[01:20] <cmims6887> i'm going to try this
[01:20] <cmims6887> biab
[01:20] <liable> and gimme a url for the deb?
[01:20] <damo21> Derlandi: but u need to run fdisk first
[01:20] <HappyFool> liable: tried packages.ubuntu.com ?
[01:20] <BooZee> but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeHowto says that there problems with skype and ubuntu..
[01:20] <liable> HappyFool: yeah, only .tar.gz funnily..
[01:21] <Hoxzer> how do I configure my network in command line?
[01:21] <DerLandi> @damo21 have to? y? how?
[01:21] <BooZee> miles_: but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeHowto says that there problems with skype and ubuntu..
[01:21] <topyli> DerLandi: ok, use fdisk to delete the partitions you now have there. then make the new partitions (type vfat), then use mkfs.vfat to create the filesystems. done
[01:21] <HappyFool> liable: huh. ok, i give up
[01:21] <enoon> sn9, ah okay - i booted the recovery grub entry
[01:21] <liable> HappyFool: whats the latest version?
[01:21] <damo21> DerLandi: do u want your new partitions to be readable in windows?
[01:21] <sn9> enoon: from cd or hd?
[01:21] <Karl> I just installed ubuntu on my imac G5 and everything worked quite well until the keyboard stopped to work when X started. Any suggestions?
[01:22] <HappyFool> liable: sorry, i don't have breezy
[01:22] <liable> bugger.
[01:22] <miles_> BooZee: you won't know this for sure, if you don't try. I haven't been using skype for a long time, I don't have it installed, but it worked fine when I tested it
[01:22] <miles_> just install it and see what happens
[01:22] <DerLandi> @damo21 no! both! thats why i want to format in fat32
[01:22] <enoon> sn9, hd - i am already installing - i was just confused
[01:22] <sn9> Hoxzer: use ifconfig and route
[01:22] <damo21> ah ok... u need to follow topyli's instructions
[01:23] <DerLandi> @topyli i try! thx! but how to use fdisk!
[01:23] <Hoxzer> sn9: how
[01:23] <sn9> enoon: then just install the pkg
[01:23] <enoon> sn9, already rebooting
[01:23] <damo21> "m" for help in fdisk DerLandi

