[13:02] <Hagg1> ikonia: I followed this howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM
[13:02] <ktosia> error: 'Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: Y
[13:02] <magnetron> revilodraw: oh, did you say iso? then you need the DeVeDe program as well
[13:02] <ikonia> ktosia: thats not apt-get remove - thats the output of mysqldamin
[13:02] <ikonia> Hagg1: ok, I've seen that guide before, what is the problem
[13:03] <asathoor> soundray >> that's what I needed, thanx...!
[13:03] <fyrestrtr> ktosia: please do ask you are asked.
[13:03] <mike> nyone know how to set up a pcmcia 3G gateway using an old PC running Ubuntu
[13:03] <ktosia> how to set messages lang to be nglish
[13:04] <ikonia> ktosia: what are you doing ??? your changing the question ever 2 minutes
[13:04] <ktosia> ikonia: trying to set language to english so I can paste U messages you can read easly
[13:04] <ikonia> ktosia: just paste the messages
[13:04] <ktosia> ikonia:   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48538/
[13:05] <Hagg1> ikonia: the howto is working and I've allready booted the modified sqquashfs a couple of times, but when I tried to install nfs-kernel-server inside the chroot I can't unmount /proc and when I make the "filesystem.squashfs"-file it won't boot with a couple of /proc-related errors
[13:07] <dnkk> can any1 help me with install Atheros AR5007EG wifi  driver in Ubuntu ?
[13:07] <mike> anyone clued up on running a 3g based gateway??
[13:07] <ikonia> Hagg1: you won't be able to unmount /proc while there are kernel processes using it
[13:07] <fyrestrtr> mike: 1. make sure the pcmcia card is supported and you are able to connect to it from the gateway pc. 2. install a ethernet card on the gateway pc 3. install shorewall 4. configure shorewall 5. (optional) install dhcp + dns on the gateway server
[13:07] <wols_>  ktosia export LANG=C
[13:07] <wols_> then run whatever you need to run
[13:07] <mike> shot dude
[13:07] <j__> hi
[13:08] <j__> does so know what is the ubuntu gutsy chess player?
[13:08] <wols_> mike: what does "gateway" mean?
[13:08] <j__> i would like to install it on debian
[13:08] <fyrestrtr> mike: I share a 3.5G net from my laptop across three machine :)
[13:08]  * ktosia murders stupid mysql with a killall
[13:08] <j__> but i don't know the gui
[13:08] <wols_> mike: 3. install ipmasq and dnsmasq 4. done
[13:08] <j__> i'm sure so can check ;)
[13:08] <b166er> Hey all
[13:08] <ktosia> VICTORY
[13:08] <fyrestrtr> wols_: cheater :)
[13:09] <daleinchicago> good morning.  where would be the best place to find some modem help with Gutsy?  please be patient, I'm a one handed typist.  thanks
[13:09] <ktosia> after killall mysqld I was able to kick stupid mysql outta system!
[13:09] <wols_> it's not cheating, it's common sense
[13:09] <mike> i have vodacom 3g in pcmcia adaptor in old PIII 800 - i want this set as gateway - doable?
[13:09]  * ktosia dances on mysql grave
[13:09] <Hagg1> ikonia: that's true, that's why I get "Device busy" when I try to unmount it, but how do I install the nfs-kernel-server inside the chroot without involving  /proc (not autostart the service after install)?
[13:09] <wols_> mike: depends on the 3G adapter
[13:09] <fyrestrtr> mike: can you connect to the interner from the box?
[13:09] <b166er> black screen when just starting the installation from cd. suggestions ?
[13:09] <j__> N.O. can help?
[13:09] <mike> Hauwuei E620
[13:09] <fyrestrtr> daleinchicago: have you checked if the device is in the HCL?
[13:10] <fyrestrtr> b166er: use alternate installer
[13:10] <wols_> daleinchicago: what kind of modem is it? how is it connected to your PC?
[13:10] <mike> the windows PC is the gateway now - need to make the Ubuntu machine the gateway...
[13:10] <b166er> fyrestrtr: you sure ? meaning ... how is it different ?
[13:10] <fyrestrtr> mike: use the vodafone linux drivers.
[13:10] <fyrestrtr> b166er: no black screen :)
[13:10] <wols_> b166er: no GUI
[13:10] <gvsa123> does the synchronize with servers in the system clock really work?
[13:10] <b166er> fyrestrtr: heh ) n1
[13:10] <b166er> wols_: thx
[13:10] <mike> aha - they must be oin the disk, didn't think that through
[13:11] <wols_> h
[13:11] <fyrestrtr> mike: they are not.
[13:11] <wols_> gvsa123: if you run ntp or ntpdate, it does
[13:11] <fyrestrtr> mike: I use the E220 :)
[13:11] <j__> noone knows the name of the chess player installed on gutsy?
[13:11] <mike> ouch - internet?
[13:11] <daleinchicago> fyrestrtr: it's a standard (lucent) modem according to the scanmodem tool.  i tried the martian driver as well with no luck.
[13:11] <fyrestrtr> mike: yes.
[13:11] <Slart> gvsa123: it does on my machine.. but I think I've added some servers of my own
[13:11] <mike> I'll try setting it up using e220
[13:11] <fyrestrtr> daleinchicago: what release are you running?
[13:11] <gvsa123> wols_: i run that on the terminal?
[13:11] <wols_> daleinchicago: define "standard"
[13:11] <mike> thanks for the direction dude
[13:11] <wols_> gvsa123: ntp is daemon, ntpdate a program for the terminal
[13:12] <Slart> j__: I think it's gnu chess or eboard
[13:12] <gvsa123> Slart: it's off my 3 minutes and it never got synchronized
[13:12] <j__> merci
[13:12] <j__> checking
[13:12] <wols_> gvsa123: ntpdate pool.ntp.org
[13:12] <daleinchicago> fyrestrt:  7.10, wols: Agere chipset.  it's in an everex box (dumped gOS off of it)
[13:12] <fyrestrtr> mike: https://forge.vodafonebetavine.net/frs/?group_id=12&release_id=11 <-- drivers for your E220
[13:12] <amitprakash> why doesnt ubuntu put ~/bin/ in my path??
[13:13] <fyrestrtr> daleinchicago: the restricted drivers manager should have picked it up if its supported.
[13:13] <gvsa123> wols_: 17 Dec 21:09:38 ntpdate[6674]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting
[13:13] <wols_> daleinchicago: you ran gOS on your modem? 1337!
[13:13] <bpssoft> Hello, I've a question about the setup of Ubuntu Server 6.06.1
[13:13] <fyrestrtr> amitprakash: ~/bin is not a standard linux path.
[13:13] <Slart> amitprakash: I don't think there is a ~/bin by default
[13:13] <pgdx> Hello. How can I change keymap to that of nb_NO ? I didn't do it in the install, and the folder /usr/share/keymaps is empty which means that I don't know how to find the correct keymap file. I want to use it with the loadkeys program
[13:14] <wols_> gvsa123: when you ran the ntpdate command I gave you?
[13:14] <bpssoft> My setup hangs on Vaildating dpkg
[13:14] <amitprakash> Slart, fyrestrtr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal states wrongly then >_<
[13:14] <bpssoft> How i can fix it?
[13:14] <wols_> pgdx: install locales
[13:14] <pgdx> wols_: thx
[13:14] <gvsa123> wols_: yeah... plus sudo
[13:14] <wols_> pgdx: ah, loadkeys. that's a bit different
[13:14] <daleinchicago> fyrestrtr:  that's what i thought, the scan tool identifies it just fine.  strange , eh?  maybe i should try an external foe S & Gs
[13:15] <Slart> amitprakash: hmm.. let me try
[13:15] <wols_> UB`: /usr/share/keymaps/ shouldn't be empty. it's part of console-tools-data  or such. you can check yia packages.ubuntu.com
[13:15] <RoAkSoAx> amitprakash, i think you will have to do something like... im not sure export $PATH:/home/$USER/bin
[13:15] <amitprakash> Slart, :)
[13:15] <Ximal> is there a dvd suite that allows you to setup folders etc ? like a dvd maker suite that let's u setup visual menu's for linux ? or err ubuntu ? that i can use on add/remove to grab ?
[13:15] <UB`> wols_ ?
[13:15] <amitprakash> RoAkSoAx, well i was just checking if an ubuntu site was giving the correct info
[13:15] <fyrestrtr> RoAkSoAx: close :) export PATH = /home/bin/:$PATH
[13:16] <b166er> Ximal: doubt it
[13:16] <wols_> gvsa123: running "ntpdate pool.ntp.org"? if so, use netstat if anything listens on the ntp port
[13:16] <pgdx> UB` that was to me
[13:16] <daleinchicago> bbl after trying another card....  Thanks Fyrestrtr & wols!
[13:16] <UB`> oh ok
[13:16] <Ximal> there's no visual studio ? for dvd making ?
[13:16] <Slart> amitprakash: nope..didn't put it in the path for me either
[13:16] <amitprakash> :)
[13:16] <wols_> Ximal: visual studio doesn't ever make DVDs
[13:17] <fyrestrtr> Ximal: you want to make dvd or dvd menus?
[13:17] <Hagg1> ikonia: that's true, that's why I get "Device busy" when I try to unmount it, but how do I install the nfs-kernel-server inside the chroot without involving  /proc (not autostart the service after install)?
[13:17] <Ximal> well i want to put a huge amount of mp3's on a dvd ..
[13:17] <Ximal> but i wanna make a visual menu for the dvd to use to decide which mp3 folder to play
[13:17] <Ximal> they're studies i've read and then recorded onto my pc
[13:18] <b166er> Ximal: your dvd player (the box itself) can browse folders
[13:18] <tchoul> slt
[13:18] <tchoul> salut
[13:18] <Ximal> i mean b166er : a dvd player for the tv :)
[13:18] <tchoul> y a klkun
[13:18] <gvsa123> wols_: by the output of ntpdate i assume the ports it was referring to were 6673 and 6674, but none of those appeared in netstat
[13:19] <gvsa123> wols_: oh wait... that was the i-node i was lookng at
[13:19] <bpssoft> How i can fix that my ubuntu server installaer hang on vailidating dpkg?
[13:19] <wols_> gvsa123: what makes you think those ports are related to NTP?
[13:20] <gvsa123> wols_: i dunno actually... lol.. because of this: 17 Dec 21:09:38 ntpdate[6674]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting?
[13:20] <gvsa123> wols_: :)
[13:20] <Hagg1> gvsa123: NTP-port is 123 (mostly UDP-traffic)
[13:20] <wols_> gvsa123: that's no inode either
[13:20] <wols_> it's a PID
[13:21] <gvsa123> :((
[13:21] <wols_> and that output you pasted isn't from ntpdate either
[13:21] <fyrestrtr> bpssoft: what is the exact message.
[13:21] <wols_> it's a log entry
[13:21] <girolamo> /echo ciao
[13:21] <gvsa123> Hagg1: so i do netstat on the terminal and look for anything with 123?
[13:21] <girolamo> !italiano
[13:21] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[13:22] <Hagg1> gvsa123: What are you trying to do?
[13:22] <me4u> hello
[13:22] <gvsa123> Hagg1: i'm trying to make my clock sychronize with the servers...
[13:23] <me4u> wonder if somebody could help
[13:23] <crush_groove> just ask your question me4u
[13:23] <wols_> me4u: wonder if you can state your problem?
[13:23] <me4u> I'm trying to playvarious videos but
[13:23] <wols_> gvsa123: so what IS the output of the command I told you?
[13:23] <me4u> hear sound but video won't play
[13:24] <Hattori> in fstab i wrote: "//<IP_ADDRESS>/Temp /home/xxx/Desktop/Shared/Temp smbfs username=xxx,password=yyy 0 0", and on boot /home/xxx/Desktop/Shared/Temp is empty. if i write sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx //<IP_ADDRESS>/Temp /home/xxx/Desktop/Shared/Temp" it works, i can access the windows shared dir from  /home/xxx/Desktop/Shared/Temp dir. what's wrong with fstab file?
[13:24] <gvsa123> wols_: Hagg1: oh there you go... in network tools, netstat, active network services, there are connections to port/service 123
[13:24] <Hagg1> gvsa123: ohh.. the same problem as I have :P My clock goes one hour wrong and I'm using the correct timezone and ntpd to sync
[13:24]  * wols_ gives up on gvsa123
[13:24] <crush_groove> chuckles
[13:24] <wols_> me4u: what format on this video?
[13:24] <me4u> tried playing mpg
[13:24] <gvsa123> gvsa123 adjusts the clock manually... lol
[13:24] <me4u> and wmv
[13:25] <wols_> Hattori: have yiou tried the "auto" yet?
[13:25] <wols_> me4u: what videoplayer?
[13:25] <me4u> movie player
[13:25] <Hattori> auto is default, doc says
[13:25] <wols_> !info movie player
[13:25] <ubotu> Package movie does not exist in gutsy
[13:25] <gvsa123> wols_: the command was ntpdate pool.ntp.org?
[13:25] <wols_> me4u: see what ubotu said?
[13:25] <monkeyBox> Is there a command that will strip the first "x" lines and the last "y" lines from stdin?
[13:26] <wols_> monkeyBox: head/tail respectively
[13:26] <me4u> yes not sure what that means
[13:26] <me4u> new to ubuntu
[13:26]  * Hagg1 feeling alone with his nfsd-problem again :(
[13:26] <fyrestrtr> monkeyBox: sed if you need more tuning.
[13:26] <wols_> me4u: it means there is no such thing as "movie player"
[13:26] <monkeyBox> wols_,   head/tail only outputs the first/last x lines.   I need to cut out the first/last x lines.
[13:26] <fyrestrtr> me4u: means you need to type sudo apt-get install mplayer
[13:27] <fyrestrtr> monkeyBox: you want sed
[13:27] <me4u> I believe that's what I meant then
[13:27] <me4u> mplayer
[13:27] <me4u> mplayer=moivieplayer?
[13:27] <crush_groove> !info mplayer
[13:27] <ubotu> mplayer: The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu13.1 (gutsy), package size 3775 kB, installed size 9428 kB
[13:28] <wols_> me4u: mplayer should play mpeg1 just fine. wmv you need w32codecs
[13:28] <Pici> me4u: 'Movie Player' on the application menu points to totem..
[13:28] <me4u> pici yes
[13:28] <crush_groove> Pici .. whats "points to totem" mean ?
[13:28] <amitprakash> Slart, i demand that the wiki be edited :D
[13:28] <me4u> ok thx dudes
[13:28] <wols_> crush_groove: it means under the label "movie player" there is the application totem normally
[13:28] <me4u> lemme install mplayer then
[13:28] <Ximal> crush_groove : get vlc from add/remove
[13:28] <Pici> crush_groove: I mean that the 'shortcut' on the Application menu points to toem.
[13:28] <Ximal> it works on just about all of my files ;)
[13:28] <Hagg1> Does anyone know how to install a package without autostarting th service?
[13:28] <Legendario> hi
[13:29] <crush_groove>  so mplayer isnt the app .. its a standin name .. the app is "totem'?
[13:29] <wols_> Hagg1: sure, remove the symlink that starts it
[13:29] <Slart> amitprakash: go again.. demand all you want.. =)
[13:29] <Legendario> does anyone know how to remove a note from openoffice writer?
[13:29] <wols_> crush_groove: mplayer and totem are different things and noth time it's the name for it
[13:29] <firekool> Hi I am trying to get my surround sound to work I just got a soundblaster audigy SE. Runing xfce and I followed this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=425098 to try to get it to work but it still won't
[13:29] <Ximal> hagg1 : whatever you download .. once the thing is installed .. you just need to do < sudo servicename stop >
[13:29] <Ximal> if you don't want it running..
[13:30] <wols_> Ximal: after the next bootup it will run again
[13:30] <Hagg1> wols_: But the symlink is created just before apt-get starts the newly installed service
[13:30] <Ximal> i know wols..
[13:30] <Legendario> does anyone know how to remove a note from openoffice writer?
[13:30] <Ximal> i just told him how to stop it..
[13:30] <crush_groove> ty wols Ximal  and Pici
[13:30] <Ximal> not how to keep it from working
[13:30] <wols_> Hagg1: then you need to compile the package yourself and change its postinst script...
[13:31] <gvsa123> Legendario: F5 then you should be able to see it there and delete it...
[13:31] <Hagg1> wols_: "# apt-get install nfs-kernel-server" and just after the installation is complete apt-get start the service
[13:31] <wols_> Hagg1: or check if apt/dpkg have an option for not doing postinst (you can always redo postinst later with dpkg-reconfigure)
[13:31] <wols_> Hagg1: and this is bad how?
[13:32] <girolamo> !italinao
[13:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about italinao - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[13:32] <girolamo> !italiano
[13:32] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[13:32] <Legendario> gvsa123 thanks a lot dude
[13:32] <gvsa123> Legendario: :)
[13:33] <Hagg1> wols_: nfd lock up my /proc and I can unmount /proc after the installation (and I have tried to stop the service manually before unmounting but without luck)
[13:33] <Legendario> gvsa123 it would be nice if we could just right click on it and choose delete, no?
[13:34] <wols_> Hagg1: locks up what?
[13:34] <Hagg1> wols_: #umount /proc" returns "Device busy" after the nfsd-installation
[13:34] <dadehoog> greetings
[13:34] <gavin> Hi everyone, Where can I get Vdrift for ubunut 7.04
[13:34] <Hagg1> wols_: Inside a chroot
[13:35] <gvsa123> Legendario: i think they have great plans for improving this.. but the target milestone is for 3.0. right now, you can delete it like any other character... i always place my notes at the end of a line... so hitting 'end' takes me to the space after the note and i can backspace to delete it like any other character
[13:35] <monkeyBox> Ok, I figured out how to delete the first N lines using sed:   sed '1,Nd',   but what about the last N lines?
[13:36] <Legendario> gvsa123 i couldn't delete it this way.
[13:36] <GSF1200S_> post it up capricori
[13:36] <capricori> GSF1200S_: hey :) so, you think ssh could kill X?
[13:36] <wols_> Hagg1: and why can't you stop nfs? also it will always need the /proc so why unmount  it?
[13:36] <Legendario> gvsa123 it was like the note were invisible...
[13:36] <nwonknu-> Hi
[13:36] <monkeyBox> I guess I could just pipe through sed '$d' twice, but seems a bit messy :-p
[13:37] <GSF1200S_> i dont have enough experience with ssh to answer that.. list your problem here, and see what they say
[13:37] <gvsa123> Legendario: oh... don't know about that... maybe you're not getting it's position right... but it should be deleted like a character... oh well.. just stick with F5 thingy then.. :)
[13:37] <capricori> kk. anyone got any idea why kubuntu would log out randomly?
[13:37] <Manolo8> hi to all. No audio while playing videos on Youtube. Any suggestion? Thanks.
[13:38] <dadehoog> capicori: sorry, ssh killing X ? or just ending a session ? XDCMP ..?
[13:38] <gvsa123> Manolo8: do you have flash installed?
[13:38] <Manolo8> gvsa123 yes
[13:38] <Legendario> gvsa123 this really worked so.
[13:38] <gvsa123> Manolo8: yeah i thought so coz you only mentioned audio
[13:38] <Hagg1> wols_: I can stop the servie and the stop-script retuns "[ OK ]" but /proc is still busy. I have to unmount /proc to be able to compile the squashfs-filesystem xcorrectly, as far as I know (it hangs on boot with /proc/nfsd-related problems
[13:39] <capricori> dadehoog: X keeps crashing, but I've noticed that it tends to happen while I'm using Amarok over ssh. Kinda new so you might have to speak slowly :) XDCMP?
[13:39] <GSF1200S_> hehe, since its kubuntu, it prolly should be the #kubuntu channel..
[13:39] <GSF1200S_> arggh...
[13:39] <capricori> GSF1200S_: hehe, musical channels :)
[13:39] <wols_> Hagg1: so what keeps /proc alive?
[13:39] <wols_> Hagg1: is your NFS kernel stuff a module?
[13:40] <Manolo8> gvsa123 that's the point... I also tried to install the alternative plugin GNASH but no way
[13:40] <dadehoog> capricori: when you say "crash", what exactly do you mean ? does the whole thing freeze and you have to reboot, or does X restart randomly and ask you to log in again ?
[13:40] <firekool> Hi I am trying to get my surround sound to work I just got a soundblaster audigy SE. Runing xfce and I followed this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=425098 to try to get it to work but it still won't
[13:40] <nwonknu-> you tell me
[13:40] <gvsa123> Manolo8: i really have no idea then ... sorry.. but your audio works with other stuff?
[13:40] <capricori> dadehoog: screen blanks out for a second, then I'm back at kdm
[13:41] <Hagg1> wols_: I don't know, I only executed "# apt-get install nfs-kernel-server" inside the chroot and after that /proc is busy
[13:41] <wols_> Hagg1: then check. and that package is no kernel module
[13:41] <dadehoog> capricori: Is there anything of interest appearing in System->Administration->System Log ?
[13:41] <Hagg1> wols_: Ubuntu Gutsy 64bit
[13:41] <wols_> Hagg1: that's not what I asked. I wouldjn't know how ubuntu compiles its kernel
[13:41] <Manolo8> gvsa123: works perfectly playing mp3, actually I suppose I get that flash problem after installing gstream-tools and executing a couple of commands following a tutorial
[13:42] <Hagg1> wols_: how do I check that?
[13:42] <capricori> dadehoog: I'm using KDE, don't have that :) been through some logs earlier and corrected a couple of things, still happening tho
[13:42] <wols_> Hagg1: by checking the kernel config file in /boot/
[13:42] <dadehoog> capricori: what about the X log ..?
[13:43] <ElementalBelief> sup guys/gals
[13:44] <wols_> capricori: check your xsession-errors file
[13:44] <capricori> dadehoog: couldn't honestly tell ya. someone else took a look earlier and found something relating to a TV, which I don't have connected
[13:44] <dadehoog> capicori: yeah, that's likely from the default configuration file ...
[13:44] <Hagg1> wols_: which file? /boot/config-2.6.22-14-generic ?
[13:45] <ElementalBelief> is anyone having problems reading blank CD-Rs? I am going insane trying to figure out why after the last update in feisty and now in gutsy my drive isn't finding blank cd-rs but it finds blank dvds just fine
[13:45] <dadehoog> locate xsession-errors
[13:45] <dadehoog> whoops, wrong window ...
[13:45] <wols_> Hagg1: yes
[13:46] <capricori> wols_: theres nothing that sticks out to me, but then, I don't get most of it anyways
