[00:16] <sebner> Guest58827: you are welcome
[00:16] <theraptor> where can i get help for ubuntu server?
[00:17] <Gun_Smoke> theraptor, #ubuntu-server

[00:17] <Gun_Smoke> thank god
[00:18] <webble> question, i can't watch youtube on ubuntu. any other software i need to donwload?
[00:18] <IndyGunFreak> webble: flash?
[00:18] <evilbug> usser- if i "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" on the server i installed, then it would be just like xubuntu?
[00:18] <theraptor> Gun_Smoke: thanks
[00:20] <hyperstream> sebash_, nope
[00:20] <webble> i already have macromedia flash plugin installed, but can't seem to play youtube. do you know why
[00:20] <wirenik> webble: do you have any other multimedia apps running?
[00:20] <G3N0> video.google.com
[00:20] <l337ingDisorder> good afternoon wise ones, can anyone tell me a way to extend the default length of notification popups in the gnome desktop popup stack? It seems by default they expire after 5 seconds, but that's not nearly long enough. (I'm specifically trying to extend the expiry time for Evolution calendar notification popups)
[00:21] <Billll> hey my Xubuntu menu seems to be gone any way I can get Xubuntu menu to pop back up D:
[00:21] <hyperstream> sebner, still isnt working proper
[00:21] <webble> hm.. no
[00:21] <wirenik> webble: have you restarted firefox?
[00:21] <Sarge_TJ> webble: you have restarted your browser after the flash player installation, haven't you?
[00:21] <webble> i did
[00:21] <hyperstream> !grub
[00:21] <theraptor> webble: what does it say then you try to play a video?
[00:21] <l337ingDisorder> or alternatively, an application that can monitor the system tray / status area for a specific icon (specifically the evolution notification alarm icon) and provide a notification popup when it sees the icon in the tray?
[00:21] <webble> it was playing for a while. and then i switched to another video, and it is not playing anymore
[00:22] <webble> there isnt any error message, really. just greyed out area
[00:22] <Kagee> Any way to autorun a command fin i insert a spesifick usb-stick?
[00:22] <webble> lemme try close everything and reopen again
[00:22] <IndyGunFreak> webble: so it was playing for a while, and all of a sudden stopped?
[00:22] <theraptor> webble: it seems like your processor is maxxed out, try restarting your computer
[00:22] <webble> not all the sudden. it stopped when i switched to another video
[00:23] <mgolisch> l337ingDisorder: not that i know of, maybe look if evoluion has a setting for that
[00:23] <webble> ok, lemme try. thanks
[00:23] <hyperstream> rebooting brb
[00:23] <l337ingDisorder> mgolish: already looked everywhere in evolution and in gconf-editor -> apps -> evolution
[00:23] <Billll> hey my Xubuntu menu seems to be gone any way I can get Xubuntu menu to pop back up, I cna see the desktop still just not the menu tray D:
[00:23] <Denise> how I can know who is asking who I m?
[00:24] <l337ingDisorder> i think what I'm going to have to do is recompile evolution from source with the constant for the popup notification display length manually extended... I just don't know where to look within the source code for the specific setting
[00:24] <theraptor> Billll: try restarting your computer
[00:24] <evilbug> is installing "xubuntu-desktop" in ubuntu server the same as just having xubuntu?
[00:24] <G3N0>  error: C compiler cannot create executables
[00:24] <G3N0> i keep getting that error
[00:24] <theraptor> evilbug: yes
[00:24] <IndyGunFreak> evilbug: yeah, close enough
[00:24] <Ahadiel> G3N0, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[00:24] <wirenik> G3N0: are you using GCC
[00:24] <G3N0> noob-language please?
[00:24] <myron> is it possible to create a launcher using a sudo command that automatically enters the root password?
[00:25] <IndyGunFreak> G3N0: what are you compiling?
[00:25] <Omlette> I wouldn't recommend it, myron.
[00:25] <wirenik> G3N0: open the terminal and type "sudo apt-get install build-essential" without the quotes
[00:25] <G3N0> kk
[00:25] <J-_> !ubottu
[00:25] <G3N0> im trying to get a wi-fi scanner to run
[00:25] <IndyGunFreak> myron: that would be a bad idea...
[00:25] <G3N0> << linux nub
[00:25] <myron> why?
 did that and still same results I do not see xubuntu menu tray D:
[00:26] <IndyGunFreak> myron: you know why windows has so much trobule(well, one reason anyways), because every user has unfettered access to pretty much do as they please... thats why root is important.
[00:26] <G3N0> wirenik: its installing something
[00:26] <IndyGunFreak> myron: if you want to create the icon, fine, just make it ask you for the password.
[00:26] <Omlette> myron: Actually, let me back up. What application do you want the launcher for?
[00:26] <wirenik> G3N0: It's supposed too ;)
[00:27] <G3N0> oh.... woah it worked
[00:27] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[00:27] <wirenik> G3N0: it's the libraries GCC needs to compile C code
[00:27] <nich0s> Is there anyway to have a seperate background for each desktop in GNOME. I know that it's possible in KDE.
[00:27] <wirenik> G3N0: glad it worked!
[00:27] <mgolisch> l337ingDisorder: no idea, maybe grep though the source for something with notify
[00:27] <G3N0> wirenik: i dont know if it worked though....
[00:27] <IndyGunFreak> nich0s: i believe, there's a program you can download to do it... but naturally, no i don't think so.
[00:27] <wirenik> G3N0: Oh, ok
[00:28] <nich0s> IndyGunFreak: Ok. I'll start googling like a madman. THANKS
[00:28] <G3N0> wirenik: yeah i suck at linux i cant even get a proggy to run
[00:28] <nich0s> .quit
[00:28] <Billll> hey my Xubuntu menu seems to be gone any way I can get Xubuntu menu to pop back up, I cna see the desktop still just not the menu tray D:
[00:28] <wirenik> G3N0: i'm a beginner myself, barely been using it for a month...don't worry you'll get the hang of it quick.
[00:29] <G3N0> wanna help me just get one thing to run? im a really fast learner
[00:29] <hyperstream> when i boot my pc. stage 1.5 loads. if i choose windows xp - it then loads stage 2 -- with a OLD OLD boot loader. how do i fix this so i can use the Current 1.5 bootloader and have it run windows xp rather than a old grub ?
[00:29] <wirenik> G3N0: I'll do my best
[00:29] <hyperstream> or how do i look at all the MBR 's cause i believe the mbr for hd0,0 is on the secondy drive or something
[00:31] <hyperstream> !grub
[00:32] <hyperstream> why doesnt grub auto detect my windows partition?
[00:32] <IndyGunFreak> hyperstream: usually it does
[00:32] <Omlette> Does Grub autodetect if you install another Linux OS, such as Kubuntu?
[00:33] <Sarge_TJ> hyperstream: it should definetly do that... I mean I've installed various distros on my computer and GRUB has always detected it...
[00:33] <Chrishj82> hi! anyone interesten in helping me with a touchpad problem? the only thing thats doesent work:(
[00:33] <hyperstream> IndyGunFreak, Sarge_TJ  ok if you two could just hear me out for a sec
[00:33] <hyperstream> ill just type it up- its a bit of a wierd situation
[00:34] <Sarge_TJ> hyperstream: go ahead
[00:35] <hyperstream> before i built this new pc, i had windows and ubuntu. but since getting a new pc ive decided to reinstall windows then ubuntu --- on a new drive with the old one in as a secondry. since i didnt have a ubuntu install cd i decided to try and fix the grub load to point at sdb6 but failed. so i just waited till next day and installed ubuntu on sda3 (partition 3)
[00:35] <hyperstream> ubuntu grub loader works
[00:35] <hyperstream> but didnt detect a windows. so i manually added it to look at hd(0,0) for windows, when i choose it in the menu on grub, it loads the OLD grub and everything is screwed
[00:36] <hyperstream> let me pastebin some info for you guys
[00:36] <hyperstream> !pastebin
[00:37] <IndyGunFreak> hyperstream: boot a Windows boot disk, and run fixmbr and fixboot, on the windows disk...
[00:37] <Sarge_TJ> hyperstream: I think it loads the old GRUB because it's installed on the first section of that particular hard drive
[00:37] <hyperstream> hmm
[00:37] <hyperstream> http://paste.ubuntu.com/38070/
[00:38] <IndyGunFreak> Sarge_TJ: thats what it sounds like, if he runs fixmbr and fixboot on that drive, it should erase grub on that drive, and boot windows from the working grub.
[00:38] <hyperstream> one thing i did notice is. when the first menu comes up it says: stage1.5 then choosing windows xp - loads stage 2 (the old grub list)
[00:39] <Sarge_TJ> IndyGunFreak: yeah, you're right ; hyperstream: try out what IndyGunFreak suggested
[00:39] <billll_> hey
[00:39] <hyperstream> so what i need to do is boot from winxp. fixmbr and fixboot - then load up the ubuntu live and reset the root hd(0,2) and setup hd(0,0) correct?
[00:39] <klndz3> Can someone help me with a wireless networking issue? My WiFi worked fine until the power went out while I was updating, and now it does not detect any networks. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38071/ That is ifconfig http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38072/ and this is lspci
[00:39] <neuling> does someone know how to configure the xserver for a via 3sg unichrome pro grafikscard?
[00:40] <billll_> I am in xubuntu and menu tray has not popped up but I can see desktop anyway I can startup menu tray?
[00:40] <IndyGunFreak> hyperstream: don't know about resetting the root... because grub is gettign you to Ubuntu ok, right?
[00:41] <IndyGunFreak> hyperstream: again, boot a Windows disk and run fixmbr and fixboot, on the drive that has the OLD grub on it(not the one that gets you to windows), then reboot, and use the working grub to boot Ubuntu and add your windows entry to grub from there.. then reboot and try your windows entry
[00:42] <hyperstream> IndyGunFreak, ubuntu and windows are on the same drive.
[00:42] <IndyGunFreak> oh ok..
[00:42] <IndyGunFreak> i thought you said they were on different drivefs
[00:43] <hyperstream> IndyGunFreak, yeah its very wierd.
[00:43] <hyperstream> IndyGunFreak, well thats the thing it could be
[00:43] <IndyGunFreak> oh geez
[00:43] <IndyGunFreak> hyperstream: either they are, or they aren't, on separate drives
[00:43] <hyperstream> its almost as if two grub's are installed onto the drive
[00:43] <EvilDennisR> hmm, how do I remove the restricted drivers tray icon ?
[00:43] <hyperstream> IndyGunFreak, how can i tell for sure?
[00:43] <kc8pxy> what other ubuntu channels are there?
[00:43] <G3N0> QUESTION: When I type "su" to gain root privs, it won't give me authentication even with my password. So I always have to type "sudo" before everything, gets annoying. Anyone help?
[00:44] <EvilDennisR> G3N0: You have to change the root passwd
[00:44] <kc8pxy> G3N0:  sudo su  ??
[00:44] <kc8pxy> :)
[00:44] <IndyGunFreak> hyperstream: why not backup all important data to the second drive.. completely format the 1st drive, install Windows to it, then partition, and install Ubuntu to it?.. problem solved
[00:44] <hyperstream> hd(0,2) and hd(1,6) these both are results of a find /boot/grub/stage1
[00:44] <EvilDennisR> G3N0: sudo passwd root (you can get a root shell with sudo -s btw)
[00:44] <yowshi> is there a way to reset the partition table for a disk without rebooting?
[00:44] <Guest15267> hey, im looking for a tool to let me monitor bandwidth usage from a graphical interface or an easy to use command line prog
[00:44] <hyperstream> IndyGunFreak, i just did that :)
[00:44] <IndyGunFreak> that makes no sense
[00:45] <Guest15267> i also want to get statistics such as cumulative download
[00:45] <IndyGunFreak> hyperstream: well have you tried thsoe two entries in grub?... (0,2) and (1,6)
[00:45] <klndz3> Can someone help me with a wireless networking issue? My WiFi worked fine until the power went out while I was updating, and now it does not detect any networks. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38071/ That is ifconfig http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38072/ and this is lspci
[00:46] <hyperstream> IndyGunFreak, what i have done is: root hd(0,2) setup hd(0,0) hopeing install the ubuntu grub to the 0,0 parition
[00:46] <uurr> Hello can anyone give me some advice about programming on linux i am new comer and which programming language is suitable for me ?
[00:46] <hyperstream> IndyGunFreak, atleast thats how i figured it works
[00:46] <IndyGunFreak> apparently not
[00:47] <Sarge_TJ> uurr: python is very easy to learn
[00:47] <shockwave_> lsdjf
[00:47] <mgolisch> yeah python ftw.
[00:47] <EvilDennisR> disable restricted drivers tray icon? Anyone? Anyone... ?
[00:47] <Sarge_TJ> uurr: I'll give you a link to a great tutorial, just wait a sec...
[00:48] <chip> hi all. . . have a ? regarding Wubi. is there a line i should get in?
[00:48] <wirenik> webble, are you there?
[00:48] <shockwave_> how can query if apt-get has a specific package? specifically, svn client an server
[00:48] <uurr> Thank you Sarge
[00:48] <hyperstream> IndyGunFreak, why when i choose windows xp root (hd0,0) it goes to another grub list? the first partition on the drive is my windows xp install
[00:48] <Sarge_TJ> http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/
[00:48] <IndyGunFreak> hyperstream: i have no idea.... you've definitel;y got some weird things goin on.
[00:48] <mgolisch> shockwave_: apt-cache search
[00:48] <shockwave_> mgolisch, thanks
[00:49] <hyperstream> whats the difference between stage 1.5 and stage2 grub boot loaders?
[00:49] <chip> have a ? regarding Wubi. is there a problem with kubuntu download atm?
[00:50] <kc8pxy> hyperstream:  IIRC,   1.5 is a on-mbr helper to find and load stage2
[00:50] <wirenik> users #ubuntu
[00:50] <hyperstream> IndyGunFreak, ahh the difference is the where its allocated i think
[00:50] <billll_> anybody know how to stream FLV?
[00:50] <IndyGunFreak> probably
[00:50] <billll_> onto justin.tv ?
[00:51] <CheesyWeasel> how do i lock a folder with a password so everybody needs a pw to enter it. even me.
[00:51] <yowshi> is there a way to get the kenrel to use a new partition setup on a disk after using fdisk on a harddrive without rebooting?
[00:51] <CheesyWeasel> and the password isnt neccessarily my root pass
[00:51] <earthmeLon> npope-la2top you there?
[00:51] <mgolisch> yowshi: yeah
[00:51] <yowshi> mgolisch: how?
[00:51] <Hypnus9> Hi room. How do I get certain icons to show up on the desktop, such as home and trash?
[00:52] <mgolisch> yowshi: hdparm -z i think
[00:52] <chip> have a ? regarding Wubi. is there a problem with kubuntu download atm?
[00:52] <Nobuddy> ouch. Ok, do not add ColorDepth "16" to xorg.conf under Heron. Kabooey.
[00:52] <Omlette> Wow.
[00:52] <Omlette> That'll give you a really bad screen.
[00:52] <Nobuddy> It appears there is no way to set color depth to 16 bits in this release
[00:52] <Nobuddy> bad screen would be OK for what I want to do
[00:53] <hyperstream> does anyone know how to get a wireless keyboard working on the grub menu. it used to before this install lol
[00:53] <yowshi> mgolisch: grrr says device is busy even though it isnt doing anything
[00:53] <underandy> can I install ubuntu minimal on eeepc 900
[00:53] <IndyGunFreak> underandy: i don/t see why not.
[00:53] <mgolisch> yowshi: no partitons on it are mounted?
[00:53] <yowshi> mgolisch: nope
[00:54] <mgolisch> yowshi: hm i have no idea then
[00:54] <underandy> IndyGunFreak: you know how to prepare the usbstick
[00:54] <legend2440> Hypnus9: in terminal   gconf-editor     browse to   /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible
[00:54] <IndyGunFreak> underandy: no i do not.
[00:54] <yowshi> mgolisch: heh i just double checked and there was 1 mounted partition i thought i had unmounted but hadnt
[00:54] <IndyGunFreak> !install | underandy try looking here...
[00:54] <yowshi> mgolisch: thank you very much for the help
[00:54] <Nobuddy> Any other suggestions on how to set hardy to 16 bit color depth, outside of xorg.conf?
[00:55] <chip> underandy i saw a really good guide on that the other day... i just googled it and don't have the link anymore, but it was on the ubuntu wiki
[00:55] <hyperstream> IndyGunFreak,  does this look correct: http://paste.ubuntu.com/38073/
[00:55] <underandy> chip: ok, gonna check
[00:55] <mgolisch> Nobuddy: no
[00:55] <IndyGunFreak> hyperstream: i realy don't know... not that familiar w/ grub errors, but i would say, "Failed"... would be a bad sign
[00:56] <CheesyWeasel> anybody?
[00:56] <chip> underandy i think it was called "unetbootin" and you can tell it to specifically install it to the stick... it's a winders app tho
[00:56] <bravo7> Hi hi
[00:56] <bravo7> I need help on my grub
[00:56] <Hypnus9> thanks
[00:56] <chip> have a ? regarding Wubi. is there a problem with kubuntu download atm?
[00:56] <billll_> !camera
[00:56] <billll_> BS
[00:56] <bravo7> I somehow delete my grub by mistake how can i fix it to boot it normaly
[00:56] <billll_> moo
[00:56] <bobertdos> What's up, bravo7?
[00:56] <billll_> hey I need some help with camera frive installation
[00:56] <billll_> =P
[00:56] <bravo7> bobertdos How can i fix my ubuntu boot grub
[00:57] <bobertdos> !grub > bravo7
[00:57] <wols> bravo7: you need to reinstall it
[00:57] <wols> !grub | bravo7
[00:57] <yowshi> mgolisch: sudo hdparm -z /dev/sdc is the full command right?
[00:58] <nosmelc> I just installed Ubuntu today for the first time, and I have to say I'm very impressed with it.  I was wondering how I was able to access the shares on my Windows machine?  Is that Samba?
[00:58] <billll_> hey I need some help with camera driver installation
[00:58] <billll_> !camera driver
[00:58] <billll_> moo
[00:58] <bobertdos> nosmel: Yes, it is Samba.
[00:58] <jdd> CheesyWeasel: you could make the folder owned by another user, and take away read permissions for everyone else, then you'd have to use that user's password to read in it through su. I don't think you can just password protect a general folder, but that probably depends on your filesystem.
[00:58] <chip> nosmelc do i know you? maybe? (=
[00:58] <ASrock> is there a keyboard shortcut to lock my screen in ubuntu 8.04?
[00:59] <nosmelc> chip dunno.  maybe :P
[00:59] <chip> "go auburn" and all that
[00:59] <mgolisch> yowshi: yeah
[00:59] <bobertdos> nosmelc: Yes, it is Samba.
[00:59] <bravo7> !paste > bravo7
[00:59] <Ahadiel> ASrock, try Ctrl + Alt + L
[00:59] <IndyGunFreak> ASrock: don't know about a keyboard shortcut, but i know there's a panel applet you can add to your panel, and when you click it, it locks your screen
[00:59] <yowshi> mgolisch: am i supposed to do anything after that?
[00:59] <nosmelc> I don't pull for Auburn :)
[00:59] <chip> yeah i figured that (=
[00:59] <ASrock> Ahadiel: thanks it worked
[00:59] <bravo7> bobertdos is this correct http://paste.ubuntu.com/38075/?

