| topyli | joseph: it's in use by esd probably. tell xmms to use esd for output | 12:03 |

| highvoltage | secata: you'd have to mount the disk-image rw | 12:15 |
| jasoncohen | what the hell is wrong with the webmin from backports? first, it doesn't work with sudo. you have to have your root account enabled. secondly, it says my ssh server isn't configured, and apparently the configuration for the webmin-sshd is blank. | 12:15 |

| thoreauputic | Dr_Melectaus: you can also use beep-media-player, which plays mp3 by default - just enable esound output | 01:28 |
| z|bandito | so it can't be an inherent incompatibility.. ubuntu actually has provided the best hw support for that box so far of a few distros | 01:28 |

| Seveas | sara_poo__, aha, is it muted in any way..? | 01:58 |
| sara_poo__ | Seveas, doesn't look like it. 'mute' in a terminal is not found... not a command | 01:59 |
| sara_poo__ | (was in my last distro though) | 01:59 |

| caonex | tahorg, what both stand for? | 02:00 |
| Seveas | sara_poo__, ubuntu uses esd, so mpg321 needs to be told to use esd | 02:00 |

| tiglionabbit | *easier | 04:00 |
| nomasteryoda|w | easy as hell to install | 04:00 |

| CarlFK | the people make it better | 04:01 |
| seth220993 | yeah | 04:01 |
| tkiesel | tiglionabbit and reka: Here's my plan. Format the partition and reinstall GRUB from the rescue terminal of the install CD, then copy over the existing grub menu to the new boot partition. Good idea? Bad? | 04:01 |
| === CarlFK claps for the hard working peope | ||
| tiglionabbit | tkiesel: any reason you need a boot partition now, but didn't before? | 04:01 |
| LinuxNewbie | got another question, what is the best linux for users restrictions | 04:01 |
| optiout | so the anaconda-like installer, and the newer apt releases is the reason that you are better than debian? | 04:01 |
| b_e_n_z | there's no anaconda like installer | 04:02 |
| nomasteryoda|w | comparison: suse kernel - current 2.6.11.4-21.7 and ... ubuntu kernel 2.6.12-3-386 i'm using | 04:02 |
| LinuxNewbie | like you can restric the use of yahoo, or chat software | 04:02 |
| tkiesel | tiglionabbit: There's a boot partition. It's just housed in the Windows partition we're going to destroy. | 04:02 |
| nomasteryoda|w | very nice | 04:02 |
| optiout | o -- I assumed there was, since they said it was easier than debian | 04:02 |
| seth220993 | anyway, the dpkg L mozilla-firefox command, it says I need an action option | 04:02 |
| CarlFK | LinuxNewbie - I think you need to browse sf.net ... I was looking for something like this about 6 months ago, there are about 50 relevent projects | 04:02 |
| tiglionabbit | optiout: ubuntu has regular releases and upgrades, so it wont get 3 years behind like debian does. We are nice people, and try and make things easy to use | 04:02 |
| Dr_Melectaus | I got online with ubuntu and i use AOHell :D | 04:02 |
| tkiesel | tiglionabbit: So the short answer to your question is that there was a boot partition before. lol | 04:02 |

| jtan325 | pschulz01, .bash_profile only gets exectued if you log in from the command line | 05:03 |
| tiglionabbit | CVirus: first you need to know what partition it is on. Is it on the first partition of your primary hard drive? | 05:03 |

| Grunt | Dr_Melectaus, no | 05:03 |

| mikeworking | In a nutshell, fire up tftpd, fire up dhcpd -- both, not easy to configure for a newbie -- copy some stuff from Ubuntu CDROM to /tftpboot, then choose PXE to connect to it from laptop -- you're thrown auto. into install, but it's a net install. | 05:58 |
| new2ubuntu | how do I initiate a configuration after I boot the first time and I am unable to start gnome? (I need to configure it correctly apparently but I can't do so) | 05:58 |

| mikeworking | Then, it will moan that it needs an Internet connection eventually, so you have to switch cables from isolated net to Internet. | 05:58 |
| CarlFK | mikeworking - also I figured out how to avoid some of the copying: mount the iso under the /tftpboot and make a link from www to it | 05:58 |

| mikeworking | Then, it will install everything almost perfectly, but for me, at least, it was missing a bunch of gnome junk and I had to apt-get a dozen items to repair that. | 05:59 |
| mikeworking | BTW, CarlFK, why did you use WWW? I never had to do that. Was easier without that. | 05:59 |
| CarlFK | so that it would load everything from the CD image - no need for the internet connection | 06:00 |

| tiglionabbit | what is out of range? your refresh rate? | 06:03 |
| new2ubuntu | it can't auto-detect my screen, and It's not just my install, the live CD doesn't work either, | 06:03 |

| curut | can anyone help me aliitle here | 06:45 |
| curut | i am a new linux user started iwth ubuntu and there is this command asking me for libpng | 06:45 |
| stevef_ | leon: hmmm... on my system /usr/bin/gcc is a symlink to gcc-4.0 | 06:45 |
| curut | but when i try to apt-get install libpng , libpng is not found | 06:45 |
| wizo | hmm | 06:46 |
| curut | so what the dir for libpng? | 06:46 |
| Dr_Melectaus | See the take screenshot option, how do you make it so the screenie doesnt come out the size of a thumbnail | 06:46 |
| `crimsun | curut, you should have libpng12-0 already installed | 06:46 |
| leon | Sould i try to tyupe in /usr/bin/gcc/gcc-4.0 ? | 06:46 |
| stevef_ | leon: and /usr/bin/gcc belongs to the gcc package. So maybe in addition to gcc-4.0 you also need to install gcc as well | 06:46 |
| `crimsun | curut, are you trying to compile an application? | 06:46 |

