<0> !seen neutrinom***
<1> neutrinom*** is currently on #ubuntu (2h 10m 24s)
<2> rabidphage: sure
<3> Thanks, I'll go for Mplayer.
<0> !seen thoreauputic
<1> thoreauputic <n=prospero@ubuntu/member/thoreauputic> was last seen on IRC in channel #kubuntu, 18h 44m 45s ago, saying: ':)'.
<4> how can i make a program autostart and "respawn" automatically
<5> Samus_Aran: how long does it take to configure the kernel
<6> _Mr_Denix_: I'm here :)
<0> hello neutrinom*** :)
<6> _Mr_Denix_: Everything OK today I presume :) ?
<7> any tips on a good torrent client besides the ubuntu default and azureus?
<8> Ayabara: ktorrent
<8> build it from source.
<8> ktorrent 2 beta is a good client
<9> ubuntu default = bittorrent?
<6> ToHellWithGA: Why should he build from source? It's in the repos.
<0> neutrinom***: :)) you seem rather scared ! lol everything's ok and I'm trying to learn new stuff ! (at the moment looking for a chat client yahoo compatbile with webcam support)
<9> or some tnomey thing?
<5> Samus_Aran: Any ideas??
<9> err, gnomey
<6> _Mr_Denix_: Not scared, concerned ;)
<7> ToHellWithGA: anytime I hear build from source I can't help but shiver ;-)
<8> neutrinom***: because 2 beta isn't in the repositories and it's a new program
<10> help! i've changed my root partition and now when i try to reboot i get a grub error 17... i think i have to register the offset of the kernel or something ..... can anyone tell me how to do it?
<8> Ayabara: install it from the repositories, remove it, and build it
<2> rabidphage: depends on how many options you decide to modify
<8> then you'll have all of the dependencies left behind for sure
<2> rabidphage: anywhere from a few minutes to several hours
<0> neutrinom*** thank you for your concern ! really appreciate it
<0> :)
<6> ToHellWithGA: Well, unless it's neccessary he shouldn't be compiling from source... thigs might break during upgrades etc.
<8> Ayabara: if you /msg me then i could feed you commands
<8> neutrinom***: that's what "checkinstall" is for
<6> ToHellWithGA: Not to mention that it's Beta software for a reason ;)
<8> it's an ugly way to make something easy to remove
<11> hola
<6> ToHellWithGA: Hm.. yes, that is an option as well ...
<8> holla omar
<5> Samus_Aran: So is the defaults selected already?? i havent started configuring .. just done the source patching
<12> i have installed the new ubuntu6: when i would like to use a geforce 6800 gt must i install any other drivers?
<2> rabidphage: it is fun to go through the entire kernel config at least once, reading the descriptions as you go, so you can be aware of what the Linux kernel is actually capable of these days ... course that's the method that will take you half a day =p
<2> rabidphage: if all you want to do is change one or two options, use the distros kernel as your base
<2> rabidphage: grab the kernel config out of /boot to start with in that case
<2> rabidphage: copy it to your /usr/src/linux/.config
<11> hola tohellwithga
<5> Samus_Aran: yup i'm using the distro base kernel. coz i'm a noob and i don't know much about acpi and stuff. the vanilla seems to be in the dark regarding such finer points ;)
<8> lol @ omar, dropping in to say hi to a stranger then leaving
<13> rabidphage it is not in the dark, you are and it is shining just too bright, but hope is there cause your eyes will adapt :)
<2> ifxx: if you don't need any hardware accelleration, then use the "nv" driver that Ubuntu/Xorg defaults to. if you want hardware accelleration (OpenGL games and apps) then install the nVIDIA binary drivers, available through synaptic (though you may need to add the universe or multiverse repositories, not sure)
<5> squiddle: hi there.. true...:(
<14> how do you change/install themes?
<15> I just copied over my old Home folder and now Firefox and Synaptic wont run. Did i mess up ??!
<14> and the Login manager?
<16> could be
<17> !tell _absolution_ about themes
<4> how can i make a program to restart automatically like metacity?
<15> _absolution_: System / Preferences / theme
<5> squiddle: however i've read somewhere the battery status don't work with the vanilla kernel
<15> so how did i mess up?!
<13> rabidphage yeah sometimes you need some patches :)
<2> brrrt: I do something similar with ICE Window Manager, I just have a wrapper script called lock-icewm and it keeps reloading my icewm after it closes or crashes (until I remove the lockfile in /tmp). it's just a Bash script that keeps running it in a loop
<13> nicholaspaul if it worked before and now it stopped, than most likely somehting got wrong. start with using your working home and copy your backup one folder after another
<15> squiddle: ok, that makes sense. tanks.
<2> brrrt: such as this: while [ -e "$Lockfile" ]; do icewm; sleep 1s; done
<18> hello, how i can fully utilize cpu's during compilation when i've multiple processors installed ?
<13> lupz make -J <yount of processors +1>
<8> is there an equivalent to DOS .bat files in linux?
<5> Samus_Aran: so does that mean in order to get the defaults, it is mandatory to copy the old .config from /boot to /usr/src/linux/.config???
<18> squiddle, thanks :)
<19> hm, what is the differency between ubuntu and ubuntu server, I going to use a computer as small headless fileserver and some other simple stuff, but I am a newbie, should I go for server edition?
<19> I am
<20> question: how can i restart my eth0 interface /etc/init.d/??
<16> Arabian: the server doesn't have x window manger (only command line)
<21> ifup\ifdown
<22> anyone know how I can recover files from a corrupt NTFS partition that both linux and windows refuse to mount. I can recover them with windows recovery programs, but would like to learn how to do it in linux. Also, I want to recover the files without bothering about restoring the partition itself. Thanks.
