[21:30] <EvilDennisR> edwardxp: There are plenty of other far better players than xmms..
[21:31] <leato> edwardxp: http://www.exaile.org/downloads :))
[21:31] <gnomefreak> leato: its in the repos
[21:31] <Starnestommy> edwardxp: audacious is very good if you want something like xmms
[21:31] <wiseman> I have ubuntu 8.04.16 with Xfce and I have yet to have it work once.
[21:32] <leato> gnomefreak: f***
[21:32] <leato> :(
[21:32] <wiseman> I'm quite a noob, so go easy, but any help would be appreciated!
[21:32] <edwardxp> you don't understand
[21:32] <edwardxp> that define linux in my viewing
[21:32] <ramboza> how to put someone's nickname into the text field here in IRC?
[21:32] <edwardxp> with no xmms, there can be no linux :( for me
[21:32] <bogey-> xfce is tricky to get working , because it is made for older things
[21:32] <gnomefreak> ramboza: type their name
[21:32] <bogey-> !offtopic | edwardxp
[21:32] <EvilDennisR> edwardxp: apt-get install xmms2
[21:33] <gnomefreak> ramboza: example ram<tab> what you want to say
[21:33] <rohan> i cleaned up my old kernels, but noticed that there are many directories in /lib/modules still having kernel revision -16, -17, -18. they all have -386, -generic, -server, -rt directories. however, the latest update to kernel, -19, has only the -generic directory in /lib/modules. is it a problem?
[21:33] <edwardxp> i did that EvilDennisR ; and gxmms2
[21:33] <rohan> can someone please cross check with their system and tell me?
[21:33] <gnomefreak> rohan: no
[21:33] <ramboza> gnomefreak, thanks
[21:33] <EvilDennisR> edwardxp: You can always download the old xmms source and compile it by hand.
[21:33] <edwardxp> but i would like the older one, its' cool i'll try to get it to work.. thanks
[21:33] <gnomefreak> ramboza: np
[21:33] <edwardxp> i will
[21:33] <bogey-> edwardxp you already know why its not in ubuntu!
[21:33] <bogey-> please go to #ubuntu-offtopic for random chatter
[21:34] <rohan> gnomefreak: ok, and why the sudden change? why did the old kernels have those many directories, and -19 doesn't?
[21:34] <espen> I am trying to setup a nfs share between a nslu2 running deb and an hardy client. the nslu2 has 5 hdd's mounted in mnt and all premissions is 755. I can see the directories where they are mounted from my client, but they are all empty....any ideas?
[21:34] <EvilDennisR> wiseman: whats wrong with xfce
[21:34] <gnomefreak> rohan: not sure
[21:34] <Uplink> snmpee, :/
[21:34] <rohan> gnomefreak: but it was the same for you too?
[21:34] <wiseman> Nothing is particularly wrong with Xfce.  I just cannot get cheese to play nice.  It doesn't work in Gnome either.
[21:34] <wiseman> EvilDennisR:
[21:34] <stu> can someone help me with a freenx problem - here is the output from /var/log/messages http://pastebin.com/m515105c2
[21:34] <gnomefreak> rohan: they have been fixing the kernels in Hardy but im not sure the details
[21:34] <swirv> There is nothing wrong with XFCE4
[21:34] <gnomefreak> rohan: this box isnt running Hardy
[21:35] <EvilDennisR> wiseman: Ah.. I dunno then. Never used cheese
[21:35] <terry85> buenas yo utilizo xubuntu 8.04 soy nuevo en esto
[21:35] <rohan> gnomefreak: ok, thanks :)
[21:35] <terry85> y tengo un problema
[21:35] <gnomefreak> rohan: i will check this week. send me an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and remind me
[21:35] <wiseman> EvilDennisR: thanks anyway
[21:35] <terry85> alguien me alyuda
[21:35] <bogey-> !english | terry85
[21:35] <leato> terry85: join #ubuntu-es
[21:35] <terry85> ==??
[21:35] <swirv> I know of a few people using xfce on ubuntu with no problems.. however the ubuntu experiance is best on GNOME
[21:35] <gnomefreak> terry85: /j #ubuntu-es
[21:35] <wiseman> Just this new laptop comes with a webcam and I'd like to use it.
[21:35] <wiseman> swirv: it doesn't work on gnome either.
[21:36] <wiseman> swirv: works fine in vista though....
[21:36] <terry85> ok thanxs
[21:36] <swirv> What does not work in gome?
[21:36] <wiseman> Cheese
[21:36] <swirv> I may have missed your question.
[21:36] <rohan> gnomefreak: sure
[21:36] <wiseman> so far I really like xfce.  It's like dropping a big block v8 in a miata.
[21:36] <rohan> gnomefreak: i should send now?
[21:37] <leato> wiseman: if you liked xfce, you'll love enlightenment
[21:37] <gnomefreak> wiseman: Windows buys licenses from comapnys to get drivers for <hardware> that is why it costs so much, it is impossible to compare Linux with Windows
[21:37] <bogey-> !xfce
[21:37] <gnomefreak> rohan: send in a few hours
[21:37] <leato> !enlightenment
[21:37] <wiseman> In short:  When I record a video in cheese, swirv, it will not allow me to play it.  I try to play it, mplayer launches and crashes, then cheese hangs and will not even close.
[21:37] <bogey-> !offtopic | leato
[21:37] <gnomefreak> rohan: go ahead send it now ill save it
[21:37] <rohan> gnomefreak: ok ;)
[21:38] <wiseman> gnomefreak: the webcam works fine.  I can see myself and everything.  i was just saying it's clearly not a hardware issue
[21:38] <SymbianDJ> any1 know bout Xorg around here as to why there are 2 processes always running, one dependant on the other
[21:38] <gnomefreak> bogey-: is there a reason that you sent !offtopic to leato ?
[21:38] <leato> ubottu: E runs well on ubuntu! it's just another option :( isnt that the idea? multiple options?
[21:38] <swirv> How was leato offtopic?
[21:38] <leato> :P
[21:38] <gnomefreak> wiseman: most issues are caused by drivers (depending on the drivers used)
[21:38] <leato> swirv: got me
[21:38] <jon_high9000> shawnr34: hi. can you show me the (repository) link in private? i am not certain if doing it out in the open will get you into trouble or no.
[21:39] <bogey-> gnomefreak: because as the offtopic shows we are here to support people, not chat about things we like i think?
[21:39] <neurobuntu> So i guess my ALT keys aren't working either, I've pulled up xev and neither key presse register like it should
[21:39] <gnomefreak> leato: please dont play with the bot in this channel. join #ubuntu-bots if you want to play with it
[21:39] <blizzkid> lo all. Is there a way to connect to see what's happening on tty1 (irssi running there) from gnome?
[21:39] <leato> gnomefreak: my bad, sorry
[21:39] <wiseman> gnomefreak: a driver issue will prevent me from even being able to close a program?
[21:39] <Simulous> Hey
[21:39] <gnomefreak> bogey-: i only saw him play with bot. sorry if i missed something
[21:39] <wiseman> gnomefreak: I cannot even close cheese.  it won't die.  the video is getting in there, it just refuses to do anything productive once it's recorded.
[21:39] <swirv> blizzkid hit CTRL+ALT+F1
[21:39] <gnomefreak> wiseman: yes if it loops due to code in driver
[21:40] <wiseman> gnomefreak: ok, how can I kill it?
[21:40] <rohan> gnomefreak: sent :)
[21:40] <SymbianDJ> hi all.. any1 knows as to why there are 2 Xorg processes always running, one dependant on the other ?
[21:40] <Choicefresh> I'm trying to install Paint-Mono, but neither method i use works
[21:40] <blizzkid> swirv: duhu, obviously I meant without switching to it
[21:40] <fadi> heey
[21:40] <bogey-> gnomefreak: im just trying to help in a polite way
[21:40] <swirv> then CTL+ALT+F7 to get back to X
[21:40] <leato> gnomefreak: i recommended Enlightenment andthe thing blame it on me :S.. there should not be an !enlightenment available if it's offtopic, right?
[21:40] <swirv> ahh.. well that I am not sure...hehe
[21:40] <gnomefreak> wiseman: ctrl+c or look in ps aux for PID and kill -9 PID#
[21:40] <hellues> hey
[21:40] <gaten> in sshd_config, the option "RSAAuthentication" (among others) applies to protocol v1 only, so if im force v2 only, the entry is completely unnecessary correct?
[21:40] <hellues> i mam using ubuntu 8.04
[21:40] <wiseman> gnomefreak: I believe I mentioned I was a n00b.  what the hell is ps aux for PID etc
[21:41] <hellues> how can i take mutimedia package like w32codecs libdvdcss etc.
[21:41] <wiseman> ctrl+c does nothing
[21:41] <wiseman> right click > close does nothing
[21:41] <gnomefreak> leato: did someone ask about it? we use #ubuntu-offtopic for apps is better than app.
[21:41] <bogey-> wiseman: ps aux << shows all running processes
[21:41] <leato> wiseman: ps lists all the current processes, aux makes the list show you the processes IDs and such
[21:41] <fadi> I wanna a program that i can edit a C program and compile it (without terminal)
[21:41] <fadi> is some body can help me
[21:41] <fadi> ?
[21:41] <rohan> fadi: use anjuta.
[21:41] <bogey-> wiseman: in that list is a pid and it is a number. You do a Kill -9 PID_NUMBER and it will stop that Xorg process
[21:41] <geekytechguy> fadi: whats you problem, i missed it
[21:41] <salmonella_tomat> or eclipse
[21:41] <Choicefresh> sorry i accidedntally parted
[21:42] <slayton> help My CTRL and ALT keys stopped working, I can CNTL+ALT+Backspace to kill X, I can use CNTRL at the login screen but after I login the keys don't work!
[21:42] <fadi> a have a kdevelop but i can't compile it
[21:42] <leato> gnomefreak: someone said he likes xfce.. but ok, ill cut it off, sorry
[21:42] <gnomefreak> wiseman: ps aux lists running processes and the 2nd collum lists the PID number (atleast i think its 2nd one. the PID # refers to what number the Ubuntu gave to that process
[21:42] <fadi> can i compile it from it generally ?
