[07:15] <BBking> dudeicles: Thanks very much :)
[07:15] <Aminux> kdubois: is that it?
[07:15] <kdubois> Aminux: no, thats not the right section. running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" will reconfigure the x server best it knows how. hopefully that will solve your problem. to look for the driver, run cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep ati to find it...
[07:15] <BBking> i'll be on
[07:15] <nathan> SeveredCross: my point is this: imagine a network of 40 people using ubuntu. every time you want to install something on someone's computer you have to go over and log out completely and then log in as root just to do it because they don't have sudo access. waste of time imo. wouldn't it be much nicer to have it where all you had to do is go to synaptic and type in the root pw?
[07:15] <beerfan> Anyone know how to solve no window borders for WINE apps?
[07:15] <shwouchk> help!
[07:15] <Aminux> kdubois: ok,time to reset
[07:15] <SeveredCross> nathan: Then like I said, look into editing /etc/sudoers to your whims.
[07:16] <SeveredCross> And if sudo is compiled in to ask for the user and not the root password, recompile sudo.
[07:16] <afs> nathan: thats not the way it works
[07:16] <nathan> beerfan: http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?p=26001 it's unsolved
[07:16] <pespin> can anyone help me with a gtk programming trouble or redirect me to another IRC channel?
[07:16] <afs> nathan:  if you're administrating large networks and need to fix something on a specific computer you dont go over to fix it, you login remotely and do your magic.
[07:16] <beerfan> nathan: thanks for the link. Saw that but hoped it was solved elsewhere
[07:17] <kdubois> pespin: #gtk is good, and the gtkmm documentation has a great tutorial for C++
[07:17] <nathan> SeveredCross: that wouldn't help anything because I would still have to log out and back in as root
[07:17] <SeveredCross> No.
[07:17] <SeveredCross> That would help because you'd make sudo ask for the root password.
[07:17] <shwouchk> please help! I can't setup an lvm logical volume... heres the error I get: http://rafb.net/p/qbbCFq63.html
[07:17] <user12345> I can't get my dell to find my "Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller" NIC using Dapper, do you think feisty would find it better?
[07:17] <SeveredCross> !repeat | shwouchk
[07:17] <SeveredCross> Bah.
[07:17] <dug> pespin: also I'd add that there are a lot of gtk related channels on the irc.gimp.net server
[07:17] <ubotu> shwouchk: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[07:17] <nathan> SeveredCross: orly? let me take another look at that.
[07:17] <ZAKhan> scipio, does it work with opera?
[07:17] <SeveredCross> nathan: If you modify it right, it should.
[07:18] <SeveredCross> I don't know much about it.
[07:18] <pespin> dug: ok I'll try
[07:18] <SeveredCross> man sudo is your friend.
[07:18] <rathel> I'm trying to make a script, and I need to use the "if/then/else" statement, how do I use it with a running app, I mean like "if gimp is running then do..."?
[07:18] <markelhas> afs, solved i've create a launcher in desktop calling gnome-panel
[07:18] <scipio> ZAKhan, don't have opera installed. btw if you want to see the results you can switch to the html version or go to another site :)
[07:18] <pespin> kdubois: I'm already in the #gtk channel (user Sharwin_F) and well.... its quite silently xD
[07:18] <ronald__> epale
[07:18] <nathan> I only see like 3 lines of code, none of which are obviously what I need
[07:18] <afs> markelhas: good!
[07:18] <markelhas> afs, the alt-f2 only work when the gnome-panel is active
[07:18] <bruenig> rathel, the way I usually do it is if [ -n "$(ps -a | grep gimp)" ]
[07:18] <omegaweopon> Can anyone assist me in a compiling question
[07:18] <dug> user12345: are you trying to get wireless to work with your dell wireless card?
[07:18] <ZAKhan> scipio, the live screboard is something nice
[07:18] <markelhas> afs, thnks for the help
[07:19] <bruenig> rathel, the way I usually do it is if [ -n "$(ps -A | grep gimp)" ]
[07:19] <SeveredCross> Actually, you probably want man sudoers
[07:19] <rathel> bruenig, Ah thanks I'ma try that.
[07:19] <blinker> I need help with corrupt data on my drive. I ran fsck and it gets an error while scanning inodes. how would I go about fixing this problem?
[07:19] <nathan> SeveredCross: alright well I'll look into it further then.. thanks for your attention
[07:19] <Desolato1> anyone able to answer a few questions about installing 7.04 (feisty)?
[07:19] <user12345> dug: no, its a wired nic
[07:19] <omegaweopon> Can anyone assist into a compiling question?
[07:20] <shwouchk> SeveredCross: I think that repeating it once every 1-2 screens of text is very reasonable
[07:20] <nathan> !question | Deolato1
[07:20] <ubotu> Deolato1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:20] <SeveredCross> nathan: The flag you're looking for is rootpw by the way.
[07:20] <SeveredCross> Read man sudoers
[07:20] <nathan> SeveredCross: ok I will thanks
[07:20] <nathan> SeveredCross: I can see that I might need this option soon so I want to be prepared for it is all.
[07:21] <Desolato1> >.> OK, I have a f10 GB hdd with an old xp instalaltion and want to put up ubuntu on it

[07:21] <Desolato1> what file system should i choose?
[07:21] <threat> xsup?
[07:21] <threat> Desolato1: NTFS
[07:21] <Desolato1> I want to be able to read it from xp
[07:21] <threat> Desolato1: hehe
[07:21] <nathan> Desolato1: the question is ~ do you want to keep the xp and data?
[07:21] <Desolato1> no
[07:21] <threat> Desolato1: use ext2 or 3 then
[07:21] <dug> Desolato1: You can install an extension in windows xp to access linux drives, such as explore2fs.  I'd choose ext3
[07:21] <Desolato1> IO have another hhd with my real working xp
[07:22] <threat> dug: i2fs
[07:22] <threat> ifs2
[07:22] <nathan> Can someone explain to me what Topz Brainstorm is?
[07:22] <Desolato1> ok, how much swap should I set? I got 256 MB SDRAM<
[07:22] <nathan> Topaz Brainstorm*
[07:22] <threat> http://www.fs-driver.org/
[07:22] <SeveredCross> Desolato1, 512 MB?
[07:22] <Desolato1> and what type to make the swap partition? primary or logical?
[07:22] <threat> Desolato1: RAM+1/2
[07:22] <shwouchk> please help! I can't setup an lvm logical volume... heres the error I get: http://rafb.net/p/qbbCFq63.html
[07:22] <nathan> threat: for me that would be 6gb of swap =]
[07:23] <Desolato1> On xp I got 512 standard, with max of 1 gig...I guess 512 is enough
[07:23] <threat> nathan: nice
[07:23] <user12345> is it true that I need to upgrade to Edgy from Dapper before I can upgrade to feisty?
[07:23] <fulio> where can i download  xwinwrap, and im using fiesty.
[07:23] <neumind> lithuania, lithuania!!!
[07:23] <neumind> lithuania, lithuania!!!
[07:23] <neumind> lithuania, lithuania!!!
[07:23] <Desolato1> user12345: yes
[07:23] <neumind> :- )
[07:23] <marrabld> shouchk: have you tryed installing through synaptic?
[07:23] <threat> I have 512Mb RAM so I allocated 740Mb for swap
[07:23] <Desolato1> (05:22:39 PM) Desolato1: and what type to make the swap partition? primary or logical?
[07:23] <BBking> Eventually, my resolution is 1440x990 !!
[07:24] <BBking> :-D
[07:24] <BBking> Thanks all
[07:24] <dug> user12345: it doesn't appear so.  Here are some tutorials: http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=upgrade+edgy+to+feisty&btnG=Google+Search
[07:24] <user12345> what chance do you think that the alternate feisty CD will work when the regular one doesnt?
[07:24] <dug> user12345: you might try the ubuntu gutsy tribe 5 cd if the feisty cd won't load up for you
[07:24] <realshiva> hi guys im searching for a shell for gnome, with that i can do copy and paste
[07:25] <Desolato1> user12345: you'd better make a fresh install
[07:25] <nathan___> who asked about xwinwrap?
[07:25] <jrib> realshiva: a shell or termiinal emulator?
[07:25] <Pici> !gutsy | user12345
[07:25] <ubotu> user12345: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[07:25] <Desolato1> 05:23:54 PM) Desolato1: (05:22:39 PM) Desolato1: and what type to make the swap partition? primary or logical? -- can anyone answer?
[07:25] <realshiva> jrib,  sry i mean a terminal emulatior
[07:25] <beerfan> realshiva: ctrl-shift-v to paste
[07:25] <nathan___> I did some massive detective work and found out where to download xwinwrap for you! here it is --> http://www.google.com/search?&q=xwinwrap  <--then click the very first link!
[07:25] <mosimea> I've created a new user, logged in as that user, but found the screen resolution at 1920x1440 rather than a preferred 1600x1200, as my first user is set up.  I can open the Nvidia settings and change the resolution but cannot seem to save the settings.  How is this possible to do, or how might I set a global default resolution?
[07:26] <realshiva> you are kidding me ...
[07:26] <jrib> realshiva: ctrl-shift-c and ctrl-shift-v let you copy and paste in gnome-terminal.  Or, just hilight to copy and middle click to paste (I prefer this)
[07:26] <dug> Desolato1: logical is fine.  it doesn't matter, except that you can only have so many primary partitions (4 i think)
[07:26] <Desolato1> dug: thanks
[07:26] <nathan___> can anyone tell me what Topaz Brainstorm is?
[07:26] <beerfan> realshiva: ctrl-c does something else in a terminal than "copy"
[07:26] <user12345> ok, the root cause of me not being able to use feisty CD is something about the hard drives, heres a page with someone with the same problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=279884
[07:26] <eddiestone> automatix website is offline. there are any alternative website where I can get automatix ?
[07:27] <Pici> !automatix | eddiestone
[07:27] <ubotu> eddiestone: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.

