[08:03] <kcman1> what is the command to change dir in terminal
[08:03] <tenlet> yine: about 40/60 gb used at the moment
[08:03] <yinepuhotep> If you don't, then it's easier to do a clean install, because you can never be sure your defrag will clean up the drive enough for parted to give you a good division.
[08:03] <john_> ok i guess buy grahpic card (ebay)
[08:04] <john_> ram 500 sdram
[08:04] <tenlet> eh whatever ill do a format
[08:04] <newbiew> Wols, how can I activate the repos?

[08:06] <loxs> folks, which package do I install to have colourful fonts in the terminals?
[08:06] <wols> SnickleFritz: until fdisk -l shows a partition there is nothing to mount. ever
[08:06] <wols> loxs: none

[08:07] <wols> loxs: I didn't. if you continue like you did I might ignore you soonish
[08:07] <bullgard4> In Gutsy there was an executable program hal-device-manager. What did it replace in Hardy?
[08:07] <loxs> and do you have any idea how to make my terminals with colorful fonts?
[08:08] <SnickleFritz> wols: Is there any information on what could be keeping fdisk from seeing the Ipod?
[08:08] <wols> SnickleFritz: is the ipod a mass storage device?
[08:08] <yinepuhotep> loxs: The only way I know to do it is to write a profile that defines colorful fonts. It's way too much work for me to bother.
[08:09] <john_> aahh click on name to message him or her :)
[08:09] <loxs> hmm, yinepuhotep thank you... that means that I take the profile from my gentoo box... do you have any idea which file is that?
[08:09] <wols> loxs: ls --color
[08:09] <class_> wols, do you know anythig about sound in hardy, i cant get any, i tried switching from alsa to pulse but to no avail,also couldnt google anything useful
[08:09] <loxs> hm, wols that's it...
[08:10] <wols> what soundcard?
[08:10] <SnickleFritz> wols: It is at it's default setting. I can only assume that it is. Is there a way to check?
[08:10] <loxs> thanks
[08:10] <class_> wols, onboard
[08:10] <wols> class_: doesn't answer my question
[08:10] <wols> SnickleFritz: how should I know what "default" is or care?
[08:10] <skygenetic> my firefox in ubuntu hardy doesnt play sound while i am youtubing
[08:10] <skygenetic> anyone can help
[08:10] <class_> wols, oh..let me check it
[08:11] <john_> bye all thanks wols i go google for asnwer

[08:11] <yinepuhotep> For the ipod question, have you tried installing gpodder, hipo, or ipod from Synaptic?
[08:12] <ArtVandalae> Hi, does anyone know if the latest empathy packages exist for hardy?
[08:12] <SnickleFritz> wols: *shrug* An Ipod is an Ipod. According to my research, it should have been formatted in FAT32 when I first used it. I will allow more than just songs to be stored on it, and its HD could be directly accessed by WinXP.
[08:13] <sarthor> i want to chat in yahoo chat rooms. and also want my laptop webcam working there. What chat cleint is better for my hardy on my laptop??
[08:13] <SnickleFritz> yine: No, but I will try them.

[08:13] <SnickleFritz> wols: change "I" to "It"
[08:13] <class_> skygenetic, maybethis will help: http://linuxexpert.wordpress.com/2008/05/16/fix-flash-sound-problems-on-hardy/
[08:14] <wols> class_: snd-hda-intel is the alsa driver
[08:14] <skygenetic> thanks class
[08:14] <skygenetic> i will try
[08:15] <class_> wols, thank you, where do i go from here ?
[08:15] <SnickleFritz> How is it that and Ipod can show up in "Computer" but not in fdisk?
[08:16] <SnickleFritz> odd...
[08:16] <wols> class_: to your logs to check any possible alsa problems. also run a alsa mixer to check volume settins
[08:16] <floppyears> hi guys

