[10:15] <Sergemine> Someone, please help me set up network in Ubuntu with a fixed IP like this 192.168.0!.XXX (Ubuntu seems to be incompatable with "0" in IPs. Every time I set my IP to <IP_ADDRESS> - I get "Network is unreachable". Abd same responce even if I rty to ping another computer on network with a "0" in ti's IP). Please help fix it.
[10:16] <kling0n> tanlaan: but it's pretty much guesswork unless I get some log output
[10:16] <mactimes> Sergemine: Go to _System_ menu
[10:16] <kling0n> Sergemine: sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:16] <sarthor> i want to get help about ddclient.conf, if i am on wrong place, tell me. my ddclient.conf is here " http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51330/ " i dont want to use crontab for updating, how to update after 120 minutes

[10:16] <mnemonica> Question: How do I update my graphics card?    Running 7.10 with Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[10:17] <mnemonica> Or what, even, should I update it with...? Having some issues in WoW. Graphics are screwy.
[10:18] <Sergemine> Is therea way to set Ubuntu up with a fixed IP like this: <IP_ADDRESS> ???
[10:18] <mactimes> mnemo: In System --> Administration --> Restricted Drivers Manager, do you see any drivers for your graphics card?
[10:18] <mactimes> Sergemine: System --> Administration --> Network
[10:19] <kling0n> tanlaan: just to clarify: you have no icons on the desktop. Can you see the gnome panel? can you see the wallpeper?
[10:19] <kling0n> *paper
[10:19] <Sergemine> mactimes, doesn't work with "0" in IP
[10:19] <mactimes> Sergemine: Set your connection to _Static IP Address_
[10:19] <tanlaan> kling0n: I see absolutely everything fine, the normal icons have just been deleted, my CD even shows up *which is in my drive*
[10:19] <mactimes> Sergemine: Enter your IP, subnet mask and gatewar
[10:20] <mactimes> Sergemine: Then run sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[10:20] <mactimes> Sergemine: That should do it.
[10:20] <kling0n> tanlaan: hmm that doesn't make a lot of sense to me... you can see everything but the icons are wrong/missing? or what?
[10:21] <tanlaan> kling0n: its as if I had selected my home, and my computer icons and just deleted them
[10:21] <kling0n> hmm
[10:21] <kling0n> ok
[10:21] <Sergemine> mactimes, tryed that. but it doesn't work if IP includes a 0 !!
[10:21] <mactimes> Sergemine: Sure it works.  That's how I use it here.
[10:21] <vinboy> hi
[10:22] <kling0n> tanlaan: are the files gone from your ~/Desktop directory?
[10:22] <vinboy> how do I do ext3 online resize?
[10:22] <Sergemine> mactimes, do you? you have a fixed IP with 0 ???
[10:22] <mactimes> Sergemine: I'll give you step by step once again.  Just try to keep up.
[10:22] <tanlaan> kling0n: yup, I've got nothing on my desktop
[10:22] <tanlaan> kling0n: err, in my Desktop
[10:22] <kling0n> tanlaan: and if you open the desktop as a folde in nautlus?
[10:22] <kling0n> ok
[10:22] <kling0n> tanlaan: hmm
[10:22] <TeePOG> hi
[10:22] <tanlaan> kling0n: yea thats what I meant
[10:23] <mactimes> Sergemine: System -> Administration -> Network / If you have multiple network adapters, disable all you won't use, by setting their state to roaming.
[10:23] <kling0n> tanlaan: any files missing? or just the shortcuts?
[10:23] <TeePOG> can I blacklist a driver module in the dapper install boot menu so it doesn't load?
[10:23] <Sergemine> mactimes, I did everything like you said, but "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart"
[10:23] <mactimes> Sergemine: Select the adapter you want to configure, disable roaming, set state to static ip address and configure
[10:23] <tanlaan> kling0n: Shortcuts, I don't use my desktop for files
[10:23] <mactimes> Sergemine: So do it and you shall have it done
[10:23] <kling0n> tanlaan: ok... you could just recreate them then
[10:24] <mactimes> Sergemine: You can do that or reboot the computer
[10:24] <kling0n> tanlaan: or perhaps try to run fsck to check for inode errors
[10:24] <Sergemine> mactimes, what is the "roaming mode" ?
[10:24] <acidfire2008> anyone know how to change port on pureftpd?
[10:24] <kling0n> tanlaan: sudo tune2fs -C 21 /dev/hda1 will schedule fsck to run on next startup
[10:25] <mactimes> Sergemine: It seems that it disables configuration for that specific network adapter.
[10:25] <mactimes> Sergemine: Got it running now?
[10:25] <kling0n> acidfire2008: i'd try looking in the config file
[10:25] <tanlaan> kling0n: alright, so you want me to restart and run fsck?
[10:25] <acidfire2008> ive tried
[10:25] <acidfire2008> its confusing
[10:25] <kling0n> tanlaan: well, if the shortcuts disappeared you might have a disc error of sorts
[10:25] <acidfire2008> some places say i need to make my own files etc
[10:25] <tanlaan> kling0n: alright, I'll brb
[10:25] <Sergemine> mactimes, not yet. Thank you. will be back soon.
[10:25] <kling0n> tanlaan: there might be some arcane setting for automatically showing shortcuts ofcourse
[10:26] <mactimes> Sergemine: Roger that.
[10:26] <kling0n> tanlaan: in which case i'm not aware (yet) where it's placed
[10:26] <kling0n> tanlaan: sudden changes like that would make me do a file system check as first thing though
[10:26] <tanlaan> kling0n: oh, thats odd...
[10:27] <tanlaan> kling0n: it isn't finding my other partition, and it gave me an error saying it couldn't find /dev/hda1
[10:27] <egonw> a JSP question: I installed Apache/Tomcat5.5 and things are loaded, but .jsp pages are shown as if plain text files... dont' see anything weird in the error.log... ideas?
[10:27] <kling0n> tanlaan: you should adjust depending on your disk layout
[10:27] <tanlaan> kling0n: well crap, I think I might need to reinstall =/
[10:27] <schnootop> has anyone tried to dual boot ubuntu on a vista hdd
[10:27] <icesword> tanlaan, what about ls /dev/hd*
[10:27] <kling0n> tanlaan: output of 'mount' should show you what the correct device nam eis
[10:27] <egonw> schnootop: yes
[10:27] <kling0n> *name
[10:28] <kling0n> tanlaan: reinstalling should not be necessary
[10:28] <schnootop> egonw, do you need to do anything special or is it still straight forward ?
[10:28] <kling0n> tanlaan: just about anything can be fixed :)
[10:28] <mactimes> schnootop: I have already tried.  Worked fine for me.
[10:28] <mactimes> schnootop: Until I decided to remove Vista =)
[10:28] <egonw> schnootop: make sure to create a good partition first, then install Vista, then Ubuntu
[10:29] <egonw> (re)partitioning after Vista installed, made Vista unbootable...
[10:29] <tanlaan> kling0n: apparently my root is running on /dev/sda3 so I changed the tune2fs thing and then it outputted "Setting current moutn count to 21"
[10:29] <kling0n> tanlaan: perfect
[10:29] <kling0n> tanlaan: it should run fsck on next restart then
[10:29] <tanlaan> kling0n: alright, I'll brb after restart
[10:30] <sarthor_> i want to get help about ddclient.conf, if i am on wrong place, tell me. my ddclient.conf is here " http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51330/ " i dont want to use crontab for updating, how to update after 120 minutes
[10:30] <schnootop> egonw, its on a laptop. i want to partition a vista enabled drive already :(
[10:31] <egonw> schnootop: not sure about that... the IT department had removed Vista on my laptop, wanting to reinstall XP, to discover that there were no suitable drivers :) so installed Ubuntu myself, and added Vista later again
[10:31] <mactimes> schnootop: Repartition de disc (using partition magic or some sort of tool) then install Ubuntu.
[10:31] <Peeco> schnootop: there should be no problem partitioning, partition magic or something first
[10:31] <tanlaan> kling0n: I'm not quite sure if it ran...
[10:31] <schnootop> yeah i thought that is what i might need to do mactimes
[10:31] <Peeco> ah, as mactimes says!!!
[10:32] <tanlaan> kling0n: It didn't go out of Splash to run it *like usual*
[10:32] <kling0n> tanlaan: hmm perhaps it will run on 22nd mount
[10:32] <kling0n> tanlaan: can't actually remember
[10:32] <kling0n> you could set mount count to 200 to be sure :)
[10:32] <kling0n> tanlaan: i'm going afk  a bit bbl
[10:32] <chazco> Hi... I cant sync any of my mobile devices with Ubuntu - or VirtualBox :( Can anyone think of any other methods which may work?
[10:33] <tanlaan> kling0n: can you paste that code one more time
[10:33] <tanlaan> kling0n: before you leave
[10:34] <Ntemis> hello
[10:34] <icesword> tanlaan, why not ask man ?man tune2fs or google tune2fs
[10:34] <Ntemis> need some ergent help please
[10:34] <Ntemis> urgent
[10:35] <PLSshowyourhelp> Hello, who can tell me checking filesystem when poweron is whether  normal or abnormal?
[10:35] <mactimes> Ntemis: Then you should probably start describing your problem.
[10:35] <Ntemis> i have an usb hdd ext3 from other system ->fedora 2 and i want some files from it but dont let me take anything from it
[10:35] <Ntemis> i dont have permissions
[10:35] <Ntemis> hdd is recognised ok
[10:35] <Ntemis> but i cannot take move or copy paste anything
[10:35] <egonw> can anyone tell me how I get .jsp pages to be processed by tomcat5.5?
[10:36] <Ntemis> how i fix perrmissions
[10:36] <egonw> instead of dumping them as plain text?
[10:36] <mactimes> Ntemis: Can you see the files?
[10:36] <Ntemis> yes
[10:36] <sarthor_> i want to get help about ddclient.conf, if i am on wrong place, tell me. my ddclient.conf is here " http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51330/ " i dont want to use crontab for updating, how to update after 120 minutes
[10:36] <mactimes> Ntemis: is it ok for you if you take ownership of all files inside the ext3 partition?
[10:36] <chazco> PLSshowyourhelp - It is normal, does it every 30 or so start ups
[10:36] <Ntemis> i also have the username and password for the su of the hard disk
[10:36] <Ntemis> yes
[10:37] <Ntemis> i will take the files off the hdd and then format it to ext3
[10:37] <Ntemis> and put back into gutsy
[10:37] <Ntemis> as a backup
[10:37] <PLSshowyourhelp> chazco:  ok, thanks
[10:37] <mactimes> Ntemis: The following command should grant you permission on the directory and all subdirectories and files
[10:38] <Ntemis> from terminal?
[10:38] <acidfire2008> how can i find out how to do a install of glftpd?
[10:38] <acidfire2008> on gutsy
[10:38] <mactimes> Ntemis: sudo chown-R  yourusername:yourusergroup /your/mounted/partition; sudo chmod -R u+a /your/mounted/partition
[10:39] <mactimes> Ntemis: Err. missing a space between chown and -R
[10:39] <Ntemis> i see
[10:39] <Ntemis> thanks much
[10:39] <Ntemis> mactimes
[10:39] <mactimes> Ntemis: You're welcome. =)
[10:39] <Ntemis> but i dont understand :)
[10:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Ntemis: May I ask a quick question
[10:40] <Ntemis> yes
[10:40] <Ntemis> of course
[10:40] <mactimes> Ntemis: chown changes the owner, chmod changes the permissions
[10:40] <Jack_Sparrow> You are just wanting to copy and or move the files?
[10:40] <Ntemis> yes jack
[10:40] <cvasilak> hi, the latest ati driver doesn't recoqnize my 1680x1050 resolution, it a known issue in the release notes, so i have to do it manually, I tried entering the solution in xorg.conf but it isn't recognized, any help?
[10:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Ntemis: Is this for a backup?
[10:41] <freepenguin> hello
[10:41] <Ntemis> i want to format it after i get the files