[07:27] <nathan___> user12345: have you checked the disc for defects?
[07:27] <blinker> nathan__: did you try googling it? ^^
[07:27] <Tiradin> I'm running Ubuntu's liveCD on a ThinkPad T23 beside me, and I'm trying to decide if it's running slow because it's off a CD or if it's because it only has 256MB of ram...
[07:27] <eddiestone> Pici: very useful, thanks
[07:27] <Gosha> What should I use instead of Amarok in gnome?
[07:27] <nathan___> blinker: yes I have thank you though
[07:27] <Pici> Tiradin: Probably the lack of RAM.
[07:27] <blinker> =p
[07:27] <Tiradin> Another issue I have is that I had to replace the original hard drive with a much smaller one (Around 500mb, i believe.) Will I still be able to install/run Ubuntu with such a small drive?
[07:27] <beerfan> Gosha: rhythmbox
[07:27] <Desolato1> last time I visited this room there was a bot which could guide you through installing
[07:28] <mosimea> Gosha: Banshee
[07:28] <user12345> nathan: no, I can try that, i'm almost done with the alternate CD download and if that doesnt work Ill try checking for defects
[07:28] <underdog5004> Tiradin, probably not the graphical version.
[07:28] <eddiestone> automatix website is offline. there are any alternative website where I can get automatix ? or anybody can send it to me? (feisty 32 bits)
[07:28] <dug> Tiradin: probably both I'm afraid :)
[07:28] <underdog5004> Tiradin, if it was me, I'd install the CLI version and add gui components manually
[07:28] <nathan___> user12345: I had strange troubles with an ubuntu install, turned out to be the disc so I'd start there; takes about 8 minutes
[07:28] <Gosha> Hmm, okay, thanks.
[07:28] <nathan___> Tiradin: no you can't install the full version on that paperweight
[07:29] <nathan___> Tiradin: I believe you need a 2 gb for it.

[07:40] <ConstyXIV> no, not that i remember
[07:40] <Desolato1> well I know, I was just asking
[07:40] <beerfan> Gosha: run stuff with ALT-F2
[07:40] <BBking> That's an other newsreader yes.
[07:41] <dug> Gosha: after you've already started it I'm not sure.  But before you do, you can run "nohup yourcommand &"  and then be able to close the terminal
[07:41] <Gosha> beerfan: ?
[07:41] <Desolato1> AFAIK 6.06 had tb as default, 7.04 has ev
[07:41] <Gosha> ..
[07:41] <Gosha> nohup?
[07:41] <Gosha> .. *tries*
[07:41] <ConstyXIV> evolution has been default since breezy (5.10)
[07:41] <Gosha> .. why the &?
[07:41] <dug> Gosha: and an ampersand at the end to run it in the background
[07:41] <Gosha> I see
[07:41] <jrib> Gosha: nohup or screen.  Or disown the job after you run it
[07:41] <beerfan> it'll still die if terminal is closed though
[07:42] <Gosha> or, wait?
[07:42] <Gosha> .. in the background?
[07:42] <Gosha> As in, it won't show up?
[07:42] <dug> Gosha: no, i mean as a separate thread
[07:42] <kane77> how do I list mountet partitions and their sizes? (esp. swap)
[07:42] <Desolato1> anyway, I'll go to install, I'll come here if I have any questions
[07:42] <Desolato1> wish me luck
[07:42] <jrib> kane77: df -h
[07:42] <Gosha> .. It worked without the &, what is the difference, I don't get it.
[07:42] <dug> Gosha: try for example "nohup gedit &" then close terminal.  gedit will still be running
[07:43] <Gosha> ..
[07:43] <Gosha> well
[07:43] <Gosha> If i take the & away it's still running when i close the terminal
[07:43] <jrib> Gosha: to see what the & does try 'gedit &' vs 'gedit' (and try to use your terminal)
[07:43] <kane77> jrib, that should list also swap, right?
[07:44] <Gosha> ..
[07:44] <Gosha> No difference, jrib
[07:44] <neol> /server irc.spotchat.org
[07:44] <dug> Gosha: without the &, you can't continue to use the terminal.  the app blocks input.  With the &, it runs in a separate thread and you can continue typing in the terminal
[07:44] <Gosha> Oh
[07:44] <Gosha> I see, thanks
[07:44] <beerfan> Gosha: & has no effect on what you want to do
[07:44] <Gosha> I understand now, thanks. ^^
[07:44] <drock> What log has Gnome messages?  I wanna see what's happening during login.
[07:44] <jrib> kane77: oh, it may not.  'sudo fdisl -l' maybe?
[07:45] <JahnY> me too
[07:45] <jrib> kane77: oh, it may not.  'sudo fdisk -l' maybe?

[07:46] <ghostkernel> i know have it in my 4 computers
[07:46] <drock> mosimea: so, /var/log/messages ?
[07:46] <dug> drock: those logs are also in the /var/log folder
[07:46] <ghostkernel> LOL.i guess i can say goodbye to Gentoo
[07:46] <dug> drock: like /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:46] <ghostkernel> okay
[07:46] <ghostkernel> goodbye
[07:46] <drock> k, ill look. ihave slow login process right now
[07:47] <mosimea> drock: my instructions were via the menu system
[07:47] <kane77> jrib, my system is kind of laggy and I'm trying to find a reason.. how do I find if swap is mounted?
[07:47] <Evil_`> how can I get into just the terminal, no gui present?...isn't there a key-combination for it?
[07:47] <drock> i know. cant get into menus right now
[07:47] <beerfan> Evil_`: ctrl-alt-f1
[07:47] <nickrud_> drock: also, look in ~/.xsession-errors
[07:47] <Evil_`> beerfan: thanks :D
[07:48] <drock> Gnome comes up, but menus and panels are not drawing
[07:48] <Gosha> What alternatives is there to xchat and gaim? (For IRC.)
[07:48] <z0r> anybody got linux on an inspiron 1501?
[07:49] <nickrud_> drock: check to see if the panel is running ; ps aux | grep gnome-panel
[07:49] <beerfan> Gosha: try google? there's a lot
[07:49] <Pici> Gosha: konversation, irssi, kopete
[07:49] <Gosha> irssi, eh...
[07:49] <Gosha> kopete and konversation are for KDE, I try to avoid that.
[07:49] <drock> nickrud: panel is running but menus are not showing up
[07:49] <nickrud_> kane77: cat /proc/swaps
[07:50] <nickrud_> drock: do you see the panel?
[07:50] <realshiva> now my second problem: http://paste.debian.net/36617 <-- while make
[07:50] <foug_> is there a way i can find out what type of ram i have through terminal?
[07:50] <jrib> kane77: swapon -s  works too
[07:50] <drock> nickrud_: yea panel is there, but no icons or menus
[07:50] <drock> nickrud_:they show up after 10 minutes or so
[07:50] <dudeicles> BBking: Did you get it?
[07:51] <Meroigo_> How do I get XChat to autoload scripts? :/ I have to manually load my scripts to get them loaded...
[07:51] <Meroigo_> autoload on startup
[07:51] <Meroigo_> *
[07:51] <kane77> jrib, thanx..
[07:51] <foug_> is there a way i can find out what type of ram i have through terminal?
[07:51] <nickrud_> drock: try checking that the hostname in /etc/hostname is the same as the hostname listed on the line with <IP_ADDRESS> in /etc/hosts
[07:52] <Xyhthyx> foug_: Dunno if you can, but try 'sudo lshw'
[07:52] <drock> nickrud_: hostname in hostname was not the same as /etc/hosts
[07:52] <nickrud_> drock: make them the same, then run sudo /etc/init.d/hostname.sh
[07:53] <realshiva> hi guys, i got a problem while make: http://paste.debian.net/36617 <--
[07:53] <drock> nickrud_: k

[07:53] <rejoice> any pointers ?
[07:53] <rejoice> codeshah, evolution has a owa connector to access ms exchange mails
[07:54] <dug> realshiva: looks like a syntax error, you might try the support list or channel for the dmx usb module
[07:54] <nikom1> hey guys
[07:54] <nikom1> I need a bit help with my new Ubuntu feisty fawn installation
[07:54] <realshiva> dug, hmm in the tutorial i am working throu, it works, ...

[07:55] <nikom1> Basically, this is my problem: http://koti.mbnet.fi/nikomo/omituinenruutu.png
[07:55] <Dimitar> hey... i want to be a SHOUTcast DJ on ubuntu 7.04.. is there any progs. for doing this? Help, Please.
[07:55] <nikom1> There's distortion on my screen when I try to run on my monitor's native resolution, 1440x900
[07:56] <drock> nickru_: i ran that and also restarted gdm: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart   things are still slow
[07:56] <codeshah> rejoice, owa connector as in outlook web access?
[07:56] <rejoice> yes
[07:56] <alexbOrsova> nikom1: what monitor do you have?
[07:56] <realshiva> Dimitar,  muse :-)
[07:56] <nikom1> HP w19b
[07:56] <nikom1> 1440x900 LCD monitor
[07:56] <rejoice> its still buggy but usable