| stevef_ | leon: no, it's /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 | 06:47 |
| wizo | leon, dun forget cd <== | 06:47 |
| `crimsun | curut, if so, you need to install the libpng12-dev package | 06:47 |
| wizo | oh yeh | 06:47 |
| leon | stevef_: Ok | 06:47 |
| curut | ok | 06:47 |
| leon | I will try that | 06:47 |
| lpih | hey i'm on windows now and i'm wondering if ubuntu has NTFS support by default | 06:48 |
| `crimsun | lpih, it has read support by default | 06:48 |
| wizo | lpih, u have to mount it | 06:48 |
| wizo | u cant write but only read | 06:48 |
| stevef_ | leon: specifying /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 as your compiler will probably work, but most packages that need a C compiler will look for /usr/bin/gcc so it's a good idea to install the gcc package. | 06:49 |
| curut | hey they coulnd find libpng12-dev | 06:49 |

| leon | stevef_: What is the location of the "gcc" program on your machine? /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 | 06:49 |
| leon | The answer "/usr/bin/gcc-4.0" is invalid. It must be the complete name of a | 06:49 |
| leon | binary file. | 06:49 |
| leon | What is the location of the "gcc" program on your machine? | 06:49 |

| __Lamont__ | I have pretty limited linux experience though fortunately it mostly is with using bash in an x-less environment :p | 06:58 |

| Amaranth | hey guys | 07:00 |
| stevef_ | __Lamont__: by mouse not working, are you getting an error? Or is the mouse just not moving the cursor? X is starting ok? | 07:00 |

| curut | `crimsun, how do i save? | 07:01 |
| __Lamont__ | stevef - ubuntu boots to X just fine. Mouse cursor is center screen and doesn't move | 07:01 |
| `crimsun | Amaranth, what sort of paint? | 07:01 |
| jasoncohen | crimsun, that was done automatically in debian. shouldn't it be done automatically in ubuntu? | 07:01 |
| curut | its in form of dos.. there is this whole bunch of letter below | 07:01 |
| stevef_ | __Lamont__: and you've checked that the modules are loaded? | 07:01 |

| `crimsun | Amaranth, ah. Thought you were painting a house or something. | 07:03 |
| curut | `crimsun, so i can install it now? | 07:04 |
| jasoncohen | Amaranth, can't the system tell if it's a farily new drive? debian usually has pretty safe settings. if sarge enabled DMA, i would think ubuntu could | 07:04 |
| Amaranth | well, i was :) | 07:04 |
| thoreauputic | crimsun: artists still use lead white, too :) | 07:04 |

| leon | stevef_: What is the location of the directory of c header files that match your running kernel? | 07:04 |

| __Lamont__ | stevef - I'ma find a boring basic PS/2 mouse without lots of extra buttons and piug it in without my KVM, and reboot | 07:04 |
| Amaranth | `crimsun: I forget, does gasoline take paint off? | 07:05 |
| stevef_ | leon: hmm.... there is a linux-headers package that provides the kernel's internal C headers, that is probably what you want. | 07:05 |
| leon | stevef_: yes, that sound right | 07:05 |

| paul_ | there's also the extra backport repositories - they newer | 07:23 |
| thoreauputic | steven_: it's pointless - the latest hoary firefox has all the security fixes: all you need to do is type about:config in the location bar and change the vendor sub string to 1.0.4 | 07:23 |
| Burgundavia | steven_, you already have the latest firefox | 07:23 |
| paul_ | steven - have you searched using Synaptic??? | 07:23 |
| thoreauputic | steven_: stop it please | 07:23 |
| `crimsun | cmatheson, it's better to recommend libx11-dev in that case | 07:23 |
| nootrope | steven_: you're getting obnoxious | 07:23 |
| Burgundavia | paul_, there is a bug in ff that they cannot tell whether or not a version has been patched | 07:23 |
| steven_ | no the latest is 1.0.4 i have 1.0 | 07:23 |
| cmatheson | `crimsun: really? | 07:23 |
| paul_ | nope, you can get Firefox 1.04 off the backport repository | 07:23 |
| Burgundavia | steven_, you have all the security fixes for 1.0.4 backported | 07:23 |

| `crimsun | cmatheson, yeah, I always recommend x-dev unless libx11-dev is actually needed | 07:23 |

