[02:51] <ubuntu> does anyone knwo what this comment means? AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
[02:51] <r3n0c> scguy318,  but when i load i type login... but it then just says password:         never prompting for username
[02:52] <r3n0c> scguy318,  then once it fails, it prompts for username
[02:52] <r3n0c> scguy318,  anyway to fix this?
[02:52] <blahman32> how come when i boot the live cd it boots in 640x400???
[02:52] <scguy318> r3n0c: login is the username prompt
[02:52] <scguy318> r3n0c: unless I'm missing something?
[02:52] <clanmac10>  jrib: many thanks
[02:52] <r3n0c> scguy318,  oooo. well it never says username:    it just leaves the cursor flashing after it finishes loading, so i typed login... to start that?
[02:52] <blahman32> how do i make it have a bigger resloution?
[02:53] <r3n0c> but i guess that that was the username prompt
[02:53] <scguy318> r3n0c: ubuntu prematurely starts the login process on tty1
[02:53] <scguy318> r3n0c: since it starts the login processes while everything is loading, instead of after
[02:53] <punkgy> kelsin: do you know what command I would use to transfer the file over to windows while I am logged through putty?
[02:53] <scguy318> r3n0c: annoying but not sure how to fix
[02:54] <scguy318> r3n0c: a good question tho :)
[02:54] <ubuntu> scguy318,  what do you mean that seems like what is happoening
[02:54] <kelsin> punkgy: sorry I didn't explain, on the putty page there is also a puttyscp or something like that program, that's the one to use to transfer files
[02:54] <r3n0c> ok, so i could just type the username at start? and it'll work , ok. i guess that that is fine
[02:54] <kSid> Ubuntu is heavier than SuSE
[02:54] <clanmac10> Well I am not sure thats what I want although it is what I mean...
[02:54] <punkgy> ok, that makes sense, thanks
[02:54] <kelsin> punkgy: using the same syntax as scp on linux, so on the windows shell it's like "pscp ubuntu-user@ubuntu-ip:/path/to/file ." or something like that
[02:55] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntu:  you need a better nickname, everytime someone says ubuntu, it alerts you, not a good idea in ubuntu
[02:55] <clanmac10> that is, I want any app to open in the _normal_ place and not particular apply to particular apps
[02:55] <scguy318> ubuntu: ?
[02:55] <IndyGunFreak> scguy318: he's delirious
[02:55] <scguy318> IndyGunFreak: apparently :P
[02:56] <kelsin> punkgy: (the other solution is to make sure simple file sharing is on on windows and then share a folder and you should be able to browse to it through nautilus and the "Place -> Network" menu in ubuntu, but I always go for the command line way ussually :)
[02:56]  * emgent heya
[02:56] <naegling23> hey, is anyone familiar with firestarter/networking?
[02:56] <holzmodem> hi, how can i change the font color of gtk apps manually, cause of the definition in "kcontrol>appearance and themes" is ignored.
[02:56] <kelsin> clanmac10: probably not possible with gnome / metacity, devilspie can probably make rules for ALL apps, still probably your best bet
[02:56] <kelsin> naegling23: better just to ask your question, people will answer if they knwo anything
[02:57] <clanmac10> why should it do it in the first place
[02:57] <clanmac10> its move of a bug if you ask me
[02:57] <kelsin> clanmac10: I must have missed the initial conversation, where is it placing your apps now?
[02:57] <clanmac10> windows should default in a area of the screen were you can access there widgets

[02:58] <r3n0c> what media player should i be using? get rid of the built in one and use vlc?
[02:58] <ubuntu> I can't edit the xorg.conf it is read only
[02:58] <naegling23> ok, so here it goes, I have two computers on my network, one is fine (I removed iptables from it), the other one can access the internet, but not the internal network, in firestarter, i get a cannot start firewall error
[02:58] <scguy318> r3n0c: whatever you want
[02:58] <scguy318> r3n0c: though that's what I would do :P
[02:58] <scguy318> !players | r3n0c
[02:58] <ubotu> r3n0c: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs
[02:58] <ubuntu> do i need to issue a rename command to the xorg.conf.backup file  somehow?
[02:58] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntu:  yuou've spent 20min doing this the wrong way, if you'd do what i told you to, it would take tyou about 2.
[02:59] <r3n0c> scguy318,  just b/c after i updated and had it load to text mode, so i have todo startx.... when i try to play movies with vlc or the built in player... it crashes
[02:59] <clanmac10> the top part of the app, that is the windows tool part with the - |=| + at the top gets stuck under the top panel every time you open any app
[02:59] <r3n0c> scguy318,  the built in one is totem
[02:59] <ubuntu> IndyGunFreak,  I would do it that way but grub doesnt give me an option for safe mode so I have to do it this way
[03:00] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntu:  then you removed it... cuz grub puts 3 linux entries, normal, recovery, and memtest
[03:00] <ubuntu> Grub just boats into an insane error loop
[03:00] <kelsin> clanmac10: ok that is wierd, normally that should not happen, this on a pretyt new ubuntu install?
[03:00] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntu:  do yuou see your grub menu?
[03:00] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu: I use this to make my backup  cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/Desktop/xorg.conf.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T)
[03:00] <eltux> how would I go about removing my /usr/local directory?
[03:00] <r3n0c> X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
[03:01] <r3n0c> when i try to play a movie that worked before having to type startx to run the gui
[03:01] <r3n0c> should i not be doing startx?
[03:01] <r3n0c> start-gnome? or something
[03:01] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu: Were you trying to adjust the screen res, video drivers
[03:01] <ubuntu> IndyGunFreak,  I have never messed with grub since I installed 6.10 as soon as i power my compuetr on it goes from bios to grub loading press escape then Starting up then errors
[03:01] <clanmac10> kelsin:yep 7.10
[03:01] <scguy318> r3n0c: im clueless in that area unfortunately
[03:01] <jrib> eltux: just delete it
[03:01] <jrib> !cli > eltux (read the private message from ubotu)
[03:01] <r3n0c> kk, from text login i do type startx tho... to get everything to load
[03:01] <kelsin> clanmac10: so the top appears beneath the top gnome panel?
[03:02] <eltux> jrib: its saying I don't have permission for one of the files
[03:02] <kelsin> clanmac10: did this start happening at any point, or did it do this from the beginning?
[03:02] <ubuntu> Jack_Sparrow,  the last thing I did was get dual monitor support with nvidia gui it worked fine resatarted then errors
[03:02] <DM|> kelsin still there?
[03:02] <scguy318> r3n0c: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start or that perhaps
[03:02] <jrib> eltux: you are using sudo?
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu: so the answer is yes
[03:03] <kelsin> clanmac10: I would try to right click ont he panel and change it's positon to the bottom and back to the top, and then change it's size and then put the size back to maybe reset the X settings dealing with parts of the screen like that
[03:03] <eltux> jrib: whats the command to delete in the console? I forget (<- still a linux nooblet)
[03:03] <eltux> terminal*
[03:03] <ubuntu> IndyGunFreak,  No i dont see the grub menu I have had a dual boot configuration on this machine before so I know what you mean by selecting safe mode from the grub menu
[03:03] <kelsin> DM|: I'm still listening yes, but you're better off just asking your question with kelsin: at the front, I'll respond if I can/am here
[03:03] <ubuntu> Jack_Sparrow,  Yes
[03:03] <jrib> eltux: ubotu's message explains, but it is 'rm -rf PATH'.  Be *very* sure you did not make a typo
[03:03] <ubuntu> Jack_Sparrow,  Currently I am in livecd
[03:03] <eltux> jrib: okay. thank you
[03:03] <DM|> Kelsin I finally solved it... i had to fiddle and fiddle and fiddle.. for some reason ubuntu is set up to default to a low graphics if x crashes, which is fine, without this "bullet proof X" it was easier to fix...
[03:04] <ubuntu> I have my hd install mounted
[03:04] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntu:  if you're not seeing a grub menu, then you have more problems than jsut a display issue.
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu: you may now need to hit esc to get to grub for recovery mode..
[03:04] <DM|> Kelsin wasnt a question hehe just talking
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu: later.. time for dinner
[03:04] <kelsin> DM|: glad to hear it
[03:04] <ubuntu> Jack_Sparrow,  Ahh that helps
[03:04] <rewks> hello
[03:04] <rewks> how to install GRUB to my sata?
[03:04] <ubuntu> Thanks guys canonical should hire you!
[03:04] <wsv123456> libdvdplay0?
[03:04] <DM|> kelsin now im going to go start a sit in to get rid of bullet proof x
[03:04] <rewks> setting grup install to (sd0) instead (hd0) failed... :(
[03:04] <scguy318> wsv123456: ?
[03:04] <r3n0c_> scguy318,  lol well um it wasn't very happy while trying to start gdm while i was ..... already using gnome lol
[03:05] <r3n0c_> scguy318,  but i'll see if the videos work now
[03:05] <rewks> how to install grub to MBR or sata (sda)?   sd0 fails...
[03:05] <scguy318> rewks: you shouldn't write sd0, its like hd(number, number)
[03:05] <dmitrig01> burning!
[03:05] <kelsin> rewks: grub uses it's own naming scheme, sda might be called hd0
[03:06] <rewks> scguy318: orly? so whats the no for sda ?
[03:06] <r3n0c_> scguy318,  ok well it works now.... would it be possible to do gdm.... instead of startx... at login?
[03:06] <rewks> kelsin: if hd0 is sda then what is hda and hdb ?
[03:06] <kelsin> it depends on your computer, if you're inside of grub (meaning you typed grub and are on a grub prompt) you can type hd and hit tab to see some info
[03:06] <rainwalker> Why doesn't AWN use my icon theme?
[03:06] <rewks> kelsin: Im installi'n ubuntu
[03:06] <PirateHead> rainwalker: AWN uses its own theme engine.
[03:06] <Dr_willis> because awn has its own icons i thought. and themes
[03:07] <scguy318> r3n0c_: if gdm doesnt start automatically you'll prob have to do that, dont quote me on that
[03:07] <rainwalker> PirateHead: Ah, ok then
[03:07] <kelsin> rewks: grub uses it's own COMPLETELY DIFFERENT naming scheme, it calls hard drives hd0, hd1, etc has nothing to do with hda, sda and the like
[03:07] <tntCry> my ubuntu doesnt understand my mouse bindings
[03:07] <SithRee> has there been a release of the vmware optimized version of Ubuntu yet?
[03:07] <PirateHead> rainwalker: Eventually AWN and Gnome may get better integration, but keep in mind that AWN is still a very young project.
[03:07] <clanmac10>  kelsin: Yes thats correct, it started happening after a dpkg-configure xserver-xorg and a new nvidia card to start using compiz-fusion
[03:07] <kelsin> rewks: this is an error you're getting while installing?
[03:07] <tntCry> i cant press the back and forward buttons to use them as back forward
[03:07] <rainwalker> PirateHead: even though the applets use the icons from my theme?
[03:07]  * rewks slaps grub for using strange conventions
[03:07] <naegling23> so, firestarter is unable to start my firewall, can anyone help me out here, Im connected through a router, but im getting two devices, eth0 and eth1, should I have both?
[03:07] <r3n0c_> scguy318, ... omg... .is r3n0c still online....... that is me...
[03:07] <Dr_willis> naegling23,  one may be your wireless?
[03:07] <r3n0c_> scguy318, ... hmmm running starx... then gdm... is just bad... i'm logged in twice
[03:07] <naegling23> nope, no wireless here
[03:08] <rewks> thanks
[03:08] <PirateHead> rainwalker: It isn't that there is no integration. If you are interested in the specifics, you can check out what documentation there is, ask the email list, dig through the source code, and so on.
[03:08] <rainwalker> PirateHead: also, wouldn't GTK integration be more important than GNOME integration?
[03:08] <scguy318> r3n0c_: if GNOME is already running switch to the terminal that the X server is running on
[03:08] <scguy318> r3n0c_: Ctrl-Alt-F7 or w/e
[03:08] <geck1> anyone familiar with compiz that can help me out with skydome? I have an image selected, but it only displays the gradient in the background
[03:08] <naegling23> should I try to remove one of them somehow?
[03:08] <PirateHead> rainwalker: GTK is desktop-agnostic, so it doesn't deal with GNOME's icon themes, configuration, and so on.
[03:08] <scguy318> r3n0c_: you dont need to start X twice, unless I'm missing someting
[03:08] <r3n0c> lol omg
[03:09] <PirateHead> rainwalker: For AWN to totally fit into the Ubuntu desktop, it will need integration both on the GTK and Gnome levels.
[03:09] <r3n0c> this is sweet... but useless
[03:09] <r3n0c> gonna just restart and see if i can fix
[03:09] <rainwalker> PirateHead: ah, I was just thinking GTK
[03:09] <naegling23> gek1, make sure the image is set as a plugin in compiz settings
[03:09] <tntCry> why does ubuntu doesnt know the button forward and back
[03:09] <tntCry> in the mouse
[03:09] <belyle> gek1: also make sure that the image is sized to a power of 2 in each direction
[03:09] <geck1> naegling can you elaborate please
[03:09] <geck1> eh im a total noob at compiz i jus tDLed it today
[03:10] <pg> !automation
[03:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about automation - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:10] <geck1> power of 2 meaning if my desktop is 1280x1024, the image should be like 2560x2048?
[03:10] <naegling23> gek1, go to the compiz settings manager, go to the image loading area, make sure that all the images are selected
[03:10] <tntCry> i know you can forward by holding left mousebutton then tappiong on the right and for left its reciprocal but theyr is a binding in some new mouses where you can forward back easily just by tapping like in windows .. any ideas ? must i buy a new mouse?
[03:10] <geck1> yes naegling, they are all selected
[03:10] <belyle> geck1: no, power of two meaning two^(something) ie 512, 1024, 2048 etc
[03:11] <ConstyXIV> wasn't there some sort of orange/black version of the gutsy wallpaper during a beta?

