[05:32] <Faithen> weeeelllll that did jack and shit, and jack left town apparantly.. lousy jack, always not around when hes needed
[05:32] <Sprafa> foobar is almost why i wasn't going to switch to linux
[05:32] <elTigre> I get "bash: /usr/bin/tail: cannot execute binary file" a lot
[05:32] <LjL> wols_: looking from that tutorial, it seems almost like it's actually not included anymore... seeing the zip file, the convoluted instructions and all... though that's mostly for getting the firmware into the thing
[05:32] <Sprafa> D:
[05:32] <elTigre> what can I do about that?
[05:33] <wols_> LjL: ok if it needs that firmware it's not in the kernel :(
[05:33] <ITS_FOR_REAL> got rar to work. tried pointing @ dir first then file name. tried it reverse and voila... zz to tired. need t use -m0 also cuz its going so f** slow
[05:33] <Faithen> O.o
[05:33] <Sprafa> you know, command lines used to scare me
[05:34] <wols_> Faithen: what type of ubuntu are you running?
[05:34] <Faithen> most recent version
[05:34] <Sprafa> now i know they just suck :(
[05:34] <krazykit> Sprafa: then you're not doing it right :-P
[05:34] <Faithen> 6.06l i do believe
[05:34] <lupine_85> console++ :)
[05:34] <Sprafa> meh
[05:34] <ITS_FOR_REAL> cya guys! have fun
[05:34] <Sprafa> command lines are prosumer stuff
[05:34] <wols_> Faithen: not version. type. as "kubuntu"
[05:35] <krazykit> Sprafa: if you've broken your system as much as i have, you learn to love the command line ;-)
[05:35] <lupine_85> Real (Wo)Men Use CLI
[05:35] <Faithen> I don't know, How would i find out? I just recently picked linux and ubuntu up
[05:35] <Sprafa> i do fine with my beautiful GUIs, thank you very much D:
[05:35] <Faithen> so i'm fairly new, just starting to get a hang of synaptic and terminal
[05:35] <b^j> anyone know why my virtual consoles are gone?  gdm is all i see when i press ctrl-alt-[1-7]
[05:36] <wols_> Faithen: do you have a foot icon in X?
[05:36] <wols_> b^j: F1-F6
[05:36] <Faithen> My main Icon is this little three person circle
[05:36] <b^j> wols_, err yeah, f1-f8 that is
[05:36] <Skrot> Hi. Is there some clever way to unload all snd_ modules in ubuntu?
[05:36] <Saftool> hello all
[05:37] <Skrot> Or unload all modules used for sound/alsa
[05:37] <krazykit> Skrot: rmmod snd_* doesn't work?
[05:37] <lupine_85> the * would be expanded by bash?
[05:37] <krazykit> oh, bash
[05:37] <krazykit> maybe not then
[05:38] <lupine_85> rmmod snd_\* "might" work, but I wouldn't bet on it
[05:38] <Skrot> krazykit: no. I seem to remember debian having /etc/init.d/alsa. If I stop'ed it it removed all snd_modules as well. Does ubuntu have anything like that? /etc/init.d/alsa-utils does not do it
[05:38] <lupine_85> most of them will be in use anyway
[05:38] <krazykit> lupine_85: it would in zsh ;-).
[05:38] <LjL> Skrot, lupine_85, krazykit lsmod | grep "snd_" | awk ' { print "rmmod " $1 } ' | sh
[05:38] <lupine_85> hehe
[05:38] <Faithen> I love having such baffling problems
[05:38] <lupine_85> showoff ;)
[05:38] <LjL> i know :)
[05:38] <Saftool> when trying to install unbuntu server my system hangs after initial reboot.  only error i see while booting si "Can't read ctr While initializing i8042"   any ideas? i ahve reinstalled 3 times
[05:39] <krazykit> Skrot: and if that doesn't work, make it "rmmod -f"
[05:39] <Skrot> LjL: Get a lot of dependencies about it beeing in use.
[05:39] <LjL> Skrot: well, i didn't actually try it as root ;)
[05:39] <Juhaz> make that: lsmod|awk '/snd_/ {print $1}'|xargs rmmod
[05:39] <LjL> Skrot: just run it more than once untill all the deps are gone -- assuming they're only dependencies internal to the snd_* modules
[05:40] <LjL> otherwise i guess you'd have to remove the offending modules manually first
[05:40] <krazykit> Skrot: and lsof anything that's using the /dev nodes for the devices, too
[05:40] <LjL> Juhaz: now who's the showoff :P
[05:40] <Faithen> Noriega, why do i recognize that name.
[05:40] <Skrot> ERROR: Removing 'snd_hda_intel': Operation not permitted -- as sudo
[05:40] <Faithen> would you happen to have scripted a B.net bot?
[05:41] <Juhaz> hehe
[05:41] <Jay_Levitt> Is there a way to see which apt-get package supplies a file named xyz.c?
[05:41] <wols_> Jay_Levitt: dpkg can tell
[05:41] <LjL> Skrot: for the whole command to work you'd probably want to *be* root (i.e. "sudo -i") rather than prefix sudo
[05:41] <wols_> Jay_Levitt: dpkg -S
[05:41] <erUSUL> Jay_Levitt: dpkg -S /path/to/file
[05:41] <Faithen> ljl, I think i broke Wols
[05:41] <Jay_Levitt> Thanks all
[05:41] <LjL> Jay_Levitt: yeah, install the "apt-file" package
[05:42] <LjL> Jay_Levitt: that will work even if you don't have the concerned package installed
[05:42] <erUSUL> LjL: maybe the ubuntu kernel does not permit mod removal. it is compile option
[05:42] <ephemeros> yo \m/
[05:42] <wols_> Faithen: ?
[05:42] <ubunter> question: i installed foobar under wine. how to make that linux will open mp3s in foobar?
[05:42] <Jay_Levitt> LjL:L Thanks, that's even better
[05:42] <LjL> erUSUL: well, that might be, but i'm not too eager to crash my system right now, so i'll leave it for someone else to try :)
[05:43] <Faithen> I just never got a responce to you when i Denied that i have a foot with an x for it as an icon
[05:43] <LjL> Jay_Levitt: run "apt-file update" first, so that it downloads the needed information, then you can do "apt-file search filename"
[05:43] <Faithen> and that i had a little circle with three breaks and three bumps on it
[05:43] <xoxi> ola
[05:43] <Faithen> so, I think i broke you
[05:43] <elTigre> I get "bash: /usr/bin/tail: cannot execute binary file" a lot
[05:43] <elTigre> what can I do about that?
[05:43] <wols_> Faithen: I don't run the gui so I dunno. but you should know yourself what you installed. until you know, I can't tell you waht to do. the "?" is one of x,g or k
[05:43] <Jay_Levitt> LjL: Which answers what would have been my next question!
[05:44] <wols_> elTigre: a lot or always when you run tail?
[05:44] <xoxi> ola
[05:44] <elTigre> I normally don't run tail
[05:44] <Faithen> It's prolly X
[05:44] <Faithen> I'll try it again
[05:44] <Faithen> thank you.
[05:44] <elTigre> but I guess it's used a lot in startup script
[05:44] <elTigre> s
[05:44] <krazykit> Faithen: if there's an "applications" menu up top, it's gnome or xfce.  if it's on the bottom, it's kde
[05:44] <silent_scream> I installed lirc with succes! now hoaw can i control aplications with my remote? i use gnome...
[05:44] <LjL> elTigre: try running "tail" from the shell then
[05:44] <elTigre> when I run tail, it's the same, too
[05:44] <wols_> elTigre: is it possible to run it. yes or no?
[05:44] <elTigre> no
[05:44] <LjL> elTigre: ok, "ls -l /usr/bin/tail"
[05:44] <Faithen> It's Gnome then
[05:44] <bieb_work> Has anyone here looked at the NetCell Revo, storage Processing Unit?
[05:44] <xoxi> perdona pero no te entiendo
[05:44] <LjL> !es
[05:44] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[05:44] <left> hi
[05:44] <wols_> elTigre: ldd /usr/bin/tail
[05:45] <Faithen> and it said it killed GDM
[05:45] <elTigre> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 37092 2006-04-04 19:43 /usr/bin/tail
[05:45] <Faithen> and nothing happened
[05:45] <Faithen> let me try and repeat
[05:45] <elTigre> not a dynamic executable
[05:45] <wols_> Faithen: you closed x by logging out?
[05:45] <b^j> grr, tired to ctrl-alt-f1 and it brough me to a new gdm, i couldn't get back to my old one on ctrl-alt-f7.  anyone have any idea what is up?
[05:45] <LjL> elTigre: try "file /usr/bin/tail" too
[05:45] <elTigre> file /usr/bin/tail : Data
[05:45] <wols_> elTigre: ls -al /usr/bin/tail
[05:45] <LjL> data?
[05:45] <wols_> elTigre: and "file /usr/bin/tail" too
[05:45] <LjL> is it just me, or that doesn't sound good?
[05:45] <elTigre> yep
[05:45] <Faithen> YEah i logged out
[05:46] <xoxi> bye
[05:46] <elTigre> file says it's data
[05:46] <wols_> elTigre: someone or something overwrote at least your /usr/bin/tail file
[05:46] <Faithen> unless you wanted me to restart, or i wanted me to.
[05:46] <Saftool> after installing unbuntu server (latest relerase) my system hangs up at the login screen.  only error message is the "Can't read ctr While initializing i8042".  I was never abel to get past that.  any suggestions or ideas?
[05:46] <LjL> elTigre: yeah, which makes me say it doesn't sound good
[05:46] <elTigre> mhh what can I do about that?
[05:46] <xoxi> no te busco
[05:46] <LjL> elTigre: perhaps install "chkrootkit" and/or "rkhunter", and run them
[05:46] <wols_> elTigre: and since normal programs cannot do that /unless you run sudo), something very fishy is going on
[05:46] <mhb> Anyone has experience with the Bon Echo https:// bug? Do you have a workaround? (to access launchpad, for instance)
[05:46] <Arrick> hey, how do I sent one of those messages like *| Arrick Slaps blah blah?
[05:46] <xoxi> bye
[05:46] <b^j> elTigre, not good at all, is this a home or work computer?
[05:46] <LjL> elTigre: and disconnect from the network as soon as possible after you install them
[05:47] <elTigre> ljl: is that installable through synaptic?
[05:47] <elTigre> home computer
[05:47] <left> anyone knows what is the app that modifies /etc/resolv.conf when I change network?
[05:47] <krazykit> Arrick: /me does something
[05:47] <LjL> elTigre: yes, both are
[05:47] <b^j> elTigre, if its a home one i would just run a rootkit checker from trusted media
[05:47] <wols_> Faithen: are you in a console whne you type /etc/init.d/gdm stop?  if not: go there with ctrl+alt+f1
[05:47] <Arrick> thanks
[05:47] <Faithen> trying to get cedega to work is becoming a pain o.o
[05:47] <LjL> elTigre: just type "sudo apt-get install rkhunter chkrootkit" and they'll be installed. then run them
[05:47] <wols_> left: depends how you change it
[05:47] <b^j> elTigre, change all the passwords on any system you might have typed in on that system
[05:47] <krazykit> Faithen: cedega is junk.
[05:47] <b^j> elTigre, not good enough
[05:47] <Faithen> is there a difference between console and terminal?
[05:47] <bieb_work> Flannel.. you hanging around today?
[05:47] <b^j> elTigre, you need to run the rootkit checker from trusted media
[05:48] <LjL> Faithen: not for practical purposes
[05:48] <silent_scream> I installed lirc with success! now how can i control aplications with my remote? i use gnome...
[05:48] <Faithen> yes i am starting to realise, have a better way to get games running on my computer? ^.^
[05:48] <b^j> elTigre, you can't trust anything on that install from now on
[05:48] <b^j> elTigre, boot from a readonly media like a live cd
[05:48] <wols_> Faithen: press ctrl+alt+f1. you must be in text mode, not in X while stopping gdm
[05:48] <left> wols_, at home I have my ethernet cable and my provider's dns, then at school in the Wless network something changes resolv.conf
[05:48] <LjL> elTigre, b^j is probably right. get an Ubuntu Live CD, boot from it, install rkhunter and chkrootkit from there, and run them on your HD
[05:48] <wols_> left: dhcp most probably
[05:49] <wols_> left: you need to edit your /etc/network/interfaces
[05:49] <elTigre> uhm, I'd rather assume first, that a rootkit would not be as dump to overwrite tail ....
[05:49] <b^j> LjL, not probably, if they have root, they could have installed kernel modules to hide anything they did
[05:49] <left> to avoid that wols_?
[05:49] <vect0r``> wols_, deja vu
[05:49] <vect0r``> ou need to edit your /etc/network/interfaces
[05:49] <vect0r``> hehe
[05:49] <wols_> vect0r``: it's normal with network problems
[05:49] <Saftool> anyone know if "Can't read ctr While initializing i8042" would cause system crash?
[05:50] <wols_> Saftool: do you have a usb keyboard or ps2?
[05:50] <Saftool> wols_: ps2
[05:50] <Saftool> USB mouse
[05:50] <Saftool> which should i change? :)
[05:51] <LjL> elTigre, b^j: a rootkit might not be (or it might), but the guy that installed it might. anyway, let's just boot from a live cd if you have one, and be back on irc. the sooner you disconnect, the better
[05:51] <wols_> Saftool: could be. try booting with acpi=off and noapic for boot parameters
[05:51] <elTigre> I have that problem for a few weeks now
[05:51] <elTigre> didn't suspect anything
[05:51] <wols_> elTigre: you could also check your disk for defects (smartmontools. long test)
[05:51] <Saftool> wols_:Is that something I can add in GRUB? sorry am completly new
[05:51] <wols_> Saftool: yes
[05:51] <Canopus> lupine_85: Thanks for the advice ... did some work around and its working now
[05:51] <elTigre> I am running chkrootkit in my normal installation anyway first
[05:52] <Saftool> wols_:Cool let me boot with that brb :)
[05:52] <Onbir> Hey. I have two questions :). One: How to reset the panel layout (i changed the panels and stuff.) and two: Is there a way to place a desktop shortcut to connect to this chat?
[05:53] <Canopus> Onbir: right click on the irc client and select Add to panel
[05:53] <lupine_85> Canopus: np :)
[05:53] <Canopus> ok guyz ... see ya later ... thanks a million :)
[05:53] <alexyeah> how to set the gdm display on 1024*768 and 4 all users as default
[05:54] <LjL> elTigre: well, it's quite possible that you *don't* have a rootkit, but the "tail" executable being messed up does ring a warning bell or three to me, so myself i'd double check...
[05:54] <b^j> so does anyone know what became of my virtual terminals, i had them yesterday.  since yesterday i reconfigured x to use xinerama and fglrx
[05:55] <mike-digiport-> .
[05:55] <Onbir> alright.. and now my first question please? ^_^
[05:55] <Onbir> Which was: How to reset the panel layout (i changed the panels and stuff.)
[05:55] <LjL> Onbir: move them back ;)
[05:55] <LjL> Onbir: or create a new user
[05:55] <Juhaz> gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel
[05:55] <Onbir> LjL: Well.. i deleted some panels
[05:56] <LjL> Onbir: add them back... right click on the panel, and "add panel" (or similar... i'm on KDE)
[05:56] <Onbir> Juhaz: Thanks! ^_^
[05:57] <elTigre> ljl chkrootkit didn't find anything suspicious
[05:57] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> people.  i need to ask a question. stupid as it mite be. do i need to worry bout viruses with linux?
[05:57] <isede> is there any way to make SATA RAID0 on FastRak card be recognized automatically, without manual qparted/dmraid runs (i read the howto)?
[05:58] <Rico-> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: not really
[05:58] <Rico-> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: there does seem to be some linux anti-virus tools though :/
[05:58] <elTigre> how can I owerwrite tail again?
[05:58] <alexyeah> how to set the gdm display on 1024*768 and 4 all users as default
[05:58] <alexyeah> please help me
[05:58] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> hmm. and - how can i configure the linux firewall?
[05:58] <LjL> elTigre: well, it's up to you. i'd still run them (chkrootkit and rkhunter) from a cd. also the suggestion to check your HD for problems is worth a shot (try a "smartctl -H /dev/hdwhatever" first, maybe it's *already* noticed a failure!)
[05:58] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> alex: what seems to be the problem?
[05:59] <elTigre>  don't have smartctl
[05:59] <frfx> i want to edit partitions with gparted.but before some of my partitions there is a lock and i can't edti them
[05:59] <LjL> elTigre: instrall smartmontools
[05:59] <alexyeah> its so little that i can see nothing
[05:59] <smax> tomcat_ hello! do you remember the problem with libstdc++
[05:59] <supermiguel> how can i add users to proftpd
[05:59] <Tomcat_> smax: Yes.
[05:59] <elTigre> how can I reinstall tail?
[05:59] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> frfx: you using Gparted as live cd? or from linux?
[05:59] <alexyeah> its a monitor 4 1024*768 and not for 1280*...
[05:59] <KenSentMe> frfx: you have to unmount them before you can edit them
[05:59] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> exactly. or run it from a live CD
[06:00] <LjL> elTigre: "sudo apt-get --reinstall install the-relevant-package", which might be "binutils" or something... i'll check right now. however, i'd wait until you find out what the root problem is
[06:00] <smax> Tomcat_ I update this package and over everething is fine. I'm so happy )))
[06:00] <frfx> i am using gparted from my ubuntu.but i cant unmount them because i am using them
[06:00] <Sonofaq> alexyeah are you running xgl
[06:00] <Saftool> wols_: when I added noacpi and acpi=off it gives me an erro when it gets to that line "unrecognized"  should i have ventered differently in the boot parameters in grub?
[06:00] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> frfx: then you need a LIVE CD
[06:00] <RedGhost> Where can I change which file types are automatically opened with what? (gnome) ??
[06:00] <alexyeah> ?
[06:00] <LjL> elTigre: the package is "coreutils"
[06:00] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> download it. its just 30 MB
[06:00] <alexyeah> id dont know
[06:01] <Sonofaq> dont worry hang oni'll just check where the file is you need to edi
[06:01] <metalhedd> how can I get gcc 4.1 on dapper? I need it torun as a distcc server.
[06:01] <frfx> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: there is nothing like partition magic on m$? it edits the partitions while rebooting
[06:01] <elTigre> I'm behind a firewall, tooo
[06:01] <LjL> metalhedd: i'm afraid you can't do that very easily
[06:01] <Sonofaq> alexyeah are you using a live cd and are you using a nvidia graphics card or radeon
[06:01] <smax>  PunjabiFLOYDIAN gparted
[06:02] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> actually Gparted can act like that. but u need to unmount. why not try the LIVE CD/
[06:02] <smax> PunjabiFLOYDIAN cfdisk
[06:02] <metalhedd> LjL: whats the hard way? i don't mind.
[06:02] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> smax: help frfx. LOL. i know it.
[06:02] <habeeb> I installed fglrx, and my resolution changed from 1680x1050 to 1024x768. How can I turn it back? I ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but the resolution values keep reseting after every X restart :/
[06:02] <KenSentMe> !fixres
[06:02] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:02] <wols_> Saftool: no you did it right. it was only a guess tho
[06:02] <cleeren> hello everybody
[06:02] <smax> PunjabiFLOYDIAN ?
[06:03] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> yeah?
[06:03] <KenSentMe> cleeren: hi
[06:03] <alexyeah> i dont use a live cd & use a diamond viper 16 mb
[06:03] <LjL> metalhedd: don't really know... perhaps compile gcc by hand ("nightmare" comes to mind here), or use an Edgy package (and break everything)... but what about just installing the GCC that's on Dapper on your *other* machines you want to run distcc on?
[06:03] <zmutte> Heya, I have a problem with wlan. I am trying to confige iwconfig to be able to connect to my stationary computer through ad hoc. the stationary computer runs a dhcp server, but after configuring the iwconfig and trying to get a ip from dhclient nothing happens
[06:03] <frfx> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: thanks for your help :) but how can i setup gparted to act like that? but i cant unmount the partitions because i am using them..
[06:03] <alexyeah> v550
[06:03] <RedGhost> Where can I change which file types are automatically opened with what? (gnome) ??
[06:03] <b^j> anyone know why i can't get to my virtual consoles by typing ctrl-alt-F[1-6]
[06:03] <fyrestrtr> frfx: boot from the livecd.
[06:03] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> frfx: get the live CD from gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[06:04] <Sonofaq> alexyeah:ok hang on here the link to all the info you need  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:04] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> and u have to unmount before chanign the partitions
[06:04] <smax> frfx what's problem with?
[06:04] <Sonofaq> just go through that and use common sense
[06:04] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> which is very obvious. and no - itcant be like partition magic
[06:04] <metalhedd> LjL: cuz that machine already has alot of stuff compiled with 4.1
[06:04] <KenSentMe> RedGhost: go to a certain file in nautilus, right click, open with... and select the program you want to open the file with
[06:04] <frfx> PunjabiFLOYDIAN: ok thanks for your help :) but i thought i can also use the ubuntu live cd no?
[06:04] <cleeren> i have added a new user, everything works fine but the sound is not recognized. in the original admin user the sound works fine? what's wrong? thanx for your help
[06:05] <wols_> cleeren: add the user to the group "audio"
[06:05] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> frfx: agreed. that also works. but maybe it will autmount every partition. adn u have to unmount.
[06:05] <b^j> cleeren, i would guess a permission issue
[06:05] <Ivanowitch> Hi. I have a somehwat annoying problem... no matter how i try to connect to a network printer, i always get the message that the "bakcend" for that particular connection type failed, I am using the html interface to configure CUPS
[06:05] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> download the Gparted live CD. its very very handy. better than Pqmagic
[06:05] <smax> PunjabiFLOYDIAN He can used partition magic if he like it. partition magic can work whith ext3fs
[06:05] <fyrestrtr> Ivanowitch: why not use the gnome cups interface?
[06:05] <frfx> Punjabi: ok many thanks :)
[06:05] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> smax: yup. but for that he needs Windows
[06:05] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> :D
[06:05] <Ivanowitch> because i use xfce, not gnome...
[06:06] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> no problem! Free Software rules! Dont use Partition Magic
[06:06] <frfx> Punjabi: i used partition magic but it gaves errors :s
[06:06] <smax> PunjabiFLOYDIAN No He can run it from boot cd
[06:06] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> LOL. it sucks i know!
[06:06] <frfx> :)
[06:06] <LjL> metalhedd: well, i pass. i wouldn't have a clue how to install it without breaking half of the system. perhaps a chroot might be of help (or even a virtual machine with a gcc-4.1 system on it, if you think it's worth doing), though still i couldn't guide you into the specifics
[06:06] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> frfx: i sincerely recommend that u give the Gparted CD a try.
[06:07] <ladydoor> frfx: i'll second the gparted suggestion...
[06:07] <frfx> i hope gparted wont give errors :) ok i will follow your recommendation :)
[06:07] <smax> frfx What error
[06:07] <cleeren> wols:i have lost connection, please can you explain this to me, about my sound problem?
[06:07] <Saftool> wols_:I went in edit and pressed o to add line then edit gain to add acpi= off then noacpi on another line.  I then pressed b for boot.. but it gives me line 27 unrecognized command
[06:07] <frfx> smax: dont know. error #xxxx something like that :)
[06:07] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> frfx: parted is very stable. i found it very useful. handles every partition.
[06:07] <supermiguel> does any one know about ftp?
[06:07] <lupine_85> add the line to the end of the kernel line
[06:07] <ladydoor> Saftool: which one of those two lines is line 27?
[06:07] <b^j> supermiguel, what do you need
[06:07] <lupine_85> (rather than creating a new one!)
[06:08] <Saftool> ladydoor:noacpi
[06:08] <smax> frfx If you have error's you may have try something like acronis soft
[06:08] <fulld> how do i get gaim2 for dapper? do i have to use some soft of backport from edgy?
[06:08] <ladydoor> Saftool: yeah, definitely put it with the kernel options.
[06:08] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> sudo apt-get install gaim
[06:08] <ladydoor> fulld: you could just install from source...
[06:08] <RedGhost> KenSentMe, I know how to open the file, I just want the default command to x not y
[06:08] <Saftool> ladydoor:on one of the kernel lines above it?
[06:08] <tritium> gaim should be installed by default
[06:09] <frfx> smax: nah i think it is a problem of partition magic.that program sucks
[06:09] <ladydoor> Saftool: yup...
[06:09] <supermiguel> b^j:  locally i can access to my ftp page but when someone else try to access it ask for the password when he put the right password it give im error
[06:09] <Saftool> not on its own
[06:09] <cleeren> wols_ : can you please help me again, i have lost the connection and the information you've sent...
[06:09] <Saftool> cool trying again
[06:09] <smax> frfx What did you wanna do whith your partitin table?
[06:09] <frfx> smax: just make partitions larger or smaller :)
[06:10] <ladydoor> tritium: this person'a asking about the *new* gaim, not the old one.
[06:10] <jrib> cleeren: 12:04 <           wols_ > cleeren: add the user to the group "audio"
[06:10] <Intangir> frfx: check out gparted
[06:10] <smax> frfx by delete old partition's and creating new  or by resizing ?
[06:10] <tritium> ladydoor: okay
[06:10] <ladydoor> fulld: if you go to their website, they have the source for gaim2.0.0beta3, and you can just install that if you divert ubuntu's gaim to another location
[06:11] <cleeren> jrib: how can i do this?
[06:11] <b^j> supermiguel, what ftp server do you use, you may have to add a user to the specail ftp users, you may have to mark them as ok in your ftp configuration, any number of things, i am not familiar with many ftp servers so you will probably have to read the fine manual for your server
[06:11] <ladydoor> fulld: (with sudo sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/gaim.ubuntu --rename /usr/bin/gaim
[06:11] <ladydoor> )
[06:11] <jrib> cleeren: system > adminstration > users and groups.  Go to properties for your user, then "user privileges", and let him "use audio devices"
[06:11] <supermiguel> im using gproftpd
[06:12] <Saftool> ladydoor: tried it and no error messages from the boot options but still getting the i8042 error and still hangign at the login screen
[06:12] <supermiguel> the error on windows says that i dont have permision to do it
[06:12] <cleeren> jrib: thanx a lot, i'll try this...
[06:12] <ladydoor> Saftool: sorry, i wasn't here for the first part of your problem...i'd ask someone who was helping you before :-(
[06:12] <shoonya> hi all
[06:13] <cleeren> jrib/ i suppose i have to be root to do this?
[06:13] <Saftool> ladydoor:its ok i am giving up and stickign to windows :S
[06:13] <jrib> cleeren: no, but you need a user with sudo privileges (your original user works)
[06:13] <shoonya> need help in installing ubuntu edgy knot3
[06:13] <ladydoor> Saftool: whatever you like
[06:13] <cleeren> jrib: yes - ok thanx
[06:13] <ladydoor> shoonya: there'll be more help in #ubuntu+1
[06:13] <shoonya> ok
[06:14] <fulld> ladydoor: thanks
[06:14] <ladydoor> fulld: np.
[06:15] <Tomcat_> smax: Good. :D

