[14:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ip-tables - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:02] <`LePGeL[BoY]> !iptables
[14:02] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[14:02] <bendable> Hi guys.  I have a question about hard drives.  I am trying to create an image of a hard drive by "dd if=/dev/hda of=/mount/point/file", but when I restore it the machine won't boot.  (The images I am creating are of various flavors of windoze, btw.)  I thought dd would do it for me, is there anything I'm doing wrong?
[14:02] <kbrooks> `LePGeL[BoY], use /msg ubotu <command without the !>
[14:02] <magic_ninja> onats: try adding auto to your /etc/fstab file on your sda5 entry, like in the corrected pastebin
[14:02] <bazhang> `LePGeL[BoY]: you can message the bot you know?
[14:02] <dreaper> wols: wait pleas
[14:02] <kbrooks> `LePGeL[BoY], for example, /msg ubotu iptables
[14:03] <magic_ninja> onats: http://pastebin.ca/808329
[14:03] <`LePGeL[BoY]> kbrooks: you a bot to?
[14:03] <dreaper> wols: im a new one
[14:03] <King1> what's a fast an easy way to install and test linux on a windows system?
[14:03] <kbrooks> `LePGeL[BoY], not /msg ubotu !iptables
[14:03] <kbrooks> `LePGeL[BoY], i'm not a bot!
[14:03] <kbrooks> `LePGeL[BoY], i'm a helper!
[14:03] <wols> King1: testing what with that linux?

[14:04] <King1> i want to install ubuntu like VMware style... on windows so i can test it first
[14:04] <onats> magic_ninja, ok will try that out.. was just wondering coz before the 7.10 upgrade it was fine... thanks for your help!
[14:04] <brobostigon> i think he wants to run linux inside of windoews.
[14:04] <bendable> King1, I just boot the CD and check to see if the hardware is visible.  Also, a USB drive to save the output of lspci and lsusb are handy for looking up driver support later.
[14:04] <wols> King1: test what exactly? cause compiz won't work there for example
[14:04] <jrib> King1: then install vmware and install ubuntu in it
[14:05] <King1> because last try my internet didn't work so i couldn't get anything from the web
[14:05] <EdgEy> how can i stop apps using my sound card, i have a usb headset i want them to use instead
[14:05] <erUSUL> King1: try the livecd first.
[14:05] <dreaper> wols: can i send it to channel or we can talk on prove?!?
[14:06] <dreaper> prive
[14:06] <wols> King1: since vmware has totally different hardware for its clients than your machine, it won't be helpful to determine if ubuntu can access the internet when installerd properly

[14:06] <phyz> EdgEy, double click the icon in the task bar, the file -> change device?
[14:07] <King1> i tried the livecd i meant, and my internet connection consist of a usbkey WIFI..
[14:07] <EdgEy> which icon?
[14:07] <phyz> EdgEy, the sound one, a speaker generally
[14:07] <wols> King1: what chip on theat usb dongle?
[14:07] <EdgEy> ah, yeah
[14:07] <EdgEy> i've done that
[14:07] <King1> euhh it's an SMC one
[14:07] <King1> what do you mean by chip
[14:07] <wols> the chip inside the usbkey
[14:07] <King1> 802.11g 108mps

[14:09] <dreaper> wols http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47220/
[14:09] <bendable> If you're feeling adventurous, you can use a live gparted CD to shrink your windows partition, then create a linux partition to install your test linux OS on.  If you don't like what you get, you can always use gparted to delete the linux partition and expand your windows partition back to what it once was.
[14:10] <wols> King1: there is a wlan chip inside that usbkey. we need to know what chip this is exactly. its name and type
[14:10] <wols> (lastlog dreaper
[14:10] <m1r> king, insert wlan usb key and type in terminal : lsusb , that will give u information about your wlan adapter chipset
[14:10] <brobostigon> king1: open a prog called terminal, and type into thw prompt lsusb, and then press enter, that will show you usb wifi,

[14:29] <CODEMUTANT> NO. i don mind that option too. but more importantly i want to load linux installed in my hard disk without installin grub on my hard disk mbr. ie. through cd.
[14:29] <bazhang> King1: not for todays purposes
[14:29] <brobostigon> bonkers-matt: use mkfs.look up the man page.
[14:30] <CODEMUTANT> i mean without installin grub on my hard disk mbr.

