[09:14] <^Manu> but i burned 8.04 and 9.04 at 24x and they worked fine..
[09:14] <reportingsjr> decomp_: well, I can't set up dual-head any more, and for some reason directx isn't working on my computer now, either. (for playing warcraft 3)
[09:14] <decomp_> Rapture: one sec booting install dvd now - will need to look again to get that info - one sec
[09:14] <jim_p> Zine, does that pc have an internet connection active? ~80% of the installation progress is where it checks the online repos
[09:14] <Gnea> 4x is recommended
[09:14] <rww> Zine: it's stuck on Scanning the mirror? Pull out the ethernet cord/whatever you're using to connect.
[09:14] <faileas> ^Manu: got another OS on it right now?
[09:14] <adam7> Katangawise: yes, but don't worry about it; as long as you know that it isn't working you don't need to worry about it
[09:14] <rww> Zine: that should fix it, oddly.
[09:14] <faileas> and want a fresh install?
[09:14] <Rapture> decomp_: kk
[09:14] <^Manu> i burned multiple 8.10 cd's from 2 separate iso's downloaded from 2 separate places.
[09:14] <Gnea> yeah, 24x is way too fast
[09:14] <^Manu> i have 8.04 on it now
[09:14] <jim_p> rww, great minds meet :P
[09:15]  * rww high-fives jim_p
[09:15] <Gnea> ^Manu: as a general rule of thumb, anyway.
[09:15] <jim_p> lmao
[09:15] <Rapture> ^Manu: did you ever try to boot from a LiveUSB?
[09:15] <^Manu> actually, i used 16x sorry
[09:15] <^Manu> i never use 24x
[09:15] <Zine> jim_p, yep the installer window says "Configuring apt" and "scanning the mirrors..."
[09:15] <faileas> ^Manu: maybe use unetbootin to bootstrap an install and go from there?
[09:15] <Sorethumb> I can get my webcam (Logitech Quickcam Pro) to work with local applications. But, when I try, Stickam for example, no image shows...?
[09:15] <faileas> and IIRC it works from ISOs too
[09:15] <rww> Zine: pull out the cable / turn off wireless.
[09:15] <^Manu> yeah someone just told me about unetbootin a short while ago..
[09:15] <Katangawise> adam7, if it is working - don't touch, ah? ;) Ok. Thank you a lot!
[09:16] <Zine> rww...kk...will do.
[09:16] <decomp_> reportingsjr: did you run the nvidia install tool? did you have an nvidia card before that could be leaving configuration settings in the xorg.conf?
[09:16] <faileas> *with
[09:16] <Gnea> ^Manu: but could you also, PLEASE, stop using these short little sentences so much? you're creating a lot of traffic. it makes it very difficult to keep up and to be able to help you out. you can use a larger buffer, like what I'm doing right now, and still get the message across.
[09:16] <^Manu> sounds easier than syslinux, which i couldn't make work proerly..
[09:16] <^Manu> i had various degrees of 'almost working'
[09:16] <adam7> Katangawise: yep :) it's a common problem with most wireless cards in linux
[09:16] <reportingsjr> decomp_: this is the only card I've had in this computer. What nvidia install tool?
[09:16] <adam7> ^Manu: what was the problem with the usb key?
[09:16] <BentFrank> I have a Kubuntu server running samba and Windows 2000 clients.  Users map a network drive to my share point.  The share point directory has perms:  "drwsrwsr-x  6 dmb fourth" where dmb is a user name and fourth is a group.  All users are in group fourth.  Someone on a client makes a folder using Windows Explorer in this directory.  The new folder has perms "drwxrwsrwx  2 brb fourth".  Shouldn't the new directory have perms
[09:17] <^Manu> gnea: sorry, just trying to respond to all 4 or so of you talking asking different things :)
[09:17] <Gnea> BentFrank: did you use SWAT to setup samba?
[09:17] <Rapture> GRR... i can't find a single site that explains printer setup in ubuntu-server :(
[09:17] <Gnea> ^Manu: I understand, but then you wind up saying the same thing over and over and over and over :)
[09:18] <decomp_> reportingsjr: ok you downloaded the nvidia driver and installed it. Probably dont need to run that install tool. I think it edits your xorg automatically. Do you see the nvidia control panel in your menu anywhere? think its nvidia-settings or something from console
[09:18] <^Manu> adam: syslinux booted, started the kubuntu is loading progress indicator, and then froze...
[09:18] <adam7> Rapture: samba
[09:18] <BentFrank> Gnea:  I don't know, what is swap?  A consultant set it up.
[09:18] <Gnea> Rapture: http://localhost:631/
[09:18] <^Manu> gnea: sorry :P .. 3 days on this, i'm starting to lose my sanity..
[09:18] <Gnea> !swat | BentFrank
[09:18] <Rapture> adam7: i know, but ubuntu doesn't even see the printer... or atleast i dunno how to tell
[09:18] <kaneda_> !swap | BentFrank
[09:18] <genii> Gnea: I'm pretty sure thats CUPS and not SWAT
[09:18] <adam7> Rapture: is it a USB printer? and is it plugged in? (sorry, just have to check :)
[09:18] <^Manu> anyway, it sounds like my next approach is to use 8.10 alternate, and install from within 8.04.. that's possible?
[09:19] <Rapture> adam7: yes and yes
[09:19] <genii> Gnea: nvm mis-read the recipient
[09:19] <Gnea> BentFrank: SWAT is a web-interface that has a bajillion different options for tweaking samba
[09:19] <Gnea> genii: np
[09:19] <nbeebo> dont like that vlc went qt...
[09:19] <adam7> Rapture: did you go to localhost:631 in your web browser?
[09:19] <rww> !ot | nbeebo
[09:19] <Rapture> adam7: i got this working in Ubuntu-Desktop, but that has a nice GUI to work with.. and my daughter hosed my extra monitor, so I'm SSH'ed into the box right now
[09:19] <nbeebo> im banned there lol
[09:20] <evowill> Rapture: there are a couple guides in the forums.
[09:20] <Sorethumb> I can get my webcam (Logitech Quickcam Pro) to work with local applications. But, when I try, Stickam for example, no image shows...?
[09:20] <Gnea> Sorethumb: what's stickam?
[09:20] <Rapture> adam7: I can't remotely login on that port
[09:21] <adam7> Rapture: how much do you know about ssh port tunneling?
[09:21] <Sorethumb> Gnea: Kinda like myspace with webcams, I use it to keep in touch with friends at college.
[09:21] <genii> BentFrank: Does putting url in server box of:   http://localhost:901           bring up a control panel or login screen of sorts?
[09:21] <Rapture> adam7: only enough to keep my VPN up at work..
[09:21] <decomp_> Rapture: i have 3 partitions: /dev/sda1, ext3, 262337MB, /dev/sda2. ntfs, 45568MB for win, and /dev/sda5,swap,12165MB
[09:21] <Alex_Gaynor> I've had a problem over the past couple of weeks where when using Wifi Ubuntu hard crashes randomly
[09:21] <Jordan_U> ^Manu, If the upgrade doesn't work you can also try installing from the alternate CD using a different ( text based, not a liveCD ) installer
[09:21] <Rapture> decomp_: holy crap that's a huge swap
[09:21] <adam7> Rapture: ok, forward 631 from the server to your local machine -- I'll see if I can find the command you need
[09:21] <Gnea> Sorethumb: I don't see it in the repositories. you might want to check out cheese.
[09:21] <Rapture> adam7: thanx
[09:21] <Sifre> heyyyyy Help ZNC
[09:21] <Alex_Gaynor> I have an intel 4965 chip and it just hard crashes for me at arbitrary times
[09:21] <Sifre> for ubuntu
[09:21] <decomp_> Rapture: must have been created by the last install ;)
[09:21] <^Manu> cool, that might work better.
[09:22] <Sifre> how to install ZNC?
[09:22] <evowill> Rapture: The biggest help is going to be 'man lpadmin'
[09:22] <Sifre> ubuntu
[09:22] <^Manu> we'll see where i die this time :)
[09:22] <Sorethumb> Gnea: It's a web app.
[09:22] <itzhero> I have created a shell script, but I want to use the killall command to kill transmission after a sleep time of 5h, how do I allow it to run with root privledges?
[09:22] <Rapture> evowill: kk, i'll check it out
[09:22] <decomp_> Rapture: damn never saw that - 12gb? thats enormous. I need to do something about that
[09:22] <itzhero> running sudo bash script.sh doesn't work
[09:22] <Sifre> heyyy
[09:22] <Gnea> Sorethumb: is there an Ubuntu package of it?
[09:22] <evowill> But if you can use ssh to get to your machine, you can also use that as a socks proxy to reach the web interface
[09:22] <Sifre> how to install ZNC? IRC Bouncer
[09:22] <reportingsjr> decomp_: sorry about that. Yeah, nvidia x server settings
[09:23] <Jordan_U> itzhero, Why do you need root privileges to kill transmission?
[09:23] <Sorethumb> Gnea: It runs through the browser, it's a website.
[09:23] <reportingsjr> but it says that it's not working with x so I need to run a program, but I did that and it still did nothing
[09:23] <adam7> Rapture: ssh -L 63100:remoteserver:631 username@remoteserver
[09:23] <Rapture> decomp_: hmm, well, my suggestion would be to delete/resize that swap, but for the grub issue, i'd try a grub-install on sda and include your winblows install in it
[09:23] <decomp_> reportingsjr: ok cool, you should beable to set dual head there. think its a checkbox.
[09:23] <itzhero> Jordan_U: killall transmission doesn't kill it :/
[09:23] <adam7> Rapture: where remoteserver is the address of the server you are ssh'ed into and username is your username
[09:23] <Sifre> HEYY
[09:23] <Gnea> Sorethumb: url?
[09:23] <Jordan_U> itzhero, And sudo killall does?
[09:23] <adam7> Sifre: we heard you the first time :)
[09:23] <Rapture> adam7: is there a way to do it in Putty (using a vista box atm)?
[09:24] <Gnea> !caps | Sifre
[09:24] <Sifre> ok
[09:24] <Sifre> sorry
[09:24] <adam7> Rapture: oh, yes. Putty can do it too, it's in the first box that pops up
[09:24] <Sorethumb> Gnea: www.stickam.com
[09:24] <itzhero> Jordan_U: hmm, it did when i tried it a few minutes ago.  now i can't kill it that way
[09:24] <decomp_> Rapture: AHA! ive been trying to put it on /dev/sda1 so you are saying try to grub-install on /dev/sda2 (ntfs partition?)
[09:25] <puppetpal> i think i might be having the same problem as decomp
[09:25] <genii> You shouldn't put grub on ANY  sub-partition, just the mbr
[09:25] <Sifre> help me
[09:25] <itzhero> Jordan_U: I can only kill it after running "ps" command
[09:25] <adam7> !ask | Sifre
[09:25] <Rapture> decomp_: no, just sda... grub writes to the MBR, which is a partition, but not readily visible
[09:25] <Sifre> how to install znc? irc Bouncer
[09:25] <reportingsjr> decomp_: I get.. "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.   If you do, talk to Sifre
[09:26] <Sifre> :)
[09:26] <genii> !info znc
[09:26] <Sifre> hmm
[09:26] <adam7> !turkish
[09:26] <Sifre> tþkler
[09:26] <Sifre> thanks
[09:26] <genii> Sifre: Enable universe repo and then do it usual way, from package manager
[09:27] <Sifre> how
[09:27] <Sifre> show me command
[09:27] <evowill> Sifre: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware
[09:27] <decomp_> reportingsjr: drop to a console and first backup your /etc/xorg.conf file. Then try running 'nvidia-config' or something like that, sorry my box is unavailable right now due to my grub problem :) i dont have the exact syntax. That should write a new xorg.conf for you.
[09:27] <Sifre> ým new in ubuntu
[09:27] <Sifre> my vps ubuntu
[09:27] <Sifre> ok
[09:27] <Gnea> Sorethumb: I'm surprised you can even get the site to stay loaded for more thna a few minutes
[09:27] <Gnea> d'oh!
[09:27] <Rapture> adam7: i can ssh into the box on port 22, i'm not sure what 631 is..
[09:27] <reportingsjr> decomp_: ah, ok
[09:27] <unimatrix9> hi ther
[09:28] <genii> Sifre: In Add/Remove programs it has a place to specify repositories
[09:28] <unimatrix9> any one who owns a dell mininote with ubuntu?
[09:28] <adam7> Rapture: 631 is the samba printer configuration utility port
[09:28] <Jordan_U> itzhero, Does " killall -HUP transmission " ( NOT as root ) work ?
[09:28] <Rapture> ah
[09:28] <rww> !anyone | unimatrix9
[09:28] <unimatrix9> does any one here owns a dell mininote with ubuntu preinstalled?
[09:28] <Rapture> adam7: i tried HTTPS to it and it says the page is "temporarily down"
[09:28] <itzhero> Jordan_U: thanks, that worked :)
[09:29] <ziroday> unimatrix9: what is your exact problem?
[09:29] <unimatrix9> not really a problem
[09:29] <Sifre> genii no pc my vos
[09:29] <unimatrix9> just to ask how it works
[09:29] <itzhero> Jordan_U: just curious, what does the -HUP switch do?
[09:29] <Rapture> maybe i'm missing a samba install?
[09:29] <BentFrank> Gnea:  I read those links.  They don't even mention swat.  Anyway, this is an OS issue I think.  Doesn't suid on a dir mean all files and dirs created below it will have same owner and including suid?
[09:29] <ziroday> unimatrix9: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, you'll get better responses there :)
[09:29] <genii> Sifre: No what your what?
[09:30] <quatar-it> hi all.
[09:30] <quatar-it> can anyone of you understand why all the videos i see are displayed darker than two or three days ago? It's not an LCD setting, 'cause i can't manage those...
[09:30] <quatar-it> It applies to all sources: streaming in flash applet, kinodv, totem, vlc... But my screen isn't darker. Only videos...
[09:30] <unimatrix9> ziroday, that is if someone over there has one, and most likely there are more people over here
[09:30] <rww> BentFrank: it makes them have the same group ID, not user ID.
[09:30] <ziroday> unimatrix9: yes, however this is not the correct place either
[09:30] <BentFrank> That's sgid isn;t it?
[09:30] <hardcampa> itzhero usually the HUP switch reloads the config in programs
[09:30] <evowill> Rapture: with lpadmin, you can add and manage printers from the command line
[09:30] <Rapture> adam7: do i need to enable something in smb.conf for the printer config page to be enabled?
[09:30] <centr0> typically what interface would i put "pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules"?  i hear 2 different interfaces..  lo or eth0.
[09:31] <Rapture> evowill: kk
[09:31] <hardcampa> itzhero but that's actually up to the programmer to implement as he wants.
[09:31] <adam7> Rapture: I don't think so
[09:31] <rww> BentFrank: oh. Yes. setgid on directories does that. setuid on directories is ignored, according to Wikipedia.
[09:31] <adam7> Rapture: it seems to work on mine without messing with any sambaish stuff
[09:31] <ziroday> centr0: erm lo is your loopback device, and eth0 is your ethernet connection
[09:31] <itzhero> hmm, well it worked when i first tried it, but its no longer working :/
[09:31] <BentFrank> Thanks rww.
[09:31] <genii> Sifre: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu for how to enable the Universe repository.
[09:32] <Sifre> checking for perl_alloc in -lperl... Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lperl
[09:32] <Sifre> no
[09:32] <Sifre> configure: error: Could not find libperl. Try --disable-perl
[09:32] <Rapture> evowill,adam7: is there a way to check to see if ubuntu even sees the printer?
[09:32] <itzhero> i found out why...i was running it too soon.  killall transmission works when transmission has been running for about 15sec
[09:32] <centr0> ziroday: ubuntu's doc site is telling me to put them in eth0, my web host site is telling me to put it in lo.  and im stuck as to which one if not both to put my pre-up line in.
[09:32] <Sifre> geni
[09:32] <Sifre> :)
[09:32] <reportingsjr> decomp_: that command didn't work, I have the same exact thing as before
[09:32] <Sifre> no my computer
[09:32] <ziroday> centr0: what exactly are you trying to do?
[09:32] <adam7> Rapture: lshw
[09:32] <Sifre> vps ok:)
[09:32] <genii> Sifre: No need to try and compile it. There is a package.
[09:32] <adam7> Rapture: or lsusb
[09:32] <centr0> ziroday: start iptables at startup.
[09:32] <Rapture> thanx
[09:33] <Elevator_Hazard> What should I do if I can see that my NIC is getting the wake on lan packet (it blinks at me when I send it) but does not wake up..? There's no option in the bios for it, and using the ethtool command (debian) it says that wake on lan is enabled...
[09:33] <decomp_> reportingsjr: was that the correct command? did it execute a script or anything?
[09:33] <Sifre> how
[09:33] <Rapture> forgot about that :D
[09:33] <nbeebo> how do i do so output of speakers become input of microphone?
[09:33] <ziroday> centr0: right, you will probably want iptables working on eth0, its not going to do much good on lo
[09:33] <evowill> Rapture lpinfo -v
[09:33] <centr0> ziroday: ty
[09:33] <decomp_> reportingsjr: one sec im hitting the nvidia site since i cant get to mine
[09:33] <genii> Sifre: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu for how to enable the Universe repository. This will make znc available to install. Then use Synaptic to just install it.
[09:33] <cq> hello, i'm trying to isntall ubuntu from a netinstall USB stick... the installation works, grub installs, but then it doesn't boot.
[09:33] <cq> Then I  run the super grub bootdisk, which finds my linux installation, but hangs on Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"...
[09:34] <cq> any ideas?
[09:34] <ziroday> cq: have you selected your BIOS to boot from the usb drive?
[09:34] <decomp_> reportingsjr: did you try the ubuntu repo for the nvidia driver or just go straight to nvidia.com
[09:34] <ziroday> cq: wait nevermind, misread :)
[09:34] <cq> I can boot from the USB fine, jsut when I try to boot from the SATA drives it hangs...
[09:35] <reportingsjr> decomp_: i got it through the restricted drivers app
[09:35] <Rapture> evowill: direct usb://HP/psc%201200%20series?serial=CN456G32915H
[09:35] <genii> cq: Sounds like you're mising the sata chipset driver
[09:35] <decomp_> reportingsjr: aha ok cool.
[09:35] <Rapture> evowill: direct hp:/usb/psc_1200_series?serial=CN456G32915H
[09:35] <decomp_> one sec
[09:35] <decomp_> reportingsjr: which card you have? GeForce 7300?
[09:36] <cq> genii: ok, what do I need to do? use a special netinstall installation, or a different live image?
[09:36] <zine_> Hi..I just installed 8.10, but on booting the PC, GRUB doesn't show any entry for Ubuntu.! It only shows Ubuntu 8.10 memtest86+ and Windows XP.Help.!!
[09:36] <amerinese> hey i think i might have a bug, but does anyone else put their desktop menu bars at the top with the application-places-system bar at the top and the open programs bar underneath that?  it's always saved in the wrong order so every time i restart i have to rearrange it again
[09:36] <DarkKnight> hey to access a web page i need to see that my firefox has jre 1.5 or higher and flash support and no popup blocker....how do i get these
[09:36] <evowill> Rapture : yes, you will need to use lpadmin with direct usb://HP/psc%201200%20series?serial=CN456G32915H
[09:36] <Jordan_U> itzhero, It sends a SIGHUP to the process instead of a SIGINT. SIGINT means the process should quit itself ( I don't know why transmission doesn't ) SIGHUP tells the process that there has been a hangup, that the controlling terminal has gone away. If you start transmission from a terminal you should notice that ctrl+C ( which sends a SIGINT ) does not cause transmission to exit but closing the terminal does
[09:36] <cq> and: who's missing it? after the ubuntu installation, the reboot doesn't even show the grub menu...
[09:36] <genii> cq: You can boot to live cd, edit the intramfs conf file to include the driver you need, then rebuild the initrd
[09:37] <cq> hm, there are no images with all drivers included somewhere?
[09:37] <cq> or is that easy to do?
[09:37] <itzhero> Jordan_U: Thank you.  It seems to be working now -- if not I'll just keep working with it.
[09:37] <decomp_> reportingsjr: what you want i believe is called 'Xinerama'. Thats what i use. And i see a report here that it broke in intrepid. Take a look here:
[09:37] <jim_p> i have a laptop here that i am sure its satans laptop! it has a bluetooth button, i press it, and bluetooth does not start, neither i can see something in lspci/lsusb. any ideas?
[09:37] <decomp_> http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=1886275
[09:37] <ubuntu> neither ubuntu or the gparted boot CD are detecing either of my hard drives, nor my sata DVD burner. they're all detected by the bios and detected by windows. what's going on?
[09:38] <jim_p> ubuntu, what mobo are they on?
[09:38] <Jordan_U> itzhero, np, interestingly if you send 3 SIGINTs transmission does exit, not sure if that's a bug or a feature.
[09:38] <ubuntu> jim_p: the model?
 What is the computer make/model/ and what version of Ubuntu?
[09:38] <ziroday> jim_p: is the bluetooth enabled in the BIOS?
[09:39] <jim_p> ubuntu, nevermind, pastebin the output of lspci

