[06:36] <nickrud> tsukasa_: you should install rcconf , and use that to set up the links.
[06:36] <superwattie> join radeonhd
[06:36] <Gearsmith> It didn't work. I still can't edit the permissions.
[06:36] <nickrud> tsukasa_: once you have it installed, if it's not clear to you I'll walk you thru it
[06:36] <sethk> Gearsmith, I don't know what you mean by "editing the permissions".  running chmod _is_ changing the permissions.
[06:37] <Gearsmith> ...
[06:37] <tsukasa_> nickrud, actually it was very straightforward. thanks
[06:37] <swuboo> Gearsmith:  You could try running the command, "gksudo nautilus"
[06:37] <dietrying> i have install unbuntu server 7.10 on raid 0 and have 3 other hard drive I would like to software raid 5. can someone point me to a guide?
[06:37] <soldats> Gearsmith, why do you need to change permissions anyways? if you need to edit a file just use sudo or su type root pass then edit as necessary
[06:37] <nickrud> tsukasa_: yw
[06:38] <swuboo> Gearsmith:  That will open Nautilus as root, which will allow you to change whatever permissions you want from inside the Nautilus GUI.
[06:38] <EADG_> cute_bettong: there is a config file for glmatrix in /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/glmatrix.xml
[06:38] <sethk> soldats, sudo needs the user's password, _not_ the root password
[06:38] <misslecommander> !raid
[06:38] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[06:38] <soldats> sethk, i said su not sudo
[06:39] <sethk> soldats, he can become root, but then you simply use su by itself and get another prompt, and type the command at the new prompt
[06:39] <Gearsmith> Nautilus worked.
[06:39] <Sol> i was wondering if i could get some help from anyone familiar with wine?
[06:39] <Gearsmith> Thanks.
[06:39] <swuboo> Gearsmith:  Quite welcome.
[06:39] <cute_bettong> EADG_: theres gotta be a config file for each of the screensavers even the random option right? i wonder if we find the random options settings if we cannot tweak them from there?
[06:40] <Sol> is anyone familiar with the wine/steam combination?
[06:40] <soldats> sethk, dont worry about it anymore. he/she is getting it to work
[06:40] <soldats> i dont want conflict :)
[06:40] <sethk> soldats, I'm not worried in the least.  :)
[06:41] <sethk> soldats, although I might be worried about whether I'm worried.  :)
[06:41] <soldats> 0o lol
[06:41] <hatter_> if i try to rmmod ipv6 i get an error: module ipv6 is in use by nf_conntrack_h232 how can i remove the ipv6 module ?
[06:41] <Sol> help plz?!
[06:41] <sethk> hatter_, you can't, once it is in use.  why do you want to remove it?
[06:41] <soldats> Sol, check in #winehq
[06:41] <forskinbob> channel
[06:41] <Sol> ah thanks
[06:42] <shasbot> how could i find out the frequency my processor is operating, at, i think it may be underclocked ?
[06:42] <swuboo> So, anyone got any notion why clicking the logout button hangs gnome for me?
[06:42] <soldats> theryre more of wine specialists
[06:42] <hatter_> sethk, i am suffering from network slowness, i have tried different nics, switches, the only thing in common between two boxezs suffering the same thing is gutsy-server
[06:42] <sethk> swuboo, try   cat /proc/cpuinfo
[06:42] <Sol> ahha yeah
[06:42] <Jeriath> anyone know how i would go about sharing an internet connection with two other networks
[06:42] <Jeriath> i ahve it working with one network, but it wont work with 2
[06:42] <swuboo> sethk:  Sure you didn't mean that for shasbot?
[06:42] <sethk> hatter_, it's possible to turn ipv6 off, but it takes a reboot (one of the few cases)
[06:42] <clearzen> damn, gzip made a backup of my system using only 1GB of space.
[06:42] <sethk> swuboo, probably I did, sorry
[06:43] <hatter_> sethk, so i am pulling out my hair, and wondering if ipv6 could have anything to do with it
[06:43] <sethk> shasbot, try   cat /proc/cpuinfo
[06:43] <shasbot> mmk, thanks sethk
[06:43] <swuboo> sethk:  Quite alright.
[06:43] <sethk> hatter_,  If the traffic between one of the gutsy servers and an IPV4 machine is normal speed, then it could be a factor.  I've not encountered a case where it's dramatically slower, but most of my network is strictly ipv4
[06:44] <shasbot> sethk, is the cpu mhz the actual or intended?
[06:44] <sethk> shasbot, let me check
[06:44] <hatter_> sethk, its a small file server with samba
[06:44] <swuboo> If I click the logout button, absolutely nothing comes up, but I lose my ability to interact with windows or GNOME itself, short of Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.
[06:44] <sethk> hatter_, see if the rount trip time for a ping is higher gutsy to gutsy than gutsy to one of the windows boxes
[06:44] <berto-> anyone know what kernel modules are needed to get a SCSI tape drive working?  i was running a stock <IP_ADDRESS> LTS kernel and my tape drive worked fine.  when I rebooted into a Xen kernel, the tape drive was no longer detected.  any ideas?
[06:45] <bullgard4> Gnome teminal reports: "sudo: pam_authenticate: Conversation error; :" There is no prompt. Why can I not terminate this 'conversation' by ^C? How can I terminate this 'conversation'?
[06:45] <hatter_> sethk, yesterday i was getting network speed of 512 KBps using netcat between windows and gutsy
[06:45] <nickrud> bullgard4: close the terminal
[06:45] <soldats> swuboo, there was a bug in it IIRC check the launchpad
[06:45] <sethk> berto-, there is a scsi tape module.
[06:45] <hatter_> sethk, when it should be 8MBps
[06:45] <swuboo> soldats:  Thanks, I'll take a look.
[06:45] <sethk> hatter_, I doubt that all of that performance gap could be ipv6.
[06:45] <berto-> sethk: yeah the st module.  i have that one and even ran "modprobe st" to load it up ... nothing showed up in dmesg.
[06:45] <sethk> hatter_, that's a factor of, what, 16?
[06:46] <bullgard4> nickrud: I don't like your idea. It happens only in one tab. I need the other Gnome tabs yet.
[06:46] <hatter_> sethk, me too, i have run out of things to do
[06:46] <sethk> berto-, modprobe didn't give you any nasty messages?
[06:46] <EADG_> cute_bettong: found a solution on ubuntu-forums. Do a seach for "screensaver settings gutsy"  Look at 7th post (how to adjust .... finally)
[06:46] <nickrud> bullgard4: then close that tab only
[06:46] <sethk> hatter_, let me think for a moment.  This is what I do for a living, but it's 1:46 AM here and my brain is nearly shut down.  :)
[06:46] <berto-> sethk: nope, ran w/o squaking.
[06:47] <hatter_> sethk, this is what i do for a living too, any thoughts appreciated, otherwise i am driving 2.5Hours to the box tomorrow :(
[06:47] <berto-> sethk: lsmod shows the module is loaded, but "in use" is 0.
[06:47] <sethk> berto-, Not sure what's going on.  If it were a kernel build issue I would expect modprobe to complain.  You might check the kernel configuration file in /boot
[06:47] <diva> aloo
[06:47] <sethk> berto-, well, in use 0 is normal when the tape drive hasn't been detected
[06:47] <sethk> berto-, try loading the module and then turning on the tape drive
[06:47] <Gearsmith> Where is Nautilus located under in Applications?
[06:47] <sethk> berto-, or the other way around.  whichever one you aren't doing  :)
[06:47] <berto-> sethk: what would i look for in /boot?  also, is there some way i can kick the kernel into reprobing the hardware to see if it finds it?
[06:48] <g9c1> slt
[06:48] <bullgard4> nickrud: Well, that I would call a 'dirty' solution. --  Thank you, anyway.
[06:48] <g9c1> hello
[06:48] <berto-> sethk: the tape drive is internal, plugged directly into the PSU.
[06:48] <sethk> berto-, the installer puts a configuration file for the installed kernel in /boot.  For example, config-2.6.23-386
[06:48] <Gearsmith> Where is Nautilus located under in Applications?
[06:48] <brandonD> how do i install this http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=132142
[06:48] <sethk> berto-, the ending is whatever ending you see with uname -a
[06:48] <g9c1> there's not french
[06:49] <hatter_> sethk, do you use the 7.10 gutsy server ?
[06:49] <soldats> Gearsmith, i think admin or system
[06:49] <bazhang> brandonD: what is it?
[06:49] <LibertyShadow> It entertains me that ubuntu has so many users on this server.
[06:49] <nickrud> Gearsmith: it's hidden; if you want to see it right click the menu bar and select edit, it's under accessories as file browser
[06:49] <sethk> hatter_, yes, on one of my machines at work
[06:49] <bazhang> !fr | g9c1
[06:49] <ubotu> g9c1: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[06:49] <sethk> hatter_, but I'm not at work at the moment (obviously)
[06:49] <Duke_Fluke> LibertyShadow, it has the most doesn't it?
[06:50] <berto-> sethk: CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=m
[06:50] <sethk> hatter_, I'll be there in about 8 hours or so, then we could compare things and see if something on your box looks suspicious.
[06:50] <LibertyShadow> Yes sir.
[06:50] <LibertyShadow> I introduced myself to Ubuntu last april.
[06:50] <sethk> berto-, SATA isn't what we need here for a scsi drive.  But if it were missing I'd expect unresolved externals.
[06:51] <nickrud> bullgard4: yeah, it's a dirty solution but it's the only one I've found that works there
[06:51] <berto-> sethk: i put st into /etc/modules (for the next reboot), but this box is NFS serving home directories and i'd rather not take it down for a reboot.
[06:51] <hatter_> sethk, thx for the offer, I will be here,  it will be midnight where i am
[06:51] <bazhang> LibertyShadow: support question? or just want to chat?
[06:51] <sethk> hatter_, k
[06:51] <hatter_> are you using samba at work ?
[06:51] <berto-> sethk: i think i led you astray.  this is an SATA tape drive.
[06:51] <sethk> berto-, reboot won't fix it anyway
[06:51] <brandonD> bazhang, moto4lin its a program to hack my phone
[06:51] <bullgard4> nickrud: Ok, thank you for your information.
[06:51] <sethk> berto-, oh, ok.  you still need scsi tape support, but you already loaded it.
[06:51] <berto-> sethk: yep.
[06:51] <LibertyShadow> bazhang: Sorry, I am new to irc, I am just overwhelmed with the possibilities... I will be quiet.
[06:52] <sethk> berto-, there are utilities to force a reread of a real scsi bus, but I don't know whether there is a similar one for sata emulating scsi
[06:52] <fotofl0> what should i use to compress rar files?
[06:52] <bazhang> brandonD: have you tried internet search/ubuntuforums? that would be your best bet imp
[06:52] <fotofl0> from the commandline
[06:52] <berto-> sethk: if i pull the plug on the tape and plug it back in, will that do?  ;)
[06:52] <bazhang> LibertyShadow: perhaps you would enjoy #ubuntu-offtopic more :}
[06:52] <brandonD> bazhang, if i wanted to do that i wouldve]
[06:52] <berto-> sethk: though, a reboot is a lot safer than that.  hehe.
[06:52] <LibertyShadow> Why thank you!
[06:53] <sethk> berto-, theoretically it can't hurt, but the signal cable lines might be bouncing.
[06:53] <bazhang> brandonD: this is your first stop? :}
[06:54] <sethk> bazhang, he's gone, and not missed.  :)
[06:54] <berto-> if i'm using (rw,sync) on an NFS share and i reboot, will the NFS clients stay alive and continue to work properly after the reboot?
[06:54] <dsnyders> sethk, your vi command worked wonders.  vi even keeps command history between sessions.  Sweet!
[06:54] <bazhang> sethk:  ah so :}
[06:54] <sethk> dsnyders, great.  :)
[06:55] <berto-> dsnyders: what's the vi magic you speak of?
[06:55] <dsnyders> sethk, I even found this :g/^/exe ":s/^/".line(".")."^I/" to add the line numbers.
[06:55] <swuboo> soldats:  You were right, there's an open high priority bug describing exactly my problem.
[06:55] <brandonD> sethk, not gone and i dont give a **** if you miss me
[06:56] <bazhang> !ohmy | brandonD
[06:56] <ubotu> brandonD: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[06:56] <sethk> brandonD, so glad you told me that, makes my entire evening.
[06:56] <ubun2> is there a version of ubuntu like puppy or dsl? for usb drive
[06:56] <dsnyders> berto-, sethk helped me tweak a file with some powerful regular expression processing.
[06:56] <soldats> swuboo, hope you get it solved, i havet looked at the bug in a long time so im not so sure how to fix it
[06:56] <soldats> there should be a fix though?
[06:56] <EADG_> cute_bettong, reeeh2000: Looks like the settings option was taken out for Gutsy. Here is a fix. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=637528&highlight=screensaver+settings+gutsy
[06:57] <swuboo> soldats:  There were several different workarounds mentioned.  None of them looked applicable to my situation.
[06:57] <abuyazan> helloo
[06:57] <ubun2> is there a version of ubuntu like puppy or dsl? boot from usb
[06:57] <abuyazan> my volume controls (increase and decrease) on HP laptop is not working,
[06:57] <swuboo> soldats:  I guess I'll live.  I mean, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace functionally drops me back onto the login screen, so I can reboot or shutdown from there.  In the end, it's not really a huge deal, just annoying.
[06:58] <abuyazan> it was working fine but yesterday, how can i reconfigure them ?
[06:58] <dsnyders> ubun2, check http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
[06:58] <EADG_> ubun2: I saw a link yesterday for ubuntulite, goole that.
[06:58] <soldats> swuboo, true, well i prefer command line anyways so im used to it. hope you remember th e commands
[06:58] <soldats> :)
[06:58] <ubun2> thanks
[06:58] <nickrud> EADG_: thanks for the link
[06:59] <nimnrod> hi, i have windows in one hard drive and ubuntu in the second one, i want to add windows to the GRUB menu... (i installed ubuntu with the first hard drive disconnected)
[06:59] <ubun2> thanks... ubuntu rulez! windows suck
[07:00] <soldats> no bashin please
[07:00] <soldats> bashing
[07:00] <sethk> nimnrod, ok, that's generally easy to do.  "info grub" has an example
[07:00] <swuboo> soldats:  Heh.  I remember plenty of commands.  They're just all for DOS.
[07:00] <Jeriath> i have three network cards in my ubuntu machine. One is connected to the internet and the other two are connected to two different private networks. How would i set up internet connection sharing to work with both the cards for internal networks
[07:00] <Jeriath> i can make it work with one
[07:00] <nimnrod> sethk: ok, let me check that... if not i'll let you know
[07:00] <Jeriath> but not both
[07:01] <sethk> swuboo, use cygwin or a similar package, so you can get reasonable syntax for windows CLI
[07:01] <swuboo> sethk:  Naw, I'm all right.  If I really need to find a specific CLI command, I'll google it on another computer.  Or, if I'm really desperate, call up a friend and make them google it.
[07:01] <Nurlo> I'm having some trouble with ndiswrapper. I got a Linksys WMP54G 4.1 today, trying to set it up and having no luck. I've installed ndiswrapper-common and *-utils off my kubuntu disk (no network connection, of course), and installed the driver. ndiswrapper -l says that the driver and hardware is installed, but when I run sudo modprobe ndiswrapper it gives me an error saying that 'ndiswrapper.ko' is not found.
[07:02] <soldats> swuboo, lol, dont hesitate to ask for anything if you neeed to
[07:02] <sethk> swuboo, just trying to make your windows experience less painful.  :)
[07:02] <clinton_> what is the best way to burn dvd's
[07:02] <swuboo> Much obliged, both of you.
[07:02] <clinton_> anybody know?
[07:03] <sethk> Nurlo, do    lsmod          if ndiswrapper is in the list, it is loaded.  Probably need to rerun depmod so modprobe can find it, but that won't solve your problem.
[07:03] <Rodolfo> hello does anyone here know a download manager to run on gnome and can deal with firefox? e.g. you click on the link to dl (from FF) and then the DM starts downloading...
[07:03] <soldats> Rodolfo, firefox has one
[07:03] <ooboon2> Hi everyone, I need help with fixing my partitions
[07:03] <gunashekar> rodolfo try this question in #firefox  there are plugins to do that
[07:04] <ooboon2> umm
[07:04] <Nurlo> sethk: Well, I mean, ndiswrapper.ko doesn't exist.
[07:04] <Rodolfo> soldats: built-in?
[07:04] <sethk> Nurlo, if the -l shows the interface, then it must exist
[07:04] <ooboon2> Does anyone know how to restore the bootloader when it says "NTLDR is missing"?
[07:04] <Rodolfo> gunashekar: thanks
[07:04] <soldats> Rodolfo, normally in FF when you download something a download manager pops up and notifies youwhen the download is done
[07:05] <berto-> Rodolfo: try DownThemAll Firefox add-on.
[07:05] <soldats> Rodolfo, tools > downloads
[07:05] <Nurlo> sethk: "FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/misc/ndiswrapper.ko': No such file or directory". And I've cd'd to the directory and ls'd it, there is simply nothing there.
[07:05] <Rodolfo> berto-: is it available at firefox's addons page?
[07:05] <berto-> Rodolfo: yep.
[07:06] <nimnrod> sethk: i can't understand how can i apply the info i got with "grub info" (im trying to add windows into the grub menu but its in another hard drive)
[07:06] <sethk> Nurlo, that's not the directory where it should be.  Do the lsmod command first, then we'll know what we are talking about
[07:06] <Rodolfo> soldats: i want to schedule some downloads, i mean a program to do that automatically
[07:06] <ooboon2> i had a dual boot between windows and ubuntu and my windows partition came up with the BSOD when I tried to boot into it so yesterday I tried to fix it. Someone told me to use "fixboot c:" and I did that. afterwards, it came up with "NTLDR is missing" and I couldn't access either windows or ubuntu partition when I turned on my computer. I'm typing this from the ubuntu live CD right now.
[07:06] <Nurlo> sethk: lsmod doesn't show ndiswrapper either, of course.
[07:06] <sethk> Nurlo, you didn't say that, so far.
[07:07] <soldats> Rodolfo, ok well it was not so clear what you said earlier. check in plugins
[07:07] <ooboon2> Is there a way to fix this situation? :( I really hope I haven't permanently lost all my files on my computer
[07:08] <ooboon2> (and this is Veganarkismo from yesterday)
[07:08] <swuboo> ooboon2:  I'm not positive, but that sounds fixable.
[07:08] <user11_011> on ubuntu what can provide  a public folder
[07:08] <Nurlo> sethk: Anyway, that's where it's looking for it, so where is it so that I can copy it?
[07:08] <user11_011> on ubuntu what can provide  a public folder which can be used with mail clients.
[07:09] <ooboon2> swuboo: Thanks, that's reassuring
[07:09] <swuboo> ooboon2:  Fixboot c: makes windows rewrite the MBR for the C: drive.
[07:09] <ooboon2> :O
[07:09] <sethk> Nurlo, I would expect it in /lib/modules/..../kernel/drivers/...          but, first, let's make sure it's on the machine in the first place.  try:     find / -name 'ndiswrapper.ko'
[07:09] <swuboo> ooboon2:  Which should have no effect on the data in any actual partition, I believe.
[07:09] <ooboon2> ooo i c
[07:09] <sethk> swuboo, correct
[07:10] <ooboon2> but why did it affect the ubuntu partition too when it's a windows file
[07:10] <swuboo> ooboon2:  It didn't.
[07:10] <hatter_> sethk, how do u like this : i have been able to change nics and now the speed is 8MBps, but the network is still slow , which means samba or kernel i guess
[07:10] <reeeh2000> ooboon2: asksomeone else but i believe sudo grub-install /dev/sda will reinstall grub for you, but double check with someone else to see if this will help
[07:10] <Nurlo> seth: wait, I tried find, I think I got it. one sec
[07:10] <sethk> ooboon2, only the partition table is changed.  The partition table is shared.
[07:10] <ooboon2> It just comes up with "NTLDR is missing" instead of the menu with "choose your OS"
[07:10] <ooboon2> sethk: I see
[07:10] <hatter_> using netcat for measurement
[07:10] <sethk> hatter_, if changing nics did it, it has to be kernel, because samba is still samba.
[07:10] <swuboo> ooboon2:  Yes, Windows is looking for its own personal loader, which isn't there.
[07:10] <ooboon2> oh
[07:11] <EADG_> I loose my wifi connection every time I switch to cli from X and vise versa, any suggestions?
[07:11] <hatter_> sethk, agreed, the other common thing between this and the box that was slow is shorewall
[07:11] <ooboon2> Is there a way to fix it? I've tried Parted Magic but I'm not quite sure how to use it
[07:11] <hatter_> 'the other box'
[07:11] <swuboo> ooboon2:  Reinstalling grub should fix the problem, although I doubt it will fix the underlying bluescreen issue with Windows.
[07:11] <reeeh2000> swuboo: do you think sudo grub-intall /dev/sda would help ooboon2?
[07:11] <hatter_> cant see how iptables could do this without specific b/w throttling
[07:12] <sethk> hatter_, it's not impossible that samba or shorewall is involved, but it's not likely either.
[07:12] <sethk> hatter_, sounds like, perhaps one NIC is using dma and the other was not.
[07:12] <ooboon2> swuboo: Thanks :D I'll try that
[07:12] <ooboon2> Reeeh2000: When i enter that, it says the command isn't found
[07:13] <Nurlo> sethk: huh, there's a copy in my trash somehow, but it was inside something different (tried to compile it, failed, so I got the .deb). Might not work, but I'll try it
[07:13] <hatter_> this box is on 2.6.22-14-server
[07:13] <sethk> Nurlo, k
[07:13] <swuboo> I'm not sure what the best way to restore grub would be.
[07:13] <user11_011> on ubuntu what can provide  a public folder which can be used with mail clients.
[07:13] <sethk> hatter_, I always replace the ubuntu kernel with one from kernel.org.  It might be interesting to see what effect that has on the behavior.