[14:31] <brobostigon> look up mkfs man page, and then use mkfs with the /dev/** oof your usb drive.
[14:31] <Roman123> Hello, I'm not sure that my problem is directly related to compiz or ubuntu but an ubuntu expert might know how to deal with it. Yesterday, I installed Ubuntu 7.10 on a Mac Mini. Everthing works fine (also Compiz) but when I'm trying to maximize a window by pressing the maximize button, it does not maximize in vertical direction (only 2/3 of the possibe size). It looks like this one http://www.beigelbeck.net/maximize-problem.png
[14:32] <Roman123> It must have something to do with a window manager setting because the maximize from the task list applied to the window works.
[14:32] <CODEMUTANT> i have a laptop. so no floppy drive:-(

[14:34] <bazhang> Roman123: have you checked the ubuntuforums? if you don't get an answer here, they may have something
[14:34] <Roman123> I've tried to google for the problem.
[14:34] <bonkers-matt> bazhang, i'm not sure i understand the question. i just plugged the disk in and then openned up gparted, gparted didnt list it but fdisk -l did. now i want to format the drive as FAT32
[14:34] <Roman123> But I'm not sure if I used the right keywords.
[14:35] <rgnr> i need to instal rtorrent
[14:35] <Roman123> I did not find anything
[14:35] <rgnr> where does it install it's files?
[14:35] <Roman123> btw, anyone here who installed openvz on ubuntu 7.10?
[14:35] <bazhang> bonkers-matt: you're running gutsy right? was the computer already running when you plugged in the drive (hotplug) or did you start up the computer with the drive attached
[14:35] <jrib> rgnr: dpkg -L rtorrent   will tell you, but why do you need to know?
[14:35] <rgnr> jrib: got an error  Could not read resource file: ~/.rtorrent.rc

[14:36] <bazhang> bonkers-matt: not sure what new drives are formatted in these days--could it be ntfs?
[14:37] <Oli``> I know the related security risks but how do I change the passwd policy to allow short even blank passwords?

[14:43] <bonkers-matt> brobostigon, i want FAT32
[14:43] <rgnr> jrib: ok got it from repos

[14:43] <bonkers-matt> brobostigon, is it -t vfat or -t fat32?
[14:44] <brobostigon> vfat

[14:45] <jrib> rgnr: like I said, that is not an error.  It is just telling you it did not find one.  You don't *need* to create one.  You just put custom settings you want in ~/.rtorrent.rc if you want so that everytime you start rtorrent, it will read the file and load your settings
[14:45] <auskadi> yep this is the problem - i think it is badly compiled maybe

[14:51] <erUSUL> yomm: man amixer
[14:51] <bonkers-matt> brobostigon, thanks. i suspect there might be an NTFS partition there (i just googled this :http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/how-to-format-a-new-external-drive-544174/)
[14:51] <^root^> can anybody please help me with: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=634062
[14:51] <cannonball> I can use update-rc.d to add and remove services (symlinks) from startup sequence.  Is there a way to view current configuration (ala chkconfig --list on RH/Cent/Mdv) aside from just listing the rcX.d directory?

[14:52] <brobostigon> sorry bonkers-matt that i couldnt help anyfurther.

[14:54] <ubotu> bTz: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3

[14:54] <bTz> it only works in one program at the time, if i have rythmebox open, i get no sound in vlc and vice versa
[14:54] <GarethAdams> I'm trying to work out why the following line is producing "??" rather than the expected "ee" (or maybe "'e`e")

