[20:31] <Docteh> macvr: maybe chown macvr:users /home/macvr
[20:31] <^paradox^> im still working on my printer sharing problem
[20:31] <brk3> i remember there definatly is one that someone used to make a moblock gui with before..
[20:31] <Docteh> im not 100% sure :) but just the username will be fine
[20:31] <damaranzig> whenever i open gxine it blanks out gnome...must be something about MIT Xv extensions but what is it? help anyone?
[20:32] <LjL> freedumMan: the main Ubuntu repositories aim for stability, not bleeding-edge
[20:32] <^paradox^> just as a refresher im trying to share the printer an hp psc 1110 over a network with two computers. the computer the printers hooked up to is a windows vista home pc. im trying to share it to this pc running ubuntu 8.04.
[20:32] <profxavier> I just updated a software package (openfire), but its not working properly --- how do I roll back to my previous version?
[20:32] <freedumMan> LjL, besides source compile ...can i install this newer version myself from repo's or not
[20:32] <^paradox^> ive installed samba, samba-common, smbfs. ive configured it and set the vista pc to share files and printers. the printer receives test pages sent to it but doesnt print them. they show up in the job list saying spooling and the printer physically tries to print them, but to no effect.
[20:32] <macvr> docteh> do i have to enter the file names after..."sudo chown -R macvr /home/macvr" or just the command will do?
[20:32] <brk3> found it
[20:32] <brk3> zenity
[20:32] <LjL> freedumMan: yes, from the backports repo, if it's available there (and i think it is).
[20:32] <freedumMan> LjL, im under the assumption this is what backports does
[20:33] <freedumMan> LjL, cool so i'll add the repo carefully
[20:33] <_switchcat_> Does anybody know ACMarina who posts to the Ubuntu forums?  I was interested in following up on something he mentioned he was going to try...
[20:33] <Docteh> the command i want you to do will go through everything
[20:34] <macvr> docteh> oh... ok... so it does everything.... thank u...
[20:34] <^paradox^> ive ran printing troubleshooter and opened the cups error log both of which ive put in this pastebin http://rafb.net/p/MDLSCv88.html
[20:35] <^paradox^> im bacv
[20:35] <^paradox^> back*
[20:35] <kajo> Hey, stupid question, but I'm a novice- I need to edit a hardware profile I have in VMware fusion, but all the options are greyed out; I assume this is because I'm not root? But I can't figure out how to open vmware as root.... any help?
[20:36] <DigitalNinja> how do I install mailparse in Hardy Heron?
[20:36] <Database> kajo: Tried sudo?
[20:36] <kajo> well, the question is, "sudo ___"
[20:36] <kajo> What do I fill the blank in with?
[20:36] <kajo> I can tab up to "sudo vmware/"
[20:36] <kajo> and then a further tab shows this:
[20:36] <kajo> ~$ sudo vmware/
[20:36] <kajo> Professional  Windows       XP
[20:37] <^paradox^> ok so im really in need of hand with this. been 5 days now
[20:37] <SiDi> kajo, i presume it would be "gksudo vmware"
[20:37] <LjL> ^paradox^: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/39484 and http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-353654.html might help
[20:37] <kajo> why gksudo and not sudo?
[20:37] <supertanker> "Building Thin Client system"...what does that mean?
[20:37] <SiDi> but maybe its vmw or vm-ware or something, just type 1/2 letters, and then type Tab and see what the terminal proposes for autocompletion
[20:37] <LjL> !gksudo | kajo
[20:38] <Richnl> #ubuntu
[20:38] <kajo> thank you.
[20:38] <kajo> however, it didn't seem to do anything. :\
[20:38] <freedumMan> LjL, works like a charm thank you !
[20:38] <Richnl> # /#ubuntu
[20:38] <LjL> Richnl: you *are* in #ubuntu
[20:39] <kajo> Hello?
[20:39] <SiDi> kajo, at worse, right click in ur apps menu, and type edit. then go to the menu item that matches VmWare and right click -> properties, and there you can see whats the name of the command to start it
[20:39] <LjL> kajo: what didn't do anything?
[20:39] <Richnl> ljl do you know how to setup a server
[20:39] <SirBlc> hey.. having a weird issue.. my LAMP setup refuse to install any modules to apache2, it claims it don't exist. I'm running 8.04 LTS ubuntu server
[20:39] <Richnl> ?
[20:39] <LjL> Richnl: err, that's a bit generic a request. what sort of server?
[20:39] <kajo> gksudo vmware did nothing
[20:39] <DigitalNinja> How do I install or load mailparse in ubuntu?
[20:39] <SiDi> RichiH, try to go on ubuntu.org and seek a little.
[20:40] <Richnl> DHCP server
[20:40] <Richnl> or a dns server
[20:40] <SiDi> kajo, at worse, right click in ur apps menu, and type edit. then go to the menu item that matches VmWare and right click -> properties, and there you can see whats the name of the command to start it
[20:40] <LjL> kajo: oh. well, i only saw the gksudo-related part of your question. what's the output of "which vmware"?
[20:40] <jarek> hello
[20:41] <kajo> kajo@dasg:~$ sudo vmware/
[20:41] <kajo> Professional  Windows       XP
[20:41] <kajo> @LjL
[20:41] <jarek> it is anymore polish?
[20:41] <LjL> kajo: i said "which vmware", not sudo vmware
[20:41] <LjL> !pl | jarek
[20:42] <kajo> Is "which vmware" a command? I type that in and get nothing. I assume you wanted me to press tab after "vmware"
[20:42] <jarek> są jacyś polacy tu?
[20:42] <kajo> which vmware comes up with nothing.
[20:42] <LjL> no, i want you to type just that. it's a command.
[20:42] <SiDi> !pl | jarek
[20:42] <SiDi> Damn, that makes a fool of me.
[20:42] <LjL> kajo: ok, then "vmware" is not the vmware command name
[20:43] <kajo> I found the command name, and used gksudo just now.
[20:43] <jarek> !pl
[20:43] <SiDi> kajo, http://www.google.com/search?q=run+vmware+in+command+line
[20:43] <kajo> But it didn't solve me problem.
[20:43] <LjL> kajo: you can do as sidi said, or just guess... for VMWare Player, the command used to be "vmplayer", if you're using server, perhaps it's "vmserver"
[20:43] <kajo> Somy*
[20:43] <kajo> my*
[20:43] <jarek> !pl |jarek
[20:43] <kajo> Ok, but I'm running workstation.
[20:43] <kajo> trying to edit the hardware profile of my virtual station.
[20:43] <^paradox^> im afraid i just dont know how to set it up for printer sharing. im trying to setup printer sharing over our network. the printer is connected to my wifes pc which runs windows vista home. this pc the on i wanna print to it from runs ubuntu 8.04
[20:44] <kajo> And even though I ran it as gksudo, I still have all these options grayed out.
[20:44] <kajo> Any help?
[20:44] <SiDi> kajo, there seem to be several guides, the best would be to google for the one that fits your needs. Not much people use VMWare, to tell you the truth.
[20:44] <SirBlc> hey.. having a weird issue.. my LAMP setup refuse to install any modules to apache2, it claims it don't exist. I'm running 8.04 LTS ubuntu server
[20:44] <supertanker> ...Wait a second
[20:44] <supertanker> What is LTSP?
[20:44] <supertanker> Isn't that Long Term Service Provider?
[20:44] <supertanker> What the heck am I installing?!
[20:44] <SiDi> supertanker, what's wrong with LTS ?
[20:44] <LjL> jarek: /join #ubuntu-pl
[20:44] <jarek>  /join #ubuntu-pl
[20:44] <supertanker> Sidi, I thought I was installing a web server, not some weird terminal server
[20:45] <supertanker> Haha
[20:45] <kajo> Thanks, SiDi.
[20:45] <kajo> I'll try.
[20:45] <jarek>  /join #ubuntu-pl
[20:45] <^paradox^> ive already setup the vista pc to share the printer and files etc
[20:45] <kajo> Thanks LjL
[20:45] <coil7237> I'm setting my ip/subnet using exalt, static ip.  But it keeps reverting to dhcp, knocking me offline.  What application, exalt, other, would keep doing this?
[20:46] <macvr> docteh> u there? the login prob[sudo chown] was solved.... thank u....
[20:46] <SiDi> supertanker, a decent server is run without X server for performance reasons. That would be insane, and if you ask why at someone working on hosting companies they'll laugh at you.
[20:46] <SiDi> supertanker, try windows server 2003 if you want a server that overwastes resources.
[20:47] <^paradox^> maybe someone could pm me and we could run through the steps together? Goofee had pmd me a couple days ago, but had to leave in the middle
[20:47] <supertanker> SidSo wait, this is just X + a web server and supporting programs right?
[20:47] <Decco> hiya
[20:47] <supertanker> That's what I want
[20:47] <TuxMaster> hi
[20:47] <leslieviljoen> hi
[20:47] <supertanker> Sorry
[20:47] <supertanker> SoNot X
[20:47] <supertanker> Terminal only
[20:47] <supertanker> Right?
[20:47] <SiDi> If you want a X server i recommand using the non-server version (or find out a guide about how to install an X server)
[20:47] <supertanker> (I don't want X is my point)
[20:47] <Decco> i've installed php5, mysql and apache2.. they are all running and working, but php5 won't talk to sql.. trying to install drupal :&/
[20:47] <leslieviljoen> anyone know of an IRC client that can group people's text into threads?
[20:48] <supertanker> This is just a command line Linux server?
[20:48] <leslieviljoen> this is terrible?
[20:48] <SiDi> Again, supertanker, i would recommand a light X server environment if you really need it.
[20:48] <kajo> I'm having no luck finding a guide, SiDi
[20:48] <supertanker> Sidi, I don't need or want X. I just thought that LTSP was some weird SSH ish thing
[20:48] <supertanker> But if it's just a command line Linux system I'm happy
[20:48] <SiDi> supertanker, that's what its meant to be : performances before anything else. but i think you can find easily on the web how to install an x serv on your server (or just use the home version)
[20:49] <deever> how do i make the automount mechanism mount a usb disk rw for a regular user?
[20:49] <supertanker> Good
[20:49] <SiDi> kajo, maybe more explanations on the VMWare official webby? ;)
[20:49] <subsume> I've placed a script in my cron.daily but it doesn't appear to be working, but I'm not getting root emails about it either. What can be going wrong?
[20:49] <subsume> I've placed a script in my cron.daily but it doesn't appear to be working, but I'm not getting root emails about it either. What can be going wrong?
[20:49] <subsume> Do I need to register it within cron?
[20:49] <supertanker> I'm setting up a server on a 450Mhz PIII, so performance is good :P Thanks Sidi for clearing that up
[20:49] <SiDi> oh okey supertanker, all my apologizes
[20:49] <LjL> supertanker: it's a command line Linux system, with a kernel more adapter to typical server needs, and of course, you can also use it as an SSH server.
[20:50] <SiDi> supertanker, i thought you were complaining about what it is :P You can try AlternateCD for installs on machines with old/weak hardware too
[20:50] <leslieviljoen> subsume: is the script executable?
[20:50] <supertanker> Excellent
[20:50] <e-ogma_> Hi, I'm having a little trouble installing ubuntu 8.04 ALTERNATE. It installs ok, but the X is not working. there is no image data going to the screen on F7. can anyone help?
[20:50] <supertanker> Sidi, I got the alternate CD (Thank god :P)
[20:50] <TuxMaster> mr burns
[20:50] <SiDi> supertanker, i myself might install Ubuntu on my P II in little time (more for fun that actual utility tho :P)
[20:50] <supertanker> I was just panicking whe nI saw it meant something else
[20:50] <supertanker> It's almost done installing
[20:50] <coil7237> deever, have you tried making your regular users part of whatever group (disk iirc) has permissions for the drive?
[20:51] <subsume> leslieviljoen: its -rwxr-xr-x 1 me staff 25345 Sep 25 00:15 automysqlbackup.sh.2.5
[20:51] <DigitalFiz> w00ps
[20:51] <subsume> does it need to be owned by root?
[20:51] <SiDi> e-ogma, i didn't try the AlternateCD yet, but i think the X server is optional with AlternateCD install
[20:51] <keystr0k> Anyone know of a (GUI) subversion client that is better than RapidSVN?
[20:51] <supertanker> Uh
[20:51] <supertanker> Woah
[20:51] <Distort> Anyone here willing to tackle a slow internet connection issue?
[20:51] <supertanker> What's going on?
[20:51] <mateo> hello
[20:51] <SiDi> supertanker, that was an attack from MicrosoftZor ! (sorry couldn't resist)
[20:51] <DigitalFiz> netsplit
[20:52] <TuxMaster> hi
[20:52] <mateo> gdmsetup gives me a "segmentation fault"
[20:52] <supertanker> Haha
[20:52] <SiDi> No they all logged in at same time too. Some dude playing with bots.
[20:52] <supertanker> Well thanks for your help all
[20:52] <e-ogma> SiDi, really?! because, startx is running... it just doesn't work.
[20:52] <LjL> network problems
[20:52] <supertanker> If I can get Linux to regognize my modem I'll be great
[20:52] <SiDi> Distort, we still can try
[20:52] <mateo> any idea ?
[20:52] <supertanker> I take it most hardware modems (Old giant ISA cards) will work?
[20:52] <SiDi> e-ogma, that would need further investigation but i can't help you on this ;) Maybe ask about AlternateCD install and X server on the forums
[20:52] <nikki_> Hey guys! This is actually a pretty old problem, but I fixed it and forgot about it.
[20:52] <supertanker> I love hardwarem odems
[20:52] <supertanker> modems*
[20:53] <leslieviljoen> subsume: check that it has the same permissions and ownership as everything else
[20:53] <nikki_> The latest 2 nvidia drivers listed in EnvyNG don't work for me.
[20:53] <SiDi> e-ogma, probably the fastest way to get an answer if noone got a similar case under hand to help you find out what's wrong.
[20:53] <subsume> leslieviljoen: it doesn't.
[20:53] <subsume> the rest are different
[20:53] <nikki_> But the 3rd one (72.something) works.
[20:53] <supertanker> But what's this "Thin Client" thing it's making?
[20:53] <supertanker> Sidi, do you know?
[20:53] <leslieviljoen> subsume: well try and make it the same then
[20:53] <Distort> SiDi: still try what? :o
[20:53] <SiDi> nikki_, the 173.x didn't work for me when i tried them. I'ld recommand to stay with the official repository ones (169.x, working good here with 8800 GTS 320mb)
[20:54] <DigitalFiz> whats +J?
[20:54] <nikki_> Hmm...
[20:54] <SiDi> supertanker, never heard of that Thin Client thingy
[20:54] <leslieviljoen> subsume: also, try and use the same command interpreter (check that line 1 is the same as the others)
[20:54] <nikki_> SiDi, how do I get the latest official repo one?
[20:54] <nikki_> SiDi, is it on apt-get.
[20:54] <leslieviljoen> subsume: though that shouldn't cause a problem
[20:54] <Decco> anyone wanna help me with php5/mysql.. seems like php5 dont see that mysql is running missing config someplace maybe ?
[20:54] <nikki_> If so, I'll aptitude search for it.
[20:54] <SiDi> nikki_, i think it is
[20:55] <v0lksman> anyone know how to reconfigure mouse drivers for the MX Revolution?  It suddenly stopped working today.  Tried on another machine and it works fine...Buttons still work but no motion on Ubuntu... :(
[20:55] <kajo> SiDi, I don't see anything about my problem.
[20:55] <nikki_> I'm hoping the whole thing doesn't break again. SiDi what exactly didn't work for you in the latest?
[20:55] <SiDi> nikki_, if your GPU is recent, it should be nvidia-glx-new. You can check on Ubuntu docs what driver fits most with your GPU, and then remove --purge yours and install those from repo.
[20:55] <kajo> Everyone just acts like it shouldn't be grayed or something.
[20:55] <SiDi> nikki_, my X server was crashing when i was turning them on, and on system boot.
[20:55] <SiDi> Distort, what did you mean?
[20:56] <nikki_> SiDi, for me, the screen was 'flickering' and making crazy artifacts.
[20:56] <nikki_> SiDi, it was same for 96.*.
[20:56] <SiDi> kajo, try to use the forums then, i really don't know about VMWare's inner workings.
[20:56] <mrmateo> Hello
[20:56] <mrmateo> gdmsetup gives me a segfault
[20:56] <mrmateo> any idea ?
[20:56] <SiDi> nikki_, what card do you have ?
[20:56] <nikki_> Nvidia GeForce FX 5600
[20:57] <windmill> what is in the ~/.cache directory?   mine is about 300MB
[20:57] <SiDi> Ok then it won't be the nvidia-glx-new.
[20:57] <sophie_> Trying to install xubuntu-desktop by "task" in synaptic results in the removal of ubuntu-desktop and evince in favor of xubuntu-desktop and evince-gtk... I thought this would allow me to have both desktops available.. what's happening?
[20:57] <nikki_> SiDi, thanks for checking, so which one should I install then?
[20:57] <SiDi> windmill, it's likely that this comes from the trash folder that is inside .cache
[20:57] <SiDi> nikki_, give me a sec, i'll find you a doc link
[20:57] <nikki_> SiDi, thanks a lot. You seem to be really busy on the ircs. :)
[20:58]  * [Solars] ponders if he can find his old games and see if there are some *nix drivers
[20:58] <profxavier> how do I find older packages? I updated to the latest Openfire today, found that it didnt work, wasnt able to roll back to 3.6.0, and I cannot find old .debs on their website... ?
[20:58] <SiDi> nikki_, i'm meant to find some gnome devs to discuss with them about an idea i had (i dont often have ideas :P)
[20:58] <Distort> SiDi: My internet connection seems to be averaging at 10-20kB/s, I expect at least 60kB/s+ though, any idea what the issue could be?  It only seems to be slow on Ubuntu.
[20:59] <nikki_> SiDi, I see. Best of luck with it! :)
[20:59] <windmill> SiDi, There are lots of file ending in .db in there
[20:59] <SiDi> Distort, it would be good to find a packet tracker to see if something is using your bandwidth. Are you using WiFi or something similar by the way ?
[20:59] <dn4> how do I watch cspan.org videos ?
[21:00] <SiDi> windmill, .db is likely to be related to databases. It depends on what you got installed on your computer.
[21:00] <SiDi> Damn there isn't a search button on english doc, or what ?
[21:00] <nikki_> SiDi, where exactly would you look for the docs? I can do it myself.
[21:00] <Distort> SiDi: I'm using a wireless adaptor that gets signal from my nearby DSL router.
[21:01] <SiDi> nikki_, i think you'll find it on the nvidia site. There are 3 kinds of nvidia drivers : legacy, normal, and new, if i remember well. For each, there's a list of supported cards.
[21:02] <e-ogma> SiDi: i've serched google, and asked around...  I'm using an old PCI 64 DRAM video card, do you think it would be that?
[21:02] <SiDi> Distort, it could be that a daemon is using bandwidth, or you're not using the most optimised drivers.
[21:03] <Marius> can i eat mushrooms that have hairs?
[21:03] <SiDi> Best is to google "slow wifi ubuntu", and eventually to add the exact name of your WiFi adaptor
[21:03] <dn4> has ubuntu figured out a way to watch cspan's live streams?
[21:03] <zer0o> hi guys can somebody help me with wicd?
[21:03] <SiDi> Maybe, e-ogma.
[21:03] <bariga> talking about drivers does anybody know if the proprietary driver works stable ?
[21:03] <bariga> the one of nvidia
[21:04] <SiDi> I think there is an output when you start X, at Ctrl+Alt+F8, e-ogma
[21:04] <profxavier> how do I find older packages? I updated to the latest Openfire today, found that it didnt work, wasnt able to roll back to 3.6.0, and I cannot find old .debs on their website... ?
[21:04] <SiDi> Maybe this will help you to find what's crashing it, e-ogma.
[21:04] <fignuts> hi
[21:04] <fignuts> i've installed ubuntu on my laptop, everything is fine but i have no sound
[21:05] <SiDi> bariga, you can install those that ubuntu suggests you to use in the "Peripheral Drivers" window in System -> Settings menu.
[21:05] <histo> !sound > fignuts
[21:05] <bobertdos> !sound > fignuts
[21:05] <so_> is there an easy way to upgrade to 2.6.27-rc4 ?
[21:05] <profxavier> fignuts, sound in which application (please be specific, possibly the one ur using to test the sound)
[21:05] <fignuts> in any
[21:05] <fignuts> from the sounds manager in administration
[21:06] <fignuts> preferences, rather
[21:06] <SiDi> fignuts, google "ubuntu + the name of your sound card"
[21:06] <bariga> SiDi: i know but i wanna know if the nvidia driver is stable and won't mess up my os :)
[21:06] <supertanker> Whatever this "Thin  Client" is, it's taking ages to compress
[21:06] <fignuts> ok
[21:06] <nikki_> An 'i' to the left of a package in the search result list in aptitude means its installed right?
[21:06] <ejer> the one ubuntu supplies works fine bariga
[21:06] <seand> where would i go to ask someone to update the Qt packages in the repository?
[21:06] <SiDi> fignuts, it's likely that you need to install particular drivers. it happens with old or new or exotic sound cards. Search the docs + google and you'll find guides for most of the cards.
[21:06] <macvr> hi guys....i'm a noob... i moved my home folder to new partition and now the home folder has a lost&found folder with only root access...wheras the lost+found in my root is accesible by me...do i need to change the permissions?
[21:06] <profxavier> fignuts, i wrote the part in brackets () to ask which specific application you are attempting to get sound to work on
[21:06] <bariga> thx ejer
[21:06] <SiDi> bariga, this one doesnt at all for me (whilst others did and forced me to reinstall it all :P)
[21:07] <SiDi> hehe supertanker, time to make coffee then ;)
[21:07] <seand> anyone know?
[21:07] <funkja> I'm trying to start a graphical application via cron. Let's say that I want my Exaile, my music player, to open and play a song every minute. I put in my cron tab "* * * * * 'env DISPLAY=:0.0 exaile'" to setup my display enviornment and start the application. I can see in my syslog that it ran the command but my music player did not start. Any ideas on how to make this work?
[21:07] <SiDi> seand, i think you can ask on forums, or maybe in the developers part of the site. maybe they don't update it because they're checkin for compatibility glitches.
[21:07] <Decco> anyone wanna help me with php5/mysql.. seems like php5 dont see that mysql is running missing config someplace maybe ??
[21:07] <supertanker> Poor Pentium III
[21:07] <nikki_> SiDi, 23:06 < nikki_> An 'i' to the left of a package in the search result list in aptitude means its installed right?
[21:08] <macvr> hi guys....i'm a noob... i moved my home folder to new partition and now the home folder has a lost&found folder with only root access...wheras the lost+found in my root is accesible by me...do i need to change the permissions?
[21:08] <nikki_> :)
[21:08] <tyberion_> hmm how can I get a list of all files that are in a package, I got via apt-get install...?
[21:08] <profxavier> Decco, I think thats been a known issue
[21:08] <SiDi> nikki_, yes it does.
[21:08] <ejer> seand: you should search launchpad first https://launchpad.net/ubuntu
[21:08] <Slart_> funkja: just one thing.. that would start exaile every second.. not every minute, iirc
[21:08] <seand> k thanks SiDi
[21:08] <nikki_> SiDi, thanks, sorry for bugging you. :P
[21:08] <Decco> profxavier, and how do i fix ?
[21:08] <profxavier> Decco, have you scanned the forums about it... if not, thats a good idea
[21:08] <sjur> hello all
[21:08] <SiDi> nikki_, you may have to uninstall your drivers in a first time "sudo aptitude purge XXX" if you use aptitude, "sudo apt-get autoremove --purge XXX" if you use apt-get.
[21:08] <seand> oh okay thanks ejer
[21:08] <jhaig> How can I configure apache to allow me to use perl?  I have installed the apache perl packages but I can only use it in the cgi-bin directory.  Thanks?
[21:08] <Decco> profxavier, i have tho.. that's why i'm here
[21:09]  * SiDi is completely lost :D
[21:09] <seand> but ejer, i did just get it yesterday, so it probably isn't updated
[21:09] <ejer> jhaig: that is normal
[21:09] <bobertdos> tyberion_: Read the manual for apt-cache. The showpkg command would be a good starting point.
[21:09] <Slart_> funkja: nevermind me.. I'm lost and wrong =)
[21:09] <sjur> how do i browse into a folder on my desktop using terminal?
[21:09] <ejer> seand: they will not update it in current release unless it is security fixes etc
[21:09] <Slart_> funkja: crontab updates once a minute.. no matter what I think I've read
[21:09] <funkja> Slart_: haha okay, thought so.
[21:09] <histo> sjur: cd /home/sjur/Desktop
[21:09] <seand> ejer: wow that sucks
[21:10] <seand> ejer: bug fixes are important too
[21:10] <ejer> sjur: cd ~/Desktop/yourfolder
[21:10] <funkja> Slart_: any ideas on how to start a program that uses X
[21:10] <jhaig> ejer: But it is possible to enable it throughout.  I've done it on (dare I say it) other Linux distributions but the configuration set up for Apache on Ubuntu is different.
[21:10] <SiDi> seand, in fact ejer is right : it's about launchpad :D
[21:10] <ejer> seand: they will do bug fixes
[21:10] <Marie_untu> I have been working in a text document with Abiword, I saved the file and after restart the pc the file only has 1 page, is there any way to recover the lost data?????
[21:10] <profxavier> how do I find older packages? I updated to the latest Openfire today, found that it didnt work, wasnt able to roll back to 3.6.0, and I cannot find old .debs on their website... ?
[21:10] <seand> ejer: do i have to let them know about the bug, then?
[21:10] <SiDi> sjur, you should be able to do with "cd" to move and "ls" to display. use "man cd" and "man ls" for more details and options
[21:10] <Slart_> funkja: I would make a script then make sure the script runs as it should when started from a terminal.. then try starting it from crontab.. just to separate things
[21:10] <macvr> hi guys....i'm a noob... i moved my home folder to new partition and now the home folder has a lost&found folder with only root access...wheras the lost+found in my root is accesible by me...do i need to change the permissions?
[21:10] <sjur> i get reply no such file or direcdtory
[21:11] <Hackintosh411> Hey
[21:11] <funkja> Slart_: I have gone to a different tty console even and ran 'env DISPLAY=:0.0 exaile' and it works. but it won't work in cron
[21:11] <ejer> jhaig: check this, http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/addcgitoapache.shtml
[21:11] <Hackintosh411> Hackintosh411 just made the switch from windows vista to ubuntu 8.04!
[21:11] <ejer> !bugs | seand
[21:12] <seand> no no it's not in ubuntu it's in qt
[21:12] <seand> the non-updated package
[21:12] <SiDi> "cd FOLDERNAME" to move to the folder named FOLDERNAME. "cd /" to go to the root of your system. "cd ~/" to go to your personal folder. "cd .." to go to parent folder, sjur
[21:12] <jhaig> ejer: Thanks.
[21:12] <bobertdos> macvr: Unless you actually need something in that folder, I'd leave it be. Otherwise, you can certainly try changing permissions.
[21:12] <Slart_> funkja: perhaps the "env" thingy just works in bash.. not sure if crontab starts a terminal first.. try running it as bash -c bla bla bla or whatever the bash switch is to run a  command
[21:12] <ejer> seand: qt is a toolkit used in ubuntu, you would usually report bug to ubuntu
[21:12] <SiDi> sjur, also, "ls" to display the content of the current folder.
[21:12] <funkja> Slart_: good idea
[21:12] <Marie_untu> I have been working in a text document with Abiword, I saved the file and after restart the pc the file only has 1 page, is there any way to recover the lost data?????
[21:12] <seand> ejer: yeah but the bug was fixed in a newer version of qt
[21:13] <Marie_untu> How can i recover data from the computer registry???
[21:13] <seand> ejer: so i was just asking if i should tell them about it, and ask to update
[21:13] <csilk> Marie_untu,  ubuntu has no "computer registry"
[21:13] <Guest85786> hi! is there a russian ubuntu channel?
[21:13] <ejer> seand: most likely it will be in hardy+1 , if you do not see a bug report, you may want to submit one, but most likely this has been covered
[21:13] <seand> oh
[21:13] <macvr> bobertdos> ok... what about the folder in my root ... is it normal to be accesible by the admin user? why i'm asking this is since i had a problem and a lot of file permissions were changed...
[21:13] <SiDi> Marie_untu, what the bloody hell is Abiword ?
[21:13] <profxavier> how do I find older packages? I updated to the latest Openfire today, found that it didnt work, wasnt able to roll back to 3.6.0, and I cannot find old .debs on their website... ?
[21:14] <seand> where would i find hardy+1 ejer? :D
[21:14] <Marie_untu> ok csilk, so is there any way to recover the data typed???
[21:14] <ejer> !interepid | seand
[21:14] <seand> ejer: please forgive me lack of knowledge about linux :)
[21:14] <ejer> !intrepid | seand
[21:14] <seand> ooh sounds risky
[21:14] <ejer> SiDi: abiword is a word processor
[21:14] <Marie_untu> sidi, it is a word processor, quite known, it comes as default with xubuntu
[21:14] <csilk> Marie_untu,  you could try looking in .abiword or w/e the config dir is called. i dont use that app so i'm not your guy
[21:15] <SiDi> Marie_untu, it seems your editor didn't actually save the file if there is a part of it missing. And i don't think there is a way to recover it unless AbiWord is able to save current document and propose backups if it crashed.
[21:15] <bobertdos> macvr: It is not normal to be able to access any folder besides home without root privileges.
[21:15] <ejer> Marie_untu: it is possible abiword saved a backup of your file called yourfile.abw~
[21:15] <leslieviljoen> SiDi: abiword is awesome!
[21:15] <Guest85786> hi! is there a russian ubuntu channel?
[21:16] <SiDi> leslieviljoen, Marie_untu, ejer, sorry, never heard of it. :) I'ld say that you should check the abiword default folder or if there is a version of your file with a ~ at end of name. that's usually where you find backups.
[21:16] <Marie_untu> ejer: where abiword saves the backups???
[21:16] <funkja> Slart_: still didn't work. darn it.
[21:16] <SiDi> Hi Guest85786 : #ubuntu-ru
[21:16] <v0lksman> what controls the input of mouse movement in X?  Something killed my mouse today but the buttons still work fine...just can't move the cursor...
[21:16] <Guest85786> SiDi, thanks
[21:16] <ejer> Marie_untu: go to edit>prefs in abiword > documents, you will see it by default auto saves every 5 mins to yourfile.bak~
[21:16] <funkja> Slart_: Is there a way to get better output from cron?
[21:16] <Marie_untu> sidi, better for you, abi just destroy my day :)
[21:16] <macvr> bobertos> oh....could u post a screenshot of ur root folder... so that i could compare and alter the file permissions to match the emblems?
[21:16] <Slart_> funkja: cron has a log-level switch.. check the man page
[21:17] <Slart_> funkja: you could try saving the output of your command using some redirection too
[21:17] <ejer> v0lksman: even after you restart X?
[21:17] <Slart_> funkja: what does your crontab look like now?
[21:17] <alphae> what is the best solition to protect proxy trojen and other attack?
[21:17] <v0lksman> ejer: yep...even reconfigured xorg just to be safe...
[21:17] <alphae> ????????????
[21:17] <Marie_untu> ejer: yep, it says "File extension: .bak~", but where it is stored???
[21:18] <ejer> v0lksman: i know it sounds dumb, but make sure it is plugged in right
[21:18] <funkja> Slart_:  * * * * "bash -c 'env DISPLAY=:0.0 exaile'"
[21:18] <alphae> what is the best solition to protect proxy trojen and other attack?
[21:18] <SiDi> Marie_untu, in the same folder than the document you were working on, i guess.
[21:18] <SiDi> alphae, there is no trojan/virus on Ubuntu.
[21:18] <csilk> alphae,  what?
[21:18] <v0lksman> ejer: hahaha...yeah...believe me...I've tried in both USB ports on my laptop...same problem...also tried in my buddies laptop (same thing running windows) and it works so it's not the mouse
[21:18] <Slart_> funkja: tried dropping the "env" and just doing "bash -c 'DISPLAY=0.0 exaile'" ?
[21:19] <seand> so ejer: in launchpad.net those packages that are built will be in 8.10 but not in 8.04?
[21:19] <SiDi> v0lksman, does it just always crash ?
[21:19] <deever> coil7237: well, i've created new partitions on the drive and after that it didn't work anymore...;)
[21:19] <Slart_> funkja: also .. make sure crontab doesn't do weird stuff with your 's and "s
[21:19] <DimStar> hello.. how would the process be if I'd like to see the library 'libproxy' appearing in your distribution?
[21:19] <v0lksman> SiDi: ?  no crashing...just no mouse motion..buttons work fine...everything else seems ok
[21:19] <ejer> seand: when ubuntu is released, they no longer update packages for features on that version, only security stuff, so you will maybe need to wait for next ver
[21:19] <alphae>  mean irc services like unreal de  sidi
[21:19] <alphae> sidi  mean irc services like unreal de
[21:19] <SiDi> v0lksman, but i mean it's always? I only had this after huge crash of fullscreen wine apps.
[21:19] <v0lksman> ejer: SiDi: dmesg also shows the reciever each time I plug it in or unplug it
[21:19] <seand> ejer: do you happen to know when 8.10 is scheduled? :)
[21:19] <linny> hello im using tsclient in ubuntu to connect to a win server2003 desktop does anyone know how i can make the ctl alt del keystrokes go to the server rather than the local machine ? thanks
[21:19] <mikebot> IS there a terminal torrent client that doesn't run as slowly as does rtorrent?
[21:20] <Slart_> funkja: oh.. another thing.. try putting the full path to exaile in there too..
[21:20] <alphae>  mean irc services like unreal de ???
[21:20] <SiDi> alphae, you will not receive trojans on linux. This doesnt happen because Linux is cool.
[21:20] <ejer> Marie_untu: i am trying to figure it out
[21:20] <Marie_untu> ok, i found the back up file, but the data still missing? you know another way..?
[21:20]  * SiDi knows that what he said is obviously a very simplified and shortened version of what it actually is.
[21:20] <funkja> Slart_: okay
[21:20] <ejer> Marie_untu: nope
[21:20] <profxavier> how do I find older packages? I updated to the latest Openfire today, found that it didnt work, wasnt able to roll back to 3.6.0, and I cannot find old .debs on their website... ?
[21:20] <v0lksman> SiDi: well it was working this morning...suddenly (while using it) it got chunky then stopped all together...I've rebooted (power off)..no dice...reconfigured xorg, xorg-input-mouse and restarted...no go...
[21:21] <leslieviljoen> Marie_untu: I think you are out of luck
[21:21] <Marie_untu> i created the document with openoffice the i modified it wth abiword, then i saved it and now just 1 page was saved
[21:21] <coil7237> deever, what are the partitions formatted as?
[21:21] <bobertdos> macvr: The root directory has octal permissions 755
[21:21] <SiDi> Marie_untu, there is nothing to do if in the backup file data wasn't saved either. Is your Hard Drive Disk full, by chance? Did you change the chmod of the wolder in which you work? (i don't know what else it could be)
[21:21] <v0lksman> SiDi: even revoco is still working on the wheel...hahaha
[21:21] <Distort> How do I tell the terminal to change it's directory to the desktop? >>
[21:21] <Marie_untu> :) thanks leslievil for not advise
[21:21] <ejer> Marie_untu: those 2 programs do not use same format... so funny stuff can happen, stick with one or the other
[21:22] <coil7237> deever, also, did you set them as "users" instead of "user" in fstab?
[21:22] <SiDi> v0lksman, if you're not scared of it, you may boot in recovery mode and reset your X server to default.
[21:22] <bobertdos> Distort: assuming you're in the home directory, cd Desktop
[21:22] <linny>  Distort: cd ./Desktop
[21:22] <Marie_untu> yep I know that now, but abi should advise you before open the odt file...
[21:22] <Choice> Why do I get results from Google UK when I use the firefox default home page?
[21:22] <Distort> Thanks :D
[21:22] <bobertdos> Distort: otherwise, cd ~/Desktop
[21:22] <Marie_untu> otherwise people like me will stop using abi
[21:22] <SiDi> v0lksman, did you install anything by the meanwhile, btw ?
[21:22] <v0lksman> SiDi: hrm...yeah mebbe...how's that different from dpkg-reconfigure?
[21:22] <macvr> bobertdos>i meant th folders inside root[bin.boot,...]
[21:22] <v0lksman> SiDi: nope...no changes to the system today
[21:22] <seand> Choice: probably the wrong channel to ask in ;)
[21:22] <Marie_untu> anyway, thanks very much for the answers
[21:22] <Marie_untu> :)
[21:22] <babaklinux> hi
[21:23] <SiDi> Distort, from wherever: "cd ~/Desktop"
[21:23] <profxavier> is there maybe an FTP site, where i can get earlier releases of packages?
[21:23] <csilk> Choice, either you;re in the UK or thats the way the firefox homepage is working right now?
[21:23] <ejer> v0lksman: maybe? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=421581
[21:23] <mez2> firefox doesn't start anymore.. it just quits after the "starting firefox" window dissapears
[21:23] <ejer> profxavier: http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[21:23] <csilk> Choice, uk and us google are the same anyway unless you specifically click the tab that says "uk search only" or somtheing like that
[21:23] <funkja> Slart_: Sep 29 15:23:01 niniel CRON[22814]: (funkja) CMD ("/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/env DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/exaile'") - And it is still not working.
[21:23] <SiDi> v0lksman, i'm not sure but i don't know if dpkg-reconfigure really changes everything. It more sounds to me like a GUI to xorg.conf. Reset always worked for me when nothing else did.
[21:23] <deever> coil7237: the automount mechanism doesn't use the fstab...
[21:23] <SiDi> v0lksman, of course you'll backup your xorg.conf before :D
[21:24] <faria> hello
[21:24] <jack-desktop> where is the java jdk folder?
[21:24] <v0lksman> ejer: yea saw that bug report...no fix listed though...and I'm in Hardy and not using evdev
[21:24] <idefix_> why is linux so careful with allowing its user to make a directory in root?
[21:24] <babaklinux> I want install lm_sensors but when I write this command sudo apt-get install lm_sensors this error appear  Reading package lists... Done
[21:24] <babaklinux> Building dependency tree

