<1> smart bot huh
<2> pappan, wow. must be some sort of secret
<3> ubotu tell pappan about ubuntu
<1> it also serves drinks after 5pm
<4> he likes you pappan
<2> or like, a cheat code.
<4> :)
<5> problem
<3> !botsnack
<6> thanks gnomefreak :)
<4> or she, we don't really know
<7> hi there! I need som urgent help....I wanted to change the home dir for my root user, to another hdd, everything was right, except that i managed to write h instead of H.
<5> my optical mouse does not work , it is not even lit up
<8> ?
<9> Hi guys! Let me user the CoC: I'm upgrading a pc to breezy, and many messagess are appearing saying as in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8549 . What should I do? thank you!



<10> HELP!
<7> So now I need to change that from terminal...and I don't know how to do that
<5> lol left and right click work
<10> I just installed ubuntu and forgot the root p***word
<1> hehe
<4> Ahaha: no you didn't :) there isn't one
<11> how to prevent a deletion of a package that aptitude insist to uninstall
<4> ubotu: tell Ahaha about root
<12> adub, good luck :) buy a new card perhaps
<1> Ahaha: there isnt one
<3> paolob_: you should try to reset your locales (language
<3> )*
<10> or as I recall, the installation didn't ask me for root p***word
<4> Ahaha: the bot sent you some info in a private emssage
<2> wow... the luge is a cool winter sport...
<13> rapha, yeah what's up with that? I just tried myself, why did they disable the single most important piece of functionality?
<10> ?
<9> Ahaha, boot in recovery mode, and there you issue p***wd
<11> !aptitude
<8> As fully stated in the install guide, there is no root p***word.
<10> so, how can I do "su" now?
<9> gnomefreak, how do I reset locales?
<14> Ahaha, use sudo <program> and type in the p***word you gave the user that you created when installing
<15> thegladiator well its a laptop that would involve soldiering
<16> AskHL: use 'sudo' instead
<4> Ahaha: read your private message and learn all this
<10> Oh, yeah
<1> Ahaha: use su then enter your user p***word
<10> I remembered that special one :D
<10> Thanks
<16> IdleOne: bzzzzt wrong!
<14> Ahaha, sudo -s will give you a root terminsal
<2> !root
<6> By default, the root p***word is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
<1> I meant sudo
<16> IdleOne: 'su' only works if you have the root p***word
<1> sorry dooglus
<3> enabled*
<5> omg this ****s , i need my mouse
<16> IdleOne: welcome to wrongland. population: you
<16> :)
<13> dooglus, why would running gthumb as su be better?
<1> dooglus: you are welcome to come visit and make lunch
<3> paolob_: sudo dpkg-reconfiure locales is a good place to start :)
<3> reconfigure*
<9> gnomefreak, ok, thank you!
<10> Still need root pwd....
<10> Hix
<5> !tell thefr34k about optical mouse
<1> Ahaha: enter the the user p***word you set at install
<3> paolob_: you might go into system>prefferences>language and there maybe language updates there
<5> aww
<5> it doesnt know
<3> if not preff than its admin
<5> does anyone here use an optical mouse
<16> AskHL: sorry?
<10> HAHA now I did it :D
<2> theFR34K, indeed i do
<3> theFR34K: yes
<16> AskHL: I didn't suggest using 'su' - I think that was the one standing in the corner with the pointy hat.



<1> Ahaha: wtg
<10> So, what does "sudo -s" mean?
<3> Ahaha: sudo -i is perfered
<16> AskHL: "man sudo" will tell you the answer to that. compare it with "sudo -i" while you're at it.
<10> Does it make me su?
<3> and it gives you root@hostname#
<17> what is sudo
<10> Yeah
<10> right
<4> ubotu: tell vanzway about sudo
<13> Oh, I wasn't referring to the "su" vs "sudo" discussion. I was referring to why they disabled the most useful key bindings in gthumb
<3> ubotu tell vanzway about sudo
<5> gnomefreak did you have to enable or set something up to get it to "light up "
<5> my buttons work fine, but the bottom is not lit, and ofcourse i cant move it around
<16> gnomefreak: if you use "sudo -i" then you can't run X apps
<3> theFR34K: you might have to config it in the xserver-xorg file
<2> theFR34K, what type of mouse is it?
<18> Greetings all ...
<5> micro international mouse
<5> with middle wheel/button
<17> ?
<3> dooglus: cant you? other than it not being a good idea?
<10> Another question: was anyone here able to ping by hostname from ubuntu to another comp?
<2> theFR34K, what does "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Protocol" return?
<10> I mean using netbios way
<5> no such file
<10> In redhat I used samba and mod the nsswitch.conf
<16> gnomefreak: sudo -i gives you root's environment - ie. do "DISPLAY", etc.
<19> Hello. Is it possible to update from breezy to dapper without major problems?
<3> dooglus: i tried it sorry i thought it would :(
<3> no
<16> Ox0000: it depends what day it is.
<3> Ox0000: expect problems
<19> gnomefreak, i do, but i'm asking if i can somehow work after upgrading...
<16> Ox0000: dapper is still changing a lot. it's working fine for me at the moment apart from 'udev', but ymmv.
<3> dooglus: give it a few more weeks and watch things fall to crap :)
<16> gnomefreak: why?
<3> dooglus: you dont remember last time they implemented the graphical stuff?
<19> gnomefreak, if i upgrade to dapper... is it possible to downgrade to breezy after?
<16> Ox0000: nope
<19> damn
<3> gnome panel issues and graphical issues X
<16> Ox0000: make a separate chroot and install in there - that's what I did, so I can switch between the 2 at will
<19> it's way to much risk to make an upgrade to dapper just for xgl ;)
<3> they have to impement it all over again ;)
<2> Ox0000, its best to get another HDD or another partition to install it on
<19> hum, how can i resize a dmcrypted partition? =)
<3> Toma-: and hope they dont screw up grub in the process :)
<2> gnomefreak, use the breezxy grub ;)
<2> -x
<20> slt
<15> is totem GUI based
<2> adub, indeed
<21> Hi guys! I just upgraded a pc to breezy, and I still have a 2.6.8.1 kernel. Is it right?
<22> paolob_: no
<3> paolob__: shouldnt be
<23> you didn't install any other kernel, so yeah
<3> paolob__: you didnt do something right
<2> paolob__, nope.
<23> you have to explicitly upgrade the kernel
<21> jetscreamer, how?
<23> apt-get install one
<3> jetscreamer: thats what dist-upgrade does :)
<3> !upgrade
<6> The guide to upgrading to breezy (5.10) is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade
<3> read that paolob__
<23> does it? ok
<24> what mplayer command should i run (in terminal) to make it play one mp3 file 3 times
<3> jetscreamer: yeah in terminal the only way to grab kernel updates is with dist-upgrade
<21> gnomefreak, I did that way!
<15> toma- cool I have a wide screen monitor i somewhat got xv to finally work but not sure if its working properly because the look of my video is a tad off i get full screen video but i have a wide screen laptop monitor and the top and the bottom of video is blackend when i go into full screen mode
<5> i am not the only one with this proble