[13:46] <QuintinRSA> Uh, graphics card related help pls?
[13:47] <Hagg1> wols_: what än I looking for inside that file? I found "CONFIG_NFSD=m"
[13:47] <wols_> QuintinRSA: uh, proper problem description pls?
[13:47] <savvas00> QuintinRSA, what do you mean? just ask the question, someone will be able to answer it :)
[13:47] <QuintinRSA> Thanks, just wanted to get someones attention
[13:47] <wols_> Hagg1: sounds great. now check if the nfs server is laoded (lsmod)
[13:47] <QuintinRSA> I have an ATI Radeon Mobility M6LY... which driver?
[13:48] <savvas00> QuintinRSA, from the menu you should try System > administration > restricted drivers manager
[13:48] <Hagg1> wols_: # lsmod
[13:48] <Hagg1> Opening /proc/modules: No such file or directory
[13:48] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: savvas00 is right, but try the open source "radeon" driver first ...
[13:48] <savvas00> oh i forgot about that :)
[13:49] <QuintinRSA> was on the ATI website no joy... Restricted drivers manager maintains I am fine, yet no OpenGL support
[13:49] <wols_> Hagg1: not in the chroot, duh!
[13:49] <wols_> QuintinRSA: radeon driver. everything below r300 isn't supprted by fgrlx
[13:49] <QuintinRSA> fgrlx?
[13:49] <syntaxineer> would anyone take a gamble at trying to get ubuntu to run on a PII 400Mhz ?
[13:49] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: the ATI-provided drivers
[13:49] <syntaxineer> 512MB ram
[13:50] <LjL> syntaxineer: no gamble... it would run.
[13:50] <QuintinRSA> ah thanks
[13:50] <wols_> QuintinRSA: irrelevant for you since it won't work with that chip
[13:50] <syntaxineer> nice
[13:50] <dadehoog> syntaxineer: it'll run, but not quite like greased lightning ... I've run it quite comfortably on a Duron 700, and currently have it running on a PIII-500
[13:50] <LjL> syntaxineer: quite, *quite* slowly will it run. but the 512MB will probably make it relatively usable
[13:50] <wols_> syntaxineer: fine. sometimes programs can react a bit sluggish but it will mostly run fine (just line firefox would on the same windows machine)
[13:50] <QuintinRSA> I get Compiz and Beryl to work nicely though, but as soon as I run a game it goes choppy
[13:50] <Hagg1> wols_: # lsmod | grep nfs
[13:50] <Hagg1> nfs                   272728  1
[13:50] <Hagg1> lockd                  76336  2 nfs
[13:50] <Hagg1> sunrpc                198536  3 nfs,lockd
[13:51] <QuintinRSA> never did under my old XP, but I re-installed XP and had same prob, reckoned it was drivers, but cannot find a driver
[13:51] <savvas00> !paste | Hagg1
[13:51] <Manolo8> hi to all. No audio while playing videos on Youtube. Ubuntu/Firefox. Any suggestion? Thanks.
[13:51] <ubotu> Hagg1: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[13:51] <wols_> Hagg1: check what uses the /proc in your chroot and stop it
[13:51] <ScorpFromHell> Manolo8, did you upgrade to Flash 9?
[13:51] <LjL> Manolo8: all i know is it isn't the first complain about no audio in Flash i've heard these days
[13:52] <ScorpFromHell> LjL, I had the same issue, but its gone since I upgraded to Flash 9
[13:52] <Hagg1> wols_: how do I chaeck that?
[13:52] <wols_> Hagg1: with lsof or fuser
[13:53] <Manolo8> ScorpFromHell: installed flash-nonfree from synaptic
[13:53] <wols_> Manolo8: start the browser from a terminal and check if it outputs any errors whil trying a youtube video
[13:53] <piovisqui> how can i rename a network interface????
[13:54] <Hagg1> wols_: lsof | grep nfs
[13:54] <Hagg1> rpc.statd 4426      statd  cwd       DIR                8,1     4096     131422 /var/lib/nfs
[13:54] <Manolo8> wols_ no errors
[13:54] <dadehoog> piovisqui: you mean from eth0 to something else ?
[13:54] <ScorpFromHell> Manolo8, try installing it from the binaries in macromedia site.
[13:54] <piovisqui> dadehoog yes
[13:54] <wols_> Hagg1: it's not locking var but /proc
[13:54] <Hagg1> wols_: but that is outside the root
[13:54] <|mo|> hello
[13:54] <wols_> and it might not be something to do with nfs directly
[13:54] <|mo|> :D
[13:54] <Hagg1> *chroot
[13:54] <piovisqui> [dadehoog]: yes
[13:54] <|mo|> I have a bit of a delima on my hands
[13:55] <dadehoog> piovisqui: you can't ... but it might be possible to setup an alias for the interface - why ?
[13:55] <|mo|> I have been trying to install ubuntu due to Windows crap failure ...
[13:55] <|mo|> that was for the past 30 hours
[13:55] <wols_> piovisqui: ifrename
[13:55] <|mo|> :D
[13:55] <wols_> dadehoog: you can. via udev
[13:55] <|mo|> the reason is NTFS
[13:55] <piovisqui> dadehoog: truly my problem is the interface loopback. ifconfig shows eth2 as loopback
[13:55] <dadehoog> wols_: indeed ! I am showing my age ! :P
[13:55] <|mo|> chkdsk /R /P'd it all night long
[13:56] <Hagg1> wols_: now I don't understand.. :S
[13:56] <|mo|> I cant install
[13:56] <|mo|> it would just say missing sectors off ntfs
[13:56] <|mo|> and run chkdsk
[13:56] <wols_> |mo|: that's fine but your windows troubles are not our ocncern. what is, however is your enter key misuse
[13:56] <hunteke> lols @ wols_
[13:57] <|mo|> Im not addressing windows problems
[13:57] <hunteke> :-)
[13:57] <gvsa123> lol
[13:57] <|mo|> im in linux now , but it wont understalll , my problem is not concerning windows ..
[13:57] <wols_> |mo|: all you talked was ntfs. so what IS your ubuntu problem?
[13:58] <|mo|> Im trying to install ubuntu on that ntfs partition
[13:58] <Hagg1> wols_: what does /var have to do with /proc ?
[13:58] <syntaxineer> so what would be an ideal CPU speed && Ram need to be for Ubuntu to be a test PHP server?
[13:58] <wols_> Hagg1: nothing?
[13:58] <dadehoog> syntaxineer: it's the pretty face that uses the big resources - I run a small Cyrix 200 machine as a PHP test server ...
[13:59] <|mo|> was there another method of repairing the partition ? or do you recommend formatting ?
[13:59] <wols_> syntaxineer: 2 terahertz at least and you don't need any ram cause everything needs to fit in L1 cache
[13:59] <Filled-void> |mo|, I dont think you can install on ntfs but I might be wrong ive never tried :x
[13:59] <wols_> |mo|: ntfs partition?
[13:59] <|mo|> yes
[13:59] <syntaxineer> dadehoog: wow cyrix. wow
[13:59] <firekool> can somone help me get my surround sound to work I have been searching and trying multiple fixes but none of them seam to work
[13:59] <Hagg1> wols_: so how do I check what is usinf /proc inside my chroot?
[13:59] <wols_> |mo|: ask ##windows not us.I told you again and again
[13:59] <syntaxineer> wols_: are u joking
[13:59] <Hagg1> *using
[13:59] <|mo|> I was trying to get the free space off it
[13:59] <firekool> or is there a surround sound card that will just work
[13:59] <|mo|> and starting ext3 and swap partition
[13:59] <QuintinRSA> uh, dumb question, where whould I find those open source radeon drivers?
[14:00]  * QuintinRSA frantically googles...
[14:00] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: good question ! they should already be installed, they're part of the X server
[14:00] <LjL> QuintinRSA: they're installed by default afaik
[14:00] <wols_> |mo|: and ntfsresize wouldn't work? do you know the harddisk is known good? e.g. no bad sectors?
[14:00] <dadehoog> lol wols_
[14:00] <wols_> QuintinRSA: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg
[14:00] <QuintinRSA> ah, then those are the ones I have... sigh... will have to go without opengl then...
[14:01] <|mo|> wols , doesnt seem like it at all , I booted dos and chkdsk'd all night
[14:01] <wols_> QuintinRSA: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:01] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: chances are your X server is using the "ati" (ie. no opengl) driver
[14:01] <|mo|> it shouldnt be any bad sectors left , it seems like it repaired it
[14:01] <wols_> |mo|: run a smartmontools long test
[14:01] <|mo|> I did the repairs about 5 times
[14:01] <firekool> can somone Please help me get my surround sound to work
[14:01] <QuintinRSA> wols_... reminds me, I tried that and now whenever Compiz is running my mouse wont work... right click zooms the desktop and left click takes a screenshot...
[14:01] <wols_> |mo|: when you run chkdsk now, does it still repair?
[14:02] <|mo|> yeah . it takes the same time as usual
[14:02] <wols_> QuintinRSA: tried _what_?
[14:02] <uncommon> hi.. anyone knows a good password .rar cracker for linux?
[14:02] <PriceChild> uncommon, ask whoever made the .rar
[14:02] <|mo|> "chkdsk /R"
[14:02] <Tyczek> Had anyone that problem? (ATI drivers)... Mplayer: XV(full screen- there is problem like no available rendering, so movie looks really bad). GL- it looks good but is skipping and slowing according to audio?
[14:02] <dmg46664> Is there a graphical client for mounting samba shares... I don't want to have to type anything like 'mount -t smbfs ...'
[14:02] <Tyczek> I really need solution ;/
[14:02] <QuintinRSA> wols-: uh...sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg
[14:02] <hunteke> hey, would this be the room to ask a few questions about upstart and Ubuntu, or would that be another room?
[14:02] <wols_> |mo|: answer my question please
[14:02] <ianthemoxious> hey everybody, new to linux and have a question.  I am having alot of trouble with flash on the net.  I installed the "non-free" adobe plugin for firefox and no luck getting it to work
[14:02] <dadehoog> dmg46664: Nautilus (the file manager) handles smb shares ...
[14:03] <wols_> QuintinRSA: that doesn't change mouse actions...
[14:03] <|mo|> I did wols
[14:03] <Dimatter> is it possible to change the keyboard layout while inside the text based installer ?
[14:03] <wols_> |mo|: no you did not
[14:03] <|mo|> it seemed like it repaired it every time
[14:03] <PriceChild> ianthemoxious, I think its currently broken atm I'm afraid, adobe updated their package... but ubuntu hasn't yet because it would break kde's browser.
 : i'ts my file.. dude... i just forgot the password i made.. when I was in college
[14:03] <Tyczek> ianthemoxious, wait
[14:03] <QuintinRSA> I know, found the same problem from other guys on ubuntu forums, they fixed it by disabling desktop effects...
[14:03] <|mo|> and every time it told me to run chkdsk
[14:03] <dmg46664> dadehoog: yeah, that's fine from within nautilus but programs like vlc can't then see the share which is an url which only nautilus understands e.g. smb://etc
[14:03] <PriceChild> uncommon, of course
[14:03] <BixBox> is beryl = compiz?
[14:03] <Tyczek> !flash
[14:03] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[14:04]  * Hagg1 don't like nfs anymore :(
[14:04] <Dimatter> is it possible to change the keyboard layout while inside the alternate-cd menu-like installer ?
[14:04] <firekool> can someone please help me get surround sound to work
[14:04] <wols_> |mo|: as long as chkdsk repairs something when its run there are still errors
[14:04] <bingk> BixBox:no
[14:04] <wols_> |mo|: there are no errors when chkdsk runs through without any repair/error/etc
[14:04] <savvas00> BixBox, compiz-fusion is included in ubuntu 7.10, beryl and compiz combined
[14:04] <dmg46664> dadehoog: so it actally does have to be mounted locally
[14:04] <me4u> wols I installed mplayer and now I'm getting a buffer error like mplayer app is starting multiple times at oince
 : dude i have rar password cracker but only for windows i was only lookin' for linux version...
[14:04] <|mo|> not really ,everytime is pretty much abit quicker
[14:04] <me4u> strill no video
[14:05] <|mo|> do you think i should chkdsk  it for another 5 times ?
[14:05] <PriceChild> uncommon, good for you.
[14:05] <pagenoare> hi
[14:05] <ianthemoxious> oh yeah.. I should mention that I am running 64-bit with the flash problem..
[14:05] <me4u> 'hello
[14:05] <pagenoare> anybody use epiphany?
[14:05] <Hagg1> BixBox: Beryl = CompizFusion, Compis is an old project, so as Beryl..they merged togeher and is now known as CompisFusion
 : do you think u can help by not being sarcastic or cynical?
[14:05] <dadehoog> dmg46664: there are samba GUIs ... but I'm a bit behind the play on that one ...
[14:05] <frojnd> how can I rename more than one file extension? rename *.asp *.html  ??? like this?
[14:05] <savvas00> uncommon, try learn bash scripting or use wine :)
[14:05] <BixBox> oic
[14:05] <|mo|> or was there a utility in ubuntu that can do more sector repairs ?
[14:05] <ScorpFromHell> am not able to connect through xdmcp from Windows using XMing, have enabled XDMCP in gdm.conf
[14:05] <wols_> |mo|: as I said before: this is not ##windows
[14:05] <mame> hello! I am using a laptop with a built in mic and well while the sound has always worked flawlessly I cant seem to get the mic to work. Any ideas?
[14:06] <BixBox> then can I use beryl themes, emerald?
[14:06] <|mo|> for gods sake , its not windows !!!!
[14:06] <Tyczek> ianthemoxious, http://wklej.org/id/6fb36e8d45
[14:06] <wols_> |mo|: I told you before what to do in ubuntu. take it or leave it
[14:06] <QuintinRSA> dadehoog: yep it is the "ati" driver
[14:06] <Tyczek> make those instructtnsio
[14:06] <|mo|> thanks wols ....
[14:06] <ijn> hi all:)
[14:06] <uncommon> savvas00 : i have wine though.. but i was just wondering if there any linux version...
[14:06] <ianthemoxious> thanks!
[14:06] <Filled-void> mame, Try alsamixer and check for anything muted
[14:06] <Tyczek> I had problem few minutes ago... i done it xD
[14:06] <wols_> |mo|: ntfs is very much a windows problem. all ubuntu can do is read and hopefully write it without breaking it
[14:06] <me4u> wols any other ideas on playing video?
[14:06] <firekool> Can somone please help me I can't seam to get my surround sound to work the instructions at http://www.halfgaar.net/surround-sound-in-linux tell me to edit /etc/asound.conf: but it is not there
[14:06] <pagenoare> anybody use epiphany?
[14:06] <uncommon> great community... with some stupid answer
[14:06] <ijn> in ubuntu where I can tell the sys not to load this module:pcspkr
[14:07] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.dadehoog && gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:07] <wols_> me4u: why owuld it say you run it sevreal times if you don't actually do it. makes no sense
[14:07] <crush_groove> |mo| it sounds like you have done all the "checking" you need to. reformat the partiton and try reinstall.
[14:07] <|mo|> wols , I was not trying to install on NTFS , i was taking the free space off that parttion and make it a swap and a ext3
[14:07] <savvas00> ianthemoxious, you can't install there are some flash hints for 64-bit, I used the nspluginwrapper to get it working - the only thing left is a java plugin for mozilla firefox :P
[14:07] <wols_> me4u: what is the actual error message and what did you do to get it?
[14:07] <|mo|> so , Im never installing windows , never will again , and it doesnt boot on my pc
[14:07] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: scroll down to the "Driver" line and change it to read "radeon" instead of "ati"
[14:07] <mame> filled-void: I am installing that now and trying it out.
[14:07] <wols_> |mo|: so delete the partition and install ubuntu
[14:08] <savvas00> uncommon, I'm not aware of one, sorry
[14:08] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: then you'll need to save the file, exit gedit, and restart X. Simply logging in and logging out should do it.
[14:08] <crush_groove> |mo|,  what he said
[14:08] <dmg46664> Anyone know of any good samba mounting guis?
[14:08] <Filled-void> ianthemoxious, I run 64 bit and my flash works fine (at least the sites I use works) by installing flashplugin-nonfre
[14:08] <Dimatter> How to change the keyboard layout inside the alternatecd menu installer ? or what happens if i skip the new user creation ?
[14:08] <|mo|> thanks guys
[14:08] <mame> How can you tell what sound system your comp uses? I mean there is like OSS and ALSA and others right?
[14:08] <ijn> how can cancel this module (pcspkr) from being loaded
[14:08] <erUSUL> dadehoog: ati is a dummy driver that will load radeon for the hardware radeon supports and the old r128 for older cards (man ati) no need to change ati to radeon
[14:08] <Filled-void> mame, You can check the volumen control also and make sure you can see all channels by going into the Edit menu
[14:08] <dadehoog> Dimatter: if you skip the new user creation, you won't be able to log in once the system is installed until you've created a user.
[14:08] <wols_> Dimatter: you should be able to with loadkeys
[14:09] <erUSUL> ijn: blacklist it /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[14:09] <Filled-void> mame, System > Preferences >Sound
[14:09] <wols_> Dimatter: and without a user you will have a damn hard time logging in when you boot up
 : next time dude if you don't know the answer.. better shut your mouth... asshole
[14:09] <Dimatter> wols_: is there a default root password ? what's loadkeys ?
[14:09] <ijn> it means to add# before
[14:09] <ijn> ?
[14:09] <QuintinRSA> dadehoog: hokay, did that... brb... *crosses thumbs*
[14:09] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: do you want the recovery command ..?
[14:09] <dadehoog> doh.
[14:09] <mame> Filled-Void: When I am under the System > Preferences >Sound area there is 4 "TEST" buttons
[14:09] <PriceChild> !guidelines | uncommon
[14:10] <ubotu> uncommon: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[14:10] <wols_> loadkeys is a command. and on ubuntu there is no password for root so no one can log in as root
[14:10] <Dimatter> wols_: i selected english as main layout and russian phonetic for secondary ... the whole install i used russian-phonetic as main layout ... but now i cant create a user because it cant switch the damn layout :)
[14:10] <mame> Filled-Void all work find but the sound capture one.
[14:10] <Filled-void> mame, gstreamer error?
[14:10] <frojnd> mv *.asp *.htm   I'm trying to rename *.asp to *.html and than I get message: mv: end,*.html` not a directory ...
[14:10] <Tyczek> I've proble with mplayer with flgrx and video output ;/
[14:10] <crush_groove> good bot command to know PriceChild
[14:10] <wols_> Dimatter: what do you mean with "layout". you only have one keyboardmapping, not secondaries. keymapping is no locale
[14:10] <Filled-void> mame, I just got a power outage so dont be amazed if I log out :x
[14:11] <mame> filled-void: Right now its this error gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Resource busy or not available.
[14:11] <Dimatter> wols_: well , mapping then ...
[14:11] <mame> filled-void: Earlier it was I think something else
[14:11] <Filled-void> mame, yeah I have that too but my mic works now
[14:11] <Dimatter> wols_:  nevermind ... gonna reinstall :(
[14:11] <Filled-void> mame, Onboard relatek or intel HDA?
[14:11] <Slart> frojnd: are you sure mv accepts wild-cards in both source and destination?
[14:12] <swisgard> is the freeglut3-dev package all i need for opengl development?
[14:12] <mame> Hmm I think reltek filled-void
[14:12] <frojnd> Slart, don't know..
[14:12] <frojnd> Slart, any other suggestions to rename files with wildcards ?
[14:12] <mame> filled-void: When I try to open the basic "Audio-Capture" Utility it says to check my sound settings
[14:13] <Filled-void> mame, I had the same problem with ALC662 chipset. www.filledvoid.com check multimedia issues read the references and the other threads before trying anythign in it
[14:13] <Filled-void> mame, ups dead brb
[14:13] <Slart> frojnd: I'd do something like this "for a in $(ls *.asp); do mv $a $a.html; done" it will turn mypage.asp into mypage.asp.html... you can probably tweak that into what you want
[14:13] <liquidfiree> yay i solved my first problem, by myself o/
[14:13] <liquidfiree> or well my first solvable problem
[14:13] <liquidfiree> makes sense doesn't it :P
[14:13] <Slart> frojnd: and there are applications available for doing renames
[14:14] <Slart> frojnd: gwenrename is one
[14:14] <Slart> !info gwenrename
[14:14] <ubotu> gwenrename: Batch renamer tool for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1~beta1-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 111 kB, installed size 548 kB
[14:14] <crush_groove>  does each piece of hardware have its own chipset or is the chipset in the processor?
[14:15] <x9x> hello. ubuntu on my other computer have locked up or something.... I can move the mouse, but nothing happens when I click on anything. what shall I do?
[14:15] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: any joy ?
[14:15] <x9x> ctrl-alt-delete don't do anything either
[14:16] <QuintinRSA> Dadehoog: Nope... I enabled "Desktop Effects" and my mouse wont work... had to boot into KDE
[14:16] <Sisco> help me test my telnet/raw server please #sisco (much appreciated)
[14:16] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: right ... so it loaded fine - until "Desktop Effects" ?
[14:17] <QuintinRSA> dadehoog: yep...I had that problem ever since I ran DPKG Reconfigure X... right mouse zoomed in, left mouse takes screenshot
[14:17] <QuintinRSA> but without Desktop Effects everything was fine...
[14:18] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: was OpenGL support working ?