[14:57] <BFC> sorry gordonjcp but it seems that the resize2fs is not what i was looking for i want to have my home directory which is stored at the local harddisk connected or merged with the available storage which is located in the usb harddrive
[14:57] <^root^> cannonball, that didn't help either
[14:58] <carnelain> my internal mic and front input bus don't seem to work (gutsy acer laptop)
[14:58] <BFC> so what i want to do is when the usb harddrive is connect and i store something in my home directory it should be stored at the usb harddrive
[14:59] <selvy> hay
[14:59] <BFC> it would be also the same if i could locate the whole home directory on the usb harddrive
[14:59] <usuario_base> i am using a live-cd session, and i installed the nvidia 3d drivers it says now that i have to restart... how do i do that in the same live-cd session?
[14:59] <selvy> good morning
[14:59] <Titanous> Can anyone help me??
[15:01] <erUSUL> BFC: search google for ubuntu home own partition
[15:01] <cannonball> ^root^: None of those options worked?  "alsa" or "oss" or "arts" or "esd" are common ones.  The first two access sound modules directly.  The second two connect to two common sound daemons (that interface to the modules directly).  Which you need to use depends on how your system is configured.
[15:01] <erUSUL> BFC: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome  http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/
[15:02] <Titanous> I just booted the 7.10 Live CD on a Toshiba laptop, and all the window decorations are like this: http://img265.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotce1.png What should I do?
[15:02] <^root^> cannonball, can you please provide a link so that may save your time as well as mine, you see i am a noob and i dont want to bug you for something that can be read..
[15:03] <erUSUL> usuario_base: you can't
[15:03] <cannonball> ^root^: I don't have a link.  Another person here did send you a link on alsa, which is going to be a good one to read.
[15:03] <^root^> cannonball, okay, thanks, let me read that...
[15:03] <cannonball> ^root^: when you run mplayer, it will tell you what it's trying to use.  Here's what mine shows:
[15:03] <cannonball> AO: [alsa] 48000Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)
[15:04] <cannonball> So it's using the alsa audio output device.  Alsa stands for Advanced Linux Sound Architecture.  It's just a kernel module that loads and presents a unified sound interface for programs to use (and share) the sound hardware.
[15:04] <cannonball> ^root^: read that url and hopefully some of this will start to sink in and make sense.  Good luck!
[15:04] <BFC> thank you erUSUL
[15:05] <Titanous> I just booted the 7.10 Live CD on a Toshiba laptop, and all the window decorations are like this: http://img265.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotce1.png What should I do?
[15:06] <usuario_base> in ubuntu 7.04 i could use the restricted nvidia drivers (i use a nvidia graphic card) and then i could restart GDM in the live cd session, how do i do that in 7.10? or to put it bluntly what is the process?
[15:07] <adac> is there a good tutorial for init-ng for gutsy?
[15:07] <erUSUL> !upstart
[15:07] <ubotu> Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.   Channel emergency!  What is the best mail server? what u suggest to me?

[15:52] <Dietus> Can someone help me with my Wine intallation?
[15:52] <erUSUL> anto: if you create a mount point for it under /media/ it will show up on the desktop
[15:53] <jrib> puargs: oh erUSUL got you, never mind
[15:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Dietus: have you installed wine using synaptic or apt-get yet
[15:53] <puargs> jrib: think i got it.. i just want to clear up my RAM of all uneccessary programs while i'm not physically at the box, yeah
[15:53] <anto> erUSUL: i got a folder on it that i want to be loaded as the Desktop folder for my user :/
[15:54] <anto> erUSUL: not just mount it to media everytime
[15:54] <erUSUL> anto: you have to add it to /etc/fstab so it mount automatically on each boot
[15:54] <erUSUL> anto: make ~/Desktop be a symbolic link to the folder you want
[15:54] <anto> erUSUL: aah i understand now :P
[15:54] <erUSUL> anto: man ln
[15:55] <eses> so no one know?

