[12:01] <stefg> Fezzler: ooohhh... samba is a science for itself... first make sure the drive is shared.
[12:01] <Lilacor> johnficca2: that depends what you mean
[12:01] <stefg> samba | Fezzler
[12:01] <stefg> !samba | Fezzler
[12:01] <ubotu> Fezzler: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[12:01] <johnficca2> jabra is connected via bluetooth
[12:01] <stefg> Fezzler: now digest the howto's
[12:01] <Broccoly_> is there some gui utlity to config a multi button mouse?
[12:01] <Lilacor> johnficca2: the linux bluetooth stack works well but not all devices will be able to be used even if they're bluetooth
[12:02] <johnficca2> but I'm tring to connect to skype with btsco
[12:02] <darkos> #ubuntu.es
[12:02] <Lilacor> johnficca2: sorry, I haven't a clue what that is
[12:02] <Fezzler> I will.  Thanks stefg. Enough help from you for one day!  Correction, /srv folder is shared, not drive, right?
[12:02] <zabovo> jabra and linux: http://www.maven.pl/?p=22
[12:03] <stefg> Fezzler: right, you got the hang
[12:03] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: how did you mount your ntfs volume?
[12:03] <Fezzler> stefg: I'm gonna try to get swat running to get configuring samba a little easier
[12:04] <chdragonfly> lilacor: i just used gksu gedit /etc/fstab and changed the ntfs to ntfs-3g
[12:04] <Fezzler> stefg:  See, I knew my fearless use of command line from days of CP/M would come in handy!
[12:04] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: and then?
[12:04] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly_, like logitech?  they're in synaptid
[12:04] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: it's not going to mount just by editing your fstab
[12:04] <Fezzler> stefg: God Bless
[12:04] <stefg> Fezzler: would you use signs and gestures when you could just talk
[12:05] <chdragonfly> lilacor: then what does do i need to do?
[12:05] <SonsOfAtreus> synaptic even
[12:05] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: first of all it sounds like you're using just native-kernel NTFS
[12:05] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: you need to make a mount point for the volume underneath /media first
[12:05] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: it doesn't have to be under media but that's a good place to start
[12:06] <Wicks> lo all... can anyone recommend a good newsreader that supports NZB files and SSL encryption?
[12:06] <Fezzler> stefg: Yes, I need to learn Ubuntu/Linux/Unix commands again.  I used to play on Unix and DEC and VAXs
[12:06] <chdragonfly> lilacor: can you do it step by step like how to do that? im completely new to commandline and linux
[12:06] <Broccoly_> SonOfAtreus: whats synaptid?
[12:06] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: you could put it under /this/computer/is/really/broken
[12:06] <SonsOfAtreus> a typo
[12:06] <Broccoly_> SonsOfAtreus: : whats synaptid?
[12:06] <stefg> Fezzler: so you have got your basic linux command line diploma today :-)
[12:06] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: anyhow so mkdir /media/foo
[12:06] <SonsOfAtreus> 'synaptic oackage manager'
[12:06] <Fezzler> stefg: I also used some php and shell scripting to get my wife's Web site running well
[12:06] <SonsOfAtreus> 'synaptic package manager'
[12:07] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: figure out what your NTFS volume is...unmount it from its current state
[12:07] <stefg> Fezzler: and feel proud not having used a whimpish gui :-)
[12:07] <Fezzler> stefg: Is the command line for Ubuntu specialized in anyway or does any Linux command line book set me up?
[12:07] <chdragonfly> lilacor: when i tried to mkdrive, it says permission denied
[12:07] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: use sudo
[12:07] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: use sudo for all non user files
[12:08] <chdragonfly> lilacor: ok, created
[12:08] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly, gnome users find it when they do    system / Admin / synaptic
[12:08] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: so if I tell you mkdir .... type in 'sudo mkdir....'
[12:08] <kazol> I have trouble partitioning, it says something like the root filesystem is not defined.
[12:08] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: umount your ntfs drive
[12:08] <stefg> Fezzler: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/
[12:08] <chdragonfly> lilacor: how to umount?
[12:08] <stefg> cli | Fezzler
[12:08] <kazol> I'm trying to partition 2x10GB for software RAID-1
[12:09] <m1r> hi all
[12:09] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly, are you a gnome user?
[12:09] <stefg> !cli | Fezzler
[12:09] <ubotu> Fezzler: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[12:09] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: umount /volume/mount/location
[12:09] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: wherever you mounted the ntfs volume
[12:09] <Shaddox> Hi everyone. I am having trouble with cpufreqd, can someone help?
[12:09] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: if you don't know, use df -h
[12:09] <Fezzler> stefg: bookmarked both
[12:10] <Lilacor> Shaddox: it's helpful if you tell people what problems you're having first
[12:10] <Fezzler> !cli
[12:10] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[12:10] <Shaddox> Lilacor: It won't start, restart, or scale my cpu according to the cpufreqd.conf I modified.
[12:10] <chdragonfly> lilacor: my ntfs is in /dev/sda1 what is line im suppose to type to cmd?
[12:10] <Fezzler> stefg: Learned a lot about IRC today to:  Paste, ! commands, /join, etc.
[12:10] <Lilacor> Shaddox: did you monitor your kernel messages as well as system messages?
[12:10] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly, in the taskbar find,  System / Administration / Synaptic PM  then click 'Search' and enter Logitech in the window, and make sure it's set to look in 'Name and Description'
[12:10] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: yes but where is it mounted on your computer right now?
[12:11] <stefg> Fezzler: and the nice thing is... this works on OSX's terminal, too. Macs use bash (?) as well
[12:11] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: you said you can read from the ntfs volume, correct?
[12:11] <Shaddox> Lilacor: I can't change terminals out of tty7 otherwise my video screws.
[12:11] <chdragonfly> lilacor: i don't understand what you mean
[12:11] <chdragonfly> lilacor: /media/sda1
[12:11] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: are you able to view files off of your ntfs volume or not?
[12:11] <Fezzler> stefg: Yea, my OS X box sees all the computers on my home network.
[12:11] <Fezzler> stefg: Vista HP is a dog
[12:11] <chdragonfly> lilacor: yes, and i found its mounted on /media/sda1
[12:11] <Lilacor> Shaddox: ctrl+alt+Fn ...you can only use n=7?
[12:12] <darkos> ubuntu.ve
[12:12] <Fezzler> stefg: Plus I need to get straight on permissions
[12:12] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: okay... good
[12:12] <darkos> #ubuntu.ve
[12:12] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: now let's umount it
[12:12] <Shaddox> Lilacor: Yep.
[12:12] <Lilacor> Shaddox: your computer is hosed..that is super wacky
[12:12] <SonsOfAtreus> 'Earth to Broccoly_'  how's things doing?
[12:12] <kazol> I'm trying to partition 2x10GB software RAID but I get "root filesystem is not specified"
[12:12] <Shaddox> Lilacor: It's just this particular laptop and linux.
[12:12] <babbleback> why would man pages not display the correct characters all the time? for example: man time has: The format string FORMAT controls the contents of the time output.  The format  string can be set using the -f or --format, -v or --ver       bose, or -p or --portability options.
[12:12] <orangefly> anyone know where i can get a good ubuntu lightscribe image....???....
[12:12] <darkos> i need format my pc >.<
[12:12] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: sudo umount /media/sda1
[12:12] <tokj> aloha
[12:13] <Shaddox> Lilacor: I have no problem with the OS itself, just with changing terminals.
[12:13] <Fezzler> stefg: Should I use id and passwd protection on home network in case fire walls fail as added protection
[12:13] <chdragonfly> lilacor: ok, done
[12:13] <darkos> but i can't in to the bios
[12:13] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: okay so you installed ntfs-3g already correct/
[12:13] <Broccoly_> SonsOfAtreus: : i didnt understand what you meant by synaptid
[12:13] <kazol> How the hell do I partition RAID? I'm trying to partition 2x10GB HDs but the installer gives me the error msg "root fs not specified."
[12:13] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly_, do you use Gnome?
[12:13] <Lilacor> Shaddox: still..that is super wacky.  :-/
[12:13] <Shaddox> Lilacor: It was working at one point. :/
[12:13] <chdragonfly> lilacor: im pretty sure i installed it
[12:13] <Fezzler> stefg: One, absolutely one, last Q?
[12:13] <Merrigan> hellos all
[12:14] <Shaddox> Lilacor: The scaling, i mean. I need to scale my processor at 50% at all times, to keep my system from overheating.
[12:14] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: what happens when you enter ntfs-3g?
[12:14] <darkos> HELLLLLLLLP!  I NEED FORMAT MY PC
[12:14] <Neil-> chill out darkos
[12:14] <Neil-> whats up?
[12:14] <kazol> Does anyone here know howto partition RAID?? I've been trying to get an answer for 2 months already.
[12:14] <Lilacor> darkos: uhhhh...you also need a valium
[12:14] <Broccoly_> SonsOfAtreus: : yup
[12:14] <orangefly> anyone know where i can get a good ubuntu lightscribe image....???....
[12:14] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly_, in the taskbar find,  System / Administration / Synaptic Package Manager --- then click 'Search' and enter Logitech in the window, and make sure it's set to look in 'Description and Name'
[12:14] <Shaddox> darkos: use the Ubunu installer, you can format the machine using it.
[12:15] <stefg> Fezzler: a question of your personal paranoia level... if you setup samba smart you have corresponding accounts on thze server and the client, so passwords are used transparntly for your home users but won#t gtant anyone access
[12:15] <kazol> I guess not many people use software RAID?
[12:15] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: if you get nothing, you'll know if you installed it or not
[12:15] <chdragonfly> lilacor: it says no device specifies, but displays ntfs-3g 1.328 Theird generation and some copyright stuff
[12:15] <jad> hey, how do i change my keyring password
[12:15] <jad> ?
[12:15] <darkos> ok
[12:15] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: did you add your username to the fuse group?
[12:15] <Merrigan> hmmm....interesting channel. only irc support channel I have ever seen activity in
[12:15] <kazol> How do I partition RAID?
[12:15] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: if not, 'sudo adduser <username> fuse'
[12:15] <chdragonfly> lilacor: how do i add username to fuse group?
[12:15] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly_, I may have missed whether or not you use Logitech with the multi-buttoned mouse
[12:15] <jad> also, how do i check to see what kind of sound card my laptop has?
[12:16] <crimsun> jad: `asoundconf list'
[12:16] <Jordan_U> !RAID kazol
[12:16] <Shaddox> Lilacor: If I don't scale my CPU, my machine will overheat the instant I start my WineX, or Cedega.
[12:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about raid kazol - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:16] <kazol> What does the "root FS not specified" error msg mean??
[12:16] <Jordan_U> !RAID | kazol
[12:16] <Shaddox> !RAID >kazol
[12:16] <ubotu> kazol: Raid and LVM --> very easy guide for alternate CD : http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/raid.html Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[12:16] <Fezzler> With samba, I need to give users permission and set sharing permissions for folders on both client and server (Ubuntu)?
[12:16] <chdragonfly> lilacor: added
[12:16] <kazol> Jordan_U: I've followed all online guides and howto's, none of them work!
[12:16] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: what did you just type into the terminal?
[12:16] <chdragonfly> sudo adduser jxh fuse
[12:16] <kazol> I don't understand how the people who wrote the guides managed to setup RAID.
[12:17] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: okay good
[12:17] <Fezzler> stefg:  Once smb is conf (I know, no easy task) all I need to do is MAP to the drives in /srv we created
[12:17] <Merrigan> rite, let's see what happens when I throw my little question into the pile
[12:17] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: now it's time to manually mount your ntfs drive using ntfs-3g
[12:17] <jad> crimsun, it just says Intel...
[12:17] <Broccoly_> SonsOfAtreus: : yes a logitech trackball, i was reading on the internets what others have done to their xorg.conf, mine just doesnt want to scroll
[12:17] <Shaddox> kazol: I don't know anything about RAID, just that Windows always needed third-party drivers for most RAID devices
[12:17] <jonnydev135> I'm trying to follow a tutorial that wants me to run apache2-ssl-certificate, but I don't have it.  Does anybody know what package this is in, or if it has been renamed?
[12:17] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: so 'ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1'
[12:17] <stefg> Fezzler: if you think in windows terms, yes
[12:17] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: make sure that sda1 exists under /media
[12:17] <crimsun> jad: so you probably have HDA.  please read http://www.linux-sound.info/alsa/index.php?task=support and tell me the URL of the paste generated by the script linked from that page.
[12:17] <Shaddox> jonnydev135: Try the Apache Foundation's website. http://www.apache.org/
[12:18] <Shaddox> jonnydev135: Search up the docs.
[12:18] <Lilacor> Shaddox: I feel for you
[12:18] <Lilacor> Shaddox: that sounds like pulling teeth
[12:18] <jonnydev135> Shaddox: ok
[12:18] <Fezzler> stefg: Well, thanks again. Enough for one day.  I got two Samba books here and a link to samba.org for tonight.
[12:18] <Shaddox> Lilacor: It's either scale it down, or take it apart and replace the thermal grease. Which I have NEVER heard of before. :/
[12:18] <kazol> This is ridiculous. I followed all directions on howto setup software RAID. I guess not many people use RAID at all?
[12:18] <Jordan_U> Lilacor, ntfs-config set's up NTFS partitions automatically if that helps
[12:18] <stefg> Fezzler: so have fun with 200 GB to fill :-)
[12:18] <Merrigan> I have a Pentium III 450 MHz, with 128Mb of RAM. I need ubutu installed on it preferably. Is it possible? Which Version? and if it is (with Feisty) how do I go about doing so? I have been struggling to get it going now since yesterday, and I don't have advice for myself anymore
[12:18] <Fezzler> stefg: see ya around and thanks.  UBUNTU ROCKS!
[12:19] <Lilacor> Jordan_U: what do you mean?
[12:19] <chdragonfly> lilacor: it says "failed to mount 'dev/sda1; operation not supported, mount is denied because NTFS logfile is unclean
[12:19] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly_ in Synaptic is a file called   'Logitech-applet'  that is a "Logitech mouse tweaking utility'
[12:19] <Sivik> how do i assign a static ip to a network interface via gui
[12:19] <Sivik> via CLI*
[12:19] <jad> crimsun, what options should i use it with?
[12:19] <gnomefreak> Merrigan: very possible start by downloading the alternate cd from ubuntu.com
[12:19] <stefg> Merrigan: use an alternate install of xubuntu. 256 MB is required for ubuntu
[12:19] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: okay, do you have a win32 box lying around?
[12:19] <crimsun> jad: the default ones (none)
[12:19] <gnomefreak> stefg: ubuntu runs fine on that
[12:20] <gnomefreak> i have same set up
[12:20] <chdragonfly> lilacor: what's a win32 box? if its the cd that windows come with, no
[12:20] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: because I think you're going to need it now
[12:20] <Merrigan> aaah ok, I see. I will then have to download that tomorrow...and see if I can find some more ram for this machine ;)
[12:20] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: box as in computer
[12:20] <crdlb> Merrigan: I have the same computer and it runs ubuntu fine after adding another 128MB of ram
[12:20] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly_, maybe I've helped you enough,   (waiting and waiting and waiting.......)
[12:20] <chdragonfly> lilacor: i don't get it?
[12:21] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: you're probably going to have to take the ntfs drive and run a chkdsk /f on it
[12:21] <stefg> gnomefreak: i never tried, just spreading the official propaganda. on a 128 MB machine xubuntu is definitely better fun
[12:21] <Merrigan> crdlb: I will then definitely check it out :)
[12:21] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: using *windows*
[12:21] <Merrigan> thanx all, that is all
[12:21] <Merrigan> I'm off *waves*
[12:21] <arnoT> hi all. anyone know how to set wacom in xorg.conf? I can set correct settings with a script running different xsetwacom lines, but can't seem to make them default in X startup?
[12:21] <chdragonfly> lilacor: i can't boot windows right now, that's why im trying to change teh boot.ini file
[12:21] <Broccoly_> SonsOfAtreus: : it describes logitech-applet as a tweaker of logitech specific settings ;-) scrolling seems like it should be done in xorf.conf heh
[12:21] <Cryoniq> Problem: I am trying to get my wireless network PCI card Netgear WGT311T working on Ubuntu 6.10 and WPA etc. I have the wpaapplicant installet, I edited the network file, added ENABLE=0 to wpaapplicant file, restarted and touched file. But when I load gnome I get error message that NetworkManager Applet couldnt proceed because it is missing something..
[12:21] <gnomefreak> stefg: i run ubuntu here fine on my p3 this pc im on isnt the one but i have like 6 set up
[12:21] <Toyd> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DEcRtYLkt8
[12:22] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: do you have a BartPE CD around?
[12:22] <jad> crimsun, how do i execute it? simply running it as a command isn't working
[12:22] <Cryoniq> And I restarted dbus after reboot also btw..
[12:22] <chdragonfly> lilacor: what's a bartPE cd? i don't think i have it
[12:22] <jad> crimsun, sudo: ./alsa-info.sh: command not found
[12:23] <jad> that isn't working either
[12:23] <jad> oh nvm, i just found the instructions
[12:23] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: it's a windows utility CD
[12:23] <Broccoly_> SonsOfAtreus: : logitech-applet doesn't seem to do anything but set resolutions and "cruise"
[12:23] <chdragonfly> lilacor: i think i lost mine
[12:24] <chdragonfly> lilacor: is there anyway to make my windows boot? without the windows utility cd?
[12:24] <webcrawle> any idea when the new kernel <IP_ADDRESS> will be released to the repos?
[12:24] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: you have to create one yourself ...I'm sure you didn't have it in the first place or you wouldn've kjnown what it is
[12:24] <SonsOfAtreus> broccoly_, you could try the reset command for the xorg.conf file...   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg  ..... maybe things will be detected.
[12:24] <jad> crimsun, http://pastebin.ca/499158
[12:24] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: do you have your windows CD?
[12:24] <chdragonfly> lilacor: no, other than the ubuntu installation cd, i don't have any cds T_T
[12:25] <Zampaktu> hi, i have a sony vaio, with the base feisty installation my volou up/down keys work fine, after updates it does not work anymore (mute still works) has anybody seen this (and know a fix)?
[12:25] <pc_> I have four monitors on my ubuntu machine YAY!!
[12:25] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: you're hosed
[12:25] <crimsun> jad: what's the issue?
[12:25] <oSh> hola
[12:25] <Zampaktu> volume
[12:25] <webcrawle> anyone?
[12:25] <gnomefreak> webcrawle: it will not be release for ubuntu at all. 2.6.22 is going in gutsy feistys kernel stays the same
[12:25] <jad> crimsun, the sound is extremely distorted at any relatively high volume
[12:25] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: go get your friend's windows CD and boot into recovery mode with it
[12:25] <Broccoly_> SonsOfAtreus: : nope it doesnt know about this mouse, or that is has 4 buttons
[12:25] <jad> like, it doesn't even sound like music
[12:25] <jad> sounds like someone's farting
[12:25] <pc_> I have four monitors on my ubuntu machine YAY!!
[12:25] <crimsun> jad: but it works and is audible at normal (mid-level) volumes?
[12:25] <chdragonfly> lilacor: i can access windows recovery, but there's no way by fixing around stuff i can boot windows?
[12:26] <Broccoly_> SonsOfAtreus: : xorg.conf has to be modded manually, and i thought there is a gui app and it doesnt work with the settings i'm using
[12:26] <jad> crimsun, yeah it's perfect at mid to low level
[12:26] <oSh> Sabeis como se activa lo de los espacios de trabajo en forma de cubo? Lo tengo marcado en "Efectos de escritorio" y los efectos de las ventanas van bien todos pero, el cubo no se activa y anteriormente s que he conseguido hacerlo funcionar.
[12:26] <Toyd> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DEcRtYLkt8
[12:26] <crimsun> jad: ok, then that's a hardware issue.
[12:26] <crimsun> jad: we can attempt to workaround it in software, but it will only mask the real hardware issue.
[12:26] <webcrawle> gnomefreak: hmmm...ok any guides to compile my own, ive tried unsuccesfully before
[12:26] <pc_> chdragonfly: if you mbr is messed up type this: fixmbr and fixboot. Then you can restart and boot back into xp
[12:26] <Lilacor> Shaddox: I'm not registered. I can't send /msg
[12:26] <Shaddox> oSh, ingles por favor, habla ingles?
[12:26] <Shaddox> Ah damn.
[12:26] <oSh> ahm, sorry
[12:26] <sysko> hola
[12:26] <gnomefreak> webcrawle: there are but ive never seen them nor used them
[12:26] <sysko> hello
[12:26] <Shaddox> it's okay, amigo
[12:26] <jad> crimsun, can i send my laptop with ubuntu on it to HP and ask them to fix it? or do companies not fix computers with linux on them?
[12:27] <sysko> alguien habla espaol?
[12:27] <chdragonfly> pc_: where do i type fixmbr
[12:27] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly_, maybe look into the file:    libgii1
[12:27] <gnomefreak> sysko: join #ubuntu-es
[12:27] <Shaddox> oSh: whats yer problem
[12:27] <pc_> at the xp recovery.
[12:27] <crimsun> jad: no idea.  You need to contact their tech support.
[12:27] <Lilacor> jad: how much money do you have?
[12:27] <sysko> speak spanish?
[12:27] <webcrawle> anyone else have a guide for getting the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel working in feisty
[12:27] <gnomefreak> sysko: in #ubuntu-es they speak spanish
[12:27] <jad> crimsun, but even when i put the headphones in the same problem happens
[12:27] <jad> and the headphones aren't broken or anything, they're fine on my other computer

