[15:55] <hischild> dini, google for linux game <type of game> and look from there. With that attitude you won't get any help from here.
[15:55] <twistage> Why is the "locate" command listing files of mine that don't exist?
[15:55] <Pici> dini: You need to look at these links yourself
[15:56] <dini> i already tried the wine but its not working
[15:56] <Myrtti> twistage: have you run sudo updatedb lately?
[15:56] <hischild> twistage, it might have to be updated. try sudo updatedb and check again.
[15:56] <bazhang> http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+NFSU dini please read all these links now thanks
[15:56] <__mork> it seems that nm don't manage correctly the new route (and neither remembers password)
[15:56] <silver-edge> hey can anyone help me out?when i mount my windows partition i cant seem to write to it... ive tried sudo etc but nothing works... seems to happen the same with any usb drives aswell
[15:56] <fiftyMIPsparc> silver-edge, what type of fs
[15:57] <twistage> Myrtti: Ah, no, but I figured there would be something like that. Thanks. Do you always have to do this manually?
[15:57] <silver-edge> fiftyMIPsparc ntfs
[15:57] <crash91> sorry if this has been asked before, but is it possible to run office 2007/adobe CS3 on wine? or is there some kind of integrated virtualization?
[15:57] <fiftyMIPsparc> crash91: office2007 will run on wine, except for outlook
[15:57] <Myrtti> twistage: I always end up adding it to my gnome/kde/xfce sessions to be run when I log in
[15:57] <fiftyMIPsparc> silver-edge: is this gutsy or hardy
[15:57] <bazhang> crash91: you best check the appdb for how well cs3 runs if at all
[15:58] <twistage> Myrtti: Thanks
[15:58] <roxahris_> ugh
[15:58] <silver-edge> fiftyMIPsparc: not too sure what does that mean?
[15:58] <roxahris_> update manager is crashing again
[15:58] <tech0007> silver-edge: use ntfs-config
[15:58] <TwoD> Does anyone know what the screen resolution app uses to determine how many screens you have? It only finds one of my screens and is thereby useless. I have to use nvidia-settings and twinview to get anything working, but it's buggy as heck and sometimes leaves my monitors "out of range" or other weirdness.
[15:58] <__mork> silver-edge: have you tried to google ubuntu enable ntfs write or to use ntfs-config?
[15:58] <crash91> bazhang: on the appdb it says for office: what works- installation, what doesnt - everything..
[15:58] <fiftyMIPsparc> silver-edge: which version of ubuntu are you using?
[15:58] <silver-edge> tech0007: what does that mean?
[15:58] <bujar> im impressed :)
[15:58] <ejer> CS3 PS on Wine http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6584 slightly works apparently
[15:59] <silver-edge> what is ntfs-config... as i said im pretty new to linux/ubuntu
[15:59] <bazhang> crash91: you have a working browser? ;]
[15:59] <tech0007> silver-edge: sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
[15:59] <silver-edge> cool ill give it a try
[15:59] <crash91> bazhang: oh, long story, but it kinda got fixed,
[15:59] <crash91> bazhang: :) if it didnt im going to be using gnome-failsafe for the rest of my life :P
[15:59] <bazhang> crash91: still some issues? lets fix them then
[15:59] <alado3> how can i stop my monitor from power saving, i disabled pover saving in bios and the power manager that starts up with xubuntu
[16:00] <twistage> I'm using gnome and I have a hidden KDE directory under my home directory, is this necessary? I dont believe I have any KDE applications installed, although I did in the past
[16:00] <Jared`> I'm trying to use the latest Ubuntu 8 Server Edition CD to install the OS, but my system appears to freeze on the splash screen. I cannot select a language. Is there a workaround for this?
[16:00] <paynito> upgrading 6.06 to 8.04 went bad, fresh install of 8.04 shrunk the first install, now i have cleaned the first partition to use for data, but still have 2 swap partitions, booting from install cd in recovery mode should it be easy to combine these two swaps?
[16:01] <akincer> Anybody know what commands I need to add to sudoers so that an unprivileged user can connect with vpnc without having to enter a password? I've already added vpnc, vpnc-connect and vpnc-disconnect. It seems the vpnc code is failing on a socket bind() function
[16:01] <silver-edge> whats it called to run? i just installed it and went: ntfs-config and came up with unknown
[16:01] <Turski> paynito: you can modifu swap partitions without live-cd
[16:01] <silver-edge> wait nvm typo
[16:01] <stefg> twistage: find out by hidng it inside a tar.gz archive.
[16:01] <crash91> bazhang: if i could just install office and CS3 on ubuntu then i will format vista :)
[16:01] <david_-_-> how do i fix it in virtual box where i do not have to hit right control to leave the box all the time?
[16:01] <k[5\5]> -----
[16:02] <bazhang> crash91: ;]
[16:02] <fxjr> david_-_-,  you could install virtual box guest tools
[16:02] <silver-edge> great thanks that worked appriciate it guys thanks for the help
[16:02] <fxjr> david_-_-, at least for mouse support.
[16:02] <Blinny> I'm moving a bind9 server to Ubuntu Hardy and the Ubuntu version is not recognizing access control lists ("Unknown option acl") - Anyone know if this is supported in Ubuntu's bind9 package?
[16:02] <david_-_-> fxjr: thanks
[16:02] <ron> whats the trick to mounting a second drive at boot?
[16:03] <ron> i added it to fstab
[16:03] <__mork> no good soul that can help me???? :-(
[16:03] <Jokka>  /join #gnome
[16:03] <__mork> (wireless problem: routing and remembering password)
[16:03] <TwoD> Anyone who knows how to "reset and rescan" hardware devices? I swapped motherboard a while back (identical type, old one was broken) and now I have things like eth2 & 3 instead of eth0 & 1. Breaks my old settings...
[16:03] <ron>   /dev/sdc1      /media/400gig/     ext3 defaults  0  2
[16:03] <ron> i can mount it from command line
[16:03] <Blinny> ron: and /media/400gig/ exists?
[16:03] <FastZ> anyone know how to update the time via the command line?
[16:03] <FastZ> my server is running about 5 minutes fast
[16:03] <ron> yes
[16:03] <Blinny> FastZ: man date
[16:03] <georgez> Hello.  I am having a problem with a new 8.04 install.  The Screen Resolution GUI says that it wont support Randr.  It was my understanding that part of this upgrade was support for RandR in the OS... IE the GUI
[16:04] <FastZ> Blinny, thanks
[16:04] <Blinny> fastz or use the ntp server
[16:04] <Pici> !time | FastZ
[16:04] <bazhang> __mork: the 3945? doe the machine see it? can the nic see the ap? what is the encryption? wep/wpa/wpa etc
[16:04] <hooer> im confused with grub :/
[16:04] <tech0007> FastZ: /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u time.nist.gov
[16:04] <fxjr> hooer, what's the problem?
[16:05] <Jared`> I am having a freeze-issue with a new 8.04 install. When I'm presented with the language selection screen, my system appears non-responsive to keyboard commands (numlock will not turn off, arrow keys not functional). Is there a workaround I can use to install Server Edition?
[16:05] <hooer> fxjr. the guides im using dont seem to help. i want to know if i've converted from lilo to grub properly
[16:05] <Cpudan80> So I am having a problem with my keyboard
[16:05] <n3o> #ubuntu-fr
[16:05] <bazhang> Jared`: what about tab and enter
[16:05] <Cpudan80> The numlock light is off - even though numlock is engaged
[16:05] <danbhfive> Jared`: have you tried ctrl+alt+f1?
[16:05] <Cpudan80> Numlock light turns on when numlock is off
[16:05] <Jared`> Let me give those a try, one moment :)
[16:05] <fxjr> hooer, hmmm, sorry. I don't know anything about lilo and I also only configure grub menu
[16:06] <__mork> bazhang: thanks, all works fine, except that when i disconnect cable on eth0 and start wireless (iwl3945) (hardware switch+network manager profile): 1. it remembers eth0 in the routing table (which mess up the route) and 2. it don't remember wpa personal (open) password
[16:06] <Jared`> bazhang: Tab and Enter and CTRL+ALT+F1 are nonresponsive
[16:06] <hooer> fxjr, how do i know grub is all setup properly with the kernel specified etc?
[16:06] <dfgas> how do i upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 in cli, gui installer is not working
[16:07] <bazhang> __mork: you know the command line at all?
[16:07] <Cpudan80> dfgas: Do you want to do it from the command line and get the files over the net?
[16:07] <fxjr> hooer, did you do the grub configuration?
[16:07] <david_-_-> fxjr: do i have to install anything on the os im running in Vb,?
[16:07] <Cpudan80> dfgas: ex. no CD
[16:07] <dfgas> Cpudan80: yes
[16:07] <Cpudan80> dfgas: sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:07] <silver-edge> hey sorry quick other question... just shared the drive with smb and unticked read only... tried to access the computer accross the network and comes up with login/pass prmpt.. put in my usual login but doesnt work... how can i disable that?
[16:07] <fxjr> david_-_-, yeap. what is your guest OS?
[16:07] <hooer> fxjr, sort of.. i wasn't sure what to do
[16:07] <stefg> Cpudan80: xset led 1
[16:07] <georgez> Hello.  I am having a problem with a new 8.04 install.  The Screen Resolution GUI says that it wont support Randr.  It was my understanding that part of this upgrade was support for RandR in the OS... IE the GUI. thank you
[16:07] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 check here __mork
[16:07] <danbhfive> where should I report compiz bugs?  Should I report compiz bugs?
[16:07] <silver-edge> before i even get to the shared folders on the network drive
[16:07] <__mork> bazhang: yes, but i would like the process is automated: i have a WIFE (!), a difficult password, and to delete the route <IP_ADDRESS> eth0
[16:07] <david_-_-> fxjr: it is xubuntu
[16:07] <gralexey> how to make linux not to load X by default?
[16:07] <Cpudan80> stefg: nope
[16:08] <Jared`> danbhfive: CTRL+ALT+F1 non responsive
[16:08] <bazhang> __mork: why are you switching between eth and wifi?
[16:08] <twistage> Is there a disk clean utility? It seems like there is remnants of applications I removed long ago scattered all over my hard drive.
[16:08] <__mork> bazhang:  i forgot to mention that i use nm in manual config mode.
[16:08] <devindia> hey... i want to upgrade from KDE3 to KDE 4... how do i do it
[16:08] <_eMaX_> hello all
[16:08] <paulcross> Can  EVOLUTION  be removed without damaging the gnome-desktop?
[16:08] <tyler_roach> gralexey: the best way would be to install the server vversion
[16:08] <__mork> bazhang: i have to move the notebook, you know
[16:08] <bazhang> twistage: deborphan?
[16:08] <fxjr> hooer, about grub configuration, I could point to you Gentoo documentation. I don't know where is one for ubuntu:
[16:08] <Blinny> gralexey: either boot into init 2 (appending 2 to kernel boot line) or /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[16:08] <fxjr> hooer, http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10#doc_chap2
[16:08] <_eMaX_> anyone here having problems with sound in vmware where the base OS is hardy?
[16:08] <devindia> hey... i want to upgrade from KDE3 to KDE 4... how do i do it
[16:08] <ejer> gralexey: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[16:08] <devindia> hey... i want to upgrade from KDE3 to KDE 4... how do i do it
[16:08] <bazhang> __mork: right I mean why not just alway leave it on wireless
[16:09] <danbhfive> Jared`: well, the other option is to get the alternate cd
[16:09] <fxjr> there you can see what commands to use to setup grub