[21:24] <alphae> i need irc support for unreal where can i get info about that?
[21:24] <mikebot> Or, how can I run transmission from a terminal?
[21:24] <profxavier> ejer, nothing comes up for results when searching for Openfire
[21:24] <SiDi> profxavier, all i can say is that it's not recommanded at all.
[21:24] <v0lksman> SiDi: how do you reset?
[21:24] <profxavier> SiDi, what isnt ?
[21:24] <kevin---> Anyone know how in Xubuntu to reinstall the GNOME network manager and get rid of wicd? I don't wanna screw things up
[21:24] <ejer> v0lksman: they suggest a fix there... acpi grub line, or use ps2
[21:24] <alphae> i need irc support for unreal where can i get info about that?
[21:25] <ejer> profxavier: is it an ubuntu package?
[21:25] <SiDi> profxavier, using packages not on the official repository. There might be bugs that werent fixed yet.
[21:25] <idefix_> babaklinux' flood covered my question :(
[21:25] <profxavier> SiDi, i think you meant to reply to someone else, not me
[21:25] <brightwebworks> I am using Eclipse Europa with Ubuntu and the java engine slows down my development. Eclipse is just behaving very slow. Anyway to advert this situation?
[21:25] <SiDi> v0lksman, you can boot on Recovery mode from Grub for that. And don't forget to "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/mysexyxorg.backup" before
[21:25] <jnus> ok - I know this is a little 'offtopic'. I need someone to help me out with some VB for excel... Small problem, used hours @ google and still no answer. Any Excel-script experts who would give their 2 cents?
[21:25] <profxavier> ejer, yes, its a package available on Ubuntu
[21:26] <mez2> firefox doesn't start anymore.. it just quits after the "starting firefox" window dissapears.,, anybody know a solution? i already tried reinstalling firefox
[21:26] <SiDi> alphae, try an IRC channel that concerns Unreal, not Ubuntu ?
[21:26] <idefix_> I give a round of beer
[21:26] <Slart_> funkja: hmm.. ok.. let me install exaile and have a go at it
[21:26] <dimebar> mez2: if you run it from the console do you get any error messages?
[21:26] <SiDi> jnus, did you try Wine instead?
[21:26] <Choice> http://start.ubuntu.com/8.04/   directs me to Google.co.uk  I want to change it but I want ubuntu to get money like firefox does
[21:26] <v0lksman> ejer: I must be having a rough day cause I don't see that suggestion on the report...
[21:26] <leslieviljoen> babaklinux: perhaps you are looking for collectd?
[21:26] <ejer> profxavier: no, it does not seem to be
[21:26] <Distort> How do I figure out which package manager I'm using?
[21:26] <babaklinux> I want install lm_sensors but when I write this command sudo apt-get install lm_sensors this error appear http://paste.ubuntu.com/52222/plain/  how can I install it?
[21:26] <funkja> Slart_: okay, thanks.
[21:26] <SiDi> Distort, do you usually type aptitude or apt-get ?
[21:26] <ejer> v0lksman: i posted a forum link, not a bug report http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=421581
[21:27] <mez2> dimebar how do i start it from the console
[21:27] <v0lksman> SiDi: but what am I running in recovery mode to reset?
[21:27] <seand> Choice: yeah but firefox is a quality project that has potential
[21:27] <mez2> dimebar just typing firefox?
[21:27] <Distort> I've never typed either, actually
[21:27] <profxavier> ejer, yeah, sorry, its not apart of Ubuntu
[21:27] <profxavier> my bad
[21:27] <ejer> Distort: you are using apt, whatever you choose is just a frontend to apt
[21:27] <SiDi> v0lksman, there are not much options at all, it'll be obvious, don't worry ;) And please confirm you backed up your xorg.conf, just incase :P
[21:27] <mikebot> Does anyone know how to close a window in irssi?

