[03:01] <Shujah> hiya Dewente3
[03:01] <dr_Willis> jdsbluedevl,  you may want to summarize the problem a bit..  and have some patience.
[03:02] <tech0007> Bob_Sagot: use pastebin.ubuntu.com to post ur '/etc/fstab'
[03:02] <greg_universe> I just de-xp'd my computer :-D
[03:02] <jdsbluedevl> ok

[03:02] <conrad2k> can someone help a newbie with an ubuntu install question on an Acer Travelmate C100?  The video only display max 800X600 resolution, but I know the screen is 1024x768.  How can I change the resolution if it doesn't show up on the System/Preferences/Screen Resolution menu?
[03:03] <Dewente3> Shujah, what is the different between redhat server and ubuntu ?
[03:03] <jdsbluedevl> problem, from link I supplied, is that I can't see my scrollbars on apps that are run through the user account, but can be seen through the superuser
[03:03] <jdsbluedevl> link, again, is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5361387

[03:03] <jdsbluedevl> btw, I'd like to thank UbuntuForums.net for responding (NOT!!!!) to my thread

[03:03] <Dewente3> Shujah: is only the form of download the packets ?
[03:03] <Bob_Sagot> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/26568/
[03:04] <Shujah> Dewente3, Redhat is a Linux Flavor so is Ubuntu. They differ mostly in how packages are installed /downloaded and amount of support
[03:04] <sheep> jdsbluedevl: can you see them in any applications?
[03:04] <SirBob1701> so i'm running hardy and I have apache2 installed and mod_ruby.  However its not parsing .rb files at all is there something else I have to do (direction i found said no)
[03:04] <locke_> can someone help me get my fx5500 working in ubuntu 8.04? it was working great in 7.10 but when i upgraded i lost video, and couldn't log on until i plugged it into my onboard card
[03:04] <jdsbluedevl> yes, I can see the scrollbar in X-Chat
[03:04] <jdsbluedevl> I can't see it in GNOME-terminal while in the user account
[03:04] <conrad2k> Gremory, no i'm not sure i have the correct driver, but i am not sure where to get a correct driver and how to install it!  like i said, i'm a newbie-windows refugee
[03:04] <jdsbluedevl> but I can see it as superuser
[03:04] <tech0007> Bob_Sagot: is it sdb1 that you want to mount/umount as user?
[03:05] <gremory> so conrad2k what's your video driver?
[03:05] <tech0007> conrad2k: 'lspci | grep VGA' in the terminal
[03:05] <sheep> jdsbluedevl: for the terminal, the reason why the scrollbar was blank was due to there nothing to scroll up or down to in that screehshot
[03:05] <Dewente3> so do u think that can i take some practices with ubuntu and after that could seek a job as a redhat administrations ?
[03:05] <Bob_Sagot> yes
[03:05] <conrad2k> Gremory:  LOL! not sure how to find that out!
[03:05] <jdsbluedevl> look at the screenshot again
[03:05] <mlLK> tech0007: hey tech; http://paste.ubuntu.com/26569/
[03:05] <gremory> sorry, video card

[03:06] <conrad2k> tech007: let me try that
[03:06] <mlLK> tech0007: cept my xp disc can't see the partition
[03:06] <Shujah> Dewente3, yes you will workon either gnome or kde (windows manager) so it will help
[03:06] <jdsbluedevl> the top one is superuser, the bottom one is the user
[03:06] <sheep> jdsbluedevl: oh
[03:06] <tech0007> Bob_Sagot: open terminal, backup fstab w/ 'sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak', then 'sudo nano /etc/fstab'
[03:06] <sheep> jdsbluedevl: I detect a problem with your personal settings or compiz's configuration

[03:07] <hepee> what is the best way to repair/restore /bin/sh when it has been deleted?
[03:07] <Maslow> My power was cut off the last time my ubuntu was running, now anytime I try booting it, it gives me BusyBox. Im not sure how to fix it though.

[03:08] <xim> the pipes must be clogged
[03:08] <Bob_Sagot> tech0007: What am I editing in the fstab?
[03:08] <jdsbluedevl> sheep: you're right, the problem is in Compiz
[03:08] <powertool08> xim: ever seen the youtube video "the internet is tubes" :D
[03:08] <jdsbluedevl> how do I fix this?
[03:09] <FiReD-uP> hey anyone have a good link on how to connect windows network file share to hardy heron?
[03:09] <Dewente3> Shujah, redhat server is just console as ubuntu server right ?
[03:09] <Shujah> Dewente3, Most Linux applications are available on both Redhat and Ubuntu so you'll learn a good deal
[03:09] <gremory> conrad2k: so? what was your consoles response? (to the command  that tech0007 recomended)
[03:09] <sheep> jdsbluedevl: check system > preferences > advanced desktop effects settings
[03:09] <Shujah> Dewente3, and will be able to take the experience to Redhat
[03:09] <xim> powertool08: googling
[03:09] <sheep> hepee: sudo aptitude reinstall bash