[16:09] <Jared`> danbhfive: Will the Alternate CD do a Server-Edition install?
[16:09] <dfgas> k, a friend of mine did a upgrade, and half way through he says it locked up, so he had to use the power button to shutdown and restart it, now it wants to do a partial upgrade, however when he does it just closes out the window. any ideas how to fix?
[16:09] <Jared`> danbhfive: When I tried to select Alternate CD and Server Edition on the Website it gave me the standard install CD as the download.
[16:09] <danbhfive> Jared`: hmmm, actually, it might not
[16:09] <fde> devindia: install kubuntu-kde4-desktop ... this won't really upgrade though, it'll just give you both KDE3 and 4...
[16:09] <bazhang> devindia: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop for hardy; sudo apt-get install kde-core for gutsy(need special repo for this)
[16:10] <twistage> bazhang: Is deborphan generally pretty safe? I've heard stories of it removing packages that people needed
[16:10] <tyler_roach> devindia you dont need to upgrade, KDE4 is a separate environment
[16:10] <fxjr> david_-_-, You will need to use the menu devices -> install guest additions
[16:10] <bazhang> fde: that is kde4 only; kubuntu-desktop is kde3, correct?
[16:10] <__mork> because of radiations... who knows...
[16:10] <fde> bazhang: yup... he'd needs to remove all deps on kubuntu-desktop
[16:10] <david_-_-> fxjr: ok thanks but anything on the xubuntu side? after i start it up?
[16:11] <bazhang> fde okay thanks :)
[16:11] <tyler_roach> fxjr yep
[16:11] <fde> bazhang: (that aren't deps of -kde4-desktop)
[16:11] <Vlet> gralexey: or, in the 'services' admin control panel, you can disable 'graphical login manager'
[16:11] <Ubuntu> hello
[16:11] <fxjr> david_-_-, I found that on google: http://programminglinuxblog.blogspot.com/2007/09/virtual-box-xubuntu.html
[16:11] <devindia> wat is the name of the repo
[16:11] <Vlet> omg, it's ubuntu
[16:11] <fxjr> I hope it helps.
[16:11] <bazhang> devindia: see www.kubuntu.org
[16:11] <danbhfive> Jared`: well, I would try again.  The site worked for me just now.  you can also try !torrents
[16:11] <david_-_-> fxjr: thanks lots.
[16:12] <Wobe> http://www.shelleytherepublican.com/the-definitive-review-of-ubuntu-linux-804-hardy-heron
[16:12] <bazhang> twistage safe? this is linux ;]
[16:12] <fxjr> david_-_-, you are welcome!
[16:12] <fxjr> tyler_roach, hi!
[16:12] <bazhang> wobe is there a support question with that? if not please dont post here
[16:12] <__mork> bazhang: I read the article you posted, but all that works fine. I have in fact a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file with all ok.
[16:12] <Jared`> danbhfive: Are there extra steps I will need to make the Alternate CD install as Server Edition? I would basically have to take Desktop and modify it?
[16:13] <bazhang> __mork: ah good
[16:13] <__mork> bazhang: I don't understand how to modify the route change after the wireless is switched on and activated in nm manual configuration applet.
[16:13] <zylche> Hey guys, how'd I go about writing a bash script that checked /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature every 30 seconds and if it were higher than a predefined limit do several commands?
[16:13] <fde> Jared`: the alternate CD will let you install it as server or desktop... just read the initial screen of that install method.
[16:13] <Jared`> fde: Thank you! That is very helpful :)
[16:13] <Jared`> danbhfive: Thank you for your help
[16:13] <bazhang> __mork: likely a networking restart will do that
[16:14] <alibcaca> zylche: ask in #bash
[16:14] <__mork> another prob is why it forgets the password... I already had this prob on gutsy but solved in some way (yes, but... which!!!)
[16:14] <zylche> will do
[16:14] <fde> Jared`: It'll be "minimal" if it doesn't state "server" explicitly... did you have anything in mind for that server?
[16:14] <__mork> bazhang: I do let network restart each time wireless (or wired) profile is selected in nm applet?
[16:15] <Qnux> hi
[16:15] <Qnux> anyone an idea how to link a folder
[16:15] <Qnux> permanently
[16:15] <Myrtti> ln -s
[16:15] <Jared`> fde: Nothing really. I was more concerned of specific server modifications to the base OS like the Kernel that would be absent on a Desktop install
[16:15] <Myrtti> man ln
[16:15] <bazhang> __mork: still not clear why you dont wifi all the time--you can get a $5 range extender for that you know
[16:15] <fde> Qnux: ln -s /folder/location /new/location/here
[16:16] <Ali_ix> hi, any one getting 'failed to initialize hal' after restart recently?
[16:16] <Qnux> fde: will it be there even if i restart?
[16:16] <__mork> bazhang: well, i have fear of radiations
[16:16] <fde> Jared`: apt-cache show linux-image-server
[16:16] <bazhang> __mork: that should not be an issue
[16:16] <__mork> bazhang: maybe irrational but... so it sis.
[16:16] <fde> Qnux: yes.
[16:16] <Qnux> fde: cool :D thx
[16:16] <Jared`> fde: I like it when you talk dirty. Thank you again.
[16:16] <justprogramming8> i have screensaver how can i get source code of it
[16:16] <justprogramming8> ???
[16:16] <bazhang> __mork: tinfoil is even less than $5 ;]
[16:16] <Qnux> fde: i even tried it with mount xD
[16:17] <aurum> Is there a computer hardware-esque channel on this server?
[16:17] <bazhang> #hardware
[16:17] <Pici> justprogramming8: one of the xscreensavers?
[16:17] <paulcross> How to add some items into evience's menu.
[16:17] <__mork> bazhang: i feel that machine should do what i want: i.e. set up correctly the route after a net interface is up and working
[16:17] <hooer> ugh... back to Lilo i go... oh course now i have to reinstall though :/ since it kernel panics now
[16:17] <PeterFA> I'm having a bugger of a time installing FF. I go through Adept and request install, but ever time a commit, I watch the details and it says another process has locked the file. Alas, lsof lists nothing.
[16:17] <danbhfive> Jared`: if you want the server install, I would try the server cd.  Don't do the alternate cd.  Some alternate cds can do a server install, other cannot.  I forget which
[16:17] <Speckal> if you walk up to an ubuntu system, how can you tell which version it is?
[16:17] <hooer> i think a re-install might be easier anyway
[16:17] <__mork> bazhang: this one seems to me the right linux way
[16:17] <whileimhere> Hi I have an External USB Acer CDRW 4x4x6 that I use. Often when I insert a CDR or CD Linux does not auto-mount it. In fact often I am forced to re-boot the computer to recognize it. Can anyone tell me why or maybe how to fix this?
[16:18] <Jared`> danbhfive: My system appears to freeze with the server CD. That's the issue I'm experiencing
[16:18] <bazhang> __mork: my limited knowledge only extends to wireless; the much smarter folks here can likely help with that
[16:18] <Pici> justprogramming8: they are in the xscreensavers-data, xscreensavers-data-extra, xscreensavers-gl, and xscreensavers-gl-extra packages, just apt-get source packagename
[16:18] <PeterFA> Speckal, cat /proc/version
[16:18] <justprogramming8> yup in ubuntu its name endgame
[16:18] <PeterFA> Speckal, that's one way, but doesn't tell you the distro version.
[16:18] <bazhang> whileimhere: you are hotplugging it?
[16:18] <__mork> bazhang: thanks anyway, you were very kind.
[16:18] <__mork> so the gurus here can help please???
[16:18] <Speckal> PeterFA:  I'm looking for distro version :)
[16:18] <zylche> Oh. Applications aren't being able to take focus over other one, how'd I fix that? :P
[16:18] <Speckal> PeterFA:  eg.  Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10  or some such
[16:19] <bazhang> Speckal: lsb_release -a
[16:19] <hooer> so angry..grrrrrr
[16:19] <hooer> night
[16:19] <Speckal> bazhang:  nice.  ty ;)
[16:19] <david_-_-> fxjr: hmm it does not work that way
[16:19] <ramkumar> speckal: or you could go to system monitor...and it shows it there under system ;)
[16:20] <van> #ubuntu -cn
[16:20] <whileimhere> bazhang: I usually leave it plugged into the computer via the back USB. I have tried different USB ports with the same results. I have tried unplugging it when both the computer and the CDRW burner are on and that sometimes works. Otherwise I am forced to re-boot to get it to recognize the CDRW.
[16:20] <fxjr> zylche, have you tried sensors-applet?
[16:20] <Wobe> bazhang: no, and I thought it was a good article to be aware of, sorry.
[16:20] <hangthedj> does Epiphany have their own irc channel?
[16:20] <justprogramming8> Pici i couldnt understand
[16:20] <fxjr> it has support to execute commands on predefined thresholds
[16:20] <justprogramming8> can u explain
[16:20] <bazhang> van type /join #ubuntu-cn
[16:20] <zylche> Oh.
[16:21] <fxjr> david_-_-, what problem did you get?
[16:21] <zylche> The alarm part was hidden in the sensors properties
[16:21] <zylche> :P
[16:21] <fxjr> yeap
[16:21] <zylche> My mistake. Was used to the old interface
[16:21] <Speckal> ah... fyi, that info is stored in  /etc/lsb-release
[16:21] <david_-_-> fxjr: thats just it no problems no errors just doesnt work.
[16:21] <bazhang> wobe would be better in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks :)
[16:21] <cgentry72> can i use emerald in hardy?  I don't see it installed?
[16:21] <bazhang> cgentry72: sure install it
[16:22] <cgentry72> bazhang, ok wasn't sure
[16:22] <fxjr> david_-_-, did you enabled the install guest additions?
[16:22] <Pici> justprogramming8: you need to determine what package the screensaver is in, then run apt-get source thepackagename
[16:22] <david_-_-> fxjr: yep
[16:22] <fxjr> cgentry72, I think you need to install it with synaptic
[16:22] <fxjr> ok,
[16:22] <justprogramming8> how can i determine ??
[16:22] <fxjr> did the virtual box additions guest cd appeared on xubuntu desktop?
[16:23] <cgentry72> fxjr, i found it there.. does it load automatically on startup?
[16:23] <fxjr> cgentry72, nope.
[16:23] <Pici> justprogramming8: its in the xscreensaver-gl package
[16:23] <fxjr> you have to execute a script inside it
[16:23] <david_-_-> fxjr: not rly worried about it its just annoying sometimes lol
[16:23] <cgentry72> fxjr, ok i'll figure that out then
[16:23] <fxjr> ./VBoxLinuxAddtions.run
[16:23] <bazhang> cgentry72: alt f2 emerald --replace
[16:24] <cgentry72> bazhang, ok
[16:24] <bazhang> cgentry72: same with compiz; alt f2 compiz --replace ; to disable alt f2 metacity --replace
[16:24] <whileimhere> No ideas ?
[16:25] <cgentry72> bazhang, good to know thanks
[16:25] <fxjr> david_-_-, rly ??? what does this stand for?
[16:25] <bazhang> whileimhere: best to just leave it plugged in when you start up
[16:25] <bazhang> fxjr: really
[16:25] <david_-_-> fxjr: what does what stand for?
[16:25] <fxjr> cgentry72, I think you can configure compiz to run it automagically for you.
[16:26] <fxjr> david_-_-, Whoops, sorry. wrong nick :)
[16:26] <danbhfive> sorry Jared`I think the problem you are experiencing is out of my league
[16:26] <cgentry72> fxjr, yes i see that
[16:26] <jayakumar2> is there a simple x application i can use that'll draw text like xconsole except it will read from a text file?
[16:26] <bazhang> back in a second
[16:26] <PeterFA> I keep getting the same error installing packages. It always says it couldn't commit the changes since either it couldn't download or installing would break things.
[16:26] <justprogramming8> ok then what i should do ??
[16:26] <PeterFA> This happens all the time.
[16:26] <fxjr> david_-_-, rly
[16:27] <fxjr> but bazhang already answered me. :) thanks bazhang