[06:18] <smax> cbx33 yes
[06:18] <cbx33> which repos did you get the packages from
[06:19] <smax> cbx33 dapper repo
[06:19] <cbx33> smax, when I did it and got it working i used the quinn repo
[06:19] <adrian> If anyone has 2 minutes, I am a very new convert. I read that ubuntu does not have a firewall switched on initially on install. Is this correct, and is it the same with kubuntu? thx in advance
[06:19] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> how can i clear up my desktop? remove every icon?
[06:19] <cbx33> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager
[06:20] <LjL> adrian: that's correct.
[06:20] <kaolti> hey
[06:20] <LjL> !shorewall
[06:20] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line) or firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing)
[06:20] <kaolti> can i ask a question
[06:20] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> kaolti: no one is stopping you! ask
[06:20] <adrian> Thanks, so I need to look for that then thanks
[06:20] <Yaakov> I think you just did...
[06:20] <kaolti> how can i format a fat32 drive from ubuntu?
[06:20] <LjL> adrian: firestarter and shorewall are the two most common choices for firewall interfaces, i think
[06:20] <txoof> I'm attempting to apt-get packages from the multiverse.  I've added the multiverse lines to /etc/apt/sources.list but the packages don't appear in dselect and apt-get can't find them.  Any ideas where I should start with this problem?
[06:21] <LjL> adrian: however, until you install a server program, i don't think you should worry too much about firewalling
[06:21] <kaolti> i have a windows drive
[06:21] <kaolti> of no
[06:21] <b^j> kaolti, mkdosfs
[06:21] <kaolti> srty