[03:24] <tennispolska> Does anyone know how to open a shell terminal from a source directory?? Could someone please tell me? This is my first day with Linux.
[03:24] <Musli> what do u mean?
[03:25] <gremory> tennispolska: open the shell and then type "cd /"
[03:25] <unop> tennispolska, explain what you are trying to do
[03:25] <rockenrola> plenty of good tutorials out there. for me I believe it is best to have a goal. decide what program you would like to build and hands on  it
[03:25]  * mneptok prefers to fly blind and shoot randomly
[03:25] <tennispolska> i want to open madwifi, i need to install the driver
[03:25] <tennispolska> http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo
[03:25] <tennispolska> thats what i need to do
[03:25] <SkinnYPup> I have a dependencies of GTK+ 2.10.0 or higher GtkGlExt 1.0.0 or higher  OpenGL 1.1 or higher , I found OpenGL in repo but not the other two .
[03:26] <SkinnYPup> For Hardy
[03:26] <mneptok> tennispolska: your card is not supported by the MadWiFi drivers distributed through the package system?
[03:26] <conrad2k> tech007:  done!  what next?
[03:26] <tech0007> conrad2k: ctrl-O then [enter] to save.....ctrl-X to exit
[03:26] <tennispolska> it is, its an atheros 50007
[03:26] <mneptok> tennispolska: Ubuntu should offer to install those drivers for you.
[03:26] <conrad2k> tech007:  its saved
[03:27] <tech0007> conrad2k: logout of X, then ctrl-alt-F1 to console, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[03:27] <j_baker> I'm trying to set up a connection to my school's PPTP VPN.  I installed network-manager-pptp and pptp-linux and the options still don't show up in the network manager.  Any advice?
[03:27] <trashguy> Kinda ot but trying to diagnose if its my machine, anyone have timewarner cable?
[03:27] <bibstha> how do i know which driver Xorg is using for display?
[03:27] <unop> SkinnYPup, install libgtk2.0-dev and libgtkgl2.0-dev
[03:28] <bibstha> i am suspecting its vesa
[03:28] <bibstha> but not sure
[03:28] <Shujah> back :D
[03:28] <enmasse> guys need some help
[03:28] <gremory> j_baker: you need to install the gui pakages to those programs ;)
[03:28] <enmasse> Shujah: hey got emerald
[03:28] <unop> bibstha, you have to look in the /var/log/Xorg*log file
[03:28] <tech0007> bibstha: check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:28] <Shujah> howza enmasse  aka ali
[03:28] <bibstha> oh
[03:28] <enmasse> Shujah: if you dont mind me asking are you of indian descent?
[03:28] <SkinnYPup> unop:thanks!
[03:28] <j_baker> Which packages are those gremory?  I didn't seem to be able to find any.
[03:29] <Shujah> enmasse, somewhere near :|
[03:29] <FLeiXiuS> why is it that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg prompts only for the keyboard and that's it..
[03:29] <gremory> just a second
[03:29] <Blaqlight> lol
[03:29] <enmasse> Shujah: ill take that as a you do mind, oh well anyways hey i got emerald, anyways i fixed my windows thing by reneabling compiz, and so far it seems its more of a hassle, so how do i get rid of it BUT STILL keep my windows decorations?
[03:29] <[Iggy]> bibstha: DISPLAY=:0 glxinfo | grep render
[03:29] <trashguy> Anyone ever have like dns just stop working and network run slow?
[03:30] <unop> FLeiXiuS, xorg is trying to move away from a static configuration and try and configure things automagically when needed -- so a lot of the options have been left out when you try and configure it as there is little need (or that's the idea atleast)
[03:30] <Shujah> enmasse, dude i'm from Pakistan so the lineage would be south east indian I think :D
[03:30] <trashguy> this is insane
[03:30] <enmasse> Shujah: im also from paksitan lol
[03:30] <enmasse> Shujah: pakistan
[03:30] <flush> yo
[03:30] <tennispolska> how do you open a shell??
[03:30] <FLeiXiuS> unop so what's the solution to the awesome configurion wizard when it comes to detecting my devices?
[03:30] <flush> whats a good silent fan for pc's
[03:30] <bibstha> Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM 4.1.3002 x86/MMX/SSE2
[03:30] <enmasse> Shujah: god i hate it when i misspell the name of my own country
[03:30] <Shujah> enmasse, google for beryl project - they have some excellent themes for emerald.
[03:31] <flush> what brand any ideas
[03:31] <unop> tennispolska, open a terminal, that opens a shell for you
[03:31] <enmasse> Shujah: anyways how the heck do i get rid of compiz
[03:31] <Shujah> enmasse, great to catch you here then looks like open source is making headway in pakland :P
[03:31] <rockenrola> trashguy: try another dns server
[03:31] <enmasse> Shujah: lol im in america :D
[03:31] <tech0007> bibstha: ur using intel driver
[03:31] <gremory> j_baker: where are you trying to find VPN options?
[03:31] <tennispolska> unop, how to open a terminal??? im a nube at linux
[03:31] <mlLK> !grub
[03:31] <bibstha> tech0007: NOT VESA?
[03:31] <unop> tennispolska, applications > accessorires > terminal
[03:32] <tennispolska> thanks unop
[03:32] <tennispolska> :)
[03:32] <j_baker> gremory:  System -> Administration -> network
[03:32] <[Iggy]> bibistha, what video card do you have?
[03:32] <tech0007> bibstha: did u see if rendering is 'yes' when u ran glxinfo?
[03:32] <Shujah> enmasse, you can always uninstall compiz if you want to - its better to change it via compiz-fusion-icon
[03:32] <FLeiXiuS> unop any alternatives?
[03:32] <unop> FLeiXiuS, unfortunately, there is no solution -- as i said, that wizard tries to build the xorg.conf file which is no longer used -- and since xorg is trying to move away from it, there is no need to build a config file
[03:32] <judgepg> hi folks, can someone help me out with smb sharing?  I've got folders that I've never shared (and you can't click through them).  Any thoughts?
[03:32] <bibstha> tech0007: yaa
[03:32] <Nichevo> Hi all, could someone please tell me what the equivalent to ctrl-alt-delete is in Ubuntu :)
[03:33] <unop> FLeiXiuS, the only alternative is to edit the xorg.conf by hand - as far as i know
[03:33] <Shujah> atrl+alt+backspace
[03:33] <j_baker> gremory:  Is there a command-line way to do that that that I could try out?
[03:33] <gremory> that's it then :P you showld try usind network manager. there is a option named VPN connections.
[03:33] <judgepg> Nichevo, You can kill the process in the process window
[03:33] <tech0007> bibstha: whats the issue
[03:33] <Nichevo> thanks :)
[03:33] <unop> Nichevo, Shujah, heh, no
[03:33] <FLeiXiuS> unop wonderful..be back in a few then lol
[03:33] <judgepg> Nichevo, You can kill the process in the system monitor*
[03:33] <hepee> ctrl+alt+bkspce restarts cocmputer, system monitor is the equiliv
[03:33] <unop> Shujah, please be careful with the advice you give people
[03:33] <Shujah> unop - it'll logout
[03:33] <hepee> you may have to bind it to a shoutcut
[03:33] <gremory> you have an icon of the network manager in your tray bar
[03:33] <DIL> judgepg: you cant click through them ?
[03:34] <Nichevo> I had a windowed game crash on me
[03:34] <rockenrola> How can I run a script automatically after resuming from hibernation?
[03:34] <unop> Shujah, he might be wanting to open up the task-manager or equivalent
[03:34] <judgepg> DIL, thanks for getting back.  No, they are showing, and I do have shared folders which work through, but I also have zombie folders
[03:34] <bibstha> tech0007: well kubuntu displayed it as vesa, i think its the intel driver thanks :) but im getting very log fps in glxgears so just worried
[03:34] <Nichevo> hard booted since
[03:34] <Nichevo> I couldn't get to anything
[03:34] <judgepg> DIL, Do you know if they're symlinks?
[03:34] <vbcoderx> hmm acn someone help me install ubuntu-desktop on ubuntu server from an ubuntu desktop cd?
[03:34] <DIL> nah
[03:34] <FLeiXiuS> vbcoderx sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:34] <Nichevo> Thanks all :) :)
[03:34] <vbcoderx> i did that
[03:35] <vbcoderx> i set the sources to only the cd rom
[03:35] <vbcoderx> but it can't find it
[03:35] <unop> vbcoderx, you will need the alternative CD for that
[03:35] <FLeiXiuS> did you update first?
[03:35] <vbcoderx> damn >.<
[03:35] <unop> vbcoderx, or use the online repositories
[03:35] <vbcoderx> yes
[03:35] <j_baker> gremory:  Yup, but it has a checkmark for enable networking, view wireless networks and about.  (and it takes forever for that menu to come up)
[03:35] <judgepg> DIL, wonder from where the shortcuts came from if they're not defined in smb.conf
[03:35] <trashguy> rockenrola, my other ocmputers work fine booted it up
[03:35] <vbcoderx> i did sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:35] <vbcoderx> then edit
[03:35] <vbcoderx> ed
[03:35] <vbcoderx> then sudo apt-get update
[03:35] <vbcoderx> then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop..
[03:36] <unop> vbcoderx, you can't use the normal desktop CD as a repository -- well you can, but it won't provide all you need
[03:36] <vbcoderx> i guess i'll just download teh alt cd
[03:36] <Blaqlight> vbcoderx, I would think ad the cd's tour sources, then sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[03:36] <gremory> j_baker:  are you cliking there with left mouse button or right mouse button?
[03:36] <Shujah> yeah he might wanna go to task manager sorry
[03:36] <vbcoderx> tour sources?
[03:36] <unop> vbcoderx, if you are going to download the alternate CD just for this, you might as well enable the repositories and install from them
[03:36] <vbcoderx> lol.. i have alraedy renabled them
[03:36] <nike> whats up
[03:36] <j_baker> RIght.  When I left click nothing happens
[03:36] <ubunubi> bash is ignoring my ~/.bash_aliases regardless of what I do (log out in), even if I put them directly in ~/.bashrc and source it!
[03:37] <keith-> okay does the wubi installer happen to install the b43 firmware if it detects it while it's downloading?
[03:37] <nike> wiw
[03:37] <nike> ow
[03:37] <nike> ll
[03:37] <nike> l
[03:37] <nike> l
[03:37] <FloodBot3> nike: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:37] <nike> ??
[03:37] <unop> nike, stop that
[03:37] <gremory> iare you shure?
[03:37] <nike> speak
[03:37] <unop> vbcoderx,  what does this return?  apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop
[03:37] <bogey-> !bash | ununubi
[03:38] <vbcoderx> well shit.. i already started from repositores lemme open a new ssh window
[03:38] <trashguy> whats the command to restart network
[03:38] <ubunubi> bogey-: none of that addresses my issue
[03:38] <garrett__> anyone know if it's possible to use rhythmbox to play mp3s without importing them?  like.. just file -> opendir or something?
[03:38] <j_baker> Yup.  Nothing happens.
[03:38] <icogens> So, I killed pulse-audio just a minute ago, only to see a sudden and drastic spike in memory and cpu usage from pidgin, which i killed as it's memory use shot up past 300 MiB. Has anyone else witnessed this behavior?
[03:38] <unop> ubunubi, ~/.bash_aliases is a non-standard file .. it has to be sourced from within ~/.bashrc if you want to use it
[03:38] <garrett__> i don't want to have to import everything
[03:38] <[Iggy]> keith-, I don't believe the installer downloads anything other than a set "image" of the Ubuntu installation disk
[03:38] <gremory> that is wierd...
[03:38] <ubunubi> unop: i have it sourced already
[03:38] <ubunubi> unop: it's still simply ignoring it
[03:38] <unop> ubunubi, sourced from where tho?
[03:38] <robertj_> anyone here have an IBM T61, I was thinking about buying one and wanted to know if it behaved itself fairly well with ubutu
[03:39] <ubunubi> unop: ~/.bashrc
[03:39] <robertj_> also pondering an X61 :)
[03:39] <tech0007> !hcl | robertj_
[03:39] <ubunubi> unop: there's where the bash man page suggests
[03:39] <gremory> j_baker:  aren't you on kubuntu?
[03:39] <j_baker> Nope.  Ubuntu running gnome.
[03:39] <gremory> ok
[03:40] <nobo> hi friends,
[03:40] <vbcoderx> unop: it returns: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.102 Version table: 1.102 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
[03:40] <unop> ubunubi, yes, it might be that your ~/.bashrc has some errors in it and stops executing when it encounters the errors and does not complete it's job successfully
[03:40] <nike> hey
[03:40] <Shujah> trashguy, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[03:40] <Shujah> hiya nobo
[03:40] <nike> whats a good windows immulater?
[03:40] <nobo> can anyone tell me any dvd player on linux can play at speed 60X
[03:40] <vbcoderx> niek what u mean
[03:40] <nobo> just like winddvd
[03:40] <nike> emulate
[03:41] <ubunubi> unop: bash launches fine without any errors. in fact, it's sources the alias file fine, because if i purposely put a typo in the alias file, every terminal i launch complains. but if i have just a properly formatted alias in there, it does _not_ take effect
[03:41] <vbcoderx> like to run windows programs?
[03:41] <joaquin> holaaaaaaaaa
[03:41] <nobo> no
[03:41] <emilioeduardob> hi! i just unplugged and plugged a pen drive but it doesn't get mounted automatically and it doesn't show on the mount applet
[03:41] <nike> yea
[03:41] <manguy> how can i chmod everything in a directory?
[03:41] <jsquared> manguy: chmod [perm] *
[03:41] <unop> ubunubi, what happens when you source bash_aliases directly
[03:41] <mpn> i have a dell XPS 410, it came with an internal TEAC 12-in-1 media reader...
[03:41] <Shujah> manguy, chmod -R
[03:41] <td123> emilioeduardob: try plugging it into another port
[03:41] <jsquared> Shujah: that does it recursively
[03:42] <mpn> ...and when I plug in a card the light comes on but the card isn't mounted
[03:42] <manguy> thanks!
[03:42] <joaquin> alguna latinaaa???
[03:42] <Blaqlight> nike, WINE
[03:42] <enmasse> Shujah: what is compiz fusion icon?
[03:42] <ubunubi> unop:: then the alias runs fine
[03:42] <unop> !es | joaquin
[03:42] <hepee> thanks for the help... hopefully i won't be back for a while
[03:42] <joaquin> ok sorry
[03:42] <Shujah> enmasse, it's an app which will let you change from metacity to compiz and viceversa on a single click
[03:42] <nobo> can anyone tell me any dvd player on linux can play at speed 60X like windvd?
[03:42] <gremory> olá
[03:43] <unop> ubunubi, strange .. make a backup of your ~/.bashrc, create a new one and have one line sourcing .bash_aliases -- see what happens then
[03:43] <enmasse> Shujah: what is this metacity i keep hearing of
[03:43] <emilioeduardob> is there a way to detect the pen drive without restarting ubuntu?
[03:43] <gremory> !pt
[03:43] <jdsbluedevl> [Iggy]: I did what you said, and it didn't work
[03:43] <gremory> !it
[03:43] <jdsbluedevl> also, I rechecked Metacity, and it appears running gnome-system-monitor still doesn't have scrollbars
[03:43] <unop> !abusethebot > gremory
[03:43] <Shujah> enmasse, default window manager of gnome
[03:43] <tech0007> emilioeduardob: run 'lsusb' to check if its detected
[03:44] <ubunubi> unop:: for sourcing directly from ~/.bashrc i just uncommented the #if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then#    . ~/.bash_aliases  #fi   (3 lines)...is that broken sourcing syntax (even tho it was in the default .bashrc)
[03:44] <enmasse> Shujah: so how do i go about uninstalling compiz but still being able to run my windows decorations?
[03:44] <mpn> did anyone get an internal TEAC media reader to mount cards in ubuntu
[03:44] <emilioeduardob> tech0007: it's not detected, but it was 2 minutes ago.. if i restart it apears again
[03:44] <Shujah> enmasse, you can't do that with compiz specific effects
[03:45] <rockenrola> ubunubi: how about sourcing .bashrc ?
[03:45] <mpn> internal TEAC media reader, cards aren't mounting but the light comes on when a card is plugged in
[03:45] <enmasse> Shujah: so how can i make it so that i am not running any effects that slow down my pc but still have my windows decorations and make these settings saved so i dont have to keep redoing them on every boot
[03:45] <unop> ubunubi, it looks normal .. although i prefer writing it this way.    test -f ~/.bash_aliases && source ~/.bash_aliases
[03:45] <tech0007> emilioeduardob: 'sudo rmmod ehci_hcd' then re-insert the drive
[03:45] <Shujah> enmasse, what specific decorations do you want
[03:45] <jsquared> is there a way to tell Ubuntu not to show my local desktop when I'm remoting into it?
[03:46] <enmasse> Shujah: just the one where i can see minimize/max/x
[03:46] <ubunubi> rockenrola: if i source ~/.bashrc directly from terminal, the aliases do not take effect
[03:46] <enmasse> Shujah: to me compiz seems more like a novelty, i can do without it
[03:46] <rockenrola> ubunubi: than it must be the test that fails. try an echo in it
[03:46] <unop> ubunubi, tried this?    source /home/$USER/.bashrc
[03:46] <enmasse> Shujah: but its hard for me to say that the cube is NOT fun :D
[03:46] <mpn> my tv tuner doesn't work either, internal PCIe ATI that dell put in
[03:46] <Shujah> enmasse, I diddnt get you - mini/max/x are default so you'll have em without compiz
[03:46] <jdsbluedevl> so I ask everyone here again: how in the holy h*!! do I get scrollbars into my user windows in GNOME?  Issue at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=788755
[03:47] <miked595>  /msg NickServ identify miked595 inc595ubus
[03:47] <emilioeduardob> tech0007: same problem, after that i did modprobe on that module and nothing happends
[03:47] <ubunubi> unop: can that just be sitting on it's own line? everything else in there is encased between   if.... fi 's ?
[03:47] <mpn> xawtv gets no channels
[03:47] <enmasse> Shujah: thats what i thought but when i went into terminal and typed compiz everything just went away...
[03:47] <Shujah> jdsbluedevl, in edit> profile > edit have you disabled scrol bars?
[03:47] <td123> jdsbluedevl: if its a bug without a fix, you can't... and don't yell please
[03:47] <unop> ubunubi, no, comment out those three lines and put this on a line of its own
[03:47] <Shujah> enmasse, thats because you have not selected an emerald theme
[03:47] <unop> ubunubi, this is just a different way of writing the same 3 lines
[03:48] <ubunubi> unop: if i do that, and launch a terminal, my terminal breaks. never get a command line
[03:48] <jdsbluedevl> Shujah: no
[03:48] <enmasse> Shujah: so how do i go about doing that now that i have emerald?
[03:48] <tech0007> emilioeduardob: unload ehci_hcd
[03:48] <Shujah> enmasse, dude have you installed fusion icon yet?
[03:48] <ubunubi> unop: nvm, changing your txt to .bash_aliases instead of .bashrc fixed it
[03:48] <unop> ubunubi, puzzling .. not sure why .. just make that.   source ~/.bash_aliases then
[03:48] <jdsbluedevl> td123, I was yelling because no one was listening to me, either in here or at Ubuntuforums.org
[03:48] <Shujah> enmasse, right click and select emerald manager
[03:48] <enmasse> Shujah: well i went into synaptic and could not find compiz-fusion-icon
[03:49] <unohu> enmasse: enmasse do u need anything from compiz? or plain metacity will do?
[03:49] <jdsbluedevl> just look at that thread and see how many of those posts were mine
[03:49] <enmasse> Shujah: i only found compiz-fusion-bcop
[03:49] <unop> ubunubi, i never said .bashrc :)
[03:49] <enmasse> Shujah: well i will try metacity and see how different it is but as of now compiz is just for aesthetics and i can do without it :)
[03:49] <emilioeduardob> tech0007: i unloaded it but nothing happends
[03:49] <ubunubi> unop: yes you did. i copy&pasted it::  ubunubi, tried this?    source /home/$USER/.bashrc
[03:49] <unop> ubunubi, if you put .bashrc there, there is an endless loop going on, .bashrc keeps sourcing itself endlessly
[03:49] <td123> jdsbluedevl: if people knew the answer, I'm sure they would help you, remember, these are volunteers not paid customer service you can yell at
[03:50] <unop> ubunubi, that was meant to have gone on the command line .. sorry, i should have said
[03:50] <mpn> my hardware isn't working in ubuntu
[03:50] <enmasse> Shujah: i went into terminal and typed emerald and it says i already have a decoration manager...
[03:50] <ubunubi> unop: thanks for the help
[03:50] <unop> ubunubi, I was talking about this one.    test -f ~/.bash_aliases && source ~/.bash_aliases
[03:50] <unop> that should have gone in .bashrc
[03:50] <unohu> enmasse: you have to type emerald --replace
[03:50] <enmasse> Shujah: ahh i see what i did wrong I DONT have just FUSION-icon
[03:50] <enmasse> Shujah: i thought i need compiz-fusion-icon
[03:51] <tech0007> emilioeduardob: its not in lsusb? restart ubuntu then check
[03:51] <miked595> sup channel
[03:51] <unohu> enmasse: if u dont need compiz then y do u need compiz-icon?
[03:51] <unop> ubunubi, you're thanking me? does that mean you've got this resolved?
[03:51] <hexoroid> can anybody tell me in which file you change tftp port ? is it in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
[03:51] <enmasse> Shujah: i thought you said i needed it to go to metacity
[03:51] <ubunubi> unop:: yes
[03:51] <conrad2k> tech007:  it didn't work.  I can only boot to shell now, the GUI is gone.  How do I restore the old display?
[03:51] <Shujah> enmasse, dude it is called compiz-fusion-icon its in the ubuntu repo wonder why you cant get it, try searching via add/remove programs
