[12:42] <scag> heguru: /etc/apache/httpd.conf
[12:42] <digitalspaghetti> Is there a way to change the mount point of a device?
[12:43] <heguru> scag: oh apache 1.3
[12:43] <scag> heguru: It was already there, and commented out. I pasted it exactly as it is from the tutorial, and it worked. I put my own pages, and it stopped working. Then I put it back to how it was in the tutorial and that won't work again.,
[12:43] <xubuntuM> problem cnfiguration materiel ubuntu rtm290
[12:44] <scag> heguru: Hm, I don't know the version. I just need to redirect the site cause the webpages are on another PC.
[12:44] <rake> scag: that seems to be an html issue... not an apache issue
[12:44] <scag> Hm
[12:44] <jeff1212> where can i get some killer wallpapers?
[12:45] <rldowling03> can anyone help me?? When i do lsusb  device it is listed but i cannot use the device
[12:45] <heguru> scag: actually i believe its because there might not be /index.html
[12:45] <Bo^Dick> why does ubuntu restart w/o notification when i change bitdepth and samplerate?
[12:45] <scag> heguru: There is
[12:46] <scag> heguru: It opens the index.html, doesn't redirect
[12:46] <jeff1212> rldowling03: what is the device? u might have to make a script for it
[12:46] <Twiinz> Hi there
[12:47] <heguru> scag: i'm sure you restarted apache after this?
[12:47] <rldowling03> jeff1212: It is a Bluetooth USB device

[12:47] <Twiinz> i'm setting up a linux server that will server an heterogeneous network of linux windows and mac clients, i wonder what that's best way to provide shared hard disk to this network

[12:48] <_Argasm> hi guys, I'm having problems setting up my wireless device in Ubuntu...  worked fine in 7.04 but 7.10 is giving me hassle... any help ???
[12:48] <Morticed> !samba | Twiinz
[12:48] <ubotu> Twiinz: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[12:48] <Morticed> Twiinz: I'd definitely go the samba route for that
[12:48] <rake|lurk> _Argasm: ummm beta?  try #ubuntu+1
[12:48] <scag> heguru: Okay, np :)
[12:48] <jeff1212> _Argasm: join #ubuntu+1 for 7.10
[12:49] <Twiinz> samba support is somewhat dodgy in OSX though
[12:49] <_Argasm> been there, no-one answers my questions...  I just need someone to talk me through setting it up normally please...
[12:49] <rake|lurk> ahh, well, then I can't help.  never done it.
[12:49] <jeff1212> rldowling03: sorry never owned a bluetooth
[12:49] <Twiinz> and the number of windows machine is very limited compared to the number of linux and OS X boxes, isn't there another option to smb ?
[12:50] <Moosky> _Argasm: may be you should explain what's the problem. Then we'd have something to talk about .
[12:50] <rake|lurk> ftp!
[12:50] <rldowling03> ok, is there anyone here who can help me figure out why i can see my bluetooth in ubuntu, but not use it
[12:50] <_Argasm> k, usually I goto Prefs-Network and setup my wireless card and static ip addy... then I apt-get dnsmasq and ipmasq and share internet conneciton with laptop over wireless and it works fine
[12:50] <rake|lurk> Twiinz: any os comes with FTP support, usually via a GUI even (even if nothing else than a browser - uploading via browser isn't as intuitive though)
[12:50] <_Argasm> but... I setup the wireless and the damn thing wont even come on now (blink)
[12:51] <Twiinz> rake|lurk: unfortunatly OS X Finder doesnt upload files to FTP
[12:51] <_Argasm> it's like ubuntu see's the wireless card but doesnt like using it...
[12:52] <rake|lurk> Twiinz: so, pick the pain.  someone is going to have to go through some extra steps.  seems like OS X folks are hurting one way or another - I'd go with reliability over flakiness
[12:52] <xubuntuM> voici mon problem http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1000858

[12:54] <Twiinz> maybe there's a way for setting up nfs for windows
[12:54] <Twiinz> that'd be the absolute best

[01:00] <xubuntuM> I am trying to install Ubuntu Studio 7.04, and having a problem. I downloaded it, burned it to a DVD, and stuck it in the computer. The installer came up just fine. I selected the default "Install Ubuntu Studio" menu option, and it tells me it's starting the Linux kernel. Then the screen goes blank for about three minutes, and then says "Trying to enable the frame buffer." Another three...
[01:00] <xubuntuM> ...minutes later, the installer starts. The keyboard detection and all that works fine, but when I get to detecting the hardware it has problems. The "Detecting Hardware" progress bar sits at 0% for a few minutes, then jumps to 6% and says "Loading module 'trm290' for 'IDE Chipset Support'..." Nothing after that happens. I left it like that for about 4 hours yesterday, and it just sits...
[01:00] <xubuntuM> Hello,
[01:00] <xubuntuM> ...there. The same thing happens if I select "Text Mode Install for Manufacturers," or "Check CD For Defects" from the installation menu.
[01:00] <xubuntuM> Could it be that I'm just not waiting long enough? If so, why is everything going so slow? Any ideas?

[01:38] <gang> maybe ubuntu don' support 8600gt pci-e
[01:39] <heguru> gang: it does, just read the link above
[01:39] <tarzeau> gang: the nvidia card?
[01:40] <Lonniebiz> I just extracted 17000 files into the wrong folder (a folder that has files I want to keep in it). Anyone know how I can delete only the files I just extracted to that folder?
[01:40] <gang> ok
[01:40] <gang> i try again
[01:41] <Pici> Lonniebiz: you could use some sort of magic with the find command.  There are switches to look for files as of a certain date and you can specify an action to do on those files, like move/delete/whatever
[01:41] <Pici> Lonniebiz: I dont know the syntax off the top of my head though.
[01:41] <heguru> gang: for your card read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2791480
[01:41] <Lonniebiz> I've been working with find, but I haven't found the right command combination yet.
[01:42] <gang> thanks heguru
[01:44] <heguru> Lonniebiz: maybe: find -mmin n
[01:44] <Lonniebiz> I'll look into that now.
[01:44] <heguru> Lonniebiz: where n is number of minutes
[01:44] <Lonniebiz> oh
[01:45] <heguru> Lonniebiz: the archive that you extracted the files from, you can use that with xargs or for loop as well
[01:46] <Lonniebiz> interesting
[01:47] <heguru> Lonniebiz: something like: for f in `tar -ztf your.tar.gz`; do rm $f; done;
[01:48] <heguru> Lonniebiz: you might want to replace rm with mv to make sure you don't accidently delete something
[01:48] <shriphani> how can I get syntax highlighting for vim. I have installed vim.python, done touch .vimrc and put "syntax enable" in it.
[01:48] <Kohvihoor> how to purge something, that i have manually compiled?
[01:49] <heguru> shriphani: sudo apt-get install vim-full
[01:49] <heguru> Kohvihoor: find and remove all the files manually
[01:49] <Kohvihoor> okay
[01:49] <Kohvihoor> but what if i install newer version?
[01:49] <shriphani> heguru, that will enable syntax-highlighting but installing only vim.python won't ?
[01:49] <Kohvihoor> compile.
[01:50] <Kohvihoor> Will it overwrite those old files?
[01:50] <heguru> Kohvihoor: next time try using checkinstall in place of make install
[01:50] <Lonniebiz> There are so many files in the directory that nautilus won't even open the folder.
[01:50] <heguru> Kohvihoor: usually yes
[01:50] <Kohvihoor> Okay.
[01:50] <Kohvihoor> Thanx.
[01:50] <heguru> Lonniebiz: why not use cli
[01:50] <Lonniebiz> find -mmin 60 | xargs rm
[01:51] <CluBBaH> hey
[01:51] <Lonniebiz> never heard of cli
[01:51] <heguru> Lonniebiz: i don't know how would xargs be with 17000 files *-)

[01:57] <heguru> titun: so many lines! right now its as slow as #ubuntu get
[01:57] <Lonniebiz> Well, I'm going read up a bit, and I've copied the commands you've told me. I need to learn how to automate these type of things.
[01:57] <heguru> titun: i have seen your problem btw, and i guess you came here yesterday too
[01:57] <Lonniebiz> thanks heguru
[01:57] <heguru> Lonniebiz: welcome
[01:58] <titun> heguru: yes i have been asking for past 2 days, no luck :(
[01:58] <heguru> titun: the message seems to suggest that your device is not recognized
[01:58] <titun> heguru: btw now i have the drivers for the infrared adapter.. they r old RedHat9 drivers.......
[01:58] <titun> heguru: i don't know how to install these drivers
[01:59] <heguru> titun: are you sure your infrared adapter works under linux?
[01:59] <heguru> titun: is it usb or serial?
[01:59] <titun> heguru: its USB
[01:59] <heguru> titun: and you are sure it works?
[01:59] <titun> heguru: i don't know if it is supported in linux..but it should , what u think
[01:59] <zengen> Anyone familiar with the gedit project manager plugin know how I could open up a project without them all opening in tabs, only in the sidebar?