[15:57] <__boomer> hello, i'm trying to install ubuntu on a usb-hdd, but it's not working. has anyone here some experience with this?
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> __boomer: pendrivelinux.com is how I got mine working
[15:58] <__boomer> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, i'll take a look on that
[15:58] <avalon_> hello
[15:58] <Jack_Sparrow> __boomer: That may not be what you want but it had some good info I was missing
[15:59] <fsufitch> hey, i'm experiencing a problem with my KDE: none of the gnome programs are themed (they look like plain ugly buttons); this is fixed after i run gnome-appearance-properties, but it's a real pain to do so every time i log on; i looked online for answers or anything but couldn't find anything; anyone else having the same problem or a solution?
[15:59] <tifine> how can i increase the screen size in text mode ubuntu. my pc is showing the small screen as compared to graphical interface !
[15:59] <glassface> gftp sucks for me.. any ftp client with good features?
[16:00] <jrib> glassface: what features are you looking for?
[16:00] <glassface> simple
[16:00] <TheNo1Yeti> FileZilla
[16:00] <glassface> when I am typing it should goto the file
[16:00] <erUSUL> glassface: filezilla
[16:00] <jrib> glassface: wput, the 'ftp' command are simple, nautilus if you want a gui
[16:00] <glassface> gftp, filezilla requires to scroll manually to the file I require
[16:01] <robdig> fsufitch: they may have more info in #kubuntu, but if you want to run gnome-appearance-properties every time you log in, do system->preferences->sessions->add
[16:02] <fsufitch> robdig: gnome-appearance properties starts the window that allows me to pick my gnome theme; just closing that window is a PAIN; i don't like to do extra work if i don't have to ;)
[16:02] <fsufitch> i'll check in kubuntu though
[16:02] <Serenella> italiano?
[16:02] <robdig> fsufitch: understand...
[16:02] <erUSUL> glassface: if you are used to the unix shell you may prefer something like lftp or ncftp2
[16:02] <Jack_Sparrow> !it
[16:02] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[16:03] <Serenella> canale ubuntu-it
[16:03] <Serenella> #ubuntu-it
[16:03] <glassface> erusul; i'm tired of scrolling each time to get a required file.
[16:03] <glassface> that is what my problem

[16:03] <Phobos> Hi. What is the config file that I need to modify in order to specify the default session manager? (kdm/xdm/gdm)

[16:04] <ironfoot> have anyone an idea on how to get lamp configure correctly? I've followed a procedure I found on the ubuntu Forum but I get stuck with 1045 acess denied?
[16:05] <erUSUL> !lamp
[16:05] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)

[16:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !sound
[16:11] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3

[16:14] <bro_man> nice one...
[16:15] <waseem> Jack sparrow the wikis talk of getting the sound to work but mine already works

[16:15] <waseem> i just cant control the volume level

[16:15] <juan_> hoe do i tell mozilla to recognize swf files?
[16:15] <yaaar> got a quick compiz-fusion question: how do i change the window decorator that starts up? right now it's emerald, and i can change it fine with gtk-window-decorator --replace once i'm running, but where do i change the decorator it runs on login?
[16:15] <reverseblade> What distro do you suggest for an old computer ? ubuntu seems not booting ?
[16:15] <kaur> Jack_Sparrow; yes
[16:16] <Jack_Sparrow> reverseblade: How old.. what cpu and most importantly, how much ram
[16:16] <reverseblade> Jack_Sparrow, It can run windows xp, P3  and not sure about ram gotta be 256
[16:16] <kaur> Jack_Sparrow; I could really use some help. I even moved my home dir to a new partition and made a complete reinstall but no help
[16:16] <zzillezz> i. i just installed ubuntu 7.10 and i have no windows option in the grub menu, what can i do ?
[16:17] <yaaar> reverseblade: ubuntu ought to work for you...you sure the bios has it booting off the cd?
[16:17] <Jack_Sparrow> kaur: Someone may have an answer, I did see one message about laptop drive issues.. but I have not seen it.. all my lappys have feisty
[16:17] <robdig> waseem: most apps use pcm to play audio. try double clicking on the volume control applet (2 speakers) to open up the mixer and adjust the pcm volume. if you want the single volume control to control pcm, right click on the volume control applet, preferences, and select it to control pcm
[16:17] <komputernerd> hello everybody
[16:17] <szundi> hi
[16:17] <reverseblade> yaaar, when I insert the live CD, the middle bar animation moves about 5 minutes then I got a black screen cursor is blinking on top left and booting not advances any more
[16:18] <kaur> Jack_Sparrow; I'd use feisty but it messes up frequency scaling... For me at least
[16:18] <komputernerd> I have a liveCD for Ubuntu, that I didnt label, how can I tell if it is 64bit or not
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> reverseblade: Go into cmos/bios and set shared video ram to a minimum amount for the install...  try dapper
[16:18] <waseem> robdig what is pcm?
[16:18] <zzillezz> wave
[16:18] <erUSUL> komputernerd: uname -a while it is running ;P
[16:18] <reverseblade> Jack_Sparrow, dapper ? I never liked that in deed. Can you suggest any other distro than ubuntu ?
[16:18] <komputernerd> thank you erUSUL
[16:18] <robdig> waseem: believe it is pulse coded modulation
[16:19] <Dietus> Why won't my sound work on a fresh install of Gutsy.