[03:51] <unop> ubunubi, cool, what was it you did?
[03:52] <enmasse> Shujah: okay, i was searching thru sinaptic but ill try add/remove
[03:52] <unohu> enmasse: if you dont need compiz ...then go to appearence preferences and disable all effects ..that will do....
[03:52] <ubunubi> unop:: the line you meant for me to type in terminal was what i put in .bashrc, which was making it an endless loop. just edited it to .bash_aliases
[03:52] <emilioeduardob> tech0007: i tried restarting and then it shows, but if i unmount it and extract it , and plug it again it doens't show till the next rebiit
[03:52] <emilioeduardob> reboot
[03:52] <enmasse> unohu: i did that but then it makes my windows x/min/max go away
[03:53] <unop> ubunubi, ahh ok .. wonder why the default test was failing then .. something wrong with bash or your .bash_aliases file
[03:53] <tech0007> conrad2k: post /var/log/Xorg.0.log to paste.ubuntu.com then 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf' to restore backup
[03:53] <unohu> enmasse: after disabling logout once and log in.......
[03:53] <ubunubi> unop:: it was just unediting the default test i c&p'd to you. never changed my alias file the whole time. it's default test was failing somehow
[03:54] <enmasse> unohu: how do i log out / login?
[03:54] <miked595> anyone know where I could find a script like pastebin?
[03:54] <mpn> my card reader dosent work
[03:54] <conrad2k> tech007: not sure i understand about posting to paste.ubunto.com
[03:54] <miked595> mpn pay it more
[03:54] <unohu> enmasse: red button in the corner......
[03:54] <ubunubi> unop:: you could probably reproduce it on your system. i just unedited the alias test that's already there. you could test yourself
[03:54] <enmasse> Shujah: i typed emerald --replace and turned off ALL compiz effects
[03:55] <tech0007> emilioeduardob: run 'tail -f /var/log/messages' to check what keeps ur pendrive from remounting
[03:55] <unop> ubunubi, maybe that was meant to have been written with 'source' rather than '.'  . only exists for backwards compat. with the old bourne shell i.e.   if [[ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]]; then source ~/.bash_aliases; fi
[03:55] <mpn> i put in a card, the light comes on, but the card isnt mounted
[03:55] <enmasse> unohu: hey dude what is emerald theme manager?
[03:55] <SubZeroLux> my install is having problems taking my passwords now- i sometimes have to enter them two times before anything happens- sometimes it accepts but does not perform the command i requested, any ideas?
[03:55] <tech0007> !paste | conrad2k:
[03:55] <miked595> what kind of card mpn
[03:55] <mpn> internal teac reader that came with the dell
[03:55] <ishmandoo> i have a problem with my ubuntu computer, could someone help me?
[03:55] <unop> ubunubi, my ~/.bashrc is my very own, i've been using it for years across all sorts of systems
[03:55] <ubunubi> unop: ah ic
[03:55] <harriseldon> mpn have you checked the system logs?
[03:55] <mpn> it's one of those 12-in-1 TEAC readers that dell bundles in their machines
[03:56] <unop> ubunubi, it hardly resemebles the default ubuntu one now
[03:56] <mpn> no where is that
[03:56] <emilioeduardob> tech0007:  it says "device not accepting address 9, error -32" after new "high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9"
[03:56] <ishmandoo> anyone?
[03:56] <Flannel> !ask | ishmandoo
[03:56] <harriseldon> system-administration-system logs
[03:56] <unohu> enmasse: it will be there in menu...emerald something.....
[03:56] <harriseldon> mpn system-administration-system logs
[03:56] <ubunubi> unop:: today i've battled a broken grub, a corrupted root partition file system, and about 2-3 other strange bugs//oddities such as this one, all in a days work :P
[03:57] <unop> ubunubi, ubuntu's keeping you dancing :) atleast you aren't twiddling your thumbs ;)
[03:57] <SubZeroLux> can i repeat my question?
[03:57] <Coded1> i have an old pinnacle pci tv (cable analog), it gets recognized in xubuntu in hardy from viewing lsmod | grep bt i get a bunch of drivers (about 10 or so) like v4l2_common, videodev, bttv, etc what node in /dev should i point a media player to, to watch tv?
[03:57] <mpn> okay i plugged it in wit the system log up and it sayded the following:
[03:57] <ishmandoo> my ubuntu computer has been working great but the optical drives dont seem to work, every time I try to read a cd or dvd, it says that it cant mount it. any ideas?
[03:57] <miked595> mpn don't flood the channel
[03:57] <ubunubi> unop:: no kidding. i woke up at 5am and started working on it. and looked down to see why i was hungry already..and realized it was 10:40am already -- definately wasn't bored
[03:58] <hexoroid> can anybody tell me in which file you change tftp port ? is it in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
[03:58] <tech0007> emilioeduardob: sorry, this is beyond my level of knowledge now
[03:58] <mpn> mounded /dev/sdf1 on behalf od uid 1000
[03:58] <nickrud> SubZeroLux generally every 5 - 10 minutes is good
[03:58] <unop> subzero2000, what password is this?
[03:58] <emilioeduardob> tech0007: thanks for the help =)
[03:58] <SubZeroLux> my primary login and my su/root
[03:58] <unop> hexoroid, yes, and you need to restart xinetd
[03:58] <SubZeroLux> i did a bios update last night and things got a little bit- odd :/
[03:59] <unop> SubZeroLux, you've enabled the root account?
[03:59] <ishmandoo> my ubuntu computer has been working great but the optical drives dont seem to work, every time I try to read a cd or dvd, it says that it cant mount it. any ideas?
[03:59] <harriseldon> mpn that is a good sign. Do you have multiple users logged at the same time (fast user switching)?
[03:59] <mpn> theres only one user, me
[03:59] <SubZeroLux> unop: yes, i've been running this install for months now
[03:59] <miked595> mpn, type dmesg and paste the output here http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[03:59] <ubunubi> ishmandoo: edit your default fstab, and set fs to auto instead of whatever it may be for the cdrom
[03:59] <ferric> hiya - how do i set the default resolution that ubuntu starts X up in? /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[03:59] <harriseldon> mpn it looks like it is mounted. Do you see an icon on the desktop?
[03:59] <ishmandoo> how do i do that?
[03:59] <mpn> it says it mounted buts it not in gnome?
[04:00] <ubunubi> ferric: do you have gnome-desktop installed? //graphical X desktop environment?
[04:00] <mpn> theres no icon
[04:00] <miked595> oh type mount
[04:00] <ishmandoo> gnome
[04:00] <unop> SubZeroLux, hmm, could be one of the pam modules at fault -- i would check these files /var/log/{auth.log,syslog}
[04:00] <ubunubi> ishmandoo: pastebin me your fstab
[04:00] <unop> SubZeroLux, might also find information in the other files in the same directory
[04:01] <SubZeroLux> unop: makes sense, i edited part of that earlier trying to install fprint for my biometrics- which brings me to my next question
[04:01] <ishmandoo> i'm sorry, i have no idea how to do that
[04:01] <ishmandoo> what is my fstab?
[04:01] <ubunubi> ishmandoo:: do you know how to open a terminal?
[04:01] <ishmandoo> yeah
[04:01] <mpn> heres what it say after i plug in the card http://paste.ubuntu.com/26574/
[04:02] <SubZeroLux> unop: aah, you're absolutely right, my pam.d/common-auth had a duplicate line in it that must have caused a conflict
[04:02] <ubunubi> ishmandoo: open a terminal, type   gedit /etc/fstab   ...then copy that text and paste at  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com and paste the link//URL to that in this chat
[04:02] <harriseldon> mpn the mount point is usually /media/[volume id]. You can check in nautilus (file manager) for the drive. If it is there, then we can look into why it is not showing up.
[04:02] <miked595> mpn, what des it say when you type "mount"
[04:02] <SubZeroLux> ok, second part- i am on a Dell XPS m1330, i'd like to enable the biometric fingerprint scanner, i heard fprint was a good package, anyone have much experience with that?
[04:02] <unop> SubZeroLux, now that doesn't make sense, pam ought to ignore the repeat
[04:03] <ishmandoo> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5c8582da
[04:03] <cupe^> When I install Ubuntu 8.04, is there a way to manually choose packages to install and not? For example, can I completely skip Gnome?
[04:03] <mpn> /dev/sdf1 on /media/MP3S type vfat (...)
[04:03] <SubZeroLux> unop: it was slightly different, one said requisite the other was 'required' for pam_unix.so nullok_secure (two entries)
[04:03] <ubunubi> ishmandoo: check your PM
[04:03] <mpn> MP#S is the volume name
[04:03] <conrad2k> tech007:  okay, i am back where i started with 800x600 resolution, except the screen colors are inverse!
[04:03] <mpn> *mp3s
[04:03] <miked595> there's ur mount point
[04:03] <unop> SubZeroLux, ahh now, that makes sense
[04:04] <SubZeroLux> it was part of the fprint config setup, but the packages would not install
[04:04] <miked595> what happens when u visit /media in gnome?
[04:04] <mpn> ah wait i finded it
[04:04] <tech0007> conrad2k: post to paste.ubuntu.com your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[04:04] <unop> SubZeroLux, not sure you'd find much info on biometrics in here -- you might like to try #debian or some authoritative source
[04:04] <mpn> it was /media/MP3S
[04:04] <ferric> ubunubi: yeah, I think gnome or something starts up, but i'm connected to my TV and the rez is too high, so i can't see anything
[04:04] <SubZeroLux> unop: sounds good, thanks
[04:04] <miked595> hehe
[04:04] <mpn> thanks very much
[04:04] <cupe^> When I install Ubuntu 8.04, is there a way to manually choose packages to install and not? For example, can I completely skip Gnome?
[04:04] <ferric> ubunubi: but I can drop to a shell and edit xorg.conf
[04:04] <unop> SubZeroLux, yw
[04:04] <tech0007> cupe^:  you dont want a gui?
[04:05] <miked595> mpn, gj
[04:05] <cupe^> tech0007: I want openbox. Not a full DE.
[04:05] <khin> hi i have a question about a file i downloaded off bit torrent, it takes the form of all these little tiny files that end in .ts.xvid.r#, where # is the file number. is there some way to read this mess in ubuntu and re-assemble the actual video file?
[04:05] <Chriz21> can i get the ubuntu mobile notebook download link?????
[04:05] <mpn> yeah for some reason gnome isn't adding an icon like it does with the other drives
[04:05] <conrad2k> tech007: I'll try to do that
[04:05] <harriseldon> cupe^ is the system so low on hard drive resources that you cannot just change the session in gdm?
[04:05] <mpn> but its mounting
[04:05] <cupe^> tech0007: But the question was more of.. can I i.e choose not to install gnome, pidgin, etc etc?
[04:06] <cupe^> harriseldon: Nah, I just dont want gnome or any DE at all.
[04:06] <tech0007> cupe^: nope, they're installed by default
[04:06] <Shujah> back
[04:06] <miked595> that a problem with the hotplug?
[04:06] <cupe^> tech0007: That sucks. :/
[04:06] <tech0007> cupe^: you can remove them and check this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox
[04:06] <cupe^> Guess I'll have to use server install, then?
[04:06] <harriseldon> cupe^ you will be hard pressed to find an app that does not require gnome libraries
[04:06] <khin> does anyone know what .ts.xvid.r<number> is
[04:06] <rockenrola> cupe^:  the alternate install doesn't do that?
[04:06] <miked595> cupe^, get ubuntu server for now DE
[04:06] <cupe^> harriseldon: Well.. I don't need ALL of the gnome libs, do I ?
[04:06] <Shooooo> What version of VMWare should I use (server/workstation?) if I want to use Ubuntu as my main OS and run Windows XP Pro in the VM? I didn't see VMWare in the repositories
[04:07] <miked595> no^
[04:07] <ubunubi> Shooooo: you have to download vmware server source and compile
[04:07] <ubunubi> Shooooo: it's no longer in the repos
[04:07] <harriseldon> cupe^ they are only loaded as needed. If you have the hard drive space, it does not hurt to be there
[04:07] <cupe^> miked595: Just what I thought. Thanks.
[04:07] <Shooooo> ubunubi: server source, thanks i'll D/L now
[04:07] <ubunubi> Shooooo: unless you only need vmware player...
[04:07] <cupe^> harriseldon: Mkay.
[04:07] <Flannel> cupe^: Alternate CD can install a GUI-less box too.  If you've got it already
[04:07] <Shooooo> ubunubi: Haven't created the Virtual Machine yet, so I think I need server. :)
[04:07] <cupe^> The thing is that I want a system that is as clean as possible :>
[04:07] <harriseldon> cupe^ you can always try debian. Then you get no gui by default.
[04:07] <ubunubi> Shooooo: yup
[04:08] <ubunubi> Shooooo: make sure to run the compile as root to avoid a bunch of headaches
[04:08] <Shujah> like ubuntu kubuntu xubuntu there oughta be a ubuntu for gaming gbuntu
[04:08] <unohu> cupe^: give arch linux a try....
[04:08] <Shooooo> This is so exciting, with a Virtual Machine I might not *EVER* have to boot into Windows again! xD (besides for a few games)
[04:08] <cupe^> harriseldon: Aiight, thanks.
[04:08] <cupe^> unohu: I did.
[04:08] <miked595> cupe^, yeah I was just thinkin debian net install
[04:08] <cupe^> And faile.d
[04:08] <cupe^> As everybody else I know.
[04:08] <cupe^> :>
[04:08] <FloodBot3> cupe^: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:08] <cupe^> FloodBot3: what?
[04:08] <unohu> cupe^: didnt like it?
[04:08] <cupe^> ah, lol
[04:09] <cupe^> unohu: Didn't get it running.. ;P
[04:09] <cupe^> I don't have that experience yet.
[04:09] <cupe^> Though I am pretty sure I will like it, when I get to that level. :>
[04:09] <miked595> anyone know where I can get pastebin source code? trying to run a private one inside an intranet.
[04:10] <unohu> cupe^: okay...anyway give it a try later if u want a lean system.......:-)
[04:10] <miked595> unohu, he can try gentoo for a lean machine.. hehe
[04:10] <bazhang> !ot
[04:11] <unohu> miked595: if ha has the patience :-)
[04:11] <cupe^> unohu: Will do. :) Thought I'd advance from ubuntu > debian > arch, maybe. :>
[04:11] <bazhang> let's take gentoo arch etc chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:11] <khin> or does anyone know what .ts.xvid is or how to read it
[04:11] <ubunubi> miked595: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.tar.gz
[04:12] <IdleOne> !divx | khin
[04:12] <ice_cream> hmm.. so i finally decided to grab ff3 w/o updating first on 7.10 ...i ended up w/ some kind of Gran Paradiso 3.0a8 with the %#*@ earth icon =/
[04:12] <bazhang> khin, the r<number> is part of a rar archice
[04:12] <Shooooo> ubunubi: Should I get the .RPM or the .TAR.GZ?
[04:12] <tech0007> khin: did i download that from torrent?
[04:12] <Flannel> ice_cream: 7.10 backports has an alpha version of firefox 3.
[04:12]  * ice_cream nods
[04:12] <ubunubi> Shooooo: tar.gz ....rpm is bad
[04:12] <ice_cream> but why the earth icon!?!
[04:12] <miked595> ubunubi, w00t! thanx
[04:13] <corollax> shooo: I concur. Go with tar.gz
[04:13] <ice_cream> it makes me want to uninstall everything just looking at it
[04:13] <ubunubi> miked595: enjoy
[04:13] <oiaohm> So alien or ubuntu not working too well.
[04:13] <oiaohm> on ubuntu
[04:13] <ice_cream> i know, i'm demanding
[04:14] <harriseldon> mpn I just found this regarding drives on desktop http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-443791.html
[04:14] <IdleOne> ubunubi, rpm is not bad. it is just not used by Ubuntu
[04:14] <ice_cream> now i have to go through and manually replace it w/ my pretty red firebird icon =/
[04:14] <khin> bazhang so do I need to un-rar it or something before I can do anything else
[04:14] <phish> How can i change the look of gnome-panel? I've seen screenshots where it's black (not color-filled) but it looked nice. How can i do that?
[04:14] <ubunubi> IdleOne: for his purpose it would be detrimental to use
[04:14] <Shooooo> ice_cream: You can change your theme if you like, it will probably also change that earth icon to something else. :) Any icon packs you can put in the /home/.icons/ folder.
[04:14] <cupe^> ice_cream: Why don't just update Fx? ;P
[04:14] <bazhang> khin, just click the first one it should auto-join
[04:14] <miked595> unohu, I just thought about ubuntu MID.. that would be pretty lean right?
[04:14] <ice_cream> i should probably update the whole system then
[04:15] <Shooooo> phish: Download a theme from places like gnome-look.org and put the theme into the /home/.themes/ (theme or themes) folder... then open "Appearance" and drag the theme folder into the Appearance window
[04:15] <Atomic> hey guys, i have a problem that isn't really related to Ubuntu, but no other chans seem to know and maybe someone here does anyhow... anyway,  a forum that i go to is acting a little weird. i can't just type in the url or it'll gimme a 404 but if I go to google and tpye in the url and click the first link (just a normal link to the site) it'll open and the site seems fine. This isn't a problem on my side, as the same thing is happening to
[04:15] <phish> Shooooo: Alright, thanks :)
[04:15] <bazhang> Atomic, this is using ubuntu?
[04:16] <ubunubi> is it possible to mount an iso in r/w mode and add files, and the iso parameters auto be adjusted on dismount to accommodate the added files?
[04:16] <bazhang> ubunubi, /msg ubottu uck
[04:16] <ice_cream> Shooooo, i am a minimalist, and i dont run gnome, so 'changing theme' will not work =P
[04:16] <Shooooo> Atomic: Maybe the web site admins made it so you can only access that particular page if you are coming from a certain page, to prevent direct connections to that page.
[04:16] <khin> bazhang i guess i need to install unrar
[04:16] <miked595> ubunubi, not that i know of
[04:17] <tech0007> !info gisomount | ubunubi
[04:17] <ice_cream> cupe^, so the updated  fx (weird abbreviation tbh) has reg. icon?
[04:17] <cupe^> ice_cream: yep
[04:17] <Atomic> bazhang: well it happens when i use my ubuntu partition, or XP
[04:17] <cupe^> ice_cream: Fx is the CORRECT abbrevation! ;)
[04:17] <Atomic> Shooooo: ah good point, yes, i will check
[04:17] <ubunubi> tech0007: will that allow r/w ISO and not corrupt it (by auto adjusting) ?
[04:17] <cupe^> FF = Final Fantasy.
[04:17] <ice_cream> i'd rather think of final fantasy
[04:17] <ice_cream> (than some tv station)
[04:18] <tech0007> ubunubi: original iso will be ro, it will make backup if start changing it
[04:18] <cupe^> lol, okay :P
[04:18] <ice_cream> if linux could talk back to me, i'd probably receive so much anger
[04:18] <ice_cream> "no!  don't compile that!   ow.... OW!"
[04:19] <Shooooo> !ot
[04:19] <bazhang> ice_cream, please take chat elsewhere
[04:19]  * ice_cream nods, sadly
[04:20] <Shujah> howza enmasse
[04:20] <enmasse> guys what's the difference between gtk1/gtk2/gnome
[04:20] <enmasse> Shujah: im well you?
[04:20] <ice_cream> !ot
[04:20] <Shujah> livin n chillin :P
[04:20] <nickrud> enmasse gtk1 is obsolescent, gtk2 is current
[04:20] <harriseldon> enmasse gtk draws the widgets for gnome
[04:20] <nickrud> enmasse and gnome is built on gtk2
[04:20] <enmasse> Shujah: okay, but i was looking through the package manager and saw i didnt even have gnome installed, so should i install it?
[04:21] <Shujah> enmasse,  :S that cant be dude
[04:21] <harriseldon> enmasse are you using kubuntu or xubuntu or other derivative?
[04:21] <enmasse> guys i was looking thru my package manager and saw i didnt even have gnome core installed... so to use a gnome theme I NEED gnome core right?  Im using hardy heron
[04:21] <nickrud> enmasse no! That's a package from debian, and isn't really intended for ubuntu (used to break stuff in the old days, not sure about now)
[04:22] <nickrud> enmasse if you have ubuntu-desktop installed, you can use any theme that's properly made
[04:22] <enmasse> kk
[04:22] <enmasse> lol
[04:22] <nickrud> enmasse note the "correctly made" :)  And, a nice tool for use with themes is gnome-color-chooser
[04:23] <enmasse> hmm okay ill look at it :D
[04:23] <cupe^> There's still no GTK theme CREATOR available? :>
[04:23] <wuxia> is there a way to simultaneosly run two sessions of firefox so that if one of them crashes, the other still stayhs alive? (flash plugin crashes often on 64bit; and it kills all mozilla wondows I have open; )
[04:25] <enmasse> guys umicons or buuf icons?!
[04:26] <harriseldon> wuxia use the -no-remote command line option (check firefox --help from command line for all options)
[04:26] <koolranch> Hi everyone, I'm trying to uninstall my bluetooth drivers, but they don't shop up with hciconfig.  According to lsmod, bluetooth is being used by rf comm and l2cap.  Will I screw up my computer by rmmod ing those two processes?
[04:26] <ignignokt00> hi.  i'm trying to get data from an external ext3 disk to my mac disk.  i'm running an 8.04 live cd at the moment, and while i can read both drives fine, nautilus gives me "read only" error messages when i try to copy or change anything, but 'mount' tells me that my mac disk is mounted rw.  it's obviously something permissions related, so how do i get around it?
[04:26] <enmasse> omg BuufIcons or Umicons lol?
[04:27] <tech0007> ignignokt00: 'gksu' or 'gksudo'
[04:27] <ignignokt00> tried. no luck.
[04:27] <ignignokt00> let me see what the message actually says
