[14:58] <haunted> hi i have a problem watching video files, whatever player I use it shuts itself down as the file starts playing, all codecs needed are installed, can anyone please help me figuring this out?
[14:58]  * nathan7 hides
[14:58] <FloodBot1> nathan7: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:58] <ChrizC> yes, it's terrible, I know.
[14:58] <nathan7> FloodBot1: -_-
[14:58]  * ChrizC frowns at his terrible computer.
[14:58] <nathan7> ChrizC: I just got a cheapo soundcard for 3 euros.
[14:58] <Kesman> hello. I accidentally my whole C-drive, what now?
[14:58] <Ned__> I have wine and virtualbox installed on Intrepid...if I wanted to install a Windows application, do I open it with win or virtualbox or does it matter?
[14:59] <grawity> Kesman: ?
[14:59] <Iceman_B^Ltop> does the server version of Ibex still output something to the screen?
[14:59] <Ned__> win = wine
[14:59] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I have my tv hooked up but it says "out of range"
[14:59] <ChrizC> grawity: don't bother with him. it's a joke.
[14:59] <nathan7> Ned__: Virtualbox is a whole computer.
[14:59] <Kesman> ChrizC: :D
[14:59] <ChrizC> :D
[14:59] <ChrizC> I know that trick
[14:59] <nathan7> Ned__: You need to install windows on it to run windows apps.
[14:59] <ChrizC> "I bought a fly-rod, and I accidentally the whole thing."
[14:59] <Kesman> ChrizC: you are no more anonymous :P
[14:59] <Ned__> oh yeah thats right...thanks nathan7...I forgot about that
[14:59] <ChrizC> :P
[15:00] <haunted> hi i have a problem watching video files, whatever player I use it shuts itself down as the file starts playing, all codecs needed are installed, can anyone please help me figuring this out?
[15:00] <Kesman> haunted: run the player in terminal to see any error output
[15:01] <Kesman> in terminal=from terminal
[15:01] <Iceman_B^Ltop> okay, help, whenever I start Putty to log into my server machine, I get 'conenction refused"
[15:01] <Ned__> nathan7 I had mirc working just on wine for a while but then it started freezing and I couldnt use it any more
[15:01] <haunted> kesman: how do I do that?
[15:01] <nathan7> haunted: xvideo problems..
[15:01] <Ned__> the mirc started freezing I mean
[15:01] <Kesman> haunted: what player are you using?
[15:01] <nathan7> Ned__: rm -rf ~/.wine
[15:01] <nathan7> Ned__: YOu will loose all your wine things though.
[15:01] <haunted> kesman: vlc, totem...
[15:02] <oCean_> Ned__: but be very careful with that command!
[15:02] <Kesman> haunted: then just type vlc in terminal to run it
[15:02] <Kesman> haunted: then open up the file and see if vlc print out any errors in the terminal
[15:02] <metalfan_> ive activated orca accidently, theres no entry for it below "sessions"  where do i get rid of it?
[15:02] <Ned__> nathan7 I might try that...at the moment I don't have anything critical on wine...I'm new on it
[15:02] <maarten_> i like to see tv on ubuntu, i have freetv200 from marmitek
[15:02] <nathan7> metalfan_: It isn't a desktop environment.
[15:02] <metalfan_> nathan7, did i say it was?
[15:03] <Ned__> ok thanks nathan7
[15:03] <magnetron> maarten_→ if the hardware is supported, you should be able to use "tvtime" to watch it
[15:03] <maarten_> how do i see if the hardware is supported
[15:03] <magnetron> maarten_→ "tvtime" can be installed using Applications → Add/Remove

[15:04] <Oli``> How do I get the terminal-based driver selector for X?
[15:04] <lechup> #help
[15:04] <nathan7> Oli``: dpkg-reconfigure xorg
[15:05] <Oli``> nathan7: that runs but doesn't do anything
[15:05] <definitely> Is there any other channel for Ubuntu 9.04 or i can ask here ?
[15:05] <haunted> kesman: this is the error vlc returned me back --> QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 1