[07:56] <nikom1> 19"
[07:56] <Evil_`> hmm, how do I access the internet through the terminal?
[07:56] <codeshah> rejoice, my OWA address is a script-like one ... like something,com/something?something.asp
[07:56] <codeshah> soI just pass it that url?
[07:56] <brand0con> hi all.  I'm running a dual boot setup with 2 hard drives but my windows drive is making the click of death and im having a replacement sent.  ive backed up my data that i need but wheni  try to remove the secondary/xp drive grub wont boot.  its like it depends on the secondary drive.  is there a dependency there?  are boot records recorded on that drive somehow even tho it was ntfs
[07:56] <tarelerulz> I have web cam and I would like to know how to use it under ubuntu ?
[07:56] <Dimitar> hey... i want to be a SHOUTcast DJ on ubuntu 7.04.. is there any progs. for doing this? Help, Please.
[07:57] <Pici> Evil_`: w3m is the name of one such terminal web browser
[07:57] <chief> Dimitar: Icecast is pretty nice
[07:57] <cappiz> some gutsy support chan?
[07:57] <dug> Evil_`: there are command line clients like elinks (web browsing) wget (fetch & download a url), etc.
 thanks
[07:57] <Evil_`> ah ok, thanks :o
[07:57] <realshiva> Dimitar, look for the programm muse
[07:57] <nickrud_> drock: did you leave the localhost on the line with the <IP_ADDRESS> ; mine is <IP_ADDRESS> localhost aias  ; /etc/hostname is aias  . Make sure you don't have a domain name added
[07:57] <rejoice> codeshah, normally its http://xxxx/exchange, but u can try it once
[07:57] <Dimitar> ok
[07:57] <Dimitar> tnx
[07:57] <rejoice> codeshah, hv 2 accounts with the above
[07:58] <drock> nickrud_:  yeah line is -->  <IP_ADDRESS> localhost myhostname
[07:58] <MartinW> I've got a very old PC with 128mb RAM (It was top of the line ;-) ) which I plan to set up with Linux and donate to a school. This is the only computer the school is going to get so I won't need networking. Would edubuntu work (Preferably LTS) or should I go for xubuntu? Perhaps another flavor of linux? What would you reccomend?
[07:58] <nikom1> I'm liking Ubuntu... but why does GAIM use nikom1 as my name :/? I told it to use nikomo
[07:58] <nikom1> /name nikomo
[07:58] <alexbOrsova> nikom1: well from the screenshot I can see you don't have these settings 1440 x 900 @ 60Hz
[07:58] <nikom1> ...
[07:58] <dug> brand0con: just a guess but 2 things to check are your /boot/grub/menu.lst file (see that it doesn't refer to the second drive), and also go into your bios and turn off the secondary drive support
[07:58] <nickrud_> drock: and /etc/hostname is only hostname ?
[07:58] <nikom1> alex
[07:58] <nikom1> I took the picture when I was changing my resolution
[07:58] <drock> nickrud_:  true
[07:59] <alexbOrsova> nikom1: well then what does it look like when you're running those settings?
[07:59] <nikom1> I had it on 1440x900 when I took it
[07:59] <dudeicles> MartinW: Did you check the Ubuntu website for edubuntu specs?
[07:59] <nickrud_> drock: hm, that's the most common reason for gnome to be really slow starting apps, looking for something network wise ...
[07:59] <MartinW> I couldn't find them. I did search quite a bit.
[07:59] <nikom1> The ones I inputted? I'm currently on 1280x800 and it's perfect
[07:59] <drock> nickrud_:  I have some Samba shares in fstab.  could it be that?
[07:59] <dug> nikom1: someone else is using the name nikomo on freenode at the moment
[07:59] <nikom1> AH
[07:59] <nikom1> k
[08:00] <brand0con> dug: i already uncommented menu.lst to not include the irrelevant options (good guess tho thats what i thought of too).  ill try to disable the drive via bios.  i guess ill just keep my figers crossed that when the new drive comes it will seemlessly replace the one that its dependent on

[08:00] <nickrud_> drock: don't know much at all about samba ; dismounting would be a test you could run
[08:00] <dudeicles> MartinW: NP I'll see if I can find somewhere that tells you.
[08:00] <drock> nickrud_: k, i'm gonna comment those out of fstab and restart. thanks
[08:00] <MartinW> Thanks
[08:00] <sauvin> Firestarter is just a front end to iptables, correct? This means that the firewall configured with firestarter is active the moment the computer wakes up, and not just when I get around to firing up firestarter, correct?
[08:00] <dudeicles> MartinW: Check this site out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToCookEdubuntu/Chapters/HardwareRequirements
[08:00] <Pici> sauvin: Yes.
[08:01] <alexbOrsova> nikom1: are the refresh rates correct? the ones listed on the product page are 55-75Hz vertical, 30-83kHz horizontal
[08:01] <sauvin> Where would there be a log of iptables activity?
[08:01] <joshritger> what do i need to playback mp3's with fiesty
[08:01] <dudeicles> XMMS is a nice program if you liked Winamp on Windows
[08:01] <sauvin> joshrigger, the list is pretty long; there are all KIND of things to play them.
[08:01] <dudeicles> joshritger:  ^^^^^
[08:01] <Gosha> Trying to enable twinview, how do I know what to set here? : Option    "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "31-82
[08:01] <cafeden> hi all
[08:01] <nikom1> alex, there's just 60Hz on the resolution selection screen nothing else
[08:01] <joshritger> sorry i mean what codecs do i need
[08:02] <dug> sauvin: yes, the first time you run firestarter, iptables is configured, and it remains with that configuration even when firestarter is not running
[08:02] <Flannel> joshritger: if you try and play an mp3, feisty should prompt you to install the codecs
[08:02] <MartinW> Thanks.
[08:02] <nikom1> Also, I asked a person on my favourite forums thru a PM
[08:02] <joshritger>  ok
[08:02] <alexbOrsova> nikom1: hold on a sec
[08:02] <nikom1> I got this answer: "It looks like a configuration problem with X or GTK. Try a different window manager, one that isn't GTK based, see if that changes it. If not, reset your xorg.conf."
[08:02] <neol> joshritger: mpeg* codec
[08:02] <sauvin> dug, I thank you. where would iptables keep a log?
[08:02] <dudeicles> joshritger: What do you men by codecs for mp3's?
[08:02] <joshritger> i can't remember what rhythmbox needs to play mp3's

[08:02] <MrObvious> Oh oops
[08:02] <dug> sauvin: sorry, i don't know where the iptables log is.  maybe it isn't enabled by default
[08:03] <sauvin> Oh?

[08:03] <MrObvious> dudeicles: Wrong thing. :p
[08:03] <Aval0n> does ubuntu feisty let you map to windows share without samba installed?
[08:03] <dudeicles> lol that didn't help at all
[08:03] <Aval0n> I heard a rumor that it did somehow.
[08:03] <dudeicles> MrObvious: Thanks for pointing that out.
[08:03] <DarkAvenger> Hi, Im new to irc and ubuntu. Could someone help me with a networking/hardware problem?
[08:03] <dug> sauvin: just a guess.  actually i searched and it may be /var/log/messages or /var/log/dmesg
[08:04] <Gosha> How do I know my screen vertical and horizontal refresh and sync-rate?
[08:04] <brand0con> test
[08:04] <MrObvious> markelhas: DId you get yourself helped? Sorry I had to leave like that but I"m at work and had a customer.
[08:04] <n00dl3> DarkAvenger: Just state your problem :]
[08:04] <chief> !anyone | DarkAvenger
[08:04] <ubotu> DarkAvenger: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[08:04] <Gosha> +s
[08:04] <sauvin> Good grief, I hope it's not dmesg.

[08:04] <asil> hi to all
[08:04] <DF3_> Hi. Is there a way to install Ubuntu WITHOUT grub?
[08:04] <Flannel> Aval0n: Why would it do that?
[08:04] <nickrud_> sauvin: in /var/log/syslog , lines like Sep  3 21:38:05 aias kernel: [13984.772000]  Inbound IN=wlan0 OUT=
[08:04] <Flannel> DF3_: you need the alternate CD
[08:04] <nikom1> Yeah. Some other boot handler :D
[08:04] <asil> have a c compiler with gnu
[08:04] <MrObvious> Gosha: Oops. It's in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and you can read the file and find the answer.
[08:04] <DF3_> No way with the original cd?
[08:04] <asil> ubuntu
[08:04] <DF3_> Desktop cd?
[08:05] <zachary> !flash
[08:05] <dug> Gosha: you'll need to google for your monitor's model number and find the resolution and refresh rate, or look in any .inf files included on the install cd with the monitor
[08:05] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[08:05] <markelhas> MrObvious, yes , problem solved thnks
[08:05] <Flannel> DF3_: Desktop CD provides very few options, no.
[08:05] <MrObvious> markelhas: Great.
[08:05] <MrObvious> markelhas: What did you do?
[08:05] <Aval0n> does ubuntu feisty let you map to windows share without samba installed?
[08:05] <drock> nickrud_:  yeah, that samba entry in fstab was clogging up the works
[08:05] <MrObvious> !lilo
[08:05] <ubotu> lilo is an alternative [Li] nux Boot[Lo] ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead.
[08:05] <DF3_> Flannel: So Can I overwrite it with lilo later? because when I did that, grub still loaded
[08:05] <asil> i need c compiler with ubuntu
[08:05] <MrObvious> :\
[08:05] <asil> have any
[08:05] <nickrud_> drock: cool, I'll add it to my list ;)
[08:05] <asil> you knw
[08:05] <Flannel> DF3_: sure, I don't see why not
[08:05] <alexbOrsova> nikom1: you know, you used to have more options when setting monitor settings. I haven't had to mess with those settings for a while though
[08:06] <MrObvious> DF3_: What do you need Lilo for?
[08:06] <DF3_> MrObvious: grub gives me problems
[08:06] <alexbOrsova> nikom1: there used to be a monitor option in System -> Administration
[08:06] <MrObvious> DF3_: Like?............
[08:06] <markelhas> MrObvious, i've create a laucher in the desktop with gnome-panel and execute
[08:06] <DarkAvenger> Ok, well my onboard internet, which was working when i installed Ubuntu, wont work anymore. Its really weird, it wont even connect to the router. Im using the same machine with a different added card.
[08:06] <DF3_> MrObvious: Not loading, and now it says "no image called "linux" found"
[08:06] <drock> nickrud_: now to find a way to use a samba share as my music library in Exaile
[08:06] <dug> asil: in terminal run: sudo apt-get install build-essential   You may also need to install the linux-headers for your kernel to build some projects
[08:06] <Flannel> Aval0n: No.  Samba is the protocol.  That's like asking if you can ... uh, play music without speakers.
[08:06] <drock> nickrud_: thanks!
[08:06] <MrObvious> DF3_: Hmm. Have you tried reinstalling Grub?
[08:06] <DF3_> MrObvious: Last time it got stuck at Loading, Please wait..
[08:07] <DF3_> MrObvious: Back then? Yep.
[08:07] <alexbOrsova> nikom1: I'll keep looking but I think those are the only options available now
[08:07] <asil> hi
[08:07] <MrObvious> Hmm.
[08:07] <nickrud_> drock: I'd suggest wrapping the exaile command in a script that mounts & unmounts the shares only when it's running
[08:07] <codeshah> rejoice, thanks - any issues i should know about btw compared to outlook
[08:07] <markelhas> MrObvious, i tryin to install avant-window-navigator do u know the repository for it!?
[08:07] <MrObvious> DF3_: Grub usually works so that's odd. Have you posted on the forums?
[08:07] <nickrud_> drock: and, obviously, already present
[08:07] <MrObvious> !info avant-window-navigator
[08:07] <DF3_> MrObvius, No.
[08:07] <ubotu> Package avant-window-navigator does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[08:07] <drock> nickrud_: k, ill explore
[08:08] <MrObvious> DF3_: ubuntuforums.org Try posting under Install problems.
[08:08] <nikom1> alex, I'm running apt-get xorg-driver-fglrx atm and try sudo aticonfig after installation
[08:08] <drock> nickrud_:  any other media players that can use samba shares as libraries
[08:08] <MrObvious> Or using search.
[08:08] <Flannel> markelhas: Avant has its own repository, http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/Ubuntu+Feisty+Repository?t=anon
[08:08] <n00dl3> DF3_: It may not be pointing to the right drive to load linux from. Ive seen this happen before.
[08:08] <MrObvious> Flannel: Thanks for the help there.
[08:08] <asil> is there anyone who can send me a compiler which cempile c code
[08:08] <DF3_> MrObvious, Forget grab, I just want lilo. but now I have two other problems. First, "no image called... blah blah" and the other is I suspect grub is loading before lilo even though lilo overwritten the MBR
[08:08] <nikom1> Someone used !resolution which helped me a bit :D
[08:08] <alexbOrsova> nikom1: go for it
[08:08] <dug> asil: in terminal run: sudo apt-get install build-essential   You may also need to install the linux-headers for your kernel to build some projects
[08:08] <nickrud_> drock: don't know much at all about samba, I don't own windows computers
[08:08] <asil> i need too
[08:08] <trandat> hi every body
[08:08] <chief> !info build-essential | asil