[10:41] <tylerjgillies> anyone use linux mint?
[10:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Ntemis: Sorry I came in late... My concern is changing permissions on all those files when you could perhaps cause yourself problems later.
[10:42] <shyal> Hi
[10:42] <Jack_Sparrow> If you are trying to save your /home .. you should apready have permission to do so.
[10:43] <shyal> I've done something very stupid and need help
[10:43] <shyal> after ubuntu auto mounted my mp3 player
[10:44] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: Let us know as clearly as you can what you did.. and see who can help
[10:44] <shyal> I set the filesystem type as 'iaudio'
[10:44] <shyal> when I rebooted and plugged it in again
[10:44] <shyal> I got this message
[10:44] <shyal> the volume 'IAUDIO' uses the iaudio file system which is not supported by your system.
[10:44] <shawnmstout> whats the command to make a directory?
[10:45] <shawnmstout> md?
[10:45] <shyal> mkdir
[10:45] <shawnmstout> thanks
[10:45] <l3dx> how can I "echo" all text output from a program into a textfile?
[10:45] <nvictor> hi
[10:45] <shyal> am I right in thinking this is being managed by gnome-volume-manager
[10:45] <nvictor> how do I check ownership of a file?
[10:45] <tylerjgillies> l3dx: /path/to/program > output.txt
[10:46] <l3dx> tylerjgillies: thanks :)
[10:46] <tylerjgillies> l3dx: thats stdout to get error messages add 2>&1 to the end of that line
[10:46] <mactimes> nvictor: ls -l should give you long description for files/directories
[10:46] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition.Layout.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T).txt    would be a working example
[10:46] <shyal> hal-device-manager is no help
[10:46] <shyal> nore is gnome-volume-properties
[10:46] <nvictor> thanks
[10:47] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: what brand of player is this?
[10:47] <shyal> iaudio X5 (cowon)
[10:47] <shyal> and it was automounting, and I stupidly set the filesystem type to iaudio
[10:48] <shawnmstout> how about remove directory?
[10:48] <phi_> how do i turn off kdewallaet in ubuntu 7.1?
[10:48] <mactimes> shawnmstout: rmdir myemptydirectory
[10:48] <phi_> how do i turn off/uninstall kdewallet in ubuntu 7.1?
[10:48] <mactimes> shawnmstout: To remove a non-empty directory and all subcontent you can do rm -r mynonemptydirectory
[10:48] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: Are you looking to use gparted or a cli tool to reformat it to fat or whatever it was?
[10:48] <tylerjgillies> phi_: #kubuntu would probably know, this is mostly gnome users
[10:49] <shyal> jack_sparrow: no I just want to mount it.. and access my files
[10:49] <phi_> isnt ubuntu 7.1 gnome?
[10:49] <Jack_Sparrow> phi_: You should be able to use synaptic to remove/uninstall it
[10:49] <tylerjgillies> phi_: no, ubuntu is a linux distro. gnome is a window manager
[10:50] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: Like the error says it isnt a supported file system
[10:50] <shyal> um yeah 'iaudio' isn't a filesystem at all
[10:50] <shyal> I think it's vfat
[10:50] <shyal> and it was working
[10:50] <shyal> until I set it as 'iaudio' file system...
[10:50] <shyal> and now I'd like to unset that
[10:51] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition.Layout.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T).txt    and see what it shows, use pastebin to post it for me.
[10:52] <icesword> Jack_Sparrow, are you in America?
[10:52] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[10:52] <N> you are pirate?
[10:52] <Jack_Sparrow> tylerjgillies: Hi, technically, gnome is the desktop and compiz is the window manager....
[10:52] <shyal> thankx jack sparrow
[10:52] <shyal> jack_sparrow: http://pastebin.com/m3dbbc03a
[10:52] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: np
[10:53] <Jack_Sparrow> N: No
[10:53] <N> are you pirate? good
[10:53] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: Checking now
[10:53] <tylerjgillies> Jack_Sparrow: i don't use compiz. and you're right metacity is my window manager
[10:54] <shawnmstout> if i use a mv * /etc  and there are different files in there will it just add to the files in /etc or when it has the different folders will it overwrite the folders instead of writing the new files to the subfolders in that directory
[10:54] <shawnmstout> i hope i was clear in explaining that
[10:54] <Jack_Sparrow> tylerjgillies: Not trying to split hairs...
[10:54] <tylerjgillies> Jack_Sparrow: well, would be anyway if i used gnome. i use xfce personally
[10:54] <shyal> jack_sparrow: I'm pretty sure my player is on 'sdc1'
[10:54] <Ntemis> thanks mac
[10:54] <Ntemis> i must restart
[10:54] <phi_> so no one know?
[10:54] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: good news.. it is still fat  format on that player
[10:54] <mactimes> Ntemis: you're welcome =)
[10:54] <phi_> cause kubuntu channel not saying anything
[10:55] <Jack_Sparrow> phi_: One sec
[10:55] <Jack_Sparrow> !find kdewallet
[10:55] <ubotu> Package/file kdewallet does not exist in gutsy
[10:55] <shyal> probably would have done my mp3 collection a favour by formatting it
[10:55] <shyal> :p
[10:56] <tylerjgillies> phi_: do you know the package name for kdewallet?
[10:56] <Jack_Sparrow> phi_: I have not used kde in a long time..  but it should still use apt-get remove
[10:56] <shyal> jack_sparrow: how can I eradicate the 'iaudio' filesystem option which is somewhat attached to sdc1?
[10:56] <billenium> I'm trying to get this program to work. But it needs glibc2.7.... Where can i get it?
[10:57] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: What is giving you that error?  or is iaudio just a mount point
[10:57] <Jack_Sparrow> billenium: What program are you trying to install
[10:58] <shyal> jack_sparrow: if you have an automounted disk on your desktop, and you right click, and hit properties
[10:58] <Peeco> Does anyone know ChristopherGiroir
[10:58] <shyal> you get the disk properties
[10:59] <tylerjgillies> !seen ChristopherGiroir
[10:59] <shyal> then if you click on the 'drive' tab, and hit 'settings' you can set the file system type
[10:59] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: and under volume..file system it shows..?
[10:59] <Peeco> !seen
[10:59] <ubotu> The seen function has not been operational for a long time.  Use /msg seenserv seen nickname instead.
[11:00] <shyal> well the same kind of settings, still empty
[11:00] <shyal> now the problem is I can't get this window up for my player
[11:00] <shyal> because it first needs to be mounted...
[11:00] <Peeco> Im not sure if this is his alias however
[11:00] <shyal> but it won't mount it.. because I set some stupid values in there last time
[11:00] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: do the same thing again   but put in there vfat
[11:01] <shyal> jack_sparrow: that's the problem, I can't!
[11:01] <shyal> jack_sparrow: I can't get that window up.. need to mount the volume first
[11:01] <shyal> jack_sparrow: but it can't be mounted anymore
[11:02] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: Could you pastebin this for me    cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/fstab.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T)
[11:02] <billenium> Jack_Sparrow: Acovel
[11:02] <billenium> version 0.01
[11:02] <shyal> jack_sparrow: thanks http://pastebin.com/m731b65ca
[11:03] <billenium> Jack_Sparrow: can i download glibc2.7? or do i have to wait for the new Ubuntu to come out
[11:03] <shyal> jack_sparrow: but I don't think it's stored it in fstab
[11:04] <Belisarivs> Hi all.
[11:05] <jrlenz> ok, so i installed ubuntu on my laptop, which has an ati driver
[11:05] <jrlenz> and i've been attempting to get xinerama to work
[11:05] <jrlenz> anyone have ideas as to why i can't use multiple monitors?
[11:06] <topicks> tylerjgillies: test
[11:06] <jrlenz> linuxfce, i'd advise against ircing from the root account :)
[11:06] <linuxfce> you just had to go an announce it
[11:06] <jrlenz> everyone saw it
[11:06] <jrlenz> when you joined.
[11:06] <tylerjgillies> Commensing hack attack...
[11:07] <TeePOG> *beep beep*
[11:07] <topicks> 03:06 -!- linuxfce<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has joined  #ubuntu
[11:07] <linuxfce> using the root account on irc isnt very dangerous if you use a proxy
[11:07] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: Agreed.. not in there...I assume you have shut down removed it, restarted and reinserted it to see if it sautomounts correctly
[11:07] <linuxfce> you act like i didnt know this
[11:07] <shyal> jack_sparrow: absolutely
[11:08] <tylerjgillies> topicks: shut up
[11:08] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: so. fstab shows vfat but properties under the mount show iaudio...
[11:09] <Jack_Sparrow> billenium: Not trying to ignore you but I was trying to see if I could help him first
[11:09] <inertial> what's the best way to restart X when i'm testing new xorg configs?
[11:09] <shyal> yeah well fdisk recons it's fat apparently
[11:09] <tylerjgillies> Intelligitimate: ctrl+alt+backspace
[11:09] <shyal> but yes when I plug it in I get thisi error about iaudio fs not being supported
[11:09] <kling0n> inertial: stop the gdm service and use startx in stead
[11:10] <tylerjgillies> inertial: i meant that for you
[11:10] <kling0n> inertial: from console: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[11:10] <billenium> Jack_Sparrow: no problem, im patient =)
[11:10] <inertial> tylerjgillies and kling0n both of yours have the same effect of restarting X? tylerjgillies's is faster
[11:10] <kling0n> tylerjgillies: restarts x
[11:10] <jrlenz> meh.
[11:11] <kling0n> inertial: using startx from console will give you output that can be used to fix errors (if you encoutner any)
[11:11] <kling0n> encounter
[11:11] <Jack_Sparrow> inertial: ctrl-alt-backspace is faster. but some feel it is less safe
[11:12]  * tylerjgillies didn't start using linux because he wanted to feel safe ;)
[11:12] <Jack_Sparrow> inertial: Less cleanly shutdown might be a better term
[11:12] <inertial> thanks Jack_Sparrow
[11:12] <inertial> kling0n: it's not a completely fatal problem, so the output isn't that important..
[11:12] <Jack_Sparrow> tylerjgillies: You probably didnt want to feel clean either
[11:13] <Belisarivs> I have a problem. My soundcard seased to work. There is no hw problem. It is rather new notebook. Soundcard is from intel. Fully supported. Alsa-utils are running. Perhaps proper module isn't loaded. Which one is it? Could someone help?
[11:13] <tylerjgillies> Jack_Sparrow: nope ;D
[11:13] <inertial> i'm using the ati 8.42.2 drivers and X is really slow ie moving windows aroudn leaves trails
[11:13] <inertial> and i can't use 8.42.3 because it breaks 1690x1050 :(
[11:13] <inertial> *1680
[11:13] <tylerjgillies> linux doesn't like ati cards a whole lot :(
[11:14] <Belisarivs> ATI doesn't like linux actually
[11:14] <tylerjgillies> thats what i meant
[11:14] <inertial> well i bought one because ever since amd bought them they said they were going to open source the code..
[11:14] <shyal> jack_sparrow: should I try the mailing list?
[11:14] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: I dont want to have you do something that I am not sure will fix that.. I have never had anyone do something like that.. and I am not sure how to fix it at this point.  I would think mounting it with force might let you in..