[15:05] <zombie-robot> hi im using pidgin. how come the sound doesnt work with irc?
[15:05] <Oli``> definitely: #ubuntu+1
[15:06] <nathan7> Oli``: Oops... dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[15:06] <Oli``> nathan7: ta
[15:06] <nathan7> Oli``: ?
[15:06] <Ned__> oCean_:  thanks I'll be careful with that
[15:07] <Oli``> nathan7: hmm that looks like what I was aiming for but it only asks me about framebuffer and various keyboard settings... nothing about the display driver
[15:07] <Ned__> so far I think all I've got in wine is text editor and mirc
[15:07] <Ned__> oh yeah I better check what I got in text editor then
[15:07] <nathan7> Oli``: Hmm...
[15:07] <Oli``> nathan7: "ta" is short for thanks in northern England
[15:07] <nathan7> Oli``: Ah.
[15:07] <erpo> If anyone is searching these IRC logs looking for the answer to my earlier question, ntfs-3g reports 2 hard links for a file that exceeds the old 8.3 filename limitation for FAT volumes.
[15:08] <nathan7> Nice.
[15:08] <zombie-robot> hi i'm using pidgin. how come the sound doesn't work with irc?
[15:08] <nathan7> zombie-robot: Hmm, does it work on other protocols?
[15:08] <Iceman_B^Ltop> anyone good with partitioning? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/140129/ <-- this is what my drive looks like now, I want to mount that first 40 GB partition, how do I do that ?
[15:08] <Kesman> haunted: what video hardware are you using?
[15:08] <zombie-robot> yeah
[15:09]  * hASDhaQ_ is away: ZZZzzzZZZzzz
[15:09] <haunted> kesman: i feel ashamed but I can't remember... is there any way to retrieve this info?
[15:09] <oCean_> !away > hASDhaQ_
[15:09]  * hASDhaQ_ is back (gone 00:00:15)
[15:09] <Kesman> haunted: dunno where, maybe from hardware drivers -menu
[15:10] <hASDhaQ_> oCean_: sorry, I go to disable now
[15:10] <oCean_> hASDhaQ_: thank you
[15:10] <haunted> kesman: it is an ATI for sure
[15:12] <hASDhaQ_> oCean_: os, disable:)
[15:12] <chotaz> Anyone here plays Counter-Strike on ubuntu?
[15:12] <Kesman> haunted: have you configured your xorg.conf with any tools or manually?
[15:12] <lechup> is it possible to flush user permission without restarting server
[15:12] <Kesman> haunted: and what driver are you using
[15:12] <lechup> i've changed some prefs in /etc/passwd /etc/groups
[15:12] <Guest72450> hi all, how can I assign the output of a bash command, such as pwd, to a varialble in a makefile ?
[15:12] <savvas> lechup: they just have to log out and log in I think
[15:12] <zombie-robot> i'm using pidgin. how come the sound doesn't work with irc?
[15:13] <haunted> kesman: I may have modified the xorg.conf following a tutorial and the drivers I use are those provided with ubuntu
[15:13] <savvas> lechup: or maybe there's a refresh option for the server
[15:13] <haunted> kesman: how do I get to xorg.conf?
[15:14] <Kesman> haunted: so I guess they are the restriced ones then, fglrx. I have this option in my xorg.conf's "Section "Device"" -section: Option "VideoOverlay" "on" which you should probably add too
[15:14] <Kesman> haunted: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[15:14] <Guest72450> hi all, how can I do this variable = command output in a makefile
[15:14] <savvas> lechup: /etc/init.d/yourserverapplicationhere refresh
[15:15] <Kesman> haunted: but make a backup first with sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-back
[15:15] <zombie-robot> what irc client will play sounds in messages?
[15:15] <Kesman> xchat
[15:15] <zombie-robot> how?
[15:15] <Kesman> zombie-robot: dunno, maybe there's an option for it in preferences
[15:15] <magnetron> ... sounds in IRC-messages?
[15:16] <bill_hilly> Ocean_ did you get my reply? http://paste.ubuntu.com/140128/
[15:16] <zombie-robot> i want sound notifications when someone talks in irc
[15:17] <lechup> savvas: thanks, i'll try that
[15:17] <haunted> kesman: I'm NOT using the proprietary drivers! :) and I was wrong I haven't touched this file
[15:17] <Kesman> haunted: ahh, maybe you should be using the fglrx driver
[15:18] <oCean_> bill_hilly: hmm, that is weird
[15:18] <gearsecond> can any body help me to activate compiz?
[15:18] <cooldduuudde> gearsecond: compiz --replace
[15:19] <gearsecond> cooldude: what to do wiht that?
[15:19] <oCean_> bill_hilly: you have kernel 2.6.20-16, but headers <IP_ADDRESS>.22 installed.
[15:19] <bill_hilly> well, I tried upgrading the kernel some time back and it made things funky, so I reverted
[15:19] <haunted> kesman: what if the video is flipping?
[15:19] <cooldduuudde> gearsecond: type it in terminal and press enter
[15:19] <oCean_> bill_hilly: ah I see, well, that is the reason there is no correct headers version
[15:19] <haunted> kesman: 'cause I remember I've uninstalled them for this exact reason...
[15:19] <zouhair> !names
[15:20] <oCean_> bill_hilly: it seems you have to be on kernel 2.6.22. Then there are available kernel-header versions available
[15:21] <gearsecond> it has started downloading compiz
[15:21] <oCean_> bill_hilly: your kernel version, and the corresponding headers package has most likely been obsoleted
[15:21] <n2diy> KD7SPO-rod: hi rod, how's things in Spokane?
[15:21] <cooldduuudde> gearsecond: k. good
[15:21] <bill_hilly> oCean_: so I need to upgrade to 2.6.22
[15:21] <gearsecond> it said that it couldnt find tha pacet wrapper
[15:21] <bill_hilly> right
[15:21] <oCean_> bill_hilly: yes, indeed.
[15:21] <gearsecond> paquet wrapper
[15:21] <zombie-robot> anyone know how to det sound notifications when someone talks in irc
[15:21] <bill_hilly> thanks so much
[15:22] <TheMaestro> has anyone used usplash? Are there better alternatives?
[15:22] <gearsecond> cooldudee: i want to get the woobly windows please
[15:22] <zombie-robot> anyone know how to get sound notifications when someone talks in irc?
[15:22] <oCean_> bill_hilly: I'm not sure what you are actually trying to install (compile) You could also consider upgrading to more recent version of ubuntu?
[15:22] <bill_hilly> btw, how do you add my name to the start of your response to me?
[15:23] <TheMaestro> zombie-robot, depends on what irc client youre using
[15:23] <oCean_> bill_hilly: I type "bill" and hit <tab> key
[15:23] <n2diy> bill_hilly: type a few letters, and hit the tab key
[15:23] <TheMaestro> bill_hilly, type name + rab
[15:23] <TheMaestro> *tab
[15:23] <SherlawkDragon> ugh... Does anyone know the command to make a file totally open to access?
[15:23] <bill_hilly> oCean_, ok - thanks.
[15:23] <LjL> SherlawkDragon: chmod a+rwx filename
[15:24] <TheMaestro> SherlawkDragon, chmod 777 filename
[15:24] <LjL> SherlawkDragon: (generally something you don't want to do)
[15:24] <TheMaestro> yeah
[15:24] <SherlawkDragon> thanks
[15:24] <cooldduuudde> gearsecond: then on desktop press right mouse button > change desktop background > visual effects tab> extra
[15:24] <savvas> SherlawkDragon: define access - read write or execute?
[15:24] <raven> possible to configure VLC STREAMING for using with POCKET PC->TCPMP media player??
[15:24] <TheMaestro> guys has anyone used usplash
[15:24] <TheMaestro> ?
[15:24] <bill_hilly> oCean_, I'm trying to update drivers for my sierra wireless card
[15:24] <cooldduuudde> gearsecond: and i would appreciate if you could please spell the nick right :)
[15:24] <TheMaestro> need to spruce up my booting
[15:24] <savvas> TheMaestro: usplash is installed by default in ubuntu
[15:25] <elcreaturenex> hello everyone
[15:25] <SherlawkDragon> LjL> yeah, well, things are acting up.  It's just a game ROM anyway, I don't care how unsecure it is...
[15:25] <TheMaestro> savvas, how does it compare to splashy?
[15:25] <TheMaestro> i mean is it good/stable?
[15:26] <Hasnain>  I need to know how I can set timer on kubuntu to get it shutdown after couple of hours ?
[15:26] <bill_hilly> oCean_, i've upgraded - i'm actually running 8.04 on my dell, but the box i use the most is a toshiba, and as i said, the new kernels for 7.10 make my toshiba do wierd things
[15:26] <oCean_> bill_hilly: I get it
[15:26] <ed1t> how can i give access to a folder to all the users in group called developers?
[15:26] <ed1t> read/write access
[15:27] <n2diy> Hasnain: shutdown -h XXX, where x is the number of minutes to wait
[15:27] <ed1t> i did chgrp -R developers folder
[15:27] <mint3> !jaunty
[15:27] <ed1t> but i cant edit the files inside
[15:27] <cooldduuudde> Hasnain: you could also use gshutdown if you want to do it graphically
[15:27] <bill_hilly> oCean_, actually, I'm pretty sure it was 2.6.22 that caused the problems, but I may use the kernel, get the headers and then revert
[15:27] <Hasnain> n2diy: that means I can set timer in minutes not in hours ?
[15:27] <grawity> ed1t: chmod -R g+rw folder
[15:28] <elcreaturenex> i just installed Ubuntu for the first time, and everything went according to plan saw the install screen, pick a sn password and after the intial restart the screen either goes black or black with a white arrow. What is wrong and how can I fix it?
[15:28] <Hasnain> alrite cooldduuudde I'll see that also thx ... :)
[15:28] <n2diy> Hasnain: 120 would give you two hours.
[15:28] <cooldduuudde> Hasnain: you're welcome :)
[15:28] <Hasnain> ok thx yew both n2diy & cooldduuudde, I'll check that both things :)
[15:28] <oded> some one can help me?
[15:28] <bill_hilly> oCean_, think I'll try that and see what happens. Anyway, thanks for the help. I may be back!
[15:28] <ed1t> grawity: when i do ls -l inside the folder, it says root developers
[15:29] <oCean_> bill_hilly: good luck
[15:29] <bill_hilly> oCean_, thanks. Later.
[15:29] <grawity> ed1t: I know.  I accidentally deleted my 8.10 /boot partition, which means that my vmlinuz etc files are gone... Is there anyway to re-generete those files i need to boot into the 8.10 installation?
[15:31] <Iceman_B^Ltop> is a "sudo shutdown now" enough to shut down my machine ?
[15:31] <LjL> Iceman_B^Ltop: it's sudo shutdown -h now
[15:31] <grawity> gearsecond: Btw, try this. On Xchat, type coold, then press Tab.
[15:31] <LjL> Iceman_B^Ltop: (or you can just use sudo halt)
[15:31] <Iceman_B^Ltop> oh >_<
[15:31] <n2diy> Iceman_B^Ltop: yes
[15:32] <gearsecond> cooldduuudde,
[15:32] <n2diy> Iceman_B^Ltop: no, sorry, shutdown -h now
[15:32] <gearsecond> oh great it works
[15:32] <LjL> JeppeM: ugh, that's not good. you can boot from a live cd while telling it to use your disk as root, then reinstall linux and grub... but the specifics are a bit too involved for me to remember them without actually trying it
[15:32] <rexim> Iceman_B^Ltop: sudo halt also
[15:32] <cooldduuudde> gearsecond: uh. oh. k
[15:32] <Downing> Isn't 50 - 51 Hz refresh rate too low?
[15:32] <LjL> JeppeM: the live cd also has a recovery mode - don't know how useful it will be in your case (i've never used it, it's a new thing), but perhaps you could try
[15:33] <JeppeM> LjL, what if i install 8.10 on a new partition, and then use
[15:33] <JeppeM> and then copy the zmlinuz files etc?
[15:33] <JeppeM> *
[15:33] <JeppeM> vmlinuz*
[15:33] <AaronMT> Anyone using VLC 0.9.8 and have a weird problem where video is displayed in a seperate output window?
[15:33] <gearsecond> cooldduuudde: i said that im not a ubuntu user iuse xubuntu 8.10
[15:33] <gearsecond> so how can i activate wooble windows
[15:33] <LjL> JeppeM: will probably not work because grub will have the wrong partitions listed in menu.lst
[15:34] <cooldduuudde> gearsecond: yeah i know. I'm looking for it
[15:34] <cbone> G'day everyone.....could someone recommend a GOOD step by step that works for installing "Barry" ?
[15:34] <n2diy> ! Barry
[15:34] <LjL> cbone: what's barry?
[15:34] <cooldduuudde> gearsecond: this will solve your problem : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=203877
 a blackerry syncing tool
[15:35] <JeppeM> i can edit the grub menu without a problem LjL, but i need the abi-, config-, initrd, System.map, vmcore and vmlinuz files
[15:36] <LjL> JeppeM: well i think you could obtain them by installing them from within a live cd, no need for a new partition
[15:36] <LjL> JeppeM: at least, it's worth a try
[15:37] <JeppeM> LjL, i'll give it a try then :) At least this teaches me not to mess with partitions without being 100% sure they're backed up :D
[15:37] <s3r3n1t7> LjL, this may be a bit far fetched ... boot from a liveCD, create a new /boot part, mount his normal root stuff and so on there with the proper stuff and copy over the liveCD's boot, then use apt to reinstall grub and the kernel?
[15:37] <LjL> cbone: http://www.netdirect.ca/software/packages/barry/index.php (the home page) offers an ubuntu package
[15:37] <kraut> moin
Thank you
[15:38] <LjL> s3r3n1t7: actually i was thinking he could just boot straight to his root partition using the live cd's kernel
[15:38] <s3r3n1t7> LjL, hmm that might work, but it might be a bit hard work to get the liveCD to recognize his root partition
[15:38] <JeppeM> sounds like i need the livecd no matter what :D Will download it now... My old copy is at work :P
[15:38] <holzmodem> hi, i try to push a patched kernel into a team ppa, could someone help me, or is there a packaging / launchpad irc available?
[15:38] <LjL> s3r3n1t7: you don't need to make it *recognize* it, you just input it manually in the ISOLinux prompt
[15:39] <s3r3n1t7> LjL, yeah my wording was off
[15:39] <LjL> cbone: basically you should add the line "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/doctormo/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main" to your /etc/apt/sources.list file, then issue a "sudo apt-get update", then "sudo apt-get install barry"
[15:40] <Shadycuz> Is this where I can ask for help?
[15:40] <Daremo> hello :)
[15:40] <Shadycuz> hi =)
[15:40] <oCean_> Shadycuz: if it's ubuntu related, yes
[15:40] <Daremo> anyone here good at xorg 7.4 confis?
[15:40] <Daremo> configs that is :)
[15:41] <debaser> hi
[15:41] <Shadycuz> Well I'm having problems installing ubuntu
[15:41] <Daremo> what kind of problems?
[15:41] <Ropechoborra> Shadycuz, Maybe we could help :)
[15:41] <LjL> JeppeM (s3r3n1t7): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions has a brief introduction on changing boot options from the live cd. follow it, and add "root=/dev/your-root-partition" to the line. i *think* that should make it boot your system, again, it's worth a try
[15:41] <Shadycuz> My problem is my partions on my HD is not being seen.
[15:41] <Daremo> laptop or desktop machine?
[15:41] <Shadycuz> desktop
[15:41] <Daremo> sata?
[15:41] <Shadycuz> nope IDE
[15:42] <oCean_> !who | Daremo
[15:42] <Shadycuz> but it has both
[15:42] <debaser> how can I split a pdf file in ubuntu based on his index?
[15:42] <JeppeM> LjL, we agree that it's a bit too risky for me to just forget about my old 8.10 installation and just use 9.04 beta from now on, right? If it had been a final release it wouldnt matter, but for now, it's a bit too risky, right?
[15:42] <Daremo> sorry :) thanks Ocean used to a friendly IRC chann where everyone knows everyone
[15:42] <LjL> JeppeM: it's not recommended for a production system...
[15:42] <oCean_> Daremo: np.
 Thank you VERY much
[15:43] <s3r3n1t7> LjL, i'm thinking you are right in what you said. I think that should work, the kernel should recognize that partition as root then.
[15:43] <JeppeM> LjL, thanks for your help, i'll give the livecd a shot...
[15:43] <Daremo> shadycuz so you run the cd and you when you run diskmanagement (cant remember the exact name) it finds no hard drives?
[15:43] <Shadycuz> So I can't see my partions when I install, I cant run qtparted because it errors out saying partions are out side of disk
[15:44] <Shadycuz> I cant fdisk -l /dev/hda because it says cant read disk
[15:44] <Daremo> shadycuz dual boot machine?
[15:44] <Shadycuz> yes
[15:44] <Daremo> shady so stuff you care about on there then and you cant reformat then i assume
[15:44] <Shadycuz> I can't reformat but It doesn't matter any way I tried reformating multiple times
[15:45] <Shadycuz> Daremo:I can't reformat but It doesn't matter any way I tried reformating multiple times
[15:45] <Daremo> shady hang on looking at something
[15:46] <Shadycuz> Daremo: k
[15:46] <debaser> how can I split a pdf file in ubuntu based on his index?
[15:46] <nathan7> Hmm.
[15:46] <bbelt16ag> hey peeps got a question.
[15:46] <LjL> debaser: i'm not very familiar with pdf files, but isn't an index just a page containing... an index?

[15:47] <braddcadd> how do i install py2exe, extract the zip file somewhere?
[15:48] <imachine> Hi,
[15:48] <bbelt16ag> so i am thinking its a config in my /home that i saved.
[15:48] <JeppeM> ah, perfect :D thanks LjL
[15:48] <Daremo> shady when you boot up on the cd have you run gparted instead of going to the install?
[15:48] <imachine> has anyone experienced weird sound issues with 9.04?
[15:48] <LjL> braddcadd: isn't that a Windows program?
[15:48] <imachine> I have it click an clash sometimes.
[15:48] <imachine> (video, flash, audio)
[15:48] <nathan7> braddcadd: Py2Exe is for windows.
[15:48] <Shadycuz> yes, not on ubuntu live cd but on another one
[15:48] <Shadycuz> it errors out also
[15:48] <gearsecond_> im having problems with the Terminal
[15:48] <bbelt16ag> any ideas where to start?
[15:48] <imachine> I think it's to do with pulseaudio
[15:48] <LjL> JeppeM: don't worry if your live CD has a different revision
[15:48] <LjL> JeppeM: it shouldn't case problems i think
[15:48] <gearsecond_> it saya that dkpg is not working correctly
[15:48] <braddcadd> that explains why there are no install instructions for ubuntu
[15:49] <imachine> gearsecond_, details.
[15:49] <debaser> letubenaiah: do you know hay to use it?, I am using it and chose split "by bookmark level" but I don't know if that's what I want nor what the six numbers in there represent (its a 700MB pdf file so I don't want to just try out)
[15:49] <LjL> JeppeM: you will have to reinstall your kernel when in the live cd anyway
[15:49] <braddcadd> nathan7, is there a way to create an exe from ubuntu (I don't have any windows in my house)
[15:49] <gearsecond_> what shoould i do? i cant download softwares with terminal now
[15:49] <gearsecond_> what should i do?
[15:49] <gearsecond_> imachine what is details?
[15:49] <nathan7> braddcadd: Nope.
[15:49] <ChrizC> gearsecond_: Synaptic package manager?
[15:49] <LjL> braddcadd: py2exe might work in WINE. but of course the exec you create will be a Windows program.
[15:49] <keatliang2005> wget <urlink>
[15:49] <minhcop> aloo
[15:50] <nathan7> LjL: Nope it doesn't.
[15:50] <LjL> nathan7: ok
[15:50] <Shadycuz> Daremo: when I run gparted in ubuntu is say's No devices detected.
[15:50] <braddcadd> LjL, thanks i'll give that a try
[15:50] <nathan7> LjL: It produces invalid PE files.
[15:50] <gearsecond_> no but iwant to repair my terminal, cuz it says: dpkg was interrupted, you should open dkg manually
[15:50] <LjL> gearsecond_: please pastebin the exact errors that it gives
[15:51] <ChrizC> gearsecond_; try using sudo apt-get install, for your software installations
[15:51] <cbone> LjL: hope two lines is ok: W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 15A579BF113659DF
[15:51] <nathan7> gearsecond_: It gives you the command to fix it.
[15:51] <JeppeM> kk LjL...
[15:51] <Daremo> shady do you have some sort of unusual hardware config?
[15:51] <gearsecond_> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem
[15:51] <Shadycuz> Daremo: when I run gparted in ubuntu is say's No devices detected.
[15:51] <imachine> gearsecond_, so run it
[15:51] <Shadycuz> Daremo: no i dont think so
[15:51] <LjL> cbone: yes, it just means it doesn't know about the repository. it's warning you that it might not be a "trusted" repository, as it's not an official one
[15:51] <Daremo> shady hmmm
[15:51] <LjL> !gpgerr > cbone    (cbone, see the private message from ubottu)
[15:51] <gearsecond_> yes i typed the command and it givesme a number of options
[15:51] <nathan7> gearsecond_: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[15:52] <gearsecond_> i dont know which to chose
[15:52] <imachine> such as
[15:52] <Shadycuz> Daremo: just a regular desktop
[15:52]  * jpo more knowledgable foks are being transferred from ##linux to here for more help and support
[15:52] <imachine> gearsecond_, usually, you just choose the defaults by pressing 'etner'
[15:52] <LjL> gearsecond_: pastebin them. we aren't mind readers.
[15:52] <imachine> s/etner/enter
[15:52] <Shadycuz> Daremo: what is weird is when i boot windows I can open partition magic and look at all partions
[15:52] <imachine> unless youve changed some system files manually, but you if you did, I reckon you wouldn't ask these questionns.
[15:53] <letubenaiah> debaser: I've never used it to do split at bookmarks, so I'm not sure how that works.  but it doesn't over-write the old file when splitting it just creates the new ones as well.
[15:53] <imachine> hence, I guess defaults are good for you.