[06:21] <smax> cbx33 don't you know where I can download this pack's manualy ( I have traffic limit)
[06:21] <LjL> txoof: "sudo apt-get update"
[06:21] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> guys how can i clear up the desktop
[06:21] <silent_scream> I installed lirc with success! now how can i control aplications with my remote? i use gnome...
[06:21] <kaolti> the ntfs is mounted
[06:21] <txoof> LjL: it claimst that it is hitting backports/multiverse, but I still can't find the pacages.
[06:21] <kaolti> i cant acces it
[06:22] <surface> PunjabiFLOYDIAN:  cd ~/.Desktop
[06:22] <kaolti> but i have to format it
[06:22] <b^j> kaolti, ntfs is a whole other can of worms, i don't deal with it so can't help you, good luck
[06:22] <kaolti> mkdosfs doesnt work
[06:22] <txoof> packages.ubuntu.com claim that they are there.
[06:22] <kaolti> ok
[06:22] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> i want to clear the icons off it
[06:22] <kaolti> but wait
[06:22] <kaolti> i dont need the data on it
[06:22] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> i want to remove the icons. how to?

[06:22] <LjL> txoof: what package is that?
[06:22] <txoof> LjL: mythtv
[06:22] <txoof> LjL: it's supposed to be in dapper, but I can't find it.
[06:22] <LjL> txoof: can you put your sources.list on the pastebin?
[06:22] <LjL> yes, it is in multiverse indeed
[06:23] <PunjabiFLOYDIAN> guys how to remove the icons from the desktop please?

[06:23] <b^j> kaolti, you have some application, probably a terminal in that dir, cd out of it
[06:23] <lupine_85> then try unmounting it

[06:25] <carlp> hello, when i try to boot ubuntu, i get error: "Error #20    AX=4200    Drive EF"    any clues?
[06:25] <LjL> smax: only the former two run on Linux, and only the first is open source
[06:25] <txoof> LjL: I posted the relevant stuff.
[06:25] <LjL> txoof: what's the link? (and hold on a moment, 'cause for some reason i can't connect to the pastebin)
[06:26] <LjL> txoof: ok, nevermind, connected and found it
[06:26] <b^j> can anyone tell me what became of my virtual terminals, i seem to have lost them and would like them back
[06:26] <txoof> LjL: here's a link to the entire file: http://txoof.ath.cx/sources.list
[06:27] <lsproc> Hi. I installed the standard aresnal of web servers (apache, php, mysql etc.). I try to run a php script, and it tries to download it
[06:27] <b^j> lsproc, php probably doesn't have a file handler in  your httpd.conf file
[06:27] <JosefK> anyone seen "timestamp too far in the future" on a clean install of Dapper?
[06:27] <carlp> hello, when i try to boot ubuntu, i get error: "Error #20    AX=4200    Drive EF"    any clues??
[06:27] <JosefK> can't sudo because of it :/
[06:27] <LjL> txoof: can't load that one either, my connection is acting up... but i got to downlaod the pastebin one. is that your *entire* sources.list? it's a bit short, and it only lists backports, not multiverse?
[06:27] <b^j> JosefK, is your time right?
[06:27] <lsproc> b^j: What shall I add?
[06:28] <txoof> LjL: that's just the line that lists the multiverse section.
[06:28] <LjL> txoof: you have to enable the multiverse part *of the dapper repository*, not of the dapper-backports repository
[06:28] <b^j> lsproc, ahh, i don't remember, the httpd.conf ifile is well documented in the file
[06:28] <lsproc> nope
[06:28] <lsproc> it isnt
[06:28] <JosefK> b^j: date reports okay
[06:28] <txoof> LjL: I see that now.
[06:29] <LjL> txoof: every repository (dapper, dapper-backports, dapper-etcetc) has the "main", "universe", "multiverse" etc sections
[06:29] <afd_> hi! I'm having problems with my ethernet connection. The internet works fine, but as soon as I try to transfer large files on the local network, the network connection freezes and I'm getting NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out in the dmesg
[06:29] <b^j> lsproc, it is in other distros, i don't run ubuntu as a server
[06:29] <txoof> I just realized that.
[06:29] <afd_> Anyone has a clue on what I should do? Googling didn't help
[06:29] <JosefK> b^j: I think it wasn't when I installed (1 hr+), networked time update set it correct, so after an hour it should be okay *sighs*
[06:29] <txoof> LjL: where can I find a link to the proper multiverse entry?
[06:29] <LjL> txoof: so if you only enable multiverse in dapper-backports, you only get the packages from multiverse *that have been backported* (which, i guess, is next to zero)
[06:29] <b^j> JosefK, yeah, should be
[06:29] <LjL> !tell txoof about sources
[06:29] <LjL> !tell txoof about easysource
[06:31] <b^j> lsproc, i have something like     AddType application/x-httpd-php .php on freebsd, i would assume its the same
[06:31] <lsproc> ah
[06:31] <lsproc> thanks
[06:31] <cbx33> how do I install tahoma.ttf in ubuntu for wine?
[06:31] <cbx33> msttcorefonts pacakge doesn't exist any more
[06:32] <b^j> lsproc, sorry that took so long had to jump through a couple systems to get to a host with apache
[06:32] <txoof> Ljl what source do I want for mythtv?  It's listed as part of the multiverse on packages.ubuntu.com
[06:32] <lsproc> still no worky
[06:33] <lsproc> ah
[06:33] <lsproc> anyone know where the php5 apache module is
[06:33] <b^j> lsproc, you restart apache? is the php module loaded via a LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache/libphp5.so or similar?
[06:33] <lsproc> ah
[06:33] <erUSUL> cbx33: i found it in google and just ccopied it to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/
[06:33] <lsproc> i need the loadmodule
[06:33] <cbx33> ok cool
[06:33] <trappist> lsproc: libapache2-mod-php5
[06:33] <trappist> lsproc: apache or apache2?
[06:34] <lsproc> apache2
[06:34] <lsproc> with the libapache
[06:34] <trappist> lsproc: install the above package and sudo a2enmod php5
[06:34] <trappist> a2enmod as in apach2 enable module
[06:34] <trappist> *apache2
[06:34] <lsproc> thanks
[06:35] <lsproc> :D
[06:35] <lsproc> works
[06:35] <lsproc> now, whenever apache loads I get this error:
[06:35] <lsproc> apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName
[06:35] <lsproc> how do i fix that
[06:36] <b^j> lsproc, specify a fqdn in you /etc/hosts and refer to it in your httpd.conf file
[06:36] <trappist> lsproc: set ServerName in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[06:36] <lsproc> uh
[06:36] <lsproc> oh
[06:36] <lsproc> set it to localhost?
[06:36] <b^j> i think it needs to be in your hosts file too, not sure
[06:36] <trappist> b^j: httpd.conf isn't really used anymore
[06:37] <trappist> b^j: it doesn't have to be in /etc/hosts, as long as it's resolvable
[06:37] <lsproc> it didnt
[06:37] <lsproc> its localhost so it doesnt
[06:37] <b^j> trappist, like i said, i don't use ubuntu for servers, i use freebsd or openbsd which still use it
[06:37] <CNote> hello, I have a question on using Hibernation feature on an IBM thinkpad, how to enable it ec.
[06:37] <CNote> etc
[06:38] <trappist> b^j: with apache2?
[06:38] <b^j> trappist, i think i am still using apaceh 1.* due to some random php  issues
[06:38] <b^j> i would need to look
[06:39] <trappist> b^j: same here on freebsd (but not for php issues, which have pretty much been resolved) - anyway httpd.conf is ye olde apache config file, still exists for backwards compatibility, but it's apache2.conf in apache2
[06:40] <HumanPrototype> hey - which kernel is best for an amd dual core?
[06:40] <b^j> i686
[06:40] <b^j> err
[06:40] <trappist> HumanPrototype: amd64 dual core?
[06:40] <b^j> sorry didn't read all your question
[06:41] <b^j> ia64 i would guess, i have intel duo
[06:41] <sonium> does anyone know a site that does a security check on my server? something like nessus, but online?

[06:46] <rootz> anyone know some other mirror do knot-3?
[06:46] <TuxthePenguin84> try the safe install mode on the live cd
[06:46] <the_killer> hi there !!
[06:46] <drache> Right-o.
[06:46] <TuxthePenguin84> drache, this will use the vesa driver
[06:46] <drache> Lame though, I'll have like 0 hardware acceleration
[06:47] <TuxthePenguin84> yea but then you can setup the nvidia drivers later to have acceleration
[06:47] <TuxthePenguin84> i have the same problem with my ati drivers

[06:51] <kintaro0e> hello guys..i cant hear sounds on youtube.com ..what shall i need to install?
[06:51] <[BTF] Chm0d> hey guys im trying to unrar something using ark and i get this error The utility unrar is not in your PATH any suggestions?
[06:51] <drache> I get... hit enter to for default live system
[06:52] <TuxthePenguin84> drache, no menu with a few options?
[06:52] <drache> No menu.
[06:52] <drache> Period.
[06:52] <kitche> [BTF] Chm0d: you probably don't have unrar installed
[06:52] <ismaelbo> hola
[06:52] <TuxthePenguin84> what version of the ubuntu live cd do you have?
[06:52] <drache> 5.10 , it's an older version :\
[06:52] <dpm> [BTF] Chm0d: I know it may sound obvious, but have you installed unrar?
[06:52] <chiefinnovator> wow, I still can't do links on the wiki!  I want to link to another wiki page, is there a special syntax or do I just treat it like a normal link?
[06:52] <jasomja> hi, i have dapper , and want kvim, i try vim-part, last yzis , but nothing finish good, is some way to install vim as kde componnet ? (with compiling yzis i have problem with lib lua) , .... any ideas ??
[06:52] <[BTF] Chm0d> didn't know i needed unrar thought ark handled rar files
[06:52] <ismaelbo> alguien espaol spain
[06:52] <TuxthePenguin84> drache, oh ok you might want to download 6.06.1 LIVE CD
[06:52] <[BTF] Chm0d> but ill install unrar
[06:52] <Arcad3> nornal link
[06:53] <drache> Oh great.... another CD to download.
[06:53] <erUSUL> !es > ismaelbo
[06:53] <jazzrocker> jasomja, just use gvim?
[06:53] <Arcad3> who can help me with this code ef4ce60654d75c40415ed44db0460e94?
[06:53] <P3L|C4N0> ismaelbo, ingrese en  #ubuntu-es
[06:53] <jazzrocker> jasomja, if you use gvim why not use GNOME?
[06:53] <TuxthePenguin84> drache, or try this....
[06:53] <trappist> Arcad3: huh
[06:53] <jasomja> jazzrocker> i want use it as komponent fo kdevelop, od kyzis
[06:53] <LiraNuna> Arcad3, what is this code for?
[06:53] <ismaelbo> hola
[06:53] <Arcad3> a text
[06:53] <TuxthePenguin84> drache, if X fails to start get to a command prompt type: sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:54] <jazzrocker> jasomja, vim was not designed to do that. that's why the kvim project branched, they've got different development goals. vim is not aimed at being an embedable widget
[06:54] <TuxthePenguin84> drache, look for 'driver' and put 'vesa' next to tit
[06:54] <trappist> Arcad3: it's just a bunch of hex characters.  it's useless without knowing what it is.
[06:54] <drache> Hooray, xorg.conf editing, my favourite.
[06:54] <TuxthePenguin84> then do startx
[06:54] <Arcad3> Md5 Hash
[06:54] <Caplain> whats a good dvd player?
[06:54] <trappist> Arcad3: and you want to do what with it.  reverse it?