[07:14] <sethk> all, have to walk my dog before he bursts, be back in about 10
[07:14] <reeeh2000> ooboon2:strang, are you booting from your first SATA harddisk? if not then the /dev/sta will be wrong
[07:14] <swuboo> ooboon2:  Did you copy and paste his command exactly?  He said "intall" instead of "install"
[07:14] <hatter_> sethk, yes, that is the next thing, there are a few other kernels available from the repos, linux-image-2.6.22-14-386 for exapmle
[07:15] <swuboo> So you might want to try it /with/ the missing s.
[07:15] <ooboon2> ooooooh
[07:15] <Sonja> what program should i use to transfer mp3's onto my portable usb mp3 player??
[07:15] <hatter_> or ...-generic
[07:15] <Sonja> and which program to mass edit ID tags?
[07:15] <SinNoAria> this is sad...  my first day using Ubuntu and I'm already camping on the irc channel using Windows...  Is there any rules against camping here?  I'd probably learn faster by looking at irc chat logs when I wake up
[07:15] <reeeh2000> swuboo: oops!
[07:15] <sethk> hatter_, true.  I go with kernel.org because I'm writing new device drivers, but the repo kernels should be equally valid.
[07:15] <manu_> an easy way to reinstall grub is to use the super grub disk http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/ its worked well for me
[07:15] <swuboo> SinNoAria:  If there is a rule against it, there are probably about 1100 people in violation right now.
[07:15] <user11_011> on ubuntu what can provide  a public folder which can be used with mail clients.
[07:16] <reeeh2000> ooboon2: now i fell silly
[07:16] <ooboon2> swuboo: reeh2000:  It says "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[07:16] <ooboon2> "
[07:16] <soldats> !id3
[07:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about id3 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:16] <swuboo> ooboon2:  Is your hard drive mounted?
[07:16] <user11_011> on ubuntu what can provide  a public folder which can be used with mail clients.
[07:16] <ooboon2> Swuboo: I think so, how do I check?
[07:17] <ooboon2> Swuboo: Last time I used it was yesterday so i guess it's mounted
[07:17] <EADG_> Sonja: Amorak works with ipods, I use gtkpod on my Touch. Not sure about mass tag editing.
[07:17] <swuboo> On the main menu, resources, Computer.  See if it's listed.
[07:17] <reeeh2000> ooboon2: now where moving to where I can't help to much, i am learning by helping people, so ill leave you to Swuboo
[07:17] <reeeh2000> <--- can't spell
[07:17] <manu_> oboon2: I missed some of the converstation but are you using Vista? I've faced the same problem with Vista
[07:17] <ooboon2> Reeeh2000, lol np, thanks anyway :)
[07:18] <swuboo> Heh, I'm not exactly an old hand at this either, I'm just lucky enough to have had similar problems.
[07:18] <reeeh2000> ooboon2: sure thing, good luck getting it fixed
[07:19] <swuboo> ooboon2:  Try opening a terminal and typing mount /dev/sda
[07:19] <reeeh2000> ooboon2: the command sudo update-grub may help you reset grub, not sure though
[07:19] <EADG_> Sonja: apt-cache search id tags editor returned these programs; eyed3, cowbell, exfalso, id3, id3ed, id3v2, kid3 and few others.
[07:19] <Nurlo> sethk: yay, that file in my trash works. Thanks for trying to help ^^
[07:19] <soldats> Sonja, look in synaptic for mp3 tag editor i used to have i long time ago but i cant remember the name
[07:20] <manu_> ooboon2: you have windows xp or vista?
[07:20] <ooboon2> Reeeh2000: Thanks :D I ran that command, it says "Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done
[07:20] <ooboon2> "
[07:20] <DTealc> I am having trouble connecting to update/synaptic servers - none are connecting but the rest of the internet is fine. This is in Xandros, but I had the same problem in Ubuntu and can't remember how i fixed it.
[07:20] <ooboon2> Swuboo: mount: can't find /dev/sda in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[07:20] <reeeh2000> ooboon2: cool
[07:20] <ooboon2> Manu_: XP
[07:20] <ooboon2> reeeh2000: does that mean grub is restored?
[07:20] <soldats> !easytag
[07:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about easytag - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:21] <reeeh2000> ooboon2: not sure, its designed to create the menu.1st file
[07:21] <ooboon2> reeeh2000: o ok
[07:21] <manu_> ooboon2: Oh ok I had the same problem with vista I restored the Vista MBR from the install disk and then ran super grub disk it solved my problem.
[07:21] <bullgard4> erro message "pam_authenticate: Conversation error." What does 'pam' stand for?
[07:22] <ooboon2> manu_: Is that "fixmbr"? in the recovery console?   and is super grub disk a liveCD?
[07:22] <soldats> Sonja, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=320003
[07:23] <EADG_> I loose my wifi connection every time I switch to cli from X and vise versa, any suggestions?
[07:23] <Sonja> thanks
[07:23] <jlulian38> What do you mean EADG_ ?
[07:23] <jlulian38> Like when you Alt+FX ?
[07:23] <reeeh2000> ooboon2: i guess the only way to see if rebuilding menu.1st did anything is to restart
[07:23] <EADG_> jlulian38: exactly
[07:24] <manu_> ooboon2: yes its the equivalent of fixmbr but the command was different for vista. and grub disk is a live cd you can boot with it and it gives you a set of options and installs grub based on your selection.
[07:24] <DTealc> I am having problems not being able to connect to any repository in synaptic package manager, and apt-get update just sticks on 0% forever. I had this same problem in Ubuntu and cant remember how I fixed it. What should I do?
[07:24] <ooboon2> reeeh2000: Ok thanks, I'll reboot in a minute and see what happens
[07:24] <jlulian38> I don't know why that would happen :/ but if it's a huge deal you could probably hard-code the values into your init.d/networking script
[07:24] <ooboon2> manu_: Cool, I'll download Super Grub Disk
[07:24] <Sonja> when i plug in my usb mp3 player, ubuntu doesn't mount it onto the desktop. is there something i have to type to mount it?
[07:25] <reeeh2000> ooboon2: ok, ill stick around for a sec to see if it worked
[07:25] <bkar> Sonja displaying on the desktop and mounting are two different things
[07:25] <Sonja> ohh ok
[07:26] <bkar> Sonja-> type mount on terminal and see if it got mounted
[07:26] <jlulian38> Sonja, open up a terminal(Under Accessories probably) and type "tail -f /var/log/messages" and shove it back in again
[07:26] <jlulian38> tell me what you see
[07:26] <EADG_> jlulian38: what would I code in the script? The values for essid, mode, rate, etc...
[07:26] <ooboon2> BRB, restarting
[07:26] <jlulian38> You usually just need to tell it the ESSID and encryption values
[07:26] <jlulian38> the system should run dhclient by itself
[07:27] <Sonja> bkar do you see an mp3 player here http://pastebin.com/m28ca54f0
[07:27] <taker12> I noticed that my /etc/hosts file is missing. Was it moved or should I create one?
[07:27] <taker12> This is for ubuntu 7.10
[07:28] <Sonja> this one is for you jlulian38 http://pastebin.com/m279181cb
[07:28] <soldats> taker12, if you need one create it. its strange you dont have one
[07:28] <bkar> Sonja  nope
[07:28] <jlulian38> That looks normal sonja :/
[07:29] <jlulian38> but it isn't assigning it a block device
[07:29] <jlulian38> I think
[07:29] <Sonja> jlulian38 upon shoving it back in: http://pastebin.com/m22291935
[07:29] <taker12> soldats: yeah, it is strange. I installed gusty on a new server of mine and it's there
[07:29] <taker12> lazy installer?
[07:30] <Sonja> jlulian38 and a program called "music player" opened up
[07:30] <soldats> maybe
[07:30] <Sonja> does that mean i can drag and drop mp3s onto it? is that what it's for?
[07:30] <jlulian38> Oh
[07:30] <bkar> Sonja now type mount again and repaste
[07:30] <jlulian38> yeah that might be it
[07:31] <Sonja> bkar http://pastebin.com/m604b41f5
[07:31] <SinNoAria> Just wondering, the wireless I have works on Vista, but not on the installed Ubuntu 7.04 (it worked when I ran from the CD).  I know this is probably the dumbest question ever but...  Am I selecting the wrong WEP key format?  (I've tried all of the formats though). Is there a link to a manual online anywhere?
[07:31] <jlulian38> Mixed in with all the USB recognition spam you should see something like this if it's a USB mass storage device
[07:31] <jlulian38> Jan 15 23:29:58 jlulian38-laptop-revived kernel: [204286.764000]  sdb: sdb1
[07:31] <s0laris> hallo
[07:31] <Sonja> does it mean i have to type all this stuff anytime i want to put music on my mp3 player??
[07:31] <jlulian38> No
[07:31] <jlulian38> we're trying to make it so you never EVER have to again :P
[07:31] <Sonja> w00t
[07:32] <Sonja> you guys are smrt.
[07:32] <Sonja> what do i do next?
[07:32] <jlulian38> Well you got a music player sort of thing right?
[07:32] <Sonja> like exaile or whatever?
[07:33] <jlulian38> look for your MP3 player somewhere in there
[07:33] <Sonja> i can use something like exaile to transfer the mp3s onto the usb mp3 player?
[07:33] <jlulian38> and also, I'd reccomend using Amarok
[07:33] <jlulian38> and probably
[07:33] <Sonja> ok i'll d/l amarok
[07:33] <Sonja> i thought exaile was the amarok for gnome
[07:33] <soldats> rythmbox is easier
[07:33] <jlulian38> Amarok is like the best thing ever and you'll want to love it like a companion cube
[07:34] <cgreer> hello, I can use ftp with firefox (extension) but when I try to do so from the command line it doesn't work
[07:34] <cgreer> Am I missing something that would be needed for the command line that isn't necessary for the firefox extension?
[07:34] <soldats> Sonja, when you plug in your mp3 player does it not automatically mount
[07:34] <ooboon2> I'm back
[07:34] <reeeh2000> ooboon2: any luck?
[07:34] <sethk> cgreer, yes
[07:35] <Sonja> soldats it doesn't pop up on the desktop
[07:35] <sethk> cgreer, the command line ftp client is completely separate
[07:35] <Sonja> but i was told that's not the same as mounting
[07:35] <sethk> cgreer, in synaptic, search for ftp, it will show up on the list
[07:35] <ooboon2> reeeh2000: Nope, it still says "NTLDR is missing" :\
[07:35] <Sonja> jlulian38 and bkar have been helping me, they may be able to answer your qusetion
[07:35] <cgreer> I downloaded cmdftp
[07:35] <cgreer> ( and installed)
[07:35] <ooboon2> reeeh2000: I haven't tried the super grub disk thing yet though :)
[07:35] <sethk> cgreer, ok, and ...?
[07:36] <reeeh2000> ooboon2: rats, well, thats what I know, i guess give super grub a try, handing you off to more experianced people
[07:36] <soldats> Sonja, well it should auto mount. do "fdisk -l" in terminal and see if it shows up. if so mount it via "sudo mount /dev/name /mountpoint"
[07:36] <cgreer> it runs but using the same uname, pass, port, and host it doesn't connect
[07:36] <reeeh2000> ooboon2: gnight
[07:36] <ooboon2> reeeh2000: Night, thank's for the help :)
[07:36] <swuboo> ooboon2:  Yeah, I think super grub or something like that is probably the easiest course of action.
[07:36] <cgreer> I suppose I was just wondering if there was something I was missing that the firefox extension would have done for me
[07:36] <cgreer> ...
[07:36] <cgreer> ?
[07:37] <ooboon2> swuboo: Kay, downloading that right now.
[07:37] <swuboo> ooboon2:  Out of curiosity, can you see your Windows and Ubuntu partitions from the live CD?
[07:37] <xLE> anyone have any idea why my java won't work for a java applet using firefox(wont recognise)?
[07:37] <sethk> cgreer, whatever it is, it's not related to the firefox plug in.   however ...
[07:37] <sethk> cgreer, you can use ethereal (now wireshark, I believe) to sniff the packets for the firefox ftp connection, and the command line attempt, and see what's different
[07:38] <soldats> xLE, java runtime doent work afaik
[07:38] <pteague> anybody know what package i need to get the file libartsc.so ?
[07:38] <xLE> =/
[07:38] <Flynsarmy> I've connected to my windows pc using terminal server client but i don't know how to get to the TSC options once it's connected. Anyone know how?
[07:38] <soldats> !info libartsc.so
[07:38] <Sonja> how can i test if it automounts?
[07:38] <ubotu> Package libartsc.so does not exist in gutsy
[07:38] <xLE> is there an alternative?
[07:38] <cgreer> k
[07:38] <cgreer> thanks and brb
[07:38] <manu_> SinNoAria: There could be many reasons why your wireless is not working. Start by reading this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide
[07:38] <Sonja> or how can i make it appear on desktop whenever it mounts or is plugged in?
[07:38] <sethk> xLE, the java plug in  works in 32 bit.  only 64 bit has a problem afaik
[07:39] <soldats> xLE, dont think so
[07:39] <xLE> i have the java plugin in
[07:39] <xLE> 32bit
[07:39] <xLE> doesn't work =[
[07:39] <Sonja> jlulian38 did it automount? or we had to manually mount it?
[07:39] <SinNoAria> manu_:  Thanks for the link.
[07:39] <soldats> sethk, i know java works but is there a java-runtime plugin?
[07:39] <sethk> xLE, did you also install the java JRE?
[07:39] <xLE> yes sethk
[07:39] <manu_> SinNoAria: Have a look at this it might be useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide
[07:39] <sethk> soldats, yes, for firefox there is.
[07:39] <jlulian38> I doesn't look like it's automounting
[07:39] <soldats> sethk, wow i must have never found it
[07:39] <jlulian38> but again
[07:40] <jlulian38> try fdisk -l
[07:40] <xLE> sethk i think its working :s
[07:40] <sethk> xLE, k
[07:40] <xLE> kty
[07:40] <soldats> Sonja, if the device is mounted it will appear on the desktop
[07:40] <cgreer> I don't suppose there is a way to get ftp on mandriva?
[07:41] <Sonja> i typed fdisk -l and nothing happened
[07:41] <soldats> Sonja, sudo fdisk -l
[07:42] <Sonja> soldats and jlulian38 i got http://pastebin.com/m2a2e998d
[07:42] <Flynsarmy> Anyone have any experience with the Gnome Terminal Services application that comes bundled with ubuntu?
[07:42] <Sonja> can we set it up so it automounts and appears on desktop in the future whenever i stick my usb mp3 player in my computer?
[07:42] <soldats> Sonja, how big is your mp3 player
[07:42] <Sonja> 1 gig
[07:43] <jlulian38> It looks like the kernel is ignoring your mp3 player
[07:43] <cgreer> sethK, any quick tips about how to search for what I need when using wireshark?
[07:43] <Sonja> or slightly less
[07:43] <Ziroday> Flynsarmy: yes, in particular what are you looking at?
[07:43] <soldats> Sonja, it doesnt look like its showing a 1gig drive
[07:43] <sethk> cgreer, start with the obvious:  connecting to the same ftp server, using the same username and password.
[07:43] <cgreer> I'm slightly lost looking at all of these packets I assume
[07:43] <cgreer> k
[07:44] <Polysics> hi all
[07:44] <cgreer> (they are packets right? ;))
[07:44] <jlulian38> filter it with the default filters down to just FTP
[07:44] <jlulian38> I think
[07:44] <Polysics> what do you use to admin mysql on ubuntu?
[07:44] <cgreer> k
[07:44] <Polysics> phpmyadmin isn't available
[07:44] <Sonja> so i have to go to windowsxp to load music onto my portable mp3 player?
[07:44] <pavs> where are the shadow and passwd file located in ubuntu?
[07:44] <Flynsarmy> Ziroday: I connected using RDP. Windows is now showing perfectly, but i dont' knwo how to get to the server client options page while it's ocnnected. Or if there are any TSC shortcuts
[07:44] <jlulian38> Well
[07:45] <jlulian38> I hope not
[07:45] <jlulian38> try it with Amarok or Exaile or w/e
[07:45] <Sonja> although windows can't read my ubuntu hard drive, probably
[07:45] <soldats> Sonja, maybe try a different usb port. or google the make model for linux compatibility. it should show up in fdisk -l
[07:45] <Sonja> it's samusung yp-u2jb/xac
[07:45] <sethk> Sonja, ext3 drivers are available for windows
[07:45] <Sonja> i was having serious problems until i updated the firmware (using windows and the samsung site)
[07:46] <Sonja> i'll see if amarok is successful
[07:46] <pavs> where are the shadow and passwd file located in ubuntu?
[07:46] <Sonja> what's an ext3 driver?
[07:46] <Rodolfo> berto-: thanks for the tiip :)
[07:46] <bkar> Sonja-> auto display on desktop of mounted FS can be enabled/disabled via gconf-editor
[07:46] <sethk> pavs, /etc, same as all other unix and unix-like systems
[07:46] <berto-> Rodolfo: np.  is that what you're looking for?
[07:47] <pavs> sethk thanks
[07:47] <jlulian38> ext3 is a filesystem
[07:47] <soldats> Sonja, amarok wont work unless its mounted. same as all the players. search around or check the forums. googel samsung mp3 player compatibilty for linux
[07:47] <jlulian38> ext3 driver abstracts the ext3 filesystem to the linux filesystem standard
[07:47] <s0laris> samsung work like a usbstick i think
[07:48] <ooboon2> swuboo: Nope, can't see partitions from live CD :(
[07:48] <soldats> Sonja, sorry i cant help more i need to go to sleep
[07:48] <Sonja> thanks soldats
[07:48] <soldats> np :) hope you solve it soon
[07:48] <Sonja> so i haven't mounted it yet sucessfully yet
[07:48] <Sonja> ifi understand correctly
[07:48] <ooboon2> brb. running grub disk
[07:49] <Sonja> and i need to figure out how to mount it
[07:49] <Sonja> then i can transfer music to it :/
[07:49] <soldats> Sonja, if it gets recognized fdisk -l will show it as a 1 gig disk with  fat32 filesystem so if you ge that far its easy as pie from then on out
[07:49] <soldats> but i need to go ill see you later
[07:49] <soldats> bye
[07:51] <s0laris> when you put it on usb you can see in syslog the device (/dev/....)
[07:52] <s0laris> then mount it with mount /dev/.... /media/some folder
[07:52] <julabask>  hey i need some help, does any one know how to replace all that startup text when i start ubuntu up with a splash screen
[07:52] <Aoshi> some one here use awstats? I need to backup all the stadistics but I don't know where are stored
[07:52] <Aoshi> can you help me?
[07:55] <julabask>  hey i need some help, does any one know how to replace all that startup text when i start ubuntu up with a splash screen basically my computer starts in like verbose mode adn does not find a splash screen i want to fix this
[07:56] <manu_> julabask: you need to add quiet and splash as boot parameters to the /etc/grub/menu.lst
[07:56] <julabask> manu, yea where do i put it in my menu.lst
[07:56] <EADG_> julabask: install startupmanager, or edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and point it to your splash pic.
[07:57] <robinsjostrom> i cant get my ati-video-card to work in ubuntu. I've installed fglrx and set xorg.conf to use "fglrx" as driver. but still doesnt work
[07:57] <julabask> EADG, where do i put the route of my splash pic after the text on the second line
[07:58] <julabask> EADG_, where do i put the route of my splash pic after the text on the second line
[07:58] <fannagoganna> ??
[07:58] <EADG_> julabask: first line if you want.
[07:58] <julabask> okay
[07:58] <oddalot> how do i find azureus as the application when i'm picking it to open torrent files?
[07:58] <manu_> julabask: look for the line that begins with kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-rt root=UUID=80d52d01-8ae0-49
[07:59] <oddalot> like, what dir is the application in? or is that how it works/
[07:59] <julabask> many after or before or instead of the ro quiet splash
[07:59] <julabask> manu after or before or instead of the ro quiet splash
[08:00] <Flannel> oddalot: type 'which azureus'
[08:00] <dopcan> @
[08:00] <fopascual> hello
[08:00] <oddalot> ahh
[08:00] <oddalot> thanks very much!!
[08:00] <dopcan> !help
[08:00] <manu_> julabask: you already seem to have ro quiet splash in the end, your splash should be working. maybe it cant find the spalsh screen image or something
[08:00] <sethk> Aoshi, if you run awstats under strace, you can get a list of every file that it accesses.
[08:01] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[08:01] <sethk> Aoshi, I believe some of them are pseudo files in /sys, meaning you can't exactly back them up, but you can cat them to a text file and back up the text file
[08:01] <julabask> manu_, yea so if i replace the ro quiet splash with the route of the splash screen i want will it fix it
[08:02] <julabask> manu_, or where can i set the route to find the splash screen
[08:02] <EADG_> julabask: install a program called startupmanager, in it you will find options for splash themes, among others.
[08:03] <sethk> Aoshi, You can also capture the awstats output to a file, and back up that file.
[08:03] <manu_> julabask: normally you just need to write splash and it picks it up... i think you shuold install startupmanager as EADG_ is suggesting
[08:03] <doctor_thunder> how do i make the last command i typed pop up in the terminal?
[08:03] <EADG_> doctor_thunder: up arrow.
[08:03] <jlulian38> beat me :P
[08:03] <julabask> EADG_, i have installed that and it still just shows the text or just a blank screen depending on how my menu.lst is configured
[08:04] <jlulian38> or
[08:04] <doctor_thunder> eadg: tahnk you!!
[08:04] <jlulian38> history | grep 500
[08:04] <Aoshi> sethk: We use awstats.pl, If I understand correctly it generate the estadistics at the fly and all the data its stored in the log file
[08:04] <jlulian38> :P
[08:04] <julabask> EADG_, do i need usplash or splashy installed for that program
[08:05] <julabask> EADG_, manu_, do i need usplash or splashy installed for that program
[08:05] <EADG_> julabask: you'lle need splash images.
[08:05] <user11_011> !openvnc
[08:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about openvnc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:05] <user11_011> !vnc

