[21:09] <kyon> (please ^^:: )
[21:09] <Numlock4045> Y-town: hmm give me a sec.. let me see if i can Download a MP4 and get it to work..
[21:10] <fogobogo> kyon: use the force, luke
[21:10] <Y-Town> Numlock4045: does vlc have a codec search feature within it?
[21:10] <compubomb> i forgot about an update console in vnc running, which was updating some things like apache & php, anyways, how do i tell dpkg to reconfigure all un-configured packages ? is that possible ?
[21:10] <Bruce> whats the command 'find'usage/ trying to find a file call interfaces
[21:10] <erpo> Can anyone recommend a good Apple IIe emulator for Linux? I'm looking for something user-friendly.
[21:10] <kyon> fogobogo, kicking my computer won't work, that bastard resists
[21:10] <Jack_Sparrow> kyon, They would need force mount or go into windows again and exit from there.. twice
[21:10] <Numlock4045> Y-town: i dont think so.. i just downloaded everything from addandremove that anything to do with VLC
[21:10] <erpo> Bruce: /etc/network/interfaces?
[21:10] <fogobogo> kyon: no i mean the --force.
[21:10] <kyon> I just come back from a reboot under winXP in safe mode
[21:11] <Bruce> yes, but trying to learn command 'find' erpo
[21:11] <kyon> fogobogo, oh. much better.
[21:11] <fogobogo> kyon: just try to mount via command line. that should give ya some evil message
[21:11] <Y-Town> Numlock4045: I can also send you the mp4 im trying to play
[21:11] <kyon> fogobogo : it does.
[21:11] <fogobogo> kyon: rest is up to you
[21:12] <Jack_Sparrow> kyon,  sudo mkdir /media/locked-drive then sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/locked-drive -o force  substitute your locked drive for sda1
[21:12] <Numlock4045> Y-town: if you want to do that that would be fine
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> Bruce: you can find using: find / -name interfaces 2>/dev/null
[21:12] <erpo> Bruce: man find is a pretty good way to start. Pay special attention to the section labeled "SYNOPSIS" at the beginning, especially the arguments that don't start with hyphens.
[21:12] <Numlock4045> Y-town: how would you send me the MP4?
[21:12] <kyon> evil message says that "I don't know "--force". go away."
[21:12] <gnutron> Bruce: find /etc/ -iname 'interfaces'
[21:12] <shmuck> wtf is wrong with *.dl.sourceforge.net, it is constantly not responding, some hosts
[21:13] <fogobogo> kyon: cli. type: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdaX /mountpoint
[21:13] <fogobogo> kyon: guess youll need sudo for that
[21:13] <shmuck> HTTP request sent, awaiting response ... nothing
[21:13] <Numlock4045> Y-Town: lol didnt know you could send it that way lol
[21:13] <DarkSotM> how do i edit my xorg.conf? The one I have just says everything is autoconfigured
[21:14] <Y-Town> Numlock4045: yea... thats big lemme see if one is smalleer
[21:14] <kyon> \o/ perfect, thank you very much
[21:14] <zenwryly> ActionParsnip: moving /etc/network/interfaces didn't work
[21:14] <Numlock4045> if you have any music say from Itunes they are all Mp4
[21:14] <nonix4> ActionParsnip: any particular reason for those two as opposed to the kazillion available alternatives? [darn connectivity issues :(]
[21:14] <compubomb> I'm trying to have ubuntu reconfigure unconfigured packages, what do i have to do ?
[21:14] <zenwryly> ActionParsnip: network-manager is still ignoring dhcp
[21:14]  * kyon frantically writing down ancient lore
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> zenwryly: bah, try wifi-radar instead
[21:14] <compubomb> i had to kill a process which died on me, because i left it too long and it was probably pushed into swap and was written over.
[21:15] <nonix4> ActionParsnip: VMs that is
[21:15] <Tanubis> actionparsnip thanks
[21:15] <Numlock4045> so guys im still needing help figuring out how to get diffrent backgrounds on my desktop cube..
[21:15] <zenwryly> ActionParsnip: is there a way I can just manually get the interace activated so I can run dhcp by hand for now?
[21:15] <zenwryly> ActionParsnip: I mean the wired iface
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> nonix4: each has advantages, all i can say is try both
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> zenwryly: yeah, edit the interfaces file with gksudo gedit
[21:15] <kyon> fogobogo, Jack_Sparrow , thanks a lot, goodbye
[21:16] <gnutron> compubomb: dpkg-reconfigure <package>
[21:16] <Jack_Sparrow> take care
[21:16] <nonix4> ActionParsnip: Well I prefer ubuntu packaged kvm... which is based on qemu :)
[21:16] <Numlock4045> Y-Town: lol dont have anything smaller?
[21:16] <fogobogo> kyon: enjoy

[21:19] <strangeseraph> I'm idle for awhile now guys. Thanks for all the help. :)
[21:19] <Y-Town> Numlock4045: I can put it up on my website i guess

[21:21] <meistergrado> What's good about dual-booting over running a virtual box?
[21:22] <Y-Town> Numlock4045: that would probably just be more of a disaster to me...I know i have several mp4 and cannot play any, so its something to do with neededing the proper codec I just dont know what I need... I thought I had everything installed already
[21:22] <SlimeyPete> you get to use 3D acceleration, for a start, meistergrado
[21:22] <thiebaude> meistergrado: you dont have to log out
[21:22] <SlimeyPete> though that's the only major advantage these days I guess - virtualisation's pretty good
[21:22] <Jophish>  is there an open source alternative to autograph?
[21:23] <[aw]> hey, ubuntu wont install on my dell for some reason, im getting a weird error message
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> meistergrado: dual booting you access all hardwrae natively instead of it being abstracted
[21:23] <barduck> how do I resume command that was stopped with ctrl-z ?
[21:23] <Mion> barduck: `fg`
[21:23] <[aw]> timer not connected to IO-APIC
[21:23] <Mion> barduck: also see `jobs`
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> meistergrado: plus all resources are used to run the single OS instead of dividing some off for the vm

[21:29] <Joh_> jack_sparrow, I'll give it a go... can't crash my computer I hope
[21:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Numlock40451, /join #Compiz.. but to do it you lose the icons on your desktop

[21:30] <Joh_> [pq], I can create some by shrinking vista's partition... as soon as I can find out whatever it's called
[21:30] <dreamy> ActionParsnip: u there ? apt cache found mesa... can i have a command to type ? for the mesa?
[21:31] <timahvo1_> after installing mpd I don't get sound from any other app except mpd. running pulse audio. any ideas anyone ?
[21:31] <ubuntu_> and sudo ls -l /media/disk-2/ gives drwxr-xr-x 192 1000 1000<PHONE_NUMBER>-01-12 19:49 james
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> dreamy: i don't think you have to instakll mesa afaik

[21:31] <ActionParsnip> !ati | dreamy
[21:31] <ubuntu_> yes.
[21:31] <Jack_Sparrow> jonathaN, If you create it between sda1 and ubuntu it will cause issues with grub and fstab
[21:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Joh_,  If you create it between sda1 and ubuntu it will cause issues with grub and fstab

[21:33] <minche> hi
[21:33] <torc> Is there an officially supported CD ripping application for ubuntu?
[21:33] <minche> when i try to login as root i get "root logins are not allowed " error
[21:33] <minche> what's that?
[21:33] <ubuntu_> yes (It is actually my /home partition, but anyway).
[21:33] <Joh_> jack_sparrow, I should place it like [vista][ubuntu][swap]?
[21:34] <IndyGunFreak> !sudo | minche
[21:34] <georgy_28> !sudo | minche
[21:34] <nickrud_> torc, sound-juicer, it should be in your sound & video menu as cd extractor
[21:34] <minche> i know that, but i cant unlock folders so i cant use them wiht other aplications :/
[21:34] <ryanCH> i setup dual-heads full desktop with "aticonfig" but one of the monitors doesn't like the refresh rate. i have like 3 different files "xorg.conf-fglrx-0" and "xorg.conf-fgrx-1" and on to #2, witch of these do put the refresh rate into?
[21:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Joh_, yes
[21:34] <[pq]> minche your root account hasn't got a password, if you want to login as root you have to set a password first with "sudo passwd" but it's not the right way to do it
[21:34] <torc> nickrud peculiar; it doesn't show, ah well I'll get it. Thanks
[21:35] <minche> i set it
[21:35] <karllenz87> that wiki on multihead didnt help much
[21:35] <minche> is theer any way to unlock folders then?
[21:35] <Joh_> jack_sparrow, seems easy enough then..., but can I move the empty space I just created around? Because since vista shrinks itself it ends up as [vista][empty][ubuntu]? I don't wanna cripple my install again (happened once)
[21:35] <[pq]> ubuntu_ ok, and what does 'ls -ld /media/disk2/james' tell you?
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> minche: you can traverse folders freely
[21:36] <minche> i tried sudo chown -R but it isnt working :/
[21:36] <nickrud_> minche, what do you mean by unlock?
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> minche: if you want to write to them you need gksudo
[21:36] <nickrud_> minche, and where and what are they?
[21:37] <minche> i know, but i still cant use them wiht other applicaitons, like renamers :(
[21:37] <ubuntu_> ls: cannot access /media/disk2/james: No such file or directory
[21:38] <minche> i want to rename my music collection with easytag
[21:38] <[pq]> ubuntu_ if you sudo that do you get any result? (sudo ls -ld /media/disk-2/james)
[21:38] <minche> first i did it manually with gksudo, but it is just too slow
[21:38] <nickrud_> minche, and where is it located, an external ntfs directory?
[21:38] <minche> when i use easytag i get permission denied :/
[21:38] <[pq]> ubuntu_ if you sudo that do you get any result? (sudo ls -ld /media/disk2/james)
[21:38] <minche> it is /home/user/music
[21:39] <ubuntu_> drwxr-xr-x 192 1000 james<PHONE_NUMBER>-01-12 19:49 /media/disk-2/james
[21:39] <[aw]> hey, ubuntu wont install on my computer, its saying something about IO-APIC
[21:39] <[aw]> how do i fix it?
[21:39] <[aw]> and where do i disable APIC?
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> minche: sudo chown -R user /home/user
[21:39] <nickrud_> minche, sudo chown -R minche:minche /home/music  doesn't work?
[21:39] <nickrud_> erm minche /home/user/music that is?
[21:40] <hornet141> APIC ? mayby ACPI ?
[21:40] <minche> "no such file or directory"
[21:40] <nickrud_> minche, what's the user's username?
[21:40] <[pq]> ubuntu_ oh ok just wrote wrong disk2 then. But you shouldn't be able to see group "james" from live cd. What are the entries for james in /etc/passwd and /etc/groups on your root disk?