[15:53] <braddcadd> LjL, does py2exe create a huge file?
[15:53] <Deevz> I want to downsize my windows part to make space for ubuntu... should I defrag first or does it not matter?
[15:53] <LjL> PASTEBIN
[15:53] <LjL> braddcadd: i have no idea, but note thatn nathan7 said that it does NOT work in wine

[15:53] <imachine> gearsecond_, you've just gone to neutral
[15:53] <debaser> letubenuaiah: well I guess I'll just have to try... thx
[15:53] <LjL> gearsecond_: what have you typed?
[15:53] <gearsecond_> what imachine?
[15:53] <Shadycuz> but im no expert
[15:53] <LjL> you haven't typed what you were told to type, gearsecond_
[15:53] <Shadycuz> Daremo: what is weird is when i boot windows I can open partition magic and look at all partions
[15:53] <Ryan_Leaf> Deevz: It's unnecessary, but you should defrag after you resize the partition.
[15:54] <Xero> hi, i downloaded a set of 200 pdfs. PDFSAM works great to merge the first 100, but the last 100 are "locked" even though they're free to use. how would i merge these?
[15:54] <imachine> LjL, hats off for the calm approach
[15:54] <Daremo> shadycuz: its the same drive though right?
[15:54] <Shadycuz> yep
[15:54] <Ryan_Leaf> Deevz: You do not have to use Partition Magic to resize your partition, if you're going to install Linux. Just use the built-in partition manager with the Ubuntu disc
[15:54] <memphis> hello
[15:54] <Shadycuz> I am using a 160gig raptor
[15:54] <imachine> LjL, once you're done here maybe you'll lend me a hand to sort out the audio issue/qt issue.
[15:54] <Shadycuz> ide
[15:55] <Ryan_Leaf> Shadycuz: I thought they didn't sell them in IDE?
[15:55] <gearsecond_> gearsecond@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install compiz
[15:55] <gearsecond_> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[15:55] <LjL> imachine: i'm a Kubuntu user with KDE 3.5, i doubt i can be of much help there...
[15:55] <gearsecond_> i wanted to install compiz but it said that
[15:55] <LjL> gearsecond_: that is NOT what you were told to type.

[15:55] <LjL> gearsecond_: you were told to type "sudo dpkg --configure -a", so please type THAT
[15:55] <saurabh1403> hello everyone....Has anyone else also faced the problem in firefox 3.0.x version on ubuntu
[15:56] <gearsecond_> LjL what should i type then?
[15:56] <bbelt16ag> so no ideas on what could be my problem ?
[15:56] <imachine> LjL, okay,
[15:56] <bing> help, this fails: apt-get source epiphany-browser && apt-get build-dep epiphany-browser  && ./configure && make && make install && /usr/bin/epiphany-browser
[15:56] <saurabh1403> firefox 3.0.x is not working...no add ons and nothing is working on my ubuntu 8.04
[15:56] <LjL> bing: that's not the proper way to build a package
[15:56] <bing> LjL: i guess i'll just go grab upstream then
[15:56] <imachine> LjL, I got 9.04 now. and had some sound issues with pulseaudio. and another one is taht since 4.5.0, qt mimics gtk very well. only, it seems to fail with dpi. but only on my old configs, whenever I create a new user, the issue goes to /dev/null
[15:56] <braddcadd> how do i make a "filename.py" file execute by just typing "filename"
[15:56] <Ndem1> hello guys can any one help here?

[15:56] <Daremo> http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3097121.0
[15:57] <imachine> LjL, so ultimately I'm wondering, which files could interact with the way it works.
[15:57] <keatliang2005> sudo apt-get source epiphany-browser && apt-get build-dep epiphany-browser  && ./configure && make && make install && /usr/bin/epiphany-browser
[15:57] <Shadycuz> Ryan_leaf your are right, it's not raptor lol its baracudda
[15:57] <imachine> something about dpi or whatver...
[15:57] <imachine> :
[15:57] <LjL> bing: you can build it by doing: sudo apt-get build-dep epiphany-browser ; apt-get --build source epiphany-browser

[15:57] <regjava> How do i check the version of the ubuntu from the ISO?
[15:57] <bing> LjL: that doesn't build my changes
[15:57] <LjL> imachine: i have no idea but you should ask in #ubuntu+1, that's the 9.04 channel
[15:58] <Ndem1> i've the ubuntu interpid and when i try to play video using the firefox browser and i get no sound.
[15:58] <braddcadd> regjava, are running ubuntu from the ISO?

[15:58] <bad> it's a sony ericsson md 300
[15:58] <LjL> bing: nope, it doesn't - you never said you made any changes, so i didn't know.
[15:58] <gearsecond_> what is deselect or atitude?
[15:58] <Daremo> Shady, i am more interested in the settings they mention in that post than the actual drive manf.
[15:58] <bing> LjL: my mistake!  i'll use upstream
[15:58] <Daremo> shady have you tried playing with the bios settings to see if it makes a diff?
[15:58] <LjL> bing: you don't have to use upstream.-
[15:58] <regjava> I am unable to connect to the wifi from the live installation of ubuntu
[15:58] <Shadycuz> Daremo: okay let me read the post and get, no i have not changed bios settings
[15:59] <LjL> bing: you can build the package fine - you're just doing it in the wrong way.
[15:59] <regjava> it does not conect, but it finds the wifi network
[15:59] <gearsecond_> can anybody help me to fix my terminal, it doesnt work
[15:59] <LjL> bing: you can use "debuild", or, wait, i never remember
[15:59] <bing> LjL: i dunno, i follow the instructions in the README, and then I also read the README.Debian...
[15:59] <Ryan_Leaf> Quick Question: Do most (or all) nVidia cards work correctly under Ubuntu?
[15:59] <Daremo> does anyone know how to add a 2nd video card to xorg 7.4?
[15:59] <GaveUp> trying to boot the livecd/install ubuntu is hanging on loading hardware.  It appears to be loading the bttv module that is causing the hang.  I realize I could remove the card and probably get things to work but is there a way to skip this module from grub options so I don't have to open the pc up?
[15:59] <LjL> bing: README.Debian won't contain package building instructions, because those are the same for every single package
[16:00] <JeppeM> LjL, since i just deleted the partition, but i havent overwritten it with anything, do you think it would be possible to restore the files on the deleted partition?
[16:00] <Daremo> Ryan, most nVidias work from the research i have done. I just bought a 9400 that im going to install as soon as I get my PCIe extender
[16:00] <LjL> bing: ok, one way is: "cd" to the package's directory first, then "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b"
[16:00] <Xero> one last time before i post on forums. how could i merge many "locked" (but free to use) PDF files?
[16:01] <gearsecond_> LjL: what should i do to fix the dpkg?

[16:03] <reddos> grazie
[16:03] <LjL> bing: the debian patch may fail to apply because of the modifications you made, i can only imagine... it's probably seeing that one of the files it needs modified is not what it's supposed to be

[16:04] <Spectre> hi, do you know any application to test microphone? (some record and test to play)
[16:04] <bing> LjL: yeah it failed on an "autoreconf" patch that wanted to be applied, so it make sense that it was ./autogen related
[16:05] <bing> LjL: bah, that didn't work either
[16:07] <Daremo> Shadycuz, if that works, it looks like there is a solution to fix the xp boot as well so you constantly dont have to change settings in bios
[16:07] <Spectre> hi, do you know any application to test microphone? (some record and test to play)
[16:07] <LjL> bing: the patches related stuff starts to be a bit outside the boundaries of my knowledge

[16:13] <bing> LjL: i've asked on answers.launchpad.net
[16:13] <gcleric> @chotaz 4gb is the max that a 32bit system can use.

[16:15] <Ryan_Leaf> chotaz: No, you cannot use 4GB of memory with a 32bit O/S. You will only be able to use about 3.1-3.5
[16:15] <Ryan_Leaf> GB of RAM

[16:17] <PhotoJim> airtonix: unless yor local username/password match the remote username/password, that's normal using either Linux or Windows at the local end.
[16:17] <Spectre> I have realtek also...
[16:18] <mxboy15u> I am having a problem with the internet slowing down and then dropping offline then coming back
[16:18] <kneeki> magnetron: Do you use it like: 'cache: gHamachi_0.8.1.tar.gz' ?
[16:18] <Spectre> I hope I don't have to reboot after setting up microphone
[16:18] <cooldduuudde> Spectre: realtek works along with 5.1 on my rig :D
[16:18] <Daremo>  Shadycuz did you click next even after getting the error?
[16:18] <airtonix> PhotoJim, the windows machine in question can connect to my (ubuntu intrepid) machine without login authentication
[16:18] <Ryan_Leaf> mxboy15u: Just try rebooting the network equipment.
[16:18] <PhotoJim> airtonix: can connect in what sense?
[16:19] <Shadycuz> Daremo: trying that now
[16:19] <dmizer> chotaz, that looks about right for 4gig of ram.
[16:19] <Shadycuz> Daremo: but i have in the past and it didnt show any tables
[16:19] <airtonix> PhotoJim, from the windows machine : open explorer : type : //ip-address/share-name, connects, no request for authentication
[16:19] <chotaz> dmizer: strange is that I'm using 2,9GB with just 2 desktop, xchat,pidgin and teamspeak running =\
[16:20] <Daremo> Shadycuz, k, i asked cause looks like your problem is similar to this.. http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=6002.0  but im still looking at things
[16:20] <mxboy15u> i sent you a message ryan_leaf
[16:20] <airtonix> PhotoJim, the reverse, as in trying to connect to a guest share that has no password,, from ubuntu to the windows machine keeps requesting a pasword
[16:20] <dmizer> chotaz: some of that may be reserved for video, and some may be used for swap.
[16:20] <PhotoJim> airtonix: Linux SMB (Windows file sharing) username/passwords can be different from the local system username/password combination.  that could be the issue.  Samba (the Windows networking suite on Linux) lets you set up separate passwords from the system.  so if the Samba passwords match the Windows box, but not the local Linux system passwords, that could be the case.
[16:20] <Shadycuz> Daremo: it's not showing anything after clicking next
[16:21] <dmizer> chotaz, linux makes use of your ram more efficiently, so it will appear to use more.
[16:21] <Daremo> unmount the drive

[16:21] <mib_nfavum> right im going to try for the last time. Otherwise looks like im screwed.