[01:23] <keyes> hello
[01:23] <Spee_Der> hello keyes
[01:23] <liable> would one of you breezy users please do apt-cache show debootstrap and tell me the version, please.
[01:23] <topyli> DerLandi: sudo fdisk /dev/sda (or whatever)
[01:24] <sn9> Hoxzer: are you trying to get a dhcp lease?
[01:24] <topyli> DerLandi: it has help there
[01:24] <Hoxzer> yes
[01:24] <Cristi4n> Hello, I have a big problem: The system will not boot anymore, and GRUB gives me ERROR 17, can you tell me what to do ? If it is possible to install GRUB again ?
[01:24] <bimberi> liable: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu1_all.deb
[01:24] <Hoxzer> I didn't do it in install
[01:24] <sn9> Hoxzer: type: dhclient
[01:24] <liable> bimberi: thank you muchly. :)
[01:24] <wickedpuppy> liable, <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:24] <wickedpuppy> oh 6 is already out
[01:24] <wickedpuppy> hmms ...
[01:24] <enoon> sn9, panic
[01:24] <bimberi> liable: yw :)
[01:24] <noodle_> how do i get rid of the ubuntu logo next to applications.. i want my foot back
[01:25] <ian> My Kernel is panicking
[01:25] <sn9> enoon: is this with the new kernel you just installed?
[01:25] <DerLandi> @topyli yes, but nothin' about delete all files! am i blind?
[01:25] <enoon> sn9, yes
[01:25] <keyes> How-to install j2re1.4 without interaction (or using a GNOME interface) for Breezy. I've make a script who use zenity (GUI) and an apt-get backend to install but it sucks because we must press "Enter" to accept the licence
[01:25] <Hoxzer> sn9: thx man
[01:25] <asraniel> hi, does someone know whats happening when i use the patch utilitiy like this: "patch -p1 ./xxxxx" and nothing happens? the app (patch)starts, but there is no console output and it never ends and does nothing
[01:25] <dreameen> how do make this sign on english keyboards |
[01:25] <ian> trying to loadlin Breezy onto a Win98 lappy that doesnt have any bootable devices
[01:25] <topyli> DerLandi: once you remove the partitions, the files have nowere to live on and will be deleted :)
[01:25] <liable> hrm, ok, i got it anyways..
[01:25] <keyes> and this screen his a ncurse screen, so it's not displayed
[01:25] <liable> wickedpuppy: thanks
[01:25] <sn9> enoon: what is the message prior to the panic?
[01:26] <damo21> DerLandi: by editing the partitions and formatting later, your files wont exist anymore
[01:26] <HappyFool> asraniel: isn't it maybe patch -p1 < xxxxx ?
[01:26] <sn9> dreameen: shift-backslash
[01:26] <odat> does anyone know how well ubuntu supports keyboards with extra buttons?
[01:26] <enoon> dump
[01:26] <enoon> call trace
[01:26] <enoon> stack
[01:26] <DerLandi> @topyli all right! i think i've done it! delete all files!
[01:26] <DerLandi> but now, how 2 format in fat32?
[01:26] <Cristi4n> I have a big problem: The system will not boot anymore, and GRUB gives me ERROR 17, can you tell me what to do ? If it is possible to install GRUB again ?
[01:26] <damo21> DerLandi: so you created 2 partitions?
[01:26] <enoon> the topmost is "EIP is at kunmap+0x14/0x25"
[01:26] <asraniel> HappyFool: wow, thanks! :-) lol, sometimes im a real newb...
[01:27] <sn9> enoon: before that
[01:27] <fforw> odat: some "multimedia" buttons are supported from the start and you can change/add them in the keyboard settings
[01:27] <enoon> it is the topmost
[01:27] <topyli> odat: some work perfectly. on my logitech media kb, not quite all of them work
[01:27] <enoon> i think i cannot scroll up
[01:27] <ethy> Hey, I just installed fglrx-control and the Qt3 lib files, but after restarting X I can't find the control panel, anybody have any ideas?
[01:27] <enoon> (usb)keyboard is dead
[01:28] <sn9> ian: you can't use loadlin under win98, afaik
[01:28] <odat> fforw, cool i am just getting some extra info we are about to launch custom built computers for UBUNTU
[01:28] <DerLandi> @damo21 no!
[01:28] <sn9> enoon: you're positive it's booting with the k7 kernel?
[01:28] <fforw> odat: in that case you should be able to setup an OEM version of ubuntu which you can the default key mappings via gconf (breezy has extra OEM support)
[01:28] <enoon> i can retry - but yes
[01:28] <topyli> DerLandi: exit fdisk (writing the changes), and use mkfs.vfat on the partitions
[01:29] <ian> sn9: hmm thats not what I've read, maybe I'm wrong
[01:29] <enoon> sn9, i double checked on boot but i check again
[01:29] <damo21> DerLandi: you are running fdisk i presume, then u need to delete all partions, and create 2 new ones in fdisk
[01:29] <sn9> ian: why not use grub?
[01:29] <odat> fforw, can i find out more about the oem version on ubuntu's site
[01:29] <ian> sn9: Don't know how...
[01:30] <sn9> ian: just boot from cd
[01:30] <natecull> yay, finally finished my upgrade to Breezy
[01:30] <ian> sn9: My lappy doesnt have any bootable drives....
[01:30] <ian> sn9: No CDROM no floopy, BIOS doesnt support PXE
[01:30] <ian> sn9: Im stumped
[01:30] <natecull> something went a little weird with my networking - it thought I wanted IPv6 for a while
[01:31] <sn9> ian: then how did you get the kernel on there?
[01:31] <enoon> sn9, reboot - loading - crashes a sec after entering runlevel2
[01:31] <ian> sn9: loadlin
[01:31] <damo21> what is xubuntu-live package for
[01:31] <natecull> question: Why can't I remove the gnome-games package?
[01:31] <damo21> will it work in ubuntu?
[01:31] <natecull> I never use any of those games and they just clutter up my menu, but it seems the ubuntu-desktop package depends on gnome-games, why?
[01:31] <ian> sn9: Kernel panick popped up during the attempted instal "unable to mount root fs..."
[01:31] <johntramp> what is HAL ?
[01:32] <sn9> ian: no, i mean with no cd drive and no floppy drive, how do you put stuff on the hd?
[01:32] <DerLandi> i am not able to! i am too stupid i think! not sure what u want from me! i dont no how to do! could please tell me the complete command? (my usb hdd devices is /dev/sdb1    actually 1 partitionen 250GB)
[01:32] <natecull> if I remove gnome-games and it uninstalls ubuntu-desktop, will I uninstall everything?
[01:32] <damo21> !info xubuntu-live
[01:32] <HappyFool> natecull: ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package; it doesn't really matter if it's uninstalled -- but reinstall it before any major upgrade
[01:32] <ubotu> xubuntu-live: (Xubuntu live system), section universe/misc, is optional. Version: 1.4 (breezy), Packaged size: 4 kB, Installed size: 32 kB
[01:32] <bina> when doing dist-upgrade should i close KDE n everything n just have terminals or does it not really matter
[01:32] <ian> sn9: Oh, lappy is on my network,
[01:32] <fforw> odat: http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/source/oem-config and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OEMInstaller might be a start
[01:32] <natecull> HappyFool: ok
[01:32] <ian> sn9: has internet connection
[01:32] <damo21> !tell me about xubuntu-live
[01:32] <HappyFool> natecull: on the other hand, is ubuntu-games really wasting that much space? i never play the games, but i just ignore them
[01:32] <sn9> ian: can you get an image of a cd onto the hd?
[01:33] <HappyFool> well, ok, i confess to playing minesweeper once or twice ;)
[01:33] <odat> fforw, thanx
[01:33] <ian> sn9: yup, got an idea?
[01:33] <sn9> ian: yes, use the "hd-media" installer initrd
[01:33] <Karl> It seems like my imac crashes right after X has started (the login screen displays properly, but I can't do anything and the systems stops to answer pings). Any idea, what might be wrong?
[01:33] <natecull> HappyFool: it clutters up my Games menu, on which I have other games I actually play.
[01:34] <HappyFool> natecull: fair enough
[01:34] <natecull> and I don't really like having a lot of packages I don't use on the menu - that's why I went with Ubuntu originally
[01:34] <ian> sn9: Ok, haven't heard about hd-media...
[01:35] <natecull> btw, I love the new 'Add Applications' program - I didn't think I'd use it as I use and like Synaptic, but it makes the options for what software is available a lot clearer
[01:35] <natecull> only, is there any way to disable all the KDE applications from showing in it?
[01:35] <ian> sn9: initrd = hd-media?
[01:35] <sn9> ian: i'm assuming you want to chuck win98 and install ubuntu
[01:35] <ian> sn9: yup
[01:35] <enoon> sn9, got it? any ideas? [crashes a second after runlevel 2 entry]
[01:36] <sn9> enoon: try single user mode
[01:36] <enoon> sn9, that is recovery boot?
[01:36] <cappiz> when i do a df -h i get the result and this line here in the middle of the output: df: `/.dev': No such file or directory
[01:36] <cappiz> why is that?
[01:36] <fforw> natecull: the new app installer is targeted at newbies which usually don't care about whether something is gnome or kde and just want a working app.
[01:36] <sn9> enoon: no
[01:36] <enoon> sn9, than how do i do that?
[01:36] <sn9> enoon: append the kernel arg "1"
[01:37] <topyli> cappiz: devices live under /dev but /dev is not a device. you must specify one
[01:37] <enoon> sn9, uhm - lineedit grub kernel - just append a 1 ??
[01:37] <sn9> ian: there's no way you can connect a floppy drive to boot from?
[01:37] <bina> !tell bina about ndiswrapper
[01:37] <cappiz> what do you mean and how do i do that?
[01:37] <natecull> oh, love Evince too
[01:37] <cappiz> topyli ?
[01:38] <sn9> enoon: yes, but you can do it from within grub; just press E
[01:38] <enoon> sn9, i am okay thanks
[01:38] <natecull> and Nautilus is a lot more usable now it lets me turn the toolbar and sidebar on and off separately, instead of having simplistic 'browse mode' vs 'spatial mode'
[01:38] <ian> sn9: It would have to be a USB floppy and I dont think we BIOS will support booting to that drive.
[01:39] <sn9> ian: no pcmcia?
[01:39] <ian> sn9: Could try - but again not sure If it would be detected during boot-up
[01:39] <enoon> sn9, up and running
[01:39] <topyli> cappiz: sorry, in fact df doesn't need you to define a device
[01:40] <ian> sn9: USB thumb stick an option?
[01:40] <cappiz> yeah thats what i thought
[01:40] <cappiz> dont understnad why i get that error
[01:40] <tck> anyone get cam support going under breexy ?
[01:40] <sn9> ian: check what your bios can boot from. what is the make and model of your lappy?
[01:40] <topyli> cappiz: are all your partitions mounted ok?
[01:41] <cappiz> yeah
[01:41] <ian> sn9: lappy is a v.old Sony  Vaio (PCG-505FX)....
[01:41] <cappiz> i get all the other info okey
[01:41] <Profeta> to install superkaramba on ubuntu, can I use apt-get ?
[01:41] <ian> sn9: booting into BIOS now to check what my options are.
[01:41] <cappiz> but i get this strange line topyli : none 5.0M 2.8M 2.3M 56% /dev
[01:41] <cappiz> unpartition spaced?
[01:42] <sn9> Profeta: try it
[01:42] <ajeet> Hello, how do I check if c++ is present on my system?
[01:42] <Profeta> hehe ok
[01:42] <HappyFool> ajeet: install 'build-essential' -- that'll give you g++, a c++ compiler
[01:42] <enoon> sn9, what now?
[01:43] <fdr> hi! I was wondering: are old bugzilla accounts automatically migrated into launchpad, or need I register again into launchpad with a new account? thank you!
[01:43] <topyli> cappiz: where do you get that? with mount?
[01:43] <ajeet> HappyFool: I just installed g++ compiler through Synaptic... I went into a terminal and typed "g++" and no version details showed?!
[01:43] <sn9> enoon: go through the /etc/rc2.d folder, starting services one at a time
[01:43] <HappyFool> ajeet: try 'g++ --version'
[01:44] <enoon> sn9, any particular order?
[01:44] <Profeta> for gnome is gdesklets, not karamba :)
[01:44] <HappyFool> ajeet: i recommend installing 'build-essential' to get additional build utilities and libraries
[01:44] <sn9> enoon: YES
[01:44] <cappiz> topyli i get that line when i do a 'df -h'
[01:44] <ajeet> HappyFool: Thanks!
[01:44] <enoon> sn9, which - sorry i never worked with that stuff
[01:44] <sn9> enoon: the order they are numbered
[01:45] <topyli> cappiz: strange. i don't see anything like that with df
[01:45] <cappiz> never had this error before
[01:45] <KraetziChriZ> hmmm hi guys
[01:45] <bigfoot1> Hi guys, I went to the menu and chose "add applications". Then, my computer froze for about 6 seconds (my mouse was movable though), and then it unfroze. But no "Add applications" window popped out. This happens with other stuff in the menu, as well. Is this a bug? How can I fix this problem?
[01:45] <KraetziChriZ> i have damn problems with hald in breezy.. everytime(!) i boot, i got hte message "failed to initialisize hal"
[01:45] <ajeet> HappyFool: It works now, thank you so much... Breezy is nearly about set up to perfection... Now to sort multimedia and everything will be great!!!
[01:45] <enoon> sn9, acpid or sysklogd first? they both got a 10
[01:46] <HappyFool> ajeet: have fun
[01:46] <jackster> where did the terminal go in Breezy?!
[01:46] <ajeet> jackster: it's in accessories
[01:46] <jackster> o, ok
[01:46] <jackster> thanks
[01:46] <enoon> sn9, what about K77 by the way
[01:47] <sn9> ian: the 505fx allowed for a pcmcia cdrom
[01:47] <sn9> enoon: a comes before s
[01:47] <sn9> enoon: K comes before S
[01:48] <ian> sn9: hmm
[01:48] <reiki> I've never used Bittorrent before and I see it's in Breezy. Does anyone have time maybe in PMs to give me a rundown on how to download the breezy install iso using bittorent? Or is this published in the wiki?
[01:48] <ian> sn9: will look into that...anyway football starting. Thanks for your help. Catch ya later
[01:48] <natecull> reiki: Do you have Hoary?
[01:48] <sn9> ian: PCGA-CD5
[01:48] <reiki> natecull I have Breezy... updated yesterday
[01:49] <damo21> is there a command to skip a package download in dpkg
[01:49] <natecull> reiki: Then if you click on the torrent file from Firefox, does it bring up gnome-torrent as a program to open it with?
[01:49] <damo21> like if a mirror is broken can u skip current file
[01:50] <Profeta> is there a howto to install nvidia on ubuntu 5.10 ?
[01:50] <topyli> anyone else lost their ttys in breezy? i get boot messages (don't have usplash) but after gdm starts, then tty 1-6 are blank
[01:50] <Hoxzer> how do I use ssh client?
[01:50] <natecull> reiki: if not, try Add Applications | Internet | More | Gnome BitTorrent
[01:50] <topyli> Hoxzer: ssh user@host
[01:50] <damo21> topyli: i got my ttys
[01:50] <ubernostrum> So I just upgraded to Breezy, and everything's working great except I'm not getting the nice graphic during the boot sequence... anyone know if there's a package I might have missed with dist-upgrade, or a setting I need to change, to enable that?
[01:50] <sn9> Profeta: linux-restricted-modules
[01:51] <thouters> hi, I'm new to ubuntu (ran gentoo for about two years) and installing 5.10 on a x86 machine and the setup aborts whilst installing the base system,  I took al ook in /target/var/log/ but there is no bootstrap.log.  where can I look for info where it went wrong?
[01:51] <enoon> sn9, S12 crashed the kernel
[01:51] <reiki> natecull it wants to use gnome-btdownload
[01:51] <natecull> reiki: cool, so let it do that
[01:51] <sn9> enoon: what was the name?
[01:51] <topyli> damo21: this is pretty annoying. ttys are darn useful things sometimes after all :(
[01:51] <natecull> reiki: you should get a very simple interface that just shows you a progress bar
[01:51] <damo21> topyli: certainly
[01:51] <reiki> natecull it says "open with" ... will I have a option to just save it to disk?
[01:52] <natecull> reiki: you don't want to save the .torrent file to disk, you want to open it with gnome-btdownload, which will use it to start the actual torrent download
[01:52] <damo21> topyli: try in a xterm: sudo getty
[01:52] <reiki> natecull ahhh... ok understood
[01:52] <Profeta> sn9, didnt understand, what is linux-restricted-modules ?
[01:52] <reiki> natecull thanks
[01:53] <Profeta> and when I try to use apt-get, I got a lock message
[01:53] <sn9> Profeta: the pkg you need to install
[01:53] <cappiz> hum
[01:53] <enoon> sn9, i forgot about it when the kernel panicked - it was: dbus
[01:53] <sn9> Profeta: "sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules"
[01:53] <cappiz> if i do a touch /.dev
[01:53] <topyli> damo21: ok, getty has a big bunch of options though, does nothing without arguments
[01:53] <enoon> S12dbus
[01:53] <cappiz> then i dont get that error
[01:53] <cappiz> but
[01:53] <cappiz> i get /dev 9.2G 2.5G 6.3G 29% /.dev
[01:54] <sn9> enoon: that is definitely a HAL thing
[01:54] <cappiz> wich is the same as /dev/hda2 9.2G 2.5G 6.3G 29% /
[01:54] <enoon> sn9, that means?
[01:54] <Profeta> sn9, where do you find what package match that thing ?
[01:54] <enoon> sn9, yes i saw "starting hardware abstraction layer" flickering by before it crashed
[01:54] <sn9> Profeta: what do you mean?
[01:55] <kbrooks> hal = hardware abstraction layer
[01:55] <Profeta> what linux-restricted-modules have to do with nvidia ?
[01:55] <damo21> topyli: sudo getty 38400 tty1 & sudo getty 38400 tty2 &sudo getty 38400 tty3 &sudo getty 38400 tty4 & sudo getty 38400 tty5 & sudo getty 38400 tty6 &
[01:55] <Profeta> its not easy to know
[01:55] <damo21> :)
[01:55] <poningru_sleep> hey guys I just burnt an install cd, but k3b crashed during the 'veryfying the written data' process
[01:55] <poningru_sleep> is there anyway to check the cd?
[01:55] <HappyFool> Profeta: linux-restricted-modules contains a kernel module for the non-free nvidia driver
[01:56] <sn9> Profeta: it may not be easy, but now you know
[01:56] <kbrooks> poningru: it crashed
[01:56] <kbrooks> as simple as that
[01:56] <lewiss> Has anyone got the Eclipse Documentation to work? When I select help it winges thats its not installed. I cant find the package for it? Can anyone help?
[01:57] <HappyFool> poningru: try mounting the cd and running the md5sum check with the md5sum.txt in the cd root
[01:57] <poningru> HappyFool: ok
[01:57] <Profeta> sn9,  do you know a howto for step-by-step ?
[01:57] <inc|freaky> does any1 know how i can change the bootsplash?
[01:57] <Profeta> inc|freaky, I want to know too
[01:57] <poningru> thats the command right 'md5sum check'
[01:57] <lewiss> inc|freaky: theres a howto on the wiki I think
[01:57] <poningru> ?
[01:57] <poningru> meh I will just man it
[01:57] <madsen> I can only do 60Hz refresh rate on my pc.. do i have to install some sort of drivers?  my gfx is ati?
[01:57] <topyli> damo21: no errors, but no visual. my monitor goes to sleep when i switch to tty2. could be a video problem
[01:57] <sn9> enoon: unfortunately, i haven't managed to sort out my own dbus problems yet
[01:58] <HappyFool> poningru: i think it's md5sum -c md5sum.txt
[01:58] <damo21> topyli: oh
[01:58] <poningru> yeah thats it thanks man
[01:58] <Karhuton> My ATI fglrx driver doesn't provide opengl acceleration in Breezy