[02:01] <joaob> Morning!
[02:01] <titun> heguru: would u like to see the dmesg also?
[02:01] <joaob> I an not able to access my NTFS partition on HDB - newly installed ubuntu did not list the /dev/hdbN drives.
[02:02] <joaob> *I am
[02:02] <fblade1987> can anyone help, how can i run a shell script without always putting "sh" in front of it
[02:02] <heguru> titun: yes that would be good
[02:02] <joaob> I tried mknod-ing /dev/hdb1, to no avail.
[02:02] <heguru> fblade1987: make the script executable: chmod +x script.sh
[02:03] <joaob> fblade1987: just make it executable
[02:03] <juan__> hello all
[02:03] <titun> heguru: only the relevant last portions : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/40148/
[02:03] <joaob> and put it ina  directory that is in your PATH environment variable.
[02:03] <titun> heguru: ignore the Broadcomm Wireless errors
[02:03] <fblade1987> says command not found when i attempt to run it
[02:04] <joaob> fblade1987: if it already is executable, you have to put it in a direcorty in your PATH, or type the path to it
[02:04] <joaob> fblade1987: like $./script.sh"
[02:04] <juan__> i just typed sudo apt-get remove --purge amsn but it didn't delete any of the .amsn files, any idea on how to do this with apt-get?
[02:04] <fblade1987> ok thanks
[02:05] <joaob> anyone have any ideia on how to make /dev/hdb1 accessible ?
[02:05] <heguru> titun: your infrared seems to be detected fine
[02:05] <heguru> titun: what do you want to do with it?
[02:05] <Pici> juan__: purge doesnt remove user preferences, you need to remove those out of your home manually.
[02:05] <titun> heguru: yes yesterday the messages did not show there!
[02:05] <titun> heguru: i want to transfer image from my mobile
[02:05] <titun> heguru: let me try
[02:06] <juan__> thanx Pici
[02:06] <juan__> joaob, can you be more specific?
[02:07] <Whoopie> hi, anybody on gutsy and wants to test uswsusp with usplash support? I've added a patch to bug 109151. I'd be every grateful for any tests. Thanks.
[02:07] <Pici> Whoopie: #ubuntu+1 for Gutsy questions please.
[02:08] <darkchr0n0s> 7 days to gutsy :(
[02:08] <Whoopie> Pici: MOTU guys told me to also ask here, but ok.
[02:08] <darkchr0n0s> i want 7.10 :@ :# :'( :(
[02:08] <joaob> juan__: here it is...I have a recently installed system, and /dev/hdb1 is simply not there, in /dev.
[02:08] <fblade1987> are you not able to just run a shell script like unix, by just typing the command name
[02:08] <joaob> juan__: although there is a NTFS partition tehre which works under windows
[02:08] <heguru> fblade1987: only if its in PATH
[02:08] <joaob> and is printed by fdisk
[02:09] <darkchr0n0s> joaob : try sudo fdisk -l
[02:09] <heguru> fblade1987: copy to /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin to run just by typing name
[02:09] <heguru> fblade1987: copy to only one of the folders mentioned above
[02:10] <thesaint4444> is it possible to add a virtual ip alias i.e. eth0:0 in dapper without bringing eth0 up and down? say edit the network file then reload networks via init.d or something?
[02:10] <jrib> fblade1987: . is not in your path, so './foo' if it is in your current directory
[02:10] <heguru> thesaint4444: ifconfig eth0:0 <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:10] <fblade1987> right thank alot helped me out a lot
[02:10] <heguru> thesaint4444: ifconfig eth0:0 up
[02:10] <joaob> darkchr0n0s: I had done that already. As I said, the partition is there
[02:11] <darkchr0n0s> can you paste the output in the bin ?
[02:11] <thesaint4444> heguru: ok and what about for a permanent change? i.e. after reboot..
[02:12] <heguru> thesaint4444: add it to network file
[02:12] <joaob> darkchr0n0s: the values returned by fdisk are a bit "funny", though
[02:12] <darkchr0n0s> joaob : can you paste the output in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[02:12] <thesaint4444> heguru: ok, and to make that change available straight away?
[02:13] <titun> heguru: my mobile battery drained... i will try to send something from mobile to PC later.. but do u think this will be sufficient to transfer or anything else is needed?
[02:13] <heguru> thesaint4444: what i wrote above: sudo ifconfig eth0:0 yourip && sudo ifconfig eth0:0 up
[02:13] <titun> heguru: like some other interface, i have irda-utils and setserial installed,
[02:13] <heguru> titun: that should be enough
[02:14] <heguru> titun: just remember that your irda port is /dev/ttyUSB0 if any software asks
[02:14] <titun> heguru: ah ok
[02:14] <joaob> darkchr0n0s:  hmmm... -l ooptions gives me more info thatn "p" inside fdksik
[02:14] <joaob> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/40149/
[02:14] <titun> heguru:i will come back and inform you if that worked...and will also edit the forum post
[02:14] <joaob> darkchr0n0s: It looks like it is plainly corrupted
[02:14] <joaob> although windows can read it.
[02:14] <thesaint4444> heguru: ok, thanks will test it out...
[02:14] <juan__> joaob you need to install ntfs configuration tool
[02:15] <juan__> joaob, you find it in add/remove
[02:15] <heguru> titun: ok, good luck :)
[02:15] <thesaint4444> heguru: it is on a remote connection machine and i dont want to loose the interface for obvious reasons...
[02:16] <titun> heguru: oh btw according to this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IrdaHowto i did SETSERIAL=/dev/ttyS1, [step 5]  should i change that to /dev/ttyUSB0?
[02:16] <joaob> juan__: I can't see how that will help , if the partiotin table is corrupt.
[02:16] <heguru> thesaint4444: normally /etc/init.d/network restart will not disconnect you
[02:16] <joaob> I'd need to create a new onematching the dirves contents...
[02:16] <heguru> titun: yes
[02:16] <shriphani> heguru, I installed vim-full but I still don
[02:16] <titun> ok
[02:17] <shriphani> t have syntax highlighting.
[02:17] <shriphani> sorry, typo there.
[02:17] <heguru> shriphani: one min
[02:17] <darkchr0n0s_> joaob : just paste it there
[02:17] <thesaint4444> heguru: yes, thats what i was wondering... thanks...
[02:17] <joaob> darkchr0n0s_:  it is there
[02:17] <joaob> darkchr0n0s_:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/40149/
[02:18] <filthpig> hi, isn't OpenOffice 2.3 added to the feisty repos?
[02:18] <heguru> filthpig: no
[02:19] <thesaint4444> heguru: what if there is a syntax/config error in the network file? will i loose the existing interface or just not get the new one?
[02:19] <novato_br>
[02:19] <novato_br>
[02:19] <novato_br> ola
[02:20] <joaob> eeeek
[02:20] <Pici> !br | novato_br
[02:20] <ubotu> novato_br: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[02:20] <heguru> thesaint4444: if error in only new one then you will not get the new one, if you modified the exiting ones and there is some error there, you will loose your connection
[02:20] <codecaine> hey how can I move all the files in one directory on a ftp server to another part of the ftp server at one time?
[02:20] <joaob> juan__, darkchr0n0s_thanks for the help

[02:20] <joaob> the FS is on raw /dev/hdb
[02:20] <joaob> eeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkk
[02:20] <novato_br>
[02:21] <joaob> taht makes me __sick__
[02:21] <juan__> joaob so you need to create a patrition table, right?
[02:21] <Kopfgeldjaeger> hi
[02:21] <joaob> juan__: No.
[02:21] <Baikonur> bad grammar makes me [sic]
[02:21] <thesaint4444> heguru: ok, cool, just trying to check before i take action.. thanks :-)
[02:21] <juan__> joaob then?
[02:21] <novato_br> joaob, what do you make  sick ?
[02:21] <filthpig> heguru, okey, what's the easiest way of getting openoffice 2.3 on a feisty system with minimum fuss?
[02:21] <joaob> juan__: I can  reate one tehre, or I would overwriute teh beggning of tthe filesystem
[02:22] <joaob> I could already mount it
[02:22] <joaob> mount
[02:22] <joaob> the painfull part is see such a crappy thing done.
[02:22] <joaob> but I can work fine now.
[02:22] <heguru> filthpig: wait for 8 days, then upgrade to gutsy
[02:22] <heguru> filthpig: not exactly minimum fuss!

[02:25] <krekon> ch3ckm8e there is not driver for linux for this model of epson
[02:26] <heguru> codecaine: use GUI ftp tools if you have the option (gftp, filezilla)
[02:26] <heguru> codecaine: though I guess it can be dont with cli ftp too
[02:26] <Indiadev_Techie> can any one help me ??
[02:27] <ch3ckm8e> krekon: do you have a windows machine?
[02:27] <codecaine> Id idn't see it in gftp either
[02:27] <krekon> ch3ckm8e yes
[02:27] <ch3ckm8e> krekon: is it possible to install the printer on the windows machine and network the printer via samba to the ubuntu machine?
[02:28] <krekon> ch3ckm8e no I don't have network
[02:28] <fevel> set it up
[02:28] <fevel> it would be a good idea to get rid of those unsupported hardware
[02:29] <Indiadev_Techie> is there any support for mp3,mpeg & other video/audio formats on ubuntu....
[02:29] <Kleber_> hello folks, I need to setup a new x86 desktop machine. I'd like to install gutsy beta and I know soon it will get the stable.

[02:29] <ch3ckm8e> Kleber_: yes.. through the update manager provided in ubuntu
[02:30] <Indiadev_Techie> i want the dowloads....i m new 2 ubuntu....
[02:30] <krekon> ch3ckm8e it is wierd that debian sarge (my old system) had a driver for c84 but ubuntu don't
[02:30] <maconith> Indiadev_Techie: This really isn't a big issue.
[02:30] <ch3ckm8e> Indiadev_Techie: also check out the howtoforge on "setting up the perfect desktop ubuntu"
[02:30] <Pici> Indiadev_Techie: Please read the links that ubotu gave you
[02:30] <codecaine> filezilla don't have it either :(
[02:30] <Kleber_> ch3chm8e: just using it ? all the software will be upgraded (even the wallpaper, etc..) ?
[02:31] <Indiadev_Techie> but i dont have internet connection..i wanna download manually...
[02:31] <fevel> krekon, then I guess there is a driver online somewhere, I had a similar problem with canon i320
[02:31] <Pici> Indiadev_Techie: What exactly is the question here?
[02:31] <fevel> krekon, have you checked linuxprint .org
[02:31] <fevel> ?
[02:31] <ch3ckm8e> Kleber_: yes there is an update manager that will update your system
[02:31] <heguru> codecaine: gftp has it, just select the folder and press -> key
[02:31] <heguru> codecaine: unless I understood your question completely wrong
[02:32] <Kleber_> ch3chm8e: thanks, I will download and install the gutsy beta right now and later I upgrade it...
[02:32] <ch3ckm8e> krekon: a linux driver for debian should work in ubuntu.. try it and let me kno
[02:32] <fevel> I had to install windows on vmware server to get the damn thing working
[02:32] <krekon> fevel no , I'll check it now
[02:32] <maconith> fevel: poor you.
[02:32] <fevel> maconith, yes...I got  me pretty frustrated
[02:32] <ch3ckm8e> fevel: lol i thought of that solution
[02:33] <codecaine> yea I figured it out thanks heguru
[02:33] <Chamunks> does anyone know why im having trouble connecting to a vista shared folder in ubuntu this folder has shared permissions set up fine and it doesent have a password set but ubuntu keeps asking me for login credentials
[02:33] <codecaine> I selected the files then drag drop
[02:33] <Indiadev_Techie> i wanna download audio/video codec like (specially mp3,mpeg) for ubuntu manually.......u dont have internet connection at home......
[02:33] <Indiadev_Techie> sorry "i"
[02:33] <ch3ckm8e> Indiadev_Techie: why not just use VLC for this?? It contains all the codecs you need
[02:33] <fevel> Chamunks, I had a similar problem too! lol try typing the direct ip on nautilus
[02:34] <Steven_Laptop> Can some tell me what setting to edit in Xorg to kill the horizontal scrolling?
[02:34] <fevel> Chamunks,  like smb://ip
[02:34] <Chamunks> fevel, ill give that a try
[02:34] <Indiadev_Techie> i wanna download audio/video codec like (specially mp3,mpeg) for ubuntu manually.......i dont have internet connection at home......
[02:34] <Indiadev_Techie> any other ???
[02:34] <Indiadev_Techie> give me the link.......
[02:34] <Chamunks> fevel, still asks me for the password
[02:34] <poningru_> Indiadev_Techie, go to packages.ubuntu.com
[02:35] <poningru_> and download it from there
[02:35] <ch3ckm8e> Indiadev_Techie: sudo apt-get install vlc
[02:35] <Chamunks> fevel, sigh i hate windows
[02:35] <fevel> Chamunks, dang
[02:35] <poningru_> ch3ckm8e, he just said he doesnt have internet at home
[02:35] <Chamunks> fevel, if my friend had a nix box i would just ssh
[02:35] <heguru> Indiadev_Techie: you can download the codecs from http://www.medibuntu.org/
[02:36] <fevel> Chamunks, yes
[02:36] <ch3ckm8e> poningru_: if he doesn't have the internet at home how does he expect to install the codecs?
[02:36] <ch3ckm8e> poningru_: i mean download not install
[02:36] <Chamunks> any one know what this could be a password free windows share is having ubuntu ask me for login credentials
[02:36] <fevel> Indiadev_Techie, with internet access you can just click the unsupported media and it will get the codecs online
[02:37] <heguru> Chamunks: are you sure its password free? did you try accessing it from windows?
[02:37] <Chamunks> fevel, sigh i wish this would be easier but windows networking is allways beyond complicated for its issues
[02:37] <poningru_> ch3ckm8e, cause obviously he is connected now....
[02:37] <poningru_> ch3ckm8e, please think before you speak
[02:37] <Chamunks> fevel, sorry i was distracted while i typed that last sentence disregard it :P
[02:37] <fevel> heguru, good idea, try accessing from windows to see if the problem persists Chamunks
[02:37] <Indiadev_Techie> oh man....i m in cybercafe......
[02:37] <Chamunks> heguru, i can check it in my vm
[02:38] <juan__> i have serious problems while sending files though kopete, it is really slow an it usually hangs at 8-20%, any ideas on how to solve this?
[02:38] <Chamunks> heguru, i can see the shares but every time i try getting into one it prompts me
[02:39] <heguru> Chamunks: you can access the share from your windows VM?
[02:39] <fevel> juan__, yes, I guess the protocol isnt stable yet
[02:39] <ch3ckm8e> poningru_: the last time i will refer to this issue, if you read his first post he states he wants to DOWNLOAD the codecs.. thanks for the reminder that i need to think before i speak
[02:39] <Chamunks> heguru, booting now
[02:39] <Chamunks> heguru, its vista so if vista cant talk to vista than theres an issue here lol
[02:39] <fevel> juan__, although there are other methods
[02:39] <heguru> Chamunks: normally vista doesn't allow password free shares by default, and guest account is also disabled
[02:40] <heguru> Chamunks: in other words, its quite difficult to get password free shares in a stock vista without modifying security policy
[02:40] <ch3ckm8e> Chamunks: have you tried the local admin password/?
[02:41] <amadeux> Any users of VirtualBox here? Right now, the virtual network interface is running NAT to the real interface, but I can't connect to servers within virtualbox? How do I do that?
[02:41] <ch3ckm8e> Chamunks: the login:password credentials for the user that created the share or local admin should be able to login to that share
[02:41] <Chamunks> ch3ckm8e, i tried his username he doesent use a password
[02:41] <Chamunks> heguru, we altered the specific folders privelages
[02:42] <heguru> Chamunks: allowing everyone full access does not make it password less
[02:42] <juan__> fevel, what are those other ways?
[02:42] <Chamunks> heguru, true enough
[02:42] <ch3ckm8e> Chamunks: try this, go into Places > Connect To a Server and type in the ip address for the machine. if it prompts you for the password go back into the windows machine and reset the admin password then login with the credentials Administrator:password
[02:43] <heaven> got some partition problems can anyone help me ? please PM me if you got a couple of minutes
[02:43] <heguru> heaven: maybe asking you're question here will be more helpful
[02:43] <fevel> juan__, dont come to mind right now, ask people on the channel, ive chosen a rather complicated way...I create a torrent and share the torrent only, it goes superbly fast.  I wanted to install ubuntu on a 40gb partition, 10 gb swap space, and another 100 GB storage space and now i got in "computer"two floppies from wich one is the 100GB partition but i can't acces it a DVDRW and the filesistem partition wich is 40 GB what should i do at reinstal to make it just right?
[02:45] <ch3ckm8e> Chamunks: then set it with an appropriate password
[02:45] <darkangel> hello
[02:47] <ch3ckm8e> heaven: go into console and type cd /media
[02:47] <heaven> done
[02:47] <ch3ckm8e> heaven: does it list the 100gb partition?
[02:47] <filthpig> hehe, heguru, I'm already on gutsy, I'm asking for a friend of mine
[02:47] <sjordal> hey i'm trying to make a customised install cd set. i'd like it to prompt for a second cd with extra packages
[02:47] <heaven> heaven@Station-Void:~$ cd /media
[02:47] <heaven> heaven@Station-Void:/media$
[02:47] <heaven> heaven@Station-Void:/media$
[02:47] <sjordal> anyone know what i need to modify ? something in preseed?
[02:47] <idleone_> heaven: why do you need/have 10gb swap? usauly swap is 2x RAM
[02:48] <b08y> does someone the ircchannel where i can find totem
[02:48] <heguru> shriphani: any progress with syntax highlighting on vim?
[02:48] <heaven> i dont know
[02:48] <heguru> shriphani: are you gutsy?
[02:48] <ch3ckm8e> heaven: i should've asked first, is the 100gb partition on a seperate harddrive from your ubuntu install?
[02:48] <Chamunks> ch3ckm8e, its not my machine unfortunately i dont get admin rights
[02:48] <idleone_> b08y: sudo apt-get install totem
[02:48] <heaven> no it's all on the same drive