[16:41] <fde> jatt: any cutomizations to that file should be handled via /etc/fstab instead...

[16:44] <ugend-shtill> good evening
[16:44] <edgy> hi, I want to redirect any X client to an X server in a  remote computer so I tried DISPLAY=re.mo.te.pc:0 kedit from my localhost but it didn't work. I also tried xhost + from the remote PC and still nothing redirected, what's wrong please?
[16:44] <sadiel> Hello guys. I'm having issues with my soundcard when using the jack server. I get lots of noises. My card is "82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller". Any hint?
[16:44] <Jokka> edgy: pidig doesnt show personal messages
[16:44] <Jokka> ikonia: thx
[16:44] <edgy> sadiel: I think it's better to ask at #alsa
[16:45] <SuperQ> ikonia: any suggested config changes that won't make it do that?
[16:45] <danbhfive> sadiel: whats the jack server?
[16:45] <sadiel> thanks a lot edgy!
[16:45] <Jua1> Hello ... how do I change the way Gnome shows me the ALT-TAB windows? I don't want a screenshot ... I want a simple list of open programs
[16:45] <SuperQ> maybe I should just use the desktop CD
[16:45] <edgy> sadiel: you are welcome
[16:45] <cgentry72> just a quick question, i am able to play dvds but i get no sound. any ideas why?
[16:45] <sadiel> danbhfive: jack server is a program. If I get it well, it's like a virtual sound driver or something
[16:45] <fde> danbhfive: apt-cache show jackd
[16:46] <edgy> cgentry72: can you hear sound from other files?
[16:46] <cgentry72> edgy, yes
[16:46] <ikonia> SuperQ: not at the moment, just reading though
[16:46] <danbhfive> thanks
[16:46] <cgentry72> edgy, nevermind works with movie player just not vlc
[16:46] <david_-_-> how do you delete an os off of virtual box?
[16:46] <Jua1> Hello ... how do I change the way Gnome shows me the ALT-TAB windows? I don't want a screenshot ... I want a simple list of open programs
[16:47] <danbhfive> Jua1: I think you need to edit the compiz settings
[16:48] <morghanphoenix> how do I get a console login without x?
[16:48] <Jua1> Weird, I don't think I have compiz installed? I thought it was metacity, right
[16:48] <david_-_-> how do you delete an os off of virtual box?
[16:48] <ramkumar> jua1: should be compiz...are you sure it's not installed?
[16:49] <fde> Jua1: System > Preferences > Appearance ... default is to use Compiz.
[16:49] <asdrubal> compiz makes games slower
[16:49] <asdrubal> I dont like it
[16:49] <morghanphoenix> compiz makes everything slower, but then again so does gnome :P
[16:50] <Jua1> Well, apprently I must have compiz installed ... just ran "compiz" in terminal and all my windows got refreshed
[16:50] <danbhfive> david_-_-: I just delete the harddrive file, and then delete it in the manager
[16:50] <david_-_-> danbhfive: thanks hey u join me in room #wwed please so we could talk about dif os's?
[16:51] <morghanphoenix> Can someone tell me how to get a console login with ubuntu? I have no option to leave x in the display manager and I don't know where ubuntu stores the runlevels since it's not in etc inittab like I expected to find it.
[16:51] <fde> morghanphoenix: there are two ways, either create the file /etc/X11/default-desktop-manager and throw '/bin/false' in there... or remove gdm from the system.
[16:51] <danbhfive> Jua1: just turn compiz off, the way fde suggested, and I think you will be satisfied
[16:51] <morghanphoenix> ah
[16:51] <Jua1> wow that helped quite a bit. Thanks!
[16:52] <polysilicon> morghanphoenix, does gnome make system slower?
[16:52] <dot> my computer is now fiding my iPhone through ssh. and what should I do now?
[16:52] <morghanphoenix> compared to fluxbox or ice, yes, compared to KDE, no
[16:52] <fde> polysilicon: Not really, as it loads typical libraries that your apps will use...
[16:52] <xintron> How do I get a visual bell on my bar when someone hilight me on irssi?
[16:53] <P_Kable> hello
[16:53] <ghostknife> Upgrade manager told me 8.04 is available. Is it safe to upgrade? I won't reboot and suddenly have a non-working system? I didn't have any problems with 7.10 except sometimes when I shutdown and plug out the charger during (in which case ACPI crashes and I have to force poweroff the machine)
[16:53] <fde> morghanphoenix: those window managers will require you to start GTK related and Gnome related libs after the session has started... so it feels slower.
[16:53] <ramkumar> xintron: are you using pidgin?
[16:53] <polysilicon> is gnome suitable for laptops
[16:53] <polysilicon> ?
[16:54] <royally_fscked> yes
[16:54] <polysilicon> I mean does it provide any laptop specific settings/
[16:54] <^root^> hi! i am getting really low speed on package installation, tried from everywhere, normal download is about 50k, while in add/remove, synaptic, apt-get i get 10K, 20K. tried local mirrors as well as us mirrors
[16:54] <Jokka> how to install 'Tk GUI Toolkit'
[16:54] <dot> My computer found iphone's Library and Media directories with "ls"
[16:54] <ghostknife> polysilicon: not having any problems with it on any of the laptops I have used it on
[16:54] <fde> xintron: There is no way via irssi to do that.
[16:54] <royally_fscked> polysilicon: i'm using a laptop with gnome and it works very well
[16:54] <P_Kable> I find the new way the volumes are shown (xxx GB Media) on the desktop really annoying. How can I display sdc1 and sdd1 instead on the desktop please ?
[16:54] <morghanphoenix> I've used gnome KDE 3 & 4 as well as the current fluxbox on this laptop
[16:54] <fde> xintron: Recommend you use XChat if you wish for such features.
[16:54] <dot> My computer found iphone's Library and Media directories with "ls"... I have not written "iphone-mount" because it gives me an error so what should I do?
[16:54] <ghostknife> xintron: what do you want to do?
[16:54] <xintron> fde: While using putty on windows I got a visual bell on hilight (connecting to a shell and using irssi)
[16:55] <fde> xintron: Putty is available for Linux...
[16:55] <xintron> ghostknife: Get a flashing terminal when someone hilights me on irssi
[16:55] <ghostknife> xintron: want the task bar to highlight/flash?
[16:55] <xintron> yes ghostknife
[16:55] <javaJake> Does displayconfig-gtk exist in Hardy?
[16:55] <morghanphoenix> anyways, time for me to reboot, nvidia drivers await me
[16:55] <MrFawkes> any idea why pressing alt+right sends different key codes under gnome-term and rxvt?
[16:55] <xintron> fde: I would like to use the terminal if possible
[16:55] <kikr> my icons all just disappeared, and the Menus are not working either. how can this be fixed
[16:55] <kikr> ?
[16:55] <ghostknife> xintron: ah, well your terminal needs to support it. irssi sends the \a escape sequence when it highlights. Your terminal needs to convert this to a visual bell
[16:56] <xintron> ghostknife: wanna tell me how?
[16:56] <MrFawkes> or on fixing it?
[16:56] <morghanphoenix> the driver manager wasn't working and I couldn't get a login of console only, so now I should be all set to get my windows games running again.
[16:56] <ghostknife> xintron: no idea. I don't know which terminals support that
[16:56] <simmerz> I'm trying to share a directory on my machine with a windows machine. however it doesn't work, and trying to add the windows user using smbpasswd -L -a username doesn't work either. I get an error like: Failed to modify password entry for user username
[16:56] <dot> My computer found iphone's Library and Media directories with "ls"... I have not written "iphone-mount" because it gives me an error so what should I do?
[16:56] <ghostknife> xintron: ask in ##linux, they might know. Or ask in #gnome if the gnome terminal supports turning it on or something
[16:56] <xintron> ok, thanks anyway ghostknife
[16:56] <ghostknife> xintron: as long as the terminal software supports it, everything will work fine
[16:57] <ugend-shtill> bye
[16:57] <nullie> hello. How can I reinstall package?
[16:57] <javaJake> Does anyone know how to tell Hardy what kind of monitor I have?
[16:57] <javaJake> I could do it in Gutsy
[16:57] <Jokka> nullie: remove and install
[16:57] <ghostknife> xintron: if the terminal supports it but with some OTHER escape sequence, then let me know. I'll give you a script that sends that escape sequence. What you can also do is play an MP3 when someone types your nick, then you choose some distinct sounds that will notify you
[16:57] <nullie> Jokka, no other way?
[16:58] <javaJake> nullie: apt-get install --reinstall <nameofsoftware>
[16:58] <pajamian> nullie: you can reinstall from synaptic
[16:58] <Jokka> nullie, i do it that way=)
[16:58] <javaJake> nullie: Synaptic also lets you reinstall by right-clicking on the software you want to reinstall
[16:58] <nullie> humm, still

[16:59] <javaJake> ...locate?

[16:59] <javaJake> slocate....

[17:00] <nullie> javaJake, just did that. no luck
[17:00] <Jeruvy> anyone know how to restore a VNC session in xfce?
[17:00] <javaJake> nullie: temporary solution is to run "sudo touch /etc/updatedb.conf"

[17:00] <Konam> someone here is having problems with gnome-subtitles, 'cause I am. It crash when I try to create a sub and doesn't open the ones I have on my hdd

[17:01] <PeterFA> I have some packages that vanished and I can't install them, such as apache or firefox. I need to redownload the whole tree, or at least I think so. What do I do?
[17:01] <jatt> is there an easy way to change the icon on the left of the menu panel? I want to change the ubuntu icon with the gnome "foot" icon...
[17:01] <Fishscene> Does anyone here have the Japanese Language pack installed in Ubuntu?
[17:01] <lastelement0> hey all, i have a MX3200 wireless logitcech keyboard. in gutsy i had all of the multimedia keys functioning but in hardy that functionality seems to be gone. anyone know of a way to addresss this?
[17:01] <nullie> javaJake, I guess that's wrong method
[17:01] <javaJake> Would someone here mind posting their /etc/updatedb.conf file from a clean Ubuntu Hardy install?
[17:01] <javaJake> nullie: maybe someone else can share their file. ;)
[17:02] <PeterFA> javaJake, I think we have a similar problem.
[17:02] <javaJake> PeterFA: I think you might've disabled repositories

