[21:27] <nasso> im running spotify in wine on my ubuntu machine. while im doing that im sometimes having graphical problems in other applications. its kind of like the screen of the applications doesnt upgrade. when you scroll back and forth in firefox images and text kind of "sticks" and makes it hard to read. have anyone had this problem or know what might cause it?
[21:27] <Hilikus> so any ideas? my UMS mp3 player is reported as not being removable so i cant mount it with pmount
[21:27] <pirvings> pyrohotdog: ffmpeg
[21:27] <mib_e0hpl1> i downloaded kubuntu, but not able to get WiFi working .. anyone had same issue_
[21:27] <mib_e0hpl1> ?
[21:27] <benste> user___ so no other ideas left,? eg I read about http://coherence.beebits.net/wiki/Nautilus but didn't get the point
[21:27] <tmg1|riemann> the fact that you're having this problem is a bad sign imho, i thought ubuntu dealt with this issue
[21:27] <amaurea> after being updated to <IP_ADDRESS> from <IP_ADDRESS>, I have a small but irritating problem with the nvidia driver (180.22): In some games there seems to be some kind of resource leak. things slow down after a while, and the game crashes. any ideas of what could be wrong? I have tried reinstalling the driver (which was necessary anyway)
[21:27] <IndyGunFreak> mib_e0hpl1: wel, first, type "lspci" no quotes, in a terminal, and figure ut what your wireless device is
[21:28] <meho_r> pyrohotdog: you mean extract audio from flash? Try avidemux
[21:28] <alito66> Escriba el texto aquí....hola
[21:28] <newpers> any reason why i can't ssh into my machine.  ssh server is running and i see it listening on <IP_ADDRESS>:22.  i can ping the server, but i get a network error: connection refused when i try to ssh into it
[21:28] <kb3ien> i'm starting with gnome, i'll see if that works.
[21:28] <user___> benste: seems to be a server also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_(UPNP)
[21:29] <D_likescookies> I'm having trouble, how do I run terminal as root?
[21:29] <benste> user___ what is coherence ? is it just a name?
[21:29] <kb3ien> some mention of debian 'sid's was found by google, but i've had both kde and gnome before....
[21:29] <RichW> I plan to get a 1TB drive and partition it so that it dual boots vista and ubuntu. Vista has its own bootloader (bootmgr?) and linux has grub... a drive cant have two bootloaders can it?
[21:29] <guntbert> !root | D_likescookies
[21:29] <RichW> I am a bit confused about this.
[21:29] <user___> benste: its a software, read the article, it mentions gstreamer and *rhythmbox* for the client side
[21:29] <D_likescookies> ty guntbert
[21:29] <shear> RichW, if you install windows then linux, grub can handle the booting for both
[21:30] <theilluminatic> which parts of the gstreamer pipline
[21:30] <theilluminatic> audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=6 ! id3v2mux
[21:30] <theilluminatic> would I change if I want to rip v0 mp3?
[21:30] <lmoretti> Hi- Having issues with a newly installed eSATA drive: getting the following every 5 sec /var/log/messages- Feb 28 15:29:43 notlame kernel: [  489.470050] ata3: SATA link down (SStatus 1 SControl 0)
[21:30] <lmoretti> Feb 28 15:29:43 notlame kernel: [  489.470072] ata3: EH complete
[21:30] <lmoretti> Feb 28 15:29:43 notlame kernel: [  489.473108] ata3: hard resetting link
[21:30] <RichW> grub duplicates what vista does for booting?
[21:30] <IndyGunFreak> RichW: grub will overwrite vista's boot loader, the bootloader will load first, then assuming all goes well, you'll be able to choose which os you want to boot
[21:30] <RichW> So grub has a windows bootloader implimentation?
[21:30] <shear> RichW, I've never done it with vista, but dual booting with XP works fine with GRUB as the bootloader
[21:30] <tmg1|riemann> RichW: it can...but it might take some doing
[21:30] <RichW> I have vista
[21:31] <RichW> I plan to use vista for games.
[21:31] <nasso> guntbert, i "activated" my root account with sudo passwd, is there a simple way to deactivate it again? just choose a random long password and forget it? :P
[21:31] <guntbert> D_likescookies: yw, if you *really* need a root shell (and not just single commands as root) use sudo -i
[21:31] <IndyGunFreak> RichW: no, grub will give you a menu entry of "Windows vista" for example, and you choose it, and it boots vista
[21:31] <tmg1|riemann> RichW: put it this way, at work we were seriously using grub to boot windows server 2008 since we were having so much trouble getting windows bootloader to do it properly
[21:31] <dmz> anyone here familiar with ubiquity?
[21:31] <tmg1|riemann> nasso: you go into /etc/password and change the password string there from whatever it is to whatever it is that represents 'no password'
[21:31] <tmg1|riemann> i think it's just * but you'll see most of the other users in that file will have it
[21:31] <RichW> Can you explain how it does it technically.... since vista requires its own bootloader to boot doesnt it? does grub read ntfs?
[21:32] <user___> benste: not sure if that make sense with rhytmbox though since we talk about movies
[21:32] <IndyGunFreak> RichW: use google
[21:32] <guntbert> nasso: don't follow tmg1|riemann !
[21:32] <Hilikus> even lshal is marking my device as non removable
[21:32] <Hilikus> hilikus@mazinger:~$ cat /sys/block/sdc/removable
[21:32] <Hilikus> 0
[21:32] <tmg1|riemann> guntbert: ?
[21:32] <Hilikus> but it is
[21:33] <amaurea> How do I go back to an earlier version of the kernel? The one I recently upgraded to is giving me trouble
[21:33] <lmoretti> RichW: I've usually seen it "Chainload"- it boots the GRUB loader, then when you select Windows, it hands off to the Windows Bootloader.
[21:33] <theilluminatic> which part of this gstreamer pipeline
[21:33] <theilluminatic> audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=6 ! id3v2mux
[21:33] <theilluminatic> do I change to rip v0 mp3s?
[21:33] <guntbert> tmg1|riemann: there are no passwords in /etc/password
[21:33] <RichW> Perhaps i will have to test inside a virtualbox.
[21:33] <RichW> Imoretti: your suggesting a hard drive can have two bootloaders?
[21:33] <theilluminatic> anyone?
[21:33] <nasso> tmg1|riemann, no password means that just can log in without a password. that doesnt sound like a good idea on a root account
[21:33] <mysyfy> hi, i just erroneous executed chown -R user.users * at /var
[21:34] <mysyfy> is there any easy way to restore previous ownership ?
[21:34] <IndyGunFreak> RichW: there are plenty of people who dual boot vista/ubuntu.. if there were an issue w/ the bootloaders, it would show up in google... I've told you how it works, and you insist on not listening... i can't make you see the forest if you're blinded by the trees
[21:34] <tmg1|riemann> there is a default symbol that doesn't allow login though
[21:34] <RichW> Ok i guess a drive does support two loaders then.
[21:34] <lmoretti> RichW: Sort of- most OS's don't store the whole bootloader in the sector 0 anymore- not enough space: so they write a small piece of code there that calls a "Secondary" bootloader off another area of the drive: /boot in the case of linux.
[21:34] <tmg1|riemann> x ?
[21:34] <Umeaboy> Hi!
[21:34] <tmg1|riemann> i think it's x
[21:34] <IndyGunFreak> RichW: lol
[21:34] <imperator_> #xbins
[21:34] <tmg1|riemann> x not *
[21:35] <guntbert> nasso: tmg1|riemann, edit /etc/shadow (as root), find the line root: ... and replace the string between the 1st and 2nd colon with an exclamation mark
[21:35] <mysyfy> chmod -R 777 * ???????
[21:35] <tmg1|riemann> sorry /etc/passwd
[21:35] <Decepticon> how do i tell where the largest files on the hdd are
[21:35] <Umeaboy> I need some help by looking at a problem if it is caused by a bug.
[21:35] <nasso> tmg1|riemann, if you use /dev/false as shell in /etc/passwd you cant login
[21:35] <manaus> boa tarde
[21:35] <manaus> alguem pode me ajudar
[21:35] <nasso> thats not what i want though
[21:35] <Umeaboy> I don't know if the problem is caused by a bug or a faulty graphicscard.
[21:35] <RichW> IndyGunFreak: Thanks, thats what i wanted to know in first place :)
[21:36] <cconstantine_> Could someone help me upgrade alsa?  I need version 1.0.18 or newer.
[21:36] <nasso> guntbert, will try that, thanks
[21:36] <tmg1|riemann> nasso: that works too
[21:36] <lmoretti> RichW: so what it does is the part of Grub in the sector 0 calls the GRUB program in /boot.  When you select the "Windows" entry, it then calls the Windows bootloader off your windows partition.
[21:36] <Umeaboy> manaus: #ubuntu-br please.
[21:36] <tmg1|riemann> wait
[21:36] <tmg1|riemann> no
[21:36] <tmg1|riemann> it's not that you don't want to be able to login maybe
[21:36] <RichW> IndyGunFreak: Makes alot more sense now.
[21:36] <manaus> estou com um problema com o meu pen drive
[21:36] <tmg1|riemann> i'm not sure if the /dev/false thing will screw with sudo/pam or not
[21:37] <Umeaboy> manaus: Pen drive? This isn't the right channel for pen drive-support.
[21:37] <unop> Decepticon, if you want a GUI representation - baobab should help. if you want a command line solution, let me know and i'll paste one.
[21:37] <RichW> Imoretti*
[21:37] <Decepticon> im using ncdu
[21:37] <guntbert> nasso: yw , just do it in /etc/shadow and not in /etc/passwd
[21:37] <Guest88690> i wonder why apt-get upgrade doesn't seem to pickup the kernel updates
[21:37] <Umeaboy> manaus: #pendrive is also a place you should visit.