[12:28] <chdragonfly> pc_; i don't get it? like at the xp recovery, there's only 2 option, destructive restore and full system restore with backup
[12:28] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: uhhhh
[12:28] <pc_> chdragonfly: boot xp cd. then hit r to go to recovery console, then type that.
[12:29] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: when you boot you have the option of going into recovery mode
[12:29] <Toyd> use windows next next done
[12:29] <Toyd> bsod reinstall next next
[12:29] <chdragonfly> pc_: i don't have the xp cd
[12:29] <Shaddox> chdragonfly: I'm a Windows expert, what's wrong with windows?
[12:29] <laser2> Please how eliminate message [Press RETURN to try, 'no' + RETURN to abort]  in add/remove aplication?
[12:29] <pc_> chdragonfly: then your screwed.
[12:29] <Gat0rvean> Can anyone tell me what "Evolution Exchange" and "Evolution Alarm Manager" are, and why they are enabled for startup, and how to disable them?
[12:29] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: you're hosed
[12:29] <Shaddox> Tis what I've used till about 2 months ago
[12:29] <webcrawle> anyone have the links to the ubuntu nighly builds?
[12:29] <Toyd> use ajax to clean your windows
[12:29] <chdragonfly> shaddox: my windows won't boot...and apparently 2 person just told me its hopeless
[12:30] <orbisvicis> hey, whats a recommended firewall for ubuntu ?
[12:30] <Shaddox> chdragonfly: Is your boot.ini alright?
[12:30] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: don't you have any friends you can borrow their windows CD from?
[12:30] <esther> #ubuntu-br
[12:30] <gnomefreak> chdragonfly: try in a windows channel maybe?
[12:30] <webcrawle> firewall-firestarter
[12:30] <laser2> Please how eliminate message [Press RETURN to try, 'no' + RETURN to abort]  in add/remove aplication?
[12:30] <orbisvicis> thnx
[12:30] <Jordan_U> !firewall > orbisvicis
[12:30] <Shaddox> orbisvicis: Linux/Ubuntu comes with the iptables filterer, but I recommended Firestarter.
[12:30] <steve44> chdragonfly, http://www.bootdisk.com/  ?
[12:30] <Shaddox> orbisvicis: You can just search up Firestarter in the Add/Remove Programs menu entry.
[12:31] <orbisvicis> also, hows the blackdown java package?
[12:31] <chdragonfly> o wow, thanks steve44
[12:31] <gnomefreak> orbisvicis: install sun-java5-plugin
[12:31] <jad> crimsun, it's a software issue because the problem is the same with my headphones
[12:32] <crimsun> jad: no, it's a hardware issue.
[12:32] <gnomefreak> or if feisty enable backports and install sun-java6-plugin as it fixes some issues
[12:32] <orbisvicis> 'k
[12:32] <jad> crimsun, but like i said...my headphones aren't broken
[12:32] <chdragonfly> shaddox: my boot ini looks like htis  			 				 [boot loader]
[12:32] <chdragonfly> timeout=5
[12:32] <chdragonfly> default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW  S
[12:32] <chdragonfly> [operating systems]
[12:32] <chdragonfly> multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro  soft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /noguiboot
[12:32] <crimsun> jad: the gain in the actual hardware is broken.   And get to me with a /msg, and we can do this in private.
[12:33] <jad> crimsun, and the gain controls output to both speakers and headphones?
[12:33] <Lilacor> __mikem: use the alternate install CD instead
[12:33] <crimsun> jad: already addressed that.
[12:33] <ash_> Anyone know how to get the mail client to accept the certificate related to my email account instead of asking everytime?
[12:34] <__mikem> Lilacor, if I use the alternate cd, then someone is oging to have to help me with the partitioning
[12:34] <gnomefreak> ash_: tell it to
[12:34] <Lilacor> __mikem: why? you should be able to figure things out on your own
[12:35] <Lilacor> __mikem: partitioning isn't some black magic that only a few of us know about
[12:35] <ash_> gnomefreak: I hit yes everytime.. is there anyway to get it to automatically accept the certificate or add it to a list of all approved certs?
[12:35] <__mikem> Lilacor, I have never done it before, and I think for someone who hasn't done ti before, having someone walk him through it is very reasonable
[12:36] <gnomefreak> ash_: check the settings for your mail client. now maybe if you told us what mail client someone can be helpful
[12:36] <Jordan_U> __mikem, If you have another comp available you can just hop on here for help
[12:36] <ash_> gnomefreak: evolution mail
[12:37] <gnomefreak> ash_: evo isnt my cup of tea but alot of people use it so possibly someone in here will know. but i would check settings/prefferences first as most GUI mail clients are able to accept them in htere
[12:37] <gnomefreak> there
[12:37] <ash_> gnomefreak: cool thanks
[12:37] <__mikem> Jordan_U, I know, thats what i am doing
[12:37] <Zampaktu> hi, i have a sony vaio, with the base feisty installation my volou up/down keys work fine, after updates it does not work anymore (mute still works) has anybody seen this (and know a fix)?
[12:38] <__mikem> I should have gotten a sony vaio instead of the hp pavilian
[12:39] <Lilacor> __mikem: Sony's support is dismal
[12:39] <gabito> ESto del ingles es medio jodido
[12:39] <Zampaktu> __mikem: i have a vaio, stay away from it

[12:40] <ironcladlou> if you have 2 physical drives, drive 1 is windows, drive 2 is linux, and you want to install grub into the mbr, do you enter "hd0" or "hd1" into the advanced options during install?
[12:40] <gabito> vamos a seguir leyendo un poco
[12:40] <Zampaktu> __mikem: system76 or maybe wait for dell?
[12:41] <__mikem> Zampaktu, the problem is, I already have the machine, it was a graduation present
[12:41] <SonsOfAtreus> Lilacor, I don't understand that one

[12:41] <fiberoptics> Hey, i seem to have the following issue but cannot find a fix on google/docs/etc: I have a widescreen monitor on an ATI mobility radeon video card. Though the resolution is messed up in X.org and I can't seem to change it to the appropriate value. (I don't know hsync or vsync of monitor to edit xorg.conf either, since I don't know the model of the monitor :()
[12:41] <__mikem> I would just use wubi, but wubi does'nt work on vista
[12:41] <SonsOfAtreus> Lilacor, you're trying to make me have bad dreams?