| `crimsun | Luke, it can be rather tricky, because you need to enable the microphone selection in multiple places, and some sound chipsets require additional finagling | 07:37 |
| thoreauputic | Dr_Melectaus: don't judge Debian by the channel - it's a great distro | 07:37 |
| curut | cmatheson, what does this Error: The GUI requires GTK devel packages (which were not found). refer to?, i installed GTK-engine-dev but still have the same error | 07:38 |
| thoreauputic | curut: I think `crimsun already answered you above | 07:38 |
| Luke | `crimsun: any idea where else I may need to look? i'm using the same kernel that I did on another distro on this same computer where the mic worked so i know my kernel config is correct | 07:38 |
| `crimsun | curut, did you see what I typed above regarding libgtk2.0-dev or libgtk1.2-dev? | 07:38 |
| cmatheson | curut: you'll want libgtk2.0-dev (or maybe the older libs... does it tell what version you're looking for?) | 07:38 |
| curut | oo sry | 07:39 |
| curut | i missed that | 07:39 |
| Dr_Melectaus | can i apt-get login-themes ? | 07:39 |
| cmatheson | curut: generally if it says you're missing something when you want to compile, just add -dev to the name of the library it wants | 07:39 |
| `crimsun | Luke, I highly doubt it's a kernel issue; much more likely to be a mixer issue. An element needs to be unmuted. | 07:39 |
| cmatheson | curut: you can use apt-cache or aptitude/synaptic to look for the exact name of the lib | 07:39 |
| Luke | `crimsun: well i'm trying to use all alsa/hardware mixing (i've got an audigy 2 value) and i've unmuted and turned everything up in alsamixer | 07:40 |
| thoreauputic | Dr_Melectaus: anything to do with login, try apt-cache search gdm | grep <keyword> (i suggest) | 07:40 |
| Luke | `crimsun: what else could access different elements? | 07:40 |
| `crimsun | Luke, did you press F4 to access alsamixer's Capture view? | 07:41 |
| Luke | `crimsun: yea | 07:41 |
| thoreauputic | Dr_Melectaus: looks like there's a gdm-themes package... | 07:41 |
| curut | cmatheson, yea i tried with the synatic, just too many files hahah confused me | 07:41 |
| `crimsun | Luke, and unmuted capture, then selected the one you want to capture via F3 and spacebar? | 07:41 |
| curut | cmatheson, oo waht abt the apt-cahce how do i use that? | 07:41 |
| Luke | `crimsun: my card has never been able to select a capture channel | 07:42 |
| Dr_Melectaus | thoreauputic, not sure if ive got it but is it called xbanner? | 07:42 |
| thoreauputic | curut: apt-cache search <keywords> | 07:42 |
| cmatheson | curut: it does a lot (you can read the man-page), but apt-cache search <foo> is pretty usefull (usually you'll want to pipe it through 'less', as it may spit out many package-names | 07:42 |
| thoreauputic | Dr_Melectaus: umm... no idea | 07:42 |
| `crimsun | Luke, with the space bar? | 07:42 |
| thoreauputic | Dr_Melectaus: try gdm-themes | 07:42 |
| Luke | `crimsun: yea there is nothing to toggle | 07:42 |

| thoreauputic | TestDummy: I suggest again that you google "XP fix MBR howto" or similar | 08:06 |
| parham | i think it recognizes my video card because the color is just fine and the resolution is 1024x768 | 08:06 |
| parham | that is what it should be | 08:06 |

| Amaranth | Blue_Summer: Run 'wine file.exe' from a terminal | 08:29 |
| Arilou | now that's a good reason to update! | 08:29 |
| paul_ | Blue - install winetools will get you going most easily | 08:29 |

| Amaranth | Blue_Summer: 'wine file.exe' | 08:29 |
| Blue_Summer | lol ty | 08:29 |
| Burgundavia | Arilou, you still have just under 10 months of support for warty | 08:29 |
| Xenguy | Arilou: if you are so cautious, then check the changelog | 08:29 |
| Arilou | oh... | 08:29 |
| Amaranth | Burgundavia: 18 months from release | 08:29 |
| Burgundavia | Amaranth, indeed, when breezy+1 releases next April | 08:30 |
| paul_ | Blue_Summer - after you've installed wine, you still need a few windows dlls - winetools will take you through the necessary setup | 08:30 |
| Arilou | well most of the time i don't use support | 08:30 |
| Arilou | i fix things myself... | 08:30 |
| Burgundavia | Arilou, support includes security updates | 08:30 |
| Blue_Summer | paul_, so i need to mark wine tools for installation? | 08:30 |
| Arilou | oh I see so support == updates :) i get it now | 08:31 |
| chillywilly | hmm, but I can browse this repo with my web browser so I do not understand why I get Ign lines when doing an apt-get update | 08:31 |

| Arilou | oh well | 08:32 |
| Arilou | aghhhh | 08:32 |
| LinuxNewbie | is IPTABLES like a software like samba? | 08:32 |
| Blue_Summer | paul_, i don't have the winetools in synaptic only winedoc | 08:32 |
| LinuxNewbie | or squid? | 08:32 |
| Arilou | no | 08:32 |
| paul_ | well, iptables is a packet filter that uses rules to tell what gets in & what gets stopped | 08:32 |
| Arilou | it's a firewall | 08:32 |
| Xenguy | LinuxNewbie: Jesus H Christ | 08:32 |

| Prottie | but as apple is switching to intel I am not going to buy a new powerbook until they have changed. going to use the cheap dell for about a year or so. | 08:41 |

| chillywilly | ok, I have determined that it is only this specific DVD that will not play because of the region coding crap | 08:55 |
| Burgundavia | but it only does wep I think | 08:55 |
| jasoncohen | Burgundavia, yeah, but you can setup WEP with network-admin | 08:55 |
| jasoncohen | NM allows for multiple wireless networks though, right? | 08:55 |
| Burgundavia | NM allows a bunch of cool things | 08:55 |
| Burgundavia | like network auto detection and other stuff | 08:55 |
| jasoncohen | has it been backported to hoary? | 08:55 |
| Burgundavia | needs major deps | 08:56 |
| Burgundavia | talk to the backports people | 08:56 |
| jasoncohen | it installs in sid but didn't work for me | 08:56 |
| jasoncohen | also, why isn't boot-admin included? it's in gnome-system-tools on debian but not ubuntu. lilo.conf has a windows entry but when i start up it goes immediately into ubuntu without a menu option | 08:57 |
| Burgundavia | I have no idea | 08:57 |
| HrdwrBoB | jasoncohen: ubuntu uses grub. | 08:57 |
| Burgundavia | I think there is a plan to work on something better | 08:57 |