[21:37] <lmoretti> RichW: Yes?
[21:37] <manaus> ?
[21:38] <RichW> Imoretti, sorry i was quoting IndyGunFreak by accident.
[21:38] <benste> user___ sorry I was away - rhytmbox was only named because it has a working DAAP solution and a hopefully working DLNA server plugin
[21:38] <benste> for audio only
[21:38] <nasso> guntbert, /etc/shadow doesnt specify shell. /etc/passwd do
[21:38] <user___> benste: i just got word that vlc 1.0 should have dlna client support (in the future)
[21:38] <manaus> Disco /dev/sdb: 33.5 GB,<PHONE_NUMBER>0 bytes
[21:38] <manaus> 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 32000 cylinders
[21:38] <manaus> Units = cilindros of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes
[21:38] <manaus> Disk identifier: 0x5db11f9f
[21:38] <manaus> O disco /dev/sdb não contém uma tabela de partições válida
[21:38] <FloodBot2> manaus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:38] <nasso> guntbert, added the ! in shadow. works like a charm. thanks
[21:38] <manaus> ok
[21:39] <manaus> obrigado
[21:39] <pj_> ls
[21:39] <benste> user___ ok in the future and now there is no way?
[21:39] <benste> user___ wiki quote: Coherence also acts as a Python framework to enable applications access to digital living network resources
[21:39] <guntbert> nasso: glad to help, no need to change the shell
[21:39] <benste> user___ so it works a client as well or?
[21:40] <Guest88690> if you are going to run most of what you are doing in VMs anyways, should I really care about using the nvidia drivers...do they buy me anything?
[21:40] <Rocket101> any one can help in small thing  iam  have  all file .conf changed to be with  exe icon
[21:40] <lion_> ping
[21:40] <dr_Willis> Rocket101,  if the file is made 'executable' it might be using that icon incorrectly.
[21:41] <benste> user___ PS3 seems to use coherence, so that's the solution I'm looking for
[21:41] <lion_> hi piplz
[21:41] <theilluminatic> which part of this gstreamer pipeline
[21:41] <theilluminatic> audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=6 ! id3v2mux
[21:41] <theilluminatic> do I change to rip v0 mp3s?
[21:41] <Rocket101> dr_Willis, yes  its executable  how can i get it back to normal?
[21:41] <Rocket101> normal=txt icon
[21:42] <user___> benste: hmm, i feel that if you set all on context its a server only system
[21:42] <benste> but PS3 is a client only DLNA
[21:42] <benste> PS:
[21:42] <benste> python-coherence
[21:43] <fidelitysystem> hi i have question
[21:43] <benste> is user___ installed by default with ubuntu
[21:43] <fidelitysystem> how  i trying to connect with windows via putty but the ip dont response ..
[21:43] <whisperkiller> can someone help me out?  I installed wine-doors and I cant get it to work
[21:44] <nasso> fidelitysystem, is there a ssh server running on the computer you are trying to connect to?
[21:44] <whisperkiller> it won't come up when I try to run it
[21:44] <fidelitysystem> no i need to install ?
[21:45] <user___> benste: coherence is a server, look at http://coherence.beebits.net/wiki/DocumentationDepartment#Configuration
[21:45] <lion_> as farasI know putty can connect via telnet also
[21:45] <mib_e0hpl1> IndyGunFreak: my device is a Atheros wireless
[21:45] <dr_Willis> Rocket101,  make it non executable. :) chmod -x filename
[21:45] <whisperkiller> can soemone help me figure out why i cant start winedoors?
[21:45] <IndyGunFreak> mib_e0hpl1: well, there's a lot of atheros wireless devices...
[21:45] <nasso> fidelitysystem, yes you do, just a moment
[21:45] <fidelitysystem> im installed
[21:45] <fidelitysystem> with sudo apt-get install ssh
[21:45] <nasso> fidelitysystem, run; sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[21:46] <fidelitysystem> o another ok
[21:46] <nasso> fidelitysystem, that only installs the client, i would guess
[21:46] <benste> user___ ok thanks for your time, I'll try to go on searching how to use it with gstreamer and so on
[21:46] <fidelitysystem> done and now i can connect ?
[21:46] <fidelitysystem> with my ip of internet
[21:46] <nasso> fidelitysystem, the server and client is separate
[21:46] <Rocket101> dr_Willis, LoL but ubuntu mount windows drivers with exec :( how can  i avoid it :P
[21:46] <mib_e0hpl1> IndyGunFreak: Atheros AR242x
[21:46] <user___> benste: ok, good luck :-)
[21:46] <nasso> fidelitysystem, try if it works
[21:46] <benste> thanks
[21:46] <lion_> btw, I also have a question
[21:47] <IndyGunFreak> mib_e0hpl1: 32 or 64bit?
[21:47] <whisperkiller> can someone help me figure out why i cant start wine-doors in 8.10?
[21:47] <Rocket101> dr_Willis, its big prop for me  i hate exe icon
[21:47] <guntbert> !repeat | whisperkiller
[21:48] <fidelitysystem> mmm Network refused
[21:48] <fidelitysystem> why :S
[21:48] <chuckc> i get no sound under 9.04.  alsamixer says digital is on and analog is off, but i can't figure out how to turn on analog,  hda intel iec958
[21:48] <whisperkiller> scuse me gunbert but my question scrolled off screen i dont see how that is repeating quickle
[21:48] <nasso> fidelitysystem, if it doesnt, you probably have a router or firewall in the way. you could connect to it using the local ip. run the command; ifconfig to see what ip you have locally
[21:48] <nasso> fidelitysystem, run it on the machine with the openssh-server
[21:48] <whisperkiller> im nost spamming...if you dont want to answer me then kindly keep to yourself
[21:48] <pmitros> Hi. I'm trying to make X allow tcp connections. I am aware of the security risk, but it is on a private network, and temporarily necessary. I changed /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc, as well as /etc/gdm/gdm.conf, and finally X starts without -nolisten tcp. It still doesn't listen on TCP, however. nmap shows port 6000 closed, and X forwarding doesn't work.
[21:48] <dr_Willis> Rocket101,  its trivial.. the only real propblem is that if you double click on it.. it might try to run.  If you copy things from windows filesystems. often the exe bit gets set wrongly.
[21:48] <pmitros> Any clues as to how to force X to accept TCP connections?
[21:49] <dr_Willis> # Script to fix permissions on all files below current dir. *make the files NOT exeutable *
[21:49] <dr_Willis> find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 664
[21:49] <dr_Willis> :)
[21:49] <Rocket101> dr_Willis, its OK thanks man
[21:49] <fidelitysystem>  inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS> this mean what my ip internet?
[21:49] <dr_Willis> pmitros,  ive had x forarding work without having to do that..  but that may be due to me using ssh i guess...
[21:50] <lion_> I'm trying to NATing one computer via ubuntu running on second one.. i've enabled ip_forwarding, have enabled masquerading in iptables, but packets not returning to me
[21:50] <dr_Willis> pmitros,  or it could be theres some other way to 'x forward' that ive never messed with :)
[21:50] <Caplain> lion_: did you setup the masquerade chain in iptables and routing?
[21:50] <pmitros> dr_willis: ssh uses a Unix domain socket and ssh port tunneling to set it up (which has the advantage of being secure). It doesn't do normal TCP x forwarding.
[21:50] <fidelitysystem> ls
[21:51] <dr_Willis> pmitros,  too many similer terms i guess. :) confuses us  non-cs majors. :)
[21:51] <nasso> fidelitysystem, that is you local ip on the local network
[21:51] <whisperkiller> can someone help me figure out why I cannot get winedoors to start up in 8.10?
[21:51] <nasso> fidelitysystem, you can connect to the ssh server using that ip
 under root: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADING
[21:52] <dr_Willis> pmitros,   and that differs from doing a 'xhost + localhost' "export DISPLAY=' and running somthing    In what way? ive ran apps that way befor..
[21:52] <pmitros> dr_willis: On classic Unix systems, X listens on TCP port 6000. To connect to a machine, you'd simply "xhost +machine-name-one" to permit that machine to connect, and "export DISPLAY=machine-name-2:0.0" to tell X what machine to display to.
[21:52] <Caplain> lion_: pm me
[21:52] <fidelitysystem> mm but if trying for another computer
[21:52] <fidelitysystem> how i can do that
 how?
[21:53] <nasso> fidelitysystem, start putty and connect to <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:53] <fidelitysystem> but that is the ip local ?
[21:53] <pmitros> dr_willis: X went unencrypted over the network. Very insecure. ssh introduced a secure way to do it.  Normally, it is a settable flag, but Ubuntu appears to have broken it so you can't unset it.
[21:54] <R0b0t1> Does anyone have a suggestion of a grey/brown theme?
[21:54] <Hilikus> my ums mp3 player is reported by sysfs as not being removable and i cant use pmount to mount it anymore. i was able to pre 8.1. any ideas why this changed?
[21:54] <nasso> fidelitysystem, it is the local ip for the linux computer yes. if you have a router at home all computers on your network gets a local ip each. they all share one extenal ip
[21:55] <fidelitysystem> ok and if my friend wants to connecting how he can connect ?
[21:55] <nasso> fidelitysystem, the local ip can be found using ifconfig in linux and ipconfig in windows in the cmd application.
[21:55] <hunt577> Hi, I got to the screen in BIOS where I clicked on "Run Ubuntu without changing anything on my computer" but when I hit enter on that nothing ever happens, it just sort of freezes.  Tried burning the image onto another CD-R but same thing
[21:56] <fidelitysystem> but my friend can`t connect to my server because is not in my network ...
