[12:01] <aaroncampbell> chohmann: I'm actually on KDE
[12:01] <dannyboy79> can anyone help me rename a hard drive that is named VERY WEIRD within Places and on my desktop
[12:01] <PriceChild> aggiz, you can purchase it from their site.
[12:01] <aaroncampbell> I don't seem to have that there
[12:01] <gnychis> i know the server install CD is only like 10MB ... but my CD burner is broken, I only have a DVD burner... is it possible to burn the CD ISO to a DVD?
[12:01] <dannyboy79> gnychis: yes, it is
[12:01] <Rageagainstthis> of course
[12:01] <chohmann> aaroncampell: 1 sec
[12:01] <gnychis> thanks guys
[12:02] <dannyboy79> gnychis: np
[12:02] <Ramon> hello....
[12:02] <shrimants> Question: i have a core2duo processor, should i install 64bit ubuntu or 32 bit?
[12:02] <Imsdle> how do force an unstall to remove all CONfig files and force reinstall to do a fresh install of a new program
[12:02] <Ramon> I'm trying to install Ubuntu and when it is installing the base system it says: Debootstrap error... when I go to the console.. it says: debootstrap: tar: debootstrap: Invalid tar magic
[12:02] <dannyboy79> anyone help with hard drive names within Places?
[12:03] <PriceChild> shrimants, either will work. 64bit is missing some packages, such as wine, flash etc. but you will get a marginal performance increase. Not much though unless you're running openssh server or extreme video encoding/databasing
[12:03] <dannyboy79> Imsdle: sudo aptitude remove program name AND then sudo aptitude purge program name
[12:03] <mon^rch> Imsdle: synaptic has an option to remove all config files ;)
[12:03] <PriceChild> dannyboy79, its used by the label of the partition
[12:03] <chohmann> aaroncampell: my menu item points to a program called shares-admin. Can you try that from the command line
[12:04] <zerver> is there a program in linux that looks like total commander in windows ?
[12:04] <dannyboy79> PriceChild: how do I rename the label then. when I look within /dev/disks/by-label, there's nothing in that directory
[12:04] <aaroncampbell> chohmann: I don't have that
[12:04] <dannyboy79> PriceChild: not to mention, all my other disks are named by their mount point
[12:05] <PriceChild> dannyboy79, I haven't a clue of the best way...
[12:05] <homanj> what is the command to list my wireless card's chipset.
[12:05] <PriceChild> homanj, lspci
[12:05] <homanj> thanks.
[12:05] <Imsdle> i can't use synaptic.. im running ubuntu server. but thanks!
[12:05] <mon^rch> zerver: try gnome-commander
[12:05] <dannyboy79> PriceChild: well do you know anyway to do it versus just the best way
[12:05] <Thuggernaut> yo guys, i tried switching from the restricted-manager nvidia drivers to nvidia's own package, and got an X conflict on startup, any ideas what packages are conflict?
[12:05] <Ramon> I'm trying to install Ubuntu and when it is installing the base system it says: Debootstrap error... when I go to the console.. it says: debootstrap: tar: debootstrap: Invalid tar magic
[12:05] <Ramon> what can I do to fix it?
[12:06] <dannyboy79> Thuggernaut: you need to purge everything related to nvidia, then start over
[12:06] <Thuggernaut> dannyboy79: how do i figure out what to purge?
[12:06] <PriceChild> !away > subzero2000
[12:06] <Pirate_Hunter> hello all, me Add & Remove menu has disappeared from Applications how do I put it back?
[12:06] <bluefox83> a freind of mine has ubuntu 6.10 and uses wireless on his laptop...he wants to know if it's safe to upgrade to 7.04, and wants to know if there will be wireless issues
[12:06] <Jordan_U> Pirate_Hunter, alacarte
[12:06] <PriceChild> Pirate_Hunter, when did it disappear? What did you do?
[12:06] <subzero2000> PriceChild: Thanks
[12:07] <M3G4crux> what is the name of this new free streaming server?
[12:07] <mon^rch> Imsdle: try sudo apt-get purge <program name>
[12:07] <aggiz> and wine sucked!
[12:07] <Pirate_Hunter> PriceChild: I uninstalled firefox & opera cause I forgot the master password, heck i thought this was going to be an easy take and put back
[12:07] <aggiz> cant even see what im typing in wine
[12:07] <Thuggernaut> how safe is that, to use apt-get purge?
[12:07] <newtubuntu> PriceChild:  yes, the drive works on my Ubuntu system, it is mounted and it is shared. But it's permissions are not set properly and I JUST want to change them... :-/
[12:08] <PriceChild> newtubuntu, permissions to the rest of the network?
[12:08] <PriceChild> newtubuntu, how are you sharing it to the network?
[12:08] <Pirate_Hunter> Jordan_U: I have alacarte open cant find an option to insert add & remove
[12:08] <PriceChild> Pirate_Hunter, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[12:08] <chohmann> aaroncampell: ugh. sorry, my system is ridiculously slow. I'm loading synaptic to see if share-admin is a package
[12:09] <subzero2000> PriceChild: Command to restore from "/away", please?... :)
[12:09] <Pirate_Hunter> PriceChild: thanx so it was easy, lol where would I be without this community
[12:09] <PriceChild> Pirate_Hunter, that's fixed it?
[12:09] <PriceChild> subzero2000, Pardon?
[12:09] <Pirate_Hunter> PriceChild: nope going to try it now
[12:09] <Thuggernaut> do the restricted-modules packages conflict with nvidia's own?
[12:09] <subzero2000> How do I unset "/away"?
[12:09] <newtubuntu> PriceChild:  I set it up in File Sharing and I put it the same domain as the rest of my network. The network sees the drive but can't 'log' on it.
[12:09] <M3G4crux> whats the best software to play guitar on ubuntu?
[12:09] <PriceChild> subzero2000, the same again with no argument
[12:09] <subzero2000> Thanks.
[12:09] <PriceChild> newtubuntu, samba or nfs?
[12:10] <newtubuntu> Samba
[12:10] <Alata> Hmm, it seems like it is impossible to do the following: sudo echo "some settings" >> file/which/only/root/can/modify
[12:10] <PriceChild> Thuggernaut, yes.
[12:10] <Alata> How should I solve it?
[12:10] <Thuggernaut> ok thanks pricechild
[12:10] <PriceChild> newtubuntu, set security = share in smb.conf instead of user
[12:10] <subzero2000> PriceChild: I have a an Applescript under Colloquy that does that automatically for me, I'll see if I can get it to use "/away" instead.
[12:11] <PriceChild> Alata, yes, because the first half is sudo'd but after the >> isn't
[12:11] <Alata> Any way to get everyhing sudo'd?
[12:11] <Pirate_Hunter> PriceChild: ;-) that fixed it aite thanx for that
[12:11] <subzero2000> PriceChild: Never realized there was a server-side command to do that. Thanks again.
[12:11] <PriceChild> Pirate_Hunter, cool
[12:11] <PriceChild> Alata, one second
[12:11] <chohmann> aaroncampell:http://kubuntu101.blogspot.com/2005/11/how-to-share-files-using-samba.html
[12:12] <NimRod> thank you... you guys rule
[12:13] <Thuggernaut> peace out ubuntu peeps
[12:13] <PriceChild> Alata, hmm I can't remember myself... uses tee... I'm still googling
[12:14] <Alata> PriceChild: Aha, tee you say. I'll take a look. :-)
[12:14] <PriceChild> Alata, there's http://www.gratisoft.us/pipermail/sudo-users/2002-June/001094.html which explains a bit but not the way i remember
[12:14] <Jordan_U> PriceChild, I have looked at gnome-keyboard-properties and my layout seems correct, apropos shows gnome-keyboard-layout but when I try to use it I get command not found
[12:15] <holycow> hey guys if forget, the keyring on ubuntu, is that pasworded on a per user basis or is it setup as a single master password once that everyone has to remember?
[12:15] <Rageagainstthis> What do i need to kill to get an exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages, if the package manager is not in use?
[12:15] <PriceChild> Jordan_U, checked your xorg.conf?
[12:15] <Alata> Wikipedia gives "echo "Body of file...." |sudo tee root_owned_file >/dev/null" as an example of tee, which seems to solve my problem.
[12:16] <PriceChild> holycow, per user
[12:16] <holycow> thank you
[12:16] <jeffdavis> is it possible to have 2 versions of a package installed and running simultaneously? (package is libvte9 -- i want gnome-terminal to use an old version but everything else to use the latest version)
[12:16] <PriceChild> Alata, that sounds close...
[12:16] <Jordan_U> Rageagainstthis, Is this Ubuntu...?
[12:16] <PriceChild> Alata, cool well done :)
[12:17] <Rageagainstthis> Jordan_U: you got me it isnt.  But i thought the same rules would apply.
[12:17] <andrew_> Anyone know the best MSN client for ubuntu is?  I've been using aMSN, but it looks beat
[12:17] <hendrixski> ummm...  Anyone here have any experience trying to make a bootable ubuntu flash drive?
[12:17] <PriceChild> !best | andrew_
[12:17] <ubotu> andrew_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[12:18] <soundray> hendrixski: what's the error? Use a pastebin please.
[12:18] <hendrixski> andrew_, there's soething called aMSN I think... and that works.... also, GAIM I think can conect to it
[12:18] <pipegeek> I've followed the instructions on the ubuntu wiki, but, on boot, I get "Missing Operating System".  Drive is a 2GB sandisk cruzer, and the motherboard is known to support booting from USB flash drives
[12:18] <Jordan_U> Rageagainstthis, Just make sure that any package management applications aren't running, if you still get an error then it may be because an app crashed without releasing it's lock
[12:18] <PriceChild> Rageagainstthis, this channel is for #ubuntu support...
[12:18] <hendrixski> soundray, I've googled the error that's not what I need... is there a way to purge all of my un-needed packages?
[12:19] <soundray> hendrixski: sure, you can feed multiple package names as arguments to 'sudo apt-get --purge remove'
[12:19] <laster> i need helllp.. my flash player no play sonds on firefox
[12:19] <holycow> how do i reset the keyring password?  is the same as th eusers?
[12:20] <PriceChild> holycow, you will have set it the first time you used it
[12:20] <holycow> yeah if they forget it then ?
[12:20] <Rageagainstthis> Jordan_U: Yeah sorry guys.  I was just asking cause ubuntu will do that to every once in awhile when synaptic crashes.  I just didnt know how to undo that without restarting.
[12:20] <hendrixski> soundray, yep, tried that not working though.... is there a way to purge all of the ones that aren't needed?
[12:21] <soundray> hendrixski: what do you mean by "aren't needed"? Do you mean packages that have no reverse dependencies?
[12:21] <soundray> hendrixski: if that's the issue, deborphan may come in handy
[12:22] <hendrixski> soundray, I think that after I've removed a package before it told me that to uninstall all of the no-longer-needed files there was some command
[12:22] <hendrixski> I'm hoping to try that
[12:22] <dsl441> hi guys, euhm, can anyone advice me some lightweight msn client?
[12:23] <soundray> hendrixski: do you mean apt-get autoremove ?
[12:23] <leolandim> alguem fala portugues??
[12:23] <leolandim> q possa me ajudar?
[12:23] <Quiliro> hello everyone
[12:23] <soundray> !pt | leolandim
[12:23] <ubotu> leolandim: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[12:23] <hendrixski> soundray, yup that was the one I was thinking of... but that didn't work either... crap
[12:24] <leolandim> ubotu ok vlw
[12:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ok vlw - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[12:24] <andruk> Where do I go to suggest a feature for the menu editor?
[12:25] <bronze> When I use evolution to get my emails from gmail, it only gets 5 / 180 emails! (the 5 most recent). Why?
[12:25] <dsl441> euhm.. can anyone help me?:)
[12:25] <andruk> bronze: check your gmail settings
[12:25] <soundray> andruk: launchpad. See the private message from ubotu
[12:25] <andruk> bronze: it is probably only popping the unread emails
[12:25] <soundray> !bugs > andruk
[12:25] <hendrixski> soundray,  :-) but that autoremove gave me a different error message which gives me more google results :-)
[12:26] <bronze> andruk, thanks - that did it.
[12:26] <andruk> bronze: anytime
[12:26] <andruk> soundray: thanks.
[12:26] <pepe_> hello, how can i set the grub waiting time, to null that it will boot ubuntu right away ? is there an easy way ? :)
[12:27] <nitro4ce> hi. i need an 'avi to dvd' convertion tool.
[12:27] <nitro4ce> is there any for linux?
[12:27] <soundray> nitro4ce: mencoder or transcode
 menu.lst
[12:27] <Pirate_Hunter> pepe_: how slow is your grub cause mine is fast and i doubt you cna do that it would just depend on the system
[12:28] <moonlite> soundray: surely you can do better than just pointing out the lowlevel backends?
 nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:28] <moonlite> aren't there any easy to use graphical tools+
[12:29] <pepe_> thx a lot nitro4ce
[12:29] <soundray> moonlite: surely you can do better than second-guessing other people's advice
[12:29] <Pirate_Hunter> nitro4ce: amazing so their is
[12:29] <nitro4ce> pepe: yw
[12:29] <Wladi> hello. which program have i to use, if a want to unpack a abc.gz file? not a abc.tar.gz    only  .gz  :(