[08:20] <bruenig> Ashfire908, a bzipped tarball maybe that makes more sense
[08:20] <nickrud_> yotam: you could check out the ones at http://www.submitside.com/free_storage.html

[08:20] <Ashfire908> Flannel i saw
[08:21] <Flannel> Desolato1: You don't need to leave 8mb, no.  Your disk geometry might make that 8mb stick out though.
[08:21] <foug_> dug: awesome thanks man

[08:36] <CyberCod> is there any way to make a temporary "repository" from another computer on the LAN so I don't have to wait for all the packages to download slowly from the repos?
[08:36] <Gecko> bruenig: the disks aren't of the same size...
[08:36] <nickrud_> marginoferror: I was just there myself, no luck. I don't know where the canonical source comes from ...
[08:36] <bruenig> Gecko, does that matter?
[08:36] <Flannel> Gecko: find and cpio, like the debian manual recommends.  http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/

[08:37] <Flannel> Gecko: except, don't move just your home, move your whole thing.
[08:37] <bruenig> Gecko, you could tar it all up perhaps
[08:37] <dug> pvl1: you can boot up to the ubuntu cd, then edit files on your main hard drive, or run fsck to repair a drive, or gparted to format/partition, etc.
[08:37] <Gecko> bruenig: I think I'll stick to Flannels guide.... Taring seems like a waste of time

[08:39] <Gecko> Flannel: thanks for the guide. It's a bit more messy than I thought (no --exclude option to find), so I have to go to single user mode and unmount everything but / to do it I think...
[08:39] <CyberCod> Arcad3z, nope, I started with ubuntu, then added the ubuntustudio repository and installed the Ubuntu-Studio-desktop package
[08:39] <kronos> anyone?
[08:39] <CyberCod> works just fine
[08:39] <nickrud_> CyberCod: you might find apt-proxy useful then
[08:40] <MrObvious> kronos: What's your question?
[08:40] <BBking> dudeicles: ?
[08:40] <CyberCod> apt proxy?  will check it out
[08:40] <Flannel> Gecko: LiveCD would work better.
[08:40] <Gecko> Flannel: not really. I can do both fine
[08:40] <MrObvious> BBking: Did you get that one thing working yet?
[08:40] <kronos> MrObvious: I need help on a system with postfix & maildrop with virtual mailboxes? I can't figure out how to make maildrop to drop maildirsize and deliver messages in mailbox instead of /home/vmail/Maildir file
[08:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Does persistent mode work in Feisty?  I know it does in Dapper..
[08:40] <CyberCod> what about making a DVD full of .debs ?   would that be workable?
[08:40] <Flannel> Gecko: You could --exclude, you can modify the find however you want.  That's just the basics on moving home (and presumably your whole home)
[08:40] <joe__> why cant my desktop effects be enabled?
[08:40] <soothsayer> nickrud_: Why is apt-proxy better than approx?
[08:41] <MrObvious> kronos: Try #postfix?
[08:41] <HAL9090> does ubuntu studio have the same capabilities as ubuntu, also?
[08:41] <Flannel> Gecko: just, the find/cpio option is the best method
[08:41] <HAL9090> er...
[08:41] <nickrud_> soothsayer: cuz I've I've used it? ;)
[08:41] <dug> Jack_Sparrow: not according to pendrivelinux.com  You need to use dapper, or else another distro like damnsmalllinux or slax
[08:41] <kronos> MrObvious: ok
[08:41] <shwouchk> please help! I can't setup an lvm logical volume... heres the error I get: http://rafb.net/p/qbbCFq63.html
[08:41] <Gecko> Flannel: actually, the smart thing is to use find -mount so it doesn't move over other mount points, which I just what I need...
[08:41] <Jack_Sparrow> dug: thanks, I have working Dapper setup
[08:41] <CyberCod> HAL9090: yup, its the same system, just with some extra window dressing, and some premade packages for media creation
[08:41] <dudeicles> BBking: ?
[08:41] <Flannel> Gecko: Ah, I understand what you're doing.
[08:41] <HAL9090> thnx
[08:41] <BBking> Mr0bvious: I did!
[08:42] <logan_> I have a TV tuner card, what are my options for having any usability of it?
[08:42] <BBking> dudeicles: It's working!
[08:42] <nickrud_> soothsayer: you must be an 0caml user
[08:42] <dudeicles> BBking: Awesome to hear. was it using teh stuff from the link?
[08:42] <NuCobra> HALO9090, you still there?
[08:42] <Gosha> !http-server
[08:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about http-server - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:42] <Gosha> !http
[08:42] <ubotu> Browsers available for Linux: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), Opera (Qt, proprietary)  -  HTTP servers: apache2
[08:42] <Gecko> Flannel: yes. It's time for me to face that LVM is a good idea :)
[08:42] <CyberCod> logan: so long as its recognized, there are lots of packages in the repos to use it
[08:42] <HAL9090> it's HAL9090, and yes.
[08:42] <dudeicles> I think installing the nvidia-glx and running the auto detect may have been what did it for me.
[08:42] <CyberCod> TVtime is a good one
[08:42] <logan_> thanks
[08:42] <chief> logan_: depends. Hauppage cards generally work pretty well

[08:43] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[08:43] <MrObvious> :P

[08:43] <MrObvious> Gosha: Apache works fine.
[08:43] <soothsayer> Gosha: How light do you want?
[08:44] <soothsayer> Gosha: apt-cache search web server
[08:44] <dudeicles> BBking: That's funny because that's how I got mine working.
[08:44] <Gosha> like .. for showing files to people

[08:50] <MrObvious> neol: Try http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=irc+proxy&btnG=Google+Search
[08:51] <dudeicles> medfly: Is it that easy?
[08:51] <dudeicles> LOL
[08:51] <medfly> dudeicles, you need to use a capital letter
[08:51] <scguy318> dudeicles: capital D, Linux is case sensitive
[08:51] <MrObvious> !away > mro
[08:51] <kane77> neol, dunno.. but it is quite hady if you want to stay connected (for example on my laptop).. I just reconnect.. and dircproxy/ctrlproxy fetches the stuff I missed...
[08:51] <MrObvious> !away > MrObvious
[08:51] <neol> MrObvious: i already tried that.
[08:51] <dudeicles> ah
[08:51] <clintfish> greetings can someone help me with a problem by compiling gimp 2.4?
[08:51] <winbond> is there a gui ftp client in ubuntu?
[08:51] <neol> MrObvious: u devil :)
[08:51] <Flannel> winbond: Places > Connect to Server
[08:51] <kane77> winbond, gftp
[08:51] <Digital_P> Hey, where is include/linux/config.h????
[08:52] <medfly> winbond, sudo apt-cache search gui ftp gives me results..
[08:52] <dudeicles> Desktop is capitalized
[08:52] <dudeicles> lol
[08:52] <MrObvious> neol: I'm not sure this is the right channel for that. There is a ##freenode I believe the channel is.
[08:52] <Pici> Digital_P: /usr/include/linux/
[08:52] <Digital_P> I'm trying to compile something and it's failing because there's no config.h!!! I've searched all over the system.
[08:52] <kane77> winbond, kftpgrabber, kasablanca
[08:52] <Digital_P> Pici: Already checked, not there.
[08:52] <Digital_P> I installed my kernel headers.
[08:53] <medfly> Digital_P, did you use ./configure?
[08:53] <Xyhthyx> Digital_P: Do you have the build essentials?
[08:53] <mindframe-> if i currently have / /usr /var /home /boot and /tmp mounted on separate partitions, will it hurt anything if i change /etc/fstab to mount everything to / and reboot?
[08:53] <neol> MrObvious: but those proxies dont work,
[08:53] <nikomo> Haha, Ubuntu thinks my broken MP3 player that I use as a memory stick now is a MUVO
[08:53] <adithveeres2> can we install NCTUNS networking software
[08:53] <nickrud_> mindframe-: yes
[08:53] <dug> Digital_P: do you have the kernel headers for your current kernel though?  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[08:53] <nikomo> Doesn't matter, still works perfectly
[08:53] <neol> MrObvious: dont know y.
[08:53] <mindframe-> nickrud_, should i leave /boot alone?
[08:53] <adithveeres2> which version of nctuns
[08:53] <dudeicles> has anyone here ever used Aurora Gtk Engine?
[08:53] <spanks> any1 know how to do a dual boot setup with xp and ubuntu when they are both already installed (seperate disks)
[08:54] <KevinOman> MrObvios that link doesn't work for me
[08:54] <nickrud_> mindframe-: if you have created those as separate partitions and installed stuff on them, you need to mount them to the same point.
[08:54] <medfly> spanks, if you installed ubuntu after windows, youll get grub working. if not, you can just install it
[08:54] <shwouchk> Flannel: saw it?
[08:54] <shwouchk> Flannel: sorry, for the delay - I installed pastebinit but didn't remember then name of the app in ubuntu
[08:54] <mindframe-> so i need to copy the files over first
[08:54] <Digital_P> Xyhthyx: Probably not...
[08:55] <KevinOman> anyone know how to reset mysql password?
[08:55] <Gosha> ...
[08:55] <nickrud_> mindframe-: you could back up the entire system (beyond what I can walk you through here) and reformat your hard disk to a single partition for / , and restore.
[08:55] <winbond> does filezilla run good on ubuntu?
[08:55] <Gosha> how do I create a directory? OTZ .. in the terminal
[08:55] <Troy23> any1 know how to get gnome to work with ubuntu server???
[08:55] <spanks> medfly: i installed ubuntu after windows, but quite honestly i dont understand instructions which i have read to get it to work
[08:55] <Xyhthyx> Digital_P: sudo apt-get install build-essentials