[12:43] <SonsOfAtreus> Lilacor, oh, I see.
[12:43] <__mikem> Lilacor, it was a present, and if I tell my dad I want to return it because it won't boot linux I will never hear the end of it

[12:44] <Shaddox> Lilacor: I still need help with cpufreqd. ^^
[12:44] <gabito> muchas thenkyus.... ahora se que la instalacion fue un exito y salgo a la red chauusssssssss
[12:45] <fiberoptics> Does anyone have any suggestions? :
[12:45] <Shaddox> Lilacor: I uninstalled and reinstalled cpufreqd and got some insight into my error, but I'm still stumped.
[12:45] <Lilacor> __mikem: tell him you want a different laptop... if he throws a tomato <or some other rotten vegetation> at you then you'll have to work with what you have right nwo
[12:45] <Lilacor> Shaddox: so you only have a console... no kdm/gdm correct?
[12:45] <Shaddox> No cpufreq interface found, not starting cpufreqd.
[12:45] <Shaddox> I am on GDM
[12:45] <webcrawle> what is the link to download the snapshot builds of ubuntu?
[12:45] <Lilacor> Shaddox: okay open up two terminal windows
[12:46] <Shaddox> But I cannot switch AWAY from my F7 terminal [My Xorg Ubuntu GUI]
[12:46] <Shaddox> Both are up
[12:46] <Lilacor> Shaddox: one to monitor dmesg and one to monitor /var/log/messages
[12:46] <Shaddox> How? Huh?
[12:46] <Lilacor> Shaddox: then restart your cpufreqd
[12:47] <Shaddox> Monitor wha?
[12:47] <Lilacor> Shaddox: tail -f /var/log/messages
[12:47] <fiberoptics> :(
[12:47] <webcrawle> anyone?
[12:47] <Shaddox> okay and the dmesg one?
[12:48] <Lilacor> tail -f /var/log/dmesg
[12:48] <Shaddox> Lilacor: You said I had to monitor dmesg too, how?
[12:48] <Shaddox> ah
[12:48] <Shaddox> Thanks
[12:48] <Jordan_U> webcrawle, #ubuntu+
[12:48] <Jordan_U> #ubuntu+1
[12:48] <cholera> how do you pronounce Ubuntu?
[12:48] <Lilacor> restart your cpufreqd
[12:48] <Lilacor> Shaddox: then see what errors occur
[12:49] <Shaddox> Lilacor: /etc/init.d/cpufreqd restart
[12:49] <Shaddox> Lilacor: right?
[12:49] <Lilacor> should be
[12:49] <SonsOfAtreus> OO-boon-too
[12:49] <yghor> hello, does anyone knows the command for finding your own ipadress from the terminal... i totally forgot
[12:49] <Shaddox> Lilacor: Neither of them said anything new
[12:49] <cholera> ip addr
[12:49] <Shaddox> Lilacor: But it still said fail
[12:50] <Jordan_U> cholera, You can here Nelson Mandella say: totem ~/examples/Experience-ubuntu.ogg
[12:50] <webcrawle> HaSH love the script
[12:50] <Lilacor> Shaddox: are there any log files under /var/log related to that program?
[12:50] <SonsOfAtreus> cholera, and the neat thing is, you don't have to be black to use it. :)
[12:50] <Shaddox> Lilacor: LEt me start Nautilus and browse my way there.
[12:50] <rockstar_> Has anyone ever succeeded in installing ubuntu to a usb hard drive?
[12:50] <TheSheep> The scanning program says: "error: Access to resource has been denied". I'm in the proper group, and the scanner used to work. Any hints on what went wrong?
[12:51] <Shaddox> Lilacor: I see daemon.log, if that's it. And daemon.log.0
[12:51] <Lilacor> Shaddox: type in dmesg | tail and see if you have any relevant information there
[12:51] <yghor> cholera: thanks

[12:51] <Lilacor> Shaddox: okay check that then
[12:51] <Shaddox> Lilacor: All that comes up is stuff involving my wireless network's WEP security and how it authenticated and connected me to the net.
[12:52] <Shaddox> Lilacor: There's a 'faillog' too.

[12:52] <Lilacor> +kb time
[12:53] <SonsOfAtreus> cholera, that's strange, I've never heard of that one.
[12:53] <Foon> can someone tell me, according to what I pasted above, what are my odds someone will succeed in breaking in to my server?
[12:53] <TheSheep> SonsOfAtreus: don't swear :)
[12:53] <hammedhaaret> TheSheep: oki dokey then.....
[12:53] <Foon> I opened port 22 on my router, redirecting it to my server's ssh
[12:53] <Shaddox> Lilacor: Daemon.log only has stuff pertaining to my wireless security, same as dmesg.
[12:54] <Foon> but it's got the pam patch installed, is there anything else I can do to secure it?
[12:54] <Shaddox> Lilacor: Is there an alternative to scaling my CPU without cpufreqd?
[12:54] <cholera> SonsOfAtreus: sorry attempt of play on words, I meant nothing by it
[12:54] <SonsOfAtreus> cholera, In America, if a white person would to have said that black is a sickness?   they would be called a racist.
[12:54] <Lilacor> tail -f /var/log/daemon.log and restart cpufreqd again
[12:54] <Lilacor> Shaddox: I don't know.
[12:54] <Lilacor> Shaddox: I've never even used the program you're talking about before
[12:54] <dinkle> hey how do i find my internal ip address so i can forward a port from my router.
[12:55] <Lilacor> Shaddox: I'm trying my best to give you a start on this problem
[12:55] <lockdown2> dinkle, ifconfig -a
[12:55] <Foon> anyone?
[12:55] <dinkle> thank you.
[12:55] <cholera> SonsOfAtreus: I was just playing off what you said about beinf black to use it, I am black you idiot
[12:55] <Lilacor> cholera: Hmmmm...someone pee in your cheerios this morning?
[12:55] <Shaddox> May 20 15:55:22 laptop gconfd (root-6806): GConf server is not in use, shutting down.
[12:55] <Shaddox> May 20 15:55:22 laptop gconfd (root-6806): Exiting
[12:56] <Shaddox> Lilacor: Does that have anything to do with it?
[12:56] <SonsOfAtreus> oh ok, I'm an idiot.  ;)
[12:56] <gnomefreak> cholera: and Lilacor please stop that and keep this support related
[12:56] <demortes> Hey all, long time no talk.
[12:56] <cholera> Lilacor: more like my fried chicken
[12:56] <Foon> oi, anyone?
[12:56] <Lilacor> Shaddox: doubtful
[12:56] <demortes> I got a question about postfix I'm hoping someone here can answer, cause yeah... no one in #postfix is helping me
[12:56] <Foon> could someone tell me what the odds are of a successful break-in into my system? people have been trying to, according to my auth.log file
[12:57] <demortes> I have it installed, but with ISPConfig. I also have ISPConfig set for external mailservers, but it's still delivering mail locally....
[12:57] <Shaddox> Lilacor: Installing gconf anyways, just to make sure.
[12:57] <Foon> I'm running ssh on port 22 on the server, which is redirected to by the router's port 22 (for external access), but I did add the pam patch.. :|
[12:57] <rockstar_> I need to install Ubuntu to a 160GB external hard drive that I can take to work, so I don't have to use SuSe anymore there.  I've scoured the net, but does anyone have a link to a more detailed installation process?
[12:58] <Lilacor> Shaddox: I would look very carefully at cpufreqd's project page and make sure you are configuring it correctly
[12:58] <Shaddox> Lilacor: Website?
[12:58] <Shaddox> !cpufreqd > Shaddox
[12:58] <Hadron> rockstar_: more detailed than what?
[12:58] <Foon> helloooooo?
[12:58] <dkkong> Can anyone guess as to why whenever I install my lexmark AIO in VMware workstation, XP recognizes it, then reboots and can never reconnect with it again?
[12:58] <demortes> Rockstar, just install it like normal, just make sure you're bios is set to boot off the USB HDD first
[12:58] <imbecile> would I ask a gdesklets question in here or #ubuntu-xgl?
[12:58] <usser> Foon: depends on the strenght of your ssh password brute force attacks have a good ratio of time/success
[12:58] <gnomefreak> imbecile: here
[12:58] <rockstar_> Hadron, more detailed than the first few Google results.  The important stuff gets breezed over.
[12:58] <demortes> Rockstar: That will allow GRUB to be installed to your USB drives MBR instead of your internal HDD
[12:58] <Hadron> demortes: and the bios at work. And hope the plug in is the first  external hdd ...
[12:59] <Foon> usser my password is pretty strong, and my root user is disabled
[12:59] <Flannel> Foon: One easy way to stop that is through stuff like blockhosts, that block people after suspicious activity, another is just changing your ssh port.
[12:59] <Lilacor> Shaddox: cpufreqd.sf.net
[12:59] <demortes> Or it has a boot menu by hitting f10
[12:59] <usser> Foon: i'd say u pretty safe
[12:59] <rockstar_> demortes, I've done that, but it just hangs at boot.
[12:59] <demortes> Off the CD or after installation?
[12:59] <usser> Foon: but then again u may want to use something like fail2ban to be on the safe side
[12:59] <Shaddox> Yeah, thats' what I found with Google. ^^
[12:59] <Shaddox> i'm going to get the cpufreqd source for 2.2.1 and see if maye that will work
[12:59] <Foon> Flannel, usser: the pam patch keeps saying (in the logs) that the IP is blocked, but they continue to attempt (according to the logs) even after that, getting "blocked" over and over again
[01:00] <rockstar_> demortes, After the installation, the boot to the USB drive
[01:00] <Foon> fail2ban?
[01:00] <Foon> and blockhosts?
[01:00] <imbecile> gnomefreak:  some of my gdesklets move around when i reboot.. any idea why? like 1 desklet will be in the middle of the screen unaligned
[01:00] <demortes> You're not installing 64 bit and the CPU at work is 32, are you?
[01:00] <usser> Foon: www.fail2ban.org/
[01:00] <gnomefreak> imbecile: no are you running compiz or beryl?
[01:00] <imbecile> gnomefreak:  yes
[01:00] <Flannel> Foon: theyre scripts that listen for certain IPs to keep beign stupid, and then theyll block them in the firewall
[01:00] <Lilacor> crap...no flash for x64 :(
[01:01] <usser> Foon: this is what i use, works right out of the box for ssh
[01:01] <rockstar_> demortes, The one at work COULD be 64-bit, but I'm wanting to install the 32-bit.  I haven't even brought in the system at work.  I can't get it to boot here at home yet.
[01:01] <gnomefreak> imbecile: it maybe caused by that try disabling it on next log in and see if it changes
[01:01] <ezE> can i break up the live cd to fit onto 2 cd-RWs? cd-RWs only hold 650MB instead of 700MB
[01:01] <usser> Lilacor: u can always use nspluginwrapper
[01:01] <demortes> Rockstar: Does it allow you to attempt to login then lockup, or locks up at the loading screen?
[01:01] <Foon> Flannel: err, I don't know how to set up a firewall in linux, currently, my firewall is my router
[01:01] <Lilacor> !nspluginwrapper
[01:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nspluginwrapper - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:01] <Lilacor> doh!
[01:02] <imbecile> gnomefreak:  thanks
[01:02] <mjr> ezE, that would be hard. There are both 650 and 700 MB CD-RWs as there are both types of CD-Rs as well
[01:02] <Flannel> Foon: Linux has a software firewall built in.  These programs just modify the irewall rules.
[01:02] <rockstar_> demortes, I can't even get to grub.
[01:02] <demortes> Any errors?
[01:02] <Foon> Flannel: oh okay...but why didn't they get blocked after the first "block" message?
[01:02] <rockstar_> So it can't be an initrd problem.
[01:03] <demortes> Such as non bootable device
[01:03] <rockstar_> demortes, just a flashing cursor.
[01:03] <Foon> it kept saying it was blocking, but the connection attempts kept coming
[01:03] <demortes> I'd attempt to reinstall the MBR
[01:03] <Malachi> How can I edit video tags "Title," "Author," etc
[01:03] <Flannel> Foon: PAM just blocks them from being able to login (even if they guess the right password), theyre still connecting and trying
[01:04] <Shaddox> Ugh, cpufreqd-2.2.1 won't configure, says C compiler can't create executables
[01:04] <Foon> Flannel: ohhh I see
[01:04] <rockstar_> demortes, Yea, I've tried the install a few times, and even did a chroot into the drive and  did `update-grub`
[01:04] <gnomefreak> Shaddox: install build-essential
[01:04] <demortes> are you certain that it's writing it to the right MBR?
[01:04] <Foon> but er, why does it even bother letting them continue to try after they've been blocked?
[01:04] <imbecile> hey guys, I'm looking for some inspiration... anyone want to send me screenshot of their cool looking desktop?
[01:04] <dennis1984> haha
[01:04] <CaptainMorgan> I just started my system to find that my workspace switcher is nothing but a think vertical line... and if I try to adjust preferences, the names of the workspaces are not listed... any ideas?
[01:05] <Shaddox> gnomefreak: Lots of downloads. Thanks! ^^
[01:05] <rockstar_> demortes, the only indication is because the internal drives MBR/grub aren't overwritten.
[01:05] <SonsOfAtreus> Malachi, Look in on the file:   mpgtx
[01:05] <gnomefreak> yw
[01:05] <Shaddox> gnomefreak: Just trying to do something SIMPLE, and scale my CPU frequency to not go above 50%, it keeps it from overheating.
[01:06] <CaptainMorgan> great - every window I open is now borderless... I did not enable or disable desktop effects... why am I experiencing this???
[01:06] <demortes> Hmm, I'm runing out of ideas, but I'm not a GURU, I've just installed it a crap ton of times
[01:06] <rockstar_> I tried the advanced install to install grub to (hd0) and (hd1) to no avail
[01:06] <Foon> Flannel?
[01:06] <overridex> is there a seperate channel for amd64 support?
[01:06] <SonsOfAtreus> Malachi, it's real easy the way I found that info........  I open Synaptic and used the search   :)
[01:06] <SlimeyPete> CaptainMorgan: your window decorator isn't loading. Not sure why, though :/
[01:06] <usser> overridex: afraid not
[01:06] <gnomefreak> overridex: no this channel is fine
[01:06] <demortes> try the dev name. Like /dev/usb0 or whatever
[01:06] <overridex> usser: ok dokey
[01:06] <vox754> overridex, no, amd64 is tricky, live with it
[01:06] <dennis1984> imbecile, http://digg.com/linux_unix/Running_OSX_and_Windows_XP_Vista_on_Ubuntu
[01:07] <CaptainMorgan> SlimeyPete, I just installed this yesterday after my system was experiencing window problems...
[01:07] <usser> vox754: amd64 is not tricky =)
[01:07] <Flannel> Foon: because PAM only deals with authentication, SSH does the rest.
[01:07] <overridex> well, i just install lirc-modules-src, it compiled fine, installed the deb, when i run depmod -a it segfaults - i removed the package and depmod -a still segfaults... :(
[01:07] <CaptainMorgan> thought the new install would fix this!
[01:07] <overridex> (on 64-bit feisty)
[01:07] <isabelabadone> will anyone be willing to help me with vmware?
[01:07] <Malachi> SonsofAtreus: Thanks. I'll try it out
[01:07] <usser> isabelabadone: ask the question
[01:08] <demortes> vmware on windows or ubuntu?
[01:08] <isabelabadone> i cannot figure out how to delete virtual machine vmware created
[01:08] <isabelabadone> ubuntu
[01:08] <CaptainMorgan> if I attempt to open desktop effects, it gives me an error: composite extension not available
[01:08] <CaptainMorgan> I reinstalled this system because I do NOT want beryl and compiz
[01:08] <bruenig> CaptainMorgan, #ubuntu-effects
[01:08] <rockstar_> demortes, I'll try that and see what happens.
[01:08] <usser> isabelabadone: one way is to delete them from harddrive
[01:08] <Foon> oh, er, so once they're blocked, even if they guess the right password after the 5th attempt, they won't be allowed to log in?
[01:08] <bruenig> CaptainMorgan, then don't attempt to open desktop effects
[01:08] <CaptainMorgan> bruenig, my windows are borderless!
[01:08] <usser> isabelabadone: is it vmware workstation?
[01:08] <Flannel> CaptainMorgan: Did you keep your homedir?
[01:09] <jjido> Hello, why do I get "Missing operating system" after installing Edgy then rEFIt on a MacBook? (NOTE: I can still boot OS X)
[01:09] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, keep?
[01:09] <isabelabadone> ok, i have deleted the virtual machine but the section on my HDD remains
[01:09] <pedro_> how do i compress a file in ubuntu?
[01:09] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, it's there.. of course after a reinstall
[01:09] <Flannel> CaptainMorgan: Installing around your home partition, so your homedir exists.
[01:09] <isabelabadone> usser: it is vmware server console
[01:09] <demortes> pedro gzip it
[01:09] <demortes> pedro: gzip <file>
[01:09] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, I simply performed a clean install
[01:09] <jjido> Is there a channel for Ubuntu on Mac btw?
[01:09] <usser> isabelabadone: sorry dont know about server, used workstation
[01:10] <xtknight> jjido, ubuntu on ppc is hardly any different.  ask a question ?
[01:10] <pedro_> is there a way to adjust the compression?
[01:10] <demortes> Not that I know of.
[01:10] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, bruenig this is really incapacitating me..
[01:10] <crdlb> CaptainMorgan: DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace
[01:10] <jjido> xtknight: Ubuntu does not boot
[01:10] <jjido> Hello, why do I get "Missing operating system" after installing Edgy then rEFIt on a MacBook? (NOTE: I can still boot OS X)
[01:10] <xtknight> jjido, sorry, ive seen that you haev already asked
[01:10] <demortes> my console window is being used right now, or I'd check MAN GZIP
[01:10] <xtknight> i'm not sure
[01:10] <CaptainMorgan> crdlb, where do I apply that? in a terminal ?
[01:10] <crdlb> CaptainMorgan: you can run that in any terminal
[01:10] <jjido> xtknight: no problem
[01:11] <CaptainMorgan> k
[01:11] <cactaur> Hello. For some reason, my swap is not being reported.
[01:11] <xtknight> cactaur, your swap file ?
[01:11] <isabelabadone> ok, great
[01:11] <kazol> Anyone here ever setup software RAID??
[01:11] <isabelabadone> thanks anyhow
[01:11] <Malachi> SonsofAtreus: I'm not sure how it works...
[01:11] <xtknight> kazol, sure have
[01:11] <W8TAH> hi folks -- what repos do i need to get the digikam plugins and the kipi plugins
[01:11] <cactaur> xtknight: well, in conky, it says there is no swap. When I try "swapon -s", No files are reported.
[01:12] <CaptainMorgan> crdlb, that is fantastic! how can I apply this so that I do not have to do this every time my system starts?
[01:12] <kazol> xtknight: I need desperate help with it.
[01:12] <ardya> cactaur: did you create a swap aprtition?
[01:12] <kazol> xtknight: I'm using the alternate boot CD.
[01:12] <xtknight> kazol, please elaborate
[01:12] <Shaddox> Crdlb: Do you know anything about cpu scaling?
[01:12] <xtknight> cactaur, conky? sounds familiar but i cant remember what that is
[01:12] <cactaur> ardya: yes I did. It worked until a few days ago.
[01:12] <crdlb> Shaddox: not much
[01:12] <Shaddox> Dan
[01:12] <cactaur> xtknight: It's a system monitoring program
[01:12] <Shaddox> Damn*
[01:12] <Shaddox> I am seriously overheating now...
[01:13] <xtknight> cactaur, ah okay so you don't have a swap enabled, basically?
[01:13] <vexati0n> why does my 2nd partition belong to root with no write permission to other users, and i can't change it ? :/
[01:13] <ardya> cactaur: confirm the existance of the partition with fdisk
[01:13] <bimberi> !info digikamplugins | W8TAH
[01:13] <ubotu> w8tah: Package digikamplugins does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[01:13] <xtknight> cactaur, does typing "sudo swapon /dev/sdx" fix the problem?
[01:13] <bimberi> argh, hang on
[01:13] <xtknight> kazol, what is your problem, exactly?
[01:13] <bimberi> !info digikamimageplugins | W8TAH
[01:14] <ubotu> w8tah: digikamimageplugins: image editor plugins for digikam and showfoto. In component main, is optional. Version 2:0.9.1-0ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 4244 kB, installed size 13092 kB
[01:14] <kazol> xtnight: So I 2x10GB That I need to partition for a webserver. I setup ~9.5GB and ~500MB primary RAID partitions on both HDs, setting the first as bootable. However when I click "Finish and write partition", I get the error msg: "Root FS not defined."
[01:14] <cactaur> xtknight: oh, yeah, thanks
[01:14] <bimberi> !info kipi-plugins | W8TAH
[01:14] <Furbie> hello
[01:14] <xtknight> kazol, so did you mounta partition as /?