[01:59] <fergus_mobile> morning all
[02:00] <silent_scream> morning
[02:00] <fergus_mobile> i could use some assistance with xorg configuration
[02:00] <topyli> damo21: i don't think -f is a command. :) which command did you have in mind
[02:00] <enoon> fergus_mobile, what do you need to conf?
[02:00] <damo21> ps -u root -f
[02:01] <sn9> does anybody here know about problems with the new version of apt now in breezy?
[02:01] <fergus_mobile> i am trying to add a resolution that i didn't select during install
[02:01] <topyli> damo21: oh of course!
[02:01] <damo21> lists full command string
[02:01] <fergus_mobile> but if I just add the resolution to xorg.conf, it won't show up in the gnome resolution switcher
[02:01] <Profeta> ubotu, sn9 thanks
[02:01] <ubotu> Syntax error in line 1, Profeta
[02:01] <fergus_mobile> is there something extra I need to do?
[02:01] <KeithWeisshar> is there any way to have the ubuntu cd sent from shipit to the computer user group
[02:02] <silent_scream> I want a command to be executed every time I get i ubuntu. how am i gonna do that?
[02:02] <damo21> :)
[02:02] <enoon> fergus_mobile,  id dont know about  the gui thing
[02:02] <topyli> damo21: the gettys are there. twice now of course :)
[02:02] <damo21> haha
[02:02] <sn9> Profeta: ubotu is a bot, not a person
[02:02] <KeithWeisshar> how do i get it sent to brookdale computer user group at bcug.com
[02:02] <fergus_mobile> enoon: is there another way to make the desktop select that resolution?
[02:02] <enoon> fergus_mobile, i just configure X once and dont switch res.. sry
[02:02] <topyli> damo21: i think i'll disable the famebuffer device and reboot to check if that's to blame
[02:02] <damo21> ok
[02:03] <Profeta> sn9, I know, but I like to thank him :P
[02:03] <damo21> fb smells
[02:03] <enoon> fergus_mobile, if you changed xorg.conf you have to restart the xserver
[02:03] <enoon> fergus_mobile, in order to apply the changes
[02:03] <damo21> i used to like it in gentoo though
[02:03] <ethy> I can't eject my CD ROM by hand, is there anyway I can do it in the Terminal?

[02:03] <Tatid> hi everybody, i look for help, i had a problem when my ubuntu 5.10 starts, the computer blocks when ubuntu try to execute "starting hotplug system" at start-up, i could do nothing, Ctrl C doesn't work and i'm obliged te reboot, for information i've got a laptop asus a6vc q018h, someone could help me please ?
[02:03] <topyli> damo21: i like to have the higher resolutions. this is a 19" inch monitor and the standard console fonts just scream
[02:03] <enoon> fergus_mobile, ie change to a text tty [ctrl] [alt|+ [f1]
[02:04] <damo21> yeah
[02:04] <ethy> sn9: What's the command for unmount? unmnt?
[02:04] <enoon> fergus_mobile, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:04] <damo21> how do u use vesafb-tng in ubuntu
[02:04] <sn9> ethy: umount
[02:04] <topyli> damo21: yeah, might try to achieve the resolutions with natives
[02:04] <psichron> What is the official south african ubuntu repositories URL?
[02:04] <enoon> sn9, what about bugreport? (dbus/hal kernel panic)
[02:04] <ethy> sn9: Keep saying umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy
[02:05] <damo21> can u just build the ubuntu kernel with vesafb-tng patch?
[02:05] <HappyFool> psichron: i don't think there is a za mirror
[02:05] <topyli> damo21: oh, i just put the desired resolution line in the grub menu.lst. must be enabled by default
[02:05] <damo21> oh cool :)
[02:05] <HappyFool> psichron: http://ftp.is.co.za might have a mirror of the iso's
[02:05] <psichron> HappyFool, there are
[02:05] <psichron> ftp.sun.ac.za
[02:05] <sn9> ethy: you can use lsof to see what's busy on it
[02:05] <psichron> ftp.is.co.za
[02:05] <damo21> like u can just use: .... vga=1024x768@85
[02:05] <psichron> couple more, but they are borked
[02:05] <damo21> or something
[02:05] <topyli> damo21: or whatever fb implementation they use
[02:05] <topyli> damo21: no, vga=791 will give you that
[02:05] <HappyFool> psichron: afaik za.archive.ubuntu.com maps to archive.ubuntu.com
[02:06] <damo21> oh ok cool :)
[02:06] <topyli> damo21: you have to hunt down the codes :)
[02:06] <damo21> yeah

[02:16] <enoon> fergus_mobile, has it worked??
[02:16] <kbrooks> !faq
[02:16] <ubotu> somebody said faq was The Ubuntu FAQ Guide: select System -> Help (in Breezy), or http://doc.ubuntu.com/gnome/faqi386/C/

[02:32] <ulaas> why is there a countdown on the transgaming website?
[02:32] <HappyFool> reiki: do you know what rmic is? if it's something you uninstalled, maybe just 'sudo rm /usr/share/man/man1/rmic.1.gz' will do
[02:32] <sunguy> It appears to do the same as !tell me about
[02:32] <ethy> !tell me about fglrx
[02:32] <uli> i have a problem: my cpu monitor shows only 800 mhz, although my normal speed is 1800 Mhz... :-(  anyone knows what to do?
[02:32] <ccooke> Does anyone know of anything that will, say, act as a local esd but forward everything to a remote one?
[02:33] <damo21> uli check the bios settings
[02:33] <sn9> !tell ethy about ati
[02:33] <reiki> HappyFool: I have no idea what rmic is :)  that's kinda why I was askin what to do. Think it's something that got removed in the upgrade to Breezy and not cleaned up?
[02:33] <damo21> uli, maybe your cmos got reset to crappy voltage settings
[02:33] <srid> check out - http://simility.com/ .. It's a Firefox toolbar that gives you recommendations over webpages
[02:34] <HappyFool> reiki: i don't know; i don't have anything like that on my (hoary) system
[02:34] <reiki> hmmmm
[02:34] <uli> oke, no its wrong explained: it is 800 mhz. but i dont know how to scale the cpu higher. i have an athlon an its possible to switch from 1800 to 800. but in ubuntu it always is locked on 800 Mhz
[02:34] <cappiz> what is pam login ;P ?
[02:34] <uli> what can i do to enable all these cpu-thingy
[02:34] <damo21> uli, u have to enable the overclock in the bios
[02:34] <sunshine> happyfool i think u were right but i was wrong it isnt as easy as erase what i put the file all jumble up now are u are breezy
[02:34] <damo21> then ubuntu will detect it
[02:35] <sn9> uli install powernowd
[02:35] <HappyFool> sunshine: hmm
[02:35] <HappyFool> reiki: look here http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=rmic.1.gz&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=breezy&arch=i386
[02:35] <uli> oke, powernowd... where do i get info, if it is not already installed?
[02:35] <HappyFool> sunshine: but you could at least edit the file?
[02:35] <uli> sorry, im a noobie
[02:36] <HappyFool> sunshine: are you on the livecd now?
[02:36] <sunshine> happyfool i have an idea if u are on breezy if u access your lib/lsb/init-functions and paste it i could copy it and it might just work
[02:36] <sunshine> happyfool yeah
[02:36] <sn9> uli: sudo apt-get install powernowd
[02:36] <sunshine> happyfool i'm on livecd
[02:36] <HEMEN> hey all :)
[02:36] <HappyFool> sunshine: i'm not on breezy, but maybe someone else can give you a copy

[02:37] <HEMEN> i want termial back on right click
[02:37] <sX_r00t> !tell me about ati
[02:37] <reiki> HappyFool: thanks... so it's java related somehow... I'm still not sure what to do :)
[02:37] <sunshine> happyfool go ahead
[02:37] <HappyFool> sunshine: 'mkdir /media/hdb1' and then 'mount -t ext3 -o ro /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1'
[02:37] <bluefoxicy> oh god
[02:37] <bluefoxicy> jerky mouse
[02:37] <HappyFool> reiki: i'd just remove it
[02:37] <reiki> HappyFool, ...ok :)
[02:37] <uli> you sure i must install it? if i do "locate powernowd" i get some things listed
[02:38] <sunguy> cool... running my first windows app under linux :)
[02:38] <sn9> uli: then look at the docs for it
[02:38] <bluefoxicy> sunguy:  looks like shit in wine doesn't it
[02:38] <badei> how?
[02:38] <HEMEN> anybody I wan't my right click menu to have termial on it like in hory
[02:38] <bluefoxicy> sunguy:  wait until your first configuration dialog slurs and you have all the buttons invisible :)
[02:38] <defcon8> does ubuntu have its own packages now?
[02:38] <sunguy> It looks like it should...  I'm only running winmine.exe though.
[02:39] <bluefoxicy> ah
[02:39] <bluefoxicy> I was thinking winamp
[02:39] <uli> ok
[02:39] <HEMEN> some else must be anoyed as i am
[02:39] <HappyFool> defcon8: as opposed to when?
[02:39] <damo21> why not use xmms not winamp
[02:39] <sn9> does anybody here know about problems with the new version of apt now in breezy?
[02:39] <defcon8> it used to use debians
[02:39] <badei> What software are used to play music from a playlist??????
[02:39] <sn9> defcon8: when was that?
[02:40] <thouters> does 5.10 have gnome 2.12
[02:40] <sn9> thouters: yes
[02:41] <HappyFool> defcon8: ubuntu's packages are based on debian's, but are usually (always?) distinct.
[02:41] <HappyFool> sunshine: what happened?
[02:41] <limguohong91> I get an error "Couldn't stat source package list" after i run sudo apt-get update...... what can i do now?
[02:41] <sunshine> happyfool error special device /ev/sdb1 does not exist
[02:41] <HappyFool> sunshine: /dev/sdb1
[02:42] <sunguy> I just needed wine to run notepad.exe :)
[02:42] <HappyFool> sunshine: if /dev/sdb1 doesn't exist, something is wrong
[02:42] <sn9> limguohong91: can you ping www.google.com ?
[02:42] <damo21> sunguy, install mousepad

[03:14] <sn9> limguohong91: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[03:14] <HappyFool> sunshine: if you run 'ls' now, you should see entries 'lib' and 'usr'

[03:15] <HappyFool> sunshine: and if you type ls lib/lsb you should see the 'init-functions' file
[03:15] <chris_bloke> ryanduff: no root password, use "sudo" instead

[03:15] <Vician> hi, having some probs getting my printer working, with 5.10. can anyone help a bit? =)
[03:15] <sn9> limguohong91: make the line look like that
[03:15] <narnian> ryanduff: ubuntu uses "sudo" to perform admin role
[03:15] <HappyFool> roberto_: please join #ubuntu-br
[03:15] <ryanduff> no root pw?? thats a bit insecure isn't it?
[03:15] <limguohong91> sn9: Okay

