[03:53] <King_Bob> HI guys , are there any recent java script bugs from an update of firefox  related to Java?
[03:53] <DarkKnight> _BSD_ i actually got many files in pendrive which were virus infected...i deleted all the virus...and suddenly all those files got a lock on top of the icon....so i changed the permissions made it 777 or so....but still then not able to delete
[03:53] <jrib> xorlim: they do different things.  Did you read the man page for sudo to find out exactly what the difference is?
[03:53] <alex_21> So where do I find that?
[03:53] <King_Bob> or a java update itself?
[03:53] <juancabrito> dmata82: me
[03:53] <__BSD__> !es | dmata82
[03:54] <juancabrito> dmata82: je je
[03:54] <gnutron> alex_21: find your domain name?
[03:54] <jrib> King_Bob: you need to be more precise.  Java and javascript are different things
[03:54] <dmata82> I dont know how to go to other channels
[03:54] <King_Bob> ideally i need someone that understands java
[03:54] <jrib> dmata82: /join #name_of_other_channel
[03:54] <xorlim> jrib: I read it by skimming it.
[03:54] <dimedo> hi, why does sudo env list only a very minimal set of env variables. why are the contents of /etc/environment not loaded`?
[03:54] <jrib> King_Bob: you want to program in java?
[03:54] <dmata82> in ChanServ?
[03:55] <mortuis99> hey there i am using pidgin and al of the sudden im having trouble connecting to yahoo.  can anyone help?
[03:55] <jrib> xorlim: skim?  Just read the sections on -s and -i...
[03:55] <juancabrito> dmata82: the spanish channel is empty most of the time
[03:55] <xorlim> jrib: I understood sudo -i have to do with environment variables, it is an "initial login" emulation.
[03:55] <xorlim> jrib: yes.
[03:55] <linrunix> when i turn off my system it stays at the point of "unmounting temporary filesystems" it take a really long time in there... any ideas why?
[03:55] <juancabrito> dmata82: or almost empty
[03:55] <ridge> King_Bob: you need a java programer?
[03:55] <alex_21> Yes
[03:55] <tdreyer1_> Hey, can someone keep an eye out for slinkeey? I was helping earlier, but he had to reboot and isn't back yet and I gotta go. I'm thinking his problem is with compiz... Anyone?
[03:55] <exodus_ms> laterz
[03:55] <solid_liq> wtf?  mkfs.ext4 is included with ubuntu 8.10, but the version of mount included doesn't know how to mount an ext4 filesystem?  what gives?
[03:55] <juancabrito> does anyone knows if I can install VMWare workstation if I have VMW player already installed, and afterwards maybe uninstall one of them in ubuntu 8.10?
[03:55] <alex_21> My dns serer on my lan is my router
[03:55] <jrib> xorlim: right.  -i will reset environment variables.  In general, -i is safer
[03:55] <alex_21> Dns Server
[03:56] <King_Bob> jrib , there is a bug with a site im trying to access , Javascript-Issue
[03:56] <xorlim> jrib: "It also initializes the environment, leaving TERM unchanged, setting HOME, SHELL, USER, LOGNAME, and PATH, and unsetting all other environment variables."
[03:56] <solid_liq> juancabrito: I'd uninstall vmware-player first
[03:56] <jrib> King_Bob: see my first statement to you
[03:56] <linrunix> when i turn off my system it stays at the point of "unmounting temporary filesystems" it take a really long time in there... any ideas why??
[03:56] <juancabrito> solid_liq: do yuo know if it is necesary?
[03:57] <DarkKnight> hey in certain non-ubuntu OS installations there is a specification of cylinders....can i get more info abt them
[03:57] <tdreyer1_> Hey, can someone keep an eye out for slinkeey? I was helping earlier, but he had to reboot and isn't back yet and I gotta go. I'm thinking his video problem is with compiz... Anyone?
[03:57] <isleshocky77> Can anyone give some direction with getting my external monitor to display at 1680x1050? Right now it's maxing out at 1600x1024 for some reason.
[03:57] <solid_liq> juancabrito: I think there'll be problems if you don't, but I'm not positive (haven't tried in a couple of years)
[03:58] <CopyWriter> i've been reading the server guide documentation on ubuntu
[03:58] <solid_liq> DarkKnight: it wants to know if you have a v6, v8, v12 or just a little 4-banger in your car
[03:58] <linrunix> AcidBurn lolaso
[03:58] <mortuis99> hey there i am using pidgin and al of the sudden im having trouble connecting to yahoo.  can anyone help?
[03:58] <linrunix> someone has been watching hackers lol
[03:58] <DarkKnight> solid_liq; i have no idea of wat u said
[03:58] <King_Bob> the start button consists of a link around a button-map div. This link has got a href = 'javascript:void(0)' and an onClick = 'openMiniMap();'. The onClick-Event MUST return false or in some browsers the href void(0) will be executed doing, well, nothing.
[03:58] <CopyWriter> i think i'm ready to do something radical like switching over from a windows based server to ubuntu server
[03:59] <solid_liq> DarkKnight: just kidding...  you don't *want* to have to work with cylinders directly, normally, but it's about the number of cylinders in your hard drive.
[03:59] <CopyWriter> i'm sick sick sick of windows
[03:59] <linrunix> CopyWriter: we love it
[03:59] <solid_liq> DarkKnight: that used to be something to be dealt with manually, but everything to do with it is automated now, so it's best to let the OS take care of that itself
[04:00] <King_Bob> jrib , the button was working fine up until what i think was a javascript update
[04:00] <__BSD__> CopyWriter: that's what i did, completely wiped out windows and installed Ubuntu almost 2 years ago
[04:00] <mortuis99> people that use windows are unix
[04:00] <DarkKnight> solid_liq; ya...do u know wer i can get a complete info abt them
[04:00] <CopyWriter> trying to figure out how to set up a domain name server tho
[04:00] <tdreyer1_> slinkeey: lets hope you check the logs: I think your problem is with compiz. Try typing "metacity --replace" into a console (or alt-f2) and see if that solves the problems. If not, you can go back to compiz with "compiz --replace" Hope this helps.
[04:00] <solid_liq> CopyWriter: well then switch...  ubuntu might be a good first choice, because it makes it easy to learn...  in the long run, I prefer debian stable for my servers tho (check out linux-vserver too for this, it rocks!)
[04:00] <King_Bob> jrib : is there anyway to downgrade to an earlier version so i can test it out ?
[04:00] <MrCollins> oh man, I am in terminal and my X is broken now....
[04:00] <DarkKnight> IS it true what I have heard.....i have head that Ubuntu is the fastest growing OS with the largest no. of people working on it
[04:01] <solid_liq> DarkKnight: probably on tldp.org
[04:01] <After_Math> In grub, if you have to operating systems on two different partitions, do they both have to be marked as bootable?
[04:01] <solid_liq> DarkKnight: and yeah, that seems to be true
[04:01] <jrib> King_Bob: unfortunately I have no idea what you are talking about.  I have to go now though, so I can't help you anyway.  night
[04:01] <MrCollins> exodus_ms: help! *humbly*
[04:01] <King_Bob> jrib : take care
[04:01] <__BSD__> DarkKnight: accoring to distro.com it is the #1 distro
[04:01] <solid_liq> After_Math: no
[04:01] <chriswaterguy> I'm trying the Xubuntu LiveCD. I read that it's bloated tho, as Xfce goes. I also read "you could also do a minimal install of ubuntu and add xfce4. it requires alot of work to get it set up, but it will be lightning fast." Opinions?
[04:01] <__BSD__> errr distrowatch.com
[04:01] <solid_liq> After_Math: actually neither one of them needs to be marked bootable anymore
[04:02] <After_Math> solid_liq, ok well they both are, and I am wondering if that is stopping from grub being able to see the second one and put it into the boot menu options
[04:02] <DarkKnight> _BSD_ thanx
[04:02] <After_Math> solid_liq, i see
[04:02] <solid_liq> chriswaterguy: just remember, any OS running off of a live cd is always *much* slower than it would be running off the hdd
[04:02] <justin_> hey i have a quick question if soneone can help, in windows you can compile vb in notepad, what can you compile in ubuntu's text editor
[04:02] <__BSD__> you're welcome DarkKnight
[04:03] <solid_liq> justin_: lol there are lots of text editors for ubuntu/linux
[04:03] <After_Math> justin_, anyhting
[04:03] <After_Math> justin_, C++, java
[04:03] <MrCollins> can someone please help, when I login to X it says "couldnt exec /usr/bin/pulse-session
[04:03] <solid_liq> justin_: and everything has a command line compiler, so anything you want
[04:03] <__BSD__> *cough emacs* :)
[04:03] <MrCollins> I did a apt-get remove pulse-audio
[04:03] <After_Math> justin_, ya, i wouldnt say INSIDE the editor, but like solid said
[04:03] <chriswaterguy> solid_liq: I don't mind the LiveCD speed - just wondering how it compares with other ways of installing - either the minimal install or a different distro.
[04:03] <solid_liq> no, vim is much better than emacs
[04:04] <__BSD__> ...
[04:04] <dnyy> Is there a way to set xorg.conf back to default?
[04:04] <__BSD__> Editor wars!
[04:04] <mezquitale> how do you check to see if a package is installed or not using apt-cache???
[04:04] <justin_> really? im new to linux and programming, trying to lean how to do it
[04:04] <solid_liq> chriswaterguy: what kind of computer do you have? (proc/ram)
[04:04] <mortuis99> hey there i am using pidgin and al of the sudden im having trouble connecting to yahoo.  can anyone help?
[04:04] <ardchoille> mezquitale: apt-cache policy package-name
[04:04] <Alien_Freak> so.. I just did a dist-upgrade and once I rebooted, it nuked my wifi card.
[04:04] <solid_liq> justin_: if you want to do programming, I highly suggest you download the ganymede version of Eclipse, and add the subclipse plugin (for subversion) to it
[04:04] <gnutron> mezquitale: dpkg -s packagename
[04:05] <solid_liq> justin_: that's what I use for C and C++ dev, and I'm happy with it
[04:05] <justin_> so can i save a vb script as a .vb extension like i would in windows? or is there a different way to do it
[04:05] <Guest63026> i love fluxbbox..what similar thing with that???
[04:05] <Guest63026> i love fluxbox..what similar thing with that???
[04:05] <Alien_Freak> i'm on 2.6.27-9-server .. any one know what package I need for the wirless.. stuff.. i guess
[04:05] <zer0> .
[04:05] <arvind_khadri> justin_, vb is MS technology , you cant run it in linux
[04:05] <MrCollins> never mind, I fixed it, I did a apt-get install pulseaudio and it fixed my X
[04:05] <solid_liq> justin_: we don't have that vb garbage in Linux, sorry, that's microsoft-ONLY ;)
[04:05] <MrCollins> why would pulseaudio break my X?
[04:05] <itai_michaelson> i'm trying to compile conky and run into this error: XDamageQueryExtension in -lXdamage... no.  what can i do?
[04:06] <rogan> Does a new Ipod have to be formated on a windows or a mac computer before it can work on linux?
[04:06] <solid_liq> justin_: you can't use VB on a mac, any unix machine, vms, amiga, etc. etc.
[04:06] <genii> itai_michaelson: sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get install conky                       ?
[04:07] <alex_21> It is urgent as this is a full fledged production server
[04:07] <alex_21> It is urgent as this is a full fledged production server
[04:07] <alex_21> It is urgent as this is a full fledged production server
[04:07] <alex_21> Dark Night, like Opensuse. I know. What are those
[04:07] <alex_21> Dark Night, like Opensuse. I know. What are those
[04:07] <FloodBot2> alex_21: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:07] <MrCollins> exodus_ms: now my X is back it doesnt play my flash
[04:07] <justin_> ic, so what are some languages that work in linux
[04:07] <solid_liq> justin_: for os's other than windows, you need to use standardized languages, like C and C++, and ones with good cross-platform support, like java, php, python, perl etc.  if you're coming from VB, I suggest Python, you'll most likely like it a lot
[04:07] <MrCollins> exodus_ms: this is directly relayed to pulseaudio but not sure how to uninstall it and keep it from breaking X when I login....
[04:08] <itai_michaelson> genii, i run into dependency 'lsb' is not installed ...etc etc
[04:08] <chriswaterguy> solid_liq: Just saw you asked what computer I have. ThinkPad R60, 1GB RAM.
[04:08] <CopyWriter> thansk BSD and solid_liq, got quite alot of reading to do, want to change over before week ends
[04:08] <Guest89106> what best ip scanner in ubuntu??xcept nmap/netcat????
[04:08] <solid_liq> solid_liq: there's a Python version of Eclipse-Ganymede too (I've heard about it, not used it).  it's supposed to be really good
[04:09] <chriswaterguy> solid_liq:  I tend to run my machines hard tho - bad habits, too many tabs, multiple browsers open
[04:09] <genii> itai_michaelson: You shouldn't need linux standard base installed to install conky
[04:09] <solid_liq> chriswaterguy: k, then forget xfce, use Gnome.  xfce is for people with OLD computers.  Gnome will be plenty fast on that, so just use the normal ubuntu install cd.  Gnome takes a wee bit more ram, but it's much more modern
[04:09] <linrunix_> when i turn off my system it stays at the point of "unmounting temporary filesystems" it take a really long time in there... any ideas why??
[04:09] <wene> hello
[04:09] <itai_michaelson> genii, its a server +xfce+firefox
[04:10] <solid_liq> chriswaterguy: me too, and I use gnome.  I have 200+ tabs open in firefox right now
[04:10] <itai_michaelson> genii, but i also think its strange
[04:10] <alex_21> It worked before I commented out eth1, so could my packets be taking an alternate roote?
[04:10] <wene> i need help with the "clipboard encryption" panel item
[04:10] <solid_liq> itai_michaelson: either it's a server, or it's running X, not both ;)
[04:10] <Guest89106> what best ip scanner in ubuntu??xcept nmap/netcat????
[04:10] <wene> once i have uncrypted a key, i cannot flush the clipboard to encrypt a new content
[04:10] <NWAdawg> hello
[04:10] <itai_michaelson> solid_liq, what i mean is server install +xfce,,,,,,
[04:11] <zer0> NickServ- You have 30 seconds to identify to your nickname before it is changed
[04:11] <alex_21> I mean my dns
[04:11] <zer0> how to identify??
[04:11] <solid_liq> Guest89106: uh, one I wrote...  you should be able to find it in the svn scripts repo on my site, http://solid.linux-coders.org/
[04:11] <itai_michaelson> solid_liq, but i didnt install xubuntu-desktop and all that
[04:11] <NWAdawg> how can I get conky to autoload on startup?
[04:11] <quentusrex> I am trying to compile an application and it says I'm missing c++ toolchain
[04:11] <quentusrex> what do I need to install?
[04:11] <rkj> Hi can anyone suggest what to do when a USB flask disk is not detected by the system?
[04:11] <sunap2> hey
[04:11] <solid_liq> itai_michaelson: but if it's running X (which it is if it runs xfce), then it's not a proper server
[04:12] <IdleOne> quentusrex, build-essential
[04:12] <alex_21> Please help, I can't resolve anything
[04:12] <wene> zer0 : you can see the main irc server tab ( /msg NickServ identify <password> )
[04:12] <solid_liq> quentusrex: build-essential  and  g++
[04:12] <solid_liq> rkj: learn to use the 'mount' command
[04:12] <itai_michaelson> solid_liq, fair enough....i just think i'm missing some gui pacakges that prevent me from installing amsn, conky and other stuff, they all need lsb
[04:12] <genii> alex_21: If it's a server-specific issue perhaps try #ubuntu-server
[04:13] <dnyy> Whats the name of the web browser for use in the terminal?
[04:13] <ngabriel4977_> can anyone help?  i upgraded to 8.04 (b/c i want to upgrade to 8.10) and now i cant get the machine on the network?
[04:13] <rkj> solid_liq the system doesn't even detect the presence of the device so there is nothing to mount
[04:13] <solid_liq> itai_michaelson: you're making it into a desktop by installing that...  if you really want a desktop on your server, why don't you install another distro (ubuntu desktop) in a virtual machine, and use that instead?
[04:13] <chriswaterguy> solid_liq: you're even worse than me. I've been having FF3 crash on me a lot, but suspect it's something to do with being a tar install on an older distro (Mandriva 2008.0)
[04:13] <ngabriel4977_> i saw few threads online from folks experiencing the same, but nothing panned out
[04:13] <solid_liq> dnyy: lynx links or w3m
[04:14] <dnyy> solid_liq: any difference in the two?
[04:14] <CopyWriter> later guys, thanks for the help
[04:14] <solid_liq> rkj: have you looked at the end of /var/log/syslog?  use dmesg | tail -n 10   or   tail -n 10 /var/log/syslog
[04:14] <CopyWriter> and suggestions
[04:14] <itai_michaelson> solid_liq, i need a minimal gui environment to use about once a week. i have low specs so i don't want to run a virtual machine
 lynX or something
[04:14] <IdleOne> itai_michaelson, xubuntu-desktop
[04:15] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977-> what have you done so far to troubleshoot?
[04:15] <solid_liq> chriswaterguy: heh, add to that a running Eclipse (takes a lot of ram) and several other running programs ;)
[04:15] <dnyy> solid_liq & alex_21: Thanks. :)
[04:15] <chriswaterguy> solid_liq: and that's stable?
[04:15] <chriswaterguy> If I'm not going Xfce, I'm inclined to stick with Mandriva (2009.0 looks nice).
[04:16] <blakkheim> i'm having some confusion with my firewall. since i installed 8.10, firestarter hasn't listed any blocked connections, despite me configuring the settings like i used to have them. i've gotten curious if it was actually working or not and it seems like it isn't blocking anything anymore.
[04:16] <solid_liq> dnyy: you mean the three?  yeah, lynx is the oldest, links usually actually runs links2, which is an improved rewrite of lynx, and w3m is the w3c consortium's text browser...  I suggest links or w3m
[04:16] <MrCollins> ok I have figured this out
[04:16] <chriswaterguy> Unless someone has a *really* good argument for switching from Mandriva to Ubuntu. :-)
[04:16] <itai_michaelson> IdleOne, i'm trying to keep it slim, but if all else fails i'll go for xubuntu-desktop. i was running etc+xfce+thunar+amsn before without resorting to all these extra packages, i'm hoping to achieve the same in ubuntu
[04:16] <n8tuser> blakkheim-> sudo iptables -vL  would list your rules
[04:16] <ngabriel4977_> looked at /etc/networking/interfaces since the release notes mentioned something about roaming-mode changes, i didnt see anything different.  I tried /ifconfig eth2 down, then up, and the dhcpcd (which isnt install appearently).  I tried switching to a static ip ,...
[04:16] <alex_21> No Problem
[04:16] <ngabriel4977_> thats about it
[04:16] <solid_liq> chriswaterguy: yep, it's stable...  current uptime is a few minutes under 9 days
[04:16] <rkj> solid_liq, I checked that, and it says "device not accepting address 21, error -110"- what does that mean?
[04:16] <MrCollins> for me to get flash to work in firefox, I have to issue killall -9 pulseaudio then restart firefox
[04:16] <itai_michaelson> IdleOne, i meant etch+xfce...
[04:17] <solid_liq> chriswaterguy: and my uptime would be longer if I hadn't installed an updated kernel
[04:17] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: i've always had this setup as a static up
[04:17] <EMPulse> hey guys
[04:17] <ngabriel4977_> ip
[04:17] <EMPulse> is anyone familiar with TOR here?
[04:17] <MrCollins> how do I safely uninstall pulseaudio OR make my system automatically issue the command killall -9 pulseaudio once I login to X?
[04:17] <solid_liq> chriswaterguy: FF will crash every few days tho, but when it does, at least it restores the old tabs, and you've reclaimed memory that was unneccessarily cached
[04:17] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977-> paste your  ifconfig; iwconfig; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/resolv.conf
[04:18] <Guest95157> how to use nmap to scan live host with range??
[04:18] <ngabriel4977_> not sure how i could do that
[04:18] <ngabriel4977_> since the machine is not on the network
[04:18] <n8tuser> !who | ngabriel4977
[04:19] <dimedo> :q
[04:19] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: can't paste, perhaps i could save to a file on a flash drive
[04:19] <blakkheim> n8tuser, i don't know a lot about iptables. could i send you that output and let you have a look?
[04:19] <solid_liq> chriswaterguy: Ubuntu really is a lot more polished than mandriva, fedora, suse, gentoo, debian, etc.  I've used them all, have known my way around linux for 8+ years, and I prefer ubuntu for the desktop, debian for the server, due to the suitability for the tasks they have.
[04:19] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977-> you have get on that host, and type those commands i mentioned, then copy it to a usb key and post it
[04:19] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977-> do what it takes for us to see what configs you have
[04:19] <zer0> how to use nmap to scan live host with range??
[04:19] <n8tuser> blakkheim-> nope, am not going to do that for you, you have to do the hard work.
[04:20] <chriswaterguy> solid_liq: FF3 has been crashing multiple times per day for me.
[04:20] <blakkheim> n8tuser, i don't know enough about iptables to really understand what is in this file :(
[04:20] <solid_liq> chriswaterguy: well then it's definitely more stable on ubuntu
[04:20] <Zeroedout> zer0 or guest: try a gui if a cli is too complex, knmap might work
[04:20] <solid_liq> blakkheim: understand first that it's a script
[04:20] <n8tuser> blakkheim-> then dont use it if you dont know how,  or do a tutorial on iptables or ufw
[04:21] <solid_liq> Guest93592: my script for that network scanning is called 'scannet'
[04:21] <Guest93592> where is it??
[04:21] <blakkheim> i'm just concerned that my firewall is allowing incoming traffic and i would like to fix that
[04:21] <solid_liq> Guest93592: I wrote it because nmap's scanning is way too slow when all you want is to see what IP addresses are in use on your LAN.  It should pick up every used IP
[04:21] <chriswaterguy> solid_liq: this is a tar.bz or whatever on an old Mandriva distro. Don't want to malign Mandriva unfairly :-)
[04:21] <n8tuser> blakkheim-> here is a good tutorial  http://www.linuxexposed.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=107
[04:21] <solid_liq> Guest93592: lemme find you a link
[04:21] <Zeroedout> Guest93592: apt-get install knmap
[04:21] <blakkheim> thanks
[04:22] <alex_21> Can someone do me a huge favour and repost my pastebin url for me
[04:22] <Guest93592> got it
[04:22] <chriswaterguy> solid_liq: I had such a nightmare with Xubuntu & Ubuntu last year, I'm apprehensive. But I know it works great for most people.
[04:22] <__BSD__> also ZENMAP is a front end to nmap, you might wanna give that a try.
[04:22] <solid_liq> Guest93592: http://solid.linux-coders.org/code/bash/useful/utility/scannet
[04:23] <rkj> solid_liq, I tried a different usb stick and it works. so any idea what that "error -110" in the log means?
[04:23] <ugumtu> i have a server but ip seem to be blacklisted. i have another server whose ip is not blacklisted and i was wondering if i can set server A to use server B for all outgoing SMTP ? how is this done?
[04:23] <solid_liq> chriswaterguy: if you want it to Just Work(TM), get Ubuntu 8.04 not 8.10...  8.04 is an LTS release, which means Long Term Support, which means they spent a lot of time makeing sure it was well polished
[04:23] <chriswaterguy> ahhhh
[04:23] <solid_liq> rkj: the usb stick may be broken...  they seem to do that over time (I have a few dead ones too)
[04:23] <chriswaterguy> eenteresting.
[04:24] <rkj> solid_liq, the device that's not working is a 16 GB Corsair so I'd really like to get it going!
[04:24] <solid_liq> ugumtu: this isn't the channel for that question.  Try ##linux
[04:24] <Guest93592> when i click to the link,firefox is not open by..how to change??
[04:24] <PC-Ente> huhu
[04:24] <PC-Ente> is it possbile to run wine programms on a linux-server without X-Org =
[04:24] <rkj> solid_liq, I also tried the "non-working" one on my XP box and it works (yes, I have an XP box but only because my company makes me)
[04:24] <PC-Ente> ?
[04:24] <solid_liq> rkj: try plugging it into some other computers to test it.  if it doesn't work in them, it's dead.  if you don't have them to test, I bet it's still probably dead.  exchange it
[04:25] <chriswaterguy> what do you think of using the minimal install CD? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD - will that give me a better, faster system?
[04:25] <n8tuser> solid_liq-> he can ask those questions here
[04:25] <solid_liq> rkj: hmm, not sure then
[04:25] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: different issue, how can i mount the flash drive as writable?  this is fat16
[04:25] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: i mounted it, but its r/o
[04:25] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: i've had this issue with fat before
[04:25] <solid_liq> n8tuser: with the traffic in this channel, and the crowd, I doubt he'll get good help on it here.  ##linux is more of a server admin channel, this is more of a desktop user channel
[04:26] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977-> then mount it as r,w
[04:26] <Guest93592> solid_liq:::how to scan with range??
[04:26] <robb_m> n8tuser, try #ubuntu-server for server help :)
[04:26] <solid_liq> Guest93592: just run it, with no options, and it'll automatically scan your subnet
[04:26] <n8tuser> robb_m-> not i
[04:26] <solid_liq> Guest93592: it's fast too ;)
[04:27] <robb_m> n8tuser, oops, sorry, was scanning solid_liq 's messages
[04:27] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977-> man mount or man fstab
[04:27] <wos> could anyone tell me how to join a irc:// address in pidgin ??
[04:27] <solid_liq> Guest93592: the way it works doesn't work if the IP's are on the outside of a router btw, so it's only good for your own LAN
[04:27] <Guest93592> owh..i can use this when i in my campus right??
[04:28] <n8tuser> Guest93592-> and get ready to get reprimanded for doing such if it is againts your school policy
[04:28] <solid_liq> Guest93592: you should be able to, but only on the segment of the LAN that's behind whatever router you're behind...  so you won't be able to dig around other departments' subnets ;)
[04:28] <solid_liq> n8tuser: it's a very non-intrusive script
[04:29] <solid_liq> n8tuser: read the short script, and you'll see ;)
[04:29] <solid_liq> n8tuser: http://solid.linux-coders.org/code/bash/useful/utility/scannet
[04:29] <n8tuser> solid_liq-> schools are getting very worried, so make sure you school policy allows you
[04:29] <Guest93592> solid_liq::ouchh..i think it must be hard when my campus use websense"blocked by sebsense"
[04:29] <alex_21> Hi,
[04:29] <Guest93592> solid_liq::ouchh..i think it must be hard when my campus use websense"blocked by websense"
[04:29] <solid_liq> n8tuser: it's not a hacking tool, as the source shows, so it's no biggie
[04:30] <Guest93592> i need to get hacking tool to bypass websense in my campus.
[04:30] <n8tuser> solid_liq-> if it is considered a threat, beware..
[04:30] <Guest93592> what u prefer??
[04:30] <solid_liq> n8tuser: I wrote it as a quick tool to help me decide what IP addresses were open when adding new server IP's
[04:30] <alex_21> I want to make my Login Window look like that on the Mac with login name and password needing to be typed. I have currently Kubuntu login but Ubuntu is the base on this sstem with Kubuntu-desktop also installed and Xubuntu for that matter is on here too
[04:31] <solid_liq> n8tuser: it just pings the local subnet, one ping per address, waits for the results (it does the pings in parallel), then inspects the ARP table
[04:31] <ardchoille> alex_21: google for Mac4Lin , that project has tons of mac loooking stuff including the login screen
[04:32] <solid_liq> alex_21: I know there's a theme for gdm to do that, and I think there's one for kdm too...  so search for kdm theme mac osx
[04:32] <Guest93592> anyone can suggest my how to bypass websense?