[01:14] <CaptainMorgan> crdlb, that is fantastic! Thank you, - how can I apply this so that I do not have to do this every time my system starts?
[01:14] <kazol> xtknight: How is that possible?
[01:14] <W8TAH> bimberi, i have to use apt-get rather than synaptic?
[01:14] <Furbie> I have a question about starting Samba on startup
[01:15] <xtknight> kazol, are you familiar with partitioning linux/have you installed linux before?
[01:15] <bimberi> W8TAH: no, they should be available in Synaptic
[01:15] <cactaur> xtknight: I'm also looking for a way to identify the UUID of the swap. I tried "vol_id" and it didn't give me one.
[01:15] <W8TAH> ok
[01:15] <W8TAH> thanks
[01:15] <vox754> jjido, that error appears somewhat randomly after installing operating systems. It may be due to a bad motherboard or something messed up with the BIOS and hard drives specifications.
[01:15] <bimberi> W8TAH: yw
[01:15] <xtknight> cactaur,  try "blkid"
[01:15] <crdlb> CaptainMorgan: you could try just: gnome-session-save      with nothing else open
[01:15] <SonsOfAtreus> Malachi, see if it opens a gui when you enter mpgtx in a terminal
[01:15] <cactaur> xtknight: that didn't work either
[01:15] <xtknight> cactaur, ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid
[01:15] <SonsOfAtreus> Malachi, or maybe if it has a link in the menu section
[01:15] <Malachi> SonsOfAtreus: It doesn't. It's cln based.
[01:15] <jazz_> Hi there newbie
[01:16] <mbb> is there an archive site for planet.ubuntu? lots of good stuff there, goes away too fast some weeks...
[01:16] <SonsOfAtreus> Malachi, has it got a man page?
[01:16] <pedro_> when you compress a file, is it possible to adjust the level of compression?
[01:16] <Malachi> Yeah
[01:16] <jazz_> new to ubuntu
[01:16] <PriceChild> mbb, click on the links on the right for links to blogs which archive it
[01:16] <cactaur> xtknight: the only ones I get are hda4 and hda2, my linux partitions, not my swap.
[01:16] <bimberi> !hi | jazz_
[01:16] <ubotu> jazz_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:16] <Furbie> which newbie are you refeorring to?
[01:16] <omri> is there something like KNewsTicker for gnome?
[01:16] <xtknight> cactaur, do you see your swap partition in "sudo fdisk -l" as "Linux Swap"?
[01:16] <ardya> cactaur: confirm the existance of the partition with fdisk
[01:16] <Shaddox> crdlb: Kubuntu's power configuration thing on the system tray in my KDE had cpu scaling support, how could I install that?
[01:17] <xtknight> you may need to reboot to refresh blkid cache
[01:17] <khin> hi, if i have one version of gcc installed with synaptic and then install another version, will it cause problems
[01:17] <cactaur> xtknight and ardya: Yes it is reported as Linux swap.
[01:17] <xtknight> khin, nope none at all
[01:17] <Malachi> SonsOfAtreus: All id3 capabilities are for mp3 ;( And it's pretty much for splitting/joining MPGs
[01:17] <omri> I want a RSS marquee on my gnome toolbars
[01:17] <zamarax> q: I am using this tutorial to install the ati driver http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321766 and when I get to this part 'sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv' I get the error Warning: Could not find configuration file
[01:17] <zamarax> Please copy configuration file template to /etc/X11, any idea's?
[01:17] <xtknight> khin, if you mean gcc 4.0 and gcc 3.4 from synaptic
[01:17] <SonsOfAtreus> Malachi, you want what?  dvd? or something else?
[01:17] <xtknight> khin, if you mean you have gcc 4.0 installed from synaptic and a newer compiled-from-source gcc then yes it will cause problems
[01:17] <xtknight> cactaur, reboot to refresh the UUID cahce
[01:17] <xtknight> cache*
[01:18] <cactaur> ok
[01:18] <KillHartman> ubuntu noobie here needs help :)
[01:18] <ardya> why.
[01:18] <Malachi> SonsOfAtrues: Have a movie file on hand?
[01:18] <xtknight> !ask | KillHartman
[01:18] <ubotu> KillHartman: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:18] <ardya> its not windows for cripes sake.
[01:18] <bimberi> ProfessorTom: just ask away.  If someone knows, they'll answer
[01:18] <xtknight> ardya, why?  seems like you could suggest an alternative
[01:18] <SonsOfAtreus> malachi, on a dvd disc
[01:18] <ardya> swapon -a
[01:18] <ardya> voila.
[01:18] <xtknight> that's not going to help him find the UUID of his swap partition
[01:18] <KillHartman> well i was doing updates after i jsut installed ubuntu for the first time my comp froze and now it wont let me pull up the update manager
[01:18] <ardya> *shrug*
[01:18] <KillHartman> let me retrieve the error
[01:18] <ProfessorTom> thank you bimberi
[01:18] <Malachi> SonsOfAtreus: Nope. I'll just show you. Give me a sec
[01:19] <ardya> he doesnt need the uuid.
[01:19] <ProfessorTom> How can I get Samba to run on startup?
[01:19] <KillHartman> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[01:19] <Shaddox> KillHartman: Do what it says.
[01:19] <zamarax> q: I am using this tutorial to install the ati driver http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321766 and when I get to this part 'sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv' I get the error Warning: Could not find configuration file
[01:19] <zamarax> Please copy configuration file template to /etc/X11, any idea's?
[01:19] <Shaddox> KillHartman: Then re-enter the sudo apt-get.
[01:19] <xtknight> KillHartman, you need to type it as "sudo dpkg --configure -a" actually
[01:19] <bimberi> ProfessorTom: if you've installed the Ubuntu package for Samba it should be set to run on startup
[01:19] <KillHartman> lol like i said im a noobie so i have no idea what im doing
[01:19] <specialbuddy> does anyone here know how cedega works?
[01:20] <xtknight> KillHartman, do you know about the terminal?
[01:20] <kazol> xtknight: Sorry, I'm back. How is it possible to set the path when the fs type is RAID?
[01:20] <Malachi> SonsOfAtreus: http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/1642/screenshotplumiferostraym8.png
[01:20] <ProfessorTom> bimberi: is there a way to check that?
[01:20] <jjido> vox754: thanks I will look into that
[01:20] <KillHartman> ive pulled it up yes
[01:20] <Malachi> SonsOfAtreus: I want to edit that info
[01:20] <xtknight> kazol, i'm really confused as to what stage you're at now
[01:20] <kazol> xtnight: Whenever I select RAID, the options disappear.
[01:20] <xtknight> KillHartman, and you have typed "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[01:20] <specialbuddy> does anyone here know how cedega works?
[01:20] <Saeljfkklhen> I'm having some issues with "proftpd", I'm using gproftpd to configure it, seems to work well enough. The computer right next to it (same intranet) can do everything fine. However none of my friends seem able to upload/download. they can connect, ls and all that, but any attempts at uploading ends with an empty file uploaded and them getting an error like "unable to build data connection" or just "connection closed by re
[01:20] <KillHartman> no i didnt know what to type
[01:21] <xtknight> kazol, okay.  i believe you need to go thru the RAID setup as the top.  you designate the File System as "RAID".  then there appears at the top a RAID configuration utility.  after that it should be obvious
[01:21] <KillHartman> sudo dpkg --configure -a just like that?
[01:21] <Dark_Avenger> umm
[01:21] <xtknight> KillHartman, yes
[01:21] <Shaddox> Hi everyone. I need help with my cpufreqd, particularly that I can't seem to start it. Can someone help me get it to start?
[01:21] <__mikem> okay, I managed to get through the duel booting process, but now when ever I try to startx in linux my screen becomes a pattern of lines and just hangs, what shoudl I do?
[01:21] <KillHartman> k gimme a sec
[01:21] <Shaddox> When I install CPUFreqD, it gives me this error: "No cpufreq interface found, not starting cpufreqd."
[01:21] <cactaur> xtknight: nope, still no UUID.
[01:21] <mbb> PriceChild: do you mean click for the individual blogs? I'm hoping to find an archive of the whole planet. 1. for when I'm away for a few days, and 2. when I fail to bookmark something neat.
[01:21] <kazol> xtnight: I setup the RAID partitions, but it never prompted me for the path.
[01:21] <mjr> specialbuddy, basically the same as Wine, from whence it was forked a long time ago; http://www.winehq.org/site/about
[01:21] <PriceChild> mbb, won't find that afaik sorry
[01:21] <xtknight> cactaur, hrmm that's odd.  well you don't /need/ a UUID for swap   i'm not sure why it's not appearing, thouhg
[01:22] <xtknight> kazol, i understand.  you set FS to raid, that is all, right?
[01:22] <bimberi> ProfessorTom: there will be a startup script in /etc/init.d and links to it in the 'rc' directories (eg. /etc/init.d/rc2.d)
[01:22] <specialbuddy> mjr, do you have to keep purchasing the subsription to use it?
[01:22] <ardya> mkswap the device
[01:22] <Beforewisdom> I saw a number of threads on the Ubuntu forums complaining about a LOT of bugs in Feisty.  That was a few weeks ago, is it safe to upgrade from 6.10 now?
[01:22] <vox754> jjido, oh, since you left... I'll tell you that usual solutions include reconnecting all cables and maybe resetting/upgrading the BIOS. It may also indicate a bad motherboard or bad hard drive.
[01:22] <ardya> then swapon it
[01:22] <ProfessorTom> yes
[01:22] <__mikem> PriceChild, I managed to get my laptop duelbooted, but when ever I try to run X, my screen becomes a pattern of lines and I have to reboot
[01:22] <pedro_> is it normal for a file the size of 790MB be compressed to only 758MB?? that doesnt seem worthwhile...
[01:22] <xtknight> kazol, after you set the File systems to RAID, there is a new menu item that appears in the master partitioner called RAID configuratino or something.  in there you can mount a RAID as /
[01:22] <KillHartman> ok its gonig through some process
[01:22] <xtknight> pedro_, it depends totally on the content of the file
[01:22] <usser> Saeljfkklhen: u most likely didnt setup passive ftp properly
[01:22] <pedro_> ah
[01:22] <bimberi> ProfessorTom: if the command 'ls /etc/rc*.d/*samba*' returns some results then it should be set up OK
[01:22] <ProfessorTom> bimberi: is there something I can grep samba?
[01:23] <cactaur> ardya: Thanks, that gave me a UUID.
[01:23] <ProfessorTom> ah
[01:23] <kazol> xtnight: How do I access that menu? Do I select the partition and hit enter?
[01:23] <mjr> specialbuddy, oh, that. No, you can keep using your downloaded versions, but you'll need a subscription to upgrade.
[01:23] <Saeljfkklhen> I didn't? I'm a newbie when it comes to linux...Any idea what I missed//How to fix it?
[01:23] <ProfessorTom> bimberi: thank you
[01:23] <xtknight> kazol, no.  at the top of the dialog, not selecting any partitions.
[01:23] <bimberi> ProfessorTom: yw :)
[01:23] <vox754> pedro_, text files get compressed a lot, but you can't quite recompress and mp3 since it is already compressed from wav, for instance.
[01:23] <overridex> hmm... i uninstalled linux-restrict-modules-generic-blah-blah and reinstalled it, that seems to have fixed depmod
[01:23] <xtknight> kazol, it should say RAID configuration or something, it's way at the top
[01:23] <KillHartman> ok process is dun and it looks like its waiting for a new command
[01:23] <kazol> xtknight: I'll check
[01:23] <KillHartman> done*
[01:23] <xtknight> kazol, that is AFTER you set the filesystems as RAID
[01:24] <KillHartman> is the problem fixed?
[01:24] <xtknight> KillHartman, yea it should be
[01:24] <specialbuddy> mjr, is the upgrade really necessary?
[01:24] <KillHartman> k so should i go up and clock install updates again?
[01:24] <KillHartman> click*
[01:24] <xtknight> KillHartman, yea
[01:25] <SonsOfAtreus> Malachi, I would guess there should be a file already loaded that would do something like a key combo to unlock that page
[01:25] <KillHartman> there we go thanks xtknight
[01:25] <pedro_> is there a way to split a file in two, but be able to "glue" it back together seamlessly?
[01:25] <KillHartman> here in a few i may need help with my sounds not working
[01:25] <Beforewisdom> I saw a number of threads on the Ubuntu forums complaining about a LOT of bugs in Feisty.  That was a few weeks ago, is it safe to upgrade from 6.10 now?
[01:25] <mjr> specialbuddy, depends of course on if the upgrades fix something you want
[01:25] <kazol> xtknight: It worked! However it is now prompting me for the number of active devices. I simply have 2 HDs, should I select 2?
[01:25] <xtknight> KillHartman, that's cool, ask as many questions as you'd like
[01:25] <specialbuddy> yeah
[01:25] <specialbuddy> I don't play a lot of games
[01:26] <specialbuddy> that are really new
[01:26] <xtknight> kazol, umm i don't remember that step.  sorry
[01:26] <bimberi> pedro_: 'split'  then  'cat'
[01:26] <__mikem> For crying out loud, I need to know why X causes my screen to get all screwed up and how to fix it
[01:27] <Eidolos_> I just set up a Feisty system and I added rootpw to /etc/sudoers like I did before -- but they changed it so the root password is no longer the empty string.. anyone happen to know what the default is?
[01:27] <pedro_> bimberi: i will google how to use that, thanks!
[01:27] <kazol> xtknight: what are active and spare partitions?
[01:27] <r33ddl3r> hello
[01:27] <xtknight> kazol, that sounds like a RAID5 thing perhaps
[01:27] <bimberi> pedro_: np :)   you can always 'man split' btw
[01:27] <xtknight> kazol, i dont know.  i did RAID0.  which one are you doing?
[01:27] <pedro_> oh yeah
[01:27] <ardya> Eidolos_: there isnt a default root passwd.
[01:27] <ardya> never was.
[01:28] <vox754> bimberi, does that split non-text files???
[01:28] <__mikem> kazol, do you have any idea why my laptop crashes every time I use X
[01:28] <bimberi> vox754: i've used it successfully with binary files
[01:28] <Eidolos_> I can no longer sudo after adding rootpw to my /etc/sudoers.. any ideas? I've tried my account's password (obviously), and some other things
[01:28] <latinoguy> help activatiating laptop mode
[01:28] <Eidolos_> I can reinstall everything but that's a big pain :)
[01:28] <xtknight> vox754, bimberi i have also used 'cat' with binary files
[01:28] <kazol> __mikem: Check your video card config.
[01:28] <latinoguy> paste
[01:28] <KillHartman> anyone have any really good sites for learning ubuntu, terminolgy, simple tasks ect?
[01:29] <kazol> xtknight: I'm trying to partition RAID-1.
[01:29] <__mikem> kazol, what command would I use to do that?
[01:29] <bimberi> xtknight: yep, me too, shortly after the 'split'  funnily enough :)
[01:29] <latinoguy> laptop mode help
[01:29] <ardya> KillHartman: besides the forum/wiki/google?
[01:29] <vox754> xtknight, bimberi well, that is crazy!
[01:29] <r33ddl3r> anyone has an idea why all of a sudden my dvd burner is only partially recognized? I can mount the media and browse it, but none of the dvd burning apps I used to use pick it up (k3b, xcdroast) ??

