[04:48] <jrib> mohan_: so what would reinstalling alsa do/
[04:48] <fpsdavid> jrib: how do i find mythfrontend's PID then?
[04:49] <mohan_> jrib: i think i have screwed up installation of alsa..
[04:49] <Surlent777>  /quit
[04:49] <Surlent777> err sorry
[04:49] <mohan_> jrib: maybe that would be the source of problem
[04:49] <jrib> mohan_: why?  did you screw it up?
[04:50] <bullgard4> krepta May be 'which grub' does help you along.
[04:50] <bastid_raZor> krepta, in a terminal type mkdir ubuntu && sudo mount /dev/sda5 /ubuntu  .. then your file will be located in /ubuntu/boot/grub/menu.lst   ..
[04:50] <jrib> fpsdavid: well if that's the only output you got from that command, then there is no process called "mythfrontend" running... unless maybe it's running as another user?
[04:50] <mohan_> jrib: there is an order in which alsa is to be compiled right.. First Alsa base and alsa util so and so.. but i think i have done something wrong, that my system is not detecting the sound card
[04:50] <jrib> mohan_: erm, why are you compiling alsa at all?  alsa comes with ubuntu
[04:50] <fpsdavid> well, i have a problem then jrib. once i exit mythfrontend, all i see is black and a cursor, no desktop, right click doesn't work (i've restarted, no luck)
[04:51] <jrib> fpsdavid: but you can get to a tty I assume?
[04:51] <mohan_> jrib: yeah.. because i uninstalled it previously and to get latest alsa driver, as i need low letacy
[04:51] <krepta> mount point /ubuntu does not exist
[04:51] <fpsdavid> jrib, whats a tty
[04:51] <jrib> mohan_: so what is your question?
[04:51] <anyone> etr
[04:51] <jrib> fpsdavid: ctrl-alt-f1
[04:51] <Bob_Dole> Oh wow, the Midori in the repos is at version 0.1.2, but 0.1.7 is out... Now to figure out how to compile it.
[04:52] <krepta> the grub I'm having trouble with is the grub on my hard drive, I am using the LIVECD to be able to do anything at all, therefore I do not want to do anything with the grub on the live cd
[04:52] <fpsdavid> jrib, whats that do? i alt+f4 and it brings up the login/logout window
[04:52] <mohan_> jrib: how to reinstall alsa, removing all previous installation of alsa lib and other things..
[04:52] <Guest65618> hello , anyone
[04:52] <UnderSampled> mohan_: if you need low latancy, try ubuntu studio or studio. They both use a realtime kernel
[04:52] <jrib> fpsdavid: gets you to tty1.  ctrl-alt-f7 brings you back.  But didn't you say all you see is a black screen?
[04:52] <fpsdavid> jrib: yep, all black, a cursor, nothing else.
[04:52] <mohan_> UnderSampled: it was working yesterday.. i screwed it up
[04:53] <jrib> fpsdavid: so can you get to a tty?
[04:53] <fpsdavid> jrib: let me check
[04:53] <bastid_raZor> krepta, sudo mkdir ubuntu then try the mount
[04:53] <maxagaz> in which file is set the uid ?
[04:53] <robdig> krepta: on the mount command change /ubuntu to ./ubuntu
[04:53] <jrib> maxagaz: why?
[04:53] <mohan_> UnderSampled: as this is a production system, i have compiled all the necessary softwares.. And ubuntu studio jaunty is buggy
[04:54] <mohan_> UnderSampled: its RT kernel hangs
[04:54] <maxagaz> jrib, i want to add a new user
[04:54] <jrib> maxagaz: use adduser
[04:54] <jrib> maxagaz: or system -> administration -> users and groups
[04:54] <maxagaz> jrib, i want to add it manually
[04:54] <Detrix> I have java 6 jre installed, but now programs are complaining that they can not find the jre.  I have been trying to learn j2ee and glassfish.
[04:54] <maxagaz> jrib, it's on a server
[04:54] <jrib> maxagaz: yeah, use adduser.
[04:54] <azfira> arma
[04:55] <fpsdavid> jrib: yeah, that worked
[04:55] <UnderSampled> mohan_: have you tried studio? It's not in the ubuntu family, but it's based on debian like ubuntu is
[04:55] <fpsdavid> jrib: still black after ctrlaltf7 though
[04:55] <jrib> fpsdavid: that's fine
[04:55] <maxagaz> jrib, adduser or useradd ? i don't need /home folder
[04:55] <UnderSampled> mohan_: opps, I mean t to say '64 studio'
[04:55] <jrib> maxagaz: then use useradd
[04:55] <paa_> hello i have samsung syncmaster 551v and ubuntu doesn't detect it ??
[04:55] <krepta> Ok, I found the problem, my terminal did not have me located at Root, it's located inside my home directory, so it created ubuntu directory there.
[04:55] <maxagaz> jrib, but still i'd like to know in which file is set the uid
[04:56] <jrib> fpsdavid: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the channel
[04:56] <jrib> maxagaz: but why...?
[04:56] <mib_nhfx5m> Wow, installing ubuntu screwed my windows boot
[04:56] <mohan_> UnderSampled: no.. will try another time.. its ok even if this system is running low letacy but i want my sound back.. pls help me..
[04:56] <vueloooo> holaaa
[04:56] <jrib> maxagaz: /etc/passwd but I have no idea why you would need that
[04:56] <sensae> I had netbeans installed on 8.10, and apparently the upgrade to 9.04 removed the package but left orphaned files (like the binary) still on my system. What's the easiest way to scrub my system of these unwanted, non-working files?
[04:57] <coz_> paa_, which video card?
[04:57] <vueloooo> alguien en castellano
[04:57] <led> was just wondering if I was the only one getting the pidgin sys tray icon is two icons one the normal pidgin icon and the other is what looks like a mail icon but both seem to be for pidgin? any ideas why oh and yes this is on version 9.04
[04:57] <genii> maxagaz: The adduser/useradd adds to the files /etc/group /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow    all of which contain the user id /group id info
[04:57] <gartral> sensae: we have a new tool under administration, system janitor
[04:57] <maxagaz> jrib, i need to understand
[04:57] <paa_> coz_, ati radeon but i disabled it
[04:57] <coz_> paa_, disabled it?
[04:58] <fpsdavid> jrib, is there an easy way to copy the whole file over SSH? all i know what to use is nano
[04:58] <gartral> sensae: the *old* way would be to see if apt-get autoremove would take care of them
[04:58] <mohan_> jrib: forgot me :( :(
[04:58] <vueloooo> holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[04:58] <jrib> fpsdavid: use pastebinit
[04:58] <paa_> coz_, i always disable it from the hardware drivers and set visual effects to None
[04:58] <genii> !es | vueloooo
[04:58] <Detrix> led: the envelope is to notify you that you have a message
[04:58] <jrib> mohan_: I don't know the proper solution.  You should probably give the channel your sound details and trouble shoot that
[04:58] <coz_> paa_, i was just about to go to bed   if no one here can help try the #linux channel :)
[04:59] <sensae> gartal: Neither took care of it :/
[04:59] <paa_> coz_, okay thanks anyway :)
[04:59] <maxagaz> genii, thanks
[04:59] <sensae> *gartral
[04:59] <genii> maxagaz: You're welcome
[04:59] <fpsdavid> jrib: oh cool. http://pastebin.com/f42f298fd and http://pastebin.com/f50159fb4
[04:59] <RedSocrates> led: One of the icons (the one that looks like a mail icon) is the one that shows up in your the "Indicator Applet" on the GNOME panel.  The normal Pidgin icon is the actual systray icon
[04:59] <mohan_> ok.. I am using PRESONUS AUDIOBOX USB based profesisonal sound card..
[04:59] <krepta> Ok, I've mounted the directory, and such, and Now I'm editing the menu.lst located in the ubuntu partition, so now what?
[04:59] <gartral> sensae: wheres your post?
[04:59] <UnderSampled> mohan_: or ask on #alsa
[04:59] <mohan_> ok
[05:00] <jrib> fpsdavid: you don't have X at all?
[05:00] <sensae> gartral: Neither took care of it*
[05:00] <RedSocrates> led: You can either remove the Indicator Applet from the panel, or tell Pidgin not to show the systray icon in Tools --> Preferences --> System Tray Icon
[05:00] <fpsdavid> jrib: whats taht mean? it was working like last week when i looked, and i didnt do anything
[05:00] <gartral> sensae: manually remove?
[05:00] <led> \ok done
[05:00] <Ryan_Delaney> anyone know how to manually uninstall vmware tools?
[05:00] <led> RedSocrates,  ty
[05:01] <RedSocrates> led: No problem
[05:01] <bastid_raZor> Ryan_Delaney, if no one knows here check #vmware
[05:01] <mib_nhfx5m> Can anyone tell me what I have to install to have auto completion in consoles ? (not for path but for program names)
[05:01] <usser> mib_nhfx5m, bash-autocompletion
[05:01] <mib_nhfx5m> usser: thanks ill try
[05:01] <sensae> gartral: I'm not sure where all the files are. It's still in my Applications menu, and apparently that points to /user/local/netbeans-6.5/bin/netbeans but I'm not sure where else files might live and how to remove it from my apps menu
[05:02] <krepta> may I post the contents of what it says in my menu.lst?  Or can someone show me how to put it on a web page?
[05:02] <mobi-sheep> !paste | krepta
[05:02] <gartral> sensae: try sudo appt-get autoremove, if you didnt make the assumption earlier
[05:02] <gartral> sensae: try sudo apt-get autoremove
[05:02] <usser> mib_nhfx5m, bash-completion sorry
[05:02] <Detrix> I have java jre installed, and had no problems until recently.  now netbeans is saying that it cant find the jre.   I even have eclipse, and it works fine.  Why are some programs not seeing the jre??
[05:02] <Kiy> wondering how i set a custom resolution in xorg.conf :/
[05:03] <jrib> fpsdavid: I thought you started by describing something you did, afterwards which it stopped worknig
[05:03] <maxagaz> jrib, thanks
[05:03] <XPS_M1330> is there someone who uses WIKI editing software who could give me some advice?
[05:03] <jrib> !ask | XPS_M1330
[05:03] <mib_nhfx5m> usser: yea I figured out
[05:03] <fpsdavid> jrib: no, i dont think so. i just exited mythfrontend and there was no desktop
[05:03] <sensae> gartral: Yeah, that's what I meant when I said I tried both, it didn't work either.  Looks to have done nothing.
[05:04] <mib_nhfx5m> What package do I have to install to get completion in apt-get ?
[05:05] <gartral> sensae: hit up, and try auto-completiing the packaage name..
[05:05] <mobi-sheep> mib_nhfx5m: What do you mean?
[05:05]  * gartral needs to enable bouncy keys for this laser-board
[05:05] <sensae> gartral: apt-cache search shows the only netbeans package is "netbeans"
[05:05] <XPS_M1330> I need a software to make a simple website with wiki style - easy links between pages. I've used Zim a little bit, it's nice but incomplete, I can't edit the appearance or anything.
[05:05] <usser> mib_nhfx5m, bash-completion didnt work?
[05:06] <usser> XPS_M1330, mediawiki
[05:06] <bastid_raZor> krepta, did you try the additions the webpage suggested?
[05:06] <mib_nhfx5m> mobi-sheep, when I do sudo apt-get install restri"tab,tab" to get the list of packages
[05:06] <gartral> sensae: search forums, im at a los, i never use netbeans
[05:06] <sensae> gartral: Lol I'm wishing I had never tried it now - I moved on to eclipse. Thanks for trying.
[05:06]  * gartral needs to down-tune bouncy keys
[05:06] <mib_nhfx5m> usser: it partly worked, when I type sudo apti"tab", it does nothing.
[05:06] <XPS_M1330> why does mediawiki need to have apache installed
[05:07] <krepta> No, since windows is not slave, and ubuntu is not master, and further I have no idea what changes to make when my situation is not exactly identical
[05:07] <mib_nhfx5m> usser: but when I do apti"tab" it completes to aptitude
[05:07] <gartral> !lamp| XPS_M1330
[05:07] <usser> XPS_M1330, because mediawiki is a web site, it needs http server to run
[05:07] <usser> XPS_M1330, it doesnt have to be apache really, its just that apache is pretty much default nowadays
[05:07] <mobi-sheep> mib_nhfx5m: You ran "aptitude" in the console then search for package?
[05:07] <XPS_M1330> I just want a page editor I don't need a web server
[05:08] <XPS_M1330> I just want to create a bunch of html files and upload them somewhere
[05:08] <mib_nhfx5m> mobi-sheep: No, when you type sudo apt-get install, usually you are able to complete the package name with TAB
[05:08] <jrib> XPS_M1330: http://www.tiddlywiki.com/ maybe?
[05:08] <gartral> !enter | XPS_M1330 `
[05:08] <mobi-sheep> XPS_M1330: Use a text editor ?
[05:08] <mib_nhfx5m> mobi-sheep: but my install broke.
[05:08] <robdig> XPS_M1330: try bluefish
[05:09] <krepta> if you know what changes to make, can you make the changes I need, paste the new menu file, and give me a link?
[05:09] <mobi-sheep> mib_nhfx5m: Ahh I see what you mean.  I generally don't use tab.  I just have aliases for search / install.  "search gnome-do" and I get a list.  Then I just "install gnome-do"
[05:09] <Detrix> XPS_M1330:   I like bluefish and cssed
[05:10] <mobi-sheep> XPS_M1330: Geany is nice.  Then again.  Gedit is nice too.
[05:10] <keco> I have installed 9.04 recently, after I installed amule, but I can't connect it with servers....
[05:10] <jd1> anyone have any devine wisdom on logitedh quick cams?
[05:10] <mobi-sheep> jd1: Ask the real question.
[05:10] <keco> I have actualizated serverlist, but, nothing...
[05:10] <mcbean> How things out there?
[05:10] <Bradlays> So I have never installed linux on my comp and I don't know if it would be better or worse then windows 7 on the user friendly side. Can anyone inform me lol
[05:11] <XPS_M1330> thanks for all the suggestions folks.
[05:11]  * robdig thinks ubuntu is friendlier
[05:11] <jd1> I need to get the gspca driver to complie in jaunty
[05:11] <mbrandt> Bradlays, yo0u can boot to the live cd and try it out
[05:11] <phoenix2> hey is selinux enabled by default in jaunty jackalope?
[05:11] <Jasa> Quick question, could someone answer on private on what is best codecs for totem (gstreamer) to watch satellite television ? Ones in gstreamer-plugins-bad work but playback is choppy with audio and video and when full screen it totally hangs itself claiming you need proper codecs ... ?
[05:11] <mcbean> Anybody know how to set up a file server?
[05:11] <Jasa> I'll go quick break and read answers then.
[05:11] <genii> Bradlays: Since Windows 7 doesn't have this place to help you out, you already have your answer
[05:11] <mobi-sheep> !codecs | Jasa
[05:12] <Bradlays> mbrandt, I need the required drivers though to do that don't I?
[05:12] <Detrix> Bradlays: I believe this latest version of ubuntu is quite user friendly.
[05:12] <Bradlays> what would you consider better and why?
[05:12] <Bradlays> comparing windows to ubuntu
[05:12] <mobi-sheep> Bradlays: People in #ubuntu will say Ubuntu is best.  People in ##windows will say Windows is best.
[05:13] <Jasa> Not really, i see most versions really same ...
[05:13] <Bob_Dole> Will we ever be seeing a GUI to install folding@home?
[05:13] <Bradlays> true
[05:13] <Bradlays> lol
[05:13] <mcbean> Any one knows how to set up a file server?
[05:13] <Bob_Dole> People in windows often say neither is best
[05:13] <mbrandt> Bradlays, nah, just put the cdrom in and reboot, choose boot to live cd and you shoulf be able to do almost everything.  Obviously you won't have ALL the niceties that come with a full install but you'll be able to see what the UI is like
[05:13] <Jasa> I tried OpenSUSE new milestone and vs Ubuntu it is total mess but it depens on how you look in things.
[05:13] <XPS_M1330> people in #penandpaper aren't there to say pen and papers are best
[05:13] <Bob_Dole> And we end up having long discussions about linux in ##windows xD
[05:13] <Bradlays> bob dole you didn't code a runescape bot did you?
[05:13] <robdig> phoenix2: don't think its installed by default, but its in the repositories
[05:13] <Bob_Dole> Bradlays, No
[05:14] <Bob_Dole> I just kill things in Tremulous and say Bob Dole a lot.