[09:39] <jim_p> ziroday, there is no such option in bios. the button does turn blue when pressed

 If possible, you may want to try 8.10
[09:40] <Rapture> adam7: odd, i fixed the login issue.. or i thought: 403 Forbidden
[09:40] <zine_> Hi..I just installed 8.10, but on booting the PC, GRUB doesn't show any entry for Ubuntu.! It only shows Ubuntu 8.10 memtest86+ and Windows XP.Help.!!
[09:41] <jim_p> ubuntu, the chipset of the mobo IS NOT supported by hardys kernel. you will need a distro with 2.6.25 for p45 support
[09:41] <ziroday> jim_p: doesn't appear in lspci?
[09:41] <jim_p> *2.6.25 at least

[09:42] <ubuntu> yeah
[09:42] <genii> cq: First find what driver module you need. What is the chipset?
[09:42] <reportingsjr> decomp: you'd think something like that would be fixed by now :(
[09:42] <jim_p> ubuntu, i would say "try 8.10 that has 2.6.27 kernel) but its xorg 1.5 and ati will disappoint you. so...
[09:42] <adam7> Rapture: oh, you might have to be accessing it from <IP_ADDRESS> -- I don't think it's open to the internet
[09:42] <ziroday> jim_p: the only other idea is to poke around /proc or that it might be under lsusb but besides that *shrug*
[09:43] <cwillu> how do you turn off emulation of 3 button mice?  I've got a game that uses all three buttons, and the emulation is screwing it up
[09:43] <rww_> adam7, Rapture: It's not. cups binds to loopback by default.
[09:43] <jim_p> ziroday, will you give me a sec to pastebin lspci and lsusb?
[09:43] <ubuntu> jim_p if it can display an image on the screen then it's good enough for me
[09:43] <decomp> reportingsjr: yeah, check the ubuntu forums or bug list. Maube there is a patch
[09:43] <ubuntu> gah
[09:43] <Jordan_U> jim_p, 8.10 works with fglrx, it has since the late beta IIRC
[09:43] <ziroday> jim_p: sure :)
[09:43] <jim_p> ubuntu, what ati is it?
[09:43] <Rapture> rww_: i changed cups.conf to: Listen *:631
[09:44] <genii> cq: A fast way for the initramfs without rebuilding it is: boot to livecd. mount the hd / somewhere. then make a file in the mounted /etc/initramfs-tools   called init, and make it executable. Then in the file the command to load the driver. Like:  modprobe sata_nv                      or so
[09:44] <jim_p> Jordan_U, yea i have seen it how it works in phoronix forums
[09:44] <nbeebo> sometimes i get incredibly angry at ubuntu, just so you all know
[09:44] <jim_p> ubuntu1, lspci | grep VGA
[09:44] <Rapture> nbeebo me too
[09:44] <ubuntu1> jim_p: it's a 3870
[09:44] <nbeebo> good
[09:44] <DarkKnight> hey to access a web page i need to see that my firefox has jre 1.5 or higher and flash support and no popup blocker....how do i get these
[09:44] <rww_> Rapture: stupid question, but did you restart cups after doing that
[09:44] <cq> genii: its an msi ms-7521 board, g45m
[09:44] <Rapture> yes
[09:45] <cads> hello I'd like to install xfce and the themes that come with xubuntu, but I don't want xubuntu to take over and run extra things during startup or replace my gdm.. which package should I install for that?
[09:45] <ziroday> DarkKnight: do you have flash and java installed?
[09:45] <Rapture> rww_: /etc/inetd.d/cups restart
[09:45] <ziroday> cads: you can install xubuntu-artwork
[09:45] <ziroday> cads: as well as xfce
[09:45] <jim_p> ubuntu1, you can try your luck with radeon or radeonhd, or even vesa if your monitor is not wide. in any way, i would not advise installing 8.10 under these conditions
[09:45] <adam7> Rapture: /etc/init.d/cups restart
[09:45] <cads> i'll try that ziroday
[09:46] <jim_p> Jordan_U, are you on ati as well?
[09:46] <genii> cq: That one has an intel ICH10r chipset.
[09:46] <cads> like the pun on oldschool 0-day warez, ziro :D
[09:46] <Jordan_U> jim_p, On my laptop, yes
[09:46] <ubuntu1> is there any way to shoehorn the updated kernel into hardy?
[09:46] <jim_p> cq, you also need a 2.6.25 kernel!
[09:46] <Rapture> adam7: same issue
[09:47] <jim_p> ubuntu1, in live mode, without installing ? no
[09:47] <ziroday> cads: mmhm, nobody can take me seriously :)
[09:47] <Rapture> grr! if my daughter hadn't thrown her bottle at my monitor, I wouldn't have this problem..
[09:47] <Rapture> pretty light show though
[09:47] <jim_p> Jordan_U, and it works with xorg 1.5?
[09:47] <unimatrix9> yes nick we take you seriously :P
[09:47] <Jordan_U> jim_p, Yes
[09:48] <Rapture> FYI: CRT monitors and liquids DO NOT MIX!
[09:48] <DarkKnight> ziroday; how do i check whether i installed them and the type of version
[09:48] <jim_p> Jordan_U, with fglrx?
[09:48] <Jordan_U> jim_p, Yes
[09:48] <ziroday> DarkKnight: you can do apt-cache policy <package name?
[09:48] <jim_p> it seems i live in a paralel universe then :P
[09:48] <jim_p> ziroday, i promised something, sorry. let me ssh in
[09:48] <ubuntu1> jim_p: it worked before with my sata drives in AHCI mode, why not now?
[09:49] <DarkKnight> Ziroday; didnt get you..why do i have to use apt-cache
[09:49] <jim_p> ubuntu1, what worked before?
[09:49] <cq> weird, jsut tried the debian installer from stable, it doesn't even see the disks
[09:49] <ziroday> !version | DarkKnight see the second command
[09:49] <BarryManilow> I am a version 1.1.0 PyBorg
[09:49] <cq> the ubuntu installer sees them
[09:49] <cq> then again, debian stable is old, I'll try testing...
[09:49] <ubuntu1> jim_p: installation, etc. i had a fully functional installation of ubuntu
[09:49] <jim_p> cq, debian stable's kernel is as old as the pyramids in egypt
[09:49] <DarkKnight> Ziroday; i am using hardy..
[09:50] <genii> cq: The driver name should be: ahci
[09:50] <jim_p> ubuntu1, then enable achi
[09:50] <DarkKnight> Ziroday; i was asking which version of java and flash to install
[09:50] <ubuntu1> ah, but then i can't install windows XP
[09:50] <ubuntu1> which is why i turned it off
[09:50] <ziroday> DarkKnight: okay, so you want to install java and flash?
[09:51] <jim_p> ubuntu1, use f6 to load the achi drivers when prompted... or make another bootable cd with xp containing the drivers. i can show you how
[09:51] <cq> thanks... I'll give debian testing a shot, that kernel should be fairly new, otherwise I'll have to do what you suggested
[09:51] <jim_p> jim_p, with nlite :P
[09:51] <genii> ubuntu1: Boot to your motherboard cd and make the XP driver floppy. Then use the F6 of XP install to use the floppy
[09:51] <ubuntu1> jim_p: i'm pretty sure i need a floppy though, and i don't have a floppy drive nor any floppy disks
[09:51] <jim_p> cq, the debian testing is on 2.6.26
[09:51] <jim_p> in case you need something specific
[09:52] <A4Tech> all Hi, I'm a little Off topic, to the bot
[09:52] <A4Tech> ubottu
[09:52] <A4Tech> plug encyclopedia supports so that they can only use registered users?
[09:52] <jim_p> ubuntu1, use nlite then to inject the drivers to the installation cd... or let me find that tutorial
[09:52] <genii> jim_p: Apologies didn't see your f6 recommendation for manual install of driver
[09:52] <jim_p> lol genii
[09:54] <hanafi> any web for how to run linux mint though Qemu? i have search at googleubuntu.com, but didn't get good answer. i'm using kubuntu interpid ibex
[09:54] <evowill> DarkKnight: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[09:54] <rww_> !mintsupport | hanafi
[09:54] <ubuntu1> jim_p: if only it were that easy.... my only windows installation (vista) doesn't boot and i don't have the reapir dvd. do anything i do must be done from within linux
[09:54] <genii> A4Tech: The bot is not so complex they can answer natural language questions
[09:54] <jim_p> ubuntu1, http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/33/SESSID=204ad1b9069093e64d68168d20b4d0cc/
[09:55] <cads> do you guys know about installing xen?
[09:55] <hanafi> rww : paste here ?
[09:55] <DarkKnight> Ziroday, evowill; not exactly java..the website says i require javascript, cookies must be enabled, jre 1.5 or higher, flash-plugins
[09:55] <A4Tech> I ask you:)
[09:55] <jim_p> how do i use pastebinit?
[09:55] <rww> !mintsupport | hanafi
[09:55] <ziroday> DarkKnight: what site?
[09:55] <rww> there we go :)
[09:56] <ziroday> DarkKnight: also see !java and !flash
[09:56] <hanafi> rww : thanks mate.
[09:56] <jeff_> hi
[09:56] <jim_p> ubuntu1, try another distro with the 2.6.27 kernel and without xorg 1.5                  sidux that is
[09:56] <davit> Hello can someone here help me with a WINE problem, when I click on an exe file and try to run under WINE it doesn't even run Wine doesn't even open up
[09:56] <rww> A4Tech: I'm not sure what you're asking. Please rephrase your question.
[09:56] <DarkKnight> Ziroday; its a infosys site.. for students...well if you have to see then you have to login
[09:57] <jim_p> davit, run it from the terminal and look for any errors
[09:57] <quatar-it> !log
[09:57] <ziroday> DarkKnight: ah right, well as long as you have flash and java installed you should be fune
[09:57] <jim_p> how do i use pastebinit?
[09:57] <genii> A4Tech: eg: what is "plug encyclopedia supports"   or so
[09:57] <DarkKnight> Ziroday; so how do i know whether these are installed
[09:57] <chipt4_> i was thinking about trying to use eAccelerator with nginx, anyone have experience?
[09:57] <evowill> DarkKnight: I sent you a PM
[09:57] <davit> Hello can someone here help me with a WINE problem, when I click on an exe file and try to run under WINE it doesn't even run Wine doesn't even open up
[09:57] <A4Tech> geni I want to configure plug-encyclopedia. so that the boat would be responsible only to registered users
[09:57] <rww> DarkKnight: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras will install flash, java, and other useful non-free stuff.
[09:58] <ziroday> DarkKnight: easiest way is to just try and reinstall them, synaptic/apt-get will tell you if they are already installed
[09:58] <A4Tech> genii or even better than those I will appoint
[09:58] <DarkKnight> rww, ziroday; are you sure that if i get these installed then my firefox ont crash..like it used to before
[09:58] <davit> Hello can someone here help me with a WINE problem, when I click on an exe file and try to run under WINE it doesn't even run Wine doesn't even open up
[09:58] <jim_p> ziroday, http://pastebin.com/d3759d9ab
[09:59] <ziroday> DarkKnight: it shouldn't do
[09:59] <genii> !info plug-encyclopedia
[09:59] <rww> DarkKnight: I have no idea why your Firefox used to crash, but I have ubuntu-restricted-extras, flashplugin-nonfree, and sun java installed, and get no crashes.
[09:59] <DarkKnight> Ziroday; fine..thank you
[09:59] <quatar-it> hi all. will someone solve a problem like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=610471 (videos displayed darkly in ubuntu 8.04, randomly or definively!?). Note that the last answer doesn't work for me!
[09:59]  * Rapture waves goodnight to everyone.
[09:59] <genii> A4Tech: That is not any package in Ubuntu
