[20:29] <hendrixski> SpaminaCan, yeah, defrag isn't required on solid operating systems like Mac and Linux
[20:29] <lgc> SpaminaCan, you must be doing something wrong.
[20:29] <axscode> click install
[20:29] <th0r> crazyduck2 you need to end the file rc.local with a carriage return
[20:29] <SpaminaCan> Fiesty gutsy HATES my laptop lol
[20:30] <th0r> crazyduck2 all scripts need to end on a blank line
[20:30] <SpaminaCan> i mean can i format my windows fat 32 partition from linux....***
[20:30] <Yv12345vY> Nrbelex2, if you have a Windows driver you just use ndiswrapper to point it to that driver, should be pretty straight forward.  Have you tried ndisgtk?
[20:30] <ajmal> how can i install corel draw 9. i am using ubuntu 7.04
[20:30] <crazyduck2> How would I edit it. VI and NANO won't even let me into it?
[20:30] <SpaminaCan> wifi, sound, my mouse all do not work in Gutsy but perfectly in Fiesty
[20:30] <SpaminaCan> ^_^
[20:30] <zenobius> hendrixski: OS has nothing to do with it....its about he filesystem and how data is written to the disk
[20:30] <axscode> ajmal join #ubuntu
[20:30] <lgc> SpaminaCan, yes, of course.
[20:30] <Nrbelex2> Yv12345vY, I'll give it a try, thanks
[20:30] <hendrixski> crazyduck2, and you haven't done anything, over those 4 months, that could have triggered this,  like accidently rewrite something in an /etc file
[20:30] <zenobius> hendrixski: but i can see how you would see that to be a OSthing
[20:30] <buzz-cp> does anyone know how to display special characters? see pic: http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/1430/weirdcharswy0.jpg
[20:31] <SpaminaCan> why does Gutsy hate me so much lol
[20:31] <ajmal> i have joined but no body help me axscode:
[20:31] <elde1> Everytime i open Tremulous or Warsow to play it. it goes to a black screen, i have audio... but can see nothing.
[20:31] <zenobius> SpaminaCan: because gutsy is buggy still
[20:31] <Yv12345vY> SpaminaCan, Gutsy hates me too but I like it anyways.
[20:31] <hendrixski> zenobius, *sigh.  but some operating systems use good filesystems, some operating systems are restricted to using crappy filesystems.
[20:31] <axscode> you have to wait..
[20:31] <pike_> SpaminaCan: you probably are in the dir id bet a umount -l /mountpoint would work but id make sure you arent in the dir
[20:31] <axscode> ajmal, is that corel for linux?
[20:31] <krazytekn0> axscode you realize he's here already and you're talking to him in this channel
[20:31] <krazytekn0> ??
[20:31] <brobostigon> gutsy is working ok for me, and i have a mac, an unsupported
[20:32] <SpaminaCan> i like gutsy but so much does not work..., why was it made a release if its so buggy?, and i tried umount.... still spins.......
[20:32] <crazyduck2> hendrixski, so sudo gedit /etc/rc.local/ and see if I can get in and just enter another blank line?
[20:32] <pike_> SpaminaCan: you tried lazy umount?
[20:32] <corinth> Yv12345vY: I only see "Enable networking", which is ticked
[20:32] <zenobius> SpaminaCan: so you can report bugs
[20:32] <buzz-cp> anyone know how to display special characters? http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/1430/weirdcharswy0.jpg
[20:32] <Nrbelex2> Yv12345vY, where is ndisgtk?
[20:32] <SpaminaCan> zenobius, i thought that was what the tribe releases was for?
[20:32] <krazytekn0> SpaminaCan, This is how ubuntu works, you want rock like stability use the latest LTS release instead of the latest testing release
[20:32] <SpaminaCan> i mean heck i mute my sound in gutsy and it still plays lol......
[20:32] <th0r> crazyduck2 you should be able to just delete it...a quote from my rc.local....# By default this script does nothing.
[20:32] <Yv12345vY> corinth, but does your friend have it?  You said it was another machine.
[20:32] <zenobius> SpaminaCan: and provide your input and suggestions...which you would have a hard time doing with and seeing hte results of with windows
[20:33] <hendrixski> crazyduck2, if it's in one of those rc files then it's out of my league.  I've not learned anything about them.  But if the error points you there, make sure you back everything up before you change it
[20:33] <corinth> Yv12345vY: Yeah, but he's right next to me.
[20:33] <SpaminaCan> *grins at vista*
[20:33] <hendrixski> if it doesn't work then reset it to the backup
[20:33] <glb10> hello everybody
[20:33] <SpaminaCan> one of my friends is a developer for ms and help coded vista....
[20:33] <th0r> crazyduck2 in a terminal type 'cat /etc/rc.local' and see what the file says
[20:33] <Yv12345vY> corinth, just making sure :-) What kind of a machine is it?
[20:33] <Yv12345vY> Nrbelex2, sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
[20:33] <Eyemean> hi i got an unusual problem , firefox went mental one time so i uninstalled it then reinstalled and was fine. now for some reason when i seelct bookmarks tab it just comes up as a blank tab
[20:34] <krazytekn0> ajmal so are you having problems installing corel draw because I don't see any question in "I want to install corel draw"
[20:34] <stevie> i find the ntfs3g driver pretty slow compared to native windows speed. is it supposed to be slower or do i maybe haven an issue?
[20:34] <zenobius> SpaminaCan: how does he fell?
[20:34] <corinth> It's a desktop pc, running gutsy
[20:34] <glb10> is there someone that can help me with a bluetooth key
[20:34] <Eyemean> but i know they are there, cause wen i got to organize its there
[20:34] <SpaminaCan> zenobius, he uses windows xp still :)
[20:34] <zenobius> SpaminaCan: kek......
[20:34] <zenobius> SpaminaCan: thats saying something
[20:34] <corinth> Yv12345vY:  We can SEE the wireless network I thing, just not connect. Lol.
[20:34] <hendrixski> anyway, before zenobius corrects me on a few more facts, I gotta get back to work
[20:34] <hendrixski> later
[20:34] <Nrbelex2> Yv12345vY, couldn't find it
[20:34] <zenobius> SpaminaCan: can you ask him a question>
[20:35] <Eyemean> do i need to uninstall forfox or can i tell gutsy to just reinstall straight away/
[20:35] <Eyemean> ?
[20:35] <SpaminaCan> if i remember :)
[20:35] <zenobius> zenobius: tool late you actualy need to get a coffee
[20:35] <Nrbelex2> So how do I do it through the terminal, Yv12345vY? Is there a guide for Ubuntu?
[20:35] <Yv12345vY> corinth, I have a problem sometimes connecting to a known wireless network, I usually select another network and then go back to the one I want to connect to.  Can you try that?
[20:35] <Yv12345vY> Nrbelex2, try sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
[20:35] <zenobius> SpaminaCan: ask him if xp has better or wrse networking code than win2000
[20:35] <Nrbelex2> Yv12345vY, I don't have an internet connection...
[20:36] <glb10>  is there anyone that can help me with a bluetooth key

[20:41] <corinth> Yv12345vY: We tried to connect to one of the other networks, wouldn't connect to any.
[20:41] <ikonia> krazytekn0: it is, becuase your staring out a bad word, try "not using the word"
[20:41] <cornixx> I don't like IRC on Pidgin
[20:41] <zenobius> cornixx: xchat-gnome

[20:43] <pike_> MikeH: use unrar not unrar-free
[20:43] <zenobius> MikeH: right click the rar file
[20:43] <ikonia> krazytekn0: I don't like getting offended at things, but I also don't appriciate uncalled for swearing or "pretend swearing"
[20:43] <glb10> please is there anyone can help me with bluetooth

[20:44] <bob__> ikonia: Jack here... :)  Have any luck with dlink routers?
[20:44] <Seveas> krazytekn0, ***** isn't censoring. Behave.
[20:44] <zenobius> ikonia is a bastion of good behaviour, respect that
[20:44] <Yv> Nrbelex2, also, have you tried going to System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager?  I got my wireless driver installed that way.
[20:45] <ikonia> bob__: dlink routers ?
[20:45] <bob__> yep
[20:45] <glb10> pike_ i ve onlt to install it?
[20:45] <Nrbelex2> Yv, yes, nothing needed :-(
[20:45] <ikonia> bob__: should I be doing something with them ?
[20:45] <co0lingFir3> i have a problem with ALSA since it does not select the proper track (http://img36.picoodle.com/img/img36/4/1/2/f_Unbenanntm_829d0c8.jpg)

[20:45] <Nrbelex2> but I can't find the fwcutter package
[20:45] <glb10> i've already see it

[20:46] <Yv> sounds like bcm43xx-fwcutter is good
[20:46] <Nrbelex2> Seveas, Yv, the package isn't on my system... wtf?
[20:46] <ikonia> bob__: ok, so what's the deal, you can connect through a modem but not the router ?
[20:46] <Yv> IKE, you plug it into the USB port and should work from there.
[20:46] <brobostigon> ike: just plug it in
[20:46] <olaff> whats the score with sharing files in a dual boot scenario?
[20:46] <ikonia> !wtf > yv

[20:47] <bob__> yep.. really odd.. I cannot 192.168.0,1 into it either.
[20:47] <Seveas> Nrbelex2, best idea is to hook up a wired conenction temporarily to install it
[20:47] <Yv> Nrbelex2, you have to download it
[20:47] <ikonia> bob__: are you sure the router is using address range of 192 ?
[20:47] <bob__> other computers can get through just not this new one
[20:47] <ikonia> bob__: do you  get a dhcp address from it when you plug it in ?
[20:47] <glb10> pike_i ve already done it
[20:47] <Nrbelex2> Seveas, Yv, argh, I'll try, thanks
[20:47] <zenobius> olaff: the score is, you jigg on down to the groove master max at help.ubuntu.com/community and do a search for ntfs3g or fat32
[20:47] <ikonia> bob__: are you using cable or wirless
[20:47] <bob__> direct connect
[20:48] <bob__> no dhcp no irc nothing
[20:48] <yereth> hi guys
[20:48] <zenobius> IKE: try this
[20:48] <ikonia> bob__: so if you don't have dhcp requests running, how are you getting an IP ?
[20:48] <ikonia> bob__: are the other clients getting ip's from dhcp ?
[20:48] <zenobius> IKE : ope na term, and pplug in you r drive

[20:49] <IKE> too many typos

[20:49] <IKE> aterm?
[20:49] <Yv> IKE, what kind of a hard drive is it?  Could it be an NTFS drive that you had running on Windows?

