BB88	wy: KTorrent I have found to be the best. Deluge seems to crash quite a lot, and Azureus I have never liked.	01:26
scragar	KinPumpkinKing: path's are case sensitive	01:26
mentalidub	hi	01:26
Dr_willis	KinPumpkinKing, in general linux is case sensitive . :) its a 'sensitive' os. be nice to it	01:26
mentalidub	i have a problem running mohaa in linux	01:26
lewis	wols: The OS isn't functioning. Nothing 'graphical' comes up - just a blue box with the thing i told you earlier. I can make my way to a terminal which is what i've been using all this time you've been giving me instructions. It works the same as a normal terminal	01:26
scragar	wy: it also doesn't matter much that it's a KDE app, the overhead is still less than wine or java...	01:26
DareFace	wols: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48394/	01:27
wols	lewis: when the kernel, init and bash load which apparently do, it IS functioning. a terminal is a functioning OS	01:27
three	is there a way over an ssh connection to make a dialog with my custom message pop up on a linux machine (specifically ubuntu)?	01:27
wy	scragar: Thanks. What about qtorrent? It looks like only require two libs	01:27
hallo	hi, i am using xchat,but i cannot see the menu bar,how to configure it?	01:27
Nelsmar	has anyone had experience setting up a VPN ive always had problems tryng to set it up. i did it a few years ago but i cant quite remember what i ahd done. im tryng to make it so my friend can connect from his hosue to mine and browse samba on my server as well as other minor netowrking actions	01:27
mentalidub	im using xchat too	01:27
scragar	wy: I've never actualy head of that...	01:27
BB88	hallo: Press F9.	01:27
lewis	wols: i cant effectively access it properly. i get stopped at this blue screen thing asking if i want diagnose or not	01:28
hallo	really relly thank you, BB88,it is great	01:28
BB88	hallo: No worries ;)	01:28
wols	lewis: ctrl+alt+f2 and you have a terminal	01:28
wols	lewis: and that's all you ever need	01:28
mentalidub	hi, i have a problem running mohaa in ubuntu, when i quit it crashes, any help ?	01:29
mentalidub	hi, i have a problem running mohaa in ubuntu, when i quit it crashes, any help ?	01:29
mentalidub	hi, i have a problem running mohaa in ubuntu, when i quit it crashes, any help ?	01:29
KinPumpkinKing	scragar, it ran, but nothing happened. what should I do to check if it got installed?	01:29
skyfalcon866	is it normal for reiserfs to do a tree rebuild	01:29
scragar	KinPumpkinKing: yeah, it must just not display any messages.	01:29
bkruse_home	anyone play counter strike source in linux? Particularly can you play source (using wine or whatever) from a windows parition?	01:29
KinPumpkinKing	scragar, yeah, okay, but how do I use what I installed? It's a game called Dune Legacy.	01:30
mentalidub	there are no bynaries for CS:source	01:30
newguyss	hi guys, is there any DC++ client I can use ?	01:30
jhurley7	anyone know if there are there any macro recording programs for linux?	01:30
bkruse_home	mentalidub: that was the nubish remark I have ever heard	01:30
scragar	KinPumpkinKing: not exactly sure, normaly things come with a readme, you should check for that, if not try using updatedb and locate or find	01:31
mentalidub	what ?	01:31
Dr_willis	mohaa has a native linux client?	01:31
mentalidub	yep	01:31
mentalidub	but when i quit it crashes	01:31
mentalidub	i dont know why	01:31
Dr_willis	well if it crashes after you quit.. whats the problem. :)	01:31
mentalidub	that i have to restart the X server	01:31
scragar	mentalidub: if it crashes have you tried pressing ctrl+alt+backspace? it always forces ubuntu to resume shutting down when the problem happens for me.	01:32
QDVDAuthor	has anyone here used QDVDAuthor before ?	01:32
mentalidub	yes, that is what i do	01:32
scragar	QDVDAuthor: yes, but I'm no pro	01:33
mentalidub	lol i got 100 fps with mohaa on linux, in windows i got like 45	01:33
mentalidub	sorry my english	01:33
KinPumpkinKing	scragar, nothing relevant showed up...	01:33
QDVDAuthor	Cool, I am trying to get people to ceate a few templates for QDVDAuthor and have staretd a small competition. YOu could win some $.	01:33
wy	scragar: I installed it. Look very good	01:34
QDVDAuthor	And the more templates there are the better tool it will be. So this is a win win .	01:34
Nelsmar_	hhmm did anyone answer my question about vpn.... or rather respond to it? driver issues so i had to force a reset on my laptop :(	01:34
scragar	KinPumpkinKing: did you run it with root perms, or user perms?	01:35
KinPumpkinKing	scragar, I had to run it with root perms	01:35
KinPumpkinKing	scragar, user perms weren't enough	01:35
scragar	KinPumpkinKing: with root perms it will proberly be in /usr/local/games or /opt	01:35
=== tuna-fish is now known as tuna
scragar	KinPumpkinKing: but no guarentees on it being either	01:35
KinPumpkinKing	scragar, yup, it's... not there.	01:36
KinPumpkinKing	scragar, I guess I'll just leave it alone... thanks	01:36
scragar	KinPumpkinKing: if you know what minute you installed it on you could still find it	01:37
KinPumpkinKing	scragar, I don't, though...	01:37
Nelsmar_	so has anyone setup a VPN server before? or know any tutorial/guides? ive been seraching the web and cant seem to fin dmuch help ;x	01:38
KinPumpkinKing	scragar, sorry, really, sorry for wasting your time. :/	01:38
KinPumpkinKing	scragar, well, all I can say is, do not install dune legacy! :P	01:38
scragar	KinPumpkinKing: where did you get the file from?	01:38
KinPumpkinKing	scragar, sourceforge	01:38
scragar	KinPumpkinKing: k, I'll take a look see if I can work out it's install location :P	01:39
KinPumpkinKing	scragar, thanks a lot!	01:39
jmaddude	you guys rule, thanks for being patient with me (I got it thanks to your advice)	01:40
radiomark	Hello. I've newly installed Ubuntu. I need ALSA 10.0.15 to support my soundcard, and it's not available as a package. It's not too bleeding-edge either. Is there a package repository I can get it from, rather than compiling it myself?	01:40
scragar	If it doesn't work ask somebody in #dunelegacy at irc.freenode.net or paste your error to some pastebin and put a link on this page. <-- you could ask the developers where they put it...	01:41
KinPumpkinKing	scragar, I wrote that down, I'll get back to it tomorrow... tired, now. Thanks for all your help. Bai bai!	01:42
scragar	radiomark: you may be able to try enabling proposed packages in synaptic, might not be there though	01:43
scguy318	radiomark: possibly in Ubuntu Hardy, but probably for ALSA you'll have to build yourself	01:44
scguy318	!alsa \| radiomark	01:44
ubotu	radiomark: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3	01:44