[01:00] <ogre> I have an external hdd with a fat32 filesystem. ubuntu is not recognizing the disk and windows is telling me it needs to be formatted. is there anyway to force a mount for a drive thats not being recognized? I dont see it in the media folder

[01:00] <cdecarlo> hi, quick poll, I've got a bcm43xx wireless card, should I go with fwcutter or ndiswrapper
[01:00] <cdecarlo> ?
[01:00] <chip> nosmelc there's a handful of guys in our regular channel that would help for the asking, if you're into it.
[01:01] <billll_> !webcam
[01:01] <billll_> thank you
[01:01] <aletinel22944> Hi all! I'm here looking for a help, I have a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) pci card, after switching from kubuntu 7.10 to Ubuntu 8.04 i can scan annny ssid buttt not log in. anyone can help?
[01:01] <rybotsky> help
[01:01] <billll_> Billll :D
[01:01] <rybotsky> can anyone tell me how to put a trash can on my desktop
[01:01] <chip> nosmelc last i checked samba wasn't all that simple... then again a lot has changed since then.
[01:01] <yowshi> mgolisch: then this is wierd. cause i repartioned a drive to turn it's 3 partitions into one big one with fdisk. then used hdparm and when i go to mount /dev/sdc1 it is showing me the old sdc1 partition
[01:01] <jdd> ogre: sudo mount /dev/<devicenum> foldername I do believe
[01:01] <IndyGunFreak> rybotsky: open a terminal.. Apps/Accessories/Terminal
[01:01] <chip> have a ? regarding Wubi. is there a problem with kubuntu download atm?
[01:01] <nosmelc> chip oh.  I was just using Gnome to access the file share
[01:01] <ogre> jdd:  thanks ill give it a try
[01:02] <bobertdos> bravo7, I wouldn't worry about menu.lst just yet. Use a LiveCD to reinstall grub first.
[01:02] <nosmelc> I was wondering if that was a built-in Gnome feature or if it was using Samba
[01:02] <jdd> ogre: you may not be able to mount it, you could try adding -o force if it doesn't, but it it's bad you may be out of luck
[01:02] <underandy> hmm
[01:02] <chip> yeah it's samba which is a kinda addon
[01:02] <underandy> when I am trying to make a partition on my ssd disk, just a / and tries to install i get a error
[01:02] <nosmelc> I was surprised at how easy it was
[01:02] <underandy> :(
[01:03] <underandy> "File system was not cleanly unmounted! You should run e2fsck."

[01:03] <nosmelc> chip what's the regular channel?  sorry
[01:03] <chip> nosmelc yeah last time i tried it it was a HUUGE pain in the ass, but that was a couple yrs ago
[01:03] <chip> #cheggit
[01:04] <nosmelc> ohh
[01:04] <nosmelc> yeah :)
[01:04] <chip> i'm hurt.
[01:04] <nosmelc> I haven't been there much lately.  need to come back
[01:04] <bravo7> bobertdos how again? bc i have 2 linux one pclinuxos and ubuntu
[01:04] <chip> i'm crying on the inside, but nobody is listening.
[01:05] <Kumorigoe> Does Ubuntu pull less power than Windows?
[01:05] <nosmelc> I've always been interested in the idea of replacing Windows with a Linux distribution for a while now
[01:05] <emack> hi, umm, im really new to ubuntu hardy and linux in general. I actually installed it all today. But I've come to the point where I've installed the video card driver and when I go to the visual effects menu and ask it to change the effects to normal or Extra, the screen goes completely white
[01:05] <bobertdos> bravo7: If you have a LiveCD, please follow the tutorial given by the bot.
[01:05] <ogre> jdd:  its actually not coming up at all. i have device named as 500x2 but i cant find it anywhere
[01:05] <chip> nosmelc i used Wubi . . .
[01:05] <nosmelc> Wubi?
[01:05] <jdd> Kumorigoe: depends on what it's running on, I would think. For laptops, my experience is no, but the utility "powertop" can help with that a lot
[01:05] <G3N0> How do I install libraries through terminal?
[01:05] <yowshi> mgolisch: i dont nuderstand why it is still showing the old sdc1 when it should be showing the new empty partition
[01:06] <chip> nosmelc hold 1.
[01:06] <Kumorigoe> Powertop?
[01:06] <bobertdos> G3N0: using sudo apt-get install ....
[01:06] <jdd> ogre: it should be something like /dev/sd[letter][number] where number is the partition you need
[01:06] <mgolisch> yowshi: it might not have been able to reread the partitontable
[01:06] <chip> nosmelc http://wubi-installer.org/  <<  iinstalls a virtual drive on your windows C: (or wherver) and makes no changes to the lower bits of the hd.
[01:06] <mgolisch> yowshi: just reboot
[01:06] <chip> nosmelc and it uninstalls like a windows program. very cleanly.
[01:07] <nosmelc> chip ohh ok.  I have a test machine I can put Ubuntu on
[01:07] <chip> nosmelc to put it bluntly it is the effin bomb. the end.
[01:07] <yowshi> mgolisch: in the middle of some downloads important downloads and rebooting would interupt them possibly corrupt them so i dont want to reboot
[01:07] <yowshi> mgolisch: if i could i would just cancel the fdisk action
[01:07] <bravo7> bobertdos im not sure how to skip the diskpartiation
[01:07] <chip> nosmelc  well, the reason i want to install it is so i can take full advantage of my main desktop.
[01:07] <nosmelc> but I'll take a look at Wubi too ;)
[01:07] <yowshi> mgolisch: and go with the current setup for now
[01:08] <bravo7> bobertdos do i  have to do anything to my boot swap?
[01:08] <bobertdos> bravo7: What do you mean "skip?"
[01:08] <chip> obviously with avirtual drive, drive performance isn't as fast, but for dabbling or cheggitout, it's plenty.
[01:08] <bravo7> bobertdos https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:08] <muuselt> hello there I was just wondering if you know where addons are stored on linux systems. I think I've found them in the home/mozilla/firefox/extensions folder but I wanted to check there are no other vestiges. I've just removed afew and wanted to make sure they're purged.
[01:08] <bravo7> bobertdos GUI backup repairing and reinstalling grub
[01:09] <ogre> jdd:  i have about 30 sd- entries in there. perhaps the last one?
[01:10] <jdd> ogre: you can see which ones are mounted by looking at /etc/mtab . If it's not in there, it's not currently mounted.
[01:11] <master_> hi
[01:11] <yowshi> mgolisch: sudo fdisk -l sees the right partition table for sdc so wy 2ouldnt it mount right
[01:12] <master_> ı need eutelsat w3  for kaffeine channel list and ı where paste
[01:13] <ambrose_> does any 1 has experience in setting up DNS servers
[01:13] <ambrose_> im getting a confusing error
[01:14] <Phantomas> hello can you tell me a vm program to try ubuntu intrepid please
[01:14] <ambrose_> virtual box
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> Phantomas: vmware, virtualbox..
[01:15] <ambrose_> i guess nobody here has experience in DNS  servers
[01:15] <ambrose_> ehh
[01:15] <matlab> ambrose_, try #DNS and #bind
[01:15] <Phantomas> IndyGunFreak: does virtualbox support .iso?
[01:15] <webble> i plugged in my external hard drive, and ubuntu gives me a popup error "cannot mount volue. Unable to mount the volume "external data'." could someone help?
[01:15] <ambrose_> i am
[01:15] <ambrose_> lol
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> not sure.
[01:16] <chip> nosmelc have fun. cyl.
[01:16] <ambrose_> I need help on configuring the server
[01:16] <nosmelc> bye chip. thanks
[01:16] <ambrose_> lol
[01:16] <Phantomas> IndyGunFreak: ok thanks anyway
[01:16] <matlab> ambrose_, lunaphyte is a friend of mine, he should help you.
[01:16] <chip> have a ? regarding Wubi. is there a problem with kubuntu download atm?
[01:16] <ambrose_> who is that?
[01:17] <matlab> ambrose_, the administrator of both #dns and #bind
[01:17] <nosmelc> I was able to access the share on my Windows machine, but I couldn't use the computer name.  I had to use the IP address.  Why is that?
[01:17] <matlab> ambrose_, you will see him in the channe;
[01:17] <matlab> ambrose_, you will see him in the channel
[01:17] <ambrose_> ohh in freenode im guessing
[01:18] <ambrose_> thx im heading there now then
[01:18] <matlab> ambrose_, didnt you say you already went there?
[01:18] <linxeh> nosmelc: some WINS issue maybe ?
[01:18] <ambrose_> i thought u ment sumthing else
[01:18] <matlab> ambrose_, quote "i am" quote "lol"
[01:18] <ambrose_> sorry
[01:18] <ambrose_> =]
[01:18] <matlab> ambrose_, dont worry ;D
[01:19] <nosmelc> linxeh don't know.  I thought name resolution was done by broadcasts when both machines are on the same subnet
[01:19] <matlab> ambrose_, once again, #dns and #bind
[01:19] <matlab> ambrose_, on freenose
[01:19] <ambrose_> okie thx
[01:19] <matlab> *freenode
[01:19] <matlab> ambrose_, np
[01:19] <mgolisch> i dont think the coresponding gio/gvfs module does that
[01:20] <rebel_kid> whats a printer brand that is ubuntu compatible
[01:20] <mgolisch> i think you need to install samba localy and have the name resolution system use it as a dispatcher for netbios name resolution
[01:20] <matlab> rebel_kid, most of them are ubuntu compatible
[01:20] <rebel_kid> well i know lexmark isnt, and i hate hp, Brother?
[01:21] <matlab> rebel_kid, Brother?
[01:21] <matlab> rebel_kid, Ive never had a printer that didnt work in Ubuntu - but I have never had a lexmark
[01:21] <rebel_kid> matlab: the printer brand Brother, is it ubuntu compat
[01:21] <matlab> rebel_kid, I see.
[01:21] <rebel_kid> matlab: never get a lexmark, u will be writing ur own drivers to get the darn thing to work
[01:21] <rebel_kid> trust me i did it
[01:21] <usser> rebel_kid, yes brother has some support for some of its models
[01:22] <rebel_kid> thnx
[01:22] <matlab> rebel_kid, thanks for the advice
[01:22] <matlab> If I use the command "sudo tar -c foldername" will tar archive preserve all the permissions of the folder and its subfolders and their subfolders?
[01:22] <usser> rebel_kid, http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html
[01:22] <IndyGunFreak> rebel_kid: some lexmarks work ok.
[01:23] <matlab> rebel_kid, cant you wine the windows drivers?
[01:23] <lart> #leon
[01:25] <EvilDennisR> Anyone? Disable restricted drivers tray icon? Anyone? Anyone... ?
[01:25] <IndyGunFreak> matlab: no, you would not be able to wine the printer drivers.. wine typically does not control hardware, it only allows you to run some software
[01:25] <Kumorigoe> Well, after a week plus of Ubuntu, I can say that I'm largely satisfied with the experience thus far.
[01:26] <master_>  ı need eutelsat w3  for kaffeine channel list and ı where paste
[01:27] <IndyGunFreak> Kumorigoe: good... stick w/ it.. don't get frustrated.. is the best advice i can give you, if you're tryin to break the clutches of MS
[01:27] <Kumorigoe> Just on the laptop
[01:27] <Kumorigoe> My desktop is my gaming system
[01:27] <root> hello
[01:27] <matlab> If I use the command "sudo tar -c foldername" will tar archive preserve all the permissions of the folder and its subfolders and their subfolders?