[21:42] <[pq]> ubuntu_ you created user from live cd? That won't work. You have to look for uid and gid on your /etc/passwd and /etc/groups in your main disk (suppose /media/disk-1 or so)

[21:48] <ActionParsnip> xanxor: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/image.iso

[21:48] <Devedse> someone know if there is a way to use multiple mices/pointers on ubuntu?

[21:49] <Y-Town> ActionParsnip: I alre4ady installed the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" package
[21:49] <ubuntu_> [pq],  It claims to not be able to log in to my home directory. Even when I log on to tty2 it sets $HOME=/
[21:49] <IndyGunFreak> smartguyz: just download the .deb file form adobe.com
[21:50] <ronhalfdanr> gnutron: running now
[21:50] <Jack_Sparrow> xanxor, Copy protected disk?
[21:50] <xanxor> Jack_Sparrow: using the dd if/dev/cdrom thing
[21:50] <xanxor> don't tihnk so
[21:50] <xanxor> it's a CD-R though, does that make a difference?
[21:50] <Devedse> someone know if there is a way to use multiple mices/pointers on ubuntu? (or maybe its an idea to make it)
[21:50] <ConstyXIV> Is MonoDevelop a good enough C++ IDE, and are it's .sln's compatible with MSVS?

[21:51] <psycose> hi, i'm working on an ubuntu package called libflorist2008, that provide a shared library. This shared library got lot's of unresoved symbols and is not usable i'm looking for help trying to solve this problem ...
[21:51] <Jack_Sparrow> xanxor, Should not be an issue
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> Y-Town: have you installed all medibuntu codecs?
[21:51] <[pq]> ubuntu_ it is possible that your home drive is not mounted at all?
[21:51] <xanxor> okay, I'll try the rescue thing.
[21:51] <[pq]> ubuntu_ maybe it's a problem with /etc/fstab
[21:51] <Jack_Sparrow> xanxor, I am burning a disk as we speak..  so one sec
[21:51] <Devedse> smartzguy, you can also search for the restricted .... package
[21:51] <xanxor> this should all be done with the disc unmounted, right?
[21:51] <Devedse> in install at applications or so
[21:51] <yakuz> how to add openoffice extensions?
[21:51] <xanxor> that's what the tutorial I found said.
[21:51] <ronhalfdanr> ok, traced the router, now how do I see what ports it had open or blocked?

[21:52] <Y-Town> ActionParsnip: Which package is that one so I can check?
[21:52] <ubuntu_> [pq], I think I found the problewm
[21:52] <ubuntu_> problem
[21:52] <[pq]> ubuntu_ what does it is?
[21:52] <gnutron> ronhalfdanr: install nmap
[21:52] <Jack_Sparrow> xanxor, Hold for just a couple minutes.. if it is mounted can you right clicjk the drive icon and create image
[21:52] <ronhalfdanr> apt-get install nmap?
[21:52] <xanxor> No.
[21:52] <gnutron> ronhalfdanr: 10-4
[21:52] <xanxor> that option doesn't appear.

[21:52] <smartguyz> Devedse: I am using quick synergy for multiple computers ubuntu/windows
[21:53] <ronhalfdanr> then run nmap gnutron?
[21:53] <Y-Town> ActionParsnip: here is what i installed "sudo apt-get remove gnash gnash-common libflashsupport mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla && sudo apt-get install alsa-oss faac faad flashplugin-nonfree gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-pitfdll libavcodec-unstripped-51 libmp3lame0 non-free-codecs sun-java6-fonts sun-

[21:53] <xanxor> I'm installing ddrescue to see if that helps.

[21:54] <smartguyz> seeking help to get flash working in ubuntu 8.04
[21:54] <IndyGunFreak> smartguyz: i told you, just download the ubuntu .deb file from adobe.com
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> Y-Town: try: sudo apt-get install w64codecs
[21:54] <ubuntu_> [pq], my Home (disk-2) was 644. however /home (the live CD) was 755. Once chmod 755 ... I created a user that can access /media/disk-2/james, cd into it and do a ls of it.
[21:55] <Lunar_Lamp> I'm getting occasional weird screen corruption issues that only clear with a reboot (not with a restart of X). Things look like this: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3121/3180780732_ab93cc0589_b.jpg They do not appear to be linked with system temperatures - does anyone have any hints/suggestions?
[21:55] <Y-Town> ActionParsnip: since im on 32 bit that would be w32codecs right?  If so its already installed
[21:55] <ronhalfdanr> ok, nmap installed..........what I'm trying to find out is if the router is blocking the ports used by my GE Skype phone
[21:55] <Jack_Sparrow> xanxor, right click the disc icon on your screen click copy create image and not burn an copy
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> Y-Town: indeed
[21:55] <[pq]> ubuntu_ that's it, x permission on directories should be granted in order for you to traverse them
[21:56] <xanxor> Jack_Sparrow: like I said, that option does not come up when I right click,.
[21:56] <gnutron> ronhalfdanr: nmap ip-address
[21:56] <Numlock40451> smartguyz: go to the flash website and download it for ubuntu
[21:56] <Jack_Sparrow> xanxor, Do you have cd icon on your desktop
[21:56] <Numlock40451> whoa woops
[21:56] <undadecor> What PIMs do people use with GNOME?  I've tried Evolution, Thunderbird, Osmo, and abook and am looking for some others to try out.
[21:56] <[pq]> ubuntu_ permissions on directories should on most cases be expressed by odd numbers
[21:57] <Y-Town> ActionParsnip: here is the howto page I used and did as instructed.. Everything seems to work just fine but no mp4 playing ability http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683&highlight=howto+multimedia
[21:57] <ronhalfdanr> um, which ip address gnutron?
[21:57] <Numlock40451> anyone here a gamer? i have a game ?? for you
[21:57] <xanxor> Jack_Sparrow: hang on, just trying it with dd_rescue. I'll try yours if that doesn't work. thanks.
[21:57] <kek> undadecor: gtdtiddlywiki?
[21:57] <gnutron> ronhalfdanr: the router ip, probably <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:58] <Numlock40451> ok well how about this is anyone here familar with wine?
[21:58] <[pq]> ubuntu_ happy for you if it works now. Goodbye!
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> Y-Town: looks ok, i'd check the !medibuntu factoid

[21:59] <Grenyaris> I need help with a quick bit of info...in windows, you can make a link that executes your default email program and pre-populated the TO and SUBJECT fields...is there a way to do this in Ubuntu?
[21:59] <Y-Town> ActionParsnip: got a link?
[21:59] <kek> What are the correct permissions for /var/mail?
[21:59] <gnutron> ronhalfdanr: sounds like the wrong ip, what is your current ip address, world routable or a subnet?
[21:59] <ronhalfdanr> wait, router is <IP_ADDRESS> not .0.1