[21:42] <bogey-> slayton: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75197
[21:42] <geekytechguy> idk, soory
[21:42] <geekytechguy> sorry*
[21:43] <rohan> fadi: yes
[21:43] <fadi> rohan> can i compile also
[21:43] <fadi> ?
[21:43] <Choicefresh> So how do I install Paint Mono?
[21:43] <bogey-> slayton: change keyboard layout to your country, probably US Keyboard
[21:43] <hellues> no
[21:43] <hellues> repo
[21:43] <hellues> how can i find repo
[21:43] <wiseman> hey thanks, that killed it
[21:43] <bogey-> wiseman: you are welcome
[21:43] <gnomefreak> wiseman: if you look in there (type ps aux) in terminal and look for cheese? or whatever app it is that isnt closing and it should have a number on the line example number is 6192
[21:43] <fadi> rohan>  how can i compile a program that i wrote in Kdevelop?
[21:43] <slayton> bogey- Ok I'll try that, but I've been using my current install for weeks
[21:44] <slayton> bogey- and the problem just started
[21:44] <wiseman> but still, I'm having issues.  I paid for this webcam and I'd like to be able to use it.
[21:44] <rohan> Choicefresh: http://code.google.com/p/paint-mono/wiki/PortingStrategy see at the bottom
[21:44] <leato> wiseman: ps ax | grep APPNAME ;)
[21:44] <Choicefresh> rohan: i tried that
[21:44] <rohan> fadi: is it just a single C file?
[21:44] <gnomefreak> wiseman: line will look something like 1000      5371  0.0  1.3   6168  3460 pts/1    Ss   16:24   0:00 bash  only not bash but cheese
[21:44] <rohan> Choicefresh: where is it failing?
[21:44] <Choicefresh> but when i type paintdotnet in the shell it says there is no such command
[21:44] <wiseman> gnomefreak: I already killed it
[21:44] <fadi> yes
[21:44] <gnomefreak> wiseman: ok
[21:44] <fadi> rohan yes
[21:44] <wiseman> gnomefreak: thanks for the help.  I was getting concerned
[21:44] <maynard> hi... i have installed a program with synaptic but i can't find it... how can i do?
[21:45] <rohan> fadi: i don't remember, but i think there is a "Compile" function in the "Build" menu or so
[21:45] <Choicefresh> the other method i tried was sudo apt-get install paint-mono, but it depends on mono-tools-locales which is not installable
[21:45] <wiseman> gnomefreak: when it crashes, there's a bug report thing and it tells me to look in /docs/html but I don't know where the hell that is
[21:45] <leato> maynard: remember the name of it? type it in a terminal and see what happens (you can always use tab key to search commands)
[21:45] <fadi> rohan look
[21:45] <gnomefreak> wiseman: there are other ways to kill processes some processes you wouldnt want to use kill -9 instead you may want to use killall cheese or whatever apps it is
[21:45] <bpmarkham> hey everyone i like winamp alot so whats the best music player to go with (doesn't necessarily have to look like winamp)
[21:45] <softdrink> Anyone have any luck using an external monitor on a MacBook Pro with Hardy?
[21:45] <Mr0815> hi folks, i got a tiny little problem: when i'm playing a game in fullscreen mode, sometimes it just switches to window mode and i can use neither mouse nor keyboard
[21:45] <fadi> i was download a anjuta
[21:45] <rohan> Choicefresh: which repository are you using, that has paint-mono package?
[21:45] <serwou> Hello the chan
[21:45] <maynard> leato: thanks
[21:45] <fadi> so how can i compile it here ?
[21:45] <gnomefreak> wiseman: give me a sec ill look for exact path if i have it
[21:46] <leato> maynard: np :)
[21:46] <slayton> bogey: so I reset the keyboard configuration to us and the cntrl key is still acting funny
[21:46] <chuy_max> hi, I'm learning openGL and I'm using ubuntu, I want to download glut, but I don't know which package should I get, there is libglut3-dev and freeglut3-dev, any ideas?
[21:46] <Choicefresh> rohan: not sure...i added it when i was searching google for how to install paint-mono
[21:46] <bogey-> slayton: gib me a min to look something up
[21:46] <Choicefresh> let me check, what's the file that lists repositories?
[21:46] <gnomefreak> wiseman: in a terminal type locate /doc/html it should show you
[21:46] <rohan> Choicefresh: /etc/apt/sources.lst
[21:46] <fadi> rohan>
[21:47] <wiseman> gnomefreak: no such file or directory
[21:47] <serwou> I wanted to remove the proprietary ATI driver from my current laptop and reinstall it, after some bad manipulation, my Xorg.conf is broken, I'm stuck in low resolution but fglrx is loaded :-/ Anyone could help me out
[21:47] <SymbianDJ> hi all.. any1 knows as to why there are 2 Xorg processes always running, one dependant on the other
[21:47] <rohan> fadi: ok, since i'm not using it myself, i can't help you :( but i'm sure that it can compile and execute single C files, i've done it myself.
[21:47] <Choicefresh> i think it's this one
[21:47] <Choicefresh> deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xmlich02/ubuntu hardy main
[21:47] <bogey-> slayton: System>preferences>keyboard, go to the "layout options" tab, select "alt/win key behavior" and check the "alt and meta are on the alt keys
[21:47] <fadi> rohan ok
[21:47] <wiseman> gnomefreak: Let me walk you through what happens,maybe you can figure out what it's doing and how to rectify.  I record the video, i stop recording.  everything looks fine.  the video appears at the bottom of the screen
[21:48] <maynard> leato: xfe works but texlive no...
 did you try ubuntu's restore at boot up ?
[21:48] <wiseman> gnomefreak: then I doubleclick it and it fires up mplayer.  mplayer gives me an error saying "error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device
[21:48] <gnomefreak> wiseman: yeah me neither maybe try find doc/html or look in ~/.cheese  that is home dir. you can either if in GUI go to view and check show hidden files since the ~/. means hidden (dot means hidden ~/ means home
[21:48] <serwou> no, the second grub option SymbianDJ ?
[21:48] <SymbianDJ> yes that's right.
[21:48] <gnomefreak> wiseman: you dont have all drivers you need for video playback it sounds liuke
[21:48] <gnomefreak> like
[21:48] <maynard> leato: no... tex works too
[21:48] <tiax> Hi, I want to synch evolution with an syncml server on the internet. Which program would I use?
[21:48] <slayton> bogey- then do I logout/login?
[21:48] <wiseman> gnomefreak: I hit ok.  it gives me another error saying Mplayer interrupted by signal 11 in module init_audio_codec
[21:48] <SymbianDJ> serwou: there is an option to fix the X from there.
[21:49] <slayton> or should the effect be immediate
[21:49] <bogey-> slayton: yes
[21:49] <bogey-> slayton: you should have to logout and log back in, the keys are user specific
[21:49] <da91> can someone tell me how to update from 5.** to 8.04?
[21:49] <gnomefreak> wiseman: your missing codecs is the most common reason why it would send a interupt signal to app.
[21:49] <leato> maynard: found the app you installed? terminal throws any error?
[21:49] <da91> can someone tell me how to update from 5.** to 8.04? without cd's?
[21:49] <wiseman> gnomefreak: mplayer crashed by bad usage of cpu/fpu/RAM recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make "gdb" backtrace and disassembly.  details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash
[21:50] <gnomefreak> !video | wiseman please look at these links to find the codecs you need
[21:50] <leato> da91: you got a long road ahead *-*
[21:50] <leato> da91: can't you download and burn?
[21:50] <maynard> leato: no errors but i want a link on the desktop
[21:50] <da91> yes, but its not reconising the disks :(
[21:50] <serwou> SymbianDJ : I haven't see it. Rescue mode from grub or from a livecd ?
[21:50] <slayton> bogey- that fixed it thanks, do you have any idea why they would just stop working all of a sudden? I mean I've been using them like that for months
[21:50] <da91> ive spent around 5 days getting it to work but they dont
[21:50] <leato> da91: i'd research on that first
[21:51] <gnomefreak> wiseman: that path should exist use locate <exact path name incuding caps if caps are shown)
[21:51] <SymbianDJ> serwou: rescue mode from GRUB
[21:51] <Choicefresh> rohan: any idea why i can't run paint mono?
[21:51] <da91> so i downloaded the old one i had, is there any way to do it?
[21:51] <serwou> ok, thanks SymbianDJ
[21:51] <Mr_Cool59> can some one tell me why i am unable to apply themse with ubuntu 8.04
[21:51] <leato> da91: :(.. then google sth like: ubuntu upgrade from X to Y
[21:51] <gnomefreak> this cant be good :(
[21:51] <rohan> Choicefresh: hang on
[21:51] <da91> thanks leato
[21:51] <EvilDennisR> Mr_Cool59: What theme are you trying to install? Do you have a link for said theme?
[21:51] <SymbianDJ> serwou: it might disable fglrx for now. but then you would be able to just download it again.. the restore will use MESA
[21:52] <gnomefreak> wiseman: give me a few minutes it looks like OO.o just broke alot of updates here
[21:52] <leato> da91: hope it works for ya
[21:52] <serwou> cool SymbianDJ : I didn't know about that
[21:52] <Trae> Anyone know of any hardware that does what Synergy does?  (technical issues why Synergy isn't working just right)
[21:52] <SymbianDJ> serwou: i have the same problems with my ATI
[21:52] <Mr_Cool59> these themes are local, it just wont let me apply them
[21:52] <wiseman> gnomefreak: the directory doesn't exist, unless theres supposed to be something in front of that DOCS bit
[21:52] <stu> anyone managed to get freenx working on hardy ???
[21:52] <rohan> Choicefresh: sorry, no.
[21:53] <rohan> Choicefresh: what package did paint-mono need?
[21:53] <slayton> Trae, are you talking about a KVM>
[21:53] <slayton> ?
[21:53] <Trae> slayton, sort of...
[21:53] <Choicefresh> rohan: mono-tools-locales
[21:53] <bigdman> yo scriblej
[21:53] <serwou> Well SymbianDJ : I suspect the ATI driver to crash my computer (recent toshiba satellite A210 laptop) Anyone heard about that before ?