[01:28] <Nyad> hi. every single help document on help.ubuntu.com states that in the console, control+u clears the current line, when it actually only clears what's before the text cursor
[01:28] <Iron_Blood> Can I get help with my mail server?
[01:28] <matlab> Iron_Blood, what mailserver do you have?
[01:28] <Truefire> Mail servers are a bit hard to explain for IRC...
[01:29] <Guest44835> which alternatives to the msn do i have_

[01:30] <Guest44835> nothing comes up
[01:30] <komodin> ubuntu sUx
[01:30] <Guest44835> the shell doesn't find any packages
[01:30] <matlab> Guest15267, are all your repositories enables? Does the package exists?
[01:30] <Guest44835> andi remember itused to do it
[01:30] <Guest44835> yes
[01:30] <Guest44835> i just put

[01:31] <Guest44835> and nothing comes up
[01:31] <matlab> Guest15267, check your repositories
[01:31] <Guest44835> mmm
[01:31] <matlab> also apt-get update helps
[01:31] <Guest44835> how do i do that
[01:31] <Guest44835> could you be more specific_
[01:31] <Guest44835> ?
[01:31] <FloodBot1> Guest44835: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:32] <hyperstream> IndyGunFreak, somewhat a change- when i load it loads the new grub menu when i choose windows xp is just reloads the new grub list(rather than the old) i dont know the admin password to my friggen xp install, tried the only ones i would have used. so i can use the recovery
[01:32] <perillux> Should I be able to suspend and hibernate?  Because I've never been able to do so since the day I installed Ubuntu.  and I have spent a LOT of time trying to get it working, but nothing has done the trick.  I gave up and now I'm just wondering, is it possible, or is suspend/hibernate on a laptop with ATI card a lost cause?
[01:32] <matlab> ambrose_, any success?
[01:32] <|thunder> anyone ? mouse settings menu in kde ? is there ?
[01:32] <[mbm]> anyone get insserv working under hardy?
[01:32] <master_> i find kaffeine channels list where my file system?
[01:32] <Moshe> hi, how it is possible to copy boot sector from iso to hd partition using linux (ubuntu) tools? thanks
[01:32] <ambrose_> nope
[01:32] <ambrose_> none
[01:32] <Guest44835> how do i check my repositories_?
[01:32] <hyperstream> brb
[01:32] <matlab> ambrose_, what server are you using?
[01:32] <ambrose_> DNS
[01:32] <Truefire> yes, there are mouse settings...
[01:32] <IndyGunFreak> hyperstream: like i said, i'd back up files to the secondary drive, completely format the main drive, and reinstall Windows and Ubuntu there.
[01:33] <Truefire> in kde
[01:33] <bastid_raZor> |thunder; for kde help you could try #kubuntu ..they would know more about kde
[01:33] <dorito> how do you kill a process that doesnt want to shutdown? like im trying to install limewirepro.deb and it froze installing sun java. I want to re-run it but i cant close it
[01:33] <matlab> ambrose_, no shit. what program?
[01:33] <ambrose_>  bind
[01:33] <perillux> dorito: go to terminal and type "top"
[01:33] <|thunder> bastid_raZor; thank you
[01:33] <matlab> ambrose_, the ubuntu default? or did you configure it otherwise/
[01:33] <bastid_raZor> |thunder; good luck
[01:33] <Truefire> To kill program, (alt-f2) and then type 'xkill' and hit enter
[01:33] <Rinderwahn> how do i access my ubuntu shared drives thru windows over my local network
[01:33] <perillux> dorito: then look for the program that you want to kill and look at it's number in the PID column
[01:34] <matlab> Guest15267, under Administration
[01:34] <perillux> dorito: then type "kill -9 PID"
[01:34] <Truefire> or just click the program
[01:34] <dorito> kk thanks
[01:34] <matlab> ambrose_, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to point it at another machine?
[01:34] <dorito> I try clicking the program
[01:34] <dorito> but nothing happens
[01:34] <dorito> it stays idle
[01:34] <matholio_> Looking for wisdom regarding my weird audio issue.  I plug usb headphones in and I can here the ubuntu startup sound though them.  but I cannot get Amarock to play through them.  The headphone volume control affects the speaker volume.  argh.  any advice ?
[01:34] <Truefire> No, after you run xkill
[01:34] <perillux> dorito: did you try simply going to the system monitor and closing it?
[01:34] <Truefire> with alt-f2
[01:35] <dorito> perillux where exactly?
[01:35] <bastid_raZor> !sound | matholio_
[01:35] <gremlin> matholio is ur amarok playin without em?
[01:35] <dorito> I cant recognize the name of that process on that top list
[01:35] <perillux> dorito: System>Administration>System Monitor
[01:35] <Rinderwahn> how do i access my ubuntu shared drives thru windows XP over my local network
[01:35] <root_> i dont know how to deal with them
[01:35] <matlab> ambrose_, Guest15267 : no replies... whatever.  I got stat work to do.
[01:36] <perillux> dorito: then go to the processes tab.  It's like pressing ctrl+alt+delete in windows
[01:36] <matlab> exit
[01:36] <root_> i just cant find any package
[01:36] <root_> theay are not on the list
[01:36] <mrdoller> hiiiiiiiiiiiii
[01:36] <yowshi> dammit even a reboot didnt fix it
[01:36] <perillux> dorito: which you can do by the way.  You can bind the system monitor so when you press ctrl+alt+delete it comes up
[01:36] <bastid_raZor> root_; you could search on packages.ubuntu.com first.
[01:36] <Nyad> perillux, except it doesn't work when an app is fullscreen :)
[01:36] <mrdoller> wat sup alllllllllllllllllllll
[01:37] <perillux> Nyad: it does sometimes though, but not all apps
[01:37] <Nyad> not games...
[01:37] <PfiOuLaLa> hi, no french people there ? :s
[01:37] <perillux> Nyad: a few, ya.  WINE apps do I think
[01:37] <_numbers_> bonjoir
[01:37] <PfiOuLaLa> bonsoir
[01:37] <perillux> Nyad: and Urban Terror if I'm not mistaken
[01:37] <dorito> perillux I still cant recognize the process on the list
[01:37] <dorito> there's tons of processes

[01:38] <master_> can who help me
[01:38] <PfiOuLaLa> yups sorry, ok thx
[01:38] <perillux> dorito: in the terminal list when you type "top"???  or in the system monitor list?
[01:38] <zzl> !noob
[01:38] <dorito> in the system monitor list
[01:38] <Nyad> perillux, yes wine apps do, thanks I didn't realise :)
[01:38] <dorito> it doesnt show the path of the files that are being executed
[01:38] <dorito> so I cant tell
[01:39] <perillux> dorito: it might be called file-roller  ?? is that in there?
[01:39] <delta9thc1> dorito: top -ax | grep java   try this
[01:39] <dorito> hm no
[01:39] <zzl> why doesn't ubuntu shipping company accept my disk requests???
[01:39] <perillux> dorito: or gdebi or g-debi, something like that?
[01:39] <dorito> ok lets see
[01:39] <kitche> zzl: : where are you located? but it does take time for them to be shipped to you
[01:40] <zzl> kitche: yeah, they won't even accept my request in the first place

[01:40] <dorito> gconf-helper
[01:41] <dorito> oh theres something called java
[01:41] <perillux> dorito: you can view the command that ran it if you go to edit>preferences in the system monitor and scroll down and check "command line"
[01:41] <dorito> is that it?
[01:41] <delta9thc1> dorito: sorry , ps -ax
[01:41] <perillux> dorito: that's probably it...
[01:41] <delta9thc1> ps rather than top

[01:46] <bastid_raZor> master_; kaffiene is a kde app.. ask in #kubuntu
[01:46] <YgorOnLine> good evening. im running ubuntu in a 5gb partition, and im without free space disponible. can anybody tell me what i can to remove from my system, like unused drivers or doc files?
[01:46] <master_> yes  bastid
[01:46] <master_> ı insatall kaffeine
[01:47] <master_> ı scan channel
[01:47] <yowshi> i dont know why but for some reason while fdisk seems to be working it isnt. mount even after a reboot is still showing only the oririginal first partition on the hard disk even though the other 2 dont exist any more
[01:47] <master_> have signal and snr but not add channel list
[01:47] <r3d> ird#
[01:47] <bastid_raZor> master_; ask in #kubuntu .. they will know more about a kde application.
[01:48] <master_> ı need eutelsat w3 channel list
[01:48] <codyman> i have a usb soundblaster live card... volume control recognizes it under "change device" but not under preferences... thus it doesn't play back through the usb but instead plays music through the speakers built into the laptop
[01:48] <zzl> #kubuntu
[01:50] <yowshi> anyone able to help me figure out why this hard drive isnt partitioning right?
[01:50] <komodin> ubuntu is a shit
[01:50] <bastid_raZor> yowshi; it sounds like your harddrive is going bad
[01:51] <meoblast001> i noticed a bug in Compiz-Fusion, where should i post this?
[01:51] <yowshi> baswhich would be extrem;y unusual since this hard drive is practically ununsed
[01:51] <yowshi> unused
[01:51] <kitche> meoblast001: launchpad
[01:51] <meoblast001> i cant find Compiz-Fusion in launchpad
[01:52] <bastid_raZor> meoblast001; #compiz-fusion may be a better place to find out.
[01:52] <yowshi> bastid_raZor: and it also found all 250 ish gigs of space before the fdisk
[01:52] <casdf>  meoblast001: i used ubuntutweak to get compizfusion up and running
[01:52] <meoblast001> ?
[01:52] <meoblast001> i think its a bug
[01:53] <ASrock> how do i change the sound that plays when i log into ubuntu?
[01:53] <meoblast001> heres the bug http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/2215/compizbugpu2.png

[01:53] <root_> i cant install any packages
[01:53] <root_> besides, these are well known packages
[01:53] <bastid_raZor> meoblast001; that is an issue with the window decorations. it is a known issue.

[01:53] <ASrock> meoblast001: thanks a lot

[01:55] <Saiki> root_: you try "pidgin-common"?
[01:55] <root_> ok
[01:55] <root_> but iven if i use

[01:55] <root_> it doesnt find it
[01:55] <yowshi> bastid_raZor: i find it extremly unlikely a barely used hard drive would be going bad
[01:56] <meoblast001> whats the intrepid theme gonna look like?
[01:56] <Flannel> root_: have you updated first?  is this a fresh instal?
[01:56] <Flannel> meoblast001: #ubuntu+1
[01:56] <root_> yes, is a fresh install
[01:56] <bastid_raZor> yowshi; it is a possibility. i've bought a maxtor drive that was defective .. brand new. sent it back for a new one.
[01:56] <yowshi> bastid_raZor: at any rate is there a way i can find out?
[01:56] <Flannel> root_: sudo apt-get update, then try again
[01:56] <zelrikriando> hello
[01:56] <Saiki> pidjin should already be there
[01:56] <Saiki> pidgin*
[01:56] <Saiki> anyone have a problem with idjc staying open when you open other things?
[01:56] <Saiki> I can't get it to stay open..
[01:56] <yowshi> bastid_raZor: this isnt a maxtor drive. everyone knows what a crap job those are. these are seagate drives
[01:56] <zzl> fresh install is a LOT of work
[01:57] <bastid_raZor> yowshi; regardless of brandname.. any drive can go bad. let me check google to see what apps you can use to test it.. you can google too if you dare.
[01:58] <yowshi> weee a google race
[01:58] <root_> i just inserted sudo apt-get update
[01:58] <root_> but i tried after that
[01:58] <root_> and itstill doesn't find anything
[01:58] <Saiki> root_: ubuntu or kubuntu?
[01:58] <root_> ubuntu
[01:58] <zzl> it's same for both
[01:58] <Saiki> it should already be there
[01:59] <Saiki> mine was there on a fresh install
[01:59] <Saiki> course you coulf get a .deb from http://www.pidgin.im
[01:59] <Flannel> root_: Alright, pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update, and your sources.list
[01:59] <root_> i need to solve these for an assayi haveto do underlinux

