[16:12] <emorris> ok, normally, you run an x server and an x client on the same machine (through startx or whatever), but how do you prevent the x client running on the local machine, so you just have a server running?
[16:13] <sayers> I just installed kubuntu-desktop, how do I set my grub bootsplash back to default .
[16:13] <benmj> erUSUL:Intel's site says there are. Interesting. Or perhaps they are free and pessimism just led me to assume that they would be closed source. I'll read the page again.

[16:14] <ubuntu95> have to log, bye all thansk again Thedjatclubrock
[16:14] <liranai> seems nobody have an answer
[16:14] <erUSUL> benmj: "gksudo displayconfig-gtk" use the "intel" driver
[16:14] <dr_willis> skeletor,  You may want to check out some of the 'how to mount filesystems' under linxu guides. and see if you can get some sort of error message - to point you in the right direction as to the problem
[16:15] <skeletor> ok ill give it ago
[16:15] <dr_willis> emorris,  - where do you want the x client to run at then?
[16:17] <holyguyver> Jack_Sparrow, So do to holydiver you never told me, do you think that just updating the mode to contain all of the different resolutions would work?
[16:18] <benmj> erUSUL
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> holyguyver I told you how I would do it.. you chose to try a different way.
[16:18] <mib_zhrefn3i> wow do i need help, i tried to install ubuntu with a usb card
[16:18] <paolo> have installed ubuntu 8 on PC2 and an old ubuntu 7.10 on PC1. PC2 has not network access and i have to dpkg build-essential on it. How can i get, with PC1 the right packages for PC2 (including the dependencies) so to dpkg them on PC2 ?
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !install
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !usb
[16:18] <erUSUL> benmj: ??
[16:19] <holyguyver> Jack_Sparrow, yeah your way scares me there is too much different about the systems, but I beilieve mode is just the different resolution options is it not?
[16:19] <erUSUL> !aptoncd | paolo
[16:19] <mib_zhrefn3i> ubottu, thank you
[16:19] <Jack_Sparrow> paolo I would run livecd of the os you want build essientials for then save /var/cache/apt/archives to usb.
[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> mib_zhrefn3i np
[16:20] <amenado> paolo-> no network access? how are the pcs connected? anything shows up on ifconfig ?
[16:20] <benmj> erUSUL: That didn't work. I did a ctrl-alt-backspace to let it take effect, and now there is no GUI. I assume I should change xorg.conf back to the way it was or something?
[16:20] <holyguyver> Jack_Sparrow, Am I right about mode?
[16:20] <erUSUL> benmj: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'
[16:20] <erUSUL> benmj: and lounch gui again
[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> holyguyver there is more to it.. do your way then mine.. easy enough to return to original
[16:21] <argento> does intel 945 support 3d acceleration?
[16:21] <holyguyver> JackWinter,  how do I return to original?
[16:22] <paolo> :(
[16:23] <frog_> where do i change the order of which modules load first when booting the kernel?
[16:23] <paolo> i'm sure there'd be a better solution.
[16:23] <holyguyver> Can anyone else help me? I want to know how I can in my xorg.config add options for more screen resolution sizes.
[16:24] <paolo> i only need build-essential packages for kubuntu 8.04
[16:24] <jrib> !fixres > holyguyver
[16:24] <paolo> the question is: which are them ?
[16:24] <jrib> paolo: build-essential is on the cd
[16:25] <paolo> jrib: on the MAIN cd ?
[16:25] <jrib> paolo: yes, on the Desktop cd
[16:25] <paolo> i mean: on the kubuntu installation cd ?
[16:25] <jrib> yes
[16:25] <paolo> jrib: GREAT!
[16:25] <paolo> thnks!
[16:25] <Mavs> hi, can I use the connector retasking ability of realtek hd audio at ubuntu?
[16:26] <jrib> paolo: when I say "yes" I mean, I'm 99% sure and you should go try, but have never done it myself.  If you have a GUI, it should prompt you to add the cd to your repository list.  If that doesn't happen, use apt-cdrom
[16:26] <liranai> hi,  i have two sound cards - usb  (turtle beach) and an onboard one. i've manage to make the usb sound card as the main one, but i cant use the onboard sound for connecting a microphone. is someone knows how to? thanks :)
[16:27] <erUSUL> benmj: fixed?
[16:28] <benmj> erUSUL: no, dealing with something strange. Havn't had a chance to run your command yet.
[16:28] <holyguyver> jrib, that page is a little too complicated for me
[16:29] <NotDamienGray> How can I make my PSP always mount to /media/PSP/?
[16:29] <holyguyver> jrib, could you just please tell me how I can safely add the other resolutson options to my xorg.config file?
[16:29] <Fribuntu> I have a 1/2 manually converted text file from windows-ANSI 1252 to UTF-8. When I use recode, it correctly converts the windows part, but screws up the manually converted part. Is there a way to tell recode to only touch those chars that have not been converted yet?
[16:29] <Theo__> Why does my ubuntu not boot past "Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald"? And how can I fix it?
[16:29] <jrib> holyguyver: take it one step at a time and ask the channel about something specific that isn't making sense (I have to leave)
[16:30] <unop> NotDamienGray, make an entry for the device in /etc/fstab
[16:30] <NotDamienGray> unop: Thanks, will do.
[16:30] <holyguyver> jrib, but this is the same problem I had 4 hours ago
[16:31] <holyguyver> Alright everyone xorg is not finding my video card driver it is Nvidia GeForce, someone please help.
[16:31] <jrib> holyguyver: that's a different problem.  Is it the wrong resolution or your X doesn't start?
[16:31] <benmj> erUSUL: I heard the noise you get with the login prompt, even though the screen was blank. Tried switching to a command line , no luck. It either locked up, or just lost the ability to display anything. Restarted, got a Grub promt rather than menu, managed to boot it with a super grub boot disk, and got the same problem.
[16:32] <holyguyver> jrib,  it is the wrong resolution & it is the same as the second problem I brought up 4 hours ago.
[16:32] <kovrt> bye
[16:32] <jrib> holyguyver: "xorg is not finding my video card driver" is different
[16:32] <erUSUL> benmj: wtf!! grub failed!?
[16:32] <jrib> holyguyver: what driver are you using?
[16:32] <holyguyver> I said Nvidia GeForce
[16:32] <paolo> well: now, if i type sudo apt-get install build-essential konsole says that it's named by another package etc.
[16:33] <paolo> and i can't install it
[16:33] <benmj> erUSUL: yeah. I have no idea why.
[16:33] <jrib> holyguyver: there's more than one driver
[16:33] <[NL]Tjibba> why cant i edit the blacklist
[16:33] <[NL]Tjibba> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[16:33] <erUSUL> benmj: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'
[16:33] <soundray> paolo: is there no way for you to network that machine temporarily?
[16:33] <clint__> what can i use to play .3gp files?
[16:33] <paolo> soundray:
[16:33] <jrib> holyguyver: are you using the restricted hardware drivers (nvidia) or nv?
[16:33] <paolo> no
[16:33] <benmj> erUSUL: i will as soon as I can.
[16:33] <erUSUL> benmj: for the xorg isuue ... grub may be fixed by "sudo update-grub" ?? but dunno for sure
[16:33] <holyguyver> Well do to your advise I have restarted my computer about 40 times so I no longer have that lspi list anymore
[16:33] <jokkaa> I have a little problem... i have the proper drivers for my graphic card installed, but even though simple flash games laggs when i try to play them.. any ideas what problems could be
[16:33] <MaarekStele> does anyone run MONO on their server?
[16:33] <jokkaa> ?
[16:34] <MaarekStele> I keep getting the Server Error in '/' Application error message
[16:34] <holyguyver> jrib, It claims I am using Restricted yet it can only find NV
[16:34] <soundray> paolo: then you should try using apt offline. Hold on, I'll dig out a URL
[16:34] <clint__> wow linux never ceases to amaze me
[16:34] <Holydiver> back
[16:34] <unop> clint__, any media player should play them as long as you have the codecs to play them.
[16:34] <Holydiver> dr_willis, it did nothing :/
[16:34] <clint__> well movie player worked right off the bat
[16:34] <paolo> soundray: yes, that's what i was searching for
[16:34] <clint__> it was a cell phone video
[16:34] <soundray> paolo: http://batmat.net/apt-offline/
[16:34] <jrib> Holydiver: you need to pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[16:34] <benmj> erUSUL: It looks like the grub issue either resolved itself or got fixed by the super grub boot disk.
[16:34] <Holydiver> here is my exact problem :
[16:34] <Holydiver> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=363958
[16:34] <Holydiver> it's the same problem