[21:27] <scales11> hi all, i just installed xubuntu onto my ps3 and for some reason the network card (wired) is not getting a connection.  i am not sure it is fully detected
[21:27] <v0lksman> ejer: ahh...thanks...wrong window... ;)
[21:27] <mez2> dimebar it says Segmentation fault
[21:28] <ejer> profxavier: you will find the packages at their site I assume
[21:28] <profxavier> ejer, do you know how to go back a package ?
[21:28] <v0lksman> SiDi: hahah...I have backups... :0
[21:28] <v0lksman> SiDi: :)
[21:28] <dimebar> mez2: just that?  doesn't it say anything before that?
[21:28] <SiDi> babaklinux, the package name is probably different. Go on the editor's site or packages.ubuntu.com and search for the good one (you can use apt-cache search XXX to search for XXX too)
[21:28] <ejer> uninstall then reinstall profxavier
[21:28] <profxavier> ejer, no, they don't have them on the site, so im trying to find an FTP or something
[21:28] <mez2> dimebar no
[21:28] <profxavier> ejer, reinstall from what ?
[21:28] <linny>  scales11: there is a separate room for ps3 http://psubuntu.com/
[21:28] <ejer> profxavier: this is not an ubuntu question really
[21:28] <linny> go there
[21:28] <SiDi> jnus, #microsoftexcel then :P You'll barely find someone using Excel here ;)
[21:29] <profxavier> ejer, falling back to a previous package is
[21:29] <kevin---> looking to uninstall wicd in Xubuntu but not break GNOME network manager in the process. Any ideas?
[21:29] <snip3r> hey everyone, I have been having a small problem with ubuntu recently and I was wondering, If anybody could help me out.  Does anyone know how to address the issues?
[21:29] <dimebar> mez2: in nautilus set 'show hidden files' to true and rename your .mozilla to mozilla~backup
[21:29] <jondiced> quit

[21:30] <babaklinux> SiDi: but don't work
[21:30] <jack-desktop> where can i find the java jdk folder
[21:30] <funkja> Slart_: do you know of another way to do this besides cron?