[14:18] <sdakak> i am trying to connect a nokia 2630 to my system via a usb cable. now i need to know on which usb port it runs? how do i find the devices running on each usb port?
[14:18] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: eg. glxgears ?
[14:18] <QuintinRSA> Dadehoog: Uh... nope... I have a game I test it with and it did not even go in... which it did before...
[14:19] <simplyubuntu> hello all
[14:19] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: bummer. Well, to revert back to the old driver ... just run: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.dadehoog //etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:19] <QuintinRSA> dadehoog: but no worries, seems I might need to re-install in order to fix everything... am still learning (after a year(!)) anyhow
[14:20] <simplyubuntu> can anyone tell me how to view active print jobs in gutsy
[14:20] <QuintinRSA> dadehoog: thanks a stack anyways...
[14:20] <dadehoog> err, lose a "/" before "/etc"
[14:20] <dadehoog> QuintinRSA: no worries - I think the issues are unrelated though
[14:20] <QuintinRSA> dadehoog: haha I see that
[14:20] <sdakak> simplyubuntu: lpq
[14:20] <QuintinRSA> dadehoog: Yep.. cyal8r
[14:20] <dadehoog> cheers
[14:20] <sdakak> how to find which devices run on which ports?
[14:21] <simplyubuntu> sdakak, lpq?
[14:21] <sdakak> simplyubuntu: put that in the terminal
[14:21] <wols_> sdakak: nestat
[14:21] <simplyubuntu> sdakak it says no destination available
[14:22] <sdakak> simplyubuntu: maybe you didnt setup the printer in the first place
[14:22] <simplyubuntu> sdakak i just want to view active print jobs and/or cancel them
[14:22] <erUSUL> sdakak: you question does not make much sense... what are you trying to do with the cell phone? use it as modem?
[14:22] <simplyubuntu> oh trust me its set up. it doesnt stop printing
[14:22] <simplyubuntu> !
[14:23] <sdakak> erUSUL: whatever is possible. i mainly need to browse, use phonebook, transfer pictures, sms, call
[14:23] <ijn> hi all
[14:23] <sdakak> erUSUL: a rush through the package manager told me 'wammu' could do that. so i installed it
[14:24] <Slart> simplyubuntu: I thought you got a small icon in the task tray thingy when you were printing.. I might be wrong though.. can't you open the printer in System, administraion, printing?