[02:01] <zzl> i think that's a bug
[02:01] <root_> i just need to get pidgin man
[02:01] <zzl> Matholio:
[02:01] <root_> and this shell doesnt find the package
[02:01] <bastid_raZor> root_; answering the questions will enable people to help you get pidgin
[02:01] <Frostbyt3> can someone please help me, I just installed ubuntu (dual boot w/ vista) having problem detecting a wireless connection
[02:01] <Flannel> root_: Yes, We're in the process of doing that.
[02:01] <zzl> Pidgin is already on Ubuntu
[02:02] <yowshi> bastid_raZor: there is one in the ubuntu repo. bonnie++
[02:02] <bastid_raZor> yowshi; have you used it?
[02:02] <yowshi> bastid_raZor: installing now
[02:02] <root_> what the hell is a repository_
[02:02] <root_> ?
[02:02] <root_> i feel so lost
[02:02] <bastid_raZor> yowshi; cool, let me know how that works.
[02:02] <Flannel> root_: Just answer the questions and we'll get you up and running, and we can explain as we go.
[02:03] <Flannel> root_: a repository is a place on the internet where the packages are for you to download
[02:03] <Frostbyt3> this channel is awesome, at least you guys help
[02:03] <Frostbyt3> i can tell already
[02:03] <yowshi> bastid_raZor: ugh the documentation for it is down right cryptic
[02:03] <root_> ok
[02:03] <root_> where i can find pidgin?
[02:03] <Saiki> Frostbyt3: what wifi card?
[02:03] <yowshi> bastid_raZor: seems like i have to let it test all 3 hard drives though
[02:04] <Saiki> root_: course you coulf get a .deb from http://www.pidgin.im
[02:04] <Flannel> root_: Pastebin those things.
[02:04] <root_> ok, and after i doenload the.deb
[02:04] <root_> how do i install it?
[02:04] <Saiki> same as a windows exe
[02:04] <Flannel> Saiki: Please stop.  That's not the way he should be installing that package.
[02:04] <Frostbyt3> Broadcom 802
[02:05] <Nutt718> hello everyone, I'm looking for DLink webcam drivers for a DSB-C100 cam.  Any takers?
[02:05] <root_> which one do i have to donwload form pidgin.im
[02:05] <Flannel> root_: Please pastebin your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list) and pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update
[02:05] <root_> ???
[02:05] <Saiki> Flannel: ubuntu will update it reguardless, what's the difference?
[02:05] <root_> the source??
[02:05] <kcman> i am having some issues with programs just doing nothing after i have clicked on them
[02:05] <Flannel> Saiki: He's having larger issues than pidgin, if what he says is correct.
[02:05] <root_> pidgin-2.4.3.tar.bz2
[02:06] <troxor> kcman: depending on the program, you can run it from the terminal and get valuable output messages
[02:06] <Frostbyt3> should I come back later?
[02:06] <Saiki> Frostbyt3: bear with me, ok?
[02:06]  * Saiki is far from a luinux expert
[02:06] <matholio_> should I be using pulseaudio to pipe sounds to headphones too /
[02:06] <matholio_> ?
[02:06] <Frostbyt3> sure
[02:07] <kcman> troxor if i need wine to run one of the apps would the command change in terminal?

[02:13] <Frostbyt3> is a broadcom wifi card supported w/ ubuntu?
[02:13] <Daves0r> Flannel: Okay even though i've tried 3 times now
[02:13] <troxor> Frostbyt3: should be, yep
[02:13] <Frostbyt3> cause it's not detecting it
[02:13] <Saiki> afaik broadcom is not in ubuntu, if you can find a windows inf, you can ndiswrapper it
[02:13] <gremlin> Frostbyt3 I believe so
[02:13] <dknight> Is there something I did not install? Sound works just not in a flash type environment.
[02:13] <Flannel> Daves0r: Mint is not Ubuntu.  They do things that we can't support, etc.  We cannot help you here, for technical reasons.
[02:13] <Saiki> Frostbyt3: afaik broadcom is not in ubuntu, if you can find a windows inf, you can ndiswrapper it

[02:13] <Frostbyt3> ok so what should i do next
[02:14] <Flannel> Frostbyt3: That page walks you through what to do if it doesn't work out of the box.
[02:14] <Saiki> _numbers_: compiz theme?
[02:14] <Daves0r> Flannel: Wokayyy, we'll see how this goes pal ;)
[02:14] <_numbers_> yeah
[02:14] <troxor> Frostbyt3: there are a bunch of different broadcom cards though- try finding the exact model number using `sudo lspci`, then googling "<exact card from lspci> ubuntu"
[02:14] <Saiki> _numbers_: save it to the desktop, then open appearance and drag and drop

[02:15] <TurboBee> can someone help me get suexec working properly with apache?  I've got it enabled and I have it working with /home where my web files are, but it still does things as www-data instead of the user/group I specified for the virtual host
[02:15] <Frostbyt3> thx im a n00b
[02:15] <Frostbyt3> in linux anyway
[02:15] <_numbers_> Saiki thank you im trying now
[02:15] <joker> Frostbyt3: I was running windows on my laptop and installed ubuntu with out any problems
[02:16] <yowshi> bastid_raZor: no bonnie++ dpoesnt seem to eb what i need
[02:16] <Dr_willis> Ubuntu runs better on my laptop - then windows does. :)
[02:16] <ERIC_H> running fluxbuntu and only have 256mb of ram. free -m says 243/249 used. is ths correct?
[02:16] <Saiki> _numbers_: no proble,
[02:16] <Dr_willis> ERIC_H,  linux likes to use all the ram it can for cache and so forth. not really a problem. sounds about right
[02:17] <Saiki> Dr_willis: join the club
[02:17] <_numbers_> Saiki thank you so much, i was trying to figure this out for 20 XD
[02:17] <joker> Dr_willis: I have to say Ubunto runs and looks better .. I had windows Vista
[02:17] <_numbers_> 20 minutes*
[02:17] <Dr_willis> Saiki,  i just need to get this silly tv remote that came with the laptop (and only seems to work with wmp) going.. :)
[02:17] <troxor> ERIC_H: most likely
[02:18] <ERIC_H> Dr_willis, makes sense cause it's still fast. was using xubuntu and xfce really made this laptop chug
[02:18] <ERIC_H> its a 1.6 p4 mobile but speed couldnt come close to xp
[02:18] <Saiki> joker: Vista only runs nice on dc with 4gb of ram
[02:19] <Saiki> Dr_willis: no idea there bro
[02:19] <joker> Saiki:  Its a memory hog yes but it never crashed just sucked the way it looked and every thing about it
[02:19] <Saiki> anyone have a problem with idjc staying open when you open other things?
[02:19] <Saiki> I can't get it to stay open..
[02:20] <Saiki> joker: I'm on vista right now
[02:20] <Saiki> if I could get idjc sorted..
[02:20] <matholio_> is configuring sound crad always so impossible ?
[02:20] <Saiki> idjc and Sl voice are all I have really holding me to windows
[02:21] <matholio_> sound just works in vista.
[02:22] <Saiki> sound is a bitch in vista
[02:22] <Dr_willis> matholio_,  some are just not very well supported it seems. Ive never had any sound card issues. But i guess im lucky. :) or its because i tend to buy not-cutting edge machines.. the fact it works in vista.. just proves the soundcard hardware is working..
[02:22] <joker> Saiki: Have you installed Ubuntu ..
[02:22] <VinceN> I had a quick question about RythemBox if someone has a second
[02:22] <Saiki> joker: hda0,0
[02:22] <VinceN> I need to clear the media library without actualy deleting any files
[02:22] <Saiki> er..
[02:22] <yowshi> bastid_raZor: ever use smartctl?
[02:22] <Saiki> 0,3
[02:22] <Saiki> 2*
[02:22] <Saiki> anyone have a problem with idjc staying open when you open other things?
[02:22] <Saiki> I can't get it to stay open..
[02:23] <Dr_willis> what is idjc ?
[02:23] <matholio_> to be fair, my sound does work.   I just want to use card#1 as well as card#0, it seem headphones are a tweak too far.   if anyone has advice, please chime in.
[02:24] <master_> why not help me
[02:25] <Saiki> Dr_willis: SAM substitute on Linux
[02:25] <Dr_willis> Saiki,  :) that means even less to me.. heh heh.. must be somthing ive never had to use.
[02:25] <Saiki> Dr_willis: a DJing app
[02:26] <Saiki> I dj online
[02:26] <Dr_willis> master_,  did you ask a question? ask the channel a question and see what happens.
[02:26] <speedturtle> how do i erase my hdd in ubuntu
[02:26] <Dr_willis> speedturtle,  you mean the whole hard drive? reformat? whipe out securely?
[02:26] <Saiki> speedturtle which one?
[02:26] <speedturtle> Dr_willis: yes
[02:27] <Dr_willis> speedturtle,  i asked like 3 questions... :) yes to which one? heh
[02:27] <matholio_> should I be using alsa+pulseaudio ?
[02:27] <speedturtle> Dr_willis: wipe out securley
[02:27] <Dr_willis> speedturtle,  quick answer use gparted to delete the partitions and reformat them as needed.
[02:27] <Dr_willis> speedturtle,  there are secure-whipe tools out . but im not that paranoid
[02:27] <Daisuke_Laptop> shred
[02:28] <speedturtle> Dr_willis: shell?
[02:29] <yowshi> bastid_raZor: heh this smartctl seems to be the thing i a m after.i will know the health of sdc in 100 minute
[02:30] <speedturtle> Dr_willis: wat cmd do i use to open gparted or where is it located at
[02:30] <Saiki> speedturtle: it's on the live cd
[02:31] <wirenik> speedturtle: you have to use gparted from a live disc since you can't edit partitions when they're in use
[02:31] <Saiki> speedturtle: or you could use sudo apt-get install gparted
[02:31] <wirenik> speedturtle: then I think it's in system -> administration
[02:31] <Saiki> wirenik: yep
[02:31] <bastid_raZor> yowshi; cool, i hope all is well.
[02:32] <speedturtle> thx all ti think i found and i think i will be ok now, thx guys

[02:45] <Guest2499> administration
[02:45] <kerin> flannel: why not?
[02:45] <Kelen> hey, Flannel, of course i know samba, but it's just doesn't work, i could not visit windows, but windows can visit me
[02:45] <gizmatix> private
[02:45] <Guest2499> im totally noob at this
[02:45] <Flannel> Guest2499: Please stop using the enter key as punctuation.
[02:45] <blackbinary_> System-Administration Guest2499
[02:45] <Flannel> Guest2499: System > Administration
[02:45] <Flannel> kerin: because to give access to sudo to someone, you just add them to the admin group.
[02:46] <Guest2499> ok, im there, now what do i do
[02:46] <Kelen> hummmmm
[02:46] <kerin> flannel: right.  but editing sudoers shouldn't be harmful in and of itself.
[02:46] <quentusrex> I want to expand the size of my ext3 partition. I have freespace on the hard drive. How do I do this?
[02:46] <alistair> Hi can anyone tell me a tool in Linux which is similar to Winxp system restore?
[02:47] <Flannel> kerin: No, but it's totally unnecessary, especially in his case.
[02:47] <quentusrex> The drive is 1TB, and the existing partition is 750GB.
[02:47] <Kelen> someone said this is a bug for hardy heron, does it is?
[02:47] <Guest2499> i jist need to know what to do at users and groups
[02:47] <quentusrex> there is 250GB at the end of the drive. How do I extend the partition?
[02:47] <kerin> flannel: understood, and i respect not complicating the issue!  i shall be quiet.  was just curious if there was something i didn't know.
[02:48] <Flannel> kerin: Nah, editing sudoers is dangerous (especially if you have no idea what you're doing).  So, apart from just being complicated for the sake of complication, its more risky than the easier methods.
[02:48] <blackbinary_> quentusrex, i use gparted, it comes on your ubuntu livecd. just boot it up, then resize the partition
[02:48] <prince_jammys> Guest2499: sudo usermod -aG admin juanf03
[02:48] <Flannel> Guest2499: Go to the user you want to edit, click properties, then go to the users privledges tab
[02:49] <matholio_> can anyone talk me through their working speaker+headphone setup?   I'm on the verge of giving up.  which I hate.
[02:49] <Boston> does the latency on my ram matter when i am trying to upgrade it?
[02:49] <ffeynman> I have an iptables question... what's the difference between these two rules and when do you use each? "-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 222 -j ACCEPT" and "-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 222 -j ACCEPT"?
[02:49] <_numbers_> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/TechniX+kami+modified?content=86419, im using this but the icons didnt really change how can i fix this?
[02:50] <kerin> flannel: seemed pretty self-explanatory to me.  but I can see its potential for misuse, certainly.
[02:50] <Johnny_5> what's the command 2 change the permissions of my 1TB external so i can use it 2 back my files up??
[02:51] <Guest2499> now i am at privilegies
[02:51] <Guest2499> what do i do
[02:51] <Flannel> Guest2499: Check the "perform administrative tasks" box, the wording will be similar to that.
[02:52] <hacky_zack23> when i choose to print something to PDF through firefox, where does the pdf file go?
[02:52] <Guest2499> monitor system logs???
[02:52] <Flannel> Guest2499: No
[02:52] <Flannel> Guest2499: "Administer the System"
[02:52] <Johnny_5> what's the command 2 change the permissions of my 1TB external so i can use it 2 back my files up??
[02:53] <Guest2499> connect to internet usinga moder, enable acces to external storages devices automatically, monitor system logs, send and receive faxes
[02:53] <Flannel> Guest2499: Administer the System
[02:53] <Guest2499> use audio devices, use cd-rom drives, use modems use scanners, use tap drives
[02:53] <_numbers_> mine looks like this, http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/6259/screenshotfw4.png but i want it to be like this, http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=86419&file1=86419-1.png&file2=&file3=&name=TechniX+kami+modified
[02:53] <Guest2499> there is no such option
[02:53] <_numbers_> any ideas to do this please?
[02:54] <Johnny_5> what's the command 2 change the permissions of my 1TB external so i can use it 2 back my files up??
[02:54] <Flannel> _numbers_: The thing on the bottom is avant window navigator
[02:54] <Dr_willis> Johnny_5,  depends on the filesystem its useing to some degree