[08:17] <class_> wols, thanks
[08:17] <Smegzor> My ISP doesn't charge for traffic after midnight.  Is there a way to schedule updates to only happen between midnight and 8am?
[08:17] <mochabcha> is there anyone here that can help me with sudo
[08:17] <wols> !anyone | mochabcha
[08:17] <Kartagis> Smegzor, create a cron job
[08:18] <mochabcha> ok...
[08:18] <sarthor> i want to chat in yahoo chat rooms. and also want my laptop webcam working there. What chat cleint is better for my hardy on my laptop??
[08:18] <wols> Smegzor: disable update-manager and run a apt-get cronjob instead
[08:18] <Kartagis> 00 08 * * * apt-get update
[08:18] <Smegzor> Kartagis: hmm..  I've never done that before.  Are they easy to set up?
[08:18] <tenlet> anyone else like this ubuntu GUI?
[08:18] <Gin> ff hasn't crashed even once after I uninstalled flash :\
[08:18] <mochabcha> I need to add myself to the sudo users list yet I can't do it unless I write to the file which requires that i be in the sudo list...any suggestions
[08:18] <tenlet> http://www.s1dd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/screenshot-1.png
[08:18] <Gin> damn flash
[08:19] <wols> mochabcha: no. there is no other way than being able to use sudo under your current user
[08:19] <atz9900> mochabcha: do you still have the primary user (created when you installed ubuntu)?
[08:19] <wols> mochabcha: if you installed this ubuntu your main user is already in sudoers
[08:19] <mochabcha> how do i login to it
[08:20] <atz9900> mochabcha: you have to know the user name and password
[08:20] <wols> mochabcha: ctrl+alt+f1 and login
[08:20] <tenlet> wols: can you point me the direction to some screenshots of ubuntu GUIs that may include crazy futuristic styles like this: http://www.s1dd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/screenshot-1.png    ?
[08:20] <atz9900> mochabcha: you installed the system, didn't you?
[08:20] <mochabcha> yes
[08:20] <lint> can someone recommend a good irc client for ubuntu?
[08:20] <mochabcha> the only one I remember installing is the one I'm using
[08:20] <wols> lint: irssi or x-chat
[08:20] <mochabcha> isn't there a root user
[08:21] <mzuverink> Can someone recommend a good(note NOT skype) program that I can use to make voip call to landline and cellphones?  any remendations would be wonderfully entertain and appreciated
[08:21] <wols> mochabcha: no. if you set up this user then this user can use sudo
[08:21] <wols> mzuverink: ekiga
[08:21] <atz9900> mochabcha: i don't mean the root user. i mean the primary user which is created when installing ubuntu.
[08:21] <mochabcha> there is only one user
[08:21] <mochabcha> i think virtualbox took me out of the group list
[08:21] <mzuverink> wols, the accept paypal?
[08:22] <wols> mzuverink: why would they? ekiga is GPLed
[08:22] <atz9900> mochabcha: i doubt that
[08:22] <wols> they might if you want to donate
[08:22] <lint> can someone help me? i have forgotten my system pasword and i am locked out of synaptic?
[08:22] <mochabcha> well in order to install it I had to run a command in terminal
[08:22] <wols> lint: if you forgot you can't log in anyways. since that is the only password you have
[08:22] <lint> nevermind
[08:22] <lint> i rememebered it
[08:22] <lint> thabnks anyway
[08:23] <mzuverink> wols, then how do you pay for the calls are they just free, that does not make sense???
[08:23] <mochabcha> um.. sudo usermod -G vboxusers mochabcha
[08:23] <wols> mzuverink: you use a SIP based VoIP provider
[08:23] <wols> that's only needed if you call normal phones
[08:23] <atz9900> mochabcha: yeah, thats the wrong command. leaving you in group "vboxusers" only
[08:23] <mzuverink> wols, ok thanks
[08:24] <mochabcha> it took me out of all other groups?
[08:24] <atz9900> mochabcha: yes
[08:24] <mochabcha> sweet, i'm screwed
[08:24] <hateball> mochabcha: there's a forumpost about restoring your groups
[08:24] <atz9900> mochabcha: the right command would have been  adduser mochabcha vboxusers
[08:24] <wols> mochabcha: boot from a live cd. become root and chroot
[08:24] <mochabcha> ok
[08:24] <wols> then you can set passwd
[08:24] <hateball> mochabcha: an easy way is to boot in recovery mode, and then adduser mochabcha admin
[08:25] <mochabcha> how do you boot in recovery mode in linux
[08:25] <hateball> mochabcha: Reboot the machine, it should have that option in Grub
[08:25] <tenlet> does ubuntu have alternative GUIs? havent trouble finding anything on google about it.. for example slackware has KDE, ubuntu = ?
[08:25] <mochabcha> the failsafe
[08:25] <wols> tenlet: gnome, kde, xfce, fluxbox,...
[08:26] <rgnr> ppl hlp wxwidgets checkinstall http://paste.org.ru/?iw3748
[08:26] <tenlet> all GUIs are interchangeable through distros?
[08:26] <wols> tenlet: not really
[08:26] <tenlet> what comes with unbuntu i should say then?
[08:26] <hateball> mochabcha: Says recovery on mine I think, but yeah... you should end up as root at tty1. just add your normal account to the admin group and then you can reboot and restore at your own pace
[08:26] <atz9900> tenlet: ubuntu has gnome, kubuntu has kde, xubuntu has xfce
[08:27] <tenlet> hmm must have missed something, what is K and X?
[08:27] <horchata> has anyone here encountered problem where usb wireless adapters only work after an /etc/init.d/networking restart?
[08:27] <wols> rgnr: ln: creating symbolic link `libwx_baseu-2.8.so': File exists
[08:27] <mochabcha> awesome!! this irc thing is AMAZING.  another question is there anyway to enable mp4 and aac tag editing in ubuntu
[08:27] <wols> horchata: do you have gnome-network-manager running?
[08:27] <arethius> can someone help me find and install drivers for a wireless notebook card?
[08:27] <wols> !wireless | arethius
[08:28] <rgnr> wols:  so what am i gonna do?
[08:28] <nodoubt> on restarting bind i get a "rndc: connection failed......" ???? any help?
[08:28] <mochabcha> i'm trying to synchronize my ipod in linux by any means possible, but its not working.  I'm having to vm boot xp with virtualbox, which brings me to where I am now
[08:28] <arethius> thanks
[08:28] <horchata> wols: no gnome-network-manager
[08:28] <Smegzor> in my cron jobs, man-db runs daily and weekly.  I don't need it scheduled to run weekly do I?  I didn't set it up so I'm not sure why its in both.
[08:29] <atz9900> mochabcha: i think rhythmbox can also sync ipod  (if the ipod was initialized with fat32 filesystem, not apple hfs). there is also gtkpod.
[08:29] <mochabcha> auto sync?
[08:30] <class_> wols, thank you , i found a good guide to intel sound cards on ubuntu here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto. its working now!
[08:30] <atz9900> mochabcha: don't know. i changed the firmware of my ipod to rockbox, not needing itunes anymore.
[08:30] <mochabcha> doo tell...
[08:30] <mochabcha> what is this rockbox
[08:31] <atz9900> mochabcha: www.rockbox.org
[08:31] <mochabcha> will this work for an ipod 6g classic
[08:31] <atz9900> mochabcha: note that rockbox does not run on all ipod models
[08:31] <atz9900> mochabcha: see the page for that info
[08:31] <fungo> how could i clean my ubuntu, only lefting the "base" of the system?
[08:31] <fungo> i would like to reinstall everything but the base
[08:32] <mochabcha> ok, I'll def see if it'll work.  I actually asked that question before, thx for the answer.
[08:32] <fungo> i have too much "trash" installed that would be nice to get rid of
[08:34] <t123> hello all
[08:34] <t123> I am curious if someone tell me how to figure out an IRC server?
[08:34] <arethius> hello
[08:34] <t123> I was on this site "Urbandictionary" and I know their chat is IRC based, how can I find out the name of their server so I can connect directly via irc?
[08:35] <wols> t123: read their site or ask them
[08:35] <arethius> it should be documented on their website
[08:35] <tenlet> blah... you have to install packages in ubuntu just to run a hello world program in C?
[08:35] <t123> oh really?
[08:35] <fungo> tenlet apt-get install build-essential
[08:35] <t123> gee I would never have thought to read their site
[08:35] <Accuracy> does anyone know how to fix hardy?
[08:35] <yaron><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:35] <onthefence928> i just created a SlideShow background generator for gnome, so you can turn your background/wallpaper into a sweet slideshow of any pictures you want, to check it out go to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5626850#post5626850 and feedack would be appreciated
[08:35] <arethius> t123: they normally look like "irc.freenode.net #ubuntu"
[08:35] <Accuracy> I upgraded and now it's broken
[08:35] <atz9900> tenlet: apt-get install build-essential
[08:35] <Accuracy> and all I can find are people saying they also have the problem
[08:35] <Accuracy> but not how to fix it
[08:35] <t123> what are u people kids and brats? read their site? get real
[08:35] <wols> tenlet: no. the necessary stuff is in the base install otherwise you couldn't run ANY program
[08:36] <t123> any non immature folks here to answer this now?
[08:36] <arethius> t123: where the irc.net part is the server and the #xxxxx is the chatroom name
[08:36] <wols> !doesn't work | Accuracy
[08:36] <nodoubt>  rndc: error on bind restart??
[08:36] <Accuracy> lol
[08:36] <Accuracy> it's the gnome settings daemon
[08:36] <wols> !attitude | t123
[08:36] <Accuracy> none of the menubars are showing up
[08:36] <Accuracy> so I can't pull up terminal
[08:36] <Accuracy> or anything else
[08:36] <atz9900> t123: how is your question related to ubuntu support?
[08:36] <Accuracy> I can only access my desktop
[08:36] <wols> Accuracy: alt+f2
[08:37] <Accuracy> didn't work
[08:37] <Accuracy> I tried
[08:37] <t123> I am running ubuntu as my OS!
[08:37] <Accuracy> alt-f2 didn't do anything
[08:37] <t123> hence I need to figure this out ubuntu style!
[08:37] <onthefence928> Accuracy: gnome bug i think just reboot
[08:37] <t123> and if people are not bratty kids, they will not be responded to in kind
[08:37] <bazhang> t123, it has nothing to do with ubuntu
[08:37] <Accuracy> I rebooted several times
[08:37] <Accuracy> it's a repeated problem
[08:37] <wols> t123: but it's no ubuntu question. now please ask the people and places where it's on topic
[08:37] <Accuracy> it also occured when I tried to search for terminal in the file system
[08:38] <onthefence928> Accuracyt: when i got that problem it fixed itself after a reboot
[08:38] <Accuracy> I was trying to figure out where the application was in ubuntu so I could run it
[08:38] <Accuracy> and I got another gnome settings error
[08:38] <wols> Accuracy: check ~/.xsessions-errors maybe?
[08:38] <Accuracy> how do I do that?
[08:38] <t123> yo man it is an ubuntu topic, as I need help to use ubuntu to figure this out, yah know?
[08:38] <mochabcha> thank you very much atz9900 and hateball for your help, and thx very much for the rockbox tip
[08:38] <bazhang> t123, please take it elsewhere.
[08:39] <wols> t123: websearch is no ubuntu question
[08:39] <hateball> mochabcha: anytime :)
[08:40] <Accuracy> wols: how do I check ~/.xsessions-errors?
[08:40] <t123> man u people are real jerkoffs
[08:40] <wols> Accuracy: by looking at it
[08:40] <Accuracy> ...
[08:40] <Accuracy> where is it?
[08:40] <Accuracy> I don't know where to find it
[08:40] <wols> I just told you: ~/.xsession-errors. it'S a full path
[08:41] <Accuracy> ah
[08:42] <Accuracy> ok
[08:42] <Accuracy> I tried
[08:42] <Accuracy> it says it can't show it
[08:42] <Accuracy> because that's not a location
[08:43] <lecraM> AID MY PLATE OF SOUND ISA DOES NOT FUNCTION IN  UBUNTU!!!!!!!!!!!
[08:43] <wols> it is
[08:43] <lecraM> ALSACONF?
[08:43] <wols> !caps | lecraM
[08:43] <bazhang> !br | lecraM
[08:43] <lecraM> YES
[08:44] <lecraM> SIM
[08:44] <Accuracy> well the error I'm getting says "The location is not a folder"
[08:44] <lecraM> ALGUÉM FALA EM PT
[08:44] <lecraM> ?
[08:44] <bazhang> lecraM, /join #ubuntu-br
[08:44] <Accuracy> so something must be wrong
[08:45] <Accuracy> because I can't access it
[08:45] <arethius> how do i use su in terminal to be root? is it just "su" then type the system password when prompted?
[08:45] <wols> arethius: you can't
[08:45] <Accuracy> yes, arethius
[08:45] <wols> arethius: there is no root account on ubuntu, so don't even try
[08:45] <bazhang> arethius, use sudo
[08:46] <Accuracy> o.O
[08:46] <Accuracy> su works for me
[08:46] <SuperQ> Accuracy: only if you enable a root password
[08:46] <wols> !noroot
[08:46] <hano> hi
[08:46] <SuperQ> exactly
[08:46] <Accuracy> ah
[08:46] <Accuracy> well anyway
[08:46] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> ah so in ubuntu u dont use sudo like in kubuntu?
[08:46] <SuperQ> the "no root password, use sudo" thing is a really good idea for most people
[08:47] <hano> i burned an 8.04 iso image on a cd, but there's no autoload when rebooting the computer
[08:47] <hano> how can I start the installation?
[08:47] <Accuracy> do you have any idea why ~/.xsession-errors does not axist?
[08:47] <wols> hano: check the cd content. what files are there?
[08:47] <SuperQ> hano: You probably need to adjust your BIOS boot list
[08:47] <arethius> alright, well, the ndiswrapper instructions say to open a terminal and change user to root to continue, so do I just ignore that part and continue on?
[08:47] <wols> arethius: why don't you use the ndiswrapper packages?
[08:47] <wols> !info ndisgtk
[08:47] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> ah so in ubuntu u dont use sudo like in kubuntu?
[08:48] <wols> strawbeRRy_fieLd: you use it exactly the same way
[08:48] <SuperQ> strawbeRRy_fieLd: No, you treat ubuntu and kubuntu the same
[08:48] <lecraM> ubottu: sorry
[08:48] <SuperQ> strawbeRRy_fieLd: By default, there is no root password, and you use sudo instead
[08:48] <hano> wols: theres some autorun.inf on the cd
[08:48] <wols> hano: then check bios as suggested
[08:48] <SuperQ> hano: The CD is not supposed to be used in windows
[08:48] <lecraM> ubottu:caps look ativate rsrs
[08:48] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> yes but in kubuntu when u use sudo it asks u a root password to go on
[08:49] <wols> strawbeRRy_fieLd: no
[08:49] <SuperQ> hano: You put the CD in and reboot the PC, it will start from the CD
[08:49] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> is it the same in ubuntu?
[08:49] <lucky__> hai
[08:49] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> yes it does wols
[08:49] <wols> it asks you for your user password
[08:49] <SuperQ> hano: But you may need to adjust the boot priority order
[08:49] <PauloRicardo> what's the better/newer, gdialog or zenity?
[08:49] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> ah ok
[08:49] <wols> strawbeRRy_fieLd: no it doesn't
[08:49] <hano> SuperQ: i'm currently using 6.10
[08:49] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> and that's different
[08:49] <bazhang> strawbeRRy_fieLd, that is not right.
[08:49] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> alright i thought it was a root pass
[08:49] <wols> hano: update please
[08:49] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> got it
[08:49] <SuperQ> hano: Oh, there is no direct upgrade path from 6.10 to 8.04
[08:49] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> so talking about it
[08:50] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> do you think gnome and then ubuntu is better than kubuntu?
[08:50] <SuperQ> hano: You either re-install, or you have to incremental upgrade it to 7.04, then 7.10, then 8.04
[08:50] <hano> SuperQ: yes, that's why i saved all my files and tried to install 8.04
[08:50] <SuperQ> strawbeRRy_fieLd: they're basically the same
[08:50] <r_a_f> howto kill process when sudo pkill, sudo kill killall dont kill him?
[08:50] <bazhang> strawbeRRy_fieLd, this is not a chat channel; see #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[08:50] <hano> SuperQ: i did as you said, put in the CD and rebooted - but it's not starting from the cd
[08:50] <lint_> hello, can someone instruct me on installing an icon theme in gnome under ubuntu?
[08:50] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> bazhag im not "chatting" im asking for a techinical opinion
[08:50] <SuperQ> hano: Like I said, you will need to go into the BIOS and make sure the CD is the first boot prioirity
[08:51] <bazhang> strawbeRRy_fieLd, not here.
[08:51] <SuperQ> hano: Have you tried the CD on another computer?
[08:51] <Accuracy> does anyone know a way to fix the gnome-settings-daemon crash without checking ~/.xsession-errors?
[08:51] <Kartagis> is is impossible to add more than 4  keyboard layouts under ubuntu?
[08:51] <arethius> i've installed ndisgtk and needed packages through the package manager, in terminal I type ndisgtk and it says sudo or root privileges required, so i type sudo root, then the password when prompted
[08:51] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> i dont see the prob.... anyway...
[08:51] <hano> SuperQ: no - maybe I have to set some "boot flags" when burning it to make clear that's supposed to be a boot-cd?
[08:51] <arethius> then try ndisgtk again and it gives me the same error
[08:51] <bazhang> arethius, only sudo, no root
[08:51] <SuperQ> hano: not if you did a direct ISO burn
[08:52] <hano> SuperQ: yes, I did. hm ok.. now, when booting the pc, GRUB starts
[08:52] <arethius> how do I open the ndisgtk graphical front end?
[08:52] <PauloRicardo> Zenity ship's with Ubuntu?  Since when?