[20:49] <IKE> fat

[20:49] <ikonia> bob__: I guess that's what you've got to check
[20:49] <yereth> can barely read the menus not with the light-grey fonts.. any idea of where I could change that?
[20:49] <zenobius> IKE: open a terminal.
[20:49] <Dagaka>  newbie, best try something like PartPE: http://www.rlslog.net/
[20:49] <ikonia> bob__: or it's the things I'd be checking

[20:50] <yereth> I mean, system wide in KDE
[20:50] <zenobius> IKE: do it again
[20:50] <zenobius> IKE : and again
[20:50] <yereth> echosa: because it wants you to start using Amarok ;
[20:51] <yereth> ;)
[20:51] <IKE> same after 2 times
[20:51] <Yv> IKE, type in dmesg and see what the last few lines say
[20:51] <ompaul> !paste | IKE
[20:51] <krazytekn0> (waiting for someone to lynch IKE for pasting 3 lines)

[20:51] <echosa> yereth: nice try ;)
[20:51]  * yereth <- innocent
[20:51] <krazytekn0> oh, ompaul hit it!
[20:51] <yereth> but seriously, anyone?
[20:51]  * echosa doubts that ;)
[20:51] <yereth> where do I change font colour if menu fonts in KDE show up really light?
[20:52] <glb10> Yv could you help me? I have a problem with a bluetooth key
[20:52] <zenobius> IKE: mmm for that to work for me, means my usb is on its way out
[20:53] <kevo_tool> Has anyone had crackling sound problems with Ubuntu?
[20:53] <IKE> what?
[20:53] <IKE> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50531/
[20:53] <krazytekn0> glb10 have you even asked your question yet?
[20:53] <Seveas> kevo_tool, only when I play weird metal songs. Could be the music though
[20:53] <zenobius> IKE ,when i do the first lsub i hear my ipod whir up, then i do the second and i see my ipoid in lsusb
[20:53] <IKE> not for me
[20:53] <zenobius> IKE: shortly after it shows on desktop
[20:53] <Yv12345vY> glb10, sorry man, I barely use bluetooth
[20:54] <zenobius> IKE: ok next thing is to see about getting tuuid to be used to automount it
[20:54] <zenobius> IKE uuid*
[20:54] <IKE> what?
[20:54] <glb10> krazytekno I ve asked a question to you before
[20:54] <Seveas> kevo_tool, you may lose crackling whe you mute unneeded channels in alsamixer (m is the mute key)
[20:54] <zenobius> IKE uuid is like a unique id for the drive
[20:54] <IKE> sudo apt-get install uuid?
[20:54] <zenobius> IKe there is a page on wiki, but i think other avenues should be explored before you do that
[20:54] <zenobius> IKE no
[20:54] <jobe> hi, i messed up my xorg.conf file ad now i cant boot x server gui.   i mesed
[20:55] <zenobius> IKE its to do with things like fuser mount autofs and the fstab
[20:55] <krazytekn0> glb10 you asked me if I could help, but have you actually told this channel your problem yet?
[20:55] <Seveas> jobe, then put your backup back
[20:55] <jobe> i cant get to the terminal either whic i my big problem
[20:55] <krazytekn0> if you'd post your problem then maybe someone will figure it out
[20:55] <dublpaws> jobe are you using nvidia drivers?
[20:55] <jobe> ati
[20:55] <kevo_tool> Seveas: Only Front is unmuted.
[20:55] <krazytekn0> glb10 instead of "can someone help me"
[20:55] <echosa> jobe: why can't you get into a terminal?
[20:55] <IKE> what?
[20:55] <glb10> krazytekno  yes 3 or 4 times
[20:55] <ompaul> !nickspam > DreamThief (please get your client to log on as the nick you want to use in #ubuntu thanks)
[20:55] <Seveas> kevo_tool, pastebin the output of amixer
[20:55] <IKE> bash: fstab: command not found
[20:55] <jobe> if i can get to terminal i know how to fixit :S  i dont know why
[20:56] <eetfunk> i have a ubuntu server that's always freezing and i don't know why.  Is there a way for me to easily figure this out?
[20:56] <echosa> jobe: waht happens when you boot?
[20:56] <Yv12345vY> IKE, that's b/c fstab isn't a command
[20:56] <glb10> Krazytekno but nobody replayed me
[20:56] <th0r> jobe you can't boot into safe mode?
[20:56] <Seveas> eetfunk, look at /var/log/kern.log /var/log/messages etc
[20:56] <jobe> brb, gonna go get the exact readout where it freezes
[20:56] <jobe> at neighbours house :P
[20:56] <ompaul> glb10, now you have some attention please ask again
 IKE its to do with things like fuser mount autofs and the fstab
[20:56] <IKE> then can you translate what he said?
[20:56] <krazytekn0> glb10 well I don't see anywhere where you actually said what's going on with your bluetooth so it must have been before I got here, please let me know what's going on
[20:57] <glb10> ompaul i have a problem with a bluetooth key
[20:57] <Yv12345vY> IKE, he's saying your problem is complicated
[20:57] <corinth> Yv: Yeah, I know the passwords.
[20:57] <IKE> well can someone use remote desktop or something?
[20:57] <newbie> I would like to know if it is possible to make my current ubuntu installation as I have it configured into a live DVD?
[20:57] <ompaul> IKE, that is a very bad idea some random stranger then takes control of your machine
[20:57] <Yv12345vY> jobe, when you're booting, try going through the recovery option in GRUB which will dump you at command prompt as root
[20:57] <glb10> krazytekno I have a problem with a bluetooth key
[20:57] <krazytekn0> glb10 what is the problem with the bluetooth key, we're not psychic!
[20:58] <ompaul> and you don't know them from adam
[20:58] <kevo_tool> Seveas: http://pastebin.com/d2c2fdfb4
[20:58] <IKE> not if i set it for confirmation only
[20:58] <Guilty> Guys i need to get ubuntu linux but my download is so slow i wanna order it but i live in lebanon and in unknown side of lebanon so any ideas ??????

[20:58] <IKE> wait
[20:58] <Xera> I have a Realtek HD audio on board sound card.. how do I get it working in Ubuntu? I'm not sure but I think the sound might just be really really quiet
[20:58] <silent_> I'm trying to boot off a usb, but my motherboard isn't detecting the boot sector correctly. I can boot by using the livecd 'boot from first disk' option. Does anyone know of a way to create a cd to exist permanently to jumpstart my usb stick?
[20:58] <IKE> be paitent
[20:58] <floatingredwagon> Hello everyone.  Just tried to install ubuntu, install appeared to go fine... Reboot, and it tells me "Cannot load Operating System".  Anyone have any ideas on what went wrong, and how to fix it?

[20:58] <Guilty> k
[20:59] <ikonia> floatingredwagon someone was having a simlar issue earlier
[20:59] <shadowhywind_> floatingredwagon your grub is messed up
[20:59] <glb10> krazytekno it said me that there is an error somewhere
[20:59] <whitehat> any idea why I am unable to run network-admin even though I supply root pass
[20:59] <ikonia> floatingredwagon: what machine is this on
[20:59] <cliebow> floyou might try tooo boot from live cd and check grub
[20:59] <floatingredwagon> custom box, Asus A8N32-SLI mobo, AMD FX processor.
[20:59] <ompaul> glb10, I know very little about bluetooth, however I know some resources
[20:59] <ikonia> whitehat: define unable to run, you've been in hear all day repearing that
[20:59] <ompaul> !bluetooth | glb10
[20:59] <krazytekn0> ok, glb10, I'm really trying but "it told me there is an error somewhere" is not enough to work on
[20:59] <ubotu> glb10: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[20:59] <ikonia> floatingredwagon: are you installing to any raid disks ?
[20:59] <jtholmes> can anyone tell me how i find out who in the Ubuntu org is responsible for gdm
[21:00] <floatingredwagon> ikonia: No raid.  Single SATA 500GB drive.
[21:00] <ikonia> jtholmes: look up the package on launchpad
[21:00] <zenobius> IKE is the HDD a usb device?
[21:00] <bense> what's a good graphical ftp client other than gftp anyone?
[21:00] <glb10> krazytekno now i write you the error
[21:00] <Xera> Hmm yeah, the volume is really really low even with it set to 100% in the volume control
[21:00] <IKE> yes
[21:00] <cliebow> jtholmes, jorge castro is upsteam liaison
[21:00] <ikonia> floatingredwagon: what I did with the other guy is check where the installer has got to. I suggest booting from the cdrom and mounting the disk manually to see what's on it
[21:00] <krazytekn0> bense almost any file manager is an FTP client
[21:00] <whitehat> ikonia: says "the configuration could not be loaded" "you are now allowed to access the system configuration"
[21:01] <jtholmes> cliebow how do i contact jorge castro
[21:01] <ikonia> whitehat: when you do in the terminal "sudo apt-get update" and it asks you for a password, does it then work
[21:01] <jtholmes> his email i mean
[21:01] <glb10> krzytekno programmation error...in the list
[21:01] <zenobius> hope noone asks how to mount an iphone

[21:01] <Yv12345vY> haha
[21:01] <Yv12345vY> zenobius, are you offering help??
[21:01] <Yv12345vY> kidding!
[21:01] <jdh6403> lol
[21:02] <floatingredwagon> ikonia: I think i was going for that same idea.  I'm in rescue terminal, opened a shell on the partition.  ls shows an expected root directory.
[21:02] <whitehat> ikonia: I don't have internet access on the laptop.trying to config wireless.but yes sudo does ask for password
[21:02] <cliebow> jtholmes, he is logged in #ltsp..otherwise launchpad
[21:02] <IKE> zenobius,  it is a usb why?
[21:02] <kevo_tool> Seveas: http://pastebin.com/d2c2fdfb4 (in case you missed the first one)
[21:02] <jdh6403> i have this toaster zenobius........and it wont accept sudo
[21:02] <ikonia> floatingredwagon: so it looks like grub's not installed if you have a full install on the disks
[21:02] <glb10> krazytekno could you help me
[21:02] <jtholmes> cliebow, thanks
[21:02] <ikonia> (which is good news)
[21:02] <cliebow> 8~)
[21:02] <ikonia> whitehat: and does it accept the pasword you give it
[21:02] <zenobius> IKE do you see your device in the out put of dmesg
[21:02] <whitehat> ikonia: yes
[21:02] <floatingredwagon> ikonia: Good to hear.  How can i fix the Grub setup?

