[03:05] <lufis> rynb1n: and when you try to browse the cd in mac os, it says its blank?
windows driver avavilble
windows driver avavilble for web cam
[03:05] <nivekc1> so sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop        or reinstall?
[03:06] <lufis> nivekc1: try sudo apt-get first, cd if all else fails :p
[03:06] <rynb1n> yeah..so strange...ill try burning it again?
[03:06] <rynb1n> im in disk utility now
[03:06] <rynb1n> i draged the iso
[03:06] <unagi> im having trouble installing awn
[03:06] <lufis> rynb1n: i guess so... do you have another pc/mac around?
[03:06] <Jordan_U> nivekc1, Just install ubuntu desktop, everything will come back automagically the way it was :)
[03:06] <rynb1n> and now hit burn
[03:06] <lufis> rynb1n: well burning it as an image is crucial to having it boot
[03:06] <wtfever> I am trying to use gparted to reformat my hdd but every time I go to make a partition ubuntu immediately mounts it and turns off gparted.   It looks great, runs fine everything works... except when I go to shutdown it gets to a logo and dosent shut down.  I can hold the power button and force it and it comes back up just fine.. Hope it is an easy fix.
[03:08] <wtfever> Jordan_U: Yeah... tryed it. Didn't work.
[03:08] <dr_willis> wtfever,  or install some other window manager that wont be automounting things.. like icewm
[03:08] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, Because Linux can load 686 optimizations at boot, it is just 386 compatible
[03:08] <dr_willis> wtfever,  and use gparted from that.
[03:08] <finn> I have the theme from http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=49443  downloaded and extracted to ~/.themes/VictrolaGrrl   but  gtk-theme-switch still only lets me choose "default"
[03:08] <finn> am I missing something?
[03:09] <Jordan_U> wtfever, Have you tried sudo umount -a ?
[03:09] <rynb1n> says its writing
[03:09] <rynb1n> i hope its not lying lol
[03:09] <Jack_Sparrow> finn:  for themes I just drop the tar file onto the open theme manager
[03:09] <Nutubuntu> Got a VMWare question - any reason to choose /var/lib/vmware-server/Virtual Machines/ to set up the virtual machines? would /usr/local/share/virtual-machines do as well? (I'd rather use /usr than /var if no issues will be created.)
[03:09] <vlatko> hi guys, i have trouble with my pioneer dvd-rw, it copies on hdd very slow on every ubuntu version.
[03:09] <vlatko> anyone had some experience with this device???
[03:09] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, Why are you using the alternate cd BTW?
[03:09] <Nutubuntu> :/ sorry ... hit the wrong key
[03:10] <lufis> rynb1n: i386 is the arch
[03:10] <Jack_Sparrow> vlatko: rw are slow
[03:10] <finn> shouldn't it allow me to change to the theme now that I have it in the folder?
[03:10] <rynb1n> because i had an issue runnign and installing ubuntu because my graphics card is ati radeon x1600 and the x windows thing doesnt recognize it
[03:10] <lufis> rynb1n: ...which might actually be your problem
[03:10] <rynb1n> whats an arch
[03:10] <lufis> rynb1n: you're on a powerpc mac?
[03:10] <unagi> ok
[03:10] <vlatko> Jack_Sparrow yes but, can i change it from 16 bit to 32 bits?
[03:10] <rynb1n> macbook pro
[03:10] <unagi> for the record........aptitude rocks
[03:10] <Jordan_U> finn, Just drag the compressed theme into the theme manager to install it
[03:10] <vlatko> it never works for m
[03:10] <lufis> rynb1n: so it's intel?
[03:10] <rynb1n> yes
[03:10] <nitturis> do we get any tool to translate the windows driver to linux driver...
[03:11] <Jack_Sparrow> finn: not all themes from gnome-look or anywhere all work.. they also are often partial themes, just icons or wallpaper
[03:11] <lufis> rynb1n: hm, i don't know much about macs
[03:11] <rynb1n> thats okay
[03:11] <fogwar> nitturis: there is ndiswrapper....?
[03:11] <finn> the theme manager being gtk-theme-switch  ?
[03:11] <Pie-rate> I stopped a package (wine) from being updated because the newer version introduced problems. I forgot how I did this and now I don't know how to get it to upgrade it. It gives me the message:
[03:11] <Pie-rate> The following packages have been kept back:
[03:11] <Pie-rate>   wine
[03:11] <lufis> rynb1n: but i386 would work for the newer intel ones
[03:11] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, I have a macbook pro also if you have any questions
[03:11] <rynb1n> it shouldnt be the issue, its a known issue and there is a fix for the video thing
[03:11] <fogwar> nitturis: but it's not on the list, but maybe cuz its pretty new
[03:11] <EvilDennisR> Gonna spam the channel some more... I'm using Feisty, and I'm having some issues getting my Netgear WG311-v3 working.. I went through the steps found in the documentation page, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Netgear_WG311_v3 - And got nidswrapper to work with the drivers. The card shows up in ifconfig and iwconfig, and I can configure it with the gnome network manager.. Problem is that even it appears to be work
[03:11] <Jack_Sparrow> I just installed fiesty..  It looks great, runs fine everything works... except when I go to shutdown it gets to a logo and dosent shut down.  I can hold the power button and force it and it comes back up just fine.. Hope it is an easy fix.
[03:11] <rynb1n> jordan U i would love some help
[03:11] <lufis> Jordan_U: did you use the i386 arch installation?
[03:11] <Jordan_U> lufis, Yes, because I have the 32 bit macbook pro
[03:11] <finn> or is there another theme manager?
 does ndiswrapper works
[03:12] <lufis> Jordan_U: ah, ok, just wondering
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> vlatko: I dont understand the questin
[03:12] <fogwar> nitturis: don't know b/c i downloaded the drivers and they are in exe format
[03:12] <rynb1n> i have the very first production model
[03:12] <RedWolf> !DualHead
[03:12] <rynb1n> right off the bat
[03:12] <ubotu> Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[03:12] <rynb1n> first line shipped
[03:12] <nitturis> i will try
[03:12] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, Same :)
[03:12] <rynb1n> and i still love it
[03:12] <rynb1n> :)
[03:12] <Stormx2> Jack_Sparrow: You'd probably need to disable usplash. When does it show the logo? Before the orange bar comes up?
[03:12] <nitturis> fogwar: i will try
[03:12] <rynb1n> and it worked for you?
[03:12] <lufis> rynb1n: arch is the architecture... most pcs and the newer macs use i386
[03:12] <fogwar> nitturis: ????
[03:12] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, To fix the GFX just install fglrx
[03:12] <rynb1n> what was the process you had to go through jordan
[03:13] <lufis> rynb1n: old macs use ppc
[03:13] <rynb1n> ?fqlrx?
[03:13] <vlatko> Jack_Sparrow: my device is working on 16bit mode, not on 32, i checked that using hdparm for hdb
[03:13] <vox754> EvilDennisR: you should give more info on what doesn't work. Apparently you've done everything well, but still doesn't work? How do you explain that?
 : ndiswrapper
[03:13] <vlatko> i can never change it
[03:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Stormx2:  not sure.. if before or after.. how do I disable usplash
[03:13] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, The binary blob that you need because ATI hates Linux :)
[03:13] <rynb1n> how do you go about doing so
[03:13] <rynb1n> LOL
[03:13] <rynb1n> is it a simple download and install on the mac osx side?
[03:13] <Stormx2> Jack_Sparrow: I have no idea ;_; does it happen really soon after you hit shutdown?
[03:13] <finn> Jack_Sparrow, is there a nother theme manager which can handle them better?
[03:13] <lufis> rynb1n: what do you mean?
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> finn: no
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Stormx2: No it seems to get most of the way through a shutdown
[03:14] <lufis> rynb1n: architecture is at the hardware level, no software is going to change it
[03:14] <wtfever> Jordan_U: Yeah... I am going to drop kick gnome for being retarted
[03:14] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, With the LiveCD it is, aside from the GFX issues ( so not really :)
[03:14] <Stormx2> Jack_Sparrow: Does it get past flickering on/off (usplash has two stages on shutdown)
[03:15] <rynb1n> so how did you go about getting it. just download it from macosx?
[03:15] <rynb1n> then do what with it
[03:15] <Jack_Sparrow> LEt me check on other box.. be a minute
[03:16] <lufis> rynb1n: are you asking me?
[03:16] <Hazler> Anyone use Democracy because i have some question
[03:16] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, I followed the instructions for the macbook non pro minus the GFX card specific steps
[03:16] <rynb1n> no im asking jordan cuz he sounds like he already did it :) but lufis i just re-burned the iso ill check that soon
[03:16] <lufis> oh, ok ;)
[03:16] <EvilDennisR> vox754: If I knew why it wasn't working then I wouldn't be in here ;) I'm using the gnome network manager to select my wifi, I put in my wpa passkey (Which is correct), selected dhcp (Also tried to specifically select my IP), and I can't reach the outside world, nor the gateway. The wifi access point is working properly -- I am on a wireless laptop running xubuntu at the moment.
[03:16] <rynb1n> so hold up jordan...where are these instructions?
[03:17] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[03:17] <rynb1n> could you list it out for me?
[03:17] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook
[03:17] <Hazler> I need some Democracry Player help please
[03:17] <rynb1n> which one is it
[03:17] <rynb1n> lol
[03:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Stormx2: Click shutdown flickers once, get the bar, it goes across, flickers twice then logo with black bar and stay there
[03:17] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, Forgot to copy to clipboard first time :)
[03:17] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, The second
[03:17] <tonic-pushcart> Jack_Sparrow: there are problems with ACPI sometimes    I have a computer around here that has a problem that sounds the same
[03:18] <Hitomaro> hello
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> tonic-pushcart: I have seen similar problems in the past...
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> tonic-pushcart: I wonder if I can boot noapic
[03:18] <Hitomaro> does anyone know why I simply cannot get my resolution past 1024?
[03:18] <EvilDennisR> vox754: I've been looking around on google for some more info, but everyone pretty much says the same thing, use ndlswrapper with the 2000/xp driver
[03:19] <d4rkmonkey> Hitomaro, you have to configure your xorg
[03:19] <d4rkmonkey> !resolution
[03:19] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:19] <rynb1n> wow
[03:19] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, There are also macbook pro instructions but they do some things that I really don't like, so I recommend cherry picking from it and installing using the macbook instructions
[03:19] <rynb1n> this is different
[03:19] <rynb1n> booookmark!
[03:19] <tonic-pushcart> Jack_Sparrow: when it is shutting down just use alt + right to change virtual terminal and alt + left to go back   it should get rid of usplash and show you the console messages
[03:19] <vox754> EvilDennisR: That's a little more specific, see. Okay then, what's the output of "dhclient" and "ifconfig"? Even if it is configured you may need to bring it up with "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up". I would suggest you configure with the terminal and not the GUI.
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Hitomaro: sounds like you are running default driver and probably an ati card..
[03:19] <d4rkmonkey> !resolution > Hitomaro
[03:19] <Stormx2> Jack_Sparrow: Bleh, I have no idea...
[03:19] <james296> is it possible to prevent the selection box from showing up whenever I click any button on anything in Ubuntu?
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> tonic.. will try that..
[03:19] <rynb1n> ok
[03:19] <Hitomaro> I'm running an nvidia fx 5500
[03:19] <rynb1n> gunna run this and try it out
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> storm2 thanks..
[03:19] <rynb1n> brb
[03:19] <d4rkmonkey> Hitomaro, look at the linkl
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !nvidia
[03:19] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:19] <james296> like when I click on a OK box, Cancel box, Stop box, etc...
[03:20] <Jordan_U> Hitomaro, Have you tried Restricted Manager ?
[03:20] <rootyrootrootroo> Hi, what would happen if I deleted everything in my /tmp folder pls?
[03:20] <d4rkmonkey> *link
[03:20] <Jordan_U> Hitomaro, System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[03:20] <finn> is there a gtk-theme-switch2 (for gtk2) ??
[03:20] <finn> or does gtk-theme-switch do both?
[03:21] <Hitomaro> yes I have
[03:21] <fuzzy_logic> rootyrootrootroo: nothing spectaculair :)
[03:21] <Hitomaro> everything of that sort is in order
[03:21] <Hitomaro> but
[03:21] <Hitomaro> my screen res won't go over 1024
[03:21] <james296> well?
[03:21] <rames> 'evening all ... ati rage mobility? fglrx?  anybody got a good pointer for me?
[03:21] <fuzzy_logic> rootyrootrootroo: it will not harm anything in your system, but you will lose all your temporairy data.. i clean my tmp folder every week..
[03:21] <EvilDennisR> vox754: I only have wlan0 up with ifconfig.. dhclient doesn't find any working leases (When I just run dhclient wlan0)
[03:22] <Hitomaro> my nvidia xserver doesn't go past 1024
[03:22] <d4rkmonkey> Hitomaro, did you try that link that ubotu should have sent you in a PM?
[03:22] <rames> ...real goal is to get frets-on-fire running, but my laptop has no opengl love currently
[03:22] <EvilDennisR> vox754: Whats the ifconfig option to specify your wpa key ? I'll try running it by hand instead of the gnome network manager
[03:22] <fuzzy_logic> Hitomaro: do you have the right driver installed? if yes, type nvidia-settings in your terminal, there you will be able to set a screen resolution
[03:23] <rames> or even a good "opengl" on ubuntu guide would probably be helpful
[03:23] <Hitomaro> I'm doing it now d4rkmonkey
[03:23] <ruben> Hello, it is possible to use underscore cursor like '_' on xterm?
[03:23] <d4rkmonkey> ok I hope it helps Hitomaro
[03:23] <vox754> EvilDennisR: then I would say, your Access Point, or Router is not configured correctly. I haven't used wpa, but I think you should use "wpa_supplicant".
[03:23] <fuzzy_logic> ruben: of course it is
[03:23] <rootyrootrootroo> fuzzy_logic: thanks, i am trying to free up some space.:)
[03:23] <Hitomaro> fuzzy_logic: Hitomaro: do you have the right driver installed? if yes, type nvidia-settings in your terminal, there you will be able to set a screen resolution
[03:23] <Hitomaro> what?
[03:23] <mistone> on ubuntu server how do I set a start up program?
[03:23] <Hitomaro> ok
[03:23] <fuzzy_logic> ruben: ohh.. cursor.. sorry.. i don't know
[03:23] <Hitomaro> got it
[03:23] <lufis> mistone: system -> preferences -> session
[03:23] <EvilDennisR> vox754: As I stated already, the wifi access point is working.. I'm using it on my laptop right now
[03:24] <unagi> is there a way to make a shortcut to a file if you have to type 'csh shake' to run it?
[03:24] <mistone> lufis: ubuntu server
[03:24] <lufis> mistone: oh, oops
[03:24] <Hitomaro> that just sends me back to the nvidia xserver
[03:24] <SlimG> howto make SSHFS mount with rsa authentification instead of password prompt ?