[11:14] <tylerjgillies> linux not liking the cards is a result of ati not supporting linux for their cards
[11:15] <inertial> i think the support is getting better? they're releasing an updated driver every month now
[11:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Belisarivs: is it an ND sound card
[11:15] <Jack_Sparrow> hd
[11:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !hdaudio
[11:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hdaudio - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:16] <Belisarivs> 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
[11:16] <Belisarivs> yes
[11:16] <shyal> jack_sparrow: ok no worries, indeed it's obscure
[11:16] <Belisarivs> it was working properly
[11:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Belisarivs: I know there was a factoid on those..
[11:16] <shyal> jack_sparrow: thanks for your help, learned a couple of things along the way
[11:17] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: that is a good thing...  sorry I wasnt more help
[11:17] <davide> excuse me I installed a command line ubuntu, then xorg, gnome and gdm but now I can't configure my video card. If I type dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg there is no entry for a video card (only for mouse and keybord settings). Do you know how can I solve my problem?
[11:18] <Tyczek> I have toshiba satellite a210-16 with ubuntu. Can I somehow help and f.e report support with it?
[11:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Belisarivs: See if this is relevant..   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/85869
[11:20] <shyal> jack_sparrow: I found it!
[11:20] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: great news
[11:20] <shyal> 'gconf-editor'
[11:20] <Jack_Sparrow> shyal: I would never have thought to look in there
[11:21] <shyal> jack_sparrow: once in there, under /system/storage/drives/
[11:21] <Jack_Sparrow> davide: May we assume you used sudo dpkg-reconfigure etc...
[11:21] <shyal> jack_sparrow: so thanks to this I've learnt 3 new things today
[11:21] <shyal> cheers for help
[11:21] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[11:23] <davide> Jack_Sparrow, you mean with "sudo"? Yes, I used it.
[11:23] <duudii> good bye
[11:24] <Jack_Sparrow> davide: Did you look at xorg with nano to see what it shows if anything?
[11:24] <Jack_Sparrow> davide: I am assuming you only have cli on that box.
[11:24] <Belisarivs> I read through that article. I'll try to reboot to see whether it works.
[11:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Belisarivs: good luck
[11:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !intelhd
[11:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about intelhd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:24] <davide> Jack_Sparrow,  no, I have a GUI, too
[11:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry for the botabuse.
[11:25] <Belisarivs> Thanks guys.
[11:25] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[11:25] <billenium> Jack_Sparrow: I have to go now, my time has nearly ran up. I did some research and it looks like there is nothing i can do.
[11:25] <Jack_Sparrow> davide: Please post your xorg to the pastebin...
[11:25] <davide> Jack_Sparrow, sure.
[11:26] <Jack_Sparrow> billenium: maybe come back and I can give you more time
[11:27] <davide> Jack_Sparrow, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51332/  It seems that the video options are empty.
[11:27] <Jack_Sparrow> 3:20 am here, sorry for the bad grammar
[11:27] <csisicilia> ciao a tutti
[11:27] <billenium> Jack_Sparrow, oh =P, i have to go to school. Thanks =P
[11:28] <Jack_Sparrow> billenium: catch me later... I will see what I can do
[11:28] <csisicilia> c'e' qualcuno
[11:28] <billenium> peace
[11:28] <davide> csisicilia, se vuoi c'è il canale italiano (digita "/join #ubuntu-it" per partecipare)
[11:28] <csisicilia> ok grazie
[11:28] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks davide
[11:29] <dandand> i use ubuntu 7.10 and cant use wine with my GFcard , how could i get the settings, i also want to use the compiz at the same time
[11:29] <Morris3> hello
[11:29] <Jack_Sparrow> csisicilia: So.. dpkg-reconfigure xserver gave you no video card options?
[11:29] <Morris3> anyone know what the best irc file server is ?
[11:29] <davide> Jack_Sparrow, yes exaclty
[11:30] <Jack_Sparrow> dandand: #winehq will have more info. but if you are looking to run any high end games under wine.. compiz would work
[11:31] <davide> Jack_Sparrow, it just quits when has configured keyboard and mouse options
[11:31] <Jack_Sparrow> davide: May I ask .. if you ever tried to use automatix?
[11:31] <meowsqueak> does anyone know what device nodes should appear in /dev for a SATA hard disk connected to a PCI SATA adapter (adapter presence causes libata and sata_via modules to be loaded at boot)
[11:31] <davide> Jack_Sparrow, no, I don't know it. Shall I try?
[11:32] <Jack_Sparrow> davide: Not that it is a good idea, but it has caused some odd problems like this
[11:32] <Jack_Sparrow> davide: I was mostly trying to make sure you had not.
[11:32] <davide> Jack_Sparrow, ah, ok. No, I have not.
[11:33] <inertial> argh
[11:33] <Belisarivs> It works. But it is weird. I have applet to adjust volume in gnome. It was grayed (although set to max) so I moved with slider in applet, it turned black and voice appeared.
[11:34] <dandand> I've gone there before ,because "wine" make my computer freeze.
[11:34] <dandand> someone there guss it about the GFcard's problem , so i asked here
[11:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Belisarivs: so it sorta works now?
[11:34] <dandand>  I use ti4200. i want to know the driver setting so that the wine wont go error.
[11:35] <Jack_Sparrow> dandand: If you turn off compiz the problem goes away?
[11:35] <Jack_Sparrow> davide: I am still trying to figure out your problem.. not trying to ignore you.
[11:36] <dandand> it would be the same condition,freeze!
[11:36] <Guest16155> hello , i have 2 computer at home on local network, 1 with windows-xp and 1 with ubuntu , when i type on windows \\<IP_ADDRESS> (the ubuntu local ip) i get box of username & password but when i typed my username & password its not working ?
[11:36] <erpo> My bluetooth keyboard and mouse don't work until I log in and run sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart on Gutsy. How can I fix this?
[11:37] <davide> Jack_Sparrow, ok, no worries! Thank you! I have an other perfectly working linux partition installed on my computer, can I just copy the xorg.conf file from there?
[11:37] <Jack_Sparrow> davide: You should be able to...
[11:38] <meowsqueak> what linux module causes 'sda' to appear in /dev ?
[11:38] <Jack_Sparrow> dandand: Is your version of wine installed from the ubuntu repos?
[11:38] <LetsGo67> How many kbps is an audio cassette?
[11:39] <delliott> How should I report a bug in the documentation of a man page?
[11:39] <erpo> LetsGo67: However many you sample it at.
[11:39] <gaurav_> Guest16155: are you tying a username and password that exists on the ubuntu pc?
[11:39] <Jack_Sparrow> LetsGo67: I would not thing it would be a very high rate
[11:40] <LetsGo67> Anyone know how many kbps the thing is recorded at?
[11:40] <erpo> LetsGo67: However many you record it at.
[11:41] <erpo> LetsGo67: Audio cassettes are analog.
[11:41] <Jack_Sparrow> LetsGo67: It could have been recoreded at any rate, the hardware only supports a set rate...
[11:41] <LetsGo67> erpo, no, I am talking about the music label dudes.
[11:41] <dandand>  here are some error message after i type "winecfg" in the Terminal
[11:41] <dandand> Xlib: extension "GLX" miss on display ":O.O"
[11:41] <dandand> err:wgl:X11 DRV_Wine GL_InitOpenglInfo couldn't initialize OPGL, expect problem
[11:41] <erpo> LetsGo67: Perhaps you are confusing kbps with kHz?
[11:41] <Jack_Sparrow> dandand: Is your version of wine installed from the ubuntu repos?
[11:41] <LetsGo67> erpo, no.
[11:41] <LetsGo67> erpo, CD is something like 1440kbps.
[11:42] <darlord> hi
[11:42] <erpo> LetsGo67: CD is 44.1kHz at 16 bits per channel and (typically) two channels.
[11:42] <darlord> what is the command to see my software sources?
[11:42] <dandand> i install wine through "Synpatic"
[11:42] <dandand> wine 0.9.52
[11:42] <Jack_Sparrow> CD audio has a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz (44100 samples per second)
[11:43] <Belisarivs> darlord: cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:43] <darlord> thnx
[11:43] <LetsGo67> Okay, what about tape?  What is that kHz?
[11:43] <erpo> LetsGo67: But audio cassette is analog.
[11:43] <erpo> LetsGo67: You just said that you weren't confusing kHz with kbps. Did you change your mind?
[11:43] <lex> hahaha
[11:43] <LetsGo67> erpo, so the only way to rip tape to Vorbis/Flac is to plug it in the line in?
[11:44] <erpo> LetsGo67: I never said anything like that. But that's how I do it.
[11:44] <Jack_Sparrow> speeds (10–17 kB/s for data rate) on each audio cassette
Audio casette is analog. This means no kHz, because it isn't sampled as on CD
[11:44] <jotham> anyone have any experience with virtualising linux? i want to run a sandpit-desktop and a web server (not high load, just svn and 3 or 4 peoples home pages) on 2 seperate linuxes on the same P3 866
[11:44] <LetsGo67> Everyone, I just need help to select the quality that I should select when ripping to flacs.
[11:45] <erpo> LetsGo67: FLAC should always reproduce the audio perfectly. It's lossless.
[11:45] <Ximal> has anyone seen a cure to the suspend issue where u cannot resume from suspend or hibernate in gutsy ?
[11:45] <darlord> is there any way for someone to change the system log contents?
[11:45] <jotham> and is ubuntu server for me in this cae?
[11:45] <LetsGo67> erpo, FLAC, but at what kbps/khz should I select?
[11:45] <jotham> *case
[11:45] <erpo> LetsGo67: None. FLAC doesn't work that way.
[11:46] <Jack_Sparrow> LetsGo67: go with 44.1 and oversample it
[11:46] <erpo> LetsGo67: FLAC is like ZIP. What goes in is exactly what comes out. You can hope for small files but you get no real control.
[11:47] <Jack_Sparrow> LetsGo67: What tool are you using to create flacs?
[11:47] <anton__> Any way to remove the latest updates? World of Warcraft stopped functioning properly after them...
[11:47] <kling0n> Jack_Sparrow: theres a command called "flac"
[11:47] <kling0n> Jack_Sparrow: which lets you encode directly from raw pcm
[11:48] <Jack_Sparrow> kling0n: But that does not mean he is using that command and not a gui tool to create the flacs..
[11:48] <kling0n> Jack_Sparrow: true
[11:48] <Tyczek> Ximal, after i installed pm-utils i can do hibernation and suspend
[11:49] <kling0n> Jack_Sparrow: you could use audacity or ardour if you prefer
[11:49] <Ximal> so just do sudo apt-get install pm-utils ?
[11:49] <Tyczek> yup
[11:49] <kling0n> audacity to record the sound and the post-processing in ardour if needed
[11:49] <Ximal> thank u... but what is pm utils pckages /
[11:49] <Tyczek> Ximal, thats are scripts
[11:49] <Jack_Sparrow> kling0n: That was my reason for the question.  If he is using a gui tool that is asking for the sampling rate and he enters the rate for a CD he will be sampling at a rate greater than the original recording