[08:05] <EADG_> julabask: and usplash themes. Lemme look at SUM.
[08:06] <julabask> EADG_, manu_, yea one splash image in there and it does not show it after the  initrd line i have quiet under it i assume that should be their
[08:06] <julabask> EADG_, manu_, well i am not using a usplash theme i am just using a .png photo
[08:07] <EADG_> julabask: you will need to check the box named "show boot splash" in SUM.
[08:07] <julabask> EADG_, manu_, i think my problem is that i have a 1200X800 res monitor is their a vga code i should use for that maybe the
[08:08] <julabask> EADG_, manu_, it is checked
[08:08] <EADG_> julabask: vga=791 iirc is for 1200x800
[08:08] <ThipThip> I am having serious problems with make.
[08:08] <ThipThip> anybody out there?
[08:08] <manu_> julabask, does your default spash screen work? or are you trying to install a custom splash screen?
[08:09] <EADG_> julabask: there are color restrictions on splash images... limeted to 8 or 16 colors... something wierd.
[08:09] <ThipThip> Every time I try to use make, I get an error message that leads me to believe that somehow, a flag (such as -o) is being confused for its own line.
[08:09] <manu_> julabask, the flash image can only be of a certain size and color depth.... i don't know the exact values for gutsy but thats easy to find out
[08:10] <robinsjostrom> why do i get "VGA: Failed to load module "xf4bpp" "
[08:10] <julabask> EADG_, manu_, okay what is iirc i dont have that and the image i have sum does show after the login screen just not before where its just black or a bunch of startup code
[08:10] <bmc_> hey, i am having some big problems with my pc
[08:10] <cgreer> I just got my ftp (command line) to work, would it be possible to write a bash script that uses this cmdftp program to backup my files?
[08:10] <bmc_> it wont boot up
[08:10] <bmc_> it will not boot anything
[08:10] <bmc_> no cd no hd nothing
[08:11] <bmc_> and it is saying something about mbr
[08:11] <EADG_> julabask: iirc - if I recall correctly.
[08:11] <cgreer> Master Boot Record
[08:11] <cgreer> ?
[08:11] <bmc_> yeah
[08:11] <julabask> EADG_, manu_, oh okay shit i put that in the menu.lst im a retard let me fix that
[08:11] <bmc_> i was doing some stuff with mbr on usb drive and i may have mistakenly wrote it to something else in my pc
[08:11] <cgreer> did you just install ubuntu on a newly partitioned drive?
[08:12] <bmc_> no... ubuntu was running when i did this
[08:12] <bmc_> and i was writing an mbr to a usb drive
[08:12] <bmc_> but i think i may have wrote to wrong dev
[08:12] <julabask> EADG_, manu_, is their a reason it shows it after login screen but not before
[08:13] <bmc_> now my pc wont even boot from cd
[08:13] <EADG_> julabask: have you seen a splash screen before?
[08:13] <misslecommander> using nVidia card, all looks fine, but when i try to enable 3d accell i get something liek nvidia-glx-new, and it fails to enable
[08:13] <EADG_> julabask: ... before trying to use your new image?
[08:13] <marshall> lol my deskbar crashes a lot
[08:13] <Yancho> does this cron mean act every 6 hours : 0 */6 * * * ? thanks
[08:13] <marshall> i really hate the way it is in gutsy
[08:13] <bmc_> anyone have any advice?
[08:14] <robinsjostrom> hey guys, my computer wont even run with "vesa", it says "screens found, but no usable configureation" what could be wrong?
[08:14] <julabask> EADG_, manu_, i think my first start up did then i tried out some custom ones and only showed them after login