[06:54] <dpm> I've got a weird "error" with Evolution 2.8 in Edgy. If I launch it from the applications menu ('evolution --component=mail'), it works fine. However, if I start it from a keyboard shortcut defined under System>Preferences>Keyboart Shortcuts>Email, it does not seem to communicate with the gnome-keyring daemon, since it asks me for the password of each and every account upon startup. Any ideas what this could be?
[06:54] <Arcad3> yes
[06:54] <drache> I'll try it as soon as it boots.
[06:54] <erUSUL> ismaelbo: deja de repetir hola y vete a #ubuntu-es (como se te ha dicho 4 o 5 veces) si queres soporte en castellano
[06:54] <jrib> dpm: #ubuntu+1 for edgy support
[06:54] <[BTF] Chm0d> got it kitche THX
[06:55] <TuxthePenguin84> find 'driver' and put 'vesa' in whatevers theres place
[06:55] <dpm> jrib: thanks
[06:55] <trappist> Arcad3: it's theoretically irreversible.  if you have a massive supercomputer handy, you can probably do it in a few years, though.
[06:55] <wols_> TuxthePenguin84: that's the wrong way to do it
[06:55] <wols_> drache: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:55] <TuxthePenguin84> hes using a livecd
[06:55] <Arcad3> i'll try something else
[06:55] <ismaelbo> hola

[06:56] <TuxthePenguin84> oh i thought you said it was a livecd
[06:56] <wols_> Tidus: it'S still irreversible
[06:56] <trappist> Arcad3: also, it's an md5sum of what.  if it's a password, the supercomputer route is your best bet.  if it's like a cd image or something, it absolutely can't be done.
[06:56] <drache> I have both
[06:56] <wols_> Arcad3: you can't since a md5 hash cannot contain the full information of the original unless that original is not bigger than 128 bits
[06:56] <drache> but I have a dead install as well
[06:56] <Arcad3> i thing is a phppage
[06:56] <TuxthePenguin84> the dead install wont let you get to a command line?
[06:57] <Arcad3> encrypted
[06:57] <lin0> mako_ : hi
[06:57] <trappist> Arcad3: can't be done.

[06:58] <Caplain> jrib, what about totem? i cant get it to work, whines about plugins etc
[06:58] <sycho> ok this may sound silly but its something I'm trying to work around. When I put nautilus into "view as list" mode when I copy a file I can't right click and then paste as nautilis always selects a file? anyway that I can make it so when i right click it dosn't select a file or that I can paste?

[06:59] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:59] <drache> Seriously? That gives full acceleration?
[06:59] <wols_> 2D
[06:59] <trappist> drache: no
[06:59] <wols_> drache: but anything is better than VESA
[06:59] <lin0> mako_ : Hi. I have a question for you regarding your participation in the 4th World Forum on Free Knowledge
[06:59] <lupine_85> what's wrong with the nvidia driver?
[06:59] <vovik> anyone know when edgy release is?
[07:00] <lupine_85> !schedul
[07:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about schedul - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:00] <lupine_85> !schedule
[07:00] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more.  I have a bcm4318 card, which if you didn't know, has broken firmware for bcm43xx module ... so, I'm using ndiswrapper ... after finally working around module aliasing probs and such, I finally got my card up, and doing "iwlist eth1 scan" flawlessly ... my problem is that I don't seem to be able to acquire an address from my AP ... any suggestions?
[07:02] <drache> Hnn... nv drivers barf as well
[07:02] <GigaClon> I seem to have both mozilla and firefox on this system can I remove mozilla?
[07:03] <drache> It'll be VESA until I can go through that setup
[07:03] <DutchR_PW> GigaClon: probably
[07:03] <erUSUL> CrippsFX: have you tried 'sudo dhclient eth1'
[07:03] <CrippsFX> drache, if the nv driver is euchered, then just get the proprietary accelerated drivers ;)
[07:03] <ladydoor> erUSUL: lol
[07:03] <DutchR_PW> GigaClon: but maybe it's needed for some other package (try removing it, it will tell you if this is the case)
[07:04] <drache> It won't let me build them I'm quite sure.
[07:04] <drache> I tried before, it eats me in GCC errors and many weird things
[07:04] <sonium> test
[07:04] <knapper> how can I fix the shift+backspace bug? anyone know?
[07:04] <GigaClon> DutchR_PW, the only thing its remove is libswt
[07:04] <CrippsFX> erUSUL, That was the first thing I tried. I don't use the gui to set up my networking.
[07:04] <michael> hi
[07:04] <CrippsFX> drache, read the how to for hardware on the ubuntu wiki ... you don't need to build them.
[07:05] <Admiral_Chicago> knapper, XGL?
[07:05] <DutchR_PW> GigaClon: then it can probably be deinstalled (as nothing depends on that lib)
[07:05] <drache> I know, it just does a mild little setup
[07:05] <knapper> Admiral, I figured it out, tnx
[07:05] <drache> a couple of "Returns" should get it working.
[07:05] <drache> What's the link to the HOWTO?
[07:05] <james296> for some reason I cant remove easyubuntu using Synaptic because it says this...
[07:05] <CrippsFX> drache, gimme a sec, I'll dig it up.
[07:06] <drache> Thank you.
[07:06] <james296> E: easyubuntu: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[07:06] <michael> i read http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Java that there is a final built sun java package for dapper
[07:06] <james296> why is that?
[07:06] <erUSUL> james296:you will get better suport in  #easyubuntu
[07:06] <ladydoor> GigaClon: sudo aptitude remove mozilla-browser
[07:06] <CrippsFX> drache, https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/hardware.html
[07:07] <michael> therefor i added deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted multiverse to my sources.list
[07:07] <GTX> b
[07:07] <GTX> How do I recomplie my kernel to support 1000 Timer frequency
[07:07] <michael> but i cant finde the sun java packages by using adept
[07:07] <erUSUL> !kernel
[07:07] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux'). You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[07:07] <michael> what am i doing wrong ?
[07:07] <wols_> GTX: erm, didn't the kernel do this since... 486 days or so?
[07:07] <wols_> !java
[07:07] <ubotu> To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[07:08] <GTX> wols_, Yes it supports 1000 by I need to set it to that some how.
[07:08] <erUSUL> wols_: no it was 100 then got changed to 1000 then reverted to 250 and now you can choose betwwen the three options
[07:08] <wols_> GTX: you mean the scheduler which decides how many context switches per second?
[07:08] <michael> ubotu, ok... and how can i use the multiverse repository
[07:08] <GTX> no wols_ Kernel Clocker Timer.
[07:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ok... and how can i use the multiverse repository - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:09] <michael> by adding multiverse to my sources list ?
[07:09] <CrippsFX> !multiverse
[07:09] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[07:09] <erUSUL> wols_: in the future with the dynticks patch it will bo timerless to save battery and resources
[07:09] <CrippsFX> michael, that's for you
[07:10] <Astray> :o
[07:11] <Astray> Hi.
[07:11] <carlp> when i download ubuntu, it only says 399megabyte in windows for the .iso  ....   why?
[07:11] <carlp> but i have downloaded 699
[07:12] <Jack_Sparrow> carlp: Is that the alt cd/iso
[07:12] <toby> I have 2 monitors that are set up so that you can't move the mouse from one to the other (this is on purpose) there is a key combination to move the mouse cursor between them but I don't know it - any help?
[07:12] <carlp> Jack_Sparrow:  no
[07:12] <carlp> desktop i386
[07:12] <Jack_Sparrow> md5sum will probably show a bad download
[07:12] <carlp> i have downloaded it 2 times aswell
[07:13] <DutchR_PW> carlp: probably windows shows a wrong filesize or your download is corrupt.
[07:13] <carlp> ok
[07:13] <Astray> Your download didn't finish if it's that small
[07:13] <DutchR_PW> carlp: but if the md5sum is right, you shouldn't worry about it
[07:13] <Jack_Sparrow> nero has a freeware md5 checker
[07:13] <drache> ....
[07:14] <drache> Yeah that didn't work out so well
[07:14] <SS2> does epiphany have a tab remember function?
[07:15] <carlp> where is the md5 checker in nero?
[07:15] <drache> Now I just get a X trying to start, and then hanging there.
[07:15] <drache> With the white cursor.
[07:15] <wols_> carlp: google "windows md5sum download". there are many programs.
[07:15] <drache> I have to mess with this crap later.
[07:16] <drache> thanks for your help!!
[07:16] <Z-DoC> Hello, I have a question ... can you install Ubuntu from the cd without booting the cd? I have a compaq laptop that don't want to boot from the cd ....
[07:17] <DutchR_PW> Z-DoC: you can, but it will be very hard
[07:17] <Jack_Sparrow> carlp: Google nero md5 .. it is a sep. program you download from them
[07:17] <DutchR_PW> as you have to copy the cd to your harddisk manually
[07:17] <Z-DoC> that's what i figured :)
[07:17] <Z-DoC> is there a procedure for that ?
[07:18] <wols_> Z-DoC: you might be able to make a boot floppy
[07:18] <DutchR_PW> I don't know exactly.. you probably have to copy the cd to one harddisk partition first, and then boot from that HD, and then install to another partition

[07:19] <Lunar_Lamp> !ident
[07:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ident - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:19] <Tomcat_> Lunar_Lamp: The xchat website has some info on that.
[07:20] <wols_> Lunar_Lamp: get and identd. midentd comes to mind
[07:20] <deathz0r> hi, i just installed my ubuntu cd on a laptop (acer aspire 3000 series) and i can't set up the modem.
[07:20] <Z-DoC> ok thanks for the ideas..... :)
[07:20] <Tomcat_> Lunar_Lamp: Basically, you install an ident server (whatever you want) and open the port.
[07:20] <nysosym> hi guys
[07:20] <wols_> deathz0r: it's prpbably a winmodem
[07:20] <deathz0r> wols_ means it wont work on ubuntu?
[07:20] <Jack_Sparrow> deathz0r:  what type of modem is it?
[07:20] <nysosym> rhythmbox crashs with this message, maybe any workaround?
[07:20] <nysosym> (rhythmbox:8942): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: unassigned unicode character type found
[07:21] <wols_> deathz0r: probably. manufacturer doesn't give out specs or drivers
[07:21] <Tomcat_> Z-DoC: Probably easier to take the drive out and install somewhere else onto it... or install somewhere else altogether and copy the data over to your disk... should be a similar system then.
[07:21] <carlp> sorry for being a newbeginner, but "paste original checksum"   what should i paste ? :-)
[07:21] <lin0> mako_ : are you coming to the 4th world forum on free knowledge?
[07:21] <Jack_Sparrow> deathz0r: Internal external. serial usb?
[07:21] <deathz0r> Jack_Sparrow internal
[07:21] <ladydoor> Lunar_Lamp: try installing ident2
[07:21] <deathz0r> wols_ yeah, could be
[07:21] <Lunar_Lamp> i don't really understand what ident is to be honest, i'm installing oidentd at the moment - and think i have to enable it in xinetd.conf
[07:21] <ladydoor> Lunar_Lamp: (sudo aptitude install ident2)
[07:21] <ladydoor> Lunar_Lamp: ok, go for it, then!
[07:21] <Tomcat_> Lunar_Lamp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ident
[07:21] <Lunar_Lamp> is ident2 the 'best' then?
[07:21] <wols_> Lunar_Lamp: it's a crappy remnant of days gone by. useless now
[07:21] <mike__> is there a way to chat with webcam in linux
[07:22] <Jack_Sparrow> deathz0r: Does  typing in terminal show your modem  ...  dmesg | grep ttyS
[07:22] <wols_> deathz0r: your're talking about the v90 56k modem, right?
[07:22] <Tomcat_> Lunar_Lamp: Basically it asks the computer on the other side who the person is using the TCP connection... :o
[07:22] <carlp> sorry for being a newbeginner, but "paste original checksum"   what should i paste ? :-)
[07:22] <deathz0r> actually its v92
[07:22] <deathz0r> the autodetect doesnt work
[07:22] <Tomcat_> Lunar_Lamp: But these days, nobody cares anymore anyway.
[07:22] <DutchR_PW> mike_: yes, you can install Kopete or amsn which support webcam chatting afaik
[07:22] <Tomcat_> TobiF \o/