[03:24] <Jordan_U> Hitomaro, Have you installed the Nvidia drivers from the Restricted Driver Manager ?
[03:25] <fuzzy_logic> unagi: right-click your on your desktop, and choose something like add shourtcut or something like that, and just type in the command box the command that you use for that program
[03:25] <tonic-pushcart> Jack_Sparrow: hope that did something for you   have to go now  ciao
[03:25] <unagi> ive tried that......it doesnt work.....the program is in another folder
[03:25] <lufis> fuzzy_logic: just curious... is your username from the sims?
 did u install driver...
[03:25] <fuzzy_logic> lufis: no :)
[03:25] <pukeko> what is the console app called for seting up nics ?
[03:26] <lufis> fuzzy_logic: oh... there's a "fuzzy logic" brand dishwasher in the sims ;)
[03:26] <fuzzy_logic> unagi: you get that error message?
[03:26] <fuzzy_logic> lufis: lol :) no i don't do sims :P
[03:26] <lufis> fuzzy_logic: :P
[03:26] <Jordan_U> pukeko, ifconfig ?
[03:27] <Jordan_U> pukeko, iwconfig for wireless
[03:27] <nickrud> unagi, use csh /path/to/shake
[03:27] <pukeko> Jordan_U: i need to detect the nics
[03:27] <unagi> nickrud thanks that worked
[03:28] <illovae> oyo
[03:28] <rames> answering my own question (ATI + OpenGL) ... this page seems to help  sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager
[03:28] <Jordan_U> pukeko, Just run ifconfig and it should list all detected devices
[03:28] <pukeko> Jordan_U:  discover lists them
[03:28] <rames> oops- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[03:30] <habeeb> How can I extract a .tar.bz2 archive using the cli?
[03:30] <nickrud> habeeb, tar xf
[03:31] <TrisMcC> habeeb: tar jxf
[03:31] <Jack_Sparrow> tonic.. I did that and it went through the shutdown, I tried it again without alt-right and now it is working.. odd.. but thanks alot
[03:31] <nickrud> TrisMcC, tar is getting smarter these days
[03:31] <habeeb> nickrud: That won't work for .tar.bz2
[03:31] <EvilDennisR> vox754: hmm. where can I get the wpa_supplicant deb?
[03:31] <rames> habeeb: tar xvjf file.tar.bz2
[03:31] <habeeb> TrisMcC: Aw, it's the -j switch.
[03:32] <Eckse> .
[03:32] <TrisMcC> nickrud: If these days, you mean the last 7 years :)
[03:32] <habeeb> rames TrisMcC  nickrud Thanks :)
[03:32] <nickrud> just tested (again)
[03:32] <nickrud> TrisMcC, eh, I swear I started with that switch necessary (7 years ago, true)
[03:32] <pukeko> is there a netconfig like app in ubuntu ?
[03:32] <vox754> EvilDennisR: don't know... mmm, checked synaptic? Sorry, not on Linux right now. Besides, I'm gone.
[03:33] <nonewmsgs> help im trapped in windows.  i was dual booting and i had to reset bios and i dont remember which order the drives are supposed to be in or which drive even contains grub

[03:33] <ubuntu_> Hello... I have 10GB of unallocated space.. I need to resize my ext3 partition.. How do I do that? I'm now using the live cd... I'm running gparted and when I right click on the ext3 partition, the resize option is disabled..
[03:33] <Ricket> My second core is locked at full 2ghz - it is supposed to idle at 1ghz! Restarting powernowd didn't help, the only solution is to restart the computer but then after I do a standby, it locks again. How can I set the processor back down to 1ghz (dynamically increasing as needed)?? Any ideas?
[03:33] <nickrud> nonewmsgs, boot the live cd, and do sudo fdisk -l : it will list all your partitions
[03:33] <milllmannn> can someone help me with this error
[03:33] <milllmannn> Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper Release.gpg
[03:33] <milllmannn>   Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'
[03:33] <pukeko> TrisMcC: i want to detect and configure on bootup
[03:34] <milllmannn> i get this when i try to run apt-get update
[03:34] <Nutubuntu> ubuntu_, the free space needs to be contiguous with the partition you are trying to resize ... are they next to each other, or separated by other partitions?
[03:34] <TrisMcC> pukeko: DHCP?
[03:34] <Jordan_U> milllmannn, The US mirrors are sometimes flakey, try the standard ones ( Canada I think )
[03:34] <jean__> Hi! Can someone just tell me, how to install Monodevelope and where to get it? (I'm using Ubuntu Studio)
[03:34] <milllmannn> i can connec to it with another machine though...
[03:34] <nonewmsgs> i can see the drives in windows but i dont know what im supposed to do after that
[03:34] <nickrud> nonewmsgs, or, if you can't, find http://www.fs-driver.org/
[03:34] <Ricket> jean__: search with the Synaptic package manager (System>Administration>Synaptic)
[03:35] <pukeko> TrisMcC: nope, exiting dapper disk in new box
[03:35] <milllmannn> and i am getting that error with every one i try to connect to
[03:35] <nickrud> nonewmsgs, erm, wrong link, a sec
[03:35] <jean__> Ricket: Ty, I'll have a look.
[03:35] <ubuntu_> Nutubuntu: The partitions are listed in this order -> 15GB NTFS, 10GB unallocated, 5GB NTFS, 6GB ext3, extended, linux-swap, unknown
[03:35] <Eckse> I used "xcopy /e /h /k e:\*.* f:" in windows command prompt to move the CD files to my usb stick for installing through usb... and I get "File creation error - Error performing inpage operation". What the heck?
[03:36] <Eckse> I am following this guide btw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[03:36] <TrisMcC> pukeko: Is it configured, but configured wrong? Look at the file /etc/network/interfaces, and look at the man page with "man 5 interfaces"
[03:37] <john> Hi, I have Breezy Badger installed on a laptop and want to upgrade to Fiesty - but I don't want to lose my email and documents etc - IS THERE AN UPGRADE that doesn't overwrite and cause me to start again with everything on my desktop?
[03:37] <pukeko> TrisMcC:i am familliar with the interfaces file.. brb
[03:37] <Nutubuntu> ubuntu_,  with the unallocated space in between two other partitions, you are not going to be able to allocate it to the ext3 partition with gparted, as far as I know
[03:37] <nickrud> nonewmsgs, http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs, safer
[03:37] <TrisMcC> john: Are you using GUI or commandline?
[03:37] <Jordan_U> john, Yes, but you will have to upgrade to Dapper then Edgy then Feisty separately
[03:37] <dr_willis> john,  thats how the upgrades are supposed to work.. but it is very very reccomended you backuo  your /home dir.
[03:37] <ubuntu_> Nutubuntu: Okay, so maybe it can be done using another software? Or what do I need to do?
[03:38] <nonewmsgs> thanks nickrud i wouldnt wish a windows only setting even on my worst enemy
[03:38] <Ricket> My second core is locked at full 2ghz - it is supposed to idle at 1ghz! Restarting powernowd didn't help, the only solution is to restart the computer but then after I do a standby, it locks again. How can I set the processor back down to 1ghz (dynamically increasing as needed)?? Any ideas?
[03:38] <TrisMcC> john: Or you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list, replace breezy with feisty, apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade, and cross your fingers. :)
[03:38] <Jordan_U> Nutubuntu, Why wouldn't it be able to?
[03:38] <nickrud> nonewmsgs, I don't condemn those poor deluded fools
[03:38] <milllmannn> can someone look at this and tell me if there is a problem with it?
[03:38] <milllmannn> http://pastie.caboo.se/76971
[03:38] <Jordan_U> john, Don't do what TrisMcC just said
[03:38] <Hitomaro> the first one didn't work unfortunately. =(
[03:38] <john> USing GUI - ok so how do I upgrase one by one?
[03:39] <Hitomaro> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto < the first one
[03:39] <TrisMcC> Jordan_U: Hey :)
[03:39] <Hitomaro> hey jordan_U
[03:39] <Jordan_U> john, TrisMcC Yes, you can only upgrade one release at a time
[03:39] <Hitomaro> =)
[03:39] <nickrud> john, don't skip, I watched someone spend hours fixing their system (a very patient helper )
[03:39] <TrisMcC> john: update-manager -c
[03:40] <Nutubuntu> Jordan_U, maybe I'm wrong - but I thought that when I tried to resize my partitions a couple years back, the unallocated space needed to be adjacent to the partition I was trying to enlarge. It wasn't, and I had to "do stuff" to make some unallocated space adjacent to the partition I wanted to grow. As I said, I could be wrong - but that's what I remember.
[03:40] <Hitomaro> can you help me out?
[03:40] <verve> does the Ubuntu livecd do WPA2 encryption?
[03:40] <Jordan_U> Hitomaro, Depends on what you need help with :)
[03:40] <milllmannn> http://pastie.caboo.se/76971 anyone see any problems with it?
[03:40] <Ricket> What is a command to see the current frequency of my two cores?
[03:40] <Jordan_U> verve, If your card is supported, yes
[03:41] <nickrud> !upgrade | john
[03:41] <ubotu> john: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[03:41] <john> So how do update from breezy to dapper?
[03:41] <Ricket> !ask | Hitomaro
[03:41] <verve> Jordan_U, a Linksys pcmcia
[03:41] <ubotu> Hitomaro: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:41] <verve> ?
[03:41] <bruenig> Ricket, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[03:41] <TrisMcC> milllmannn: I don't see much wrong. What's the issue, you cannot resolve us.archive.ubuntu.com?
[03:41] <Ricket> bruenig: thanks
[03:41] <milllmannn> i cant resolve any of it
[03:41] <Hitomaro> jordan_U: my screen res
[03:41] <bruenig> milllmannn, just change your mirror: sudo sed 's|//us|//ca|g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:41] <Jordan_U> verve, It depends on the chipset, and I wouldn't know off the top of my head either
[03:41] <john> thanks heaps people!!! This is a wonderful site  - especially for us who know nothing and don't want to!!!
[03:41] <nickrud> john, but I seriously recommend you consider backup of home, and reinstalling (and create a separate home partiton this time)
[03:41] <CppIsWeird> is there a linux firewall that blocks and allows based on application?
[03:42] <TrisMcC> milllmannn: Can you ping google.com? :)
[03:42] <Hitomaro> Jordan_U, but first can you help me out with emerald theme?
[03:43] <Nutubuntu> CppIsWeird, what are you trying to block?
[03:43] <Hitomaro> themer*
[03:43] <milllmannn> im still not connecting....
[03:43] <milllmannn> dangit
[03:43] <bruenig> milllmannn, do apt-get update
[03:43] <CppIsWeird> Nutubuntu, nothing.
[03:43] <milllmannn> i just did
[03:43] <Jordan_U> Hitomaro, Try #ubuntu-effects for Beryl
[03:43] <bruenig> milllmannn, what does it say now
[03:43] <milllmannn> its not connecting to anything
[03:43] <milllmannn> same thing
[03:43] <bruenig> milllmannn, it can't say the same thing
[03:43] <bruenig> milllmannn, it is canada now
[03:43] <nox-Hand> !tell nox-Hand about compiz-fusion
[03:43] <milllmannn> well, i mean, its doing the same thing
[03:44] <Jordan_U> milllmannn, Are you connected to the internet? Can you resolve anything?
[03:44] <milllmannn> yes
[03:44] <Hitomaro> sigh
[03:44] <milllmannn> i cant resolve anything doing the update
[03:44] <milllmannn> but
[03:44] <Nutubuntu> I must have misunderstood. Thought you were trying to block or allow <something>. My bad, Cpp
[03:44] <milllmannn> i can pint things within and outside of my network
[03:44] <MerrysPla> Does anyone know how to get the Sony eReader to work with Ubuntu?
[03:44] <milllmannn> so i know it is seeing things
[03:44] <EvilDennisR> Gonna spam the channel some more... I'm using Feisty, and I'm having some issues getting my Netgear WG311-v3 working.. I went through the steps found in the documentation page, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Netgear_WG311_v3 - And got nidswrapper to work with the drivers. The card shows up in ifconfig and iwconfig, and I can configure it with the gnome network manager.. Problem is that it appears to be working;
[03:44] <bruenig> milllmannn, can you ping ca.archive.ubuntu.com
[03:44] <rynb1n> hey Jordan
[03:45] <rynb1n> you still here
[03:45] <milllmannn> ping: unknown host ca.archive.ubuntu.com
[03:45] <Jordan_U> EvilDennisR, The problem is that it IS working?
[03:45] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, no
[03:45] <rynb1n> lol
[03:46] <bruenig> milllmannn, it is on your end then
[03:46] <milllmannn> thats what im thinking
[03:46] <milllmannn> someone give me an IP to ping
[03:46] <rynb1n> so I still am having this Xorg problem, because I cant run the GUI on this video card
[03:46] <bruenig> milllmannn, <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:46] <rynb1n> and that documentation you gave me brings me through the GUI
[03:46] <milllmannn> yup, was able to ping that
[03:46] <rynb1n> didnt you have this problem as well?
[03:46] <Dalton> milllmannn, it doesn't resolve the IP address does it?
[03:46] <EvilDennisR> Jordan_U: Its _not_ working
[03:46] <ptn107> whats the package name that allows amarok mp3 support (feisty amd64) ?
[03:46] <milllmannn> i believe so
[03:47] <Dalton> milllmannn, probably a DNS error then
[03:47] <kitche> milllmannn: what does /etc/resolv.conf have in it?
[03:47] <TrisMcC> milllmannn: Check your /etc/resolv.conf file and make sure that those DNS servers are the ones you are supposed to have.
[03:47] <RedWolf> I have dualhead set up right now.. my only problem is I cant' get each monitor to act as an individual desktop instead of one giant one..  HEre is my Xorg.conf  http://pastebin.ca/608097 can anyone help me?
[03:47] <rynb1n> brb
[03:47] <milllmannn> search localdomain
[03:47] <milllmannn> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:47] <milllmannn> that doesnt sound right
[03:47] <aaronm> So, I downloaded Ubuntu and burned a CD (yes, properly, not just the iso file) and have set BIOS to boot from CD, I can't seem to find any solutions in the documentation...any help?
[03:47] <Dalton> milllmannn, it is right if you have a router or some other device supplying DNS at that IP
[03:47] <TrisMcC> milllmannn: Are you currently on that same network as that computer?
[03:48] <bruenig> milllmannn, see if that matches up with the address ifconfig
[03:48] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, Yes I did, when X won't start go to a terminal ( ctrl+alt+F2 ) and run this, choose "fglrx" as the driver when asked: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh && sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[03:48] <Dalton> milllmannn, (like a router or IPCop firewall or something else)
[03:48] <milllmannn> well, my router is <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:48] <TrisMcC> milllmannn: Change it to <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:48] <rynb1n> any other suggestions?
[03:49] <Dalton> Tris ^^
[03:49] <rynb1n> before my firmware is updated and i go with the text based install
[03:49] <unagi> is there a way to flip which way the icons sit on the desktop?