[17:02] <javaJake> PeterFA: check in System -> Settings -> Software
[17:03] <danbhfive> javaJake: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9517/
[17:03] <pajamian> javaJake: updatedb.conf is in the mlocate package
[17:03] <javaJake> pajamian: great, thanks
[17:03] <pajamian> $ dpkg-query -S /etc/updatedb.conf
[17:03] <pajamian> mlocate: /etc/updatedb.conf
[17:03] <javaJake> nullie: sudo apt-get install --reinstall mlocate
[17:03] <PeterFA> javaJake, where is "System -> Settings -> Software"?
[17:03] <bazhang> Fishscene: aye
[17:03] <javaJake> nullie: if that doesn't work danbhfive provided a /etc/updatedb.conf file
[17:03] <biagidp> Are there any common problems for dual monitors on ubuntu that would cause simple things like loading a weppage to be really slow?
[17:03] <darrylb> isn't there some dpkg configure thing to swap from one gcc to another? I just don't know what it's called if so
[17:04] <Fishscene> bashang, Can you read this? かたかな
[17:04] <javaJake> PeterFA: Software Sources perhaps?
[17:04] <bazhang> Fishscene: yes
[17:04] <Daisuke_Ido> PeterFA: adding a repo?  Software Sources
[17:04] <Fishscene> Bazhang, awesome. Thanks :)
[17:04] <lastelement0> hey all, i have a MX3200 wireless logitcech keyboard. in gutsy i had all of the multimedia keys functioning but in hardy that functionality seems to be gone. anyone know of a way to addresss this?
[17:04] <PeterFA> javaJake, in like Firefox?
[17:04] <javaJake> PeterFA: it's in the menu's along the top
[17:04] <PeterFA> javaJake, you mean in konsole?
[17:04] <javaJake> PeterFA: No, the "Applications | Places | System" menus
[17:04] <bazhang> Fishscene: do itashimashte ;}
[17:04] <mortal1> I have a 120gb hard drive that I need to format, is there any utility in ubuntu that would let me do this?
[17:04] <PeterFA> Oh.
[17:04] <javaJake> PeterFA: System -> Settings -> Software Sources
[17:04] <nullie> javaJake, I want to fix my ubuntu, not make patches
[17:04] <Fishscene> Typing in a different language I have to admit is about a thousand times easier than any other OS I've used
[17:04] <UnityDivide> mortal1, do you have gparted installed?
[17:04] <^root^> [Off-topic] who has the highest score in nibles :P :D ?
[17:04] <mortal1> i've tried mkfs.xfs -f /dev/hda1
[17:05] <pajamian> Fishscene: I can see it and I don't have the japanese language pack (at least I don't think I do).
[17:05] <javaJake> PeterFA: check the boxes next to everything except unstable or unsupported software
[17:05] <PeterFA> javaJake, I'm in KDE4 and I uninstalled Gnome.
[17:05] <javaJake> nullie: this will fix that problem. :P
[17:05] <Fishscene> Pajamian, interesting. Is anyone else able to read it? O_o
[17:05] <javaJake> nullie: now sure what you mean.
[17:05] <ph8> Hi all - can anyone tell me how to disable 'roll up' in compiz? i'd so much rather it maximised the window
[17:05] <pajamian> Fishscene: can't read it, though, since I don't know Japanese ;-)
[17:05] <ramkumar> fishscene: i can see it too
[17:05] <paulcros> HOW can I put some comments or notes into a PDF files.
[17:05] <bazhang> Fishscene: likely many; but how many can write it ;]
[17:05] <Fishscene> Niether do I :P
[17:06] <paulcros> HOW can I put some comments or notes into a PDF file.
[17:06] <nullie> javaJake, some package must have that file
[17:06] <UnityDivide> ph8, I do you have the compiz settings manager installed?
[17:06] <Fishscene> I'm quite surprised by this. It seems you do not need the Japanese language pack to view the characters- only to type them.
[17:06] <lastelement0> paulcros that isn't really anything to do with ubuntu
[17:06] <javaJake> nullie: right, mlocate does
[17:06] <pajamian> paulcros: flpsed
[17:06] <javaJake> nullie: or probably does
[17:06] <javaJake> nullie: try reinstalling that package to see if the file comes back
[17:06] <P_Kable> How can I change the name of the volumes on my desktop PLEASE
[17:06] <danbhfive> nullie: you may just want to do a fresh install.  Upgrades suck
[17:06] <javaJake> nullie: sudo apt-get install --reinstall mlocate
[17:06] <nullie> javaJake, that's better
[17:06] <PeterFA> javaJake, know the KDE way to do that?
[17:06] <nullie> I cannot do fresh install
[17:06] <PeterFA> javaJake, or console way?
[17:06] <ph8> UnityDivide: Yup! i can configure the spinning cube and things!
[17:06] <nullie> this is vps
[17:06] <juso>  Anyone use a security scanner on a regularly basis here by any chance?  Looking to setup a daily remote scan of our little network, and email the results to myself.
[17:06] <nullie> and they only offer 6.10
[17:07] <shira> allright.. something crazy just happened. I rebooted (as demanded when [I think it happened after I removed virtualbox]) and find my desktop broken. I'm in low-graphics mode and my graphics card (GeForce 7 series) and monitor resolution isn't detected... Any ideas?
[17:07] <javaJake> PeterFA: mmmm.... Check the System menu...
[17:07] <UnityDivide> ph8, there should be an option in there somewhere to disable the roll-up effect
[17:07] <paulcros> pajamian, thank you
[17:07] <javaJake> PeterFA: I forget the name of the Software Sources executable... otherwise you could just use Alt+F2
[17:08] <hobo> zup pplz??.........
[17:08] <bazhang> shira: try sudo displayconfig-gtk if hardy
[17:08] <javaJake> bazhang: ah! thanks!
[17:08] <javaJake> bazhang: that's what I was here for originally, lol
[17:08] <pajamian> paulcros: it'sw supposed to be able to import and export pdfs, but I find it works better if you convert the pdf to a ps file yourself first.
[17:08] <sharperguy> Anyone know what causes realplayer streaming not to work properly in 8.04? (Its something to do with the totem helix plugin) - its simply gives garbled sound (tested on bbc listen again)
[17:09] <PeterFA> javaJake, what's the console way of doing it?
[17:09] <PeterFA> javaJake, I'm sure thre's a list of repos somewhere.
[17:09] <bazhang> javaJake: :)
[17:09] <david_-_-> hmm what are some cool linux iso images to download and to run?
[17:09] <hobo> How do i cahnge ma desktopp bakround????????????
[17:09] <P_Kable> How can I change the name of the volumes on my desktop PLEASE
[17:09] <jbroome__> david_-_-: dsl is a small, quick download to play with
[17:10] <javaJake> PeterFA: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:10] <bazhang> david_-_-: that is offtopic  best to look at www.distrowatch.com
[17:10] <hobo> 3lp me trampz!!!!!!!!!!!!
[17:10] <UnityDivide> hobo, right click on desktop -> change desktop background
[17:10] <darrylb> is just changing the /usr/bin/gcc symlink sufficient for swapping gccs?
[17:10] <ramkumar> david_-_: wolvix is nice to try too
[17:10] <pmetzger> any ideas on how to find a problem with the echi_hcd driver?
[17:10] <_adriaan> hobo: right click on your desktop > change desktop background
[17:10] <pajamian> P_Kable: right-click on the desktop and select "Desktop Background" from the popup menu.
[17:10] <ikonia> P_Kable: thats disk volume names
[17:10] <bazhang> hobo please speak english
[17:10] <_adriaan> argh, I'm slow
[17:10] <javaJake> PeterFA: uncomment any line with ONE # in front of it
[17:10] <ikonia> pajamian: do'nt misslead people
[17:10] <shira> bazhang: I'm in 800x600 resolution using vesa drivers. If I try to use the nvidia driver (I have nvidia-glx-new installed), it just reverts back to vesa.
[17:10] <ikonia> pajamian: how is desktop background going to change his disk volume name
[17:10] <david_-_-> jbroome__: thnks
[17:10] <javaJake> PeterFA: or, what i mean is, remove any single # from the beginnings of lines.
[17:10] <biagidp> Has anyone experienced random xserver restarts when minimizing/closing windows in 7.10?
[17:10] <pajamian> ikonia: oops
[17:10] <javaJake> Anyone recall the name of the Software Sources if I were to run it in a terminal? :P
[17:11] <javaJake> nullie: how is it going?
[17:11] <pmetzger> I seem to have no ability to use USB high speed storage devices without unloading the ehci_hcd driver.
[17:11] <^root^> I have a collection of fonts, where does ubuntu manages its fonts? so i can paste all there, is tehre any other step required?
[17:11] <bazhang> shira that command did not work? in Hardy? did you restart X server?
[17:11] <nullie> javaJake, mlocate worked good
[17:11] <javaJake> nullie: did you reinstall mlocate?
[17:11] <pmetzger> I was hopig Hardy might fix it but it didn't
[17:11] <hobo> bazhang, a am spekin eng. . . . . . tiz nawt ma fault dah am dizlexic
[17:11] <javaJake> nullie: great!
[17:11] <lastelement0> hey all, i have a MX3200 wireless logitcech keyboard. in gutsy i had all of the multimedia keys functioning but in hardy that functionality seems to be gone. anyone know of a way to addresss this?
[17:12] <shira> bazhang: the command works, the settings manager loads but I don't have the correct resolution available to me and it won't load the nv or nvidia drivers
[17:12] <eneias> oi
[17:12] <Tm_T> fop
[17:12] <eneias> alguem aki____????
[17:12] <PeterFA> javaJake, nope, firefox nor apache show up when I search for them in Adept
[17:12] <Tm_T> gah
[17:12] <ramkumar> javajake: in gnome its software-properties-gtk, not sure in kde though
[17:12] <javaJake> PeterFA: did you save the file, close out nano, and run "sudo apt-get update"?
[17:12] <^root^> I have a collection of fonts, where does ubuntu manages its fonts? so i can paste all there, is tehre any other step required?
[17:12] <nullie> humm
[17:13] <eneias> oi
[17:13] <nullie> to which package /usb/bin/xargs belongs?
[17:13] <skenmy> How can one create a keyboard macro?
[17:13] <PeterFA> javaJake, running.
[17:13] <javaJake> PeterFA: ramkumar just mentioned the name of the Software Sources program: software-properties-gtk
[17:13] <bazhang> eneias: this is ubuntu support channel do you have a support question?
[17:13] <fophillips> Tm_T: You rang?
[17:13] <Tm_T> fophillips: no I didn't sorry
[17:13] <gimplandecker> to root yes i tried it too to copy fonts in usr/share/fonts with the sudo mv(move
[17:13] <fophillips> Lies.
[17:13] <UnityDivide> ^root^, /usr/share/fonts?
[17:13] <pajamian> !fonts | ^root^
[17:13] <javaJake> PeterFA: you can run Alt+F2 and type in the above software name to run it (if you still have it installed)
[17:14] <PeterFA> javaJake, I haven't uninstalled anything.
[17:14] <javaJake> PeterFA: that will be easier to use than the terminal. Even I use it, because it keeps everything very organized. :)
[17:14] <bazhang> !etiquette > fophillips
[17:14] <pmetzger> nullie: you can find out what any file is in with dpkg
[17:14] <javaJake> PeterFA: OK
[17:14] <pmetzger> I guess no one has ideas on my USB problem, eh?
[17:14] <nullie> pmetzger, I found it strange what xargs belongs to findutils
[17:15] <pmetzger> nullie: why is that strange?
[17:15] <nullie> dunno
[17:15] <UnityDivide> pmetzger, what was your USB problem?
[17:15] <pajamian> pmetzger: only if you have that package installed, otherwise you need to use apt-file
[17:15] <PeterFA> javaJake, oh yeah, I see what I said. I don't have Gnome installed, sorry for the confusion.
[17:15] <javaJake> PeterFA: OK. :)
[17:15] <pmetzger> unitydivide: I can't seem to use usb high speed storage devices on my laptop
[17:15] <javaJake> PeterFA: in that case you will have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list to add and remove repositories
[17:15] <pmetzger> unitydivide: the workaround is to unload the ehci_hcd driver, then I can use them in low speed mode. which is very annoying.
[17:16] <vaibhav> Hi
[17:16] <PeterFA> javaJake, I did, and I'm waiting for updates.
[17:16] <vaibhav> all
[17:16] <javaJake> PeterFA: once apt-get update is done, software should re-appear.
[17:16] <pmetzger> I filed a bug report a long time ago and it was marked verified but nothing has happened.
[17:16] <javaJake> PeterFA: oK
[17:16] <God-Complex> hi yall, i was wondering what irc channel to use for random chatter, i am aware this is off topic but i cant find a good channel for random chat
[17:16] <UnityDivide> pmetzger, ah, forgive me for asking the obvious, but I'm assuming that you have high-speed usb ports
[17:16] <pmetzger> and I don't know how to go about debugging it.
[17:16] <PeterFA> javaJake, W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[17:16] <javaJake> PeterFA: are you online?
[17:16] <pmetzger> unitydivide: I do, and they work fine under BSD and Windows.
[17:16] <ramkumar> PeterFA: you should see the option to modify sources in Adept Manager in KDE
[17:16] <javaJake> PeterFA: can you identify which files?
[17:16] <pajamian> nullie: the command to find out what package a file belongs to is: dpkg-query -S filename
[17:16] <ramkumar> PeterFA: K menu > System > Adept Manager
[17:16] <javaJake> ramkumar: thanks. :)
[17:17] <Tyrion> hi, can someone helpme to get the Network Manager to connect to my CiscoVPN Tunnel ?
[17:17] <skenmy> Anyone know of any utilities to create a keyboard macro?
[17:17] <pmetzger> unitydivide: and even, I believe, under other versions of Linux in the past.
[17:17] <ramkumar> javajake: sure :)
[17:17] <bazhang> God-Complex: #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:17] <pmetzger> skenmy: depends on what you mean by a keyboard macro.
[17:17] <hwilde> !offtopic | God-Complex
[17:17] <javaJake> God-Complex: you can't beat #ubuntu-offtopic :D
[17:17] <hwilde> it actually mentions random chatter :)
[17:17] <vaibhav> Hello all
[17:17] <lastelement0> hey all, i have a MX3200 wireless logitcech keyboard. in gutsy i had all of the multimedia keys functioning but in hardy that functionality seems to be gone. anyone know of a way to addresss this?
[17:17] <hwilde> !keytouch | lastelement0
[17:17] <morghanphoenix> there a manual way to install the nvidia drivers aside from the script on the nvidia page that crashes x saying there is a different version of the driver and the module the installer just compiled.
[17:17] <bhsx> is there a metapackage for LAMP?
[17:17] <hwilde> !nvidia | morghanphoenix
[17:18] <hwilde> !lampp | Bhaal
[17:18] <hwilde> !lamp | bhsx
[17:18] <babolat> skenmy:  ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-299524.html
[17:18] <skenmy> pmetzger: I mean binding aone key to perform a series of keystrokes
[17:18] <genii> bhsx: No, you need to run tasksel and select it as a task.
[17:18] <PeterFA> Hmm, maybe the problem is the Canadian server.
[17:18] <bhsx> thanks
[17:18] <genii> bhsx: np
[17:18] <ramkumar> PeterFA: are all the repositories enabled?
[17:18] <morghanphoenix> Yeah hwilde, that helps, just said that wasn't working and the script wasn't either
[17:19] <PeterFA> ramkumar, yes.
[17:19] <javaJake> PeterFA: can you post the output of apt-get update?
[17:19] <javaJake> PeterFA: pastebin.ca
[17:19] <mirdin76> can anyone help me out? my install of Hardy fails at select and install right after xserver around 6% no matter which disk, drive or optical drive I use
[17:19] <pmetzger> skenmy: again, it depends on what you mean by that. you might mean "I want the window manager to intercept some keystrokes and do something no matter what application I'm in" or you may mean "I want this particular application to do something in response to a given keystroke"
[17:19] <PeterFA> javaJake, that might not be necessary because I changed the servers to the US one.
[17:19] <hwilde> morghanphoenix, do you have an error message or anything
[17:19] <bazhang> mirdin76: even the minimal?
[17:20] <pmetzger> mirdin76: do other versions of Ubuntu install okay?
[17:20] <PeterFA> javaJake, the update worked flawlessly this time.
[17:20] <shira> so I have an nvidia card (7 series) but it doesn't appear in the restricted drivers manager
[17:20] <PeterFA> javaJake, yeah, and it found firefox
[17:20] <javaJake> PeterFA: awlright! :D
[17:20] <pmetzger> unitydivide: no ideas then, right? :)
[17:20] <morghanphoenix> None in ubuntu, the driver manager just doesn't start, when I used the nvidia script I got plenty of errors and had to manually edit my xorg config to get back in to x
[17:20] <ramkumar> PeterFA: nice! it's the server then
[17:20] <babolat> i just got this error now. "Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/loc - open (11 resource temporarily unavailable)" and "Unable to lock the list"... what does this mean?
[17:20] <skenmy> pmetzger: well, I specifically want it to work with irssi, but I am unable to do so, so i'm currently wanting to get it just intercepting a keystroke and running a series - I don't use the keys for any other reaspm
[17:20] <PeterFA> javaJake, I'm going to write Canonical and let them know there may be a problem with there Canadian servers.
[17:20] <skenmy> *reason
[17:21] <hischild> !aptfix | babolat
[17:21] <gangsterlicious> ubuntu-xen-server contains hypervisor PKG 3.2. but ioemu still on 3.1. what's the way to get ioemu working? uninstall all xen-3.2* pkgs and install 3.1 ones?
[17:21] <PeterFA> javaJake, and it installed fine.
[17:21] <PeterFA> javaJake, not a hitch.
[17:21] <javaJake> PeterFA: OK. I'd stick with the Canadian servers after this has passed: the main servers get really slow sometimes.
[17:21] <UnityDivide> pmetzger, not a one, sorry :.
[17:21] <UnityDivide> :/
[17:21] <javaJake> PeterFA: especially on release day. :P
[17:21] <PeterFA> javaJake, yeah, but the Canadian server doesn't work.
[17:22] <neocrypter> anyone haveing issues getting the restricted ATI drivers to work on the new ubuntu release?
[17:22] <babolat> hischild: what does <<sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a>> do?
[17:22] <mophead> Morning y'all.  So, after running sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree, I consistentlly get this error: http://pastebin.com/m603a121b Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
[17:22] <pmetzger> skenmy: irssi has its own system for keyboard bindings I believe
[17:22] <PeterFA> Time to write them.
[17:23] <skenmy> pmetzger: yep, but it does not want to work with my keys
[17:23] <skenmy> hence why I am asking for a "global intercept" method
[17:23] <wkeenan> hi
[17:23] <morghanphoenix> well, trying something else, back in a bit.
[17:23] <mirdin76> bazhang: the alternate? yes, even the alternate
[17:23] <pmetzger> skenmy: I'd say you should debug why it isn't working with irssi directly
[17:23] <pajamian> PeterFA: if you go into software sources it has a function that checks all the servers for the fastest one.
[17:23] <jimmy51vinsky> does anyone here have experience with mdadm for software raid 5?
[17:23] <javaJake> mophead: the Canadian servers are down. :)
[17:23] <mirdin76> pmetzger: no, actually I have the same problem with gutsy
[17:23] <pmetzger> skenmy: no point in trying to find a shotgun to kill a fly.
[17:23] <ramkumar> mophead: looks like a bad server, try changing to another server and try
[17:23] <neocrypter> I try to enable the restricted ati drivers and when I come back I get just a blank screen
[17:23] <bazhang> !minimal | mirdin76 not the alternate
[17:23] <mophead> javaJake: that... that would explain a lot
[17:23] <pmetzger> mirdin76: does the hardware run another OS successfully?
[17:23] <skenmy> pmetzger: Because they are non-standard keys :)
[17:24] <mophead> javaJake: any idea how long?  ballpark estimate?
[17:24] <pmetzger> skenmy: what is a "non-standard key" in this context?
[17:24] <javaJake> mophead: "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" <- remove any "ca." from that file.
[17:24] <mirdin76> bazhang: oh, no I don't have any internet connection to it though
[17:24] <javaJake> mophead: that will give you the main servers instead
[17:24] <skenmy> pmetzger: on my G15 they are the "G" keys
[17:24] <javaJake> mophead: no idea
[17:24] <wkeenan> I cant find any info on the forums to help me with my 7.04 to 7.10 upgrade.  everytime I try to upgrade (GUi and 'do-release-upgrade) it tells me there are no upgrades
[17:24] <pmetzger> skenmy: but they send normal X events I imagine, yes?
[17:24] <javaJake> mophead: if you want, you can also use the GUI way: System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[17:24] <wkeenan> /etc/issue tells me 7.0.4
[17:24] <pmetzger> skenmy: if they send X events, they're not really "non-standard"
[17:24] <mirdin76> pmetzger: yeah, actually I was able to install gutsy xubuntu on it once in text mode, but it was a buggy install so I'm trying again from scratch
[17:24] <skenmy> pmetzger: well, xev picks them up
[17:25] <skenmy> pmetzger: but cat does not.
[17:25] <pmetzger> skenmy: if they send x events, that doesn't mean the tty driver knows about them.
[17:25] <pmetzger> skenmy: but any X app can know about them.
[17:25] <skenmy> irssi is not an X app
[17:25] <skenmy> so perhaps my question should be - how can I get my keys to be recognised by tty
[17:25] <ramkumar> mophead: or K menu > System > Adept Manager if you're in kde, heh
[17:25] <pmetzger> skenmy: xmodmap
[17:26] <Simonf1> my computer will not go to sleep. it is a Powerbook G4 and I get the error that it does not work with this type of machine. Is this true, or can it be fixed?
[17:26] <pmetzger> skenmy: or at least, xmodmap is one reasonable way, there are several.