[16:21] <chotaz> dmizer: thanks, yeah buffers and cache are using about 3.7GB
[16:21] <chotaz> 2.7

[16:21] <mustu> Why Ubuntu doesn't offer Package Selection during installation? it irritates getting Gnome all the time....that's not justice.. they should respect all the users e.g KDE users..
[16:21] <Shadycuz> Daremo: umount /dev/hda returns, not mounted
[16:22] <dmizer> i cannot get a single iso to burn correctly. i've tried burning on 3 different computers, i've tried brasero, gnome toaster, and nautilus ... none of them get a good burn on any iso. all iso files pass md5 sums. how can i get a successful burn?
[16:22] <jrib> !minimal | mustu
[16:22] <PhotoJim> mib_nfavum: try wire, see if it works.  if so you know it's a wifi issue.
[16:22] <Daremo> Shadycuz, lolz... figures.. ok hang on
[16:22] <jrib> mustu: and kubuntu is ubuntu with kde by default
[16:22] <mib_nfavum> PhotoJim:  i cant im upstairs
[16:22] <Shadycuz> Daremo: in qtparted when I click the disk, in the shell the error reads cant have partitions out side of disk
[16:22] <fbc-mx> Where do you trim the extra terminals that start up?
[16:22] <mib_nfavum> the router is downstairs
[16:22] <nathan7> Jampiter: KUBUNTU FTW!
[16:22] <airtonix> PhotoJim, im not using my local username password to connect to the windows share. it has guest account access with the guest account being called 'guest' with no password. and when requested to enter a password upong attempting smb access to the windows machine it keeps saying authentication failed when i provide the username : guest, password : none
[16:22] <nathan7> =p
[16:22] <mib_nfavum> ;\
[16:22] <PhotoJim> dmizer: is your media crap?  that could do it.
[16:22] <axoin> Where do I have to add modules which should be unloaded before suspend?
[16:22] <nathan7> airtonix: A real account?
[16:23] <dmizer> PhotoJim, i've also tried different media.
[16:23] <PhotoJim> mib_nfavum: then there are too many possibilities.  take your machine downstairs, plug it into a jack, and see what happens.  the information you get will significantly reduce the time and effort to debug your problem.
[16:23] <nathan7> airtonix: On Linux accounts without a passwords are locked.
[16:23] <airtonix> nathan7, on the windows machines : guest account enabled. no password set. share is given guest account access in 'sharing and security'
[16:23] <Ryan_Leaf> Whoever sent me that personal message, will have to resend it.
[16:23] <PhotoJim> airtonix: I've not set up guest access on Samba, so you've just exceeded my knowledge.  I always use usernames and passwords.
[16:23] <mib_nfavum> ok PhotoJim  ty
[16:23] <Ryan_Leaf> I am now in xchat
[16:23] <PhotoJim> mib_nfavum: np.  it's a bother but it's worth the effort.
[16:23] <airtonix> PhotoJim, you misunderstand me
[16:24] <airtonix> PhotoJim, i am not trying to connect to a linux machine running a samba server
[16:24] <nathan7> airtonix: Hmm.
[16:24] <PhotoJim> dmizer: not sure.  if you've tried multiple burners and multiple media on multiple systems, the common denominator seems to be your .iso.
[16:24] <mustu> well thanx
[16:24] <mustu> to let me know that :)
[16:24] <airtonix> nathan7, PhotoJim, i am trying to connect to a windows xp machine that is sharing out a folder
[16:24] <dmizer> PhotoJim, multiple iso too which all pass md5 sums.
[16:24] <PhotoJim> airtonix: if you're connecting from a Windows machine to a Linux box for the purpose of file sharing, Samba is the way it's done.    if not that, what are you doing?
[16:25] <PhotoJim> dmizer: clearly you aren't meant to own computers.  I suggest paper and pencil. :)  (kidding.)  No idea.  Very weird.  Same burning software?  Maybe you should try a different program.
[16:25] <airtonix> PhotoJim, from  = linux ubuntu intrepid. to = windows xp sp2
[16:25] <bedo2991> !italian
[16:25] <PhotoJim> airtonix: From = server, to = client?
[16:25] <daftykins> airtonix, do you have the package "smbfs" installed?
[16:26] <dougl> !piglatin
[16:26] <usser> he doesnt need smbfs
[16:26] <dmizer> PhotoJim, i've tried the nautilus utility, i've tried brasero, and i've tried gnome toaster.
[16:26] <nathan7> PhotoJim: I have the same problem. My CD drive is simple broken.
[16:26] <daftykins> i do to connect to my CIFS mounts.
[16:26] <airtonix> PhotoJim, no my machine is ubuntu intrepid. the machine i am trying to connect to is a windows xp machine
[16:26] <nathan7> dmizer: I suggest getting a new drive.
[16:26] <mib_nfavum> PhotoJim:  if i connect it using the cable will it be easyier to config wlan0 after?
[16:26] <nathan7> mib_nfavum: Yes.
[16:26] <usser> daftykins, smbfs is only to mount the remote shares
[16:26] <dmizer> nathan7, on all three of my computers?
[16:26] <level09> is it possible that tar -vczf messes the encoding of the files ?
[16:26] <airtonix> daftykins, checking, brb
[16:26] <nathan7> dmizer: =O
[16:26] <nathan7> dmizer: Try a different disk.
[16:27] <nathan7> dmizer: And are you sure it's not a DVD?
[16:27] <mib_nfavum> ok cheers nathan7 =]
[16:27] <airtonix> daftykins, yes it is installed
[16:27] <PhotoJim> mib_nfavum: not easier.  but you'll establish that everything else is working.  and if you need to download packages to get your wifi working, you can do it via the wire there.
[16:27] <mib_nfavum> your a real star PhotoJim
[16:27] <usser> airtonix, on the command line, try smbclient //ipoftheserver/sharename -o user=guest
[16:27] <dmizer> nathan7, i've tried different media as well, different isos ... everything sais the iso burns successfuly, but when i do the integrity test, it always fails.
[16:27] <Ryan_Leaf> You know they should really put an eSATA port on ALL laptops, so you can connect a new HD or Optical Drive, if need be.
[16:27] <airtonix> usser, session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_TYPE_NOT_GRANTED
[16:27] <PhotoJim> nathan7: he's using multiple drives, so that is what is puzzling me.
[16:28] <PhotoJim> dmizer: what if you ignore the integrity test and just try it?
[16:28] <nathan7> PhotoJim: Hmm...
[16:28] <daftykins> Ryan_Leaf, eSATA is very much an unused connection for pretty much everyone right now - USB3 will probably render it pointless
[16:28] <usser> airtonix, how about without -o user=guest is error any different?
[16:28] <dmizer> PhotoJim, install does indeed fail.
[16:28] <nathan7> I guess it's an integrety test bug.
[16:28] <nathan7> Is apt-get hash-checked?
[16:28] <PhotoJim> daftykins: I wouldn't say pointless. eSATA is native SATA.  USB3 adds another layer.  fewer layers = better.
[16:28] <jpds> nathan7: Yes, and GnuPG sigatures too.
[16:29] <Ryan_Leaf> daftykins: But on a laptop, you can have a mobile drive; then when you want to have it run as a desktop, you connect your super-fast SATA hard drive, and you are in business.
[16:29] <airtonix> usser, requests a password for the username i currently am logged in with on this local machine
[16:29] <PhotoJim> dmizer: then you really, really have me puzzled.  if you're desperate I could burn you a disc here and mail it to you and see if that works.  at this point it may be worth a try.
[16:29] <nathan7> jpds: Hmm. Weird.
[16:29] <usser> airtonix, right sorry i messed up the command smbclient //ip/share --user=guest
[16:29] <daftykins> i agree with what you're both saying but sadly idiocy wins over what's technologically superior Ryan_Leaf  + PhotoJim
[16:30] <PhotoJim> daftykins: well, simplicity is good too.  in addition to, not in place of.  ;)
[16:30] <YesWoman> hi, guys I installed LAMP on ubuntu. When i write my server ip in a browser and try to open the index page on another machine i don't get the index page. I get server timed out. I didn't do any configuration to apache. I just downloaded and installed LAMP on Ubuntu and insalled a blog on the server.
[16:30] <daftykins> sounds very idealist ;)
[16:30] <YesWoman> Is there anything that i should configure so i can open my blog?
[16:30] <YesWoman> when i type localhost on my browser on the server machine i can see the blog, but on another machine i can't
[16:30] <txtest> Welcome Mr. President
[16:30] <dmizer> PhotoJim, thanks for the offer ... i do have good isos of dapper and hardy, so i'll try that as a last resort. it occurs to me that the only thing i haven't tried is to perform the integrity check on a different computer.
[16:30] <airtonix> usser,  1st line : Anonymous login successful , 2nd line : Domain=[<WORKGROUP-NAME-HERE>] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager], 3rd line : tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
[16:31] <daftykins> YesWoman, sorry for the stupid question but is the IP correct?
[16:31] <PhotoJim> YesWoman: "localhost" only works from the machine itself.  It is the networking equivalent to "me".
[16:31] <YesWoman> daftykins: yeah
[16:31] <Guest25135> hello everyone! windows is the best!!
[16:31] <PhotoJim> dmizer: it's worth a try.  but if you get desperate, /msg me.  I don't mind mailing you a CD.
[16:31] <daftykins> can the other computer ping the LAMP server IP YesWoman ?
[16:31] <Ryan_Leaf> daftykins + PhotoJim: People do not realize that USB really sucks for more than one operation. Even if it was a faster platform, it's still susceptible to conflictions on the bus. If you are trying to print using a USB printer, and writting a file to an external USB drive, while downloading images / video off your camera; you can lock up your system.
[16:31] <Guest25884> Can samone tellme haw to make a scipt witch makes samthing like that when i run it 1 time it runs script a when i run it again it will run script b and when again a??
[16:31] <YesWoman> PhotoJim: i know that, but i said that to let you know that the server is ol
[16:31] <YesWoman> *ok
[16:31] <Ryan_Leaf> But if they were on seperate buses, like FireWire, then you would be all-set
[16:31] <usser> airtonix, ah, you sure the guest account has the corresponding ntfs permissions, there's two sets in windows, one is sharing perm the other is filesystem perm
[16:31] <daftykins> Ryan_Leaf, yes i know, i very much don't like USB
[16:32] <dmizer> PhotoJim, i sincerely appreciate the offer.
[16:32] <usser> airtonix, check FS perm
[16:32] <PhotoJim> YesWoman: ok.  :)  accessing your blog from another machine on the local network, or from remote?
[16:32] <airtonix> usser, on the folder being shared?
[16:32] <usser> airtonix, yes
[16:32] <YesWoman> daftykins: i don't know what you mean, i'm trying to access the blog using my mobile as another machine ;)
[16:32] <airtonix> usser, that it should have the guest account with at least read access?
[16:32] <Guest25135> vista or xp or linux??
[16:32] <PhotoJim> dmizer: not a problem.  you seem to have done a lot of work to figure out your own problem after all. :)
[16:32] <usser> airtonix, thats correct
[16:32] <airtonix> usser, brb
[16:33] <daftykins> your mobile phone YesWoman ? so it's on the wireless and the ubuntu LAMP is on wired?
[16:33] <YesWoman> PhotoJim: i'm trying to access the blog using my mobile as another machine
[16:33] <dmizer> PhotoJim, i tell ya ... it's been a frustrating evening ;)
[16:33] <YesWoman> daftykins: no on GPRS
[16:33] <Guest81118> hi
[16:33] <PhotoJim> YesWoman: your mobile connected to the cellular network?  that's "remote" for this purpose.  if your mobile has wifi and the wifi is connected to your own network, that's "local".
[16:33] <Guest25135> hi
[16:33] <Ryan_Leaf> I wonder what Apple's Marketshare, and Linux's Marketshare will do once support for Windows XP ends?
[16:33] <usser> airtonix, i'll go have a smoke brb
[16:33] <daftykins> YesWoman, your computers IP address won't be reachable from a GPRS connection, because that's on the internet
[16:33] <Ryan_Leaf> Will people upgrade to Windows 7, or will they switch to something else (or not?)
[16:33] <YesWoman> PhotoJim: connected to the cellular network
[16:33] <kneeki> How do i browse the Ubuntu machines on my network? no other PC's are showing up in the 'Network' area
[16:34] <daftykins> YesWoman, if you have a router at home you will need to set up a "port forward" for port 80 to the IP address of your LAMP server
[16:34] <Guest81118> helllo any one listen me
[16:34] <Guest25135> ubuntu is bad software
[16:34] <grawity> Guest25135: ?
[16:34] <grawity> Guest81118: ?
[16:34] <PhotoJim> YesWoman: daftykins has it.  to connect from remote you need to know your blog web server's IP address, and that starts to get to be a complex question.  first of all, how is your blog machine connected to the Internet?
[16:34] <Guest81118> ya i want to join a developer team
[16:35] <Ryan_Leaf> brb
[16:35] <YesWoman> daftykins: i'm doing a stupid test, actually i don't have a router. my server is connected to a dialup internet :) this is stupid i know but i want to try it
[16:35] <daftykins> oh i see
[16:35] <PhotoJim> YesWoman: dialup Internet is going to make it a lot me challenging.  Your IP address (which is the way you get to your computer from outside your network) will change every time you connect.
[16:36] <daftykins> hmm, must be down to firewall'ing PhotoJim ?
[16:36] <YesWoman> PhotoJim: yeah, this is just a test
[16:36] <PhotoJim> daftykins: port 80 could easily be blocked on dialup.  it's not meant to provide outbound services.
[16:36] <daftykins> good point PhotoJim
[16:36] <Roland-> I have last message repeated 2 times in syslog, can I disable that? to show all messages even if they repeat?
[16:36] <PhotoJim> YesWoman: and you know what your IP is remotely?  sounds like it.
[16:36] <daftykins> YesWoman, could you go to www.whatismyip.com and paste me your IP address in private message? i'll let you know what i can see
[16:37] <PhotoJim> daftykins: that is what I was about to recommend :)
[16:37] <YesWoman> daftykins: ok
[16:37] <daftykins> i'll be able to port scan you and check if i can see your webpage
[16:37] <PhotoJim> YesWoman: paste it to me too and I can test it also
[16:37] <daftykins> :) PhotoJim
[16:37] <YesWoman> PhotoJim: ok
[16:37] <PhotoJim> YesWoman: if we're right, there are ways around it but they are pretty technical.
[16:37] <dmizer> daftykins, YesWoman, be aware that you may get a server timeout due to load times.
[16:38] <daftykins> indeed dmizer , thanks
[16:39] <tremby> i'm having some severe issues after upgrading to the 9.04 beta. first up, /dev/null is mode 600 (but still a character device) each time i boot which causes all sorts of problems. what might be causing this?
[16:39] <daftykins> nmap says they're all filtered PhotoJim
[16:39] <PhotoJim> daftykins: not a surprise.
[16:40] <PhotoJim> YesWoman: yes, your Internet service provider blocks a bunch of ports.  so you can't access a web server run on your machine via your dialup service, alas.
[16:40] <PhotoJim> YesWoman: if you can get broadband, in particular with a static IP (an IP address that never changes), it's much easier.
[16:40] <PhotoJim> YesWoman: either that, or find someone to host your blog for you, at a site that is accessible on the Internet.
[16:41] <YesWoman> PhotoJim: oh god, i though that could be happened. I have my blog hosted but this was just a test
[16:41] <daftykins> YesWoman, out of interest who is your dial-up ISP?
[16:41] <YesWoman> daftykins: I'm not in the US
[16:41] <user___> !jaunty > tremby
[16:41] <daftykins> i'm not in the US either
[16:42] <PhotoJim> YesWoman: and I'm not in the US either :)
[16:42] <YesWoman> daftykins: where are you from tho?
[16:42] <daftykins> an island between England and France YesWoman
[16:42] <YesWoman> daftykins: my ISP is called RAMA
[16:43] <tdi> is the beta realease more or less frozen? any problems with upgrade from 8.10?
[16:43] <daftykins> !jaunty | tdi
[16:43] <jpo> tdi: it's not recommended yet to upgrade. jaunty is not that good yet
[16:43] <tdi> thx
[16:43] <datta> i have been trying to dl from youtube but cant with pytube
[16:43] <PhotoJim> YesWoman: Yep, broadband.  Or web hosting somewhere else.  Definitely your solution, unfortunately.
[16:44] <datta> does anyone know how to use pytube?
[16:44] <YesWoman> PhotoJim: this is my blog: rakblog.com
[16:44] <datta> i read some tutorials but they do not seem to work for my vids that i want to dl
[16:44] <YesWoman> PhotoJim: i have it already hosted
[16:44] <Daremo> alright Xorg expert? or some reasonable facimile of one?
[16:44] <Daremo> or Xrander... :)
[16:44] <pitwalker> tdi: i run jaunty from alpha5, currently from usb key-ext3
[16:45] <datta> can anyone please help me with pytube? on how to dl from utube
[16:45] <PhotoJim> YesWoman: Yup, that works fine here in Canada.  :)  Oh well.  You tried a fun experiment.  It can actually work on some providers.  It's just not very useful because that IP address is always changing.
[16:45] <airtonix> usser, ok checked both sharing an fs permissions...guest wasn't on the fs permissions but is now...although still getting denied messages