[21:30] <Slart_> funkja: do you get that too?
[21:30] <snip3r> anybody know the problem im referring to or has any type of idea in mind?
[21:30] <SiDi> babaklinux, maybe the guide isn't up to date or the package was removed for some reason. I would try http://packages.ubuntu.com, or the package editor's website ;)
[21:31] <funkja> Slart_: where would I see that?
[21:31] <macvr> bobertdos> thank you... will match it accordingly...

[21:31] <mikebot> Does transmission-cli not work in 8.04?
[21:31] <ejer> profxavier: change the URL to be the version you want http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloads/download-landing.jsp?file=openfire/openfire_3.6.0a_all.deb
[21:31] <Slart_> funkja: in the syslog..
[21:31] <SiDi> snip3r, it could be a file/config/package being buggy aswell as hardware compatibility. Is there any output in the Shell (Ctrl+Alt+F1 for shell, Ctrl+Alt+F7 for Graphic UI) ?
[21:32] <funkja> Slart_: I did not see that, no
[21:32] <SiDi> mikebot, transmission works ok for me, out of the box. check your routeur configuration.
[21:32] <alphae> how can i protect my Unreal3.2.3 irc server against to proxy and trojan attack?
[21:33] <mikebot> SiDi: I'm trying to get the command line transmission to work though. When I try to install it from the package manager I get some error..
[21:33] <ejer> a firewall alphae?
[21:33] <babaklinux> SiDi: how can I understand lm_sensors is in wich category in this page  ?  http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/
[21:33] <profxavier> ejer, thanks :D
[21:33] <SiDi> mikebot, sorry, i never tried this. I actually didn't know you could do peer 2 peer in command line.
[21:33] <macvr> bobertdos> thank you...
[21:33] <ejer> mikebot: check out rtorrent for cli torrents...
[21:34] <mikebot> SiDi: IT's OK. Thanks for responding though.
[21:34] <mez2> what is GDB?
[21:34] <kurumin> d
[21:34] <ejer> babaklinux: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/allpackages

[21:44] <gam3r111> does anyone know how to install wii instrument
[21:44] <SiDi> snip3r, i just can not help you at all. if it's a laptop known problem there is probably a page about it in the Ubuntu.com documentation.
[21:45] <ejer> roukoun: you probably just want to delete ~/.fluxbox
[21:45] <snip3r> SiDi: i remember someone helped me once and they did a force somthing that made my laptop do something else if it ever froze
[21:45] <georgy_28> roukoun, : apt-get remove --purge, then apt-get install fluxbox

[21:45] <roukoun> ejer: i want to delete the /etc/X11/fluxbox/
[21:45] <ejer> georgy_28: that will not reset anything
[21:46] <klikklak> ejer: I noticed that find would dump the contents in to the current dir, and I want it in the same place as the zip file.  still, thanks.
[21:46] <roukoun> georgy_28: thanks!
[21:46] <mikebot> ejer: When I try to install it I get the following error: transmission-cli: Depends: transmission-common (= 1.06-0ubuntu4) ut 1.06-0ubuntu6 is to be installed
[21:46] <mez2> lol dimebar i cant open that link because firefox doesnt work. does it have a fix?
[21:46] <ejer> klikklak: just a small tweak then

[21:47] <gam3r111> does anyone know how to install wii instrument
[21:47] <dimebar> mez2: haha sorry well other people are reporting the same issue you have.  you could try using epiphany for the time being (am sure if a few people have reported the prob it'll be fixed in the very near future)

[21:48] <ejer> or ffmpeg
[21:48] <gam3r111> yea some help please
[21:48] <SiDi> gam3r111, your issue is pretty uncommon. You should try on Wii specialised forums.
[21:48] <basti> ejer, thx
[21:48] <Stormx2> Slart_, can't see videocut in the repos
[21:49] <gam3r111> SIDI but the program is for linux
[21:49] <Slart_> Stormx2: oh.. google for their site.. they have a repos of their own
[21:49] <ejer> gam3r111: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CWiiD

[21:50] <gam3r111> sidi i looked there
[21:50] <mikebot> ejer: Do you know what this error means?
[21:50] <Stormx2> ejer, hopefully it's possible from CLI :)
[21:50] <Stormx2> (I'm sure it will be)
[21:51] <ejer> Stormx2: no that is a gui, use mencoder or ffmpeg
[21:51] <mez2> thanks dimebar
[21:51] <SiDi> I mean : go to ubuntu (or generic linux) forums and post about your problem in the games part of the forums, gam3r111
[21:51] <Slart_> Stormx2: ah.. you'll have to wait a month then =)
[21:51] <dimebar> mez2: no problem.. at least now you can look at the bug report ;)
[21:51] <Stormx2> gam3r111: If no one answers your question, don't keep repeating it :|
[21:51] <Stormx2> Slart_, nah :)

[21:53] <Slart_> !fr | yangg
[21:53] <funkja> Slart_: what does your whole crontab entry look like?
[21:53] <DanCarr> hey all
[21:53] <mez2> dimebar what does that segmentation fault thing have to do with anyway?
[21:53] <ejer> even easier Stormx2 mplayer -frames 1 -vo jpeg outdir=/ tmp:quality=75 path/to/movie.mov (remove space before tmp)
[21:53] <yangg> oups wrong windows sorry

[21:54] <gam3r111> Can someone explain my instructions to me

[21:54] <mirex> DanCarr: have you tried asking a question ? :)
[21:55] <DanCarr> lol sorry mirex, it's a complicated question with multiple queries
[21:55] <DanCarr> lol