[04:37] <donjr_KS> I goofed something up and removed many packages I need...like dolphin....lol how can I access a flash drive from console?
[04:38] <Melik> hey guys, what are "locale" files?
[04:39] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: i managed to mount it such that i can manually write or touch a file, but i cannot redirect the output of ifconfig to a file on the drive (permission denied)
[04:39] <donjr_KS> I need to access my flash drive from console can anyone help?
[04:40] <pixelated> donjr_KS, just mount it?
[04:41] <ardchoille> donjr_KS: type "mount" (without quotes) in a terminal and find where it's mounted (something like /media/disk) and then just cd /media/disk
[04:41] <donjr_KS> thanks, I do appriciate it.  I'm a linux noob still
[04:41] <Schippstrich> ngabriel4977_, did you use sudo?
[04:42] <mr_clark> !help
[04:42] <ngabriel4977_> Schippstrich: yes
[04:42] <screamsayonara> i just got the ndiswrapper thing and my windows driver for my wireless card, when i type "ndiswrapper -l" in the terminal it says "driver installed" but i still cant see any wireless networks
[04:43] <CaptainMorgan> for gnome-terminal, to get it to stop asking me whether not I *really* want to close all the tabs, I went into gconf-editor and deselected the proper selection... I opened a terminal(3 tabs), and tested closing it - it still asks me - do I need to restart X or reboot the machine?
[04:43] <wos> could anyone tell me how to join a irc:// address in pidgin ??
[04:44] <CaptainMorgan> wos do you have the correct address?
[04:44] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977-> do it as root,  ie  sudo ifconfig  and same with the rest
[04:44] <princess> hola
[04:45] <n8tuser> CaptainMorgan-> try restarting you gdm
[04:45] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: i ran "sudo ifconfig > /mnt/file.txt"
[04:45] <CaptainMorgan> n8tuser, using gnome - so you mean X?
[04:46] <karllenz> hey i have a problem i cant change my screens resolution also when i activate my nvidia driver the resolution gets even lower is there any fix for this displaymanger says my monitor is unknown?
[04:46] <n8tuser> CaptainMorgan-> if your desktop manager is gdm,  yeah /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:46] <princess> nadie me pienza  contestar
[04:47] <rww> ngabriel4977_: that command will take the output of "sudo ifconfig" and redirect it to /mnt/file.txt. The redirection is done with your permissions, not those of root. Issue sudo -i to get a root shell, then do ifconfig > /mnt/file.txt. (There's probably an easier way of doing this, but I don't know it.)
[04:47] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: actually, it's like bash is complaining about the redirection
[04:47] <CaptainMorgan> n8tuser, will that log me out?
[04:47] <n8tuser> karllenz-> see what rez you got,  xrandr
[04:47] <n8tuser> CaptainMorgan-> yes
[04:47] <mezquitale> anyone knows how to recreate the default samba.conf file???
[04:47] <KrispyKreme> when is the next version of ubuntu coming out and what is the name??????
[04:47] <CaptainMorgan> n8tuser, k thanks!
[04:47] <rww> !jaunty | KrispyKreme
[04:47] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977-> do it as root,  ie  sudo ifconfig  and same with the rest   <-- did you understand this?
[04:47] <KrispyKreme> anyone know an IndyGunFreak?
[04:48] <mezquitale> KrispyKreme,  ubuntu 8.10 just recently came out, why worry about the next version so soon? LoL
[04:49] <KrispyKreme> I'm just curious to see if it has better support for my laptop mezquitale
[04:49] <karllenz> n8tuser Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
[04:49] <karllenz> default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
[04:49] <karllenz>    800x600        60.0*    56.0
[04:49] <karllenz>    640x480        60.0
[04:49] <karllenz>    400x300        60.0     56.0
[04:49] <FloodBot2> karllenz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:49] <karllenz> sry
[04:49] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: perhaps not.  i'm running the command you gave.  if you mean to login as root and then run "sudo ifconfig", i'll have to enable the root account (i'm using ubuntu defaults).
[04:49] <KrispyKreme> because in 8.04, I can actually control my screen brightness
[04:49] <KrispyKreme> mezquitale:
[04:49] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977-> do whatever it takes
[04:50] <KrispyKreme> I read that the alpha version of jaunty jackalope is out...
[04:50] <rww> ngabriel4977_: as I already said, use sudo -i to get to a root shell, then issue ifconfig > /mnt/file.txt
[04:50] <rww> KrispyKreme: discussion of Jaunty belongs in #ubuntu+1, not here, thanks.
[04:50] <ardchoille> ngabriel4977: sudo ifconfig | sudo tee -a /mnt/file.txt
[04:50] <KrispyKreme> rrw: very sorry