[09:01] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> mmm ok
[09:01] <bazhang> lint_, you may need to extract it if dragging does not work
[09:01] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> is it something like sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ?
[09:01] <wols> for example
[09:01] <bazhang> strawbeRRy_fieLd, yup
[09:02] <Accuracy> hmm
[09:02] <wols> Accuracy: press ctrl+alt+f2
[09:02] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> i imagined it was like this but i wasnt sure
[09:02] <wols> there the path I gave you will work too btw
[09:02] <a_l_e> hello. i'm trying to install x11 on a server hardy install... is there any list of the packages needed to get startx to work?

[09:02] <a_l_e> (i'm stuck at "No valid FontPath could be found."
[09:02] <wols> a_l_e: install xorg. but servers shouldn't have X servers. really
[09:03] <Accuracy> wols: thank you, that worked
[09:03] <lint_> bazhang: where do i extract them to?
[09:03] <Accuracy> how do I reinstall gnome desktop?
[09:03] <a_l_e> wols: no choice, here: the server install is the only which works for ppc (afaik)... and it's not a server it's a powerbook .-)
[09:03] <bazhang> lint_, where did you dl it to
[09:03] <Accuracy> I can't access the internet to download packages I don't already have, but I do have a gutsy cd
[09:03] <nodoubt> anyone know bind blindfolded? i have a question noone can seem to answer
[09:03] <wols> a_l_e: then also install ubuntu-desktop
[09:04] <Bionic_Apple> I am using a vanilla Gnome install on a different distro, but someone here can probably help me out: How do I make Ubuntu's Wine menu (in Applications menu) from scratch?
[09:04] <pvh_sa|wrk> anyone here worked with nfs and kerberos auth? i'm trying to understand why the fsid=0 seems so important
[09:04] <sleepster> anyone know how to change the keymap in xterm?
[09:04] <bazhang> Bionic_Apple, which distro
[09:04] <wols> Bionic_Apple: we only support ubuntu
[09:04] <a_l_e> wols: mmh... i guess, that i don't really want the full desktop install, either... :-)
[09:04] <sleepster> it keeps making my 'alt' key output some weird junk
[09:04] <lint_> bazhang: /tmp
[09:04] <wols> a_l_e: what do you want?
[09:04] <SmokeEater85911> somebody PM me if you have the chance thanks
[09:04] <Bionic_Apple> bazhang: Arch Linux, but it is a very general question
[09:04] <a_l_e> wols: x11 working!
[09:04] <bazhang> Bionic_Apple, then ask in their channel not here
[09:04] <a_l_e> wols: a working x11!
[09:04] <sleepster> ls
[09:05] <wols> that I told you how to do. but it will give you twm. you won't like that :)
[09:05] <Bionic_Apple> bazhang: I did, but no one is helping me :(, plus I don't have Ubuntu installed to model mine after
[09:05] <bazhang> Bionic_Apple, nonetheless that is offtopic here.
[09:06] <Accuracy> how do I reinstall gnome desktop? I can't access the internet to download packages I don't already have, but I do have a gutsy cd
[09:06] <a_l_e> wols: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop wants to install 1.618 GB of stuff... my powerbook will crash before finishing installing it!
[09:06] <wols> install fluxbox
[09:07] <wols> or xubuntu-desktop
[09:07] <wols> Accuracy: then use that
[09:07] <Accuracy> what's the package for gnome?
[09:07] <r_a_f> openbox is too nice ;)
[09:07] <wols> ubuntu-desktop
[09:07] <Accuracy> k
[09:07] <wols> Accuracy: but since that is already installed, (all of it), it won't reinstall usually
[09:08] <sleepster> anyone know how to change the keymap in xterm? My alt key is not working as it is supposed to
[09:08]  * a_l_e is trying to install fluxbox...
[09:08] <wols> sleepster: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:08] <a_l_e> wols: fluxbox is install but still no x11.
[09:08] <Accuracy> bah
[09:09] <Accuracy> I can't think of another way to fix the gnome-settings-daemon crash
[09:09] <sleepster> wols: well I don't think xserver is the problem.. I think it is xterm
[09:09] <wols> a_l_e: pastebin your Xorg log after running startx
[09:09] <Accuracy> hardy is crashing my server :'(
[09:09] <Accuracy> why oh why did I not just keep gutsy? :(
[09:10] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> i typed sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop but its taking ages and installing lots of packages...
[09:10] <wols> sleepster: to be expected
[09:10] <sleepster> wols: well I don't think xterm has ever worked properly to tell you the truth :)
[09:11] <sleepster> wols: it can't understand 'alt' or 'control' keys
[09:11] <SnickleFritz> Accuracy: since you have access to internet now, Synaptic will allow you to download the packages themselves, if I understand correctly. Could you download them to a thumb drive and then unpack and install them onto your broken machine?
[09:11] <Accuracy> I'm on a windows machine
[09:11] <Accuracy> =P
[09:12] <Accuracy> no synaptic around here
[09:12] <wols> !apt-on-cd
[09:12] <wols> !aptoncd
[09:12] <Accuracy> was that to me?
[09:13] <Accuracy> I don't see how aptoncd would help me