[03:12] <geck1> belyle, so if my desktop is 1280x1024, what size does the skydome image need to be?
[03:12] <kelsin> rewks: grub is running at a level below the linux kernel, it makes sense it doesn't use the linux kernel's conventions cause it can be used on any computer, not only ones with linux
[03:12] <belyle> geck1: actually, the skydome size really has nothing to do with your desktop size
[03:12] <maynard> how u gonna ban people if there is no operator
[03:13] <geck1> belyle, i dont know if i follow what you mean then about the power of 2?
[03:13] <belyle> geck1: you can make it any size, although I recommend about a 1024x1024 if you aren't running a widescreen
[03:13] <kelsin> clanmac10: are you using metacity or compiz atm?
[03:13] <rainwalker> belyle: so if I do have a widescreen, what size should the skydome be?
[03:14] <operator011> geck1: Do you mean Xx2 or X^2?
[03:14] <belyle> well, 2^1 = 2, 2^2=4 ... 2^5=32 ... and so on, 512 is a power of two, 1024 is a power of two, etc
[03:14] <geck1> operator011, i'm not sure =P belyle was saying something about it
[03:14] <geck1> belyle but what are you making a power of 2?
[03:14] <geck1> oh just the skydome image size?
[03:15] <Dextorion> any recommendation for a webmail system?
[03:15] <r3n0c> scguy318, ... ok i have to login 2x now.....
[03:15] <belyle> geck1: the dimensions of the image. but as was said before, you need to make sure the plugin is enabled (check mark) for the skydome, and the plugin for that image type is enabled
[03:15] <Dextorion> i've heard about squirrelmaiil before if i recall correctly..?
[03:15] <geck1> both are enabled, i double checked....yet it still wont show the image
[03:15] <r3n0c> scguy318,  it loads fine to text... i login.. type sudo gdm... then it runs gdm... which makes me login again.. in visual mode, then it loads gnome
[03:15] <rainwalker> where's the info page for Compiz Fusion? someone is asking about it and I don't know where to tell them to look
[03:15] <roxygir3> hi, i'm having troubles burning an .iso to DVD with dvdrecorder from terminal
[03:16] <r3n0c> rainwalker,  what info.. like the config?
[03:16] <geck1> is there a resolution limit?
[03:16] <rainwalker> r3
[03:16] <rainwalker> r3n0c: no, like the page that explains what it is and all that
[03:16] <clanmac10>  kelsin:Sorry I did not see you reply, compiz
[03:16] <tomd123> geck1, it's only limited by your monitor
[03:16] <r3n0c> rainwalker, o... sry, all i remember is to open the config... ccsm
[03:16] <geck1> hmm k
[03:17] <kelsin> clanmac10: I would check out gconf-editor and goto "apps -> compiz" and make sure nothing about "struts" is unchecked, but I'm not running compiz so hard for me to help you past this :) good luck
[03:17] <tomd123> geck1, and your system's stats
[03:17] <r3n0c> brb
[03:17] <geck1> kk, i'll keep tinkering away, i may be back for more help =) thanks guys

[03:19] <ethana2> oh, nvm-- it doesn't exist yet

[03:20] <bazhang> ethana2: net install?
[03:20] <ethana2> but I found out they didn't make one yet, so nevermind
[03:20] <kelsin> IowaDave: might be in ~/.xsession-errors
[03:20] <clanmac10> kelsin:Ok understood, many thanks for the help. What are "struts"?
[03:20] <ethana2> no, I wanted to keep track of developments in psubuntu
[03:20] <IowaDave> kelson: thanks, will look there.
[03:20] <ethana2> before I bought a ps3
[03:20] <kelsin> clanmac10: the gnome panel defines a "strut" (I think) which means don't place windows here :)
[03:20] <ketrox> where is the modprobe.conf in gutsy ?
[03:20] <batmansboy> hi.. I just upgraded to gutsy gibon and added the trash and home folder to my desktop via the configuration editor .. but now they're not showing up even though they're checked in the config editor .. any ideas?
[03:21] <bazhang> ethana2: not sure though there is a walkthrough on how to do it
[03:21] <kelsin> clanmac10: I knwo in windows managers like FVWM and other VERY configurable ones you can tell certain windows to ignorestruts etc
[03:21] <ethana2> right..
[03:21] <kelsin> clanmac10: so clearly either gnome-panel is not defining them, or compiz is not listening
[03:21] <ethana2> but I wanted to contribute ideas in real time...  they just need to get a channel up
[03:21] <ethana2> which hasn't hapenned yet
[03:21] <bazhang> ethana2: set one up yourself
[03:21] <ethana2> How do I do that?
[03:22] <ethana2> can I do that on freenode?
[03:22] <Nivek_Ogre> compiz problem. was working for 2 days no problem, then i restarted and now I can't make it work. i've enabled/disabled/enabled restricted drivers. suggestions?