[17:28] <Zasch> Hello. I just noticed that when I hover over an mp3 file, it starts to play it. This is a really annoying behaviour - is there any way to turn it off?
[17:28] <paynito> is fstab a tabseparated file?  do i hit tab after the /dev/sda1 and the mountpoint even if it makes it look wrong to my eye? or can i just type some spaces?
[17:28] <ikonia> Zasch: turn preview off in nautlius
[17:28] <alexandru> which package has cdev.h?
[17:28] <Pici> paynito: its whitespace separated, you can use tabs if you want
[17:28] <babolat> not sure if this is the right place to ask.. here goes.. where do i get layered version of that beautiful heron wallpaper i have now?
[17:28] <benanzo> paynito: spaces or tabs
[17:28] <mophead> javaJake: a-ha! thanks!  should I sudo apt-get upgrade next, and then try the install again?
[17:29] <tyler> Does anyone know of a way to do a mass permission change of files?
[17:29] <Zasch> ikonia: I'm not used to such simple solutions. Thanks :P
[17:29] <ikonia> babolat: check out the artwork forum on http://www.ubuntuforums.org
[17:29] <shira> so I have an nvidia card (7 series) but it doesn't appear in the restricted drivers manager
[17:29] <GG2> Yesterday I was trying Ubunto installed via Wubi and the power went down. Now I can't boot with it. It just brings the command line terminal instead of login user screen
[17:29] <pajamian> tyler: yes
[17:29] <tyler> shira: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[17:29] <ikonia> GG2: did the install finis ?
[17:29] <babolat> ikonia: been there just now.. nothin'
[17:29] <ikonia> babolat: make a post
[17:29] <tyler> pajamian: Would you enlighten me please?
[17:29] <shira> tyler: 8.04
[17:29] <pajamian> tyler: chmod terminal command.
[17:29] <tyler> shira: how long have you been using ubuntu
[17:30] <dfgas> os[Linux 2.6.24-16-generic x86_64] distro[Debian lenny/sid] cpu[2 x Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 2.80GHz] mem[Physical: 2.0GB, 76.4% free] disk[Total: 35.4GB, 85.6% free] video[nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GT] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA VIA VT82xx]
[17:30] <GG2> Yes insstall finished fine and it was working fine till power went down
[17:30] <unop> GG2, login at the command line and run.  sudo apt-get install -f
[17:30] <shira> tyler: 2 years ish
[17:30] <evand> GG2: Boot into Windows and run chkdsk C: /F /R from the command prompt (start->run cmd)
[17:30] <mophead> javaJake: yay, I have installed it!  Thank you very much!
[17:30] <ikonia> dfgas: please disable that script
[17:30] <tyler> pajamian: is it a gui?
[17:30] <babolat> GG2: please check this --> www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=566226
[17:30] <unop> GG2, you might also need this.  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[17:30] <evand> GG2: unless, as others have asked, you were in the middle of the install.
[17:30] <pajamian> tyler: it's a terminal command (ie not a gui)
[17:30] <tyler> shira: was this a clean install or an upgrade?
[17:30] <javaJake> mophead: you're welcome!
[17:30] <pmetzger> anyway, my usb bug was reported a long time ago: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/98608
[17:30] <pmetzger> but not much has happened to it.
[17:30] <tyler> pajamian: thank you
[17:30] <pantsu> a.org
[17:31] <shira> tyler: upgrade from 7.10. I aslo don't have a screens and preferences option in my Systems menu. I have to run displayconfig-gtk manually.
[17:31] <pajamian> tyler: also to change owners: chown
[17:31] <GG2> I tried chkdsk /f ... not sure what chkdsk /r for
[17:31] <ramkumar> pmetzger: unloading the ehci_hcd module solves the problem
[17:32] <mirdin76> 6%, why there? every time. I wonder what I'm doing wrong
[17:32] <tyler> shira: Hmmm, are you running compiz fusion, eh or where you in Gutsy?
[17:32] <shira> tyler: yes I was running compiz fusion, not anymore since my drivers are not detected
[17:32] <fiftyMIPsparc> hey all, i'm having some issues with dual monitors in hardy
[17:32] <unop> GG2, chkdsk /?  - ought to tell you what /r does
[17:32] <neocrypter> is the steps to install the flgrx drivers the same in the new version of ubuntu as it was in the old, cause the xorg.conf seems to be missing a lot of info such as an entry for the video drivers and such.
[17:32] <tyler> pajamian: thanks alot. I backed up my files on another drive and for some odd reason it set all permissions and ownerships of the files to root
[17:33] <kneeki> Bah! Is synergy in the Ubuntu repos?
[17:33] <mirdin76> pardon the newb question, but could it have something to do with the xserver configuration?
[17:33] <fiftyMIPsparc> i can't seem to get dual monitors working, i can get them to mirror each other but i can't have two distinct desktops. also, my main screen has a higher res than the second, is that a problem?
[17:33] <steel_lady> Hi! I have an .iso image movie on my hard. How can I see it without recording it?
[17:33] <tyler> shira: try 'compiz --replace' and or 'emerald --replace' in terminal
[17:33] <javaJake> !fglrx | neocrypter
[17:33] <unop> !iso | steel_lady
[17:33] <neocrypter> thanks
[17:33] <javaJake> neocrypter: that ought to be up-to-date
[17:33] <GG2> locate the bad sector and recover readable info
[17:33] <bazhang> steel_lady:  mount it with vlc for example
[17:33] <mophead> zasch: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-127699.html
[17:33] <paynito> steel lady mplayer or vlc should work
[17:34] <pajamian> tyler: I'm guessing you copied the files as root, for future reference, "cp -a" will do a recursive copy that preserves all permissions and ownership.
[17:34] <GG2> In any case, I already tried chkdsk. It showed no problem
[17:34] <shira> tyler: yeah, glx is not available
[17:34] <neocrypter> thanks, lol i was jut tryign to enable the bundled restricted driver and it messes up every time I enable it
[17:34] <Fassan> Anybody know the solution why some computer get stuck in the "BusyBox" when trying to install 8.0.4 on them? And you get the error "message drive not ready for command". I was able to install the older verision but when i upgraded to the new sam problem during bootup. I was also able to install the server Version of 8.0.4 but when I installed the ubuntu desktop i received the same error message.
[17:34] <tyler> shira: what's synaptic showing on the drivers?
[17:34] <pmetzger> ramkumar: it does not "solve the problem", it lets me read the device at low speed.
[17:34] <mophead> shira: #cmpiz-fusion
[17:34] <paynito> sudo apt-get install mplayer,    mplayer ~/downloads/mymovie.iso
[17:34] <mophead> shira: #compiz-fusion
[17:34] <pmetzger> ramkumar: backing up a laptop on low speed USB is not fun.
[17:34] <shira> mophead: this isn't a compiz-fsion prolbem =)
[17:34] <tyler> pajanian: I remember that ubuntu set root as the owner of the backup drive and I think that's what did it
[17:34] <Jeruvy> in session management what does Xclient relate to?
[17:34] <ramkumar> pmetzger: well, yes...my bad ;)
[17:35] <javaJake> paynito: mplayer rules the world. :D
[17:35] <aliosha> hello
[17:35] <pmetzger> ramkumar: it does indicate that the bug is in ehci_hcd though.
[17:35] <javaJake> aliosha: hi
[17:35] <neocrypter> just trying to get second life up and going lol
[17:35] <aliosha> does anyone know reason?
[17:35] <shira> tyler: i hae nvidia-glx-new installed
[17:35] <aliosha> and are there any comparable ubuntu programs?
[17:35] <unop> tyler, well, did or didn't you have to use sudo to copy the files across?
[17:35] <tyler> pajanian: I just don't want to have to manually go in with nautilus and change ownership of 25gigs worth of data
[17:35] <ramkumar> pmetzger: yup, and it is strange though...i never knew about it until it happened to one thinkpad i installed ubuntu on
[17:35] <paynito> at least on this 256 RAM system mplayer works great and totem looses frames
[17:36] <tyler> unop: no
[17:36] <devastator> ciao a tutti
[17:36] <mophead> shira: ...oh
[17:36] <bazhang> dfgas: please disable that script thanks
[17:36] <javaJake> neocrypter: there are a few reasons: 1) you upgraded instead of doing a fresh install 2) you are not online 3) there's a bug
[17:36] <GhostFish> If someone has some free time I could really use some help with as vmware installation.. ERROR: http://pastebin.com/d571a5be  PLEASE!!!!!
[17:36] <tyler> unop: I gave it root pw to access the drive and it let me do whatever
[17:36] <pajamian> tyler: drives don't have owners, but like I said, cp -a will preserve permissions and ownership if you need to back up in the future.
[17:36] <unop> tyler, it's easy.. just run this.   sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /path/to/backup_dir
[17:36] <tyler> unop: hell now I have to use gparted to change the flags on the back up drive just to access it.
[17:37] <unop> tyler, what filesystem does the drive/partition use?
[17:37] <javaJake> GhostFish: OK, let's walk through this. This is a compile error, right?
[17:37] <GhostFish> Yes
[17:37] <tyler> unop: /ext3
[17:37] <tyler> pajamian: are you sure? it wouldn't let me access it in my default account with out root permission
[17:38] <Delerious> anybody know why my 5 button mouse should show up as a standard 2 button, and how i might fix that?
[17:38] <unop> tyler, you don't need to use gparted, just modify permissions on the mount-point (or directories under it) and that's that.
[17:38] <javaJake> GhostFish: OK, now, the key to solving these is finding the _FIRST_ error that occurs. Can you find it?
[17:38] <bazhang> Delerious: this is gutsy or hardy; old xorg (gutsy) can edit; not quite sure how new minimal xorg handles that
[17:39] <pajamian> tyler: the parent directory can be set to onwership, but not hte drive itself.  If you had used a command that preserves ownership and permissions to perform the copy then the files and subdirectories would have been properly preserved, even if you run the command as root.
[17:39] <Cointoss> how or where do i set options saa7134 card=83 tuner=54  to the module saa7134?
[17:39] <tyler> no no I'm getting some crazy errors
[17:39] <tuirgin> 2
[17:39] <Cointoss> would that be modules.conf?
[17:39] <GhostFish> javajake: make[2]: *** [/tmp/vmware-config5/vmmon-only/linux/driver.o] Error 1
[17:39] <rMn> can you please send me a torrentleech invite<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[17:39] <tyler> pajamian: unop: thank you all, i'm gonna try it out now. I was baffled by all this so thanks for shedding light
[17:40] <bazhang> rMn: not here please
[17:40] <ikonia> rMn: thats nothing to do with ubuntu
[17:40] <stx_rich> #join solaris
[17:40] <ikonia> bazhang: too quick
[17:40] <pepi> hello, i am very happy with ubuntu
[17:40] <rMn> sorry, wrong one :)
[17:40] <ikonia> pepi: thats great to hear
[17:40] <pepi> can someone sujest a webhost application?
[17:40] <pajamian> tyler: for more info on the commands that you need now: "man chmod" and "man chown"
[17:40] <bazhang> ikonia: ;]
[17:40] <Delerious> bazhang: running feisty fawn still. any ideas?
[17:40] <unop> tyler, you need to use root if another user (including root) owns the mount-point -- root does own the directory by default on a new ext3 filesystem, you'll need to change it
[17:40] <rMn> oops
[17:40] <pepi> ;)
[17:40] <javaJake> GhostFish: no, that's not it
[17:40] <ikonia> pepi: browse through the package manager repos' with synaptic see what you fancy
[17:40] <bazhang> Delerious: may likely be the same
[17:40] <javaJake> GhostFish: run from the top to the bottom, and look for the first mention of "error"
[17:40] <kling0n> hmm when i try to unmount my usb devices, nautilus no longer closes open nautilus windows... it just gives me an empty error window
[17:40] <pepi> can u please suggest sth easy, since i am not a linux exper
[17:41] <javaJake> GhostFish: http://pastebin.com/m5144f413
[17:41] <ikonia> pepi: go to "system --> administrator --> synaptic package manager"
[17:41] <demonspork> what is a good non-kde full featured cd/dvd creator?
[17:41] <pajamian> tyler: but like I said, in the future, just use the cp command with -a to perform the copy and it will preserve all the permissions and ownership in the copy.  You can run that command as root.
[17:41] <ikonia> pepi: that opens a nice gui, you can then browse the packages available by category
[17:41] <nubunt1> anyone know what this means?   There was no SOAP-ENV:Body in the xml payload sent by the server.
[17:41] <steel_lady> ok, thanx!
[17:41] <piege> I have a problem installing new gnome theme .... it seems they only install on the root account... anyone can help me please?
[17:42] <bazhang> demonspork: brasero gnomebaker
[17:42] <GhostFish> javajake: ok  error: conflicting types for ‘uintptr_t
[17:42] <ikonia> piege: how are you trying to install them ?
[17:42] <pepi> thx i think i'll manage
[17:42] <smallfoot-> what license is the Human theme under?
[17:42] <piege> to install 'em I copied the theme to /use/shared/theme then open up appearance and select the theme I want
[17:42] <javaJake> GhostFish: exactly
[17:43] <javaJake> GhostFish: now, Google that with quotes. The quotes tell Google to look for taht exact phrase
[17:43] <ikonia> piege: thats not the best way, you probably messed up the permissions.
[17:43] <piege> erm ok?
[17:43] <ikonia> piege: open the "appearence --> theme" window and drag and drop the tar file into the window, it will install it for you
[17:43] <GhostFish> k
[17:43] <atlef> piege: easier to open apperance and drag and drop
[17:43] <piege> ok thanks
[17:43] <javaJake> GhostFish: the first result says "With kernel 2.6.24 you will need a patch to install Cisco VPN" <- this looks a bit tough, and we aren't working with Cisco VPN, so let's move on
[17:44] <javaJake> GhostFish: "HOWTO: Nvidia nForce SoundStorm APU" <- nope, not Nvidia
[17:44] <javaJake> GhostFish: "VMware Communities: vmware tools won't compile in Fedora 8" <- a little ways down, we find this. We are using Ubuntu, but maybe we can pull some tips from this.
[17:44] <God-Complex> hi yall, i was wondering what irc channel to use for random chatter, i am aware this is off topic but i cant find a good channel for random chat
[17:44] <ikonia> God-Complex: bazhang told you before
[17:44] <ikonia> docta_v: #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:44] <GG2> If I install Ubuntu on a different hard drive than Windows, what are the chances that something might go wrong and windows install is corrupted?
[17:44] <ikonia> God-Complex: #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:44] <ikonia> docta_v: sorry
[17:45] <God-Complex> sorry, my client went strange
[17:45] <GentilKiwi> hi guy ! :)
[17:45] <Cointoss> how do i set kernel module options like options saa7134 card=83 tuner=54 , do i have to instert that into modprobe.conf or how does that work?
[17:45] <javaJake> GhostFish: are you following?
[17:45] <Jeruvy> heya, switched my desktop on a 7.10 box from gnome to xfce, looks great but VNC doesn't work anymore?  It all seems running.  If I try to point to a display (box:1) I get a blank X screen, not the desktop?
[17:46] <GentilKiwi> maybe someone know a trick to disable the complet ipv6 support on ubuntu server 8.04 ?
[17:46] <GhostFish> yeah
[17:46] <bazhang> gg2 very unlikely in the extreme; the worst that would happen is that grub is installed badly and you have to reinstall it
[17:46] <pepi> i would like to install apache on ubuntu, is this possible?
[17:46] <ikonia> pepi: sure
[17:46] <fiftyMIPsparc> pepi: yes very much
[17:46] <pepi> it is not listed
[17:46] <javaJake> GhostFish: OK, notice the answer the guy gives to the Fedora 8 problem:
[17:46] <Cointoss> pepi: sudo apt-get install apache2
[17:46] <tyler> shira: any luck?
[17:46] <pepi> thx
[17:46] <ikonia> pepi: in the package manager, do a search for "apache" you'll find a list of applications like apache-prefork for example. Select that for installation and click" install"
[17:46] <Cointoss> np
[17:47] <javaJake> GhostFish: GhostFish part of his post says "When running vmware-config.pl after a kernel upgrade to <IP_ADDRESS>-64.fc8 I was getting the output below. However, after spotting your query I checked for a newer any-any patch (I had 113) and found 115. Having installed that patch, I have successfully rebuilt VMware."
[17:47] <nubunt1> There was no SOAP-ENV:Body in the xml payload sent by the server.
[17:47] <rtm1981> Hello :) I'm completely new to Linux... so a couple of stupid questions, first one of which is: I'm trying to change to a directory in console mode to install a program.. what is the command used in linux?  I did some more research and Googling for you, and found out that this error occurs in Ubuntu too, and the patch works in Ubuntu as well
[17:47] <rtm1981> hmmmm...
[17:47] <rtm1981> odd
[17:47] <piege> I deleted the theme and installed it again and no results ... I might add that ALLL theme only work for root
[17:47] <Cointoss> cd not CD
[17:47] <rtm1981> because I'm getting the msg "bash"
[17:47] <javaJake> GhostFish: the patch can be found here: http://taltan2.free.fr/dl/vmware/vmware-any-any-update-116.tgz
[17:47] <hischild> a nice value of -19 gives highest priority, correct?
[17:47] <ikonia> rtm1981: it's cd in linux too
[17:47] <fiftyMIPsparc> i can't seem to get dual monitors working, i can get them to mirror each other but i can't have two distinct desktops. also, my main screen has a higher res than the second, is that the problem?
[17:47] <unop> rtm1981, but mind the case tho .. on windows case does not matter, but on unix, it does
[17:47] <demonspork> how do I change the arrangement of awn icons??
[17:47] <pajamian> rtm1981: cd
[17:48] <javaJake> GhostFish: at this point you should be questioning whether or not you really want to compile VMWare, or just use a binary distribution. :)
[17:48] <Cointoss> fiftyMIPsparc: nvidia or ati?
[17:48] <GentilKiwi> nobody on ipv6 (desinstall) ?
[17:48] <rtm1981> so what does the error msg "bash" mean? :)
[17:48] <zionpsyfer> rtm1981: linux commands are case sensitive.  all uppercase CD is NOT the same as lowercase cd.
[17:48] <unop> hischild, errm, some versions of unix allow -20 too
[17:48] <skywalker> i have a problema with my ubuntu 8.04
[17:48] <pajamian> rtm1981: it's not an error message, it's jsut the prompt
[17:48] <bazhang> what is your *second* question rtm1981 ;]
[17:48] <skywalker> any help?
[17:48] <paynito> Jeruvy, cntrl-alt-f1  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[17:48] <paynito> sudo apt-get install x11vnc
[17:48] <ibleed> rtm1981, if cd doesn't work for you should probably make sure the slashes point forward
[17:48] <fiftyMIPsparc> cointoss: ati
[17:48] <javaJake> GhostFish: oh, and that patch is up-to-date, btw. It was created March of 2008
[17:48] <javaJake> GhostFish: so no worries there
[17:48] <hischild> unop, yeah, but it's about which value is higher or lower priority. Negative means higher right?
[17:48] <rtm1981> ok.. i see :)
[17:48] <bazhang> skywalker: we need a question first ;]
[17:49] <GhostFish> cool let me try one sec..
[17:49] <Cointoss> fiftyMIPsparc: have a look a aticonfig then
[17:49] <skywalker> i am in safe mode
[17:49] <jbroome__> hischild: from 'man nice'   Nicenesses range from -20 (most favorable scheduling) to 19 (least favorable)
[17:49] <skywalker> and i can't go out of this
[17:49] <unop> hischild, right -20 (is allowed on linux too) is the highest while +20 is the lowest
[17:49] <pepi> cointoss, where to find apache after installing?
[17:49] <Cointoss> fiftyMIPsparc: just enter the command and have a look at the --enable-monitor switch
[17:49] <pepi> sorry to boder u
[17:49] <fiftyMIPsparc> cointoss: thank you
[17:49] <bazhang> !binarydrivers | skywalker please read this
[17:49] <Cointoss> pepi: the web files in /var/www