[03:49] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, Did you see my last comment?
[03:49] <aaronm> So, I downloaded Ubuntu and burned a CD (yes, properly, not just the iso file) and have set BIOS to boot from CD, I can't seem to find any solutions in the documentation...any help? --Er, the problem is...it's not working, won't boot from the disc, sorry about the double post
[03:49] <ptn107> whats the package name that allows amarok mp3 support (feisty amd64) ? .... anyone; amarok freezes instead of automatically downloading the package so i have to do it manually
[03:49] <Jordan_U> aaronm, Do any bootable CD's work?
[03:49] <TrisMcC> milllmannn: If your IP is <IP_ADDRESS>, and it is a normal 192.168 network, then 192.168.51 is not on the same network.
[03:50] <milllmannn> ok, im restarting to check
[03:50] <milllmannn> ill know in about 10 seconds
[03:50] <TrisMcC> milllmannn: you do not have to
[03:50] <kitche> ptn107: umm liblame gives you mp3 support for anything really since it's the mp3 encoder/decoder
[03:50] <TrisMcC> milllmannn: It take effect immediately
[03:50] <aaronm> Jordan_U, XP did not that long ago
[03:50] <ptn107> kitche: gracias
[03:50] <Jordan_U> aaronm, Check just to be sure if you have one on hand
[03:51] <aaronm> Jordan_U, it's also a fairly new DVD burner...I also tried and older CDrom drive (only one plugged in at a time)
[03:51] <milllmannn> IT WORKS!
[03:51] <milllmannn> cool
[03:51] <Jordan_U> rynb1n, Yes I did, when X won't start go to a terminal ( ctrl+alt+F2 ) and run this, choose "fglrx" as the driver when asked: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh && sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[03:51] <TrisMcC> milllmannn: Nice.
[03:51] <aaronm> Jordan_U, alright...back shortly
[03:51] <Dalton> milllmannn, grats!
[03:51] <TrisMcC> milllmannn: For future reference, if you change the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf, you do not have to reboot.
[03:51] <milllmannn> but why would it point to a different DNS server?
[03:52] <milllmannn> i didnt set it up any different than i normally would
[03:52] <TrisMcC> milllmannn: Maybe your computer is possessed.,
[03:52] <Nutubuntu> TrisMcC,  aren't they all?
[03:52] <milllmannn> ill assume that for now, thanks dudes!
[03:52] <TrisMcC> milllmannn: No Problem.
[03:53] <navets> hey I need some help with my router
[03:53] <CppIsWeird> is there a linux firewall that blocks and allows based on application?
[03:53] <TrisMcC> navets: Specifics?
[03:53] <TrisMcC> CppIsWeird: I do not know of any.
[03:53] <navets> TrisMcC: well the same ethernet cabel connecting to my laptop wont work on my friends
[03:53] <TrisMcC> CppIsWeird: I hate those things :)
[03:53] <CppIsWeird> TrisMcC, good for you.
[03:54] <TrisMcC> navets: Sounds very vague.
[03:54] <unagi> is there a way to flip which way the icons sit on the desktop?
[03:54] <TrisMcC> navets: Bad network card?
[03:54] <gregorygreg> how do i switch from nautilis to another wm, such as ICEWM?
[03:54] <khin> hi im trying to run utorrent with wine. however i followed the howtos and when i start utorrent i just get a bunch of errors & it doesnt load. actually, it loaded the first time but now doesnt.
[03:54] <TrisMcC> unagi: I do not think so. You can rearrange it yourself.
[03:54] <navets> TrisMcC: well I have tested it on more then 1 laptop
[03:54] <unagi> TrisMcC yea i was more or less looking for it to do it when i clean up by name
[03:54] <navets> TrisMcC: and I just formated my computer, which use to work with internet, but now it wont work
[03:55] <TrisMcC> navets: Do you get a link light?
[03:55] <navets> TrisMcC: but the internet works on all of the computers if I dont take the ethernet through the router and go straight from the modem
[03:55] <bruenig> khin, it is pretty straight forward,  you sudo apt-get install wine, and then do wine utorrent.exe
[03:55] <navets> TrisMcC: yes I get a link light
[03:55] <bruenig> there is no other setup
[03:56] <khin> yeah it is easy, except it doesnt work
[03:56] <Eckse> How do I do the MD5 thing to check and make sure my .iso downloaded proper?
[03:56] <bruenig> works here and has worked in 3 different distros across many versions
[03:56] <bruenig> odd
[03:56] <khin> well, i dont know. it did work the first time i ran wine but
[03:56] <TrisMcC> navets: Do you have an IP address?
[03:56] <Jordan_U> gregorygreg, Nautilus isn't a WM, it's a File Manager, to switch from metacity you usually do something like: < Window manager name > --replace
[03:57] <misnix> md5sum filename.iso
[03:57] <matt__> Hi, I installed ubuntu on /dev/sba, then connected my xp drive, /dev/sda.   My bios is set to boot to grub, how do I add a section to enable grub to boot to XP ?
[03:57] <bruenig> khin, did you get the installed one?
[03:57] <khin> now it just says stuff like "err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {304ce942-6e39-40d8-943a-b913c40c9cd4} not registered"
[03:57] <Eckse> misnix: what do i compare the result to?
[03:57] <navets> TrisMcC: it cant resolve the ip address
[03:57] <bruenig> khin, did you get the standalone or install I meant to ask
[03:57] <Jordan_U> matt__, Run: sudo update-grub
[03:57] <gregorygreg> what can I replace nautillis with
[03:57] <orbisvicis> anyone having built flumotion know how to generate default.pem ?
[03:57] <khin> standalone
[03:58] <Jordan_U> gregorygreg, pcmanfm  is nice
[03:58] <bruenig> khin, oh I always did install, maybe that is the difference
[03:58] <khin> hmmm. well ill try install.
[03:58] <nickrud> matt__, you mean that ubuntu is now sdb?
[03:58] <TrisMcC> navets: It does not seem Ubuntu related.
[03:58] <matt__> Jordan_U:  update-grub has not added any option for XP, should it have ?
[03:58] <khin> it said use standalone on the howtos i believe.
[03:58] <TrisMcC> navets: when you do a "dmesg", does your card show up?
[03:59] <bruenig> khin, yeah they do, I think that is just because they don't want to explain to you what to do after you get it installed
[03:59] <matt__> nickrud: yes, sorry, sdb
[03:59] <unagi> anyone here using AWN or avant window navigator?
[03:59] <gregorygreg> what about if I want to get rid of thosepanels and configur  my toolbars diffreently like with a kicker menu or something
[03:59] <nickrud> matt__, no, my misunderstanding, you're further along than I read
[03:59] <misnix> eckw there's the problem ;-p   what version?
[03:59] <navets> TrisMcC: sorry I have to go thanks for the help
[03:59] <TrisMcC> navets: Later.
[03:59] <nickrud> matt__, you can add a stanza to /boot/grub/menu.lst by hand, a sec
[03:59] <CppIsWeird> is there a linux firewall that blocks and allows based on application?
[03:59] <unagi> why are you sick of it
[03:59] <matt__> and in grub ubuntu is hd(0,0)
[04:00] <Eckse> How do I check the MD5 thing from windows? What do I compare the result to?
[04:00] <khin> so this thing says its installing in c:/something... what does that mean
[04:00] <matt__> what is the significance of hd(0,0)
[04:00] <khin> under wine
[04:00] <Jordan_U> matt__, Then if you only have two drives windows will be hd(1.0)
[04:00] <bruenig> khin, ~/.wine/drive_c
[04:00] <matt__> hd(disk,part) ?
[04:00] <khin> oh
[04:00] <Jordan_U> matt__, First partition on the first drive
[04:00] <Jordan_U> matt__, Yes
[04:00] <misnix> Eckse, what version ubuntu?
[04:01] <nickrud> matt__, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29057/ that should work for you
[04:01] <Gast174> Hey guys
[04:01] <banlieue> anyone know of any proper icons to replace the default menubar icon with?
[04:01] <khin> nope. installer runs, then when i try to run program i get a list of errors
[04:01] <banlieue> I know how to change it, just don't know where to find a fancier icon :)
[04:01] <ubuntusaurus> Hello. I need help resizing my ext3 partition. When I right-click on the ext partition, the resize option is there but I can't increase the size.. I can only decrease.. This is a screenshot of my GParted showing the partitions [04:02] <ubuntusaurus> http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/1866/screenshotpn1.png
[04:02] <Gast174> Anyone want to do a pokerth match?
[04:02] <bruenig> khin, the program gets installed, you have to run it from the Program Files
[04:02] <nickrud> Eckse, you can get md5sum.exe off the net, and the website you downloaded from should have the md5sum to compare
[04:02] <matt__> nickrud: thanks, but ubunto is hd(0,0), so surely I'll need something other for xp.
[04:02] <Jordan_U> matt__, Then if you only have two drives windows will be hd(1.0)
[04:03] <matt__> Jordan_U: thanks.   well, here goes.... :)
[04:03] <tannerld> how can one restart nautilus?
[04:03] <Dalton> Eckse, fsum is a command line tool to check SHA-1 and MD5 + lots others. or there is just an MD5 one done by Nero that is free (both are for windows)
[04:03] <misnix> Eckse, try http://ftp.tiscali.nl/ubuntu-releases/7.04/MD5SUMS
[04:04] <Jordan_U> tannerld, killall nautilus && nautilus?
[04:04] <Eckse> ok
[04:04] <bruenig> close nautilus and then reopen it
[04:04] <nickrud> matt__, I could have swore you said ubuntu was sdb, but no never mind:  change that to hd(1,0) , and grub> map (hd0) (hd1) grub map (hd1) (hd0)
[04:04] <unagi> does anyone here run maya on ubuntu by chance?
[04:05] <banlieue> anyone know of any proper icons to replace the default menubar icon with?
[04:05] <ubuntusaurus> unagi: I don't think Maya works on Debian. It'll work on Fedora and RedHat.
[04:05] <CppIsWeird> is there a linux firewall that blocks and allows based on application?
[04:06] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, no
[04:06] <nickrud> banlieue, proper?
[04:06] <unagi> thats what i hear....i can get it to start
[04:06] <banlieue> nickrud: proper as in good looking
[04:06] <unagi> but space bar locks it up
[04:06] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, you know this for fact?
[04:06] <pukeko> how can i get my dapper to detect new nics ?
[04:06] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, yes
[04:06] <banlieue> nickrud: the ubuntu icon is boring, i'm hoping to replace it with something fancier
[04:06] <nickrud> banlieue, ah, well the debian swirl is nice ;)
[04:06] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, why wouldent there be?
[04:06] <banlieue> nickrud: where at, though? :)
[04:06] <unagi> is there an rpm distro that is similar to ubuntu?
[04:06] <bronson> Is it possible to host packages on a CD-ROM over HTTP?  Gutsy's repo is utterly horked right now, and the machine I'm trying to install it on has no CD-ROM.
[04:07] <banlieue> ah, debian.com/logos :]
[04:07] <nickrud> banlieue, as distributor-logo.png in the theme
[04:07] <Jordan_U> unagi, Similar in what way?
[04:07] <Dalton> CppIsWeird, because ports are easier and more customizable.
[04:07] <banlieue> .org even
[04:07] <bronson> How can I serve the Tribe2 CD-ROM over HTTP?
[04:07] <unagi> i dont really know the differences between ubuntu and redhat to answer that Jordan_U
[04:07] <VIrUZ__> can i play UrT using ubuntu ?
[04:07] <bruenig> lol
[04:07] <CppIsWeird> Dalton, how so? if i trust an application, i allow everything, and if an application i didnt know was accessing the internet, i can say deny all.
[04:07] <emet> how do you sort things alphabetically in command line
[04:07] <bruenig> unagi, what are you looking for he means, easy configurability, brown desktop or what
[04:08] <bruenig> what is similar to you
[04:08] <unagi> ok what are the major differences between linux flavors
[04:08] <banlieue> now to find something to replace the gnome-foot with
[04:08] <banlieue> unagi: just about everything, depending on what you install how
[04:08] <ubuntusaurus> Can I get help resizing my ext3 partition, please? I'm not able to increase the size
[04:08] <Dalton> CppIsWeird, because firewalls aren't *generally* written for home users. Get a hardware firewall to do that, a simple linksys should do what you want.
[04:08] <bruenig> unagi, the main differences distro to distro is bundled apps and package management
[04:08] <banlieue> unagi: you should check out wikipedia's OS comparison
[04:09] <CppIsWeird> Dalton, a hardware firewall does not do that.
[04:09] <unagi> so basically you can configure any linux flavor to be like the other
[04:09] <bruenig> unagi, bundled apps and package management
[04:09] <unagi> other than package wise
[04:09] <pukeko> how do i detect and configure new network cards?
[04:09] <Eckse> yay, i have the same md5sum
[04:09] <banlieue> unagi: how is this question relevant, exactly?
[04:09] <bruenig> unagi, since you can compile everything yourself, yeah, you can build your own linux distribution if you want
[04:10] <Dalton> CppIsWeird, one second. I am pretty certain I have a D-Link here that does just that.
[04:10] <Tama00> hello
[04:10] <CppIsWeird> Dalton, then you are not understanding what i am asking then.
[04:10] <nickrud> CppIsWeird, as far as I can tell, having that app  by app permission is a last gasp attempt to keep spyware and such from compromising your system.
[04:10] <Jordan_U> pukeko, If they are supported then you it will happen automatically
[04:10] <Tama00> i want to install ubuntu onto a software raid without the alternative cd
[04:10] <Nutubuntu> CppIsWeird,  what *are* you asking, then?
[04:10] <unagi> how would i go about partitioning the hard drive to where the linux partition is split in 2 for an rpm distro
[04:10] <CppIsWeird> is there a linux firewall that blocks and allows based on application?
[04:10] <EvilDennisR> Alright.. How about this: Who can recommend a nice relatively inexpencive PCI wifi card that will work after I install it in this machine?
[04:10] <Tama00> i figured i could just install it to an empty parition, configure the raid and copy all the files over then chroot into ubuntu and set up the grub
[04:10] <Dalton> CppIsWeird, you want to allow certain programs access but not others.
[04:10] <misnix> Eckse, and next you compare the long hex string ;-p
[04:10] <Tama00> would this work?
[04:11] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, no, no, no, no
[04:11] <bruenig> next 4 attempts are pre answered
[04:11] <CppIsWeird> Dalton, yep, and a hardware firewall does not do that.
[04:11] <Tama00> someone help me
[04:11] <pukeko> Jordan_U; discover lists them - says modules are already installed - but ifconfig eth0 sez 'no such device"
[04:11] <telejedi> hi there! please: how can i add another sudo-user to my system by shell-command?
[04:11] <bruenig> Tama00, yes
[04:11] <Nutubuntu> Hm ... so I was understanding just fine then. Okay, onward.
