veepelo thanx00:04
DrUnKnMuNkYvee: what do you need help with?00:04

Peloxiven, we need specific questions00:05
Darius08xYup.00:05
veexiven whats the problem?00:06
xivenIt won't get internet00:06
xTheGoat121xpelo... nope.  The only things that would be running are python apps... screenlets, to be exact... and I've already narrowed it down, not then.00:06
DrUnKnMuNkYvee: did you install it using apt-get or some other package manager or manually?00:06
xivenIt gets an IP, but no internet00:06
xivenWindows works fine..00:06
veeDrUnKnMuNkY  sudo get-apt install phpmyadmin00:06

veexiven open up System>Network00:07
achtungbtw00:07
Darius08xI'm actually on ubuntu right now (I have NO idea what version put it on my laptop a little while ago) Does it come with any .iso burning stuffs. Or would it probably just be easier for me to but it on a usb drive and burn it from windows?00:07
DrUnKnMuNkYvee: i'm assuming you have apache installed on the machine. open a terminal and type cd /var/www. do you see anything called phpmyadmin?00:07

achtunghas the problem with ubuntu killing laptop hard drives been fixed?00:07
veeDrUnKnMuNkY yes i do... ap2... lemme try that00:07

thorDarius08x you running gnome?00:07
jacob__can somebody tell me how to log out from superusers powers, (instead of waiting 15 mins)?00:07
achtungheheheh00:07
achtungi know00:07
xTheGoat121xPelo, that's the thing.  there's nothing listed in top that's eating CPU cycles... it just seems to be unrelated to ANYthing00:07
PeloDarius08x, yes you can right clic k and burn to cd,  but I prefer gnomebaker myself for that ,  just sudo apt-get install gnomebaker00:08
unikonwhy in the world is firefox slow in Ubuntu 7.10?00:08
PeloxTheGoat121x, try with sudo top , might bring up more processes00:08
veeDrUnKnMuNkY no such dir.00:08
veeDrUnKnMuNkY under /etc i see it00:09
xivenI have opened System.NEtwork like 9 times00:09
DrUnKnMuNkYvee: what is your root apache directory?00:09
Pelounikon, might have to do with how many plugins you have00:09
rob_pjacob__: sudo -K whould do it.00:09
xivenBut, what do you want me to do?00:09
tickydoes anybody konw why ubuntu is shutting down (or hibernating or suspending, i'm not sure which of the three is doing), all of a suden? i thought i was pressing some key combinations but i realized it was doing it by itself too..00:09
xTheGoat121xPelo, I don't mean to be difficult, but I've tried that.00:09

veeDrUnKnMuNkY /var/www/apache2-default00:09
kitcheticky: an overheat maybe?00:09
veeDrUnKnMuNkY thats it right?00:09
tickykitche: i don 't think so. the funs are not loud.00:10
PeloxTheGoat121x, could it be the display that is wrong ? is  your system behaving as if is it using 100% cpu &00:10
billydoes anybody know why when i try to download the dota map, it doesnt show up when i play with it using wine?00:10
Pelo?00:10
veexiven you have to find where the network system window is to see if the settings are correct00:10
tickyis there a log where i can check the signals / messages?00:10
DrUnKnMuNkYvee: just /var/www is the root of the webserver folder. type this command while in /var/www: sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin phpmyadmin00:10
tickykitche: fans not funs00:10
kitcheticky: that doesn't mean anything could still be an overheating problem00:11
xTheGoat121xPelo, now THAT sounds like a very good possibility!  In top and sudo top, nothing shows as chewing up 100% CPU, but in gnome-system-monitor, it shows 100% CPU usage w/o any apps eating that much CPU00:11
tickykitche: how can i check that then?00:11
billyanybody here play wc3 dota on wine?00:11
jacob__rob_p: that didn't work00:12
xivenMaybe you guys would know about a common problem with Clearwire internet and Ubuntu00:12
kitcheticky: just have to watch your sensors00:12
tickybut i don'tthink it is that. it is not powering down like if there was a black out. it is shutting down like if i have chosen it00:12
PeloxTheGoat121x, in system-monitor when you turn it on , the sys-mon itself does take quite a bit of cpu to get running , but it tends to go up and down for a while00:12
rob_pjacob__: Maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to do.00:12
kitcheticky: yes some systems will powerdown like a shutdown00:12
jacob__rob_p: i want to graphically log out from superuser powers00:12
tickykitche: you mean phisically, or in some program in the computer00:12
xTheGoat121xPelo, alas, it's not just with system mon.00:12
achtung*reading*00:12
kitcheticky: well program lm-sensors00:13
rob_pjacob__: You mean you logged in graphically as root?00:13
PeloxTheGoat121x,  there is a pannel app you can use to monitor your cpu and mem and a bunch of otehr suff that you can basicaly ahve on all the time, that might give you a better idea00:13
=== miguillo is now known as miguillo_a
tickykitche: installing it right now00:13
PeloxTheGoat121x, sensors-applet  might need to apt-get it first00:13
veeDrUnKnMuNkY ok i did that... what did that do... and i see a bunch files listed00:13
xTheGoat121xPelo, all right.  I'll look into it00:14
tickyany other idea?00:14
Jupp2rob_p, I think he means that when you type in your password (e.g. synaptic) the system will still have you as root for a couple of minutes00:14
* Pelo needs some junk to much on , later folks 00:14
DrUnKnMuNkYvee: that creates a symbolic link in your apache directory to the phpmyadmin directory. try going to http://localhost/phpmyadmin now00:14
rob_pJupp2: Yeah.  That's what I thought initially too.  If that's the case, "sudo -K" should have forced an expire of sudo privs.00:15
billyanybody here have wc3 dota working?00:15