[01:29] <xtknight> kazol, hmm i'm not sure what 'active' or 'spares' are then, in your case.
[01:30] <demortes> neat
[01:30] <latinoguy> laptopmode help please
[01:30] <bimberi> vox754: _very_ useful when you have a file that's just a bit big for a floppy disk
[01:30] <kazol> __mikem: Beyond that I probably cannot help you since I'm a Linux newbie. What video crd do you have?
[01:31] <r33ddl3r> bimberi, what is floppy disk? I thought those disappeared at the turn of the century...
[01:31] <KillHartman> lol
[01:31] <vox754> bimberi, and I assume such utility has been around since the 70's... and now I finally know.
[01:31] <demortes> r33ddl3r: I was gonna ask the same thing, but kept my mouth shut
[01:31] <isabela> hello, will someone kindly walk me through partitioning my hard drive? I'm having issues with gparted
[01:31] <bimberi> r33ddl3r: I'm old OK :P
[01:31] <kazol> r33ddl3r: I still use them. I have 4 full cases of 100 each on my desk.
[01:31] <r33ddl3r> bimberi, invest $15 into a 2G flash drive
[01:31] <Eidolos> so any advice short of me reloading the entire OS again?
[01:31] <r33ddl3r> hah.. no comments then
[01:31] <KillHartman> i stopped using floppies when windows tried to get me to format them everytime i popped one in
[01:32] <latinoguy> need help with laptopmode
[01:32] <bimberi> r33ddl3r: USB?  :P
[01:32] <isabela> can someone help me partition my HDD?
[01:32] <r33ddl3r> bimberi, yes... and get one fast.. before USB gets outdated, too :)
[01:32] <r33ddl3r> isabela, "man fdisk"
[01:32] <demortes> isabela I'd just do a 1gb swap, the rest for ubuntu
[01:33] <kazol> I only use floppies for config file backups, drivers, and tax returns.
[01:33] <isabela> demortes: i don't know what that means
[01:33] <r33ddl3r> demortes, swap == 1.5 x RAM size
[01:33] <demortes> The only reason I own a floppy drive is because windows xp needs a sata driver to install onto my sata HDD...
[01:33] <demortes> r33ddl3r: Then I messed up my partitions on Wubi :P
[01:33] <KillHartman> i have one in my comp right now but it isnt hooked up
[01:34] <SonsOfAtreus> isabela, they were trying to be funny,  a great program for partitioning to load is gparted
[01:34] <Eidolos> sigh, guess I'll wait a few more hours reloading Feisty again, thanks anyway
[01:34] <PSyK0GiRl> hi lll
[01:34] <demortes> She stated she was having problems with gparted
[01:34] <r33ddl3r> few more hours? r u on x486?
[01:34] <Eidolos> it's a 500mhz laptop
[01:34] <demortes> Ouch
[01:34] <r33ddl3r> anyone has an idea why all of a sudden my dvd burner is only partially recognized? I can mount the media and browse it, but none of the dvd burning apps I used to use pick it up (k3b, xcdroast) ??
[01:34] <kazol> Anyone know the difference between active and spare partitions?
[01:35] <latinoguy> help with laptop mode
[01:35] <r33ddl3r> kaziol: elaborate
[01:35] <daniel-eads> Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with my touchpad after installing a new keypad on a Dell Latitude C610...  I'm running Dapper on this laptop (dual booted into XP right now since the mouse won't work in ubuntu) but am still having the same problem on the Feisty Live CD
[01:35] <KillHartman> im running a heap myself which is why i wanted to switch to ubuntu
[01:35] <random-baby> do u mean the buttons on the touchpad?
[01:35] <KillHartman> hopefully it runs smoother and better than windows zp did
[01:35] <xtknight> a heap?  what do you mean?
[01:35] <daniel-eads> Or at least I think it's the touchpad.... the cursor "drifts" into the bottom left corner of the screen and there's nothing touching the touchpad OR eraser cursor
[01:35] <SonsOfAtreus> demortes, Iv'e got a baseball game going on in here, I can't keep track of every post.   come on......
[01:36] <xtknight> oh
[01:36] <xtknight> slow pc?
[01:36] <demortes> Sons, understood
[01:36] <KillHartman> its basically a computer thrown together with crappy parts, amd duron 1.0 processor 512 mb ram
[01:36] <KillHartman> i just bought a new video card the other day
[01:36] <xtknight> good candidate for Xfce though
[01:36] <xtknight> or blackbox ;)
[01:36] <pi-meson> Is there a way to add a second IP address to an interface using the GUI under 7.04 ?
[01:36] <xtknight> ahh second ip like eth0:0 eth0:1?
[01:36] <r33ddl3r> or openbox
[01:36] <demortes> Isn't the point of a swap partition the same as Virtual Memory on windows?
[01:37] <r33ddl3r> xtknight, it is called virtual IP
[01:37] <xtknight> demortes, swap file more accurately
[01:37] <ardya> yes.
[01:37] <demortes> is there a dif between swap file and swap partition?
[01:37] <xtknight> virtual memory is what maps address X to swap or physical, so the memory on your HD is called a swap or page file
[01:37] <KillHartman> lol i feel like a retard at harvard in here
[01:37] <ardya> yes.
[01:37] <xtknight> demortes, nope
[01:37] <demortes> kill, I know the feelin
[01:37] <random-baby> how frequently is swap used?
[01:37] <ardya> a swap aprtition reads/writes faster than to a file on a filesystem.
[01:37] <daniel-eads> random-baby, it's not the buttons, just the tracking of the cursor itself...  works fine in XP though
[01:37] <latinoguy> how to edit this file /etc/default/acpi-support
[01:37] <latinoguy> /etc/default/acpi-support
[01:38] <r33ddl3r> random-baby, whenever you run out of physical memory
[01:38] <pi-meson> xtknight: yea, exactly; I've edited the /etc/network/interfaces appropriately, but it doesn't come up on reboot, and while "ifup eth0:1" says "interface already configured" i don't see it when I run ifconfig
[01:38] <random-baby> o ok
[01:38] <demortes> OK, so with a gig of RAM, and few games supported on Ubuntu/Wine, I don't need a 1.5gb swap
[01:38] <xtknight> random-baby, sometimes more than that.  it depends on your "vm.swappiness" value.  that way you can adjust how much is used for cache and stuff
[01:38] <ardya> hd space is sheap, a gig of swap doesnt hurt to have.
[01:38] <nuu> pi-meson: try ifconfig eth0:1 up
[01:38] <random-baby> i have  1Gig real memory :)
[01:38] <xtknight> i have 8 gigs just for the heck of it
[01:38] <xtknight> it's not like im low on HD :P
[01:38] <demortes> I hate you xtknight
[01:39] <KillHartman> so ive herd torrenting is a bit safer on oinux as well, legal torrenting of course ;)
[01:39] <xtknight> no 8 gig of swap
[01:39] <demortes> oh
[01:39] <demortes> swap
[01:39] <xtknight> lol
[01:39] <r33ddl3r> try putting swap on a different Hd as well
[01:39] <demortes> I found a MB that supports 64GB of RAM
[01:39] <random-baby> safer?
[01:39] <xtknight> pi-meson, hrmm i dont have much experience mressing with eth0:0 and eth0:1 although i think i mistakenly made them.  im pretty sure there's a way in one of the network applets
[01:39] <r33ddl3r> random-baby, wont impact your system hd i/o while swapping
[01:39] <ardya> dem?
[01:39] <demortes> ?
[01:40] <r33ddl3r> anyone has an idea why all of a sudden my dvd burner is only partially recognized? I can mount the media and browse it, but none of the dvd burning apps I used to use pick it up (k3b, xcdroast) ??
[01:40] <demortes> I miss something?
[01:40] <pi-meson> nuu: I get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address"
[01:40] <daniel-eads> Any ideas on the cursor?  I tried dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg but that didn't fix it
[01:40] <xtknight> daniel-eads, it's just randomly going all over the place?
[01:40] <xtknight> daniel-eads, touchpad?
[01:41] <random-baby> in 7.04 is there more than one program for managing wireless connection? (by default)
[01:41] <linxeh> daniel-eads: what graphics card ?
[01:41] <daniel-eads> it always drags into the bottom left corner
[01:41] <nuu> pi-meson: try sudo ifconfig eth0:1 up
[01:41] <daniel-eads> ATI something.... lemmie check
[01:41] <xtknight> daniel-eads, touchpad?
[01:41] <daniel-eads> yes, latitude C610 laptop
[01:42] <xtknight> daniel-eads, sounds more like a HW problem..is it fine in windows (have you tried)?
[01:42] <daniel-eads> i'm in windows now, works fine
[01:42] <pi-meson> nuu: I was doing that from a root prompt
[01:42] <random-baby> when i go to system>admin>network. i cant enable wpa or wpa2 for wireless
[01:42] <nuu> pi-meson: try assigning it an ip then
[01:42] <linxeh> daniel-eads: on my laptop with a ATI Rage Pro chipset I used to have the same problem unless I used 16bit colour
[01:42] <nuu> ie ifconfig eth0:1 <ip> up
[01:42] <random-baby> but there used to be something in the top right off my screen that could make it work
[01:42] <xtknight> random-baby, oh, you're speaking of network-manager perhaps
[01:42] <random-baby> perhaps ;)
[01:42] <linxeh> well, I think I did - what was the proiblem again ? :)
[01:43] <daniel-eads> graphics is ati raedon mobility
[01:43] <linxeh> oh :o
[01:43] <random-baby> im not familiar with the names of all these progs.applets
[01:43] <random-baby> there are so many!
[01:44] <daniel-eads> hmm....  it was working fine until i put in a new keyboard
[01:44] <random-baby> i have a wireless connection now, but im not sure how its working
[01:44] <random-baby> in system>admin>network its disabled
[01:45] <kazol> xtknight: I get the same error msg. Tried both 2 active 0 spare, and 1 active 1 spare.
[01:45] <pi-meson> see, this is really frustrating, I'm sure I have a correct /etc/network/interfaces
[01:46] <isabela> how do i know if i have an error on my hard disk?
[01:46] <isabela> gparted says i have an error on sda1
[01:46] <nuu> try using fsck
[01:47] <isabela> fsck?
[01:47] <nuu> yes, fsck
[01:47] <nuu> fsck /dev/sda1
[01:47] <khin> hey if i have more than one gcc on my system & want to specify the non-default one, whaddo i do
[01:47] <ardya> export CC=/path/to/alternate/gcc
[01:47] <isabela> nuu: he following operation could not be applied to disk:
[01:47] <isabela> Resize /dev/sda1 from 35.82 GiB to 20.20 GiB
[01:47] <isabela> See the details for more information
[01:47] <khin> ok
[01:48] <isabela> oops
[01:48] <isabela> never mind that
[01:48] <ProfessorTom> hello
[01:48] <daniel-eads> linxeh: thank you, i'll definitely check that and check back here in a few minutes
[01:48] <ProfessorTom> I'm back again
[01:48] <isabela> nuu: /dev/sda1 is mounted.
[01:48] <isabela> WARNING!!!  Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
[01:48] <isabela> SEVERE filesystem damage.
[01:48] <isabela> Do you really want to continue (y/n)? cancelled!
[01:48] <ProfessorTom> so I decided to try and get DVDs working on Dapper Drake
[01:49] <ProfessorTom> I ran this command:
[01:49] <ProfessorTom> sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
[01:49] <ProfessorTom> and everything installed
[01:49] <nuu> welp, umount it first if possible. or, if you can't umount it (maybe it's the root filesystem), run fsck from a boot cd like the ubuntu install cd, or knoppix, or whatever
[01:49] <ProfessorTom> yet Totem is still being a pain in the ass
[01:49] <ProfessorTom> any ideas?
[01:49] <isabela> nuu: i am running it from a boot cd
[01:49] <nuu> then just umount it
[01:49] <isabela> ok, how do i do that?
[01:50] <nuu> umount /dev/sda1
[01:51] <kazol> I need help setting up software RAID-1.
[01:51] <isabela> nuu: it said clean... does that mean i don't have any errors?
[01:51] <nuu> yeah, apparently there are no errors on the filesystem
[01:51] <nuu> there could still be problems with the physical disk, or the disk controller on the motherboard
[01:52] <nuu> but at least you can rule out filesystem corruption
[01:52] <utnubuk> hmm has anybody had problems getting their sound to work?
[01:52] <isabela> gparted gave me the error:
[01:52] <neversfelde> utnubuk: in Feisty?
[01:52] <isabela> well, i don't have the error anymore
[01:52] <isabela> oh well
[01:52] <utnubuk> neversfelde: nope, edgy.
[01:53] <neversfelde> utnubuk: k, herad about a lot of problems in feisty
[01:53] <utnubuk> neversfelde: i reinstalled edgy and my sound stopped working... but it seems to pick up my soundcard :/
[01:53] <sid> How can I have a command execute when I login to gnome?
[01:54] <ProfessorTom> any ideas for getting DVDs to work in Dapper Drake?