[21:54] <Trae> slayton, synergy is a software kvm of sorts.  I'd like to get something that works just like Synergy does (just move mouse across to side to switch desktops -- instead of pressing button like traditional kvm)
[21:54] <slayton> Trae- I use synergy
[21:54] <leato> maynard: ln -s PATH_TO_APP /home/USER/Desktop/LINK_NAME
[21:54] <NET||abuse> Hi guys, quick question on using tar with the -X switch, i do "tar zcfX backup.tar.gz excludes.txt ./web/project" but i want to exclude files by extension such as flv, mp3, mpeg, mp3 and a few others, I'm not sure how to corectly write the excludes.txt file to do this
[21:54] <Trae> slayton, hop in #synergy for a sec if you don't mind
[21:54] <SymbianDJ> serwou: fglx has been working fine once configured correctly for me.. i got an older fujitsu with ATI 9700
[21:54] <serwou> ok
[21:54] <NET||abuse> the problem being that i do want to backup the /project/flvs/ directory and the xml files it contains, but not the flv files themselves?
[21:54] <serwou> so, BRB, thanks the help, gonna try to rescue mode
[21:55] <slayton> bogey- so I loged out and loged back in and I still have the problem
[21:55] <maynard> leato: but i don't know the path
[21:55] <serwou> CU the chan
[21:55] <NET||abuse> Does anyone have a clue how to write the exclude pattern file to do this?
[21:55] <gnomefreak> wiseman: not that im aware of maybe it will make it once you compile it with the --enable-debug but you dont want to do that if you can avoid it. Please file a bug report at bugs.launchpad.net on Mplayer with the errors you get and version of mplayer version of ubuntu and what arch you are using by giving the output of uname -a onto the bug report. this way the people that need to look at it will be subscribed and more helpful with more info
[21:55] <gnomefreak> give
[21:56] <leato> maynard: U could search for the package name on synaptic and see it's properties.. will tell you where all it's files are.. just look for the line that says sth like /usr/bin/APPNAME, that has to be its path
[21:56] <rohan> Choicefresh: i think some other ppa repo might provide it
[21:56] <maynard> leato: ok... thanks again
[21:56] <leato> maynard: if you can just run the app from a terminal.. that IS its path.. that's for sure
[21:56] <leato> maynard: np
[21:57] <redxcf> can we put virtuall ram in ubuntu 8.04 lts?
[21:57] <Choicefresh> rohan: like what
[21:57] <rohan> Choicefresh: hang on for a bit
[21:57] <Ward1983> how can i restart alsa?
[21:57] <Ward1983> i dont have sound in firefox...
[21:57] <hahafaha> Hi there. I have a strange problem with gdm. When logging in, no matter how correct my username/password is, it will restart X and show me the prompt again. After that, it behaves normally, logging in if I type in the information correctly, and otherwise saying "Wrong password, please try again".
[21:57] <ventusignis> Is there a way to use .ISO's if one does not have any extra writable CD's left?
[21:57] <jrib> !iso | ventusignis
[21:57] <Ward1983> ventusignis, you could mount them :)
[21:58] <SymbianDJ> this might sound stupid, but I'm unable to find any option to disable irc notifications about who quite the room and who joined.. on the channel I'm sure mIRC had it..
[21:58] <matsdb> !xmms
[21:58] <rohan_> 02:28 < rohan> Choicefresh: tell it to install ignoring dependencies.
[21:58] <matsdb> xmms <3
[21:58] <Ward1983> no flash sound - any known issues?
[21:58]  * ventusignis didn't know that it was possible to mount images.
[21:59] <TuniX12> Ward1983: are you playing something else?
[21:59] <DrX> GNOME seems to be automounting volumes not in fstab -- how can I stop this behavior?
[21:59] <rohan> Choicefresh: that's particularly risky, but i think it should work
[21:59] <Ward1983> TuniX12, nope not that im aware of at least
[22:00] <SymbianDJ> this might sound stupid, but I'm unable to find any option to disable irc notifications about who quite the room and who joined.. on the channel I'm sure mIRC had it..
[22:00] <matsdb> how to totally remove totem?
[22:00] <rohan> Choicefresh: are you around?
[22:00] <orudie> for some reason after restart ubuntu 8.04 server mysql server fails to start
[22:00] <SymbianDJ> using pidgin
[22:00] <leato> DrX: how are you sure about that?
[22:01] <EvilDennisR> DrX: what is it mounting
[22:01] <EvilDennisR> if you say removable devices you get a -- in karma
[22:01] <slayton> bogey- you still here?
[22:01] <TuniX12> Ward1983: and the sound works under another mutlimedia client?
[22:02] <al__> *ever since i installed 8.04, my desktop doesn't show any icons, and i can't right click on it
[22:02] <orudie> anyone ?
[22:02] <orudie> for some reason after restart ubuntu 8.04 server mysql server fails to start
[22:02] <leato> DrX: there's no other way but fstab that can mount devs on boot (that i know of)
[22:02] <Ward1983> TuniX12, yes totem for instance works fine
[22:02] <bogey-> slayton: yeah but im at work so im in and out, did that not work?
[22:02] <al__> only the first user logged on the computer has it :/
[22:02] <al__> any ideas ?
[22:02] <EvilDennisR> orudie: Check /var/logs for more info
[22:02] <EvilDennisR> s/logs/log\//
[22:02] <orudie> EvilDennisR those are empty
[22:02] <EvilDennisR> orudie: no they're not
[22:02] <EvilDennisR> orudie: Look harder
[22:02] <SymbianDJ> HELP with with fglrx - two Xorg processes running - one dependant on the other
[22:03] <Aw0L> does ubuntu need a separate boot partition?
[22:03] <bogey-> !leytouch | slayton
[22:03] <bogey-> !keytouch | slayton
[22:03] <TuniX12> Ward1983: totem uses ALSA server but flash uses OSS so you should close other multimedia client before playng flash
[22:03] <serwou> SymbianDJ: THANKS : xorg fixed from the rescue mode
[22:03] <jpw27_> is there any easy way to undo upgrades?  because I just upgraded some packages and it majorly broke some things
[22:03] <SymbianDJ> Aw0L: no it doesn't it can be installed onto the vista drive
[22:03] <Ward1983> TuniX12, OSS doesnt work here :(
[22:03] <Ward1983> TuniX12, i duno why, i use optical SPDIF and it seems to be hard to setup for me
[22:04] <slayton> bogey- it worked, but I ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg it screwed up my video card so I restored my xorg.conf and then reset the settings like you said in keyboard and it didn't work
[22:04] <Ward1983> in OSS
[22:04] <SymbianDJ> serwou: great.. but i think you would be using MESA - so no 3D for compiz incase u use it
[22:04] <Aw0L> SymbianDJ, vista drive? so...for a manual partition all I need is a root partition and a swap correct?
[22:04] <TuniX12> Ward1983: cause oss cant access the sound device
[22:04] <EvilDennisR> Aw0L: correct
[22:04] <Ward1983> TuniX12, how can i solve that?
[22:04] <SymbianDJ> Aw0L: i don't know how the vista thing works .  havent tried it myself but if otherwise yes
[22:04] <orudie> EvilDennisR i'm in /var/log/ which file should i check ?
[22:05] <Aw0L> EvilDennisR, Thanks
[22:05] <serwou> SymbianDJ: you are right, this allow me to see if the laptop is still unstable without ATI driver
[22:05] <EvilDennisR> Aw0L: If you're installing ubuntu onto a drive that already has an existing OS on it, you will need to resize said drive into two partitions
[22:05] <Ward1983> TuniX12, i meant OSS in general doesnt work here
[22:05] <EvilDennisR> orudie: grep mysql /var/log/*
[22:05] <wiseman> ok I reinstalled mplayer and cheese as well as redownloaded the restricted formats dealy and a few other things.  cheese seems to be playing nice now, but I'm getting no sound in my videos.  any ideas?
[22:05] <TuniX12> Ward1983: go to sound manager and choose alsa with oss emulation or something like this i'm not under ubuntu now
[22:05] <Aw0L> EvilDennisR, thanks - just want to make sure I don't need a separate boot - I'll install other OS's later
[22:06] <orudie> EvilDennisR that pruduced a lot of output, not sure what to look at
[22:06] <SymbianDJ> EvilDennisR: do you really need to create another partition ? cause HArdy has an option to install itslef even when you are using vista
[22:06] <wiseman> Tested with sound recorder, That doesn't record any sound either.
[22:06] <EvilDennisR> SymbianDJ: Yes, that resizes the existing partition and creats another
[22:07] <EvilDennisR> orudie: Check dmesg and syslog then
[22:07] <lufis> Has anyone had any luck with moto4lin on ubuntu with new motorola razrs?
[22:07] <EvilDennisR> orudie: and make sure mysql-server is in rc2.d `ls /etc/rc2.d|grep -i mysql`
[22:07] <Aw0L> and...not everyone uses vista....
[22:07] <Ward1983> TuniX12, i can only select real OSS and now OSS seems to work with totem, not with flash
[22:07] <SymbianDJ> EvilDennisR: I was thinking it is actually possible to run it on Vista using some virtual machine..
[22:07] <jpw27_> is there any easy way to batch undo upgrades?  because I just upgraded some packages and it majorly broke some things
[22:08] <jedimind> does anyone here run ubuntu on a dell xps 1530 series laptop ?
[22:08] <EvilDennisR> SymbianDJ: a virtual machine is a virtual machine, regardless of what the virtual machine is running on
[22:08] <Aw0L> EvilDennisR, perhaps you know - when you set a root password, I believe there's a file to edit so that gui stuff requiring admin privileges requires root pw instead of user...?
[22:08] <enaner> how do i hookup my blackberry with my ubuntu??
[22:09] <SymbianDJ> serwou: you still have to install fglx right ?
[22:09] <EvilDennisR> Aw0L: I think it uses gksu instead of gksudo.. I'm not sure how to change the default to use gksu (which requires a root passwd)
[22:09] <TuniX12> Ward1983: do u use hardy?