[03:16] <sunshine> happyfool it say dpkg-deb: --extract needs a target directory.
[03:16] <sunshine> Perhaps you should be using dpkg --install ?
[03:16] <HappyFool> sunshine: yeah, i added a . to the command
[03:17] <HappyFool> sunshine:   dpkg -x lsb-base_3.0-ubuntu8_all.deb .      <-- . at the end
[03:17] <narnian> ryanduff: the first user (you) by default has the knowledge to have root priveleges
[03:17] <chris_bloke> ryanduff: root account is locked by default
[03:17] <liable> wow ubuto has ops now, sweet :)
[03:17] <Vician> how do i install printer drivers ?
[03:17] <kemik> !tell ryanduff about root
[03:17] <ryanduff> ok, so anyway, wheres the lilo conf file?
[03:17] <ryanduff> alright, i get the point
[03:17] <chris_bloke> ryanduff: you can just do "sudo passwd" to set a root password if you need it
[03:17] <ompaul> ryanduff, that wouldbe called grub
[03:17] <sunshine> happyfool do u want me to put <-- at the end
[03:17] <cnu> instead of a root account you must use sudo <command>
[03:17] <quam> liable: there's chanserv here. there have always been ops, just not a reason to use them :p
[03:17] <kbrooks> sunshine: literal period
[03:18] <narnian> ryanduff: doesn't use lilo - uses grub
[03:18] <HappyFool> sunshine: no, a full stop, i.e. .
[03:18] <cnu> and then type your passwd
[03:18] <sigwada> pls i nid assistance, what is the complete command line again in getting a bittorent client!! tnx alot
[03:18] <limguohong91> sn9: It had fewer errors but soem still appear like fail to fetch ".........restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz"
[03:18] <kemik> ryanduff:  well, read the wiki for extra insight ;)
[03:18] <liable> quam: no, i mean the !ops call from ubotu.
[03:18] <chris_bloke> mine does use lilo
[03:18] <quam> oh :p
[03:18] <ryanduff> i'm pretty sure it said lilo
[03:18] <quam> my bad :P hehe
[03:18] <ryanduff> chris_bloke: thanks
[03:18] <ompaul> ryanduff, suggest you do things the ubuntu way - and then you will be enjoying it in a week sudo in particular
[03:18] <char1iecha1k> i have managed to install openvpn, but am stuck configuring anyhelp please
[03:18] <narnian> ryanduff: /boot/grub/menu.lst is prob what you want
[03:18] <ryanduff> narnian: thanks
[03:18] <chris_bloke> if you put /boot on an LVM the installer will give you lilo instead
[03:18] <sn9> sigwada: you should already have gnome-bittorrent
[03:19] <ryanduff> is kernel args the same, eg. /dev/hdc=noprobe
[03:19] <HappyFool> sunshine: success yet?
[03:19] <Artificial> anyone knows why the new VLC uses gtk1 instead of GTK2 on breezy?
[03:19] <sigwada> idont have gnome bittorent, what will i do
[03:19] <limguohong91> sn9: It had fewer errors but soem still appear like fail to fetch ".........restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz"
[03:19] <sunshine> happyfool i put a fullstop after and it still has error dpkg-deb: --extract needs a target directory.
[03:19] <chris_bloke> ryanduff: I believe so
[03:19] <St^Anger^19m> !dma
[03:19] <sigwada> how can i get one
[03:20] <sn9> limguohong91: what was the complete error line?
[03:20] <narnian> ryanduff: just make a copy a of the existing menu entry - that why you don't chop off your leg!
[03:20] <HappyFool> sunshine: the exact command is:    dpkg -x lsb-base_3.0-1ubuntu8_all.deb .
[03:20] <psichron> Can someone please direct me to a guide/help on configurin an external display for a laptop?
[03:20] <sigwada> pls help
[03:20] <HappyFool> sunshine: there must be a full-stop at the end, and there must be a space between the filename and the full stop
[03:20] <sn9> sigwada: sudo apt-get install gnome-bittorrent
[03:20] <narnian> ryanduff: you can also edit the kernel params for test puposes at the grub prompt
[03:20] <chris_bloke> so I take it no one else here is trying to boot Breezy off a DPT/Adaptec I2O SCSI controller then ?
[03:21] <ryanduff> narnian: ok
[03:21] <ryanduff> i also need to set the mouse protocol to bare because of my kvm switch
[03:21] <psichron> My notebook display and external display both have the same resolution and refresh, but it's not nice running a CRT at 60hz
[03:21] <rapha> Wow! Breezy is a breeze!

[03:26] <HappyFool> sunshine: leave it there
[03:26] <phreat> but they were telling me before 20 days, that i don't want to download breezy, because still not recommended, go for 5.04
[03:26] <phreat> why is that?
[03:26] <HappyFool> sunshine: but you can just run 'cd' if you want
[03:26] <apokryphos> phreat: because it wasn't stable
[03:26] <apokryphos> phreat: it has now reached stable status
[03:26] <phreat> apokryphos, and now it's stable?
[03:26] <HappyFool> phreat: it was only released on thursday
[03:26] <Ubun2> #ubuntu

[03:27] <larsrohdin> Hi, I just installed Nerolinux again. It complains about me not having DMA enabled for my drives. I know I managed to enable that the last time, but how? It's something with hdparm right?

[03:27] <phreat> I want to go to breezy
[03:27] <apokryphos> phreat: /topic
[03:27] <dr_willis> larsrohdin,  /etc/hdparm i think.
[03:27] <exosyst> phreat: worth recommending, if you like the latest and greatest, follow the starter guide to pull in breezy+1. few extra tweaks etc
[03:27] <phreat> apokryphos, nothing appears
[03:27] <HappyFool> !tell phreat about breezyupgrade
[03:27] <sunshine> happyfool done

[03:27] <apokryphos> phreat: oh, it was altered; one sec
[03:27] <ryanduff> narnian: def said lilo on boot, not grub
[03:28] <HappyFool> sunshine: ok, you backed up the init-functions earlier, right?
[03:28] <HappyFool> sunshine: to /root/lsb-init-functions or something?
[03:28] <sunshine> happyfool yeah

[03:28] <Sionide> ?
[03:28] <phreat> brb, time for reading.

[03:29] <Ubun2> ok
[03:29] <larsrohdin> dr_willis, oh ok...
[03:29] <phreat> guys, only 1 command to upgrade! it's very simple!! sudo apt-get install ubuntu-base ubuntu-desktop
[03:29] <HappyFool> sunshine: cool, i just wanted to check we didn't need to backup again
[03:29] <phreat> is only that command and i'm done?
[03:29] <narnian> ryanduff: dpkg --listfiles lilo
[03:29] <Ubun2> phreat: i want to update virus definition in clamAV
[03:29] <HappyFool> phreat: that looks wrong
[03:29] <phreat> Ubun2, read about it.
[03:29] <phreat> Happu, ok
[03:29] <Ubun2> i read
[03:29] <topyli> phreat: methinks ubuntu-desktop will depend on ubuntu-base anyway
[03:29] <phreat> HappyFool, it said on the site that.
[03:30] <larsrohdin> dr_willis, is it just to add the same command there then?
[03:30] <Ubun2> i have to use freshclam
[03:30] <phreat> Ubun2, I never used it, sorry.
[03:30] <Ubun2> but this  don update clamAV
[03:30] <dr_willis> larsrohdin,  check the config files - they are ducmuented.
[03:30] <Ubun2> ok
[03:30] <Sionide> are there breezy backports yet?
[03:30] <HappyFool> phreat: looks iffy to me. i thought 'dist-upgrade' was the correct way
[03:30] <dr_willis> larsrohdin,  its the same options youjust put them in some place in the files.
[03:30] <sn9> Sionide: no breezy-extras either
[03:30] <HappyFool> sunshine: are you still in ~/Desktop ?
[03:30] <Vician> is there a ubuntu manual somewhere ? need to find out how i get my printer working
[03:30] <phreat> hrm, weird