[02:55] <Flannel> shead: /join #ubuntu-pt
[02:55] <Dr_willis> Johnny_5,  gutsy is not a 'filesystem' type.  NTFS/Vfat/ext2/ext3 are filesstems
[02:56] <shead> Flannel Have no brazilian peoples there :P
[02:56] <Johnny_5> i know but that's the version of ubuntu i'm usin'...i use ext3
[02:57] <_numbers_> Flannel so i need to install sudo apt-get install Awn-Manager ??
[02:57] <ASrock> My audio isnt working in Audacity...how can i fix it?
[02:57] <Flannel> _numbers_: no, its a little different, but that website will give you instructions.
[02:57] <_numbers_> ok
[02:58] <Johnny_5> Dr_willis: i'm usin'  the ext3 file system
[02:59] <mrvirus> can some one either link me the site or show me the command thru term for updating java..
[02:59] <Flannel> !java | mrvirus
[02:59] <mrvirus> i know it has something to do with ??-java-alternative
[02:59] <mrvirus> ty flannel
[03:02] <mrvirus> i'm gonna have to write that site down.. lol.. i lost it
[03:02] <Athlonfanboy> how do i make an ext3 symbolic link?
[03:02] <prince_jammys> mrvirus: /msg ubottu java
[03:04] <ryan------> I have an issue with my USB mouse&audio: after the system has been up for a while, at least 3-4 hours, the USB (I noticed it first with mouse, wasn't using usb audio at the time) starts cutting in and out, it's like it cuts in for a second, then out for a second, audio is doing the same now
[03:04] <meoblast001> is there a form of ubuntu that runs on smartphones?
[03:06] <prince_jammys> mrvirus: the command is probably: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[03:07] <pajamian> ryan------: if you reboot your computer when it happens does it take another 3-4 hours for the problem to start happening again or does it happen again right away, or withing 1/2 or so?
[03:07] <LimCore> hi
[03:07] <ryan------> same thing, after 3-4, maybe more hours,
[03:07] <ryan------> it's only after the system has been up for that long, so it's not hardware (works fine in windows)
[03:08] <LimCore> is there a program to learn nicelly avocabulary? preferably a bit more intelligent, like remember which words cause problems for given students
[03:08] <ryan------> I thought it was some application running, but I turned it on one day to test with nothing running, and it started lagging
[03:08] <pajamian> ryan------: if you run top (in the terminal) when it happens, what is at the top and how much CPU is it using?
[03:09] <ryan------> tried that as well..gimme a bit and I'll let you know when it happens, I don't remember heh
[03:09] <pajamian> ok
[03:09] <ryan------> I'm at 48 min right now ;\
[03:09] <ryan------> but I'm very sure that it was not at 100%, even in htop
[03:09] <ryan------> ps aux shows nothing out of the ordinary
[03:10] <pajamian> well I may not be here in 3 hours but someone will probaly help you
[03:10] <ryan------> what do you think it could be, even given that cpu is idle
[03:10] <ryan------> since you're here ;)
[03:11] <pajamian> one sec
[03:11] <shadowhywind> hay all having abit of a problem. when i boot i am getting a udevd-event[####]: run programs: `/sbin/modprobe` abnormal exit
[03:11] <Thurston> hi, i was wondering if i could get some live cd help
[03:11] <eeaaxx> anybody knows what is the new package for the libdvdcss2?
[03:12] <pajamian> I think it's probably some other process eating up resources on the computer.
[03:12] <td123> shadowhywind: generally, googling the exact error message will give you possible solutions
[03:13] <nolimit974> it is probably kacpi_notify
[03:13] <prince_jammys> eeaaxx: i don't think it has changed.
[03:13] <Thurston> hi, when i boot my pc from the new ubuntu live cd, it goes to the log in screen and logs in, but goes only to the log in screen again, and not the desktop
[03:13] <Thurston> does anyone know why?
[03:13] <eeaaxx> prince_jammys: i got this message "Package libdvdcss2 is not available, but is referred to by another package."
[03:13] <ryan------> not sure pajamian...I mean I would have noticed it, I've tried running various cpu/process monitors
[03:13] <td123> Thurston: the display driver may not be installed
[03:13] <prince_jammys> eeaaxx: do you have the medibuntu repositories enabled?
[03:14] <ryan------> it's null when it happens...obviously ps2 is fine
[03:14] <ryan------> keyboard is ps2
[03:14] <td123> Thurston: choose, gnome-failsafe
[03:14] <eeaaxx> prince_jammys: nope
[03:14] <Thurston> but it will go to the desktop sometimes
[03:14] <Thurston> ok
[03:14] <prince_jammys> !medibuntu | eeaaxx
[03:14] <Thurston> thank you, i'll try that and if it doesnt work, you'll see me back here
[03:14] <eeaaxx> prince_jammys: ok. thanks i'll it to my repo
[03:14] <td123> Thurston: then go to system-> and find hardware drivers, and there may be an option to install required drivers
[03:14] <J-_> Where is the fortune script located? It's not in /usr/bin.
[03:14] <ryan------> might be worth to try renistalling libusb and usbutils
[03:14] <ryan------> I think it's a driver issue to be honest
[03:15] <prince_jammys> J-_: /usr/games
[03:15] <Thurston> but im not on the desktop long enough. i dont have the "bar", just the background. but i'll try the failsafe
[03:15] <pajamian> ryan------: it could be.
[03:15] <king> hell0
[03:15] <J-_> Excellent, thanks.
[03:15] <pajamian> ryan------: but the nature of the problem suggests that there is some resource that is getting to a particular threshold and then causing the problem.
[03:16] <ryan------> it would seem that, I can agree. but I'm almost positive that it's not anything stressing out the system to a point that it could crawl on it's knee's that way
[03:17] <eeaaxx> thanks, i've installed libdvdcss2
[03:17] <prince_jammys> eeaaxx: cool.
[03:17] <pajamian> ryan------: yep, fair enough, it's probably a combination of things, then.  If you can find one service that you can restart to make the problem go away for a while that would be very helpful.  I would try restarting one service at a time when it next happens and see if the problem disappears when you do for one in particular.
[03:18] <ryan------> true...didn't think about that one.  I will give that a shit here pretty soon...good suggestion
[03:18] <ryan------> shot*
[03:18] <prince_jammys> heh
[03:18] <ambrose_> shit
[03:18] <Sivik> Is it safe to add/delete files in NTFS in ubuntu yet?
[03:18] <ambrose_> lmao
[03:18] <RequinB4> !language
[03:18] <gauthierm> trackerd is taking all my CPU and I can't figure out a.) why it's doing it and b.) how to turn it off.
[03:18] <dexter> anyone frm germany here
[03:18] <RequinB4> !ntfs
[03:18] <pajamian> ambrose_: with ryan it was an accident, with you it wasn't
[03:19] <jdd> Sivik: I've never had an issue with it, but I think it's still technically not.
[03:19] <Sivik> I know you can view them
[03:19] <Sivik> thanks jdd
[03:19] <Sivik> Cause i'm tired of the 4 GB max file size for fat 32
[03:19] <jdd> np
[03:19] <ambrose_> lol i left at his incident
[03:19] <ambrose_> lol
[03:19] <prince_jammys> Sivik: with ntfs-3g you can do that. /msg ubottu ntfs-3g
[03:19] <ambrose_> u guys don't curse
[03:19] <raimundo> alguien habla español aca?
[03:19] <dexter> anyone frm germany here
[03:19] <ryan------> I wish I knew of a way that would kickstart it....I did try disabling my glx screensaver, heh.  no go on that though.
[03:19] <ambrose_> thats crazy plz teach
[03:19] <Sivik> And since winblows won't see nfs or anything, i had a shared drive in fat 32
[03:19] <RequinB4> !es | raimundo
[03:19] <squarebracket> is there a good guide for shell scripting?
[03:20] <ambrose_> dude i have alotta books for shell scriptting
[03:20] <Gillpy> squarebracket: advances bash scripting
[03:20] <jdd> squarebracket: google ABS guide
[03:20] <prince_jammys> squarebracket: go to #bash, and type /topic
[03:20] <bastid_raZor> Sivik; it is safe now.. ntfs-3g allows you to read/write with no issues
[03:20] <Gillpy> advanced*
[03:20] <raimundo> #kubuntu-es
[03:20] <pajamian> ryan------: might go one further and try turning off compiz alltogether (assuming you have it enabled now).
[03:20] <ambrose_> .chm
[03:20] <ZeroSerenity> Can anyone tell me how to use Ubuntu as a Live CD?
[03:20] <ryan------> more stuff just came to mind...I think it's all related... pajamian (I know people don't like pm's) can I PM you a couple of quick things ?
[03:20] <ambrose_> it will help
[03:20] <Gillpy> squarebracket: check out tldp.org
[03:20] <ZeroSerenity> (Desktop)
[03:20] <ryan------> true about compiz, not sure if it's enabled right now or not.  checking
[03:20] <prince_jammys> squarebracket: the Bash guide there is the best guide. you can also apt-get install abs-guide
[03:20] <havocstorm> hey guys
[03:20] <havocstorm> what's the best bittorrent client of ubujntu
[03:20] <pajamian> ryan------: I really would prefer to keep it in channel.
[03:20] <Gillpy> havocstorm: rtorrent
[03:20] <jdd> prince_jammys: didn't know it was in the repos, thanks for that
[03:21] <prince_jammys> squarebracket: but the one in #bash is the best.
[03:21] <venger> ZeroSerenity, when you boot the desktop CD is has an option about trying out ubuntu without making any changes
[03:21] <dexter> here is an error wen i try 2 open an ibm website: Download Director applet cannot be loaded.
[03:21] <dexter>  Java support must be enabled to run.
[03:21] <dexter> .......can anyone tell me how i can enable java for swiftweasel
[03:21] <RequinB4> !havocstorm, transmission comes pre-installed
[03:21] <squarebracket> cool, thanks everyone :)
[03:21] <RequinB4> !best | havocstorm, transmission comes pre-installed
[03:21] <ZeroSerenity> Thanks Venger.
[03:22] <havocstorm> RequinB4, transmission is kinda simple, is there something like utorrent for ubuntu?
[03:22] <bastid_raZor> havocstorm; ktorrent
[03:22] <ryan------> no problem, I can understand.  I just turned off compiz..  I need to restart a service, I think it might kick me out of kdm, brb (kubuntu btw, obviously)
[03:22] <Gillpy> !bittorrent
[03:23] <EvilDennisR> how can I blackroute outgoing port 48396 ?
[03:23] <dexter> .......can anyone tell me how i can enable java for swiftweasel
[03:23] <havocstorm> basrud_razor, uh, that's not based on the KDE interface is it?
[03:23] <Sivik> iptables EvilDennisR
[03:23] <bastid_raZor> havocstorm; yes, deluge-torrent may be a better route to go if you're anti-KDE
[03:23] <pajamian> !firewall | EvilDennisR
[03:23] <psypher246> hey everyone, is ther anyone who can help me with this stuff:
[03:23] <psypher246> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization
[03:23] <RequinB4> havocstorm: if you're addicted to utorrent: http://news.softpedia.com/news/uTorrent-under-Ubuntu-in-3-Easy-Steps-49037.shtml
[03:24] <psypher246> building a custom ubuntu cd WITH updates and other packages
[03:24] <RequinB4> but that's not really recommended because generall you want to use native windows apps
[03:24] <RequinB4> linux apps *
[03:24] <Sivik> You just cursed in channge RequinB4
[03:24] <RequinB4> ?
[03:25] <Sivik> You said the w word
[03:25] <Thurston> it never worked......
[03:25] <Thurston> (im back by the way)
[03:25] <Thurston> could i just...install ubuntu 6 and the updated it to 8?
[03:25] <Thurston> after the installation
[03:25] <Thurston> like a windows update
[03:25] <Thurston> because i plan on doing a dual boot
[03:25] <Sivik> what do you mean ubuntu 6?
[03:25] <RequinB4> The user should be allowed to install whatever programs he/she wants, no matter if it might be "better" another way
[03:26] <Thurston> well i have a live cd
[03:26] <Sivik> Do you mean 6.06?
[03:26] <Thurston> with ubuntu version 6.xx or something
[03:26] <Thurston> but i want the new version
[03:26] <kc8pxy> Thurston:  why do you not go have a root canal instead?    i think it would be less painful :)
[03:26] <Sivik> why not just start with 8.10? instead of upgrading
[03:26] <Thurston> because my current live cd isnt working right
[03:26] <pajamian> Thurston: try the alternate CD, then
[03:26] <dexter> .......can anyone tell me how i can enable java for swiftweasel
[03:26] <pajamian> !alternate | Thurston
[03:27] <dexter> anyone from germany here
[03:27] <Gillpy> !de
[03:27] <pajamian> dexter: it should be largely the same as for FF.
[03:27] <ryan------> pajamian, here is one thing for certain.  when this issue is going on, my screensaver is extremely jumpy, and I am unable to ctrl+alt+f1-f6 to get another shell.
[03:27] <Thurston> i do believe i have th ealternate cd already
[03:28] <Thurston> but can i nstall it to have it dual boot with windows?
[03:28] <pajamian> ryan------: that sounds like RAM or CPU getting used up.  Is your HDD thrashing as well?
[03:28] <prince_jammys> Thurston: yes.
[03:28] <pajamian> Thurston: yes
[03:28] <Thurston> ok, awesome
[03:28] <dexter> pajamian; actually i dunno how 2 do that... i tried opening a particular ibm website..nd it says dat java suppost shld be enabled
[03:28] <Sivik> I currently dual book with windows xp and ubuntu 8.190
[03:28] <pajamian> !java | dexter
[03:28] <RequinB4> Thurston: yes, but the same deal goes - be careful not to screw up and delete anything
[03:28] <Thurston> i think im gonna try it out real quick then. thanks guys
[03:28] <Sivik> always install microsoft first
[03:28] <Thurston> i'll be back if it doesnt work ;) lol
[03:29] <pajamian> Thurston: good luck
[03:29] <Thurston> thanks
[03:29] <prince_jammys> Thurston: is windows installed already?
[03:29] <RequinB4> Thurston: i would recommend (longer, but safter) to pre-make the partitions
[03:29] <prince_jammys> heh
[03:29] <pajamian> ryan------: howmuch RAM does your system have?
[03:29] <ryan------> no, hd is steady, core 2 duo 2.33ghz 4gb ram
[03:29] <ryan------> hd is fine/idle, I mean, not steady used