[02:49] <Steven_Laptop> Does anyone no what I need to edit in xorg to kill horz scrolling on this laptop?
[02:49] <ch3ckm8e> heaven: if you are going to create 3 partitions and one of them is going to be 100gb for storage space make sure you set the mount point correctly for that storage space
[02:49] <idleone_> darkangel: yes and support in #ubuntu+1
[02:49] <Chamunks> Im going to try a power cycle of everything
[02:49] <Chamunks> thanks all!
[02:49] <heaven> and wich mount point should i set for the 100 GB storage space?
[02:49] <b08y> idleone_: im talking about where is the totem irchannel
[02:49] <heguru> b08y: i don't think totem has its own irc channel
[02:49] <idleone_> oh
[02:50] <idleone_> #totem maybe
[02:50] <ch3ckm8e> heaven: i dont know.. that mount point is going to be a folder you use to access that partition
[02:50] <ch3ckm8e> heaven: you can use any directory you create
[02:50] <heaven> please explain.... i don't understand so when i have to resize the partitions at ubuntu install what should i do then?
[02:50] <heguru> b08y: if its totem on ubuntu, you can ask here, maybe someone can help
[02:51] <heguru> b08y: you can also try #gstreamer
[02:51] <ch3ckm8e> heaven: first, why are you resizing partitions? are you dual-booting os'es or something similiar?
[02:52] <heaven> no i want the 40 GB linux partition and the other 100 GB partition for me to put movies music software and stuff like that IN LINUX
[02:52] <heaven> understand?
[02:52] <usr13> heaven, Next, use free space for Ubuntu install.
[02:52] <ch3ckm8e> heaven; go into console and type mount and paste what you got

[02:55] <heaven> ...right
[02:55] <heaven> ?
[02:55] <usr13> xubuntuM, What seems to be the problem ?
[02:55] <ch3ckm8e> heaven: this isn't windows. its not going to be C:\ and D:\ it will be /folder/partition1 /folder/partition2
[02:56] <heaven> ok sorry yeah im a ex windows user and where do i find the second partition? and why do i have a 100 GB floppy drive?
[02:56] <b0nza1> ooooooowwwbuuuunnnnntooooooooooo
[02:56] <b0nza1> 100gb floppy ehh
[02:57] <heaven> yeah
[02:57] <b0nza1> hmm sounds kinda big..
[02:57] <heaven> its the other partition
[02:57] <heaven> ;))
[02:57] <heaven> i know
[02:57] <usr13> heaven, partitions are numbered
[02:57] <xubuntuM> usr13: during the install it freez at 6%
[02:57] <usr13> drives are lettered
[02:57] <b0nza1> should be something like /media/disk
[02:58] <ch3ckm8e> bonza1: it is the same device sda
[02:58] <heaven> floppy 1 | floppy drive | CD-RW/DVDRW | Filesystem
[02:58] <xubuntuM> usr13: in step hardwar configuration it freeses at 6% (tmr290)
[02:58] <heaven> this is what i have in computer
[02:58] <usr13> heaven, An IDE drive will be hda    A scsi drive will be sda   partition one will be hda1  or sda1
[02:59] <ch3ckm8e> heaven: you have 2 partitions sda2 and sda3 go look in mount
[02:59] <heaven> look where?
[02:59] <ch3ckm8e> heaven: in terminal type mount

[02:59] <heaven> ok can you tell me if i reinstall what exactly should i set as mount point for each one to work just as expected?
[03:01] <usr13> heaven, That is an open-ended question.  It all depends on the hard drive space you have compared to your plans for using the system.
[03:01] <opexoc> How is called program to add new programs to menu Aplications?
[03:01] <ch3ckm8e> heaven: if you reinstall you can choose what you set the mount point as.. it is up to you but i would recommend you set the mount point for the 100 gb partition to be /JUNK to make it completely idiot proof
[03:01] <ch3ckm8e> heaven: once you boot up ubuntu you can see that you will indeed have a 100gb folder named JUNK under /
[03:02] <heguru> shriphani: incase you are still here, you have to edit /etc/vimrc and uncomment syntax on
[03:02] <ch3ckm8e> heguru: why do we do it? why do we help people :P
[03:03] <ch3ckm8e> heaven: check out ULTIMATE UBUNTU i think you will find it to your liking
[03:03] <heguru> ch3ckm8e: ah! I ask that myself everyday
[03:03] <MohammadBoozary> HaniHashemi: Salam :d
[03:03] <Pici> ch3ckm8e: Ultimate Ubuntu isn't an official Ubuntu version.
[03:03] <ch3ckm8e> Asalamwailakum!
[03:03] <ch3ckm8e> Pici: and your point?
[03:03] <heguru> ch3ckm8e: Walikumsalam
[03:04] <MohammadBoozary> HaniHashemi: mibini cheghad inja user dareh ?!
[03:04] <aguitel> ch3ckm8e: what is ultimate ubuntu?
[03:04] <Pici> ch3ckm8e: My point is that we'll be hard pressed to provide support for that.
[03:04] <ch3ckm8e> heguru: where are you located? Im in Alpharetta, Georgia and im 19
[03:05] <ch3ckm8e> aguitel: everything.. it has so many packages it needs to be on a dvd.. but its cool cuz you can install the gamers edition..

[03:06] <aguitel> ch3ckm8e: where i can get it?

[03:06] <ch3ckm8e> Pici: i apoligize for going off topic
[03:06] <aguitel> ch3ckm8e: ok

[03:07] <cberl1> Hi folks.  I was trying to use Sabayon and Pessulus yesterday and it appears to have done something to my default desktop settings -- I get a default GNOME icon set, a panel with nothing on it (and about two inches wide), no default background, etc.  I think this has to do with gconf, but I can't seem to find out how to set it back to "defaults".
[03:07] <darkchr0n0s_> anyone knows, why i cannot resume some torrents in deluge.... it's just paused and won't resume :(
[03:07] <heguru> cberl1: this is #ubuntu support channel
[03:07] <aguitel> ch3ckm8e: i think there will be version gutsy in this ultimate
[03:07] <zimmy__> my usb keyboard wont load on startup? do i need to add a usb to the kernel?
[03:07] <cberl1> heguru: Good.  Then I'm in the right place.
[03:08] <ch3ckm8e> aguitel; im using it right now ;)
[03:08] <cberl1> !sabayon
[03:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sabayon - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[03:08] <Pici> cberl1: While you are in the right place, I think you'll find better support for those programs from a gnome channel, irc.gnome.org I believe.
[03:08] <aguitel> ch3ckm8e: fesity version?
[03:08] <aguitel> ch3ckm8e: feisty version?
[03:09] <cberl1> Pici: Fine.  But Sabayon works just fine in Fedora and Debian.  This IS an Ubuntu issue....
[03:09] <ch3ckm8e> aguitel: get 1.5.. and then you can upgrade it to the version of your liking later
[03:09] <Pici> heguru: Saybayon is the name of a distro and also the name of a profile lockdown application.
[03:09] <Pici> cberl1: hmm.
[03:09] <Pici> cberl1: On Feisty or Gutsy?
[03:09] <aguitel> ch3ckm8e: a ok
[03:09] <aguitel> ch3ckm8e: is live dvd too ?
[03:09] <cberl1> Feisty.

[03:09] <heguru> Pici: oh, my bad
[03:10] <ch3ckm8e> aguitel: please check your pms
[03:10] <Pici> heguru: It confused me at first too :)
[03:10] <aguitel> ch3ckm8e: what is pms?
[03:10] <cyrano> Hi.  I think it has with parts of my hardisk being read only mode... but i don't really know or what to do. I haven't done anything special. it just happened. Please help
[03:10] <usr13>  To get gnome specific support try ##gnome channel  e.g.  /join ##gnome
[03:10] <ch3ckm8e> aguitel: lol.. yes its a live dvd email me at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>i would like to know your thoughts
[03:10] <Ubersoldat> AJ--: check your dmesg and syslog to check out for posible errors
[03:11] <Pici> usr13: gnome has their own IRC server, afaik they dont have any official channels on freenode.
[03:11] <AJ--> Ubersoldat: how can i check that
[03:11] <Ubersoldat> just type dmesg
[03:11] <dooglus> I just turned the brightness down on my laptop by hitting the 'brightness down' button, but the 'brightness up' button doesn't turn it back up again.
[03:12] <dooglus> I can barely read the screen now - how can I turn the brightness back up?
[03:12] <AJ--> ok its in terminal ryt
[03:12] <dooglus> please highlight me in any replies so I can see what you say
[03:13] <usr13> Pici I think you are wrong.
[03:13] <Ubersoldat> yes
[03:13] <Ubersoldat> on a terminal
[03:13] <Pici> usr13: Examples?
[03:13] <dooglus> maybe there's a gui or command line ay of changing the brightness?
[03:13] <usr13> Pici, not important
[03:13] <ch3ckm8e> lol any thoughts on dooglus?
[03:14] <cberl1> So....    I can't even find any info for Sabayon googling it with (aside from the distro)
[03:14] <nicolas_> salut a tous!
[03:14] <Ubersoldat> cberl1: not to gnome, but to the gnome irc server where most of the projects have their own room
[03:14] <fernando_> & games
[03:15] <usr13> cberl1, We would be glad to help you, but our knowledge about gnome is less than what you'll find on the ##gnome channel
[03:15] <cberl1> Right.  Even though this is a Ubuntu issue.  (As I mentioned, Sabayon works the way I was using it.  Just not on Ubuntu)
[03:15] <usr13> cberl1, But you are welcome to ask your questions.