[09:13] <salto_> I can not open my Applications Menu because gnome-desktop-enviroment is missing. To make things worse, the package collides with gnome-keyring-manager. I did run dpkg-reconfigure -a.

[09:14] <XB23> yeh but its rising by the day
[09:14] <bazhang> Accuracy, how did gnome get uninstalled? why was it on the server in the first place?
[09:14] <UnionPivo> XB23, Linux prechaches and buffers a lot of things on its own
[09:14] <SnickleFritz> Accuracy: what about here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/gnome/ and then download the packages you need to thumb drive.
[09:14] <XB23> when it gets to the top it will crash wont it
[09:14] <UnionPivo> XB23, so its normal
[09:14] <Accuracy> gnome isn't uninstalled
[09:14] <XB23> oh right

[09:15] <Accuracy> I'm experiencing the gnome-settings-daemon crash
[09:15] <bazhang> Accuracy, why do you have xserver on a server
[09:15] <wols> SnickleFritz: downloading ubuntu-desktop and all dependencies? masochism at its finest
[09:15] <UnionPivo> XB23, no it wont
[09:15] <XB23> oh ok
[09:15] <Accuracy> because I don't like dealing with a terminal all the time
[09:15] <SnickleFritz> wols: well, no, just the individual packages he needs.
[09:15] <Accuracy> and it doubles as a second desktop if I need it
[09:16] <Accuracy> how do I change my network settings from terminal?

[09:16] <SnickleFritz> http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/gnome/gnome-settings-daemon
[09:16] <UnionPivo> Accuracy, well you can do it by hand using ifconfig

[09:21] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> i got to a point of the installation in which it asked me about display managers "by default" and i chose KDM that means it will boot with kubuntu by default right?
[09:21] <Accuracy> I remember there being a combination command
[09:21] <Accuracy> but I've forgotten it
[09:21] <bazhang> strawbeRRy_fieLd, with the kde splash

[09:22] <bazhang> damien_, ultimate is not supported here
[09:22] <damien_> oh ok
[09:22] <Bionic_Apple> This isn't offtopic: I would like to know how the developers of Ubuntu put a dynamic programs menu in within the Wine menu in Gnome.
[09:22] <damien_> so its not any good ?
[09:22] <strawbeRRy_fieLd> what is the kde splash?
[09:22] <bazhang> Bionic_Apple, you might do some reading on the mailing lists
[09:22] <Accuracy> what's the quit command?

[09:30] <vitim> bazhang
[09:30] <vitim>
[09:30] <vitim> because that network operators are not with the status of @?
[09:31] <Araknozzo> hallo. i want to migrate my openvpn server. Should i regenerate the ssl keys or, copying them from the old server will do the work?
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> Araknozzo: regenerating them is more secure
[09:31] <vitim> bazhang?
[09:31] <vitim> because that network operators are not with the status of @?
[09:32] <Abracadabra> a_l_e: well, I am trying to install Linux (Ubuntu as well as other Linux OSes, but not sure how it works with partionning of space, allocation of space, mounting of drives, linking, formatting, etc....
[09:32] <bazhang> vitim, please stop.
[09:32] <Abracadabra> I have tried it with some instructions....but it so different to Windows, I am not sure I understand the logic
[09:32] <a_l_e> Abracadabra: reading this (first hit for "linux filesystem"...) may help a bit...
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> Abracadabra: you need at least 2, 1 for /swp and the other for /. its advisable to have a seperate partition for /home
[09:33] <vitim> bazhang,
[09:33] <vitim> already turned off the message of mp3, I am now making it a question brother.
[09:33] <Abracadabra> [09:32] <a_l_e> Abracadabra: reading this (first hit for "linux filesystem"...) may help a bit... <----- where can I read this ? .... do I simply google that ?
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> Abracadabra: if you are multibooting, you can mount the same partition as /home so all your docs will flow through the systems
[09:33] <Dethray> !errno5
[09:34] <a_l_e> Abracadabra: sorry forgot the link: http://www.freeos.com/articles/3102/
[09:34] <Accuracy> omg
[09:34] <Accuracy> I rebooted
[09:34] <Accuracy> and it magically works again
[09:34] <a_l_e> Abracadabra: if you have the money, it would be better to start out with a new hard disk and let the install programm fully use it!
[09:34] <Accuracy> go figure
[09:34] <Accuracy> 4th reboot and it finally worked
[09:34] <FloodBot3> Accuracy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:34] <Accuracy> >_<
[09:34] <Abracadabra> ActionParsnip: I am not multibooting atm, I am staying safe and using VMWare, but I created some partitions following some docs, and I can't delete them...I don't have the same control as I would have with Windows
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> Accuracy: reboots fix some stuff dude, just like windows
[09:35] <Accuracy> yea but I had to reboot 4 times to get it to work
[09:35] <Dethray> what to work
[09:35] <Accuracy> and got the same error 3 times in a row
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> Abracadabra: you need to run your partitioner with sudo or gksu depending whree the app runs
[09:35] <a_l_e> Abracadabra: i would start with something really simple :-)
[09:35] <Abracadabra> a_l_e, ta, will check it out in a sec :)

[09:38] <zzl> there's this one program in like chinese or something that I'm trying to run

[09:38] <zzl> it's an exe file I'm running under wine
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> zzl: o you want to decompile?
[09:38] <Abracadabra> and why are different Linux using different commands ? ... I am installing Ubuntu ad Debian on the one hand, and trying to install RedHat and Fedora on the other
[09:38] <zzl> what is that?
[09:39] <xnv> zzl: Then it's wine you have to worry about, not the Linux distro.
[09:39] <zzl> any good alternatives?
[09:39] <Abracadabra> ActionParsnip, I want to use the CLI whenever possible
[09:39] <a_l_e> zzl: just go to a wine forum or channel :-)
[09:39] <zzl> ohh
[09:39] <xnv> zzl: There is a #winehq channel
[09:39] <a_l_e> zzl: or google for wine chinese :-)
[09:39] <Bangers> Is there a top for X windows?
[09:39] <zzl> should've though of that!!
[09:40] <bazhang> zzl, also appdb
[09:40] <a_l_e> zzl: but i don't think chineses make good wine :-)
[09:40] <bazhang> !appdb
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> Abracadabra: ubuntu anddebian are debian based, redhat and fedora are rpm based, 2 different branches of linux
[09:40] <Accuracy> noooooooooooooo not again!
[09:40] <Accuracy> I logged out and logged back in
[09:40] <Accuracy> and now gnome is broken again
[09:40] <Accuracy> I hate hardy so much
[09:41] <zzl> are those going to work perfectly in displaying the characters correctly?
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> Accuracy: you considered a different desktop, like fluxbox or xfce or kde
[09:41] <evilbug> what's a good ubuntu to install on an eeepc?