[14:26] <ijn> without asking
[14:26] <Slart> Dark1: that's normal.. ati drivers can be weird =)
[14:26] <erUSUL> sdakak: i asked becouswe cell phones (at least mine) when plugged as modems show up as /dev/ttyUSB0 (or ACM0) and when plugged in storage mode they show the memmory card... never tried to manage address book from ubuntu
[14:26] <Jack_Sparrow> ijn: check the bios for power button options
[14:26] <dadehoog> Dark1: "retarded"? I'd say that ATI's driver support (if you mean fglrx) is odd.
[14:26] <Dark1> I was hoping I was retarted... I love my ati card :(
[14:27] <ijn> Jack:how can I do that??

[14:27] <simplyubuntu> thanks Slart ill go to the other account and see if i can cancel from there.
[14:27] <Jack_Sparrow> ijn: when you power up... usually hit the delete or escape keys
[14:27] <ijn> Jcak can you guide me???
[14:27] <Jack_Sparrow> ijn: no.. you are on your own...
[14:27] <Slart> simplyubuntu: do that
[14:28] <ijn> oh you mean bios pc
[14:28] <ijn> yeah I know but what I can do in there?
[14:28] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[14:28] <sdakak> erUSUL: how should i find out on which usb port the phone is running
[14:28] <ijn> I think is more some twaeking in file sys of ubuntu?? no.
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> ijn: If the power button is set to "Turn off NOW" that is what cutting the power will do.
[14:29] <erUSUL> sdakak: 'sudo tail -f /var/log/messages' on a terminal and then plugg the phone on the usb port
[14:29] <ijn> yes for now
[14:29] <erUSUL> sdakak: whatch the messages printed on the log for clues
[14:30] <ijn> is there any way to set it to ask before taking any action
[14:30] <Jack_Sparrow> ijn: Since you wont listen... NO
[14:30] <ijn> I'd like to have the window with options
[14:31] <sdakak> erUSUL: it says ttyUSB0, but when i key that in in 'wammu' it says no phone detected
[14:31] <kane77> how can I "detach" process from terminal? because every time i run process in terminal and even if I put it to background when I close the terminal it terminates the program I ran...
[14:31] <ijn> ok so you are saying that button is set up in bios??
[14:31] <ijn> im in dual boot with xp
[14:31] <ijn> so ??
[14:31] <Slart> kane77: run it with alt-f2 instead
[14:32] <ijn> can't go very time in bios and change the action of power button
[14:32] <kane77> Slart, but is it possible to detach it?
[14:32] <erUSUL> sdakak: i've never used wammu so i can not help you further
[14:32] <Slart> kane77: there is probably a more geeky way of doing it on the command line.. but I don't know it..  =)
[14:32] <ijn> ok JACK thanks anyway
[14:33] <erUSUL> kane77: man nohup or use screen and dettach the screen session
[14:33] <RdWings19> is linux-wlan-ng included on the regular live CD?
[14:33] <crush_groove> kane77,  session/newshell will show you the detach option in dropdown . you have to have 2 running to detach 1