| Dr_Melectaus | once ive converted it to a deb what do i do Xyc0 *** | 09:26 |
| teddy` | i know this machine is a beast.. going thru divorce.. alll i have.. nuff said | 09:26 |
| Burgundavia | s/ing/ed | 09:26 |
| berkes | but I cannot find how and where to get the actual kernel modules | 09:26 |
| berkes | any hints? | 09:26 |
| === whiprush [~jorge@arslinux.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| jasoncohen | berkes, http://prism54.org/~mcgrof/firmware/ | 09:26 |
| Xyc0 | Dr_Melectaus: install the .deb file using dpkg | 09:26 |
| Dr_Melectaus | k | 09:26 |
| teddy` | hmm... wondering if its even better to hold off until i get a new box and run and older version of mandrake or something | 09:26 |
| jasoncohen | cp 1.0.4.3 to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890 (or firmware of your chip) | 09:26 |
| Xyc0 | Dr_Melectaus: also make sure synaptic is closed | 09:26 |
| berkes | jasoncohen, thanks | 09:27 |
| Dr_Melectaus | k | 09:27 |
| jasoncohen | berkes, the module is already included with the kernel | 09:27 |
| jasoncohen | you just need the firmware | 09:27 |
| sugoruyo | is there anyone who can help me with these mouse problems??????? | 09:27 |
| Xyc0 | I got ndiswrapper to use my wireless finally, but now my boot time lags when it is configuring the networking. Can anyone suggest a resource to fix that? | 09:27 |
| berkes | jasoncohen, okay. thats why i could not find the package for the module :) | 09:28 |
| teddy` | can ubuntu be installed via HD or cd install only/ | 09:28 |
| Dr_Melectaus | Xyc0, do i put the .deb in my home dir then in terminal "sudo dpkg -i LimeWireLinux.deb | 09:28 |
| Dr_Melectaus | " | 09:28 |
| jasoncohen | berkes, almost all modules are included in the kernel as a module or built in and ubuntu even has linux-restricted-modules which includes closed source modules like nvidia, fglrx, madwifi etc. | 09:28 |
| Silent_Bob | teddy - ubuntu installs from the CD only no probs - of course, the repositories are online | 09:28 |
| === hor [~hor@pD9E1956E.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| drosan | any way to do a network install of ubuntu? | 09:29 |
| Xyc0 | you can network install anything | 09:29 |
| Dr_Melectaus | am i meant to put lim.deb ? | 09:29 |
| === bosewicht [~bosewicht@bosewicht.student.supporter.pdpc] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| teddy` | now as in network do you mean over the LAN or over tcp? | 09:30 |
| jasoncohen | drosan, ubuntu doesn't have a network install CD like debian | 09:30 |
| Xyc0 | Dr_Melectaus: No i am just being too lazy to spell out LimWireLinux.deb | 09:30 |
| fabbione | yes we do | 09:30 |
| jasoncohen | fabbione, oh, where? | 09:30 |
| Silent_Bob | yes, but it's a different iso | 09:30 |
| drosan | jasoncohen: Ok, that was what i was looking for | 09:30 |
| jasoncohen | i guess i was mistaken then | 09:30 |
| fabbione | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hoary/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ | 09:30 |
| Xyc0 | Dr_Melectaus: if you type out the first few letters then hit TAB it finishes it for you | 09:30 |
| Dr_Melectaus | shit how do i cd to hom, im in melectaus@ubuntu | 09:31 |
| sugoruyo | hello? anyone out there???? | 09:31 |
| drosan | fabbione: thx | 09:31 |
| Dr_Melectaus | i need to go back a dir | 09:31 |
| Xyc0 | Dr_Melectaus: thats it | 09:31 |
| Dr_Melectaus | how do i go back cd ../home | 09:31 |
| Silent_Bob | just "cd" will do it | 09:32 |
| highvoltage | Dr_Melectaus: back where? | 09:32 |
| highvoltage | to /home? | 09:32 |
| Dr_Melectaus | im in /home/melectaus | 09:32 |
| Silent_Bob | well, to /home/USER | 09:32 |
| highvoltage | cd .. | 09:32 |
| Dr_Melectaus | yes i need to /home | 09:32 |
| highvoltage | or cd /home | 09:32 |
| Silent_Bob | oh, then "cd .." | 09:32 |
| Xyc0 | Dr_Melectaus: I would suggest taking a class in BASH or reading up on BASH promt | 09:32 |
| highvoltage | or cd ../ | 09:32 |
| teddy` | say if a guy didnt have accesss to a burner could he copy the ubuntu cd to say /Ubuntu, boot up, and install from that dir? | 09:32 |
| Xyc0 | teddy`: not quite | 09:33 |
| teddy` | not quite, meaning it is possible thou? | 09:33 |
| Silent_Bob | never seen disk only install as an option, but not saying it can't be done | 09:33 |
| Xyc0 | teddy`: How would your computer know to look for it there | 09:33 |
| highvoltage | hmmm.. i've wondered about that too. does ubuntu have any kind of net install atm? | 09:33 |
| Xyc0 | teddy`: You can mount the updates and install that way, but to reformat your system and install it must be via CDROM | 09:34 |