xTheGoat121xugh00:15
kitcheasdsadasd: check wine appdb or cedega's if you want to pay a few bucks to get a good working system sicne their cvs doesn't run00:15
veeDrUnKnMuNkY did i install it wrong?00:15
billyi cant get any downloaded maps on wc3 to work00:16
=== asdsadasd is now known as [n00b]Shadow
kitchebilly: then you most likely have them in the wrong spot but that's more of a wc3 problem then a ubuntu one00:16
billywell i duno where to put them to get them to work with wine00:16
billyso im just wondering if anybody has them working in here00:17
Jack_Sparrowbilly: try asking in #winehq00:17
jacob__rob_p: do you know how to do that?00:17
billyim banned :(00:17
rob_pjacob__: If you are logged in as the normal user, you don't have super user access without using sudo (or gksu, gksudo, etc.) before whatever you want to run with super user privs.00:17
Jack_Sparrowbilly: Somehow, I am not surprised00:17
eyemeanhi there, if i want to delete a protected folder how do i do in command pls?00:17
kitchebilly: in the wc3 folder under ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ or whereverer wc3 is installed to00:17
tickykitche: i cannot make it run, i have run sensors-detect and i still get "Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-detect to find out which these are." when i run `sensors`00:17
billyi have the map placed into the maps folder, but it doesnt show up when i play00:17
Jack_Sparroweyemean: use sudo for cli or gksudo for gui apps00:17
DrUnKnMuNkYvee: i'm not sure. i just installed it using apt-get and it worked fine out of the box. try completely removing it and installing it again. sudo apt-get purge phpmyadmin and sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin00:18
dngr7.10 install, hp dv600 with nvidia card, the machine just hangs on a black screen, probably X, what could one do to get it running?00:18
jacob__rob_p: i understand that, but how can i log out after i type (gksu, sudo, etc)00:18
billyhow do i get unbanned from winehq?00:18
DrUnKnMuNkYvee: you may also want to reinstall apache2 in a similar manner00:19
jacob__rob_p: grant persmission as a normal user after granting superuser powers00:19
Jack_Sparrowbilly: depends on what you did.. but that is all offtopic for this room00:19
billykk00:19
veeDrUnKnMuNkY i am running 7.10 server edition and installed LAMP i the beginning of the install00:19
tickywhere can i get the messages for my system to find out why it shut down for the last time?00:19
veeDrUnKnMuNkY then today i used apt-get to put phpmyadmin on.... was it on already an i double installed?00:19
xTheGoat121xBRB00:20
eyemeanjack_sparrow, sorry but im new to linux, can u pls give example if i want to delete , say /opt/hvirtual00:20
Jack_Sparrowyou would use sduo for root priv  then the rm command to remove the item00:20
rob_pjacob__: If you used sudo, then you can force an expire of the session by issuing, "sudo -k" at the command prompt.00:20