[05:14] <Bradlays> lol
[05:14] <mobi-sheep> mcbean: You might want to try #ubuntu-server
[05:14] <Bradlays> mbrandt, can I access the internet as well?
[05:14] <phoenix2> robdig thx
[05:14] <bastid_raZor> krepta, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/grub-error-dual-booting-linux-and-winxp-371087/    .. this may be the solution. read the whole page. the last post seems to be more your set up
[05:14] <mbrandt> Bradlays, are you wireless or wired?
[05:15] <Bradlays> wireless
[05:15] <jjibn> is there  safe-mode for the ubuntu when it is broken
[05:15] <maxagaz> how to list only the date and name of the files in a directory ?
[05:15] <mbrandt> Bradlays, usually wireless works without any extra configs
[05:15] <mcbean> Sheep! It Is the abuntu server i am talking about.
[05:15] <Bradlays> cool, guess I will give it a shot
[05:15] <mbrandt> Bradlays, and if not just pop the cd out and reboot into windows
[05:15] <Bradlays> yea
[05:15] <gabriel> how do I check the checksum of a Kubuntu dvd download?
[05:16] <Bradlays> I like windows 7 right now, it has some good features
[05:16] <mobi-sheep> Bradlays: Linux can do the same thing Windows does.  Mac can do the the same thing Windows does.  Windows viruses does not affect linux at all.  You might want to read this.
[05:16] <mobi-sheep> !lnw | Bradlays
[05:16] <robdig> jjibn: yes, reboot, and after bios menu goes away, you will see a 3 second grub countdown. press esc before it goes to 0, then select recover
[05:16] <Bradlays> thanks ubottu Ill read that right now
[05:16] <bastid_raZor> !md5 | gabriel
[05:17] <Ratapoil> What is a good WYSISYG website editor?
[05:17] <genii> Bradlays: ubottu is just a bot :) But we love them all the same
[05:17] <mib_nhfx5m> Ratapoil: theres no such thing.
[05:17] <genii> Ratapoil: sawfish isn't bad
[05:17] <gabriel> thanks
[05:17] <Detrix> Ratapoil: use open office
[05:18] <mib_nhfx5m> For our sake... dont!
[05:18] <Ratapoil> haha
[05:18] <Bradlays> lol didn't know that
[05:18] <mib_nhfx5m> Build it following the W3C standards
[05:18] <krepta> Windows and ubuntu are both on the same hard drive, I want windows, in sda1, to boot by default, and linux, in sda5, to be an option on the menu.  I have no idea what to do.  These web pages are confusing me, I am not working with two hard drives.
[05:18] <Glebelg> Ratapoil : use kompozer
[05:19] <mbrandt> ubottu, Nice article
[05:19] <Ratapoil> genii: sawfish looks more like a window manager
[05:19] <mbrandt> ubottu, is a bot LOL
[05:19] <Ratapoil> Glebelg: I've tried kompozer before. Is there no better software?
[05:19] <krepta> my head hurts. :(
[05:19] <Bob_Dole> That was kinda funny
[05:20] <bastid_raZor> krepta, if you don't try any of the solutions .. how do you know they don't work.
[05:20] <Bob_Dole> Amaya and Kompozer are about it, I think.
[05:20] <Rakee> Does Verizon,Sprint air cards work plug/play with Ubntu 8.04!!!
[05:20] <Detrix> Ratapoil: I like open office for wysiwyg
[05:20] <mib_nhfx5m> Ratapoil: What are you looking to build?
[05:20] <Glebelg> emacs....but its not wysiwyg
[05:20] <genii> Ratapoil: Apologies, I had a brain fart. I meant bluefish
[05:20] <mbrandt> Detrix, I know they do with 9.04
[05:21] <mbrandt> Detrix, with 8.04 I had a VZW card and it worked PnP
[05:21] <Ratapoil> mib_nhfx5m: a website with maybe 10 html pages
[05:21] <mib_nhfx5m> wysiwyg doesnt really work for web... I like wyciwyg (What you code is what you get)
[05:21] <mib_nhfx5m> Ratapoil: html isnt hard, css either.
[05:21] <krepta> Ok, I'm trying the solution at the bottom of the page of the second link I recieved, however, I must reboot and see what happens.  *sigh*  I have no idea if this will work.
[05:22] <DrMrHorse> i screwed up my grub and now i cant fix it.  i set it to use the grub on the partition for my 8.04 install, now it doesnt recognize my 9.04 install at boot time
[05:22] <Ratapoil> mib_nhfx5m: I know it's better but I don't have that time. I know HTML already. But I'm making this website for someone who will need to be able to update it by himself afterwards
[05:22] <krepta> if it doesn't work, I'll have to come back here.  If it does, thank you very very very much.
[05:22] <chuck_> !ot
[05:22] <fryguy> DrMrHorse: so edit menu.lst and add it
[05:22] <mib_nhfx5m> Ratapoil: use a content manager.
[05:22] <kerebrus_> .
[05:22] <Ratapoil> like Zim?
[05:22] <mib_nhfx5m> Ratapoil: simply install drupal or something like that on a website.
[05:22] <Ratapoil> what's drupal
[05:23] <Kiy> i heard the *restart X session* hothey was removed, is there a new one/can i re-enable it?
[05:23] <mobi-sheep> !dontzap | Kiy
[05:23] <mib_nhfx5m> Ratapoil: http://drupal.org/
[05:23] <chuck_> !ot|Ratapoil
[05:23] <mib_nhfx5m> Ratapoil: its a website that you can edit the content from its web interface
[05:23] <mobi-sheep> Ratapoil: Use Wordpress? :O
[05:23] <mib_nhfx5m> Ratapoil: yea wordpress too..
[05:23] <kerebrus_> Whats a good player for dvds?
[05:24] <fryguy> kerebrus_: mplayer
[05:24] <mobi-sheep> kerebrus_: VLC.
[05:24] <mib_nhfx5m> My network manager is screwed up, I cant get it to work with eth0. Can anyone tell me how to configure it?
[05:24] <fryguy> mib_nhfx5m: what's wrong with it
[05:24] <Ratapoil> ok... well, thanks, I guess.
[05:24] <kerebrus_> vlc closes soon as it starts to load dvd
[05:25] <mib_nhfx5m> fryguy: my wired connection doesnt work. I have to do sudo ifdown eth0, sudo ifup eth0 everytime I reboot
[05:25] <mobi-sheep> kerebrus_: Commercial DVD?
[05:25] <kerebrus_> yes and mplayer crashed very hard
[05:25] <fryguy> mib_nhfx5m: define "doesn't work"?  No connectivity? fail at dns? do you have a route table? does an ip get assigned?
[05:26] <Detrix> kerebrus_:  I believe you will have to disable the desktop effects.
[05:26] <chuck_> kerebrus, did you install any codecs
[05:26] <mobi-sheep> kerebrus_: Meh.  I haven't ran a DVD for long time but you need a certain package that can decrypt DVDs as you're running a encrypted DVD.
[05:27] <mib_nhfx5m> fryguy: if I reboot, I can only connect to my router, and the network manager shows the X sign as if I have no connection. I have to do sudo ifdown eth0, sudo ifup eth0 to make it work.
[05:27] <kerebrus_> i have all the codecs and lib files
[05:27] <mib_nhfx5m> fryguy: my network manager is simply not doing its job. How do I flush it out and reinstall it...
[05:27] <mib_nhfx5m> fryguy: or how do I configure it to work with my eth0?
[05:27] <fryguy> mib_nhfx5m: so, that doesn't really answer any of my questions
[05:27] <mobi-sheep> kerebrus_: Did you read this --> https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video-dvd.html
[05:27] <fryguy> mib_nhfx5m: do you have a route table? do you have dns entries?
[05:27] <mobi-sheep> kerebrus_: You're running Jaunty?
[05:28] <mib_nhfx5m> fryguy: I can only connect to my router. So no dns
[05:28] <fryguy> mib_nhfx5m: what about connecting to an IP outside of the router?
[05:28] <kerebrus_> mobi-sheep: yes
[05:28] <mib_nhfx5m> fryguy: Havent tried
[05:28] <fryguy> mib_nhfx5m: well, try that
[05:28] <mib_nhfx5m> fryguy: But I just fixed it
[05:28] <mobi-sheep> kerebrus_: See the link I post up ther.e
[05:29] <mib_nhfx5m> fryguy: I had to edit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
[05:29] <kerebrus_> mobi-sheep: have all of that installed already
[05:30] <mobi-sheep> kerebrus_: Mmm.
[05:30] <fryguy> mib_nhfx5m: you can also just uninstall networkmanager, which tends to be easier in my experience
[05:30] <mobi-sheep> kerebrus_: I don't know.  I haven't used DVD for some time now. :X
[05:30] <DrMrHorse> fryguy: didnt work
[05:30] <Detrix> kerebrus_:  do you have the desktop effects enabled?
[05:30] <DrMrHorse> file not found
[05:30] <fryguy> DrMrHorse: then you didn't do it right
[05:30] <kerebrus_> Detrix: where would I find that out?
[05:30] <fryguy> DrMrHorse: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:30] <DrMrHorse> fryguy: you dont seem helpful. good day.
[05:31] <DrMrHorse> i screwed up my grub and now i cant fix it. i set it to use the grub on the partition for my 8.04 install, now it doesnt recognize my 9.04 install at boot time
[05:31] <mib_nhfx5m> fryguy: yea, but I dont have time to mess with that today
[05:31] <paul__> !ipv6
[05:31] <mobi-sheep> kerebrus_: Last one...
[05:31] <mobi-sheep> !dvd | kerebrus_
[05:31] <fryguy> DrMrHorse: edit your menu.lst to add it, in /boot/grub/menu.lst, like you've already been told
[05:31] <Detrix> kerebrus_: that probably means no. but to be sure go to system -> preferences -> apperence
[05:32] <paul__> How do I disable ipv6 on 9.04?
[05:32] <Detrix> kerebrus_: when the window opens, go to the tab on far right "visual effects"
[05:33] <paul__> What is the module name?
[05:33] <kerebrus_> Detrix: normal
[05:33] <DrMrHorse> fryguy: good day, like youve been told
[05:33] <Detrix> kerebrus_:  ok, try none....sucks but the visual effects take up resourse
[05:34] <fryguy> DrMrHorse: lol
[05:34] <kkkyle> does anyone know how to add free space to a windows partition using linux?
[05:34] <fryguy> kkkyle: use gparted to resize a partition
[05:34] <mobi-sheep> kkkyle: Gparted.
[05:34] <Ratapoil> you delete files
[05:35] <kkkyle> thanks
[05:35] <mobi-sheep> kkkyle: Make sure you know what you're doing. :X
[05:35] <kkkyle> i will'
[05:35] <kerebrus_> Detrix: lol no thanks I like my desktop looking good, ill just rip the vid to iso then watch it then delete it.
[05:36] <krepta> hello, grub is giving error 18 now, maybe it was before and I mistakenly thought it was error 13... I dunno
[05:36] <bastid_raZor> 18 : Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
[05:36] <bastid_raZor>     This error is returned when a read is attempted at a linear block address beyond the end of the BIOS translated area. This generally happens if your disk is larger than the BIOS can handle (512MB for (E)IDE disks on older machines or larger than 8GB in general).    krepta .. heh .. how did you manage that?
[05:37] <Detrix> kerebrus_:  understood.  :)
[05:37] <fryguy> krepta: are you using a very old (>5 years) machine, or an exotic raid or other hard drive configuration
[05:37] <kerebrus_> Detrix: thanks for the help though
[05:37] <krepta> uh, well, I already had windows xp installed in a fat32 partition, and I installed ubuntu in the free space after that on the hard drive
[05:38] <krepta> It is kind of old, Gateway 450ROG laptop
[05:38] <Detrix> kerebrus_: though it might be easer to turn off the effects, watch the movie, then turn the effects back on.
[05:38] <krepta> so, what can I do?
[05:38] <mib_nhfx5m> Personally, I would buy a new laptop... but thats just me.
[05:38] <fryguy> krepta: reinstall grub to the mbr
[05:38] <krepta> I need to leave to go to work in about an hour, probably less.
[05:38] <kerebrus_> Detrix: I tried still wouldnt play.
[05:39] <bastid_raZor> !grub | krepta this is the fix i've found
[05:39] <genii> I think the 1024 thing also happens if you try to load linux from a partition which begins after that head size
[05:39] <krepta> how do I reinstall grub?
[05:39] <krepta> oh
[05:39] <Detrix> kerebrus_:  did you do the css_install?
[05:40] <kerebrus_> Debrix: yes, I went to all the links
[05:40] <paaa> i removed fglrx and compiz and installed * ATI related from synaptic but still :( the monitor not detected ??
[05:40] <mobi-sheep> kerebrus_: "sudo aptitude search libdvd"
[05:40] <siebel> I have hits coming into my computer from high ports numbers, what is the easiest way to go about blocking them, anyone?
[05:40] <fryguy> kerebrus_: libdvdcss is in a separate repository not part of a base ubuntu install, take a look at medibuntu
[05:41] <mobi-sheep> kerebrus_: libdvdnav4 + libdvdread4 show up / installed ?
[05:41] <kerebrus_> I have libdvdcss and libdvdcss2 installed
[05:41] <fryguy> siebel: are you sure you want to block them, and they aren't legitimate packets? (do you understand how tcp works?)
[05:41] <maxagaz> I want my rails user to have rights to run some commands like "/usr/bin/vim /etc/haproxy.cfg", but this doesn't work in my sudoers :  "rails   ALL=(rails) /usr/bin/vim /etc/haproxy.cfg", can someone tell me what's wrong with it ?
[05:41] <kerebrus_> mobi-sheep: yes
[05:41] <Detrix> kerebrus_:  ok I am running out of ideas then..lol
[05:41] <siebel> These hits are coming from ipblock
[05:41] <kerebrus_> fryguy: I have medibuntu installed
[05:41] <Guest79445> i can't seem to get my 4870x2 to work, i've installed every possible way buy screen just crashes....can anyone help?
[05:41] <fryguy> maxagaz: why not just chgrp the file ?
[05:41] <Bigshot_> does anyone know how to enable desktop effect on Ubuntu in VirtualBOx 2.2.4? (jaunty)?
[05:42] <mobi-sheep> kerebrus_: Does the DVD actually work? :D
[05:42] <siebel> I am pretty sure they are hits I don't want, but no I do not know how tcp works
[05:42] <maxagaz> fryguy, because some other groups may need to use it
[05:42] <siebel> !tcp
[05:42] <fryguy> maxagaz: such as?
[05:43] <kerebrus_> mobi-sheep: if i rip it to an iso, yes
[05:43] <je||y> what's this extra, totally useless blank bar doing on the far right hand side of my screen?
[05:43] <fryguy> maxagaz: *nix file permissions are pretty flexible, you should be solving your problem with unix file permissions, not sudo
[05:43] <mobi-sheep> kerebrus_: I don't know.  You're experiencing an odd issue.
[05:43] <maxagaz> fryguy, well, that's a solution, but i'd like to do it using sudoers actually
[05:43] <je||y> its like an extra task bar but i cant use it for anything
[05:43] <kerebrus_> mobi-sheep: lol watch this chat, I generally bring the odd issues lol
[05:44] <mobi-sheep> je||y: You're talking about GNOME panel?  Right-click and remove the panel if that's bothering you.
[05:44] <Bigshot_> does anyone know virtualbox desktop effectS?
[05:44] <Bigshot_> mobi-sheep,
[05:44] <Bigshot_> kerebrus,
[05:44] <default_>  errker
[05:44] <je||y> what's the GNOME panel?
[05:45] <errker> anybody have any suggestions for songs about PC frustration? something i can use commercially-
[05:45] <mobi-sheep> Bigshot_: What do you mean?  VirtualBox Desktop Effects?  Elaborate.
[05:45] <maxagaz> fryguy, I alos need them to restart /etc/init.d/haproxy
[05:45] <krepta> ok, this is what I did based on that web page, http://paste.ubuntu.com/184751/ and you think this will work?  I sure hope so.  You guys are geniuses even if it doesn't work, I sure wish I was as smart.
[05:45] <mobi-sheep> je||y: Right-click on that bar and what do you see?
[05:45] <Detrix> my problem is some programs are not finding the java jre.  its there.  it works with eclipse, but netbeans does not.