[22:09] <Jared555> hey, is it better to go with the i386 or amd64 release on newer hardware? (last time I tried 64 it was a complete pain to use)
[22:09] <geekytechguy> hey guys, i just installed kibadock, but when i start it, it doesn't show up
[22:09] <Aw0L> EvilDennisR, okay, I'll do some hunting when I come to that point then - thanks
[22:09] <serwou> yes SymbianDJ , I will do it later, in a week or 2. I suspect the ATI driver to freeze my PC time to time
[22:09] <geekytechguy> any thoughts?
[22:09] <porpoise> My system randomly "hangs" but the mouse pointer continues to work - how do I start with trying to diagnose this?
[22:10] <wiseman> bbl
[22:10] <EvilDennisR> Aw0L: run gksu-properties
[22:10] <EvilDennisR> Aw0L: (I just remembered =)
[22:10] <TuniX12> Ward1983: i still think that oss cant access the sound device can u reboot
[22:10] <orudie> EvilDennisR http://paste.ubuntu.com/20711/
[22:10] <EvilDennisR> Aw0L: authentication mode should be set to su
[22:10] <slayton> bogey- so I ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and it works again, only I can't enable desktop effects (even to normal) I have the nvidia quadro 140 in my laptop.  I really don't want all the crazy compiz stuff just the normal effects....
[22:10] <slayton> bogey- so I'm a little confused about what is going on...
[22:10] <Ward1983> TuniX12, well ubuntu crashes on me several times a day so im getting used to rebooting anyway
[22:11] <Aw0L> EvilDennisR, actually I was asking for kde :) I did it once before by editing a file, but can't recall what it was
[22:11] <EvilDennisR> orudie: mysql fails to start every time you reboot
[22:11] <Ward1983> TuniX12, thanx for the help anyway,, i hope its fixed after a reboot
[22:11] <EvilDennisR> Aw0L: I have no idea then. I don't use kde, its icky..
[22:11] <Aw0L> something ksudo something probably
[22:11] <EvilDennisR> yeah
[22:11] <DrX> How do you stop Gnome from automounting internal drive partitions but still automount external USB drives?
[22:11] <EvilDennisR> sounds kdeish
[22:11] <TuniX12> Ward1983: you should know why it crashes check the system logs
[22:11] <Ward1983> TuniX12, it crashes for no apperant reason
[22:11] <Aw0L> thanks anyway!
[22:11] <EvilDennisR> DrX: whats in /etc/fstab
[22:11] <Ward1983> TuniX12, its just ubuntu
[22:12] <EvilDennisR> DrX: I believe gnome just displays what is actually mounted
[22:12] <EvilDennisR> but I'm not certain..
[22:12] <Ward1983> TuniX12, (which is why i switch to debian as soon as i have the time to format)
[22:12] <TuniX12> Ward1983: check the logs to see what's the problem
[22:12] <Ward1983> TuniX12, brb ill reboot first
[22:12] <TuniX12> Ward1983: ok
[22:12] <Ward1983> TuniX12, erm its happening right now lol
[22:12] <orudie> EvilDennisR im checking the things you told me not sure what to look for
[22:13] <Ward1983> TuniX12, i cant even click the reboot / shutdown button in the upper right corner lol
[22:13] <EvilDennisR> orudie: mysql fails to start every time you reboot
[22:13] <Next1_> The new updates broke my virtualBox how can I fix it?
[22:13] <Ward1983> i can access a terminal still though
[22:13] <EvilDennisR> ?
[22:13] <Ward1983> TuniX12, well what should i do? gnome appears to be crashing
[22:13] <orudie> EvilDennisR yeah, this wasnt like that before
[22:13] <Ward1983> TuniX12, and i can still access a terminal and irc
[22:13] <TuniX12> Ward1983: reload x server alt-ctl-backspace
[22:13] <Ward1983> (allready had the terminal open)
[22:13] <slayton> OK I think i've figured out a little more about what is going on... when I disable desktop effects my control key starts working but when I have them set to normal my control key stops working....
[22:13] <orudie> EvilDennisR not sure what i did to make it stop working
[22:13] <Ward1983> TuniX12, wont work, tried that before
[22:13] <ajhtiredwolf> anyone know how to setup an ftp using gproftpd?
[22:14] <orudie> EvilDennisR dont actaully remmember changing anything , it just stopped working
[22:14] <TuniX12> Ward1983: you have a serious problem out there!!
[22:14] <Ward1983> TuniX12, duh
[22:14] <Ward1983> lol
[22:14] <Ward1983> TuniX12, but up till now nobody was able to help me resolve it
[22:15] <bloodrock> Ward1983, did the crashing start after you added a program?
[22:15] <TuniX12> killall in terminal
[22:15] <Ward1983> bloodrock, no lol, i would have noticed
[22:15] <EvilDennisR> orudie: try looking in syslog message or dmesg in /var/log/
[22:15] <Ward1983> TuniX12, ok
[22:15] <EvilDennisR> orudie: I have no idea why its doing it. We're trying to determine what the output is when its starting up
[22:16] <Ward1983> TuniX12, terminqls qre dead now
[22:16] <Ward1983> TuniX12, they dont react to my typing, no text appears
[22:16] <outfile> test
[22:16] <Ward1983> TuniX12, xchat is all thats left now :D
[22:16] <TuniX12> Ward1983: you have this problem usually?
[22:16] <mib_l3zpxe> Hi there, I quite a noob to Linux. I'm running Live CD 7.10 Ubuntu. I'm trying to get to work my Maxtor External network drive. From "Places -> Browse network" I couldn't find it.
[22:16] <Ward1983> TuniX12, yep quite a lot, my system is not to be trusted anymore since it started
[22:16] <TuniX12> Ward1983: you have this problem usually?
[22:16] <Ward1983> TuniX12, which is EXTREMELY frustrating btw
[22:17] <orudie> EvilDennisR which output do you want me to show you ?
[22:17] <frogmeat> hi all
[22:17] <EvilDennisR> mib_l3zpxe: I'm guessing the network drive serves its files via samba ?
[22:17] <EvilDennisR> !samba
[22:17] <EvilDennisR> orudie: search for mysql in those files I suggested
[22:17] <Ward1983> TuniX12, yep quite a lot, my system is not to be trusted anymore since it started
[22:17] <Ward1983> TuniX12, which is EXTREMELY frustrating btw
[22:17] <EvilDennisR> orudie: See if theres any error messages or anything
[22:17] <TuniX12> Ward1983: can u describe your hardware? mother card chipset CPU it seems like hardware issue
[22:18] <adude> can resizing partitions mess up programs?
[22:18] <TimMatrix> anyone know how to stop someone pinging my Ubuntu 8.04?
[22:18] <Ward1983> TuniX12, erm it has allways worked perfect before so hardware would be weird
[22:18] <EvilDennisR> mib_l3zpxe: Try installing samba support and see if you can browse that drive then
[22:18] <DrX> EvilDennisR: the automounted partitions are NOT in fstab
[22:18] <Next1_> The new update broke my virtualBox. VBirtualBox says I don't have VirtualBox kernel module installed. how can I fix it?
[22:18] <TuniX12> Ward1983: sure you have VIA??
[22:18] <porpoise> Which log files should I look at to find out why my system periodically freezes, but the mouse pointer continues to work?
[22:18] <frogmeat> I need to start a program and have it so it does not access my sound card (it's a game that seems to act poorly with my mplayer even when I turn it's sound turned off ingame setting)  Do I just add -nosound to the launcher?
[22:18] <mib_l3zpxe> right... this is getting quite a bit over my head... worked like a charm with either windows or mac...
[22:18] <Ward1983> TuniX12, a coreduo on a asus pb deluxe, 4x1GB DDR2, ...
[22:18] <EvilDennisR> DrX: So what are these other partitions? Like another os or something ?
[22:19] <Ward1983> TuniX12, no its a intel chipset
[22:19] <EvilDennisR> DrX: Did you try selecting them right click -> unmount ?
[22:19] <jokoon> Hello, it seems firefox doesn't know to open files with the correct program, (I switched from gnome to xfce), even 'open containing folder pops up a window asking what program to use ... what can I do ?
[22:19] <joaopinto> frogmeat, only if the game binary supports such option...
[22:19] <ramboza> has anybody solved the firestarter's GUI issue? How to run it without a password promt? adding it to the sudoers won't work
[22:19] <TuniX12> Ward1983: very strange
[22:19] <rohan> ubuntu and debian popcon are separate? ubuntu popcon doesn't contribute/report to debian anymore?
[22:19] <Ward1983> TuniX12, indeed
[22:19] <frogmeat> joaopinto: I run it through WINE
[22:19] <EvilDennisR> jokoon: specify what program you want it to use, then check remember this
[22:19] <TuniX12> Ward1983: but i still supect your hardware
[22:20] <TimMatrix> does anyone know anything about iptables?
[22:20] <Ward1983> TuniX12, well gonna HAVE to reboot now onyl xchat works
[22:20] <Ward1983> TuniX12, its not my hardware windows runs poerfectly fine
[22:20] <askand> Hello, now I really need som help with my LoadCycle issue :( I have a value higher than 1000000 and it keeps getting higher every second.... sudo hdparm -B 254 wont simply work :(
[22:20] <TuniX12> Ward1983: linux is not hardware tolerant as Windows
[22:20] <jokoon> EvilDennisR yes but also the application manager in firefox have any entry in it, its painful to set all file type...
[22:20] <frogmeat> joaopinto: the two programs are obviously trying to access the soundcard and conflicting, I kinda know what is wrong, but I do not know how to fix it, any ideas?
[22:20] <Ward1983> TuniX12, still it has allways worked fine, my hardware is fine lol
[22:21] <Ward1983> TuniX12, brb
[22:21] <Gun_Smoke> ramboza, iptables are a root process right?
[22:21] <adude> how do i completely remove a program?
[22:21] <joaopinto> frogmeat, that is a very common issue reported on hardy... :(
[22:21] <ramboza> Gun_Smoke, yep
[22:21] <TuniX12> Ward1983: ok
[22:21] <EvilDennisR> jokoon: hmm, not sure.. You could move/nuke your .mozilla/firefox/${profile}/ directory, and see if firefox fixes itself with apps when its restarted
[22:21] <orudie> EvilDennisR is there a way to search text in those files containing mysql , like a command ?