[08:14] <ThipThip> I'm so sick of not being able to make.  It's really putting a damper on my (2 day old) ubuntu experience
[08:15] <julabask> EADG_, manu_,  though i did notice it show them before on my external monitor but left my laptop one blank
[08:15] <bmc_> anyone have any ideas?
[08:15] <Invert314> where do i go to find alternate ubuntu repos? i searched google and official forums without sucess
[08:15] <manu_> ThipThip: have you installed the package build-essentials?
[08:15] <astro76> lastlog ThipThip
[08:15] <Tyczek> is there any chance to play m4a files under mpd?
[08:15] <misslecommander> try using default partition type etr3 or something like that, i did it, and it worked for me
[08:15] <EADG_> julabask: I'm out of ideas ;/
[08:16] <ThipThip> manu_ yes I have.  However I continue to get strange error messages.
[08:16] <astro76> ThipThip: I know what it is
[08:16] <ThipThip> astro: I don't know what lastlog means :-)
[08:16] <julabask> oh okay well thanks maybe i have some thing interfearing with it
[08:16] <bmc_> imissle, are you talking to me?
[08:16] <astro76> ThipThip: not that ;)
[08:16] <Invert314> ...
[08:17] <astro76> ThipThip: change /bin/sh is a link, it's pointing to dash, change it to point to bash
[08:17] <manu_> julabask: sometimes when there is an error during boot the splsh screen is not shown maybe try and notice if there's any error message when you boot next time
[08:17] <astro76> ThipThip: /bin/sh is a link, it's pointing to dash, change it to point to bash
[08:17] <misslecommander> yes, i had problem where it would start from harddrive, but it would with cdrom in, i reformatted using etr3 or something close, and booted from HD no prob
[08:17] <ThipThip> astro76:  Sounds like a great lead, but I don't fully understand.
[08:17] <misslecommander> it wouldnt initially start from HD only from CD
[08:17] <bmc_> it will not even start from cd
[08:17] <ThipThip> astro76:  /bin/sh is a link where?  And where is it "pointing" to dash?  What does this mean?
[08:18] <astro76> ThipThip: Ubuntu uses dash, but many scripts aren't actually sh compatible and need bash
[08:18] <misslecommander> i press f8 right after power on, and i get boot menu to choose CDROM, for installs
[08:18] <astro76> ThipThip: ls -l /bin/sh
[08:18] <bmc_> it will not start with cd in or out, with cd in and hd unplugged, or anything
[08:18] <ThipThip> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-01-12 05:20 /bin/sh -> dash
[08:18] <bmc_> i chose cdrom from boot menu and it ignores it
[08:18] <ThipThip> is the result
[08:18] <Creed> I am trying to use VI to search, but doing "s/WORD/" just says pattern not found (even for words like "and & the")...can anyone help?
[08:18] <ThipThip> what is dash and what is bash?
[08:19] <bmc_> i royally skrewed it up
[08:19] <ThipThip> I thought bash was the syntax that one uses in terminal
[08:19] <misslecommander> i am sure it can be fixed
[08:19] <astro76> ThipThip: just do this: sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
[08:19] <bmc_> with hd unplugged it doesnt give the mbr error, but it tries to do a network boot?
[08:20] <ThipThip> astro76:  What is ln?  Sorry to bother, but I really want to understand what I'm doing so that I can build some knowledge and eventually be one of the helpers in this channel rather than one of the pests
[08:20] <astro76> ThipThip: ln -s makes a symbolic link
[08:20] <ThipThip> ln: creating symbolic link `/bin/sh' to `/bin/bash': File exists
[08:21] <bmc_> !ot
[08:21] <ThipThip> astro76:  and what are bash and dash?  (and sh for that matter?)
[08:21] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:21] <astro76> ThipThip: the problem is some scripts claim to be sh compatible but really use features only in bash
[08:21] <Cromag> !bash
[08:21] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[08:21] <astro76> ThipThip: dash is a sh comptabile shell
[08:22] <ThipThip> astro76:  OK, I think I understand.  I'll have to do more research on my own.  What do I do about this "file exists" thing?
[08:22] <astro76> ThipThip: remove /bin/sh first
[08:22] <astro76> sudo rm /bin/sh
[08:23] <bobslaed1> Hey. I have a bit of a problem. It seems that the daemon ksoftirqd/1 is using a lot of CPU. What could be the source of this? Almost the only thing i have found googling, is that it is because of a tv-card. And i don't have one of those...
[08:24] <emman> anybody here who could refer me where to find flash for linux?
[08:24] <misslecommander> !flash
[08:24] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[08:24] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[08:24] <Montyous_> why linux is more famous than bsd as a server os, despite bsd is more secure and stable that linux?
[08:24] <ThipThip> astro76:  although /bin/sh is now pointing to bash, I continue to have the same problem.
[08:25] <emman> i need a flash for linux
[08:25] <emman> anyone?
[08:25] <cgreer> flash?
[08:25] <misslecommander> seems as though alot of things are done in terminal screen, reminds me of the msdos days
[08:25] <emman> swf maker
[08:25] <astro76> ThipThip: ok well if you want to change back, do the same two steps but replace /bin/bash with /bin/dash... it won't hurt to leave it, but I guess dash was chosen because it uses less memory
[08:25] <cgreer> ...don't know
[08:25] <BezNalogov> Hi all. Can somebody tell me if there is a way/tool to customise ubuntu in any way that I can implement the same installation with my standards on several machines? Like fe the respin tool on Fedora
[08:26] <emman> macromedia flash to be specific
[08:26] <cgreer> Can I write a script that will automatically copy files (via ftp) to a webserver?
[08:26] <astro76> ThipThip: the other thing to try is to change references to /bin/sh to /bin/bash in your scripts
[08:26] <ThipThip> astro76:  any other ideas about the underlying issue?  check out this error: bcop'ing  : build/3d.xml -> build/3d_options.h/bin/sh: --header=build/3d_options.h: No such file or directory
[08:27] <astro76> ThipThip: not really
[08:27] <ThipThip> astro76:  I could do that.  Although I find it hard to believe that it is the scripts that are broken - it seems like I'm the broken one.  I am using AMD64, is there anything special to be mindful of there?
[08:29] <astro76> not sure
[08:29] <LurkersA> Hey Guys. The sound just stopped on my Gutsy, It says the resource is busy, how do I refresh it or make it unbusy?
[08:30] <astro76> ThipThip: you know it's late and I didn't look at your paste long enough... there definitely looks to be a problem with the script, there's a command missing before the /bin/sh: -o: not found
[08:31] <dessnr> LurkersA: Throw a brick at it!  It won't be so f**cking busy then will it?  No, go into your sound prefs and then click reset sound server.  Wait, are you in Gnome or Kbuntu?
[08:31] <LurkersA> dessnr: GNOME
[08:32] <BezNalogov> Can somebody tell me if there is a way/tool to customise ubuntu in any way that I can implement the same installation with my standards on several machines? Like fe the respin tool on Fedora
[08:33] <neeto> Can someone tell me what libraries or whatever I need for ipod support?
[08:33] <dessnr> LurkersA: OK.  Go into prefs > sound and note down what it is set to for your selected sound.  Then switch the sound to OSS mode, then back to the one that you noted.  See how that goes....