[09:42] <Bangers> Is there a codec pack I can install thats the same as 'K-Lite' on Windows for Ubuntu? I want to use that and VLC
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> evilbug: you can always upgrade to it, check it out
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> Bangers: w32codecs
[09:43] <Abracadabra> ActionParsnip, how many different branches of Linux are there ? ....and how can I find out what the differences are between them (so, for eg, if I wanna to apt-get, what is the equivalent for Fedora...etc) ?
[09:43] <a_l_e> vitim: we hackers have already taken over that channel!
[09:43] <evilbug> ActionParsnip- thanks. i'm looking into getting an eeepc and i'd like to stick with xubuntu (since that's what i'm using now). you think it's a good/better idea to install ubuntu server and take it from there?

[09:43] <McNulty> anyone know why PECL things would fail with 'phpize failed', if the phpize binary is where it's meant to be?
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> evilbug: why server?
[09:44] <evilbug> and install everything separately.
[09:44] <evilbug> ActionParsnip- so i start with the server, then i install a DE, etc.
[09:45] <Abracadabra> ActionParsnip, a_l_e, ty both for your help.....gonna do some reading.....will be back in a bit with more questions ;)
[09:45] <a_l_e> Abracadabra: good luck!

[09:46] <a_l_e> Abracadabra: and remember: start simple (you've first bought a computer with windows preinstalled...)
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> evilbug: eeexubuntu installs everything you need and is made specifically for the eee so has all the drivers and whatnot

[09:48] <omnivor> DCC SEND<PHONE_NUMBER>8888888
[09:49] <a_l_e> belendax: i mean: have you read what the man page of unzip says about passwords?
[09:49] <Bangers> apt-get install w32codecs wont let me install it, do i have to enable unrestricted packages?
[09:50] <wers> i downloaded tarballs from mozilla (i dont want to install from the repos). How do i install them?

[09:56] <ActionParsnip> Dethray: what you using to partition?
[09:56] <NickieFerrante> this may be somewhat a strange question...but is there any way that I can have time-specific desktop backgrounds? i.e, I want to have a picture of clouds etc during the day, sunsets at dusk and a night-time scene in the evening
[09:57] <Dethray> cfdisk
[09:57] <Guest4801> hi all
[09:57] <Dethray> then fdisk

[09:57] <Dethray> Yes
[09:57] <bullgard4> Synaptic marks the DEB program package linux-doc-2.6.25 with the Ubuntu logo. Does this mean that Debian  provides a different documentation for Linux kernel 2.6.25?
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> NickieFerrante: i know how to do it in fluxbox
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> NickieFerrante: id look at command line changing the wallpaper, then make some bash scripts and cron them to run

[10:00] <ActionParsnip> wendelin: in what way?
[10:01] <Skyrail> ActionParsnip: I've tried using Grub which messed it all up in the first place, it's getting to be a pain now because I can't just select which OS I want to boot into, when I last setup Grub it messed up something and Windows won't load anymore :|
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> Skyrail: then add the winslows guff to menu.lst
[10:01] <Bangers> help, w32codecs wont install
[10:01] <Bangers> I've used the guide, adding mediabuntu etc and the GPG Key
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> Bangers: did you tab complete its name?
[10:01] <rw> I'm trying to learn "ruby" using an online tutorial. It said, use the command "which ruby" to see if it's installed and what version. The command doesn't list anything for me. Is ruby installed in Ubuntu 8.04.1?
[10:01] <Bangers> ActionParsnip: what do you mean
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> Bangers: did you sudo apt-get update
[10:02] <wendelin> Well, I think the problems is by a the missing package gnome-desktop-enviroment. I can not install this, althoug I let dpkg-reconfigure run.
[10:02] <Bangers> ActionParsnip: yes
[10:02] <Skyrail> ActionParsnip: I've added it, it's there
[10:02] <LSD|Ninja> rw: Try searchin Synaptic for it
[10:02] <Bangers> I ran this which I got from google which should do it all for me: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 && sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[10:02] <wers> how do I install sunbird 0.8 on hardy?
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> Bangers: you can tab complete LOTS in linux, saves you havng to know or type stuff, like commands and file names and in your case package names
[10:02] <fallore> some websites are loading extremely slowly or not at all. it doesn't happen on windows xp. i'm running hardy heron

[10:03] <evilbug_> what's a good terminal instant messaging app?
[10:04] <wendelin> Any hints?
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> evilbugwhich protocol?
[10:04] <evilbug_> ActionParsnip- AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ.
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> wendelin: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install <whatever you are missing>
[10:04] <a_l_e> ActionParsnip: i can't find a x11-core-fonts package... but i remember having the fonts packages installed as a collaterale effect of another x11/xorg package...
[10:04] <evilbug_> ActionParsnip- so pretty much like a terminal pidgin.
[10:04] <LSD|Ninja> evilbug_: bitlbee + irssi :P
[10:05] <evilbug_> but irssi is IRC :(
[10:05] <LSD|Ninja> evilbug_: read up on what bitlbee does ;)
[10:05] <wendelin> E: could not find gnome-desktop-enviroment
[10:05] <wols> evilbug_: but bitlbee makes it IM capable
[10:05] <evilbug_> LSD|Ninja- thanks.
[10:05] <wols> wendelin: ubuntu-desktop
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> evilbug_: finch seems to fit the bill, ive not used it though
[10:05] <wbinns> evilbug_:  have you looked at finch? http://pidgin.im/about/
[10:06] <wols> evilbug_: centericq maybe
[10:06]  * ActionParsnip hi5s wbinns
[10:06] <wendelin> wols: Is already installed.
[10:06] <evilbug_> wwooooowwwwwwwww, many apps X_X
[10:06] <wbinns> hi
[10:06] <LSD|Ninja> bitlbee is just an IRC IM gateway, any IRC client will work with it but if you want terminal then irssi is by far and away the way to go
[10:06]  * evilbug_ is overwhelmed with the abundance of terminal IM protocols...
[10:06] <wols> wendelin: then what is your problem?
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> evilbug_: welcome to choice and freedom
[10:07] <evilbug_> ActionParsnip- in all fairness, i WAS exagerating a bit.
[10:08] <evilbug_> ActionParsnip- i'm not that overwhelmed. i was overwhelmed when i first had to make a choice of what linux to start with X_X now that was overwhelming.
[10:09] <ganiere> bonjour
[10:09] <wendelin> Actually, I can not open my Applications Menu. I think this caused by the missing package gnome-desktop-enviroment. But Synaptic tells the dependency gnome-keyring-manager is not installable.
[10:09] <evilbug_> ca va.
[10:09] <evilbug_> wendelin- i think a "sudo apt-get -f install" should fix things.
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> evilbug_: oui, ca va bien, et toi?
[10:09] <Bangers> Im following this guide for w32codecs but it doesnt work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> wendelin: or sudo apt-get --reinstall install <gnome whatever>
[10:10] <evilbug_> ActionParsnip- i was talking to ganiere, he said "bonjour".
[10:10] <ganiere> jz suis la pour la 1er foi,jpige rien
[10:10] <evilbug_> ActionParsnip- :P not EVERYTHING is about you.
[10:10] <Bangers> I installed medibuntu repos, GPG keys then everything it says but the w32codecs install fails STILL

[10:11] <bazhang> lets chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please

[10:13] <brez> Hi!
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> wols: i did ask ;)
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> !hi | brez
[10:13] <brez> question: like on windows, when I install a program, I find it in Program Files, when I install something on ubuntu, where's the folder, or what is it called :)?
[10:13] <brez> Hello!
[10:14] <wols> brez: there is no such single folder. dpkg -L <package>  | less
[10:14] <brez> well, for exp
[10:14] <brez> Extract pevents.conf (and optionally colors.conf) to your XChat profile directory
[10:14] <wols> brez: in linux, files are installed in different places
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> brez: its everywhere man, apps use librarys that are dotted all over the place then the main binary will sit in /bin or /usr/bin
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> brez: there is no program files equiv
[10:15] <wols> brez: ~/.xchat or such
[10:15] <moncojhr> yoyoyo
[10:15] <wols> brez: profiles and settings for your user are in your $home only
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> brez: app config is done per user and is stored in your home dir (~/)
[10:15] <moncojhr> just put on the new ubuntu, and internet speeds are FUCKED IN THE ASS
[10:15] <hischild> brez, profile directories are user specific.  Then press ctrl+h and look for xchat
[10:17] <moncojhr> the network problem seems to be system wide
[10:17] <brez> oh
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> moncojhr: reboot your router, maybe theres a tweak for yur nic to make it groovier
[10:18] <moncojhr> i tried already
[10:18] <brez> Thanks :D