[21:07] <Ryuki> how do I force install it?
[21:07] <Flannel> buzz-cp: That's gnome terminal, right?  Go to the gnome-terminal options and I imagine there ought to be some option for character encoding.  I'm unsure as to where it is though.

[21:08] <ikonia> floatingredwagon: ok
[21:08] <Ryuki> But I need to install winetool
[21:08] <floatingredwagon> ikonia: This is going to sound really newbish, but... AMD FX chips DO support a 64 bit os....... right?

[21:11] <IKE> zenobius, any other ideas?
[21:11] <Ryuki> ok how do I remove YIM anyways? Anybody?
[21:11] <floatingredwagon> ikonia: Just got another idea.  My system is a minefield of MBR's... I have a few physical drives, and more than one of them hosts an MBR (can't format them currently, critical data).  Let me disconnect all but one physical.
[21:11] <ompaul> !nickspam > tuxxxinator  (please get your client to log on as the nick you want to use in #ubuntu thanks)

[21:12]  * ADminS is away: Arza3 ya SOPHOS and SAF
[21:12] <ikonia> floatingredwagon: grub works off the menu.lst file on a partition

[21:12] <DanB> cant get  tvu player to install
[21:12] <floatingredwagon> ikonia: Ok.  Won't do that for now.
[21:12] <ikonia> floatingredwagon: what has most probably happened is grub has installed to the wrong disks boot sector
[21:12] <ikonia> floatingredwagon: a quick way to test is boot and interupt the boot and use the bios to test boot of each disk
[21:12] <zenobius> IKe : looking for a post i saw the other day
[21:13] <floatingredwagon> ikonia: F7 during boot with that mobo, right?
[21:13] <jobe> ok, after it tells me it cant go to x server and i so no to showing me output.  i get this... which is normal.

[21:14] <ikonia> floatingredwagon: super, ok thats a good start
[21:14] <Nrbelex2> juliank, 7.10
[21:15] <ikonia> floatingredwagon: so you just need to follow the guide ompaul gave you but install to the correct disk
[21:15] <Ryuki> I'm running Xubuntu
[21:15] <Ryuki> 7.10
[21:15] <ompaul> !grub | floatingredwagon
[21:15] <ubotu> floatingredwagon: 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
[21:15] <Ryuki> Gah, sorry.
[21:15] <Ryuki> !force rpm
[21:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about force rpm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:16] <Dagaka> !alien
[21:16] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[21:16] <ompaul> Ryuki, you were told - so I guess you need to read it ^^ see that RPM item
[21:16] <jobe> so does anyone know a way i can get to terminal then? if i have the ubuntu cd
[21:16] <Ryuki> oh never mind.
[21:16] <Ttech> anyoen?
[21:16] <ikonia> jobe: boot from the cd
[21:16] <Ryuki> Umm.. then how do I uninstall YIM from wine?
[21:16] <juliank> Nrbelex2: It should work.  Is the driver listed in the output of 'ndiswrapper -l'?
[21:17] <Ryuki> I cannot go in C: and delete stuff.
[21:17] <ikonia> Ttech: repeating "anyone" won't get you anywhere, if someone saw the question and knows the answer they willl respond, if they missed the question then saying "anyone" won't tell them the question
[21:17] <jobe> ikonia, i cant get to terminal for myself. shows ubuntu@ubuntu# or something
[21:17] <Nrbelex2> juliank, no nothing comes up
[21:17] <jobe> and i cat mount my drive on live cd
[21:17] <echosa> jobe: can you not boot into safe mode? or alternatively, can you not use ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a terminal?
[21:17] <ikonia> jobe: that's because thats your livecd user
[21:17] <ikonia> jobe: what happens when you try to mount your cdrom
[21:17] <ikonia> jobe: sorry your disk
[21:18] <Ttech> ikonia, yeesh. You were asking what it was I said and nothing.
[21:18] <jobe> just says unable to mount
[21:18] <ikonia> Ttech: I don't know the flash plugins
[21:18] <ikonia> jobe: it must say more than that
[21:18] <juliank> Nrbelex2: Are there spaces in the path of the driver?
[21:18] <jobe> hmmm.ctrl alt f1?
[21:18]  * Ryuki waits.
[21:18] <jobe> when do i pres that during boot?
[21:18] <aztechclan> sup guys!  any compiz-fusion junkies out there?  I seem to have lost my emerald-themes in gusty, and apt can't find the package anymore?  Was working fine in the past until one day I used metacity.
[21:18] <Ttech> ikonia, its not a flash plugin it integrates features iwth Firefox
[21:18] <ikonia> Ttech: sorry firefox plugin, I've never used it
[21:19] <echosa> jobe: no, after you're computer boots and everything is done loading
[21:19] <crdlb> aztechclan: there is no emerald-themes package in gutsy
[21:19] <tribaldata> !tty | jobe
[21:19] <ubotu> jobe: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login).  To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution.
[21:19] <floatingredwagon> ikonia: I may need a little hand holding to move Grub.  Can I PM you so we don't spam the channel?
[21:19] <Nrbelex2> juliank, not sure what you mean - I'm just browsing to the .inf using the GUI
[21:19] <zenobius> wow so glad i got a ipod video 30gb and not those new nuetered things that need jailbreak
[21:19] <jobe> echosa it doesnt load. x server doesnt load, and then it hangs on boot (doesnt take me to terminal)
[21:19] <aztechclan> crdlb: so I have emerald installed, but it doesn't display the window decorator (and no errors)
[21:19] <ikonia> floatingredwagon: yeah sure
[21:20] <crdlb> aztechclan: nvidia?
[21:20] <tomg_> hi, i get random lockups with ubuntu, only responds to a sysrq, i suspect its the intel xorg driver, but dont know how to debug....
[21:20] <ikonia> floatingredwagon: you've been more than patient and polite
[21:20] <aztechclan> crdlb: yep
[21:20] <echosa> jobe: you don't have to get in a terminal, per se.. when you say "hangs on boot" do you mean the entire computer freezes and nothing responds (keyboard, mouse, etc)
[21:20] <crdlb> aztechclan: join #compiz-fusion for a second please
[21:20] <cliebow> ikonia:as have you 8~)_

[21:21] <macd> vee_, yes, its an lcd tv.
[21:21] <zenobius> vee_: yes
[21:22] <jobe> echosa, no it shows a flashing line like its loading something. but doesnt except any input from me if you know what i mean
[21:22] <vee_> macd its not a tv but a 24" monitor
[21:22] <vee_> has to inputs
[21:22] <zenobius> vee_: is it your secondary screen?
[21:22] <tomg_> anyone?
[21:22] <Nrbelex2> juliank, not sure what you mean, I took this driver off the included CD and put it in a folder in my home folder
[21:22] <echosa> try booting into safe mode
[21:22] <vee_> for one computer but first for another
[21:22] <macd> vee_, chances are your video output is not compatible at a resolution it supports until later in the boot process, its totally normal.

[21:23] <okeefenokee> Hi folks. I have a brand new installation of Gusty, and try to get my wlan up and running. Each and every time I configure the network settings (with the essid, wep-key, and so on) my system freezes. It kinda bugs me...and I don't really know where to start troubleshooting.
[21:23] <sparkybea1> to anyone: i heard the new ipods wernt supported in ubuntu, is this true? im thinking about buying one....
[21:23] <jobe> whats the usual command for safe mode again? "sry not experienced with pc" :S
[21:23] <jobe> f8?
[21:23] <ikonia> floatingredwagon: is your nick registered
[21:23] <vee_> macd that could be it.... guess i will have to install on the smaller monitor... unless theres a way around it
[21:23] <tomg_> can anyone help me with my lockup?
[21:23] <floatingredwagon> ikonia: likely not.  This has been a "download mirc, login to freenode" situation.
[21:23] <ijn> hi all
[21:23] <fjellREV1> vee_: im sitting with the same problem right now,i was gonna try the alternate cd.have you tried this?im a downloading myslef into a dead end?
[21:24] <ijn> what can I do to install flash
[21:24] <Nrbelex2> juliank, you were right
[21:24] <Nrbelex2> I renamed it - now it shows up
[21:24] <echosa> jobe: when your computer boots, ubuntu should give you boot choices, one of which is safe mode
[21:24] <Nrbelex2> Juniank, do I now restart?
[21:24] <macd> fjellREV1, if you cant see video at POST, then its not the OS, its the PC, and its normal for that to happen on todays higer resolution monitors.
[21:24] <vee_> fjellREV1 only happens with my large monitor... LCD

There is one thing i found however: ethtool eth1 returns Supported ports: [ TP ]  on one pc and Supported ports: [ MII ] on t

[21:26] <IKE> so zenobius find it?
[21:26] <zenobius> ijn: something i heard off of afternow by sean kennedy
[21:26] <ijn> is that a problem if Iam on gutsy.
[21:26] <zenobius> IKE: i cant, but ifound this...
[21:26] <tauchris> Please forgive this "noob" question-- I'm setting up VPN access on Gutsy using vpnc.  Docs suggest that vpnc can run in user space-- I took that to mean that if I set it up correctly, I wouldn't have to do "sudo" to establish or disconnect a vpn session.  So far, I haven't been able to get it working without sudo.  Does anyone have any hints?
[21:27] <macd> piglit, pc2pc links with crossover cables shouldn't be expected to fun fast, since they default to half duplex, your best bet is to use a switch to connect them, or deal with the slowness
[21:27] <juliank> Nrbelex2: reboot

[21:29] <joha> Is there an aptitude command to remove all unneeded packages that may be on the system?