[21:55] <Stormx2> ejer: That extracts every frame?
[21:55] <yangg> i have be looking at it but no "hour plannification" for meeting and job to be done
[21:55] <CostaRicanQuaker> it's like multimedia froze
[21:55] <ejer> Stormx2: no, first one... do you want every frame?
[21:56] <ejer> Stormx2: it is for making vid thumbnails basically
[21:56] <mez2> dimebar 8.04 64 bit
[21:56] <Stormx2> ejer, nah, that's fine
[21:56] <konkfireTH> españoles?
[21:56] <Stormx2> !es | konkfireTH
[21:56] <Slart_> !es | konkfireTH
[21:56] <Stormx2> I won :O
[21:56] <SiDi> mez2, you just seem to have a few glitches with your soundcards, plus trouble with firefox. If you don't give up and search around, you may solve them fast.
[21:56] <Slart_> =)
[21:56] <histo> CostaRicanQuaker: possibly the sound system crashed or something. You can try restarted X ctrl+alt+backspace this will log you out
[21:56] <DanCarr> basically i'm having an acer aspire one delivered i nthe next couple of days, and i realise there is a project dedicated to the laptop but they people aren't being terribly responsive. i was wondering what the performance is like on the machine with SSD and possibly using a smart card for swap or something?? (first question)
[21:57] <dimebar> mez2: hmmm, in synaptic try unticking epiphany-gecko and install epiphany-webkit
[21:57] <davidroderick> klikklak: try the find . -print0 option. it uses ASCII0 null character not newline
[21:57] <SiDi> dimebar, that hurt my eyes :)
[21:57] <slade605> Hey guys, I am looking for some help installing ubuntu x64 edition on a power house of a pc, I have had a ton of trouble with it and am willing to offer some sort of reward for your time if anyone is up to the task
[21:57] <Slart_> DanCarr: ubuntu isn't optimized for SSD's.. I don't think there is an os that is.. yet.. but it will work.. I run my desktop on a SSD
[21:58] <DanCarr> i see slart
[21:58] <histo> slade605: what problems did you encounter?
[21:58] <mez2> dimebar when i untick epiphany-gecko, it also wants to uninstall epiphany itself, and there is no webkit package
[21:58] <davidroderick> DanCarr: I am using one now.  What is SSD?
[21:58] <Slart_> Solid State Drive
[21:58] <DanCarr> solid state disk
[21:58] <DanCarr> ratehr than teh 120gb hard drive
[21:58] <Slart_> disk, drive, door, dog.. whatever =)
[21:58] <slade605> histo: issues with graphical display and general install issues
[21:58] <DanCarr> lol
[21:59] <histo> slade605: did you try using the alternate install iso then?
[21:59] <histo> slade605: its a text based installer thats availible on the get ubuntu page. Just check the box that you need the alternate cd.
[21:59] <slade605> histo: No, my buddy told me to try Vesa drivers to load because as soon as it starts, it goes out of range on the monitor
[21:59] <DanCarr> second question is anyone sucessfully managed to set up office 07 through wine yet??
[22:00] <histo> slade605: yeah you can try that or on the first menu that comes up on the cd try the "safe graphics option"
[22:00] <davidroderick> I see Tesco UK does something like this 8Gb for 200 pounds all in
[22:00] <Slart_> DanCarr: haven't tried.. but I suppose there ought to be some info about it in the application database.. appdb.winehq.org
[22:00] <slade605> histo: OK, the CD is still downloading, should I get the alternate instead or ..?
[22:00] <DanCarr> i had a brief look, but it seems most people are having varying levels of success
[22:00] <DanCarr> just wondered if there was anyone first hand on here that had done it sucessfully
[22:01] <bdbdbd> ok, i've installed ubuntu "inside windows" from hardy heron 8.04 disk and it will not boot -- hangs at boot scripts, any ideas?
[22:01] <histo> slade605: if you are having issues witht he live cd I would definately use the alternate iso. I have to use it on my machine to install as well.
[22:01] <kevin---> anyone know what's wrong if my wireless PCMCIA card is giving a 169. address when trying to connect wirelessly yet there's no MAC address filtering enabled? I am connecting via WPA and am typing in the correct password
[22:01] <slade605> histo: ok, I'll get them both just in case
[22:01] <redheat> hi everyone
[22:02] <histo> slade605: Basically try the normal iso first using safe graphics option. Then if that won't boot you can always install witht he alternate iso.
[22:02] <davidroderick> My question.  How do I get active file from a  nntp server onto my local machine.  Do I have to use Leafnode. Is there anything else?
[22:02] <redheat> just a quick question folks..how can I make linux partitions visible under windows? which program should I use for that?
[22:02] <DamienGray> how do i chmod all of the files in a directory
[22:02] <DanCarr> last question guys - has anyone sucessfully managed to use their sony erricson mobile phone as a 3g/hsdpa modem via bluetooth (quite specific i know)
[22:02] <redheat> and should I format them as ex2 or ex3 to make them visible?
[22:02] <zewm__> Damien: chmod <parameters> *
[22:02] <histo> DanCarr: i've seen some info on the forums about people tethering their phones.
[22:02] <DanCarr> hmm sounds hopeful then histo
[22:03] <DamienGray> zewm__ thank
[22:03] <DamienGray> s
[22:03] <Slart_> DanCarr: hmm.. I've used my nokia phone via bluetooth.. not sure if I had a 3g connection though
[22:03] <Stormx2> ejer, if you're interested, what I'm doing is recording a music video show via a TV card, dumping it to an mpeg, then splitting up the videos with a combination of OCR and just detecting colours
[22:03] <_haywire_> kevin--- something is wrong.... can you connect through unencrypted
[22:03] <davidroderick> redheat: sudo vol_id /dev/sd<number>
[22:03] <georgy_28> DamienGray, : with the -R option
[22:03] <DanCarr> slart did you have one set up as like gprs?
[22:03] <kevin---> red_, ext2 and 3 are not visible in Windows
[22:03] <DanCarr> or did you just use it to sync?
[22:03] <carandraug> bdbdbd: try pressing F2 on the GRUB menu and remove splash from the kernel line. Then boot. It should allow to see the errors
[22:03] <davidroderick> redheat: sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[22:03] <DanCarr> i'm sure it is possible if it finds the correct services when you pair the devices
[22:03] <redheat> davidroderick..kevin what should I do to make them visible then
[22:03] <kevin---> _haywire_, maybe. I'd have to turn off WPA in the router. Lemme do that and try I guess
[22:03] <DanCarr> just going to be a right pain to set up
[22:03] <SiDi> kevin---, look for "Ext2fs windows" on google.
[22:03] <redheat> david, what are these command if I may?
[22:04] <SiDi> kevin---, that's a driver for reading ext2/3 partitions from windowz
[22:04] <redheat> roger...
[22:04] <klikklak> ejer: -execdir did the trick, I should have been looking at find instead of trying recursion
[22:04] <dimebar> mez2: on the ubuntu forums someone says they solved it by uninstalling firefox and xulrunner and reinstalling them
[22:04] <nowimproved> can I download the vmware 5.0 anywhere in the package manager?
[22:04] <redheat> no no sorry SiDi, I was asking david about those commands he just typed
[22:04] <kevin---> SiDi, Ah cooL! :)
[22:04] <Slart_> DanCarr: gprs? I used the internet connection in my phone.. I didn't dial a modem pool somewhere.. if that's what you mean
[22:04] <SiDi> redheat, ??
[22:04] <kevin---> redheat, do what SiDi recommended
[22:05] <redheat> no I meant thank you SiDi for the help
[22:05] <SiDi> redheat, kevin---, you just got me lost :D
[22:05] <DanCarr> slart intersting, how did you achieve that then?
[22:05] <DanCarr> lol
[22:05] <_haywire_> kevin is wlan issue
[22:05] <_haywire_> heh
[22:05] <DanCarr> was it an option on a program (i'm forgot the phone app name)
[22:05]  * krebs will wait 10 mins before asking...
[22:05] <redheat> SiDi, would that program make them visible under windows
[22:05] <SiDi> Ok i understood after scrolling a little :p You're welcome redheat :)
[22:05] <redheat> no problem
[22:06] <krebs> can I ask a question?
[22:06] <zewm_> nope.
[22:06] <krebs> :(
[22:06] <zewm_> j/k, ask away
[22:06] <redheat> lol
[22:06] <krebs> lol
[22:06] <redheat> sure fire away
[22:06] <carandraug> !ask | krebs
[22:06] <DamienGray> How do I make files have  rwx-rx-rx permissions
[22:07] <Slart_> DanCarr: I called my operator.. I connected to the phone.. told my computer to use it as a modem but dial some weird number.. *1**2 bla bla something.. basically it connected me via the same route as the phones internal browser
[22:07] <davidroderick> redheat: can you open a private channel or message to me? I don't know how
[22:07] <carandraug> DamienGray: "sudo chmod 777 /path_to_file" I believe
[22:07] <krebs> ok this is the problem: I have audio card with optical out. it works, I can volume+ and volume- by xmms but no way tochange/mute via gnome
[22:07] <redheat> absolutley
[22:07] <DanCarr> hmm i see slart
[22:07] <DanCarr> that sounds familiar to this guide i read
[22:07] <Ubu> aew galera
[22:07] <DanCarr> problem is how do i know what number to dial my provider with
[22:07] <DanCarr> lol
[22:07] <carandraug> DamienGray: actually, I think it's 755
[22:08] <oscillocam>  Damien_ chmod 755 file is rwxr_xr_x
[22:08] <DamienGray> carandung: What if they're all in a folder
[22:08] <Ubu> tem brasiliro ai
[22:08] <Ubu> brasileiro ai
[22:08] <Slart_> DanCarr: I called my operator and kept asking the same question until I finally found a technician.. there were some other settings too
[22:08] <carandraug> DamienGray: add the option -R (recursive)
[22:08] <Shadiko> I have a question...
[22:08] <o7andrew> !
[22:08] <carandraug> !br | Ubu
[22:08] <Kevinhappyfuntim> _haywire_, back
[22:08] <carandraug> DamienGray: so, "sudo chmod -R 755 /path_to_folder"
[22:09] <DamienGray> carandung: thanks
[22:09] <DanCarr> i see slart, i'll try and give that a go, give them a good badgering lol
[22:09] <Slart_> DanCarr: hehe.. good luck
[22:09] <carandraug> DamienGray: no problem
[22:09] <oscillocam> Damen_ be careful with -R    ..you have been warned
[22:09] <DamienGray> oscillocam: ok
[22:09] <Shadiko> on the ubuntu cd, if you boot in windows, and see the menu, theres Install inside windows option, does that mean I can dual boot windows and Ubuntu without erasing anything?
[22:09] <Kevinhappyfuntim> _haywire_, Umm... Setting the router into open didn't do anything because GNOME network manager isn't allowing me to even connect w/o any encryption -- build I'm using Xubuntu 8.04. I had wicd installed before to get another wireless card working but that didn't work. but uninstalled it.
[22:10] <nowimproved> anyone know how I can make it not ask for a password with sudo -s
[22:10] <o7andrew> !
[22:10] <carandraug> DamienGray: yess. There's probably an option to do it recursively and still ask you if you're sure. Take a look at man chmod
[22:10] <DamienGray> ok
[22:10] <Shadiko> on the ubuntu cd, if you boot in windows, and see the menu, theres Install inside windows option, does that mean I can dual boot windows and Ubuntu without erasing anything?
[22:10] <carandraug> nowimproved: ies, but are you sure you want that?
[22:11] <nowimproved> yes I am sure carandraug
[22:11] <Kevinhappyfuntim> Shadiko, make sure to back up your data first though!
[22:11] <Slart_> nowimproved: you've read the man page for sudo? there are a lot of options in there
[22:11] <_haywire_> Kevinhappyfuntim ahh you'll have to manually connect then and set network manager into roaming
[22:11] <carandraug> nowimproved: you know how to use vi?
[22:11] <Shadiko> ok thanks
[22:11] <nowimproved> I use vim
[22:11] <Shadiko> but what does that option do?
[22:11] <roukoun_> join #ubuntu
[22:11] <Shadiko> Install inside windows
[22:12] <roukoun_> join #fluxbox
[22:12] <Kevinhappyfuntim> _haywire_, is there anyway to reinstall GNOME Network manager now that wicd is gone? I think some files are missing
[22:12] <carandraug> nowimproved: ok, so run visudo. It will take you to edit the sudoers but make sure you give no errors. There's an option to there to allow to use sudo without having to give the password
[22:12] <mez2> dimebar when i try to uninstall xulrunner, synaptic wants to uninstall "ubunbut-desktop" as well, is that safe?
[22:12] <miguel2802> hello everyone
[22:12] <nowimproved> I did that carandraug it dont work
[22:13] <nowimproved>  %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
[22:13] <_haywire_> assuming your wlan is going fine then > sudo ifconfig wlan0 down <enter> sudo dhclient -r wlan0 <enter> sudo ifconfig wlan0 up <enter> sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "ESSIDNAME_IN_QUOTES" <enter> sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed <enter> sudo dhclient wlan0
[22:13] <_haywire_> Kevinhappyfuntim sorry that was for you above
[22:14] <carandraug> nowimproved: hmm, can you pastebin "sudo cat /etc/sudoers"
[22:14] <nowimproved> http://pastebin.ca/1214040
[22:15] <carandraug> nowimproved: take a look at /etc/groups. Is your user part of the group sudo?
[22:15] <deever> how do i make the automount mechanism mount a usb disk rw for a regular user?
[22:15] <oscillocam> nowimproved: just be sure only *your* account can only run sudo without a password.
[22:15] <Kevinhappyfuntim> _haywire_, see if this works. It's also showing as wlan2 instead of 0 for some reason. I can change that later
[22:17] <Kevinhappyfuntim> _haywire_, http://pastebin.ca/1214044
[22:17] <Kevinhappyfuntim> _haywire_, same issue it seems. No IP, only 169.
[22:18] <carandraug> nowimproved: I think by default, users are not part of the sudo group and that's needed to use the nopasswd option. Also, you sure you don't want to tighen up a bit and give that option only to yourself?
[22:18] <Kevinhappyfuntim> _haywire_, oops, should I put the router back to open on wireless?
[22:19] <dimebar> mez2: yes, sorry i was afk.
[22:19] <infexion> just a question but why would someone need a standalone dhcp client?
[22:20] <bdbdbd> ok, i've installed ubuntu "inside windows" from hardy heron 8.04 disk and it will not boot -- hangs at boot scripts, any ideas?
[22:20] <bdbdbd> is there a way to save the files from the filesystem?
[22:21] <tanath> how would i install ubuntu from a cd to an external hard drive?
[22:21] <bdbdbd> boot from the CD-ROM
[22:21] <tanath> bdbdbd, without doing that
[22:21] <_haywire_> Kevinhappyfuntim yes open wireless then issue the commands
[22:21] <Kevinhappyfuntim> tanath, just select your external HDD to install to
[22:21] <Kevinhappyfuntim> tanath, I've done it before but it's kinda screwy
[22:21] <bdbdbd> in windows, when you put in the CD-ROM, run the exe on the hardy heron disk
[22:21] <infexion> tanath: do you want to install from usb drive?
[22:21] <oscillocam> bdbdbd what filesystem?
[22:21] <tanath> bdbdbd, i don't have windows
[22:22] <bdbdbd> it will ask you if you want to install ubuntu
[22:22] <bdbdbd> what do you have then?
[22:22] <tanath> infexion, install _to_
[22:22] <_haywire_> Kevinhappyfuntim i just went through this yesterday when i upgraded from 7.04.... still not sure it's been worth the headache.... maybe should have waiting for 8.10
[22:22] <bdbdbd> you have to be able to boot from the CD-ROM
[22:22] <tanath> bdbdbd, ubuntu
[22:22] <bdbdbd> oscillocam: the filesystem of ubuntu, how do i repair the boot scripts?
[22:23] <tanath> Kevinhappyfuntim, i have to run something first. there doesn't seem to be anything on the disc to run
[22:23] <kevinbackagain> back again!
[22:23] <kevinbackagain> tanath, did you see what I wrote?
[22:23] <infexion> tanath: I am not sure what you are attempting to do... you want to install ubuntu to an external drive without booting from the cd and without any operating system
[22:23] <infexion> tanath: is this correct?
[22:23] <oscillocam> bdbdbd I would boot from the Ubuntu CD in expert mode and re-install grub... I could be wrong
[22:23] <kevinbackagain> _haywire_, umm... nope! Lol. So it's not a WPA issue. it's an issue w/ something else
[22:24] <kevinbackagain> _haywire_, I say that because it didn't connect even if it was open
[22:24] <bdbdbd> oscillocam: i'm booted from the disk right now
[22:24] <tanath> infexion, i'm on ubuntu now. i want to install it to a friend'd hard drive, so he can take it home and use it
[22:24] <bdbdbd> oscillocam: but the ubuntu filesystem is stored in windows, anyway how can i fix it by repairing the boot scripts / resetting the boot scritps?  it has no network
[22:24] <_haywire_> kevinbackagain is the adapter coming on or blinking your router lights at all
[22:24] <infexion> tanath boot to cdrom live distro and use that external drive as the partition it installs on
[22:25] <bdbdbd> the "user switcher" keeps crashing
[22:25] <oscillocam> bdbdbd sorry, I have no experience with Ubuntu -not- on it's own partition
[22:25] <bdbdbd> well, its essentially the same oscillocam
[22:25] <tanath> kevinbackagain, apparently not
[22:25] <kevin---> why do I keep coming back with 100 different user names! :( Oh well...
[22:25] <bdbdbd> how do you repair the boot scripts of ubuntu?
[22:25] <tanath> infexion, is there no way to do it without rebooting?
[22:25] <kevin---> tanath, I've installed to a HDD before that's not inside of the PC. IT's really screwy.
[22:25] <csilk> is there a time server i can sync ubuntu with?
[22:25] <tanath> kevin---, how so?
[22:26] <BobCFC> bdbdbd: boot the liveCD and edit the files?
[22:26] <_haywire_> kevinbackagain does iwconfig dispay anything for you
[22:26] <kevin---> tanath, well it depends on how your BIOS order is set. Linux sees drive order different than windows. Are you trying to dual boot w/ an external?
[22:26] <bdbdbd> BobCFC: I can boot into root mode recovery mode
[22:26] <kevin---> _haywire_, it's me now :P
[22:26] <_haywire_> heh ok
[22:26] <bdbdbd> BobCFC: I need to rebuild the boot scripts, something's gone screwy
[22:26] <jmsthing678> I'm new to linux can someone please tell me how to install the driver for my graphics card?
[22:26] <bdbdbd> BobCFC without network
[22:26] <bdbdbd> !ati
[22:27] <tanath> kevin---, i'm trying to install ubuntu to an external hard drive for a friend, so he can take it home and use it
[22:27] <kevin---> _haywire_, http://pastebin.ca/1214055
[22:27] <csilk> !time
[22:27] <bah> It is now Monday September 29 2008 05:27:18 PM UTC-4 (EDT). (24 hour time is 17:27:18).<PHONE_NUMBER> seconds since 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970. (Not counting leap seconds.)
[22:27] <bdbdbd> !inside windows
[22:27] <kevin---> tanath, oh. well it compiles for the hardware. So if your hardware isn't the same as his, it won't work I think. Same w/ Windows.
[22:27] <bdbdbd> !boot scripts
[22:27] <tanath> kevin---, yeah, i was thinking that
[22:27] <bdbdbd> !recovery mode
[22:27] <bdbdbd> !recovery
[22:28] <ubuntu1234> How can I compleatly reinstall *not reinstate, tired that with out luck* grub from a live cd?
[22:28] <tanath> kevin---, but can it not detect hardware changes, and use the appropriate drivers?