[08:57] <hehehe> apa-apaan dong

[08:58] <hehehe> wahat are you doing
[08:58] <flush> wtf is this
[08:58] <flush> some partition is owned by group "plugdev" and hell, as root i "do not have the permission to change owner of that group"
[08:58] <flush> wtf??
[08:58] <dudeicles> Pici: just wondering why ubotu didn't know what mkdir was
[08:58] <logan_> What networked printer protocol should I be using
[08:58] <MrObvious> user12345: The easy solution is you downoaded a bad ISO or a bad burn of a CD.
[08:58] <dudeicles> Pici: Thought maybe i mispelled it.
[08:58] <hehehe> what are you visit the bathroom
[08:58] <yotam> isn't any other way apart from SVN to mount a folder over the internet?
[08:59] <Pici> dudeicles: Because each of those entries are manually added, and we have no reason to add every single command.
[08:59] <MrObvious> yotam: What kind of folder?
[08:59] <nickrud_> flush: lsattr on the root of the partition, maybe that's set
[08:59] <rambo3> cvs ?
[08:59] <rambo3> ftp
[08:59] <Xyhthyx> yotam: SVN is not really mounting a folder, but yes.
[08:59] <hehehe> yotAM : are yoy doing
[08:59] <user12345> obvious: checked the CD and tried the alernate CD, no joy, same error
[08:59] <Xyhthyx> yotam: There's CVS, SVN, Bazzar and git.
[08:59] <radioman_> how to surf on web when downloading torrent via bitswash, i can't load any page?
[08:59] <magicrob1tmonkey> hey, im looking for a lightweight alternative to mythvideo. Anyone know of anything good?
[08:59] <MrObvious> yotam: Do you mean downloading directories, etc.? Or what esactly?
[08:59] <dudeicles> Pici: I unerstand. just wonderging.
[08:59] <flush> nickrud_  i do "lsattr /media/sda5" ?
[08:59] <logan_> What networked printer protocol should I be using to connect two ubuntu computers?
[09:00] <Pici> yotam: Are you looking for a versioning system?
[09:00] <dug> radioman_: sounds like it might be using up all your bandwidth
[09:00] <rambo3> magicrob1tmonkey,  dod you try freevo
[09:00] <yotam> I want to make a folder on my machine that will be synchronized over the Internet with other location. I won't have other machine to do it so I thought about FTP or svn but I just can't find anything about it
[09:00] <howlingmadhowie> logan_: i think you mean cups (port 631)
[09:00] <yotam> Xyhthyx: what are bazzar and git?
[09:00] <rambo3> magicrob1tmonkey,  also elisa
[09:00] <dug> magicrobotmonkey: the VLC player can play any video format
[09:00] <Xyhthyx> yotam: SVN is a version control system. I think FTP will better suit your needs.
[09:00] <faileas> yotam: rsync?
[09:01] <logan_> Yes, what do I have to do on my other computer to listen/accept CUPS connections
[09:01] <logan_> and how do I get the URI
[09:01] <Pici> yotam: bazaar, git, svn and cvs are all version control systems.
[09:01] <MrObvious> yotam: FTP would be better IMO.
[09:01] <mindframe-> nickrud_, what if i cp -R / to /home, which is currenty /dev/hda8, and set /dev/hda8 to mount at / ???

[09:01] <flush> nickrud_ i never head of plugdev before today actually..

[09:02] <nickrud_> mindframe-: that's a possibility, I'd think carefully about the flags I gave to cp. I don't use the more arcane ones often enough

[09:02] <yotam> MrObvious: I didn't understand a thing you said
[09:02] <Gm4n> !sarge -> etch
[09:02] <mindframe-> k, yeah i should probably tell it to keep permissions
[09:02] <Gm4n> whoops, wrong window. my bad.
[09:02] <nickrud_> flush: it's part of the automounting system. I take it on faith right now
[09:02] <MrObvious> yotam: A no-ip is a DNS service so you can download the stuff.

[09:03] <zachary> I'm having a hard time installing flash on my ppc
[09:03] <chief> zachary: there is no ppc linux flash player
[09:03] <yotam> Xyhthyx: yes. but I want it to be at synch with folders on my machine
[09:03] <nickrud_> mindframe-: but you definitely should be talking to someone who does a lot of system admin, not me :)
[09:04] <zachary> so no youtube?
[09:04] <shwouchk> please help! I can't setup an lvm logical volume... heres the error I get: http://rafb.net/p/qbbCFq63.html
[09:04] <nickrud_> chief: des gnash work on ppc?
[09:05] <Xyhthyx> yotam: Set up your own FTP, but something tells me you can't/don't want to have a computer hosting at home.
[09:05] <zachary> I don't think so... I tried gnash
[09:05] <chief> nickrud_: i'm not sure, I've never used the PPC architecture
[09:05] <_gpg_> i've some fonts problems, some of my applications are running using monospace-9 makeing text unreadable, i didnt change this mysef and dunno how it happened !
[09:06] <yotam> no, the whole Idea is for my computer to be backed up over the web. and my data to be acceessed regardless of my home computer situation
[09:06] <yotam> I admit that no IP is better then nuthing tho
[09:06] <mindframe-> nickrud_, gonna try this out in a vm before i do it on the real thing :)
[09:06] <nickrud_> mindframe-: wise idea :)
[09:06] <_gpg_> i would like to use annother font applied to all my application but donnu how (system -> pref -> fonts are already set to Sans-10)
[09:06] <yotam> Xyhthyx:  no, the whole Idea is for my computer to be backed up over the web. and my data to be acceessed regardless of my home computer situation
[09:06] <Xyhthyx> yotam: Probably not going to find many free solutions to that.

[09:07] <yotam> Xyhthyx:I don't need many, I need one that works.
[09:07] <rambo3> _gpg_, what do you mean
[09:07] <scguy318> winston: if you mean FlightGear then sure, it should be in the repo

[09:08] <splitfish> I'm attempting to create a modular Ubuntu setup on my flash drive, installation goes smoothly and my only problem thus far is the booting/installation of a bootloader. (I don't wish to affect the MBR permanently on the host's computer.) Any advice is appreciated, thanks in advance.
[09:08] <scguy318> nickrud_: i tested latest 0.8.1, YouTube doesnt seem to work 4 me
[09:08] <scguy318> splitfish: install GRUB to the flash device?
[09:08] <MrDeadLock> How do i open port 22 on my ubuntu server?
[09:08] <rambo3> splitfish, did you read !install
[09:08] <nickrud_> scguy318: good to know, I see it's claiming it
[09:08] <tatters> anyone used unison to sync koffice data between laptop and desktop?
[09:08] <Xyhthyx> yotam: All I can suggest is to upload stuff to a filefront accout, or similar service.
[09:09] <zachary> I'm pretty sure I tried gnash... ty though
[09:09] <scguy318> nickrud_: well, I know YouTube has made changes, but yeah
[09:09] <chief> I did get Gnash to play YouTube, but no audio and playback was kinda choppy
[09:09] <MrDeadLock> sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT, DOes this look correct?
[09:09] <splitfish> scguy318: I've tried specifying (sda) for the installation of GRUB but I get a fatal error everytime

[09:10] <user12345> could my problem be related to the listings in fdisk not going up in order? I have sda1-2-3-5-6-7 but no sda4

[09:12] <i3luefire> Question> on my multi-boot system the boot loader is installed in the MBR of my primary HD which has windows xp on it and all of the linux OSes are installed on a secondary HD.  can i somehow delete all of the linux OSes and reset my MBR so that it is like i never installed ubuntu so that i can re-install a single fresh install of kubuntu?

[09:16] <i3luefire> is there a way to fix my MBR by making it like it was pre-linux?
[09:16] <Fxyz4ever> when i open a program, its icon doesn't appear in the trayicon, what happened?