[04:12] <Dalton> CppIsWeird, I am certain I have a router that does just that. I've used it before, but since you are so hell-bent on saying a hardware firewall doesn't do that, I won't bother turning it on so I can tell you 110% that it does.
[04:12] <nickrud> telejedi, sudo adduser <user> admin
[04:12] <bruenig> pukeko, edit /etc/sudoers with visudo
[04:12] <Tama00> bruenig: neat:D:D:D:D
[04:12] <bruenig> telejedi, , edit /etc/sudoers with visudo
[04:12] <CppIsWeird> Dalton, thank you.
[04:12] <Tama00> bruenig: how do i copy and presver all the permission?
[04:13] <bruenig> Tama00, no clue there, but I know that in theory it can work
[04:13] <bruenig> Tama00, extract the iso and check to see if it looks like it has sane permissions, if it does then it probably preserved them already
[04:13] <nickrud> Tama00, there's a howto on tldp.org about changing hard drives, that should give you some pointers
[04:13] <Nutubuntu> Tama00,  from partition to partition? directory to directory?
[04:14] <telejedi> nickrud, bruenig: thank you - can i use it in a way to add a 2d sudo-user with the home-dir of my first one?
[04:14] <Hirvinen> telejedi: I believe the relevant group is admin. So it would be usermod -a admin USER
[04:14] <Tama00> Nutubuntu: directory to dircetory
[04:14] <bruenig> telejedi, 2d?
[04:14] <Hirvinen> telejedi: Or maybe adm
[04:14] <unagi> does linux even have a partitioner?
[04:14] <Hirvinen> Maybe both.
[04:14] <Hirvinen> !gparted
[04:14] <ubotu> GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[04:14] <stoned> what
[04:14] <Nutubuntu> Tama00,  tar ...
[04:14] <bruenig> !fdisk
[04:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fdisk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:15] <bruenig> !info fdisk
[04:15] <Hirvinen> unagi: See above
[04:15] <ubotu> Package fdisk does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[04:15] <ElTimbalin1> Hi, I know there is a link to three lines I enter into the terminal which will then make Ubuntu find and mount all my partitions on start up. Can anyone send me in the right direction? The closest I have found was: at    	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[04:15] <unagi> so basically Hirvinen it doesnt come natively installed
[04:15] <orbisvicis> anyone know how to generate a .pem file with openssl ?
[04:15] <stoned> parted cfdisk fdisk blah blah
[04:15] <bruenig> unagi, use fdisk
[04:15] <bruenig> or cfdisk
[04:15] <bruenig> I use cfdisk generally
[04:15] <nickrud> telejedi, hm, you can't really, each user has a numeric identity, and must be unique. files are actually owned by numbers, not names
[04:15] <moyer> i have two soundcards installed.. one is usb connected. ive set my system wide sounds to USB and everything local plays fine and uses the usb audio, however when i stream any media through firefox with flash plugin it uses the other soundcard.. anyone have any clue as to why its doing this?
[04:16] <bruenig> telejedi, all you have to do is edit /etc/sudoers and add this: username    ALL=(ALL) ALL
[04:16] <bruenig> now he is able to sudo
[04:16] <ubuntusaurus> Do I need to use the GParted Live CD in order to resize my ext3 partition? At the moment I'm running GParted from Ubuntu Live.
[04:16] <Hirvinen> unagi: I don't know.
[04:16] <Nutubuntu> Tama00,  cd to the source directory, then 'tar cf - . | (cd /the/target/directory; tar xvf -)'    without the quotes marks
[04:17] <unagi> !gparted
[04:17] <ubotu> GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[04:17] <ubuntusaurus> Can I get some help, please?
[04:17] <Jordan_U> ubuntubeginz, No, gparted from the LiveCD works fine
[04:17] <Nutubuntu> ubuntusaurus, what with?
[04:17] <telejedi> nickrud: ah - ok - i see & will try it ...
[04:18] <nickrud> ubuntusaurus, as long as the partition is not mounted ..
[04:18] <Hirvinen> ubuntusaurus: Not spesifically a gparted live cd, but resizing a mounted partition is risky(and I don't think Ext3 even supports that), so if that partition is used by the system, you should use some live cd. But don't the ubuntu install cd's have at least some partitioner on them.
[04:18] <ubuntusaurus> How do I know if its mounted?
[04:18] <nickrud> Hirvinen, yes, and it works for most people. It screwed up mine, though.
[04:18] <Hirvinen> *cds
[04:18] <ElTimbalin1> ubuntu cd if run live has it under admin.
[04:18] <Nutubuntu> ubuntusaurus,  mount
[04:19] <nickrud> ubuntusaurus, type mount and it will tell you all
[04:19] <ubuntusaurus> /dev/sda2 on /media/disk type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=222,utf8)
[04:19] <ubuntusaurus> /dev/sda4 on /media/disk-1 type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[04:19] <ubuntusaurus> /dev/sda1 on /media/Windows Booter type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=222,utf8)
[04:19] <unagi> !dvd
[04:19] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[04:19] <ubuntusaurus> This means its mounted?
[04:19] <nickrud> yup
[04:19] <Hirvinen> !paste | ubuntusaurus
[04:19] <ubotu> ubuntusaurus: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:19] <ubuntusaurus> Okay
[04:19] <ubuntusaurus> How do I unmount it?
[04:20] <nickrud> sudo umount
[04:20] <ubuntusaurus> sudo: unmount: command not found
[04:20] <ubuntusaurus> :S
[04:20] <moyer> umount
[04:20] <moyer> not un
[04:21] <CppIsWeird> is there a linux firewall that blocks and allows based on application?
[04:22] <rolfen> ubuntusaurus u can use apropos to find commands... example "apropos unmount"
[04:22] <ubuntusaurus> I unmounted it. But when I ran Gparted again, it mounted it again
[04:22] <rolfen> CppIsWeird yeah
[04:22] <rolfen> CppIsWeird what exactly do you want to do?
[04:22] <ProN00b> does anyone know how i can change the resolution of the terminals ? (the ones you get with ctrl+alt+f*)
[04:22] <SlimG> What file should I edit instead of /etc/resolv.conf since that file is autogenerated by networkmanager and shouln't be touched?
[04:22] <nickrud> moyer, try your question, a lot of people are stumpted by the questions, and need a doable one :)
[04:22] <CppIsWeird> i dont know, get a linux firewall... that blocks and allows... based on application.
[04:22] <eck> ProN00b: you can't change them without running a screen buffer
[04:23] <rolfen> CppIsWeird ok i get it
[04:23] <ProN00b> eck, a what ?
[04:23] <bruenig> SlimG, it can be touched, networkmanager touches it
[04:23] <rolfen> CppIsWeird uh lemme check i'm not so sure anymore
[04:23] <eck> ProN00b: you need to compile your own kernel with a virtual screen buffer, try reading the gentoo wiki if you want to attempt it
[04:23] <moyer> nickrud lol
[04:23] <ubuntusaurus> Hirvinen, Nutubuntu: I unmounted it. But when I ran Gparted again, it mounted it again
[04:23] <eck> ProN00b: it's sort of a pita, just use a regular terminal ;-)
[04:23] <banlieue> i love pita
[04:23] <banlieue> with cheese and hot sauce
[04:23] <ProN00b> eck, that doesn't sound like the ubuntu solution
[04:23] <nickrud> SlimG, I believe you can specify a dns for an interface in network manager
[04:23] <ProN00b> there must be a easyer way
[04:24] <eck> i don't think so, they're managed by the kernel, not in userspace
[04:24] <moyer> i just need to configure firefox's plash plugin to use my USB audio card instead of my PCI card but i cant find much information on the issue
[04:24] <SlimG> bruenig: It has a comment in it that states that it shouldn't be edited directly (I guess the changes will be lost the next time networkmanager generates /etc/resolv.conf)
[04:25] <rolfen> CppIsWeird I dont know... here let me ask the channel for you
[04:25] <SlimG> nickrud: I forgot to mention I'm on CLI
[04:25] <Jordan_U> ProN00b, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer
[04:25] <rolfen> Guys is it possible to make iptables rules match a process?
[04:25] <moyer> haha
[04:25] <eck> CppIsWeird: i don't think netfilter has that kind of capability
[04:25] <nickrud> SlimG, no clue where network-manager stores that stuff
[04:25] <eck> netfilter is the kernel firewall
[04:25] <moyer> bahhhh
[04:25] <bruenig> SlimG, they will be lost next time but no problem seeing if you can fix it, if so you can always disable network manager or do some other thing to work around
[04:25] <rolfen> CppIsWeird i wonder if there's an iptables modules for that
[04:25] <iW0rK> Hey can anyone help?
[04:25] <CppIsWeird> sure, but can one not trace back an attempted connection to find what application is making it?
[04:25] <erider> I have a 32 bit program I want to run on Amd64.  I've found some info on google but it still doesnt help
[04:26] <flyinprogramer> :)
[04:26] <nickrud> SlimG, do you need network manager? it seems like you're setting up a server, so you can go static
[04:26] <rolfen> CppIsWeird i know there's a module to match users...
[04:26] <rolfen> CppIsWeird but dont know about processes
[04:26] <intelikey> yea nay ????
[04:27] <SlimG> nickrud: I'm setting up dnsmasq on a desktop and need to add localhost to /etc/resolv.conf
[04:27] <SlimG> bruenig: I would prefer to do it the "right" way
[04:27] <CppIsWeird> it wouldent really need to be on the iptable level, only on the connections initialization, a program picks up and finds out what application is attempting to make it, and then on the iptable level, set an allow or deny rule?
[04:28] <bruenig> SlimG, there is no right way, networkmanager is not god, it errs
[04:28] <Dalton> CppIsWeird, use ZOneAlarm. it does what you want it to.
[04:28] <bruenig> SlimG, I don't use any such thing, but manage it all via command line
[04:28] <intelikey> i never get an inteligent answer from this channel.
[04:28] <intelikey> well i did one time.
[04:28] <CppIsWeird> Dalton, Zonealarm on linux?
[04:28] <intelikey> but that was long ago.
[04:28] <Dalton> CppIsWeird, nope.
[04:29] <CppIsWeird> Dalton, the OS in question is linux. thanks for trying.
[04:29] <rolfen> CppIsWeird you can match the PID with the owner module
[04:29] <nickrud> SlimG, I'm using dnsmasq right now; I use it in conjunction with resolvconf and /etc/resolv.conf is handled transparently. I turn on network manager
[04:29] <cheeseboy> how do i patch kernel?
[04:29] <nickrud> *off
[04:29] <intelikey> maybe every body knows me well enough to ignore me now ?
[04:29] <rolfen> see owner in man iptables
[04:29] <intelikey> i could ramble like this for a while and see
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> Ignore. That was it. I knew there was a command ... cool.
[04:29] <Dalton> intelikey, everyone here is a volunteer. no one here is an Ubuntu developer. Be patient, not all answers can be answered here.
[04:29] <rolfen> CppIsWeird now the question is how to relate PID to the process name
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> somafm, intelikey, you've solved my question ... what's yours?
[04:30] <Nutubuntu> ^ so-anyhow- intelikey ... etc.
[04:30] <intelikey> Dalton i'm a violenteer too and three days is more or less patient
[04:30] <intelikey> wouldn't ya think ???
[04:30] <unagi> so if i split the ex3 partition of my ubuntu partition it wont delete anything right?
[04:30] <rolfen> CppIsWeird ow you can...
[04:30] <Dalton> intelikey, that means that no one knows, not that people are ignoring you.
[04:30] <banlieue> intelikey: violence is not the solution
[04:30] <rolfen> CppIsWeird it is possible to match the process name with the owner match
[04:30] <intelikey> banlieue what violence ?
[04:30] <rolfen> again see man iptables and look for "owner"
[04:31] <SlimG> nickrud: So I can edit /etc/resolv.conf without fearing that the setting will be lost when networkmanager generates a new resolv.conf ?
[04:31] <banlieue> intelikey: i'm sorry, I thought you said you were a "violenteer"
[04:31] <Pelo> unagi,  if you resize then make a new one from the unalocated area it shouldn'T backup important data anyway
[04:31] <astro76> intelikey, iirc, once lilo is installed to mbr it doesn't require any files to remain anywhere
[04:31] <intelikey> astro76 k thanks.
[04:31] <Jordan_U> intelikey, You might need it for kernel upgrades though
[04:31] <unagi> nothin important on here just alot of time and effort lol
[04:32] <nickrud> SlimG, turn off network manager (there's instructions somewhere) or remove it completely. Network manager is really nice for laptops (so I hear, it gives me fits)
[04:32] <unagi> all linux runs ex3 right?
[04:32] <rolfen> CppIsWeird example: iptables -A filter -m owner --owner-cmd process_name
[04:32] <intelikey> but that is a bit misleading.  after lilo is installed if you do anything with the vmlinux or the initrd.img* it wont boot.
[04:32] <Pelo> unagi, ext3 is the current prefered FS yes
[04:32] <banlieue> unagi: linux runs whatever you install on it, ext3 is merely default
[04:32] <CppIsWeird> rolfen, hmm, interesting, i will look into that.
[04:32] <astro76> intelikey, indeed :p
[04:32] <Jordan_U> intelikey, Try moving it then running: "sudo lilo" and see if it re-writes to the MBR correctly ( be ready to chroot in from a LiveCD if it doesn't )
[04:32] <intelikey> now does anyone know how to manually unpack and repack an initramfs image
[04:32] <kmcq__> why do i not see the ubuntu loading screen (before the login screen) when i boot up (feisty)
[04:33] <unagi> linux would run on ntfs?
[04:33] <banlieue> unagi: yep, but not perfectly
[04:33] <CppIsWeird> rolfen, now how to get every application that is attempting to establish a connection? is there an event for this? I am not a linux programmer.
[04:33] <unagi> interesting
[04:33] <banlieue> ntfs is meant for Windows
[04:33] <intelikey> Jordan_U on each execution of lilo it writes /boot/map   even though there is nothing in /boot
[04:33] <nickrud> SlimG, install resolvconf, it should take the dns you get from dhcp on your desktop, hand it off to dnsmasq, and put localhost in /etc/resolv.conf It's a tried & true solution
[04:33] <banlieue> one could wonder why you would want to run NTFS on linux to begin with
[04:34] <rolfen> CppIsWeird you can use the owner match to log packets
[04:34] <Jordan_U> unagi, Only if it were running from a virtual file system ( like an iso file ) on the NTFS partition
[04:34] <rolfen> CppIsWeird with the LOG match
[04:34] <Pelo> banlieue,  no accounting for some wierdos
[04:34] <rolfen> CppIsWeird sorry i mean the LOG target
[04:34] <Jordan_U> unagi, NTFS does not support UNIX permissions
[04:34] <unagi> i just really need to run maya......is there a preferred flavor of linux for maya to run?
[04:34] <banlieue> unagi: did you try Wine yet?
[04:34] <intelikey> i need to fix my initramfs image.   it drops me into a busybox shell   where i have to issue   mknod /dev/root b 3 1    and exit  for it to boot the system
[04:34] <johnnytang24> how do you check disk usage using ubuntu 7?