[05:45] <paaa> hello? i got not monitor detected and no property drivers in use of system available ?? please any help
[05:46] <mobi-sheep> Detrix: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[05:46] <donavan01> im getting a bunch of errors on a machine I am working on when I try to boot into ubuntu from a usb stil it says something like ata2.01:stat {DRDY} and then a bunch of other junk ... is it safe to assume I have a bad mobo or cpu
[05:46] <mobi-sheep> Detrix: Check your current Java setup.
[05:46] <krepta> I will reboot now, crossing my fingers.
[05:46] <fryguy> donavan01: are you installing to a hard drive?
[05:46] <mib_nhfx5m> Great, I dont have sound!
[05:46] <mib_nhfx5m> *sarcasm*
[05:47] <Bigshot_> mobi-sheep, i am trying to enable simple-ccsm and when i try to enable the "Enable desktop effects" from Desktop settings I get check your X.org log!
[05:47] <mobi-sheep> Bigshot_: Hardware Drivers enabled?
[05:47] <fryguy> Bigshot_: are you using a driver that supports hardware acceleration?
[05:47] <Bigshot_> how do i check that direct rendering is on
[05:48] <Bigshot_> yes
[05:48] <fryguy> glxinfo | grep -i direct
[05:48] <Bigshot_> 3D acceleration is  on
[05:48] <donavan01> fryguy just doing the running it from the USB ... I am actually trying to get windows to install on this machine (for a friend who is scared of linux) and it keeps hanging at the during the install but DSL linux boots just fine so I am assuming it some instruction seton the cpu or something on the mobo that cause it to crap out
[05:49] <Bigshot_> mobi-sheep, drivers are enabled
[05:49] <meoblast001> is it normal that i haven't had any new updates in weeks?
[05:49] <fryguy> meoblast001: no
[05:49] <meoblast001> what could be the problem?
[05:49] <fryguy> meoblast001: just run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade manually
[05:49] <donavan01> fryguy:  ok the text just stopped and now I have a nice black screen
[05:50] <mobi-sheep> fryguy: Were you giving Bigshot_ a command? "glxinfo | grep -i direct" ?
[05:50] <fryguy> mobi-sheep: yes
[05:50] <meoblast001> fryguy: nothing
[05:50] <fryguy> meoblast001: then everything is updated
[05:50] <mobi-sheep> Bigshot_: Try the command "glxinfo | grep -i direct" in the terminal and speak with fryguy too. :o
[05:50] <meoblast001> just the uninstallable brasero update and the failed to install chromium update
[05:51] <fryguy> meoblast001: probably want to fix those
[05:51] <Bigshot_> fryguy, direct rendering is ON
[05:51] <meoblast001> fryguy: i don't know how
[05:51] <fryguy> Bigshot_: and you are using a driver that isn't blacklisted by compiz?
[05:52] <Bigshot_> how do i check that?
[05:52] <Bigshot_> virtualbox default driver
[05:52] <fryguy> Bigshot_: it told you to check a log file, so i'd suggest checking hat
[05:52] <paaa> folks i'm stuck with unknown monitor and unrecognized ATI radeon drivers in Hardware Drivers program <nothing to enable>
[05:52] <Bigshot_> there's nothing wrong with the log file fryguy
[05:52] <fryguy> paaa: so just configure it manually by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:53] <fryguy> Bigshot_: NOTHING? it's pretty much impossible to have a pristine Xorg.log file
[05:53] <paaa> fryguy, i tried to force the "SyncMaster 551v" in the monitor section but still get it unknown
[05:53] <Bigshot_> fryguy,  hold on let me show it to you
[05:53] <kerebrus_> What am I doing wrong? chmod: changing permissions of `cdrom0': Read-only file system
[05:53] <fryguy> Bigshot_: are you running the latest version of virtualbox? and is the version of ubuntu you are trying to use supported by it?
[05:54] <fryguy> kerebrus_: you can't change files on a read-only filesystem
[05:54] <Bigshot_> yeah it's the latest one just came out i am using jaunty
[05:54] <fryguy> kerebrus_: a cd is a read-only filesystem, you can't change the contents of a cd
[05:54] <danshtr|work> Hi all. I am look for an application comparable to : http://www.macility.com/products/typinator/
[05:54] <krepta_> I know, I'm back again, and again
[05:54] <krepta_> still have error 18
[05:55] <krepta_> Can I install a different boot loader?  I used to love using Partition Magic's boot manager
[05:55] <fryguy> krepta_: sure, nothing else is supported in ubuntu though, so you are on your own for figuring out how to do it
[05:55] <Bigshot_> fryguy, http://pastebin.ca/1441893
[05:56] <fryguy> Bigshot_: (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
[05:56] <krepta_> ugh, I have no idea how to do it, I have no partition magic disk to boot from that I know of
[05:56] <Bigshot_> so what to do?
[05:56] <fryguy> Bigshot_: are you running the latest version of virtualbox? and is the version of ubuntu you are trying to use supported by it?
[05:56] <krepta_> Why is grub the only booter supported?  There are other linux booters
[05:56] <cactaur> Anyone know where the dev package for ImageMagick is? I can see the package, but no development headers.
[05:56] <greato> hello!
[05:56] <greato> how to install printer in Ubuntu
[05:57] <Bigshot_> how to know if its supported fryguy ?
[05:57] <fryguy> krepta_: there are 2, grub and lilo.  grub is pretty much better than lilo in every way
[05:57] <krepta_> uhm, plug it in, and it works, that all I know.
[05:57] <fryguy> Bigshot_: virtualbox documents a compatibility list
[05:57] <krepta_> sure, if it works. :)
[05:57] <sensae> What's wrong with grub?
[05:57] <krepta_> my grub is giving me error 18, that's what
[05:57] <greato> Please tell me how to install printer in Ubuntu?
[05:57] <fryguy> krepta_: there are probably others, but nothing remotely mature enough to bother mentioning
[05:57] <keco> I have problems with hp 1005
[05:57] <fryguy> greato: use foomatic
[05:58] <Bigshot_> fryguy, can you check for me?
[05:58] <fryguy> Bigshot_: www.virtualbox.org
[05:58] <krepta_> I never had trouble installing a printer on ubuntu, I just plugged it in and it worked.
[05:58] <fryguy> Bigshot_: i'm not a librarian, the extent of my knowledge is googling and paraphrasing the first result
[05:58] <keco> fryguy, how can I do install foomatic?
[05:58] <greato> fryguy: where is fromatic
[05:59] <paaa> fryguy, forcing the monitor name gave me sync out of range all the time instead sync out of range in the splash image part!
[05:59] <fryguy> keco: apt-cache search foomatic, install the package that comes up with apt-get install
[05:59] <fryguy> paaa: so try doing what I told you to do instead of guessing
[05:59] <Rafael> can somebody help me with the follwoing, a friend help me with rsync creting the following script: #!/bin/bash and rsync -v -r -d --delete /home/rgotten/Prueba/Myplasticare /home/rgotten/mnt/ >> /home/rgotten/logs/respaldo-`date +%d%m%Y`.log this has being sve to a file ./respaldo-archivos.sh, my question is how do i ron a crontab to do backups at 1am from monday to friday?
[05:59] <krepta_> wow, so many people with problems.  I guess I'll have to clean install windows again, which sucks. :(
[05:59] <Strangelet> Brixton: Hey. :)
[05:59] <brixton> Hey strange
[05:59] <paaa> fryguy, i did what you said i edited xorg manually ?
[06:00] <fryguy> paaa: setting monitor name in xorg.conf has absolutely 0 effect (it's a name for reference purposes only)
[06:00] <fryguy> paaa: try reading the manpage for xorg.conf
[06:00] <cactaur> !printers | greato
[06:00] <fryguy> Rafael: run crontab -e and add the correct entry, see the manpage for formatting of the date in crontab format
[06:01] <krepta_> So, nothing I've tried has worked, and I have no idea what to do now, other than clean install windows.
[06:01] <brixton> Hey, I'm using Ubuntu and I'm trying to get to dual boot to Windows 7, I've got Grub installed, but I don't know the entry for menu.lsd - anyone have a clue???
[06:01] <Bigshot_> fryguy, why does it go back to software rendering?
[06:01] <keco> fryguy, wich packages do I install? don't exist a package "foomatic", but if some as "foomatic-*"
[06:01] <fryguy> Bigshot_: i don't know, read virtualbox documentation
[06:01] <paaa> fryguy, too long manpage all what i want to choose my monitor and get rid of the sync out of range message!
[06:01] <fryguy> keco: it's probably foomatic-gtk
[06:01] <krepta_> Unless... Hey, can I uninstall grub and have windows boot up?
[06:01] <krepta_> If I can do that, I'll be happy.
[06:01] <fryguy> krepta_: boot from windows disc, get recovery console, type fixmbr
[06:01] <krepta_> thanks!
[06:02] <manpoole> irc.macspeak.net
[06:02] <ycmarvin> hello..Im trying to install ubuntu 8 to a NTFS already partitioned disk drive..can somebody assist me
[06:02] <fryguy> manpoole: try appending '/connect' to your command (or /server if you want to disconnect from this server)
[06:02] <krepta_> bye bye
[06:02] <keco> fryguy, mmm... foomatic-gui? foomatic-bin, or foomatic-db, foomatic-db-hpijs
[06:02] <fryguy> ycmarvin: don't install to ntfs, install to a proper unix filesystem
[06:02] <fryguy> keco: foomatic-bin
[06:02] <greato> Ok I have Windows XP installed on another system and Ubuntu on this system. How to access files of another system from Ubuntu?
[06:03] <fryguy> greato: use samba to share files between windows and linux
[06:03] <ziroday> ycmarvin: you will need to reformat the drive with the installer
[06:03] <ycmarvin> fryguy: what format? i thought ubuntu is ntfs friendly
[06:03] <greato> fryguy: where is samba in Ubuntu
[06:03] <fryguy> ycmarvin: it is, for reading and writing, not for having the base system installed as
[06:03] <mobi-sheep> !samba | greato
[06:03] <fryguy> !samba | greato
[06:03] <mobi-sheep> Heh.
[06:04] <haroelcabo> how do I to make DSM connectiont reconnect ?
[06:04] <fryguy> haroelcabo: assuming you typo'd DSM for DSL, and assuming your network device is eth0, sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0
[06:04] <fryguy> haroelcabo: might work
[06:05] <fryguy> haroelcabo: pretty much guessing since you didn't give much information
[06:05] <keco> fryguy, supposely the drivers are installated
[06:05] <fryguy> keco: so now run foomatic and set up the printer
[06:05] <epcom> hiiiiiii
[06:05] <ycmarvin> fryguy: ok
[06:05] <ycmarvin> ziroday: ok
[06:06] <Tyrath> how do I change the colours of panels, buttons, etc?
[06:06] <paulo> hi i'm having problems with adobe flash plugin
[06:06] <paulo> in mozilla
[06:06] <paulo> it does seem to play any sound
[06:06] <fryguy> Tyrath: change the gtk theme, i use .gtk-2.0.rc to set mine
[06:06] <haroelcabo> fryguy: yes, I pretty much know that. What I'd like is the  GSM (sorry for the latter spelling) connection to restart automatically after it falls
[06:07] <fryguy> paulo: install alsa-oss and configure firefox to use that as it's DSP (see google for specific details)
[06:07] <Tyrath> fryguy: i'll look through the file, see what i can find. cheers
[06:07] <haroelcabo> fryguy: specifically in ubuntu 9.04
[06:07] <whatvn> what is channel for fluxbox user?
[06:08] <fryguy> Tyrath: my mistake it's .gtkrc-2.0
[06:08] <fryguy> whatvn: #fluxbox
[06:08] <Tyrath> fryguy: according to locate there's no file of that description on my comp
[06:08] <whatvn> thank
[06:08] <fryguy> Tyrath: there won't be, you need to make one
[06:08] <ziroday> paulo: what version of ubuntu?
[06:08] <Tyrath> fryguy: ah k.
[06:08] <Tyrath> fryguy: then what do i do with it?
[06:08] <fryguy> Tyrath: it's a configuration file, fill out what gtk-theme, font, icon theme etc you want to use
[06:09] <fryguy> or just use the one built into ubuntu
[06:09] <fryguy> on install gtk-chtheme or whatever
[06:09] <paulo> jaunty
[06:09] <ziroday> Tyrath: you  might also want to choose gnome-color-chooser or download a premade theme for gnome-look.org
[06:09] <paulo> fryguy my looking into your suggestion thanks
[06:09] <ziroday> Tyrath: err use gnome-color-chooser sorry
[06:09] <jvainio> hey, why does Mplayer give me an error when trying to watch a video file?
[06:09] <Tyrath> ziroday: I think that's more what i'm after. but the thing is I want it to be rendered etc.
[06:10] <fryguy> jvainio: depends on what the error is
[06:10] <jvainio> says the file isn't there
[06:10] <jvainio> but it is.
[06:10] <Tyrath> ziroday: like i don't want to just change the colours, i want the colours to look good
[06:10] <fryguy> jvainio: what is the path to the file
[06:10] <Tyrath> ziroday: for example, you know how emerald renders the top panel etc.
[06:10] <fryguy> Tyrath: what makes them look bad
[06:10] <jvainio> its /home/keko/Videot/PRIVATE/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM/00000.mts
[06:11] <jvainio> and yet it says file not found
[06:11] <Tyrath> fryguy: they just look bad with my emerald theme, desktop colours, gnome theme
[06:11] <fryguy> jvainio: running "mplayer /home/keko/Videot/PRIVATE/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM/00000.mts" from a terminal and mplayer complains about file not found?
[06:11] <Tyrath> fryguy: as in they look out of place. I have dark everything then light grey buttons, windows, etc.
[06:11] <jvainio> yeah, fryguy
[06:11] <fryguy> jvainio: what is the output of ls -l /home/keko/Videot/PRIVATE/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM/00000.mts
[06:12] <fryguy> jvainio: and what is the specific output you are getting from mplayer
[06:12] <Tyrath> fryguy: would gnome-colour-choose be really what I'm looking for? given I want it rendered
[06:12] <fryguy> Tyrath: ?
[06:12] <Tyrath> fryguy: or is it impossible to get it rendered?
[06:12] <fryguy> Tyrath: define "get it rendered"
[06:12] <ziroday> Tyrath: it sounds like you want to make your own GTK theme :), anyway take a look at gnome-color-chooser it can do most of what you want (color wise)
[06:13] <paaa> fryguy, mind giving me that line for xorg ? i'm really stuck i tried generic, default monitor options and still getting unknown montiro
[06:13] <paaa> monitor**
[06:13] <fryguy> paaa: i don't have your hardware, so I can't write your xorg.conf for you
[06:13] <Tyrath> ziroday: so if I switched from grey to black the 3d look and everything would still look fine?
[06:13]  * Tyrath thinks he should just try it and see what happens rather than ask a thousand questions :P
[06:13]  * fryguy wonders why people are so obsessed with 3d desktops and effects
[06:14] <Solonilia> jesus...
[06:14] <paaa> fryguy, okay at least point to me to a working solution ? as i said i've samsung syncmaster 551v with ATI radeon 1200 and i don't care about the acceleration thing or compiz just want to get rid of the sync. out of range message
[06:14] <Tyrath> fryguy: because if I don't want a GUI i'll just run everything out of a console :P
[06:14] <Tyrath> fryguy: when I have a GUI i like it to be a good one
[06:15] <fryguy> Tyrath: you and I have different definitions of 'good'
[06:15] <fryguy> paaa: are you using intrepid or higher?
[06:15] <Tyrath> fryguy: lol :P
[06:15] <jvainio> fryguy: Got it working! It was the .MTS thing coz i typed .mts ... :D BUT NOW NO VIDEO SHOWING :((( it "plays it" but i am not seeing a thing! how do i get a picture?
[06:15] <fryguy> jvainio: ask in #mplayer
[06:15] <paaa> fryguy, jaunty ididn't face it with 7.10 or 8.04 or 8.10 it was working smoothly
[06:15] <Tyrath> fryguy: it also depends on your CPU. If it can process the load, may as well right?
[06:15] <binMonkey> hi, guys.  after the upgrade to jaunty my sound is muted every time i boot up.  i can't figure out how to fix this.  any ideas?
[06:16] <fryguy> paaa: sooooo.. what version are you running
[06:16] <fryguy> Tyrath: no
[06:16] <paaa> fryguy, jaunty
[06:16] <fryguy> paaa: try deleting the xorg.conf file
[06:16] <fryguy> (or move it to xorg.conf.BAK)
[06:16] <Severian> Howdy.  Does anyone here have an Ubuntu One account?  And, are you open to sending an invite?