[12:29] <moonlite> soundray: hm give me a second and i'll try
[12:29] <Wladi> soundray: thx
[12:30] <noway-> I have been trying to get the java plugin to work for firefox.  I have followed directions from the forums, and on the wiki.  It never shows up in about:plugins ... what is weird is that links in IRC open up in mozilla (netscape) not firefox as it should.  Could there be a configuration problem with my firefox setup?
[12:31] <Quiliro> anybidy use ekiga to videoconference with netmeeting?
 do you know any graphical backend?
 didn't find any,,
[12:32] <moonlite> nitro4ce: googling it now

[12:35] <Krusnix> Hi
[12:35] <moonlite> that's something at least
[12:35] <shawn34> Is it possible to use an ubuntu live cd to recover files from a damaged windows drive?
[12:35] <ethanb> shawn34: you should be able to
[12:35] <Alata> If I do "export MYFLAG=1" in a script, then MYFLAG is not set after the script has ended. But I want it to be... :-)
 cool thanks
[12:35] <soundray> shawn34: depends on the damage to the windows drive
[12:36] <Azul> shawn34: sure, i do that all the time
[12:36] <shawn34> ethanb, currenlty windows isn't able to mount the partition
[12:36] <DavidCraft> when I installed ubuntu I had in my xorg.conf a synaptic driver.  I installed a patch for my video display (to get it to display in wide screen). Now all of a sudden, the synaptics driver is not there.  How do I fix this?
[12:36] <Azul> damaged drive or damaged windows?
[12:36] <moonlite> i don't know why i googled for you. that should be your job. :) But i don't really like the casual "mencoder or transcode" answers. Not very friendly
[12:36] <tw2113> i need some quick hardware help
[12:36] <Krusnix> Hello, I'm trying to wipe my current ubuntu partition and trying to make a new one to install ubuntu on. When I delete the partition ubuntu is in, and create a new one from the new freed up space
[12:36] <Krusnix> What kind of configuration do i use?
[12:36] <tw2113> anyone know where system temperature sensors are usually located?
[12:36] <bronze> Any skilled wine users here?
[12:36] <shawn34> Krusnix, use the default
[12:36] <soundray> Alata: it will be set, but only within the shell where you called the script. Can you create a temporary file as a flag instead?
[12:37] <Azul> tw2113: usually near the processor
[12:37] <ethanb> shawn34: wait, are you trying to mount the drive or partition in Ubuntu...?
[12:37] <tw2113> k
[12:37] <shawn34> Azul, currently windows can not boot the partition
[12:37] <Pirate_Hunter> Krusnix: EXT3
[12:37] <tw2113> i'm trying to analyze temps, and the system temp is around 114F
[12:37] <bronze> Does anyone know how to run CS with WINE with 100hz?
[12:37] <shawn34> ethanb, its currenlty a windows only pc
[12:37] <Azul> shawn34: boot from linux, mount the partition and take whatever you want
[12:37] <andruk> DavidCraft: in a terminal type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" without the quotes, and go through the windows
[12:37] <Krusnix> Shaun, I'm doing this manually
[12:37] <Alata> soundray: No, it's not "my" variable, so to speak.
[12:37] <Krusnix> Since I have no idea how to do it by the "default" way
[12:37] <Azul> shawn34: you don't have to install linux
[12:37] <Pirate_Hunter> bronze: you should try the wine database on their site or go to #winehq
[12:38] <shawn34> Azul, i'm going to but want to salvage what I can off it first
[12:38] <andruk> soundray: thanks
[12:38] <Azul> tw2113: 114F? that's too low
[12:38] <ethanb> shawn34: Well, I should think if you can boot the Live CD you should be able to have access to the Windows files...
[12:38] <tw2113> it seems high to me
[12:38] <DavidCraft> andruk:  uh yah...
[12:38] <Krusnix> This is too chaotic -.-
[12:38] <tw2113> my CPU temp is 86F
[12:38] <DavidCraft> did that anbd it screwed stuff up
[12:38] <soundray> Alata: please provide more detail on the problem.
[12:38] <Azul> tw2113: my cpu temp is normally 60C
[12:38] <ethanb> shawn34: Have you actually tried it yet?

[12:39] <ethanb> Is there a way I can view/show the number of TCP connections? Also, is there a way to increase/decrease TCP connections?