[04:34] <larson9999> thank goodness the riaa made me take a good look at free content.
[04:34] <nickrud> unagi, does the maya site have a recommendation?
[04:34] <gregorygreg> hey everyone I'm tired of the gnome panels
[04:34] <rolfen> CppIsWeird that is if you succeed in enabling the owner match
[04:34] <banlieue> that's not a flavour of linux, but emulation rather
[04:34] <intelikey> now does anyone know how to manually unpack and repack an initramfs image
[04:35] <gregorygreg> is there anything I can use to replace3 them?
[04:35] <unagi> dunno havent really looked lol
[04:35] <Jordan_U> johnnytang24, GUI or terminal?
[04:35] <banlieue> I bet the Maya team would be the best people to ask, unagi
[04:35] <johnnytang24> Jordan_U : terminal
[04:35] <Jordan_U> johnnytang24, df
[04:35] <nickrud> unagi, ;)
[04:35] <johnnytang24> df doesn't show /
[04:35] <Jordan_U> johnnytang24, du
[04:35] <Jordan_U> ?
[04:35] <CppIsWeird> rolfen can you PM me ?
[04:35] <moyer> moyer@moyerbox:~$ cat /proc/asound/modules
[04:35] <moyer>  0 snd_intel8x0
[04:35] <moyer>  1 snd_usb_audio
[04:36] <johnnytang24> that's odd that du wouldn't show /
[04:36] <rolfen> CppIsWeird OK
[04:36] <moyer> if i set usb audio to 0 will it be used in firefox?
[04:36] <banlieue> unagi: you could also stick with Windows, of course
[04:36] <johnnytang24> mount doesn't show / as being mounted either
[04:36] <unagi> then i wouldnt have shake
[04:36] <ant-> johnnytang24: 'df /'
[04:36] <banlieue> but Maya would work well
[04:36] <banlieue> and so would NTFS
[04:36] <nickrud> moyer, no, you'd need to set some options in /etc/modprobe.d somewhere to have that changed
[04:36] <unagi> who cares about ntfs
[04:36] <moyer> nickrud : thank you
[04:37] <unagi> lol
[04:37] <johnnytang24> ant- : thanks.
[04:37] <johnnytang24> since when did df need a path?
[04:37] <banlieue> the superior solution is having two computers, though :]
[04:37] <banlieue> alternative would be dual-boot
[04:37] <unagi> why does dvd playback on linux have to be so difficult
[04:37] <banlieue> (be sure to install Windows first)
[04:37] <banlieue> dvd playback on linux isnt difficult.. ?
[04:37] <Ricket> I keep having problems with flash stuff causing Firefox to crash; has anyone solved this problem? For instance, I can only watch a few youtube videos and then firefox freezes and I have to force quit it... It is so annoying, cause I love flash!!
[04:37] <nickrud> moyer, alsa is the word, alsa-project.org is the place
[04:37] <unagi> is for me...
[04:37] <thechris> unagi: vlc?
[04:37] <intelikey> i thought i had it.  but something i missed....  http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/37996
[04:37] <kyo2142> Hello I am trying to install ndiswrapper and it says in a missing the build for 2.6.20-16-386 could any one tell me what this means
[04:37] <banlieue> if it is, you could also consider Windows
[04:37] <moyer> nickrud : haha gotcha. appreciate it.
[04:37] <kmcq__> why do i not see the ubuntu loading screen (before the login screen) when i boot up (feisty)
[04:38] <madman91> HOW can i install a ssh server onto a windows box so i can remotely login to it.. without cygwin
[04:38] <SlimG> !dvd unagi
[04:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dvd unagi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:38] <SlimG> !dvd | unagi
[04:38] <ubotu> unagi: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[04:38] <unagi> yea i followed those
[04:38] <unagi> doesnt work
[04:38] <unagi> banlieue you arent very nice
[04:38] <banlieue> unagi: you could also try Easyubuntu
[04:38] <Jordan_U> unagi, It has to be so difficult because the U.S. DMCA is idiotic
[04:38] <banlieue> it's not recommended normally, because it apparently can screw up some stuff
[04:38] <unagi> you could try holding the power button for 4 second banlieue
[04:38] <banlieue> but it's very easy
[04:38] <unagi> or ctrl alt shift 6 and stare at the screen
[04:38] <kmcq__> guys...
[04:39] <SlimG> unagi: try running this to see if kaffeine recognize dvd codecs:kaffeine -w
[04:39] <thechris> unagi: as mentioned, just get vlc.  its the only thing that i could get to work in ubuntu
[04:39] <kmcq__> anyone...
[04:39] <Ricket> unagi: Or try Ubuntu Studio? Maybe that includes DVD stuff?
[04:39] <banlieue> unagi: i'm merely giving you some friendly advice
[04:39] <unagi> friendly isnt the word id use
[04:39] <bruenig> banlieue, it is a bad idea to suggest things like that for a support room because if it screws up we have no idea why and since we recommended it we are kind of on the hook
[04:39] <Jordan_U> unagi, What player are you using?
[04:39] <banlieue> bruenig: hence my disclaimer ;P
[04:39] <bruenig> whereas if we give him a command, he can tell us what happened
[04:39] <kmcq__> why the hell am i not seeing the damn loading screen.....
[04:39] <unagi> movie player
[04:39] <unagi> but installing gxine made it workj
[04:40] <CppIsWeird> rolfen, not responding in mp
[04:40] <unagi> curious as to why there is a movie player with xine backend if you still have to install gxine
[04:40] <Jordan_U> unagi, So it is working?
[04:40] <CppIsWeird> *pm
[04:40] <unagi> it is now Jordan_U thanks
[04:40] <kmcq__> wow does no one know?
[04:40] <Jordan_U> unagi, Ubuntu comes with totem-gstreamer not totem-xine
[04:40] <banlieue> kmcq__: apparently not
[04:40] <thechris> I figured I come here for info.  I cannot get the following to work:  kaffiene, k3b, pcsx.  kaffiene doesn't play any media file.  k3b has errors writing cd-r.  pcsx segfaults.
[04:40] <jmchaffie> well, I kinda feel dumb here, but after everything I've done, I've gotten samba all set... now I can't figure out how to network my two ubuntu boxes together.
[04:40] <kmcq__> great.
[04:40] <intelikey> kmcq__ which loading screen ?
[04:41] <banlieue> kmcq__: are you talking about the usplash, by the way?
[04:41] <intelikey> what app ?
[04:41] <kmcq__> no im talking about before the login
[04:41] <banlieue> the loading screen before you get your login screen?
[04:41] <jmchaffie> I've read up on the help pages, but I'm confused as to what to do. so many choices, none make sense as to sharing a folder between machines?
[04:41] <kmcq__> like when you load kernal after your bios
[04:41] <intelikey> !usplash | kmcq__
[04:41] <ubotu> kmcq__: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[04:41] <banlieue> yea, that's your usplash

[04:41] <kmcq__> banlieue: why am i not seeing it at all?
[04:42] <banlieue> kmcq__: did you install KDE recently?
[04:42] <kmcq__> isnt it included by default?
[04:42] <banlieue> it is, it never displayed?
[04:42] <kmcq__> no, i just installed ubuntu a few days ago
[04:42] <jmchaffie> Is there a particular package / ip colution to networking between ubuntu machines?
[04:42] <rolfen> CppIsWeird are you getting my PMs?
[04:42] <banlieue> that's odd, indeed
[04:42] <kmcq__> and i am ye to see that uspalsh thing
[04:42] <intelikey> kmcq__ could be any of several reasons.  first guess is that you changed the  'vga=' line  ?
[04:42] <jmchaffie> *solution
[04:42] <CppIsWeird> rolfen: nope
[04:42] <kmcq__> intelikey,  no, i dont believe so
[04:42] <SlimG> unagi: If you didn't receive the message last time: try running this to see if kaffeine recognize dvd codecs:kaffeine -w
[04:42] <banlieue> !usplash > kmcq__ (check your PM, kmcq__)
[04:43] <intelikey> kmcq__ grep vga /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:43] <kmcq__> the only thing that ive changed was for default depth bits (changed from 16 to 24)
[04:43] <rolfen> CppIsWeird weird i just got ur first PM
[04:43] <kmcq__> ok banlieue
[04:43] <rolfen> then nothing
[04:43] <intelikey> kmcq__ that's xorg has nothing what so ever to do with usplash
[04:43] <kmcq__> ok
[04:43] <CppIsWeird> rolfen, strange.
[04:43] <rolfen> CppIsWeird what i was saying in the PM box is that you can do something like
[04:43] <thechris> see, thats exactly why i like gentoo over ubunutu.
[04:43] <kmcq__> so why am i not seeing my usplash at all, ive never seen it at all, even after fresh install... lol
[04:43] <rolfen> iptables -A -m owner --owner-cmd processname -m limit 1/minute -j LOG
[04:44] <banlieue> thechris: what is?
[04:44] <kmcq__> do i need to enable it to see it?
[04:44] <seraph47> hi i need to login as root to change the permissions of a m3u fot it to not run as an executable, how do i do that?
[04:44] <intelikey> kmcq__ grep vga /boot/grub/menu.lst   <<<< run that
[04:44] <banlieue> gentoo and ubuntu aren't really too comparable imo
[04:44] <kmcq__> ok
[04:44] <thechris> in #ubunutu, everyone just replies with !keyword
[04:44] <CppIsWeird> rolfen, join #thisisaroomforsilenceorsomething
[04:44] <rolfen> CppIsWeird using the limit match so that you dont flood your logs
[04:44] <unagi> now im out of things to complain about
[04:44] <unagi> LINUX ROCKS!
[04:44] <banlieue> thechris: it saves time
[04:44] <banlieue> unagi: wb to the dark side
[04:44] <kmcq__> ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
[04:44] <nickrud> thechris, because 9 times out of 10, that doc is what they need
[04:44] <intelikey> kmcq__ if it outputs one line show me      if more than one, don't flood the channel
[04:44] <unagi> what is the most popular rpm distro?
[04:45] <CppIsWeird> rolfen, make that just #thisisaroomforsilence
[04:45] <intelikey> kmcq__ is that the only one
[04:45] <jmchaffie> anyone have info regarding networking two ubuntu boxes?
[04:45] <rolfen> CppIsWeird ah ok
[04:45] <thechris> maybe I should restate.  this is why _I_ like gentoo over ubunutu
[04:45] <kmcq__> intelikey,  lets talk in pm, it will be easier
[04:45] <nickrud> thechris, someday the docs here might be as good as gentoos, though.
[04:45] <zero-9377> is there a way to access ubuntu via windows RDP, i have a thin client and it can only connect via RDP or citrix and i would like to use it as a thin client with fluxbox, or even just CLI terminal
[04:45] <banlieue> thechris: lol surely that's not the biggest difference you find in between gentoo and ubuntu? ;)
[04:45] <intelikey> kmcq__ not for me it wont
[04:45] <kmcq__> fine
[04:45] <kmcq__> yes thats the only line
[04:45] <unagi> gentoo uses kde yes?
[04:46] <Ex-Cyber> gentoo uses whatever the admin installs
[04:46] <eck> unagi: it is window manager agnostic
[04:46] <kyo2142> i am having problems installing and get ndiswrapper running, plz PM me
[04:46] <banlieue> gentoo's a lot more "advanced" than ubuntu
[04:46] <kmcq__> intelikey,  yes its the only line
[04:46] <intelikey> kmcq__ ok then the reason is because the initramfs image is not starting framebuffering and the link from ubotu will tell you how to fix it    "maybe"
[04:46] <unagi> so gentoo can start with gnome?
[04:46] <eck> yes
[04:46] <thechris> banlieue: no, i do have other differences.  in gentoo things take forever to compile, but end up working.  in ubuntu, things quickly install and don't work, leaving you to try to find help on IRC with a bunch of people scanning messages for keywords to !help with.
[04:47] <banlieue> if you install gnome on it
[04:47] <intelikey> !usplash > kmcq__
[04:47] <kmcq__> intelikey,  so any idea why it was broken to being with?
[04:47] <Jordan_U> kmcq__, Try changing it to 769 ( 640x480 8 bit ), that might be a "safer" mode
[04:47] <banlieue> thechris: see, and here you were saying the !keywords was the only difference :P
[04:47] <jmchaffie> no actually I am only looking to find a way to share files, such as using samba (which I have setup just fine) between two ubuntu boxes as opposed to an ubuntu and a windows box
[04:47] <moyer> http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/MultipleCards#How_to_choose_a_particular_order_for_multiple_installed_cards
[04:47] <moyer> im on the right track :P
[04:47] <eck> thechris: that's ridiculous, i've had far, far, more applicatins compile in broken ways on gentoo than you'll find in the repositories
[04:47] <intelikey> kmcq__ i don't call not starting framebuffering "broken"  so no
[04:47] <kmcq__> ok, im on a laptop with a poor gfx card, migith explain it
[04:47] <eck> or not even compile at all
[04:47] <banlieue> thechris: would you find it better if we were to type the exact same lines over and over again instead of having the bot do it?
[04:47] <Jordan_U> kmcq__, Because hardware manufacturers love to break standards.
[04:48] <intelikey> kmcq__ yes indeed that could explain it.
[04:48] <kalenedrael> Hi guys. I am trying to install Ubuntu 7.04 on some laptop with a CD-ROM drive in a docking module. The installer is somehow able to load certain kernel modules, but none of the modules it loads can detect the CD-ROM drive and make it usable.
[04:48] <Ex-Cyber> I was quite put off by the general Gentoo idea that if something breaks, and is subsequently fixed by randomly re-emerging things, it wasn't a bug
[04:48] <seraph47> ant_:i cant pm, but how would i change permissions from the command line
[04:48] <unagi> is gentoo deb or rpm
[04:48] <thechris> banlieue: yes.  because maybe then people would ask what the problem is instead of seeing a keyword and appending ! to it.
[04:48] <banlieue> you do need to realise ubuntu has a lot more generic/basic questions because it's a lot more accessible
[04:48] <intelikey> seraph47 change perms for a file or dir with   chmod
[04:48] <nickrud> unagi, it's source, so neither. You'll learn gobs if you try it
[04:48] <thechris> i swear ubotu isn't the only bot here
[04:48] <kmcq__> intelikey,  is there a file i can modify to allow me to see the usplash?
[04:48] <Nopalin> hello, is there a program that i can use to sinchronize blackberry in ubuntu?
[04:49] <Ex-Cyber> unagi: gentoo uses its own management system called Portage, which is somewhat inspired by the BSD ports systems
[04:49] <unagi> im confused beyond belief
[04:49] <banlieue> so there will be a lot more questions that can be answered in bulk
[04:49] <Jordan_U> unagi, No, it uses portage
[04:49] <banlieue> saves us time, saves them time
[04:49] <intelikey> kmcq__ look at the message from ubotu
[04:49] <banlieue> unagi: what's up?
