<0> does "su" stand for switch user, or super user?
<1> su = evilness :)
<2> skippy: yes
<3> switch user
<0> yeah but which hehe?
<0> ah kk
<0> :)
<4> skippy It stands for switch user.
<3> sudo is super user do iirc
<0> some of the linux commands have dodgy names
<5> I should learn to type my forum posts into a text editor first. All that typing and Ubuntuforums loses my session or something and fails to submit my post :P
<6> excerpt from man page > su - change user ID or become super-user
<0> apropos is the worst, i used to always forget it when i started learning
<0> when its the command you dont want to forget lol
<1> apropos never gives me what I want
<0> i find it really good
<3> man man
<1> must be a unixy guy :)
<7> i had it forgotten till now skippy :PP
<8> Which is the best FTP with Implicit SSL for Ubuntu? Is it vsFTPD?
<0> i dont think i could have learnt anything about linux without apropos, because when i started i didnt have a net connection
<9> has anyone here installed a broadcom 43xx wlan in dapper? the documentation i have found seems to be mainly for hoary
<10> " propos" is french for about :)
<5> goodnight all, thanks for the help
<0> hehe mikedouglas, i learn somthing new everyday :D
<11> hi
<12> xchat is better
<13> Agrajag: skippy: http://pastebin.ca/59496
<8> mikedouglas: And we all know what a "manage trois" is. ;-) (Speaking about french)
<1> merriam, I lived on the howtos from tldp.org & htdig
<3> hehhe sudoers must be a symlink.... i don't have it.
<1> erm, I meant me :)
<1> intelikey, /etc/sudoers
<9> i think i'm in over my head on this =) I've removed the wlan driver but dont know what I'm doing to put it back hehe
<3> nickrud no the command
<6> Varian: reinstall
<2> Napoleon: you have 640 megs of ram free, it's not a memory usage issue
<10> intelikey: don't edit /etc/sudoers directly, use visudo
<2> er, 690
<1> intelikey, that's not a command, it's a config file
<14> can anyone help figure out why my on-board digital sound isn't working -- everyone says it's just suppose to work, but it's not :( i've turned everything on and up in the mixer, no dice
<0> yeah your ram is better than mine
<9> Iceman: the OS?
<3> mikedouglas i don't even use sudo but thanks for the thought.
<15> intelikey: AFAIK there's no "sudoers" command - do you mean "visudo" ?
<0> napolean open up open office
<0> see if the problem is confined to the gime
<0> gimp
<4> first of do an apt-get update then do an apt-get install Automatix.
<3> thoreauputic hmmmm it listed as a command when i apropos sudo'd
<12> ah much better, white on black background, its always good to view irc like that
<15> !automatix
<1> uboat, ew
<16> rumour has it, automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, such as !easyubuntu.
<17> automatix? no
<7> *sudo does not always do the trick :P (so beware sudoers)
<18> can someone recomment a graphical du-like package for gnome
<6> Varian: no. just the wlan driver
<2> I wonder if X is slow for him or something?
<1> deep1, yes it does, it's all a matter of making sudoers right
<4> no x is fine for me.
<19> pkh: what?
<13> how do you change the hostname you set at the installation phase of ubuntu?
<3> deep1 which trick, might well be the question :)
<6> SurfnKid: default is good :)
<18> Flannel, I need to show someone how to navigate through their filetree looking for spase used (like du -sh *) but they're not a commandline type person (my brother...)
<7> heh, not the rabbit-out-of-the-hat trick :P
<4> I'm looking to build my own custom linux rig any suggestions on parts?
<10> intelikey: not sure about apropos, but files can also have man pages (ie. man mailcap).
<2> pkh: baobab maybe?
<12> default what u mean the color
<18> Agrajag, cheers will check it out
<1> Napoleon, boot into recovery mode, and set it in /etc/hostname & on the first line of /etc/hosts
<6> SurfnKid: yes. color background
<7> dunno, as a starter i find lots of linux commands suspicius :P
<6> black on grey
<19> oh. Um, you can use gnome... stuff. Like, properties of each disk, etc, in nautilus.