[03:16] <usr13> cberl1, I'm quite sure that if anyone knew how to do that, they would have told you by now.  If you will type    /join ##gnome   and ask again, you might get a better answer.
[03:17] <cberl1> usr13: Fair enough.
[03:17] <heguru> cberl1: WAIT, i found out!

[03:41] <gautada> usr13: No not working I am trying to figure out which package provided "/usr/bin/gnome-keyboard-properties" and %>apt-cache search /usr/bin/gnome-keyboard-properties turned up nothing.
[03:41] <Evanlec> who wants to help me compile a custom kernel today?? :) :)
[03:41] <cosmodad> usr13: doesn't make a difference...
[03:41] <beanage> Quick Q&A, can you install compize or beryl on ubuntu 6?
[03:41] <Satyr> Hi
[03:41] <Evanlec> lol
[03:42] <genii> Pici: :)
[03:42] <ch3ckm8e> octman: im sorry go into /dev and type ls sd* for sata or hd* for ide
[03:42] <beanage> .
[03:42] <cosmodad> usr13: n/m used a broken package
[03:42] <stib> Anyone know how to get alsamixer up and running?
[03:42] <kimmey> @gnome
[03:42] <kimmey> ] gnome
[03:43] <Connor> Why isn't IP masking set as a default flag set
[03:43] <mr_marvin> hello. i bought new HD, and use win xp/ubuntu. what do you guggest? ntfs or fat32?
[03:43] <Evanlec> beanage, sure
[03:43] <jrib> mr_marvin: ext3
[03:43] <kimmey> mr_marvin: nfts
[03:43] <ch3ckm8e> mr_marvin: ntfs for windows
[03:44] <beanage> evanlec, k. just making sure it wasn't some sort of 64 bit thing.
[03:44] <jrib> !ext3 > mr_marvin (read the private message from ubotu)
[03:44] <jatt> !ntfs-3g
[03:44] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[03:44] <beanage> Evan, you know where I could get a man for that?
[03:44] <usr13> gautada,  apt-cache search keyboard |grep gnome
[03:44] <Connor> jones
[03:44] <Evanlec> beanage, no, nothing requires 64-bit :) some software requires 32-bit tho
[03:44] <Connor> What character flag is IP masking
[03:44] <Evanlec> !compiz | beanage
[03:44] <ubotu> beanage: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[03:44] <beanage> Evanlec, googles not turning up much but feisty fawn crap.
[03:44] <genii> mr_marvin: If you will have some shared partition I recommend using ext2 and ext driver for windows from fs-driver.org    Various reasons
[03:45] <mr_marvin> i would like to share that disk between win/linux. is ntfs support 100% reliable?
[03:45] <beanage> !compiz | beanage
[03:45] <jones> hi! question about grub. anyone good about it?
[03:45] <jatt> mr_marvin: yes
[03:45] <ch3ckm8e> mr_marvin: you shouldnt have a problem sharing an ntfs partition unless its thru a usb drive
[03:45] <jatt> mr_marvin: ntfs-3g is stable
[03:45] <mr_marvin> genii: thank you. i'll se more details
[03:45] <ch3ckm8e> jones: what are you trying to accomplish
[03:46] <jrib> mr_marvin: it's reverse engineered... I would rather go with ext3
[03:46] <Evanlec> beanage, i think beryl might suit your version better, im not sure about compiz on dapper, try here http://forum.beryl-project.org/
[03:46] <genii> jrib: Exactly
[03:46] <o00w> in directory structure what does the tilda represent?
[03:46] <Pici> o00w: your home directory
[03:46] <beanage> evanlec, kewl thanks. mind if I ask you a couple other quick ubuntu questions
[03:46] <Pici> o00w: ~/Documents = /home/pici/Documents
[03:46] <Evanlec> beanage, if i can answer them i will
[03:47] <octman> where to is dev lol
[03:47] <jones> ch3ckm8e: after kernelubdate grub does not work, reconfigure menu.lst...is hda5 (second partition) always hd0,4 or could it be hd0,1?
[03:47] <beanage> evanlec, Like how do I update my video card driver? or How can I change my resolution?
[03:47] <Evanlec> beanage, what kinda vid card ya got?
[03:48] <benzon> How do i add More Workspaces only got 2 right now and i want 4 if possible
[03:48] <jatt> right click on the workspaces->Preferences
[03:48] <Evanlec> benzon, right click on the panel applet and preferences
[03:48] <beanage> evanlec, Let me look it up right quick it's a averatec laptop 3700 (ed1)
[03:48] <Evanlec> k
[03:48] <Evanlec> never heard of that brand lol
[03:48] <o00w> Pici: so this screensaver electricsheep wants me to save files @ ~/.sheep but thats not possible...I was under the impression a directory cannot contain a . in the first char
[03:49] <Pici> o00w: Nope, directories can start with a .
[03:49] <ch3ckm8e> jones: dunno? anyone else familiar with a grub??
[03:49] <Evanlec> o00w, directories under your home folder with a . are quite common, they are just hidden from view by default
[03:49] <mr_marvin> ok, one general question: what are chances of rendering hd completely unusable by error in some file sistem driver?
[03:49] <ch3ckm8e> anyone know the proper way to install and configure vmware server on ubuntu??
[03:50] <Pici> o00w: If you are using nautilus you can use ctrl-h to show them or on the terminal ls -a
[03:50] <ch3ckm8e> nvm
[03:50] <Evanlec> !vmware | ch3ckm8e
[03:50] <benzon> Evanlec, thx :) - and now ill do a bug report for all the ati users and gutsy hehe  :) - just found out that if you install the ATI Driver - that Compiz stops working hehe
[03:50] <ubotu> ch3ckm8e: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[03:50] <beanage> Evanlec, if I was using windows I would use run and through up dxdiag to get a direct X diagnostic, how do I do that on linux?
[03:50] <beanage> or something to let me know what it thinks I'm running
[03:51] <benedikt> Can i use LVM to mirror two discs?
[03:51] <benedikt> Like raid.. That is, if one disc fails, you still got your whole data. You jsut change the failed disc and the new one becomes a mirror too
[03:51] <Evanlec> benzon, i found using the default ati driver worked better with compiz (atleast on feisty)
[03:51] <Evanlec> beanage, you can try 'lspci' on the command line
[03:51] <kanjo> cho, can some1 here show me how to install epiphany-webkit?
[03:51] <Matic`Makovec> Hello there. I need some help, urgent! Would anyone have an idea what to do about this? http://pastebin.com/m43f16e41
[03:51] <Evanlec> benedikt, surely
[03:52] <octman> thanks ch3ckm8e
[03:52] <beanage> Evan, I'm guessing it's a Via onboard video card.
[03:52] <rpj8> Hey guys, where do the install scripts get sent when you add them to startup via the gnome gui session manager
[03:52] <o00w> Pici: so when I create a directory with a . in the beginning, after I refresh the folder has gone...does it move to the previous folder?
[03:52] <kanjo> Matic`Makovec: best way is to remove mysql-client and mysql-server, then reinstall
[03:52] <benzon> Evanlec >> so you wood say go and get the ati .run file and just install that or?
[03:53] <rpj8> o00w: adding a . in front of files or folders makes them private
[03:53] <Forage1> Aaah.. Good Morning.  How can I sieze ownership of files and folders from owner: root?
[03:53] <Matic`Makovec> Hrm, alright kanjo.
[03:53] <Pici> o00w: no '..' denotes parent directory.  If you name a file or folder .name its just hidden
[03:53] <vinnie_> Any1 using kiba dock and knows how to stop the icons from going into a spinning frenzy when doing mouseover? :(
[03:53] <punsad> Forage1: as root, use the chmod and chown commands to reassign ownsership/permissions
[03:53] <rpj8> Forage: sudo chown user file
[03:54] <JimQode> Forage1, run nautilus as root
[03:54] <rpj8> Hey guys, where do the install scripts get sent when you add them to startup via the gnome gui session manager
[03:54] <jones> question about grub, anyone good in this?
[03:54] <Evanlec> benzon, no i would say do a 'sudo dpkg reconfigure xorg-xserver' and select the ATI when it asks for video card driver
[03:54] <Evanlec> benzon, or simply turn off ati binary driver under restrictedd drivers manager
[03:54] <Evanlec> benzon, and reboot
[03:55] <beanage> Evanlec >> So how do I update the video card drivers? Or use linux to check what it thinks I'm using?
[03:55] <Forage1> Wow.. awesome!  I'll read the man on chmod and chown to work that out.  Next question: How can I change the order of items in the GRUB bootloader list?
[03:55] <benzon> Evanlec ill try that :) i manged to remove the restricet driver before and now Compiz adleest works opening windows aint to good and can crash the desktop if used to mutch so have to shut that off
[03:56] <Evanlec> beanage, you know how to open the terminal?
[03:56] <rpj8> Forage1:
[03:56] <rpj8> Forage1: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-newbie/7324-how-do-i-change-boot-order-grub.html
[03:56] <rpj8> Forage1: A little bit of google goes a long way :)
[03:56] <Evanlec> benzon, support for it is a little flakey, i'd try compiz-fusion or talk to the guys in #compiz-fusion
[03:56] <ch3ckm8e> rpj8: couldn't have said it better.. we should put that in TOPIC
[03:56] <beanage> Evan>> yes I do
[03:56] <stib> forage look at /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:57] <Evanlec> beanage, try typing lspci at your terminal
[03:57] <rpj8> ch3ckm8e: Heh.
[03:57] <Forage1> Terrific!  THanks everyone!
[03:57] <beanage> Evan>> k, big read back
[03:57] <benzon> Evanlec >> It works adleest tho on Gutsy :)
[03:57] <Evanlec> Forage1, lol, you're a model ubuntu user ;)
[03:57] <benzon> Evanlec >> Aint perfect but way better then the others i tryed
[03:58] <Evanlec> beanage, yea, see if u can find something that looks like your vid card
[03:58] <Evanlec> benzon, yea that seemed to be my experience with ATI and compiz as well...nvidia drivers still much better supported under linux, tho that is changing now that ati has finaly released their driver source
[03:58] <beanage> Evenlec>> Apparently the drivers are correct, but my resolution is like 640x480
[03:59] <beanage> Evanlec>> maybe 800x600, but how do I change it from console?
[03:59] <jones> about menu.lst: is hda5 (1st disk, second partition) always hd0,4 or could it be hd0,1?
[03:59] <beanage> err terminal
[03:59] <tvvladimir> hi
[03:59] <tvvladimir> anyone here ever tried running Solidworks on Ubuntu?
[03:59] <Evanlec> beanage, okay, well, here's where you get to edit your xorg.conf file...and trust me you'll probably do it atleast a few times before you get things right :)
[03:59] <aata> hey can anyone telll me what xpde is?
[03:59] <aata> !xpde
[03:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xpde - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:00] <Evanlec> beanage, its a lot of fun trust me lol....*sarcasm*
[04:00] <beanage> Evanlec>> hehe did it once and killed my gui
[04:00] <Evanlec> aata, google probly could
[04:00] <stib> !alsamixer
[04:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about alsamixer - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:00] <stib> !alsa
[04:00] <beanage> evanlec>> is it under etc/apt/ ?
[04:00] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[04:00] <jones> !grub
[04:00] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:01] <Evanlec> beanage, the rescue from that is 'sudo dpkg reconfigure xorg-server' from the terminal
[04:01] <Evanlec> !resolution | beanage
[04:01] <ubotu> beanage: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[04:01] <beanage> evanlec>> hehe yeah thats how I wound up with this crazy resolution.
[04:01] <Evanlec> start there, i'll look at your xorg.conf if u need
[04:02] <XTaran> Hi, what's Ubuntu's replacement for reportbug?
[04:02] <Evanlec> XTaran, launchpad
[04:02] <Evanlec> i believe
[04:02] <Mark7> Hey everyone.  Is there a "Get Linux" campaign?  Other than Steve Balmer's I mean?
[04:02] <Pici> XTaran: apport automagically reports bugs when things crash, and points you at launchpad.net
[04:02] <XTaran> which launchpad doesn't output anything
[04:02] <Mark7> YOu know, like the Firefox one
[04:03] <rpj8> Hey guys, where do the install scripts get sent when you add them to startup via the gnome gui session manager
[04:03] <XTaran> Pici: Ok, "apport" looks like a point to start searching for more infos. Thx.
[04:04] <beanage> Evan, so you want me to try running the xserver reinstall?
[04:04] <genii> Mark7: Well, thats a bit offtopic for this channel which is mainly geared to tech support
[04:04] <Evanlec> beanage, not reinstall but reconfigure, but read this page first: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[04:04] <beanage> kk
[04:04] <Mark7> This is tech support?
[04:04] <rpj8> Mark7: Yes
[04:04] <Mark7> I thought it was just general Ubuntu chat
[04:05] <aata> !xfce
[04:05] <ubotu> xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[04:05] <Pici> Mark7: Thats #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:05] <Mark7> Where's General?
[04:05] <Mark7> Right
[04:05] <Evanlec> Mark7, but we are also part of the get linux campaign, because without support from these people here, ppl wouldnt be too happy with ubuntu guaranteed
[04:05] <dr3w2morow> I just got my linux and im needing flashplayer 9 but when i fownloaded it through the synpatic manager that flashsomething-nonfree
[04:05] <dr3w2morow> i install it
[04:05] <dr3w2morow> and it still wont work>
[04:05] <Mark7> K.  I'll ask there
[04:05] <aata> uh will installing xfce require me to install new programs? and can i install it w/o installing xubuntu?
[04:06] <toker> does anyone know, why i keep getting i.p adresess, exactly the same as mine except from the last 3 digits are diff, trying to connect to smb (137,138)
[04:06] <Evanlec> aata, you can install xfce and any number of other window managers and switch between them at login
[04:06] <aata> thought so..
[04:06] <aata> thanks evanlec
[04:06] <Evanlec> aata, however if you like and prefer xfce its best to use xubuntu
[04:07] <aata> i just want to test out xfce, and see if i like it
[04:07] <Evanlec> since everything works together a little nicer from the get-go
[04:07] <John117> Hey everybody, I'd like to ask a few questions if I may.  I'm brand new with ubuntu and I'm having trouble with the installation.
[04:07] <Evanlec> aata, you can do that without fear then
[04:07] <aata> cause i dont have any system resource issues as such... so if xfce gives me the look, thats all i want
[04:08] <Matic`Makovec> Err...hey there. Any ideas about this thingie? http://pastebin.com/m43f16e41 (removing mysql-server doesn't help really)
[04:08] <mozjonathan> hi ; is suspend2 (aka tuxonice) included in the default gutsy kernel ?