[16:35] <paolo> soundray: let's have a look, thnks
[16:35] <clint__> negative on the audio tho =\
[16:35] <clint__> hmm
[16:35] <Holydiver> jrib, just look at the link, i don't think xorg is the problem
[16:35] <Holydiver> brb
[16:36] <benmj> erUSUL: it is now booting apearently, but I only hear the bootup noise and don't see anything. When I crtl-alt-f1, the screen not only stays blank, but the backlight even turns off.
[16:36] <clint__> whats the off topic room?
[16:36] <holyguyver> Holydiver, we confused a second person :p
[16:36] <holyguyver> Holydiver, xorg is my problem :p
[16:36] <[NL]Tjibba> why cant i edit the blacklist
[16:36] <[NL]Tjibba> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[16:36] <[NL]Tjibba> permission denied
[16:37] <benmj> erUSUL: That has also happened in the past when I have booted from a live cd. It doesn't happen when I use safe graphics mode.
[16:37] <soundray> [NL]Tjibba: you need admin privileges to edit it. Use sudo to get those
[16:37] <jrib> holyguyver: I know, but for people to help you, they need to know the driver you are using
[16:37] <marcelo> My mouse does not work any more. How can i start a terminal window from the keyboard?
[16:37] <[NL]Tjibba> how do i use sude
[16:37] <benmj> erUSUL: from the live cd, I mean.
[16:37] <jrib> !sudo > [NL]Tjibba
[16:37] <[NL]Tjibba> how do i use sudo
[16:37] <soundray> !sudo | [NL]Tjibba
[16:37] <holyguyver> jrib, & I gave everyone in here my exact driver 3 hours ago, ask alk or Jack or any of the others who have now left.
[16:38] <soundray> [NL]Tjibba: also, you should probably create a new file in that directory, specifically for the driver you want to blacklist
[16:38] <soundray> !blacklist | [NL]Tjibba
[16:38] <paolo> soundray: unfortunately the document is old and poor. but, i insist: i only have to pick the build essential .deb packages needed for kubuntu 8.04
[16:38] <paolo> i'm sure that there's a simpler way for doing that.
[16:38] <daedric> anyone has any experience on connecting two networks via openvpn ? Samba works... but although i've configure for browse list sync, i can't see the machines from the workgroup on the "other" network ... any ideias ?
[16:38] <paolo> then  i only have to launch dpkg
[16:38] <soundray> holyguyver: I wasn't here 3 hours ago. If you can't be bothered to provide information, don't ask for help.
[16:38] <g0deater> marcelo: CTRL-ALT-F1
[16:38] <holyguyver> jrib, what is that lslp cammand?
[16:39] <jrib> holyguyver: this information doesn't help the people trying to help you now....... anyway I really have to go now.  You want 'lspci'
[16:39] <holyguyver> soundray, , I am trying to reget it for you
[16:39] <paolo> firsto of all: where can i get through http the buiild-essential package for kubuntu 8.04 ?
[16:39] <soundray> paolo: no, there isn't. Apt is designed for networked computers. Working around the issue is complex.
[16:40] <SzalonyMjut> Hi all
[16:40] <paolo> soundray: i insist again, it would be complex if you have to install several packages. in my case i have only to install few
[16:40] <zoed> !hi | SzalonMjut
[16:40] <g0deater> marcelo: or ALT-F2 -> xterm
[16:40] <SzalonyMjut> I see in ubuntu are Add/remove and apt-get
[16:40] <soundray> paolo: that package is empty. It consists only of dependencies. It wouldn't help if you installed only build-essential.
[16:40] <SzalonyMjut> whats is the different between both them?
[16:40] <holyguyver> Alright boys, my driver is a 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51 [GeForce 6150 LE] (rev a2) & I need to get my machine to recognize it, it's drivers are already installed.
[16:40] <benmj> erUSUL: Are you still there?
[16:40] <soundray> paolo: anyway, downloading individual packages is through packages.ubuntu.com
[16:41] <paolo> soundray: in fact i only need the list of dependecies
[16:41] <soundray> paolo: 'apt-cache depends build-essential'
[16:41] <holyguyver> soundray, here it is 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51 [GeForce 6150 LE] (rev a2)
[16:41] <Karthex> Hello I was considering trying ubuntu again but this time on my newest PC as a dual boot with XP and I just have a few questions. first will it work with a PCChips P13G+ 1.0, ATI Rage All-in-wonder pro, Nvidia Geforce 7800GS, Intergrated sound, Iomega Zip drive, generic card reader, 3.4ghz P4, 2gb DDR-RAM, And 2 printers over the network on windows 98SE
[16:41] <soundray> holyguyver: how did you install the drivers?
[16:41] <zoed> SzalonyMjut: apt-get is a command line utility and Add/Remove is a graphical easy-to-use interface for installing software. But not all software is available through Add/Remove
[16:41] <holyguyver> soundray, EnvyNG
[16:42] <benzss> can anyone here recommend a wireless card which will definitely work under ubuntu?
[16:42] <paolo> soundray: it didn't give me anything
[16:42] <SzalonyMjut> zoed: why not?
[16:42] <techqbert> What would you guys recommend for iscsi?  open-iscsi or iscsitarget (kernel)?
[16:42] <erUSUL> benmj: now i'm :| seems that your card does not work with intel drivers... weird... have you tried using i810 instead of intel?
[16:42] <marcelo> g0deater: thanks
[16:42] <techqbert> sorry iscsitarget isn't kernel :o
[16:42] <soundray> paolo: no output, no errro?
[16:42] <soundray> *error
[16:42] <paolo> the output is <build-essential>
[16:42] <benmj> I'll try that.
[16:43] <zoed> SzalonyMjut: every application in Add/Remove has an image. But, for instance, the build-essential package doesn't have a picture.
[16:43] <Slart> Karthex: I don't know about all that stuff.. but I'll tell you about the stuff I know.. the 7800GS should work using nvidia's binary driver.. printers over a network usually works without any problems, integrated sound usually works although some chipsets need some configs changed.. generic card readers usually works too..
[16:43] <MoonUnit> benzss, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[16:43] <zoed> SzalonyMjut: But for almost everything you can find a suitable application in Add/Remove
[16:43] <soundray> holyguyver: what is your present system state?
[16:43] <Slart> Karthex: but the easiest way to check this is to run the live cd and see...
[16:43] <holyguyver> soundray, healthy?
[16:44] <Slart> Karthex: although you won't be able to check the nvidia driver that way.. since it requires a reboot to work, afaik
[16:44] <frog_> where is it listed in ubuntu what modules are loaded at boot?

[16:44] <SzalonyMjut> zoed: so in graphical isn't pidgin-2.5.0, well i must install that by konsole?
[16:44] <holyguyver> soundray, my system is currently near sighted
[16:44] <Karthex> thats good to know, but it is important that the ATI all in wonder works, it is the boot video card
[16:44] <paolo> soundray: checked. yes
[16:44] <timmytiptoe_> Is there a command in the terminal to boot up from another hard disk?
[16:44] <erUSUL> frog_: most modules are loaded when the hardware they drive it is discovered during boot
[16:44] <zoed> SzalonyMjut: Pidgin is installed by default! Applications->Internet->Pidgin Internet Messenger
[16:45] <soundray> paolo: did it return to a $ prompt?