[04:54] <Brack10> I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 on a Dell OptiPlex GX260.  when I install it freezes at "Scanning Mirror", so I tried booting into the livecd.  I had to boot into safe graphics mode and now the installer is too big for 640x480....is there some way I can fix the window so I can install?
[04:54] <sidney> ardchoille i would guess a vdi file
[04:54] <ardchoille> sidney: ok
[04:54] <Sephr> is there any way to still order the 64 bit ubuntu desktop release from shipit for free?

[04:56] <pumpkinseed> i am having an issue with deluge 1.0.6. My downloads are stopping by themselves and I am getting an "Error" message on them. This just started happening after upgrading from 1.0.5. Anyone have any similar issues?
[04:56] <ardchoille> kingsley: possible, but it's never a good idea to mix distro packages
[04:56] <jdk1976> WTF! all the sudden, my Mac Ubuntu connection icon doesn't show the normal list of wifi connections, but only has a connection properties box with 2 tabs, general and support, and only 2 options for connectivity, eth0 and l0

[05:01] <karllenz> can anyone at all helpl me get my screen resolution to a normal size iv been on this for over a day displayconfig -gtk does not work and more so i can seem to tell ubuntu that i dont have a generic crt monitor
[05:01] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: finally got it, but this is a lot of data.  okay to post it?  i dont want to get booted for flooding
[05:01] <ardchoille> !paste | ngabriel4977_
[05:02] <sobby> ok, i have kind of a serious issue.  And its killing me because I can't do anything about it at all
[05:02] <cjones> how do i change settings in compiz
[05:02] <Brack10> cjones: compiz control panel app
[05:02] <sobby> freakin laptop won't boot period.  No nothing, just a black screen
[05:02] <Brack10> you have to download it separately
[05:02] <cjones> thx
[05:03] <sobby> can't boot from cd, can't boot safe mode
[05:03] <ngabriel4977_> ardchoille: thanks

