<GeekToe> does the ubuntu setup utility have the ability to partition a drive?
<LjL> graham: "mount | grep hdb" to be sure it's not mounted
<rambo3> what is hdb shouldent it be hdb1 if its partition
<graham> what should it say
<graham> nothing?
<LjL> yeah i guess that ought to be hdbX
<Ace2005> The two computers are connected via a crossover lan cable
<Apoll013> GeekToe: yes, but since it's based on cfdisk, they count in 1000's not in 1024's
<LjL> graham: nothing, if it's not mounted. but then rambo3 is right, you need a partition
<GeekToe> ah, okay
<GeekToe> so how big should I make the ubuntu parition?
<gerst> Ace2005: By default, this package configures the system as a basic forwarding firewall, with IP spoofing and stuffed routing protection.
<GeekToe> partition*
<gerst> just run it
<gerst> should be work
<Protocol1> GeekToe: half the size of your hd
<gerst> it worked for me
<GeekToe> ok Protocol1
<Ace2005> gerst: so just restart both systems? (the other is XP) or what?
<Apoll013> GeekToe: I have 3 GB /root, 1 GB /var, remaining space /home
<graham> YAY
<graham> thanks guys
<GeekToe> and Apoll013 how big is your hd?
<gerst> i didnt restarted the XP
<phiber_optic> does anyone know how would I gzip all .jpg files?
<graham> can u partition it in a way to easily upgrade to dapper
<rambo3> *.jpg
<Apoll013> i got 2 80GB,s (but win, FreeBSD, and 3 different Linux-Flacors on it
<CyberSDF> hello all
<sorush20> how do I make an alternate nickname?
<lysis_> sorush20, for what?
<sorush20> lysis_: for irc freenod?
<gerst> just make the default gateway right..
<phiber_optic> sorush20 type /nick
<phiber_optic> sorush20 type /nick nickyouwant
<GeekToe> ok Apoll013, I have 1 80gb drive, which currently has windows on, so I make 40gb of that space for ubuntu
<phiber_optic> does anyone know how would I gzip all .jpg files?
<lysis_> sorush20, the ALTERNATE can be done in the server list. i'm ***uming you're using Xchat
<saerdna> i whish adobe could release creative suite 2 for linux
<saerdna> and macromedia could release flash for linux
<sorush20> but I want to have two or three nick names registered to my email..
<Apoll013> GeekToe: no, that's too much
<GeekToe> 20gb?
<LjL> sorush20: /msg nickserv help, there's a way to do that
<graham> i really wanna use this geexbox but i think its in french
<lysis_> GeekToe, i have a 10gb / a 10gb windows and an 85gb shared.
<LjL> sorush20: i think you should use the "link" nickserv command. there's FAQs about that on the freenode site
<howcome[s]> uh oh
<Apoll013> GeekToe: if it's not to complex, spread the system over 3 partitions...
<ZoneJump> 1TB windows
<howcome[s]> i did something stupid
<CyberSDF> on a laptop with a ethernet card BCM4401 i can't join my DHCP server with Breezy (live or installed) ; But it's work with Knoppix.
<GeekToe> Apoll013, how?
<howcome[s]> Removing kubuntu-desktop ...
<howcome[s]> Removing kdm ...
<howcome[s]> Removing x-window-system-core ...
<GeekToe> windows|data|linux?
<howcome[s]> This cant be good....
<_jason> sorush20: I think the freenode faq answer that question
<Apoll013> GeekToe: you'll never need more than 3 GB for the core system
<rambo3> http://geexbox.org/en/index.html french?
<graham> yer
<graham> well all the guides are
<sorush20> _jason: it does but a bit vague?
<GeekToe> Apoll013, I have Partition Magic, should I partition the drive now or when in ubuntu installer?
<Apoll013> put /var on a separate partion (for not being able to eat up all space in /root)
<graham> what is in /var??
<Outlook> How Long dose it take for the Ubuntu Cd's to be shipped out ?
<_jason> sorush20: seems like part 5 tells you the exact command, but I haven't done this myself
<vbhanu> Hi, is there any option in mplayer with whcih i can start playing with a lower volume and not the full voume, later i should be able to increase the volume to full using the * key
<gerst> http://geexbox.org/en/index.html
<Apoll013> GeekToe: refrain from PartMag....
<CyberSDF> nobody can't help me ?
<GeekToe> so Apoll013 will the ubuntu installer allow me to make the other 2 partitions?
<Apoll013> the problem is, that the BIOS values for HD-sizes are interpreted differently from Part-Mag (and windows) and linux
<j2daosh> what im client can i use other then gaim to access google and yahoo ims?
<j2daosh> CyberSDF, what is the problem?