[17:49] <pepi> oh.thx
[17:49] <Cointoss> fiftyMIPsparc: np
[17:50] <hischild> unop, thank you.

[17:53] <skywalker> any help?
[17:53] <hcoal> My ISP has a 2 gig cap, is there a nice utility for Ubuntu that will monitor how much bandwidth I use per month?  Something like Netmeter (http://www.metal-machine.de/readerror/) for Windows would be ideal.  Can anyone recommend something?
[17:53] <Simonf1> r00723r0: what kind of computer are you on?
[17:53] <ikonia> GentilKiwi: what's up ?
[17:53] <r00723r0> Simonf1, you mean architecture?
[17:53] <r00723r0> amd64.
[17:53] <ikonia> Orbixx: not appropriate here
[17:53] <Orbixx> ikonia: Would you recommend a channel?
[17:54] <cyclonut> Where do I find my user's trash folder?

[17:54] <r00723r0> Simonf1, WTF? I just said it's amd64.
[17:54] <pajamian> hcoal: I don't know, but your ISP probably has a meter you can check on thier website.
[17:54] <ikonia> GentilKiwi: I'm just reading the url on it

[17:55] <Cointoss> skywalker have you set your safe mode kernel as default? in that case change that in /etc/grub/menu.lst

[17:57] <Simonf1> r00723r0: can't help you. try asking again. sorry
[17:57] <bazhang> Delerious: that should work with feisty as well; if not then "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5" change to 6,7 (try this one first)
[17:57] <GhostFish> javajake: well it compiled thanks...
[17:57] <coolkid112> I was wondering if you could help me get back my menu bar. It dissapeared.

[17:57] <rtm1981> kk... thanks for answers to my previous question :P It worked fine now.. Ok, now for my second stupid question: In console mode I want to be able to use the sudo command, but I get prompted for username and password. I write in my username, but when prompted for the password I am unable to write anything... no matter which keyboard key i hit, nothing comes up o.0 Anyone know what this is about?
[17:57] <r00723r0> Simonf1, :(
[17:57] <r00723r0> pajamian, amd64.
[17:57] <skywalker>  cointoss:nothing happens on rebooting
[17:58] <skywalker> any help?
[17:58] <Delerious> i'll try it bazhang, thanks
[17:58] <bazhang> rtm1981: it just does not show up for security purposes
[17:58] <pajamian> r00723r0: the nonfree flash plugin is only for i386.  Try gnash instead.
[17:58] <Cointoss> skywalker: if i understand you right for some reason your ubuntu is not booting into the correct mode, you can change that in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[17:58] <flub> hi, just upgraded to 8.04 and now my partions mounted on /home/flub show up on the desktop again.  wasn't it supposed to only show partitions mounted in /media?
[17:58] <rtm1981> oh... but when I hit enter nothing happens
[17:58] <zvacet> rtm1981 :just type it you will not see anything but is works
[17:58] <atlef> have there been any updates to hardy yet?
[17:58] <r00723r0> pajamian, I tried gnash as well.
[17:58] <Simonf1> r00723r0: maybe this :-/ http://wakeless.net/archive/2007/05/flash-player-on-amd64-ubuntu
[17:58] <r00723r0> Doesn't work.
[17:58] <ikonia> atlef: no