[05:03] <ardchoille> yw
[05:04] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: eth2 is the interface that i wire into
[05:04] <[TiZ]> Hi. There's a feature that Microsoft Office Image Editor had that I really need right now. I've googled ad nauseum, but I've found nothing relevant. I want to crop an image to an aspect ratio. For example: I want to take a 4:3 image, and automatically crop it to 16:10. Is this possible with the GIMP?
[05:04] <teimu> [TiZ], definitely
[05:05] <[TiZ]> teimu: How do I do it?
[05:05] <teimu> hold on, loading it up now
[05:05] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> you want the wifi? or eth2?
[05:05] <ardchoille> [TiZ]: in gimp go to the menu: Image > Scale image
[05:05] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: eth2
[05:06] <[TiZ]> ardchoille: No. I don't want to scale. I want to crop. I want to cut the top and bottom off of a square image so that it will fit a widescreen aspect ratio.
[05:06] <ardchoille> [TiZ]: in gimp go to the menu: Image > Canvas size
[05:06] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> try  sudo  ifdown eth2;  sudo ifup eth2
[05:07] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> did you get an ip address for eth2?
[05:07] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: no, the dhcp request timed out
[05:07] <[TiZ]> ardchoille: Well, that would indeed crop. But there's nothing there to specify the aspect ratio I want to crop to. Am I expected to calculate it myself?
[05:07] <ardchoille> [TiZ]: you can also use the outline tool to drag an outline, then Edit > Copy  to copy just what you've outlined
[05:08] <Null-e> can anyone tell me quick the terminal command to unlock a locked directory, loosen the permissions, whatever... chmod or something...?
[05:08] <ardchoille> you can then paste what you copied into a new image
[05:08] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> are you sure you have a good cat5 cable for your eth2?
[05:08] <[TiZ]> I do not want to drag an outline. You know how gnome backgrounds can do the "zoom" thing? To automatically fit the image to your screen, cutting off whatever doesn't fit? That's what I want the GIMP to do.
[05:09] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: pretty sure.  i upgraded from 7.x to 8.04 over the network and then once it rebooted i lost the network
[05:09] <jrgp> what is the best irc client for ubuntu?
[05:09] <sobby> i like konversation
[05:10] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: using the same cable that is
[05:10] <[TiZ]> jrgp: IMO, xchat. Not xchat-gnome, but xchat.
[05:10] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> can you elaborate on your network layout?
[05:10] <ddubbsmax> i like pidgin
[05:10] <__BSD__> xchat or irssi
[05:10] <jdk1976>  WTF! all the sudden, my Mac Ubuntu connection icon doesn't show the normal list of wifi connections, but only has a connection properties box with 2 tabs, general and support, and only 2 options for connectivity, eth0 and l0
[05:10] <sobby> konversation has the built in fish feature which is great
[05:10] <waan> What is 'at-spi-registryd-wrapper' for?
[05:11] <ngabriel4977_> modem->router->router(just a hub really)->eth2
[05:11] <ardchoille> [TiZ]: Tools > Transform tools > Crop  ?
[05:12] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: sorry: modem->router->router(just a hub really)->eth2
[05:12] <[TiZ]> ardchoille: I've been poking around in that dialog for a while. It still wants me to drag an outline to crop.
[05:12] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> router to router? how?  wan side of one router into the lan side of the 1st router?
[05:12] <ardchoille> [TiZ]: well, yes, it needs to know what you want to crop/keep
[05:13] <ardchoille> [TiZ]: that is unless you install lib-mind-reader ;)
[05:13] <Null-e> can anyone tell me quick the terminal command to unlock a locked directory, loosen the permissions, whatever... chmod or something...?
[05:13] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> router to router? how?  wan side of one router into the lan side of the 1st router?
[05:13] <[TiZ]> ardchoille: I apologize if I'm starting to get rude, but I've said over and over what I want to do. I want the GIMP to cut off parts of an image so that it will fit to a certain aspect ratio. Gnome backgrounds can do this just fine! Why can't the gimp?
[05:13] <ardchoille> Null-e: do you want everyone to have access to the dir and everything in it?
[05:14] <jdk1976> Ubuntu on my mac no longer even TRIES to use wifi. this is weird. it has always worked prior to this. now it just tries to connect eth0
[05:14] <waan> What is 'at-spi-registryd-wrapper' for?
[05:14] <sobby> so if my laptop won't load past a black screen, no hard drive movement, can't boot from cd or safe mode..What the heck am i going to do?
[05:14] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: not sure on the terminology, but i have the cable modem plugged into the "internet port" on the first router, and then i run another cable from that router into one of the normal (non-internet ports) of the second router, then i just jack eth2 into another non-internet port of the second router
[05:15] <Null-e> i just want the lock icon removed from the folder ardchoille
[05:15] <Null-e> theres only one user on the machine
[05:15] <jdk1976> sobby: you may have ram failure
[05:15] <igunja> oh man i didn't know 2 cans of red bull would give me a shake
[05:15] <ardchoille> Null-e: who owns it and is it in your $home?
[05:15] <igunja> my hands are shaking like crazy
[05:15] <sobby> jdk1976 - suggestions?
[05:15] <Null-e> its in my home ardchoille, i dont know who "owns" it...
[05:16] <[TiZ]> Null-e: If it's in your home, you can just do "chmod +w dirname".
[05:16] <sobby> im about to rip this basically brand new laptop apart
[05:16] <[TiZ]> In a terminal, that is
[05:16] <jdk1976> sobby: sounds more like a graphics card issue
[05:16] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: i have a bunch of other devices that plug into the second router as well (xbox, pc, ...).  All work
[05:16] <sidney> 'sudo updatedb' am i typing this correctly?
[05:16] <sobby> yeah, thats what im thinkin too
[05:16] <jdk1976> sobby:  do you have any other oses on that pc?
[05:16] <sobby> ive read a ton of stuff on graphics cards being a problem with 8.10
[05:16] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> you will have problems with your layout, if the 2nd router(even though you're only using the lan side)  has dchp also enabled
[05:16] <ardchoille> sidney: yes, but that command could take a while
[05:16] <sobby> ive got nothing else on it, i formated over the vista crap with ubuntu
[05:17] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: yes, but it does not have hdcp enabled
[05:17] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> you want static or dchp? i forget
[05:17] <Null-e> that unlocked that dir folder [TiZ] but now all the files within it are locked...
[05:17] <sobby> i can't even get a cd to load regardless of what os i put in it
[05:17] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: i use a static ip for this machine (but for other reasons).  everything else is hdcp from the first router
[05:17] <ardchoille> Null-e: chmod -R  (means recursive)
[05:17] <[TiZ]> Null-e: Oh, okay. Then do ... Yeah, what ardchoille said. "chmod -R +w dirname"
[05:18] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> i have a hard time picturing tis at the moment, can you kindly draw a picture of this? and put the ip address of each interfaces on the drawing?
[05:18] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> a picture is worth a thousand words
[05:18] <xiangfu> have anyone use the 3G modem. when i plug it to my system. i got:cdc_acm: probe of 2-2:1.1 failed with error -22
[05:18] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: sure
[05:18] <Draceee> yo
[05:19] <Draceee> how do i adjust volume?
[05:19] <rabiddachshund> Did something change with labels in fstab?
[05:19] <Null-e> it says cannot read dir _______ permission denied [TiZ]
[05:19] <Draceee> How do you adjust volume in linux?
[05:19] <srx2002> hello
[05:19] <shulman> I recently had to make a change to my monitor configuration (I had a dual screen Nvidia setup, and one of the monitors went dead) - now I'm trying to reconfigure xorg.conf to handle a single, widescreen LCD, however I don't seem to be able to get the aspect ratio right. Could someone please take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong?  It's at http://pastebin.ca/1273117
[05:19] <[TiZ]> Null-e: Also, if you prefer the GUI way of doing things, you can right click on the folder in nautilus, click properties, then go to the permissions tab, change the permissions how you want them, and then click the button to apply to enclosed files and folders.
[05:19] <[TiZ]> Draceee: there should be a volume icon in your panel.
[05:20] <srx2002> yup " pcm "
[05:20] <srx2002> usually next to the time and date
[05:20] <srx2002> usually
[05:20] <rabiddachshund> I'm trying to mount my second drive at startup but it keeps calling it 200.0 GB Drive. I tried to add a label to it in fstab but it just says bad line
[05:21] <Draceee> nope
[05:21] <Draceee> nothing about sound in system -> administration
[05:21] <srx2002> do you have sound?
[05:21] <[TiZ]> "nope?" What do you mean, "nope?"
[05:21] <[TiZ]> No, wrong.
[05:21] <Draceee> yea
[05:21] <n8tuser> rabiddachshund-> look into udev rules..  see  /etc/udev/rules.d/   dir
[05:21] <srx2002> so you have sound?
[05:21] <[TiZ]> There's a little speaker icon next to your time/date thing. On the top panel.
[05:21] <[TiZ]> Unless you accidentally got rid of it
[05:21] <Draceee> no way
[05:22] <Draceee> oo
[05:22] <jipang_menjerit> hi there!
[05:22] <Draceee> i see
[05:22] <[TiZ]> Found it?
[05:22] <Guest93592> can i join discuss speaker issue??
[05:22] <srx2002> you see?
[05:22] <srx2002> you mean you see the icon
[05:22] <srx2002> or " awee...I see what your talking about....but still don't actually see the icon
[05:23] <Guest93592> volume control > preference > show all icon
[05:23] <Melik> i updated my kernel to 2.6.27-9 earlier, why is it still using 2.6.27-7; how can i change it to ..-9
[05:23] <rabiddachshund> n8tuser: ty. What am I looking for?
[05:23] <jipang_menjerit> I got some issue on new jaunty alpha 1 version
[05:24] <n8tuser> rabiddachshund-> google for udev rules naming
[05:24] <Null-e> i tried chmod -R 667 and now it says the directory has 0 files [TiZ]
[05:25] <srx2002> guest: where's volume control
[05:25] <Guest93592> PM me
[05:25] <[TiZ]> Null-e: Who told you to chmod -R 667? 'cos I know I said to chmod -R +w
[05:26] <Guest93592> i'll TRY to solve
[05:26] <macjason0607> anyone using kde 4
[05:26] <Null-e> it said it couldnt do +w after -R [TiZ]
[05:26] <Null-e> it thought +w was the command or something
[05:27] <[TiZ]> Null-e: Oh. Well maybe I had the order wrong. In any case, let's just do this the GUI way. Hold on a moment.
[05:27] <psyferre> hey folks, can anyone help with the appropriate way to add multiple dns servers to /etc/network/interfaces ?  I'm playing with getting an ubuntu server to join an Active Directory domain and need to add the domain controller to dns
[05:27] <rabiddachshund> n8tuser: so, the kernel is naming it and I need to write a udev rule to change that because an fstab label won't work?
[05:28] <oommoo> 中文的怎么进？
[05:28] <psyferre> I'm seeing a lot of conflicting information out there in the rare event i find something not related to actually HOSTING dns
[05:28] <[TiZ]> Okay, Null-e. Open the file browser, go to your folder. Right click, properties. Then go to the permissions tab. Change the file and folder permissions the way you want, and then hit the Apply to Enclosed Files button.
[05:28] <n8tuser> rabiddachshund-> thats the idea.
[05:29] <rabiddachshund> n8tuser: ok, just making sure I'm on the right level. Thanks
[05:29] <n8tuser> rabiddachshund-> btw, fstab is manually modified, not kernel created
[05:29] <Guest23411> can someone tell me what the best program in Intrepid is for ipods?
[05:29] <Null-e> i chose access files w/ read & write and they are still hidden [TiZ]
[05:30] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79137/
[05:30] <elostio> -> psyferre why not add them to the /etc/resolv.conf ?
[05:30] <screamsayonara> how do i get my wireless working
[05:30] <Gnea> psyferre: dns servers go in /etc/resolv.conf
[05:30] <n8tuser> psyferre-> you dont put the dns name on interfaces file
[05:31] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: wait
[05:31] <[TiZ]> Null-e, chmod -R to 777. That will allow you to browse your folder... but every file will become executable.
[05:31] <psyferre> elostio: i read somewhere that resolv.conf is rewritten often by information from the connected router, so I thought I was on the wrong track
[05:31] <Gnea> !wireless | screamsayonara
[05:31] <psyferre> Thanks everyone, i appreciate the input :)
[05:31] <Gnea> psyferre: that's dependent on the information it gets from dhcp
[05:31] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: sorry, fixed a type-o: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79138/
[05:31] <Gnea> psyferre: which, of course, you can modify
[05:32] <psyferre> Gnea: and if the box is using a static ip, no worries?
[05:32] <n8tuser> psyferre-> you have to look at dhclient.conf
[05:32] <Gnea> psyferre: exactly. :)
[05:32] <[TiZ]> Null-E: Actually, I don't feel too good telling you to do that. Hold on a second, I need to get the standard file permissions dialog back in my nautilus so I can guide you.
[05:32] <psyferre> Gnea: awesome :)  thanks.
[05:32] <\slash> is there a limewire equivilent on ubuntu
[05:32] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: last one, i promise: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79139/
[05:32] <attidack> So I just updated my kernal and i cant get my Nvidia drivers to work
[05:32] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: not much of an artist
[05:32] <tritium> !limewire | \slash
[05:33] <\slash> awesome
[05:33] <\slash> thanks
[05:33] <attidack> So I just updated my kernal and i cant get my Nvidia drivers to work
[05:33] <attidack> any Ideas
[05:33] <\slash> i have java jdk6 installed is that enough to go ahead with the limewire setup?
[05:33] <\slash> !Java
[05:33] <Gnea> attidack: 8.04 or 8.10?
[05:33] <attidack> 8.10
[05:33] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> the host 1.100  are you sure thats the ip address?
[05:33] <Gnea> attidack: and you rebooted?
[05:33] <attidack> yeah i have to boot in low graphics mode
[05:34] <peepsalot> what (if any) gnutella clients do you folks like best?
[05:34] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> is the xbox and pc 1.106 working okay?
[05:34] <geco> Anyone here have an ipod working with intrepid?
[05:34] <Gnea> attidack: okay, so go into synaptic or open a terminal and re-install the nvidia driver
[05:34] <snarkster> i need alittle push in the right direction with compiling something that doesnt have a configure file
[05:34] <Gnea> snarkster: does it have a README file?
[05:35] <Null-e> [TiZ] 777 did the drick
[05:35] <Null-e> trick*
[05:35] <Null-e> lucky 7's...
[05:35] <snarkster> yes I have read the read me it talks about needing fuse dev files which i =believe I have installed..
[05:35] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: yes
[05:35] <snarkster> but it doesnt say much else about it
[05:35] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: well, except for one thing
[05:35] <snarkster> im trying to build the cbmfs fuse module
[05:35] <Gnea> snarkster: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep fuse | grep dev  <-- make sure
[05:35] <[TiZ]> Null-e: But that will make every file in that folder executable. You don't want that.
[05:36] <attidack> brb restarting
[05:36] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: they dont work if i plug in the network from the linux box.  This is a new problem
[05:36] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> huh? which one are you answering? i have several questions
[05:36] <snarkster> yes its installed
[05:36] <paul68> hi I have a laptop with 2 partitions 1 partition with vista a second partition with a lot of data and my linux partition. question is there a way that I can backup ubuntu so that I keep all the installed programs when installing it on the vista partition or is there a way to generate a script that I can launch after a fresh install to make sure that all current installed programs are installed with 1 command
[05:36] <Gnea> snarkster: where did you download the source from?
[05:36] <[TiZ]> Null-e: I guess it's not so bad. I can never figure out chmod when permissions are different between files and folders.
[05:37] <n8tuser> !clone | paul68
[05:37] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: let me rephrase to clear this up
[05:37] <snarkster> Gnea: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Filesystems/cbmfs-15536.shtml
[05:37] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> reference your drawing so we can discuss them easily
[05:37] <Dwade09> hi i am trying to find the samba download for windows vista, can someone please guide me to the link.
[05:37] <screamsayonara> i have just installed the ndiswrapper package and the windows driver for my wireless card, and in the terminal it says the driver is installed but it says nothing about the actual device, and i still cant see any wireless networks... what should i do
[05:38] <paul68> n8tuser: thanks
[05:38] <tritium> Dwade09: you're offtopic
[05:38] <[TiZ]> Null-E: Run this command to fix the permissions on the files, while still allowing directory browsing: chmod -R a-x+X dirname
[05:38] <[TiZ]> Gotta go.
[05:38] <Dwade09> tritium, #ubuntu+1 ?
[05:38] <jdk1976> anyone familiar with troubleshooting wifi?

[05:38] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: 1.100 is the static-ip of my linux box.  1.1 is the ip address of first router (dhcp server).  That part is correct.  When i upgraded to 8.04, two things happened: first, the linux box (1.100) doesnt get on the network (i switched to dhcp -- which would be 1.108 if it worked), but that didnt help.  The second issue is that 1.106 and 1.107 dont work
[05:39] <attidack> any Ideas
[05:39] <tritium> Dwade09: no, Windows Vista is offtopic in all ubuntu channels
[05:39] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: just noticed that the PC ip and XBOX ips are the same.  that was an accident XBOX should be 1.107. sorry
[05:39] <Dwade09> thnks tritium

[05:40] <snarkster> Gnea: yup sure are, I didnt have pkg-config
[05:40] <snarkster> but thats no installed as well.

[05:41] <mezquitale> !samba
[05:41] <paul68> !automate >paul68

[05:41] <Gnea> snarkster: okay, and what happens when you type 'make'?
[05:41] <snarkster> Gnea: hmm after installing pkg-config it appears to have worked, after installing a fuse module do i need to relog or something
[05:41] <Gnea> attidack: it's dpkg, not pkg

[05:42] <Gnea> snarkster: cheers :)
[05:42] <jdk1976> tritium: thanks. do you have any idea what would make ubuntu not look for wifi connections, and only attempt to make wired connections?
[05:42] <snarkster> ima ry it
[05:42] <attidack> so just restart to or try to reinstall again
[05:42] <sebastien_> Hi i got that problem with my eeepc 904HD i can't install the Fn button so can someone help  me ?

[05:43] <Gnea> attidack: did it install okay that time?
[05:43] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> you have to unplug the linux to get the xp and the other pc working?
[05:43] <attidack> yeah
[05:43] <Gnea> attidack: okay, now:  sudo apt-get -f install   make sure it's all caught up
[05:43] <Null-e> exit

[05:44] <attidack> kk should i reactivate it in the hardware as well
[05:44] <Gnea> sebastien_: try #ubuntu-eeepc
[05:44] <jdk1976> tritium: it's a wireless macbook air tht's never been wired, and never looked for wired connections thus far,
[05:44] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> was the info you pasted earlier accurate regarding linux box?
[05:44] <Gnea> attidack: reactivate in the hardware?