[04:08] <Pici> aata: Whats the problem with installing xubuntu-desktop?
[04:08] <WaltzingAlong> mozjonathan: i do not think so
[04:08] <aata> i dont know... i guess ill have to put in the effort of finding new apps for everything
[04:08] <John117>  I'm going to wait a minute for you guys to catch up with your questions then I'd like to ask one.  Just let me know.  Thanks! :)
[04:09] <Evanlec> !gutsy | mozjonathan
[04:09] <ubotu> mozjonathan: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, and as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1 | See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyGibbon for more information
[04:09] <fritzs> John117 ask away.
[04:09] <genii> !ask John117
[04:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask john117 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:09] <genii> !ask | John117
[04:09] <ubotu> John117: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:09] <Pici> aata: You can install the xubuntu-desktop package on top of Ubuntu/Kubuntu, it won't hurt anything.
[04:09] <mozjonathan> Evanlec, WaltzingAlong okay, thanks
[04:10] <XTaran> I have to register to report bugs?!?
[04:10] <aata> and i can run gnome apps (banshee fspot etc.) with no trouble?
[04:10] <John117> Okay.  Toshiba Celeron 1.4ghz laptop 512memory 40g hd.  Installing Ubuntu from CD burned yesterday.  6.xx desktop version.  Hangs at 72% of installation every time.  the 7.xx version does not even start up past the main menu screen.  Am I doing something wrong?
[04:10] <betim> hi, I have this new version of ubuntu, and when I select normal visual effects my metacity is gone, I don't want to use emerald, so what should I do?
[04:10] <WaltzingAlong> aata: you can use kde, gnome, xfce, and so on (like fluxbox and others) then run the apps you normally use like fspot or amarok or so on
[04:10] <murlidhar> can anybody make a binary package of a great torrent client called linkage i have used it in fedora unfortunately it does not have any binary package for ubuntu. If anyone can help the author by building a binary package for ubuntu
[04:10] <fritzs> aata, xfce is a window manager, those applications rely on libraries that (while associated with the window manager) don't require the window manager to be running.
[04:11] <aata> ah thanks for clearing that up fritzs
[04:12] <_Andrew> murlidhar: If you have an rpm you could use alien to make it into a deb
[04:12] <murlidhar> _Andrew: i did that it is not working
[04:12] <Evanlec> murlidhar, you could also make one yourself, but thats beyond the scope of support for this channel i believe
[04:12] <murlidhar> Evanlec: i am a noob
[04:12] <aata> also, is alien a foolproof way of converting rpm => deb?
[04:12] <Evanlec> murlidhar, have you tried Deluge?
[04:12] <fritzs> murlidhar: check out deluge in the apt repositories.
[04:12] <Evanlec> aata, hardly
[04:13] <murlidhar> Evanlec: yes i have
[04:13] <WaltzingAlong> !info deluge-torrent
[04:13] <aata> so what could go wrong? corrupt files?
[04:13] <ubotu> Package deluge-torrent does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[04:13] <Evanlec> murlidhar, whats not to like? ;p
[04:13] <cVsup> i need change usplash in ubuntu 7.04
[04:13] <Evanlec> aata, any number of things, its certainly not foolproof, maybe not corrupted files, but certainly breakage
[04:13] <XTaran> How should I report bugs if the reporting tool has a bug? *grrr*
[04:13] <XTaran> # apport-cli -f -p schedutils
[04:13] <XTaran> Could not import module, is a package upgrade in progress? Error: No module named xdg.DesktopEntry
[04:13] <aata> i see
[04:14] <murlidhar> Evanlec: but i felt linkage was working better plus it is light weight
[04:14] <aata> !upsplash
[04:14] <WaltzingAlong> manually via launchpad
[04:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about upsplash - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:14] <genii> John117: It does not sound like you are doing anything strange during install. Some hardware especially SATA controllers or odd chipsets can give occasional grief.
[04:14] <usr13> murlidhar, apt-cache search linkage
[04:14] <cVsup> somebody can help me?
[04:14] <XTaran> Ok, my error, package name seems to have changed with gutsy...
[04:14] <John117> genii, do you have any recomendqations?
[04:14] <fritzs> John117:  It sounds like some sort of hardware issue, you're probably not doing anything wrong.  Try 7.10 in a few days if you don't want to devel into the internals of the operating system.
[04:14] <erUSUL> murlidhar: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Teams/Torrent <<<< there is an effort there to package it
[04:14] <WaltzingAlong> !usplash | cVsup
[04:14] <ubotu> cVsup: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[04:14] <Evanlec> murlidhar, you may be right, but to compile it and install from source probably wouldnt be worth your effort, but look and see if it already has a package for ubuntu
[04:15] <John117> fritzs thanks!
[04:15] <sanguisdex> how can I get my dell laptop to recativate the screen when I open the lid
[04:15] <dr3w2morow> I need flash player on my linux for school... i downloaded the flashplugin-nonfree and it doesnt work? can anyone help me?
[04:15] <XTaran> But the error message is quite misleading...
[04:15] <cVsup> WaltzingAlong, but this manual not work in feisty
[04:15] <Evanlec> John117, try the alternate install cd
[04:15] <XTaran> But the right package name gets the same error:
[04:15] <XTaran> # apport-cli -f -p util-linux
[04:15] <XTaran> Could not import module, is a package upgrade in progress? Error: No module named xdg.DesktopEntry
[04:16] <murlidhar> Evanlec: there has been no package built for ubuntu http://code.google.com/p/linkage/
[04:16] <John117>  I'm trying really hard to get rid of windows.  I tried to do a dual boot on my laptop. If i like it, i'll do my desktop, But when it hung at 72%, it @#$ed my laptop so i had to wipe the whole HD. Now I'm VERY wary about trying it on the desktop.
[04:16] <genii> John117: If possible make sure the bios of your computer is set to use SATA drives in what may be "Compatability" or "IDE" mode. More likely to progress further along with install if SATA is the issue. If you have one of the ALternate install CDs  and are doing text install, you can switch to see what error msgs are being generated by alt-f4, these can be enlightening also
[04:17] <John117> Okay!  Alternat instal CD??
[04:17] <murlidhar> Evanlec: i tried to compile it but failed miserably
[04:17] <dr3w2morow> John117: when it boots up go to the system set up and change it to go to your cd-rom before it goes to hard drive... then turn off your computer and when it reloads press your Boot button (probably F12) and press it until it comes up with the install cd that you plugged in
[04:17] <John117> I just burned the one on the website.
[04:17] <genii> John117: If you google something like "laptopname" ubuntu install           you may find some issues addressed on ubuntuforums or similar as well
[04:17] <Evanlec> murlidhar, if you're relatively new to this stuff...i would say dont bother
[04:18] <Evanlec> John117, look on the website again, there is an "alternate" install CD that is a text-based installer but in my opinion is much better than the normal install cd, has much less trouble with hardware usualy
[04:18] <John117> dr3w2morro, when i boot, i press f12 for the boot menu and select CD-ROM.  It boots fine, then i select "Try ubuntu/Install" and it loads fine.  Then i click "install" and it hangs at 72%
[04:18] <WaltzingAlong> John117: there are several from the website. alternate is just for installing through a text interface. the live or desktop ones boot to a kde or gnome session and from there you install or just play
[04:19] <genii> John117: The same location which you got the regular iso, you can check a box near bottom to get Alternate iso instead
[04:19] <murlidhar> Evanlec: i am not that new in compiling from source but this gives me a headache since first u have to compile libtorrent and then compile linkage
[04:19] <John117> Thanks guys.  Very helpful.   More so thank macrosofts tech support :p
[04:19] <Evanlec> murlidhar, yea, see you probly know more about it than me ;p
[04:19] <moppit> Howdy
[04:20] <WaltzingAlong> so in the end you may find that it is just easier to use azureus or any of the other torrent clients/servers (peers) murlidhar
[04:20] <murlidhar> Evanlec: don't know about u but i am a noobie
[04:20] <Evanlec> WaltzingAlong, the alternate cd may allow him to get thru the install process tho, since itrequires less resources
[04:21] <Evanlec> murlidhar, i am too with compiling stuff
[04:21] <jefones> hi
[04:21] <WaltzingAlong> low
[04:21] <murlidhar> WaltzingAlong: no i would like to have a lightweight torrent client for my slow pc
[04:21] <John117> The bios, unfortunately, does not list anything about the transfer mode of the CD-rom or conroller.  I'll try the other options. Thanks all.
[04:21] <breakin> Stupid question, but what version of the linux kernel will be in 7.10? Only thing I could get from the beta-page was "Ubuntu includes the latest Linux kernel, featuring dynticks." which was included in the 2.6.21-kernel... would like to know where to find out these things for myself the next time as well...
[04:22] <WaltzingAlong> breakin: 2.6.22 i think
[04:22] <Pici> breakin: 2.6.22-14
[04:22] <erUSUL> breakin: 2.6.22 heavily patched as allways with ubuntu
[04:22] <breakin> Thanks a lot, that's what I wanted to hear (2.6.22-something)!
[04:23] <Evanlec> is  the -something mean the heavily patched part?
[04:23] <Evanlec> just wondering
[04:23] <genii> John117: Are you using a PPc by any chance?
[04:23] <Evanlec> am wanting to do a custom compile
[04:24] <Spec> How do I disable screen blackout/screensavers/any power management function at all?
[04:24] <dr3w2morow> Guys can anyone msg me with flash player help?
[04:24] <kahrytan> Spec,  why?
[04:24] <erUSUL> Evanlec: no really is just an internal versioning of ubuntu
[04:24] <Spec> kahrytan: i'm in a lab with 30 computers, and we seem to notice that when screens black out/screen saver is activated, it crashes the central server
[04:25] <Spec> it's an ltsp-like lab
[04:25] <Pici> Spec: odd.
[04:25] <incorrect> has anyone got the vpnc client to connect to a cisco vpn?
[04:25] <erUSUL> Evanlec: most add on patches of ubuntu are out of tree drivers
[04:25] <Evanlec> erUSUL, oh, but it does refer to ubuntu-specific patches to the kernel then?
[04:25] <Spec> i agree, i'm sure there's a CLI way to disable screensavers/screen blackouts, right?
[04:25] <WaltzingAlong> dr3w2morow: you installed through the ubuntu.com repositories and which browser?
[04:25] <Evanlec> erUSUL, i see
[04:25] <Pici> Spec: Do you mean xscreensavers or the cli blackouts?
[04:25] <Evanlec> erUSUL, and that provides all the automagick hardware support right?
[04:26] <dr3w2morow> WaltzingAlong: they told me to install flashplugin-nonfree so i did and im using firefox
[04:26] <Spec> Pici: it's not CLI, i haven't seen the problem myself, i was told to disable all power management features as well as the screen savers
[04:26] <hi_hello_nice> explain me something? Someone on irc says "bye, your internet will shut down haha". And 2 seconds later it does. How does someone do that?
[04:26] <Spec> so....both?
[04:26] <erUSUL> Evanlec: it does not mean "we patched it 14 times" its just the 14th "final build" they made afaics
[04:26] <jatt> hi_hello_nice: which irc client do you use?
[04:26] <hi_hello_nice> mirc
[04:26] <Pici> Spec: Is this accross multiple users?
[04:26] <WaltzingAlong> dr3w2morow: ok and what happens then when you visit a website using flash?
[04:26] <Spec> Pici: yes
[04:26] <Spec> Pici: 30 :p
[04:27] <erUSUL> hi_hello_nice: maybe a DDoS ??
[04:27] <jatt> hi_hello_nice: use another irc client.
[04:27] <LadyNikon> uh oh
[04:27] <LadyNikon> kde upgrade heh
[04:27] <hi_hello_nice> jatt: uh? how mirc is vulnerable?
[04:27] <LadyNikon> mirc has tons of those. heh
[04:27] <erUSUL> hi_hello_nice: so it was on windows ;P
[04:27] <Pici> Spec: Do you need to do it from the cli?
[04:27] <hi_hello_nice> show me one?
[04:27] <dr3w2morow> WAltzingalong: it says its not turned on or i dont have the flash player 9 and it takes me to they adobe site but when i try and download it there i get stuck at the litte place where it says Add Extract folders stuff
[04:27] <Evanlec> erUSUL, interesting...was looking at this page...thot maybe i'd give it a shot:    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158&highlight=master+kernel
[04:28] <pierre__> hi everybody
[04:28] <John117> genii, what is PPc?
[04:28] <Spec> i was thinking maybe killall gnome-screensaver and chmod -x `which gnome-screensaver`
[04:28] <Pici> Spec: If not, you could try using sabayon/pessalus
[04:28] <pierre__> everyone can help me with acpi fonction
[04:28] <Pici> Spec: or disabling the xscreensaver/gnomescreenaver daemon
[04:28] <WaltzingAlong> dr3w2morow: after installing flashplugin-nonfree you need to close the browser then start it again.
[04:28] <cy_`> hi
[04:28] <cy_`> what's a good cpu/memory stress/performance test-tool?
[04:28] <Evanlec> hi_hello_nice, mIRC is Terrible in my opinion, use x-chat
[04:28] <erUSUL> Evanlec: i use vanilla kernels myself (just built and run 2.6.23 final ;))
[04:28] <Pici> cy_`: cpuburn
[04:29] <dr3w2morow> waltzing along: u mean i need to install and unistall firefox?
[04:29] <John117> cy_` Sandra by Sysoft is good.  I don't know if they have a Linux version though.
[04:29] <Spec>  Pici: how do i disable the screensaver per user?
[04:29] <addos> what is the easiest way to get ALL the source of a particular ubuntu release?
[04:29] <Evanlec> erUSUL, by vanilla you mean without any patches (ubuntu or otherwise) ?
[04:29] <WaltzingAlong> dr3w2morow: no just close firefox then start it again.
[04:29] <Pici> Spec: Theres probably a gconf key.
[04:29] <Spec> Pici: crap
[04:29] <Kenny3> how can i change to kde in ubuntu studio?
[04:29] <WaltzingAlong> Evanlec: that is what erUSUL should mean
[04:29] <dr3w2morow> waltzingalong: i do but youtube still wont work?