[04:49] <unagi> so rpm maya wouldnt run on gentoo
[04:49] <kmcq__> ok
[04:49] <banlieue> unagi: have you checked their website yet?
[04:49] <kalenedrael> I have tried booting with 'noapic' and 'nolapic', as well as some of the other options that seemed would help.
[04:49] <seraph47> intelikey: would it also change permissions for all files of its type across the board? im trying to change m3u files so that they are not executable
[04:49] <banlieue> unagi: i'd imagine they know which OS it runs best on
[04:50] <intelikey> seraph47 there is a switch for recursive
[04:50] <thechris> don't get me wrong, gentoo is a broken pos half the time.  But i just hate it when things don't work and the only remedy is to seek help from !keyword.
[04:50] <banlieue> thechris: if the !keyword doesn't fix it, the person gets helped further without keywords
[04:50] <seraph47> intelikey: im srry not sure what you mean by that
[04:50] <Jordan_U> unagi, If they only distribute in in an RPM then they probably package it for Red Hat, have you tried alien?
[04:50] <jmchaffie> Guys, I've tried the website and help, but other than iFolder I don't see what I'm supposed to use, and iFolder says it doesn't work right. Can anyone help me out?
[04:50] <banlieue> thechris: so I do feel you're being difficult for no apparent reason here :]
[04:51] <intelikey> seraph47 if you need more specific changes i sujest   find ./ -type f -iname *.ogg -exec chmod -644 \;         or something like that.
[04:51] <intelikey> seraph47 man find     man chmod
[04:51] <strk> !lts
[04:51] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[04:51] <unagi> yea i tried alien and i can get it to open but when you push space bar it locks everything
[04:51] <kalenedrael> I am able to boot into and use some Linux live CDs and install CDs, such as DSL and an old FC3 install CD.
[04:51] <seraph47> intelikey: k thanks
[04:52] <kalenedrael> Where might I find the necessary modules for this CD-ROM? Is there a different fix?
[04:52] <Jordan_U> kalenedrael, Might be a difference between 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels
[04:52] <intelikey> seraph47 and one note on that.    find requires the end char  \;  if you use the -exec   but not if you dont.    it is a bit confusing.
[04:52] <thechris> so, i can't play media in kaffiene.  i can't play media in mplayer.  I can play media in VLC.  I can play media in "movie player"
[04:52] <kalenedrael> Jordan_U, I have only tried systems that use 2.6.x kernels.
[04:52] <thechris> what is the ! for that?
[04:52] <Jordan_U> kalenedrael, DSL uses 2.4
[04:52] <jmchaffie> Ok thanks anyway.
[04:53] <thechris> !somemediaplayersworksomedont
[04:53] <intelikey> find ./ -type f -iname *.ogg -exec chmod -644 '{}' \;   <<<< an acutal working example.
[04:53] <banlieue> thechris: there isn't one, hence you don't get helped with one... isn't that excellent? (was that a serious question by the way?)
[04:53] <kalenedrael> Jordan_U, ok, I was not aware of that. I am fairly sure FC3 uses 2.6.x, though.
[04:53] <nickrud> thechris, a silly question, but you have installed the w32codecs?
[04:53] <banlieue> I do think you need to get over the keywords and over yourself
[04:53] <thechris> nickrud: yes.  but no media works in mplayer/kaffiene
[04:53] <seraph47> intelikey: and in that example it would find all ogg files and make them not executable?
[04:53] <banlieue> the keywords are used for often-asked questions, and that's why most people are not helped with a !keyword
[04:53] <thechris> banlieue: yes, one of my 3 questions
[04:54] <Cailen> hey can anyone help me with my synaptic package manager................................ it says   E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 34 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list E: The list of sources could not be read.Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[04:54] <Jordan_U> thechris, Have you tried the sample media that comes with Ubuntu, if it plays then it is a codec issue
[04:54] <madman91> does anyone know an ssh server?
[04:54] <madman91> for windwos
[04:54] <Bill2222> Looking for help with mounting ext usb drive under VM 6.1 on a windows box. Anyone? Using VMServer I have checked IOMEGA under VM/Removable devices but when I run fdisk -l it does not show.
[04:54] <nickrud> thechris, odd. No media? Personally, I find some won't in those, but will in others. More a matter of the file than the player.
[04:54] <intelikey> seraph47 yes, and make them read write  for the owner and read only for every one else
[04:54] <SlimG> thechris: run this check to see if kaffeine recognizes any codecs on the system: kaffeine -w
[04:54] <Jordan_U> Cailen, Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[04:54] <intelikey> seraph47 one other note.   dirs have to be executed
[04:54] <Cailen> ?
[04:54] <banlieue> both VLC and media player use their own codecs
[04:54] <seraph47> intelikey: k ima try that out thanks
[04:54] <banlieue> the other two programs do not
[04:54] <zero-9377> anyone using xrdp on feisty?
[04:55] <Cailen> wut do you mean jordan_U
[04:55] <banlieue> hence it's likely a codec issue, thechris
[04:55] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | Cailen
[04:55] <ubotu> Cailen: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:55] <intelikey> find ./ -type d -exec chmod -755 '{}' \;   <<<< an acutal working example for dirrectories.
[04:55] <intelikey> seraph47 ^
[04:55] <Cailen> so i paste that in the terminal after wget
[04:55] <Cailen> ??
[04:55] <thechris> banlieue: hmm.  well, i've installed the codecs per !codecs or such.
[04:55] <Cailen> im new
[04:55] <banlieue> really?
[04:55] <MajorPayne> madman91: http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/ or cygwin.
[04:55] <banlieue> !codecs > banlieue
[04:55] <thechris> next up.  I'm in gentoo right now because I needed to burn a CD
[04:55] <Jordan_U> Cailen, open the file /etc/apt/sources.list and pastebin its contents
[04:55] <madman91> MajorPayne: sshwindows is a mini cygwin install.. and my cygwin is retarded
[04:56] <banlieue> you have to switch to gentoo to burn a cd?
[04:56] <madman91> MajorPayne: i cant uninstall it
[04:56] <banlieue> so, it doesn't work in ubuntu then?
[04:56] <thechris> is there a ! for "k3b has errors writing cds"
[04:56] <Cailen> i dont know where that file is
[04:56] <banlieue> thechris: are you on KDE?
[04:56] <thechris> banlieue: in gentoo, yes.  and in ubunut as well.
[04:56] <Jordan_U> Cailen, "getdit /etc/apt/sources.list" in a run dialog or terminal will open it
[04:56] <MajorPayne> madman91: Ohh.  Then I don't know.  I don't run Windows.  I just know about it.
[04:56] <intelikey> madman91 cygwin retarded ?  surely you jest !   :)
[04:57] <madman91> intelikey: i cant uninstall it
[04:57] <banlieue> thechris: I know very little about k3b, you could also try #kubuntu for that
[04:57] <madman91> intelikey: and it has lodged itself in the registry
[04:57] <SlimG> thechris: What kind of cd are you trying to burn? does it fail during burning?
[04:57] <madman91> MajorPayne: i dont use it either.. but i have to get this to work
[04:57] <Jordan_U> madman91, What are you trying to do?
[04:58] <thechris> SlimG: i had issues with a data CD.  DAO and TAO fail.  each suggesting I retry with the other
[04:58] <madman91> Jordan_U: i want to install ssh onto my windows box..
[04:58] <Jordan_U> madman91, putty
[04:58] <madman91> Jordan_U: sorry, ssh server
[04:58] <banlieue> thechris: did you try different software?
[04:58] <intelikey> madman91 lol    no doubt.    sorry though i don't do windows.  haven't been forced to set down in front of windows but twice in 7 years
[04:58] <madman91> Jordan_U: putty is only a client
[04:58] <unagi> ok mandrake it is
[04:58] <thechris> banlieue: k3b works in gentoo.  so yes.
[04:58] <Cailen> Jordan_U it says the command getdit is not found
[04:58] <madman91> intelikey: me neither.. but i am stuck with it now..
[04:58] <Jordan_U> madman91, cygwin probably allows that
[04:58] <unagi> er mandriva
[04:58] <unagi> !mandriva
[04:58] <ubotu> Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems)
[04:58] <banlieue> thechris: did you try different software in the same environment (kubuntu)?
[04:58] <Jordan_U> Cailen, sorry, it's gedit
[04:58] <Cailen> o
[04:58] <madman91> Jordan_U: yes.. but its not working..
[04:59] <thechris> banlieue: no.  k3b is my prefered application.
[04:59] <Jordan_U> madman91, ##windows ?
[04:59] <MajorPayne> madman91: There is a #cygwin channel.  Maybe they can help to.
[04:59] <banlieue> thechris: you should try different software to see if that would work
[04:59] <Cailen> now what do i do to be able to fix and use my synaptic package manager
[04:59] <edson> somebody for user gkrellm?
[04:59] <madman91> Jordan_U: they arent a very bright bunch :) after all.. they are using windows
[05:00] <madman91> Jordan_U: but seriously.. no answers in there
[05:00] <madman91> banlieue: i was just kidding.. linux is about choice.. if you choose windows. thats fine with me
[05:00] <Jordan_U> Cailen, Please pastebin the contents of the file so that we can find out what is wrong
[05:00] <Cailen> k
[05:00] <SlimG> madman91: Nice to see you here too (I'm one of the #ubuntu-no participants ;) )

[05:02] <madman91> SlimG: he hey!!
[05:02] <banlieue> well then, back to business.. any questions lost in the flood?
[05:02] <adamonline45> how do I find out my kernel version?
[05:02] <johnnytang24> uname
[05:02] <Jordan_U> adamonline45, uname -r
[05:02] <intelikey> seraph47 not \   \;  has to be the   \;   end line char
[05:02] <adamonline45> Jordan_U: ty
[05:02] <b_9> I have a dell inspiron m1710 running ubuntu 7.04.  When I click the power button in the upper right hand corner of the screen it doesn't initially list suspend.  I have to close it and click it again then I get some additional options...what gives?
[05:02] <Jordan_U> adamonline45, np
[05:02] <intelikey> seraph47 and you can ctrl+c to kill it
[05:03] <intelikey> ^C
[05:03] <seraph47> intelikey: gotcha, i was getting a flood of error msgs
[05:03] <kmcq> intelikey,  i changed vga to 781 for 640x480 and it still dindt work
[05:04] <intelikey> kmcq did you enabel usplash as per the web page instructions ?
[05:04] <mo0osah> How do I go about installing ubuntu on a notebook with ATI card
[05:04] <Cailen_> Jordan_U here is the address
[05:04] <Cailen_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29062/
[05:04] <mo0osah> it cannot even load up the live cd
[05:04] <kmcq> intelikey,  no i didnt see about enabling it, maybe i didnt read enough oops
[05:04] <Cailen_> sorry about the flooding
[05:04] <nickrud> Jordan_U, it's the same thing ;)
[05:04] <kmcq> !usplash > kmcq
[05:04] <intelikey> mo0osah very carefully.   it's not so fun as on well supported hardware.
[05:04] <Jordan_U> !automatix | Cailen_
[05:04] <ubotu> Cailen_: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[05:04] <ziroday> !alternate | mo0osah
[05:04] <ubotu> mo0osah: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[05:04] <adamonline45> I'm planning to compile a new kernel for Ubuntu Server 6.06.  Any suggestions on the latest, stable kernel version?  I see linux-<IP_ADDRESS> is the latest, latest, according to www.kernel.org...  Will that work without problems or should I stick to what I'm using now, 2.6.15-26-server?
[05:05] <Jordan_U> Cailen_, Did you modify your sources.list?
[05:05] <Cailen_> i dont even have automatix
[05:05] <Ricket> What is the default password for root in ubuntu?
[05:05] <Cailen_> so i cant use the synaptic package manager anymore?
[05:05] <mo0osah> !minimal
[05:05] <ubotu> The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[05:05] <Jordan_U> Cailen_, No, it is easy to fix
[05:05] <intelikey> !root > Ricket
[05:05] <Cailen_> o
[05:05] <Cailen_> k
[05:05] <PurpZeY> adamonline45: For a server I think 16 is ok. Some people had minor hardware problems with 16 but I think they were fixable and adjusted with the newer versions and headers
[05:05] <inx-one> !root } Ricket
[05:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about root } ricket - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:05] <Cailen_> wut next
[05:05] <Jordan_U> Cailen_, I am curious how it happened though
[05:05] <inx-one> !root | Ricket
[05:05] <ubotu> Ricket: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[05:05] <adamonline45> PurpZeY: Okay, sounds good! ty!
[05:05] <seraph47> intelikey: thanks for your help but its not working, ill mess with it again tomorrow, and ill prolly make a thread in the forums. thanks for all your help
[05:06] <intelikey> Ricket short answer is there isn't one
[05:06] <Cailen_> well i was trying to install automatix2 but was having problems so i stopped
[05:06] <Ricket> well that's nice to know, but I am being asked for the password of the mysql database's administrative user
[05:06] <khin> hi i just installed utorrent on wine. how i run this from wine's program files
[05:06] <Cailen_> i guess i changed the .list thingy or wutever
[05:06] <Jordan_U> Cailen_, Run: "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and remove the lines you added for Automatix
[05:06] <Ricket> and i use sudo mysql to get to the mysql console, so i figured i would have to type the root password in that box
[05:06] <mo0osah> intelikey: It's weird how my notebook with ATI X300 works fine with everything (beryl, composite, etc...) and my roommate has ATI X1400 can't even load the live cd ....
[05:06] <intelikey> seraph47 welcome.   and when you get the right syntax it works i use those commands togather a lot.
[05:06] <kmcq> intelikey,  im not seeing where it says 'enable usplash'
[05:07] <kmcq> only stuff about adding a custom theme to alternatives
[05:07] <intelikey> !usplash | kmcq
[05:07] <ubotu> kmcq: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[05:07] <kmcq> intelikey, im not trying to use a custom uspalsh
[05:07] <kmcq> just the default
[05:07] <intelikey> so do the last half of the command
[05:07] <moyer> if i make changes to modprobe.d is restart required?
[05:07] <intelikey> after the &&
[05:08] <nickrud> Cailen_, and http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29063/ is a guide for how you should edit it
[05:08] <kmcq> ok
[05:08] <Jordan_U> mo0osah, That is because your card is supported by the open source drivers, his are only supported by ATI's horrible fglrx drivers
[05:08] <edson> somebody user gkrellm?
[05:08] <Ex-Cyber> mo0osah: there is a huge difference between x300/600/800 and X1300/1600/1900 etc... there is some preliminary X.Org code to work with the latter but it's too new to be in a release
[05:08] <nickrud> Cailen_, missed one thing: lines 31 & 31, remove the # at the beginning
[05:08] <Cailen_> i fixed it... thanx everyone
[05:09] <Cailen_> i just deleted everthing with the words automatix in it
[05:09] <Cailen_> and it works
[05:09] <intelikey> this happens every time.    i ask for help and end up answering a thousand questions for others and no help on my issue.     oh well.