[22:01] <gnutron> smartguyz: did you get any prompts installing the adobe cersion?
[22:02] <gnutron> smartguyz: did you get any prompts installing the adobe version rather.. install it in a terminal
[22:02] <Numlock40451> Smartguyz: your still trying to get flash to work correct?
[22:02] <smartguyz> ubuntu .deb I have the file installed not working....
[22:03] <energY> I have just installed Kubuntu 7.10, can I upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10?
[22:03] <Numlock40451> smartguyz: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[22:03] <Jack_Sparrow> energY, 8.04 first
[22:03] <Chilired> is there a apt resource for webmin?
[22:03] <Rabbitbunny> trying to install 8.04-server to a virtualboxVM, host is 8.10 desktop. install runs fine, boot produces 'please use kernel appropriate for your cpu' complaint. Hints?
[22:04] <Rabbitbunny> energY: google dist-upgrade
[22:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Chilired, Webmin and ebox both have issues
[22:04] <energY> Jack_Sparrow: How do I make it Ubuntu?
[22:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !webmin
[22:04] <smartguyz> gnutron: no
[22:04] <energY> !ebox
[22:04] <Jack_Sparrow> energY, I dont understand the question, Are you running 7.10 ubuntu now
[22:04] <Chilired> excellent, thanks Jack_Sparrow
[22:04] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[22:04] <ronhalfdanr> ok, ports above 1024 not all open, any idea how to fix that?
[22:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !iptables
[22:05] <kek> nickrud_: thanks, and the ownership?
[22:05] <darren_> hi guys is any one using 8.10 on eeepc 900 or similar?
[22:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !eee
[22:05] <nickrud_> kek, root:mail
[22:05] <BlackDalek> My external USB sound card stopped working. I don't know when it happened. I haven't used it for about 2 months. It just generates an error now and shows up as something different in Sound Preferences. It used to just say USB Audio codec, now it says Burr-Brown from TI and won't work at all. What happened? How do I get it working again?
[22:05] <Rabbitbunny> !vbox
[22:05] <ronhalfdanr> skype wants 23399 open
[22:05] <gnutron> smartguyz: whats the problem actually.. have you tried configuring the router with http://<IP_ADDRESS>  [?]
[22:06] <kantlivelong> hey all.. i have 2 mics.. how can i either merge both mics to the same dsnoop or have seperate dsnoops per mic?
[22:06] <shmuck> nvidia driver will allow dual display?
[22:06] <darren_> cheers jack but at this point i would prefer to talk with some one who is using one?
[22:06] <energY> Jack_Sparrow: Kubuntu 7.10.
[22:06] <kek> nickrud_: thanks
[22:06] <Jack_Sparrow> energY, upgrade as normal then  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[22:06] <incadudeF> hey i connected my laptop to my HD TV with an s-cable and now it messed up my resolution on my laptop. How can i fix it?
[22:06] <The_Joe_> whoops
[22:07] <Jack_Sparrow> energY, You can switch between them or remove kubuntu-desktop as you see   fit
[22:07] <Grenyaris> Windows uses mailto: in a desktop icon to execute the email (with pre-populated TO and SUBJECT fields) does Ubuntu have anything similar?
[22:07] <Sinnerboy> darran_ Got 8.1 running on an Acer Aspire all ok except wireless a bit tricky to set up
[22:07] <energY> Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu-desktop will give me the ubuntu networkmanager? I hate knetworkmananger!
[22:07] <Jack_Sparrow> energY, You would select which you wanted under options where you login
[22:07] <gnutron> smartguyz: you need to configure your router to forward that port to the appropriate box.
[22:07] <sirius32black> Hi all
[22:07] <nickrud_> darren_, try #ubuntu-eeepc
[22:07] <kek> nickrud_: it was set to root:man for some reason on my system.
[22:08] <nickrud_> heh. Weird.
[22:08] <Rabbitbunny> Grenyaris: Yes, those links still work.
[22:08] <Jack_Sparrow> energY, You  should havbe everything you need
[22:08] <compubomb> how do i roll back my version of php from 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.4 to 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3 ?
[22:08] <darren_> nickrud_ cheers dude
[22:08] <compubomb> that incrimental update seems to have screwed up my apache server
[22:09] <nickrud_> compubomb, jaunty is in #ubuntu+1
[22:09] <|unjustice|> In terminal, what directory do I add a host address of a server so I can log in via SSH?
[22:09] <nickrud_> compubomb, sorry, that's not jaunty ;)
[22:09] <fedfan> brother makes and .rpm driver and i dowloaded it, but xsane doesn't support it on the backend, so i guess i have to list it on .dll config?
[22:09] <compubomb> nickrud_: ?...
[22:10] <CaptainMorgan> !update
[22:10] <nickrud_> compubomb, misread the version of php you had
[22:10] <morphatic> suddenly when I log into my ubuntu server (7.10) via ssh, and try to run "sudo pico filename" it doesn't open the file, just returns back to the next line.  any ideas why?
[22:10] <Chilired> installing ebox I am running into a dependdance issue libapache-authcookie-perl is not available (I am running apache2)
[22:10] <|unjustice|> ubottu: add host addresss
[22:10] <compubomb> nickrud_: how do you rollback a version ?
[22:10] <compubomb> have any ideas ?
[22:11] <gnutron> morphatic: try nano, its a clone of pico, which doesn't exist on ubuntu
[22:11] <pdtpatrick> compubomb what are you trying to roll back?
[22:11] <nickrud_> compubomb, it can be done, if you still have the old php packages in /var/cache/apt/archives
[22:11] <compubomb> pdtpatrick: the version of php i have.
[22:11] <compubomb> i'll look
[22:11] <al_capone> !nano
[22:11] <gnutron> |unjustice|: ~/.ssh/
[22:11] <morphatic> gnutron: same result (btw, I do have pico installed on my ubuntu box)
[22:12] <morphatic> gnutron: ie it just goes to the next line without opening up the editor
[22:12] <kek> is there unicode capable text mode mail program that works out of the box? mutt, mailx or emacs' rmail does not seem to have reasonable defaults.
[22:12] <kek> mail client, i mean
[22:12] <kek> mua
[22:12] <Myrtti> kek: alpine?
[22:13] <Azzmodan> How can I change a package so it is no longer considered to be "auto removable"?
[22:13] <morphatic> it does open up the editor if I just do "pico filename" or "nano filename" but then I can't save the files b/c I didn't run them with sudo...
[22:13] <Azzmodan> morphatic, does "sudo su" work?
[22:14] <gnutron> morphatic:  is /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts identical in hostname?
[22:14] <kk> help me
[22:14] <Azzmodan> !help help
[22:14] <Rabbitbunny> !help > kk
[22:15] <kk> configure kaffeine plugin pls
[22:15] <MNZ> hi, I'm trying to set up an intel wifi card. I've loaded the right modules but I still can't get the device in ifconfig
[22:15] <nickrud_> compubomb, it looks like 2ubuntu5.3 is still in the package pool; dpkg -l '*php5*' | grep ^ii to get a list; sudo apt-get install php5-<stuff>=5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3 , for each installed package
[22:16] <morphatic> Azzmodan: what is su?  running "sudo su" just returns me to the next line
[22:16] <Peteed> Is this correct "In Linux all that need be running is the Linux Kernel and the command line interface e.g bash"?
[22:17] <fogobogo> morphatic: man su
[22:17] <nickrud_> !sudo | Azzmodan morphatic sudo -i is preferred over sudo su
[22:17] <kk> skystar2 is configuration ok
[22:17] <Rabbitbunny> morphatic: try your sudo pico line again.
[22:17] <ty> is bz2 more compressed than gz?
[22:17] <ty> archive types
[22:17] <MrElendig> yes
[22:17] <kk> is ok
[22:17] <davidbarry> I've got a problem with a new harddrive I've installed in my ubuntu 8.10 desktop.  I installed the harddrive and formatted it ext3 with gparted.  After formatting the drive I mounted it.  Once mounted I'm unable to write to the drive unless I have root permissions.  Can anyone tell me how I can mount this drive(/dev/sda2) with read/write permission for my user?
[22:17] <MrElendig> but alot slower
[22:18] <Numlock40451> is there something you can download that scrambles text when you type on your screen so prying eyes cant read it?
[22:18] <fogobogo> MrElendig: traitor
[22:18] <ty> ok
[22:18] <morphatic> gnutron: not sure what you mean.  running hostname gives me the name of the host but no references to the files you mentioned.
[22:18] <MrElendig> fogobogo: trolltor
[22:18] <MrElendig> :p
[22:18] <morphatic> Rabbitbunny: no joy
[22:18] <ty> MrElding: thanks, l8r
[22:18] <morphatic> fogobogo: of course, thanks
[22:18] <kk> cccam
[22:19] <gnutron> morphatic:  if /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts are not i've heard sudo may not work. never had the issue myself.
[22:19] <gnutron> morphatic: they must be 'identical' i omitted that word, sorry
[22:19] <enzo> i have problem, i have a webdav server on my linux, i can access it from a XP SP3 box, create directories/delete some, but impossible to read a single file, any idea ?
[22:20] <morphatic> gnutron: ah, that may be the problem.  they are not
[22:20] <gnutron> morphatic: cat /etc/hostname and cat /etc/hosts  adjust accordingly
[22:21] <kk> bye good night
[22:21] <fogobogo> nite
[22:21] <gnutron> morphatic: thats gonna be a problem without sudo though
[22:22] <morphatic> gnutron: I just added a new virtual host to my httpd.conf.  does this problem have anything to do with that?
[22:22] <kk> remote assistans for me ???
[22:22] <nickrud_> morphatic, he doesn't mean that they should be identical exactly, but that you have a line <IP_ADDRESS> <hostname> where <hostname> is the same as the contents of /etc/hostname
[22:22] <Chilired> has anyone managed to install ebox in ubuntu server 8.10
[22:22] <VideoSmith> Guys, what's the command that gives the computer specs?  I think it had "cat" in it or something.
[22:23] <morphatic> gnutron: ah, yes, I have that
[22:23] <gnutron> morphatic: its possible but ive done that before with no ill effects
[22:23] <gnutron> VideoSmith: cat /proc/cpuinfo  possibly
[22:23] <nickrud_> VideoSmith,  sudo lshw | less has the most info
[22:23] <VideoSmith> thanks :)
[22:24] <Sertse> hi, anyone else the 8.10 alternate Cd to be...corrupt?
[22:24] <Sertse> find the
[22:24] <mizipzor> is there a way to find out what process is using what port?
[22:24] <nickrud_> Sertse, bad download or burn, happens often.
[22:24] <gnutron> nickrud_: thanks i wasnt being accurate using the word identical.
[22:24] <nickrud_> !md5sum | Sertse (if good, burn, then run self test on boot)
[22:25] <gnutron> mizipzor: netstat -tuap  or  netstat -tunap
[22:25] <davidbarry> Can anyone tell me how I can mount an ext3 drive with global read/write permission or at least read/write permission for my user?
[22:25] <nickrud_> gnutron, I used some words equivalent to that once, broke a system badly till we worked out what happened. :)
[22:25] <VideoSmith> I did the Sudo command thing and it's loading.  The cat one works too ;)
[22:25] <VideoSmith> Wow not bad.
[22:26] <compubomb> nickrud_: how do you tell what packages are currently installed ?
[22:26] <Azzmodan> How can I change a package so it is no longer considered to be "auto removable"?
[22:26] <nickrud_> compubomb, dpkg -l '*php*' | grep ^ii
[22:26] <VideoSmith> Is there a command to get the graphics card specs?
[22:27] <gnutron> compubomb: dpkg -l in a terminal or dpkg -l |less  will show ALL packages installed.
[22:27] <PengytheDuckwin> when I try to run remotepad server, I get a Failed to bind socket: Address already in use error, can someone tell me why this is?
[22:28] <mizipzor> gnutron: hmm, PID/ProgramName is set to "-"
[22:28] <nickrud_> mizipzor, try running that with sudo
[22:28] <compubomb> nickrud_: btw, thanks
[22:28] <compubomb> i was right, the new version of php is fubared.
[22:28] <nickrud_> compubomb, getting it done?
[22:28] <gnutron> mizipzor: that means nothing is using that port
[22:29] <nickrud_> compubomb, the old ones are in the repo's, you can use synaptic to
[22:29] <compubomb> so i just did
[22:29] <nickrud_> compubomb, 'force'
[22:29] <compubomb> apt-get install `dpkg -l | grep "ii.*php5" | awk '{print $2"=5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3"}'`
[22:29] <CyberGabber> My VPN-connectie is selectable in NetworkManager Applet, but after clicking it, it doesn't give a reaction.
[22:29] <nickrud_> compubomb, gack. or, awk in this case.
[22:29] <compubomb> gotta love awk
[22:29] <compubomb> :p
[22:29] <mizipzor> gnutron: wierd, pure-ftpd is having problems with the local adress already being bound
[22:30] <Cadman21> has anyone here worked with the Internet switch on the front of hp laptops before?
[22:30] <CyberGabber> Is there a bugfix for VPNproblems in Intrepid?
[22:30] <PengytheDuckwin> I have
[22:30] <|unjustice|> how do I make changes in /etc? I have to be root, but what is the command to alter it in terminal?
[22:30] <nickrud_> compubomb, but I do prefer your dpkg/grep line
[22:30] <MrElendig> |unjustice|: sudo $EDITOR /etc/whatever
[22:31] <Cadman21> PengytheDuckwin: did you say you have worked with that stupid little switch thing before?
[22:31] <Scunizi> |unjustice|: or sudo gedit /etc/<filename>
[22:31] <Peteed> hwo can I take a screen shot of a right click menu? it wont let me use PrtScrn
[22:31] <nickrud_> |unjustice|, or just sudo editor /etc/<filename> . If you use gedit, use gksu gedit
[22:32] <PengytheDuckwin> yes, i have
[22:32] <CaptainMorgan> !flac | CaptainMorgan
[22:32] <morphatic> doh!  so it looks like I ran "sudo usermod -G groupname username" on my admin account and removed myself from the people who can run sudo.  is there any way to undo this, i.e. get back my sudo ability?
[22:33] <[c0ma]> lol
[22:33] <nickrud_> morphatic, reboot in recovery mode, drop to terminal, run adduser <usrname> admin
[22:33] <Cadman21> PengytheDuckwin: how can I turn the connect back on when I turn if off with that?
[22:33] <PengytheDuckwin> Cadman: you have to find a way inside ubuntu to turn the internet on, It only likes to turn it off
[22:33] <morphatic> nickrud_: can I do this from ssh or do I need physical access?
[22:33] <nickrud_> morphatic, add back adm, dialout, cdrom, audio, dip, plugdev, lpadmin as well
[22:34] <nickrud_> morphatic, oooh.
[22:34] <nickrud_> morphatic, physical to get to recovery, it's single user mode
[22:34] <morphatic> nickrud_: I can get to the server, just perhaps not until tomorrow.
[22:34] <morphatic> nickrud_: thank you!!!!
[22:35] <perillux> are there any tools I can get to monitor how much power this laptop uses?
[22:35] <gnutron> mizipzor: anything else previously configured to use ftp/21 port?
[22:35] <Cadman21> PengtheDuckwin: yeah the only way I have figure out how to turn it back on is to restart the computer. do you know of any forms or anything like that which could help me out?
[22:35] <mizipzor> gnutron: not that i know of, trying to find out
[22:35] <Grenyaris> I need a link or file or icon on my desktop that, when clicked, will execute the email program, give me a new mail, pre-populate the TO, SUBJECT and MESSAGE fields... Any Ideas, places to look, keywords to search for?
[22:36] <epictetus> Grenyaris: you want it to work with any email program?
[22:36] <PengytheDuckwin> Cadman: I started using a new laptop before I switched to ubuntu, so I only know the switch won't do anything,  your best bet is to restart, or maybe logout and back in
[22:36] <epictetus> you can do some of that with a fancy mailto: link
[22:36] <Grenyaris> Any would be best, but Thunderbird for sure...
[22:36] <epictetus> mailto:toaddress@whatever.com?subject=whatever?body=whatever
[22:36] <epictetus> somethign along those lines
[22:36] <epictetus> er
[22:36] <CaptainMorgan> anyone have an audio converter to speak of?
[22:36] <epictetus> maybe it's
[22:36] <epictetus> mailto:toaddress@whatever.com?subject=whatever&body=whatever
[22:37] <epictetus> yeah the second one
[22:38] <epictetus> if it lets you make a desktop icon that is a link to a URL, try that mailto: line