[16:19] <reverseblade> I don't need  speed in deed  I just need to boot it up
[16:20] <reverseblade> bro_man, do you think xubuntu will boot up whene ubuntu does not ?

[16:20] <bobbob1016> Can anyone suggest a frontend for tracker?  I have tracker-search-tool, and it finds results, but doesn't show them.
[16:20] <waseem> the sound works. currently i can only test with flash files maybe thats a prob
[16:21] <mrannanj> reverseblade: try the non graphical install option so you get to see what is the problem
[16:21] <bro_man> reverseblade: it's worth it to find out...  'Damn Small Linux" may be another option for you...
[16:21] <reverseblade> mrannanj, live CD has no non graphical install option does it ?
[16:21] <erUSUL> waseem: aplay /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav

[16:22] <zzillezz> thx, gonna have a look erUSUL
[16:23] <mrannanj> reverseblade: it must have.. just check the boot menu.. there are options you get pressing f1,f2,f3 etc
[16:23] <bro_man> reverseblade: ... both are designed for older PC's  and use very low resources
[16:23] <waseem> thanks erUSUL the test showed that the sound volume doesnt affect anything

[16:26] <erUSUL> waseem: tried alsamixer on a console yet?
[16:26] <mrannanj> reverseblade: the alternative install cd gives you nongraphical install if the livecd really fails
[16:26] <robdig> waseem: double click on the volume applet to open up the mixer, it will show you three volume controls, the pcm one is in the middle
[16:26] <olegnep_> nclife  - if you have any sort of reasonably new comp it will be ddr2
[16:26] <waseem> oh ok ill try that and no i have not tried the alsam mixer in console yet
[16:27] <szundi> Jack_Sparrow:I haven't installed any major software yet(only Opera and Amarok), my screen turn black even when I start ubuntu(i mean i don't see the process bar loading..)
[16:27] <nclife> olegnep_, it is not. That's why I want to check
[16:27] <nclife> olegnep_, is there a way without having to open the cpu?

[16:35] <qaldune> mmmm
[16:35] <waseem> how can i set the keyboard to control PCM too
[16:35] <qaldune> that sounds tricky
[16:35] <ccunarro> anyone knows how to fix this error when trying to connect the cell phone via bluetooth "Couldn't display «obex://[00:1b:52:71:56:da]». Check if service is available"

[16:35] <qaldune> arshermetica what's the chipset of the builtin thing?
[16:36] <ArsHermetica> eep, lemme check.
[16:36] <waseem> well the keyboard works but it cant control the sound tool (it still controls the master volume)
[16:36] <insp12> dear Ubuntu, I am using the ATi restricted drivers, and I finally was able to get my xorg.conf to detect everything right, but now when I try the compiz plugins I am getting a white screen of death
[16:37] <qaldune> compiz isn't worth your time, really

[16:37] <waseem> ok well before i changed the sound to be controlled by PCM it was being controlled by the Master volume
[16:38] <lalalande_> could someone take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=634126&page=2 and tell if this is safe?

[16:38] <waseem> when i use the keyboard to adjust volume it should affect PCM now not Master

I am very conserned about destroying the data and usability of either ... is there some way to diagnose and repair this situation ?

[16:52] <Dr_willis> JuJuBee,  unzip whatever.zip
[16:52] <kritzstapf> hi im trying to set up pulseaudio, but the startscript doesnt work, running it from a terminal works..
[16:52] <Dr_willis> JuJuBee,  or use 'unp' :)

[16:53] <Dr_willis> JuJuBee,  if you had asked that first.. :) i also have the answer to that!
[16:53] <ApacheBBQ> erUSUL, Will running it from a terminal give me a graphical program?
[16:53] <JuJuBee> sorry.
[16:53] <LotharTBL> Damn Dependencies!! Ok build essentials didn't include glib 1.2.6 any idea the apt-get name to install?
[16:54] <Dr_willis> JuJuBee,  unzip is one of the FEW prograsm vie seen that can do that this way.. .heh     unzip '*.zip'    NOTE the quotes.