friendlyswhat is a must have security software for linux? in your opinion?  tripwire?00:23
jacobjacob__: that is a convenience feature. it will remember your sudo password/session for 15 minutes and will automatically expire. All other commands and applications you use however will still run as a normal user.00:23
DrUnKnMuNkYvee: go to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled00:23

veekelsin  i tired accessing it localhost/phpmyadmin and that didnt work00:38
kelsinbilly: is it a map made for a different version of warIII then you're running? and did you try dropping it in the "downloads" folder underneath maps? (I don't know if that mattered)00:38

veekelsin thiswas my ori. problem00:38

tanathi just had a wierd untitled, empty window pop up on my screen. how can i figure out what it s?00:41
Darius08xPelo:  okey00:41
PeloDarius08x, boot back xp run a scandisk and then run defrag twice at least,  then try the gparted cd again00:41
tanathwhen i focus it, it shows whatever is behind it00:41
tanather, what was behind it at the time, actually00:41
Darius08xI've already done chkdsk /f and defraged a BUNCH of times.00:41
kelsinvee: did you restart apache? and choose the right apache version when you installed phpmyadmin?00:41
PeloDarius08x, ok , still in gparted ?00:42
Darius08xI was getting some cluster error thing and that got fixed. But now it won't resize.00:42
Darius08xYes. I am.00:42
kelsinvee: (restarting apache shouldn't be a problem, but it might have screwed up somehow)00:42
veekelsin no, and I choose apache 2... as i think thats the version that comes with u.server 7.1000:42
PeloDarius08x, refresh the gparted view,  I know that in 7.04 it would occasionnaly tell you there was an error but it would still do the job00:42
kelsinvee: you have the myphp conf file in /etc/apache2/conf.d correct?00:42
veekelsin lemme check00:43
Darius08x... Now my mouse isn't working00:43
kelsinvee: and you don't have any other websites that overight the alias? you can try disabling all sites in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled folder00:43
PeloDarius08x,  reboot the cd00:43
Darius08xPelo:  I am.00:43
kelsinbilly: don't know what to tell you :-( works for me just fine, try putting it into the downloads folder inside maps just in case that matters00:43
PeloDarius08x, the only other thing I can suggest,  would be to backup your xp data,  whipe the hdd make two partition install xp on one and then install ubu on the other00:44
veekelsin i see charset in that directory00:44
billykelsin: when i make the downloads folder, it doesnt even show up00:44
veekelsin no other sites00:44
Darius08xbleh. So just reformat completly. And before installing either go ahead and resize it?00:44
narothepharohpelo: how do I run a terminal as root?00:44
kelsinvee: did you just hit enter over apache2 when installing phpmyadmin or did you hit space so the * appeared next to apache2 then selected00:44
Jack_Sparrow!sudo00:45
ubotusudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.00:45
kelsinvee: if you don't know then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin" to do it again00:45
Pelonarothepharoh,  you donT run terminal as root you run commands with sudo00:45
kelsinbilly: try making "Downloads"00:45
veei had it highlighted red, then hit enter00:45
billykelsin: ok00:45
veekelsin look above00:45
PeloDarius08x, that was a last ditch way to do it , if you can't manage to resize00:45
kelsinbilly: if that doesn't work go and join a b.net game to make war make the folder then place your map in it00:45
Pelo!root > narothepharoh check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu00:46
kelsinvee: make sure to hit space to make the * appear, run that dpkg-reconfigure command and do it again00:46
veekelsin ok00:46
billykelsin: kk i got it to work, thanks a lot00:46
fenrishi00:46
kelsinbilly: was it "Downloads"?00:46
Pelohello fenris00:46
billykelsin: no it was that i copied the folder with the game, and i put it else where, and i thought the maps were in there, but then it was in the original folder00:47

PeloDarius08x, well partition before hand make one fat32 and one ext3 , makethe fat32 first you can tell windows to instlal and reforma it to ntfs00:53
Darius08xok00:53
kelsinvee: from inside phpmyadmin you can, or using the mysql command line tools, it wouldn't have changed unless you changed it, if I'm even correct about the default, I don't know if I am00:53

AnimortisWhen done downloading flash from Synaptic, the console view displays the following message: md5sum mismatch install flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz / The Flash plugin is NOT installed.01:02