[22:38] <CaptainMorgan> anyone have an audio converter to speak of ?
[22:38] <gnutron> Peteed: use gimp on a snapshot timer, give it 10 seconds or whatever, minimize gimp and right click, wait for the snapshot.
[22:39] <perillux> I'm toying with the notion of leaving this laptop on 24/7 (for certain reasons).  However I'm worried this might use a lot of power, are there any tools I can get to monitor how much power it uses and then I can estimate how much it would cost to keep it up all day.  Also, do you think that might shorten the life of this old laptop?
[22:39] <Lemonwedge> is anyone familiar with tuxguitar?
[22:39] <i-pink> i have a problem
[22:39] <CaptainMorgan> doh, nevermind: soundconverter
[22:39] <Peteed> gnutron, lol thanks I found "Take screen shot" with a trimmer in Application => Accesorrys thanks ^_^

[22:40] <i-pink> i need the deb packeg for hardy of  window-picker-applet
[22:41] <gnutron> perillux: watts divided by volts equals amperes, read the specs on the laptop power supply. they dont use much power.
[22:41] <Gamboa> I'm a newby to Linux and trying to install  themes fot gtk2.x on ubuntu 8.10, but it keeps on telling me a GTK+ engine needed is not installed. Which package should I install to get this GTK+ engine needed ??
[22:41] <Gamboa> hi