=== ibblu is now known as ibb
SpookyET	What's an F-Spot alternative? I can't stand it.	01:46
radiomark	scguy318: Well for this particularl case, I could use kernel 2.6.24-rc1 or later. But I can't see kernel versions later than 2.6.22. Do Ubuntu users just work a few versions behind, or is there a way for me to test 'unstable' packages?	01:46
damaltor	is have an scsi streamer an a scsi cdrw drive. works correct in any live distri, but doesnt work out-of-the box in ubuntu. what can i do?	01:47
scguy318	radiomark: stable Ubuntu is 6 months behind except for security updates, really	01:47
scguy318	radiomark: you could consider an upgrade to Ubuntu Hardy, thats the current development version	01:47
damaltor	!scsi	01:47
ubotu	Sorry, I don't know anything about scsi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi	01:47
damaltor	bad.	01:47
scguy318	radiomark: it's the bleding edge	01:47
scguy318	radiomark: you may want to ask in #ubuntu+1, since I wouldn't know how	01:47
scguy318	*bleeding	01:48
wweasel	radiomark, scguy318: it's not necessary to fully upgrade to hardy just to get the alsa packages	01:48
ConstyXIV	how easy is it to totally erase flash memory vs. a HDD (and likewise, how difficult to recover the data)?	01:49
cleaton	SpookyET, there's digikam a kde app. and there's also like google picasaa	01:49
wweasel	radiomark: check out "prevu" in order to get the hardy source and compile it.	01:49
damaltor	in germany (here) its quarter to three in the morning.. would anyone tell me his time?	01:49
cleaton	and probably a lot more	01:49

wweasel	scguy318: My sound card wasn't supported under Feisty. prevu'd gutsy :P	01:50
hallo	china 10:00	01:50
damaltor	oh well..	01:50
damaltor	thats nice,	01:50
damaltor	someone else?	01:50
hallo	heihei	01:50
SpookyET	cleaton: I find browsing my pictures hard with it	01:50
DareFace	wols: are you still there?	01:50
damaltor	his ought to be a channel from nearly every place in the world =)	01:50
radiomark	wweasel: Okay, I need to read on prevu. But that sounds like quite a manual and involved process?	01:50
cleaton	SpookyET, with f-spot? i just use the filebrowser to brows my pictures	01:51
scguy318	damaltor: current time? 12/15/07 7:50:23 PM Central Standard Time	01:51