[21:34] <Oli``> Is there a way to restart X (or have it reload its config) without dumping all the programs running inside X?
[21:34] <jobe> macd, i type that when the computer hangs or at what point?  when i see the message cannot load x server?
[21:34] <Ttech> No way to do that?
[21:34] <Ttech> Otherwise?
[21:34] <echosa> either 1.) boot into safe mode then copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup to /etc/X11/xorg.conf ...... OR 2.) boot the live cd, mount your filesystem on the hard drive, then copy <mount position>/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup to <mount position>/etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:34] <Ttech> So you can't just add a menu item/
[21:34] <juliank> Nrbelex2: Use sudo. 'sudo ndiswrapper -ma' and 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper'
[21:34] <macd> jobe, after the xserver is done not loading
[21:34] <zenobius> Ttech: only certain apps can do it or you need to recompile gnome with the menu entries, or you can use nautilus-scripts
[21:34] <jobe> ok, will try that now. brb
[21:34] <macd> jobe, hit that then you might need to hit enter once to wake the terminal
[21:34] <Ttech> zenobius, I have nautilus scripts.

[21:36] <zenobius> bluefox83: look at rockbox.org
[21:36] <bluefox83> Eyemean, it'll be fine as it is, so long as you didn't pick a kernel specific to your proc
[21:37] <Eyemean> macd, would that be the same case for winxp, becaus ei am dual booting
[21:37] <zenobius> bluefox83: i have my ipod using it, so i can now play all kinds of funnky files without itunes
[21:37] <zenobius> bluefox83: i even use floola to convert and transfer videos to my ipod (apple os side)
[21:37] <Eyemean> bluefox83, it just installed normal, so i didnt pick anything in particular
[21:38] <bluefox83> Eyemean, should be fine then

[21:43] <Eyemean> macd, cheers fr the info at least now i know what to exepct if and when i change my motherboard and chip. i got crappy 1.6Ghz at the mo, and was given intel 2.4Gh
[21:43] <ace_suares> endo: I have problems booting my pc
[21:43] <Flannel> rem_: boot flags are ignored in most modern OSs, including Linux
[21:43] <brobostigon> bios
[21:43] <VladimirMelo> ompaul: you're using just gnome search tool?
[21:43] <ace_suares> endo: you can buy another camera too :-)
[21:43] <endo> I can't seem to get anyones attension around here today
[21:43] <ompaul> VladimirMelo, na, I was - I killed the process
[21:43] <rem_> well..ok but depending on the prob, it could be solved with a boot disk and a partition mgr ..
[21:43] <zenobius> Kornz: its moved onto being called mediubuntu
[21:43] <ace_suares> endo: how are yure experiences with winxp ?
[21:43] <k0rnz> anyone know what is the name of that program that automatically installs Google-Earth and other programs in Ubuntu?
[21:43] <Soskel> poop
[21:44] <Nrbelex2> juliank, sda1 has been mounted 37 times - it's running a check - 1 minute
[21:44] <endo> i hate xp man
[21:44] <VladimirMelo> ompaul: have you ever heard troubles with tracker before?
[21:44] <pike_> endo: so if ya plug it in then do dmesg | tail can you pastebin the output?
[21:44] <Flannel> k0rnz: google earth is in medibuntu, add the repository, go to down with synaptic.
[21:44] <VladimirMelo> about*
[21:44] <ompaul> VladimirMelo, the ones I told you about - so that is it
[21:44] <ace_suares> endo: nothings perfect then I guess.
[21:44] <endo> pike_: thank you bro, give me a second ok?
[21:44] <RenatoSilva> zenobius: Huuuu??? I use it everyday
[21:44] <ace_suares> endo: maybe try vista.
[21:44] <VladimirMelo> ompaul: ok, thanks
[21:44] <k0rnz> Flannel, not that but the program that you install which then installs Google-Earth and other popular software packages
[21:45] <k0rnz> it is native to Ubuntu users
[21:45] <endo> ace_suares: I work for HP, vista a bit better but...debain is best
[21:45] <Nrbelex2> juliank, still nothing :-(
[21:45] <pike_> endo: for most people automount works. i had to make a little script for my family to look in dmesg and then mount out usb devices but that is far from normal
[21:45] <pike_> out/our
[21:45] <ace_suares> endo: debian is based on ubuntu (or vice versa).
[21:45] <Flannel> k0rnz: EasyUbuntu is no longer maintained, they recommend you just use the regular package manager with the medibuntu repository.
[21:46] <zenobius> time for sleep, postman is outsde in his vespa
[21:46] <ace_suares> k0rnz: I agree with Flannel
[21:46] <zenobius> on*
[21:46] <endo> pike_: check msg
[21:46] <XxValetexX> hello all
[21:47] <tomvolek_> hi all, happy new year.  New to Ruby on rails. Whats the best way to insert content into MYSQL via a Ruby script ?
[21:47] <XxValetexX> is there any way to install xunbuntu in a computer that cant read CDs?
[21:47] <PriceChild> !install | XxValetexX
[21:47] <ubotu> XxValetexX: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[21:47] <tomvolek_> oops sorry wrong channel :)
[21:47] <k0rnz> Flannel, i'm not talking about a repository, I'm trying to remember what the name was for the program which is installable via synaptic which then installs several programs like Google Earth and DeVeDe among others
[21:48] <xtas> tomvolek_: happy new year to you too :)
[21:48] <k0rnz> the name starts with an A i think something like Applica or Apptiva or something like that
[21:48] <k0rnz> i cant quite remember the name though
[21:48] <Flannel> k0rnz: There is no program like that.
[21:48] <k0rnz> there was a whole section in the ubuntu forums about it
[21:48] <crowmaster> ola buenas noches
[21:48] <Soskel> can you boot from extended?
[21:49] <Soskel> is that possible?
[21:49] <Myrtti> k0rnz: forget it and move along
[21:49] <Flannel> k0rnz: I just told you, EasyUbuntu was like that, it is no longer maintained, because medibuntu more or less superceded the need for it.
[21:49] <Jowi> Soskel, a partition inside the extended - yes
[21:49] <phaedra> k0rnz, Automtix I think...
[21:49] <k0rnz> phaedra, thanks thats it!
[21:49] <ompaul> !automatix | k0rnz
[21:49] <ubotu> k0rnz: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[21:49] <Flannel> !automatix | k0rnz
[21:49] <k0rnz> Flannel, thanks also
[21:49] <Myrtti> oh no
[21:49] <Myrtti> they said it
[21:49] <Soskel>  Jowi does that partition count twords the 4 primarys you are limited too??
[21:49] <phaedra> k0rnz, Automatix that is....
[21:50] <Flannel> k0rnz: The only thign automatix is good for is breaking your system.  Don't use it, it'll only end in tears.
[21:50] <Myrtti> k0rnz, phaedra: don't touch it
[21:50] <PMantis> Hey guys... anyone know how to run a script after each successful file transfer over ssh?
[21:50] <Myrtti> k0rnz, phaedra: your ubuntu warranty will be null and void the moment you touch it
[21:50] <endo> pike_: you still there bro?
[21:50] <phaedra> Myrtti, I don't...  I prefer to install things myself via apt-get or synaptic.
[21:50] <pike_> endo: yeah
[21:50] <pike_> endo: i didnt get a /msg are you registered?
[21:51] <endo> ohhh
[21:51] <Myrtti> phaedra: then don't endorse the usage of it in anyway
[21:51] <endo> alright, i'll pastebin
[21:51] <Jowi> Soskel, yes
[21:51] <k0rnz> what i need is to find the name of that software package that automatix installs where it enables you to use 2 pairs of keyboards, monitors, mice, and makes your single PC behave like it was 2 PCs where 2 people can use it using seperate keyboards, monitors, mice sets
[21:51] <pike_> k
[21:51] <Soskel> thanks Jowi
[21:51] <Myrtti> phaedra: forget that you've ever heard of it
[21:51] <phaedra> Myrtti, But others do like it...
[21:51] <Flannel> ace_suares: So, this "not booting" thing, you'll really need to be more specific.  Since "doesnt work" just isnt very descriptive.
[21:51] <Jowi> Soskel, 3 primary + 1 extended = 4 "primary"
[21:51] <Myrtti> phaedra: no, they don't
[21:51] <Myrtti> phaedra: honestly
[21:51] <Soskel> thank you
[21:51] <k0rnz> anyone know of the program name which allows me to use my single PC as 2 PCs? linux or windows vista?
[21:52] <ompaul> !xen | k0rnz (not trivial)
[21:52] <ubotu> k0rnz (not trivial): XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen
[21:52] <tomg_> k0rnz u mean like virtualization?
[21:52] <Myrtti> !automatix > phaedra
[21:52] <PMantis> k0rnz: Not with Vista, but with Linux you can easily setup a remote X session.. boot a thin client with LTSP.
[21:52] <endo> pike_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50539/
[21:53] <k0rnz> yeah so 2 kids can both use PC at the same time instead of fighting over who gets to go first. thanks for the info
[21:53] <pike_> k0rnz: http://support.userful.com/wiki/index.php/How_To/Desktop_Multiplier_on_Ubuntu
[21:53] <pike_> k0rnz: i think thats right
[21:53] <tomg_> k0rnz: oh u mean with 2 keyboards, 2 mice and 2 monitors?
[21:53] <k0rnz> tomg, yes
[21:53] <k0rnz> pike_ and others thanks
[21:54] <Jowi> k0rnz, easier to buy a second cheap one
[21:54] <pike_> endo: sudo mount -o umask=000 /dev/sda1 /media/usb   <-- try that
[21:54] <tomg_> k0rnz do u have 2 gfx cards?
[21:54] <k0rnz> instead of setting up another PC which will burn up extra energy, i want to just run 1 PC and have 2 terminals running off of 1 PC
[21:54] <Pi1> a question: if i dont change the access to a shared folder in windows from everyone to "someone" i will not need user and password to access to shared doc?
[21:54] <Flannel> k0rnz: Just because we say not to use Auto-whatever, doesn't mean not to use the software that it could install.  There are safe methods for installing all of that software.  You just need to know what it is you're actually looking for.
[21:54] <endo> pike_:  i get: mount: mount point /media/usb does not exist
[21:55] <k0rnz> tomg_ no but i can always get another one
[21:55] <pike_> endo: oops sudo mkdir /media/camera; sudo mount -o umask=000 /dev/sda1 /media/camera
[21:55] <k0rnz> Flannel, I will probably install Automatix just to see the name of the program that allows me to run my PC like 2
[21:55] <Flannel> k0rnz: Unfortunately, I don't see any listed software that looks like it might do that.  Unless you're talking about VMWare or Virtualbox
[21:56] <k0rnz> might have been virtualbox but i do know about VMware
[21:56] <endo> pike_: mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist
[21:56] <ijn> hey guys thanks for adobe flash
[21:56] <ijn> it works
[21:56] <Myrtti> k0rnz: for the love of GAIA don't install automatix
[21:56] <ijn> thanks:)
[21:56] <pike_> endo: grr its in your dmesg one sec
[21:56] <aKirkeby> k0rnz, could it have been Qemu perhaps?
[21:56] <XxValetexX> Myrtti:  ahahahah
[21:56] <k0rnz> aKirkeby, not sure but will look into it too
[21:57] <endo> pike_: sorry, I dont see it bro
[21:57] <XxValetexX> Myrtti: what does this automatix do anyways?
[21:57] <Flannel> k0rnz: There's plenty of virtualization things, some of which (obviously) do what you're asking.  I'd do some research on them, and find out what works best.
[21:57] <k0rnz> Myrtti, lol ok
[21:57] <Gnea> Hey everyone, I'm trying to finalise a DVD that I'm making for a group presentation, but the mkisofs command refuses to create the image file, and k3b won't burn the dvd.  I'm following these directions: http://www.lynchconsulting.com.au/blog/index.cfm/2007/12/24/HOWTO-Create-DVDs-on-Ubuntu  and everything works except for the final step.  Has anyone else had better luck?
[21:57] <Myrtti> !automatix > XxValetexX
[21:57] <Flannel> !virtualization | k0rnz, you have plenty to choose from
[21:57] <k0rnz> ok thanks guys appreciated it
[21:57] <ubotu> k0rnz, you have plenty to choose from: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[21:57] <tomgg> k0rnz: u dont need that
[21:57] <tomgg> k0rnz: u need multiseat X
[21:58] <tim167> i downloaded a .deb file but it doesnt automatically open with the package installer, how do i do that ? thanks
[21:58] <wols_> tim167: dpkg -i
[21:58] <Gnea> tim167: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[21:58] <DenFromKiev> хай всем
[21:58] <k0rnz> tomgg, thanks i will also look into that
[21:58] <DenFromKiev> вопрос