[07:23] <mike__> thaaks
[07:23] <deathz0r> i would like to config the grub loader
[07:23] <Lunar_Lamp> thanks tomcat_ - how do i configure it though - as installed oidentd and it says te daemon is running - but i have no idea how to configure it
[07:23] <deathz0r> but i cant find the root password
[07:23] <Jack_Sparrow> deathz0r: Open a terminal window and type...  dmesg | grep ttyS
[07:23] <DutchR_PW> mike_: no problem
[07:23] <deathz0r> to su and nano it.
[07:23] <wols_> deathz0r: if you installed ubuntu after XP, it should be configured already for dualbooting
[07:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo
[07:23] <Tomcat_> Lunar_Lamp: Check the docs in /usr/share/oidentd... check if there is a file /etc/oidentd or a directory... or /etc/default/oidentd... these are the usual places. The docs will know it though.
[07:23] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:23] <wols_> deathz0r: there is none. use sudo
[07:23] <deathz0r> yes but i want xp to be default
[07:23] <Lunar_Lamp> thanks Tomcat_
[07:23] <deathz0r> my wife gets all crazy about it
[07:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Easy to do
[07:24] <Tomcat_> deathz0r: /boot/grub/menu.lst has a "default" line setting.
[07:24] <Jack_Sparrow> deathz0r: Pick one thing to do at a time
[07:24] <mike__> im also having problems with synaptic mouse in 6.0.6
[07:24] <deathz0r> Tomcat_ yes i know but as many i come from debian and im used to use su, completely forgot about sudo :P
[07:24] <Jack_Sparrow> mike__: asus motherboard or lappy
[07:24] <deathz0r> so my default user is a sudoer?
[07:25] <mike__> laptop
[07:25] <carlp> im sorry, but i dont understand where to find the checksum :(
[07:25] <Lunar_Lamp> Tomcat_ i was under the impression (from in mIRC) that ident was used to specify a username - but i can't see how the conf-file can be used to do this :-s
[07:25] <Jack_Sparrow> deathz0r:    gksudo gedit  /boot/grub/menu.lst   I suggest a backup    sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst ~/menu.lst.backup

[07:27] <jazzrocker> Zemyla, don't worry about that it wants to uninstall "ubuntu-desktop" because that's just a meta-package
[07:27] <trappist> Zemyla: what I do is add a deb-src entry in sources.list, apt-get source the package, and build it myself
[07:27] <jazzrocker> Zemyla, you should uninstall all vim stuff btw
[07:28] <ladydoor> Zemyla: you don't need to uninstall vim
[07:28] <trappist> Zemyla: that is, add a deb-src line for edgy
[07:28] <gershon> some1 on how to reset gnome's audio profiles?
[07:28] <ladydoor> Zemyla: there's a useful command called dpkg-divert
[07:28] <ladydoor> Zemyla: which allows you to keep ubuntu's installed version, which things may depend on now or later.
[07:28] <ladydoor> Zemyla: sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/vim.ubuntu --rename /usr/bin/vim
[07:29] <ladydoor> jazzrocker: please see my last 4 comments to Zemyla--it's more useful and doesn't create dependency problems to use dpkg-divert than to uninstall, in this case.
[07:29] <wetduck> I need someone to help me to share a folder between a Mac with OS X installed and a PC/Ubuntu please.
[07:29] <jazzrocker> ladydoor, i haven't had any dependency problems
[07:30] <rdz> hi all. i am trying to use xinerama, but as soon as xinerama is enabled and i start the X again, the welcome-screen appears completely messed up on the laptop-display. what can i do about that?
[07:30] <rdz> !ubotu xinerama
[07:30] <ubotu> xinerama is using multiple monitors as one big monitor. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo
[07:31] <ladydoor> jazzrocker: fair enough. however, it could cause problems to advise the same thing regarding other packages. for example, in Breezy i did this with firefox to install a more recent version, to avoid messing up anything that depended on firefox.
[07:31] <POVaddct> with ati cards supported by the radeon driver (not fglrx), one should prefer MergedFB over xinerama
[07:34] <rdz> POVaddct, but i use fglrx
[07:35] <Pretto> hi there.. does anyone here installed a windows service app using wine???
[07:35] <POVaddct> rdz: then i cannot help you. i only buy hardware the runs with open source drivers
[07:35] <POVaddct> s/the/that
[07:36] <CrippsFX> rdz, you can run aticonfig from the command line, and it will give you multihead with the right flags
[07:37] <CrippsFX> rdz, if you run aticonfig with no options, and read what it has to say, it's trivial to set up multihead with fglrx
[07:37] <rednaxel> what's the best practice to solve problems with UTF - ISO8859-1 conversion on samba shares? or NTFS/FAT partitions?
[07:38] <Pretto> any help???
[07:38] <lupine_85> mount the partition nls=utf8 ?
[07:38] <lupine_85> Pretto: as in a non-visual process?
[07:38] <lupine_85> don't think that's what wine is aimed at
[07:38] <cbx33> how do I put in preferences fo a package to be obtained fro ma specific repo?
[07:39] <CrippsFX> !patience > Pretto
[07:39] <lupine_85> it "might" work, but I wouldn't rely on it
[07:39] <Pretto> CrippsFX: i just asked.. no need to get attention :)
[07:40] <Pretto> lupine_85: yes.. i have a service that runs in background
[07:40] <Pretto> lupine_85: almost like a webserver
[07:40] <lupine_85> like I said, it might work
[07:40] <CrippsFX> Pretto, over irc, the inflection on what you say is left to the imagination. It quite often gets misconstrued .. that's why it's best to avoid questions like that.
[07:41] <rednaxel> lupine_85, do you have any sample? it's just nls or it needs another parametes
[07:41] <lupine_85> if you have the source, you'd be better compiling it against libwine
[07:41] <lupine_85> rednaxel: no, sorry. I'm pretty sure it's just nls= though
[07:41] <Pretto> lupine_85: it's proprietary,  i have the right to install it.. but i need to test if it can run on linux
[07:42] <CrippsFX> Pretto, then what's stopping you?
[07:42] <cbx33> oh how lovely I get a segmentation fault when force version in synaptic
[07:42] <marcin_ant> hi all
[07:42] <Plouj> any idea what I can do about this: http://sh.nu/p/3302 ?
[07:42] <marcin_ant> in topic on #ubuntu-kernel there is info that there is new kernel with fixed jmicron issue
[07:42] <lupine_85> Pretto: then install linux in a vmware machine and see if it runs
[07:43] <marcin_ant> unfortunately there is no info where is this kernel available to download
[07:43] <Pretto> CrippsFX: i did install it already, but seems that service isnt running... how can i check it?
[07:43] <marcin_ant> does anyone here know if this patched kernel is/will be available for dapper?
[07:43] <wols_> Plouj: it'S acknowledged as a bug but I dunno what you could do sorry.
[07:44] <Plouj> wols_: you mean there is a bug report about this on ubuntu's bugzilla?
[07:44] <CrippsFX> Pretto, using " ps ax|grep <wine or servicename>" is a start
[07:44] <wols_> Plouj: afaik yes

[07:48] <DutchR_PW> does anybody know a way to send keyboard events in python? I've written a lightweight driver for my soundcard remote and now I need a way to emulate keypresses.
[07:48] <Pretto> so CrippsFX, seems that i cant do it huh?
[07:49] <fyrestrtr> DutchR_PW: #python will know
[07:49] <DutchR_PW> thanks
[07:49] <mpech> wols: 10x
[07:49] <CrippsFX> Pretto, semms ... you could try running it from a terminal using the '&' char at the end to be a bg process ... then you should be able to catch its PID if/when it exits
[07:49] <mpech> tring
[07:49] <mpech> i will come back
[07:49] <DutchR_PW> then I have another question: If I finish this driver, how can I propose it for Ubuntu inclusion?
[07:50] <CrippsFX> Pretto, just because you don't get it the first time doesn't mean you can't do it ... just means it's more difficult than you thought :P
[07:50] <Pretto> ok.. CrippsFX, i will try, anyway, thanks for the help
[07:50] <CrippsFX> Pretto, you're welcome.

[08:05] <davin> kitche: doesnt work :/
[08:05] <wols_> then check the /dev/hd* one