[16:49] <user___> Brinstar: whats the exact error message
[16:49] <dougl> datta, relax and wait for somone to help
[16:49] <jpo> datta: you can use a different thing to download vids from youtube
[16:50] <datta> jpo what can i use other than that?
[16:50] <Brinstar> user___: something can't download map, cURL library not installed
[16:50] <Brinstar> its on urban terror
[16:50] <dmizer> datta, there are other methods to get the videos too. the "down them all" plugin for firefox for example.
[16:50] <jpo> datta: go to mozilla plugins and add "download helper" to firefox which look like 3 balls and there you can download anything
[16:50] <datta> dmizer i tried downthemall but it does not download youtbe vids
[16:50] <Brinstar> let me try it again and see what the exact msg is
[16:50] <jpo> datta: it's the best
[16:50] <slashzul> how can I rename an auto mounted usb device to something I want?
[16:51] <user___> Brinstar: have you checked their website already? googled? narrowed down to the ut domain?

[16:51] <indietrash> ifconfig lo up doesn't really do the trick...
[16:51] <datta> jpo i tried videodownloader but its not as fast as it should because i have a fast broadband
[16:51] <jpo> slashzul: you should umount it first then mount it as whatever you want
[16:51] <Tophu> anyone familiar with custom compiled versions of wine?
[16:51] <slashzul> jpo: my script cant do that with a /media/EASY\ DRIVE
[16:51] <jpo> datta: it's different than video downloader. it's download helper let me give you the link
[16:52] <Brinstar> cannot autodownload missing files because the CURL library cannot be loaded
[16:52] <datta> ok then it would be great if you can get the link jpo
[16:52] <Brinstar> user___: i'll try that

[16:54] <jpo> datta: does the one before the last one say " video download helper"?
[16:54] <datta> yeah jpo
[16:55] <usser> airtonix, did you fix it?
[16:55] <jpo> datta: click add to firefox
[16:55] <Tophu> nvm I'll go to #winehq ^_^
[16:55] <jpo> and restart firefox when it's done
[16:55] <clearscreen1> Tophu: should be able to use apt/synaptic
[16:55]  * Tophu feels dumb for trying #wine more than 3 times
[16:55] <usser> airtonix, still same message from smbclient?
[16:55] <smokewon> anyone know of an alternative to rythmbox thats not amarok?
[16:55] <usser> smokewon, exaile

[16:55] <airtonix> usser, trying to connect to a winxp share from ubuntu, returns error :  session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_TYPE_NOT_GRANTED
[16:55] <clearscreen1> Tophue: synaptic is just a graphical shell around apt
[16:55] <smokewon> cool
[16:55] <usser> smokewon, banshee
[16:55] <Tophu> ooo thanks clearscreen but I'm gonna double check in winehq
[16:55] <smokewon> oh yup
[16:55] <clearscreen1> sure :)
[16:56] <airtonix> usser, guest account is in the perms list for both sharing and the fs. now has a password which i supply
[16:56] <usser> airtonix, hm, why dont you just allow anonymous access, its essentially what you are trying to accomplish here
[16:56] <dmizer> PhotoJim, the image installs on vmware just fine. i'm going to install the vmware image onto the target disk directly. that should get me a working system. thanks again.
[16:56] <usergr> How can i set emerald as default window manager? When i hit emerald --replace its ok but after closing the terminal window there is no window border
[16:56] <usergr> I appreciate any help