SpookyET	cleaton: i liked the vista one	01:51
damaltor	havin a problem with scsi devices in xubuntu	01:51
cleaton	SpookyET, webalbums are nice though	01:51
damaltor	is have an scsi streamer an a scsi cdrw drive. works correct in any live distri, but doesnt work out-of-the box in ubuntu. what can i do?	01:51
tuga3d	i need a litle help, my /dev/video0 just desapear, how do i fix it?	01:52
wweasel	radiomark: The idea of prevu is that it automates the process of backporting from bleeding edge source	01:52
wweasel	radiomark: It's not too hard.	01:52
wweasel	But may I ask what sound card Gutsy doesn't support?	01:52
cleaton	tuga3d, are you sure it's connected to your comp?	01:52
corevette	i installed phpmysql, but i don't know how to start it	01:53
cleaton	tuga3d, what was it? a usb webcam?	01:53
tuga3d	cleaton, yes	01:53
damaltor	corevette: isnt that a frontend for working w/ the sql databases?	01:53
tuga3d	cleaton, gspda	01:53
radiomark	wweasel: So maybe I got the wrong end of the stick with Ubuntu, but I thought that I would be able to keep my system up to date using pre-compiled packages that were available? Or is that not the case. Do I just install a 'release' and get a slow trickle of the more essential updates?	01:53
corevette	damaltor: so what is it	01:53
cleaton	tuga3d, write lsusb in the console and see if you can find it	01:53
corevette	damaltor: how do you use it	01:54
damaltor	corevette: are u german?	01:54
Neodudeman	does anyone here have an eee?	01:54
corevette	damaltor: english	01:54
tuga3d	cleaton, nop	01:54
wweasel	radiomark: Well, I find it surprising that Gutsy, the latest version, does not support your sound card. What card is it?	01:54
damaltor	Neodudeman: no. but i can tell you that ubuntu works on it =)	01:54
tuga3d	going to unplug and plug again	01:54
damaltor	corevette: extract it into /var/www/name_of_your_choice	01:54
radiomark	wweasel: Well I have a couple of cards which require code only in ALSA 10.0.15 -- a Scratchamp and a Rane SL-1	01:55
tuga3d	cleaton, it worked :) thanks	01:55
corevette	damaltor: so what if i installed it via synaptic, whats the poitn?	01:55
damaltor	then open in a webbrowser [ip_of_server]/[name_you_choosen_before]	01:55