[10:22] <brez> with an o
[10:22] <porncake> i would refer to packet manager :)
[10:22] <hischild> Ubuntu_noob, 1. go to system administration and then synaptic package manager. 2. They'll have shortcuts in your menu.
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntu_noob: use synaptic in the menus
[10:22] <Ubuntu_noob> sudo apt-get pac.tar -o ?
[10:22] <hischild> brez, not all new people like console ways.
[10:22] <brez> im new, that's the only way I know
[10:23] <brez> haha, what am I missing?
[10:23] <hischild> Ubuntu_noob, and about the third one you'll have to be more specific.
[10:23] <a_l_e> Ubuntu_noob: 1. synaptic 2. click in the menu 3. well, you should first become a better user first :-)
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> brez: me too but most users like a pretty clicky thing
[10:23] <Ubuntu_noob> I want to know 1. and 2. "D
[10:23] <Ubuntu_noob> as i need to change mack
[10:23] <brez> I feel like a hacker when I type uptime
[10:23] <brez> in console!
[10:23] <hischild> brez, please try not to go offtopic.
[10:23] <Ubuntu_noob> mac :) and i download macchanger from internet
[10:23] <ay^> :)
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> brez: netstat -a makes you look like ahacker too
[10:24] <hischild> Ubuntu_noob, you mean you want to change your MAC adress of your network card?
[10:24] <brez> ;p
[10:24] <a_l_e> Ubuntu_noob: don't download from the internet, first learn to use your package manager!
[10:24] <Ubuntu_noob> hischild: yes, and ifconfig don't work
[10:24] <wols> Ubuntu_noob: ifconfig can change MAC
[10:24] <wols> Ubuntu_noob: what ifconfig command did you try?
[10:24] <hischild> Ubuntu_noob, ifconfig will work. Please share the command you tried with us.
[10:24] <rtz3463> Ubuntu_noob: ifconfig _does_ work. you have to set mac while the interface is down.
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntu_noob: you can change it in /etc/network/interfaces but id get use to the system before taking on any massive projects
[10:25] <Ubuntu_noob> ifconfig eth0 down
[10:25] <Ubuntu_noob> ifconfig eth0 hw ether XX:XX...
[10:25] <Ubuntu_noob> and it gives me
[10:25] <Ubuntu_noob> SIOCSIFFLAGS Error
[10:25] <Ubuntu_noob> and i don't want to mess with BIOS
[10:26] <hischild> Ubuntu_noob, try not to use so many enters please. do you still have that console open?
[10:26] <Ubuntu_noob> no
[10:26] <Ubuntu_noob> i'm using windows, as if i want to have internet connection i need to change mac
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntu_noob: you'll need sudo to do that sort of jazz
[10:27] <anormallu> hi .... i have freezing cpu ... xorg process have 100% ... what can i do?
[10:27] <ikonia> Ubuntu_noob: your mac address should be the same in windows and ubuntu
[10:27] <Penmaster> g
[10:28] <hischild> Ubuntu_noob, ifconfig eth0 down will make sure it's down. Run ifconfig and it shouldn't show anymore to check. Then use << ifconfig eth0 hw ether 1a:2b:3c:4d:5e:6f >> to change it to that MAC (without the << and >> ofcourse)
[10:28] <Ubuntu_noob> ActionParsnip: i know this is why i want to ask how to do it ;:D
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: you can change it in registry
[10:28] <hischild> Ubuntu_noob, then lastly you have to get it back up with ifconfig eth0 up
[10:28] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: yes, but he shouldn't need to
[10:28] <hischild> ActionParsnip, he's saying that it should just be the same with windows and ubuntu.
[10:28] <Ubuntu_noob> hischild: i did, and it says SIOSIFFLAGS Error
[10:28] <ikonia> hischild: and it should be default
[10:28] <needhelp> Can anyone help me to get sound work on ubuntu please? I hear no sound, and I see no errors. Here is my configs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/39061/

[10:35] <hischild> ActionParsnip, even so, due to how windows responds to activity it's much more insecure and any user that isn't a power user isn't going to go search in group policy to just turn something off.
[10:35] <needhelp> Need help! Sound device is detected by Ubuntu, but there is no soundoutput anywhere. I have ofcourse checked the connections and volumecontrols.
[10:36] <hischild> !sound | needhelp
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> hischild: they cant if they dont have access to the policy server. its all config dude, you can have lame security in linux too
[10:36] <needhelp> hischild: Thanks, but I have read the links already. My soundsetup is at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/39061/
[10:36] <wols> ActionParsnip: how is this ubuntu related

[10:37] <ActionParsnip> wols: security-wise (?)
[10:37] <hischild> ActionParsnip, I propose we agree on disagreeing. This isn't the right place for this discussion.

[10:59] <Kardoso> I have two hard drives. But usually I dont use the second. How can I turn it off? (like the "turn hard disks off after x minutes in Windows)

[10:59] <Slart> xukun: fakeraid (onboard raid) isn't very good.. I'd go with software raid
[10:59] <wols> xukun: what disk controller does the machine use? if it's intel ICH9 or ICH10, software raid since it'S fakeraid
[10:59] <torgrimt_> Slart: not all onboard raids are bad dude
[10:59] <moncojhr> anyway, so the "you are using crappy drivers for your video card get these other drivers" thing came up and because it was going so slow i cancelled it

[11:02] <gee_> what now
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> gee_: tbh im just websearching as i dont have an ipod

[11:04] <artemis> hi all
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> gee_: is it in disk mode?
[11:04] <Slart> Omar87: you might have had a kernel update.. if you installed the graphics driver manually you might have to do it again
[11:04] <artemis> thx for help with mac :D it's working :D
[11:05] <gee_> No it is not
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> gee_: then its not a disk so it wont mount
[11:05] <xukun> moncojhr, I did not sure but wols said that I should better use software raid
[11:05] <gee_> So how do i put it in Disk Mode?
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> gee_: yes
[11:05] <moncojhr> xukun: you can use software raid, but you wont be able to read it in windows
[11:05] <Omar87> Slart, I didn't install a graphics driver at all. But yet, it was working just great.
[11:06] <xukun> moncojhr, I,m not using windows
[11:06] <Slart> Omar87: well.. something changed..
[11:06] <Slart> Omar87: what graphics card do you have?
[11:06] <gee_> Action, i meant how do i put it in Disk Mode
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> gee_: no idea, i dont use apples garbage, sorry
[11:06] <moncojhr> xukun: ok it should be reletively easy to set up software raid, but i dont know anything about it, sorry
[11:06] <gee_> It is fine, thanks for the help guys. Peace.
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> gee_: should then mount once its a disk
[11:07] <Omar87> Slart, I have an Intel. I wouldn't have bought this machine myself if wasn't my brother that bought it for me, though. :)

[11:16] <user881> bazhang GeForce6200
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> user881: nvidia-glx should do you
[11:16] <gee_> Hi sorry i am back guys. But whats the command to mount an external drive?
[11:17] <user881> ActionParsnip, will that do 3d acceleration?
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> user881: indeed, ive got nearly the same card on my mobo :)
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> gee_: sudo mkdir /media/ipod; sudo mount /dev/<some name> /media/ipod
[11:18] <stapel> ActionParsnip: Nope, does not work...problem is the windows machine was rebooted while the share was mounted
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> gee_: replace <somename> with the dev that relates to your device, you can find it out with sudo fdisk -l
[11:18] <kaushal> hi
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> stapel: then id sudo umount the mount then remount, or reboot your linux box
[11:19] <gee_> thanks action
[11:19] <kaushal> I am using Network Manager to connect to OpenVPN Server
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> is anyone keeping my score :D
[11:19] <kaushal> after connecting to Network Manager I need to add the sudo ip route add <IP_ADDRESS>/8 via <IP_ADDRESS> dev tap0
[11:20] <kaushal> is there a way to automate it
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: man route
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: remember to make it permanent ;)
[11:20] <user881> ActionParsnip, much appreciated. have installed that, am now restarting.
[11:20] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: actually I want to add it only when I am connected to openvpn server
[11:21] <kaushal> I mean add it after i have connected to openvpn server
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: make a script and maybe you could have it run when the vpn connects. ive not played with vpn in linux
[11:21] <gee_> !paste | gee
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: maybe theres a post connection script bit you can add
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: or just manually run it
[11:22] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: Much appreciated
[11:22] <kaushal> can you give me some examples
[11:22] <gee_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/39080/
[11:22] <gee_> action thats my fdisk -l
[11:22] <gee_> did my external come up? i cannot tell
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_add_a_static_route
[11:23] <stapel> ActionParsnip: sudo umount does not work, even sudo umount -f does not work
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> gee_: noor youd see 2 blocks of stuff
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> stapel: sudo umount /mount/point
[11:24] <thomasite> Hello
[11:24] <thomasite> :)
[11:24] <stapel> Action: Yes, that's what I meant
[11:24] <stapel> Action: It just says resource busy
[11:24] <gee_> Action, i may need to restart my computer, be right back
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> stapel: id just reboot
[11:25] <gee_> Since my drive is not showing up
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> stapel: are you currently cd'ed into the dir?
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> stapel: cd ~/;sudo umount /path/to/mount
[11:26] <linxeh> stapel: chances are one or more processes have that drive open - maybe you have a nautilus window open on the desktop or something
[11:26] <ganesh> what are the packages required for biometric
[11:27] <thomasite> How do I use OooLatex? :( I'm having a hard time installing it.
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> !info biometric
[11:28] <stapel> Action: It looks like "sudo umount -l /mount/point" did the trick --just for future reference
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> thomasite: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=334218
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> stapel:sweet dude, cheers for the line, make sure you arent sat in the dir you are tring to umount
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> stapel: it dont work too good ;)
[11:29] <gee_> Action, what was the command to check drives again