| djp | does anyone know if ubuntu keeps a log of cron jobs executed? | 11:11 |
| Edulix | Amaranth: if I downloaded from a US peer being me in spain, no problem to ME | 11:11 |
| Amaranth | even if it was legal here i wouldn't do it | 11:11 |
| Seveas | Amaranth, the US peer is probably breaking the law | 11:11 |
| Seveas | but an ES or NL peer downloading it not | 11:11 |
| monchichi | http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8419601/ | 11:11 |
| IceDC571 | the US peer is just stupid for wanting to share movies in the first place | 11:11 |
| Seveas | The downloader is breaking the implicit rules of good netizenship though :) | 11:11 |
| IceDC571 | why cant you just buy the full quality dvd from a shop? | 11:11 |
| Amaranth | i buy my music off iTunes (support the artists, easier) and watch movies in the theater (their entertainment system is nicer than mine) | 11:12 |
| Edulix | IceDC571: that's his business :P | 11:12 |
| Amaranth | the US peer is breaking US law, of course | 11:12 |
| monchichi | Seveas, check the link, people in netherlands got rolled on too | 11:12 |
| Edulix | IceDC571: are you really doing that question ? maybe becuase it's not cheap ? | 11:12 |
| Amaranth | anyway, this is all highly off-topic and is actually one of the banned topics, so yeah | 11:13 |
| Edulix | hehe ok | 11:13 |
| Seveas | monchichi, those aren't downloaders, but crackers :) | 11:13 |
| IceDC571 | Amaranth: would libdvdcss2 be illegal in the US? | 11:13 |
| monchichi | true, but they targeted crackers because they cant possibly target all the downloaders | 11:14 |
| IceDC571 | decss i mean | 11:14 |
| Amaranth | yes | 11:14 |
| Amaranth | canada too | 11:14 |
| Amaranth | and much of the EU | 11:14 |
| Seveas | Amaranth, well, to be really strict: this kind of discussion is not one of the 'banned topics' since we're not supporting people trying to do illegal things ;) | 11:14 |
| sobralense | Ok ok, U have great theaters with a brand new movie playing .. but here... | 11:14 |

| IceDC571 | so how do I view dvds in linux legally? pshh.. | 11:14 |
| Amaranth | IceDC571: You pay $30 for this program that only works on one version of one distro. | 11:15 |
| IceDC571 | Amaranth: whats that? | 11:15 |

| Amaranth | IceDC571: The distro is turbolinux, iirc. | 11:15 |
| Edulix | monchichi: maybe it was illegal to distribute the things but not to download them ? | 11:16 |
| IceDC571 | i dont really watch dvds on the computer anyway | 11:16 |
| IceDC571 | so i guess im good | 11:16 |
| ailean | you can watch dvds in linux legally by paying a royalty | 11:16 |
| Edulix | actually I belive some distros distribuced some parts of libdvdcss that are legal | 11:17 |
| Edulix | so that you can play dvd but not rip it | 11:17 |
| Amaranth | libdvdcss is not legal at all | 11:17 |
| Edulix | AMaranth: talk with linspire about that :P | 11:17 |
| Amaranth | Edulix: They're nuts. | 11:17 |
| IceDC571 | lol.. linspire wont be legal for long.. | 11:18 |
| Amaranth | Breaking the encryption to play a movie is just as illegal as breaking the encryption to rip a movie. | 11:18 |
| IceDC571 | i cant believe walmart gave in to their deal | 11:18 |
| Edulix | IceDC571: I think that if they do that it's because it's legal, and they are surely more informed than me, I don't know about you... | 11:19 |
| Amaranth | Edulix: No, the guy that started linspire just likes to piss big people off. | 11:19 |

| LinuxNewbie | ok thanks alot | 11:52 |
| jeroen_ | curut, In synaptic, right-click on amsn -> mark suggested for installation -> imagemagick. That'll select imagemagick for installations aswell. You don't need to install the other 3 things Amsn suggests, they're 3 different browsers (and shouldn't really show up there) | 11:52 |
| javier_ | i need the apache2.conf | 11:52 |
| javier_ | please | 11:52 |
| Edulix | javier: the default one | 11:53 |

| Edulix | javier_: sorry I haven't got it installed | 11:53 |

| Edulix | javier_: you might just extract it from the deb package, I think | 11:54 |
| javier_ | the file is corrupt | 11:54 |
| Edulix | javier_: the deb package ? | 11:54 |