[16:45] <paolo> soundray: yes
[16:45] <holyguyver> soundray, please clearify what you mean?
[16:45] <Karthex> Slart: well this card hasn't had a new driver in years so I don't think anything recent applies to them
[16:45] <soundray> holyguyver: look, I'm trying to help you here. Can you try and provide an intelligible problem description?
[16:46] <Slart> Karthex: I'm talking about linux drivers.. not windows drivers
[16:46] <pinnerup> I have a problem with a .ttf font that I've installed on HH. It looks fine everywhere else, but in gnome-term it's unevenly spaced and sometimes glyphs even overlap.
[16:46] <zoed> SzalonyMjut: I see your point. No, you can't install pidgin 1.5 by apt-get, since apt-get as well as Add/Remove use the same repository i.e. download the same software.
[16:46] <timmytiptoe_> Is there a command in the terminal to boot up from another hard disk?
[16:46] <Slart> timmytiptoe_: not that I know
[16:46] <erUSUL> timmytiptoe_: no
[16:46] <zoed> !info pidgin
[16:46] <holyguyver> soundray, every time I update Linux & Linux headers my system loses it's resolution & it ability to have higher resolutions.
[16:46] <Karthex> Slart: I just didn't think ati released anything on something so old
[16:46] <timmytiptoe_> I am trying to get it running from an external harddisk
[16:47] <Karthex> anyway thats not the point, where can I find out if it works
[16:47] <frog_> erUSUL : okay but where is that done? i need to change it so one loads before another, right now they are loading in the wrong order
[16:47] <timmytiptoe_> I am on a Macbook Pro
[16:47] <benmj> erUSUL: tried restarting in recovery mode to edit xorg.conf and got grub problems again. weird. I'm going to use the super grub boot disk again to try and fix it. Just a sec.
[16:47] <Slart> Karthex: it might have been included in one of their driver packages.. but I wouldn't know since I don't have an ATI card
[16:47] <Aquahallic> in ubuntu I can do a ctrl+alt+f6 and get to another terminal... is it possible to run another Xsession there?
[16:47] <SzalonyMjut> zoed: I see, there are bit different between gentoo and ubuntu ;)
[16:47] <soundray> holyguyver: that's a known problem with envyng. Just go through the graphics setup again when you've updated the kernel.
[16:47] <erUSUL> frog_: which modules? maybe they are listed in /etc/modules?
[16:47] <frog_> erUSUL: i only see 2 modules in /etc/modules and i know a heck of a lot more than that is being loaded
[16:48] <MoonUnit> timmytiptoe_, if your motherboard supports it you can choose which drive to boot from, grub will need to be installed on that drive
[16:48] <soundray> paolo: does 'apt-cache depends ubuntu-desktop' give you a list of dependencies?
[16:48] <frog_> i am confused why only 2 moduls show up there
[16:48] <Mavs> hi, can I use the connector retasking ability of realtek hd audio at ubuntu?
[16:48] <holyguyver> soundray, I have done that 8 times this morning, it did not help.
[16:48] <smm289> ooops. nevermind.  The archive creation of the shared documents folder on the vista machine just failed.  Am I allowed to have the ubuntu file server look at the vista shared documents folder and create an archive?
[16:48] <zoed> SzalonyMjut:  yeah, I see gentoo has the newer version http://gentoo-portage.com/net-im/pidgin.
[16:48] <smm289> I get a bunch of errors along the lines of:
[16:49] <frog_> erUSUL: lsmod lists a lot more modules than are reported to load at boot in /etc/modules
[16:49] <erUSUL> frog_: well as i said earlier modules are loaded in the order the hardware is discovered... so when the kernel probes pci devices it it finds the sound card it loads sound modules later it finds a eth card the module is loaded and so on
[16:49] <paolo> soundray: yes
[16:49] <zoed> SzalonyMjut: of course, you can also grab the newest source code and compile that, but the question is if it integrates well with ubuntu
[16:49] <smm289> tar: <directory name>: Cannot Stat: No such file or directory
[16:49] <benmj> erUSUL: Ok, I fixed grub. Booting in recovery mode to try and get at a command line.
[16:49] <smm289> but I can go to those directories and see there contents from the file server
[16:50] <erUSUL> frog_: so there is no easy way to change order unless the modules are loaded manually (or by scripts) hence why i asked itf they are in /etc/modules
[16:50] <benmj> erUSUL: Done. I now have a root prompt. Now what?
[16:50] <SzalonyMjut> zoed: true, but i must have the newer ver., there are something like overlays in ubuntu?
[16:50] <erUSUL> benmj: try i810 driver instead intel?
[16:50] <zoed> SzalonyMjut: If you want newest software, you can upgrade to Ubuntu Intepid (8.10) - but it is still the unstable dev version.
[16:50] <frog_> erUSUL: i just installed uvcvideo driver for my webcam which works fine... but where is the module being started at? i want it to load after my video capture cards so it grabs /dev/video3 instead of /dev/video2
[16:50] <holyguyver> So soundray I have been doing it manually in xorg.congfig but I need to know if mode is where I need to list the avalable resolutions?
[16:51] <Karthex> ok checked online appears that the ATI drivers may work on this card, next I was wondering if I could choose where programs are installed. Not a critical detail but I like to have that control
[16:51] <soundray> holyguyver: no
[16:51] <erUSUL> frog_: why instead of playing this games you do not writte a udev rule that just creates a link /dev/webcam ??
[16:51] <zoed> SzalonyMjut: As far as I know, you can't add the intrepid sources and just install one intrepid package without doing a complete upgrade, but I'm not sure.
[16:51] <erUSUL> !udev | frog_
[16:51] <holyguyver> soundray, then what is it?
[16:51] <smm289> funny thing.  The documents archive i just tried to create and failed, has all the directorys listed but there are no files inside those directories
[16:52] <rmlrmlrml> anyone able to help me configure my wireless adaptor or tell me where to go to get help?
[16:52] <paolo> soundray: probably i've solved. i'm picking the build essential package directly from the cd
[16:52] <frog_> erUSUL: i was also trying to do a device=/dev/video3 in the modprobe.d/options file
[16:52] <erUSUL> frog_: http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#example-usbhdd
[16:52] <SzalonyMjut> zoed: mhh at getdeb.net are the newer pidgin, can I install that from there?
[16:52] <erUSUL> frog_: that's the correct solution to you problem
[16:52] <zoed> SzalonyMjut: You could try downloading the intrepid .deb from http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&keywords=pidgin and install it in hardy (no idea if that works)
[16:53] <frog_> erUSUL: it doesnt seem to accept any kind of parm for that though. how do i do this udev thing? that sounds similar
[16:53] <soundray> holyguyver: the standard way to configure resolutions in Ubuntu is 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk'. I don't know if this will work under an NVidia driver installed by envyng, but it's the first thing I would try.
[16:53] <zoed> SzalonyMjut: the site I just named is the ubuntu repository, it would probably be better to download the .deb from ubuntu (which does have ubuntu-specific changes, but for intrepid) rather than a distor-neutral version.
[16:54] <holyguyver> soundray, that will not work in my case as it doesn't give me any options other then 800x600 which is not correct.
[16:54] <zoed> SzalonyMjut: Thats what I would do (if I needed the newer version)
[16:54] <erUSUL> frog: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5698771 see
[16:54] <erUSUL>
[16:54] <soundray> holyguyver: if it doesn't, there is an nvidia-specific xorg.conf tool, but I don't know what it's called -- nvidia-???
[16:54] <smm289> trying to create an archive from a shared vista folder.  The archive contains the sub directories but those directories contain no files.  The archive manager fails with errors stating that "no such file or directory exists" yet I can browse,open,create, and delete files on that shared folder.  Any ideas
[16:54] <soundray> holyguyver: maybe enter nvidia- and hit Tab twice to see the possible completions
[16:54] <erUSUL> frog_: see IntuitiveNipple comment
[16:55] <Slart> smm289: what's the command line you used? or you used some gui?
[16:55] <theclaw> the misc-fixed bitmap-font seems to be installed, however I can't select it in gnome terminal; I did enable bitmap-fonts with 'dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config', and I can also select helvetica, for example; xlsfonts also lists misc-fixed-*
[16:55] <holyguyver> soundray,  , I do know what the tool is called but it is malfuntioning on my system.
[16:55] <theclaw> any idea why?
[16:55] <bcardarella> I seem to have an issue with Firefox... it will get locked up on certain sites, the app will dim (get dark) then will come back to life. It is really annoying. Any ideas?
[16:55] <patrick> hey
[16:55] <soundray> holyguyver: okay, back to displayconfig-gtk. Does it let you choose a display?
[16:55] <Slart> bcardarella: could it be the flash plugin acting up?
[16:55] <patrick> I have a tablet PC i lost the pen will any tablet PC pen work for it?????
[16:56] <holyguyver> soundray, no it does nnot let me choose anything
[16:56] <zoed> smm289: try make an archive of only the content of the share. (ie. dont right-click the share, but the content folder you want to put in an archive)
[16:56] <bcardarella> Slart: possibly. That's what I thought
[16:56] <holyguyver> soundray, I must restart x now though
[16:56] <erUSUL> frog_: SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="054c", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0154", NAME="video5" <<< that's the rule you have to find the correct sysfs vendor for you webcam and change at the end NAME="video5" for SYMLINK+="my_disk"
[16:56] <holyguyver> brb
[16:56] <bcardarella> Slart: I'll try killing my flash plugin and reinstall
[16:56] <Slart> Guest86580: depends on the tablet pc.. with some anything pointy and plastic will work
[16:56] <nikiniki> hello
[16:56] <smm289> ok I lied, I cannot create a folder or file in the shared vista folder unless I open the folder as administrator
[16:56] <erUSUL> frog_: perdon SYMLINK+="my_webcam" or whatever you fancy
[16:57] <frog_> erUSUL: okay i am looking
[16:57] <paolo> i don't know how to do that yet :( . how can i tell apt to work only with cd and not with network?
[16:57] <benmj> erUSUL: do you mind repeating the command? I got the gui going again by restoring xorg.conf, so I hope not to need to edit that file by hand.
[16:57] <Slart> bcardarella: flash is a source of many problems in linux..try installing flashblock or something and try that site again
[16:57] <erUSUL> frog_: then your webcam will allways have the same name no matter what
[16:57] <smm289> I did that, the share is the complete user folder on vista. I right clicked the docuements sub folder to create the archive
[16:57] <benmj> erUSUL: The command for switching drivers, if I was unclear.
[16:57] <zoed> smm289: try copying the folder to the desktop first and then creating the archive from the ubuntu desktop.
[16:57] <erUSUL> benmj: gksudo displayconfig-gtk
[16:57] <zoed> smm289: that should work.
[16:58] <Guest86580> Slart how about a Fujitsu Stylistic 5032
[16:58] <benmj> erUSUL: thanks, I'll try it.
[16:58] <Slart> Guest86580: shesh.. you think I know all tablet pc models out there? try using anything pointy and see if the computer reacts.. don't scratch the screen though
[16:59] <rmlrmlrml> can anybody help me with my wireless adaptor?
[16:59] <Guest86580> oh ok
[16:59] <Guest86580> well is there a way where i can find out for sure?
[16:59] <frog_> erUSUL: so.. /etc/modules is only for modules you want to load at boot that the kernel hasnt already autodetected?
[16:59] <Slart> Guest86580: ask whoever made the computer?
[16:59] <Guest86580> because you see I'm trying to get it to run linux