[12:40] <Ausylo|ZzZ> hey guys, i was wondering the easiest way to get a broadcom wireless card working with 7.04
[12:40] <Ausylo|ZzZ> clean install
[12:40] <cafuego> Ausylo|ZzZ: install the firmware
[12:40] <andruk> orbisvicis: multiply by 1.8 and add 32
[12:40] <cafuego> Ausylo|ZzZ: sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[12:40] <Alata> soundray: Sure. Firefox checks if MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO is set. I want to set it in a script, so that after I have run the script, the variable should be set to be seen by all firefoxes started afterward.
[12:40] <andruk> orbisvicis: ;-)
[12:41] <Ausylo> cafuego: im new to ubuntu, where do i get that
[12:41] <Pirate_Hunter> what does this mean:  Please enter the video card's bus identifier?
[12:41] <cafuego> Ausylo: You litrally run 'sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter' ion  aterminal.
[12:41] <andruk> cafeugo: does that work well (at full speed, full rnage, etc)?
[12:41] <Cleric> first time ubuntu convert here. im looking for a website or application that will basically give me recommended software to install to do everything i ever did with Windows. Can anyone suggest anything?
[12:41] <eelmoo> yo
[12:41] <pyrak> join #amarok
[12:41] <Alata> soundray: Even if started from the GUI, for example.
[12:41] <cafuego> andruk: Dunno, I've cerainly not had problems with them here.
[12:41] <andruk> orbisvicis: lol, i apologize for the lame remark i made ;-)
[12:41] <Ausylo> oh okay, just type that in terminal
[12:41] <cafuego> Pirate_Hunter: it emans "leave blank and hit return"
[12:42] <orbisvicis> andruk, lol
[12:42] <orbisvicis> np
[12:42] <Azul> can i have a user account with no password?
[12:42] <Pirate_Hunter> cafuego: leave blank? it does has some preset values, are you sure you want me to delete that?
[12:42] <Quiliro> Cleric: look for automatix
[12:42] <cafuego> Pirate_Hunter: If you have only one card, just hit return.
[12:42] <Azul> !automatix
[12:42] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[12:42] <ethanb> Cleric: Since you're new you may try the Add/Remove feature in the Applications menu. They have a catergorized list of possible apps. You can read there discriptions.
[12:43] <andruk> Cleric: ubuntuguide.org i think, lemme check real quick
[12:43] <cafuego> Pirate_Hunter: You can delete it or not, doesn't much matter.
[12:43] <ethanb> I don't reccomend automatix
[12:43] <pyrak> can someone help me with getting wine to work?  i just got it from synaptic and i need to know what to do before double-clicking exe's launches them
[12:43] <ethanb> It's useless with 7.04
[12:43] <Krusnix> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27512/ - My problem is here anybody that wants to help feel free to look at it
[12:43] <Azul> i don't recommend automatix either
[12:43] <Pirate_Hunter> cafuego: ok here goes nothing hmmmm......
[12:43] <Azul> it screwed my system a couple of times
[12:43] <Quiliro> Cleric: easyubuntu
[12:43] <ethanb> Yeah
[12:43] <quaal> why does shared folders gui make like 300 copies of the same folder in smb.conf when i try to make samba shares with it.
[12:43] <soundray> Alata: the best way I can think of is to edit /usr/bin/firefox to source /tmp/moz-disable-pango. Then you can include in your script an 'echo MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=true >/tmp/moz-disable-pango'. Making sense?
[12:43] <eelmoo> confidential
[12:44] <ethanb> Here's my question: Is there a way I can view/show the number of TCP connections? Also, is there a way to increase/decrease TCP connections?
[12:44] <andruk> Cleric: you can either read through ubuntuguide.org for things you miss from windows, or you can read through the discriptions of the packages you can install in synaptic.  the choice is yours
[12:44] <cafuego> Pirate_Hunter: the identifier is a way for X to distinguisg between multiple gfx cards, if you have only one, it matters not, as it will always be card #0 :-)
[12:44] <pyrak> i installed wine but when i click on exe's they dont launch... what do i need to do?
[12:44] <cdehaan> Hello! How can I install the drivers for my wireless card (apparently ath_pci) for my new Xen kernel, if I am not booted into it?
[12:44] <Pirate_Hunter> cafuego: if I dont know how much memory my video card takes what should I do?
[12:44] <quaal> ethanb, netstat
[12:44] <andruk> pyrak: you have to use the terminal to open the exe file
[12:44] <cafuego> Pirate_Hunter: just leave blank, it will be detected
[12:45] <Pirate_Hunter> cafuego: kk
[12:45] <imbecile> ok guys, today I am having good luck fixing problems... can someone help me get rid of window decoration for conky?
[12:45] <Cleric> ok thank you ill check those out. i think i saw Automatix2 recommended for ubuntu feisty on dl.tv, but its really no good?
[12:45] <Alata> soundray: Yeah, I see what you mean. Thanks. I was hoping for a more general solution though, but maybe it's not possible.
[12:45] <Krusnix> I make a pastebin as instructed and nobody looks at it -.-
[12:45] <soundray> Alata: you could even add 'echo MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO= >/tmp/moz-disable-pango' to /etc/rc.local to make sure the file exists at system start
[12:45] <quaal> why does shared folders gui make like 300 copies of the same folder in smb.conf when i try to make samba shares with it.
[12:45] <ethanb> quaal, thanks I feel like an idiot
[12:45] <quaal> ethanb, happens to everytone
[12:45] <quaal> everyone
[12:45] <ethanb> lol
[12:45] <CppIsWeird> im having a sound issue (and mic). When i first boot into ubuntu, i have sound, but very soon after booting, eventually nothing will make sound anymore. Can anyone instruct me on how to fix this?
[12:45] <andruk> pyrak: Applications > Accessories > Terminal.  Then type in "wine <filepath>" without the quotes
[12:45] <soundray> Alata: more general?
[12:46] <Pirate_Hunter> cafuego: should i enable this option - Use kernel framebuffer device interface?
[12:46] <andruk> Cleric: It works for some people, it destroys others, and it isnt supported here.
[12:46] <orbisvicis> brb
[12:46] <andruk> Cleric: automatix, that is
[12:46] <ReK_> quick question: what cfg file is the startup fsck command in? i want to remove it
[12:46] <ReK_> is it fstab?
[12:46] <Cleric> is easyubuntu supported here?
[12:46] <Quiliro> anyone: ekiga with netmeeting?
[12:47] <andruk> Cleric: I'm sorry, but I have no idea (I am still uneducated and uncultured)  ;-)
[12:47] <Azul> easyubuntu is supported by ubuntu
[12:47] <Azul> !easyubuntu
[12:47] <ubotu> easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ - For help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu
[12:47] <logankoester> What file sets my hostname at startup?
[12:48] <Azul> not
[12:48] <pyrak> andruk, thanks, i thought you could just double-click in nautilus... is there a way to make it so you can?
[12:48] <Alata> soundray: Well, editing the firefox startup script seems a bit drastic. Ideally, I would like a solution that isn't as... obtrusive. For use on machines that aren't mine, for example.
[12:48] <mrigns_> logankoester: /etc/host
[12:48] <sams_choice> hello friends
[12:48] <sams_choice> was that update from today clean?
[12:48] <logankoester> mrigns_: doesn't exist?
[12:48] <mrigns_> hmmm
[12:49] <logankoester> Is there a Right Way to change my hostname permanently?
[12:49] <soundray> ReK_: don't be silly, that's not a good idea. You can 'touch /fastboot' to prevent fscking for one boot, but even that is iffy.
[12:49] <andruk> pyrak: i dont know.  if there is, i havent found it.  but all you do is click on the white/green boxes and click install/uninstall/whatever...so its technically a double click... ;-)
[12:49] <pyrak> andruk, white/graan boxes?
[12:50] <ReK_> !kubuntu
[12:50] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE
[12:50] <soundray> Alata: you could write a wrapper for /usr/bin/firefox and save it as /usr/local/bin/firefox
[12:50] <andruk> logankoester: Administration > Network > General tab
[12:50] <logankoester> AndrewB: no gui
[12:50] <logankoester> er andruk
[12:50] <Pirate_Hunter> Whats the difference between the two? ImPS/2  & ExplorerPS/2
[12:51] <andruk> pyrak: sorry...i read synaptic...  my bad.  i do not believe so.
[12:51] <Alata> soundray: Aye, that's an idea. I'll think about it. :-)
[12:51] <andruk> logankoester: ah.  if you find out, would you let me know?
[12:51] <ReK_> you guys support kubuntu in here? their chan is dead...
[12:52] <soundray> ReK_: try
[12:52] <logankoester> andruk: Sure. You can do it with "sudo hostname foo" but it resets to the old name when you reboot
[12:52] <ReK_> my soundcard worked fine under kubuntu edgy, but now kmix says it cant detect the mixer in feisty
[12:53] <andruk> logankoester: yeah, evidently you have to change more than one file
[12:53] <o2o> sabgenton here
[12:53] <sabgenton> hey
[12:53] <soundray> ReK_: have you looked at the generic sound advice? Private msg from ubotu...
[12:53] <soundray> !sound > ReK_
[12:53] <Krusnix> My problem is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27519/ - I did this so that it'd be easier and there'd be less spam
[12:54] <ReK_> ill try those thanks. reboots required cause i havent set up wireless on linux partition yet
[12:54] <andruk> logankoester: evidently you have to change the /etc/hosts file as well
[12:54] <logankoester> andruk: what is that file supposed to look like? I don't have one
[12:54] <andruk> logankoester: i have no idea...im just reading around
[12:55] <logankoester> hmm
[12:55] <sabgenton> o2o: i was going to pm u but i cant grr
[12:55] <terrorpup> you have to have /etc/hosts file logan
[12:55] <Krusnix> This is absolutely ridiculous, I can't get around this problem
[12:55] <Siph0n> is it possible to have a different workstation be a different user? for everything i open in that other workstation
[12:55] <logankoester> oops my bad, I do have it
[12:55] <logankoester> hehe
[12:55] <soundray> Krusnix: change /media/sda2 to read '/' (just the slash)
[12:55] <logankoester> In fact it's quite customized, and I'm just being silly
[12:55] <logankoester> thank you
[12:55] <logankoester> that's all i needed to know
[12:55] <orbisvicis> ive installed libgtkglext1 from synaptic and compiled python-gtkglext from http://gtkglext.cvs.sourceforge.net/gtkglext/pygtkglext/ ,but glchess 3d still gives same error .... ?
[12:55] <Pirate_Hunter> how do u enable option in Xorg option menu if i press enter it will just move to the next menu
[12:55] <o2o> sabgenton root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 is the parts I don't understand so it might be I have those wrong
[12:56] <Krusnix> Oh great
[12:56] <Krusnix> rofl
[12:56] <orbisvicis> how can i double check python gtkglext installed OK ?
[12:56] <Krusnix> I don't quite understand why though...
[12:56] <Krusnix> Is it because it'd be the root on the partition?
[12:56] <soundray> Krusnix: "root" is synonymous with '/' in some instances
[12:56] <Krusnix> Ah
[12:56] <andruk> logankoester: no problem
[12:57] <soundray> Krusnix: with a partition that size, consider making it smaller and giving some space to a separate /home
[12:57] <ReK_> soundray: ALSA wasn't in edgy was it?
[12:57] <soundray> ReK_: yes, it was
[12:57] <Krusnix> /home?
[12:57] <ReK_> soundray: as default?
[12:57] <logankoester> Anyone know where to change the default motd that displays when there is no daily motd?
[12:57] <soundray> Krusnix: this is where all your personal data goes
[12:57] <soundray> ReK_: yes
[12:57] <Krusnix> O.0
[12:57] <Quiliro> Krusnix : you need to make you other partition smaller to make room for your swap partition to take as much as twice the RAM you have on hard disk space
[12:57] <ReK_> humm. i cant find my ccard in the supported list, yet it worked in edgy
[12:58] <terrorpup> sudo /etc/motd ; touch /etc/motd <-- will remove the old one and create a blank one
[12:59] <Krusnix> Well
[12:59] <terrorpup> or just vi or pico /etc/motd and edit the file
[12:59] <soundray> Quiliro: that's not accurate. Krusnix, you don't need RAM times two as swap if you have more than, say, 256MB of RAM
[12:59] <bronze> How can I fix this: "|   return 0;configure:2479: error: C compiler cannot create executables" ?
[12:59] <Krusnix> I've got 2 gigs of ram :/
[12:59] <Krusnix> I'm just leaving that swap partition, because thats what ubuntu initially installed
[12:59] <soundray> Krusnix: the swap size is good then
[12:59] <soundray> Krusnix: yeah
[12:59] <Alata> There exists a command to do more or less advanced editing of text files automatically, from the command prompt. Anyone knows what I'm think about?
[01:00] <soundray> Alata: sed? awk?
[01:00] <Krusnix> But this /home idea is awesome
[01:00] <andruk> Whenever I try to play anything in rhythmbox, it tells me "Resource busy or not available" and wont play the music file.  help?
[01:00] <Krusnix> Share files between both ops
[01:00] <soundray> Krusnix: well, you can share a root partition as well if you install ext2fsd in Windows.
[01:00] <andruk> Alata: more, less, nano, pico, vi, vim, emacs?
[01:01] <Krusnix> writing that down :/
[01:01] <ReK_> soundray: what would i have to do to disable the ALSA drivers packaged with ubuntu
[01:01] <soundray> Krusnix: but a separate /home is good if you want to do a fresh install rather than upgrade, without losing your user data.
[01:01] <terrorpup> more or less, how do you edit with those, the only display
[01:01] <soundray> ReK_: blacklist them. Private message from ubotu:
[01:01] <Alata> soundray: Thanks, sed it was, I think.
[01:01] <Krusnix> Well I dont have any user data on the ubuntu partition
[01:01] <soundray> !blacklist > ReK_
[01:01] <Krusnix> I was screwing around with it for a week or two
[01:02] <terrorpup> nano, pico, edit, vi, vim, joe, emacs, awk and sed.
[01:02] <ReK_> soundray: what's the module named?
[01:02] <andruk> Whenever I try to play anything in rhythmbox, it tells me "Resource busy or not available" and wont play the music file.  help?
[01:02] <ReK_> or can i just lsmod | grep alsa
[01:02] <soundray> ReK_: don't know. It depends on the sound card. "lsmod | grep snd" may help
[01:02] <Krusnix> Rythmbox seems kind of heavy to me
[01:02] <terrorpup> Alata sed's/oldtext/newtext/g' oldfile >> newfile
[01:03] <haggis> can anyone recommend a wireless network card that works in ubuntu?
[01:03] <andruk> Krusnix: i agree. it is supposed to replace itunes though, and its lighter than amarok
[01:03] <fsckr> anyone know what I can use to create an archive of about 2.7GB? I just tried to right click the directory and create archive but apparently 2.7GB is too much for it
[01:03] <andruk> haggis: laptop or desktop?
[01:03] <Alata> terrorpup: Ayup, that's what I had in mind. And similar stuff. ;-)
[01:03] <Jordan_U> terrorpup, I am tired so I may be wrong... but won't that add the changes to the end of the file instead of replacing the old file with the modified one?
[01:03] <haggis> andruk, desktop
[01:04] <Alata> Nevermind, man is there for a reason...
[01:04] <Jordan_U> haggis, Anything from intel
[01:04] <soundray> fsckr: the problem will be your filesystem rather than your archiver. Save to an ext3 partition and you'll be fine.
[01:04] <terrorpup> Jordan, no that does a global find and replace
[01:04] <cweagans> does anyone know of a good 2d vector animation program for ubuntu?
[01:05] <terrorpup> you have to do > or >> to create the file with the changes
[01:05] <fsckr> I am on a ext3 partition.  reason why I wanted to zip it up was to transfer it to my website
[01:05] <madnewbie> a little bit offtopic! does anybody know a VoIP traffic generator which can give per packet delay? TIA.
[01:05] <Jordan_U> terrorpup, Sorry, I understood that but thought you said sed's/oldtext/newtext/g' samefilename >> samefilename
[01:05] <andruk> cweagans: Inkscape, xfig, grace
[01:05] <cweagans> thanks
[01:06] <soundray> fsckr: what's the error you're getting?
[01:06] <terrorpup> Jordan nope it was oldfile >> newfile
[01:06] <andruk> cweagans: uh, i dont know about animation, but they are all good vector editors
[01:06] <fsckr> soundray, that it has exceeded its limit
[01:06] <Alata> cweagans: xara
[01:06] <soundray> fsckr: what's "it"?
[01:07] <fsckr> well whatever program it uses when you right click and click on create archive
[01:07] <OSBC> Hi, is someone using boinc with WCG project ?
[01:07] <h3h_timo> hey all, im running feisty and installed the video drivers for my ati mobility x1600 card and rebooted but i still am not getting the correct resolution... any ideas??
[01:07] <andruk> Whenever I try to play anything in rhythmbox, it tells me "Resource busy or not available" and wont play the music file.  help?
[01:07] <fsckr> i know its not a space problem.....i have 500GB drive with 400+ avail
[01:07] <Jordan_U> h3h_timo, How did you install the drivers?
[01:08] <soundray> fsckr: what extension did you choose?
[01:08] <fsckr> .zip
[01:08] <OSBC> andruk: check if you're playing on the right device (you can use aplay for example to check which device is the right one)
[01:08] <h3h_timo> Jordan_U, through the restricted devices manager
[01:08] <Azul> i bought a new monitor how can i add a larger resolution in the screen resolution box?
[01:08] <soundray> fsckr: does it happen when you use .tar.gz?
[01:09] <Jordan_U> h3h_timo, Try running this and choosing the resolutions you want supported, when asked for a driver choose "fglrx" : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[01:09] <soundray> !fixres > Azul, please read the private message from ubotu
[01:09] <fsckr> haven't tried that.  Is windows able to open a tar? Unfortunately my website is run from winblows server
[01:09] <taa> i'm looking for a good diff/merge grahical tool fir ubuntu, any one have an idea pelase ?
[01:09] <unagi> does ubuntu crash when using search for files for anyone?
[01:09] <OSBC> fsckr: winrar supports tar
[01:09] <sn0> fsckr using winrar yyes
[01:09] <dan-erik> Can anyone explain this to me: Aysiu wrote in a post at ubuntuforums that "gksudo nautilus" is so much better than "sudo nautilus", but he never explained why... So... Why?
[01:09] <andruk> OSBC: how do i get aplay?
[01:10] <fsckr> k thx guys Ill try that right now
[01:10] <Jordan_U> andruk, You should already have it, it is a terminal application
[01:10] <andruk> Jordan_U, OSBC: oaky, thanks!
[01:10] <OSBC> andruk: if you have alsa installed, you have aplay, otherwise, you can use another terminal application
[01:10] <soundray> dan-erik: there are certain situations where calling a graphical application with sudo instead of gksudo can lead to hard-to-track problems.
[01:11] <dan-erik> soundray: but... I just don't see the difference...
[01:11] <soundray> dan-erik: see also the ubotu factoid & link (private message)
[01:11] <soundray> !gksu > dan-erik
[01:11] <taa> i am looking for a diff/merge tool, please help !
[01:12] <CppIsWeird> im having a sound issue (and mic). When i first boot into ubuntu, i have sound, but very soon after booting, eventually nothing will make sound anymore. Can anyone instruct me on how to fix this?
[01:12] <Jordan_U> dan-erik, Look at the output from running a program with sudo rather than gksudo, you will likely get errors with the former and not the latter
[01:12] <andruk> OSBC: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27524/
[01:12] <dan-erik> soundray: ah, excellent. I'll check it out. thanks. :)
[01:13] <soundray> taa: man diff, man patch