[11:29] <ActionParsnip> gee_: sudo fdisk -l

[11:53] <gadget> but sound is not working..
[11:53] <gadget> where should i start the analysis?
[11:53] <gadget> i think the card already worked.. but after an systemupdate no sound is aktive..
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> gadget: lspci
[11:54] <gadget> okay
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> gadget: then websearch from there
[11:54] <descentspb> Hello! Does anyone know, how can i change the default locale for a particular application?
[11:54] <gadget> okay.. but another question..
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> user881: better?
[11:55] <gadget> lspci doesn't show a device named "Sigmatel".
[11:55] <gadget> is that normal?
[11:55] <descentspb> I.e. i want some app to be run in en_US locale, not in the default one
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> gadget: you'll see the word audio or sound
[11:55] <gadget> okay, i'll try
[11:55] <user881> ActionParsnip, I don't think ive done it correctly, no change.
[11:56] <gadget> still no audio or sound
[11:56] <chronographer> anyone want to help me with a bit of java GUI work?
[11:56] <gadget> lspci finds chipset, sata, wlan, o2, express card, usb, vga and so on..
[11:57] <gadget> but nothing concerning audio

[11:59] <ActionParsnip> gadget: so its an intel soundchip, sigmatel just put it together
[11:59] <The_ManU_212> isnt my system save with default settings after installation?
[12:00] <user881> ActionParsnip, no there isn't a logo
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> user881: then its not installed, you tried envy?
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> gadget: and now you websearch 82801H
[12:00] <gadget> kk

[12:01] <bazhang> !hdaintel
[12:01] <bazhang> gadget, ^^
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> user881: you have to add some refresh rates and resolutions to get full accell. Its a glitch
[12:01] <lukasz> Hello, I was listening to the internet radio using moc yesterday, it all worked fine, today, it isn't working at all - it says format not supported - any ideas?
[12:02] <gadget> quiet contradictorily

[12:03] <jokoon> hello :) how can I share files (shared folder) between 2 ubuntu distros ? (xfce or gnome)... with ssh ? (nfs needs some server setup looks quite sophisticated for me) sshfs ?
[12:03] <undef> jokoon: well, if you don't mind putting commands you can use sftp or scp
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> user881: ill give you mine and you can compare
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> user881: http://pastebin.com/f2f3ce651
[12:04] <user881> ActionParsnip, thanks. is this issue specific to this release of ubuntu?
[12:04] <undef> but you can use sshfs as well, though I never used and I think is harder than nfs to setup
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> user881: no idea, its just something ive seen a lot
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> user881: i run at 1024x768
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> user881: you may want to leave out the bit with nologo til you know its working
[12:06] <jokoon> how do I restart samba ?
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> user881: it was so much easier in gutsy as there was a nice app to set it up but it apears to have vanished despite it kicking ass
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> jokoon: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[12:06] <hateball> jokoon: You can just enter ssh://ip.of.host in nautilus for filesharing over ssh

[12:25] <Acorn> .mount
[12:25] <grobda24> Is there an alternative to Zenity (gui dialogs for scripts) that is not an optional install - would be available to all users ?
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> Acorn: use sudo amount -a in terminal
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> Acorn: or take a screenshot
[12:25] <abh2> how can I install alfresco on ubuntu
[12:25] <bazhang> divya123, that is web based; nothing to do with ubuntu
[12:25] <Acorn> ActionParsnip: it starts with $logfile indicates unclean shutdown

[12:27] <Acorn> ActionParsnip: I put the command into terminal and nothing happened
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> Acorn: thats a good place to start searching
[12:27] <journey4712> unfortunatly, wine is not windows, wine is attempting to emulate a partially documented API, bugs and all . . . have you considered running a virtual windows host on your ubuntu through virtualbox?
[12:27] <the_eraser> ActionParsnip: you know how to set bg color?
[12:27] <bazhang> http://www.odesk.com/community/downloads#linux divya123
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> Acorn: is stuff mounted now?
[12:27] <divya123> @journey4712 I haven't tried Lemmme try that.But the person who is handling the project is having account in Odesk
[12:27] <Acorn> ActionParsnip: nope, nothing changed
[12:28] <journey4712> virtualbox is a way to run windows as part of linux
[12:28] <divya123> @bazhang tried that also not getting done properly
[12:28] <journey4712> it will boot up windows, hide the desktop so you just see the windows bar on your desktop

[12:37] <bazhang> KiDFlaSh, this is not related to workspaces
[12:37] <ValentineX> @actionparsnip what is the command

[12:40] <Pici> ajaz: In relation to Ubuntu?
[12:40] <bazhang> ajaz, licensing? for ubuntu?
[12:40] <MikeSeth> ajaz: there's no such thing as mail server licensing, unless you're using a commercial product in which case we can't and don't want to help you
[12:40] <ajaz> yes ubuntu mail server

[12:42] <ValentineX> bazhang:  hmm ok thanks
[12:43] <gd1> hi, I'm near to solve a problem, but I need your help
[12:43] <gd1> I can install Ubuntu 7.10 but not 8.04 because of a kernel incompatibility
[12:44] <k31to> is there a way to make rhythmbox show the artwork embedded in an mp3 file?
[12:44] <gd1> with my hardware
[12:44] <MikeSeth> k31to: mp3 supports embedded artwork? @_@
[12:44] <gd1> how can I install 8.04 with OLD kernel (2.6.22-14-generic)
[12:44] <k31to> MikeSeth: yes
[12:44] <gd1> that wonderful old kernel works fine with my hardware
[12:46] <k31to> MikeSeth: using EasyTag or some other media tagger you can choose an image to embed
[12:46] <gd1> no ideas?
[12:46] <gd1> like updating 7.10 to 8.04
[12:46] <gd1> keeping old kernel?
[12:46] <afriendforyou_> anyone does know a chat support for ubuntu?
[12:46] <Teisei> Can somebody tell me what to do? I can't use both cores of my processor because if I do that I'm unable to boot to Ubuntu (7.04, 7.10, 8.04, 8.10) normally ... I will get kernel panics and cpu failures
[12:47] <bullgard4> What is a 'Platform Device'? (As displayed by the 'Device Manager' program)
[12:47] <Teisei> My computer is Lenovo Thinkpad T60
[12:47] <MikeSeth> Teisei: SMP kernel?
[12:47] <Teisei> SMP ?
[12:47] <Teisei> Generic
[12:47] <MikeSeth> now that I think of it I have Thinkpad Z60m and it only runs a single core too
[12:47] <emorris> hi, where are logon passwords stored in Ubuntu?
[12:48] <wols> emorris: /etc/shadow
[12:48] <Teisei> If I enable Core Multi Processing from BIOS I can't even boot to Ubuntu Live CD
[12:48] <rtz3463> emorris: /etc/shadow, but they aren't stored there in plain text
[12:48] <rtz3463> emorris: unix systems only store password hashes
[12:49] <MikeSeth> Teisei: I havent tried to run it multicore so I don't know
[12:49] <ERICH_MOBILE> when i use a usb mouse and its plugged in before i power on the mouse works fine. after a restart though, the mouse lags really bad and is unusable. Any ideas?
[12:50] <emorris> wols, rtz3463: thanks. i was pretty sure they would be encrypted. i just needed them to check how secure they were
[12:50] <rtz3463> emorris: hash != encryption
[12:50] <Teisei> I tried Ubuntu 6.06 Live CD and it actually booted ! But any newer Live CD's, as well as the installed systems, don't work with Core Multi Processing enabled ... I can only boot to recovery mode
[12:50] <Teisei> I wonder if there's a problem with kernels newer than what's in 6.06 Live CD ... or then it is my hardware
[12:51] <Teisei> But I've heard many people have same problems
[12:51] <emorris> rtz3463: you know what i meant
[12:51] <Toth> hey all
[12:51] <rtz3463> emorris: a hash function is a one-way function, cannot be reversed. more than one password can result in the same hash value