[03:29] <kc8pxy> Thurston:  IIRC,  if you install the windopws first,  and then the ubuntu,  at LEAST the 8.04.1 cd(which I've used for that) will auto-confiure grub to dual-boot them for you :)
[03:29] <pajamian> ryan------: 4gb should be more than enough, heh.
[03:30] <smack_tat> who knows where the iwconfig conf file is??
[03:30] <smack_tat> i want to edit the settings
[03:30] <ryan------> lol yeah, I was thinking that myself.  I mean I'm pretty experienced using linux, going on 9 years...but this one just has me stumped
[03:30] <Sivik> smack_tat: did you try doing a locate on the file?
[03:30] <pajamian> ryan------: sounds like you know as much as I do, then.
[03:30] <smack_tat> nope
[03:30] <ryan------> dunno man, doubt that
[03:30] <Sivik> try that
[03:30] <prince_jammys> smack_tat: man iwconfig probably knows. at the bottom of the doc, usually.
[03:31] <ryan------> everybody has their own input on things, there is too much to know.  I'm better on application based stuff, but not system stuff.  other people are better with system than app
[03:31] <RequinB4> ryan-----: can you repeat your problem?
[03:31] <pajamian> ryan------: my experience with linux isn't much more than that, and my experience with desktop linux is significantly less.
[03:31] <ryan------> USB cuts in and out after the system has been up for a while (usually after 3-4 hours, sometimes longer)
[03:31] <smack_tat> god too many funny symbols i cannot edit the file
[03:32] <pajamian> ryan------: check that all your RAM is being recognized by ubuntu.
[03:32] <RequinB4> ryan------: one of  your programs probably has a memory leak
[03:32] <ryan------> mouse lag, usb headphone lag, it isn't quite lag, but it cuts in and out.  the glx screensaver will be laggy (disabled that a while ago once this started) and unable to ctrl+alt+f1-f5
[03:32] <ryan------> I've checked CPU and RAM, plenty of ram free, full swap free (never touched), cpu is idle
[03:32] <ozzie212> anybody know of a good javascript program for ubuntu
[03:32] <crashsystems> @pajamian speaking of Ubuntu recognizing ram, I've got 4gb, but Ubuntu says 3.5. Do you know how to fix this?
[03:32] <Sivik> to create javascript?
[03:32] <ozzie212> yeah
[03:32] <Sivik> Install the 64 bit version
[03:32] <ryan------> crashsystems, you must be using 32bit OS
[03:32] <crashsystems> yep
[03:33] <pajamian> crashsystems: either switch to the server kernel or change to 64 bit ubuntu.
[03:33] <Sivik> crashsystems: 64 - bit
[03:33] <smack_tat> btw
[03:33] <smack_tat> how to edit the network file ?
[03:33] <ryan------>  Mem:          3958       1789       2169          0         37        630
[03:33] <ryan------> mine is recognizing it all..
[03:33] <smack_tat> i want to set the rate wireless rate to 54M
[03:33] <crashsystems> I've had a lot of problems installing stuff (esp flash) in 64bit in the past. Has that gotten any better?
[03:33] <ryan------> I think I might revert to just reinstalling my OS
[03:33] <Sivik> smack_tat: man iwconfig
[03:33] <dexter> anyone from germany here
[03:33] <Sivik> Dexter: no
[03:34] <pajamian> ryan------: is that with a -m?
[03:34] <smack_tat> i have to do that everytime i restart my computer
[03:34] <RequinB4> ryan------: Past that, it's a lot harder to fix the problem if you can't replacate it with a specific action
[03:34] <Sivik> Dexter: if no one responds to you then its a no, there is a german channel
[03:34] <JackDeth_> Hi gang!
[03:34] <smack_tat> i want to edit the conf files instead
[03:34] <RequinB4> !hi
[03:34] <ryan------> free -m yes
[03:34] <ryan------> it doesn't replicate by action, I could be away from the computer, come back and it be like that
[03:34] <ozzie212> im using amd 64 ahtlon processor and I don't have anyproblems as long as I use add/remove with the gnome of ubuntu
[03:34] <gnutoit2> Looking for the program that lets you select vidio card and monitor. see it some times when xorg.conf is set wrong.  any ideas
[03:34] <ryan------> which is typically when it happens as I don't camp around the computer much ;)
[03:34] <pajamian> crashsystems: I don't know, I would say try the server kernel if that worries you, or live with 3.5 gig
[03:35] <crashsystems> Well, I guess I get to do yet another reinstall. Does anyone know if the encryption install problem with the alt installer has been fixed?
[03:36] <pajamian> crashsystems: you should be able to switch to the server kernel without a reinstall and my understanding is it will make it work with more thatn 3.5 gigs.
[03:36] <crashsystems> @pajamian True, but if I'm going to do that, I may as well get all my software in 64bit.
[03:37] <diggs808> I am thinking about upgrading my memory to 4gigs.....are there any major problems with using the server kernel??
[03:37] <pajamian> crashsystems: it's a 32 bit kernel, it just has a option compiled into it that allows more than 3.5 gigs.
[03:37] <Sivik> crashsystems: most of your software will be 64 bit
[03:38] <crashsystems> I need to change the password on my hard drive anyways
[03:39] <gnutoit2> Looking for the program that lets you select video card and monitor. it starts with xserver in a low res mode. see it some times when xorg.conf is set wrong.  any ideas?
[03:39] <vbman11> has anyone here used gtkradient before
[03:40] <crashsystems> I've got a Centrino Duo CPU, so would the "amd64" ISO be right for me? The whole "amd" bit confuses me.
[03:40] <prince_jammys> gnutoit2: dpkg-reconfigure x-server-xorg , perhaps?
[03:41] <ryan------> crashsystems, yes, amd64 for x86_64
[03:41] <ryan------> intel or amd
[03:41] <Sivik> it will work with either
[03:41] <ryan------> I'm on core 2 duo, and I have amd64
[03:41] <gnutoit2> nope
[03:41] <Sivik> x86-64 will work both intel and amd
[03:41] <digitalhead> can anybody tell me what a good DVD re-authoring program would be that lets me take sections out of the video?
[03:41] <crashsystems> @ryan------ thanks. you'd think they would pick a file name more generic than that.
[03:41] <Sivik> speaking of x86-64 and amd64, why are there two different ones?
[03:41] <ryan------> lol I know right
[03:41] <vbman11> has anyone used gtkradient
[03:42] <ryan------> I was thinking the same thing when I went to grab my iso @ crashsystems
[03:42] <ozzie212> is there a noticable difference between the 32bit and 64bit versions of ubuntu
[03:42] <ASrock> how do i get rid of that annoying sound that plays before you login?
[03:42] <Sivik> gdm, kdm, or xdm?
[03:42] <sainzeo> ozzie212: not that i've noticed...i'm sure as more programs are made for 64-bit processors, you may end up though....but could be a bit
[03:42] <ASrock> Sivik: are you talking to me?
[03:42] <vbman11> anyone??
[03:42] <Sivik> ASrock: yes
[03:42] <ASrock> Sivik: i think GDM
[03:43] <Sivik> There should be a setting in the sound settings for it in gnoem
[03:43] <Sivik> gnome*
[03:43] <ASrock> Sivik: i checked there, i have all the sounds disabled and it still does it
[03:43] <Sivik> Is it a song or a beep?
[03:43] <prince_jammys> ASrock: look in 'log in screen', or whatever that menu item is called
[03:44] <ASrock> prince_jammys: thats where im at right now...im not seeing any options about it though
[03:45] <prince_jammys> ASrock: (i don't have gnome) - but i've done it before, either in that menu or in 'sound'
[03:45] <ASrock> oh, nvm thanks guys it was in the Accessibility options in the Login Window Preferences screen
[03:45] <prince_jammys> cool
[03:45] <ASrock> does anyone know where i could find some cool system sounds at?
[03:45] <ASrock> other than gnome-look.org?
[03:46] <pajamian> ASrock: are you referring to the quick drum beat sound, or the longer ubuntu login sound?
[03:46] <Sivik> Thats what I asked him and he never answered pajamian
[03:46] <ASrock> i was referring to the quick drum beat sound but i found it now
[03:46] <pajamian> ASrock: ok, cool
[03:46] <prince_jammys> i suppose most sound files will do, so the whole internet really, depending on what sound sample you want.
[03:47] <Ademan> is it possible to get hardy running on the xbox (original) ?  As far as I know the xbox is just an x86 computer, so I can't imagine it would be a problem, but I haven't really seen any specific references to this ability
[03:47] <Sivik> I know you can on the ps3
[03:47] <pajamian> Ademan: I imagine you can.
[03:47] <prince_jammys> ASrock: it has to be modded, i believe.
[03:47] <ozzie212> I have heard of people putting it on xbox so when it boot up the screen says LINUX but that's all I know
[03:48] <ASrock> Is it possible to play ps2 games through my linux computer?
[03:48] <crashsystems> Ubuntu on the 360 would be nice
[03:48] <prince_jammys> Ademan: search the internet for 'modding an xbox'. it's somewhat involved.
[03:48] <Ademan> prince_jammys: well, there's a "softmod" technique, that seems to be what most people do
[03:48] <Ademan> it's not bad
[03:49] <prince_jammys> the one where you use this Tank game?
[03:49] <ASrock> Ya I remember seeing the "Install another OS" option on the ps3 but i wouldnt know about xbox, i try to stay as far as i possibly can from microsoft
[03:49] <Ademan> i dunno, there's (for sure) agent under fire, and mechassault
[03:49] <Ademan> probably more
[03:49] <ozzie212> does anybody know of a javascript editor that will help me to create scripts
[03:49] <prince_jammys> Ademan: mechassault, yeah. that's what i meant
[03:50] <curtis> does anyone have  a different theme then what came with ubuntu?
[03:50] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: any text editor
[03:51] <Ademan> curtis: http://www.gnome-look.org
[03:51] <ozzie212> prince_jammys: I am not all that faliar with javasrcipt. I was hoping to get one that would help with syntax and debugging
[03:51] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: javascripts are plain text, so you can write one with nano, gedit, vim, kate, emacs.... you name it.
[03:51] <curtis> Ademan: what one do you have?
[03:51] <prince_jammys> ozzie212: kate, vim, emacs, gedit all have syntax highlighting.
[03:53] <mrvirus> does any one know if there are any other DE beside KDE Gnome and X windows
[03:53] <curtis> anyone have a theme to recomend that they really like?
[03:54] <prince_jammys> mrvirus: fluxbox, enlightenment
[03:54] <casao> Is there any way to change the ubuntu loading screen w/ the bouncing bar?
[03:54] <prince_jammys> mrvirus: both installable by apt, and both very cool
[03:54] <mrvirus> apt-get install fluxbox?
[03:54] <prince_jammys> yep
[03:54] <mrvirus> or can they be done from the synatpic as well
[03:54] <prince_jammys> mrvirus: sure
[03:55] <prince_jammys> mrvirus: apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, adept ... whichever you like
[03:55] <crashsystems> does anyone know the location of the public key used to sign the md5sums for Ubuntu ISOs?
[03:55] <mrvirus> i'll have to try fluxbox.. i've heard its pretty good
[03:55] <casao> mrvirus: Synaptic is just a front end for apt-get
[03:55] <curtis> what is fluxbox?
[03:55] <mrvirus> curtis : a GUI for linux
[03:55] <casao> curtis: it's another DE, like Gnome or KDE or XFCE
[03:55] <mrvirus> similar to KDA or Gnome
[03:56] <mrvirus> KDE**
[03:56] <curtis> what is the point of it what does it change?
[03:56] <prince_jammys> mrvirus: yes, its pretty cool. you have to spend time to learn to configure it though. it's all done in text files.
[03:56] <ozzie212> Okay this is a dumb question but how do I change to the root directory in the terminal
[03:56] <mrvirus> its like changin the theme in windows or OSX
[03:56] <casao> mrvirus: it's a lot more intense than that, it's like changing from Explorer to Blackbox
[03:56] <prince_jammys> not quite ...
[03:56] <curtis> can i just install it and what will it look like>
[03:56] <curtis> ?
[03:57] <crashsystems> @ozzie212 sudo bash
[03:57] <ozzie212> gracias
[03:57] <mrvirus> casao : can it be run without editing
[03:57] <casao> mrvirus: I'm not sure, I haven't switched from gnome since I'm running Netbook Remix
[03:58] <prince_jammys> mrvirus:  yes, but to configure it you have to edit configuration files.
[03:58] <mrvirus> sorry that was for prince
[03:58] <curtis> installed fluxbox nothing has changed
[03:58] <prince_jammys> curtis: go back to the login screen and change session to fluxbox
[03:58] <mrvirus> you have to change your session and relogin
[03:59] <mrvirus> fluxbox.org?
[03:59] <prince_jammys> mrvirus: if you're not into configuration file editing, and the reading of documents, you probably don't want fluxbox
[03:59] <mrvirus> what bout enlightment
[03:59] <prince_jammys> try also 'enlightenment'
[03:59] <prince_jammys> try it.
[04:00] <mrvirus> more like gnome or fluxbox
[04:00] <prince_jammys> mrvirus: it's pretty original. it's also lighter, but i think a bit more 'user friendly' as far as configuration goes.
[04:00] <mrvirus> more like XFCE
[04:01] <curtis> can someone recomend a theme?
[04:01] <prince_jammys> anything other than the big ones (gnome and kde) is more involved to configure
[04:01] <mrvirus> gotcha
[04:02] <mrvirus> curtis : recommending a theme is like buyin a toothbrush.
[04:02] <prince_jammys> curtis: right-click on desktop. look in menu->styles.
[04:03] <curtis> well what one do you use?
[04:03] <KiDFlaSh> do you think, my usb sound and onboard sound interfere?
[04:03] <prince_jammys> curtis: i made my own.
[04:03] <dru> my compiz.real is taking up all of my processor speed .. how do i fix this problem or reinstall it .. something?
[04:03] <KiDFlaSh> my mastersound goes automatically down
[04:03] <KiDFlaSh> what should i do?
[04:03] <ryan------> pajamian, you still here?  it just happened, haha
[04:03] <KiDFlaSh> i use a usbsoundcard