[05:09] <Jordan_U> Cailen_, No problem, you are lucky, if it hadn't failed you would have run Automatix :)
[05:09] <Cailen_> whew
[05:09] <nickrud> Cailen_, you have mixed sources there, with edgy and feisty, and some things commented out that shouldn't be.
[05:09] <Cailen_> haha
[05:09] <Nutubuntu> Things are looking up :)
[05:09] <Cailen_> so anything else i need to do
[05:09] <nickrud> Cailen_, so keep fixing :)
[05:10] <Cailen_> wut else needs fixing?
[05:10] <Cailen_> i just got ubuntu yesterday
[05:10] <Cailen_> first time with linux
[05:10] <PurpZeY> Jordan_U: I know what the general view is on automatix, but what is it *intended* to do?
[05:11] <nickrud> Cailen_, anywhere with edgy, change to feisty.
[05:11] <Cailen_> k hold on
[05:11] <PurpZeY> Jordan_U: It's enough for me that the channel doesn't support it, I'm just curious.
[05:11] <Ricket> How do I restart the mysql service/daemon?
[05:11] <nickrud> Ricket, sudo invoke-rc.d mysql restart
[05:11] <pukeko> how do i change eth2 to eth0 ? the /proc/net/dev  won't let me edit it ..
[05:12] <Jordan_U> PurpZeY, Basically it is supposed to let you install a bunch of applications that new users tend to install, and make some modifications that they think some people might want
[05:12] <Ricket> nickrud: thanks!
[05:12] <nickrud> pukeko, you'd do that in /etc/network/interfaces
[05:12] <PurpZeY> Jordan_U: Got it. Thanks.
[05:12] <Cailen_> k i changed all the edgy to feisty
[05:13] <Cailen_> anything else that needs changing?
[05:13] <nickrud> Cailen_, ok, where it say's universe? add multiverse to the end, and remove the # at the beginning
[05:13] <Cailen_> so erase universe completely
[05:13] <nickrud> Cailen_, no add multiverse
[05:13] <Ex-Cyber> so are the release codenames intentionally going alphabetically since Dapper or is that just a coincidence?
[05:13] <Cailen_> k
[05:13] <Cailen_> hold on
[05:14] <dr_willis> Ex-Cyber,  just wait for Humping Hippo!
[05:14] <nickrud> Ex-Cyber, it was warty, hoary, breezy, dapper, etc. so maybe now
[05:14] <pukeko> nickrud: i do not have a eth0 or eth1 only eth2 and eth3 - i want to refer to these in the interfaces file as eth0 and 1 respectivly
[05:14] <technel> Hi. Is it possible to use xbindkeys[-config]  to map my keyboard PLAY (media) button to a command? (I'm NOT using GNOME/KDE.)
[05:14] <PurpZeY> dr_willis: It's Hungry Hippo...come on now
[05:14] <dr_willis> PurpZeY,  it was F... oh wait..  Fawn..
[05:14] <dr_willis> :)
[05:14] <dr_willis> Flaculant Fawn
[05:14] <Cailen_> k, then delete the # in the very front of those lines as well?
[05:15] <bruenig> technel, depends if it shows up or not when you hit it, sometimes keys don't
[05:15] <wapityyy> Hey, is it possible to use export command and to choose the address of what we wish to export ?
[05:15] <nickrud> pukeko, hm, just changing the interface name might be all you need, there's some kind of mapping to hardware that goes on. I've never looked
[05:15] <nickrud> Cailen_, yes
[05:16] <Cailen_> k
[05:16] <dr_willis> wapityyy,  Huh?
[05:16] <nickrud> technel, I used to use a utility called hotkeys for mapping
[05:17] <Cailen_> thanx, anything else nickrud?
[05:17] <khin> hi i tried to install utorrent on wine but it wont run. it just gives a bunch of errors
[05:17] <wapityyy> dr_willis, im looking to choose the address of the string i want to export in the stack
[05:17] <khin> when i run wine /myutorrentdir/utorrent.exe
[05:17] <nickrud> Cailen_, ok, one more. feisty-security universe, add multiverse and remove the # (2 lines)
[05:18] <nickrud> Cailen_, you may have done that already, just want to be sure
[05:18] <Jordan_U> Cailen_, Just as some final advice, be weary of blogs and automatic scripts, and always check help.ubuntu.com first if you have any questions, there are a lot of bloggers that give advice to get page hits but don't really know what they are doing themselves
[05:18] <pukeko> nickrud: i would like to do that only /proc/net/dev file will not allow me to edit it even with a chmod
[05:18] <Cailen_> k thanx
[05:18] <Cailen_> is that all
[05:19] <pukeko> nickrud: i can live with eth2 and 3 but will have to change my iptables scripts
[05:19] <nickrud> pukeko, that's not where you change it, that's read only I believe. It reports what the system has been set up as.  Make the change to the interfaces file, then invoke-rc.d network restart
[05:20] <nickrud> pukeko, er networking
[05:20] <nickrud> Cailen_, put it back up on the pastebin, so I can check
[05:20] <jimmygoon> Can someone help me make this short script into an executable shell script: http://pastebin.ca/608180
[05:20] <pukeko> nickrud: ok i'll change the interfaces scrip brbt
[05:20] <pukeko> *brb
[05:21] <Cailen_> k
[05:21] <Cailen_> hold on
[05:21] <dr_willis> jimmygoon,  othjer then 'chmod +x' it? :) ya mean
[05:21] <jimmygoon> dr_willis, no i meant conditional structures in the script
[05:21] <jimmygoon> I wrote it but am not sure on some of the syntax
[05:21] <Radical> I'm trying to use gparted to manipulate my partitions but it won't let me delete or resize any of the partitions.
[05:22] <bruenig> jimmygoon, you going for bash?
[05:22] <nickrud> Radical, are they mounted?
[05:22] <Cailen_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29064/
[05:22] <Cailen_> there it is nickrud
[05:22] <dr_willis> jimmygoon,  check the advanced bash scripting guide for info/examples - is what i always do
[05:22] <nickrud> Cailen_, k
[05:22] <jimmygoon> bruenig, I don't know gnome-terminal :P
[05:22] <jimmygoon> dr_willis, google?
[05:22] <dr_willis> !abs
[05:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about abs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[05:23] <jimmygoon> ah
[05:23] <Radical> It says I can't unmount them.
[05:23] <dr_willis> !find  advanced
[05:23] <Cailen_> is it all good
[05:23] <nickrud> Radical, you can't work on mounted partitions
[05:23] <ubotu> File advanced found in irmp3, libargtable2-dev, procmail, wims
[05:23] <bruenig> jimmygoon, http://pastebin.ca/608183
[05:23] <Cailen_> nickrud, does it look good
[05:23] <Cailen_> or is there anything else
[05:23] <Radical> nickrud, okay.  I'll see what I can find on google to unmount them.
[05:23] <nickrud> Cailen_, yup. Now, in a terminal, type    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade   (do this because you had mixed sources there)
[05:24] <nickrud> Cailen_, of course, save the sources.list first ;)
[05:25] <Linkerator> Radical I'd reccoment you just use the Gparted liveCD or Ubuntu liveCD to add/edit partitions
[05:25] <Linkerator> Excuse my typoes, funky keyboard
[05:25] <Cailen_> so after it finishes is that all nickrud
[05:26] <bruenig> jimmygoon, does that work?
[05:26] <nickrud> Cailen_, then you're good to go, with a lot more software available.
[05:26] <jimmygoon> bruenig, give me a sec
[05:26] <Radical> Linkerator, how would I do it from the livecd?

[05:27] <jimmygoon> thanks!
[05:27] <Linkerator> Radical, yes
[05:27] <Radical> Okay. Thanks!
[05:28] <wapityyy> wow! i reinstalled compiz and incridibly it didnt destroy my x !
[05:28] <Megaqwerty> wapityyy: lol, congratulations.
[05:28] <wapityyy> :) thx
[05:28] <user01> what do i select for the xorg driver for a HERCULES 3D PROPHET II GTS PRO 64MB?  nv or vesa?
[05:29] <dr_willis> well nv is for nvidia cards...
[05:29] <dr_willis> vesa is normally a safe fall back for most any card
[05:29] <jimmygoon> bruenig, one quick question, in the 'if' conditional, why were the var names in quotations?
[05:29] <Linkerator> user01, it is Nvidiabased, so nv
[05:29] <user01> dr_willis: it has an nv core i think this card
[05:29] <nickrud> how old is that card, anyway
[05:29] <wapityyy> any GNAA member in here?
[05:29] <Linkerator> geforce 2-based
[05:30] <PurpZeY> GNAA?
[05:30] <wapityyy> PurpZeY, google it
[05:30] <moyer> nickrud : I GOT IT
[05:30] <nickrud> it's just, hercules, I thought the went away years ago. The were my first good card
[05:30] <moyer> YES
[05:30] <bruenig> jimmygoon, there are two meanings of quotes in bash, the " which allows for expansion of variables and ' which is a literal. Sometimes you can get away with not using quotations but often times you will get bad results
[05:30] <moyer> thanks for your help i appreciate it
[05:30] <nickrud> moyer, eh, great
[05:30] <user01> Linkerator: thanks it selected vesa by default
[05:30] <PurpZeY> wapityyy: Oh I know what it is, I'm in it, I'm just wondering why you are blowing up our spot all over the channel.
[05:30] <PurpZeY> Hehehe
[05:30] <jimmygoon> bruenig, thanks a bunch!
[05:30] <nickrud> moyer, I slink away from sound issues, I just know those names :)
[05:30] <PurpZeY> I kid.
[05:30] <moyer> hahah
[05:31] <wapityyy> lol... uh
[05:31] <wapityyy> k
[05:31] <moyer> tha answer was SO simple it was easily overlooked
[05:31] <Linkerator> user01, no problem
[05:31] <PurpZeY> bruenig: did you get my msg?
[05:31] <robby> well its offical, you guys are my best friends

[05:40] <ytoox> hi, do you know of a good wysiwyg web page bulder for linux?
[05:40] <PurpZeY> !html
[05:40] <ubotu> html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build webpages. Editors in Ubuntu: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem, and Nvu. For howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com
[05:40] <Megaqwerty> ytoox: Nvu is a good one.
[05:40] <ytoox> I tried it, but I get kinda confused
[05:40] <Megaqwerty> ytoox: however, it hasn't been developed in a while, so get Kompozer
[05:40] <kismet> Any suggestions on creating a password protected rar / tar from a folder ?

[05:51] <ubotu> There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit
[05:51] <tainaki> MajorPayne: i really dunno what caused it but wheneva i try to start ubuntu it takes me to the black background command prmpt kinda place. I was running Feisty.
[05:52] <jimmygoon> Do the routers hurt the packets, and damage them, because the irc application should encapsulate a packet to where its not possible for this to occur - does these bad routers strip the encapsulation or what?
[05:52] <nickrud> weas3l, the best I know of is k3b, and install libk3b2-mp3 for burning
[05:52] <MajorPayne> tainaki: Is there an error message?
[05:53] <weas3l> libk3b2-mp3 in synaptic then nickrud?
[05:54] <weas3l> cause i'm using k3b for data files already...
[05:54] <nickrud> weas3l, yes, it's in universe
[05:54] <dr_willis> jimmygoon,  ive seen some sites taht detail it.. some how its the routers  'security' kicking in wrongly.
[05:54] <DFM> When I install kubuntu for the times I feel like running KDE and do the updates, I loose the ability to resize, move, shrink or close a program that is running.
[05:55] <DFM> I have to kill it to get rid of it
[05:55] <dragonx> hi there, i'm trying to get a higher resolution on my video card that is not listed in xorg.conf
[05:55] <dr_willis> jimmygoon,  i rember ages ago one could do a Modem ATDT command and hang people up on IRC
[05:55] <dragonx> could someone walk me through modifying xorg.conf?
[05:55] <dragonx> thanks
[05:55] <adamonline45> hahaha atdt
[05:55] <jimmygoon> dr_willis, jeez you'd think that stuff would be better worked out
[05:55] <dfgas> can i get the game not the server of call of duty to work in linux
[05:56] <tainaki> MayPayne: well it says Sarting up...Loading plz wait..... kinit:name_to_dev.....(lots of stuff) then knit: No resume image, doing normal boot...then it takes me to desktop login. By the way i am typing this msg from a different comp.
[05:56] <JCFiala> dragonx: I don't know much about xorg.conf, but from my limited futzing around with it, step one is making a backup copy of how it looks now.
[05:56] <dragonx> JCFiala, yes i made a backup thanks.. hehe
[05:57] <DFM> I have removed kubuntu but the problem persist. I haven't been able to resolve it and have reloaded twice. I would really like to figure out what is wrong. I haven't had this problem with 6.06 or 6.10
[05:57] <orbisvicis> can someone help me with a flumotion error?: posted http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29065/
[05:57] <Ex-Cyber> dr_willis: was there a register or AT command to enable commands from the remote side? I know I used to see stuff that did the "+++" (if memory serves) string to try to disrupt people but I never had a problem with it
[05:57] <tainaki> MajorPayne:  well it says Sarting up...Loading plz wait..... kinit:name_to_dev.....(lots of stuff) then knit: No resume image, doing normal boot...then it takes me to desktop login. By the way i am typing this msg from a different comp.
[05:57] <DFM> I haven't been successful in searching the net probably because I don't know what I am looking for. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it.
[05:59] <tainaki> MajorPayne: is there any simple command i can type to take it to the previous state. Everything was fine some hours ago.
[05:59] <dr_willis> Ex-Cyber,  yea. :) that was it.. i dident want to say it. Heh

[05:59] <theBishop> ubuntu is mounting my ipod as "disk"  i've messed with the partitions a bit.  can anyone tell me where the mounter looks to determine that the connected drive is an ipod?
[05:59] <Supaplex> isn't ubuntu another kind of windows? weird.
[06:00] <MajorPayne> tainaki: Did you do anythnig major to the system?
[06:00] <portofu> what? can you pass your crackpipe?
[06:00] <sxsilver> Hello
[06:00] <dr_willis> Oh wait.. thats not crack.. thats Draino!
[06:00] <dr_willis> :0
[06:01] <robby> i took a xanax
[06:01] <DFM> I am not asking for help with M$ I have the certs for that, I am using ubuntu which works unlike M$ lol
[06:01] <Supaplex> well bug 1 says microsoft has a major market share. what's wrong with ubuntu?
[06:01] <sxsilver> I can't seem to get my sound to work properly I was wondering if anyone had this issue before.....it seems to work until I play a game or video then it doesn't work until I reboot
[06:02] <dr_willis> sxsilver,  interesting..  tryed different video players?
[06:02] <dr_willis> sxsilver,  run them from the terminal, see if any error messages show up also.
[06:02] <madman91> is there a way to increase the size of an ext3 partition?