[01:54] <Flannel> !startup | sid
[01:54] <ubotu> sid: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup
[01:54] <neversfelde> utnubuk: strange, everything is tuned up in kmix or similar in gnome?
[01:54] <sid> thanks Flannel
[01:54] <Eidolos> ok I have the Feisty livecd up, can I actually edit files on the hard drive?
[01:54] <FP> Notte a Tutti
[01:55] <Flannel> Eidolos: yeah, you have to mount your disks, then you can edit files on them
[01:55] <ezE> i have ubuntu desktop version image which is 700MB, but I only have 2 650 MB cd-RWs....what do i do?
[01:55] <neversfelde> Eidolos: sure, mount it and tha ther should not be a problem
[01:55] <seanj> hi peple
[01:55] <Eidolos> how do I do that exactly? :)
[01:55] <Flannel> ezE: Download the minimal CD, or the server CD
[01:56] <dkkong> Is there any way I can use my Lexmark's Scanner Feature under Linux? I see it listed under lsusb, but nothing will work with it software wise.
[01:56] <linxeh> ezE: get the minimal cd and install off the network imo
[01:56] <ezE> thanx will do
[01:56] <Flannel> !install | ezE
[01:56] <ubotu> ezE: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[01:56] <pi-meson> okay, I think my stupid gnome-network-manager is screwing with me here -- is there any way to turn it off?
[01:56] <Flannel> ezE: those are some other methods, (using other sorts of media, etc); you might find them useful
[01:56] <ezE> gracias
[01:57] <neversfelde> Eidolos: sudo mount /dev/something /mnt and than "sudo nano /mnt/fileyouwant"
[01:58] <hammedhaaret> Hi........ ok I've only just used ubuntu a little month or so... but. when I've downloaded a program. lets say songbird just to make it clear... i need to compile it right.. before i can install.  how do i do that? and how do i install it following
[01:58] <Eidolos> cool, thanks neversfelde! I was able to edit /etc/sudoers that way, now I shouldn't have to reinstall everything
[01:58] <Eidolos> it was /dev/hda1 :)
[01:58] <linxeh> hammedhaaret: it depends. you might be able to get the program in binary form, or get a proper ubuntu package (it might even be in the universe repository)
[01:58] <neversfelde> Eidolos: had the same problem yesterday
[01:58] <neversfelde> :)
[01:59] <Pelo> sigh ........
[01:59] <Flannel> Eidolos: no, actually, you don't.  Just reboot and select the "recovery console" at the grub menu.  neversfelde, you too.
[01:59] <linxeh> Pelo: ?
[01:59] <kazol> Anyone here have experience with software RAID-1?
[01:59] <Eidolos> ah
[01:59] <Pelo> linxeh, don't bother,  no one ever does,
[01:59] <linxeh> kazol: yes, in a previous life. It was painful.
[01:59] <hammedhaaret> Linxeh: riight.. a proper package. where do i get those? .... not just the add/remove apps menu ?!? and the universe repository?!?
[01:59] <neversfelde> Flannel: should work with a live cd also?
[02:00] <linxeh> Pelo: well, what do you need help with ?
[02:00] <neversfelde> Flannel: ok, better way to use recovery mode
[02:00] <linxeh> hammedhaaret: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=songbird+ubuntu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[02:00] <Luxurious> Is this sentence on the intrewebs?
[02:00] <linxeh> hammedhaaret: you two can find the answers.... with google!!!
[02:00] <linxeh> err
[02:00] <ohadz> how do i remove this forcefully from my apt -- E: The package mfc665cwcupswrapper needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[02:00] <linxeh> "you too" even
[02:00] <Pelo> linxeh, I have a gdesklet , I removed all the skinning and there is still a tin black border around the frame and I have no idea how to get rid of it,  I 'm not 1337 enough to figure out where in the code I can do it
[02:01] <kazol> linxeh: How did you manage to set a root FS?
[02:01] <Flannel> neversfelde: yeah, it works fine with liveCD, but then you have to find a CD, boot off the CD, mount, yadda yadda.
[02:01] <DocTrax> hi
[02:01] <hammedhaaret> Linxeh: thx (: but you guys is way faster with the right answers
[02:01] <linxeh> kazol: yikes, this was back in 1999/2000 using the highpoint cards - I've only done it with hardware scsi recently
[02:01] <neversfelde> Flannel: sure, I thought he had booted it yet
[02:02] <linxeh> hammedhaaret: oh come on - that link I pasted (search for "songbird ubuntu") has links with step by step instructions on the 1st and 2nd links
[02:02] <Pelo> hammedhaaret,  we donT' always have the answer
[02:02] <Flannel> neversfelde: yeah, he has.  I was just telling him for the future, which is why I pinged youtoo
[02:02] <linxeh> hammedhaaret: it really isn't that hard to help yourself. really.
[02:02] <DocTrax> can someone telle me something about rights management of ubuntu?
[02:02] <Pelo> DocTrax,  what do you need to know
[02:03] <DocTrax> i heard that ubuntu has not a default root password after hd install, correct?
[02:03] <i-n-f> yup
[02:03] <ardya> the root acct is disabled for logins, yes
[02:03] <Flannel> ohadz: Where did you find that package?  Since, I don't know of it.  do.. `apt-cache policy mfc665cwcupswrapper` what does it say?
[02:03] <DocTrax> isnt that insecure?
[02:03] <Broccoly_> how can i change scrolling in gnome from 3 lines at a time to 1 line?
[02:03] <neversfelde> Flannel: k, was my first support in the english chan :) going back to german support now
[02:03] <Flannel> DocTrax: no.  The root account is disabled, no one can login with it
[02:03] <neversfelde> gn8 everyone
[02:04] <dkkong> Is there any way I can use my Lexmark's Scanner Feature under Linux? I see it listed under lsusb, but nothing will work with it software wise.
[02:04] <ardya> DocTrax: the root acct is disabled for logins, yes, thats not the same as no passwd.
[02:04] <DocTrax> and how to do the administration?
[02:04] <Pelo> DocTrax, ubuntu doesn'T use  root, it uses sudo , since ubuntu is intended as a new linux user distro  it doesn'T user root for security reasons but it lets you run root command with sudo
[02:04] <linxeh> Pelo: :o that's beyond me I'm afraid - tried the mailing list :o
[02:04] <DocTrax> but sudo is insecure
[02:04] <ohadz> Flannel, mfc665cwcupswrapper:  Installed: 1.0.0-6  Candidate: 1.0.0-6  Version table: *** 1.0.0-6 0        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
[02:05] <Flannel> Pelo: Ubuntu is hardly designed as a "new linux user distro".  It's friendlyness is a biproduct
[02:05] <Pelo> Broccoly_,  probably in gconf-editor
[02:05] <linxeh> DocTrax: how on earth is sudo insecure
[02:05] <ardya> DocTrax: umm.
[02:05] <DocTrax> it could make almost every accout a supoeruser account
[02:05] <Pelo> Flannel, fine have it your own way
[02:05] <vorbote> DocTrax: In fact root is a liability. Professional sysadmins have been using sudo for almost 20 years now, for security reasons
[02:05] <i-n-f> how do i make xchat stop autojoining this channel?
[02:05] <linxeh> DocTrax: only if you grant those permissions to every user account
[02:05] <hammedhaaret> Linxeh: no.. i try to most times. thx again
[02:05] <Flannel> ohadz: hmm.  Where did you find that file?  Whereever you did, you'l have to find it again.  It's not the repositories
[02:06] <vorbote> DocTrax: May remote exploits work because there is a root account with an easy password to crack.
[02:06] <DocTrax> so i need to make a alias account for root
[02:06] <ardya> eh?
[02:06] <vorbote> DocTrax: No.
[02:06] <mobutu> having users is insecure
[02:06] <Pelo> i-n-f,    in the server dialog uncheck autojoin
[02:06] <Slart> i-n-f: try right clicking the channel name in the channel list to the left.. uncheck autojoin
[02:06] <Flannel> DocTrax: no.  You use sudo.  Users with the proper permissions can use "sudo" to run some stuff as root (which is also configurable, on a per user/program basis)
[02:06] <Broccoly_> Pelo: heh that thing has many settings
[02:06] <cycom> mobutu: :)
[02:06] <davebsd123> I have a question about xorg-driver-fglrx
[02:06] <vorbote> DocTrax: Do you mean like the toor account in many BSDs? That's a liability as well.
[02:06] <mobutu> you could install SE Linux and lock yourself out of your box
[02:06] <linxeh> DocTrax: err, why do you need an aliased root account ?
[02:06] <mobutu> that's secure too
[02:06] <Pelo> Broccoly_,   that thing has ALL the settings
[02:06] <foso> hey, finally got my wifi workiong, after reboot it doesnt work anymore, what do i need to do?
[02:07] <ohadz> Flannel, i have it on my desktop now. i just want to remove this error altogther.. - i don't want to reinstall it or anything for that matter.. just remove any trace of it and be able to use apt-get again
[02:07] <linxeh> heh SELinux - people actually trust that stuff ? :)
[02:07] <davebsd123> I've installed it many times but I've never had this problem - I did apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
[02:07] <Flannel> Pelo: just saying "designed for new users" makes it sound like we're fisher price linux, which isnt the case.
[02:07] <cycom> DocTrax: You can also have users sudo to permissions above their own but below root
[02:07] <PurpZeY> I just saw a YouTube video w/ Ubuntu, where the multiple desktops are actually rotating on a 3d cube...Not just Desktop Effects, What is that?
[02:07] <mobutu> SELinux is not so bad
[02:07] <Eidolos> ok now the meat of my problem
[02:07] <DocTrax> when an account gains rights to use sudo it is a superuser account
[02:07] <x3ro> I've got a wired Problem with video playback on Ubuntu 7.04: I hear the sound but I cant see the video itself... When I make a screenshot its there... ... -___-
[02:07] <ardya> PurpZeY: veryl
[02:07] <davebsd123> then I did aticonfig {--initial,--overlay-type=Xv}
[02:07] <i-n-f> oh cool, thanks
[02:07] <ardya> beryl
[02:07] <linxeh> mobutu: but it is from teh ev1l0rz NSA!!!
[02:07] <vorbote> linxeh: SELinux is much better than AppArmor, for sure.
[02:07] <Flannel> DocTrax: No, it's not.
[02:07] <mobutu> yeah whatever
[02:07] <DocTrax> i cant see a difference
[02:07] <davebsd123> but fglrxinfo just returns MESA info
[02:07] <cbs> whats the apt-get for flahs plugin?
[02:07] <i-n-f> this beryl is off the hook'
[02:07] <mobutu> it'll take Debian 23423423 years to argue about SELinux
[02:07] <cbs> flash***
[02:07] <Pelo> Flannel,  read again I didn't say designed i said intended
[02:08] <linxeh> vorbote: sure - I'm just being facetious
[02:08] <gortba> Hi. If I make a a copy of (and save on a peripheral device) my root directory then reinstall ubuntu, can I just my saved root directory to the new installation and retain all of my settings?
[02:08] <Flannel> DocTrax: Just because you can use sudo, doesn't mean you have access to anything.  You can give each user different abilities with sudo, restrict which programs they can/cant use with sudo, etc.
[02:08] <Pelo> cbs, sudo apt-get install flash , will probably do it
[02:08] <Gerro> vorbote: they both suck compared to actually doing that stuff yourself... only reason I use linux is no AV so not about to try selinux or apparmor
[02:08] <ohadz> Flannel, ? any ideas/
[02:08] <DocTrax> but i need an account with all permissions of root
[02:08] <ardya> heh you're being trolled
[02:08] <Flannel> ohadz: you'll probably need o reinstall it before you can remove it
[02:08] <DocTrax> this is root alias
[02:09] <linxeh> we use a homegrown variant of sudo at work to allow us to change into shared "processing" users - and this way we get a full audit log. its a great technique
[02:09] <gortba> err I meant "...can I just copy my saved..."
[02:09] <linxeh> DocTrax: why ?
[02:09] <cbs> pelo: flash could not be foung
[02:09] <Gerro> ardya: more like orced, for da horde yo!
[02:09] <ohadz> Flannel, can i just remove it without the need to reinstall it?
[02:09] <Flannel> DocTrax: no, it's not.  It's just a user with full access with sudo.
[02:09] <cbs> found***
[02:09] <Broccoly_> Pelo: hmm can't seem to find it
[02:09] <PurpZeY> ardya: what does beryl offer that gnome doesn't, besides these visual effects?
[02:09] <linxeh> DocTrax: why not just grant full sudo access, and run sudo -H -s if you need a root shell ?
[02:09] <Pelo> cbs, check in synaptic it will probably be easier