[03:27] <bazhang> hehe
[03:27] <odinriko> in gutsy how do I get a build environment?
[03:27] <Dr_willis> !info build-essential
[03:28] <ubotu> build-essential: informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.3ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB
[03:28] <Dr_willis> install  build-essential  for a start
[03:28] <IowaDave> kelsin (or anybody): looking in .xsession-errors for clues to multiple OpenOffice crashes I find a whole lot of these: Window manager warning: meta_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed."
[03:28] <IowaDave> terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::sdbc::SQLException'
[03:28] <odinriko> Thanks Dr_willis
[03:28] <IowaDave> Sorry guys, hit the return key too soon.
[03:29] <iforgot> My fonts are too big (i've put Xft.dpi: 96 in Xft.xrdb, but it doesn't seem to affect it at all). Using Xubuntu 4.10. Can anyone help me?
[03:29] <qazwsx> is ther ea way to redirect stderr to stdout, and then pipe stdout to anothyer prog? I don't want to send it to a file ... i want to send it t oanother prog
[03:30] <IowaDave> Anyway lots of mentions of the pager needing to be fixed but only one instance of terminating after the Sun sql exception, which would relate to OpenOffice. Any ideas where else I can look for clues to what's breaking?
[03:30] <bazhang> iforgot 4.10? why not a more recent one?
[03:31] <Snake> Hey you guys, I just got gutsy running, and I know it has compiz built in, and it was working before, well I just installed the closed source ATI drivers, and now its broken... any way to fix it?
[03:31] <Dr_willis> prog1 | pr0g2 for one part.. i also recall the use of &1 and &2 some how for pipint the err and out somewhere.. perhaps progra  &1 | prog2 ?

[03:36] <techqbert> do I need putty to tunnel ssh?  what if I want to tunnel vnc through ssh from gnu/linux to gnu/linux
[03:36] <Lore2>  /nick lorek != name change.

[03:37] <Undead_Zeus> how do i access the partition manager?
[03:37] <Lor1> odd
[03:38] <ni1> Undead_Zeus: gparted is awesome, try it
[03:38] <antonio__> somebody can helme with compiz ?
[03:38] <Undead_Zeus> roighto. i shall
[03:38] <Mr_Awesom1> Undead_Zeus gparted is the way to go
[03:38] <techqbert> scguy318: just ssh ip.ip.ip.ip -l user -p (sshport) and then vncviewer ip.ip.ip.ip:(sshport)?
[03:38] <Undead_Zeus> you guys have 1 at the end of your names
[03:38] <scguy318> techqbert: no
[03:38] <Undead_Zeus> is that a pidgin bug? it was happening to me
[03:38] <scguy318> techqbert: you have to do like
[03:38] <Mr_Awesom1> i'm using gaim
[03:38] <nillll> its just because someone else owns the nick
[03:38] <Mr_Awesom1> dunno what's up with it
[03:38] <nillll> also matty, try looking up fstab
[03:39] <nillll> it might be in there somewhere
[03:39] <nillll> but i dunno
[03:39] <scguy318> techqbert: ssh x.x.x.x -l user -p port -L 5900:<IP_ADDRESS>:5900 then vncviewer <IP_ADDRESS>::port
[03:39] <scguy318> techqbert: note the two colons in the vncviewer syntax, i believe that's what you put when you mean port instead of screen
[03:39] <scguy318> techqbert: though if its on 5900, dont have to specify port
[03:39] <mattycoze> ni1111 that was a fstab -l functioin
[03:40] <scguy318> techqbert: and I have the forward on local 5900 -> <IP_ADDRESS>:5900, change as you wish
[03:40] <alephnull> Are there any general guidelines to do a edgy -> gutsy upgrade.
[03:40] <Undead_Zeus> With GParted, how am I supposed to shorten the ext3 partition?
[03:40] <scguy318> alephnull: you can cleaninstall if you dont want to do liek 2 upgrades
[03:40] <user013> hey
[03:40] <techqbert> scguy318: that L parameter is tunnel right?
[03:40] <scguy318> techqbert: local tunnel yes
[03:40] <tritium> alephnull: you have to upgrade incrementally
[03:41] <nillll> lol wut?
[03:41] <nillll> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

[03:41] <astro76> !upgrade | alephnull
[03:41] <Undead_Zeus> With GParted, how am I supposed to shorten the ext3 partition?
[03:41] <ubotu> alephnull: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[03:42] <nillll> Undead: what do you mean by shorten? shrink?
[03:42] <Undead_Zeus> Yeah, shrink, resize to a smaller amount
[03:42] <astro76> Undead_Zeus, click partition, click resize, resize it.... the partition has to be unmounted first
[03:42] <nillll> Undead: if thats the case, boot with a linux live cd, and then try it. I believe you need to have the drive unmounted
[03:42] <Undead_Zeus> LOL, ok! thanks
[03:42] <Undead_Zeus> i had a feeling if i unmounted it right now it would reboot!
[03:42] <Undead_Zeus> :P
[03:42] <dutchie86> check the FAQ alephnull but from what i have seen it should go okay
[03:43] <mattycoze> hey guy's i'm having trouble mountin my external hD. there was something else i had to add but i totally forgot... this is my fdisk -l data; /dev/sdb1  * 1  38913 312568641  c W95 FAT32 (LBA
[03:43] <nillll> Undead: it probably won't let you unmount, if its your / drive. use live cd if that happens

[03:48] <Shadow147> oh just plug it into a firewire port
[03:48] <yao> I am playing!
[03:49] <mattycoze> Shadow147 doesn't have a firewire connection... just USB
[03:49] <Shadow147> mattycoze try plugging it into a firewire port

[03:49] <Shadow147> mattycoze ok

[03:50] <yao> yeah!
[03:50] <mattycoze> mmm... well that's not the point here lol
[03:51] <Shadow147> mattycoze well I have it hook up through a firewire port and ubuntu automounted it
[03:51] <PocketBrain> Yo, Konda?
[03:51] <Shadow147> mattycoze well try sudo apt-get install usbmount
[03:52] <mattycoze> Shadow147 ahh thanks - since when did they have a program that did that?
[03:52] <scguy318> mattycoze: If I'm not mistaken, the gnome volume daemon or w/e is supposed to automount
[03:52] <Shadow147> scguy how do I tweak the xorg.conf fire to use GLX and OpenGL
[03:53] <Shadow147> scguy318 how do I tweak the xorg.conf fire to use GLX and OpenGL
[03:53] <mattycoze> scguy318 yeh it used to when i was runnign an earlier version of Ubuntu
[03:53] <scguy318> Shadow147: not totally sure, that's what I know
[03:53] <dutchie86> Shadow147 there is a utility u can install that will do it for you
[03:53] <mattycoze> but i took out the usb once without safe unmounting the drive
[03:53] <EdwardXP> damn thats really hard
[03:53] <scguy318> mattycoze: check SYstem -> Prefs -> Removable Drives and Media I think
[03:53] <mattycoze> and then it didn't work anymore
[03:54] <scguy318> mattycoze: maybe the data on that device needs an fsck
[03:54] <mattycoze> mmm
[03:54] <dutchie86> mattycoze mount it then have a look at dmesg or /var/log/errors i think it is
[03:54] <Shadow147> dutchie86 where can I get the utility

[03:56] <spiffman> astro76 and scguy318, thanks!
[03:56] <dutchie86> mattycoze, yeah if you plug it in, and it doesnt automount because of an error dmesg or the logs should tell you why

[04:04] <K_Dallas> Good evening! One of my major problems running exclusively ubuntu on the laptop is office2007 files.  I know crossover is capable of installing office2003 and f I am not mistaken MS offers something to make office2003 to open office2007 or something of this sort.  My Q: Would it be possble to install office2003 thru crossover office and then install that tool of MS? Thanks
[04:04] <card13> help me please!  Thanks in advanced.
[04:04] <dutchie86> K_Dallas probably, something i would look at the Xover office site for
[04:04] <dutchie86> mattycoze in the dmesg output you pasted before it should show where it mounted before, was there some output missing?
[04:04] <K_Dallas> dutchie86, thanks, i then google their site for that
[04:04] <ajmorris_> K_Dallas: open office can open those office2007 files as well
[04:05] <DrUnKnMuNkY> hi i'm having problems with the menus in gnome. i also have kde installed and the menu is showing the same thing as the kde menus which makes it annoying to access system configuration and whatnot in gnome. anyone know anything about this?
[04:05] <coolbhavi> My Indian Local community booed me out of the irc and flamed me on the mailing list inspite of being an Ubuntu Member
[04:05] <K_Dallas> ajmorris_, really? I am going to try it right away
[04:05] <dutchie86> K_dalla http://www.codeweavers.com/
[04:05] <Jack_Sparrow> K_Dallas: you could try it under wine and see if the tool works there..  I have CO here and I could check it , but not until Monday
[04:05] <dutchie86> *K_Dallas
[04:05] <mattycoze> dutchie86 yeah it goes on forever :p i just pasted the closer stuff... it said something about /dev/sdb1
[04:05] <dutchie86> lol, is there any errors in there about mounting mattycoze?
[04:05] <K_Dallas> Jack_Sparrow, thanks i will try Xover later tonight when i work on my laptop
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> coolbhavi: Things like that usually have two sides

[04:06] <dutchie86> K_Dallas no worries
[04:06] <coolbhavi> I have the proof also
[04:06] <mattycoze> dutchie86 no errors... there's nothing wrong with the HD, i just need a walkthrough the mountin process