[14:36] <Pici> Chris_Were: This is the Ubuntu support channel, not the Mint support channel. You'll have to look for their channel for support.
[14:36] <kane77> erUSUL, and one more question, how can I have program running without it's output outputing into terminal?
[14:36] <Slart> Chris_Were: This is the ubuntu support channel... I think most people here run .. ubuntu. don't linux Mint have their own support?
[14:36] <Chris_Were> there's no-one on the mint support channel
[14:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Chris_Were: there are similarities with Ubuntu and mint.. is the question general then ask it
[14:36] <Pici> !offtopic
[14:36] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[14:36] <erUSUL> kane77: redirect output to /dev/null for example
[14:36] <Chris_Were> the questions about the mint update feature
[14:36] <Slart> kane77: I would say either redirect output to dev/null or run it using alt-f2.. again =)

[14:41] <ubotu> threefcata: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw  或者 #ubuntu-hk
[14:41] <k3ito> does the keyring manager use gnupg?  and if not why not?  i see gnupg is already installed on my feisty system as default
[14:42] <threefcata> oh sorry thought i was on that channel
[14:42] <Slart> kane77: found another way.. sudo -b runs stuff in the background.. so if I run "sudo -u slart -b gedit" I can close the terminal and gedit will still be running..
[14:43] <kane77> Slart, cool, that's exactly what I want.. thank you
[14:43] <Slart> kane77: you're welcome
[14:43] <Dr_willis> Slart,  when closing the terminal also. using the 'exit' command and NOT just hitting the X button.  is a good idea
[14:44] <Dr_willis> I think the X button sends some sort of signal. exit lets the other apps spawn to the background nicely.
[14:44] <Slart> Dr_willis: oh.. what would be the difference? the X just kills the process?
[14:44] <Slart> ah.. ok.. good to know
[14:44] <Dr_willis> Try it and see. :)
[14:44] <Dr_willis> I just rember this from using Linux for the last few years.
[14:45] <Dr_willis> wonder how nohup relates to this also.
[14:45] <Dr_willis> well bbl.
[14:45] <Slart> wow.. typing exit lets gedit keep running.. very nice
[14:45] <Dr_willis> Yep. :)
[14:45] <Slart> nuhup just makes the process ignore signals I think
[14:45] <Dr_willis> so the moral of the story is.. if using background jobs and such - get in a habbit of using exit command.
[14:46] <Slart> kane77: you read that, right?

[14:51] <crush_groove> !modules
[14:51] <ubotu> To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard !kernel, install the relevant package, usually called "<modulename>-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates). To prevent specific modules from loading, see !blacklist

[14:52] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u »

[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> junetrinidad: That way you could select which wm you want under options where you log in

[15:21] <ktosia> Jack_Sparrow: but on this ubuntu damn mysql fails to work

[15:25] <ktosia> how can I fucking smite stupid mysql?
[15:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Koff: Look for a readme in the tar or go to the site where you got it

[15:26] <Koff> alright, thanks
[15:27] <Pici> ekimus: you might want to check out #ubuntu-doc , as this really isnt a support question.
[15:27] <jaggz-> how can I install, from a bunch of packages in a dir, only packages which already exist on the system?
[15:27] <jaggz-> like a "--update-only" or something
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> DJ-Danni: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg          select vesa mode and 1024 max res to get back into gui..  read !res to try and get your card working
[15:28] <zitsep> which is the most basic (common) command line tool for converting file with dos/win line ending to unix?
[15:28] <AJC_Z0> dos2unix
[15:28] <zitsep> AJC_Z0: it's not installed by default, i need something which works everywhere
[15:29] <Pici> zitsep: sed can do it.
[15:29] <jaggz-> ekimus:  "two", not "to", at this line:  NOTE: The to slashes at the first line of the file are importan
[15:29] <crush_groove> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   << creates a backup and replaces xconfig with default settings ?
[15:29] <PPreda> while I was updating from 7.04 to 7.10, a synaptic crashed and whole load apps altogether, from the progress bar it needed 47 more minutes to finish, I try to run again synaptic or update manager but it does not show any packages need to be installed or some, does this mean it is ok?
[15:29] <zitsep> Pici: thanks
[15:29] <nickrud> crush_groove, dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg will create the default, with a backup
[15:30] <erUSUL> Pici: sed1liners.txt to the rescue (tr can too) ;)
[15:30] <dbrewer_rjr> i set up ununtu feisty with ispconfig. what a great system. i am using spamassassin that the setup default installs. Is there any way I can give a spam report to the end-user like some of the more sophistocated services do? Anything pre-packaged?