[16:56] <airtonix> usser, how to do that?
[16:57] <JessicaParker> anyone know how to amend user permissions using command line ?
[16:57] <usser> airtonix, well if you switch to simple file sharing, you can set to allow anyone to access
[16:57] <usser> airtonix, im not sure what the corresponding perm will be under advanced file sharing
[16:57] <usergr> thanks nathan
[16:57] <airtonix> usser, hwo to switch to simple file sharing?
[16:57] <usser> JessicaParker, what do you mean?
[16:57] <tsv> I'm looking for a simple way to stream video from one *buntu box to another, what would people recommend?
[16:57] <GGGHHT> Why is ubuntu install not finding any partitions?
[16:57] <saurabhgupta1403> JessicaParker: google for chmod command
[16:57] <jpo> datta: when you go to youtube, you should find it turning around which indicates that it's active ready to download so press the down arrow beside it and click the link that will come down. And voila
[16:58] <airtonix> usser, control panel -> something/something/something?
[16:58] <usser> airtonix, from explorer tools->options one of the tabs has to have simple file sharing at the bottom of the list
[16:58] <clearscreen> tsv: I believe you can do that with relative ease with VLC, could be wrong :P
[16:58] <JessicaParker> usser: have one user but does not have proviliges to administer system therefore cannot access some areas of x
[16:58] <tsv> clearscreen: I'll look, thanks :)
[16:58] <dmizer> JessicaParker, i don't recall the specifics, but the command is usermod, so you should be able to glean the necessary information with: man usermod
[16:58] <usser> airtonix, its in the same dialog where you enable show hidden files etc
[16:59] <usser> JessicaParker, some areas of X? which ones?
[16:59] <usergr> and sth else , I have a dual boot system (ubuntu & windows).In ubuntu sleep mode doesn't work.Is this a bug?
[16:59] <rover35> Hie!!
[16:59] <nathan7> usergr: Hmm. Sleep mode or hibernate?
[16:59] <rover35> need help...
[16:59] <daftykins> "useradd <username> admin" if you want them to be an administrator JessicaParker ?
[16:59] <oCean_> JessicaParker: are you aware, that you can use "sudo" to run commands with superuser privileges?
[16:59] <usergr> sleep mode ,hibernate works ok
[17:00] <dmizer> !ask | rover35
[17:00] <nathan7> usergr: Aha, check your BIOUS settings.
[17:00] <rover35> just a moment, i am writing it...
[17:00] <nathan7> *BIOS
[17:00] <Padhu> I want to install ubuntu in 500mb internal flash drive any ides?
[17:00] <nathan7> usergr: Try setting it in S3 mode.
[17:00] <nathan7> Padhu: You have 100M left then...
[17:00] <usergr> what should i do?
[17:01] <Padhu> nathan7: tell me the idea
[17:01] <nathan7> usergr: Reboot computer, hit F2 or Delete or something, it usually says it when you boot.
[17:01] <rover35> I had a usb device working correctly, and now after compiling the drivers (i wanted to update them), my usb cinergy terratec hybrid xs fm tuner do not work anymore
[17:01] <nathan7> Padhu: 400M for a basic Ubuntu install.
[17:01] <nathan7> Padhu: You can just normally install to it.
[17:01] <dmizer> rover35, if it's not broken ... don't fix it ;)
[17:02] <rover35> and also i suppose the lsusb command do not list the same identifier as before i update the drivers
[17:02] <nathan7> Okay, I'm gonna reinstall Ubuntu on my main box.
[17:02] <usergr> s3 mode??
[17:02] <nathan7> usergr: Yup.
[17:02] <Padhu> I tried it in ubuntu8.10 It results negative
[17:02] <rover35> it was not broken, but the fm was not working, and i wanted to see if an update could fix it
[17:02] <usergr> what kind of setting is that?
[17:02] <JessicaParker> daftykins: thanks that was what i was looking for.......basically some of the network gui in x cant be accessed by this one and only user due to restrictions
[17:03] <dmizer> rover35, did you use the "make install" command?
[17:03] <rover35> yes
[17:03] <daftykins> no problem :)
[17:03] <oCean_> !sudo | JessicaParker
[17:03] <Padhu> I want ssh server, CUPS, abiword, network-manager, firefox and any lightweight VM
[17:03] <dmizer> rover35, there's not much hope for getting rid of that i'm afraid.
[17:03] <rover35> dmizer...??
[17:03] <JessicaParker> just to clarify sudo useradd mouse admin - will that provide my current user mouse with administrtive priviliges ?
[17:03] <usergr> thanks nathan7 but what kind of setting is that?
[17:04] <JessicaParker> or will that add a user called mouse (who already exists)
[17:04] <daftykins> check out "man useradd" for confirmation JessicaParker , but i'd say yes
[17:04] <dmizer> rover35, where did you get your updated drivers?
[17:04] <marcosRz> Hello there I have a notebook with a excelent VGA (NVidia 8700M 512MB GDDR3) and I particually feel that compiz is not necessary..., my question is, by running gnome on metacity will it uses my vga power or not?
[17:04] <clearscreen> !usermod | JessicaParker
[17:04] <clearscreen> no bot command for usermod? damn
[17:04] <JessicaParker> newbie on linux.........converted from windows after a virus........
[17:04] <dmizer> clearscreen ... that does seem odd, doesn't it.
[17:05] <JessicaParker> my | does not work on the laptop - any ideas on that ?
[17:05] <usergr> does anyone know what is s3 mode?
[17:05] <clearscreen> dmizer: yup
[17:05] <clearscreen> JessicaParker: your | ?
[17:05] <lemistio> lllll
[17:05] <JessicaParker> yes shift next to z
[17:05] <JessicaParker> |||
[17:05] <daftykins> pipe key?
[17:05] <JessicaParker> yes pipe
[17:05] <daftykins> does it bring up a different symbol?
[17:05] <rover35> i did a hg clone on one repository (i don't remember it)
[17:06] <marcosRz> Hello there I have a notebook with a excelent VGA (NVidia 8700M 512MB GDDR3) and I particually feel that compiz is not necessary..., my question is, by running gnome on metacity will it uses my vga power or not?
[17:06] <rover35> dmizer, i did a hg clone on one repository (i don't remember it)
[17:06] <daftykins> it's backslash without shift of course on a UK layout
[17:06] <nathan7> !minimal | Padhu
[17:06] <JessicaParker> yes >
[17:06] <lemistio> how to change the root passwd if i can't remember the passwd?
[17:06] <LjL> !root | lemistio
[17:07] <lemistio> o thanks
[17:07] <JessicaParker> daftykins: on the sudo add i get the message 'mouse is not in the sudoers file'
[17:07] <jpo> lemistio: try to bruteforce it
[17:07] <emilien> running ubuntu 8.10 media will not mount after using vmware here dmesg http://pastebin.com/m7102ef74
[17:07] <JessicaParker> i only have one log in
[17:07] <dmizer> rover35, did an hd clone on a repository?
[17:07] <marcosRz> Hello there I have a notebook with a excelent VGA (NVidia 8700M 512MB GDDR3) and I particually feel that compiz is not necessary..., my question is, by running gnome on metacity will it uses my vga power or not?
[17:08] <usser> JessicaParker, you have to relogin after adding a user to admin group
[17:08] <Padhu> ubuntu mini cd iso has 9MB size. I think it is network installer. Is it possible to customize?
[17:08] <usser> JessicaParker, oh you mean you couldnt add mouse to admin because he's not in sudoers?
[17:08] <JessicaParker> usser:  but i cant even execute the command i have one user called mouse and that is the only user i have
[17:08] <emilien> running ubuntu 8.10 media will not mount after using vmware here dmesg http://pastebin.com/m7102ef74
[17:08] <JessicaParker> usser: yes
[17:09] <JessicaParker> usser: and mouse is the only login i have
[17:09] <JessicaParker> usser: mouse is a she
[17:09] <rover35> dmizer, i fund the command i did: "hg clone http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/em28xx-new"
[17:09] <usser> JessicaParker, wow, bummer, how did it come to this. you essentially now dont have the admin rights at all
[17:09] <usser> JessicaParker, did you enable root account at some point?
[17:09] <JessicaParker> usser: cool place to come from........network install without usb or cd rom using dhcp
[17:10] <dmizer> rover35, sorry, i'm not familiar with hg clone.
[17:10] <Padhu> dmizer: hg?
[17:11] <JessicaParker> usser: clearskin : daft : any ideas ?
[17:11] <dmizer> Padhu ... apparently.
[17:11] <oCean_> JessicaParker: what, you are not in "admin" group? type "id" to make sure
[17:11] <rover35> dmizer, just to simplify, i have 2 drivers, one was correct (it did worked correctly : before i install the second one) and after installing and rebooting from the second install the lsusb command show a differend vid:pid
[17:11] <dmizer> Padhu, i thought it was hd clone ... but that didn't make any sense.
[17:11] <JessicaParker> ok what am i looking for in this ?
[17:12] <daftykins> "123(admin)"
[17:12] <dratner> If I update or add new software to my main account (admin) do those changes and updates trickle down to my other users (wifes account/ daughters account)???
[17:12] <Padhu> dmixer: just use G4l (Ghoast 4 linux) or clonezilla live
[17:12] <JessicaParker> oCean_: 112 lpadmin
[17:12] <JessicaParker> but not 123 admin
[17:12] <oCean_> JessicaParker: ok, that is really weird
[17:12] <marco> does anyone know the problem, that java applications are too big? (size of buttons, labels)
[17:12] <daftykins> dratner anything requiring sudo authentication makes things installed be available to other accounts too, including updates and new software
[17:13] <oCean_> JessicaParker: you have to reboot into recovery mode. That'll drop you in a rootshell
[17:13] <JessicaParker> i thought i had done something incorrectly
[17:13] <usser> JessicaParker, try booting into single user mode and try adding mouse to admin from there
[17:13] <rover35> dmizer, so one of my questions is "how does the lsusb get the vid and pid of the device, why has it changed...?"
[17:13] <usser> JessicaParker, weird i did this kind of network setup on my eeepc worked fine, something gone wrong
[17:13] <dratner> daftykins: hmm doesn't always work in practice. Like I want my daughter to have flash on her mozilla but even though I have it on my account its not installed on her
[17:14] <JessicaParker> failsge Gnope ? or xFce Session ?
[17:14] <dmizer> rover35, you're problem is outside my area of expertise. i'm really very sorry.
[17:14] <JessicaParker> of failsafe terminal ?
[17:14] <clancy> hi
[17:14] <oCean_> JessicaParker: No, you have to reboot into recovery mode, then you can "usermod -G admin -a mouse"
[17:14] <clancy> is it possible to see if my hardware works perfectly with linux
[17:14] <usser> !hardware
[17:14] <clancy> can i see i there are error messages sometimes caused by a kernel error for example?
[17:14] <Padhu> clancy: use any one of linux live cd
[17:15] <marco> does anyone know the problem, that java applications are too big? (size of buttons, labels)
[17:15] <JessicaParker> usser:  it did give the option in the first instance of allowing admin access but for this user i wanted to deny it, but found myself then no abling to add another user
[17:15] <clancy> because sometimes the screen is black when i wake up ubuntu from suspend to ram
[17:15] <JessicaParker> oCean_: how do i do that ?
[17:15] <marcosRz> Hello there I have a notebook with a excelent VGA (NVidia 8700M 512MB GDDR3) and I particually feel that compiz is not necessary..., my question is, by running gnome on metacity will it uses my vga power or not?
[17:15] <JessicaParker> switch off then ?
[17:16] <oCean_> JessicaParker: well, during boot, you'll get a menu listing your kernels. One of them says "recovery mode"
[17:16] <shadeslayer> marcosRz, in all totality everything will use your card,i have a 8600 M GT
[17:16] <Tophu> how can I check which nvidia driver is installed? (I installed from website)
[17:16] <marcosRz> shadeslayer, thanks :)
[17:16] <rover35> dmizer, may be you can help anyway :-), i am currently compiling a kernel.org kernel, i think it won't install correctly (if it finish compiling), ause i 'm on a ubuntu system, how patch the kernel from the kernel.org site for my ubuntu...?
[17:16] <marco> irgendwie kann mir hier niemand helfen xD
[17:17] <shadeslayer> marcosRz, i mean just the graphical part of your desktop
[17:17] <oCean_> !de | marco
[17:17] <_acid__> marco, try #ubuntu-de
[17:17] <Guest25884> Haw can i make that when presing a key i will start a script ??
[17:17] <dmizer> ugh ... i've only patched a kernel once, and it took me days to figure it out. there should be directions in the patch readme file though.
[17:18] <JessicaParker> oCean_: ok in root now try that sudo useradd mouse admin
[17:19] <oCean_> JessicaParker: I'd rather use usermod. Like so "usermod -G admin -a mouse"
[17:19] <Kangarooo> Ok So now im going to install fastest way Xubuntu 9.04 beta using usb Wifi Using Mini.iso ubuntu 8.10
[17:20] <oCean_> JessicaParker: btw, the program "adduser" is in ubuntu preferred over "useradd" anyway
[17:20] <daftykins> oCean_, that's my fault for suggesting
[17:20] <oCean_> Kangarooo: all 9.04 issues/discussions go in #ubuntu+1 channel
[17:20] <JessicaParker> oCean_: cool work - now id mouse returns 115 (admin)
[17:20] <JessicaParker> oCean_: for my benefit -G and -a ?
[17:21] <daftykins> -g = group, -a = account, i'd imagine
[17:21] <JessicaParker> oCean_: dont worry append and group
[17:21] <oCean_> JessicaParker: the -G is add as SECONDARY group, the -a is for ADD (or Append)
[17:22] <TheMaestro> i have a basic doubt here...when i download new software manually..and say extract it and install it, what should be the location of the folder?
[17:22] <Flannel> JessicaParker, oCean_: just use `adduser user group`  Its easier and safer.
[17:22] <dratner> how do I install the flash plug in for ALL users? do I need to do that using yum?
[17:23] <tekteen> dratner, no, we use apt not yum
[17:23] <oCean_> Flannel: ah, yes. Since I'm from Unix, I'm much more used to the useradd/usermod commands. But I'll remember that one :)
[17:23] <tekteen> dratner, sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree
[17:24] <dratner> tekteen: that will install for all users?
[17:24] <lstarnes> dratner: yes
[17:24] <tekteen> yep
[17:24] <dratner> tekteen: thx
[17:25] <daftykins> hmm when i connect my windows mobile phone to my PC i get an interface "pan0" created by network-manager
[17:26] <dratner> tekteen: its not finding it. I probably need to update the repos or something ...I don't remember the syntax. Isn't it like sudo apt -update ?
[17:26] <daftykins> "sudo apt-get update"
[17:27] <ugliefrog> i have a nvidia 8800gt. bought a second monitor yesterday. how do you get ubunutu tp recognize the monitor
[17:27] <tekteen> dratner, what daftykins  said :-)
[17:27] <dratner> ah get...sure ...thx
[17:27] <dratner> doh!
[17:27] <daftykins> ugliefrog, are you running nvidia drivers?
[17:27] <ugliefrog> yes
[17:27] <daftykins> you should have "nvidia-settings" installed
[17:27] <ugliefrog> daftykins:yes iam
[17:28] <daftykins> check by running "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings"
[17:28] <clearscreen> ugliefrog: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings && nvidia-settings&
[17:28] <ugliefrog> daftykins: ok
[17:28] <quinten> hey, i've been trying to install ubuntu in a dual-boot configuration
[17:28] <quinten> however, the install keeps failing at resizing the ntfs partition
[17:28] <tekteen> dratner, I was wrong, thre read cmd is: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[17:29] <quinten> i'm assuming this is supposed to work, but what can i do to fix it?
[17:29] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I installed Ubuntu server, and its running now, and hooked up to my router. But when I try to connect to it form putty, I get "connection timed out"
[17:29] <ugliefrog> daftykins: i have it
[17:29] <clearscreen> tekteen, dratner: should just install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:29] <Iceman_B^Ltop> this is within the local network btw
[17:29] <Flannel> Iceman_B^Ltop: Did you install openssh-server on it?
[17:30] <Iceman_B^Ltop> Flannel: yeah
[17:30] <clearscreen> ugliefrog: run 'sudo nvidia-settings&'
[17:30] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I did so during the installation
[17:30] <daftykins> ok hit alt+f2 then type "gksudo nvidia-settings" ugliefrog
[17:30] <Padhu> quiten: use gpated first. then install the OS
[17:30] <Scunizi> With one of the recent updates my system now turns all sound volume off on reboot.  I have to add "Front" and "Side" volume sliders and adjust after each reboot.  How do I make them stick?
[17:30] <magnetron> quinten→ i had the same problem. i resized the ntfs partition using the gparted live CD, then installed ubuntu
[17:30] <dratner> clearscreen: is that like a package of all stuff like flash and mp3 support?
[17:30] <tekteen> dratner, ubuntu-restricted-extras installs many things besides flash. I can not say any of them are bad though. It is up to you.
[17:31] <tekteen> dratner, yes
[17:31] <Iceman_B^Ltop> Flannel: according to my router, the machine has also retrieved an IP address
[17:31] <clearscreen> dratner: what tekteen said :)
[17:31] <Padhu> anyone tell me the interesting game to install in ubuntu
[17:31] <Iceman_B^Ltop> and when I enter any port different than 22, I get connection refused
[17:31] <Ryan_Leaf> Padhu: Try Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
[17:31] <tekteen> Padhu, I am still addicted to neverball
[17:31] <lstarnes> Iceman_B^Ltop: does 22 work?
[17:31] <Ryan_Leaf> It's completely free
[17:31] <Scunizi> Padhu: the World of Goo demo
[17:31] <dratner> tekteen, clearscreen: I will try it since its still not finding the flash plugin
[17:31] <ettore> hi folks, no way to see 4 gb of ram in a 32 bit system?
[17:32] <Ryan_Leaf> Padhu: But the beauty of Linux, is that it can run many Windows games!
[17:32] <clearscreen> Padhu: it's pay2play after the trial, but I've been having much fun with a game called Celetania, which has a native linux binary of the game
[17:32] <Ryan_Leaf> At full speed!
[17:32] <dimfish> Hi, I'm new to ubuntu, I just installed 10 something a week ago and just recently got my atheros wireless card working with the wireless compatibility update.  Everything works great except I have to manually "sudo make install" each login to get the drivers loaded.  I see that the drivers are in the modprobe.d/updates directory, and I'm not sure why they aren't grabbed automatically.  Thoughts?
[17:32] <Scunizi> ettore: it see's 4 gigs but like all 32 bit systems will take a portion for overhead
[17:32] <tekteen> ettore, yes, 4GB works on LINUX on 32bit
[17:32] <Iceman_B^Ltop> lstarnes: no, I get a connection timeout
[17:32] <porter1> Padhu, nexuiz, bzflag,
[17:32] <ugliefrog> daftykins: i have it up
[17:32] <MenZa> dimfish: Which atheros card is this? And which driver are you using?
[17:32] <Scunizi> Padhu: openarena
[17:32] <ettore> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/342926
[17:32] <airtonix> usser, simple options....works now
[17:33] <lstarnes> Iceman_B^Ltop: make sure sshd is running.  If you can get to the server, run sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart
[17:33] <ettore> read the last reply
[17:33] <airtonix> usser, many thanks
[17:33] <Ryan_Leaf> Scunizi: Actually, it's not for overhead. It's just the additional memory that the 32bit architecture cannot address
[17:33] <porter1> padhu, sauerbraten
[17:33] <porter1> padhu, pokerth
[17:33] <daftykins> do you get two screen boxes under "X Server Display Configuration" ugliefrog ?
[17:33] <airtonix> cheerio peoples
[17:33] <daftykins> in the "layout" window
[17:33] <tekteen> Padhu, mines :-)
[17:33] <Iceman_B^Ltop> lstarnes: hmm, I have an added problem that I dont have a monitor that supports text mode
[17:33] <Padhu> oh. very lengthy list
[17:33] <usser> airtonix, just out of curiosity enable advanced mode and see what its set perms to when it was in simple. im curious
[17:33] <Iceman_B^Ltop> so even if move the server to here, I still cant do anything
[17:33] <porter1> padhu, yeah there are quite a few
[17:33] <JessicaParker> ok i have another problem - wireless
[17:33] <clearscreen> dimfish: check 'sudo lsmod | grep driver_name' to see if they're actually added
[17:33] <Ryan_Leaf> 32bit has a quite low limit on memory. But 64-bit versions support huge amounts of memory.
[17:34] <clearscreen> dimfish: you might have to manually add the modules using 'modprobe'
[17:34] <Iceman_B^Ltop> can I boot the system with a Live cd and edit some file manually ?
[17:34] <dimfish> menza, its the AR5007EG and I'm not exactly sure which of the drivers is getting used because the new update loads a bunch.  I think its the ath5k after looking at a bunch of log messages, but I can't remember
[17:34] <florin_> hi all
[17:34] <tekteen> Padhu, everyone likes diff games, there are 1445 people in the room
[17:34] <ettore> i have a problem with nvidia card
[17:34] <JessicaParker> i have two laptops and it seems that when both are trying to connect to the wireless one of them the dell goes off
[17:34] <florin_> why i can't see my avatar picture in pidgin client?
[17:34] <ugliefrog> daftykins: no just one
[17:34] <MenZa> dimfish: Huzzah. I should be able to help you with that (I have the same chip/driver). Which driver are you compiling?
[17:34] <Padhu> i try it few for my child
[17:34] <lstarnes> Iceman_B^Ltop: none of your monitors support text mode?
[17:34] <daftykins> ok does the "detect displays" button help ugliefrog ?
[17:34] <Ryan_Leaf> You wait and see. Memory limits with 32bit will switch the world to 64bit
[17:34] <clearscreen> dimfish: try manually adding it: 'sudo modprobe ath5k'
[17:35] <Scunizi> Ryan_Leaf: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000811.html
[17:35] <gouki> Where can I find a history of packages installed by apt?
[17:35] <ugliefrog> daftykins: nothing there either
[17:35] <tekteen> Ryan_Leaf, people are already switching
[17:35] <dwarder> please suggest me notebook webcam that works with linux
[17:35] <dwarder> with ubuntu
[17:35] <MenZa> !webcam | dwarder
[17:35] <porter1> padhu, edubuntu has a few learning-based games
[17:35] <JessicaParker> on the connection information it looks as if the one that i cant access ie is working and has a ip address, broadcast address and subnet masl
[17:35] <Ryan_Leaf> tekteen: They have no choice. You either do not use the additional memory, or you change.
[17:35] <dwarder> MenZa: thanks
[17:35] <dimfish> clearscreen, should I do that everytime I log in, or will it remember I want that?
[17:35] <daftykins> have you rebooted since connecting the displays ugliefrog ? and are they connected to a single graphics card? by DVI or?
[17:35] <Iceman_B^Ltop> lstarnes: no, i have only a hdready tv
[17:35] <MenZa> dwarder: welcome :)
[17:35] <nathan7> Ryan_Leaf: PAE.
[17:35] <clearscreen> dimfish: it'll remember
[17:35] <Iceman_B^Ltop> unfortunately
[17:36] <space_cadet> how to I prevent amarok from autostarting when an Ipod is plugged in?
[17:36] <tekteen> Ryan_Leaf, yep. Also, linux does support over 4GB ram
[17:36] <clearscreen> dimfish: you can remove by using modprobe -r whatever
[17:36] <dimfish> cool, gonna reboot and try out, thanks for help everyone
[17:36] <florin_> why i can't see my avatar picture in pidgin client?is that a bug ?it can be fixed?
[17:36] <MenZa> dimfish: The thing is, you shouldn't have to compile the driver yourself; it's on the Intrepid CD
[17:36] <tekteen> Ryan_Leaf, on 32 bit machines
[17:36] <Ryan_Leaf> Really?
[17:36] <ugliefrog> daftykins: connected to a single graphics card
[17:36] <noon> Im running ibex. MPlayer is the only app that my audio will work with. everything else locks up, when I play something in MPlayer it prompts a dialog with: "[AO_ALSA] Unable to set hw-parameters: Input/output error". My PulseAudio shows no Output Devices. help please :(
[17:36] <Padhu> he bored with it
[17:36] <Flannel> Ryan_Leaf: through PAE, which is a hack.
[17:36] <Ryan_Leaf> nathan7: PAE is really just a hack to workaround the 4gb limit
[17:36] <nathan7> Yrah.
[17:36] <nathan7> *Yeah.
[17:37] <Flannel> tekteen: It's not "linux" or "windows" supporting it (or not supporting it),its the hardware itself supporting it.
[17:37] <jpo> which is better under ubuntu- Kde4.0 or enlightenment? when it comes to good looks and ease of access?
[17:37] <daftykins> roll-on 64-bit becoming the norm, I say.
[17:37] <Ryan_Leaf> It doesn't address the real 4gb limit
[17:37] <nathan7> jpo: KDE is the best-looking.
[17:37] <nathan7> jpo: I recommend getting 4.2 though.
[17:37] <tekteen> Flannel, I thought linux had a higher limit
[17:37] <MenZa> dimfish: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic should install the ath5k driver. You'll have to blacklist the old ath_pci module (which doesn't work, but is included) by adding "blacklist ath_pci" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[17:37] <daftykins> any 32-bit OS is limited to addressing 4GB RAM tekteen
[17:37] <Ryan_Leaf> Hasn't the Mac platform been 64bit since the onset of OS X?
[17:37] <nathan7> tekteen: It's a hardware thing.
[17:37] <MenZa> aaand he's gone
[17:37] <nathan7> Ryan_Leaf: Yeah.
[17:37] <Flannel> tekteen: It's a limit of the hardware itself. Yes, you can work around it with PAE, but all you're doing is hiding that limit of the hardware, it still exists.
[17:37] <clearscreen> I hate KDE's bloaty-ness so much, oh well - offtopic sorry ;)
[17:38] <nathan7> clearscreen: 4.2, not 3.
[17:38] <daftykins> i've heard it's not proper 64-bit Ryan_Leaf
[17:38] <Ryan_Leaf> daftykins: I thought they were promoting it will be full 64bit for the next release (Snow Leopard)
[17:38] <xino_gasco> hola
[17:38] <ugliefrog> daftykins: do you think its just turned off in the config file?
[17:38] <clearscreen> nathan7: havent tried 4.. is it any good?
[17:38] <space_cadet> how to I prevent amarok from autostarting when an Ipod is plugged in?
[17:38] <nathan7> clearscreen: Yeah.
[17:38] <nathan7> clearscreen: Complete overhaul.
[17:38] <Ryan_Leaf> But it's pointless if your demanding apps are not 64bit
[17:39] <Flannel> Alright, this 32bit 4GB discussion has veered offtopic.  If anyone wishes to continue discussion, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[17:39] <Ryan_Leaf> It's good to see Adobe going 64bit