[01:13] <Pirate_Hunter> Ive downloaded Firefox again but this time I can't find the startup icon in Applicatios/internet yet I can run it from terminal. How do I get the icon to show in apps?
[01:13] <taa> soundray i found meld, and i linke it
[01:14] <Jordan_U> Pirate_Hunter, By downloaded do you mean installed with apt / synaptic ?
[01:14] <brad_> what is the native resolution for a 15.1 inch widescreen monitor?
[01:15] <Pirate_Hunter> Jordan_U: nope I used autopackage to get the latest from the mozilla site
[01:15] <fluffles> hello people, im thinking about buying a motherboard with AMD chipset and onboard ATi X1250 videochip. anyone knows if this is powerful enough to run XGL smoothly? and if my chipset works fine with Ubuntu?
[01:15] <stumc> brad_: check at the monitors manufactures website for the monitor you have.
[01:15] <recoy^> i need help with this error The Application "nautilus" has quit unexpectedly.
[01:15] <recoy^> You can inform the developers of what happened to help them fix it.  Or you can restart the application right now.
[01:15] <IceTox> Anyone in here knows how to config a microphone.. It seems like the plug in my computer doesn't work.
[01:16] <DerangedDingo> Pirate_Hunter: Right click your applications, select Edit Menus or whatever, and right click the Firefox entry under Internet. If one isn't there, hit "Add starter"
[01:16] <Hazarath> Howdy, trying to figure out how to connect to an SSH network to proxy my connection.
[01:16] <recoy^> it wont go away
[01:16] <andruk> OSBC: i tried aplay, and it gave me an error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27524/
[01:16] <OSBC> andruk: i've seen, i'm looking for something
[01:16] <soundray> IceTox: make sure it's not muted. Double-click the volume icon, unmute and adjust the slider.
[01:16] <Pirate_Hunter> DerangedDingo: will try cause it wasn't in the edit menu options but will try to "add starter"
[01:16] <andruk> SOBC: oh, sry, take your time (and thanks)
[01:17] <DerangedDingo> fluffles: I'd recommend an nVidia chip if it's possible. I'll check your ATI card in a second though. The problem is that ATI drivers aren't very great
[01:17] <IceTox> soundray, it's not muted. Been there - checked that. Now, what's the next step? Do you know what to do? :S
[01:17] <ashraf> hi all
[01:17] <fluffles> DerangedDingo: yeah i figured that. but besides the drivers, is that GPU powerful enough? or do i need something like GeForce 8500GT 256MB DDR3
[01:17] <OSBC> andruk: pastebin the result of "aplay -l" please
[01:18] <recoy^> can someone help me with this error The Application "nautilus" has quit unexpectedly.
[01:18] <Pirate_Hunter> DerangedDingo: yeah got it back thanx
[01:18] <recoy^> it wont go away
[01:18] <soundray> IceTox: under Switches, have you clicked Microphone Capture and Mic Boost? (You may have to enable these switches in Edit-Preferences)
[01:18] <Hazarath> Trying to figure out how to connect to an SSH network to proxy my connection.
[01:18] <OSBC> andruk: and look for a wav file
[01:18] <andruk> OSBC: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27527/
[01:19] <OSBC> andruk:  erm. that's weird, seems like you haven't the drivers for your sound card, but i'm not sure
[01:19] <DerangedDingo> fluffles: most video cards are powerful enough. it;s just the drivers to worry about. I run Compiz with AIGLX using a 64mb Intel Graphics Integrated Controller
[01:20] <Siph0n> this command: gksudo -u svn gedit /home/svn/repositories/Bingo/conf/svnserve.conf , gives this error, cannot open display: , any ideas why? :(
[01:20] <DerangedDingo> fluffles: very smoothly too
[01:20] <andruk> SOBC: i can play mp3s just fine in other applications
[01:20] <soundray> Hazarath: the keyword is port forwarding
[01:20] <fluffles> DerangedDingo: i see, so its not that GPU-intensive after all
[01:20] <andruk> OSBC: i can play mp3s just fine in other applications
[01:20] <Hazarath> soundray, explain, please. I might add that I'm trying to avoid my ISP's 'traffic shaping'.
[01:21] <fluffles> DerangedDingo: would you object to a private chat?
[01:21] <DerangedDingo> fluffles: nope
[01:21] <Ausylo> hey guys, im trying to install 7.04 and it runs to the hardware scanning and all of that, beeps 2 times seperately, then goes to a black screen and stays there
[01:22] <soundray> Hazarath: essentially, you open a port on a remote machine and leave it to ssh to tunnel the traffic to your local machine. It's a bit unintuitive to set up, but there are howtos around.
[01:22] <andruk> OSBC: i take that back....  i do have jack and pulseaudio instaled
[01:22] <OSBC> andruck: okay, do you get a sound if you do that : aplay -Dhw:1 <somefile>
[01:22] <soundray> Hazarath: http://www.ssh.com/support/documentation/online/ssh/adminguide/32/Port_Forwarding.html comes up
[01:23] <soundray> Hazarath: I have my doubts that it will solve your problem, though
[01:23] <imbecile> can someone send me a screenshot their uber 1337 conkyrc
[01:23] <Ausylo> can anyone help?
[01:23] <johnnyg> I have a weird, user created error.  Apps like Beryl, Gaim (Pidgin) and Printer (when you are printing) show in the top right of the screen near the clock. While going through properties or dragging stuff around up there, I seem to have set a flag that says " don't show the icon up there, even if it is running"  I have checked gaim and the preferences say "show the icon", so I believe it is an ubunut desktop setting. Any idea where
[01:23] <johnnyg> I got to unset it?
[01:23] <IceTox> soundray, switches? I'm a little bit new to ubuntu, where is the switches where you can enable mic capture and boost? I can't see anything like that on either the volume controller nor the system->preferences->sound
[01:24] <johnnyg> *where I go to unset it?