Pelocircaender, maybe you should try with the alternate install cd it is less picky about hardware when it installs01:15
kitofhawaiispeedhunt3r: also, confirm in bios that the onboard is off and deprived an IRQ01:15
speedhunt3rkitofhawaii: yeah i do have a spare, suppose the display goes on to that monitor, then what do i do?01:15
Animortiskitofhawaii, md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz / The Flash plugin is NOT installed.01:15
TeslaDaveThe program doesn't start fully because when it starts  it tries to update and write files i believe, and thus since SU doesn't really exist in ubuntu, it can't update and thus can't start, is their a place where i can install it so that i don't have to worry about sudo or su01:15
netsrotPelo: great thanks, now it's only my cdrom drive making noices, I hope that cdemu will release a stable version soon but development seems dead.01:16
speedhunt3rkitofhawaii: i don't have a choice to turn it off, i can set one primary so i set my primary to pci-ex01:16

marlhi folks, im running a VS with Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS  and am hitting a prob trying to setup an iptables rule, could some kind sole have a quick look at http://www.pastebin.ca/807821 and see if they can see what im doing wrong?01:16
circaenderThats how i got it to install, and it all installed fine and detected all my hardware and everything..and it told me to take the cd out and reboot..so i did, and it just loaded up three bars and stalled.01:16
kitofhawaiispeedhunt3r: you should be able to rob it of its IRQ01:16
ztomicbtw, is the wireless tool to graphically select a specific AP?01:16

speedhunt3rkitofhawaii: i'll look for it, i recently updated bios, brb....01:16
Pelonetsrot, my dvd drive was making some noise recently as well , I'm not sure it is ubuntu related but I was thinking it might have been , seemesd to have stopped now01:16

micocould anyone point me direction of links to learn how to install an LDAP server and clients in gutsy ?01:17
dewdudeok, so, my laptop hard drive started making funky zipping/whining noises and after about 5 minutes, 100% died..like..the bios doesn't even detect it..so i put my 80gb drive in the thing that had a previous ubuntu install from an HP Omnibook...now i know i should idealy reinstall ubuntu...but..there's some stuff in /home i really don't wanna get rid of...any options for me?01:17
=== DarthShr1ne is now known as DarthShrine
Pelomico, assuming an ldap client is just a bunch of apps , you just need to know what those apps are and install them from synaptic01:18
kefurd06dewdude: if the drive isn't even picked up in bios.. u may be SOL01:18