[04:30] <ripper> hi all, i'm having problem with X Server trying to run nvidia driver for geforce go 7400
[04:30] <WaltzingAlong> dr3w2morow: which version does this command show? aptitude show flashplugin-nonfree | grep Version
[04:30] <erUSUL> Evanlec: the one from kernel.org... no patches (i compile the nvidia module and my wifi card driver though)
[04:30] <Ballena> Evanlec: ok. But it dosent show up in gparted :/
[04:31] <Evanlec> Pici, he wants a benchmark tool tho, not a burn-in
[04:31] <Pici> Evanlec: ah
[04:31] <ripper> i installed the nvidia driver using Envy, and when i reboot X server crashed
[04:31] <WaltzingAlong> !envy
[04:31] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[04:31] <Evanlec> erUSUL, interesting, and why do you do it that way im curious
[04:31] <dr3w2morow> waltzingalong: u mean what version in the sunaptic manager?
[04:31] <Evanlec> Ballena, it should....if it doesnt something may be wrong
[04:31] <WaltzingAlong> dr3w2morow: could be there too. otherwise open a vterminal, type (paste) those commands
[04:31] <Ballena> Evanlec: ok
[04:32] <dr3w2morow> Waltzingalong: what commands? sorry new to this loinux
[04:32] <ripper> can someone please help me with this? i can no longer enable desktop effects...i'm running ubuntu feisty fawn
[04:32] <erUSUL> Evanlec: i like to build my own kernels (done so from my early days in linux) and report problems ...
[04:33] <addos> is there a package on the repository of all the source for a ubuntu distribution?
[04:33] <ripper> can someone help with my above problem please
[04:33] <Evanlec> erUSUL, well thats what i want to do as well, but im confused as to whether i should install any patches or not

[04:34] <flokuehn> hi all
[04:34] <Evanlec> addos, ALL the source? what you're asking for would be immense in proportion
[04:34] <erUSUL> Evanlec: depends on the hardware you got mainly
[04:34] <genii> ripper: You able to get into X at all?
[04:34] <pierre__> someone can help me with acpi
[04:34] <addos> Evanlec: how so?
[04:34] <flokuehn> i want to create an iso file of a cd
[04:34] <HentaiSushi> hello i am trying to install 7.04 ... again.  im having trouble with the partitioning
[04:34] <flokuehn> what application can do this
[04:34] <addos> Evanlec: I routinely build FreeBSD, why can't I rebuild Ubuntu from source?
[04:34] <Evanlec> addos, Ubuntu is a distribution of linux, which means it uses a linux kernel (the core) and a set of software that works together, so im not sure what you're asking
[04:35] <nrdb> flokuehn: you can use the command 'dd'
[04:35] <_Andrew> addos: I think all the source code is 100 gig compressed
[04:35] <addos> interesting
[04:35] <flokuehn> nrdb: thank you
[04:35] <Evanlec> addos, do you mean the linux kernel? i think that must be what you mean
[04:35] <ripper> genii: no i can't get into X at all, unless i change the Driver "nv" in xorg.conf, basically as long as i don't use "nvidia" as the Driver in xorg.conf, i can get into X
[04:35] <addos> no
[04:35] <genii> flokuehn: Simplest is from a terminal. Just do:   sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom ~/filename.iso
[04:35] <addos> I mean, the source for all the userland and kernel
[04:35] <addos> aka, the whole distribution
[04:35] <senhor> someone help-me
[04:35] <Evanlec> addos, well like _Andrew said, 100 gig compressed sounds about right...you got a fat pipe? lol
[04:35] <nrdb> flokuehn: I use "dd if=/dev/hdc of=x.iso"
[04:35] <addos> ha
[04:36] <erUSUL> !anyone | senhor
[04:36] <ubotu> senhor: 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?
[04:36] <moppit> ripper:Are you using the updated NVIDIA drivers or NVIDIA-LEGACY drivers if you have an older card?
[04:36] <ripper> genii: it was fine all these while, until i tried to install the latest nvidia driver 100.14.19, and failed to do so, and i tried to revert, and failed miserably
[04:36] <genii> ripper: OK, use something that works for now, nv is fine. then rerun restricted-manager ad configure again from there
[04:36] <addos> that is so odd, Linux distribs used to provide cds with the source for the distribution
[04:36] <flokuehn> genii: thank you
[04:36] <afief> Does anybody know about a game similar to Flags(minesweeper multiplayer) in MSN Messenger?
[04:36] <RickH> Greetings.  Is there a way I can disable disk read/write caching on a particular volume?
[04:36] <Evanlec> erUSUL, okay so i'd want to compile in the latest nvidia driver and my wifi driver (RT2500), anything else?
[04:37] <moppit> RickH Isn't that something you do from BIOS?
[04:37] <ripper> moppit: i believe i'm using nvidia driver 100.14.11, it's the version before the current latest version, my nvidia card is geforce go 7400
[04:37] <Evanlec> addos, Ubuntu is HUGE compared to older linux distros
[04:37] <genii> flokuehn: I erred with syntax, should be of=~/filename.iso   in the command i gave earlier
[04:37] <RickH> moppit:  Nope, OS specific.
[04:37] <erUSUL> Evanlec: that's exactly the two drivers i build into my kernels XD
[04:37] <marko-_-> I wanna play this game http://www.highgrow.us/download.php :P i downloaded the setup .exe and runed it through wine it installed everthing fine and the icon from the game is on my desktop but it won't launch
[04:37] <Evanlec> erUSUL, and so thats all i would need you suspect?
[04:38] <erUSUL> Evanlec: ralink rt2500 legacy (rt2x00 serialmonkey ) and nvidia (from nvidia.com)
[04:38] <Evanlec> erUSUL, the rt2500 driver? nice...yea im using a broadcom 802.11g card
[04:38] <Pici> marko-_-: support applications in wine is handled in #winehq, they will be able to help you better than we can.
[04:38] <marko-_-> k
[04:38] <marko-_-> thanks
[04:38] <Kenny3> can i change to KDE on ubuntu studio?
[04:38] <ripper> genii: you mean enable the nvidia driver through restricted driver manager? and then do a restart?
[04:39] <erUSUL> Evanlec: you have 2 wifi cards? rt2500 and broadcom?
[04:39] <RickH> When does Gibbon come out?
[04:39] <Pici> RickH: ~18th
[04:39] <genii> ripper: Yes
[04:39] <RickH> Pici:  Thx.
[04:39] <Evanlec> erUSUL, no no, its a Broadcom card with the rt2500 chipset
[04:39] <flokuehn> genii: where did get this knowledge about dd ? Iam looking at the manpage and i cant find anything about the thins you told me to do
[04:39] <ripper> moppit: envy installation of nvidia driver shows that i'm using nvidia-glx-new
[04:39] <Evanlec> erUSUL, well Broadcom i think just being the brand name on the box
[04:39] <John117> Argh...  It hung at 73% this time. :)   i'll go get some more CDs and try again.  Thanks for the help everybody.  Keep up this great community and Ubuntu will take over the world. :)
[04:39] <Symmetria> heh ubuntu is now our second largest mirror on our mirror servers
[04:40] <Evanlec> erUSUL, but it is a RT2500 im sure of that (thats the chipset right?)
[04:40] <ripper> genii: all right, fingers crossed, i'll try that now, would come back here again regardless if it works
[04:40] <erUSUL> Evanlec: i see mine is  Network controller: RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01) (from lspci)
[04:40] <Symmetria> and the largest of which is actually not an operating system distribution at all
[04:40] <Evanlec> erUSUL, thats exactly what my lspci says too
[04:40] <tom_> I have made my  Mac Book Pro a dual boot system, but I want to share a HFS+ partition. In kubuntu, it says 'hal-storage-fixed-mount-refused uid 1000'. How do I fix?
[04:40] <genii> flokuehn: dd is not originally for making a cd copy, it is for making a bit-by-bit exact copy of a hard drive or similar. So it works anyhow this method for an iso file from a cd.
[04:40] <Symmetria> heh, we do 4 times the amount of ubuntu traffic than any other linux distro at the moment actually
[04:40] <nrdb> Symmetria: what is the largest ?
[04:40] <flokuehn> genii: ok
[04:40] <Symmetria> nrdb firefox updates
[04:40] <Symmetria> by far
[04:41] <Symmetria> nrdb heh firefox averages 50 to 60 mbit/second 24 hours a day 7 days a week, and peaks at 150mbit/second on releases
[04:41] <Evanlec> Symmetria, what site are you representing?