[22:28] <BobCFC> sorry bdbdbd i thought it was a grub problem, init and upstart is abit beyond me
[22:29] <kevin---> tanath, but he can install it himself on that HDD, but if he has Windows, good luck. Sometimes you'll have to change GRUB to set the USB as hda instead of hdb or have it hd0 depending on something. It's been a month since I did it. It took us forever to get it to work because when we installed it, the USB drive was read as hda in Linux and not hdb. Really difficult since the Windows drive was the main one.
[22:29] <tanath> kevin---, no he can't. there's some issues
[22:29] <tanath> kevin---, his windows install is corrupted
[22:29] <bdbdbd> ok, i've installed ubuntu "inside windows" from hardy heron 8.04 disk and it will not boot -- hangs at boot scripts, any ideas?
[22:29] <kevin---> tanath, the LiveCD has a boatload of drivers, the Ubuntu you install probably does not
[22:29] <csilk> when i install ntp support then click "sync with time server" i just get asked to re-install ntp, it's like an endless loop, any dieas?
[22:30] <kevin---> tanath, you can just boot to the CD, it won't even touch Windows.
[22:30] <phoenixz> bdbdbd: well what exactly is the problem? what shows? error messages?
[22:30] <tanath> kevin---, i know.
[22:30] <kevin---> tanath, why does he want Ubuntu? There might be other solutions here.
[22:30] <BobCFC> he left
[22:30] <rsc-> how can i install kernel modules if i have a .ko file?
[22:30] <kevin---> _haywire_, did you get my pastebin?
[22:30] <ghjsabile> ciao
[22:30] <rsc-> do i just copy it to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ ..?
[22:30] <_haywire_> yeah i think your close
[22:30] <oscillocam> bdbdbd   at what point during boot? does it start to boot at all?
[22:31] <phoenixz> rsc-: not entirely sure on this one but try placing it in the kernel modules directory and then modprobe modulename
[22:31] <tanath> kevin---, largely from watching me use it, i think
[22:31] <kevin---> tanath, ok, so he wants it as his main OS, and probably doesn't wanna reformat the Windows partition?
[22:31] <_haywire_> kevin--- i'm redoing my again just to see.... problem with manual install though is wlan0 gets dropped after a few minutes of inactivity and so far the only work around i've found is to hard boot
[22:32] <tanath> kevin---, i've already partitioned the drive
[22:32] <kevin---> tanath, ah ok. So what IS the friend wanting? Since Windows doesn't boot, I feel like putting Ubuntu on a USB HDD probably isn't the only reason.
[22:32] <tanath> kevin---, the plan is to back up some stuff while booted to linux, and kill the partition on the old drive. he has a worm
[22:33] <tanath> kevin---, he brought me the hard drive to try to install ubuntu for him, since the boot & live cds weren't working for him
[22:33] <tanath> kevin---, brought me his new one, that is
[22:34] <kevin---> tanath, ah! Well you can use Ubuntu to repartition the drive that Windows is installed on and you can install Ubuntu into. But the LiveCD's don't work which doesn't make sense. That means that Ubuntu probably won't work. I was gonna suggest just booting from a LiveCD and moving the data onto the external HDD or repartitioning the main drive and installing Ubuntu there and then pulling the data into Ubuntu and having it the
[22:34] <kevin---> re as a dual-boot.
[22:35] <alteregoa> morning
[22:35] <tanath> kevin---, his old drive with corrupted windows is still at home. he brought me a newer (and bigger) one, which i've split into ext3 & fat32
[22:35] <alteregoa> does the mr kernel support promise sata300tx2
[22:35] <carandraug> !pastebin > carandraug
[22:35] <jmsthing678> can someone please walk me through installing a program I'm new to linux and I don't quite know what to do
[22:36] <alteregoa> i got a banana called rofs
[22:36] <alteregoa> whats a rofs?
[22:36] <Slart_> jmsthing678: what program do you want to install?
[22:36] <kevin---> _haywire_, so I have to hard boot?
[22:36] <infexion> tanath: can you boot onto a live distro on YOUR current machine?
[22:36] <jmsthing678> well it's a game. Eternal Lands
[22:36] <magnetron> jmsthing678, go to >Applications > add/remove
[22:36] <alteregoa> rofs, are you great
[22:36] <tanath> infexion, yes, though i'd prefer not to reboot
[22:37] <infexion> tanath: that seems like it would be the best option to go into the live cd and install it onto the external hard drive
[22:37] <Slart_> jmsthing678: I don't think that is available through the repos.. do you have a site or something for the game?
[22:37] <jmsthing678> yes
[22:37] <tanath> infexion, yeah, possibly
[22:37] <jmsthing678> www.eternal-lands.com
[22:38] <infexion> tanath: and then he can take it home and do with it what he needs to... problem is if it is not working with live CD's I do not know how it would work with an external hard drive...
[22:38] <infexion> tanath: so that presents an issue.
[22:38] <maxb> What is the proper way to make the dbus-launched wpa_supplicant go away so I can run one manually?
[22:38] <ubuntu1234> How can I compleatly reinstall *not reinstate, tired that with out luck* grub from a live cd?
[22:38] <infexion> tanath: but all is worth trying
[22:39] <kevin---> apt-get, lol
[22:40] <apt-get> hi
[22:40] <mez2> dimebar it didnt work...
[22:40] <ozzloy> hey, how do i tell what linux distro is on a server?  i have root on it
[22:41] <ozzloy> it has yum and not apt-get, so i'm guessing a version of redhat/fedora
[22:41] <oscillocam> ozzloy: cat /etc/motd
[22:41] <ozzloy> oscillocam: blank
[22:41] <_haywire_> kevin--- was your usb dongle found during installation of ubuntu
[22:41] <BobCFC> jmsthing678: did you try the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EternalLands
[22:41] <dimebar> mez2: i don't know what else to suggest i'm afraid
[22:41] <oscillocam> ozzloy: i didn't see the message about yum
[22:42] <jmsthing678> thanks
[22:42] <BobCFC> jmsthing678: you need to add a 3rd party repo then you can find it in synaptic
[22:42] <ozzloy> oscillocam: thanks anyways
[22:42] <BobCFC> the bit you want is in heading "Install using GUI tools"
[22:42] <e-ogma> hello, i got my just installed ubuntu 88.04 ALTERNATE, to open gm, but cannot configure monitor or video card... The preferences>screen resolution doesn't allow changes and there aren't any options for video/graphics on administrator menu. help?
[22:43] <ozzloy> nm, i found it.  thanks anyways
[22:46] <deever> how do i make the automount mechanism mount a usb disk rw for a regular user?
[22:46] <kevin---> _haywire_, what do you mean? It's a PCMCIA card. I just popped it in. Lights are working suprisingly.
[22:47] <nananuu> Why my ubuntu alvay for deleting files asks premission how to disable it?
[22:47] <Gammi> nananuu: rm -r ;)
[22:47] <coil7237> I'm setting a static ip with "exalt" gui.  I thought I removed the daemon for dhcp3 some months ago.  But I keep getting knocked off line and exalt indicates that it is reset back to dhcp.  What is doing this? I didn't remove (purge) the dhcp3 config files, but set the static ip I want in the config file as well. (gnome/enlightenment/2.6.22)
[22:48] <nananuu> Gammi, in Terminal?
[22:48] <Gammi> yeah
[22:48] <Nimrod> hey, dose any one know how can i select, lets say, 100K fils in MC?
[22:48] <nananuu> ok
[22:48] <danbh_intrepid> coil7237: what about the interfaces file?
[22:48] <bobertdos> deever: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[22:48] <Gammi> or you can use the "Shift + delete"... you will still be promt. but it will skip the trash bin and just... be deleted;)
[22:49] <gtr_punk_er> gahgahgah
[22:49] <gtr_punk_er> x-caht
[22:49] <gtr_punk_er> x-chat
[22:49] <nananuu> Gammi, I eaven can`t delete using shift
[22:49] <Docteh> anyone here have a domain with godaddy? I want to know if you can specify an IP address as a domain server
[22:49] <Gammi> :S
[22:49] <coil7237> danbh_intrepid, this is what I have in interfaces, I'm using eth1: auto lo
[22:49] <coil7237> iface lo inet loopback
[22:49] <coil7237> auto eth0
[22:49] <coil7237> iface eth0 inet dhcp
[22:49] <coil7237> auto eth1
[22:49] <FloodBot2> coil7237: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:49] <coil7237> iface eth1 inet dhcp
[22:49] <BobCFC> nananuu: which files are you trying to delete, if it in in ur home folder it wont ask, if not you shouldnt delete them really
[22:50] <nananuu> BobCFC,  in may MP3 player and may folders
[22:50] <nananuu> but now in mp3
[22:51] <bobertdos> nananuu: You have to use sudo in the terminal to rm files in the filesystem any other place than home.
[22:51] <Gammi> what hapens if you do the "sudo rm -r /bin/rm" ?
[22:51] <DigitalFiz> Gammi, the world will end
[22:51] <BobCFC> file in use
[22:51] <BobCFC> lock
[22:51] <nananuu> bobertdos,  whats rm?
[22:51] <Mr_Fixit> lol @ world ending
[22:51] <zewm_> nananuu: rm means remove
[22:52] <coil7237> danbh_intrepid, sorry about the flood, here's the link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/52250/
[22:52] <nananuu> What must then I do now?
[22:52] <danbh_intrepid> coil7237: erm, please use the pastebin, as suggest next time, but it looks like you have eth0 and eth1 set to use dhcp.   Thats what iface eth0 inet dhcp means.   If you dont want it to use dhcp, and you want to use another program to configure, just delete any references to those interfaces.  LEAVE THE ONE FOR lo
[22:52] <evelyette> hi, does rtl8187 support WPA2?
[22:52] <Gammi> nananuu: you can also type "sudo nautilus" in terminal to get a GUI of the file system; )
[22:52] <danbh_intrepid> coil7237: yeah, they are all set to dhcp.  I suspect thats why you are having a problem
[22:52] <Gammi> nananuu: but be carefull!
[22:53] <coil7237> danbh_intrepid, should I just delete "dhcp" or the lines completely?
[22:53] <bobertdos> Gammi, nananuu: If you're going to do that, it's better to use gksudo
[22:53] <nananuu> eee user sharing is disabled
[22:53] <danbh_intrepid> coil7237: for whatever interface you want configured separately, completely.  but remember to leave the 2 lines about lo alone
[22:53] <Gammi> bobertdos: I use su, then the comando... i don't like the... sudo thingy:P but i aslo use the & at the end;)
[22:53] <coil7237> danbh_intrepid, thanks!
[22:54] <BobCFC> Gammi: he means that because its an x program not command line you should use gksu or gksudo
[22:55] <nananuu> The problem is when the files have the emblem read only
[22:55] <Gammi> BobCFC, but why? why not just use su or sudo... ?
[22:55] <nananuu> and I cant delete them
[22:56] <bobertdos> Gammi: Because sudo doesn't always set up the environment properly for X applications. Sometimes, it raises the users privileges, but still interfaces with the user's profile when it SHOULD interface with root's.
[22:56] <BobCFC> Gammi: the gk versions ask for password in a window not command line.. i think the problem is if sudop crashes when as root somehting happens to permissions and u might get stuck. i never had a problem though
[22:57] <Delvien_> I am trying to bind the F7 key with Xbindkeys. and i need help on what the "Command" whould be
[22:57] <sisif> Hello. Anyone here uses the new BCM43xx driver ?
[22:57] <Gammi> BobCFC, bobertdos: I never got problems with that either... but i don't use sudo... but i will reamember it.. thanks..
[22:58] <CartoonCat> sisif, i have,  but i droped it as i got better hardware. what ya need
[22:58] <Mr_Fixit> nananuu, if you go into the terminal. you can delete the files with sudo rm -rf <--- that's not the smart way to do it if you are unsure what you are doing
[22:58] <sisif> CartoonCat : do you had any problems with encrypted wifi connections ?
[22:58] <Mr_Fixit> nananuu, type Alt F2 and type in "sudo nautilus" and delete the files in there
[22:59] <jmsthing678> um... i just moved my application to an other workspace how do I get it back?
[23:00] <Mehrab> hey everybody
[23:00] <CartoonCat> sisif, I used it on few encrypted aps, so no not really, WPA is a bit ticky, WEP was fine
[23:00] <nananuu> http://img213.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotoe6.png Mr_Fixit  and others thats what apears when I try to delete them
[23:00] <sisif> CartoonCat : I see.
[23:00] <jmsthing678> um... i just moved my application to an other workspace how do I get it back?
[23:00] <Biggz> open the workspace it's at and move it back?
[23:01] <Mr_Fixit> nananuu, do Alt F2 and "sudo nautilus"
[23:01] <bobertdos> !gksudo | Mr_Fixit
[23:01] <jmsthing678> how do I open  the workspace?
[23:01] <Mr_Fixit> oh yea gksu nautilus
[23:01] <bobertdos> :)
[23:01] <mristermusic> hello there. I need some help.
[23:01] <nananuu> Mr_Fixit,  and now?
[23:01] <Mr_Fixit> <--- used to CLI
[23:02] <Mr_Fixit> now go delete the files you want..
[23:02] <sisif> Can anyone recomend me a nice network manager, besides WICD ?
[23:02] <BobCFC> we need to stop it mounting as root in the first place really
[23:02] <Mr_Fixit> gksu nautilus is how you can delete anything you need
[23:02] <bobertdos> as long as you're careful :)
[23:02] <mristermusic> man..I have a sweet linux but know nothing about it.
[23:03] <Mehrab> does anybody know a software to merge multiple pdf files?
[23:03] <Mr_Fixit> well bobertdos it's more safe than them doin rm -rf
[23:03] <jmsthing678> yes can some one please tell me how to access my other workspace??
[23:03] <mristermusic> click on the square in the corner
[23:03] <mristermusic> ha
[23:03] <Mr_Fixit> jmsthing678, Ctrl Alt Left arrow
[23:03] <DigitalFiz> anyone know how i can make the volume controls on my logitech keyboard work on 8.04?
[23:03] <nananuu> Mr_Fixit,  no the same
[23:04] <jmsthing678> thanks
[23:04] <taknikin> Does anyone here know how to disable backtrace?
[23:04] <Mr_Fixit> nananuu, click the arrow on there and tell me the reason why it doesn't let you?
[23:04] <jmsthing678> why doesent that button show up in the bottom like it used to?
[23:04] <bobertdos> Mr_Fixit: In a way, I suppose, but it's still more dangerous because giving a novice root control of Nautilus pretty much gives them license to do whatever they want, which is an easy way to damage the system.
[23:04] <mristermusic> hey how does one learn to use this
[23:04] <BobCFC> jmsthing678: you can rightclick on the panel and add it again..choose add to panel then scroll down to workspaces
[23:05] <Mr_Fixit> very true bobertdos..... BUT they need to learn somewhere (o;
[23:05] <jmsthing678> thanks I'm a ubuntu noob
[23:05] <nananuu> Mr_Fixit,  The file "Bloodhound Gang" cannot be moved to the trash.
[23:05] <mristermusic> i neeeed to make youtube videosss workk
[23:05] <nananuu> and whith shift it does not eaven work
[23:05] <bobertdos> !flash > mristermusic
[23:06] <mristermusic> hey you...can u watch videos?
[23:06] <Mr_Fixit> nananuu, are you sure you are using "gksu nautilus"?
[23:06] <mristermusic> 1376 ignoring bastards
[23:06] <mristermusic> lol
[23:07] <Denise> yeah
[23:07] <Denise> 1374
[23:07] <nananuu> Mr_Fixit,  I think so
[23:07] <Mr_Fixit> try again...
[23:07] <Mr_Fixit> Alt F2 "gksu nautilus"
[23:07] <deever> bobertdos: *automount*, not static mount
[23:07] <kebomix> hello . i downloaded real player 11 in .bin file , and dont know how to set up it ?
[23:08] <nananuu> Mr_Fixit,  nothing
[23:08] <BobCFC> mristermusic: goto applications->add/remove make sure show is set to all availible, then type RESTRICTED in search, tick ubuntu-restricted-extras and that will install flash, you need to reestart firsfox
[23:08] <bobertdos> deever: Editing fstab is HOW you manage automounting.
[23:08] <jmsthing678> I officially think ubuntu is the best OS ever
[23:08] <Mr_Fixit> wow jmsthing678 you must be a noob
[23:08] <kebomix> jmsthing678: me too as im new to linux :D
[23:08] <martinaware> i guess he is
[23:09] <jmsthing678> yes I installed Ubuntu last night at 2:30 am
[23:09] <BobCFC> damn missed him
[23:09] <kebomix>  i downloaded real player 11 in .bin file , and dont know how to set up it ?
[23:09] <Mr_Fixit> poor fellow.... well jmsthing678 don't count your eggs before they hatch
[23:09] <thiebaude> i agree jmsthing678
[23:09] <BobCFC> !realplayer
[23:09] <deever> bobertdos: wrong, the mount points explicitely set of plugged-in media are stored somewhere else to...
[23:10] <Mr_Fixit> linux is a noob nightmare lol
[23:10] <jmsthing678> well I have yet to see any downsides to ubuntu
[23:10] <Sylphid|work> i have speakers plugged into the headphone jack in my laptop... is it possible to play sounds out both the headphone jack and build in speakers?
[23:10] <jmsthing678> at least none that matter to me
[23:10] <gray--> no downsides until things break :)
[23:10] <kebomix> i have fat 32 partition and every time i reboot , i have to mount it again , any solution 4 that ?!
[23:10] <Mr_Fixit> jmsthing678, is your flash and java and sound all working?
[23:10] <jmsthing678> sound works
[23:10] <jmsthing678> idk about flash or java haven't checked
[23:11] <Spaceratt> I have a Ralink RT2561 wireless card and it worked flawlessly last time I installed ubuntu, but this time it completely refuses to work
[23:11] <bobertdos> deever: Yes, but if you add fstab entries, I do believe those take precedence.
[23:11] <Spaceratt> It is in a different slot, and I have a new graphics card
[23:11] <unop> !fstab > kebomix
[23:11] <Spaceratt> does either of them matter?
[23:11] <Mr_Fixit> if they don't work jmsthing678 there are non-free packages in the repositories
[23:11] <excess^> I've got a wierd problem and I'm not sure whether it's Ubuntu or Amarok, but I have a second HDD that I use to store my music collection, but when I try to set Amarok music collection folder to my second HDD it only displays my local drive. Any advice?
[23:11] <onthefence928> i'm in the middle of installinga  program on wine and i just realized that i won't be able to install it's expansion for lack of room
[23:11] <excess^> btw, it automounts.
[23:11] <martinaware> i do not agree with you, fixit, linux, and particularly ubuntu is a nightmare for noob coming from windows, unexperimented users (with any os) leanr faster with ubuntu, as far as i was able to see.
[23:12] <Mr_Fixit> nananuu, did you delete your bloodhound gang yet?
[23:12] <bobertdos> deever: Besides, I interpret your question as having a flash drive plugged in all the time, and therefore allowing it to mount on boot, correct?
[23:12] <deever> bobertdos: but i don't want to fill up the systems fstab with user-specific devices....
[23:12] <nananuu> Mr_Fixit,  noo
[23:12] <deever> bobertdos: no, a usb drive
[23:12] <onthefence928> how do i move wine to another partition while having everything stil work?
[23:13] <bobertdos> deever: yeah, they're equivalent terms.........I think there might be separate articles for what you want to do. Let's see here...
[23:13] <Mr_Fixit> nananuu, again.... are you sure you are using gksu nautilus and not just the regular nautilus?