hallo	startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation	01:55
cleaton	tuga3d, np =)	01:55
tuga3d	cleaton, i think is my usb port :) thanks again	01:55
hallo	so what does that mean	01:55
Neodudeman	damaltor: lol, i kno. thats the second thing i would do if i got an eee.	01:55
damaltor	corevette: good question. i have no idea if im honest... try looking into /var/www if there is a new dir	01:56
wweasel	radiomark: "keep my system up to date using pre-compiled packages" is a dubious notion. What would this mean? The idea of a release is to take a set of packages and make it stable. Ubuntu keeps a very rigorous release cycle.	01:56
damaltor	Neodudeman: so what do u want to know? friend of mine has one	01:56
chetnick	hi guys , i want to backup my ubuntu to external hard drive which is on /media/ED_mini location. How do i gzip /home/ and /etc and redirect all to /media/ED_mini location?	01:56
cleaton	tuga3d, nah usb webcams can be like that, i've had the same problem	01:56
lwizardl	i need to set the resoluion that ubuntu uses while starting before the login screen. it starts at a res higher than my lcd can display but the login screen is the native res i need 1024x768	01:56
siccness	anyone done port forwarding with iptables before?	01:56
corevette	damaltor: more importantly, how do i delete all my current existing databse entries	01:56
tuga3d	cleaton, one more question, my webcam image is too dark, do you know how to fix it?	01:56
wweasel	radiomark: The issue here is that you need a bleeding edge version of ALSA. It's really new. But the person who was helping you before was wrong: it's really not necessary for you to upgrade to the Hardy unstable. In fact, I really don't recommend it.	01:57
damaltor	corevette: hm... dont know. usually i use phpmyadmin wich is only a .tar.gzip wich has to be extracted into /var/www ans then can be uses via webserver	01:57
cleaton	tuga3d, i also have that, and i really haven't found a solution for that. the way v4l seems to work is that the different programs that uses the webcam should have brightness settings. and the onlyone i know with good webcam settings is AMSN	01:57
Neodudeman	damaltor: aww man, too cool. I thought I read something about an ubuntu modified to work specifically for the eee. Is that true, or was that my imagination?	01:58
damaltor	oh... had a bit too much alcohol i think.. my writing is bad. but the thing ought to work thogh	01:58
cleaton	i think you can change brightness with v4l somehow but i don't know how to save it :(	01:58
wweasel	radiomark: What we need to do for you is to install ALSA x.x.x.15 in Gutsy	01:58
soldats	Neodudeman, i als heard ubuntu works on EEEPC so you should be good	01:58
tuga3d	cleaton, ok. thanks going to google it	01:58
radiomark	wweasel: Okay well I am used to Slackware, where I would just pinch a later package/kernel from '-current' and use that.	01:58
wweasel	radiomark: I suppose that's the equivalent of Debian Unstable? (i don't know Slackware)	01:59
damaltor	Neodudeman: well.. that friend installed ubuntu and tried to use compiz-fusion wich worced perfectly... slow cpu, but nice graphics card makes it work. try xubuntu or install ubuntu and then a window manager of ur choice	01:59
radiomark	wweasel: Yes, I think it might be	01:59
scguy318	wweasel: I believe that's the case	01:59
radiomark	wweasel: Is there an equivalent for Ubuntu?	01:59
Neodudeman	soldats: ya, that's what I heard. lol, i like ur name. do you knife or chainsaw, soldats?	01:59
batma8	is there a edgy specific help channel?	01:59
scguy318	batma8: don't think so	02:00
damaltor	corevette: try this: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php	02:00
scguy318	batma8: you can ask your question here	02:00
soldats	Neodudeman, knif or chainsaw?	02:00
radiomark	wweasel: I guess this is the 'herdy' that you speak of?	02:00
Neodudeman	damaltor: what are his thoughts about the keyboard and screen?	02:00
corevette	alright thanks damaltor	02:00
Neodudeman	soldats: oh, nvm. lol.	02:00
wweasel	radiomark: No, Ubuntu development process actually takes a snapshot of Debian Unstable, and processes it into a stable release over the 6 month release cycle.	02:00
n_o_O_b	How could I own my ext2 usb-flash? Can't copy files to it.	02:00
batma8	im havin some problems in edgy with beryl, beryl runs great..but all my other gl stuff runs super choppy, etc screensavers n such. i cant upgrade to other ubuntu's becuse my nvidia card fails in fawny and gutsy	02:01
soldats	Neodudeman, no realy i kinda wanna know what you mean now	02:01
scguy318	n_o_O_b: chmod -R 777 /mnt/point	02:01
wweasel	radiomark: Gutsy, the current release, 7.10, came out a little over a month ago. Hardy is in its infancy and I disagree with scguy that you should use it.	02:01
scguy318	n_o_O_b: prefix with sudo if needs be	02:01
damaltor	Neodudeman: keyboard: small, but useable. screen: to small to play (he has the 10" version) but enough for working a few hors... not for the whole day but (he is a university student) does the job in class	02:01
kmg	hey, what's a good app with m4a to mp3 conversion?	02:01
scguy318	kmg: ffmpeg	02:01
wweasel	radiomark: Interspersed with my discussion of release cycles, I've been trying to get to my suggestion :P Have you compiled anything before?	02:01
scguy318	wweasel: what do you suggest? I only suggested Hardy because it's the option I'm aware of	02:02
radiomark	wweasel: Okay I understand a little more. Does this mean that the equivalent of me stealing from '-current' is to run the risk and take from Debian unstable?	02:02
Neodudeman	damaltor: oh man, that's exactly what I need	02:02
kmg	scguy318: thx	02:02
radiomark	wweasel: I'm quite familiar with compiling from source thanks, I just thought that using Ubuntu was meant to automate a lot of this process for me	02:02
=== YanchoAWY is now known as Yancho
captmorgan	anyone know how I can change the backgrounds on each desktop?	02:03
damaltor	Neodudeman: as far as i tried the keyboard has a good "feeling" ehile typing.. dunno how to say that right now. but feels good. good point-of-pressure ("druckpunkt" is the german word, you feel exactlyy ewhen a key is pressed) and just big enough to use it in a somehow normal way without having to look all the time... though it takes a ehile to get to know it	02:03
wweasel	radiomark: Sorry, didn't mean to offend! Yeah, it automates a lot of it. Still, it can't work magic. ALSA 1.0.15 was released after the Ubuntu release, or at least after the package freeze.	02:04
Yopu	captmorgan: i was wondering that too...if you could have multiple wallpapers for each workspace	02:04
pollo	c.abjects.net	02:04
n_o_O_b	scguy318, it may sounds noobie, but "chmod -R 777 /mnt/point" doesn't work, gives me "No such file or directory"	02:04
captmorgan	Yopu: pretty sure you can	02:04
Neodudeman	soldats: oh. well, I feel like an idiot now. lol. I thought your name was referring to the 2d shoot-em-up game called "soldat" in which you had a standard array of weapons and secondary weapons, among which include the knife and chainsaw. It's a relatively big debate among players whether to use the chainsaw or the knife; but I guess your name is based of the actual word 'soldat' which is soldier in german and dutch	02:04
scguy318	n_o_O_b: change /mnt/point to the actual mnt point of the device?	02:04
captmorgan	just need to figure it out	02:04
fontenwp	\q	02:05
wweasel	radiomark: You won't often find yourself compiling anything from source. But, in this case you'd be best off compiling Alsa from source	02:05
radiomark	wweasel: No, no offence at all! I guess I'm hoping to be able to select individual binaries from an 'ubuntu unstable', but I see that's not really how it works	02:05
damaltor	Neodudeman: but this is usual with all notebooks, takes a while to know where the special keys are and to know how far the keys are away from each other. small, nothing to use all the day, but great for class because very small. the battery doesnt run too long, but is enough for a few hours	02:05
soldats	Neodudeman, naw, buts its also a french word meaning the same thing, but it interests me to know what the game is called. i might want to check it out	02:05
damaltor	Neodudeman: if you are good in german reading, i have a great test	02:05
drarem	I have two gaming boxes and one speaker system, can I set up one of the boxes as an audio server and mix the audio from the other gaming pc into it/out to speakers?	02:05
Neodudeman	damaltor: that sounds reasonable, but I read you mention something about cpu?	02:05
Neodudeman	damaltor: lol, no, i'm not	02:06
afabian	Hmm. I have a Dell Inspiron 1420N, and it came with Feisty preinstalled. It works pretty nicely. In fact, I wouldn't bother upgrading, except ... well, it's kind of silly, actually. I like gedit, and there's a bug in the plugins. It might be easier for me to track the bug down than upgrade... but!	02:06
captmorgan	Yopu: I found this link, it just is not detailed anough for myselh http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=641087	02:06
Neodudeman	soldats: http://www.soldat.pl/screens.html here are some screenies. The game looks minimalist, but I guarantee, it's incredible	02:06
soldats	awesome thx	02:06
afabian	When I upgrade, the sound gets a little flaky. What are the odds that I could pin, say, the kernel and sound stuff, and upgrade?	02:06
DareFace	can someone help me use compiz?	02:06
wweasel	radiomark: Nope, not really any equivalent to that. Prevu is the closest thing, which automates the process of taking the deb-src (Ubuntu's modified source) from the equivalent of 'ubuntu unstable', compiling and installing it in your current environment.	02:06
damaltor	Neodudeman: oh, ok.. cpu is enough tu work. but nothing more. o/office takes a while to load, but then works good	02:07
foso	hey all, ive been working on compiz settings alot today and now it wont let me enable some of the settings like cube reflection	02:07
captmorgan	DareFace whats your ?	02:07
kmg	ugh, soundkonverter can only decode mod mid and wav files for some reason...	02:07
Pelo	DareFace, ask in #compiz-fusion	02:07
foso	pelo thanks	02:07
DareFace	j #compiz-fusion	02:07
radiomark	wweasel: Okay, that's a shame because it's not quite the time-saver I was hoping for. I guess I expected that releases would be available as packages for the system, and slowly work their way into being 'stable'	02:07
Pelo	DareFace, /join ...	02:07
Neodudeman	damaltor; did he get the 4gb, 512 version? and did he do any hardware mods?	02:07
wweasel	radiomark: Is that how it works in Slackware?	02:07
radiomark	wweasel: so I figured I'd be able to get a package for ALSA 10.0.15 because it's a release, but not the latest dev version	02:08
DareFace	thnx	02:08
damaltor	Neodudeman: yes, think so.. but no mods at all. he is a common user	02:08
radiomark	wweasel: Well in Slackware, I just take packages from -current, and install them on this system	02:08
scguy318	radiomark: you might possibly be able to manually d/l the debs for ALSA and install, but that's probably problematic	02:08
radiomark	wweasel: Sometimes it breaks stuff (eg. compiled against different library versions) so maybe I have some dependencies to update too. But it largely works.	02:08
damaltor	Neodudeman: not a modder	02:08