ztomicdewdude: usb pendrive. In the future create a separate home partition.01:19
kefurd06dewdude: i've heard of companies that will take your dead hard drive and get as much data for u from it as they can01:19
Animortiskitofhawaii, A repo difficulty? I'll take a look or wait for it to fix.01:19
dewdudeno no01:19
dewdudeyou totally misheard me.01:19
Pelodewdude,  if hyou have some free hdd space,  resize to make a new partiton from that free space and copy your /home folder to it01:19
gorathPelo: ok i belive i have the source now for xwinwrap how do i compile01:19
dewdudethe drive that died..had nothing on it01:19
dewdudei don't care01:19
kefurd06oh01:19
kefurd06sry01:19
dewdudeit had suffered a problem with data loss before and i was a fool for trying to use it01:19
marldewdude: one tip u could try to get allow getting some data back from the drive if u need it, is place the drive oin an external drive caddy, and put it in the freezer in a well sealed bag01:19
dewdudebut i wasn't sure if that was the issue with the thing.01:19
dewdudenah01:20
circaenderis there a way i can find out if its my hard ware? i checked my motherboard and it said it was compatible..im not sure what else it could be..i have a Nvidia g-card01:20
dewdudethe dead drive is in the trash already01:20
Pelogorath, first you need to install the compiling software,    open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install build-essential01:20
kitofhawaiiAnimortis: the other thing you can try is "sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree" and then try the aptget again01:20
kefurd06now what was ur question?01:20
ztomicdewdude: I like Pelo's idea.01:20
whaboHow can i create a shortcut for a new subfolder under applications??? its for WINE and the programs in it .. anyone ??? PLZ HELPP .. THANK YOU01:20
dewdudei thought about trying that.01:20
kefurd06sry whabo, wish i knew01:20
marlleaving it in the external caddy/bad, allows you to actually run and access it while it is still in the freezer! can allow short term access to apparently totaly dead drives!01:20
dewdudei know that01:20
gorathpelo: ok01:20
Pelocircaender, ifyou hve anything nvidia on your comp , use the alternate install cd , not the live cd , youcan get it from the ubuntu.com site, fromteh dl section , just check the box bellow the download button01:20
whabokefurd06: its ok thx :)01:20
Pelogorath,  done ?01:21
gorathpelo:yep01:21
dewdudethe point is...i don't care about the dead drive..i'm jsut wondering should i try to reconfigure the ubuntu install on the "new" drive or reformat after getting the /home stuff backuped somehow01:21
Pelogorath, ok  is the xwin... source package on your desktop ?01:21
Animortiskitofhawaii, Didn't work. I'll look for that workaround.01:21
Bored1edAnyone have any download recommendations? Im quite bored.01:21
dewdudeit's booted up in console since X wouldn't start..and my wifi is working......i jsut didn't know if there was some easy way to do it01:21
DILstick the drive in the freezer and try it again -01:21
kelsinmarl: looks to me like the REDIRCT table doesn't exist, I could be very wrong about that01:21
circaenderThats how i got it to install, and it all installed fine and detected all my hardware and everything..and it told me to take the cd out and reboot..so i did, and it just loaded up three bars and stalled.01:21
TeslaDaveI have a question regarding installing a program that needs root su access everytime it starts, is there a place where it can be installed to get around the sudo / su differences ubuntu has?01:22
Pelogorath,  join me in #Pelo please , this place is a bit to noisy for this tutorial01:22
kitofhawaiiAnimortis: it involves getting it directly from adobe (works good...can confirm that's a viable option, though it won't be managed, so keep an eye on the repo's)01:22
ztomicdewdude: not really important. you can reconfigure X and other things. But then again a new install is pretty quick.01:22
kelsinmarl: n/m it's a builtin, shows what I know :)01:23
Animortiskitofhawaii, I'll take a look. Considering the security vulnerabilities involved, I will probably just use Gnash for a few weeks...01:23
Peloafk brb01:23
kitofhawaiiAnimortis: also, are you using 64-bit ubunti?01:23

DEAthKAgot it?01:33
dewdudefloppy is out of the question...a floppy can't hold that much01:33
wols_Bored1ed: for a harddisk maker 300GB is 300x1000x1000x1000 bytes. for linux it is 300x1024x1024x102401:33

kitofhawaiislic1: burning os disks, i generally recommend going half or slower the rated speed of your cd burner01:35

kitcheakorn: easy use a package managment software to remove it unless you used their .run file01:38
wols_CaptainMorgan: auth.log perhaps01:38
juano__akorn: you have to run /opt/..../cxoffice/cxremove01:38
juano__akorn: or something like that... with sudo01:38
akornwols_ i used the .deb file to install it, any idea? i can't find any folders and if i use locate crossover i find nothing, bu tit's there becuase i used it to install a program!01:38
heguruCaptainMorgan: you can use last command for last logged in users01:38
kelsinCaptainMorgan: the last command will help "last"01:38