[15:30] <komputes> Does anyone know a way to script flowcharts in Ubuntu?
[15:30] <Pici> zitsep: http://www.student.northpark.edu/pemente/sed/sed1line.txt :)
[15:31] <Jack_Sparrow> PPreda: NO it is not finished...     HAve you ever run (even if you removed it) automatix or envy scripts?
[15:31] <erUSUL> komputes: "script flowcharts" ??
[15:31] <PPreda> Jack_Sparrow: do not even know what those are
[15:31] <pike_> PPreda: try a dpkg --configure -a  perhaps
[15:31] <PPreda> pike_:  thanks will try this
[15:32] <Jack_Sparrow> PPreda: Both are really bad ideas...  no I dont know how to fix a partial upgrade.. others here might
[15:32] <AJC_Z0> zitsep: As others have said, sed can of course do the job. So can tr and various other text manipulation tools
[15:32] <Apocalypse_dn> Can i update to 7.10  from mounted .iso file?
[15:32] <c-master> hello
[15:33] <PPreda> so what is a good idea to check the system,  I was thinking for a all packages reconfigure either way to be sure
[15:33] <nickrud> Apocalypse_dn, if you have decent bandwidth, it'd be much simpler to upgrade from the net
[15:33] <PPreda> just did not know the command
[15:33] <ekimus> Apocalypse_dn: I remember there was a link on the ubuntu.com/ mainpage how to update from the alternate cd. So basically I guess yes (if you find that link again) :)
[15:33] <wirechief> PPreda: try
[15:33] <wirechief> dpkg --configure -a
[15:33] <wirechief> # apt-get install -f
[15:33] <wirechief> # apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:33] <Apocalypse_dn> nickrud, i know, i asked about upgrade without buring cd
[15:33] <MeeKs> if i format a hard drive in os x will ubuntu be able to read and write to it?
[15:33] <Jack_Sparrow> PPreda: I guess we can assume you didnt have a backup to go back and start over from where you were
[15:34] <nickrud> Apocalypse_dn, the method I mentioned is without the cd
[15:34] <Apocalypse_dn> By mounted .iso file
[15:34] <pike_> PPreda: id just do all. i really think synaptic should maybe touch a file before it starts a distupgrade and then check for that file if it doesnt remove it after a successful one but... maybe they have reasons for not doing that
[15:34] <erUSUL> Apocalypse_dn: i think that it should work. run the script from the mounted alternate cd iso
[15:34] <Pici> Apocalypse_dn: You can only upgrade if you have the alternate cd mounted, not the regular Desktop CD.
[15:34] <nickrud> Apocalypse_dn, no problem, just wasn't sure if you had considered it
[15:34] <PPreda> wirechief: this sounds even better, thanks for all the advices
[15:34] <Apocalypse_dn> Ok, thanks
[15:35] <Apocalypse_dn> If my system will crash - you are innocent :-D
[15:35] <crush_groove> touch = checks ?
[15:35] <dbrewer_rjr> i set up ubuntu feisty with ispconfig. what a great system! i am using spamassassin that the setup default installs. Is there any way I can give a spam report to the end-user like some of the more sophistocated services do, like mxlogic? Anything pre-packaged?
[15:35] <Jack_Sparrow> wirechief: I made not of that...  thanks..

[15:46] <NightOath> Is there anything in the default configuration for lighttpd that would need to be changed to make it work outside a LAN? ive forwarded port 80 to the right box...
[15:46] <creepindacellar> !run
[15:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about run - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[15:46] <pike_> creepindacellar: youll notice if you open a terminal and ls -l on the left are some properties of each of the files like rwx-----  or whatever you can add the x or executable bit to a file by either doing something like 'chmod +x file.run' or within your file manager right click on it and in properties make it executable
[15:47] <Lorvija> Hiya, how do i check the "real" memory usage in command line? I've understood that the memory usage "top" command shows contains some buffers etc..?
[15:47] <pike_> creepindacellar: then to run it either ./file.run in terminal or doubleclick it
[15:48] <miked> Lorvija: run free
[15:48] <erUSUL> Lorvija: knownig the exact memory usage of a program on linux is not a trivial problem. top gives an aproximate number in rss columm iirc
[15:49] <digitalspaghetti> Does anyone know a gui or command line app that can convert a directory of HTML to PDF?
[15:49] <Lorvija> miked okay thanks (:
[15:49] <PPreda> sudo dpkg --configure -a; sudo apt-get install -f; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, do not complain, does this mean it is ok?
[15:49] <alexbOrsova> I'm having problems with my installing ubuntu on my laptop, I get a blank screen and I've narrowed the problem down to my xorg.conf file. Has this happened to anyone else?
[15:49] <wirechief> digitalspaghetti: try printing it to a pdf filetype
[15:50] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: do you get to a cli  command line interface ?
[15:50] <Bubulle> digitalspaghetti, html2pdf
[15:50] <alexbOrsova> i can if I boot into recovery mode
[15:50] <digitalspaghetti> wirechief, yes i can do that, but i have to do that once for every page and then combine it
[15:50] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[15:51] <digitalspaghetti> i have a statically layed out site in HTML i want to convert
[15:51] <alexbOrsova> i can even start x from the cli, but it doesn't work with the default option in grub
[15:51] <alexbOrsova> and I've tried that but I don't know most of those options it asks me for
[15:51] <digitalspaghetti> Bubulle, i looked for that, there is only a php script for it :/  and lots of online services
[15:52] <dogdog> #ubuntu.it
[15:52] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: I've also tried installing xubuntu and it worked fine with my display
[15:52] <alexbOrsova> but I had other problems with that install which is why I've switched over to ubuntu
[15:52] <TopoMorto> coluld someone tell me how i can make gvim darkblue color-scheme the default setting?
[15:52] <Bubulle> digitalspaghetti, xhtml2ps
[15:52] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: So you can get to recovery mode and startx and get in... have youtried selecting vesa mode and 1024 max when you reconfigure?
[15:53] <creepindacellar> gotcha properties works thanks
[15:53] <alexbOrsova> yes, but I have to guess on the other options because I don't know what I'm doing...
[15:53] <alexbOrsova> which is why that doesn't work (it asks for things like PCI bus and so on)
[15:53] <PPreda> goodbye all and thank you very much
[15:54] <Greg> hi i have a problem
[15:54] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: USe the pastebin to post your xorg then post the link to it in here..
[15:54] <alexbOrsova> where is the pastebin again?
[15:54] <Jack_Sparrow> !paste
[15:54] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[15:54] <pike_> alexbOrsova: for most of that stuff you can just enter through for default settings you technically only need to choose the driver
[15:55] <pike_> alexbOrsova: of course you can lspci -v to get the bus if you want
[15:55] <alexbOrsova> i didn't know that...
[15:55] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: Accepting the defaults works for most situations
[15:56] <alexbOrsova> when I startx there's an icon for restricted drivers, should I try that?
[15:56] <fizzle> alexanderwz sure
[15:56] <fizzle> what kind of card?
[15:57] <alexbOrsova> nvidia 6150 go (i think)
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: 6600 here..
[15:57] <fizzle> lspci | grep nvidia
[15:57] <fizzle> err
[15:57] <Marfi> whenever i do some updates, apt-get wants me to put in the ubuntu disk...how do i disable this?
[15:57] <fizzle> lspci | grep NVidia
[15:57] <alexbOrsova> one sec
[15:57] <KyleS-work> go to "software sources"
[15:57] <Marfi> is it something in sources.lst?
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Marfi: disable the cd in your sources.list
[15:57] <KyleS-work> under applications I think
[15:57] <fizzle> Marfi i dont use ubuntu, but you need to change your sources
[15:57] <KyleS-work> or
[15:58] <KyleS-work> vim /etc/apt/source.lst
[15:58] <KyleS-work> or vi or nano

[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[15:59] <staticfish> do I stick with the default slower graphics driver, but have all visual effects working, thought crap fonts, OR do i install FGLRX and install the XSERVER-XGL package and have it take an age to show the desktop at bootup

[16:00] <fizzle> alexbOrsova for your nvidia driver, i think you need to install ythe restricted drivers
[16:00] <fizzle> i dont use ubuntu strictly because i couldnt get my nvidia drivers working because im too damned lazy to learn how
[16:00] <fizzle> :)
[16:00] <staticfish> thanks jack_sparrow, are there any tips out there to get fglrx working really nicely?
[16:00] <alexbOrsova> the thing is, when I had xubuntu working, i did that and thn I ran into the same problem
[16:01] <alexbOrsova> *then
[16:01] <pike_> lewis: alot of times itll just work. it depends on the wireless card

[16:09] <PJC> hi guys, i need a little help with install Ubuntu Gutsy on a Presario r3000 amd laptop, after initial loading screens the display goes black and fails to show anything, but the system loads as normal, this is via the live-cd
[16:09] <PJC> I'm guessing its driver problem with the Geforce go chipset
[16:09] <alexbOrsova> PJC: have you tried the vga=771 boot option
[16:10] <alexbOrsova> it helped me when using xubuntu live cd
[16:10] <PJC> no alexbOrsova, how would I go about that, is it via the boot menu
[16:10] <css> Jack_Sparrow: I want to install irda-utils with apt-get from konsole on any mirror the file is giving at unpaking an 127 eror I have tried to force install and nothing same trouble
[16:10] <alexbOrsova> PJC: i think I may have the same problem, what model card do you have?
[16:10] <PJC> thats the thing, kubuntu loads and installs fine via the kubuntu live-cd
[16:10] <hardeep> hello all
[16:11] <Jack_Sparrow> css: That did not answer my question but thanks..
[16:11] <alexbOrsova> PJC: select 'Start or Install" and press F6, then delete the 'splash --' and type 'vga=771' then press enter
[16:11] <hardeep> is there any reason that when I edit motd file, it reverts to old version upon restart of the machine
[16:11] <mattwalston> how come firefox does nut detect my plugin on ubuntu only?  I have not had this problem on other distros
[16:11] <alexbOrsova> in the live cd menu
[16:11] <tarjei_> Can anyone help me with setting up  my MX518 mouse? I can't understand the forum help, this is so frustrating I must use XP instead of Ubuntu now.
[16:11] <Marfi> mattwalston, what plugin?
[16:11] <PJC> ok, I'll give it a go alexbOrsova , brb :)
[16:12] <mattwalston> Marfi: npica.so it is the citrix client
[16:12] <alexbOrsova> how come I can do startx from the cli and x works, but when I load the default option in grub I get a blank screen?
[16:12] <mattwalston> Marfi: should be able to just copy to firefox/plugin?
[16:12] <betim--> any ideas how to limit download in apt?
[16:13] <Marfi> mattwalston, i think there is somethign that has to be changed in order for the plugin to work. i tried doing that with the flash plugin (since theres a problem with the repos) but didn't work. if it comes as a .tar.gz, it should have an install script that came with hit. =)