[01:25] <defcons> how do I set the recording device?
[01:25] <defcons> for mic
[01:25] <OSBC> andruk: whatever, rhythmbox uses the config in System->Preferences->Sound , maybe your config here isn't good
[01:25] <soundray> bobsomebody: most routers will let you have the same IP for WLAN as for LAN
[01:25] <IceTox> soundray, that only shows me what are going to be listed in the mixer application.. (mic, volume, Line-in, CD, Line-1, phone in.. etc)
[01:26] <bobsomebody> soundray: its physically two machines
[01:26] <h3h_timo> hey all, ive been trying to set the resolution of my screen higher than it is, and ive been having no luck, ive had no problems before when installing the fglrx driver, but now its not doing so hot, are there any quick ways to change the resolution?
[01:26] <hippie> whats the command to check a HDD for bad sectors?
[01:26] <bobsomebody> soundray, does that make a difference?
[01:27] <kafran> someone here use aDesklets? can help me?
[01:27] <DerangedDingo> fluffles: i'm recieving your messages but you aren't recieving mine I guess
[01:27] <soundray> bobsomebody: you can use another 192.168 subnet then -- e.g. <IP_ADDRESS> for the wireless router
[01:27] <DerangedDingo> *receiving*
[01:27] <fluffles> DerangedDingo: hm strange, i've registered!
[01:27] <Celdronis> Scunizi : here is my problem.I ran this likne u just wrote me to fix my screens refresh rate.But I messed my language settings
[01:27] <Ausylo> heh
[01:27] <OSBC> DerangedDingo: to send privates you have to be registered to the nickserv service
[01:27] <soundray> Celdronis: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:28] <fluffles> DerangedDingo: ah, you haven't registered to nickserv, so you cant send me messages
[01:28] <OSBC> andruk: still alive ?
[01:28] <bobsomebody> soundray, ok, how should I set my ip on that server? IE, default gateway, subnet mask etc...
[01:28] <Celdronis> Scunizi : u see I need both Greek and English.So how do i Choose BOTH these langs please? using dkpg....
[01:28] <Scunizi> Celdronis, not sure what that means.. the command just regenerates the xorg file for the video.
[01:28] <fluffles> DerangedDingo: might want to /msg NickServ REGISTER <password>
[01:28] <quaal> why does shared folders gui make like 300 copies of the same folder in smb.conf when i try to make samba shares with it.
[01:28] <Scunizi> Celdronis, I don't have an answer to that.. sorry.
[01:28] <bobsomebody> soundray, as far as the external nic is concerned
[01:28] <andruk> SOBC: oh.  that helped.  but in the sounds dialog box, the sound capture of audio conferencing doesnt work...
[01:29] <Celdronis> Scunizi :Video and monitor worked PERFECT [@ optimal refresh rate]  ,but i answered some questions and the lang options messed
[01:29] <OSBC> andruk: maybe your mic isn't plugged or is muted ?
[01:30] <andruk> OSBC: no, it pops up an error whenever i select anything (autodetect is not an option)
[01:30] <soundray> bobsomebody: that's hard to answer, not knowing what the topology of your network will be.
[01:30] <andruk> OSBC: sry, i keep misspelling your name
[01:30] <OSBC> no probs
[01:30] <Celdronis> someone knows how TWO languages are setup using -reconfigure xserver please?
[01:30] <OSBC> (it's just harder to see the hilights :p)
[01:30] <soundray> bobsomebody: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linag2/book/index.html might help
[01:31] <Celdronis> someone that uses more than one language with ubuintu here?
[01:32] <snail_> I'm having issues with my man pages, I can't 'man fopen', most things are returning that there is no manual entry
[01:32] <dmb> any wiki page for bash colors/
[01:32] <snail_> ideas?
[01:32] <Ausylo> i got 7.04 alt cd working fine in text mode, regular graphic mode will never work for me for some reason
[01:32] <dmb> ?
[01:32] <soundray> snail_: install manpages-dev
[01:32] <snail_> thansk!
[01:32] <snail_> =)
[01:32] <robj> hey folks
[01:32] <OSBC> andruk: I think you're sound card's driver isn't well supporting it, I have much more Subdevices than you with my Audigy
[01:32] <robj> got my new Dell 1505n with Ubuntu pre-installed and wireless doesn't work
[01:32] <robj> at all
[01:32] <robj> anyone have a similar experience?
[01:33] <OSBC> andruk: you wanna search in the forums how do people with the same sound card
[01:33] <omha> robj, did you turn it on?
[01:33] <soundray> robj: plenty of people have trouble with Broadcom devices
[01:33] <Celdronis> thx scunizi :)
[01:33] <hippie> whats the command to check a HDD for bad sectors? my computer got knocked off the table while it was running, I wanna know if it damaged any part of my HDD
[01:33] <robj> not broadcom
[01:33] <robj> intel
[01:33] <robj> 3945abg
[01:33] <robj> its on and connects to the router
[01:33] <RememberPO1> /J #mumble
[01:33] <andruk> OSBC: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27532/                  thats the error it gives me.  as long as i can record something, im fine, but i would like to record something...
[01:33] <robj> gets an IP and I can ping it from any other system
[01:34] <robj> but it do anything else
[01:34] <robj> cant connect to the internet or anything else
[01:34] <andruk> hippie: in a terminal: fsck
[01:34] <hippie> ok
[01:34] <hippie> ty
[01:34] <soundray> robj: can you ping another IP from the laptop?
[01:34] <andruk> hippie: np
[01:34] <h3h_timo> hey all, how do i just change the resolution of a monitor?? like you can do in fedora and rhel?
[01:34] <robj> yup
[01:34] <robj> only on the local lan
[01:34] <Jordan_U_> robj, You say you can ping it, can it ping anything else?
[01:34] <robj> I can even access the router from it
[01:34] <robj> yeah
[01:35] <robj> just not outside the lan
[01:35] <soundray> !fixres > h3h_timo, please read ubotu's private message
[01:35] <robj> which makes no sense to me
[01:35] <andruk> h3h_timo: should be System > Preferences > Screen Resolution
[01:35] <h3h_timo> soundray, thanks
[01:35] <OSBC> andruk: well, I can't help you more. Maybe you'd get more luck on google
[01:35] <soundray> robj: then your gateway isn't set up correctly
[01:35] <robj> its dhcp
[01:35] <robj> whats to set up?
[01:35] <andruk> OSBC: okay, thanks for helping me so much.  (i kinda feel like an idiot)
[01:35] <OSBC> andruk: don't
[01:35] <robj> everything in this house is running Ubuntu and gets the same DHCP from the same router
[01:35] <soundray> robj: the dhcp server, probably
[01:36] <robj> wired and wirelessly
[01:36] <CppIsWeird> what does the command ln do exactly? ( i read the man page with little more understanding achieved )
[01:36] <soundray> robj: okay
[01:36] <robj> I am on another ubuntu laptop now
[01:36] <OSBC> andruk: we all have things to learn ( and I have a large part left to learn )
[01:36] <robj> on the same wireless router talking to you
[01:36] <Jordan_U_> robj, Did it ever work correctly?
[01:36] <robj> no
[01:36] <andruk> CppIsWeird: its kind of like .lnk files on windows, but way more options than anybody knows what to do with
[01:36] <robj> I just opened it and fired it up about 30 mins ago
[01:36] <slickw0rm> best google it CPP
[01:37] <robj> I even went as far as re-installing the factory load through GRUB and it hasnt changed a thing
[01:37] <chohmann> robj: is your router setup to only allow a specific set of mac addresses, i.e. so your neighbors don't leech your connection?
[01:37] <andruk> OSBC: i will never be satisfied until ive coded my own OS.  which wont happen.  an eternal studeant i will be
[01:37] <soundray> robj: is ethernet connected at the same time?
[01:37] <robj> nope wide open
[01:37] <CppIsWeird> andruk, "but way more options then anybody knows what to do with" that statement could be applied to just about every linux command. >_<'
[01:37] <robj> nope
[01:37] <OSBC> Well, time to sleep for me, have all a good morning/afternoon/evening/night depending of your time zone ;)
[01:37] <[UPG] Pritchard> http://digg.com/politics/White_House_Cheney_s_office_SUBPOENAED
[01:37] <andruk> mrigns_: vulgar, but awesome
[01:37] <jrib> !offtopic | [UPG] Pritchard
[01:37] <Jordan_U_> robj, Is this one of the new Ubuntu Dells?
[01:37] <ubotu> [UPG] Pritchard: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:38] <soundray> robj: any difference in 'route' output on your various machines?
[01:38] <[UPG] Pritchard> Lol.  Okie.  :P  Random chatter I will bring elsewhere.
[01:38] <OSBC> andruk: don't be negative, Bill Gates started as a student ;)
[01:38] <andruk> CppIsWeird: Choice is the opposite of force
[01:38] <slickw0rm> i recently reformatted my windows partition, and somehow, grub doesnt load anymore.. how do i reinstall it?
[01:38] <jrib> !grub > slickw0rm (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:38] <slickw0rm> coz my linux partition is still there
[01:38] <slickw0rm> just cant get to it thats all
[01:38] <andruk> OSBC: I prefer the Mark Shuttleworth example ;-)
[01:39] <soundray> slickw0rm: in that private message, follow the Recovering... instructions
[01:39] <robj> and when I say bizarre I aint kidding
[01:39] <slickw0rm> recovering?
[01:39] <robj> nah
[01:39] <slickw0rm> ohokok
[01:39] <soundray> slickw0rm: first URL in the private message that ubotu sent you
[01:39] <robj> I even manually set the routing table up to go through a different WAP
[01:39] <robj> no change
[01:39] <robj> wired works though
[01:39] <slickw0rm> oh...okok... thanks
[01:39] <robj> it's a bit confusing
[01:40] <chohmann> does it work from a livecd boot?
[01:40] <robj> kinda hoping someone else experienced this behavior in hopes of an answer
[01:40] <chohmann> robj: does it work from livecd?
[01:41] <ramza3> hello gnome/ubuntu, putting the keys ctrl-alt-d together is a strain on my hands,  why 3 keys?  same with copy/paste
[01:41] <robj> haven't tried that yet
[01:41] <robj> although thats next on the to do list
[01:41] <chohmann> robj: also, does it work from starbucks? :)
[01:41] <robj> if it does then I will just install of the stock feisty iso
[01:41] <slickw0rm> thanks guys..ive got it now
[01:41] <robj> well I will be lurking
[01:41] <robj> off to the live CD
[01:41] <robj> will report later
[01:41] <Jordan_U> robj, Anything out of the ordinary in your /etc/network/interfaces?
[01:42] <robj> nope
[01:42] <robj> stock as stock gets
[01:42] <Jordan_U> robj, Is this one of the new Ubuntu Dells? ( just curious about the recovery from grub )
[01:42] <Jordan_U> or system76?
[01:42] <chohmann> robj: have you tried connecting to a different wireless router?
[01:43] <Smygis> ramza3, mark the text you wish to copy and middleklick (Mousescroll, both mousebuttons) where you want to paste it. And as for ctrl-alt-d, I dont know what is does
[01:43] <robj> yeah
[01:43] <robj> been there
[01:43] <illriginal> Has anyone installed Photoshop 7.0 using Crossover?
[01:43] <omha> robj, can you connect to http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ ?
[01:44] <slickw0rm> guys... dell is really weird... from what i heard.. u cant get the ubuntu on a dell through a business purchase
[01:44] <chohmann> robj: so it won't connect to any wireless router?
[01:44] <slickw0rm> lol
[01:44] <robj> it connects
[01:44] <robj> just wont pass traffic/resolve anything outside the lan
[01:44] <kitche> slickw0rm: you can't but if it's though business your IT can handle ubuntu just as easy
[01:44] <slickw0rm> yeah..
[01:44] <slickw0rm> true
[01:44] <Jordan_U> slickw0rm, I know they report that, but I have at least configured an order through small business...
[01:44] <Smygis> illriginal, No, But with wine.
[01:45] <andruk> kitche: i think the ITs would appreciate 'buntu more than 'doze
[01:45] <slickw0rm> u have?
[01:45] <soundray> robj: maybe it isn't updating your /etc/resolv.conf properly
[01:45] <slickw0rm> oh... shoots... didnt get my facts right then...
[01:45] <illriginal> smygis... did you have problems with your font? say if you try to type something, then get an error about fonts missing?
[01:45] <soundray> robj: dhclient should normally do that
[01:45] <illriginal> smygis... my font folder doesn't exist in my photoshop folder.
[01:45] <chohmann> robj: sorry, just to be clear, you tried a different router and it exhibits the same problem?
[01:45] <Pavel> Hi. I've installed Ubuntu on a laptop. (Normally, I use Debian, but I decided to give Ubuntu a try.) I been trying to figure out how to set up encrypted /home /var /tmp and swap without wrecking the hibernate capability. On my previous laptop, I've set up encrypted filesystems and swap, and I've set up hibernation (with some success), though never both at once. I found some howtos that describe it, but the best one requires a fixed swap
[01:45] <slickw0rm> here in malaysia..they still shift dells with windows...just windows :(
[01:45] <Pavel>  password and typing in a password twice. Are there any better solutions?
[01:45] <Smygis> illriginal, Not that i know, no.
[01:46] <Kyle123> Ok guys i got a problem i am using the Allernate Ubuntu install cd cuz the othere wont work with my graphical interface it says, but when i install with the Alt. cd, it gets to Configuring WVDIAL (75%) and just stops all together what could be the problem here ?
[01:47] <andruk> slickw0rm: sorry, that sucks
[01:47] <illriginal> Has anyone here used Crossover to install photoshop? My fonts are missing when I try to type out text onto a photoshop image.
[01:47] <Smygis> illriginal, I sitched to the gimp. Its a bit of a learning curve, But it works for me.
[01:47] <soundray> Kyle123: a faulty CD most likely. Check it with the Check CD option
[01:47] <Smygis> switched
[01:47] <illriginal> nah... it's not good enough for me
[01:47] <slickw0rm> use wine
[01:47] <illriginal> and too complicated for simple things :P
[01:47] <slickw0rm> i think that helps with the crossover
[01:47] <Jordan_U> illriginal, Have you tried installing msttcorefonts ?
[01:47] <slickw0rm> illriginal
[01:47] <DavidCraft> I installed a package to get my i830 intel video car drive to work in wide screen mode, now my synaptic driver is gone.    I tried inserting the symantic stuff into teh file directly but this crashes xserver.
[01:47] <illriginal> Jordan_U... no sir. is that located in the synaptic?
[01:48] <illriginal> yeah slickw0rm?
[01:48] <pramz> hmm 25mbps download speed is nice :)\
[01:48] <Tenerifedave> i have a problem installing proftpd here is the paste http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27531/ - if anyone could help me that would be great
[01:48] <Jordan_U> illriginal, Yes
[01:48] <Ausylo> bnt :)
[01:48] <slickw0rm> illriginal...im not sure...but i think that wine would allow u to install a windows based photoshop on linux
[01:49] <Jordan_U> DavidCraft, Can you be more clear about what you did / what your problem is, from what I can tell you installed 915resolution but it no longer works
[01:49] <illriginal> slickw0rm I believe that wine has too many bugs with photoshop.
[01:49] <kafran> can someone help me with aDesklets?
[01:49] <slickw0rm> it worked for most of the applications i was running
[01:49] <slickw0rm> oh...okok
[01:49] <soundray> Tenerifedave: please paste your /etc/hosts
[01:50] <slickw0rm> well..i didnt try photoshop on it.. sorry
[01:50] <Skycloud> how do I open .txt files?
[01:50] <soundray> Tenerifedave: on the pastebin please ;)
[01:50] <slickw0rm> thanks for lettime me know tho
[01:50] <kitche> Skycloud: gedit /path/to/txtfile
[01:50] <kafran> Skycloud: open to edit or read only?
[01:50] <duelboot> I bought a new monitor and between switching with using the restricted driver and editing xorg.conf (I thought I saved a working backup copy...wrong)...now it tells me  Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)   and No Drivers available....Fatal server error:  no screens found        please assist
[01:50] <Skycloud> kafran: read
[01:50] <Jordan_U> Skycloud, Applications -> Accessories -> Text Editor
[01:50] <duelboot> restricted driver for my video card that is
[01:50] <kafran> Skycloud: try: #cat file.txt or #less file.txt (in terminal)
[01:50] <Kyle123> Soundray: i will check it and see what it says
[01:51] <kafran> someone here use aDesklets?
[01:51] <pramz> Tenerifedave, is the hostname computer defined in /etc/hosts ?
[01:52] <Tenerifedave> yeah
[01:52] <Jordan_U> duelboot, What do you mean by switching between using the restricted driver and editing your xorg.conf? the two are not mutually exclusive.
[01:52] <Skycloud> How do I use crossover?
[01:52] <palomer> hello
[01:52] <pi3> where can i get some linux stats (usage, countries)?
[01:52] <palomer> I'd like to rip a CD to mp3
[01:52] <palomer> not ogg!
[01:53] <DavidCraft> i installed 915resolution, and the synaptic entry for my touchpad is no longer there. I tried to dpkg-reconfigure and that left me with a blue screen apon restarting gdm. I REALLY want tapping off, its driving me to drink, and the only way i've seen any examples is using the synaptic touchpad driver. I've tried to add the Options to what i think is the driver in the .conf, but with no effect on the tapping, like: "MaxTapTime" "0"
[01:53] <duelboot> Jordan_U, I realized that...but when I switched to my restricted driver, I noticed it would update my xorg.conf...
[01:53] <eimajenthat> hello, I'm having a little trouble with the nVidia-glx driver on 7.04 on my Dell C840.  I got X to start correctly, but a block on the right of the screen displays vertical lines, and a block on the bottom redisplays the top of the desktop.
[01:53] <andruk> CppIsWeird: python is weirder
[01:53] <soundray> palomer: install lame
[01:53] <andruk> CppIsWeird: ;-)
[01:53] <soundray> !info lame > palomer
[01:53] <duelboot> Jordan_U, I tried to make changes to allow a greater screen resolution and messed up my xorg.conf somehow
[01:53] <robj> ok live CD works
[01:53] <CppIsWeird> andruk, MUCH agreed.
[01:53] <robj> must be a corrupt image on this thing
[01:53] <robj> no biggie
[01:53] <pramz> Tenerifedave, i'd recommend checking the config file
[01:54] <robj> fixed in 30 mins or your money back <as I click the install button>
[01:54] <Jordan_U> duelboot, Try running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[01:54] <andruk> CppIsWeird: what do you program in?
[01:54] <logankoester> Can anyone tell me how to execute a bash command in motd.tail?
[01:54] <eimajenthat> How do I make the desktop be on the entire screen like it was with the nv driver?
[01:54] <soundray> pramz: Tenerifedave seems to be in write-only mode
[01:54] <Jordan_U> duelboot, If you want more options take out the "-phigh"
[01:54] <CppIsWeird> andruk, cobalt
[01:54] <logankoester> I mean to use it's output as my motd
[01:55] <pramz> soundray, write-only mode ?
[01:55] <Tenerifedave> oh soundray?
[01:55] <Jordan_U> eimajenthat, What do you mean by on the entire screen?
[01:55] <CppIsWeird> andruk, but im more proficient in malbolge.
[01:55] <andruk> CppIsWeird: o...m...g  i can see why you say cpp is weird
[01:55] <slickw0rm> anyone here C programming on linux?
[01:55] <delcoyote> hi is there any software for ubuntu that acts like an alarm clock? but music can be added?
[01:55] <slickw0rm> anyone here done* C programming on linux?
[01:55] <duelboot> Jordan_U, got it...it worked perfectly...thank you very much
[01:55] <CppIsWeird> andruk, im kidding, i have a very long time running background in Java.
[01:56] <Jordan_U> duelboot, np
[01:56] <Pirate_Hunter> how do you enable resolution in Xserver cause I cant figure out the key to press to tick the resolution I want
[01:56] <soundray> Pirate_Hunter: space
[01:56] <andruk> CppIsWeird: oh, thank goodness.  i thought you were either a noob or a pre-linux guy.
[01:56] <Pirate_Hunter> soundray: I dont know if I should just cry after all that its space
[01:56] <jrib> !anyone | slickw0rm
[01:56] <ubotu> slickw0rm: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:57] <bthornton> I recently changed my 100 Mbit NIC to a gigabit NIC in my Ubuntu machine and I have read that, in order to get peak performance, I need to enable "jumbo frames".  What's the proper way to do this?
[01:57] <bthornton> ifconfig reports that the MTU is still at 1500 for the gigabit interface
[01:57] <eimajenthat> Jordan_U: Well, right 1.5 inches just has vertical lines, and the bottom 1.2 inches just shows the top of the desktop again
[01:57] <andruk> CppIsWeird: i take it that malbolge is a made up language then?
[01:57] <soundray> Pirate_Hunter: let your tears run freely, but don't spoil your keyboard ;)
[01:57] <andruk> lol
[01:58] <slickw0rm> who here does programming on linux
[01:58] <andruk> Pirate_Hunter: you could allow the tears to collect on the space bar and depress it.  ;-)
[01:58] <slickw0rm> C programming to be precise?
[01:58] <CppIsWeird> andruk, no, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbolge
[01:58] <andruk> slickw0rm: what do you need to know?
[01:58] <Pirate_Hunter> funny guys very funny
[01:58] <jrib> slickw0rm: ask your next question
[01:58] <Jordan_U> slickw0rm, Is this a poll or do you have a question to ask?
[01:59] <slickw0rm> yeah...am asking a question
[01:59] <eimajenthat> I'm having a little trouble with the nVidia-glx driver on 7.04 on my Dell C840.  I got X to start correctly, but a block on the right of the screen displays vertical lines, and a block on the bottom redisplays the top of the desktop.
[01:59] <slickw0rm> about the programming...
[01:59] <illriginal> Jordan_U is there a site that has different fonts for linux? Artistic like fonts as well?
[01:59] <slickw0rm> what IDE does anyone here use
[01:59] <jrib> slickw0rm: no you're not, you're just going to get a bunch of "yes"
[01:59] <slickw0rm> well..okok
[02:00] <slickw0rm> what IDE does anyone use
[02:00] <Pirate_Hunter> anyway im setting up xserver cause at the moment it is out of range so im gonna need help
[02:00] <HymnToLife> vi
[02:00] <andruk> CppIsWeird: that is so freaking cool.
[02:00] <Jordan_U> illriginal, AFIK any font can be used in Linux
[02:00] <eimajenthat> I'm sure I've done something wrong in my xorg.conf, but I'm not sure what.  All I changed was the driver to "nvidia" instead of "nv" and added an option to use "DFP"
[02:00] <petergreen> does ubuntu make apt archives availible for versions that are out of support and if so where?
[02:00] <glogman> guys i try to join a channel and it says i have to be "identified"... what does that mean?
[02:00] <soundray> CppIsWeird: thank you! Finally a language that will motivate me to learn programming.
[02:00] <kitche> !register | glogman
[02:00] <ubotu> glogman: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[02:00] <kitche> !identify | glogman
[02:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about identify - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:00] <glogman> thanks
[02:01] <illriginal> Jordan_U doesn't it have to be a certain font type?...
[02:01] <takua108> I've got a problem installing ubuntu
[02:01] <kitche> hmm maybe we should have a identify switch?
[02:01] <andruk> slickw0rm: Visual Studio running on wine  ;-)
[02:01] <takua108> I keep getting error 18 from grub
[02:01] <duelboot> Jordan_U, can I bother you again...bought a Westinghouse 37 (lvm-37w3) monitor...have nvidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400...am looking to getter better than 1280 x 1024...how would I do that?
[02:01] <slickw0rm> haha...
[02:01] <takua108> any ideas?
[02:01] <slickw0rm> okok...but was thinking of more of a linux way...
[02:01] <slickw0rm> hehe
[02:01] <slickw0rm> but thanks anyways
[02:01] <andruk> lol
[02:01] <andruk> np
[02:01] <kitche> Pirate_Hunter: umm you can do sudo X -configure just to get a basic X running then configure it later
[02:01] <kin1> hello all, would someone please help me figure out why I'm getting a grub error 17 under 7.04 AMD64?
[02:01] <Jordan_U> illriginal, Considering that you can use Microsoft's fonts in Linux I would assume you could use anyone's, but I don't know much about fonts
[02:01] <HymnToLife> slickw0rm, vi for teh win !
[02:02] <HymnToLife> illriginal, any TrueType font will work
[02:02] <Jordan_U> duelboot, Same command.
[02:02] <slickw0rm> thanks mate
[02:02] <kitche> kin1: your root () is most likely setup wrong
[02:02] <illriginal> PERFECT! that's what I need Truetype :P
[02:02] <illriginal> thanks!
[02:02] <andruk> slickw0rm: once i learn cpp, i will probably use Anjuta
[02:02] <Skycloud> ubuntu uses .deb files right?
[02:03] <worb> hello, i'm having some trouble installing realplayer I was wondering if someone could help
[02:03] <slickw0rm> anjuta? thats an IDE?
[02:03] <kitche> Skycloud: for packages yes but make sure it's ubuntu package and not debian
[02:03] <Pirate_Hunter> kitche: did that but got tired of 1024*800 reso & graphics on 3d not rendering properly
[02:03] <duelboot> didn't do it...that's the best it gave me...yesterday I was displaying better than that
[02:03] <takua108> ok I've installed ubuntu, and I'm sure it works great, but I can't tell because GRUB won't load (dual-bootin' XP here). I had to get "Super GRUB Disk" and uninstall GRUB and put XP in, and it worked, but now I can't get into Ubuntu.
[02:03] <Jordan_U> Skycloud, Yes
[02:03] <duelboot> Jordan_U, ^^^
[02:03] <kermitus> Ok well I gotta ask, I tried reading as much as I could but I am still stumped... I have the Ubuntu Bible which is about 800 pages and nowhere does it make it clear howto install apps to a different hard drive or partition on the drive. Is it dependent on the partitions or hard drives disk name or is it defendant on installing on the terminal using apt-get or some other program that searches and installs files via various repository'
[02:03] <kitche> Pirate_Hunter: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is another way that ubuntu uses
[02:03] <duelboot> didn't do it...that's the best it gave me...yesterday I was displaying better than that... Jordan_U
[02:03] <cables> Is there no way to manage albums in F-Spot? Am I just dense, or have they completely shunned albums in favor of tags?
[02:03] <Jordan_U> duelboot, Did you use "nvidia" as the driver ( not "nv" ) ?
[02:04] <andruk> kermitus: the repository thing
[02:04] <kermitus> dependent not defendant, sorry :)
[02:04] <kitche> kermitus: the packages actually have a set directory hiearchy
[02:04] <Pirate_Hunter> kitche: doing the xserver config now just some options i dont know which ill need help on
[02:04] <kitche> Pirate_Hunter: ok what are they
[02:04] <duelboot> hmmmm...don't know...how do I tell?
[02:04] <kin1> kitchen, /dev/sdb3 is where I have /boot, and my grub entry has root as (hd1,2). I believe this is correct
[02:04] <fisherwork> giving mythtv a whirl right now on a vm
[02:04] <jrib> cables: what's the difference between an album or a bunch of photos with a single tag?
[02:04] <slickw0rm> thanks andruk
[02:04] <kitche> kin1: yep it is but you should have a root ( ) by itself
[02:04] <andruk> slickw0rm: np
[02:05] <andruk> bye all, thanks for the help
[02:05] <kitche> kin1: that root is the place where grub is installed to
[02:05] <kin1> it's installed on sdb3. I'm affraid I don't follow
[02:05] <eimajenthat> Could someone take a look at my xorg.conf? http://pastey.net/69978
[02:06] <kermitus> Really, so I could not recreate the directory structure on a separate drive to satisfy the hierarchy issue?
[02:06] <kitche> kin1: this root is not part of any of the kernel lines
[02:06] <Ausylo> hey guys, i just installed 7.04, installation complete.. restarted, loaded up thru the GUI and then the screen is black and its just hanging there
[02:07] <cables> jrib, it's two different levels of categorization. Photos can be in only one album (say, an event or something like that) but they can be tagged multiple things (place, time, people in them)
[02:07] <Pirate_Hunter> kitche:  will tell you when i get to it, im multi-tasking but eating is having higher priority
[02:07] <cables> jrib, it's just that the tag-only paradigm just seems very clumsy for me, and it doesn't transfer well to online photo galleries.
[02:07] <kin1> what's wrong that makes you want to have someone look at your xorg.conf file, eimajenthat?
[02:08] <Ausylo> anyone help?
[02:08] <cables> Flickr has sets, Picasa has albums, tags won't replace either of those in that case since Flickr already has tags
[02:08] <Bin> is it possible to retrieve a router's password through wireless?
[02:08] <Skycloud> I just downloaded and install crossover but I can't find out where it's at, what do I do?
[02:08] <fisherwork> can anybody help me figure out why my brand new hp notebook won't boot any version of ubuntu 7.04?
[02:08] <kin1> kitchen, this is my grub entry
[02:09] <kin1> http://rafb.net/p/U8SPvv25.html
[02:09] <kin1> I believe it's correct
[02:09] <kitche> kin1: that's not what I m talking about it's not part of that section at all
[02:09] <Pirate_Hunter> kitche: since im back heer how much memory should I give to my graphics card
[02:09] <kin1> oh
[02:09] <kitche> kin1: it's toward the beginning of the menu.lst
[02:10] <takua108> can anyone tell me why I'm getting grub error 18 on my 7.04? :|
[02:10] <kitche> Pirate_Hunter: up to you but you don't have to tell xorg about it
[02:10] <Bin> Pirate_Hunter: as much memory as you can
[02:10] <Jordan_U> Pirate_Hunter, Is it integrated ( intel )? if not then none
[02:10] <Skycloud> Does anybody here have crossover?
[02:10] <fisherhome> i do
[02:10] <kitche> Pirate_Hunter: my vram is part of the bios
[02:11] <Pirate_Hunter> kitche & Bin & Jordan_U: this PC is SiS everythign is provided by them and all the components are default I dotn know how much memory this card comes with or takes so what should I do?
[02:11] <eimajenthat> kin1: Thanks for asking.  I just got the nvidia-glx driver installed instead of nv, and now part of the screen is not being used.  It's a Dell C840, with a 15" 1600x1200 screen.  However, Gnome will now only let me use 1400x1050, and the remaining pixels in the screen are displaying uselessness.
[02:12] <scoobydoo28139> what is the copy paste bin url?
[02:12] <Bin> Pirate_Hunter: then you must learn.. ur using ubuntu i persume
[02:12] <kitche> takua108: look up gentoo grub error 18 and click the first link it tells you how to fix your error and such
[02:12] <Jordan_U> !paste > scoobydoo28139
[02:12] <scoobydoo28139> ty