[11:50] <Tyczek> dunno what but it helps me to do hibernation and suspend normally
[11:50] <Ximal> thanks m8.. appreciateit tyczek
[11:50] <davide> Jack_Sparrow, I've replaced the xorg.conf file, but when rebooting X didn't work anymore. So I reconfigure again xorg, but with the same problems... so nothing better here.
[11:50] <Tyczek> Ximal, dunno if it'll work at your side
[11:50] <Ximal> u' will know in a moment
[11:50] <Jack_Sparrow> davide: that is too wierd. something serious is going on on that partition/install...
[11:51] <LetsGo67> Okay, guys, if I can choose between cassette and CD, which should I take?
[11:51] <kling0n> Jack_Sparrow: that doesn't matter too much since what you have on the tape is a  analog recording thus no inherent sample rate.. the main criteria for your choice of sample rate should be what quality you want to keep the digital version in balanced against what you can expect from the tape recording
[11:51] <zth> Is there ANY way I can ENCRYPT my whole hdd while isntalling ubuntu?!
[11:51] <Jack_Sparrow> kling0n: We are saying exactly the same thing...
 How do you install use those scripts? Just do regular suspend or you have to call them from terminal?
[11:52] <kling0n> Jack_Sparrow: that's great :)
[11:52] <Tyczek> Belisarivs, regular :)
[11:52] <Belisarivs> -install +use
[11:52] <kling0n> heh.. just noticed that it wasn't actually you trying to do the recording :)
[11:52] <Tyczek> Belisarivs, i just do apt-get install pm-utils
[11:52] <Jack_Sparrow> kling0n: If he goes with cassette.. he will get a smaller file.  if he goes with cd he may waste some file space but be sure he has not lost anything in translation
[11:52] <kling0n> pardon me :)
[11:52] <Tyczek> and it worked after it
[11:52] <lex> I was wondering when you would lol
[11:53] <kling0n> Jack_Sparrow: true
[11:53] <rich__> youts, how do I enable usb in vmware without rebooting the guest OS.
I wrote it badly. I know how to install them. But I can simply select hibernate from menu and it will work? For now hibernate and suspend doesn't work for me.
[11:53] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[11:53] <dandand> if i want to play "warcraft III" on Ubuntu 7.10, whats the solution WITHOUT "WINE" ?
[11:53] <dandand> beacause it may cause my system freeze
[11:53] <falieson> how do I repair my grub? I installed windoze on a seperate partition which of course destroyed the MBR
[11:54] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub > falieson
[11:54] <Gpalco> Dear mactimes, Ubuntu users, I want to appologize for assuming Ubuntu couldn't work with "0"s in IPs! It works! For some reason it takes a reboot for changes to take place (unlike IPs without "0"). But it works fine now. Thank you VERY much.
[11:54] <falieson> ty
[11:54] <Tyczek> Belisarivs, hm... I juest press suspend from the list
[11:54] <Jack_Sparrow> np
you must use live cd, mount your linux partition, chroot to it and then run "grub-install /dev/hda"
[11:55] <davide> Jack_Sparrow, I guess it could be beacause I installed the command line system first and then gnome... however it's my second ubuntu partition, I won't bother so much, I'll fix it sooner or later. Thank you very much for your help.
[11:56] <Jack_Sparrow> davide: Welcome, let me know what you find out
[11:56] <Xima1> tyzcek.. no luck
[11:56] <davide> Jack_Sparrow, ok!
Got it. Thanks.
[11:57] <Tyczek> Xima1, buuu
[11:57] <tomd> dandand: seeing as how it's not available for linux, your option other than wine is to set up a virtual machine and *maybe* that will work. (but since that is basically using windows, why not just dual boot and play the game)
[11:57] <demitri> hello everyone. i'm having problems SHARING A FOLDER to a WINDOWS computer. can't log-in with my user name & pass nor as ROOT. HELP?
[11:57] <tomd> dandand: i've never had much luck with wine
[11:58] <Belisarivs> I have another issue. I toyed with intel drivers. It disabled direct rendering. No problem, I reinstalled xorg and kernel and rendering work again. But from this time network monitor doesn't display available wireless networks.
[11:59] <Jack_Sparrow> demitri: are you using samba
[11:59] <demitri> yes
[11:59] <Jack_Sparrow> demitri: Setup an account on both machines with same user and password on both
[11:59] <tomd> Belisarivs: when you upgrade the kernel you need to upgrade all your drivers
[11:59] <Belisarivs> demitri>I could suggest ubuntuguide.org, there is article about samba
[12:00] <tomd> Belisarivs: what happens when you do iwconfig <your device>
[12:00] <demitri> but what if i use UNIX
[12:00] <demitri> will it work.?
[12:00] <Jack_Sparrow> demitri: There is also a command called sambapass  or something like that.. but since I dont use Samba, you have reached the limit of my knowledge
[12:00] <johndebow> hi
[12:00] <tomd> Belisarivs: lsmod | grep yourdriver
[12:01] <Jack_Sparrow> demitri: I know the passowrd thing is a connon problem, and that makeing same account seems to work
[12:01] <Jack_Sparrow> common
[12:01] <johndebow> hi, i am making a shell script but it has got to the point where i need to wait for the console to say something before it inputs the next bit of data how would i go about making it wait for an output before it inpts the next set of charaters
[12:01] <moidekar> Jack_Sparrow, demitri : I think you're looking for "smbpasswd"
[12:01] <falieson> Belisarivs: thanks for the quick version
[12:01] <demitri> Jack_Sparrow: ok i try that
[12:02] <Jack_Sparrow> moidekar: thanks...
[12:02] <tomd> johndebow: an output from what?
[12:02] <demitri> moidekar: what would be the OLD PASSWORD..?
[12:02] <Jack_Sparrow> moidekar: Making a note of it now.. would that fix his problem?
do you understand what I meant or need better explanation?
[12:03] <gigamo> Anyone here that can help me with a Sonata/MPD issue? :)
[12:03] <rjune_> Jack_Sparrow, demitri: smb passwords are encrypted with a different mechanism then regular UNIX passwords. for small installations, maintaining a separate user/password database for both is possible. For larger installations, LDAP integration allows you to manage user accounts for both services.
[12:03] <rjune_> demitri: smbpasswd -a <USERNAME>
did you get my messages?
[12:03] <guzer> It might sound an odd question but what would i get from moving from Debian to Ubuntu. I started using Debian pretty randomly really, it was just the first distro I came across by searching and it has worked fine but now I'm seeing that Ubuntu is all the bif linux distro. This is the contxt of my question.
[12:03] <rjune_> that will add the account, if you don't currently have an smb user account setup, you don't have an old password
[12:04] <guzer> bif=big
[12:04] <moidekar> Jack_Sparrow: welcome... demitri : smbpasswd -a user_name to add the user; you will be prompted for password; use same pasword as for that account on the Windows machine
[12:04] <tomd> Belisarivs: ask in the chan
[12:04] <Belisarivs> ok
[12:05] <Peeco> Hi guys, whats the off topic channel??
[12:05] <dgjones> !ot
[12:05] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:05] <Belisarivs> lsmod:   ipw3945               119840  1
[12:05] <gigamo> My problem is this: The volume slider in Sonata does not work. I can slide with the slider (:D) but it doesn't affect the volume. I tried to go into terminal and type "mpc volume 50" but that doesn't work either. The only way I can change volume atm is with the gnome-alsamixer sliders. Anyone?
[12:05] <tomd> besonen_mobile_: ipw3945 is your wifi card driver?
[12:05] <tomd> Belisarivs: ** that is
[12:05] <moidekar> Jack_Sparrow: I expect it would; it has solved similar probs for me in the past :-)
[12:05] <demitri> moidekar: i tried typeing smbpasswd -a demitri but it showed me a list of options.
[12:05] <Jack_Sparrow> guzer: Not an odd question, but not really a support question.  It tends to lead to long discussions and opinions.  It might be better if you asked in our offtopic room #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:05] <tomd> Belisarivs: modprobe <yourdriver>
[12:06] <tomd> (as root)
[12:06] <Belisarivs> tomd: iwconfig displays info about card. Actually wireless works form me. But I have to use wifi-radar. network manager applet doesn't display available networks, though.
[12:07] <moidekar> demitri: Weird, it doesn't ask me anything except for password for the user. You have already added the Linux system account of the same name with useradd (or other util of your choice), right?
[12:07] <xLE> how can i edit a file with the text editor using a command in the terminal?
[12:07] <xLE> its like gedit sudo file
[12:07] <guzer> Jack_Sparrow thanks i will
[12:07] <demitri> moidekar: demitri is my account
[12:07] <Jack_Sparrow> xLE: sudo nano
[12:08] <xLE> not nano.
[12:08] <xLE> the text editor
[12:08] <moidekar> demitri: you are running the smbpasswd as root, right? Sorry, forgot to mention
[12:08] <demitri> moidekar: i'm very new to this by the way
[12:08] <tomd> Belisarivs: what about iwlist <interface> scanning
[12:08] <tomd> Belisarivs: that should do the trick eh?
[12:08] <demitri> moidekar: no
[12:08] <xLE> you don't edit it in the terminal you say the command and it opens the file in the text editor and you can edit it
[12:08] <moidekar> demitri: -a is only avble to root
[12:08] <Jack_Sparrow> xLE: Which text editor?
[12:08] <xLE> gedit
[12:08] <IdleOne> xLE: sudo gedit file
[12:08] <xLE> t
[12:08] <xLE> ty
[12:09] <WooD> Hi guys .. and Good Day !
[12:09] <N> nice day!
[12:09] <johndebow> tomd: an output from console
[12:09] <demitri> moidekar: ok it worked now. the smbpasswd thing
[12:09] <Jack_Sparrow> IdleOne: Please try to use gksudo for gedit
[12:09] <tomd> johndebow: its kind of hard to do that.
[12:09] <demitri> moidekar: now what should i do..? log-in from WINDOWS..?
[12:09] <johndebow> what do u mean ahrd
[12:09] <johndebow> hard
[12:09] <moidekar> demitri: great, now restart the smb service (just for luck) ;-) and try connection from your windows machine...
[12:10] <tomd> johndebow: if you wanted to wait for the output of a specific job you ran in the background, you might be able to do that with a pipe or a file
[12:10] <IdleOne> Jack_Sparrow: yes . xLE for GUI text editor use gksudo gedit file
[12:10] <demitri>  moidekar: and how do i do that..?
It works. But I'like to make it work in nm-applet.
[12:10] <tomd> johndebow: because that would probably involve monitoring a pty or something overly complex. instead of asking how to do this, ask a more general question about how you want to solve your problem
[12:11] <tomd> johndebow: your resources are stdout, pipes, files.
[12:11] <WooD> I have ubuntu with a Nvidia video Driver installed by default, Is this normal that when I click on preview on screen saver of KDE system that I do not get anything on screen ? Do I have to install myself the Open GL ?
[12:11] <johndebow> tomd: so say i made a script that ran a locate on a .txt and then after that i wanted to run another locate on a .jpg i would have to use pipe?
[12:11] <demitri>  moidekar: how do i restart the smb service.?
[12:11] <tomd> johndebow: so as soon as it finds a .txt you want it to find a .jpg?
 /etc/init.d/samba restart
[12:11] <johndebow> kinda yeh
[12:12] <Ikosa> slt ma communauté nux
must be root
[12:12] <moidekar> demitri: /etc/init.d/smb restart should do it; then at your windows machine, try opening a Windows Explorer window

