detected in socket 0:0
[20:29] <ambrose> but does not load
[20:29] <chupy> mgolish: how?
[20:29] <alkamid> I have a problem with VNC via SSH
[20:30] <TJ-42> I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 -- in the wireless connections there is a checkbox that says "System Setting".  What does this do?
[20:30] <ambrose> any suggestions?
[20:30] <alkamid> i put vncviewer user@host localhost:0
[20:30] <mgolisch> chupy: delete the files it installed using rm
[20:30] <ubuntu_> hi everyone I have a serious problem......I recently tried to get ubuntu off this computer but now everytime I restart my computer it says grub 1.5 loading error...can anyone help me?
[20:30] <alkamid> channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused
[20:30] <alkamid> vncviewer: VNC server closed connection
[20:30] <temppy> ambrose: if it worked in 8.04, and now doesn't work in 8.10, have you considered filing a bug report?
[20:30] <alkamid> that's what I get
[20:30] <quellhorst> Pici: thanks, that worked.
[20:30] <chupy> but i dont know where are located
[20:31] <ambrose> it worked with a fix, but i seen people file 1
[20:31] <temppy> ubuntu_: if you are trying to run windows, I think you need to boot the windows cd, and run fixmbr
[20:31] <ambrose> i rather not because whats the point
[20:31] <ambrose> it does not fix the problem
[20:31] <ubuntu_> hmm ok
[20:32] <ubuntu_> any other methods just before I run and try that?
[20:32] <bor1> When running 'apt-get dist-upgrade -s' (hardy -> intrepid), I get the error "E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libsasl2-2". The update-manager graphical tool doesn't work either, possibly for the same reason. apt-get install libsasl2-2 fails with the same error. Any ideas?
[20:32] <ambrose> thanks for your support tho guys
[20:32] <mgolisch> chupy: look at the messages from make install it will tell your where it put the files and blame the developer to not have included a proper uninstall make target
[20:32] <mgolisch> ubuntu_: no there is no other method
[20:32] <ambrose> but this is a bit annoying
[20:32] <chupy> ook thanks
[20:32] <ubuntu_> ok thanks guys I'll give it a shot.
[20:33] <ubuntu_> so I type run fixmbr?
[20:33] <ambrose> no fix solutions?
[20:33] <ambrose> any one?
[20:33] <CaShMoNey> ubuntu: for xp?
[20:33] <mgolisch> ubuntu_: you boot the windows cd, in the repair options select recovery console, select your windows installation, enter admin pw , then run fixmbr
[20:33] <mgolisch> if its xp or 2k
[20:33] <DavidCanarias> I have a DVD a friend burnt to disc for me. In one section there are photos in mpg format and the other is a Webcam video converted to mpg. I am trying to copy the DVD to send to a friend but I am finding it pretty impossible to do with all the tools I have. Any ideas please to help me?
[20:34] <ubuntu_> thanks ^^
[20:34] <CaShMoNey> DavidCanarias: Did you try ISO Master?
[20:34] <mgolisch> DavidCanarias: whats the problem with copieng it? almost every tool should be able to do that
[20:34] <Dougwiser> what tools ou got Dave
[20:34] <DavidCanarias> CaSHMoNey: What is ISO Master? Sorry, is it a repos?
[20:34] <hwilde> how can I get the "Lock Screen" button on my top panel?
[20:35] <mker> DavidCanarias, Is it a data dvd? Couldn't you just copy the files in Nautilus?
[20:35] <mgolisch> hwilde: add it to the pannel
[20:35] <hwilde> mgolisch, how
[20:35] <CaShMoNey> DavidCanarias: You're using ubuntu correct?
[20:35] <mgolisch> righht click -> add to panel and select that thing
[20:35] <DavidCanarias> mgolisch: When I right clic on the DVD and copy, I can read it in my computer but my DVD player wont read it? Curious and frustrating no?
[20:35] <hwilde> mgolisch, oh.  duh
[20:35] <hwilde> mgolisch,   type in    /nick CaptainObvious
[20:36] <temppy> bor1: you should pastebin all errors
[20:36] <DavidCanarias> CaShMoNey: Yes I am using Intrepid.
[20:36] <CaShMoNey> DavidCanarias: ahh that's another story. Lemme read up a bit and see if I can find some help
[20:36] <Android> Hello
[20:36] <jeaton> what's a good program to burn avi format to dvd?
[20:36] <^A^kira> hello, im trying to install bluetooth device in my ubuntu 8.10... here is the output http://paste.org.ru/?2rhp9a
[20:36] <DavidCanarias> mker: Its a DVD with photos and a webcam video, dont know if this makes it DATA, but I did copy and it didnt work
[20:36] <senorpedro_> is there a better torrent client than transmission?
[20:36] <mker> jeaton, Gnomebaker
[20:37] <temppy> senorpedro_: try deluge, its popular
[20:37] <mker> senorpedro_, better is a matter of taste
[20:37] <CaShMoNey> DavidCanarias: alright. Brasero can help you out with that
[20:37] <^A^kira> all the "rm" lines it says "rm: cannot delete "blabla": Read-only file system
[20:37] <mgolisch> senorpedro_: iam using deluge and i like it realy much
[20:37] <DavidCanarias> CaShMoNey:  Another very helpful guy, like yourself did help me install a few things in order to copy, but it isn't working. The iso, copy to disc right clic, DeVeDe, K9copy - no luck so if you can help I'd be over the mean really!! Thks
[20:37] <Ridha> hello peeps, when I try o launch world of warcraft or other applicaions, I get a Segmentation Fault error.  I have the latest Nvidia drivers..not sure what to do
[20:38] <senorpedro_> ok i give deluge a try, thx guys
[20:38] <DavidCanarias> CaShMoNey: Yes but no way I can get Brasero to work
[20:38] <flima> I have two wireless cards, how do I know both of them are working?