n_o_O_b	scguy318, I've tried "chmod -R 777 /media/disk-1", which is mount point for me. It gave me "chmod: changing permissions of `/media/disk-1': Operation not permitted	02:09
n_o_O_b	chmod: changing permissions of `/media/disk-1/lost+found': Operation not permitted	02:09
n_o_O_b	chmod: `/media/disk-1/lost+found': Permission denied"	02:09
radiomark	scguy318: Sounds like it might be problematic, as I suspect the kernels might be quite different? I don't know much about Ubuntu or Debian though	02:09
Neodudeman	damaltor: off the top of your head, do you know what the wireless card he uses is? i'll just google it if you don't know	02:09
n_o_O_b	Still no luck in copying my file	02:09
batma8	why would gl screensavers not work ONLY when beryl is running	02:09
Pelo	n_o_O_b, , use sudo	02:09
scguy318	n_o_O_b: why not just do sudo cp /path/to/source /path/to/dest?	02:10
wweasel	radiomark: Ok, so it's the equivalent of taking the deb from the development version of Ubuntu.	02:10
wweasel	radiomark: Check out 'prevu'	02:10
radiomark	wweasel: I'm trying prevu now, although not having much luck!	02:10
n_o_O_b	Pelo, sudo made no difference, I've tried	02:10
Pelo	batma8, probably because gl screensaver needs a compoziting engine	02:10
damaltor	Neodudeman: i have no idea.. me for myself, im using a netgear ma521 wich works great... but the computerim using atm is a fujitsu subnotebook, 600 mhz (!) witch xubuntu feisty on it	02:10
Pelo	n_o_O_b, why do you want to mess in the lost+found folder anyway ?	02:10
batma8	Pelo, screensavers work great UNTIL beryl is running	02:11
batma8	how do i fix that	02:11
radiomark	wweasel: I think because it looks like Ubuntu doesn't actually have an ALSA package for the drivers -- they come as part of the kernel	02:11
Neodudeman	damaltor: alright, cool, thanks. i appreciate the info	02:11
Pelo	batma8, my mistake , try asking in #compiz-fusion	02:11
batma8	sweet, thanks man	02:11
scguy318	Pelo: because he was doing chmod -R 777 ..., I didn't realize he had an ext partition	02:11
wweasel	radiomark: It does have an alsa package: alsa-base. But Alsa is a kernel module as well, you're right. that's the case with all distros, not just ubuntu	02:11
holycow	what controls resolution in the latest ubuntu? in the past the xorg.conf file would have resolution entries, now you can leave them out and something will autoguess the resolution possibilities for a particular monitor. anyone know?	02:12
radiomark	wweasel: in which case, I'd need kernel 2.6.44-rc1 or later	02:12
n_o_O_b	Pelo, I don't want to, just need to copy some stuff on drive. Can't.	02:12
Pelo	scguy318, oookkk	02:12
damaltor	Neodudeman: np... its just what it is said: a small thing to work. nothing else. only bad thing ist the battery eich is not that good... but enough.	02:12
scguy318	holycow: still xorg.conf	02:12
Pelo	n_o_O_b, sudo nautilus /path	02:12
Dr_willis	holycow, thjers a way that X can also query the monitor for what res's it can handle.	02:12
bmk789	how do i use rsync so that when it moves a file from source to destination, it deletes the source file?	02:12
n_o_O_b	I'll try sudo cp now	02:12
wols_	n_o_O_b: unmount, chmod your mountpoint, remount	02:12
damaltor	Neodudeman: on my 5 year old subnotebook here i get about 10 hours with two bats in it. the eee will not reach there but enough though	02:12
wweasel	radiomark: Well, I wouldn't backport the kernel. Your best bet in this case is compiling alsa from source.	02:13
holycow	ah so x now does this automatically neat. then kde and gnome just talk to x and fill up ther resolution change apps with whatever x tells them is possible?	02:13
wweasel	radiomark: But I suppose it's also worth considering whether Ubuntu is the right distro for you	02:13
scguy318	holycow: X has always been able to auto-detect I believe	02:13
Pelo	holycow, pretty much	02:13
wols_	radiomark: that kernel does not exist	02:13
scguy318	holycow: if you start X without an xorg.conf it tries to guess and detect defaults	02:13
Neodudeman	damaltor: lol, throwing in the german words i see. how long did you say the battery lasted again?	02:13
radiomark	wweasel: Compiling ALSA from source certainly does work	02:14
wweasel	radiomark: If you are frequently finding yourself in need of things more quickly than a 6 mo. release cycle provides, you might be best off running Debian Unstable (sid) or Debian Testing (lenny)	02:14
radiomark	wweasel: Ubuntu definitely isn't the distribution for me for many of the reasons you've seen :) The reason I am looking at it closely is as a platform for distributing to users with a piece of software (which requires ALSA 10.0.15)	02:15
dell_lin	if i am installing wireless lan card (pci) do i require firmware need to be configure /install	02:15
Neodudeman	damaltor: oh, nvm, you answered the question. I just forgot to scroll down. lol. ok, thanks again	02:15
wols_	dell_lin: depends on the chip, but most likely yes	02:15
Pir8	Can anyone suggest a good/reliable/free, automated backup application for ubuntu?	02:15
jmichaelx	i have tried everything to get my rt2500-based wireless working well in gutsy, but it is starting to look hopeless. i have blacklisted the crap gutsy rt2500pci driver, and have compiled the serialmonkey rt2500 driver... this has helped have a more stable connection to my WEP-protected home-network, but i am having an even worse time connecting to totally unencrypted public networks, usually being unable to connect at all. does anyone	02:15
jmichaelx	have a suggestion?	02:15
damaltor	Neodudeman: think the best was something about 5 hours... sorry i'm a bit drunk so my german gets through... =) it is very dependen of what u are doing, how bright the display is set, how hard u use the cpu and so on	02:15
dell_lin	dlink 510 ralink 61	02:16
wweasel	Pir8: radiomark: Well, what most people would do in this case is compile the bleeding edge I'd recommend that you compile ALSA 1.0.15 from source.	02:16