[21:56] <cconstantine_> fidelitysystem: you need to configure your router to forward to your internal IP (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[21:56] <nasso> fidelitysystem, if a friend want to connect you have to forward a port from the router to the computer with the open-ssh server. and he connects to the ip that you see if you surf to http://www.ip-adress.com/
[21:56] <rambo3> I has problem with mouting speakers
[21:57] <nasso> fidelitysystem, cconstantine_ , yeah. and you probably need to set up your dhcp-server so that <IP_ADDRESS> keeps that ip
[21:57] <alex_mayorga> rambo3: what's the problem?
[21:57] <fidelitysystem> whats the dhcp srever
[21:57] <jpds> !dhcp | fidelitysystem
[21:57] <cconstantine_> fidelitysystem: most likely the router
[21:58] <nasso> fidelitysystem, its a function on the router that gives computers ip-addresses. you can configure it to always give the same ip the a computer
[21:58] <guntbert> fidelitysystem: please ask in ##networking for further assistance with that
[21:58] <alex_mayorga> fidelitysystem: is the host in the network that assigns dynamic IPs to other hosts
[21:58] <fidelitysystem> ok
[21:58] <fidelitysystem> and now jeje im bother u but how i can install the apache
[21:58] <dmz> is there a web page for ubiquity? i am only finding bug reports and no real details on how it's put together anywhere
[21:59] <guntbert> fidelitysystem: sudo apt-get install apache2
[21:59] <fidelitysystem> thanks
[21:59] <jeff_> hello
[22:00] <nasso> does anyone know how to scroll in a screen session?
[22:00] <tmg1|riemann> huh, i gave the fan a spin, and it started spinning on its own. that makes some sense

[22:03] <pmitros> dr_willis: xdmx seg faulting? I'm pretty sure that's a bug. The TCP forwarding may be "fixed" -- like you do a pet.
[22:03] <_VIM_> ramukaka420: do you have a question?
[22:03] <dr_Willis> mm1,  if the proper modules are loaded.. you sould see a /dev/video0  device.
[22:04] <cyrus_mc> on the GDM login screen there is an option under sessions called Xclients. I assume this is the session you want to use if you j ust want to start up X number of applications. Question is, how do I setup up what apps to start
[22:04] <jsn> Given a loaded module, how can I determine which version it is?
[22:04] <guntbert> nasso: it seems so - or they call it a feature ;-)
[22:04] <fidelitysystem> mm installed but my friend try to connect but nothing .. how my friend can see?
[22:04] <Hilikus> jsn modinfo
[22:04] <nasso> guntbert, not being able to scroll is a feature? :P
[22:04] <mib_u8lmqz> I am at the Ubuntu Installation Screen in BIOS, and I had "Try Ubuntu Without Any Change To Your Computer" selected, I then hit enter and it seems to freeze and do nothing.  What have I done wrong?
[22:04] <mm1> dr_wills any terminal commands to cheecck  if these are installed?
[22:05] <dr_Willis> cyrus_mc,  i think your assumption is wrong.. that 'session' runs the .Xsession (or was it .Xclient) script to  learn what to run for the X  session.
[22:05] <jsn> thx, Hilikus, I'll try that right now.
[22:05] <matiasag> nasso: are you on a screen session? I always did that with ctrl+esc. Just make sure you don't press escape again because that takes you out from the copying mode.
[22:05] <_VIM_> mib_u8lmqz: did you check cd for errors?
[22:05] <nasso> yes im in a screen session. im have split the screen, that should matter, right?
[22:05] <dr_Willis> mm1,  lsmod to see what modules are loaded.. as for what ones need to be loaded.. i would google for 'your specific tv tuner card and linux '
[22:06] <C0de> Anyone elce think the wild fires in Aus are realy funny?
[22:06] <guntbert> nasso: not for me, anyway it works on other distros, and somewhere I read, that the ubuntus spoilt that...
[22:06] <mib_u8lmqz> _VIM_ it freezes when I hit enter on that option too
[22:06] <mm1> ok lemme check dr willis
[22:06] <_VIM_> !ot | C0de
[22:06] <C0de> is that a no?
[22:06] <_VIM_> mib_u8lmqz: hmm try to burn another disk at a slower speed maybe
[22:07] <matiasag> nasso: I'm sorry, the correct combination is  ctrl+a and then escape. This works until you press escape again, or the space bar twice.
[22:07] <Gnea> C0de: that's a "take the topic elsewhere"
[22:07] <C0de> oh i see
[22:07] <arlbee> Hi there...I have an external Windows HDD with some possible bad blocks & I want to check it.  Whenever I type the closing bracket on a template (for example, vector<int>), eclipse locks up for a good 15 seconds, then is fine afterwards.
[22:11] <C0de> But i cant fidn the diskdrive
[22:11] <C0de> :s
[22:11] <FloodBot2> C0de: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:11] <dr_Willis> mm1,  that may have more to do with your router then linux.
[22:11] <mm1> 'remote desktop like vnc
[22:11] <xjunior> Hi, I have an ubuntu desktop, after I remove a HD it doesn't start anymore with kernel panic
[22:11] <ScottG489> How do I mess around with what wm starts when gnome starts?
[22:11] <mm1> i checked it  its not router
[22:12] <dr_Willis> mm1,  'sudo iptables --list' shows all firewall rules.. if they are blank.. nothing is being blocked..
[22:12] <mm1> ok
[22:12] <nasso> ScottG489, check session in system->prefs
[22:12] <dr_Willis> !firewall
[22:12] <C0de> Whats the diference between ipchains and iptalbes
[22:12] <dr_Willis> C0de,  about the same as a henway
[22:13] <Diztract> hi i just installed ubuntu, i was told i dont need an anti-virus protection. Is this true?
[22:13] <Geek`N`Proud> C0de, IPTables is what is used on the newer kernel
[22:13] <_VIM_> true
[22:13] <Geek`N`Proud> Diztract, yes that is true
[22:13] <Diztract> sweet
[22:13] <benxx> hi
[22:13] <Diztract> tysvm
[22:13] <_VIM_> !virus | Diztract (read this to find out why)...
[22:13] <Diztract> does anyone know where i can go to learn more about linux?
[22:13] <Geek`N`Proud> Diztract, GNU/Linux viruses depend upon exploiting root processes to spread effectively
[22:13] <C0de> is a kernel like windows N
[22:13] <C0de> T
[22:13] <Diztract> like a linux for beginners or dummies
[22:13] <benxx> does anybody know to install aim
[22:13] <Geek`N`Proud> Diztract, so therefore they don't spread for long
[22:13] <alex_mayorga> !loco
[22:14] <Diztract> niceeeeeee
[22:14] <Geek`N`Proud> Diztract, stick around and you'll hear of new concepts
[22:14] <mm1> dr wills i get chain forward, input and output on typing iptables--list
[22:14] <dr_Willis> Diztract,  google has  10000's of sites. :)  linux is so documented.. its scary.. of course its a Huge topic also.
[22:14] <Geek`N`Proud> you can always research things you don't understand
[22:14] <Diztract> im loving this OS
[22:14] <dr_Willis> mm1,  yes.. its showuing theres no rules for those 'tables'
[22:14] <Diztract> actually i dont know anything about linux period! so i really need to know where to start
[22:14]  * jsn is not compeletely unhappy editing xorg.conf (if it works) instead of wacomcpl or xsetwacom
[22:15] <dr_Willis> mm1,  'blank rules output' ---> http://superstud.pastebin.com/f2ab0abcc

[22:16] <chuckc> i have no sound and don
[22:16] <chuckc> t know what to do
[22:16] <will00> why would it be taking so long to print from a pdf?
[22:16] <mm1> yes i can c the same stuff on terminal
[22:16] <dr_Willis> mm1,  you have a 'blank' empty iptables rule set then. ie: no firewall.
[22:16] <xjunior> Hi, I have an ubuntu desktop, after I remove a HD it doesn't start anymore with kernel panic
[22:17] <sprinkmeier_> Diztract, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows
[22:17] <arlbee> Hi there...I have an external Windows HDD with some possible bad blocks & I want to check it. Is there a command or an app I can use in Ubuntu Hardy to do this ?
[22:17] <mm1> dr wills i have got dib7700 tv tuner card
[22:17] <Diztract> tysvm all
[22:17] <dayo> will00: sudo aptitude install xpp
[22:17] <mm1> how do i start dr wills??
[22:17] <_VIM_> Diztract: here's a free ubuntu ebook http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/distrib/ubuntu/unleashed/
[22:18] <alex_mayorga> no one in #ubuntu-locoteam ?
[22:18] <will00> dayo, does that decrease the printing time or is that a seperate application from command line?
[22:18] <Diztract> ty VIM
[22:18] <_VIM_> np
[22:18] <mm1> is there a wiki or site u can suggest for tv tuner
[22:18] <dayo> will00: separate app
[22:19] <Rodya> usb-creator isn't detecting my usb flash drive, any ideas why?
[22:19] <_VIM_> !TV | mm1
[22:19] <will00> dayo: ok ill try that for a while
[22:19] <sprinkmeier_> arlbee, Why not check it form Windows? Linux has NTFS support, but native should be better
[22:19] <dayo> will00: works better with pdfs than the default printing app
[22:19] <will00> ok
[22:19] <Diztract> ok bbl gonna go study. so much info to intake. thanks e1! :)
[22:19] <mm1> yes it is tvtuner vim
[22:20] <_VIM_> mm1 you need to read that link
[22:20] <arlbee> I don't have a Windows machine available
[22:20] <mikeee> what file controls resolution setting that i can change
[22:20] <will00> ok i did some experimenting (yes even with xpp) and it appears that the printer will only print after it has been reset
[22:20] <detrix> need some help getting fglrx to work.  when I install the ubuntu recomended package, it boots up in low graphics mode only.  I have read lots of documentation.  I Have a Radeon 9000 All-in-Wonder
[22:20] <xjunior> Hi, I have an ubuntu desktop, after I remove a HD it doesn't start anymore with kernel panic
[22:20] <LogicFan> how do you force synaptic to update in the same way that issuing apt-get update or aptitute update does?