It has been a little bit of a learning curve, but it installed cleanly, came right up, and is just a world of difference from my fedora experience.  Thank you v

[04:07] <dutchie86> mattycoze i know there is nothing wrong with your hard disk it could be that if you removed it before it cant mount to the mount point where it wants to and has a hissy fit
[04:07] <Jack_Sparrow> card13: do you have livecd.?
[04:07] <robdig> dwilson805: glad to have you on ubuntu...hope you like it
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> card13: You can also use gparted Livecd
[04:08] <mattycoze> dutchie86 kk,
[04:08] <coolbhavi> I am fed up of our communities' excessive flaming
[04:08] <sleepwal1> hey you guys...does anyone know if the ati 9800 will work in xubuntu 7.10 with my current samsung 22' LCD which is fuzzy.  Can anyone help?
[04:08] <card13> I do, I'm trying some tools off of Heirens Bootcd
[04:08] <dutchie86> mattycoze create a folder in /media called test123 then in terminal type mount /dev/sdb1 /media/test123
[04:08] <K_Dallas> tuxthepenguin533, if i remember correctly it all depends on your usage and the files you manipulate normally, big or small, lots of small or not much, etc
[04:08] <tuxthepenguin533> !reiser
[04:08] <ubotu> reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> coolbhavi: your conversation is offtopic.. we are here to help with ubuntu related problems, not some other irc channel
[04:08] <dutchie86> sleepwal1 you installed the restricted drivers?
[04:09] <sleepwal1> I jhavent purchased the card
[04:09] <sleepwal1> I have an old nvidia card
[04:09] <coolbhavi> ok
[04:09] <dutchie86> Shadow147 so when you tick the desktop effects and you restart what happens?
[04:09] <Jack_Sparrow> card13: Hirens is good, but I thought their gparted was dated.
[04:09] <sleepwal1> and the drivers are fine. Yes I have restircted drivers
[04:09] <card13> I'm using extended fdisk
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> card13: May I assume you have a second pc available
[04:10] <card13> I just want it to hold a partition longer than 2 secconds
[04:10] <Shadow147> dutchie86 well let me get compiz fusion
[04:10] <card13> right, I was trying to install it on a test system
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> card13: Do you make a partiton and then it disappears?
[04:11] <mattycoze> dutchie86 kk, now it asks me to specify the filesystem type
[04:11] <mattycoze> i think its fat 32
[04:11] <card13> after the apply, then reboot, yes
[04:11] <Jack_Sparrow> card13: ide or sata...  HDA or sda
[04:11] <card13> ide, Maxtor 80gb
[04:11] <dutchie86> mattycoze  then you need to do a mount /dev/sdb1 /media/test123 -t vfat
[04:11] <Jack_Sparrow> card13: If you boot the live ubuntu cd and tell it to use the entire drive does it work
[04:11] <Shadow147> where do I get xgl
[04:11] <dutchie86> mattycoze, that should, touch would work
[04:12] <dutchie86> Shadow147 it should be installed
[04:12] <Netham45> can I install Ubuntu to a USB memory drive?
[04:12] <dwilson805> with ubuntu, how do I open firewall holes?  I haven't found the firewall config file yet....
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Netyes
[04:12] <Netham45> ok
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Netham45: yes
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Netham45: try pendrive linux
[04:12] <card13> I haven't tried that yet, the server version is install only, and so I started Heiren's rigght away, so I could put Windows server 2003 on it instaed
[04:13] <Netham45> Ok
[04:13] <dmitrig01> Problem: my CD drive is screwed up
[04:13] <dmitrig01> any other options?
[04:13] <Shadow147> dutchie86 ok I have my xorg.conf up
[04:13] <dmitrig01> my CD drive on the destination computer
[04:13] <linux88> dwilson805 i think you need to look into iptables
[04:13] <dmitrig01> not my precious lappy
[04:13] <mattycoze> dutchie86 yeah dude i think it worked
[04:13] <mattycoze> what was the -t function all about?
[04:13] <p1> Could somebody give me the factoid for how to copy an installation to a new disk?
[04:13] <linux88> dwilson805 are you using firestarter
[04:13] <Jack_Sparrow> card13: try ubuntu live and tell it to use the entire drive.. it will tell us alot
[04:13] <robdig> dwilson805: its in iptables. if you want a gui frontend, install firestarter
[04:13] <Shadow147> dutchie86 and accoring to my board it's a vesa board
[04:13] <mattycoze> cause that's all that i was missing from when i did it first
[04:14] <dutchie86> mattycoze, that cool, now browse to ur test123 folder, the -t was to specify the type :)
[04:14] <Shadow147> dutchie86 and accoring to my drive is a nvidia
[04:14] <card13> extended fdisk is on 7% of trying to make a partition so, can I cancle it without a problem?
[04:14] <dmitrig01> is there some way I can install ubuntu on my mac machine without access to the cd drive
[04:14] <dwilson805> linux88: indeed iptables config files are what I am trying to find...
[04:14] <Jack_Sparrow> !clone | p1:
[04:14] <ubotu> p1:: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[04:14] <p1> Jack_Sparrow: thank you!
[04:14] <linux88> dwilson805 ok. well like robdig said   apt-get install firestarter and you can open any ports u want
[04:14] <Jack_Sparrow> card13: you should be able to.. you already have soft errors..
[04:14] <mattycoze> dutchie86 kk, is there a way i can change the permissions so that I can have full read/write over the drive?
[04:14] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[04:15] <card13> ok, just a minute
[04:15] <dwilson805> ah am installing firestarter now
[04:15] <dutchie86> mattycoze if you dont have full read write it means it was unsafely removed last time probably
[04:15] <Netham45> ok, I have a laptop w/o a HD, and a 1GB USB memory stick I can boot from. Is there a Linux version I can use that will give me wireless internet and... internet?
[04:16] <cheeby> hi.  is there a gnome/ubuntu equivalent to yakuake?
[04:16]  * cheeby new to ubuntu/gnome.
[04:16] <scguy318> Netham45: version, or distro? :P
[04:16] <mattycoze> kk so i'd just have to go gksudo umount /dev/test123 right?
[04:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Netham45: I would use ubuntu gutsy live and setup your usb as persistent drive
[04:16] <dutchie86> mattycoze try safely removing it now and letting it automount again or safely remove it and mount it with the same command as before but with the -F(or f cant rember exactly which one, check the man page) switch to force it,
[04:16] <scguy318> Netham45: Ubuntu can, possibly with the help of ndiswrapper
[04:16] <card13> you want me to install it right or what in the live cd do you want me to do, I'm confused
[04:17] <Netham45> ok
[04:17] <linux88> when i go to www.whatismyip.com it is giving me i believe my dslam ip, and not a lan ip like 192.168.1.., so i was wondering why is that
[04:17] <Jack_Sparrow> card13: yes, boot live cd and do full install
[04:17] <card13> sorry, I'm still somewhat new to linux
[04:17] <scguy318> linux88: because of NAT
[04:17] <dutchie86> linux88 that would because of network address translation
[04:17] <dmitrig01> I thought I created a live CD but my computer hates it
[04:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Netham45: you may still need to tweek the wireless, but at least with persistent mode .. things you do will be saved on the usb
[04:18] <Netham45> ok
[04:18] <robdig> cheeby: maybe tilda?
[04:18] <linux88> dutchie86 scguy318 is that a problem?
[04:18] <dwilson805> I see - I didnt understand that ubuntu comes up by default with no firewall running.  I was looking around for config files that didnt yet exist.
[04:18] <Netham45> wait, does Gutsy fit in 1gb?
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !firewall
[04:18] <cheeby> tilda.  never heard of it.  apt-cache search tilda?
[04:18] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[04:18] <astro76> linux88, also 192.168.x.x is one of 3 private address ranges, these are not allowed and not valid on the public internet
[04:19] <Shadow147> I thats another thing I like about ubuntu it has a firewall bult-in
[04:19] <Jack_Sparrow> dwilson805: if you are not trying to specifically open a port, leave it to the os..  If you doubt it works.. try grc.com   shields-up test of ports
[04:19] <p1> Actually I want to do something more - to copy my hard disk to another disk including all the contents, to boot it in the same machine instead of the original disk.  I tried dd from the original to an ext3-formatted external disk, then dd from the external disk to a formatted disk.  But I get grub error 22 (No such partition).
[04:19] <robdig> cheeby: not sure, saw something on wikipedia that said it was the same function for gnome as yakuake
[04:19] <dmitrig01> any help?
[04:19] <Flannel> Shadow147: thats all linux, actually.  iptables is built into the kernel
[04:19] <K_Dallas> Q: under  XP I am used to download a HOSTS file and block many of the irritating web contents.  How can I do it under Ubuntu and Q2: what is the locate packge for ubuntu, thanks
[04:19] <linux88> astro76 i see, so it's getting the ip from the server im goig through to get to the internet?
[04:20] <estupendocero> I'm about to upgrade my memory card to an e-GeForce FX5200. Is there anything I need to do before I plug it in?
[04:20] <{Nathan}> Is there a way I can add null data to the end of a file to make it exactly 512kb? It's about 505.4kb right now.
[04:20] <dutchie86> linux88 no that is how 90% of networks if not more work these days
[04:20] <astro76> linux88, that IP is the one your ISP gives you
[04:20] <Shadow147> Flannel thanks for the info
[04:20] <cheeby> robdig, installing now.  will let you know.  funny, I can't live without yakuake on this new system now...
[04:20] <Flannel> Shadow147: didn't mean to ruin it for you or anything ;)
[04:20] <linux88> astro76 oh, ok so thats some how a static ip?
[04:20] <Jack_Sparrow> estupendocero: perhaps set your video driver to vesa generic.. unless your old card was nvidia
[04:20] <astro76> linux88, you have a router?
[04:20] <Shadow147> Flannel no it's ok
[04:21] <linux88> astro76 yes i do
[04:21] <robdig> cheeby: hope it works for you
[04:21] <astro76> linux88, it's most likely dynamic
[04:21] <dwilson805> Jack_Sparrow: this computer sits on a lan inside a firewall.  However, it coexists with windows machines, including one my son uses, and I don't trust him not to get owned...  so I want the firewall up, but I will open just a few holes for services such as mysql
[04:21] <Shadow147> Flannel it helps learning all I can ablout linux
[04:21] <linux88> astro76 ya i use dhcp
[04:21] <Jack_Sparrow> dwilson805: firestarter or guarddog will do the trick
[04:21] <linux88> astro76 im just trying o figure out if someone somehow got that ip, could they scan my local network?
[04:22] <dwilson805> JUack_Sparrow: yes, I installed firestarter and am adding policy rules as we speak
[04:22] <card13> ok, when I click next for step 5, it tries to start partitioner but that's it, no error nothing
[04:22] <astro76> linux88, your router will block everything unless you forward ports
[04:22] <Jack_Sparrow> card13: wait for it..
[04:22] <cheeby> robdig, well not bad.  F1 fires it up.
[04:22] <Jack_Sparrow> card13: It sometimes takes awhile..
[04:22] <cheeby> yakuake works, but not as well as it does on kde.
[04:22] <dutchie86> linux88 if u have a firewall which most modem/routers do ur fine
[04:22] <linux88> astro76 dutchie86 ya it is
[04:23] <card13> on a 1.4 with 1gb of ram?
[04:23] <estupendocero> Jack_Sparrow: So, set my video driver to vesa generic, and then after I plug it in edit xorg.conf or whatever?
[04:23] <card13> it shows the status bar it hits 100% and goes away
[04:23] <linux88> astro76 dutchie86  how can i check how many server i go through before i get to the internet
[04:23] <card13> that's all partitioner does
[04:23] <estupendocero> Jack_Sparrow: there's a configuration utility, right?
[04:24] <Jack_Sparrow> estupendocero  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:24] <skyfalcon866> does ubuntu take advantage of sse sse2
[04:24] <estupendocero> Jack_Sparrow: cool, thanks. Wish me luck!
[04:24] <wers> how do I make my fonts look like this http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/
[04:24] <wers> :D
[04:24] <astro76> linux88, you can trace the path between you and a server with traceroute, e.g. traceroute google.com
[04:25] <cheeby> robdig, seems to be ok.  thanks. ;)
[04:25]  * cheeby wanders over for a scotch
[04:25] <robdig> cheeby: np
[04:25] <card13> how long can it take to load the partitioner
[04:25] <dmitrig01> help!
[04:25] <linux88> astro76 ok, but how can I tell which servers im going through are form my network,say att, until i get ou into the open?
[04:26] <Jack_Sparrow> card13: If you have a failing hard drive, it may never come up
[04:26] <cheeby> in gnome is there a way to make the windows rollup/shade on the wheel mouse?
[04:26] <astro76> linux88, it will probably be clear from the results
[04:26] <linux88> astro76 ok
[04:27] <Undead_Zeus> is Ubuntu a good OS to run something such as a dedicated game server on?
[04:27] <Undead_Zeus> or a web server
[04:27] <card13> it's brand new, I'm going to do it manually what do I need to do for the partitions?
[04:27] <scguy318> Undead_Zeus: depends on your needs, but sure
[04:27] <Undead_Zeus> i haven't really heard of ubuntu before until my friend introduced it to me
[04:27] <astro76> Undead_Zeus, sure, any linux distro would suffice
[04:27] <linux88> astro76 yes it was thanks. i always knew how traceroute worked but never used it ;)
[04:27] <Jack_Sparrow> card13: root /home and a swap
[04:28] <card13> what should the sizes be?
[04:28] <dwilson805> I turned the firewall back off, but I cant seem to connect to the mysql server running on the box.  I can connect to it locally, but not over the lan.
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> card13: anything you want.. 10 gig min for ub   no more that 2 for swap
[04:28] <neil_d> I am looking for some example python script that use gnome-print, can anyone help ?
[04:29] <astro76> neil_d, tried google code search?
[04:29] <astro76> neil_d, http://www.google.com/codesearch
[04:29] <skyfalcon866> should i use 64bit ubuntu or 32bit
[04:29] <neil_d> astro76, will try
[04:29] <scguy318> skyfalcon866: depends on what CPU you have
[04:29] <skyfalcon866> sempron 3800+
[04:30] <operator011> Can an USB mass storage drive w/ NTFS filesystem be mounted in Ubuntu-server 7.10 ?
[04:30] <card13> should swap be primary or logical?
[04:30] <WGGMk> what is the command to change the disk volume label?
[04:30] <WGGMk> of a usb thumbdrive or external usb harddrive
[04:30] <rich1> hi.  i want to download chess games in pgn format.  all these downloads are .zip files, though.  how do i open zip files in linux?
[04:30] <WGGMk> card13 swap should be swap
[04:31] <scguy318> rich1: using File Roller
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> card13: You can make it logical.. but the installer does all of that except the extra /home partition
[04:31] <scguy318> rich1: or just double click
[04:31] <card13> winzip can do it
[04:31] <scguy318> card13: well we're striving for native free apps :)
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> rich1: 7zip
[04:31] <operator011> Does usbmount have to be invoked maually once installed?
[04:32] <rich1> Jack_Sparrow: what is 7zip?
[04:32] <Jack_Sparrow> rich1: get/install with synaptic... or apt-get or aptitude
[04:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !7zip
[04:32] <skyfalcon866> are some parts of the kernel non free
[04:32] <ubotu> Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[04:33] <EdCorcoran> I need some help with setting my resolution to widescreen.
[04:33] <fihi09> supports .rpm aslwell
[04:33] <fihi09> as well*
[04:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !rpm
[04:33] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[04:33] <linux88> checking for GTK - version >= 1.0.0... no
[04:33] <linux88>    what the correct package name for this? i already tried apt-get install gtk