Pir8	lllno worries :)	02:16

Pir8	Sweet, thanks again mate.	02:18
wweasel	Pir8: np :)	02:18
radiomark	wweasel: Okay I will carry on compiling from source for now then. I look forward to being able to avoid this step tho. Thanks for all the help	02:18

Pelo	silent_, the way it works is that repos packages are the easiest to deal with since they have been made for and tested, deb packages are the next easiest, and last you have compiling from source with works in all linux distro	02:19
wweasel	radiomark: No problem. I know how annoying it is. My sound card (HDA Intel) wasn't supported until .14, while Feisty (previous release) only had .13. Compiling from source was my only choice, really	02:19

jubilee	Pelo.... I have to install the missing dep? b/c it does say there are things missing... Like aclocal, autoconf, automake, autoheader, makeinfo	02:56
jubilee	Is that the build-essential?	02:56
gandhii	what's a good linux nntp client?	02:57
GentleG	no - I can manually edit the .sh file i made and put in the particular dev (i.e. sda1) but when I try to pass the dev through the command line it doesn;t take it. I spent time looking it up online before I cam in here - all the references say that $1 should pass the first command line item through	02:57
gopodge	GentleG : To see what command is being constructed in the script.. put an echo in front of the mount line..	02:57
GentleG	ok	02:57
Pelo	jubilee, build-essential is only the stuff that you need to perform compiling from source, dependencies are the bits that are required for a particular app to run	02:57
jubilee	Well, what are the things that I listed as missing? I don't even know what that stuff is..	02:58
GentleG	#!/bin/bash	02:58
GentleG	echo mount ntfs-3f /dev/$1 /media/unclean -o force	02:58
gopodge	GentleG : run the script.. with your arguments .. what does it output?	02:58
GentleG	the echo output is : mount ntfs-3f /dev/ /media/unclean -o force	02:58
FluxD	GentleG: wht does that script do?	02:59
Pelo	jubilee, open synaptic and from a terminal run ./configure when you get a error that says something is missing do a search for it in synaptic, and instal it,then run ./configure again , and instll the next missing dependency from synapti, and so on until you run throught ./configure with no errors, then you run make , make creates your very own personnalised installer file, then you run sudo make install that does the actual installing	02:59
imbecile	Pelo: I've noticed alot of the downloads off gnome-look arent tar.gz and it wont let me install them. is this fixable?	02:59
jubilee	Pelo, thx!	02:59
Pelo	jubilee, but before you do any of that, check in synaptic for the app you want , much easier, next easiest is getting a .deb package from the website where yo got the soruce from	02:59
GentleG	I work in a tech shop and I have to do backups of messed up ntfs drives a lot. so this automates the force mount	02:59