[16:15] <maxsoft> hi all. some one from USA ?
[16:15] <graabein> hello, where do i find installed icons on the file system?
[16:15] <kevinl> when I connect my ipod, I want gtkpod to launch, not rythymbox, hwo to change please?
[16:15] <maxsoft> :) I like to know wich filesharing software do you usually use.
[16:15] <PJC> alexbOrsova: I see, well I'm trying it now, in the process of booting
[16:15] <kevinl> graabein, they are generally under /usr/share .. in icons or pixmaps directory, though some apps make their own directories
[16:16] <Jack_Sparrow> tarjei_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=65471&highlight=mx518
[16:16] <graabein> kevinl: it looks pretty empty to me... i'm on gutsy
[16:16] <kevinl> graabein, you can use: sudo updatedb; slocate '.xpm'  for example
[16:16] <kevinl> to find .xpm icons on your hard drive
[16:16] <graabein> kevinl: btw have you looked at system > preferred applications for audio player?
[16:16] <kevinl> or .ico instead of .xpm .. or whatever the file ext you look for.
[16:17] <frojnd> would anyone know, where to set bluefish, so utf-8 encodig will be supported ?
[16:17] <frojnd> od does anyone know any GUI html editors ?
[16:17] <kevinl> my preferred apps thing on feisty only has browser, terminal etc.. nothing for media or ipods :)
[16:17] <mattwalston> fronjnd: gvim
[16:18] <PJC> alexbOrsova: I get a split second display of the background and then, black, any other suggestions?
[16:18] <tyczek> Wrrr... Installed Ati drivers from site... than made aticonfig --initial... I opened movie in mplayer (XV- it looks really bad) i added video overlay, but nothing helped. On gl movie looks good, but is skipping and audio goes fastar than video. It's my xorg http://wklej.org/id/81d4a0fa7c  and this how movie looks on Full screen (crappy) http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/4887/zrzutekranurw3.png
[16:18] <alexbOrsova> i guess that doesn't work for you
[16:18] <mattwalston> frojnd: be careful what you ask for... not all gui is wysiwyg
[16:18] <jaggz-> I broke my python:   python2.4-dev depends on python2.4 (= 2.4.1-0ubuntu0.2); however:
[16:18] <jaggz->   Version of python2.4 on system is 2.4.2-1ubuntu0.2.
[16:18] <alexbOrsova> what graphics card do you have?
[16:18] <kevinl> what "makes" rythymbox load when you connect an ipod? gnome-vfs ? hald? is there a configuration file for this somewhere
[16:19] <PJC> alexbOrsova: the Video Card is an NVidia GeForce4 440 Go 64 DDR
[16:19] <alexbOrsova> now my pointer isn't showing up in x

[16:19] <aximboy> firefox (and swiftfox) are freaking slow when switching tabs... what gives???
[16:19] <jaggz-> wha tdo I do to rectify my python to a working version?  :(
[16:20] <alexbOrsova> have you actually managed to install a version of ubuntu on your laptop?
[16:20] <PJC> its a couple of years old now this machine
[16:20] <PJC> not ubuntu, but kubuntu works fine
[16:20] <jaggz-> aptitude now wants to remove a ton of packages, being unused because python2.4 is dead.
[16:20] <alexbOrsova> is that installed on it right now?
[16:20] <Pici> jaggz-: How did you manage to do that?
[16:20] <graabein> kevinl: i found the icons, they're in ~/.icons :-)
[16:20] <kevinl> oh yes, they can be there too :0
[16:20] <compwiz18> !enter | jaggz-
[16:20] <ubotu> jaggz-: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[16:20] <PJC> no, i have openSuSE on it now
[16:20] <alexbOrsova> does that work?
[16:21] <aximboy> anyone know why firefox and swiftfox are incredibly slow at switching tabs
[16:21] <frojnd> mattwalston, do u know how to set encoding to utf-8 in bluefish ?
[16:21] <alexbOrsova> does your openSuSE installation work?
[16:21] <PJC> yep alexbOrsova, I'm guessing its something to do with the drivers, or lack of them, that Ubuntu gutsy ships with
[16:22] <jaggz-> pici, I was trying to install python2.4-dev but it would not go in.. then there was a version conflict.. so I had to download the package and install it by hand.. I did go to a 1ubuntu0.2 instead of 0ubuntu0.2 version.. (I didn't force or ignore anything either)
[16:22] <alexbOrsova> can you boot into it please, i want to see your xorg.conf file
[16:22] <PJC> sure, gimme two secs
[16:22] <m0pr00t> hii guyz. i need help with some broadcom drivers. if any can help me please
[16:22] <PJC> wow, hang on, I pressed the power button to force a shutdown and the desktop appeared
[16:22] <PJC> lol
[16:23] <alexbOrsova> what were you doing when you pressed the power button? (I have to try that :)
[16:23] <Pici> jaggz-: What version of Ubuntu are you running? I presume you dont have internet access on that machine?
[16:24] <PJC> when I run the install alexbOrsova, did the display right itself?  nothing lol, just pressed it to do a forced shut down, and on the first press, up pops the desktop lol
[16:24] <jaggz-> hoary access.. I have internet access
[16:24] <jaggz-> uhh.. s/access//
[16:24] <alexbOrsova> the install showed up fine for me, x server just doesn't want to work when I use the default option in grub
[16:24] <Pici> jaggz-: Hoary is no longer supported, its end of life was Oct31 2006
[16:24] <m0pr00t> congrats jaggz. i still dont have = (
[16:25] <Pici> !hoary

[16:25] <PJC> alexbOrsova:  ok, I'll go for the install, don't you leave, just incase :D
[16:25] <mattwalston> frojnd: not sure... you may be able to set it in prefs or find a template file somewhere
[16:25] <alexbOrsova> oh, ill be here
[16:25] <jaggz-> yeah.. this is from an install over 2 years ago
[16:25] <alexbOrsova> im just waiting a few more minutes to reask my question

[16:27] <alexbOrsova> does anyone know how to go about fixing a blank screen on a laptop (ubuntu 7.10 fresh install, nvidia GeForce 6150 Go graphics card)?
[16:27] <Pici> jaggz-: Can you not find the older version of python-dev to install?
[16:27] <tyczek> Can anybody help me with mplayer and ATi fglrx ?
[16:27] <PJC> alexbOrsova: have you tried the vga=771 option? :P
[16:28] <alexbOrsova> the install works with or without it, but it doesn't help when I add it to the grub boot options
[16:28] <Koff> is there anything similar to the task manager in ubuntu? seems i got a few programs running wich i cant see and therefore cant close
[16:29] <alexbOrsova> btw, what are you trying to install? Ubuntu?
[16:29] <PJC> me?
[16:29] <pike_> Koff: yes its in the menu i dont know what the gnome app is though you can also use top command in terminal
[16:29] <alexbOrsova> does anyone know if x loads the 'xorg.conf' file when you run the startx command?
[16:29] <alexbOrsova> yes, you (PJC)

[16:31] <PJC> no alexbOrsova, but like I say, Kubuntu ran fine

[16:32] <scout_> hey y'aææ
[16:32] <staticfish> do you know the repo package to install that enables all of the compilation libraries. i have make working, but ./configure doesn't
[16:32] <alexbOrsova> huh, Xubuntu ran ok for me but I ran into the same problem when I installed the restricted drivers. Now ubuntu doesn't even work with the open source drivers
[16:32] <scout_> y'all*
[16:32] <bazhang> hi scout_
[16:32] <pike_> staticfish: build-essential
[16:32] <aximboy> i think my problem bazhang, is that bluetooth-applet will not run
[16:32] <scout_> is there a way for me, in a bash script of something, to start programs in a specific workspace
[16:32] <PJC> alexbOrsova: its a strange beast eh?

[16:33] <jaggz-> pici, no.. it's not here...
[16:33] <alexbOrsova> laptop + linux = hours of fun :)
[16:33] <bazhang> aximboy: did you check that howto?
[16:33] <staticfish> cheers guys
[16:33] <pike_> staticfish: well.. i mean youi need to grad the appropriate dev package too and i dont know if there is a metapackage for all those
[16:33] <scout_> Pici, that doesn't work, i've just tried
[16:33] <jaggz-> apt-get -f install python2.4            python2.4: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.4-1) but 2.3.2.ds1-20ubuntu15 is to be installed
[16:33] <staticfish> i'm pretty sure build-essential will do it ;)
[16:33] <PJC> alexbOrsova: no doubt about that lol, anything that is soldered on = trouble
[16:33] <brobostigon> aximboy: is the gnome topbat applet turned on in the bluetooth prefs??
[16:33] <crush_groove> -f = force ?
[16:33] <scout_> Pici, i'm using compiz fusion with emerald as a window decorator, so i think that has something to with it
[16:33] <Pici> scout_: most likely.
[16:33] <jaggz-> fix-?
[16:33] <brobostigon> gnome topbar
[16:34] <alexbOrsova> well, at least linux recognizes my built-in webcam. Now i have o work on getting it to work with my hard disk and laptop screen :)
[16:34] <alexbOrsova> *to
[16:34] <aximboy> yeah, i checked "always display icon"
[16:34] <aximboy> but it won't show up
[16:34] <Pici> jaggz-: I'm surprised you can even do any apt functions.  They usually take the repositories offline after EOL.
[16:34] <PJC> lol, mine works well on the asus eee too, with kubuntu
[16:34] <scout_> so my question is if i could create a script that i could run, most likely a .sh script, that specified where the programs start
[16:34] <Pici> scout_: you might be able to find some help in #compiz-fusion for this.
[16:35] <scout_> isn't there a bash command for such things ?
[16:35] <alexbOrsova> you're using the asus eee pc?
[16:35] <frojnd> would anyone know where can I set encoding in gedit ??
[16:35] <scout_> Pici, yeah you might be right :) i'll check it out :)
[16:35] <PJC> no, not now, but i have one
[16:35] <alexbOrsova> i considered buying that...
[16:35] <PJC> its a great little bit of kit
[16:35] <Silvister> in giving ssh accounts to my pc users...how to restrict access to one directory and give installing rights (with protecting the file system)
[16:35] <alexbOrsova> but I went with the $1000 hp pavilion entertainment pc
[16:35] <pike_> scout_: chdir maybe?
[16:35] <bazhang> alexbOrsova: join #eeepc :}
[16:36] <PJC> gamer alexbOrsova?
[16:36] <alexbOrsova> no, hacker...
[16:36] <PJC> lol
[16:36] <alexbOrsova> just kidding :)
[16:36] <jaggz-> pici, I updated my sources to use (just the first part of) http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python2.4/
[16:36] <scout_> pike_, doesn't that just change the directory in the commandline like cd ?
[16:36] <alexbOrsova> I am a gamer, but I wanted a tablet pc to do my programming on...
[16:37] <PJC> makes sense
[16:37] <SpookyET> How do you get compiz fusion to work with AIGLX and ATI? It does work with XGL.
[16:37] <alexbOrsova> they should have had a warning sticker on it: "Doesn't mix with Ubuntu"
[16:37] <pike_> Silvister: http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted_ssh_howto_debian  <-- if thats what youre looking for
[16:37] <frojnd> would anyone know where can I set encoding in gedit ?? I really need to set encoding..
[16:37] <VSpike> Pici, i saw that mentioned and assumed it was meant to be a torrent search because it never returns anything
[16:37] <brendonhatcher> can someone help me with upgrading to 7.10?
[16:37] <PJC> lol, being so hardware fixed, the eee has plenty of support and guides on installation of ubuntu etc
[16:37] <alexbOrsova> If i can't get Ubuntu to work, I'm stuck with vista
[16:38] <bazhang> brendonhatcher: by the net or fresh install?
[16:38] <alexbOrsova> which will be even more fun
[16:38] <bazhang> alexbOrsova: stick with us then :}
[16:38] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: It works, with vesa..
[16:38] <pike_> scout_: no chdir means change working directory
[16:38] <PJC>  I have a dual boot of Vista on this pc, but never bothered to fix grub to pick it up lol
[16:38] <alexbOrsova> you're not helping bazhang
[16:38] <aximboy> anyone know how to deal with missing bluetooth icons on the top bar? and i'm missing the spotlight type icon
[16:38] <alexbOrsova> Jack: what does?
[16:38] <brendonhatcher> bazhang - I installed 7.04, and am now trying to do the server-based update
[16:39] <pike_> scout_: but its different than cd /newdir/  then run i guess
[16:39] <Silvister> pike_ thx    i just wanted to see how shell provider do (for eggdrops)
[16:39] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: Your setup...   did you ever post your xorg?
[16:39] <PJC> OoOOOOooo 71%
[16:39] <alexbOrsova> dude, I had to fix grub, it mistook my recovery partition as vista :)
[16:39] <brendonhatcher> the documentation says that it will automatically prompt me for update to 7.10, but it 8isn't
[16:39] <scout_> pike_, when i look for chdir on the net it just finds the chdir that has the same functions as cd
[16:39] <PJC> lol alex
[16:39] <alexbOrsova> no, I can't figure out how. I don't have internet and can't mount my thumbdrive
[16:40] <aximboy> anyone know how to deal with missing bluetooth icons on the top bar? Also i can pair a device but my lappy won't show up when I try to send a file
[16:40] <PJC> i've always had problems with mounting thumbdrives, its one area that needs looking at in linux as a whole i think
[16:40] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: how do you mount thumbdrives?
[16:40] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: I thought you said you could get into recovery mode and startx
[16:40] <Jack_Sparrow> !mount
[16:40] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[16:40] <alexbOrsova> yes, but that doesn't mean I'm a master with 'mount'
[16:41] <alexbOrsova> oh, ok... hold on
[16:41] <alexbOrsova> i don't have GParted installed
[16:41] <brendonhatcher> bazhang - you still there?
[16:41] <bazhang> brendonhatcher: server-based update? you're using the server version?
[16:42] <alexbOrsova> should I just add an entry in my fstab file?
[16:42] <brendonhatcher> no - going to system / administration / update manager
[16:42] <PJC> no desktop lol