[05:46] <Kta___> any help??
[05:47] <tritium> jdk1976: please see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir1-1/Intrepid?action=show&redirect=Macbook_Air
[05:47] <Kta___> i think that i need to active a "keep alive" timeout, but i don't know where...:S
[05:48] <Gnea> Kta___: so are you using ssh or ftp?
[05:48] <Kta___> i've the same problem in both...
[05:48] <slackgen> I don't understand upstart. How does it know what services I want to start?
[05:48] <n8tuser> ngabriel4977_-> you need to respond quicker, am in a hurry
[05:48] <Gnea> Kta___: which ftp daemon are you using?
[05:49] <Kta___> i'm connecting to a web server (not mine)
[05:49] <Gnea> that doesn't appear to be ubuntu-related.
[05:50] <attidack> HEY IT WORKED Thanks
[05:50] <Gnea> awesome
[05:50] <Kta___> well, if i do it with "notepad++" for example, everything goes right...
[05:50] <paul68> n8tuser: when cloning my drive with cloning those it also keep in mind that I installed the bcm drivers for my wifi or do I need to do something to add them
[05:50] <attidack> now how do i get the compiz Icon to work every startup
[05:50] <attidack> I get compiz to run just not the icon
[05:50] <Kta___> but when i connect with ubuntu, it's stop working
[05:51] <Gnea> Kta___: you're being very vague and not answering any of my questions. perhaps you are unaware of the support process here....
[05:51] <Kta___> what? i'm answering...
[05:51] <Gnea> no, you're not.
[05:51] <Kta___> wich one?
[05:51] <n8tuser> paul68-> you can individually copy a file over to make sure.. find out where that driver resides and copy one over to your home dir for safekeeping
[05:51] <attidack> but when i connect with ubuntu, it's stop working
[05:51] <attidack> lol
[05:51] <Kta___> read before

[05:52] <Kta___>  i'm connecting to a web server (not mine) / well, if i do it with "notepad++" for example, everything goes right... /  but when i connect with ubuntu, it's stop working
[05:52] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: i was getting the new data... sorry
[05:52] <Gnea> Kta___: yeah, i connect to a web server too, everytime i visit a "web page".
[05:52] <slackgen> Anyone? How do I enable/disable services that aren't in the "services settings" gui? (like mpd)
[05:53] <Kta___> well, i connect to it with ftp or ssh, because i want to edit a website, not to visit it...
[05:53] <Gnea> Kta___: none of what you just said makes any logical sense.
[05:53] <Gnea> ooooh, you are trying to edit a website
[05:53] <rww> slackgen: try BootUp Manager (package bum, repository universe)
[05:53] <brack10> I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on a Dell OptiPlex GX260 and the graphics card acceleration isn't working with the built in card.  I know it's some kind of intel but I don't know how to proceed from here... I followed some instructions on installing intel video card drivers but apt get said they're already installed
[05:53] <Kta___> yes... that because i connect with ftp or ssh
[05:53] <brack10> anyone help?
[05:54] <Kta___> intel must work without doing anything...
[05:54] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: if you're still around, here is the most accurate info http://paste.ubuntu.com/79147/
[05:54] <Gnea> Kta___: see, I didn't assume that, because assuming doesn't work. if you want people to help you without getting snarky about it, you need to be more specific about your needs
[05:54] <slackgen> rww, brilliant! thanks
[05:54] <ngabriel4977_> n8tuser: i reverted back to the original config and updated the results of ifconfig ....
[05:54] <brack10> Kta__: well it works but it's not accelerated so I can't install compiz etc
[05:54] <rww> Gnea: to be honest, you're coming off as kind of an ass.
[05:54] <scientes> where do i tell ubuntu what swap device to use
[05:54] <Kta___> i say at first, that i'm trying to connect to a sever using ftp or ssh, i don't connect to it with it to see a website...
[05:54] <bsusa> how do you find a bluetooth device in mythbuntu?
[05:55] <scientes> it broke cause it thinks it knows my computer better than me
[05:55] <scientes> it thinks there are swap partitions that dont exist
[05:55] <slackgen> scientes, it should be in /etc/fstab
[05:55] <Gnea> rww: whatever.
[05:55] <slackgen> scientes, there should be a line like UUID=1a7a2174-9915-4af4-a7d7-d83d0ddf9460 none swap sw 0 0
[05:55] <scientes> it is and only that one but when i rebuild the kernel it allways says it found more than 1 possible when there is only 1
[05:55] <Gnea> Kta___: is it a frontpage server?
[05:55] <attidack> brack look in synaptic and see if it is there
[05:55] <Kta___> no, it's a linux one...
[05:55] <scientes> slackgen, yes my fstab is corectly set up
[05:56] <Kta___> i don't know the version, one sec.
[05:56] <scientes> and i have a resume=/dev/ for my grub, but hibernation just broke because of some stupid upgrade
[05:56] <slackgen> ah
[05:56] <scientes> and hibernation is not smart, it broke alsa so i removeed that and then it complained about not finding the alsa modulee--duh
[05:57] <slackgen> scientes, it may be rejected the swap due to the broken image left still written
[05:57] <scientes> no the swap is mounted
[05:57] <client> ce_cri_efez
[05:57] <slackgen> scientes, soo.. what's the problem then?
[05:57] <scientes> it wont hibernate
[05:57] <attidack> soby do you work for comcast
[05:57] <Gnea> rww: I'd rather come off as an ass and know what I'm talking about, rather than assume that the solution has nothing to do with the problem and look like an even bigger idiot by wasting unnecessary time trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.
[05:57] <tritium> scientes: you can't hibernate without swap
[05:57] <scientes> and it seems to be trying to suspend to a non-existant partition
[05:57] <attidack> sobby__
[05:58] <scientes> I have 25 G of swap
[05:58] <scientes> tritium
[05:58] <tritium> rww, Gnea: please take it to -offtopic
[05:58] <slackgen> that's a lot.
[05:58] <Kta___> Gnea, it's red hat 3.4.6-10
[05:58] <scientes> i know the obvious tritium
[05:58] <tritium> scientes: that's *way* too much
[05:58] <scientes> i have tmp mounted as tmpfs
[05:58] <scientes> so i want to be safe
[05:58] <slackgen> scientes, it just suspends to whatever swap it can find, not any particular partition
[05:58] <Kta___> Gnea, and the server daemon is pure-ftpd
[05:58] <Gnea> Kta___: okay. what are you using to connect to it with? nautilus?
[05:58] <ubuntu_> double size of you ram
[05:58] <Kta___> yes...
[05:59] <attidack> pedkac
[05:59] <Kta___> i mount a folder with nautiulus
[05:59] <Stormy888> why are there no staff in here?
[05:59] <blakkheim> i'm having a bit of trouble with firestarter. i used to see a lot of blocked attempts in the log, but lately i haven't seen any. is there a way to make sure it's working?
[05:59] <scientes> tritium, that is irrelevent to my problem
[05:59] <tritium> Stormy888: why do you think that?
[05:59] <krish> is a laptop with intel celeron and 1 GB RAM enough for running ubuntu 8.10?
[05:59] <Gnea> Stormy888: why do you want to know?
[05:59] <Kta___> i open a php file (for example) with gedit, and if i wait 2 minutes and tryes to save, gedit stop working...
[05:59] <attidack> pebkac:  Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair
[06:00] <Gnea> Kta___: okay, then it's a timeout issue on the pure-ftpd server's end. do yo know who maintains it?
[06:00] <Gnea> *you
[06:00] <scientes> look my hibernate has worked for a while now and i have not restarted and it sudenly would work last night
[06:00] <Guest8564> can someone tell me if ubuntu supports the fingerprint reader on most new laptops?
[06:00] <Kta___> yes, but the can't change it, i'm asking if i can set the nautilus "keep alive" packet...?
[06:00] <Kta___> *they can't
[06:00] <Gnea> oh, okay.
[06:01] <Kta___> it's a shared web server... so...
[06:01] <Guest8564> anyone?
[06:01] <tritium> Guest8564: yes
[06:01] <shuhari> Man i'm having nothing but problems with ubuntu Hardy 8.04 + my ATI 4870.  it IS a supported card right?
[06:01] <krish>  is a laptop with intel celeron and 1 GB RAM enough for running ubuntu 8.10?
[06:02] <Kta___> shuhari, have you installed the ATI propietary driver?
[06:02] <Madpilot> krish, absolutely
[06:02] <Kta___> yes, of course krish... i run it on a p3 500 with 256Mb... :P
[06:02] <tritium> Guest8564: you need the thinkfinger-tools package, and its dependencies.  so, "sudo apt-get install thinkfinger-tools", and then read the docs in /usr/share/doc/thinkfinger-tools/
[06:02] <Gnea> Kta___: have you tried gftp?
[06:02] <shuhari> Kta____ Yes I have
[06:02] <Kta___> ati driver isn't so good :p
[06:02] <krish> Kta_ i just now upgraded from 8.04 and I feel 8.10 is a bit slow
[06:03] <Kta___> well, a bit..
[06:03] <krish> Madpilot i just now upgraded from 8.04 and I feel 8.10 is a bit slow
[06:03] <Kta___> i you wan't it to go quickly use Xubuntu...
[06:03] <Guest8564> oh i am looking to get this laptop but i want to make sure everything is supported to it's fullest http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4198912&sku=O261-NB17-H
[06:03] <Madpilot> krish, it does seem a bit more sluggish here, too
[06:03] <Gnea> Guest8564: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/get-your-fingerprint-reader-to-work-in.html
[06:04] <Kta___> Gnea, i try it, but i want to use it without having to "upload/download" any file...
[06:04] <krish> Kta_ I am fine with Ubuntu 8.10 I guess we have to get used to the sluggishness
[06:04] <tritium> Guest8564: did you read what I sent you?
[06:04] <Guest8564> yes
[06:04] <dsdeiz> hi anyone experienced pidgin not being able to send file (w/ a ym acct)?
[06:05] <blakkheim> i'm having a bit of trouble with firestarter. i used to see a lot of blocked attempts in the "events" tab, but lately i haven't seen any. is there a way to make sure it's working?
[06:05] <Guest8564> http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4198912&sku=O261-NB17-H is this a good laptop for ubuntu for the price? I need it for music, web design, and surfing the internet
[06:05] <krish> Madipilot I guess we will get used to the slugishness
[06:05] <tritium> krish: it's not noticeably slower
[06:06] <krish> tritium u r right
[06:06] <dsdeiz> hello guys.. :)
[06:06] <Gnea> Kta___: hrm, what about with the 'Connect to Server' option, which protocol are you enabling? sftp://?
[06:06] <Melik> Guest8564,
[06:06] <Melik> yes thats a good system
[06:06] <krish> hey can anyone tell me which external wi-fi adapter goes well with ubuntu 8.10?
[06:06] <screamsayonara> how do i check if my wireless drivers work
[06:06] <Guest8564> ty
[06:06] <Melik> pretty pricey though.
[06:06] <Gnea> screamsayonara: iwconfig
[06:06] <Kta___> i've try ssh and ftp (with login)
[06:06] <Melik> but nevertheless good.
[06:07] <screamsayonara> if it says, no wireless extensions, does that mean it doesnt work?
[06:07] <Gnea> Kta___: well, I ask because ssh and ftp are 2 different protocols. so it helps to stick with one and not the other.
[06:08] <Gnea> Kta___: i recommend ssh, and you should be able to make it work like this... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=889203
[06:08] <Kta___> well, try with ftp... xd
[06:08] <Kta___> hehe
[06:08] <krish>  hey can anyone tell me which external wi-fi adapter goes well with ubuntu 8.10?
[06:08] <Kta___> but not every server have ssh access
[06:08] <Kta___> xd
[06:08]  * Gnea has found that ftp is an inferior protocol
[06:08] <[empire]> Gnea: sftp ftw :p
[06:08] <Kta___> i found that page 1 minute ago
[06:08] <Gnea> [empire]: lol, it's just ssh ;)
[06:09] <ganesh> how to use gtalk on linux
[06:09] <Kta___> i'm trying xd
[06:09] <dnyy> So if my Windows partition is listed before my Ubuntu one in gparted, what'll happen if I delete the Windows one?
[06:09] <simplexio> ganesh: pidgin
[06:09] <simplexio> dnyy: partiotion is deleted?
[06:10] <dnyy> Heh, well will the ubuntu partition take up the free space, or will it be useless?
[06:10] <Gnea> Kta___: there's this, too: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=275856&page=4
[06:10] <jdk1976> anybody got any love for a mac ubuntu user with wifi problems?
[06:10] <simplexio> dnyy: depends... you can make new partition on it or some programs can resize partition
[06:11] <[empire]> Gnea: right. sftp is ssh
[06:11] <Kta___> thanks Gnea, i will try that solution, and i tell youx d
[06:11] <Kta___> xd
[06:11] <blakkheim> i'm having a bit of trouble with firestarter. i used to see a lot of blocked attempts in the "events" tab.. but lately i haven't seen any. is there a way to make sure it's working?
[06:11] <dnyy> simplexio: i thought i could, but someone had mentioned that if the windows partition was first, I couldn't resize the ubuntu one to take it over. :/
[06:11] <[empire]> ssh <> sftp
[06:12] <CaptainMorgan> n8tuser, I had to restart my system, and when I logged back in to try and see if the gnome-terminal no longer asks me if I really want to close - it's still asking me... :(
[06:13] <simplexio> dnyy: that is possible, i dont do partition resizing.. but you can format that windows partition to something smart like xfs and mount it to /home/ or something
[06:14] <simplexio> blakkheim: iptales -L shows firewall rules
[06:14] <dnyy> simplexio: Ah, that'll work then.  As long as 40GB isn't just sitting there, wasting away. :p
[06:14] <blakkheim> simplexio: thanks, but reading this is a bit over my head. what would i want to look for to make sure it is dropping the incoming connections?
[06:15] <ganesh> simplexio, there i can use only chat
[06:15] <jdk1976> damn man
[06:15] <simplexio> blakkheim: default policy drop i think
[06:15] <ganesh> simplexio, i want to do voice chat
[06:15] <jdk1976> i gets no love
[06:15] <simplexio> ganesh: ye. im not aware voice gtalk version for linux
[06:16] <ganesh> anyone can tell me to use gtalk on linux
[06:17] <blakkheim> simplexio: i see "(policy DROP)" in a few sections, so it looks like it's working. why, then, would firestarter not show blocked attempts?
[06:18] <simplexio> blakkheim: mayb noone is trying to connect ?
[06:18] <simplexio> ganesh: try wine + gtalk
[06:18] <blakkheim> simplexio: there used to be constant connection attempts in it, but after upgrading to 8.10 i have yet to see any, even when plugged directly into the modem (using no router between)
[06:18] <ganesh> simplexio, that too i tried no way
[06:19] <simplexio> ganesh: google tell me that tapioca supports voice gtalk
[06:21] <simplexio> blakkheim: MAYBE IT DOSENT LOG THEM ANYMORE
[06:21] <simplexio> uups.. good old capslock
[06:21] <blakkheim> is there a way to check that?
[06:21] <ganesh> simplexio, what do you mean , im not getting
[06:21] <ganesh> simplexio, tapioca is a pkg
[06:21] <bjbum> does anyone know if it's possible to install windows onto a separate (bootable) partition using ubuntu and virtualbox? not sure what the limitations are in this process >.<
[06:22] <Kta___> you can do it using vmware, but with virtualbox...
[06:22] <Kta___> i don't know...
[06:22] <simplexio> bjbum: it's possible for vbox use, but last time i looked it wasnt trivial
[06:23] <bjbum> hmm
[06:23] <simplexio> bjbum: + windows is asshole when it comes situtions where hardware changes constantly
[06:23] <blakkheim> simplexio: what would i need to do to check if logging it on/off?
[06:24] <mylisto> hey everyone
[06:24] <simplexio> blakkheim: noidea
[06:24] <mylisto> Having a problem with movie player on ubuntu
[06:24] <mylisto> When I am watching a streaming video and I try to fast forward it...I get a demulitplex error...
[06:24] <mylisto> can't fast forward
[06:24] <bjbum> yeah. that's one of the reasons i was gonna try to install windows to a partition from ubuntu. the windows install discs i have dont have sata drivers on them >.<
[06:25] <mylisto> haha...
[06:25] <simplexio> bjbum: :) i know that problem
[06:25] <mylisto> had that problem bjbum
[06:25] <simplexio> bjbum: you can avoid that problem by making your own xp install disk
[06:26] <bjbum> yeah that's an option too. i haven't slipstreamed drivers onto a disk before. wasn't sure if i could do it in ubuntu, or if i had to use some sort of emulation to do it
[06:27] <mylisto> anyone ever had the demultiplex problem before?
[06:27] <n-iCe> question, how you guys would use grep to retrieve files with an specific text in the whole system. will grep -ri 'test' * , do the trick??
[06:27] <screamsayonara> how do i uninstall ndiswrapper and the drivers i have just installed for my non functioning wireless card so i can try again
[06:28] <simplexio> n-iCe: find / | grep something is old way to do it
[06:29] <simplexio> n-iCe: or find / > allfile.txt &&  grep something allfiles.txt if you need to change that something, or you can use locate too
[06:30] <bjbum> is that what you did simplexio? made your own xp install disk?
[06:31] <bjbum> mylisto, wondering what you did too :o
[06:31] <n-iCe> simplexio: I need to find a text in all the files
[06:31] <mylisto> um...
[06:31] <mylisto> did a live boot of linux
[06:31] <mylisto> and just used that
[06:32] <mylisto> oh wait
[06:32] <mylisto> try to slipstream a disk...with the sata drivers
[06:32] <Pupeno> How do I change the domain name of my ubuntu desktop?
[06:32] <mylisto> oh wait...
[06:32] <mylisto> I remember what I did...
[06:32] <mylisto> I turned sata support off in bios
[06:32] <dnyy> Does localpurge work when installing through add/remove programs and synatpic?  Everything I read is making me think it only runs after a 'apt-get install packagename' ran through the terminal. ;o
[06:32] <mylisto> that solved my issue
[06:32] <tritium> !enter | mylisto