[22:20] <_VIM_> !tv > mm1 (here's that link again)
[22:20] <sprinkmeier_> arlbee, which filesystem is it? NTFS? FAT?
[22:21] <oliver3> I have an Asus P5QL mobo with an Intel High Definition 82801JI on-board audio controller, drivers are apparently all installed and working, but I get no audio. Anyone got any tips?
[22:21] <arlbee> NTFS
[22:21] <LogicFan> sometimes when i update repos and keys via command line and then open up synaptic, the same pkgs cannot be found
[22:21] <LogicFan> even when hitting reload
[22:21] <fidelitysystem> how i can enter to my router :S
[22:22] <johnzorn> does ubuntu use a default sound system? and if so is it possible to restart it?
[22:22] <sprinkmeier_> arlbee, I usually mount NTFS read-only (which prettymuch precludes checkdisk type stuff). Personally I'd mount it RO and slurp off the data.
[22:22] <_VIM_> fidelitysystem: that's not really an Ubuntu question, but normally its http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[22:22] <LogicFan> johnzorn, yes, ALSA or pulseaudio
[22:23] <johnzorn> LogicFan, so doing a /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart should restart alsa?
[22:23] <sprinkmeier_> arlbee, usually the data is worth more than the media. If you have doubts on the disk either ditch it or make sure you have a backup copy.
[22:23] <mib_u8lmqz> _VIM_ sorry I missed your response earlier, what speed do you recommend I burn the Image at?
[22:23] <_VIM_> mib_u8lmqz: maybe 50% slower than what you had it mib_u8lmqz
[22:23] <LogicFan> johnzorn, almost, it doesn't totally unload the modules
[22:23] <mib_u8lmqz> thank you
[22:23] <tsrk> How can I find out what program is using a USB device and causing it to be inaccessible by another program?
[22:23] <LogicFan> johnzorn, do this first: sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload
[22:23] <Family> loaded ubuntu 8.04 - ndiswrapper works. can see the wireless network, network light is on (on wireless card) but cant connect to the internet. any ideas ?
[22:23] <sprinkmeier_> johnzorn, try 'fuser /dev/dsp' sometimes an app will grab audio and not share... kill the app and sound should return
[22:24] <LogicFan> johnzorn, then do the command you said to re initalize
[22:24] <LogicFan> johnzorn, and possibly killall pulseaudio if you have it running
[22:24] <arlbee> Thanks very muchSprinkmeier
[22:24] <Dillizar> a client for virtual cd??
[22:25] <johnzorn> LogicFan, Thanks that worked!
[22:25] <LogicFan> johnzorn, np :)
[22:25] <xjunior> Hi, I have an ubuntu desktop, after I remove a HD it doesn't start anymore with kernel panic
[22:25] <kleber> boa noite galera
[22:25] <xjunior> kleber: #ubuntu-br
[22:26] <Jackalope85> Hello?
[22:27] <nasso> Jackalope85, hello :)
[22:27] <sprinkmeier_> xjunior, HW still OK? (i.e. did removing the HDD cause a static zap or something horrible). try booting off a live CD
[22:27] <kleber> alguem pode me ajudar
[22:27] <dmz> jackalope...hmm you the same as the one who DJ's in vegas?
[22:27] <_VIM_> !hi | Jackalope85
[22:27] <Family> loaded ubuntu 8.04 - ndiswrapper works. can see the wireless network, network light is on (on wireless card) but cant connect to the internet. any ideas ?
[22:27] <kleber> instalei o broffice3 e nao consigo acessar pelo menu broffice base
[22:27] <Jackalope85> I have been having a lot of trouble with wireless on my laptop.  Just installed Intrepid Ibex.  Now I cannot get my wireless card (broadcom 4306 I think) to work.  Plz help.
[22:27] <imaginativeone> what is freenas?
[22:27] <fidelitysystem> HI my friend wants to see my page but my stupid ip adress are local ...
[22:27] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_: boot from a live CD and what?
[22:28] <Jackalope85> I've been sitting here so long my back is killing me.
[22:28] <sprinkmeier_> xjunior, Just boot from it to verify that the HWis still OK. kernel panic might mean that RAM is fried or something.
[22:28] <guntbert> fidelitysystem: you will have to ask in ##networking
[22:29] <sprinkmeier_> Family, can you ping your gateway? can you resolve hostnames?
[22:29] <gablin> I'm struggling with getting wifi to work on my newly installed Samsung NC10. Anyone feel like assisting?
[22:29] <LogicFan> !wifi
 i cant ping my gateway
[22:29] <LogicFan> gablin, anything helpful in there?
[22:29] <imaginativeone> what is freenas?
[22:30] <gablin> LogicFan: Just came from there.
[22:30] <Jackalope85> The documentation hasn't helped me much.
[22:30] <nasso> fidelitysystem, check out http://portforward.com/ . you need to forward port 22 to the local ip of the computer with the ssh-server
[22:30] <Dillizar> i need a program for virtual cd! any one
[22:30] <LogicFan> imaginativeone, a special linux distro for network-attached-storage devices (NAS)
[22:30] <sprinkmeier_> Family, run 'ifconfig', 'ip route'. use pastebin for replies
[22:30] <awell> I have ebox v 0.12 installed on my server and it's working. I need an ftp service. What's the best on to use in conjunction with ebox?
[22:30] <CentHOGG> hi I've just installed XFCE on a PPC and everything is ok. The only thing is that the menus are very fast. What I mean is this. For example If I pop up the mouse-finder menu and look at what my options there are, the menu will close within 4 secs (too quick). Is there a way to set this longer or turn off the menu reset entirely? thx
[22:30] <LogicFan> gablin, do you have supported hardware or having to use something like ndiswrapper?
[22:30] <imaginativeone> LogicFan: do I need to set it up in its own box?
[22:30] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_: hummmm ok
[22:30] <LogicFan> imaginativeone, you could use virtualmachine software...
[22:30] <gablin> LogicFan: It's an Atheros 242x, I believe.
[22:31] <Family> i can see wlan0 in ifconfig with the ip address etc
[22:31] <LogicFan> but generally, a seperate machine is preferable
[22:31] <LogicFan> gablin, what card exactly?
[22:31] <gablin> LogicFan: Hold on.
[22:31] <sprinkmeier_> xjunior, sorry about vague help, but problem description isn't too speciffic. Trying to knock off the easy ones first before looking at grub config files :-)
[22:31] <Jackalope85> Someone plz help?
[22:32] <gablin> LogicFan: Atheros AR242x Wireless 802.11 b/g
[22:32] <imaginativeone> LogicFan: what I'd like to do is set up my 4 200GB hard drives in a headless box, can I do that with freenas?
[22:32] <LogicFan> gablin, i mean the manufacturer
[22:32] <stefano> hi. i've just performed an upgrade (some weeks after last one) of my 8.10 on my acer aspire one.It worked, but now when I maximize a window in gnome, the the upper part disappear. the title bar does not exist anymore, as well as the buttons for maximizing, minimizing, etc. Same thing happen with xfce. how could i solve?
[22:32] <LogicFan> imaginativeone, you can use any amount of storage with FreeNAS
[22:32] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: are you using 32bit or 64bit?.. there's a lot of tutorials for that device
[22:32] <gablin> LogicFan: I think the manufacturer of the card is Ahteros, but the computer is a Samsung.
[22:33] <imaginativeone> LogicFan: thanks very much for your help
[22:33] <LogicFan> gablin, oh, laptop
[22:33] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_: I'll take a look on memory, after you say it I remmembered that I changed the memory from slot
[22:33] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: 32-bit
[22:33] <sprinkmeier_> stefano, sounds like monitor does not support resolution, or horizontal hold is off or something....
[22:33] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: manufacturer is irrelevant, you posted the right info.
[22:33] <n8tuserf> Jackalope85 -> http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=193
[22:33] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: you have internet access other than wireless?
[22:33] <Family> sprinkmeier_>ip route = <IP_ADDRESS>/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:33] <Jackalope85> Huh?
[22:33] <sprinkmeier_> xjunior, using all the anti-static precautions? (I never do either :-)
[22:33] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: Yeah, through the cable. The only problem is that I only have one cable so I have to yank it out from this computer and insert it into the laptop... -_-
[22:34] <n8tuserf> Jackalope85 -> http://linuxfans.betaserver.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46:broadcom-guide-for-ubuntu-hardy-and-newer&catid=34:guides&Itemid=61   1st paste from wrong clipboard
[22:34] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: ok.. that really shouldn't be to big of a problem.. two more questions, are you using 8.10, and have you updated (this is a pain in the ass if you have)
[22:34] <stefano> sprinkmeier_, i can see the upper bar of the desktop environment. just the windows lose their upper frame
[22:34] <stefano> sprinkmeier_, in xfce you can see a blank space instead of the frame
[22:35] <sprinkmeier_> Family, so your wireless NIC is <IP_ADDRESS>?
[22:35] <sprinkmeier_> Family, I'm looking for the default route, something like 'default via <IP_ADDRESS> dev ath0  metric 100 '
[22:35] <Dillizar> !iso
[22:35] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu, meaning 8.10. Installed it just a few hours ago, and I run the package update on the whole system.
[22:35] <Jackalope85> I will check it out, but I have been pouring over all available documentation all day.  I barely know how to use linux, and I cannot get my wireless card to work.
[22:35] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_: hehehe, nop, but I know that the video board was taking some space from the memory board, so it may be the problem
[22:35] <dean> !md5
[22:35] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: honestly, i can never get that device to work on a system thats updated(I have it on 3 laptops)
[22:36] <dean> gablin
[22:36] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: youc an try ndiswrapper, but the easiest way is to install the backport modules, ut it never works on an updated system.