[09:59] <rww> genii: A4Tech is talking about plugins to ubottu.
[09:59] <Rapture> thanx for all the help... i'll figure out this printer thing tommorrow
[09:59] <ziroday> jim_p: yeah I can't see it either. Strange
[10:00] <A4Tech> rww heh...
[10:00] <rww> genii: as far as I can tell, anyway
[10:00] <ubuntu1> davit what happens when you go to the directory in a console and type "wine programname"?
[10:00] <rww> A4Tech: is that correct? or am I still misunderstanding you?
[10:00] <jim_p> ziroday, it mentions some cardbus something but it has no input of cards. unless it means the pcmcia ones
[10:00] <davit> ubuntu1: I've never done that
[10:01] <yeus> hi guys short question: is anyone here familiar with the Asus P5B motherboard and its realted software on windows, like the AI-suite for example, which enables overclocking by software, manual selection of CPU-speeds, fan control, etc...  is there any way to make this work on linux?
[10:01] <jim_p> yeus, no
[10:01] <yeus> actually i guess the question is not as short as I said :)
[10:01] <ubuntu1> davit try it now. i have no clue what's causing your problem but whenever a wine program doesn't start i just do it from the console and it usually works
[10:01] <jim_p> yeus, not even under wine
[10:01] <A4Tech> rww please /join #newsystems
[10:02] <rww> yeus: I have an Asus P5K-E. I don't think there's a way to overclock by software with Linux, so I do it from the BIOS. Temperature and fan sensors work with lm-sensors
[10:02] <rww> A4Tech: no
[10:02] <jim_p> yeus, i am sure there are relevant programs for fan control and maybe cpu speed
[10:02] <A4Tech> thx...
[10:03] <jim_p> quatar-it, try some other video output
[10:03] <davit> ubuntu1: How should I type command "sudo wine "name""
[10:03] <rww> A4Tech: If you're looking for help with supybot/ubottu, ask in #supybot on this server, not here. If I misunderstood your question, please attempt to ask your question in readable English or tell us your native language so we can redirect you to a foreign-language Ubuntu support channel.
[10:03] <jim_p> davit, wine something.exe             no sudo
[10:04] <quatar-it> jim: flash, totem, vlc, kino, .. the same problem!
[10:04] <yeus> ah..  jim_p any suggestions for a google search string? because my searches bring me only rubbish
[10:04] <quatar-it> jim_p: flash, totem, vlc, kino, .. the same problem!
[10:04] <jim_p> yeus, seperate what each program can do and ask me for the relevant ont
[10:04] <jim_p> one
[10:04] <davit> Ubuntu1: It wont let me iso is mounted
[10:05] <ubuntu1> it won't let you?
[10:05] <ubuntu1> how?
[10:05] <jim_p> quatar-it, flash??!?!?! even flash videos on web pages appear dark?
[10:05] <ultratek> when i change the workgroup name in samba's smb.conf file does typing it in capital letters work the same as it does on vista or do i have to designate that the workkgroup name uses capital letters....to say... can i just type in HOME in the conf file?
[10:05] <ubuntu1> be specific
[10:05] <davit> archive://file%3A%2F%2F%2Fhome%2Fdavit%2FUNREAL.TOURNAMENT.2004.DVD-DEViANCE%2Fdev-u4dv.iso/
[10:05] <jim_p> ultratek, yes possibly
[10:06] <yeus> I would like a program which enables me to control cpu-speed and one which does that automatically taking the current workload into account
[10:06] <quatar-it> jim_p: i think. Unfortunately, i can't prove that in an objective way. It's how i do percieve it!
[10:06] <yeus> the main reason I am asking for this is energy-saving :)
[10:06] <ubuntu1> davit: what program re you trying to run?
[10:06] <rww> yeus: powernowd will automatically reduce the CPU speed of most modern CPUs when full speed is not needed. powernowd is installed by default in Ubuntu.
[10:06] <ultratek> jim_P cuz my workgroup is HOME as it has to be capital letters in vista... will samba under stand this...because i still cannot see the other windows pc on ubuntu
[10:07] <jim_p> yeus, cpu frequency scaling! can be done if you are patient! did it on my bros laptop. it goes to 800Mhz to 1600 to 1800. 3 steps only, but its worth it
[10:07] <rww> yeus: see also the "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor" GNOME panel applet, which allows you to manually control powernowd.
[10:07] <jim_p> ultratek, write it in capitals
[10:07] <davit> ubuntu1: Im having trouble running UT2004 off the dvd a friend told me to make an iso of it and try it like that and try like that but still not working so Im tring to install through WINE
[10:07] <jim_p> quatar-it, what vga are you on?
[10:08] <ultratek> jim_P: it is in capital letters..i still dont undersatand why it cant see the other machines on my network....i gave up on this a couple of weeks ago...just now getting back into it today
[10:08] <yeus> kewl thx rww, jim_p
[10:08] <gazotem> Didn't know pidgin had a nice IRC interface
[10:08] <quatar-it> jim_p: i'm not so good with those term... how can i detect?
[10:08] <jim_p> yeus, here             http://polishlinux.org/linux/debian/green-pcs-cpu-frequency-scaling-in-linux/
[10:09] <ubuntu1> davit: and the iso is mouted and such? wine can't open an iso file
[10:09] <jim_p> yeus, modules and cfg files are the same
[10:09] <jim_p> ultratek, can you install swat and configure your samba there?
[10:09] <rww> davit: I'm assuming you mounted the iso using Gnome's Archive Mounter? Don't do that; use the command-line method.
[10:09] <ultratek> i do have swat install
[10:09] <rww> !iso | davit
[10:09] <jim_p> quatar-it, lspci | grep VGA
[10:09] <ultratek> jim_p: how do i access swat? i am new to linux
[10:10] <davit> ubuntu1: The WINE problem is not isolated to this exe though it's been giving me problems past few days I haven't been able to open an exe I've downloaded
[10:10] <jim_p> ultratek, give me a sec. it was mentioned earlier that it listens to some port
[10:10] <quatar-it> jim_p : 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86M [GeForce 8400M GT] (rev a1)
[10:10] <ultratek> hmm
[10:11] <jim_p> ultratek, http://localhost:901
[10:12] <jim_p> quatar-it, did you install the drivers for it?
[10:12] <jim_p> quatar-it, glxinfo | grep direct
[10:13] <quatar-it> jim_p: it says "yes"
[10:13] <chipt4_> i was thinking about trying to use eAccelerator with nginx, anyone have experience?
[10:14] <jim_p> quatar-it, gstreamer-properties > video > 1st dropdown menu > switch to "no xv"
[10:14] <davit> ubottu: Ok I mounted using command line and it solved my problem thanks guys, one question how do I create folders in my /media/ folder to mount to I forgot lol
[10:14] <quatar-it> jim_p for what concerns video, in past days i installed ffmpeg mencoder ffmpeg2theora dvgrab , and put at startup the modules raw1394 video1394 dv1394 . But suddenly after nothing happened, just after a day ...
[10:14] <rww> davit: sudo mkdir /media/directoryname
[10:15] <jim_p> :|
[10:15] <quatar-it> jim_p : what "no xv" is going to do?
[10:15] <jim_p> it will change how video is rendered
[10:16] <quatar-it> jim_p: need to restart to test its working?
[10:16] <quatar-it> or only to restart x?
[10:16] <davit> rww: Thanks can't belive I forgot that lol I was tring cd /media/foldername
[10:16] <jim_p> quatar-it, there is a test button there
[10:16] <rww> davit: cd is Change Directory :)
[10:16] <quatar-it> yes, but i'm going to test new settings with a simple video of mine..
[10:17] <jim_p> quatar-it, ok
[10:17] <davit> rww: Ya lol thought it was create directory
[10:17] <quatar-it> so, should restart?
[10:17] <jim_p> quatar-it, does the test video appear dark?
[10:18] <quatar-it> jim_p: no, i think
[10:18] <davit> I don't understand how it installs so easily in wine but I get so many problems with linux shell
[10:18] <jim_p> quatar-it, then play another video with some player
[10:19] <davit> ubuntu1: I mounted through command line and it's working fine I was using archive mounter before
[10:20] <quatar-it> jim_p: even not my reference video! thanks! i owe you ten or fifteen minutes!
[10:20] <jim_p> quatar-it, what did i do?
[10:21] <gazotem> So I've been using Ubuntu(linux) for bought 2 years and yesterday I did a fresh install (8.10) and did NOT install the fglrx proprietary driver for ATI and my video playback and graphic speed was better compiz ran out of box, what video driver would intrepid be using?
[10:21] <quatar-it> jim_p: only voluntary help! that's fine!
[10:21] <qiyong> is linux-image debuginfo pkg no longer provided?
[10:21] <jim_p> lol
[10:22] <nascentmind> hi. I have an ati card and when i installed the restricted drivers it was fine.. after subsequent boots and dist-upgrade i get very low fps in glxgears. why is that?

[10:22] <qiyong> hi, help
[10:22] <quatar-it> jim_p: i know communities since i was a child, but i'm always grateful to who helps this way

[10:23] <jim_p> quatar-it, you are welcome then
[10:24] <bujin> hi a question im connecting my palm to the computer using the usb cable how can i know what port do i have to aim at
[10:24] <quatar-it> bye all
[10:25] <Sinister> can i up grade from 32 to 64 bit and keep all my settings ?
[10:25] <rww> nvm, found one :)
[10:26] <Xcerca> how can i reveiw the error messages from startup ,  my other laptop has this strange error " MAC address not recognized, using random MAC" and i want to see the message to figure the problem out. anybody ever have this same problem before ?
[10:26] <rww> Sinister: switching between 32-bit and 64-bit requires a reinstall of Ubuntu.
[10:26] <Sinister> well ill be back then
[10:27] <qiyong> linux-image-debug got dropped?
[10:27] <Sinister> my bios says 4gb ram but ubuntu says 3.2 someone said 64 bit will fix that
[10:29] <jim_p> Sinister, 64 bit will do the job. any os or distro but 64 bit
[10:29] <jtaji> Sinister: you will have to reinstall though
[10:29] <jim_p> Sinister, i hope you dont want me to explain why
[10:30] <CrypTom> hi all, I use the server edition and "cat /proc/meminfo" shows me that almost 10GB RAM are used, how can I see, which process uses so much memory? (a "ps aux" only shows 2 processes using more than 1%)
[10:30] <Sinister> no i alrady have the disk in im gona reboot and install
[10:31] <jim_p> CrypTom, top or htop ?
[10:31] <Sinister> thanks i just needed a answer if 64 bit would work and if i had to reinstall
[10:31] <Sinister> thanks
[10:31] <spx2> I have two ethernet cards , eth0 and eth1 , eth0 is configured correctly for the internet,eth1 is not configured,when I plug a cable in eth1 , eth0 stops working , why ?
[10:31] <dedal> hi
[10:31] <jtaji> CrypTom: use 'free -m', and in the second line you will see actual memory usage, after subtracting cache
[10:31] <Apocalyps> where is this #ubuntu channel saved?
[10:31] <CrypTom> jim_p: top shows no process using much memory (java 9%)
[10:31] <jim_p> spx2, improper network manager configuration. remove it and do your wired jobs from /etc/network/interfaces