I can login with a domain user name, but does anyone know if there is a way to add members of an AD group to sudoers for example?

[07:04] <arquebus> bikakO-an if statement
[07:04] <hateball> screamsayonara❅ That you either have a running package manager, or that you did not run it as a superuser
 , run command with sudo
[07:05] <dev_> pixelated, still no success;(

[07:11] <anthony> its very... different
[07:12] <greghere> How can I start the Gnome desktop, I can boot into KDE no problem but gnome is broken.
[07:12] <dev_> simplexio, there  is no gdm in /etc/X!! on my laptop
[07:12] <pixelated> anthony, yes but the path is one with learning and knowledge of those differences...
[07:12] <fridyrls> is there any way to edit registry information on an ntfs partition from ubuntu?
[07:13] <greghere> anthony, be warned though, that Linux is great untill it breaks, then its a nightmare!!
[07:13] <simplexio> dev_: i noticed that too.. no that dir in ubuntu, but look to ~/.xsession or /etc/X11/Xsession.d/

[07:18] <simplexio> greghere: if something brokes you log into console and throw few magic commands and it works again
[07:18] <greghere> Oh yes there is! Unless you are a computer genius you flounder so much!
[07:18] <kai> simplexio: I tried doing that :D nothing was broken until i used my own magic
[07:18] <thomasite> Hello. I have a problem deleting permanently a folder that is inside the Trash Bin. Each time I hit the delete key, an error message appears saying that permission is denied. Does this mean that I have to delete the folder as a root? If so, how do I do that? Thanks a lot!
[07:18] <simplexio> KR-data: well. far as i know linux lacks needed libraries to actuaally reconize fingerprints and use them something. but there is project for it
[07:18] <greghere> Yes no worries, of course we all know what those "Magic commands" are!
[07:19] <simplexio> thomasite: using sudo rm -rf dir is easiest option
[07:19] <simplexio> greghere: yes, offcourse we do :)
[07:19] <greghere> simplexio, and is so easy when you cant even get to the console!
[07:19] <KR-data> simplexio: ok, then I'll have to wait, just wanted to play with my new laptop if possible :p
[07:20] <thomasite> simplexio: So I just issue this command---> sudo rm -rf dir<--- and replace dir with the name of the folder?
[07:20] <simplexio> greghere: after few years of using linux  you know them. its not like linux distros are easy to brake but users are idiots
[07:20] <greghere> Simplexio, Thats great, some of us dont!
[07:20] <simplexio> thomasite: da
[07:20] <simplexio> KR-data: try google about that stuff, my data is quite old- maybe they have got something working
[07:21] <greghere> Simplexio, No not idiots! just new users!
[07:21] <simplexio> greghere: that's way you learn those commands, brake system and fix it
[07:21] <KR-data> simplexio: ok I'll try, thanks :)
[07:21] <thomasite> It's still there, simplexio.
[07:21] <simplexio> greghere: yeap.. like in every system it takes a while to learn stuff
[07:22] <greghere> simplexio, were you and "idiot" when you started or were you a computer genius from the start!
[07:22] <thomasite> The folder has a subfolder and the subfolder has another subfolder. Do I just include the whole path or just the name of the main folder?
[07:22] <greghere> simplexio, ok you are the "Man" help me fix this!
[07:22] <simplexio> greghere: idiot like every other 15y back then, now i have 10y+ experience from different systems so
[07:22] <Neurologic> How do you set something to run on startup? like Firestarter?
[07:23] <simplexio> greghere: sure i can. if you can tell me what is the problem
[07:23] <greghere> simplexio, Ok I await your knowledge and expertise!

[07:27] <simplexio> greghere: sound like it dosent even try to run gnome stuff. easiest way to try fix  it would be rm ~/-gnmome* to remove all gnome configs and reinstall or dpkg-reconfigure gnome-desktop-enviroment
[07:27] <simplexio> greghere: :), sound like gnome dosent get loaded at all, maybe because compiz
[07:28] <simplexio> greghere: but i would start fixin with those commands

[07:32] <simplexio> greghere: what does sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop say ? or if that dosent work sudo dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-desktop

[07:38] <simplexio> greghere: but reinstall that ubuntu-desktop (its gnome + ubuntu spec stuff) and come back
[07:38] <greghere> simplexio, so you just let the updates sit there, thats great for security/bug fixes??
[07:38] <ikonia> chairuou: need to find the guide

[07:41] <ikonia> arun_: that is true
[07:41] <rogan> Dabbu: one of the f keys
[07:41] <ikonia> arun_: maybe xubuntu is a better choice
[07:41] <arun_> ikonia:i hav only 256mb ram
[07:41] <Dabbu> rogan: its there but its not visible because its white in color
[07:42] <arun_> can i use ubuntu 7.10 or ubuntu 6.06..will it be better than xubuntu 8.10?
[07:42] <Neurologic> Need an opinion: Thunderbird or Evolution Mail?
[07:42] <ikonia> arun_: it will not be better
[07:42] <Neurologic> And why?
[07:42] <Defrysk> Neurologic, try them and find out
[07:43] <Neurologic> Defrysk, well Evolution I've used, since it's default on gnome. But I've only used TB on Windows O_o DIdn't use it much, just used outlook
[07:43] <arun_> ikonia:what should i sacrifice to switch to xubuntu from ubuntu?
[07:43] <indistylo> chairuou : Follow This : http://v0xel.wordpress.com/2006/05/23/canoon-lbp-1120-on-ubuntu-510-how-to/