[04:28] <nickrud> enmasse what do you mean? png or svg mostly, some xpm. Usually come in icon packs ;)
[04:28] <enmasse> nickrud: lol what i meant was which do you guys like more
[04:28] <ignignokt00> The destination is read-only.
[04:28] <koolranch> Can anyone help me with that bluetooth issue?
[04:28] <ignignokt00> trying to drag from root nautilus window to root nautilus window
[04:28] <enmasse> nickrud: and if i download any icons i can use them in gnome right?  do they auto change or do i have to change manually each icon for each thing?
[04:28] <Shujah> enmasse, I'm oldfashioned still using Tangerine :P
[04:29] <nickrud> enmasse you would download an icon pack, drag it onto the window opened with right click desktop, change background, then select custom on the theme tab section. Then you can change the icons enmasse ;)
[04:29] <Shujah> enmasse, download anyicontheme drag to appearance window- it'll install
[04:29] <enmasse> Shujah: lol dude if i get icons from deviant art i can just use them right?  I dont have to change each icon manually for everything right?
[04:30] <bobertdos> ignignokt00: I'll admit, that's peculiar if you're trying to go from root to root...........I suppose you could try chmodding the directories/files you're trying to copy.......
[04:30] <Shujah> enmasse, yes you'll change all the icons in theme
[04:30] <harriseldon> enmasse as long as it is part of valid gnome icon theme, all the icons will change automatically
[04:30] <ignignokt00> more specifically?  and if i chmod my os x user folder, it won't mess up anything in os x?
[04:30] <ignignokt00> i know this is an ubuntu channel, lol
[04:31] <Shujah> enmasse, gnome-llok and gnome-arts are customization pools check em out
[04:31] <nickrud> enmasse changing just one icon in all places it might be used (menus, panel, desktop, etc) is not trivial, sadly
[04:31] <ignignokt00> feel a little out of place, but an os x channel would do me worse
[04:31] <p47ch> does anybody here can help with a problem with a pendrive in xubutu ?
[04:31] <ubunubi> !anyone | p47
[04:31] <bobertdos> ignignokt00: Well, I for one, will forgive you :D
[04:32] <ignignokt00> preciate it :)
[04:32] <bobertdos> ignignokt00: Besides, Mac's are Unix based and Linux is Unix based.......meh, it all fits in my opinion.
[04:32] <ignignokt00> :)
[04:32] <ice_cream> what is this 'dragging' pfft
[04:32] <Vock> hey, i just have a question about multiple partitions/HDDs in ubuntu: I was using an FTP client, and for some reason it couldn't see outside of the linux partition, to a different HDD or partition, anyone know why?
[04:32] <ice_cream> use real commands, ignignokt00  =P
[04:32] <ignignokt00> haha, i can try it from the command line if you like
[04:33] <ignignokt00> will that error message be more useful?
[04:33] <SkinnYPup> Does VmWareServer work on Hardy ?
[04:33] <enmasse> kk
[04:33] <ubunubi> vock:: are all your partitions the same file FS? ..what was the ftp client? was it running in wine?
[04:33] <ice_cream> you could also try umounting, changing fmask and dmask, mounting again
[04:33] <ice_cream> (er... in fstab)
[04:33] <nickrud> ignignokt00 if you really don't want to ask on osx , ask on a bsd channel (isn't osx bsd based more than linux based?) Anyway, this is not an osx help channel
[04:33] <bobertdos> ignignokt00: Anyway, I can't promise chmodding your directories will be completely harmless to the Mac OS, but in theory, you should always be able to change them back.
[04:33] <pun> how to use qq in ubuntu 8.04
[04:34] <harriseldon> vock can you cd out of the current directory at all? sometimes ftp will prevent that for security reasons. It may be a setting on the ftp server.
[04:34] <ferric> ok, so, lotsa threads on the forums about setting up yoru system with TVOut... can anyone point me to the definitive one?
[04:34] <Vock> ubunubi:The ftp client was gFTP, not running under wine
[04:34] <Vock> I can cd out a bit, past the home directory
[04:34] <ignignokt00> thanks bobert i'll give it a go
[04:34] <Vock> but won't let me switch to a different partition
[04:34] <bobertdos> ignignokt00: If you want to try it, I'd suggest adding full permissions, (777).
[04:35] <SkinnYPup> I have a few vmware machines on my 6.06 I'd like to continue using. Anyone using Vmwareserver on their Hardy?
[04:35] <ubunubi> vock:: and you were trying to connect to another FTP.   were you trying to send files from another partition/hdd to the ftp server?
[04:35] <Vock> and all my partions are NTFs
[04:35] <bobertdos> ignignokt00:: or equivalently a+rwx........whichever :p
[04:35] <harriseldon> vock do you mean it will let you go from /home/user to /home/user/Documents or can you goto /home/user2/?
[04:35] <ignignokt00> sudo: cd: command not found
[04:35] <ubunubi> ignignokt00: why do you need to chmod your OSX files??
[04:36] <Vock> I wanted to send from a different partition than the home partition to a different server
[04:36] <reverx> Can someone check how well the wireless network card on this laptop will work in Ubuntu Hardy Heron - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp;jsessionid=UKRMY4LCN2DERKC4D3PFAHQ?skuId=8776158&productCategoryId=abcat0502003&type=product&tab=2&id=1204332255304#productdetail
[04:36] <ice_cream> hah
[04:36] <ubunubi> ignignokt00: you can't sudo cd
[04:36] <nickrud> ignignokt00 you can't use sudo with cd.
[04:36] <ignignokt00> well, apparently
[04:36] <ice_cream> (i was laughing to myself about my own problem, sorry)
[04:36] <Vock> I don't have a /home/user2/
[04:36] <ignignokt00> it won't even let me cd to my user directory
[04:36] <Vock> but i can get out of the my documents directory
[04:36] <ignignokt00> which is odd, considering i did in a root nautilus
[04:36]  * ice_cream had just updated to fx <IP_ADDRESS> =D
[04:37] <harriseldon> vock are you saying that on your client computer you cannot change to a directory outside of the current partition? not on the server
[04:37] <nickrud> ignignokt00 then it sounds like you need to use sudo -i so you are root, and can fix whatever you broke
[04:37] <ignignokt00> ubunubi: i need to chmod my osx files because i'm trying to copy data from an external ext3 disk to my osx user folder..
[04:37] <Vock> sorry, yes, on the client side
[04:37] <ubunubi> ignignokt00: if you sudo cp  the files. they'll go over just fine
[04:37] <ignignokt00> i haven't broken anything
[04:37] <ubunubi> ignignokt00: without chmodding anything
[04:37] <bobertdos> reverx: Umm, have you tried using ndisgtk (with ndiswrapper)?
[04:37] <ignignokt00> i promise you, they won't
[04:38] <ignignokt00> or rather, they didn't
[04:38] <ubunubi> ignignokt00: is your OSX partition mounted read only?
[04:38] <reverx> bobertdos: I havn't bought the laptop yet - my bad
[04:38] <ignignokt00> that's the way it's behaving, but no, not according to what 'mount' tells me
[04:38] <koolranch> Hey everyone, kill -stop won't stop rf comm, because it's not a process
[04:38] <koolranch> what is rf comm, and how do I stop it?
[04:39] <ubunubi> ignignokt00: pastebin   cat /etc/mtab
[04:39] <reverx> bobertdos: Curious what kind of connection I'm going to get after going through the how-to guides
[04:39] <c01100011> couldn't figure out why my usb HD would light up but not make any entry in dmesg. gave up blaming software feared broken hardware. Untill i discovered that i had the power supply for the drive and my router switched.
[04:39] <harriseldon> reverx it looks like the wireless card is BCM4310. Broadcom has some issues on Linux with native drivers. I have no experience with these cards. Maybe someone else in the channel has experience with these cards
[04:39] <TsuruyaSan> Okay, I give.
[04:39] <TsuruyaSan> How do you connect to the Internet on Ubuntu
[04:39] <bobertdos> reverx: In that case, I would recommend looking at this while you're planning: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[04:39] <ubunubi> TsuruyaSan: you're on the internet now? :P
[04:40] <c01100011> amazing part is the little dlink router was funcitoning just find on the extra 6 volts. not fried at all, Cheap d link routers are champs
[04:40] <TsuruyaSan> Yeah, on Windoze.
[04:40] <ice_cream> in ubuntu, internet connects to you!
[04:40] <reverx> harriseldon: even with the work arounds
[04:40] <vasocreta> so, after much searching, I have decided to try my luck here. Anyone have suggestions on getting networking and sound to come back up after suspend and hibernate in Hardy Heron?
[04:40] <nickrud> TsuruyaSan plug in a cable to your router, you should get a connection automatically
[04:40] <TsuruyaSan> More importantly, how do you view the sites the "connecting to the internet" help file points to?
[04:40] <ignignokt00> ubunubi: http://pastebin.ca/1068816
[04:40] <TsuruyaSan> ice_cream: That's in Soviet Russia
[04:40] <bobertdos> reverx: Well, as long as you follow the guides and end up buying a supported card, you should ultimately end up with a nice, solid G connection :)
[04:40] <PorkSoda> Any one heard of a bug with the gnome-themes-extras package? Specifically with the DarkLooks theme?
[04:40] <ice_cream> oh, i thought ubuntu was international
[04:40] <harriseldon> TsuruyaSan are you asking how to get your network card working or how to launch firefox?
[04:41] <TsuruyaSan> nickrud: It's working fine on Windoze, but there's no connection on Ubuntu
[04:41] <reverx> bobertdos: Thats good to know
[04:41] <PorkSoda> Any one have a sec to confirm a bug?
[04:41] <TsuruyaSan> I know how to launch firefox
[04:41] <nickrud> TsuruyaSan is this wireless or cabled?
[04:41] <TsuruyaSan> Now how do I connect to the Internets
[04:41] <TsuruyaSan> Cabled
[04:41] <TsuruyaSan> On a comtrend CT-301 ADSL Modem
[04:41] <reverx> bobertdos: I did notice though that for the BCM4310 there were 3 different versions on the link you gave me
[04:41] <enmasse> Shujah: haha got the icon them working :D
[04:41] <zty> hello
[04:41] <harriseldon> TsuruyaSan is this a wired or wireless connection? Are you plugged directly into the ADSL modem?
[04:42] <TsuruyaSan> Wired
[04:42] <TsuruyaSan> Yes.
[04:42] <ubunubi> ignignokt00: this may not be the sole problem. but having escaped characters in the mountpoint name can't be helping...i'd copy line #12 into my /etc/fstab and remove the "\040HD" from the mountpoint
[04:42] <ice_cream> ignignokt00, strange that you have a backslash after Macintosh, eh?
[04:42] <harriseldon> ppoe ! TsuruyaSan
[04:42] <ignignokt00> hrmmm
[04:42] <ignignokt00> interesting
[04:42]  * vasocreta sighs in disappointment and contemplates his choice in buying a Linux-based laptop
[04:42] <ignignokt00> i suppose i'll be back in a few, thanks for the idea
[04:42] <diego> quit
[04:42] <Rhorse> is there an add-on graphical audio equalizer for gnome/alsa?
[04:42] <nickrud> TsuruyaSan ah,  pppoeconf is the hard way, the best way (if the modem supports it) is having the modem negociate the connection, and have it give a dhcp address to ubuntu
[04:42] <PorkSoda> !darklooks
[04:43] <reverx> harriseldon: thank you
[04:43] <bobertdos> reverx: where?
[04:43] <ubunubi> ignignokt00: then umount /dev/sda2 then mount /dev/sda2 and see if sudo 'ing a copy command works any better
[04:43] <PorkSoda> !gnome-themes-extras
[04:43] <Shooooo> PorkSoda: What bug with DarkLooks?
[04:43] <harriseldon> reverx: yw
[04:43] <TsuruyaSan> ............
[04:43] <TsuruyaSan> WUT
[04:43] <reverx> bobertdos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom
[04:43]  * TsuruyaSan explodes.
[04:43] <nickrud> TsuruyaSan look up your modem on the net, and see if it has a web browser configuration screen
[04:43] <TsuruyaSan> If I punch my moniter enough, will it connect automatically?
[04:43] <PorkSoda> Shooooo, On Heron, if you install gnome-themes-extras,, the darklooks theme will not "stick"
[04:43] <reverx> The drivers differ - I don't know what that means.
[04:43] <TsuruyaSan> ...
[04:44] <vasocreta> @TsuruyaSan: NO! I have tried it.
[04:44] <PorkSoda> After you set it, it will go back to a light theme when you open apps.
[04:44] <bullgard4> Is there a channel that deals with the Python programming language?
[04:44] <TsuruyaSan> Why does better everything always mean me having to search for stuff that gets me even more confused?  Thank you.
[04:45] <TsuruyaSan> Oh, my bad.
[04:45] <reverx> lolz
[04:45] <vasocreta> has anyone dealt with their networking and audio going down after waking or resuming their machine from suspend or hibernate?
[04:45] <bullgard4> TsuruyaSan: !language
[04:45] <TsuruyaSan> ....
[04:45] <aa235315> can anyone help me out?
[04:45] <Shooooo> PorkSoda: I have never used that package or theme, but I've never had problems with any Metacity themes from gnome-look.org :P (metacity is if you're using compiz-fusion)
[04:45] <TsuruyaSan> Slow reaction is slow.
[04:45] <ubunubi> vasocreta: most people that suspend/hibernate, most likely :PP
[04:45] <harriseldon> a235315 please ask your question and if someone can help, they will respond
[04:45] <ignignokt00> ubunubi: no such luck.  same error when trying to sudo cp
[04:45] <Shooooo> aa235315: What's your question?
[04:45] <ubunubi> ignignokt00: paste me the exact error?
[04:45] <ice_cream> TsuruyaSan,  in soviet russia, language %#&@$ you  =P
[04:46] <PorkSoda> yea, Shooooo I've never had problems with that theme pre Heron
[04:46] <DEdwards> audio has been giving me probs but i avoid hibernate, as my dell tends to sleep in
[04:46] <nickrud> TsuruyaSan http://www.dslreports.com/faq/canbrbd/10.1_Aliant#14406 , about the web interface.
[04:46] <bobertdos> reverx: Yeah, that's because that table is designed to show you different scenarios with the same card. Example, Does it work with ndiswrapper? No Does it work completely plug and play? No. Does it work when you install fwcutter, Yes.
[04:46] <ignignokt00> cp: cannot create regular file `/media/Macintosh/Users/chris/Movies/12 Monkeys.avi': Read-only file system
[04:46] <aa235315> alrighty when i am at the OS screen i choose ubuntu after a 15 secs or so of a black screen i get "Windows was unable to boot, hal.dll is missing"
[04:46] <TsuruyaSan> PRAISE THE GODS
[04:46]  * TsuruyaSan glomps nickrud
[04:46] <aa235315> if i choose to boot windows, it boots up fine
[04:46] <PorkSoda> Any one on heron wanna confirm a bug, maybe? :)
[04:47] <JarrettGreen> I have soooooo many permissions problems with proftp
[04:47] <JarrettGreen> proftpd
[04:47] <ubunubi> ignignokt00: give me a few to peruse some documentation
[04:47] <aa235315> i installed ubuntu 8.04 via live cd within windows
[04:47] <nickrud> TsuruyaSan not particularly good, you have to hack the modem.
[04:47] <ignignokt00> thanky thanky
[04:47] <JarrettGreen> I'm pretty much a noob
[04:47] <bobertdos> reverx: My suggestion is to try to find a card that requires the least amount of work possible ;)
[04:47] <JarrettGreen> and kind of drunk :)
[04:47] <vasocreta> has anyone here found a successful workaround to getting suspend and hibernate to work right on Hardy Heron? (I am doing my best here folks).
[04:47] <JarrettGreen> can anyone help?
[04:47] <reverx> bobertdos: awesome - okay now that makes a little more sense - I can take it from here unless you can tell me - in a sentance - what ndiswrapper does
[04:47] <harriseldon> aa235315 you used the wubin installer then?
[04:47] <JarrettGreen> everything has a 002 octal
[04:47] <TsuruyaSan> Woah
[04:47] <aa235315> yes
[04:47] <harriseldon> aa235315 sorry wubi
[04:48]  * TsuruyaSan puts on his robe and wizard hat and pulls out a pencil
[04:48] <aa235315> it seemed like the easies way to do it, since im a total noob when it comes to Linux
[04:48] <reverx> bobertdos: sorry fwcutter
[04:48] <nickrud> TsuruyaSan you might want to install pppoeconf, then run   sudo pppoeconf   in a terminal. Once you do that, you can do   sudo pon  sudo poff to start stop internet. But I'd hack the modem eventually, it's a much better way to configure it
[04:48] <nickrud> TsuruyaSan and hack is only software hack by the way
[04:48] <JarrettGreen> I've st up an ftp user
[04:48] <TsuruyaSan> Oh good
[04:48] <JarrettGreen> can I just do a chown var/www and be all good?
[04:48] <JarrettGreen> Didn't seem to work
[04:49] <TsuruyaSan> I understand hardware even less than I do software.
[04:49] <PorkSoda> sigh, Any one know any other heron dark themes?
[04:49] <bobertdos> reverx: I don't know everything about it myself. It sounds though like it's a configuration utility for Broadcom cards that you can get out of the repos.
[04:49] <koolranch> Could someone tell me how to download patches in Ubuntu?
[04:49] <reverx> bobertdos: repos?
[04:50] <foxhop> How do I force a JAR to install with sunJAVA instead of the openjdk?
[04:50] <cuervo> a manual for vi?
[04:50] <JarrettGreen> Nobody huh
[04:50] <JarrettGreen> coooooooool,.
[04:50] <bobertdos> reverx: Synaptic, in other words
[04:50] <Shooooo> !patience
[04:50] <JarrettGreen> Why do linux folks have to be such dicks
[04:50] <foxhop> How do I force a JAR to install with sunJAVA instead of the openjdk?
[04:50] <JarrettGreen> You wonder why regular joes won't use the OS
[04:50] <nickrud> JarrettGreen wait a bit, no one here seems to be hot on ftp at the moment
[04:50]  * cuervo starts to pray
[04:50] <vasocreta> is it safe to say that every user here just does not use suspend or hibernate at all because it simply does not work right?
[04:50] <nickrud> !attitude | JarrettGreen
[04:51] <Shooooo> vasocreta: I stay away from suspend/hibernate. :P
[04:51] <ice_cream> JarrettGreen, learn to google
[04:51] <bobertdos> koolranch: Do you just mean updates for the OS?
[04:51] <JarrettGreen> learn to bite me
[04:51] <Shooooo> PorkSoda: Lots of good Metacity dark themes on gnome-look.org
[04:51] <vasocreta> @Shoooo: I am sensing that. hehe.
[04:51] <nickrud> cuervo try running   vimtutor , it'll teach the basics, and you can install vim-doc to get them all
[04:51] <reverx> bobertdos: Thanks a million, that was great support on your part - its comforting to know I'll be able to get a good connection off of that computer. All I gotta do is a little leg work which is perfectly reasonable.
[04:51] <cuervo> well I use "damn small linux"
[04:51] <TsuruyaSan> Wow
[04:51] <cuervo> the help file doesn't exist (just god know why)
[04:51] <ignignokt00> ubunubi: reading something about ubuntu/mac-formatted ipods leads me to believe that booting to os x and turning of journaling for my mac drive might solve it
[04:51] <TsuruyaSan> I did not understand a word of that page
[04:51] <nickrud> JarrettGreen only warning get is this one
[04:52] <koolranch> bobertdos:  No, I'm trying to download programs for power conservation with linux.  Here's the link, if you wouldn't mind helping me
[04:52] <conrad2k> tech007:  sorry, i was having problems!! I think i pasted it to paste.ubuntu.com\
[04:52] <JarrettGreen> k
[04:52] <JarrettGreen> sorry
[04:52] <vasocreta> not using suspend or hibernate sort of kills the idea of using a  laptop effectively IMHO.
[04:52] <koolranch> I'm trying to download the second item on that page, which I believe is a patch
[04:52] <JarrettGreen> again, kinda drunk
[04:52] <ubunubi> ignignokt00: from what i read, that's an outdated recommendation. i saw a few forum posts that said it didn't work for them. but you can give it a try
[04:52] <JarrettGreen> ghat should be worth at least TWO warnings
[04:52] <koolranch> I'm new to Ubuntu though, and don't really know what I'm talking about
[04:52] <cuervo> oh mein gott
[04:52] <foxhop> How do I force a JAR to install with sunJAVA instead of the openjdk?
[04:52] <ignignokt00> any other i deas, before i do?
[04:52] <Shooooo> vasocreta: Maybe some others use suspend/hibernate, but personally I don't. :) Even in Windows XP it was kinda screwey.
[04:52] <nickrud> cuervo what do you mean, not there?
[04:52] <TsuruyaSan> Hm...
[04:52] <bobertdos> reverx: happy to be of service :)
[04:52] <cuervo> I dunno what I mean
[04:52] <nickrud> JarrettGreen no, you warned us. Thanks :)
[04:52] <Shooooo> JarrettGreen: What was your question? Maybe someone will be online soon that can answer.
[04:53] <reverx> bobertdos: :D
[04:53] <cuervo> do you know where I could find an extend vi manual ?
[04:53] <cuervo> the vi editor =P
[04:53] <TsuruyaSan> Well, that told me nothing about how to connect to anything.
[04:53] <JarrettGreen> I have a bunch of permissions problems in proftpd
[04:53] <Starnestommy> cuervo: do you have vim-full installed?
[04:53] <TsuruyaSan> Even if I don't like Windows XP, I guess I'm stuck with it.
[04:53] <TsuruyaSan> Ew, Vim.
[04:53] <nickrud> cuervo try vim.org , but if you search synaptic for vim-doc , install it. Then the docs will be at /usr/share/doc/vim-doc
[04:53] <TsuruyaSan> I did NOT like Vim.
[04:53] <vasocreta> Shooo: I have never had problems in windows. BUT windows in itself is a problem. I can't believe that I got sucked into choosing my operating system (Linux) based on principle. I must be retarded.
[04:53] <bobertdos> koolranch: I don't think I ever got a link >.<
[04:53] <cuervo> Gosh!!
[04:53] <JarrettGreen> everything has 002
[04:53] <Shooooo> JarrettGreen: There's a channel called #proftpd :P Maybe they are more responsive.
[04:53] <cuervo> the help file doesn't exist there
[04:53] <koolranch> oh, sorry bobertdos