gopodge	GentleG : Something is not right.. are you running the script like this ./script.sh <device argument>	03:00
gopodge	GentleG : ./script.sh sdb	03:00
GentleG	the command i've been using is sudo sh mountunclean.sh	03:01
GentleG	and then sda	03:01
Pelo	imbecile, looks to me like those have been repacked to includestuff like instrucitons and such, unpack once and drag drop the tar.gz from inside those to the theme manager	03:01

Dr_willis	_hufi_, sudo nmap -sP IPRANGE	03:06
Dr_willis	_hufi_, i recall some front ends to nmap also.	03:07

justdave	timely question, I just gave up on the Ubuntu supplied nvidia drivers (because I couldn't get X to even start with them) and installed the ones from nvidia's site (which worked)	03:14
gluonman	Okay. I've been trying and trying to install the drivers for my Logitech Quickcam Express webcam. I quite simply cannot figure the stupid thing out. Can some knowledgeable person just give me a walk-through please?	03:14
jp-mocs	sanzanric: looks pretty much like what i did	03:14
SpookyET	Is the Fedora 8 iptables firewall gui available for ubuntu?	03:15
justdave	my machine shipped with Edgy on it and nvidia's drivers installed already when I got it. I just upgraded it to Feisty and had to reinstall from nvidia's stuff to get X to work. Maybe it was just having problems trying to fix the existing config or something	03:15
sanzanric	jp-mocs, sorry, what are you trying to do, sorry i have been in this channel a couple of seconds?	03:16
justdave	which leads to why I actually came in here myself... was just upgrading said machine from Feisty to Gutsy, and the updater died in the middle of the update	03:16
lele	it was the first installation	03:16
justdave	no clue why it died, I just noticed the noise from the hard drive stopped, and I looked up and the window was gone	03:16
justdave	and picking the updater off the menu didn't do anything	03:16
justdave	Tried to run Synaptic and it told me dpkg was interrupted and run it from the command line to fix	03:17
lele	and after i'd try to install the vidia drivers but with a lot of problem with gnome	03:17
justdave	so dpkg --configure -a is doing its thing now...	03:17
justdave	but I was wondering if there's anything else I need to do besides letting dpkg finish that the updater would have done before rebooting	03:17
justdave	IIRC when I updated from Edgy to Feisty it did some other cleanup stuff after the install and configure	03:18

iSE	bazhang: whats the alternative install method besides CD though? In fact, im not sure what it is myself, but can't you add the DVD as a repo?	03:56
pianoboy3333	iSE: yea, if you add the cd as repos you can upgrade that way	03:56
pianoboy3333	iSE: or the dvd	03:56
desertc	question: anyone else have a problem when they click a link on Firefox where it should ask "download or open with application" that the file starts displaying as text, instead? Anyone know how to fix this annoyance?	03:56

iSE	Zombie: Open Synaptic Package manager from System > Administration. Goto Settings > Repositories, then click the third party software tab, and then the button "Add CD-Rom".

EdwardXP	can i trust you bazhang	04:05
pianoboy3333	gluonman: plus installing the source package from the repositories is a much better way	04:05

pianoboy3333	gluonman: you comfortable with the terminal?	04:06
BarryToeman	gluonman: take a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam	04:06

pedro__	ny other app... what could happened?	04:20
pianoboy3333	gluonman: so try adding "quickcam-messenger" to the end of the list	04:20

bmt2	BarryToeman: yes...that is what lead to me to synaptic	05:07
Montoya	dpupp: did you install video card drivers?	05:07
Cpudan80	vasilisa: In fact, I know it is -- it works off the live CD	05:07
BarryToeman	bmt2: there is a section that shows you how to test it	05:07
vasilisa	oh ok	05:07
Wargasm	what music player do you guys recommend?	05:07