[10:33] <nascentmind> hi. I had ati driver fglrx installed.. I removed disabled the restricted driver using envy-ng.. now my X doesn't start. why is that?
[10:33] <JohnyB> jim_p: I would love to do this, but I am not able to turn on firefox, it's just not loading at all.
[10:34] <jim_p> spx2, do you use static or dhcp?
[10:34] <spx2> jim_p: pppoe

[10:35] <nascentmind> can somebody help me?
[10:35] <jim_p> JohnyB, at a terminal            firefox -safe-mode               will start ff with no plugins loaded
[10:35] <chuxxsss> anyone no anything about cairo-dock?
[10:35] <Apocalyps> JohnyB: on this occassion, try reinstalling FF first
[10:35] <JohnyB> jim_p : it does the same in the safe mode
[10:35] <jim_p> nascentmind, because you have to provide it another driver to use now that fglrx is gone
[10:35] <gazotem> nascentmind: have you tried enabling the xorg.conf backup/safe file
[10:36] <JohnyB> Apocalyps : already thried with the same result
[10:36] <nascentmind> jim_p: its using vesa as the driver
[10:36] <jim_p> JohnyB, close ff and delete the .mozilla folder in your home. keep a backup of the bookmarks if you wish
[10:36] <nascentmind> jim_p: i tried to start x from root using startx but it says no screens found..
[10:36] <jim_p> nascentmind, so it should go to x
[10:37] <JohnyB> jim_p, I wouldn't do that beacause I have some users and passwords in there and I wouldn't like to lose them :(
[10:37] <kestutis> Hello. Anybody could assist me on the application "Weather Forecast"?
[10:37] <jim_p> nascentmind, remove any remaints of xorg.conf
[10:37] <jim_p> and startx again
[10:37] <dedal> Hi. I am new  in linux. I have acer TravelMate 5310. everything work except microphone. pls help
[10:37] <jim_p> kestutis, the one on the panel?
[10:37] <nascentmind> jim_p: should i delete xorg.conf?
[10:37] <eNons3nse> I've got a question.  When I get a browse box to save a file I can't select the default directory that comes up without navigating up a level then going back into that folder first.  Is this a problem for everyone?
[10:37] <jim_p> nascentmind, yea. it will recreate one
[10:37] <nascentmind> jim_p: k lemme try that..
[10:38] <Entelin> gnome-terminal 's man page documents a --title="" feature that is supposed to name the tabs however it seems to have no effect at all,  any ideas?
[10:38] <Entelin> im using 8.10
[10:38] <kestutis> jim_p: i am wondering how the application gets the data
[10:38] <jim_p> chuxxsss, what do you wish to learn
[10:38] <Apocalyps> JohnyB: open FF from terminal and see what is the error (will show in the terminal)
[10:38] <jim_p> kestutis, from weather.com of from the same resort as the pymetar script does
[10:39] <JohnyB> Apocalyps: john@john:~$ firefox
[10:39] <jim_p> Pabix, remove pulseaudio as a start
[10:39] <JohnyB> Apocalyps: and that's all
[10:39] <ubuntu> jim_p: what was that guide you posted earlier about adding ahci to windows?
[10:40] <jim_p> ubuntu, wait a sec
[10:40] <eNons3nse> it's kind of an annoying problem.  is there something that i can change to fix it?
[10:40] <jim_p> ubuntu, http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/33/SESSID=204ad1b9069093e64d68168d20b4d0cc/
[10:40] <kestutis> jim_p, so the application has the access to weather.com's database?
[10:40] <Apocalyps> JohnyB: $ ps aux | grep firefox
[10:41] <jim_p> kestutis, or a similar site like accuweather
[10:41] <JohnyB> Apocalyps: it's not loaded
[10:41] <jim_p> kestutis, can i pm you my pymetar output?
[10:41] <JohnyB> Apocalyps : john     16982  9.6  1.3  85808 28996 ?        Sl   12:41   0:01 /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.5/firefox
[10:42] <kestutis> jim_p - what do you mean?
[10:42] <Pabix> jim_p, actually I seem to have found a tutorial for my soundcard (Intel ICH9 family) using irqpoll as a boot option
[10:42] <Pabix> I will first try this, and then come back if needed
[10:42] <jim_p> ok Pabix
[10:42] <kestutis> jim_p: how to get this script?
[10:43] <jim_p> kestutis, sudo apt-get install pymetar
[10:43] <jim_p> kestutis, you need to know your location code though
[10:43] <Pabix> but thank you for your help
[10:43] <Apocalyps> JohnyB: so your FF is running, just dont know it's not showing
[10:44] <kestutis> but where the script is looking for the data? in accuweather?
[10:44] <JohnyB> Apocalyps : yes, and If I see the window (rarely) every time I try to push a button it crashes instantly
[10:44] <jim_p> kestutis, its python-pymetar my mistake sorry
[10:44] <ghaleb> hello, my log daemon keeps restarting !
[10:44] <genii> JohnyB: Have you tried loading it in safe mode?
[10:44] <jim_p> kestutis, let me look its interiors
[10:45] <JohnyB> genii: yes, with the same results
[10:45] <jim_p> kestutis, The pymetar Python interface will provide full and easy to use access to the METAR reports available from the NOAA (http://www.noaa.gov).

[10:45] <ariqz> how do I change my identd in xchat?
[10:46] <jim_p> !ask | ubunoob
[10:46] <Xcerca> how can i view the boot up messages to reveiw them ?
[10:46] <nascentmind> jim_p: it doesn't work.. it says "Cannot run in framebuffer mode please specify busids for all framebuffer devices"
[10:46] <ariqz> how do I change my identd in xchat?
[10:46] <ganymede> Xcerca, less /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog
[10:47] <kestutis> jim_p: i've installed the packet  python-pymetar, how to use it?
[10:47] <Apocalyps> JohnyB: maybe the error comes from a plugin, i think you shoul remove the folder ~/.mozilla before reinstalling
[10:47] <jim_p> Xcerca, most are in dmesg so a                                    dmesg | tail -100                  will do
[10:47] <Xcerca> thanks
[10:47] <jim_p> kestutis, you need to find your code for your location. for me its LGBL
[10:48] <kestutis> where do i have to find the code?
[10:48] <genii> Apocalyps: If from a plugin then: firefox -safe-mode      would have worked, but he says it did not
[10:48] <jim_p> kestutis, look in the site, i cant help you. it took me some hours to locate mine inside a huge list
[10:48] <gazotem> Xcerca: If you would like to view the boot messages during boot you have to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove the quiet option
[10:48] <b00ley> when i change virtual consoles(Ctrl+Alt+F1-6), x.org changes into the console mode. what i should do?

[10:49] <Christian_GER> hi
[10:49] <nascentmind> jim_p: any help?
[10:49] <b00ley> ariqz, 3rd box
[10:49] <ubunoob> i installed ubuntu for the first time, it is on my desktop (still running xp on my note book) i need ndiswrapper for my usb N wifi, however every time i burn it to disk from my xp machine i get an error that says disk may not ne debian
[10:49] <tuccha> when i log in to ubuntu my pc gets a  black colour and i cannot use it
[10:49] <jim_p> nascentmind, did you remove all xorg.confs and backups?
[10:49] <Christian_GER> simple question: my floppy disk isn't present by default, only after "modprobe floppy". How can I make that module loaded by default?
[10:50] <tuccha> i think i messed up with compiz config
[10:50] <jim_p> tuccha, are you on ati?
[10:50] <ganymede> tuccha, ubuntu probably decided to enable compiz but it didn't work
[10:50] <nascentmind> jim_p: i have kept the backups.. removed all xorg.conf from /etc/X11
[10:50] <tuccha> what's ati?
[10:50] <jim_p> nascentmind, what ubuntu version are you on?
[10:50] <tuccha> jim_p
[10:50] <ariqz> b00ley: surely that can't be so. People dont' want their account login as their damned ident
[10:50] <jim_p> tuccha, lspci | grep VGA
[10:50] <nascentmind> jim_p: intrepid
[10:51] <jim_p> nascentmind, are you on command only now??
[10:51] <nascentmind> jim_p: yes.
[10:51] <b00ley> ariqz, okey, open the settings of connect to the network, and find your login-name
[10:51] <loffe> Why is the ffmpeg version so old in ubuntu? 2 years !!
[10:51] <JohnyB> Apocalyps : I 'll do that now
[10:52] <jim_p> nascentmind, at the recovery option and logged in as well?
[10:52] <nascentmind> jim_p: X has not bothered to create a xorg.conf again..
[10:52] <kestutis> jim_p, isn't weather.gov for the US only?
[10:52] <kestutis> I can't find any city in Europe
[10:52] <nascentmind> jim_p: what recovery option?
[10:52] <b00ley> nascentmind, try xinit --configure
[10:52] <ariqz> thanks
[10:53] <jim_p> nascentmind, there is a recovery option in grub as you boot the pc
[10:53] <ubunoob> does any one know how i can transfer the files from xp to ubuntu?
[10:53] <pp5gn> ei
[10:53] <b00ley> ubunoob, samba
[10:53] <nascentmind> jim_p: i am in runlevel 5 with X barfing ..
[10:53] <pp5gn> hhrqwqw
[10:53] <b00ley> what?
[10:53] <ganymede> ubunoob, sudo apt-get install smbfs && mount.cifs //your_xp_comp/share_name -o user=your_xp_user_name
[10:54] <nascentmind> jim_p: i can recover from the console itself.. checked with ps to see if there are any X running.. it diead after sometime..
[10:54] <jim_p> nascentmind, can you run                    X -configure
[10:54] <b00ley> X disappear, when i'm change ttys
[10:55] <b00ley> display returns into console-mode
[10:55] <sarmisak> b00ley, try alt+f7 to go back?
[10:55] <nascentmind> jim_p: yes i can.
[10:55] <ramon> does anyone know how to track a cellphone?
[10:55] <sarmisak> ramon, like what?
[10:55] <b00ley> x runs at tty1
[10:56] <ramon> sarmisak gps
[10:56] <jim_p> nascentmind, sudo cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:56] <sarmisak> b00ley, difficult situation, it shouldn't actually
[10:56] <sarmisak> ramon, you have to install a third party logger ON the cell phone maybe
[10:57] <nascentmind> jim_p: i ran the test with the xorg.conf.new. X starts atleast.
[10:57]  * annaimkonki enters and asks.. "has anyone succeeded on getting a PS3 to work with mediatomb or other dlna apps"? can u point me to the tutorial? thanks
[10:57] <nascentmind> jim_p: lemme move it now..
[10:57] <ramon> sarmisak i dont know nothing about it...just have kismet installed perhaps?
[10:57] <sarmisak> ramon, no no no that's for wireless network hijacking
[10:57] <sarmisak> ramon, nothing to do with any cell phones
[10:58] <b00ley> huh
[10:58] <gazotem> ramon, you will most likely need special software for your phone, depends on the model and openness of the system.
[10:58] <ramon> sarmisak what you really need to have to track it then?
[10:59] <chiliblue> has anyone had luck installing adobe air in ubuntu 8.10
[10:59] <sarmisak> ramon, you have to install the software ON THE PHONE.
[10:59] <nascentmind> jim_p: ok X starts with the kde start screen without the authentication and shows  complete white screen..
[10:59] <ramon> i want to track someone else phone
[10:59] <sarmisak> ramon, I don't think that would be legal anyway :)
[10:59] <jim_p> nascentmind, did you reboot?
[10:59] <b00ley> nascentmind, kde start?
[11:00] <ramon> sarmisak is it possible?
[11:00] <nascentmind> b00ley: no startx
[11:00] <chiliblue> all I am getting is a white box on iplayer where the video stream would be
[11:00]  * annaimkonki enters and asks.. "has anyone succeeded on getting a PS3 to work with mediatomb or other dlna/upnp apps"? can u point me to the tutorial? thanks
[11:00] <nascentmind> jim_p: no i didn't boot.. should i?
[11:00] <gazotem> ramon most cell phone gps systems utilize satellites to triangulate the cell phone signal. you will need to have access to these which is almost uncertain unless your phone has an open system that allows you to take advantage of this, which I highly  dought.
[11:00] <dns53> ramon you can only track a cell phone if you are the network or have the authority of the government to get the networks to tell you
[11:00] <Pabix> jim_p, the tutorial I have read did not work, I have removed pulseaudio but still sound is not working
[11:00] <dot> I have a problem with my DVD stuff
[11:00] <eNons3nse> can anyone help me?  i've got a slightly annoying problem
[11:01] <ramon> dns53 what about if i use googleearth?
[11:01] <dot> I live in a region 2 country and I got region 4 DVDbox. When I play the DVD in my computer I can see the first 2-3 episodes of the series
[11:01] <dot> and then the last 2 I can not
[11:01] <dot> it crashes
[11:01] <TwoD> I need to do a "reverse FAT lookup" on my USB HDD. It has some errors and I used ddrescue to get an image, and a list of unreadable bytes. But I don't know which files are affected. Any tool available for this?
[11:01] <webaska> anyone can tell me how to change password to phpmyadmin? i forgot it and its quite embarrasing :D
[11:01] <b00ley> webaska
[11:02] <dot> webaska: no google?
[11:02] <b00ley> may be to the mysql
[11:02] <jim_p> nascentmind, please reboot
[11:02] <eNons3nse> when a file browser opens to select a directory to save a file to, it doesn't let me save in the first directory that opens with the box unless i go up a level then go back into that directory.
[11:02] <jim_p> i am busy now, sorry
[11:02] <ramon> sarmisak is it possible to configure googleearth to do so?
[11:02] <dot> so could anyone help me to get my ubuntu region free
[11:02] <dot> or so
[11:02] <ubunoob> im still having probs, i need some 1 to talk 2 me like a child, i installed ubuntu for the first time a hour ago
[11:02] <annaimkonki> dot have you tried VLC media player?
[11:02] <dot> annaimkonki: yes
[11:03] <dot> but I can not see the last episodes
[11:03] <dns53> ramon  you need some way of getting the phone to tell you where it is, so the phone network knows you could get your phone to send that info out to a server and track it yourself if you ahve a gps
[11:03] <sarmisak> ramon, I think I'm not clear enough, you need to install a software on the phone to send you the coordinates
[11:03] <gazotem> ramon No go, google earth is essentially a set of preset images spanned over a 3d globe, it is not real time
[11:03] <tavi> hey who know how can make the space between the items on the desktop more little
[11:03] <tavi> ?
[11:03] <sarmisak> ramon, unless the phone is yours, you can't
[11:03] <nascentmind> jim_p: i rebooted.. i get the auth screen.. kde starts with its screen and shows a blank screen.
[11:04] <dot> so How can I get an .iso file region free, I can not even watch the last episodes if I made it to .iso
[11:04] <dot> on a region free dvd-player it works without problems
[11:04] <dns53> unless you set up pirate phone towers you can't
[11:04] <tavi> is too big space
[11:04] <nascentmind> jim_p: i get the kde mouse pointer though and nothing else..
[11:04] <JohnyB> anyone knows any efficient mode to protect with iptables against flood?
[11:04] <eNons3nse> ubunoob:  do you want a shared folder between the 2 operating systems on the same machine?  a networked folder between 2 different machines?  just move some files over occasionally?
[11:04] <b00ley>  nascentmind, may be problem in KDE? try another wm
[11:05] <nascentmind> b00ley, i was running kde before this perfectly..
[11:05] <jim_p> nascentmind, then its something that kde startd but fails. look in kdes autostart folder in home
[11:05] <ubunoob> i need to use my xp machine to put ubuntu files and progs on disk, that are readable by ubuntu
[11:05] <annaimkonki> dot: have you tried libdvdcss2
[11:05] <nascentmind> jim_p: X is the buggiest thing alive.. k will do..
[11:06] <dot> annaimkonki: I got it but what to do wit hit?
[11:07] <eNons3nse> ubunoob:  a regular burned data CD should work fine.  do you have a thumb drive you could use?
[11:08] <tavi> so noone help me?
[11:08] <b00ley> tavi, what is your problem?
[11:08] <ubunoob> no thumb drive, when i burn the ndiswrapper to disk on my xp machine and put it in my ubuntu machine its a no go, says disk may not be debian
[11:08] <tavi> i said once
[11:08] <PurpleHaze> does ubuntu support ATI ?
[11:08] <tavi> the space between things on desktop is too big
[11:09] <nascentmind> jim_p: there is nothing in autostart
[11:09] <b00ley> PurpleHaze, sometimes
[11:09] <dns53> PurpleHaze yes the binary drivers are there as well as the open source ones
[11:09] <PurpleHaze> sometimes ? illaberate
[11:09] <b00ley> tavi, what is your window manager
[11:09] <PurpleHaze> and BCM4311 wireless ?
[11:09] <eNons3nse> ubunoob: are you closing the burn session?  it's not even letting you open the disc to see what's on it?
[11:10] <ubunoob> yes it closes, but no it wont let me open the disk
[11:10] <tavi> windows manager?
[11:10] <gazotem> tavi are you using gnome, kde.. etc.
[11:10] <tavi> gnome
[11:10] <dns53> tavi apart from turning off alignment you probably have to open up gconf and look for something under nautilus
[11:10] <eNons3nse> ubunoob: what burn program you using?
[11:10] <ubunoob> windows
[11:11] <nascentmind> jim_p: is there any safe mode or something in kde?
[11:11] <tavi> well
[11:11] <tavi> how i do that?
[11:11] <dot> annaimkonki: I got also libdvdread3
[11:11] <dot> but not working the last 2 episodes
[11:11] <dot> why
[11:11] <kernel> PurpleHaze/ BCM4311 Wireless drivers http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=371213
[11:11] <gazotem> tavi: start by hitting ctrl + f2 then type in gconf-editor i believe should give you a gui
[11:11] <b00ley> tavi, try gconf in terminal
[11:11] <jim_p> nascentmind, ask in kubuntu :( i have no idea
[11:11] <eNons3nse> you're not using a disc burning program to burn your data CDs?  like Nero or something?
[11:12] <tavi> gconf don´t work
[11:12] <tavi> gconf-editor worked
[11:12] <tavi> what i do yhere
[11:12] <tavi> ?
[11:12] <dns53> tavi run gconf-editor in a terminal and look at the /apps/nautilus/icon_view/thumbnail_size i think that is it
[11:12] <tavi> there?
[11:12] <nascentmind> jim_p: what is xorg-ati or something like that for?
[11:12] <ubunoob> nope, no third party prog, just using my OS i try nd save on resources when i can
[11:12] <eNons3nse> ubunoob: you're not using a disc burning program to burn your data CDs?  like Nero or something?
[11:13] <jim_p> nascentmind, dunno. dont tryst ati tools
[11:13] <tavi> and how i modify there
[11:13] <nascentmind> jim_p: i had installed fglrx.. i was getting great framerates and then when i do a upgrade it see all this get intalled and my framerates are pathethic.. i know fglrx module is loaded..
[11:13] <tavi> i saw a number
[11:13] <tavi> but how i modify him?
[11:13] <dns53> tavi double click the number to edit
[11:13] <nascentmind> jim_p: i am not sure whether ati is to blame.. because ubuntu's restricted drivers apply button doesn't work..
[11:14] <eNons3nse> ubunoob: i've never done that it windows before.  i know that the windows file systems are different so it doesn't surprise me too much that it's not working.  i would probably try to use a 3rd party burning program rather than the one that's built into the windows file browser.
[11:14] <jim_p> nascentmind, this happened after the upgrade to 8.10?
[11:14] <tavi> lower or bigger?
[11:14] <DragoraN_> hi people
[11:15] <ubunoob> can u reccomend one that works for you, that can be found on mininova or TPB?
[11:15] <DragoraN_> what should i really use for virtualization one linux and one windows as guests
[11:15] <tavi> well didn´t worked
[11:15] <DragoraN_> xen? vmware esxi? vmware server? hyper-v?
[11:15] <tavi> the spaces between them are the same