[22:21] <joaopinto> adude, depends on how you have it installed, if it was from the Add/remove, just go to there and remove
[22:21] <EvilDennisR> jokoon: Is this firefox from a package, or firefox you downloaded from mozilla.org ?
[22:21] <Ward1983> TuniX12, omfg lol it doesnt even respond to the power button anymore... gonna have to hold it...
[22:21] <Gun_Smoke> ramboza, And firestarter is just a GUI front end for iptables right?
[22:21] <DrX> EvilDennisR: one is NTFS for another OS, the other is ext3 but I don't want it automounting
[22:21] <EvilDennisR> orudie: grep mysql filename
[22:21] <EvilDennisR> orudie: or grep -i (ignore case)
[22:21] <Ward1983> TuniX12, cant even properly shutdown my damn system :(
[22:22] <jokoon> EvilDennisR from the synaptic, I tried reinstall too
[22:22] <frogmeat> joaopinto: I think i am using 8.something now
[22:22] <TimMatrix>
[22:22] <slayton> I don't know what happend. I think I'm just going to do a clean reinstall
[22:22]  * Ward1983 resets
[22:22] <EvilDennisR> DrX: I'm not sure man..
[22:22] <TuniX12> Ward1983: even power off does not respond?
[22:22] <frogmeat> joaopinto: do you know of a way to fix i t?
[22:22] <TimMatrix> ramboza: Tried Firestarter but it crashed
[22:22] <EvilDennisR> DrX: google ?
[22:23] <TuniX12> timmatrix you use hardy?
[22:23] <ramboza> Gun_Smoke, definitely
[22:23] <TimMatrix> Gun_Smoke: you have problem with Firestarter?
[22:23] <TimMatrix> TuniX12: yes, Ubuntu 8.04
[22:23] <Gun_Smoke> TimMatrix, No,
[22:23] <ramboza> TimMatrix, i have :)
[22:23] <Gun_Smoke> ramboza, So you would have to enter pwd to launch it.
[22:24] <Gun_Smoke> errrr edit settings.
[22:24] <TuniX12> TimMatrix: there is ufw and it GUI gufw
[22:24] <malkav> by the way, nvidia has caused so many problems with various linux distributions, #nvidia is now dedicated to nvidia linux issues
[22:24] <TimMatrix> TuniX12: ufw? gufw?  Are these programs I should load from Synaptic?
[22:24] <ramboza> Gun_Smoke, no chance avoiding?
[22:25] <Gun_Smoke> ramboza, No, and you only need to run it once.. Just because you don't see the icon in the tray doesn't mean it's not working.. It should start at boot.
[22:25] <TuniX12> TimMatrix: ufw is included by default and then you can intall it's GUI
[22:25] <adude> when i try to save a picture in gimp it crashes gimp.
[22:25] <TuniX12> TimMatrix:  take a look  http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/06/introducing-gufw-uncomplicated-firewall.html
[22:26] <EvilDennisR> adude: #gimp
[22:26] <TimMatrix> TuniX12: ah, just looked it up and yes it's default (ufw), but the gufw isn't.
[22:26] <TimMatrix> TuniX12: Could not find it on Synaptic?
[22:26] <ramboza> Gun_Smoke, it is. But i'd like to monitor network activities all the time...
[22:26] <HardDisk> adude, run gimp in terminal and do the same procedure, look at the error message that comes up
[22:26] <TuniX12> TimMatrix:  take a look  http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/06/introducing-gufw-uncomplicated-firewall.html
[22:27] <uzair> hi all, needed some help with file recovery from a linux box. i wanted make an image of the drive first (so that if i mess something up, i have a backup), but the only issue i'm running into is that some imaging tools will ignore blank spaces. now i'm trying to do file recovery, so i'll need that particular space wouldn't i?
[22:27] <TuniX12> TimMatrix:  the GUI is a seprate project
[22:27] <HardDisk> adude, also rm your .gimp-2.2 or .gimp-2.4 and try again
[22:27] <joaopinto> uzair, use partimage, it is a good imaging app
[22:27] <EvilDennisR> uzair: man dd
[22:28] <EvilDennisR> uzair: dd is the program you'd want to use for that
[22:28] <EvilDennisR> uzair: Just make sure you're not trying to dd an image of a drive onto the same drive
[22:28] <orudie> EvilDennisR mysql.err and mysql.log are empty
[22:28] <joaopinto> erm, dd will write unused space, which will just waste your backup space and take much longer
[22:28] <orudie> EvilDennisR dmesg contains on mysql or MySQL text
[22:28] <adude> here is the error it gave   http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/20715/
[22:29] <joaopinto> partimage is much smarter, also supports several options like volumes spanning and compression
[22:29] <EvilDennisR> adude: is it leaving a core file ?
[22:29] <TimMatrix> TuniX12: thanks. Loaded Gufw
[22:29] <zloog> Hey Ubuntu users!
[22:29] <EvilDennisR> !hi | zloog
[22:29] <TuniX12> TimMatrix:  http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/search/label/Firewall
[22:29] <TimMatrix> TuniX12: now trying to figure out what to do with these features
[22:30] <EvilDennisR> orudie: Is mysql checked if you look in system -> administration -> services ?
[22:30] <TuniX12> TimMatrix:  its very simple indeed
[22:30] <adude> EvilDennisR: what exactly do you mean by a core file.
[22:30] <threexk> Is it normal for something to disappear completely when you put it in Trash?
[22:30] <EvilDennisR> adude: When a program crashes it will leave debug and crash information in a file called `core'
[22:30] <elmer> Has anybody been able to transfer videos to a Zen Vision: M in Ubuntu?
[22:31] <EvilDennisR> adude: Is there a core file in the directory you ran gimp in ?
[22:31] <TuniX12> and for security check this  http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/search/label/Privacy%20And%20Security
[22:31] <Datz> Hi, "mount.ntfs-3g" is using alot of cpu...100% between the two that are running simultaneously.  Is somthing wrong?
[22:32] <danfg> what do i install to have the GET command available?
[22:32] <TimMatrix> TuniX12: okay, got that up and running.  so how do I stop remote computers pinging me?
[22:32] <Datz> danfg, ssh I believe
[22:32] <jrib> danfg: libwww-perl  you can use packages.ubuntu.com to figure that out
[22:32] <InvalidEncoding> Whenever I try to save a file with a japanese filename(for example from firefox) it says "Invalid Encoding" if it's an ext3 partition and it gives me an error if it's on an ntfs partition
[22:33] <leito__> quit
[22:33] <thoeger> Goodmorning - I was wondering if there is a Linux game around similar to Aargon Deluxe?
[22:33] <elmer> Has anybody been able to transfer videos to a Zen Vision: M in Ubuntu?
[22:33] <TuniX12> TimMatrix:  i'm not under Ubuntu but there is an option for stealth mode
[22:33] <Datz> Hi, "mount.ntfs-3g" (process)  is using alot of cpu...100% between the two that are running simultaneously.  Is somthing wrong?
[22:33] <threexk> when I move things to Trash they are deleted.  Does anyone know why this might happen?
[22:34] <TuniX12> TimMatrix:  and check this  too http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/search/label/Privacy%20And%20Security
[22:34] <EvilDennisR> threexk: check your preferences in nautilus
[22:35] <adude> OK gimp works when i start up in a command line from the home directory
[22:35] <threexk> EvilDennisR: I did.  "Include a Delete command that bypasses Trash" is unchecked, and "Ask before emptying the Trash or deleting files" is checked
[22:35] <threexk> EvilDennisR: actually I see all my files in ~/.Trash.. I just don't see them in Nautilus when I browse Trash
[22:36] <TimMatrix> TuniX12: Hey, thanks for the cool website, Ubuntu Unleashed.  That's interesting stuff in there.  Have bookmarked it. :)
[22:36] <EvilDennisR> threexk: Are you sure its deleting them or moving them to ~/.Trash/ ?
[22:36] <elmer> Has anybody been able to transfer videos to a Zen Vision: M in Ubuntu?
[22:36] <Some_Person> How do I reconfigure GRUB? When I boot, I get a grub prompt, but I can boot by using commands.
[22:36] <EvilDennisR> threexk: Well if they're in .Trash/ then its working correctly =)
[22:36] <Some_Person> The problem is the root partition used to be sda6 and now its sda5
[22:36] <maconga> i know this is totally non ubuntu,but has anyone lost msn ???
[22:36] <threexk> EvilDennisR: It seems to be moving them to .Trash, so not deleting them.  But I should be able to see the files in Nautilus though, no?
[22:36] <TuniX12> yes http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com is an awesome site
[22:36] <thoeger> Is there a  Linux game around similar to Aargon Deluxe?
[22:37] <EvilDennisR> threexk: Yes?

[22:41] <uzair> joaopinto: so i can't image the hdd (w/ the deleted files) and mount it in linux and try to run file recovery from there? i _have_ to restore it?
[22:41] <starcraftian> EvilDennisR: yes
[22:41] <threexk> it's like Nautilus can't see .Trash
[22:42] <c_lisp> threexk you can also right click and add a trashcan to panel
[22:42] <c_lisp> becauses .Trash is invisble
[22:42] <threexk> OK, let me try re-adding the trash can

[22:42] <uzair> ntfs
[22:43] <joaopinto> uzair, ok, I didn't understood your original problem, on your case you are better server with dd and a same size disk
[22:43] <joaopinto> served
[22:43] <threexk> jrib: 7.10
[22:43] <uzair> hmm
[22:43] <joaopinto> because you want a raw copy of the disk
[22:43] <EvilDennisR> joaopinto: Thats what I already suggested
[22:43] <uzair> joaopinto: is there a way to save the image on a remote disk?
[22:43] <joaopinto> EvilDennisR, sorry, I didn't understood the issue from the beginning

[22:53] <zloog> !hi | teamz
[22:53] <teamz> does ubuntu have remote desktop by default ?