[06:16] <paaa> fryguy, i did so and still getting unknown monitor
[06:17] <Tyrath> fryguy: you believe in greener usage?
[06:17] <buttons840> When I do metacity --replace in the console, it works great, but then metacity takes over that terminal screen.  If I close the terminal, then my desktop is ruined.
[06:17] <fryguy> Tyrath: no
[06:17] <fryguy> Tyrath: i believe in an efficient and usable desktop
[06:17] <fryguy> buttons840: try 1. running metacity --replace &
[06:17] <fryguy> buttons840: 2. running from outside of a terminal (alt-f2 for example)
[06:17] <bastidrazor> buttons840; run that command via alt+F2
[06:18] <buttons840> i have to enter & to prevent it from taking over the termnial?
[06:18] <fryguy> buttons840: right
[06:18] <Tyrath> fryguy: my desktop is very usable :) as for efficiency... I take your point
[06:18] <troopperi> paaa: have you read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[06:18] <fryguy> buttons840: metacity should know how to detach from it's terminal
[06:18] <Tyrath> fryguy: at least as far as power consumption etc are concerned
[06:19] <fryguy> Tyrath: the window manager I use resizes my windows for me automatically to make use of my entire screen using various algorithms, so I can focus on doing work and use my screen to the fullest, and not waste time resizing windows
[06:19] <paaa> fryguy, yes i removed fgrlx and installed that mesa thing
[06:20] <losher> fryguy: of all the things I do that waste time, resizing windows is the least of my concerns...
[06:20] <bullgard4> What intends to symbolize the light blue icon (symbol) of Empathy?
[06:20] <fryguy> Tyrath: i also don't waste screen real estate with multiple status bars, or title bars, or window borders
[06:21] <buttons840> well, i did metacity --replace & in terminal, and i got my prompt back, but when i closed the terminal, it still didn't work
[06:21] <buttons840> do i need to do &&?
[06:21] <fryguy> buttons840: so then run it from outside of a terminal (alt-f2 for example)
[06:21] <buttons840> i did that, and that worked
[06:21] <Paddy_EIRE> buttons840: do metacity --replace& exit
[06:21] <buttons840> but can i run it from a regular terminal?
[06:21] <ziroday> bullgard4: picture?
[06:21] <fryguy> buttons840: i assumed metacity, in it's tons of source code, would know how to detach from a terminal, I was wrong
[06:21] <fryguy> buttons840: no
[06:21] <Paddy_EIRE> buttons840: yes
[06:21] <Paddy_EIRE> YES
[06:21] <Paddy_EIRE> ;)
[06:22] <buttons840> do exit instead of pressing x?
[06:22] <bullgard4> ziroday: I do not understand your answer.
[06:22] <paaa> hold restarting x hope that will cut it
[06:22] <Paddy_EIRE> buttons840: yeah this exact command minus the quotes "metacity --replace& exit"
[06:22] <Mash> who got problem with dial up settings ?
[06:22] <buttons840> thanks Paddy_EIRE it worked
[06:23] <Paddy_EIRE> buttons840: sure
[06:23] <SpenceKid> Hey guys, I'm running Ubuntu 9.04(or whatever the newest version is) and whenever I'm watching videos with the default video player, I will try to maximize it and the video will go blank, freeze, and then ultimately logging me out and it's really annoying. Any suggestions?
[06:23] <buttons840> although, i prefer alt f2, ;)
[06:23] <Tyrath> ziroday: maybe I'm not using the program correctly but when I make changes nothing seems to be different. In user preferences I know that I can change controls and that alters the colours, however, there's no control currently installed on the interface that suits my other colour schemes and I can't find anywhere to download additional controls on the net
[06:23] <Paddy_EIRE> give me a terminal any day
[06:23] <fryguy> SpenceKid: try terminal of 3d effects
[06:23] <buttons840> as fryguy said, it's odd that it can't "detach itself from terminal"
[06:23] <Tyrath> ziroday: would installing some type of theme include a control by default?
[06:24] <Paddy_EIRE> buttons840: that is because you did not tell it to
[06:24] <SpenceKid> terminal of 3d effects? I'm not following..
[06:24] <fryguy> SpenceKid: sorry, i meant to say turning off
[06:24] <fryguy> SpenceKid: typing in too many channels at once
[06:24] <Mash> who knows here how to set dial up connection ?
[06:24] <SpenceKid> ohh, alrightyy, no prob, it's all good
[06:26] <paaa> fryguy, http://pastebin.com/db8e6f78 i don't care if the monitor is unknown i want to get rid of the Sync out of range while booting :(
[06:26] <losher> ! dialup | Mash
[06:26] <ziroday> Tyrath: I think what you want to do is create an entirely new GTK theme, you can use a variety of different engines which offer "widgets" which are the shape of the buttons tabs etc.
[06:26] <bullgard4> What intends to symbolize the light blue icon (symbol) of Empathy?
[06:26] <fryguy> paaa: change horizsync and vertrefresh to values that match the monitor
[06:26] <ExtremeDevilz> guys I want to download ubuntu
[06:27] <fryguy> ExtremeDevilz: www.ubuntu.com
[06:27] <ExtremeDevilz> will it work on 256 ram computer
[06:27] <fryguy> ExtremeDevilz: yes
[06:27] <Mash> how can disable Knetworkmanager ?
[06:27] <ExtremeDevilz> will it lag or anything ?
[06:27] <fryguy> ExtremeDevilz: depends on what you install
[06:27] <fryguy> ExtremeDevilz: it shouldn't
[06:27] <scunizi> ExtremeDevilz: yes but you probably won't be able to use the live cd..You'll need the alternate cd
[06:27] <ExtremeDevilz> I have 256RAM 1133MHZ 32 GFX RAM
[06:27] <Severian> ExtremeDevilz, 256 bytes of ram is not nearly enough.  It needs 192 meg or more.
[06:27] <mobi-sheep> ExtremeDevilz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu#System_requirements
[06:28] <fryguy> Severian: note that 192 < 256
[06:28] <losher> ExtremeDevilz: might wanna stick to release 8.04 though...
[06:28] <bullgard4> gnome-sound-recorder reports: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." (I did use Teamspeak2.) Where are the 'Multimedia settings' to be found?
[06:28] <Severian> fryguy, note that he did not say meg.
[06:28] <mobi-sheep> Severian: 256 is required, not recommended.
[06:28] <ExtremeDevilz> Im using puppylinux
[06:28] <ExtremeDevilz> and I having alot of trouble
[06:28] <fryguy> Severian: obviously an error in units
[06:28] <losher> ExtremeDevilz: what kind of trouble?
[06:28] <ExtremeDevilz> firefox crash
[06:29] <ExtremeDevilz> and it is very troublesome
[06:29] <ExtremeDevilz> o.o
[06:29] <paaa> fryguy, okay hold a minute
[06:29] <losher> ExtremeDevilz: might be better off with dsl (damn small linux)
[06:29] <ExtremeDevilz> o.o DSL o.o
[06:29] <ExtremeDevilz> is it good ?
[06:30] <fryguy> ExtremeDevilz: try it and see
[06:30] <Severian> ExtremeDevilz, puppy does not usually setup a swap partition or file.  When it runs out of ram, things happen like programs crashing.  Ubuntu will not have that problem.
[06:30] <losher> ExtremeDevilz: also, isn;'t crunchbang a pared down ubuntu for small systems?
[06:30] <ExtremeDevilz> ok I will download Ubuntu then
[06:31] <losher> ExtremeDevilz: I booted it once on a laptop. Seemed ok. But then again, so did puppy...
[06:31] <ExtremeDevilz> meaning ?
[06:31] <ExtremeDevilz> crunchbang ?
[06:31] <RedSocrates> Crunchbang is nice, I've used it for a while
[06:31] <losher> ExtremeDevilz: http://crunchbanglinux.org/
[06:32] <ExtremeDevilz> can anyone tell me the story of Linux
[06:32] <ExtremeDevilz> why is there so many Linux
[06:32] <SpenceKid> Okay, Whenever I would try to install stuff via synaptic program manager, I will always get this error at the end of installation.. here's the link to the error..      http://imagebin.ca/view/IqCJDoy.html
[06:32] <mobi-sheep> ExtremeDevilz: You might want to stick with PuppyLinux.  Just fix your Firefox issue.
[06:32] <fryguy> ExtremeDevilz: it's well documented on google, etc.
[06:32] <DaZ> ExtremeDevilz: there is one linux
[06:32] <paaa> fryguy,   HorizSync 30.00 - 55.00  <newline>   VertRefresh     43-60 seem to be the ideal values but i'm still getting sync out of range
[06:32] <Severian> ExtremeDevilz, crunchbang works very well on machines with 128 meg of ram.  But, it has a very minimal interface which does not suit all users.
[06:33] <fryguy> paaa: so then look at Xorg.log and find out more information
[06:33] <spektrum> hi guys, got a prob
[06:33] <ExtremeDevilz> im on 256RAM
[06:33] <ExtremeDevilz> and 1133Mhz
[06:33] <RedSocrates> ExtremeDevilz: Check this out if you're interested: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7707585592627775409
[06:33] <spektrum> basically, it seems that there are problems with administrative rights
[06:33] <SpenceKid>  Whenever I would try to install stuff via synaptic program manager, I will always get this error at the end of installation.. here's the link to the error..      http://imagebin.ca/view/IqCJDoy.html
[06:33] <ExtremeDevilz> I think I will go for crunchbag
[06:33] <Bob_Dole> xubuntu runs well on 256MB of RAM. If I could just figure out JWM...
[06:34] <ExtremeDevilz> JWM o.o
[06:34] <ExtremeDevilz> I am new to Linux
[06:34] <fryguy> SpenceKid: dpkg-reconfigure g15daemon
[06:34] <ExtremeDevilz> I went to use MintLinux first but it lag the shit out of my computer
[06:34] <ExtremeDevilz> and then I tried puppylinux which I ran into alot of trouble
[06:34] <paaa> fryguy, which one ? http://pastebin.com/d79971ffa
[06:34] <fryguy> paaa: 0
[06:35] <SpenceKid> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: g15daemon is broken or not fully installed
[06:35] <fryguy> SpenceKid: apt-get install g15daemon
[06:35] <artistxe> ExtremeDevilz, there is a community version of Mint that uses xfce .
[06:35] <snandi> sziasztok. van itt valaki aki beszél magyarul. csak kíváncsiságból ...
[06:35] <artistxe> as opposed to KDE
[06:35] <Bob_Dole> JWM= Joe's Window Manager. Looks like windows 95, included in Damn Small Linux, which will run on a 486 with 16MB of RAM :D
[06:35] <Severian> Bob_Dole, the only real trick to jwm is that you need to remember not to double click.
[06:35] <ExtremeDevilz> well all I want is a linux works on a 256ram problem
[06:36] <fryguy> or you can just change the desktop environment and/or window manager on whatever you are currently using.  installing and configuring software isn't that hard
[06:36] <ExtremeDevilz> I am going try cruchbang
[06:36] <artistxe> crunchbang is nice
[06:36] <Bob_Dole> ExtremeDevilz, xubuntu runs on 256MB RAM and 600mhz Pentium 3 Celeron(Coppermine core)
[06:36] <Bob_Dole> and it runs fine.
[06:36] <losher> ExtremeDevilz: no reason not to try them all  till you find one that suits you
[06:36] <SpenceKid> woah, got a big error.
[06:36] <ExtremeDevilz> losher : no reason to burn my pocket buying CD-R
[06:36] <ExtremeDevilz> ;)
[06:36] <paaa> fryguy, here's the log http://pastebin.com/m550a2e85 ?
[06:36] <SpenceKid> whats the site where i can paste and send the link, i forgots
[06:37] <SpenceKid> alrighty, here's the link to the error
[06:37] <losher> ExtremeDevilz: sorry, I assumed you had a burner. Blank CDs are cheaper than paper these days...
[06:37] <SpenceKid> http://pastebin.com/m5b338148
[06:37] <artistxe> ExtremeDevilz, also . xubuntu is good for newbies
[06:37] <ExtremeDevilz> >_>
[06:38] <Severian> SpenceKid, install the  pastebinit package and it become very simple.
[06:38] <ExtremeDevilz> let me just try crunchbang
[06:38] <ExtremeDevilz> since tons of you guys said it is good
[06:38] <mobi-sheep> Ubuntu Jaunty (Alternative) disc have the option of encrypted home directory OR encrypted private directory?
[06:38] <fryguy> paaa: paste your xorg.conf again?
[06:38] <ExtremeDevilz> ;) Guys
[06:38] <ExtremeDevilz> I will brb later
[06:39] <fryguy> mobi-sheep: just encrypt home directory after installation
[06:39] <Bob_Dole> I got a friend who runs a box with encrypted -swap-
[06:39] <ExtremeDevilz> I hope things goes smooth
[06:39] <losher> ExtremeDevilz: good luck
[06:39] <Tyrath> ziroday: I've realised what I want to do is theme related. I think I just need to install a new ubuntu theme
[06:39] <fryguy> Bob_Dole: I do on my other machine
[06:39] <paaa> fryguy, http://pastebin.com/d4aaf937e
[06:39] <mudittuli> i am going through my xorg logs, it says >> Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe"
[06:39] <mudittuli> why failsafe ?
[06:39] <losher> Bob_Dole: paranoid much, your friend?
[06:39] <Severian> ExtremeDevilz, The one piee of advice I would make about crunchbang is to remove the mozilla plugin that auto installs flash.  Otherwise, you machine may become infected with Adobe Flash.  Ubuntu does not do that, That was a change crunchbang made.
[06:40] <Aryaan``> Hi, can I update ubuntu from the LiveCd
[06:40] <Bob_Dole> losher, Not really, oddly enough. But he sells computers, custom setups, and I think he said he was experimenting, so I figure he may have been testing stuff out for selling to paranoid people,.
[06:40] <fryguy> paaa: try specifying driver "ati" in the device section
[06:40] <ziroday> Tyrath: sure, but you have to decide which one you want
[06:40] <ziroday> !themes | Tyrath
[06:40] <fryguy> Aryaan``: not easily
[06:41] <Aryaan``> but can I? do you know how?
[06:41] <mudittuli> i am going through my xorg logs, it says >> Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe", why failsafe ?
[06:41] <fryguy> Aryaan``: best bet would be chroot
[06:41] <Aryaan``> I dont get you..
[06:41] <Bob_Dole> The natice flash plugin on ubuntu makes things ungodly slow... when I want flash, I run the windows version of FireFox and Flash under WINE.
[06:41] <fryguy> !chroot | Aryaan``
[06:41] <artistxe> the bot is linking to vista theme site . .
[06:41] <losher> Bob_Dole: Paranoiacs always seem to have money for hardware...
[06:41] <artistxe>  (guistyles)
[06:42] <Jasa> I have the native flash working nicely, older versions were slow.
[06:42] <fryguy> Bob_Dole: flash plugin runs fine for me on various systems i've used it on. maybe you should fix that issue
[06:42] <gartral> how do i tell what recomendations a package has after iv'e installed it?
[06:42] <Aryaan``> Can I pm you, fryguy ?
[06:42] <SpenceKid> fryguy, tried to install the pastebinit app and got this error.. http://imagebin.ca/view/qOtVQt.html
[06:42] <SpenceKid> -.-
[06:42] <fryguy> gartral: apt-cache show will tell you i think
[06:42] <mohan_> essential library and files a sound to work in ubuntu jaunty?
[06:43] <fryguy> SpenceKid: install it from a command line so you get better errors
[06:43] <fryguy> mohan_: everything is installed for sound by default, why not share a specific problem
[06:43] <fryguy> Aryaan``: no
[06:43] <Aryaan``> damn
[06:43] <Aryaan``> lol
[06:43] <bullgard4> gnome-sound-recorder reports: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." (I did use Teamspeak2.) Where are the 'Multimedia settings' to be found?
[06:43] <mohan_> fryguy: my usb based sound device not detected
[06:44] <ExtremeDevilz> what steve talking about
[06:44] <Bob_Dole> fryguy, a bug in Adobe Flash prevents a game I like from running anyways, everyone on linux has it from all I was reading, so right now running the windows version fixes both my problems.
[06:44] <Severian> SpenceKid, try pastebinit anyway.  That bug probably did not stop the install.
[06:44] <losher> Aryaan``: what version are you upgrading from/to ?