[11:16] <x3n0> does anyone know how to get ie4linux to run correctly under jaunty?
[11:16] <nascentmind> gazotem: yes the xorg.conf file was untouched..

[11:17] <eNons3nse> i've always used nero.  careful about getting a bug though if you're doing it like that.  that's one of the reasons i can't stand using windows.  the programs that i want to use are already free so people don't bundle nasty things with them.

[11:19] <eNons3nse> ubunoob: yep.  hope it works.
[11:19] <JimmyZ> can anyone help me setup my CA0106 soundcard
[11:19] <jim_p> nascentmind, do you use compiz with kde?
[11:20] <tavi> ?
[11:20] <eNons3nse> still no input on my problem.  at least i helped someone else.
[11:20] <eNons3nse> i just want to know if it's happening to everyone.  not just me.
[11:20] <antiost> just changed my motherboard on my laptop (dell m1330) and now ubuntu freezes, should I run some reconfiguration stuff?
[11:20] <nascentmind> jim_p: i didn't have compiz installed.. but i had some effects on in kde4
[11:20] <nascentmind> jim_p: how do i re enable the ati drivers now from the console?
[11:21] <nascentmind> jim_p: i can't even find the fglrx module to load.
[11:21] <Krwlng> yardım lazım türk varmı
[11:22] <jim_p> nascentmind, sorry mate, i dont know about atis AND xorg 1.5 that 8.10 uses. ask Jordan_U
[11:22] <eNons3nse> when a file browser opens to select a directory to save a file to, it doesn't let me save in the first directory that opens with the box unless i go up a level then go back into that directory.
[11:22] <eNons3nse> is this a universal problem?  or just me?
[11:22] <eNons3nse> someone?
[11:22] <tavi> i resolved
[11:22] <slug> eNons3nse just you
[11:23] <tavi> i maked a new directory and i move all those things there
[11:23] <quibbler> eNons3nse, from what program are you trying to save from?
[11:23] <eNons3nse> quibbler: any program.  even if i'm telling file roller where to unzip a file too.
[11:23] <jim_p> how does compiz start in gnome if its not in the sessions window?
[11:24] <jim_p> how does compiz start in gnome if its not in the sessions window?
[11:24] <jwhite93> Has anybody upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 yet? I am doing the upgrade now.
[11:25] <eNons3nse> quibbler: if i want to unrar a file into it's current folder, which is the default directory that comes up in the browser, i can't just cllick OK.  i have to go up 1 level and then back into the same direcotry first.
[11:25] <jwhite93> 9.04, I mean.
[11:25] <genii> jwhite93: There is no 9.10 as of yet
[11:25] <jwhite93> genii, I meant 9.04, sorry.
[11:25] <pseudonym> I'm having trouble with cpufreq. It's working fine when I'm on battery power, but when I'm plugged in, it's stays at full processing speed. The governors "work" when it's plugged in, in that the correct name is displayed, but the processing speed stays maxed out.
[11:25] <jim_p> jwhite93, looking for trouble as it seems. try #ubuntu+1
[11:25] <genii> jwhite93: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty questions please
[11:25] <nascentmind> Jordan_U: hi is there anyway to recover from my issue?
[11:25] <eNons3nse> quibbler: this happens whenever that file browser box comes up.  it's mostly for saving things but used in other instances like unraring as well.
[11:25] <jwhite93> Okay.
[11:26] <gazotem> jim_p: i believe you can configure /usr/share/xsessions/ to start compiz automatically

[11:30] <eNons3nse> quibbler: i'm usually good at resolving problems in google or the forum but i guess the wording of this problem points to answers to unrelated questions

[11:36] <assargadon> is it possible to make "multipart" archive with Ubuntu tools? I.e. zip-archive with several zip-files as output.
[11:36] <nils> ubpttu
[11:37] <sarmisak> harlemdavvey, you have a default firewall on your router, just login to your router and check your user manual
[11:37] <gazotem> hypyrbole: rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
[11:37] <nils> ubottu: das bringt mich aber auch nicht viel weiter
[11:37] <harlemdavvey> sarmisak: how can i login to my router?
[11:37] <sarmisak> harlemdavvey, and do not post your questions repeatedly
[11:37] <Apocalyps> assargadon: of course, use rar
[11:37] <sarmisak> harlemdavvey, use your user manual, it's different for different routers / adsl modems
[11:38] <assargadon> Apocalyps: do you mean console comand?
[11:38] <hypyrbole> gazotem---> thank you very much. Also that tells me where the trash directory is.
[11:38] <Apocalyps> assargadon: yes
[11:38] <Flannel> nils: This channel is english only.  Please speak english.
[11:38] <harlemdavvey> sarmisak: i have an alice w-gate telsey router
[11:38] <Apocalyps> assargadon: it's very simple
[11:38] <harlemdavvey> maybe is there something on the net about it?
[11:38] <assargadon> yes, I already finded THIS method, as far as I used it a lot in mine windows life
[11:38] <gazotem> hypyrbole: no problem

[11:38] <assargadon> Apocalyps: but what I need is make instructions for my mother
[11:38] <nils> plannel: How is a german channel?
[11:38] <Flannel> nils: /join #ubuntu-de
[11:38] <genii> Flynsarmy: sudo lshw | more              is very informative
[11:39] <sarmisak> harlemdavvey, google it then :)
[11:39] <assargadon> and it will be hard to explain for she, that console is simple and funny :)

[11:39] <nils> Thanks
[11:39] <ZiplocBaggie> anyone familiar with qmailrocks installation?
[11:39] <assargadon> Is it possible to make "multipart" archive with Ubuntu _GUI_ tools? I.e. zip-archive with several zip-files as output.
[11:39] <Apocalyps> assargadon: once rar installed, you can use it in gui too (combined in the archive roller)
[11:40] <harlemdavvey> sarmisak: ok, i'll google it but i don't know what to look for..? what should i type in my search? i've tried to look for it till now but i found nothing useful looking for "router firewall ubuntu install"
[11:40] <assargadon> Apocalyps: yes, but I don't see multipart archive functionality
[11:40] <harlemdavvey> sarmisak: can you tell me something more precisely?
[11:40] <assargadon> It's very easy to make uni-file archive.
[11:40] <sarmisak> harlemdavvey, you are asking a hardware specific question, I cannot help you about it, try your user manual or ask assistance from the manufacturer
[11:41] <harlemdavvey> sarmisak: ok then, thx you so much :)
[11:41] <Apocalyps> assargadon: in "Other Options", you can choose the size for volumes
[11:42] <assargadon> Apocalyps: in file-roller?
[11:42] <ZiplocBaggie> anyone familiar with qmailrocks installation?
[11:42] <Apocalyps> assargadon: yes
[11:43] <assargadon> Apocalyps: welll....stupid question: where can i find "other options" ? I observed all the meny, and there nothing like "ptions" or "parameters"
[11:44] <assargadon> Apocalyps: ah sorry, I see it, but it is inactive
[11:44] <assargadon> Anyway, thanks, I hope I can find the situation, when it will enable
[11:45] <Apocalyps> assargadon: ok, right click on the file/folder you want to split, choose "Create Archive", choose type as rar, and there IS "Other Options"
[11:45] <harlemdavvey> sarmisak: do you know something about how to update repositories in my system??
[11:45] <Apocalyps> assargadon: you must choose type of archive as RAR
[11:45] <Adam-85> I try to install windows under Ubuntu using VirualBox and get this error VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE

[11:47] <ZiplocBaggie> anyone familiar with qmailrocks installation?
[11:47] <harlemdavvey> sarmisak: ok and should i install an antivirus application for my ubuntu?
[11:48] <andresmh> I connected my laptop to a projector but when I switched back to using only my laptop monitor I cannot longer enable Compiz.  Here's my xorg.conf and the output of lspci -v | grep -i vga: http://pastebin.com/d150d6cea
[11:49] <assargadon> Apocalyps: I'm afraid we uses somewhat different versions of file-roller. I find the "Size of volume" in Archive->Properties of archive. But it's read-only value :)
[11:50] <Apocalyps> assargadon: are you trying to split or combine?
[11:50] <sarmisak> harlemdavvey, no need for that, you should be virus free for another decade or so
[11:50] <harlemdavvey> sarmisark: hahahahahahahaha lol ok thx by the way:)
[11:51] <harlemdavvey> sarmisak: have a nice day man and thanks for your help
[11:51] <assargadon> Apocalyps: split and then combine. A have a several large files, I want to combine it in one archive, but splitted on several parts of standart size
[11:52] <Apocalyps> assargadon: so put all of them in one folder, then create .rar archive from this folder
[11:52] <assargadon> Apocalyps: ah sorry, there was NO "size of volume", it was just "size of archive"
[11:53] <assargadon> Apocalyps: yes, and then?
[11:53] <Accidus> K
[11:53] <assargadon> this RAR-archive will be, say, 4 Gb. I need 4 1Gb files
[11:54] <Apocalyps> assargadon: so in the option "Split in volumes of" you choose 1000MB
[11:54] <Xcerca> anybody know why i would get in invalid mac address error from forcedeth when i boot up , it's screwing me up for mac filtering on my router ?
[11:55] <deany> anyone with ATI mobililty 9800 pro have it working ok with ATI drivers (not the ones in the ubuntu repos)
[11:55] <assargadon> Apocalyps: yes, I understand. I just can't find "Split in volumes of" option...
[11:55] <deany> just checking before i kill my system installing em :)
[11:55] <assargadon> Apocalyps: in file-roller
[11:55] <deany> assargadon:  man rar
[11:56] <Apocalyps> assargadon: what version of ubuntu you are using?
[11:56] <assargadon> deany, I know how to do it via console
[11:56] <andresmh> Please help. I connected my laptop to a projector but when I switched back to using only my laptop monitor I cannot longer enable Compiz.  Here's my xorg.conf and the output of lspci -v | grep -i vga: http://pastebin.com/d150d6cea
[11:56] <deany> file-roller is pretty weak,  really need a decent rar frontend for ubuntu
[11:57] <assargadon> Apocalyps: Hardy Heron
[11:57] <Accidus> I'm having problems with my wired connection in Ubuntu 8.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1545. Submitting data and continual connections don't work properly. Noteable examples: Gmail disconnects frequently, browsing through Facebook fails repeatedly, posting stuff to forums/pastebin is problematic, cannot login properly to bank accounts. Everything works fine on Vista, so my ISP claims it's not his fault. I've tried disabling the IPv6 module, but to no
[11:57] <Accidus> avail (this should only affect DNS lookup anyway, and that works fine). I've tried booting from CD, but the problem persists. Any ideas what I should do further?
[11:57] <assargadon> deany: is it accessible via Synaptic?
[11:58] <deany> i dont know of one :)   try winrar in wine maybe ?
[11:58] <Apocalyps> assargadon: no experience with this prob in Hardy, i'm using Intrepid, sorry
[11:58] <abuyusuf_> deany, winrar in wine is too good, and working smoothly
[11:58] <b00ley> you can't do .rar archives with linux(except wine
[11:58] <b00ley> license of RAR
[11:59] <italy_> Accidus: have you given a look to the log files ?
[11:59] <assargadon> Apocalyps: what is "Intrepid"? 8.10 ?
[11:59] <abuyusuf_> b00ley, No you can without WinRAR, but using console without GUI
[11:59] <Apocalyps> assargadon: yes
[11:59] <deany> assargadon: right click the file/folder, make archive.. choose rar and drop down other options
[11:59] <deany> splt is in there
[11:59] <Apocalyps> b00ley: the shareware versioin of rar exists in repo, and of course you can install it
[12:00] <abuyusuf_> !intrepid | assargadon
[12:00] <assargadon> deany: there are NO any dropdown named "other options"
[12:01] <deany> is for me... odd
[12:01] <assargadon> looks like i need to performe release-update :)
[12:01] <deany> installed rar and unrar i take it?
[12:01] <deany> sorry, have to ask
[12:02] <assargadon> yes, unrar is not installed...
[12:02] <assargadon> but rar IS installed
[12:02] <zenmaster> hey can someone do me a favor and go to my ip <IP_ADDRESS>:80 and tell me if they can see my webpage?
[12:02] <Apocalyps> assargadon: can i see the screenshot when you create archive?
[12:03] <assargadon> Apocalyps: yes
[12:04] <abuyusuf_> assargadon, unrar available too for install, see !info unrar-free
[12:04] <faileas> has anyone managed to get mondo to work? it seems to fail both with nfs and dvds, and its getting rather annoying

[12:04] <zenmaster> hey can you check out my website and see if its showing http://<IP_ADDRESS>:80
[12:04] <Jianaran_> What would you people advise as a Media Player/iTunes substitute for linux?
[12:04] <pw-toxic> hi, i had an unclean shutdown, but there was no "checking" on reboot.. now i cant mount my HDDs anymore
[12:04] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, what is mondo?
[12:05] <assargadon> Apocalyps: I trying DDC File Transfer to you. Is it works for you?
[12:05] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, more importantly what "wont it work" at?
[12:05] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: backup software- its supposed to backup to bootable DVDs
[12:05] <Paddy_EIRE> ah
[12:05] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: apparently mindi fails, which is an app that makes a bootable disk- it works standalone though
[12:05] <deany> zenmaster: thats your private local network ip...
[12:05] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, it backs up to bootable dvds... I would not totally trust that
[12:05] <zenmaster> darren:in wlan0 it shows
[12:05] <kebomix> how to do mac address spoofing for wireless networks that use mac address filters ?
[12:06] <zenmaster> darren: how do i make it public?
[12:06] <b00ley> pw-toxic, try run fsck manually
[12:06] <deany> zenmaster: www.whatismyip.com
[12:06] <b00ley> zenmaster, you need web-server, nat
[12:06] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, I prefer backing up my home directory and perhaps using aptoncd.. its more full poof/idiot proof
[12:06] <b00ley> and more and more
[12:06] <Jianaran_> I want to use Opera, but whenever I click a link in IRC or otherwise it opens in Firefox. Anyone know how to change my default browser?
[12:06] <deany> enable incoming for port80 (http)
[12:06] <zenmaster> thanks guys
[12:06] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: i have a windows/ubuntu dualboot. its more that i can't afford to lose the windows partition since my recovery disks are stolen
[12:07] <darren_> zenmaster: yep whatismyip and if ur using dynamic ip use dyndns.org
[12:07] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, hmm
[12:07] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, well you could just image the drive?
[12:07] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: i can pastebin the error logs once i ran through this app again
[12:07] <pw-toxic> b00ley, he says, that this can badly hurt my mounted filesystem
[12:07] <Paddy_EIRE> would be better
[12:07] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, just right click on the link and hit "open link with opera"
[12:07] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, yeah ok
[12:07] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, perhaps its something simple
[12:07] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: last resort. i haven't found an imaging app i'm happy with
[12:07] <bryton_03> hi all!
[12:07] <erkin> hi,  can anyone help me about  user-mode-linux or redirect me to related channel ?
[12:07] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, dd?
[12:07] <Paddy_EIRE> !info dd
[12:07] <zenmaster> it says my ip is <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:07] <Paddy_EIRE> hmm
[12:07] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: i don't have the space
[12:07] <Jianaran_> abuyusuf_: I don't get that option in IRC. And I'd like it to be the default browser if that's possible.
[12:07] <Paddy_EIRE> ah
[12:08] <Apocalyps> assargadon: cant receive via DCC, pls upload to a image site
[12:08] <bryton_03> I was about to use camserv but when I execute camserv it gives me this : /dev/video0: Device or resource busy
[12:08] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: if i get the 1 tb drive i want, maybe i can. this drive is mostly empty, but i'd like something that won't tie me down to the home network
[12:08] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, you will use a lot of dvds.. I would recommend an external/internal hdd if its really that valuable to you
[12:08] <zenmaster> darren_:<IP_ADDRESS>
[12:08] <bryton_03> anything I should stop?
[12:08] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, OK, go to System > Preferences > Preferred Applications
[12:08] <jalsot> hi
[12:08] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, yeah makes sense
[12:08] <bryton_03> I was about to use camserv but when I execute camserv it gives me this : /dev/video0: Device or resource busy
[12:09] <darren_> zenmaster: private chat and ill give u some pointers
[12:09] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: if its just the data? ~5-8 only i think. i'll have a second backup on a external drive
[12:09] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, then select Opera as default for internet browsing
[12:09] <jalsot> does suspend and hibernate function on Intrepid? I have some issues with
[12:09] <Paddy_EIRE> bryton_03, are you sure your camera is supported
[12:09] <Jianaran_> abuyusuf_: I don't see that. I'm using Xubuntu, if the menu trees are any different.
[12:09] <assargadon> Apocalyps: ok, making this...
[12:09] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, that aint so bad
[12:09] <Enselic> bryton_03: what does   lsof | grep video0   give?
[12:09] <jim_p> jalsot, are you on ati?
[12:09] <gumpert34599> hi smart values are ok as long as they are bigger than WORST values right?
[12:09] <bryton_03> yes, I tested it on camorama and it works
[12:09] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, yes, i'm using Ubuntu, OK wait please
[12:10] <bryton_03> Paddy_EIRE: but lately I can't open it on camorama
[12:10] <jalsot> jim_p: no, nvidiia M2NPV-VM (nForce430), GeForce 6150
[12:10] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: i;ve tried g4l and acronis demo so far, as well as a few free windows based imaging tools. not happy with any of em
[12:10] <Paddy_EIRE> bryton_03, try cheese.. I noticed that works more successfully than camorama
[12:10] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, hmm
[12:10] <Jianaran_> abuyusuf_: Nevermind, found it. Thanks :)
[12:10] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, one sec... let me have a look about
[12:11] <JaZ969> i just got a msg along the lines that y audio output was busy on amarok
[12:11] <JaZ969> and my sound doesnt work now
[12:11] <jalsot> I was googling a lot around but suspend and hibernate doesn't want to work - to tell the truth, Compiz has some issues too
[12:11] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, no problems
[12:11] <J-_> After a break from the server(ubuntu 8.04), I turned it back on and I found that sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't work. So, I cd /etc/init.d/ and networking isn't there. Is there a way to reconfigure the system to bring it back? My server still works both locally(with internal IP), and people say my website is working. Though, I can't access it through my LAN with either WAN IP, or domain name.
[12:11] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: i'll have an error message in a moment ;)
[12:11] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, you tried partimage?
[12:11] <marsdtn> :)
[12:12] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page
[12:12] <Paddy_EIRE> that allows you to split it up to dvds
[12:12] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: hmm, i think i may have at some point
[12:12] <kamuisan> anyone knows application with internet radio on ubuntu 8.04
[12:12] <kamuisan> ??
[12:12] <bryton_03> Paddy_EIRE: can I do something to fix this: /dev/video0: Device or resource busy
[12:12] <assargadon> Apocalyps: http://headache.h1.ru/Archive making.png
[12:12] <faileas> i'll give it a second look though
[12:12] <Jianaran_> OK, one other thing: What would you reccommend as an iTunes/Media Player substitute for Linux?
[12:12] <sarmisak> kamuisan, have you tried rhytmbox? it does play last.fm
[12:12] <J-_> Can I use dpkg to reconfigure networking?
[12:12] <Paddy_EIRE> bryton_03, its probably the wrong number/name
[12:12] <csc__> hello
[12:12] <Paddy_EIRE> bryton_03, e.g. video0:

[12:14] <Paddy_EIRE> bryton_03, which webcam is it ?
[12:14] <andresmh> I'm trying to install 8.10 from the LiveCD. First I just wanted to try it without installing it. It booted from the CD, selected the language but then it's frozen just showing the Human theme wallpaper. It hasn't displayed anything else. The mouse pointer doesn't even move.
[12:14] <abuyusuf_> !rhythmbox | Jianaran_
[12:14] <bryton_03> Paddy_EIRE: what do you mean replace with 1?
[12:14] <J-_> jim_p: What can I do to bring /etc/init.d/networking back then?
[12:14] <Paddy_EIRE> bryton_03, in the camorama option
[12:14] <bryton_03> a4 tech pk-635M
[12:15] <b00ley> J-_, you delete that?
[12:15] <jim_p> J-_, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[12:15] <Paddy_EIRE> bryton_03, e.g. change /dev/video0 to /dev/video1
[12:15] <Accidus> italy_: What should I look for in the log files?
[12:15] <Apocalyps> assargadon: you are trying to copy a DVD? so use other tool
[12:15] <Jianaran_> Thanks again, abuyusuf_
[12:15] <xmasrulz> sorry for my bad english , i'm from Italy , i hope logging here i'll able to improve my english.. ^^
[12:15] <J-_> jim_p: that command doesn't work.
[12:15] <abuyusuf_> !it | xmasrulz
[12:15] <assargadon> Apocalyps: What is the difference?
[12:15] <Paddy_EIRE> bryton_03, that has solved for some... although dont bank on it.. as I said it was to humour me :)
[12:15] <J-_> Boohbah: I don't think I'm dumb enough to delete it. But, it's not there, no.
[12:15] <Paddy_EIRE> rule it out rather
[12:15] <xmasrulz> cool
[12:16] <jim_p> J-_, did you delete the file? or it has no effect on network stuff?
[12:16] <wuhui> hello,everyone...
[12:16] <jarco> how can i see if my microphone what uses usb is used by kubuntu?
[12:16] <xmasrulz> but i would like to stay here too , english is important to understand many shell and instruction
[12:16] <J-_> jim_p: I didn't delete it. It's not there, and no it's not affecting my network. www.bytebind.com (my website) works still. Or, at least it should on the WAN side of things.
[12:16] <xmasrulz> i'll go in .it too , tankz
[12:16] <xmasrulz> 8)
[12:17] <b00ley> how i can see my disk usage(free space on that)
[12:17] <horstle> hi
[12:17] <genii> b00ley: df -h
[12:17] <abuyusuf_> jarco, can't get you, can you be more clear ?
[12:17] <bryton_03> Paddy_EIRE: a4 tech pk-635M - don't know why I keep getting that "device busy" I does not happend recently
[12:17] <Apocalyps> assargadon: i think if you want to preseve the quality image, first make an .iso file to your hard disk, then split from that .iso file. ok?
[12:17] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: http://pastebin.com/m77a689c5 sprry for the MASSIVE error log. its rom a single run
[12:17] <nicolas__> #ubuntu-fr
[12:17] <b00ley> thanks
[12:17] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, sure better that way
[12:17] <Rec0> what was the command to reenable the small audio tool in the tray??
[12:17] <jim_p> J-_, do you see the working interfaces in ifconfig?
[12:18] <J-_> jim_p: eth0 and lo are there.
[12:18] <kurrata> b00ley:  tipe in terminal df -h
[12:18] <faileas> hmm
[12:18] <jarco> well. I have a microphone that is connected with a usb device. When i connect to teamspeak it mutes me automaticly. So i want to know where i can see if kubuntu is recodnising my microphone.
[12:18] <quibbler> Rec0, add to panel volume control
[12:18] <assargadon> Apocalyps: yes, it possible, too. But copying of DVDs is not a point. Archiving a point. Another example possible is photo albums archiving.
[12:18] <Rec0> ahhh thanks quibbler
[12:18] <abuyusuf_> jarco, do: "lsusb"
[12:19] <assargadon> Apocalyps: I just have no other big files in one place to test thee
[12:19] <quibbler> Rec0, you are welcome
[12:19] <J-_> jim_p: want me pastebin the output?
[12:19] <abuyusuf_> jarco, that would list all your usb connected devices including your microphone, if it's listed, then check your recording settings it may be muted there
[12:19] <Paddy_EIRE> bryton_03, this is for kopete although should be applicable for any other app http://ubuntusite.com/how-a4tech-webcam-work-kopete/
[12:19] <jim_p> J-_, no :( i am too tired to think now
[12:19] <jarco> abuyusuf_: it is recodnised and it aint muted. Any thoughts?
[12:20] <J-_> okay.
[12:20] <abuyusuf_> jarco, try recording using the normal recording application and "sound and video" in your menu
[12:21] <abuyusuf_> jarco, sorry i mean "under sound and video menu"
[12:21] <abuyusuf_> jarco, it called "sound recorder"
[12:21] <jarco> i have kmix abuyusuf_
[12:21] <jarco> :D
[12:22] <abuyusuf_> jarco, no problem, try recording anyway, to can know from why that problem happen
[12:22] <jarco> abuyusuf_:  kmix aint starting ...
[12:23] <Rec0> how do i change the device my volume wheel of my Keyboard controls??
[12:23] <abuyusuf_> jarco, why ?
[12:23] <abuyusuf_> jarco, any error messages ?
[12:23] <AccidusUnderScor> I'm having problems with my wired connection in Ubuntu 8.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1545. Submitting data and continual connections don't work properly. Noteable examples: Gmail disconnects frequently, browsing through Facebook fails repeatedly, posting stuff to forums/pastebin is problematic, cannot login properly to bank accounts. Everything works fine on Vista, so my ISP claims it's not his fault. I've tried disabling the IPv6 module,
[12:23] <AccidusUnderScor> but to no avail (this should only affect DNS lookup anyway, and that works fine). I've tried booting from CD, but the problem persists. Any ideas what I should do further?
[12:23] <jarco> abuyusuf_:  no errors here just keeps loading and then disapears
[12:23] <abuyusuf_> jarco, try running it from terminal to get the error message, copy it via pastebin
[12:24] <abuyusuf_> !pastebin | jarco
[12:24] <J-_> It must be time to reinstall ubuntu server.
[12:24] <jarco> abuyusuf_:  even no errors in cli just does nothing
[12:25] <b00ley> i will try to setup x.org agai
[12:25] <b00ley> n
[12:25] <johnnbstroud> :D
[12:25] <johnnbstroud> hello
[12:26] <abuyusuf_> jarco, strange .. did it work before with you ?
[12:26] <Enselic> !hi | johnnbstroud
[12:26] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, hmm.. that error log is rather daunting
[12:26] <jarco> abuyusuf_:  no never i installed this kubuntu yesturday
[12:26] <johnnbstroud> hi Enselic
[12:26] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: i know! ;p
[12:26] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: thats from ONE run
[12:26] <jim_p> !chroot
[12:26] <faileas> i seem to have worked out what the issue is- it thinks sda1 is mounted when it isn't - its a windows parititon
[12:26] <some1normal> jarco look on the panel volume icon mixe
[12:26] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, D:
[12:27] <jarco> ah abuyusuf_ when i used sudo it did gives errors
[12:27] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, although it has some pointers
[12:27] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, give me another minute or two
[12:27] <abuyusuf_> jarco, ok, just install the sound recorder using this command: sudo apt-get install sound-recorder
[12:27] <abuyusuf_> jarco, pastebin it
[12:27] <faileas> it seems to work when i tell it to save /dev/sda instead of / for some reason
[12:27] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, got it
[12:27] <faileas> where?
[12:27] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, you must run that app
[12:28] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, gah
[12:28] <abuyusuf_> some1normal, he did and it isn't muted there
[12:28] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, you must run that app from a live cd
[12:28] <faileas> what app?
[12:28] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: !!!
[12:28] <faileas> there is NO live cd ;p
[12:28] <jarco> sorry again ... abuyusuf_ it wherenty errors. In fact i am stupid it just opened my volume mixer ...
[12:28] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, you cannot be mounted to the drive while you are using mondo
[12:28] <faileas> hasn't been for years
[12:28] <abuyusuf_> jarco, no worries, try recording please
[12:28] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: er, /dev/sda1 is not mounted ;p
[12:29] <Gnirx> I have the usual problems with vpn connections using the buggy network-manager that comes with intrepid. does anybody know the main bug i should be following on launchpad?
[12:29] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, it says in your error log "ATAL ERROR. Sorry, /dev/sda1 is already mounted! CANNOT DO IMAGEDEV on it if it's mounted."
[12:29] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: i'm sure its not
[12:29] <faileas> thats where the problem seems to be though
[12:29] <jarco> euh sorry to nag but how do i use this sound-recorder abuyusuf_
[12:30] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, yeah its confusing
[12:30] <abuyusuf_> jarco, you did install it with the command i sent ?
[12:30] <jarco> yes
[12:30] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, give me a pastebin of  /var/log/mindi.log
[12:30] <abuyusuf_> jarco, it should appear now in your "sound and video" menu
[12:31] <jarco> abuyusuf_:  it didnt. Perhaps because i use kde
[12:31] <Paddy_EIRE> jarco, no it should be there
[12:31] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: i think mine may be for more than one run
[12:31] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, thats ok.. I will cut chop
[12:31] <abuyusuf_> jarco, no, just menu need refresh, ok run: sound-recorder from the terminal
[12:32] <faileas> http://pastebin.com/m46f63300
[12:32] <Paddy_EIRE> k
[12:32] <jarco> abuyusuf_: http://pastebin.com/m66b46347
[12:32] <Gnirx> no nm-applet cracks around here right now?
[12:33] <jarco> abuyusuf_: what to do there?
[12:33] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, according to that output it was successful :/
[12:33] <kernel_geek> Hello, i have been messing around with sysv-rc-conf, is there any way to reset my init settings ?
[12:33] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, "Created bootable ISO image at //mondo.scratch.3161/images/mindi.iso"
[12:33] <Paddy_EIRE> odd no?
[12:33] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: very
[12:34] <Paddy_EIRE> perhaps I will install mondo and try it out
[12:34] <faileas> very frustrating app
[12:34] <Paddy_EIRE> yeah seems so
[12:34] <Paddy_EIRE> convoluted error output
[12:34] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: use the repo on the mondo website- the official ubuntu version is even more broken than this one
[12:34] <abuyusuf_> jarco, try adding some filename like "mywave" after the command you wrote
[12:35] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, ok.. you tried this by the way http://www.mondorescue.org/docs/mondorescue-howto.txt
[12:35] <jarco> abuyusuf_:  it just recorded empty sound
[12:36] <Grab> what ubuntu version do you suggest to install? 8.10 or 8.04 ? i see that 8.04 support will last longer...
[12:37] <Wendal_x> 8.10
[12:37] <Wendal_x> the new one
[12:37] <Enselic> Grab: are you running an Ubuntu server and/or in a production environment?
[12:37] <Paddy_EIRE> !lts | Grab
[12:37] <Grab> why will 8.04 be supported longer?
[12:37] <abuyusuf_> jarco, ok, there's one even easier, install the gnome-sound recorder using this command: sudo apt-get install gnome-sound-recorder
[12:37] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: no, i am using the interactive interface
[12:37] <Grab> oh i see :D
[12:37] <Grab> thanks
[12:38] <nils_> -de3
[12:38] <Wendal_x> 8.04 is LTS
[12:38] <Grab> why do they build a LTS ?
[12:38] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, oh I see
[12:38] <abuyusuf_> !info sound-recorder
[12:38] <jarco> abuyusuf_:  cant findpackage it sais :D
[12:38] <Grab> for making it more stable ^?
[12:38] <Paddy_EIRE> Grab, every 18 months
[12:38] <faileas> Grab: not everyone wants to update that often
[12:38] <abuyusuf_> !info gnome-sound-recorder
[12:38] <Wendal_x> maybe it is millbone
[12:38] <Grab> ok
[12:38] <Grab> thanks all
[12:38] <jarco> abuyusuf_: the last program did start recording btw. There was just no sound in the file .i suggest it didnt accept my microphone ...
[12:39] <vice> the idea of an LTS is probably to help increase corporate adoption
[12:39] <abuyusuf_> jarco, so it started recording but you mean that no sound generated in the wav file ?
[12:39] <vice> companies might require longer-term support
[12:39] <jarco> abuyusuf_:  that is correct
[12:40] <abuyusuf_> jarco, are you sure that the mic not muted ?, where you checked for that ?

[12:42] <abuyusuf_> jarco, that is strange, i don't know more about that in real, that should work good, can you try another mic to be sure that the error not from hardware ?
[12:42] <Jianaran_> abuyusuf_: About ten minutes ago, you told me how to make Opera my preffered browser, and so I did. HOWEVER, I am now incapable of following ANY hyperlinks: I'm told that there was an error launching the default action command associated with the browser whenever I try and click on one. I changed the preferred browser back to FF, but I still have the same problem. Any idea what's up?
[12:43] <b00ley> how can i start x.org at tty7?
[12:43] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, how you set your default browser? ( System -> Pref. > Preferred Apps. ) ?
[12:43] <nascentmind> is proposed updates a good idea?
[12:43] <jarco> abuyusuf_: no other mic here. It works fine on windows on this computer. Also i just noticed in alsamixer that mic volume was 0. Raising it didnt solve a thing
[12:44] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, and please pastebin the accurate error message you got

[12:44] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, the error please using pastebin
[12:45] <Ad_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/99590/
[12:45] <DRebellion> nascentmind, i wouldn't recommend it. Backports is useful though.
[12:45] <Jianaran_> abuyusuf_:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/99591/
[12:46] <abuyusuf_> jarco, i can't help more with that problem, sorry - but i think it would be useful testing another mic ( with different type if possible )
[12:46] <nascentmind> DRebellion: the proposed update is solving an alsa issue for my machine.
[12:46] <jarco> ok abuyusuf_ i am very greatfull to you for the effort
[12:46] <DRebellion> nascentmind, well, after its been tested in proposed, it will probably land in updates then.

[12:47] <Jianaran_> Sorry, only on IRC
[12:47] <jimdogstar> Is anyone using an acer aspire one here?
[12:47] <Jianaran_> It may occur in other places, but I'm not sure.
[12:48] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, so please test in another places
[12:49] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: it does seem to be my windows partition thats the issue. seems to be a start ;)
[12:49] <Jianaran_> abuyusuf_: xchat links give me the error; pidgin as a MSN client doesn't. I'm trying to find more links...
[12:50] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, try restarting xchat please
[12:50] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, have you chkdsk that drive?
[12:51] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: as far as i know, it works fine in windows. i'll do it next time i boot. it also mounts fine when i do it manually
[12:51] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, to rule that out
[12:51] <Paddy_EIRE> ah
[12:51] <faileas> will do it next time i reboot