[17:13] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  you could use the gparted tool. May be a little easier.  It will let you reisize keeping the data on sda1 intact also.
[17:13] <erUSUL> twiztr: they use the libata drivers
[17:13] <piggyg1> can that be stored on a network?

[17:13] <Slap_stick> I don't suppose anyone knows how to get java for firefox do they, i've got the libgcjwebplugin in there i did download the jre6 and copied of the libjavaplugin_oji.so to the /usr/lib/firefox directory but that crashed the brwoser
[17:13] <twiztr> So it's fine then?
[17:13] <piggyg1> thanks!
[17:14] <bobgill> Dr_willis: yes but GParted just hangs on Scanning All Devices, I can't get it to go
[17:14] <Slap_stick> but with the gcjweb plugin i get applet error on the java app
[17:14] <sharpie> is there a way to see when ubuntu was installed on my machine?

[17:14] <bobgill> :/
[17:14] <ravi> does any one know about execlp()??please help
[17:14] <twiztr> erUSUL: So it's normal then?
[17:14] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  well.. ya may want to delete the swap partition first. then exit cfdisk.   It's on a different disk
[17:15] <twiztr> 7.10
[17:15] <GarethAdams> erUSUL: must be environment related but I have no idea where to look
[17:15] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  perhaps i am missreading the paste then. :) you pasted both
[17:16] <erUSUL> GarethAdams: this is ubuntu gutsy + zsh + es_ES.utf8 on gnome terminal
[17:16] <bobgill> Dr_willis: sorry my mistake... yes I only want to get rid of sdb1 and sdb2, and keep sdb3.. only on that disk
[17:16]  * Dr_willis saw the sda at the start and dident scroll down. :)
[17:16] <bobgill> :]
[17:16] <ArsHermetica> Could someone help me connect to the internet? Working off of a dell inspiron 1501 with a built in wireless card. And for somereason I cannot connect to the net
[17:16] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  i was about to say that on sda the partitions are out of order. :)  that may be whats confusing gparted.
[17:17] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  same with sdb. How did ya manage to do that.
[17:17] <bobgill> Dr_willis: really? how so ?
[17:17] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: what is the card?
[17:17] <bobgill> no idea lol
[17:17] <Dr_willis> Look at the #;s  Start and end
[17:17] <ArsHermetica> erm, how do I find that out? I just got this machine as a gift
[17:17] <bobgill> ah yes
[17:17] <bobgill> i see
[17:17] <bobgill> how can I fix that
[17:17] <Sake> how do you check the encoding of a file in linux and hten change it to utf8?
[17:17] <Smiky> Ciao a tutti !
[17:17] <Dr_willis> i would say delete sdb1 first... :)
[17:18] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: are you on the machine right now? running Gutsy?
[17:18] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  you DONT want to keep any data?

[17:18] <ArsHermetica> The machine is on and running gutsy, however I am on irc via my desktop
[17:18] <bobgill> Dr_willis: nope, sdb1 and sdb2 are old edgy install, i dont need them
[17:18] <Dr_willis> bobgill,   fire up fdisk and delete them then. dont use cfdisk. Heh.
[17:18] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: can you presently access the machine?
[17:19] <ArsHermetica> Bazhang: Yes I can
[17:19] <Dr_willis> Then make a new one.. this will trash all data on sdb1 and sdb2
[17:19] <bobgill> Dr_willis: what's the command? fdisk /dev/sdb1?
[17:19] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: open up the terminal and see what lspci says
[17:19] <Dr_willis> fdisk /dev/sdb   :) sdb1 is not the drive.
[17:19] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  you want to keep sdb3  correct?
[17:19] <bobgill> Dr_willis: yes definitely want to keep sdb3
[17:20] <Iggz> HI, is there anyway to change the short cut keys in desktop cubes? Ie away from alt/ctrl?