| holycow | linux is merely a 'reingeneering' of the unix toolsets and philosophy | 01:44 |
| Prottie | LinuxNewbie: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf print and read this one. it is very good if you want to learn samba. | 01:44 |
| holycow | and with the freedom, new tools are bein built | 01:44 |
| === Will__ prays he can do this without re-rolling his kernel | ||
| holycow | LinuxNewbie, as a very very simple example | 01:44 |
| rasputnik | Will__: np :) technically you dont need masquerade ( NAT )unless you are trying to let multiple machines share a single ip, but it'll get you lots of good howtos | 01:44 |
| jaga | hi | 01:45 |
| Will__ | There is something sacred to me about this, my first ubuntu install. Everything so far has just *worked* | 01:45 |
| holycow | lets say you get a virus/spyware on a windows system and it hoses msie | 01:45 |
| jaga | will any one help me installing my sound player | 01:45 |
| jaga | to ubuntu | 01:45 |
| holycow | LinuxNewbie, how do you fix it? | 01:45 |
| jaga | its giveng me problme | 01:45 |
| sktrdie | enrico: for example If i try doing apt-get install mplayer | 01:45 |
| holycow | answer: you cant you haveto reinstall the whole system because they shoved a tool into the os that doesn't belong there | 01:45 |
| === morgs [~morgan@wblv-146-225-53.telkomadsl.co.za] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| LinuxNewbie | ok now | 01:45 |
| holycow | you can't just take ie out and reinstall/repair/etc. right? | 01:45 |
| Will__ | rasputnik: I've usually let ipcop deal with firewall/packet forwarding issues for me. Perhaps today I will learn how to do it myself | 01:45 |
| holycow | with linux, you can pull any component out, look at it, fix it, config it, etc. | 01:45 |
| enrico | sktrdie: use aptitude, its better for back-dependencies, you should do "sudo aptitude search whatyoursearching" | 01:45 |
| holycow | so a: windows is simply a poor set of tools | 01:46 |
| enrico | sktrdie: then "sudo aptitude install therightname" | 01:46 |
| holycow | but it also is b: a set of gui wizards that automate most basic tasks | 01:46 |
| sktrdie | enrico: I think that my X is configured properly, I would like to reinstall it.. how do I do it | 01:46 |
| holycow | the consequence of b: is that people are tricked into thinking that its okay to be stupid and ignorant | 01:46 |
| enrico | sktrdie: reinstall it or just reconfigure it? | 01:46 |
| sktrdie | reisntall | 01:46 |
| holycow | that you can operate something as complicated as an os with no training / learning /thinking at all | 01:46 |
| enrico | sktrdie: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg for reconfiguring | 01:46 |
| holycow | and that simply is not true | 01:46 |
| rasputnik | Will__: I confess I've never done it in Linux land (I'm a BSD guy, I've only just come back to Linux). But the priciples involved are universal | 01:47 |
| holycow | so yes, some windows users are put off by linux, primarily because they can no longer be lazy | 01:47 |
| jaga | will some one give me help to configer my cd player | 01:47 |
| === Fanskapet [~din@h112n1fls303o1124.telia.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| sktrdie | enrico: reinstall? | 01:47 |
| holycow | it's a combination of primarily those two that make microsoft a hazard to everyone | 01:47 |
| enrico | sktrdie: and "sudo aptitude remove xserver-xorg; sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg" | 01:47 |
| LinuxNewbie | ok can firestarter monitor the website visited on each computer | 01:47 |
| holycow | otherwise its a company of some very smart and talented people | 01:47 |
| Will__ | rasputnik: I'm BSD also. I turned to ubuntu as...Linux makes a nicer desktop. I can see my BSD server from here. It needs to connect to the net though this box though | 01:47 |
| Originoo | I've heared there would be some problems when i remove sudo, is it true? i don't like to use sudo... | 01:47 |
| LinuxNewbie | or buy each log in to samba? | 01:48 |
| LinuxNewbie | by i mean | 01:48 |
| Will__ | LinuxNewbie: What was your original problem? I think I walked in half-way though this | 01:48 |
| sktrdie | enrico: ok I'll try that... but yet if i try doing apt-get install mplayer, it installs mplayer, but I dunno how to open it, If I do mpalyer in terminal it wont work | 01:48 |
| rasputnik | holycow: but a lot of people just want to Get Things Done, don't they? I don't think it's fair to expect them to be gurus. M$ main failing is that they pretend you don't need to know anything | 01:48 |
| enrico | sktrdie: try mplayer --help | 01:48 |
| LinuxNewbie | ok will now | 01:48 |
| CarlFK | Originoo - I don't like to lock my front door, but I got used to it. you sould keep using sudo untill you get used to it | 01:49 |
| Will__ | sktrdie: I thought the package was mplayer-386 ? | 01:49 |
| enrico | sktrdie: never used it. | 01:49 |
| sktrdie | enrico: It doesnt find | 01:49 |
| holycow | rasputnik, then they shouldn't promise them the world, and lock the thing down | 01:49 |
| enrico | sktrdie: ahh ok, so its not installed. | 01:49 |
| Will__ | Originoo: You could use su. Maybe setup a shortcut to a root terminal? | 01:49 |
| jaga | no i never used sktrdie | 01:49 |
| enrico | sktrdie: maybe you mispelled the package name .. search the right name .. with "sudo aptitude search mplayer" | 01:49 |
| jaga | i am trying it now | 01:49 |
| holycow | rasputnik, as well, 'just works' and 'just get something done' is highly subjective | 01:49 |
| rasputnik | Will__: I'd say they should either sell a black box or a hacker toy, instead of requiring Grannies to understand the danger of DLL conflicts | 01:50 |
| holycow | a programmers definition of a workflow that fits that will be entirely different from a graphic designers | 01:50 |
| holycow | as well as a system administrators | 01:50 |
| sktrdie | enrico: ok the one I isntalled is mplayer-powerpc | 01:50 |
| holycow | the problem is not 'just get it done', the problem is the user is taught that they can be a system administrator | 01:50 |
| sktrdie | but if I type "mplayer-powerpc | 01:50 |
| sktrdie | enrico: nothing happens | 01:50 |
| LinuxNewbie | is there a software in linux can act up like users can log in to ubuntu ang monitor what they are doing? | 01:50 |
| enrico | sktrdie: type "mplay" and the press tab | 01:50 |
| jaga | "sudo aptitude search mplayer" this does not mach any thing | 01:50 |
| holycow | and a system administrator, like say any other specialty, like a mechanic or a doctor, requires training and knowledge | 01:50 |
| Will__ | Windows isn't that difficult to use or configure. You can do some great things. But it is harder to really understand. | 01:50 |
| sktrdie | enrico: nope | 01:50 |
| rasputnik | holycow: I'm really talking about end users who just want a platform to run their life on, be it web/mail/doc editing or CAD | 01:51 |
| Will__ | holycow has a point. I think people are mislead into thinking they can do everything, easily | 01:51 |
| holycow | i.e. you are either a user or an administrator, just don't like to the user that they can be administrators by merely buying a licence to run an os | 01:51 |
| holycow | rasputnik, exactly. but thats just one workflow. | 01:51 |
| Will__ | Should I be drinking 6 shots of espresso for lunch? | 01:51 |
| sktrdie | o well... enrico: also sound isnt working :( | 01:51 |
| LinuxNewbie | there is no software that can monitor the client computers | 01:51 |
| sktrdie | enrico: also do you know where the kernel is located in Ubuntu? I thought it was always /usr/src/linux | 01:52 |
| LinuxNewbie | like what they are doing, what website they are in | 01:52 |
| holycow | as a user that wants that workflow to 'just work' he should buy a preinstalled system, installed by someone who knows, managed by someone who understands | 01:52 |
| enrico | sktrdie: hoary? | 01:52 |
| holycow | a user without training has no business installing software, setting up firewalls, etc. | 01:52 |
| sktrdie | yea | 01:52 |
| jaga | sorry i could not find mplayer | 01:52 |
| holycow | i realize i'm stating it too black and white, there are shades of grey here, but system administration is not a joke | 01:52 |
| rasputnik | holycow: but that's true in all OSes, isn't it? you can be clueless on any platform :) | 01:52 |
| enrico | try typing alsamixer | 01:52 |
| holycow | its not something you pick up on a weekend | 01:52 |
| holycow | rasputnik, right exactly | 01:52 |
| holycow | :) | 01:52 |
| sktrdie | enrico: that works... I mean if i open XMMS it only runs with the eSound Output Plugin | 01:53 |
| enrico | sktrdie: and check for wolumes | 01:53 |
| sktrdie | enrico: but If i select ALSA it doesnt' work | 01:53 |