[04:33] <EdCorcoran> I have two monitors, a standard LCD monitor that I run at 1600x1200. I also have a LCD TV with DVI input that runs at 1366x768.
[04:34] <fihi09> uhhh i meant 7zip can read rpm archives ;s
[04:34] <Jack_Sparrow> EdCorcoran: On the same video card or sererate as in onboard for one and plugin card for the other
[04:34] <EdCorcoran> I switch the cable between the two monitors when I want to switch, I don't have a dual-head setukp.
[04:34] <p1> I want to copy my hard disk to another disk including all the contents, and boot it in the same machine instead of the original disk.  I tried dd from the original to an ext3-formatted external disk, then dd from the external disk to a formatted disk.  But I get grub error 22 (No such partition).
[04:34] <z9999> We would like to retain our working install of ubuntu 6.06 and install ubuntu 7.04 as an optional boot. Currently we have the hard drive configured as follows:
[04:34] <z9999> sda1 99GB ext3  34GB's used
[04:34] <z9999> sda2
[04:34] <z9999> sda5  1GB swap
[04:34] <z9999> We would like to 2 10GB ext3 partitions, keeping the current install on one of them and later installing ubuntu 7.04 on the second 10GB partition. Additionally, we would like to keep our existing data contained in /home, but make it a separate 79GB partition allowing it to be mounted from a boot of either OS install, and retain the current 1GB swap.
[04:34] <z9999> Can this be done easily? We are aware we would need to use gparted but would appreciate any help in providing instructions on the sequence of operations needed to accomplish this safely and properly.
[04:34] <dutchie86> linux88 do a tracert or traceroute
[04:35] <riotkittie> uh.
[04:35] <EdCorcoran> Jack_Sparrow: They are on the same card, but not at hte same time.
[04:35] <astro76> z9999, ugh.. didn't we answer this last night
[04:35] <dutchie86> mattycoze any luck with ur automounting?
[04:35] <Jack_Sparrow> EdCorcoran: I dont do duals but others here can probably help..
[04:35] <Jack_Sparrow> !dualhead
[04:35] <riotkittie> is my brain lagging or was that the most obnoxious copy & paste evar
[04:35] <ubotu> Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[04:35] <EdCorcoran> They aren't dual.
[04:36] <EdCorcoran> I use them separately.
[04:36] <skyfalcon866> are some parts of the kernel non free
[04:36] <linux88> dutchie86 huh?
[04:36] <EdCorcoran> I just switch from one to the other.
[04:36] <EdCorcoran> One is for normal computer, the other for watching movies, etc.
[04:36] <astro76> z9999, just boot the livecd, use gparted to repartion as you want, and install 7.10
[04:36] <dutchie86> linux88 for ur question about how far to the internet
[04:36] <eyemean> hello does anyone have issues with rainlendar not starting up sometimes?
[04:36] <wladek> hi.. is there a way to hash a remote windows password so i don't have to hardcode it in plaintext in my fstab file for a smbfs mount?
[04:37] <astro76> z9999, and of course backup first ;)
[04:37] <linux88> dutchie86 oh yes i know
[04:37] <EdCorcoran> I've spent some time messing around in my xorg.conf, but I haven't gotten it to work.
[04:37]  * cheeby is going to bed
[04:37] <WGGMk> How do you change the VOLUME LABEL of an external USB disk?? command line plz
[04:37] <cheeby> later all
[04:37] <dutchie86> see cheeby
[04:38] <dutchie86> wGGMk have a look at the man page of fdisk