[16:59] <smm289> ya that will probably do it, but I really dont want to take that step.  What I am trying to do is setup an archive back-up system were the file server goes to the specified share directorys and creates an archive on a schedule.  I prob should be using a sync program but I figured I would see if it works first by using a simple archive creation
[16:59] <Guest86580> but there are no tablet drives
[17:00] <erUSUL> frog_: yep some hardware (isa based) can not be autodetected and some other is just buggy
[17:00] <Slart> Guest86580: try just running the live cd.. see if you can move the mouse pointer around..
[17:00] <smm289> Im trying to create the archive right now, but this time I have open the folder with administrative rights before creating the archive.  The shared folder has a little padlock icon on it
[17:00] <Guest86580> yea m installing hardy on it rght now
[17:00] <Jampiter> Hi, I have a screen resolution problem
[17:00] <C0p3rn1c> did any1 in here compile mysql workbench before?
[17:00] <SzalonyMjut> I download .deb ( unstable package pidgin 2.5), but how I can install that by console?
[17:01] <frog_> erUSUL: this article was just what i needed! thanks man
[17:01] <Guest86580> but yesturday i follow the steps and it didnt work i dont know if i need the tablet pen or what
[17:01] <Jampiter> I have a (very) fresh installation of Ubuntu HArdy on an RM supercompact
[17:01] <Slart> SzalonyMjut: sudo dpkg -i <name of the deb file>
[17:01] <Jampiter> But the screen is stretched vertically and goes off the bottom of the screen
[17:01] <holyguyver> Please HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is worse then ever now :'(
[17:01] <holyguyver> I am in a 600 by 400 screen
[17:02] <Slart> holyguyver: go sit in a corner and think about what you just did..
[17:02] <hwilde> !fixres | holyguyver
[17:02] <Jampiter> If I try changing the screen res in the system settings it goes very flickery and I have to reboot
[17:02] <Jampiter> any help?
[17:02] <holyguyver> hwilde, I need hands on help
[17:02] <benmj> erUSUL: It seems to be working.
[17:02] <SzalonyMjut> Slart: but after that ubuntu should can update that package if in repository will be newer ver. ?
[17:02] <Jampiter> I'm assuming Ubottu just gave the answer, hey? :P
[17:02] <benmj> erUSUL: just a sec while I confirm.
[17:02] <holyguyver> Jampiter, ubottu did not give the anwer to me
[17:03] <Slart> SzalonyMjut: I'm not entirely sure about what it will do.. I would guess it would update if there was a newer version in the repos.. but I'm not sure
[17:03] <keithclark> What is the best way to share folders/files with windows machines?
[17:03] <Jampiter> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto holyguyver
[17:03] <Slart> !samba | keithclark
[17:03] <hwilde> holyguyver, follow the instructions from ubottu
[17:03] <holyguyver> Jampiter, that page is not the answer
[17:03] <smm289> what would be a good archive program to use.  I want the ubuntu filer server to look at specific shared folders on a schedule and create a locally stored sync.  The folders are on vista/XP and linux machines
[17:03] <sketchysecurity> i think samba is busted in 8.04
[17:03] <Slart> keithclark: I don't know if I'd call it "the best".. but it works
[17:03] <hwilde> !fixres > holyguyver
[17:03] <erUSUL> holyguyver: gksudo displayconfig-gtk
[17:03] <smm289> Samaba seems to be working ok for me, 8.04
[17:03] <Evill> Samba works fine for me in 8.04.
[17:03] <keithclark> slart, anyway will be a good start.
[17:03] <Slart> sketchysecurity: not more than by design
[17:04] <xTheGoat121x> Has anyone in here messed around with Sean Egan's plugin for Adium styles in Pidgin?
[17:04] <holyguyver> hwilde, Jampiter I already fallowed those & my screen went from 800X600 to 600X400
[17:04] <zoed> smm289: I guess this is a bug.
[17:04] <Jampiter> Eurgh
[17:04] <sketchysecurity> maybe its just the x86_64 version then
[17:04] <Jampiter> Can't help you there, sorry
[17:04] <Jampiter> Any help for me anyone?
[17:04] <benmj> erUSUL: Thanks! It appears to be working correctly with the new drivers.
[17:04] <smm289> I just used the Nautilus right click share options. I had to add one line to the .conf file saying that I could share files/folders that I did not own
[17:04] <Evill> I'm using Samba x86_64 just fine.
[17:04] <Slart> Jampiter: ok.. what have you tried? editing xorg.conf? can you pastebin your config file?
[17:04] <erUSUL> benmj: ok; glad to help
[17:05] <Evill> Didn't notice any change from 7.10.
[17:05] <smm289> is your workgroup named something other than the defualt WORKGROUP
[17:05] <zoed> smm289: no, I mean the inability of creating an archive in a share
[17:05] <sketchysecurity> maybe im just shitty at writing config files then
[17:05] <holyguyver> Will someone please just tell me how I can manually change my screen resolution in xorg.config?
[17:05] <keithclark> Is there a GUI for Samba?
[17:05] <sketchysecurity> swat, but its meh
[17:05] <smm289> !gsamba
[17:05] <Jampiter> I've just tried the tool in the menu
[17:05] <Slart> keithclark: there is a web-gui..
[17:05] <erUSUL> keithclark: swat is a web based gui to configure samba
[17:05] <Slart> keithclark: swat I think it's called
[17:05] <smm289> there are two guis that I have played with
[17:05] <erUSUL> !swat
[17:05] <Jampiter> I can't paste, unfortunaltely, as the affected computer is not on the internet
[17:06] <smm289> I found them in the Add/Remove
[17:06] <zoed> smm289: I just managed to create an archive of a folder in a share.
[17:06] <keithclark> thanks all.  I'll try it.
[17:06] <sketchysecurity> actually there should be a decent webgui with the ebox platform too
[17:06] <smm289> were did you save the archive to, on the local system or in the shared folder
[17:06] <Slart> Jampiter: please put my name first on the line when you talk to me.. makes it easier for me to follow the conversation
[17:06] <Jampiter> Slart: Oh, sorry :p
[17:06] <hwilde> holyguyver, try hitting ctrl+alt+backspace a few times and log back in  - see if your resolution fixes itself
[17:07] <ulefr01> hi
[17:07] <Jampiter> Slart: Should I just try the things in Ubottu's ink?
[17:07] <holyguyver> hwilde, I have done that 20 times thismorning
[17:07] <Slart> Jampiter: no worries.. so you tried the System, preferences, screen resolution thingy?
[17:07] <zoed> smm289: I saved it on the share
[17:07] <ulefr01> 2
[17:07] <ulefr01> hi
[17:07] <kaur_> hi
[17:07] <holyguyver> hwilde, I have been in here with this problem since 5 this mourning & now it is 9.
[17:07] <smm289> Zoed: can you do the same thing but save the archive to the local system that is creating the share, like to the desktop or some place
[17:07] <zoed> smm289: But it also works if I save it on my gharddisk
[17:07] <ulefr01> q
[17:08] <smm289> gharddisk ?
[17:08] <Jampiter> Slart: Yeah
[17:08] <zoed> amm289: harddisk
[17:08] <jokkaa> how do i upgrade flash?
[17:08] <smm289> ahh
[17:08] <zoed> amm289: typo
[17:08] <ulefr01> q
[17:08] <zoed> !ask | ulefr01
[17:08] <smm289> never no, linux seems to have some funky naming issues
[17:09] <Slart> Jampiter: hmm.. it's hard to help you when you can put stuff at pastebin... but type !res in here and ubottu will send you a link or two..
[17:09] <zoed> smm289: my share is only ascii chars and the folder also
[17:09] <Slart> Jampiter: sorry.. meant "can't put things at pastebin"
[17:09] <Jampiter> Slart: Ok, thanks :)
[17:09] <smm289> what was the share located on linux/windows?
[17:09] <Jampiter> !res
[17:09] <zoed> smm289: no, on a samba
[17:10] <smm289>  do you have any windows systems running in your network
[17:10] <kaur_> jokkaa, do you mean BIOS flash or the flash (adobe) package?
[17:10] <Karthex> does anyone know if ubuntu works with a PCChips P13G+ 1.0, I nned to know because last time I installed on an unsupported motherboard, a jetway J-ZXAN the kernel fried itself
[17:10] <Slart> Jampiter: usually ubuntu gets it's screen settings from the screen directly (newer monitors have some kind of plug & play functionality) but this doesn't work all the time.. then you have to edit a file and input those values yourself.. it's not very hard to do but it's far from intuitive
[17:10] <jokkaa> kaudio, flash abdobe.. yoused in interhet
[17:10] <smm289> i dont know what ya mean, on a samba.  The folder I am trying to archive is located on a vista machine, but I am getting there through an smb:\\ address
[17:10]  * Slart needs to go back to school and relearn its it's etc..
[17:10] <kaur_> jokkaa, this is easy
[17:11] <kaur_> jokkaa, wait a sec
[17:11] <Jampiter> Slart: how do I get the values?
[17:11] <Jampiter> I don't actually know my computer's model
[17:11] <Slart> Jampiter: usually by going to the manufacturers site
[17:11] <jokkaa> kaur_, ok thx :)
[17:11] <Slart> Jampiter: I have a monitor from HP.. I got the data from HP's site
[17:11] <armornick> hey everyone!
[17:11] <X-Seti> not even a thankyou, well ill remember him again
[17:11] <smm289> what do the little padlocks on the folders im trying to archive mean?
[17:11] <Jampiter> Slart: I tried RMs site but it's pretty useless
[17:12] <Slart> Jampiter: but the values are mostly the same for most monitors of the same size etc
[17:12] <kaudio> jokkaa ?///
[17:12] <skeletor> Can someone help me with my external hd, its formatting in fat32 (vfat) but when I mount it its stuck in Read-Only
[17:12] <magnetron> smm289, "write protected"
[17:12] <skeletor> *formatted
[17:12] <kaur_> jokkaa, http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/productinfo/instructions/
[17:12] <Slart> Jampiter: ie.. if you know what resolution the monitor should support you can look at similar monitors and see what values they can use
[17:12] <Jampiter> Slart: The max res it likes is 1024x768 on other distros
[17:12] <keithclark> ok, this swat thing is a bit difficult to get running I see.
[17:12] <armornick> hey, can anyone tell me the biggest difference between fedora and ubuntu
[17:12] <armornick> I can't decide
[17:13] <Jampiter> It just doesn't like UBuntu for some reason
[17:13] <kaur_> jokkaa, see where the tar.gz is
[17:13] <droopsta915> i need to create a new partition, how can i do this?
[17:13] <smm289> i think i have the issues, some of the subfolders within the share are telling me I do not have permission to view them.  maybe that is the root of my problem
[17:13] <Slart> Jampiter: well.. 1024x768 shoulnd't be difficult to find out the values for.. I think there are even some webpages out there that will calculate them for you
[17:14] <Jampiter> Ok, thanks :)
[17:14] <hwilde> !pastebinit > holyguyver
[17:14] <Slart> Jampiter: you're welcome
[17:14] <hwilde> why doesn't ubottu know pastebinit
[17:14] <Slart> Jampiter: come back if you can't make sense of those links
[17:14] <skeletor> Can someone help me with my external hd, its formated in fat32 (vfat) but when I mount it its stuck in Read-Only even in root its Read-Only, ive tried changing it to rw but have had no luck, anyone got any ideas?
[17:14] <Slart> !info pastebinit
[17:15] <Jampiter> Slart: Ok :)
[17:15] <Slart> hwilde: you can add a factoid for pastebinit if you want.. I think !factoid will give you some help with that
[17:15] <droopsta915> !pastebin it
[17:15] <droopsta915> how bout pastebin
[17:16] <Slart> !paste
[17:16] <Slart> but you can't just say !paste it
[17:16] <Slart> !paste it
[17:16] <zoe1> smm289: you still there? my internet connection has some proplems
[17:16] <zoe1> !pastebin
[17:16] <Slart> there isn't a factoid called "paste it"
[17:16] <jokkaa> kaur_, yeah workin on it=)
[17:16] <j0hnnyX> Can someone refer me to where I can ask questions about the Gimmie Menu?
[17:16] <smm289> zoe1:yep still here
[17:16] <droopsta915> you say !pastebin
[17:16] <kaur_> jokkaa, let me know if u are having trouble with it
[17:17] <smm289> looking at the permissions on the vista machine, I think that has something to do with my issues
[17:17] <jokkaa> kaur_, alright. thx
[17:17] <droopsta915> i need to create a new partition, how can i do this?
[17:17] <kaur_> droopsta915, with gparted