[21:58] <tomgg> k0rnz: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Multiseat_X that might help
[21:58] <pike_> endo: one more time! dmesg | tail -n 40 :)
[21:58] <XxValetexX> k0rnz: apparently u need a lot of things and none at the same time
[21:59] <endo> k :D
[21:59] <tim167> ah ok thanks i'll try some of your :)

[22:00] <XxValetexX> vexati0n:  what is that project of urs?
[22:00] <bense> anyone know how to increase the number of desktops from 2 to 4?
[22:00] <k0rnz> tomgg, linux will be fine for now thanks

[22:01] <RequinB4>  hey all - I plugged a flash drive in and previously i had a disk file system i had to unmount to remove it safely.  Now, I just get a file in /media.  I need to know what i need to do to remove the drive safely on my box now.
[22:01] <vexati0n> wols_: i really do have an Ubuntu question, i'm just saving it for five seconds before you kick me out for being off topic.
[22:01] <Gnea> vexati0n: why do you have a death wish?

[22:02] <vee_> rlv why? i dont know any

[22:03] <rlv> no problems - i didn't think so

[22:07] <teddy__> Hi, I'm getting started with shell scripting. May I say that bash is the same as /bin/sh?
[22:08] <crdlb> teddy__: no
[22:08] <brobostigon> quiet here!!
[22:08] <crdlb> teddy__: on ubuntu, /bin/sh is dash
[22:08] <vee_> how can I boot from live cd if i cant see POST on this monitor?
[22:08] <juan> ive overwritten part of a ext3 partition is there anyway to restore data that wasnt erased?
[22:08] <tomgg> teddy__: they should be similar enough for most scripting purposes
[22:09] <teddy__> crdlb, thanks. So if I want to follow the POSIX standard I shall start my scripts as #! /bin/dash?
[22:09] <crdlb> teddy__: nah, if you want to use "bashisms", then put #!/bin/bash
[22:09] <crdlb> teddy__: if your script only uses pure POSIX shell features, then you can put #!/bin/sh
[22:10] <teddy__> crdlb, ok, so #! /bin/bash is the standard, portable POSIX
[22:10] <teddy__> crdlb, I tried a very simple script with #! /bin/sh but it didn't work
[22:10] <crdlb> teddy__: if your script will only run on bash (because it uses bash-only features), then yes you should always explicitly run it with /bin/bash
[22:10] <tomgg> teddy__ i would have thought #! /bin/sh would be more standard across oses, then it can use any shell
[22:10] <reportingsjr> Where is the python folder?
[22:10] <XxValetexX> =P
[22:10] <tomgg> as long as your script is not arkward
[22:10] <Nrbelex2> I have a wireless USB net adapter. It wasn't working properly with the included driver. Now, after using the Windows driver for it though ndiswrapper, the link light isn't flashing at all and Ubuntu doesn't even recognize it... ARGH
[22:11] <Malik_> hey can some1 help me out
[22:11] <brobostigon> i am learning python.
[22:11] <teddy__> tomgg this is the idea. But Ubuntu substituted it with dash for efficiency
[22:11] <vee_> zenobius how can I boot from live cd if i cant see POST on this monitor?
[22:11] <tomgg> teddy__ yea and dash should be ok, its just when some non standard bash extensions are used in scripts they dont work with sh
[22:11] <crdlb> teddy__: your simple script probably uses some "bashisms" then (features only in bash)
[22:12] <ace_suares> Flannel you still there
[22:12] <ace_suares> Flannel: ?
[22:12] <teddy__> Ok, my book is driving me towards a simple who | wc -l
[22:12] <reportingsjr> what is wrong with ls / |grep soy ?

[22:13] <ace_suares> Flannel: hope that is specific enoughj
[22:13] <Jowi> reportingsjr, nothing at all... as long as you have a file or folder in / that has "soy" in its name.
[22:13] <teddy__> tomgg, yes, but not with #! /bin/sh
[22:13] <tomgg> teddy__ run this  ls -l /bin/sh

[22:34] <trogdorneedshelp> Hi guys, I feel like a real idiot, but I just can't find this information on the ubuntu site (it seems like it ought to be there).

[22:35] <grizlo42> i just set up a dual boot today
[22:35] <pike_> trogdorneedshelp: you need the resize option most likely unless you have setup empty partitions already
[22:36] <grizlo42> let me find the tutorial i used that worked perfectly
[22:36] <Jowi> seanh, did you reboot the computer after you plugged it in? is it enabled in BIOS (some laptops need it, some don't)?
[22:36] <grizlo42> http://www.matthewjmiller.net/howtos/dual-boot-linux-and-windows/
[22:37] <grizlo42> everything went smoothly with that, trog