[08:34] <dessnr> LurkersA: Strange.  I've never come across that problem.  Keep asking, perhaps someone else has.

[08:35] <slimjimflim> is there any good reason to have fakeroot installed?
[08:35] <cookie__> hello everybody
[08:35] <cookie__> where is my login script located
[08:35] <misslecommando> lol
[08:35] <astro76> cookie__: repeating won't help, what login script, there are many?
[08:35] <misslecommando> this is gettng ridiculous really
[08:35] <astro76> cookie__: what do you want to do?
[08:35] <dessnr> LurkersA: Go into the sound settings again, but when you click OSS, click OK as though you are going to keep the setting.  Then come back in, and select the default.  See if that works...

[08:36] <dessnr> misslecommando: you are on the internet as we speak here on IRC...
[08:38] <mahout> ne one know how to setup a remote access site from ubuntu?
[08:38] <dessnr> LurkersA: I'll have a look around, give me a min or two...
[08:38] <misslecommando> whats the nVidia update on the auto-update, on the Nvidia-glx-new thing ?
[08:38] <cookie__> where is .bash_profile located
[08:38] <LurkersA> dessnr: Thanks
[08:38] <cookie__> it is not in my home directory
[08:39] <astro76> cookie__: darn it's ~/.profile
[08:39] <astro76> cookie__: ~ is your home directory
[08:39] <cookie__> ok
[08:39] <misslecommando> i cant get the new nvidia thing till my network card is connected to the internet, in which there is no device manager, in which to install a network card, in which i need to get the nvidia update
[08:39] <cookie__> thanks
[08:39] <misslecommando> whew long breath

[08:40] <misslecommando> there must be an easier way to instal drivers, other than having to makefile them, that is ridiculous

[08:40] <astro76> mahout: apache
[08:40] <misslecommando> i may as well solder together a videocard from scratch, than to do all this typing for nothing

[08:40] <mahout> astro76: thnx
[08:41] <misslecommando> is there any type of device manager in ubuntu, the add/remove is senseless, and the network section of administate is of no help?
[08:41] <dessnr> LurkersA: I have no idea, I was hoping you knew that part.  Let me go into dev/dsp and have a look...
[08:42] <misslecommando> no automation of device settings/install ?
[08:42] <bentob0x> how can I control the time a given user on my machine is allowed to use the machine?
[08:42] <Smegzor> I need to do a ping test to a remote server, but i want to test a specific port.  How do I do that?  I only know how to ping the ip.
[08:42] <astro76> Smegzor: nmap
[08:42] <s0laris> nmap
[08:43] <LurkersA> dessnr: Thanks
[08:43] <Smegzor> thanks
[08:43] <misslecommando> namp is picked up by some antivirus software, but works wonderful
[08:43] <sethk> Smegzor, you can also use telnet with a port override to have a conversation on any port.  nmap is fine for discovering whether the machine is listening on a port.
[08:43] <s0laris> who need a antivirus?
[08:43] <s0laris> lol
[08:44] <misslecommando> ok
[08:44] <misslecommando> i need a way to install drivers, other than this senseless 3 million step install methods
[08:44] <dessnr> LurkersA: I don't think this is the way that we should go actually.  This fix does not work for everybody by the looks of it.  Let me look for an alt.
[08:45] <misslecommando> i fmay as well prgram the dirvers myself if i need to go compile everything i install, makes absolutely no sense
[08:45] <sethk> misslecommando, there is no need to compile anything
[08:45] <astro76> misslecommando: if you want help repeat your question, because the only thing I see in my /lastlog is complaining
[08:46] <sethk> misslecommando, although, for the record, I write device drivers, and it takes three months to write one and three minutes to compile one.
[08:46] <LurkersA> dessnr: Thanks
[08:47] <misslecommando> seth wrong choice of words, but the typing and manual install of everything is quite lame
[08:48] <misslecommando> i download a driver, there is 200 things you need to type in terminal to get it to work
[08:48] <misslecommando> there must be ab easier way
[08:48] <astro76> misslecommando: for almost everybody there's no manual install of anything
[08:48] <astro76> misslecommando: #ubuntu-offtopic is available if you want to rant
[08:49] <ooboon2> I'm back
[08:49] <zetheroo> I am trying to get aMSN to stay in the notification area when I close the window.... is this possible?
[08:49] <misslecommando> you can tell me that most people dont need manual install, yet, there is no device manager of any sort that i can find, that was my question
[08:50] <astro76> misslecommando: I meant your actual problem
[08:50] <ooboon2> Is anyone here famiilar with bootloaders and MBRs?
[08:50] <misslecommando> there must be an easier way to install the device drivers i download fromt he sites, that tell me they are for the version of linux i use
[08:50] <ooboon2> Because I can't access anything on my computer :( When I boot my comp, it says "NTLDR is missing"
[08:51] <misslecommando> i download the files, (.deb) but there is no device manager, my videocard driver ended up in restricked section for some reason
[08:52] <bobslaede> I have an issue with the daemon ksoftirqd on my dual core CPU, ksoftirqd/1 runs wild, while ksoftirqd/0 runs normal, at almost 0%CPU
[08:52] <misslecommando> only way i can udate the video drvier is manual install of netcard driver, which is quite ridiculous
[08:52] <misslecommando> i think i got out what i need to say. its a 3 way problem, that is quickly making me think on trashing the idea till they come up with a better version of linux
[08:52] <dessnr> LurkersA: Have you got easyubuntu installed?  Not that it matters, because it seems that there is no promising fix for this problem.  I would stick around and ask for a while.  Hopefully somebody will have a fix for it....
[08:53] <zcat[1]> misslecommando: have you tried just using 'restricted drivers' in the admin menu.. ? usually it will tell you if you need drivers, you tick the box and it will go find them and install them for you
[08:53] <astro76> misslecommando: so is that the problem after filling another screen with complaining, your network card doesnt' work?
[08:53] <white_eagle> please, if anyone of you has an ATi xpress 200m graphics card, copy xorg.conf so I can compare it to mine, because I have some problems
[08:53] <white_eagle> and send it to me
[08:53] <LurkersA> dessnr: No, not EasyUbuntu. Is it software?
[08:54] <dessnr> LurkersA: No, it's a cut down version of Ubuntu as far as I know.  Like xubuntu...
[08:54] <LurkersA> dessnr: Ah.
[08:55] <dessnr> is there a page where we can see what vid cards are supported by gutsy?
[08:56] <astro76> !hardware
[08:56] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection
[08:57] <misslecommando> i already tried that
[08:57] <misslecommando> it brings me to a debug/report page
[08:57] <misslecommando> that is of no use to me
[08:57] <zcat[1]> misslecommando: if you have a .deb, you just double-click it to open it .. kinda like what to do when you download an .exe installer in windows?
[08:58] <misslecommando> main question where is the device manager for ubuntu ?
[08:58] <white_eagle> if anyone of you has an ATi  graphics card, copy xorg.conf so I can compare it to mine, because I have some problems
[08:58] <white_eagle> and send it to me
[08:58] <zcat[1]> misslecommando: linux doesn't work like that.. it's not windows
[08:58] <dessnr> astro76: Thanks
[09:00] <sethk> actually, both gnome and kde have the equivalent of device manager.  Bt zcat[1] is essentially correct, because it won't help him.
[09:00] <misslecommando> what is that called ?
[09:00] <mavi-> misslecommando: what card do you have?
[09:00] <zcat[1]> sethk: they don't have the kind of device manager where you can click 'reinstall drivers' like in windows...
[09:00] <misslecommando> i dont see any good way to look at all my hardware, not just the one
[09:01] <mavi-> when the graphics card talk about restricted driver, that means its a non-free driver
[09:01] <mavi-> misslecommando: you use command line for that
[09:01] <misslecommando> RalinkRT61 chipset
[09:01] <sethk> misslecommando, kinfocenter
[09:01] <sethk> for kde, anyway
[09:02] <sethk> zcat[1], that never works for me in windows anyway  :)
[09:02] <mavi-> isnt that a wlan card?
[09:02] <misslecommando> non-free ? you mean money ?
[09:02] <white_eagle> no
[09:02] <white_eagle> it means non open-source
[09:02] <sethk> misslecommando, no, meaning you don't have all the source
[09:03] <ooboon2> Hello, my name is ooboon2 (librustralia and veganarkismo yesterday). I was wondering if anyone here could help me out, I've got an urgent problem. I have a 30gb windows partition and a 125GB linux partition. The 30GB windoze partition always came up with the BSOD when i tried to boot into it so yesterday I decided to fix it since I needed to use a program in windows. I came to this channel for help and someone said I should u
[09:03] <ooboon2> se the "fixboot c:" command. I did that and when I rebooted, it said "NTLDR is missing" and I couldn't access either my windows or ubuntu partition.
[09:03] <misslecommando> yes WifiDocs/Device/Linksys WMP54GX
[09:03] <zcat[1]> non-free meaning 'restricted' -- the source code is locked away somewhere
[09:03] <sethk> ooboon2, fixboot is windows, so don't blame us.  :)
[09:03] <mavi-> misslecommando: have you tried the guide available at the forums?
[09:03] <ooboon2> nono I'm not blaming anyone
[09:03] <misslecommando> yes, in the ubuntu site, in which i cant connect, in order to get the auto-update, in which i need to get the 3d accel
[09:04] <misslecommando> lol
[09:04] <zcat[1]> unfortunately, if hardware makers won't tell the linux coders how their hardware works, it makes it very difficult to support it.
[09:04] <ooboon2> I was just wondering is there a way to restore the linux installation?
[09:04] <sethk> ooboon2, if you know what the partition sizes are, yes
[09:04] <white_eagle> ?? iso
[09:04] <white_eagle> !iso
[09:04] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[09:04] <sethk> ooboon2, you can set up the partition table and then reinstall grub
[09:05] <misslecommando> thats a great help zcat, thank you
[09:05] <misslecommando> now i know i was chasing a dead duck
[09:05] <sethk> ooboon2, if you don't know the partition sizes it's possible but a lot of work
[09:05] <ooboon2> sethk: How do you set up the partition table?
[09:05] <ooboon2> sethk: I roughly know the sizes, the linux one is 125GB and the windows one is 30GB
[09:05] <sethk> ooboon2, fdisk, as in (as root);   fdisk /dev/hda            or fdisk /dev/sda         depending on which type of disk hardware you have
[09:06] <Sonja> i'm trying to mount my usb mp3 player, but ubuntu is not finding it ;(
[09:06] <white_eagle> does anyone of you has an ati g. card?
[09:06] <mavi-> white_eagle: yeah
[09:06] <zcat[1]> also it would help if you told us what hardware you're trying to get working rather than 'I think I need to do.... tell me how" which might be completely wrong
[09:06] <white_eagle> mavi- can you copy xorg.conf and send it to me via p.m?
[09:07] <white_eagle> i need to compare
[09:07] <misslecommando> zcat, do you think i can take the information from another supported card, that has same chipset, and import it somehow, so that it makes up for the lack of drvier support from the manufacturer?
[09:07] <ooboon2> sethk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52117/
[09:08] <sethk> ooboon2, I'll take a look, but I'm fading fast here.  :)
[09:08] <white_eagle> mavi-,  can you do this for me?
[09:08] <mavi-> white_eagle: pm
[09:08] <ooboon2> sethl: alright, thanks :)
[09:08] <mavi-> oh i need to register first
[09:08] <whiteeagle-mk> yes you need
[09:09] <mavi-> whiteeagle-mk: do /msg nickserv set unfiltered on and you get the link
[09:09] <goodhabit> Hello. I'm looking for scientific applications *like mathcad autocad on win etc.
[09:09] <goodhabit> Advice me please.
[09:09] <sethk> ooboon2, the message you can ignore, it hasn't been relevant for a number of years.  The 1024 limit problem is even fixed in windows these days, and was never a problem in unix
[09:09] <zcat[1]> goodhabit: qcad, perhaps?
[09:09] <sethk> ooboon2, type p, I believe, to print the current partition table.
[09:10] <sethk> ooboon2, as it says, m will list the commands
[09:10] <goodhabit> Also I'm serarching analog for visualstudio (dev. suit).
[09:10] <ooboon2> sethk: ok
[09:10] <ooboon2> sethk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52118/
[09:11] <Tupa> hi, does anybody know if is it possible to know if a person that uses my services (http/ftp) is behind a proxy?
[09:12] <sethk> ooboon2, looks like the windows partition is intact.  I see only swap for linux.
[09:12] <ooboon2> sethk: ahh
[09:12] <sethk> ooboon2, you might try, in windows/dos,     fdisk /mbr
[09:12] <zcat[1]> Tupa: x-proxy-for: headers, perhaps? or scan everyone that connects and see if the IP address runs a proxy ?
[09:12] <ooboon2> sethk: I can't boot into windows/dos though
[09:13] <sethk> ooboon2, there are bootable cd and floppy images floating around the net
[09:13] <Tupa> zcat[1], yes. I want to know if that guy is behind a proxy
[09:13] <ooboon2> sethk: There's this program in Parted Magic that analyses partitions, it said my linux partition is still intact
[09:13] <zcat[1]> Tupa: sometimes the proxy adds a header to the http request ..
[09:14] <Tupa> thanks zcat[1], so it is possible that I don't always know if people are behind a proxy ..
[09:15] <zcat[1]> Tupa: yes.. you only know if the proxy owner set it up to tell you..
[09:16] <alpaco> hi
[09:17] <alpaco> how do I compile a program for debian from a .srpm package?
[09:17] <alpaco> .srpm files are compilable source code, right?
[09:18] <i-martian> offtopic , anyone knows the mod hack for vbulletin forums ?
[09:18] <Javid> mod hack?
[09:18] <i-martian> yeah i just heard about it
[09:18] <gonzoism> i am having a problem with updating. (malformed Release file?)  <--   its also keeping me from installing other software.
[09:18] <Javid> vbulletin is a bloated hunk of crap, can you be more specific? :v
[09:18] <gonzoism> Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/Release  Unable to find expected entry  commercial/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[09:19] <i-martian> called the mod i think
[09:19] <gonzoism> i've spent over an hour searching the net.  anyone know what the problem is ?
[09:19] <i-martian> i'm sorry ti's all i know
[09:19] <Abz> Anybody willing to help for the PPC port, I get it stopping to a _ right after booting live CD
[09:19] <i-martian> i though i might find some one who knows it here
[09:19] <bentob0x> so basically, there is no time management/limitation software on debian/ubuntu?????????????
[09:20] <alpaco> use phpBB instead, it's open source, faster and has more mods
[09:20] <gonzoism> my sources.list is ok i am sure, because the other boxes are working just fine.  and i even tried their sources.list.  this is a brand new install
[09:21] <i-martian> alpaco : working on it  but i'm stuck with vbulletin for now
[09:21] <Flynsarmy> Is there a way to stop the screen brightness going back up to max after about 10 seconds of idle time? Can't it just stay the same?
[09:23] <alpaco> how do I compile .srpm (fedora source code) files in debian?
[09:23] <s0ckan> My homefolder disaperes in avant-window-navigator anyone know why?
[09:23] <Ginks> cd #supybot
[09:25] <ooboon2> Is a linux partition considered a "solaris" partition or a "intel" partition in TestDisk?
[09:25] <s0ckan> My homefolder disaperes in avant-window-navigator anyone know why?
[09:26] <gonzoism> alpaco can you unzip it ?  the compiling part is easy.  i forget how to unzip them though.  have the gui up ?  right click it and see if you can extract it.
[09:26] <gonzoism> ooboon2   swap drives are labeled  linux / solaris  or something similiar  in most partition managers.  even linux partition managers/editors.
[09:27] <ooboon2> gonzoism, thanks
[09:27] <zcat[1]> bentob0x: timeoutd ?
[09:27] <gonzoism> anyone having update problems ?  Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/Release  Unable to find expected entry  commercial/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[09:27] <gonzoism> anyone know the fix.  i'd hate to have to reinstall.  i've spent hours on this.
[09:27] <gonzoism> maybe 5. and i need to take it back tomorrow.
[09:28] <bentob0x> zcat[1]: is that not for tty sessions only?
[09:28] <zcat[1]> bentob0x: no
[09:29] <fanat1k> Hi all. Could somebody help me to find the program for Linux, that could make a base of computers and it's hardware? I need to make an inventory on the work... There is 20 computers with Ubuntu Linux
[09:29] <alpaco> gonzoism: yes I can extract it
[09:29] <zcat[1]> bentob0x: there's no pretty GUI admin tool, but it kicks off GUI users
[09:29] <bentob0x> k going to have a look at it now
[09:29] <bentob0x> have you used it yourself?
[09:29] <Flynsarmy> Anyone know how to get to the Terminal Server Clients's options while it's connected?
[09:30] <zcat[1]> bentob0x: I used to..
[09:30] <bentob0x> kids zcat[1]? :)
[09:30] <gonzoism> alpaco cool.  extract it.  then go in there, and if there is a configure file, you can run, ./configure --help to see any options, and then, ./configure --whatever-options && make && sudo make install   that does it.  i usually use the option ./configure --prefix=/usr
[09:31] <gonzoism> i think i am going to try to reinstall the whole apt system.  anyone done this before ?  is that a super bad idea ?
[09:31] <zcat[1]> Yeah, used to limit them to an hour a day, but we have too many computers here, they used to just swap to a different machine (or dual-boot to windows) to get around it.
[09:32] <zcat[1]> now I just yell at them to do homework or go to bed..
[09:33] <chimp> ok this is an odd question, but where the hell is the pi button on the scientific part of the ubuntu calc program?
[09:33] <tomdavidson> hey there... i need help, I do not have a desktop, like gnome or kde... just cli.  I would like to run a partition tool for raid and lvm managment like the one used in the installer... i cant seem to find any info
[09:35] <chimp> ok either im blind or it doesnt have a pi button
[09:36] <fanat1k> Could somebody help me to find the program for Linux, that could make a base of computers and it's hardware? I need to make an inventory on the work... There is 20 computers with Ubuntu Linux. Maybe smbd could give his base?
[09:36] <gonzoism> tomdavidson   is cfdisk what you are looking for ?
[09:37] <tomdavidson> gonzoism thanks, maybe, i will find out
[09:38] <coskun_diko> hi
[09:38] <Sonja> where do i put the files for an amarok script i d/led
[09:38] <Sonja> what folder or whatever
[09:38] <zcat[1]> chimp: C3
[09:38] <gonzoism> Sonja load it using the amarok menus
[09:39] <chimp> c3?
[09:39] <zcat[1]> chimp: the 'con' pulldown menu..
[09:39] <Xx1337HaXz0rXx> wazup?
[09:39] <chimp> ahhh
[09:39] <chimp> i see
[09:39] <chimp> thanks
[09:39] <chimp> that was driving me nuts
[09:39] <zcat[1]> took me a while to find it :)
[09:39] <chimp> What it CONverting pi from then?
[09:39] <chimp> :P
[09:39] <gonzoism> Sonja might unzip them first if they are zipped.  after amarok installs them, you can delete whatever you downloaded
[09:39] <zcat[1]> 'constant'
[09:40] <chimp> oh yes, much more sensible
[09:40] <Sonja> i unzipped them but there's a whole bunch of files and even subfolders
[09:40] <Sonja> dunno where to store them
[09:40] <ooboon2> My Linux Partition turned into "free space"!!!! argh
[09:40] <Sonja> do they have to be in a special amarok directory or something?
[09:40] <ooboon2> !!!
[09:40] <chimp> I have an exam in 4 hrs, havent slept yet :P things getting a bit crazy
[09:40] <ooboon2> :(:(:(:(
[09:40] <Sonja> chimp take a dexedrine
[09:41] <zcat[1]> zZzZ
[09:41] <chimp> dexedrine?
[09:41] <zcat[1]> I might go sleep now...
[09:41] <chimp> Sonja?
[09:41] <chimp> oh i see
[09:42] <chimp> Nah, im already on modafinil :P
[09:42] <gonzoism> Sonja well, open amarok and install them through the menus.  then after you are done, you can delete everything.  amarok copies them where it needs them.
[09:42] <white_eagle> is there a way somehow to reset ubuntu completely?
[09:42] <white_eagle> from scratch?
[09:43] <white_eagle> is there a way somehow to reset ubuntu completely from scratch without reinstalling again?