[17:18] <droopsta915> kaur:wheres that at?
[17:18] <kaur_> droopsta915, but in order to partition your system disk you need to boot from cd
[17:18] <kaur_> droopsta915, sudo apt-get install gparted
[17:18] <zoe1> smm289: I'm not sure what the problem is
[17:18] <droopsta915> kaur_:thanx
[17:18] <smm289> ok, so its possible, im going to start small and eliminate some issues on the vista machine.  thanks for the help
[17:18] <zoe1> smm289: Are you trying to make an archive of the whole share or only of a folder contained in the share?
[17:19] <kaur_> droopsta915, np
[17:19] <zoe1> smm289: because if I try to create an archive of the whole share and save it on disk, I get the same error message like you.
[17:19] <j0hnnyX> Basically I just want to know how to change the start menu icon when you use Gimmie as a menu
[17:19] <smm289> the share has multiple layers of subfolders, the share is my user folder on vista, and im trying to create an archive up the documents folder, which contains multiple subfolders

[17:29] <andresj> hey is there a way to install Ubuntu on, say computer 1; and boot from network in computer 2? But not only for installation; for everyday use.
[17:29] <l3d> ok I still need help with a gdm issue i cant make any changes to it every time i do and close they dont stay it reverts to the old default settings
[17:29] <Guest86580> hey
[17:29] <Ab3L> in ~/.local/share/Trash there are two folders, one of them contains a info file where there are the original position of the file. do you know if nautilus is able to use that info to restore files or not? and if yes, how?
[17:29] <kipp1> guys I am not able to mount my windows fat32 filesystems as read/write in hardy I have the following options set in fstab: rw, user, exec, nodev The file systems mount alright but they mount as read only
[17:29] <Slart> andresj: yes, your next question will be much much harder.. (how?) =)
[17:29] <Alim> Ирмирмшнмшн
[17:29] <zoe1> Ab3L: I just found following bug:
[17:29] <Slart> !ru | Alim
[17:29] <zoe1> !bug #14412
[17:30] <kaur_> jokkaa, above that there is version
[17:30] <znik> windows vista option missing from grub after partially upgrading gusty!!
[17:30] <BigTimeR> If /quit and /connect are swimming in the ocean, and /connect gets eaten by a shark, who's left?
[17:30] <rrittenhouse> How can I ssh into another box on startup? It needs to be ran as a normal user and not root.
[17:30] <Slart> znik: you can probably just make a new one.. it's not that hard
[17:30] <Alim> Идите
[17:30] <Alim> Домои
[17:30] <FloodBot1> Alim: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:30] <znik> Slart how?
[17:30] <amenado> znik-> did you save a copy of your menu.lst?
[17:30] <kaur_> jokkaa,  below, sry
[17:30] <gaintsura> !ru | Alim
[17:30] <andresj> Slart: lol. I was almost sure it was possible; of course my question meant how :)
[17:30] <znik> it is also missing at the time of login!
[17:30] <znik> nope
[17:30] <Ab3L> zoe1: ok. thank you. so for the moment it is not possible. thx for the information.
[17:30] <znik> amenado nopes
[17:31] <Alim> Ни куя ни панимаю
[17:31] <Slart> znik: are you using regular ubuntu? if so, run this in a terminal, "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[17:31] <zoe1> Ab3L: stop: it says fix released..
[17:31] <j0hnnyX> Actually heres what I wanted to do. If you look take a look at the left side of the screen where the arrow is. I want to change that icon.
[17:31] <j0hnnyX> http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/9431/screenshotmk9.png
[17:31] <Alim> Вы на каком язке?
[17:31] <znik> i am on it!
[17:31] <amenado> znik-> usually an upgrade just appends,  look at your menu.lst again, maybe its moved in the bottom
[17:31] <bazhang> Alim, /join #ubuntu-ru
[17:31] <andresj> if it helps, I have the LiveCD running in computer 2; connected to the network and everything.
[17:31] <zoe1> Ab3L: but only in intrepid. So no, you'll have that functionality in the next ubuntu version.
[17:31] <znik> amenado it isnt thr! i looked for it!
[17:31] <jokkaa> kaur_,  theres no verision more than that it says application/x-shockwave-flash 	Shockwave Flash 	swf 	Yes
[17:31] <hwilde> j0hnnyX, that is just a gnome/debian theme change
[17:32] <j0hnnyX> Tried that hwilde
[17:32] <Slart> andresj: well.. you'll have to setup computer2 to boot from the network.. then you'll have to make a server for all this on computer1, I think it's called tftp
[17:32] <j0hnnyX> Nothing I do changes the orange foot
[17:32] <amenado> znik-> now hopefully you learned, keep backup of files thats impotant.. :P
[17:32] <j0hnnyX> I've gone to Appearance
[17:32] <j0hnnyX> and switched to every theme
[17:32] <rrittenhouse> i basically need to ssh (and port forward) to my local box on startup. Any ideas?
[17:32] <j0hnnyX> and nothing changes that
[17:32] <andresj> Slart, ok...
[17:32] <zoe1> Ab3L: you'll be able to do that with the next ubuntu version!
[17:32] <kipp1>  guys I am not able to mount my windows fat32 filesystems as read/write in hardy I have the following options set in fstab: rw, user, exec, nodev The file systems mount alright but they mount as read only
[17:32] <j0hnnyX> I need to find where that orange foot is located
[17:33] <Alim> Вы на каком язке пишите?
[17:33] <Alim> Че мне делать?
[17:33] <bazhang> Alim, english here
[17:33] <Slart> andresj: that will make the computer boot at least.. next step I supposed you'd have to mount some network drives on computer2 to boot from.. I've never done the last part on linux so I can't help you there.. I'm guessing nfs will do what you want
[17:33] <zoe1> !gk
[17:33] <zoe1> !gr
[17:33] <amenado> does ubutto have a tip for  backing up important files before upgrade or update?
[17:33] <bazhang> !backup
[17:33] <Slart> znik: do you have the gedit window open with that grub conf file?
[17:33] <j0hnnyX> Should be a simple icon change yes I would have thought
[17:33] <kaur_> jokkaa,  close browsers and sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[17:34] <znik> amenado here is my grub :  http://pastebin.com/m2b54c3ee
[17:34] <j0hnnyX> But none of the "start-here" even show that orange foot
[17:34] <Alim> Че мне делать блин вы на каком язке пишите?
[17:34] <andresj> Slart; mm... oh i see i see... OH!! it makes sense... ok ok I kinda got the idea
[17:34] <amenado> bazhang-> ahh now i recall..clone..
[17:34] <zoe1> !gr | Alim
[17:34] <zoe1> !rs | alim
[17:34] <gaintsura> zoe1: I think thats russian
[17:34] <bazhang> its russian zoe1
[17:34] <jimmacdonald> ok this is intresting I just did sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and still had packages held back.
[17:34] <gaintsura> thought so
[17:34] <znik> Slart here is the grub file http://pastebin.com/m2b54c3ee
[17:34] <keithclark> hmm, my XP machine shows up on my Ubuntu machine but not vice versa
[17:34] <Slart> znik: ok.. I'll take a look
[17:34] <Alim> Ни куя ни панимаю
[17:35] <gaintsura> keithclark: you have to setup samba on ubuntu
[17:35] <hwilde> !english | alim
[17:35] <jokkaa> kaur_, done
[17:35] <keithclark> gaintsura, I am trying here.
[17:35] <candive> keithclark, Englander???
[17:35] <jokkaa> it sais its allready at leatest verision kaur_
[17:35] <wabash> Hey, all. How do I add a pre-existing user to a pre-existing group? The user does not show up in the administration dialog.
[17:36] <jimmacdonald> anyone got any idea why that is happening?
[17:36] <kaur_> jokkaa,  ok, then i can't help
[17:36] <amenado> znik-> here is my trusty reference http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm
[17:36] <gaintsura> keithclark: also, for easier samba config (after you install samba), check out the webmin package
[17:36] <jokkaa> kaur_, thx anyway:)
[17:36] <j0hnnyX> should I take anymore screenshots? Will that explain further what the problem is?
[17:36] <amenado> wabash->  edit  /etc/group
[17:37] <amenado> wabash-> with sudo priviledge off course
[17:37] <keithclark> gaintsura, that is swat?
[17:37] <wabash> amenado: Ok, I thought about editing it. But why sudo priv off?
[17:37] <gaintsura> keithclark: swat is the GUI for samba, I've never played with it, I've always used webmin
[17:37] <smm289> zoed: if you use nautilus, u click on network, workgroup, the name of the windows pc, are the shared folders displayed.  Mine are not displayed, I have to type the name of the share in the address bar to view the share contents
[17:37] <kaur_> jokkaa,  Flash has always been a bit buggy for me in linux
[17:37] <keithclark> Yeah, I could not get swat to work at all.
[17:38] <amenado> wabash ? off course.. not of
[17:38] <keithclark> gaintsura, webmin?
[17:38] <wabash> amenado: I see, you made a typo.
[17:38] <wabash> amenado: Ok, is there an admin tool to do it though?
[17:38] <amenado> wabash-> yes, vim or any editor really
[17:39] <amenado> wabash-> useradd perhaps? i cant remember
[17:39] <wabash> amenado: I meant is there an ubuntu system-config-users tool...
[17:39] <gaintsura> keithclark: yes webmin is a web based configuration manager for your entire system, I'm pretty sure you can apt-get install webmin and apt-get install samba samba-common
[17:39] <keithclark> gaintsura, thanks.
[17:39] <smm289> if you use nautilus, u click on network, workgroup, the name of the windows pc, are the shared folders displayed.  Mine are not displayed, I have to type the name of the share in the address bar to view the share contents
[17:40] <amenado> wabash-> i do the old way, none of the wrappers if possible, get to the meat with using vim to edit /etc/group
[17:40] <gaintsura> keithclark: np, if you have any problems let me know, I'll more than likely be able to help
[17:40] <arvind_khadri> !webmin | gaintsura , keithclark
[17:40] <j0hnnyX> BTW the orange foot icon is for the Programs menu in Gimmie. This is what I'd like to change as I modified the Programs Menu to be used as a main menu.
[17:41] <j0hnnyX> The only thing left is the orange foot icon
[17:41] <gaintsura> arvind_khadri: funny, I haven't had any problems
[17:41] <wabash> amenado: Ok, thanks.
[17:41] <rrittenhouse> How can I have my ubuntu box ssh into a remote ssh server (to forward ports) ON startup?
[17:41] <gaintsura> been using it for awhile now
[17:41] <GamingX> Whats a good cd burning software for ubuntu?
[17:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !k3b
[17:41] <j0hnnyX> And no there isn't any Gimmie rooms on this server to ask that question on Jack Sparrow so thats why I'm asking here.
[17:42] <askand> If you want to make a program you have to decide what toolkit you want to use, is it an easy way to program something with both toolkits? Some kind of conversiontool?
[17:42] <amenado> wabash-> way too many gnome-*** to remember...does not make the job administrating any easier..
[17:42] <askand> Talking about gtk and qt
[17:42] <Jack_Sparrow> j0hnnyX OT is OT.. doesnt matter if there is or isnt a gimme room for your question
[17:42] <GamingX> Thanks Jack, I knew it was something like that. I looked up k3d but it seems that it was k3b.
[17:42] <smm289> if you use nautilus, u click on network, workgroup, the name of the windows pc, are the shared folders displayed.  Mine are not displayed, I have to type the name of the share in the address bar to view the share contents

[17:43] <javaBoy> Hi
[17:43] <notwist> when i try to mount my USB drive with NTFS i get "ntfs_attr_pread: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error" on ubuntu server, any idea why? i can communicate with it (run badblocks)
[17:43] <[onetwo]> im trying to use rsync to create a mirror of the Ubuntu repos, but i only need Hardy on i386, i have a script that works, but it creates a full copy of everything, how do i exclude everything but hardy on i386?
[17:43] <bekks> notwist: you are using badblocks on a ntfs drive? be sure to have backups :)
[17:43] <amenado> notwist-> am just guessing, did the file system closed properly during xp shutdown?
[17:45] <smm289> im transfering 40GB of data from a usb drive on a vista machine to an ubunto file server using IDE drives.  The LAN connection is 1000mb, im seeing about 20MB/s transfer speed, is that a little slow or is that the max that the USB drive can spit stuff out at?

[17:47] <jdnewmil> why is the bash set builtin spewing function definitions after showing the environment variables in hardy? any way to stop that?

[17:47] <BonD-> i need some help, about ubuntu...
[17:48] <Jack_Sparrow> BonD- ask a complete question all on one line
[17:48] <smm289> ahhh ha,  I do have a better one but I choose to put the drive in the smaller enclosure, 2.5" sata drive
[17:48] <bekks> smm289: smallers not always better ;)
[17:48] <smm289> maybe I should put it in the better (bigger) enclosure and see what I get
[17:48] <smm289> bekks:  thanks

[17:57] <kaur_> chip82, but cable?
[17:57] <chip82> kaur i can't connect by cable.. it's too far

[17:58] <kaur_> chip82, ?
[17:58] <chip82> yes kaur, i have the net card
[17:58] <jdnewmil> BonD- : actually, ubuntu does have a root account, but logins to it are disabled... you have to login to a regular account and then sudo things root needs to do
[17:58] <hwilde> BonD-, you are not making any sense
[17:58] <chip82> i have disabilited the cable net card