[02:13] <kitche> Pirate_Hunter: you can leave that part out if you want to
[02:13] <Pirate_Hunter> Bin: yes i am but i still dont know how much to give
[02:13] <Jordan_U> scoobydoo28139, np
[02:13] <takua108> kitche: you mean I should Google that?
[02:13] <Bin> Pirate_Hunter: give to what?
[02:13] <Bin> Pirate_Hunter: ur using vbox or something?
[02:13] <kitche> takua108: yeah it's hard to explain but their document tells you
[02:13] <Pirate_Hunter> kitche: how would that affect the system afterwards
[02:13] <Ausylo> anyone know why after a fresh install of 7.04, it goes to load up and then just hangs at a black screen
[02:13] <takua108> ok thanks kitche
[02:14] <kitche> Pirate_Hunter: probbaly you won't notice
[02:14] <Pirate_Hunter> Bin: im setting Xserver
[02:14] <eimajenthat> kin1: do you have any idea what could be causing this oddness?
[02:15] <Pirate_Hunter> kitche: lol i like that "(probably) wont notice"
[02:15] <Bin> Pirate_Hunter: what kind of server is this for?
[02:15] <kitche> Pirate_Hunter: I don't notice at all between my nvidia and my intel
[02:15] <kin1> kitche, I don't have a line like that, nor do I believe I've even seen a line you described
[02:15] <Pirate_Hunter> Bin do you know what im talking about?
[02:15] <kitche> kin1: well that's probably why your getting grub error 17
[02:16] <Pirate_Hunter> kitche: how much is 64mb in kB
[02:16] <Ausylo> ?
[02:16] <illriginal> Hey uhm... guys? Where's the font folder?
[02:16] <Bin> 64 000 kb
[02:16] <jrib> illriginal: ~/.fonts
[02:16] <jrib> !fonts > illriginal (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:16] <Bin> unless u r talking about byte and bit
[02:17] <mandra> hello
[02:17] <Pirate_Hunter> Bin: bin kilobyte im pretty sure its kyllobyte (kB)
[02:17] <Jordan_U> !hi | mandra
[02:17] <ubotu> mandra: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:17] <illriginal> jrib... it's not in: /home/illriginal/.fonts
[02:17] <jrib> illriginal: create it
[02:18] <illriginal> those are other fonts I installed with a mac theme... oh ok...
[02:18] <jrib> illriginal: you're trying to install a font right?
[02:18] <illriginal> jrib, but how will photoshop recognize where the fonts are?
[02:18] <illriginal> yeah jrib.
[02:18] <kitche> kin1: what is your / mounted to?
[02:18] <kitche> kin1: since I left your pastebin
[02:18] <jrib> illriginal: photoshop?  as in "photoshop running through wine"?
[02:18] <illriginal> well through crossover
[02:19] <jrib> illriginal: ah don't know about crossover.  You can install a font in ubuntu by dropping it in ~/.fonts.  What crossover does, I have no idea.  It's probably best to ask crossover for support about that
[02:19] <illriginal> jrib.. i installed a file from synaptic, the msfonts... where did they go?
[02:19] <illriginal> ok jrib
[02:19] <Pirate_Hunter> hmm i guess u guyz/females got bored of me :-( im on my own again
[02:19] <kitche> illriginal: probably they went into /usr/lib/fonts or something like that
[02:19] <illriginal> kitche.... ahhh ok ill check that :P
[02:20] <IndyGunFreak> Pirate_Hunter: whats your issue now?
[02:20] <kitche> Pirate_Hunter: 64megs is like 63xxxxxx can't remember the other numbers