[17:59] <Jeruvy> paynito: ok did that, no change.  I'm rebooting atm.
[17:59] <rtm1981> Well, anyways... I'll give it a try again. Thanks for answers :)
[17:59] <Cointoss> !grub > skywalker
[17:59] <Simonf1> r00723r0: that directed at me? use usernames.
[17:59] <zvacet> rtm1981 : you don´t see anything for security reason,bubt it is typing
[18:00] <pajamian> r00723r0: then you have a few choices, there is some wrapper you can use for 32 bit plugins in 64 bit FF, or you can try installing the 32 bit version of FF, or you can just install the 32 bit version of ubuntu.  I tried the first two options ages ago and decided that 64 bit ubuntu just isn't worth it on the desktop yet and have been on 32 bit since.
[18:00] <CruX|> hello what is wrong  with svnserver in ubuntu ?
[18:00] <ViErMaAlJ> hello
[18:00] <CruX|> Unknown error! In file /build/buildd/subversion-1.4.6dfsg1/subversion/svnserve/serve.c Line 444
[18:00] <javaJake> GhostFish: yw
[18:00] <bazhang> !hi | ViErMaAlJ
[18:00] <CruX|> this happends only on ubuntu on slackware it works
[18:00] <ikonia> CruX|: they are different systems
[18:00] <ikonia> CruX|: subversion is available as a pre-compiled package in the repo's
[18:00] <cart2man> i'm trying to forward X11 over ssh using ssh -Y but I get errors saying "could not open display"
[18:01] <CruX|> ikonia: i know but it is not working
[18:01] <r00723r0> pajamian, 32-bit Ubuntu will be phased out in a few years.
[18:01] <r00723r0> Remember 16-bit?
[18:01] <r00723r0> I sure don't.
[18:01] <ikonia> CruX|: that looks like your trying to compile it from source
[18:01] <iclebyte> windows 3.1?
[18:01]  * nainef does :(
[18:01] <bazhang> r00723r0: interesting but offtopic
[18:01] <CruX|> ikonia: no
[18:01] <pajamian> r00723r0: I do, it was called Windows 3.x
[18:01] <iclebyte> yea! my age is showing
[18:01] <ikonia> CruX|: how are you installing it ?
[18:01] <Rabiddog> pajamian: it was called amiga OS
[18:02] <iclebyte> first computer i ever had, 75mhz i386 with windows 3.1
[18:02] <Simonf1> r00723r0: did the last link work?
[18:02] <pajamian> r00723r0: at any rate, for now I still recommend 32 bit for desktop, and I doubt it will be phased out for quite some time.
[18:02] <CruX|> ikonia: apt-get install subversion....
[18:02] <r00723r0> Simonf1, nope.
[18:02] <nainef> mine was a timex sinclair 1000
[18:02] <gregbrady> Any ideas of why my grub gives an Error 15: file not found when booting up?  If I hit ctl-alt-del and reboot it has no problems, but it never starts on the initial power up
[18:02] <Simonf1> r00723r0: the wakelss link
[18:02] <zvacet> r00723r0 : but you can use it until then
[18:02] <nainef> back in the day
[18:02] <daYZman> hi
[18:02] <Rabiddog> 64 bit is still quite buggy
[18:02] <skywalker_> hi
[18:03] <iclebyte> nainef, you are old
[18:03] <r00723r0> Yes, but I'd rather stay 64-bit for "beta" testing.
[18:03] <skywalker_> nothing happens at menu.lst
[18:03] <nainef> :(
[18:03] <iclebyte> heh
[18:03] <nainef> hbeh
[18:03] <iclebyte> what year was that?
[18:03] <pajamian> r00723r0: up to you, but you will have problems with things such as flash.
[18:03] <ikonia> CruX|: it's just installed fine for me, no issues at all. I find it hard to see how your getting that error at install time, as that is a reference to a c++ file that shouldn't exist in a pre-compiled package
[18:03] <pakratt> gregbrady: is your bios detecting the drive?
[18:03] <cyclonut> anyone know where in the filesystem I can find my trash?
[18:03] <r00723r0> pajamian, right, and if I don't, someone else will.
[18:03] <nainef> eighty wumthing
[18:03] <nainef> sumthing
[18:03] <ikonia> gregbrady: usb disk in your machine ?
[18:03] <ikonia> gregbrady: looks like your disks arn't spinning up quick enough
[18:03] <r00723r0> My whiny will get the attention of 5 or so people in #ubuntu and someone will be persuaded to listen.
[18:03] <daYZman> i've just installed 1.7 and the gnome panel and the menu bars are red, how do i change that? i've tried changing to a custom Emerald theme, but they are still red.
[18:03] <dystopianray> cyclonut: try ~/.local/share/Trash/
[18:03] <CruX|> ikonia: are you using svnserve ?
[18:03] <r00723r0> *whiny voice.
[18:03] <ikonia> CruX|: yes
[18:04] <zvacet> r00723r0 : did you checked Ubuntu forums
[18:04] <iclebyte> mine was 1993 age 7 :D
[18:04] <gregbrady> ikonia, is it possible to slow down the startup?
[18:04] <nainef> you could order one in kit and build it from parts
[18:04] <bazhang> !ot
[18:04] <iclebyte> cdrom drive and everything
[18:04] <ikonia> gregbrady: not really, it boots as soon as the boot sector is ready
[18:04] <r00723r0> zvacet, nope.
[18:04] <r00723r0> I will check.
[18:04] <Simonf1> gregbrady: lol, you want so slow it down, that is a first
[18:04] <pajamian> r00723r0: IMO 64 bit Linux is quite good, the main problem with it on the desktop is you need proprietary stuff such as flash and adobe outright refuses to release a 64 bit version of the flashplayer let alone anything resembling open source.
[18:04] <cyclonut> thanks dystopianray that was it
[18:04] <iclebyte> my ubuntu box also has a cdrom drive..
[18:04] <iclebyte> ot =)
[18:04] <CruX|> ikonia: and can you send me an example configuration for single user ?
[18:04] <CruX|> ikonia: or i put somewhere my config, can you take a look ?
[18:04] <gregbrady> simonf1, yeah, it kind of goes against everything, doesn't it?
[18:05] <ikonia> CruX|: put it in a pastebin if you want
[18:05] <r00723r0> pajamian, I'd be boycotting Adobe if it didn't have a complete and utter lock on all multimedia.
[18:05] <pajamian> r00723r0: I hear ya
[18:05] <ikonia> CruX|: although what your seeing is not a config issue
[18:05] <r00723r0> The problem is that the open-source community cannot do anything better.
[18:05] <r00723r0> Which is surprising since the open-source community has the best programmers in the world.
[18:05] <CruX|> ikonia: yes please paste config on pastebin
[18:06] <dystopianray> r00723r0: adobe has recently opened up their flash specs so expect open source players to improve at a much greater rate
[18:06] <ikonia> r00723r0: if you wouldn't mind keeping your ill informed and off topic comments else where please.
[18:06] <ikonia> CruX|: your problem is not a config issue
[18:06] <Pici> !ot | r00723r0

[18:08] <root_____> whyn't print sometimes the ubuntu and debian the e character for example when I type my name? :S
[18:08] <ArthurArchnix> Installing vbox from the deb on the website works every time, but this time I decided to use synaptic and it doesn't work. I don't think it installed the modules needed for it to hook into my kernel. BUt there are like twenty different module packages available in synaptic... which package do I install?
[18:08] <dystopianray> ArthurArchnix: the one that matches the kernel you are using
[18:08] <getoo> is there like a package that reinstall the source.list
[18:09] <JKT8> could anyone help me with aplay -l saying "no soundcards found"? I have an Intel HD Audio 82801H, and dmesg has an alsa error: "hda-intel: no codecs initialized", this is with hardy

[18:10] <AnthroTechie> I need to fill out a bug report but never have before, I'm don't even know how to answer some of they're questions.  Can anyone help?
[18:10] <chell> what's the best tool to convert flac to mp3
[18:10] <ArthurArchnix> uname -a returns "2.6.24-16-generic", but synaptic package for that kernel says "You likely do not want to install this package directly, but the virtualbox-ose-modules-generic meta package instead." But that package says "This package will always depend on the latest module available for the generic kernel image." Which is pretty meaningless.
[18:10] <bazhang> AnthroTechie: what questions
[18:10] <qwiksand> dystopianray i'm new at this so i'm clueless as to what you are talking about...
[18:10] <ArthurArchnix> dystopianray: ^^