[04:04] <ASrock> how do i put my workspaces on a cube
[04:04] <KiDFlaSh> do you think it interfere with my onboard sound?
[04:04] <curtis> prince_jammys: private chat?
[04:04] <frybye> ASrock: got compiz fusion installed?
[04:04] <mrvirus> if you're running gnome then search google for gnome desktop themes

[04:07] <frybye> ASrock: should be fine i guess..

[04:07] <ASrock> IndyGunFreak: yes
[04:07] <Violetbass> why is gcc installed in ubuintu? is this true?
[04:08] <Violetbass> ubuntu
[04:08] <KiDFlaSh> can nobody help me?
[04:08] <pajamian> ryan------: ok, hrmmmm, I would start restarting services and see if any one of them causes the problem to disappear, then.
[04:08] <frybye> IndyGunFreak: i am taking a back seat - you have it..
[04:08] <IndyGunFreak> ASrock: go to system/admin/appearance/desktop effects... and set it to "Extra"...  and see if you get an error.
[04:08] <curtis> KidFlash: what do you need help with?
[04:08] <KiDFlaSh> my mastersound automatically goes down
[04:08] <ryan------> has anybody really figured out what this "console-kit-daemon" is, I see a lot of processes from it..
[04:08] <KiDFlaSh> i have usb sound
[04:09] <ASrock> IndyGunFreak:I did, i have been running on that all day, i just dont know how to activate the cube
[04:09] <ASrock> or do i need to use a keycombo?
[04:09] <KiDFlaSh> i tried to disable onboardsound
[04:09] <KiDFlaSh> in bios
[04:09] <KiDFlaSh> but it doesnt work
[04:09] <IndyGunFreak> ASrock: open a terminal, and run .... sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[04:09] <kittykitty> can you upgrade w/ live cd and retain files/packages?
[04:10] <pajamian> ryan------: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=556272
[04:10] <pajamian> ryan------: google is your friend ;-)
[04:10] <KiDFlaSh> curtis, can you help me?P
[04:10] <threedee> On trying to play an AVI movie, the system gives the alert "Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument". Any ideas?
[04:10] <ryan------> takes me a sec to get the mouse to be able to click on a link, one sec hah
[04:10] <curtis> KidFlash: private chat
[04:10] <ASrock> IndyGunFreak: now what?
[04:10] <kittykitty> threedee which player totem?
[04:11] <frybye> kittykitty: if I remember right there is a special way to do it - but of course stuff has to go into a dir on the host system then...
[04:11] <threedee> Totem Movie Player 2.22.1
[04:11] <threedee> kittykitty: yeah
[04:11] <ozzie212> kittykitty: I don't believe you can. You can install anything you want but once you reboot all that gets whipped out
[04:11] <Ardha_> sheilin
[04:11] <squarebracket> phelps epic win
[04:11] <Ardha_> ..............
[04:12] <kittykitty> wish it would just upgrade
[04:12] <frybye> ozzie212: I seem to remember reading that there is a way to make it somewhat durable - but they warned that it is no replacement for a real install...
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> ASrock: did that install OK?
[04:12] <kevinO> how do i configure my tablet with the new xorg.conf?
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> squarebracket: that was insane..
[04:12] <ASrock> IndyGunFreak: yes
[04:12] <pajamian> ryan------: it appears to have somethign to do with fast user switching, and may be the cause of your problems.  From my understanding it can safely be turned off and you probably won't notice the lack of functionality it provides.
[04:12] <kevinO> its a wacom tablet
[04:12] <kittykitty> threedee try xine
[04:12] <frybye> kittykitty: why dont you install as a second os??
[04:12] <kittykitty> it is
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> ASrock: ok, i'm not familiar w/ configuring compiz, but basically, system/pref/advanced desktop settings, and you'll have to play with it in there a bit.
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> i'm sure someone else can help you here.
[04:12] <ozzie212> frybye: sounds about right, I am definetly no expert.
[04:12] <frybye> kittykitty: or look if there is a newer version of the live- iso
[04:13] <ASrock> oh thanks
[04:13] <squarebracket> IndyGunFreak: the one last night was the craziest. this one was pretty intense, too, though.
[04:13] <frybye> ozzie212: me niether - but often "google" is - heheh
[04:13] <kittykitty> i have dapper and i broke it trying to aptitude dist-upgrade
[04:13] <sheilin> haiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> squarebracket: yes it was...
[04:13] <ozzie212> does ubuntu heron hardy automatically update
[04:13] <ryan------> pajamian, are you on g/k/x ?
[04:13] <frybye> kitty - why you still using dapper and not hardy for eg
[04:13] <ozzie212> frybye:  LOL
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> squarebracket: last night was a a heartstopper
[04:14] <pajamian> ryan------: gnome, if I understand your question properly.
[04:14] <squarebracket> kevinO: i think it comes configured, does it not? if not, you just have to uncomment some lines
[04:14] <kittykitty> cause... everytime i try to upgrade it fubars my system
[04:14] <kittykitty> every distro i have tried has and ubuntu is no exception
[04:14] <squarebracket> IndyGunFreak: no kidding. absolutely unbelievable.
[04:14] <ryan------> pajamian, yes you are correct.  I wonder if gnome uses that same thing, because I'm on KDE
[04:14] <frybye> kittykitty:  I take it you are refering to an installed system now.. eh - the live system u are using is dapper - or an installed system or..?
[04:15] <kittykitty> the installed
[04:15] <pajamian> ryan------: I don't know.  anyways, it would be worth it to disable that and see if the problem goes away, imo.
[04:15] <frybye> no matter what sys you have installed - you could get/burn/use the newer live system or..?
[04:15] <squarebracket> kevinO: do you see what i'm talking about?
[04:15] <Athlonfanboy> wat the hell does dapper drake mean
[04:15] <Violetbass> is it normal that gcc is installed on the latest lts releas?
[04:15] <kittykitty> i downloaded a hardy live cd but it wont boot for me
[04:15] <_hase> Is there an easier way to get the alsa drivers you need for your soundcard, the instructions on the alsa website keep leading me to errors
[04:15] <frybye> kittykitty: do you have considerably legacy hardware (i.e. old out of date - 386 etc..?)
[04:15] <IndyGunFreak> Athlonfanboy: its just a code name for ubuntu 6.06(if you'er gonna download ubuntu, download the current version, 8.04)
[04:15] <Athlonfanboy> kittykitty: try the alt disk or mandriva
[04:15] <kevinO> squarebracket, not any more, xorg is all autodetect and i have to add all those lines manually, but i dont remember what it was
[04:16] <bunga> .............
[04:16] <kevinO> squarebracket, can you let me see your xorg.conf?
[04:16] <squarebracket> kevinO: ya, one sec.
[04:16] <bunga> ?????????????/
[04:16] <kittykitty> no, i was trying the dist-upgrade for synaptic and it fubar my install
[04:17] <kittykitty> so i tried a live cd now it wont boot and i am angry
[04:17] <IndyGunFreak> kittykitty: well, that happens.. thats why you keep a backup before upgrading.. frankly, I don't upgrade, i just do clean installs, never a prob.
[04:17] <LinuxGhost> hi
[04:17] <kevinO> squarebracket, this is what mine looks like http://pastebin.com/m5dfefaf
[04:17] <IndyGunFreak> kittykitty: specs of the PC?
[04:17] <venger> kittykitty, did you change your boot order in the bios so that cdrom is before the hd
[04:17] <frybye> kittykitty: distr upgrades only work as of - or between certain versions or... eh should it work dapper > hardy..?
[04:17] <dorito> how do you display broken packages on synaptic please?
[04:17] <dorito> it says you have 1 broken package
[04:18] <frybye> IndyGunFreak: I had already tried to ask her that...
[04:18] <kittykitty> it said itcwould
[04:18] <kittykitty> i am on my ds right now so i type slow
[04:18] <IndyGunFreak> frybye: well, i'm not gonna pull his fingernails out to get the info, if he doesn't want to give it up, he's likely trolling
[04:18] <linuxguymarshall> Why is Cinepaint no longer in the repos?
[04:18] <KillingVector> hi, where do I go for help with winbind? It installs but fails on startup.
[04:18] <frybye> kittykitty: describe the hardware in your pc..?
[04:18] <LinuxGhost> does someone knows how to view the webpage adress or URL of a webpage saved on the PC with Ubuntu???
[04:19] <kittykitty> it is a gateway laptop 1.4ghz centrino....
[04:19] <LinuxGhost> does someone knows how to view the webpage adress or URL of a webpage saved on the PC with Ubuntu???
[04:19] <kittykitty> the cd boots to the language select, when i choose then try to install nothing happens
[04:19] <IndyGunFreak> linuxguymarshall: because it sucks?
[04:19] <IndyGunFreak> kittykitty: just use the alt. install CD.
[04:20] <navetz__> how can I request a new ip address from my isp from the command line?
[04:20] <Ardha> ............
[04:20] <pajamian> LinuxGhost: I don't believe the URL is saved with the webpage.
[04:20] <rustychicken> LinuxGhost: how did you save it?
[04:20] <squarebracket> kevinO: here are the relevant sections you need: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d307a0445
[04:20] <Violetbass> ...and is it normal that python runs sometimes on the latest lts-release?
[04:20] <LinuxGhost> i just did save as
[04:20] <linuxguymarshall> IndyGunFreak: So do quite a lot of other things there.
[04:20] <kittykitty> good got a link for me
[04:20] <kittykitty> and can you resolve the ips for me as well
[04:20] <ozzie212> kittykitty:  that's what I had to do as well. the live cd would not work for me but the alternate cd worked just fine
[04:20] <rustychicken> LinuxGhost: where di you save it
[04:20] <ryan------> pajamian, trying to apt-get remove consolekit is asking tell me it's going to remove way more than wanted, KDE apps and whatnot
[04:20] <kevinO> squarebracket, thanks alot
[04:20] <pajamian> navetz__: the only thing that might work is: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[04:20] <frybye> kittykitty: ok to pm you briefly...?
[04:20] <squarebracket> kevinO: no prob
[04:21] <IndyGunFreak> kittykitty: don't know about your ip problem, but if you'r ehaving problems w/ the live CD, best thing to do, is use the alternate install CD, and stick w/ 32bit... even if your PC is 64bit capable
[04:21] <LinuxGhost> rustychicken: i saved it into my folder
[04:21] <IndyGunFreak> !alternate | kittykitty
[04:21] <navetz__> pajamian: thx
[04:21] <curtis> what is the best theme?
[04:21] <pajamian> ryan------: I would simply disable it, then.  You should be able to turn it off so it doesn't load.
[04:21] <curtis> for gnome?
[04:21] <curtis> desktop
[04:21] <curtis> ?
[04:22] <curtis> ?
[04:22] <curtis> ?
[04:22] <Flannel> curtis: That'd be completely personal preference
[04:22] <curtis> ?
[04:22] <FloodBot1> curtis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:23] <frybye> IndyGunFreak: looks like you dont take pms...
[04:23] <rustychicken> LinuxGhost: should just be able to browse into the folder you saved it in, and then open index.html or something like that.  you can also use the file browsing utility in firefox: file:///home/username/folder.../index.html
[04:23] <IndyGunFreak> frybye: no, i responed
[04:23] <kittykitty> ...
[04:23] <kittykitty> i am on my ds
[04:23] <kittykitty> i can get webfiles but to browse for them is a pain in the ASX
[04:23] <IndyGunFreak> *resoibded
[04:23] <IndyGunFreak> damn.. nevermind, you get the message..lol
[04:23] <LinuxGhost> rustychicken:when i open document i do reload when connected to internet cant appear the webadreess just the adress on my computer.
[04:23] <ryan------> pajamian, can't quite figure out how to turn off fast user switching...
[04:24] <LinuxGhost> rustychicken: i want to check the adress to put into my reference book
[04:24] <pajamian> ryan------: man update-rc.d
[04:24] <kittykitty> anyone know what dsorganize is?
[04:24] <abby> need help with bootloader
[04:25] <LinuxGhost> does someone knows how to view the webpage adress or URL of a webpage saved on the PC with Ubuntu???
[04:26] <abby> i installed fedora 9 and on my ubuntu partion. however, it did not give me the option to boot to ubuntu in boatloader. so i installed another ubuntu os over the fedora and my old ubuntu option is on dev/sda5
[04:26] <abby> what should i do?
[04:26] <prince_jammys> LinuxGhost: maybe if you look at the page source (open the file with a text editor), you might get a hint.
[04:26] <LinuxGhost> i want the adress of the saved webpage to put into my book reference, please
[04:27] <kittykitty> anyone able to resolve releases.ubuntu.com for me?
[04:27] <Flannel> abby: What are you trying to do?
[04:27] <prince_jammys> LinuxGhost: that'll you have to go by. the original page where it came from isn't magically saved anywhere, except perhaps a logfile of whatever application you used to save it.
[04:27] <abby> flannel, i wanted to have fedora 9 and ubuntu
[04:27] <LinuxGhost> prince_jammys: text editor, where to locate it? i viewed the source cant find on firefox
[04:27] <Flannel> abby: So, a dual boot
[04:27] <abby> fedora 9 is not what i wanted, too late now. however, i just want things to go back
[04:28] <abby> flannel, yes
[04:28] <abby> flannel, however it is set to dev/sda5
[04:28] <Flannel> abby: Just install one, and then install the other on a separate partition.
[04:28] <node357> LinuxGhost, in Firefox go to File -> Open File
[04:28] <ryan------> pajamian, well...thanks for the help on that....probably gonna end up reinstalling it...see if that changes anything...
[04:29] <abby> flannel, yes, but fedora took over grub and only gave me options to my windows and fedora 9 OS
[04:29] <pajamian> ryan------: ok, good luck, though I think that may be a waste of time to be honest.
[04:29] <abby> it missed ubuntu
[04:29] <LinuxGhost>  node357: i will try it
[04:29] <abby> now, i can't access my old ubuntu installtion
[04:29] <ryan------> probably.
[04:29] <Flannel> abby: Alright, if you reinstall Ubuntu afterwards, it will find any other OSes, and give you the opportunity
[04:29] <ryan------> I did change the runlevels, just need to reboot
[04:29] <pajamian> ryan------: yep, so you effectively disabled consolekit?
[04:30] <tarwatirno> abby: or you could just add ubuntu to grub
[04:30] <ryan------> won't know until it reboots..
[04:30] <pajamian> ryan------: you can turn it off for now ... /etc/init.d/consolekit stop
[04:30] <ryan------> it runs under multiple services, which end up killing kdm, which halts the system because of this weird lag issue
[04:30] <ryan------> it's not a service..
[04:30] <pajamian> ryan------: ok
[04:30] <kittykitty> ok 134k/sec now i get to wait more yay
[04:31] <abby> flannel, what do u say?
[04:31] <ryan------> there is console-setup and console-screen.sh
[04:31] <ryan------> just noticed that
[04:31] <kevinO> squarebracket, how do i figure what dev my device is on? it is a serial tablet
[04:31] <Thurston> hey guys, i just installed ubuntu. but it gets stuck at the log in screen, and hte only way i can start it up is in Gnome Failsafe. and at that, there is not desktop bar. i thin i need the graphics driver, but i dont know how to install it on ubuntu if i can use it correctly
[04:31] <Thurston> cause all i get is a desktop background
[04:31] <ryan------> console-setup is for bash
[04:31] <LinuxGhost>  node357: is the same, cant see the adress
[04:31] <abby> flannel, no, i reinstalled Ubuntu over the fedora 9 just to format that part of the virtual space