[12:56] <Jianaran_> As I said: IRC, Edit, Network, Discussion, Go, Help
[12:57] <Jianaran_> .18
[12:57] <Jianaran_> Version 0.18
[12:57] <nutzer> Hab ein neues Notebook bekommen und ich brauche hilfe weil der sich nicht Aktualiesiert !
[12:57] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, 2.18 ?
[12:57] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, 0.18 !!
[12:57] <Jianaran_> Apparently not
[12:57] <gumpert34599> nutzer: geb mal ein: /join #ubuntu-de
[12:57] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, i think you need an update there !
[12:57] <abuyusuf_> !de | nutzer
[12:57] <foges> nutzer: probiere hier diese Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, und #edubuntu-de
[12:57] <Jianaran_> I downloaded it yesterday; not entirely sure how this happened
[12:57] <Jianaran_> :p
[12:58] <abuyusuf_> !de | nutzer
[12:58] <foges> no one know the name of the §° key?
[12:58] <faileas> actually...
[12:58] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, Strange !, may be an error, ok you can do an update and it should work
[12:59] <Jianaran_> What's the latest version? I think I may have done a sudo apt-get install xchat*... Which might have just got me the lowest numbered verfsion.
[12:59] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, i think that version 0.18 not even support Changing the default web browser or may be something similar
[12:59] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, i've 2.8.6
[13:00] <abuyusuf_> !info xchat
[13:00] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, it's 2.8.6 that available on the repos.
[13:01] <Jianaran_> Yeah, I've just done a sudo apt-get xchat-gnome-2.8.6 <-Should that give me the right version?
[13:01] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, No, just do: "apt-get update"
[13:02] <Jianaran_> ok
[13:02] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, or: "apt-get install xchat xchat-gnome xchat-gnome-common"
[13:02] <asea168> hello
[13:03] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, that should detect if there's an update for the package specified
[13:03] <abuyusuf_> !hi | asea168
[13:03] <abuyusuf_> !ask | asea168
[13:04] <asea168> i kone
[13:04] <asea168> know
[13:04] <Pirate_Hunter> how can i optimise ubuntu i.e. make it faster, use less resources, stop unneeded processes etc?
[13:05] <abuyusuf_> Pirate_Hunter, that's different from user to another, and each part you said need long article to clearify it, you may try visiting UbuntuForums
[13:05] <abuyusuf_> !forums | Pirate_Hunter
[13:06] <roy_polos> HUYYYYYYYYYYYY
[13:06] <Pirate_Hunter> abuyusuf_: oh ok i thought you couldve just done it in general but yeah you're right
[13:06] <abuyusuf_> Pirate_Hunter, No problem
[13:07] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, What is the news ?
[13:08] <Jianaran_> hmm... I did the apt-get install xchat xchat-gnome xchat-gnome-common, the terminal seemed to be downloading stuff, yet I'm still at 0.18
[13:08] <Toppy> Anyone know a console or GUI app that you can add descriptions to files that show up when you list them?
[13:08] <Jianaran_> abuyusuf_: "xchat is already the newest version", apparently
[13:08] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, try "xchat-gnome" from terminal
[13:09] <asea168> how to use VIM?
[13:09] <Aji-Daha1a> is there anything like kontact for gnome?
[13:09] <Jianaran_> abuyusuf_: Yep, still 0.18
[13:09] <Pirate_Hunter>  how do i set ubuntu to update automatically without asking for confirmation?
[13:09] <abuyusuf_> Toppy, you would post a brainstorm for that, i don't think that is current
[13:09] <Aji-Daha1a> asea168: that's a long and complicated answer
[13:09] <Enselic> Jianaran_: If you haven't tried Konversation, give it a try. I find it to be a much better IRC client than XChat
[13:09] <Jianaran_> ok, will do
[13:09] <abuyusuf_> !brainstorm | Toppy
[13:10] <Aji-Daha1a> asea168: you're probably better off using pico or nano if you don't know vim
[13:10] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, OK, you may be have to remove that from your machine and install the latest manually, what do you think ?
[13:10] <abuyusuf_> !nano | asea168
[13:11] <Toppy> Thanks all.  I'll check that out.  I used to have an app that did it in my old DOS 3.1 box a hundred years ago.  I miss it.
[13:11] <faileas> dos 3.1 ? o0
[13:11] <abuyusuf_> Toppy, i think that idea is great one, so add a brainstorm and it should appear soon in ubuntu as i think
[13:11] <faileas> was that on an XT? ;p
[13:12] <asea168> what is nano or pico
[13:12] <Pirate_Hunter>  how do i set ubuntu to update automatically without asking for confirmation?
[13:12] <Aji-Daha1a> asea168: they are text editors
[13:12] <faileas> asea168: text based text editors
[13:12] <Toppy> Ok, will do abuyusuf!
[13:12] <abuyusuf_> asea168, text editors, based on terminal use
[13:12] <abuyusuf_> asea168, nano is very user-friendly one
[13:12] <Jianaran_> abuyusuf_: Sorry, was afk. I'm installing Konversation; if that doesn't work I'll try uninstalling xchat. This was pretty weird, though
[13:13] <Aji-Daha1a> what do ubuntu people use instead of kontact?
[13:13] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, no problem, you can remove xchat using "apt-get remove xchat"
[13:13] <abuyusuf_> Jianaran_, and the latest version available for download from: http://www.xchat.org/download/
[13:14] <abuyusuf_> !info kontact
[13:14] <asea168> i want run the C&C++,how to  do
[13:14] <Aji-Daha1a> abuyusuf_: that didn't help :p
[13:14] <Aji-Daha1a> I clearly know what kontact is
[13:14] <abuyusuf_> asea168, means you want to compile some c & c++ codes ?
[13:14] <jackz0r> Ubuntu is really amazing, I used Slackware and Red Hat about 5 years ago, and it required so much configuration to run it as a Desktop
[13:15] <jackz0r> I ran them as an everyday OS, not as a weekend warrior
[13:15] <faileas> jackz0r: IMO, all of the distros have gotten a long way since 5 years ago ;)
[13:15] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: hmm, might help, but it seems to work if i don't backup my windows drive
[13:16] <abuyusuf_> Aji-Daha1a, OK, you can use alternative one like: "SunBird"
[13:16] <jackz0r> very true. but gentoo needs lots of work post install too
[13:16] <abuyusuf_> Aji-Daha1a, it's so great one, part of Mozilla family
[13:16] <Aji-Daha1a> abuyusuf_: I may try that.
[13:16] <faileas> gentoo... is special ;p
[13:16] <Aji-Daha1a> abuyusuf_: I was looking at evolution but it didn't seem quite so good
[13:16] <jackz0r> Ubuntu is quite impressive from an out of the box standpoint
[13:16] <abuyusuf_> Aji-Daha1a, i tried evolution but not so good, you're right
[13:16] <faileas> its pretty good ;p
[13:17] <Aji-Daha1a> faileas: I like gentoo :)
[13:18] <faileas> Aji-Daha1a: it has a fairly different .. structure though, in terms of goals
[13:18] <Aji-Daha1a> faileas: for sure, but my usual OS, what I cut my teeth on, is freebsd
[13:18] <asea168> kommander Editor is mean?
[13:18] <faileas> nearly every other distro is based off, or supported by a commercial varient ;)
[13:18] <Aji-Daha1a> so gentoo is familiar in many ways
[13:18] <jackz0r> maybe it's because I've been away for so long, but one plus you can give windows is that it installs and is "ready to use" for what that's worth
[13:18] <abuyusuf_> !info kommander
[13:19] <faileas> jackz0r: not really
[13:19] <Aji-Daha1a> jackz0r: no ssh client out-of-the-box on windows
[13:19] <Aji-Daha1a> and usually requires a bunch of driver downloads
[13:19] <Aji-Daha1a> at least for the hardware I have here
[13:19] <jackz0r> it's ridden with limitations, bloated, and not very powerful
[13:19] <abuyusuf_> asea168, you can usually use: "!info <package name>" to find more info about any package in Ubuntu
[13:19]  * faileas generally needs/wants ~1-2 gb of additional software to consider a windows box usable
[13:19] <Aji-Daha1a> faileas: and completely un/mismanaged software?
[13:19] <jackz0r> and yes needs software added to be functional for a power user
[13:20] <Aji-Daha1a> jackz0r: it doesn't even come with an office suite
[13:20] <faileas> Aji-Daha1a: thats another kettle of fish
[13:20] <abuyusuf_> asea168, if you need any more help with compiling or another thing, here you are
[13:20] <Aji-Daha1a> so not even for a power user, but for a regular office worker ...
[13:20] <faileas> Aji-Daha1a: you would rather every copy of windows came with works ? ;p
[13:20] <Aji-Daha1a> I wouldn't rather anything
[13:20] <faileas> my dad's workplace has a mix of OOo and MS office
[13:20] <Aji-Daha1a> I'm just saying it's a fallacy that windows installs "ready to use" for the average person
[13:20] <faileas> my home network has OOo, MS office, and a wierd homebrew 'office suite' ;p
[13:21] <faileas> Aji-Daha1a: totally agreed
[13:21] <Aji-Daha1a> it has a web browser and a media player, that's about it for the major application categories
[13:21] <Aji-Daha1a> oh, email-client, kinda
[13:21] <faileas> Aji-Daha1a: you forget the most important thing
[13:21] <faileas> SOLITARE!
[13:21] <faileas> xd
[13:21] <FloodBot1> faileas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:21] <Aji-Daha1a> that's something mac-os-x doesn't have
[13:22] <RUN351> Hi roomies
[13:22] <jackz0r> windows sucks, thats obvious, but it doesn't install with broken software
[13:22] <dkav> hey
[13:22] <abuyusuf_> !hi | RUN351
[13:22] <Aji-Daha1a> jackz0r: it doesn't?!
[13:22] <faileas> i usually replace the browser, add codecs, add a e mail client... granted i do it with linux too, but still ;)
[13:22] <jackz0r> the software it has is partially broken by design
[13:22] <Aji-Daha1a> have you seen the patchset on winXP?
[13:22] <JonnyDY2J> hi guys. need to know if there is a way of editing a .conf file in ubuntu 8.1 sever edition
[13:22] <Aji-Daha1a> it's like 8 reboots to go from fresh install to a mostly fixed install
[13:22] <RUN351> thx and I'm happy to be here. I need some help asap if I can !! hahahahahahaha
[13:22] <Aji-Daha1a> JonnyDY2J: vi?  nano?
[13:22] <dkav> I am looking for a ubuntu es channel
[13:22] <faileas> Aji-Daha1a: i have a DVD of patches to get a system updated ;p
[13:23] <faileas> its a lot faster, but not as fast as apt-get upgrade ;)
[13:23] <JonnyDY2J> Aji-Daha1a: I am new to this. what is yi? nano?
[13:23] <JonnyDY2J> *vi
[13:23] <Aji-Daha1a> JonnyDY2J: they are text editors
[13:23] <Aji-Daha1a> JonnyDY2J: text editors edit files, for instance .conf files
[13:23] <dkav> i dont find #ubuntu-es, someone can help me
[13:23] <jackz0r> when I used to install slackware, you could choose software to install and it wouldn't install it's dependencies or wouldn't have the correct versions of dependant libraries'
[13:23] <Aji-Daha1a> JonnyDY2J: if you are new, nano is probably easier for you.
[13:23] <abuyusuf_> !es | dkav
[13:24] <JonnyDY2J> Aji-Daha1a: going to assume that I would need to use the command sudo apt-get install vi
[13:24] <faileas> jackz0r: thats the power of apt, IMO. proper package management makes life so much easier
[13:24] <jackz0r> I'm no windows pundit, but it's part of the environment I work in
[13:24] <Aji-Daha1a> JonnyDY2J: nope, should be installed out of the box
[13:24] <Aji-Daha1a> jackz0r: same here, but I haven't agreed with your claims yet :p
[13:24] <faileas> JonnyDY2J: nano comes built in with a default install. its REALLY simple too
[13:24] <abuyusuf_> dkav, got it ?
[13:24] <RUN351> I uninstall policykit and now I'm not able to log in to my pc. I only get to the type in name and password and then my keyboard and mouse are disable.
[13:24]  * faileas uses windows and linux on a daily basis >_>
[13:24] <faileas> at the same time actually
[13:25] <jackz0r> I'm not making any claims to prove or disprove
[13:25] <simmerz> hi. does anyone know how to update a bios on an hp pavilion laptop from linux?
[13:25] <saler> JonnyDY2J, just open the terminal command  and type vi <filename>.
[13:25] <dkav> no, i list rooms and i cant find #ubuntu-es
[13:25] <jackz0r> windows comes with poor functionality and about 3 hours of changes to be made
[13:25] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, Have you taken a look at this http://www.howtoforge.com/back-up-restore-hard-drives-and-partitions-with-clonezilla-live
[13:25] <faileas> dkav: just try /joining it
[13:25] <RUN351> is there a command to disable my password?
[13:25] <JonnyDY2J> Aji-Daha1a: how would I then save a file that I have editied
[13:26] <Stormx2> dkav: What are you talking about? Just /join #ubuntu-es
[13:26] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: thats on the list of things to try next weekend actually
[13:26] <Aji-Daha1a> JonnyDY2J: in nano?  you exit and it asks if you want to save
[13:26] <JonnyDY2J> AJI-Daha1a: in vi
[13:26] <Aji-Daha1a> in vi...you hit escape, then type :wq<enter>
[13:26] <DarkKnight> hey i just wanted to know the technical term used for something..i'll just explain something and cn anyone provide me the technical term used.....its like this...fromthe desktop of one operating system we can have another operating system...can anyone say that
[13:26] <abuyusuf_> dkav, #ubuntu-es <<-- Click Here to join
[13:26] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, :)
[13:26] <Aji-Daha1a> less intuitive, more powerful
[13:26] <kaneda_> DarkKnight; virtual machine perhaps, or remote desktop?
[13:26] <Stormx2> How can saving be more powerful? :/
[13:27] <Aji-Daha1a> Stormx2: it allows :w!
[13:27] <kaneda_> DarkKnight; remote desktop will let you connect to another PC in a window
[13:27] <faileas> DarkKnight: remote desktop/terminal services
[13:27] <PC_Nerd> how can i find the permissions to a directory?
[13:27] <jackz0r> but it doesn't install a progam and have missing drivers needed for it to run
[13:27] <Aji-Daha1a> Stormx2: where it will take afile out of read-only mode and write it and put it back in read-only mode :)
[13:27] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: it works when i leave out /dev/sda1 so... i'll need to go from there
[13:27] <JonnyDY2J> how do i quit vi
[13:27] <dkav> thanks, I dont have experience with IRC. Bye
[13:27] <Stormx2> JonnyDY2J, read the documentation
[13:27] <DarkKnight> kaneda_; yes virtual machine...i couldn't remember that term.. thank you....well one of my friends wanted to put XP on a Vista desktop....can I know how to do this
[13:28] <Aji-Daha1a> JonnyDY2J: hit the escape key, then type :q and hit the enter key
[13:28] <faileas> lol
[13:28] <RUN351> is there a command to disable my password? from the recovery Root@desktop
[13:28] <Stormx2> DarkKnight: If you want to run one operating system inside another, you need to look at virtual machines. A good one is VirtualBox!
[13:28] <Paddy_EIRE> faileas, yeah.. seems a workaround is in order for the mean time
[13:28] <Aji-Daha1a> DarkKnight: off-topic
[13:28] <Pirate_Hunter> can someone provide me a list or link of all services that can be disabled in general?
[13:28] <JonnyDY2J> thanks Aji-Daha1a
[13:28] <Stormx2> Pirate_Hunter: System > Administration > Services
[13:29] <Aji-Daha1a> I better go, power outtage here in 2 minutes
[13:29] <Stormx2> Aji-Daha1a, why are you recommending a new user uses vi, out of interest?
[13:29] <Aji-Daha1a> Stormx2: I told him to use nano instead of vi
[13:29] <Stormx2> Ah, my bad.
[13:29] <wting> can I know where to learn wine
[13:30] <Aji-Daha1a> 07:23 < Aji-Daha1a> JonnyDY2J: if you are new, nano is probably easier for you.
[13:30] <jackz0r> what I actially came in here to ask was if anybody has anything bad to say about ndiswrapper before I use it
[13:31] <mpc> hi guys.  how do i check if my fans are working?  is there a command of some sort?
[13:31] <jarco> where can i see my ntfs disks in kubuntu?
[13:31] <Gnea> mpc: you can install and setup lm-sensors
[13:31] <faileas> jarco: generally they automount when you click on em. else you may need to mount them manually
[13:31] <Pirate_Hunter> can someone provide me a list or link of all services that can be safely disabled in general?
[13:32] <Gnea> !lm-sensors | mpc
[13:32] <jarco> faileas: i cant see them even. Where to look?
[13:32] <carsten> Hi there, and a happy new year :)
[13:32] <jackz0r> ubuntu documentation recommended I use it, as I haven't been able to find native drivers that work for my internal wireless card
[13:32] <faileas> jarco: its often in dolphin alind the left side
[13:32] <Gnea> mpc: as long as your hardware supports it, it will tell you the temperature of your cpu and how fast the fans are spinning
[13:33] <faileas> Gnea: i have a box which lm-sensors often reports to be running at a nice warm 200 degrees c ;p
[13:33] <carsten> I'm running Ubuntu 8.10, is there a distro with a min programs installed, i would like only the libs, so i can install the few programs i need, and like ? :)
[13:33] <Gnea> faileas: that's a problem with the math of your sensor configuration
[13:33] <jarco> faileas: thx that solved my problem
[13:33] <faileas> y
[13:33] <faileas> jarco: ya
[13:34] <RUN351> is there a command to disable my password? from the recovery Root@desktop
[13:34] <Gnea> carsten: ubuntu server
[13:34] <mpc> ok im installing it right now
[13:34] <pio_> salut
[13:34] <carsten> Gnea: is that a stripped Ubuntu with no soft ?
[13:34] <johnnbstroud> bye
[13:34] <faileas> carsten: ubuntu minimal or alternate and do a cli only install
[13:34] <carsten> falias: what's a cli install ?
[13:35] <Gnea> carsten: no, it's server, but it's got no gui and is just cli (command line)
[13:35] <jackz0r> no one has anything to tell me about ndiswrapper
[13:35] <pio_> allo
[13:35] <carsten> Gnea: Oh, okay, i would like the Gnome though, but can install i afterwards :)
[13:37] <Gnea> carsten: that'd work
[13:37] <sagar> I just installed Ubuntu..when i play Videos ,Screen flickers....
[13:37] <sagar> How do i fix it??
[13:38] <carsten> Gnea: How many programs are installed in the server ver. ?
[13:38] <tavi> how i install new codecs for vlc?
[13:39] <carsten> Gnea: And is it easy to make a distro with the server as base, and the libs and few programs i need, så i have a cd i can install from ?
[13:39] <tavi> i thinking that is the reason for that subtitles don´t work
[13:39] <hr_> hi all
[13:41] <sagar> I just installed Ubuntu..when i play Videos ,Screen flickers....How do i fix it??
[13:41] <RUN351> is there a command to disable my password? from the recovery Root@desktop
[13:41] <carsten> sagar: try with this "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras", it install codecs and some other stuff needed...
[13:41] <carsten> sagar, and maybe you need the newest GStreamer too ...
[13:42] <mchelen> tavi, what codec?
[13:42] <tavi> don´t know
[13:43] <sagar> carsten: I m new to Ubuntu....Whats this Gstream???