[17:20] <Jack_Sparrow> ApacheBBQ: lame is the encoder
[17:21] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: you have to be registered to do that
[17:21] <ApacheBBQ> erUSUL, Having trouble locating it.
[17:21] <ArsHermetica> ah, understood
[17:21] <erUSUL> ApacheBBQ: once you are at it install all the other gstreamer plugins
[17:21] <aladdinsane> Is there a way to mount a drive so it turns up like a normal drive in nautilus/thunar, right now i have it mounted like this (fstab): /dev/sdc1    /home/alado/!HDD2        ext3    rw  0      0by which the drive of course mounts as a folder under alado. It would be nicer to have it in the left pane as a drive rather than, as i said, as a folder.
[17:21] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  if you  manually delete 1 and 2. and carefully make a new partition with the start end of 1  5099   - it should make a new single partition.
[17:21] <ArsHermetica> ok, opened terminal, how do I enter that command?
[17:21] <Iggz> Bazhang: Thanks :)
[17:21] <erUSUL> ApacheBBQ: probably you need to enable the multiverse repo
[17:21] <ApacheBBQ> erUSUL, How is that done..I am very new to this.
[17:21] <Jack_Sparrow> aladdinsane: switching to uuid can slove a lot of those issues
[17:21] <gnufied> hi trying to apt-get install amarok, but its trying to install ruby, which i don't want since i already have custom compiled ruby on my machine.. is there any way to avoid this?
[17:22] <erUSUL> ApacheBBQ: go to System>Admin>Software Sources and check all the repos from the first tab
[17:22] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: just type lspci and tell what the last line or so says (better not paste it in the channel though)
[17:22] <ArsHermetica> ok
[17:22] <bobgill> Dr_willis: ok, I did sudo fdisk /dev/sdb1
[17:22] <erUSUL> ApacheBBQ: also read the link ubotu told you
[17:22] <bazhang> Iggz: no worries :}
[17:22] <gidna> hi
[17:22] <bazhang> hi gidna
[17:22] <ArsHermetica> not found
[17:22] <ArsHermetica> oops, bazhang: not found
[17:22] <gidna> what I do if write ls << ciao on a console?
[17:23] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  hit 'h' to read the fdisk help. :)
[17:23] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  note that NO changesd are made untill you actually 'w' write the changes to disk. SO if you mess up. just exit. dont write
[17:23] <erUSUL> gidna: nothing usefull
[17:23] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: you opened the terminal and typed in lspci?
[17:23] <bobgill> Dr_willis: ok I hit "d" but it keeps saying "no partition is defined yet"
[17:23] <gidna> I want to know..
[17:23] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: yes
[17:24] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: sorry I typed 1 not l
[17:24] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  use 'p' to print the layout
[17:24] <bobgill> ok
[17:24] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  ALSO - i recall on some systems you can delete partitions/chagne the disks.. but then the kernel dosent see the changes till you reboot.. some sort of bug/quirk.
[17:24] <erUSUL> gidna: i have tried the shell thinks it is an unfinished command becouse it is bogus
[17:24] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  that may be your issue.
[17:24] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: it shows ALOT of stuff, what should I tell you?
[17:25] <bobgill> well I can't seem to delete it
[17:25] <WorkingOnWise> before I chase my tail too far into the woods, I have a question. Why couldn't I set up a VPN across the internet between my Ubuntu laptop and the Windows XP pc's I need to support, and and then simply use rdp for remote control. All the connection points have at least 512k dsl or cable connections.
[17:25] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  so i would say.. reboot and try it again.
[17:25] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: the last line or two--maybe realtek, ralink, intel, something along those lines (but don't paste in channel)
[17:25] <erUSUL> gidna: ls >> ciao on the other hand will create a file ciao with th output of ls in it (overwritting ciao if it alrady exists)
[17:25] <aladdinsane> Jack_Sparrow: so it is an issue? i just thought i set it up wrong? So what would be a possible solution then?
[17:25] <bobgill> Dr_willis: but I haven't done anything yet.. there are no changes for it to see ?
[17:25] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: ok, where should I tell you?
[17:26] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  the earlier changes from cfdisk may be needing a reboot to see the changes.
[17:26] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: ralink? realtek? what card for wireless
[17:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !uuid
[17:26] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[17:26] <gidna> no..
[17:26] <bobgill> Dr_willis: right but I didn't make any changes in cfdisk, I couldn't get it to go
[17:26] <gidna> I don't see this effect
[17:26] <ArsHermetica> Ricoh
[17:26] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  ive seen this issue befor - had to reboot some of my systems during the isntall for the partitions to get seen.   If thats not the case here.. im at a loss as to what to do.
[17:27] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: ricoh wireless card? is there a number associated with it?
[17:27] <ArsHermetica> R5C843
[17:28] <Jack_Sparrow> bazhang: I thought for sure that laptop had a broadcom  57 something
[17:28] <ArsHermetica> Or am I looking for network controller?
[17:28] <ApacheBBQ> erUSUL, I get an error. Dependacy is not satisfiable.
[17:28] <Dr_willis> bobgill,  if fdisk cant delete the partitions.. well  - thats scary. :(
[17:28] <Dr_willis> bbl
[17:28] <bazhang> Jack_Sparrow: I think you are right
[17:28] <bobgill> Dr_willis: ok I will reboot in a minute and be back.. then we will see, thanks for the help
[17:28] <Dr_willis> good luck
[17:28] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: is there a listing for broadcomm as well?
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> bobgill: you might want to try gparted live to rework tose partitions
[17:29] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: the last few lines have Network controller, ethernetcontroller, generic sys periph, and sys periph
[17:29] <ArsHermetica> broadcom BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> yea
[17:29] <ArsHermetica> I apologize if i'm being a hassle
[17:30] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[17:30] <Jack_Sparrow> ArsHermetica: I am installing gutsy on a Dell C640 atm
[17:30]  * ArsHermetica chuckles. I loathed vista on this lappy but a friend put ubuntu on here for me, swore he'd help me figure it all out, and then got deployed