[17:43] <MenZa> space_cadet: You've asked that question three times in less than three minutes. Please give it some time.
[17:43] <jrib> space_cadet: tried edit -> preferences -> media in nautilus?
[17:43] <space_cadet> hmm
[17:43] <space_cadet> will look
[17:43] <space_cadet> thx jrib
[17:44] <space_cadet> jrib, awesome.
[17:44] <chazco> ellar - I think /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules may be the place, but i'm not sure so best to check first
[17:44] <bernier> Hi, I'd like to know what is currently the best alternative to the nvidia binary drivers.
[17:44] <space_cadet> now if i can only get my battery to hold a charge... lol [ot]
[17:44] <jrib> bernier: nv
[17:45] <bernier> does it provide 3D acceleration?
[17:45] <clearscreen> bernier: no
[17:45] <jrib> bernier: no
[17:45] <bernier> OK THANKS
[17:45] <bernier> oops my bad
[17:45] <space_cadet> hmm
[17:45] <ellar> chazco: directory doesn't exist. there's only "00sleep_module" 9.04 Beta
[17:45] <magnetron> bernier→ there's a newcomer called "nouveau", still in development but will eventually include 3d acceleration
[17:46] <bernier> magnetron: thank you.
[17:46] <chazco> Can anyone recommend a good (and up-to-date) tutorial on setting up SSH in a secure way using public/private keys? (to control a netbook from a desktop)
[17:46] <chazco> ellar - Ah, you may be better asking in the +1 channel for 9.04
[17:47] <ellar> chazco: ubuntu+1?
[17:47] <chazco> Yep
[17:47] <nathan7> chazco: ssh-keygen -t rsa
[17:47] <ellar> chazco: thankx, I'll try
[17:47] <chazco> ellar - Ok, good luck :)
[17:47] <nathan7> chazco: Put the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the box you want to access.
[17:48] <chazco> nathan7 - So the public key ends up on the server and the private one on the client?
[17:48] <jrib> ChotaZ: you can also use « ssh-copy-id » instead of copying it manually
[17:48] <nathan7> Yeah.
[17:48] <dimfish> I am using ath5k as my wireless driver and use modprobe ath5k to load it successfully.  But when I log out and back in ath5k does not get loaded automatically.  Can anyone help?
[17:48] <MenZa> dimfish: Yeah; what you did before wouldn't work.
[17:48] <MenZa> dimfish: Gimme a sec to type out instructions.
[17:48] <chazco> nathan7 - Ah okay, thanks for the tip :)
[17:49] <jrib> chazco: erm, my last was for you
[17:49] <dimfish> menza, sure
[17:49] <chazco> jrib - Thanks :)
[17:49] <MenZa> dimfish: First, you want to remove the driver you just installed- sudo make uninstall where you installed it before. Then you need your CD, from which you can install the package 'linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic'. Then put "blacklist ath_pci" [no quotes] in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. Add "ath5k" to your /etc/modules and reboot. It should work like a charm.
[17:50] <dimfish> I'll do that, thanks menza
[17:50] <MenZa> dimfish →  welcome. I'll be around if that doesn't work as intended. :)
[17:51] <dimfish> can I use apt-get instead of CD?
[17:51] <space_cadet> anyone know an apple room?

[17:51] <MenZa> dimfish→  but yeah, it's in the repos as well.
[17:51] <afallenhope> !sephome
[17:51] <afallenhope> !home
[17:51] <nathan7> !boob
[17:52] <nathan7> !boobs
[17:52] <MenZa> dimfish→  I just tend to have no internet connection when I install the drivers, so I use the CD repository to install from.