[02:10] <ralphv> thanks
[02:11] <DocTrax> Flannel: whats the difference between full access to sudo and the superuser?
[02:11] <gortba> Let me ask it again so my question actually makes sense...
[02:11] <mobutu> sudo bash is the best
[02:11] <DocTrax> thats the question
[02:11] <x3ro> pleaseeee....
[02:11] <cbs> Im not seeing ny packages for it
[02:11] <ardya> sudo passwd
[02:11] <Flannel> mobutu: no, sudo -i, not sudo bash
[02:11] <ardya> :)
[02:11] <gortba> If I make a copy of (and save on a peripheral device) my root directory then reinstall ubuntu, can I just copy my saved root directory to the new installation and retain all of my settings, programs and such?
[02:11] <daniel-eads> linxeh: lol, glad you had some experience, thanks again  :)
[02:11] <Flannel> DocTrax: Not much.  Sudo is logged, etc.    Just because it can be, doesn't make it a root account.

[02:12] <ardya> wtf
[02:12] <x3ro> ^^
[02:12] <Luxurious> x3ro: Could be a graphics card problem.
[02:12] <Flannel> !repeat | x3ro
[02:12] <ubotu> x3ro: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[02:12] <PurpZeY> ardya: Would it be necessary to remove Gnome to install Beryl, or could Beryl be installed along side gnome and then I would just need to specify which GUI to start?
[02:12] <Pelo> gortba,  right idea , wrong folder  you want to do that with /home  ,  and you can make your life even easier by putting /home on a seperate partition
[02:12] <x3ro> but even beryl works x_X
[02:13] <Luxurious> x3ro: Interesting, makes me clueless.
[02:13] <x3ro> *drop*
[02:13] <hendaus> hiya
[02:13] <hendaus> somebody help me please!
[02:13] <x3ro> btw... WHY does beryl work WITHOUT the closed-source ati driver and WITH it it works...
[02:13] <Pelo> x3ro, which video app ?
[02:13] <mobutu> does beryl work with xfce ?
[02:13] <DocTrax> Flannel: i would prefer su, sux or kdesu
[02:13] <x3ro> all of them^^
[02:13] <x3ro> vlc, totem, whichever
[02:13] <Pelo> hendaus,  we need to know your problem before we help
[02:13] <cbs> does anyone else possibly know apt-get for flash?
[02:14] <Pelo> x3ro,  are you using beryl or desktop effects ?
[02:14] <ardya> PurpZeY: you'll need one of gnome, kde, or xfce as well to run beryl
[02:14] <Pelo> cbs,   sudo apt-cache search flash
[02:14] <usser> how do i add a local mirror of a say universe repository into sources.list?
[02:14] <x3ro> try aptitude sarch flash @ cbs ... maybe it finds something
[02:14] <Flannel> DocTrax: if you'd prefer that, youd probably prefer a different distro.
[02:14] <hendaus> Pelo: thanx but i want to open my second hd, it opens but doesnot show me the files
[02:14] <x3ro> @Pelo: I already disabled them... but no change at all
[02:15] <Pelo> hendaus,  is it properly mounted ?
[02:15] <arsalan> hi everybody
[02:15] <foso> i have a broadcom card if that helps anyone know how ot help me
[02:15] <wheels3572> !Pidgin
[02:15] <ubotu> pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It wasn't released in time for Feisty. Expect it in gutsy. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info.
[02:15] <mobutu> cbs: i think you need to make sure 'universe' is in your suppositories
[02:15] <Flannel> DocTrax: then there you go.  Ubuntu uses sudo.  If you *want* to use root, you can, it's not recommended.
[02:15] <ardya> "gutsy"?
[02:15] <mobutu> cbs: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[02:15] <PurpZeY> ardya: I have gome already, will switching over to beryl require a lot? or is it fairly seamless?
[02:15] <hendaus> Pelo:  yes
[02:15] <mobutu> is it Gusty Goober
[02:15] <gortba> Pelo: Thanks. Over the months I've had to solve problems like changing text in configuration files--I know this sounds vague. What I mean is that it's taken some work to get my system to do everything right. I guess what I'm asking is by copying /home will that keep all the work I've done.
[02:16] <x3ro> damn^^ there must be some way to make it work x_X
[02:16] <wheels3572> Can anyone tell me if Pidgin is in the repos yet?
[02:16] <sayers> PurpZeY, if you know what your doing and read it right, 10 secconds
[02:16] <melman101> What's the difference betweening su'ing and sudo'ing. I've used both.
[02:16] <ziro01> dunno
[02:16] <majortom> foso: h/o
[02:16] <sayers> melman101, security
[02:16] <PurpZeY> sayers: And then beryl runs on top of Gnome?
[02:16] <ardya> PurpZeY: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Feisty_with_AIGLX
[02:16] <melman101> sayers: but isn't it effectively the same?
[02:16] <mobutu> wheels3572: apt-cache search pidgin tells me no
[02:16] <Waddledee> Can someone help me with a problem working on a dual-boot system?
[02:16] <PurpZeY> ardya: thanks.
[02:16] <majortom> foso: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405990&highlight=bcm43xx
[02:17] <sayers> PurpZeY, yes
[02:17] <wheels3572> mobutu, ty
[02:17] <mobutu> melman101: su makes you run a shell as a certain user, usually root
[02:17] <Evensar> Hi! I have a problem with the terminal, i cant open it, when i click on terminal in Appplications, it loads for a while but then it stops, and nothing more happens. i have tried to reinstall it with synaptic but it didnt help. Anyone got an idea?
[02:17] <x3ro> Waddledee -> ask
[02:17] <hendaus> Pelo: what can i do to open it?
[02:17] <Pelo> hendaus, gortba it will keep the stuff that is located in /home ie the data, the config folder for the various apps,   it will not keep stuff like edits to xorg.conf or other  things like that
[02:17] <mobutu> melman101: sudo 'command' means run a command as a user, usually root
[02:17] <sayers> melman101, no. Not at all. anyone knows the name root, but not your username so it makes brute hacking harder
[02:17] <mobutu> melman101: sudo is a 1 time command
[02:17] <foso> thanks, ill give it a look
[02:17] <melman101> Ahhh thanks mobutu, understand now.
[02:17] <arsalan> my firefox browser is not playing sounds when I play videos on youtube, can anyone help me out?
[02:17] <x3ro> is it possible that my video players try to display the stuff on another (connected, but disabled) screen?
[02:18] <mobutu> arsalan: does sound work for anything else?
[02:18] <Pelo> hendaus,  my guess is that the drive is not mounted properly,  you dont see the data because  you are looking at the mount point but it isn't linked to the drive,   open up gparted and check if he drive is there and where the partition is mounted ,   ps you dnT' mout a drive you mount a partition on a drive
[02:18] <gortba> Pelo: Right. I can't possibly remember every conf file that I've edited--so how to save all of these settings for my fresh install? Is there a blanket way to do this?
[02:18] <linxeh> mobutu: sudo bash shouldn't really be used - sudo -H -s is better
[02:19] <mobutu> linxeh: i was kidding
[02:19] <ardya> gortba: tar up /etc
[02:19] <linxeh> k :)
[02:19] <x3ro> there must be a way to get this to work x_X
[02:19] <hendaus> Pelo:  yes i have it on my desktop, i open it and doesnot show the files
[02:19] <Waddledee> x3ro: having become dissatisfied with the instability of Windows, I went ahead and set up a dual-boot system with Ubuntu.  Dual-boot because my brother likes City of Heroes, but not enough to pay an extra $5 a month for Cedega.
[02:19] <Pelo> gortba, not to my knowledge, personnaly I made a little bash script ouf of the cli proceedures I need to perform after a clean install
[02:19] <arsalan> please hold on mobutu I m checking this
[02:19] <Waddledee> x3ro: now I want to make the XP install a really clean one, with only what he needs to play City.  Problem is, when I go to reinstall Windows, it refuses to install because it wants to write data to the disc that has my Linux partitions.
[02:20] <linxeh> Waddledee: you were still running Windows ME or something then ?
[02:20] <avis> how do i get gdesklets to launch on boot ?
[02:20] <Pelo> hendaus,  right click on the desktop icon,  properties, permissions,  see if  the user has at least read permission
[02:20] <Pelo> avis,   menu > system > prefs > sessons : add
[02:20] <mobutu> avis: System->Preferences->Sessions
[02:20] <Waddledee> linxeh: Windows XP, I was.
[02:20] <arsalan> yes mobutu: it works on XMMS
[02:20] <mobutu> too slow
[02:20] <avis> thank you
[02:20] <x3ro> Waddledee: does it directly exit? normally it is possible to select the partition to write on isnt it?
[02:20] <avis> is that the same for amsn ?  anyone use it ?  wont launch on boot ?
[02:21] <Waddledee> x3ro: I can select the partition to write on, but it then complains that it can't find an XP-compatible partition on the other drive, and says it needs to write some data there.
[02:21] <JimM> Hello everyone, I was curious if anyone could point me to a guide to setting up filesharing in Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty? I have shared a folder (my home directory) and can ping the ubuntu machine from my windows desktop, but I can't get a listing of shares.
[02:21] <linxeh> Waddledee: oh, well Windows XP can be totally stable. I hate MS bashing for the sake of it. We have linux boxes at work that crash regularly because the hardware isn't fully supported, or the drivers are of poor quality. equally we have windows boxes with the same behaviour
[02:21] <gortba> Ok. thanks everyone
[02:21] <gortba> thanks Pelo
[02:21] <Pelo> avis,  that is how you get progs to start on boot
[02:21] <gortba> adios
[02:21] <Pelo> gortba,  best of luck
[02:21] <gortba> :)
[02:21] <Belboz99> Hey all, I don't seem to have direct rendering supported currently, and I cannot determine why.   I am using the nvidia driver, and it appears to load properly, I see the NVidia logo at login, any ideas?
[02:21] <Pelo> JimM, http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/distrib/ubuntu/unleashed/
[02:21] <Waddledee> linxeh: I'm not MS bashing for the sake of it.  What spurred me to get Ubuntu was rebooting my XP system, going to bed, getting up, and finding the system so wedged (when I hadn't done anything with it) that I couldn't even reboot.
[02:22] <x3ro> Waddledee: are all partitions on the same drive?
[02:22] <avis> Waddledee: sounds like you need to partition your hard drive to give room for windows and make a grub backup floppy to make sure you can get back into ubuntu
[02:22] <arsalan> mobutu: are u there
[02:22] <JimM> Pelo, thanks for the link, checking it out right now.
[02:22] <mobutu> arsalan: it's probably not a youtube problem, it's a 'sound in flash' problem
[02:22] <hendaus> Pelo:  where is that option, i tick from devices to show at desktop the second hd
[02:22] <arsalan> hmm so what I  gota do
[02:22] <Waddledee> x3ro, avis, here's the situation.  I have one drive that's partitioned in half.  The first half is where XP was; the second half is where files I might want to access from either side are (that's FAT32).
[02:23] <linxeh> Waddledee: I've never seen that at home, nor at work with 5000+ 2k and XP boxes (other than when something bad has happened hardware wise). Maybe these boxes don't do as much as yours though
[02:23] <mobutu> arsalan: there's so many things that oculd be wrong.  did you look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=255422
[02:23] <Waddledee> xero, avis: the other drive is given over completely to Ubuntu.  Windows and Ubuntu were existing in harmony, that's not the problem.  The problem is that I can't do a clean install of Windows because (I'm guessing) the boot info is on the Linux drive.
[02:23] <dkkong> Is there any way I can use my Lexmark's Scanner Feature under Linux? I see it listed under lsusb, but nothing will work with it software wise.
[02:23] <PurpZeY> So, is beryl something a lot of people use and is, commonplace, or is it just considered a tool for visual effects that not too many people use?
[02:23] <Pelo> hendaus,  you say you see an icon on your desktop for the second hdd ?  rightclick on it,  go down to properties,  in the tab for permission, see what permissions you have
[02:23] <avis> ok.  xp doesn't install on fat32 i dont think.  at least my x64 doesn't
[02:23] <x3ro> well^^ do it the easy way: disconnect your linux drive, than there is no way that windows will want to write on it
[02:23] <Evensar> Hi! I have a problem with the terminal, i cant open it, when i click on terminal in Appplications, it loads for a while but then it stops, and nothing more happens. i have tried to reinstall it with synaptic but it didnt help. Anyone got an idea?
[02:23] <mobutu> arsalan: actually that's pretty old.  there must be something more recent in the ubuntuforums.org forums.
[02:23] <Pelo> PurpZeY, a lot of ppl use it,  but it basicaly just candy
[02:24] <hendaus> Pelo:  hdb1
[02:24] <mobutu> PurpZeY: using beryl breaks playing movies for me in vlc, so i quit using it
[02:24] <linxeh> PurpZeY: if it was stable I would use it a lot because I think the fancy visual feedback really makes things more "ergonomic", but unfortunately it isn't (yet)
[02:24] <hendaus> Pelo:  i am using kubuntu
[02:24] <Pelo> Evensar, atl f2    xterm
[02:24] <Waddledee> linxeh: it's entirely possible some program I was running was at fault.  That doesn't really solve my problem, though.
[02:24] <Weldon> Hey guys... just installed Feisty on my laptop (HP Pavilion DV6115CA) and it appeared to keep freezing on boot (no trouble with livecd).