[22:39] <ruinix> i need help to have a sound
[22:39] <gotenks> that was my 2nd question Myrtti
[22:39] <Eyemean> pike_no sorry its on my other dead pc which where i want to replace the motherboard and devot to linux
[22:39] <gotenks> noone responded to my first one for several min's
[22:40] <gotenks> myrtti:  i had wireless internet working, and was working on ICS, and now it's not working
[22:40] <Myrtti> gotenks: and your first one wasn't particularly descriptive
[22:40] <gotenks> if i could describe it more i would
[22:41] <gotenks> i was following many different sites since no-one could help me other then referring me to internet sites about internet sharing
[22:41] <PirateHead> Is there a way to upgrade just one package to the Hardy version?
[22:41] <GStory> Has anyone had the following message on postgrey 1.27-4 on 7.10: Starting postfix greylisting daemon: postgreyUse of uninitialized value in split at /usr/lib/perl5/Sys/Syslog.pm line 123.
[22:41] <Odd-rationale> PirateHead: Just download the deb
[22:41] <Jowi> PirateHead, very possible. but not at all recommended. it can break many things depending on what you need as dependencies...
[22:42] <ruinix> when can help me?
[22:42] <PirateHead> In particular, I'm thinking about upgrading to the latest Firefox beta.
[22:42] <Jowi> !sound | ruinix (start here)
[22:42] <ubotu> ruinix (start here): If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[22:42] <seanh> jowi -- the external started working on reboot. After a bit of fiddling with the resolutions it's perfect, and after a quick change to the power management settings I can close the laptop lid without blanking both screens. Cheers! I'm watchin a video now
[22:43] <ruinix> ok
[22:43] <ruinix> thanksw
[22:43] <ruinix> thanks
[22:43] <pike_> PirateHead: you could always just grab the tar.gz from mozilla and unpack it to your /home dir
[22:43] <Jowi> seanh, no probs. usually the VGA port activates during boot.
[22:43] <PirateHead> pike_: That's what I'm doing presently.
[22:43] <gotenks> i guess noone knows anything about how to help me fix my wireless internet
[22:43] <gotenks> :/
[22:44] <Gyro54> I would like to update to 7.10 from 7.04 but my HD partition is too small.
[22:45] <|SEF|> Hello, I'm having problems connecting to the Internet via a wired connection
[22:45] <Gyro54> Can I resize by using a boot disk and repartitioning without loosing my current data?
[22:45] <brobostigon> gyro54: i had the same prob on my laptop, so i started from scratch

[22:45] <|SEF|> I've configured the interfaces file and it seems to be able to connect to the router OK, but it just can't go online
[22:45] <Odd-rationale> Gyro54: Possibly.
[22:46] <Jowi> |SEF|, what do you mean by wired? PC connected via Ethernet to a modem or router? is it USB? PPPoE or PPPoA?
[22:46] <Odd-rationale> Gyro54: In other words, not garunteed.
[22:46] <grizlo42> How do i put automake 1.9 onto Gutsy?
[22:46] <|SEF|> Jowi: Ethernet wire through a router
[22:46] <Jowi> |SEF|, ah. can you ping the router?
[22:46] <|SEF|> Jowi: Yes, I went into Networking tools and entered the router address
[22:46] <|SEF|> Jowi: and it pinged OK

[22:48] <newbie> where can I find the instructions to install ubuntu?
[22:48] <il312> ok. I followed the instructions for the dialup internet modem on the Ubuntu site. I downloaded the drivers, installed them, ran the setup exactly as directed in the driver install itself. And it tells me that it cannot find my mode. *Sigh* and being new to Linux systems I've no clue of what to do at this point.
[22:48] <|SEF|> Jowi: Nope

[22:50] <|SEF|> Jowi: OK, will try that now!
[22:50] <omar_> Hola
[22:50] <brobostigon> maria: maybe packages.ubuntu.com
[22:51] <maria> brobostigon, the latest version 0.6.0 doesn't figure there...
[22:51] <omar_> exit
[22:52] <murf3326> I know I probably just missed it but is there a webpage describing the different versions of buntu?
[22:52] <maria> brobostigon, hmm...now how about this...why would it show up here? http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libg/libgpod/
[22:53] <brobostigon> maria: i dont know??
[22:54] <|SEF|> Jowi: Sorry for the wait, I looked around the router page but couldn't find a Ping function
[22:54] <|SEF|> Jowi: but
[22:54] <effie_jayx> Hello all
[22:54] <|SEF|> Jowi: I can ping that page from this computer, which is also connected to the router via a wired connection
[22:54] <|SEF|> Jowi: and also, when I was going through the router page with the laptop, sometimes it lost the connection

[22:55] <effie_jayx> printer...
[22:55] <Jowi> |SEF|, ok. does this router contain a DSL modem?
[22:55] <JanC> effie_jayx: it's not supported in Ubuntu?
[22:55] <effie_jayx> not on the list
[22:55] <epsilonlyrae> ...some advice for a good torrent downloader ? ...Bittorrent in ubuntu doesn't manage multiple torrent download... isn'ti ?!
[22:56] <JanC> effie_jayx: and it's manual doesn't say "..."-comaptible ?

[22:56] <epsilonlyrae> ...thx now get a look
[22:57] <effie_jayx> JanC,  I'm checking the manual
[22:57] <Jowi> epsilonlyrae, "transmission" is not bad either...
[22:58] <|SEF|> Jowi:  Sorry...I'm not sure what a DSL modem is
[22:58] <jakel1> ummm... i have a problem installing a theme
[22:58] <jakel1> can someone help me
[22:58] <antisocialist> ooo ok
[22:58] <antisocialist> i can
[22:58] <antisocialist> or at least try
[22:59] <jakel1> i am trying to install Mac4Lin GTK Metacity theme
[22:59] <antisocialist> and
[22:59] <epsilonlyrae> ...I know...
[22:59] <jakel1> and well... i go to the theme manager
[22:59] <Jowi> |SEF|, is the router connected to a modem or is the login settings for your internet connection in the router itself?
[22:59] <antisocialist> you are trying to compile from source right
[22:59] <jakel1> i select the .tar.gz file and hit install... it says it installs correctly but then it doesn't show up un the theme manager
[23:00] <antisocialist> do you have over 20 themes in metacity?
[23:00] <jakel1> i was following this guy's tutorial:   http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/make-ubuntu-look-like-osxmac-608307/
[23:00] <antisocialist> i would look but i am too lazy
[23:00] <|SEF|> Jowi: Sorry, something happened with my Internet just now...
[23:00] <jakel1> lazy?
[23:00] <antisocialist> ok when you want themes, you gotta go to gnome-look.org
[23:00] <antisocialist> yes, i am lazy
[23:00] <jakel1> that is where i went...
[23:01] <antisocialist> ok
[23:01] <Jowi> |SEF|, is the router stand-alone or is the router connected to a separate modem?
[23:01] <antisocialist> then what was with the other site
[23:01] <antisocialist> you dont need a tutorial to install a theme
[23:01] <jakel1> that is the instructions i was following
[23:01] <antisocialist> o
[23:01] <antisocialist> ok
[23:01] <antisocialist> well its easy
[23:01] <jakel1> ok....
[23:01] <antisocialist> open up sys>prefs>appearance
[23:01] <jakel1> ok...
[23:01] <|SEF|> Jowi: I belive it's connected to a modem via a socket in the wall
[23:01] <jakel1> did that already
[23:01] <sint> hey, i wanna buy a wifi card. which chip is the best for linux, if i need wpa2?
[23:01] <jakel1> and hit install... then select the tar.gz file right?
[23:01] <antisocialist> the tab it is in will be theme
[23:02] <antisocialist> now click the .tar.gz archive and drag it to the theme thing, and release
[23:02] <Jowi> |SEF|, ok, I need to get this clarified. answer with Yes or No. socket -> modem -> router -> laptop + linux PC ?
[23:02] <puli> guys i removed the internet icon from my panel, how can i revert bak to my default panel
[23:02] <|SEF|> I think it's modem -> socket -> router ->laptop+linux
[23:02] <antisocialist> did that work
[23:02] <jakel1> i did that already
[23:03] <antisocialist> did it work though
[23:03] <puli> guys i removed the internet icon from my panel, how can i revert bak to my default panel
[23:03] <PirateHead> puli: The easiest thing to do is put the internet icon back on. Do you mean the Firefox icon, specifically?
[23:03] <|SEF|> Jowi: I think it's modem -> socket -> router ->laptop+linux
[23:03] <jakel1> it says correctly installed but then it doesn't show up in the theme manager window
[23:03] <|SEF|> Jowi: this PC is also Linux on Feisty Fawn
[23:03] <antisocialist> close the theme manager and open it again
[23:03] <jakel1> nope not there
[23:03] <puli> no the icon which shows different wireless internect connections
[23:03] <antisocialist> o, when it asks, you gotta say "yes, i would like to (something i cant remember)
[23:04] <maria> quick question: which is the command line to install a deb file? ie: sudo dpkg install package.deb ?
[23:04] <Jowi> |SEF|, ok, forget about the socket. so you have a separate modem. the modem is connected to the router. the 2 PC is connected to the router. correct?
[23:04] <PirateHead> puli: Ah, that's the network manager applet. To add it back to your panel, right click an empty space on the panel and select "Add to Panel..."
[23:04] <kitche> maria: dpkg -i package.deb
[23:04] <antisocialist> sudo aptitude install package name
[23:04] <puli> ok
[23:04] <puli> then?
[23:04] <antisocialist> maria
[23:04] <|SEF|> Jowi: Yes
[23:04] <Alex_Gaynor> I am trying to install my canon pixma ip1500 on gutsy using this guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanonPixmaIP1500 however I keep getting this error: http://dpaste.com/29686/