| holycow | and the botnets are the resulting consequence imho | 01:54 |
| jaga | "sktrdie" where do i find this | 01:55 |

| holycow | stig_, unfortunately for now it requires a bit of work | 02:02 |
| holycow | a: you will only be able to read the ntfs files | 02:02 |
| holycow | b) you wont be able to write to an ntfs partition | 02:03 |
| stig_ | I only need to read from it :) | 02:03 |
| holycow | ms keeps ntfs info secret, and any interim support for write has essentially dissapeared as no one cares enough to maintain the components | 02:03 |
| holycow | okay | 02:03 |
| holycow | then | 02:03 |
| jonbusby | hmmm hang on | 02:03 |
| jonbusby | may have solved this | 02:03 |
| jonbusby | brb | 02:03 |
| holycow | 1. you need to find your ntfs partition with sudo fdisk -l | 02:03 |
| === fge [~insomniac@fge.user] has left #ubuntu ["May] | ||
| holycow | 2. you need to create a folder in say /media to wher eyou will mount to the ntfs partition ... mine is /media/ntfs | 02:04 |

| Vjaz | narkceh, because you're trying to open /etc/modules as a regular user. what you're doing is essentially running "echo fglrx" with sudo and redirecting it to /etc/modules. You should run "sudo -s" or "sudo su -" and then run "echo fglrx >> /etc/modules" | 03:09 |

| rasputnik | DodGeR_X: what is it, a tarfile? | 06:12 |
| bluefoxicy | spikeh: it should just show up in there and mount when you browse to it. | 06:12 |
| DodGeR_X | its a .bin | 06:12 |
| bluefoxicy | spikeh: you can read but not write to ntfs though. | 06:12 |
| DodGeR_X | u run it u end up with a rpm | 06:12 |
| DodGeR_X | then ure screwed without java-package | 06:12 |
| === uc50ic4more [~robert@d36-69-80.home1.cgocable.net] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| rasputnik | DodGeR_X: chmod and run it . if it makes a rpm get the other one (think there's a tarfile) | 06:12 |
| spikeh | bluefoxicy, I can't view hard disk images, its a Windows partition | 06:13 |
| DodGeR_X | ok , and with the tarfile it 'just works' ? | 06:13 |
| bluefoxicy | spikeh: yeah, those, they should be in Places->Computer? | 06:13 |
| spikeh | concept10, how do I mount/CHMOD the Windows partition? | 06:13 |
| goldfish_ | spikeh: sudo mkdir /windows && sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /windows/ && sudo chmod -R 555 /windows .... maybe? | 06:13 |
| bluefoxicy | like hda1 hda2 . . . | 06:13 |
| spikeh | bluefoxicy, they are not in Places > Computer | 06:13 |
| bluefoxicy | oh, wow. | 06:13 |

| spikeh | goldfish_, do I run that in Terminal? | 06:13 |
| DodGeR_X | rasputnik, this is the jdk not the jre right ? | 06:14 |
| bluefoxicy | goldfish_: the chmod won't work but aside from that that'll do it. | 06:14 |
| goldfish_ | bluefoxicy: ah right. | 06:14 |
| bluefoxicy | spikeh: do you have windows programs you need? | 06:14 |
| spikeh | What do you mean bluefoxicy ? | 06:14 |
| goldfish_ | spikeh: yes, ignore the && chmod bit.... | 06:14 |
| mjr | spikeh, give mount the option -oumask=000 and everyone will have access. If you need to restrict further, see options uid, gid and umask | 06:14 |
| bluefoxicy | like do you need to use any programs made for windows | 06:14 |
| Silent | DodGeR_X, looks like this might help: http://serios.net/content/debian/java/with-java-package.php#gettingstartedhoary | 06:14 |
| spikeh | Yes, I have looked into WINE | 06:14 |
| bluefoxicy | spikeh: Linux won't run Windows programs; wine is a toy as of yet. | 06:14 |