[02:20] <larson9999> so do i!
[02:20] <asdf> Is it possible to display images sizes of thumbnails on the desktop?
[02:20] <Pirate_Hunter> IndyGunFreak: setting xserver manually, asking what is 64mb in kB and a few other questions thta will pop up soon
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> Pirate_Hunter: enter in google, something like, "How many kb are in a MB", and it will pop up a formula for you
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> i think its like 1099 though.
[02:21] <Pirate_Hunter> kitche: I knew it was going to be soem ridiculous number oh well might have to elave it blank but then it will take from the system which is annoying and cause major 100% CPU
[02:21] <Jordan_U> Pirate_Hunter, use -phigh and it won't ask those questions
[02:21] <kitche> Pirate_Hunter: well it will take from the system anyways
[02:22] <IndyGunFreak> uh o.
[02:22] <Pirate_Hunter> Jordan_U: did that but it si not as precise and doesnt do the graphics d rndering settings
[02:22] <Pelo> sigh ...

[02:23] <Jordan_U> Azul, You can either use xscreensaver instead of gnome screensaver or edit some config files manually
[02:23] <Azul> Pelo: it doesn't allow me to change the settings
[02:23] <IndyGunFreak> then use calc and multiply that by 64\
[02:23] <kitche> taint: which ftpd server are you talking about or are you talking about ftpd
[02:23] <Pelo> taint, set it to passive mode that usualy does it for me
[02:23] <greg8800> Hello, we are a web hosting company that uses Debian Sarge right now and we are considering using the latest version of Ubuntu instead of Etch for our next generation of servers.  Can you provide me with a list of reasons to use Ubuntu instead of Etch?  Thanks in advance

[02:29] <takua108> in order to fix my "error 18" thing in grub, I have to "put a boot partition in the acceptable range," which is like the first 512MB of my HDD or whatever. So...how do I do this? I can do partition stuff in my Ubuntu boot-cd, but I need to know how, like, what I should call it, what format it should be, etc. (sorry for the length :|)
[02:29] <Pelo> muty,   do a search in the forum for mime type ,  there migth be a fix in there

[02:30] <Ausylo> beginner ubuntu help needed here please
[02:30] <takua108> Pelo: I did, but nobody answered :\
[02:30] <IndyGunFreak> !ask
[02:30] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:31] <IndyGunFreak> :)
[02:31] <Pelo> takua108,  did you try just flagging   the first partition as a boot partition ? that might be all you need
[02:31] <kitche> Pelo: takua108 where you installed grub was in a bad spot
[02:31] <Ausylo> just installed ubuntu 7.04 and it loads the gui on startup, then it goes to a black screen and stays there
[02:31] <Ausylo> restarted a few times as well, same outcome
[02:32] <ethanb> Reboot and go into "Safe Graphics Mode"
[02:32] <Pirate_Hunter> IndyGunFreak: what is the model for a standard default UK keyboard i.e. pc101/pc104 etc
[02:32] <Pelo> Ausylo,  what is yoru video card ?
[02:32] <ansimation> kitche: I have no inetd.conf. not that I can locate anyways. it isn't in /etc
[02:32] <takua108> um...my first partition is windows XP, so...what do I need to do? I've got a WinXP partition, a "swap" partition, and an ubuntu partition
[02:32] <ethanb> Ausylo: Reboot and go into "Safe Graphics Mode"
[02:32] <Ausylo> i have a go geforce 6100 series, its a laptop
[02:32] <kitche> ansimation: then it's probably not installed maybe you have a xinetd.conf instead
[02:32] <Stormx2> takua108: You shouldn't need a /boot partition for a default ubuntu install, and it won't matter where on the disk it is if you do reallllly want one
[02:32] <Ausylo> reboot and hit ESC, right?
[02:32] <Pelo> takua108,  can you uplaod a screen shot of gparted for that hdd ?
[02:32] <ethanb> Reboot when  Ubuntu pops up choose the second option
[02:32] <IndyGunFreak> Pirate_Hunter: sorry, that i have no idea on.. here in the US, I beliee its 105.
[02:33] <Ausylo> from disc? or hdd
[02:33] <ethanb> Disc

[02:33] <takua108> Pelo: um, I'm in Windows XP, can I upload a screenshot of the Microsoft Admin Tool thing that does the same thing?

[02:33] <Stormx2> kitche: grub is a 2-stage loader. Half of it is in your boot record (which isn't a partition) and half is in your /boot
[02:33] <Pirate_Hunter> IndyGunFreak: np im going with 104 but heck if tis wrong the keyboard setting is the easiest to change from system unless Xserver bypasses that lol
[02:34] <IndyGunFreak> Pirate_Hunter: i have a list. for UK, it has Dvorak, International(with dead keys), and Mac.. but it looks like all three are 104
[02:34] <kitche> Stormx2: correct but if the MBr part is in a spot that the bios doesn't like it will error 18 like it does for him
[02:34] <Pelo> muty, I would but I donT' know ,  try  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop , should restore all the default stuff
[02:34] <osxdude|laptop> My Device manager will not load! It comes up, then disappears and never comes back until next launch. Any help?
[02:34] <Stormx2> kitche: Ah, okay. So he's installing it in the boot record of a partition?
[02:34] <Pirate_Hunter> IndyGunFreak: yes made the right choice as a guess np where would I be without this IRC
[02:34] <Pelo> osxdude|laptop,  try launching it from the terminal with gksu
[02:34] <m0dY> how to make apt-get tell when ther is no internet connection when it is trying to update ?
[02:34] <muty> Pelo: I tried it already alas no help :S
[02:34] <imbecile> can someone tell me what is wrong? i followed directions exactly http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27539/

[02:35] <takua108> Pelo: http://upload.thetyphooncorp.com/HDD.png
[02:35] <kitche> Stormx2: with grub error 18 deals with the boot records and such being past what the bios can understand at least that's how I read it
[02:35] <Pelo> muty,  my best suggestion is to search the forum extensively for file association ,  mime , and stuff like that, ther emight be a fix in there
[02:35] <Pirate_Hunter> IndyGunFreak: you hit the nail on the head and you know something im actually enjoying ubuntu even with its weird ways

[02:36] <muty> Pelo: thx for the tip I will
[02:36] <fisherhome> can anybody help me figure out why my brand new hp notebook won't boot any version of ubuntu 7.04?
[02:36] <Stormx2> kitche: If the BIOS couldn't see the boot record, you wouldn't have grub to give you an error, surely?
[02:36] <osxdude|laptop> Pelo, what's the command name?
[02:36] <Pelo> takua108,  your ubuntu part is the  486 meg one on disk 0 ?
[02:37] <kitche> Stormx2: look up grub error 18 and you will see what I am talking about
[02:37] <takua108> Pelo: no, that's my swap partition. the 50.92GB one is my ubuntu
[02:37] <Pirate_Hunter> IndyGunFreak: which do I choose ImPS/2 or ExplorerPS/2 ?
[02:37] <Pelo> osxdude|laptop,  hwdb-gui
[02:37] <IndyGunFreak> Pirate_Hunter: its not so much its wierd, its just its notwindows.
[02:37] <Stormx2> kitche: Hokay.