[22:36] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: By "that device" you mean the wireless card?
[22:36] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: yes
[22:36] <n8tuserf> sprinkmeier_ -> type  sudo ip a
 default via <IP_ADDRESS> dev wlan0 metric 100 (pardon me if its slow im typing from the other screen)
[22:36] <funkycat90210> when i do su - user -c 'echo $PATH", I see a different path than su - user then echo $PATH
[22:36] <funkycat90210> shouldnt they be the same?
[22:36] <dean> if it is intrepid, linux-backports-modules intrepid generic has ath5k which is atheros
[22:36] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: I've followed two tutorials, one involving some backports.
[22:36] <IndyGunFreak> dean: problem is, if he's updated, it won't work.
[22:36] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: And I've installed some ndiswrapper as well, using the Windows drivers.
[22:37] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: By now my computer should be a spaghetti mess of drivers, heh.
[22:37] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: if you had updated before you installed the backports, thats probably why it didn' twork
[22:37] <JEEBcz> Hey, has anyone gotten the latest svn of irssi to build on Ubuntu 8.10?
[22:37] <dean> ath5k drivers are included in jaunty
[22:37] <Stalker72> My router automatically assigns an IP address to Ubuntu, but not to XP (pirated). What could be the problem?
[22:37] <n8tuserf> funkycat90210 -> compare the env   command
[22:37] <Jackalope85> Is there a sure combination of drivers/etc that will run the factory wireless card in a Dell Inspiron 8500?  I'm using Intrepid, btw.
[22:37] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: Uh... Dammit.
[22:37] <ScottG489> Well when I check sessions the command that starts the window manager is gnome-wm but that doesnt tell me much. right now my main wm is compiz
[22:37] <IndyGunFreak> dean: which doesn't help much w/ intrepid
[22:37] <dean> jaunty is in alpha though
[22:37] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: when did you install?
[22:37] <kamilkalahurski> I don't have any sound on Ubuntu 8.10 although I once had
[22:37] <n8tuserf> Stalker72 -> pirates does not deserve ip addresses :P
[22:37] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: The dist? Some 2-3 hours ago.
[22:38] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: lol
[22:38] <funkycat90210> n8tuserf: will do, note that i set the path in /etc/bash_completion.d/vars which is used for suing into the user but not via the cmd, doing diff of env
[22:38] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: if it were me, i'd just reinstall... you're n ot that far into it, and reinstall, and before updating,f ollow the instructions you followed for installing the backports
[22:38] <kamilkalahurski> Could anyone help me (no sound)?
[22:38] <crdlb> ScottG489: /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager in gconf
[22:39] <n8tuserf> Stalker72 -> it should be easy though to make it work, make sure you have good cables
[22:39] <sprinkmeier_> Family, ...254 is the highest addressable IP in the subnet. It's the default default route (that's not a typo).
[22:39] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: Are there some new updates that screw up the system...?  If you have ...254 I'm wondering if your network is properly set up.
[22:39] <n8tuserf> Stalker72 -> yes, maybe you have a loose one, make sure they fit snugly
[22:40] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: no.. i'm really not sure why it causes the problem.. but if you install the backport modules first, then update, it goes fine (at least it has on all 3 fo my laptops that have that device)
[22:40] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: But Ubuntu, on the SAME PC, gets an IP address instantly..
[22:40] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: I've had an Internet connection on my XP before last week.
[22:40] <n8tuserf> Stalker72 -> perhaps you can tell us what is your network layout like, describe in details what is connected to what? what devices are there?
[22:40] <gilda> there was the minor issue with ibex64 bit and flash/ wine not sure if thats still affecting sound
[22:40] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: Hah, that's really strange. Oh well, guess I'll just have to try that. First install, then backports modules, and then update. Got it. Thanks for the help, but I think I'll try that tomorrow.
[22:41] <dean> is there a windows version of the open source dhclient
[22:41] <Family> sprinkmeier_>the network is already up and running, im just trying to connect to it. I get internet from the landlord next door and the windows machine (this that im on) works ok. sorry for any miscommunication
[22:41] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: hang on, i'll get you the instructions...
[22:41] <fidelitysystem> whats the name of the channel network :?
[22:41] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: What instructions...?
[22:41] <crdlb> fidelitysystem: freenode?
[22:41] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: http://games.dlink.com/products/?pid=643&#DGL-4500 .. that is my router
[22:41] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: oh thats right, you already have installed from the backporst, never mind
[22:41] <dean> fidelitysystem: irc.freenode.net channel #ubuntu
[22:41] <fidelitysystem> mm i dont know something ##network
[22:41] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: Got them from http://unsharptech.com/2008/10/31/atheros-wireless-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex/
[22:41] <fidelitysystem> i dont know
[22:42] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: the instructions you followed, they  mentioned disabling the restricted driver, etc
[22:42] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: One other PC is connected to the router. Internet works on it.
[22:42] <crdlb> fidelitysystem: oh, ##networking
[22:42] <n8tuserf> Stalker that dont describe your network layout.. please clarify
[22:42] <sprinkmeier_> Family, Can you compare network settings between windows and ubuntu machine? (same DNS, same router, same subnet...)
[22:42] <Family> sprinkmeier_>when i do ipconfig /all in xp i get that gateway ip so i put it in
[22:42] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: yeah, those are right, follow those instructions
[22:42] <awell> What is a good ftp server to use with my ubuntu server?
[22:42] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: Ok. A new day, a new attempt at Ubuntu! Thanks. =)
[22:43] <CentHOGG> hi I've just installed XFCE on a PPC and everything is ok. The only thing is that the menus are very fast. What I mean is this. For example If I pop up the mouse-finder menu and look at what my options there are, the menu will close within 4 secs (too quick). Is there a way to set this longer or turn off the menu reset entirely? thx
[22:43] <n8tuserf> Stalker72 -> ubuntu host attached to such router via ethernet works okay?
[22:43] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: np. like i said, as long as you do that before updating, and you're using 32bit, you shoudl be fine.. i've never had a prob w/ it
[22:43] <n8tuserf> awell -> proftpd
[22:43] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: Ubuntu's internet works OK. Not XP's internet.
[22:43] <awell> Does proftp work with ebox?
[22:43] <sprinkmeier_> Family, So ubuntu didn't auto-configure (using DHCP orr the gateway, which I assumeis how Windows did it)?
[22:43] <sprinkmeier_> s/orr/off/
[22:43] <gilda> Family~ can you ping your gateway ?
[22:43] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: The router doesn't assign XP an IP address, only Ubuntu.
[22:44] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: Let us hope so. This is my third attempt at Linux. I'm hoping this one will last.
[22:44] <Jackalope85> Was intrepid a mistake for running an older broadcom wireless card?
cant ping the gateway
[22:44] <n8tuserf> Stalker72 -> well you can check temporarily, borrow same ethernet cable from ubuntu and plug it in to the XP hosts and see if it works
[22:44] <sprinkmeier_> Stalker72, I've said that for years...
[22:44] <n8tuserf> Jackalope85 -> broadcom chips are well known to make you loose hair when using with linux..
[22:45] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: I dualboot XP and Ubuntu. I'm talking about the same PC.
[22:45] <brunner> is there an application I can use to detect a certain frequency or a modem carrier in a wave file?
[22:45] <sprinkmeier_> Family, sounds like problem is lower down, i.e. not even connecting at layer 1/2.
[22:45] <sprinkmeier_> Family, WPA? WEP? WPA2?
[22:45] <Accesshater> Can sombody help me with nvidia drivers? I have a nvidia 8600M GT, and my xorg.conf is broken. I tried to run sudo nvidia-xconfig a couple of times but it didnt help. I also tried to run xfix in recovry mode. The problem occurs if i try to install the 177 driver. I should never have tried the driverfrom the nvidia site =(.
[22:45] <Jackalope85> N8tuserf - the laptop is a Dell I8500.  I don't think I can just rip the card out.  Am I going to be stuck trying to get/use an external card?
[22:45] <CentHOGG> xfce anyone?
[22:45] <n8tuserf> Stalker72 -> you do know this is ubuntu help channel, for windows you really need to visit #windows..but, anyhow it should be just plug n play, check your xp settings
[22:46] <dean> Xp doesn't support WPA2
[22:46] <piplite> hello all
[22:46] <n8tuserf> Jackalope85 -> i gave you a link earlier..they have a solution..
[22:46] <piplite> any ideas where i can talk about mobile phones ?
[22:46] <kamilkalahurski> how to set up network connection under kubuntu ?
[22:46] <Accesshater> voor wpa in xp you could install securew2
thats where im clueless. xp has WPA-PSK whats the equivalent for ubuntu?
[22:46] <Accesshater> wpa2*
[22:46] <Jackalope85> N8tuserf - besides, the laptop is 5 years old.  BTW - I checked out the link.  They don't appear to have the solution.
[22:47] <n8tuserf> dean depends on the driver you use with your wifi... therefore all wireless is driver dependent
[22:47] <sprinkmeier_> Family, WPA PSK is "pre-shared key", that's problaby the mode you should be using.
[22:47] <n8tuserf> Jackalope85 -> you can try to use ndiswrapper
[22:47] <sprinkmeier_> Family, Ubuntu should automagically pop up a dialog asking you for the "PSK". Unless it does that there's no point going further.
[22:48] <Jackalope85> N8tuserf - I've been reading documentation like that all day.  Hasn't helped at all.  I tried using NDSwrapper, but maybe the driver I used was junk.  I'll try another one.
[22:48] <piplite> any ideas where i can talk about mobile phones ?
[22:48] <sprinkmeier_> Family, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[22:48] <n8tuserf> Jackalope85 -> broadcom chips are infamous for difficult to make work, you were not the first..