[18:09] <kaur_> droopsta915, You can install win after lin but it is more complicated
[18:09] <arvind_khadri> keithclark: hmm ya... one of my friend was facing a problem with that... would you mind launching a bug against that
[18:09] <maek> arvind_khadri: still getting the same error.
[18:09] <droopsta915> kaur_: I have linux installed already, what should i do delete all partitions and start over
[18:09] <arvind_khadri> !bug > keithclark
[18:09] <keithclark> arvind_khadri, sure can.
[18:10] <marshal_> ny female here????
[18:10] <ompaul> !offtopic | Marshal
[18:10] <ompaul> !offtopic | marshal_
[18:10] <kaur_> droopsta915, Are you sure you want to do so? It'd probably be easier to install win now and heal linux
[18:10] <ompaul> Marshal, misstabbed
[18:10] <arvind_khadri> maek: ask in the channel ... i dont have much idea :)
[18:10] <jdnewmil> droopst915 : swap hard disks :)
[18:10] <maek> arvind_khadri: thanks
[18:10] <keithclark> arvind_khadri, so, I'm back to square one with not being able to setup Samba properly.
[18:11] <mel01> hey everyone.  I'm having problems with a third party deb package installed with gdebi that was supposed to give 6th gen iPod support to gtkpod.
[18:11] <droopsta915> kaur_: i have two hard drives, should installing win on the second drive still be an issue?
[18:11] <Marshal> ompaul, Np
[18:11] <ompaul> !samba | keithclark do this - and take your time - it works
[18:11] <arvind_khadri> keithclark: read the docs of wiki.ubuntu?
[18:11] <kaur_> droopsta915, AFAIK, yes. But you should consult someone with more knowledge on the issue
[18:12] <jdnewmil> mel01: seems like you should talk to the developers of that deb
[18:12] <kaur_> droopsta915, win overrides grub AFAIK
[18:12] <arvind_khadri> droopsta915: no it wont be an issue...you will just have to reinstall grub
[18:12] <mel01> Well, I just want to yank it at this point.  Conflicts seem to arise when I try to revert, though
[18:12] <keithclark> ompaul, Yes, but swat did not work.
[18:12] <mel01> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libgpod-common_0.6.0-3ubuntu3_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/20-libgpod-sysinfo-extended.fdi', which is also in package libgpod2
[18:13] <holyguyver> Maybe I can conqueror the problem the other way, does anyone now how I can go back to an older Linux & Linux header?
[18:13] <droopsta915> arvid_khadri; if i dont have grub working how will i get into linux drive?
[18:13] <kaur_> droopsta915, live cd
[18:13] <arvind_khadri> holyguyver: boot into the older kernle :)
[18:13] <arvind_khadri> droopsta915: live cd
[18:13] <ompaul> keithclark, http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/SWAT.html
[18:14] <octoberdan> When I try to startx, the display becomes all crazy, blury and distorted even before gnome loads. I am on a laptop, this happens only to an external monitor plugged into the VGA out port. dmesg shows no errors, failures, or warnings.
[18:14] <droopsta915> thanx
[18:14] <holyguyver> arvind_khadri, & will doing that fix my screen resolution?
[18:14] <octoberdan> The monitor is an LCD, SynMaster 730B
[18:14] <jdnewmil> mel01 : should pull it out.. I think dkpg -f might be useful, but am not sure
[18:14] <octoberdan> links2 is getting old.
[18:14] <keithclark> ompaul, wow, too much for me!  That is way too difficult.
[18:14] <arvind_khadri> holyguyver: use a working xorg.conf
[18:15] <holyguyver> arvind_khadri, & where do I find one of those?
[18:15] <keithclark> ompaul, maybe another distro comes with samba installed and has a built in gui.
[18:15] <ompaul> keithclark, don't assume you know nothing, start reading slowly
[18:15] <arvind_khadri> holyguyver: /etc/X11/
[18:15] <ompaul> keithclark, you have done stuff already and really what you want to do is point samba at the partition
[18:15] <octoberdan> Using GDM to start also fails
[18:16] <jokkaa> is it possible to lock the screen from terminal
[18:16] <octoberdan> (Same problem)
[18:16] <jokkaa> ?
[18:16] <ompaul> keithclark, i.e. the answer to your questions lie in your config files
[18:16] <holyguyver> arvind_khadri, & how do I get it to use one of those?
[18:16] <octoberdan> How should I proceed?
[18:16] <Dante123> pc specs:  Pentium 3 running at 850 mhz with 512 RAM......can it run Ubuntu or stick with another lighter version (xubuntu, fluxubuntu, or would gOS be okay)?
[18:16] <keithclark> ompaul, no problem.  thanks for the help.  I appreciate it.
[18:17] <csa3d> if I have created a scripts directory, is there a way that I can call any of the scripts in the directory without having to specify a path?
[18:17] <arvind_khadri> holyguyver: had you changed xorg.conf?
[18:17] <Leefmc> Question: Anyone here familiar with VMware Workstation Beta? I can't find the tar download link that all the tutorials use.. i only have the rpm download links..
[18:17] <Peter232> qualcuno ha fantasie su cugina?
[18:17] <holyguyver> yes, a million times
[18:17] <Peter232> qualcuno ha fantasie su cugina?
[18:17] <octoberdan> At the very least could someone please tell me how to check what video card I have?
[18:17] <Dante123> Leefmc any reason you won't try Virtualbox instead?
[18:17] <ompaul> !en | Peter232
[18:17] <jdnewmil> octoberdan : lspci?
[18:18] <Dante123> Peter232 que dices?
[18:18] <Leefmc> Dante123: Because it can't do 3D Accelerated Graphics. Or so i read.
[18:18] <arvind_khadri> holyguyver: then there will be lots of them lying over there...choose a recent one and copy paste it to your xorg.conf then restart X
[18:18] <Leefmc> Dante123: Damn useless to me then. :p
[18:18] <Leefmc> Dante123: But if i want to run notepad i'll be sure to use it ;)
[18:18] <A_Curious_Mind> Hello
[18:18] <droopsta915> i want to install windows on my second drive, can i unplugg the first drive and install?
[18:18] <Dante123> Leefmc beta has 3d in VMWare or is it still "experimental"
[18:18] <octoberdan> jdnewmil: Thanks
[18:18] <holyguyver> arNo actually I should choose an old one as I have about 4 bad ones from just this morning
[18:18] <octoberdan> Any ideas of what could be going wrong?
[18:18] <holyguyver> arvind_khadri, actually I should choose an old one as I have about 4 bad ones from just this morning
[18:18] <Leefmc> Dante123: Yes it does, thats why im attempting to use it.. :p
[18:19] <Dante123> Leefmc except for 3d gaming....I think Virtualbox is fine.
[18:19] <jdnewmil> droopsta915: I don't think that will leave a functioning windows when you replug the first drive
[18:19] <arvind_khadri> holyguyver: choose a working one...
[18:19] <Leefmc> Dante123: Yea.. heh
[18:19] <octoberdan> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 440 Go] (rev a3)
[18:20] <Leefmc> Dante123: For me, i have zero use for any windows application that doesn't deal in 3D. Linux provides everything but some of my CG software (modo, xsi, zbrush, etc).
[18:20] <droopsta915> i want tot partition some of the ubuntu drive but i have three partitions and dont want to delete any of them
[18:20] <holyguyver> arvind_khadri, but once I choose it how do I make it sollect it?
[18:20] <jdnewmil> droopsta915 : but if you can configure the blank drive as your first drive permanently, then you can probably run with linux on your second drive easily
[18:20] <Leefmc> Dante123: Why are we debating my needs for software :p
[18:20] <django0909> Hi all, if anyone could take their time to look at the following post and help me out, I'd be very grateful! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=917796
[18:20] <Leefmc> Dante123: I dont suppose you actually know anything about my question do you?
[18:20] <Dante123> Apparently, they are working on 3d gaming for Vbox.  But obviously not at the stage of VMWare at this point then.  Good luck with VM.  See if they have their own irc channel you may get more help there.  Personally, the vbox channel is very helpful....so I would imagine there is a good VMWare community too.
[18:21] <octoberdan> django0909: You could try #ubuntuforums
[18:21] <django0909> octoberdan: will do
[18:21] <droopsta915> so make master into the slave
[18:21] <arvind_khadri> holyguyver: open the file using gedit and the copy paste it to xorg.conf then save the file and close it, then restart X
[18:21] <mel01> jdnewmil, dpkg -r did the trick!  Was able to install the older package afterwards.  Thanks!
[18:21] <Dante123> Leefmc cut the snarkiness.  I was suggesting vbox in case you had not considered it.  Obviously you have....so good luck with VM.
[18:21] <octoberdan> I accidentally smashed my LCD screen on my laptop, could this be related?
[18:21] <livingdaylight__> i've plugged a DVI 2 HDMI to monitor; now Desktop is too big for tv monitor and fonts are a bit blurry
[18:22] <BonD-> hwilde still here?
[18:22] <Leefmc> Dante123: Sorry, this happens now and then heh. My bad :). (I mostly see this in programming channels though)
[18:22] <GamingX> Does anyone have CNR client installed on Ubuntu 8.04? I seem to have problems installing it.
[18:22] <Leefmc> Dante123: You get someone who asks a question, then they have to justify it for 40 minutes before they get an answer. Obviously its not the case here, so i apologize.
[18:23] <Dante123> Leefmc try #vmware
[18:23] <Leefmc> Dante123: Thanks, and again, my bad. :)
[18:23] <Dante123> No problem. Leefmc.
[18:23] <dr_willis> GamingX,  you really dont hear much about CNR being used under ubuntu. last i looked most of the stuff it offered was allready in the repos anyway
[18:23] <Dante123> Leefmc, good luck.
[18:23] <Leefmc> Dante123: On a more ubuntu/linux note though, RPMs are sort of like deb's correct?
[18:23] <Slart> !rpm
[18:24] <Dante123> Yes, for Fedora/Red hat etc.
[18:24] <Leefmc> Ah, so rpm wont even work in ubuntu?
[18:24] <jdnewmil> octoberdan : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[18:24] <Leefmc> That explains my trouble with RPM :o
[18:24] <holyguyver> arvind_khadri, Alright I just restarted x & like always it changed nothing
[18:24] <Dante123> Leefmc- no they won't.  Do you already have VMware downloaded?
[18:24] <csa3d> If I want to run a scripts in a custom scripts directory, from some other random directory, can't i do so by creating some sort of symbolic link?
[18:24] <csa3d> it's been a while.. kinda foggy
[18:24] <Dante123> Leefmc or did you only see it offered as rpm?
[18:25] <octoberdan> jdnewmil: Tried that. No luck
[18:25] <csyntax> Does anyone use the plugin call perl-support?
[18:25] <csyntax> for gvim
[18:25] <dr_willis> csa3d,  proberly can. :) or just put the dirs in your default PATH
[18:25] <spunk> csa3d; ln -s <source> <target>
[18:25] <arvind_khadri> holyguyver: use a file which is very old...the last perfectly working one... the older files would have dates attached to them after .conf
[18:25] <darren_> Hi can any body help please my system played sound yesterday and now it wont play anythin musuc or system sounds
[18:25] <csyntax> ?
[18:25] <Leefmc> Dante123: Yea, but only the rpm. I only see rpm and .bundle, but there must be more because every ubuntu tutorial (eg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Workstation) mention a tar file. I'm sure the vmware folks will know
[18:25] <holyguyver> arvind_khadri, that is what I used
[18:25] <csa3d> oh right.. the PATH
[18:25] <octoberdan> csyntax: The solution to whatever problem you're having is to use emacs ;-)
[18:26] <dr_willis> Ive downloaded the tar.gz's from vmware sites befor.
[18:26] <arvind_khadri> holyguyver: well why isnt your X working btw?
[18:26] <GamingX> dr_willis: ah, well. I was looking to install Skype, but couldn't install it using apt-get so I remembered CNR offering Ubuntu services so I thought I might try it out, except its got problems.
[18:26] <csyntax> i don't like emac
[18:26] <csyntax> it work on my fedora 9 linux
[18:26] <Dante123> Leefmc yes, try them.  I did try VMware a couple of times- but for my needs and under ubuntu I found vbox easier to work with.
[18:26] <holyguyver> arvind_khadri, because I updated Linux & Linux headers.
[18:26] <octoberdan> :-(, well emacs doesn't like you!!
[18:26] <csyntax> lol whatever
[18:26] <karim> hi
[18:26] <Leefmc> dr_willis: Where at? http://www.vmware.com/communities/content/beta/ws65/download.html seems to not have a tar file.
[18:26] <darren_> hi can any one help plaese i have lost system sounds and all sounds when i try to play a sound it says invalid argument
[18:26] <octoberdan> csyntax: What problem are you having? It's bad to ask to ask
[18:26] <arvind_khadri> holyguyver: then use an older kernel... it would be there in your menu.lst
[18:26] <Leefmc> Dante123: Is .bundle a usable format?
[18:27] <holyguyver> arvind_khadri, that is what I am going to try next
[18:27] <dr_willis> GamingX,  there are some repos with skype. Ive installed it without needing to use CNR
[18:27] <karim> can ubiquity be used to install Ubuntu from a running ubuntu ?
[18:27] <Dante123> Leefmc that isn't to say that it cannot be setup easily under Ubuntu....try http://www.howtoforge.com/vmware-server-on-ubuntu8.04
[18:27] <csyntax> i try to install perl-support.zip on my gvin in ubuntu.
[18:27] <csa3d> dr_willis: remind me where the . file is for path editing?
[18:27] <csyntax> or i am miss some package
[18:27] <dr_willis> csa3d,  .bashrc or .bash_profile to set your PATH
[18:27] <ortsvorsteher> !ask
[18:28] <Raphi974> Hi everyone
[18:28] <Leefmc> Dante123: Yea, i just gatta find the download first ;). Even that site you mentioned is talking about the tar file i believe, because the install.pl file is the same as al;l ubuntu tutorials, which all mention a tar file haha.
[18:28] <ortsvorsteher> !licq
[18:28] <ortsvorsteher> how can i patch my licq.
[18:28] <node357> !info licq
[18:29] <l3d>  when i do this sudo echo "#" > /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom    in the term i get permission denied
[18:29] <Dante123> Actually, Leefmc this post in the middle looks like it tells you how to get it:  http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/30/install-vmware-server-106-on-ubuntu-804-hardy/
[18:29] <Slart> l3d: be careful when using echo with sudo
[18:29] <Raphi974> Here's my problem : 30-45min ago, my wlan connexion was disconnected. And then, i just get "No scan result". Can someone help me ?
[18:29] <Slart> l3d: it doesn't do what you want
[18:29] <dr_willis> Leefmc,  ive Never seen a .bundle befor.. No idwa what those are. I last used vmware a few mo ago. I tend to use Virtualbox now a days
[18:29] <Leefmc> Dante123: Thats server
[18:29] <Slart> it only runs the echo command as root.. the redirection ">" is still run as your regular user, iirc
[18:29] <Leefmc> Dante123: I'm going for workstation, since if i buy vmware, thats what i'll use
[18:30] <Raphi974> Here's my problem : 30-45min ago, my wlan connexion was disconnected. And then, i just get "No scan result". Can someone help me ?
[18:30] <ortsvorsteher> is there anyone who has an howto for patching licq
[18:30] <dido> hello.i have Ubuntu 8.04 .is it possible to stay with this version for a long time?