All the windows boxes can see the aliases and the proper shares. A linux box sees the aliases, but only the share of the main servers hostname. what gives? what did i do wrong?
[17:37] <holloway> yeah, but with an o pls :)

[17:39] <LimCore> wtf??
[17:39] <bruenig> eses, erUSUL just told you
[17:39] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: does it give you the option to enable them? sometimes clicking and unclicking will do it
[17:39] <LimCore> where the hell is mount in ubuntu?
[17:40] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: yes, it does, and if this is the solution to my problems then I apologize. lol
[17:40] <bruenig> LimCore, do "which mount"

[17:41] <bazhang> ubuntu-restricted-extras ArsHermetica
[17:42] <DaSkreech> Wonderful
[17:42] <ArsHermetica> bazhang: ok, one moment
[17:42] <DaSkreech> thank you mypapit
[17:42] <sjovan> DaSkreech: finch is pigden just textbased, if that is what you are asking for.
[17:42] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:42] <erUSUL> sjovan: why use telnet is so 80's ;P seriusly you should be using ssh
[17:42] <wib> hi there, can vlc deactivate the screensaver automatically? (gutsy)
[17:42] <DaSkreech> sjovan: precisely waht I want
[17:42] <erUSUL> !ssh | sjovan
[17:42] <ubotu> sjovan: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[17:42] <mypapit> DaSkreech, np.. though i personally prefer centerim to finch
[17:42] <DaSkreech> mypapit: Why?
[17:42] <pike_> wib: mplayer can i dont know about vlc
[17:43] <sjovan> erUSUL: the problem is i need to open some ports on my router. i'm useing ssh, but i have to telnet my router
[17:43] <mypapit> DaSkreech, centerim is more inuitive, easier to use in console than finch.. i think the reason is, finch tries too hard emulate pidgin in console
[17:43] <sjovan> the problem is that after a lot of ideling on my reouter menu in telnet sudently it stopped working and i can't connect any more
[17:43] <mypapit> DaSkreech, well that's only my personal opinion, you can decide it yourself ;)
[17:44] <sjovan> and now i know how to fix the problem
[17:44] <Jack_Sparrow> bazhang:    http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/
[17:44] <DaSkreech> mypapit: I'll take that into consideration and try centerim first then :)
[17:44] <LimCore> the default ubuntu kernel seems to provide only one loop /dev/loop0 ?  how to spawn more loops?
[17:44] <bazhang> ArsHermetica: installing those will also save some steps later--when you want to listen to mp3s, play flash (youtube) etc; there are two more packages to install for dvd playback, and then you will be good to go
[17:44] <sjovan>  mypapit: what's wrong with finch? workes great for me