[08:07] <davin> kitche: working now, thanks alot!!
[08:07] <lostboyz> oh
[08:07] <lostboyz> but how is it
[08:07] <wols_> !dvd
[08:07] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html  Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[08:07] <kitche> davin: I couldn't remember the command sicne I don't do vfat formating very often but it's always good to look it up
[08:07] <lostboyz> that it works one day and the next it don't work anymore
[08:07] <carles> Hi all
[08:07] <carles> can someone helpme?
[08:08] <wols_> lostboyz: dying DVD ROM then
[08:08] <carles> i have problems with my wireless
[08:08] <erUSUL> !wifi
[08:08] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:08] <wols_> lostboyz: the I/O error would fit that problem
[08:08] <davin> kitche: yes im switching to linux but im backing up my music so first I have to make my usb hdd f32
[08:09] <davin> vfat = fat32?
[08:09] <wols_> more or less
[08:09] <kitche> davin: I understand, by the way vfat is fat pretty much
[08:09] <davin> okay, gonna boot in windows now and back up, thanks everyone!
[08:09] <lostboyz> ok
[08:09] <lostboyz> wols_ what is that exactly?
[08:09] <rdz> !xinerama
[08:09] <ubotu> xinerama is using multiple monitors as one big monitor. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo
[08:09] <wols_> lostboyz: what "that"
[08:10] <lostboyz> dying dvd rom and i/o error
[08:10] <lostboyz> what do you mean
[08:10] <lostboyz> i am not good too much with tinkering
[08:10] <wols_> lostboyz: your DVD ROM is almost broken. dead. kaput
[08:10] <lostboyz> oh
[08:10] <lostboyz> i see
[08:10] <nahoj> when I start the computer in "rescue mode" I end up in console logged in as root. Is this not a security risc?
[08:10] <Crazed> zzz
[08:10] <Crazed> hate ubuntu whine shit :@
[08:11] <jrib> nahoj: no, anyone with physical access can easily get root access
[08:11] <erUSUL> !locales > jeeves_Moss
[08:11] <wols_> nahoj: "physical access trumps anything"
[08:11] <wols_> so not it's not
[08:11] <kitche> nahoj: rescue mode will put you in as root
[08:11] <Soekisan> put it in a server bunker
[08:11] <lampshade> yeah basically any live cd will let you get in as root
[08:11] <nahoj> well, It should be kind of safe if I put a password on BIOS instead?
[08:12] <wols_> nahoj: you are kidding, right?
[08:12] <DutchR_PW> no
[08:12] <Juhaz> not really, they could just snatch the hard drive
[08:12] <jrib> nahoj: you can set a root password if you are really bothered by it
[08:12] <Soekisan> lol
[08:12] <whyme> does anyone know what the app is that ubuntu uses to translate the acpi events from laptop function keys to 'real' key presses?
[08:12] <lampshade> I don't see why people bother with that though, it seems like such a given you know?  Like if you have access to top secret papers, same problem.  It just seems so defacto standard that I don't understand why people even talk about it lol
[08:12] <Soekisan> its not so hard to reset the bios anyways
[08:12] <DutchR_PW> If you have something you want to keep secret, you should encrypt it
[08:13] <DutchR_PW> that's the only way it's safe
[08:13] <kitche> not hard to find out the bios master password either
[08:13] <lupine_85> computers aren't safe, period
[08:13] <TuxthePenguin84> or reset the bios password
[08:13] <lupine_85> if you want safety, get an underground bunker
[08:13] <TheGateKeeper> lol
[08:13] <nahoj> kitche, well, no but I guess it would be safe enough for my non-hacker-flat-mates?
[08:14] <lupine_85> nahoj: if my idiot stoned brother can work it out, your stoned flat mates can ;)
[08:14] <nahoj> just don't wan't them touching my laptop... :P
[08:14] <zmutte> why not encrypt your harddrive?
[08:14] <jrib> he could put the laptop ina  safe
[08:14] <Crazed> pffffffffff
[08:14] <lupine_85> slows down teh pr0nz!!!
[08:14] <zmutte> :>
[08:14] <Crazed> annoying .dmrc permission crap error!!!
[08:14] <zmutte> lupine_85: he just have to wank slower then
[08:14] <zmutte> :>
[08:15] <lupine_85> lol
[08:15] <lupine_85> but then his mum might catch him...
[08:15] <kitche> Crazed: that's an easy fix really
[08:15] <lupine_85> sorry nahoj, couldn't resist
[08:15] <Crazed> yea right set owner permissions right ?
[08:15] <Crazed> or change gdm.conf
[08:15] <Crazed> NONE working
[08:15] <lupine_85> take the laptop with you?
[08:15] <kitche> Crazed: yep well what's the settings on right now think it should be 644 or so
[08:16] <nahoj> zmutte, It's not really like I have something secret or so, It's just that I don't want them to be able to log in to it and use it when I am not there...
[08:16] <Crazed> yes BUT NOT working
[08:16] <nahoj> so encryption sounds like overkill
[08:16] <lupine_85> 644 = rw-r-r IIRC
[08:16] <lupine_85> nahoj: you can set a grub password
[08:16] <lupine_85> might be enough
[08:16] <jrib> nahoj: set the bios password, unless you think they would open up your computer to reset it
[08:16] <lanjelot> hi all! what's the command to create an empty file giving it proper ownerships and permissions ?
[08:16] <TheGateKeeper> nahoj: do they use windows or linux?
[08:16] <lupine_85> touch
[08:17] <jrib> lanjelot: define "proper"
[08:17] <lupine_85> as in touch/home/me/stuff
[08:17] <Crazed> kitche: that is not working ..
[08:17] <Crazed> already tried that ..
[08:17] <nahoj> linux... , TheGateKeeper
[08:17] <rockzman> Can someone help me to setup a local nameserver? (resolv.conf)
[08:17] <wols_> nahoj: encryption then
[08:17] <meryam><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:17] <wols_>  / AND swap
[08:17] <lanjelot> jrib: i'm sorry ?
[08:18] <kitche> rockzman: do you mean a server or just set settings in resolv.conf
[08:18] <lupine_85> rockzman: as in set up a DNS nameserver on your PC?
[08:18] <lanjelot> lupine_85: you can't set mode using touch
[08:18] <lupine_85> apt-get install bind9 works
[08:18] <lupine_85> !bind9
[08:18] <ubotu> bind9: Internet Domain Name Server. In component main, is optional. Version 1:9.3.2-2ubuntu1.1 (dapper), package size 282 kB, installed size 700 kB
[08:18] <wols_> rockzman: do you mean you want to run your own nameserver or set up resolv.conf properly?
[08:18] <Crazed> it's also whining about dcop server error
[08:18] <jrib> lanjelot: what do you mean by "proper permissions and ownership"?
[08:18] <Dethklok> Is it possable to login using XDMCP over the internet?
[08:18] <lupine_85> acts as a caching nameserver
[08:18] <TheGateKeeper> nahoj: I guess then you will probable have to encrypt as they may know how chroot
[08:18] <lupine_85> ...by default
[08:18] <kyja> cool !! I am remastering my own custom build of ubuntu =]
[08:19] <lostboyz_> hi i was wondering if there is a way to make a seperate partition your home when you are installing ubuntu
[08:19] <rockzman> wols_ both, i cant run a localnameserver without running resolv.conf properly
[08:19] <lupine_85> lostboyz_: yep
[08:19] <lupine_85> choose option 3
[08:19] <nahoj> hmm.. sounds like a bios-password will have to do until I have learned some more about encryption, thx
[08:19] <Dethklok> lostboyz: you can manually edit the partitions
[08:19] <lostboyz_> oh
[08:19] <lostboyz_> yes i went through about hour and a half
[08:19] <lupine_85> rockzman: install bind9 then add "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" to resolv.conf
[08:19] <lupine_85> et voila!
[08:19] <lostboyz_> of tinkering with my friend dooglus
[08:20] <lostboyz_> but i think i saved some of the config files still from suse
[08:20] <Crazed> well kitche it was that easy you said .. any other solutions ?
[08:20] <wols_> rockzman: not strictly true. dnsmasq and /etc/hosts. no resolv.conf entry needed
[08:20] <lostboyz_> because now my fstab is screwed up and my desktop is similar to suse desktop was
[08:20] <lupine_85> bah, dnsmasq--
[08:20] <lostboyz_> lupine_85 would you be able to help?
[08:20] <Dethklok> anyone know what port XCMCP uses?
[08:21] <wols_> lupine_85: anything wrong with dnsmasq?
[08:21] <lanjelot> jrib: i just want to touch a file with ownership 'mldonkey' and mode '660' is there a way to do this with only one command
[08:21] <rdz> CrippsFX, if you are still here: can you post me somewhere your xorg.conf? i cannot manage to create or find one, that works here.....
[08:21] <silent_scream> how do i unrar a file that is separeted in many .rar pieces
[08:21] <wols_> lanjelot: write a script
[08:21] <Astray> Is it possible to search with apt via terminal?
[08:21] <J-_> how cna i find out what kernel i have?
[08:21] <lupine_85> lostboyz_: just move out everything in /home and add an fstab entry to turn it into a mountpoint, if you already have a partition
[08:21] <rockzman> lupine_85 ok thanks
[08:21] <Seveas> silent_scream, unrar x first_filename_of_set_hete
[08:21] <wols_> Astray: apt-cache search
[08:21] <Seveas> here*
[08:21] <kitche> silent_scream: unrar one file it should do the others
[08:21] <wols_> J-_: uname -a
[08:21] <DutchR_PW> lanjelot: touch file && chown mldonkey file && chmod 660 file
[08:22] <jrib> lanjelot: not really, just do: touch foo && chmod 660 foo && chown mldonkey foo
[08:22] <DutchR_PW> you might have to add sudo's
[08:22] <J-_> thanks wols_
[08:22] <Astray> wols_, Thanks.
[08:22] <lupine_85> wols_: for a caching nameserver, it's overpowered. If you want to run your own domains, it's not got enough features
[08:22] <lostboyz_> lupine_85 yeah i did that already
[08:22] <rdz> Astray, 'apt-cache search somename'
[08:22] <lupine_85> then you've got what you asked for
[08:22] <rstanca> hello, i have a small ubuntu dapper server install, my problem is with midnight commanger wich looks ugly, UTF problem, any tips on how can i fix that?
[08:22] <wols_> lupine_85: and bind9 is not overpowered for a caching domainserver?
[08:22] <wols_> lupine_85: and for local DNS only, dnsmasq is fine
[08:22] <lupine_85> wols_: maybe a bit ;)
[08:22] <lupine_85> but I prefer bind
[08:23] <lostboyz_> when i put a disc in my dvdrecorder
[08:23] <Crazed> lol kitche now ignoring my question ? :)
[08:23] <lostboyz_> the system hangs
[08:23] <lostboyz_> and there is no entry in fstab
[08:23] <lanjelot> thx jrib DutchR_PW wols_ i just thought i could do it using install(1)
[08:23] <wols_> bind is one of the 3 Evils: bind, wu-ftpd and sendmail :)
[08:23] <lostboyz_> is there a howto on fstab somewhere?
[08:23] <botxj> welcome to the Battlestar Galactia Linux Forum
[08:23] <TheGateKeeper> J-_: cat /proc/version
[08:23] <POVaddct> lostboyz_: man 5 fstab
[08:23] <wols_> lostboyz_: man fstab
[08:23] <lupine_85> snap ;)
[08:23] <kitche> Crazed what question it probably has to do with permissions some fiels have to be setup to 600 others have to be set to 0644 others have to be some other permission
[08:24] <lostboyz_> what do you call a fly flying around in a blondes head?
[08:24] <lostboyz_> Space Invader
[08:24] <rockzman> wols_ dnsmasq would work fine for me ? i just want to put my own machine as dns for another
[08:24] <Crazed> well like I said I told gdm not to check for permissions
[08:24] <Crazed> all permissions are allowed
[08:24] <Crazed> still not working
[08:24] <Seveas> lostboyz_, please stay on topic here
[08:24] <silent_scream> what is the command to unrar the first Seveas
[08:24] <silent_scream> ?
[08:24] <lostboyz_> oh sure
[08:24] <Seveas> silent_scream, unrar x filename_here
[08:25] <kitche> Crazed: what si the file name again?
[08:25] <lupine_85> rockzman: if you want to serve domains, bind is definitely your best bet
[08:25] <Crazed> .dmrc
[08:25] <Crazed> I already found something on ubuntu forums
[08:25] <wols_> rockzman: yes imho
[08:25] <Crazed> but everything I try doesnt work
[08:25] <rockzman> lupine_85 nah i just want to make my server ip as dns for my clients
[08:25] <wols_> rockzman: it's also a dhcp server if you want it to be
[08:25] <kitche> Crazed: ok you can cp .dmrc .dmrc.bak then delete .dnrc tos ee if it will work then
[08:25] <lupine_85> ah, ok
[08:25] <lupine_85> ignore me then ;)
[08:26] <lupine_85> either will do what you want
[08:26] <Crazed> will try that later ..
[08:26] <Crazed> don't got time now ;)
[08:26] <rockzman> lupine_85 hehe so i hear the wols
[08:26] <rockzman> :P
[08:26] <Seveas> Crazed, if many things complain about permissions, you probably made your homedirworld writable oslt
[08:26] <silent_scream> seveas thanks
[08:26] <Crazed> didnt change anything like that Seveas ..
[08:28] <wols_> lanjelot: install only copies. it doesn't create a file
[08:28] <A-L-P-H-A> how does one get library packages?  I'm missing 4 to compile xchat-gnome 0.13.  "libglade-2.0" "gnome-vfs-2.0" "libgnomeui-2.0" and "gconf-2.0".
[08:28] <Onbir> How to get deskbar with beagle support?
[08:28] <wols_> apt-get build-dep
[08:28] <wols_> aLPHa_LeaK: : apt-get build-dep
[08:28] <A-L-P-H-A> wols_: thanks
[08:28] <Seveas> A-L-P-H-A, you need the -dev packages of those libraries, /msg ubotu compiling
[08:28] <wols_> aLPHa_LeaK: and to compile you usually need the dev packages
[08:29] <aLPHa_LeaK> wols_: stop highlighting me please, thank you.
[08:29] <rstanca> hello, i have a small ubuntu dapper server install, my problem is with midnight commanger wich looks ugly, UTF problem, any tips on how can i fix that? also how can i add more locales, i only have en_US.UTF-8
[08:29] <Caplain> when i go to play a dvd it plays the mgm intro and then errors out saying the source cannot be read
[08:29] <wols_> !locales > rstanca

[08:30] <wols_> rockzman: you already run a dns server
[08:30] <rockzman> wols_ well why ppl dont resolv addresses using my server ip as dns then
[08:30] <wols_> and port 53/udp is already in use
[08:30] <wols_> rockzman: misconfig perhaps?
[08:30] <rockzman> wols_
[08:30] <walkover> hey im trying to install xgl and it seems that gdm is not able to launch my xgl startup script. I have chmod +x 'ed on it and even chmod 777 to be sure. Does anyone know what is going on?