[02:25] <Pelo> !dvd
[02:25] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[02:25] <x3ro> where was I ^^ somebody knows how I tell my video players on which screen to display the vid???
[02:25] <mobutu> orbisvicis: playing the dvd with vlc might work too
[02:25] <PurpZeY> linxeh: So, in your opinion it isn't worth it?
[02:25] <dkkong> !lexmark
[02:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lexmark - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:25] <hendaus> bruenig: i make format another time :(
[02:26] <orbisvicis> all the other players work, its just that totem has this annoying bug
[02:26] <linxeh> PurpZeY: set it up, play with it, and if its stable for you then use it - for me it got annoying having to change window manager all the time to make my session usable again
[02:26] <x3ro> damn^^ nobody?
[02:26] <Dark_Avenger> how do i download stuff using ubuntu
[02:26] <arsalan> mobutu: well video play well in the browser and I even can raise or lower the volume but I dont hear any sound. i checked with XMMS I m hearding sound there. Do you think that reinstalling firefox could help?
[02:26] <x3ro> same as on windows xP @ Dark_Avenger ...
[02:26] <Dark_Avenger> o
[02:26] <Pelo> Dark_Avenger,  with download apps same as in windows
[02:26] <Weldon> anybody?
[02:27] <linxeh> PurpZeY: I'm going to try it every couple of months to see how it has improved. you could also try compiz (the project from which beryl was forked  - they have much in common)
[02:27] <JammasterJay> Everytime i boot up, i have to enter sudo depmod -ae, sudo modprobe bcm43xx in terminal for my wireless card to be detected, is there a way that i could have this saved or automated on startup?
[02:27] <Pelo> Weldon,  anybody what ?
[02:27] <x3ro> yeah... anybody?^^
[02:27] <Weldon> Pelo:  just installed Feisty on my laptop (HP Pavilion DV6115CA) and it appeared to keep freezing on boot (no trouble with livecd).  I tried booting in recovery mode and the last thing I see before it stops responding is "CPU#1 had 248 usecs TSC skew, fixed it up.".  Can anybody please help?
[02:27] <ajmorris_> what is the command for seeing system specs in the CLI, i have forgotten
[02:27] <orbisvicis> is it possible to configure/'tell' totem that the necessary plugins are installed?
[02:28] <Pelo> JammasterJay,  it is supposed to be automated, you should never have to do that everytime,  you must ahve missed someting in the proceedure
[02:28] <Slart> ajmorris_: try starting with hw and try autocomplete
[02:28] <atrus> orbisvicis: how are you playing it "manually"?
[02:28] <PurpZeY> linxeh: Yeah, I guess the thing is, I saw this video with the fancy cube spinning and everything, and I thought "Gee, I want that" but, it seems like it might end up being more trouble than anything else
[02:28] <linxeh> ajmorris_: hmm, cat /proc/cpuinfo ? dmesg | less ?
[02:28] <Pelo> Weldon,   search for the error msg in the forum ,  it's the best advice I can give you
[02:28] <orbisvicis> manual = select from menu       Auto = insert dvd &let play
[02:28] <linxeh> PurpZeY: I think it depends on your hardware; on some systems it is apparently very stable. on mine it would randomly crash and leave me with no window manager
[02:29] <linxeh> PurpZeY: it is about time I tried again though
[02:29] <Weldon> haven't been able to find anything relevant either via google or on the forum.. and I don't think that's where it's actually freezing, but rather whichever step comes next  :(
[02:29] <Pelo> Weldon,  are you overclocking by any chance ?
[02:29] <Slart> ajmorris_: lshw might work too
[02:29] <atrus> orbisvicis: sounds like a bug unrelated to plugins. the message is somewhat misleading.
[02:30] <fosofosho> majortom: i dont understand all of the how-to
[02:30] <majortom> fosofosho: best of luck to you, thats all i have
[02:30] <Dark_Avenger> http://hackpr.net/~sub7/downloads.shtml
[02:30] <fosofosho> it says to navigate to where i extracted the fw files,
[02:30] <fosofosho> i dont know how to navigate to that in the terminal
[02:30] <orbisvicis> hmm, ill try from terminal ... maybe it looks for hda instead of hdb
[02:30] <ardya> cd some_dir
[02:30] <fosofosho> its on the desktop, i just dont know the command
[02:30] <Weldon> Pelo:  Nope, new laptop that I just wanted to try a linux distro on, was going to try pclinuxos but decided to give Feisty a try as I've heard it had great hardware detection
[02:30] <ardya> thats navigfate
[02:31] <x3ro> Dark: install an ed2k client
[02:31] <x3ro> *a
[02:31] <ajmorris_> slart, linxeh, thanks but i thought there was a command that showed better results, like the results shown i dxdiag in windows, what about just through the GUI, you know of a way?
[02:31] <Dark_Avenger> k
[02:31] <pppoe_dude> anyone got the brightness applet to work with an intel chipset?
[02:31] <majortom> fosofosho: open up a terminal, cd /directory/you/extracted/to
[02:31] <linxeh> ajmorris_: there is a system info thing or hardware browser gui tool yeah
[02:31] <Slart> ajmorris_: hmm.. hardinfo might be sometihng like that.. sudo apt-get install hardinfo
[02:31] <Pelo> Weldon,  that errormsg sounds to me like hardware problem possibly,  try asking in ##linux they are a bit more 1337 they might know
[02:31] <isabelabadone> are there any hard drive repair, scanning, error fixing, etc... applications for ubuntu? i think my HDD has an error on it that is preventing me from partitioning it correctly
[02:31] <Pelo> Weldon,  or #hardware
[02:32] <kazol> xtknight: I still get the error msg. Any ideas?
[02:32] <Pelo> isabelabadone, fsck
[02:32] <isabelabadone> pelo: ran it and it came out clean. but it still gives me an error when i partition it
[02:32] <ajmorris_> linxeh, what is the name of the GUI tool?
[02:32] <pppoe_dude> isabelabadone, what error?
[02:32] <Weldon> something physically with the hardware?  The pre-installed OS is working fine, though I guess that's not necessarily a great indication
[02:32] <linxeh> ajmorris_: eg kinfocenter for kde. I dont know the gnome one off the top of my head
[02:32] <Pelo> isabelabadone,  fdisk
[02:33] <Slart> ajmorris_: hmm.. I don't know of anything gui based by heart.. but I'm sure there is something
[02:33] <PurpZeY> linxeh: Yeah, unfortunately I think I have to stay away from it, b/c my gnome has been stable for a while, but I am just getting used being able to change the settings and editing things...If something goes totally whacked, I won't know what to do
[02:33] <ajmorris_> kk, thanks, linxeh and Slart
[02:33] <x3ro> really nobody present can give me a SMALL hint?^^
[02:33] <Pelo> ajmorris_, gui tool to do what ?
[02:33] <kon> how can i override a max screen resultion for a montior in xorg.conf?
[02:34] <isabelabadone> pppoe_dude: it says fatal error on gparted boot up live cd and on the regular gparted in ubuntu it just says there is an error on the disk
[02:34] <linxeh> PurpZeY: there is a hardware browser on the gnome menus somewhere on ubuntu - try that
[02:34] <Pelo> x3ro, wrong video driver selected , open up mplayer,  goto the prefs and selec tthe x11 one
[02:34] <ajmorris_> Pelo, i just wanna see my system specs through CLI or GUI much like what is displayed in dxdiag in windows
[02:34] <orbisvicis> atrus: I dont know how to reproduce the error: from the terminal this [totem /media/cdrom0 play]  works ... any ideas?
[02:34] <fosofosho> majortom: sorry, im an idiot and cant figure how to navigate
[02:34] <fosofosho> im a noob
[02:34] <vicente> hi guys, I have a problem with my wi-fi... somebody can help me?
[02:34] <kon> mine does support 1600x1200 but it says that is not possible with the hardware
[02:34] <PurpZeY> linxeh: Hardware browser?
[02:34] <Pelo> ajmorris_,  try  menu > system > prefs > hardware info
[02:34] <isabelabadone> i'd like to scan my hard drive for errors, is there a program other than fschk that will do that for me?
[02:34] <xtknight> kazol, so you set a mount point of / and still get an eror?
[02:34] <pppoe_dude> isabelabadone, you probably need to do a thorough check of all partitions on the harddisk, use the -cc parameter
[02:35] <dkkong> If I"m in a directory that contains drivers and it has a makefile in it, shouldn't I be able to do a make with no problems if I have build-essential?
[02:35] <isabelabadone> pppoe_dude: how do i do that?
[02:35] <linxeh> PurpZeY: have a look for it - I think it will show you the information you want. I run KDE because I find Gnome restricts me too much so I can't easily see what apps you get on Gnome from here
[02:35] <ajmorris_> Pelo, yeah i just found that, thanks, i wanted something more, in one place, nvm thanks anyway
[02:35] <Pelo> isabelabadone, what is the error msg you get when you try partitionning it ?
[02:35] <pppoe_dude> isabelabadone, or example, e2fsck -cc /dev/hda
[02:35] <vicente> after the installation of ubuntustudio I don't run my wi-fi
[02:35] <Pelo> ajmorris_,   man  cat
[02:35] <x3ro> kon: check if the mode is present, also check the Sync Frequencies...!!!!
[02:35] <pppoe_dude> s/or/for
[02:35] <isabelabadone> pelo, it just said that the process had to abort because there was an error on the disk. please check for errors and try again or something along those lines
[02:36] <Jared_> When I try to install Ubuntu from the free CD I just got, I get an XOrg desktop not found error.

[02:47] <pm2> Does anyone have any experience with virtualbox?  I'm running kubuntu feisty as a host, and win2k as the guest.  Win2k seems to hang frequently, for no apparent reason.  Has anyone seen this before, or have any advice?

[02:47] <Jared_P> Pelo: A ATI Radeon 9500

[02:47] <Jared_P> Pelo: Should I use my internal graphics driver?
[02:47] <vicente> Gerro?
[02:48] <kubuntu> Hello
[02:48] <kubuntu>  can someone help with a grub 1.5 loading non error?
[02:48] <Pelo> Jared_P,  you will probably have to install using the alternate install cd  it is text based and doesn'T use xorg,  then you can install the ati drivers to get the desktop working
[02:48] <imbecile> pppoe_dude:  so i drag the download of gdm theme to the "login window prefs" box? I dont see the new login windows in thE box
[02:48] <Jordan_U> kaboom2, If you removed gdm using apt it should not try to start it
[02:48] <kaboom2> hmm
[02:48] <fosofosho> thanks all
[02:48] <Pelo> Jared_P,  if you have one it would be a good idea
[02:48] <x3ro> wtf Pelo I cant see any options in MPlayer o___O
[02:48] <Jared_P> Pelo: OK, I will try my internal one.
[02:49] <kubuntu> When I boot the computer grub doesn't give me an error
[02:49] <pppoe_dude> imbecile, go to the 'local' tab
[02:49] <Pelo> x3ro,   rigthclick on the control pannel, go to preferences,  in the tab for video
[02:49] <pppoe_dude> imbecile, from there you can select "add theme", or perhaps drag it in
[02:49] <kaboom2>  Jordan_U: i removed gnomekeys and it deleted a lot more than i expected it would.
[02:49] <speaker219> anyone know how to dual boot windows and ubuntu
[02:49] <fosofosho> one more question, i extracted bcm43xxfirmware to my desktop, once i have my wireless working, can  i delete these files?
[02:49] <PocketIRC> is there a place where I can see what new software iss beeing added to the repos?
[02:49] <kubuntu> packages.ubuntu.com
[02:49] <killown> how I do to add dump for my desktop ?
[02:50] <Pelo> speaker219,  when you install ubuntu it will install a boot manager called grub , it will automaticaly include all other os on your system
[02:50] <killown> I only get add in gnome-panel but not in desktop
[02:50] <jrib> !icons > killown (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:50] <speaker219> is packages.ubuntu down for you guys?
[02:50] <speaker219> packages.ubuntu.com
 yeah..
[02:50] <Pelo> PocketIRC,  in synaptic ther is a status option , it contains a category called new in repos
[02:50] <speaker219> its been down all day
[02:50] <fosofosho> will my wireless still work if i get rid of the fw files?
[02:50] <Jordan_U> kaboom2, How did you remove it? You should install ubuntu-desktop to make sure you have everything you should if you don't know what was removed ( it will install gdm again as well, but you don't need to keep / use it )