[16:43] <aximboy> anyone know how to deal with missing bluetooth icons on the top bar? (i have already checked the box in bluetooth preferences)
[16:43] <adelie> This may be a stupid question, but is it possible to run an LTSP Server WITHOUT DHCP? I am in a classroom with a computer that is very old and want it to be a thin client to a much more powerful machine in the room, but without the need of a second nic on the host. Is there a way to configure the clients bootloader (rather than traditional network boot) to get the image from the host?
[16:43] <alexbOrsova> what do you mean PJC?
[16:43] <PJC> sorry alex, was just a blip, ticking along smoothly again
[16:44] <alexbOrsova> damn it, why does your install work? :(
[16:44] <PJC> lol, I'll wait for the after install reboot before I say it works

[16:45] <adelie> Is it possible for an LTSP server and client be parallel on a network? (versus the client wired through the host)
[16:45] <brendonhatcher> bazhang - yes, following instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades
[16:45] <bazhang> Hippotamus: because the libdvdcss2 is not installed
[16:46] <Silvister> do i need open-ssh to let others ssh acces on my pc?

[16:50] <adelie> Anyone setup an ltsp server before?
[16:50] <ipx> adelie: cinepaint is not what im looking for, im looking for a video-editing program that can make a movie out of a bunch of pictures at a specific fps
[16:50] <jaggz-> hippo, all the richer
[16:50] <Pici> adelie: you might be able to get some help with that in #edubuntu and #ubuntu-server, cheers.
[16:50] <PJC> ok, take care alexbOrsova, I hope you get it working, but now I'm fixed I'm back to idle mode
[16:50] <SpookyET> How do you get compiz fusion to work with AIGLX and ATI? It does work with XGL.
[16:51] <Pici> SpookyET: The version of fglrx that is in the Ubuntu repositories is not compatible with AIGLX.
[16:51] <leitao> bazhang: any specific chipset?
[16:51] <adelie> Pici: thanks
[16:51] <bazhang> moproot no way to get an ethernet cable to that box?
[16:51] <adelie> ipx: isn't cinepaint a non-linear video editor?

[16:51] <bazhang> leitao 3945 works well for me--atheros are quite good generally as well
[16:51] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: it says 'special device /dev/sda4 does not exist'
[16:51] <Eyemean> progrock, in synaptic it says lame aint an mp3 encoder
[16:52] <leitao> bazhang: atheros is closed source,  isn't it?
[16:52] <alexbOrsova> and i have my thumbdrive plugged in
[16:52] <Jack_Sparrow> alexbOrsova: THen I cant help.. sorry
[16:52] <wols_> SpookyET: you can't so far. pester ati for working aiglx supporting drivers
[16:52] <bazhang> leitao: there are the madwifi drivers though :}  intel is the safest bet though

[16:53] <progrock`> anyone know how to do keyboard autodetection after install?  my ctrl key raises my volume!
[16:53] <B-rabbit> hi, shouldn't virtual box be in the "add/remove application section" i cannot find it...help plz
[16:53] <jaggz-> progrock, lol
[16:53] <ItchyHobo> VSpike, true
[16:53] <progrock`> And when i choose the corect keybaord layout in preferfences.. lol.. it does nothing
[16:54] <ItchyHobo> i have been using ubuntu for 6 months now i am thinking of switching to debian; good idea ppl?
[16:54] <brobostigon> b-rabbit: have a look for virtual box in sysnaptic
[16:54] <Jack_Sparrow> progrock`: You can manually edit your xorg
[16:54] <bazhang> B-rabbit: apt-cache search program name or related in terminal can find stuff better
[16:54] <B-rabbit> ok
[16:54] <bazhang> ItchyHobo: ask in #debian :}
[16:54] <B-rabbit> 1 sec
[16:54] <alexbOrsova> what command can I use to find PCI bus for a device?
[16:54] <progrock`> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, i was getting to that.. I forgot the keyboard layout tho.. its pretty much the most standard US layout, period

[16:55] <sinthetek> i was hoping someone could help me with my kubuntu installation to gutsy. it seemed to work ok after reboot but yesterday after a power outtage it seems udev/device mapper or whatever is having issues with my home partition
[16:55] <bazhang> that was for you alexbOrsova: lspci
[16:55] <sinthetek> although i can mount and fsck the drive fine from debian install cd in rescue mode, ubuntu continually says 'resource unavaiable' or 'partition busy or already mounted' despite contents of /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts
[16:55] <alexbOrsova> oh, thanks
[16:55] <sinthetek> since ubuntu can access / partition on same drive and debian's rescue mode fsck says partition is fine and i can mount it fine from there, it seems most likely the cause is some sort of problem in ubuntu's uuid or coldplug or udev implementation or something
[16:56] <Silvister>  can you tell me how do shell providers for eggdrops work. they give installing rights. but their file system is also protected. and they make user confined to one directory only.. how?
[16:56] <sinthetek> since ubuntu can access / partition on same drive and debian's rescue mode fsck says /home partition is fine and i can mount it fine from there, it seems most likely the cause is some sort of problem in ubuntu's uuid or coldplug or udev implementation or something

[16:58] <ubotu> josh__: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[16:58] <brobostigon> b-rabbit: i think virtual box is in sysnaptic, cant you find sysnaptic??
[16:58] <progrock`> Jack_Sparrow: thanks.. yeah.. two extra lines in there that i thought were funny... do I have to Vntrl-Alt-Backspace to reload the xorg?... or can I without closing all my gui applications?
[16:58] <VSpike> josh__, did you try ./configure
[16:58] <PJC> !patience is a virtue
[16:58] <Jack_Sparrow> progrock`: I would close them just to be sure
[16:58] <alexbOrsova> Jack_Sparrow: if I get my xorg.conf up to pastebin, will you help me?
[16:58] <PJC> oops
[16:58] <Jack_Sparrow> alexyes

[16:59] <josh__> No such file or directory
[16:59] <B-rabbit> brobostigon, i cannot find virtual box in synaptic, i found synaptic allrite....i think it is some thing to do with software source or sumpin
[17:00] <B-rabbit> brobostigon, do u use virtual box
[17:00] <B-rabbit> ?

[17:01] <fotoflo> how do i create an alias for a directory ?
[17:01] <josh__> Hrm, ./configure won' t work? :S
[17:01] <Jack_Sparrow> troubled: Ops have a way of checking them
[17:02] <fotoflo> so i can "cd logs" from anywhere and end up at /etc/httpd/logs
[17:02] <fotoflo> for example
[17:02] <ptw> jbailey: hey jeff
[17:02] <jaggz-> perhaps if I force rm python it'll re-install cleanly??
[17:02] <bazhang> k3b can do it as well from a gui Eyemean
[17:02] <Jack_Sparrow> troubled: They should also get a link or note on the problem and how to take care of it
[17:02] <troubled> Jack_Sparrow: ah. i figured they just watched and kept track of who dc's when it happens. I was just wondering why 3 people got banned for slowpokes actions thats all. seemed unrealated. thanks for fillin me in
[17:03] <Jack_Sparrow> troubled: I probably explained it badly.. but that is my understanding
[17:03] <SpookyET> Is it possible to install Ubuntu on already created LVM partitions?
[17:03] <crush_groove> jaggz why would a force removal ensure a clean re-install without knowing why it installed bad the first time ?
[17:03] <crush_groove> just asking
[17:04] <Jack_Sparrow> crush_groove: I thing he forced an upgrade and now needs to go back
[17:04] <crush_groove> ty Jack_Sparrow
[17:04] <Jack_Sparrow> think
[17:04] <jaggz-> crush, it installed bad I think because I installed a package by hand
[17:04] <crush_groove> nodz

[17:04] <josh__> but it won't le tme,

[17:04] <troubled> Jack_Sparrow: no, i think i understand now. thanks. Just always see it ban other people than the one that did the attack. always left me scratchin my head heh
[17:04] <jaggz-> it didn't install, but it kept it in its records that I tried to install a slightly newer python2.4 version
[17:05] <crush_groove> jaggz how did you see those records ?