[17:58] <Aeos> the folder was created (with encryption) on install.
[17:58] <chotaz> MenZa: Thanks

[18:01] <LjL> Negative: not currently
[18:01] <ikonia> sambo_the_ninja: samba shouldn't be used to resolve hostnames unless your using it as a domain controller, a name service should be used

[18:03] <ikonia> sambo_the_ninja: for small networks, the machines host file is normally enough
[18:03] <MenZa> marcosRz→ That's nice, but this channel is purely support; try showing it off in #ubuntu-offtopic instead. It might yield more response.
[18:03] <sambo_the_ninja> Not sure--apologies for my ignorance.
[18:04] <sambo_the_ninja> e.g. /etc/hosts?
[18:04] <ikonia> sambo_the_ninja: how many machines ?
[18:04] <sambo_the_ninja> only two clients

[18:09] <psychoactive_sti> i installed the new nvidia drivers and now I cant see anything anymore. how can I revert it???
[18:09] <MenZa> ^Ocean^→ Provided you don't mind binary drivers.
[18:09] <burlitsa> what is VB?
[18:09] <^Ocean^> MenZa, well, im in a dual boot situation ,  so i was thinking more for performance in games and stuff
[18:09] <burlitsa> can this help me?
[18:09] <Dreamglider> burlitsa, it's a virtual box
[18:09] <MenZa> ^Ocean^→ Um, personally, I'd go with the NVIDIA card.
[18:09] <dupondje> MenZa: want it a bit more heavy :) like skiplists, tabs, bookmarks, fxp support etc
[18:09] <MenZa> ^Ocean^→ Although that might just be because I despise ATI cards in general.
[18:10] <MenZa> dupondje→ um. FileZilla?

[18:11] <Iceman_B^Ltop> any server wizards here? During installation I chose "do not configure a network at this time" does this mean the Ethernet card isnt working after a reboot ?

[18:21] <Iceman_B^Ltop> clearscreen: I thought I did that during installation....
[18:21] <Iceman_B^Ltop> well, I'll just reinstall
[18:21] <Iceman_B^Ltop> quicker that way
[18:21] <sambo_the_ninja> usser: Yep, I've got them right after files. Smbclient -L and smbtree comes up with the hostname thu.
[18:21] <jason> hello
[18:21] <mccord42> I tried setting modeline and it still looks like this: http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/4492/screenshot1iyp.png
[18:22] <lfaraone> jpds: thanks
[18:22] <usser> sambo_the_ninja, hm it usually fixed things for me.
[18:22] <daftykins> Iceman_B^Ltop, how did you setup the PC?
[18:22] <brutus> how do I 'cd' into a tar.gz file?
[18:23] <dayo> brutus: less filename.tar.gz
[18:23] <bjoern_> hi
[18:23] <jpds> brutus: You can't, you have to uncompress it first.
[18:23] <jpds> brutus: tar vfzx name.tar.gz
[18:23] <jason> looking for help with wine
[18:23] <hemanth> Best method to compile kernel version 2.4.28 on 2.6.27-11-generic ?
[18:23] <sambo_the_ninja> usser: Methinks it might be a bug. I've tried everything in the book thus far. The server is on wireless which might have something to do with it
[18:23] <jpds> !wine | jason
[18:23] <dayo> !wine | jason
[18:23] <dayo> lol
[18:24] <sara71> ciao a tutti! ::mIRC p2p::
[18:24] <mib_bc199lil> paprna:  do you know anything about sound servere crashes
[18:24] <mib_bc199lil> ?
[18:24] <dayo> ciao bella
[18:24] <brutus> dayo, less just gives me a listing of the files in it....i want to delete some of them too through the terminal
[18:24] <mrwes> come va amigo mio!
[18:24] <bjoern_> I have a problem with speestep / acpi. mz intel C2D CPU is not clocking down in idle and I can not read any acpi infos like temperatures or fan speed. and fans are running at 100% all the time. some hints? thx :)
[18:24] <Flannel> !it
[18:24] <dayo> brutus: then untar them with the command jpds gave u above
[18:24] <paprna> mib_bc199lil: no
[18:24] <LinuxLion> exit
[18:25] <LinuxLion> I have a problem with speestep / acpi. mz intel C2D CPU is not clocking down in idle and I can not read any acpi infos like temperatures or fan speed. and fans are running at 100% all the time. some hints? thx :)
[18:25] <dayo> brutus: untar it with:   tar xvzf filename.tar.gz   then cd into the resulting directory. delete as required, then retar with    tar cvzf filename.tar.gz  directoryname
[18:26] <brutus> dayo, If I double click a file in the archive to view in gedit it gives me some cryptic extension...is there a way to know this beforehand so I can cd into it from the terminal?
[18:26] <dayo> brutus: a way to know what beforehand?
[18:26] <dayo> brutus: just untar it and you can browse the files in a normal directory
[18:26] <brutus> dayo...suppose you have a text file in a archive
[18:27] <dayo> brutus: yeah?
[18:27] <brutus> dayo, and you double click it to open in gedit (say)
[18:27] <BigMoopies> I have a drive that keeps saying [161646.659856] Buffer I/O error on device sdd1, logical block 786433 , over and over.  What should I do about it? Get the data I can from it and reformat it and hope for the best ?
[18:27] <dayo> brutus: yeah?
[18:27] <brutus> and you try to open another file using browse...
[18:27] <chainsinthewall> does anyone have experience with broadcom wireless cards?
[18:27] <dayo> chainsinthewall: *gag*
[18:27] <brutus> dayo, then the path is set to some name symbolizing the archive
[18:28] <brutus> dayo, if you have an archive file you can probably see this
[18:28] <dayo> brutus: well, i've never tried that before. if i want at the content of a tarball, i untar the thing first.
[18:28] <dayo> brutus: let me try. i have a wesnoth tarball on my desktop.
[18:28] <meoblast001> hi.. i need some help fixing my mom's computer and she is a little impatient... i tried changing her screen resolution and now nothing shows up.... this is in gnome and is not the global xorg... this is the user-specific resolution... how do i reset this to xorg default?
[18:28] <BigMoopies> I guess I should try gparted to see if I can format it ?
[18:28] <chainsinthewall> dayo: yeah, i had ubuntu on my laptop about a year ago, and i managed to get it working then, but for some reason no luck this time around
[18:29] <mccord42> has anyone seen anything like this issue with my display? http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/4492/screenshot1iyp.png
[18:29] <dayo> chainsinthewall: i too am one for two on the broadcom thing
[18:29] <mib_bc199lil> ls
[18:29] <daftykins> meoblast001, default ubuntu 8.10 install, changed res and no more picture?
[18:29] <jardi> hi all
[18:30] <dayo> !hi | jardi
[18:30] <brutus> dayo, goddit?
[18:30] <cherva> where can I find the switches for the "X" command ? There is no man page
[18:30] <Frijolie> how do you add ascii characters to a filename?
[18:30] <chainsinthewall> dayo: yeah, my friend told me just to go get some intel card, but its a shame to have to buy a new card just to use linux
[18:30] <jardi> can anyone try to reproduce this bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/351020 ?
[18:31] <dayo> brutus: give me a second. i had to go and pick the one tarball that is 200+ MB  >.<
[18:31] <LjL> Frijolie: "mv" will rename a file
[18:31] <jardi> and tell me if I or Vojtech is crazy
[18:31] <Frijolie> LjL, I know how to rename a file, i'm asking how to add an ascii character to the filename
[18:31] <meoblast001> daftykins: yes
[18:31] <LjL> Frijolie: all the ASCII characters are on your keyboard
[18:31] <Frijolie> LjL, more specifically "1/2" as a character
[18:32] <LjL> Frijolie: that's not ASCII
[18:32] <durt> cherva, why do you want to run X from a command line?
[18:32] <meoblast001> daftykins: i didn't change the system wide res.... just the Gnome one
[18:32] <Frijolie> LjL, they are? it's extended ascii
[18:32] <dayo> brutus: ok, i've opened a txt file from the tarball. what next?
[18:32] <cherva> durt: to make wine run a game in different terminal
[18:32] <meoblast001> daftykins: so GDM comes up but when logged in, i have all this stuff all over because the resolution is off
[18:32] <LjL> Frijolie: there's no such thing as "extended ASCII". there are several ASCII based codes. Ubuntu uses Unicode encoded as UTF-8, is that what you want?
[18:32] <cherva> durt: http://winehq.pastebin.com/m38300620
[18:32] <brutus> dayo, in gedit...try to open another file...the path will be set to something..just have a look at that
[18:32] <cherva> durt: something like this
[18:32] <daftykins> so it's just wrong inside the user account meoblast001 ?
[18:32] <Frijolie> LjL, I've seen it so I know it's possible. I don't care if it's ascii or Unicode
[18:33] <LjL> Frijolie: of course it's possible. it just won't necessarily work if you transfer files to Windows or something.
[18:33] <dayo> brutus: in gedit open another file from the tar, or from the filesystem?
[18:33] <Frijolie> LjL, Oh yeah, I'm not going to be transferring it to Windows or anything
[18:33] <LjL> Frijolie: and if you say "an ASCII character", i can't really just guess that you mean "NOT an ascii character"
[18:33] <sambo_the_ninja> Any help with samba would be much appreciated. I can connect with the Netbios name under vista but not from my debian machine or my sis' mac. I can connect using the IP and can see the netbios name with smbtree and smbclient (I can connect this way) but cannot ping it using the netbios name on my debian machine. Any ideas?
[18:33] <brutus> dayo, from the tar...it should be already in the folder inside the tar by default
[18:33] <cherva> jardi: this bug is not reproducable on my ubuntu 8.10, totem 2.24.3
[18:33] <LjL> Frijolie: anyway what keyboard layout are you on?
[18:33] <LjL> Frijolie: US-intl i assume?
[18:33] <LinuxLion> I have a problem with speestep / acpi. my intel C2D CPU is not clocking down in idle and I can not read any acpi infos like temperatures or fan speed. and fans are running at 100% all the time. some hints? thx :)
[18:34] <chainsinthewall> what laptop cards are known to work with ubuntu?
[18:34] <meoblast001> daftykins: yes
[18:34] <Frijolie> LjL, uh, i'm not sure...I'm an English speaker and uh...
[18:34] <meoblast001> daftykins: my mom is asking if i have to reinstall her system and i'm saying no
[18:34] <LjL> Frijolie: and you are in the US so you probably have US-intl
[18:34] <jklock> chainsinthewall: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[18:34] <brutus> dayo, if you go to file->open...the window that shows up will show the folders inside the archive right?
[18:34] <dayo> brutus: it's not letting me do that. basically, i think the problem is this: opening a tarball like that loads it into /tmp
[18:34] <picca> what would you guys recommend for running XP in a virtual machine, ... was thinking qemu, but don't know how well this performs
[18:34] <Frijolie> LjL, System > Preferences > Keyboard just says US
[18:34] <daftykins> meoblast001, i would delete gnome related folders in her user directory at command line until it starts up in default res, i tried google just now but can't find where it would set the user resolution
[18:35] <durt> cherva, some backslashes are forward slashes? Also, outta my league.
[18:35] <chainsinthewall> jklock: thanks
[18:35] <dayo> picca: virtualbox
[18:35] <meoblast001> daftykins: ok thanks
[18:35] <danand> picca: sun's virtualbox is ok
[18:35] <jardi> cherva: crazy ! I reproduced it on any ubuntu I tried it (3 different installs of 8.10 and a 9.04)
[18:35] <daftykins> meoblast001, that's '.gnome2' and '.gconf' and '.confd' etc :)
[18:35] <picca> dayo, thanks ... is that opensource/free
[18:35] <picca> thanks danand
[18:35] <dayo> picca: yep
[18:35] <LjL> Frijolie: uhm, try hitting AltGr+7, if it's US-intl it'll work, but if it's just US, it won'y
[18:35] <picca> excellent ... thanks dayo
[18:35] <cherva> jardi: sorry, the video isn't pausing here
[18:35] <dayo> picca: u're welcome :-)
[18:35] <brutus> well, what path I have in that is ~/brutus/.fr-6LLvrj/<textfile>
[18:36] <brutus> dayo
[18:36] <Frijolie> LjL, I know what Alt is, but what's "Gr"?
[18:36] <cherva> durt: the "\" are because of the spaces in the word
[18:36] <hanasaki> what do I install for java plugin in firefox
[18:36] <hanasaki> !java
[18:36] <dayo> brutus: yeah, i had something similar. i think that's just a temporary, path. best is to untar fully.
[18:36] <LjL> Frijolie: right Alt
[18:36] <durt> cherva, figured
[18:36] <Frijolie> LjL, alright so "right Alt" + 7
[18:37] <LjL> Frijolie: yes, that will work if you're using the intl version of US
[18:37] <safsoft> Hello every body
[18:37] <brutus> dayo, ok,...thanks
[18:37] <safsoft> nice to meet u all
[18:37] <brutus> safsoft, yo

[18:37] <holzmodem> hi, I try to build a kernel inside launchpad ppa, but the buildprocess reports EE: Previous or current ABI file missing! I prepare the source with debuild -S -sd, and this removes the missing abi files, how can I keep the abi files?
[18:37] <dayo> brutus: u're welcome :-)
[18:37] <safsoft> thanks :)