<welp_lappy> j2daosh: amsn
<Apoll013> yep, hold on a second, i'll paste you my layout in pastebin (for orintation only)
<phiber_optic> can anybody know how can I gzip all files with extension .zip instead of putting just one by one?
<j2daosh> amsn will go to yahoo and google?
<GeekToe> okay Apoll013
<welp_lappy> j2daosh: it supports webcams and custom smilies too
<CyberSDF> j2daosh: my network don't work with breezy but work fine on knoppix.
<j2daosh> really...
<graham> so have a /root partition and a /var partition and then a data partition?
<welp_lappy> j2daosh: dunno :S
<j2daosh> CyberSDF, what do you mean... are u using that computer right now?
<LjL> phiber_optic: you need to use "tar" to merge all the files into a single file, and then use "gzip" on the .tar file created
<POVaddct> phiber_optic: you want to gzip files that are already zipped?
<LjL> phiber_optic: but i don't get the ".zip" extention thing... that's for ZIP files, not gzip files
<phiber_optic> LjL but how would I do that I dont really remember
<rambo3> CyberSDF what kind of network
<CyberSDF> j2daosh: not this one, a laptop :-) When i plug it on my network it can't join my DHCP server
<phiber_optic> lets say I want to tar all the JPG files from my home directory
<LjL> phiber_optic: "tar -cf blah.tar directory/", followed by "gzip blah.tar". this will get you a "blah.tar.gz"
<CyberSDF> rambo3: ethernet
<LjL> phiber_optic: at least that's how i do it, but then if you "man tar" you'll see there are shortcuts
<phiber_optic> I know that way but lets say I dont have it on a directory
<Frogzoo_away> phiber_optic: tar czf archive.tar.gz *.zip
<j2daosh> do you have it setup to get the dhcp info automatically or did you set permentant addresses?
<rambo3> what does sudo cat /etc/network/interfaces say
<j2daosh> is your dhcp server allowing connections
<phiber_optic> thanx frogzoo
<phiber_optic> and LjL
<CyberSDF> rambo3: on knoppix or breezy ?
<rambo3> breezy
<j2daosh> is your hardware setup correctly?
<CyberSDF> rambo3: 2s i reboot
<welp_lappy> how do i install a .deb file that i downloaded? i know it's something to do with dpkg but...
<rambo3> -i
<_jason> !deb
<ubotu> To install a deb: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
<welp_lappy> thanks :)
<Frogzoo_away> !deb
<phiber_optic> tar -czf Images.tar.gz *.jpg
<phiber_optic> tar: No match.
<recon00> Does anybody know how to use vim in a x window instead of a terminal?
<Frogzoo_away> phiber_optic: ls *.jpg
<_jason> recon00: install gvim
<_jason> recon00: vim-gnome I think is the package name
<phiber_optic> upss shut I dont have any...
<howcome[s]> cd / | sudo chown -R root * &
<phiber_optic> my bad
<rambo3> Wildcards can *not* be used directly in tar commands.
<Protocol1> uh oh
<_jason> rambo3: what do you mean?
<Apoll013> GeekToe: read this: http://pastebin.com/528789
<rambo3> host% tar -cf t.tar `ls *.log`
<rambo3> or host% tar -cf t.tar `find *.log -print`
<Protocol1> i really want to get my java working on my computer
<welp_lappy> GAH!!!! i can't install amsn!! :'( c'est UNFAIR!!
<GeekToe> ok Apoll013
<LjL> rambo3: why not? tar says it can take an arbitrary number of filenames
<funkyHat> howcome[s], that's an odd place to put a pipe...
<rambo3> i just copy pasted it from tar wiki
<welp_lappy> anyone know how to install amsn on amd64?
<ivan> heeeeey
<howcome[s]> perhaps
<LjL> rambo3: i think that's what you need if you want to scan files *recursively*, so that you'll tar "*.log" files in subdirectories as well
<howcome[s]> Currently: 666 users on #ubuntu
<howcome[s]> damn, there was till ivan left
<LjL> rambo3: but if you just want files from one single directory, and not its subdirs, a wildcard ought to work fine
<graham> lol
<funkyHat> howcome[s], you probably want a ; or && instead of | ;)
<GeekToe> Apoll013, I see
<pdr> wildcards are processed by the shell, not tar so it shouldn't make any difference to tar. That's probably why it says "directly" in your quote above
<Dreamglider> i have a audigy 2 soundcard, and there are about 100 channles/tracks, how can i fix this so i only have the ones i can use, master vol, line in, line out, mic, rear, front, center, optical and stuff ?
<LjL> pdr: true, but then that probably applies to most or all commands one normally uses
<Apoll013> GeekToe: the idea (with 2 Disks) is parallelizing the accesses, withou using raid0