[03:32] <HappyFool> sunshine: don't worry, just run the cp command

[03:35] <HappyFool> sunshine: oh, you seem to have overwritten your swap partition
[03:35] <Steven-> so i might need some help :p
[03:35] <sigwada> ok ill try
[03:35] <Parallax_> someone help me with this: http://pastebin.ubuntulinux.nl/3118
[03:35] <dr_willis> sn9,  interesting - i beenusing breezy for the last month - havent seen any issues.. you are the frst ive seen mention any problems also.
[03:35] <HappyFool> sunshine: probably when you tried to install hoary
[03:35] <St^Anger^19m> !w32codecs
[03:35] <ubotu> w32codecs is probably to install Windows audio/video codecs (w32codecs) see Codecs and DVD-Video at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[03:35] <exosyst> anyone know how to immeadiately disconnect someone who is using VNC? Keypress for example?
[03:35] <dr_willis> sn9,  check the forums yet?
[03:35] <sigwada> how i will work on with the repositories, pls assist me, tnx
[03:35] <CameroonLoser> Hi people, when I want to input a command it says I'm not on the sudoers list, what do I do?
[03:36] <Solatis> hello, does anyone experience any problems linking their applications after the breezy upgrade ? I'm getting glibc errors for some reason, when the entire compile using the new gcc-4.0.2 went perfectly fine, when linking.... it tells me certain glibc functions don't exist anymore...
[03:36] <sn9> dr_willis: i looked for bug reports and didn't find what i'm experiencing
[03:36] <dr_willis> exosyst,  vncserver -kill :*    -  kills the vnc server.  or you mean one person viewing the session?
[03:36] <sunshine> happyfool yea when i tried to install hoary can i change it back to swap
[03:36] <narnian> sigwada: if you haven't tweaked anything then you just need to do apt-get update
[03:36] <exosyst> one person
[03:36] <HappyFool> sunshine: that would be a good idea
[03:36] <sunshine> happyfool how
[03:37] <thouters> ehm, what do I have to install to be able to play .avis in totem??
[03:37] <ryanduff> narnian: i found it, edited it, then vi crapped out on me and the computer just started to beep at me for about a minute before i pressed the reset button
[03:37] <narnian> then apt-get install bittorrent  (or gnome-bittorrent)
[03:37] <ryanduff> it completely hung
[03:37] <_Ben_> I just ran an upgrade to Breezy with Synaptic... On reboot I get a 'RAMDISK: ran out of compressed data' error, then 'invalid compressed format (err=1)
[03:37] <exosyst> like if i let someone view and control from afar. how can i pull the plug? Or am i screwed with fighting to disable it in the menu?
[03:37] <sn9> thouters: probably w32codecs
[03:37] <HappyFool> sunshine: i think 'mkswap /dev/hdb5' should work -- be careful that it's hdb5!
[03:37] <arkanes> thouters: seems to work best if you install totem-xine, also
[03:37] <Parallax_> someone help me with this: http://pastebin.ubuntulinux.nl/3118
[03:37] <thouters> on gentoo I use totem/gstreamer without any windows codecs or anything
[03:37] <_Ben_> And then Kernel panic - not syncinc: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[03:38] <_Ben_> Anyone got any ideas?
[03:38] <HappyFool> sn9: this is a bit of a hack, but have you tried removing the entries in sources.list, running apt-get update, then restoring sources.list and rerunning apt-get update ?
[03:38] <narnian> ryanduff: ???
[03:38] <sunshine> happyfool is this correct Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 1151500 kB
[03:38] <sunshine> no label, UUID=4ed474f3-4016-42d9-9f27-bed2fd32a2bc
[03:38] <sn9> HappyFool: the entries for main?
[03:38] <Parallax_> _Ben_: Recompile the kenrel with FS support and with ata support and your chipset
[03:39] <HappyFool> sn9: that fixed a funny bug i had with apt (it kept reporting archive.ubuntu.com didn't have 'partial support')
[03:39] <exosyst> no ideas then dr_willis?
[03:39] <HappyFool> sn9: well, try everything except the CD
[03:39] <ryanduff> narnian: what i'm thinking exactly
[03:39] <CameroonLoser> http://pastebin.ubuntulinux.nl/3119
[03:39] <HappyFool> sunshine: hang on
[03:39] <CameroonLoser> wot do I do
[03:39] <arkanes> ryanduff: that is almost certainly a hardware problem. From the symptoms, it sounds like your processor overheated
[03:39] <sunshine> happyfool cool
[03:39] <_Ben_> Parallax_: Bare with me, but how do I acomplish this?
[03:39] <dr_willis> exosyst,  not really -  ive never shaed with more then 1.
[03:39] <ryanduff> arkanes: shouldn't have
[03:39] <dr_willis> exosyst,  check the vnc docs :P
[03:39] <ryanduff> i just turned it on, it wasn't doing anything
[03:40] <narnian> ryanduff: try again i guess (and don't leave fingers pushing on the spacebar ;-) )
[03:40] <HappyFool> sunshine: i think so
[03:40] <HappyFool> sunshine: that's 1.1 GB, right?
[03:40] <sunshine> happyfool yea
[03:40] <exosyst> dr_willis: i dont think they apply as i tried the kill all and nothing. plus there's a RealVNC and a XVnc and VNC. Wtf?
[03:40] <HappyFool> sunshine: ok, looks good
[03:40] <HappyFool> sunshine: time to reboot; remove the cd, and it should work
[03:40] <sunshine> happyfool :)
[03:41] <HappyFool> *phew*
[03:41] <sigwada> im now in the repositories, then what will i do or type?
[03:41] <narnian> exosyst: sudo killall vncserver should do it!
[03:41] <dr_willis> exosyst,  variations and forks of the origianal vnc code with updates and changes.
[03:41] <sunshine> happyfool finger cross
[03:41] <sn9> HappyFool and dr_willis: specifically, my problem is that openoffice.org2-base is supposed to depend on java-gcj-compat OR j2re1.4 OR java2-runtime
[03:41] <exosyst> do you use breezy? have you tried the Remote Desktop thing? nicely done but i like to have a bit more control. cant remember if windows let you kill it as well or not though.
[03:41] <dr_willis> sn9,  could uninstall them all . and try reinstalling. (which is a bit of a pain)
[03:42] <dr_willis> sn9,  perhaps the package maintainers got some buglet.
[03:42] <sn9> i have j2re1.4 AND java2-runtime, but it still wants to pull in java-gcj-compat
[03:43] <narnian> sigwada: do you mean you are in synaptic?
[03:43] <sn9> synaptic says the dependency is OR not AND
[03:43] <exosyst> did anyone else have trouble setting up SSHD as well?
[03:44] <sn9> based on that, i would say the buglet is in apt
[03:44] <HrdwrBob> no
[03:45] <WaxieWhite> guys...anybody knows why ubuntu totem plays slow in vcd???
[03:45] <CameroonLoser> what's the command to see what's in the current dir again? I dind't use Linux for a while
[03:45] <thouters> do I have to add a repository or something to be able to play .avi files???
[03:45] <sn9> CameroonLoser: pwd
[03:45] <rapha> HappyFool: thx!
[03:46] <WaxieWhite> I have ubuntu, and my totem plays slow vcd..i already enabled DMA..imstal;led codec..etc..
[03:46] <solidape> i can't get nvidia to work:  (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device!
[03:46] <CameroonLoser> sn9 how do you see what's in that folder, not what the folder is called?
[03:46] <HappyFool> rapha: np
[03:46] <narnian> CameroonLoser: ls
[03:46] <HappyFool> sn9: does look wrong
[03:46] <thouters> solidape: did you pass the right device in your xorg.conf?
[03:46] <CameroonLoser> narnian that was it thansk
[03:46] <CameroonLoser> thanks
[03:46] <kemik> WaxieWhite:  try VLC or mplayer instead
[03:46] <sn9> thouters: http://www.giannaros.org/tor/bt/
[03:47] <_Ben_> How would I go about recompiling the Breezy kernel so it actually runs instead of giving me the error about VFS failing to sync?
[03:47] <solidape> thouters what do u mean by pass the right device?
[03:47] <thouters> pci id
[03:47] <HappyFool> sn9: is it not maybe one of the oo.o2 deps that is triggering that?
[03:47] <xxenon_> mp3 not supported in 5.10 ?
[03:47] <solidape> do i have to cahnge anything but the nv to nvidia part?
[03:47] <HappyFool> sn9: are you on amd64 ?
[03:47] <kemik> xxenon_:  need gstreamer0.8-mad
[03:47] <kemik> xxenon_:  mp3 is restricted
[03:48] <sn9> HappyFool: ppc. it's definitely oo.o2-base triggering
[03:48] <CameroonLoser> How do I add myself to the sudoers list??
[03:48] <funky> hi
[03:48] <WaxieWhite> hey..when i enable logging..where does the log file write to???
[03:48] <sn9> CameroonLoser: you should already be in it
[03:49] <CameroonLoser> sn9 what if it says I'm not
[03:49] <gilligan__> does anyone know how to get firefox to use the vlc or mplayer plugin for displaying movies ? It's using totem per default.. which I don't want -- but I don't see where/how to change it
[03:49] <exosyst> SSHD help please gents/gentettes? also, how can i stop firefox being the default browser
[03:49] <sigwada> now ive downloaded the gnome-bittorrent, how will i open it?
[03:49] <WaxieWhite> i just enabled logging in my X-chat, so where does the file write to??
[03:49] <CameroonLoser> I used to have Linux then I had to deinstall it because my fam needed Windoze, now reinstalled it. Now it says I'm not on the Sudoers list
[03:49] <topyli> CameroonLoser: then you can't do it yourself (since you cannot use sudo to do it)
[03:49] <narnian> xxenon_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[03:49] <char1iecha1k> can someone help me configure opnvpn please
[03:49] <Hikaru79> Seveas, are your repositories down?
[03:50] <sn9> sigwada: if you log out and log back in, it should be in the menu
[03:50] <sigwada> ok ill try
[03:50] <sigwada> tnx
[03:50] <CameroonLoser> topyli, this is the one and only ubuntu account on this pc. What can be wrong
[03:50] <narnian> sigwada: type gnome-bittorent
[03:50] <topyli> WaxieWhite: ~/.xchat2/xchatlogs
[03:50] <WaxieWhite> how do upgrade the security of a freshly installed ubuntu????
[03:51] <ompaul> WaxieWhite, how do you mean?
[03:51] <topyli> CameroonLoser: so you cannot use sudo at all?
[03:51] <rapha> HappyFool: Oh, the packages ARE already in Universe :-) ... I wanted to ask if it was possible to make them be installed by default
[03:51] <CameroonLoser> nope topyli
[03:51] <narnian> CameroonLoser: login as single user
[03:51] <thouters> does w32codecs work on powerpc? if not how do you play avis on ppc/ubuntu
[03:51] <spola> how do i dns from the command line?
[03:51] <HappyFool> sn9: to (try to) debug this, why not try installing the gcj version, uninstall the sun version and see if it works?
[03:51] <topyli> CameroonLoser: strange. you can do it init 1 like narnian says
[03:51] <narnian> at the boot prompt add "1" to the kernel command line
[03:51] <christos> i just installed the breezy badger and gcc. I get the "stdio.h no such file" error. what else do i need to install
[03:51] <ompaul> WaxieWhite, have you installed 5.04 5.10 ?
[03:51] <CameroonLoser> narnian how do I do that
[03:51] <HappyFool> rapha: ah, getting the packages into ubuntu-base might be harder
[03:52] <WaxieWhite> if i just installed ubuntu, i just wanna get the latest security patches, thats all...
[03:52] <sn9> thouters: on ppc you have to build your own w32codecs; i've done it
[03:52] <liable> ooh, there is a fast mirror out there..
[03:52] <WaxieWhite> 5.04
[03:52] <sigwada> the gnome-bittorent is still not yet install, pls help me how could install it
[03:52] <HappyFool> rapha: as i understand, 'main' is a fairly limited set of packages
[03:52] <Steven-> i'm dl at max speed liable
[03:52] <_Ben_> How would I go about recompiling the Breezy kernel so it actually runs instead of giving me the error about VFS failing and being unable to mount the root fs?
[03:52] <dr_willis> the w32codecs file is just a bunch of .dlls from various sources I thought. that install to some  dir. (aint it?)
[03:52] <kemik> WaxieWhite:  5.10 is the latest stable release
[03:53] <narnian> CameroonLoser: when you boot - type "e" to edit command line and add "1" abd then just boot - you then edit /etc/sudoers
[03:53] <rapha> HappyFool: Well, it does include everything you need in order to write Python Gtk apps...
[03:53] <WaxieWhite> since i am using 5.04, what will i do ???
[03:53] <kemik> WaxieWhite:  and if you got the security-repositories added you'll be notified when updates are available
[03:53] <liable> Steven-: both .au and .us were at abotu 15kB/s for me..
[03:53] <sigwada> pls help
[03:53] <Steven-> liable: i'm in flanders and dl from the netherlands
[03:53] <sn9> HappyFool: because i don't want the gcj stuff at all. i want the ibm java i went through many hoops to get ubuntu to use
[03:53] <CameroonLoser> k narnian gonna try
[03:53] <HappyFool> rapha: ubuntu-base or main? and python is (or so i believe) a favoured language at canonical
[03:53] <ompaul> WaxieWhite, click on system administration update manager
[03:54] <HappyFool> sn9: yeah, i said 'to debug' ;)
[03:54] <liable> Steven-: ahh, yeah i am using .nz now and its not too bad.
[03:54] <queuetue> Hello.  I was just installing breezy and I was wondering:  What is the LVM and when would I want to use it?
[03:54] <ompaul> WaxieWhite, then you will get a little red circle on the top right hand side of the screen click on that and enjoy the downloading
[03:54] <Steven-> liable: where are you located?
[03:54] <liable> Steven-: au
[03:54] <WaxieWhite> k...will do.
[03:54] <ompaul> WaxieWhite, when you are finishing you will have to reboot  as there is a new kernel in there
[03:54] <Steven-> ic
[03:54] <exosyst> no ssh experts?
[03:54] <christos> i get "stdio.: no such file", what's missing?
[03:54] <backports-r-us> In Breezy, how do I turn off the dmesg time stamps?
[03:55] <ompaul> WaxieWhite, why did you not do 5.10 just  as a matter of interest?
[03:55] <backports-r-us> logrotate isn't amused by it :)
[03:55] <WaxieWhite> you mean, i am upgrading to a new kernel in the process yyou mentioned?
[03:55] <rapha> HappyFool: no idea whether base or main. I just know I can use it right away from a vanilla Ubuntu.
[03:55] <ompaul> WaxieWhite, you will be
[03:55] <liable> exosyst: whats wrong with sshd
[03:55] <sunshine> happyfool: there was an error
[03:55] <exosyst> it fails on start
[03:55] <sunshine> happyfool ahhhhhhhh
[03:55] <HappyFool> sunshine: oh dear
[03:55] <WaxieWhite> i got this cd from a friend..so this is that i used.
[03:55] <HappyFool> sunshine: what?
[03:55] <HappyFool> !tell exosyst about ssh
[03:55] <sn9> HappyFool: you mean see if it will try to uninstall oo.o2 if i install then uninstall gcj?
[03:55] <sunshine> happy fool at grub error 17
[03:56] <liable> exosyst: for browser try 'update-alternatives --config x-www-browser'
[03:56] <queuetue> I assume LVM is the logical volume manager - what would I want to use it for?
[03:56] <ompaul> WaxieWhite, well if you don't mind me saying so I would download and install 5.10 now as it came out the other day
[03:56] <HappyFool> sn9: well, i meant to see if it will insist on need the other javas before nstalling oo.o2-base
[03:56] <ompaul> WaxieWhite, the only advantage is that it will last longer :)
[03:56] <liable> exosyst: with what error, what did you do to the config?
[03:56] <kenny_> hi guys
[03:56] <sunshine> happyfool i was goin to ask u how to i erase all the kernal i have at boot
[03:56] <kenny_> just installed Breezy and i love it
[03:56] <HappyFool> sn9: ah, that's from your hoary install
[03:56] <Steven-> omg they killed kenny_
[03:56] <HappyFool> sn9: oops
[03:57] <sunshine> happyfool it might be that
[03:57] <exosyst> liable it gives me the following: exosyst@endosystem:~$ /etc/init.d/ssh start