[12:12] <Ikosa> slt à tous donc !
[12:12] <demitri> moidekar: ok done!
[12:12] <johndebow> isit possible
[12:13] <moidekar> demitri: In the Windows Explorer window, type \\machine_name (your Linux system's hostname) or \\IP_Address_of_Linux_machine
[12:13] <WooD> Ikosa, tu seras mieux servi dans le canal #ubuntu-fr
[12:13] <Ikosa> ok ji vais
[12:13] <Ikosa> thx
[12:13] <moidekar> demitri: Anything showing up?
[12:14] <WooD> Does OpenGL is installed by default in Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[12:14] <tomd> johndebow: you could do locate .txt > file & use a loop to check if there is output in the file if so run your next locate command
[12:14] <tomd> johndebow: you could read the file into a variable like this var=`cat file`
[12:14] <moidekar> demitri: you may need to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf (the shares section) to share certain folders from your Linux machine.
[12:14] <tomd> johndebow: although, i don't know the syntax for checking the variable. look it up in info bash
[12:14] <demitri> moidekar: ok hold
[12:15] <demitri> moidekar: it worked.
[12:15] <moidekar> demitri: If you use KDE then I think there is a utility in one of the control panels to graphically set up shares... but I usually edit the conf file :-)
[12:15] <demitri> moidekar: it worked just from the previouse steps you gave me. thnks.
[12:15] <moidekar> OK demitri , glad to know that. Cheers,
[12:15] <demitri> moidekar: thanks !
[12:16] <Shapeshifter> I'm trying to get s2ram working and it suspends fine but after resuming the screen is completely "broken". It just stripes that swirl around if I turn the compiz cube or things like that. Any idea how to fix that? got a gma950 chipset.
[12:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Back to bed...  moidekar.. thanks for the tutorial...   goodnight
[12:17] <l3dx> is there a way to find out which encryption that's used on a phrase?
[12:18] <moidekar> Jack_Sparrow: I'm off, too! you're welcome.. one of the few things I know to do... :-)
[12:24] <kimmey2k3> What can I use to read EXT3 from windows?
[12:25] <|ns|nR8> um
[12:25] <|ns|nR8> i use a program
[12:25] <|ns|nR8> 1 sec ill find its name
[12:25] <kimmey2k3> http://www.fs-driver.org/download.html i found this :)
[12:25] <Daviey> kimmey2k3: google will tell you:)
[12:25] <TeePOG> kimmey2k3: google for ext2ifs
[12:25] <Arcad3> just read or rw?
[12:25] <kimmey2k3> tha was what i was looking for
[12:25] <kimmey2k3> RW ofcourse
[12:25] <dgjones> kimmey2k3, ext2fs normally works fine http://www.fs-driver.org/
[12:25] <TeePOG> it's like a 400kb proggie
[12:25] <TeePOG> it's RW
[12:25] <davide> Jack_Sparrow, I fixed it!!! Yey!!! I was loading the old kernel, now I changed the grub and everything seems to be ok!
[12:26] <gigamo> Any mpd/Sonata experts here, :p
[12:26] <gigamo> ?
[12:26] <demitri> ok i have another problem: i'm trying to install the COMPIZ CONFIG MANAGER but it's not working. HELP.?
[12:26] <dirkson> gigamo: Last I checked, Sonata doesn't work terribly well
[12:26]  * tomd was about to install mpd. it looks AWESOME
[12:26] <kimmey2k3> yes, thanks
[12:27] <gigamo> dirkson, my problem is that changing the volume in sonata doesn't affect my volume :D
[12:27] <tomd> i can imagine a lot of the front-ends are crap, as there always are when a good project requires a frontend.
[12:27] <kimmey2k3> works like a dream
[12:27] <gigamo> the only way I can change it is with the master volume slider in alsamixer
[12:27] <Arcad3> type sudo alsamixer
[12:28] <dirkson> gigamo: Probably a mpd error. Look at /etc/mpd.conf, specifically the alsa section
[12:28] <mattholimeau> question - is there any way to make my desktop invisible for cube rotation without making the icons invisible too?
[12:28] <gigamo> yeah I'm in there now
[12:29] <gigamo> but everything seems commented out
[12:29] <gigamo> every line has # in front
[12:30] <tomd> gigamo: try doing mpc volume +5 from the cli
[12:30] <Atul> Hi I am unble to update the Progress bar GUI in Gtk+ code is here http://pastebin.ca/847960
[12:30] <tomd> gigamo: obv. make sure mpc is installed.
[12:30] <ady_> hey
[12:31] <WooD> Im unable to see KDE screen Saver ... It does not start at all. Is this because I dont have OPENGL install ?
[12:31] <Arcad3> i want to make an email server (webmail,multiple domains) ...witch sistem shall i use ? postfix,exim,mailma????
[12:31] <kling0n> postfix
[12:31] <kling0n> :)
[12:31] <gigamo> tomd: yeah, that worked, but this still only changed my master volume, not the one in sonata :(
[12:32] <kling0n> Arcad3: webmail is a separate issue
[12:32] <tomd> gigamo: what notion of volume do you have?
[12:32] <tomd> gigamo: I am not sure that all linux systems are configured so that individual apps will change the vol. and if you did mpc volume +5, that is likely the volume control supported by mpd.
[12:32] <tomd> gigamo: I am not sure of the details. alsa is complicated
[12:33] <tomd> gigamo: so if volume +5 works, but the slider in alsamixer doesn't work from sonata, thats a bug in sonata
[12:33] <gigamo> hmm
[12:33] <gigamo> wait
[12:33] <gigamo> actually the volume +5 only changes the mpc volume value but also doesn't change the volume in sonata
[12:33] <gigamo> I was wrong about it changing master volume, my master volume stayed the same
[12:34] <tomd> gigamo: when you touch the sonata volume control, is alsamixer affected?
[12:34] <gigamo> nope
[12:34] <gigamo> but
[12:34] <tomd> gigamo: the "sonata volume" you are talking about is probably a slider widget on a gui that doesn't do anything.
[12:34] <gigamo> when I change mpc volume
[12:34] <gigamo> the sonata volume slider is affected
[12:34] <tomd> ooh.
[12:34] <tomd> interesting.
[12:34] <gigamo> but the thing is
[12:34] <gigamo> changing mpc volume doesn't affect my volume :D
[12:34] <gigamo> at all
[12:35] <tomd> gigamo: first lets recognize 1 thing. mpc and sonata are modifying the same volume control: mpd's volume control
[12:35] <gigamo> yep
[12:35] <tomd> gigamo: so when you do +5 on mpc sonata's volume control changes
[12:35] <gigamo> yeah
[12:35] <tomd> gigamo: but alsamixer's does not
[12:35] <gigamo> indeed
[12:36] <tomd> gigamo: what happens when you move the volume control on sonata
[12:36] <gigamo> nothing, except for mpc displaying the same volume that I set in sonata with the slider
[12:37] <tomd> gigamo: so you are modifying a value in mpd, but you *hear* no physical change in the volume from your speakers
[12:37] <gigamo> indeed
[12:37] <tomd> gigamo: this is probably an alsa issue
[12:37] <tomd> gigamo: likely nothing to do with mpd
[12:38] <gigamo> so I'll have to live with it I guess? :p
[12:39] <tomd> gigamo: since i'm not sure how individual apps adjust their volume, I can't offer you a full explanation... I would start by reading about alsa if it bugs you that much
[12:40] <LeGreffi3R> tomd> depends on wich outputs you selected in mpd.conf
[12:41] <gigamo> mkay :) thanks for your help though.
[12:41] <LeGreffi3R> s/output/mixer
[12:41] <gigamo> well
[12:41] <dirkson> gigamo: It's how MPD interfaces with alsa. It uses some volume setting (Probably a PCM) that your sound card does not use.
[12:41] <tomd> gigamo: hey! hes got a point.
[12:41] <gigamo> i haven't actually edited the mpd.conf at all, and as i said, there are many things commented out by default
[12:42] <gigamo> dirkson: when I change pcm volume in alsamixer, my volume does change
[12:42] <dirkson> gigamo: The solution is to figure out which mixer your sound card uses, and set mpd to using it, like LeGreffi3R mentions
[12:42] <gigamo> and how would I go about doing that? :)
[12:42] <dirkson> gigamo: Unfortunately, I don't really know offhand. I manipulate my volume directly : )
[12:43] <majakuko> hola alguien usa el cabletv con el kernel 2.6?
[12:43] <majakuko> gracias
[12:44] <gigamo> "mpd will automatically scan for a usable audio output if no output is specified"
[12:44] <gigamo> aha
[12:44] <tomd> gigamo: what if it picked OSS or something.
[12:44] <gigamo> yep, thats what im guessing
[12:44] <gigamo> i can try uncommenting the sample alsa output, but I don't know what values to put there
[12:45] <gigamo> name, should that be the name of my soundcard like displayed in alsamixer?
[12:47] <tomd> http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Configuration#Audio_Outputs scroll down to alsa mpd software volume control for the exciting conclusion.
[12:47] <tomd> i happen to be setting up mpd myself
[12:48] <elbermungsterses> hello everyone, how do you use GTK themes?
[12:48] <majakuko> somebody knows something  fron cabletv in ubuntu 7.10?
[12:48] <gigamo> tomd:  ALSA MPD software volume control
[12:48] <gigamo> this part?
[12:49] <moonlite> elbermungsterses: do you mean how to change GTK-themes?
[12:49] <elbermungsterses> yes.
[12:49] <moonlite> that would be under System -> Preferences -> Appearance
[12:49] <tomd> gigamo: that would be my best bet there.
[12:49] <tomd> gigamo: im about 95% sure
[12:50] <elbermungsterses> oh yeah, and another problem. I can't install Metacity themes.
[12:51] <moonlite> elbermungsterses: it should suffice to drop the theme on the appearance window
[12:52] <jorgenpt> Anyone had any problems with using SeamlessRDP? I've read every guide I can find, I've set the NoDesktop registry entry to 1, I log off _properly_ before I try to connect, but when I use rdesktop -A -s "C:\\seamlessrdp\\seamlessrdpshell.exe C:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe" <myhost>, I get the full window after I log on (but the desktop is blank like it should be with NoDesktop=1).
[12:52] <elbermungsterses> it says "file format invalid"
[12:52] <gigamo> tomd: slider in sonata still not working :)
[12:52] <gigamo> and mpc volume not either
[12:52] <gigamo> and I did killall mpd && mpd
[12:52] <jorgenpt> (I've talked to people who have it working, they say they get an error with an invalid shell (e.g. -s "SOMETHINGBOGUS") - but I don't get that whatever I specify as -s)
[12:52] <moonlite> elbermungsterses: then he didn't package the theme correctly. You got it from gnomelook?
[12:52] <gregorio_> n problema
[12:53] <gigamo> tomd: I guess I will try rebooting
[12:53] <gigamo> :)
[12:53] <gregorio_> chi mi aaiuta
[12:54] <moonlite> elbermungsterses: anyhow, complain to the theme writer (and visit art.gnome.org instead :))
[12:54] <elbermungsterses> no, I got it from Ubuntu-Art.org.
[12:55] <moonlite> i think perhaps you could try unpacking the archive in ~/.themes
[12:56] <moonlite> it won't come up under appearance as a whole new theme though so youd have to chose "Customize" on an old theme
[12:59] <gigamo> tomd: apparently reboot fixed the sound issue, but now my music library is gone :)
[13:00] <simimi> I'm having a unique issue that I have not had before. For some reason, apparently when I am using ffmpeg to transcode videos, my system shuts down of its own accord. I am guessing it could be from heat but it doesn't feel too hot, and conky does not report the temperature as being too outrageous, well within what is normal operating temperature for my pc methinks. I can not see the reason it shuts down (it flashes to a term since I do not use a splash or q
[13:00] <simimi> uiet kernel options) and I can not see the reason. I also do not see anything under dmesg. Ideas?
[13:00] <tomd> gigamo: probably something you did with the conf file
[13:00] <tomd> gigamo: maybe modified the user specific ~/.mpdconf?
[13:01] <majakuko> who know cabletv for kernel 2.6?
[13:01] <gigamo> I didn't change anything about directory in either of those files afaik :)
[13:01] <tomd> gigamo: in either ever?
[13:01] <tomd> gigamo: I am wondering if the software decided to parse one file or the other based on whether one existed or not, etc
[13:01] <gigamo> nope, they both do display the directory where my music is located when I go look in them though
[13:02] <tomd> gigamo: strange. i am trying to configure my library now
[13:02] <gigamo> but "mpc update" does nothing, and "update library" in sonata not either
[13:02] <gigamo> :)
[13:02] <santosh> hi
[13:02] <santosh> everybody
[13:02] <gigamo> weird though, it had my library in sonata before I rebooted