[07:44] <ikonia> arun_: nothing
[07:44] <Defrysk> Neurologic, preferences are subjective , give thunderbird a go and see which you prefer
[07:44] <ardchoille> arun_: you should grab the xubuntu livecd and use it for a couple hours and see if you think it's for you
[07:44] <greghere> simplexio, same as it was before, all grey, blanc, void, nothing!
[07:44] <Neurologic> Defrysk, alright, I'll try it
[07:44] <ikonia> Neurologic: thats a personal choice, try both and see which one you like
[07:45] <arun_> i am now using breezy badger (ubuntu 5.10).what advantage will i get if i switch to latest version?
[07:45] <ikonia> arun_: laters packages, updates and support
[07:45] <ikonia> 65.10 is not supported
[07:45] <ikonia> 5.10 is not support
[07:46] <simplexio> greghere: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-7835.html , try those
[07:46] <arun_> i dont understand what s meant by support.from whom?
[07:46] <dev_> Arun, yes, you should atleast have 6.06
[07:46] <Defrysk> breezy is a stale version
[07:46] <ikonia> arun_: from canonica and the community
[07:46] <xat__> what's the app name of the splash screen that shows upon logging in?
[07:46] <arun_> is there any problem in getting softwares?
[07:46] <bazhang> arun_, no updates
[07:46] <Defrysk> usplash
[07:47] <greghere> simplexio, much quicker and far more productive to reformat and install windows XP, Thanks anyway.
[07:47] <Defrysk> oh no
[07:47] <xat__> not usplash.
[07:47] <Defrysk> nope sorry
[07:47] <systm> how do i get conky to not cover my icons?
[07:47] <pyrotix> aah. I just had an open office writer crash and lost a document. The recovery only got the very beginning of the document although I had the document finished and open for hours. Is there any way for me to get it back?
[07:48] <arun_> is wine only for games..i tried to install winamp.but it just appear and shuts down
[07:48] <simplexio> greghere: sure :) well you have working kde wich beats windwos anytime
[07:48] <Joe_> 8.04 seems to randomly freeze up on me... though it appears to only happen after a period (30+ minutes) of heavy upload (2-5Mbps sustained via torrents) anyone ever hear of this?  Very often the last thing in the logs is a series of errors about some redhat thing not being found
[07:48] <pyrotix> arun_: no. You can look at the wine appdb to see what programs work or if there are known workarounds.
[07:49] <Defrysk> xat__, gnome spash screen
[07:49] <Defrysk> splash*
[07:50] <simplexio> greghere: mv ~./config oldconfig and try again
[07:50] <Joe_> and by freeze I mean complete hard lock, requiring hitting the power button (network connection also drops, as shown via that computer dropping off my VPN)
[07:50] <chairman> hey i got my Ubuntu Ibex and GNOME desktop set up like MAC Leopard
[07:50] <arun_> can you tell me how can i install a tar.gz package.i extracted it and saw only folders like bin doc include lib samples
[07:50] <xat__> Defrysk: yeah. just found it
[07:50] <bazhang> arun_, for breezy?
[07:50] <arun_> ya
[07:50] <ikonia> arun_: your not intended to install things like that
[07:50] <bazhang> arun_, its eol
[07:50] <xat__> reason I ask is because for some reason it isn't finishing
[07:50] <ikonia> arun_: what do you want to install ?
[07:50] <Joe_> arun_ a tar.gz is a zipped set of files, you don't install
[07:51] <bazhang> arun_, that means we dont support it
[07:51] <xat__> it just sits on my desktop, and whenever a new app is loaded it actually shows up in it
[07:51] <bazhang> !eol | arun_ read this link
[07:51] <goat|lappy> Joe_: is this only over wireless?
[07:51] <Defrysk> arun_, get ibex and read the docs and howto's
[07:51] <arun_> can you tell me how can i play an mp3 file?
[07:51] <Joe_> goat|lappy no, it's a wired connection
[07:52] <ardchoille> !restricted | arun_
[07:52] <simplexio> greghere: and i dont see anyreason why autoupdate would broke working system mine is still working though i have booted in last 10 days,
[07:52] <goat|lappy> Joe_: ok, nevermind
[07:52] <kai> Can someone assist me? I need to rewrite GRUB strictly from windows, I have No discs, or flash drives, I just need simple steps to installing GRUB from windows.
[07:52] <Joe_> goat|lappy the redhat error isn't always there, but out of the last 6 freezes it was present for 4 (still waiting for the forced fsck check to see if it's there this time)
[07:52] <arun_> can i voice chat by something like google talk?
[07:53] <ikonia> arun_: not on 5.10
[07:53] <xat__> oh.
[07:53] <xat__> found someone with the same bug as me. yay https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/258046
[07:54] <turuburu> hi people
[07:54] <Joe_> on another note, anyone see any major issues on 8.10?  I delayed upgrade to 8.04 due to reported problems with Synergy (Synergy and Hamachi are required to work for me)
[07:54] <turuburu> what do u propose for vps with web server?debian etch, debian lenny or ubuntu 8.04, or 8.10? what is easiery to use for a server?ubuntu offers anything extra for a server?
[07:54] <bazhang> arun_, breezy is not supported. arun_ please update to a newer version.
[07:54] <Joe_> turburu I'd go with 8.04 for a server since it's a LTS
[07:55] <arun_> would you mind telling me whats installation means in linux?can i run a program here by double clicking an icon?
[07:55] <Joe_> turburu though in the past I've worked off debain web servers and never had any issues with them
[07:55] <Defrysk> arun_, are you a bot ?
[07:55] <SteveOHOHOHOH> god...my pussy is SO WET
[07:55] <Joe_> arun_ yes, some you can
[07:55] <turuburu> joe the matter is i already a server with debian etch. i m wondering if i need ubuntu. till now i use ubuntu at deskops only. because i dont have any experience with ubuntu server, can u tell me some advantages of having ubuntu as server instead of debian?
[07:55] <kai> SteveOHOHOHOH: Please stay on topic
[07:56] <turuburu> i just need justification support for my wish to move to ubuntu server
[07:56] <chris__> hey all
[07:56] <homecable> ubuntu server more uptodate then debain
[07:56] <Joe_> turburu If you're already using debain, are familiar with it and have no issues... I say there's no real gain to switch
[07:56] <homecable> no X
[07:56] <homecable> etc
[07:56] <mynx38> I like ubuntu server
[07:57] <wos> can anyone tell me how to set up proxies for individual servers in xchat
[07:57] <xat__> geez. nevermind. it seems even with having a newer gnome-session I still have the bug I linked to earlier
[07:57] <turuburu> i see joe. so all the management happens like debian. there is nothing that makes it easier than debian, in server level
[07:57] <turuburu> right?
[07:57] <fadai> hi, whenever I watch streaming videos from the browser.. after I fullscreen the video it unmaximizes itself, can anyone tell me how this is happening?
[07:57] <turuburu> homecable: yes it is more update, so that means it is not so secure as debian stable? or this argument is wrong?
[07:58] <homecable> turuburu> baicly then same
[07:58] <homecable> but unbuto is uptodate
[07:58] <homecable> use unbuto- server
[07:58] <Defrysk> turuburu, debian is as secure as ubuntu
[07:58] <ardchoille> is there something I need to click to report a bug as "needs packaging"?
[07:58] <turuburu> so u propose ubuntu server. 8.04 not 8.10 yet, right?
[07:58] <homecable> Linux clayman.ath.cx 2.6.24-22-server #1 SMP Mon Nov 24 19:14:19 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[07:58] <homecable> :P
[07:58] <arun_> i tried to install java sdk from terminal.actually the download file was a .bin file.so i typed <chmod 755 j2sdk-1_4_2_18-linux-i586.bin>.
[07:59] <arun_> then ./j2sdk-1_4_2_18-linux-i586.bin
[07:59] <Defrysk> turuburu, 804 (LTS)
[07:59] <arun_> it worked
[07:59] <turuburu> defrysk: thanks for making this clear. i had idea that debian etch is rock stable and ubuntu maybe crash or being hacked. probably i had wrong idea
[07:59] <arun_> but javac says command not found
[07:59] <djolefol> My friend using Hardy complained that a symlink to ntfs-partition was suddenly broken after login early yesterday UTC. Trying to open the link made Nautilus freeze. Is it possibly related to some recent update or not?
[08:00] <Defrysk> turuburu, if you are used to debian there is no seripus reason for having to switch
[08:00] <turuburu> so the correct decision is to put 8.04 64 bit. it will be stable and updated. and i must not update to 8.10. i must only update when 9.04 is available . right?
[08:00] <arun_> which is the best browser?
[08:00] <Defrysk> turuburu, you dont have to switch then in another 4.5 years
[08:00] <inyourgroove> firefox
[08:01] <speedy> i've been using network-manager-openvpn perfectly with ubuntu 8.04, when i upgraded to 8.10 my configuration doesnt work, using password with certificates (TLS), which forces me to use user certificate and private key, and i dont need to configure that
[08:01] <turuburu> defrysk i m used at ubuntu at home (desktops). at server i have debian. i m thinking if  i must switch to ubuntu, if it will be easier to administer, and updated
[08:01] <fridyrls> is there an app that will let me edit the registry of winblows from ubuntu? I already have a read/write ntfs partition mounted
[08:01] <arun_> do you have any second name?
[08:01] <bdelin88> WHAT THE F* IS THE PROBLEM WITH GTK THEMES!
[08:01] <turuburu> defrysk: i mean what is the next trustworthy server version. since you propose no 8.10, then 9.04? to prefer only LTS versions?
[08:01] <bdelin88> i keep installing themes that don't install the window borders, what the hell?
[08:01] <arun_> can i install chrome in ubuntu?
[08:01] <fridyrls> yes and no arun_
[08:02] <fridyrls> let me go find the link for the beta
[08:02] <ikonia> arun_: 5.10 is not supported
[08:02] <ikonia> arun_: do you understand that
[08:02] <Defrysk> turuburu, I would go in serverworld ponly for lts versions
[08:02] <arun_> yes
[08:02] <arun_> i understood
[08:02] <ikonia> arun_: so please stop asking us to support it
[08:02] <arun_> ok.sorry
[08:02] <Joe_> (8.04 random hard locks requiring reset button) ok, I've gone through all the logs... and I cannot find a single thing that looks out of place... are there some logs that aren't on the System Log Viewer where I might be able to find the cause for these random hard locks?
[08:02] <rage> Hey there, there is a log viewing program I have a memory of in either Ubuntu or Debian that showed power consumption history. Do you guys know where/what is that?
[08:02] <turuburu> defrysk what this means?
[08:02] <Defrysk> lts = long term support
[08:03] <turuburu> no i means what serverworld ponly
[08:03] <Defrysk> !lts | turuburu
[08:03] <fridyrls> arun_ http://www.codeweavers.com/services/ports/chromium/
[08:03] <turuburu> i know what is lts ;)
[08:04] <Defrysk> turuburu, i ments for servers its best to use lts, lts versions of ubuntu are more geared to stability
[08:04] <pluma> I upgraded to 8.10 and now my fgl dual screen setup ceased working. After switching to the failsafe xconf I accidentally changed my (user) resolution and now I can't change it anymore because I get a garbled mess on the screen. How do I reset my user settings for resolution to system default?
[08:04] <fridyrls> is there a registry editor for an ntfs partition on linux?
[08:04] <turuburu> i see. thanks defrysk! :)
[08:05] <spartanii117> fridyrls: you should be able to do that within wine
[08:05] <jim_p> how do i change the icons kde apps use... under gnome?
[08:06] <fridyrls> ok thanks
[08:06] <pluma> So two questions really: 1) how do I reset my user resolution in GNOME and 2) how do I get my ATI card to use a dual screen set-up in 8.10 (fgl seems to have vanished)?
[08:06] <bdelin88> does anyone out there use gnome-look?????????????????/
[08:06] <bdelin88> or install gtk themes
[08:07] <ikonia> bdelin88: yes
[08:07] <pluma> bdelin88: one questionmark suffices, thank you.
[08:07] <rage> Hey there, there is a log viewing program I have a memory of in either Ubuntu or Debian that showed power consumption history. Do you guys know where/what is that?
[08:07] <bdelin88> ok why do i keep getting retarded messages about my gtk theme not being installed, and why are some of these themes installing without window borders?
[08:07] <jim_p> bdelin88, me!!!!
[08:07] <djolefol> What could be reason for a symlink to ntfs-partition to broke, although the ntfs-partition is in fstab and has worked before?
[08:07] <fridyrls> spartanii117: how do you "sync" wine with a real partition?\
[08:07] <bdelin88> i download the entire tar and then i drop it into "appearance" and some work, some don't
[08:07] <ikonia> bdelin88: try reading those messag they are not "retarded"
[08:08] <bdelin88> i am reading them
[08:08] <ikonia> bdelin88: it depends how they are packaged up if they work that way or not
[08:08] <fridyrls> nvm I will just use google
[08:08] <bdelin88> it says i need the gtk theme and engine, and i have both
[08:08] <inyourgroove> fridyrls:http://www.soft411.com/company/MiTeC/MiTeC-Windows-Registry-File-Viewer.htm
[08:08] <fridyrls> thanks :)
[08:08] <bdelin88> well if they don't work that way, the author should say so in their post, should they not?
[08:08] <jim_p> bdelin88, sometimes you MUST have the proper theme engine to make the theme work
[08:08] <Joe_> anyone know of a server that logs system status (cpu usage, network usage, temps, etc) and saves to HD regurally that I could use to see if my crashes might be related to hardware in some way (even though all hardware tests says it's all good)
[08:09] <spartanii117> fridyrls: in your grouve found what you'er looking for
[08:09] <bdelin88> yes i understand that and i have trolled the net trying to find out ANYTHING about that, and I can't find a damn thing, nor does the author specify the theme engine necessary
[08:09] <ikonia> bdelin88: we do not make gnome-look - speak to the authors, there is sometimes are README's in the the tar files
[08:09] <bdelin88> I also am pulling up themes listed under "GTK 2.x" which is what I thought was native to ubuntu
[08:09] <fridyrls> thanks :). Will it let me edit the registry even though it is called windows registry file VIEWER?
[08:09] <pluma> How can I change/reset my user account's settings for the screen resolution from the command line?
[08:09] <bdelin88> so shouldn't that suffice as the theme engine, GTK+2.0?
[08:10] <ikonia> bdelin88: as I said, it depends on how they are packaged
[08:10] <jim_p> bdelin88, no. theme engines are like murrine, clearlooks, aurora etc
[08:10] <inyourgroove> fridyrls: I have no idea never used it, but was recommended on forums