[03:57] <LeaChim> after changing my repositories to breezy it now wants to remove xlibmesa-dri xlibmesa-gl and xlibmesa-glu along with others, on apt-get dist-upgrade - do i need these, or can i let it remove them?
[03:57] <HappyFool> sunshine: that's from your hoary install
[03:57] <exosyst> sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
[03:57] <kenny_> omg what a new joke that u said
[03:57] <exosyst>                                                                          [fail]
[03:57] <rebegin> hey
[03:57] <Steven-> still good
[03:57] <HappyFool> exosyst: don't paste, please
[03:57] <sn9> HappyFool: i didn't install hoary on this machine
[03:57] <exosyst> sorry!
[03:57] <sunshine> happyfool how do i fix it
[03:57] <raveneye> Hi, anyone using the alexandria package?
[03:57] <HappyFool> sn9: sorry, was for sunshine
[03:57] <ompaul> exosyst, paste in paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[03:57] <LeaChim> after changing my repositories to breezy it now wants to remove xlibmesa-dri xlibmesa-gl and xlibmesa-glu along with others, on apt-get dist-upgrade - do i need these, or can i let it remove them?
[03:57] <backports-r-us> LeaChim: remove them -- they've been renamed in breezy
[03:58] <HappyFool> sunshine: not too hard
[03:58] <LeaChim> ok, thanks
[03:58] <ompaul> exosyst, you might try that with sudo /etc/....
[03:58] <christos> i get "stdio.h: no such file", what's missing?
[03:58] <LeaChim> oh, it also wants to remove postfix-tls and ubuntu-quickguide :/ - also renamed?
[03:58] <exosyst> no joy ompaul
[03:58] <occy> heh
[03:58] <kemik> christos:  build-essential perhaps
[03:59] <occy> what the heck happened?
[03:59] <antony> WaxieWhite, logging for what?
[03:59] <HappyFool> sunshine: i'm going to use this as a guide to help you: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[03:59] <rebegin> may i get some help with configuring wifi?
[03:59] <ompaul> exosyst, did you install openssh-server?
[03:59] <antony> WaxieWhite, ignore ^^^
[03:59] <HappyFool> sunshine: we need to mount /dev/hdb1 again, 'chroot' to it and run grub-install
[03:59] <sn9> HappyFool: it's already trying to pull the third (java-gcj-compat) when the other two are listed as provided by my ibm-j2sdk1.4 pkg
[03:59] <exosyst> yeah installed ompaul
[04:00] <exosyst> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/d3122
[04:00] <occy> Does anyone know of a PCI wireless (802.11g) card that works 100% with Ubuntu out of the box?  ie. not futzing or kernel recompile junk needed.
[04:00] <exosyst> i did ssh-keygen etc for RSA and DSA but stil no joy
[04:00] <rebegin> i cannot work it out, i've read 20-30 topics, and wiki and everything i quess, but not working so far
[04:00] <occy> I need one for my desktop.
[04:00] <LeaChim> backports-r-us, it also wants to remove postfix-tls and ubuntu-quickguide :/ - also renamed?
[04:01] <HappyFool> sn9: my point is you suspect the OR has somehow become and AND; by removing the other java package, and providing the gcj package, you can test this claim
[04:01] <_Ben_> Would anyone be willing to help me recompile the Breezy kernel with support for ATA or whatever is causing a 'Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)' error?
[04:01] <kenny_> Anuone know were to download a compatible ubunu java 1.5 file
[04:01] <backports-r-us> LeaChim: I know quickguide changed, not sure about postfix-tls
[04:01] <kenny_> i had one but it dosnt work in Breezy
[04:01] <backports-r-us> LeaChim: do you run a mail server?
[04:01] <eldad_> Hi! I need help: my Synaptic gives me the following err: E: The package conexant needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[04:01] <eldad_> E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
[04:01] <LeaChim> backports-r-us, no
[04:01] <HappyFool> sunshine: just a sec while i check the wiki page
[04:01] <backports-r-us> LeaChim: then it's safe :)
[04:01] <LeaChim> k
[04:01] <antony> _Ben_, is it a kernel you built?
[04:01] <eldad_> I'm using breezy
[04:01] <ompaul> exosyst, ehh
[04:02] <sunshine> happyfool what the file we were mountin it on or do we need to create it again
[04:02] <backports-r-us> LeaChim: typically with stable releases you can trust everything dist-upgrade suggests
[04:02] <ompaul> exosyst, sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[04:02] <exosyst> ompaul: what's up? the sudo don't work either
[04:02] <_Ben_> antony: No. I just use Synaptic to update and it refuses to boot Breezy now, only Hoary.
[04:02] <LeaChim> occy, my netgear card has worked fine using the madwifi drivers and wpa_supplicant
[04:02] <sn9> HappyFool: that wouldn't really test it because java-gcj-compat also provides the other 2 afaik. besides, they have no installation candidate in any repository
[04:02] <HappyFool> sunshine: you need to create it again
[04:02] <backports-r-us> LeaChim: it's only on development releases or Sid that dist-upgrade ever suggests removing the entire system in favor of one package :)
[04:02] <LeaChim> lol
[04:02] <HappyFool> sn9: ah
[04:02] <St^Anger^19m> how can i shift sound more to the right channel?
[04:02] <ompaul> exosyst, that is different to want you were doing :)
[04:02] <christos> kemik thanx, build-essential and all that stuff was missing
[04:02] <LeaChim> so, any guides for java in breezy?
[04:03] <LeaChim> i'm currently using blackdown
[04:03] <sn9> kenny_: http://www.giannaros.org/tor/bt/
[04:03] <ompaul> !tell LeaChim about jaba
[04:03] <HappyFool> sn9: you'd think the java2 virtual package would be all that would be required
[04:03] <ompaul> !tell LeaChim about java
[04:03] <backports-r-us> St^Anger^19m: see the little links below each volume control dragger?
[04:03] <HappyFool> sn9: anyway, i don't really think i'm helping you, sorry
[04:03] <antony> _Ben_, do you mean up_grade_ when you say update? in any case, if you upgraded, you don't have a hoary system to boot into anymore.
[04:03] <St^Anger^19m> yes
[04:03] <sunshine> happyfool mkdir /meda/hdb1
[04:03] <exosyst> ompaul how so? i want to be able to login remotely using SSH. Guide away sunshine!
[04:03] <HappyFool> sunshine: indeed
[04:03] <backports-r-us> LeaChim: umm, shouldn't have changed much since Hoary
[04:03] <LeaChim> thanks ompaul
[04:03] <HappyFool> sunshine: looks like we'll need extra mount commands too
[04:03] <St^Anger^19m> backports-r-us, yes
[04:03] <backports-r-us> LeaChim: Blackdown in multiverse; Sun Java works fine
[04:03] <eldad_> Hi! I need help: my Synaptic gives me the following err: E: The package conexant needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[04:03] <eldad_> E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
[04:04] <HappyFool> sunshine: then 'mount /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1'
[04:04] <backports-r-us> St^Anger^19m: clicking it separates left and right channels
[04:04] <ompaul> exosyst, sorry I made a mistake reading that
[04:04] <_Ben_> antony: I changed all the repos to Hoary and hit... upgrade, yeah.
[04:04] <antony> LeaChim, you need java-package
[04:04] <St^Anger^19m> backports-r-us, and then what?
[04:04] <antony> _Ben_, to hoary?
[04:04] <rebegin> LeaChim: i've got the zd1211 chipset stuff, recognising it, just not working
[04:04] <_Ben_> antony: Freudian slip, I meant to say Breezy.
[04:04] <backports-r-us> St^Anger^19m: just drag the right higher than the left, till the balance is good
[04:04] <St^Anger^19m> oh ic
[04:04] <backports-r-us> St^Anger^19m: for the master channel, primarily
[04:04] <St^Anger^19m> thanks :D
[04:04] <LeaChim> hmm, what does The following packages have been kept back:mplayer-386 mean?
[04:04] <exosyst> ompaul: can you help then? it should allow me to just ssh xxxxxxx and let me in
[04:05] <antony> _Ben_, so why do you think you can still boot into a hoary system?
[04:05] <LeaChim> why isn't it upgrading that one :
[04:05] <Zapata> How do i get the gnome desktop after a server install?
[04:05] <backports-r-us> LeaChim: something weird about mplayer-386 dependency-wise couldn't be evaluated
[04:05] <antony> exosyst, have you read the ssh docs?
[04:05] <ompaul> exosyst, I have it working here I am just trying to remember what I did ...
[04:05] <sunshine> happyfool ok
[04:05] <backports-r-us> LeaChim: first go through an upgrade, then do "apt-get install mplayer-386"
[04:05] <St^Anger^19m> backports-r-us, thanks :D
[04:05] <backports-r-us> St^Anger^19m: np
[04:05] <antony> Zapata, aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[04:05] <sn9> rebegin: firmware, firmware, firmware
[04:05] <narnian> _Ben_: you needed to do apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:05] <exosyst> take your time, it's no rush. be nice to just get in remotely. and yeah i did antony. no help.
[04:06] <Zapata> antony: Thanks!
[04:06] <ompaul> exosyst, sudo apt-get install dropbear
[04:06] <rebegin> sn9: firmware of what? usb device??
[04:06] <sunshine> happyfool on the website do i do the same but replace work with media
[04:06] <antony> exosyst, so what have you tried, and what exactly doesn't work?
[04:06] <sn9> rebegin: yes
[04:06] <HappyFool> sunshine: ok, now 'mount -o bind /dev /media/hdb1/dev'
[04:06] <HappyFool> sunshine: more or less
[04:06] <rebegin> sn9: it works with windows perfectly
[04:06] <_Ben_> antony: GRUB had boot options for 2.6.12-9-386 & 2.6.10-5-316
[04:06] <HappyFool> sunshine: if you can figure it out yourself that's great ;)
[04:06] <Zapata> antony: Can't log in as root?
[04:07] <raveneye> Hi, anyone using the alexandria book cataloguer package?
[04:07] <exosyst> ompaul: whats dropbear?
[04:07] <ompaul> !tell Zapata about root
[04:07] <antony> _Ben_, so what? it's just the kernel. doesn't mean you're booting into a "hoary system"
[04:07] <ompaul> exosyst, it is described as a lightweight ssh server
[04:07] <antony> Zapata, what?
[04:07] <sunshine> happyfool error when tryin to mount -o bind... i need u
[04:07] <exosyst> antony: i followed ubuntuguide and installed openssh-server and it just won't let me start it. gives me the error i posted before.
[04:07] <eldad_> Where can I get help regarding Synaptic Errors? (using Breezy)
[04:08] <Zapata> antony: ?
[04:08] <ompaul> !ubuntuguide
[04:08] <ubotu> somebody said ubuntuguide was out of date, breaks PCs and doesn't explain anything. The official FAQ Guide, which is based on ubuntuguide is the help menu in Breezy. For more information see !faq.