[04:53] <koolranch> there it is
[04:54] <ice_cream> cuervo,  try vimtutor from the command line
[04:54] <nickrud> TsuruyaSan I barely did :) Me, I'd go buy a cheeep router with dsl connection :)
[04:54] <aa235315> anyone know how to fix the hal.dll error? I am really eager to get Ubuntu up and running
[04:54] <cuervo> okay
[04:54]  * cuervo will open his arms in front a church waiting for a answer
[04:54] <koolranch> It's the second download I'm stuck on, bobertdoss
[04:54] <ubunubi> ignignokt00: i see a late 2007 post that says the ubuntu hfs+ driver can't write to journaled hfs+ yet. so give temporarily disabling journaling a try
[04:54] <koolranch> tickless timer
[04:54] <ignignokt00> cool
[04:54] <TsuruyaSan> Also, maybe you guys shouldn't have it so in the ubuntu help file it links to a webpage when the topic is about connecting to the internet :P
[04:54] <ignignokt00> thanks a bunch ubu
[04:54] <Shooooo> aa235315: Not many people here use "Wubi" so it's hard to get support for it. I personally suggest making an EXT3 partition for Ubuntu and installing it via the Live CD...
[04:55] <TsuruyaSan> I used Wubi
[04:55] <JarrettGreen> I'm a noob so it's probably just a general 'I don't know how users and permissions work' problem, not proftpd
[04:55] <JarrettGreen> so IU'm sticking put in the ubuntu
[04:55] <TsuruyaSan> I couldn't be bothered to figure out the Bios stuffs.
[04:55] <bluekb> I need to configure the menus to show application names - not just descriptions.
[04:55] <aa235315> alright, well ill try a method i just found on a forum so if that doesnt work i guess ill have to do it the hard way:)
[04:55] <nickrud> TsuruyaSan true that. But we don't do the docs.
[04:55] <foxhop> How do I install a JAR with sun java runtime instead of OpenJDK when they are both installed.
[04:55] <Shooooo> bluekb: Doesn't the Main Menu only show application names? :/
[04:55] <mwhit74> hey guys havn't been on this partition in a while but i keep hearing about how good it is i figured i would give it another shot, so far so good
[04:55] <harriseldon> TsuruyaSan is connecting via a router not an option? I use dsl fine through a router and router handles the username password details.
[04:55] <enmasse> guys wanna help me out?
[04:55] <aa235315> Have a good night everyone, thanks for the help
[04:56] <PorkSoda> thanks Shooooo
[04:56] <Iggie> TsuruyaSan, it's not that difficult, actually, just a boot menu
[04:56] <TsuruyaSan> I see nowhere to put the connecting crap I usually do in Windows.
[04:56] <PorkSoda> I miss my darklooks :/
[04:56] <bluekb> and vice versa So for example, instead of seeing just "Firefox" I would see "Web browser - Firefox 3" or something
[04:56] <foxhop> How do I install a JAR with sun java runtime instead of OpenJDK when they are both installed.
[04:56] <nickrud> TsuruyaSan yes, your modem came with software intended for windows
[04:56] <vasocreta> @aa235315: have you tried this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314477/en-us
[04:56] <TsuruyaSan> Noooo Q.Q
[04:56] <enmasse> hey can anyone help me with themes for gnome/emerald
[04:56] <bluekb> Shooooo, oops, I am getting mixed up between different distros.  Sorry.  That makes me wonder, though...
[04:57] <JarrettGreen> soooooooooooo ubuntu is pretty cool
[04:57] <bobertdos> koolranch: Sorry, I don't have much experience with that, plus, I REALLY don't recommend applying direct patches to the kernel if you have never dealt with that kind of programming before.
[04:57] <mwhit74> i have a question for anyone out there who can answer it. i am trying to get a live cd to run on another computer and it doesn't seem to work. i downloaded it, unpacked it and burned it to a cd but it wouldn't boot from the cd on the other computer any help would be awesome
[04:57] <JarrettGreen> thoughts? lol
[04:57] <merula> enmasse, yeah, what's up?
[04:57] <TsuruyaSan> Once OSS gives Windoze the boot I might be able to figure out how to work all this. Of course, the day OSS gives Windoze the boot is the day I see cardboard boxes flying through the air like birds.
[04:57] <enmasse> merula: hey i downloaded this theme http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/gommapiuma+looks+(gummina+mod)?content=69913
[04:57] <koolranch> I see
[04:57] <Shooooo> enmasse: What's your question? I use the Metacity themes, not much of Emerald since Compiz and Fusion merged.
[04:57] <enmasse> i downloaded this theme http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/gommapiuma+looks+(gummina+mod)?content=69913 but it looks nothing like it
[04:57] <koolranch> is that what that is, a direct patch to the kernal, bobertdos
[04:57] <koolranch> ?
[04:57] <koolranch> *kernel
[04:57] <harriseldon> wmhit74 is cd booting in the bios before hard drive booting?
[04:57] <enmasse> for example the _ / max / x are like the way the are in windows...
[04:57] <merula> enmasse, you have to make sure you set up gnome to do it too
[04:58] <enmasse> merula:  how do i do that?
[04:58] <foxhop> How do I install a JAR with sun java runtime instead of OpenJDK when they are both installed.
[04:58] <bobertdos> koolranch: That is what it appears to be from my point of view. I see C headers and source files, so yes, I would say so.
[04:58] <Shooooo> enmasse: Sorry, no idea, I never used gtk 2.0 themes... I use the Metacity ones. :)
[04:58] <mwhit74> harriseldon: yes it is i mean i am running it now on this computer so i got it to work once but its been a long time since then
[04:58] <merula> enmasse, oh wait... I see.  With Emerald, it just sets the windows... you have to run the emerald manager program and then ensure that the package is installed
[04:58] <enmasse> i see shooooo oh well, lol i hate your name, i had to count the o's
[04:58] <Agent_bob> mwhit74 you "unpacked it" ?
[04:58] <enmasse> merula: again how do i do that >.<
[04:59] <mwhit74> harriseldon: yea it came in a .rar file
[04:59] <enmasse> thanks shoopz
[04:59] <koolranch> ok, thanks for the help bobertdos
[04:59] <JarrettGreen> drunk drunk drunk
[04:59] <mwhit74> Agent_bob: yea it came in a .rar file
[04:59] <Shoopz> enmasse: If you're using Compiz-Fusion and have a decent graphics card (with a working hardware driver), check out the Metacity themes. :)
[04:59] <Agent_bob> mwhit74 what kind of live CD ?
[05:00] <mwhit74> Agent_bob: so i guess unzipped it would be a better term
[05:00] <bobertdos> koolranch: May I ask why you are looking to conserve power like that?
[05:00] <merula> meh
[05:00] <JarrettGreen> good lord someone keep me company
[05:00] <mwhit74> Agent_bob: what do you mean? the live cd for ubuntu
[05:00] <enmasse> Shoopz: not using compiz cuz of my card ati 9600xt 128 mb with 512 ram
[05:00] <merula> I went with some black emerald and gnome themes
[05:00] <Shoopz> JarrettGreen: Try #ubuntu-offtopic, lots of chatty abnormal peeps there. :) I'm in there too!
[05:00] <mwhit74> Agent_bob: ... i think the only kind there is
[05:00] <merula> enmasse, any chance you could upgrade the ram? ^_^
[05:00]  * TsuruyaSan leads Jarrett to a chair. "Here, don't hurt yourself :P"
[05:00] <enmasse> merula: lol
[05:00] <TsuruyaSan> Anywhoo, cya.
[05:00] <JarrettGreen> thanks shoopz - we are best friends
[05:00] <enmasse> not really
[05:01] <enmasse> no have cash :(
[05:01] <Agent_bob> mwhit74 i have never see ubuntu live CD's "rar'd"
[05:01] <merula> enmasse, oh that blows.
[05:01] <cvd-pr> i cant even watch flash videos in firefox with out crashing, its there anything i can do in lunx
[05:01] <mwhit74> Agent_bob: well can you point me to the correct website then?
[05:01] <ubunubi> cds-pr: with the correct supported hardware, and proper configuration -- yes, just about anything
[05:01] <harriseldon> mwhit74 when you insert a cd into a computer and boot it up, the bios will search the drives according the boot order for a device that can boot. If the bios is not set to search the cd drive, it will not boot
[05:01] <Agent_bob> !install | mwhit74
[05:02] <ice_cream> cvd-pr, wait for the bug to be fixed =)
[05:02] <Shoopz> cvd-pr: Are you using the Macromedia Flash package from the Add/Remove and Firefox latest version (non-beta)? :P
[05:02] <cvd-pr> Shoopz,  sure like always
[05:02] <mwhit74> harriseldon: i have already checked this, i think it is the cd i am using
[05:02] <JarrettGreen> sooooooooooooo
[05:03] <ice_cream> he's back!
[05:03] <harriseldon> mwhit74 then you may want to burn another cd or check the md5sum of your iso image and verify it against the md5sum listed on the download page
[05:03] <cvd-pr> i notice tha firefox crach if i install the libflash
[05:03] <badbrainz> I accidentally set the gnome-terminal to run a command and close on startup - resulting in not being able to use it. How can I reset this mistake?
[05:03] <JarrettGreen> oh i've been here
[05:03] <Agent_bob> mwhit74 http://ubuntu.com
[05:03] <harriseldon> mwhit74 then you can verify that your iso is not corrupted
[05:03] <JarrettGreen> designing
[05:03] <kcaj> What is a programs to record my desktop all that I do?
[05:03] <merula> Shoopz, by the way, I'm having the same problem running Firefox 3.0 Beta and installing the latest adobe flash v9
[05:03] <kcaj> and then put it on a youstube
[05:03] <JarrettGreen> xubuntu blows
[05:03] <JarrettGreen> I'll say that
[05:03] <cvd-pr> but if i dont install the libflash support i dont have flash audio
[05:03] <JarrettGreen> for sure
[05:03] <ice_cream> hmm why is that? you dont like xfce?
[05:03] <Shoopz> merula: Sadly it seems Flash is quite sluggish in Firefox. :( Depressing.
[05:04] <JarrettGreen> I dunno
[05:04] <merula> Shoopz, no, not sluggish. Impossible to install normally, yes.
[05:04] <JarrettGreen> I was impressed with the GUI but not the functionality of the GUI
[05:04] <JarrettGreen> that probably made no sense
[05:04]  * ice_cream shrugs
[05:04] <badbrainz> xfce + compiz is nice, imo
[05:04] <kcaj> me needs program to record desktop actions, like for a tutorial, and make a youtube
[05:05] <JarrettGreen> I like linux, but iut's going to take more to get my mom to use it
[05:05] <JarrettGreen> make sen se?
[05:05] <kcaj> any suggests?
[05:05] <cvd-pr> I think that libflash is the problem
[05:05] <ice_cream> i just use a server version of ubuntu and manually install something... like fluxbox in this case
[05:05] <JarrettGreen> I can't feel muy face ;)
[05:05] <harriseldon> kcaj look at recordmydesktop (there is a gtk version)
[05:05] <JarrettGreen> Can't feel my face but I can still msiley face :) :) :) :)
[05:05] <merula> I dunno, kcaj && JarrettGreen, something about the simplicity of gnome works.  It's simple to understand, and yet, it has all sorts of powerful features behind it.
[05:05] <cvd-pr> ?
[05:06] <Agent_bob> kcaj i could sujest that you don't teach others until you don't have to ask how to teach them...
[05:06] <JarrettGreen> merula - I need to try out gnome - this was KDE 4
[05:06] <Agent_bob> kcaj but that might defete the purpose.
[05:06] <merula> JarrettGreen, grab the latest ubuntu
[05:06] <JarrettGreen> is there a good GUI for server stuff/
[05:06] <JarrettGreen> ?
[05:06] <ice_cream> gnome was ok until i suddenly started a hatred for bulky stuff
[05:06] <cvd-pr> libflashsupport have a bug?
[05:06] <JarrettGreen> I'm using webmiun
[05:06] <Shoopz> ice_cream: I thought GNOME was minimalist?
[05:07] <merula> ice_cream, how do you keep emoting?
[05:07] <ice_cream> Shoopz, no way
[05:07] <Agent_bob> ice_cream tried fluxbox ?
[05:07] <kcaj> I am only going to teach them that compiz fusion rox them hahaha
[05:07] <enmasse> merula: hey
[05:07] <ice_cream> merula, what?
[05:07] <merula> enmasse, yeah?
[05:07] <kcaj> Ubuntu Satanic Edition + compiz fusion (0.7.6) == omgs rox
[05:07] <Iggie> ice_cream: bulky stuff?
[05:07] <enmasse> merula: okay i found emerland theme manager thing and added the theme there and logged and logged back in and still the same thing...
[05:07] <Shoopz> kcaj: Once I tried compiz-fusion I can't live without it... Super-M (negative), Super-E (Expo)... (Desktop wall).... godly!
[05:07] <merula> ice_cream, you are able to put emotes into chat... I forgot the command.
[05:07] <ice_cream> Agent_bob, that's what i said... i'm using fluxbox =)
[05:07] <enmasse> and its kinda starting to get me ticked off...
[05:07] <ice_cream> merula, i just manually type an = sign and then a letter, like P or D
[05:07] <nickrud> merula that's a really good description of why I use gnome myself. I've watched it change over the years, and sometimes forget just how much it does for me now
[05:07] <merula> enmasse, um... hmph... lemme think... it took a few tries for me to get it right.
[05:08] <ubunubi> kcaj: that theme looks obnoxious, how do you get work done?
[05:08] <hardy> help needed "installation of debian through usb"
[05:08] <p47ch> Shoopz: the same of me
[05:08] <bobertdos> Shoopz: Of the three main graphical desktop environments, Xfce is the minimalist.
[05:08]  * vasocreta hangs his head and thinks about sending his computer back to California and buying a Mac.
[05:08] <Agent_bob> ice_cream sorry. only caught the hatred of bloat.   my bad.
[05:08] <ice_cream> merula, but just because you see an emote doesnt mean that i do, as it's client specific =)
[05:08] <p47ch> Shoopz: I love compiz
[05:08] <harriseldon> hardy what do you mean "through usb?"
[05:08] <kiwis>  im having a problem upgrading, when i type sudo apt-get upgrade i get ... E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[05:08] <Shoopz> Sorry I was going offtopic, if you guys wanna chat about compiz-fusion and themes come hit us up in /join #ubuntu-offtopic :P
[05:08] <merula> ice_cream, gah... sorry.  ::headdesk:: it's been a long day.
[05:08] <ignignokt00> ubunubi: success! disabling journaling does the trick.  thanks for your assistance.
[05:08] <slavik> is there any way to decode dts sound that is comming in through spdif?
[05:09] <vernamon> \disconnect
[05:09] <kiwis> i tired  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and still cant dl anything n no upgrades
[05:09] <kiwis> any help greatly appreciated
[05:09] <Shoopz> kiwis: You mean downloading Ubuntu Udates?
[05:09] <mwhit74> harriseldon: i think that is my problem i didn't get the right files to do the install i am working on that now
[05:09] <nickrud> kiwis try a different mirror
[05:09] <Flannel> kiwis: pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update, and your sources.list
[05:09] <ubunubi> ignignokt00: np. if you run into any issues actually copying it. boot into OXS and open a termin and type "id" to get your user id, then mount the hfs+ in fstab using uidmask=(set to osx id)
[05:09] <hardy> harriseldon,pendrive.........
[05:09] <ignignokt00> great, thanks
[05:10] <bobertdos> ubunubi: Huh, I learned something, I was sure the Macintosh file systems were journaled too........
[05:10] <Agent_bob> kiwis  you did update  didnt you ?
[05:10] <port> is anyone here good with bluetooth? I can connect to my headset with rfcomm, but not hcitool. It auto disconnects.
[05:10] <kiwis> i didnt get any
[05:10] <ubunubi> bobertdos: they are (or can be) but it can be disabled just like ext3
[05:10] <Agent_bob> kiwis not upgrade.  update
[05:10] <kiwis> and i just installed kubuntu
[05:10] <harriseldon> hardy you booted off a debian pendrive and want to install it to your hard drive? Or are you asking how to install debian to a pendrive?
[05:10] <bobertdos> ubunubi: true
[05:10] <kiwis> no
[05:10] <merula> enmasse, okay, you've dragged the folder into the emerald themer and it's there. You've selected it and quit out of the themer, then reloaded X and it's still bad?
[05:10] <p47ch> kiwis: I think it's possible your repositoies are old, wich version of ubuntu you have ? when was the last time you made a update ?
[05:10] <Flannel> kiwis: pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update, and your sources.list
[05:10] <Agent_bob> kiwis   sudo apt-get update     then try the upgrade.
[05:11] <Iggie> !paste | kiwis
[05:11] <JarrettGreen> here's  question - When it comes to linux distros is there a huge difference b eteen fedora and ubuntu in a lamp coimmad line server stetting
[05:11] <nickrud> kiwis see Flannel above
[05:11] <ubunubi> bobertdos: and what we just learned was hard's hfs+ driver doesn't have write support for hfs+ yet if journaling on the hfs+ is enabled at the time
[05:11] <ubunubi> hardy's*
[05:11] <enmasse> hmm
[05:11] <MariachiAC> Wehre do I get gcc libs and gnome-speech-ibmtts? It's not in the repositories for ubuntu.
[05:11] <nickrud> JarrettGreen you're not going to get a "best" discussion here, you might get some interest in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:11] <JarrettGreen> zi'm jsut confused as to what seperate linix distros in general
[05:12] <hardy> ???.........i want to setup a pendrive through which i can install the debian...............sry if this is nt clear
[05:12] <bobertdos> ubunubi: Aha! *mentally notes this :)*
[05:12] <enmasse> merula: what i did was download the theme, right click, change desktop, install the theme THEN drag the theme into emerland themer and quit out the themer
[05:12] <JarrettGreen> ahhhh off topic
[05:12] <Flannel> JarrettGreen: #ubuntu-offtopic is the perfect place for that question
[05:12] <enmasse> let me log out and log in again
[05:12] <JarrettGreen> soooo define 'on topic' for this channel then
[05:12] <Apple_cat_> Beat me to in Flannel
[05:12] <Flannel> JarrettGreen: Help and Support for Ubuntu
[05:12] <nickrud> JarrettGreen support questions for ubuntu
[05:12] <ignignokt00> !topic
[05:12] <ubunubi> ignignokt00: if you copy any system files (non-media//user created). remember to run "repair permissions" from OSX disk utility on reboot to clean up any messes before they cause system issues
[05:12] <JarrettGreen> meh.
[05:13] <ignignokt00> cool, that's good to know
[05:13] <ubunubi> ignignokt00: and mostly. dont forget to reenable journaling when you're done :P
[05:13]  * nickrud would never use redhat over ubuntu/debian, becasue he'd have to learn something new
[05:13] <JarrettGreen> is there any reason to have GUI on ubunutu for server admin stuff if you're a noob? Aside from webmin>
[05:13] <ignignokt00> bah of course
[05:13] <JarrettGreen> ?
[05:13] <merula> nickrud, <salute>
[05:13] <Agent_bob> ubunubi  "repair permissions"   that's a mac command ?
[05:14] <port> is anyone here good with bluetooth? I can connect to my headset with rfcomm, but not hcitool. It auto disconnects. [i've googled it to death] I've wasted the better part of 2 weeks trying to get it to work. In windows it works fine
[05:14] <nickrud> JarrettGreen webmin is depreciated in ubuntu, ebox is the replacement. And a light gui is useful
[05:14] <kiwis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/26587/
[05:14] <Flannel> JarrettGreen: No, there are no server tasks that require a GUI
[05:14] <ubunubi> JarrettGreen: it's helpful for true noobies, i find. even if just because you can turn on firefox and google for help or have an IRC client for assistance
[05:14] <JarrettGreen> ebox huh
[05:14] <JarrettGreen> ?
[05:14] <phish> how do i remove an application ( like pidgin or nautilus ) from automagically starting up?
[05:14] <merula> JarrettGreen, of course -- you need to have the gui since you're not able to do *absolutely* everything efficiently via terminal
[05:14] <JarrettGreen> apt-get ebox?
[05:14] <jbroome> webmin is the devil.
[05:14] <enmasse> merula: so let me get this right, drag theme into themer select it and close themer and everything should change?
[05:14] <Flannel> kiwis: That's not what we asked for.  sudo apt-get update, and then also the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:14] <Gnea> jerrcs: a GUI is never useful on a server. just a waste of resources.
[05:14] <nickrud> !info ebox | JarrettGreen
[05:14] <enmasse> merula: or do i have to also do it by right clicking?
[05:14] <ubunubi> phish: system>preferences>sessions
[05:15] <JarrettGreen> Sweet- you guys are non-jerk linux people
[05:15] <JarrettGreen> ;)
[05:15] <hardy> harriseldon.......u got me ???
[05:15] <nickrud> JarrettGreen you should do a search for ebox in synaptic or with apt-cache, there are many plugins
[05:15] <Agent_bob> ubunubi irssi :)
[05:15] <merula> enmasse, you should only have to right-click once, which you did... so just drag it over, select it, and then quit, then restart X by using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
[05:15] <Iggie> kiwis, can you paste your sources.list?
[05:15] <ubunubi> Agent_bob: of course there are alternatives, but they're not _nearly_ as easy to use or multi task getting help, as a GUI version
[05:15] <ice_cream> JarrettGreen, that's because they arrived later and missed your rant =)
[05:15] <ubunubi> Agent_bob: he could even use lynx to google for help. but that takes ages compared to firefox
[05:15] <phish> ubunubi: any chance you know the command for it? ( using xfce and the menus are wack )
[05:15] <Agent_bob> ubunubi elinks :)
[05:16] <nickrud> JarrettGreen we try to keep the jerkyness down, but they still pass through here
[05:16] <bobertdos> phish: For average apps, they can be removed from the Startup tab in the Sessions Menu under System->Preferences.
[05:16] <ice_cream> nickrud, lol @ word choice
[05:16] <merula> nickrud, <high-five>
[05:16]  * nickrud bows
[05:16] <ice_cream> but would be 'jerkiness' =)
[05:16] <xipietotec> there's a program that is overwriting my resolv.conf every time I bring up or down my wireless network, anyone know what it might be>
[05:16] <xipietotec> ?
[05:16] <ubunubi> phish: xfce probably doesn't have the same session editor that gnome has. can't help ya there. you'll have to look up XFCE documentation
[05:16] <enmasse> merula: okay still no luck....
[05:17] <harriseldon> hardy did you look here? http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/446
[05:17] <ubunubi> xipietotec: maybe network manager itself?
[05:17] <nickrud> ice_cream nah, they don't rate proper spelling. Did it on purpose, xchat does spell checking ;)
[05:17] <JarrettGreen> I will
[05:17] <JarrettGreen> sounds good
[05:17] <JarrettGreen> what is ispconfig
[05:17] <JarrettGreen> ?
[05:17] <JarrettGreen> b/c I folowed a tut that had it awhile back
[05:17] <unohu> enmasse: what eactly are you trying to do?