[09:21] <_Bart_> and it doesn' t shutdown
[09:22] <medfly> _Bart_, shutdown -h now ?:P
[09:23] <_Bart_> medfly: yes that works :S
[09:23] <_Bart_> medfly: How can I fix the normal shutdown??
[09:23] <celador> Hello. I can't seem to get any sound on my Ubuntu Feisty installation?
[09:24] <Disorganized> hey peeps, here's an odd one for you. I'm looking for an app that can take a wav file, and compare it with another wav file, to see if the voice is the same. I'm trying to build a voice recognition password system for a website
[09:24] <celador> what should I do?
[09:24] <zachary> gnash definately isn't working.. it just creats a flashing box in firefox
[09:24] <nikomo> :( I don't like how I can only use one apt-get at a time, I'm downloading 160mb worth of updates so I can't get my ethernet-share thru wifi working
[09:25] <Pici> nikomo: Huh? I'm not sure what you think running two would do.
[09:25] <chief> zachary: well, it's still beta software
[09:25] <year0369> join #ubuntu-de
[09:25] <nikomo> Pici, mayby some conflicts?
[09:25] <Pici> nikomo: Yes.
[09:25] <nikomo> I can't understand why tho
[09:26] <ulisse> 'lo guys
[09:26] <Pici> nikomo: Thats just the way dpkg is designed.
[09:26] <nikomo> meh
[09:26] <Xyhthyx> nikomo: You can only use one package manager at a time, but you can still install many packages at a time.
[09:26] <_Bart_> Someone knows how to fix the shutdown problem?
[09:26] <MrObvious> yotam: Did you get it working?
[09:26] <Fxyz4ever> when i open a program, its icon doesn't appear on tray icon, why?
[09:26] <yotam> no.
[09:26] <nikomo> meh, only 26mins left on update downloads
[09:27] <yotam> I just can't understan the idea of that svn
[09:27] <MrObvious> yotam: Okay sorry I had to leave like that.
[09:27] <yotam> that's ok
[09:27] <nikomo> SVNs = awesome
[09:27] <Pici> d4rkmonkey: You might want to search on freshmeat or sourceforge, that is very specialized software.
[09:27] <d4rkmonkey> Pici what?
[09:27] <Pici> d4rkmonkey: Sorry, wrong person.
[09:27] <d4rkmonkey> Pici lol, its ok
[09:27] <Pici> Disorganized: You might want to search on freshmeat or sourceforge, that is very specialized software.
[09:28] <Xyhthyx> yotam: SVN is a version control system. http://subversion.tigris.org/
[09:28] <yotam> what I need is to update  a folder on my machine with a folder over the web.
[09:28] <Disorganized> Pici, ya it is
[09:28] <yotam> Xyhthyx: yeah, that far I got
[09:28] <yotam> Xyhthyx: yeah, that far I got
[09:28] <Disorganized> i'm not even sure how reasonable the idea is
[09:28] <upgrdman> im unable to get to a gui or a cli on my ubuntu install, so i booted the alternate cd and chose rescue and got a shell. so i typed in bash, and they i typed in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but im getting an error about "unknown terminal bterm"
[09:28] <yotam> Xyhthyx: but I don't understand why it won't work
[09:28] <everamzah> w00t
[09:28] <MrObvious> yotam: Okay what I"m talking about is making your computer a FTP server.
[09:29] <yotam> Xyhthyx: do you know about any svn service for non programers?
[09:29] <SeveredCross> Will a rescue shell get you to a shell on the installed system>
[09:29] <slipmaster> I installed a PCI card with serial ports so I can connect to a com port for cisco router config.  I cannot get com1 or com2 with gtkterm.  Is there something I need to do to the ttyS ports to make this work?
[09:29] <Pici> Disorganized: I'll be honest, I think its a very ambitious idea and probably will be very hard to get it to work properly.
[09:29] <SeveredCross> *installed system
[09:29] <upgrdman> SeveredCross, ues
[09:29] <Disorganized> well, that's what i'm thinking too
[09:29] <upgrdman> yes
[09:29] <Xyhthyx> yotam: No, because SVN is for programmers ;p
[09:29] <winbond> how can i enable copy/paste in vmware between host and guest os?
[09:29] <SeveredCross> Okay. Wasn't sure.
[09:29] <zachary> how do I force quit?
[09:29] <zachary> an app
[09:29] <SeveredCross> winbond: That needs VMware Tools installed in the Guest.
[09:29] <yotam> MrObvious: yeah I understood after reading a lil about no-ip but it isn't good anough for me
[09:29] <SeveredCross> zachary: Alt-F2, type in xkill
[09:29] <MrObvious> !kill | zachary
[09:29] <SeveredCross> Then point the skull to the app you wanna kill, and click.
[09:30] <yotam> I need it also for backup, I tend to mess around to much with my machine
[09:30] <ubotu> zachary: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[09:30] <Poul^Laptop> I just installed ubuntu from the live cd. having a nvidia 8800 card, what is the next step to config the grafic properly?
[09:30] <upgrdman> SeveredCross, any idea why its freaking out about bterm when im in bash?
[09:30] <MrObvious> yotam: So a FTP server won't work? I would think it would.
[09:30] <winbond> SeveredCross, i got it installed, but copy./pase doesnt work
[09:30] <niaGirl> hi, i am having a problem getting my desktop to connect to the internet.  when connected directly to the modem, it states it is connected and yet doesn't give me access to the internet.  I have an 82562ez 10/100 ethernet controller (rev 02)
[09:30] <Disorganized> the basic idea, is that since flash has access to the system microphone. use flash to record the user saying a phrase. then save that file into a tmp file on the box. then execute a process to compare that file with another wav file, if they match, return status 1, if not return status 2
[09:30] <MrObvious> zachary: Read that last link ubotu posted about the terminal, specifically the killing part.
[09:30] <SeveredCross> upgrdman: Might be something related to the way dpkg-reconfigure works..Why not just edit xorg.conf by hand?
[09:30] <frojnd> hello
[09:30] <frojnd> does anyone know any program that can make DVDrip ? and also destroy security of dvd ?
[09:30] <niaGirl> i am running feisty
[09:30] <Disorganized> maybe i should be on rentacoder hehe
[09:30] <SeveredCross> winbond: You might be missing a setting somewhere.
[09:31] <MrObvious> yotam: As long as you were to have a decent connection on the computer you need to share from then you would be okay.
[09:31] <howlingmadhowie> frojnd: do you mean the program called dvdrip, or a program for ripping video dvds?
[09:31] <yotam> MrObvious: ftp would be good but only if it runs on an online machine. I could leave my machine at the uni running constantly but then I won't get back up for it
[09:31] <MrObvious> yotam: G2g again ;\
[09:31] <yotam> g2g?
[09:31] <zachary> nice that worked... I'm having problems playing an avi on the server with VLC
[09:31] <yotam> sorry
[09:31] <upgrdman> SeveredCross, well heres the thing. i have a new nvidia 8800 which is known for being difficult to use in ubuntu/linux because you have to use the propreitary drivers to get it to work. I cant even see the gui startup or x.... and ctrl-alt-f1 or f2 dont bring me to a cli
[09:32] <SeveredCross> upgrdman: You should be able to boot into recovery mode.
[09:32] <SeveredCross> or wait for X to crash.
[09:32] <SeveredCross> Then get to a terminal when X crashes.
[09:32] <yotam> Xyhthyx: so isn't there a decent way to mount a web folder on my machine?
[09:32] <rambo3> niaGirl, did you try restarting modem or using other internet apps
[09:32] <upgrdman> SeveredCross, hum... is recovery mode one of the choices in grub?
[09:32] <SeveredCross> Yes upgrdman.
[09:32] <SeveredCross> There's some choice that should be something like recovery mode or something
[09:32] <niaGirl> well, i only tried getting on google
[09:33] <niaGirl> that's when i realized it wasn't working
[09:33] <Xyhthyx> yotam: Yes, but like I said, if you host it yourself.
[09:33] <SeveredCross> Yeah, there should be a recovery mode option.
[09:33] <Arcad3z> how can i restart some services using init and not ruin my uptime ?
[09:33] <SeveredCross> Arcad3z: sudo /etc/init.d/service-name restart
[09:33] <niaGirl> the ubuntu forums states that this controller is only auto configured in edgy but i'm hoping i can continue to use feisty
[09:33] <Arcad3z> some kind of sistem restart
[09:34] <Arcad3z> but not to ruin my uptime
[09:34] <Arcad3z> init 0?
[09:34] <SeveredCross> No!
[09:34] <frojnd> howlingmadhowie, a program for ripping DVDs
[09:34] <retour> Does USB and PS2 keyboards use different hardware ports ?
[09:34] <SeveredCross> I just told you Arcad3z.
[09:34] <rambo3> !modems | niaGirl,
[09:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about modems - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:34] <kitche> Arcad3z, a system restart will kill your uptime
[09:34] <SeveredCross> sudo /etc/init.d/service-name restart
[09:34] <yotam> Xyhthyx: that's not that good, still I'll be needing to back a machine by hand
[09:34] <Arcad3z> yes
[09:34] <SeveredCross> If you wanna restart Apache, sudo /etc/init.d/apache restaart
[09:34] <poornapraveen> Hey all! i recently deleted my ubuntu partition from windows and i am having issues with the grub now... it cant boot up my laptop since linux was the default . can anyone help me?
[09:34] <niaGirl> i'm sorry?
[09:34] <Gosha> http://cookie.hopto.org/hehu4.png <-- Using lighttpd, how do make it avaliable for other people? Chaning on the picture itself?
[09:34] <Arcad3z> i want something similar
[09:34] <Gosha> +g
[09:34] <rambo3> niaGirl, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Modems
[09:34] <Arcad3z> init 0 does the job?
[09:34] <SeveredCross> poornapraveen: Press Escape when oyu first see Grub loading.
[09:34] <Arcad3z> the to go back to init 3
[09:34] <SeveredCross> Arcad3z: Um...init 0 kills everything.
[09:34] <kitche> Arcad3z, init 0 is the samething as shutting down your pc
[09:34] <shizzo> hi all, i want to start cfdisk on my /dev/sda but there is an message: Bad logical partition 9: enlarged logical partitions overlap... what can i do?
[09:35] <rambo3> niaGirl, is it telephone or broadband modem ?
[09:35] <SeveredCross> Arcad3z: Honestly, that's a STUPID way to do it.
[09:35] <SeveredCross> Use the scripts in init.d
[09:35] <Arcad3z> init 1
[09:35] <SeveredCross> That's what they're bloody there for.
[09:35] <Arcad3z> ?
[09:35] <SeveredCross> Unless you wanna restart syslogd or something
[09:35] <SeveredCross> What are you trying to restart?
[09:35] <Xyhthyx> yotam: That's what most people do. Burn backups and keep backup documents in usb drives.
[09:35] <Arcad3z> i updated to ubuntustudio
[09:35] <Arcad3z> and needs restart
[09:35] <user12345> im trying to use break=top as an option to the install and it appears to break before the keyboard works, is there something else I can tell break? like break=middle?
[09:35] <Arcad3z> i have 200 Clients ...
[09:35] <yotam> yeah, only I know I loose them.
[09:36] <awacs> Poul^Laptop: There should be a "Restricted Drivers Manager" running on the taskbar. Open it up and it should give you the option to choose the driver for your card. Try: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[09:36] <SeveredCross> Um, that's gonna be a restart for a newer/different kernel.
[09:36] <SeveredCross> I believe anyway.
[09:36] <Arcad3z> yes ..
[09:36] <Gosha> Why do I get a 403 - Forbidden on all my web-servers? ( nginx  & lighttpd ) the index.html is fine however, why is this?
[09:36] <SeveredCross> I think Ubuntu Studio uses -lowlatency
[09:36] <zachary> I right click on the avi, but it doesn't give me option to open with VLC
[09:36] <SeveredCross> Then you have to reboot your whole PC.
[09:36] <SeveredCross> You can't boot into a new kernel without a full reboot,.
[09:36] <splitfish> Thanks for the help everyone.
[09:36] <yotam> let's say that I have a windows machine that would be constantly online. can I turn it into an ftp server?
[09:36] <Arcad3z> ok ...
[09:36] <poornapraveen> Hey Servedcross, esc doesnt seem to help. the screen reads GRUB loading stage1.5. says please wait and then its Error 17
[09:36] <Arcad3z> i will reboot
[09:36] <radioman_> ..hmm, i close all torent, but still i cant accees any web page ;/, whats that?
[09:36] <howlingmadhowie> zachary: then select "open with" and enter "/usr/bin/vlc" as the program to open the file with
[09:37] <Xyhthyx> yotam: Yes, and you can set it up to securely access it from anywhere.