[09:50] <Ryuho> thanks :)
[09:51] <mavi-> Ryuho: and scp localfile user@host:remotedir to put files on a remote server
[09:51] <gonzoism> tomdavidson  i would be its the first drive ?  /dev/sda or /dev/hda :)   if you have them bound together as one or something, maybe you can try  cfdisk /dev/super-mega-drive   or you can use it on each individual drive,  cfdisk /dev/hda   cfdisk /dev/hdb
[09:51] <gonzoism> why am i more helpful than anyone in here /

[09:51] <gonzoism> ?
[09:52] <Ryuho> hm it doesn't seem to be working
[09:52] <cryptorchild> ubuntu have GUI "connec to server" app which could bring you an nautilus explorer to copy paste your files from or into remote hosts
[09:52] <Ryuho> it accepts the code..
[09:52] <gonzoism> kaboombob try mount /dev/sdb /mnt  or mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
[09:52] <mavi-> oh thats right
[09:52] <mavi-> you can use the gui to do that

[09:56] <gonzoism> maybe i will reinstall.
[09:56] <gonzoism> i could do that
[09:56] <gonzoism> i'll do that.
[09:56] <user11_011> there was something called as openvnc in feisty . what is it in gutsy? gonzoism

[09:57] <fluxdude> how do you enforce an environment variable across all user shells?
[09:57] <gonzoism> user11_011 what was it used for ?
[09:57] <fluxdude> I have added it to /etc/bash.bashrc but this is not sourced in the user .bashrc so it's useless
[09:57] <user11_011> gonzoism: vnc
[09:57] <fluxdude> how do you manage this type of stuff in ubuntu?
[09:57] <fluxdude> in such a way that an update will not overwrite the /etc/bash.bashrc file as well...!
[09:58] <gonzoism> tightvnc ?
[09:58] <kaboombob> gonzoism how do i find the filesystem my system supports?
[09:59] <gonzoism> fluxdude there is like a profile.d file or something somewhere.  profile.d is what it is on other systems, but i didn't see one on here
[09:59] <gonzoism> kaboombob it is in /proc  somewhere.
[09:59] <gonzoism> in that top level.
[09:59] <fluxdude> there is no profile.d
[09:59] <gonzoism> fluxdude try searching "ubuntu profile.d"  see what method they are using

[10:00] <user11_011> gonzoism: it was called openvnc in feisty is what i know.
[10:00] <gonzoism> kaboombob try cfdisk /dev/sdb  and see if it says it in there.  press q to quit it.  i wouldn't make anychanges if i were you.
[10:00] <kaboombob> gonzoism how do i read the files in /proc
[10:00] <Smegzor> tomdavidson: um..  how?
[10:01] <gonzoism> kaboombob  use the less command or cat them.
[10:01] <Smegzor> I think I've done it before but that was on KDE
[10:01] <tomdavidson> smegzor  actually i run kde ... but im sure gnome does it too. in kde, you are given an option for each or all
[10:01] <kaboombob> gonzoism is it under part type?
[10:01] <Sonja> how do i edit the order of icons on my panel withot dragging and dropping them. i want to see a list i can re-order

[10:17] <dgjones> DosMetros, I would think you'll need to use a livecd to resize your unmounted ubuntu parition to free up some space to start with, maybe then XP will see the free space
[10:17] <DosMetros> ah
[10:17] <DosMetros> i see
[10:18] <dgjones> DosMetros, I've never installed XP after an ubuntu install, so beyond that, I'm not sure how it'll work, other than that you would need to reinstall grub once the install has been done
[10:18] <DosMetros> k
[10:19] <kaboombob> sonja my player isnt meantioned on there at all i think it may be to old
[10:20] <Sonja> come to #anythingbutipod
[10:22] <etfb> Is anyone else having more trouble with USB devices in Gutsy than they did in Feisty?  Or is it just me?
[10:22] <juan> etfb: which device?
[10:22] <cryptorchild> USB runs fine in my Notebook
[10:23] <abuyazan> hello
[10:23] <etfb> An Olympus camera.  It just came back from being repaired for an unrelated fault, and I'd upgraded my Toshiba laptop to 7.10 in the meantime.  Now the cable connecton doesn't work, but it's fine in Windoze.
[10:23] <abuyazan> my screen definition is corrupted when i tried to enable external monitor
[10:24] <abuyazan> and now i have 3 screens on screens and graphics section in system
[10:24] <abuyazan> my current resolution is 800X600 and i cannot fix it
[10:24] <cryptorchild> etfb, strange? did the camera detected on 7.04
[10:24] <abuyazan> i work in HP laptopn
[10:25] <abuyazan> how i can reconfigure my monitor ?
[10:25] <etfb> cryptorchild: Yes - no problems at all in Feisty.  It's like a problem I had with a USB hard drive between Edgy and Feisty.
[10:25] <cryptorchild> abuyazan, to restore default configuration you can use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:25] <Librustralia> HEY EVERYONE! I FIXED IT! :)
[10:26] <Librustralia> (this is ooboon2)
[10:26] <oddalot> w00t
[10:26] <bullgard4> My Consoles do not work correctly. I can log in but after login the text does not go up. How to repair that?
[10:26]  * etfb is impressed that Librustralia fixed something that etfb has never even heard of...
[10:27] <cryptorchild> etfb, sorry I can't help you with your problem
[10:27]  * Librustralia is so happy
[10:27] <oddalot> wait?
[10:27] <cryptorchild> it's hardware issue related
[10:27] <etfb> cryptorchild: Dang.  Any hints on how to diagnose a USB connection failure?
[10:27] <Schamane> hi
[10:28] <cryptorchild> i have Kodak EasyShare, it works perfectly on my toshiba satellite with gutsy
[10:28] <cryptorchild> so i have no clue how to solve yours
[10:28] <cryptorchild> perhaps someone else knows how.. :D
[10:28] <Schamane> does anyone here know, where i can find an howto to create an own pgp keyserver?
[10:28] <etfb> cryptorchild: Well, I solved the hard disk issue by reformatting the drive, so maybe there's a similar trick with the camera. Thanks anyway.
[10:29] <cryptorchild> Schamane, i have heard google know that kind of "howto" ;)
[10:29] <cryptorchild> etfb, worth to try ;)
[10:30] <Schamane> cryptorchild: thx, but just searching for keyserver and pgp howto youl find a lot of howtos with pgp keys of linux packages
[10:30] <Schamane> but not how you can create an own keyserver
[10:30] <Oli``> Is there a button I can hold on boot to stop X starting?
[10:30] <Schamane> i always ask google beofre
[10:30] <Oli``> (off button doesn't count)
[10:31] <bobslaede> Oli``: you can boot into single user mode
[10:31] <cryptorchild> well, ok maybe trying with different keywords give a good results
[10:33] <juan> bobslaede: thats a really bad way of getting x to not start
[10:33] <juan> Oli``: not by default
[10:33] <bobslaede> juan: well, you can always boot into single user mode, disable X, and boot up normally
[10:38] <xukun> can anybody recommend me a SIP client for linux, which I can use with our company's Voip system?
[10:39] <kane77> xukun, ekiga
[10:40] <juan> my computeruses a high load when im using firefox, on a truecrypt home, on an ntfs partition, will adding ram stop this?
[10:40] <xukun> kane77, ekiga is for if you have an account there or not?