[22:53] <VilasBoas> EvilDennisR: no that user needs to change the date so that that the billing software gives the date that he whantś to the billing document
[22:53] <teamz> I've rented a seedbox with ubuntu but I can only access it thru ssh atm :(
[22:53] <joaopinto> VilasBoas, that is usually illegal, data tampering :P
[22:53] <joaopinto> teamz, and isn't that enough ?
[22:54] <EvilDennisR> VilasBoas: Yeah
[22:54] <brandon|work> teams, sudo apt-get install x11vnc is what I use
[22:54] <brandon|work> no one uses an IR remote in here?
[22:54] <Az> teamz - has vnc server by default and vnc & rdp clients
[22:54] <teamz> so if I install ubuntu locally I should be able to access the box easily ?
[22:54] <TuniX12> VilasBoas: simply delete the config file
[22:54] <VilasBoas> joaopinto: no that is not iligal
[22:54] <pacaj2am> http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/amr
[22:54] <zloog> teamz: you can also try something like ssh -X user@ip xterm to launch programs
[22:54] <Cyndrework> okay, am I the only one thats getting a login error when I try and goto http://hotmail.com with firefox?  Works fine in ie 6
[22:54] <joaopinto> teamz, erm, ssh is all you need for a server

[22:55] <orudie> i've been on this problem for the second day now, cant get mysql server to start
[22:55] <orudie> can anyone help ?
[22:55] <pacaj2am> i have one simple question, how can i update ubuntu machine, which isn't connected to internet?
[22:55] <Some_Person> Now I'm having smegging uspash problems, its there for a little while, then disappears, and the text appears instead
[22:55] <pacaj2am> i nedd newer kernel
[22:55] <VilasBoas> Tunix12: why should i delete the conf file??
[22:55] <Cyndrework> EvilDennisR: Not asking for a sake of free email - just curious
[22:55] <joaopinto> orudie, have you checked the mysql logs ?
[22:56] <TuniX12> VilasBoas:  to reset the software
[22:56] <orudie> joaopinto they are empty
[22:56] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: Yeah, you gotta tell grub to use the splash
[22:56] <Some_Person> well it does use it
[22:56] <TuniX12> VilasBoas:  search in home directory its a hideen file
[22:56] <Some_Person> but then it goes away and the text appears
[22:56] <Starnestommy> orudie: try running sudo mysqld
[22:56] <teamz> joaopinto, ie: I have installed deluge-torrent but I want to access it thru the web. Is it possible to enable this thru ssh ???
[22:56] <joaopinto> orudie, please check /var/log/daemon.log
[22:57] <TuniX12> VilasBoas:  this tip work for me :D
[22:57] <teamz> because I need to activate the webui plugin but with command line I don't even know if I can do that
[22:57] <joaopinto> teamz, I am not sure deluge provides a web interface
[22:57] <TheOther_> Hi, how do I get LUKS with cryptsetup to read a keyfile on boot?  I've seen use of a boot parameter which can specify the path from a specific device and even sector, but it doesn't do anything
[22:57] <joaopinto> if it does, yes its possible, if it does not, it is not
[22:57] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: apt-get install startupmanager
[22:57] <BobSapp> !java

[22:57] <visik7> anyone using epiphany ?
[22:57] <DrX> How do you unfreeze a GUI that halts on gray or black screen w/o desktop at startup?
[22:57] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: its already smegging checked!
[22:58] <orudie> Starnestommy didnt work
[22:58] <Az> teamz, you can vnc into your current session using the bundled vnc server and client
[22:58] <TuniX12> VilasBoas: change it yourself since it affect the whole system not the user's space
[22:58] <teamz> joaopinto, then if I can't have remote desktop there must be a config file todo this right ?
[22:58] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: uncheck it, exit, reload, check it, see if that fixes it =)
[22:58] <DrX> (the pointer moves but there's nothing else)
[22:58] <Starnestommy> orudie: did it give you any errors?
[22:58] <teamz> Az, any idea if I can use VNC from windows to ubuntu ?
[22:58] <andresj> hello. is there a way to redirect all requests to a specific address to another one? My problem is that I constantly set up domains that point to my public ip, which from my computer shows my router configuration page, but from outside shows my own computer.
[22:58] <TheOther_> anybody have any experience w/ cryptsetup luks??
[22:59] <Az> yes very easily, but i would only use this as the beginning step
[22:59] <teamz> because it is not safe ?
[22:59] <orudie> joaopinto http://paste.ubuntu.com/20719/
[22:59] <Az> unencrypted vnc connection
[22:59] <alan_m> !who

[23:00] <TheOther_> where can I find a more specific room on security?
[23:00] <joaopinto> orudie, it seems your db is corrupted
[23:00] <Starnestommy> TheOther_: maybe ##security
[23:01] <Abatrour> if i install the kdesktop environment in ubuntu, would i get the latest one, plasma or whatever its called?
[23:01] <TheOther_> ok, dumb question thanks
[23:01] <orudie> joaopinto you gotta be kidding me what do you mean i havent done anything
[23:03] <Mr_Bad_News> there is no help file on how to convert .3gp

[23:03] <TuniX12> Mr_Bad_News: maybe mencoder
[23:03] <orudie> anyone ?
[23:03] <Mr_Bad_News> i couldnt find anything tuna
[23:03] <Mr_Bad_News> TuniX12
[23:04] <|ns|nR8> yes rogue780
[23:04] <rogue780> |ns|nR8, do you know of a walkthrough that could help me?
[23:05] <|ns|nR8> you dont need a walk thru
[23:05] <|ns|nR8> have you installed the program ?
[23:06] <|ns|nR8> after you install it...you must install the appropriate kernel module
[23:06] <TuniX12> Mr_Bad_News:  check this site http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/search/label/Video%20Editing
[23:06] <|ns|nR8> what kernel version you using ?
[23:06] <joaopinto> Mr_Bad_News, .3gp is not supported because it requires a codec which is illegal in some countries, so it is disabled on most ubuntu utilities
[23:06] <joaopinto> Mr_Bad_News, well, check medibuntu, I am not sure they provide alternative packages with such support enabled
[23:07] <chuy_max> Mr_Bad_News, did you try ffmpeg?
[23:07] <TuniX12> joaopinto: stop talking about illegal  we are not americans and its very legal outside the USA
[23:07] <Mr_Bad_News> yes
[23:07] <Abatrour> Mr_Bad_News, I think VLC plays 3gp
[23:07] <TuniX12> Mr_Bad_News:  check this site http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/search/label/Video%20Editing
[23:07] <Mr_Bad_News> i dont need to play it
[23:07] <Mr_Bad_News> i need to upload it
[23:07] <Abatrour> Mr_Bad_News, it plays them for me anyways in windows, havn't tried ubuntu yet
[23:07] <Agu10> How can i configure my 2 screens?
[23:07] <Abatrour> oh
[23:08] <chuy_max> Mr_Bad_News, and what happened?
[23:08] <Mr_Bad_News> not supported
[23:08] <TuniX12> Mr_Bad_News:  install the codecs first like in windwos :p
[23:08] <chuy_max> Mr_Bad_News, according to this website it is supported: http://www.ubuntu-es.org/index.php?q=node/17079 (its in spanish though)
[23:08] <kappaccino> my windows guest(virtualbox) doesn't seem to want to connect to \\vboxsvr\Desktop share... what is wrong? cmd prompt is returning "The network name cannot be found.?
[23:09] <Trae> When I run: strace synergys -c synergy.conf  I get this:  Process 23304 detached  I'm trying to see what happens when I do some stuff and need to be able to see the active strace
[23:09] <chuy_max> uh
[23:09] <l_r> hello
[23:10] <joaopinto> TuniX12, please don't be dumb, I said it was illegal in some countries, not everywhere, and for this case, those apps were built with it disabled, so it is irrelevant if  it is legal on your country or not
[23:10] <TuniX12> l_r: hello
[23:10] <Ramzi> have anyone tried to install ubuntu 8.04 on virtual pc?
[23:11] <TuniX12> joaopinto:  it's illegal in the USA only not in europe not in africa not in the entire world
[23:11] <l_r> i just notice my home dir permissions are r-x for others. is this normal with ubuntu-desktop? i created a second new user and i could see the files in the homedir of the first user
[23:11] <EvilDennisR> Ramzi: I installed a FAI'd machine on a virtual machine
[23:11] <EvilDennisR> Ramzi: So, yes, people have been able to do that
[23:11] <joaopinto> TuniX12, I am european, so I am completely aware of the problem, again please re-read my answer !!!
[23:11] <EvilDennisR> l_r: chmod 700 ~/
[23:11] <|ns|nR8> yes Ramzi
[23:12] <Ramzi> I've been having some problems
[23:12] <TuniX12> joaopinto:  and the FBI wont investigate if he use legal or illegal codecs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[23:12] <l_r> EvilDennisR, i know thanks. i only want to know if this is the default for ubuntu and why
[23:12] <Some_Person> I need help with grub/usplash. When I boot, I see usplash for a little while, but then it gets replaced with text.
[23:12] <EvilDennisR> l_r: no idea why its default..
[23:12] <Agu10> my 2 screens show the same thing. how can i configure it????????
[23:12] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: Didn't you use the startupmanager like I suggested ?
[23:12] <l_r> strange..
[23:12] <Starnestommy> TuniX12: it's still illegal
[23:12] <TheOther_> can anyone explain what is happening in this bootloader line?  Specifically I'm trying to figure out how to make luks access "cryptkey"
[23:12] <TheOther_> kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda3 ro vga=791 cryptkey=/dev/usbstick1:vfat:/secretkey
[23:13] <TuniX12> Starnestommy:  i use it
[23:13] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: didnt work
[23:13] <hwilde> is there a way to cancel a reboot request ?
[23:13] <joaopinto> TuniX12, this is not a legal advice channel, please keep on topic, I just wanted to inform that it is not support for legal reasons, the subject is over
[23:13] <Ramzi> im getting an error that says something like this: "An unrecoverable processor error has been encountered"
[23:13] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-18-generic root=UUID=94b1fbcd-df6d-4394-b1b8-03a5276b7f80 ro quiet splash
[23:13] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:14] <Agu10> :@
[23:14] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: the line is "kernel		/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda5 ro quiet splash"
[23:14] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: why doesn't it work
[23:14] <TuniX12> joaopinto:  thanks for your precious advice so people return back to windwos and install a'legal' codecs pack for free
[23:14] <joaopinto> !ot | TuniX12
[23:15] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: I dunno, wha'd you do!