[20:38] <CaShMoNey> ^A^kira: Try rm -f
[20:38] <oly562> Spec:  lastly, and good admin knows, he must modify most if not all scripts, thus making the claim tried and tested only true in env that are not really do much at all, other than typical functions. an ORGAMIN or ORGMIN can go into any enviro and improve all processes, since he has the unique ability to see it all, he see's ladies in red dresses when he walks into the arena
[20:38] <mker> Ridha, can't help you but did you check out the Wine page for it and read the comments? I've found it to be helpful for some other stuff.
[20:38] <mgolisch> flima: iwconfig , do you see two devices there?
[20:38] <CaShMoNey> DavidCanarias: and why's that?
[20:39] <^A^kira> CaShMoNey: im not doing rm, its aptitude trying to rm something
[20:39] <jeaton> thanks
[20:39] <oly562> flima: having wireless issues? sorry,,, what kernel are you running, and what is the wifi card?
[20:39] <flima> mgolisch: I only see one
[20:39] <flima> but I have 2 devices
[20:39] <Ridha> mker, I've searched all over the Wine pages, and all it says is to install the latest Nvidia drivers =/
[20:39] <flima> 0b:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61)
[20:39] <flima> 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
[20:39] <Ridha> which I've done
[20:39] <CaShMoNey> ^A^kira: okay, and is that process still running?
[20:39] <oly562> flima: what client are you using as well , like NetworkManager? something else?
[20:40] <flima> oly562: yea
[20:40] <^A^kira> cas
[20:40] <oly562> good old intel pro/wireless.. whats the kernel?
[20:40] <^A^kira> CaShMoNey: the deamon is running but bluetooth doesn't works
[20:40] <mgolisch> ^A^kira: if it says readonly filesystem something is messaed up quite bad
[20:40] <cordor> what are the software sources i must have? i think i mess the sources.
[20:40] <flima> Linux lima-xps 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 17:53:40 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[20:40] <mgolisch> ^A^kira: do a filesystem check on the root filesystem
[20:40] <mker> Ridha, Oh too bad, well if you don't get any help here try in the Wine section in Ubuntuforums.org I looked there a few minutes ago and saw a bunch of WoW threads. Sometimes the forums is easier to get an answer in.
[20:40] <^A^kira> mgolisch: ideas how to fix it?
[20:40] <DavidCanarias> CaShMoNey: At one stage it kept tellling me no matter what there wasnt enough space on the disc. I gave up on Brasero when using Hardy. Updated to Intrepid and must say not dedicated much time again..... Do I insert the disc to copy and open Brasero and then what? It has to be a Video DVD no. Remember I have photos and webcam video?????
[20:40] <^A^kira> mgolisch: did it
[20:40] <E-XtraCt> if I have fedora 10 i686 installed on my pc, it will make a problem if i will install ubuntu also ?
[20:40] <kebomix> hello , sometimes when i open videos files , my ubuntu 8.04 freeze and i have to make power off from it  , any solution 4 htat ?
[20:41] <flima> oly562: the intel one seems to be working.. not the broadcom one
[20:41] <Ridha> I'll check there a bit more, thanks mker!
[20:41] <CaShMoNey> DavidCanarias: actually You would select the video project option instead of disc copy
[20:41] <cordor> kebomix: which players/video file format?
[20:41] <flima> it seems to be enabled through the Hardware drivers settings
[20:41] <ubuntu_> oh in light of my prior problem...is there anyway to do it without the windows cd?
[20:41] <CaShMoNey> go to the mount point of your dvd and select all your files
[20:41] <mker> kebomix, think we'll need a little more info than that. what video file? what program? does it freeze with the same file every time?
[20:42] <CaShMoNey> and then drag and drop them into brasero
[20:42] <ubuntu_> oh in light of my prior problem...is there anyway to do it without the windows cd?
[20:42] <mker> ubuntu_, probably not if it's windows you want to keep
[20:42] <mgolisch> flima: if you enabled it there you need to reboot for it to get active
[20:42] <bimberi> E-XtraCt: ok as long as you install them in separate partitions
[20:42] <flima> mgolisch: I have
[20:42] <cs02rm0> does anyone know how i can set default nice levels for applications? preferably in some central way rather than scripting it
[20:42] <TJ-42> does ubuntu 8.10 support wpa2 out of the box?
[20:42] <flima> still "Not in Use"
[20:42] <flima> maybe because the other one is? I dunno
[20:42] <DavidCanarias> CaShMoNey: OK thanks, thats a starting help!! I have put in the disc and opened Brasero OK.... Are you able to help guide me???
[20:42] <bimberi> TJ-42: yes
[20:43] <TJ-42> thanks bimberi
[20:43] <CaShMoNey> sure
[20:43] <mgolisch> cant you just make an iso and burn that?
[20:43] <kebomix> many formats , AVi , Mpeg , RMVB , some times it freeze and some tiems it works good , and it freeze always with totem  and movie player
[20:43] <mgolisch> it must work that way
[20:43] <CaShMoNey> mgolisch: Not if it's not readable to an ordinary dvd player without an OS attached to it for codec purposes