[22:42] <perillux> gnutron: but found a script that allows me to turn off my laptop monitor.   How can I shrink the PV's partition to match it's size?
[22:44] <VideoSmith> ikonia and dennda:  thanks m8es :)
[22:45] <energY> Why does ubuntu + kde use so much ram? Debian used less than 1/3 of what ubuntu uses.
[22:46] <MrElendig> because it has 200 daemons that you will never use running by default?
[22:46] <MythbuntuGuest67> my live cd wont start to boot any typs
[22:46] <gnutron> energY: thats kind of a subjective assertion, depends on what exactly is running
[22:47] <energY> gnutron: Only the basic install with kde.
[22:47] <fogobogo> energY: because of blingware
[22:47] <MythbuntuGuest67> my live cd wont start to boot any typs
[22:47] <gnutron> energY: alot of stuff starts that you don't need. even with basic installation.
[22:48] <gnutron> energY: debian tends to not run things without it being told to do so. imo
[22:48] <energY> how can I strip it down to a sensible ram usage?
[22:48] <MythbuntuGuest67> my live cd wont start to boot any typs
[22:48] <jinja-sheep> !virtualbox
[22:48] <energY> Unbuntu uses more ram...
[22:49] <gnutron> energY: you could be right.
[22:49] <MythbuntuGuest67> my live cd wont start to boot any typs
[22:49] <gnutron> energY: bells and whistles maybe..
[22:49] <AJC_Z0> energY: If you want to run lean, don't run any desktop manager (KDE, Gnome, XFCE, etc.). Use X and a decent window manager
[22:49] <fedfan> my scanner is not supported by xsane but the manufacturer supplies a debian driver.  is it still possible to configure my scanner somehow?
[22:49] <Rabbitbunny> !ebox > Rabbitbunny
[22:50] <PengytheDuckwin> What does the error "Failed to bind socket: Address already in use" mean?
[22:50] <AJC_Z0> energY: This may not be worth the effort in ubuntu due to the "all-in" approach to packaging
[22:50] <energY> AJC_Z0: TWM?
[22:50] <kitche> PengytheDuckwin: exactly as the error message states Address already in use
[22:50] <n8tuser2> PengytheDuckwin -> already in use
[22:50] <Rabbitbunny> PengytheDuckwin: There was an error binding to the socket. The address is already in use.
[22:51] <MythbuntuGuest67> my live cd wont start to boot any typs
[22:51] <AJC_Z0> PengytheDuckwin: You are most likely already running one of the thing you are trying to start. Try "lsof -i :1234" where 1234 is the port on which the process listens
[22:51] <AJC_Z0> energY: TWM is light by modern standards, but not modern. There are many good choices. I use blackbox
[22:51] <[c0ma]> put the live cd in your microwave for 30 seconds then try to boot it...
[22:51] <PengytheDuckwin> ok, Ill try that, thanks
[22:52] <MythbuntuGuest67> thanks for nothing
[22:52] <[c0ma]> yw
[22:52] <AJC_Z0> MythbuntuGuest67: You're welcome. Come again
[22:53] <stonespe1d> exit
[22:53] <MythbuntuGuest67> now please my live cd wont start to boot any typs
[22:53] <energY> I should upgrade to 8.10, rigth?
[22:53] <[c0ma]> what error code are you getting?
[22:54] <CaptainMorgan> Take care MythbuntuGuest67
[22:54] <MythbuntuGuest67> no code just wont even start
[22:54] <PengytheDuckwin> AJC_Z0: I get remotepad 3283 roger    4u  IPv4 1276203       TCP *:5583 (LISTEN) from the command
[22:54] <kantlivelong> hey all.. i have 2 mics.. how can i either merge both mics to the same dsnoop or have seperate dsnoops per mic?
[22:54] <PengytheDuckwin> I take it SOMETHING is using the port but I don't know what
[22:54] <[c0ma]> well did you set your computer to boot from cd drive?
[22:54] <AJC_Z0> energY: You should do what's most appropriate for your system(s) given Ubuntu's release and support cycle
[22:54] <MythbuntuGuest67> yes i did
[22:55] <AJC_Z0> PengytheDuckwin: You'll need to stop that one before you can start a new one
[22:55] <energY> AJC_Z0: I am using it as a torrent box, and my sister will play desktop games on it. It has 377mb ram, and a 600mhz duron. Would I be likley to get more problems in 8.10 than in 8.04?
[22:56] <PengytheDuckwin> AJC_Z0: I don't know what something is though, but do I do "kill pid" or something?
[22:57] <gnutron> PengytheDuckwin: looks lke kill 3283 should kill it
[22:57] <AJC_Z0> energY: I have no idea, however for any platform on which you want to run up-to-date applications, you want to treat the OS as another application to keep updated
[22:57] <PengytheDuckwin> ok thanks
[22:57] <fogobogo> energY: easiest method is to switch to something lighter
[22:57] <fogobogo> energY: like xubuntu
[22:57] <energY> fogobogo: xubuntu looks like gnome?
[22:57] <fogobogo> energY: pretty much.
[22:57] <AJC_Z0> PengytheDuckwin: Kill that process or "pkill remotepad" should kill it, but that's not usually the right way to stop and start programs
[22:58] <MythbuntuGuest67> my live cd wont start to boot any typs
[22:58] <fogobogo> energY: it uses most gnome stuff and you can set the themes and all that it will almost exactely look like ubuntu
[22:58] <CyberGabber> MythbuntuGuest67: Is your Live-cd readable at another computer?
[22:58] <MythbuntuGuest67> yes
[22:58] <AJC_Z0> fogobogo: Doesn't xubuntu just use XFCE - a lighter DM, but a DM nonetheless?
[22:59] <CyberGabber> MythbuntuGuest67: Does it boot at that other computer or is it just readable?
[22:59] <fogobogo> AJC_Z0: yes. but it also runs a lot less services and fancy stuff
[22:59] <AJC_Z0> fogobogo: Okey-doeky. Thanks
[22:59] <jinja-sheep> I'm having issues with VirtualBox (closed-source) when it comes to USB + Shared folder.  Any suggestion why?
[22:59] <Percy_> what is the PPC ubuntu channel?
[22:59] <ikonia> Percy_: #ubuntu-ppc
[23:00] <Percy_> thanks
[23:00] <energY> This guest acount in 8.10 sounds cool. Does all the settings get reverted back when the user logs off?
[23:00]  * AJC_Z0 runs light on his home systems and has almost every compiz effect turned on on his Ubuntu system
[23:01]  * VideoSmith finds ALC_Z0 quite an amusing die-hard that might be on to something.
[23:01] <VideoSmith> lol
[23:02] <energY> That settles it
[23:02] <dreaman1965> chicco
[23:02] <energY> Tomorrow I will install xubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop
[23:02] <energY> Probably delete the kubuntu...
[23:02] <AJC_Z0> VideoSmith: I'm an old unix admin who is frustrated by how easy Ubuntu is, so keeps trying to make it do newer and better tricks in the hope it'll break
[23:03] <VideoSmith> AJC_Z0:  Interesting.   :P
[23:03] <AJC_Z0> Yesterday I rebuilt this box with full disk encryption, but everything still works fine :/
[23:04] <fogobogo> AJC_Z0: tried arch?
[23:04] <AJC_Z0> Some might say Linux if for folks who are scared of unix and Ubuntu is for folks who are scared of Linux
[23:04] <VideoSmith> ALC_Z0:  So you're saying it is easy but works great and is quite a capable system.
[23:04] <AJC_Z0> fogobogo: What's that?
[23:04] <ross_> i'm scared of everything
[23:04] <ali87> Hello room :)
[23:04] <fogobogo> AJC_Z0: archlinux

[23:08] <Jack_Sparrow> the_l_guy, whats up
[23:08] <the_l_guy> I need Hotmail support in Evolution
[23:08] <ali87> I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop, all went smoothly, except for the wifi card isnt showing, I already found a page that has a specific workround for my laptop (Dell A860) but the solution has codes (terminal I assume) which I don't know where or how to type, here is the page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=921329&highlight=242x+acer
[23:09] <Jack_Sparrow> the_l_guy, Ask your question all on one line and wait, Please dont call for an op to help you
[23:09] <[c0ma]> open up the terminal program and copy n paste the code
[23:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Brack10, Still there...
[23:09] <filip_> elo
[23:09] <the_l_guy> I need to use Hotmail in Evolution with FreePOPs and the likes.
[23:09] <Brack10> jack_sparrow:  computer A has Nvidia video and network, computer b has intel integrated video and broadcom
[23:10] <ikonia> the_l_guy: hotmail pop is paid for
[23:10] <the_l_guy> They promised it would be free be November
[23:10] <filip_> who are you ?
[23:10] <Brack10> I'm pretty sure Ubuntu has built in support for the computer, it's a Dell OptiPlex 330
[23:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Brack10, So a little tweaking and you should be fine.. you can dl the addl drivers and things you need before you make the drive image
[23:10] <[c0ma]> uggh i dont use gnome so idk how to open the terminal
[23:10] <ikonia> the_l_guy: still look paid for to me,
[23:10] <ali87> I just need assistance in how, where to type that solution, and keeping in mind, the laptop has no internet connectivity at all right now, and I see that one the codes says to download it using wget.. (how would i download it from the laptop if it doesnt have internet!)
[23:10] <the_l_guy> What about DeltaSync support?
[23:10] <Brack10> ok
[23:10] <ikonia> the_l_guy: no idea what that is
[23:11] <Brack10> it took me hours and hours to customize it the way I want, I would be devistated if I had to do it again
[23:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Brack10, Those broadcom's are still a pesky little bugger
[23:11] <the_l_guy> Hotmail's alternative to POP
[23:11] <Brack10> Jack_Sparrow: I heard they reverse engineered one of the major wireless broadcom firmwares
[23:11] <Brack10> :)
[23:11] <Grenyaris> epictetus: OK, all I get when I create a URL file with the "mailto:" stuff in it is a download request from Firefox...it does not execute the email program...any ideas? Is there a URL or MAILTO or other file template that would work? text/x-uri or text/x-uri-mailto... and if so, where can I get such a file template?
[23:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Brack10, Do you have a backup of your existing system
[23:11] <the_l_guy> Just go with Ethernet
[23:11] <crabgrass> alright guys, working on getting a 10 minute old 8.10 install back to where i was 30 minutes ago... what two commands do i need to run to get synaptic and other sudo'd commands to have the same themes and icons that i have?
[23:12] <Brack10> oh yeah, definately
[23:12] <the_l_guy> Wires are better
[23:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Brack10, Those broadcom's are still a prob in that there are a ton of versions for the same bcm43xx
[23:12] <Brack10> oh ok
[23:12] <Jack_Sparrow> !who > the_l_guy
[23:12] <Brack10> I have brcm57xx
[23:12] <Brack10> what's the deal on those?
[23:13] <the_l_guy> Some guy waiting for Hotmail in evolution
[23:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Brack10, I have not run into one of those yet..
[23:13] <the_l_guy> FreePops was heckish in Windows
[23:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask
[23:13] <Brack10> Jack_Sparrow: I can always use ndiswrapper if need be, right?
[23:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Brack10, Yes
[23:13] <the_l_guy> OK ubottu
[23:14] <merril> i am having trouble installing my Piper PA-44 driver
[23:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Brack10, No copy protection issues like windows
[23:14] <the_l_guy> To Brack10: use ethernet, it worked out of the box for me
[23:14] <crabgrass> and another question... is it possible to install baobab without installing gnome-utils?
[23:15] <CyberGabber> the_l_guy: "HOWTO: Send and Receive Hotmail through Evolution", see : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=200408 ???
[23:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Brack10, As long as you dont try to stick 64 bit on that little Dell box
[23:15] <djbeenie> need help getting wma files to play...I have installed VLC but still no video
[23:15] <Brack10> Jack_Sparrow:  Windows has more than just that, you have to do a sysprep to get it to work on another machine, it basically re-installs the whole OS....and that only works if they have a compatible HAL
[23:15] <the_l_guy> crabgrass: look up it's single package in Synaptic or aptitude
[23:15] <Jack_Sparrow> the_l_guy, I have things under control with Brack10 , Nut thank you anyhow
[23:15] <ali87> I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop, all went smoothly, except for the wifi card isnt showing, I already found a page that has a specific workround for my laptop (Dell A860) but the solution has codes (terminal I assume) which I don't know where or how to type, here is the page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=921329&highlight=242x+acer
[23:15] <the_l_guy> Yeah
[23:16] <ali87> I just need assistance in how, where to type that solution, and keeping in mind, the laptop has no internet connectivity at all right now, and I see that one the codes says to download it using wget.. (how would i download it from the laptop if it doesnt have internet!)
[23:16] <the_l_guy> But it would work better. Wires FTW Jack_Sparrow!
[23:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Brack10, I have a tutorial on moving widows that was quite nice
[23:16] <the_l_guy> Oh
[23:16] <the_l_guy> By the way
[23:16] <crabgrass> the_l_guy: I searched for baobab in synaptic and got nothing =/
[23:16] <Digital7> What is the package name of Intel's graphics drivers?
[23:16] <djbeenie> anyone?
[23:16] <kitche> Digital7: xserver-xorg-video-intel
[23:17] <Kenneth1> I got a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 on Friday, the bluetooth mouse I got with it was working the very first day, the next day it didn't work.