[06:44] <fryguy> mohan_: so look up what the device is (lspci and/or lsusb), and see what steps you need to follow to make it work on google
[06:44] <fryguy> mohan_: or just ask here and i'm sure somebody will google it for you
[06:44] <fryguy> Bob_Dole: what game
[06:45] <Bob_Dole> fryguy, zOMG, it's part of GaiaOnline, and an MMORPG.
[06:45] <SpenceKid> Severian, i do not see it anywhere under applications
[06:45] <ExtremeDevilz> my download speed is cap at 126
[06:45] <fryguy> Bob_Dole: link?
[06:45] <ExtremeDevilz> my download speed is cap at 126kb/s
[06:45] <Bob_Dole> fryguy, www.gaiaonline.com you have to signup first for that, then it's under the games tab. it's all free
[06:45] <ExtremeDevilz> 1h 25mins
[06:45] <mohan_> fryguy lsusb shows : Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
[06:45] <mohan_> Bus 002 Device 002: ID 194f:0301
[06:45] <mohan_> Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
[06:45] <Severian> SpenceKid, it is a command line application.  You pass it the name of a file with the information you want on the pastebin.
[06:46] <mohan_> fryguy: should those commands show my device?
[06:46] <fryguy> mohan_: yep
[06:46] <SpenceKid> I'm sorry, i don't follow..
[06:46] <coolkourt> how do i make  directories writable in my lamp setup
[06:46] <spektrum> so, from the beginning: I've installed kbunut desktop over ubuntu installation long long ago, but yesterday kdm login screen refused to work, it will just fade to black and return to login screen. So I've set gdm as a default manager. But the problem is that certain things don't work, like i don't have any rights. For example, desktop configuration is not saving, I got to run firefox with sudo for it to work fully, thunderbird tell
[06:46] <spektrum> s me it don't have enough space to save mail, although I got 1 gb free space
[06:47] <mohan_> fryguy: its not naming my device
[06:47] <fryguy> Bob_Dole: when does it break?
[06:47] <Severian> SpenceKid, go to Applications/Accessories/Terminal.  Run the program from there.
[06:47] <fryguy> mohan_: is it plugged in?
[06:47] <mohan_> fryguy: yes
[06:47] <fryguy> is it in lspci
[06:47] <Bob_Dole> fryguy, Upon talking with one of the servers. it sends a bad packet, talks a bit more, then quits talking to it
[06:47] <losher> ExtremeDevilz: re: download cap -- then I agree with whoever said you should fix your firefox crash problem instead....
[06:47] <SpenceKid> Severian, I'm a noob with Ubuntu yet, how do i run a program via Terminal
[06:47] <Bob_Dole> According to one person's post who inspected what it was doing
[06:48] <mohan_> fryguy: no..
[06:48] <Bob_Dole> But it stops at loading the server, and times out, for everyoner
[06:48] <spektrum> does anyone got a clue about my problem?
[06:48] <fryguy> Bob_Dole: seems to work fine here
[06:48] <Severian> SpenceKid, Did you go where I suggested?  You have to do that first.  Then, just type the name of the program.  In this case, pastebinit
[06:49] <Bob_Dole> flash get updated recently..or did they make a work around I wonder... hmm *goes to try zOMG*
[06:49] <fryguy> Bob_Dole: i'm using the same flash i've been using for a few months
[06:50] <bullgard4> What intends to symbolize the light blue icon (symbol) of Empathy?
[06:50] <mohan_> fryguy: doing the command in verbose mode shows my device in Bus 002 Device 002: ID 194f:0301
[06:50] <Bob_Dole> fryguy, the problem wasn't isolated, anything but... so I'm going to load it up from the native version and see if Gaia made a workaround
[06:50] <fryguy> mohan_: and what is the name of the device
[06:50] <Severian> bullgard4, Your question does not make sense.  That is probably why you don't have an answer to the question you keep asking.
[06:51] <mohan_> fryguy: it shows in   iManufacturer           1 PreSonus Audio
[06:51] <mohan_> and product as   iProduct                2 AudioBox USB
[06:51] <spektrum> please, someone help  me
[06:52] <Bob_Dole> fryguy, nope. I clicked "play" then it went to "loading ui" continued for a bit.. that went away...and then 104 Connection Timeout

[06:52] <losher> bullgard4: you might have better luck in #gnome
[06:52] <noisymouse_> spektrum: 1 GB nowadays isn't that much space - it's probably a good idea to have a little bit more than that available. That said, you might look to make sure your temporary files are deleted and such
[06:52] <ExtremeDevilz> losher:nah I got time to wait
[06:52] <mudittuli> i m on ubuntu hardy
[06:52] <bullgard4> losher: #gnome is a pretty sleeping channel.

[06:55] <duanedesign> what is the g for at the end of: sed -i 's/jaunty/karmic/g'
[06:56] <spektrum> ye, I think so
[06:56] <spektrum> but how to fix it
[06:56] <fryguy> oDuda: you might accidentally do something and break your machine, and if you are connected to the internet as root (for example via irc), it's possible that a security vulnerability in the client you are using could get you hacked
[06:56] <fryguy> duanedesign: do it for every occurrence on the line
[06:56] <Bob_Dole> oDuda, deleting something you really shouldn't, installing malicious software expecting people to run as root all the time, umm...
[06:56] <mudittuli> fryguy: http://pastebin.com/m6d010e7f
[06:56] <spektrum> oh, and PC doesn't ask me about login details, it just loads

[06:56] <spektrum> seem strange
[06:57] <Severian> oDuda, all sorts of things.  You are vulnerable to bugs.  You can accidentally delete things.

[06:57] <lbs_> Hi,who is familar with c program?
[06:57] <sysadmin> is there any advantage/disadvantage on debian vs ubuntu?
[06:57] <fryguy> mudittuli: what happens if you move the file to like xorg.conf.failsafe.BAK
[06:57] <fryguy> lbs_: ##c
[06:57] <lbs_> fryguy:GNU C
[06:58] <fryguy> sysadmin: different repositories, some mind find one more suitable for a purpose than another
[06:58] <fryguy> lbs_: ##c
[06:58] <fryguy> lbs_: (the channel, join it)
[06:58] <oDuda> fryguy and Bob_Dole and Severian - thank you all ! would be like using windows ? hahahaha
[06:58] <coolkourt> how do I increase the size on my partition? I use live cd but i dont know how to increase the space for my main partition
[06:58] <sysadmin> fryguy, are most of apps available in ubuntu available for debian as well?
[06:58] <bullgard4> lbs_: /j #c
[06:58] <fryguy> sysadmin: yes
[06:58] <pizzledizzle> so i guess ubuntu automatically mounts tmpfs automatically (things like varrun, varlock,udev, etc) but is there anyway to tell it how much space to allocate to these mounts?
[06:59] <Severian> oDuda, It would not be quite that bad, but close.  Windows also leaves all sorts of services open and make a lot of apis executable.
[06:59] <Bob_Dole> oDuda, pretty much. Only even windows is starting to restrict things a little better than what running as root all the time would be like- just it still has more people out to attack it than linux...
[06:59] <mudittuli> fryguy: ? nothing it just moves !
[07:00] <fryguy> mudittuli: and when you run X11 again?
[07:00] <sysadmin> fryguy, great. do you know if there are any aspects that I should be aware of before moving from ubuntu to debian?
[07:00] <spektrum> losher: and atm some weird stuff appeared in my "root" folder. Video, music and stuff, just like in home folder. But I guess it's not supposed to be there
[07:00] <fryguy> sysadmin: a lot less software is installed by default, and a lot less hardware is configred by default
[07:00] <mudittuli> fryguy sorry
[07:00] <gartral> how can i log the keyboard?
[07:00] <mudittuli> it says >> mv: cannot stat `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe': No such file or directory
[07:00] <fryguy> sysadmin: a lot less stuff "magically works"
[07:00] <sosdiode> hi all
[07:00] <fryguy> mudittuli: you need to run the command as root
[07:01] <losher> spektrum: that's probably explained by your running things with sudo....
[07:01] <losher> sysadmin: dunno what you'd hope to gain by moving from Ubuntu to debian....
[07:01] <paaa> fryguy, still :(
[07:01] <sosdiode> hi guys got my music on triple j australia have listen download if u like
[07:01] <sysadmin> fryguy, then I will stick to ubuntu :s. I wanna save myself some work. Now, I was thinking on moving to debian because there is a tutorial on encrypting a usb drive with debian. Is something similar for ubuntu?
[07:01] <sosdiode> http://www.triplejunearthed.com/Artists/View.aspx?artistid=8504
[07:02] <sosdiode> http://www.triplejunearthed.com/Artists/View.aspx?artistid=8504
[07:02] <sosdiode> ty for ur time
[07:02] <fryguy> sysadmin: the procedure should be the same
[07:02] <oDuda> Severian and Bob_Dole - but look... using a computer to my own use... only mine... not important data stored... only to please on running linux... whats the bad ? :-)
[07:02] <fryguy> truecrypt is available for both systems, encfs is available for both systems, etc.
[07:02] <sysadmin> fryguy, ok
[07:02] <spektrum> oh, and upon trying to launch some program it said something about dcop server
[07:02] <lbs_> what is the best way to return string from function?
[07:02] <Bob_Dole> oDuda, having to reinstall if you goof.
[07:02] <oDuda> * pleasure...
[07:03] <Bob_Dole> But once upon a time.. I reinstalled every other month, so that was nothing to me.
[07:03] <mudittuli> fryguy: i am running as root !
[07:03] <fryguy> oDuda: having somebody ELSE use your computer without your knowledge
[07:03] <fryguy> mudittuli: you aren't
[07:03] <losher> spektrum: sorry, sounds like you need more help than I can offer....
[07:03] <mudittuli> the same >>  mv: cannot stat `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe': No such file or directory
[07:03] <lbs_> I pass  one string to sub function and then return a new string from the sub function.
[07:03] <oDuda> Bob_Dole ok ok... fryguy you are right...
[07:03] <mudittuli> fryguy: lmao
[07:03] <spektrum> losher: where can i get some? :)
[07:03] <fryguy> mudittuli: then the file isn't there anymore, what happens when you restart X11?
[07:04] <gartral> how can i log the keyboard?
[07:04] <Severian> oDuda, some distros run everything as root.  Puppy does and one big distro that is gone now.  It can be ok to start that way.  But, nobody I know that stays with Linux runs that way.
[07:04] <mudittuli> fryguy: u mean restart xserver ?
[07:04] <losher> spektrum: right here. Repeat your question about every 30 minutes until someone who knows responds....
[07:04] <fryguy> mudittuli: yes
[07:04] <mudittuli> hang on !
[07:04] <Bob_Dole> When I started I ran Fedora 5 and 6 as root a lot.
[07:04] <fryguy> gartral: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lkl/
[07:05] <Severian> Bob_Dole, And would you do it now?
[07:05] <Bob_Dole> Severian, nope.
[07:05] <sosdiode> http://www.triplejunearthed.com/Artists/View.aspx?artistid=8504
[07:05] <coolkourt> how do I increase the size on my partition? I use live cd but i dont know how to increase the space for my main partition
[07:05] <gartral> fryguy: lkl is way to buggy for reliable usage..
[07:06] <sysadmin> anyone knows how to setup a live ubuntu encrypted flashdrive?
[07:06] <fryguy> coolkourt: gparted (the partitioner) is pretty straightforward, what is the actual problem
[07:06] <paulo> still having the same problem with alsa-oss and adobe plugin
[07:06] <fryguy> gartral: so then try a hardware keylogger
[07:06] <Severian> Bob_Dole, That is my point.  If he feels a need to do it while starting, I think it is fine.  But, I'd recommend he plan on reinstalling from scratch when 9.10 comes out and run as a regular user.
[07:06] <coolkourt> fryguy: well i wanna increase my installations hard drive capacity
[07:06] <paulo> cant seem to find the file where to set it
[07:06] <shamanix> this may not be the best place to ask, but is there software for linux that does something like http://www.kcsoftwares.com/index.php?ignition or http://bttb.sourceforge.net/ ?
[07:06] <fryguy> gartral: or contribute some patches to the project to make it better
[07:06] <fryguy> coolkourt: it pretty much gives you little bars to drag to size...
[07:07] <Bob_Dole> I've only had 1 problem with gparted.. I created an image of ubuntu on a 9.5gb drive, and dd'd it to a 9.3gb drive.. gparted said the whole drive was unallocated as a result, even though it booted fine.
[07:07] <sosdiode> http://www.triplejunearthed.com/Artists/View.aspx?artistid=8504
[07:07] <oDuda> Severian i understand you... today i.e.... i installed 3 times ubuntu 9.04 to get dialup connection to internet... using pppd at start and then installing gnome-ppp (that is not running properly) that needs root to call pppd (dependant?)... i thinked in use root all the time to solve the issue...
[07:07] <Severian> shamanix, Yes.  But I can't tell you the name.  I have seen such programs.
[07:07] <gartral> fryguy: i'de rather do it at kernel level, or possibly through grep or the like
[07:07] <fryguy> gartral: so then do that
[07:08] <coolkourt> fryguy: it doesnt allow me to increase the partition
[07:08] <fryguy> coolkourt: is there another partition in the way?
[07:08] <coolkourt> yea
[07:08] <fryguy> make that one smaller first
[07:08] <whatvn> how can I reset my theme to default? I cannot change theme to others :(
[07:08] <losher> shamanix: I haven't seen anything which 'optimises' dvd space. Blank dvds are so cheap now I wouldn't worry about it...
[07:08] <gartral> fryguy: i dont knopw how... i tryed greping /lib/udev/devices/stdin to a file, but that didnt do anything..
[07:09] <Jasa> Yeah, i should get new pack of empty dvds at some point ... using to testing different distros and they should just add some universal network installation cd for every distro out there. -.-
[07:10] <pizzledizzle> does anyone know the name of the manager that automatically mounts all the tmpfs partitions onubuntu so i can google it
[07:10] <sosdiode> rue_more
[07:10] <fryguy> pizzledizzle: it's called tmpfs
[07:11] <coolkourt> fryguy:it goes extended, ext3 and linux swap, the space i wanna use is 60gigs of unallocated
[07:11] <fryguy> so delete the linux swap, make ext3 as big as you want, then recreate linux swap
[07:12] <fryguy> or just leave it alone because there's probably no reason to resize the partition
[07:12] <mr_step> can anyone tell me where gnome stores the samba config info when you use the gui to create a share?  it doesn't seem to be in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[07:12] <Jasa> Anyone has any problems with watching television on totem-gstreamer or totem-xine ?
[07:12] <fryguy> mr_step: it's in ~/.gvfs
[07:12] <mr_step> fryguy: thanksyou.
[07:13] <Bob_Dole> My biggest problem is Acronis likes to delete the UUID of the swap partition when it has to be resized...and 256MB of RAM isn't the best system to not be having swap working on. and having ~50 machines isn't fun manually fixing.
[07:14] <pizzledizzle> fryguy, i got a bunch of tmpfs partitions reveald by df that are not in  fstab. im wondering how they're created and how i can configure them. i need to know what this process is called so i can research it
[07:14] <oDuda> Severian Bob_Dole - thanks guys !
[07:14] <losher> Bob_Dole: if you resize a partition, I think the uuid is obliged to change. After all, it's a *unique* identifier, so if the size changes, so must the identifier...
[07:14] <fryguy> pizzledizzle: you almost certainly don't have to configure them
[07:14] <Bob_Dole> losher, it doesn't replace it
[07:15] <pizzledizzle> fryguy, yeah but i want to know how it works in better detail
[07:15] <fryguy> pizzledizzle: so then google it, like i told you it's called tmpfs
[07:15] <mudittuli> fryguy: still it loads the failsafe file !
[07:15] <TannerS> guys there was a program that i installed once that gave me extar visual effects in apperance setttings, what was it? and no its not compiz
[07:15] <gartral> if UUIDs are "Unique" then why do raids have so much trouble with all the partitions having the same UUID?
[07:16] <fryguy> mudittuli: delete all Xorg.logs, delete the failsafe xorg.conf file, and then restart X and pastebin both Xorg.logs that appear
[07:16] <fryguy> TannerS: ccsm
[07:16] <fryguy> TannerS: which is compiz
[07:16] <losher> gartral: dunno. There a spec on it somewhere that says what the rules are. I've never read it though....
[07:16] <TannerS> no it was not compiz....