[22:48] <gmap> hello, how do I dial into a GPRS USB Modem
[22:49] <Plugh> I finally figured out how to get Ubuntu 6.06 booting reliably with my new computer. The auto notification thing is telling me that <IP_ADDRESS> is available. How safe is it for me to jump from 6.06 to 8.04.1?
i see the network its name etc at 54% its just the choice of wep hexadecimal etc that makes me clueless
[22:49] <Jackalope85> N8tuserf - I am starting to realize that.  I should have known, but I bought it 5+ years ago.
[22:49] <dean> Plugh: should be safe
[22:49] <Plugh> I can (and will) backup the 6.06 partition before attempting the update. Last time I tried it, it didn't go so well but I had to do part of it manually.
[22:49] <Plugh> dean, ok thanks.
[22:49] <sprinkmeier_> Plugh, a lot safer than staying at 6.06 :-) try a live CD first to make sure HW is supported
[22:50] <Jackalope85> N8tuserf - thanx.  I guess I'll get out of your hair.
[22:50] <n8tuserf> Jackalope85 -> the only thing i can really suggest is keep working on that ndiswrapper
[22:50] <Plugh> sprinkmeier_: I have a partition with 8.04 and it boots. Due to how I managed to do the update from 6.06 the GUI is very unstable. With 6.06 booting properly, I'm hoping things will go more smoothly this time.
[22:51] <n8tuserf> Jackalope85 -> or get an external wifi card, pcmcia perhaps
[22:51] <sprinkmeier_> Family, What happens iff you try to connect to the network? Do you get the WPA prompt?
[22:51] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_:
 ubuntu has WEP hexadecimal/WEP ascii/WPA personal/WPA2 personal
[22:51] <n8tuserf> Plugh -> may i suggest doing a fresh install instead of upgrade, many people experience issues with upgrading
[22:52] <sprinkmeier_> WEP is worthless, and you're not using it anyway. Try WPA personal, it's what Windows seeks to be using (WPA-PSK). WPA2 is better but not always supported.
[22:52] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_: http://paste.milk-it.net/1065
[22:52] <ktebit> ust for giggles, I'm going to reboot this box into Ubuntu.  Apparently there is a new version?  Jaunty Jaybird or something?
[22:53] <graingert> ktebit-> no not het
[22:53] <n8tuserf> ktebit jaunty if far too new
[22:54] <Pici> !jaunty
[22:54] <Dante123> hey all, I am on a dell inspiron 1300 and when I ran hardware drivers from livecd it detected the broadcomm 43 wireless driver-  now after I installed ubuntu- it doesn't detect it anymore and wireless is no go although it shows up under iwconfig
[22:55] <Dante123> Any suggestions?
[22:55] <sprinkmeier_> xjunior, at first glance looks like the grub config file is either missing or pointing at something that's missing. HDD's should be identified by UUID (univerally unique ID), so removing an unused HDD shouldn't matter. If you're addressing by /dev/sd??? then you might have to rewrite the grub config file.
[22:55] <Dante123> Could the driver be blacklisted??
[22:56] <imaginativeone> is this what I want to do with freenas?
[22:56] <imaginativeone> - put it on its own headless box
[22:56] <imaginativeone> - use ANOTHER box for ubuntu
[22:56] <imaginativeone> - use the ubuntu box for CD/peripherals/etc
[22:57] <imaginativeone> - use the hard drive box for storage?
[22:57] <simplex> yes
[22:57] <FarmCretin> hey all, will it damage my system if i put my HDD into my new computer? or do i have to reinstall the OS?
[22:57] <Plugh> n8tuserf: I can't do a fresh install. It wants to write to my partition table. It shouldn't need to do that. I don't want to risk it messing up my 11 partitions.
[22:57] <simplex> depends
[22:57] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> while in livecd do you recall the name of that driver? maybe you need to boot back tolivecd and see what it is and where within /lib/modules/`uname r`/  its located?
[22:57] <ScottG489> crdlb: Thanks. Sorry for the slow response im at work
[22:57] <Izinucs> FarmCretin: go for it
[22:58] <ScottG489> crdlb: The windowmanager is metacity
[22:58] <Dante123> is is broadcomm bw43fwcutter or something like that
[22:58] <ktebit> ubuntu's website still has intrepid listed
[22:58] <ktebit> where the heck is the new one
[22:58] <ScottG489> crdlb: Where does conky override it?
[22:58] <ktebit> t hasn't been any where close to 6 months
[22:58] <FarmCretin> Izinucs:  does that mean you know it wont hurt, or go for it an see what happens?
[22:58] <simplex> farmcretin: yeah. It shouldnt hurt the os but, it probably wont work
[22:58] <sprinkmeier_> FarmCretin, BACKUP!!
[22:58] <simplex> farmcretin: Live dangerously! Dont backup
[22:58] <n8tuserf> Plugh -> depends on how you are doing the install, you have a choice to manually select the destination partition for install
[22:58] <imaginativeone> ktebit: why would ubuntu's web site have intrepid listed?
[22:58] <ktebit> ubuntu's website still has intrepid listed
[22:59] <crdlb> ScottG489: conky doesn't override anything
[22:59] <ktebit> because its the case?
[22:59] <imaginativeone> ktebit: why wouldn't ubuntu's web site have intrepid listed?
[22:59] <Dante123> n8tuserf s is broadcomm bw43fwcutter or something like that
[22:59] <ktebit> where the heck is the new one
[22:59] <ktebit> ?
[22:59] <FarmCretin> its all backed up. im not worried about losing the data, its that my build doesnt have integrated or card graphics and i dont want to buy a new one for a server....
[22:59] <simplex> Do games played in wine have lower performance?
[22:59] <Plugh> n8tuserf: I do manual partitioning, tell it what to use for root and boot and it still always says at the end that it will be updating the partition table. Even though I just told it to use existing partitions.
[22:59] <Dante123> n8tuserf could it be blacklisted
[22:59] <savvas> FarmCretin: I would try and run it, the only problem I can think of when I upgraded from amd K7 32-bit motherboard to intel 64-bit dual core was a problem with the nvidia graphics driver, which was fixed with an upgrade of the package :)
[23:00] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> now see if that exist on the new install you have
[23:00] <ktebit> so?
[23:00] <ktebit> where the heck is the new one?
[23:00] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_: how can I do it? booting on a livecd and...?
[23:00] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> it can be not even be installed or loaded
[23:00] <ben34> I am looking to change to wireless N which is the cheapest support solution, (I am in the UK)
[23:00] <person> simplex: Than the same game played in Windows or than an equivalent game in Linux?
[23:00] <elmaschulo> hellow, guys is anybody following the DreamLinux countdown?
[23:00] <person> simplex: I have no idea by the way
[23:00] <savvas> FarmCretin: a backup is a good idea however, if you have sensitive data
[23:00] <lion_> can anyone suggest me what should I do to stop blinking screen while video output
[23:00] <Plugh> DreamLinux countdown? Never heard of it.
[23:00] <simplex> person: the same game obviously
[23:01] <lepassive2> Hi i've  HP laserjet 6p and I 'm trying to get it working ??
[23:01] <ktebit> ubuntu's website still has intrepid listed?
[23:01] <ktebit> where the heck is the new one????
[23:01] <sprinkmeier_> xjunior, ... mount the local drives, look at the files (this is darn difficult to do remotely like this :-(
[23:01] <meho_r> what new, ktebit?
[23:01] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_: that's ok, I'll take a look
[23:01] <elmaschulo> www.dreamlinux.com.br
[23:01] <Dante123> n8tuserf there is a broadcom folder under /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic/include/config
[23:01] <amaurea> should the mesa packages be installed if one uses the nvidia driver?
[23:02] <Dante123> n8tuserf you think I need to modprobe???
[23:02] <Plugh> Yet another Linux distro
[23:02] <lion_> no, I'm using ati
[23:02] <meho_r> elmaschulo: oh, new dreamlinux. Nice:) Thanks
[23:02] <Laeborg> restart alsa = sudo alsa reload ?
[23:03] <ben34> Any suggestions for any solution for wireless N on ubuntu
[23:03] <navetz_> where can i find an ip nuker?
[23:03] <sprinkmeier_> xjunior, can you drag the PC to a local LUG? you should be able to find someone there who can help.
[23:03] <graingert> ben34-> it just works
[23:03] <amaurea> navetz_: what would that be?
[23:03] <Plugh> If I can free up one of my Ubuntu partitions, I may give DreamLinux a try out of curiousity
[23:03] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_: LUG?
[23:03] <navetz_> amaurea: send massive amounts of packets to some up
[23:03] <ben34> graingert: do you have a wireless n card, if so which one
[23:04] <sprinkmeier_> xjunior, Linux User Group
[23:04] <amaurea> navetz_: ping could do that, I guess
[23:04] <meho_r> it's live cd, Plugh ;)
[23:04] <Plugh> gotta reboot to back up some partitions before attempting to go from 6.06 to 8.04 again.
[23:04] <fidelitysystem_> mm somebody help me my friend wants to see my page but configure the port 80 etc. but nothing :???
[23:04] <graingert> ben34-> the intel one iwl
[23:04] <hanasaki> what causes packages to be "kept back" when doing an safe-upgrade?
[23:04] <Plugh> meho_r, True. I can always go that route to check it out.
[23:04] <Dante123> n8tuserf any suggestions???
[23:04] <meho_r> I tried v.3 and liked it:)
[23:04] <Plugh> bbl
[23:05] <lion_> overlay blinks.. is it normal?
[23:05] <satch5150> hi all, Im back again :)
[23:05] <n8tuserf> Plugh -> you're referring to the grub writing to mbr, you dont have to install grub if you want to use the existing one
[23:05] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> look in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/
[23:05] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> or look in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/
[23:06] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> i lost my link..what was the question?