[05:17] <enmasse> unohu: install this theme http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/gommapiuma+looks+(gummina+mod)?content=69913
[05:17] <nickrud> JarrettGreen ispconfig is probably a different distro. For you,  pppoeconf
[05:17] <mwhit74> ok so i dont know which 'download location' is near me does it really matter when downloading the live cd
[05:18] <khin> hey i noticed this .avi file cannot be fast forwarded or rewound. does anyone know a good way to convert it into something that can be (i can use ffmpeg but the command line is kind of tedious)
[05:18] <JarrettGreen> i'll check out ebox
[05:18] <hardy> i want to setup a pendrive through which i can install the debian
[05:18] <enmasse> but whenever i try to use it the _/|_|/x dont come up right...
[05:18] <Shoopz> mwhit74: Just pick a country that's nearby... It'll help the download speed.
[05:18] <JarrettGreen> I like ubuntu - I just use it at a Ruby on Rails enviroment for our web production
[05:18] <JarrettGreen> any RoR devs here?
[05:18] <ubunubi> hardy: you want to install debian FROM a pendrive to your system. or from a LiveCD *to* the pendrive?
[05:18] <mwhit74> shoopz thanks
[05:18] <Shoopz> mwhit74: Or if you don't want to pick a mirror location you can download via torrent. :)
[05:18] <bobertdos> mwhit74: Only in terms of transfer rate
[05:19] <bobertdos> mwhit74: other than that, no big deal
[05:19] <enmasse> so i take it no one know how to install that theme ...
[05:19] <cvd-pr> mmm, the nspluginwrapper fixed the firefox craches
[05:19] <mwhit74> gracias my friends