<19> dionysos: thanks, than that p***es... going for the desktop
<22> ToHellWithGA, not sure, but you mean a .sh file?
<19> then
<16> lol :p
<15> squiddle: prob is, i dont have my 'old' Home (!) and Firefox wont run either...
<15> Guess I'm reinstalling!!
<2> rabidphage: unless Ubuntu placed it there for you already, yes
<8> Meshezabeel: is that what it would be?
<13> nicholaspaul just start with an empty home
<8> i've never used a .sh file
<8> (except in building i guess)
<2> rabidphage: I am new to Ubuntu, so I am not sure of the specific method of custom compile here
<15> squiddle: ok.
<19> nice downloading speed 800k down
<23> ToHellWithGA, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_script
<2> rabidphage: the best method would be to build a kernel package, though. that way synaptic (or whatever package manager you use) would show your custom kernel as installed
<24> is there some kind of cleanup command that will remove all broken packages or something like that ?
<5> Samus_Aran: Thanks a lot mate..
<8> thanks afflux and Meshezabeel
<25> Does anyone have Eterm working with artwiz fonts? I'm using the -F parameter and it doesn't seem to be taking effect.
<15> squiddle: should i logout/in before trying anything, like running firefox (which doesnt work still!)?
<2> ToHellWithGA: an .sh file is a set of Bash or Unix SH commands. it just runs them from top to bottom, as if you had typed them into the terminal.
<2> rabidphage: there will surely be a page on the Wiki explaining the proper way to configure and compile a custom kernel
<2> rabidphage: I strongly recommend doing a search there
<8> Samus_Aran: thanks as well. do you know if it will pause for input (like if i were to include a sudo command and not be within the p***word keeping time window)
<5> squiddle: could you help me with the kernel compilation?? the question is do i have to copy /boot/.config to /usr/src/linux to get the defaults or will there be any indication during the boot process?
<5> squiddle: scratch boot process to configuration process
<2> ToHellWithGA: do you mean writing your own .sh and calling sudo from it ?
<8> Samus_Aran: mhmm
<13> rabidphage yes, take the .config from /boot/
<8> exactly that
<2> ToHellWithGA: when you run the .sh file, it will be just like you are typing in the commands one after another in Bash. it will wait for one command to finish before running the next one
<5> Samus_Aran: i've been looking around. no luck so far..
<8> that's great Samus_Aran. thanks
<26> hm, another thing...should I take xubuntu if I just want to use the computer as a server, I am not going to use it for anything else anyways
<27> Gradius9: the ubuntu server install is preferable
<17> Gradius9 you can get the server install CD
<2> ToHellWithGA: also note that in UNIX file extensions mean very little. you don't need to name your scripts .sh, it can be any name. just set the file "executable", which tells the system it is meant to be run: chmod a+x filename (or right-click on it and go to properties)
<26> apokryphos: I am a newbie with linux so I need that windows interface
<27> Gradius9: ok, sure; xubuntu will do the job
<25> Does anyone have Eterm working with artwiz fonts? I'm using the -F parameter and it doesn't seem to be taking effect.
<28> I'm mounting an smb share via Places -> Connect to Server and every time I save a file the permissions get reset to 764. what gives?
<2> rabidphage: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelBuildpackageDetailedHowto
<26> apokryphos: so you recommend it over the other linux because it uses fewer resources?
<2> rabidphage: there you go: "How-to create a custom Ubuntu Linux kernel package"
<0> neutrinom*** : you're ready for another round ? :))
<29> i can't get apache2 to ru, and there is no error message!
<22> ToHellWithGA, follow the Unix Shell Scripting Tutorial at the bottom of the wikipedia link, it will give you what you need
<27> Gradius9: yes
<22> ToHellWithGA, user input examples, etc
<2> ToHellWithGA: after you set your script as executable, you should stick it in one of the directories in your $PATH if you want to be able to run it from anywhere
<7> running ./configure when installing ktorrent I get the following : checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!
<26> apokryphos: the only difference is the lighter window manager and fewer desktop apps, the rest is the same?
<7> any ideas?
<8> it's actually just gonna be a simple script to auto-download and install something
<2> ToHellWithGA: or else you need to specify what directory it is in, each time you run the command, for example: /home/joe/scripts/myscript.sh
<27> Gradius9: correct, the base is the same
<30> is there documentation somewhere on what kinds of special installs the "alternate install CD" can do?
<26> apokryphos: ok many questions here :), but it has the same samba / vnc / ssh / drivers etc.?
<2> ToHellWithGA: simple scripts are the way it all starts =) pretty soon you'll realise it is very easy to do useful and time-saving things without much in a script
<27> Gradius9: I'd certainly presume so. If not, it's always very easy to get.
<31> so i un-checked "wireless" in the networkmanager applet menu, and now it isn't in my menu any more to re-enable...how can I get it back?
<29> I can use sudo apachectl start but the init script doesn't work
<2> ToHellWithGA: and if you keep doing little scripts here and there, after a few years you'll realise you can do almost anything with a console script, and you'll be annoyed every time you use a Windows system and don't have your Bash handy =p
<0> does synaptic open tar.bz2 ?
<8> Samus_Aran and Meshezabeel, thanks again.
<2> ToHellWithGA: welcome
<32> is networkmanager broken in dapper?
<25> _Mr_Denix_ do 'man tar' in a terminal
<8> on another note, how can i get the terminal to automagically add "sudo" to commands which need sudo?
<25> Does anyone have Eterm working with artwiz fonts? I'm using the -F parameter and it doesn't seem to be taking effect.
<0> fcalise thanks
<9> ToHellWithGA, use "alias"
<8> alias would make it so i could type "apt-get blah blah" and the shell would think it received "sudo apt-get"?
<25> _Mr_Denix_, I think you can do tar -jxvf file.tar.bz2