[02:37] <Azul> when i change my user password, the root password changes along with it.. or at least when i do sudo.. i don't want that, what should i do?
[02:37] <Azul> i want a user that's not able to use sudo
[02:38] <Tenerifedave> anyone know the command to list your hard drives and where they are in a shell?
[02:38] <Pirate_Hunter> IndyGunFreak: PS2 connected mouse & keyboard
[02:38] <kitche> Azul: well have the user not be part of the admin group
[02:38] <ethanb> ali4728: What type of RAM and what brand?
[02:38] <osxdude|laptop> ali4728: It should.
[02:38] <Azul> or better, able to use sudo but with the root password
[02:38] <CppIsWeird> how do i get java to work in firefox?
[02:38] <IndyGunFreak> Pirate_Hunter: i'm guessing either of those will be OK, do you know what model it is?
[02:38] <Stormx2> kitche: Ah yeah, I see. To do with booting the kernel :)
[02:38] <Pelo> takua108,   I can't see anythying obviously wrong,  did you try reinstalling grub ?
[02:39] <kitche> Azul: well sudo uses the user's password
[02:39] <Pirate_Hunter> IndyGunFreak: this is funny it is made by genius, I would luv to say a few things to them

[02:39] <asdf> Is it possible to display images sizes of thumbnails on the desktop?
[02:40] <Pirate_Hunter> IndyGunFreak: im going with Explorer
[02:40] <IndyGunFreak> Pirate_Hunter: probably a safe bet
[02:40] <Pelo> CppIsWeird,  did you install the pluggin package ?
[02:40] <takua108> Pelo: I reinstalled ubuntu after uninstalling grub, which ended up the same way. The stuff on the Internet says that older BIOSes don't like boot partitions that aren't in the first "x" MB (512 I think)...so can I reinstall ubuntu "before" the WinXP partition somehow?
[02:40] <osxdude|laptop> Pelo, I mean device manager.
[02:40] <IndyGunFreak> Pirate_Hunter: mine always configures as generic
[02:40] <msl> Azul: you should be able to accomplish that by manually editing the    /etc/sudoers    file
[02:40] <Pirate_Hunter> IndyGunFreak: hrm I havent got that option stupid sis motherboard
[02:40] <Pelo> osxdude|laptop,  no clue then
[02:41] <mandra> Is it possible/safe to upgrade 5.10 to 7.04?
[02:41] <msl> I'm not sure if   rootpw  can be set per user or as a global option though
[02:41] <IndyGunFreak> ok.
[02:41] <IndyGunFreak> Pirate_Hunter: why are you reconfiguring x?
[02:41] <ethanb> mandra: possible yes. Though I always prefer a clean install... But that's just me
[02:42] <mandra> i have years of proggies on here. i will back up and try thanks!
[02:42] <Pelo> takua108, a simpler solution might be to install ubuntu on a seperate hdd,  I see you have several , that's how I am setup
[02:42] <Pirate_Hunter> IndyGunFreak:  could get higher resolution and 3d acceleration was messed up I still enjoy my mame games in my spare time
[02:42] <ethanb> mandra: Definetly ALWAYS backup. Lol. I'd die if all my stuff was obliterated.
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> i see
[02:42] <Pirate_Hunter> well thatd eosnt require 3d but heck might asw ell setup everythign properly
[02:43] <takua108> Pelo: ok, that's what I was thinking...but then how do I get the bootloader to work? Is it a BIOS setting to see which HDD boots first?
[02:43] <mandra> good idea i actually have a new one to add anyway, thanks again
[02:43] <ethanb> np

[02:44] <AzMoo> Hey, how do I change my locale? I changed LANG in /etc/environment to en_AU.iso88591 but after a reboot "locale" says LANG="en_AU.UTF-8" still.
[02:44] <Pelo> takua108,  in my case,  I installed xp on one hdd,  then installed ubu on the other,  I boot from the ubuntu hdd ( yes it is a bios setting to select the boot drive),    since xp was already installed when I installed ubuntu  grub detected it and it was added automaticaly
[02:44] <kitche> AzMoo: think it's sudo dpkg-reconfigure locale maybe
[02:45] <K350> I've Ubuntu Feisty fawn gnome-desktop. The icons on the desktop is quite large. How can I make them smaller? In Nautilus they're okay....
[02:45] <osxdude|laptop> Pelo: exactly how I did it.
[02:45] <takua108> Pelo: alright thanks...I'll get to work migrating all of the stuff off of my 2nd HDD onto my iPod, and then I'll install Ubuntu on that HDD. Thanks!

[02:49] <chohmann> snow: what type of video card/
[02:49] <gat-man> so can anyone help me please?
[02:49] <recoy^_> hello!
[02:49] <takua108> Pelo: Ah, so you mean, make a separate partition for my /home?
[02:49] <kitche> my partitioning is setup like BSD way lol home is part of /usr
[02:49] <Pelo> gat-man, what is your issue
[02:49] <mtbosworth> basically, my problem is that I have ssh install and after I run the server and try ssh username@ipaddress I always get "Connection refused on port 22"
[02:49] <gat-man> I just explained it
[02:50] <ethanb> gat-man: have you tried to log in as root and manually changing the permission?
[02:50] <Pelo> takua108,  yes ,  that way when / if you need to reinstall the OS  you won'T have to backup your data ,
[02:50] <gat-man> the problem is; I effed up sudo, now when I use it it gives me an error like "sudo has 770 permission on /var/use/sudo" or something fimilar
[02:50] <recoy^_> gat-man: check your om
[02:50] <recoy^_> pm
[02:50] <gat-man> ethanb, I cant use sudo.
[02:50] <gat-man> I cannot do anything from sudo
[02:50] <mtbosworth> I used nmap to look at my ip and it doesn't list port 22 as being open
[02:50] <kitche> mtbosworth: does the other place that your sshing into have sshd installed?
[02:50] <Pelo> gat-man,   go in  menu > system > admin > users  and change yoru users permissions
[02:50] <takua108> Pelo: Alright, thanks, sounds great. I'm formatting what's currently my Linux partition to NTFS, so I can basically have a Windows HDD and a Linux HDD (although the Windows HDD will have two partitions, but oh well)
[02:50] <mtbosworth> so how do  open port 22?
[02:50] <ethanb> gat-man: I mean loggin out and typing "root" in the login feild and your pass
[02:50] <mtbosworth> iptables?
[02:51] <gat-man> Pelo, but how will I login as root?
[02:51] <kitche> mtbosworth: start the sshd server
[02:51] <asdf> Is it possible to display images sizes of thumbnails on the desktop?
[02:51] <gat-man> ethanb, I didnt set a pass for root
[02:51] <mtbosworth> I'm trying to ssh into the same system to test it out
[02:51] <gat-man> it didnt ask me for it in the installation
[02:51] <kitche> mtbosworth: ok but see if sshd is running
[02:51] <ethanb> get-man: the pass should be the one you use now
[02:51] <gat-man> with the user?
[02:51] <CppIsWeird> I am having an audio problem, sound works when i freshly boot ubuntu, however shortly thereafter (it seems to be when more then one app tries to play something) the sound no longer functions. Any idea how to go about correcting this problem? I've gone through the "Sound not working" document on ubuntu, and everything seems in order, also to note that no where in there did it mention sound dieing.
[02:51] <Pelo> takua108,  since I barely use windows anymore I make the extra space on my windows hdd into an extension for my /home partitions,   basicaly I mouned the extra partition to /home/download

[02:59] <bluebanana> synaptic says i have one broken package
[02:59] <mattthebaker> i recently updated to 7.04 by cd installation, and after enabling the nvidia 3d driver X locks the machine on startup
[02:59] <bluebanana> how did it break? and how can i fix this?
[02:59] <lancerdragoon> bluebanana: Repair the package then.
[02:59] <mtbosworth> there is no script for sshd
[02:59] <lancerdragoon> bluebanana: Mark for reinstall, I think.
[02:59] <mtbosworth> you are right
[02:59] <ryaba> how i can i install the ffmpeg?
[02:59] <mtbosworth> I just ran sudo apt-get install ssh
[02:59] <bluebanana> i can't choose to reinstall. Only to 1) remove OR 2) complete removal
[02:59] <Giwrgos> preaction can i also ask u sth else?
[02:59] <mtbosworth> is it not included in that?
[03:00] <kitche> mtbosworth: then you don't have openssh-server installed
[03:00] <preaction> Giwrgos: ask the channel
[03:00] <Stormx2> bluebanana: Go to "custom filters" on the left, right click the package, remove.
[03:00] <Giwrgos> this might sound a bit silly.i use ubuntu 6.10 how can i upgrade to 7.04?:P
[03:00] <lancerdragoon> ryaba: Use Add/remove
[03:00] <Stormx2> bluebanana: Go with "remove"
[03:00] <bluebanana> ok. i'm removing it (smplayer). does that mean i won't have smplayer now?
[03:00] <Stormx2> !upgrade | Giwrgos
[03:00] <ubotu> Giwrgos: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes

[03:00] <Sam330> is Wubi supported here?
[03:01] <ryaba> then
[03:01] <bluebanana> wonder why smplayer is broken
[03:01] <AzMoo> Does anybody know why my apache error messages are in hex/
[03:01] <lancerdragoon> bluebanana: search for it in the search box
[03:01] <ryaba> for ffmpeg configuration to php
[03:01] <lancerdragoon> Wait, shit, I'm typing the wrong names.
[03:01] <sn0w> chohmann, does it take it in bytes?
[03:01] <mtbosworth> I just ran sudo apt-get install openssh-server

[03:18] <unique1> well I was hoping to have a system setup to where if I had a system without a cd/dvd drive I could install it
[03:18] <mtbosworth> I noticed this several times
[03:18] <need4speed> how do i mount automatically this /dev/sda5 /media/disk?
[03:18] <lockdown2> mtbosworth, looks related to samba
[03:19] <CppIsWeird> I am having an audio problem, sound works when i freshly boot ubuntu, however shortly thereafter (it seems to be when more then one app tries to play something) the sound no longer functions. Any idea how to go about correcting this problem? I've gone through the "Sound not working" document on ubuntu, and everything seems in order, also to note that no where in there did it mention sound dieing.
[03:19] <lockdown2> mtbosworth, anything in auth.log ?
[03:19] <lancerdragoon> unique1: maybe use the alternate install disk?
[03:19] <mtbosworth> samba seems to work for me
[03:19] <unique1> no cd/dvd drive will be on the computers I use
[03:19] <lashmoove> how do i enable global shortcuts for use with multimedia keys + amorak, i have amorak setup already, however the global shortcuts only work on somedays, and not today

[03:21] <mtbosworth> does that mean its trying to connect to the router?
[03:21] <kitche> lashmoove: it takes a few weeks at least to learn all of linux
[03:21] <ubotu> GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI
[03:21] <lockdown2> mtbosworth, specify a ListenAddress in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[03:22] <kitche> mtbosworth: it means it can't assign to that port how are you starting the sshd
[03:22] <lashmoove> kitche: i would say years, but he said days...
[03:22] <unagi> !gui
[03:22] <ubotu> The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively)