[07:17] <fryguy> TannerS: it is
[07:17] <TannerS> im sure it had a diff name
[07:17] <TannerS> just cant rmemeber what it was'
[07:17] <fryguy> TannerS: like i just said, it's ccsm
[07:17] <pizzledizzle> fryguy, i know what tmpfs is. i want to know for instance why ubuntu creates a tmpfs partition 249meg in size for varlock
[07:17] <RedSocrates> TannerS: Are you just talking about the Visual Effects settings in "Appearance Preferences"?
[07:17] <RedSocrates> TannerS: If that's what you're talking about, fryguy is semi-right, although it's not ccsm exactly
[07:17] <Severian> TannerS, compizconfig-settings-manager, which was just referred to as ccsm
[07:17] <TannerS> ya it was a program that gave an extra setting int here with more options
[07:17] <fryguy> TannerS: it's ccsm
[07:17] <TannerS> red
[07:18] <RedSocrates> TannerS: That's the friendly Ubuntu front end, more or less
[07:18] <RedSocrates> TannerS: So it is compiz
[07:18] <fryguy> !ccsm
[07:18] <RedSocrates> There you go
[07:18] <RedSocrates> simple-ccsm
[07:19] <RedSocrates> The full-blown ccsm is different, but it's all compiz underneath
[07:19] <bullgard4> What does the light blue icon (symbol) of Empathy symbolize?
[07:19] <TannerS> hmm let me try it out..
[07:19] <bullgard4> gnome-sound-recorder reports: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." (I did use Teamspeak2.) Where are the 'Multimedia settings' to be found?
[07:21] <whatvn> how can I reset gnome config to default setting?
[07:21] <coolkourt> how would i use an unallocated space to increase the size on my primary partition?
[07:21] <fryguy> coolkourt: you use gparted
[07:21] <fryguy> coolkourt: keep in mind that the unallocated space needs to be contiguous with the partition you are trying to expand
[07:23] <Kiy> so, i tried to install gfx card drivers, and now everyhting is garbled. i tried xfix, and it did nothign for me. anyhting else i can do, or should i reinstall?
[07:23] <fryguy> Kiy: what exactly is wrong
[07:23] <Severian> bullgard4, OK, I see what you want to know now.  How about including a pointer to a picture of the icon?
[07:24] <Kiy> when i restarted, everything on the screen is carbled, like right not, its jsut some scattered black/white lines on the bottom of the screen
[07:24] <Kiy> *garbled
[07:24] <Kiy> *messed up
[07:24] <fryguy> Kiy: what drivers did you install
[07:24] <coolkourt> fryguy: so how would i move the partition to the location where the others are.
[07:24] <Severian> fryguy, coolkourt , or you need to have setup your partitions with LVM.  Then, you can add space from available disk space pools.
[07:24] <fryguy> coolkourt: like i told you before, while installing, just delete swap and then recreate it after you sized the other partition how you want
[07:24] <Kiy> i installed.....ati radeon express 200, from the ati website
[07:25] <coolkourt> k
[07:25] <wgato> i'm trying to see a shared directory on ubuntu from my xp machine
[07:25] <fryguy> Kiy: why
[07:25] <TannerS> guys I want to resize my windows partition, but gparted or w.e wont let me do anythign but delete
[07:25] <fryguy> Kiy: ubuntu provides drivers for you, use those unless you have a reason not to
[07:25] <bullgard4> Severian: The word 'pointer' has many different meanings. Thus I do not understand what you are advising. Which one do you mean?
[07:25] <mudittuli> fryguy: here http://pastebin.com/m1cdfaeb8
[07:25] <fryguy> TannerS: try running ntfsfix first
[07:26] <abhilash> i installed amarok on ubuntu Gnome, but its not playing,says audio output bad/not found, is there any different version for GNOME amarok??
[07:26] <TannerS> fryguy whats that?
[07:26] <Kiy> um, it told me ther there was none of these proprietary drivers in use on my computer
[07:26] <fryguy> TannerS: a program
[07:26] <TannerS> fryguy how can i run it?
[07:26] <fryguy> mudittuli: that's only one, where is the other
[07:26] <Kiy> also, 3d stuff was really slow -.-
[07:27] <Severian> bullgard4, I mean find a web page with a good picture of the icon.  Then, post it here so people can look at it.  Most people do not have that program installed.
[07:27] <fryguy> TannerS: http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsfix.8.html there's a link to it's manpage
[07:27] <fryguy> Kiy: it probably told you it wasn't using the proprietary drivers because they don't work with your setup
[07:27] <TannerS> and this wont mess up my windows partition
[07:27] <fryguy> TannerS: it might
[07:27] <mudittuli> fryguy, you mean  Xorg.0.log.old ?
[07:27] <whatvn> can someone please tell me how can I reset gnome to default setting?
[07:27] <abhilash> i installed amarok on ubuntu Gnome, but its not playing,says audio output bad/not found, is there any different version for GNOME amarok??
[07:27] <fryguy> TannerS: you should make a backup before doing anything with a partition
[07:27] <sosdiode> http://smithsonianchips.si.edu/ice/4004p3.htm
[07:27] <TannerS> yikes
[07:28] <Kiy> its not that it wouldent use any, its that there were none listed.
[07:28] <fryguy> whatvn: delete ~/.gnome, ~/.gnome2 should get you most of the way there
[07:28] <TannerS> what other partition program can i get for linux
[07:28] <whatvn> fryguy: I did, but it doesn't take effect
[07:28] <fryguy> Kiy: right, because none were available for your hardware configuration
[07:28] <fryguy> whatvn: and .gconf and .gconfd
[07:28] <mudittuli> fryguy, do you mean Xorg.0.log.old ?
[07:29] <fryguy> mudittuli: yes
[07:29] <fryguy> mudittuli: i told you it was going to create 2 and to send both
[07:29] <whatvn> fryguy: all of theme, but when I log out and login, I cannot chose my theme. it looks like I cannot access to /usr/share/themes directory

[07:30] <whatvn> fryguy: I mean whatever theme I choose, gnome don't care
[07:30] <fryguy> mudittuli: you need to mv xorg.conf.failsafe out of the way
[07:30] <TannerS> how can i run an install program as root? or admin or w/e
[07:30] <fryguy> TannerS: use sudo to run commands as root
[07:31] <mudittuli> fryguy how to ?
[07:31] <Tyrath> ziroday: thanks for all the help
[07:31] <fryguy> mudittuli: use the mv command
[07:31] <TannerS> but idk how to run this program
[07:31] <bullgard4> Severian: Your advise was very good. I found http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2007/08/empathy-toolkit-simplifies-instant-messaging-integration.ars and could answer myself the question put. --  Thank you for your advice.

[07:32] <mudittuli> because everytime vserver loads the failsafe conf ?
[07:32] <jza> anyone knows?

[07:34] <fryguy> TannerS: what specifically are you trying to do
[07:35] <mudittuli> hmm
[07:35] <mudittuli> fryguy: thanks !
[07:35] <TannerS> KDE Partition Manager requires admin to be able to partition my drives ii need to run it wiht root in termninal
[07:35] <Severian> Movie Player can use gstreamer or xine.  The gstreamer codecs will work, I think.
[07:35] <dennis> can u video chat on ps3
[07:35] <fryguy> TannerS: so then use sudo to run it as root
[07:36] <fornix> Severian: is virtualbox better than vmware?
[07:36] <TannerS> fryguy tannersummers@tannersummers-linux:~$ sudo KDE Partition Manager
[07:36] <TannerS> sudo: KDE: command not found
[07:36] <fryguy> TannerS: that is not the name of the program
[07:36] <fryguy> TannerS: you need to find the program that it's running
[07:36] <TannerS> that wat it says in the menu..i told u im new =]
[07:36] <fryguy> TannerS: run it again
[07:37] <Severian> fornix, They each have advantages.  I like virtualbox-ose because it is open source and does what I need.
[07:37] <fryguy> then open up a terminal
[07:37] <TannerS> k
[07:37] <fryguy> and type ps -ef and look for it there
[07:37] <fr500> fornix: better as in free
[07:37] <Severian> fornix, vmware is a more mature tool and does some things better.
[07:37] <nomad77> TannerS: try sudo qtparted
[07:37] <TannerS> nomad77 nope
[07:38] <Kiy> okay, i think i know where i messed up with my display drivers..... i installed the wrong ones -.- if i follow instructions to install the right ones, will it overwrite the bad ones?
[07:38] <TannerS> holy god ps -ef came with lot of test
[07:38] <TannerS> text
[07:38] <fryguy> Kiy: probably, the drivers you are installing aren't supported by ubuntu, so we have no idea
[07:39] <DaZ> kiy what drivers
[07:39] <Olivier> Hello, I unfortunately do not speak good English, so I have my question via google translated. can someone tell me what Wlan Driver Package: linux-backports-modules are available? Madwifi I know, but I believe other drivers are still available. Yours sincerely, Olivier
[07:39] <Kiy> well, i installed the ati drivers for my motherboard, not for my ati card.
[07:39] <sosdiode> http://www.triplejunearthed.com/Artists/View.aspx?artistid=8504
[07:39] <Kiy> i got confused.
[07:39] <darlek> Kly: the latest install is then the active install so that would be likely
[07:39] <Severian> fornix, I do know one thing virtualbox does much better.  It is easy to install guest additions.  That is what lets the virtual machine have better video drivers and mouse integration.  That is difficult to setup in vmware.  At least, it was for me.
[07:40] <mudittuli> fryguy: but how to move it ?
[07:40] <fryguy> mudittuli: using the mv command
[07:40] <fryguy> mv <source> <destination>
[07:40] <darlek> Kly: if unsure uninstall existing drivers and start fresh with the new driver install
[07:40] <fryguy> mudittuli: you'll need to run it as root
[07:41] <nomad77> TannerS: try sudo partitionmanager then
[07:41] <mudittuli> fryguy: yes yes, i have attempted that, but it still loads the failsafe conf file !
[07:41] <fryguy> mudittuli: then you didn't move it
[07:41] <mudittuli> fryguy: yes I did !
[07:41] <TannerS> nomad77 u nailed it thansk man
[07:41] <fryguy> ls -l /etc/X11
[07:41] <fryguy> mudittuli: run that
[07:41] <nomad77> sure,thank google
[07:41] <Severian> fryguy, I believe it will be recreated upon boot, if x.org needs it.
[07:42] <bullgard4> gnome-sound-recorder reports: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." (I did use Teamspeak2.) Where are the 'Multimedia settings' to be found?
[07:42] <TannerS> nomad77 where did u find it cuase i looked on google right before u foudn it
[07:42] <mudittuli> fryguy: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe.BAK ?
[07:42] <Severian> fryguy, That part is mysterious to me, but I have seen it come back.
[07:42] <fryguy> mudittuli: yes
[07:42] <fryguy> Severian: it comes back, but he hasn't shown me a log saying this yet, so i'm forced to assume he's doing it wrong
[07:42] <mudittuli> now reboot my machine or the xserver ?
[07:43] <fryguy> mudittuli: xserver
[07:43] <nomad77> TannerS: i checked this,grabbed it looked at the files inside http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/KDE-Partition-Manager-Download-41402.html
[07:43] <Severian> fryguy, ok.  That make sense. You are just being careful.
[07:43] <TannerS> ty man
[07:43] <Bob_Dole> Oh, fryguy, if you can see this thread on gaia, it shows the bug in flash that keeps zOMG from working http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/games-bugs/zomg-104-connection-time-out-linux-flash-10-analyzed/t.46347053/
[07:44] <Bob_Dole> If I knew how to copy the testing method to perhaps verify, I would :/
[07:47] <Olivier> Hello, I unfortunately do not speak good English, so I have my question via google translated. can someone tell me what Wlan Driver Package: linux-backports-modules are available? Madwifi I know, but I believe other drivers are still available. Yours sincerely, Olivier
[07:47] <fw0rd> where in ubuntu can i find out the current bit depth of the desktop
[07:47] <fryguy> fw0rd: xrandr
[07:47] <mudittuli> fryguy: yes, it still oads the failsafe conf !
[07:48] <fryguy> mudittuli: so mv the file, delete all of the Xorg.logs, and then restart X and send all xorg.logs
[07:48] <fw0rd> fryguy: doesn't seem to list bit depth, just the frequencies
[07:49] <fryguy> fw0rd: xdpyinfo
[07:49] <fw0rd> thx
[07:50] <fw0rd> hmmm... very verbose output on that one, which shows 'available stuff', how to disambiguate to just what is currently selected
[07:52] <paul__> !ndiswrapper
[07:53] <nomad77> fw0rd: try this cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf |grep -i depth
[07:53] <Olivier> Thank you very much, will look this time. Olivier Gruss
[07:54] <fw0rd> nomad77: nuthin comes out of that
[07:54] <Severian> fw0rd, xdpyinfo | grep "depth of root window"
[07:55] <fw0rd> thx all. Severian that was it
[07:55] <SimonXu> >	Hi! I mistakenly deleted some files in /usr/share, can I use dpkg to repair the packages?
[07:55] <maxagaz> how to print only date and name of files in a folder using find and printf ?
[07:55] <DaZ> SimonXu: you can reinstall
[07:56] <wgato> i can see my ubuntu machine from xp but not the directory i am trying to share. any suggestions?
[07:56] <fryguy> wgato: /etc/samba/smb.conf add the directory there
[07:56] <SimonXu> DaZ: I executed "sudo rm -rf /usr/share" for about 1 second, how do I reinstall all the packages affected?
[07:57] <Tanner_Linux> guys whats the program name to cahnge around the defualt os boot and such?
[07:57] <DaZ> SimonXu: if you didn't clean the cache you should have them somewhere
[07:57] <wgato> where in smb.conf should i add it?
[07:57] <Severian> Tanner_Linux, gedit
[07:58] <hariom> cleat

[07:59] <Tanner_Linux> severian can i pm u real fast?
[07:59] <Severian> sure

[08:00] <testi> How can I share the internet with my laptop?
[08:00] <fryguy> mudittuli: there's no other Xorg.log files?
[08:00] <fryguy> testi: buy a router is the easiest way
[08:00] <koshari1> testi get a switch
[08:00] <bullgard4> gnome-sound-recorder reports: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." (I did use Teamspeak2.) Where are the 'Multimedia settings' to be found?
[08:00] <fryguy> routers are cheap, and it's not worth the effort to do anything else
[08:01] <mudittuli> fryguy: nope !
[08:01] <testi> fryguy no i can't put my mobile phone into the router, therefor this idea is useless.
[08:01] <fryguy> mudittuli: then i have no idea
[08:01] <hariom> can someone tell me.How to install a wired connection
[08:01] <mudittuli> fryguy: lol, thanks !
[08:01] <fryguy> testi: what does your mobile phone have to do with the initial question?
[08:01] <gnr> hi! How can i list all devices that i have?
[08:01] <fryguy> gnr: lspci
[08:02] <gnr> thnaks
[08:02] <fryguy> gnr: lshw might be better
[08:02] <bullgard4> hariom: Your question is too general. Nobody will give you a full lecture on networking. --  Normally NetworkManager will do that for you.
[08:02] <testi> fryguy: the follow: a laptop is capable of more functions as a dedicated routing device. The initial question contains "laptop", because it is clear to anyone that it can deal with such stuff as mobile phones.
[08:02] <JackGray> testi: bluetooth tether
[08:03] <hariom> yahnks
[08:03] <hariom> thnks
[08:03] <jimmyjh> Hello all, I installed Xubuntu, i mounted my fat32 hd, but i cannot write on the drive
[08:03] <testi> JackGray: Bluetooth tether?
[08:03] <fryguy> testi: so then set up iptables, install natd, configure ip masquerading in the kernel, and you are good to go
[08:04] <gnr> cat /proc/mounts
[08:04] <testi> fryguy: that sounds better. i required exactly that checklist :) Thanks
[08:04] <fryguy> testi: there's other stuff too, i glossed over the details
[08:05] <testi> fryguy: Oh.. yeah i think i require the details
[08:05] <fryguy> testi: first google result here: http://www.stanford.edu/~fenn/linux/
[08:05] <jimmyjh> gnr, /dev/sda5 /mnt/fat32 vfat rw,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
[08:06] <Tanner_Linux> so i ahve ubuntu 9..04 and im hearing aobvut this KDE, whats the diff and how can i get it and if i do will my ubutu get jacked up?