[23:15] <orudie> i've been on this problem for the second day now, cant get mysql server to start
[23:15] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: i had major partition problems which i fixed
[23:15] <joaopinto> orudie, do you have backups for your database ?
[23:15] <orudie> joaopinto no
[23:15] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: everything is fine now, except for that smegging usplash
[23:16] <joaopinto> orudie, well, try to run mysqlcheck manually
[23:16] <majikman> i'm trying to get wireless working in ubuntu but i don't see the icons that i see on this site: http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html
[23:16] <majikman> can i get some help? i followed the steps exactly
[23:17] <joaopinto> if the corruption is severe you will not be able to recover your data
[23:17] <HardDisk> majikman, what chipset?
[23:17] <HardDisk> majikman, and does it work without wpa?
[23:17] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: any idea why usplash disappears and gets replaced by text?
[23:17] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: not sure man
[23:17] <majikman> i think its a broadcom
[23:17] <joaopinto> orudie, important data must be backed up frequently...
[23:18] <HardDisk> majikman, lscpi in terminal and identify your wifi
[23:18] <amedx> how to enable usb ports in virtual box with hardy heron?
[23:18] <TuniX12> Some_Person:  what is written in that text?
[23:18] <HardDisk> amedx, install virtualbox from the link at www.virtualbox.org and read the user documentation
[23:18] <Some_Person> TuniX12: It's things like loading this and doing that. All the lines end in [OK]
[23:18] <HardDisk> amedx, it's straight forward, click on the USB title and enable the ports.
[23:19] <Analkrut> Hello
[23:19] <amedx> HardDisk, mmm
[23:19] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: Yeah, thats like the default stuff
[23:19] <HardDisk> amedx, note, OSE doesn't support 2.0, get the non OSE version from the site.
[23:19] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: yeah, but usplash should cover it up
[23:19] <amedx> HardDisk, ok
[23:20] <Vixus> Hey, any music makers here?
[23:20] <Agu10> ME
[23:20] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: apt-get install --reinstall usplash-theme-ubuntu
[23:20] <Analkrut> I have a little problem, are you in the middle of something or can I interupt?
[23:20] <Agu10> I am a music maker
[23:20] <sprecker> i make music
[23:20] <Agu10> Vixus: see my music page: http://agu10.com.ar
[23:20] <Agu10> go to Musica page
[23:20] <Agu10> and press "play"
[23:20] <Vixus> Do you use linux for music work?
[23:21] <Agu10> no
[23:21] <Agu10> not yet
[23:21] <majikman> HardDisk, i don't have aspci installed on my computer
[23:21] <sprecker> what is the best thing to use to run xp in ubuntu for audio
[23:21] <Vixus> what do you use?
[23:21] <majikman> apt-get install aspci didn't work either
[23:21] <sprecker> reason live ext
[23:21] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: worth a try, doubt it will work though
[23:21] <infinitycircuit> sprecker, i would use vmware server 2 beta
[23:21] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: did you edit your menu.lst by hand ?
[23:21] <Vixus> Agu10: that's pretty good : D
[23:21] <arooni________aa> gimp
[23:21] <Agu10> I use XP with Propelerhead Reason and Fruity Loops
[23:21] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: had to
[23:22] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: theres a way to update grub with that list, but I forget wtf the command is
[23:22] <Vixus> Agu10: Ah yeah, Reason.. that's what I was looking into.. how much did you shell out for it because I was seeking a free-ish alternative.
[23:22] <HardDisk> majikman, and?
[23:22] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: sudo update-grub?
[23:22] <Agu10> i didnt understand, vixus
[23:22] <HardDisk> majikman, I never mentioned aspci to you.
[23:22] <majikman> HardDisk, so how do i run the ascpi command that you wanted me to run?
[23:22] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: maybe?
[23:23] <Vixus> Agu10: How much did you pay for Reason? : )
[23:23] <majikman> oh, woops, iscpi
[23:23] <HardDisk> majikman, in terminal lspci
[23:23] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: Yeah, that looks about right
[23:23] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: didnt work
[23:23] <Agu10> I paid $0 for it
[23:23] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: was first thing i tried
[23:23] <arooni> i'm having issues with gimp on hardy... when i click the file menu... it clicks; but i dont see any menu items for it... ideaz?  ... all menus are afflicted with this (i've already tried loggin/in&out, and closing and restarting app)
[23:23] <majikman> HardDisk, ispci doesn't work, locate doesn't find it, and i can't apt-get install it
[23:23] <HardDisk> L
[23:23] <HardDisk> L
[23:23] <Agu10> I am in Argentina, so i can download Reason and use it free of charge !!!
[23:23] <HardDisk> no i
[23:23] <HardDisk> lspci
[23:23] <FloodBot1> HardDisk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:23] <Agu10> without going jail
[23:23] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: is there a way to regenerate menu.lst?
[23:24] <HardDisk> oh shush FloodBot1
[23:24] <Vixus> Agu10: haha, that's ideal then ;)
[23:24] <Agu10> yeah
[23:24] <Agu10> did you listen to my musics?
[23:24] <HardDisk> arooni, I told you what to do.
[23:24] <majikman> oh, sorry. yea, its a boradcom
[23:24] <Agu10> http://agu10.com.ar
[23:24] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: ls -l /etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so
[23:24] <arooni> HardDisk, huh?
[23:24] <Agu10> ^
[23:24] <majikman> BM4312
[23:24] <arooni> i didnt see anything
[23:24] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: grub-install maybe
[23:24] <Vixus> Agu10: yeah I did
[23:24] <majikman> BCM4312
[23:24] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: the usplash theme is fine
[23:24] <Agu10> I made the music player too
[23:25] <Agu10> in flash
[23:25] <LimCore> when ubuntu will provide office word processor that actually is usable?
[23:25] <kappaccino> any know why virtualbox XP guest won't connect to a folder share?
[23:25] <HardDisk> arooni, because you're too busy getting into trouble.  I told you to try to rm the .gimp-2.2 or .gimp-2.4 folder and you had different problems posted, I hope you're legit.
[23:25] <Starnestommy> LimCore: openoffice.org works fine for me
[23:25] <Some_Person> LimCore: OpenOffice
[23:25] <Analkrut> Does anyone know why everything freezes when I try to launch ubuntu, everything works fine until the loading screen comes up (where the little orange box goes back and forth) then it freezes and the computer stops working
[23:25] <Analkrut> ??
[23:25] <LimCore> Starnestommy:  Some_Person:  it fails epically
[23:26] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: i also did try grub-install, again, no work
[23:26] <Starnestommy> LimCore: not for me
[23:26] <HardDisk> Analkrut, boot, press ESC for grub, edit (F6) remove quite splash -- and see where it stops that could give you a hint.
[23:26] <arooni> HardDisk, i dont recall you telling me that; apologies.  i have the gimp version that is installed on ubuntu by default... but not really sure what version it is since i cant access the menus
[23:26] <redhat89> hi i have a question about ubuntu studio
[23:26] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: try changing root=/dev/hda to root=UUID=whatever
[23:26] <LimCore> Starnestommy: can you get grammer spell checking?
[23:26] <arooni> ah ha!  it was a window manager issues
[23:27] <arooni> solved!
[23:27] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: how do i know what the right UUID is?
[23:27] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: cat /etc/fstab ?
[23:27] <redhat89> how do i get the bar at the bottom of the desktop to minimize to with the trash and all that with the ubuntu studio theme?
[23:27] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: or did you change that to be /dev/hda
[23:27] <HardDisk> arooni, go to terminal and do it
[23:27] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: its set right now to root=/dev/sda5
[23:28] <HardDisk> redhat89, right click on bar, properties.
[23:28] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: hmm, I don't know hwo to get the uuid of that
[23:28] <EvilDennisR> !uuid
[23:28] <infinitycircuit> !intrepid
[23:28] <pucko-> some_person use vol_id /dev/sdx I believe
[23:28] <EvilDennisR> Some_Person: blkid
[23:28] <jals> i installed mysql i believe in the default location, where is the data likely to be stored?
[23:29] <MrGando> Hi guys, I need some support here, I have a ubuntu 7.04 installed on my Intel E6550 machine, it has been great, but I want to upgrade to 8.04 .  My issue is that I have installed the i386 version , but I don't know if it would be better to install the 64bit version now ?
[23:29] <Vixus> hey, if I'm dual-booting, is there any way of running my windows installation using virtualbox? (since we're all chatting about vb)
[23:29] <Some_Person> EvilDennisR: ok, i'll try that
[23:29] <HardDisk> MrGando, stick with i386 if I were you.
[23:29] <Rioting_pacifist> !azureus
[23:29] <MrGando> HardDisk: Why is that ?
[23:29] <infinitycircuit> Vixus, yes there is search google
[23:29] <HardDisk> MrGando, do you have more than 4GB's of ram or require any work that is cpu intensive?
[23:30] <Analkrut> HardDisk, I havn't even managed to install it fully yet, the problem comes when I'm installing it...forgot to mention it first
[23:30] <MrGando> HardDisk: I Have 2 gb of ram, and I do a lot of Seti@home
[23:30] <HardDisk> MrGando, then stick with i386
[23:30] <MrGando> HardDisk: the machine is a file server at home, do you recommend me to upgrade anyways ?
[23:30] <HardDisk> Analkrut, ?
[23:30] <Analkrut> Should I try to install it with any of the alternatives that comes up when I press escape?
[23:31] <HardDisk> MrGando, I would upgrade to 8.04LTS yes.
[23:31] <HardDisk> MrGando, but backup first any configurations you have.