[13:05] <wers> ikonia, what do I do to thiose files?
[13:05] <ikonia> wers: I had no docs to be certain, but at a guess, I would say running the shell script will drop the module into the kernel tree for you

[13:08] <leagris> simimi, it would be wise to perform a full memtest at boot. Install memtest86+, reboot and select it from the grub menu.
[13:09] <simimi> leagris, and if it memtest can not be completed?
[13:10] <leagris> simimi, that mean one of the memory bank is weak or can't work with the other, or auto settings from the bios don't match.

[13:10] <IndyGunFreak> !antivirus | pawan
[13:10] <ubotu> pawan: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus

[13:12] <leagris> kanzie, language is an item property like any style. You can set language for words, paragraphs, sections, .... Your best choice would be to use stylesheets for mixed language documents.

[13:16] <leagris> kanzie, select all test from the document, then edit style properties from the selected text
[13:16] <simimi> leagris, I'll log out and try it, then return, we will see how it goes

[13:22] <IndyGunFreak> kanzie: so perhaps complaining to the OO.org developers would be better, rather than whining in a linux channel.  You made ths sound like it was a Linux issue.

[13:23] <delliott> Xintruder: Hopefully somebody will be able to answer your question soon.
[13:23] <kanzie> IndyGunFreak: Seems like it
[13:23] <pheebz> how do i fix this
[13:23] <Xintruder> delliott: Please accept my apologies, you and everyone in the room!
[13:23] <leagris> kanzie, menu Format, Character, Font deck just below font style propertie is a language selector
[13:23] <delliott> Xintruder: No need to apologise! I've experienced much harsher comments for repeatedly asking questions on IRC in the past :-/
[13:24] <pheebz> when i open screenlets manager this msg comes up.. "Unable to connect or launch daemon. Some values may be displayed incorrectly."
[13:24] <pheebz> how do i fix this
[13:24] <kanzie> leagris: YES YES YES!!!
[13:24] <IndyGunFreak> !patience | pheebz
[13:24] <ubotu> pheebz: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[13:24] <IndyGunFreak> kanzie: so it wasn't OO, it was you?
[13:24] <kanzie> leagris: Thats the shit I was talking about... why not place that in the Tools - Language menu will forever puzzle me and about 300 000 hits on google
[13:25] <pheebz> didnt know if anyone saw
[13:25] <Xintruder> delliott: well it would annoy me especially if its a multiple line post of text! so I understand. Hopefully I get an answer. Or else I cant show of compiz in college anymore?
[13:25] <hussam> hi everyone ,some PCs on my network is in other language and i can't explore it, so is it a matter of language or network ?
[13:25] <kanzie> IndyGunFreak: Never said it was a bug in OO, but that it is to hard to find and I needed help. That it _is_ possible I knew, which made me so frustrated in not being able to accomplish
[13:25] <Xintruder> hussam: 3arabi?
[13:25] <Pici> kanzie: Please watch the language.  If you feel this passionate about it, how about logging a bug so that the developers know its an issue.
[13:25] <IndyGunFreak> kanzie: just still trying to figure out how this an Ubuntu issue.
[13:26] <delliott> Xintruder: Have you tried to spoof the user agent in Firefox?
[13:26] <Xintruder> delliott: well if spoofing, as in the terms of hacking. no!
[13:26] <Xintruder> How would I do that?
[13:26] <darlord> hi
[13:27] <Xintruder> !hi | darlord
[13:27] <ubotu> darlord: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[13:27] <delliott> Spoofing is not hacking. There are addons for Firefox that let you make Firefox present itself as Internet Explorer.
[13:27] <TeePOG> heh Xintruder, it's not hacking. install "User Agent Switcher" firefox extension
[13:27] <hussam> Xintruder, yeh
[13:27] <delliott> TeePOG: thanks.
[13:27] <darlord> is there a section in ubuntu site announcing the latest updates?
[13:28] <Xintruder> TeePOG: do I install the plug in through the browser or a terminal?
[13:28] <delliott> Browser.
[13:28] <delliott> Click Tools... Add-ons
[13:28] <TeePOG> Xintruder: have you installed any firefox extensions at all before?
[13:28] <delliott> In the bottom of the window that pops up there is a blue underlined text titled "Get Extensions"
[13:29] <Xintruder> u got it delliott, TeePOG i did it the automatic way with those po ups I guess
[13:29] <leagris> Kanzie because language is set up as a character style property. That allow you to mix languague inside paragraphs, just for one word or one sentence. There is no such thing as whole document language AFAIK. BTW you can setup the default document language for 'new' documents in menu Tools/Options/Language settings/Language/Default language for documents.
[13:29] <hussam> Xintruder, yeh it is Arabic
[13:29] <nightstalker> Hello
[13:29] <TeePOG> Xintruder: that's the way
[13:29] <nightstalker> iss there a off topic channel
[13:29] <Xintruder> hussam: I can't read arabic text if its in locally in my ntfs partition!
[13:29] <nightstalker> ??