[08:06] <fryguy> testi: another useful link here (for different distro though so maybe not as helpful) http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml
[08:06] <fryguy> !installkde
[08:06] <gnr> jimmy it's rw
[08:06] <fryguy> !kde | Tanner_Linux
[08:06] <eternaljoy> what are the main differences between 9/04 and 8,04?
[08:06] <jimmyjh> gnr, but it still wont write :(
[08:06] <Tanner_Linux> is it bad?
[08:06] <testi> But I wonder if there is a tool that collects all this configuration into one tool. dhcpd, routing etc.
[08:06] <koshari1> eternaljoy: kernel
[08:07] <jimmyjh> gnr, reboot needed for changes to take effect?
[08:07] <fryguy> eternaljoy: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes
[08:07] <planemad> i have an external hdd partitioned into two. im trying to get the second half to be a live usb install. followed instructions from here http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-904-persistent-install-windows/ but its still not bootable
[08:07] <gnr> jimmy: no need for reboot
[08:07] <xxubuntu> how do you open a .deb file in xubuntu?
[08:07] <fryguy> xxubuntu: use dpkg
[08:07] <xxubuntu> fryguy, how do you do that?
[08:07] <jimmyjh> gnr, didnt think so, but it acts read only
[08:07] <Severian> testi,  take an old PC and set it up with IPCOP.  That is a very good router/firewall.  Buch better than any consumer grade router.
[08:07] <gnr> jimmy #touch /mnt/fat32/deleteme.txt ehat's error?
[08:08] <fryguy> xxubuntu: dpkg is a command, read it's manpage, basically 'dpkg -i blah.deb'
[08:08] <jimmyjh> gnr, lemme see
[08:08] <eternaljoy> thanks fryguy + koshari1
[08:08] <xxubuntu> what does the -i stand for?
[08:08] <fryguy> xxubuntu: install
[08:08] <gnr> jimmy: #mount -o remount,rw /mnt/fat32
[08:09] <Tanner_Linux> how can ia ccess sessions?
[08:09] <Severian> testi, IPCOP is easy to setup and does not need much of a machine.  The machine does need at least to network interfaces.
[08:09] <xxubuntu> how do you register a nick
[08:09] <fryguy> Tanner_Linux: it's the dropdown in gdm when you first log in
[08:09] <fryguy> xxubuntu: /msg nickserv help
[08:09] <Tanner_Linux> =]
[08:09] <testi> Severian: I have such a setting at home and it really consumed much of time to set it up and yes the quality of that router is much better than the average router provides, but now i just want to share my mobile phones internet to other computers that i can connect to the laptop (all mobile)
[08:09] <jimmyjh> text file is empty
[08:10] <jimmyjh> gnr, no error text file is empty
[08:10] <gnr> jimmy: means you can write to it
[08:10] <testi> IPCop, okay
[08:10] <fryguy> testi: so set up your mobile phone internet, and change that to be the default route, and nat will use that instead of your other connection
[08:10] <jimmyjh> gnr, gonna try again :) thanks gnr
[08:11] <gnr> jimmy: touch is to change timestamp, but it will create empty file if didn't exists
[08:11] <Severian> testi, OK.  It is possible in Linux to do that.  The Mac does it easily.  I'll see if I can find you something for Ubuntu.
[08:11] <testi> ah yes. IPCop is a whole distribution :)
[08:11] <jimmyjh> gnr, ah i see, i learn something new all the time
[08:12] <Tanner_Linux> i installed kde desktop, now what? reboot?
[08:12] <fryguy> Tanner_Linux: restart X
[08:12] <oDuda> heya all !
[08:12] <coolkourt> whats the command to repair broken programs and clean up ubuntu?
[08:12] <Tanner_Linux> thanks
[08:12] <wildc4rd> will Ubuntu recognise and mount hotswapped sATA HDD's?
[08:12] <jimmyjh> gnr, still acting as if its read only...  puzzled
[08:12] <fryguy> coolkourt: what program is broken
[08:12] <fryguy> wildc4rd: yes
[08:12] <Severian> testi, Yes, it is a small distro.  It has just what you need and no more.  There are a couple other similar router distos, but I like IPCOP the best so far.
[08:12] <gnr> jimmy: what makes you think like that?
[08:13] <coolkourt> fryguy: after i grew the partition firefox and prism apps dont work, luckily xchat did
[08:13] <Tanner_Linux> freguy not doing anyhting
[08:13] <oDuda> intel 865g video onboard and ubuntu 9.04 having bad performance
[08:13] <fryguy> Tanner_Linux: when you restart X, there is a session dropdown, change that to KDE
[08:13] <jimmyjh> gnr, this is how i mounted the drive ....  "sudo mkdir /mnt/fat32      then    sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/fat32
[08:13] <aleron6> does anybody heah know what driver i need to download to get my webcam working
[08:14] <jimmyjh> gnr, because i cannot remove files nor add files to the fat32
[08:14] <sanguisdex> where can I get an 8.10 ISO?
[08:14] <gnr> jimmy: just now you did manage to create a file without error...
[08:15] <jimmyjh> gnr, yes but for example... open the directory and try to add a file or remove one will not let me,,,, for example rightclicking a folder or file is shaded out
[08:15] <gnr> jimmy: the output of /proc/mounts shows it's RW
[08:15] <gnr> jimmy: you a running as a normal user
[08:15] <jimmyjh> gnr, it did create the deleteme.txt into the drive though
[08:15]  * akia shimmies
[08:16] <SimonXu> Hi! I mistakenly removed many files in /usr/share, is there a way to recover?
[08:16] <akia> hi nerdz
[08:16] <jimmyjh> gnr, ah i would have to access drive as super user?
[08:16] <fryguy> jimmyjh: or mount with a uid and/or gid parameter
[08:16] <gnr> jimmy: try #gksu nautilus
[08:16] <Severian> testi, Look at  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing?action=show&redirect=InternetConnectionSharing
[08:16] <jimmyjh> gnr, i guess i could chmod it
[08:16] <jimmyjh> gnr, i have xfce :P
[08:16] <fryguy> jimmyjh: np
[08:17] <jimmyjh> gnr, thunar?
[08:17] <xxubuntu> wth. i clicked "open containing folder" in xubuntu and it's saying "This link needs to be opened with an application. Send to:" what do i choose?
[08:17] <gnr> jimmy: what fryguy says is correct or try $gksu nautilus
[08:17] <akia> 1334 nerdz yay!
[08:17] <gnr> jimmy: oo yes whatever the file manager is
[08:18] <jimmyjh> fryguy, thanks ,, but i never done that before lol
[08:18] <usicow> how do I suspend my laptop remotely from a ssh session?
[08:18] <aleron6> any links to webcam drivers
[08:18] <Severian> testi,  or even easier might be http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html
[08:18] <jimmyjh> gnr, worked thanks i guess i am not use to xubuntu, only use ubuntu 99% of the time
[08:19] <mobi-sheep> What's the command to transfer files via the terminal (via ssh)?
[08:19] <Severian> xxubuntu, look for thunar.  I think that is what xubuntu includes for a file browser.
[08:19] <Severian> mobi-sheep,   scp
[08:20] <jimmyjh> gnr, fryguy, thanks very much
[08:20] <fryguy> mobi-sheep: scp, or sftp, curl and wget have sftp bindings, sshfs is used for mounting a fuse filesystem via sftp, there's also rsync and related utilities
[08:21] <mobi-sheep> fryguy: In your opinion, which command is easier to work with when transferring files using terminal alone?
[08:21] <fryguy> depends on what i'm transferring
[08:23] <dstaley> My mouse is REALLY slow on my MacBook, even though the sensitivity settings are all the way up. How do I fix this?
[08:24] <bullgard4> gnome-sound-recorder reports: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." (I did use Teamspeak2.) Where are the 'Multimedia settings' to be found?
[08:24] <Severian> dstaley,  Swap the Macbook for a Thinkpad
[08:24] <xxubuntu> how do i get my multimedia buttons to work in xubuntu?
[08:24] <tannersummers_> guys i added the wrong thing, my ubuntu now says edubuntu when booting up
[08:24] <tannersummers_> hoiw can i remove it
[08:24] <Severian> xxubuntu, try them.  They often work out of the box.
[08:24] <fryguy> tannersummers_: use usplash
[08:25] <tannersummers_> explain?
[08:25] <fryguy> !usplash
[08:25] <xxubuntu> Severian, they are not working
[08:25] <dstaley> Severian: Unfortunately, my Thinkpad doesn't run OS X. If it did, I'd swap the MacBook for it in a heartbeat.
[08:26] <tannersummers_> fryguy: I install this program called edubuntu i thought will help me learn but instead even after i removed the program it shwos edubuntu as the background when i log in with my username and passord
[08:26] <tannersummers_> 0o
[08:26] <fryguy> tannersummers_: while you are logging in, or after you log in
[08:26] <lstarnes> tannersummers_: try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop
[08:27] <tannersummers_> the screen that ask u to type in username and pass
[08:27] <tannersummers_> i dotn wanna jack u all the work i did into setting up my unbutu
[08:27] <fryguy> tannersummers_: running gdmsetup as root
[08:27] <fryguy> and change it
[08:27] <Severian> xxubuntu, have you tried the hotkeys package?
[08:27] <xxubuntu> where can i get that Severian ?
[08:27] <rootvirus> xubuntu rocks!
[08:27] <Severian> Synaptic
[08:28] <Severian> xxubuntu, Synaptic.  Just like most packages on xubuntu.
[08:28] <tannersummers_> thansk fryguy while im talking to u, anyway to make my account an admin/root?
[08:29] <fryguy> tannersummers_: if you can sudo, then it is
[08:29] <lstarnes> tannersummers_: you don't need to be root.  sudo usually works well enough
[08:29] <devius> hello, i have a problem with my webcaam, the picture is always black and white
[08:29] <tannersummers_> fryguy i mean everything as root so i dont have this problem of guessing a programs name to sudo it agian
[08:29] <fryguy> tannersummers_: no
[08:30] <Severian> tannersummers_, Ubuntu does not use root, typically.  Any user can normally doe root type things, but you have to do it through sudo.
[08:30] <tannersummers_> o
[08:30] <tannersummers_> tyy
[08:30] <lstarnes> tannersummers_: often you can look in the menu editor to see which executable name a program uses
[08:30] <gnr> tannersummers: #sudo vipw
[08:30] <lstarnes> gnr: don't recommend that
[08:30] <lstarnes> there's a big chance doing that could screw things up badly
[08:30] <tannersummers_> ?
[08:30] <tannersummers_> yikes
[08:30] <fryguy> lstarnes: lol, no
[08:30] <gnr> lstarners:giving the man what he wants
[08:31] <tannersummers_> brb guys
[08:31] <gnr> tannersummers: try $sudo -s
[08:31] <lstarnes> gnr: sudo -i tends to handle the environment better than -s
[08:31] <gnr> lol
[08:31] <paulo> any can help set up sound of adobe flash player in ubuntu
[08:32] <mobi-sheep> fryguy: Is there something where I can send/receive files without using <username>@<ip> because when I logged in using ssh, I'd have to log out to use scp to transfer files, then log in to use ssh?
[08:32] <paulo> by the way i have 2 sound card 1 got busted so i used a pci lan card
[08:32] <fryguy> mobi-sheep: just set up publickey authenticatin
[08:32] <fryguy> mobi-sheep: then you don't have to type your password
[08:33] <pooky_> Hello
[08:33] <gnr> lstarnes: sudo -i writes the bash history as root
[08:33] <lstarnes> gnr: but it uses root's environment, not the user's environment
[08:33] <devius> hello, i have a problem with my webcaam, the picture is always black and white
[08:33] <fryguy> lstarnes: which is almost certainly what you want
[08:33] <Severian> mobi-sheep, Open a second terminal prompt and do the scp there.
[08:33] <Broken_> hello all dose anyone know a good program to use to convert an ISO to a IMG?
[08:34] <pooky_> I know this might sound stupid
[08:34] <gnr> lstarners: echo $PATH is the same.. it appends the same path.. and appends the same history with your user.. it's easy to track back a common history
[08:34] <xxubuntu> Severian, i tried hotkeys. didnt work
[08:34] <pooky_> but I have problems dowloading AIM and Skype...
[08:34] <fryguy> Broken_: j/c, why
[08:34] <office> Broken_, acetoneiso2
[08:35] <gnr> lstarnes: anyways. that's the beauty of choices ain't it?
[08:35] <tannersummers> back
[08:35] <mobi-sheep> fryguy, Severian: Lol. Nice.  I like the passwordless ssh. :>
[08:35] <Severian> xxubuntu, The only other thing I have seen is to do it through lirc setup.  I don't know an easy setup guide for that, but it should work,
[08:35] <tannersummers> is there a program to chance options of the grub bootloader? i had one before, a program for that that is
[08:35] <bullgard4> gnome-sound-recorder reports: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." (I did use Teamspeak2.) Where are the 'Multimedia settings' to be found?
[08:36] <xxubuntu> Severian, what's that?
[08:36] <jimmyjh> Pooky, for aim i recommend using Pidgin, for Skype goto the home page
[08:36] <devius> hello, i have a problem with my webcaam, the picture is always black and white
[08:37] <Broken_> I've made an iso of my backup windows and need to put it on a flash drive for my netbook....they give a cd when there's no cdrom...I was going to use imagewriter to put it on usb drive
[08:37] <Severian> xxubuntu, lirc is the linux infrared control program.  People use it to let a remote control drive various feature.  It can also be set to accept keyboard commands from special keys.
[08:38] <tannersummers> whats this beryl?
[08:38] <pooky_> jimmyjh, then where's the setting for a webcam call???
[08:38] <xxubuntu> is it a synaptic package, Severian ?
[08:38] <jimmyjh> tannersummers, beryl is now known as Compiz
[08:38] <tannersummers> ah
[08:38] <tannersummers> nvm then
[08:38] <Severian> tannersummers, beryl is no more.  It was incorporated into compiz.
[08:38] <devius> agh...this place sucks
[08:38] <tannersummers> how do i cahnge the cursor
[08:38] <Broken_> on acidtone it looks like it only goes from img to iso.....unless I'm missing something
[08:38] <jimmyjh> Pooky, in skype? it has options for voice and cam
[08:39] <gnr> devius:attitude man...
[08:39] <pooky_> Jimmyjh I meant Pidgin.
[08:39] <Severian> xxubuntu, it is a package in synaptic, but that is only the first part of the setup.  It is not easy and you'll have to google for the info.
[08:39] <lstarnes> gnr: check your quit notices.  he left the channel
[08:39] <jimmyjh> Pooky, as for aim on pidgin, there is no cam for it  yet, but they are working on it
[08:40] <gnr> lstarnes: :) it's for others
[08:40] <Broken_> sorry acetone
[08:40] <Severian> Pooky, ekiga supports video calls.
[08:40] <pooky_> Jimmyjh, thanks I'll watch out for the updates then.
[08:40] <jimmyjh> Pooky, yes ekiga is also good
[08:40] <jimmyjh> Pooky, its more like skype
[08:40] <tannersummers> how can i get my desktop to have a floating dock like as in a mac
[08:40] <pooky_> Ekiga,...I had that on my old laptop..I find it hard to use surprisingly
[08:41] <Trentor> Is there a way to play wmap sound in linux?
[08:41] <jimmyjh> Pooky, its not so hard once you get the hang of it,,,
[08:41] <gnr> lstarnes:it's been almost 5 years since my last irc chat..
[08:42] <Severian> pooky_ ekiga has much improved in the last year or two.  Two yaers ago, I could barely make it work.  It does a pretty good job now.
[08:42] <Trentor> skype > ekiga
[08:42] <fryguy> Severian: that's what us developers do, we make things better
[08:42] <Severian> Trentor, I hope not.
[08:42] <Trentor> well its true
[08:42] <Trentor> imo
[08:42] <Trentor> ofc
[08:43] <pooky_> Jimmyjh, Well,...I'll try it out then...and see what happens this time ;P
[08:43]  * fryguy starts recompiling code for system update
[08:43] <Severian> fryguy, are you an ekiga developer, or was that a general developer comment?
[08:43] <fryguy> Severian: general dev comment
[08:43] <jimmyjh> Pooky, ok good luck, if your using ubuntu should be already on
[08:43] <pooky_> Severian, Hmmm I updated my Ekiga 6 months ago...and I still thought of it badly.
[08:43] <Severian> Trentor, I meant I hope protected wma files would not play in Linux.
[08:44] <pooky_> Jimmyjh, I'm using xubuntu and it's not on so i guess I'm at the old downloading question...