[23:14] <unop> onthefence928, move the ~/.wine directory to the new partition and leave behind a symlink pointing to the new location
[23:14] <onthefence928> unop how do i "leave behind a symlink"
[23:14] <nananuu> Mr_Fixit,  but how can I set when they always are radable and delatable?
[23:14] <nananuu> ok try again
[23:15] <kebomix> how to play RMVB Fiels ?
[23:15] <Mr_Fixit> nananuu,  that is in the file properties.. and can only be changed by the owner or root
[23:15] <kebomix> files
[23:15] <unop> onthefence928, not sure using the GUI - but  at the command line.  ln -s /path/to/new/.wine ~/.wine
[23:15] <deever> bobertdos: the main issue is actually that i can't mount newly created partitions on a usb disk...
[23:15] <bobertdos> deever: So you want to autmount in what way?
[23:15] <Spaceratt> is there anyone here who might be able to guide me through getting my wireless card working?
[23:15] <bobertdos> oh, oh........hmm
[23:16] <nananuu> Mr_Fixit,  I`m the owner but why they alvays are only readable?
[23:16] <Sylphid|work> is it possible to play sounds out both the headphone jack and build in speakers?
[23:16] <unop> !wireless | Spaceratt , read this first
[23:16] <BobCFC> onthefence928: if you drag and drop with middle mouse button you can choose Create Link
[23:16] <PeanutzM> what is the easiest way to set up a shell command to run from the applications menu? .. say for example I have a script that starts dreamweaver ... however.. I do not want the terminal window to stay open the rntire time
[23:16] <deever> bobertdos: ...the fat32 partition on it when it was fresh from the shop was no problem...
[23:16] <e-ogma> (ubuntu 8.04 alternate) Apparently I need the driver for my screen (794MBplus), but on samsung's site i can only download an executable file. is there any way to extract the driver from the windows installer?
[23:16] <nananuu> Mr_Fixit, gksu nautilus or gksudo nautilus
[23:16] <Mr_Fixit> nananuu, right click the file and look for the tab that says "permissions"
[23:17] <onthefence928> BobCFC: thanks a lot that's very useful
[23:17] <nananuu> I know
[23:17] <Mr_Fixit> nananuu, both of those are the same
[23:17] <deever> bobertdos: ...but then i've reformatted with ext3 and no user writable automounts any longer! :(
[23:17] <nananuu> ok
[23:17] <roukoun> is there any command for creating a launcher?
[23:17] <bobertdos> PeanutzM: Either use the run menu (Alt+F2) or in the terminal, put a & after the executable name.
[23:18] <zewm_> clear
[23:18] <unop> deever, you're going to have to give users the permissions necessary to write to the partition.
[23:18] <arkibott> oom sucks..
[23:19] <taknikin> Does anyone here know how to disable stack protection on ubuntu?
[23:19] <roukoun> is there any command for creating a launcher?
[23:19] <nananuu> Mr_Fixit,  yes I shure. ok thanks for help it`s werry late I`m going to sleep. Thanks guys :)
[23:19] <thiebaude> !stack protection
[23:19] <thiebaude> lol
[23:19] <Mr_Fixit> by nananuu
[23:19] <bobertdos> deever: Well, I'm afraid I don't really understand what you're getting at, because every tutorial out there uses fstab for automounting. So I may not be of any further help.
[23:19] <donny> roukoun: what kind of "launcher" are you talking about?
[23:19] <BobCFC> roukoun: right-click on the desktop
[23:19] <unop> roukoun, you could create a symlink to the executable - but you don't have control over the icon then - it could look a bit ugly.
[23:19] <taknikin> thiebaude: I wish it was that easy
[23:20] <deever> unop: but with fat32, this was not a problem...is this due to its lack of any permissions?
[23:20] <thiebaude> haha, taknikin
[23:20] <roukoun> donny: a launcher for an app on the desktop
[23:20] <deever> bobertdos: np, thank you! :)
[23:20] <unop> deever, fat32 has no concept of permissions and ownership
[23:20] <donny> roukoun: if you're using gnome, and you know where your application is on the main gnome menu, you can right cilck the icon in the menu, and there are choices for creating those kinds of launchers\
[23:20] <linxuz3r> hi was running ubuntu on my usb hdd in school and all of a suddent my terminal wont launch or firefox lags could this be X11 problem if how do i fix this please help me????????????
[23:20] <roukoun> BobCFC: i want to know if there is any command available to do it
[23:20] <deever> unop: this is what i was saying...;)
[23:21] <BobCFC> deever: make sure the folder for the mount point is not owned by root only
[23:21] <unop> deever, well, what were you saying?
[23:21] <roukoun> donny: i use fluxbox and i want to do it with a command
[23:21] <sisif> Ok. I`m tring to get my wifi card (bcm4311) to work with the new bcm43xx driver. Up untill now I was using ndiswrapper. So I blacklisted the b43, b43legacy, ndiswrapper and ssb modules in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, I`ve unload ndiswrapper via "ndisrapper -r driver", did a update-initramfs -u and rebooted. My kernel is 2.6.24-21-generic. I get a eth2 in "iwconfig", but when I do "iwlist scannig" I get nothing. Any sugestion on what might be wrong ?
[23:21] <outbri>  linxuz3r: why do you think firefox lagging and the terminal not launching are connected?
[23:21] <unop> BobCFC, permissions of mount points change after you mount a volume on them - that's not going to address his problem
[23:22] <donny> roukoun: i used to be a big fluxbox user, but i never created any desktop icons or anything. in fact i didn't even know fluxbox *had* a desktop/launchers
[23:22] <linxuz3r> outbri: thats what i experienced
[23:22] <deever> unop: so it's just not the automount mechanism's responsibility if the mounted volume is not fat32?
[23:22] <Tricyclethief> anyone able to help/point me to where i can get dual monitors working in 8.04 with an ati video card
[23:22] <mez2> how do i get the green bars out of videos? i tried VLC, mplayer and totem and they all have green bars somewhere
[23:22] <outbri>  linxuz3r: I'd suggest reinstalling firefox to clear up the lagging on that
[23:22] <linxuz3r> outbri: what could be the causes of terminal not responding? or terminal not launching
[23:23] <BobCFC> unop: when i create a folder in /mnt as root then mount in fstab it is readonly unless i change the mountpoint owner
[23:23] <donny> linxuz3r: are you booting a PC with the operating system on the USB HDD, or are you running a virtualized system within a host OS already running on the PC?
[23:23] <linxuz3r> ok ill try that what about terminal
[23:23] <Fuse_> hahahaah world is fucked. Brazilian stock exchange collapsed. Irish stock exchanged collapsed. Canada's is buckling, America's suffered worst drop in history.
[23:23] <Fuse_> we're gonners
[23:23] <bruenig> hmm
[23:23] <linxuz3r> im booting pc with os in usb hdd
[23:23] <roukoun> donny: it has!
[23:23] <donny> roukoun: i didn't know!
[23:23] <outbri> Tricyclethief: try running nvidia-settings
[23:23] <donny> linuxmain: does this problem persist after you reboot?
[23:23] <unop> deever, i'm not sure what that means exactly - what are you expecting 'automount' to do exactly?
[23:23] <deever> unop: in other words: almost everyone out here does not use sth different than fat32 for external media?
[23:23] <linxuz3r> anyone played warhammer?
[23:23] <DigitalFiz> Fuse_, we're all gonna die ahhhh!
[23:23] <donny> linxuz3r:  does this problem persist after you reboot?
[23:23] <zewm_> I have
[23:23] <roukoun> donny: anyway.... thanks
[23:23] <gray--> socialism ftw
[23:24] <linxuz3r> yes
[23:24] <linxuz3r> donny yes
[23:24] <deadinside> hey I need some help
[23:24] <BobCFC> mez2: there is a key to hide the bottom line, i forget, you can cut a pixel off the top bottomleft or right hang on
[23:24] <Tricyclethief> run nvidia settings for an ati card?
[23:24] <deever> unop: mount && set the permissions
[23:24] <unop> deever, you could say that - it depends on where you will be using your removable media
[23:24] <Fuse_> digitalfiz: I reckon it'll just usher in the era of responsible capitalism, personally. Do away with this silly 'free market knows all' notion.
[23:24] <linxuz3r> it was not doing that same problem the first time i booted and i ran of the usb hdd with ubuntu in it for several hours
[23:24] <donny> linxuz3r: are you familiar with the "virtual terminal" you can get to with Control+Alt+F# key combination?
[23:24] <unop> deever, permissions are not controlled by automount - atleast not with ext3
[23:24] <linxuz3r> donny im not in ubuntu right now
[23:25] <donny> linxuz3r: but are you familiar with it?
[23:25] <unop> deever, permissions are actually an entirely different issue - you set them once and they stick forever
[23:25] <linxuz3r> yes
[23:25] <linxuz3r> yes
[23:25] <donny> linxuz3r: were you experiencing any problems with that terminal?
[23:25] <outbri> Tricyclethief: oh, sorry, no. That's what I use for my nvidia card. not sure what ati uses
[23:25] <leslieviljoen> I apologise for all the popping in and out
[23:25] <linxuz3r> its monitor terminal
[23:25] <linxuz3r> i did not try that
[23:25] <linxuz3r> when i go back to school ill do that
[23:25] <PeanutzM> thanks I got it working
[23:25] <linxuz3r> trying to install in school windows xp on usb hdd
[23:25] <linxuz3r> too
[23:25] <donny> linxuz3r: well i'm not necessarily an authority on the subject, but finding out whether or not you have a problem with that vt will help diagnose what the problmem is
[23:25] <deadinside> hey all you friggen linux professors help me
[23:26] <RobertWHurst> do any of you know about Garnome, i'm runing a full compile and I'm getting hungup on firefox, it won't build properly. I tried Garnomes IRC but it was deserted
[23:26] <Tricyclethief> outbri yeah =\ ive tryd the catalyst program and i get dual monitor non cloned at log in screen but once i enter username/pass it kicks it back to clone
[23:26] <linxuz3r> ok ill try that
[23:26] <leslieviljoen> I am testing my IRC client
[23:26] <unop> BobCFC, if you created a directory under /mnt as root and mounted a volume that was owned by some other user - the directory then reflects the permissions and ownership of the volume
[23:26] <donny> linxuz3r: you might try sticking the USB HDD into a running system and checking its entire memory to make sure that it's working properly (ie. cat /dev/sda0 > /dev/null or something similar)
[23:27] <donny> linxuz3r: one possible problem that comes to mind is that your flash HDD might be failing, and that certain system calls may lock up when attempting to access information at the damaged area
[23:28] <Spaceratt> the wireless troubleshooter didn't help
[23:28] <mez2> bobCFC a key?
[23:28] <Spaceratt> the problem is that I have a RT2561 which is supposed to be supported out of the box
[23:28] <donny> linxuz3r: this will cause a number of processes to freeze up, and may result in a cascade failure that ultimately freezes your entire system, or it may remain isolated. that sort of problem can be frustrating to troubleshoot, so i strongly recommend verifying the integrity of the entire hdd
[23:28] <Spaceratt> but it's not working at all
[23:29] <BobCFC> mez2: yes sorry im looking cant find it yet
[23:30] <BobCFC> mez2: i read on a forums someone said about greenline at bottom, a reply was press this key such as crtl-K etc and it chops off the bottom line, its a problem on windows too not a linux thing
[23:30] <bobertdos> deadinside: How may we help you?
[23:30] <Xcerca> i have ubuntu on my laptop and desktop , how would i be able to network them together for file sharing (they are already on the same lan )
[23:31] <BobCFC> mez2: cant find which key but there are four keys too chop a line off top bottom left right
[23:31] <linxuz3r> donny how do i verify the integrity of my hdd?
[23:31] <bobertdos> !nfs| Xcerca
[23:31] <mez2> bobcfc i never have it on windows
[23:31] <linxuz3r> donny: how do i verify the integrity of my hdd?
[23:31] <linxuz3r> please
[23:31] <donny> linxuz3r: you might just plug it into another system and run the appropriate filesystem check utility, now that i think about it
[23:32] <donny> linxuz3r: please be patient, you shouldn't repeat yourself so quickly
[23:32] <linxuz3r> i added :
[23:32] <leslieviljoen> Yay, I have threaded IRC
[23:32] <LjL> leslieviljoen, use #test for testing please
[23:32] <leslieviljoen> This makes much more sense
[23:33] <donny> leslieviljoen: wow seriously? i was *just* thinkign in my head "gee maybe i should try and write a threading IRC client"
[23:33] <linxuz3r> donny: is it fsck?
[23:33] <leslieviljoen> Are there people in test?
[23:33] <donny> leslieviljoen: what's the name of the software?
[23:33] <LjL> leslieviljoen: type /who #test and you'll find out
[23:33] <bobertdos> linxuz3r: There's more than one way to do it. I usually just use tune2fs to set the current and maximal mount counts to force a check on bootup, and set them back when I'm done.
[23:33] <Spaceratt> can anyone help me with this?
[23:33] <donny> linxuz3r: almost certainly
[23:33] <LjL> or for that matter, join and find out
[23:34] <donny> LjL: maybe she joined, saw no one, and didn't know if it was her fancy IRC client messing up or not ;)
[23:34] <Spaceratt> the RT2561 is supposed to work by default on ubuntu 8.04 right?
[23:34] <linxuz3r> donny whats the whole command?
[23:34] <leslieviljoen> donny: I adjusted a very basic Ruby client
[23:34] <LjL> donny: but i know for a fact that there is someone ;)
[23:35] <donny> leslieviljoen: available publicly?
[23:35] <leslieviljoen> hmmm, my client doesn't support WHO yet!
[23:35] <donny> linxuz3r: probably just `fsck /path/to/hdd/device`
[23:35] <linxuz3r> donny: is it the partition or the device?
[23:35] <donny> linxuz3r: you should probably also umount it first, since many systems will auto-mount your hdd
[23:35]  * Mr_Fixit wonders what sudo rm -rf / does and decides to go check it out
[23:35] <benjick> NO DONT
[23:35] <bruenig> Mr_Fixit: good idea
[23:35] <donny> linxuz3r: the partition
[23:35] <benjick> ;>
[23:35] <benjick> you forgot &
[23:35] <bruenig> Mr_Fixit: I will do the same, let's blog about it later
[23:35] <Slart_> Mr_Fixit: dont do that here..
[23:36] <Mr_Fixit> sounds good bruenig
[23:36] <Mr_Fixit> meet back here in ten?
[23:36] <bruenig> ten eastern?
[23:36] <lost_boy432> I need help mounting my usb devices. They aren't being recognized.
[23:36] <bruenig> or ten minutes?
[23:36] <leslieviljoen> donny: do you know Ruby? I can send it to you. But it's really raw and basic at the moment
[23:36] <Mr_Fixit> lol
[23:36] <alteregoa> can someone help me setup a raid5 partition?
[23:36] <rajeev> hi
[23:36] <alteregoa> i got 4 drives sda1 to sda4
[23:36] <leslieviljoen> donny: the one thing it does properly is put everyone's conversations together
[23:36] <bruenig> !raid
[23:37] <LjL> Mr_Fixit: please, don't suggest that, directly or indirectly, ever.
[23:37] <steveydoteu> what are the advantages if any of altering the CONCURRENCY=none to =shell in /etc/init.d/rc
[23:37] <donny> leslieviljoen: no, but i've been looking for a good reason to learn it (and i love django too much for rails to be that reason ;)
[23:37] <overrun> hey guys can anyone tell me a good alternative to convert x to dvd from windows...
[23:37] <overrun> ??
[23:37] <alteregoa> thank you
[23:37] <bruenig> Mr_Fixit: never ever you hear
[23:37] <Mr_Fixit> suggest what?
[23:37] <outbri> lost_boy432: sudo mount -t file_system_type /device_location /mount_point
[23:37] <leslieviljoen> donny: so I can finally understand what's going on in this forum!
[23:37] <bachir> hi all
[23:37] <LjL> Mr_Fixit: the command you were "wondering" about
[23:37] <bachir> first sorry for my bad english
[23:37] <Slart_> overrun: huh? "convert x to dvd from windows" ? what's that supposed to mean?
[23:37] <bachir> this is my problem
[23:37] <Mr_Fixit> i just wanted to see how many of you would freak out about it
[23:37] <bachir> i wanna make color o my konsole
[23:37] <bachir> but i don't know how
[23:37] <donny> leslieviljoen: it is quite a mental excercise to make sense of the intertwining conversation ;)
[23:37] <alteregoa> i think i use xfs
[23:38] <bachir> i'll give you my .bashrc
[23:38] <Catdaemon`> how do I diagnose wicd/anything else hanging when trying to get an IP and also hanging when trying to authenticate WEP?
[23:38] <bruenig> Mr_Fixit: you realize about 5% of the channel is in the process of removing their filesystem now
[23:38] <lost_boy432> outbri: so I just type that in terminal and hit enter?
[23:38] <leslieviljoen> donny: Once you use Ruby, htere's no going back. I dumped my entire Perl childhood
[23:38] <Mr_Fixit> hahaha
[23:38] <Slart_> overrun: you want a windows program to create dvd's
[23:38] <BobCFC> mez2: are u there i found it
[23:38] <unop> Mr_Fixit, people in here have a tendency of copying commands and running them blindly - best not mention dangerous commands at all.
[23:38] <donny> leslieviljoen: so i've heard!
[23:38] <bruenig> hat on, hat off
[23:38] <alteregoa> fnordpy /dev/hda to /dev/hdganja
[23:38] <bruenig> was that a threatening hat?
[23:38] <lorbs> so i've been spending the last few hours trying to connect my 2wire 802.11g usb adapter to my ubuntu box, installed ndiswrapper and loaded up the driver from the disc but wlan0 just isn't showing up
[23:39] <Mr_Fixit> well thanks LjL
[23:39] <outbri> lost_boy432: yep. but you have to fill that command in to fit what you're doing, and the mount point will have to be created before you can mount to it
[23:39] <donny> leslieviljoen: lately i'm a big fan of haXe (silly name, prudent technology, check out haxe.org)
[23:39] <overrun> slart_ nope
[23:39] <leslieviljoen> donny: well if you want to hack at i
[23:39] <overrun> I want a linux alternative to that particular program
[23:39] <donny> leslieviljoen: definitely!
[23:39] <bachir> this is my .bashrc : http://404upload.fr/fichier-0264410001222727964.html
[23:39] <leslieviljoen> donny: it, what's your email so I can send it over?
[23:39] <alteregoa> whatever wine might it
[23:39] <bachir> i wanna make color o my konsole
[23:39] <bachir> but i don't know how
[23:40] <Slart_> overrun: something that makes video-dvd's ? try devede
[23:40] <donny> leslieviljoen: i have /msged it to you
[23:40] <Slart_> !info devede | overrun
[23:40] <overrun> tanks
[23:40] <overrun> :)
[23:40] <bruenig> this is my .bashrc: http://rafb.net/p/096qqE90.html
[23:40] <LjL> bachir: you want to change the background color of your terminal?
[23:40] <leslieviljoen> donny: but I warn ya, it's ugly and I'll be putting a gnome interface on it soon
[23:40] <bachir> Ljl, i want to change colors
[23:40] <bachir> not the background
[23:40] <donny> leslieviljoen: code is ugly? or ui is ugly?
[23:40] <lost_boy432> outbri: I know the file system is FAT32 but I dont know how to define the device location or mount point
[23:40] <LjL> bachir, the colors of "ls" then?
[23:41] <lost_boy432> outbri: its connected by usb
[23:41] <bachir> i want that al the commands be coloried
[23:41] <bachir> wait, i'll show you a screen