[04:38]  * cheeby has a newborn in da house....
[04:38] <mattycoze> dutchie86 noluck with the autoumounting lol, i took it out after i thought i had unmounted it and i can't mount it again
[04:38] <riotkittie> congrats cheeby
[04:38] <card13> I got all my partitions setup and went through the install but it couldn't creat the swap partition
[04:38] <rich1> scguy318: i tried double clicking and get notice to choose another program, none of which work.
[04:38] <Luxo> hola ahi alguien q me ayude XD
[04:39] <alyx> hey whats the command to bring up eth0
[04:39] <z9999> astro76: We don't see how we get the /home moved to a seperate partition and how to assure that it would be accessable under both the existing OS as well as a new one.
[04:39] <dutchie86> mattycoze mount it with the commands from before and then u the command umount /dev/sdb1
[04:39] <cheeby> riotkittie, thanks.  but I need to sleep when he does.
[04:39] <cheeby> :
[04:39] <cheeby> later
[04:39] <alyx> configure by dhcp

[04:44] <linux88> Jack_Sparrow,  theres like a million
[04:44] <dutchie86> alyx you would need to run it as root
[04:44] <z9999> astro76: For some reason I cannot access that site. We tried last night, and it is still not accessable here in Thailand.
[04:45] <dutchie86> so if you wanted to script it would be ifconfig eht0 up; dhclient eth0 alyx
[04:45] <dutchie86> alyx that is for bash shell anyway
[04:45] <alyx> right on thanks
[04:45] <linux88> Wow i cant believe i cant install xtraceroute form source! is there a .deb for XTRACEROUTE?

[04:52] <pg> I want to change my hard disk without re-installing Ubuntu.  I tried dd to an intermediate disk (formatted with ext3), then onto the new disk (also formatted).  As far as I can tell, the contents are copied correctly.  But when I boot, I get grub error 22 (no such partition).
[04:52] <kitche> pg: did you put the partitions the same on the second disk
[04:52] <ChuckFu> does anyone see a website at www.millerworld.us
[04:53] <r3n0c> is there any way to modify the settings for any fot he screensavers which come with ubuntu 7.10?

[04:53] <Shadow_X> what is the command to run the X config script in text mode?
[04:54] <zetheroo> can I open CMYK PSD's in Gimp?
[04:54] <r3n0c> startx?
[04:54] <scguy318> Shadow_X: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:54] <Shadow_X> no, Im on a friends pc. somehow ubuntu screwed up the xorg.conf so i removed the original. now i need to regenerate a healthy xorg.conf
[04:54] <linux88> why when using traceroute i get 7.*** 8.*** 9.*** and so on
[04:54] <scguy318> Shadow_X: if you want to regenerate defaults
[04:55] <scguy318> Shadow_X: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[04:55] <Shadow_X> thanks scguy318
[04:55] <pg> kitche: no, I did not copy the swap partition or a partition marked as "unknown" on the old disk
[04:55] <scguy318> linux888: at those hops no reply was received
[04:55] <pg> kitche: I suppose I have to copy those too, in the same order and exactly the same sizes?
[04:55] <scguy318> pg: check your menu.lst probably
[04:56] <r3n0c> is it possible to modify screensaver settings?
[04:56] <scguy318> pg: and such, too tired to say more
[04:56] <scguy318> r3n0c: yes

[04:57] <clay3482> is there anyway to make a link in ubuntu without the OS adding "LINK TO" to the link?
[04:57] <scguy318> r3n0c: not sure, GNOME screensaver is kinda feature-less compared to X screensaver
[04:57] <scguy318> f3n0c: perhaps something in gconf?
[04:57] <kitche> pg: well the swap and stuff doesn't but as long as the main partitions are correct you should be fine
[04:57] <r3n0c> just run gconf?
[04:57] <scguy318> r3n0c: gconf-editor
[04:58] <scguy318> r3n0c: might be a GConf setting
[04:58] <r3n0c> kk
[04:58] <pg> kitche: how about if I list the old disk's UUID in the menu.lst?  I bet that is the problem

[05:02] <z9999> One additional question, Am I correct in assuming that disk fragmentation does not occur in a Linux file system similar to windows, so it would not be necessary to defrag the drive prior to using gparted?

[05:03] <Jean-Awesome> A question: I discovered upon installing 7.10 in a dual boot configuration that my BIOS does not support booting after a certain cylinder limit, as GRUB always gave me an error 18 when attempting to boot to Ubuntu.
[05:03] <Jean-Awesome> So, I was told that a solution was to simply install with /boot in a 500MB area at the beginning of the disk from an old diagnostic partition. So, during the install, I told the partitioner to create a small partition at the beginning of the drive containing with mount point /boot/ and a large partiton about 70GB in with mountpoint / (I also, of course, created a swap partition). Upon booting in to
[05:03] <Jean-Awesome>  Ubuntu GRUB once again gave me an error 18. Have I done something incorrectly?
[05:03] <game> pg:then why dont you install it i had liek 5 os's on my mp

[05:04] <juano__> why do flash animations always get "on top" of other things in a web site ??
[05:05] <idiosync> whats the command to restart a service fedora is service smb restart

[05:05] <game> LINUX IS THE SHIT!
[05:05] <pg> game: I want my old configs, modifications to various files in /etc and /boot to be preserved, as well as package selections to be copied.  I figured it would be somple to copy than hunt for which files I have changed.
[05:05] <newb-ubuntu> ok, I'm downloading it
[05:06] <newb-ubuntu> what do I do once it's downloaded?
[05:06] <clay3482> scguy - what I have is a 1 TeraByte drive that has a lot of home video files on it - I am making links to the videos and putting them in folders a - z - it is a pain renaming every link to remove the "link to" that is added to each file once the links is made
[05:07] <Loaxes> Anyone have a nice guide that'll show me how to install a windows partition on a ubuntu machine?
[05:07] <gavin__> hi all

[05:07] <Loaxes> Thanks tony
[05:07] <game> pg: you can back up and split your drive in 3 or 4 then put windows then ubuntu on it and just do a dule boot. and when you want to upgrade you can use the other partitions
[05:07] <clay3482> in Windows you could use a tweak that would let you make it now add "shortcut to" on every link
[05:08] <clay3482> not add
[05:08] <game> you could use WINE HQ

[05:09] <estupendocero> okay, so I upgraded my video card. I hand-edited xorg.conf to set the driver as "vga", installed the card, booted the machine, and it kicked me into command line. When I $sudo dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg, it doesn't seem to recognize the arguments. Now I'm stuck in command line.
[05:09] <gavin__> is there any point-of-sale software in the ubuntu repo
[05:09] <juano__> hello everyone, why is it that once i install flash in firefox, it works fine, except in a website it seems to get over other text in the website not letting you being able to see or click stuff below it ?
[05:09] <Vandalite> so can anyone explain this one? I have two computers, (the first one is a PS3 running gutsy, and a windows pc. If i use the Xvnc server on the gutsy box and connect to it, i get a split second gdm login screen, then it crashes and i get disconnected. (Xvnc4 using xdmcp to connect to itself). If i use cygwin and it's xserver, it connects, and i can get a desktop.
[05:09] <Vandalite> what's goin on here?
[05:09] <clay3482> is there anyway to make a link in ubuntu without the OS adding "LINK TO" to the link?
[05:10] <game> pg: then you can reformat then install ubuntu and use a v- box and your good

[05:12] <Loaxes> Okay, those guides aren't helping me with dual booting. I have Ubuntu installed already, and want to use xp aswell, not the other way around, which is what the guide tells me how to do, it seems.
[05:13] <Kl4m> clay3482: How do you do it so it adds "link to"?
[05:13] <Kl4m> pg: virtualbox probably
[05:13] <game> pg: virtualbox_1.5.2-25433_Ubuntu_feisty_i386
[05:13] <n2diy_> Loaxes:  so go ask the XP folks?
[05:13] <Loaxes> there are xp folks?
[05:13] <Hanyou> Loaxes: From my experience you usually have Windows installed first then you install your other OS so that GRUB can find the other partion and configure it during the install.