[06:02] <sxsilver> Tried to play just about everything
[06:02] <sxsilver> even when I play games with sound
[06:02] <dr_willis> madman91,  gparted can resize them. I normally just add a new hd. and shift things around with the mountpoints for /home and so forth
[06:03] <sxsilver> video's in firefox do it as well
[06:03] <dr_willis> sxsilver,  even kde or gnome native games?
[06:03] <tainaki> MajorPayne: i was trying to install gstreamer this morning. I shut down n turned on this evening and that is what i'm getting. as for the error msg that is wat exactly i'm getting.
[06:03] <Linkerator> Madman91: Either use the Ubuntu livdCD or gparted liveCD and start Gparted to resize the partition you want
[06:03] <amicrawler> hey guys i think i got a root kit or a virus
[06:03] <sxsilver> The one ones I really play with sound are neverball and open arena
[06:03] <sxsilver> only*
[06:03] <jimmygoon> neverball++
[06:03] <Jordan_U> amicrawler, Why do you think that?
[06:03] <jimmygoon> !open arean
[06:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about open arean - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:03] <amicrawler> my web browser keeps coming up with all this
[06:03] <jimmygoon> !open arena
[06:03] <PurpZeY> amicrawler: virus is highly unlikely.
[06:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about open arena - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:04] <amicrawler> weard stuff
[06:04] <jimmygoon> amicrawler, not likely
[06:04] <madman91> dr_willis + Linkerator: can i shift the position of current partitions?
[06:04] <amicrawler> not normal behavor
[06:04] <amicrawler> or knoqur
[06:04] <dr_willis> madman91,  dont think so. at least not easially
[06:04] <madman91> dr_willis + Linkerator: the gparted on the ubuntu cd didnt want to..
[06:04] <MajorPayne> tainaki: I don't know.  Maybe someone else can help you.
[06:04] <tainaki> MajorPayne: is there any way i can just restore to a previous state?
[06:04] <dr_willis> madman91,  thers limits as to what it can do depending on your partition layout
[06:04] <amicrawler> it  keeps coming up with  key borad commands  in the browser
[06:05] <madman91> dr_willis: .. darn.. fat32 could but not ext3?
[06:05] <dr_willis> amicrawler,  make a new user.. see if the issue affects them also.
[06:05] <jimmygoon> amicrawler, how so? what do you mean "coming up with"
[06:05] <MajorPayne> tainaki: Not really.  Unless you created backups.
[06:05] <amicrawler> like goto a web page and then  i get g then h  in yellow
[06:05] <jimmygoon> amicrawler, where? on the pag?
[06:05] <jimmygoon> amicrawler, screenshot?
[06:05] <amicrawler> yes
[06:05] <JCFiala> I apologize if this is something in the commonQuestions, but I don't see it there.  My mousewheel isn't doing any scrolling in kbuntu - do I need to delve into xorg.conf, or is there a configuration screen I'm missing?
[06:05] <dr_willis> madman91,  not sure what ya mean.. I think gpared has issues with  moving space from extended to/from logical partitions.
[06:05] <dr_willis> abd primaries
[06:05] <amicrawler> how to i make a snap shot
[06:06] <phreck_> is there a repo for aircrack?
[06:06] <phreck_> anyone know?
[06:06] <dr_willis> !find aircrack
[06:06] <ubotu> Found: aircrack, aircrack-ng
[06:06] <Linkerator> The print screen button takes screenshots
[06:06] <phreck_> or shoulod i just get the packages and manually install
[06:06] <jimmygoon> amicrawler, press the screenshot key on your keyboard, save it, adn upload to imageshack.us and paste the link here
[06:06] <Megaqwerty> phreck_: it's in the repository
[06:06] <jimmygoon> !screenshot
[06:06] <ubotu> Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr]  button or the File -> Acquire menu in the GIMP.
[06:06] <dr_willis> !info aircrack
[06:06] <ubotu> aircrack: wireless WEP/WPA cracking utilities (transitional package). In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.6.2-7ubuntu1.1 (feisty), package size 9 kB, installed size 48 kB
[06:06] <phreck_> Megaqwerty, which one
[06:06] <jimmygoon> JCFiala, likely xorg.conf
[06:06] <tainaki> MajorPayne: i dun think i did. Well thanx for ur time. I guess i'll just reinstall it
[06:06] <JCFiala> Thank you.
[06:06] <Megaqwerty> phreck_: the ubuntu repositories.
[06:06] <jimmygoon> JCFiala, is it a laptop or a usb/other mouse?
[06:06] <Megaqwerty> preck_: Just search in synaptic for it.
[06:06] <jimmygoon> JCFiala, always try googling ubuntu + model_no of your mouse
[06:06] <phreck_> Megaqwerty, so just use synaptics?
[06:06] <amicrawler> i did and nothing happend when i pressed screen shoot
[06:06] <Paddy_EIRE> dr_willis, I can crack wifi encryption with that package
[06:07] <Megaqwerty> phreck_:yeah
[06:07] <Pucpuc> question, if i install ubuntu on my secondary IDE drive and install grub on my primary Sata drive will it boot up grub?
[06:07] <phreck_> does it install the drivers to? or just the frontend
[06:07] <JCFiala> It's a desktop mouse.  It's usb, although I have it in a PS/2 adaptor to go through a KVM switch that's PS/2 based.
[06:07] <di> hi, gnome boots really slowly for me even on a core 2 duo t5600
[06:07] <Megaqwerty> phreck_: It installs the entire suite
[06:07] <di> 21 seconds without any startup programs
[06:07] <K`zan> Can someone tell me where to find libmp3lame.so ?
[06:07] <phiqtion> i recently installed Ubuntu, and THEN XP, the NTFS is not mounting properly, how can i auto-mount it on startup and now?
[06:08] <K`zan> I think I need a special repository ?!?
[06:08] <Megaqwerty> phreck_: I'd suggest getting aircrack-ng as opposed to the regular aircrack though.
[06:08] <jimmygoon> amicrawler, you on gnome?
[06:08] <K`zan> TIA!
[06:08] <phreck_> yea
[06:08] <phreck_> i did
[06:08] <amicrawler> nope kde
[06:08] <jimmygoon> amicrawler, oh, do you have gimp?
[06:08] <meme_> Anybody in here have or had a ATI radeon 9200 agp card? And if So , do you have any advice?
[06:08] <amicrawler> yes
[06:08] <jimmygoon> !screenshot > amicrawler
[06:08] <phiqtion> i recently installed Ubuntu, and THEN XP, the NTFS is not mounting properly, how can i auto-mount it on startup and now?
[06:08] <Megaqwerty> Does anyone here package files? I want to know how to sign .debs.
[06:08] <amicrawler> ok
[06:09] <Megaqwerty> (For a repository obviously)
[06:09] <tonyyarusso> Megaqwerty: read the topic of #ubuntu-motu and check the docs on the wiki linked
[06:09] <Pucpuc> question, if i install ubuntu on my secondary IDE drive and install grub on my primary Sata drive with xp on it will it boot up grub?
[06:09] <Megaqwerty> tonyyarusso: thanks
[06:09] <amicrawler> it went a way now
[06:09] <amicrawler> crap
[06:09] <amicrawler> it comes and goes
[06:09] <awerner32> say i am looking to learn a programming language or really just to have something to go out and teach myself, i have no ultimate goal with this but have nothing really better to do and am always looking to learn. the consensus from what i have read so far says that python would be the language to go for but does anyone agree or disagree and also maybe i should just learn some shell scripting...
[06:09] <awerner32> ...and get to know the terminal a bit better. Anybody have any input?
[06:10] <amicrawler> and some time as well on google website
[06:10] <phreck_> python is good
[06:10] <FunnyLookinHat> awerner32, python is a great starter language   : )
[06:10] <phreck_> C never hurt anyone either
[06:10] <awerner32> ok
[06:10] <tupa> I don't know why but I hate python
[06:10] <FunnyLookinHat> awerner32, the good thing about it is that you can do both webpage stuff with it or local scripting, and it's even GTK enabled
[06:10] <noiesmo> Pucpuc, yes it should if you install grub to mbr it should detect xp install and set up grub boot menu for you
[06:10] <megasquid> it seems as though there' unused ram that's not being freed in ubuntu, is there any software to monitor and free unused ram?
[06:10] <Linkerator> I'm learning Python right now, eheheh
[06:10] <MajorPayne> C is great.  But all the stuff you mentioned is useful.
[06:10] <amicrawler> came back then went a way
[06:11] <JCFiala> awerner32: Python is not a bad idea.  If you're interested in scripting languages, that's one that's good.  Ruby has a lot of fans as well.
[06:11] <Pucpuc> noiesmo Thank you
[06:11] <di> hi, gnome boots really slowly for me even on a core 2 duo t5600
[06:11] <di> 21 seconds without any startup programs
[06:11] <tupa> awerner32, if you would like to know terminal, why don't you learn bash scripting?
[06:11] <noiesmo> np Pucpuc
[06:11] <di> how should i fix this?
[06:11] <banlieue> Is there a way to set-up a delay for audio previewing in Nautilus? I don't want it to audio preview unless my mouse has been on the icon for longer than 8 seconds
[06:11] <awerner32> i think i am going to go with Python it definately has the most ubuntu community support and i do need to learn some bash scripting too
[06:12] <krlos> hi
[06:12] <awerner32> thanks for all the help
[06:12] <krlos> help me
[06:12] <Megaqwerty>  !ask | krlos
[06:12] <ubotu> krlos: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:12] <krlos> i have problem the instalation
[06:12] <MajorPayne> di: It doesn't really seem like you have a problem.
[06:13] <Chrisie> Evening... recently installed feisty and a newbe; I had to use gparted to resize move the swap partition now on reboot it's not automatically used. How do I re-enable that?
[06:13] <krlos> the lazarus
[06:14] <megasquid> it seems as though there' unused ram that's not being freed in ubuntu, is there any software to monitor and free unused ram?
[06:14] <Shadow6363> hmm, just wondering what virtualization program people would recommend, have heard about vitualbox and vmware, dont know any others nor the benefits of either of those
[06:14] <amicrawler> ok  guys caught it
[06:14] <amicrawler> got a snap shot
[06:14] <Shadow6363> although not completely necessary, it would be nice if i could use an existing windows install, i know vmware can do this, not sure about virtualbox
[06:14] <banlieue> Is there a way to set-up a delay for audio previewing in Nautilus? I don't want it to audio preview unless my mouse has been on the icon for longer than 8 seconds...
[06:15] <bruenig> longer than 8 seconds? you might as well open the thing
[06:15] <MarcC> what's the difference between VNC and RDP? Any reason to use RDP over VNC?
[06:15] <bruenig> just turn it off
[06:15] <banlieue> 8 seconds was a random number, really
[06:15] <banlieue> pretend I didn't say eight and said two instead :P
[06:15] <Shadow6363> bruenig, how do you turn it on, i remember i had it before in edgy or dapper and really liked it, but with feisty, it no longer happens
[06:16] <banlieue> it starts to play semi-immediately now, which is kind of annoying when just moving the mouse about in folders
[06:16] <bruenig> Shadow6363, not sure, it has to do with particular packages and whatnot, gstreamer-gconf maybe?
[06:16] <banlieue> but I do find it quite handy to have as a feature
[06:16] <di> MajorPayne: why?
[06:16] <Shadow6363> bruenig, alright, ill go looking, i know there is an option in preferences for previewing music, but i have it enabled, i shall check that package though
[06:16] <bruenig> well I never use the file manager so it is of no help to me, it didn't work in thunar anyways
[06:16] <Jordan_U> Shadow6363, What are you trying to do ?
[06:16] <d4rkmonkey> hey, how do I check what kernel version I have?
[06:16] <krlos> as I can install the packages of lazarus in ubuntu
[06:16] <krlos> ?
[06:16] <Jordan_U> d4rkmonkey, uname -r
[06:17] <d4rkmonkey> thanks Jordan_U
[06:17] <MajorPayne> di: 21 seconds does not seem like a real long time.
[06:17] <Jordan_U> d4rkmonkey, np
[06:17] <krlos> please help me
[06:17] <Frogzoo> can anyone suggest a way to calculate julian dates? you can use oobase, but I'd like something cli
[06:17] <di> MajorPayne: someone else takes 10
[06:17] <limecat> q
[06:17] <Megaqwerty> krlos: what is your problem?
[06:18] <Frogzoo> ncal will show the julian dates actually, but I'd like to calculate number of days between 2 dates, from the terminal
[06:18] <Shadow6363> Jordan_U, for which question, i asked earlier about recommended virtualization programs and then someone mentioned the music previews in nautilus and since feisty, i know longer have them
[06:18] <krlos> as I can install the packages of lazarus in ubuntu?
[06:18] <phreck_> Megaqwerty, do i have to install the madwifi drivers? Or id that package handle it
[06:18] <amicrawler> ok were do i send it guys for this weard snap shot ?
[06:18] <jimmygoon> Gr, my favorite ubuntu bug just happened, my Ctrl button got stuck down :S!!!!
[06:18] <Linkerator> amicrawler: http://www.imageshack.us
[06:18] <Megaqwerty> phreck_: I personally didn't have to. Your mileage may vary though.
[06:18] <MajorPayne> Frogzoo: Try cal on the cli.
[06:18] <phreck_> haha
[06:18] <phreck_> you use madwifi?
[06:19] <Jordan_U> Shadow6363, I would recommend VMware now and possible virtual box once it is a little more mature
[06:19] <Megaqwerty> phreck_:no
[06:19] <Sigurney> Hi, new to linux and i've managed to install and get VMWare player running. I've been using easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml to make my virtual mahcins but haven't had any luck with a correct cd-rom configuartion and since the cd-rom drive isn't detected i can't install an OS. How do I actually get the info about my cdrom/dvd drives to tell what setting to use? Thx
[06:19] <phreck_> ok
[06:19] <Jordan_U> Shadow6363, VMware server is available in ubuntu-commercial
[06:19] <Shadow6363> Jordan_U, alright, i've done vmware before way back when, but figured id check to see if there was anything better out
[06:19] <Megaqwerty> krolos: I didn't understand your question, but if you're asking how to install packages, go to System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager you can install anything in the repository from there.
[06:20] <Shadow6363> Jordan_U, do you think photoshop will run fairly well in virtualized windows?
[06:20] <Jordan_U> Shadow6363, I don't think that it is GPU accelerated so it should run pretty much the same speed
[06:20] <amicrawler> ok posted
[06:21] <d4rkmonkey> Hey, is 2.6.20-16-generic the newest kernel?
[06:21] <kismet> is there an alternative to GPixPod ?
[06:21] <amicrawler> http://img456.imageshack.us/my.php?image=copy2vd8.jpg
[06:21] <Shadow6363> Jordan_U, sounds good
[06:21] <Megaqwerty> Shadow6363: I'd look at VirtualBox as well. www.virtualbox.org
[06:21] <amicrawler> this what i get a sites
[06:22] <jimmygoon> what browser?
[06:22] <Shadow6363> Megaqwerty, know any specific advantages/differences to it over vmware?