<7> (:$)
<0> Napoleon have a look in /etc/hosts
<20> regarding my prev. question, can someone give an insight of how to detach the process from it's terminal, *after* it has been run regualry (i.e. xmms & )
<2> Flannel: that's way too slow
<21> pkh: click on the places menu, then select computer. from there, right click on the root volume, and select properties
<12> yeah this way its better for my eyes
<1> Masqy, disown <tab>
<20> or, how to emualte what the gnome's terminal is doing for the process when you type exit
<20> nickrud: thanks
<10> then tell use about your booting problem, I just saw the sudo question.
<3> lol
<18> spikeb, that tells me how much is used on the disk (like df, he knows the disk is full) but he needs to go searching through the tree to find out where...
<3> i've got an unbootable system that i just booted..... hehhe now how do i make it bootable ?
<21> pkh: hmm
<3> ok let me post my question, the kernel and initramfs.img boot to an emergency 'busybox' shell where i have to modprobe aic7xxx & ext2 then mknod /dev/sda1 and mount the system on /root then exit and it goes ahead and boots. well at least far enough i can fix the rest in the init scripts... anyway, how the heck to i automate that three step process in the initramfs ?
<18> baobab is perfect, thanks agrajag
<2> pkh: np
<2> pkh: kdirstat is pretty cool too, but you need KDE crap installed to use it :(
<3> nickrud 10 4 that thought ^
<20> nickrud: when I do ps after the disown, it still appears as one of the jobs running in the background. can I make it 'completly' as if I was using gnome's run?
<18> yeah, I had that installed on my last kde-based machine, but wanted something gnome-specific
<1> intelikey, I am gonna walk away from that, I gave up on the kernel after 2.4
<12> hey how can i change between the 4 desktops with my keyboard
<3> k
<3> well this is 2.6.15-23
<11> with k ?
<15> SurfnKid: have a look at the "synergy" program
<7> alt+ctrl+left /right (gnome)
<15> !info synergy
<1> Masqy, just close the terminal, & the process will still run. That's pretty much equiv to what you want, I think
<16> synergy: (Share mouse and keyboard over the network), section universe/net, is optional. Version: 1.2.2-1build1 (breezy), Packaged size: 493 kB, Installed size: 1472 kB
<4> dono i'm using regular ubuntu.
<12> oh thats sharing thru network
<22> HELP
<15> hah - I thought SurfnKid meant separate machines :)
<7> SurfnKid, its alt+ctrl+left/right :S
<12> oh awesome
<7> if i understood right
<22> Need to Setup a Webserver but how?
<12> yes deep1
<12> got it thanks
<7> :>
<7> np:)
<20> nickrud: that's the best option I got so far, thanks.
<12> i have another laptop i just logged into XP but ive been on ubuntu for 3 days nearly
<12> IT FEELS WEEEIRD
<12> :D
<22> Can you help me?
<0> Masqy have you got your answer yet
<7> lol yeah=D
<3> !tell DJ_Danni about lamp
<7> its neat
<0> i figured something out
<7> synaptic rules!!!:D
<22> What?
<23> !dapper
<16> **** News Flash **** Dapper has its own channel #ubuntu+1 please join there for dapper (the beta of the next release) configuration, install, or other conversation, dapper will be in #ubuntu starting 1st of june :-) But not until then
<12> good thing i have 2 laptops so i can just do diff work
<1> Masqy, I use it often for gui stuff I start in a terminal, & want to get rid of the terminal. I'm not totally up on what that does, but It Works For Me
<0> whats that?
<24> ok guys one question
<25> anyone know the best place to get Totem Player codecs
<1> skippy, disown
<24> why does g++ say stdio.h no such file or folder
<26> heya folks
<15> !codecs
<16> Binary only codecs (such as w32codecs) can be downloaded from plf or cipherfunk, see !easysource for details on these repositories
<3> shriphani !b-e
<0> oh i have a another way
<1> shriphani sudo apt-get install build-essential
<2> shriphani: because stdio.h is a C header file, and g++ is a c++ compiler