Wargasm	i want to play flac and mp3	05:08
gluonman	pianoboy3333, okay. Thanks anyway.	05:08
IcemanV9	vasilisa: you do not need to install samba on winxp; listen to Cpudan80	05:08
slayer_	I like VLC for music/video	05:08
Montoya	dpupp: do you have nvidia card?	05:08
Wargasm	vlc is alright	05:08
brand0con	dpupp: an easy way to get your video drivers installed is with a tool called envy	05:08
lammy	hi all!	05:08
bmt2	BarryToeman: i was just curious because when i installed php...there was only 2 files	05:08
dpupp	Montoya, No, its an ATI mobility (dell inspiron 4150)	05:08
bmt2	i didn't think that was right	05:08
Montoya	dpupp: that's what I was about to suggest	05:08
Montoya	brand0con: does envy work for ATI?	05:08
zetheroo	dpupp: what video card do you have?	05:08
BarryToeman	bmt2: you mean just two packages to install?	05:09
dpupp	Brand0con, Envy? i will look into that in a sec.	05:09
brand0con	dpupp: i know at least most ATI setups work with envy	05:09
lammy	can anyone tell me why the program truecrypt isn't part of the gutsy-repos!? should be!!!	05:09
bmt2	BarryToeman: yes	05:09
Montoya	dpupp: get envy, that's the best advice I have	05:09
dpupp	Be right back... checking up on ENVY.	05:09
brand0con	dpupp: its always worked on my nvidia machines	05:09
dpupp	thanks	05:09
Shpook	Anyone ever had connection problems with Gobby? or at least heard of it?\	05:09
brand0con	http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html	05:09
Montoya	someone want to help me with my ethernet card?	05:09
BarryToeman	bmt2: that's normal for just php you probably only need the package "php5"	05:09
silent_	hmmmmmmmmmm	05:09
silent_	"touch: cannot touch `this': Permission denied"	05:09
zetheroo	dpupp: I have used ATI cards on all of my 3 Thinkpad laptops, and I never had to use Envy for driver installation	05:10
bmt2	BarryToeman: thanks	05:10
bazhang	!envy \| dpupp	05:10
ubotu	dpupp: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »	05:10
IcemanV9	silent_: use sudo	05:10
BarryToeman	bmt2: just read through that page quickly. it has good info.	05:10

vasilisa	slayer_: Kate :D	05:11
zetheroo	dpupp: if you have one of the newer ATI cards you should use the fglrx driver in Ubuntu Synaptic together with the xgl-server package for effects	05:11
=== joko is now known as sperm
Montoya	anyone here have a dell inspiron 5150?	05:11
nickrud	lammy, open the trash icon and pull them out	05:12
BarryToeman	lammy: did you "Empty Trash"?	05:12
zetheroo	dpupp: if you have the older ATI cards you should be able to do everything with the open source ati or radeon drivers	05:12
IcemanV9	slayer_: geany	05:12
lammy	:nickrud: ^^ - after i sad "emty trash" ...	05:12
nickrud	lammy, no, they're gone then, same as windows	05:12
Wargasm	is ext3 the best file system for linux?	05:13
Montoya	can someone help me set up ndiswrapper for my machine?	05:13
nickrud	Wargasm, best general purpose	05:13
Wargasm	ok	05:13
Cpudan80	vasilisa: Yes, smb://ip-of-other-machine	05:13
zetheroo	Montoya: what wifi device?	05:13
Wargasm	good enough for me then	05:13

Skrypt	I'm using a LiveCD and am trying to copy files from one of my hard drives to my external hard drive but am getting a permissions error. What can I do?	05:13
lammy	nickrud: but isn't there a possibility to undelete them like the command undelete under dos ...!?	05:13
zetheroo	Montoya: so what do you need help with?	05:13
Montoya	zetheroo: I think my wifi works, but my ethernet doesn't	05:13
slayer_	thanks, geany looks like what I am looking for. code completion = teh win	05:13
zetheroo	Montoya: you THINK your wifi works??	05:14
Montoya	zetheroo: Network Manager shows it's connecting, but then I don't get any internet	05:14
Montoya	zetheroo: I can't test it, but it picks up networks	05:14
BarryToeman	Wargasm: depends on what you are doing and your hardware, but ususally ext3 is great	05:14
zetheroo	Montoya: your wifi or ethernet?	05:14
Montoya	zetheroo: I don't have my own network that I can play with	05:14
Montoya	my wifi picks up networks	05:14
Wargasm	yeah i was just wondering if i chose the correct file system, i figured ext3 was the best though	05:14
nickrud	lammy, not really, there's e2undel but it's of limited utility.	05:14
Montoya	is it possible that when wifi is running, the wired connection won't work?	05:14
zetheroo	Montoya: so what are you trying to connect to if you don't have a metwork?	05:15
Montoya	I'm trying to connect to my modem with my ethernet cable	05:15
Montoya	my desktop can use it but my laptop can't	05:15
Wargasm	usually youd want a router between the modem and your pc	05:15
zetheroo	Montoya: ok... is your ethernet device installed ?	05:15
atrus	lammy: i've had reasonably good luck with ext3rminator for undeleting on ext3 partitions.	05:15
nickrud	Montoya, yes, network manager can only handle one connection at a time (or last time I read up, just before gutsy release)	05:16
Montoya	zetheroo: Yes, as far as I can tell, I installed drivers for it and it shows up in Network Manager, it even says it's connecting	05:16
Montoya	nickrud: Oh! How do I turn off wireless then???	05:16
Wargasm	so then youd have to disable wifi to use ethernet right	05:16
Montoya	yes please, how!??	05:16
nickrud	Montoya, right click the network applet, turn off wireless.	05:16
BarryToeman	lammy: might find something good here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery	05:16