[04:41] <HentaiSushi> how do i set up partitions so i can install ubuntu manually?
[04:41] <Evanlec> Symmetria, firefox downloads? how about ubuntu iso downloads?
[04:41] <Symmetria> ubuntu currently averages 35 to 40mbit/second
[04:41] <senhor> someone help me
[04:41] <Evanlec> 24/7 ?
[04:41] <Symmetria> evan we push 35 to 40 in normal times when its not release
[04:41] <Symmetria> yeah
[04:41] <Evanlec> haha
[04:42] <stinger05> is there a way to install packages for ubuntu "offline"?
[04:42] <Evanlec> nice
[04:42] <Symmetria> during release times it gets insane, coupla hundred megabit
[04:42] <Suqare_Root> where can I find a proxy list for irc?? I've found many but all proxies fail, rejected / closed or unable

[04:43] <Evanlec> Symmetria, can i get a shell account? :) :)
[04:43] <stinger05> is there a way to install packages for ubuntu "offline"?
[04:43] <MasterShrek> stinger05, if you have the cd, or the pacakges already
[04:44] <Pici> stinger05: Theres aptoncd and .deb packages.
[04:44] <sniperjam> i sent my laptop off to get its damaged screen replaced, and now the titlebad of windows are MASSIVE... any ideas? (it is like that on live cds too)
[04:44] <Evanlec> erUSUL, do you have a guide or something you follow when compiling your kernel? do you think this is a good one to start with?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158&highlight=master+kernel
[04:44] <Evanlec> stinger05, you can download the ubuntu dvd, has a bunch more packages, for offline install
[04:45] <stinger05> what is aptoncd for then ?
[04:45] <erUSUL> !kernel | Evanlec
[04:45] <ubotu> Evanlec: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild.  Also, see !stages
[04:45] <Evanlec> !stages
[04:45] <stinger05> ah ok i got the idea:)
[04:45] <ubotu> The Ubuntu Kernel gets updated in stages.  If you have the updated kernel, but do not have the corresponding restricted modules, you may be leaving yourself with no X when you reboot.  If you have compiled binary versions of your video driver, eg from the nVidia site, you will need to recompile them for the new kernel.  This is normal, and not a bug.
[04:45] <sergio_> Hola ...hay alguien aqui??
[04:46] <ripper> genii: are you there?
[04:46] <erUSUL> Evanlec: i do not use the "debian way" i use the manual way just make; make install; make modules_install... and mkinitramfs
[04:46] <stinger05> but is there anyway to back-up the packages using aptoncd in "windows xp"
[04:46] <genii> ripper: yup
[04:46] <ripper> genii: enabling nvidia through restricted driver manager did not work, X server crashed as well
[04:46] <Vom> So - anyone having the similar problem? Meaning DRI not workin' with ATi.
[04:46] <Pici> !es | sergio_
[04:46] <ubotu> sergio_: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[04:46] <Evanlec> erUSUL, initramfs what do u do that for?
[04:46] <sniperjam> any ideas about my massive titles in windows guys? (not ms windows)
[04:46] <ripper> genii: it changed "nv" to "nvidia" in xorg.conf, i had to manually change it back to "nv" to get back in here
[04:46] <erUSUL> Evanlec: to make the /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-16-generic
[04:47] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, that loads modules right away when u choose your kernel so things like mounting your root partition work before modules for it would be loaded
[04:47] <Evanlec> erUSUL, oh thats part of the normal process then..gotcha
[04:47] <ripper> genii: and by the way, enabling the restricted driver uninstalled my nvidial-glx-new and replaced with nvidia-glx
[04:47] <genii> ripper: When you hit gdm did it give a series of config panels?
[04:47] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, i see, isnt it possible to not use initrd?
[04:47] <ripper> genii: you mean now?
[04:48] <MasterShrek> yes it is Evanlec if you compile things directly into the kernel
[04:48] <stib>  sniperjam: look for the DPI setting, that's what's causing it.. try /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:48] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, is there any implicit advantage in doing that?
[04:48] <genii> ripper: no, i mean the first time after you rebooted after switching to restricted driver from nv
[04:49] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, just to not have to make an initrd, i generally try to do that because its just one last step you have to do when compiling a kernel
[04:49] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, you try to avoid making an initrd?
[04:49] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, yes, as much as possible
[04:49] <ripper> genii: after i rebooted after switching to restricted driver, i can't even get into X. the X server error screen shown and i ended up in the terminal
[04:50] <stinger05> is there anyway to back-up the packages using aptoncd in "windows xp"? or do i have to do that via linux ? ?
[04:50] <r2r4> hello. i have 2 eth cards on my computer,VIA XXXX and 8139. ethtool shows VIA XXXX is using the driver of 8139, and the 8139 card is using the driver of VIA. how to fix it?
[04:50] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, I used to compile kernels way back on redhat 7 i believe, am interested in doing it here on ubuntu, not because im a developer by any means, but just wanted to tweak and make a lean & fast kernel
[04:51] <genii> ripper: What was the error message/code?
[04:51] <MasterShrek> me to Evanlec im working on it right now, ive never compiled one in ubuntu tho, just in slack and gentoo, but it should be the same, i dont think an initrd is required, it never was in slack
[04:52] <Stefan__> Hi guys, can someone help me please with this mysql problem: mysql don't start, ERROR 2002 appears every time :-( what to do to fix it?
[04:52] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, just use a config from /boot and make sure to do a 'make oldconfig' first
[04:52] <MasterShrek> Stefan__, do you konw what error 2002 is?
[04:52] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, are you compiling a Ubuntu kernel or a stock kernel from kernel.org
[04:52] <Exonimus> guys, maybe someone can help me. I've got this really old philips vesta webcam, and I've used it as a mircrophone for years. Is this possible in ubuntu? I have no clue where to find the correct drivers..
[04:52] <ripper> genii: it was pretty long, can't remember everything from it, it asked me whether i want to see the full error message with <Yes> and <No> options
[04:53] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, a vanilla kernel from kernel.org
[04:53] <MasterShrek> 2.6.23 is out :)
[04:53] <Stefan__> MasterShrek, yes i believe it says that there is no mysql.sock or the wrong rights on the mysql.sock
[04:53] <MasterShrek> Stefan__, are you trying to start it as a user?
[04:53] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, im guessing the vanilla kernel is a lot leaner than the ubuntu one
[04:53] <Klaus___> hi all
[04:54] <Stefan__> @MasterShrek yes with sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
[04:54] <genii> ripper: OK. Have you tried method described here yet? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[04:54] <ch3ckm8e> Stefan_ start mysql under the user you installed it with or root
[04:54] <Klaus___> can anyone say me how  i partition my 10 gbyte hd to install x-ubuntu? (manual)
[04:54] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, is there any pitfalls i should watch out for when trying to do this myself?
[04:54] <Stefan__> But when i use sudo isnt that like the root user start it?!?! And when not, how can i change to mysql/root user?!
[04:54] <MasterShrek> not too much Evanlec, the ubuntu kernel is just a patched vanilla kernel, although i dont know how many patches they put in, i dont think its any 'bigger' persay, but the ubuntu kernel does contain alot of modules that you wouldnt use
[04:55] <musashi> i am at the prepare partitions screen about install ubuntu.  What partitions do i need to make to install it?
[04:55] <dmesg> hi , is posible to change the ubuntu logo where it says aplications?
[04:55] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, you shouldnt have any problems, just dont overwrite your other kernel images and boot options for them
[04:55] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, right, well it has a lot of added hardware support, being those modules rite?
[04:55] <ripper> genii: actually, i should be using nvidia-glx-new instead of nvidia-glx right?
[04:56] <ch3ckm8e> Stefan_ have u tried using root?
[04:56] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, yes, its compiled for almost all kinds of hardware, obviously you dont have a need for all of them, but they are mostly modules, its not that the actual kernel image is bloated
[04:56] <ch3ckm8e> Stefan_ sudo is not root
[04:56] <MTecknology> Anybody in here that can change the topic for #ubuntu+1 ?
[04:56] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, oh i see
[04:56] <WaltzingAlong> ripper: nvidia-glx-new provides nvidia-glx
[04:56] <Stefan__> @ch3ckm8e can i make "su" and then /etc/init.d/mysql start?
[04:57] <genii> ripper: The restricted-manager should have properly detected which was correct, so I suspect whichever one it (unsuccessfully) tried
[04:57] <ch3ckm8e> Stefan_: in terminal do "su -" then "/etc/init.d/mysql start"
[04:57] <ch3ckm8e> Stefan_: if that doesn't work reinstall sql under root
[04:57] <ch3ckm8e> Stefan_: not sudo
[04:57] <WaltzingAlong> Klaus___: with just 10GB i may leave it as one big partition / and a swap; always could give some room to /boot or /home
[04:57] <Pici> Stefan__: ch3ckm8e: sudo -i  is prefered instead of su -
[04:57] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, do you have a link to a howto for compiling a linux kernel source ?
[04:58] <ripper> genii: what i noticed is that, if i install the nvidia driver with Envy, then nvidia-glx-new is used, but with restricted driver, then nvidia-glx-new would be uninstalled replaced with nvidia-glx
[04:58] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, i think so lemme check...
[04:58] <Evanlec> ripper, thats because the restricted driver is older
[04:59] <Evanlec> ripper, so use the newer one if you want best performance
[04:59] <stephan_> ey
[04:59] <stephan_> vuile sletten
[04:59] <Stefan__> @ch3ckm8e it doenst work :-(( when i reinstall it will all my databases be deleted or?
[04:59] <ripper> Evanlec: in other words, install nvidia driver with Envy? then i'm back to square one, when Driver is set to "nvidia" in xorg.conf, my X server fails
[05:00] <Pici> !envy
[05:00] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[05:00] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, i dont really have a link for it i guess, i just kinda know how to do it lol
[05:00] <genii> ripper: Well, i trust restricted-manager more than envy. Sorry for lag, at work and AFK occasionally here
[05:00] <musashi> MasterShrek:  i am trying to install ubuntu on my laptop, i am at the prepare partition screen, what partitions to i have to make to install ubuntu?
[05:00] <Klaus___> could somebody help me to partition my 10 gb hd for xubuntu?
[05:01] <kst> !ask | Klaus___
[05:01] <ubotu> Klaus___: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:01] <MasterShrek> musashi, are you dual booting with windows?
[05:01] <genii> ripper: Anyhow, you may want to try the method at end of the link where it described how to return to restricted-manager method from binary insertion way
[05:01] <Evanlec> ripper, like pici said...envy is hit or miss, for me it worked no sweat...for some its disastrous
[05:01] <MasterShrek> !partition