[23:42] <bruenig> bachir: you want to change your PS1 variable
[23:42] <outbri> lost_boy432: in a terminal, create a directory in /media. mkdir /media/usbdevice. then you have to find out where the usb device is at right now.

[23:44] <LjL> bachir: remove the # from "#force_colored_prompt=yes" in .bashrc, if you want the two-colors thing in the "you@your-desktop$/directory/"
[23:44] <LjL> bachir: to change all the text into green, that can be done with the menu in your terminal
[23:44] <BobCFC> bachir: try this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-unix-bash-shell-setup-prompt.html

[23:46] <LjL> bachir: i think just reopen the console
[23:46] <XThief> LjL i have ubuntu 7.10
[23:46] <LjL> XThief: i noticed that
[23:46] <dmsuperman> It's such an ancient pitch

[23:46] <bachir> LjL: this doesn't work

[23:47] <mikeypizano> i tried to rebuild the 6gb swap partition, but wont take hold, i hit swapon but reboot or reset and its no longer a swap partition
[23:47] <xomp> sanesto, looks like something that happened to me when I installed then removed KDE4 on my laptop. You can login with your username and password then type "start x" and your desktop will appear.
[23:47] <XThief> LjL my ubuntu is in spanish but here is the error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/52264/
[23:48] <xomp> !es | XThief

[23:48] <LjL> not a problem, i can read spanish.

[23:49] <LjL> XThief: ok, bear with me then and try a couple more apt commands
[23:50] <LjL> XThief: apt-cache policy libc6
[23:50] <sanesto> but the problem
[23:50] <sanesto> its when i go to the console
[23:50] <sanesto> ctrl alt f1
[23:50] <sanesto> the screen its very large
[23:50] <XThief> LjL sorry, what does bear with me mean?
[23:50] <sanesto> but i can go to my esktop by ctrl alt f7
[23:50] <xomp> sanesto, I know, just login at that large screen there with your username/password, you will then be at a prompt. At that prompt type "start x" and press enter.. BOOM HEADSHOT! I mean BOOM Desktop :)
[23:50] <LjL> XThief: "have some patience because it might need a few attempts"
[23:50] <XThief> xDD
[23:50] <lorbs> i can't get wlan0 to show up with my wireless adapter, installed ndiswrapper, installed driver from the cd, installed wpa_supplicant and i'm not exactly sure what im doing with that but i can't seem to get anything to work with it
[23:51] <BobCFC> bachir: try typing bash after you save changes to that file
[23:51] <lost_boy432> outbri: I made the directory but i dont know where my ipod is. How do I find it?
[23:51] <bachir> BobCFC: ok
[23:51] <BobCFC> bachir: but closing terminal shoudl do same thing
[23:51] <lost_boy432> outbri:nvm i saw your last msg

[23:51] <bachir> :(
[23:52] <vbman11> does anyone know of an app like windows movie maker
[23:52] <outbri> lost_boy432: in the output, look for the vfat, FAT16 or whatever device that is the same size as your ipod
[23:52] <krunk-> I installed ubuntu on my iBook G4 in an attempt to get a bit more snap out of it. But the gui is slower and less responsive than leopard was. I've tried using the fbdev and radeon/ati drivers, but neither work well (the dbdev are the better of the two). (radeon mobility 9200) Any suggestions on how I could improve things?
[23:52] <donavan_> anyone out there know why I am getting flashing graphics whenever I play games Im using an ATI 1650 its seems to work fine aside from this
[23:52] <LjL> XThief: ok, this is not good. you have a version of libc6 (the most important library in your system) that's different from what Gutsy (7.10) should have.  have you ever used third-party repositories, or Automatix?
[23:52] <vbman11> does anyone know of an app like windows movie maker
[23:53] <XThief> LjL probably thierd party repositories
[23:53] <sanesto> xomp, start : unknown job:x
[23:53] <donny> leslieviljoen: wait is this a server or a client? or is it both?
[23:53] <XThief> LjL does it have a fix?
[23:54] <leslieviljoen> donny: just a client
[23:54] <xomp> sanesto, try without the space "startx"
[23:54] <lost_boy432> outbri: It's a 30 gb FAT32 Ipod but it doesn't show up http://paste.ubuntu.com/52266/plain/
[23:54] <LjL> XThief: well, i can tell you how to revert to the correct version, but i really cannot guarantee that won't have adverse effects, because there might be several other packages installed with the wrong version
[23:54] <brew> any suggestion how to power save on a laptop
[23:54] <donny> leslieviljoen: ah ok, that's what i thought. cool i will take a look at this as soon as i get back from buying a chair
[23:54] <LjL> XThief: perhaps you also used Hardy repository at some stage by mistake?
[23:54] <roe_> I installed the flash-nonfree package from multiverse on hardy but youtube videos still won't play
[23:55] <XThief> LjL maybe, i dont know hahaha, i have installed a lot of things, and i dont remember
[23:55] <bachir> good bye all, i'll try to resolve that after
[23:55] <bachir> thanks anyway ;)
[23:55] <thiebaude> roe_:you use firefox?
[23:55] <roe_> yup
[23:55] <xomp> I swear firefox is broken since these latest updates
[23:55] <BobCFC> roe_: did you try the whole ubuntu-restricted-extraas package?  i found that worked better than indiviual flash
[23:55] <xomp> firefox randomly crashing when viewing facebook without notice or warning
[23:55] <XThief> LjL the adverse effects could be lost all the data?
[23:55] <Glu3> hi, what do I need to install to allow my pidgin plugins to be configured?
[23:55] <LjL> XThief: well, "sudo apt-get --reinstall install libc6=2.6.1-1ubuntu10" will get the correct version of libc6 installed -- but as i said, it might also break your system (which is already broken)
[23:56] <ubuntu> How can i reinstall grub from the live cd?
[23:56] <erUSUL> !grub | ubuntu
[23:56] <LjL> XThief: no, but it could be an inability to even start Ubuntu, so you'd need to rescue the data using a live CD
[23:56] <outbri> lost_boy432: Sure enough. I'm not quite sure then. Try switching it to a new usb port and running that comman again.
[23:56] <thiebaude> xomp:are you on ubuntu 8.04?
[23:56] <XThief> LjL its a server and i have some important files
[23:56] <xomp> thiebaude, yah
[23:57] <xomp> thiebaude, my mum visits facebook like every day and after her pc done the firefox updates it's just crashing like crazy
[23:57] <deever> how do i set a label on a partiton?
[23:57] <XThief> LjL i dont have access to the computer, so i cant put a live cd haha
[23:57] <erUSUL> deever: depends on the filesystem
[23:57] <thiebaude> xomp:can you install flash from the adobe website?
[23:57] <LjL> XThief: if it's a server, then the situation must be evaluated carefully. will you wait a couple of minutes while i do something, then i'll try to see if there's a safer way of reverting to a sane Gutsy?
[23:57] <deever> erUSUL: i though it...:(
[23:57] <xomp> thiebaude, never tried, I used the flash-nonfree package from synaptic with no probs.
[23:58] <Guma_> I waswondering if ATI 3650 is suported in 8.04 or next version out of the box. I have two of such cards in my system driving 3 displays.
[23:58] <erUSUL> deever: so what's the partition filesystem? ext3; ntfs; vfat?
[23:58] <XThief> LjL ok, take your time, and thank you for helping me. I will get something to eat meanwhile
[23:58] <bobertdos> roe_: You could try flash 10 or maybe Mozilla's own build of Firefox.
[23:58] <lost_boy432> outbri: same output with all three ports
[23:59] <roe_> bobertdos, I'd like to keep to the package system
[23:59] <JRW135> hello can someone help with a question about ubuntu?
[23:59] <thiebaude> roe_:i kept searching google for a way to install flash 10 amd finally did, but dont know what website it was.
[23:59] <erUSUL> !ask | JRW135
[23:59] <JRW135> before i install ubuntu i would like to know if i can use other Windows based programs, specifically NetObjects fusion, a website builder