[08:44] <Trentor> Eh, well I wish they did, even if they are protected
[08:44] <jimmyjh> Pooky, "sudo apt-get ekiga" easy as that
[08:45] <jimmyjh> ooops
[08:45] <xxubuntu> Severian, can i have ur email addy?
[08:45] <jimmyjh> Pooky, sudo apt-get install ekiga" :P
[08:45] <pooky_> Butt don't you need to get the packages?
[08:45] <pooky_> But*
[08:45] <Trentor> thats what apt-get does
[08:45] <Severian> xxubuntu, lets go to a PM, first.
[08:45] <jimmyjh> Pooky, pakage manager takes care of that
[08:45] <MiVo> hi everyone, how do I activate S-video in 9.04 ? In 8.10 and earlier versions it worked without problems, but in 9.04 not anymore
[08:46] <pooky_> Well,..I didn't know migrating from MAC to Linux was that hard...
[08:46] <Tannersummers> guys how can i have a floating dock just like a mac does?
[08:46] <fryguy> Tannersummers: try awndock
[08:46] <pooky_> Well ill go download it now..I'l be be right back
[08:47] <Tannersummers> where do i get it
[08:47] <jimmyjh> Pooky, ok good luck
[08:47] <pooky_> to log in root it's "sudo -s"?
[08:47] <jimmyjh> Tannersummers, there are a few  Avant and Cario to name a few
[08:47] <fryguy> Tannersummers: apt-get install avant-window-navigator
[08:47] <lstarnes> pooky_: sudo -i, and you usually do not need to log in as root
[08:47] <insmod> how do I get gstreamer to use /dev/audio1 not /dev/audio0
[08:47] <jimmyjh> Pooky, na,, just goto terminal type this in "sudo apt-get install ekiga"
[08:48] <themad> hi
[08:49] <Tannersummers> ty all who helped me
[08:49] <pooky_> Jimmyjh, it's says this "E: Couldn't find package Ekiga"
[08:49] <fryguy> insmod: gnome-sound-properties
[08:49] <jimmyjh> Pooky, lower case e
[08:49] <lstarnes> pooky_: don't capitalise ekiga in that command
[08:49] <insmod> how do I get gstreamer to use /dev/audio1 not /dev/audio0
[08:49] <jimmyjh> Pooky, its case sensative
thanks
[08:50] <pooky_> Jimmyjh, Ok thanks,...like i said it's going to be hard to migrate from mac to linux...
[08:50] <themad> I have a problem with xubuntu 9.04. The mouse is invisible! I can move it, click, open applications with it, but I don't accually see mouse pointer, so I don't know where it is.
[08:50] <Tannersummers> fryguy now that i installed it now waht?
[08:50] <fryguy> Tannersummers: run it
[08:50] <jimmyjh> Pooky, its worth the move if you ask me,,, it always gets better
[08:50] <Tannersummers> well i eman what does it go under as in the prefecrence?
[08:50] <fryguy> Tannersummers: none
[08:50] <fryguy> Tannersummers: it's an application, run it
[08:51] <Tannersummers> i mena how where do i find it to run it lol
[08:51] <Tannersummers> ah nvm
[08:51] <fryguy> alt-f2, avant-window-navigator <enter>
[08:51] <pooky_> Jimmyjh, Well learning with commands and , things like that make it easier...but it's hard at first to rmeeber everything...
[08:51] <themad> is there anyone that could me? :)
[08:51] <fryguy> Tannersummers: might be worthwhile to take some time to actually try things yourself instead of just asking to have your hand held through every little step
[08:52] <Tannersummers> iv been trying i just so lost at this OS sometimes u know
[08:52] <fryguy> Tannersummers: no, i don't know
[08:52] <Tannersummers> :S
[08:52] <Tannersummers> thank u for all ur help fryguy
[08:53] <jimmyjh> Pooky, its not so hard basic commands you need to learn to install and remove programs are "sudo apt-get install "program" and sudo apt-get remove "program"
[08:54] <pooky_> Jimmyjh, I was talking to a friend that works GNU but he talked about "apt-get cache |grep"
[08:54] <fryguy> pooky_: what about it
[08:55] <fryguy> pooky_: he was probably talking about apt-cache, not apt-get cache, since that doesn't exist
[08:55] <pooky_> fryguy: Stupid question , what do i use that command for?
[08:55] <fryguy> pooky_: apt-cache lets you query your available packages, the 2 most common commands are search and show
[08:55] <fryguy> piping through grep will only show lines of output that match a given regex
[08:56] <fryguy> rather than the entire output
[08:56] <jimmyjh> Pooky, that is useful when searching
[08:57] <sup3rs3nior> woah.. 1337 users? thats pretty cool..
[08:57] <pooky_> so for example...if I wanted to search for java sun i would put
[08:57] <fryguy> pooky_: apt-cache search java
[08:57] <pooky_> Oh...
[08:57] <pooky_> Hmmm Thanks ^^
[08:57] <miki> chanserv..come posso fare per settare o andare nel canale italiano? grazie
[08:57] <sup3rs3nior> anyone pretty good with ubuntu server?
[08:58] <sysadmin> anyone knows how to connect to a wireless network from command prompt?
[08:58] <fryguy> !ask | sup3rs3nior
[08:58] <fryguy> sysadmin: iwconfig
[08:58] <sysadmin> fryguy, yes, but how do I specify the network name?
[08:58] <fryguy> sysadmin: the ssid?
[08:59] <kerebrus__> sup3rss3nior: not an expert but what you need?
[08:59] <sup3rs3nior> I just installed Ubuntu Server. I can access it (apache) on my local network, but not from the outside internet.
[08:59] <fryguy> sysadmin: it's essid (unless you are referring to the hardware bssid)
[08:59] <pooky_> JImmyjh I've just downloaded ekiga , how do i open it?
[08:59] <fryguy> sup3rs3nior: are you behind a router?
[08:59] <sup3rs3nior> Already fwd port 80
[08:59] <sysadmin> fryguy, ok, got it, and the password in hex?
[08:59] <jimmyjh> Pooky, you installed it yes?
[08:59] <fryguy> sup3rs3nior: are you sure port 80 isn't blocked by your isp?
[08:59] <fryguy> sysadmin: i think so, read the manpage
[08:59] <pooky_> JImmyjh, Yes I have.
[08:59] <sup3rs3nior> Yeah because ive been using it before i switched to linux..
[08:59] <fryguy> sysadmin: if you are using wpa you'll need wpa-supplicant
[09:00] <fryguy> sup3rs3nior: what IPs is apache bound to?
[09:00] <jimmyjh> Pooky, well many ways in terminal type ekiga
[09:00] <sup3rs3nior> should be 80 right?
[09:00] <jimmyjh> Pooky, or in applicationsre in internet apps it should be in the
[09:00] <fryguy> sup3rs3nior: IPs, not port
[09:00] <sup3rs3nior> Im not folowing..
[09:01] <Rigongia> miki : che client stai usando ?
[09:01] <fryguy> sup3rs3nior: is apache listening on <IP_ADDRESS>, or is it listening on a specific IP? or is it listening on a specific set of IPs?
[09:01] <pooky_> Thanks Jimmyjh,...Now it says I have to configure my network settings...I think i can do that
[09:01] <jimmyjh> Pooky, also neat way to open applications quickly is to "ALT+F2" and type the program in
[09:01] <pooky_> alt+fé I'll keep that in mind
[09:01] <sup3rs3nior> Is that listed in a config file of some sort?
[09:01] <fryguy> sup3rs3nior: yep
[09:01] <fryguy> in /etc/apache2 i think
[09:02] <sup3rs3nior> apache2.conf?
[09:02] <lstarnes> sup3rs3nior: either that or ports.conf
[09:02] <bonez46> help.. I need to upgrade my bios.. on my MSI mobo.. K9VGM-V.. anyone know how to do this?
[09:02] <sup3rs3nior> ive been looking through apache2.conf, I just dont know what im looking for..
[09:02] <fryguy> sup3rs3nior: "Listen"
[09:03] <lstarnes> sup3rs3nior: the Listen directive
[09:03] <Slart> bonez46: probably the people as MSI.. that's where I would start looking
[09:03] <sup3rs3nior> does nano have a search function?
[09:03] <gnr> bonez: you can try coreboot linux bois
[09:03] <gnr> #flashrom
[09:03] <^Cub> yup ahh
[09:03] <maxagaz> can someone suggest me a good and cheap SIP phone brandt ?
[09:03] <^Cub> i need help
[09:03] <fryguy> sup3rs3nior: grep -ri Listen /etc/apache2
[09:04] <fryguy> !ask | ^Cub
[09:04] <Slart> !ot | maxagaz
[09:04] <gnr> bonez: #flashrom will check you current bios chip. You can even save the current bios and flash a new one
[09:04] <bonez46> people at MSI ? they are in Korea.. or Japan..
[09:04] <flyankur> hey all , I am using ubuntu 8.04.2 , i have 2 problems 1. When i updates my kernel to 2.6.24-24 from 2.6.24-23 .but in 24-24 there is a resolution problem, display is of maximum 800*600 resolution. but in 24-23 it wokrs fine.  what could be the problem
[09:05] <pooky_> Ok! Ekiga is running..now to use it...
[09:05] <Slart> bonez46: well.. I'm in sweden.. where are you?
[09:05] <lstarnes> sup3rs3nior: or in nano use ctrl+W
[09:05] <sup3rs3nior> ports.conf.. one line says "listen 80" which makes sense..
[09:05] <bonez46> Slart: I am in utah, in USA
[09:05] <fryguy> flyankur: sudo apt-get update && upgrade, and make sure there are no packages being left back
[09:05] <sup3rs3nior> another line says listen 443
[09:05] <bonez46> gnr: WHAT IS #flashrom.. not a channel here on IRC.. right/
[09:05] <^Cub> im trying to install ubuntu on my eeepc. i have extracted eveything on to a portable hdd but when i reboot it comes up with some busybox v1.2 console. this is my 1st time even using linux. i dont know what to do from here
[09:05] <flyankur> fryguy: Thanks !! ill do this
[09:06] <gnr> bonez: read my next msg... it's a command
[09:06] <sup3rs3nior> Is there a default setting on ubuntu server that blocks "out of network" http requests?
[09:06] <fryguy> sup3rs3nior: no
[09:06] <flyankur> fryguy:  Second problem, When ubuntu starts, startup sounds comes properly, skyope works properly, but when i run any video  or any audio file, sound doesnt come, i have installed all codecs, but this problem aslo has the same solution ?
[09:06] <fryguy> sup3rs3nior: are you sure the port is forwarded correctly? to the right ip etc?
[09:06] <pooky_> Jimmyjh, another question...okay, I love music so I'm on this website called playlist.com, you can create your own playlist bla blabla and now that I'm linux why can't I play the music?
[09:07] <pooky_> Because
[09:07] <Slart> bonez46: if only there was a way of communicating with people from around the world.. it would be great.. we could create a mesh of connections.. perhaps use some kind of electronic signals.. we could call it.. the intermesh.. wait.. no that doesn't sound right..
[09:07] <fryguy> flyankur: no
[09:07] <pooky_> I have Flash I have java I have...what i need
[09:07] <gnr> bonez: is a flashing bios tool for linux... any type of bios actually (with support) and as well as coreboot bios (linux OSS bios)
[09:07] <sysadmin> fryguy, when i set the essid, how can I set the password?
[09:07] <fryguy> sysadmin: no idea
[09:07] <Rigongia> ^Cub : what is it that you have extracted to the portable hdd ?
[09:07] <sup3rs3nior> yeah, <IP_ADDRESS>, just as though i were accessing it locally.
[09:07] <flyankur> fryguy: what could be theproblem
[09:07] <fryguy> flyankur: misconfigured sound card driver
[09:08] <fryguy> flyankur: try going to gnome-sound-properties and setting things not autodetect
[09:08] <livingdaylight> hi
[09:08] <bullgard4> gnome-sound-recorder reports: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." (I did use Teamspeak2.) Where are the 'Multimedia settings' to be found?
[09:08] <flyankur> fryguy: but i used Add/remove facilty for installing.. how should i correct it
[09:08] <livingdaylight> are there still regular classes on #ubuntu-classes or somewhere?
[09:08] <sup3rs3nior> when i forward it to my windows server on port 80 (to xampp) it works fine.
[09:08] <fryguy> bullgard4: gnome-sound-properties
[09:08] <^Cub> Rigongia: easy-peasy-1.1.iso
[09:09] <Slart> bonez46: /away
[09:09] <Slart> sorry
[09:09] <flyankur> fryguy: Ok ! thanks :)
[09:09] <jimmyjh> Pooky, good way to get all the codecs you may need sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras"
[09:09] <Rigongia> ^Cub : so ... what do you mean by "extracted" ?
[09:10] <bonez46> gnr: ok, found and installed flashrom. when I run it, it can't find a chipset
[09:10] <pooky_> JImmyjh, but...I only need Flash to use  my playlist... I'll still give it a try though
[09:10] <^Cub> Rigongia: i was told to use UNetbootin-Ubuntu Eee to put the .iso onto the portable HDD so it can boot from it
[09:10] <^Cub> can i post links in here?
[09:10] <Rigongia> sure
[09:11] <^Cub> http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/07/28/a-step-by-step-guide-to-installing-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-on-your-eee-pc/
[09:11] <fryguy> sup3rs3nior: what is the output of ifconfig -a
[09:11] <livingdaylight> hola, puede dirme si tienes classes de Ubuntu en el canal #ubuntu-classes
[09:11] <sup3rs3nior> for eth0?
[09:11] <fryguy> sup3rs3nior: the entire output
[09:12] <bullgard4> fryguy: Calling gnome-sound-properties I cannot detect an item 'Multimedia settings'. Can you?
[09:12] <fryguy> bullgard4: i don't have gnome-sound-properties so i wouldn't know
[09:12] <sup3rs3nior> very long.......
[09:12] <gnr> bonez46: you have to check on http://www.coreboot.org/Flashrom#Supported_chips for specific chips
[09:12] <greato> hello! I want to make a ddos program
[09:12] <fryguy> sup3rs3nior: that is what pastebins are for
[09:12] <greato> how to do that
[09:12] <bullgard4> fryguy: I see.
[09:12] <sup3rs3nior> oh right!
[09:12] <fryguy> greato: it's called ping
[09:12] <fryguy> greato: go have a bunch of machines do it at once
[09:13] <greato> fryguy: I have 6 machines
[09:13] <fryguy> greato: anything more detailed is outside of the scope of this channel
[09:13] <greato> fryguy: I have 6 machines with 3 internet connection
[09:13] <sup3rs3nior> so, where are these paste bins?
[09:13] <fryguy> sup3rs3nior: pastebin.com
[09:13] <lstarnes> sup3rs3nior: paste.ubuntu.com
[09:13] <livingdaylight> can i ask a question?
[09:13] <fryguy> !ask | livingdaylight
[09:13] <livingdaylight> fryguy: lol, you're fast
[09:13] <Rigongia> livingdaylight : we are here for that reason  !:)
[09:14] <livingdaylight>  are there still regular classes on #ubuntu-classes or somewhere?
[09:14] <flyankur> fryguy: They are set to auto detect, i should change it to ... conexent digital , conexent analog, AlSA, OSS  , Pulse Audio Driver ( lspci | grep audio showed "Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)" )
[09:14] <livingdaylight> Rigongia: you are de bestest
[09:14] <fryguy> flyankur: there's a test button next to it for a reason
[09:14] <livingdaylight> where do i find out about these?
[09:14] <gnr> bonez46: #flashrom --list-supported
[09:14] <sup3rs3nior> is there a way i can rout the output of ipconfig to a file?
[09:14] <fryguy> sup3rs3nior: ifconfig > file
[09:15] <Rigongia> ^Cub : at what step of the guide are you stuck ?
[09:15] <flyankur> fryguy:  oops :D
[09:15] <lstarnes> sup3rs3nior: or ipconfig >> file if you don't want to completely overwrite
[09:15] <Severian> sup3rs3nior, just like most commands at the terminal prompt.  Remember that meme and use it often.
[09:15] <fryguy> lstarnes: depending on the shell you are using (while we are being pedantic)
[09:15] <^Cub> Rigongia: after i rebooted to install Ubuntu, it comes up with BusyBox, how do i get past that?
[09:16] <unhackmee> hey can anyone tell me whether there is a task manage equivilent for ubuntu