[04:08] <exosyst> ompaul: is that how you set yours up?
[04:08] <ompaul> exosyst, thats what I used to get it goint
[04:08] <ompaul> exosyst, going
[04:08] <applemac2> qualche italiano ceh usa mac_
[04:08] <liable> exosyst: try removing the keys and restarting the server, i havent ever had to make those keys myself,
[04:08] <backports-r-us> ubotu: there are some people who really hate the guide...... :)
[04:08] <ubotu> backports-r-us: I think you lost me on that one
[04:08] <antony> Zapata, i have no idea what you mean by "can't log in as root?"
[04:08] <eldad_> couldn't find the solution there...
[04:08] <HappyFool> sunshine: what was the error?
[04:08] <sigwada> btdownloadcurses, how can i activate it?
[04:08] <ompaul> exosyst, and what annoyed me was it just worked on Debian
[04:08] <b0uncer> darn :<
[04:08] <eldad_> the error in synaptic is:
[04:08] <eldad_> E: The package conexant needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[04:08] <eldad_> E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
[04:08] <backports-r-us> eldad_: try "sudo apt-get clean"
[04:08] <_Ben_> antony: Can you help me fix it?
[04:09] <b0uncer> can anybody help me...my DSL loses configuration each reboot...
[04:09] <b0uncer> pppoecon
[04:09] <exosyst> ompaul: nice. go ubuntu!  liable: i can't start the server in the first place!
[04:09] <b0uncer> f
[04:09] <Zapata> antony: need to login as root using SU, my install password does not work
[04:09] <rebegin> ok. now i have to go, i hope late someone can help me.bye all
[04:09] <backports-r-us> Zapata: use sudo
[04:09] <Zapata> antony: ok Thanks
[04:09] <antony> _Ben_, nah. stock kernels should just work. if they don't, i'd raise a bug
[04:09] <sn9> Zapata: use sudo, not su
[04:09] <narnian> sigwada: man btdownloadcurses
[04:09] <LeaChim> !faq
[04:09] <ubotu> well, faq is The Ubuntu FAQ Guide: select System -> Help (in Breezy), or http://doc.ubuntu.com/gnome/faqi386/C/
[04:09] <antony> Zapata, why are you trying to login to X as root?
[04:09] <liable> exosyst: whats the perms on the keys.
[04:09] <backports-r-us> man is it hectic in here :)
[04:10] <exosyst> liable: rw--r--r
[04:10] <narnian> sigwada: cd to directory containing your .torrent file and just run "btdownloadcurses"
[04:10] <Zapata> anotony: X did not start after a server install?
[04:10] <cappiz> to mount windows shares you can use samba.. is there any other one?
[04:10] <liable> exosyst: all of em?
[04:10] <shaun_> Is there a way to get documentation to load in yelp? I installed Ubuntu and when I open help, it only shows the title "Help Topics"
[04:10] <antony> Zapata, i don't know why you put a question mark at the end of something that's not a question
[04:10] <sn9> cappiz: why?
[04:11] <antony> cappiz, why would you need something else?
[04:11] <liable> exosyst: the not .pub should be rw-------
[04:11] <Zapata> anotony: X did not start after a server install'
[04:11] <cappiz> is samba "secure" ?
[04:11] <sigwada> when i type btdownloadcurses <filename.torrent> i got this error bash: btdownloadcurses: command not found
[04:11] <antony> cappiz, compared to what?
[04:11] <_Ben_> antony: Can you derive any meaning from 'RAMDISK: ran out of compressed data' 'Invalid compressed format (err=1)'?
[04:11] <[LethAL] > cappiz, it's Windows...
[04:11] <ompaul> exosyst, I told you what I did it worked :)
[04:12] <_Ben_> antony: Read: Does that tell you WTF is wrong with this thing?
[04:12] <sigwada> pls help
[04:12] <exosyst> liable: hang on will try. what chmod params is that. 700
[04:12] <antony> _Ben_, sounds like the kernel image may be fucked. you can try purging and reinstalling it
[04:12] <eldad_> backports-r-us: tried "sudo apt-get clean" ; result: no output and same error again...
[04:12] <HappyFool> cappiz: samba is pretty good, and more-or-less your only option for doing windows networking (shares, active directory, etc. etc.)
[04:12] <liable> exosyst: 600
[04:12] <sn9> sigwada: Applications->Internet->BitTorrent
[04:12] <backports-r-us> eldad_: that sounds like a pretty major apt failure
[04:12] <cappiz> im was thinking of mounting a disk over the internet... wondering if sama is secure, does it send data in clear-text?
[04:12] <antony> [LethAL] , no, samba is _not_ windows
[04:12] <[LethAL] > I never said it was Windows
[04:12] <antony> cappiz, don't be silly. use a vpn
[04:12] <[LethAL] > It's part of it
[04:12] <narnian> sigwada: that is because your still haven't installed it - apt-get install bittorrent
[04:12] <backports-r-us> _Ben_:  it means your initrd/initramfs is corrupt
[04:12] <liable> exosyst: the .pub should be 644
[04:13] <sigwada> theres is no bittorent program under my internet
[04:13] <antony> [LethAL] , no, samba is not part of windows
[04:13] <backports-r-us> _Ben_: reselect your newest kernel under Synaptic, reinstall
[04:13] <[LethAL] > antony, It's the shares part. It is part of it ;)
[04:13] <exosyst> liable: same issue
[04:13] <cappiz> well, i need my win disk to appear in my linux system for ftp usage....
[04:13] <feugan3333> Hi all. Breezy is so coooooool! I don't want my mounted volumes to apear on the desktop, how do I fix?
[04:13] <Zapata> How do i login in as root on a fresh server install?
[04:13] <netstar> is there anyway to upgrade xchat to 2.4.5?
[04:13] <_Ben_> backports-r-us: OK. How's that fixed? :)
[04:13] <liable> exosyst: can you paste the error?
[04:13] <TiMiDo> Zapata; sudo -s
[04:13] <ericz> i know the command "df" to see space or whatever, what's the argument to see the space in MB?
[04:14] <antony> [LethAL] , no it isn't. it might use the same protocol but to say that samba is part of windows is incorrect. full stop.
[04:14] <char1iecha1k> any idea where i can find explicit setup instructions for openvpn?
[04:14] <TiMiDo> ericz; man df
[04:14] <HappyFool> [LethAL] : you reckon samba comes installed with windows?
[04:14] <sigwada> in th root terminal i will type as in "apt-get install bittorrent" ?
[04:14] <[LethAL] > ericz, df -h
[04:14] <exosyst> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/d3122
[04:14] <jdong__> _Ben_: exactly what I said to do; reinstall kernel
[04:14] <narnian> sigwada: yes
[04:14] <sigwada> ok ill try
[04:14] <Zapata> TiMiDo: Thanks
[04:14] <ericz> thanks
[04:14] <TiMiDo> sigwada; bittornado
[04:14] <TiMiDo> Zapata; np
[04:14] <dreameen> hey folks
[04:14] <exosyst> liable: and it's the same with sudo starting it
[04:14] <antony> char1iecha1k, yes, um, how about the openvpn website?
[04:14] <TiMiDo> hey dreameen
[04:15] <dreameen> how to remove single package without its dependencies with apt-get?
[04:15] <feugan3333> Zapata: Ubuntu uses sudo, so you prefix the command that you using with sudo when you need root permissions.
[04:15] <TiMiDo> dreameen; sudo apt-get remove package
[04:15] <shaun_> feugan3333,  System Tools > Configuration Editor > apps > nautilus > desktop > deselect "volumes_visible"
[04:15] <raingrove> will the real slim shady please stand up
[04:15] <larsrohdin> there is a folder, called System volume information on my /media/hdb disk... its 300mb big. What would happen if I removed it?
[04:15] <ompaul> exosyst, did you install dropbear - apt-cache search dropbear to check it out
[04:15] <feugan3333> shaun: Thx
[04:15] <char1iecha1k> antony, thanks i have already been there but as i am new to linux i have tried to follow them but dont understand hence the need for some really dumb instructiosn
[04:15] <ericz> i recently switched from GNOME to KDE and now when i put my usb flash drive in, no icon automatically shows up on the desktop... can this happen in KDE?
[04:15] <shaun_> feugan3333, anytime
[04:15] <exosyst> ompaul: yeah. gonna play in a bit
[04:15] <Khantozavri> hi folks, i need some help.... i have smb connections that is sitting on my destop, but can't find it in directory tree... i want rythmbox to use it as a library... any ideas?
[04:16] <dreameen> TiMiDo, it still wants to remove other packages
[04:16] <sigwada> ive done it already but the error said E: Couldn't find package bittorrent what will i do
[04:16] <Riddell> ericz: it's a bug which will be fixed very soon
[04:16] <antony> char1iecha1k, you can't have your cake and eat it. read them again. tell us specifically what you don't understand.
[04:16] <char1iecha1k> i really like ubuntu but there are 2 things stopping me from using it at the moment 1. cant do vpn 2 cant do wpa wireless
[04:16] <jdong__> sigwada: it's called "gnome-btdownload"
[04:16] <LeaChim> larsrohdin, i *think* it's used for ntfs and system restore, so removing it might corrupt those features and stop you using the partition in windows
[04:16] <shaun_> I'm having a problem with Help. It only loads the title "Help Topics." Does anyone know how to fix this?
[04:16] <ericz> riddell: thanks, how will it be fixed though? just a new package in ubuntu update manager or what?
[04:16] <larsrohdin> LeaChim, aarrrggghhh....
[04:16] <antony> Khantozavri, mount it using smbmount (may be deprecated by mount)
[04:16] <El_Che> anyone knows when (or if) an breezy hp iso will be out?
[04:16] <LeaChim> larsrohdin, you can't normally write to ntfs whiel in linux anyway :/
[04:17] <char1iecha1k> antony, i have the package installed, but not sure what to do ihave a config file but dont know where to puit it or what needs to b in it
[04:17] <larsrohdin> LeaChim, its not ntfs, its fat32 btw
[04:17] <LeaChim> char1iecha1k, use package wpa_supplicant to get wpa
[04:17] <exosyst> liable: did you see it? ompaul: it doesnt support agent fwding etc though. i wanted to be able to tunnel etc
[04:17] <LeaChim> larsrohdin, ok, might just stop system restore working then
[04:17] <sigwada> pls help how could i get gnome-bittorrent
[04:17] <antony> char1iecha1k, if you have _no_ idea about that then you obviously haven't tried to read the docs
[04:17] <LeaChim> larsrohdin, try disabling system restore in windows and see if it goes away
[04:17] <char1iecha1k> antony, i have... i dont understand
[04:18] <char1iecha1k> thats the problem
[04:18] <ompaul> exosyst, ahh
[04:18] <Armagguedes> hell
[04:18] <Armagguedes> hello
[04:18] <antony> char1iecha1k, yes, and _what_ don't you understand?  (nb everything is not an answer)
[04:18] <Khantozavri> antony: i have hard time to mount it by smbmount... i only could do it by places>network servers....