[05:15] <clay3482> i have close to Video 1,000 files I am linking - is there anyway to link more than 1 file at a time without the OS adding "LINK TO" to the link - because using thunar or Nautilus and I go to the folder and select 30 or so files and right click then choose make link it will add "Link to" on every link.  It is a pain having to go back and rename every file without the "LINK TO" added - I can do it but it is a pain - I was just wondering i
[05:15] <NKD-> Quick question. I am running Ubuntu 7.10 with a custom kernel. I have the appropriate nvidia drivers installed and can run OpenGL apps with no problem. Gnome however will not allow me to enable the extra desktop effects without the restricted driver. (Which I am already using.) I cannot use the restricted driver manager because I am using a custom kernel.
[05:15] <clay3482> f their was an easy way to make the OS default to not add "LINK TO" when making a link.?
[05:16] <Kl4m> clay3482: drag them while holding ALT, then click make link
[05:16] <estupendocero> so when I type sudo dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg, it returns the error: conflicting actions -e (--control) and -r (--remove). What's going on?
[05:16] <dutchie86> NKD- probably need to muck around with your xorg config

[05:16] <pg> game: I don't need virtualization.  I have an installation of Ubuntu on an old disk and I want to move it to a new disk so everything is the same.
[05:16] <estupendocero> I'm stuck in CLI till I figure it out
[05:16] <Hanyou> Loaxes: I beleive that on the GRUB website there is a how to on reconfiguring GRUB if you have done something like what you did. Then again that was some time ago. I would just backup my Ubuntu install and go at it again.
[05:16] <crdlb> infurnus: what exactly do you mean by "compiz"? ccsm?
[05:16] <Kl4m> clay3482: do it in another folder
[05:16] <clay3482> cool KL4m - thanks
[05:16] <Loaxes> Kay.
[05:16] <Loaxes> That's annoying.
[05:16] <infurnus> crdlb, yes ccsm is half in spanish half in engilsh i suppose from what didnt translate
[05:17] <dutchie86> game you might be able to do to it using dd but otherwise you need to look at a commercial product such as Acronis

[05:18] <infurnus> crdlb, ran that from terminal and it popped up in spanish
[05:18] <Nematocyst> pg, essentially, you copy all the partitions, put grub on the MBR of the new drive, and update /etc/fstab on it using the new partition uuids

[05:19] <pg> game: it's not Debian, but Gnome

[05:19] <Vandalite> idiosync: what service?
[05:19] <idiosync> smb
[05:20] <pg> game: well, that's what I'm asking :-0
[05:20] <Vandalite> sudo /etc/init.d/smb restart
[05:20] <Vandalite> i think...
[05:20] <n2diy> NKD-: If you had fatal errors with your kernel, you wouldn't be booting, what else does it tell you?
[05:21] <idiosync> fedora has service smb restart also chkconfig smb on etc

[05:21] <infurnus> ccsm showing mostly spanish ran LC_ALL=C ccsm its still showing in spanish any other ideas?
[05:21] <dutchie86> idiosync yeah service is just an alias command and chkconfig is to see which run level the services are in
[05:21] <game> pg:  google it or do ask.com  that works all the tiem
[05:21] <Vandalite> idiosync: then that command should do it.

I cut tha folder and pasted it to my documents so I could access it with windows. When i tried, it said access denied. It also said the folder was 0kb big. I went back into Ubuntu and looked at it, and it turned everything into one index.dat file that is 60 GB large. I dont know how

[05:52] <dwilson805> wn: if it is sata, it will probably be /dev/sda

[05:52] <kiyoshi> yes
[05:52] <nnotonekind> I REALLY need to find the person that was helping me get my files back after the PC recovery
[05:53] <kiyoshi> flash worked perfectyly for me before

[05:53] <kiyoshi> but i reinstalled linux to a bigger partition
[05:53] <vvn> dwilson805: and IDE?

[05:54] <Fekall> anyone have some good ideas about adding modelines in xorg?

[05:56] <vvn> seems its sda...thats what dmesg shows
[05:56] <kiyoshi> again
[05:56] <ArthurArchnix> kiyoshi: First thing I'd check is that the plugin was installed correctly. Chances are you installed it interactively through a website. You need to go into synaptic, search for flash, completely remove it. Then completely reinstall it. Be sure that mozilla is closed. Then report back.
[05:56] <estupendocero> http://paste.stgraber.org/
[05:56] <pjeide> Fekall: gtf

[05:57] <kiyoshi> i did
[05:57] <kiyoshi> it didnt work
[05:57] <Hanyou> Oops slow at tpping today.

[05:57] <pg> why does blkid say my drives have the same UUID, and how can I correct that?

[05:57] <kiyoshi> alot of sites
[05:57] <Fekall> go to forum?
[05:57] <tyronepolleri> does anyone know how to change themes in compiz?