[08:10] <bdelin88> pff
[08:10] <fridyrls> alright, thanks
[08:10] <jim_p> bdelin88, show me the theme to tell you the engine
[08:10] <bdelin88> 1 sec
[08:10] <ikonia> bdelin88: this is documented on gnome-look.org and also in the README's of the theme
[08:11] <racarter> is there a package for realplayer in the repos?
[08:11] <jim_p> bdelin88, and please highlight me when you refer to me. i have a mess of windows here to manage
[08:11] <spartanii117> pluma: the screen resolution is a system wide variable, look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the setting
[08:11] <bdelin88> i know it is just very irritating the amount of inconsistency in file packaging
[08:11] <pluma> Anyone? I've wasted two hours already on this tiny issue? There's got to be a way to fix it from the commandline.
[08:11] <sonoblaise> Hi!  I got a problem reading a video DVD (original) with totem and any dvd player i tried...  I even cant backup it on my computer...   Totem just load and exits without saying anything....  what can be the trouble
[08:11] <bdelin88> here: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Orange+door+hinge?content=77212
[08:11] <spartanii117> racarter: realplayer is not open source, and thus not in the repos
[08:11] <bdelin88> sry, how do i highlight you, what is the command
[08:11] <jim_p> bdelin88, wait a sec
[08:12] <ikonia> bdelin88: just ssay his name
[08:12] <jim_p> bdelin88, you put my name somewhere in the sentence
[08:12] <frybye> racarter: mplayer does a lot of the same stuff if I rem rightly..
[08:12] <bdelin88> i am new to irc, and i appreciate everyone's help and patience :)
[08:12] <inyourgroove> pluma: sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:12] <ardchoille> bdelin88: type the first few letters of their nick and hit the tab key
[08:12] <bdelin88> jim_p: alright thanks, easy enough
[08:12] <bdelin88> jimlol
[08:12] <jim_p> bdelin88, btw this is a gtk theme and an EMERALD window theme. not gnomes metacity
[08:13] <racarter> frybye, thanks just curious if there is a package for realplayer though
[08:13] <matthew_> Why wont my sound work? Worked fine yesterday.... just upgraded to 8.10 btw...
[08:13] <bdelin88> gnome is gtk based i thought?
[08:13] <racarter> also, i'm using 64bit version of ubuntu.. not sure if that's a problem too
[08:13] <pluma> inyourgroove: That's not the user settings, that's the system wide settings. They're fine. It only turns my screen into minced meat when I log in.
[08:13] <racarter> what is the package for advanced ui features?
[08:13] <tv> can anyone help me locating pixma ip 1200
[08:13] <jim_p> bdelin88, yes, but you can put other window managers to work with gnome too
[08:13] <tv> ppd
[08:13] <tv> file
[08:14] <damijit> Hello, I'm trying to boot from a USB stick I set up using the tool in 8.10, but I am getting "operating system not found". That's about all the information I have--any idea what's going on?
[08:14] <frybye> racarter: cant be cos the code is proprietary - the owners dont want it that way.. etc..
[08:14] <bdelin88> jim_p: GTK is the main theme though?  Shouldn't this work just fine?
[08:14] <racarter> ok
[08:14] <l43a2> u got ur system to boot from USB first
[08:14] <ikonia> damijit: that stick is not valid, or it's not booting from it, what tool did you use
[08:14] <l43a2> not hard drive
[08:14] <l43a2> :P
[08:14] <racarter> what's the package for advanced effects?
[08:14] <spartanii117> racarter: yes, it's called realplayer; sudo apt-get install realplayer
[08:14] <racarter> realplayer doesn't seem to be availale for 64bit..
[08:14] <inyourgroove> pluma: try removing the settings in you home folder
[08:14] <racarter> unless i am mistaken?
[08:15] <bdelin88> i see know read me files here either
[08:15] <jim_p> bdelin88, can i pm you to explain why?
[08:15] <bdelin88> no*
[08:15] <frybye> spartanii117: really? that is new too me...!
[08:15] <goat|lappy> racarter: compizconfig-settings-manager
[08:15] <pluma> inyourgroove: _where_ in my home folder? I don't want to delete all of .gconf and the lot.
[08:15] <bdelin88> yes please do :)
[08:15] <damijit> ikonia: it's the "Make USB Startup Disc" tool that comes with Ubuntu 8.10 (under System > Administration)
[08:15] <racarter> thanks
[08:15] <Joe_> someone have a few minutes to help me try and debug, seemingly, random hard locks in 8.04 (also was present in 7.10).  I have theories but logs do not seem to support them
[08:16] <inyourgroove> pluma: i have no idea where exactly it could be, it was just a potential solution
[08:16] <spartanii117> frybye: i thought as you did, but he kept insisting, so i pulled up a terminal and checked
[08:16] <djolefol> Before writing a ntfs-partition to fstab, it was tried to be mounted by clicking its icon > properties > Volume > Settings, where mountpoint, filesystem and mount options were copied from above. It only resulted in breaking the manual mount and the whole access to that partition. What went wrong?
[08:16] <tv> guys whats the difference between intrepid and hardy
[08:16] <sonoblaise> Hi!  I got a problem reading a video DVD (original) with totem and any dvd player i tried...  I even cant backup it on my computer...   Totem just load and exits without saying anything....  what can be the trouble
[08:16] <arun_> is there any way to play mp3
[08:16] <frybye> spartanii117: you got medibuntu sources installed or similar?
[08:17] <Joe_> arun_ play an mp3 in what?
[08:17] <ardchoille> arun_: I answered you for that already
[08:17] <arun_> ubuntu
[08:17] <elkbuntu> tv, intrepid has newer versions of the software that ubuntu packages.
[08:17] <inyourgroove> sonoblaise: you need libdvdcss
[08:17] <pluma> inyourgroove: Do you see my problem? I've spent two hours trying to find the damn file and I still haven't a clue. I don't have KDE, so I can't check whether the resolution is shared (i.e. not GNOME-related), but I would guess it's more related to X than to GNOME.
[08:17] <Joe_> arun_ double click on it, should open up whatever default player you have
[08:17] <sonoblaise> inyourgroove:  thanks!
[08:17] <matthew_> Anyone know a fix for not getting any Youtube sound? I get regular sound just fine.... But nothing off of youtube will have sound
[08:17] <inyourgroove> sonoblaise: it is not in the default repo
[08:17] <simplexio> djolefol: did ypu mount that ntfs partiotion using /dev/sd? or /dev/disk/by-uuid/ link. if you use /dev/sda or similiar link it can change between boots
[08:18] <spartanii117> frybye: no, just ubuntu partner
[08:18] <pluma> Does anyone know how I can reset my *user* settings for the resolution or screen size? Or where that config is found?
[08:18] <Kartagis> I've got the errors on http://rafb.net/p/WV6Tep19.html and my question is, can I get my sound to work without rebooting?
[08:18] <inyourgroove> sonoblaise: it is considered illegal in the states
[08:18] <frybye> spartanii117: wow - i c - what was with the 64bit ?
[08:18] <spartanii117> frybye: no
[08:19] <frybye> spartanii117: that is no - with no work-around - right?
[08:19] <djolefol> simplexio: by uui
[08:19] <szonek> hi, anyone here using RT61 Wi-Fi card?
[08:20] <inyourgroove> pluma: you should make a new user and see if it happens for it as well
[08:20]  * pluma groans
[08:20] <bmagoha> i tried connecting ubuntu to projector without success
[08:20] <bmagoha> any assistance
[08:20] <pluma> I give up. Apparently I'll have to waste the REST of this morning as well rather than find an EASY solution.
[08:21] <arun_> i was a windows user.there if you need to install a software you have executable files with extension .exe.but in linux to  install various softwares there are various methods.why?
[08:21] <frybye> arun_: why if flying a jet fighter different than driving a VW!?
[08:21] <Dabbu> can anyone help me to setup evolution to acess my yahoo account ?
[08:22] <ardchoille> Dabbu: afaik, you need to pay Yahoo for pop3 access to do that
[08:23] <frybye> Dabbu: there is pleanty of help info at yahoo.com telling you the settings for a pop3 account etc...
[08:23] <Dabbu> ardchoille: no other software can do that ?
[08:23] <shawe> hi people
[08:23] <shawe> anyone can explainme how to replace:         <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.hardware.product" string="VGN-AR41E">
[08:23] <shawe> for read the model of graphic card?
[08:23] <frybye> ardchoille: I have access to my yahoo.de account without paying them.. perhaps it is different with yahoo.com??
[08:24] <ardchoille> frybye: Perhaps it is different, or I could be wrong. I'm just using information that I researched and found.
[08:24] <simplexio> arun_: usually you try first install stuff from distro repos, after that you try to find pre packakges to your system (which are all ,deb) if those fails you go to source , compile and install it. so you have .deb packages or zip/tar/gz etc files which you use
[08:24] <Dabbu>  frybye: i followed one but didnt work for me
[08:24] <bmagoha> am using lenovo t61 with ubuntu 8.04 and unable to connect to a projector. any assistance?
[08:24] <Sinister`> in kde 3.5 i could change the icons for .avi files by going to propertys now in 4.0 it dont let me anyone know how to ?
[08:24] <Dabbu>  frybye: i followed one but didnt work for me
[08:25] <simplexio> arun_: but in windows you have .exe .msi .zip/tar/...
[08:25] <frybye> Dabbu: I seem to remember reading someplace that it (sometimes-) has to be paid for.. perhaps actually depends where you are...?
[08:26] <Dabbu> frybye: i m in india.....so i have to pay or what
[08:26] <arun_> when i try to install a .deb package from terminal it says installation successful.but how can i run the software?from where can i find the file to execute it?
[08:26] <djolefol> The manual mount access to ntfs-partition was regenerated by using Nautilus as root. Trying to mount as user resulted only to some forgotten error message. After that the partition was written to fstab and automount has worked many days until yesterday. Could these be related together?
[08:27] <frybye> Dabbu: not at all shure - you will have to read the local yahoo help stuff on this theme I guess...
[08:27] <dekkong> damn firefox keeps freezing all the time :(
[08:27] <Dabbu> frybye: ok then....i'll try now
[08:28] <arun_> i have heard linux is more efficient compared to windows.why is it so?
[08:29] <GibbaTheHutt> depends what at, too vague a statement
[08:29] <l43a2> out of the box linux is alot more stable and secure compared to windows
[08:29] <problemmaker> yes, I would like to know too
[08:29] <l43a2> :)
[08:29] <spartanii117> arun_: because it was built better
[08:29] <l43a2> being based on unix
[08:29] <l43a2> linux makes a very nice OS
[08:29] <l43a2> :)
[08:29] <problemmaker> l43a2, for example?
[08:29] <l43a2> Windows is based on crap code half of which is from 1995
[08:29] <l43a2> :|
[08:29] <frybye> arun_: a wider group of people get a chance to work on and improve it...
[08:29] <l43a2> ^^^
[08:30] <l43a2> and yea its open source
[08:30] <arun_> in the technical way is there any advantage?
[08:30] <matthew_> Does anyone have any Ideas on why i am not getting sound in YouTube.. .ECT.. ????
[08:31] <l43a2> Linux is multi user
[08:31] <apecat> some architectural decisions in how a typical linux system is built, everything from what parts of the systems are run from the kernel and which are not make it more robust
[08:31] <l43a2> windows isnt
[08:31] <apecat> l43a2: windows nt is multi user
[08:31] <l43a2> yea
[08:31] <l43a2> all linux is mutli user :P
[08:31] <apecat> and that's all the windows there is these days
[08:31] <problemmaker> it seems that the most of unstable source are from hardware drivers
[08:31] <frybye> l43a2: eh.. this is not really support stuff though.. for a general discussion re: linux - the offtopic # might be better...
[08:31] <usamahashimi> Hi
[08:32] <l43a2> :|
[08:32] <usamahashimi> Can anyone tell me the name of channel where I can ask questions about hardware?
[08:32] <arun_> i heard that linux doesnt get infected by viruses.Is that right?
[08:33] <apecat> arun_: it gets if it's a linux virus using some exploit in linux code
[08:33] <ardchoille> arun_: http://ardchoille.nfshost.com/Linux/LinuxViruses
[08:33] <apecat> arun_: but there are relatively few of those
[08:33] <sonoblaise> ok...  I installed libdvdcss, but totem dont seem to get it... do i have to reboot??
[08:33] <ubuntu_> who fund vrious in linxi
[08:33] <djolefol> There is also a strange "gvfs" partition seen in gnome-system-manager. Is this information relevant? ...and what it is?
[08:33] <srx2002> quick question: where can I view Hardware info/system information in intrepid?
[08:33] <jschall> arun_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware
[08:34] <frybye> srx2002: install and run package hwinfo
[08:34] <ubuntu_> who fund vripus in linux
[08:34] <ubuntu_> who fund vrious in linux
[08:34] <randomwalker> djolefol, that's normal, it's a gnome filesystem abstraction layer thing
[08:34] <sonoblaise> srx2002:  install the device manager.. go in add/remove software and look for Device Manager in system tools
[08:34] <apecat> ubuntu_: please open and read the above links given to arun_
[08:34] <usamahashimi> !hardware
[08:35] <usamahashimi> !hardware channel
[08:35] <pluma>  How can I change my *user level* resolution settings in GNOME via the command line? What I know: xconf is irrelevant, ~/.gnome, .gnome2 and .gconf are also irrelevant.
[08:35] <esthar> Hi, I run an Ubuntu mirror at a college with only binaries, and I'd like to mirror sources now as well.
[08:35] <sonoblaise> pluma : what do you want to do?
[08:35] <esthar> dist=gutsy,gutsy-updates,gutsy-security,gutsy-proposed,gutsy-backports,hardy,hardy-backports,hardy-proposed,hardy-security,hardy-updates,intrepid,intrepid-proposed,intrepid-backports,intrepid-security,intrepid-updates,jaunty
[08:35] <esthar> I mirror all those sections though.
[08:36] <esthar> How can I tell how much data all the sources for all these sections will take BEFORE I download them?
[08:36] <pluma> sonoblaise: fix my settings so I can log in
[08:36] <srx2002> I cant even find add remove hardware
[08:36] <djolefol> randomwalker: Could you tell are my above mentioned problems somehow be related to this .gvfs which my friend has I don't?
[08:36] <arun_> when i am downloading something using firefox it shows more than 256KB/s(which is my connection's maximum)..sometimes 800KB/s.it is never like that in windows.why?
[08:36] <problemmaker> pluma, no pretty sure, but 'xrandx' can do that
[08:36] <usamahashimi> Is Nvidia's Ultra card is more powerful or a GTX card?