[08:32] <antares79> hi everyone
[08:32] <antares79> what's with lilo?
[08:32] <rdemanow> !samba
[08:32] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[08:33] <wols_> antares79: lilo the person is dead. traffic hit and run
[08:33] <antares79> oh :-(
[08:33] <DutchR_PW> I have to go, so bye everyone
[08:33] <antares79> bye
[08:33] <lostboyz_> what is a good book to get started learing ubuntu and how to use it?
[08:34] <Astray> lostboyz_, Best Ubuntu book ever, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/
[08:34] <sofus> heeh
[08:34] <wols_> lostboyz_: I wouldn't get a distro specific book. waste of time and money. instead learn the general linux ways
[08:35] <antares79> lostboyz: it's not about ubuntu, but i'm pretty fond of the "The Debian system - concepts and techniques"
[08:35] <Descention> hello, i am having problems enabling nvidia drivers on ubuntu 6.06
[08:36] <antares79> this is the homepage: http://debiansystem.info/
[08:36] <Boson_> drivers allways the same problem, on windows its just doble click, and restar the computer.
[08:36] <Descention> if i edit the xorg.conf device driver setting from "nv" to "nvidia" i get an error loading X11
[08:36] <lostboyz_> anyone know how to open a .chm document?
[08:37] <swim> hello
[08:37] <antares79> descention: what's the error message?
[08:37] <[A] ndy80> Hi
[08:37] <swim> I cannot get my floppy drive to be read.
[08:37] <swim> Could anyone help?
[08:37] <Descention> something about it not being able to load nvidia-glx
[08:37] <[A] ndy80> I got a problem with my gnome session: windows decoration disappeared :( Ho can I restore them? I try ti execute gnome-window-decorator but no success...
[08:37] <antares79> is nvidia-glx installed?
[08:38] <Descention> yes
[08:38] <Boson_> lets say i connecto thru a external Open AP with spoofed mac, and i made an attack, the attack takes about 30 min, but they will not notice the attake after days... the question: Can i be caught? if reponse is YES, tell how. thnks
[08:38] <infinito> does anyone here know how to change the gnome-keyring password??
[08:38] <stadtfilter> any clue where to look if mount claims that a partiton is mounted when I try to mount it, but it does not show where it is mounted?
[08:38] <aeroSoul> [A] ndy80: try running "metacity"
[08:39] <antares79> descention: can you paste the error message anywhere? there's a link to a pastebin in the topic
[08:39] <aeroSoul> in a shell or something
[08:39] <variant> stadtfilter: type mount on its own, it will tell you what is mounted where
[08:39] <[A] ndy80> aeroSoul: cool! that fixed my problem! I hope the session will be saved :)
[08:39] <stadtfilter> variant, that's the joke, it does not show hda3
[08:40] <variant> stadtfilter: cat /etc/mtab
[08:40] <Descention> would the error be in any log?
[08:40] <antares79> stadtfilter: run 'cat /proc/mounts'
[08:40] <wols_> Boson_: is this open AP near your flat?
[08:40] <J-_> I just tried to install my graphics driver using ubuntu's tutorial, now x11  won't start up, I don't know what to do. any help would be appreciative.
[08:40] <antares79> descention: /var/log/X.org.0.log probably
[08:40] <Boson_> [wols_]  no, not near,
[08:40] <antares79> or something along those lines anyway ;-)
[08:40] <wols_> J-_: look in your X.logs in /var/log/
[08:41] <stadtfilter> variant, antares79, both nope. Maybe this does matte, I also do run a raid1 with mdadm and I ant to add hda3 to the raid but it fails, but imho this should not matter?
[08:42] <antares79> ah... is it a swap partition, maybe? what does swapon -s show?
[08:42] <chillmod1> hi everyone.. someone who know how to insert a theme folder into the usr/shere/them foldedr?
[08:42] <antares79> that's what I ran into... took me ages ;-)
[08:42] <chillmod1> it says that i dont have promision
[08:42] <antares79> oh, right... run 'sudo swapon -s'
[08:43] <stadtfilter> antares, nah, it's ext3, hda/hdb5 are the swaps
[08:43] <kitche> chillmod1: sudo cp -r <theme folder> /usr/share/theme
[08:43] <J-_> wols_: i cd /var/log/ now what do i do to look at the logs
[08:43] <chillmod1> thanx u are the best
[08:43] <wols_> J-_: less Xorg.log
[08:43] <wols_> J-_: or just the newest Xorg log
[08:45] <rockzman> wols_ ** server can't find uol.com.br: REFUSED
[08:45] <J-_> wols_: what do i input to see the log? i cd's to teh folder, i don't know what to do next.
[08:45] <Luxurious> Hiya.  I need to inventory my system, see information about all my hardware.  How do I do that from the command line?
[08:45] <J-_> cd'd*
[08:45] <antares79> stadtfilter: so I got it right, you're trying to add a partition to a raid 1, but you can't because it says it's already mounted?
[08:46] <DigitalNinja> Is there an easy way to do software RAID?
[08:46] <rockzman> wols_ even installing dnsmasq i cant resolve address
[08:46] <stadtfilter> antares79, well, mdadm says something else (can not claim bd_claim hda3), for testing I tried to mount hda3 somewhere and the it says it is already mounted
[08:46] <antares79> ah, alright...
[08:46] <antares79> how did you setup the other raid sets?
[08:47] <DigitalNinja> Are we all doing RAID today?
[08:47] <antares79> at least i do, digitalninja
[08:48] <DigitalNinja> nice
[08:48] <stadtfilter> antares79, mh what of info would you like? I got a /boot, which are both now on md0. hdb3 is now in md1, now also hda3 should go there
[08:48] <stadtfilter> boot is on hda/hdb1
[08:48] <J-_> Now i know why i didn't install the nvidia driver a while ago. Can't seem to get x11 to work, and when i ask for help. Do i get it, no. How can Ubuntu be successful if the support isn't there?
[08:48] <DigitalNinja> Will the Ubuntu installer let you do software RAID?
[08:49] <swim> I cannot get my floppy drive to be read.
[08:49] <swim> Could anyone help?
[08:49] <wols_> rockzman: what dns server do your clients use?
[08:49] <hummigbird1> Hello
[08:49] <antares79> hmm... stadtfilter: i can't say for sure, but i've had some problems with evms doing funny stuff... can you disable it, reboot and try again?
[08:49] <hummigbird1> Can anyone give me a helping hand with installing Ubuntu/Kubuntu ?
[08:49] <wols_> rockzman: and what is in your /etc/resolv.conf? (your ISPs DNS server?)
[08:49] <antares79> digitalninja: the alternate cd installer will let you do it
[08:50] <krups> hummingbird1: what do you need?  should just be pop cd in and go.
[08:50] <hummigbird1> I would like to install it on a Biblo b142 Subnotebook
[08:50] <DigitalNinja> antares79: I tried that once and it didn't work
[08:50] <hummigbird1> It can not boot from CD
[08:50] <hummigbird1> It only has a Floppy and an external USB CD
[08:50] <krups> can't boot from external cd?
[08:51] <hummigbird1> nope
[08:51] <xMorphix> Hey all
[08:51] <krups> positive?
[08:51] <Descention> my nvidia log is here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24898
[08:51] <kitchen> How does storage work on ubuntu? fstab doesn't seem to contain anything. I've just changed HDDs and can't figure how to change all the HDD paths...
[08:51] <Lunar_Lamp> a while back i changed themes in kcontrol, despite running gnome, now i can't get amarok to stop looking so ugly.  The colours for the list have taken on the theme, and i can't find whatever the default theme was in kcontrol :-s
[08:51] <hummigbird1> Absolutely positive
[08:51] <antares79> well, you really need to know what you're doing, when you set that up, digitalninja...
[08:51] <stadtfilter> antares, mh, no evms running here
[08:51] <Descention> er, X11 log
[08:51] <DigitalNinja> antares79: Well, I can do it on centOS
[08:51] <stadtfilter> damn so strange
[08:52] <antares79> stadtfilter, it's usually started at boot, but no processes show up
[08:52] <antares79> descention: i'll take a look
[08:52] <DigitalNinja> antares79: I ran into some documentation that said the debian installer couldn't do software raid. There is a way to do it but I don't remember what that is
[08:52] <Descention> antares79: thank you
[08:52] <stadtfilter> antares79, okay... just had another idea but lost it again, too much people running arround and asking stuff, need some meditation...
[08:53] <antares79> ;-) stadtfilter
[08:53] <krups> hummingbird1: you setup the bios to try usb first?
[08:53] <hummigbird1> Yes
[08:53] <antares79> descention: alright, it says it can't load the kernel module. do you have the linux-restricted-modules package installed?
[08:53] <hummigbird1> There is no Option in the BIOS
[08:53] <hummigbird1> Its a very old Subenotebook
[08:54] <Yaakov> kitchen!
[08:54] <Lunar_Lamp> how do i reduce the font size of text in the playlist in amarok?
[08:54] <krups> hummingbird1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[08:55] <Descention> antares79: i dont know... if it's the "nvidia-kernel-common" then yes, but otherwise no
[08:55] <Yaakov> kitchen: My fstab is full of pathy goodness.
[08:55] <_Sasu> hi all :) i have this strange problem: i installed xgl and after the reboot i can't change my refresh rate...i really need to change it otherwise i can't see all my desktop :(
[08:55] <Descention> wait, yes
[08:55] <kitchen> Yaakoov: strange, mine only has 2 lines. perhaps it gets populated on boot ?
[08:55] <whatsreal> xMorphix:
[08:55] <Yaakov> kitchen: So it would seem...
[08:55] <eugman> I need to run a occasianally cpu intesive program without it being able to lock up the computer.
[08:56] <hummigbird1> Hmmm ... I have used a SmartBootManager
[08:56] <Descention> antares79: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-23-386
[08:56] <mpech> i did it
[08:56] <hummigbird1> But I will try the latest one to make sure#
[08:56] <kitchen> Yaakov: Any idea what I have to change to get it to populate differently?
[08:56] <Yaakov> kitchen: I am very new to *ubuntu, so sadly no.
[08:56] <_Sasu> anyone? :P
[08:57] <antares79> thanks, descention... is there anything about the nvidia module in the output of 'dmesg'?
[08:57] <kitchen> Yaakov: ok, thx, anyone else any ideas how fstab gets populated on boot?
[08:57] <aeroSoul> eugman: try cpulimit
[08:57] <kinection> Hello, I'm having a problem with my xorg, it's saying that ati and radeon drivers are not found... but sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-driver-ati is "newest version"
[08:57] <kinection> what's going on?
[08:57] <kinection> i can't get into my X server right now
[08:58] <eugman> AeroSoul, ok I'll give it a look. Do you know what changing the nice level would do?
[08:58] <thenetduck> I can't write or make forlders on my internal hard drive... how can I make it able to let me write stuff on my hard drive??
[08:58] <Descention> antares79: in my xorg.conf file? no
[08:58] <Yaakov> kitchen: You know, I went with the default partitioning.  Perhaps you have to rebuild fstab after the device is gone.
[08:58] <krups> hummingbird1: only other option that comes to mind is you can take the laptop hd out and put it in another machine with a hd and install there.  might need appropriate cable to plugin the hd though.
[08:58] <antares79> descention: no, try running "dmesg" in a console window
[08:58] <Yaakov> kitchen: That is, it could have made this for me.
[08:58] <Descention> ok
[08:58] <Yaakov> kitchen: And by rebuild, I mean edit it yourself.
[08:58] <t0taln00b> is ur hard drive ntfs?
[08:58] <hummigbird1> @Krups: The CD Drive does not appear :(
[08:59] <aeroSoul> eugman: nice could help, too
[08:59] <Justy-> Hello all!
[08:59] <aeroSoul> eugman: with cpulimit you can limit how much % of cpu a prog/pid may use
[08:59] <botxj> HEY! EXCUSE ME HERE! I"M TALKING TO YOUZ GUYZ, are the compiz directories fixed now?
[08:59] <ladydoor> !caps
[08:59] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[08:59] <kitchen> Yaakov: I don't have a problem with manually editing, but there's obviously something else adding to it on boot; need to know what that is..
[08:59] <botxj> no y'all cant read lower case
[08:59] <eugman> AeroSoul, man and synaptic don't seem to know of cpulimit.  I use gnuchess but it eats all of my CPU. Is there any way to solve this?
[09:00] <Descention> antares79: it's too long for me to read everything it spits out
[09:00] <TheGateKeeper> Yaakov: kitchen fstab gets created when you first install the software, from that point it will only change if you change it
[09:00] <botxj> are the compiz directories fixed now?
[09:01] <swim> please
[09:01] <wols_> _hyperion: man renice
[09:01] <swim> I cannot get my floppy drive to be read.
[09:01] <swim> Could anyone help?
[09:01] <antares79> descention: it will probably be at the end of it all anyway... maximize your console window
[09:01] <_hyperion> -wols_-, what's renice?
[09:01] <wols_> swim: are you mounting the floppy?
[09:01] <ladydoor> kitchen: so wait...does your fstab keep growing, or is the problem that it's only got the two lines?
[09:01] <aeroSoul> eugman: http://marlon80.interfree.it/cpulimit/ download and compile... it wont do any damage...
[09:01] <wols_> _hyperion: man renice
[09:01] <alpha-lappy> anyone know why when i go 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' it would pop into a terminal, and stop at "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [ok] " and just stop?
[09:01] <ladydoor> Yaakov: i'll do my best
[09:01] <thenetduck> can somone help me be able to access my internal slave driver????
[09:01] <Yaakov> ladydoor: Who could ask more?
[09:01] <aeroSoul> eugman: compile and copy the cpulimit file to /usr/bin or something...
[09:02] <swim> wols_: no because it is not in fstab
[09:02] <mpech> why geeting window coredumps in boot
[09:02] <kitchen> TheGateKeeper: I switched HDDs, so I rebooted into the live environment, copied my system accross in its entirety (including fstab), went to modify fstab, assuming I would need to adjust paths etc. due to the new HDD layout, but found it only had a couple of lines in it...
[09:02] <whatsreal> swim: you can only access hardware as root this may be key
[09:02] <mpech> 6.06
[09:02] <Yaakov> ladydoor: On second thought... this _is_ IRC.
[09:02] <eugman> aeroSoul, Wouldn't make install be a more intelligent way of doing that?
[09:02] <siXy> does anyone here know why fgl_glxgears and glxgears hangs kubuntu 6.06?
[09:02] <ladydoor> Yaakov: lol
[09:02] <wols_> swim: you can mount it without that via sudo
[09:02] <wols_> siXy: shitty ati drivers? (just a guess...)
[09:02] <aeroSoul> eugman: maybe... i didn't try =)
[09:02] <ladydoor> kitchen: ok, so did you do partitioning in the live environment? if you did, did you specify the locations of your old partitions?
[09:02] <aeroSoul> only copied that one file
[09:02] <siXy> clean install literally all ive done is installed the fglrx kernel module
[09:03] <J-_> how can i reconfigure x11?
[09:03] <Yaakov> ladydoor: For the record, kitchen is a largely clueful individual.
[09:03] <swim> wols_: i also do not have an fd0 in /dev/
[09:03] <habeeb> Hello, I'm having some "kewl" problems.  Something like "Not in sync" or something. When I type my username/pass (blindly) I get to GNOME alright.
[09:03] <sivik> how deo i fix "Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library"?
[09:03] <wols_> J-_: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-corg
[09:03] <Descention> antares79: i dont see anything with nvidia... the closest thing is "ACPI: Video Device [NVD]  (multi-head: yes  rom: no  post: no)"
[09:03] <wols_> habeeb: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-corg
[09:03] <xMorphix> habeeb: Did you swear at the computer, because that helps sometimes
[09:03] <ladydoor> Yaakov: i figured, from the way kitchen was working questions--they seemed more not as rude and demanding as a clueless person would be, luckily :-)
[09:03] <eugman> wols, who do I ask to have that answer added to ubotu?
[09:04] <habeeb> xMorphix: It did nothing. Absolutely nothing.
[09:04] <wols_> swim: dmesg|less and look for the floppy
[09:04] <[GuS] > Guys, there is a app or plugin for firefox to block porn sites?
[09:04] <antares79> descention: what about "dmesg | grep -i nvidia"?
[09:04] <aeroSoul> [GuS] : you could use dansguardian (proxy)
[09:04] <swim> wols_: dmesg|grep floppy did not return a floppy
[09:04] <sivik> [GuS] , are you using some sort of router?
[09:04] <habeeb> wols_: did that :) Tried multiple resolutions. Cant get the 1680x1050 to work with fglrx, tho.
[09:04] <[GuS] > other thing than a proxy?
[09:04] <TheGateKeeper> kitchen: hmmm
[09:04] <[GuS] > yes sivik
[09:04] <botxj> are the compiz directories fixed now?
[09:04] <wols_> swim: try fd. or look how the linux floppy modula is named
[09:05] <Descention> antares79: nothing
[09:05] <sivik> [GuS] , what kind?
[09:05] <xMorphix> GuS: Why block porn sites?
[09:05] <ladydoor> !compiz
[09:05] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[09:05] <kitchen> ladydoor: I used fdisk to do all the partitioning. where would I have specified locations of old partitions? I simply mounted them on temp mount points to copy stuff accross to the new HDD
[09:05] <ladydoor> botxj: ^^^
[09:05] <thenetduck> can somone help me be able to write documents to my internal slave drive?
[09:05] <J-_> wols_: it says xserver-corg is not installed
[09:05] <kitchen> ladydoor: then I modified grub, which also worked fine.
[09:05] <botxj> i hate the repositories
[09:05] <sivik> [GuS] , if its a linksys, you can log in and block certain words or phrases to not be able to get threw
[09:05] <[GuS] > sivik, adsl/router
[09:05] <swim> wols_ i've tried /dev/fd to no avail, dont know what else to try
[09:05] <sivik> botxj, what don't you like about it?
[09:05] <botxj> that they dont work
[09:05] <sivik> [GuS] , linksys?
[09:06] <thenetduck> anyone?
[09:06] <[GuS] > nope, Arescom
[09:06] <sivik> botxj: are you using the us.archive.ubuntu.com stuff
[09:06] <ladydoor> kitchen: yeah, that makes sense. huh. does this happen again if you edit them and then reboot?
[09:06] <botxj> now i'll have to reinstall to 32bit ubuntu and install using the deb packages
[09:06] <sivik> [GuS] , i would look into the router to see if you can block that stuff
[09:06] <wols_> Descention: lsmod. check for nvidia
[09:06] <botxj> sivik i dunno
[09:06] <antares79> descention: is there an nvidia-related file in /lib/modules/*/volatile at all?
[09:06] <[GuS] > <xMorphix> GuS: Why block porn sites? ---< silly question does it? ....
[09:06] <kitchen> ladydoor: it boots fine (apart from complaining about not being able check partitions which are no longer there), but then can't find /home (as I've moved it to a seperate partition on the new one, wheras I had it within / on the old one)
[09:06] <ladydoor> botxj: just ask in #ubuntu-xgl, the appropriate channel
[09:06] <sivik> botxj: go to terminal, open /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:06] <wols_> Descention: if it doesn't exist, "modprobe nvidia". and to make it permanent, add "nvidia" to /etc/modules
[09:06] <xMorphix> GuS: lol, porn is the best part of the internet! :P
[09:07] <[GuS] > ok sivik, the problem is that router only accepts IE for HTTP conf... so i must use telnet
[09:07] <xMorphix> GuS: You should be able to build a filter through the firefox program itself
[09:07] <antares79> i heard that xMorphix ;-)
[09:07] <botxj> well ladydoor as much i'd like to, i've already gotten my answer :P
[09:07] <sivik> [GuS] , thats gay
[09:07] <J-_> wols_: it says xserver-corg is not installed
[09:07] <xMorphix> antares79: ;) haha
[09:07] <Descention> wols_: it doesnt say nvidia anywhere
[09:07] <[GuS] > yea sivik ... Arescom for that really sucks
[09:07] <ladydoor> kitchen: weird...so each time it boots, it rewrites it? sorry, i missed the first part of your conversation
[09:07] <wols_> J-_: xserver-xorg srry
[09:07] <xMorphix> ladydoor <---- Doesn't Sleep, is a help MASTA
[09:07] <sivik> [GuS] , not sure, is there not a place on that page that will allow you to block stuff?
[09:08] <sivik> [GuS] , and why just IE
[09:08] <ladydoor> xMorphix: lol...you obviously miss the most-of-every-day when i'm *not* here. but i appreciate the compliment
[09:08] <[GuS] > xMorphix, happy for you if you like it... bit i have a place with a lot of Kubuntu workstation.. where everybody comes... and i must block it
[09:08] <[GuS] > ok?
[09:08] <sivik> how do i fix a problem with local
[09:08] <[GuS] > :)
[09:08] <antares79> descention: but you _are_ trying to use the ubuntu provided nvidia driver, you're not compiling it yourself, are you?
[09:08] <kitchen> ladydoor: I don't know, I should have checked before I switched the HDD. All I know is that the fstab that I copied accross only contained a couple of generic lines
[09:08] <wols_> !locales >sivik
[09:08] <xMorphix> GuS: Interesting, well you should be able to set settings with firefox to need a password to view certain websites
[09:08] <kitchen> ladydoor: so I assume that it gets populated on boot
[09:09] <wols_> Descention: then do what I told you
[09:09] <kitchen> ladydoor: I think fedora uses evms to manage storage, I thought ubuntu might to something similar. I've come from gentoo, which just went with a straight-forward fstab approach to storage
[09:09] <sivik> wols_, thanks
[09:09] <Yaakov> [GuS] : The problem is that there are a mega-gazillion porn sites.
[09:09] <ladydoor> kitchen: aha! ok, actually you can edit it yourself to add appropriate locations
[09:09] <xMorphix> GuS: Do you use ubuntu OS?
[09:09] <Yaakov> [GuS] : Some kind of subscirption service like NetNanny or the like is probably the only way.
[09:09] <antares79> yaakov: what's your point? it's to bothersome to find the good ones? ;-)
[09:09] <[GuS] > Yaakov, i know... but something is something
[09:09] <Descention> I dont know how to compile
[09:10] <ladydoor> kitchen: do you happen to remember which partitions you assigned to what? if not, sudo fstab -l may refresh your memory.
[09:10] <antares79> ok, descention, just asking
[09:10] <[GuS] > i wil test dansguardian first
[09:10] <wols_> Descention: have you run "modprobe nvidia" yet?
[09:10] <siXy> gus DansGuardian
[09:10] <xMorphix> ladydoor: here is a question for you!
[09:10] <Descention> antares79: i downloaded nvidia-glx from the synaptic thing
[09:10] <ladydoor> xMorphix: shoot!
[09:10] <xMorphix> ladydoor: Ready!
[09:10] <Descention> wols_: yes, it said module not found
[09:10] <xMorphix> ladydoor: when I go into my terminal and do su, it asks for a password
[09:10] <antares79> what gfx card do you have, anyway?
[09:10] <kitchen> ladydoor: ok, sounds good, I'll give that a go. What made my curious was the fact that it moaned about not finding certain partitions to run fsck on, implying that it knew where stuff was - but that stuff wasn't in fstab
[09:11] <xMorphix> ladydoor: when I enter anything it says authorization failed
[09:11] <siXy> run an old computer as an ipcop box - install squid webproxy and run dansguardian. thats the best solution
[09:11] <xMorphix> ladydoor: so what is my password? :P
[09:11] <optimusprime> how do you remove an icon from the desktop....can't remember how I did to place it on the desktop....
[09:11] <Descention> antares79: i have an Nvidia geforce go 6800 ultra
[09:11] <ladydoor> kitchen: yeah, that is weird. i honestly don't know what's up with that
[09:11] <variant> anyone know how to edit the menu in gnome please?
[09:11] <optimusprime> lol
[09:11] <antares79> that's weird, descention
[09:11] <wols_> xMorphix: there is no root password. you can't go into root. use sudo
[09:11] <Yaakov> kitchen: There must be something that keeps a list for maintenance.  Maybe grep /etc?
[09:11] <xMorphix> wols_: Interesting
[09:11] <ladydoor> xMorphix: here's the thing:  ubuntu, by default, uses sudo for root access. when using sudo, you use your password. to become root, sudo -i is the command to use
[09:11] <Mouldy> hey all! Does anyone know how to make it so firefox can open irc:// links with xchat? It just tells me the irc protocol isn't associated with any programs.
[09:11] <wols_> !sudo > xMorphix
[09:12] <antares79> descention, what's in the directory /lib/modules/*/volatile ?
[09:12] <variant> xMorphix: do sudo su if you want to become root however that is not the reccomended method
[09:12] <kitchen> ladydoor: yeh, sounds likely, I'll check for that. brb (I'm on the kitchen pc as mine's down ;)
[09:12] <ladydoor> Mouldy: check out this extension:  mozex.modzev.org
[09:12] <xMorphix> variant/ladydoor/wols_ : So what do you recommend I do
[09:12] <POVaddct> xMorphix: "there is not root password" does not mean that the root password is empty, though :)
[09:12] <Descention> antares79: nothing
[09:13] <Mouldy> ladydoor, will do, thanks
[09:13] <ladydoor> Mouldy: it lets you assign programs to various and sundry types of links
[09:13] <POVaddct> xMorphix: there is just no valid password set for root
[09:13] <antares79> that's rather not good, descention
[09:13] <variant> xMorphix: run whatever command you want to run with root privilages with "sudo commandname" and enter your password
[09:13] <wols_> xMorphix: you can set a root password. or just use sudo
[09:13] <variant> POVaddct: yes there is..
[09:13] <Mouldy> ladydoor, was that a typo on the link? It's not finding the right page.
[09:13] <variant> POVaddct: its randomised though
[09:13] <xMorphix> wols_ : So lets set my password
[09:13] <Yaakov> sudo is a nice, clean, safe way ot act as superuser.
[09:13] <Descention> lol, nice
[09:13] <Ackeubu_> fluxbox &
[09:13] <xMorphix> wols_: sudo <whatever I want> ?
[09:13] <ladydoor> xMorphix: i would advise you to use sudo, and use sudo -i to su to root. if you *absolutely need* a root password, you can use sudo passwd root, but that is a LAST RESORT. use it only if your religion forbids sudo -i
[09:13] <wols_> xMorphix: yes
[09:14] <antares79> descention, are you up to date wrt to updates?
[09:14] <Descention> antares79: do you know what i should do?
[09:14] <xMorphix> ladydoor: lol
[09:14] <Descention> antares79: yes
[09:14] <xMorphix> ladydoor: I Just want to have something set, I don't NEED to use root
[09:14] <ladydoor> Mouldy: http://mozex.mozdev.org/ should work
[09:14] <xMorphix> ladydoor: Great, first I can't eat meat, now I can't use a root
[09:14] <Mouldy> ladydoor, thanks alot
[09:14] <POVaddct> variant: the password hash for root is not radomly set, is it "*", which can't be generated by any password
[09:14] <xMorphix> ladydoor: damn the religions
[09:14] <rexbron> !dri
[09:14] <ubotu> dri is direct rendering infrastructure, a framework for allowing direct access to graphics hardware under the X Window System in a safe and efficient manner.
[09:14] <antares79> don't know yet, descention... please wait a minute
[09:15] <rexbron>  I have a wierd problem, I have dri but no3d accel
[09:15] <albacker> any way to convert 3gp videos to swf or anything else ?
[09:15] <ladydoor> xMorphix: ok, then i guess you can do what i just said--however, do keep in mind it's not the "suggested" way of doing things :-)
[09:15] <ladydoor> xMorphix: and lol
[09:15] <kitche> rexbron: what card are you using?
[09:15] <xMorphix> ladydoor: thanks hun
[09:15] <rexbron> i915