| Silent | bluefoxicy, I disagree - wine is enterprise ready for many apps | 06:15 |
| bluefoxicy | spikeh: ah good. You've done your researhc. | 06:15 |
| spikeh | So do I type that into Terminal? | 06:15 |
| spikeh | The mount bit | 06:15 |
| mjr | goldfish_, well, it doesn't matter if the mount is read-only anyway | 06:16 |
| goldfish_ | mjr: ah right, cool. | 06:16 |
| bluefoxicy | Silent: I've run wine and had programs suffer loss of functionality (i.e. dropdown boxes suddenly don't drop down, some options vanish), video corruption (parts of widgets just smear and stop showing up), crashes, lags (audio skips), freezes. . . | 06:16 |

| e-head | question ... the difference between -386 and -686 for the kernel images ... | 06:52 |
| e-head | is the difference just in the way it's compiled ? or in the .config file too ? | 06:52 |

| simone | Hi... After having a problem free install of Ubuntu Hoary on my wife's box, I decided to change my work box from Mandrake 10.1 to Ubuntu. I thought the install went well until I got to the login screen. I typed my username and password and then I got an error message: your session lasted less than 10 second. Unless you terminated the session there is either a problem with the drive being full or a problem with the install. try one of the failsafe sessions to | 09:23 |
| simone | see if you can fix the problem. The Gnome failsafe session also failed. I then rebooted an got to a command line. I typed login and it logged me in. I typed ls (the only command line command I know) and it gave me the files that I expected to find under my /home partition. So can somebody give me some advice? | 09:23 |
| cmatheson | simone, the safe thing won't hell you debug x windows stuff | 09:24 |
| eyequeue | simone: if you can get to a terminal via alt-ctrl-f2, try logging in as your user then running "sudo apt-get clean" | 09:24 |

| phaedrus4444 | booohooo.... | 09:33 |
| GouramiGP | ok does this make sense, I crontab - e and the line is 25 21 * * * shutdown 21:45 which should mean every day at 21:25 run the command shutdown 21:45 ? | 09:33 |
| eyequeue | Blue_Summer: yeah, similar enough for now at least :) | 09:33 |
| Blue_Summer | yep its only the skin chooser and one or two other apps that shut down straight away | 09:33 |
| phaedrus4444 | i need to update repositories...and dont know how | 09:33 |
| ebone | guys ... if i boot 2.6.10 i'm fine ... if i boot 2.6.8.1 I get crazy IO errors. Both STOCK ubuntu kernels. | 09:33 |
| ebone | any ideas ? | 09:33 |
| you-bunt-too | ebone, use what works? | 09:33 |
| ebone | i have an odd need to use 2.6.8.1 ... or else i would. :) | 09:34 |
| eyequeue | ebone: wild guess: you have some hardware that ubuntu didn't support by default in the earlier kernel? newish box? | 09:34 |
| GouramiGP | but I am not sure if I need to specify a path for shutdown, I know shutdown 21:45 works from the terminal but I need to sudo shutdown | 09:34 |
| ebone | eyequeue: not really. mobo's probably a year to 2 years old. | 09:34 |
| GouramiGP | does the cron job automatically assume or use sudo ? | 09:34 |
| HappyFool | GouramiGP: make sure you install the crontab file with sudo too | 09:34 |
| ebone | but you may be right. | 09:34 |
| HappyFool | GouramiGP: it is run as the user who sets it up (i guess install is the wrong word) | 09:35 |
| GouramiGP | ok if I sudo crontab -e then the crontab that I had is blank | 09:35 |
| cmatheson | GouramiGP, you could probably actually crontab -l to not pop up your editor | 09:35 |
| eyequeue | ebone: boot to 2.6.8.1, then sudo dmesg > dmesg2681, reboot to 2.6.10, then dmesg > dmesg2610 (and since you're in the kernel that "behaves") "diff dmesg2681 dmesg2610 | less" | 09:36 |

| GouramiGP | ok I have done sudo crontab -e will see if it runs | 09:36 |
| Blue_Summer | eyequeue, i can't move the skin because i don't know the name of it | 09:36 |
| eyequeue | ebone: there may be a more elegant solution, but that's where i'd end up starting | 09:36 |
| tiglionabbit | I mean getopt | 09:36 |
| HappyFool | tiglionabbit: try maybe libpopt-dev ? | 09:36 |
| HappyFool | tiglionabbit: not sure if it has a compatability thing, but that's what 'apt-cache search getopt' brings up | 09:37 |
| GouramiGP | ok I see that crontab set it up for the current user, sudo crontab set it up for root | 09:37 |
| eyequeue | Blue_Summer: yes, and i don't know enough about skins to know where to look for it .... here's a very brute-force means i guess: ls -r | less, then scroll through until you see a filename that looks familiar? | 09:37 |

| tiglionabbit | it's odd that gcc doesn't complain about references to the getopt function, but there's no manual for getopt(3c) and it doesn't understand the external variables. Man this is gonna be a bit tough making this program portable. Damn you, Mackey! | 09:38 |
| CarlFK | tmdca - I would use one of the SIP phones that you can install with synaptic | 09:39 |

| GouramiGP | yes I have, but the two examples contradict each other by swopping the order of HH and MM | 09:42 |
| eyequeue | phaedrus4444: what's running is what slows it down, if you install some huge app but don't start it, it should still be fast :) | 09:42 |