[12:53] <Acorn> Could someone help me get my drives mounted? I'm running the live cd and I get an error when I try and mount: http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/6377/screenshotkx5.jpg
[12:53] <Xteven>
[12:54] <wols> Acorn: if it's uncleanly unmounted before run windows again and let it chkdsk
[12:54] <wols> if it's already mounted see the output of "mount"
[12:55] <Acorn> I need to reinstall windows, I get BSOD straight after starting
[12:55] <Acorn> I just wanted to use the live CD to copy over some files before I reinstall
[12:55] <wols> boot to recovery console anf chkdsk there
[12:55] <Acorn> what's recovery console?
[12:56] <juro> on a dapper server install, I need to upgrade to libcompress-zlib-perl (>= 1.42), when I do a apt-get install libcompress-zlib-perl, I get a message that it is up to date (1.41-1). how can I force this?
[12:56] <wols> a windows thing. ##windows
[12:56] <bazhang> grobda24, yes
[12:56] <azexian> can someone tell me which nvidia driver is best for performance, official, or the debian package?
[12:56] <wols> juro: you can't. why do you install dapper still?
[12:56] <Slart> azexian: the binary, proprietary one
[12:56] <Acorn> all I want to do is be able to copy my files over then format the disk, why does it have to have anything to do with windows?
[12:56] <wols> azexian: NOT the one from nvidia.com
[12:56] <LamerC> hello
[12:56] <azexian> Slart: you mean the one from nvidia.com?
[12:57] <Toth> My Wintv-HVR-930 doesn't work anyone can help me please. Not recognized ?
[12:57] <wols> Acorn: cause it'S uncleanly unmounted and there is no fsck for ntfs
[12:57] <azexian> wols: I've used that one before with no problems, i just got my 8600GT, and I want to get the most out of it
[12:57] <Slart> azexian: well.. it's the same one.. but there is one available from the repos
[12:57] <rtz3463> wols: shouldn't it be read only mountable then?
[12:57] <Acorn> but my windows installation is broken so I cant use it to fix it
[12:57] <juro> wols, productive server that has been running for about 2.5 years
[12:57] <wols> azexian: nvidia.com one breaks your package management. not supported here
[12:57] <juro> wols, so I can't update MailScanner (which relies on the newer package?)
[12:57] <LamerC> when creating partition it appears on desktop but that is not desired.  I added to fstab the partition, but what to do to prevent it from showing on the desktop
[12:57] <wols> juro: backport it yourself then
[12:57] <azexian> wols: breaks your package management? what are you talking about?
[12:58] <wols> azexian: what I told you
[12:58] <juro> wols, what? MailScanner?
[12:58] <azexian> Slart: is the beta one any good?
[12:58] <wols> juro: no the package which needs to be 1.4.2
[12:58] <pawan> hi
[12:58] <azexian> wols: it doesn't access your packages, how can it break them?
[12:58] <juro> wols, how do I backport that?
[12:58] <wols> azexian: it overwrites files without asking
[12:58] <wols> !backport
[12:58] <pawan> !hi
[12:59] <Slart> azexian: beta?.. I would stay away from beta drivers unless you really really need them
[12:59] <azexian> wols: it does warn not to install nvidia-glx-* first, because it will replace them
[12:59] <pawan> !ps2
[12:59] <the_eraser> anyone know if you can get tabs in xterm?
[13:00] <wols> azexian: there is no "nvidia-glx" with nvidia.com drivers. those are are ubuntu ones which have that package
[13:00] <grobda24> bazhang, ok, thanks. I'm trying to find a dialog maker for scripts installed by default. There whiptail for the console. I wonder if there's a GUI one ?
[13:00] <azexian> wols: i know, i know, but if oyu keep it installed, then it will replace packages, that's why you install one or the other
[13:01] <rtz3463> the_eraser: xterm can't do tabs. you might want to look at screen. it is a terminal multiplexer, which can run in xterm as well as any other terminal.
[13:01] <wols> azexian: anything you download directly from nvidia.com will break your packagemanagement and is not supported. the end
[13:01] <the_eraser> rtz3463: ok :/

[13:02] <TJ-Linux> Hi, I'm having a problem with grub and dual booting.  When Ubuntu was installed, I was unable to boot windows with the grub commands: root (hd0,0), chainloader +1 ... I would get the message NTLDR is missing.  I found that by adding the "boot" command to the end, it would work fine.  But it seems as if now, it is skipping the NTLDR, because it skips the windows boot.ini which states that I should be presented with a menu with the option
[13:02] <azexian> wols: if you say so, but i've used it before, no problems, clearly a banned topic here
[13:02] <rtz3463> the_eraser: screen is better anyway
[13:02] <ValentineX> oh I did that from paste.ubuntu.com alreasy
[13:02] <rtz3463> the_eraser: can be detached/reattached and all that
[13:02] <wols> azexian: for your card it's not needed. and old cards like yours don't get improvements in new drivers
[13:02] <azexian> wols: the 8600GT is not an old card
[13:02] <wols> azexian: it is
[13:03] <azexian> wols: no, 9 series ahve only just come out, and they are simply over clocked versions of the 8800GTS, 8600GT is still considered a good card
[13:03] <the_eraser> rtz3463: yea i used screen before, but graphical tabs would be nicer than ctrl-a-... all the time :)
[13:03] <ValentineX> Hot to use paste.ubuntu.com for multi lines
[13:03] <ValentineX> how*
[13:04] <wols> azexian: it is old and it's a shit card. I own one. 17th april 2007
[13:04] <rtz3463> the_eraser: but graphical tabs won't survive a X restart
[13:04] <wols> !paste | ValentineX
[13:04] <azexian> wols: clearly you know little about gpus, they change, you can get a shit 9 series card too, and an amazing one, they vary
[13:04] <bazhang> azexian, no cursing
[13:04] <juro> crap, MailScanner keeps on restarting and all my mails are not delivered .... help!
[13:05] <azexian> bazhang: i didn't curse
[13:05] <wols> azexian: they're still faster than your 8600. not to mention the 9500gt is NOT a g92 card
[13:05] <wols> azexian: so if I were you I wouldn't tell other people they don't know anything...
[13:05] <azexian> wols: i know the speed is different, but that's not all that's in a card
[13:05] <modoc> How can I change when updatedb runs?
[13:05] <wols> azexian: your card is old and not really improved anymore by nvidia. that's it
[13:05] <azexian> wols: i didn't say you don't know anything, you wouldn't be here if you knew nothing, unless you were asking a question
[13:06] <azexian> wols: 2007 isn't that long ago anyway
[13:06] <wols> for nvidia it's LAST gen aka OLD
[13:07] <wols> if you want a card in the same price bracket they sell you a 9500 or 9600
[13:07] <wols> 8600gt is not really sold anymore
[13:07] <ValentineX> http://paste.ubuntu.com/39110/
[13:07] <azexian> wols: i looked around A LOT before getting the 8600GT, and you can't get anything as good for that price range
[13:07] <bazhang> lets take vid card chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[13:08] <erma91> salve
[13:09] <azexian> bazhang: wols it's ok, i think i'm finished here, i came here, i got an opinion to a question, now i'll go else where and look for other opinions, and make my own based on that,

[13:10] <Casao_Acer> rtz3463: yes, but trying to remove evolution server says it will remove ubuntu-desktop
[13:10] <Casao_Acer> which i imagine is bad
[13:10] <rtz3463> Casao_Acer: ubuntu-desktop is just an empty package
[13:10] <hateball> Casao_Acer: It's only a meta-package
[13:10] <rtz3463> Casao_Acer: empty package with nothing but dependencies
[13:11] <Casao_Acer> Ah, ok, so it being removed isn't an issue?
[13:11] <rtz3463> Casao_Acer: so removing it won't kill your desktop