[04:18] <Zapata> feugan3333:  What happend to SU in Ubuntu?
[04:18] <liable> exosyst: yeah, can you gimme output of ls-l /etc/ssh and the config?
[04:18] <sn9> sigwada: sudo apt-get install gnome-btdownload
[04:18] <WaxieWhite> is it true that ubuntu do not have root user?
[04:18] <netstar> where can I install additional truetype fonts?
[04:18] <CameroonLoser> ok, it's me again, when I am in the Single User stuff, how do I edit the SUDOERS ?
[04:18] <dreameen> i cant beleieve it, its not possible to forcily remove one particular package from the system with apt-get
[04:19] <char1iecha1k> anthony,  No server certificate verification method has been enabled.
[04:19] <LeaChim> Zapata, su needs the root account active and uses it's pass - ubuntu uses sudo and the user account pass
[04:19] <dreameen> what a piece sh*t
[04:19] <antony> Khantozavri, then you need to learn how to do things without annoying guis
[04:19] <LeaChim> dreameen, dpkg --help
[04:19] <Hikaru79> Anyone here know of a repository that has nxclient available? Seveas' repos seem to be down.
[04:19] <netstar> dreameen, you want that functionality without breaking package databases then use slackware
[04:19] <sn9> dreameen: dpkg -r foo
[04:19] <WaxieWhite> I am a little confused of ubuntu root user...could anybody care to exaplin a little...
[04:19] <Khantozavri> antony: thanks... but, if it is mounted, where the hell is it?
[04:20] <Zapata> LeaChim: Ok, i only used Fedora before, thanks!
[04:20] <LeaChim> WaxieWhite, ubuntu has a root user, it's password is locked though. you use sudo command and enter your user password
[04:20] <HappyFool> !tell WaxieWhite about root
[04:20] <antony> Khantozavri, it's where you mounted it
[04:20] <larsrohdin> LeaChim, ok... I'll try that... thanks
[04:20] <netstar> !tell netstar about fonts
[04:20] <sn9> CameroonLoser: visudo
[04:20] <EnsignRedshirt> Hello, world.
[04:20] <sigwada> i type apt-get install gnome-bittorent and the error appears E: Couldn't find package gnome-bittorrent what will i do?
[04:20] <LeaChim> !tell LeaChim about ubotu
[04:20] <antony> dreameen, why do you want to do this? perhaps you're wrong
[04:20] <WaxieWhite> So , you mean...there is a way to enable root account in ubuntu?
[04:20] <fforw> CameroonLoser: you have to use sudo and cope with the fact that /etc/sudoers is write protected. vi e.g. can force writing the file even if its write protected.
[04:20] <LeaChim> WaxieWhite, yes
[04:21] <sigwada> im a newbie in ubuntu pls help me
[04:21] <ericz> waxiewhite, of course
[04:21] <sn9> sigwada: it's not gnome-bittorrent, it's gnome-btdownload
[04:21] <LeaChim> WaxieWhite, sudo passwd root
[04:21] <ompaul> WaxieWhite, yes, but you don't want to do taht
[04:21] <Hikaru79> CameroonLoser, you should always use visudo to edit /etc/sudoers
[04:21] <WaxieWhite> why?
[04:21] <ompaul> WaxieWhite, yes, use sudo for a week and you will be hooked
[04:21] <Khantozavri> antony: c'on, buddy.... this gui deosn't ask me where it must mount it, it just mounts.. and I can access it thru places... where is the place placeholder?
[04:21] <CameroonLoser> and what is visudo
[04:21] <LeaChim> sigwada, help you with what :/ - give us a problem to fix, otherwise how do we help you :/
[04:21] <fforw> sigwada: the package name is "gnome-btdownload"
[04:21] <antony> Khantozavri, that's why the gui is shit. man mount. if you type mount, you'll see a list of current system mount points.
[04:21] <cliebow> visudo is specifically designed to edit it and debug
[04:21] <kenny_> isnt gnome-btorretn installed by default
[04:21] <LeaChim> Khantozavri, probably mounted in /media someplace
[04:22] <WaxieWhite> im confused..bcoz the dialog password is not the root...
[04:22] <Armagguedes> when booting up for install, are there any boot parameters to reach a screen for package selection?
[04:22] <ompaul> WaxieWhite, for one you run a command and come back to see what it was a couple of weeks later with sudo its in the logs
[04:22] <CameroonLoser> how do I get visudo
[04:22] <sigwada> ok ill try it tnx
[04:22] <ompaul> WaxieWhite, the password is your own
[04:22] <Khantozavri> i've checked /media, and it's not there... .:(
[04:22] <antony> there's no need for visudo in a single user environment
[04:22] <sn9> CameroonLoser: type it
[04:22] <LeaChim> Khantozavri, type mount then
[04:22] <frfx> people, hi! Where do I find ubuntu's public PGP key to verify md5sums?
[04:22] <Khantozavri> let me try mount thought
[04:22] <CameroonLoser> ok
[04:22] <exosyst> liable: yeah sure it's at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/d3124
[04:22] <LeaChim> frfx, errrrr.. md5sums is md5. gpg signing would need the key ://
[04:22] <WaxieWhite> in debian, and other distro, it is usually the root password ask when doing critical stuff..in ubuntu you are ask to enter the guest apssword
[04:23] <ompaul> WaxieWhite, you will get very used to is in a week trust me on this, also in large corporates it is how all things are done
[04:23] <fforw> CameroonLoser: "sudo visudo"
[04:23] <kbrooks> ompaul: why?
[04:23] <CameroonLoser> fforw: In Single User?
[04:23] <WaxieWhite> okey, i will sudo from now on....
[04:23] <antony> ompaul, what a load of crap. how do you know what all large corporates do? lmao
[04:23] <ompaul> kbrooks, audit trails
[04:23] <Khantozavri> unfortunately, it doesn't list any of my three smb mounted shares.... too bad..
[04:23] <fforw> CameroonLoser: should also work in single user..
[04:23] <kbrooks> ompaul: meaning what
[04:23] <raingrove> does anyone play freeciv
[04:23] <CameroonLoser> ok, gonna try
[04:23] <antony> WaxieWhite, this is linux. do what works for you. if i had to type sudo every time, it would drive me mad
[04:23] <frfx> LeaChim, md5sum.pgp is signed, how to verify it, I need their public key I suppose?
[04:24] <LeaChim> ah
[04:24] <kbrooks> antony: ?
[04:24] <EnsignRedshirt> I am trying to add a Custom Application Launcher to my top panel, and I want it to use an icon that I created.  In the "Create Launcher" window, I click on the icon button, and browse to my directory that contains some icons that I created (png files). However, the files are "grayed out"--I can't select any of them.  I've checked the permissions and all the files are readable.
[04:24] <ompaul> antony, I spent enough time in a data centre with sun aix mainframes and terrabytes in the last century to know what I am talking about
[04:24] <liable> exosyst: cheers, try uncommenting the hostkey lines and see what gives.
[04:24] <LeaChim> frfx, try applications system tools, gnomepgp - and see if there's an option to download keys
[04:24] <WaxieWhite> how do i mount via command-line, an NTFS partition....( i know how to do it in FAT32 )
[04:24] <ompaul> kbrooks, it means that from a box owner perspective you can see who ran what when
[04:24] <antony> ompaul, so your experience in one data centre enables you to make blanket statements about what large corporates do?
[04:24] <char1iecha1k> LeaChim, do you have to restart once the wpasupplicant has been installed or is there a command to restart the device?
[04:24] <exosyst> liable: same error
[04:24] <EnsignRedshirt> So my question is--why won't "Create Launcher" let me choose an icon that I created?
[04:25] <sn9> WaxieWhite: exactly the same except -t ntfs instead of -t vfat
[04:25] <antony> WaxieWhite, man mount
[04:25] <ompaul> antony, no I have been in more than one :-)
[04:25] <LeaChim> char1iecha1k, you need to edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
[04:25] <frfx> LeaChim, I'm in Windows and I have GnuPG installed on my PC, I don't want to install Ubuntu without verifying
[04:25] <WaxieWhite> i mean, is there a kernerl requirement to do this?
[04:25] <EnsignRedshirt> (It worked in warty...)
[04:25] <kbrooks> sudo question:
[04:25] <Baxter_Kylie> Mornin'... could anyone tell me a command that let's me know what is currently enabled in my kernel?
[04:25] <antony> ompaul, so that enables you to make blanket statements?  have you worked in most large corporates?
[04:25] <kbrooks> major question:
[04:25] <kenny_> frfx verify what
[04:25] <exosyst> liable: any more ideas?
[04:25] <antony> Baxter_Kylie, be less vague
[04:26] <Ekibyougami> waxie, you might want to use mount /dev/hda# /mnt/whatever -o umask=000
[04:26] <kbrooks> M.A,J.O.R question
[04:26] <Ekibyougami> that works for ntfs partitions
[04:26] <fforw> EnsignRedshirt: the "select icon" dialog shouldn't show filenames but icons themself.
[04:26] <LeaChim> frfx, lemme look
[04:26] <ompaul> antony, okay take this to offtopic
[04:26] <sn9> Baxter_Kylie: look at the config in /boot
[04:26] <netstar> Baxter_Kylie, /proc/config.gz if you're lucky else the .config file in your kernel source directory will tell you.
[04:26] <Baxter_Kylie> Heh... sorry... Trying to find out if sysctl is enabled.
[04:26] <liable> exosyst: leave the lines uncommented, remove your keys (or move them) and restart it.
[04:26] <Khantozavri> you know what really drives me crazy? mount -t smbfs tells me you need signing enabled... cifs tells me permission denigned, and places can mount... what's going on, anybody?
[04:26] <WaxieWhite> does debian sarge support bluetooth??
[04:26] <liable> exosyst: i have never had to actually make them (on a debian system)
[04:26] <antony> ompaul, i do not wish to. if you can't back up your "facts", please don't state them
[04:26] <ompaul> kbrooks, ask before I start a drumroll :)
[04:26] <exosyst> liable: change them back to commented?
[04:26] <liable> exosyst: no
[04:27] <EnsignRedshirt> fforw: Clicking on the icon button brings up the "Browse Icons" window, and then I click on the "Browse..." button.
[04:27] <kbrooks> if someone knows my password and shells into my computer (i have ssh installed) and logins to my system with my username and pw
[04:27] <kbrooks> and figure out i use sudo
[04:27] <Ekibyougami> waxie, there are bluetooth packages in the repositories
[04:27] <sn9> Baxter_Kylie: unless you disabled it, it's there
[04:27] <kevor> good work kbrooks
[04:27] <kbrooks> anything can happen, no?
[04:27] <Discipulus> anyone know a good bittorrent website?
[04:27] <kbrooks> kevor: ?
[04:27] <ericz> bittorrent.com
[04:27] <Ekibyougami> http://torrentspy.com
[04:27] <ompaul> antony, tell you what - do it your way I'll do it mine - and be happy but the banks and telcos I know all subscribe to it