cvdany firefox pluging to download complete webpages, so  acan navigate offline?02:39
gbwhello, is there any other package which looks like cairo-dock?02:39
kelsincvd: don't know about a firefox plugin, but wget can recursively download full sites02:40
YOok so I will ask again ubotu :) I am looking to install a proxy on my gutsy box to allow me to connect to irc from blocked locations02:41
kitcheYO: irssi02:41
TSWoodVNeed advise as to how to make usbserial work with pl2303 and ftdi_sio modules simultaneously under 2.6.15 kernel.02:41
wolsYO: use irssi02:41
YOhmm ok i will look into that ... thanks02:41
IndyGunFreakgbw: you can install gdesklets02:41
kitcheYO: it's a client but has a proxy feature02:41
kelsinYO: depending on the situation you can also just use a ssh forward02:41
pgkazol: it may be that your hardware is not supported.  Have you searched the web for your computer model and "stand by" or "hybernate"?02:41
MikeyMikekelsin,  ok i had the gparted live usb and i tried to resize my 332 gig windows partition using it. I was using half of that 332 gigs for windows and the other half was empty. I wanted to resize it to have half unallocated... so 160 gigs or so for windows (maybe 3 gigs free just in case i have to run windows again) and the other i was going to reinstall another version of windows on with a new motherboard and cpu and video card that i got. when i resized th02:41
MikeyMikee partition to half roughly it gave me this error, ERROR: Extended record needed (1048 > 1024), not yet supported! Please try to free less space.02:41
gbwIndyGunFreak, is there any particular reason i should not install cairo-dock?02:42
IndyGunFreakgbw: you cna do whatever you like you asked for an alternative to cairo-dock02:42
kazolpg: Not yet, I forgot about it.02:42
scguy318MikeyMike: silly suggestion, but have you defragged? :P02:42
pgHow can I make my console font smaller?02:42
MikeyMikescguy318,  i'm pretty sure it's not fragmented but i can check again02:42
gbwIndyGunFreak, actually i am asking which package is more stable and friendly to use02:42
kelsinMikeyMike: do you need to resize to half? Maybe resizing to like 50 gigs free if enough to move your files, then do your deletion / growing thing?02:42
MikeyMikekelsin,  well... 50 gigs isnt enough.... how can i find out the limit?02:43
IndyGunFreakgbw: well that wasn't the question you posed that i responded to, regardless, gdesklets is generally stable for me, but thats all ic an tell you.02:43
MikeyMikescguy318,  i just analyzed my partition and it says i do not need to defrag02:43
kelsinMikeyMike: don't know, but it might not error on a smaller amount02:43
MikeyMikekelsin,  right02:43
kelsinMikeyMike: are you running vista? If so does the resize tool in vista not get the partition small enough?02:43
S_t_n_KHola02:44
MikeyMikekelsin,  windows xp02:44
MikeyMikeprofessional02:44
eyemeanhi does anyone kow how i can make thunar the default file manager on gutsy pls?02:44
MikeyMikekelsin,  you can resize the partition in vista? wow... i'm impressed lol02:44
MikeyMikebut no i'm using xp pro02:44
kelsinMikeyMike: well you can resize them completely stupidly, afaik it doesn't ever move data, but if you aren't technically using the end of the disk (by chance) it can shrink it02:44
MikeyMikekelsin,  right.... i'm using the front half of the 332 gig partition.... i was going to resize to give my current windows barely any free space. then install my new hardware and install into the new partition. copy stuff from the old partition... then erase the old stuff and have my full 332 gigs again :)02:45
BigDaddyI just double checked, I have switched between alsa and OSS and I am having a problem on audio transitions. Anyone knowledgeable with audio problems?02:46
lucieniu1hi guys, my soundcard loops system sounds endlessly. other sounds, like those generated by pidgin/media players/etc are ok though.02:46
scguy318BigDaddy: there is no OSS, it's just an ALSA compatibility layer02:46
abadtoothHow to I mount a windows hard drive that won't boot in the terminal?02:46
kelsinMikeyMike: I know you've said that three times now, I would honestly run out to best buy and buy a hard drive to copy the media on, safer, esp if you're having issues with the gparted cd02:46
MikeyMikekelsin,  lol i've considered it.....02:46
scguy318kelsin: not Best Buy :( :P02:46
BigDaddyscguy318: Oh, then should I have everything on ALSA or autodetect?02:46
wolsMikeyMike: unecessary. rename program files, documents and settings and \windows to something else. then reinstall windows02:46

kelsinrobrrr: "useradd" "man useradd" for more info02:47
MikeyMikewait.... wols won't the new install of windows write completely over.......02:47

denardoFun I'm back... I had had a second (PCMCIA) audio device connected, so I logged out, disconnected it, and logged in again, just in case that was the problem, but it didn't affect things. With Amarok at Autodetect, it still zooms silently through the playlist then gives the "device unavailable" error.02:49
MikeyMikewols,  i'm not exactly sure what to search for to find more info about this02:49
BigDaddyscguy318: could the fact that I have Amarok installed be causing the popping sounds? Maybe xine conflicting with gstreamer or something?02:50
kelsinrobrrr: I'm confused, if you've read the useradd man page you'd see that there isn't a --quiet flag02:50
abadtoothkelsin:  lemme try that02:50
scguy318BigDaddy: perhaps, but prob not02:50
kelsinrobrrr: I don't think useradd normally asks questions02:50

