Comments:

<0> Hobbsee: Ok, thanks :)
<1> Anyone good with dpkg here?
<2> echostorm: Linux does not write reliably to NTFS drives.
<2> It can break your disk.
<3> gavagai, yes but that install mac doesn't it?
<4> Concord_Dawn: any idea about the macbooks?
<5> echostorm, You can only read NTFS, make a FAT32 partition
<3> pianoboy3333, im sorta familiar whats ur prob?
<2> ehj20: It should work.
<6> pianoboy3333, just ask ur question and find out
<0> echostorm: It's a good idea not to write on NTFS partitions, it's quite experimental. You might want to set up a FAT partition to share between the two OS ... Or alternatively, there's some program for Windows that allows you to read/write ext2 partitions....
<7> is it a bad idea to have a gksudo prompt open up on each and every start up of EasyUbuntu?
<4> h3sp4wn: okay, cheers
<8> if you want to write to ntfs, you should really use captive
<1> meherenOS-X: Matthewv: Anyone here good with using dpkg, dpkg reports that I have a package not fully removed or installed, how can I locate using some sort of dpkg filter and remove it?
<9> crap. should I change it to a fat32? I need win2k on here, I just dont want to run it except when i get the specifc programs from work (they dont work properly with vmware, serial port issues)



<6> kbrooks, why not? update-manager does...
<2> echostorm: If you're trying to recover files off of your NTFS drive, the best way to do it is to make a Fat32 partition and copy everything off of the NTFS drive.
<3> sudo dpkgt --configure -a
<3> dpkg
<8> echostorm: use fat32
<3> sry
<9> ok
<3> not dpkgt
<9> Il reinstall windows with a fat32 partition
<2> echostorm: NTFS is better if you're using a Windows NT only environment.
<2> Unfortunately, it's proprietary to Windows and is a m***ive pain if working with any other operating systems.
<1> meherenOS-X: yes... I have this bug currently on my system: https://launchpad.net/bugs/46530
<7> Matthewv: well
<9> yeah, im used to ntfs... been a long tim since i used fat32
<7> Matthewv: people can copy and redistribute easyubuntu
<10> pianoboy3333: OK, do this "dpkg -l | grep iF"
<8> there's not really anything different about ntfs functionally...unless you use encryption
<3> pianoboy3333, just a sec i don't have any browsers open
<1> Warbo: ok, what did that do?
<6> kbrooks, what happens if someone runs easyubuntu on kubuntu?
<7> Matthewv: so there is a chance that a person will redistribute easyubuntu with malicious code in it
<10> pianoboy3333: Did anything come up?
<1> Warbo: oh, that was a grep command, no it didn't return anythin
<11> hi guys... i was just wondering do we need antivirus n firewall for ubuntu?
<12> can anyone here help me with getting an update to clamav from version 0.78.1 to 0.88.2 ... I tried the help but don't understand it ... The ClamAV forum sent me here
<10> pianoboy3333: Hmmm. How about "dpkg -l | grep iU"
<1> Warbo: yes
<3> pianoboy3333, beyond me :P
<13> myworld122, antivirus, no
<10> pianoboy3333: What came up?
<1> Warbo: python-subversion
<1> ah, ok
<1> I think I'll be ok once I remove that
<11> gavagai: where can i get a decent firewall?
<14> I'm having some problems with apache2 and dapper... The daemons don't seem to start... apache seems to work fine, but not apache2.... any suggestions?
<6> kbrooks, oh i see.... but running it the current way does exactly the same, doesn't it... running 'sudo python easyubuntu.py' allows any malicious code to be executed anyway
<10> pianoboy3333: That is the broken one the (if it has "iU" as it's status (normally it is "ii"))
<9> bah time to boot up partition magic cya later guys thanx for the advice
<13> myworld122, i just switched from another linux to ubuntu so i'm not sure what people here recommend, but for a GUI interface i think firestarter is good
<13> myworld122, is your ubuntu system behind a router/
<11> gavagai: i'm behind a NAT enabled router
<13> then i would not bother if this is just your home setup
<10> pianoboy3333: Now I need to remove language-pack-de (which I installed in order to break, so I could do "dpkg -l | grep pack-de" and see what status broken packages are given) :)
<11> yep...home setup
<11> thanks!
<13> no firewall then
<13> :)
<15> xchat gnome is so cool :)
<15> but the upgrade didn't install it for me to replace cruddy old xchat
<10> joachim-n: It crashes for me :(
<13> pffft, graphical irc. heh
<7> Matthewv: well, won't, if the "sudo" is removed, the malicious code only "infect" your homre direcctory and all files and directories owned by you
<16> myworld122: If your router is on http://toh.openwrt.org - as supported I would help you install that onto it (linux for routers)
<15> not just graphical -- NICE graphical
<17> how can I share the mounted HD partitions from windows in ubuntu live over the network?
<15> ie, doesn't quit on ctrl-A
<6> joachim-n, I prefer plain xchat or irssi :)
<15> plain xcht is a usbility nightmare
<18> i can't see hidden files from windoze on my dvd
<13> irssi is my fave
<18> any advice?