[09:16] <rexbron> kitche: i915
[09:16] <ladydoor> xMorphix: though if you meant it in the sense of "attila/door the..." then you're fine
[09:16] <Descention> antares79: yes
[09:17] <antares79> is there anything in it?
[09:17] <Descention> antares79: 8 files

[09:17] <Mouldy> ladydoor, I won't install. Says there's something wrong with the chrome file.
[09:18] <Descention> antares79: nv.o is one... nvidia.mod.o might be what im looking for?
[09:18] <robbbb> hello
[09:18] <variant> anyone know where the menu file is located so i can add my own custome entry?
[09:18] <variant> in gnome
[09:18] <kitche> rexbron: well try this glxinfo|grep rendering in a terminal
[09:18] <antares79> those are the ones, yes... but they should also be relocated to another place where the kernel can find them automatically.. looks like that doesn't happen on your system
[09:18] <ladydoor> Mouldy: this'll sound like a stupid question, but did you click on the "install" button for windows or for *nix??
[09:18] <stadtfilter> ah finally...in dmesg it shows Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda3 ro quiet splash....from where did it take that? grub?
[09:18] <robbbb> anyone in here know much about programming in linux? specificly using a visual environment and connections to MSSQL?
[09:18] <Mouldy> ladydoor, For *nix :p
[09:19] <rexbron> direct rendering: Yes
[09:19] <rexbron> kitche: direct rendering: Yes
[09:19] <Descention> antares79:  so something is wrong
[09:19] <antares79> descention: try running "sudo /etc/init.d/linux-restricted-modules-common start"
[09:19] <Imrahil> robbbb, do you mean mysql or ms sql server?
[09:19] <spiderworm> hey all, i have a blender.desktop entry in /usr/share/applications, but no corrosponding blender application in applications>graphics..... does anyone know how to fix this?
[09:19] <blade_> Any one in here familiar with Rythmbox Music Player?
[09:19] <Mouldy> ladydoor, It seems to start installing, then after it tells me to restart firefox it says; "Firefox could not install the file at .... because: Chrome registration failed
[09:20] <Descention> antares79: "ok"
[09:20] <robbbb> Imrahil, MSSQL i'm afriad
[09:20] <ladydoor> Mouldy: hmmmm. that's very weird. perhaps install an older version (on the right side of the main page)?