[13:30] <mark2007> I have a problem with madwifi and my atheros built-in wireless card
[13:30] <nightstalker> Okay thank you
[13:30] <mark2007_> i've got an Atheros AR2413. I've had wireless working a couple of times using ndiswrapper and then using madwifi, but on both occasions wireless has stopped working after being disconnected for the first time.
[13:30] <IndyGunFreak> mark2007_: so use ndiswrapper.
[13:30] <nightstalker> great
[13:31] <mark2007_> IndyGunFreak, ndiswrapper did the same
[13:31] <hussam> Xintruder, I think it is ntfs so there will be no solution ?
[13:31] <mark2007_> IndyGunFreak, hence why I tried madwifi
[13:31] <IndyGunFreak> is this a fairly new chipset?
[13:31] <mark2007_> IndyGunFreak, I don't know how to check. The laptop is only a year old
[13:31] <baca89> hello
[13:31] <IndyGunFreak> hmm.. is it an acer?
[13:32] <baca89> jest ktos z polski??

[13:33] <Xintruder> hussam: I imagine this problem would be relevant to utf-8, I don't know how to relate them though!

[13:37] <IndyGunFreak> th0r: whats that command to scan for wireless networks again?
[13:38] <PLSshowyourhelp> hi , ubotu
[13:38] <d31`home> IndyGunFreak, iwlist scanning ?
[13:38] <IndyGunFreak> its something like that.. he told me yesterday and i forgot to write it down
[13:38] <Genscher> hey :) does anybody know another desktop search application than the one from google? (it doesn't search my home subfolders..)
[13:38] <brobostigon> man iwlist
[13:38] <leagris> simimi, you know now there is a memory issue on your machine. That's what cause it to reboot crash.
[13:38] <mavi-> Genscher: the one that comes default?
[13:39] <simimi> leagris, ahh ok, but I only have 1 GB of memory...hm
[13:39] <mavi-> Genscher: add the deskbar applet and chose the tracker backend
[13:39] <mavi-> Genscher: then alt-f3 to search
[13:39] <mark2007_> My iwlist shows "No scan results"
[13:39] <mavi-> mark2007_: what card do you have?
[13:39] <Genscher> mavi-, ok, will do. Because beagle is completely useless imho :)
[13:39] <mavi-> Genscher: yeah, tracker is a bit faster
[13:40] <Lartza_> how to remove program installed with wine from applications menu?
[13:40] <mark2007_> mavi-, Atheros AR2413 or AR5212... i think officially its AR2413 but 5212 is shown a lot
[13:40] <Genscher> mavi-, also the quality + presentation of the results. Let's try tracker. didn't know if it :)
[13:40] <charlz> hello all, what is the right size for a swap file? i've got 2gb of memory.
[13:40] <leagris> Lartza_, Uninstaller from c_driver/Program Files/Vendorname/Programname Uninstaller should do it
[13:41] <brobostigon> chartz: linux doesnt have a swapfile, it has a swap parition
[13:41] <charlz> ah ok, i mean a swap partition. :)
[13:41] <Lartza_> the program is uninstalled, but applications entry on ubuntu is still there
[13:42] <mavi-> mark2007_: ah, using the OS drivers or the windows ones?
[13:42] <brobostigon> charlz: is you are going to suspend to ram, then the same size as your ram
[13:42] <mavi-> mark2007_: i have -alot- of problems with my atheros
[13:42] <simimi> So what can I do to fix this apparent memory issue that I wasn't aware of?
[13:42] <mark2007_> mavi-, I've tried both madwifi and ndiswrapper, but they both seem to act the same eventually
[13:42] <charlz> ah ok thnx.
[13:42] <simplyubuntu> hey has anybody experienced a plain black screen when switching users in gutsy with desktop effects enabled? i know this was an issue with compiz... anyone?
[13:42] <mavi-> mark2007_: no APs ever found or do the results vary?
[13:43] <mavi-> i dont think user switching works with compiz?
[13:43] <mavi-> simplyubuntu: ^
[13:43] <leagris> charlz, If it is a laptop and like to use suspend, it need quite more than total RAM as swap (2Gb + workingswap, say 3Gb). If it is a desktop 1Gb should be enough for reasonalbe use.
[13:43] <mark2007_> mavi-, when first installed (same for both drivers) it shows my router and i can connect fine. after being disconnected from that router, it no longer shows any of the APs
[13:43] <mavi-> also, suspend hangs some laptops in gutsy
[13:44] <mavi-> mark2007_: tried to down and up the interface?
[13:44] <simplyubuntu> really mavi? so then what am i supposed to do :S? log out everytime?
[13:44] <mavi-> i guess..
[13:44] <mark2007_> mavi-, it used to show 3 or 4 before connecting for the first time
[13:44] <mark2007_> mavi-, i don't know how
[13:44] <Lartza_> how to remove program installed with wine from applications menu? the program is removed, but meny entry stayed
[13:44] <Genscher> mavi-, is there a way to make the search result more appealing/more usefull? (not only filename where the search string appears in but snippet + file path etc) :)
[13:44] <mavi-> Genscher: deskbar is just a frontend, there should be others
[13:44] <Genscher> mavi-, ah, thanks!
[13:44] <mavi-> but i think "tracker frontend" is kinda hard to google up
[13:44] <mavi-> tracker is such a stupid name for software
[13:45] <leagris> Lartza_, if Uninstaller don't remove menu entry. Right click on Application Menu and select Menu Editor.
[13:45] <charlz> thanx leagris.
[13:46] <Lartza_> umm... its doesn't work
[13:46] <Lartza_> maybe because im running ubuntu
[13:46] <Lartza_> it doesnt show all the menu entries
[13:46] <Lartza_> in what file are the menu entries?
[13:47] <manojloviclMVP> Greetings! I have a question regarding syslog-ng and logrotate...
[13:47] <manojloviclMVP> I would like my logs to be rotated every 500 kilo
[13:47] <simimi> leagris,  any idea on how to fix this memory issue, I do not know what it is, I wasn't even aware it was a problem
[13:47] <manojloviclMVP> Or let say every 10 minutes.
[13:47] <leagris> Lartza_, did you try closing the session tnen reentering it. It may have removed the entry from the config without updating notifying Gnome
[13:48] <manojloviclMVP> How can I get syslog-ng / logrotate to do it so?
[13:48] <Lartza_> the program has been removed over two months ago after many restarts
[13:49] <charlz> leagris what gnome apps should you recommend that uses a webcam? example in Instant Messenger.
[13:49] <Lartza_> maybe i try to switch to ubuntu
[13:49] <Lartza_> i have both installed
[13:49] <leagris> simimi, can't help you remotely, if it is a faultly memory module, you can get a replacment one from your vendor. If it is a bios setting mismatch, one can help your remotely. Someone knowing about your bios settings and memory parameters can help. Not an ubuntu ussue btw.
[13:49] <brobostigon> charlz: amsn: ekiga
[13:50] <leagris> charlz, did you try pidgin?
[13:50] <simimi> leagris, well, thanks for everything, I appreciate the help. This is a bit over my head and out of my hands, so I'll hit google and see what I can come up with
[13:51] <brobostigon> leagris: he asked for progs with webcams
[13:51] <charlz> i try but i don't know how to enable the webcam leagris.
[13:52] <charlz> brobos >> is ekiga a free software?
[13:52] <brobostigon> also amsn
[13:52] <brobostigon> charlz: yes
[13:53] <charlz> ok brobos, i'll try the amsn and ekiga. tnx again ppl.. :)
[13:54] <brobostigon> charlz: welcome
[13:54] <Donnn1> hi, folks! i'm confused by the output of 'time -v ls'
[13:55] <LjL> !info ekiga | charlz
[13:55] <ubotu> charlz: ekiga: H.323 and SIP compatible VOIP client. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.11-1ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 5009 kB, installed size 14660 kB
[13:55] <LjL> charlz: if it is in the "main" repository, it's free software
[13:55] <LjL> Donnn1: are you sure "time" has a "-v" option?
[13:55] <Donnn1> well 'man time' shows it does
[13:55] <Andaluz> meep
[13:55] <charlz> tnx ljl
[13:56] <Andaluz> anyone know how to determine screen resolution with xinit?
[13:56] <Donnn1> it should be the same as 'time --verbose' - but it doesn't work
[13:56] <Genscher> humpf, what a sad thing that google desktop search (64bit) doesn't work 100%
[13:56] <ZeeO> hey guys im having issues with compiz I can't start it it says aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
[13:56] <Donnn1> it shows '--verbose command not found' instead :/
[13:56] <ZeeO> I have had loads of issues with my video drives but I think I got htem working now
[13:57] <LjL-Temp> Donnn1: hah... you're right, however there is a catch. if you just type "time", that is an internal bash command. it's help can be brought up by typing "help time". what you see in "man time" is the help for the command /usr/bin/time - if you want to run *that*, you have to type the path explicitly.
[13:57] <IndyGunFreak> d31`home: thanks for the help, just using google, I found a great panel applet for network scanning.