[18:30] <Slart> l3d: hmm.. I think I need to try this again.. "be careful when using redirection, >, with sudo. It won't work the way you probably want it to"
[18:31] <l3d> well my gdm wont take changes i make with gui  logon window  settings  after i close the window and reopen it nothing has change its like I am locked out and thats all I be told to do
[18:31] <ortsvorsteher> dido: yes, minimum 3 years
[18:31] <Dante123> Leefmc sorry....this looks more like what you want:  http://blog.zmang.com/installing-vmware-workstation-65-beta-on-ubuntu-hardy-heron-804-faqs/
[18:31] <karim> can I install ubuntu without burning a CD ?
[18:31] <Slart> l3d: you can do this, "sudo -i", then write the echo line without sudo, then type "exit" to get back
[18:31] <ortsvorsteher> karim: a installation over network is also possible
[18:32] <Slart> !install | karim
[18:32] <Raphi974> yes Karim, with USB Pendrive
[18:32] <Leefmc> Dante123: Heh, thats one of many tuts i have open, but they use the tar i am missing. "tar zxf VMware-workstation-e.x.p-84113.i386.tar.gz"
[18:32] <ortsvorsteher> !automate
[18:32] <dido> ortsvorsteher: thank you so much.
[18:32] <slept> hi, could someone explain me how to give parameters to modprobe ? (I am running debian, but in this case i guess it doesn't matter ) The parameters I would like to give are : parm:           media:8139too: Bits 4+9: force full duplex, bit 5: 100Mbps (array of int)  and parm:           full_duplex:8139too: Force full duplex for board(s) (1) (array of int)
[18:32] <arvind_khadri> !netboot | karim
[18:32] <amenado> karim-> do you have an existing unix or linux now? use debootstrap to install ubuntu
[18:32] <ortsvorsteher> dido: you are welcome
[18:33] <Leefmc> Dante123: The vmware arent saying a tar is available. Seems those tuts are just a bit old. I'm being told to convert the rpm to deb via alien.
[18:33] <karim> Raphi974: actually I have a ubuntu hardy, and here I am under a wubi install of hardy on windows. I want to reinstall my hardy on the harddrive
[18:33] <dr_willis> Leefmc,  i would look in to those other ioddly named packages befor using the rpms
[18:33] <karim> I know how to do it with debootstrap
[18:33] <dr_willis> Leefmc,  its possible they are just renames tar.gzs
[18:34] <bijoy> do i need to install USB drives to make them work..?
[18:34] <karim> but I feel it's more complete by doing the normal install process
[18:34] <Dante123> Leefmc I am having trouble finding what you should dl too.
[18:34] <Raphi974> karim, wanna keep files or reinstall ?
[18:34] <Slart> bijoy: they should pop up when inserted.. if they are formatted and such of course
[18:34] <l3d> all I get is  permission denied
[18:34] <bijoy> thnks
[18:35] <arvind_khadri> l3d: use sudo
[18:35] <l3d> I did
[18:35] <dfgas> why does my RAID0 show up as 2 separate drives in linux? how do i fix this so i get access to my partition that is on it?
[18:35] <Slart> dfgas: fakeraid?
[18:35] <Slart> !fakeraid
[18:36] <l3d> Slart : is this what you wanted me to do sudo -i echo "#" > /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom
[18:36] <tyler_> will google chrome be available for linux in the near future?
[18:36] <Slart> l3d: no.. first "sudo -i", that will give you a root prompt
[18:36] <karim> Raphi974: I will keep my home, and I backed up / to reuse some config files after. In fact I feel ubiquity is a bit nasty. I don't feel it very safe
[18:36] <New_user_> Can someone help me?
[18:37] <Slart> l3d: then you can write the echo stuff.. without sudo
[18:37] <rockyrock> can i find Sun download manager in the repos??
[18:37] <karim> Raphi974: I mean when you are not doing a full reinstall
[18:37] <Slart> l3d: then at last you type exit to get back to the normal shell
[18:37] <Leefmc> Dante123: Im thinking they updated and changed the download page
[18:37] <Manther> I just installed Ubuntu but I don't know how to get my sound running....
[18:37] <Manther> I have the driver I'd normally use for Windows
[18:37] <jdnewmil> !ask > New_user
[18:37] <Slart> l3d: there is another way.. using a command called "tee" but I can't remember the syntax of it
[18:37] <karim> Raphi974: I was also thinkinh installing ubiquity on my running distriubiton on running it from there, but I am not sure it does search for the cd
[18:38] <Raphi974> karim, do u speak french ?
[18:38] <dfgas> Slart, raid card  :D
[18:38] <l3d>  this is what i  get bash: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom: Permission denied
[18:38] <csa3d> dr_willis: thanks for your help, that did the trick!
[18:38] <dfgas> Slart, my onboard raid is the same
[18:38] <Raphi974> cuz : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/lvpm
[18:38] <Manther> !ask
[18:39] <Manther> ok
[18:39] <Raphi974> My problem : 45min ago, no more scan results with iwlist....
[18:39] <Raphi974> Any idea ?
[18:39] <karim> Raphi974: oui oui
[18:39] <Slart> dfgas: onboard raid usually takes some work.. if it's doable at all.. and people will call you nasty names for using it
[18:39] <karim> Raphi974: on peut aller sur le chat français
[18:39] <Raphi974> karim bah va sur le lien ke g mis
[18:39] <Raphi974> j'y suis
[18:40] <Slart> dfgas: if it's a real raid card you probably need to make sure the kernel module is enabled.. I think many raid cards are supported out of the box
[18:40] <karim> Raphi974: disons que j'ai pas vraiment besoin de migrer
[18:40] <Manther> !ask I just installed Ubuntu on my box which was previously running Windows XP, I have the driver for sound card etc. how do I install it?
[18:40] <Slart> !fr
[18:41] <armornick> hey guys, i need some advice
[18:41] <dr_willis> Manther,  where did these drivers come from? Most of them re allady included in ubuntu. No installing needed
[18:41] <l3d> Slart is there a way to find out who has permission to the gdm.conf-custom
[18:41] <armornick> I can't decide between ubuntu and fedora, could you guys help me out?
[18:41] <Slart> l3d: ls -l might tell you
[18:41] <Manther> They came with my PC from Acer
[18:41] <ciapsadm> .join #ubuntu-ro
[18:42] <Slart> armornick: use fedora one month, then ubuntu one month.. come back and tell us how it went =)
[18:42] <Manther> dr_willis : I'll try the sound again, the drivers came with my PC from Acer
[18:42] <armornick> Also, I heard somewhere that ubuntu was for kids, but I presume this isn't true? ;)
[18:43] <Raphi974> no it's not true...
[18:43] <whileimhere> Hi out there! I am looking for information about how to boot Ubuntu without the GDM or any desktop. Ideally I would like to boot into the Frame Buffer or into a plain X Session. Is there a good set of instructions out there on this subject?
[18:43] <Raphi974> it's just a good distrib ^^
[18:43] <dido> hello .i have two partition one for Ubuntu and the second for windows i wanna destroy windows.
[18:44] <l3d>  hmmmm  Its not there  how would I make it
[18:44] <Slart> armornick: ubuntu is designed to "just work".. not much compiling and such.. if you call that "for kids", then sure.. it's for kids
[18:44] <bullgard4> 'man syslogd' presents SYSKLOGD(8) to me. Why does Ubuntu not offer a 'man syslogd'?
[18:44] <whileimhere> What I am tying to do is boot into a program called Wah!Cade
[18:44] <jdnewmil> whileimhere : what is a "plain X session" with no window manager?
[18:44] <shiloh7> ubuntu is like perfect clay, you can mold it to exactly how you want, you dont have to settle for anything
[18:45] <dr_willis> Manther,  i imagine it came with WINDOWS drivers.. which are not LINUX drivers.  I coule be wrong.. but i would be suprsed if they had anything related to linux on their included cds
[18:45] <armornick> another thing, how stable do you think Mint is in comparison to Ubuntu?
[18:45] <dan__> /home/dan/.xchat2/downloads
[18:45] <frederific> every change I make in my home folder (/home/freddie) is mirrored on my desktop. Looking in /home/freddie, it looks like I don't have a desktop folder :S Any ideas? Can I just create /home/freddie/Desktop and it'll work?
[18:45] <amenado> shiloh7-> and like clay it can get hard and crack on you :P
[18:45] <RO-MaSTeR> greetings
[18:45] <shiloh7> lol
[18:45] <dr_willis> armornick,  ive had very few issues with mint. but i dont really need mint. I can install the extra paackagfes it included just fine in normal ubuntu.
[18:45] <RO-MaSTeR> who can help me with linux
[18:45] <RO-MaSTeR> i am new
[18:45] <dr_willis> armornick,  and the ubuntu support is best if you are using 'real' ubuntu. :)
[18:45] <amenado> RO-MaSTeR-> please do a tutorial
[18:46] <xander86> heh romanian ?
[18:46] <Manther> dr_willis: Yeah I do think they are windows drivers, how do I get it working with LINUX (Ubuntu)
[18:46] <RO-MaSTeR> no problem with install
[18:46] <RO-MaSTeR> where can i get drivers
[18:46] <RO-MaSTeR> for sound eg
[18:46] <RO-MaSTeR> :(
[18:46] <amenado> RO-MaSTeR-> then no problem i assume reading some tutorials?
[18:46] <whileimhere> jdnewmil: I am trying to get my arcade cabinet to boot directly into Wah!Cade (an arcade frontend). The less that I have running the better it will work with MAME.
[18:46] <woli> is it ok for a CPU to range between 50-60 Celsius ?
[18:46] <dr_willis> Manther,  totally depends ont he exact chipset of your sound card. I rarely have to mess with sound, I got Creative AUdigy 2zs cards
[18:47] <jdnewmil> whileiamhere : maybe one of the kiosk projects would be useful
[18:47] <Raphi974> yes woli
[18:47] <hwilde> Jack_Sparrow, you here?
[18:47] <keithclark> Ok, I've read and tried every tip with Samba and it still will not work out for me.  I can see the windows computer but the windows computer cannot see the ubuntu machine.
[18:47] <woli> whats the maximum healthy temp for a cpu?
[18:48] <marianul> i have a problem, when i'm accesing Windows Vista with my comp, the enthernet works (i got wireless router, and the wireless from the laptop is ON) when i am trying to connect to UBUNTU SERVER, my enthernet is down, i don't have ethernet.. can sombody help me?
[18:48] <Raphi974> like 70-80 max
[18:49] <dr_willis> keithclark,  my 'basics samba setup' - Install samba service/pckage, edit smb.conf enable home shares, set them to be 'broweable'   - give each user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME'  - and be sure the workgroup name is correct in the smb.conf.. thats about it for me.
[18:49] <pippodepippis> ciao
[18:49] <molePrince> Is there a utility to control fan speeds for laptops please?  The one on mine runs constantly and noisily since I installed Ubuntu.
[18:49] <TTilus> woli: 50 celsius sounds healthy to me, but im not really an expert in hw
[18:49] <Mavrik> molePrince, there's no general utility... what is your laptop model?
[18:49] <keithclark> dr_willis, yup, tried all that.
[18:49] <Aval0n> is there a way to get hosts.deny to use domain names?
[18:49] <marianul> can somebody help me ?
[18:49] <molePrince> Mavrik: ASUS EEE 1000H.
[18:49] <Aval0n> or would have I have manually asign an ip to the domain name in /etc/hosts
[18:49] <Jordan_U> marianul: It's not clear what exactly you are trying to do / what setup you have. How are the computers connected physically and what do you mean by "When I try to connect to UBUNTU SERVER, my ethernet is down" ?
[18:50] <Aval0n> I have a user using dyndns.org
[18:50] <RO-MaSTeR> hmm..
[18:50] <jdnewmil> keithclark : pardon my skepticism that you have "tried all that"... you need to be more specific about what you HAVE done if you want help ... did you follow a howto? which one?
[18:51] <marianul> i got 3 computers, connected to a router, i got dynamic ip, and i am trying lanching the unbutu server to ethernet, to can accesing my ubuntu server by another pc using putty, do you understand me ?
[18:51] <RO-MaSTeR> where can i find a channel for ubuntu support in romania??
[18:51] <marianul> and my ethernet on ubuntu server is down... dosen't works
[18:51] <Dante123> leefmc go with bundle
[18:51] <hwilde> Jordan_U, he is romanian.  He wants to ssh from one computer to the other.  He has openssh server installed, but he has no IP.  he needs to get that machine an IP from his router
[18:51] <Dante123> leefmc u still there?
[18:51] <Dante123> Leefmc u still there?
[18:52] <Leefmc> Dante123: Yup, sorry
[18:52] <Dante123> Leefmc go with bundle
[18:52] <Leefmc> Dante123: Too late
[18:52] <Dante123> Yeah, I had to go eat spaghetti
[18:52] <Leefmc> Dante123: Whats bundle?
[18:52] <Jordan_U> hwilde: "That machine" being the one he is trying to ssh into ?
[18:52] <hwilde> Jordan_U, yeah he's in ubuntu server but he has no IP
[18:52] <Leefmc> Dante123: I've been talkin with a guy in #vmware, i ended up converting the rpm and im installing it as we speak. What the heck is the bundle though?
[18:52] <Dante123> I am at their download page...6.5 beta portal (you have to register to access but it is free)
[18:52] <hwilde> Jordan_U, then he needs to ping that ip from the other machine, and ssh to it
[18:52] <Jordan_U> hwilde: Has he tried "sudo ifconfig eth0 && sudo dhclient eth0" ?
[18:53] <hwilde> Jordan_U, it took me this long to figure out what he is asking.  gotta go eat lunch
[18:53] <XB[afk]> any way i can monitor a interface alias ip
[18:53] <hwilde> Jordan_U, he just needs to get that computer online then he will be able to ssh  to it
[18:53] <Dante123> Leefmc I suspect that you use makefile with it to install
[18:53] <XB[afk]> bandwith wise i mean
[18:53] <XB[afk]> so what each ip is using in bandwidth
[18:53] <Jordan_U> marianul: Try running "sudo ifconfig eth0 && sudo dhclient eth0"
[18:53] <Dante123> Leefmc probably for "generic" or non-rpm linux distros
[18:53] <hwilde> Jordan_U, ifconfig eth0 up u mean
[18:53] <frederific> every change I make in my home folder (/home/freddie) is mirrored on my desktop. Looking in /home/freddie, it looks like I don't have a desktop folder :S Any ideas? Can I just create /home/freddie/Desktop and it'll work?
[18:54] <ShishKabab> Hello. Does the Epson DX4400 scanner/printer work under Ubuntu?
[18:54] <Aval0n> is this a valid entry for hosts.deny sshd: host1.dyndns.org
[18:54] <marianul> jordan running that comand in "" ?
[18:54] <jdnewmil> Jordan_U : if he is behind a NAT firewall then he will need to setup a port forward in the firewall router from the outside to the computer running openssh-server
[18:54] <Jordan_U> hwilde: Yes, thank you
[18:54] <hwilde> jdnewmil, he has both computer connected to a router locally
[18:54] <hwilde> jdnewmil, problem is one does not have an IP
[18:54] <Jordan_U> marianul: Sorry, the command should be "sudo ifconfig eth0 up && sudo dhclient eth0"
[18:54] <hwilde> jdnewmil, thus he cannot ssh to it
[18:55] <marianul> ok 2 sec
[18:55] <hwilde> bbl gl
[18:55] <Dante123> ShishKabab try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=620415
[18:55] <marianul> let me connect to the server
[18:57] <ShishKabab> Seems like a lot of work. How about the HP Deskjet F2280?
[18:57] <marianul> jordan.. he ask me for password
[18:57] <marianul> and now say's something about DHCP .. on eth0 ... to <IP_ADDRESS> port 67 interavl 6, 8 , 10, 12
[18:57] <marianul> what now, wait ?