[09:37] <SeveredCross> poornapraveen: Bizarre...
[09:37] <SeveredCross> poornapraveen: Got a Windows CD?
[09:37] <yotam> is there a web guide for this?
[09:37] <sven_oostenbrink> given error by apt-get is ""The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened
[09:37] <poornapraveen> yeh i do

[09:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 403 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:37] <SeveredCross> You're gonna need to boot from it, then get to a recovery console when it gives you the option (you'll have to press R)
[09:37] <Gosha> !404
[09:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 404 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:37] <Gosha> lol
[09:37] <SeveredCross> Then, at the recovery console, type fixmbr
[09:37] <Poul|Raider> awacs, checking the link but dont see any thing on the taskbar
[09:37] <Gosha> 404 not found
[09:38] <Xyhthyx> yotam: For windows sFTP servers, of course. Google is your friend :)
[09:38] <nikomo> Damn updates are making me fall asleep
[09:38] <poornapraveen> yeh i went through the repair... but that still didnt help
[09:38] <yotam> ok.
[09:38] <SeveredCross> fixmbr didn't help?
[09:38] <yotam> and my ubuntu machine?
[09:38] <christoffernors> Hi. When i attach my external monitor to my laptop the image shows up fine. But when i wanna play a movie it's just a black screen in all other video players than totem. Anyone know how to solve this?
[09:38] <Xenguy> sven_oostenbrink: check /etc/apt/sources.list  ?
[09:38] <howlingmadhowie> poornapraveen: grub installs a pointer in the mbr pointing to the grub installation. by wiping ubuntu from your harddrive you also deleted your boot manager. to be able to boot an operating system from the harddrive, you will have to install a new boot manager
[09:38] <Vlet> My nvidia card keeps defaulting to the vga port as primary (if I have something plugged in there) when I want it to default to dvi.. how do I do this?
[09:38] <poornapraveen> well fixmbr kinda scared me
[09:38] <awacs> Try: System  Administration  Restricted Devices Manager.
[09:38] <poornapraveen> it said it might mess up all data
[09:38] <Xyhthyx> yotam: You can also set one up on ubuntu/linux.
[09:38] <SeveredCross> Bah!
[09:38] <SeveredCross> fixmbr is safe.
[09:38] <poornapraveen> and it prompted me if i should go ahead
[09:38] <Xyhthyx> !ftp | yotam
[09:38] <ubotu> yotam: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd
[09:38] <poornapraveen> oh ok
[09:38] <SeveredCross> I've used it dozens of times.
[09:38] <rambo3> niaGirl, is it telephone or broadband modem ? if you type in search box on top modem you will get alot of them like this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem?highlight=%28modem%29
[09:38] <retour> How to check on my machine what hardware uses what port?
[09:38] <SeveredCross> You're not likely to lose all your data, at least not in my experience.
[09:39] <Dome_> in which directory can i find the systemsounds pls?
[09:39] <SeveredCross> retour: sudo lscpi -vv probably.
[09:39] <nikomo> !FTPd