[11:04] <ubotu> Information about using IrDA interfaces under Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IrdaHowto
[11:05] <RatThing> For marshall ^
[11:05] <marshall> RatThing: thanks

[11:07] <nanbudh> the nm applet which is installed by default on my xubuntu does not show the wifi signal strength. is there anything i can install for that? in system>network>wireless-connection-properties when i open the list of avalable networks it show "NETGEAR 17%" is this signal strength? if yes then should 17% at least open a page or two?
[11:10] <RatThing> Marshall, there are lots of google pages for infrared and linux. I spent more time scratching my egg-shaped head, than being successful.
[11:10] <marshall> RatThing: lol, ok. thanks :)
[11:18] <ballongen> hey, i get some flickering xvidvideo in totem player and vlc player, whats up with that? running compiz+emerald
[11:20] <alpaco> when there is the "debuild" command, why bother to use checkinstall which is buggy?
[11:20] <alpaco>  why was checkinstall created in first place, when there is debuild?
[11:20] <alpaco> am I missing something about checkinstall and debuild?
[11:21] <VSpike> Is there a generic USB HID driver?
[11:22] <levander> I'm trying to install grub on my MBR from the LiveCD.  When I 'find /boot/grub/stage1' I get the error 'Error 15: file not found'.  Anyone know why that is?
[11:22] <temp0> I have just installed 7.10, during the software update I tried to install the adobe flash plugin for firefox, got an error message about a synaptic already running, but the firefox update apparently thought it completed successfully (gave me a completed dialog).  Now flash is not installed but when I try to install it firefox thinks it is already installed so I can't install it.  how to fix?
[11:23] <dgjones> !brokenflash | temp0
[11:23] <ubotu> temp0: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[11:23] <temp0> will gnash work?
[11:23] <ballongen> aha, when i change to x11 output in vlc, my flickering went away
[11:23] <dgjones> temp0, i use gnash, it works well, but not on every website (i've heard of problems with youtube)
[11:24] <temp0> k I'll try it, thx
[11:24] <alpaco> dgjones: have you tried gnash on youtube yourself?
[11:24] <dr_> anyone know what file to edit to add compiz  to the session manager?
[11:25] <temp0> gnash is not working for me, I want to use pandora.com
[11:25] <dgjones> alpaco, i tried it, some video's worked, others didn't
[11:25] <temp0> sigh

[11:32] <misslecommand> have questions concerning "root"
[11:32] <misslecommand> i run this in terminal-> NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run, then get this as error-> "ERROR:
[11:32] <misslecommand> nvidia-installer must be run as root"
[11:33] <misslecommand> i then try to access root, it then tells me i have no permission. trying to drag the file
[11:33] <misslecommand> over to root gives me a no permission dialog.
[11:33] <misslecommand> i try to run in package program within ubuntu, and when i access the desktop, the
[11:33] <misslecommand> NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run is grayed out, and i cant select it.
[11:33] <misslecommand> i tried what i could to gain permissions to root, but it wouldnt let me
[11:34] <parthan> how many have faced a knotify crashed error when trying to run a KDE app in GNOME?
[11:34] <juan> !sudo
[11:34] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:34] <misslecommand> ok i tried sudo, but not sure if i am using it correctly
[11:34] <parthan> misslecommand, what command did you type?
[11:35] <juan> sudo then whatever the command is e.g sudo ~/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run
[11:35] <juan> for root like access (if the script is doing something weird
[11:35] <juan> sudo -i will be like loging in as root
[11:36] <Switch1> !etiquette
[11:36] <ubotu> Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See (in a private message with the bot, /msg ubotu <keyword>): !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam, !English - and most importantly, use common sense...
[11:36] <misslecommand> i was asked for password after doing sudo -i, i then wanted to type "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run"
[11:37] <misslecommand> it couldnt find file
[11:37] <linux__> hello
[11:37] <juan> it moves your working directory you have to use cd (where the file is)
[11:37] <misslecommand> i put file on desktop, if i right-click quickly after doing "sudo -i" will it work ?
[11:37] <linux__> everyody ~!!!
[11:38] <misslecommand> cd much like old dos ?
[11:38] <harveyd> since the last automatic update my windows drive has disappeared from ubuntu
[11:38] <juan> misslecommand: no sudo -i only applies to the terminal your running commands in
[11:38] <linux__> anybody can help me please?
[11:38] <juan> or konsole (or whatever gnome calls ot) erm yes exaclty the same as dos
[11:39] <juan> !ask
[11:39] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[11:39] <parthan> linux__, ^^^
[11:39] <linux__> ok
[11:39] <unagi> no linux__ you're helpless
[11:39] <unagi> =)
[11:39] <misslecommand> thats helps, as i am familiar with the cd command. ok now i need to know another thing
[11:40] <misslecommand> if i use sudo -i (in terminal) i then can use cd to change to the dir in which "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run" is in, and then run "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run" ?
[11:41] <juan> i think so
[11:41] <misslecommand> progress slow, but i am getting closer :)
[11:41] <misslecommand> i tried some soware package thing in admin
[11:41] <juan> how can i put permisions on a device that doesnt exist at book time
[11:42] <duudii> misslecommand: cd (change directory) to where your nvidia driver is, chmod 777 the driver so its executable, then sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run
[11:42] <linux__> i wan to install these program  -http://handbrake.fr/?article=download
[11:43] <unagi> so then install it linux__
[11:43] <harveyd> so would anyone have an idea why my windows drive (hda1) has suddenly dissapeared from ubuntu?
[11:44] <linux__> how?
[11:44] <unagi> harveyd double check your ntfs-config
[11:44] <unagi> linux__ probably sudo  make, /.configure, sudo make install
[11:44] <linux__> i am new in linux!!
[11:44] <juan> harveyd: is the device still there /dev/hda ? /dev/had1
[11:44] <misslecommand> ok, not familiar with chmod 777. how might i run that like -> "chmod 777 NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run"  ??
[11:45] <juan> isnt it ./.configue , make , sudo make install
[11:45] <unagi> does chmod 777 not work misslecommand?
[11:45] <unagi> probably juan im use to scripts that have instructions
[11:45] <juan> misslecommand: yes
[11:45] <unagi> what the crap is handbrake anyway
[11:45] <harveyd> its in dev ,but its a black background with yellow text
[11:45] <misslecommand> thank you, i will try that
[11:45] <harveyd> checking ntfs-config now
[11:46] <Ronald> Hi, just imported loads of music files into rhythmbox. Almost everything is tagged properly, as this pleases rhythmbox. Now i have a number of files in .dts format which cannot be tagged, anyway to make rhythmbx behave nicer on those files?
[11:46] <harveyd> http://pastebin.com/m6074db05
[11:47] <harveyd> where would I check it? - "The program 'ntfs-config' is currently not installed."
[11:48] <unagi> u say it suddenly disappeared? or it never worked in the first place
[11:48] <juan> chmod is used to CHange permisions, man chmod will be quite discripive, 7=read,write,execute 777 sets this for the owner of the file, group of the file, everybody else
[11:48] <harveyd> ive had read write access to my windows drive since I installed gutsy
[11:49] <harveyd> it disappeared this morning
[11:50] <lfs-livecd> harveyd:check ur systemtools
[11:50] <lfs-livecd> is ntfs-3g installed?
[11:51] <harveyd> yup
[11:52] <lfs-livecd> whats ur fdisk -l o/p?
[11:52] <adir1982> [newb] when i try to start beryl  i loose my title bar in ubuntu how can i fix it
[11:53] <harveyd> 'fdisk -l' doesnt output anything
[11:53] <n2diy> How could I call a sig (txt)file, by random, with Thunderbird?
[11:54] <g0rbeh> Good morning, I booted ubuntu this morning and it seems to have lost all the screen / grahpics cards settings, the x.org.conf still looks fine with all my old things in it
[11:54] <juan> n2diy try the #thunderbird channel (i think its on a seperate server) but id guess you need an extention
[11:55] <g0rbeh> when i look in the the "Screen / resolution" applet it looks like my graphics cards / monitor are now not detected
[11:55] <bod_> does anyone now how to phrase the at command to run amarok at 12:05 pm
[11:55] <lfs-livecd> gorbeh:dpkg -reconfigure
[11:55] <un0p> g0rbeh, what do you mean by "lost all screen/graphics cards settings" ?
[11:55] <g0rbeh> im running at a riddiculously low res
[11:55] <n2diy> juan: thanks, yes it is elsewhere, I'm the only one on it here in IRC
[11:56] <juan> id normally have the server adress to give you but im having problems with my /home
[11:56] <spike> hi, just wondering if someone could comment on this, hardy installer doesnt give me an option to create an encrypted lvm volume. is that expected?
[11:56] <un0p> bod_, at 17:30 <Enter> Amarok /path/to/playlist <Ctrl+D>
[11:57] <juan> spike: is that the alternate installer?
[11:57] <spike> nope
[11:57] <spike> the desktop one
[11:57] <bod_> cheers,,.,. if i dont put a path to the playlist will it just load amarok?
[11:57] <g0rbeh> Hmm I see now its seems my monitor has changed somehow, if thats possible
[11:57] <un0p> g0rbeh, have you tried increasing the res,>?
[11:57] <spike> juan: do I need the alternate one for encrypted / ?
[11:58] <g0rbeh> yeah it works, I didnt expect it to
[11:58] <juan> well unless its marked as an improvment only the alternate installer will have the encrypted, raid, lvm tools
[11:58] <un0p> bod_, well, i dunno how amarok works from the command line -- that's left as an exercise for you :)
[11:58] <spike> ok, will d/l that, thank you
[11:58] <bod_> yer its just amarok,.,. but cheers dude
[11:58] <g0rbeh> But now, for example in nvidia X server settings app the screen is called "CRT-0" not the old name
[11:58] <bod_> amarok is the command
[11:59] <juan> its definatly worth it im using a broken install because i didnt realise how much better the alt cd is
[11:59] <bod_> g0rbeh: r u running compiz?
[11:59] <un0p> bod_, aye, amarok is the command .. but its what switches and parameters to amarok that is unclear to me (and you) :)
[11:59] <harveyd> can I roll back any automatic updates?
[11:59] <VSpike> linux__: it does say that the CLI version is only for advanced users, and there is not a GUI version for Linux.  Are you sure this is the software for you?  What problem are you actually trying to solve?
[11:59] <g0rbeh> bod
[11:59] <g0rbeh> bod_: yes
[12:00] <g0rbeh> used to be detected as "Acer AL1916W" (its still there in my x-config"
[12:00] <bod_> lol,.,. amarok will load a track from the command line by using the path u used earlier,.,. cheers for ur help
[12:00] <n2diy> harveyd: not sure, what happened?
[12:00] <wannadoanything> scim ---> add launcher ------> gnome-main-menu -------command is???