[23:06] <Plugh> n8tuserf: I told it not to install grub. It still wants to update the partition table.
[23:06] <mcphail> hanasaki: they are kept back if they need to pull in new packages with the upgrade
[23:07] <Frenchie> I have automatic updates turned on both for download and install is there a way to see the recent updates that have been installed on my system?
[23:07] <n8tuserf> Plugh -> i dont know, definitely your /etc/fstab have to be updated
[23:07] <satch5150> upgraded from 7.04 -> 7.10 finally, then started to upgrade to 8.04 - everything was going great until half thru the installation of the new packages, got some erros abotu apparmor, mysqld wouldn't restart, then it said upgrades couldn't be installed
[23:07] <Dante123> n8tuserf there is a broadcom folder under /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic/include/config
[23:07] <SuperMoopies> How do you install lm-sensors ?
[23:07] <SuperMoopies> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2780
[23:07] <SuperMoopies> is no help
[23:07] <Plugh> n8tuserf: my /etc/fstab is already correct.
[23:07] <satch5150> no the question is
[23:07] <satch5150> what didn't get upgraded
[23:08] <satch5150> and how bad will it be when the system restarts as is :)
[23:08] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> you are looking at the source directory, not whats in your current modules path
[23:08] <Plugh> oh, well. dinner is ready. backups and update attempt will have to wait.
[23:08] <Droopsta915> How do I overwrite a dvd rw, or what program can I use to do so?
[23:08] <satch5150> I ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and it only upgraded one package
[23:09] <satch5150> so, what do I do now ? :)
[23:09] <dustin> how can i open/run a .run file with synaptic package manager to install/run it?
[23:09] <Dante123> n8tuserf i do not see it in either place you mentioned
[23:10] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> then it is not even loaded at boot then..
[23:10] <satch5150> anyone ?
[23:10] <mcphail> dustin: ".run" files will not be handled by the package manager
[23:10] <dustin> heh, trying to google problems and thats the only lead i got.. how can i run it? D:
[23:11] <mcphail> dustin: first, do you trust it?
[23:11] <dustin> yea
[23:11] <Dante123> n8tuserf well, I try going back into restricted drivers and it says there are none on my system (so there is no place to enable the broadcom driver) however under livecd it did detect it
[23:11] <mcphail> dustin: it will probably be a shell script. Open a terminal and type "chmod +x file.run"
[23:11]  * satch5150 is desperate and will consider any suggestions, no matter how insane
[23:12] <mcphail> dustin: then run it with "./file.run"
[23:12] <npodges> where is Trash:/// actually located?
[23:12] <Dante123> n8tuserf maybe I will try reinstalling....
[23:12] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> to enable the modules, it needs to be in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/
[23:12] <n8tuserf> so copy it over
[23:12] <sprinkmeier_> npodges, .Trash
[23:13] <jjlee> satch5150: what are you trying to do?
[23:13] <ubuntu_> when i install ubuntu, how can i install grub to a seperate 50 mb partition?
[23:13] <npodges> on 9.04 alpha? because .Trash doesnt exist.
[23:13] <mcphail> dustin: if it complain about needing root priveleges, use "sudo ./file.run"
[23:13] <satch5150> upgrade from 7.10 server -> 8.04
[23:13] <satch5150> went well until I got installation errors with apparomor and mysqld
[23:13] <dustin> mcphail: its running now, ty :)
[23:14] <satch5150> then it said upgrades couldn't be installed
[23:14] <satch5150> and halted
[23:14] <mcphail> dustin: np
[23:14] <crdlb> npodges: at some point it moved to ~/.local/share/Trash
[23:14] <satch5150> was using do-upgrade-release btw
[23:14] <dustin> < newb to linux, learning :)
[23:14] <npodges> thanks!
[23:15]  * satch5150 even tried killing himself, but the gun jammed :(
[23:15] <mcphail> dustin: these ".run" files are non-standard. Try to stick to the repos as much as possible
[23:15] <ScottG489> crdlb: So then if gnome is setting metacity as the wm how is conky running on boot?
[23:15] <littlewookie> hey, i've got a bluetooth headset, and i added it to the asoundrc, it works with skype if i set the profile, but how can i chose this profile with other programms that don't accept these settings, can i set the whole output to the headset?
[23:15] <crdlb> ScottG489: conky is not a window manager?
[23:15] <ScottG489> crdlb: I thought it was. What is it then?
[23:16] <ScottG489> crdlb: sry ive been meaning to say compiz*
[23:16] <dustin> alright
[23:16] <ScottG489> :(
[23:16] <littlewookie> crdlb: conky is a screen monitor for various informations
[23:16] <crdlb> ScottG489: a little system monitor window
[23:16] <jjlee> satch5150: could try uninstalling all multiverse packages then running apt-get dist-upgrade
[23:16] <ScottG489> im working with both right now lol. so if i never say conky i meant compiz
[23:16] <jjlee> satch5150: since you asked for random suggestions.  Don't assume I know what I'm talking about, though :-)
[23:16] <sprinkmeier_> ubuntu_, choose 'manually setup partitions" and create a "/boot" partition. Use more than 100MB, the partition has to hold all the Linux kernels and disk space  is cheap.
[23:17] <satch5150> lol
[23:17] <satch5150> my next question, how would I do that ? :)
[23:17] <crdlb> ScottG489: if compiz is starting, there must be some autostart entry doing it
[23:18] <ScottG489> crdlb: Yea. I think I need to stop metacity from starting and then start compiz. and then tell all my programs that run on start to wait like 10-15 secs to wait for compiz and then start
[23:18] <ubuntu_> sprinkmeier_: is it fine if i just used 100 mb for /boot partition
[23:18] <ScottG489> crdlb: compiz handels their placement and they get placed weird on startup probably because compiz hasnt started yet
[23:18] <greatbitbucket> Hello everyone!
[23:19] <crdlb> ScottG489: as a workaround, you can just make them sleep beforehand, I guess
[23:19] <jjlee> satch5150: somewhere I have a script to list & maybe uninstall / install packages...
[23:19] <satch5150> let me go about this from a different direction, the storage drives on this server are striped together in a software raid array - if I were to wipe the drive with the os on it, could I preserve the data on the raid array (i.e. wouldn't have to rebuild the array) ? and if so, how ?
[23:20] <Louis> How can I get Ubuntu to run a full check of each filesystem at startup?
[23:21] <ubuntu_> Louis: add entries to /etc/fstab
[23:21] <satch5150> that way I could just do a full installation of intrepid and be done with it
[23:21] <ubuntu_> i think
[23:21] <Louis> ubuntu_:  which entries do i add?
[23:21] <sprinkmeier_> ubuntu_, should be fine unless you go on a kernel shopping spree :-) my point is that at less than1c/MB you might as well be generous
[23:21] <ubuntu_> erm, find a guide how to edit /etc/fstab
[23:22] <ubuntu_> sprinkmeier_: i just redid my partitions again and just gave it 300 mb
[23:22] <ubuntu_> better safe than sorry :)
[23:22] <sprinkmeier_> Louis, 'sudo touch /forcefsck ; sudo reboot' USUAL WARNING ABOUYT RUNNING COMMANDS OFF THE 'net WITH SUDO IN THEM!!!

[23:22] <Louis> oskar-  every time
[23:22] <Louis> sprinkmeier_ :  i add that line to fstab?
[23:22] <Louis> or is that a command?
[23:23] <g[r]eek> Hi all. I cannot hear any sound on youtube videos (mp3's and downloaded movies work just fine though; it's only youtube videos). Using firefox 3 and Ubuntu. It works on my other PC though, same setup.
[23:23] <sprinkmeier_> Louis, it's a command. /forcefsck is a flag file checked in ec.local, it forces a checkdisk on boot.
[23:23] <Louis> sprinkmeier_:  Okay thanks.  And it makes the change permanent, right?
[23:24] <ubuntu_> thanks sprinkmeier_
[23:24] <sprinkmeier_> Louis, No. /forcefsck is removed when boot finishes. You could add the 'touch' line to /etc/rc.local.   Why check every time?
[23:24] <ubuntu_> i'm redoing all my partitions to be more organized as in seperate boot loader, seperate home folder, etc.
[23:24] <fidelitysystem_> how can i install pico ??
[23:25] <Louis> sprinkmeier_:  it's a server with an average uptime of a few weeks, so i figured it wouldn't hurt
[23:25] <usser> fidelitysystem_, pico is proprietary use nano
[23:25] <oskar-> Louis, shutdown -F   may be also interesting, if you also work with other distributions
[23:25] <usser> fidelitysystem_, and it should be included by default
[23:25] <sprinkmeier_> Louis, Fair enough..... I thought it might be dodgy HW, in which case I'd recommend getting new disks and saving yourself the hearache.
[23:26] <Guitarbandit90> Huh, this is my first time using Ubuntu. Pretty retro. :D
[23:26] <Guitarbandit90> I like it.
[23:26] <jjlee> satch5150: what devices have you striped?  whole disks?
[23:26] <Louis> sprinkmeier_:  haha yeah i had an I/0 disaster a while ago... I'm all about buying new hardware when the old stuff flakes now...
[23:26] <Guitarbandit90> Heh.
[23:27] <Guitarbandit90> Any good games for Ubuntu?
[23:27] <graingert> Guitarbandit90-> try emulators
[23:28] <oskar-> !games > Guitarbandit90
[23:28] <Guest88690> Guitarbandit90: yeah...its called install and reinstall and reinstall again ... :)
[23:28] <LogicFan> Guitarbandit90, also, seach google for "top linux games"
[23:28] <LogicFan> there's a bunch
[23:28] <Guitarbandit90> Alright, thanks. :D
[23:28] <Louis> sprinkmeier_:  so just to be clear.  if I add "touch /forcefsck" to /etc/rc.local it will run fsck at every boot?