[05:19] <enmasse> i hear they have nice themes too
[05:20] <ubunubi> hardy: is there a real reason you need to install from a USB drive instead of a CD?
[05:20] <harriseldon> hardy according to debian docs the usb install is in their manual http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/installmanual
[05:20] <unohu> enmasse: its a gtk theme... so u can install it fomr appearance themes...
[05:20] <harriseldon> hardy you can replace lenny with the name of the version you wish to install (lenny, sid, etc)

[05:26] <JarrettGreen> how do I install ebox
[05:26] <bobertdos> You might want to check your processes list to make sure you don't have any audio related programs dangling in the background.
[05:26] <phish> Is there any way to change the resolution of the boot screen? Right now it's killing my old CRT with this huge resolution on boot.
[05:26] <JarrettGreen> apt-get install ebox
[05:26] <JarrettGreen> ?
[05:26] <Flannel> JarrettGreen: sudo apt-get install ebox
[05:26] <kiwis> flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26589/

[05:27] <bobertdos> TeslaTony: You might want to check your processes list to make sure you don't have any audio related programs dangling in the background.
[05:27] <nickrud> JarrettGreen gksu synaptic , and search (ctl-f) for ebox . There are several plugins you'll want as well
[05:27] <JarrettGreen> nickrud - thanks bud I appreciate the help
[05:27] <JarrettGreen> but I don't know if I have synaptic
[05:27] <JarrettGreen> just apt-
[05:27] <Flannel> kiwis: You don't need to open it with kdesu.  And, you can't use kate in a termnal.  `cat /etc/apt/sources.list` will output it for you though.  Also, the output to `sudo apt-get update`
[05:28] <ice_cream> what kind of vodka was it?