I am simply trying to fix it so that I can use my bluetooth mouse.
[23:17] <ikonia> djbeenie: saying anyone won't get you very far, you need to ask a question

[23:23] <Cadman21> Jack_Sparrow: have you ever worked with the wifi toggle switch on hp laptops before?
[23:24] <ikonia> LinuxLover4: are you using fake raid ?
[23:24] <LinuxLover4> ikonia: no i have a raid controller
[23:24] <Joe_> ikonia you too, thanks for the help
[23:24] <ikonia> LinuxLover4: which controller ?
[23:24] <LinuxLover4> umm . . . hold on
[23:24] <ikonia> Joe_: for what, don't remember saying anything, but you're welcome
[23:24] <mcphail> Using firefox and flashplugin-nonfree <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu1~intrepid1. After playing a flash game for about 20 minutes my box crashes as if the power has been cut. Is this a known issue?
[23:24] <opersts> i didnt flood did I ?
[23:24] <ikonia> mcphail: probably machine instability rather than flash
[23:25] <Kenneth1> I got a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 on Friday, the bluetooth mouse I got with it was working the very first day, the next day it didn't work.  I explored all user-friendly interface trying to get it to work when eventually I accidentally clicked Remove Trust.  In my own ability this seems irreversible.  I am simply trying to fix it so that I can use my bluetooth mouse.  IRC chat giving me a head-ache, if at all possible please e-mail me @ k
[23:25] <merril> C-C-COMBO BREAKER
[23:25] <Cadman21> opersts: is there a way to disable that toggle switch?
[23:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Cadman21, nope
[23:25] <ikonia> mcphail: what ?
[23:25] <LinuxLover4> ikonia: my server specs here: http://pastie.org/359157
[23:25] <Noah1989> LinuxLover4: is it an on-board raid controller?
[23:25] <ikonia> mcphail: sorry not you
[23:25] <ikonia> merril: what ?
[23:25] <Joe_> ikonia last night (well for me) with my dead X issue, it's back to the way it was (working xinerama, no working glx) which I can live with... guess it's time to finally get a new computer, heh
[23:25] <mcphail> ikonia: doesn't happen with anything else. Uptime for weeks if i don't use flash
[23:25] <LinuxLover4> Noah1989: yes, http://pastie.org/359157
[23:25] <ikonia> Joe_: good for you
[23:25] <opersts> Cadman, No not as of yet
[23:25] <merril> i clogged my internet vent trying to install my Piper PA-44 drivers
[23:25] <gatien> what is a devgid?
[23:25] <Cadman21> Jack_Sparrow: ok thanks
[23:25] <merril> that is waht tech support told me
[23:26] <Cadman21> Jack_sparrow: is there away to restart your wireless card from the command line?
[23:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Cadman21, yes, but I am busy, please asl the channel
[23:26] <ikonia> LinuxLover4: I can't find out who makes your raid card
[23:27] <LinuxLover4> me neither
[23:27] <LinuxLover4> :S
[23:27] <Noah1989> LinuxLover4: most of those which i had seen before are no real raid controllers but need special drivers, only available for windows, which is actually a software raid reading the configuration from the bios
[23:27] <ikonia> LinuxLover4: is it a seperate card or part of your motherboard
[23:27] <gatien> Cadman21:  sudo ifconfig <wireless device> down, then sudo ifconfig <wireless device> up
[23:27] <Kenneth1> I got a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 on Friday, the bluetooth mouse I got with it was working the very first day, the next day it didn't work.  I explored all user-friendly interface trying to get it to work when eventually I accidentally clicked Remove Trust.  In my own ability this seems irreversible.  I am simply trying to fix it so that I can use my bluetooth mouse.  IRC chat giving me a head-ache, if at all possible please e-mail me @ k
[23:27] <Noah1989> LinuxLover4: you might want to go with software raid
[23:27] <LinuxLover4> ikonia: it is an actual card
[23:27] <ikonia> LinuxLover4: if it's a fakeraid card - don't use it
[23:27] <MacGuges> Hello, I need help getting my wireless working. Iwconfig shows my interface, and dhcp acquired an address earlier, but now I can't ping my router (though I could earlier). I also have errors repeating in kern.log.
[23:27] <ikonia> LinuxLover4: but I can't see info on it
[23:27] <LinuxLover4> Noah1989: i was using software raid, but that failed. and i had to reinstall
[23:27] <Cadman21> gatien: ok thanks a lot
[23:27] <slade_> Hi all, first time linux user here ... after my first boot up, I gave the go ahead for ubuntu to install the 200+ updates it detected upon startup. I left the updater to do its thing, and when I returned to my computer I was looking at a black screen. mouse+keyboard wouldn't bring it back to life, had to hard reboot (I know). upon reboot (and after a disk check) ubuntu detected 175 updates (so I suppose it did manage to grab someone of
[23:28] <LinuxLover4> ikonia: what is a fake raid?
[23:28] <ikonia> LinuxLover4: windows driver based raid
[23:28] <LinuxLover4> oh
[23:28] <ikonia> LinuxLover4: raid from the bios as explained
[23:28] <slade_> : dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[23:28] <LinuxLover4> ikonia: im pretty sure it is an actual raid card
[23:28] <Noah1989> LinuxLover4: yeah, just what i explained above
[23:28] <ikonia> Noah1989: exactly what you said, yes
[23:28] <gatien> slade, so run that
[23:28] <slade_> I tried plugging that into a command line, but its telling me I need superuser rights
[23:28] <ikonia> LinuxLover4: I don't think it is as I can't find any info
[23:28] <slade_> yes I tried
[23:29] <tekteen_> slade_: prepend sudo to the command
[23:29] <djbeenie> kitche, woot that worked thanks!
[23:29] <gatien> slade, type 'sudo' before it without the quotes, and put a space in there
[23:29] <tekteen_> then type in yout password
[23:29] <djbeenie> ikonia, mplayer works
[23:29] <ikonia> djbeenie: excellent
[23:29] <Joe_> oh... I have a raid question.  I want to do a raid 1+0, I can later add more drives to it as long as I add 2 more of the same type... right?
[23:29] <slade_> thanks very much, I'll try that!
[23:29] <LinuxLover4> ikonia: Noah1989 if you notice in the error http://pastie.org/359152 it drops to a shell, i then exit, and everything boots fine, can i just leave it then??
[23:29] <gatien> does anyone know what a devgid is?
[23:29] <ikonia> LinuxLover4: it doesn't boot
[23:29] <ikonia> LinuxLover4: it drops to busybox
[23:30] <LinuxLover4> ikonia: after droping to busybox, i then type in the command exit, and it continues to boot normally
[23:30] <LinuxLover4> as if nothign happened
[23:30] <ikonia> LinuxLover4: I can't see how thats possible if this is your root file system
[23:30] <LinuxLover4> ikonia: it is my home parition
[23:30] <dn4> could the latest ubuntu install on my pentium pro 200Mhz machine?
[23:30] <LinuxLover4> my root is on a 40gb hd
[23:30] <ikonia> LinuxLover4: ooh, well that make sense
[23:30] <ikonia> LinuxLover4: you won't be able to access your home dir
[23:30] <LinuxLover4> ikonia: the home partitions are fine as well tho after boot
[23:31] <Noah1989> LinuxLover4: oh wait.. i just realize.. this is #ubuntu, not #gentoo - >_> - i never tried raid on ubuntu
[23:31] <CaptainMorgan> is anyone familiar with soundconverter? I'm trying to add a Flac file to it, and it won't even recognize it or add it to the list... I'm trying to convert it to mp3
[23:31] <ikonia> LinuxLover4: I doubt they are, your probably not mounting /home outside otf the partition
[23:32] <LinuxLover4> ??
[23:32] <crabgrass> whats the difference between gstreamer-plugins-ugly and gstreamer-plugins-ugly-dbg?
[23:32] <filthpig> CaptainMorgan: that should work like a charm. Does for me, at least. I've ripped quite a few cds to flac lately and converted them with soundconverter to both ogg and mp3
[23:32] <MacGuges> I'm seeing these errors in kern.log: phy0 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x0[67] failed for offset 0x04.. With error -110 and usb_rf_write: Error - PHY_CSR10 register busy. Write failed.
[23:32] <filthpig> CaptainMorgan: have you tried with different flac files? Is the flac file playable from your music player?
[23:32] <tekteen_> crabgrass: If you have to ask, you do not want -dgb
[23:32] <CaptainMorgan> filthpig, when you choose to 'add file' and navigate to the flac file, it then appears in the list, correct?
[23:33] <crabgrass> tekteen_: thats a good enough answer for me.
[23:33] <CaptainMorgan> filthpig, no, it's not playable, that's why I'm trying to convert it :)
[23:33] <crabgrass> tekteen_: thanks
[23:33] <CaptainMorgan> Amarok
[23:33] <crabgrass> oh, debug. derp. i should have seen that
[23:33] <filthpig> CaptainMorgan: I mean from rhythmbox or totem or whatever
[23:33] <LinuxLover4> ikonia: http://pastie.org/359165 it is mounted
[23:33] <Eliteslave> is there any support for the g15 keyboard?
[23:34] <thekostya> has anyone tried to compile Grub legacy under Ubuntu?