[04:31] <Violetbass> please, anyone can help me? I'm still wondering why gcc is installed
[04:31] <RequinB4> Thurston: what is your vid card
[04:32] <pajamian> ryan------: yeah, I don't have consolekit either.
[04:32] <nibsa1242b> How do I change the default print setting in Firefox 3? I know how to change it for an individual job, but not how to change the default.
[04:32] <Thurston> ati radeon xpress 200
[04:32] <node357> LinuxGhost, you lost the URL... you will have to find it again online... maybe use CTRL-H to viewyour history
[04:32] <abby> flannel, now, i can't access my original Ubuntu installation
[04:32] <RequinB4> !ati
[04:32] <evilbug> i have xubuntu installed, can i completely remove every xfce-related component via "sudo apt-get remove --purge xubuntu-desktop"?
[04:32] <LinuxGhost> does someone knows how to view the webpage adress or URL of a webpage saved on the PC with Ubuntu???
[04:32] <Casao_Acer> Hey, anyone know of a good Settlers of Catan version I can play single player, or how to get glcatan to work?
[04:33] <abby> flannel, all i want is to login to my original ubuntu and from there i can repartition the hd to a max
[04:33] <ozzie212> skeaking of grub I have a perplexing problem with it - when my computer boots up it loads grub (i think0 3.5) I can select from linux and xp. When I select xp it goes into yet another boot select with windows on top and ubuntu as the third choice. Is this normal
[04:33] <node357> LinuxGhost, you can't. Press CTRL+H to view your history and try to find the URL in there
[04:33] <IndyGunFreak> LinuxGhost: what do you mean?..
[04:33] <node357> IndyGunFreak, he wants to be able to visit the URL for a page he saved locally
[04:33] <Flannel> abby: Alright, you'll need to use a liveCD to get the name of a few files from your Ubuntu partition, and actually, you might as well just take the text from your menu.lst and use that, since it'll match up
[04:34] <node357> IndyGunFreak, like, the online URL
[04:34] <IndyGunFreak> hmm.
[04:34] <node357> I don't think it's possible
[04:34] <IndyGunFreak> LinuxGhost: the easiest way i've found to do that.. is to install Opera(download the .deb from opera.com)...
[04:34] <node357> but checking history might help
[04:34] <Flannel> abby: Just stick it in your grub.conf (that's the fedora one) and boot to it.  Or tell stage1 to use your grub from Ubuntu, see instructions here:
[04:34] <Flannel> !grub  | abby, first link
[04:34] <tritium> opera is in the repos
[04:34] <IndyGunFreak> LinuxGhost: then once you've installed Opera, go to the site, click file, save as, and save as an ".mht" file...
[04:34] <IndyGunFreak> tritium: is it?... didn't know that.
[04:34] <csop> I need some help installing ubuntu please...I have the .ISO burned to a cd, but the problem is the BIOS is locked and I don't want to try "popping jumper cables" and possibly messing up my computer - so is there any way to install ubuntu without booting from cd?
[04:34] <tritium> IndyGunFreak: yes, in the third-party repo
[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> hmm, didn't know that, i always just downloaded the .deb
[04:35] <Flannel> !install | csop
[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> tritium: what exact one?.. cuz its listed as being in Medibuntu, but it never installs from there for me.
[04:35] <abby> flannel, i already install my second ubuntu box over the fedora
[04:35] <node357> according to packages.ubuntu.org there is opera
[04:35] <csop> Flannel, ty
[04:35] <tritium> IndyGunFreak: 9.27-20080331.6hardy1
[04:35] <Flannel> abby: alright, then put the old Ubuntu entries into the new ubuntu's menu.lst
[04:35] <Thurston> so i just use the ubuntu online help to find my driver?
[04:36] <nibsa1242b> How do I change the default print setting in Firefox 3? I know how to change it for an individual job, but not how to change the default.
[04:36] <ryan------> great, now I need to figure out how to uninstall fast user switching...it's not part of rc.d, it's part of the gui
[04:36] <tritium> IndyGunFreak: enable the "partner" repository
[04:36] <IndyGunFreak> tritium: eh, its no big deal, i appreciate the info though.;
[04:36] <abby> flannel, entries? do u mean menu.list from new to the old?
[04:37] <LinuxGhost> ndyGunFreak: how to download .deb?
[04:37] <Fredd> i went to the gnome panel properties and selected "group windows when space is limited" i have opened 4 normal windows 7 firefox windows and thats what it took to group the firefox ones..is there anyway to change the limit somehow?
[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> LinuxGhost: type this w/o quotes.. i want to make sure i understand what you want to do... "/join #indygunfreak"
[04:38] <tritium> LinuxGhost: easier to enable the partner repository, and install it like any other ubuntu package.
[04:38] <ozzie212> when I try to go to windows using grub the grub  goes to the windows boot section allowing me to select windows or ubuntu. is this normal
[04:38] <LinuxGhost> w/o quotes
[04:38] <IndyGunFreak> LinuxGhost: yes, "/join #indygunfreak"
[04:39] <minimax_> ozzie212: you mean "windows" really loads grub?
[04:39] <LinuxGhost> w/o
[04:39] <IndyGunFreak> yes, w/o quotes
[04:39] <navetz_> is there a linux equivilent to windows ipconfig -release ?
[04:40] <minimax_> navetz_: kill your dhcp client
[04:40] <frank392> Hi I have a problem with login windows conf (gdmsetup) please help
[04:40] <navetz_> minimax_: how?
[04:40] <tritium> navetz_: linux uses "ifconfig"
[04:41] <Guest62766> My mtab file is broken in a very weird way. The file doesn't exist, but it shows up when i list files, and I cannot replace it. When I check the permissions/owner of the file it's just question marks. I've googled around and can't find this problem. Any help?
[04:41] <minimax_> tritium: navetz_: ipconfig -release just releases DNS settings, doesn't it?
[04:41] <frank392> Hi I have a problem with login windows conf (gdmsetup) please help
[04:41] <thedarkone> hello
[04:41] <tritium> minimax_: I don't use Windows, so don't ask me...
[04:41] <navetz_> minimax_: I think so, I am looking to change my ip address
[04:41] <nibsa1242b> How do I change the default header / footer info (page #, url, etc) in Firefox 3?
[04:42] <ASrock> um, what exactly is the default root password in ubuntu?
[04:42] <navetz_> minimax_: I was banned from the university servers and don't want to deal with "tech support"
[04:42] <thedarkone> i have a nvidia geforce 6200 can some one help me set up hd on it?
[04:42] <frank392> Hi I have a problem with login windows conf (gdmsetup) please help
[04:42] <minimax_> navetz_: you can't just blindly set a static IP, do you know the configuration you need?
[04:42] <kevinO> ASrock, whatever you set it too during installation
[04:42] <kenami> have you try ; format c: ?
[04:43] <navetz_> minimax_: I just need a new i[
[04:43] <ttmrichter> I have a silly question about gnome-terminal: how does one tell gnome-terminal to permanently set a given geometry (132x50 in this case) permanently no matter how it is launched?
[04:43] <navetz_> minimax_: ip
[04:43] <ASrock> kevinO: i didnt set one, it never asked me for one
[04:43] <frank392> Hi I have a problem with login windows conf (gdmsetup) please help
[04:43] <AeronTS> when i type in "ls /" it shows a directory for WindowsXP
[04:43] <kevinO> ASrock, ive never had that problem so i cant help
[04:43] <AbbasJin[ub]> hey all,  i installed ubuntu 8.04 on my pc in dual boot the other day and it detect my Intel DG33FB mobo onboard sound ok, was showing "Intel "something"" in the sound config menu.  now last night used the update manager and it downloaded a few updates (not all as i disconnected), install those partial updates, and asked for reboot, now after rebooting, its showing that no sound card is found (or may be it cant find the right driver) ... how do i g
[04:43] <AeronTS> is there a way to just install XP on taht directory and make it bootable?
[04:43] <frank392> Hi I have a problem with login windows conf (gdmsetup) please help
[04:44] <IndyGunFreak> ASrock: by default, root is disabled, use sudo, and yoru "main user" password, is your sudo password.
[04:44] <rand> Hi, is Atheros wireless supported in Ubuntu?
[04:44] <minimax_> navetz_: sudo dhclient (interface)
[04:44] <frank392> hi rand yes!
[04:44] <curtis> AbbasJIn{ub} what is the problem explain in private chat
[04:44] <IndyGunFreak> rand: yes, quite well actually
[04:45] <minimax_> navetz_: where (interface) is eth0, wlan0, etc
[04:45] <nibsa1242b> AeronTS: XP needs to be installed to its own drive or partition. If you install it to a partition, it will overwrite the MBR  and you will need to reinstall grub.
[04:45] <ASrock> IndyGunFreak: i tried that and i still got incorrect user name or passwrod
[04:45] <frank392> Hi I have a problem with login windows conf (gdmsetup) please help
[04:45] <IndyGunFreak> ASrock: then you're doing something wrong.
[04:45] <nibsa1242b> AeronTS: depending on what you need to use XP for, you may be able to use WINE or run ex in a virtual machine instead.
[04:45] <rand> frank392, IndyGunFreak : I booted Ubuntu Live and it didn't see the Atheros wireless.  Is there something special I need to do to get it working in Live mode?
[04:45] <navetz_> minimax_: I did that and it said renewal in 700 seconds
[04:46] <IndyGunFreak> rand: it won't work out of the box, you'll have to install to make it work... which atheros device do you have, and do you plan on installing 32bit or 64bit?
[04:46] <minimax_> navetz_: are you trying to set up static IP?
[04:46] <navetz_> minimax_: nope, just get a new ip
[04:46] <emma> where do we direct chinese speakers for ubuntu support?
[04:46] <newclimb> hello, when i conect a projector in my note it doesn't work anyone can help me?
[04:47] <IndyGunFreak> !ch
[04:47] <rand> IndyGunFreak: I have an Athlon x2, but I heard that 32bit is better for Firefox plugins?
[04:47] <pajamian> !cn | emma
[04:47] <ASrock> IndyGunFreak: i typed sudo passwd in the terminal and got the pw set to what i wanted but now when i login it says "The Administrator is not allowed to log in from this screen" how do i log in then?
[04:47] <emma> shay shay
[04:47] <IndyGunFreak> rand: its a matter of opinion, in my opinion, it is.. but you know, for every opinion that it is better, ther'es others who say otherwise
[04:48] <ASrock> nevermind i think i got it
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> ASrock: i really don't know, why did you sudo passwd?
[04:48] <frank392> when I run sudo gdmsetup I get a segmentation fault, any idea?
[04:48] <ASrock> IndyGunFreak: i read online that that is how you change the root password
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> rand: what wireless device do you have, do you know?.. there's several atheros devices?
[04:48] <jscinoz> why would you want to do that though
[04:48] <Flannel> ASrock: Don't log in to root, especially not to X.
[04:48] <pajamian> newclimb: most notebooks have some key combination you have to press to enable the external video port.  It will be specific to your notebook but probably involves holding down the Fn key while pressing one of the number keys.
[04:48] <LinuxGhost> does someone knows how to view the URL/Aadress of a saved webpage on computer???
[04:48] <AeronTS> are there any projects on the burner right now for Ubuntu to provide much better hardware support?
[04:48] <jscinoz> logging into X as root = bad idea
[04:48] <minimax_> navetz_: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-renew-dhcp-client-ip-address/
[04:49] <IndyGunFreak> ASrock: well, there's no need to do that, and frankly, its silly
[04:49] <vaportrail123> whats the terminal command to run wine
[04:49] <rand> IndyGunFreak: I don't know, the laptop came with Vista :(
[04:49] <AeronTS> my Brother MFC-7220 fax/scan/copy is useless
[04:49] <node357> vaportrail123, wine
[04:49] <newclimb> I tried but doesn't work
[04:49] <IndyGunFreak> rand: can you get the laptop online, w/o wireless?
[04:49] <ASrock> Well how do i edit my fylesystem folders then
[04:49] <vaportrail123> just type wine?
[04:49] <LinuxGhost> does someone knows how to view the URL/Aadress of a saved webpage on computer???
[04:49] <node357> vaportrail123 wine programname.exe
[04:49] <LinuxGhost> does someone knows how to view the URL/Aadress of a saved webpage on computer???
[04:49] <frank392> when I run sudo gdmsetup I get a segmentation fault, any idea?
[04:49] <vaportrail123> ah
[04:49] <vaportrail123> where must it be saved to? the exe that is
[04:50] <SNuxoll> !repeat | LinuxGhost
[04:50] <rand> IndyGunFreak: not easily
[04:50] <minimax_> navetz_: sudo dhclient -r, that's supposed to force a release
[04:50] <IndyGunFreak> rand: are you on the laptop now?
[04:50] <node357> vaportrail123, anywhere you have permission to put a file I guess.. your home or Desktop might be a good place
[04:50] <vaportrail123> anyone able to get itunes 7.7 working? i wanna sync my ipod touch
[04:50] <navetz_> minimax_: thanks
[04:50] <newclimb> when i install ubuntu in my note doesn't work anymore before i had mandriva but i didn't like it I think that i need to mount somenthing do you know something about?
[04:50] <Dr_willis> LinuxGhost,  i would say look at the contents of the saved webpage. It may have some links  back to the original site/homesite.
[04:51] <pajamian> vaportrail123: check the appdb at winehq.org
[04:51] <AeronTS> wow, the support in here is dismal :/
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> AeronTS: nobody twisted your arm to come here
[04:51] <frybye> vaportrail123: there is a way without itunes install if I am not mistaken...
[04:51] <Dr_willis> AeronTS,  demand a refund then i guess.
[04:51] <frank392> when I run sudo gdmsetup I get a segmentation fault, any idea?
[04:51] <rand> IndyGunFreak: Atheros AR5007EG
[04:51] <ASrock> how do i change my login name
[04:51] <rand> IndyGunFreak:  yes
[04:51] <pajamian> AeronTS: I've found Brother printer support to be excellent in Linux.
[04:51] <Dr_willis> !patience
[04:51] <minimax_> vaportrail123: what does not: ipod sync
[04:51] <LinuxGhost> Dr_willis: in the source, where can i locate the adress of the page??
[04:52] <pajamian> AeronTS: though you will likely have to get the scanner and fax drivers direct from the Brother website.
[04:52] <vaportrail123> frybye, what must i do to sync my ipod touch then?
[04:52] <minimax_> vaportrail123: I'm pretty sure amaroK can sync the iPod, it's like a KDE iTunes
[04:52] <vaportrail123> ooooo
[04:52] <kevinO> how can i find what tty a serial device is on?
[04:52] <vaportrail123> sexy
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> rand: if thats the case... i suspect Ubuntu will recognize it as Atheros 242x.. if it does.. then it should be pretty easy to get installed w/ little effort.  Problem is, you need to install build-essential, and I'm not sure how you could do that w/o an internet connection
[04:52] <AeronTS> IndyGunFreak: actually, the support in here at one time was GREAT, but no surprise the debian folks had to come over and ruin it :/
[04:52] <Dr_willis> LinuxGhost,  look at it and see.. perhaps in the comments.. or perhaps the code/page has a link/url back to the original site.. we cant tell you much more then to LOOK at the  page and perhaps its source
[04:52] <frybye> I would have to ask google - cant remember the details but smthing about it being doeable...#