[05:28] <ubunubi> hardy:: best of luck. follow the instructions closely for best results//least frustration
[05:28] <Adam-S> carbuntu, Right click on the desktop switcher and select preferences that should let you enable 4 virtual desktops.  To fix my screenres I had to run nvidia-settings,

[05:29] <SkinnYPup> port -thanks
[05:29] <gaten> im having problems with wine. after running wine for a couple of hours and closing it, the sound for the entire system does not work. also, I can't open open gnome terminal, or firefox. they just hang. the only solution is to reboot the system, even restarting gdm doesn't fix it.

[05:30] <kiwis> Flannel: kk http://paste.ubuntu.com/26590/
[05:30] <JarrettGreen> son of a B flannel
[05:30] <ice_cream> yea i'm already in offtopic so
[05:30] <Flannel> kiwis: You just installed this?
[05:30] <JarrettGreen> please define 'ON-topic'
[05:30] <nickrud> JarrettGreen you're beginning to be a bit disruptive, so please take it over there
[05:30] <kiwis> Flannel: yes today this afternoon
[05:31] <kiwis> Flannel: i have 6.1
[05:31] <Flannel> kiwis: You should install a current version (8.04).  Edgy (6.10, what you have installed) is no longer supported (and hasn't been for a few monts)
[05:31] <JarrettGreen> nickrud - how is typing some words 'disruptive'
[05:31] <kiwis> 6.10
[05:31] <mwhit74> what is the equalivent of publisher on ubuntu
[05:31] <Flannel> kiwis: months.  The reason you can't update is because the repositories have been taken down.
[05:31] <Adam-S> JarrettGreen, on topic? Why that would be found in the topic of this channel! OMG
[05:31] <nickrud> JarrettGreen alcohol talk is not welcome here. Ebox is, so stay on that
[05:31] <Adam-S> sorry :(
[05:31] <kiwis> flannel: oh =/
[05:32] <JarrettGreen> sorry guys
[05:32] <JarrettGreen> I'm a good IRCr
[05:32] <JarrettGreen> just celebrating
[05:32] <nickrud> JarrettGreen think absolute disney G rated, and you'll never go wrong ;)
[05:32] <Flannel> JarrettGreen: Take the celebration to #ubuntu-offtopic, this isn't the place for it.
[05:32] <harriseldon> mwhit74 check out scribus (look for it online)
[05:32] <JarrettGreen> lol
[05:32] <Flannel> JarrettGreen: but you're welcome to do so there.
[05:32] <JarrettGreen> k
[05:32] <JarrettGreen> I'll move
[05:32] <JarrettGreen> thanks flannel
[05:32] <JarrettGreen> sorry man
[05:33] <kiwis> flannel: is it possible to do dl the latest version instead of burnin another disk
[05:33] <JarrettGreen> ice-cream over there>
[05:33] <JarrettGreen> ?
[05:33] <ice_cream> yea
[05:33] <Flannel> kiwis: You'd have to update three times. It'll be easier (and faster, and less bandwidth) to just download the new version and do a fresh install
[05:33] <mwhit74> harriseldon: thanks i think that is what i am looking for
[05:34] <harriseldon> mwhit74 yw
[05:34] <carbuntu> omg, can anyone tell me hw to save and exit out of nano, i just edited xorg.conf
[05:34] <bobertdos> grant_: Would you like me to pick up where Agent_Bob left off?
[05:34] <Flannel> carbuntu: ctrl-O is save (Write Out) and ctrl-X is quiet
[05:34] <Flannel> carbuntu: quit, even.
[05:35] <bobertdos> TeslaTony: Did you get my last message?
[05:35] <carbuntu> so do ctrl O, then ctrl X
[05:35] <Flannel> carbuntu: yep, or just ctrl-X, and it will ask if you want to save changes.
[05:35] <harriseldon> cardbuntu yes it is listed on the bottom of the screen (provided you are actually in nano)
[05:35] <TeslaTony> bobertdos: You asked if I had any sound related programs running that I didn't know about? Yeah...killed PulseAudio, and my screen froze (mouse worked, but nothing else did)
[05:36] <JarrettGreen> I'm over in off-topic flannel
[05:36] <TeslaTony> bobertdos: When I tried logging back in it hung again, so I switched to KDE4 (I love backups)
[05:36] <kiwis> flannel: i keep doin update but get the same error http://paste.ubuntu.com/26591/
[05:36] <JarrettGreen> ask iceMream
[05:36] <carbuntu> yes, nw i did ctrl O am i spsd to enter
[05:36] <JarrettGreen> just so ya know
[05:36] <Flannel> kiwis: Right.  You can't update, because the repositories don't exist anymore.
[05:37] <bobertdos> TeslaTony: I guess I'm not quite sure what to tell you then. I imagine there's a command-line equivalent to changing that setting though. Maybe you could try hunting it down?
[05:37] <kiwis> flannel: kk ill just burn a cd of the latest i guess then
[05:38] <Flannel> kiwis: That's what I'd recommend
[05:39] <TeslaTony> bobertdos: Yeah. Hopefully I can tweak things from KDE4 and get it all fixed. Thanks for the help.
[05:39] <Bidget> hey can anyone tell me why my avant window navigator has stopped working? It was just about 2 or 3 days ago and it's not working anymore, it will show up fine but I can't click on the icons or anything

[05:44] <mcquaid> anyone have issues with using the e100 module?  This onboard nic worked fine in dapper, didn't upgrade the box since dapper, now it's hardy and have network lockups
[05:44] <mcquaid> i've seen various things on the forums but no solutions
[05:44] <mcquaid> some use the deprecated eepro100 but thats even worse
[05:45] <shey> hello
[05:45] <carbuntu> hmmmm.... edited xorg.conf and changed default depth from 24 to 16, but i'm still getting like 640 x 480 screenres, can anyone help
[05:45] <carbuntu> plus, the little spray effect when i click on the firefx icon seems to have disappeared
[05:45] <ubunubi> carbuntu: screen depth is just the amount of colors. has nothing to do with resolution
[05:46] <Adam-S> carbuntu, When I enabled Nvidia binary drivers I had to run nvidia-settings for it to detect my monitor correctly. Ever try it?
[05:46] <carbuntu> Adam, no, but tell me more
[05:47] <Adam-S> lemme try to find the details....  one moment
[05:47] <carbuntu> k, i appreciate
[05:47] <bobertdos> After recovering Ubuntu from an installation of XP, I seem to have lost my splash screen. Does anyone know how to remedy this?
[05:47] <Bidget> I'm trying to hook a blackberry pearl 8100 up to my computer and it's not detecting it, are there any apps or drivers that I can download to make it work? I looked in the repos but couldn't find anything
[05:48] <bobertdos> and by splash screen, I mean the Ubuntu loading screen before login
[05:49] <Adam-S> carbuntu, "sudo nvidia-settings" is what I had to do, I believe I had to install the package also.  that should be... something like "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings"  hopefully somebody will correct me if that's wrong.
[05:49] <Adam-S> I ran it from a gnome-terminal and it opened up a dialog.
[05:49] <Adam-S> but it might be in the preferences menu after you get the package.
[05:50] <Adam-S> ... I mean Administration menu

[05:55] <SkinnYPup> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[05:55] <SkinnYPup> kernel?"
[05:55] <legend2440> jargonjustin: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and make sure it says   # groot=(hd0,0). then kernel updates won't change it
[05:55] <cdoublejj|afk> k
[05:55] <Sinister> i know df shows all my hard drives but is there anything that shows total disk space used and free ?
[05:55] <Starnestommy> cdoublejj|afk: binaries made on one system often don't work on another

[06:00] <c0mp13371331337> Is it just not possible to listen to mp3s on the computer while playing doom3?

But I'd like to be able to frag to some Creedance. :-D
[06:00] <carbuntu> nickrud, will i have to restart x to apply changes
[06:01] <Shak-> kernel_ghost: do you use itunes within virtualbox to sync too? I don't see why I should use amarok/gtkpod anymore if I've got a windows install lying around