[23:34] <CaptainMorgan> filthpig, yep, tried totem.. lemme try rhytmbox..
[23:34] <filthpig> Eliteslave: yes. search for it in synaptic and you'll find the tools you need :)
[23:34] <ConstantineXVI> My C++ professor gave me a phonebook-sized manual for an early 90s Unix clone called Coherent.  How much of it is relevant for modern Linux?
[23:34] <slade_> tekteen_: thank you, the console is definitely doing... something.
[23:34] <CaptainMorgan> nope filthpig rythmbox won't play it either...
[23:34] <slade_> :)
[23:35] <filthpig> CaptainMorgan: then it's very possible the file is corrupted. Both totem and rhythmbox should play the file just like that
[23:35] <LinuxLover4> ikonia: perhaps the system isnt allowing enough time for the raid device to initialize, but afterwards everythign is fine??
[23:35] <Eliteslave> filthpig: any idea what it would be listed under?
[23:35] <Noah1989> ConstantineXVI: all POSIX related stuff
[23:35] <Joe_> jack_sparrow ok... one more, nv drivers should support my card and as far as I understand just no 3D acceleration?
[23:35] <CaptainMorgan> filthpig, both apps can play flac natively?
[23:35] <Noah1989> ConstantineXVI: except what changen in the last 18 years
[23:35] <LightTitan> had a video I was trying to watch freeze on me. Pressed Ctrl-Alt-Bksp to reboot X and when I got back in my audio doesn't work. I tried rebooting X again, still didn't work. In place of the start up audio sound I hear static. I have tried rebooting and no luck.
[23:35] <CaptainMorgan> or do I need a codec?
[23:35] <Grenyaris> Ok, got it partially working...Create Launcher -> Location -> mailto: etc... however, it just puts in<EMAIL_ADDRESS>------- is there a way to create a Launcher that is a LINK not a LOCATION? (I am in 8.10)
[23:35] <ryanakca> I've shrunk my PV using pvresize. How can I shrink the PV's partition to match it's size?
[23:36] <LightTitan> I have made sure it's not my speakers as I have tried plugging in headphones in place of my speakers, I still get nothing.
[23:36] <filthpig> CaptainMorgan: yes
[23:36] <Kenneth1> I got a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 on Friday, the bluetooth mouse I got with it was working the very first day, the next day it didn't work.  I explored all user-friendly interface trying to get it to work when eventually I accidentally clicked Remove Trust.  In my own ability this seems irreversible.  I am simply trying to fix it so that I can use my bluetooth mouse.  I am also a first time Linux user so bear with me... please help
[23:36] <filthpig> CaptainMorgan: support for flac is built-in in all modern (open source) media players
[23:36] <CaptainMorgan> k, thank you filthpig
[23:37] <LightTitan> Anyone have any troubleshooting steps to get my audio reset and working again?
[23:37] <Eliteslave> Kenneth - System > Preferences > Bluetooth
[23:37] <filthpig> CaptainMorgan: np.
[23:37] <theUg> Hi. Does anyone knows what can cause U8.10 not run on the same machine (PII, internal intel gfx, 768MB RAM) that 8.04 worked fine? Actually it works, and gets to log-in screen, but after logging in, it hangs up — mouse pointer still shows and moves around but nothing else.
[23:37] <tekteen> !sound > LightTitan me
[23:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !clone > Brack10
[23:38] <LightTitan> Thanks tekteen, trying that now
[23:38] <slade_> so, has anybody had ubuntu revert to a totally black screen with no responses from the mouse or keyboard?
[23:38] <Cadman21> gatien: do you know how i can find the name of my wireless card?
[23:38] <ConstantineXVI> Noah1989, so stuff like bourne shell, sed, awk, lex, would still be good?
[23:38] <slade_> is it some kind of default hibernation/suspend feature?
[23:39] <LightTitan> tekteen... your a genius :) Thanks alot!
[23:39] <tekteen> np
[23:40] <Grenyaris> I need to create a LINK on my desktop, not an Application or a Location, or an Application in Terminal...but a Link...how to do this when Create Launcher does not have this in the Drop Down?
[23:40] <crabgrass> firefox problem: all of my customizations regarding the menu bar are lost each time i shut it down
[23:40] <dn4> can ubuntu work on a 200Mhz machine?
[23:40] <dn4> with 32mb of ram
[23:40] <theUg> slade_, on some machines hibernate/stand by seems not to work properly
[23:40] <Dr_willis_> dn4,  yes. but i would not suggest it.
[23:40] <tekteen> dn4: not with gnome
[23:40] <roe> dn4, I would not try to run X on that
[23:41] <dn4> X is kinda nessary :(
[23:41] <tekteen> then I would say it would run
[23:41] <tekteen> lol
[23:41] <filthpig> Grenyaris: drag'n'drop the tab from fx to the desktop
[23:41] <theUg> slade_: I haven’t read anything definite, but some bits and pieces to that effect.
[23:41] <roe> dn4, not really
[23:41] <Dr_willis_> dn4,  you would really want to use some other light desktop, or console only.. Or try a Uber-light disrto like Puppy Linux, DSL, Feather Linux, or TinyCore Linyx
[23:41] <gatien> Cadman21: sudo iwconfig
[23:41] <slade_> heh, that was my next question, but thanks anyway
[23:41] <dn4> well I was going to use wine to run ultimate online
[23:41] <roe> dn4, you can make it a router, a dhcp/dns server, a proxy server...
[23:41] <Aji-Dahaka> hmm, key repeating isn't working right (as in at all) for me.  where does one set that?
[23:41] <slade_> this system is unfortunately Dell based, so I imagine that could be the problem
[23:42] <theUg> Anyone knows what could be the issue for Ubuntu 8.10 to hang up after log-in prompt?
[23:42] <roe> dn4, not gonna happen
[23:42] <Aji-Dahaka> oh, found it
[23:42] <Grenyaris> crabgrass: while I don't have all the details, here is a place to start... in your home/user directory there should be a .mozilla or .firefox directory, this should contain all your local and personal settings...
[23:42] <dn4> roe: I just need to log into the game and that is it
[23:42] <Aji-Dahaka> hmm...but it still doesn't work with arrow keys
[23:42] <Dr_willis_> theUg,   often thats due to video card/drivers.   Did it work with Ubuntu 8.04? Have you tried googling your gfx card and ubuntu?
[23:42] <roe> dn4, if you want to try it, install xfce, but I wouldn't hold my breath
[23:43] <tekteen> roe: not even that would work
[23:43] <Dr_willis_> dn4,  or try one of the very light ubuntu spinoffs like fluxbuntu, or crunchbang.
[23:43] <ConstantineXVI> Also, is there a Linux C++ IDE that spits out Visual Studio solution files?
[23:43] <dn4> Do any of them come with wine?!
[23:43] <Dr_willis_> dn4,  64mb ram will be the big limitation
[23:43] <ldiamond> I'm trying to print from Microsoft Word using Cups-PDF, however, I get no PDF output. No job seems to be passed to the cups printer at all.
[23:43] <dn4> Dr_willis there is only 32mb of ram :(
[23:43] <roe> dn4, what specs do ultimate online require?
[23:44] <Dr_willis_> dn4,  you can easially install wine. but  I would try to track down some more ram. 32mb = even worse.. :)
[23:44] <ldiamond> Sorry, forgot to mention I was using CrossOver
[23:44] <mcphail> dn4: you'll need to add some ram to run anything worthwile graphically
[23:44] <c_korn> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/+bug/286285 when will this bug be fixed finally?
[23:44] <Crooper> is there a hdtvxvid codec for ubuntu 8.04?
[23:44] <theUg> dr_willis: filthpig: it’s internal Intel on Dell, no specs yet. It worked fine with 8.04. Now X.org starts (I get login screen), but hangs after.
[23:44] <gege> hai
[23:44] <tekteen> Crooper: most come with xvid codec
[23:45] <gege> not good
[23:45] <Crooper> ok... thnx
[23:45] <gege> bad
[23:45] <tekteen> Crooper: use vlc to play it?
[23:45] <filthpig> theUg: Compiz or metacity?
[23:46] <Crooper> it won't play it either
[23:46] <kitche> c_korn: well since it's in blueprints probably next version
[23:46] <tekteen> ok
[23:46] <dimitars> i know it's not realy a ubuntu question, but can i somehow add contact filter in aMSN(Like in windows live messenger) so when i type some words, it would filter the contacts i have and will only show the contacts that have that word in them?
[23:46] <tekteen> that is odd
[23:46] <theUg> filthpig: Not sure what are you talking about.
[23:47] <IndyGunFreak> dn4: ebay is a great place to get old ram on the cheap...
[23:47] <LensGecko> Hello? Anybody there?
[23:47] <mizipzor> ive seen examples on how to add something to the default runlevel with rc-update, but how do i stop it from starting at boot?
[23:47] <Dr_willis_> LensGecko,  1359 People here.
[23:47] <c_korn> kitche: it produces full cpu usage and a full root partition and is not fixed for MONTHS although there is a patch for it
[23:47] <sooth> Is there a way other than editing /etc/fstab to mount a removable drive always to the same path?
[23:48] <kitche> c_korn: umm that bug was just reported on the 6th
[23:48] <filthpig> theUg: The window manager you're using is either Metacity (the default GNOME window manager), or Compiz (Fusion), which is widely popular due to the "desktop bling" it provides. Ubuntu uses comiiz by default these days