[09:39] <Xenguy> vsftpd
[09:39] <poornapraveen> is there a way i can remove or fix grub from the live CD? and jus have it bootup with windows?
[09:39] <SeveredCross> poornapraveen: No.
[09:39] <sven_oostenbrink> Xenguy, that should be good, I did not change it since last time
[09:39] <SeveredCross> Like howlingmadhowie said, you removed GRUB.
[09:39] <yotam> Xyhthyx: I didn't understand the last one...
[09:39] <SeveredCross> Whe you removed your Ubuntu partition.
[09:40] <scguy318> poornapraveen: reinstall Windows MBR i guess?
[09:40] <SeveredCross> GRUB's MBR pointer is still there, but GRUB is not.
[09:40] <Xenguy> sven_oostenbrink: I think the error points there, but I could of course be wrong -- maybe you want to verify the permissions on the file too
[09:40] <poornapraveen> hmm ok... i will reboot using winodws CD then..
[09:40] <slipmaster> I have a PCI card with serial ports that I am trying to use gtkterm with.  I figure that ttySx ports aren't being used since this is a PCI card...so how do I figure out what /dev my pci card serial ports are on?
[09:40] <Dome_> in which directory can i find the systemsounds pls, still don't find them....
[09:41] <niaGirl> broadband
[09:41] <nickrud_> Dome_: /usr/share/sounds
[09:41] <howlingmadhowie> poornapraveen: there are a number of third party boot managers you can install which fit in the mbr. grub itself is just too big for the mbr (it can do a huge amount).
[09:41] <poornapraveen> thanks severedcross,scguy ,howlingmadhowie
[09:41] <poornapraveen> thanks all
[09:41] <poornapraveen> oh ok..
[09:41] <MrObvious> yotam: okay back.
[09:41] <GNine> whats the command to ignore all joins/quits (in channel)
[09:41] <Dome_> thank you nickrud_ !
[09:41] <poornapraveen> but how can i install it wheni  cant get into any OS?
[09:41] <realshiva> hi guys, i included dmx_usb.ko in /etc/modules, but when i reboot, he dont include the module.
[09:41] <MrObvious> yotam: Sorry I'm at work and can't be dedicated to this channel.
[09:41] <retour> Severed: nogo
[09:42] <realshiva> he also dont write anything about the modul in syslog
[09:42] <Usrl> GNine: that will depend on your client. Mine (chatzilla) does it automatically
[09:42] <realshiva> what a i do wrong ?
[09:42] <Meyvn> I'm trying to get X server to start (on my laptop), but it keeps giving me errors, I have tried reconfiguring xserver-xorg 13 times with no luck. It seems X can't find compatible VESA modes. My latop uses a ATI Mobility X2300 GPU.
[09:42] <GNine> got xchat
[09:42] <winbond> SeveredCross, im using the server, it doesnt support copy/pase, i think only the workstation does
[09:42] <kitche> GNine, depedns on client  but /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +QUITS +PARTS does it for some
[09:42] <zachary> I type in "usr" or my user name?
[09:42] <GNine> 10-4
[09:42] <rambo3> niaGirl, ok those should work out of the box. did you setup gateway and other info in network configuration ?
[09:42] <yotam> MrObvious: It's totally ok. I think I'll go with setting up an ftp server at work and will try and keep the machine on
[09:43] <Paolo> ciao
[09:43] <Paolo> thera are italian boy
[09:43] <MrObvious> yotam: I personally think that a FTP server will work. Where are the two machines that you need to access?
[09:43] <howlingmadhowie> poornapraveen: sometimes you can download a boot loader to a floppy, a usb stick or a cd. then you boot from this medium.
[09:43] <MrObvious> yotam: You mentioned a university and work, is that it?
[09:43] <upgrdman> is it possible to disable the gui bootup? im having problems with it
[09:43] <poornapraveen> would u recommend any bootloaders?
[09:43] <Digital_P> OK, I still have no linux/config.h -- I installed kernel headers and build-essential
[09:43] <zachary> usr/bin/vlc.... didn't do anything
[09:43] <MrObvious> poornapraveen: Grub works for Ubuntu okay.
[09:43] <Digital_P> I'm really ticked.
[09:43] <Devo> How do I uninstall programs from the terminal?
[09:43] <Poul^Laptop> awacs, after that i got the blue screen saying x server not configured?
[09:44] <yotam> MrObvious: yes. one machine at home and the second at uni. I'm only setting it up now so it will take me some time
[09:44] <Digital_P> Devo: apt-get remove <package>
[09:44] <Usrl> Devo: depends on how you installed it
[09:44] <Devo> Thanks.
[09:44] <zelva> devo: sudo apt-get remove
[09:44] <Xenguy> Devo: apt-get remove program-name
[09:44] <Paolo> exume
[09:44] <MrObvious> Digital_P: One second I'll look it up.
[09:44] <Xenguy> Devo: er, sudo that
[09:44] <MrObvious> yotam: Okay which do you want the server to be on?
[09:44] <Paolo> can you help me?
[09:44] <Paolo> i would like a channel in italian
[09:44] <niaGirl> no, i just have it set to autodetect
[09:44] <_Bart_> To install nvidia drivers I need to know what module for my kernel I must install, can I see that somewhere?
[09:44] <Frogzoo> !it | Paolo
[09:44] <ubotu> Paolo: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[09:44] <yotam> the machine at the uni
[09:45] <niaGirl> auto for dhcp
[09:45] <upgrdman> anyone? is it possible to force a non gui bootup? im not talking about disabling x or gdm... but it actual boot up...
[09:45] <howlingmadhowie> yotam: unless you really have to use ftp, i'd recommend tunneling file shares through an encrypted connection (ssh)
[09:45] <niaGirl> which is what i have set on xp on this laptop i'm typing from
[09:45] <dnz_x> Sysinfo for 'uslu': Linux <IP_ADDRESS>-86 running KDE 3.5.7, CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz at 600 MHz (1200 bogomips), HD: 167/431GB, RAM: 1241/1256MB, 99 proc's, 1.37h up
[09:45] <Xenguy> upgrdman: I usually install 'rcconf', then use that to turn gdm on and off at boot
[09:45] <MrObvious> yotam: Okay then. Is it in your dorm or something? Because the problem I forsee is that the university might block the ports for a FTP server.
[09:45] <kitche> upgrdman, remove quiet and splash from menu.lst
[09:45] <Usrl> upgrdman: What do you mean GUI boot? The splash scren?
[09:45] <e> fn'upgrdman: do you mean removeing the splash screen at boot?
[09:45] <upgrdman> yes the splash
[09:45] <niaGirl> rombo, this laptop i'm using now is connected with a wired connection.  it is also set to dhcp and auto config
[09:46] <MrObvious> yotam: Or do you have your own dedicated connection apart from the university?
[09:46] <nikomo> !fi | nikomo
[09:46] <yotam> MrObvious: yes. it's in the lab I'm working in.
[09:46] <e>  remove quiet and splash from menu.lst
[09:46] <Frogzoo> upgrdman: disable gdm, and remove 'splash' & 'quiet' options in /boot/grub/menu.lst, then run 'sudo update-grub'
[09:46] <howlingmadhowie> poornapraveen: sorry, i don't know of any particular boot loaders which fit in the mbr. maybe wikipedia could help you
[09:46] <upgrdman> kitche, where is menu.lst
[09:46] <Reval> hello
[09:46] <Poul^Laptop> whats the command for configure the x-server?
[09:46] <_Bart_> To install nvidia drivers I need to know what module for my kernel I must install, can I see that somewhere??
[09:46] <MrObvious> yotam: So you can port forward okay, or you have a public IP?
[09:46] <e> /boot/grub
[09:46] <upgrdman> o thx Frogzoo
[09:46] <yotam> MrObvious: and no, I don't have a dedicated connection. off with that Idea
[09:46] <Digital_P> MrObvious: Finding anything? I couldn't find it on packages.ubuntu.com
[09:46] <SpudDogg> I've got a brand new feisty install on my desktop, and any key i press changes the screen resolution making even logging in impossible.    Any ideas?
[09:46] <zachary> anyway to add vlc to the open with menu?
[09:46] <MrObvious> howlingmadhowie: That might help.
[09:46] <rambo3> niaGirl, can you ping the modem
[09:46] <MrObvious> Digital_P: I had to install apt-file
[09:46] <funman> oups
[09:46] <zelva> upgman /home/username/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml
[09:47] <MrObvious> Digital_P: It'll take a while.
[09:47] <yotam> MrObvious: this is to big for me, I don't think I'll remember that.
[09:47] <Digital_P> MrObvious: OK. thanks.
[09:47] <MrObvious> yotam: So I guess a FTP server won't work probably.
[09:47] <niaGirl> i would have to disconnect from here and then reconnect after attempting to ping the modem
[09:47] <niaGirl> how do i ping it?
[09:47] <Reval> Is there a way for me to upgrade to fiesty or install fiesty when the cd won't work for a computer?   Do you have a 3rd place that you could put this server? Or do you have a connection you could get for just the server like DSL or Cable?
[09:47] <yotam> howlingmadhowie: and I need something mounted
[09:47] <scguy318> !install | Reval
[09:47] <ubotu> Reval: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[09:47] <k31th> for web hosting 2 dns servers in different data centres should surfice?
[09:48] <wil> irc.freenode.com
[09:48] <MrObvious> wil: It's .net not .com
[09:48] <PlayMeNow> hi
[09:48] <howlingmadhowie> yotam: and don't worry about blocking ports. if you have access to the ftp server and the ftp client you can assign different ports
[09:48] <yotam> MrObvious: nope. I don't want to leave the machine on at home.
[09:48] <poornapraveen> hey severedcross! it says my computer has a nonstandard mbr and that fixmbr might damage the partition tabloes
[09:48] <SpudDogg> I've got a brand new feisty install on my desktop, and any key i press changes the screen resolution making even logging in impossible.    Any ideas?
[09:48] <rambo3> !network
[09:48] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:48] <MrObvious> !hi | PlayMeNow
[09:48] <ubotu> PlayMeNow: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:48] <SeveredCross> Don't worry about that.
[09:48] <poornapraveen> ok! :)
[09:48] <niaGirl> !network
[09:48] <niaGirl> ?
[09:48] <SeveredCross> It says that because WIndows doesn't expect to see anything but Windows' MBR loader there.
[09:48] <niaGirl> i'll brb
[09:49] <SeveredCross> It sees Grub and goes "What is this? Me no understand."
[09:49] <yotam> howlingmadhowie: you mean that I can tell my machine at work to use port 80 for ftp and so to my machine at home?
[09:49] <howlingmadhowie> yotam: the problem with ftp is that everything you send is unencrypted unless you send it inside an encrypted connection (a vpn, for example)
[09:49] <upgrdman> hum, removing quiet and splash helped a little, but my screen is still going black shortly after bootup... like after the kernel loads but as soon as would come up it goes all black. in recovery mode i can boot up just fine tho! ugh...
[09:49] <MrObvious> yotam: Yeah I hear ya. But the problem I forsee at a university is that they will have it so you can't set up a FTP server without talking to the IT admins for your specific case.
[09:49] <niaGirl> thanks for everything so far rombo
[09:49] <winbond> can i save my virtual machine, then install workstation instead of the server and just load my saved VM??  or will i have to set it up from scratch?
[09:49] <poornapraveen> :) ok
[09:49] <PlayMeNow> I want to boot ubuntu & xp with ntldr because grub is way too slow (compared to grub from ub 6.06 and ntldr)
[09:49] <PlayMeNow> is there any way?
[09:49] <rambo3> niaGirl, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetAndNetworking?highlight=%28networking%29
[09:49] <howlingmadhowie> yotam: yeah, you could do that. there's no law saying ftp has to use port 23 (or whichever port it is)
[09:49] <yotam> MrObvious: I never thought about that.
[09:49] <MrObvious> yotam: You might be able to set up a server at home or at a 3rd party place and leave that open.
[09:50] <MrObvious> yotam: I've tried this already lol..
[09:50] <Digital_P> SpudDogg: Good for you. So am I. :\
[09:50] <SpudDogg> Digital_P:   you need help with something?
[09:50] <MrObvious> Digital_P: Found it. Try the packages xen-headers-2.6.16 xen-doc-2.6.16
[09:50] <yotam> howlingmadhowie: that's a good Idea. as the most important thing I'll be sending is my master, I belive using an unsecure connection won't be to bad
[09:50] <PlayMeNow> [22:49]  <PlayMeNow> I want to boot ubuntu & xp with ntldr because grub is way too slow (compared to grub from ub 6.06 and ntldr)
[09:50] <Digital_P> MrObvious: What is xen?
[09:51] <SpudDogg> I've got a brand new feisty install on my desktop, and any key i press changes the screen resolution making even logging in impossible.    Any ideas?
[09:51] <anto9us> PlayMeNow: no, you can alter the timing on grub though see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[09:51] <niaGirl> brb
[09:51] <yotam> MrObvious: home is not an option. about 3rd party place, I tried to find a site that will do that.
[09:51] <Digital_P> MrObvious: W/E, if it has the files... :) Thanks!
[09:52] <zachary> so when I use vlc, I can't open files that are on the network... anyone know why?
[09:52] <yotam> howlingmadhowie:is there a way to mount a folder from my windows machine at the uni to a computer at home via ssh?
[09:52] <Gosha> How do I change permissions trough the terminal?
[09:52] <poornapraveen> ok... it seems to work so far... i am not seeing grub!
[09:52] <Gosha> !permissions
[09:52] <poornapraveen> thanks alot severedcross!
[09:52] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[09:52] <PlayMeNow> also, will ext2 IFS work with ext3?
[09:52] <zachary> only desktop and sample
[09:52] <poornapraveen> and thanks everyone else!
[09:53] <Poul^Laptop> how do i config the xserver thing, sudo nvidia-xconfig    whats the command after that
[09:53] <kitche> PlayMeNow, yes since ext2=ext3 but ext3 has journaling added
[09:53] <Xenguy> Gosha: chmod (and chown)
[09:53] <howlingmadhowie> yotam: you'd have to install an ssh server on the windows machine. don't ask me how to do that. mounting folders over ssh is a pretty standard thing on *nix computers however, so there must be software to enable it on windows
[09:53] <MrObvious> Digital_P: Also try ruby1.8-dev ruby 1.9-dev libuclibc-dev
[09:53] <MrObvious> digital_p: I would suggest trying those packages one at a time, and if it doesn't work uninstall it, then go to the next.
[09:54] <MrObvious> yotam: Hmm this is a tough one.
[09:54] <yotam> ok. I'll just have to find some windows guru to do it won't I...
[09:54] <Xenguy> howlingmadhowie: I have installed an ssh server on a windows box before.  I think I used 'cygwin', but don't remember the exact process anymore.  It can be done, if need be
[09:54] <Xenguy> er, yotam ^^^
[09:54] <MrObvious> yotam: No I've set up FTP servers before and know how, but it's just you need a network that you can configure yourself.
[09:54] <SpudDogg> I've got a brand new feisty install on my desktop, and any key i press changes the screen resolution making even logging in impossible.    Any ideas?
[09:54] <probono> hi all, is there a way to set GNOME fonts (for dialogs, menus, etc.) from the CLI? (In which config file are the fonts saved?)
[09:54] <MrObvious> yotam: The problem is getting past a NAT router. :(
[09:54] <veracruzano> Enter text here...hola alguna amiguita para charlar
[09:54] <yotam> yes Xenguy?
[09:55] <sauvin> How is French language support added so that I don't get ? for accented characters?

[09:55] <Xenguy> yotam: see the line above
[09:55] <nikomo> finally updates got downloaded
[09:55] <MrObvious> yotam: I wonder if you could buy webspace with FTP access or find a friend who has a box you could set up for a FTP server or SFTP server.
[09:56] <yotam> Xenguy: thanks I'll hope I'll remember ony of that once my machine is up
[09:56] <SpudDogg> nobody knows my keypress problem?
[09:56] <anto9us> yotam: you can forward ports 139 and 445 over ssh, smb (windows shares) uses one or the other as I recall
[09:56] <MrObvious> yotam: Or you could buy a DSL/Cable broadband account and put it in your dorm.
[09:56] <veracruzano> hola
[09:56] <MrObvious> anto9us: The problem is fiinding a place to forward ports.
[09:56] <MrObvious> anto9us: He's at a university.
[09:56] <sauvin> How is French language support added so I don't get question marks (or other sillinesses) every time an accented character is cat'ed to the terminal?
[09:56] <Xenguy> yotam: don't remember it, just log the channel or take softcopy notes :-)