<19> Matthewv: if you're running unauthenticated code as superuser, well, you get what you ask for - that's what pgp & package signing is for
<8> irssi proxy > *
<5> gavagai, mmmm irssi :-P I'm using it now
<3> what exactly does pearPc do?
<6> kbrooks, but the instructions on the easyubuntu website say to run 'sudo python easyubuntu.py' and 99% of users will just run that, without inspecting the code first or whatever else you wan't them to do :)
<8> meherenOS-X: what are you trying to do?
<19> Matthewv: do easyubuntu publish the md5 for the code?
<6> Frogzoo, thanks, but maybe kbrooks will find that more useful
<20> moin
<3> sparkleytone, that doesn't answer my question but oh well i want to run itunes/quicktime
<21> I installed some software via Synaptic. How do I find out where that software has been installed to?
<12> can anyone here help me with getting an update to clamav from version 0.78.1 to 0.88.2 ... I tried the help but don't understand it ... The ClamAV forum sent me here
<15> it's a real shame the gksudo bug with themes hasnt been fixed
<7> Frogzoo: not yet
<7> Frogzoo: maybe that could be useful
<3> on my ubuntu box it's a i686 P 4 2.16 gighz
<20> ich habe hier ein sehr interessantes problem, ich kann alle seiten pingen aber wenn ich die gleiche seite versuche mit firefox zu ffnen bekomme ich keinen timeout
<13> chicken-man, do you use any cool scripts for irssi? i have nickcolor and trackbar, those are good
<8> meherenOS-X: on what? linux? on ppc or intel hw?
<7> Frogzoo: but thats not an indicator of malicious code
<3> dell inspirion 8200
<5> My ubuntu 6.06 does not boot, I get's stuck at mounting root filesystem...
<19> kbrooks: well call me paranoid, but without an md5 sum or a pgp signature, I won't run anything will root privs
<3> Im running ubuntu
<22> Someone use Wine for playing Steam (counter-strike) ? ty
<23> hi, i'm looking for help with pdf printing in dapper because i can't find in in printing configuration in gnome
<20> sorry wrong channel
<7> Frogzoo: sorry, s/indicator/definitive \1/
<19> !tell aalya_ about appdb
<5> gavagai, Nope, I just install it :-)
<10> chicken-man: Where is it installed? (what kind of device)
<17> does anyone know? how can I share the mounted HD partitions from windows in ubuntu live over the network?
<3> i don't have winblows
<24> hey guys, how do I uninstall software installed w/ easyubuntu specifically Java????
<5> Warbo, it's not installed
<13> chicken-man, irssi has an APT like system for installing scripts, it is cool.
<10> Mysta: Use Synaptic
<18> how can i access files hidden with windows. i have enabled the show hidden files from ubuntu but i still can't see them
<7> Mysta: you can't.
<5> Warbo, I'm talking about when you first run the disk
<8> only way i know is codeweavers meherenOS-X
<10> chicken-man: The LiveCD won't boot?
<5> Warbo, Indeed
<8> i just don't run generic hw ;)
<7> Mysta: from within easyubuntu, you cannot uninstall software
<1> Anyone program python and use the curses module? I can't seem to find the function that will resize a window.
<3> sparkleytone, I want to do this the (hard) free way
<10> chicken-man: OK, well I am not very familiar with the LiveCD's boot process sorry
<7> pianoboy3333: hang on
<5> Warbo, hehe :-P
<1> kbrooks: ok
<3> but just outa curiosity what does pearPc do?
<24> kbrooks: im aware, the java that it installed doesnt work w/ an application i want to use, so i want to get rid of it
<19> meherenOS-X: google would know...
<8> it emulates x86 for ppc macs
<3> Frogzoo, lol ok
<5> I have to say 6.06 is the worst version so far, thats why I'm using Debian at the moment
<8> meherenOS-X: ^
<10> meherenOS-X: PearPC emulates a PowerPC system (it makes a computer built out of software)
<8> oh...
<8> the other way around
<25> any one any idea , I have nofirewall or anything i can connect to ssh using 192.168.1.5 but not my ip any ideas?
<6> anyone know what to do when fsck produces errors on the root hard drive every other week... my hdd gets mounted read only, and then a restart will result in having to run a manual fsck
<12> :( ... can someone here please help me with getting an update to clamav from version 0.78.1 to 0.88.2 ... I tried the help but don't understand it ... The ClamAV forum sent me here
<18> how can i access files hidden with windows. i have enabled the show hidden files from ubuntu but i still can't see them
<26> heh, he says no firewall or anything..get em boys :)
<19> bobz: you need to run an sshd
<6> BenPA, you running clamav from the ubuntu repositories, or?
<12> yes
<19> bobz: & then PLEASE filter access to the port
<27> When i run $ locale, my it complains about: locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory What can I do to fix this?
<10> b14ck: Ubuntu uses a different hiding system from Windows, so files hidden in windows should be visible in Ubuntu normally (without turning on "show hidden files")
<3> Warbo, in other words it allows you to run PPC OSes and software on a i386 machine?
<28> Matthewv: that usually means your harddrive is dying