[23:48] <roe> sooth, is that not good?
[23:48] <Dr_willis_> sooth,  from gnome file manager. right click on the devices icon. properties.. theres some setting tabs in there - that let you tweak some stuff.
[23:48] <kitche> c_korn: ah on 2005 hmm I don't notice full cpu though
[23:48] <Dr_willis_> sooth,  most all i have - do alays go to the same path.
[23:48] <balzac> hello
[23:48] <gege> hi
[23:49] <LensGecko> Hi people.
[23:49] <Eliteslave> what is Xserver?
[23:49] <ness> hi
[23:49] <kitche> c_korn: also it says fix released
[23:49] <balzac> I'm trying to get my Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG working on intrepid
[23:49] <sooth> roe: I don't want to dig up the default mount options for removable media
[23:49] <balzac> help meh
[23:49] <tonsofpcs> meh
[23:49] <theUg> filthpig: I wiped my 8.04 clean (had it installed through wubi), and installed 8.10 fresh on partition with CD. Live CD, btw, does same thing.
[23:50] <c_korn> kitche: but not in ubuntu. only fedora
[23:50] <filthpig> Eliteslave: the part of the operating system that gives you a nice GUI
[23:50] <sooth> Dr_willis_: When I plug-in my 4 partition removable HD everything gets assigned to "disk" and "disk-{1,2,3}"
[23:50] <LensGecko> Would anyone be able to tell me how one could rip the audio from a flash video taken from the tmp folder?
[23:50] <Dr_willis_> sooth,  and the filesystem of the partitions are?
[23:50] <kitche> c_korn: ymm then why does launchpad say patch released then since fedora uses their own bug system
[23:50] <filthpig> well, that's actually Gnome or KDE, but they depend on X to work
[23:50] <theUg> filthpig: at 8.04 it worked with all the bling, but I turned it all off, cause it was a bit slow. So I ran on basic default one without much effects.
[23:51] <para> Hi. I wanted to try mingw32 on linux, so I downloaded an Ubuntu cd and booted from it, but when I try "sudo apt-get install mingw32", I get "Couldn't find package mingw32". How do I make it find it?
[23:51] <sooth> Dr_willis_: ext3
[23:51] <slade_> lol... it was the damn screensaver that locked the machine up. obviously, the silliest thing... *disabled*
[23:51] <sooth> Dr_willis_: Those gnome preferences are pretty much what I want
[23:51] <Dr_willis_> sooth,  set a Volume Label on each partition - and i think they will get mounted to  "LabelName"
[23:51] <theUg> filthpig: 7.04 and xubuntu 7.04 both work (I tried my old live CDs)
[23:51] <ConstantineXVI> para, mingw32, as in the compiler?
[23:51] <para> ConstantineXVI: yep
[23:51] <Dr_willis_> sooth,  i use the tune2fs command to always set a FilesystemLabel.
[23:52] <term_> Can someone help me install Vidalia on Ubuntu 8.10? I get errors.
[23:52] <ConstantineXVI> para, that's just GCC in linux, and you get that via build-essential, which i think is stock
[23:52] <sooth> Dr_willis_: How do I check the current label?
[23:52] <sooth> term_: Why do you want to? Installing tor + torbutton does pretty much everything.
[23:52] <filthpig> theUg: I'd try googling your gfx card and see if there are any issues/solutions reported. the ubuntu forums are bulging with info on that kind of stuff, although it might take some time to find the info you need. Have you tried changing to failsafe mode before logging in?
[23:52] <para> ConstantineXVI: mmm I understood the mingw32 lets you build windows binaries, which the normal gcc doesn't
[23:52] <term_> sooth: I want a GUI.
[23:52] <Dr_willis_> sooth,  tune2fs command again  command :)
[23:53] <ConstantineXVI> para, ah
[23:53] <noobuntu93> term: there is a GUI in the vidalia package is there not?
[23:53] <Dr_willis_> sooth,  if the Label is blank it uses 'disk' by default.
[23:53] <flaco> hi, I'm changing my ip address like this "ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' then 'route add default gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' it works, but when I restart the computer these change are lost, how can I make them permanent?
[23:53] <term_> noobuntu93: Yes but i get errors
[23:53] <sooth> Dr_willis_: Any particular option I need to give it? tune2fs /dev/sdb2 doesn't work
[23:53] <noobuntu93> term: errors for what in particular?
[23:53] <ConstantineXVI> oh, you're still on the livecd.  you'll have to install to get to it
[23:54] <JamesMowery> If anyone here has experience using CentOS and Ubuntu in a web server environment, can you explain the main differences and/or benefits of using Ubuntu over CentOS, if any?
[23:54] <Dr_willis_> sooth,  read the man pages and --help output.. Yes. you DO need to give it extra options
[23:54] <term_> noobuntu93: "make: *** [all] Error 2"
[23:54] <noobuntu93> when do you get that error?
[23:54] <Dr_willis_> sooth,  that command can set a LOT of 'tweaks/settings' in a disk. and many of them will not get applied/seen till  a reboot/remount of the filesystem
[23:54] <term_> when i write "cmake . && make" in terminal, noobuntu93.
[23:54] <ConstantineXVI> para, my last one was for you
[23:54] <mcphail> para: i think mingw is in the universe repo, known as mingw32
[23:55] <theUg> filthpig: recovery mode or whatnot I tried, but it doesn’t show where it hangs up.
[23:55] <para> ConstantineXVI: I could install things on the ramdisk or on some partition that the livecd can mount, maybe
[23:55] <ConstantineXVI> para, you'll at least need to apt-get update first
[23:55] <n8tuser2> flaco -> put them in /etc/network/interfaces file,  man interfaces
[23:55] <sooth> Dr_willis_: Thanks, "-l" seems to list filesystem info but doesn't have volume label, I guess because there is none.
[23:56] <term_> noobuntu93: can you help?
[23:56] <theUg> filthpig: weird thing is that X starts and works, only after I actually log in it hangs. Should I try CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE or just go in text mode or something?
[23:56] <noobuntu93> term: i'm looking it up right now but not finding anything
[23:56] <para> mcphail: sorry I've never used ubuntu before, and don't know about repos and stuff. One guide said I could find it by default in the Synaptic Package Manager, but it's not there. I guess the live cd is different
[23:56] <Dr_willis_> sooth,  logical eh? :)  You may want to tune the reserved block space/size also. its 5% by default and that can take up a lot of space for no reason
[23:56] <para> ConstantineXVI: why? doesn't that try to update the whole system or something?
[23:56] <sooth> Dr_willis_: Thanks for the tip.
[23:57] <theUg> filthpig: Oh, I see where failsafe is
[23:57] <para> ah, it updates the list. let's see...
[23:58] <c_korn> kitche: it is definitely not fixed in ubuntu. I was just looking for an explanation why a bug that produces full cpu usage and root partition when an INTEL wireless card is uses does not get fixed for MONTHS. it really annoys me. but maybe this is the wrong place to ask. the ubuntu-devel list may be more appropriate. thanks
[23:58] <Dr_willis_> sooth,  also if for some reason the drice does not get unmounted properly. next reboot it might get mounted to /media/Label_  and if that doesnt get unmounted right next time it may be /media/Label__ with 2 _ :)    fix is to unmount and remove the /media/ dirs that are getting auto made.  the _ is used  to  as a failsafe name collision feature
[23:58] <term_> noobuntu93: i downloaded source on http://vidalia-project.net/download.php
[23:58] <JamesMowery> So, is it my understanding that there is no advantage to running Ubuntu over CentOS?
[23:58] <flaco> n8tuser2, thks
[23:58] <Dr_willis_> sooth,  you can also set up the fstab to mount filessytems based on label Instead of UUID :)
[23:58] <para> okay it just redownloaded intrepid lists but still can't find mingw32
[23:59] <Dr_willis_> JamesMowery,  Use what you perfer.  thats what it all boils down to.
[23:59] <sooth> Dr_willis_: Yeah that's what my original plan was. This seems nicer though.
[23:59] <filthpig> theUg: hmm, so it also crashes in failsafe mode? I guess you can start a very minimal mode (I think it's called X session or something like that) that basically gives you a terminal. From there you should be able to switch default WM from compiz to metacity, but I'm on really thin ice here and I do not know the exact (correct) way of doing this. You could always check with the guys over at #compiz-fusion too, some of those guys are gods when i
[23:59] <Gnea> JamesMowery: No one can tell you what's best for you, only you can decide that.
[23:59] <sooth> Dr_willis_: Am I supposed to be able to see the changes after a remount?
[23:59] <Dr_willis_> JamesMowery,  i will stick with Ubuntu, since i know it better.
[23:59] <ConstantineXVI> para, go into software sources and make sure universe is enabled
[23:59] <Dr_willis_> sooth,  i always reboot after doing the tune2fs stuff.. just to be extra safe
[23:59] <Dr_willis_> sooth,  i think some of the tuneing changes only get seen at boot time