[23:28] <LogicFan> !games > LogicFan
[23:28] <mikeshollen> Would someone please help me with my wireless card?  I reformatted my computer and tried to install it the same way but for some reason the driver isn't installing properly. I'm running ubuntu hardy 8.04 with a broadcom rtl8185 wifi card.  Here's what happened when I tried to install the card http://pastebin.com/me34d816
[23:28] <Guest88690> anyone using VM like with qemu, kvm, or virtualbox on 8.10?
[23:29] <LogicFan> i use virtualbox
[23:29] <graingert> Guest88690-> virtualbox-cse works well
[23:29]  * MellowDude slaps _adele_ around a bit with a big slimy trout.
[23:30] <Guest88690> how did you get it...all I can see in synaptic is OSE, no gui....if i get the .deb file from sun....crashes my kernel
[23:30] <Guest88690> but on the upside the gui works
[23:30] <graingert> Guest88690-> you need to get the repo
[23:30] <graingert> Guest88690-> from sun
[23:30] <ScottG489> crdlb: Yea, I don't really get how ubuntu's "sessions" autostarts things though
[23:30] <fidelitysystem_> excuse im install apache but where i can put my files of my page ?
[23:32] <Louis> I read somewhere that changing the last "1" at the end of a partition's line in fstab will make ubuntu run fsck at boot... is this right?
[23:32] <Guest88690> graingert: is there a handy dandy howto on that one?
[23:32] <graingert> Guest88690-> on suns weby stie
[23:32] <imemine> just bought a GA-EP45T-DS3R (review at phoronix a couple of months ago... http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=gigabyte_p45_mobos&num=1 ) and now I'm trying to install intrepid on it... only I can't... the cd won't boot (works on another computer, so nothing wrong with the cd)... has any one had any trouble booting from a ide drive on a similar mb?
[23:33] <graingert> Guest88690-> http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[23:33] <Guest88690> graingert: you mean this?  Debian-based Linux distributions: Add one of the following lines according to your distribution to your /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:34] <graingert> Guest88690-> yeah
[23:34] <orci> hi all, I have 8.04 on a desktop, if I edit the sources.list and replace hardy with intrepid, and do a apt-get dist-upgrade, would that work?
[23:34] <Guest88690> k..thanks....I had to reinstall ubuntu again...LOL
[23:34] <Guest88690> its almost ready now
[23:34] <Janos> having a problem with pulseaudio, hav two sound cards, on board intel and an audigy 2, while using pulseaudio everything works great with the intel card but i get no sound on my audigy, if i use alsa everything works with both cards, anyone have any idea why this could be ?
[23:34] <graingert> Guest88690-> Note: Ubuntu users might want to install the dkms package (not available on Debian) to ensure that the VirtualBox host kernel modules (vboxdrv and vboxnetflt) are properly updated if the linux kernel version changes during the next apt-get upgrade.
[23:35] <Guest88690> gotcha
[23:35] <Guest88690> I still have to do the first system updates before I try it
[23:35] <Guest88690> but we are almost there
[23:35] <awell> Frustrated. How do I ftp into my webserver so I can add pages to my website?
[23:35] <Guest88690> again!!11
[23:35] <Charliehorse> i am having a problem. Full deatails here. What should I do? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1083161
[23:37] <Guest88690> graingert:  any ideas why when I do a sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade it never finds the kernel updates...I have to go through the update manager for those...np...just weird

[23:39] <Chewy> hi all
[23:40] <Chewy> quick question...I am about to do my 50th install of ubuntu (dont ask), and I dont have access to an ethernet cable this time around to get my atheros card working after running the good old: "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic"
[23:40] <graingert> Chewy-> apt on cd?
[23:41] <Chewy> I am wondering if I can run it any other way? I was told it would run right off the cd but I cant get sudo apt-get to recognise it
[23:41] <lucax> any one has any idea how to make global menu work with firefox and openoffice?
[23:41] <Tuxprobe> hay allz
[23:41] <Chewy> graingert, I think that sounds right but im not sure how to do it. I found the package and tried to run it but it has other dependencies and wouldnt let me proceed by doing it through the GUI
[23:42] <graingert> Chewy-> ok
[23:42] <Charliehorse> i have a weird problem when using a mounted HFS+ drive. Any file i can copy to desktop, will then open, but If I try to open it directly from the drive it will crash the program trying to open the file
[23:42] <Tuxprobe> my little server-box has troubles putting discs on ice so id like to place '/var' in memory as squashfs un-/-squashed on initlvl's
[23:42] <Tuxprobe> but apt-get stores all its files in /var/cache/apt - any ways to reconfigure aptitude perhaps?
[23:43] <zash> Tuxprobe: tmpfs?
[23:43] <zash> Tuxprobe: and /var/cache/apt could be a symlink to somewhere else
[23:43] <Tuxprobe> zash what, as environment var?
[23:43] <satch5150> jjlee: sorry, was afk, yes, I've striped 2 whole 250 GB disks
[23:43] <zash> Tuxprobe: no mount -t tmpfs
[23:43] <zash> Tuxprobe: tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,noatime,size=512m)
[23:44] <Chewy> could you tell me exactly what I would need to do? what i have done in the past is used the cd as a source in the GUI... then gone to terminal and "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get install ... etc"   but that returns an error
[23:44] <oskar-> Charliehorse, you can run the program from console with "strace" in front (you first have to install it). that might get you nearer to the cause of the error
[23:44] <Tuxprobe> zash ah well ok, was going for ramfs in stead - but i think its about the same
[23:44] <miso> hi, i have last kernel from git build with make-kpkg , and want to build lirc modules (on intrepid) from lirc-modules-source with dkms, but i have a problem with running dkml build ..., any advice for me  ?
[23:45] <Dillizar> what is the command line to run root
[23:45] <Tuxprobe> zash going to create a ramdrive in initial runlevel and un-squash the previous image of '/var'
[23:45] <Chewy> Dillizar, "sudo"
[23:45] <zykes-> anyone here know if nfs has some "max clients" limit or so on version 2 ?
[23:45] <temperature> I updated from 8.04TLS to 8.10 and the "sensors"  command shows 10° higher temperatures. Why is that?
[23:45] <Tuxprobe> but my problem lies in 200+MB of apt-get data
[23:45] <Guest88690> I hate our new Dell laptops
[23:46] <zash> Tuxprobe: cool
[23:46] <Dillizar> Chewy, it was smt like sudo x
[23:46] <jjlee> satch5150: sounds unlikely, but I don't know
[23:46] <Chewy> :)
[23:46] <Tuxprobe> zash with squash i dump it on every shutdown/halt and save my old logs etc
[23:46] <Guest88690> they are so flaky...the post is either instantaneous or it takes like 2 minutes...nothing in between....stupid Dell laptop E6500
[23:46] <satch5150> kinda screwed then huh ? :-)
[23:47] <Chewy> so can anyone tell me how I can set up apt-get to install the backports package from the cd so I dont have to connect ethernet to get my wireless working?
[23:47] <cs_student> Whats a good html editor for linux with syntax highlighting, auto-indenting, etc.?
[23:47] <Guest88690> emacs or vi
[23:47] <Guest88690> vim...sorry
[23:48] <Charliehorse> how do i run totem from command line?
[23:48] <Dillizar> what is the command line to run as root
[23:48] <Tuxprobe> zash guess i _could_ symlink the apt folder but imo there should be a configuration directive .o.O
[23:48] <Charliehorse> Dillizar: sudo
[23:48] <Chewy> Charliehorse, just type "totem" if you dont want any particular movie playing
[23:49] <Dillizar> Charliehorse, you dont understand i want to delete smt and i must be in as root
[23:49] <Charliehorse> i got this error:http://www.mibbit.com/pb/puFkV8
[23:49] <Chewy> so   last call to help me out? noone can tell me how to get apt-get to update the backports package from the cd after an install?
[23:50] <lun4tic> hi
[23:50] <Chewy> Dillizar: go to terminal, type "sudo rm /*path" where *path is the actual path of what you want to delete
[23:50] <wad> Setting up my first Ubuntu box, but I've got a question: The taskbar is only showing apps running on the current side of the desktop cube. I need to be able to ALT-TAB through all of them, whatever desktop they are on. Is this possible?
[23:50] <Chewy> but before you do that, if you dont know waht your doing or using an option, use ls first to show you what files will be deleted next
[23:51] <lun4tic> anyone familiar with tomcat6 and eclipse (ganymede) under ubuntu(intrepid)?
[23:52] <Charliehorse> i got this error while trying to play a song file in totem off of an HFS+ mounted drive
[23:52] <Charliehorse> i got this error:http://www.mibbit.com/pb/puFkV8
[23:52] <sapage> how can you force apt-get to upgrade amarok to a newer version?
[23:52] <zash> sapage: apt-gte upgrade ?
[23:53] <lun4tic> eclipse seems to need allof tomcat in a single directory. otherwise it complains about missing files. is there any way i can "tell" eclipse that tomcat6 is in the ubuntu directory structure or do i have to symlink all of the directorys in one single install directory?
[23:53] <sapage> zash: i want a new version than in apt-get
[23:54] <zash> sapage: you cant (with apt-get) install a version that is not in repos
[23:54] <Tuxprobe> hang on, got it :) (/usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz
[23:54] <zash> unless you add a repo, install from source or some package
[23:55] <sapage> zash: ok thanks
[23:56] <ookz> Can anyone suggest a book for me to learn Linux/Unix Terminal?
[23:57] <Guest55893> the linux users guide

[23:58] <fiantres> quick question: does xen server REQUIRE a processor with hardware-based virtualization support?