[23:04] <antisocialist> np
[23:05] <atomdog2003> how do I get an irc server running on ubuntu 7.10 ?
[23:05] <jakel1> antisocialist: it never asked anything it jst said it was correctly installed
[23:05] <puli> piratehead i am not getting the network manager in there
[23:05] <Jowi> |SEF|, let's make this step as well just-in-case... have you tried to connect the PC to another router socket ?
[23:05] <PirateHead> puli: A list will pop up when you do that, and you should select "Notification Area" from that list.
[23:05] <antisocialist> ok jakel1
[23:06] <|SEF|> Jowi: Nope, I will try
[23:06] <Jowi> s/socket/port... gah
[23:06] <antisocialist> try picking one of your themes, and click customize
[23:06] <maria> Ah crap, I am falling in the cracks of dependency hell, ...which command line utility is similar to the RH's yum ?
[23:06] <antisocialist> then see if the mac4lin things are their
[23:06] <PirateHead> puli: Make sure you click "Add" after selecting Notification Area. It's near the bottom of the list on my computer.
[23:06] <atomdog2003> maria: apt-get
[23:06] <jakel1> ok
[23:06] <maria> atomdog2003, thanks
[23:06] <jakel1> wait... i think i got it
[23:06] <antisocialist> did that work
[23:06] <jakel1> now it's in there
[23:07] <antisocialist> k
[23:07] <JanC> effie_jayx: judging maria apt-get, aptitude, wajig, ...  ;)
[23:07] <jakel1> strange
[23:07] <atomdog2003> maria: apt-cache
[23:07] <JanC> eh
[23:07] <JanC> maria: apt-get, aptitude, wajig, ...  ;)
[23:07] <|SEF|> Jowi: Sorry, still not working
[23:07] <Alex_Gaynor> I am trying to install my canon pixma ip1500 on gutsy using this guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanonPixmaIP1500 however I keep getting this error: http://dpaste.com/29686/ anyone on what is wrong?  I am on AMD64 and I get the impression that the problem is because the drivers are meant for i386 is there anything I can do about this?
[23:08] <squarebracket> can i use amarok to manage my ipod?
[23:08] <atomdog2003> how do I get an irc server running on ubuntu 7.10 ?
[23:08] <JanC> effie_jayx: judging from their website and openprinting.org, I think it won't work, unless they support emulation of some old printer language  :-/
[23:08] <PurpZeY> !ipod | squarebracket
[23:08] <ubotu> squarebracket: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[23:08] <squarebracket> awesome, thanks
[23:08] <zack> hey can someone help me with my video card ahhhh its driving me crazy
[23:08] <PirateHead> atomdog2003: It definitely looks like the x64 architecture is not supported by that package. That's one of the problems with non-free drivers -- if they aren't packaged for your architecture of choice, you're screwed.
[23:09] <ravun> is it possible to pin other applications to the desktop (pidgin) like you can with conky or the terminal?  using devilspie perhaps...
[23:09] <maria> wow...too much is like not enough...
[23:09] <atomdog2003> PirateHead:  you got the wrong guy
[23:09] <Jowi> |SEF|, brb. son woke up...
[23:09] <sayers> I have a cron tab to >> stuff to a file however it ends up at the bottom, how would I get it to the top?
[23:09] <PirateHead> Alex_Gaynor: It definitely looks like the x64 architecture is not supported by that package. That's one of the problems with non-free drivers -- if they aren't packaged for your architecture of choice, you're screwed.
[23:09] <PirateHead> sorry atomdog2003
[23:09] <|SEF|> Jowi: kk, thank you
[23:10] <squarebracket> hmm... so amarok should auto-detect the ipod? cuz it's not.
[23:10] <atomdog2003> sayers: mv the original stuff to another file (mv) write with a single > and then write the moved file back using >>
[23:11] <sayers> atomdog2003, That makes sense but an example would help a lot.
[23:11] <sayers> atomdog2003, */10 * * * * sensors -f | grep "CPU Temp" >> www/heat && uptime >> www/heat &&  echo >> www/heat && echo >> www/heat is my current cron tab
[23:11] <atomdog2003> sayers: so, say the file you want pre-pend stuff to a file called file.txt:   mv file.txt tmp.txt ; output > file.txt ; cat tmp.txt >> file.txt
[23:11] <kane77> so what is the best video player?
[23:12] <effie_jayx> JanC,  there are several printers that are compatibe
[23:12] <PirateHead> kane77: Depends on what your needs are. Are you watching DVDs?
[23:12] <PurpZeY> !best | kane77
[23:12] <ubotu> kane77: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[23:12] <effie_jayx> JanC,  an Epson 9 pin might do the trick
[23:12] <PurpZeY> kane77: Many use VLC media player
[23:12] <effie_jayx> It'll let you know
[23:12] <atomdog2003> sayers: in your case it looks like the filename is www/heat
[23:12] <PirateHead> kane77: VLC is very nice, but for DVDs Ogle is awesome.
[23:12] <kane77> PirateHead, sometimes... mostly I want to be able to easily add sbtitles (even change on fly)
[23:13] <sayers> atomdog2003, so with another cron tab do mv heat ~/tmp ; output > www/heat ; cat ~/tmp >> www/heat
[23:13] <PirateHead> kane77: You mean, you want to be able to add subtitles to videos that do not have them?
[23:13] <atomdog2003> sayers: I would just add that step to the command
[23:13] <norv> who knows where ruby documentation, the same style as ruby-doc.org, is stored in Ubuntu? or must I generate them by rdoc?
[23:13] <PirateHead> kane77: That would be a feature of a video editor, not viewer.
[23:13] <sayers> atomdog2003, Hm, well that's where I don't know how.
[23:13] <PirateHead> norv: Did you install the ruby documentation package?
[23:14] <kane77> PirateHead, no, just play with subtitles...
[23:14] <PirateHead> kane77: Play with, as in edit? Or as in view?
[23:14] <zack> does anyone know if theres the windows equivalent of a system restore on ubuntu
[23:14] <kane77> PirateHead, view
[23:14] <PirateHead> zack: Ask in ##windows
[23:14] <effie_jayx> made it work
[23:14] <PirateHead> kane77: Ogle lets you view subtitles in DVDs
[23:14] <effie_jayx> thanks JanC
[23:15] <norv> PirateHead: i've installed rdoc and ri, don't see any ruby-doc or some such package
[23:15] <norv> PirateHead: seeing as ri sees some, I figure it must exist somewhere
[23:15] <PirateHead> norv: I thought there was a ruby-doc package. If not, you'll have to build the docs yourself.
[23:15] <zack> piratehead, is I messed up my video driver but i am not quite sure how and i just want to undo whatever i did
[23:15] <JanC> effie_jayx: ah, good, many ticket printers support the old Epson ESC [ codes because a lot of old ticket software is still in use, I just wonder why they don't put that on their site  :-(
[23:16] <PirateHead> zack: Are you using Windows or Ubuntu?  Is that accurate?
[23:16] <jeff__> can someone please guide me in the right direction to get sound working on my Vaio Laptop?
[23:16] <zack> ubuntu
[23:16] <effie_jayx> JanC,  But where can I find ESC driver...
[23:16] <Nrbelex>  /msg ubotu flash
[23:16] <norv> PirateHead: ri seems to find it but won't reveal what directory the html and such is in
[23:16] <effie_jayx> it's not in ubuntu
[23:16] <zack> piratehead, ubuntu
[23:16] <Jowi> |SEF|, nightmares. we'll see how long i can stay... is the connection settings for your ISP (username, password) entered in the modem or in the router?
[23:16] <JanC> you probably need an old Epson driver
[23:16] <|SEF|> Jowi: No problem, thank you for helping
[23:17] <PirateHead> norv: Perhaps locate or find or grep to search for it? Or ask dpkg where it installed the Ruby stuff.
[23:17] <|SEF|> Jowi: Through the modem, I think
[23:17] <zack> piratehead, no i just want to undo whatever i did, if i do a fresh install of ubuntu does it like bring back defalt settings?
[23:17] <PirateHead> zack: There's no easy rollback function, unfortunately.
[23:17] <PurpZeY> zack: fresh install, is a fresh install
[23:17] <|SEF|> Jowi: the only password we have had to use with the router was just the one to enter the Router page and the wireless password
[23:18] <PirateHead> !sound | zack
[23:18] <ubotu> zack: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[23:18] <jeff__> how do I get audio working on a pcg-tr3a
[23:18] <PirateHead> !audio | jeff__