[23:31] <MrGando> HardDisk: Well that's great news ,  the only complicated configuration I have here is Netatalk , ( for file sharing with my Macs )
[23:32] <BlackDark> hi
[23:32] <maxwell> oi
[23:32] <EvilDennisR> !hi | BlackDark
[23:32] <Analkrut> Okay, Im trying to install Ubnutu, but after installing kernel it freezes (when the little orange box goes back and forth)
[23:32] <BlackDark> I'm running ubuntu 7.04 and I'd like to connect my bluetooth headset
[23:32] <Analkrut> Ubuntu*
[23:32] <BlackDark> I paired it
[23:32] <BlackDark> but no sound with skype
[23:32] <BlackDark> what can I do to fix the problem ?
[23:33] <HardDisk> MrGando, no problems then :)
[23:33] <EvilDennisR> Analkrut: what version of ubuntu, and what hardware are you trying to install it on
[23:33] <HardDisk> Analkrut, did you do what I said though?
[23:33] <vlad> hey ppl anybody know how can i solve the problem  Could not initialise Xv output in ati vidcard ???
[23:33] <TuniX12> BlackDark: skype use OSS you cant have a sound if another sound app is running
[23:33] <tanlaan> Hey everyone, I am getting some weird errors on my laptop running the latest Ubuntu
[23:34] <BlackDark> TuniX12:  skype works well with my usb headset
[23:34] <EvilDennisR> !pastebin | tanlaan
[23:35] <tanlaan> EvilDennisR: No, it isn't showing me any errors, but GNOME locks up and my top and bottom panels become unclickable
[23:35] <Jack_Sparrow> BlackDark Have you checked in the supported hardware page to see if it works for others
[23:35] <tanlaan> and then I am forced to restart my computer *completely*
[23:35] <EvilDennisR> tanlaan: what are you doing before this occurs
[23:35] <HardDisk> TuniX12, it works without OSS
[23:35] <Analkrut> HardDisk, Yes but nothing happens when I press F6, i know chose the alternative for people that has graphics problem, so hopefully I get an error message or something, already after 10sec it tells me that "8139C is not a compatible chip" and that there is no WMI interface
[23:35] <SymbianDJ> FGLRX help: anyone know why there are 2 Xorg processes running
[23:35] <happy_tux> hello people. just a question...after upgrading ubuntu, evolution keeps asking my password for default keyring.  i have auto logon on.  How can i get around evolution not asking for this all the time ?
[23:36] <tanlaan> because if I restart X with ctrl-alt-backspace it will come up normal, I can then try and log in and then it black screens, tries going back to the login but it says that it is crashing
[23:36] <Jack_Sparrow> tanlaan Basic information to help us help you: Which distro/release are you using, have you modified your sources.list, have you compiled programs from source, Is this a regular install or are you running in some sort of virtual machine or did you install with wubi etc?
[23:36] <TuniX12> HardDisk:  no
[23:36] <EvilDennisR> SymbianDJ: If I recall correctly, if you're using fglrx it spawns another x server while gdm keep running one
[23:36] <HardDisk> TuniX12, don't say no.
[23:36] <EvilDennisR> SymbianDJ: Is it an issue that its running two sessons?
[23:37] <tanlaan> I am doing either nothing or just normal things. 8.04, compaq presario f572us, only compiled my bcmx firmware for my wireless card, and I actually installed the packages for ubuntu studio but it was doing this before I had done that
[23:37] <EvilDennisR> SymbianDJ: I might be thinking of the 3d xorg server or something like that
[23:37] <TuniX12> HardDisk: http://www.skype.com/help/guides/soundsetup_linux.html
[23:37] <SymbianDJ> EvilDennisR: well it does unnecessarily.. both of them take the same amount of Ram.. almost a 100 each
[23:38] <HardDisk> TuniX12, old guide.
[23:38] <tanlaan> Right now I'm considering that it might be an error from install, but I'm not completely sure
[23:38] <EvilDennisR> SymbianDJ: Do you have dual monitors ?
[23:38] <SymbianDJ> nope
[23:38] <EvilDennisR> what happens when you kill one of them
[23:38] <BlackDark> umm all have is static in the headset
[23:38] <EvilDennisR> SymbianDJ: with kill, not logging out or whatever
[23:39] <SymbianDJ> EvilDennisR: nothing really. i noticed one of them doesnot use any CPU. so killed that. nothing happened but it comes back again
[23:39] <EvilDennisR> SymbianDJ: its prolly gdm then
[23:40] <maxwell> hi people I have ubuntu but he is slow because of the web ?
[23:40] <tayfun> can someone tell me how can i install google earth on my linux ubuntu ?
[23:40] <SymbianDJ> EvilDennisR: if i check dependencies then the one using CPU is dependant on the other.. but i see no difference by killing it.
[23:40] <HardDisk> maxwell, cpu/ram you're using?
[23:40] <m-c> is there a quick way to see the partitions of all physical media?  I do not want to load gparted everythime I need a sd reference
[23:40] <maxwell> yes
[23:40] <HardDisk> m-c, sudo fdisk -l
[23:40] <mariot> hi, does anyone know of a good, free, 3d CAD program for Linux?
[23:41] <dyf> mariot: blender
[23:41] <Jack_Sparrow> m-c sudo fdisk -l
[23:41] <HardDisk> mariot, www.osalt.com
[23:41] <amedx> tayfun, go to google earth site, download binary and execute this
[23:41] <tayfun> can someone tell me how can i install google earth on my linux ubuntu ?
[23:41] <m-c> HardDisk: Jack_Sparrow:  Thanks much
[23:41] <EvilDennisR> m-c: sfdisk -d /dev/sda
[23:41] <tayfun> i did its not workin
[23:41] <joaopinto> mariot, try qcad
[23:41] <tayfun> can u tell me pls what can i write in terminal then maybe i can install it ?
[23:41] <HardDisk> tayfun, add the medibuntu repository
[23:41] <Jack_Sparrow> tayfun The instructions are clear and easy to understand on the google site
[23:41] <EvilDennisR> m-c: -l works as well
[23:42] <alan_m> !medibuntu | tayfun
[23:42] <HardDisk> tayfun, update, and sudo apt-get install googleearth
[23:42] <dyf> mariot: it's a general 3d modeling software, but when used properly can be a great cad tool
[23:42] <m-c> I have four hard drive and lots of partitions  :o)
[23:42] <amedx> tayfun, http://earth.google.es/download-earth.html
[23:43] <HardDisk> amedx, no need, it's in the repository anyway
[23:43] <Jack_Sparrow> !medibuntu
[23:43] <eboyjr> Help! My mouse cursor is on crack... It just started happening (it was fine yesterday). The mouse moves in short bursts.
[23:43] <mariot> thanks for the responses
[23:43] <SymbianDJ> EvilDennisR: any idea what i can do about Xorg ?

[23:45] <HardDisk> tayfun, then take your time to read it.
[23:45] <amedx> HardDisk, scuse
[23:45] <KyleK> epic doesn't mean ultra cool or rare :p

[23:46] <HardDisk> tayfun, no.
[23:46] <HardDisk> I don't get angry.
[23:46] <tayfun> i just asked u for what is this software good?
[23:46] <HardDisk> tayfun, it's not software, it's a repository
[23:47] <HardDisk> tayfun, it's mentioned what it is on the site, it's a small description you can read a couple of lines and understand.
[23:47] <tayfun> ok ok i will read
[23:47] <tayfun> but before i read it
[23:47] <tayfun> i download now this google earth
[23:47] <Nobu> hey

[23:47] <Lynet> !enter | tayfun
[23:47] <tayfun> its just on my desktop now and when i click for install its says no
[23:48] <tayfun> upps sorry about the enter button :( i didnt do it extra
[23:48] <alan_m> tayfun, then you might have to enable that medibuntu thing were trying to get you to do, it might help out :)
[23:48] <Firefishe> tayfun:  I'd download the *.run file for Google Earth.
[23:48] <eboyjr> HardDisk: To let you know: restarting the GDM didn't work... so I restarted the computer and it worked.
[23:48] <LimCore> KyleK: epic: adj.: 1. something as big as the size of some bugs in ubuntu  2. something very bih
[23:48] <tayfun> firefish how can i run this bin file from google earth?
[23:49] <danfg> how can i have a shell script keep running when a command throws a non-zero exit code?
[23:49] <Firefishe> tayfun:  let's take it to private message
[23:49] <tayfun> ok
[23:49] <afallenhope> Hey guys.. I have a question.. I want to increase my / since /home is on a seperate partition... can I just use gparted to get the free space from my /home partition and allocate it to / without it breaking on me?
[23:49] <Starnestommy> tayfun: try sh ./filename.sh
[23:49] <HardDisk> Firefishe, no need.
[23:50] <HardDisk> tayfun, if you followed what I told you it would work.
[23:50] <krzysz01> afallenhope i think so but im not sure. however i have increaced / by taking from windows to delete windows FOREVER and there were no problems
[23:53] <xcedx> Test
[23:54] <xcedx> Test2
[23:54] <HardDisk> loud and clear.
[23:54] <jrib> xcedx: failed!
[23:55] <maxwell> falow
[23:56] <stu> im trying to use freenx to connect to a ubuntu hardy server... all I get is a blank screen when I choose KDE and if I choose Gnome it terminates after the authentication after a brief flash on the screen
[23:56] <stu> gnome/kde work fine locally and via vnc
[23:57] <Absolute-Zero> i fucking hate irc, stupid thing ever, you go to any chanel to any network and still no one evers speaks out

[23:58] <macGerhard> hey guys, I'm running 8.04 on a server, fresh install, I can't sudo or su, it just stalls any ideas?
[23:58] <leato> Absolute-Zero: is like when you walk into a room and nobody says anything but looks at you..
[23:58] <Absolute-Zero> but it doesnt make sense
[23:58] <leato> you just enteredd irc
[23:58] <leato> :P
[23:59] <macGerhard> from the stuff I could find on Google, it had something to do with the hostname, but how can I change the hostname if I cannot sudo?
[23:59] <Jack_Sparrow> leato Please stay on topic...
[23:59] <Absolute-Zero> tthere are hunders of people in here and only 3 are talking ?
[23:59] <leato> it's a support chaannel, give it a brerk
[23:59] <Ravenkin> Can anyone help me with a monitor issue?