[13:59] <madmax> Hi. I was trying to resize an external drive (which is in FAT32), but gparted isn't allowing me to do it. On the resize/move dialog the size is "locked". Any ideas?
[14:00] <Pici> madmax: Make sure that the drive is unmounted before you attempt to resize it.
[14:00] <madmax> Yes, done that. I'm also running it has root
[14:00] <chazco> madmax - Make sure its unmounted and running as root
[14:00] <chazco> Ah
[14:00] <leagris> madmax, can't resize a mounted partition and plugged USB drives automount. unmount it first I guess.

[14:01] <Pici> !flashissues | _moro_bana_
[14:01] <ubotu> _moro_bana_: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[14:02] <IndyGunFreak> _moro_bana_: the installer is broken right now download the tar file from adove and install it per the instructions, it should work fine.
[14:02] <chazco> _moro_bana_ - You can install manually - just put the .so into ~/.mozillia/plugins
[14:02] <IndyGunFreak> leagris: at least someone got it.

I tried searching online but didnt find any solution!
[14:03] <chazco> _moro_bana_ - Download the .tar.gz'ed version from Adobe... inside theres an installer and a .so file... ignore the installer and just put the .so inside ~/.mozillia/plugins
[14:04] <IndyGunFreak> running the installer is about as difficult as counting to 3, i don't see any reason to ignore it.

[14:10] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/

[14:10] <Bollinger> Can 32 Ubuntu use all 4gb of my memory or do I need to use the 64bit version?
[14:10] <chazco> Just the fix i was given (I need Flash for uni)
[14:11] <Pici> Bollinger: If you user the -server kernel, you can use up to 64gb of RAM, but not any proprietary drivers (no restricted modules package).  Otherwise, you need to use the 64bit version

[14:12] <darlord> hi
[14:12] <Bollinger> Pici: Thank you ;-). Answered my question and then some
[14:12]  * IndyGunFreak thinks.. "So much for being simpler"
[14:12] <Pici> roshan: Why not just use your user's crontab?
[14:12] <IndyGunFreak> chazco: did youg et it figured out.
[14:12] <crzylkfox> hi guys I just did a fresh install and I have a problem dual-booting to windows. Is that something someone could help me with?
[14:12] <darlord> a section on ubuntu site for security announcments?
[14:13] <darlord> like an adreess
[14:13] <Xintruder> hey all
[14:13] <Pici> roshan: just login as your user, and do `crontab -e`
[14:13] <roshan> Pici, tried using that, but that also didnt work!
[14:13] <chazco> IndyGunFreak - Its decidedly simpler than telling a user how to chmod a script to executable and then run it (which shouldnt be a good idea at any rate unless you know how to check the script is safe)
[14:13] <unagi> is there a way to add a link to the gdm that runs a script if i need it to?
[14:13] <_moro_bana_> chazco: done with downloading and extr. from the terminal it says ~/.mozillia/plugins does not exist
[14:13] <roshan> Pici, ya. had done that, but that had no effect. So tried in /etc/crontab
[14:13] <chazco> _moro_bana_ - Ah, you may have to create it, just use Nautilus
[14:14] <Xintruder> how is ubuntu different from debian?
[14:14] <IndyGunFreak> chazco: if you ssay so, its not that hard, and the instructions are right there, and second, you obviously are nuts, as no chmodding is required
[14:14] <chazco> IndyGunFreak - I had to chmod it when I got it...
[14:15] <IndyGunFreak> chazco: then you added a completely unecessary step

[14:16] <crzylkfox> When I try to use the Windows boot option on GRUB, it looks like it is going to work and just goes to a black screen, I looked through several wikis and forums but to no avail. Thanks.
[14:16] <_moro_bana_> chazco: where should i put it
[14:16] <Xintruder> Can I apt-get arabic fonts, this simply?
[14:16] <chazco> _moro_bana_ - You may be better off leaving it now... the way I was told seems to be unpopular, and i dont want to give bad adive
[14:17] <brobostigon> !grub | crzylkfox
[14:17] <charlz> is anyone here knows how to bypass my isp proxy?
[14:17] <roshan> Pici, i even tried using Kcron, but that also didnt work!! any idea why?
[14:17] <ubotu> crzylkfox: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[14:17] <_moro_bana_> chazco: ok, what about gnash
[14:17] <chazco> Never used it i'm afraid
[14:17] <Ballena> is there a way to see when I last shut down the system?
[14:17] <Pici> roshan: You may need to restart the cron service after making changes, did you try doing that?
[14:18] <IndyGunFreak> _moro_bana_: gnash doesn't work with youtube and some other popular flash sites, as far as i know.
[14:18] <brobostigon> correct
[14:18] <expl0it> Hello?
[14:18] <expl0it> May i get support?
[14:18] <roshan> Pici, yup. /etc/init.d/cron stop and then start

[14:19] <expl0it> Reading state information... Done
[14:19] <expl0it> Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

[14:19] <expl0it> or been moved out of Incoming.
[14:19] <IndyGunFreak> expl0it: wht ar eyou doing?
[14:19] <expl0it> Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
[14:19] <expl0it> the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
[14:19] <expl0it> that package should be filed.

[14:38] <expl0it> How do i see my system specs, to find my video driver model
[14:38] <Jack_Sparrow> expl0it: before you go to too much trouble, I might suggest you look up what protgams run under wine and how well they perform.
[14:38] <IndyGunFreak> stmartin: ar eyou using gutsy?... it set up read/write for me automatically
[14:39] <stmartin> I don't know what I am using, I am 100% newbie
[14:39] <LeviathNL> I have a problem with my exit-applet (gnome), it does an instant log off instead of giving me several options. Can anyone tell me where to start looking for the cause of this?
[14:39] <expl0it> I used Wine before.

[14:41] <Pici> IndyGunFreak: People dont know that pasting is bad, can you please cut it out with the remarks about it?
[14:41] <IndyGunFreak> stmartin: you didn't need to do that, all you had tos ay was, "I'm using 6.06
[14:41] <stmartin> I receive this error
[14:41] <IndyGunFreak> Pici: i just find it pretty absurd that common sense doesnt tell someone not to paste multiple lines in a channel w/ 1200 people, thats all.

[14:41] <stmartin> error: could not execute pmount
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> stmartin: To view/read your drives with that release I would suggest a script called diskmounter..
[14:42] <Belisarivs> Ha. Got it. To be able to use Musicbrainz on Amarok, you need to install libtunepimp5-mp3. Perhaps it should be set as suggested package to amarok.
[14:43] <stmartin> Ok, now I see tham
[14:43] <stmartin> thanks
[14:43] <Xintrude1> ok I crashed again... Where is a log file containing what may have caused the crash is?
[14:43] <Pici> IndyGunFreak: I dont have issues with your views on the matter, I'd just like you to stop making remarks about it, okay?
[14:43] <IndyGunFreak> whatever
[14:43] <IndyGunFreak> can i laugh?
[14:44] <LjL> Belisarivs: well no, that's only to be able to use it *with mp3 files*. for other, non-patent-encumbered, types of files, libtunepimp5 is a dependency
[14:44] <expl0it> How Do I install beryl?
[14:44] <LjL> Pici, IndyGunFreak, -ops
[14:44] <stmartin> are they read-only?
[14:44] <LjL> !beryl > expl0it    (expl0it, see the private message from Ubotu)
[14:44] <IndyGunFreak> beryl is no longer you, were told that.
[14:45] <Xintrude1> guys, compiz caused ubuntu to crash. i have crash saver enabled, where can i see the log file?
[14:45] <inflex> How can I turn off the CDROM auto-detection system in Ubuntu?
[14:45] <inflex> (it's racing with vmware when I'm trying to setup something in a vmware OS)
[14:45] <stmartin> they are read-only
[14:45] <stmartin> how I can paste something in them?
[14:46] <elkbuntu> IndyGunFreak, please make your way to -ops
[14:46] <Jack_Sparrow> !ntfs-3g to enable write on windows drives for Dapper
[14:46] <Jack_Sparrow> stmartin: use ntfs-3g to enable write on windows drives for Dapper
[14:46] <stmartin> but how?
[14:46] <IndyGunFreak> or use feisty
[14:47] <stmartin> can somebody gives me instructions?
[14:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !ntfs-3g
[14:47] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
 but how will those who don't live in USA (for example) deal with it? It isn't installed automatically as support for mp3.
[14:47] <stmartin> ok thanks
[14:47] <Jeriath> anyone use linuxDC++
[14:47] <Jack_Sparrow> stmartin: If you have a question about the instructions .. please feel free to ask
[14:48] <stmartin> ok
[14:48] <stmartin> thanks
[14:48] <ikonia> Jeriath: do you mean the compiler or the torrent client
[14:48] <Jeriath> the torrent client
[14:48] <ikonia> Jeriath: in that case no
[14:49] <LjL> Belisarivs, you might want to file a bug because of the fact it's not automatically installed when you install mp3 support. on kubuntu at least, i think it should.
[14:49] <Belisarivs>  then.
[14:49] <Belisarivs> OK then
[14:49] <stmartin> where to find ntfs-config package?
[14:49] <stmartin> there is nothing in Applications → System Tools → NTFS Configuration Tool
[14:50] <ikonia> stmartin: I'm not aware of any package called that
[14:50] <smartboyathome> what is the command for running swat
[14:50] <ikonia> smartboyathome: it's launched from inetd/xinetd
[14:50] <catstark> anyone have a recommendation for something besides Pidgin - Pidgin gives me this werid error where I have to disable/enable all my accounts each time
[14:50] <ikonia> smartboyathome: so you browse to it in a browser
[14:50] <bazhang> !info ntfs-3g
[14:50] <ubotu> ntfs-3g: read-write NTFS driver for FUSE. In component main, is standard. Version 1:1.913-2ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 23 kB, installed size 116 kB
[14:50] <LjL> stdin: i don't know about that package specifically, but « dpkg -L ntfs-config | grep bin » will most likely give you the name of the executable(s) provided by the package

[15:09] <LjL> stmartin: from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions : Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and 6.10 came with older, beta versions of the NTFS 3G driver. These worked well for many users but were not guaranteed to be stable. Use Ubuntu 7.04 for stable access to NTFS partitions. Alternatively, a stable version of NTFS 3G for older versions of Ubuntu can be obtained from a third-party software repository - see using a third-party NTFS 3G.