[23:18]  * Pelo hopes the first mockup on this page becomes the new default theme in hardy, if not , he hopes the guy puts it up on gnome-look, it is just yummy  http://mopedia.blogspot.com/2007/12/hardy-heron-theme-candidates.html
[23:18] <zack> piratehead, I am not having a problem with sound its my stupid ATI video card
[23:19] <JanC> effie_jayx: maybe try "Epson-Dot_Matrix"
[23:19] <Pelo> zack, restricted driver not working for you ? have you tried the binaries driver yet ?
[23:19] <squarebracket> PurpZeY: from the doc you gave me, it looks like amarok should auto-detect my ipod. do you know if this is the case?
[23:19] <PirateHead> zack: Oh, I got sound card out of that somehow.
[23:20] <PirateHead> zack: Try uninstalling and re-installing your video drivers, perhaps.
[23:20] <PirateHead> squarebracket: Amarok should auto-detect ipods, yes.
[23:20] <atomdog2003> sayers: sensors -f | grep "CPU Temp" > tmp.txt ; uptime >> tmp.txt ; echo >> tmp.txt ; echo >> tmp.txt ; mv www/heat tmp2.txt ; cat tmp.txt > www/heat ; cat tmp2.txt >> www/heat
[23:21] <Jowi> |SEF|, ok. you will need to check the modem settings (if the modem has got a web interface all is well). You will need to read your manual(s) on how to do this. I think there is a setting wrong somewhere in either your router or modem. Start with the modem. see if there is a MAC address that is entered in the modem. If that MAC address match the laptop that means that only the laptop can connect. Change it to the *routers* MAC address i
[23:21] <Jowi> f needed *or* set the modem to bridged mode and enter the connection settings in the router instead. I bet your ISP can guide you through that.
[23:21] <squarebracket> PirateHead: it's not auto-detecting mine.... any idea why?
[23:21] <sayers> atomdog2003, sadly above my head :)
[23:21] <Pelo> squarebracket, if it doesn'T off the bat,  go in , menu > system > prefs > removable media,  you can specify the prog to use when a portable music player is plugged it
[23:21] <Pelo> in
[23:21] <zack> Pelo, First I installed the binary and it was working fine but I couldnt do the screensavers at all, then i installed the restricted drivers and the screensavers worked but i couldnt do the visual effects at all
[23:22] <atomdog2003> sayers: cat is a program that dumps the contents of a file to stdout
[23:22] <PirateHead> squarebracket: Is it a brand-new iPod Classic? I've heard that those are having compatibility issues.
[23:22] <Pelo> zack, for the effects maybe you needed to install aixgl or whatever it is called
[23:22] <nomic> on gutsy the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest cards) even though it is ticked as 'in use' the driver doesn't load anyone know why this is?
[23:22] <atomdog2003> sayers: did you write that cron job?
[23:22] <Jowi> |SEF|, if you have no idea what I am talking about your ISP should be able to help.
[23:22] <zack> Pelo, then I think i installed aixgl,
[23:22] <squarebracket> pelo: i did. do i have to specify a mount point?
[23:22] <sayers> atomdog2003, yes I just wrote it
[23:22] <atomdog2003> does anyone know how to install an IRC server on Ubuntu ?
[23:22] <|SEF|> Jowi: Thank you, that will take some time so you may not be here when I am back, but I will look into that
[23:22] <|SEF|> Jowi: Thanks!
[23:22] <Pelo> zack, check in synaptic
[23:23] <pvl> (im almost embarrassed to ask) how do i know if imrunning 64 bit or 32 bit?
[23:23] <jakel1> quick question where is the install button for icon themes
[23:23] <atomdog2003> sayers: then you know that you are writing the output from the program "sensors" to a file named www/heat
[23:23] <Jowi> |SEF|, before you do though. you can see if the PC have internet if it is connected straight to the modem (leave the router out of it)
[23:23] <Pelo> squarebracket, not that I know of, it's just a place to tell which app to open when a music player is detected
[23:23] <jakel1> i cnt figure out how to install icons
[23:23] <pvl> jakeli u drag and drop the compressed files
[23:23] <norv> wow, must take a decade to generate the documentation
[23:23] <PirateHead> pvl: There's probably a sticker on your computer that says "AMD" or "Intel", and will have an x64 on it if you're running 64.
[23:23] <zack> pelo, and i enabled the restricted drivers and everything worked, but then it all went downhill and It seems like the videocard memory is not refreshing or something, everything works fine for a bit and then stops
[23:23] <Pelo> squarebracket, can you browse your ipod as a mass storage media ?
[23:23] <atomdog2003> sayers: I guess that file is availble thru http
[23:24] <jakel1> pvl: into where?
[23:24] <effie_jayx> JanC,  it prints but with a space in between
[23:24] <sayers> atomdog2003, sjsayers.com/heat it will be at
[23:24] <jeff__> why does this install of ubunut keep asking me for the CD!
[23:24] <pvl> PirateHead, matrox g450, should i just google?
[23:24] <squarebracket> PirateHead: i don't think so, it's my sister's old one.
[23:24] <pvl> jakel1, hold on
[23:24] <JanC> effie_jayx: at least you're getting close then  ;)
[23:24] <Jowi> |SEF|, if modem -> PC work, and modem -> laptop work then I would think the router is the faulty point.
[23:24] <Pelo> zack, since part of this has to do with effects, you can try asking in #compiz-fusion as well, someone in there mght know how to fix the problem
[23:24] <sayers> jeff__, look in /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:24] <effie_jayx> JanC,  yep ... close enough :D
[23:24] <effie_jayx> it looks fine though
[23:24] <jeff__> sayers, what should i look for in there?
[23:25] <sayers> jeff__, something about a CD
[23:25] <squarebracket> pelo: no, i don't seem to be able to. is there a way i can browse /dev or something?
[23:25] <Pelo> jeff__, cause you've got the cd listed as a repos, you can disable that in  menu > system> admin > software sources,  first tab, just uncheck the cd at the bottom
[23:25] <atomdog2003> sayers: to append to the top instead of the bottum, just write the current contents to another file, then write the sensor output to that file as usual, then append the original contents back onto the file
[23:25] <pvl> jakel1, oi, nvm thats for themes, sorry
[23:25] <Pelo> squarebracket, if you know the devtree you can always try and mount it manualy
[23:25] <zack> pelo, thanks ill try that
[23:25] <sayers> atomdog2003, ah, sorta makes sense now, copy all the stuff to another file and then put the new at the top and copy over
[23:25] <squarebracket> pelo: i don't... is there any way i can find it out?
[23:26] <Pelo> squarebracket, I'm not very knowledgable about ipod stuff,  I recommend you give the forum a search , most problems are probably covered
[23:26] <jeff__> thanks pelo!
[23:26] <atomdog2003> sayers: right
[23:26] <Pelo> squarebracket, blkid in the terminal
[23:26] <Pelo> jeff__,  np
[23:26] <JanC> effie_jayx: I guess there might be drivers for other Epson dot-matrix printers that work better--maybe contact the openprinting.org people (e.g. Till Kampeter who works on the Ubuntu printer drivers) if they know more about it
[23:26] <squarebracket> pelo: alright, i'll do that. thanks for the help.
[23:26] <atomdog2003> sayers: I used "cat" to write the contents of a file to another
[23:26] <|SEF|> Jowi:  Hmmm, I'm a bit reluctant to connect my PC directly to the modem because I have heard that machines should always be connected to the Internet via a router if I'm using high speed
[23:27] <PirateHead> pvl: run the command "uname -m"
[23:27] <Jowi> |SEF|, if you run a standard ubuntu install you should be quite safe.
[23:27] <PirateHead> pvl: If you're on x64, it should say "i686_64"
[23:27] <norv> |SEF|: that also only applies when you have a router with firewall/NAT
[23:27] <jakel1> oops... i lost my bottom panel... the one that shows the icons when a window is minimized . how can i get it back
[23:27] <|SEF|> Jowi: I have a Windows dualbooting but I am on Ubuntu right now; should that be a problem?
[23:27] <beezelbub> is there something like menumeters (on mac) for ubuntu? i've tried system monitor, but that doesn't really cut it for me.
[23:28] <pvl> PirateHead, says it cant find the command
[23:28] <Pelo> |SEF|, I'm connected directly to a modem, the trick with the router is that you don'T need to put the connection info in the comp and you do not need to wait for the comp to connect after you restart
[23:28] <PirateHead> pvl: no such command as uname? That should be installed by default.
[23:28] <WinterWeaver> jakeli, <alt><f1> .... get you into the menu....
[23:28] <Pelo> beezelbub, what does menumeters do ?
[23:28] <pvl> PirateHead, oops i ran it wrong, forgot to take of the quotes
[23:28] <norv> well menumeters is GPL, always a chance it could build with GNUStep's libraries
[23:28] <WinterWeaver> jakeli, then... I think... it's .... accesories >> add panel
[23:29] <Jowi> |SEF|, no problem. but great you can doublecheck if windows has got internet connection through the router.
[23:29] <pvl> PirateHead, i686 means?
[23:29] <|SEF|> norv: I'm not sure that my router has that actually, thanks for bringing it up
[23:29] <|SEF|> Pelo: Thanks!
[23:29] <PirateHead> pvl: That means you're on an x86 machine, or 32-bit.
[23:29] <beezelbub> Pelo: it's like system monitor but easier to grok: http://www.ragingmenace.com/software/menumeters/#sshot
[23:29] <|SEF|> Jowi: The other computer (on Windows) is connected to the Internet right now
[23:29] <jakel1> WinterWeaver... I have a new panel... but it doesn't show the windows when i minimize them....
[23:29] <jakel1> they just disappear
[23:29] <|SEF|> Jowi: it's also connected to the router via a wire
[23:29] <pvl> PirateHead, k thanks!
[23:29] <WinterWeaver> jakeli ... right click on the panel
[23:30] <WinterWeaver> customize
[23:30] <jakel1> ok
[23:30] <andreas> hello
[23:30] <WinterWeaver> find the "window List" applet
[23:30] <jakel1> there is no customize.. but there is properties
[23:30] <Jowi> |SEF|, ok. i misunderstood. If you call the ISP, the first thing they will do is to tell you to connect straight to the modem anyway so you can try that (I would).
[23:30] <andreas> i have a file tha i want to be password protected
[23:30] <andreas> how do i do that?
[23:30] <PirateHead> andreas: Encrypt it.
[23:30] <Pelo> beezelbub, if you are just looking for the graphs there are gdesklets and screenlets that can give you that, and a few pannel aps will give you similar info
[23:30] <andreas> can you be more specific pls?
[23:30] <WinterWeaver> jakeli.. sorry... add to panel
[23:30] <Pelo> beezelbub, also conky and gkrllm I thnk it is called
[23:31] <|SEF|> Jowi: OK, hang on, I'll be d/c'd for a bit
[23:31] <WinterWeaver> jakeli... find it?
[23:31] <beezelbub> Pelo: thanks, i'll look into those
[23:31] <WinterWeaver> jakeli .. sorry ... i'm not in the gnome atm
[23:31] <andreas> hello anybody?????????
[23:32] <WinterWeaver> jakeli... so I'm not exactly sure what the menu's is called
[23:32] <Pelo> hello andreas
[23:32] <Jowi> andreas, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-or-unix-password-protecting-files.html
[23:32] <Pelo> andreas, you were not being ignored,  this is a busy channel
[23:32] <andreas> sorry
[23:32] <cornixx> Hm, how do I access shared NFS folders from another linux system
[23:32] <cornixx> ?
[23:33]  * Pelo can recall when there were only 1000 ppl in this channel
[23:33] <taggie> cornixx, use the gnome "places" menu, and select "Connect to Server"
[23:33] <cornixx> ah, k, thx! :)
[23:34] <py77> a
[23:34] <norv> how hard would it be to do something like wrap Carbon apps in gtk? I know wrapping QT with GTK failed miserably
[23:34] <taggie> np. it's way too easy these days. :)
[23:35] <WinterWeaver> jakeli, you still there?