[12:03] <linux__> there is the source
[12:03] <ikonia> wannadoanything: just ask questions calmly nd factually
[12:03] <harveyd> its in fstab
[12:03] <harveyd> UUID=9C90225A90223B62 /media/hda1     ntfs    defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
[12:04] <linux__> but i dont know how to install
[12:04] <n2diy> Sonja: Yes, the tilde means /home/my_directory
[12:04] <Sonja> okay
[12:04] <g0rbeh> bod_:  yup
[12:04] <bod_> harveyd: wot were u using to read write to it b4,.,. ntfs config tool? is it still installed?
[12:04] <misslecommand> progress extremely slow omg
[12:04] <harveyd> its still listed in /media/hda1, but empty
[12:05] <harveyd> i didnt set up anything, it was read/write enabled when I installed gutsy
[12:05] <misslecommand> i can navigate through the "file system" but the  "file system" only. how do i change drive letters ? is that something like hda ?
[12:06] <ikonia> misslecommand: unix does not use drive letters
[12:06] <VSpike> linux__: you didn't answer the question .. are you happy using a command line interface?  Because there is no graphical interface for the linux version
[12:06] <linux__> vspike  !1 you know how to install?
[12:07] <linux__> no
[12:07] <juan> misslecommand: linux mounts stuff into direcories so if you want to access an other drive it needs to be mounted into a directory
[12:07] <juan> !mount
[12:07] <wannadoanything> Sorry, I just want to know what that order。 simdock ->and launcher (i want add"gnome-main-menu") command (i don't know.)
[12:08] <juan> !mount
[12:08] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[12:08] <n2diy> Could I set up Thunderbird to select a random sig file, when I compose a message?
[12:08] <ikonia> wannadoanything: I have no idea what your asking, try to re-phrase it
[12:08] <ikonia> n2diy: I don't think there is a random option
[12:08] <juan> n2diy: probably needs an extention
[12:09] <bullgard4> LupusE: Ich habe auf meinem 2. Rechner in der Kernelzeile 'vga=ask' eingetragen. (Mit 'vga=0x316' bleibt er dunkel.) Ich wähle beim Booten Mode 1 = 80x50 aus. Die Konsolen zeigt mir dann aber nur 80x25 an, und das nur auf einem Teilbereich des Bildschirms.  We can read lowercase too.
[12:09] <juan> harveyd: perhaps an update messed up fstab, the best way to fix is to just add the details of your drive to /etc/fstab see !mount
[12:10] <n2diy> ikonia: , juan I was thinking of  directory ~/sig, with my favorite sigs in it, and call them through a script? Maybe I should be asking this in #bash or #perl?
[12:10] <ikonia> n2diy I don't know if TB supports scripting extenions
[12:11] <n2diy> ikonia: roger
[12:12] <wannadoanything> --> ikonia   I installed a "SIMDOCK" software, but the configuration when they do not know how an icon in the COMMAND, called "GNOME-MAIN-MENU"
[12:12] <cre8torx> hello
[12:12] <ubuntun00b> hello.. I'm trying to add some themes to my irssi installation, but I'm having this incredibly noob problem.. I can't seem to locate the irssi folder.. I find it with /.irssi/ in bash, but that doesnt help me much
[12:12] <ikonia> wannadoanything: you've still not got the hang of not using caps
[12:12] <cre8torx> hi I use IRSSI
[12:12] <ikonia> wannadoanything: launch the commend gnome-main-menu from the command line
[12:12] <cre8torx> what themes
[12:12] <misslecommander> how do i change drives through using terminal?
[12:12] <cre8torx> cd
[12:12] <cre8torx> cd ..
[12:13] <misslecommander> i tried i can only nav through "file system"
[12:13] <cre8torx> cd .. file ext.
[12:13] <ikonia> misslecommander: see http://www.tldp.org for basic "new linux users info"
[12:13] <misslecommander> the ".." ?
[12:13] <VSpike> linux__: well, you can install the command line version if you like.  If you are running the 32-bit version of Ubuntu, just download the binary.  Double-click the archive to open, extract the file.  You will then need to open a terminal and run it from the command line.  The version you need is: Linux CLI (i386 Binary)
[12:13] <juan> !truecrypt
[12:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about truecrypt - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:13] <cre8torx> what folder are you trying to get to maybe i can help
[12:13] <VSpike> linux__: I just tried it and it does work
[12:13] <linux__> ok
[12:13] <un0p> !info truecrypt
[12:13] <ubotu> Package truecrypt does not exist in gutsy
[12:14] <linux__> thank you for you help
[12:14] <cre8torx> I didn't know IRSSI had themes
[12:14] <cre8torx> ?
[12:14] <misslecommander> well i can do one of two things, copy the file to /root, in which permissions dont allow, or cd till i get to another drive where it is located
[12:14] <ubuntun00b> well, it does
[12:14] <ubuntun00b> just check irrsi.org
[12:14] <cre8torx> i use it through terminal
[12:14] <VSpike> linux__: no problem.   I strongly suggest you check out some of the other rippers available for linux like drip, dvdrip, etc.
[12:14] <cre8torx> like BitchX
[12:14] <famo> hoi
[12:14] <ubuntun00b> yeah I do too..
[12:14] <ubuntun00b> But you can theme it through terminal
[12:15] <linux__> i will
[12:15] <cre8torx> you mean chaning your background
[12:15] <cre8torx> in terminal
[12:15] <ubuntun00b> I know how to do it, I just cant find the bloody folder :P
[12:15] <ubuntun00b> nope
[12:15] <ikonia> ubuntun00b: you can change the coours, thats about it
[12:15] <ikonia> colours
[12:15] <ubuntun00b> are you sure? irssi.org states otherwise
[12:15] <sparkybean> missile commander: what, exactly, are you trying to do?
[12:15] <cre8torx> The IRSSI FOLDER would probly be /home/yourname/.irssi
[12:15] <ubuntun00b> and I've just downloaded a theme from there.. with a screenshot, so I'm pretty sure its legit
[12:15] <sparkybean> copy a file to another folder?
[12:15] <ikonia> ubuntun00b: ubuntun00b look at the examples - is't just colours
[12:16] <misslecommander> install video drvier for nVidia in which i downloaded from nvidia site
[12:16] <ikonia> misslecommander: you don't want to do that
[12:16] <ubuntun00b> thanks cre8torx , trying that
[12:16] <cre8torx> GOTO your home folder and type ls -a
[12:16] <duudii> ubuntun00b: .irssi/ in your home folder. To use a theme: /SET theme noob.theme. For more themes, irssi.org
[12:16] <sparkybean> cant help you mate, sorry :D
[12:16] <cre8torx> there's abunch of hiden files
[12:16] <ubuntun00b> ah, the .irssi folder was hidden, ofcourse ;) Found it now.. thanks guyts
[12:16] <bullgard4> The Grub 'kernel' includes 'vga=ask' and excludes 'splash'. When booting I select 'Mode  1 = 80x50. My 6 consoles will then cover only part of the screen and display only 80x25 characters. Knoppix and X use the whole screen area though. What is the reason of this error?
[12:16] <cre8torx> yep
[12:16] <dgjones> misslecommander, use the Nvidia version in Synaptic, its much safer, its less likely to cause you problems
[12:17] <stf> Bleehhh... after many hours wasted, I got usplash to work. Turns out there's an "usplash" package that libusplash DOESNT depend on. sheesh...
[12:17] <ikonia> bullgard4: X and framebuffer are two different technologies
[12:17] <Liquid-Silence> set theme trax
[12:18] <misslecommander> really i dont see why the need for such permissions set on something I installed, i can see if it was a "remote" thing, but this is overboard
[12:18] <AdvoWork> is there a way i can search through the source of files looking for a certain line of text?
[12:18] <ikonia> AdvoWork: grep
[12:18] <cre8torx> yeah
[12:18] <cre8torx> goto line
[12:18] <cre8torx> what editor do you use
[12:18] <ikonia> misslecommander: read the basic docs on ubuntu.com and tldp.org as it's clear your not actually understanding what your doing/saying
[12:19] <bullgard4> ikonia: Yes. But this does not explain that the consoles use only a part of my screen area.
[12:19] <AdvoWork> cre8torx im using vim
[12:19] <misslecommander> i have "file system" and "d" for drives, i can only access "file system" which is getting me pissed off
[12:19] <levander> I'm on the LiveCD.  Firefox is finding web sites fine. But, from the command line, like with nslookup, no name lookups are working.  Anyone know how to fix?
[12:19] <ikonia> bullgard4: I do'nt understand your question
[12:19] <ikonia> misslecommander: mind your lagnauge
[12:19] <cre8torx> me either
[12:19] <ikonia> !language | misslecommander
[12:19] <ubotu> misslecommander: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[12:19] <n2diy> misslecommander: the crackers think the same thing. ;)
[12:19] <dgjones> misslecommander, its an operating system requirement to make sure your system is secure and that viruses or unauthorised applications can't run and ruin your system
[12:19] <cre8torx> vim
[12:19] <cre8torx> to be alittle easier on your reading try PICO
[12:20] <bullgard4> ikonia: Please tell me what part of my question you do not understand. Or do you want me to repeat the whole message?
[12:20] <cre8torx> pico cntl r cntl t  and then look for your file
[12:20] <misslecommander> well, as far as being secure ? its not on the net, so only someone with physical access could even touch it, in that case, any security measure is nearly useless
[12:20] <cre8torx> pico should allready be installed on your system
[12:21] <misslecommander> someone must know how i can change the direcoty permissions so i can just drop the dumb file in the /root and be over with it
[12:21] <sirex`> How can I submit new keyboard layout to Ubuntu, that it would be added to the next Ubuntu release by default.. ?
[12:21] <ikonia> bullgard4 your terminals and framebuffer ?
[12:21] <marshall_> Hello!~~
[12:21] <sparkybean> missile commander:
[12:21] <ikonia> !sudo misslecommander
[12:21] <sparkybean> su
[12:21] <cre8torx> to change your file permissionS??????????
[12:21] <misslecommander> su ?
[12:21] <cre8torx> su
[12:21] <ikonia> !sudo | misslecommander
[12:21] <ubotu> misslecommander: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:22] <sparkybean> go to the terminal, type su
[12:22] <cre8torx> super user is short for su
[12:22] <sparkybean> and then your password
[12:22] <cre8torx> basicaly root
[12:22] <mneisen> Hi, this might seem a dumb question, but how do I update a single package on a text-only ubuntu server? "sudo apt-get upgrade openssh-server" wants to update other packages as well. I prefer the step-by-step approach ... :-D
[12:22] <n2diy> misslecommander: Yes, so, you want to build an inscure linux box?
[12:22] <ikonia> sparkybean: no - that won't work
[12:22] <misslecommander> how is that different than sudo ?
[12:22] <ikonia> sparkybean: there is no pasword set on root
[12:22] <cre8torx> do it
[12:22] <ikonia> cre8torx: no it's not its "Switch User" not "super user"
[12:22] <ikonia> cre8torx: we don't advise people to su
[12:22] <duudii> mneisen: sudo apt-get install <your-package>
[12:23] <cre8torx> well not using irc
[12:23] <cre8torx> i hope
[12:23] <ikonia> cre8torx: no - su - in general in ubuntu is a non-advised practice
[12:23] <mneisen> duudii: install will *update* ?
[12:23] <bullgard4> ikonia: Your question is too short to be understandable for me. Please put your question in a whole sentence.
[12:23] <mneisen> duudii: Okay, there goes the semantics ... :-D
[12:23] <misslecommander> i tried to drag-drop the file into root, it says i dont have permission
[12:23] <wannadoanything> ikonia:  ---------------------no...
[12:23] <ikonia> bullgard4: I don't understand how your asking about framebuffers and terminals - they are totally differnt things
[12:24] <ikonia> wannadoanything: can you stop with the silly responses. Speak in clear english, there is no need for ---------------------------- in your response
[12:24] <cre8torx> if your need file permissions please advise me how you would recomend some one to get around them"?????????????????????????????????????????????????/
[12:24] <ikonia> wannadoanything: as I said that it the best approach to get your self ignored
[12:24] <ikonia> cre8torx: sudo
[12:24] <cre8torx> ok
[12:24] <zappZapp> hoi folks. someone here knows about an issue with alsa where sound is played back too slow and in a very bad quality?
[12:24] <misslecommander> i tried sudo many times, it does me no good if i cant put files into the directories
[12:24] <cre8torx> you still have to use us
[12:24] <unop> bullgard4, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Framebuffer-HOWTO-5.html -- there's a section on supported modes there
[12:24] <cre8torx> su
[12:24] <ikonia> cre8torx: no you don't
[12:24] <cre8torx> lol
[12:24] <ikonia> cre8torx: I'm not laughing
[12:24] <wannadoanything> +application      add this menu to simdock's launcher
[12:24] <bullgard4> ikonia: I am asking why my consoles do not fill the whole screen area and do not display 80 lines as directed.
[12:24] <cre8torx> yeah i know with su
[12:24] <cre8torx> sudo
[12:25] <cre8torx> sudo apt get
[12:25] <cre8torx> what ever
[12:25] <samad909> Lokii-: need help with the partition setup
[12:25] <sparkybean> do sudo mv /path/to/file /root/filename
[12:25] <misslecommander> cre8torx i am well aware of hacks/cracks, i even know some, that is not my concern with something that wont touch the net
[12:25] <wannadoanything> i need command-line
[12:25] <bullgard4> unop: I am hurrying to read it.
[12:25] <n2diy> misslecommander: This isn't Windows, your computer is trying to protect itself, from you.
[12:25] <cre8torx> no shit
[12:25] <cre8torx> sorry

[12:26] <cre8torx> sorry
[12:26] <neopsyche_> hi, how do i install a new theme?
[12:26] <samad909> i need help setting up a ntfs partition to mount as /home
[12:26] <cre8torx> on
[12:26] <neopsyche_> for gui
[12:26] <ikonia> samad909: you don't want an NTFS partition as home
[12:26] <IdleOne> !themes | neopsyche_
[12:26] <ubotu> neopsyche_: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[12:27] <cre8torx> yeah ntfs and ubuntu get along a little better than they used too
[12:27] <misslecommander> windows as it stands, as weak security it is, is much much more user-friendly
[12:27] <neopsyche_> can someone please help me install the file i downloaded from themes site
[12:27] <unop> ikonia, why not? it works fine
[12:27] <cre8torx> windows is Horrible
[12:27] <ikonia> wangwenjie_: I can't see sim-dock in the ubuntu repos
[12:27] <misslecommander> oh it is ? hahaha
[12:27] <neopsyche_> is it possible to get a bar similar to the one in gnome for kde?
[12:27] <ikonia> unop: why not what ?
[12:27] <samad909> ikonia: its like this the user here has 65/220gb of data on home...how would i go about copying the data and stuff
[12:27] <dgjones> misslecommander, look at it this way, you've downloaded a file from the internet and copied it onto your computer, Linux (generally) needs you the user to do something positive to say that you're permitting the file to run, Just because the file is from NVidia, doesn't mean you would want to run it
[12:27] <duudii> neopsyche_: have you tryed drag&drop into your theme browser?
[12:27] <misslecommander> real horrible at least it runs and dont crash ever 2 mins
[12:27] <IdleOne> !ot | misslecommander cre8torx
[12:27] <ubotu> misslecommander cre8torx: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:27] <unop> ikonia, use /home as an NTFS bolume
[12:28] <wangwenjie_> what
[12:28] <unop> s/b/v/
[12:28] <ikonia> samad909: mount the ntfs partition somewhere temp and move off to a better partition
[12:28] <cre8torx> what
[12:28] <neopsyche_> because KDE looks smoother and runs faster on my system.. but i miss the launch bar... and want the bottom bar to be thinner
[12:28] <neopsyche_> hi ikonia
[12:28] <ikonia> unop: because ntfs-3g is not %100 reliable
[12:28] <cre8torx> reinstall your ubuntu
[12:28] <ikonia> wannadoanything: I cannot see sim-dock in the ubuntu repos
[12:28] <cre8torx> get rid of ntfs crap
[12:28] <n2diy> misslecommander: Winders is the biggest computer virus ever written.
[12:28] <bullgard4> unop: The article speaks about supported modes of the framebuffer. I have choosen a supported framebuffer mode (namely '1'). Still, the consoles do not write on the whole screen area. Why?
[12:28] <sparkybean> lol
[12:29] <ikonia> n2diy: windows
[12:29] <n2diy> ikonia: no, winders, thanks :)
[12:29] <ikonia> n2diy: it's called windows
[12:29] <misslecommander> ok, i will say it one more time. this installation of ubuntu does not need one bit security, it is a geek toy, and i dont need a padlock on it
[12:29] <samad909> ikonia: could i resize the 220gb partition and copy the data and again delete the ntfs partition and add that space to the other partition which i copy the data to? is this doable?
[12:29] <family> internet konekt
[12:29] <rgl> hi.  I'm trying to whatch the macbook thin video (http://www.apple.com/macbookair/guidedtour/) but I cannot hear any sound (the x264 codec is installed;  VLC doesn't have sound too).  You guys known how to play this file?
[12:29] <misslecommander> stop messaging me with senselessness about security
[12:29] <ikonia> samad909: thats doable, but not without risk
[12:29] <n2diy> ikonia: by some, not by me.
[12:30] <th0r> misslecommander you're right...you would be much happier in windows
[12:30] <ikonia> n2diy: please speak in english and without deframatory phrases
[12:30] <neopsyche_> ?????????