[19:13] <gruffy> hello hackers!
[19:13] <amenado> marianul->  so your laptop is connected via wired ethernet?  now you need to configure your wireless router so your other pc can connect to the same wireless router as wireless, do you follow?

[19:32] <amenado> tolecnal-> what was the exact command you were doing to get these errors?

[19:32] <Ralesk> is there any PPA repo with newer kernel for hardy? (I use kubuntu, don't want to upgrade and lose KDE3 -- and I don't want to compile myself (hey, I'm lazy :P))
[19:32] <IndyGunFreak> !patience | mkesadaran
[19:32] <mkesadaran> ok
[19:32] <outofthemadness> amenado -> Me either. The problem is that my main user can't mount it and also only has read access to it, and any attempts to change the permissions(as root) for any file on the drive results in permission denied or something or other

[19:33] <flyback> hey I know linux used to not be like this but it's changed a lot in the yrs since I really got that low level into it, any reason you guys can think of that I will have install ubuntu to a vm then cloneing to a physical box

[19:52] <kwyjibo> is there a more... robust gnome irc client than xchat?
[19:53] <mkesadaran> ompaul when i followed step 3 activating intramarfs terminal gives me message generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-19 generic
[19:53] <ompaul> mkesadaran, which is what it is supposed to do
[19:53] <saschahl> kwyjibo: I find xchat pretty robust. what do you have against it?
[19:53] <mkesadaran> ompaul do i exit terminal now?
[19:53] <ompaul> mkesadaran, you have your hands on the bear metal atm
[19:53] <saschahl> kwyjibo: you can always use irssi in a terminal. ;-)
[19:54] <ompaul> mkesadaran, only when the comment returns to you and hands you a prompt but I think you need to do more there
[19:54] <kwyjibo> are there any irssi powered graphic irc clients?
[19:54] <kwyjibo> graphic+al
[19:54] <ompaul> mkesadaran,  to do so type "exit" in the terminal
[19:55] <ompaul> mkesadaran, and make sure you bookmark that page before you go offline so you can continue when you reboot
[19:55] <saschahl> kwyjibo: what does your irc client need to do what xchat does not?
[19:55] <kwyjibo> well.
[19:55] <saschahl> kwyjibo: I think you can put irssi in a proxy mode, and connect to it from any irc client
[19:55] <mkesadaran> ompaul im currently using my desktop with windows as my laptop (which im trying to load the driver on) has an unfunctioning internet
[19:56] <kwyjibo> i don't see a way to have individual channels in their own windows, without sidebars, without tree menus
[19:56] <ompaul> mkesadaran, well you can plug a wire into the back of it if you have access to a wire :)
[19:56] <mkesadaran> ompaul i tried doesnt work
[19:56] <kwyjibo> oh. i stand corrected. *dumb*
[19:56] <my_haz_> is there an easy apt that i can use to switch between russian and english ?
[19:56] <ianliu_88> I installed virtualbox-ose, but I can't install virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.... What should I do?
[19:56] <kwyjibo> okay. so xchat isn't so bad
[19:57] <csyntax_> anyone use the perl-support plugin for gvim?
[19:57] <my_haz_> kwyjibo: irssi and screen are a nice combo
[19:58] <kwyjibo> i used to use that
[19:58] <mkesadaran> ompaul i think im doing something wrong. currently i have the driver files in my flash drive, when i create the blacklist files, how do i place the driver files in it
[19:58] <kwyjibo> wow. this server is amazing. i haven't identified in ages. i thought my nick would be gone. but there it is... i just identified :P

[19:58] <csyntax_> hi
[19:59] <jBart> hello
[19:59] <csyntax_> anyone
[19:59] <KenBW22> does Dell give you the opportunity to change the keyboard layout with its Ubuntu laptops?
[19:59] <csyntax_> i not sure why i get them error for.
[20:00] <qdii> good evening
[20:00] <gnuskool> csyntax_: did you try what malacandra suggested
[20:00] <KenBW22> or alternatively does Dell sell laptops with Ubuntu in Finland
[20:00] <csyntax_> i don't want to use emac.
[20:00] <kwyjibo> i edited the w2k metacity theme. it was inaccurate with the button metrics, colours, and such. if anyone wants it let me know. not sure if i should upload it to gnome art, since it's not my work, i only updated it.
[20:00] <qdii> I was wondering if anyone had ever been able to have a dual screen work with "glx" module
[20:01] <IndyGunFreak> KenBW22: just do a search on laptops that are known top be compatible w/ Linux.. and look for those models.
[20:01] <jBart> i've got huge problem with rar
[20:01] <IndyGunFreak> KenBW22: general rule of thumb.. Intel Wireless(or atheros), Nvidia Graphics...
[20:01] <kwyjibo> oh that reminds me. can someone suggest some good free monospace fonts? :)
[20:01] <jBart> "rar a -v200000000b -m0 -ppassword -p- archiv *files*" creates archives i cant unpack
[20:02] <csyntax_> ?
[20:02] <KenBW22> IndyGunFreak: so anything else has a relatively high chance of working OOTB?
[20:02] <csyntax_> gnuskool, you real the link?
[20:02] <gnuskool> KenBW22: not sure, but i got latitude d830, brand spanking :D, it came in xp pro Swedish, but I have a vista licence on it, I rang back asked for an english version and got it 2 days later
[20:02] <csyntax_> read
[20:03] <gnuskool> csyntax_: yeah
[20:03] <IndyGunFreak> KenBW22: no, that stuff i listed, generally works close to out of the box.. if its really new it might not, but like i said, googling models available in your area, and "ubuntu 8.04", will probably tell you the problems you might run into.
[20:03] <jBart> without the -p- option everything is working...
[20:03] <csyntax_> what you think?
[20:03] <csyntax_> i love useing gvim
[20:03] <IndyGunFreak> KenBW22: if you anticipate a problem, just dualboot it w/(i'm assuming) vista for a short while while you sort stuff out.
[20:03] <Jowi> hi, I just installed Hardy (server) and is tacking on the GUI things I want afterwards. "users-admin" buttons are greyed out. what package am I missing?
[20:04] <csyntax_> what you think gnuskool?
[20:04] <IndyGunFreak> KenBW22: most stuff, you will get to work one way or another.
[20:04] <KenBW22> IndyGunFreak: its not for me, its for a finnish friend
[20:04] <csyntax_> the funny thing it works in fedora 9
[20:04] <mkesadaran> ompaul if your still there, im confused as to what i do with the driver files on my flash drive
[20:04] <IndyGunFreak> KenBW22: well, the same theory still applies
[20:04] <KenBW22> IndyGunFreak: what about changing the keyboard yourself - feasible?
[20:04] <IndyGunFreak> KenBW22: i'ev never done anytihng like that..
[20:04] <ompaul> mkesadaran, let me look at that url again