FunnyLookinHatmeoblast001, with the email notification, I'm not sure of a way to do that with evolution, sorry03:37
meoblast001ok03:37
Darius08xtntCry: ...Both? I could connect wireless and everything03:37
meoblast001any ideas for the WINE problem?03:37
robdigcvd: ah, * is in wrong column in your pastebin...compare to sample03:37
FunnyLookinHatmeoblast001, with the .EXE files, you can set the default when you right click a .EXE - Choose Open With - Open with Other Application ---  Just type in wine and check the box to make it default03:37
tntCryDarius08x, so you mean ubuntu havent detected your card ?03:38
Darius08xYeah03:38
TigranGDoes building a custom kernel actually make the system faster?03:39
cvdstill the same :-)03:39
cvd:-(03:39
meoblast001FunnyLookinHat: i dont have that option03:39
tntCryim the wrong person to help you with Darius08x , but if its an internet problem that means if your card works and your connected to your router and erverything but your internet isnt working it means you cant surf or log in msn ect.. that is a problem i can help you with.03:39
Darius08xtntCry:  Thats not my problem, it's just not detecting the card. ): But it did in the live cd which is odd03:39
robdigcvd: try deleting the first line and see if it will compile03:40
tntCryhmm03:40
tntCrydid you type dmesg?03:40

judgement07does anyone use DEVEDE?03:41
FunnyLookinHatmeoblast001, hmm..  I'm not totally sure.  You should google for it.  When I installed WINE, it automatically set the default for .EXE files to be WINE03:41
TigranGDoes building a custom kernel from source actually make the system faster?03:41
Darius08xtntCry:  Don't see it03:41
meoblast001will reinstalling Wine destroy all my previous settings and files?03:42
cvdmaybe there something wrong with the terminal?03:42
FunnyLookinHatmeoblast001, probably not,   you can make sure it doesn't by doing this in a console03:42
FunnyLookinHatmeoblast001, mv .wine .wine_backup03:42
cvdcuz sometimes i cant use the su at all03:42
FunnyLookinHatmeoblast001, then once you reinstall wine, do this:   mv .wine_backup .wine03:42
tntCrydirst of all Darius08x what is it a laptop? built in wireless with mobo or a PCMCI laptop card or a PCI slot for PC.03:43

tntCryyou know Darius08x if i was you i would remove it and put it in another slot03:44
Darius08xOk, thanks I guess i can try03:44
tntCryand try booting ubuntu again . this may cause of conflict that is 1 of the 80 reasons03:44
tntCrybut the other reasons is you must get some files and stuff but that is also recommended if my way didnt work .03:44
robdigcvd: i don't remember, does cobol statements start in column 7 or 8? been too long...either way, for the warning, try doing cobc -free hello.cob03:45

meoblast001ajeet: there you will be able to right click on the name of the process and click kill03:47
ajeetis there a key combo03:47
AlyxanderZhaozhou, yup Gnome mixed with E17 very nice very very nice03:47
meoblast001ajeet: you can make one03:47
ajeetlike in suse03:47
ZhaozhouAlyxander, e17 <303:47
Fydaajeet: No, but you could set one or create a launcher for 'xkill'03:47
meoblast001ajeet: first install the program xbindkeys03:47
ZhaozhouIm thinking of getting e17 on my box. e17 is really keyboard-friendly.03:48
robdigcvd: i don't remember, does cobol statements start in column 7 or 8? been too long...either way, for the warning, try doing cobc -free hello.cob03:48
robdigcvd: as far as the ld error, looks like you need to install ncurses03:48
meoblast001ajeet: Fyda's idea sounds a little easier03:48
AlyxanderZhaozhou, its hot the only reason i switched fro xubuntu with e installed was to see if they got it right with wireless and yeah they did03:49
cvdcannot find -lncurses03:49

Fydameoblast001: ajeet left :(03:50
meoblast001Fyda: he did?03:51
meoblast001im always late on that stuff03:51
robdigcvd: you need to install ncurses, the open cobol web site says 5.2 or later, not sure i see that, but try this...sudo apt-get install libncurses503:51
cvdi have intalled the libncurses5, libncursesw5,libncurses-base,ncurses-bin03:51
robdigcvd: did you install open cobol from the ubuntu repositories or from their website?03:52
cvdfrom synaptic03:52

jonesythis is an area where instead of having 15 different sound systems to choose from, it would be nice if linux had *one* that worked with the major desktops in some kind of seamless way.04:03