[05:01] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[05:01] <ripper> genii: that's all right genii, glad that you are trying to help...i think i'm going to try out the steps in the website you shown me, by the way, are these steps irrelevant to what i had currently defined in xorg.conf?
[05:01] <musashi> MasterShrek:  yes two versions of windows, i just need to figure out which partitions i have to specify on the unallocated space for ubuntu
[05:01] <Klaus___> Mastershrek: could you help me to partition my 10 gb hd for xubuntu?
[05:02] <kst> Klaus___ what do you wanna know?
[05:02] <MasterShrek> Klaus___, just let the installer automatically do it, first option when it asks
[05:02] <MasterShrek> musashi, is there a choice just to use the free space?
[05:02] <genii> ripper: So long as you have some workable xorg.conf it can begin with i think you will be fine to go.
[05:02] <ripper> Evanlec: it worked beautifully for me before, but yesterday i was trying out the new compiz-fusion and the latest nvidia driver, and i ended up like this, unable to revert
[05:02] <Klaus___> Mastershrek: the installer say every time... error...
[05:02] <Klaus___> couldnt partition ext3
[05:03] <musashi> MasterShrek: ahh there is one that says use the free space but i was thinking it meant ALL the free space, so that means unallocated space?
[05:03] <ripper> genii: all right, good to know that, i'll give it a shot and let you know what turns out
[05:03] <Klaus___> now i will do it maual
[05:03] <Klaus___> manual
[05:03] <MasterShrek> musashi, yes, it means all the space that isnt already in use
[05:03] <Nido> hello
[05:03] <genii> ripper: I will be away for a few minutes, but returning :)
[05:03] <musashi> MasterShrek:  hmm.. but i have two globs of unallocated space i was hoping to use together for ubuntu. would it just be easier to use the larger one?
[05:03] <Warmedal_> I have installed ubuntu just a sec ago, And now I get "Error 21" when loading Grub.. Please help
[05:04] <ripper> genii: no problem, but in case i don't catch again in time, thanks a lot for helping :)
[05:04] <Wips> I don't think my Microphone is working >.< Are there any settings I can play with?
[05:04] <Exonimus> guys, can anyone help me with my question? I'm trying to get an old philips vesta webcam working
[05:04] <Mophead> Anyone know an ubuntu command to keep two year olds from the powerstrip?
[05:05] <Pici> Mophead: duct tape?
[05:05] <MasterShrek> musashi, you can use the other one for your /home directory if you want, but how big is the bigger one?
[05:06] <MasterShrek> musashi, you can also use the smaller one as swap, but its prolly kinda big for that, which isnt bad, just kinda wasted space
[05:06] <o00w> Pici: thanks it works for me
[05:06] <musashi> MasterShrek:  the small one is about 6 GB and the large one 20 GB
[05:06] <Warmedal_> I have installed ubuntu just a sec ago, And now I get "Error 21" when loading Grub.. Please help
[05:06] <WaltzingAlong> Warmedal_: ask google, she knows
[05:07] <MasterShrek> musashi, i would just use the big one as your install, and leave the 6 gig for a transfer space between windows/linux, format it as fat32 (vfat)
[05:07] <Mophead> exonumus: Try this link http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-197202.html see if that helps.. Few people have had that prob..
[05:07] <Klaus___> MasterShrek: can you help me?
[05:07] <musashi> MasterShrek:  o.o so i should chose the use largest continuous free space to install ubuntu on the 20 gb unallocated?
[05:08] <musashi> MasterShrek:  then format the 6 gb as swap while in linux?
[05:08] <Hilikus> hey guys
[05:08] <WaltzingAlong> hey gals
[05:09] <Hilikus> how do i make anacron take care of my user crontabs?? they are stored in /var/spool/cron   but anacron only executed /etc/cron.*
[05:09] <musashi> MasterShrek:  also if i use the automatically use unallocated space thing, it will still let me choose not to install grub on the mbr, right?
[05:09] <MasterShrek> musashi, let the installer make the swap partition, prolyl use a gig or so out of the 20 gig, and then when its done installing come back here and ask how to format that 6 gig as vfat so windows and linux can read and write to it
[05:09] <MasterShrek> i think so musashi
[05:10] <musashi> MasterShrek: ok thanks. even if it does do the grub mbr thing ill just restore the windows one and reset the easybcd
[05:11] <MasterShrek> musashi, you should use grub to boot your windows partitions
[05:12] <atlfalcons866> what filesystem should i use?
[05:12] <musashi> MasterShrek:  meh i would rather use what i know for now.  that way if i dont like linux all i have to do is wipe that partition in windows and it wont mess anything up
[05:12] <atlfalcons866> does anyone use jfs
[05:12] <Pici> atlfalcons866: ext3
[05:12] <millhouse> hey
[05:12] <atlfalcons866> Pici: is ext3 the fastest file system
[05:13] <dperry> hey all
[05:13] <MasterShrek> musashi, i dont think u can boot linux from a windows boot loader, but more power to ya
[05:13] <musashi> MasterShrek:  =o there is an option to do it maybe i misread :x
[05:13] <Pici> atlfalcons866: Its the default on Ubuntu and the most popular on Linux
[05:13] <musashi> MasterShrek:  i should probably check that first thanks for the help
[05:13] <MasterShrek> im almost certain there is not musashi, but im not 100%
[05:13] <Juhaz> atlfalcons866, there is nothing that is fastest or best for everything. it depends on your workload, ext3 is reasonable compromise for general usage
[05:13] <Wikzo> I got some problems about my Print Screen-shot buttom. Some days ago I removed Compiz Fusion from Ubuntu 7.04, and now when I am using the PrtSc-buttom I get an error message: "Der opstod en fejl ved krsel af "/usr/share/compiz/take-screenshot.sh": Fejl under krsel af underprocessen "/usr/share/compiz/take-screenshot.sh" (No such file or directory)." How do I get the standard "Take Screenshot"program to use the PrtSc-buttom on my keyboard?
[05:13] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, im compiling it now :)
[05:14] <musashi> MasterShrek: well thats not good
[05:14] <atlfalcons866> ok
[05:14] <atlfalcons866> i used xfs and had bad luck
[05:14] <musashi> MasterShrek:  if it fails ill just wipe the partition and use grub
[05:14] <MasterShrek> musashi, if you decide to get rid of linux, u can just boot back into a windows install cd, hit r to repair and type fixmbr
[05:14] <ripper> quit
[05:14] <dperry> i just compiled and installed the latest xine-lib (after uninstalling the installed libxine1 package), and when I go to install kaffeine and kaffeine-xine, it tries to install the libxine1 from the package archive
[05:15] <musashi> MasterShrek: will do if it comes to that
[05:15] <musashi> MasterShrek: im off to try
[05:15] <dperry> how would I get it to install just kaffeine and kaffeine-xine without installing the libxine1 package
[05:15] <MasterShrek> good luck musashi =D
[05:15] <dperry> since i already have it installed from source
[05:15] <musashi> thanks :)
[05:15] <MasterShrek> dperry, why did you install it from source?
[05:15] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, compiling 2.6.23 vanilla?
[05:15] <mr_marvin> is fat32 most compatible file system for use under both linux and windows?
[05:16] <MasterShrek> yes Evanlec, i wish i knew what my inird was doing tho, so i made sure to build the right modules into the kernel
[05:16] <Evanlec> mr_marvin, yes i spose but linux can write to ntfs no problem nowadays
[05:16] <MasterShrek> mr_marvin, natively yes
[05:16] <nrdb> mr_marvin: I think so, but the support NTFS is growing.
[05:17] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, so far im planning to put in the latest nvidia driver and the RT2500 driver (my wifi card)
[05:17] <mr_marvin> what would you recommend? should i format my data dh as htfs/fat32/ext3?
[05:17] <wmorse> I am upgrading Eclipse. My original install was through the Synaptic Package Manager. Now I want to replace that with something I downloaded myself. How does the package manager decide where to put things like eclipse, and what would be a smart way to replace the version I have with this new one? I have a working copy of the new software under my regular user home folder.
[05:17] <jimcooncat> mr_marvin: have heard good things about ext2 windows driver so you can use ext3 partition
[05:17] <dperry> MasterShrek: I couldn't get the video to display right
[05:17] <dperry> from dvb and any video file, i would get only a green screen
[05:17] <mr_marvin> i also need good support for +10 GB files
[05:17] <dperry> with some purple artifacts on it
[05:17] <asininity> Hi guys, I got a random question. I'm currently dual booting with vista on a laptop that has a recovery partition, not that I'm going too but if I decided to ditch linux how would I fix the mbr to be able to boot the recovery partition again as grub has taken over. Cheers.

[05:17] <ibara> mr_marvin don't use fat32 then
[05:17] <benzon> Omg - just found out that ATI x300 is able to run on Intel drivers
[05:18] <mr_marvin> ibara: noted. thaks.
[05:19] <nucco> hey, need a lil help here. I know this is the wrong channel. where do I find gftp's svn repository?
[05:19] <dperry> MasterShrek: doesn't that contain an older version of kaffeine than is in the gutsy repository?
[05:19] <dperry> 0.8.3, gutsy has 0.8.5
[05:19] <MasterShrek> dperry, maybe, i didnt know you were using gutsy
[05:19] <dperry> sorry, should've said that first
[05:20] <MasterShrek> well, i dont think that compiling from source is going to help so much, did you install all the gstreamer libraries? including the bad and ugly ones?
[05:20] <dperry> yep, everything
[05:21] <HentaiSushi> MastereShrek: you are quite sure using the largest continuous free space will only use unallocated space, right?
[05:21] <MasterShrek> dperry, i think if u run checkinstall in the source directory of that lib u compiled, apt should catch it as being installed
[05:21] <dperry> okay, lemme test that out
[05:22] <MasterShrek> HentaiSushi, how big does it say your largest continuous free space is? is it equal to the size of your unallocated space?
[05:22] <mr_marvin> do you think that "write" support for ntfs is ok nowdays?
[05:22] <Matic`Makovec> Err...hey there. Any ideas about this thingie? http://pastebin.com/m43f16e41 (removing mysql-server doesn't help really)
[05:22] <musashi> MasterShrek: it doesnt give me an amount
[05:22] <MasterShrek> mr_marvin, yes its pretty good
[05:23] <jaczz> #macrumors
[05:23] <dperry> mr_marvin: I use it all the time, haven't had any problems.
[05:23] <MasterShrek> musashi, it should be fine
[05:23] <mr_marvin> hm... i'll think i'll use ntfs then...

[05:24] <musashi> MasterShrek: it just says that SCSI1 (0,0,0)(sda) has been changed and that partition #3 of SCSI1 is going to be ext3 and partitoin #6 is going to be swap
[05:24] <murlidhar> mr_marvin: just sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g && ntfs-config
[05:24] <MasterShrek> musashi, does that seem right to you? im obviously not looking at your screen and i dont know anything about your partition scheme
[05:25] <genii> nucco: I'm not sure an svn for gftp exists. However, a cvs site is listed from here: http://gftp.seul.org/readme.html
[05:25] <musashi> MasterShrek: well SCSI1 is my main hard drive so that just means its adding those partitions to it, right? not deleting anything?
[05:25] <nucco> genii: I tried that. didn't work, so I thought maybe they migrated as well
[05:26] <Bo^Dick> hi
[05:26] <dperry> MasterShrek: That did make it show up in my package database, however it is not registering as the same thing.