[18:16] <nhaines> Okay, sometimes Firefox and Nautilus begin to crash, and won't start up again.  If I restart X, I can log in with gdm, but I get a solid background for a while under than, and then a grey rectangle in the top left corner of the screen, like a window didn't finish drawing.  Nothing else happens then and I can still run console commands.  My system is in that state right now.
[18:16] <dystopianray> ArthurArchnix: it provides an init script too
[18:16] <bazhang> skinnymg1 what is a mess
[18:17] <nhaines> gregL: Secondary Master drive.
[18:17] <Chapai> !scp
[18:17] <ArthurArchnix> dystopianray: Gonna go pass your tip along to the forums where I was complaining. :)
[18:17] <gregL> nhaines: usb thumb drive
[18:17] <pakratt> gregL: what does that mean? do you just not have permission to view the directory or do the files not show up?
[18:17] <ouellettesr> hello, can some one help me? I just lost my background after a reboot and I cannot right click on the desktop, all I see is a black screen. Then I got this error message saying: Unable to set transparent background, You may be using a non compliant window manager that is not currently supported.
[18:18] <ouellettesr> Im using hardy btw
[18:18] <gregL> pakratt:correct
[18:18] <adamw_> MrFawkes: do a sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf, then run sudo sysv-rc-conf, its a great way of starting and stoping services at boot time
[18:18] <nhaines> gregL: You may be right.
[18:18] <jknight> ouellettest, what wm are you using?
[18:18] <bazhang> ouellettesr: try changing  the wm in session at login
[18:18] <nhaines> gregbrady: gregL is right.  It's not secondary IDE controller, that'd be (1,x), sorry.
[18:18] <MrFawkes> adamw_: thanks
[18:18] <Chapai> ouellettesr, did you remove nautilus
[18:18] <ouellettesr> jknight, using gnome, with compiz and emerald
[18:19] <ouellettesr> nope I havent done anything except for reboot
[18:19] <pakratt> gregL: can you access the directory as root?
[18:19] <jknight> ouellettesr, can you get a failsafe terminal from gdm?
[18:19] <szkud> how can you edit a or change permissions to an OSX Journaled drive?
[18:20] <dystopianray> szkud: probably need a mac to do that
[18:20] <bazhang> szkud: shared with ubuntu?
[18:20] <ouellettesr> jknight, everything works, like panel and all my apps, just the background is black and I cannot right click
[18:20] <yit4s> hey everyone
[18:20] <yit4s> i need some help here
[18:20] <nhaines> yit4s: just ask  :)
[18:20] <Axiin> Can someone help me with installing Ubuntu on an old white box?
[18:20] <ouellettesr> so yes, I can get to a terminal
[18:20] <Axiin> I'm getting a Hardware abstraction layer hald
[18:20] <jknight> ouellettesr, open a terminal and type in "nautilus" in the prompt, see if that works
[18:20] <gregL> pakratt:: I tried using sudo but it fails..I can;t seem to get root...I am used to Fedor where i could gain root...This my first ubuntu install so a bit lost..
[18:21] <szkud> bazhang: it's my macbook in target disk mode plugged into my linux computer
[18:21] <ouellettesr> Axiin, white boxes are not supported
[18:21] <Axiin> where do I start trying to troubleshoot this?
[18:21] <qwiksand> dystopianray that means i should check "Mount CD/DVD Drive, Host CD/DVD Drive and Enable passthrough"?
[18:21] <yit4s> well, i cant get my wireless working on ubuntu. currently using the hardy heron
[18:21] <szkud> it shows up as read-only
[18:21] <gregbrady> nhaines, sorry I never got the original reply from gregL.  Which physical drive is hd 2,0?
[18:21] <ouellettesr> Axxin just kidding
[18:21] <soulc> ok hardy not printing anyone?
[18:21] <Axiin> .... I was going to say =)
[18:21] <pakratt> gregL: to get to a regular root shell, just use "sudo -s"
[18:21] <Chapai> ouellettesr, can you open my computer or places, if it gives you an error about icon.. you need to reinstall nautilus
[18:21] <dystopianray> qwiksand: no need to enable passthrough, just use the host cdrom
[18:21] <nhaines> gregbrady: He said it's the first USB thumbdrive.  Assuming you don't have more than one IDE controller this is probably correct.
[18:21] <yit4s> i need to get my wireless working
[18:21] <xopey> yit4s: what wireless hardware are you using?
[18:21] <ouellettesr> jknight, nautilus opens my home folder
[18:22] <bazhang> szkud: target disk mode? what are you trying to do?
[18:22] <qwiksand> dystopianray yeah done..whats next?
[18:22] <ouellettesr> Chapai, yeah works fine
[18:22] <Axiin> The reason I specified it was a white box is because I'm not exactly sure what hardware is in it. I sort of bought it at a church rummage sale...
[18:22] <gregbrady> nhaines, I think there is some confusion here.  I have no usb drives.  Just 3 hard drives.
[18:22] <dystopianray> qwiksand: start the vm
[18:22] <yit4s> atheros built in wireless card
[18:22] <bazhang> Axiin: pastebin the contents of lshw please
[18:22] <gregL> pakratt : tried that (Googled) didn't work either.. I will go back and try again..thanks..
[18:22] <Axiin> I just want to make a server so I can remote to it while I'm at work and not worry about breaking some work hardware =)
[18:22] <szkud> bazhang: I'm trying to remove some files that screw up the boot: http://unsanity.com/support.php?vf=43
[18:22] <jknight> ouellettesr, and it doesn't restore the background?  strange.  try typing in "nautilus -replace"
[18:22] <neocrypter> IM back I folowed the binary driver install guide and it still messes up, any ideas its like its not really instlling the fglrx drivers, and the xorg.conf seems to be missing a lot of stuff I dot the aticonfig --initial and it errors saying there are no entries for a device driver.. its rather problemtic
[18:22] <Axiin> How do I do that Baz?
[18:22] <nhaines> gregbrady: (2,0) would be the primary drive on a second IDE controller.
[18:22] <ouellettesr> Axxin you might want to look into xubuntu
[18:23] <ek> Xubuntu is great.
[18:23] <gregbrady> nhaines, thanks!
[18:23] <eTiger13> why is this line not working for a search and replace?: find ./ -type f -exec sed -i 's/$mosConfig_sef = '0';/$mosConfig_sef = '1';/' {} \;
[18:23] <Axiin> xubuntu? I've never used a distro other than normal Ubuntu?
[18:23] <yit4s> i searched something on google, tried it and i screwd
[18:23] <bazhang> szkud: best to do that directly with your mac
[18:23] <DanaG> Well.... CGROUP_SCHED fixes SOME of the audio dropouts.....
[18:23] <szkud> bazhang: it's preventing me from even booting to the command line on my mac
[18:23] <nhaines> Axiin: Xubuntu is a supported variant of Ubuntu.
[18:23] <DanaG> but..... I still get dropouts when I close my laptop lid.
[18:23] <nhaines> !xubuntu
[18:23] <xopey> yit4s: what wireless hardware are you using?
[18:23] <ek> eTiger13: s/sed -i/sed -i .bak/
[18:23] <szkud> bazhang: that's why I'm trying to remove those files remotely
[18:23] <Axiin> Whats different about it compared to ubuntu?
[18:24] <dtolj> How to disable sound in Linux?
[18:24] <bazhang> szkud: what you are trying will further damage it--best to ask in ##apple
[18:24] <yit4s> i'm using atheros wireless card
[18:24] <yit4s> came with my alptop
[18:24] <xopey> yit4s: have you installed madwifi?
[18:24] <szkud> bazhang: alright
[18:24] <ouellettesr> jknight, that command does not work, it doesn't recognize -replace as an option
[18:24] <Le1> how  would I go about restoring any remains of a broken partition? I can only seem to see it in testdisk
[18:24] <Chapai> what is the format for scp when already sshed in the box
[18:24] <nhaines> Axiin: Instead of GNOME it has Xfce, instead of OpenOffice.org it has Abiword and Gnumeric, etc.  You can still install anything from Ubuntu because it is still Ubuntu.
[18:24] <neeto> I want to disable tooltips in gdm.
[18:24] <yit4s> i did
[18:24] <pakratt> gregL: so you're not able to get sudo to work at all? the password should just be the same as your regular user password. if that doesn't work, i'm lost, sorry
[18:24] <qwiksand> dystopianray VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic..
[18:24] <xopey> yit4s: sorry, i'm coming in to the covo late. you may have already answered that
[18:24] <eTiger13> ek, huh?
[18:25] <d0Ck> is it possible to update ubuntu straight from 6.10 to 8.04 ?
[18:25] <xopey> yit4s: do you see anything in dmesg or /var/log/messages to help?
[18:25] <DanaG> I still think madwifi is bad naming.
[18:25] <yit4s> but i dont know whether it's working cuz i'm a newb
[18:25] <DanaG> It's atheros, not MADtheros...
[18:25] <dystopianray> qwiksand: you need to install and load the virtualbox kernel modules
[18:25] <Axiin> Nhaines: would that help my "Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald" problem?
[18:25] <neocrypter> dont suppose there is a specific channel for ubuntu ati problems is there lol
[18:25] <DanaG> so where the heck do they get "MAD" from?  Mutually Assured Destruction?
[18:25] <Axiin> It's been hanging here for like... 2 hours
[18:25] <nhaines> d0Ck: No, you must upgrade from one release to another.
[18:25] <solusian> babolat: Are you there? I fixed the problem.
[18:25] <gregL> pakratt: yes it works for all other things except that drive..I may have to ftp the files to myself....
[18:25] <Axiin> he sysadmin here at work says it's an issue, and for me to google how to fix it but I'm not even sure where to start =)
[18:25] <yit4s> hmmm
[18:25] <nhaines> Axiin: Probably not, but it will probably run faster if you do get things working.  Xubuntu wasn't my suggestion.  :)
[18:25] <ek> eTiger13: If you're using 'sed -i', you should suppy a .bak extension so the backup file is created. Also, run with '-e' as well. Try: sed -i .bak -e "s|old_string|new_string|"
[18:25] <JKT8> since no one answered me right away here, I just posted my problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=779052 if anyone is willing to take a look, thanks!
[18:26] <yit4s> ii'm not sure cuz i'm a total newb
[18:26] <babolat> solusian: so sorry, whicj problem was that again?
[18:26] <d0Ck> nhaines: and from CD, if i have my hardy burned there ?
[18:26] <ouellettesr> Axxin the biggest advantage to running Xubuntu is because it uses less system resources to run the OS. Perfect for older pc's
[18:26] <Le1> how would I go about restoring data from a partition?
[18:26] <Axiin> ahhhh
[18:26] <polysilicon> I installed ubuntu-desktop package from kubuntu, my boot screen still shows the kubuntu logo. how can I change this to ubuntu logo? I have selected GDM and disabled KDM
[18:26] <solusian> babolat: WiFi suddenly stopped workig for no reason at all.. Here's how I fixed it..
[18:26] <yit4s> i did tried madwifi thing but i'm not sure whether it;s working or not
[18:26] <Axiin> Thank you Ouellettsr
[18:26] <pakratt> gregL: what file system is it? is it mounted correctly?
[18:26] <ouellettesr> np
[18:26] <xopey> yit4s: are you using network manager
[18:26] <qwiksand> dystopainray so go back to synatpic and install all the modules there
[18:26] <fde> polysilicon: throw /usr/bin/gdm into /etc/X11/default-desktop-manager
[18:26] <Axiin> Ok... so what IS this "Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald" ?
[18:26] <nhaines> d0Ck: It doesn't matter.  You still must upgrade to 7.04, then 7.10, and then you can upgrade to 8.04 LTS (from CD if you have it).
[18:27] <xintron> I need a good music player that can handle my iPod and last.fm submits
[18:27] <babolat> solusian: well, my congrats to you ;)
[18:27] <solusian> babolat: I tried a usb wifi dongle in between, that didn't really work out.. so I downloaded a .deb from wicd and removed network-manager through the synaptic manager. Installed wicd and that fixed it.
[18:27] <MythGuy> Can anyone help me with reading/writing my NTFS drive?
[18:27] <daYZman> i've just installed 1.7 and the gnome panel and the menu bars are red, how do i change that? i've tried changing to a custom Emerald theme, but they are still red. do i need a GTK theme?
[18:27] <bogey-> You can go LTS to LTS
[18:27] <nhaines> Axiin: It's a standard status notification.  HAL is software that sits between the hardware and other services to make it easier to support softwrae.
[18:27] <babolat> solusian: clever and creative u are ;)
[18:27] <bazhang> !ntfs | MythGuy
[18:27] <solusian> babolat: Just thought I'd share considering that you had others inquire about the issue as well. Maybe it'll help for them as well.
[18:27] <gregL> pakratt: Yes it is mounted...i can view the files,just not able to retrive them...
[18:27] <eTiger13> ek, how do i make it search within a specific file?
[18:27] <atlef> xintron: what about amarok or rhytmbox?
[18:27] <nhaines> bogey-: He's starting with 6.10.
[18:27] <gil> hi
[18:27] <polysilicon> fde, I did that
[18:27] <bogey-> ohh
[18:27] <d0Ck> nhaines: is it possible to uninstall ubuntu without affecting any other OSs on my pc ?
[18:27] <bogey-> then its a do-release-upgrade for him
[18:27] <Le1> how would I restore parts of an ext3 partition?
[18:27] <dtolj> eTiger13: use grep "search" "file"
[18:27] <xopey> yit4s: have you gone out to the madwifi website to see if your specific hardware is supported
[18:28] <xintron> atlef: Well, I have amarok but it doesn't find my iPod automatically
[18:28] <bazhang> le1 what happened
[18:28] <dystopianray> qwiksand: install the virtualbox modules for your kernel
[18:28] <pakratt> gregL: what are the permissions of the files? it sounds like you have permission to read the directory but not the files
[18:28] <babolat> solusian: will remember that.. though u coming in and helping out in the room might be a better idea if we want people to get fixin'
[18:28] <nhaines> d0Ck: yes, it is, but if you have GRUB installed on your Ubuntu partition, it is hazardous.  Removing Ubuntu's partitions and then reinstalling Ubuntu 8.04 will let you boot everything again.
[18:28] <yit4s> i did but i'm not so sure with everything as i dont know nothing about linux/ubuntu
[18:28] <solusian> Yeah, true enough!
[18:28] <solusian> I have some spare time now anyway, so may as well.
[18:28] <eTiger13> dtolj, im trying to do a search and replace on a folder and its subdirs looking for a line in a specific file in each of those subdirs
[18:28] <ek> eTiger13: As dtolj says. Or, you can state the file's name with -name "filename" to find.
[18:28] <Le1> bazhang: well it got wiped, some stuff got overwritten, i'm hoping I can at least restore parts of my home directory, such as my Firefox bookmarks. I can see the partition if I do a scan in testdisk
[18:29] <jack_> anyone know a good way to record streamed audio?
[18:29] <gregL> pakratt: let me check...
[18:29] <jack_> audacity just isn't working :S
[18:29] <ouellettesr> does anyone else have any idea why my background is black / not working?
[18:29] <ek> eTiger13: Ah. I see what you mean. You only want it to create backups and replace in files that contain 'string'?
[18:29] <neocrypter> looking for a ubuntu ati expert before I break my desk from banging my head on it :D
[18:29] <bazhang> le1 best option is to get a live system rescue cd from www.distrowatch.com imo
[18:29] <yit4s> xopey: i need a clear solution, those from the web confuse me
[18:29] <Le1> ill go see
[18:29] <Le1> thanks
[18:29] <gvorr> ouellettesr: i had that problem too
[18:29] <gvorr> i had to log out a couple times
[18:29] <ouellettesr> gvorr with hardy?
[18:29] <gvorr> ya
[18:30] <ouellettesr> ok ill try that
[18:30] <eTiger13> ek, yeah, im trying to change a config option in a file that is in every subfolder
[18:30] <d0Ck> nhaines: when i am installing 8.04 i just have to delete ubuntu partition ?
[18:30] <gil> i have a problem with Kubuntu 8.04 can you help me?
[18:31] <babolat> !ask | gil
[18:31] <Le1> thats a point, how do I burn a disc when I am booting with a live CD already?
[18:31] <nhaines> d0Ck: Yes, that's basically it.
[18:31] <ouellettesr> gvorr, lol that worked
[18:31] <dtolj> eTiger13: you can use something like this: find . -iname "*" -exec grep -H "search query" {} \;
[18:31] <gil> ok tankyou
[18:31] <pajamian> eTiger13: perl in combination with find works well for that.
[18:31] <d0Ck> nhaines: and what file system does it have ?
[18:31] <gvorr> ouellettesr: good stuff
[18:31] <gil> is a problem with ati drivers
[18:31] <ek> eTiger13: find . -type f -exec grep -q "search_string" {} \; -exec sed -i .bak -e "s|old_string|new_string|" {} \;
[18:31] <d0Ck> nhaines: to identify it
[18:31] <babolat> ouellettesr: :) -->https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToRipRealaudioStreamsToMp3
[18:31] <dtolj> eTiger13: this only finds the querry in all files in curr dir dont know about replacing it
[18:31] <xintron> atlef: Do you know if amarok och rythmbox handles iPod Playlist folders?
[18:32] <eTiger13> pajamian, do you have the syntax i could use
[18:32] <gregL> pakratt: I unpluged the drive and put it back in now it seems to work...Thanks for the suggestions....
[18:32] <anas> how to get virtualbox to work with usb
[18:32] <nhaines> d0Ck: ext3fs by default.  You may also want to delete the swap and have the installer use the "largest contiguous free space" to make repartitioning automatic.
[18:32] <anas> ?
[18:32] <bazhang> anas the ose one does not
[18:32] <yit4s> i'll rephrase my problem: i need to get my atheros wireless card to work on ubuntu hardy. i'm only a day old user ubuntu. can anybody help me??
[18:32] <babolat> gil: more infor on your problem would make stuff easier for us :)
[18:32] <ek> eTiger13: What I just typed is something I use all the time. It'll work.
[18:32] <atlef> xintron: see, now you lost me. I have no idea. But try their homepages for more info
[18:32] <pajamian> eTiger13: find . -name filename -print0 | xargs -0 perl -pi -e 's/foo/bar/'
[18:32] <anas> how to get virtualbox to work with usb ?
[18:33] <dtolj> eTiger13: yea i would go with what ek said
[18:33] <babolat> !wireless | yit4s
[18:33] <Chapai> how do i use scp when already in the system
[18:33] <ouellettesr> wth i just got logged out?? or x just crashed on me
[18:33] <gil> ok tank you i have a problem also with language
[18:33] <bazhang> anas get the one from their website
[18:33] <gil> sorry
[18:33] <xintron> atlef: okej, do you have any clue how to get amarok to autodetect my iPod?
[18:33] <anas> bazhang thanks
[18:33] <d0Ck> nhaines: so i just delete the ext3 partition and thats all ?
[18:33] <atlef> xintron: it should do that by default
[18:33] <bazhang> gil what is the problem
[18:34] <bazhang> xintron: this is gutsy or hardy
[18:34] <nhaines> d0Ck: That and the swap partition.  You can run the Desktop CD and do it from there.  Just turn swap off first (right-click on it in GPartEd) ebfore deleting.
[18:34] <ouellettesr> lo jabba grew a tail
[18:34] <eTiger13> ek, am i supposed to replace the .bak with something? it just repeated cant read .bak no such file over and over
[18:34] <babolat> gil: all in ONE line.provide all the relevant details to your issue.. and append the name of the person u're talking to if there is ;)
[18:34] <MythGuy> my NTFS partition refuses to be mounted.
[18:34] <nhaines> d0Ck: After all that, run the installer.  But remember that this will delete all your Ubuntu data.
[18:34] <subopt> I'm running 7.10 on i386. My Update Manager is offering to upgrade me to '8.04 LTS'. Is upgrading this way as risky as this kinda' thing used to be? Or should i just back up what i need, and reinstall all from scratch?
[18:34] <yit4s> i installed madwifi (i think i did( but i'm not sure it worked or not
[18:34] <xintron> bazhang: Now you lost me
[18:34] <MythGuy> >_>
[18:34] <pajamian> eTiger13: ek's will work too, I'm just more of a perl person so I tend to use perl.
[18:34] <MatBoy> is it possible to specify on what monitor a application should start ?
[18:35] <shane2peru> anyone know of a good contact mangagement program?
[18:35] <bazhang> xintron: which version of ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04
[18:35] <babolat> subopt: not really, if you've got a decent Internet connection and all your updates ar good