[06:04] <kiyoshi>  flash used to work for me now its fucked up
[06:04] <ArthurArchnix> kiyoshi: I'm going to be helping nnotonekind for a bit here, but if you want to try some thinigs without me use google and search for "flash no sound ubuntu" there's a bug on the subject with links to a workaround.
[06:04] <Fekall> pjeide, are you still here
[06:05] <Fekall> so I add that into my config in the section Monitor...right
[06:05] <ArthurArchnix> nnotonekind: Sure. So you are dual booting widows XP and ubuntu 7.1?
[06:05] <nnotonekind> no
[06:05] <nnotonekind> I am booting ubuntu from a cd
[06:06] <w30> I have my laptop set up for dhcp and my internet server give me three name servers but they are in the wrong order; How can I reverse the order for listing in resolv.conf automatically? Is it possible to do anything besides edit resolv.conf every time I connect to the net?
[06:06] <kiyoshi> well that didnt freaking work
[06:06] <kiyoshi> now i have to reinstall
[06:06] <krux0> how can i install i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc on my amd64
[06:06] <TigranG> w30: cant you change it in network-manager?
[06:07] <thor> w30: it isn't necessary....they are searched until one is found that works
[06:07] <krux0> i need the tool chain for i686 because I'm trying to cross compile
[06:07] <w30> TigranG: no, it gets overwritten by dhcp.
[06:07] <ArthurArchnix> nnotonekind: Sorry, I know someone was helping you. But I don't understand the backstory. Can you tell me about your setup and what happened. I see what you've tried, but I still need some more info.
[06:07] <nnotonekind> well right now, what I want to do
[06:07] <ArthurArchnix> kiyoshi: What sounds mixer are you using?
[06:07] <nnotonekind> is to get Ubuntu to let me access my C drive
[06:08] <thor> w30: but if you really want to...the nameservers are stored in /etc/resolv.conf
[06:08] <nnotonekind> when I go "places/computer" it just has file system
[06:08] <ArthurArchnix> nnotonekind: From the live dc right? And keep the explanations on one line.
[06:08] <nnotonekind> yes, sorry.
[06:08] <w30> thor: it takes forever to resolve names when it has to go through all three names to get to the active name server.
[06:08] <thor> w30: it can be edited with gedit or vi but has to be edited as root
[06:08] <kiyoshi> alsa i think
[06:08] <kiyoshi> ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave is what comes up when trying to run flash
[06:09] <Fezzler> The Mhz setting on my video never stays set.  I change it to 97 mHz but at each boot up it's back to 50 mHz?
[06:09] <ArthurArchnix> nnotonekind: ok... when when you copied those files over did you do anything special? Or just boot the live cd and copy the files?
[06:09] <kiyoshi> great i gotta reinstall
[06:09] <Fezzler> Makes screen grainy instead of smooth
[06:09] <kiyoshi> now everything is really fucked
[06:09] <pjeide> Fekall: Yes
[06:09] <ArthurArchnix> kiyoshi: Go reinstall then. You're too impatient for me to help you.
[06:09] <w30> thor: name resolving is lightning fast if I just use the last of the three name servers but slow as hell if I use all three
[06:09] <nnotonekind> I booted the live cd, cut the files, and then pasted them into "my documents". that's all.
[06:09] <Fekall> ok...then I added "1680x1050_60"
[06:10] <pjeide> no
[06:10] <thor> w30: did you see my info about editing /etc/resolv.conf?
[06:10] <pjeide> did you run gtf?
[06:10] <Fekall> into the subsection display
[06:10] <Fekall> yes
[06:10] <pjeide> ok
[06:10] <Fekall> I did
[06:10] <ArthurArchnix> nnotonekind: But otherwise, it's an entirely XP system? That's the only thing on there?
[06:10] <pjeide> change "1680x1050_60" to the name of your display
[06:10] <Fekall> and added this to my config in monitor section
[06:10] <bomanizer> so... anybody using the lowlatency kernel? I'm having hibernate issues...
[06:10] <pjeide> or device.. i cant remember
[06:10] <Fekall> in both sections
[06:10] <nnotonekind> Do you mean the only operating system? if so than yes.
[06:10] <pjeide> Fekall: I am no expert, sorry..
[06:10] <w30> thor: yeah, that works good but every time I boot I have to re-edit resolv.conf cause dhcp over writes it.
[06:11] <Fekall> moreso than I am ...I really apprectiate your help
[06:11] <Flannel> bomanizer: You might have more luck in #ubuntustudio
[06:11] <ArthurArchnix> nnotonekind: Home or Pro?
[06:11] <bomanizer> k htx
[06:11] <bomanizer> erm
[06:11] <nnotonekind> Home I think. Or Media Center of thats an option.
[06:11] <thor> w30: where you define the network card you should be able to define the servers...that should turn off the updates
[06:11] <astro76> nnotonekind, media center is pro
[06:12] <w30> thor: I suppose I will have to try a cron job to do it but I was hoping for something else.
[06:12] <thor> w30: I don't use gnome...xfce...so I don't know where to find it in gnome
[06:12] <astro76> nnotonekind, pro plus the media center stuff ;)
[06:12] <ArthurArchnix> Hmm... well, tell you what. Gutsy has this thing called ntfs-3g that I've used loads to read and write from ntfs. You can see your files with the Ubuntu live cd? That is, you can see them and open them?
[06:12] <nnotonekind> haha. alright.
[06:12] <thor> w30: you don't need a cron job...it is possible to not update from the dhcp server
[06:12] <Flannel> ArthurArchnix: you have been able to read ntfs by default for many years
[06:12] <ArthurArchnix> astro76: Thanks... was wondering about encrypted "my documents" preventing a sensible write.
[06:13] <mwansa> hmm, gnome main menu fails to open so when i run alacarte i get :ImportError: no module named glade. just not sure to what package i should install..i seem to have all the packages
[06:14] <thor> ArthurArchnix: does the live CD support ntfs partitions?
[06:14] <ArthurArchnix> Flannel: You have a point, or maybe want to step in? I'm no expert on NTFS like you, so if you'd like to help I'd be glad to step aside.
[06:15] <ArthurArchnix> thor: Yes. At least, I'm sure it has read. I'm not sure if the live cd mounts ntfs FS's as r/w... I'd hope not.
[06:15] <ArthurArchnix> :)
[06:15] <nnotonekind> For what its worth, I was able to see the C drive the first two times I booted Ubuntu. But this time I loaded it, got a Daemon error, and cant see my C drive
[06:15] <mwansa> hmm, gnome main menu fails to open so when i run alacarte i get :ImportError: no module named glade. just not sure to what package i should install..i seem to have all the packages
[06:15] <thor> ArthurArchnix right...I know it reads them, but I don't know about writes
[06:15] <feixuexiao> 有人在吗
[06:15] <astro76> !cn | feixuexiao
[06:15] <ubotu> feixuexiao: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw  或者 #ubuntu-hk
[06:16] <thor> ArthurArchnix the restore would have been ntfs, and the hard drive ntfs, but it sounds like the write by the live cd may have scrambled the drive
[06:16] <ArthurArchnix> thor: I haven't even figured out why nnotonekind is booting an ubuntu cd yet :)
[06:17] <thor> ArthurArchnix that crossed my mind too
[06:17] <sleepwalk> you guys what's the command to start the auto program that congigs my X11 xorg config file
[06:17] <glassface> I want to remote login to my office system from home.  what software is required for this.. both r running ubuntu 7.10
[06:17] <ArthurArchnix> nnotonekind: Are you able to boot windows?
[06:17] <nnotonekind> A friend recommended it as a solution.  Yes I can boot windows just fine.
[06:17] <thor> sleepwalk:sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[06:18] <ArthurArchnix> nnotonekind: If you can boot windows, can you not log into your account?
[06:18] <sleepwalk> thanks thori
[06:18] <nnotonekind> I can log in. There are just 90 GB of files I cant access when logged into windows. when I used Ubuntu I found them in a folder and tried to move them.
[06:18] <glassface> I don't think ssh will work for this..
[06:19] <ArthurArchnix> nnotonekind: Ok... I feel like we're making progress here. When you say there's 90GB of files you can't access.... what do you mean?
[06:19] <thor> glassface: ssh is the best bet...what exactly do you want to do?
[06:19] <Hanyou> Dumb question what command do you put in terminal to get to usr/lib directory?
[06:19] <glassface> I want to controll my office system or my friend's system to help..
[06:20] <glassface> and for that I need to login to their systems..
[06:20] <glassface> but they are not having public ip's
[06:20] <nnotonekind> I did a PC recovery and all my files disappeared. my program files stayed, and the space on my hard drive was still being taken up by them, But they were NOWHERE to be found. I literally searched everywhere possible.  My properties for the C drive told me I had 223 GB of space, with 90 GB free. I caculated everything on my C drive and it only equaled 40 GB. So the files were there, but windows wasn't recognizing them.
[06:20] <thor> glassface: ok...I do this with my systems so...are you ready to take notes?
[06:20] <ArthurArchnix> Hanyou: cd means change directory
[06:20] <ArthurArchnix> cd /usr/lib
[06:20] <glassface> yes..
[06:21] <Hanyou> ArthurArchnix: It says it cannot find directory.
[06:21] <thor> glassface: first I would suggest you use ssh and tunneling. There are several howtos that explain it...I will just give yhou the commands and you can look further if you want.
[06:21] <glassface> ok
[06:21] <neur1> if I add the xfce desktop to gutsy will the effects stll work ? like the wobbly windows.
[06:21] <ArthurArchnix> nnotonekind: And you've searched Windows XP help channels? I just ask because, it's possible that an Ubuntu Live cd will recover your files, but I wouldn't recommend it as a first step.
[06:21] <Hanyou> Ok, nvm wrong window
[06:21] <game> Hello is there a app for UBUNTU that is like hypper cam???
[06:22] <thor> glassface: I would suggest moving ssh off of port 22...change the port assignment in /etc/sss/sshd_config to something like 45000
[06:22] <ArthurArchnix> Hanyou: Do cd /usr
[06:22] <glassface> ok
[06:22] <thor> glassface: you need then to open port 45000 on the firewall or wifi router, and then forward it to the local IP address port 45000
[06:22] <ArthurArchnix> Hanyou: the do "ls" to show what directories and files are available
[06:22] <thor> glassface: remember, on the machine you wnat to control you have to run ssh-server (sshd)
[06:23] <nnotonekind> Well I FOUND my files with Ubuntu. When I tried moving that folder it appeared in my documents, where i put it, but I still couldnt access it. Then I loaded Ubuntu up again and it turned all the files in that folder into one single index.dat file. Someone then recommended I do a system recovery to before I moved the files, so I loaded Ubuntu yet again, and was going to do that, but my C drive isnt being seen by Ubuntu anymore.
[06:23] <game> Hello is there a app for UBUNTU that is like hypper cam???
[06:23] <glassface> ok.
[06:24] <nnotonekind> oh! and It was recommended that I load Ubuntu, go to my "windows partition" and rename a previous recovery to the current one. I dont remember exactly how they put it, but it was something like that.
[06:24] <thor> glassface: you are going to use vnc to control the other computer...I think you can set it up so they can see what you are doing...but I have never tried that part. You have to run vncserver on the computer you want to control with the command 'vncserver :1'
[06:24] <ArthurArchnix> nnotonekind: Don't worry about it nnotonekind. I realize the files are still there... probably.. and that ubuntu saw them. What I'm saying is, you're asking Ubuntu to mess with XP and NTFS. Both are closed source and the Open Source community has had to do its best to work with it without MS cooperation. So, what i'm saying is if a MS solution is availabe, it's probably best to try that first.
[06:24] <glassface> what if I want to access more than one systems from our office.. there are nearly 20 systems which are sharing same connection with 192.168.0.x ip address.. will it work..
[06:24] <thor> glassface: there are other options you might want to use....do a ' man vncserver' to see them all.
[06:24] <vvn> I'm getting error 17 at stage 1.5 of grub after an install of gutsy, what should I look for?  I booted on the dvd and mounted my root fs
[06:25] <nnotonekind> There wasnt. I went through support and they kept telling me it was spyware, or that the 90 GB were just hidden system files. They werent helping me at all.
[06:25] <slowthy> I am running ubuntu 7.10, and I have an Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 card, and I can't seem to find the drivers for it, can anyone help me?
[06:25] <glassface> I worked with ssh,sshd, vncserver in the office.  now it is different..
[06:25] <thor> glassface: you log in to the other machine via ssh with the command 'ssh -L 5901:<ipaddress>:5901 <ipaddress> where the ipaddress is the address of the computer you want to control. This sets up the ssh tunnel
[06:26] <glassface> ok.. looks like that it will work out..
[06:26] <thor> glassface: by using an ssh tunnel you only have to open the ssh port on the firewall...everything else goes through that
[06:27] <thor> glassface: when you have logged in via ssh...just run vnc on your computer and point it to 'localhost:1' ...it should automatically be forwarded to the other machine.
[06:27] <ArthurArchnix> nnotonekind: Let's go to a PM... I'd like to try and help you, but I'm not sure the OPS will allow this kind of thing here. This seems like XP trouble.
[06:27] <glassface> thanx.. thor.
[06:27] <thor> glassface: youi might need 'locahost:5901'....can't recall at the moment <smile>
[06:27] <glassface> will try this one now.
[06:28] <thor> glassface: good luck
[06:28] <nnotonekind> alright, did you get my PM?

[06:32] <jake4679> I am having an issue.  I want to disable portmap from starting.  I have modified startup to not start the portmap service.  However, some service is still starting the portmap daemon.  I have grep'ed all the other startup scripts and no one else starts this daemon.  It is owned by the init process.  Does ubuntu hardcode the startup of the portmap dameon into some other executable?

[06:48] <Premium5pam> Windows Vista (IPA: /ˈvɪs.tə/) is a line of graphical operating systems used on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, Tablet PCs, and media centers. Prior to its announcement on July 22, 2005, Windows Vista was known by its codename "Longhorn".[1] Development was completed on November 8, 2006; over the following three months it was released in stages to...
[06:48] <Premium5pam> ...computer hardware and software manufacturers, business customers, and retail channels. On January 30, 2007, it was released worldwide to the general public,[2] and was made available for purchase and downloading from Microsoft's web site.[3] The release of Windows Vista comes more than five years after the introduction of its predecessor, Windows XP, making it the longest time span...
[06:48] <Premium5pam> Windows Vista contains hundreds of new and reworked features; some of the most significant include an updated graphical user interface and visual style dubbed Windows Aero, improved searching features, new multimedia creation tools such as Windows DVD Maker, and completely redesigned networking, audio, print, and display sub-systems. Vista also aims to increase the level of communication...
[06:48] <Premium5pam> Microsoft's primary stated objective with Windows Vista, however, has been to improve the state of security in the Windows operating system.[4] One common criticism of Windows XP and its predecessors has been their commonly exploited security vulnerabilities and overall susceptibility to malware, viruses and buffer overflows. In light of this, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates announced in early...
